PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528-8592 VOLUME 10 NUMBER 8 FULL MOON OF THE HUCKLEBERRY AUGUST 15,1980 Controversial Indian Definition Study Turns Up Six Choices What is an Indian? For the past two years, the U.S. Education Department (formerly known as the Office of Education) has been trying to figure out just that. The Indian Definition Study, mandated by Congress in 1978 to determine "Indianness" for Title IV education money distribution, was completed in June but had no clear-cut solution to report. Shirley Hufstedler, Education Secretary, will submit to Congress six "summary definitional options" gleaned from the various definitions already in use by governmental and tribal agencies and from citizens' testimony recor- Standing Arrow Pow-Wow Elmo's second annual Standing Arrow Pow-wow took place over four sunny days last month, July 24th through the 27th. A small but enthusiastic crowd gathered to enjoy the traditional feasting and drumming, and the dance and stickgame contests. Dancers competed in fourteen categories for close to $4,000 in prize money. The biggest prize money was offered under the stickgame pavilion, though: Naida Left-hand and her fellow teammates were the skillful winners of the $500 first prize for the two-day stickgame tournament. Other winners and (most of) their pictures will be in the next issue of the paper. Master of ceremonies for the dancing was Octave Finley. Margaret Friedlander handled the sometimes confusing chore of identifying the winners and seeing to it that they got the proper prize money. Virginia Brazill was the main tally man (tally person?), ably adding up the many judges' (whose names we don't have) scores. The second Standing Arrow Pow-wow thus goes on the (Continued on pago 3) ded at 14 regional public hearings conducted by study director, Dr. Abdul Khan. Briefly, the definitions are: 1) one-fourth Indian blood quantum; 2) tribal membership and reservation residency; 3) membership in a state- or federally-recognized tribe; 4) option three plus first and second degree descendents (the current Title IV definition); 5) determination by the community; and 6) self determination. Each of the six choices has more opponents than proponents. Recognized tribes would like the definition to be restrictive and candidly say they've been organizing their own tribal membership rolls for hundreds of years and they don't appreciate anyone telling them who's an Indian and who isn't. Others (non-recognized tribes and urban Indians) prefer the current definition because it doesn't discriminate against people "deliberately driven off their reservations" or those who can't provide a "paper trail" to prove ancestry. In any case, the hundred-plus-page study has been forwarded to the House Education and Labor Committee and the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs for their further deliberation.

AIKEN, SC -- The Pacers of the University of South Carolina Aiken used a two-run rally in the bottom of the sixth inning to break a scoreless ballgame and defeat the Railsplitters, 2-0, in the finale of a three-game set in Aiken, South Carolina on Sunday afternoon. Lincoln Memorial University (0-3) dropped their third-straight decision to open the 2013 campaign, while USC Aiken (3-0) capped the three-game sweep over the Railsplitters with the victory.
Lincoln Memorial starter Austin Johnson was solid in his first start a year removed from missing nearly the entire 2012 season due to injury. Johnson went toe-to-toe with Pacer starter Wyatt Brown, tossing five and a third innings strong allowing only five hits and two earned runs while striking out six batters.
The Railsplitters and Pacers played out a scoreless ballgame through five innings, as Johnson and Brown combined to limit the two offenses to only nine hits over that span. The Pacers, however, would break the contest open in the bottom of the sixth, as Ben Donath and Ryan Metzler were issued one-out walks in consecutive at-bats to put two runners on. JJ Loker was brought on to pitch hit and came through with an RBI single to center field to plate Donath. A balk during the next at-bat moved the runners to second and third, and a two-out wild pitch by the Railsplitters brought home Metzler to make it a 2-0 game in favor of USC Aiken.
Lincoln Memorial opened the top of the seventh with back-to-back singles by Nick Morabito and Colin Buckner, however, reliever Jake Padgett struck out the next three LMU batters to stifle that rally. Nick Pressley sparked another potential rally for the Railsplitters in the top of the eighth with a leadoff single but a strikeout and a double play shutdown the Railsplitters' scoring attempt to keep the game at 2-0 in favor of the Pacers.
The final inning saw the Railsplitters find themselves with yet another attempt to rally back into the game, as Josh Coker walked and Nick Morabito was hit by a pitch to put runners on first and second with no outs. However, the Pacers snuffed out that rally with a ground out and two-consecutive strikeouts to cap the game.
Austin Johnson was saddled with the loss after being credited with allowing the two runs in the bottom half of the sixth. Freshman Dillon Swaggerty came on to complete the game, tossing two and two-thirds innings in relief, allowing only two hits and no earned runs.
The Pacers used five pitchers en route to garnering the victory. Reliever Taylor Peed earned the victory with an inning in of action, allowing no runs and no hits. Taylor Grover picked up the save with an unblemished ninth frame.
The Railsplitters matched the offensive output of USC Aiken with seven hits but they were fanned 14 times out of their 31 plate appearances. The top four of Cody Baker, Nick Pressley, Curt Fuqua and Andre Rodriguez each recorded a hit in the game, while Josh Coker reached base safely two times with walks.
Lincoln Memorial will look to get back on track this week with a trip to Orangeburg, South Carolina to take on Claflin in a one-game nonconference showdown. That game is slated to start at 3 pm.

Increasingly, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing—the mapping of features using imagery acquired either from an aircraft or a satellite—have become important tools for decision making and the applied management of natural resources. Many federal agencies and NGOs rely on GIS and satellite data for their work and are starting to produce their own spatial databases. However, there are few training opportunities for wildlife managers to learn the application of GIS in everyday management situations. We offer courses for wildlife managers that will provide hands-on experience for the collection of data, GIS analysis of the data, and map-making using the latest ESRI and ERDAS software.
Courses are taught at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia. SCBI Front Royal is located at the north entrance of the Shenandoah Park approximately 70 miles west of Washington, D.C. Pick-up from Washington Dulles Airport can be arranged.
We offer a one-week course, Essentials of Open Source GIS, every year, in conjunction with the Smithsonian-Mason School of Conservation. More information and course application.
We also offer a two-week course in Spatial Ecology, Geospatial Analysis and Remote Sensing for Conservation, in conjunction with the Smithsonian-Mason School of Conservation. More information and course application.

Energy-Efficient Solar Homes Sprouting Up Nationwide
Energy-efficient homes that make good use of their solar energy resources are appearing in more and more communities throughout the United States. In Lakeport, California, for instance, a community of 90 energy-efficient solar homes is currently being built. Each home incorporates a 2.5-kilowatt solar power system from SunWize Technologies. The modular homes, built by Faqua in its factory in Oregon, are highly insulated and include low-emissivity windows and Energy Star appliances. The homes are also "affordable" by California standards: only $230,000 each, with the added advantage of low utility bills. See the SunWize press release (PDF 115 KB). Download Acrobat Reader.
DOE and its home building partners are working toward a higher goal: so-called zero energy homes, which over the course of a year produce as much energy as they consume. In July, the fourth near-zero-energy Habitat for Humanity home was completed near Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Located in Lenoir City, the house features an airtight exterior built of structural insulated panels and insulated pre-cast concrete walls, and helps keep cool using roof and wall coatings with infrared reflective pigments. Power from a grid-connected solar power system helps drive a geothermal heat pump that provides efficient space heating and cooling as well as hot water. Built with support from DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the Habitat houses are part of DOE's Building America program. See the ORNL press release.
Zero energy homes are the focus of the Solar Decathlon, a DOE competition in which teams from colleges and universities around the globe converge on Washington, D.C., to build energy-efficient, completely solar-powered homes. Nineteen teams from across the United States, as well as from Canada, Puerto Rico, and Spain, are gearing up for the 2005 competition, which is just over a year away. Find out the latest about the teams and the competition on the Solar Decathlon Web site; a 141-page review of the 2002 Solar Decathlon is also available (PDF 2.1 MB).
While you're waiting for the 2005 Solar Decathlon, an event next month will give you an opportunity to visit solar homes in your own neighborhood. The 2004 National Solar Tour, sponsored by the American Solar Energy Society, will be held on October 2nd.

Searching for Caregiving Information?
Find Your Caregiving Situation
A majority of us will be caregivers at some point in our lives. As loved ones age, debilitating disease, chronic health conditions or simple frailty can soon follow. Or we may end up caring for someone permanently injured from an accident. While some employ paid providers, most rely on unpaid assistance from families, friends and neighbors. We won't always know when we'll be needed as a caregiver, but there are things we can do to feel more prepared. >>
For some people, caregiving occurs gradually over time. For others, it can happen overnight. Some perform hands-on care, while others provide support from a distance. Full- or part-time, live-in or long-distance, caregivers are essential whether grocery shopping or performing complex medical tasks. One thing is fairly definite: the earlier you find support, the better off you and your loved one will be. We can help you take stock of the people, services and information that will help you as a new caregiver. >>
Many of us choose to care daily for an older, sick, or disabled family member or friend and feel rewarded by it at times. Others have the in-home caregiver role suddenly forced upon them—as with spouses of injured veterans returning home from service. Juggling caregiving, employment and family can leave these caregivers overwhelmed and at greatest risk for depression as they often don't get the breaks (respite), they need. Help is available . . . >>
Caring for a loved one when you live in another city or state—let alone across town—can present obstacles that make caregiving seem next to impossible. Strained sibling or other relations can contribute to the difficulties you face, making it hard to agree on the legal and medical decisions required on behalf of your loved one. While it can be challenging to coordinate all aspects of care from afar, we can provide resources specific to caring from a distance. >>
Holding on to life and to our loved ones is a basic human instinct. Families caring for those with a chronic and debilitating illness that has progressed to the advanced stages will face very difficult decisions regarding medical treatment, life-sustaining care and questions about their own emotional capacity to care. Whether it's seeking a nursing home, finding hospice or palliative care options, or dealing with the complex legal issues surrounding care of another person, know that we can assist you when caregiving through advanced illness. >>
A loved one's death may signal the end of day-to-day care, but associated responsibilities can continue, extending your caregiving journey. Managing the details of an estate, providing support to a surviving spouse or children, or figuring how to return to work can all be challenging to tackle. Support groups, among other resources, are one way to help you on your path forward. Discover ways to survive, post-caregiving. >>

Pskov, oblast (province), northwestern Russia. It occupies an area of 21,400 square miles (55,300 square km) in the lowland basins of the Lovat, Shelon, and Velikaya rivers, with intervening low, morainic uplands. Much of the surface is covered by peat bog, grass marsh, and lakes—notably Lake Peipus in the northwest—while most of the remainder has mixed forest of spruce, pine, oak, and birch on infertile soils. The average temperatures are 18 °F (−8 °C) in January and 63 °F (17 °C) in July. Extensive natural pastures support dairying and cattle raising. Flax is the main crop and the basis for the local linen industry. Fodder crops, potatoes, rye, and oats are also grown. Apart from Pskov city, the oblast headquarters, the other cities are small and are concerned chiefly with processing local agricultural products. About two-thirds of the population is urban. Pop. (2002) 760,810; (2006 est.) 724,594.

It's that unfortunate time of year when everyone seems to be sick with the common cold.
Cold season begins around late September to April. The average adult will suffer from two to three colds a year, but according to Dr. John Wycoff, kids are the ones hit the hardest during cold season.
"Kids will have six to eight colds a year, mainly because they're around other sick kids and don't practice the best hygiene," said Dr. Wycoff.
There are over 200 viruses that cause the common cold, and there's not one drug or vaccine to protect us. If you're trying to pick and over the counter medication to treat your symptoms and are a little overwhelmed, one pharmacist says you need to be specific as to which symptoms are giving you the most problems.
"Is the stuffy nose, inability to sleep, coughing? There are many medications out there that can treat any symptom," said Jim Waun, Sparrow Pharmacy Plus.
While some people turn to herbal remedies as well, doctors say the best way to protect yourself is to always wash your hands, especially if you're an adult caring for a sick child.

The Flash, quite fittingly, is on the fast track at The CW.
Network president Mark Pedowitz told reporters at the TV critics press tour on Tuesday that The CW is developing a drama based on the super-swift DC Comics hero and member of the Justice League of America.
The character, Dr. Barry Allen, said Pedowitz, will be introduced sometime during Season 2 of "Arrow."
"We're planning an origin story and we'll see how it goes. We do want to expand on DC Universe, and we felt this is a very organic way to get there," he said.
But The CW apparently isn't being taken totally over by superheroes. Pedowitz said a planned Wonder Woman project is "on pause right now" because "the script isn't where we want it."
Other CW highlights from the press tour:
-- The network is in the early stages of developing a spin-off to "Supernatural," which is heading into its ninth season.
The potential new show would be set in Chicago and include "hunters and monsters," Pedowitz said.
But a spin-off wouldn't necessarily mean the end for the original series.
"I would love 'Supernatural' to continue as long as it could continue," Pedowitz said. "... As long as the fan base is there, there's no reason it couldn't continue."
"Supernatural" returns at 9 p.m. Oct. 8
-- Pedowitz dismissed a rumor that the final six episodes of "Nikita" will be burned off in three two-hour chunks.
"The game plan is for individual episodes, though we may end up doing a two-hour finale," he said.
"Nikita" is tentatively set to return in November.
-- The CW earlier this week renewed the improv-comedy reboot, "Whose Line Is It Anyway" for a second season of 24 episodes.

Thanks for the info.
So if i stream something and watch the buffer, I should see that it doesnt decrease much at all. If its not decreasing yet I still have stuttering then its down to my network?
Like I said i've set the mbits setting to be 9 and this pays some parts fine and stutters at others. My CPU never does above 50%. From how I understand the software working, the transcoder should never let the mbits go over 9 if i have set that setting?
I'm very knowledgeable in the PC part but dont have much knowledge on how these video transcoding technologies work so thanks for your patience.

Russell Crowe wants to be back with his family for Christmas, including his estranged wife Danielle Spencer.
This is the part where "I'll Be Home for Christmas" starts playing in your head. Take a moment.
According to Us Weekly, two months after widespread reports of a separation, the "Les Miserables" actor, 48, took to his Twitter earlier this week to address (in vague terms) the state of his nine-year marriage to Spencer.
"As soon as I finish this job and can get home, my priority is to try to bring my family back together," wrote the Oscar winner, who is currently shooting "Winter's Tale" in New York City with Colin Farrell and Will Smith.
Crowe was upset by a New York Post story claiming he's casually dating cookbook author and TV personality Katie Lee, the former wife of Billy Joel. "These latest reports are false and cruel," Crowe said.
Spencer also resurfaced on social media with a post to her fans on Facebook.
"Hi Everyone! I'm sorry i haven't visited here for a while, things have been keeping me somewhat busy of late," wrote Spencer, who shares sons Charles, 8, and Tennyson, 6, with the Crowe. Acknowledging the tumultuous several months, she added: "I just wanted to thank you all for bearing with me and also for your messages of support, it means a lot to me."
You're welcome. Glad to help.
Australia's Sydney Morning Herald first reported in October that the couple -- who met 22 years ago on a film set and got married in April 2003 -- separated, with Spencer staying behind with the boys in Australia.
"I need to go home & be with my children," Crowe tweeted two weeks ago as "Winter's Tale" began shooting. "Cannot believe how (expletive) up my schedule has become this year."

About the Book
"From its gripping opening pages…Life Sentences may be the most absorbing, entertaining mystery published in the last year."<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
—Boston Globe
USA Today calls Laura Lippman, "A writing powerhouse," and Life Sentences powerfully confirms it. Past and present, truth and memory collide in this searing novel from a New York Times bestselling author whose novels have won virtually every major prize bestowed for crime fiction—from the Edgar® to the Anthony to the Agatha to the Nero Wolfe Award. As she did in her blockbuster What the Dead Know, Lippman takes a brief hiatus from her popular series character, Baltimore p.i. Tess Monaghan, to tell a riveting story of deceptions and dangerously fragile truths that People magazine says, "Succeeds brilliantly."
Author Cassandra Fallows has achieved remarkable success by baring her life on the page. Her two widely popular memoirs continue to sell briskly, acclaimed for their brutal, unexpurgated candor about friends, family, lovers—and herself. But now, after a singularly unsuccessful stab at fiction, Cassandra believes she may have found the story that will enable her triumphant return to nonfiction.
When Cassandra was a girl, growing up in a racially diverse middle-class neighborhood in Baltimore, her best friends were all black: elegant, privileged Donna; sharp, shrewd Tisha; wild and worldly Fatima. A fifth girl orbited their world—a shy, quiet, unobtrusive child named Calliope Jenkins—who, years later, would be accused of killing her infant son. Yet the boy's body was never found and Calliope's unrelenting silence on the subject forced a judge to jail her for contempt. For seven years, Calliope refused to speak and the court was finally forced to let her go. Cassandra believes this still unsolved real-life mystery, largely unknown outside Baltimore, could be her next bestseller.
But her homecoming and latest journey into the past will not be welcomed by everyone, especially by her former friends, who are unimpressed with Cassandra's success—and are insistent on their own version of their shared history. And by delving too deeply into Calliope's dark secrets, Cassandra may inadvertently unearth a few of her own—forcing her to reexamine the memories she holds most precious, as the stark light of truth illuminates a mother's pain, a father's betrayal . . . and what really transpired on a terrible day that changed not only a family but an entire country.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
Lippman has enriched literature as a whole. — Chicago Sun-Times
Life Sentences is an original and intricately woven whydunnit, with characters as real as the Baltimore streets they live on.With Laura Lippman's unique storytelling and love of the genre, mystery awards will surely keep pouring in. — Madison County Herald, Mississippi
"Lippman knows exactly what she's doing." — Seattle Times
"Lippman, a Baltimore native, skillfully brings the racial and economic tensions of her middle-class neighborhood to life in this poignant page-turner." — Daily News
"Theirs is a strong and vivid story, one that will intrigue many readers—especially, I suspect, women who find echoes of their own lives and friendships in this drama." — Washington Post
"Succeeds brilliantly... Lippman is in total command of her material, weaving strands about race, family myths and self-deception into a mystery so taut the reader is nearly afraid to keep going—and simultaneously powerless to stop. — People

Satisfy your candy craving at South Campbellsville Baptist Church on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the largest fall festival in its history.
The event is free.
Along with the fall festival on Saturday, the church will be participating in a trunk-or-treat event from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday. Families will be decorating the trunks of their cars and filling them full of candy for trick-or-treaters to load their bags with. There will also be pumpkin decorating.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church along with the Central Kentucky Crisis Pregnancy Center will host a "Walk for the Holy Innocents" on Saturday, Nov. 1 beginning at 10 a.m.

The walk will be about 1 mile in length. Everyone is encouraged to participate in support of the dignity of human life, especially the unborn.
Recently, a friend came to me with "the look." As the mom of a teenager, her face said what her words couldn't: "What happened to my child - what happened to me? I used to be smart; I used to be competent, and now I can't do anything right. I even breathe wrong. Just ask my kid."
I hugged my friend and said, "Oh! It gets worse. But then it gets better!"
Since then, I've been thinking a lot about my friend and how I can actually be a friend to her in these next few years. Truthfully, I am woefully lacking in friendship skills.
Living Grace Church is planning a community wide yard and bake sale Saturday beginning at 9 a.m.
The church has lots of items to get rid of and welcomes others to do the same. Some of the items that will be sold include excess doors, trim, base boards, crown molding and casing, desks, filing cabinets, chairs, an oven, dry erase boards, pipe from a sprinkler system, televisions, heaters and a piano.

11. Workrave, or why frequent breaks help you go full speed ahead: 23:05 (2007.11.30#1)
If you don't want wrist pain or eye strain to force you off the computer later in life, use a break reminder program to help you remember not to push your limits.
Every three minutes, a little dialog pops up on my laptop and reminds me to stretch and refocus my eyes for ten seconds. Every hour, the same program reminds me to take a two and a half minute break—and even helpfully suggests some exercises I can do. I usually ignore those suggestions in favor of quick chores (a sink of dishes, a stack of clothes) that get me out of my chair and doing something just as productive.
I came across Workrave (workrave.org) while looking for a time-out software for my work laptop. I had tried a break reminder tool on Mac OS X before, and I remembered liking it even though it always managed to catch me mid-keystroke. Workrave was highly recommended and ran on Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and BSDs (probably including Mac OS X), so I tried it out.
I found that the frequent breaks help me stay focused and active throughout the day. The breaks not only give me a chance to stretch and rest my eyes, but also helped me remember to stay on task by helping me catch myself when I found myself getting distracted. The breaks help me remember to check posture, too. It's easy to slip into a slouch while working. If you look around an office, I'm sure you'll see lots of people hunched over their computers. When I don't take the time to stretch and sit up straight, I find myself tired and sore in the evenings. When I do, I feel more upbeat. Simple decision, eh?
I also use the breaks as an opportunity to remember to drink more water. This is something I tend to forget during particularly intense programming or writing sprints. A few years ago, I collapsed due to dehydration, and I was taken to the emergency room. I had simply forgotten to drink water in addition to what I took in at meals. Since then, I've been a lot more careful about water intake. I find that I do better when I have at least a glass and preferably a pitcher of water close at hand. When Workrave reminds me to take a break, I sip some water too. When it's time to take a longer break, I get some more water and take care of other matters along the way.
It's strange, but slowing down helps you get further. Break reminding software is Good Stuff, and I strongly recommend that you try out something like Workrave. Time Out for Mac OS X looks pretty good, too. Whatever it is, try it and see if it works for you. Tell me what you think of these breaks, and share your tips!

I went to a shop specializing in pens and organizers, but I couldn't
find anything that matched what I had in mind. So I made my own
planner templates using
I'm going to test the templates over the next few days. If it works for me, then I'll put the templates up on the Net. They're for standard letter-size three-ring binders, so anyone can use them easily. =)
I'm a happy girl.

8. Introducing the Hipster PDA: 13:22 (2005.06.02:3 productivity#8 LifeHacks:13 HipsterPDA#5)
by Sacha Chua
(Sneak preview of m-ph entry for tomorrow)
"I've found the perfect PDA," I gushed. My friends perked up. Knowing how much of a geek I am, anything I was that crazy about was bound to be interesting. They leaned over and watched as I reached into my bag and brought out...
... my Hipster PDA.
Introducing the Hipster PDA
One of the hottest topics in the productivity blogosphere right now is the Hipster PDA, a surprisingly effective low-tech way to organize your life. Grab a pack of 3"x5" index cards and a fold-back clip and you're set to go!
What's so cool about the Hipster PDA?
- Gets rid of worries. You don't have to worry about running out of battery during a critical meeting. You can drop it and it will still work. Even if you dunk it in water, you'll still be able to recover your data.
- Grows along with you. Don't be constrained by software or hardware limitations! You can easily experiment with different ways of planning, and you can expand your Hipster PDA's memory simply by buying another pack of index cards at your nearest bookstore.
- Helps you stay focused. The Hipster PDA helps you stay focused and on-track by not supporting addictive games like Tradewinds. To help you pass the time, the Hipster PDA comes with a few built-in two-player games like Tic-tac-toe and Hangman.
- Organizes real-life data. Receipts? Business cards? Movie tickets? No problem! Just tuck them into the fold-back clip and process them when you get home.
- Beams anything to anyone. You can easily "beam" information to other people—just scribble a note and give it to them. 3x5 index cards don't crumple easily and can easily be shared with other people no matter what mobile device they use.
Here's what you can do with your own Hipster PDA:
- Get a good pen or mechanical pencil. Keep it with your Hipster PDA at all times.
- Write down one task per index card. You can write down subtasks and notes there as well. Rip up the task card up after completing the task for a satisfying finish.
- Alternatively, divide your tasks into projects and write down your tasks. Check the tasks off as you finish them.
- Scribble notes and ideas down on index cards.
- Write down a month calendar so that you can easily see when you have appointments.
- Print important contact information on an index card. You can probably fit 50 names and phone numbers. Good backup if your phone is out of battery or gets lost.
- Print birthdays on an index card, sorted by month and day.
- Label your Hipster PDA with your contact information just in case it gets lost. (name, phone number, e-mail address)
- Clip a cheap pen to your Hipster PDA for people who borrow pens. Never lend your good pen.
- Keep newly-written cards in an "inbox" section (front or back) so that you can process them when you get home.

7. Office supplies shopaholic: 22:50 (2005.05.30:2 LifeHacks:12 productivity#7 organization#1)
My name is Sacha Chua and I'm an office supplies shopaholic. I find it nearly impossible to pass a bookstore without checking out the index cards and notebooks in stock.
Today I bought two small plastic cases.
|[Plastic cases]
A good size for scrapbook material: photos, receipts, tickets... No more digging around in my bag for things to scrapbook!
(Hmm. Thinking about it now, I could have also survived with a Ziplock(tm) packet.)
Okay. Maybe I can store art materials in it. Or cards. Yeah, it's a good size for stationery. That's it.
(You know you have it bad when you think of reasons _after_ you buy the thing...)
On my way out of the school supplies stand, I found my fingers inexplicably rifling through the notebooks on display. I picked up a Stradmore notebook composed of eight thin notebooks held together with pins. Here's the side view:
|Side view of notebook
A light bulb went off in my head. This is perfect for journal-writing! I can keep a journal along with my work notes (eliminating the need for a separate album) and then simply re-file them. If I use a mini-notebook for letters to Dominique, I can mail the whole mini-notebook to him when I'm done.
I had a hard time deciding between a small notebook that could fit in my purse and a medium-size notebook that gave me more room to write, but I eventually decided on the medium-size notebook.
Because it had "girl" written all over it.
Of course, _after_ I bought it, I reasoned that larger mini-notebooks would be more efficient to store and mail. (Right.)

6. Task management with Emacs: Text files: 09:58 (2005.05.18:1 productivity#6 LifeHacks:11 emacs#13 planning#2)
With the wealth of code available for Emacs and the ease of customization it provides, you're certain to find a task management tool that fits the way you think. Over the next few days, I'll provide a quick run-through of the methods I've tried out.
The simplest way to get started with Emacs for task management is to keep your TODOs in a plain text file, like ~/TODO. You can keep this text file in any format you want. To make it easier for you to see what you need to do, you can keep active TODOs near the top and completed tasks near the bottom.
If you load your TODO file every time you start up Emacs, then you'll be sure to check it every day. Put the following line in your ~/.emacs to have it automatically loaded when you start:
(find-file "~/TODO")
You'll also want to make it easy to open during an Emacs session. If your TODO file is just a keyboard shortcut away, you'll find it easier to keep all of your reminders in the file. Here's a snippet that shows the TODO file in the current window.
(defun my/todo () "Bring up the TODO file." (interactive) (find-file "~/TODO") (goto-char (point-min))) ;; Now bind it to a convenient shortcut key (global-set-key (kbd "
") 'my/todo)
Now you can hit F5 F5 to show your TODO. If you want your TODO file to show up in another window, remove that and use this snippet instead:
(defun my/todo () "Bring up the TODO file." (interactive) (find-file-other-window "~/TODO") (goto-char (point-min))) ;; Now bind it to a convenient shortcut key (global-set-key (kbd "
") 'my/todo)
If you want to be able to add stuff to your TODO without getting distracted from your work, add this to your ~/.emacs:
(defun my/add-todo (task) "Add a line to the TODO file." (interactive "MTask: ") (with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect "~/TODO") (goto-char (point-min)) (insert task "\n") (save-buffer))) (global-set-key (kbd "
t") 'my/add-todo)
See? Emacs is fun and easy to configure. You can store your tasks in a plain text file and then add keyboard shortcuts to make your tasks easier to manage.
There are many sophisticated task management packages for Emacs. I'll write about one of them tomorrow. In the meantime, if you want to find out what task manager I _really_ like using, you can check out PlannerMode! =)

5. Colored index cards: 22:44 (2005.05.10:1 LifeHacks:10 HipsterPDA#3 productivity#5)
I love posting my productivity ideas because every time I do so, I get comments suggesting even better ways to do things. Today's tip comes from Christopher Allan Webber, whose colored index cards are leaps and bounds ahead of my deck of plain white index cards. He has some cool ideas here!
He uses colored notecards to separate his notes into categories.
Yellow schedule & project cards Red todo cards (or just stuff I should copy to planner-mode) Blue idea cards Green expenses (writing down stuff to copy to my ledger file later)
He also uses cards that are lined on just one side. On the lined side of schedule & project cards, he writes down:
Mon 5/9 Lab Wed 5/11 Critique of Assignment II & I (pics don't have to be dry - must by Wednesday) Mon 5/16 Field trip . . Assignment #2 dry-mounted
On the back, he keeps a TODO list. When a task needs to be done multiple times—for example, preparing a print of a picture—he adds extra checkboxes before the task.
I think he writes down non-project-related TODOs and random notes on red cards, which are easy to pick out in the pack. Right now, I jumble them all together on white index cards. I'll try keeping the front half of the deck for tasks and the back half for notes.
Green cards help him keep track of his expenses. I keep receipts in front of my index cards using the handy fold-back clip, although an organized table view would be pretty cool.
I don't know where he managed to find lined-on-one-side 3x5 colored index cards. I guess bookstores in other countries are better stocked. On the other hand, I found 3x5 organizer refills, so I'm not absolutely deprived.
He was bemused by my mention of "two pages of month templates from a 3x5 day planner". If you crack open a pack of 3x5 organizer refills, you'll get year, month, and day views. Normally a single month would span two pages, but if you're using a planner where month views haven't been labeled "January", "February"—in short, blank ones—then you can use one page to represent one month. If you don't have organizer refills handy, simply print the numbers 1 to 15 down one side of an index card and 16 to 31 on the other. Leave space at the top for the month name, and space beside the numbers for appointments.
He also had this interesting anecdote to relate about a friend's way of planning.
"Oh, I gave up keeping track of to do lists," she sighed. "These days I just write everything on my mirror with a dry-erase marker, so when I groggily stumble into my bathroom in the morning I go, 'OH SHIT! I HAVE *THAT* TO DO TODAY!'"
I should do that with a random Japanese quote of the day. I'll write it down the day before, then groggily try to read it in the morning. Or I can scribble my Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals (superb teaching and quality assurance for computer science education, and strategy coaching for life planning (must find better way to summarize these things!)) on my ceiling at home. Ooooh. My ceiling is low enough for me to do that...
Check out Christopher Allan Webber's website at http://dustycloud.org/ . =)
I love swapping ideas with people, so feel free to send in more suggestions!

4. Profiling Your Customer: 18:24 (2005.05.09:1 LifeHacks:9 productivity#4 business#2)
People are often thrilled by the fact that I try to keep track of their interests and inclinations. I avidly file away tidbits I learn while listening to them talk, but I'm not yet used to asking people for more details or engaging in small talk. I'm starting to think that there's more to small talk than just passing time, though. I guess asking about all of these things makes good business sense.
Patrick G. of http://www.zill.net replied to my post on keeping in touch with people with this excellent tip:
re: your post on keeping track of people and their interests - did you ever hear of the "Mackay 66" ? A guy here in the US wrote a book about selling, and he requires his saleman to keep a "66" on each customer - 66 things you should know about them. See http://www.mackay.com/howhelp/Mac66.html - at least 1 thru 57 is useful for friends too.
I wonder what other lists are out there...

3. How I use my Hipster PDA: 23:22 (2005.05.08:1 LifeHacks:8 productivity#3 HipsterPDA#2)
After all my experiments with wearable computing using a one-handed chording keyboard and a speech synthesizer, I've found that the most portable device for me is still a 3x5 pack of index cards bound with a fold-back clip. Jokingly dubbed the "Hipster PDA" elsewhere on the Net, this low-tech device is surprisingly flexible and easy to use. I use mine to keep track of tasks and random notes for later entry into my online planner.
My Hipster PDA is composed of:
- a colored index card with my contact information - my inbox: cards with notes on them that haven't been entered into the computer - two pages of month templates from a 3x5 day planner - a year calendar for 2005 and 2006 - my archive: index cards that have already been entered but might still be useful - a colored index card with yellow sticky notes - a stack of blank index cards - a fold-back clip holding all of these things together - a black signpen or a mechanical pencil tucked into the fold-back clip
One of the things I've found much easier to do with my 3x5 pack of cards than with a PDA or a Franklin-Covey planner is to keep track of get-togethers. When my friends and I schedule our next get-together, I lay the month templates out so that I can see the next 30 days at a glance. This is difficult to do with a PDA because PDA screens are small. A Franklin-Covey planner would probably be more organized, but I like being able to lay things out side-by-side instead of flipping through pages.
When I need to jot something down, I flip the deck and write on the last card. After I finish one side of the card, I turn it over, clip it, and write on the other side. When the whole card is full, I move it into my inbox.
Index cards are handy because it's easy to give information away to other people. Paper gets crumpled and business cards can disappear into the chaos of a purse or a bag. An index card is big and bright. I'm thinking of replacing half of my white cards with brightly-colored cards so that people can easily find information I give them.
I'm planning to do other things with my pack of 3x5 index cards. For example, I can write my projects on the cards. Reviewing these cards will reinforce these goals in my mind and remind me to keep making progress.
Index cards totally rock.
新しいコンピューターは旧型よりも10倍速い。 The new computer is ten times as fast as the old one.
2. Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals: 13:47 (2005.05.07:1 productivity#2 LifeHacks:7)
My Big, Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAGs) are:
- Revolutionize computer science education by making it highly
individualized and experiential. - Become a world-famous expert on creating systems for planning one's life. Instead of pushing a particular methodology, I'd like to work with people's current ways of planning, suggesting improvements and software/hardware to support their life.
I'm at the 1st Philippine Blogging Summit right now with my BHAGs firmly in mind. It's _amazing._
The first person I talked to was J. Angelo Racoma, an old friend from my BBSing days. After chatting about blogging, talk turned to what we're both up to. He told me about his work at http://i.ph . I told him about my BHAGs.
It turned out that his wife is into tutoring, and one of the things they're planning to do in the future is set up a tutoring portal to help students, parents and tutors find each other. Neato. That looks like a great fit for what I want to do. =)
As I explained my BHAG for teaching and training to him, I realized that one of the things I really, really, really care about is quality assurance for teachers and tutors. I firmly believe that it's not just about technical knowledge, but it's also about teaching and communication skills. I don't think we're paying enough attention to that, and I think that's a compelling sales point.
I also got to meet Gabriel Narciso.
He started by asking me if I was still into open source. Of
course! He then asked me if there was a native version of
Let's say that again. Wow!
_That's_ why you should practice talking about your BHAGs until you can squeeze it into a small-talk conversation. Joey Gurango told us how wannabe entrepreneurs would give him two-inch-thick business proposals and expect him to have the time or interest in reading them. He said that's entirely the wrong way to do that. You start with your 90-second elevator pitch. You get people interested. Then you go for your executive summary—the shorter, the better. You get people hooked. When you get them hooked, _then_ you hit them with the business proposal.
BHAGs work the same way. Refine them until you get a sound bite. Say it with confidence and passion. Get them hooked. Explain the rest over lunch another day!

"Big, Hairy Audacious Goals" is a catchy and inspiring way to think about things. If you don't have this book yet, you might want to look for it next time you're in a well-stocked bookstore:
Built to Last – Successful Habits of Visionary Companies
Jerry Porras and James C. Collins, 1994.

Book review / executive summary
Big Hairy and Audacious Goals for Business! (interview)
"We found that visionary companies often set these incredibly challenging goals."
Goal Setting with Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAGs)
A workshop outline—great idea for training
My BHAGs are:
- Revolutionize computer science education by making it highly
individualized and experiential.
- Become a world-famous expert on creating systems for planning one's
life. Instead of pushing a particular methodology, I'd like to work with people's current ways of planning, suggesting improvements and software/hardware to support their life.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's tennis match versus Texas has been moved indoors due to inclement weather. Originally scheduled for the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center, the match will now be played at the Corpus Christi Athletic Club on the corner of Airline and Holly with a 2 p.m. start time.
The current rain, in addition to the threat of continued precipitation throughout the afternoon forced the Islanders to make the switch. The match was originally scheduled to be the first ever-home match at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center for the men's team.

- Sounders : Launch Campaign The Seattle Sounders FC came to us with a logo and no team and asked us to help them sell out a giant stadium. We decided to take it to the streets and Scarf Seattle with literally thousands of scarves to get the city excited for the newest professional sports franchise. In the end, we broke every record in the league for ticket sales, and sold out every game. 2012 Advertising
- Sounders : Date With A Sounder After successfully launching the team in 2009 and a successful sophomore season in 2010, the Sounders asked us to start to build some love for their players, not just the team or match experience. So we invited the city of Seattle on a Date With a Sounder, a fun campaign aimed at introducing the city to the players. 2012 Advertising

- Sounders : Play The Full 90 Give us your Full 90 has been the Sounders tag line since their inception 5 years ago (look at the golfball to the left of this one). Anyhow, "Its time to play the Full 90" is just us having fun with that line and shaking it up a little as we ask our fans to come out and give us their Full 90 again. Our goal this year was to create a campaign that was fun and showed off the players. Like the campaign says, "It's a game that's also a show!" 2012 Advertising
- Sounders : Renewal Campaign Toward the end of each season, the Sounders FC ask us to help renew Season Ticket memberships for the upcoming season. For each of the 3 seasons the team has been in the MLS, we've successfully renewed season tickets at a rate of 97%, 88%, and 92%. Included in our season ticket renewal campaigns are a premium mailer, email blast and microsite. 2012 Advertising
Rainier : Restore The R
We shot this as the launch of a campaign to help "Restore the R." In case you were living under rock in Seattle in the 70s, The Rainier R was an iconic symbol of the Seattle skyline until the brewery shut down a few decades ago. We found the R leaning up against the wall in the gift shop of a museum. We reached out to Rainier, who still sells the beer in the Pacific Northwest, and they got excited.
The results are this campaign, www.RestoreTheR.com which is worth checking out. Contestants from all over the world are "earning bulbs", sending photos of their escapades documenting their love for Rainier Beer. 2012 Advertising
Wilson Tennis : International Tennis Court
Perched high in the Alps is an international tribunal where the world's tennis disputes are settled once and for all. This isn't a court of grass, cement or clay. It's a court of justice. Welcome to the Tennis Court. The game's highest, most powerful and least understood governing body.
It is here that two controversial new Wilson rackets are on trial. The Wilson Juice and Steam generate so much power and spin, some are questioning whether they should even be legal. The fate of tennis as we know it hangs in the balance as lawyers clad in their best whites battle for control of the court. 2012 Advertising
- Darigold : Farmalicious Darigold is a 100 year old Northwest Dairy company. They came to us for a brand overhaul. After an extensive research and planning period we unleashed Farmalicious, when farm meets delicious, on the world. So far, three years into it and the Northwest is considerably more Farmalicious. As is Darigold with sales increasing and brand awareness rising. Call us for more specifics. It's not very farmerly for us to talk too much. 2014 Advertising
- Darigold : Better Butter Butter has been the key product we've been featuring in our fall campaigns for Darigold. Over the past two years we've done the Better Butter Better campaign. Tons of interaction, tons of press and tons of butter have been the byproduct of this campaign. We've been extremely pleased with the campaign and most importantly butter sales have been up significantly during these time periods. 2014 Advertising
HomeStreet Bank
HomeStreet is a 100 year old bank that we completely rebranded from the ground up. After an extensive research phase, we created everything from the new identity and branch signage to the advertising campaign to branch grand openings. And of course, their first ever Superbowl spot (Ok, it was regional, but it was a big deal). We also even brokered their sponsorship as "the official bank of the Seahawks and Sounders." For a smaller, local bank, that was huge. Awareness was almost zero when we started and it is well into double figures now. We love them and if you need a bank, and you are on the west coast, you'll love them too.

This is our first campaign for Oberto, the best beef jerky in the world. Actually, it's the Most Excellent beef jerky in the world. Which is why we unabashedly called out its excellence and created a campaign that asks people not to just buy Oberto, but to Acquire a Taste for Excellence.
We're silly excited about the success so far and this campaign features one of the best things we've ever done: Flown our producer to rural Ohio to give away an Assload of Jerky. Check it out. It's most excellent. 2012 Advertising
Bigger Faster Stronger Louder
Well, we won a Superbowl. Suck it. If that isn't success, what is? But hold your horses. When we started working with the Seahawks, things weren't as awesome. We had a new unproven coach, a ton of young no-name players and a losing record. It was time to position this team for what it was. A team that was always going to compete and give it all, but one that was truthfully Bigger. Stronger. Faster. Louder. This campaign has lasted a few years and really coincided with the growth of the team. And the LOUDER part was intentional to really ensure we had the loudest fan base in the world. And we do. In the world.

We made it snow in Austin, Dallas and Kansas City, to name a few, to drive sales from these markets. 2012 Advertising

Microsoft : Pushpins
In the early days of Microsoft mapping software, we were asked to launch an integrated social feature to create awareness and drive traffic.
Since the pushpin as an icon had already moved into the digital world, we simply took the pin back out to the real world where it could be social and have some fun. 2012 Advertising
Naked Juice
Naked Juice is not a cheap juice. When we got them they were struggling to authentic and yet aspirational. They wanted to take the brand to a healthy and clean look and showcase the better for you aspect of the juice. This print, OOH and in-store retail campaign did just that. And raised sales in a healthy way too.

The decline of Earth's biodiversity and the need for sustainability practices mandates that we need a new approach to conservation that conveys to people of all walks of the crucial interdependence of plants, animals, people, and the environment. This challenge is too urgent and too large for any single organization, government, or discipline to tackle alone. We need pragmatic approaches and new partnerships among biological and social scientists, government and industry professionals, and citizens to reinforce and protect the intrinsic value of biodiversity, and garner support for sustainable use.
CCS studies the complex relationships among biodiversity, people, and the environment, and educates the public about the Earth's biodiversity and how it can be conserved and used wisely.
CCS is committed to promoting science-based environmental awareness, biodiversity research and monitoring, conservation and the sustainable use of Earth's resources. We are especially committed to recruiting and educating the next generation of conservation practitioners and fostering environmental leadership in those who make decisions about conservation and sustainability.

"He said, 'If you tell anybody, I'll kill you...and I know where you live'."
That's what a rape victim says her attacker told her when he forced her down near some dumpsters not far from her apartment...and it all happened in broad daylight.
A woman tells deputies a man raped her while she was taking out the trash.
The incident was Wednesday afternoon, June 7, at Augusta Manor Apartments. That's at 3551 Mike Padgett Highway.
Only on 12, the victim tells her story.
24-year-old Marteen Brown says a man she has never seen before attacked her, forced her to have sex, and threatened to kill her if she called the police.
"I am afraid for me and my children's lives."
The man told Marteen he knows where she lives...so the single mother of two is packing up the apartment to escape her alleged rapist--and the memory.
"I was laying right here on the floor with blood dripping down my legs, both my children were here."
Before they left the apartments for good, Marteen took us to the place where it all started.
"He grabbed my mouth and pushed me over here on the ground and raped me right here."
She fought back...but Marteen says he overpowered her.
"He slammed my head against the concrete," she says. "Before I blacked out, I seen I was trying to push him away.
"My body hurts all over from him."
Part of a fence near the dumpster is broken, and Marteen says people cut through the woods there all the time. She thinks that's where the attacker came from.
After he left, she rushed back to her children and called her mom.
"She burst into tears and said, 'Mama, I've been raped'," recalls Marteen's mother, Deborah Brown.
Deborah called the sheriff's department.
"They overpower the person and it's an act of force, a violent crime," says Sgt. Richard Roundtree of the Richmond County Sheriff's Department.
"I just don't see how somebody can rape somebody like that...and them not even care," Marteen says. "How could you hurt a woman and not even care?"
The sheriff's office says many victims do not come forward.
Marteen did...but reporting the rape was hard for her.
Her mother Deborah says, "The first thing she said to me was, 'Mama, they're making it seem like it's my fault'."
"This is why people don't want to come clean when they're raped," Marteen says. "They don't want to tell nobody."
Richmond County Sgt. Richard Roundtree says officers have to consider all possibilities.
"Some cases we find not to be credible," he says, "but every case is taken seriously."
And rape victims sometimes have a hard time answering officers' tough questions.
"It is a very intense interview and intense investigation," Sgt. Roundtree says.
Marteen Brown says she will do whatever it takes to protect herself and her family.
"If you're watching me now on TV, don't ever come near me again...and I hope you're locked up for the rest of your life," she said in News 12's interview.
Investigators say they are looking for the man...and he could still be in the area.
In 2005, there were 99 rapes reported to the Richmond County Sheriff's Office. And since this January, 31 cases have been reported this year. That's 130 reported cases in almost eighteen months.

Built for performance and show, the Typhoon® Air Intake System is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube induction system designed to fit many sport compact performance vehicles. Each kit is proven on a rear-wheel dynamometer to increase horsepower and torque. Typhoon intakes come in one of three designs; cold air intakes (CA), short ram intakes (SR), or complete cold air (CCA) intakes which can be configured as either a cold air intake or a short ram intake. Available in an assortment of powder coated colors and polished aluminum, these kits are sure to please in every way. They come with an oversized High-Flow conical air filter designed to provide increased surface area and dust capacity. This extra surface area provides even more airflow at lower restriction than a standard K&N O/E replacement filter that is limited to the size of the factory air box. The oversize air filter also captures more dirt increasing the service life before a cleaning is required (up to 100,000 miles).
Calif CARB notice: Some Typhoon Air Intakes are not legal for use in California and other states adopting California emission standards while others are CARB exempt and 50 state legal. Check the K&N catalog or website vehicle parts search for specific CARB status. 63 Series Intakes (AirChargers) are street legal in most states. They are not legal for use in California and other states adopting California emission standards. Please verify Calif. CARB status with the KN website or by calling them direct on all air kits.
Please review these fitments below to confirm fitment for your vehicle:
History and information about K&N Filter and their products.
GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CAR OR TRUCK Most people are aware that our High-Flow Air Filter can increase horsepower over a traditional disposable air filter. An air filter change alone however, cannot eliminate other types of air restriction built into the vehicle at the factory. These can be found in the size of the air box and the air path running from the air box to the engine. That's where air intakes rule the road. They completely replace the factory airflow assembly including the filter, air box and air path. More and more people are discovering the monster power available from a well-engineered air intake and we sell over 200,000 air intakes every year, so go ahead and wake the sleeping giant in your car.
GUARANTEED HORSEPOWER We will not sell an air intake that does not provide a measured increase in horsepower and torque (acceleration). Our air intakes are proven to increase horsepower and torque on a rear-wheel dynamometer (think treadmill for cars). These thoroughly engineered air intakes provide huge increases in power that a customer will definitely feel when they accelerate.
Product lines include: K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kits, FIPK, K&N 77 Series High Flow Air Intakes, K&N Typhoon Air Intake Systems, K&N AirCharger, K&N 57i Air Induction Kits, and Stock Replacement Air Filters.

DH, Hope things went well today.
Mike - Had a 5K this morning, was hoping to break the 23:00 minute barrier. Morning was crisp and cool around 8:00AM this morning. Wife and son were signed up for the 1/2, but son had some heal issues and decided to step down to the 5K. He decided that sitting in the son was better then waiting in the shade for the race to start. We realized that it was too crowded to start at the head of the pack and decided to wait for things to clear out before we started (with chip timing it won't make much difference unless the course is congested). We let everyone go and waited until everyone had made that first turn and were going to wait a little longer when we saw a crowd of little kids getting ready to walk, so we bolted. I had a lot of pent up energy, so started a bit quickly and it took a 1/4 mile or so for me to slow down into a good pace. The course was an out and back that had a bunch of twists and turns, but starts and finishes with a 1/2 to 3/4 mile straight (well after a 50-100yard 90 degree turn). Son stayed with me until we saw the leaders coming back, I didn't see him again even tho I was looking (guess not well enough). I hit the turn around at ~11:00 minutes and all I could think was 12 minutes for 1.5 miles should be doable. The only slope is an overpass over the highway 1/4 mile before and after the turn around. Tried to push it going up and coming down. Did the twists and turns before the straight away and was trying to maintain my pace. Most of the race we'd been passing people and was trying to focus on the next person in front of me to catch, but one guy mid-20's caught me and continued on. Was picking off little kids and as we neard the finish was trying to catch 2 younger boys, but when they saw the finish they kicked it in pretty good. I tried to kick, but I lost a bit of ground. As I crossed the finish stopping the watch I thought it said 23:14 and was a bit disappointed. Son came up to me and I asked him his time and he said around 21:00 and then I said I finished just over 23 and he said no. Looked at the watch again and realized it said 22:14! New PR, I'm pleased.
Hey Ray, congrats on the PR, that's a great time! So now I'm curious, is this your first time going under 23 minutes?
I'm still cross training, 8 miles on the mtn bike in 39:19. My right foot is what's keeping me on the bike, it's sore and taking its time getting better.
Mike, I was hoping to run a half marathon next weekend, but it's still up in the air because of this foot...
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
Ray, congrats on the PR!
Rich, if your foot hurts at all, don't run the half!
Thanks, guys, for your interest in my annual fitness test. My goal today was to run 14:49 or better to get the max score of 100 points for my age group. Conditions were not great: first we had to do all the pushups we could, then we had to do all the situps we could, then we had to stretch out in the frosty grass--temp was about 30 at the start of the fitness test.
Right before the run, I tried to warm up by jogging a lap. My legs felt like sticks of wood--I couldn't even finish the one-lap warmup! I thought, "This is not good," but decided to ignore it and hope for the best.
Then the 2-mile run started and it was a huge mob scene. There were over 100 people running on the track at the same time! On the plus side, the presence of so many people--some of them fast--gave me more energy.
After three slow miserable laps with my elapsed time barely under 6:00 and slipping, I wondered, "Am I even going to break 16:00?"
Then I willed myself to run faster out of shame, and maybe my stiff legs were loosening up. I think I ran faster and faster just about every lap after that, and finished in 14:26 which was a max score by 23 seconds.
Not a great time for me, historically speaking, but at least I met my goal for the day. I'll take it, and move on!
Dark Horse
I'm a dark horse, running on a dark race course.
Congratulations Dark Horse! I'm thinking if you ran a 7:40 first mile, your second must have been around 6:45. That's pretty darn quick for an old guy, especially in the cold air. You did good!
And I won't run the half if my foot is still bothering, it's just not worth the risk.
We had a hard frost this morning as well, the over night low was just 26 degrees.
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
DH, Good job. Way to represent us old farts!
Rich, I'm sure you'll make the right decision based on how the foot is feeling.
It was indeed my first 5K under 23 minutes (2nd running career). Over the last 2+ years I've run somewhere around 10 5Ks and best previous before starting a real training program was 23:30 at Oakland in 2011. Last one at the end of August was 23:16, but there was wind coming off the bay. The one today was w/o wind and I think it helpd having my son running with me for the first half of the race. Official time was 22:14, garmin got my mile times in 7:05, 7:10 and 7:15 with the last 10th in 43. Finished 5th in the 50-59 age group and 25th overall. Son finished in about 20:22 also 5th in his AG and 11th overall. Wife wasn't happy with her 1/2 marathon, but still finished 2nd in her age group.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Wow, what a day for running, with a 5k PR and age group top honors in a fitness test. Way to go Ray and DH!
I had a good day also, having run 8 miles and felt really good. Ran the last mile at 9:50, and had a low HR most of the run and could have picked up the pace. My legs feel great even now. Maybe there is a little speed improvement left to be had, even if my goal is mainly to enjoy running and not obsess about times.
Sounds like taking it easy or easier is not a bad plan, Rich. Avoiding serious injury giving up one race is not a bad bargain, if you have doubts going into it. I have to admit that my judgement in this area is sometimes suspect, but I am getting better at taking a day or a few if the body is trying to tell me something.
My daughter is back in town, having picked her up at the bus stop earlier this evening. It is pretty incredible the change I already see in her, like making that transition from kid to adult before my very eyes. Part of my motivation for running is to keep up with the "rug rats."
