Faulty Towers The Dining Experience: Interactive Theatre International
This critically acclaimed show continues to win five-star reviews and standing ovations.
This pitch perfect tribute to Fawlty Towers starts as the audience waits to be seated then hurtles along for two hours of fully immersive, highly improvised and site-specific comedy theatre.
With only a third of the show scripted, everything stays fresh as Basil, Sybil and Manuel serve up madcap mayhem and a three-course meal – with the audience playing the part of their restaurant diners. Just don't mention the war!
Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is an affectionate homage to Fawlty Towers the TV series. The original TV scripts are not used.
Ticket price includes a three course meal with coffee and two hour interactive show. Drinks are not included in the price.
Customers must arrive at Ffresh bar half an hour before the performance starts.
Interactive Theatre International
Interactive Theatre International is a Professional Theatre Company based in Brisbane, Australia, and founded in 1997. Interactive Theatre as a concept removes the boundaries normally associated with theatrical performance: they are not limited to the traditional stage of mainhouse theatre; and whilst some scripting is involved, a great deal of the performance is improvised, bouncing off ideas offered by audience members.

OAKLAND -- The meanest man to put on a Warriors uniform in years was smiling and speaking in direct terms Saturday.
It's not complicated: You want to get past the Warriors, you have to go through Andrew Bogut.
That is not easy or painless, as the Denver Nuggets are discovering in this first-round series.
"It's working for us," the Warriors' 7-foot center said cheerily before Saturday's practice.
"I'm not going out there to hurt anybody or be cheap or anything. I'm just playing physical like they are.
"If someone steps up and wants to get into it, I've got no problem with that."
In the Warriors' scintillating Game 3 victory Friday, that meant a brief, heated skirmish with Denver center JaVale McGee.
It also has produced constant edginess with Kenneth Faried, McGee and any Nugget in a Bogut-sized radius, and his hard screens opened up space for Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Jarrett Jack.
"I hope fans understand how much havoc it causes when he goes out there and gives his body up for the betterment of the team," Jack said of Bogut.
Havoc is one way to put it. Other ways: bruises, body slams and bad intentions.
Warriors coach Mark Jackson proudly calls Bogut the team's enforcer and correctly says the franchise had lacked one until Bogut arrived.
Or, more specifically, until Bogut finally got his legs back after months of prolonged off/on ankle pain and recovery.
But now, just in time for the playoffs, this is the Bogut ferocity that the Warriors expected when they acquired him in a megadeal that sent Monta Ellis to Milwaukee in March 2012.
"I still don't think he's at full strength yet," Jack said of Bogut. "But I think people are starting to see what the big fuss was about."
After losing David Lee in Game 1, the Warriors still have out-rebounded Denver in every game of this series.
And Bogut has been the Warriors' best defensive player, by measure of advanced statistics and the number of Nuggets players irritated by Bogut's style.
"They're physical -- I mean, Kenneth Faried runs around and hits people," Bogut said. "We've just got to match their intensity.
"If it gets personal during games, guys want to have a crack at you, that's kind of playoff basketball."
Jackson points out that Bogut's edginess is rubbing off on rookie backup center Festus Ezeli, who lately has been aggressively challenging every shot he can.
So now the Warriors have two angry men at center? For a franchise used to a parade of Adonal Foyle, Patrick O'Bryant and Andris Biedrins, this is a dramatic development.
"I think I'm just angry this year with my ankle, to be honest," said Bogut, who is averaging 10.3 rebounds and two blocks per game in this series.
"I think I'm extra angry because it's been a frustrating year for me. So I guess I'm just letting all that emotion out in this playoff series."
The Warriors are up 2-1 in the series, with a game at Oracle Arena on Sunday; then they'll head back to Denver for Game 5, when Bogut will be the biggest villain in the house.
"That's how it should be," Bogut said. "I don't want them to like me. I don't want them to send me love messages and messages of positivity.
"I think if you look at yourself at the end of the series and the other team is saying, 'That was a good series, that was fun to watch,' no, no, we don't want that."
The meanest man in Warriorland won't get any of that. He's making sure of it, one crash at a time.

Sale of discounted merchandise to benefit Rise School
Buy for Rise will feature items from local retailers
Published: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 11:38 p.m.
This weekend's Buy for Rise event means a bonanza for bargain hunters.
Buy for Rise
What: Fundraiser for the Rise School, featuring bargains from more than 50 local merchants
When: Preview and silent auction 5-8 p.m. Friday; 8-11 a.m. Saturday
Where: Rise School, 600 Johnny Stallings Drive
Admission: $10 for pre-sale tickets or $15 at the door Friday; free admission Saturday
More information: Call 205-348-7931 or online at www.riseschool.ua.edu
Participating merchants
Anna Kate & Co., Baby Talk, Bag 101, Barton's Nursery & Gift, BeTween, Binion's, Black Warrior Outdoors, Bow Regards, Canterbury Clothiers, Christy's, Downtown Baby, Duet Art & Jewelry, Effie's, Enchanting Casuals, Everyday Indulgence, Faucetts, Fincher & Ozment Jewelers, Forget Me Not, Gilda's Salon & Day Spa, Gracefully Done, Heidi's Interiors, Hudson Poole Jewelers, Katelyn's Korner, Kyle Fine Stationery, Lily Pads & Baby Bundles, the Locker Room, the Purse Man, Lucca, Miss Priss Boutique, Mobley & Sons, Nancy & Co. Jewelers, Northport Pharmacy, Original Houndstooth, Pants Store, Part Two, Primadonnas at the Dance Center, Rhubarbs, Sash, Sew Delightful, Solo, Sugarfoots, Susus Tutus, the Trunk, the Toy Shoppe, Vintage Vibe, Wagners, Wild Birds Unlimited and Woods and Water.
More than 50 local retailers have donated merchandise that will be sold for up to 90 percent off the usual retail price.
All proceeds benefit the Rise School on the University of Alabama campus, which enrolls 98 preschool children, about half of whom have special needs. The program uses a creative curriculum that integrates therapy into the classroom.
"The therapy is provided in the classroom instead of (the students being) pulled out," said Martha Cook, executive director of Rise School. "That means that not only the children who need speech therapy are learning, but so are the children who don't, so everyone is accelerated. I think that's why we have a long, long waiting list. I could fill three buildings with the families who want to get into Rise."
Cook said the Buy for Rise charity sale and silent auction is a key fundraiser for the school.
"We don't have an operating budget," Cook said. "We have to raise that money every year. We have to raise over $300,000 a year for operating costs. That helps us hire people with Down syndrome, it helps us provide music therapy and all those kinds of things that we've got to have."
Friday, the first night of the event requires a ticket, which costs $15 at the door or $10 in advance. The ticket offers visitors a first look and a chance to buy the merchandise. There will be food catered by FIG and Hoo's Q.
"The first day, the mentality is the early bird gets the worm," said Jennifer Hamner, owner of Bow Regards, a Tuscaloosa gift shop. "You pay $10 to donate toward Rise and you get first pick of the merchandise."
On Friday, all of the merchandise will be marked down by 75 percent. Ticket holders will get the chance to shop from 5-8 p.m.
Cook said about half of the Buy for Rise items are clothes and about half are gift items. She said there will be something for everyone, with retailers ranging from sporting goods stores like Black Warrior Outdoors and Woods and Water, gift shops like Bow Regards and Anne Kate & Co., and clothing stores such as Vintage Vibe Boutique and Effie's.
"Hundreds of people come through — 5 o'clock is a little scary," Cook said. "It's kind of like that bridal shop that has that sale once a year in New Jersey."
On Saturday, admission to the sale is free and everything left from the night before will be marked down 90 percent off the original price. The public can shop from 8-11 a.m.
The Buy for Rise charity sale and silent auction began 10 years ago with an idea that Hamner had.
"Jennifer Hamner started it and has been very involved with it every year, so we're really grateful to her for her coming up with the idea," Cook said. "She said, 'We're all renting units to stash this stuff so we can put out winter and Christmas stuff, so why not get rid of it instead of having storage units full of stuff for next summer?' That was her idea, and it's just caught on."
Hamner said that, for her, the sale is a way to carry on the legacy of her grandfather, Paul Campbell, who helped generate the funding that kept the Rise School going when it was still housed in one room.
Today, the Rise School is in the Stallings Center, which opened on Nov. 30, 1994. According to its website, the building accommodates 12,000 visitors a year, has six classrooms and serves as a practicum and internship site for University of Alabama students.
The facility was named after former Alabama football coach Gene Stallings. His son, Johnny who died in 2008, had Down syndrome.
"We wanted to have a fitting tribute to him, not only for his success as a football coach, but also his success as a dad with Johnny," Cook said.
Tickets for Friday night are available now at Bow Regards and the Rise School. Anyone interested in donating to the program can find out more on the school's website, riseschool.ua.edu.

Answers FAQ
Reviewed by Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Take the Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) Quiz First! Before reading this FAQ, challenge yourself and
Test your Knowledge!
Q:Condoms are the best protection from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). True or False?
A:False. Okay, so this was kind of a trick question. The fact of the matter is that condoms provide good, but not perfect, protection against only some STDs (also referred to as sexually transmitted infections, or STIs), especially gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and trichomoniasis. Still, condoms do not provide complete protection against all STDs. Some STDs such as herpes, HPV (genital warts) and syphilis can still be transmitted through contact with areas that are necessarily not meant to be covered by a condom. Only abstinence (the voluntary self-denial of sex) will prevent 100% of STDs, 100% of the time.
Q:Early-stage sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) without symptoms are not contagious. True or False?
A:False. You can have an STD in the early stages with no symptoms and still pass it to another person. Many STDs don't have any symptoms in the early stages. When and if symptoms develop, they can seem like symptoms of other problems that aren't STDs, like stomach pains. This is why it is so important to get tested. Talk with health care practitioner if you have been sexually active in any way. Remember, you don't have to have symptoms to get tested for an STD.
Q:How many people in the U.S. have genital herpes?
A:45-50 million. Believe it or not, genital herpes is a common condition affecting around 45-50 million people in the United States. Meanwhile it is estimated that some 60% of sexually active adults carry the herpes virus.
Q:Hand-foot-mouth disease is an STD. True or False?
A:False. Hand-foot-mouth disease is not known to be sexually transmitted. Ectoparasitic infections are infections that are caused by tiny parasitic bugs (such as lice) or mites (such as scabies). Urethritis (inflammation of the urethra) begins with a burning sensation during urination and a thick or watery discharge. Chancroid starts out as a tender bump that emerges 3 to10 days (the incubation period) after the sexual exposure. The cells that form the bump then begin to die, and the bump becomes an ulcer (an open sore) that is usually painful.
Q:Gonorrhea is contracted sexually and from public or shared toilet seats. True or False?
A:False. Gonorrhea, one of the oldest known STDs, is a bacterial infection caused by the organism Neisseria gonorrheae and is sexually transmitted. Gonorrhea cannot be transmitted from toilet seats or door handles. The bacterium that causes gonorrhea requires very specific conditions for growth and reproduction and cannot live outside the body for more than a few seconds or minutes, nor can it live on the skin of the hands, arms, or legs. It survives only on moist surfaces within the body and is found most commonly in the vagina, and, more commonly, the cervix. Gonorrheal infection of the Fallopian tubes can lead to a serious, painful infection of the pelvis known as pelvic inflammatory disease or PID.
Q:Left untreated, which STD can cause deafness and death in its later stages?
A:Syphilis. There are three stages of syphilis, the first of which is formation of an ulcer (chancre). Secondary syphilis is a systemic stage of the disease, meaning that it can involve various organ systems of the body and can cause hair loss, sore throat, white patches in the nose, mouth and vagina, fever, and headaches. Tertiary (third) stage syphilis can cause a variety of problems throughout the body including heart problems, brain infection, weakness, deafness, and death.
Q:Which of the following is a possible symptom of an STD?
A:Bumps, sores, or warts near the mouth, anus, or vagina, painful urination, and painful sex. Sometimes, there are no symptoms of a sexually transmitted disease. If symptoms are present, they may include one or more of the following: bumps, sores, or warts near the mouth, anus, penis, or vagina; swelling or redness near the penis or vagina; skin rash; painful urination, weight loss, loose stools, or night sweats; aches, pains, fever, and chills; penile or vaginal discharge; vaginal bleeding other than a monthly period; painful sex, and severe itching near the penis or vagina.
Q:What STDs are caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis?
A:Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) and orchitis, epididymitis, urethritis, and chlamydia. These are some scary, perhaps little known diseases and complications of the bacterium that causes chlamydia. Lymphogranuloma venereum is an uncommon genital or anorectal (affecting the anus and/or rectum) disease that can cause genital ulcers, while orchitis (inflammation of the tube connecting the urethra and the testicles) and epididymitis are testicular disorders. Urethritis (inflammation of the urethra) in men begins with a burning sensation during urination and a thick or watery discharge that drips from the opening at the end of the penis. Infection without symptoms is common. The most common causes of urethritis are the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhea and Chlamydia trachomatis.
Q:Hepatitis C is not usually a sexually transmitted infection. True or False?
A:True. Hepatitis C is liver inflammation (hepatitis) that is caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The HCV causes acute and chronic viral C hepatitis. Unlike hepatitis B, however, hepatitis C is infrequently transmitted sexually, so it is an unusual STI (STD). It is primarily spread by exposure to infected blood, such as from sharing needles for drug use, piercing, tattooing, and occasionally sharing nasal straws for cocaine use.
Q:What is a tumor associated with HIV-infected men?
A:Kaposi's sarcoma. Human herpes virus 8 is a virus first identified in the 1990s that has been associated with Kaposi's sarcoma and possibly with a type of cancer called body cavity lymphoma (a tumor that arises from the lymph tissue). Kaposi's sarcoma is an unusual skin tumor that is seen primarily in HIV-infected men. Human herpes virus 8 has also been isolated in the semen of HIV-infected individuals. Because of these factors, the possibility has been raised that human herpes virus 8 is a sexually transmitted infection (STD, STI).
Q:How many people in the U.S. are living with HIV?
A:About 1 million. AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) has killed more than 25 million people since 1981. That's about half as many deaths as in World War II and it's not over. 1.1 million Americans are among the 33 million people now living with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Q:Condoms do not fully protect against the spread of AIDS. True or False?
A:True. Condoms are commonly thought to protect against STDs. Condoms are useful in decreasing the spread of certain infections, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea; however, they do not fully protect against other infections such as genital herpes, genital warts, syphilis, and AIDS. Prevention of the spread of STDs is dependent upon the counseling of at-risk individuals and the early diagnosis and treatment of infections.
Q:Kissing is the safest sexual activity. True or False?
A:False. Most people think that kissing is a safe activity. Unfortunately, syphilis, herpes, and other infections can be contracted through this relatively simple and apparently harmless act.

As seen on the cover of Country Living Magazine, October 2013!
We've come to the end of our new cake series,EEEK It's Halloween Week! A week full of innovative Halloween cakes, like none we had seen before. A huge thank you to the the five bakeries who participated in this special week of Halloween inspiration! Each is immensely talented and created such incredible designs. I am thrilled to have featured them all! If you missed any of them, you can find them all HERE.
So now that we're officially in the Halloween spirit and inspired to bake, here is a super easy DIY for you to try at home. There's no piping, no painting and no wrong way to do it! You just need marshmallows, two hands and some imagination! It's a creepy, crawly Marshmallow Cobweb Cake! And I have a simple tutorial to show you how to do it!
You know how marshmallows get stringy when melted? Well that makes for a super sticky, super easy spiderweb!
I think this cake would be a fun project, no matter your experience or skill level. If you're a medium to advanced baker, this cake will seem super easy and you'll be finished in no time flat. Beginners…. your end result will look more challenging than it actually was. Bonus for you! And you certainly don't have to tell anyone how easy it was. And if you really just don't bake at all, why not try out the marshmallow technique on a plain white cake from the market. It could be a fun way to get your hands a little sticky and surprise everyone, including yourself. There's really no right or wrong way for a spiderweb to look… so just go for it!
a DIY by Carrie Sellman
- Cake
- White Fondant
- Marshmallows (8 oz)
STEP 1 : Cover your cake(s) in white fondant.
STEP 2 : Place marshmallows into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds.
STEP 3 : Stir marshmallows. {Warning. Hot marshmallows will burn. And it hurts!}
STEP 4 : Keep stirring.
STEP 5 : Stir, stir, stir some more! Stir until marshmallows are cool enough to touch.
STEP 6 : This is where it gets messy. Or fun, depending on how you look at things. Using both hands, stretch a small glob of marshmallow out into a long, thin, stringy strand. Way, way longer and thinner than what is shown above (it was hard to get a picture of this exactly… especially with marshmallow covered hands).
STEP 7 : Start wrapping the stringy marshmallow around your cake. Go up, down, around and around. Diagonal. Every which way. There is no right or wrong way for a spider web to look. Just start wrapping. Go light at first until you get the hang of it. Less is more! And thinner strands look better in the end.
STEP 8 : Continue to pull, stretch and drape marshmallow strings. Going every direction way you possibly can.
STEP 9: Cover second tier in marshmallow strings. Stack both tiers together.
STEP 10 : Add additional marshmallow strings to both tiers, draping some from one tier to the next. Add a spider with long, spindly legs. And you're done!
BAKERS NOTE : I should have taken pictures while making the spider. My bad. But he's made of fondant and very straightforward. One oval for his body. A smaller circle for his head. And eight very long, exaggerated legs to make him extra creepy! Hey, a big spider had to be responsible for such a crazy cobweb!
ADDITIONAL NOTE : I realize I could have written this tutorial with much fewer steps. But I was having fun with sticky marshmallows and my new chalkboard backdrop! What to do you think? Do you like it? Want to see more of it in future posts?
I hope you've enjoyed Halloween Week here on the blog! And I hope you give my creepy, crawly Marshmallow Cobweb Cake a try! I think even the kiddos would enjoy this tutorial. Just make sure the marshmallow is cool enough for them to handle safely and be prepared to clean up some sticky hands. And faces. And tables. You get the idea!
UPDATE: I was tremendously honored to work with Country Living Magazine on their 2013 October issue. As it turns out, they enjoyed playing with melted marshmallows too! I'm honored that my sticky cobweb concept made the cover!

Lindenwood University is hosting the 30th Annual Midwest Research-to-Practice Conference in Adult, Continuing, Community and Extension Education. The conference, which will be from Sept. 21 to 23 at Ameristar Casino in St. Charles, Mo., provides a forum each year for practitioners and researchers to discuss practices, concepts, evaluation, and research studies to improve practices in the education of adults. This year over 40 papers were accepted for presentation from across the nation and even the world.
The conference is a very rare opportunity for local educators to access a wide array of information on the subject of adult education in one location over a few days. There are still spots available for attendees; registration costs $175 for professionals and $85 for students. The fee includes breakfast and lunch Thursday and Friday and a reception with hors d'oeuvres on Wednesday. Registration is available online at www.lindenwood.edu/mwr2p. Additional inquiries can be directed to Lindenwood's Dr. Beth Kania-Gosche at 636-949-4576 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lindenwood University professor Dr. John Henschke will present the keynote, "Nation Building through Andragogy and Lifelong Learning," on Thursday morning. Conference topics will cover all aspects of adult education from skills training to doctoral level higher education. One significant focus, Kania-Gosche said, is the use of technology in education.
"Anyone who teaches adults will find something of interest there," Kania-Gosche said.
A pre-conference will be held specifically for graduate students from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sept. 21; the cost to attend the preconference only is $30.
Kania-Gosche said the conference is organized annually by a group of educators from a variety of institutions who have in common a commitment to adult education. It has been hosted by Michigan State University, Ball State University, Ohio State University, and UM—St. Louis, among others. This is the first time it has been hosted by Lindenwood University.

I am using the C25K app and have just completed week 3. I head out in the morning before work and have chosen a really lovely route with terrific scenery. I've downloaded some great tunes everything from Maria Callas to the Rolling Stones, which has definitely taken my mind off all the pains (real and imaginery ) that I am feeling, but I am struggling!!!! I seem to have one day when I feel, Oh yes, this is finally getting easier, and then I'm puffing and panting, (not in a nice way) come the next session. I'm looking at the programme for week 4 and think its a huge leap. I do feel energised when I finally finish each session, but I need to hear from others who have come from my level of fitness (zero) and kept going. Help please!!
Im 44, 5ft 6" and weigh 10stone.
All I can tell you is that perseverence and tenacity will yield great results. When I started running 4 years ago I couldn't run a quarter mile without gasping for breath. I was so embarassed about my lack of running ability that whenever I saw a car or another person coming towards me I'd pull out my phone and pretend to be doing email. 2 years later I ran my first marathon.
I didn't follow a plan such as the C25K (I didn't even know that it existed) so my run-walk plan was to just try to run a little bit further every day. I would pick a spot, a lamp post or something, and make sure that I would run to that mark, then next day run 10 feet past it, and so on. Slowly I got so that I was finally able to run a full mile without walking (I don't remember how long it took me but it seems like forever), and then eventually 3 miles. I always give myself a little sly smile everytime I do something a little bit better or run a little bit further... I am sure that you know what I mean.
Keep cranking... the feeling of being more fit is tremendous. You won't regret the effort that you are putting into it. I don't !
Two things:
- On the bad days, chances are you're running a little faster/harder. (Maybe you're coming off one of those easy days and feeling good.) Try slowing down a little.
- There will always be bad days! No matter how accomplished you get at running, some days it just doesn't work.
If you didn't see a doctor before beginning your fitness program, schedule a check-up just to be safe; then follow your doctor's advice.
Be patient. Remember everyone progresses at their own pace; customize the plan your're using to your own fitness level. For example, repeat Week 3 if you don't feel ready to move on to Week 4, etc. Be sure you know the basics of how to stay properly hydrated, what proper pre- and post- run snacks/meal are, and when you should eat them. Check the weather, air quality and heat index where you live and plan accordingly.
Move at a pace that is just right for you. Listening to music makes a run less boring, but people have a tendency to adjust their pace to the beat of the music. Choose music that suits the pace you need to fit your fitness level. You can use web-based resources to get music customized to fit the pace/tempo you need.
I agree there are days I go out and feel really goodand others that I'm just not feeling it. I remember morethan one day where I stopped (sat down) and had a cry because I was doingso poorly. Then I got up and tried again. Therewill be good days and bad. On a bad one: SLOW DOWN! I can't say this oftenenough. Don't assume a bad day means that you aren'tready for that step or the next one. A bad dayis just that one off day. The next run you brush yourself (esteem) off and try again. It will get better. You will get stronger.
As for making it throughthose longer runs I don't focus on the long term goal. I focus on the short ones. Make it to that tree 200' up the road. Then to that mailbox 150' further. The fence post 225' away. The crack in the road 75' ahead. I'll make it there and when I get there I pick a new goal that I know Ican make it to if I just push a little. Yesterday I was having a bad day. My goal was a 25 minute jog. Iwas angry when I started because my husband picked a fight with me. I was tired because I'd only slept 5 hours 2nights in a row. I started jogging and Iwasn't feeling it at all. There is astop sign that's about 7 tenths of a mile from my house. My warm up walk was so slow I didn't evenmake it my usual ¼ mile. Less than a ¼ milefurther and I was wondering how I was even going to make it to the stopsign. I usually start looking for marksclose to the 1 mile mark but I was already picking them just hoping to make itthat far. When I got there I fullyintended to quit and try another day. Only when I got there I decided that I could make it to one more spot soI picked the next one. 25 minutes laterI was still picking a new goal and I ended up adding 5 extra minutes to my runso that I could get to the 1.5 miles jogging and 2 miles total spot that I'ddone the run before. I was slow even forme but I pushed on. I did have to stopand take a quick stretch and walk (less than a minute) when my leg cramps weregetting too bad, but having wanted to stop after 200' it was a greatsuccess. It reaffirmed that even a badday doesn't mean you have to give up or that you can't have a decent run.
Get up and try again! I think I must be setting a record for how many times I've been sidelined in my quest to actually run an entire 5K. Back injury, bronchitis, knee injury, bad cold, broken toe, biopsy. I am determined to make it.
2013 - Gritty Goddess Mud Run (Run/Walk)
2013 - Firefly Run (Run/Walk)
2014 - ??
My 6 year old ran in the Gritty Kids Mud Run and I couldn't keep up. LOL
I'm in the last week of C25k. I got stuck at the 7 week mark so I re-did week 6. First day of week 7 sucked again. So I changed up week 7 a bit to what I knew for sure I could do, ie I knew I could run 12 mintues, so I kept the total minutes the same, the total minutes of walk the same but changed the runs. My program called for 3 12 minute runs. I was struggling with the second 12 mintue run. So I changed it to extend the first 12 to 15 minutes, second run I reduced to 6 minutes since that's where I struggled and pulled up the third 12 minutes to 15. I must also throw out there which I think is probably more of the succes is I slowed it way down. Because of my schedule I had to start running on the treadmill which I put at what I thought was a comfortable pace which ends up being way slower than what I was running on my own. It also forced me to run at that consistent pace.
The other thing I tell myself is I know I can run XXX minutes because I've improved that much.
And finally I ditto what the others have said, "it's a bad run" so what, there's always another run!! I have also learned that running is hard, even for the experienced runner. They make it look easy but from what I read on the blogs I follow of experienced marathon runners, its HARD!
Keep going and you will reach your goal!
Len makes some very good points. I have been running for over 30 years (but only started running half marathons and marathons in the last 4 years). You probably are starting too fast on days you are struggling. I run turtle slow for about the first mile or so, then my body is warm and ready to go. Maybe you are running too often. Make sure you take some days off to let your legs recover - that is how you get stronger. And, yes, you will have bad running days - it is inevitable. Some days you feel like a world beater - some days the world is beating on you. Even experienced runners feel like this sometime. That is the nature of the beast. KEEP IT UP!! You will be rewarded by your hard work!
I used to really, REALLY struggle with my running. Distractions helped (like singing along to a great song), but there are three things that helped me the most.
1) Exercises to strengthen the glutes. Yes, from multiple professionals, I have heard that a strong butt is a crucial key to running. I used to be crippled by the 2K mark due to IT Band Syndrome before I started glute targeted exercises.
2) Light foot falls, light shoes. Everytime I run, I concentrate on two things - the first is landing as lightly as possible, and lighter shoes help.
3) Breathing pattern. This is the second thing I concentrate on. There is a great book by Budd Coates called Running On Air. It explains how to breathe properly while running to increase endurance, speed, and reduce risk of injury - and it WORKS!
I am now up to running 7K and feel great. If I feel I'm having an "off" day, I know I've overtrained and take a rest day the next day. Works wonders! BTW - I'm 45, 5'8" and 13 stone. A stone cold couch tater with a desk job for 25+ yrs. If I can do it, you can do it!
When doing C25k, I focused on two primary goals:
1) If I didn't think I was going to be able to complete the run, I would slow down. A couple of times in my first attempt I paused part of the run and then resumed when I could, then repeated the workout the next time. You can get it eventually.
2) While I was trying to figure out my breathing, I tried to hyperventilate. Turns out that I couldn't while I was running; I was using all the air I was pulling in. It did make the running easier, however. If you find yourself getting dizzy, slow it down.
I didn't make all the workouts on the schedule I wanted, but by not letting myself get discouraged and redoing the workouts later, I did manage to finish. I am 45 years old and started out at 282 lbs, and was a couch potato in July. I've recently completed my third 5k this fall.
Most folks have answered this well. What worked for me was to actually sign up for a race. This created enough anxiety to spur me
I am also doing C25K. I'm just finishing up week 5, but with weather and illness, haven't done it in almost 2 weeks, so I'll likely have to start week 5 over again. My husband and I run together. Having a running buddy helps because we try to motivate each other. I have found, not that I'm into the weeks where the runs are longer, I find a point ahead of me (a tree or a mailbox) and I make that my goal. Then when I reach that goal, I pick a new one ahead of me. I've found that making these smaller goals helps me and it also takes my mind off the run a little bit. I have also made a point to concentrate on my breathing. I inhale for 3 steps and exhale for 2 steps. At first, it was harder than it sounds! But now it is just second nature and has really helped me. I find that when I get to my walks, it takes no time at all for me to "catch my breath". Just keep at it, you will get there! If you have to repeat a day or even a week of the program, that's OK! It is better to repeat a run than to quit, that's the way I see it! Good luck!
I remember losing my breath constantly too - it was the biggest challenge to me as I began running!
Sticking with it made a huge difference - remember that every workout is a step in the right direction, even if it doesn't go as planned, the effort you put in will make it easier in the future.
I definitely agree with Lenzlaw that running too fast can mess with your breathing on any workout. Pacing is something we always struggle with as runners... I am still working on running slow enough for my long runs that I don't need to stop, and running fast enough on my short runs for my pace to improve and for me to get a workout.
Tons of great advice here - I LOVED reading what justamaniac said about pretending to be on the phone - I used to feel so sheepish when other runners would see me running, I remember blurting out to a neighbor that "I am not really running I just started this program called couch to five k and I'm giving it a try so don't judge me!!!". Guess what? she started couch 2 5k the next week, and over a year later, she and I are both still running four days a week and I'm running my second half marathon in two days.
Pretty awesome.
Good luck - best wishes - keep it slow - repeat workouts if you need to - don't feel like taking a walking break is giving up - every step is a chance to try again.

Home Appliance Tips
The tips below can help you save money and extend the life of your household appliances. Review our Appliance FAQs and Appliance Calculator for more information.
Water Heater
- Repair leaky faucets promptly. A faucet that leaks a single drop of hot water each second can waste up to 200 gallons of hot water per month, as well as the energy used to heat it.
- Wrap your water heater and pipes with insulation. Be sure to follow the manufacturers instructions to ensure safety.
- Install a low-flow shower head and take showers rather than baths. Low-flow shower heads will typically use from 0.8 to 1.5 gallons per minute. At 1.5 gallons per minute and a 10 minute shower, 15 gallons of water are used. Thats compared to a bath that uses 15 to 25 gallons of water.
- Don't let the hot water run continuously when you wash dishes or shave.
- Wash your clothes in cold water using cold water detergents whenever possible. Laundry detergents -- not the water temperature -- whiten your clothes.
- Clean the lint filter after every dryer load. Clothes will dry faster and you will save energy.
- Wash full laundry loads, rather than washing multiple small loads. You'll save water, detergent and energy.
- Don't add wet items to a near-dry load.
- Don't over dry clothes. Removing clothes from the dryer before they begin to wrinkle can eliminate ironing and save energy.
- Make sure the dryer is properly vented. Inspect the outside vent opening to be sure it is clear of lint and the damper will close when the dryer is off.
- Have a professional inspect the dryer vent pipe. Lint can accumulate in these pipes and reduce airflow.
- Operate your dishwasher with a full load and select an energy-saving cycle whenever possible. Use the air dry or overnight dry setting.
- In the summer, use the dishwasher in the cooler parts of the day, such as the early morning and late evening hours. Dont pre-rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher.
- Dont use rinse hold on you machine for just a few soiled dishes. It uses 3 to 7 gallons of water each time.
- Cook with the right size pot on the right size burner. Energy is lost up the sides of a small pot on a large burner and adds unnecessary heat to the kitchen.
- Open the oven door as little as possible. Your oven loses 25 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit each time you open the door, making it work harder to maintain its temperature.
- Cover pans to reduce the cooking time and amount of heat needed.
- If you cook with electricity, turn the stovetop burners and oven off several minutes before the allotted cooking time.
- Use smaller appliances such as crock pots, toaster ovens and electric skillets whenever possible to save energy.
- Try to do most of your cooking in the microwave or on top of the range instead of in the oven.
- You can lower your oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit when baking with glass or ceramic dishes.
- Cook with aluminum or copper bottom pans for even heat conduction. Pans with straight sides and flat bottoms reduce cooking time and heat loss.
- Preheat ovens only when necessary. Unless youre baking breads or pastries, you may not need to preheat the oven at all.
- Keep range-top burner and reflectors clean; they will reflect the heat better and save energy.
- Dont keep your refrigerator or freezer too cold. Recommended temperatures are 37 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit for the fresh food compartment and 0 degrees for the freezer section.
- Place your refrigerator and freezer away from heat sources.
- Keep refrigerator motor and coils clean and unobstructed.
- Defrost freezers when the build up of ice is more than a quarter of an inch.
- A full freezer will perform better than a nearly empty freezer.
- Cover liquids and wrap foods stored in the refrigerator. Uncovered foods release moisture and make the compressor work harder.
- Make sure the refrigerator and freezer doors close tightly.
- Avoid putting hot foods directly into the refrigerator or freezer. Let them cool to room temperature first.
Computer & Other Home Office Equipment
- In your computers Power Options, set up your PC to go into standby mode after 15 minutes of non use and set it to hibernate or sleep after 45 minutes of non use. These energy saving modes cut your PC's electric usage down to just a few watts.
- Screen savers, while effective in preserving the monitor, use the same amount of energy as when you are using the computer.
- Turn off your monitor when it is not in use. The monitor consumes over half of the energy used by a computer.
- Flat panel monitors use less energy than standard monitors.
- Printing can be the most energy-intensive step, so print only pages you need. Edit documents on-screen and use print preview to reduce the number of drafts you actually print.
- Use electronic mail instead of fax machines or copiers whenever possible.
- Laptops use 10 percent or less of the electricity consumed by typical desktop computers.
- Copiers use more energy than any other type of office equipment. If you need only a couple of copies, use your printer or fax machine instead.
- Use double-sided copying whenever possible.
- Try to avoid using cover sheets when faxing. Stick-on fax labels can be used on the front page with transmission details. Check with your manufacturer to make sure the labels are compatible with your fax machine.
- It takes approximately seven times more energy to produce a piece of paper than to print on it. You can help reduce the energy consumed in paper manufacturing by using recycled paper, double-sided copying, or reusing paper printed on one side.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Creators | Frannie Jackson talks with a handful of prominent creator couples — Mike Allred and Laura Allred, Kelly Sue DeConnick and Matt Fraction, Colleen Coover and Paul Tobin — about sexism within the comics industry. "I'm occasionally invited to participate in panel discussions about 'women in comics,'" Coover says. "I'm usually emotionally torn by those invitations, because, yeah, I want women in comics to thrive and be seen as thriving, but I'd much rather be part of a discussion about 'awesome creators in comics' that's stacked with awesome women and men." [Paste]
Retailing | Andrew Wyrich visits several comics shops in the North Jersey area and finds they rely on a friendly atmosphere and incentive programs to keep customers coming back. "People who buy comics tend to have a $40 weekly budget," said Len Katz, co-owner of The Joker's Child in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. "We hear of people who love comics, but eventually just hit a wall with expenses. The key for us is to get customers coming back. The reality is we are not a necessary item; we aren't milk, bread or cheese." [The Record]

In an unexpected outcome, the House of Representatives' final vote on the 2013 Farm Bill was 195-234. The vote fell far short of the 218 required for passage.
"Ducks Unlimited is extremely disappointed in the House of Representatives' failure to pass a five-year farm bill. The lack of comprehensive agriculture policy for the next five years could be devastating for the farm bill's conservation programs," said DU CEO Dale Hall. "If we are left to another one-year extension, it is very likely the conservation programs will continue to be stripped down."
A House-passed farm bill is necessary in order to get a bill into conference with the Senate-passed 2013 Farm Bill, which included DU's top agriculture conservation priorities of a national Sodsaverprogram and re-coupling conservation compliance to crop insurance.
The House's defeated farm bill only contained a regional Sodsaver program that would have applied to only the Prairie Pothole Region states of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota. The House also failed to consider an amendment that would have reflected the historic agreement between the conservation and agriculture communities to re-couple conservation compliance with crop insurance.
"America's sportsmen, farmers and ranchers joined together in a coalition to compromise and support the 2013 Farm Bill. It is tremendously frustrating that the House has ignored us and failed to produce a bipartisan bill, as the Senate has done. This is a missed opportunity to do the right thing, not only for farmers and ranchers, but for America's wildlife by standing up for the programs that play a vital role in conserving habitat," Hall said.
"A solution to this deadlock will have to be bipartisan to be strongly supported," Hall said. "DU is in active discussions with our agriculture partners to explore a way forward that can result in passage of a five-year farm bill before the extension expires on September 30."

Accused assailant, robber arrested
Published: Friday, March 1, 2013 at 7:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 1, 2013 at 9:23 p.m.
Police arrested a man they allege was involved in the beating and robbing of a man last weekend in Thibodaux.
Police arrested Bryson McIntyre, 21, of 420 Carol St., Thibodaux, on charges of aggravated second-degree battery and armed robbery, according to a news release from the Lafourche Sheriff's Office.
Shortly after midnight Feb. 22, McIntyre along with Carwin Scott and Jovonta Johnson of Thibodaux, chased a man, held him at gunpoint, beat him and stole his money, the release states. Police arrested Johnson and Scott the next day.
On Friday, investigators learned of McIntyre's whereabouts in Raceland where he was arrested, according to the release.
The three are being held in the Lafourche Parish jail on individual $350,000 bonds, according to the release.

On July 4, the United States of America will celebrate 237 years of independence from Great Britain with its Independence Day celebration.
And the mild and rainy weather has almost guaranteed that St. James' annual Fourth of July fireworks show will not be cancelled again this year.
In fact, Mayor Dennis Wilson expects a big turnout this year at the St. James Veterans Home.
"It's a well-attended event, and it's a very good show," the mayor said. "The fact that it's right here on the interstate and on the grounds of the veterans home makes it a good location. They pull in a good crowd – it's always packed."
The fireworks begin at dusk. Those attending are asked to arrive early to get a good seat.
Tara Peters with the St. James Veterans Home said this event has been a joint venture between the St. James Area Chamber of Commerce and the veterans home for several years.
"The public loves the show. We think it's great that they come," she said. "It's our patriotic duty to put on the show for the veterans, and it's a treat for it to be open to the public."
Mike Brummet of Showtime Pyrotechnics is in charge of the fireworks show, which is funded jointly by the Missouri Veterans Home Assistance League and the chamber.
The chamber solicits funds from local businesses to fund its half.
Last year, the event was cancelled due to drought conditions, which resulted in a statewide fireworks ban.
As for this year's event, the show is scheduled to go on.
"The significant rainfall of the past few weeks will virtually ensure that St. James will have a fireworks display to celebrate the July 4th Independence Day Holiday this year," Wilson wrote in his recent column. "The fireworks display became a reality through the efforts of the St. James Chamber of Commerce and the MVH Assistance League. Recently erected banners on the grounds of the MVH list the primary donors who come together to make the annual fireworks display a reality. Additional donations are always welcome and can be made at the chamber office in the tourist information center."

That's a great idea to revive this thread.
I was treated for bile duct cancer at St Vincents Hospital, Dublin. My oncologist was David Fennelly and surgeon Justin Geoghegan (great guys). The initial diagnosis was CC but pathology following resection confirmed the diagnosis as nueroendocrine tumor in the common bile duct.
Thanks, Gerry.
Most of you know.
I'm being treated by dr. Javle at md Anderson. I also see a local onc here in Huntsville, al. Her name is dr. Shah.
Dr. Javle is awesome, and knows a lot about cc. Dr. Shah is learning more about cc everyday thanks to me.
Thanks, Tiff.

STANFORD -- Venus Williams said earlier this week that she has no interest in retirement. Thursday night at the Bank of the West Classic, she showed why.
Flashing the vintage form that made her a seven-time Grand Slam champion and winner of 45 titles overall, the 34-year-old Williams out-slugged former world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka 6-4, 7-6 (1) in a sizzler of a second-round match at the Taube Family Tennis Center.
Azarenka, the No. 4 seed who was celebrating her 25th birthday, has had a nightmare 2014 season because of nerve damage in her left foot that has troubled her since February. She missed the French Open entirely, had a three-month layoff, and had played only four matches since the Australian Open, losing three of them to players she would normally crush.
But Williams hardly preyed on a wounded Azarenka on this night. Azarenka, a two-time Australian Open winner, looked fully recovered from her injury, and if she wasn't back to Grade A form, she was close.
Williams, however, was even better. Ranked as low as No. 132 in the world rankings two years ago, she has made a steady climb back to some semblance of relevance in 2014. She won a tournament in Dubai early in the year -- her first Women's Tennis Association victory in two years -- and although she lost in the third round at Wimbledon, she gave eventual champion Petra Kvitova her toughest match before losing 5-7, 7-6 (2), 7-5.
But this might have been Williams' most gratifying victory of the year.
"Obviously, it's always great to get a win against a player like Victoria because she's a champion," said Williams. "So it feels good. But she also hasn't been playing as much, so I think she's still looking for her range. But I think both of us played at a high level, and it just got better as the match went on."
Azarenka agreed and graciously gave all the credit to Williams, a player she has never beaten in four meetings.
"It was a pretty good match, I think the level was pretty high," Azarenka said. "We both came out with some great points and great fighting. I think Venus came out with a little bit better execution at the important moments."
Indeed, in a match featuring some vicious hitting by both players, Williams was steadier when it counted most. On serve with a 5-4 lead in the first set,
Williams took advantage of back-to-back double faults in the 10th game by Azarenka to take a 40-15 lead, and even though Azarenka battled back to deuce, Williams impressively won the next two points to take the set.
The second set was dead even through the first seven games, but Williams took a 5-3 lead when she won four straight points on Azarenka's serve. Azarenka broke right back, however, then fended off two match points while serving down 6-5 to force the tiebreaker. It looked as if she might turn the match her way, but the tiebreaker was all Williams. She won the first five points, hitting some fabulous shots for winners and also forcing Azarenka into some costly mistakes by stepping up her play.
"I think the tiebreaker brought out my best tennis," Williams said.
The win sets up a Williams sisters doubleheader for Friday's quarterfinals. Venus, ranked No. 25 in the world and unseeded in this event, will play eighth-seeded Andrea Petkovic of Germany at 4 p.m. Sister Serena faces fifth seed Ana Ivanovic of Serbia in the feature match at 8. If they both win, they would face each other for only the second time since 2009 in the semifinals Saturday.
Earlier in the day, Ivanovic rolled to an easy 6-1, 6-1 victory over Stanford sophomore standout Carol Zhao of Canada. Ivanovic has just one victory against Serena Williams in six meetings, but that win came earlier this year in the fourth round of the Australian Open.
Thursday's key results

Car strikes and kills pedestrian near Thibodaux
Published: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 5:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 11:20 a.m.
A 23-year-old Thibodaux man died Tuesday after he was hit by a car as he walked along the side of a Schriever road, State Police said.
Nicholas Shaw was walking on the shoulder of La. 20 about 7 a.m. when a Nissan Sentra, driven by 30-year-old Thibodaux resident Guy Cheramie veered off the road and struck him, Troop C spokesman Evan Harrell said.
Shaw was taken to Thibodaux Regional Medical Center, where he later died.
Cheramie, who was not injured, had been drinking, but a breath test showed he was under the legal limit, Harrell said. Cheramie also submitted to a urine test that is pending at the State Police Crime Lab.
Shaw walked to work at Bourgeois Meat Market every morning, owner Donald Bourgeois said.
The road turns into La. 24, where, just miles down the road, two pedestrians were struck and killed in separate incidents over the past 18 months, Harrell said.
Shaw was a kind, fun guy who will be remembered for his big heart, Bourgeois said.
"He was a big, loveable teddy bear," he said. "He was always happy ... He would give you the shirt off of his back."
Most areas of Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes have no sidewalks, forcing pedestrians to walk closer to traffic. And that sometimes leads to fatal accidents.
Prior to Tuesday, five pedestrians had been killed in Terrebonne and three in Lafourche in the past year and a half, Harrell said.

How to Distract an Angry, One-Ton Animal
For four years, Jesse Byrne has risked his life on the Professional Bull Riders circuit. He has been flipped, chased and knocked over numerous times by bulls often weighing close to 2,000 pounds. The interesting thing about his chosen career in bull riding, though, is that he never actually rides a bull.
Byrne is one of the PBR's principal bullfighters, who play an equally important role in the sport without any of the glamour bestowed on the actual riders. Every time a bull is rode on the tour, three fighters are standing by to closely monitor the action. Once the rider is thrown, it is their job to wedge themselves between the bull and the rider in order to protect the rider who is now in a vulnerable position. And unlike the riders who only mount the bulls a handful of times per night, Byrne is out there for every ride and squares off against every bull on the tour. For this, the riders are permanently indebted to Byrne and his fellow fighters. Rider Pistol Robinson, who broke two limbs when he was tossed from at bull in Madison Square Garden in 2012, said he takes the fighters out to a steak dinner whenever he gets a chance.
While the role of the bullfighter used to be known as the "rodeo clown," the modern rodeo has separated the entertainment side of the job from the actual bull interaction. So in other words, Byrne doesn't have to wear face paint. We interview him to get the details on his dangerous craft of distracting very, very angry animals.

Stressed Out? Here's Your New Workout
When you're stressed, the last thing you want to do is exercise. But these 11 easy moves will help you feel better fast
The move: Mountain climbers
Difficulty: Medium
Get in the standard plank position (hands shoulder-width apart on the floor, feet hip-distance apart, back flat) except place your feet on paper plates. On an exhale, slide your right knee to your chest; on an inhale, bring it back to the starting position as you simultaneously bring your left leg toward your chest. Switch moving your legs back and forth for 30 seconds, building up to a minute or more. And make sure you keep your back flat (don't lift your butt!), which is a key to making the move effective.

PARKERSBURG - Locals who volunteer for the Mid-Ohio Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross may be sent to aid those affected by the tornadoes in Oklahoma.
"At this point no one has been deployed," said Sharon Kesselring, financial development director for the chapter. "Our best guestimate as to if and when locals will be sent there is as long as two weeks from now."
Kesselring said it takes the national organization between 24 and 48 hours to request volunteers from chapters.
"They typically pull volunteers from closer chapters and our volunteers are brought in a week or two later to relieve those who respond first," she added.
Red Cross officials are likely currently deciding how many volunteers are needed and where to set up shelters to aid those displaced by the storms.
"They are still assessing what needs to be done," Kesselring said. "It will take time and from there locally we will know what to do."
It is not unusual for local volunteers to spend days, weeks or months deployed to disaster areas throughout the country.
Last year, local volunteers not only responded locally during the last June derecho when the national headquarters for the Red Cross was set up at Parkersburg South High School, but also to coastal areas of New York and New Jersey following the Hurricane Sandy disaster.
Earlier this year more volunteers were sent to New England states following storm Nemo, which left two feet of snow.
"We deploy volunteers whenever they are available and we are asked," Kesselring said.
The chapter will accept donations to aid those affected by the Oklahoma disaster at the 220 Eighth St. office.

Velocity down. Very hittable.
Time to wakeup the offense from its week long slumber. Maybe this will give them a wakeup call.
Chilling turn of events...
Bound to happen, and less than stellar stuff tonight. But the Reds offense should have put this game out of reach early.
"The players make the manager, it's never the other way." - Sparky Anderson
Just hit 94 on the gun. What the heck?
"You only have to bat a thousand in two things; flying and heart transplants. Everything else you can go 4-for-5."
-Beano Cook
They really need to be better than this. September is not the time to let your guard down.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
84? Wow.
"You only have to bat a thousand in two things; flying and heart transplants. Everything else you can go 4-for-5."
-Beano Cook
I don't like losing, but I really hate losing to a AAA team.
Only 23K at the park tonight. Team playing to he low energy level of the fan support this week.
Every time he blows a save or even gives up a hit, everyone from Redszone message posters to Chris Welsh wonders "what's wrong with him!!!???" The answer? He's human. Some nights some guys don't have it. Even the best of them.

Any vegan distance runners out there who want to share tips?
I find it difficult to find quick and easy nutrient/caloric-rich bites to fill up on during training...and recovery meals. I feel that I have faired well overall but I also believe that there is more to release in my running - if only I had the energy to tap into it.
Thanks for the sharing!
Well most of my calories come from fruit. I find these very quick and easy as well as nutrient rich with plenty of calories.
BS Nutrition
For me, it's a lot of bananas. Every time I buy some, I chop them up and put them in the freezer. Great energy even right before a run.
Hi Heather!
The absolute *best* calorie rich food that is metabolized at a steady pace is Palm Oil. It is a ??diglyceride fatty acid that circulates in your blood stream until it is used up by your muscle tissues as source of energy. I can go on and on about the health benefits of Palm Oil (especially the African Red Palm Oil) - even bore you to death instead, just google "Red Palm Oil" and get all the information you need.
I use that for my training religiously. No need to eat ton of bananas or sugary stuff that burn within the first 3 miles... palm oil will give you energy for hours!
I made these Peanut Butter Protein Bites and took some along with me to my recent 15k. They're great!

Five members of the Hesston High Future Business Leaders of America (FLBA) have qualified for national competition after a very successful trip to State.
Students Peter Jensen, Sabrina Wolenberg, Kiley Varney, Liz Reimer and Kameron Johnson are hoping to head to Anaheim for National Competition.
FBLA Sponsor Dori Roth said the success of the students and the long-term success of the program has kept her involved and energized.
"I believe in FBLA. It is a great leadership organization and it is awesome to see the accomplishments these students achieve every year. I am so very proud of them. It's busy, but well worth the time and energy! I enjoy seeing students grow throughout their high school career and achieve the things they work so hard for," she said.
Roth said students in Hesston were extremely dedicated to the organization and to their projects.
"Our kids, unlike other schools, do this as an extracurricular on their own time – on top of sports, forensics, musical and getting the best of all the worlds," said Roth.
It can be challenging for students, and Roth, to find time to work FBLA activities into busy schedules.

TO: Bart VanVoorhis, Convener
Research and Grants Committee
FROM: Carmen Wilson, Chair
Faculty Senate
RE: Committee Charge for 2007-2008 Academic Year
This memo is intended to serve as the initial charge letter to the Research and Grants Committee for the 2007-08 academic year.
In response to concerns that, frequently, committee member turnover each year tends to slow committee work, the senate executive committee is working to find better ways to orient new committee members. Additionally, we would like to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of committee work. To that end, we will be trying several new ideas.
- The Senate Executive Committee will be holding a meeting of conveners at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, August 27 in 325 Graff Main Hall. Please plan on attending this meeting if possible. An agenda will follow.
- The SEC will be holding a meeting of Chairs during the week before classes in January. The purpose of this meeting will be for committee chairs to report on progress on charges to date and discuss any problems committees may be experiencing.
- I am including a copy of the 2006-2007 Research and Grants Committee end-of-year report with this charge letter, as well as a list of last year's committee members. The SEC strongly encourages you to invite past members to the first committee meeting of the year to review their work in the previous year.
Per Faculty Senate Bylaw II. (s): "Each faculty committee shall hold an organizational meeting and report the name of the chairperson to the senate office by October 1. (Joint Chairpersons are not permitted.)"
Therefore, as the convener of the Research and Grants Committee, please arrange, as soon as feasible, an organizational meeting. In addition to a chairperson, please also elect a secretary.
Primary responsibilities of the chairperson include:
o promptly informing the Senate office (5-8018) the results of the election of officers and any changes in committee membership.*
o organizing and conducting meetings.
o completing a year end report on the Research and Grants Committee activities to be submitted to the Senate Office no later than May 31, 2008.
*The committee chairperson should carefully review Faculty Senate Bylaw II, "Faculty Standing Committees" for information on committee attendance and the role of alternates.
Primary responsibilities of the secretary include:
o recording minutes of each meeting.
o promptly sending meeting minutes to Sibbie Weathers (email@example.com) so that the minutes can be posted on the faculty senate website.
In the event the committee chooses to rotate secretarial duties, please designate one person to be responsible for e-mailing the meeting minutes to Sibbie Weathers.
According to Faculty Senate Bylaw II. Q. The Research and Grants Committee, the duties and responsibilities of the committee shall include:
- Establishing written guidelines and screening and selection procedures for research proposals.
- Establishing written procedures for evaluating and ranking research proposals.
- Receiving and evaluating research proposals from members of the faculty.
- Apportioning institutional funds for research.
- Advising the coordinator of gifts and grants in the solicitation of grant monies.
- Providing the UW-L Foundation with a list of committee faculty members from which it may select advisory members for its Grants and Review Committee.
Although no special charge is being given to the committee this year, should the membership wish to bring any policy issues to the attention of the senate, it should certainly do so. Any recommendations that the committee would like to make to the senate should be submitted to our office in a timely fashion.
Finally, if the Senate Executive Committee or I can assist your committee in any way during the year, please do not hesitate to ask.
