i will begin and hope to stay on course on a training schedule starting on the last week of june to not only complete the 1sit half, but have a distant time and be ready to do another one 3 weeks later
Well i got a phone call last night with one of the guys that has ran with me in our running group and in a few races together and said we can do this, so right now it is going to be a party of at least 3. Most likely today or this week confirming my registration for the race.
well...it is confirmed now...I am registered for the Half Marathon. I waited until today to see how my 10-mile race went and gauge if this was a real goal. After the race I do think at the pace I was running I could have did just 3 more miles, lol.
Yesterday was Day #1 of training. The plan said to do a recovery run, nice and easy. It was still probley over 80 degrees (the humidty seemed normal/high, also) and I did wait until after 7pm. Ran a route by my house that I knew the mileage, but was alittle hilly, instead of what the plan said to do (flat course). I did start out at a slower pace than normal and was 1/2 mile from home (where the massive hill is) and decided to walk up the hill. At the top, I started back running all the way back to the house. Total milage 3.5 miles, and was nice little workout. Could have been mentally alittle better, but made it through and will continue.
Last night #2
I usually go run in the mornings on tuesdays, but I was kinda tired from day #1, so I waited until the evening again. The plan called for a hilly workout, which is no problem to find where I live. I got done week my weekly golf league (9-holes) and changed and started. It started out ok, alittle better than day one. Again, like Monday, close to the finish, broke down and walked some and then picked it back up and finished out running back to the house. Logged my milage, and I thought I want over 4 and close to 5 miles, but it said just under 4. Just over a 10 minute pace, so it was disappointing in that i could have/thought I was doing better. On the positive side of it, I did go futher than Monday and it was back-to-back days of running in still warm and pretty high humidty weather. Mind set is even if I have been running at the most 3-times at week since the first of the year, seems like I am still along ways from being able to mentally complete a half.
this morning was day #3, did just over 5 miles, all running. It was on a hilly course also, that the group I run with does almost every thurday. At the corner that marks 2 miles, they turn on go on to complete the loop, I turned back to follow the plan. The plan said to tempo up after mile 3 for at least a mile. I did not know what my pace was before, but I knew where I would pick up the pace at. It is on a continual incline and I wanted to go all the way to the signal that is on the additional loop of the run. It felts like I did slow the pace alittle, but then picker it up some and felt strong when I finished.
Day #4, sunday morning, the temp was nice, but the humidty was up there. The schedule said that this was supposed to be a long run. Well I started running down the highway and turned to the golf course and ran the golf cart path and then right when I was about to finish the course, I walked. I turned down the road going away from the house, I knew that I had some milage, but nowhere near what I needed yet. Going along these little hills and inclines and turned to make my way to the square and then back up the big hill and home. I broke down couple of times and needed to walk some, but picked it back up and ran again. Walked as I was approaching the big hill, then sucked it up and started to run again. I got up half-way, before the hill won. Then, again once at the top, run back home. I felt like I good workout, then I stopped my time (52 mins., not a good sign). I mapped the run, just over 5 miles, at least 3 miles short, over a 10min pace. I was disappointed in not going futher and for the amount of milage I did cover, had to walk more than I usually do.
Day #5 (Starting week 2), early morning run, hilly roads, there were lighting bolts going across the sky. I thought I was going to be running in the rain, which would have felt great. The humity did seem very high (image that storms in the area, might mean moisture in the air). I did 4 miles and only broke down twice, which made me feel that I might be improving some. But still "having" to walk with only doing 4 miles is not where I should be/was/need to be. Will still keep getting out there, will try to do my best every time I am out there and I know it is a long process and I will do everything I can not to get injured in the process.
day #6, 5miles (techinally 4.91), most of the time under a 10 min. pace (total time 49:30), this was due to having a great running partner/mentor. We graduated high school together and the first time I saw him again was on my first day showing up to the running group this last fall. Even then, he made sure to run right beside me, as I am breathing heavy, I listen to him carry on with a conservation. He is such a fast runner, 2 weekends ago, he ran a 5k in 20 something, came in top 10 overall, while pushing a stroller. On our way back, I did break down and walk alittle bit twice, and he ran ahead alittle bit, but circled back and not only not wanting to quit with him running beside me and he making sure that I complete what I "need" to complete, I started back up quick. When we turned down our last street, we picked it up alittle more. It was good to be worked alittle harder, without really knowing that you were. He has seen so much improvement in me from when I started. I am the only "newbie" to last on these Thursday runs that we do. The area, no matter which direction, you will be dealing with hills. I always tell him, it is ok to push me, as in run at or under my race pace, instead of a tempo or normal workout (the plan said to run 5 miles at 45-90 sec slower that your goal pace), it is ok to have me chase you, this is practice and I need the practice for sure. I would really not know what to do or how I could re-pay him if I ran a half under a 10 min pace.
Day #7 and #8 (ending week 2, start week 3)
Saturday morning, I tried to wake up early enough to beat the sun and humidy. During the week, I have no problems, the weekend on the other hand, alot tougher. I got out somewhat early, but the sun was coming up and you could feel the heat already. Did 6 miles (the plan said 10), on a hilly highway. I do not think it was pretty by any means, but I got it done and I got a workout for sure. It could have been better, but it was the first time that I did the course all the way out and back.
This morning was ok, better than last tuesday. The plan said to do 5-6, i did 4 and half, but the humidy was again very high. I think the time was not the greatess, but it felt mentally better than when I did this course last week. The places I "broke" down last week, I was able to run through. The first 4 miles, I only walked once, so that was very good mentally.
Day #9, the day before I received an email from my running partner stating "have your running shoes on, we are going on a run." and that was it. I did not know how to react to the email, because it is normal for us to have our running shoes on and go run on thursday mornings at 5am. So I text another member of our group and ask should I be scared, and he replied yes, yes I should be. I replied back to the email asking what time to show up, normal or early (if "we" were going to go longer than normal) and got a message back stating that he might show up early to get in 3 miles in before 5. I was thinking about showing up early, but I was still tired and got a few more minutes of sleep. He did show up early and did 3 miles before the rest of us started. They took me on a 5 mile loop, with a few hills on the back in of the run. The only time I stopped was to loosen my right foot shoe. He made sure he ran beside me going up the big hill before we turned to head back to the park. Today was the first day of the training plan and first time at a distance of more than 3 miles that I did not walk at all. He noticed that and made comments that there was no walking at all today. When we turned on the road leading back to the park, we picked it up some. Then when we got to the enterence to the park, he said to burn it out, sprint to the parking lot (it is an up-hill driveway). I did, we started picking it up more and he was staying beside me and rounded the curve and I kicked it up some more and acted the same as I usually do in a race and left him. Not sure if he just shut it down or what, but it felt good to go that fast. We covered 5 miles and had a time of 51 mins., he was talking about taking me out on the same loop that we did last thursday and see if we can cut our pace to under 10min.
day #10--Monday morning, I did not do a long run over the weekend, unmotivated, hot weather/humidy in the morning at 7am already, so I just rested. Monday's weather felt ok when I first went outside, alittle cool, but humid. I knew that since I did not run saturday or sunday, I "had" to run monday morning. I decided to run through town and cover the route of a 5K race that I ran earlier in the year. I got the spot where I needed to turn right and go a block over for the turn around point, but got to the stop sign and caught my breath and turned around there. At the intersection coming back, there was some traffic, so I walked across and then I picked it back up. Got greeted by a dog (unchained or fenced), letting me know I was too close to his area. Happy that I just got a warning. Got through the square and almost to the ballfields and broke down, but made sure that once I got the bridge and started up the "hill" that I would be running. I did run all the way up the hill, was it still tough, of course, but I felt that I was little by little getting better. I walked once I got the to top and then got to the corner and run all the way by home. Total milage 4.5 miles, on a 10 min pace.
day #11--wednesday morning, I got up and took the dogs out to the backyard, was not motived to run at all, but knew since I did not run on my normal tuesday that I needed to get one in. The pavement was wet, what is that I thought, actual rain and it felt cool, there was still clouds in the sky. I cannot pass this up, and the mind went from I need to I have to. Stetched out and put the shoes on and started. The humidy was still high, but it was ok. Started running down the highway up and down the hills, going pretty good. Got to the 1st mile and almost got hit by a car, had to do the NFL running back cut to miss the front bumper. The driver was turning right onto the highway and only looked left for on-coming traffic before pressing the gas. I kept running and looked back and saw that he "said" sorry with his hands, I did not make any comment. Past mile 2, I did not know who was driving the little pick-up truck, but he was gonig the same direction I was and saw that he held his arm outside the window and put the thumbs up sign. That was nice that someone noticed me running. Not sure if they knew me or just a fellow runner or someone saying "hey, nice to see someone getting after it." Got to the interstate for my turn around and took a break and started back. Then the rain came, it was a good shower, I could really do nothing about it I was 3 miles from home. I was not going to complain what so ever though, as you have been reading before all the humidy and heat I have had to go through. Started back and a SUV came upon me and notice that the passenger was motioning me to more over more, as me running on the right side of the whiteline on the highway with no shoulder and them moving to the right was too much for them. Got to the 4 mile marker and turned down a dead-end street and walked some under a big tree. To catch my breath and let the rain dripp off for a bit. Started back and was past the 5 mile marker and broke down right after I got up the last real hill and walked some. Then regrouped and run back to the house, completely soaked (rain/sweat), but felt good, felt like still improving some.
Ok..Ok ...i am back....it seemed in my mind that I needed to take a mental vacation for a week.
So Monday morning came and Day #12 was getting done. Up and down the country road for 4 miles, humid still and it felt like i took a week off. It was pretty tough, had 2 break downs, but finished out and got it done.
Tuesday #13, same road same milage, but it felt like my legs said "yes, i remember what this running thing is again". Only walked once, but still very humid and tough. I keep pushing myself to get it done, over come the next hill, keep saying i am not really dying in this sauna. I still feel that I have a long ways to go to be ready for this race. I am hoping to get to run a 5k at Royals stadium the last sunday of August, where you finish at home plate. That sounds pretty cool.
Day #14 monday morning, another humid beginning of the day, I ran same road as last week and had a better time. It felt good, still felt like alot of hard work to get through it
Day #15 tuesday morning, I know that I did not just fall asleep last night, I was thinking about some possible good news later this week. Then once I got to my running road, I was already sweating in the car, before 5am. I knew this was not a good sign at all. Since I have just two months now, I have to keep going, keep getting out there and working my body and legs. I got out there and started and it felt bad, my legs felt tired today, as if they did just run 24-hours earlier. The time showed that I was alittle slower, but I got it done, that is all i can say about it today.
i will begin and hope to stay on course on a training schedule starting on the last week of june to not only complete the 1sit half, but have a distant time and be ready to do another one 3 weeks later

Braves welcome Twins for rare matchup in Atlanta
Consistent Correia opposes improved Teheran, trying to stick in rotation
The last time the Braves hosted the Twins in a game that counted, Atlanta took a 14-5 victory in Game 5 of the 1991 World Series at the old Fulton County Stadium.
Other than an exhibition game before the 2011 season, all nine of the teams' meetings since then have taken place in Minnesota, the last coming in '10. But that run will come to an end Monday night, when the Braves welcome the Twins to Turner Field for the start of a three-game series.
Minnesota comes in scuffling, having lost four of five games to close out a 2-7 homestand. The Braves had lost five of six before starting their six-game stand at Turner Field by sweeping a three-game set with the Dodgers.
The Twins' Kevin Correia, who will start against fellow right-hander Julio Teheran, is no stranger to Turner Field after spending the first 10 years of his career in the National League. He owns a 2.66 ERA in five games there, including four starts.
Correia (4-3, 3.35 ERA) has been Minnesota's most consistent starter this year, but has slid a bit in May, with a 5.71 ERA in three starts. He pitched into the eighth inning Tuesday against the White Sox, but gave up two of his four total runs before recording an out, losing out on what would have been his sixth quality start.
"I'm not trying to go out there just for the sake of going out for the eighth. I'm here to win games," Correia said. "I felt really good."
Teheran (2-1, 4.57) has picked up his performance of late, as he tries to solidify his spot in the rotation with Brandon Beachy on the comeback trail from Tommy John surgery. The 22-year-old has held the opposition to three runs or fewer in four straight starts, posting a 14-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 25 1/3 innings.
Teheran, who gave up two runs in six innings Tuesday in Arizona, has been getting more comfortable with his offspeed pitches of late, making more frequent use of his changeup.
"He had his changeup working [Tuesday]," Braves catcher Gerald Laird said. "He had his slider and curveball, and actually had his sinker working pretty well tonight, too. He's making adjustments in the middle of the game and he's making changes when he needs to. That's a good sign."
Twins: NL vets on the mound
• It just so happens that all three of the Twins pitchers in this series -- Correia, Mike Pelfrey and Vance Worley -- spent their entire careers in the NL before this season, with Pelfrey and Worley pitching in the NL East. None has experienced much success at the plate, with respective batting averages of .116, .098 and .153, but at least they aren't new to grabbing a bat.
"It just worked out that way that they're going in there," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "But they know what they're doing. They've been there and done it. They're all good and fine and can handle the bats. I had a chance to watch them out there, so that's good. They know what to do on the bases, so it works out good."
• Second baseman Brian Dozier and left fielder Josh Willingham both sat out Sunday's game against the Red Sox amid their recent struggles. Ryan Doumit also was out of the lineup after catching all of Saturday's nearly four-hour contest.
Dozier is hitting .103 (3-for-29) with 10 strikeouts in his last eight games. Willingham is at .100 (4-for-40) over his past 11 contests.
Braves: Contact an issue for Francisco
• Juan Francisco, platooning at third base with Chris Johnson, has been striking out at an elevated rate during his recent slump. The left-handed hitter has fallen victim to the strikeout in seven straight at-bats and nine of his last 10.
In his past five games, Francisco is 0-13 with 10 strikeouts. He has struck out 39 times this season, accounting for 40.6 percent of his plate appearances. Last year, he struck out 34.1 percent of the time.
• Johnson, on the other hand, is 9-for-16 with a double and a home run over his past five games. He leads the Majors hitting .435 (20-for-46) against lefties, despite faring better against righties throughout his career.
Worth noting
• The Twins are 5-4 all-time against the Braves in regular-season play.
• Justin Upton easily has the most experience against Correia of any Braves player, going 14-for-42 (.333) with four doubles and a home run in his career.

Corbin aims to become Majors' first 10-0 pitcher
Lefty to battle hot-hurling Turner in opener vs. Marlins
Advanced metrics say that Patrick Corbin has supplied 2.1 wins above replacement this season.
But the Diamondbacks, 37-32 through Sunday, have won all 13 games Corbin has started.
The 23-year-old lefty has a chance to be the first 10-0 pitcher in the Majors -- and the first Arizona has ever had -- as he takes the mound Monday as the D-backs begin a three-game series with the Marlins
Settling into his sophomore season, Corbin is 9-0 with a 2.28 ERA and 1.07 WHIP while opponents are hitting .224 off him. He's allowed just four homers in 86 2/3 innings.
He's struggled of late, though, compiling a 4.44 ERA over his last four starts.
The Marlins will be looking for their first win in the opening game of a road trip. They've lost the first game of a road trip all five times this season.
Jacob Turner, who has been remarkable in three starts with the Marlins, recording a 1.80 ERA and 1.05 WHIP, will be looking for his second win.
"Obviously, with a six-game road trip, you want to start it off with a win," he said. "The Diamondbacks are playing well right now, so it's just a matter of me keeping the team in the game and hopefully we can score a few runs and scratch out a win."
A first-round Draft pick by the Tigers in 2009, Turner was a key component in the trade that sent Anibal Sanchez to Detroit. One of the rare pitchers to have success despite a low strikeout rate, Turner has posted a 3.41 ERA in more than 160 innings at Triple-A.
Now he has a chance to prove himself at the next level.
"We've all been humbled in this game," he said. "All you've got to do is think back to one of those times when you've been humbled before and that keeps you working hard and striving to do better every day."
Marlins: Stanton's presence felt
The Marlins put up seven runs Sunday and have scored at least five in four of their last six games. The difference? Giancarlo Stanton's return to the lineup.
Since his return, Miami has averaged 4.33 runs per game.
Stanton is 9-fo-24 with two homers and seven RBIs.
"He looks confident," manager Mike Redmond said. "He definitely looks different than he did in April, and I think that's confidence. He feels good. He's taken some good swings. He's seen some results. Like any player, that breeds a lot of confidence, and in turn, guys play better."
Diamondbacks: Montero coming along
The D-backs would certainly enjoy the continued production of Miguel Montero, who hit .200 in April and .198 in May but has a .300 average in June.
Montero, who has hit at least 15 homers in three of his last four seasons, hit his fourth homer of the season on Saturday. It was his first home run since May 10.
"I feel pretty good at the plate and feel more comfortable," he said. "I'm seeing the ball better. Obviously, you can see I'm hitting the ball better."
Worth noting
• Logan Morrison, who missed the three games against St. Louis due to back tightness, could be back in the lineup on Monday or Tuesday at Arizona. Morrison fielded ground balls and tested his back while doing baseball activities on Sunday.
• Juan Pierre owns a 12-game hitting streak. He is batting .385 (20-for-52) during the streak with two doubles and two triples. It is his 15th career hitting streak of 12 or more games. He has 17 hitting streaks of 11 or more in his career.
• As of Sunday, Gerardo Parra had more hits (86) and doubles (23) than any other outfielder this season. He saw a 10-game hitting streak come to an end after going 0-for-3 on Sunday.

News Print v3.1.2
This is the version 3.1.2 of the News Print theme that has had to major incarnations before. This maintains the same kind of layout, except adds functionality for a fifth column in. Instead of having just one main sidebar as before, this theme has a wider sidebar that is split into two (so counts as two). There is the choice of having two main content columns, or three.
This theme is gravatar-ready, widget-ready, xhtml/css-validatable
There are several screenshots below showing various different configurations of the News Print v3.0 WordPress Theme in action:
To see the News Print v3.1.1 theme in action and test it out a bit more, see the testbed at Balanced News Blog or use the theme switcher at the bottom of this page.
There is a support forum for this theme available, where you can ask any questions regarding the theme, ask about configuration options, and generally get support on the theme. Alterations other than minor ones will be charged at the normal rate.
Examples of the theme in use on a site:
To purchase this theme navigate to the bottom of this post and add to the shopping cart – it costs £29.95 (approximately $45 at current conversion rates).
Is £29.95 (~$45) a fair price?
Consider that if you wanted a theme written for your blog you are looking at paying more than $1000 – some can get pricier than that. That's not a bad price then when you think you are getting a professional theme that is very flexible, and suited to a magazine-style blog ideal for displaying large amounts of information in a small area. Not to mention that I continually upgrade the theme and support it. Even if you didn't go to an accounting college or business school, you would have to agree it is a good deal.
Are you available for custom work?
I am available for all kinds of custom blog design work, including modifying this theme further for you. I charge by the half hour and if you contact me I will talk you through the fees and answer all the questions that you have.
Can I resell this theme?
No. This theme is developed with sweat and tears. If you purchase it, it's for you to use it, not to resell it.

Gemstone Education
Coloured gemstones are generally cut to maximise the beauty of their colour. To recognise quality in the cut of a gemstone, there are several points to consider. What to Look ForA good cut showcases the gemstone's colour, diminishes its inclusions, and exhibits good overall symmetry and proportion. Because gemstone colour can vary, there are no hard geometrical standards when it comes to maximizing brilliance or colour. Gemstones, especially rarer ones, are sometimes cut for size without regard for their colour. For example, when corundum varieties such as sapphire and ruby are cut for maximum weight rather than beauty, they may display banded colours or streaks. Blue Nile sells only the finest quality, hand-selected coloured gemstones.
Gemstone CutLook at the gemstone in the setting and ensure that all the facets are symmetrical. An asymmetrically-cut crown indicates a gemstone of low-quality. In all cases, a well-cut gemstone is symmetrical and reflects light evenly across the surface, and the polish is smooth, without any nicks or scratches. These are the characteristics that Blue Nile jewellers look for when selecting our gemstone jewellery.

Part Three: Just What is a Dry Drunk?
After the Al-Anon meeting where I first heard the term dry drunk, I began to investigate what it meant. When I had first been led to start attending meetings, I actually believed that overindulgence in alcohol was an alcoholic's major problem.
I was so uninformed, that I thought if a person quit overindulging, then all the attendant problems would magically fall away. Boy, was I in for a surprise. Mike, my former boyfriend of 9 months, hadn't had a drink in over 5 years. Yet his behavior was unpredictable, extremely cold, and too often, angry.
Much of his anger was related to his time in Vietnam. He had shared with me that he'd gotten very good at killing. I think he bore a lot of shame over that. To make matters worse, his family were all drinkers. When he finally hit bottom and went to AA, he had to abstain from being around his family. It was all so very sad.
Yet I wasn't willing to subject myself to an angry person again (combat vet or not) for the long haul. I had enough of my own baggage to deal with at the time.
Here are some thoughts from an article on Dry Drunk Syndrome by Buddy T. from the About.com website:
"Unfortunately when many former drinkers go through the grieving process over the loss of their old friend, the bottle, some never get past the anger stage … whether they realized it or not, they began the stages of grieving—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—the same stages people go through when they have a great loss in their lives or have been told they have a terminal illness."
Learning about the many aspects of alcoholism has opened my eyes to the harsh realities someone with an addictive personality, or predisposition to becoming alcoholic, must face.
As I heard many times in meetings, "There, but for the grace of God, go I."I'm so grateful that I do not have the problem myself. I have much empathy for those who do.

Look, Daddy! I'm filling it back in!!
We got nearly two feet of snow yesterday and today. It's waist-high on the little one and more than knee-high on the big girl. All day they begged to go outside and we deferred because the wind was also whipping about and unlike them, we don't own snow pants and the snow levels are higher than the tops of our boots. But after nighfall, we finally ventured out.
For tomorrow, we've promised we'll build snowmen. And then on Monday we'll officially say hello again to winter.
We'll be needing more hot chocolate.

If you ask me, the bride's dress alone is a muse for a fabulous fête. And while it did make its way into several pretty details (ahem, that ah-mazing cake!)... the beauty of Kiawah and the architecture of the venue provided much of the inspiration for this gorgeous South Carolina soirée.

Says cream..more like lotion it dries up so fast. Then there's the lovely factor that it's clumpy when rubbed in hands..like its sat out in hot and cold weather a lot. Not happy with this product.
the pump did not do well but i love the cream. i use it on the whole familly
I have used several lotions over my career. For the past several years I have used Biotone Dual purpose, which by the way I consider just about perfect. I wanted to try this because isn't coconut the new vogue? Of course it is. I have to say it's not bad. Ever so slight of a scent but not always. Possibly temperature dependent. It has a nice feel on my hands although slightly watery in the beginning but moves out of that pretty quickly. I have noticed it soaked on veryfa st which required me to apply more often than usual to keep any kind of glide and not pull the skin too much. This means that I seem to use much more of this than the Dual Purpose on each client. Not good. Gone before I knew it. Also has a very very slight greasy feel when you touch the crime but again, disappears fast. It's very nice and I like it a lot. I may keep some on hand for those that ask for coconut but I think I'm sticking with the Dual Purpose (Biotone). It still works just about perfect for my taste.
I love this product! I was hoping for the hint of coconut but it has not a trace of coconut smell.
I've been using Biotone's Dual Purpose creme exclusively for over a year but when I saw that Bon Vital made a creme with fractionated coconut oil (very good for the skin), I just had to try it. This product is wonderful! It gives off just a tiny hint of coconut aroma, which is delightful for the therapist. It's not quite as thick as Dual Purpose, but I find it's a better option for client's with a lot of body hair since I don't have to apply as much as I would of the Dual Purpose.

I live up north and have a home in Florida. I purchased one up north and loved it.. I went from a 3 putter to a 2 putter per hole. When I got down to Florida I purchased another. I have several friends that have purchased them as a result of using mine.
White paint started to peel off the putter head on day two of use
Good putter. Still getting used to it, but I like how easy it is to align.
This putter is comparable to more expensive putters used on the tour. The putter has a weighted head that promotes a smoother, more rhythmic stroke and the alignment line on the top of the club helps you hit the line more accurately. This is a great buy, you won't regret it!
Liked it so much that I bought another for my brother

Dear Ronald,
Your Member Directory profile reveals you have solid academic degrees in operations management and business administration. You also have experience in long term care facilities in the not-for-profit and for-profit contexts. One would predict you have developed a strong set of competencies to equip you to transition into some aspect of hospital administration from the sub-acute realm with little or no additional academic preparation. What is key is the term "some aspect." In your market area, for example, Sibley Hospital has a connection to a long-term care operation. Presumably, you could enter into a similar general/acute care hospital level system working in the sub-acute subsidiary. Or, you might take on leadership of, or within, a comprehensive senior services product line for a hospital or hospital system. From such a role, you might be able to grow by assuming leadership of additional product lines. If your ultimate objective is a C-suite level position with a general hospital or hospital system the challenge would be much greater. Talented as you may be, your competition for higher rungs on the general management leadership ladder will consist of executives who are already on the hospital management executive track whose earlier positions will have included directly relevant experience and accomplishments. If you are remarkably entrepreneurial and you have successes to demonstrate that (there is a gap in your experience from graduation to your role in the facility in Georgia that might demonstrate such competence) you might rise on the strength of entrepreneurial contributions you can make. Perhaps the best way to make a transition to a general management hospital administration track would be entering through acceptance into a hospital system's executive development program. HCA has, for example, a COO development program. Another avenue would be to compete for and succeed in landing a postgraduate administrative fellowship. Those are highly competitive and you may not resemble the typical successful candidate, but the challenges in hospital operations are mounting so there may be a somewhat remote chance of prevailing. Getting another master's degree would not likely make your competitive challenges much easier, if at all. You might marginally improve your knowledge of the hospital and healthcare field, but you would not be altering the competitors you'd be up against. If C-suite is not the goal, you might get a master's that makes you a functional specialist, e.g., fiancé, IT, HR, and enable you to do a career makeover with perhaps a start as more than at the entry level.

Do these people have absolutely no direction? What the hell is going on there?
First they adapt GNOME 2 with a patchset from hell. Then they adopt GNOME3 elements, but write their own interface called Unity. Then they design a 2d look-alike called Unity 2D written using Qt. Then they drop it. Now they are rewriting Unity in QML.
It must be hell for their developers. Tomorrow someone might come in and say "Forget it boys, today we're rewriting everything in C# and FLTK". Who makes these decisions?
