""I believe that the Bible is the literal word of God." And I say no, it's not, Dad. "Well, I believe that it is." Well, you know, some people believe they're Napoleon. That's fine. Beliefs are neat. Cherish them, but don't share them like they're the truth."
"You ever notice that people who believe in creationism look really unevolved? Eyes real close together, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in one day." Yeah, looks like he rushed it."
Sorry, I thought this thread needed a little Bill Hicks.

I pray for surf. Does that make me a bad person. I pray it only breaks where I paddle out, then it goes flat or gets blown out after I leave. Does that make me a selfish douchebag? I pray I don't get hit with jellyfish or get run over by a SUPers or that I get a 30 second barrel shotting the Cocoa Pier. What is so wrong with that? When hurricanes come, I pray they go offshore, not because I want to see no one get hurt, its because I want good waves. I pray it scoots north, then stalls, just so I get offshore winds and a week of waves (only when I am in the water, the waves should get infested by sea lice when I am not in the lineup). I pray all the time. What's wrong with that?

She finished the course in 8 months. A high school diploma in 8 months seems a little crazy to me, so i looked into it a little more and found out it was all true and false questions and knew that she was not learning anything.
I called the dept of education and they said they had never heard of the school and that they were not accredited in the united states.
So my daughter is now back in public school, a year behind, and my family is out a lot of money. They are a big scam and they need to be stopped before they rob anymore families out of their hard earned money.

Should Blake Griffin be MVP? The kid is good to me but not as good as LeBron, Kobe, D-Rose, Rondo, etc. His team is terrible and will not crack the playoffs at this rate. It also looks like Griffin is trying to knock down individual achivements instead of team ones like, getting 30 wins and getting above .500. So the question is, is Griffin MVP? Will his team make the playoffs? Is he focusing too much on individual achivements? Feedback.
Griffin will be next yrs MVP when he and Eric Gordon and Baron Davis learn to work together a little better
Um No. There are too many other players that are more worthy.
None of the above. His team, while they may be on the right track, is bad, and he isnt nearly the all around player he needs to be...yet

Speaking from the perspective of someone who never played the 2D Sonic games back in the day (I took the Nintendo / Sony console track) and doesn't have nostalgia on their side, and played 3D Sonic games before any 2D ones, I find the 3D ones better and more fun to play. I thought Sonic Unleashed was a fantastic game, but I know I'm one of about 10 people who think that.
Sonic Adventure is quite fun and I think it's worth playing if you like 3D Sonic, but the story is laughable and there isn't much to it at all. Don't take it too seriously and you'll have fun with it.
I tried the 2D versions on the Sega Genesis Collection and the slowness just killed it for me. I guess that's what I get when Unleashed is my first Sonic game.

After finishing the game's stories I hate to regret it but I wouln't buy it unless your after a game jst for the memories the camera is just plain awful at times especially if your playing as Big the Cat. A few times I've fell through the floor on trial runs trying to beat certain times on Emerals Coast with Sonic Level A requires it be done in 2mins flat.
My fastest time is 2:18 I've tried and tried but just cant get any faster have to look for videos on shortcuts, when I was doing well when I came upto to the loop-de-loop he fell through the floor. The whale part he would run over them fast track things and then would stop in mid flight and drowned.
I can see the emblems giving me issues but I am going to finish off the missions I think 1st then choa things however you spell it.
Sound is also a little bit bad music is really loud and it was in the DC version I never knew why it was so louder than the voices.
I'd rate it 3/5

I just bought Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure DX add-on, Sonic 1, Sonic, 2, and Sonic 4 for $19.99 on PSN. I feel like I made out big time! Hella' Deal!

Yes it's worth the buy. It has a good amount of length, multiple characters, different gameplay mechanics and a great story. Plus you can run around on the adventure fields just enjoying the atmosphere.

Continuing a steady 12-month trend, Western New York's housing market posted solid growth again in October, as sales rose strongly from the prior year and sellers saw gains in prices that are raising the bar on local housing values.
The number of completed home sales rose 9.5 percent in October, to 1,039, hitting the fourth-highest level of any month since mid-2010 and the highest peak for October in at least five years, according to the Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors.
And the pace showed no signs of slowing, as pending sales in October – where a contract's been signed but it's not final – rose 5.5 percent to 831. That's the highest level for October in at least five years and indicates a strong feed for the next two months.
More broadly, for the first 10 months of the year, closed sales rose 10.2 percent to 8,772, while pending sales were up 7.2 percent to 9,390. Both were the highest tally in at least two years.
"It's very strong. We've probably had our best year in five years, since the recession started," said Philip L. Aquila Jr., general manager of residential real estate at M.J. Peterson Corp. "The economy has gotten appreciably better and more stable, so people feel good about buying and selling again."
On the other side of the supply-and-demand equation, meanwhile, homeowners put 1,313 homes onto the market in October, a 3.5 percent increase from the total new listings a year earlier.
Even so, the higher pace of sales activity is overtaking the existing inventory, as the number of homes for sale fell 13.9 percent to 5,099. That's the lowest level for the month of October in four years – since the depths of the recession. Only the five months of last winter, from December 2012 through April 2013, were lower for any month since June 2010.
In fact, buyers didn't let available homes linger for long. Houses spent only 56 days on the market in October, down 15.2 percent, to the third-lowest level of any month since July 2010. And at that pace, the inventory would last 5.8 months, down 19.4 percent from a year earlier. That's the second-lowest level of any month in the past two years, and only the troughs of 2009 and 2010 were lower.
"It's great to see that our local market experienced such great activity this past year," said Robyn Cannata, a broker at Hunt Real Estate Corp. "But if we experience another boom in buyers and another shortage in inventory that doesn't match up to the demand, it will be another year of frustration for anyone thinking of buying."
As a result, buyer demand continued to drive up prices in October. The median sales price – half are higher and half are lower – rose 3.3 percent to $124,000, while the average rose 3.5 percent to $145,304. Those are lower than the summertime peaks of the housing market in the last two years, but are still higher than historic levels from all prior years.
Similarly, for the year to date, the median rose 4.2 percent to $125,000, while the average rose 4 percent to $148,759.
Nationally, home prices rose 11 percent in October from a year earlier, not including "distressed" sales such as short sales or sales of foreclosed properties, according to national research firm CoreLogic. In New York, prices rose 12.4 percent – the fifth-highest year-over-year gains of any state in October.

'Gangnam'-style video defends plastic bags
HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM (Oct. 26, 3:25 p.m. ET) — Korean dance-pop wouldn't seem to have much in common with the decidedly un-cool plastic shopping bag, but Malaysia's industry is hoping a little "Gangnam" style can help it subtly spread a pro-plastic-bag message.

I'm looking fro openning price on monday...$30.00 is my quess
i own 10 contracts.. wondering what they will be worth once apple breaks 400 in the next few days
I own Jan 12 at 385 what will they open up tomorrow?
I have 4 contracts of $360s that I bought at $31.50. With the AAPL trade made the last 3 weeks I have about tripled my money depending where this settles out.
I own 21 contracts and I am already up 100% because I don't listen to Cramer!!!!Anyway I think you are correct these should be between $30 and $40. Take a look at the $375 call from the close, it's at $40
Thanks...Delta is at .48 x $22 gain is $10.56 plus $21.00 close today..=$31.00 minumum
No, but I own 2010 $320! :-)
Oops meant 2012 $320....
30 is weyyy too low, JMHO.
my range is $30 to $32...do you have a number

Skill Level Beginner
When rendering with V-Ray in Maya, we get essentially three different flavors off the same light type. The V-Ray light comes in rectangular, spherical, and dome options. Now, as these are probably the most versatile of all the V-Ray specific lights available to us in Maya, they are probably the ones that we are going to find ourselves using on the majority of lighting jobs. Now, to demonstrate some of the features of the rectangular and spherical lights to you, we have loaded our Chapter 03 Character Bust scene from our Exercise Files folder.
This is a pretty basic scene that has been set up, really, to familiarize us with the controls of the V-Ray rectangular and spherical lights, as well as to cause us a number of problems that we will need to fix using V-Ray's tools and controls. Now, if we just come up to our Window menu, we want to open up the Outliner for ourselves, and if I just come to the Show menu, you can see we are filtering by Lights, and Light sets, so only light types are showing up inside of here. And if we just select our V-Ray key light, you can see, we get access to all of its parameters. Of course, make certain that you have the Attribute Editor showing. You are going to need to have that in order to work with the V-Ray lights controls.
Now, at this moment in time, if I just come up to the main toolbar, and open up our Maya Render View, you can see we have a number of pre-rendered images already set up in our Render View. We just want to save a little bit of time here. We are going to walk you through these renders as we make changes to our V-Ray lights, and to the controls inside of the Maya interface. If you want to work with the same image files, if you want to check them out yourself, I will just show you where they are. Go into File > Open, and if we just come up to our Exercise Files folder, you want to come into the Assets folder, and in this instance, into the Chapter 03 folder, and they are all in there, and you can work with those if you want to.
Now as you can see, in our initial render, as we said we would, we have a number of problems that we need to give some attention to. As you can see, we have here our V-Ray light plane is actually showing up inside of our render. If we just close the Render View, you can see this is where the light is in the scene; let's just minimize Outliner as well. So that's an issue that we are going to need to take care of. We also have something unusual going on, on the far side of our character's face. We only have the one key light in the scene, and yet, this side of the face, according to he skin material, looks as though there is some kind of fill light occurring in there, and yet the eyeball geometry clearly says that this side of the face really needs to be in shadow.
So we are going to want to investigate that problem also. We have some very nasty blowout on our character's face. This is very unflattering, and oftentimes is not an end result we want when lighting a character. And we also have, as you can see here, some very nasty noise effects in our area shadows. Area shadows are the shadow type that we will get from the V-Ray Light by default, and so once we have set it up in the scene, we will find we may need to deal with these kind of issues. Okay, so let's step through dealing with these problems one at a time.
Let's deal with the simplest first: this problem of the V-Ray light is showing up in the scene. If we just scroll down in our V-Ray Light's options, in its controls, we come to this Options rollout, and in here, we have this Invisible option. Just something to be aware of; if we were working with the Double Sided option checked, in other words, if we were emitting light from both sides of our V-Ray rectangular light, then rather than a black square in the scene, in the render, we would be seeing a white one, so just in case you are working with that option. But this same action would take care of both problems.
We just check Invisible, and then if we come and have a look at the resulting render, you can see, we very nicely take care of that particular problem. Okay. What, then, about this problem with regard to the far side of our character's face? Really, we should be expecting this side of the face to be in complete shadow, and yet, that's not what we are seeing. Well, let's investigate the material for this, and if we just come up to the Window Menu, to the Rendering Editors, and let's open up Hypershade for ourselves, we'll just go and inspect the actual material applied to the character's head; it is this skin material here.
You can see this, if we just look in the Options, is a V-RayfastSSS2 material. And if we just, again, come down the parameters, you can see we have this Scatter radius option. Basically, this is a control that determines how far into the geometry the light source in the scene, or the illumination in the scene, will be allowed to penetrate. Now clearly, at this moment in time, as we can see from our renders, our light is just penetrating too far; it's making this side of the face look as though it is receiving illumination. Let's drop our Scatter radius value down. Let's go down quite a bit to a value of 0.35, and again, if we examine the resulting render from that, you can see we now have a more expected result. Not necessarily more pleasing at this moment in time, but it is how we would expect things to be with the lighting setup that we are using.
Of course, we also have this blowout problem that we need to deal with; this burnout on our character's face. As we say, very unflattering at this moment in time. There are a couple of options for dealing with this; a couple of ways that we could tackle this problem in V-Ray. Now, I am just going to pull up my Outliner window again. I just want to select our V-Ray light, so we are working with its options. We could, of course, come and turn down the Intensity multiplier. That would drop the level of illumination down, and so we would decrease the burnout on our character's face. With the V-Ray light set in its default Units mode, we could also change the size; the scale of our light. Because there is a relationship between size and scale with the V-Ray light, we would then also drop down the amount of illumination, and so drop down the level of burnout that the character's face is receiving.
Instead, though, we are going to use some already familiar tools. If we just come up to our toolbar, click on the Render Settings icon, and open the Render Settings dialog for ourselves. I am just going to come in to the V-Ray tab, and I want to work, in this instance, with our Color mapping tools, where we can very quickly and very easily deal with this problem by switching over to the Intensity exponential type. Having done that, if we take a render, we would see that we very quickly, and very easily deal with that particular problem. Of course, the Intensity exponential mode is able to handle this problem very easily and very quickly, because rather than multiplying brightness values, it is only really affecting the intensity of the colors themselves, so everything is just nicely balanced out for us.
So, the final problem we want to deal with at this moment in time, of course: this nasty looking set of area shadows that we have going down at this moment in time. Again, there are a couple of ways we could handle this particular problem. With our V-Ray light controls selected, you can see, we could come down to our Sampling options, and work with our subdivisions value. Increasing this would definitely increase the quality of our shadows. In fact, let's do that. So let's go from a subdivision value of 8, which essentially is giving us 64 samples per pixel to create our soft shadow effect.
Let's increase that. Let's go quite drastic, and set this to a value of 64, now giving us just over 4000 samples, or rays per pixel to smooth out our area shadows, and we would go from this, to this. Now, while this is obviously a more desirable end result, with regard to our shadows, you can see we have drastically increased our render time. So we have gone from just 36 seconds, all the way up to 11 and a quarter minute. And really, the only aspect of our scene that we have improved are these area shadows. The rest of the scene has received no extra attention at all, well, because we've only been working with our shadow subdivisions.
Now, oftentimes just working with one single option in the scene is not necessarily the best way to tackle the problems that we are encountering. Instead, we are going to show you just a slightly different approach that we could take. It is entirely up to you which way you do this. So let's just reset our subdivisions down to a value of 8, and we are going to come, instead, back to our Render Settings window, and we are going to work with our Image Sampler, and DMC Sampler controls to just demonstrate to you a different approach to dealing with this problem. So, if we come into our Image sampler controls, we just want to make a change to our minimum and maximum subdivisions.
So we are going to set our minimum subdivs to a value of 3, and let's, again, really set a high value in our maximum option here, and we are going to put 64 samples in there, or 64 subdivisions, rather I should say. Now we want to come to our Settings tab, because we want to just tweak our DMC Sampler controls. We are going to make these very, very sensitive to the noise levels found in the scene. I am going to set this to a value of 0.002. With those changes made, again, let's examine the resulting render that we would get, and we would go from this, to this, which as you can see, gives us a very, very comparable result with regard to our soft shadows.
Again, if I just go backward and forward between those, you can see maybe just a tiny little bit more grain in this version. But you will notice that we have completely smoothed out our character's head. This very noisy area of the scene has received a lot of attention, and looks a lot smoother; a lot nicer. We have increased our tender times again, just a little bit. We have added a couple of minutes on to the render time, but in this instance, we have affected the quality of the entire render; not just the shadows in the scene. So that may be an approach that you wish to take.
So, up to this point, we have improved things a little bit, but obviously we still need to run through creating V-Ray lights for ourselves. We need to understand how we add those to the scene. We do need to add some fill light for our character. At this moment in time, we've got some very contrasting lighting going on. And well, let's move on to doing just those things in our very next video.

[Verse 1]
Be careful making wishes in the dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
Besides in the meantime I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart
I'm in the details with the devil
So now the world can never get me on my level
I just got to get you out of the cage
I'm a young lovers rage
Gonna need a spark to ignite
After a four year hiatus, Fall Out Boy returns. The song is about, what else?, their return to music and starting with a clean slate. A burned slate.
This is the first single off their fifth album, Save Rock and Roll.

When I went online to the website to start voting for my kid (after I had rallied hundreds who were going to vote for her as well), her picture wasn't! I was told that for some reason some of the photos had not been properly submitted and that a different manager would call me back about it. I called several times, the manager just happened to never be working or he kept saying he would call me back. Needless to say, never got a call back, and my daughter s photo was never included in the contest, with no apology or anything! I let it go, b/c I know she would have won anyway, her picture was fabulous.
Anyway, so then I never got the call to come pick her pictures up, after I d paid for them. Gave them a call and guess what...they have lost her pictures! Again, I m waiting for Hank, the manager, to call me back everyday- who again, just happens to not be working every time I call. The most unorganized mess ever, and then they have the nerve to have packages that cost over a thousand dollars!

It's been five months since the Meridian high school basketball team ended their season with a loss to Gulfport, but the Wildcats haven't stopped playing.
Assistant coach Tony Tadlock says every Thursday throughout the summer, the wildcats competed in the Jackson Metro summer league.
In addition to playing three games during each Thursday trip, Meridian also also won the team camp at Mississippi College in Clinton. As a reward for their hard work, the team celebrated at the home of Meridian teacher Edward Abdella.
In a party that included food, family and some swimming, the team also got a visit from Meridian Mayor Percy Bland.
"The community expects big things out of the student-athletes and coaches," says Bland. "We just want them to have a great year and go back to the big house and take it all if they can.
"It starts with what they do in the classroom... and it starts with having that winning attitude."

Webpro: how observant:() haha!! I noticed the same routine......... guess harley rides dont qualify as crosstraining LOL!
Trail runner
Good luck on getting under 2:00 - that's my goal for this year as well.
Ran to the beach today - chose a distance just under 10 mi. Running by heart rate, so estimated an average pace of 7:30 / km. (12:04 min / mi)
Stuck to that 80-85% of MHR for the first 6 miles or so. By that time. I had climbed the last hill and felt so good that I decided to ignore the HR for the rest of the run. Felt like a million bucks ($US).
Ended up with an average pace of 7:20 min / km (11:48 min / mi).
Sure, I gotta keep my heart rate in the aerobic zone, but it felt great to let fly for a bit today. Running across the finish feeling so strong is one of the real high points in a Runner's experience, don't you think?
Our summertime beach runs are a great experience. We have folks starting anywhere from 6 miles from the beach to 26.2 mi. Participants are encouraged to time their finish at the same time. It's great standing at the end, cheering on your friends. You get to handicap yourself (by the way you choose your start time), so there's no telling who "wins". Everyone there is a runner who succeeds. We cheer one another on, take off our shoes and stand in Lake Erie for a while, then go to a local open air restaurant for a great meal and a beer or two.
Not sure, but I estimate there were about 150 or so today. It's organized by one of the local running shops, water stations with water, eLoad, candy, pretzels, etc. every 3 miles or so.
Had a great morning. I should be outside in the garden right now, but sitting in front of the TV watching the ball game is alright too!
Az1414 my longest scheduled run prior to taper is 27 miles . I have two prior 21 miles Aug 12th, 24 miles Aug 16th. Wow this training is going way to fast. I'm not ready yet!!!!
Rob. I also am hoping to break thru that 2 hour barrier in December. I almost had in in Disney thru mile 10 and blew it.

Rob-That sounds like a great run-it fit's lots of levels of runner skill and a great way to finish!
Tony- you really did the job on the heat/humidity. Nice job!
I did my long run yesterday at the lake again, taking advantage of more shade than I ever have near home. Total 16.1 in 3:30, using 1:1 walk/run ratio the entire way except the long hill at the end of the run, when I switched to 30/30. Tried Gu gel and chomp blocks which worked well. 10 minutes in the lake to cool off, then a Big Louie before heading home and 20 minutes in a cold water bath. Legs feel pretty good today.
Have a great week, run strong and safe!

Rob - thanks for the conversion. No need to continue for my sake. I've got the picture ($1M) :D
All this training is going to pay off big in Columbus! I can't wait. Heard it's quite a party. I'd love to meet for a beer or drink! Still don't have a room reservation.:-/ I am particularly worried about finding enough time to train. Your training has progressed really far for a race in Oct. soon it will all be gravy. You will burn this one up if you keep going at this rate.
Tony - Amazing distances and commitment! You really want this! You are doing great and your race is in October. You'll be fine.
Dan- very impressed with the big miles from you! are you training for a long race?
Well did 3+ today in 40-45 min. Three gps program and all different. They all agree my run portions were much faster and I'm pleased about that. I pooped out and walked after 17 min but it's ok. I've lost a bit of weight and haven't been able to eat. Eating has become so painful I've resorted to Hammer gel and Recoverite as sustenance. Wondering if this is normal. Anyway, started with a gel and body told me it was gone after 40 min. Good to know.
Good runs to you all!

I may be slow but I'm persistant.
Goals: 5k under 30 min.; HM under 2 hr.; AG award in the USAF HM! and one full marathon.
It won't be easy but it will be worth it!
I'm going to have to do some catching up here! Chris and I went camping at Beaver's Bend State Park, Broken Bow, OK. It's a beqautiful place and if you live near I would suggest it! Looks like Colorado without the altitude!
Lots of steep hills for running and cycling! I got the bike up to 32.2 mph! Woooo hooo! Did two days of 7 mile runs 1:10 and 1:07. The humidity was killer in this heat! I did a 1 hour swim in the lake and have deduced that my hyperventilation is not from fear of open water. Looks like it's race nerves. I have a sprint tri on Saturday. Than a 100K bike race on the 18th and the Hotter Than Hell 100 on the 25th (I'm only doing 50 miles)
Mary Kay~ So very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how hard this is. My Mom is very proud of my running and comes to some of my races. She's 74 and has even jogged a bit on her walks lately. I'm proud of her too.
I'll have to go back and do a lot of reading to catch up here!
I hope everyone is being careful in this heat.
You all inspire me sooo much!!!!
Hi Mary? Mary Kay?
So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing.
Just kinda reading the posts and trying to get to know you all.
Years back I had anemia, not the same, but really threw me for a loop. After it was diagnosed
I was able to recover very quickly and got back to untired running.
Tomorrow I will hit the running path for a 4.5 mile run, then take my bird for a
1.5 mile walk in our neighborhood.
Trying to keep up to the 10,000 steps a day program and I can do that
with ease on my running days. I just use a step pedometer for that count.
Met up with a gal on the trail Fri. She was visiting from Chicago and intended to do
the Chi Marathon, her 8th. First time I have run with another person in years.
She was 11 years my junior, but I was able to keep her pace-which surprised me
to no end. We did 4.2 miles together, then she continued on to complete her 13 mile training day.
Something different for me.
Stay healthy and keep on running/Janet-Henderson, Nv.
Good day Mighty Masters! Special shout out to Dance Fever and Flakijak girl.....I just misspelled that I know....so sorry. Welcome to our group!
I'm sitting here watching a bit of the olynpics & it has women's kijak....still not spelling right.
Loving the olympics! After lunch break, will have to get back to work!
Enjoyed reading everyone's reports on their long runs.
My entire lower body is sore from the 9 mi trail run! It is a good sore. I walked 3 mi yesterday, thinking that would work it out. Ha! So today was a nice, slow, continuous recovery run of 4 miles. Interesting to note that my midweek runs, regardless of whether it is a 3:1, 2:1 run:walk or slow continuous runs, turn out to be about the same overall pace.
This is today's breakdown of pace per mile.Mile, Time, distance, Avg Pace....overall avg pace 10:42. Strange that my perceived rate of exertion and pace was even through out. Other than the old body getting warmed up, how does one justify or explain this speed up?
Happy Running everyone!

It's been WAY too long since I've posted. Although I have been keeping up with reading, by the time I'm caught up, I'm out of time to respond. But, I get so much inspiration and information from everyone that it's not fair to contribute, so I'll try to consolidate a quick catch-up. Before that, condolences on those who have lost loved ones or dealing with family members' illnesses or illnesses/injuries of your own.
I have completed 8 weeks of the "official" marathon training, and have 10 more to go until Chicago on 10/7. So far (knock wood) injury free. As others have mentioned, it's quite a challenge to train 6 days/wk and keep a full time job and a household running. The training is definitely my main focus for now; at least I know it's temporary and I will have more free time come mid-October. What motivates me? It's the fact that I put my (registration and travel) money on the line and committed to a specific race. There's no way I want to show up and not finish because I "cheated" on myself! Although I have slacked off from time to time on the cross training and/or strength & core training, I have run every single mile that I was scheduled to so far. I'm not sure how many miles it is total, but our team leader said it was time for a new pair of shoes, so I got them today, YAY!
I've been running in hot, humid MI either early mornings (weekends) or later (8-ish) on weeknights after work. When it's been scary-hot, I've sucked it up and stayed inside on my dreadmill. I've noticed that my conditioning for running in the heat has definitely improved, This past Sat. I ran a half-marathon, just by myself in my neighborhood. The training schedule said to do 13 miles and our team leader suggested we just add the .1 and make it a half-marathon. At the end it was hard to imagine that being the half-way point for a full marathon. But, I also remembered starting out my training running 3 miles and being scared to think about 6 miles. Although I don't keep track of my pace or time precisely, I figured it took roughly 2:35. That may be on the slow side, but when done I feel good (some stomach upset but no muscle soreness), and the next day I'm good to go again. I've been doing run/walk at the ratio of 2 min. run and 1 min walk. I started off great with my fund-raising, collecting just over half of my goal right away. Then, I slacked off, and now I realize that I have just a little over 2 months to get the remainder - time to step it up!
Does anybody use/recommend a self-massage device called The Stick, aka Tiger's Tail? A fellow runner highly recommended it and I picked one up today with my new shoes, since the store was generously offering a 20% discount for everything for my team's members. I have/LOVE a foam roller, but I'm thinking The Stick might work for some areas that are hard to get to on the floor with the foam roller.

@Sue, great to hear from you again! It looks like your training is going well. Don't think of those additional 13 .1 miles you will need to go. Just think about the mile or two you gradually add to your long runs. Eat the elephant one bite at a time.....
I've been wiped out since my 20 mile run a few weeks ago. I realized that three days after the run I traveled 6,000 miles, seven time zones, and entered a climate twenty degrees warmer, but I've just been sore and felt run down. My longest run in the last two weeks was six miles on Saturday. I felt fine during the run but later in the day and the following day there were the little aches and pains in the hips and legs. I'm just going to take it easy during my midweek runs and get my body and MIND ready for 23 miles on Satyrday. I'll have to get an early start, put my head down, and just get it done. If the 23 miles wipe me out again, I'm going to have to reassess my training plan. There's no sense getting injured at this point and that's what happens when the body runs tired. Part of my problem may stem from he fact that I did no strength work while away for three weeks. Getting back into the gym has been tough!
Time to get back to swimming finals! Go USA!
Marie, it looks to me like you were in a groove and just feeling good? It looks like a really strong run!
Joni, sounds like you are enjoying yourself, also.
Good job, Janet! Your bird walks with you? On your shoulder?
Sue, you are goin to kill that marathon! You've run every mile do far. Trust in your training if you can't trust yourself.
Urun, so sad to hear you are not feeling 100%! You've been moving forward so consistently. Isn't that the way it seems to go, though? Good luck with your long run!! I'm hoping you just have prolonged jet lag.
Coaching a group for a local run shop beginners program so did 2 mi. In 30 min and that included 10 min walking warmup/cool down. Run pace 12:34. Good for newbies and for me. Doing this 2x wk with HM training. At least that's the plan. Tomorrow speed work with the pros. They'll keep me humble. worried because I can't eat anything but fruit and potatoes.

It won't be easy but it will be worth it!
Hi everyone! I've been reading for 2-3 weeks and really appreciate the inspiration and motivation! I turned 50 last year and wanted to get healthy and lose weight. I started walking the dog around the block last August in the Houston 100+ temps and before I knew it, I was walking 30-45 min. Then I thought, OK, I'll run to the stop sign, etc. until 3 months later, I was walking about 3 miles in 50 min (yep...slow) and jogging a little. In June, my 20 year old daughter and her friends talked me into doing a half marathon with them (well some are doing the marathon) in College Station. 7 weeks ago, a co worker told me about c25k and it's worked amazingly. I can't believe that I can actually jog 28 minutes. In addition to my c25k, I have been walking and running for 30 more minutes to try to burn more calories and get my mileage up a bit. I did 6.6 miles on Sat., running about 2/3 of it. Of course, I am VERY slow. My pace is only about 14:45 mm...but I"m short. LOL!!
I love reading about what everyone's doing and can't believe that I'm a runner now. I played softball in HS, but I was never a runner. I was terrified about running 6.6 mi on Sat., but feel very empowered that I actually did it. I'm trying to stick with a 4 mi. run on Mon., a 5 mi. on Wed., and trying to stick with 6-7 on Sat. till I get comfortable with this...or till it gets cooler. LOL!!! It's really hot and I'm not a morning person. I hate the treadmill and it seems like I just can't go very far on it without giving out and usually end up running in a park (there is some shade) at 5:30 in the evening. Also, I've lost 33 lbs since last Aug. and have about 20 left to go. I may not post a lot, but really love reading here.
Welcome Melissa and thanks for sharing your journey! You've progressed well in a short time. Good job! When is your HM? Keep us posted.
94 degrees, 3.5 mi. in 42 min. and it didn't feel all that hard. I'm coming baack!
Run strong and fierce!

suzeecat i like you am also training for Chicago. I have been using the Marathon stick for about a year. I think I paid around 30.00 for it at an expo. On Sunday i did a 19 mile training run. i used the stick over my recovery socks . I believe it really helps speed recovery by increasing blood flow. After some runs not sure what I would do without it. I would suggest you give it a try. I think you had a very good run on Saturday. Remember your long runs are suppose to be slower than you Marathon pace. Livining and training in FL. I purposely run mine 60 - 90 seconds slower than my expected MP. Welcome to a great thread. Keep posting about your progress. See you in Chicago!!!!!!
Melissa WELCOME. great post. Urun2me said it perfectly a few post ahead of yours. You eat the elephant one bite at a time. Don't worry about your time. As your endurance builds your speed increases on it's own. It's time on your feet that matters now. long slow runs build endurance and melt fat away. Enjoy all those little wins you have on your runs. You'll also have bad runs. But that what makes the good ones great. When i started running 2 years ago i also ran (walked) 14mm. But after losing 40+pounds and reaching my goal weight strange things started to happen. I'm not short I'm 6ft LOL Your well on your way.

Hello Mary & all,
Responding about my little bird. She is just under 1 oz, not much bigger than a hummingbird.
She was badly clipped as a baby and her wing feathers have not completely molted out-so
I can safely take her in my hand as I walk. I try to do 10,000steps a day between running,
walking and aerobic excercise classes. Sorry to say , my dancing has taken a back seat
as I have beefed up my running schedule.
Tomorrow I hope to do 6 miles, very early starting at 6am on the running/bike path.
I had streams to jump over/run through, yesterday, as the low spots on the trail were flooded from an overnight rain.
Moonsoon season is July/Aug so we see unusual weather patterns. Thankful that
it does bring us much needed rain.
Good luck to any of you doing races this weekend.
Guess we all go out Sat for longer runs to stay with our training plans.
regards/janet-Henderson, nv.

When Trevor Bayne crossed the finish line in the world famous No. 21 Wood Brothers, it was vindication for Jeff Gordon in a way. Gordon would rather have been crossing the finish line in first with his newest protege Bayne in tow, but he was happy for the 20-year-old as he congratulated him in victory lane.
Gordon will celebrate his 40th birthday in six months, but he made an immediate connection with the Trevor Bayne, who at the time of the Gatorade Duel 150 on Thursday was 19 years old. Gordon asked the young driver to wait for him after driver introductions.
Bayne said later of the encounter with Gordon, "I remember thinking how cool this was that Jeff Gordon wanted to talk to me. He was my boyhood idol growing up and now he wanted to talk strategy before the race."
Bayne told the Knoxvile News Sentinel, "That's awesome for him to have that kind of faith in me to let me work with him. That takes a lot for these guys when they have 20 other guys they've been racing with their whole lives to say 'Hey, I'm going to take a chance with this kid and let him push me and see where we can get to.'"
Gordon and Bayne ended up wadded in a wreck at the end of the Gatorade Duel, but the lessons Bayne and Gordon learned in that race carried over to his NASCAR Nationwide race and the Daytona 500 Sunday.
Bayne listed Gordon among the many drivers, owners and sponsors he thanked for making it to Victory Lane, and Gordon was one of the many drivers that made their way to Trevor Bayne to shake his hand and congratulate him.
Which Cup Driver Can End Jimmie Johnson's Reign?
Trevor Bayne is not the first young driver Jeff Gordon has latched onto early and helped. Jimmie Johnson was discovered by Jeff Gordon before he ever won a NASCAR Nationwide race, and he was instrumental in placing Johnson into the No. 48 Lowe's NASCAR Sprint Cup Car that Gordon co-owns with Rick Hendrick.
Gordon's day ended in a 14-car pile up started by David Reutimann and Michael Waltrip, and he was not happy with the behavior of his fellow NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers.
Gordon told ESPN after the race, "I totally get the two-car draft. What I don't understand is why they are doing it three-wide for 28th. They need to let it thin out a little bit and be more harm-free instead of pushing and shoving up the middle and down the back straightaway. What are they doing?"

Think tank: Arizona's education funding cuts third-deepest in nation
PHOENIX — Only Oklahoma and Alabama made deeper percentage cuts to K-12 education funding than Arizona during the economic downturn, according to a Washington-based think tank.
A recent report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which describes itself as nonpartisan but is generally regarded as liberal, said Arizona reduced per-student funding by 17.2 percent from fiscal 2008 through fiscal 2014 when adjusted for inflation.
Last year, the center ranked Arizona as having the nation's deepest cuts education funding, an inflation-adjusted drop of 21.8 percent from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2013.
"It's been a disaster, the cuts in education," said state Rep. Eric Meyer, D-Scottsdale, who served on the Scottsdale School Unified District's governing board for eight years.
Meyer said the state keeps cutting education funding while requiring schools to do more, such as implement the Common Core State Standards and the technology requirements that come with them.
"We cut the funding for soft capital, which is one of the things that could be used to buy supplies that used to buy new books and computers so that we could implement the Common Core," Meyer said.
Arizona was near the bottom for per-pupil education spending in 2011, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report released in May that said the state spent an average of $7,666 per student. The national average was $10,560.
Jonathan Butcher, education director at the Goldwater Institute, an independent watchdog group that promotes limited government and free enterprise, said cuts during the recession are understandable given that education funding accounts for nearly half of the state's general fund expenditures.
"When you have a state that goes through a financial downturn, where else can they go to make ends meet?" he said.
Despite the cuts, Arizona still spent a lot of money on education, Butcher said, adding that he doesn't accept the notion that simply spending more would improve the quality of education.
"There are a lot of cost-effective ways to educate students that are cheaper and make the better use of the resources we have," he said.
Tim Hogan, executive director of the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest, said citing the recession is a bad excuse for cutting education funding.
"The economy was horrible during that period of time, but the Legislature's bad attitude toward public schools started a long time ago," he said.
Debra Duvall, executive director of the group Arizona School Administrators, said that while the cuts have hurt, schools have worked to maintain the performance of students.
"Our students' achievement is well above third bottom of all the states," she said. "Our schools and teachers and school districts are doing a lot with the few dollars that they receive."

Skip to comments.Newt Gingrich Utah Check Bounces
Posted on 04/10/2012 4:22:56 PM PDT by Mountain Bike Vomit Carnage
Former House speaker Newt Gingrich might not be on the ballot for the June 26 Utah primary, because his check for the $500 filing fee bounced. If the fee isnt paid by April 20, he will be disqualified.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
This election is turning into a cluster of comic proportions.
That has to be so embarrassing!
Here I am, trying to 'get behind Newt' and now this.
And he wants to be in charge of the economy. Well, it is said that he and Callista are running things. LOL
And he wants to be in charge of the economy. Well, it is said that he and Callista are running things. LOL
Only $500 to get on the ballot, sweet...
I doubt he ever had much of a chance in Utah anyway.
Conservatives will have to do better than settling on an old fool like Newt. He and Callista aren't too wise.
He has no way of winning anything. Geesh
"And he wants to be in charge of the economy"
What's $500 compared to 1.5 trillion a year?
On spork me berry mulch!
What is this? Comedy Central?
Newt is not doing himself any favors.
I'm glad to see my donations were put to such good use.
It doesn't matter, in fact, if you are unable to manage a 500 buck payment without a rubber check, a person should be embarrassed to call themself a conservative.
If a person does not have the money to write a check, you do not write a check. Easy, right?
choices, sigh
Bunch of weird cultists out there
And I was hoping to vote for him in ca. Do his tiffanys payments ever bounce?
I suggest Newt save the money. He ain't competitive in Utah. Now if had had his three wives at the same time, he could have been the man to beat.
And at the end of the day, Rick is out— and now it's down to Newt or Mitt.
The smartest "what" in the room?
Most overrated politician in GOP history.
A lesson in economics no matter how large or small.
Who do you like? Romney?
Maybe he shoulda spent his $500 trying to get on the ballot in Virginia.
Not a biggie. Romney is like 0bama. Big Rev. Wright and Van Jones fan. Hates white Christians and loves the Muslim Brotherhood. I'm sitting this one out.
Col. Sanders of KFC went bankrupt before he became famous.
He could always Pawn some of those Diamonds he purchased at Tiffanys. In fact, he could show up at "Pawn Stars" Pawn shop.
The producers would love to film him pawning his Tiffany Diamonds.
It's a double win for Gingrich:
He gets money to get on the Utah ballot by pawning his Tiffany diamonds and he gets FREE publicity from being on
the pawn stars TV show.
It doesn't matter anyway, Utah will go 90%+ for Romney. Its a Mormon thing.
Bunch of weird cultists out there
- - - - -
Utah...God's country...Hell's idiots.
Mr. Speaker, keep up the fight sir.
Sorry - its just the way it is.
What are you talking about?
Join Santorum Delegates for Newt Gingrich
You can cross a line through his name if that makes you happy— but Newt is still in.
Sorry, that's just the way it is.
I think I'll just hide under the bed.
I;m talking about a solution for Newt to drum up the $500
he needs to get on the Utah ballot. Plus get free publicity
for being on the "Pawn Stars" TV show.
I'm sure u have heard of the show. It's called "Pawn Stars"
It's TV show about a Pawn Shop in Vegas.
But he hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire, has he.
You're correct.
As a matter of fact Newt did poorly in the south vs a couple of yankees.
Amazing. Out come the knives for Newt from our friendly Romneybots.
I'm no fan of Romney.
But it's a hard fact that Newt performed poorly across the south.
Third place finishes in Ok and Tn, and losses to Santorum in Al and Ms.
Im no fan of Romney.
But its a hard fact that Newt performed poorly across the south.

That was then. This is now. Santorum is out. Dynamics could change in an instant.
Why bother...96 percent of lds won't consider a nonmormon candidate...for religious reasons...and will vote for romney

Find over 200 print-friendly fact sheets about heart disease and related health topics.
Experts were disappointed to hear that niacin does more harm than good in patients with high cholesterol according to findings presented for the first time at the American College of Cardiology's 62nd Annual Scientific Session. Niacin, an important B vitamin, is commonly used in high doses to help reduce risk for heart attack and stroke by lowering "bad" cholesterol and raising "good" cholesterol. But according to a four-year study known as the HPS2-THRIVE Study (Heart Protection Study 2 – Treatment of HDL to Reduce the Incidence of Vascular Events), high doses of niacin can cause serious side effects and complications.
With nearly 25,700 patients at risk for heart disease, the HPS2-THRIVE Study was the largest of its kind to study the effects of niacin in reducing cardiovascular risk. Over the course of four years, some study participants were prescribed a drug containing a high-dose of niacin and laropiprant, a compound that reduces facial flushing—a common side effect associated with taking niacin. Others were prescribed a placebo containing no active medication, so that researchers could compare outcomes between the two groups. After tracking patients for years, researchers found that the niacin/laropiprant treatment was not effective in reducing risk for heart attack and stroke. In addition, this treatment caused a number of serious complications, such as bleeding, infections, diabetes, skin issues, and gastrointestinal problems.
The implications of these findings are enormous. Merck, a pharmaceutical company that spent years developing the niacin/laropiprant combo, will no longer seek FDA approval for the drug. And although the drug was already approved in 70 countries, it has been taken off the market as a result of this study.
Despite their disappointment, researchers are grateful for the knowledge gained from this study. For years, experts have believed that niacin can help prevent heart attack or stroke, but it turns out that the side effects far outweigh the expected benefits. And experts believe discovering that a therapy is ineffective or even harmful as just as important as finding benefits.
Based on the findings of the HPS2-THRIVE Study, patients currently taking niacin to prevent heart disease should consider talking with their health care providers to determine whether they should continue taking this therapy. Also, it's important to note that niacin doses used in this study were about 100 times higher than the amount recommended as part of our daily intake. In normal amounts, niacin is still an important vitamin needed by the body for digestive, skin and nerve functions.
Experts offer strategies for easing muscle pain sometimes associated with statin use.
This program provides educational and peer-support resources on managing and preventing high cholesterol for patients and caregivers.

Gonarezhou Bush Camp is a mobile tented camp, which is operated on an exclusive booking basis and requires a minimum group of four adults for a minimum stay of four nights.
Our aim is not to provide a luxury hotel in the bush, but a comfortable, private retreat from which to appreciate the true wilderness qualities of Gonarezhou which is one of the park's greatest attractions.
Owing to the camp being booked on an exclusive basis means you will have the entire camp to your group, allowing for all activities, meals and day-to-day plans to be dictated by yourselves rather than fitting into a rigid routine. Being lightweight and mobile in nature means one has to forgo some of the luxuries of a permanent safari camp, however, that said this does not mean that our camping style is basic by any means.
Attention to detail ensures your comforts are adequately taken care of and none of the important necessities have been overlooked – comfortable beds, hot showers and clean ablution facilities, freshly prepared wholesome meals and a good selection of hot and cold beverages are all provided.
The camp can sleep a maximum of ten guests, in five 3 x 3 metre canvas dome tents. Each tent has two regular size single beds fitted with cotton sheets, duvets and throw pillows, a bedside table and outside a little front veranda with two chairs and a hand washbasin. A short distance behind each tent is separate shower and short-drop loo tent.
We provide LED lighting in the tents and at night hurricane lamps illuminate the pathways between the tents and the main mess area.
The main mess area is a large open sided tent where most meals are served unless we are having a bush-breakfast or picnic. In the early evening, after drinks and snacks have been enjoyed around the fire, dinner is taken by candlelight in the mess or out under the stars.

I thought Swift or National Freight had Monroe Township? At least they did when I was hauling box. They have their own fleet now?

No worries leh im working down the road from them now making more money anyway. You can take your 8 hour shifts with zero overtime
Costco seems like a good job. I have a coworker who applied over in Monroe Township, NJ, and from what I heard, it's nothing but drop and hook, and top rate is going up to $25.50, but you start off at $18. Mostly night runs and you work about 8-10 hours a day. Sounds like an sweet job.

Costco out of Jersey is or at least was contacted out. Swift had a turn. Cowan had a turn. Even JB HUNT. If that is the case still, you would be working for JB HUNT or the like till they lose the contact and the next company takes over.
Costco out of Monroe Township has their own fleet. I see their trucks on the turnpike all the time. I think 90% of their loads are contracted and the rest are done by their own fleet. Costco seems to treat their employees real good. Their wage for all their employees is much higher than what Walmart pays.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
