CVNP Trail Series
Bills' Bad Ass Training
Running Bender
This time of year it's necessary to go on a few running benders to bank up endorphins in preparation for the dark cold days of November. Friday night, I made an impulsive decision to participate in the full moon night run--one of the park's final night runs of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park's trail running series. Bob and I arrived 45 minutes early to stand around in the dark, shiver, and try to figure out the convoluted rules under the high bright yellow light of an astounding Hunter October full moon. I hoped the shivering would help me digest the three pieces of pizza and Burning River beer I drank before impulsively deciding to go on a running bender. This was a 3 mile thing and tomorrow, just mere hours later, I was going to meet up with a big group and run a trial run of Bills' Bad Ass course, an arduous 50K course, made up of 6 loops of Perkin's Trail near Everett bridge. I didn't recognize many faces tonight, as this appeared to be a very different slice of the running community than I was used to. Debi loves this series, but I think it was anniversary date night. Melissa C. was going to come out and run too. The series is odd, as it can't be straight running...there are hoops to jump through, so to speak, which made me nervous.
I don't know what it is, but IQ points drain like water through a sieve, when runners don running shoes and head lamps and try to figure out rules. A smiley guy, ironically named Guy, stood next to the large poster and read the instructions, smiling while he talked, explaining to dumbstruck shivering runners bouncing up and down in the moonlight, "Run a loop of the 'endless loop' and then pick up either a green or red card from a spook which will tell you if you have to run the endless loop again, immediately, or later, after running the big loop." Huh? I stayed around for another reading to get it straight. I was feeling pretty stupid, but Joan C. couldn't understand it either and she's super fast and a teacher at that, so I chocked it up to runners getting excited, and dumb, to run in the moonlight. Pick up a card from a spook? I thought the terminology was interesting, and ghastly in-politically correct given that there wasn't a black face in the crowd while I envisioned burning crosses and hooded figures with axes. Pie plates marked the course with ghosts (I think this is better) posted at various shadowy twists and turns in the trail handing out cards listing instructions to do weird things, like 10 lunges, or 20 jumping jacks, or retrieve hard candy or chocolate at the finish, and so forth, before continuing the 3 mile moonlit journey through the night.
I suck at night trail running. Bad eyes and old lady fear of planting my feet fast and firm in that little nebulous beam of trail lamp light made me slow as all get out. I paid 15 bucks for a number, but I surely wasn't going to race this. Bob, predictably went out like a bat out of hell chasing the 20-something year old Perusek siblings. It was fun and festive, even though I finished in an embarrassingly slow time--and immediately wanted to head to the Winking Lizard because beer after a trail run is nothing short of divine. We talked running, relationships, and patience--Bob, Melissa, and I--and this group of 20 somethings you wouldn't think we'd have anything in common with, but do, because of running. Bob said he had shoes older than Brian, which I thought was a real hoot. They got carded and we didn't. Bob and I felt like we were chaperoning a group of kids after the high school dance.
With only five hours of sleep separating runs, and 8 hours since my last run, the sky still dark, and the moon obscured by thin gray clouds, I pulled into the Everett covered Bridge parking lot for part 2 of my October trail running bender. Chef Bill B., one of the Bills and race organizers was already in the Everett lot ready to run a few miles of the 50K course deviously devised of 6 loops of the muddy, notoriously hilly, and rooty swatch of the most bad ass trail in the whole park. We set out in the dark--Chef Bill, me, Bob, and a few other people I didn't recognize. We met up with Melissa and Brett just as we entered the loop since they started an hour earlier at 6. It's what's so cool about running a loop like this--people can start at different times, hook up, so running the same damn loop doesn't make you feel like a rat on a wheel when you have different people to run with. Trail conditions have been fabulous this fall--Mama Bear perfect--not too dry or too wet, a nice leaf cover to give a satisfying "swish-swish" as we ticked off the miles.
To keep things interesting, the Bills elected to shake things up this year by having runners run the course in reverse of last year, which was heavy on the downhills and ultimately hard on the quads, but fun. Now, we'll be running more up hill which will just be plain hard to do, but maybe better on the body later. The plan today was to do 20 miles, but already, I was feeling slow and heavy with the short night, the beer, and running just hours ago.
Coming in the lot again after five miles, a new group had just arrived at 8, which included a various Towpath Trotters like the Farley's, Darcy, and the other Bill--the notorious Wild Bill whom I haven't seen in ages because I'm such an early morning runner and Bill's...well....not. We had a group picture taken before heading out. We organized the redheads together on the end, since, like Mallory says, "we're all related anyway, right?" and headed out for another loop. Wild Bill is a fabulous story teller. He told us about his Idaho misadventure vacation with Celeste, where the single engine plane they were flying in, gave out, somewhere over the mountains of Montana. They landed, miraculously, but happened to to land in a remote area currently hemmed in by forest fires. They were told the only way to get out was fly out. Wow. Bill's wife, Celeste, is truly the ultimate woman. Bill says he's the luckiest man in the world to be married 35 years to his high school sweetheart, this sweet, tolerant, sexy, and most forgiving woman, that puts up with his adrenaline junkie ways, dragged, as she is on class 4 white water rafting trips without a guide, tumbled down rivers, jostled out of the boat, to stand sopping wet on the river bank, without shoes, by her man and life mate. Wow.
Bill told the story that illustrated his stubbornness and perseverance as a distance runner when he rolled his ankle so severely it blew out the tendons and would require surgery grafting of cadaver tendons to keep it from giving out and making him flop over like a rag doll. He got the surgery, eventually, but not before attempting Western States. He was signed up after all, the plane and hotel reservations made, and an ankle that made him flop over like a rag doll was not reason enough to cancel. He said he made it 40 something miles before his injury beat his spirit and forced him off the trail.
Listening to Wild Bill's stories, helped make the miles go by quickly, but after 3 loops of the Bass Ass course done, in uphillish reverse, I was fried. Bob's plantar's was acting up too. That's the bad thing about a loop course--easy to bail. I finished my running bender is grand fashion by going out to breakfast sandwiched happily tired and dirty between two Bills and a Bob at the Valley Cafe where Chef Bill generously treated. I got Eggs Benedict, home-fries, and listened to more Wild Bill stories. It was a fabulous running bender and I could now spend the rest of my weekend happily contented with my family. Life is good.

MONTVALE, N.J. — Union locals negotiating with A&P on a new contract said the retailer's latest proposal would result in "hundreds of layoffs" and rules that would subvert worker seniority. A&P, in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, is negotiating jointly with 13 local unions on a new contract to make the company more cost-competitive. Unions were strongly critical of A&P's first proposal and received a new offer late last week that was "not much different," according to Bruce W. ...

Old Heart: Poemsby Stanley Plumly
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A magnificent new collection from National Book Award finalist and Kingsley Tufts Award winner Linda Gregerson
In eloquent poems about Ariadne, Theseus, and Dido, the death of a father, a bombing raid in Lebanon, and in a magnificent series detailing Masaccios Brancacci frescoes, The Selvage deftly traces the "line between" the "wonder and woe" of human experience. Keenly attuned to the precariousness of our existence in a fractured world—of "how little the world will spare us"—Gregerson explores the cruelty of human and political violence, such as the recent island massacre in Norway and "the current nightmare" of war and terrorism. And yet, running as a "counterpoint" to violence and cruelty is "The reigning brilliance / of the genome and / the risen moon . . . ," "The / arachnids exoskeleton. The kestrels eye." The Selvage is the boldest evidence yet that Linda Gregersons unique combination of dramatic lyricism and fierce intelligence transcends current fashions to claim an enduring place in American poetry.
"The eighth gathering of poems from Plumly (Now That My Father Lies Down Beside Me) offers many beauties but few surprises. Onrushing, almost whispering, pentameters, divided into lyric meditations, depict the winters, summers, springs, snows, fogs, skies and greenery of Europe and of the American East Coast, where Plumly resides. We see 'a winter city, night city, streetlights/ blurred in mist' (Prague); 'glittering halves of oyster shells'; 'first crocuses and the lavender called redbud' blooming on a college campus; even, in one poem called 'Pastoral,' the 'complexities of leaves,/ the umbels, whorls, bracts, and involucres.' Plumly remains as much a poet of elegy as he is a poet of nature: odes and memorials to other poets, living and dead, show 'how we all change with time but don't.' Plumly can seem morbid, or bathetic, as in a sonnet called 'When He Fell Backwards into His Coffin,' about a corpse found in a bathtub; he can also seem content with mere prettiness, speaking nothing but 'Summer's/ language like sunlight on stone, light itself the stone.' Yet Plumly has admirers for good reason: few poets have sounded so often so comfortable at once with the recollections and strong emotions involved in autobiography, and with attention to a beautiful natural world. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Successor to James Wright and John Keats, with a marvelous ear for the music of contemplation."--Rita Dove
'Stanley Plumly\'s masterful eighth collection--wherein he confronts and celebrates mortality--was a finalist for the National Book Award in Poetry.\n
A collection of 35 new poems that will reinforce Rodney Jones's reputation as one of America's most versatile narrative poets.
The poems in Selvage, Linda Gregersons first collection since her Kingsley Tufts Award winning Magnetic North, allude to Milton, to the great myths of Ariadne, Theseus, and Dido, and include a magnificent series detailing Masaccios frescoes about the life of Saint Peter.
A new collection from a Kingsley Tufts Award–winning poet Imaginary Logicis a brilliantly expansive, deeply meditative, and at times wildly imaginative collection of poems that combines Rodney Joness distinctive storytelling ability, sharp social intelligence, and keen powers of observation in a book that is wistful, satiric, audacious, and remorseless.

"The Art of Heaven" opens with a parody of Dante and a down-home, twisted humor that Joness readers have come to rely on: "In the middle of my life I came to a dark wood, / the smell of barbecue, kids running in the yards. / Not deep depression. This nice hell of suburbs. / Speed bumps. The way things arent quite paradise."

By Mike Monroe
Others might recall only the ugly end of Stephen Jackson's two-plus seasons with the Pacers, but the Spurs swingman swears his time in Indiana was among the most important of his career.
Jackson, who scored 12 points in the Spurs' 101-79 victory over the Pacers at the AT&T Center, was traded to the Warriors midway through the 2006-07 season after an incident at an Indianapolis area strip club and a subsequent in-game confrontation with then-Pacers coach Rick Carlisle.
He calls it one of the most important times of his career.
"I think those two incidents I had in Indiana kind of made me grow up faster and get back to being a humble Jack and appreciate the game more," Jackson said. "I think a little bit more now before I react, when I'm on and off the court, from being there.
"But I think I learned my worth there. Going there and getting my first big contract taught me a lot about getting the confidence to be a good player and the guy I am on the court."
Jackson earned two technical fouls in the first three games but insisted he had not forgotten to think before reacting in those instances.
"I thought about those techs," he said. "I got fouled the second time (against Utah) and the other time, (Oklahoma City's Serge) Ibaka was running his mouth a little too much. I will never get disrespected by nobody. I'm going to go out a man. If I get disrespected, I'm going to get a tech. Point-blank."
Though NBA fines start at $2,000, Jackson isn't concerned.
"I've saved up a lot of money the last 13 years," he said. "I'm good. I'm a man first. Before you disrespect me, I'm going to spend some money. I ain't tripping on that. But you're going to respect me."
Manu feeling better: Though he made only 1 of 4 shots and committed four turnovers in 17 minutes against the Pacers, guard Manu Ginobili was delighted at how good he felt in his second game of the season. He had missed the first two games with back spasms.
"I felt better today than the previous game, physically," he said. "My back's not hurting, feeling better.
"I'm still out of rhythm. I haven't practiced with the guys in over two weeks. I need to play, to dribble, to pass. I feel inconsistent, not confident yet. That's the least concern right now. It's the fourth game of the season. We've got 78 ahead of us. My main concern now is being happy, and that's fine."

"promoting wellness through nature"
Welcome to the oilMD
Health News from Mother Nature
I'm Dr. James L. Geiger and, in recent years, I have dramatically improved the health of myself, my family, my friends and my patients, naturally with essential oils.
Nature's Most Powerful Medicines for Your Health
A Doctor's Prescription for Long-lasting Health
Within minutes of beginning to read my book, you'll learn that nature can work miracles if it's used wisely.
I've spent years researching nature's most powerful essential oils and aromatherapy for health and wellness. I'm absolutely convinced – as a health-conscious person and as a medical doctor and clinically certified aromatherapist – that these forms of supplementation using essential oils topically, aromatically by diffusion are wonderful. In some contexts, ingestion of certified pure oils consisting of therapeutically graded chemical compounds distilled from certain parts of plants. These food supplements are described as generally regarded as safe (GRAS) essential oils. These integrative modalites may work to provide wellness for you.
The Sweet Smell of Success reveals much data on the natural lifestyle you can adopt for a longer, healthier life. Best of all, these natural plant compounds, the essential oils, are wonderful to utilize consistantly throughout every day.
This isn't your average doctor's prescription: it's the natural way to your good health.

Every inch of this 16,000-square-foot, multilevel space exudes an imposing master-of-the-universe aura. Join the martini-swizzlers on the mezzanine, where plush semicircular booths offer the best views as well as a surprisingly intimate bar and a glass-enclosed cigar lounge. Tangy shrimp rémoulade or scrumptious (if skimpy) crab cakes set you up for the main event: a juicy, smoky porterhouse. Afterward, squeeze into a cab; you'll be too full to walk home.
