Jerabek, Kathryn Ann
Kathryn Ann Jerabek, age 90, a Manitowoc resident entered eternal life on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 with her daughter by her side at the family residence.
Kathryn was born November 22, 1922 in the town of Maple Grove, Manitowoc County. She was the daughter of the late James and Mary Bohman Gill. Being the youngest in the family, Kathryn was affectionately known as Babe by her immediate family. Kathryn was a graduate of Lincoln High School with the class of 1940. She continued her education at Holy Family School of Nursing for three years where she received her degree in nursing. In 1945 Kathryn entered the United States
Nursing Corps as a 2nd Lieutenant serving overseas during
World War II
in the Philippine Islands for 18 months. In 1946 she was honorably discharged with the rank of 1st Lieutenant. After her tour of duty with the military, Kathryn became employed with Holy Rosary Hospital, Detroit, Michigan for one year. She then returned to Manitowoc and became employed at Holy Family Hospital as a registered nurse in the obstetrical department for 40 years from where she retired. On December 1, 1951 she married Clarence "Duke" Jerabek at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Manitowoc. He preceded her in death on November 9, 2010. Kathryn was a member of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.
She enjoyed tending her flowers with her husband, Clarence in their beautiful garden. Being a very faith filled person, Kathryn attended daily Mass and often had her rosary in hand. She was a loving, compassionate and supportive Mom and Grandma, having attended numerous sporting, music and academic events that her grandchildren participated in. Kathryn was also a fantastic cook and baker. We loved her feasts during the holidays. Family was her number one priority.
She is survived by her daughter: Mary Wolff, Green Bay, WI; son: Mark Jerabek, Manitowoc, WI; three grandchildren: Eric, Ryan and Kathryn Wolff; nieces, nephews along with other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents: James and Mary Gill; husband: Clarence "Duke" Jerabek; three brothers: George (Larelda) Gill; John Gill; one infant brother; five sisters: Laura (Irving) Maney; Alice (Wencel) Schleis; Grace (Harlan) Clark; Florence (Robert) Johanek; one infant sister; son-in-law: Arnie Wolff.
Funeral services will be held 11:00 a.m. Friday, January 25, 2013 at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church on Waldo. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Rev. Dave Pleier with burial to follow at Evergreen Cemetery, Manitowoc. Following the services at Evergreen Cemetery, there will be a luncheon held at the Harrigan Parkside Gathering Center located on the south property of the Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home. Relatives and friends may call at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church on Waldo on Friday from 10:00 a.m. until the time of services at 11:00. Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.harriganparksidefuneralhomecom.
Mary would like to thank all who helped her make it possible for Mom to remain at home. Gail Lishka, Barb Seaberg, and Diane Free provided excellent and compassionate care and were Mary's "Angels of Mercy". Holy Family Memorial Hospice were an immense help these last few months especially RN's Nicole, Janet, and Lisa, CNA's Pat and Becky, Social Worker Rachel, Chaplain Ralph, and volunteers, Bonnie, Jane Patti, and Skipper. Thank you also to Whitetail Estate, especially Nancy Fuller for the much needed respite care provided. A final thanks to my brother, Mark Jerabek and Loris Buettner and Mary's children for their help with Mom / Grandma.
Mom…Until we meet again someday…Always our love, Mary, Mark, Eric, Ryan, and Kathryn.

In my entry criteria, I look for great stocks with sustainable dividend payout, long histories of dividend growth and strong competitive advantages. I also have a minimum entry yield of 2.5%. There come times however, when the company I own keeps increasing its earnings and dividends, but the stock price rises faster than fundamentals. As a result, while my yield on cost is attractive, my current yield is less than my entry criteria.
For example, my yield on cost on W.W.Grainger (GWW) is 4%, whereas the current yield is 1.60%. My yield on cost on Family Dollar (FDO) is 3.40%, while the current yield is 1.20%. My yield on cost on Higham Institution for Savings (HIFS) is 3.60%, while the current yield is 2.20%.
The common characteristic behind these three positions is that each has delivered solid capital gains since my initial purchase.
Some investors question whether owning these stocks would make sense, given the low current yields that they are exhibiting. Replacing my positions in W.W.Grainger and Family Dollar with stocks which yield 3% currently would provide an almost doubling of my dividend income from each position.
This would be a mistake however, since nothing has fundamentally changed with these businesses. In addition, both companies have excellent growth prospects ahead of them, which will likely lead to further increases in earnings, dividends and stock prices over time. Stocks can deliver low current yields, even while the underlying business keeps growing. This will lead to a higher dividend income stream coupled with a solid potential for capital appreciation.
For example, current yields on certain quality stocks such as Procter & Gamble (PG) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Abbott (ABT) were low during the last few years of the 1990's bull market. Investors who sold and purchased higher yielding shares would have most probably missed on the upside potential for both capital gains and dividend income. While adding to position which are overvalued might not be the best idea, holding onto these positions might be perfectly appropriate.
As a dividend investor, I expect to hold my holdings for as long as possible. This is until one of my exit rules kick in. I expect that at least several of my long term portfolio holdings will generate total returns of several hundred percent over the next decades. This will compensate for the ones that cut dividends or get bought out for example. By selling stocks simply because the current yield is low, I might risk reducing my long-term returns.
In addition, I am not a big fan of chasing yield. If I were actively replacing my income stocks with higher yielding ones, this would increase the risk to dividend income, as most higher yielding stocks have higher payout ratios. In addition, most of the higher yielding securities come from a concentrated number of sectors.

DGI, I'd just like to check: you say it wouldn't make sense to switch to a higher-yielding stock (at say 3%) because the fundamentals haven't changed.ReplyDelete
What if you switched it with another higher-yielding stock whose fundamentals also haent changed? eg from GWW to JNJ?
I'd agree that if the fundamentals are sound there is no reason to sell a position that has had a good run up, however, I might look at that as an opportunity to take advantage of the capital gain and use it to bolster positions in my other holdings that might be of more value - i.e. those that for whatever reason are lagging behind a bit.ReplyDelete
Plus, wouldn't taking the gains and putting them into better value holdings help to balance out the dollar value of each position? That might be just me, but I like each of my stocks to be similarly weighted....

Excellent article to keep us thinking about the big picture. One questions: would not the logical conclusion to this be to always reinvest dividends (and not use those funds to "chase yield" in other investments). Love to hear anyone's thoughts on this.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 16, 2012 at 6:25 PM
Hi just wondering if it would make sense to switch from a lower yielding stock that you like (and own) to a higher yielding stock you like and own? For example from your post, if GWW is yielding <2%, why not switch over to JNJ which is also a "quality" stock?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 16, 2012 at 7:29 PM
What if the companies dividend growth rate declines considerably? I mean technically they are continuing to pay and increase but by so low amount. A company like (ED) currently has a growth rate of > 1%.ReplyDelete
Would that be a consideration to sell?
I would prefer to evaluate my options based on the ability to earn a higher $ income, because that is my objective and not about trying to get a higher % yield-on-cost.ReplyDelete
I should then be capitalizing my paper gains and redeploy the principal + capital gains to earn a higher $ return. The new % yield-on-cost might be low but on a larger capital base and if the absolute $ income is higher, then I am better of than before. At the same risk levels.

Deer Out repellent
New to this forum so sorry if the question has been asked before. Has anyone used a product called "Deer Out?" I am desperate! Human hair, garlic & soap have not worked. Will buy a Scarecrow timed sprinkler for my larger gardens but don't want hoses all over my front yard.
Try planting perennials around because the commercial stuff normally doesn't work. Might even try dried blood.
Sweet Woodruff, Catnip, Creeping Thyme, Bugleweed, Pachysandra, Liriope are plants deer supposedly do not like.
Here is a link that might be useful: Propagating Perennials
Hey, I just saw your msg and I SWEAR by Deer-Out here in the poconos. We are completely overrun and Deer-Out works for me. But I have to be obssessive about spraying every few days -- I will go through three or four of the concentrate bottles ($33 a pop!) every season.
If I forget even for a week, the deer are all over the plants.
It's a toss-up after 10 years whether I could've saved money at this point by installing a serious fence. But we have seven-plus acres and it'd be physically and legally impossible to fence it all in, even if we had the $$ ...
Liquid Fence also works very well. It stinks to high heaven (much worse than eggs and garlic, or Deer Off), so don't spray it if you plan to hang out outside immediately after, but it works, and it lasts longer after rain than some of the other products.
The commercial deer repellant DOES work for me. I use Deer Out, Liquid Fence, and another one whose name I forgot. I use one brand one week, then switch the next week. They all stink.
My deer DO eat liriope. They eat most any kind of it.But not now. The sprays really work. This is the first year my hostas, liriope and roses have survived. Not even a bite. They are usually long gone by now (the plants).
We have a herd of deer in our neighborhood. They have plenty of woods, streams, etc. from which to get food and water. I am really happy with the results of the deer repellants.
Deer Out has worked exceptionaly well for us over the years.I've been a long time user. Unfortunately Deer Out was the last repellent I found instead of the 1st. I think we tried every product in existance(with not much luck)the first few years living in Deer country. LOL
I buy It here in Hunterdon County NJ im not sure were they sell it but heres there web site www.deerout.com
We have found Deer Scram (granular) to be quite effective with use of Deer Out occasionally - once/week or maybe every ten days. And the Scram works 45 days! This is the first yr we have tried the Scram, and the first yr that we have been able to kept the deer OUT of our yard.
Another thing we have done: we have a row of trees that the deer cross through to get to our yd; so we put fishing wire (50 LBS) around trees from bottom to six-seven feet high - making an invisible fence. This has stopped them from coming thru to eat our numerous hostas. They also smell the Scram and the Out at the fence. This stopped their habit.
Now we need to get thru the winter when they love to eat our rhododendrons.
You can get the Scram online with free shipping if it is your first order. I don't remember the company though
Last year I only needed to use deer out 3 times the whole growing season. This year the deer seems to have become used to it a little more so I switched to liquid fence and will alternate between the two.
Kren Im in the poconos. I know excatly what you mean.
I agree with dragonplant, Liquid Fence works well. I've never had deer damage to plants that have been appropriately treated with Liquid Fence. The main ingredients are rotten eggs and garlic, so it does stink to high heaven. It is pretty expensive. A quart of concentrate cost close to 4o dollars.
Deer Out has worked very well for us...We've been using using it exclusively for the past three + years...It is absolutely more effective than any other repellents we tried...It also smells nice & minty compared to all the rotten egg repellents we tried in the past.
Deer population is still growing. Liquid Fence hasn't worked very wel for us this year BC of all the rain we've had. It just rinses away.
This may sound wacky, but I'm thinking of creating one or two feeding areas just outside my backyard that's nestled against the woods. I'm thinking if the deer feed on Deer Chow or something like it, they'll be too full to snack in my garden beds.
Anyone have any thoughts? The only thing holding me back is wondering how many more deer this may or may not attract.

"Software-defined," like any new trend that technology companies rush to attach to has suffered from marketing hype. Starting in mid-2012 with the acquisition of Nicera by VMware, most traditional infrastructure technology vendors across compute, networking, and storage have some messaging around how software-defined fits into their product strategy.
But software-defined is not a traditional concept. Since the transition from mainframe to distributed computing, corresponding with the rise in networking, most technologies in the data center have been very hardware specific. For many years, the way to get the right amount of intelligence in the right place to execute the functionality has been with specialized hardware.
Software-defined is fairly self-explanatory. The value is in the software, with one of the biggest benefits being the use of standard hardware that is a fraction of the cost of vendor-specific hardware, which has been the norm for data centers since the beginning of the 21st century. Standard hardware from servers to networking devices have so many resources available that specialized hardware no longer provides the differentiation it once did.
Freedom from hardware opens up freedom to extend SDDC outside the walls of the data center. SDDC helps organizations deliver a modern private cloud in the same model that large operators like Amazon and Rackspace use to deliver public cloud. What's more, using the right software-defined technologies enables hybrid cloud, the panacea for most enterprises. This is one of the main reasons that open source technologies, and those with very strong standards are emerging in the software-defined space.
That said, software defined has the biggest opportunity to benefit private data centers, where the majority of applications simply cannot run in the public cloud based on policy or preference. Here are some best practices when looking at how software defined can benefit your private data center architecture:
Take advantage of your already efficient procurement: Odds are your organization has a go-to vendor or reseller of servers. Whether from HP, Dell, or a white box vendor like Supermicro, the premium paid on server infrastructure is much smaller than with storage. You may even have a volume purchase agreement, making purchasing of hardware for software-defined storage even more affordable. Buying infrastructure for SDDC is no different than your channels for standard servers and networking equipment.
Insist on standards compliance to avoid future lock-in: SDDC is a real opportunity to reduce or eliminate lock-in among the technologies used in your data center. The best software-defined solutions are based on industry standards so freedom to change is retained. This is more than basic interoperability with a standard API, as that case still relies on the software vendor to keep up with changes. Avoid software-defined solutions that are vendor specific and limit your flexibility to integrate and innovate as this market continues to evolve.
Have a preference for open source technologies: Once dismissed by their proprietary competitors as immature, open source operating systems, middleware, application frameworks, and databases are now standards in the data center. The same trend will hold true for software-defined solutions. Using an open source technology does not preclude organizations from working with commercial vendors to support the success of open source in the data center architecture.
Where are the biggest opportunities to use software defined? We believe it is in storage, a solution area where very large premiums have been paid for many years, based on the perception that specialized hardware was the only way to keep data safe and available. The biggest operators have proven the opposite - they can be available to millions of concurrent users without downtime or losing data while using standard hardware and intelligent software.
The reality is data is simply growing too fast and must be retained too long, at a cost that in many cases must be as close to zero as possible. Plus, unstructured data is the fastest growing, fueled by SaaS applications and the transition to mobile devices. Any private data center today is in direct competition with the operators of large public clouds. Internal users demand the flexibility and operating costs the big operators have proven are possible, so private operators must use the same software-defined strategy to remain competitive.
"Utility Computing" was a hyped trend at the start of this century that was before its time. Some might classify SDDC in the same category, all hype. Objectively, SDDC is a natural extension of cloud, and should prove to be equally as disruptive to the data center architecture as cloud has been. Software used for compute, networking, and storage will need to be as standard as the servers you buy today in order to fit into your data center architecture of the future.

Can I Prune a Knockout Rose Now?
Doesn't this springlike weather just make you want to get your hands dirty, as Rebecca Kolls says?
I have a double knockout rose that I'd like to prune to make it more bushy and less gangly. Can I do that now? I'm in Cary.
I pruned my knock out and other shrub roses back hard this morning. Seemed like the right thing to do, though mine take pruning well any time of year I (or the deer) get around to it.
Has anyone seen the new yellow KO, '(Rad)sunny'?
I've got a yellow one. I bought it in Delaware last summer. I stopped at a nursery on my way back home. I made a beeline for them. They have a slight fragrance, but nothing to get too worked up over.
It starts out really yellow and turns a creamy yellow after a couple days.
I'm probably not the one to advise on how best to prune roses. My strategy was dictated primarily by the fact that we need to get over them with a ladder to clean the gutters this spring. That said, I cut the knock out back from >5 feet to ~3 feet, all canes included, but the oldest ones that were getting woody got pruned back farther to open up the shrub. I don't think I pruned it anywhere near that hard the first year or two, though.
Leaving one or two canes is how you would prune a hybrid tea rose. Knockouts are shrub roses, so do not do that. Take out dead wood and then trim about 1/4 off the top.
Here's a great intro video from Paul Zimmerman of Ashdown:
P.S. yes, mid-March is a good time to prune here.

Three magic number as companies back charitiesPublished at 12:01AM, January 12 2015
GlaxoSmithKline has had a relationship with Amref Health Africa for 25 years, sponsoring programmes ranging from HIV to malaria
Make your donation to the Times Christmas Appeal 2013
Dennis, Gordon and Les fulfil a particular role in the curriculum of Avenue Primary School. "We're antiques," says Les. "We're relics of the past," adds Gordon. "We tell them about the world 80 years ago." They are, in other words, the history curriculum.
They are here as part of a scheme organised by Abbeyfield, one of The Times's Christmas charities, to encourage generational mixing. Along the way, they find time to educate the children about some of the darker periods in British history — such as when no one had heard of plasma screens.
"We told them about the Olympic Games, the 1948 ones," says Les Wileman, 83. "They asked if we saw it on television. I said yes, for those of us wealthy enough to have a television set — and the screen was about the size of an iPad. They said, 'That's not a television set'. "
Thanks to Abbeyfield, Les, along with Gordon Davies, 87, and Dennis Tindell, 88, visit Avenue Primary in Sutton, South London, several times a year. Founded in 1956 by Richard Carr-Gomm, Britain's first male home-help, the Abbeyfield Society was a response to the loneliness and neglect of the elderly people he met in London.
Resigning a commission in the Coldstream Guards, he bought a house in Bermondsey, South London, and invited two local residents to live there. Within two years the first Abbeyfield house had been joined by six more.
Today, that vision has spread even farther — not just through London, but around the world. Abbeyfield runs hundreds of homes with the help of 10,000 volunteers. The charity is not just about the homes, though, but about the homes' place in the community, and their mission is to make the lives of the residents of those houses more fulfilling. It is also a recognition that fulfilment requires more than just money.
Which is why Dennis, Les and Gordon — carrying with them marbles, shove-halfpenny and tiddlywinks — have come to talk about toys, as well as a distant Britain in which you could play on the streets. The children find this particularly hard to understand. "We showed them how to play marbles and told them we played marbles along the gutter. They just didn't get that — what about the cars?"
In a Year 1 classroom that prominently displays rules for use of iPads ("Hold it in two hands"), what do the children make of non-virtual toys? "I think they enjoy them just as much — more — than pushing buttons on a games controller," says Gordon.
Chloe, 5, has a more nuanced view, conceding that she enjoys the dominoes but also explaining: "I like to play on my dad's iPad." For Deeya, also 5, an iPad holds fewer attractions, but then so do tiddlywinks. She has her own favourite play activity. "I have a doggie and she can dance," she says — an undoubted attraction with which even Dennis finds it difficult to compete.
While the morning went some way to bridging the generational divide, Les concedes that there are some chasms that are just too yawning. "When we told them we only had one present at Christmas," he says, "it was something these young people just couldn't comprehend."

In Their Blood
Reviewed by
Sharon Potts does such a solid job in the first half of In Their Blood (Oceanview, 978-1-933515-62-5) that the second half, especially the superheated climax, suffers by comparison. Young, spoiled Jeremy Stroeb returns from Europe and reluctantly begins investigating the un-solved murders of his parents, gradually entangling himself in a web of corporate intrigue. SEXY, SOAPY AND FUN early on, but contrivances make the resolution far from compelling.

The house is great. A typical bach style of the 1950's era with a lot of character, outdoor lawn space and an abundance of cooking equipment, books and games to use. The neighbours dogs are also incredibly curious and no problem at all!

We had a wonderful time at Harata Lodge and would definitely come back. The house was very clean and tidy and it was obviously well-loved. The selection of movies, books and board-games are definitely a plus, as well as the hammocks;-) I would recommend it to everyone!

A economy option however my partner and I have stayed at other properties around this price point and always been pleased this time however we were disappointed. The property was in need of a major proper clean cobweb, dead flies and thick dust on window sills, dirty dusty dead bug filled floor corners and rubbish was left on the front lawn. TV has no Freeview/sky box or dvd player so just static. Shower is VERY tricky didn't manage a hot one at all so left a day early

Lovely house with beautiful gardens. Awesome to be able to take a dog also. Unfortunate the neighbors made sleep a little disrupted both nights.

Kiawah Island Marathon has been on the calendar since October 25th, the day I decided to register on a whim, not drunk, 2 weeks before my initial goal race in Marshall, West Virginia on November 6th. Why?.. Hmm.. the WhyGuy himself ponders such absurdities.. the obvious question, why register for another marathon when you haven't yet run the intended race? I have no clear answer other than runner's run and I am a gluttony for punishment. Turns out the Result in Marshall recapped here "We are NOT Marshall," conveniently, I had some unfinished business for the Start Line in Kiawhat the heck was I thinking… The diagram to the right shows the new part of the anatomy that my running hobby has taught me.. I now have running to thank for my intricate working knowledge of the knee, shin, ankle, and butt.. or piriformis that is.
Butt I wasn't alone.. My neighbor and running friend Aaron Linz had scoped out the race after his attempt to break 2:40 this past October in Toronto, left him with an appetite to try once more before the New Year. I had been toying with the idea of racing more like Michael Wardian, a man who runs multiple marathons monthly and seems to require little to no down-time between races. It reminded me of some of the greats like Alberto Salazar, Bill Rodgers and Dick Beardsley who toe'd the line multiple times with no recovery. How can I compare myself to these legends? I mean, I've never even run with an Olympian, or have I? Stay tuned.
Coincidentally, I got a chance to ask Beardsley himself this past month at the Charlotte ThunderRoad Marathon Expo, "Why did you race so often and what do you think of the new generation of Professional Runners that only race sometimes twice a year? His summarized response was simple. Money. Back then they did not receive the amount of money, if any, for "appearance fees" or product endorsements. We spoke of Ryan Hall deciding to run the Chicago Marathon recently and his 400K appearance fee. Can you blame him? No, but I can hate him. Just kidding.
Conversely, Beardsley and the others had to win races to make money. The undeniable benefitting factor of this multiple-marathoning or repeated-racing was the invaluable experience. You cannot simulate a race in training he mentioned, and you only can learn from trial and error when it comes to tactics involving surges and race day strategies. So that brings me to my race.. not sure how.. but its time to get to the race.
This was another Marathon-induced Out-n-Back with a Family-Conscious tone as I was set to return in a matter of 27 hours door-to-door. We left Friday afternoon at 3:00pm and filled the car with Aaron, myself, & J-Mar. Who is J-Mar? J-Mar is Jason Martin, 32 year old Charlotte native and Running enthusiast. He is a coach for the Trinity School's girls XC team and a teacher of some subject, nothing too complicated I'm sure. Ha! j/k Jason.
Alarm set and Wake-up at 5:00am as I testified that would be the only 5:something that I would see on the clock the entire day because the race plan and my fitness was not indicative of anything below 6:00min pace, it never is really. Ready to go and on the Island with near 2 hours before the 8am start. We managed to stay entertained using the live camera feed from the start-line to the waiting area. We as in me, and entertained as in I didn't realize there was a big screen in the other room. The screen we saw was only about 32 inches in the lobby. Now imagine someone, not me, mooning this screen. D'oh!
Luckily, we were traveling with local running celebrity and 2012 US Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier Caitlin Chrisman, (See Red Run) as she was able to get us 'regular folk' into the Elite Runner tent. This is where the port-o-let has 2 ply-paper, the bananas come peeled, and no one over 160 lbs is allowed in the tent. A mere 30 feet from the start-line and heated – the feeling was 5 diamond fantastic! It was here that I bumped into Dane Rauschenberg, (See Dane Run) another running celebrity, as he was preparing for his 52nd lifetime half-marathon, somewhat significant coming from a guy that ran 52 marathons in 52 weeks in 2006.
Star Spangled Banner, saw Scott Kennedy off in the distance, high-fived Chase Smith and his father Christopher then Alice Rogers, some random CRC chants and we're off…
Settled in to a 6:30 pace after the 1st 2.5 miles ranged in the 6:10-15 neighborhood.. typical race, it feels like magic and super easy in the first miles and I go out like I'm late for a meeting or just missed the bus. Scott Kennedy, Rock Hill Strider/CRC Member, finally caught up to me and even mentioned, "Man, you went out kinda fast for just trying to run sub 3 hours." One day I'll learn. Scott has been running a lot of races recently and we had similar goals between 2:49 and 2:59 so we thought we'd run together. We jokingly remarked how easy it felt and how we would likely reminisce upon this fresh feeling in the later miles. Seems so silly now. It was near this point that I had a hot-spot forming on the ball of my right foot, but nobody likes a complainer so I kept this to myself for the time being. It was only mile 3.
At mile 6 or so I saw Alice Rogers and Justin Breland smiling and cheering us along. It halfway crossed my mind to stop and steal Justin's socks but I felt that the damage had already been done. We cruised along thru 8 miles steadily in the 6:25-6:30 range faster than anticipated but keeping the door open to a miracle sub 2:50!?! Reminds me of that SNL skit Really? with Seth and Amy.. Really?!? So your last long run was October 23rd and you are going for sub 2:50, Really? You've run 10 marathons and you still go out like a rookie, Really? Feeling my blister begin to take up more and more real-estate I backed off slightly and watched Scott pull away.
By mile 10, it was evident that the pain was only going to become so great and it couldn't get any worse so I had become accustomed to the slight sting every strike of the pavement.
The course is a double loop and mile 13 conveniently comes back to the start, the perfect storm of sorts for the quitter, or the guy that wants to bail. I couldn't imagine running another 13 miles on this incessant blister, however, nor could I imagine back-to-back marathons with a DNF (Did Not Finish). So I made a right hand turn instead of the left turn towards the music, chocolate fountains, laughter, recliners with grapes, and any other awesome image that popped into my head. Time to get to work.
Crossing the halfway timing mat, I realized I was stride for stride with a little lady that had tucked in behind me. I jokingly said, "It's a $20 fare to the finish," as I was blocking the headwind as we plodded along. She responded in an unfamiliar accent, "I'll give you a pair of shoes instead." When I asked where she was from she said, "South Africa," and when asked I responded, "New Jersey." From that point on I simply called her 'South Africa' and she tabbed me 'New Jeresey." Little did I know that 'South Africa' was actually a former World Record Holder and Olympian Track Star named Zola Budd. Only later did I find all of this out from my friend Jay Holder thru a Facebook post. Which, by the way, he should name his kid World Record, so he can say his son is World Record Holder. Am I right? Or perhaps, Olympic Record if he has twins. Sorry, you can leave anytime you'd like; the door is in the upper right hand corner.
Zola is widely known for the 1984 Olympic Finals in the 3000m where she inadvertently bumped one of the favorites Mary Decker in the closing stretch. See minute 2:04 below to better understand or knock the dust off the memory bank.
Apparently, she has kept on running and resides in nearby Myrtle Beach, but for right now she lives in my back pocket. So we chatted a bit and I asked her if she has ever run the Comrades Marathon, (the world's largest and oldest Ultra-Marathon, 56 miles) which is the only combination of that country and running that I could muster up for conversation purposes; she said next year will be her first. So there you have it Runner's World, breaking news from my little blog over yonder..
In speaking with my Grandmother today about the race, she asked if I had gotten any pictures with the famed runner and at first I said no, but after hanging up the phone, I thought back and distinctly remember several course photos taken with Zola and myself neck and neck. That will be a must-have photo for certain.
@ mile 16, I saw the digital clock. 1:45:xx, I did the quick math and thought 7 minute miles home would bring me about 2:55 or so, minus the .2 miles. Easier said than done. If you want a quick way to feel like crap in a marathon, start thinking about the finish with 10 miles to go. This time the out-n-back section was increasingly long it felt like but actually it was, they increased the turnaround point an extra 50m so the finish could be in the same place as the Half-Marathon.. you may say it's only 50m further in one direction and 100m total, but it was like someone had said, "Syke" and pulled their hand back from a handshake. I felt duped.
Plane was crashing down and my foot was going numb. I decided I wouldn't walk until I completed the out-n-back portion, this way the others I know wouldn't see me walking. Seems silly now, but it's what I was thinking at the time. And, if we really get into what I was thinking, I might mention that passing-out or feigning a pass-out move was high on the list of "ways out of this bad movie" but I did not want to deal with the paramedics if they insisted on taking me to hospital and charging me for ambulance services or helicopter fees.. I imagined I couldn't just say, "I was kidding guys," or "look I just needed a ride,"
So finally mile 21 or so I pulled up the breaks and was giving Jeff Galloway all kinds of credit and accolades for his ingenious Run/Walk method in marathoning. I walked for a bit, then pressed on and ran to mile 22 then walked for a bit more. This continued until the end of mile 24, I walked a total of 5 times. The interesting thing is, right when Zola would catch up to me and try to pass I would start my shuffle again and run by her. We were laughing back and forth. Around mile 24.5, Chris Page, of Charlotte and understudy of Mark Hadley passed me and gave me a nice, "C'mon Mike" which shook me out of pity party for a bit. Btw, he went on to an impressive 2:58:xx.
I said to myself, as sure as there is a God, there is a Finish-Line. Somewhere along the way you begin to doubt the whole existence of a finish-line, but it was good to remind myself of it and at Mile 25 the clock read 2:51:09. Oh Geez, just enough to make it interesting. All I needed to do was press it the last mile for a sub 3:00 marathon. Could I do it? Was anything left in the tank? I gave it a push but my blister was not cooperating, I had since invented a running style that rolled the outside of my right foot as to avoid the ball of my blister and this was not very efficient.
In the final turn I saw the clock at 2:59:45 but there was no sprint in me as was evident from the look in the children's eyes as they grabbed their mother's arms after looking at my face. I heard in the distacne, "Did you see…" I'd imagine I looked like a woman trying to give birth without an epidural. Each step was an increasingly awkward cringe and strain upon my marathoning mug. Done. 3:00:05 Ha! Perfect Irony, Murphy's Law of Marathoning, I walked just enough to miss a sub 3. Do'h!
I learned how to hurt. No doubt there will be a race when I get a blister again and I will draw from this experience as the time I didn't quit, which will serve as an assset for the future. Really bad medal though, horrible even, Really?? Kiawah.. I mean, Resort Hotel, Spa, 6 Golf Courses with a plastic hokey medal that resembles a Christmas Ornament, Really?? Oh well, hopefully they mail me the 3rd place age group award, my X-mas tree could use the help.
Results Here (scroll to the way bottom for Marathon).. Congrats to J-Mar who pounced a PR and squeaked into NYC next year in 1:22:xx, Caitlin with a PR and 3rd place Female in 1:18:xx and Scott Kennedy with an impressive PR 2:51:xx.

Personally I don't like to call MIA's. It takes time and is a little unnecessary. I prefer if people jsut look at the map and pay more attention. And half the time it's just someone who recalled and is coming back to their lane afterwards, so it can be more of a distraction rather than helpful. I mean, it's not hard ot glance at the map. I probably spend more time looking at that rather than the actual screen. I just hate when people are like "Duuuurrr its all your fault why you not call MIA blablabla" Look at the map instead.
Pizza on a Bun
I play solo/duo queue to prevent this problem... Most people are very "chillax" on the situation.
Blaine Tog
A team that calls MIAs is going to be way better than a team that doesn't call MIAs.
I mean, you should be careful about pushing anyway since their jungler is perma-MIA, but you also can't be expected to watch the other two lanes as carefully as the other players do.
If people aren't calling MIAs and you die, don't get angry, just say something like, "Would you please try to remember to call MIAs?" Raging at them doesn't help, and it's possible they just forgot that MIA calls were a thing they're supposed to do.
people should b warding as many bushes at top, top river, mid, bot river, and bot as possible. that's not an option. its something u have to do. a large part of having map awareness is having wards.
also, if u see the enemy (for no reason) run into the jungle, PING. if u cant spare the time to type, ping to warn cuz everyone can b aware of now many champs are in a lane but cannot b always aware of where the missing champ went.
what im trying to get at is that calling mia isnt a necessary requirement if ur lane is pushed hard or ur pushing hard, but warding and pinging is definitely required cuz that's what really saves ur teammates
Junior Member
Call MIA's "WARD" and Ping. "Wards are not only for the support" 75g is not much everyone should ward it will improve their game.
Queen Sejuani
Learn to have map awareness. Play smartly. If your team is fighting at dragon and you are top seeing the enemy Top opponent down there, then push your lane, punish him for going down there. (If, for some reason, you aren't fighting with your team at dragon.)
And it doesn't really matter anyways. Unless you push like a moron, you shouldn't die to random ganks anyways.
Besides, buy some wards, it'll make your laning easier. Everybody on your team should do so. Saying something like HURR SUPPORT Y U NO WARD is retarded

Just like people, each rabbit is unique.
For the happiest adoption, choose your bunny friend based on his/her personality, rather than looks or breed type.
Did you know... while small rabbits are "cute", many larger rabbits are calmer, gentler and don't need much extra space?
Don't overlook the big white buns with pink eyes, often called the "gentle giants" and considered the "golden retrievers of bunnies", because they tend to be friendly and calm.
If you keep your heart and mind open to meet bunnies of all ages,breeds, sizes and types you'll have the most fun and guaranteed to have the best chance of finding true love!
This beautiful handcrafted vase is beige with terra cotta brown and cream colored accents in a swirling pattern. Vase has a matte finish. Would make a beautiful accent piece for any home, and would be perfect for displaying dried flowers, or branches of the season. Vase is signed by the artist on the base. Each piece is unique and slight variations in size, glaze and smoothness is part of the beauty of artisan pieces. Artist wished to remain anonymous.

After many years of seeing and taking pictures of the wild albino
whitetail deer I thought I had seen it all but I was wrong. Suzy and
Kicker the Albino whitetail deer sisters were walking down the deer
trail side by side on a bright sunny afternoon. I always try to be
ready for whatever they might do and have my camera on rapid fire 6
frames a second, but being wild animals everything happens so fast
that you miss many opportunities. I noticed that they were getting
irritated with each other and all of a sudden they both reared up on
their back legs and tried to impress each other by dancing around on
their back legs to show who was the dominant one. They stood up for
only a couple seconds but I was able to capture several amazing shots
of them as they danced around each other. These pictures were taken
with a Canon 50D with a 100-400 zoom lens at 1600th of a second. I
was lucky there was a real dark background with all the sunlight on
the two white deer that the exposure turned out perfectly. All the
many hours I spend trying to get photos of these amazing and rare
animals is time well spent. Here are four photos of this amazing
display. And by the way OMG was said many times as I took these

MTVs most loved prank show will finally air tonight and what better way to hit-off the first episode than to punk country singer and Grammy award winner, Taylor Swift?
Ashton Kutcher won't be around to do the pranks himself but he's behind everything on set as the producer. Kutcher's minions include pop princess, Miley Cyrus and teenage heartthrob, Justin Bieber.
"Punk'd" has a history of embarrassing Hollywood's most loved celebrities. Though the show had quite a long hiatus, Ashton Kuthcer's prank show is finally back. A few sneak peek videos hit the web in the past few months of which include Miley Cyrus playing a prank on her own her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth and "Keeping Up with the Kardashian" star, Khloe Kardashian.
18-year old, Justin Bieber was also signed up for the show. While a few expected him to play a prank on his own girlfriend, Selena Gomez, as Miley Cyrus had done, Bieber "Punk'd" another female superstar, Taylor Swift.
By the looks of the sneak preview, everything did not go well for Swift but for the Bieber everything went exactly as planned. Poor, innocent, Swift thought she had blown off an entire wedding and by the looks of it she was just about ready to bawl it out.
"You're the worst!" screamed Swift. This reaction was what Justin had wanted.
"Basically, she's such a sweet girl so I wanted to like make her cry. So I wanted to think of something that would really do that. And she's so sensitive so I knew that if she thought she broke up a wedding... she was literally flipping out. She was like "This is not okay, there's people ... all of a sudden the bride's swimming into the shore,'" said Justin.
A few other celebrities fans should expect on the show would be Chloe Moretz, Diana Agron and Zac Efron. H
old on for just a few minutes more and get ready to laugh it out as "Punk'd" premieres tonight.

The M-410iB/140H high-speed palletizing robot is ideal for high-capacity production in bag and box palletizing operations. Offering a 308-pound (140 kilogram) payload capacity, the robot's slim arm and wrist minimize interference with tooling and other peripheral devices. Its compact size allows it to work in small spaces with low ceiling heights. FANUC Robotics America, 800-477-6268, www.fanucrobotics.com.
