My wife and I stayed at the Faunbrook B & B this past weekend and had a wonderful experience. The home was beautiful and the rooms were decorated to match the home. Our room had a claw foot tub. This is a major draw for my wife. We will be sure to stay there again when we go back to that area of PA. We have also decided to ensure that we stay in B & B's whenever we travel. The owners were wonderful to us. We enjoy reading the history of the home. That always adds to the experience. The morning meals were great as we'll. Dennis Mecum

This was our first B&B. What a beautiful old house, with updated, clean rooms and bathrooms.

We had a wonderful stay at the Faunbrook Bed & Breakfast. The rooms were lovely and the staff and owners were so nice and welcoming. We would surely come back again whenever we were in the area.

My fiance and I stayed at Faunbrook in May 2014. We had a lovely time. The grounds are beautiful. The restored historic house was elegant, clean, and comfortable. The B&B owner and staff were friendly and professional. The location is perfect; there is a beautiful and easy 5 - 10 minute walk into the center of town. We would definitely recommend this B&B.

I was in West Chester for a short conference, and was not interested in staying at the two hotels in town recommended by the conference, so I stayed at Faunbrook instead - what a great decision that was! My room (Isabel) was beautiful, and made me feel like a queen. It had a big, comfy canopy bed, lots of space and pretty details, and a wonderful, claw foot tub in the bathroom. There is a soap/bath products store in town - Silvanus - where I purchased some wonderful lavender bubble bath to use for my evening bubble bath. The breakfast was wonderful, too. The first morning, we had fabulous raspberry pancakes and a veggie frittata (I don't eat meat). The second morning, I they made me another kind of veggie frittata along with delicious scones. The coffee was great, too! The owner is very friendly, and the downstairs area inviting with lots of books, including a photo album with photos and articles about the Darlington family and past owners of Faunbrook - not to be missed! Faunbrook is also an easy walk into West Chester, so I walked back and forth to the conference one day as well. All, in all, a perfect stay at the Faunbook and visit to West Chester.

My husband and I stayed here in early October, visiting our daughter at her boarding school nearby. The B&B itself is gorgeous: the big yard, giving a feeling of being out in the country, the lovingly restored and maintained historic house, and the beautiful, luxuriously-appointed guest rooms. But the icing on the cake (literally) was the extra effort our hosts went to for us. It was our daughter's birthday, and they let us stage a little celebration for her in the dining room that night; we brought the cake and candles, and they supplied plates, napkins, forks, cake server, etc, and cleaned up afterwards. It was her first birthday away from home, and it really helped to be able to celebrate it in a beautiful, home-like setting. Then they got up quite early the next morning, to serve us breakfast before we had to leave for the Parents' Day activities. Thank you so much!

After the big event at Kings Mill, this is the perfect getaway. We arrived late and all was prepared for our arrival. Our car and luggage were delivered early in the day prior to our wedding. When we arrived, champagne was ready, bed was ready and next morning, breakfast was ready!!! Life is great!!!

With Ron Kaplan of "Purple People Eater" fame guiding the way, the folks at Mid-America built the car on a 1963 Corvette frame, installing a 377 CI dry sump Donovan all-aluminum small block generating 591 horses and over 500 lb ft of torque; the car also features a full roll cage, Wilwood disc brakes, NASCAR power steering, Halon fire suppression and a new fuel cell. Featured in February 2009 Corvette Fever magazine, this is a proven race Corvette in classic Grand Sport clothing.

the U.S., where are you? Aren't you world policeman?
Don't hide behind the scenes!
"Terrible, violent war, and the discussion about the rights and wrongs must be delayed: peace is needed immediately."
I absolutely agree with you ,fontedasaudade.
Yankee Doodle wrote: "Where in our world is there an 'open border'?"Perhaps "open border" should be defined before examples of it are brought into the discussion. But in order to do this, you should also define the opposite of "open border," which is closed border. How many of these are there in the world? Why do they exist? Why cut off all supplies?Yankee Doodle wrote: "Hamas dominates Gaza, not Israel."Why does Hamas "dominate" Gaza? Why is that group so popular in Gaza? Oh, that's right, because the people of Gaza chose them to carry out their interests. But a group that is committed to the "destruction of Israel," which may also be defined as a group that is opposed to a Jewish state that favors Jews over all others, a state that discriminates against all non-Jews (i.e. Muslims and Christians - but not American Christians, because they mostly love Israel and make it richer. I mean Palestinian Christians, as well as other native Christians, about whom you likely know nothing) - such a group must be destroyed, along with the people who chose it to rule. along with anyone else that happens to be in the immediate area. Because Palestinians are not to oppose Israeli power. They are not even to harbor thoughts of Israel's harm - that can't be allowed. This is simply a brutal campaign intended to demonstrate Israeli state power. Israel intends to destroy people who dare to challenge its stranglehold there. These Israeli sentiments have been made clear in other discussion forums on this website. They weren't even implied but explicitly stated.Yankee Doodle wrote: "As an American I am pleased that we have contributed more to the sustinance than all of the Muslims combined have."Why has the American government contributed more? Oh yeah, because America controls and consumes more resources than any other country, which means that it produces more wealth and goods than any other country. If it didn't give a little SOMETHING back, the world's discontent would naturally result in uncontrollable anger directed straight at America by "moderates" as well, not only by radicals like bin-Laden. Thus, give them enough so that they will survive and not dare oppose the powerful. This ensures they remain moderates.Yankee Doodle wrote: "I am pleased that Americans have pressured Israel to make the concessions made in the past."Yeah, like the most recent one in which Bush did not allow Israel to bomb Iran. We should be thankful that the US arms Israel and then prevents its leadership from starting another disastrous war in an oil-rich country. But as long as we all recognize the Holocaust and mourn for Jews, that's what matters, for Jewish lives and suffering deserve the most sympathy, right?Yankee Doodle wrote: "War is always war. War is always a violent atrocity. This one is no different. The point of war is to disporportionally inflict violence. I pray that this war soon ends and never resumes, but I do not expect this."Why are there wars? I've learned because there are a limited amount of resources in this world, such as land, water, petroleum-based products, and many others. So one country (the US) controls and consumes more than others, and if the dirt-poor ones decide to imitate that most powerful country by attempting to gain control of resources by force, since they don't believe they can get enough resources by other means, then they must thus be destroyed. It's quite a conservative position: keep things the way they are, those in power shall stay in power. But you keep praying to your god for peace while you continue to consume a disproportionate amount of resources, thus contributing to this conflict and helping to speed up the creation of more disastrous ones.
We need to impose Justice for War Crimes!
Indict ALL of them to the international justices.
Tinelva,Even Jewish Resistance to Nazi Germany used civilians as human shields. That was one of the main reasons that the Polish non-Jews turned against Polish Jews and killled them all before the Nazis could get to them: to protect themselves from being used as human shields by Jewish Resistance Fighters in the middle of the Second World War.Nothing is ever truly black and white.
Terrible, violent war, and the discussion about the rights and wrongs must be delayed: peace is needed immediately.
An article published on Jan. 9th in the French newspaper Le Figaro showed that Hamas makes 6 to 8 million dollars per months with the smuggling of goods and weapons in the Gaza tunnels, from which they have complete control. There are around 1250 openings in the Gaza side, and 850 in the Egyption side. Here is the link: http://www.lefigaro.fr/international/2009/01/10/01003-20090110ARTFIG0020...
(Footage from one of those tunnels can be seen at the link: http://observers.france24.com/en/content/20090109-exclusive-raw-mobile-f...)
Hamas refused to accept the French-Egyptian peace plan, that had as one of the main points the complete closing of those tunnels and control of the area by the UN peace corps. It seems to me that Hamas ideological battle may be mixed up with economic interests.
where will it end? a good question. what if israel succeeds and gets a regime change? Hamas will be expelled, destroyed as a political party when let us say a thousand Hamas leaders and militants are killed and five thousand imprisoned. Great. But what of the other 10,000 militants that are going to be scattered around the middle east? Second, the more i read about the mosques of Egypt being filled uup every day with thousands of angry Muslims, the more i think of the last days of he Shah of Iran. Suppose there was a Muslim state of Egypt? Where will it all end? The US will have to go to war with the Muslim/Arab Middle East.
L.A. Seneca wrote: "The border with Egypt is not enough. All borders should be open for a decent society to be established and sustained. Blaming other muslim countries does not justify Israeli dominance of Gaza. And your hostile comments regarding muslims and the individual whom they regard as their prophet betray your true sentiments."
Where in our world is there an "open border"?
Why has Egypt bulit an Islamic Berlin Wall with machine guns to keep the Palestinians where Egypt wants them imprisoned?
Hamas dominates Gaza, not Israel.
I appreciate Muslims the most when I travel through their lands. They are a most hospitable people generally. I don't have a side in this war. I stand for Peace. Either Egypt or Israel could let the Palestinians flee their prison in Gaza. As an American I am pleased that we have contributed more to the sustinance than all of the Muslims combined have. I am pleased that Americans have pressured Israel to make the concessions made in the past. I pray for the safety of the muslims in Gaza. I have never met an American who felt differently, who was not a friend to the Palestinians.
War is always war. War is always a violent atrocity. This one is no different. The point of war is to disporportionally inflict violence. I pray that this war soon ends and never resumes, but I do not expect this.
How sad, the Gaza Concentration Camps (GCC):The attack on Gaza Concentration camp (GCC) is part of a long term jewish state plan for population and territory control. It is done smartly, even better than either Hitler or Stalin knew how. GCC is similar to the Nazi camps with three main differences: 1- Nazis had to build a camp. The jewish state does not.2- Nazis were responsible for the meager feeding of the poor prisoners in the camps. The jewish state is not.3- Nazis had an elaborate scheme of gassing their victims, getting rid of the bodies, etc. The jewish state simply uses airplanes, missiles, and bombs paid by the American tax payers. There would be concentration camps and no peace until Palestinains have effective means of defending themselves. Their weakness invites aggression. Until then, the extremists in the jewish state and their allies in the US have no incentive for peace especially when we, the American tax payers, reward them after each flare up their create. J.
There is no solution on a capitalist basis. only the arab and israeli working class, marginalising the religious fanatics, and fighting hand in hand for a socialist republic of the middle east, can end the barbarism, the crisis, the impasse which the dead end of capitalism has brought them.
workers of the middle east! fight your real enemy- the bosses-the capitalist system- the druggers of the peoples minds!
workers of the world-unite!
It will end if theUS is not on the payroll of theJewish lobby. It is a pityful sight to see a big country being chained by the neck like a poodlebbby tiny Israel. They use US weapons to burn and kill with cluster and phosphorus bombs. The shellings and bombings are merciless and unrelenting savagery. No other nation on earth can ask for a buffer of comfort and security and yet they want to internationalize their borders with UN toops for their "security"Why waste money on them if they don't want to stop the conflict
The situation and the arguments used to justify Israel's horrifying use of force in Gaza and elsewhere remind me of Hitler's justifications of the seizure of the Sudetenland and subsequent annexation of Austria. The vastly disproportionate slaughter of civilians as a revenge for Israels losses from rocket attacks reminds me of the slaughter of whole villages in Nazi occupied Europe in retaliation for the killing of soldiers or officials by members of the Resistance. We and our allies supported and armed that Resistance and justified our support on the grounds that Germany was occupying France illegally, though plenty of the French were complacent about that occupation.
The parallels are too close for us to have comfortable consciences. We talk about principles and rights. If we were there actually seeing the horrors in Gaza rather than in a sanitizaed version on TV in comfort we might think very differently about rights and wrongs.
"...to the point where the Islamists, in the summer of 2007, evicted Fatah from Gaza, leaving it in charge only of the rump Palestinian proto-state in the West Bank."I'm sorry, but the opposite is actually true. Fatah managed to evict Hamas from the West Bank, leaving Hamas in charge of the Gaza strip.
Yankee Doodle,The border with Egypt is not enough. All borders should be open for a decent society to be established and sustained. Blaming other muslim countries does not justify Israeli dominance of Gaza. And your hostile comments regarding muslims and the individual whom they regard as their prophet betray your true sentiments.
L.A. Seneca wrote: "... Israel intends to control the borders and the supplies destined for Gaza..."
Egypt and not Israel control access to Gaza. Everything and everyone that Egypt wishes to pass into Gaza passes into Gaza over that border. Most Palestinians within Gaza would gladly leave their prison if Egypt would only allow them to leave. The Prophet however taught all muslims to not help the muslim Palestinians who are imprisoned, impoverished, and in great need of aid. For this reason Egypt ignores the plight of the Palestinians.
"Israel has the right to defend itself." This empty phrase is an attempt to justify the entrapment Gazans and complete isolation of their territory. Israel intends to control the borders and the supplies destined for Gaza. This is Israel's way of defending itself? Such an argument can be applied to the Pal. side - Gaza is defending itself by fighting to control its own borders, its own destiny. Israel will lose fight for the "hearts and minds" of the world's people - it will lose the propaganda war because of its brutal treatment of Gazans and for the weak arguments it uses to justify such crimes.
SJNP wrote: "Best efforts to avoid civilian deaths? In Gaza, the Israeli infantry won't take a single step forward unless the ground in front of them -- and everything and everyone in it, armed, unarmed, whoever and whatever they are -- has been safely cleared away for them by the air or by artillery."
This is exactly how all wars are fought by all armies. This is exactly how all wars need to be fought. The whole point of any war is to disporportionally inflict massive violence and thereby win that war. This is why all wars are evil and war need to be avoided - but make no mistake about war, all wars kill lots of the innocent. They always have and they always will.
Israel is a normal state and has the right to defend itself, just like any other country.When the people who attack you are hiding within the civilian population, inevitably civilians die. This is usually the case with terrorists, who then should take the blame for the associated casualties. This is true in Pakistan as well as in Gaza.Ironically, it is the Islamists themselves who are the most adamant at killing civilians. Where are the mass demonstrations against the mass killing of (Muslim) civilians by suicide bombings perpetrated by the Islamists in various countries?This is a war which was started by attacks from Hamas against Israel, and as in any war, Israel has the right to defend itself until the defeat of its enemy. In doing so it goes beyond what's accepted norms of military behavior already. When is the last time the US army called the terrorists is was about to blow up on their cell phones to warn them of the attack?All the anti-Israel demonstrations are as usual an attempt to defeat and ultimately destroy Israel. It isn't the first time nor will it be the last that Jews were incited against by mobs.
Best efforts to avoid civilian deaths?
In Gaza, the Israeli infantry won't take a single step forward unless the ground in front of them -- and everything and everyone in it, armed, unarmed, whoever and whatever they are -- has been safely cleared away for them by the air or by artillery.
"The result is the killing of dozens of non-combatant Palestinians. The Gaza medical teams might not have reached all of them yet. When an Israeli force gets into an entanglement, as in Sajaiyeh last night [where three Israeli soldiers were killed], massive fire into built-up areas is initiated to cover the extraction. In other cases, a chain of explosions is initiated from a distance to set off Hamas booby-traps. It is a method that leaves a swath of destruction taking in entire streets, and does not distinguish military targets from the homes of civilians."
the Israelis used the very same tactics in Jenin and Nablus in 2002, and in southern Lebanon in 2006 and 1982. And it would be an act of futility to point out -- for the millionth time -- that the Israeli method of warfare takes place in sweeping disregard for the principles of international humanitarian law, not to mention total contempt for innocent human life.
When does the mandate of victimhood expire? At what point does the Nazi genocide of Europe's Jews cease to excuse the state of Israel from the demands of international law and of common humanity? ~ Fintan O'Toole, The Irish Times

Passover is a time to remember the struggle against oppression for thousands of years and a time to celebrate the freedom that came from it.
Deadly shootings at Jewish Community Centers in Kansas are now part of the greater struggle for all people, according to Rabbi Samuel Cohon at Temple Emanu-el in Tucson. Monday, the rabbi's family hosted more than 30 people to their home for the first night of Passover.
Police arrested 73-year-old Frasier Glenn Cross, a former leader for the Ku Klux Klan according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. The incident is considered a hate crime by the Justice Department even though the three victims are not Jewish.
"That misguided, wrong and hateful person actually killed Christians," Cohon said. "In some ways, it makes it even more tragic because it shows the deep senselessness of this."
Passover teaches that everyone should have value and be free, according to the rabbi. Cohon said he supports the 2nd Amendment but said he cannot understand how someone with a history of hatred could have access to firearms in the first place.
"We shouldn't allow people who we think might be dangerous to have access to weapons of destruction," he said. "It's one thing to say we all have a right to bear arms, to be free. It's another to say people that are identified as dangerous should have a right to bear arms and therefore go shoot up a Jewish Community Center."
Cohon expects close to 150 people to attend a celebration at Temple Emanu-el for the second night of Passover.

Hello and welcome to Zazakey.com
I'm sure you all have heard the old saying "curiosity killed the cat". What is this actually supposed to mean? Knowing too much is dangerous for us? In some extent yes (namely politics), however, when curiosity strikes about oneself then it's simple: knowledge is power!
We now live at an age where everything is open to us, which is a good thing right? Well what would you think if I tell you that you may be wrong? Look at it through this perspective; ANYBODY is able to feed ANY kind of information onto the internet without good or even no detailed research, etc. The problem we are faced with here is, yes we are open to so much information. But just HOW MUCH of that information is actually relevant to us? How credible is this information?
It's worrying to see how some people post things onto the internet on for example how to cure a certain condition. "My method of curing this problem is ABC" or "I never go to the doctor, but I take DEF and it makes it feel better". Now the example I have shown is in regards to health. You wouldn't believe it but when I research online for matters relating to health, I actually come across rubbish like this. People literally 'DIY'ing their health. Just because it makes you "feel good" for the short term does not amount to the fact that the problem is cured.
Back to what this website is actually about. As mentioned above; knowledge is power. A human-being can know some much, yet it can amount to so little, because we are now living through a time where things develop much faster and sometimes beyond control. Thankfully however, we have the internet to keep us up to speed and this website is aimed at being that small piece of the puzzle to help put together a greater picture.

Ivy Leaf - Spring 2007
Thoughts from the Chancellor
Dear Alumni and Friends,
Every once in awhile we have an experience that makes our world pause, and in those moments we enjoy a clarity of vision, reminding us of our purpose and priorities, of who we are, and why we entered our chosen profession. I call these "renaissance moments"—they refresh our spirit, renew our commitment to our core values, and reaffirm our desire to make this world a better place. We are awakened and motivated, and we focus our efforts and actions with newfound conviction.
In the past few months I've had several such experiences.
One occurred late in the afternoon of March 2, in the Grand Ballroom in the Marriott Hotel by the Brooklyn Bridge. The room was filled with several hundred college students from around the country, each hoping to receive the Champion Award in the regional Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) competition in order to qualify for the upcoming national competition in Dallas. They came from across the country, ready to impress the judges representing various corporate sponsors for the event. Their twenty-four minute team presentations would summarize their year's work in providing service to their local communities with the goal of improving the lives of others.
Late the night before, I was fortunate to spend time with one of the recipients of the Champion Award. Like many of the other hopeful contestants, this team was rehearsing their presentation, being coached on every aspect of their speech and presentation—from gestures, content, and voice tone to inflection, mannerisms, and more—by their dedicated Penn State Altoona professors, Cynthia Wood and Donna Bon.
Watching these final preparations and the following day's competition—the energy, attention to detail, and professionalism of both students and professors—was pure magic. Listening to the goals and outcomes of our students' projects to improve the lives of children and adults in our community was pure gold. When the tournament director announced that Penn State Altoona's SIFE team won the Champion Award and would be advancing to the national competition, my heart swelled with pride, chills ran up and down my spine, and my eyes filled with tears. I had just witnessed the fulfillment of our mission of teaching, research, and service. I had just experienced a "renaissance moment."
It happened to me again during the spring performance of Ivyside Pride!, our student vocal/dance ensemble. While watching their production of "A Tribute to the Beatles," I found myself transported to another era. I vividly recalled seeing the Beatles for the first time on the Ed Sullivan show, and smiled at the memory of bringing my 45-rpm records of "She Loves You" and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" to show-and-tell in first grade. I am sure that there were others in the audience having their own personal trip down memory lane as well—all thanks to the hard work, talent, and passion of our students on that stage.
Most recently, I was privileged to attend our Student Awards Ceremony. During this evening, we celebrate the individual and collective achievements of our students. As I watched these young men and women receive their awards, I was overcome with an incredible sense of pride. And I left that evening with a renewed sense of purpose—about our college and our responsibility to fulfill its mission, about our work with our students and our community, and our work with each other.
As I look back on the many renaissance moments of this academic year, I feel hopeful for our future. And I thank each of you for the role that you have played, and continue to play, in making our world a better place for all.

Guestbook comments from the owner
We had a wonderful week. Fantastic hiking, good food and drinks. We are definitely coming back.
Mark Beaney
We are a family of 5 from East Yorkshire who just love our skiing and the skiing in Zell am See is as good as you can get, however we decided to purchase our apartment in Zell after finally visiting in the summer. We could not believe how wonderful this resort was in the summer with the Lake to swim in and the walking and cycling in the mountains we knew that we would be coming back winter and summer for many years to come.
We finally chose this property for it wonderful location, 75m from he nearest ski lift and 100m from the lake shore.
When we first viewed the apartment we were amazed by the spacious nature of the bedrooms, kitchen, lounge and balcony. Compared to some ski apartments we have rented in the past this apartment had everything.
The kitchen is fully equipped and there is seating for six adults around the dining table.
The views from the balcony over the lake and of the ski runs coming down the mountain are stunning.
The apartment is also located close to the train station and the bus station which have regular services to Salzburg airport approx. 1hr away.
The prime benefit of this apartment is its ease of access to all the amenities of Zell am See. In winter the ski lift is a short walk away, in summer the town centre and Lake are also a short stroll away.

Your post made me happy!!! I am so glad you got out there and did it - one step closer my friend:)
If all you get is all you give, then you should only give all you''ve got.
SO glad you got out there. I've never got runners high from NOT running!
No stopping, no starting, just keeping on...
GREAT advice, Robert!

BEAUTY_WITHIN - this is a classic case of life getting in the way and it will be an issue for as long as you are breathing. The best way to get the "woo hoo" back is to simply lace up and go, feelings or no feelings. The getting out there creates the momentum and the momentum brings on the woo hoo of accomplishment.
My experience in this is that I trained for my first marathon working a rotating shift schedule. That means every 7 days I am changing from days to nights to afternoons. that really goofs things up but I still did it. What I had to do was to change my expectations and make them more realistic. I treated the training schedule like i treat a picture of a meal on a box.."serving suggestion". on a goofy schedule, a training plan does not fit into a neat little box on a calendar, it fits where you make it fit. There were many times I didnt run for 7 days or better because my schedule didnt allow it. I adapted my expectations, remained flexible, and moved forward.
Just get your momentum by simply getting out there, the feelings will follow eventually.
you can do it!
-your success depends on what you do when the woo hoo is all through-

I read an article a few months ago to not look at it as motivation. It does not get you anywhere. Look at it as a promise to yourself. From your description, you sound like a person (like me) that keeps your promises to others. Well when you decided to start running and get healthy it wasn't motivation, you made a promise to yourself to do this. You made a promise to eat better and start running. You don't break your promises to others, so you why should you break your promise to yourself? You, just like the rest of everyone else in your life deserve to have promises to kept to you. So each time you're thinking I can't, just ask yourself, remind yourself that you're worth that promise because you truly are.
Also, I know it is difficult to be a caretaker, along with all of the other responsibilties in your life, but you owe to yourself and everyone else to put yourself first and take care of you. If you are not taking care of you, then who is? You will be a better care taker if you have taken care of you. Hang in there. You can do this!

Great advice from everyone here!!
Don't feel like running? Put on your shoes and get out for a walk,then. Tell yourself 10 min out,10 min back...you might just find you want to throw in a little run while you're out but there's no pressure if you don't. Do this each day and soon, that running bug will be gnawing at you...trust me,I've been there...i'm sure we all have.
And Trish is right-NO EXCUSES!

Aww, I feel for you and I can relate! But...you said it's been a week? You can do this! I started running again today and I haven't ran in over a month. I lost my mojo somewhere too but my dd wants to start running and asked if I'd run with her. I forgot how good it feels when I'm done.
Trish had wonderful advice! Good luck to you and I hope you "get out there".
"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal"~Henry Ford
Tavy, that is awesome advice!!!
You want to get out there and do a run, what is stopping you? Is it your mind...I can't do it, I am too busy, I am too upset, whatever the deal is, I know it can consume you. So is it an excuse, or a reason? Man, that took me a long time to figure out...excuses give us permission to not do what we know is good, while reasons tell us we need to find a different way....
If you have a reason, re-set your goal, but if it is an excuse, let's look more forward than you are. You want to run, and want to achieve better health....if you get out there and do it, then you are getting closer to your goal...
If all you get is all you give, then you should only give all you''ve got.
How about starting C25K from the beginning? Find a friend to run with? Is there a running group near you, you can run with, my local town has a ladies only group, and beginners are welcome.
It's been nearly a week. I've been sick, and now that I'm feeling better, I want to get back to my running, but I'm feeling down and out of shape and just plain BLAH, the idea of going running just sounds impossible again. What happened? I was doing so good! I've been lookinga fter my sick grandma for the last week or so, so that's made my routine all wonky. :( *sighs*
How do I get my running excitement back???? :(
Are you hiding from who you could be?

German OEMs demo universal e-car charging system
The universal charging system requires only a single charging interface at the vehicle allowing the customer to charge with all existing charging methods: one-phase AC charging, fast three-phase AC charging, DC charging at home or ultra-fast DC charging at public charging stations.
A uniform vehicle interface reduces the complexity for development and deployment of electric vehicles. Multiple connectors in the infrastructure and different charging inlets at the vehicle are not needed for AC-charging on the one hand and DC-charging on the other hand. This unification goes beyond the connector: The Combined Charging System integrates also the charging communication and the electric and safety architecture. This will lead to cost reduction and facilitates the spread of electro-mobility at world level, the participants hope. The French automotive industry pursuits its own standard; it is not yet clear if both standards will be compatible.
The concept of the Combined Charging System was submitted in close cooperation with the above mentioned American vehicle manufacturers to the International Standardization in January 2011. The presentation at Baden-Baden will show the installation of the Combined Charging System in vehicles of manufactures being part of this initiative. This marks another development milestone. The Combined Charging System will be ready for deployment mid 2012 and then introduced into the market.

When the NBA's best players get together at the All-Star Game this Sunday at the Toyota Center in Houston, the Western Conference will be looking to notch their third straight victory over the East.
This year, look for the same stars to lead the Western Conference. Durant and Bryant will be joined in the starting lineup in 2013 by Bryant's Lakers' teammate Dwight Howard at center, who will be making his first appearance for the West. A pair of Los Angeles Clippers, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, round out the starting lineup.
Meanwhile, the Eastern Conference will be led by reigning MVP LeBron James, who will make his ninth straight All-Star appearance in 2013. His Miami Heat teammate Dwyane Wade joins him in the starting lineup, as do New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony and Celtics center Kevin Garnett. Garnett's Boston teammate Rajon Rondo was voted as the Eastern Conference's starting point guard, but will have to sit out this game after tearing his ACL a few weeks ago. Cleveland's Kyrie Irving may replace him in the starting lineup.
Entering the weekend, the biggest storyline might be how a young Eastern Conference team handles the more veteran Western Conference squad. Incredibly, the East has six players on their roster who will be playing in their first All-Star Game.
Along with Irving, the Bulls' Joakim Noah, the Nets' Brook Lopez, the Knicks' Tyson Chandler, Indiana's Paul George and Philadelphia point guard Jrue Holiday will all be making their first All-Star Game appearances. Houston's James Harden will be the the only first-time participant for the Western Conference. He will also be the only home-town Rocket represented in the game.
When the game does tip off, the Western Conference should have the edge offensively. The West boasts four of the league's top seven scorers, with Durant, Bryant, Harden and Westbrook all averaging at least 22.5 points per game.
The West will also have three of the league's five best rebounders, with Howard, Memphis' Zach Randolph and Golden State's David Lee all averaging at least 8.8 boards per game this season. Howard and Randolph rank No.'s 1 and 2 in the NBA in the category, with 11.9 and 11.5 averages respectively, while Noah will be the top rebounder on East squad, averaging 11.4 a contest in 2013.
Finally, guard play could be key, and both teams should get strong performances out of their backcourts.
West starter Chris Paul is second in the NBA with 9.5 assists per game and he will be joined by Westbrook and San Antonio's Tony Parker, who have combined to average 15.6 assists in the first half of the regular season. Don't sleep on the East's young combination of Irving (5.5 assists a game) and Holiday (8.9 assists per game), who can each dish the rock as well.
Other key players could include San Antonio's Tim Duncan, who enters the game averaging a near double-double (17.2 points per game and 9.6 rebounds) and Miami's Chris Bosh, who is averaging 17.7 points and 7.3 rebounds for the first-place Heat.
