Jiboner Itihash - Life histories from rural Bangladesh - জীবনের ইতিহাস
In 2007 SDRI coodinator Peter Davis led a team of researchers from DATA Bangladesh in conducting 293 life history interviews in eight districts of Bangladesh. The households selected were a subsample of a CPRC-IFPRI-DATA longitudinal study of poverty dynamics in rural Bangladesh which covered a total of over 2000 households from 14 districts and has been running since 1994. With assistance from Louisa Frears and Rowena Janes, Peter is preparing (rewriting, anonymising and redrawing diagrams for publication) a set of life histories so that they can be used by other researchers. We are starting with 20 life histories which are available here.
All names of people and villages have been changed in the life histories to protect the anonymity of our research participants. District names remain unchanged.
More information on methods used to conduct the life histories.

Participating by remote access from New York City, Peter Coy talked about his cover story, "Is the Jobs Panic Justified?" For the story, Coy talked with several economists about the recent rise in job losses and factors that will determine job creation. On Thursday, the Labor Department reported that initial applications for jobless benefits in the week ending Dec. 6 rose to a seasonally adjusted 573,000 from an upwardly revised figure of 515,000 in the previous week. Mr. Coy responded to telephone calls and electronic mail. close

text: Now Cleveland this week. Weather it's Anderson or Quin, I don't think it really matters. What we need to keep in mind is the Browns lost last week to a pretty good Dallas team. I thought they played well. With the Adams situation of their FS being out with a concussion we should have a field day with Ward and Holmes, but what's the deal with Ben's shoulder? I'd love to see the Burgh stomp them, but I think it's going to be closer than most expect it to be.

Camden Police and New Jersey State Police investigate the scene of a fatal shooting at the intersection of Royden and Roberts streets on Thursday. It was the city's third murder in less than 24 hours.

At the close of a week where four city men died from gunfire and almost twice that many were injured, religious and community members are coming together today to develop fresh strategies to quell the rampant violence.
In a two-day seminar that concludes this morning, experts in violence-reduction initiatives are meeting to teach local leaders methods to promote peace through collaboration and social change.

Microsoft Reveals Cloud Computing System, Azure, eBay Partnership
Microsoft's Partner Conference for 2010 is just getting underway, and already some big news is coming out of the event: MS is officially revealing its Azure cloud computing platform, and noting big first-run customers like eBay and Dell will be using it.
We all know that cloud computing is one of the next big things in computing—it'll transform how we use everything from desktop to media PCs to smartphones, and it's been enabled by ubiquitous broadband and 3G wireless connectivity. MS knows it too, and it has already indicated it's keen to embrace cloud computing tech by transforming part of its Office 2010 suite into a cloud-based system. This isn't enough, though, and unless MS quickly pushed forward with the tech to support other cloud-based businesses, it risked losing big marketshare to Amazon and other competitors. During his speech at MSPC, CEO Steve Ballmer even remarked that we're at "an inflection point in technology history" with the arrival of cloud computing, which "creates tremendous value" for customers and "massive opportunity" for MS.
One tool for enabling cloud computing is the Windows Azure platform, which lets clients create a public or private "service platform"—meaning you can run apps on MS's cloud servers, and use them to powerfully boost your business. Eduify was one of the first test customers of the service, and it resulted in a suite of apps to help students write their essays at home, in school, or wherever.
But the fact that eBay is going to be one of the first, big official customers is huge news for Microsoft. As a pilot test, eBay's been running its page for iPad listings on a public Azure platform. Now it's going to embrace the cloud apps more fully, and will be linking Azure into two of its data centers. The idea is to do the usual business-speak nonsense of improved "agility" and "efficiency" and "optimization," but really what it means is that eBay's burden of self-owned computer power will be reduced. It may even speed up some of the way eBay's systems work, and that can only benefit eBay's millions of online auction users. Should other large businesses adopt the platform, Azure skies ahead indeed for Microsoft.

Microsoft's Windows Azure's cloud computing offering is a clear strategy to adapt to the technological shift and it's near tipping point. It is good to see Microsoft planning to open up its popular software like Ms Office suite to the cloud which will quantify the users and enterprises getting hooked on to cloud platform while deriving other salient values of availability, scalability, optimization cost and above all the reduced levels of stress, anxiety and complexity when it comes to managing the technology.
In order to get small companies to use this they need to make the jargon simplier. Most people do not yet understand hosting in a cloud and reading through microsofts signup page there are just way to many options and jargon. Tell me how much it cost per gb transfer and let me compare it to my current service.

LITTLE DUCK CREEK. Little Duck Creek rises three miles southeast of Girard in northeastern Kent County (at 33°21' N, 100°37' W) and runs south for twelve miles to its mouth on the Salt Fork of the Brazos River, four miles southwest of Jayton (at 33°13' N, 100°38' W). Several small reservoirs, including the Jayton City Lake, are found along the creek. For most of its course the stream traverses rugged ranchland. It travels through an area of moderately steep slopes and locally high relief, surfaced by shallow to moderately deep silt loams that support mesquite and grasses.

The best news last week in South Georgia centers around a group of well-deserving citizens. And good news it is!
When Baconton Mayor Annette Morman ran for office, she made a promise to do everything within her power to provide senior citizens with activities. Morman was elected as the first female mayor for the small Mitchell County town during a special election in mid-March of 2011. By September, the program for senior citizens became a reality. Morman began a program which invited senior citizens to drop by twice a week for a variety of programs including, but not limited to, arts and crafts, Bible study, exercise classes, sewing, games and food. Trips have been taken to the farmers market in Thomasville, the Flint RiverQuarium, the Albany Mall, the Civil Rights Institute and to see a movie. Various volunteers speak once each month on subjects of interest. Last week, Mayor Morman and a host of other folks celebrated the program's one year anniversary, now located in the community's old library building. Over the course of the first year, more than 2,000 have been counted in attendance. When consideration is given to the fact that Baconton has a population of just over 900 total, that is an amazing turnout. Thank you, Mayor Morman, for caring about the people of your community and for actually keeping a campaign promise.
It was to a full house at Phoebe East that a seminar was held last week to inform senior citizens, as well as their family members and caregivers, of the rights that belong to the aging population. It is an unfortunate truth that those that have lived long often become targets for all sorts of abuse. Among the issues discussed at the forum were neglect, physical abuse, scamming and fraud. Seniors sometimes aren't even aware of financial theft until it becomes a serious issue and more times than not, are afraid or ashamed or simply unwilling to report problems. Hopefully those in attendance went away with a renewed sense of importance and the belief that there are people that can and will help them in difficult times. Keep an eye out for the elderly in your family, neighborhood and church as they deserve to live as comfortably and peacefully as anyone else-maybe even more so.
When Kay Hind went to work for the SOWEGA Council on Aging in 1968, she was a long way from being eligible for the services provided by that agency. Now, 44 years later, Hind is still a spry lady and one with a longtime dream just about to come true. A couple of dozen years into her work with senior citizens, Hind began talking about a new center that could serve that population and she never gave up on that dream. In the very, very near future Hind plans to call a press conference to announce a formal groundbreaking of the Life Enrichment Center. In addition to becoming home to SOWEGA Council on Aging, the facility will be available for groups and organizations to hold functions. There will be space for 500 people, a commercial kitchen, a gymnasium and much more. This plan did not come to fruition overnight and it has taken a lot of fundraising and penny-pinching to get this far. Ribbon-cutting on the new center should be about 18 months in the future, not so long for someone that has waited 20 years already. Albany residents, young and old, owe a lot to Kay Hind and her unwavering belief in this project. This "Thumbs Up" is for you, fine lady.
FryarTuk 3 years, 2 months ago
These two ladies appear to have a lot on the ball. Congratulations to Mayor Morman on her good work.
I personally know Kay Hind and can attest to the incredible nature of that lady. She has irrepessible drive and stamina. Her life's motto - veni vidi vici!

Re: Australians - heat and fire
I don't have air-conditioning either. My house is very hot and I won't be able to go outside when it cools because their is too much smoke around.
There has been several different temperatures given for max in Hobart today - 40.9, 41.3, 41.8 and 42 - so I am not sure which one is correct
I did here that just before the fire front went through at Dunalley a temperature of 54C was recorded. Usually weather station don't survive fires going through so they are saying that this is an important reading as it shows the temperatures that fire fighters have to work in.

***This review contains mild spoilers (the ending is strongly hinted at)***
Whether big budgeted or operating on a shoe string I ask only one thing of a drama: Give me characters I can believe. I don't have to like them (Ethan Edwards The Searchers, Christopher Cross Scarlet Street, Travis Bickle Taxi Driver) but I do have to believe they are real breathing people, not phantasms created by a clever screenwriter. Kes gives me characters I can believe and then exceeds expectations. In fact, I have a hard time convincing myself there were actors involved at all. I've looked it up on IMDB and sure enough, there are actors playing the parts (David Bradley, Brian Glover), a writer (Barry Hines) and a director (Ken Loach). But I think it's all a ruse. You can't convince me that someone didn't take a camera into Barnsley, England in 1969 and simply film students, teachers and surrounding locals then edit it into a movie. That's how Kes feels.
I could give Kes a plot summary review but there wouldn't be much to say. It follows Billy Casper, local Yorkshire youth, as he wanders through school and life, finds a kestrel chick, trains it and improves his bleak outlook. But this film is wonderful for two things in particular: 1- It is meticulously observed on a personal level that gives it a feeling of absolute authenticity, and 2 - It is among the most unpretentious and unsentimental movies I have ever seen. Watching Kes made me feel (whether true or not) that films have forgotten how to observe a story instead of telling it. By that I mean rather than forcing us to feel or react in a certain way due to musical cues or camera set-ups the movie simply places the camera midground, excises the music and observes the action. I have nothing against telling the story, but I have seen enough stories like Kes ruined by a director intent on telling us what to feel rather than trusting that the story will take us there.*
Here is the tagline for the film: They beat him. They deprived him. They ridiculed him. They broke his heart. But they couldn't break his spirit. Whoever came up with that tagline didn't understand the film at all. It's not that it's not true, it's that it's true in the wrong way. Sure they couldn't break his spirit, but that's because he had none. He was resigned to a life of misery and despair, eventually relegated to working in a coal mine. His brother Jud works there and takes out his frustrations (physically) on Billy. Both of their lives seem pointless and hopeless and they have a mother who couldn't seem to care less.
Throughout the film Loach gives the viewer an insightful look into the failed social systems in Billy's life. His public school and career counselors all fail Billy spectacularly. Loach maintains a cinematic distance from all of this, employing mainly long and medium shots, only closing in on Billy and Kes as their relationship develops. And the washed out look of the film makes no shot pretty but not falsely deglamorized either. There is a greyness all around that befits the environment and story, if not the mood of the film.
And then there is the ending which on first viewing, and second and third, is jolting. This may sound like I'm trying to drive you away from the film rather than towards it, but this has to be one of the bleakest endings on record. And yet, there is a robust strength to the ending that resonates with the viewer long after the film is over. The ending is not bleak because of what happens but in how it is presented. What happens at the end has happened a dozen times in other movies with animals and if you haven't seen it you can probably guess what it is. What you can't guess is how it is presented or how it comes about. It is presented in such an offhand matter of fact manner with such a complete lack of goopy strings, of lingering close-ups or of a protracted conclusion that one walks away from the film feeling that one has just viewed the most horrible moment in an isolated child's life callously recorded for someone's home movie. It is unsentimental in the extreme.
I had not seen Kes when I did my original Oscar picks for the late sixties. Had I seen it before then I may well have chosen it as the Best Picture of 1969. In a recent British Motion Picture poll of the greatest British films ever made, Kes made it into the top ten, at number seven. The six films ahead of it were Kind Hearts and Coronets, Great Expectations, The 39 Steps, Lawrence of Arabia, Brief Encounter and The Third Man. I saw that list before seeing the movie and wondered what all the fuss was about. Why was a simple kitchen sink drama (a genre I admittedly love) ranked so highly along side these titans of British cinema? Now I understand. Completely. Hell - I'd rank it higher. See Kes if you haven't already. Then you'll understand too.
*(ahem, cough, Steven Spielberg, cough, cough).

4 charged in N.C. slaying of Uniontown Guardsman
Police in Fayetteville, N.C., have charged four men in the murder of a Uniontown National Guardsman who was shot when a robbery erupted during a party.
Two suspects are in custody in the slaying of Spc. Danny Ray McFadden Sr., 28, who was serving at Fort Bragg, police said. Warrants have been issued for two alleged accomplices.
Anthony Dwayne Hair, 25, and Thomas Wayne Carley, 24, are being held without bond in McFadden's shooting, which occurred during a house party on Westhill Drive in a residential neighborhood about 3 a.m. Monday, according to Lt. Todd Joyce of Fayetteville police.
There were about 15 people at the party when three men pulled out weapons and robbed the rest, according to police. Additional details have not been released. Another man who was shot at the party survived, the Fayetteville Observer reported.
Hair and Carley are charged with first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon and robbery with a dangerous weapon, police said.
Carley surrendered to police on Friday afternoon. Police apprehended Hair on Thursday.
Warrants have been issued for Darrick Lynn Grissom and Antonio Terrell Johnson, both 24 and of Fayetteville, Joyce said.
McFadden, who attended Uniontown Area Senior High School, was a member of the Florida National Guard serving on active duty with the HHB 2nd Battalion 116th Field Artillery out of Lakeland, Fla., at Fort Bragg.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends and unit members of Spec. Danny McFadden," said the Facebook page of Bravo Bulldogs WTB on base. "Our hearts hurt from this loss. Rest in Peace, Danny. You will be missed by many and we will never forget you."
Another post said he was "a genuine young man."
McFadden was born on Aug. 2, 1984, in Uniontown. Funeral arrangements will be announced by the Dearth Funeral Home in New Salem.

Softball-sized rock of meth reported at Springfield house
Police seized about 30 grams of methamphetamine and thousands in cash from a house on Charing Road after receiving a tip from a confidential informant. Court documents say the search was initiated after the informant told a Springfield police detective he saw a softball-sized rock of meth in the home during a visit. The informant told police John Morris was selling $8,000 to $15,000 in meth per week. In the home, police found about 30 grams of meth along with marijuana, ammunition and electronic devices, and more than $3,000 in cash.
Stay away from West Bypass and I-44 until tomorrow evening
I-44 at West Bypass will be closed starting at 10 p.m. today so the west half of the West Bypass bridge over the interstate can be dismantled. That section of road may not reopen until 6 p.m. tomorrow. People driving through Springfield on I-44 will be urged to detour to the south of town -- westbound I-44 traffic along Route 65, Route 60 and Route 360. Drivers using West Bypass will not be able to cross over I-44 but will be directed onto the I-44 ramps. The east half of the bridge was torn down and replaced in September. The total project is scheduled to be finished at the end of May.

Woman eulogizes husband, sons who died on hike
The widow of a man who died with two of their young sons during a Missouri hike told fellow mourners that she grapples for words but that her family knew she loved them. The three went missing last Saturday during a hike on the Ozark Trail in southeast Missouri's Reynolds County. They were wearing only light clothing when they set out, but temperatures rapidly dropped as that day wore on and heavy rainfall pounded the area. Authorities say the family members died from hypothermia.

Conway, SC (Sports Network) - Joab Jerome's layup with two seconds left in
overtime propelled Winthrop to a 60-58 victory over Radford on Tuesday in the
opener of the Big South Tournament at HTC Center.
Jerome, who finished with 22 points and 12 rebounds, netted the game-tying
layup with 1:09 left in the extra frame, and after R.J. Price missed a 3-
pointer at the other end, Jerome finished a layup with two ticks left to lift
the Eagles to victory.
Reggie King added 11 points and six boards for the Eagles (14-16), who advance
to take on South Division champion Charleston Southern in Thursday's
quarterfinal round.
Rashun Davis paced the Highlanders (13-19) with 18 points and five rebounds,
while Javonte Green added 13 points and five boards for Radford, which lost
five of its final six games to close out the season.
Winthrop led by four, 50-46, with 3:14 left, but Davis closed regulation on a
personal 6-2 spurt, as his jumper with 38 seconds left tied the game and
forced an extra session.
Radford ripped off five straight free throws to take the early lead in
overtime before Winthrop closed the contest on an 8-1 spurt, including
Jerome's back-to-back layups, to escape with the victory.

GOP Sen. Kirk Becomes 50th Senator to Support the Freedom to Marry
Press Contact:
Angela Dallara
Communications Associate, Freedom to Marry
New York -- Today Illinois Republican Mark Kirk became the 50th U.S. Senator to support marriage for same-sex couples. Sen. Kirk is the second sitting Republican Senator to support the freedom to marry, following Ohio Republican Rob Portman's announcement last month.
Evan Wolfson, founder and president of Freedom to Marry, released the following statement:
"With Senator Kirk's support, the U.S. Senate is now ready to move to the right side of history in support of same-sex couples' freedom to marry. Just as we have seen a majority of Americans embrace the freedom to marry, so the Senate is now on the verge of a majority for marriage. As members of Congress are talking with their family, friends, colleagues, and constituents, they come to understand why marriage matters to gay couples as to non-gay, and speak up in support of fairness and freedom. Senator Kirk's heartfelt words about values of treating others as we'd all want to be treated in our precious time on this planet powerfully make the case for the freedom to marry -- and the need for decision-makers to end marriage discrimination in the United States."
Sen. Kirk made the announcement on his personal blog, saying: "When I climbed the Capitol steps in January, I promised myself that I would return to the Senate with an open mind and greater respect for others. Same-sex couples should have the right to civil marriage. Our time on this earth is limited, I know that better than most. Life comes down to who you love and who loves you back--government has no place in the middle."
Freedom to Marry is the campaign to win marriage nationwide. We are pursuing our Roadmap to Victory by working to win the freedom to marry in more states, grow the national majority for marriage, and end federal marriage discrimination. We partner with individuals and organizations across the country to end the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage and the protections, responsibilities, and commitment that marriage brings.

Star Wars art auction to raise money to help one-year-old Princess Leah
A number of Star Wars artists and fans have pitched in their talents to help raise money to defray the health care costs of little Princess Leah Esquenazi. As we reported last year, when Leah was just two-months old, she came down with a mysterious illness that kept her mostly hospitalized, and the Star Wars fan community rallied to help her parents offset the costs of her medical bills. Now Leah is over a year old, and continues to require hospitalized ventilator support with the diagnosis of a mitochondrial illness. An ebay auction started on May 25th with over 100 unique and rare Star Wars art pieces and craft items to raise money for Leah's care. Right now, there are items donated by Matt Busch, Randy Martinez, Amanda Howard, Michael Ramirez, and Joe Corroney.
My friend Lesley, of the 501st Legion's Southern California Garrison, has been busy organizing the auction, and has a photo album of the donated art pieces. Follow the auction news on Facebook at facebook.com/ArtForLeah. After only 24 hours, there's already over $1,000 in bids for items. A second group of auction items will going up for bid in a few days. You can also follow Leah and her family via their blog. Check out the auction and find a piece of your own to bid on!

In the news: Jake Lloyd denies negative article
Untruths! An article about Jake Lloyd has been floating around in which claims he called his post-Star War childhood a "living hell." Lloyd took to Facebook on Sunday to deny it: "The quotes in the article do not accurately reflect my feelings for the time I spent on Star Wars or the time I spent in high school." The article says the quotes came from "a magazine" and also attributes comments from his mother to a (defunct) domain similar to Sci Fi Channel Australia, which did do an interview with Lloyd (though not his mother) in 2009.
Culture. In The New York Times, Matt Richtel takes a look at how Star Wars is still captivating kids. (Did no one tell him about The Clone Wars, which doesn't get a single mention?) Last week in the NYT: The New York Jedi. Pity about the headline fail. (Jedi is the plural. Tell your copy editors.)

Star Wars toys return to McDonalds' Happy Meal this Friday… As 'boy toys'
A new occasional feature here will be sharing those things that money (technically) can't buy (at least not until it is on the secondary market). Some examples: the podracer 3D glasses (though you can buy them if you're not near a giveaway theater.) Orange Death Star hand fans, Pins, LEGO mini-figs, ghost Obi-Wan figures, and Special Edition Luke figures.
It will not be an exhaustive listing, but when we come across various tie-ins, we'll do our best to share them with you as well as revisit some from the past from time to time. Why? Because who doesn't appreciate the free finer things in life?
First up — the McDonalds Star Wars Happy Meal toys for The Phantom Menace 3D rerelease.
McDonalds has had a few waves of Star Wars toys included in their happy meals in the prequel era. The last couple of series were tied to The Clone Wars and were amusing. The 2008 set focused on a cross between characters and ships – best of both worlds for most kids I know.
The 2011 set featured lightsabers, a Jedi Mind trick, a C3PO bobble (with R2-KT sticker!) – I still have some of those around and they were great for boys and girls. Who wouldn't want 3PO hanging around all day?
Starting this Friday (per contacts in my local market, YMMV), you'll start seeing a new round of Happy Meal toys. I was excited when I first heard about the promotion, looking forward to seeing what McDonalds would come up with to celebrate the movie. McDonald toys have been pretty cool lately with either multiple pieces, built in electronic lights and/or sounds, or just something above and beyond a hunk of plastic. I was thinking maybe Jar-Jar with a long tongue (it's been approved before), or prequel lightsabers like the 2011 promotion, or ships, or figures with voice chips. Something strongly tied in to TPM at least.
The toys are previewed on HappyMeal.com. (See the screenshot above.) And they appear to be of the Beyblade / LEGO Ninjago (minus the mini-fig) style of tops to compete with and collect.
The holders are light saber hilts, 2 pod racers, and R2. The tops feature pictures of various standouts from the movie associated with the holder model. The one standout is in the shape of R2-D2, with a matching top. R2 fans will enjoy adding it to their collection and if you're crafty you could modify it to match another of your favorite R2-series droids.
Recently Happy Meals have changed to include apple slices as well as fries as part of the meal to encourage healthier eating. I can't help but wonder if this decision has affected the budget for the toys. Healthy living is important and as a mom I appreciate the apples being there and not just a choice, but cheapening the toy further is messing with tradition. I'd rather not see the Happy Meal toy go the way of Crackerjack prizes in terms of quality.
Kids are still going to be happy with finding one of these toys in their Happy Meal but there is something far more discouraging . The Star Wars toys have been deemed "boy toys" and have been paired up with Build A Bear as the "girl toy" offering. Why oh why do we continue to have this designation and only for certain partners? The Chipmunks were not divided, Happy Feet 2, Avatar – all these toys were offered to both boys and girls equally.
You'd think after 30+ years of girls vocally loving Star Wars, they'd offer an expanded collection for both girls and boys to play with and share. At least Burger King offered Iron Man jewelry for girls during their promotion rather than assume girls did not want to celebrate Tony Stark. Iron Man 2 even had at least two strong female characters in Pepper Potts and Black Widow. The Phantom Menace has a queen, her bodyguard handmaidens, a mother, and numerous female characters who appear throughout the movie. What a disappointment to not include any of these characters in the Happy Meal toys at all.
Shame on you, Ronald. What a wasted opportunity.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - NATO says five members of the U.S.-led international military coalition have been killed by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan - the first foreign troops killed this month around the country.
In a statement, NATO said the five were killed on Saturday. It provided no other details, or the nationalities of those killed.
Such information is usually released after families are notified.
With the deaths, 47 members of the coalition have been killed so far this year, including 32 Americans.
Three British soldiers were killed on April 30 when their armored vehicle hit a bomb in southern Helmand province.

It was not a question of performance, the jester very well knew the tricks of the trade, however, upon the eyes of the queen, he fell a fool.
"Tell me o' foolish one, where would the scarf be?"
A jingle irritated with each bounce as the jester fell to the floor with his head burrowed in between his thighs.
"Very well," the queen's fat nose twitched a notion to the guards as they took the jester away.
His yelps were silent, for in his agape mouth, the absence of a tongue yearning to exist. The Guillotine would end his career as swiftly as it began. And thus, the queen set forth into the village to find a new jester.
Amongst the seeded roads, paved poverty with a sickish gold, for the cankering of the hooves plated with jewelery drummed with each gallop. Humble shacks quivered in unison as the clouds withered a gloom shade of shadows in the alleys. All ...alongst the road the peasants bowed, all but one whom was seen chewing on a barley of wheat. His defiance instantly sparked an infatuation in the queen, yet, she must discipline him for he is a subject, as the rest, and what difference does one make?
"Tell me your secrets" she proded the defiant.
"But my lady, if i did, they would not exist.
Her lip twitched and the hair on her neck contorted as her voice mustered a lustrous tone.
"Dare thee resist me?"
"I dare live"
"Excuse me?"
The man spit out the stem and picked up another barley and resumed chewing as he turned his back to the queen and walked into the fields.
"Quick after him" she ushered her guards.
The pursuit of a hare began with the deck of cards arguing with words they did not understand the meaning to.
Emerging with failure, only one guard emerged missing one fourth of its body shrieking madness before fumbling into a fit on the floor.
The queen removed herself from the chariot as each step crushed the spines of a short and fat man crouching underneath her feet.
She examined the body and wiped a blueish residue from the wounds, "Its H-i-m"
The substance could be mistaken for no other, the man of barley was none other than, him. She cursed the air and ran into the tall stalks of wheat littering the fields where the man remained. She fell over a corpse and tore the fluers off her dress. The golden dress melted into chocolate which began seeping into her legs. The scalding rendered her beauty with scars camouflaging any sense of health. Unable to walk, she crawled back towards the carriage and hoisted herself into it and locked the door shut. After a few moments the chariot began moving, as a surprise to the queen, to which she tried to escape. The door was unable to unlock, and thus, his melody was heard,
"Tis we plow and wheat the ripeness of gluttony
to starve only to stuff our queen piggy,
Dare I, dare I, drive our chariot
I Dare, I dare, End this harlot"

Sexy Hair Concepts Curly Sexy Hair Curling Creme5 oz | Styler
(Rated 3/5 based on 5 reviews) Login to add your review
this stuff is pretty good! it smells really good and I like to give my curls a nice loose ringlet look to them. it does just the job, but its a little light on the hold.
My curls have never looked better! I absolutely LOVE this stuff. I use it in combination with an Epsom salt spray (water, la looks cashmere curls gel, and water) and wow... I get the prettiest waves ever.
A little background...My go to leave-in Fructis Curls & Shine has been discontinued, just like my previous favorite Fructis Soft Curl Cream. It seems they keep discontinuing their curly hair products and replacing them with new ones that are less & less effective. Needless to say I am no longer even considering using Fructis products. That being said - I've been on a frantic search for a good replacement. I have spirally 3a/3b type virgin hair that is mid-back length - even though I haven't used a blow dryer or any other heat styling appliance for 20 years it still tends to be dry. I use moisturizing shampoos but no rinse out conditioners as they tend to weigh my hair down. Generally I put in a leave-in straight out of the shower and let my hair air-dry. Over the past 6 weeks or so I've amassed a staggering array of "curl enhancing" leave-ins in my search. I picked this product up in the hopes it would do the job. Unfortunately it didn't. The scent is pleasant and the price is right. But it just didn't deliver the curls I've come to expect from my leave in. I ended up with some of my regular spirally curls in the shorter hair around my face - but the rest of my head it just seemed to give me waves. It also left my hair feeling kind of dried out. Another product for the discard pile...

It seems odd to me that there are so many threads dedicated to beating a specific time in the 5k or half-marathon, but no other distances.
The 10k, in particular, deserves more attention, considering that it is a longstanding, official track distance with a great history in the Olympics. In contrast, the half-marathon seems to have exploded in popularity just over the past decade or two.
Whatever happened to 10k popularity?
In some cases, I was following a fast running, good looking, seductively clad woman. In others, I was making a half-hearted attempt to do speed work, despite my absolute hatred of it. In any case, the following results are intended for entertainment purposes only, not because I'm trying to be the next Speed Racer of running.
mile - 6:48 (9/17/13)
3k - 13:20 (9/3/13)
2 miles - 14:12 (11/14/13)
3 miles - 22:40 (9/21/13) - 22:22 (1/26/14)
5 miles - 38:04 (11/22/13)
Speaking with no authority whatsoever - the 5K has seen a huge jump in popularity thanks to the run-walk C25K programs. Most people who start racing at 5K are slow, so they're looking to improve. Or they feel that having run a 5K in under 40 minutes means they're ready to start training for a half marathon or a full marathon.
By the time people get to 10Ks, they already have some experience under their belt and are familiar with training.
This is largely an American phenomenon. Where I live there are comparatively few 5Ks. People who start racing distances usually start with 10K events.
Feel free to tear me down. ;-)
During the 70's and 80's pretty much all road races were 10k's marathons or totally random distances that made sense based on a nice loop the race director made. As Noga has said, the popularity of the 5k has a lot to do with all the walk-run, c25k, and just hobby joggers in general. The population that participates in road races is completely different today than it was 30 years ago.
The fact that the 10k has a long and storied history as an official track event is really irrelevant, as most people who run today are totally ignorant of said history and never step foot on a track.
It would be nice if people would move up from 5k to 10k once they are in better shape, but I think most of the time the jump is 5k to half or 5k to marathon.
PR's Since turning 40
400 meters 57.05 1 mile 4:41 5k 16:14 marathon 2:41
Not sure.
Although I do have to say it's the only distance I don't like to race. Idk why but I'm just not a fan of it. Really anything under 15K isn't what I enjoy.
Since there are far more resources out there on how to run, and our culture is beating the myths that running is bad for you. So there are more and more people able to do the half and full marathon distances.
I'm assuming with the increase in popularity of the longer distances comes the decrease in popularity of the shorter distances.
2015 Goal. Be a bigger Beast
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PRs - 5k: 18:42, 10k: 39:13, 5m: 31:25, 15k: 1:02:10, Half: 1:28:22, Full: 3:20:35
same thing here. 5ks are rare to find. must be an american thing. 10k dominates the shorter distances here. 20ks are also kind of popular, don't know why.
coming up next: nada!
Mile 5:46 5:24 | 3K 11:16 11:01 | 5K 19:51 19:29 19:19 19:05 | 10K 40:07 40:03 39:55 38:34 | HM 1:28:06 1:27:38 1:26:57 | FM 3:30:07 3:21:19 3:13:19 3:07:03 3:03:29
20K would really irritate me ;-) Like, it would kill them to add another 1.1km and make it a half?
a friend once told me that they do 20ks to avoid having the special requirements of a HM. something to do with a special license or measurement done by the athletics association. who knows... looks quite dumb to me.
Ahhh. I love racing season - the cool weather, the adrenalin, the energy of the crowds, the stench of bureaucracy...
That sums it up well. I would also note that the HM has displaced the 10M and 20K distances. Aside from a few popular 10M races like Broad Street and Cherry Blossom, that's another distance that is difficult to find. 20K for some reason has never been popular, but in response to Noga, I would invert that question and ask why do so many RDs insist on running 21.1K instead of 20K. Why run a half marathon...ever?
An "epic" journey: From Miler to Ultra Marathoner Blogs
12/28/2015 - Across the Years 24-Hour, Phoenix, AZ
Aw, man, I got up at 5 this morning to run on the dunes and it's now 4pm and I still have to go to the market and you expect me to answer questions like this? I need oranges and veggies.
Yep, our area is down to two 10K's, vs a thousand 5K's. The only reason they survived was because of being established (Easter and the local Riverfest) since the 80's. I've always thought that 10K's died because the distance was just out of reach to fake, and it took too long for someone who tried, for the organizers to keep the course open and traffic control. Yoga mom pushing stroller can make a 5K, and everyone has fun and the organizers smile all the way to the bank.
I'm blown away at the popularity of the half marathon. There's no taking the distance lightly! Every year there seems to be another one or two added to the collection of them in our area. I've never been a fan of calling them a half, because it just doesn't seem right to do half of anything. I'd be all for something like a 25K and then calling is a metric marathon. The cycling world here has done this with fantastic success. In the 80's there were "Centuries" were we rode 100 miles. That was asking a lot for casual riders. Then they started going with 100K and calling them metric centuries. Now a lot of tours are 50K or 100K and are attracting throngs of riders and lots of events... and the old centuries have died out and gone away around here.
Next Marathon: Eisenhower Marathon, Abilene, Ks. 4/09/16
yeah 5Ks are an american thing. I was in spain last month and looked for a race, everything was a 10k and the only thing shorter was a 4.5km walk (no running). no biggie though, i did the 10k and ran my current PR!
Current PRs: 5K: 19:18 10K: 39:49 HM: 1:26:492015 HM: 1:29:59 1:25:59
I agree with Honkeygrass - there just aren't that many 10Ks around any more. The 5K is an easier event to put on, and the half has become more accessible to slower/more novice runners through things like Team In Training and races that have gone to very generous time limits. (I agree on the cycling as well - I used to do century rides when I was in grad school, yep, in the 80s, and it seems as though they just don't exist any more.)
The old RWOL site, though, had a number of 10K threads. I remember there was at least a 40 and a 42 minute goal time thread. Also there was a thread once about running your age in the 10K.
10 1:12:59 (2014) 13.1 1:35:55 (2013) 26.2 3:23:31 (2013)
bloggy stuff at http://ilanarama.dreamwidth.org
When I started in 77 there was a lot more 10k's than 5ks.
Now there are almost no 10k's in WV.
First race Sept 1977 last race Sept 2007
OP, your question sort of implies that you would like to see such a thread here. Why not start one? It will either become popular or fade away through disuse. No harm in trying if you think there is a need.
Next Up:
Phoenix Marathon 02/27/16
I love the 10k and am running one of the only ones in my area next week. They are definitely hard to come by these days.
Back from the market, eating a delicious orange and getting the keyboard all sticky. Citrus season is well and truly underway, even though we've hardly had any rain yet.
What I find interesting in this thread is that in the US, where people are used to driving long distances, so many people say it's hard to find 10Ks. Do you mean 10Ks that take place in the city where you live? Or 10Ks that take place within, say, 2 hours' drive?
I also wonder how it spreads out geographically. My parents live in LA and when I visit them I check this website for info on local events. (Local being defined as within an hour and a half drive away.) Doesn't seem like there's any lack of 10Ks, or is that just a southern CA thing?
southern CA is a hotbed for runners, so there's plenty of races. here in texas it's not too bad, but the 5k to 10k ratio is likely 5:1. when i was in miami, there were few 10ks.
Where I am seems like 4 or 5 times as many 5Ks relative to the 10K. I was curious enough to do a little research and found this: per Running in the USA 31,211 5Ks vs 5,406 10Ks.
For me, a 10k needs to be pretty local. A 2 hour drive (one way?) for a 10k isn't local to me, although I don't know where I place the limit. I drove an hour to one once last year and that was okay, it didn't seem worth the trouble though. I searched Runningintheusa.com for 10ks within a 25 mile radius of my city and it yields 30 10ks for the entire year.
A long time ago it was THE distance in road racing in America. Every other race (whether it was a 5K or marathon or odd-ball distance) were talked about in "10K equivalents" amongst everyone I ran and raced with. 10K was the standard.
RKR, I think, has the reasons why the 5K and 1/2M and even FM have displaced the 10K in America. FWIW, my favorite race distances are 10K, 10Mile and 1/2 Marathon - in that order. And I think it's because those distances can be raced fairly well (not optimally, of course) off of the type of training I and most runners do most of the time (lots of easy mileage with just a little speedwork thrown in haphazardly). To run a good 5K or marathon there's lots of specific work and planning to be added.
50-54: 5K-17:54 10K-37:24 1/2-1:23:12 Mar-2:54:07
All-Time: 5K-17:54 10K-37:24 1/2-1:22:48 Mar-2:54:07
I can't quite tell the time period at http://runningintheusa.com but here is summary data of races by state. If I am reading their site correctly this is everything they have. So some of them are races not held. So this may be off for current trends. But it is interesting none the less.
In their data there are twice as many 10ks as there are Halfs, but 5ks rule the roost at 77.59% of all races.
5k = 77.59%
10k = 13.44%
Half Marathons = 6.76%
Marathons = 2.20%
Hawaii has the lowest percentage of 5ks and the greatest percentage of 10ks

The people posting about California having a lot of 10k's were right. It is one of the few states with 20% or more 10k's.
I don't think that people are denigrating any particular distance. Some of us have a particular fondness for 10Ks (it's my best race to date) and we were remarking on the number of events available and how that's changed over the years.
I can confirm that the dominance of 5Ks is an American thing, while the 10K is still the most common first race people run in Europe (Belgium and France more specifically). At least, that's the impression I get from every single, bar none, "newbie runner" status updates from my facebook friends. American pals marvel at having been able to run for 5K nonstop, while European buddies gloat about their sub-60 or sub-50 10K.
Started running in September 2012 - Current age 34
2015 "in my wildest dreams" goals: HM-1:25:59 ; 10k - 37:59 ; 5k - 17:59
2015 "would make me proud" goals: HM-1:27:59 ; 10k - 38:59 ; 5k - 18:29
I hope you see the irony in being so accepting of race distances but so insulting to people who aren't as accepting of race distances.
i second that.
Something to consider--most high school cross country races here are 5k, so a lot of folks that ran in school like to run 5k for that reason. I compare my current races to my high school 'peak' shape.
I love LA - Feb 2016
Funny, Chicago used to have a 1/4 marathon. I ran that back in 2003 & 2004. It was billed as part of the training program for the Chicago HM. Later it became the Big10 10k, i.e. a college themed race. In general, there are a reasonable number of 10ks in the greater Chicagoland area from March through Thanksgiving. Some are/were on the local racing circuit. Only a handful of 10 milers though. Never seen a 20k in these parts. Then there's the Hot Chocolate 15k... I ran the first 2 (2008/2009) but never since they moved it to Grant Park and tripled to field size... total CF.
The 10k is a pain-fest. Mile 4 is where the real fun begins. Back in 2008 I got the hang of the distance. I used a coolrunning 10k training plan and then moved into Pfitz 18/70 for the marathon. I paced well. These days my execution is not good, due to lack of 10k racing, so I underachieve by going out a touch too fast then dropping time in miles 4 and 5. I can hold on in a 5k after going out too fast but in a 10k is brutal.
5k - 17:55 ('12), 10k - 37:58 ('08), HM - 1:23:13 ('13), M - 3:04:34 ('13)
I think 5Ks are popular because they can be easily finished within a reasonable amount of time by just about anybody; even most walkers will finish in about an hour. Additionally most 5Ks around here raise money for charity which also tends to encourage participation.
I'd say that the popularity of both 5ks and HMs have hurt the 10k. There are a lot more HMs than their used to be. 5ks are easy to put on, and HMs are long enough to be worth traveling for.
Unfortunately, there is only one really well run 10k locally for me every year, and it is on labor day and is always hot and humid and hilly. So my 10k PR has lagged behind my other race times. My 10k time trial (on a track) PR is 5 minutes faster than my 10k road race PR.
I notice no one has started a 10K training thread yet. Apparently no one wants one enough to start one despite the continuing posts to this thread.
I love this quote. The worst part of the 10k is when you pass the 5k mark and realize that you have to grind for the next 3+ miles.
Mile: 5:38 (2015) | 5k: 19:49 (2015) | 10k: 42:53 (2015)
I've though about starting a 15k thread. I really like a 15k and would talk about them a lot...
Looks like we have one here
Finally. Started 3 hours after my post. It'll be interesting to see how much traffic it gets. At least the Milers? thread is still active and gets a modest amount.
not exactly the type of thread I was hoping for. I would like to see a more traditional one like "2013 sub 40 10k training thread", with a list of runners and dates, etc.
