Recycling gets boost from weak economy
By: Gloria Young, Journal Staff Writer
A steady stream of aluminum cans poured through the crusher Wednesday afternoon at the Auburn Community Recycling Center as car after car dropped off bulging plastic bags. The Sacramento Street facility processes about 1,000 to 1,500 pounds of aluminum cans a day and 3,000 pounds of glass, according to employee Jim Couk. Business has doubled in the past six or eight months, manager Kristin Cummins said. She attributes the increase to the troubled economy. Customers, who must have their items sorted and bundled, receive 96 cents a pound for plastic and $1.57 for cans. Payouts range from $5 to as much as $150, Cummins said. Her father, Roger Johnson, who owns a machine shop across the street, purchased the recycling facility about 20 years ago as a business investment. "It was way before recycling really caught on," Cummins said. These days, it takes a crew of five to handle the volume. Outside, Auburn resident Traci Makinen was waiting her turn with four bags of plastic bottles and aluminum cans. She said she couldn't guess how much she'd get for them. She visits the center once a month or so, she said. "It's a little extra few bucks," Makinen said. "Every little bit helps with the economy the way it is." Auburn resident Gary Estes has been recycling there since he moved to the foothills in 1990. He makes the trip about every three months and has noticed an increase in customers lately. "I went to recycle Tuesday (morning) and I saw there were cars backed up onto Sacramento Street," he said. Estes decided to avoid the line and come back a little later. When he returned, he found the line was shorter "but still more noticeable than in the past," he said. "I got in line and it took about 20 minutes (to process the items)," he said. For his efforts, he earned $32. The facility doesn't take paper products, so Estes takes his newspapers, cardboard and office paper waste to the city of Auburn's recycle bins behind city hall, he said. But the recycling center does accept many other items, including copper, brass and pretty much anything made out of aluminum. This week, there was a stack of aluminum ladders beside the building and nearby bins were filled with scrap aluminum including even lawn chairs. Upstairs, bales of compacted plastic containers shared space with copper pipe and old radiators. The center is also a drop-off point for electronic waste such as computers and televisions, but there's no payment for those. "We accept them as a courtesy to the community," Cummins said. She also accepts milk jugs as a courtesy. The inside of the building has shelves reaching to the ceiling with old bottles and utensils customers have brought in over the years. "Some of the stuff has been there since my father brought the place," Cummins said. The vast collection includes a few dusty RC Cola and Dr. Pepper bottles and some old-fashioned medicine bottles. Recyclers sometimes drop off decorative items, too, including, recently, a large round brass tray and a copper ornamental water fountain. "I was thinking about how that would look in my yard," Cummins said. Locally, Auburn Placer Disposal Service also has a recycling program. Company representatives did not return a call for comment Wednesday. At the Tomra Pacific's Replanet recycling center in Meadow Vista, employee Deniel Hernandez said he hasn't seen any change in volume since he began working there in December. Replanet only processes beverage container recyclables. "We have slow days and busy days," Hernandez said. "It can take six, eight or even 10 days to fill the bin."

Re: Buffy Season Six
The show should always be rising in threat and scale. The previous series Big Bad was a god of a hell dimension. This season it was three nerds. Not to mention Buffy's pathetic existence as a single mom working in a fast food restaurant. Surely the ultra rich Watchers Council can afford to give her a paycheck for saving the world over and over? Also, no Giles. Oh and this was the season of Buffy boning evil Spike too. Unforgivable. I forgot about all the bad things that year.

Expert's review
by Anna Grace, Appszoom
Rail Maze is an addictive puzzle game with more than a hundred levels in which you need to build railroads, bomb items, escape from pirate trains and other multiple features. The main goal of the game is to get the train from the start point to the end by rotating the rails and doing everything you can in the fewest possible time.
There are 4 game modes: Labyrinth, which is a puzzle mode, Build Railroad, which is kind of an action game where you need to be really quick and use bombs and drag railroads to their correct places. In addition, there's also Snake mode and the Longest Railroad. Besides the first one, the other modes need to be unlocked by playing the previous levels.
There's no doubt that this game is really complete, with many features and system for the extra things, so you can unlock everything at the same time if you pay. Rail Maze was developed by Spooky House Studios UG(haftungsbeschraenkt) and has achieved a great success thanks to the original gameplay and the multiple features and game modes.

Brazil: Murder of Nun Leads to Amazonian Reserve Decree, Deployment of Soldiers
The murder of a US-born nun in the Brazilian state of Para has led to the deployment of troops to the Amazon, a decree ordering an Amazonian reserve, and an international outcry. Within days of the killing of Dorothy Stang, police had taken into custody three of the four suspects and had retrieved one of the weapons used for the crime. But violent death continued to haunt the landless and environmental movements, as several murders quickly followed Stang's. The murder of Stang forced President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to cut short an international trip and attempt to militarize the region, although the question of whether military deployment would bring order to the region remained unanswered.
Stang becomes "martyr" for Amazon
Dorothy Stang, 73, a nun from Dayton, Ohio, and a naturalized Brazilian citizen, was shot dead on Feb. 12, a result of a dispute with an influential rancher in the eastern Amazon state of Para, on the country's frontier of forest and development, where powerful interests collide with the Amazon's poor.
Witnesses said Stang was killed because she was trying to halt logging in an area of near-pristine jungle coveted by rancher Vitalmiro Goncalves de Moura, known as Bida. Police were searching for Moura but think he fled the region in a small plane after the killing. As of Feb. 22, an attorney for Moura said the rancher was negotiating his surrender and would turn himself in to police shortly.
Police already had the three other suspects in custody. Amair Freijoli da Cunha is accused of hiring the killers, and Rayfran das Neves Sales confessed to firing twice at Stang. Another suspect in the case, Uilquelano de Souza Pinto, known as Eduardo, was apprehended in eastern Para. Cunha, who was charged with conspiracy to murder, has denied any involvement.
An autopsy performed in Belem determined that Stang had been shot six times--in the head, throat, and abdomen. Claudio Guimaraes, director of the state's forensics institute, said the shots appeared to have been fired from just over a half meter away.
Witnesses who escaped the killers said Stang pulled out her Bible when confronted by the killers and began to read passages to them before they shot her. "My only weapon is the Bible," said Sister Dorothy, according to the campesinos who witnessed the murder.
Just 10 days before, Stang had said that assailants would not have the courage to kill a woman of her age. "I know they want to kill me, but I won't flee," Stang told the newspaper O Estado de Sao Paulo. "But if they do kill me, I would like to be buried here in Anapu, with the humble people."
Thousands of people, from peasants to politicians, converged on the remote Amazon town for the burial of the nun killed in the struggle to protect the Amazon rain forest and its poor residents from loggers and ranchers. After an all-night vigil, mourners filed slowly past the simple, flag-draped coffin in the small shingle-roofed church in Anapu, the jungle town of 7,000 residents that Stang had adopted as her own.
Comparisons to Chico Mendes
"Before she came here, she was in southern Para, where loggers cut down everything, and she saw that that model brought disgrace for many and improvements for only a few," said Felicio Pontes Jr., a federal prosecutor who often worked with Stang on land issues. "She vowed not to let that happen here."
That vow cost Stang her life--and made her a symbol for rain-forest defenders. Her killing drew repeated comparisons to rubber tapper and environmentalist Chico Mendes, who was slain in 1988 (see Chronicle, 1989-03-28; NotiSur, 1993-02-23 and 1996-08-02).
While Mendes' death brought international attention, increased environmental awareness, and government regulations, much has remained the same. The Amazon is still a wild, mostly lawless region. Loggers, ranchers, and developers are still cutting down the trees--about 20% of the 2. …

Submerge is a fast paced, tactical survival game with main focus on thrilling multiplayer matches. In the Game up to 16 players chase each other through a dangerous underwater world in order to survive longer than everybody else.
The Mediadesign Hochschule in Munich, Düsseldorf and Berlin produces a number of high quality projects every year. One such project is Submerge, an Action Survival Game from Aesir Interactive. Submerge was developed with the Unity games development platform in just over twelve months.
Posted by Meister_Wolo on Aug 8th, 2012
The tournament will be hosted at the booth of the Mediadesign Hochschule (Number E044 in hall 10.1). every day from 15th to 19th August at 2pm. Anyone can join the server and play Submerge. At 4 pm the prizes from Unity, Razer and Desura will be handed out. Also in the booth are 17 other innovative new games from other teams of the Mediadesign Hochschule. For example "Tink" will be displayed, a Unity Project which was chosen for "Best Project 2012" at Game Connection Europe. Aesir Interactive also plans to turn into a games developer so if you want to support a creative and dedicated new team or just want to play one of these games hit us up at booth E044 in hall 10.1! Aesir Interactive is grateful for the sponsored prizes from Unity Technologies and would like to thank the people from Unity for their great cooperation.
Producer Wolfgang Emmer said: "We began developing with Unity in December 2010 – the development platform allowed us to quickly build a prototype, test innovative new gameplay mechanics as well as being an intuitive functional tool for new members of the team"
Tech Lead: Lukas Lang said: "With only three programmers and one UI designer, we needed to find a functional easy to use engine to work with. By writing our own Editor scripts we could easily expand Unity so everybody in the team could work as efficiently as possible. Unity's "GameObject/Component" model is so great that we used a similar architecture for our own server also written in C#/Mono."

Battery backup supply
"Very challenging project from start, involving detection of an adjustable threshold point and switch to backup battery. The challenge was that both batteries had the same voltage = 3 volts (2xAA and CR2032). The approach taken by the engineer is to set the threshold for switching at 1.6 volts (*2) Then use an ideal Oring diode made from mosfets to prevent the flow back on the dead battery (regular diode has high drop). They are chips like that made by only 3 companies Maxim outrageous expensive. Intersil no adjustable threshold and just 32mA maximum output. Linear Technology, expensive also. I am very pleased with the engineer job as just in the first half hour he comes up with the concept and working schematic.

This page collects recent notes about gadgets – electronic devices I've bought or considered buying.
Several factors came together:
And so… I bought a new gadget! A Pure-Fi Elite by Logitech. How's that for a craptastic name?
Anyway, the thing is that it easier to sync my iPod with iTunes, and then just use the iPod instead of the Mac Mini as music server. Plug the iPod into the Logitech thing, and instant access to 33G of music.
The Logitech user interface is elite pure-crap, by the way. Press this or that, then up and down to pick the play list. That's as far as I got. The Squeezebox was at least somewhat better. But here's the good part. I can just grab the iPod, save the old On-The-Go playlist, collect a new one, plug the iPod, and I'm done. Yes, the On-The-Go playlist thing has turned out to be a major feature!
Anyway, that leaves me with two gadgets:
The Tivoli Model One I bought two years ago – a simple radio – and the Squeezebox.
I decided to move the radio near the balcony. Whenever I'm sitting outside, I can move the radio and listen to some music outside. And for those few hours I do enjoy the sun, I can plug the iPod into the radio using the ordinary audio cable. It works. I like.
But what to do with the Squeezebox? I'm not sure.

Today I bought 2 × 1 GB RAM for my Mac Mini. Opening the bastard was a hassle. It looks nice, but it proved to be impossible to open without any scratches. Let's hope that iPhoto gets usable again. With 512 MB the system was getting hard to use.
Looking back at the last months, I think I can safely say that the SqueezeBox was an unnecessary buy. I rarely listen to it. I think part of the problem is that I don't bought into any of the music services (Pandora, Rhapsody), and that I switch off my Mac Mini at night, so it won't serve any music when I'm most likely to be in my bedroom and near my !SqueezeBox.

Trying to run gnokii on my iBook with OSX (OS 10.3.9) to get a backup of my address book on my Nokia 6230i. No luck.
This is the config file I'm using:
[global] port = aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff model = 6230 initlength = default connection = bluetooth use_locking = no [logging] debug = on
I'm using an external Bluetooth decive on USB.
This is what I get, no matter whether I am connected to the phone via OSX or not:
alpinobombus:~ alex$ sudo gnokii --identify GNOKII Version 0.6.8 Couldn't open PHONET device: Operation not permitted Telephone interface init failed: Command failed. Quitting.
I also tried using model = 6510 like they do on the wiki, to no avail.
I'm not sure whether I should connect to the device using the OSX Bluetooth wizard before running gnokii or not…

Hooked Claudia's brother HL-5030 printer, plugged it into my iBook, and tried to print. No drivers! Googled for brother+drivers, downloaded the drivers, installed them, and printed. Worked! Noticed that those were CUPS drivers.
Booted up SlackWare box, tried to figure out how CUPS actually works. Made
/etc/rc.d/rc.cups executable, ran it with the
start parameter, looked at http://localhost:631/, didn't get it, downloaded the drivers for Linux – .deb or .rpm – figured out how to extract the stuff from the .deb file, copied it into my directory tree using stow, installed it by looking at the postinst script. Looked at http://localhost:631/ again, found the new printer!
Tried to print the test page. Nothing.
Tried to print a PDF file. Nothing.
Everything seems to work except for the printing.
They're all listed on http://localhost:631/jobs?which_jobs=completed – but the printer didn't print them.
I think I'm going to cry a little, now.
When I look at http://localhost:631/printers/HL5030, I see that the device URI is
usb:/dev/usb/lp0. I tried modifying the printer and choosing different USB devices + printing test pages, but that just resultet in error messages. When I use
lp0, there are no error messages on the printer page. Thus, the CUPS system seems to know about the printer.
It's just the jobs that vanish into nirvana.
The log files in
/var/log/cups don't show anything unusual.
The spool seems to know about all the print jobs:
The spool itself is considered empty:
No effect.
USB stuff seems to be ok, too. Notice the printer, here:
Maybe that's it?
Logging out and logging back in had no effect.
Maybe the cups daemon has a different group?
I don't think the cups daemon should have a problem writing anywhere. ;)
dmesg output:
Looks as if some USB lp0 should be the printer…
Next, I edited
/etc/cups/cups.conf and changed !LogLevel from
info to
debug. Then I restarted using
/etc/rc.d/rc.cups restart.
And here's what
/var/log/cups/error_log has to say:
Notice how there is no
/dev/usb/lp0 – there's only
/dev/usb/lp1 and a
I went back to modify the printer again on http://localhost:631/printers/HL5030 and changed the device type again (picking the first USB printer). I think that's what it used to be, but I'm ready to try again.
Strange: Now the printer page says that the device URI is
usb://Brother/HL-5030%20series – hm, that's new!
But, unfortunately, still no effect.

Years ago, the CD player of my Denon D-G1MD broke down. I liked that little system because it had a MD player built-in, and at the time I really believed in Minidiscs. I felt the MP3 players were forcing me to waste even more time at the computer.
The replacement I bought was the Kenwood HM-DV7, which integrated DVD playback, but had a country code (in Switzerland these are not mandatory, so I was a fool for not buying it). Plus the technical gadget to simulate surround sound + subwoofer made for terrible sound quality when listening to music. And it had a lousy radio. I hated it. It ended up in the cellar. (You want it?)
I decided to replace the replacement system with a Sony DVP-NS590P. Code-free. It didn't have an amplifier, so I hooked it up to the old Denon system. Since I wanted to listen to CDs with the system, I had to do that. It also meant that when I wanted to watch a movie, I had to either fiddle with the cables, or use the stereo. With both speakers to the right of the monitor, that spoilt half the stereo effects.
It also meant I had nowhere to hook up my Airport Base Station: When streaming music from my iBook, I had to fiddle with the cables again. I ended up not doing it.
All this time, I had my old, trusty other Denon D-F88 system in my bedroom: UPA-F88 amplifier, UTU-F88 tuner, UCD-F88 CD player, and UDR-F88 tape deck. It had good sound, worked, and was in good shape. And it had two free inputs: DVD/AUX and MD. I didn't buy the MD component at the time – I bought that system before MD was my solution to timeshifting radio shows!
Anyway, I decided that I needed to shift the D-F88 into the living room so that I could hook up the Airport Base Station and possibly a portable MD or MP3 player. Being able to listen to CDs via that system, I could connect the Sony DVD player to the TV entirely.
Now I just needed a new system for the bedroom. It should be small, and simple. I rarely listen to music in the bedroom. Often it's just radio anyway. I don't need an integrated alarm clock. I used to use the D-F88 system as an alarm clock for years, but that was during my time at university.
I decided that a Tivoli Model One was stylish enough, small enough, and simple enough for me. It had one AUX jack for my MP3 player should I need it. No stereo required, and no CDs. Models two and three do that.
I like it.

With the help of a $4 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, seven cities recently launched collaborative efforts to boost college graduation rates by better coordinating services between schools, colleges and community organizations.
This is exactly the kind of collaboration education experts say is necessary for the city to move the goal line from college access to college completion.
The good news is, Philly appears to be ahead of the game.
Even before Nutter took office, there was an army of organizations and programs already working to improve educational attainment in this city—the Philadelphia Youth Network, Philadelphia Education Fund, Philadelphia Futures, and the Philadelphia College Prep Roundtable, to name a few.
Really, the biggest success of the Mayor's Office of Education in the last two years has simply been aligning forces with these groups.
As for fixing the specific leaks in the education pipeline, as Naughton says, "the higher education system must continue to partner with high schools to align standards and ensure that a high school diploma means readiness for college."
Until then, there's not much more the city can do.
Though most young people intuitively understand that they need help with the transition into adulthood, the answers that weren't clear at all had to do with whether Philly's urban youth were actually getting that help—and where they should look for it if they weren't.

Psalm 108#sn Psalm 108. With some minor variations, this psalm is a composite of Ps 57:7-11 (see vv. 1-5) and Ps 60:5-12 (see vv. 6-13).
A song, a psalm of David.
1 I am determined,#tn Or perhaps "confident"; Heb "my heart is steadfast." The "heart" is viewed here as the seat of the psalmist's volition and/or emotions. O God!
I will sing and praise you with my whole heart.#tn Heb "also my glory," but this makes little sense in the context. Some view the term כָּבוֹד ("glory") here as a metonymy for man's inner being (see BDB 459 s.v. II כָּבוֹד 5), but it is preferable to emend the form to כְּבֵדִי (kÿvodiy, "my liver"). Like the heart, the liver is viewed as the seat of one's emotions. See also Pss 16:9; 30:12; 57:9; as well as H. W. Wolff, Anthropology of the Old Testament, 64, and M. Dahood, Psalms (AB), 3:93. For an Ugaritic example of the heart/liver as the source of joy, see G. R. Driver, Canaanite Myths and Legends, 47-48: "her [Anat's] liver swelled with laughter, her heart was filled with joy, the liver of Anat with triumph."
2 Awake, O stringed instrument and harp!
I will wake up at dawn!#tn BDB 1007 s.v. שַׁחַר takes "dawn" as an adverbial accusative, though others understand it as a personified direct object. "Dawn" is used metaphorically for the time of deliverance and vindication the psalmist anticipates. When salvation "dawns," the psalmist will "wake up" in praise.
3 I will give you thanks before the nations, O Lord!
I will sing praises to you before foreigners!#tn Or "the peoples."
4 For your loyal love extends beyond the sky,#tn Heb "for great upon the sky [or "heavens"] [is] your loyal love."
and your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
5 Rise up#tn Or "be exalted." above the sky, O God!
May your splendor cover the whole earth!#tn Heb "over all the earth [be] your splendor." Though no verb appears, the tone of the statement is a prayer or wish. (Note the imperative form in the preceding line.)
6 Deliver by your power#tn Heb "right hand." and answer me,
so that the ones you love may be safe.#tn Or "may be rescued." The lines are actually reversed in the Hebrew text: "So that the ones you love may be rescued, deliver by your power and answer me."
7 God has spoken in his sanctuary:#tn Heb "in his holy place."
"I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem,
the valley of Succoth I will measure off.#sn Shechem stands for the territory west of the Jordan River; the valley of Succoth represents the region east of the Jordan.
8 Gilead belongs to me,
as does Manasseh!#tn Gilead was located east of the Jordan River. Half of the tribe of Manasseh lived east of the Jordan in the region of Bashan.
Ephraim is my helmet,#tn Heb "the protection of my head."sn Ephraim, one of Joseph's sons, was one of two major tribes located west of the Jordan River. By comparing Ephraim to a helmet, the Lord suggests that the Ephraimites played a primary role in the defense of his land.
Judah my royal scepter.#sn Judah, like Ephraim, was the other major tribe west of the Jordan River. The Davidic king, symbolized here by the royal scepter, came from this tribe.
9 Moab is my wash basin.#sn The metaphor of the wash basin, used to rinse one's hands and feet, suggests that Moab, in contrast to Israel's elevated position (vv. 7-8), would be reduced to the status of a servant.
I will make Edom serve me.#tn Heb "over Edom I will throw my sandal." The point of the metaphor is not entirely clear. Some interpret this as idiomatic for "taking possession of." Others translate עַל ('al) as "to" and understand this as referring to a master throwing his dirty sandal to a servant so that the latter might dust it off.
I will shout in triumph over Philistia."
10 Who will lead me into the fortified city?
Who will bring me to Edom?#sn The psalmist speaks again and acknowledges his need for help in battle. He hopes God will volunteer, based on the affirmation of sovereignty over Edom in v. 9, but he is also aware that God has seemingly rejected the nation of Israel (v. 11).
11 Have you not rejected us, O God?
O God, you do not go into battle with our armies.
12 Give us help against the enemy,
for any help men might offer is futile.#tn Heb "and futile [is] the deliverance of man."
13 By God's power we will conquer;#tn Heb "in God we will accomplish strength." The statement refers here to military success (see Num 24:18; 1 Sam 14:48; Pss 60:12; 118:16-16).
he will trample down#sn On the expression trample down our enemies see Ps 44:5. our enemies.

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.
Native American proverb
Today is Blog Action Day. The topic is the environment.
Rule 24. Respect the Environment and Be Gentle to Animals
"Only two or three generations ago it was commonplace to describe progress as the subjugation of nature by man. Today we are more likely to think of progress as freeing nature from the lethal embrace of a recklessly wasteful and polluting humanity."
--'Choosing Civility: the Twenty-five Rules of Considerate Conduct' P. M. Forni, cofounder of the Johns Hopkins Civility Project
Responsibility extends into and around the workplace
Civility includes an active interest and respect for the well-being of our communities and a concern for the health of the planet.
• Reduce consumption. Paper. How much do you need to print? Do you need multiple phone books?
• Don't litter. Pick up after those who do or that which the wind blew in. The grounds outside the workplace are a reflection of those inside.
• Recyle. Paper, soda cans, plastic containers, printer cartridges.
• Don't use products harmful to the environment.
Give up bottled water
Americans have some of the best tap water in the world. Your tap water may actually be better than bottled water. Why is bottled water a status symbol? Drink tap water from a tumbler or bottle that can be used over and over. (It's good to wash them often according to ISU Extension.) That should be the status symbol because the user is environmentally astute.
The biggest display of bottled water in Iowa may be at the state fair. It was about fair time that I read Message in a Bottle from Fast Company, http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/117/features-message-in-a-bottle.html
"Americans went through about 50 billion plastic water bottles last year, 167 for each person. Durable, lightweight containers manufactured just to be discarded. Water bottles are made of totally recyclable polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic, so we share responsibility for their impact: Our recycling rate for PET is only 23%, which means we pitch into landfills 38 billion water bottles a year--more than $1 billion worth of plastic." The article notes it's an unlikely business boom and says something about our culture of indulgence.
Bottled water is an emerging target
The Des Moines Register had an editorial on it in early September. KCCI had a story in July. Two nonprofit organizations are asking you to pledge to quit drinking bottled water:
New American Dream, where you can find tap water reports from across the country, http://c3.newdream.org/

Slam: Yes, this July has not been too bad. I still don't like summer training. What is the difference for your Padawan this time around? Didn't she blow up at Boston and miss sub 3? Do you have her doing more milage? I'm thinking about starting Pfitz 12/70 next week. I have about a 65 mpw base the last 12 weeks. I'd consider the Slammin 12/70 plan instead but it's too similar to IDGAF plans.
I don't always do recovery runs; But when I do, I usually PR
"5th avenue can screw off straight to hell" - Dan "Insane" Kelley
2015 Goals: FM-2:44:59, HM-1:16:59, 10M-PR, 10K-35:29, 5K-16:59, Miles-2900
There's legitimate room for debate on pacing strategy if your marathon has hills. If it's flat or flattish then just run even splits. Anything else just means running at least one section faster and faster means harder.
Strugglr: I know lots of people here hate the Pfitz tempos but the plans work. I had absolutely no business running 2:50 last year but 18/70 got me there. I'm doing 12/85 right now and (despite never having run a 300mi month) I feel just fine. The weeks are constructed intuitively, the plans aren't that hard and they progress really nicely (55mi with one workout gradually to 70mi with two workouts) in a short period of time. If you're already handling 65mpw as a base, 12/70 will be easy. Don't be dumb and add stuff in the first few weeks, 12 weeks is a long time.
I murdered the first of my tempos last night and bounced right back eight hours later for 10mi this morning. Why? I don't pretend to know, but it works. Blind subservience can be good.
PRs 10k 35:41 HM 1:21:53 FM 2:49:36
Papiernik: 1:30:00 / 1:29:59
John - you don't want to "bank" anything - just run 6:49-6:50 (you need to take into account GPS's added mileage) until mile 22 and then decide from there.
+1 to both. I wore a pace band with two scenarios on it, since I knew I'd be bad at math during the race, and wanted to know where I stood against my goals after every mile, and how to adjust if I wanted to. Worked for me. I don't see Fox Cities on mymarathonpace.com, but fyi if you ever do a marathon on that list, I recommend paying the $6 for the mile-by-mile insight. Can't hurt.
Chasing 2:45:xx / 1:17:xx
Looks like Fox Cities is not completely flat, so, you basically have to calculate what time you need to get to 17.5 miles mark - after that mark it should be easier to keep 6:50 pace. But try not to bank time on the first 10.5 miles mostly downhill section - I would try to preserve some energy, kind of trying to run easy and see if you can nail some 6:47-6:48 pace until the uphill section. And I would start conservatively for the first 1-2 miles. slower (by ~10 secs) than your planned marathon pace.
50-54: HM - 1:21:44 (11/15) 10K - 37:55 (9/15) 2015 Goal - MM or bust
Struglr- I think you might be good for the 12/85 plan. I was only at 60 mpw base going in. 12/70 is too conservative if you are already at 65 base. Theres actually only 2 runs over 20 in 12/85.
John- I went 1.27 and 1.32 but as Cal mentioned be ready for running over 26.2. I got 500m longer and it nearly put me over 3 hrs.
Elmo's World!!!----------------------------------------------Train Easy, Win Hard!
Any chance to decipher what you just said? I don't know who you refer to, but if that's me, I am advising John on exactly the same strategy I was using for my last 7-8 marathons.
Greg Maclin will put together a pacing spreadsheet for any race that has map data available, if you're willing to buy it for the regular charge. Just email and ask him. That's why Rim Rock is on the list - I requested it!

Also watch out for liquid calories since they add up quickly and usually without realizing it.
This was a big key for me losing 90lbs, I was getting a ton of calories from sweet tea and lattes.
I cannot stop drinking wine. If anyone knows how please let me know.
If you drink all of it tonight, there will none to drink tomorrow.
"You've got real nice legs. No disrespect."
RMR: Thanks for the Pfitz tips. Happy to see your injury appears behind you.
PK: 12/85 might be doable but I'm going to play it safe and go with 12/70. No rush to move up mileage to quickly. I also don't know if my life can handle much more mileage right now. I do plan to add easy miles to the first couple weeks to keep me over 60 but then follow the plan as closely as possible.
Slam: Ok, so she didn't blow up, she just doesn't listen to her coach. I hope you can get her to sub 2:50 this time. If not there is always Boston again and maybe by then I'll be in shape to give her a run.
Thank you all for the pacing advice.... Pacing spreadsheet sounds interesting. Obviously I won't know most likely until a day or so before the race, but do you guys let wind direction dictate your pace at all?
PR's: Half marathon: 1:26.08 (5-18-14) Marathon 3:18.22 (Oct-11) Ironman 10:57.12 (marathon split of 3:29) Half iron 4:57.03
2014 Goals: 2:59.59 at Fox Cities Marathon Run 1750 miles
Yeah I was scared of 18/70 last year and it had its moments but now Im getting quite used to the daily grind.
Im noticing the medium long runs dont seem very far mentally and physically anymore.
12/85 has only 2 runs over 20. Should I be worried about this. There is are 4 x 17, 3 x 18 1 x 19, 1 x 20, and 1 x 22
John- a headwind or tailwind has to be run on effort so will be slower or faster just like any other race.
So, I guess the next question will be about rain?
Come on man, until it's 15-20+ mph headwind all the way from the start to the finish, I don' think you need to think about it too much. Plus, if you are so anxious already, I can only imagine what it will be like 2-3 week before the race .
18/85 has only 2 runs over 20. Should I be worried about this. There is are 4 x 17, 3 x 18 1 x 19, 1 x 20, and 1 x 22
I think you mean *12*/85, sister! Fwiw given my inexperience: that does seem light, given that 18/85 has 3x20, 2x22 and 1x24 -- so 12/85 is 6 weeks shorter but has 4 fewer runs of >=20? LR's seem a strange place for Pfitz to cut back the program, unless the assumption is that you're starting from a low base. You, on the other hand, already have a great base PK, so maybe modify 12/85 to sneak in 1-2 more runs of >=20?, if seems reasonable given how you're feeling.
You're dissing Sergey Bubka??? Just "talented"???
Calbears ("his Bubkaness") will not be pleased.
- rovatti
I guess this is sort of a question for anyone who runs really high mileage, but swim5599 (and anyone else who wants to respond), when you get to a certain point in the plan, do you find the high mileage mentally exhausting? Where are you at in the 18/85+ plan? I am tentatively planning on a Spring marathon using the 18/85+ plan and I feel tired just looking at it. Last Winter I successfully made it through the 12/85+ (actually I killed it!! ) but was seemingly getting mentally tired of all the miles in the mid-late weeks before the taper, although I was fine physically. Perhaps that's all it is - as long as we can mentally push through it, we should be fine.
5k - 17:21 (Apr '15) 8k - 28:19 (Oct '13) HM - 1:24:20 (Jan '14) FM - 2:58:48 (Oct '14)
Whoops sorry Pbrickley yes I mean 12/85. My base was ok about 60 mpw which I thought might have been a little light but I think 4 years in now my body is hardening to the rigors of mileage.
Yeah, the huge cutbacks will surely be nice. I imagine seeing improvement, or at least promising results given the high mileage, would definitely be a motivator. Luckily, I almost always enjoy running anyway, and assuming I make it through this cycle doing the 12/85 and have a successful buildup after this Fall's marathon, I am definitely going to give the 18/85+ a shot - it's just that I am really wondering how I will take it mentally.
Whoops, thinking a little too far ahead...and I'm only 1/2 a week into my 12/85 plan for the Fall!
rovatti - it doesn't matter now anyway... According to Slammin, I ran out of luck (as I found out today, all my PRs were a pure product of luck, not hard training, not even talent but luck) and won't be improving my times anymore. And why all that? It's clear as day - because I had no clear understanding of branches in US Armed Forces. Damn... Happiness was so close...
I wonder if there's ever been, anywhere, a man more misunderstood.
Cal- we know very little about his current ability. Quite a mystery man.
Are we 100% certain that Calvinist isn't actually a woman? He posted on Moose Mug thread and for chicks I believe that is 2 hours+age+20 minutes.
JohnP - If you're in sub3 shape on race day then I agree with Cal and allow for GPS. I set my Garmin at average lap pace and imo I think you should be aiming for just under 6:50 pace. My first sub3 was pretty much even split but my best races have been 1/2min positive splits and I'm fine with that.
2015 Races - Half 1:24:18 Full 2:54:39
Down two more pounds, hit 178 this morning. Last time I was in the 170s, I was 18 and fresh out of boot camp, that was 21 years ago!
_____________________- Dave - My running log My running blogGoals | sub-4 trail 50k | complete first 100 miler without dying
RE: Pacing
Don't overthink it. Make sure you feel crazy slow for the first 10k. Make sure you don't feel like you are working hard for the next 10k. Make sure you are still running the next 10k. Then just finish the race.
Don't micromanage - I've seen guys trying to adjust pace based on half mile splits. Any hill and they would start freaking out that they were going too fast or slow.
Slammin: I usually think of 'tanking' as somehow blowing it. At least that's how the term is used more broadly. I can see how you're using it, though: leaving something in the tank and then burning it in the last miles. I seem to remember you running a very fast last mile on one of your near misses at sub-2:40. I ran 6:55 for the last 1.2 last year at St. George, but I sandbagged the first 20 miles.
Yeah, tanking and sinking sound and mean similar to me. But what do I know about English anyway...
Congrats to the participants of this forum! 200 pages of indispensable content so far. Keep up great work people!!!
Tanking is a synonym for sandbagging in my vocabulary (i.e. underperforming intentionally)
I tanked my match so bad! She was tanking her match. He tanked the match after losing the first set. They tanked their match because they got angry with the referee/umpire.
Who has more posts, EASSIDE or WESSIDE?
I think Frank is the most frequent poster from East but even he could not beat Calvinist in his prime.

Dave-Nice job with the weight loss! Keep it up.
I always thought tanking was blowing it as well or running out of gas rather than saving gas to finish strong. Maybe slammin meant "banking" .
PRs 5K-18:27(7/2015) 10K-36:58(3/2015) 13.1-1:22:47(8/2015) 26.2-2:56:30(11/2014)
Thanks Tatted!
I also thought tanking meant doing poorly, while banking meant saving some for end.
All you guys starting or have started fall training plans, how did you pick your MP? My goal MP is 6:50 but that has been my goal forever and my 2014 race performances point to an MP anywhere from 6:33 to 6:42. 6:33 is a joke. No way. I could use 6:40 to start and reassess based on how those MP workouts feel but with the summer heat 6:40 might feel too hard. I have a HM 3 weeks before my goal marathon to solidify what MP I will use during the race itself but until then I'm not sure where to start.
Strugglr - One place to start is Maclin's spreadsheet. Using a moderate projection from your 61 10 miler says 6:40 pace. Moderate projection assumes 50-65 mpw average.

Industry consolidation, and a significant interest in the sector by some large investors, has helped pump up the stocks of key players, as has continued growth in commercial construction and infrastructure investment worldwide." BullMarket.com looked at the following topics, among others: -- Can cement stocks continue their hot streaks? -- Why does Texas Industries look like a prime takeout candidate? -- How will recent acquisitions help Cemex and Vulcan? -- What company is set to benefit from a lack of domestic cement plant capacity?
