Tour The Fancy Developments Going Up Over The Newest Part Of The High Line
http://245tenthave.comThe newest section of Manhattan's elevated park, the High Line, is slated to open next month, just in time for the warm weather.
The park, which partially opened in 2009, has been a dream for developers, who have bought up tons of nearby lots and started construction on fancy new buildings in hopes of capitalizing on the meatpacking district's newly revitalized reputation.
The Wall Street Journal took a look at some of the more ambitious new projects near the less developed, soon-to-open section of the park, which stretches from 20th to 30th streets.
They include a 111-unit luxury rental building by Sam Zell's Equity Residential, an ultra-modern condo dubbed +Art, and a glass-plated boutique hotel.

Small Stone of the Week - Nov 11 - 17
Sunday, November 11, 2012
It's been way WAY too long.
I am sick and tired of not liking what I see in the mirror. I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.
I made this journey once before. Funny thing is, it didn't seem too difficult. Calories In - Calories Out = Calorie Balance. Need to burn about 3,500 calories to loose 1lb.
Easy enough right? Move more increases Calories Out. Eat healthier lowers Calories in, and helps with having the right fuel to move more.
So why can't I seem to just do it?
I have no idea. I wonder if there is a part of me that thinks it should be easy. If I put in a little effort, I should see big results. Well, I KNOW that part of me is wrong. You only get out of it what you put in. If you put in a half assed effort, I will not see the results I want to see.
I also know it's not an all-or-nothing effort. If I make it all or nothing, I'm setting myself up for failure.
So Rather than "shoulding" on myself, I'm going to take steps in the right direction. All that matters, is doing better than I did yesterday.
Yesterday, I tracked nothing, didn't go anywhere, didn't even think about water.
This week I plan to:
Track everything I eat
Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
It's a start. It'll let me know where I'm starting from.
I also know there is an emotional reason I put the weight on again. I will need to do what I need to do to deal with this aspect as well. I might as well start with my mindfulness exercises again. It'll help keep me aware of what's going on around me, and how I'm feeling.

This is getting so frustrating. Already I am "shoulding" on myself again.
Look at those calories already today. You should watch that closer. You know this.
Put that coffee away and have a water. What is wrong with you?
No wonder I get so discouraged so fast. I need to change they way I talk to myself.
This week I decided to TRACK everything and DRINK 8 glasses of water. That's all. Not to B!tch at myself for enjoying a nice Sunday Breakfast. I didn't go overboard with anything, so CUT IT OUT!!!

We all have those 'good' days and 'bad' days. I think any day that you're aware of what is happening is a 'good' day.
I too need to lose weight for health reasons... it's not easy, but...

One thing that helped me is not focusing on weight loss but on healthy lifestyle - what and how much I eat, and becoming more active. I had been very sedentary, NEVER was athletic - but I am more active now in this decade than ever I was! And tracking everything you eat is DEFINITELY a great idea! I suggest you also track the nutrients in those calories. It is so hard to keep the sodium and cholesterol down, but it helps to be able to track it! May God bless and help you on this journey to good health!

From KURT VONNEGUT (2005)
[Oh, how we miss this guy… -DS]
"Do unto others what you would have them do unto you." A lot of people think Jesus said that, because it is so much the sort of thing Jesus liked to say. But it was actually said by Confucius, a Chinese philosopher, five hundred years before there was that greatest and most humane of human beings, named Jesus Christ.
The Chinese also gave us, via Marco Polo, pasta and the formula for gunpowder. The Chinese were so dumb they only used gunpowder for fireworks. And everybody was so dumb back then that nobody in either hemisphere even knew that there was another one.
We've sure come a long way since then. Sometimes I wish we hadn't. I hate H-bombs and the Jerry Springer Show
But back to people like Confucius and Jesus and my son the doctor, Mark, each of whom have said in their own way how we could behave more humanely and maybe make the world a less painful place. One of my favorite humans is Eugene Debs, from Terre Haute in my native state of Indiana.
Get a load of this. Eugene Debs, who died back in 1926, when I was not yet four, ran five times as the Socialist party candidate for president, winning 900,000 votes, almost 6 percent of the popular vote, in 1912, if you can imagine such a ballot. He had this to say while campaigning:
"As long as there is a lower class, I am in it.
"As long as there is a criminal element, I am of it.
"As long as there is a soul in prison, I am not free."
Doesn't anything socialistic make you want to throw up? Like great public schools, or health insurance for all?
When you get out of bed each morning, with the roosters crowing, wouldn't you like to say. "As long as there is a lower class, I am in it. As long as there is a criminal element, I am of it. As long as there is a soul in prison, I am not free."
How about Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes?
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

When you immerse an object like a rubber ducky in water, the object experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the water it displaced. This rule is called Archimedes' principle. Basically, this implies that objects less dense than water will float, while objects that are more dense than water will sink. You can apply Archimedes' principle and some simple math to solving many different kinds of density and buoyancy problems.
Things You'll Need
- Pencil
- Paper
- Calculator
Determine the density of the fluid in which the object is submerged. Typically, this information will be given to you in the problem unless the fluid is water, in which case it has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter at room temperature.
Determine the dimensions of the object and use these to set up an equation for its volume.
For example, suppose you are given the following problem: a flat-bottomed, rectangular barge is floating in the water. It weighs 500 kilograms when empty; it is 10 meters long, 5 meters wide and 2 meters high from bottom to gunwale. How much cargo could you add to the boat before the water level rose above the gunwale? (Assume the water has the same density as pure water.)
The first thing you will notice is that the barge is rectangular -- consequently, its volume must be length x width x height. The volume of the submerged portion will, therefore, be length x width x height submerged also. This can be abbreviated submerged volume = LWH, where H is height.
Multiply the density of the fluid by the volume of the submerged part of the object to find the mass of water displaced, then multiply the mass of water displaced by 9.81 m/s^2, the standard gravity.
Example continued: you know the submerged volume is as follows: Vs = LWH,
therefore, multiply this by the density of water. The density of water is roughly 1 gram per cubic centimeter. There are 100^3 cubic centimeters in a cubic meter, so the density of water is 100^3 grams per cubic meter or (100^3)/1000 kg per cubic meter = 1000 kg per cubic meter. The new equation, then, is as follows: mass of water displaced = LWH x 1000 kg/m^3; and weight of water displaced = LWH x 1000 kg/m^3 x 9.81 m/s^2.
Solve for any unknowns in your equation.
Example continued: in this example, you want to find out what the buoyant force will be when the height of the submerged part of the boat equals the boat's height. To do so, you plug L, W and H into the equation you found earlier, as follows: weight of water displaced = (10 m) x (5 m) x (2 m) x (1000 kg/m^3) x (9.81 m/s^2) = 981000 Newtons.
You now know that the mass of the boat at this point will be equal to this weight divided by the standard gravity constant, 9.81 m/s^2, so if 981000 N is divided by 9.81 m/s^2, you obtain the following: mass = 100,000 kg.
This is the maximum mass of the boat before its gunwale will be underwater. The boat has a mass of 500 kg when empty, so the maximum mass of the cargo will be 100,000 - 500 = 99,500 kilograms.
Remember two useful equations that you used to solve this problem. You can use these equations to solve other problems like this as well: weight of an object or displaced fluid = mass x 9.81 m/s^2; and buoyant force on object = weight of water it displaced = volume of water displaced x density of water = volume of object submerged x density of water.
Notice that as more and more of the object becomes submerged, the buoyant force on it increases. Once the buoyant force on it equals its weight, it will cease to sink or rise and remain level. If the object always weighs more than the water it displaces, however, it will sink straight to the bottom.

Flores opened fire after Martinez and Avilez told him, "Catch you later."

Only if you are an Anaheim police officer can you defend yourself with deadly force. Everyone else goes to jail.

This hostel IS NOT AS ADVERTISED. It is in a dark and creepy alleyway. When I arrived the room hadn't even been cleaned, used bedsheets remained and a dirty towel they left hanging in the bathroom which I shared with a lovely family of wild pigeons. Very dirty, rooms are not as photographed. Staff very unhelpful.

This location was difficult to find.They did NOT have any Common Area(s) to speak of or Working WiFi.There was NO Elevator to my 4th Floor room. There was NO a/c despite what they claimed on Hostelworld.com ! There was NO "Free Breakfast" & they insisted on charging. There were three times the Electrical power went Off in the night ( once for about 20 min) between 2;30m-4:30am.The WiFi did NOT work in morning when I attempted to show the Staff their website said "FREE Breakfast.

What is included with this book?
Politicians and pundits regularly invoke the Bible in social and political debates on a host of controversial social and political issues, including: abortion, stem-cell research, gay marriage, the death penalty, separation of church and state, family values, climate change, income distribution, teaching evolution in schools, taxation, school prayer, aid for the poor, and immigration. But is the Bible often used out of context in these major debates?
This book includes essays by fourteen biblical scholars who examine the use of the Bible in political debates, uncovering the original historical contexts and meanings of the biblical verses that are commonly cited. The contributors take a non-confessional approach, rooted in non-partisan scholarship, to show how specific texts have at times been distorted in order to support particular views. At the same time, they show how the Bible can sometimes make for unsettling reading in the modern day. The key questions remain: What does the Bible really say? Should the Bible be used to form public policy?
Frances Flannery is Director at the Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Terrorism and Peace, and also Associate Professor of Religion at James Madison University, USA.
Rodney A. Werline is Professor of Religion and Philosophy at Barton College, USA.

Oscars make an effort to be inclusive
There are 2 comments on the The Miami Herald story from Feb 27, 2012, titled Oscars make an effort to be inclusive. In it, The Miami Herald reports that:
With open arms, the Oscars welcomed diversity back to its ceremony, but the embrace turned out to be more awkward than warm.

Diversity means lowering the standards so black people can play.
"What Doesn't Kill You"
Since: Jan 12
Makes You Stronger
#2 Feb 27, 2012
There is a general consensus among mainstream anthropologists that humans first emerged in Africa about two million years ago. Since then we have spread throughout the world, successfully adapting to widely differing conditions and to periodic cataclysmic changes in local and global climate. The many separate societies that emerged around the globe differed markedly from each other, and many of these differences persist to this day.
As well as the more obvious cultural differences that exist between peoples, such as language, dress and traditions, there are also significant variations in the way societies organize themselves, in their shared moral values, and in the ways they interact with their environment. It is debatable whether these differences are merely incidental artifacts arising from patterns of human migration or whether they represent an evolutionary trait that is key to our success as a species. By analogy with biodiversity, which is thought to be essential to the long-term survival of life on earth, it can be argued that cultural diversity may be vital for the long-term survival of humanity; and that the conservation of indigenous cultures may be as important to humankind as the conservation of species and ecosystems is to life in general.

Pocket PC (PPC)
Definition - What does Pocket PC (PPC) mean?
A Pocket PC (PPC) is a hardware design by Microsoft that is a small-sized handheld device used for computing. The earliest models used the Windows CE operating system, with later models using the Windows Mobile operating system. Despite their small size, Pocket PCs had many of the same functions and abilities of contemporary PCs.
Techopedia explains Pocket PC (PPC)
Microsoft's Pocket PCs were introduced in 2000, and over the years Microsoft evolved the Pocket PC and released a number of Windows Mobile operating system editions for these devices. The hardware was made by several different manufacturers, but they were required to meet hardware and software specifications in order to be classified as Pocket PCs, including operating system, software and user input controls. Although there were no actual size specifications, Pocket PCs were intended to be used as handheld devices.
In 2007 Microsoft changed their naming scheme for Pocket PCs — gadgets with integrated phones were called Windows Mobile Classics devices, while those with touch screens were referred to as Windows Mobile Professional devices and devices without touch screens were called Windows Mobile Standard devices.
The Pocket PC specification and Windows Mobile were discontinued in 2010 in favor of smartphones running the Windows Phone operating system.

By Lenny Bernstein
Sunday, May 2, 2010; W12
Elite distance runners tend to come in two shapes: tall and impossibly lean; and tiny wisps who seem to float over the ground, barely touching it.
The first thing I notice is that Matt Centrowitz -- coach of the American University track team, two-time Olympian, four-time national champion in the 5000-meter run -- is neither. He is a bulldog beneath his buzz cut, and broad-shouldered at perhaps 6 feet tall. He fills the tiny AU office where I have come for his help, for an intervention in my midlife running crisis. I know he can deliver. He is, by reputation, an old-school track coach -- the blunt, profane, alpha male of a highly successful athletic program. Centrowitz's athletes regularly defeat bigger, better-funded schools.
My proposition: Would he be willing to train me, a back-of-the-pack schlepper, for an upcoming marathon, to help me write about the value of coaching?
Centrowitz, 55, looks me over dubiously. At 5-11, I am 206 pounds after an autumn spent too often in my recliner, and it shows. He has no idea how committed I am. My performance, good or bad, would reflect on him. But he says exactly what I want to hear.
"The mind controls the body," he tells me in a thick Bronx accent unaltered by his years running for the University of Oregon or his career at AU. "That's the words we're going to live by." That's how his coach at New York City's famed Power Memorial High School trained him, and it is what I want him to teach me.
It is Dec. 8, and Washington's National Marathon is March 20. The 14 weeks we have are not enough for thorough training, he says. But he is confident he can help me improve my time if I dedicate myself to the task. Then I make the mistake of saying that the National Marathon is not as scenic a course as its more famous Washington cousin, the Marine Corps Marathon.
"It's 26 miles," Centrowitz barks. "... We're not gonna be concerned about scenery. You gotta be ready for war."
Got it, coach.
At some point, most recreational athletes wonder: How good could I be if I had what the pros have? My own coach. Superior physical training. Top-of-the-line equipment. Minions to pour Gatorade directly into my mouth. Of course, we know the score. The most talented athletes are reliably identified as early as middle school and channeled to elite programs where, justifiably, they receive the best of everything.
But what if the worst athletes had the best coaches? How much is performance a matter of ability, and how much can be taught? Apparently, there is no good academic research on coached vs. uncoached runners, but experts everywhere say coaching works. It works for top runners, and it works for people like me, with few fast-twitch muscle fibers in our genetic tapestries.
"In most endeavors, people have realized that professional help is the shortcut to success," says noted online running coach Greg McMillan. "When you're trying to go beyond yourself, trying to do something you haven't done before, it's nice to have a partner."
At 51, I have trained for seven marathons in five years -- with friends, with a charity, with a local running group led by two excellent coaches, with an online program. My results range from acceptable to disappointing to disastrous. My personal best, 4:33 in Chicago last October, placed me in the bottom 40 percent of the 50-to-54 age group. Perhaps this is the limit of my capabilities. But I have always felt I could do better.
For a kid who topped out athletically in rec league basketball, running is the perfect middle-age obsession. The only result that matters is beating my own previous performance. Other than the weather and terrain, most elements are within my control. When the way forward at work is murky, when my marriage hits a bump, when I can't make middle school any better for my daughter, there is always the clarity of running. It is precise, definable, measurable. It boils down to seconds and minutes and miles, and there is a finish line at the end of each race. All I need is a pair of good running shoes and a lot of willpower.
Or so I've always heard. This time, however, I've decided to improve my odds by engaging a physical trainer, a nutritionist and my own running coach.
Two hours after meeting Centrowitz, I am in a Starbucks in Chevy Chase with Helen Beven, an elite masters road racer who specializes in physical training for runners. The contrast with Centrowitz could not be more striking. Beven, 44, is friendly but mild of temperament, more reserved. She has an upper body sheathed in ropey, well-defined muscle. She looks like a runner.
She takes stock of me the same way Centrowitz did. She explains how a stronger body, from shoulders to calves, will help me run faster and delay fatigue. It is advice I've read a thousand times; I've even written it in a fitness column I do for The Washington Post. I've just never tried it myself.
I ask how tough her regimen will be. "We'll try not to hurt you," she says, "too much."
Eight days later, it is quickly evident that nothing in my years of plodding straight ahead has prepared me for Beven's assault on my weak and flabby core. The warm-up is not too taxing, but then she has me squat to the floor and leap to touch the ceiling 20 times. I run up and down a small step with weights in my hands. I drop to the floor and try to hold the plank position, a push-up pose with my weight on my forearms. Fat drops of sweat splatter on the black mat below my face, like the leading edge of a summer thunderstorm. Three times during the session, I lurch out the door into the freezing air, my head spinning, certain I am about to vomit. Beven trails me each time, making no attempt to hide her alarm. "I don't think I've ever actually made anyone throw up yet," she says as I hang over a railing outside the Sweat Shop in Kensington, where we are working out.
The next two weeks are not as bad. I am now merely lightheaded during some of the exercises. To improve my balance, Beven puts me through a series of lunges and squats, sometimes done with weights, with my feet on a half-ball, a rounded platform that forces my core muscles to engage and keep me upright. I fall off repeatedly. To boost the explosiveness in my legs, I also start lifting weights. Over the coming weeks, I will do leg presses, leg extensions and hamstring curls, along with triceps dips, bench presses and other upper-body work.
Today, for the first time, Beven feels comfortable enough to bring up the subject of my weight. "You would do better if you lost a little, well, um ...," she says in her British accent. She gestures around her own taut middle but can't bring herself to say the words.
"Fat?" I ask. "Blubber?" We both laugh. But research shows that each pound lost saves about two seconds per mile over the course of a marathon.
A week later, I am on the phone with Centrowitz, setting up our first track workout on Jan. 12. It is intimidating to be evaluated by a runner who once covered 3.1 miles in 13:12, setting a U.S. record. He still holds the New York State high school mark in the mile, at 4:02 set in 1973.
"How is the rest of your training going?" he asks.
"Really good. The physical trainer is beating the crap out of me."
"Now, listen," he says. "You're a runner. We only have 10 weeks here. I don't want you to become Hercules."
"Oh, it's not bulk. It's all core stuff."
"Yeah, but you're old and fat. I don't need you leaving all your energy in the gym."
"I hear you," I say, laughing. "I'll be careful." I decide not tell him that I'll be taking speed skating lessons that Sunday for an upcoming fitness column.
Distance running, as practiced by people such as Centrowitz in his prime, is about staving off pain. Think of an Olympic distance final as a handful of genetically blessed, superbly trained athletes who agree to stick their hands in a flame. The person who can hold out longest usually wins. In 1976, at 22, Centrowitz made the U.S. Olympic team in the 1500-meter run but was eliminated in an early heat. In 1980, he won the U.S. Olympic trials in the 5000. But the United States boycotted the Moscow Olympics, and Centrowitz never got his shot at the gold.
This morning, he stands bare-headed in the 12-degree wind chill, cloaked in a blue AU parka, stopwatch in hand as I circle the track, desperately trying to show I'm up to this task. He keeps yelling at me to slow down. The irony of this is not lost on me. I am confident Centrowitz has not seen anyone move this slowly on his track in a very long time.
He wants me to run 800 meters in 4:30, but I finish in 3:57. (A good high school runner would cover the same distance in half the time.) I don't know how he'll react until he says: That's what beginners do. They overcompensate.
Until today, I have been running on my own. Instead of mileage, the focus of most distance programs, Centrowitz measures time spent running. He wants to get my heart rate up. He has told me to run at least 40 minutes four times a week, and once for at least two hours on the weekend, to build stamina.
Track workouts are designed to increase speed and teach me to hold a pace. I have tried to do them on my own during previous programs. But it's not the same as having Centrowitz or Assistant Coach Bridget Bowers calling out my times each 400 meters. Centrowitz believes that completing a successful marathon is about finding the perfect pace and running it, with little variation, for the entire 26.2 miles. He calls it "locking on."
After a few weeks of training, I can hit my targets regularly, often within a few seconds. Centrowitz appears impressed; he says this is not an easy skill to pick up. "You're an animal," he yells. A tortoise, perhaps.
I have been hoping he would beat me up a little, wrench improvement from me the way he does with his AU athletes. But amid the pounding from Beven, I conclude to my relief that the coach is coddling me, carefully pushing the speed and distance to protect me from injury, and he does it instinctively. He notices everything -- from the way I use my arms while running to the amount of time I spend cooling down.
In coming weeks, the 800s will become miles, the miles will become two-kilometer runs. I am occasionally on the AU track for more than two hours, running more than 10 miles total.
At the seven-week midpoint of my training with Beven, I can do "traveling planks" -- a cross between a pushup and a plank -- for 60 seconds. My abdominal muscles are much stronger, and Beven has me doing sit-ups with an 10-pound medicine ball, twisting my trunk to strain my obliques.
I am now jumping on and off a foot-high weight-lifting bench, closing in on 25 leaps in 60 seconds. It is play for a child, exhausting for an adult. When Beven does it, even with an injured knee, there is absolute silence. When I land, it sounds like a safe falling out a window.
My weight remains stubbornly above 200 (which would qualify me for the "Clydesdale" category at some marathons), but my body has changed markedly. I am tighter and stronger than I've been in years, especially around my gut and hips. My wife has noticed. My children, ever watchful for an opportunity to make fun of my aging body, have nothing to say.
A week later, at the end of January, I meet with Anastasia Snelling, associate dean of AU's school of Education, Teaching and Health. I have submitted a week-long food diary, a horrifying exercise. She has conducted a detailed analysis, with calorie counts and nutritional breakdowns. Snelling is good-natured as she delivers the bad news in her office: I have to eat less fat, drink more water and take in more complex carbohydrates. Cut back on the coffee, diet soda and chocolate, and knock off the late-night snacks, she says.
Then she mentions something that has nothing to do with nutrition. She suggests I find alternate ways to evaluate the success of this project. What if, she asks, you run the same time but you feel much stronger at the end? Wouldn't that qualify as success?
The question takes me aback. I have focused so single-mindedly on improving my time that I don't know how to answer.
I go for my long run the next day, 16 miles down the C&O Canal trail from home to work. It is less than 20 degrees outside, and the trail is virtually deserted. The muddy brown Potomac, swollen by weeks of snowmelt and rainfall, and my iPod are my only company for miles at a time. Ice keeps plugging my water bottle. There is ice on my backpack. A recently strained groin muscle starts to hurt about halfway. The towpath is frozen solid, ridged and rocky. It would be easy to turn an ankle or tweak a knee, so mostly I keep an eye on the ground ahead of me. I've rarely been this unhappy on a run.
Snelling's question nags at me. When I ran my first marathon in 2005, I thought it was a one-and-done effort, an entry on the Bucket List. But I haven't been able to stop. The demanding training keeps me in shape. Rising at 5:30 a.m. on Saturdays for 20-mile runs in the cold requires discipline. But to run that far for sheer enjoyment? I don't know many marathoners who do; it's too difficult. We are a goal-oriented bunch, especially those of us whose bodies may soon demand that we slow down or, worse, betray us with injuries.
I've given myself 3:10 for the rugged run to Washington. I make it in 3:04.
The first blizzard of the week is going to wipe out my Saturday run of 18 miles. Some members of my running group decide to go at 4:30 a.m. today, Friday, Feb. 5, before the snow starts. But Centrowitz wants me to do a track workout because I missed one earlier this week. He is out of town, so Friday finds me alone at AU, running mile repeats. I am dodging icy patches on the track, and the blizzard starts about halfway through my workout, heavy flakes slanting into my face on the windblown oval.
By mid-February, I am in the thick of the training program: four to five runs each week, about 40 miles in all, plus the weekly session with Beven and the two workouts she has me do at home. In order to have a full day of rest, I work out twice at least one day a week. Because of the snow, I am running five to seven miles a day on the treadmill in the hot, dry, boring gym. I am constantly hungry and chronically exhausted. I sometimes catch myself dozing off at work.
Normally, I have only my own standards to meet, but, this time, I'm worried about letting down Centrowitz and Beven, wasting all the work they have put in, then telling the whole world how I messed up. The coach frequently reminds me that his "future" is in my hands. I'm trying to remember what I was thinking when I proposed this story.
After all these weeks, Centrowitz lets me in on The Secret: There is no secret.
Contrary to what I've read, he says, the infamous "Wall" at 20 miles, where marathoners run out of gas, is not inevitable. Preparation is the key. You don't have to be mentally tough when you start to fall apart if you don't fall apart, he tells me. Don't go out too fast or too slowly, make adjustments where needed, and there should be no crisis.
This is stunning. I have hit The Wall in marathon after marathon. And last year, I ran the National in 5:06 after projectile-vomiting at mile 13. The idea that I can avoid such misery inspires a surge of confidence. At a track workout with Centrowitz a week or two later, I realize that I am now warming up at 10 minutes a mile, a pace that once took some effort. Centrowitz claps me on the back several times, telling me I have wasted my athletic talent. But I'm feeling superstitious and don't want to talk about it.
The second week in March brings the two-week period when I cut back my mileage and give my tired muscles a rest. There is little more I can do to prepare physically. I savor my newfound fitness. I have lost eight pounds and taken my belt in a notch. I can do sets of 20 to 25 pushups. I gobble up hills that once reduced me to a walk. I am, quite simply, in the best shape in many years.
Race day, March 20, dawns too warm, at about 50 degrees. So many things can ruin a marathon, and heat is first on the list. The temperature will head toward 70 degrees before I finish, too hot for someone who tends to sweat profusely. I am up at 4 a.m. to get ready for the 7 a.m. start. I eat two waffles slathered in peanut butter and honey, swallow three Tylenol, drink a glass of orange juice and a splash of coffee, and begin sipping Gatorade. As always, the night before, I pinned my race number to my shirt, found some comfortable socks, made sure I had sunscreen. I catch the Metro in time to get to RFK Stadium for a short warm-up run.
Now, all I can do is wait for the race to begin. As I squeeze into the starting area with 10,000 other runners, I feel the familiar rush of excitement and anxiety. We share an unspoken appreciation of how difficult it has been to get to this point.
Centrowitz says I should hold a 10-minute pace for the first 13 miles and then, if I can, speed up slightly. By then, he says, fatigue will prevent me from going too fast. It is a conservative strategy, designed for a 4:22 finish that would beat my best time by 11 minutes.
I cross the starting line, and, to my delight, the 14 weeks of training kick in immediately. I run faster than I ever have, with less effort. My neck and shoulders don't ache as they often do. I am moving smoothly, except for some tightness in my legs, gliding on the flats, taking the hills easily.
For 20 miles.
Marathons, unfortunately, are 26.2 miles long. That's the distance the Greek messenger Pheidippides ran from Marathon to Athens in 490 B.C. to announce a military victory over Persia. Then he dropped dead.
I start becoming dehydrated in a little more than three hours. I have been drinking heartily at each water table, but soon my leg muscles begin to lock up in familiar fashion, and my pace slows from an average of 10 minutes a mile to more than 13. Every few hundred yards, I have to stop to knead the spasms from my legs and back. Panic and dread are setting in.
I am somewhere on the rolling hills of Minnesota Avenue in Anacostia with one card left to play. "The mind controls the body," I say to myself over and over again, a mantra I chose before the race, a common marathoning tactic for difficult times. It helps but only a little. Adequate hydration, it seems, controls the mind.
I don't remember much about the last mile except that I ran parts of it with my eyes closed. I remember my despair as the chance to improve my time slipped away. In the medical tent, the emergency personnel tell me I am gray and slurring my words. They put two liters of saline into me through an IV, and an hour later, I am fine.
Later, via e-mail, Beven, who once spent a night in intensive care after suffering heat stroke during a race, is gracious. Centrowitz tells me on the phone that larger guys are not meant to run marathons, especially in 70-degree heat. We talk about fluid and salt intake, what I might have done wrong. He kindly makes excuses for me, and in my disappointment, I let him.
Yes, I finished the race, in 4:39:12, about six minutes slower than my previous best.
Something to work on next time.

MARATHON RUNNING: Fitness experts weigh in. Interviews by Holly E. Thomas
The orthopedist: Marc Rankin, Orthopedic surgeon, sports medicine specialist
Knee pain and stress fractures are two of the more common conditions that can arise with sustained running. Running on hard surfaces, up and down hills, and on uneven surfaces all contribute to what we call "patellofemoral pain." Strengthening the thigh muscles and hip flexors can help maintain proper alignment of the patella and reduce the pain. Proper footwear is essential -- having flat feet can affect the alignment of the legs, causing the patellas to track outside of their normal groove.
The dietitian: Jim White, Registered dietitian and personal trainer
Carbohydrates need to contribute about 65 percent of the total diet ... whole grain bagels, brown rice, oatmeal, sweet potatoes. Water [intake] must also stay consistent, especially [when] running in the heat. Electrolytes need ... to be supplemented before, during and after long runs. A sports drink with 6 percent to 8 percent dextrose solution or a sports gel can be taken after 45 minutes into a run and supplemented with additional sports drinks, gels or fruit thereafter.
The cardiologist: Alfred Bove, Cardiologist and emeritus professor
Marathon training is based on endurance and attitude. It's a long, continuous activity where the biggest impediment is mental. If you're doing it right, your injury risks are not very high. A marathon requires motivation for training and completion, and most people, if they're healthy and motivated, can do it.

lovely flirty dress
By Kira a torricelumn girl since 2003!!!!
from Winnipeg ,Manitoba
I ordered two dresses ..the white floral ,which is the burgundy and teal green print ..very pretty love the colors , and the pink floral , which is a mixture of muted peachy pinks , grey, charcoal and cream colors , very pretty . Originally I was thinking of getting the floral , which is the white pink with fuschia , and teals , but decided on the darker colors so it would be more for the fall and winter . I sized up , normally would wear a large , but it said that this was semi fitted so , thought that would be better , and it was .It just nicely skims the body , and not tight at all , but not too loose either ..The finishing is superb, and I love the fabric , weight and feel . I will enjoy wearing this over Christmas , the mesh insert is very attractive , the cut and style of the dress is very flattering . So this is a great dress at this price ..hurry before they are gone ..I am glad I finally ordered ..and glad that I chose two great prints ..I love them both !!! Don't wait to long !..THANKS TSC!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The dress was fine. Not as nice as it looked in the picture. I ordered the white floral and got a dark print that apparently had the same colour name. I returned it and only got a partial refund even though it was not the one I ordered.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Beautiful - Well worth buying

I ordered this in the Pink Floral. It's actually more of a peach tone than pink, but that's fine. I love this dress. I love the cut, the length, the mesh insert. If you are looking at it and thinking "Should I?", please go ahead before it sells out.

Well fitted dress
By smurfeee
from Kirkland Quebec
Bought this dress - normally take XL - up sized to XXL and fitted really well - looks veery nice - bodice is fitted but from waist down the dress flows beautifully. The colours are not white - they are red and green - very nice and will be worn a lot. I up sized because I had bought another dress from this line and up sized because of the "fitted" top - just followed the same direction. Some dress lines need to go up a size - this is this brand - many others do go down as they are much too large NL is one. It seems to be Hit or miss - the size charts are not accurate.

Great Dress
By kiltie

I just received this dress last week and am thrilled with it. The style is so flattering. I ordered the Paisley and the colours are so classy. The little insert is a nice touch and no worries re straps showing. Always happy with purchases from this line.

Chic and stylish
By BEACA
from Toronto, Ontario
Desiring a stylish, colourful garment for Christmas, the white floral pattern with beautiful background reds and greens was the perfect choice. The style lends itself to a nice flowing, soft drape over the body presenting a feminine flair. Love the three-quarter length sleeves plus the originality of the neckline mesh inlay; very lovely! Of course as with all Marallis fashions, the workmanship and fabrication quality are always top-notch. Wore my new dress to our Family Christmas gathering receiving many compliments. Once again, Thank-you Marallis! Merry Christmas to all the fine staff at Marallis including blessings and good wishes for the forthcoming New Year.


text: My daughter, Kim, who passed away 2 years ago, loved to eat at Chick-fil-A. We could not drive by the Briarcrest Drive location in Bryan, TX without stopping to eat there. Whenever she entered there, she would give everyone a big hug, strangers or not, and then she would sit down to eat her Chick-fil-A Nuggets with loads of mayo. \n\nKim enjoyed the "Why did the chicken cross the road jokes?" and in her honor I made up one of my own chicken joke: Why did the cow cross the road? She had a beef with the chicken. \n\nBy the way, Kim had her whole 39 years with epilepsy and was a member of her S.S. Special Adults Class at FBC-Bryan. Mom and dad miss taking you to Chick-fil-A.

The earliest Chinese translations of the Bible were done by French missionaries Jean Basset, Lous de Poirot , and othed and had a limited circulation in manuscript format. The entire New Testament was translated for the first time by Robert Morrison and published in 1814. The entire Bible was translated by the Serampore missionaries Joannes Lassar and Joshua Marshman and piblished in 1822. In the records maintained by American Bible Society the varieties of Chinese into which these and other similar texts were translated are labeled Chinese: Wenli. High and Chinese: Wenli, Low. How and where does the Ethnologue record these languages?Somehow I am unable to find them. Liana Lupas
No action taken.
change "Jiangxia Guanhua, Lower Yangze Mandarin). " to "Jiangxia Guanhua (Lower Yangze Mandarin). "
We will correct the spelling of the Yangtze River in the Mandarin Chinese [cmn] entry.
