By Maureen Orsborn
General contractor Rudolph and Sletten Inc. already had experience building green and with LEED-certified buildings, so when the company required a move to a larger facility, it naturally set a goal to receive certification of its own. Rudolph and Sletten chose to locate its new headquarters at a familiar site: Pacific Shores Center in Redwood City, CA. Rudolph and Sletten built the campus in 2000 with green aspects that would set the stage for LEED-CI certification.Sustainable features already in place at the Pacific Shores Center included bike lockers and showers in the fitness center. Entry parking is reserved for carpoolers, and the property offers a private shuttle to Caltrain. The Pacific Shores Center was built with curtainwall to allow maximum daylight. The floor layout was designed with private and open offices bordering the exterior window wall. To maximize daylight penetration and views, most private offices and conference rooms were outfitted with window walls and interior glazing. The top fabric panels were removed from existing high-walled cubes and replaced with glass. As a result, 92 percent of all seated spaces have a direct view to the outside. Many studies have linked direct sunlight to increases in productivity.
Many of the materials from the company's previous office space were utilized in the new Pacific Shores Center. For instance, 20,000 square feet of existing ceiling, 25,000 square feet of existing carpet, and 60 percent of existing partitions were reused. Such items as door leaves that could not be refinished were not rendered useless; instead, they were topped with a material traditionally used as floorcovering and transformed into countertops for the storage, mail, and copy rooms. File cabinets and conference tables were brought in from the old headquarters, and the cubicles left behind by the previous tenant were put to new use. Though many of the space's existing finishes remained the same, the integration of saturated colors and materials, such as split-faced limestone tile, stainless steel, and galvanized paneling, gave the space a more classic appearance.
The headquarters' furniture and conference room wall paneling contain recycled materials, and all new equipment, including computer monitors, printers, and faxes, are ENERGY STAR® rated. Rudolph and Sletten chose to outfit the new headquarters with high-tech communication equipment that would reduce the need for travel to the company's other California offices. Conference-room tools include digital marker boards and videoconferencing with high-definition cameras.
Attention to water conservation and air quality brought the new headquarters closer to a LEED rating. Water-conservation points were earned through the installation of waterless urinals and low-flow fixtures. Automatic faucets with half-gallon-per-minute aerators conserve water flow. The team selected low-VOC paints, composite woods, and millwork in order to reduce potentially harmful contaminants.
In 2006, the headquarters earned a LEED-CI Gold rating. For Rudolph and Sletten, simply achieving a LEED rating for its headquarters wasn't enough. To educate others on the process, they installed flash animation in the lobby and signage throughout the building describing the process of achieving a LEED rating.
Now, Rudolph and Sletten has a LEED-certified office it's proud to call "home," and has utilized this project and more than 100 LEED-accredited professionals to assist many clients in achieving the same success.
Judges' Comments
"The reuse of existing elements into an exciting and vibrant solution proves that it's possible to be creative in an environmentally sensitive way. It's extremely refreshing to see a company take a building that it created and remake it for its headquarters. Major corporations need to wake up and realize such potential; this concept should fit well within the code of ethics that major corporations now find themselves supporting."

'The Killing' Review: "Seventeen"
There's a whole lot of dead bodies on 'The Killing,' which means a whole lot of reasons for Sarah Linden to come out of retirement and get this investigation rolling, but she's got a few obstacles once she returns to the force.
'The Killing' isn't like other serialized dramas on television — unlike its AMC brethren 'Mad Men' and 'Breaking Bad,' there's not a whole lot of thematic stuff going on. It's a show that succeeds because it's a procedural wearing the grown-up clothes of a more prestigious serial drama, and it carries certain hallmarks, like a slow-burning plot, more legitimate talent, and direction that tries to evoke cinema rather than staying cozy in the familiar confines of your typical TV series. So reviewing it can be difficult sometimes because regardless of what 'The Killing' looks or acts like, it's still a procedural — it's a story more concerned with suspense and plotting than with theme.
If there's any theme in "Seventeen," it's transactions. The way Linden signs a contract with Skinner (Elias Koteas, who is just killing it) to reclaim her badge; the way Lyric and her friend take cigarettes from Linden in exchange for information; how Bullet refuses to take Holder's money in exchange for showing him Goldie's apartment because she wants to maintain her integrity and set herself apart from her working girl friends; the way Lyric performs oral sex in exchange for food from a friendly cabbie, and how the other working girls perform sexual acts for cash; and how Ray Seward somehow manages to obtain a razor blade in a bar of soap in prison. Sometimes transactions are harder to make, like getting Ray's son Adrian to tell Linden why he keeps drawing pictures of the woods where she uncovered the jackpot of dead hooker teen bodies. What can this adult detective do for a little kid, traumatized by the memory of his mother's murder? What currency does she have for someone like Adrian, whose innocence has been marred by tragedy? A visit with his father, if she can help it.
Holder and Becker stay busy keeping tabs on Goldie, who was introduced last week as a pimp and the guy who attacked poor Bullet. What I find compelling is how Bullet should be safe — she already dresses and acts like a boy, and wears jewelry, piercings, and layers of clothing like armor. Unlike her working girl friends, who seem to invite advances, Bullet does everything to ward them off. And still she is attacked by Goldie, proving that the streets are safe for no one, not even a butch teen. Even she can be violated and broken down.
What I'm having a harder time with his how clever the writers think they are with Ray Seward — we assume he'll use the razor blade to inflict pain on someone else because Peter Sarsgaard is playing it up as this sneering, angry prisoner on death row. We already learned in the first two hours of this season that Ray isn't who he's been made out to be, and after years in the prison system, it's easy to understand that he's become hardened and more violently-inclined — especially coupled with his guilt over his wife's murder, and someone can feel guilty for a death even if the death wasn't their fault. And so it's no surprise when Ray turns the razor on himself; better to kill yourself than be hanged for a crime you didn't commit. I think there's an interesting duality to Ray due to his circumstances and his history, but I worry that the writers are bludgeoning us over the head with it by having Sarsgaard play up the angrier, more menacing side. There's little subtlety here.
There's also little forward momentum in the disappearance of Kallie, who appears on one of Goldie's underage porn DVDs, and whose mom doesn't seem overly concerned with her disappearance. Linden's line ("I'm a detective. For homicide.") to Danette is so quietly jarring and serves as the perfect "Welcome back, Linden" moment. After investigating Goldie's house, there's little to connect him to the disappearance of Kallie, but perhaps those DVDs he's peddling might lead our detectives down something approximating the right path. Linden remains a loose cannon as always, and we all know that when Skinner tells her to stop trying to connect the Seward murder to their new serial killer, she's not going to listen — honestly, I can't wait to see how these dots connect, and this season is already proving to be much better than expected. I think it serves the show well that they're unsure whether they'll be picked up for a fourth season, so it keeps the writers and this narrative contained to one season, forcing them to use their time wisely. So far, so good.

9. For measuring static camber, just read the amount on the vial for a manual gauge or the display on a digital gauge. Make sure the car is at ride height with all of the weight in the car including the driver. Air the tires up to operating pressures. These setting may change once the car is raced and the tire temperatures have been evaluated. To measure the cambers as they might be at mid-turn on the racetrack, lower the car to the attitude it would be at on the track. This position is a reflection of camber changes due to chassis dive and roll.

Book Description:
Stripped naked and pursued across cactus-studded plains by a band of armed Blackfoot Indians, John Colter escaped certain death to become the one of the most durable characters in western American history. But Colter's harrowing tale was not beyond the ordinary when compared to the adventures of other American explorers. In The Devil May Care, popular historian and travel writer Tony Horwitz has culled through the American National Biography and selected fifty stirring biographies of adventurers who had no one's footsteps to follow in--and yet contributed enormously to our understanding of the world. Horwitz introduces us to fascinating individuals such as John Ledyard, the first American to see what would become the Pacific Northwest, and Elisha Kent Kane, America's first arctic hero, who stumbled upon an extremely strange remedy for scurvy while icebound off of Ellesmere Island. Having set off into the unknown many times himself as a foreign correspondent, Horwitz brings a subtle sense of humor and a reporter's eye for detail to a collection that offers a glimpse inside the lives of historic Americans who brazenly challenged danger as they pursued their wanderlust to extreme climates and forbidding environments. Beginning with a short essay, Horwitz seeks his own definition of exploration, drawing on some of his research into the voyages of Captain James Cook and considering its larger implications throughout history. Archival photographs as well as a lively and personal introduction to each story by Horwitz further enhance the appeal of a volume that winds its way through several centuries of American exploration, affirming that the best adventure stories are the true ones.

the unofficial tag-team is one of hip-hop's quiet victories over other forms of music. while rock and jazz and r&b is often replete with dual acts like the singer and the drummer, or the keyboard player and the bassist, hip-hop tends to thrive on the power of the individual voice.

The headline sounds good but it is not as exciting as it looks.
The Chiefs announced they have signed ten players. Nine of them you know. The other is Steve Breaston.
From KCChiefs.com
The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Friday that the club has signed eight unrestricted free agents: RB Jackie Battle, WR Steve Breaston, WR Terrance Copper, CB Travis Daniels, S Jon McGraw, T Ryan O'Callaghan, TE Leonard Pope and C Casey Wiegmann. The club also announced that FB Mike Cox signed his restricted free agent tender and S Reshard Langford signed his exclusive rights free agent tender.
Not exactly a thrilling group, is it?
One person of note missing from this list is our old friend Brodie Croyle. This doesn't come as a surprise really but I suppose it is worth nothing. We'll have to do a so long post for him tomorrow. The Coryle era is over…though I am not sure it ever started.
I am going to have to do some research to see what this puts the Chiefs roster at. Keep in mind this doesn't mean they aren't going to make any more free agent signings…it just means they aren't likely to announce them tonight.
The good news? This means the Chiefs are pretty much free to look outside the organization for other free agents. Now that they have most of their own guys under contract, they can turn their attention to upgrading.
The bad news? We are still waiting on CB Brandon Carr, OT Barry Richardson and DE Wallace Gilberry to sign their tender offers. Also, don't forget about Tamba Hali. He was given the franchise tag before the lockout. That will still hold now that there is to be a new CBA, however, the Chiefs are still working on a long term deal with the LB. But as far as I can remember, he hasn't signed the offer yet.

Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
You're lacking in your hacking!
Lamar, get in my office!
What's up, Boss?
Look, you've had enough time! I told you if you want to make it in journalism, you need to hack into some voice messages, and I want to see what you've got. We're on deadline!
I think you'll be pretty happy, Boss. Look at this one. "It's me. Pick up tuna fish and vodka on the way home."
That's not very much to go with, Lamar.
Oh, I've got more, Boss. "This is Mom, why don't you ever call?"
I guess that's a little better. What else?
"I know you're there, I just saw your schnauzer take a dump in my driveway!"
Earn big bucks without knowing anything!
I swear, I don't know why I keep getting suckered by these lame "list" stories. For instance, Ten Jobs that Don't Require a Degree.
Please, let me save you the trouble of reading it. Basically, these are 10 jobs that may not require a college degree, but to get them you have to take really crappy entry-level jobs and work your way up, if you live long enough.
Giving us the creeps?
Blog Guy, last week you wrote about an opinion poll naming Casey Anthony the "most hated person in America."
You said of the people who had heard of her, 94 percent didn't like her. But you also said that 57 percent found her creepy. Was that a different poll?
Eat it off the stick, Rick!
Blog Guy, when Michele Bachmann came out ahead in that Iowa straw poll thing you did a pithy analysis attributing the success to eating a corn dog in public. So where does that leave the newest candidate, Texas Governor Rick Perry, who didn't compete in the Iowa event? Is he home free?
Hardly. He had to race to Iowa yesterday for some serious catch-up.
Heh, heh, heh. You mean Ketchup?
Stop punning with my punditry. The fact remains, no candidate has ever not won the nomination without not eating an Iowa State Fair corn dog.
Honey, I'm on my way!
Blog Guy, you know that place in Siberia you say is the goofiest place on earth? I think you call it Wackytown, and you organize tours there.
Sure. Krasnoyarsk. There's no other place like it. You should come with us. What are you looking for?
Von Trapped with no way out?
What's wrong, Blog Guy? You look very frightened and upset.
I am. A neighbor told me about an event involving Nazis and dog bites and bee stings and…and…maybe yodeling.
That sounds vicious. What is this thing?
You know that 1965 Julie Andrews movie, "The Sound of Music," about a woman who works for a naval officer in a land-locked country as the governess for his hundreds of obnoxious children?
Michele Bachmann, the wurst winner ever?
"I am Ioway born and bred, and on Ioway corn I'm fed…" **
Hey Blog Guy, so Michele Bachmann won that Iowa thing. What do you think swung it her way?
Cheese it! It's Wonder Woman!
Blog Guy, you have a lot of inside info on politics and I'm hoping you can clear something up for me. I've heard that Sarah Palin may actually be Wonder Woman.
Whoa! You may be on to something there, Ace.
It all fits! Palin rides a motorcycle, just like the real Wonder Woman, and she always travels with her faithful calf, Shep, and her wise-cracking sidekick, Todd….
Politicians and their pork…
Blog Guy, can you settle a bet I have with my bartender's pedicurist?
More bets between random unlikely professions, huh? What is it this time?
That Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney. Has he ever seen a porkchop?
You know, I don't think so. In these photos from the Iowa State Fair he's eating a grilled porkchop on a stick, and it looks for all the world like he's about one bite away from chewing the napkin.
The folks you love to hate?
Blog Guy, you haven't written about any new signs of that onrushing Apocalypse recently. Is it safe to come out of the panic room?
No, you just stay put in there. An actual opinion poll informs us that Casey Anthony is now "the most hated person in America."

Word 2002 working but showing as not installed!
I have Word 2002 installed on Windows 7 Pro x64, it is not part of an Office installation but part of Works Suite 2005 although it was the only program that I installed from it. It has been fully updated and has had various compatibility packs and plugins installed.
If I open the program from a shortcut it works perfectly opening, editing, saving, documents.
What I cannot do is open .doc files by clicking on them even though Word is shown as the default program.
If I try to get any further I get 'This action is only valid for programs that are currently installed'.
This appears if I click on 'Open' from a files context menu, if I click on 'Open with' it shows only Word and if I click on that I get the same message. I also get the message if I click on 'Help - Detect and Repair' within the main program window.
Programs and Features shows neither Word nor Works. Microsoft Word 2002 is showing in Advanced Uninstaller Pro.
Reinstalling is not at this point an option and in any event, as I have said, everything within the program itself works with the exception of the Detect and Repair option.
My reason for posting is because I am wondering if there is any way to get the OS to recognise the program by editing the registry, at least as far as the .doc file extension goes. I have checked a couple of keys that I know about and although I have nothing to compare it with they seem to be correct. It is possible that some keys might actually be missing but I have no way of knowing.

Thanks for the reply.
I had already done a lot of reading before I posted but nothing I read mentioned the specific issue I am having.
Given some of the things I did read the issue I am having is minor compared to the problems other people have had.
If I am right the problem is related to the file association settings in the registry and if I could find someone who has the program actually working with Windows 7 in that respect and compare their settings to mine I might be able to sort it out.

It seems DC just isn't done pissing me off today! I was, perhaps naively, really looking forward to the alternative possibilities the announced DC Relaunch provided and being able to regularly pick up issues as and when they're released - which admittedly is something new to me because I only really started exploring the world of comics over the past couple of years and admittedly download, read and store, a lot more graphic novels and comic series on my laptop (although in the future I intend to do my damndest to actually own a lot of these in print).
Now I know how pissed I am that the people I love, fictional as they may be, are being fucked with and altered to their detriment but I feel heartsick for long-term fans who're disappointed with the peeks at what is yet to come. Earlier today I checked out a whole bunch of the Relaunch Costume Redesigns via a ComicsAlliance.com Group Discussion Article (link). I agreed with a whole lot of the groups commentary because they mimic a lot of my own opinions on the outfits; as I believe, not only do the changes not really reflect the base personalities of the characters as we know them but there also seem to be fundamental issues with the overall look of the outfits.
I think I was most pissed off about what I like to call 'the new and far removed, slutty Harley' but then I suppose this quoted information featured in the Bleeding Cool DC Roadshow Article (link) explains it all…
The target audience are men age 18 to 34 though they do realize that they have readers in other demographics.
So… if they realise it, what's their excuse for blatantly shutting the rest of us out? they're going to openly admit to focusing their attentions on what is an implied preferred audience and to hell with the rest; girls, it just seems like we're not even worth considering *sighs* I just can't even….
Ignoring my bias interest, I can honestly say that is a shitty business decision; you know there are additional fans out there who want your products, who have parted with their hard earned cash to purchase said products in the past and in doing so have basically aided in financially supporting this here relaunch but instead of adapting what appears to be a narrow-focused nay socially outdated marketing direction, you've opted to alienate anyone outside of that demographic by basically saying they're not important enough to even consider when decision making.
Well fuck you DC, you can suck my dick!
P.S. Don't even get me started on how closed-off and inconsiderate the video games industry can also be. Seriously, what are we girls? chopped liver? I think not! *kicks a door down* [I don't know why, it just seemed appropriate]
I generally only reblog the odd piece of genius and this post qualifies by miles; I completely identify with this, in so far as I was loudly aiming commentary toward my netbook in response. I don't want compromise, I don't want to be 'niche', I want access to the same clothes, in the same quantities, without a special fucking sign; screw you high street and your fat body quarantine. Are we're supposed to be so grateful they even bother about us, that they bother to provide any sort of fashion for the larger sized person, that we can't ask for more? are we not entitled to ask for the full normalised shopping experience? or is that just pushing our luck.
When I was a teenager, I was a real tomboy. Jeans, hoodies, over sized t-shirts, my closet was littered with all of this. I shopped in the mens section of every clothing shop my mother took me to and on some occasions even found myself wishing I was a boy. Boys had it easy, at least when it came to shopping for clothes…

Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Marathon 2007Race: P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Marathon
Clock Time: 4:20:22
Chip Time: 4:20:02
After almost a year of preparation, effort and worry raceday finally arrived. The good news - I was able to finish my first marathon. The bad news? It was a complete and total disaster.
My hope had been to at least get in spitting distance of the Boston Marathon qualifying time for my age group of 3 hours 15 minutes. I came in almost a full hour behind that at 4 hours 20 minutes and change.
The mile splits tell the story. I stuck with the pace group starting out which had me reeling in 7:20 min/mile for the first six miles or so. I got to the halfway point at 1 hour 41 minutes which put me at a 7:44 min/mile. By the 20 mile marker, which I crossed at 2 hours 55 minutes, that had slid to 8:46 min per mile. The final tally was 9:55 min per mile.
So what happened? I guess it was a perfect storm of bad luck and bad decisions. To figure it out it would probably be best to start at the beginning.
The Prelude
I spent the night before the race at my sister's house with her and my cousin Erin who were running the half marathon. We watched a few of the battle scenes from The Lord of the Rings to get psyched a bit then went to bed.
Things started off Sunday rather well. I slept soundly. My sister got me up at 4:30 a.m. and we were on the road by 5 a.m. or so. A friend of my sister's and his girlfriend came with us (he also ran the half marathon).
Now the weather last week here in Arizona was perfect. Cool bright mornings. You couldn't ask for better race conditions. Of course that didn't last. Over the last three days a cold front moved through and the temperatures bottomed out to 28 degrees for the start of the race.
We bundled up in throwaway clothes but arriving at the race site and stepping out of the car was brutal. My sister parked at the structure near the finish line but when we got there it was almost empty. I guess folks seemed to have waited a bit before heading out into the icy chill of the morning.
The buses they were shuttling us to the race start were heated so we hopped in and were OK. At the race start I grabbed a bagel to chew on. I had eaten two Clif Bars earlier and drank sparingly. I felt nervous but ready.
I found my corral - disturbingly close to the starting line - and we stood there for half-an-hour or so trying to ignore how cold we were. I waited until they started the elite racers at 7:30 a.m. and then got in the corral and shucked off my extra shirt, sweatpants and light coat. I kept my chullo and gloves on, of course.
The Arizona Road Racers pace guy for the 3:10 marathon was there and I set myself up about 30 feet behind him and waited for the gun. Of course we had to listen to the Phoenix mayor blather for about five minutes and hear the Star Spangled Banner (again, where was the flag, guys?) but they finally set us on our way at 7:40 a.m. sharp.
The Race
The start was chilly to the extreme but the adrenaline rush of getting going was enough to push through that. I felt very good going out. The pace was reasonable and the pack wasn't overly crowded even though officials said the total number of runners in the marathon was more than 10,000.
People were really cool in this one - none of the ego warriors pushing through the pack.
From the very start there were folks on the sides of the route cheering us on, heavily bundled up, of course. That these guys would come out in the cold to root for someone and give a cheer to all of us was really inspiring.
A pack of Jesus freaks were also on the start of the route with these gigantic signs admonishing us that we are bound for hell. I turned to the guy next to me and said, "At least we will be warm again."
The first five miles, a straight shot up Seventh Avenue, went relatively well. I felt pretty strong. I had a good pace and I felt in control. None of the injury issues that had caused me so much worry put in an appearance so I was starting to feel relieved. I actually allowed myself to enjoy the race a little.
The bands, which are such a big selling point for the race, were nothing special but it was nice to hear the music and know you were nearing another mile marker.
Just before mile five I passed what turned out to be the best band on the course, Steelin' The Night Away. They are an all female calypso steel drum band who were playing surf tunes. Great stuff. I was glad to pass them early enough to enjoy them a bit.
The exertion had overcome the cold by that point and when we turned East on Missouri Avenue there was even a bit of sun to warm us up a tad. Overall, I felt pretty good about my performance and my prospects for the race.
So, of course, everything started to fall apart.
The Agony Begins
It began when I started to notice that the pace guy was pulling away from me. At first this was because he didn't stop to drink and I would have to pick it up a bit to catch him after the water stations. But, at about mile six or seven I couldn't seem to get closer to that bobbing green number at the top of the stick.
Which was not good.
Then my ass began to hurt. And it wasn't a minor thing. It was a low thrumming ache that followed the gluteus maximus around the hip. It was not pleasant at all. I shortened my stride and tried to push through the ache like I would do with any pain that develops during a race but, instead of easing off, it started to spread.
Of course now I'm starting to get passed by folks. Not just a few people who were hitting their stride after starting at the back of the corral, pretty much everyone was going by me. I became the rock in the middle of the stream with every runner in the race flowing right on by as my stride began getting shorter and slower.
By mile eight it was clear none of this was going to get better and I was in serious trouble. Of course by that point there wasn't a hell of a lot I could do about it either. So I tried setting a reasonable pace given my situation. I was close enough to the half-marathon point that I let myself get tunnel vision and simply focus on that.
I gave up on Boston when the 3:20 pace group passed me and it became clear my race was deteriorating rapidly. The only thing that kept that from hurting as much as it should was the physical pain I was wrestling with.
The steady ache had, by now, spread across my hips and upper legs. Every so often my soleus or my calf would give a minor twinge but these were the regular muscle issues you get in a race. The hip crisis was an entirely different animal. I could feel every step throughout my lower body and I yearned to get off the hard road and onto a more forgiving surface.
Finally, the building I had scouted as the halfway mark came into view and I felt a weird feeling of relief mixed with total and complete despair. I had run as hard as I could under the worst conditions imaginable and I was only halfway through the thing.
(Quick aside: While it was nice having folks cheering on the sides of the road, yelling out incorrect miles to go is neither original or helpful. Although I did get a chuckle at the guy that yelled "Just 11 more crappy bands to go!")
Pain, Pain and More Pain
From that point on the race was one long interminable torture - an unending agony where every moment seemed completely unendurable except for the knowledge that the moment to come would be worse.
I saw one of the elite racers walking off the course at around the 14-mile mark. He was wrapped in a towel and had a look of pain and anguish on his face (I later found out he was felled by a stomach virus). I completely understood how he felt.
Of course, just when I thought things could get no worse, the race threw another little agony at me to endure. Bathroom breaks.
I don't know if it was because of my slowing pace or the crappy energy drink they chose or what but I had to go to the bathroom pretty bad after passing the halfway point. I finally saw a port-a-potty and hopped off the course to use it.
To stop - to stand still - was bliss. I could barely use the bathroom it felt so so good. And I knew it would cost me. I can still see that plastic handle and feel the amount of will it took to open it again knowing what lay behind that door.
I got out and started trying to run and it was as if my hips and quads were being hit by sledgehammers. I hobbled for a few yards and got to where I could limp along and, after about 50 meters I was "running" again.
And it wasn't getting any better at all. By mile 16 I was at the end of my rope, every step was the last ounce of my ability... and then, somehow, I was putting the next foot forward. The entire race had become reduced to simply putting one foot in front of the other.
But, it turns out, I actually had a decent race up to about the 16 mile mark. It wasn't a stellar time but would have put me in the 3:30 to 3:40 range. Yet, I knew it was completely over. I was shot and everything else would simply be survival.
Just Let it End
Everything beyond about mile 16 was a blur of exquisite pain and anguish. I used every mental trick I could to force my next foot forward and somehow I did it. The problem was that now I was starting to pay for my fast start.
I clearly had been on too fast a pace those first few miles and my glycogen reserves had plummeted. The gels I consumed weren't enough to help and as I got in the 20 mile range what little strength I had started to evaporate.
Despite that, I don't think I hit the fabled "wall." When I figured out I was in trouble I started doing what little I could with my pace and caloritic intake to keep that particular horror at bay. But the effort to take each step became Herculean in addition to the pain.
And now I had to force myself to stop counting miles and time. If I gave myself the luxury of enjoying the fact there were 6 miles left to go it was also inescapable that I had at least an hour left to endure of this hell as well. (Hey! Maybe those guys at the start of the race were right!)
Of course, after going to the bathroom once, I now found I had to do so twice more. Each time starting up again was more excruciating than the last. I would pass medical tents with runners lying inside and could only think how good it would feel to lie down and let the pain stop.
I also almost stopped to walk on two occasions but, somehow, picked my step back up just as I began to let myself drop into it. I don't know how I accomplished that.
At this point the only motivation that seemed to have any effectiveness were the two "finisher" shirts I bought at the expo. Earning the right to wear them was all that seemed to help push through the pain.
Moreover I knew there was one last horror left to overcome. When my sister and I scouted the course I could tell the long incline for the bridge over the Salt River was going to be a bitch. And it was. A long excruiating hill that never seemed to end. Reaching the top of the bridge and looking across the lake to glimpse the finish area more than two miles away was no relief for me at all.
Every step of the last four miles was an effort of unimaginable proportions. And even that became exponentially worse over the last two miles. I considered giving up each and every step. I was beyond even mental games and trickery and motivation and all of it.
The only thing left in the world was pain. And all I wanted was for it to end.
The Finish Line
One guy with a cramp in his left leg was limping to his finish in front of me. I sympathized completely. My cousin yelled at me from the crowd but I was too exhausted to wave back.
I crossed the finish line and slowed to a walk and had to compose myself to keep from crying. I'm not sure if that was because of the emotion of finishing or the sheer relief of the pain being at an end but it took me a few seconds to get ahold of myself enough to start hobbling over to the exit area.
The pain in my quads and hips and groin was excruciating. I could barely walk but I knew I had to because simply stopping was dangerous. The guy who cut off the timing chip from my shoe had to lift my leg up onto the short metal bar for me. There was a queue for getting your post race photo taken. I skipped it.
I stopped at the medical tent and got some ibuprofen. I didn't expect it to help tons but I was hoping it would work enough to get me home. I could barely think clearly enough to answer their questions. The volunteers were real nice folks. Very supportive. I never appreciated it more and was less able to thank them.
Standing in the line for the food was pretty bad. I couldn't move along but standing still was not a good idea. Twice when the line started moving forward I couldn't support myself and I almost fell over onto the guy next to me.
I made it out of the section clutching a banana and some cheap sandals they gave us and the plastic blanket thing they give you to stay warm. I had to walk around the speed bumps in the parking lot because I couldn't walk over them.
My aunt and uncle were there in the family area with my sister and cousin. They said we would just go to the car and leave given the shape I was in. I just nodded and tried to keep moving. Lifting my legs, to get over the curb and into the car, was terrible to experience. I just wanted to get home and lie in bed and let this disaster of a race be over.
The Aftermath
Needless to say, I'm not very happy with my performance. I worked too long and too hard to have such a terrible result. I clearly have put in too much effort over the past year for coming in more than a full hour behind my target time and in such a crippled condition.
So what went wrong? Well, the primary problem was the pain that started in my hips and upper quads. My theory is that the efforts over the past two weeks to handle my nagging psoas injury backfired on raceday.
The psoas itself was no more of an issue than anything else when the going started to get critically bad so it seems clear our efforts with it worked. But all the effort to work on the other muscles ended up being a mistake.
Not running in two weeks probably didn't help my attempt but I don't think the layoff itself was the key issue. The problem was having these muscles tenderized and then not working them at all prior to the race. So basically I was asking them to go from nothing to the most stressful conditions imaginable - that's just too much to expect the body to cope with.
Then there was the pacing screw up. I clearly didn't have a good perspective on my condition and going out with a 7:20 min/mile pace set me up for serious problems later on. Instead, I should have gone out with at most an 8 min/mile pace or slower. The bottom line is I refused to accept my inexperience with the marathon was going to be an issue and I paid for it.
I don't know where this leaves me for the future. I'm not going to let this experience keep me from still trying to reach my goal of qualifying for Boston. It is obvious I will probably never hurt to this extreme or perform this badly in the future. But it is also obvious that I need to reassess my training and how I intend to achieve my goals.
Having fallen so far short of what I wanted to accomplish is really a crushing blow. In some ways the physical pain I am in is easier to deal with that that. But the one victory - and possibly the most important victory here - was that out of the 10,224 folks who registered to run this race, I was one of the 8,127 people that finished. And I finished under the absolutely worst conditions possible.
I don't know how I didn't give in to the very reasonable need to stop and cease the agony I endured. I don't know where I drug up the strength of will to keep running after I had pushed through every threshold of pain I possessed.
Yet, somehow, I did. I ran 26.2 miles. I am, now, a marathoner. And that's where the next stage of this journey will begin.

First off, congratulations, you are now a marathoner, a fairly elite group. Trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon on your first try is a very lofty goal, you did well to finish, although your time was not what you exoected, you really should be proud. As a first timer watching a marathon what struck me was the will of everyone crossing that finish line, I really could have stayed and watched the last person cross, it's not about the time, but having the will (and stamina) to finish. Good job mate, you'll make the Boston Marathon in time, take the time to pat yourself on the back........a few times.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and posting a comment. Congratulations on finishing your first marathon. From reading your report, I know the end result wasn't what you wanted, but just finishing is a tremendous accomplishment. Keep pressing on toward your goals. You'll make it, and I intend to stop by your blog and check up on your progress.

I thoroughly enjoyed yoru re-cap of your marathon experience! And thanks for the words of encouragement. I'll check back in with you after my run in June. I can't help bt echo the comments of others - don't lose sight of what you did accomplish - it just looked a little different that you expected. Good luck on your next marathon!
|comment posted by: john on january 18, 2007 @ 4:24 pm
Congrats on finishing. Thanks for the words of encouragement on my blog as well. This is your first, the next one you will know more about how your body acts under that kind of stress and you can plan better. I'm not going to say that every time it gets easier because it doesn't. However each time you figure out something better to do to keep going. 4-5 hours of running is not something that is easy for anyone. Keep tri'ing
|comment posted by: rdt on january 19, 2007 @ 2:18 am
Congrats for your run. I can tell you that you did an excellent job and I am sure you will make it fr Boston next time. I met people who went from 4:30 first time to 3:30 in their second one. You just started to strong.My friends were running 10 min pace and arrived in 4:30!!! Meaning, if you had started with that pace, you had passed flying the last miles and you will be under 4:00 h for sure (based on what you are telling us). GOOD LUCK on your nex marth . I had the same feeling of disappointment but not everybody would arrived dying like us.

Are you kidding? This was not a disaster, it was a victory. The fact that your wrestled with the pain makes it an even more honorable victory. You were great. Marathon running is in essence a sport of endurance, and endurance is what you manifested.
|comment posted by: Wilmer on january 22, 2007 @ 11:19 pm
Thank you for your word of encouragement on your blog. You were right; our first marathon stories are very similar. The last comment was right; the fact that we finished is a victory in itself, despite falling short of our goals. Now it's just a matter of building upon our experience. I will keep tracking your progresss; let's hope that we both learn from and avoid the same mistakes on our first performances!

What an accomplishment! I really hope you are proud of yourself. Not many people can say they have finished a marathon, but you did it!. I also ran the marathon, my first. My primary goal was to finish under 5:30, which I did. Again, great job! Keep Running.........
|comment posted by: Kim on january 24, 2009 @ 12:26 pm
I just ran the Phoenix marathon this past Sunday. It was my first one. I trained for months, here in LA - expecting to do well on this "flat course". Your words here are so validating. Thank you! Now I don't feel like a complete failure! I had hoped to finish at 4:20 or anything close to 4:00. I finished at 4:46. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Several people have mentioned a heat factor with memory foam. It is true that some brands of the quality memory foam do run warmer than others however that is eliminated or mitigated satisfactorily with the proper cotton sheets or topper cover.
He is not comparing now and then. He is seeing name changes with no difference. It is similar to the way some items have one part number for one retailer, say 123456789T. and have have a different part number for another retailer, say 123456789W. The first one is for Target, the second one is for WalMart. Technically identical, but due to the different letter in the last position it is declared that you cannot price match or compare because the have different model numbers. Mattress manufacturers have been doing this for decades. Meaningless different names for technically the same mattress. In some cases they will change the color of the outer fabric, but all other aspects of the mattress are identical. In other cases the pattern of the outer fabric changes, the color stays the same, and the the rest of the mattress is identical. A third way is to change both the pattern and color, but keep the rest identical. That way retailers get a unique model name that they do not have to price match.
I am pretty happy with the serta iComfort.»www.serta.com/icomfort-mattress-···rta.html120 day in home trial... 25 year warranty.
First choice = Tempurpedic
I've never felt abnormally warm on our Tempurpedic. We use reasonable cotton sheets, but nothings expensive.
When looking for a new bed last summer I made the mistake of laying on a TempurPedic Cloud Supreme. Every other other bed I laid on afterwards felt like crap, even other TempurPedics (which where either too hard- the original Cloud or too soft- the Luxe). I spent a good two weeks going around to different stores trying out every bed in the house and always kept going back to the Cloud Supreme. There was one other comparable gel based foam mattress called the iComfort or something but it cost more than even the Cloud Supreme at 3k! I tried and tried to find something as good for cheaper but nothing felt nearly as good to me and couldn't get the Cloud Supreme out of my head so I forked out for it. It hasn't sagged one bit and warranty is something like 20 years.Word or warning though, they stink and emit a toxic chemical smelling fume when brand new. I couldn't even sleep on mine for the first couple weeks until it started to air out. I was almost going to return it was so bad. It took about three months for its smell to 100% go away. They should air these things out at the factory IMO because for the price you shouldn't have to put up with the air out time IMO. Also, they market some dual air channels or something in it to help with the claims that foam sleeps hot so I think that's the older generations that sleep hot. I have no problem with sleeping hot which was a concern to me. The initial off gassing was a definite problem though.
When I bought mine, they warned me about the smell, it only lasted a few days for me...The reason for the smell though is that the mattress is manufactured in the factory, goes straight on the truck and into your home, there is no "stock" of them waiting in some warehouse, so your mattress is EXCEEDINGLY brand new. Something like a few days old, tops...
Stop buying a matress at walmart and buy a real one.
I found some interesting reading here: »www.themattressunderground.com/--_Jed_
Walmart doesn't sell $1700 mattresses.
This is a bit tongue in cheek but it's accurate. Buy an 8 lb density memory foam, one or two inch and sleep on the floor or a bed platform, You will never have the problem that is causing your current pique.Regardless I'm sorry that you are having a negative sleep experience.I too am having an ongoing deteriorating problem too linked to orthopedic disabilities and a degrading mattress.--The signal is usually drowned out by the noise.
don't buy into the tempur-pedic bullshit.the mattresses dent worse than any other i have seen, and i only weigh 165. i had to have it replaced under warranty twice. my foundation is ROCK solid, so i know it's not because of that.they are hotter than hell in summer, and don't have any "memory" when it's warm out. in colder weather, it's like sleeping on a block of ice in both temperature and feel.also, my wife had an allergic reaction to the chemicals they use to manufacture the foam (owners: remember the smell when they delivered it?). they wouldn't give us a refund for the mattress until my wife signed a form stating she would never mention anything about the allergic reaction to anyone, and that she promised not to sue tempur-pedic. read all about people having horrible reactions to them on the 'net---it's all over the place.
After spending a fortune on all kinds of mattresses (including Sleep Comfort), I finally broke down and bought the Tempurpedic. Best thing I ever did. I did pay through the nose (bought the top of the line including recline and massager) but boy is it good!
I dont think there are any!!!!! -- ALL THEY SELL ARE THESE CHEAP FOAM PIECES OF CRAP NOW!!
Me too. Going on 5 months... wife and I are around 500lbs. (not each)
I will add our waterbed was a full wave, I never liked the wave-less models. I liked getting into a warm bed on cold nights and there are no pressure points, if you add enough water you don't have all that crazy wave action and you are not bothered if your sleep partner moves.
Our mattress is about 7 years old and it is still fine, it cost about $500 at the time and is a "pillow top", we used to have a waterbed but the cost of electric to keep it warm and replacing the mattress every few years(we have cats) was getting a bit expensive, I figure the bed paid itself off in less than two years.

The Daily Telegraph seems to have been spun by the Bible Society's thinktank Theos [1] today, who appear to have rehashed some old survey data [2] as 'new' when is was actually published last month. Alternatively it may just be poor reporting by the Telegraph, but Theos have form on this.
The newspaper reports today [3] in a news item by Matthew Moore: "Nearly a third of people believe that religious freedoms have been restricted in this country over the past decade, a new survey shows".
Actually the Comres survey results were published almost a month ago.
The question put was actually: "Do you agree or disagree with each of the following statement?" (sic) "'Religious freedoms have been restricted in Britain over the past 10 years'"
The survey in fact found that almost double the number (59 per cent) disagreed, rather than agreed with the statement that religious freedoms had been restricted. Amongst Christians the disagreement was even actually slightly higher (60 per cent).
Another interesting finding (and this was actually a very interesting bit of work by Theos) was that almost exactly the same percentage of people who felt their freedoms had been restricted (32 per cent), agreed with the statement: "The law should prevent people from expressing their religious views in the workplace" (31 per cent). Again more Christians (33 per cent) agreed that their faith should be restricted in the workplace. Theos have not highlighted these findings.
But this is not the first time that this survey has been spun.
In the original press release, Theos stated that the survey suggested: "Voters with a religious faith could determine the outcome of the general election". It was a line lapped up by many in the media, including the BBC's Sunday Programme and some religious correspondents on the nationals.
What the survey actually showed was pretty much the opposite - that religious people vote in pretty much the same way as everyone else. We covered it here: http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/11317 [4]

BigCouch: Java Map-Reduce with CouchDB
Feels like a conspiracy to have the 3rd Java related post today, but the one from Cloudant is quite big:
Today we are releasing the Java Language Map-Reduce View Interface for Cloudant's Hosted CouchDB service. This interface defines the protocol for writing Map-Reduce views in Java that can be run on our hosted CouchDB platform. […] The Java view server works differently than a standard CouchDB view server. The design document does not contain code. Instead, the design document specifies which class should be called for the Map and Reduce steps. The code (a jar) is attached to the design document in the form of a binary attachment. This jar contains both user defined classes and external libraries that are needed. This paradigm (libraries as binary attachments) is a non-standard extension of the CouchDB view server API.
Bringing the most popular VM and all the languages supported on it to CouchDB is definitely a very smart move.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Prior to my daughter's entry into Kanoheda, I was concerned she would not get the best education based on the school's rating on this and other sites. Weighing my options, I made an appointment to be given a tour of the school and meet key staff. Everyone welcomed my interest, and I was really impressed by the school's data showing student achievement. Title I monies allowed for additional resources to support classroom instruction. I observed a clean, orderly school with happy teachers and students. I decided to give the school a try, and I haven't not regreted one day of the nearly three years my daughter has been in attendance. The school has routinely gone above and beyond to meet the academic needs of my gifted student. She loves her school. I routinely volunteer in the school, and I know that these folks do amazing things for their students coming from challenging socioeconomic conditions. Thus, the ongoing deficit of parental involvement. Before judging the value of a school for your child, make sure you fully check into it.
I moved to Georgia last summer and I was afraid, not knowing the schools well. My son did very well at Kanoheda. A few minor problems with kids cursing and borthering him. Overall, i kept in great communication w/the AP and teacher and he now going to the 5th, not at Kanaheda, but I hope Grayson ES offers good caring and attentive Teachers.
I moved to Georgia last summer and I have four children in Kanoheda and we are very happy with all of the staff. Im only sad next year they have to attend a different school for zoning reasons.
I feel the Teachers at Kanoheda has been a tremendous help in the advancement of my children. They should be commended for the work they do with these children. Even though the school is majority spanish, my children still get all the attention they need.
The quality of academic programs has been great for the two years my daughter has been there I can only speck for those years. The music, art and sports and other extracurricular has been great as well for her grade level. The parent involvement well if you work and a single parent you miss out on a lot because everything is in the morning while I'm working but if they need me to send things to school I am able to do that at 100% but I would like to be physical involve sometime as well.
Kanoheda needs to replace the current principal, in order to become successful. There is massive teacher turn-over (for the past 4 years, since she came) only because of the current principal. Kanoheda needs to retain those great, caring teachers and get rid of the current principal. Keep the great teachers and create a wonderful school environment with quality teachers.
I had two children to attend Kanoheda and I was extremely pleased with the level of education at this school. The teachers are pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. The overall staff really supports student academic and social progress. The principal is excellent.
it seems as though the authorities are do not take parental concerns very seriously or sensitively according to the situation.I would not recommend this school to anyone who is truly concerned about their child's learning or well being.
Also, the Parent Center is headed by one of the most fabulous, gifted, caring, dedicated and knowledgeable former teachers you'll ever meet. The woman headed this center is a truly a gift to all parents.
I am a former paraprfessional from the school and I have a child who attended from K-5 grade. Kanoheda is a great school with a great principal and wonderful teachers who love and care for the well being of all the students.
Kanoheda is a school on the cusp of change. It's population is changing and the school must grow to meet its needs. IT is facing many challenges. A strong PTA helps combat these problems.
I am also a member of the schools PTA. We all work together for the goodness of the children.
I belive that the ESOL students are the #1 priority at this school. The average student who might need a little extra help seem to be neglected.

Yesterday it was announced that the New England Patriots and Dr. Thomas Gill, their team doctor, had decided to part ways. The Boston Globe's Ben Volin has the story:
The Patriots announced Thursday that they have parted with longtime medical director Thomas Gill after he stepped down from his post as chief of sports medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital.
The team said in a statement that Gill will focus on his private practice, and will be replaced by Dr. Matt Provencher as the chief of sports medicine and the Patriots' medical director, as part of the team's relationship with MGH.
Gill was involved in a few "controversies" while he was in New England, with the most prominent one being the surgery performed on Rob Gronkowski's arm.
Here is the full statement released by the team:
"We greatly appreciate the many years of dedicated service and innovation that Dr. Gill provided our team and wish him well in the future. We will continue to work with MGH Sports Medicine to provide our medical services and look forward to receiving the level of care and expertise that MGH has been providing the New England Patriots since our team's inception."

After what seems like months of ice, snow and doom, we had a beautiful springlike Saturday here in Pittsburgh. Most of the snow had melted and the sky was this crazy color that I think I heard people calling "blue"? So, of course we spent he afternoon in the cemetery. And it felt incredible to have the sun hit my face and not the usual 80 pounds of knitted winter protection that's been wrapped around it lately.
I took a ton of pictures in the cemetery that day, because: SUN. Considering the next day was back to being devoid of color, it was nice to go back through my phone and
cry smile at the memories.
Not-Snow Boots!
"I'm going to stick this pinecone in daddy's buttcrack." Seriously, why does Henry even let any of us walk behind him?
There wasn't much snow left on the ground, but never fear—Chooch found enough of it to terrorize us with.
"Don't worry," Killjoy Henry responded sarcastically to our constant gushings of how nice it was that day. "It's supposed to snow tomorrow."
"I know, and that's sad," Chooch sighed. "That's just sad."
Spent the rest of the weekend painting, re-watching "Twin Peaks" and crying over Team USA hockey. It didn't snow on Sunday like Weatherman Hank predicted, but it was still dreary and 50 Shades of Pittsburgh Gray, which is pretty much just as shitty. How was your weekend!?!
Henry, walking alone after Chooch and I got distracted by a mausoleum with a busted-out window.No tags for this post.

We might have lost, but here's something to be proud of... (self.ducks)
submitted 1 year ago by christes
Rick Pitino (coach of Louisville) owns the Sweet 16. This was his 11th time there. His record in the Sweet 16 after tonight is 11-0, so it really isn't all that suprising.
However, there is something to be proud of. Tonight was the smallest margin-of-victory of any of those 11 games. We gave them a good fight.
[–]tfizzle 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
and that's even after getting down 16 points. It felt like we did that a bagillion times, then got it back to 8 and then to 16. Then back to 8 and then to 16. bleh. Louisville is just that good.

How to Make Your Mid-life Dynamite
- Monday, August 13, 2012
On Bill's side of the equation, that crisis could have set off a midlife melt-down for him. But instead, because he had prepared well for the midlife transition, he took his accumulated wisdom and vast array of experiences and has penned 10 Best Decisions a Man Can Make, and produced, directed and filmed a premarital curriculum. Bill also writes for Lifeway's midlife magazine, MORE Living and took over www.midlife.com where he runs weekly online chatroom sessions to help people caught in the midlife whirlwind. We are now planning the PEAK Living conference (Aug 24-25 in Oceanside, Ca) that will help people look at their own midlife circumstances and harness that "dynamite power" by teaming with God to make choices, lay a plan, and maximize those midlife and beyond years. The choice is yours, just as it was Albert Nobel's—just how do you want to be remembered? We hope it will be for doing dynamite things for God and for good.
Bill and Pam Farrel are international speakers, relationship experts, and authors of over 37 books including best selling Men Are Like Waffles, Women Are Like Spaghetti. You can catch them speaking on these and many more midlife issues at the Peak Living Conference.
