How to Be More Efficient and Less Stressed
After a brush with a serious illness drove Ari Meisel to de-stress his life, the author of Less Doing, More Living: Make Everything in Life Easier became an expert on efficiency. In this video, Meisel shares his three-part process to streamline any task, no matter how small.
"The truth is, whether you're in a 9-5 job or you're an entrepreneur, there are hundreds of things in your day and your week that take a minute or even 10 seconds of your time, but they add up," he says.
What's one task you can automate?
You Don't Need More Time, You Need More Energy
Are you feeling pressed for time? Take a 20-minute break and watch this TEDx Talk from Tony Schwartz, CEO of The Energy Project. According to Schwartz, refocusing and renewing your energy will help you cope with this "world of infinite demand."
"We need to learn to manage our energy rather than our time," he says. "It used to be—until recently, even—that if you needed to get more done, what did you do? You invested more hours. Well that's fine, except time has a problem, doesn't it? It's finite."
How do you renew your energy?
How Ted Turner Learned about Integrity
Honor and integrity are of the utmost importance in business, according to media mogul Ted Turner. In this video, Turner tells the story of how his father instilled those values in him from a very young age.
"My father was a great, great believer in personal integrity; honor," Turner says. "Here I am, 72 years old, and I haven't been indicted or accused of anything."
Keep watching for Turner's favorite quote on integrity from William Shakespeare.

Why Being Busy Isn't Impressive
In this spirited TEDx Youth Talk, reformed overachiever Carlin Daharsh explains why being busy is not the same thing as being productive and why it isn't impressive.
"I had people coming at me from every direction [during high school], telling me what I needed to do, needed to learn, needed to know, needed to try, needed to be good at in order to be successful," she says. "Now, I know that they only wanted what was best for me, but I became a victim of society's theory implying the busier you are, the more impressive you seem."
What unimportant tasks are you willing to give up?
Why You Need to Follow Your Own Path
Though he's only 23 years old, Brian Wong is already a successful venture capitalist and founder of the mobile advertising company Kiip. In this chat with Darren Hardy, Wong talks about what it feels like to be looked at as an example of success and cautions us all to take his advice "with a grain of salt."
"I did the things I did in my own economic environment, social environment, etc. etc. People always have their own unique environments that they thrive in, so try to take the principles that might be driving my decisions versus what I did," Wong explains. "There is no playbook; there is no step-by-step."

I'm a firm believer in cutting the cord on cable TV to save money - click here to learn how you can get started. Despite how much easier it is today than a few years ago, there are still some hurdles to overcome.
For example, sports is a problem. Sure you can find streaming college games, and the major leagues have their own subscription services, but wading through the options is confusing and can cost a small fortune.
It's tough to watch local news without a cable subscription, too. Many folks like to start or close out their day with the local news, but you can't see those broadcasts online.
There is a simple solution, however, and it costs just a fraction of a yearly cable bill.

US 7386376 B2 Abstract The system described in this invention can be used for monitoring and analyzing real time visual and non-visual information pertaining to the occupant, vehicle, and surroundings prior to, during and post eccentric operating conditions for a given period of time. The system stores vehicle and occupant data from sensors throughout the vehicle and also makes use of existing vehicle sensors that may already be present in the vehicle. The invention also includes a video recording module that makes use of a fish-eye camera to capture video from the inside and the outside of the vehicle. Real-time data analysis is performed to detect and to recognize vehicle occupants, and recognize impending eccentric events. Vehicle, occupant, and video data are stored in circular buffers. When an eccentric event, a collision for example, has been detected, the device continues to record data and video for a fixed period of time. Once this time has elapsed, the data is transferred from volatile to non-volatile memory for later retrieval. A computer may be used to retrieve and display the vehicle and occupant data in a synchronization with the video data for the purposes of accident recreation, driver or vehicle monitoring.
Claims(5) 1. An in-vehicle recording system, comprising:
a data capture module capturing vehicle data and occupant data, wherein the data capture module captures biometric data;
a video capture module recording video data inside and outside the vehicle; and
a data recorder in the vehicle, the data recorder recording the vehicle data, the occupant data and the video data and continuously synchronizing the occupant data with the vehicle data.

Description This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Ser. No. 60/351,968 filed Jan. 25, 2002. Transportation systems and networks are vital in our society. Business shipments, product deliveries, and commuters, are just a few examples of the thousands of uses of our transportation systems. It is well known that these systems are often delayed due to accidents, particularly ones that rely on automotive routes. These delays cause traffic build-ups that result in much wasted time and frustration. On-scene investigations are time consuming and are not always accurate. Often, investigators must rely on witness statements and approximations to assess the events leading up to the accident and to determine who is at fault. It is therefore difficult to guarantee the correctness of these assessments. Insurance companies use these assessments to determine who must pay for the damage after an accident has occurred. Incorrect assessments lead to thousands of dollars being spent unnecessarily by the insurance companies whose clients were not at fault. Clearly, a system capable of recording, reproducing and analyzing information pertaining to an accident is very valuable. Traffic delays due to accident investigations could be decreased since less investigation time would be required. Investigations would be much more accurate since the system will provide precise data prior to, during, and after the accident. Additionally, insurance companies will benefit due to improved investigation assessments. Other devices have been proposed as visual/non-visual vehicular data recorders, however, they fall short in several areas. Numerous vehicular data recording systems have been proposed which combine audio/video data, and vehicle performance data. Examples include U.S. Pat. No. 6,389,340 to Rayner, U.S. Pat. No. 6,246,933 to Baque, US Patent 2002135679 to Scaman, U.S. Pat. No. 6,298,290 to Takeshi, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,843,463 to Michetti. Each of these systems are primarily data logging systems, in which the data recording process is triggered by a sudden vehicle acceleration or other accident-anticipation system. Some systems, such as the one proposed in US Patent 2002105438 to Forbes et al., also make use of basic biometric signals to anticipate an accident or incident that should be recorded. Upon triggering of the recording mechanism, some of these systems attempt to transfer the video and vehicular data to a form of non-volatile memory. However, many of these systems, such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,843,463 to Michetti and US Patent 2002135679 to Scaman, are restricted to auxiliary memory devices such as tapes and hard disks. Some systems, such as U.S. Pat. No. 6,141,611 to Mackey et al., automatically transfer the collected data to a remote central data system for distribution to authorized parties. Viewing of the recorded information requires the use of cumbersome external hardware or physical extraction of the storage medium. In addition, these systems rely largely on analysis of the vehicle data by trained personnel, and provide minimal interface capabilities for an automobile owner. The previously discussed patent documents suggest systems that record primarily vehicle performance/status data, and video data. No occupant data is explicitly recorded. Rather, extraction of meaningful occupant data (e.g. number of occupants, occupant position, occupant size) can only be gathered through expert, post-incident analysis of the video data. Most existing video recording systems require multiple conventional cameras, often placed in intrusive locations within the vehicle compartment. The patent documents discussed above makes no use of the visual data to infer occupant position, to anticipate eccentric conditions, or to determine the nature of the vehicle's occupants. Existing patents suggest systems with minimal in-vehicle interfaces. Interface to the recorded data is limited primarily to post-incident analysis by trained personnel using specialized hardware and software. Existing offline interface systems often require qualified personnel to analyze the captured data in order to reconstruct the sequence of events prior to an accident or other incident. Other systems currently in use are meant for the purpose of surveillance and tracking certain vehicles. These systems are either mountable on a fixed structure such as traffic signals or bridges or on a building near an intersection. The portable systems are usually mounted on law enforcement vehicles and are again used for the purpose of surveillance and monitoring other vehicles. The sensor system of the invention herein proposed is unique from existing video/vehicle data recording systems, both in terms of functionality and possible applications. The set of sensors employed in this device is unique as it incorporates traditional vehicle data sensors, novel occupant status sensors, video information, and biometric sensors in order to anticipate an impending eccentric condition, and to maintain a complete record of the vehicle and occupant status prior to an event. Traditional vehicle sensors such as speed, engine diagnostics, brake position, accelerator position, GPS co-ordinates, and traction control system data are continuously recorded. Additionally, non-traditional data sensors are used that maintain a record of events such as occupant position/height/weight, cellular phone use, and child seat presence. Biometric sensors ( such as a heart beat monitor) are used to log indicators of the driver's awareness. Finally, video sensors are used to maintain a visual record of in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle events, and to visually recognize conditions that may lead to an eccentric condition, such as driver drowsiness/distraction, passengers being out of their seat, or an impending exterior collision. The video sensor outlined in this document can make use of a fish-eye lens system to capture a 360-degrees image of the surrounding environment. This set of vehicle and occupant sensors, and the use of video data in both an active and passive manner, is unique in comparison to existing visual/non-visual data recording systems. The invention outlined in this document describes a system with a sophisticated in-vehicle interface for use by occupants and would-be buyers, a computer interface for offline analysis by drivers, parents, and company supervisors, and a remote interface capable of signaling emergency response centers with pertinent location and occupant information in the case of an accident. The in-vehicle interface device allows occupants to recall vehicle performance statistics and to interface with a GPS/Traffic Monitoring system. In addition to monitoring standard vehicle performance statistics, the device can be set to sound an audio alarm when the vehicle is in excess of the legal speed limit. The speed limit is determined by way of the GPS co-ordinate data, or through a manual setting. A speech recognition system can be used to set the speed limit alarm options and parameters. Using the GPS data, and the remote connection to traffic monitoring systems, the occupants may also access advance visual and non-visual traffic information in order to better plan their route. The in-vehicle interface device can also be used by potential vehicle purchasers to access vehicle usage information, such as the number of times the airbag has deployed, or the number of times the vehicle has been in excess of 130 km/h. Many patents describe systems in which a computer monitor must be transferred to the vehicle and plugged into the system to view the captured data, or removal of the storage medium all together, should a review of the recorded information be required. This system provides a unique mechanism for in-vehicle viewing of recorded information. Additionally, the end-use functionality of the interface system is unique as no other patent describes a system that integrates a data recording system with traffic monitoring, navigational aids, and in-vehicle review of usage statistics for potential buyers. The computer interface allows offline analysis of vehicle routes and vehicle performance. This could be of enormous benefit to parents who wish to monitor their child's vehicle usage, or company supervisors who are attempting to monitor employee use of company vehicles. This invention can be used with multidimensional, virtual reality, accident recreation software that converts physical measurements of the vehicle and occupant into a media that is viewable and understandable by the average law enforcement officer and home user. This interface system, which combines an in-vehicle interface, a computer interface, and a remote interface, is unique in comparison to the interface systems described in prior patent documents, both in terms of functionality and possible end-use applications. Other benefits of a data recording system for vehicles include; assisting medical agencies in determining treatment for accident-related injuries and acting as a deterrent to reckless driving. This is particularly pertinent to young drivers borrowing their parent's vehicles. Beyond applications of offline monitoring and incident investigation are a wealth of in-vehicle applications which utilize vehicle and occupant sensors. A sensory data recording system could provide information in real-time to alert drivers if they become drowsy or are driving in excess of the legal speed limit. The system can also act as a navigational aid when used in co-ordination with GPS data and a remote traffic monitoring system. Other advantages of the present invention can be understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein: The system's eccentricity detection unit (1) uses sensors including the fish-eye camera (3) and non-visual occupant and vehicle data sensors (4), including biometric sensors, and impact sensors to detect any up-normality with respect to predefined normal operating conditions. An eccentric-state signal is sent to the control units (2) of the data capture module and video capture unit when it has detected an up-normality. The control units of the data capture and video capture modules then continue to record their respective data for a fixed period of time. The data from each module is transferred from volatile memory (8) to non-volatile memory (9) once this time period has elapsed. Biometric sensors, such as a heartbeat monitor embedded in the steering wheel, are of use in recognizing a state of stress or drowsiness in the driver. An impending eccentric condition can also be detected through analysis of the video data. Driver distraction, rowdy in-vehicle passenger behavior, or an impending exterior vehicle collision can be recognized from the video data as a state of instability. When an impending eccentric condition is detected the driver can be warned via an audio alert message, or the data/video capture units may be alerted as to the up-normality condition. The video capture module comprises a control unit (2), camera (3 a), video encoder (3 b), video processor (3 c), video analyzer (3 d) and video compressor (3 e) (combined), and storage (8)(9). The storage is large enough to store several seconds of video and is composed of both volatile (8) and non-volatile memory (9). The video capture module's camera (3 a) preferably makes use of a �fish-eye� lens that provides a 360-degree view. This 360-degree fish eye camera (3 a) may be mounted in the headliner (20) of the vehicle (30), as shown in The video compressor (3 e) is required to reduce the amount of memory necessary to store the video. The compressed video is then placed in volatile memory (8) in a circular buffer. The circular buffer continuously overwrites the oldest data with newer incoming data such that a fixed length of video is always stored. The video capture module control unit's software (2) stamps the video data so that when the data is retrieved, it will be possible to have synchronized playback with the non-visual vehicle and occupant data (captured by the data capture module). When the control unit is triggered with an eccentric event signal generated by the eccentricity detection unit (1), the video capture module continues recording for a fixed length of time. Once this time has elapsed the stored video is copied from volatile (8) to non-volatile memory (9), for permanent storage. The data capture module consists of a control unit (2), an interface to the existing vehicle sensor system (4), an interface to additional occupant and vehicle sensors (4), volatile storage (8), and non-volatile storage (9). Sensors (4) are placed throughout the vehicle to gather vehicle and occupant data. In some cases, the data capture module may make use of the existing vehicle sensory system interface and simply retrieve the data from the vehicle's existing sensors (4). This prevents redundant sensors from being installed in the vehicle unnecessarily. However, additional occupant sensors (e.g. weight and position sensors) and bio-metric sensors (e.g. heartbeat sensors) can be added to the vehicle for an increasingly complete record log of the vehicle's occupants, and for use in anticipation of eccentric conditions. Similar to the video capture module, the non-visual data is stamped so that synchronized playback with the video is possible. As with the video data, a data inference algorithm is applied to the captured data in an attempt to anticipate an impending eccentric condition. This can include statistical analysis of occupant sensors, accelerometers, and biometric signals. The data capture module may gather (but is not limited to) the following pieces of vehicle and occupant data (4): occupant position data, occupant height data, occupant weight data, accelerations, GPS location of vehicle, absolute time, vehicle proximity, child seat presence, cellular phone in use, security system data, engine diagnostics, seat belt in use, airbag data, driver drowsiness data, heart-beat sensors, vehicle speed, engine parameters, transmission status, status lights, tire pressure, brake position, accelerator position, air temperature, compass direction, vehicle make, model and VIN, vehicle life statistics, antilock brake system data, impact data and traction control system data. Known variations of each of these sensors are suitable for use in the present invention. When combined, this data provides a very accurate and complete view of the conditions prior to, during and post eccentric events. The data capture module's storage system (8) (9) is the same as the video capture module and can be seen in In addition, the data capture module is capable of recording significant events and statistics that have occurred pertaining to the vehicle over any given period of time. This is useful for vehicle owners who have lent their vehicle to others, or potential buyers of used vehicles. This data may be retrieved for the last day, month, year or lifetime of the vehicle, and is accessible with the in-vehicle interface device or through the external computer interface software. The data capture module may gather but is not limited to the following vehicle events and statistics: Unsafe driving conditions: Maximum speed ever attained by the vehicle, number of times the speed of the vehicle went over 130 km/h, number of times the vehicle experienced hard �cornering,� number of times the vehicle experienced large accelerations of decelerations, number of time the vehicle neared the point of rollover. Care of the vehicle: number of impacts over a specified acceleration, number of hours or km the vehicle was run with low oil, number of hours or km the vehicle was run with the engine overheated, number of hours or km the vehicle was run post required oil change, number of hours or km the vehicle was run with check the engine light on, number of times engine RPM exceed the vehicle's �red line.� This data is stored directly in non-volatile storage (9) and is updated immediately after one of the events or statistics changes. The occupant of the vehicle may choose to store events permanently for later retrieval at any time by using the user-trigger (7). This trigger simulates the occurrence of an eccentric event, and therefore causes the control units (2) of the data capture and video capture modules to continue recording for a fixed period of time, and then transfer the contents of the volatile (8) memory to the non-volatile memory (9). A possible in-vehicle interface (6 b) is depicted in A computer interface (5) is provided so that recorded data can be viewed and analyzed on a computer. The data capture module's control unit (2) is responsible for transmitting the captured video and data from the non-volatile storage (9) to the computer. Transfer of information from the vehicle to a personal computer can be accomplished through direct connection of a portable computer to the vehicle with data cables, wireless transmission from the vehicle to a central server, or saving the information to a removable storage medium. The computer software can be used to download and recreate the events stored by the invention and view the statistics of the vehicle's use. For accident recreation purposes, a multi-dimensional virtual modeling system can be used to render a graphical rendition of the occupant and vehicle events that occurred prior to an accident. This creates a graphical illustration of the incident that is understandable to the average law enforcement officer or vehicle owner. In all cases, the system can be programmed to restrict the viewable data for certain users. Vehicle owners and potential vehicle buyers can be restricted to the vehicle history and performance, whereas insurance companies may be restricted to the vehicle's dynamics, orientation, and surroundings prior to, during and post collision. Optionally, along with video data, it is possible to capture audio data. This embodiment of the system works with the video capture module, and also stores the audio data in a circular buffer. Additional volatile and non-volatile storage (8)(9) is necessary to store the additional data. As with the video and data capture modules, the contents of the volatile storage (8) is transferred to the non-volatile storage (9) when a fixed period of recording time has elapsed after an eccentric event has occurred. The software algorithms on the video module's control unit (2) perform this process. Access to the captured video, vehicle, and occupant data can be accomplished through several methods: removal of a physical storage medium, direct download, and wireless transmit. Removal of a physical storage medium involves the download of the captured data to a temporary storage device. This storage device can then be brought to a computer where the data is analyzed. Direct download consists of bringing a portable computer to the vehicle and attaching a transmit cable for direct download from the vehicle's storage device to the computer hard drive. Wireless transmit consists of a wireless transmittal of the captured data to a central networked server, or to a nearby stand-alone computer. Patent Citations

Great shoes
"These are so cute and comfortable to wear. I bought them in blackThey are not a sturdy shoe. They look great with leggings. I wear them when I know I don't need to do a lot of walking. They have a very thin sole."
November 10, 2014
Too cute not to own
"I think these flats are SO adorable I had to have them!! They do run a little small - I had to send mine back to exchange for a 1/2 size bigger. But they're going to go with everything! Jeans, dresses, skirts, pants, etc. I can't wait to wear them!!"
October 23, 2014
I love these!
"These shoes are exactly what I wanted. Originally, I got an 8.5 because I typically wear between 8-8.5. I had to exchange them for a 9 because the 8.5 was too short. However, the exchange process was seamless. These shoes are very comfortable! I'm pleased!"

By all accounts, this movie should be a total failure. It's a sci-fi film under fifteen minutes long with a budget small enough to have been financed by homeless people … and they'd still have money left over for food. Luckily, none of that detracted from the picture, and by the time the credits rolled, I was impressed.
The story is kept deliberately simple. Two men (Franco Calabrese and Joel Austin) are sent on a mission to retrieve a couple of wanted people who are stranded on a disabled spaceship. Upon arriving at the planet the ship is supposed to be orbiting, the men are knocked out of space by what appears to be a meteor. What follows is a Darwinian display of the food chain at work.
With a plot as basic as the one in "Stranded," you need to care about the characters (and fantastic CGI effects don't hurt any, either). Writers Don Waters and Joel Austin pull that off without a hitch. By the time the film's climax crashes down, you not only want to know more about the two men, you're also more than a little tense as they approach what they think is possible salvation.
If you're a fan of science fiction, "Stranded" is just the film you need to see. It proves that genre producers and directors don't need huge budgets and major studios behind them to put out a quality film. In fact, after a few of the big budget disasters that have come out of the sci-fi realm ("Lost in Space," for example), it may be a better idea to stick with the independents all together.

BYU Cougars (23-2)
@Air Force Falcons (13-10)
Wednesday, February 09
Clune Arena
Attendance: 6,028
Air Force
Colorado Springs, CO (Sports Network) - Jimmer Fredette scored 25 points as No. 7 BYU ran its winning streak to three games Wednesday with an easy 90-52 win over Air Force.
Jackson Emery added 17 points, Brandon Davies scored 13 and Stephen Rogers had 11 in a well-balanced attack for the Cougars (23-2, 9-1 Mountain West), who remained unbeaten since losing to New Mexico on January 29.
Tom Fow and Michael Lyons scored 11 points apiece to lead the overmatched Falcons (13-10, 4-6), who have dropped three of their last five.
"We had great performances all around," said BYU head coach Dave Rose. "Everybody was playing their 'A' game tonight."
But it was Fredette, as he has the entire season, who really sparked BYU in this one, hitting five of his eight three-point attempts and going 8-of-16 from the field overall.
The nation's leading scorer tallied the first five points in a 7-0 run to open the game. But after the Cougars allowed Air Force to draw within three points at 15-12, Rogers was the key in a 16-0 run that helped BYU take control.
He buried a trio of three-pointers during the burst, and Fredette capped it with a three of his own to make it 31-12. The Cougars went cold for a spell, letting Air Force cut its deficit to eight points before Fredette made another three-pointer for a 34-23 lead.
"The hardest thing when you play Air Force is they make you play 35 seconds of defense every possession," said Emery. "Usually they control the style of the game. I thought we did a good job in our rotation and started to run."
BYU carried a 36-25 advantage into halftime behind 46 percent shooting, including 8-of-18 from three-point range.
Evan Washington's dunk gave Air Force the first two points of the second half, but the Cougars followed with a 14-0 run. Fredette scored the last five points on a layup and three-pointer to make it 50-27 inside of 16 minutes.
The Cougars later increased their lead to 31 points when Emery drained back- to-back threes and Fredette followed with another one. Their largest lead was 40 points on a Logan Magnusson layup with 1:27 remaining.

I run outside as often as I can. I do go on the treadmill twice per week, but that's only because if I use the gym at work a certain number of times per month they give me an incentive (i.e. not raising my health insurance premiums from year to year). If it wasn't for that I'd never run on the treadmill. It's just SO boring...but I won't run outside if there's lightning or tons of ice. Quote:
I have a couple of trips coming up so I'm sure I'll write reports for those. Quote:

I know there is a 10K during Cleveland Marathon Weekend. There's also this one in October and the Towpath 10K. If you can't find a 10K you could also run a race longer than a 10K for corral placement. For the past 2 years I've used times from the Cleveland 10-miler for my corral placement...but that one might be coming up quickly for you to be trained for it. I know there's a 10-miler later in the year in Lynhurst as well, but I've never run it. Quote:

Jambo, Everybody! LET'S EAT!
After I got my Goofy medal I met up with my mom and aunt in the finisher area...they didn't actually see me finish, but it was nice that they were there. Unfortunately, I wasn't super great company. All I wanted was to be clean and dry and out of the sun, and now that I had stopped running I was moving at a snail's pace and was very aware of the pain in my quads and feet. I told them that I was pretty sure that our 1:30 lunch reservation at Kona was in jeopardy and thanked them for being there, but I had to GO. They were very understanding, congratulated me on finishing, and we headed our separate ways. This was the last time I saw them that weekend. I texted Will that I was done and he said he was near the monorail, so I began the slow hobble to the station. I felt like I was in a fog and I truly don't think I have ever moved so slowly in my life. I wasn't fully paying attention to where I was going and suddenly found myself standing in front of a fence. I just kind of stared at it...where had it come from? Who had put it there? The station was just on the other side, but it looked like I had two options to get there: hop the fence or walk around it (about 50 feet away). Neither seemed appealing or possible at the point, and before I even realized what I was doing I found myself on the other side of the fence. I'd somehow climbed over the it, medals, bottled water, Powerade and weird runDisney snack box in hand. I'm not sure how I did it - probably the knowledge that I'd be off my feet sooner this way gave me the motivation. I met up with Will and we headed through bag check at Epcot to get to the monorail station. The CM waived me right through ("Go on, Princess!" ) and we slowly climbed up the ramp to the monorail. I kept apologizing to Will for not moving faster and he said it was fine. We were at the front of the line for our car and against my better judgment I finally allowed myself to sit down. It was glorious A monorail pulled up pretty quickly, but we weren't allowed to board just yet. It looked like an older passenger was having problems (not sure what happened, but by now it was 80 degrees out, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was dehydration or something else heat-related ). The CMs were helping her out and the platform was filling with people waiting to leave the station. A few minutes later we were allowed to board and I managed to pull myself up using the railings. I stood during both monorail rides so my legs wouldn't tighten up and we made it back to the resort by 1. Finally I accepted defeat and canceled our Kona lunch reservation...so sad. Love that place for lunch. We headed back to Conch Key and Will was kind enough to take one of the room's trash cans to the ice machine and fill it with ice. I finally took my shoes off (which didn't feel as good as I'd expected) and took a 10-minute ice bath...and it felt AMAZING. Sweet numbness. After that I finally took that shower I'd been craving all morning, and here I discovered I had some skin issues. I was sunburned in a few weird strips on my back, which hurt a little bit, but overall my sunscreen had held up very well. Very impressive considering the fact that I'd applied it 10 hours earlier and then proceeded to get soaked in sweat. The bigger issue though was CHAFING. All over my...ahem...chest and rib cage area , basically any spot that I had missed that morning when I was applying BodyGlide. It was so bad - in fact I still have marks from it one month later - that I don't know how I hadn't felt it until then. I'm so glad I didn't...I can't imagine having felt that burning and still have been able to function on the race course. But I definitely felt it in the shower...yowza. Luckily it was only on my upper body and nowhere else. After the shower (and lots of Neosporin that I'd brought from home on the chafed areas ) I felt a million times better. Will had gotten me another turkey club with those awesome chips from Gaspirlla Island while I was in the shower, so we ate lunch in the room and watched some classic Disney cartoons. It was lovely, and I really remember feeling such an overwhelming sense of relief. I was so incredibly happy to be done, which was kind of sad...it was the first time I remember feeling glad that a Disney race was over. I conked out pretty quickly afterward. I think I woke up at about 4:15 or 4:30 and quickly got cleaned up for dinner. My quads were still killing me but my feet felt a LOT better. I rolled my quads with The Stick for a bit and we headed out of the room and back to the lobby to catch the monorail to the Magic Kingdom. We hopped on a bus to Animal Kingdom and got seated on time for our 5:30 ADR at JIKO...!!! This is my favorite restaurant EVER. Anywhere. Not just in WDW. It holds lots of great memories for us and it's pretty-much perfect every time. Love it. This time we were seated in the Wine Room. We totally want one of these awesome wine trees for the house...I have no idea where we'd put it, but we'd figure something out! Our server was Paula (only server of the weekend whose name I remember, oops! ) and she was super nice. We got the hot, rose-scented towels (love those) before our basket of bread came. Then we both ordered drinks. I forget what kind of beer Will ordered, but I ordered the Three Cape Ladies...a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage and Syrah. This is the same wine I've gotten each time we've gone to Jiko and I was disappointed to see that they don't have it by the glass on the menu anymore. Luckily Paula let me know they had an open bottle, so I was able to get a glass! So yummy. We put in our orders and I asked that my meat be prepared based on the chef's recommendations (something that I had never thought to do until I read about it in another trip report). Will followed suit. Will's dish...Curry-rubbed Lamb Loin with cauliflower puree, eggplant-artichoke Zaalouk and olive-walnut tapenade: He's so funny...every time we eat at Jiko he'll take a bite, close his eyes, sigh and say, "This is the best thing I have ever eaten!" He LOVED this and was really surprised by how much he liked the cauliflower puree. Definitely a winner! As for me...I went with my old stand-by. I'm so boring...this is the fourth time we've eaten and Jiko and the fourth time I've ordered the exact same wine and dinner. I know what I like. The Filet. Now, this dish used to be listed on the menu as coming with red-wine sauce and macaroni and cheese, but for the past couple of years the mac and cheese hasn't been the side listed with the filet. When we were there, the dish was listed as coming with ancient grain pilaf, heirloom pole beans, Brussels sprouts and red wine sauce. I had heard that you can ask to have the mac and cheese instead, so I did, and it was no problem. In fact, I saw the same dish go to 3 other tables in the wine room alone while we were eating...so I'm not the only one that was being difficult. You can see in the above picture that there were also some Brussels sprouts on my plate (they were good!). Like I said, this was the 4th time I have had this dish, and this was actually the best it's tasted to me. I think having the meat cooked differently made all the difference: normally I'd ask that the steak be cooked medium, but the recommendation from the chef was medium-rare (same for Will's dish, if I remember correctly). It made a huge difference - the steak had so much more flavor. I won't attempt to describe it because if I try to sound like a sophisticated foodie I'll just embarrass myself...but it was just better than it had been in the past. The red wine sauce and mac and cheese were great, as usual. Perfect compliments to the meat. I could eat that mac and cheese for days. OMG, I want some now...*drools.* Ahem. Anyway... We got dessert to share. Chocolate and Tea Safari: Vanilla Rooibos-Tanzanian Chocolate Cake, Free Form "Kit Kat," and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (which they make in-house...Green Tea Ice Cream was listed on the menu but I asked for vanilla instead). The Kit Kat had sort of a weird texture, but it was good - sort of flaky and nutty from what I remember. The ice cream and cake were delicious. I love getting these little dessert trios at Jiko...great chance to try lots of things. We also got a coffee drink to share...I wanted caffeeeeeiiiiiine. Keoke Coffee: Brandy, Kahlua, Crème de Cacao and Coffee topped with whipped cream. Unfortunately I think this is when I learned that I don't like Brandy all that much. If I did I think I would have enjoyed this more. Sadness. So except for not particularly liking the coffee, Jiko hit another home run with us. Perfect service, perfect ambiance (loved the feel of the Wine Room), and excellent food. Can't wait to go back! **WARNING: ZOMBIE-PERSON PHOTO BELOW.** zzzzzzzz Continued in Next Post

Sounds like it was a good plan to take it easy. Glad to see you wore your medal to dinner! If I had one of those, I don't think I'd ever take it off!

Ok, your food looks delicious, but those look like the smallest dinners I have ever seen (or they are just on really large plates!). Of course, my idea of fine dining is Olive Garden...
I was disappointed that we didn't get to try any of the restaurants on this trip. With everyone being sick, we just ate quick service at POR and the parks.

There is nothing wrong with ordering the same food over and over. I do it all the time because I know what I like. Case in point: the Cheesecake Factory. If I don't get the cheesecake I absolutely love and get something else, I'm thinking about what I should've gotten.

Thanks for the compliment on the picture. Quote:
Jiko WAS amazing. I love that place! Lunch in the room afterward was so relaxing. I would have loved lunch at Kona but we made the right call. Quote:

Yum - dinner looks delicious! We did a split stay at AKL and BCV in October and weren't able to squeeze in a dinner at Jiko and were so disappointed. After seeing those meals, I think it's top on our list for next visit (which I've already decided will include a longer stay at AKL).
That's such a great picture of you and your DH! Are you currently training for any races? How many miles do you run in a week when you are not training?

A special dinner at Jiko is a fabulous way to celebrate! Everything looks so good! Sad to see you're not planning on marathon weekend in 2014, I would have really like to meet you. Guess I'll just have to plan on 2015 then!

Yep, I'm training for marathon #3...my first non-Disney marathon. I got a bit derailed because I had a chest cold that started February 1 and JUST went away at the beginning of this week, so I didn't run at all for almost 2 weeks. The rule of thumb for running is to not run if you're sick "below the neck" (which I was) and that you can run if you're sick "above the neck." Weird rule because what if you have a sore throat...?? I haven't not been training for something in quite awhile (if that makes any sense...), but back when I wasn't I normally tried to run 12-15 miles per week. So I'd do either four 3-milers per week or three 3-milers plus a longer run at some point over the weekend. But I found when I was training for Goofy/Dopey that I really liked how I felt when I was running more like 20-25 miles per week. I felt so strong and healthy and I slept really well...so I might try to make that my base in the future. It's taken me 5 long years of consistent running to get to that point though! Everyone is different, ya know?! I'm also thinking about running a 5-miler in March and am signed up for a 10-miler in April. Woohoo! Quote:
Ugh, I know...with trips coming up in September and December there's no way I can swing it in 2014 unless runDisney pays the way for me (Wouldn't THAT be awesome. ) 2015 it is!

First off - CONGRATS on completing the Dopey Challenge! Even though I knew you had, you write so well that was still on the edge of my seat as I read your last few posts!
To prepare myself, I've decided to do a combination of two things. I've signed up with the Running Room Clinic, but their goal run is taking place two weeks later than mine, so they've suggested that I add a 4th or even 5th run per week to make up for it. With that in mind, I'll use Jeff's Easy 5K app for my non-clinic runs because I can adjust the settings to use the ratios from the Clinic for that week, and still get Jeff's encouragement and guidance. That's a win/win in my book! Your review of WWoS section kinda helped me with a decision...I too want to do a runDisney event. I was sorta thinking of doing the 5K during the ToT Ten-Miler, especially because that's my 30th birthday weekend - what better way to celebrate three decades However, from what I could tell, the 5K course is entirely at WWoS . I wasn't too excited about that to begin with, and your review cinched it! I do have a different race in mind for that weekend, which is the CIBC Run for the Cure supporting the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Soo...now I'm pretty sure I'll be signing up for Expedition Everest Challenge 2014!! I like that it's in a park, and that it's a special twist on your standard 5K runs. Plus - it's at Disney, so that's a win no matter what! I also loved your review of Jiko. I too want those wine trees - they look so cool! That photo of you and your husband is very nice - you can't tell that you've just run 68K in three days (sounds even more impressive in the metric system, doesn't it ). Wear that medal proudly - you've definitely earned it

Ice Bath was Awesome
Just wanted to say that I completely agree on the ice bath. While i always take them on runs over 12 miles, after the marathon and the heat....it was the BEST ICE BATH EVER. Of course i also drink a beer while i am in the tub its incentive. Love Jiko for celebration dinner. Had that last year. This year was Monsour Paul's on Monday. I can never eat a lot on Sunday after the marathon, but watch out Monday everything in sight is devoured.
Love your trip report.

I can't bring myself to do an ice bath. BRRRRR!!! Usually a warm shower does the trick for me.
And shamelessly pimping my own freshly minted trip report in my signature. Your thread inspired me to go ahead and start one. |

The location was wonderful and the rooms where very comfortable - Anonymous
Never thought it will be that great! Its locaton is magnificant, thepeople working there are veryvery nice, helpful, u feel they r thinkingof u only every second! I made a reservation for a studio, was upgradedto an appartment with the ame price, very nice to have a separate room,a nice bathroom, a kitchennette corner equipped with everything plus thecovers for like 6 persons,just great.. - Mohamed
The location is the best, you can walk to the Eiffel Tower with young kids (i had three kids age 3.5Years, 2Years, and 10Month) in around 10 min. to 15 min. The staff is very very cooperative spically the manager. The metro station just cross the road, you can easly use it although i used it only for Disney Land tour. The Laundery facility in the hotel helped alot spically with young kids as we can use the washing machine and go to our rooms then return on time to get the cloth (access controll - Anonymous

I particularly enjoyed the location - 5mn away from the Eiffel Tower in the heart of the bustling 15th district. The range of shops and boutiques available within the area was amazing and gave me the flavour of a distinctively authentic Parisian experience. - Anonymous
Good location, pleasnt staff - David
