If you're going to be a successful dater (which means you have fun and meet good men), an essential tool is the ability to empathize with the men you meet. Empathy is not feeling sorry for someone. It's being able to put yourself in their shoes and understand their experience.
I believe that the only way women can truly do that with men is to hear their stories firsthand. In my years of coaching I have gathered thoughts, feelings and stories from men in their early 30s up to their 70s, and clear patterns have emerged.
Among those patterns is this: There are certain types of single women who grownup men looking for relationships hope NOT to meet.
In a previous article I outlined the six types of women who are a challenge for men to date. They are The Princess, The 18 Year Old, The Scaredy Cat, The Wow-Me, The Bitter Gal and the Sex Pot.
Based on the number and intensity of comments this article received, I think I hit a nerve! Believe me, I am SO not judging. There are parts of these types in all of us. During my many years of dating, I leaned toward the Scardey Cat with a whopping dose of 18 year old. (And those gals still appear from time to time after years of marriage!)
I know of what I speak, and I also know that this is hard to shake. But I'm going to try to help you do just that.
Before you get all "what about all the types of men who are this and that?!", please note: You will not find one instance of me saying that only women should work on themselves or that they should put up with jerky guys. Nowhere. But my job is to help women over 40 date successfully. So I speak to you; I help you understand and talk to men.
That does not mean men aren't in need of tune-ups. It just means that I leave helping the men to other experts.
Now we can move on. I'm going to shine a light on each of these "FemiTypes."
Today's spotlight is on The Princess. Maybe she grew up as a princess, or maybe her "I deserve it" attitude comes from being burned too many times and she uses it as a shield or a test. Either way, she needs to see what a man will give her before she gives anything in return. And maybe she never gives at all.
Men are initially attracted to her because she appears confident and well-put together. (Men love confident women!) But Miss Princess can soon turn out to be demanding, high maintenance and, in the extreme, a variation of a gold digger.
Here's what "Norm" has to say about his experience dating a Princess:
"I was going out with a woman recently who I was very attracted to, but she stood on principle and did not want to call me. I called every time and it bothered me. And at the end of each date all I got was a quick, emotionless "thank you." But she still accepted more dates, so I thought maybe she needed time to feel comfortable with me.
For our third date I asked her where she would like to go, and she told me it was my job "since I was the man." So I asked her to go to a restaurant in her neighborhood for dinner. When I did I got complete silence. Apparently she didn't approve.
That date was our last date. I don't know what she wanted, but there was no way I was going to please that woman. And I saw no sign of her trying to please me…so I ran for the hills."
Norm was turned off by her insistence on seemingly playing by "The Rules." He just wanted to be able to please her and to have some indication that she returned his interest.
Instead, her inflexibility and lack of reciprocity left him feeling like a failure and like it was a one-way transaction. Guessing what would make her happy frustrated him, and he felt unappreciated. A grownup man looking for a relationship is not going to tolerate this. He won't last long with a Princess.
Yes, I know what you're thinking….I do encourage you to let the man make the first move. But I also encourage you to let him know you're interested and let him know what he can do to make you happy. Once the ball gets rolling you absolutely should reciprocate with phone calls and date planning.
Instead of holding on to the rules, the kind, grownup dater would take Norm's cues, give him a call when he asked, and let him know what she'd like to do on the date. And when they had a great date, she'd let him know it made her happy and she appreciated whatever effort he made.
Grownup men are usually not chasers. They want to know how to make you happy and to be rewarded when they do. And when you like a guy, this should be quite simple to do, right?
So if you have a touch of The Princess, please, take off your crown, loosen up your rules, and don't let great guys like Norm pass you by.

The notes are for a five-year term and accrue interest at a 5% simple interest rate, which is payable at the end of the term or upon conversion of the notes into common stock. The note holders may convert their notes, at their sole discretion, into common stock at any time within the 5-year term at a price of $0.06 per share. The note holders are Allan L. Goldstein, RegeneRx's chairman, founder and chief scientific advisor; Joseph C. McNay, an independent board member; and two unaffiliated investors.
Wonder who the "unaffiliated investors" are?
Deal kind of undercuts all the warrant holders.
Why didn't they put this offer out to existing shareholders - - -
Only positive feature is the rare possibility that JJ is no longer on the payroll - -
If / when that is confirmed, stock price could double!
Fink get 50 bucks an hour. And he has for over a year. Do you think he has the money to buy into convert again? Why do you think he works for nothing. ? All his future pay is in convert and stock he owns. I, for one, want my companys CEO incentive to be tied to stock price. You would be hard pressed to find another ceo in all of corporate America who has such an extreme vested interest in stock's future appreciation. "On the payroll"? 50 bucks an hour barely qualifies.
Not sure he is worth even that, based on the record he has built to date.
Any other BOD, without his relative on it, would have canned him years ago.
Still doesn't explain why neither Lee's or ST had any interest in "such a deal". Both entities are flush w. cash. I also want to know just what RGRX disclosed to the two "outside" investors as to what is going on? What is RGRX waiting for news wise, on two band aids? And where is the 10-K? RGRX didn't file a late notice filing either. Nor did they file an 8-K of this financing. Why no PR of the two new USA patents? What are they hiding & doing?

Crane Kenney nuggets in Sun Times
Not available on the web but in today's paper:
-ISFA will make offer next week for Wrigley Field. Kenny hopes to have "framework for a transaction" by opening day.
-This would allow major renovation paid by trib, naming rights owner, new team owner and city. Which means Cub would be homeless for part of a season or whole season. They would play at US Cellular, although Sox not notified tough shit, ISFA owns that park too.
-Advantage of ISFA owning Cubs, more night games. Closer to league average of 54.
-Kenney does not expect Cubs sale to stretch into 2009, but the CUbs books have not been provided to approved potential buyers yet.
-Movie production of Cubs season will be filmed throughout the year. "We Believe;Chicago and its Cubs" should be ready for Sundance next year.
-Whatever the new name of stadium or renovation, Kenney said "we are not going to touch the existing scoreboard".\
jacos- But in Trib he mentioned they could change name on marquee in front due "to first ammendment"
-Two concerts this summer at Wrigley
And for Carlos-
Cubs plan on putting games on radio in Spanish though no deal through radio station has been made.
This from Gordon Wiitenmyer in todays' Sun times.
Re: Crane Kenney nuggets in Sun Times
"-Advantage of ISFA owning Cubs, more night games. Closer to league average of 54."
I was under the impression that the Cubs have always tried to play more night games but the city won't allow it.
Re: Night Games
"I was under the impression that the Cubs have always tried to play more night games but the city won't allow it."
That is true Chad, it has nothing to do with who owns the stadium, it has to do with Wrigeyville. I still haven't heard one good reason for the city to own Wrigley except it guarantees the team to stay there for 30 years since they are going to stronghold new owner into a 30 year lease.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Split Squad Action
That 'First Amendment' crap is nonsense. And apologies to all, but it's so horribly misused and misunderstood that it bugs me.
Cliff Notes: It's a FEDERAL issue. I don't think washington dc is going after the wrigley marquee (marquis?) - so the 1st amend. has nothing to do with anything.
It's your sign. You CAN do whatever you want with it, but the real question is SHOULD you?
Re: Marquee
"It's your sign. You CAN do whatever you want with it, but the real question is SHOULD you?"
It isn't totally theirs. I think it is one of the things that is under historical status and thus needs approval from someone else, not sure if it is the City/State/Federal governments, to make changes.
The more Crane Kenney talks and acts like the new face of the Cubs, the more reason I see why the Trib was doing so bad.
Re: Marquee
you cant replace a doorknob at wrigley without the proper paperwork.
every tax advantage they take requires the proper paperwork. they're the ones that wanted the landmark status.
Re: Marquee
That's exactly my point.
The advantages for landmark status demand cooperating with state agencies and restrictions inherent in the designation, but to claim some overarching federal mandate like 'free speech' is being impeded is the height of absurdity.
And I wasn't all that clear in my comments earlier - what I mean is, yes, they own the marquee and can do with it what they want (not entirely true I know as there are governmental issues) but should they (do they really want to set into motion the governmental dominoes that have to fall to alter signage?)
Re: Marquee
Kenney should just shut up and leave the 1st amendment interpretation to the lawyers. Oh wait. Aren't they the ones who misused it in the first place?
Soto's weight
This was asked before, not sure if there was an answer or consensus -- I'm watching the game on WGN and Soto does look heavier than he did last September. What do people think?

Re: Soto's weight

Re: Gameday Open Thread / Split Squad Action
loober delivering with the 82-86mph HEAT!!!
great location for him early...impressive even if the velocity is (hopefully) still working its way up.
added bonus...he was throwing his sinker. he had almost abandoned it the past couple years. his sinker was at 82-84mph, though...
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Split Squad Action
loober works 4 today...a little wild up in the inning, but got it done.
couldnt ARZ field some legit regulars today? wtf...
judging loober by things you should judge him by this early in spring...his slider and location...both are there and pretty advanced for this time of year. his velocity is working the low-mid 80s, though. as mentioned above he's breaking out his splitfinger...the first batter of the game got almost nothing but splitters.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Split Squad Action
Did Owings bat 7th?!?
Drew and Reynolds are regulars. Guess that's what you get for a road split squad game.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Split Squad Action
The Cubs only started one regular (and their worst at that) at their road game.
Looks like Roquet bailed out Marshall... get used to that if you want to be in the Cubs pen.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Split Squad Action
samninja got lit up a bit in the boxscore...
Re: Marshall
Man, I hope he continues his success through the Spring. He had a real good performance again today 3.0 IP, 2 hits, 2 K, 0 BB, 0 ER. I hope Lou doesn't just give it to a "veteran" and push Marshall to the pen or AAA like he did last year. Marshall deserves a legit shot.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Split Squad Action
Early in the game Len or Bob mentioned Dempster was the #3 starter followed by Rich Hill at #4 with Lieber, Marshall, Marquis in a battle for the 5th.
Dont ask me how they came to that conclusion.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Split Squad Action
Bob also seems to be pretty sure howry isn't going to move out of his setup role. He did mention that howry is still in the competition for the mix, though.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Split Squad Action
fuku with his first SB attempt...late jump, not sprinting fast...nailed by a step and 1/2 on a low (but clean) throw.

I though the way Lee went after that pitch, and the bad jump indicated it was a hit and run.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Split Squad Action
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Split Squad Action
I was a little disapointed to see Lansford not make the play on that first hit of the inning. The way everyone's talking up his D, I'm looking for Brooks Robinson.

I saw part of the Ari game, but with no sound (stupid BW's) ... anyhoo, who's wearing #80, was that Vitters?!?!
Re:Crane Kenney nuggets in Sun Times
I posted this a couple of days ago but it makes more sense in this thread.
There's an interesting short piece on the state buying Wrigley Field in The Reader that came out today. Ben Joravsky, who has written a lot on Chicago's TIF (tax increment financing) says-
"Under the plan the state would issue bonds to pay for rebuilding Wrigley... Here's the tricky part: sales taxes going to the city would be frozen and any increase in revenues spurred by the renovation (including extra seats) would go to the state to repay the loans. 'The city would have to give up their share of the sales tax increment for the next 30 years,' Jim Thompson said."
A Joravsky correctly points out later in the article - money spent to refurbish Wrigley Field is money that can't be spent elsewhere. It's tied up in the park and will be slowly paid back from now until the year 2038. The needs of things like schools and parks will have to be payed for with money found elsewhere - probably through service cuts and tax hikes.
It's the same as so many companies these days who are supposedly free market concerns - they socialize their risk by using government dough. Nice work if you can get it...

it's been a tough past couple weeks...except that reds series. i miss playing the reds. that was cool.
To take my mind of this latest disaster...wow, I thought baseball money was crazy, but NBA money is now super-wacko crazy. Joakim Noah is 31 with bad knees and absolutely no offensive game. He can't make a layup. The Knicks just agreed to pay him $72M over 4 years. Holy crap.
Thank you, Jason, for allowing me to get to bed at a decent hour. Very thoughtful.
It will be very interesting to see what Theo does at the deadline. Of course, if Jake doesn't get straightened out, it really doesn't matter. A lot of Jake's comments this year, and his posing for nudie pics in the ESPN magazine, rang some alarm bells -- after one great year (and it was amazingly great), his head has swelled tremendously. Jake, look up the word "hubris", then look in the mirror.
...and we're back from the 3rd rain delay.
at least the cubs have a decent backup of...ummmm....well the minor league system has...uhhh...hmmm.
maybe adam warren can manage to throw less than 100 pitches in 5 innings? no?
well damn.
Not to worry -- I'm sure Hammel will finish strong in the 2nd half of the season (~sad chuckle, reaches for Scotch bottle~).
Hammel has had a rather challenging last month. I am hoping post-break that Hendrix gets pushed ahead of him. They'll be lucky to win a game in NY
hey, alright...cubs losing by 9 and a 3rd rain delay. awesome.
If baseball does not work out for Patton, I think he's got a future in Civil War re-enactments. He's got a solid Johnny-Reb look to him.
David Ross - the mound awaits you.
RIP jason hammel's awesome ERA.
10 ER in 4ip...almost a full point tacked on tonight, alone. 5HR given up tonight. oogly.
Nimmo certainly does not want to see the Cubs leave town. His first MLB rbi last night and now his first HR.
At least Hammel is eating some innings ... this is the kind of game Peralta should be used if at all.
OK, the hell with it.
It's July 1 -- Hammel starting to suck right on schedule.
Other than sweeping the Reds -- a bad team actively trying to lose -- this will make 8 losses in 9 games to good teams (Cards, Marlins, Mets). Not good at all.
Belicheat a consultant for the Red Sox?
And, so, Jason Hammel decides to test my new resolution right away. Sheesh.
No Wright, no Duda, no Granderson -- no problem for NY. Ugh.

Arizona's big 4th quarter sends Utah to its first losing season since '02
SALT LAKE CITY -- Ka'Deem Carey rushed for 204 yards and Arizona scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter as the Wildcats defeated Utah 34-24 Saturday and guaranteed the Utes their first losing season since 2002.
Utah (4-7, 2-6 Pac-12) took a 24-17 on Travis Wilson's 36-yard touchdown pass to DeVonte Christopher late in the third quarter, but the Wildcats answered with touchdowns 3 minutes apart early in the fourth.
Daniel Jenkins tied it on a 2-yard TD run, and Matt Scott tossed an 18-yard scoring pass to Austin Hill with 11:07 left.
John Bonano's second field goal of the night, a 24-yarder, sealed the win for Arizona (7-4, 4-4) with 1:15 remaining.
Wilson passed for a career-high 311 yards and two touchdowns, but also fumbled.
Utah scored on a fake field goal but saw the game turn in the fourth quarter on a failed fake punt.
John White had 112 yards rushing for the Utes.
Scott was back after missing last week because of a concussion. He started slowly, but he ran for a touchdown and tossed the game-winner to Hill.
Scott finished 12 of 27 for 160 yards.
Arizona did most of its damage on the ground against the Pac-12's third-ranked defense, rolling up 320 yards rushing.
Carey averaged 7.8 yards a carry and scored Arizona's first touchdown.
Jenkins scored the third with 13:55 remaining.
He was stopped on third and 1 at the 4, but a hands-to-the face penalty against Star Lotulelei gave Arizona a first down at the 2. A missed tackle by Nate Fakahafua allowed Jenkins to bounce outside and score on the next play.
Arizona's much-maligned defense then held, forcing a punt. But Utah's coaches called for the fake.
Punter Sean Sellwood completed the pass to Mike Honeycutt on fourth and 6, but Honeycutt was stopped four yards short of the first down by Kylan Butler, giving Arizona the ball at the Utah 41.
Scott rolled out right four plays later to connect with Hill.
The teams combined for 929 yards of offense. While Utah held a 10-minute advantage in time of possession, mistakes hurt the Utes, who will see their string of nine straight bowl appearances end.
Last week, Carey rushed for five touchdowns and 366 yards to shatter school and conference rushing records.
He found it tougher against the Utes, but he still had 110 yards on 14 carries at halftime.
The Utes hoped their final home game for 25 seniors would provide the inspiration they needed to beat Arizona.
But the Wildcats scored two touchdowns less than 90 seconds apart in the second quarter to take a 17-7 lead.
Carey's 1-yard run capped an eight-play, 75-yard drive and gave the Wildcats a 10-7 lead.
Wilson fumbled on Utah's next play from scrimmage as the ball slipped out of his hand as he dropped back to pass.
Five plays later, Scott practically walked into the end zone from 10 yards out. Utah had only 10 men on the field on the play as safety Brian Blechen was force to leave because of a problem with his helmet.
Utah answered with a nine-play, 70-yard drive, with Wilson's 34-yard TD pass to Jake Murphy pulling the Utes within 17-14.
Coleman Petersen tied it at 17-all midway through the third on a 24-yard field goal.
Both teams blew scoring opportunities.
Utah's first two drives ended on failed fourth-down conversions, the second on fourth and 1 at the Arizona 4 as White was tackled for a 1-yard loss, six plays after Carey fumbled at his own 28-yard-line.
Arizona was driving late in the second quarter and had a first and goal at the Utah 7, but Scott fumbled the handoff, and Nate Fakahafua recovered with 33 seconds left in the half.
Going against the Pac-12's worst pass defense, Wilson had more yards passing in the first quarter (62) than he had in the entire game against Washington (55).
He also was much sharper, completing 11 of 15 passes for 133 in the first half and 28 of 40 overall.
Utah got on the board on a fake field goal. Holder Sellwood flipped the ball to place-kicker Coleman Petersen, who picked up a key block from Jake Murphy to get around right end for a 7-3 lead with 12:10 left in the second quarter.

It's the last week of voting for Stir's microgrant program for Season 2 and my project, World Photo Day is in the running to score funding to further develop the project.
I'd love your support and you can vote for my project on the website at worldphotoday.com/support.
The World Photo Day project first launched in 2010 and since then, I'd been working on it in my spare time as I travelled around Australia. There's only so much that you can achieve while living out of a car so this year, 2016, I made the decision to stop travelling and to focus on building World Photo Day into the global celebration that I always wanted to see it become.
Applying for the Stir Microgrant has been one of the many steps involved in changing the focus of World Photo Day from a casual project into a global photography event.
I'm looking forward to the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. There's incredible potential in World Photo Day and I'm excited to realise the positive global impact that can be made though the celebration photography.
Will you join this global photography celebration with me?
Here's are the details about the project and what I'm trying to achieve here in Canberra:
A Canberra-based project that's uniting a community of young guns to develop the world's largest photography event.
Ever thought about creating a World/National Day? In 2009, I did just that when I started World Photo Day while sitting on my bed at home right here in Canberra. Six years later, hundreds of thousands of people around the world celebrate photography every August.
World Photo Day is a global photography celebration that's uniting local and global communities in a worldwide celebration of photography. We're using technology to connect with ordinary people that love taking photos and we're using those connections to promote a passion for photography that positively impacts our communities.
Photography is a powerful method of communication that we can use to uplift people and initiate change in our world. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and those words can be in any of the 6,500 languages on planet earth.
World Photo Day has been a project that has challenged me to grow and develop a whole range of unique skills that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn in an entry level position or internship. Part of the growth strategy of World Photo Day is to connect with young people passionate about turning ideas into reality and giving them a platform they can do that on. Whether it's the development of a social media strategy or the production of an advertising campaign, I believe that young people have the ability to do great things when given the chance.
World Photo Day is removing the barrier to gain experience not just in developing ideas and strategies but pitching them, implementing them and taking ownership of their decisions. The challenging and inspiring part of all this? It's real, and it's on a global stage!
I'm a local Canberran, and out of our humble little city, I've developed the foundation of the world's largest community focused photography event. But the vision is way too big for one young gun to achieve on their own.
I built World Photo Day for community, and I want to develop it together with community. Building out the World Photo Day vision requires a whole community of young guns, and I'm working on building that community of passionate young people as you read this.
In a world where experience is a vital part of entering employment, I believe that this project will be a powerful tool in Canberra to encourage passionate young people to demonstrate and develop their skills under a global spotlight. That's a pretty cool opportunity!
World Photo Day already has an established community with 47,000 Facebook fans, 4,000 Instagram followers and 4,000 Twitter followers. We also have over 11,000 registered participants on our website from 111 countries.
The project is currently going through a period of growth with a focus to become a financially sustainable event. We're leveraging our existing community to build World Photo Day out from just a "Day" into a brand that influences the global photography community all year round. Some projects include the launch of a podcast, industry news blogging and a tutorial platform that encourages photographers to share their knowledge with others.
Funding from Stir will be used to support the costs of implementing solutions that will help group based collaboration.
Some of the business grade solutions I am currently deploying include: Google for Work, Insightly CRM and GIT Source Code Management.
Currently, World Photo Day is primarily a web-based celebration. In 2017, I want to pursue the launch of local photography themed community events run in cities across the world. Including here in Canberra.

Canberra was (kind of still is) a city defined by government departments and public servants. It's quickly changing and there's a growing community that's focused on developing great ideas into reality. Innovation is the future of the new Canberra and I'm stoked to be part of this exciting new chapter of my home city.
I've recently gotten involved with the events hosted by the Canberra Innovation Network. I've had the chance to start many exciting conversations with people passionate about developing their ideas to create a better city through technology and community. This is one of the reasons why I decided to come back to Canberra in 2016 to focus on helping build passionate communities through technology.
Since coming back to Canberra, I've realised the effort that it takes to integrate into a new city (or back into one). I've just spent 5 years working in Agriculture and now, I'm connecting with people to chat about the development of community through the implementation of new and upcoming technology.
Here are some highlights of the conversations I've had this month:
A few weeks ago, I attended an innovation networking event and I met a few interesting people. I was told about a microgrant that was available in Canberra called Stir. If you're a creator and have an idea you want to pursue, I highly recommend that you take a look at what Stir is about. They provide guidance to help you transition your idea into a real project on paper then provide a simple platform to help you pitch your idea to the community for funding.
With funding available up to twice a year, it's worth checking it out. You can find my project, World Photo Day on Stir.
While I'm on the topic of Stir, support some of the passionate people I've chatted to during my conversations. Just follow the links and hit support project if you like what they're doing.
This week, I invited one of my neighbours, Lyndon over for a few beers, we chatted about his real estate business and his passion for Canberra. I talked about World Photo Day. Our beers turned into dinner upstairs at his place and we continued chatting about pursuing our big ideas.
Lyndon is an experienced real estate agent and just started Suburban Property Consulting. If you're looking to sell your own property with professional marketing and support, get in touch with Lyndon. If you're looking for a hands-off approach, he can also sell your property for you.
Last weekend, I joined the volunteer team at parkrun Burley Griffin to help capture their first ever park run and with 435 runners, they set a new record for parkrun in Canberra. What a privilege it was to be part of that first run. I'll be down there most Saturdays either volunteering or running so be sure to come down to see what park run is about and say hello!
Parkrun is a free timed 5km run hosted every Saturday at 8am at defined locations around Canberra. Check out the website to learn more about parkrun.
If you're interested in maintaining your fitness over winter, take on the challenge of Canberra's invigorating climate and join park run. With the addition of Burley Griffin, there's now four parkruns in Canberra. Tuggeranong parkrun, Ginninderra parkrun, Gungahlin parkrun and Burley Griffin parkrun.

Canberra parkrun is my winter running motivation. With the chill coming in this last week, Winter has started closing in on us Canberrans and with that, many of us will choose to stay rugged up indoors, avoiding the weekly run.
Every winter, I've been in the habit of dropping off many of my outdoor activities to avoid the cold weather and it has routinely impacted my fitness level. After 5 years out of town, I'm back in Canberra and I'm determined to try and maintain my fitness over the colder months. It was never pleasant to find that I lacked the cardio to chase a frisbee when the weather warmed up towards the end of each year.
Over the years, I've been involved with parkrun, a FREE community 5km run that's held every Saturday. It's open to participants of all fitness levels and it's timed to help you track your running progress each week.
Even if it's once a week, getting out and going for a run is a fantastic way to fit some cardio into the week. Hopefully, having a timed Personal Best will challenge you to fit in an extra run mid-week as well.
I've really enjoyed getting involved with parkrun. If you can't run because of injury or any other condition, parkrun is always looking for volunteers so you can still be involved in the community. Active runners are also part of the volunteering team that helps keep parkrun running!
You can find out more and register for a time tracking barcode on the parkrun website.
There's currently three Canberra parkrun groups (Tuggeranong parkrun, Ginninderra parkrun and Gungahlin parkrun). A fourth parkrun, Burley Griffin parkrun is due to launch on 18 June 2016. I've had many friends come along to enjoy the positive vibe of the diverse group of runners at parkrun and recommend it to anyone keen to keep fit this winter.
I'll be running down at Tuggeranong parkrun until the new Burley Griffin parkrun kicks off in June. It would be fantastic to see some of you there and I'm always keen to hang around after to grab a coffee and to catch up.

Normally, coming home is the end of an adventure. You've had a great time exploring the world and now, reality has called you back. Bugger. It's when real life starts to sink back in.
This week has been a "rest" (less full on) week. I had enough time to reflect on what the rest of my year is going to look like. Real life… I mused to myself. What does that even look like?
Just to bring things into perspective, I've lived out of my car for 5 years. I've driven over 300,000km over those 5 years met some great people and seen some pretty spectacular things.
When I moved back into my apartment, I pulled my duvet/pillows out of my swag and made my bed. I then carried up a suitcase and a few pelican cases of photography gear. This was everything I needed to live my comfortable life. I don't own much stuff. It surprised me how little I had. In the car, I felt like I always had too much. In a room? It looks pretty empty.
Whoops… Back to real life talk: At that point, I still hadn't worked out what "real life" looked like in my world. I certainly didn't want it to be the real life that I left behind 5 years ago. A life locked in a 'normal' weekly routine. I couldn't get sucked back into that. I'd need another 5 years to reset!
I have a plan though. A plan to make sure that I don't get sucked back into "normal". When I'm asked what I did during the week, I never want to reply "Oh yeah, the same as usual".
This year, my goal is to live intentionally, to keep exploring and re-discover home. Since I left Canberra 5 years ago, things have changed. I've changed and Canberra has changed. I'm going to re-explore the city that I've always called home. I might not be crossing Australia again in a hurry but I'm going to keep exploring and I'm going to take you along with me.
I'm back home and this is the beginning of a whole new adventure. Canberra, let's show the world what makes this city great.
Join the journey on Twitter, Instagram, Periscope and Snapchat. You can find me as @korske.
P.S. I've just Co-Founded AusBackpacking. A project that aims to help young people travel Australia better. Please go check it out.

A few days ago, my trusty Nissan Patrol reached 500,000km on the odometer. Certainly an impressive feat for any vehicle and not without it's challenges!
My Dad bought the car new back in 1990 and I've been riding it in since I was two years old. I have great memories as a young fella heading down to the coast with the boat to go fishing. After Dad sold the boat, the Nissan sat in the carport, rarely used for 10 years.
When I decided that I wanted to tour Australia, Dad passed the car onto me with 180,000km on the clock. That was 5 years ago. In those 5 years, I've added over 300,000km of bitumen, sand, gravel and snow. I've used 60,000L of diesel, done 55 oil changes worn out 10 tires and replaced a clutch.
When I first started travelling, I didn't have any mechanical understanding of my vehicle. I had always sent my car into a workshop. I quickly discovered that I wouldn't be able to afford the cost of getting my car serviced with the kilometres I would be driving. As I travelled, I quickly worked out how to service, maintain and repair the old Nissan and in doing so, I've saved over $25,000 in workshop costs over the last 5 years.
From basic oil and filter changes all the way though to installing a lift kit and replacing my clutch, I've managed to work out how most things work on the ol' Nissan.
I even managed to do some panel work on it after hitting a cow at 80km/h on the highway. Turning a $15,000 write-off into a $3,000 repair project.
I'm often asked if I've had problems with the car and the simple answer is "No, I haven't". The The old Nissan (with the TD42 motor) is a workhorse and if you look after it, it doesn't stop. But looking after it is the key and you'll find that many people push the limits of their vehicle too far and for too long causing damage that costs thousands of dollars. I don't know anyone my age that has self-maintained a car for 300,000km and crossed that 500,000km without any serious mechanical issues.
On the road, I've had 2 punctures and 2 big blowouts. The blowouts, I could have avoided with higher air pressures in my tires. Lesson learnt.
I've had a blown radiator hoses, leaking injector lines, a cracked thermostat outlet and blocked fuel filters. Heck, I've even pulled up on the side of the road to weld up a broken exhaust pipe in the middle of the Western Australian outback.
One of the many lessons I've learnt on the road is to have the confidence to make informed decisions. When you're out of phone range and up to 1000km from the nearest town, you have to think way out of the box. Finding the nearest fence for some wire or using tape to fix a cracked radiator housing is just the beginning of travelling those big k's across Australia.
Here's to the next milestone, the big 1,000,000.

The sun sets on another day as smoke from the surrounding fires blow over the farm. Almost 200,000ha of land has been burnt. Four lives have been lost in the district.
Last night, a team from our farm fought fires nearby at Cape Arid with the local volunteer fire brigade. The team put in a mammoth effort into the night to fight the blaze before it was big enough to get a mention on the news. A small win that saved numerous properties and homes.
The fire closest to me is now burning eastward, away from property into the national park.
While I serviced our fire tanker, my co-workers were organising transport for livestock that have lost access to feed and water. Farmers have started to shoot their stock to save them from death by burns and dehydration. It's estimated that over 15,000 animals have died in the fires.
A cool change today has been very welcome but there's talk of big winds in the early morning an I'm on standby along with my workmates to fight fires with the local firefighters tonight if the conditions change in the middle of the night.
The property I'm on is safe at the moment. We've taken as many precautions as possible and stand in a "Watch and Act" zone. #fire #esperance #bushfire #esperancefires

Don't be fooled by the nice photo. After a 43 degree day, we have fires blazing all around us here in Esperance, WA. You can see the smoke haze in the photo. I'm safe at the moment but the whole farm had spent the afternoon preparing for the worst. We've moved livestock, machinery and organised our firefighting gear.
We've got one worker driving a water tanker heading to a neighbouring fire, two more on the farm fire truck heading to another fire and I'm building fire fighting rig with whatever I can find in case embers fly our way.
Your thoughts, prayers, good karma and anything else you can send would be appreciated. #fire #esperance #haze

Uluru has been high on my list of places to explore and 5 years after starting my adventure across Australia, I've finally made it to the centre.
We spent a night at the Yulara Campground where the facilities were fantastic. There were people of all ages and backgrounds there and the atmosphere was great.
Waking up up at 5:30 we headed off to meet the sunrise at Uluru. Arriving before the tour busses, we had the chance to enjoy the stillness of central Australia.
The sunrise started as a dud with clouds blocking the light. By 6:45, all the tour busses had left. We were glad we had driven, not having an itinerary meant we could hang around till the light changed and boy was it worth it!
Photo Tip: If you're looking to take a photo, the best spot isn't from the viewing platform, it's actually on the bottom pathway. I'll post a map soon!
After the sunrise, we checked out the cultural centre. Seeing the rock is one thing, learning about the land and the people on it was even more fascinating. It's incredible to think that people survived in such an arid climate.
With a little more knowledge packed in, we drove to the base of Uluru, determined to walk around it. An 11km walk with a gazetted walking time of 3.5 hours. The four of us (at various levels of fitness) did it in 3 hours.
The climb to the top was closed due to the high wind that day. It didn't bother us, we'd already committed to not climbing the rock, based on the wishes of the traditional land owners.
Almost walked out, we headed to the Tata Tjuta's to check out the valley of the winds. 6km of hiking though rocky country. The view at the end? Incredible! Definitely worth the trek!
After a few photos from the two lookouts (sunset platform/dune lookout), we started on the long drive to our next camp. We pulled up at a rest stop 2 hours from Alice Springs at 10pm.
A serving of tinned soup and we were out like lights.

Wow, what a day. The sun set a few hours ago and the first leg of my latest adventure is over. In just 1.5 days we've driven over 1600km from Adelaide to Yulara, the township next to Uluru (Ayres Rock).
Friday morning started with picking up 2 new friends Jonas (Germany) and Elissa (Wales) who were joining me on the trip. Joel, an old Canberra friend was also joining us. That morning, I also ended up with a few unexpected mechanical problems, a busted heater hose and cracked thermostat housing. After bush mechanicing the problems, I went around town finding spare parts.
We hit the road and left Adelaide at 6pm. With a blown radiator hose at 2:30am, we pulled up for 30 minutes, letting the engine cool down, replacing the hose and filling her up with water again. Being prepared and having a little knowledge is so important in the outback. We setup up for camp at 3:30am just outside of Coober Pedy.
The next morning, we pulled up to take photos of the Coober Pedy sign, ran over with some shrapnel and ended up with a puncture.
I rolled into Coober Pedy and made a bee-line for the tire shop. Yarning away with the bloke running the show I found out that he'd been working in Coober Pedy for 15 years.
With two flat tires in tow, I asked if he could pull some magic to repair the tires. Knowing that they were done for, I was dreading the bill that was about to follow (two tires would set me back $700). At this stage, I still had 5000km to drive and a couple hundred dollars in my bank account.
I prayed like mad in that moment, knowing that I had absolutely no control of the situation and asked the bloke to do what he needed to do for me to hit the road with at least one spare.
I watched him work and we chatted about life in Coober Pedy. 20 minutes later, he'd found, patched and fitted 2 second hand tires. "Not the prettiest tires" he said "but they're better than two flat ones". I asked what I owed. "Don't worry about it, glad to be able to get you back on the road" was the reply.
The situation changed from a $700 to $0. God sure pulled through in that moment!
We hit the road again, heading for a fuel stop in a town called Marla and then travelled onwards from Marla to Yulara.
Along the way, we stopped for dinner on the side of the road and cooked some pasta as the sunset in the middle of Australia. How spectacular! You can see it in the photo above.
We pulled up at 10pm. Much better than the 3:30am night before. Planning for a 5:30am start to see the sunrise over Uluru, we hit bed pretty quick!
Red dirt, come at us!
I learnt some interesting things today.

NEW YORK - Promo editing house Editional Effects (www.editionaleffects.com) recently completed an expansion of its facilities that includes the addition of two Digidesign Pro Tools-based audio suites featuring Yamaha mixing consoles. The two audio rooms will help Editional Effects provide end-to-end post services, as it already offers four Avid editing rooms, as well as graphics design, animation and compositing systems.
The new sound rooms bring the facility's total space to 6,000 square feet and are centered around the DAW maker's Pro Tools|HD3 systems with the A/V option.
Sound veteran Roy Harter serves as co-partner in the new venture, coming to the editing house from Clack/Hothead Studios where he spent seven years as an engineer and sound designer. His accomplishments include composing and engineering all of the music for the Noggin children network's relaunch, as well as sound design and mixing for the highly-rated Nickelodeon special "Rugrats All Growed Up."
Harter's brother Ken also joined the studio, bringing with him engineering, mixing and composition skills. Ken Harter previously spent time at Blink FX.

Walk into the Elite Four PokeCenter and go to the Elite Four. There is a door higher up on the screen if you move forward. You should now be in a room with Lorelei standing on a large platform with water around it. You can fish here for Pokemon, however the only thing that can be caught, even with the best rod, is Lvl. 15 Goldeen and Lvl. 5 Magikarp. Note: Surfing around here does nothing.

Arsenic & Old Lace
Posted in the Blackstone Forum
United States
#1 May 27, 2009
The Southside Area Community Theater is working very hard to provide family entertainment by way of live theater productions in Nottoway County. They really are first rate. Opening night for their production of Arsenic & Old Lace is this Thursday evening at Mitchell's Restaurant. Check out the Courier Record for times. Reservations are required. Try it; you might like it =:)
#2 May 28, 2009
My school did that when I was a senior in highschool. Very funny.
#3 May 28, 2009
we are looking for some real entertainment. I am sorry I might like seeing my kids perform on stage but that is only because they feel they have made an achievement. eventually we do grow out of those years though. But they do say as you get older you go back in time. So I guess that works for some. But I can assure you when you look around at Aresenic & Old Lace event you won't see to many youngsters hang in for it.

Your loss. As long as people fail to take advantage of new and interesting opportunities, they will not only be physically forever in Southside Virginia, but intellectually stuck here as well.
#5 May 29, 2009
But they have fun doing it and the memories made in school last for a lifetime.
#6 Jun 11, 2009
The point that was being made is that you need to have more new and interesting things for the young people as well as the old equally. We all know that Nottoway cares about the old people we all do. We are just trying to get as much activity for the young. What is wrong with that. If you check out the Blackstone webpage there is plenty of activity for the elders not nearly as much for the youth. That is the complaint. It isn't to much to ask. Why act like the youth are meaningless they are our tomorrow. There is no one condemning the elders reliving the yesteryears but there seems to be problems among the elders when the youth say they want more. Why is that? You say so quickly what you feel is best for you. But step out the box and see what is best for the whole. How about that. I am so tired of hearing how change is happening when it is still those looking out for themselves. The youth needs more! Again I love and respect all my elders but there is a time when the elders have to realize thier own roots and I am sure you all have shared your days of wild oats and you still try to relive those times but now you criticize the youth rights to have their own wild oats. Oh yeah I don't want my children to do what I have done. Well guess what we all have to learn from our own mistakes and it is well known that none of us ever learns from others mistakes. So quit squabbing and let the new come in. I am sorry I don't want my kids to go and gamble playing bingo. But you know they may decide in time that is what they want to do. I am well aware they will make many tough decisions and the ones they make I am sure they will learn from them as we all must do.
#7 Jun 11, 2009
I use to love to set and listen to my grandma and pa about the good old days but that was their days not mine! I haven't had the chance to make my memories here in Blackstone because there is nothing for me to make memories on. I've been told about the resevoir; when they had boaters; swimming; skieing and the falls. You old folks did have some things to do! I've been told about the bad things here and the good but now I want to make memories both good and maybe some bad. But let it be my decision not your's!Tell me what is there for us to do? Go to Petersburge or Richmond to have fun? Then be fussed at because we went to the big bad city? Give us something to do! Something and some way to have our fun! We want to make our time here to be something to remember not live by your memories! I agree with the bloggers who say bring in the new! Get rid of the old! I respect my grandparents and the elderly folks I have met; however; The biggest part of my summer is sneaking my dad's booze and hoping I don't get caught; making out in the back seat with my boyfriend and hoping They don't find out and standing on the corner trying to get someone to let me wash their car! Oh! This is real fun??? Holding up signs and yelling at strangers let me wash your car! I remember when a small kid [don't talk to strangers] Now I'm yelling at them!
I want to dance! Not with the old men with clammy hands! I want to shoot pool! Not with a cop coming in every five mintues! I want things to do like a lot of kids! What have you got for us besides the drugs that is just about anywheres you want to look! I don't want to do that I hear it isn't good for you but how do we get to have our fun if it's not to escape from this real world you old folks have given us?
#8 Jun 11, 2009
Dynomite; I don't know yet who you might be but I think I'll have to keep a closer watch on my grandchildren! Thanks!

I wonder why Crewe were so hard nosed with CYBRA and funds to remodel the field in Crewe. This group is doing something for the youth to help them grow and be somebody. I would say that you have to have a balance in the works. Allow some of us old foggies to help with the kids. All our ideas are not that bad. So doing plays like the one mentioned is good. We did it when I was 18.
#10 Jun 12, 2009
How long ago was that? 40 years? 50? How much did it cost? Could a kid aford it? Could they go in without a parent? Do you really think kids want this? I guess you did a lot with your mom and dad? The kids today aren't as inmature as we were! They know more at 13 now than we did at 17. We wanted to improved their education and make them learn more and guess what? They did; a lot faster and grew up a lot laster. Since we did this to them treat them as we made them.[Do what we say not as we do?]Talk to the kids; maybe you forgot how big a drag it was to hold mothers hand at 16! Let the kids express themselves. What you enjoyed at 18 may not be their bag! Let them deside what they want. Don't force your ideas on them!
#11 Jun 12, 2009
I needed to add a few more things The so call improvements you have mention is only for a select group. Now by this I mean "If you got the money then you are welcome" Some folks can't afford your type of intertainment! I say give the kids something they want to put their money in; besides drugs! Let them decide what they want to do with the money they make. We have done enough damage to our kids. We forced them to grow up before their time. We force them to take care of themselves so we could do what we wanted to. We made them grow up fast; so let them make their desicisons on what they want for this town. It's going to be theirs after you and I are dead and gone. What? Do you wish to try to control what they do from the grave? Set good examples not rules and you will give them something to live by!
#12 Jun 12, 2009
I see nothing wrong with lace and thongs. If they have all that I am sure to attend. lol.

I am still hung up on ferrah faucet here oopssss I almost messed up on my typing the key board keeps moving those little blue pills always mess me up at typing. And it makes my blood pressure go up too. lol so at these plays do wait before I pull out the dollar bills or what.
#16 Jun 12, 2009
you all are just plain silly lmao
#17 Jun 14, 2009
It helps to be silly, especially when it hurts to laugh but oh it helps.
#18 Jun 15, 2009
You know you are right.
#19 Jun 15, 2009
I cried enough so I know that sometimes you just have to laugh.
#20 Jun 16, 2009
Agape wouldn't you like to have more to smile about in our county. I find it sad to walk by these small shops and no one can afford to shop in them. Because I know they aren't to get the chance they really deserve because no one wants to really see improvement. I am saying lets see more smiles. Lets make people happy to live here, and Proud of the booming community. What is wrong with these things? There seem to be some bloggers who don't understand these very things.

ESPN says Lakers are talking Carmelo
Chris Broussard of ESPN.com says the Lakers and Nuggets are starting to talk about the idea of Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant's Olympic teammate, coming to L.A.
It wouldn't be a Pau Gasol-style giveaway: Andrew Bynum is involved, and the Nuggets don't have any interest in Ron Artest or Lamar Odom, according to the report.
The Nuggets also are talking to the Knicks about a possible three-team trade involving Minnesota.
Other Carmelo Anthony-Lakers news:
ESPN's Kamenetsky Brothers weigh in on trading Bynum
Carmelo Anthony scores 50, but Nuggets still lose
Spurs Nation wonders can the Nuggets afford to lose Anthony?
Or will Anthony end up with the NY Knicks?

Post Content
Posted by Shoukry Elnahal, MassDOT Deputy Chief Engineer for Bridges & Tunnels
Over the last few days, MassDOT and the Accelerated Bridge Program have received national attention and praise for using innovation to accelerate construction, improve safety and minimize construction-related congestion on I-93 and local roads during the replacement of fourteen bridges in Medford, a project known as the 93Fast14. Without the innovations that the Accelerated Bridge Program is using— Design-Build, Prefabricated Modular Units, and rapid-setting concrete— this project would take at least four years to complete and would require lengthy lane closures.
Last year's potholes on I-93 demonstrated that lane closures during peak travel hours are simply not an option for this project. The Accelerated Bridge Program's project development team and Highway Division leaders carefully planned the project so that much of the work could occur off-site, eliminating the need for several weeks of lane closures. Instead, each weekend MassDOT is demolishing and replacing one or two bridges.
Replacing a bridge or two in a weekend is a remarkable achievement, and there's a good reason why this project has been referred to as 'the most ambitious in the country'. Thanks to the coordination of managers and the dedicated work of each man and woman on site, the 93 Fast 14 bridges have been reopened hours ahead of schedule each weekend.
This week, the team was honored with a visit from Governor Patrick. This past weekend, the team hosted over 160 transportation leaders from as far away as Oregon, California and Puerto Rico. These leaders came to MassDOT to learn from this incredible project. Federal Highway Administrator Mendez visited the Salem Street Bridges, and was 'thoroughly impressed'.
In his Fast Lane blog, U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Ray LaHood, called the project 'an exciting demonstration of American innovation'. The project has also received favorable reviews from residents who have visited the site. Although the project is not without noisy weekends and short-term traffic slow-downs, it is wonderful to see the awe on onlookers' faces as the new bridge is assembled right before their eyes. It is excellent to know that this project eliminates years of crippling traffic congestion, avoids the work zone hazards of staged construction and will result in long-lasting improvements in important infrastructure for all.

October 24, 2007 - Beautiful amber color, floral on the nose with some spice notes. Nothing spectacular on the palate, but it's past its prime. All in all, a really solid medium-bodied wine at a great price.
