Earlier this year, when Glenn Beck, whose fear-mongering has filled many chalk boards, began fretting about unrest in Egypt, he found himself rebuked by Bill Kristol of The Weekly Standard. "When Glenn Beck rants about the caliphate taking over the Middle East from Morocco to the Philippines, and lists (invents?) the connections between caliphate-promoters and the American left, he brings to mind no one so much as Robert Welch and the John Birch Society," Kristol wrote. "He's marginalizing himself, just as his predecessors did back in the early 1960s."
The same thing can be said for all the Chicken Little Conservatives. Reduced to profiting off ideologically friendly audiences willing to forgive lack of rigor in the assertions of a fellow traveler, they brand themselves as Cassandras, but spend a lot more time flattering those who agree with them than trying to persuade anyone who doesn't.
In so doing, they marginalize themselves:
And even when they tackle a subject worth addressing -- terrorism really is a threat, Islamists really are our enemy, rioting really is destructive of civil society, multiculturalism actually has threatened free speech, European society does suffer serious pathologies -- their effect is too often akin to the boy who cried wolf, so established is their reputation for making up all sorts of outlandish stuff. It's a particular shame with Steyn, who is capable of sound analysis when he aims higher than pandering to Dittoheads. In interview after interview, however, conservatives who don't believe for a second that we're doomed treat his doomsday prophecies with passive credulity.
None of this is to minimize the challenges of our era, or to presume that relative peace and prosperity are our due. One needn't be cavalier about the perils we face, or silent about alarming trends in Europe, or sanguine about America's alarming fiscal situation, to maintain some perspective. Civilization is fragile. It is every generation's job to preserve it. But America is in a far better position than it was in 1776 or 1812 or 1860 or 1941 or 1962 (to pick a particularly dicey moment during the Cold War). And Europe, for all the talk of its dire situation, is on course for a 2014 that's much preferable to its 1914, or its 1939, or its 1950 or 1960 or 1970 or 1980.
As ever, dark clouds ring the horizon.
But this is no time for mourning in America.
Of course, maybe I'm wrong. I can't predict the future, and I'd hate to leave you, dear reader, unprepared for upheavals to come. As a hedge, I sought to find out, "How are the would-be Cassandras preparing?" With the president bent on intentionally destroying the American economy, Rush Limbaugh has launched a new small business. (He's selling Paul-Revere-themed iced tea).
And en route to "Armageddon," with London so far gone it ought to burn, and a grand jihad afoot, how are Mark Steyn, Victor Davis Hanson, John Derbyshire and Andy McCarthy preparing for the end of Western Civilization as we know it? Come November 12, they're all packing their bags and leaving America together ... for an eight day luxury cruise around the Caribbean.

City continued major projects
CARLSBAD -- Carlsbad officials kept a wary eye on Sacramento in 2003 and held a tight rein on costs, passing an $85 million operating budget in June for this fiscal year with virtually no new employees.
But unlike schools, the state's budget deficit had little impact on city finances during the year and thanks to a deep reservoir of reserves built up over years, development fees, government grants and loans, and other income Carlsbad was able to continue to move ahead with a number of major street, park and water projects.
In the fall, the city celebrated the long-awaited opening of the new Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park in east Carlsbad after spending $5 million to renovate and restore the grounds and historic buildings.
The park is centered around many of the old buildings that once served as the headquarters of a sprawling vacation ranch owned by Hollywood movie and television actor Leo Carrillo, probably best known for his role as Pancho in the 1950s TV series, "The Cisco Kid."
Supporters and history buffs said they hope to continue to develop the rustic park, creating a place where people can revisit a time when Southern California was a less populated, quieter place.
The park also includes public hiking and biking paths that will link into a 58-mile, citywide trail system planned to connect almost all Carlsbad neighborhoods.
City park planner Liz Ketabian said with the trails "we are trying to make connections. People like that, and it gives them a chance to enjoy the open spaces."
The city also continued work on a $45 million project to widen and straighten a narrow, twisting section of Rancho Santa Fe Road in southeast Carlsbad to relieve commuters of what now is often a slow, traffic-jammed trip and to help move vehicles across the city from developments in Carlsbad, San Marcos, Vista and Encinitas.
The project "is long overdue," said Councilman Matt Hall. "It's needed not only in the city, but in the region."
The project also includes building two new three-lane bridges across San Marcos Creek.
The work, financed by a combination of development fees and federal grants, is expected to be completed in early 2006.
Work also began on a long-planned, $3.8 million extension of Poinsettia Lane to help give drivers another route from Interstate 5 and the coast to El Camino Real and eventually beyond to Melrose Drive.
The new 1,500-foot stretch of road, which should be completed next year, will fill in a gap between Black Rail Road and Ambrosia Lane.
Barriers to go
Developers are also continuing work on a southward extension of College Boulevard to tie into a new piece of Cannon Road.
Once completed sometime next summer, city officials said, the new road connection will allow them to remove barriers from College at the Oceanside border.
Long a bone of contention between Carlsbad and Oceanside, Carlsbad officials contend that without the new road connection, most traffic from College would dump onto Tamarack Avenue. That would double the number of vehicles, they said, turning Tamarack into a linear parking lot of slow-moving, bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Yummy yummy! Coffee Pu'erh in my tummy! I love this stuff. I drink it every day. I add no sugar or milk. I love strong, bold tea so I often steep it 10 minutes or longer. The only problem is it will go cold before it's ready. It rarely re-steeps well so if I want more out of it, I steep 3-4 mins only and drink half the mug and then re-steep again w/ more hot water. I probably spend about $200/year on this tea alone. I'm a fool for DavidsTea

Fame costs. The contestant application for Fame NBC's newest
reality show even warns against possible exposure to "injury and
death." So we're guessing a few aspiring singer/dancers are about to
start paying!
"Well, you know, I might maim them a little bit in rehearsal. I'm
known to be tough," jokes Debbie Allen, who auditioned hundreds of performers for the 10-week series (debuting tonight at 8 pm/ET.) She'll now coach her 24 hand-picked semi-finalists as they face viewers and celebrity judges including Britney Spears and 'N Sync manager Johnny Wright, who'll usher the winner into a recording studio after the talent search is over.
Just what should the next J.Lo or Justin Timberlake do to woo their cr

Good morning kisses from Ewan McGregor and sisterly advice from Renée Zellweger. After facing her initial fear of a visit from the "acting police," you could say filming the over-the-top, '60s sex romp Down with Love was easy for Sarah Paulson.
But landing her role a book editor whose latest find (Zellweger) encourages women to behave like men definitely wasn't. Because the movie was shot during summer months, when sitcom actors are on hiatus, entire casts of TV shows went in to read for her part. "Anybody that's on any popular show was there," Paulson says. "It just seemed like the most implausible notion that I would get this job, because the list of names was ridiculous."
And then there's

With all signs pointing to Frasier ending after next season, David Hyde Pierce is more careful than ever when it comes to picking movie roles. His rules of thumb: If a character is too Niles Crane, he's not interested. And if a friend offers advice, he's not listening. "You know what the most frequent suggestion is?" he asks. "'You really should play a psychotic serial killer.'"
Luckily, the man who's portrayed the younger Dr. Crane for 10 years understands something they don't. "I can't just leap into something completely different and expect people to buy it," Pierce says. "I have to make that transition gradually, which is what I've been trying to do."
His current role in Down With Love should help. Pierce plays a magazine editor whose star writer (

If there's one thing Ewan McGregor will never be accused of, it's coyness. Asked if he's ever been like his playboy character in the retro sex comedy Down With Love i.e. deceiving a woman in order to seduce her he says: "I'm a man. I've never drugged anyone for a f---. I can quite seriously say that. [But] I've confused them emotionally."
That, however, was a long time ago, so don't expect the married father of two to remember any details. Instead, he offers a few candid quips on Love (which co-stars Renée Zellweger and opens Friday) and his big-screen future (more nudity is likely, but Porno isn't).
On Down With Love, which pays homage to the '60s films of

Renée Zellweger may consider herself somewhat "cinematically ignorant," but it sounds to us like there's at least one actor whose oeuvre she's mastered. "For seven years, I've been going, 'Where's Ewan McGregor? What's Ewan McGregor doing? Is he making this? Is there a girl? What kind of girl? Can we make that happen?" she says, with a laugh. "We've been acquaintances for a long time, but I've been his fan for even longer."
Thank goodness Down with Love, an homage to the comedies of Doris Day and Rock Hudson, finally came along if only for her agent's sake. Zellweger stars as Barbara Novak, an author whose 1962 titular best seller encourages career-minded women to say "no" to lo

Even a senior news analyst, such as The Daily Show's Stephen Colbert, can be confused by recent world events. Like, for instance, NBC deciding not to pick up the pilot he co-wrote with Jon Stewart for its fall schedule. "They said, 'We love it, this is exactly what we want and we're not gonna make it,'" Colbert says. "So it was an entirely pleasurable experience... except for the part about not making it." At least his other recent collaboration, the novel Wigfield (Hyperion), had a happier ending. Co-written with his Strangers with Candy cohorts Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello, Wigfield follows a self-important, first-time author searching for a story in the book's titular town. The satirical tale unfolds through interviews with 20 inspired characters, which the trio currently brings to life in an adapted stage show on their book tour. Here, Colbert plays the quirky role of himself.

No matter where in the world thirtysomething Aussies Simon Morley and David Friend take their stage show Puppetry of the Penis, the reaction is the same: "Shock and awe," Morley says. "I don't think anyone's quite ready to see three-story high male genitalia." Perhaps that's why we waited until they released a performance DVD (now in stores) to witness the "ancient art of genital origami" a craft born in Morley's home, perfected in pubs, and now selling out theaters. Considering Morley can turn his twig and berries into the Hamburger, we figure our Seven Silly Questions are a piece of cake!
TV Guide Online: For future reference, what's the proper amount of drinks to have in my system before seeing your show live?
Simon Morley: Too many. (Laughing) Too many is nice and safe.
TVGO: Have you ever missed a show due to, er, injury?
Morley: No, and I've done about 3,500 now. If there's one thing a man knows how to do f

This is what you call a good week for comedian Jeffrey Ross. Yesterday, he wrapped the pilot for the WB's new Gong Show. "Everywhere I go, my mechanic is a contortionist, and my doorman wants to do his Dustin Hoffman impression," he cracks. "This is what made Chuck Barris move to France!" And tonight, he plays a cocky comic who drops dead on CSI (9 pm/ET): "I've died many times onstage," he says, "but never where I actually had to go head first into the floor." Lucky for us, Ross lived to face another heckler.TV Guide Online: Gilbert Gottfried and Bobcat Goldthwait also guest star on tonight's CSI. Why were you the most qualified to play the corpse?
Jeffrey Ross: They didn't have to use makeup for me. (Laughing) To be honest with you, I had nightmares because I played a headliner in Vegas, and they used my real headshot. I kind of saw my own death for the whole week of filming.

When Jeff Richards got the call to audition for Saturday Night Live, he was shaken. Literally. The comic had just been in a car accident driving from Los Angeles to San Diego for another standup gig. "I was surprised I didn't crash again," he admits. These days, however, life for the man behind Drunk Girl (an overly intoxicated co-ed) and Baby K (an 18-month-old rapper), is looking far less bumpy. Even our Seven Silly Questions couldn't slow him down.
TV Guide Online: Our offices are literally two blocks apart. Why are we doing this interview over the phone?
Jeff Richards: That's a question? Oh, 'cause that's how you're asking me out, in a really weird way...
TVGO: You got me. You grew up in California and went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. That's a tough school to get into. You must be pretty smart, eh?

Less than two months after 9/11, South Park gave us an episode titled "Osama bin Laden Has Farty Pants." Now, the toon takes on the U.S.-Iraqi war. To help plot tonight's 100th episode airing 10 pm/ET on Comedy Central co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone called in heavy reinforcements. Namely, their idol-turned-fan Norman Lear.
The 80-year-old's passion for inspiring youth to civic activism fueled what Parker modestly refers to as a "very somewhat special episode" of the series. Tune in, and you'll find everyone's favorite fourth graders joining in anti-war protests because they believe in, well, cutting class. Their pro-war teacher Mr. Garrison strikes

Nokia's Cost-Cutting Looks Good Only on Paper
Unfortunately, Lumia's shine was not enough to stop the bleeding in Nokia's smartphone business, which fell again this quarter by almost 50%. Also, I'm beginning to wonder if Nokia's partnership with Microsoft (MSFT) is now a Trojan horse.
At the onset of their agreement, Microsoft was seen as a potential catalyst for Nokia. This relationship can still very well be what both companies envisioned. However, given the weak adoption of Microsoft's mobile operating system efforts, it's worth speculating if Nokia couldn't do better by itself. Where's the evidence Nokia's market position is any better since these two came together?
I have no doubt that Microsoft has plenty of motivation to make this relationship work. But from a practical point of view, investors should be wondering if their fortunes would change if Nokia had the latitude to pursue other operating systems including Google's (GOOG) Android. Not only would Nokia enter the conversation as a "true" Apple rival, but the company can begin to seize the same platform advantages as Samsung.
Along similar lines, I do question why management hasn't placed an emphasis providing cheaper phones, which is what has worked so well for Samsung against Apple. If Nokia truly cares about restoring its long-term health, capitalizing on the potential growth in emerging markets is a strategy that management shouldn't ignore, especially with mobile phone units down 21% this quarter.As much credit as management deserves for the bottom-line improvements, the top line is where it matters the most, at least in this sector. Given Nokia's poor margin leverage and weakening market position, there are still plenty of fundamental challenges that still remain. In the meantime, Nokia investors have to wonder how long the company can survive given the rate at which its global market share is eroding. While the company's cash flow is certainly improving with increased cost-cutting, I still see no compelling reason to hold this stock beyond a hope and a prayer.

"No one ever said it would be easy. They said it would be worth it." Those words echoed through my mind on Saturday October 11th through the quiet storm of emotions that were raging as I ran down the steamy Queen K highway.
I'll be honest. I did not want to write this race report. There are multiple reasons for that, most of which are rooted in my own wanting to avoid reliving the experience and longing to move on without having to rehash the painful details. After the Ironman World Championships, as I sat with a good friend on a sunny balcony listening to the sound of cheerful banter of my Coeur Sports teammates with the waves crashing in, she became the voice of reason. She said, "I think it's important that you share your experiences as a pro, Kim, especially experiences like this one. Many people don't get to see the hard side where sometimes things fall apart despite your best preparations. Sometimes pros gloss over it like it was no big deal or just another day at the office to avoid looking vulnerable or looking like they made mistakes. People who have loved your blog in the past, have loved it because you never did that. Don't you start now." I told her my reasons for the shiny happy blog, including me not wanting to make my recent race something more important or significant than it was, but she wasn't buying it. So thanks, Michelle. This one is for you.
Lins, Krops and I
Three amigos at the pro meeting
I came into the World Championship tentatively optimistic. I'd been nursing a hip /glute / hamstring issue through September and early October, but it seemed to be holding up well due to some great PT with Vesla 360. I had come to the big island earlier than usual to prepare my body for some of the challenges I didn't deal with as well the previous year including heat, humidity and nutrition. My mental outlook felt good and I was ready for an incredibly hard mental and physical day.
When I lined up to tread water with the 35 best women in the world, I didn't feel pressure. Hearing the helicopters buzz overhead and the voice of Mike Reilly announcing, I didn't feel I had anything to prove. I prayed for a super solid day where I would celebrate this season and get to use my gifts to their utmost ability. I looked into the eyes of the other women who I'd seen grace the covers of magazines, holding banners above their heads and knew for the first time that I belonged with this group. It was a good feeling. I came to compete and it was going to be a great day.
When the cannon fired, blood coursed through my veins like hot lava...breath, stroke, breath, stroke. There was no time for sighting; I followed the bodies around me by watching them underwater mirroring their every movement. For a full minute, I was redlining in harmony with a small group of five to six women which I knew included Beth and Linsey, so I was exceptionally happy with my position. Then, just like that, out of the corner of my eye the body at my right swerved and I was caught alone. I looked up just in time to see the group start taking a beeline closer to the buoy and with that I knew I had to find the power to surge. It was now or never. Unfortunately, my body's answer was "no" and the group gapped me by five feet. I continued to push, but they moved farther and farther away and I knew it was going to be a very long 2.4 mile solo swim. The swell was up and it seemed to catch the group in just the right way leaving me high and dry. It was hard to sight and the buoys seemed incredibly far in between. "Just keep swimming hard," I told myself for the duration, but it was hard to stay focused on straightest course, especially on the way back. The current seemed to be pulling me too far to the right inside the buoy lines. I heard kayakers yelling "LEFT!!" for a majority of the return trip and I kept thinking "TRUST ME, I'm TRYING!!" I tried not to swallow too much salt water, as I know that can be a recipe for disaster, but at times I'd turn to breathe at exactly the same time as a swell or chop and get a nice big gulp.
I heard other athletes being announced as they were coming out of the water, and tried not to let it get me down. Ironman is a very long day and would not be decided in the first hour of a nine plus (or even longer in my case) hour day. I excited the water, ran through T1 and almost had a small heart attack when I saw the time clock at the bike mount.
Out onto the bike I felt optimistic. I've been biking well lately when my hip was willing to push and my coach and I had taken a conservative plan for the first portion of the race to make sure that area was happy and not overworked. It would also give me a chance to start eating and drinking early and with my sweat rate of 60+oz per hour in hot conditions, this was key. Heading out to the turn-around the highlights were hearing plenty of great cheers and of course staring into the face of a smiling ear to ear Chrissie Wellington. My heart rate was soaring and my power seemed a little slow to respond. I could feel my glute not wanting to push quite as hard as I was hoping, but it often tightens up with the rest period during taper so I wasn't overly concerned. I couldn't help but notice the other girls bombing down the other side of the road before I was even close to the turn around, but I tried to ignore it. I repeated my mantras for the day "patience pays off, smart consistent following the plan, leave the outcomes alone" hoping they would ward off any negative thoughts. I slugged down two 28oz bottles in the first fifty minutes so I was feeling pretty good about my nutrition progress. Headed out on the Queen K, I wasn't really thrilled with my power average, so I attempted to start pushing on it, but the hip just didn't seem to love my effort so I backed off. More patience necessary. The age group men caught me much faster than I anticipated, and by 30 miles, I was already dealing with their constant passing, but this year I was mentally prepared for it. I stayed away from their riff-raff and made sure to maintain a good distance.
The middle miles up to Hawi started getting windy and I started to let the negative thoughts creep in about my glute not functioning as well as I'd hoped. I thought hitting these powers was going to come easily and it seemed to be anything but. The goals coach and I had set were the exact same as I had done the last two races, but unfortunately, my body didn't seem to be pulling it off. Slugging back Powerbar Perform, I soldiered on, but not with my usual gusto. I started doubting myself and my body already, wondering if I was going to even be able to pull together a solid day. As the winds to Hawi worsened, my outlook grew dimmer and I started thinking about just trying to enjoy the scenery out there. I watched the blue water while the men passed me, drafting in droves. I tried to enjoy riding my bike as that was one of the reasons I came, to enjoy the day.
We hit Hawi and were finally rewarded with some nice winds coming down the mountain. I remembered my coach's instructions, that if I had to make decisions out there, I should make them in light of preserving the last 30 miles of the bike as being my strongest of the day. At this rate, they were bound to be as I'd lost so much focus I was just hanging out on my bike for the first 65 miles. The thing that worried me most was that I was averaging 2.5-3 bottles per hour and didn't even remotely have to pee. My stomach wasn't feeling all that spectacular and I'd started skipping gels to cut down on my carbohydrate content in hopes of feeling a little more settled. When we made the turn toward home back onto the K, I finally made a decision. If I did ONE thing correctly on this bike, it was going to be this 30 mile section. I stopped sitting up (which I did way too much of the first 60 miles, not very aero in the Kona wind) and babying my glute. I decided that I came here to run this body into the ground, so I had better start doing it and get my act together. Often times the momentum (or lack thereof) on this very tough section back to town bleeds directly into the marathon. I was hoping if somehow I could turn this ride around, maybe I still had the chance to run up to my capabilities and feel good about my efforts.
I started tussling with the men that wanted to pass me and then sit up and eat/drink their buffet. My power numbers started to resemble something of normalcy and I gained a little momentum back. I was still worried that I was chugging fluid and it didn't seem to be moving through my system, but I knew the answer was not to stop. That was out of the question. I took a caffeinated gel and pushed as the tailwind turned into a headwind for the last 20 miles back to town.
I knew by my time, I hadn't broken any records and was most likely pushing the very back of the women's professional field. However, I believed that I could still run a decent marathon that I would be proud of at the end of the day. In T2, I stopped at the restroom to assess the hydration and the news was not good. "I can still do this!" I told myself and headed out on the run. For the first ten miles through town I felt ok, my stomach was a little testy so I took some gas-X and TUMS, which I always have with me in my Fuelbelt pouch. I took some salt tablets too just in case. I couldn't stand the thought of more sports drink so I took coke from aid station one right through. My heart rate seemed to be right where it should be and I didn't feel too hot which was a big change from the previous year. I focused on what I could control and the hip only hurt slightly which was completely manageable.
I heard plenty of cheers and looked forward to seeing familiar faces which helped out on Alii as we ran. I seemed to be passing a lot of people and I started thinking a 3:10 or below might be within reach. I started feeling a little more "off" in the stomach near the turn up Palani near the 10 mile mark, so I took more meds hoping to solve the issues.
By the eleven mile mark out on the Queen K, my stomach started feeling like it was carrying a brick. The harder I pushed, the worse the pain got. I slowed down considerably to try to keep things moving and maybe see if my body would normalize, but to no avail. I stopped to try and throw up, no dice. I started to jog praying for it to let up, but it continued to worsen. Little by little I tried to run and then would walk hoping it would go away. The people I had passed on Alii started slowly passing me back one by one. Many athletes encouraged me as they went by and told me to keep going. I tried to stay positive, but things were going downhill fast. Somewhere between 14-16 miles, I realized that finishing this race at all was going to be a real challenge. I was feeling so sick I wanted to lie down alongside the road and just roll around in pain. Walk, jog, walk, jog... watch pro women run by on the other side, cheer for them, repeat. My heart sank. This was the final verdict of my day. I thought about flagging down the medical team at the next aid station and getting a ride back to town. I passed one pro woman who was also walking during my slow jog phase and she said "nice running" and I didn't know whether to laugh or start crying. We were both having long days, but she wasn't quitting either.
I stopped taking in all calories except coke and began running on fumes. The energy lab miles were a blur. I'm not sure what happened in there, but the other top age group women were now right on my heels and passing and it was great to see my Coeur Sports teammates doing so well, along with my friend Andrea. In the end, I had forgotten what it was like to be out among the masses cheering each other on even when the high hopes were long over. The highlight reel from the last six miles included lots of puking (and rallying) and developing a very intimate relationship with a cone at mile 24. The medical team told me if I didn't let go, I would be taken in so eventually I did pry myself off and onto all fours, crawling and eventually walking. Tears streamed down my face through the final miles just as they had the year before, but for entirely different reasons. I was disappointed in the times I'd given up on myself out there, but I was also thinking about my cousin Mike's family and how no matter what pain I was in, the pain they faced on a daily basis overshadowed this small blip of my tough day by leaps and bounds. The strength they have shown recently is like nothing I have ever seen. If they could do it, I could do it. I knew Mike was watching and I made a promise not to quit no matter what happened out there. I thought about my QT2 teammates, Beth, Linsey and Cait all pushing the limits out there regardless of the kind of day they were having and about all my teammates, FYP athletes, Pitt tri club members, Boulder Tri Camp members (specifically my friend Ashley C. who just did her first half IM), friends and family back home watching and cheering me on. The rubber had met the road and I'd come out victorious over the demons telling me to pull the plug and go home. I didn't break any records. In fact, I didn't even beat my very first Ironman ever (10:56) on the big island, but I did manage to finish, which at times seemed all but impossible. My body had been wrung out and left for dead, but the spirit was stronger. I wondered if I had let myself quit that day, would I ever forgive myself for the promise I had made. I decided I wouldn't and for my own reasons, I pressed on. Other pros had to make their own decisions with other races on the horizon. For me, this was the right decision that day as I knew this was my final race of the season.
Alii drive was lined with friends and family and running down it still felt like a party with thousands of your closest friends. They cheered like I was winning the whole race and maybe to them, I was. It was getting dark and my finish had looked completely different in my mind's eye. Instead of barreling down it guns blazing, I was willing one foot in front of the other hoping my body wouldn't shut down minutes from the finish line. When Mike finally said my name, he saw my expression and announced "it was a tough day, great job Kim" and I was being caught by the volunteers. Safe at last. Off to the medical tent where I lost eight pounds and was treated with lots of TLC.
Even now I know this day was bigger than me.
What I wrote on Facebook as my status I believe with all my heart.
"There are days where you ask of your body & it gives you everything it can. Even though it might not be the day you hoped to have, you realize that those are the days where you do exactly what an Ironman does, finish. You finish and give thanks for all the wonderful people in your life. You finish because you made a promise to yourself and someone who you know is watching you from above. You finish because it's a gift & you never EVER take that for granted. Thanks for all your support! I am an Ironman World Champion finisher once again!"

It doesn't make it sting less, but it does help me to know that my friends and family are there for me no matter the outcome of one day. I will not let this race define me as an athlete or a person. There are lessons to be learned and I'm still in the process of figuring out what those are for me. The biggest one was that sometimes the important part is learning the hard way not to "judge" the race during the early throws when not much has been decided yet. I lost focus and that was on me. The nutrition piece in Kona is always a tough one as well and it might have been the salt water sloshing around in my belly or it might have just been my super sweat rate again requiring the amount of sports drink that is beyond all normal limits but hard to absorb at that same rate. Either way, the big island and I had some time to come to peace afterward and having Kyle with me throughout the day was a huge reason why I could keep trucking on long after my day was supposed to be finished.
Some words from one of my athletes, Scott, were a welcome insight into another perspective.
"Adversity introduces us to ourselves. I was more proud to have you as my Coach yesterday than if you had won the whole dang thing. Don't get me wrong I wish you all the best and the race of your dreams but when things all went to hell you kept moving. Anybody can shine when everything is going great, but show me what someone does when it all falls apart and I'll tell you who they are.
You looked into the abyss and you kept putting one foot in front of the other, to me there is nothing more noble. I know something about dark places albeit one of my own making and I know what it takes to keep your feet moving and there aren't many willing to walk through fear and pain.
I don't know why stuff like that happens but I no longer spend a lot of time questioning it. I have found that everything happens for a reason and if I keep putting one foot in front of the other the reason will be revealed. I strongly suspect someday you will be able to draw on Saturday to help yourself or more likely in service to someone you care about.
Whatever the reason, you were a champion on Saturday."

Patrick Wolf Refutes 'Retirement'
Earlier this week, Patrick Wolf posted a lengthy diatribe to his web site seemingly stating his musical resignation and last show: "My final concert will be this November. I am not sure whether there will be anymore public communications after that. In fact, I am pretty sure there will be none." A rather perplexing announcement considering his recent broadcast of several supporting gigs with Brit songstress Amy Winehouse. But now, in an interview with Pitchfork, Wolf has, somewhat confusingly, contradicted his previous claims: "I never said I was quitting music."
Wolf, explaining the message was intended for online fans as a way to communicate his plans to cut back on his exhausting touring regiment, now divulges that quitting music is simply not an option: "For me to say I was going to quit music is like saying I'm going to commit suicide. It's the most extreme thing that could happen in my life."
And abandoning music is the antithesis of what Wolf has been up to. "I've got so many projects...I've got this double record...It might be called Hard Times and I might be working with Alec Empire and Atari Teenage Riot." Well, welcome back Mr. Wolf.
Fans can snatch up The Magic Position, Wolf's latest record, and surely not his last, dropping in the U.S. May 1.

Skinny Baskets
This little piece I bought two of, thinking I'd use them for bathroom storage. Problem is the units are too narrow to hold much, and the wood feels like it's quite fragile, being extremely light weight. One of the wooden frames cracked on assembly, so I set it aside and never opened the second one. I'm thinking of returning them, but the first box was accidently thrown out. Originally I had checked the button that I'd recommend this unit, only because it could be handy for extra storage, but the quality of materials is just too lacking. It's made relatively well, I just wish they had used better quality wood for the frame. The wood feels way too light and flimsy, as if it's too dry and will snap easily. (it cracked on me)Read More
very cheap looking
i would not buy this product again and not recomend to anyone to purchase it very expensive for this item .very cheap looking and does not look like the basket will hold up .they already have holes in some of the baskets.Read More
Poor quality
Not at all as nice as picture! Made very cheaply. Had to repaint!Read More
Altra Storage Unit
1. It arrived yesterday in a box that was wide open. I just picked up the lid, which was also slit down both side. I had a hard time getting the box into my house without dumping the contents all over the patio. I don't know what kept the parts in the box. It must have been VERY careful handling by a series of UPS personnel. (Maybe the parts are not all in there. I'll need to check, come to think of it!) 2. It is made out of balsa or some equally fragile wood. The instructions even tell you to assemble it right where you're going to use it, as moving it can cause problems. Oh, boy! I need something to hold miscellaneous craft tools, and some of them are heavy. I'm not sure this is the right purchase for that. 3. The finish is rough and dry. Keeping it clean and dusted will not be possible. I'll need to drape it with something.Read More
OK but came w/Missing parts
It looks OK but seems kind of flimsy and was missing a key part that keeps the shelves from falling down once they are inside the chest.Read More
Altra Storage unit
I bought this tower to store my make up, perfumes, hair products because I don't have a lot of storage options in my bathroom and I set up in my walk in closet to create more space for my husband. It is very cute and keeps the area clutter free. The drawers are big enough to hold my hot rollers, hair dryer, straightening iron, brushes. I am very pleased with how sturdy it is. It would work also if someone wanted to store wash cloths, hand towels, and full towels if needed.Read More
This is a green hue, not grey!!! I was shocked by the quality. I did assemble, it was not that difficult, and it did seem a bit more sturdy. The baskets are really poor quality, and I hope this storage unit holds up as well as it looks. It would look even better if the color was grey!! I would not spend the money I did on balsa wood!Read More
Wood frame is sturdy, but baskets are cheap
The baskets are cheaply made and the bottoms do not stay inside the frame of the basket. The frame is nice and sturdy, but the basket design needs to be changed. After all, you buy baskets to hold items, not retrieve them out of the drawer in the next level.Read More
great for what we are using it for.
was disapointed that the product was received without instrucitons on how to put it together and the hardware need in order to put it together.Read More
not recommended
I have to say that I was excited to find the storage unit as I have been looking for months and the price was great but I was very unhappy with the unit it was missing parts so we couldn't put it together and the baskets were already pulling apart so I ended up returning the storage unit. I have to say that overstock.com has some of the best customer service people I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with thank youRead More
