"RE: The 'FX' Effect."
Sorry for the late reply - I've been away at the Focus on Imaging show for a coupl of days Yes, I'm quite serious that there is no generic "FX Effect".But... I think my posts on this subject may have been misinterpreted, either accidentally or deliberately. I will try once more to explain where I'm coming from.I bought a D700 because it offered better noise performance than any other Nikon camera that I could afford. Its 1+ stop advantage over the D300 at high ISO's allows me to get more usable (i.e. saleable) shots of stage performances. The D700 is a remarkable camera, with an excellent balance of specification and performance that suits much of my work to a "T". Note that the D300 does a great job too, and at lower ISO settings I still don't see too much difference between them.However, the fact that the D700 is an FX camera was (and is) is not relevant to my purchase decision. Because it's FX, I have had to alter which focal lengths I use to get the desired angles of view, and I still prefer the greater effective DoF of the D300 (for the same aperture and framing). If the "D400" (or whatever the next high-end DX camera turns out to be) can offer D700 levels of noise at ISO 6400 or so, it will be - FOR ME - an even better option. At that point, I could be shooting a "D400" for the longer shots and the D700 for wider full-stage views. With further improvements in technology, I might well switch fully back to DX.I hope I've countered any impression that I don't rate the D700 very highly, but equally, I must emphasise one last time that the big improvements which the D700 offers over earlier DX cameras like the D200 and D2X are not all down to the format. An equally (arguably, more) important factor is that the D700 employs a newer generation of sensor and firmware. And that's what I mean by there being no "FX Effect". The D700 is great, but not (or not only) because it is FX

Are Doctors Losing Touch With Hands-On Medicine?
By ABIGAIL ZUGER
Published: July 13, 1999
In the beginning -- before, that is, the chest X-ray, the CAT scan, the transesophageal echocardiogram, the prostate-specific antigen, the thallium stress test and the gadolinium-enhanced M.R.I. -- was the physical examination. For most of the last two centuries it was medicine's most elegant diagnostic tool, the best way for a doctor to probe what was going on in a patient's interior.
Blood tests, X-rays and scans now often outdistance a doctor's hands, eyes and ears. They can locate and define problems a physical examination can only hint at, sometimes before even the patient knows there is something wrong. Compared with the precision of most common tests, many of the maneuvers a doctor performs at the bedside (''Open your mouth . . . breathe in . . . breathe out . . . and again . . . '') are inexact or even useless.
In some situations, though, the physical may still be lifesaving. It can be an inexpensive way to identify which patients need expensive tests. And it forces doctors to touch their patients, creating a physical bond between them that many feel is essential to the art of healing.
''It's the only time that we have an opportunity to literally touch our patients,'' said Dr. Salvatore Mangione, a pulmonary specialist at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia, who has written a textbook on the physical examination. ''To relinquish it would be a mistake.''
But now medical educators worry that a generation of young doctors dazzled by L.E.D. displays and computer printouts is turning away from the hands-on skills that, once forgotten, may never be retrieved.
In recent years, studies have confirmed that the concerns are well founded. Many American doctors are no longer very skillful at what is called ''physical diagnosis,'' or the art of interpreting abnormalities in the physical examination.
''If you have available technology as an alternative,'' Dr. Mangione said, ''you're going to rust at the bedside. We now have an entire generation or generations of teachers and physicians that may be not very comfortable with that bedside part.''
For the last 50 years, studies have questioned the need for healthy adults to undergo the ritual of a complete yearly physical examination. Most of these investigations have concluded that the tappings and probings, which may take the better part of an hour to complete, are unnecessary. A comprehensive review published in the Annals of Internal Medicine 10 years ago concluded that after a single heart and skin examination, healthy adults under age 60 who felt well and had no unusual health risks had no need for a doctor to lay hand or stethoscope upon them save for periodic measurements of blood pressure and weight, and periodic breast and pelvic examinations in women.
For children, periodic physical examinations are still considered important. But for adults, most health policy organizations, including the Department of Health and Human Services' influential Preventive Services Task Force, agree that a complete yearly physical examination is obsolete. In its place, doctors are encouraged to substitute an entity called the ''periodic health examination'' that, for healthy people between ages 25 and 64, consists mostly of reminders about health risks like smoking and driving without seat belts, and screening tests, tailored to the patient's age and life style, like mammograms, PAP smears and blood tests for sexually transmitted disease. This is what many patients experience in their yearly visit to the doctor.
But abolishing the yearly physical may have unexpectedly serious repercussions, other doctors say. ''I believe in it,'' said Dr. Michael A. LaCombe, the director of cardiology at Maine General Medical Center in Augusta and a nationally known medical educator. ''There's a lot of soft stuff involved in a yearly physical that can never be put into a database or measured with outcomes. There's an intimacy with a patient, a closeness that evolves into disclosure that doesn't occur on a questionnaire or with a perfunctory 15 minute appointment.''
Furthermore, Dr. LaCombe said, when doctors no longer routinely examine healthy patients, they lose their innate sense of what is normal in the human body, and become increasingly unable to distinguish what is abnormal when a patient gets sick.
Recent studies confirm that this may well be happening. A 1992 study at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., one of the most prestigious places to study internal medicine in the country, showed that residents there were only about 50 percent accurate in identifying the heart murmurs and other physical examination abnormalities that appear when a patient has a damaged heart valve.
In 1994, 200 medical students and residents at Philadelphia-area hospitals were asked to listen to tape recordings of the characteristic sounds heard through the stethoscope in patients with a variety of lung diseases. They too scored about 50 percent overall.
In a paper published in the Archives of Internal Medicine last month, three experienced Seattle doctors were asked to figure out if a few dozen patients had pneumonia without looking at the patients' chest X-rays. Even the best missed a third of the cases.

Today is my Mom's birthday. I know you're turning that idea over very slowly in your mind right now (the I have a mother part, not the�she's having a birthday today part). You are not the first and you will not be the last attempting to entertain that thought.
My mother and her husband, my father, had six children-three of each sex. The motion to have the same number of children but only two of each sex was defeated, mom once suggested to me in a dream, on a voice vote surrounding a technicality. I choose to always believe her, even if none of that exchange ever happened.
My parents were�married nearly thirty years and had raised three of us to adulthood (okay, Evan and Kelly to adulthood and me to�older and let's leave it at that) when my father passed away of a heart attack leaving Mom with Kara, Jill and Adam to raise by herself.�A woman who could be married to�our Dad for thirty years, was and is, more than equal to that task.
The three were raised and raised up, as were we all, by a remarkable woman whose praises I sing (not literally at the�request of dogs everywhere) not only because she's my mom but because she' the mom of Evan, Kelly, Kara, Jill and Adam, a wonderful grandmother and a superlative great grandmother.
Each of us and all of us have, in our way, become the people she saw we could be (I am sure) from the moment she laid eyes on us. It was love at sight for her and for us and I can assure you it wasn't easy because some of us�were not, and are still not, always so lovable.
She'll be at the beach today where she lives in Florida because why else would you move�there and trust me, from her childhood at Howard Beach to now, she has�had an affection for�the�ocean. She's weathered every�changing�in the time and tides of her life�more than even she might like to recall so I hope today, her birthday is beyond anything and everything she ever wanted because the woman who raised us only wanted the world for us, her children.
For herself, our happiness was her joy. Happy Birthday, Mom!

Since I am mentally incapable of thought processes. I did not realize, that there was an introduction thread, which would make logical sense. Anyway, here is a brief description of myself.
I was born in 1974, I was born and bred in Bradford, Pennsylvania. I have graduated from Carnegie Mellon, with a Ph. d. in History, my major subjects of study are the Roaring Twenties, The Depression, and WWII, but am currently unemployed in that field, I do however run a successful antiques business and have made quite a bit of money that way, I will tell you that I hope someday to resume my teaching carreer, but I find that I'm not searching very hard to fill that gap. I live in a beautiful building built at the turn of the century, if you wish to read my journal, you'll see that I'm not bad off. It is titled The History of My Eccentrity , read that also for a descripton of my lifestyle. I married Mrs. Elizabeth Craig, two years my junior and we are expecting in 6 months. I am very happy about having a child, and so is my wife. I may start looking for a position at a nearby University, though my current income is not mediocre, to say the least. My hobbies include collecting antique furniture, refurbing old typewriters, reading Lord of the Rings [at least once a year], and driving my old Deusenburg.
Please message me I love to correspond with other people.

The Plague
by Albert Camus
Analysis: Tone
Take a story's temperature by studying its tone. Is it hopeful? Cynical? Snarky? Playful?
Camus definitely approaches The Plague didactically. Not that we love him any less for it. The difficult part about discussing tone with a novel like this lies in trying to separate the tone of the narrator from the tone of the author. The trick is to think about how Rieux and other characters come across. For example, Rieux thinks he's being objective, but Camus has him so overemphasize this point that it becomes ironic; Rieux is certain of his objectivity, but we all know it's bunk. Another example is Paneloux; Rieux may be indifferent to the priest's beliefs, but the novel (and therefore Camus) is clearly condemning him.
Now that we've broken the barrier between the author and his character, let's get back to this moralistic tone claim we made up there. What we mean to say is that Camus clearly intends to teach us a lesson with his novel. We are expected to conclude from The Plague that the world is irrational, that suffering is inevitable and senseless, and that we should take up arms against it anyway. But the point in talking about tone isn't to figure out what lessons we're being taught; it's the very fact that we're being taught lessons at all. Hats off, in this case, since it's hard to be moralistic without getting preachy. Just ask Father Paneloux.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
It is fair to ask AND to expect a business to be upfront about their practices, rather than "After the fact".
Not to mention, their "diagnosis" was bullshit and just plain wrong. Audi in a few weeks announced a car defect that was made right by them. HAD I done what Autoscope recommended, I would've incorrectly been out $3000!
Brought both matters to Steve Fordham's attention (the incorrect diagnosis AND the bullshit fee). Jerk proceeds to argue with me on the phone and says this fee is "Standard procedure" throughout all high-end dealerships in DFW. Again, bullshit. I have my car worked on at Boardwalk Audi, University Park Audi, etc. and NEVER have been assessed any fee. THIS IS A LIE.
So, to recap: Bullshit fee, bullshit diagnosis for $3K, and arrogant help who doesn't like being confronted with their unethical business practices.
Don't be taken in by the shiny waiting room with water, brewed coffee, taking you to Love Field, etc. IT IS A TRAP.
Reported them to the BBB and contested the charge on my credit card with them fighting the whole way.
BEWARE> NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS. Find a garage you can trust to be upfront, fair and trustworthy. Autoscope is NONE of these things.

Two sides to every story
SUBMITTED: Saturday, April 05, 2014POSTED: Saturday, April 05, 2014
Years later I came across your report...sorry for the delay.
First, YOU signed the check in sheet where you approved the $120.00 to diagnose the car. Its the same process each and everytime a vehicle is check in. You were not treated any differently than anyone else. We want our clients to understand the process and even explain that the diagnosis fee is actually waived when you approve repairs.
Second, plese contact any of the dealerships in area and confirm that a diagnosis fee IS requested when checking a car into service for repairs that are not covered under warranty.
Here are a few samples that you may call and check for yourself:
Classic BMW 972-918-1100
Audi of Plano 972-452-3800
Audi of Dallas 214-561-1849
Park Place MB 214-526-8701
You were provided an itemized estimate to perform repairs. While you are correct that less than 3 weeks AFTER your visit, Audi of North American did release a service campaign to address the concerns you had. IF you had actually paid for the repairs to be performed elsewhere, Audi of North America would have actually refunded your money , in full. So, you wouldn't have actually been out anything.
Lastly, I would ask anyone who is reading this report, to consider the language and tone the anonomous poster is using to make his point on the internet, and to ask yourself, if someone came at you using abusive language, aggressive tone, and calling you a liar , how far would you go to discuss a fact that you know to be true, when all they want to do is fight?
It came down to money, he didn't have the money to repair his car, and had been turned away from other local Audi shops, for contesting previously approved repairs.
I'm glad you've had your car repaired at a price you cannot argue with and I am sorry that I came across the way you are making me out to be....
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Definición de Burman en inglés:
sustantivo (plural Burmans) & adjetivo
Another term for Burmese (sense 1 of the noun).
Oraciones de ejemplo
- The Burmans of Dabur will not mind their partner, the CGNU Group (now Aviva Plc) of the UK, increasing its stake in the life insurance venture, Aviva, if regulation permits.
- One story, 'The Railway of Death' concerned an escaped prisoner-of-war in Burma and his faithful elephant who pulled down a bridge as a Japanese munitions train was crossing it, to the joy of the loyal Burmans.
- But the Karens, who were mostly Christians and lived in the Irrawaddy delta and in the hills between the Sittang and Salween rivers, were pro-British, as colonial rule had suppressed persecution of them by the Burmans.

Trees - ever fancied growing one in your garden, but worried about it getting too big? They're not all giants and our range features deciduous and evergreen trees for all sizes of garden. Some can even be grown in large containers on the patio.
added to your basket.
Holly 'Golden King' (Standard Tree)
Ilex x altaclerensisStandard Holly trees make fabulous specimen plants, and this one is no exception. Despite its name, Holly 'Golden King' is a self fertile female variety, so you can be sure of a fabulous display of scarlet winter berries that are always popular with birds. The glossy evergreen foliage makes an attractive year round display, enhanced by tiny white flowers in summer. These lovely evergreen trees are perfect for creating an elegant entrance to doorways or a focal point in garden borders. Compact and easy to maintain, Holly trees make excellent container plants.
Supplied as pot grown plant, with a 50cm (20") stem and a trained head of foliage. Mature height: 150cm (59"). Mature spread: 60cm (24"). More info
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Pearly Swirls' (Large Plant)
Cupressus lawsoniana, Lawson CypressA highly attractive conifer with sprays of grey-green foliage tipped with cream colouring. This unique pearly appearance persists throughout the year as the cream shoot tips slowly fade to white. Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Pearly Swirls' has a fabulous rounded habit that forms a neat, compact sphere. This dwarf Lawson Cypress is a superb specimen plant for alpine and rockery gardens and can even be grown in large containers for an evergreen patio feature. Height and spread: 100cm (39"). More info
Chamaecyparis pisifera 'White Pygmy' (Large Plant)
Cupressus pisifera, Sawara CypressExactly as the name describes, Chamaecyparis pisifera 'White Pygmy' is a fabulous dwarf conifer reaching just 60cm (24") at maturity. This charming Sawara Cypress is distinctive for its white-tipped sprays of feathery foliage that create beautifully textured, spherical mounds. A superb, slow growing specimen for rockeries, gravel gardens and containers, needing virtually no maintenance once established. Height and spread: 60cm (24"). More info
Holly 'Argentea Marginata'
Ilex aquifolium, Ilex aquifolium 'Argentea Variegata'Young purple-pink leaves mature to provide lustrous, dark green foliage with a bright silvery edge. The creamy white summer flowers give way to clusters of scarlet red winter berries that provide an essential food source for birds during the coldest months. In time, Holly 'Argentea Marginata' forms a magnificent, conical evergreen tree that makes a superb specimen for year round interest. This attractive female variety is ideal for woodland areas and low maintenance gardens. Ultimate height if left unpruned: 15m (50'). Ultimate spread if left unpruned: 4m (12'). More info
Acer negundo 'Flamingo' (Large Plant)
Box Elder, Ashleaf MapleA fast growing type of maple, this attractive tree is grown for its striking foliage. New leaves appear in spring with a definite pink hue to them and as they mature they acquire their normal green colouring, with an unusual white or pale pink variegation! Due to its naturally small size for a tree of this type, Acer negundo 'Flamingo' can be grown in a smaller sized garden, although pruning will be needed, alternatively it can be kept pruned back regularly and grown as a large shrub, either way it will certainly be a hit in your garden! Height: 12m (39'). Spread: 8m (26'). More info

Earnings expectations for the 3rd quarter call for revenues of $257.94 million and EPS of $0.58.
My prognosis is for a big miss on both metrics. Revenues will dip to $244 million based on a drop in new enrollments of 10%, and EPS will come in well below $0.50 as a result of higher instruction and SGA costs.
The HLC visit was scheduled for last week, however, it would be surprising if they disclose any information on the visit results until they at least receive a draft of the team report.
Any other guesses as to the quarterly announcement on the 5th?
I think the full impact of the new enrollment declines will be delayed somewhat as the existing students work their way through the system.
Are new enrollments only down 10%? Is this for the quarter or YTD?
My question is how could they lay off 400+ "admissions counselors", fight thru the bad press, have question marks about whether Asford will be accredited when these new enrollments graduate, and only lose one out of every ten applicants?
My forecast assumed a 10% drop from Sept. 2011 new enrollments of 22,000 students, for an estimate of 19,800 total new students for the quarter. The Company has an historic four year 22% attrition rate between quarters, so it was assumed that the continuing student population would approximate 72,200 students (June enrollment of 92,620 less 22%), and total enrollment would be around 92,000.
Your point that the new enrollment impact will be much greater than 10% is quite valid. The reason I used the lower estimate was to demonstrate that the consensus analyst outlook was way too optimistic. If your prognosis is correct, the results going forward get much worse.

Think labeling-reading moms with young children are the best customer for your natural, organic and healthy products? You might want to think again, as New Hope Natural Media has learned through our new Market Innovation Consumer Segmentation study. Get to know the group we think could become your greatest customer base in this infographic.
Who buys natural, organic and other healthy products? The answer goes well beyond the typical label-obsessed mom with young children, as New Hope Natural Media has learned through our new Market Innovation Consumer Segmentation study.
We conducted this survey of more than 5,000 U.S. consumers in July 2013 because we wanted to understand why consumers are buying (or are not buying) and, more important, share this information with the broader natural products industry to help suppliers, manufacturers and retailers know who to target and how with their healthy offerings.
Here we introduce the #Young4Ever consumer segment. This group, which skews younger and male, just may be a better target market for healthy products than the "uber moms" most traditional consumer segmentations often focus on for the natural and organic market. The infographic below outlines more about these shoppers and our video profile features three members of this trend-conscious group.
Want to explore the other consumer segments? Check out these infographics and related videos:

I absolutely love this. The plucking and strings playing give me a feeling and an image of a bunch of guys around a fire at night. But the faint timpani and low brass in the back ground makes me a little said to see them go off to fight the next morning, like a major contrast. Wonderful job. This is the first I have ever heard and I am going to listen to more because of this. Keep up the wonderful work. But I would have to agree with Lightningpichu it needs some sort of ending, though I think something quite like the begging but with more timpani low brass playing in the back, like an ominous force in the night and on the scene.
Thank you very much sir. Truth is, I might be doing a complete remake of this song sometime in the near future.

Just.. Amazing. I might (With Permission of course) make a story of these. As I said in the higher ranked submission, it creates the story, the story doesn't create it. Thank you so much for sharing this beautied creation with us.
Thanks once again! :D
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Nice intro, its soft and beautiful like almost every single submission on here, but it has an emotion attached that most composers on this site fail to invoke. Lots of expression in the plucked string solos. Moving into a new section, it fit perfectly with the intro, I like the low brass and timpani and how its fading in and out. That solo instrument is georgous, just by the way. Ok, I can see where you are going, reiterating the first statement, but inside im kind of hoping for a build up or something new, I feel like its taking just a hair too long. I think thats a pretty common way authors lose the interest of their listeners, is without enough transition. Alright we made a transition, but its back to the low brass and timpani once again. This piece is beautiful, but in every beautiful piece there is at least one huge moment. One of those moments where the listeners began to feel sad, that moment that births tears, that one moment that makes the listener wish he or she had listened to nothing else ever in their lives, because the one thing they're listening to at that one moment is so beautiful, they feel like they've never known music. I never once got that feeling, and in a piece as well written as this, one of those sections is absolutely necessary. Everything about this piece is beautiful, and executed perfectly, it's just not as elaborated as one might hope.
Perhaps you were thinking of a crescendo. You're right, there wasn't really a big "buildup" near the end.

Rid of income/corporate tax and shift to consumption and all hell naw...that's crazy! What gets me is how much groceries cost here. Meat and dairy product prices doubled and in some cases tripled when I moved across the country. Add sales tax on top. WTF? And the annual vehicle tax.... On top of the highest gas taxes.... While pushing for tolls.... And still receiving stimulus money..... Oh hell naw. Somebody better start auditing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In 1949, a reporter for the International News Service (the predecessor to United Press International) approached the FBI and asked about writing a story about the "toughest guys" being sought by the FBI at the time. The Bureau provided the names and descriptions of 10 fugitives to the reporter. The resulting feature became a major story and garnered national attention. In response to the overwhelming public interest, on March 14, 1950, then Director J. Edgar Hoover inaugurated the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives program.
Since then, the FBI, through the Top Ten list, has been asking for help from the public to locate its most dangerous fugitives. The response has been impressive. Since 1950, 504 fugitives have appeared on the list; 473 have been apprehended or located, with 156 of those fugitives located as a direct result of citizen cooperation.

His wife posted these photos of Dan at the award ceremony at 4 p.m., saying "He looks pretty good with just a few hours sleep."
We agree! Congrats, Dan, on another great endurance event!

A Michigan woman will be celebrating her defeat of breast cancer in a way runners can truly appreciate — with a world-class long run. And, she'll be running through our stomping grounds.
Davina McNaney has been training for the journey of a lifetime. On June 19, 2015 she will depart from her home in Pinckney, Michigan on a 470 mile solo run to her childhood hometown of Sodus Point, New York. She will pound the pavement 33 miles each day, for a total of 14 days, in order to accomplish this feat.
In 2012, Davina (age 40, married and mother of two girls) was diagnosed with breast cancer following her first mammogram. She took immediate action to fight the ailment, resulting in a double mastectomy with reconstructive surgery. She has been cancer free ever since, and credits her survival to early detection and the developments in cancer research. Her run was designed to raise funds for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and her hope is to make the path of other breast cancer sufferers as successful as hers was. She has already raised over $4,500 for the cause.
Davina is dedicated to her training. She rises at 5:30 AM daily to run, logging 30-80 miles per week. She's always been athletic, but has increasingly become an avid runner over the past 12 years. She has learned to use her running as a pathway towards helping and motivating others. Her 1st marathon in Buffalo, NY was run to support The American Stroke Association in honor of her grandmother. On her 40th birthday, she ran 40 miles and raised over $4,000 for Gleaners Food Bank. For the last 3 years, she was the Race Director for The Run for the GOLD 5K & Kids Run held in downtown Pinckney, bringing in thousands of dollars each year to support children within the community. She never claims to be the fastest runner out there but strives to be one of the most dedicated and driven. She inspires people with her running, her determination and her story.
A friend forwarded me that press release (above) and, normally, I'd just post it and leave it at that, but after reading it, I thought…I have to know more. So, I emailed Davina who graciously answered all my questions. I found her to be a very inspiring athlete and I think you will, too.
How old are you now? 42
How old are your daughters? Sasha-7, Nadja-4
Are you married/significant other? Married for 10 years to Steve who is also from Sodus Point where my run will end.
Do you work outside the home? I've been a stay at home mom for 7 years since Sasha was born. I have a Master's in School Psychology & worked in children's mental heath for 15 years before my girls arrived.
You were diagnosed after your first mammogram at 40? That must've been shocking…and terrifying. Did they know right away that something was wrong? I was shocked and went for a 2nd opinion at University of Michigan, where they confirmed DCIS Breast Cancer.
What was your first thought when you found out you had breast cancer? Disbelief because I have always been a health conscious person. 3 months prior, I ran a 40 mile trail race to raise money for the local food bank so I was in great shape. This diagnosis did not fit the "definition" I had for myself.
What was the suggested treatment? My doctors were amazing and because of my young age they gave me many options. They wanted me to make the decision that was right for my age, lifestyle & desired long-term outcome. I had the choice of 35 radiation treatments with a lumpectomy, a lumpectomy alone, a single mastectomy or a double. I had no desire to be conservative with my treatment choice because I never wanted to revisit a cancer diagnosis again. Having nursed both my children, my breast were no longer any use to me. They served their purpose and now they had betrayed me so I was more than happy to get rid of them. Undergoing a double mastectomy with reconstructive surgery allowed me to avoid radiation. I am so thankful and lucky they found the cancer so early that chemotherapy was not necessary. Many women are not as fortunate as me.
How long have you been cancer free? 2 years
What do you want people to know about breast cancer? That if it's caught early, the impact can be minimized. The more research there is, the less people have to die from breast cancer.
What do you hope to accomplish with this 470-mile run? 1.) Lots of donations to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. 2.) Inspire people to set goals they believe in, dream big & help others while they're at it. 3.) Display a positive example for my daughters that you never need to set limits on yourself & moms are super strong. 4.) Celebrate my health by supporting those more severely impacted by breast cancer.
What made you think of this, i.e. want to do it? I love running and have previously used it as a mode of raising funds for charitable causes. I wanted to celebrate big so why not do a multi-day journey run & really go big?! The idea popped into my head when I woke up one May morning in 2014. I tried to ignore it but the desire never left me.
What solidified your decision to do it? I'd been thinking about it for about a month, reading information and weighing the feasibility of such a huge undertaking so the idea was at the forefront of my consciousness. I was talking to a neighbor and the words "I'm going to run to New York" just rolled off my tongue. I promptly slapped my hand over my mouth but the cat was out of the bag. I knew I was doing it. It still took me another month to convince my husband though.
Thirty-three miles a day is more than a marathon a day. How have you been training for this? Lots of miles logged, strength training & flexibility. In the last 9 days, I ran 3 marathons & a 50K (31 miles), where 2 of the runs were on very rugged/challenging trails. I run at 5:30 in the morning and do gym sessions when both daughters are in school so I take less time away from my family. I log between 30 & 80 miles per week.
Did you, too, have a harsh winter? How did that impact your training? My treadmill & I are really good friends.
Can your body handle 33 miles a day for two weeks? We shall see. I've talked to other ultra runners who have completed journey runs. Gary Allan (ran from Maine to the Super Bowl during the Polar Vortex last year, 23 time Boston Marathon competitor) had to go to the hospital for IV fluids midway through his run. Lisa Smith-Batchen (completed Badwater x4) unknowingly suffered a broken foot & walked the last 4 days of her run. I am not naive in thinking that I'm invincible and nothing could possibly happen to me. Many of the people that I've spoken with are amazing runners with a long list of accomplishments and journey runs are challenging for them. I am a regular person (homemaker, average runner) who is on a personal journey to help others. I am not in a race, speed is of no concern. Finishing safely in 14 days is.
What problems do you anticipate? Recovering for the next days run, staying hydrated, sufficient foot care, taking a wrong turn on the route, stomach issues, getting behind schedule, etc. Any number of things could go wrong but I often review such scenarios in my head in an attempt to better prepare myself. My back to back (B2B) long runs help me work some of these issues out, which is helpful.
Will you have a support crew…will people follow you? Steve, my husband, is my support crew. He'll have the crew van and a bike to offer me support while running. I also have a sponsor, Vincent Antunez (owner of Trail Toes Anti-Friction and Body Products), who is an former Army Paramedic and ultra runner in my corner. He is always available for tips & suggestions.
Will others run with you at all? I have some people who are interested in starting out with me, a few along the way & many who are interested in running the last few miles with me. My 25th Sodus Central High School Class Reunion is on July 4th, the day after I arrive in town. Many of my classmates plan to meet me at the HS and run the last 6 miles with me. We also plan to notify running clubs along the route in hopes that they'll run a few miles with me too. Our exact route with hotel stops will go on my website in a few weeks. We are still trying to secure a hotel sponsor.
What do your daughters/family think of this idea? They think I'm crazy but they are all supportive. My daughters love asking me questions about running. They continually tell strangers in public, "My mom's running to NY!" so they like to brag about me, which is very cute.
What are you most looking forward to on this journey? Not worrying about anything but putting one foot in front of the other. I can be very focused, rather than multitasking & taking
care of all my usual responsibilities.
How are you preparing for it in other ways than running…are you, like, stockpiling granola bars & GU, etc.? Definitely gathering supplies, making t-shirts with logos/sponsors, making lists of supplies, reading books & web info, marketing the run, thinking of how to organize supplies, looking at roads & routes on Google maps.
What do you hope to accomplish through this feat? Showing others that anything is possible & you can determine how to make a positive impact based on your own skill set.
Do you know the route you're running? In general, yes. Definitely looking for a hotel sponsor, hoping for Best Western because their coverage is really good on the route.
When will you be in the Erie area? Where can people cheer you on? It looks like it should be June 26th & June 27th. Plan to start runs at 7am. The exact roads are still TBD but W. Lake Rd., W 6th St, Rt 5 are on the list right now. Also, an interesting twist, June 26th is my older daughter's 8th birthday & June 27th is my nephew's high school graduation from Sodus, neither of which I would even consider missing. Therefore, I will run my miles on the 26th then drive to Sodus Point to celebrate with my daughter. The next morning, I will go to graduation then drive back to Erie to run my miles for that day. It won't be easy but my family definitely comes first.
Exactly what kind of sponsorship are you looking for? (hotel rooms, food, etc.?) Definitely a hotel sponsor! We've contacted several & have not yet had luck. I'm also looking for a dealership that might be interested in sponsoring/providing the crew van with their name on it. That's really good exposure! I have 10 sponsors right now that have provided services, products & monetary support towards the run.
Favorite running shoe? Brooks, Mizuno, Newton
Average pace? Like I said, I'm an average runner. 5k-7:55 min, ½ marathon-9:05, marathon-10:40, 50K-13:00
What pace do you plan to do this 470-mile journey in? I'll be making pit stops for food, hydration & footwear changes. I have no intention to worry about pace. I think that would be pressure that is unnecessary. I didn't wear my Garmin during Sunday's 5oK Trail Race because I just wanted to run by feel and effort. It was a smart move.
What's are your PRs? 5K-24:42, ½-1:59, full-4:40. Sometimes I feel like I should focus on just getting faster times because that's what makes a great runner. But I always circle back to why I run. I run long distances for a purpose and the purpose is never bragging rights that I run fast. I respect those that are driven by crushing their PR but that doesn't cut it for me. Plus, the world is made up of many different types of runners and only 1 of those runners is actually the fastest, everyone else is just slower. I never run at a pace that makes me want to vomit or just die, which some would say is wrong. I generally feel good when I run & enjoy my time.
Favorite marathon you've ever done? The Running Fit Pinckney Trail Marathon this past weekend. It is beautiful to run through the woods and along the lakes. You have to pay close attention to the technical, hilly, rocky and root filled trails.
Who inspires you? My children and my husband. They are my biggest cheerleaders.
Favorite post-run treat? A bacon cheeseburger & a beer

A friend asked me recently how I handle fueling during long runs. As I started to tell him what I do, it occurred to me that it's a very individualized thing, so I tossed the question out to the Erie running community and asked them: How do you fuel on long training runs? What to do you carry with you to eat/drink? Do you drop water…plan routes near water…or just gut it out? What about gels, beans, etc. What's your long run fueling strategy? (Not racing…but training long runs).
Here's what they had to say:
Small Camelback with Gatorade or water depending on how far I'm going. I start sipping early and often. I can't stomach much else. — Ginny Sackett
For marathon training, we wore belts with water and carried gels, beans, and no bakes (the best). The absolute best training help though was having my husband (CJ) ride along on his bike with water, gatorade, and food. He was able to go back & forth between groups of runners and keep everyone fueled and hydrated. — Jen Kelly (Editor's note: as a running friend of Jen's and a recipient of CJ's kindness, I can attest that it was freaking awesome.)
While marathon training we tried a lot of different fuels and found that the more natural choices like the applesauce in pouches and small peanut butter no-bakes worked the best. We wore fuel belts with water and even had our own personal bike rider with water and Gatorade! — Stacey Hammer
Camelback not sure how I ever ran with out it. And chocolate flavor Gu. — Amy Cronk
No bakes are the best long run fuel! Nothing fake in them. I do carry a fuel belt when I need to but they can be a pain. — Susan Ellsworth
Use Nuun in a hydration vest, and then homemade gels (with tart cherry juice, chia seeds to thicken, and a few other items). For snacks, I use honey sticks, gomacro bars, and pocketfuel peanut butter. I can't stomach regular gels so making my own has been a life saver! — Megs Shearman
Best advice for long runs for me was from Tom Toale- GU with caffeine. I'm amazed at how much better I can endure those last long miles with the added caffeine. — Carol Crandall
I hate wearing water belts, so I always drop water along the route if it's over 8 or 10 miles. I also use honey stinger energy chews, grapes, and mini no bake cookies (per Alan Ellsworth). The no bake cookies are the best for quick sugar, carbs, and a little protein. — Karen Beebe
I used a camelback with water and carried Powergel. And I tried to be consistent so my marathon energy would not be a surprise. Key, I think, is to find what works for you and work with it. One electrolyte drink had a sugar combo that would reliably cause me to bonk. I avoided it from then on. know your body's reactions and work with that. —Jim Lang
I don't really do anything under 10 miles unless it's really hot out. We plant water along the route, and tuck whatever gel or chews work for us under our bra straps. I found out the hard way that I cannot run really long distances on water alone. My body couldn't absorb it without help from Gatorade or other like-substances. I learned to switch between water and "other" every few miles.
Marathon training was about trying different things. Found more natural options to work the best for fuel. We carried water and also dropped water along the route sometimes. Worst thing was needing water and being out of it!! — Leslie Cooksey
As for me….
A.) No-BAKES? Who knew? OMG…well, apparently a lot of you who are my FRIENDS. How did all of you never tell me about this before???? See…now I may consider another marathon …I mean…no bakes? Totally worth 20 stupid miles. 😉 (JK…don't go booking a hotel, Parmenter!)
B.) I don't fuel (or carry water) for anything less than 13 miles (unless it's very hot). If I'm doing a very long run (over 15 miles), I'll carry a few Gu packets and water or Gatorade. Or…more likely park somewhere and plan a route that allows me to go by my car to refuel (I HATE carrying stuff or wearing any sort of fuel belt…so it it doesn't fit in my bra..I'm not packing it).

The 10th Annual R.A.C.E. (Run Across Erie County), an informal group run from — you guessed it — one border of Erie County to the other is scheduled for Saturday at 7:30 a.m. There is no charge to participate. No application to fill out. No shirts, awards or timing. The course is fully open to traffic and there will be no marshals or course markings to guide you. In fact, it's not even really a race…more of a big group long run. Everyone is welcome.
The group is meeting at Avonia Park (at the lake) in Fairview at 7:30 a.m. They will then shuttle to the start near Crossingville, Pa., for the 19-mile run back to Fairview. After finishing, they'll gather at the Avonia Tavern to carbo load!
Race organizer Mike Vieyra said the weather should cooperate. Forecast is for a warm spell (39 to 43 degrees). Mike also said they are also looking for volunteers to help with shuttling to the start and providing a mobile aid station to give out water, electrolyte and GU gels.
You don't have to do the whole 19 miles. You can jump in at some point along the course. See a map of the course here.

How many times can you run a mile in 12 hours? Find out on Saturday during the Presque Isle Endurance Classic.
The event starts Saturday morning at 6:30 a.m. and ends at 6:30 p.m. and the course is simple — it's a 1-mile loop that starts and finishes in front of Cabin No. 2 (West of the Rotary Pavilion) at Presque Isle. How many times you want to run that mile in those 12 hours is up to you.
Here's how race director, Mike Vieyra, explains the Endurance Run:
The primary purpose of this event is to promote cardiovascular fitness in a safe, relaxed and friendly environment. Many individuals will run/walk a distance beyond that they have previously achieved or set a personal goal that is meaningful to them. It is a personal thing and not a competition with other participants.
There are no trophies or prize money to be handed out but we do offer the option to purchase a commemorative plaque that is personalized with your name and accomplishment (miles).
This event was started 30+ years ago by some of the founding fathers of the Erie Runners Club to test the endurance of some of the local runners. It still stands today as a personal test of ones endurance whether it be running or walking or any combination thereof because of the tireless efforts of Rick Ferko and his long time volunteers. Rick's battle with cancer ended shortly after the 2006 Endurance Run.
Some people do 1 mile. Some do 10 miles. Some do their age (harder when you're older, of course) and some people do 64 miles.
Two years ago, I participated in this race for the first time, and I LOVED it. I'm planning to be there this Saturday. I have no plan on how many miles to run…we'll just see what I feel like doing.
You can stay and run for 12 hours. You can come & go. You can run 4 miles in the morning and come back and do 10 after lunch – it's your race. It's your challenge.
Race details and application are here.

Dr. Dan Young finished the 100 mile OC100 race in 23:44 — 16th out of 93 finishers! Photo by Lee Ann Reiners.
This past weekend was the premier ultra race in the area — the Oil Creek 100 Trail Runs. The Oil Creek 100 include three distance choices: a 50K, 100K and 100 miles. Race director, Tom Jennings' attention to detail, legion of dedicated volunteers, and years of directing experience have put this race at the top of a lot of ultra runners' to-do list. Can't believe people would clamor to run umpteen miles through the rugged terrain of Oil Creek State Park? Um….this race sold out in 90 seconds last year. Doesn't that just about say it all?
Considering I don't even like marathons and the first time I ever ran at Oil Creek with friends, I started throwing F-bombs on the switchbacks, I don't think you'll ever find me running the OC100. So I have to live vicariously through those who are up for the challenge.
Here are two great reviews — one from Erie runner Pat Krott who did 100 miles & one from the guy who calls himself the Detroit Runner who did the 50K.

* Life advice from ultra happy ultrarunner Hal Koerner
* What's for dinner? Need inspired? 11 athletes share their favorite meals.
* Car versus deer versus runner. (This is the kind of crap that would happen to me.)
* Did you know funny guy Will Ferrell is an avid runner & marathoner? Yep, Buddy Elf goes long.
Next time you have to run on a treadmill, may you do so with the enthusiasm of Meatball, the Corgi on the playground carousel:
This is a DIY Santa shirt…perfect for Saturday morning's ERC Snowflake 5K!

Some people do 1 mile. Some do 10 miles. Some do their age (harder when you're older, of course) and some people do 64 miles.
Last year, I participated in this race for the first time, and I LOVED it. Sadly, I have to miss it this year (but it's for a happy reason — we have a family wedding on Saturday).

Erie runner Pat Krott recently completed his first Western States Endurance Run, a prestigious 100-mile trail race in California that is considered one of the toughest endurance events in the country. Pat got it done in a little over 25 hours. Think about that….running/moving for 25 HOURS!
He recently wrote a report for irunfar.com — read it here.
Congrats, Pat!

Can the political institutions that once formed the backbone of the anti-Soviet alliance long endure after the fall of the common enemy? Did the crisis of 2002–3 portend the demise of the Atlantic partnership? If so, what are the likely consequences? Wrestling with these questions, the contributors to this volume arrive at a range of conclusions. Some common themes emerge, however.
Regardless of where blame lies for the recent debacle – and the contributors differ sharply on that question – there is a shared sense that the project of building and maintaining an Atlantic community is at serious risk. As outlined in the introduction to this volume, the Alliance's strategic purpose is unclear and its domestic support greatly weakened in a number of key countries. The simultaneous fading of strategic clarity and erosion of domestic support is no accident. Only a rearticulation of the partnership's central meaning, in terms that correspond more closely to the desires of citizens and of organized interests on both sides of the Atlantic, will suffice if the Alliance is to thrive in the new century.
But, while the Atlantic mood has improved, it is hardly clear that national leaders will choose to revitalize the Alliance. The combination of tangible challenges and diffuse benefits poses a substantial deterrent.
