I spend a lot of money on appointments at my sports chiropractor. This basically goes against my New Year's Resolution #2 to be more frugal, but I think the results are with the expense. My right knee hasn't been quite right since the Disney World Marathon in January, and it's been particularly unhappy since the San Diego half marathon on Sunday. (I guess that's what happens when you earn a new half marathon personal record!) But after seeing the chiropractor this afternoon I am feeling much better. Having your muscles manipulated is a painful process, but it's amazing how effective the treatments can be. And it's a good thing too because the LA Marathon is this weekend and I can't say I'm all that prepared. I didn't maintain my fitness level for a while after the Disney World Marathon due to illness and injury, and I've only completed two runs longer than 13.1 miles in the last two months. My 18 and 20 mile runs went well, but that might not translate into decent performance on a 26.2 mile course (as I learned on January 8th). I'm fairly confident that I can successfully finish the marathon on Sunday, but I'm definitely not as well trained as I was for the first one. Fortunately I'm planning on running with one of usual buddies and we have very modest time and pace goals. Neither of us is in peak condition right now (we both have knee problems) and we have no reason to push ourselves to go any faster. There's always a possibility that she'll send me ahead after a while, similar to what's happened in our long training runs, but we'll just have to see how it goes. The course isn't the most runner-friendly and the weather isn't going to be all that pleasant either. The forecast for Sunday is improving, though, so maybe we'll be OK. During this last week of marathon prep I'm taking it easy, but still staying active. Tonight I went to a boot camp class at the gym which thankfully consisted of only upper body and core exercises. I definitely couldn't handle a lot of lower body work right now. I'm going to complete my last few (very short) training runs over the next three days and then rest as much as possible on Saturday. I'm nervous about running the LA Marathon in give days, but I think I'm ready! Well, as ready as I can be.

Monday night placeholder
It's Monday night and I really should be getting ready for bed, but instead I'm sitting on my couch attempting to write a worthwhile webpage post about the last few days. Unfortunately I just haven't been able to find enough energy to keep my blog updated lately. Not that I've had much free time to even consider writing with my ridiculous work commitments recently, but I was hoping that having a long weekend away from the office would finally help me churn out a few entries. (Often I mentally compose posts at completely inopportune times to document them – like while I was running the San Diego half marathon yesterday – so many of my brilliant ideas are lost forever.) I did spend some quality time with my laptop this weekend, but nothing much came of it. I think my brain was just too weary after the last few weeks to be able to formulate more than the few coherent sentences you're reading right now. And they took longer to write than I'd like to admit. I haven't slept enough in quite a while and I've been on the go for far too long now. Luckily I have a little bit of a break coming on the work front, but with the LA Marathon next Sunday morning I still have important fitness obligations I have to fulfill this week. (Of course today all I did was go to Disneyland with my friend and her daughter, even 5 hours of walking was a break for my aching knee after the race yesterday.) I am in serious need of some time to relax. I have a plan so we'll see if I'm able to execute it this week. If I am successful I'll be able to let you know how it goes in a new webpage post soon!
Thank you, Old Navy
"The other day I realized that some of the new pants I ordered from Old Navy recently (during a 50% off Labor Day sale online) were feeling loose. Not like I've lost a full pants size yet, but I might be getting there. Will I be disappointed if all of my brand new pants don't fit in a month? A little, but I'll be much happier being smaller and lighter than I've been in about a year and a half. And running will be easier too."
10/2/16 webpage post
"It's official – my pants are too big. This morning as I was getting dressed for work I slipped on a pair of my favorite pants – olive green skinny jeans from Old Navy. I ordered them just a couple of months ago, about a week after I started my Nutrisystem diet. I was so excited to have started losing weight that I treated myself to some new clothes to celebrate. What I didn't think about was those new clothes being too big for my shrinking body a few short weeks later. Even though I knew I'd been making great progress, I was still shocked when I buttoned my pants this morning and discovered how loose they are in the waist. Really baggy everywhere but the legs (this runner's legs are muscular!). Not quite unwearable yet, but they're getting close."
11/9/16 webpage post
A couple of weeks ago Old Navy was having a 50% off sale on jeans. Based on the fact that most of the pants from my pre-diet days no longer fit me properly I figured it was the perfect time to restock my wardrobe. It was so satisfying selecting a smaller size when filling up my shopping cart. I've lost 17 lbs (and counting) since September and I look damn good. Especially now that I'm a size 4 again. Due to the very timely sale I went a little crazy and bought six new pairs of Rock Star jeans and pants to replace the ones that I can't wear on a regular basis anymore. About a week later they finally arrived at my door I eagerly tried on every pair. The purchases were mostly a success because I decided to keep five of the six pairs. I'm so excited to have more items of clothing that fit me at my current size rather than pulling the same couple of pairs of jeans out of the drawer day after day. Variety is the spice of life, as they say. Last night I tried on all of my old size 6 pants to decide whether any of them were worth keeping. Due to the less than superior construction of Old Navy garments every one fits a little differently even though the tags all have the same size printed on them. I'm not quite ready to donate all of the old pants yet, especially my beloved corduroys (winter will last a while longer here in LA), so I'm going to try throwing them in the dryer to see if I can shrink them just a little bit. Not that I have any place to store both the old and new pairs, though. I know it's a first world problem, but I'm really going to miss my favorite purple pants if I have to get rid of them!
Surf City half marathon 2017
Before I write about more recent events I'd like to go back and cover a couple of happenings from earlier this year. I can't believe it's been nearly a month since the 2017 Surf City Half Marathon, which took place on February 5th. That Sunday morning was perfect running weather, cloudy and cool, but unfortunately my running form wasn't quite as perfect. I was still recovering from my lovely cold/flu/bronchitis combination so my breathing wasn't what it should be to run 13.1 miles, and my training had fallen off sharply for that reason. But I needed to restart my fitness regimen somehow, and I was feeling much better than even a week earlier, so I arrived for the half marathon with cautious optimism. Before the race started I chatted with a friend about our time goals (I just wanted to finish!) and took a picture with my running group. I was nervous, but ready to get started. And the first few miles of the course were great. I even passed my friend who is usually a lot faster than me around mile 4. That was a surprise. (In her defense, she'd been fighting her own illnesses throughout January as well.) Training for the Disney World Marathon had gotten my body into pretty good shape, and I hadn't lost all that much in the way of fitness in the month that followed. I did remarkably well for a number of miles, but by mile 10 I was gasping for breath. No surprise after having bronchitis, really. My pace wasn't suffering too much, but trying to recover during my walk breaks was a losing battle. I passed my running group's cheer squad and told them I was ok, but couldn't breathe. The other runners around me overheard and thought I was trying to be funny. They all laughed, but I was being serious! With only about a 5K to go I pushed myself to finish without slowing down. And I did! My official time for the half marathon was 2:37:46 which wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. Not that I'd been expecting much. I was happy to have averaged a 12 min/mile pace for the whole distance. After getting my medal I grabbed a carton of chocolate milk that I'd been looking forward to all morning, and chatted with a couple of friends at the finish line before driving home. Even though it wasn't my best half marathon showing I was still encouraged. I knew I was only going to get faster and stronger with renewed health and consistent running in the weeks to come. And with the LA Marathon fast approaching I needed all the help I could get.
Goodbye February
This year is moving so fast. I can't believe another month is over. Granted it's the shortest month on the calendar, but still. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to write nearly as much as I wanted to. I have a large number of half-finished, and some only half-started, blog posts waiting to be completed. Not only have I been faithfully training for the LA Marathon which is now just 19 days away (I made up for my ow mileage in January but running like crazy in February), but work has been completely monopolizing most of my waking hours. I even have to go in early tomorrow morning so that I can work a full day before going to the sports chiropractor in the afternoon because my knee needs more attention before the marathon. I'm dedicated to my work, but even more dedicated to my running! Free time has been so hard to come by lately, though. I'm hoping that I can be efficient enough this week that I can take at least part of the weekend off. I am planning to run 12 miles on Sunday morning, but I also hope to spend a few hours at Disneyland. If I can limit my hours at work this weekend I will be happier, more rested, and ready to face the even crazier week ahead. I know I shouldn't be neglecting my mental health, but sometimes it suffers due to higher priority endeavors. One of these days I'll be able to take a deep breath and relax!
Academy Awards 2017
Turns out I didn't have enough free time while I was in Las Vegas to write anything at all. It was a whirlwind trip with very little down time. So when I got home this evening (around 7 PM due to heavy traffic headed back to Los Angeles) I sat down with my laptop to try and write a decent blog post. Obviously I was unsuccessful. I'm tired and dreading the week ahead, so I escaped into the world of the Academy Awards. It wasn't too long ago that I fervently tried to see as many of the Best Picture films as possible before the Oscars, but it's been impossible to find the time for that these days. Especially now that there can be up to ten nominees. And this year may be my poorest showing ever. I looked through all of the nominated movies and I've only seen five of them – none of which fall in any of the major categories. Take a look at the list below. First of all, I'm supremely embarrassed to not have seen "Hidden Figures" yet. As a woman in the aerospace industry I'm a little ashamed that I never made it to the theater for such an important piece of cinema. But in maybe an even more shocking confession, I haven't even seen "Moana," for heaven's sake! This should highlight just how few times I've gone to the movies in the last six months. Fortunately there's always On Demand to help me catch up on some of this year's most acclaimed films. That's if I can find any free time.

Day off for a cause
Today was only my second day off since February 5th. Work has just been crazy, and even with wrapping up a major event yesterday, my list of obligations doesn't seem to be getting shorter anytime soon. So how was I able to manage being out of the office on a Friday when I'm obviously swamped? Well, it was for a very good reason. Today was basically my only chance to complete my necessary 20-mile run in preparation for the LA Marathon as dictated by my training plan. Ideally I would have waited until tomorrow or Sunday for my last long run before the marathon, but being in Las Vegas for the Hot Chocolate 15K this weekend complicated things. So my running buddy and I decided to take some time off from work in order to run this morning. I'll write more about that in another post. If I'm honest, I should have gone to work for at least a little while this afternoon, but that didn't happen. Instead I spent my extra free time doing a things around the house and relaxing more than I have in weeks. It was lovely. But right now I'm exhausted and I need to finish getting ready to go out of town tomorrow morning. I'll try to write something more substantial while I'm in Vegas!
What weekend?
My last day off of work was February 11th, the day I went to Disneyland to see the Main Street Electrical Parade (which I wrote about last week). Starting last Sunday I worked night shifts for five days, and then put in as many hours as possible in the office over the weekend. That kind of schedule doesn't make for much of a social life, but sometimes it is necessary.
On Friday morning I blearily stumbled out of work at 6 AM. There was a major winter storm bearing down on Los Angeles that day, but it hadn't arrived yet. I was lucky to get home before the crazy wind and rain hit Orange County. I fell asleep around 9 AM and slept through a lot of it, but I had to get up around 2 PM to get ready for an appointment with my sports chiropractor. It was still storming when I had to leave the house and an umbrella wasn't the least bit effective in such severe weather. I threw on my raincoat, but still got soaked by the time I got to the chiropractor's office. The reason I was there was to get some relief from my knee pain before starting my highest mileage week of LA Marathon training. My chiropractor does great work, but it always hurt like crazy during the treatment. He always leaves bruises behind! It's worth it for the great results, though. After I got home again I knew I needed to get ready and go to work, but I stalled because of the terrible weather that I wasn't willing to face again quite yet. I even resorted to filing my taxes to have an excuse to stay home a little longer! (The good news is that I got a decent refund.) Eventually I made it to work for a few hours to make sure everything was set for the tests I planned to run over the weekend.
On Saturday I woke up late because my body still hadn't readjusted to a normal schedule (i.e., being awake during daylight hours) after a week of night shifts. I dragged myself to work for eight hours, and only got home in time to wash a load of laundry before bedtime (workout clothes, of course). Sunday was slightly more interesting because I didn't go to work first thing due to some computer maintenance that was happening in the morning. It was the perfect time to get together with my running buddies and complete a 14-mile LA Marathon training run. We ran on a path in Brea which was very pretty, but our pace was much slower than usual. We also got rained on for a while in the middle. It wasn't the most pleasant experience, but luckily, thanks to the slower pace, I still felt good when we were done. The downside is that we weren't done until a lot later than I expected. I drove home, ate lunch, showered, and rushed to work as fast as I could, but I didn't get there until 2 PM. After seven hours there I managed to escape. Since it was already 9 PM all I accomplished after that was getting ready for work the next day. And thus a busy, but not very entertaining weekend came to an end. Hopefully I'll have something more interesting to write about after this coming weekend.
Blog excuses
Try as I might, the regularity of my webpage updates has suffered lately. There are multiple reasons for the reduction in frequency, just like my excuses for not getting back to the gym sooner that I wrote about in my last post. I miss writing every day, but it just hasn't been possible. The bottom line is that all of my waking hours have been consumed with one of the three activities below for the last week or so. I haven't really had any free time in nine days, and I don't really expect that to change until the upcoming weekend when I head to Las Vegas for the Hot Chocolate 15K with my running buddies.
1) Work
Last Sunday night I started my first of five night shifts at work. It was rough. Working from 10 PM to 7 AM takes its toll on you, especially when sleeping soundly during the day is challenging. My body just didn't want to stay asleep when it was warmer than usual in my bedroom and sunlight was pouring through the cracks in my blinds. I did get paid a little extra for working such odd hours, but it wasn't enough to make up for the upheaval in my daily routine. Even after my night shifts were over I still had to work both days this weekend. Not the best way to spend my days of rest, but my overwhelming workload demanded it. I can't wait to have next weekend off!
2) Running
Luckily my crazy work schedule still allowed me to complete my weekday runs and attend my usual boot camp classes in the evenings before I went to work. I got my Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays training runs done without too much trouble. The above photo was taken during my 9-mile run at Bolsa Chica State Beach last Wednesday which I was able to start at 5 PM (something that's not possible on most regular work days). The picture doesn't do it justice, but I got to see a beautiful sunset as I was running along the Pacific Ocean. You just can't beat that. I also ran 14 miles with my running buddies this past Sunday morning. Some computer maintenance at work that morning gave me the perfect excuse to get another marathon training run done. I can't believe the LA Marathon is in less than four weeks!
3) Sleep (or not)
At the end of each of my night shifts last week I was completely exhausted. It was all I could do to throw on some pajamas and crawl into bed when I got home. Falling asleep wasn't my problem at all, but staying asleep was another story. Even though I wasn't able to get enough hours of slumber in between work shifts I still spent a fair amount of time in bed either trying to go back sleep or lying there staring at my iPad when sleep was elusive. It was kinda nice to lounge in my lovely flannel sheets before getting up and facing the day, but I'd have much rather have worked and slept on a normal schedule. And speaking of a normal schedule, I've stayed up way too late tonight writing this post. At this rate I won't get enough sleep to face a day shift (you know, that thing I was longing for last week?) at work tomorrow. Good night!
Gym excuses
Three night shifts done with the fourth starting soon. I'm starting to get into the groove of this schedule – just in time for it to be over after tomorrow night. While I'm waiting to go in to work tonight I'll start catching up on some of the backlog of blog topics that I've been intending to write about for a while.
I didn't get back to the gym after the Disney World Marathon until last Monday, 2/6. That was a hiatus of more than a month. I intended to go back a lot sooner, but there were some extenuating circumstances. Illness and injury kept me sidelined for a while after I got back from Orlando, and I only seriously considered going to boot camp on Friday, 2/3. However, it didn't happen on that particular day for a couple of reasons.
1) Cubicle move…again
My work group was slated to move our offices to a different area at the end of the day so all of our belongings, including our computers, had to be boxed up and ready for the movers by 5 PM. Since I started working on my program in 2005 I have moved my cubicle so many times that I've lost count of the actual number. It's somewhere on the order of 6 or 7 – enough to make you wonder whether unpacking is even worth it. So on top of having a lot of work to do that Friday, I also had to pack up all of my personal items and disconnect all of my computers (I have more than one in my cubicle) before leaving for the day. It was a messy and time-consuming endeavor. The office move preparation was complicated by the fact that I had to leave early that day for a doctor's appointment at 3:30 PM.
2) Doctor's appointment
If you read my blog then you're familiar with the foot and knee injuries I sustained during the Disney World Marathon. Luckily the foot problems disappeared shortly after I got back from Orlando and never reappeared, but The knee pain lingered a bit longer. Every time I went running my knee would hurt for about 24 hours afterwards, especially when I was going up or down stairs. This made me wonder if there was something more serious going on. So just in case I made an appointment with the physician's assistant that I saw the first two times I had running-related afflictions. The last thing I wanted was to continue running through the pain (which was admittedly mild compared to previous ailments) and cause permanent damage. I was late to my appointment due to the cubicle move at work, but that annoyance was forgotten because I got good news from the PA. I was very happy when she told me that my symptoms are simply due to IT band tightness and nothing serious. Phew! Nothing some stretching and visits to the sports chiropractor can't fix!
After this ordeal last Friday I did make it back to the gym on Monday, 2/3. I'm so happy to be back to my regular workout routine so I hope I can keep it up. No more excuses (or injuries, hopefully)!

It was a mournful, sombre atmosphere at cricket's HQ as a humiliated Pakistan completed their hapless capitulation in the fourth Test, overstepping the mark of irresponsible batting in the process.
The tourists recorded their heaviest ever defeat in a Test match as England's number nine Stuart Broad ended up scoring more runs in his one knock than the entire Pakistan side could muster in either of their two innings.
While England were busy swiping a staggeringly spineless Pakistan batting line-up aside, there was an unavoidable elephant in the Lord's Long Room - the shocking allegations of spot fixing within the tourists' ranks.
A debatably respectable red-top printed so-called "evidence" that Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif deliberately bowled calculated no balls to order, with Pakistan skipper Salman Butt and serial fumbler Kamran Akmal also implicated in "the most sensational sporting scandal ever".
Of course, it is all, as yet, unproven, but the allegations of Aamer's involvement were all the more startling given that, until recently, the prodigious 18-year-old thought 'spot fixing' was a type of acne treatment.
Asif has clocked up almost as many bans and cricketing indiscretions as Jesse 'The Fridge' Ryder, but the shock and sadness of his reputed involvement was still equally as alarming as young Aamer's.
It is frankly irrelevant if Akmal took cash for his alleged involvement as he would have dropped the wads from his grasp anyhow, but captain Butt's role, if proved, would be perhaps the most sickening.
Predictions were rife as to the decibels of the boos which would ring out around Lord's as the players took to the field, but a stunned Lord's offered nothing more than a muted reception in response to the controversy.
Pakistan hardly helped themselves as they sat glumly on their balcony and in the visitors' dressing room without feeling the need to have any form of a warm-up before the start of the day's play. The tourists' preparations were non-descript, and their mood was about as abject as the batting display which followed.
Butt, Aamer and Asif all had their mobile phones confiscated by police probing the case to scupper Paul Collingwood's proposal of an England v Pakistan golf social in the afternoon.
Umar Akmal attempted to give Pakistan's defeat some semblance of respectability with a dashing 79 and a more discerning application of sun block, but it was futile in the context of a pathetic demise from his team-mates.
Pakistan reportedly heard of the allegations at 18:15 last evening, and Andrew Strauss revealed that his side felt "hollow" after wrapping up the win in clinical fashion during the morning session.
The sight of the tourists' manager Yawar Saeed and his assistant Shafqat Ranan poring over the sordid details of the allegations on the team's balcony while their batsmen formed an orderly procession out in the middle encapsulated the sorry farce the fourth day deteriorated into.
England clinched a 3-1 series win in their final Test match before the Ashes in November but, with the finale shrouded in controversy, stiff whisky replaced the celebratory champagne with the game's reputation left in tatters.
SHOT OF THE DAY: With Swann searching for his ninth wicket of the match, Akmal gave the spinner every chance by taking an extravagant and ungainly swipe across the line to dispatch a fine delivery into the Pimms tent over square leg.
STAT OF THE DAY: But for the electrifying 79 from Akmal, Pakistan would have suffered the ignominy of becoming the first side since New Zealand back in 1958 to be bowled out for under 100 in both innings of a Lord's Test.
USER COMMENT OF THE DAY: I don't think that much can be taken from this series for England in view of recent events. How else can the incredibly erratic performance of Pakistan be explained other than some skulduggery was afoot. The repercussions from this series are going to be felt for a long, long time I am sad to say. (Mano de Dios gives his gloomy, but understandable, assessment.)

The couple of times I've passed by the main road, I couldn't stop wondering what's with the snaking queue in front of this burger outlet. Popularity gimmick? Truly that so popular? Honestly, I had no clue whatsoever. Of course next was to consult the foodie gang and they seem to know better. Well, youngsters and burgers, what do you expect, unlike me, day-in-day-out nasi/rice. The three foodies agreed to meal here and I, from Shah Alam, in the evening jam and in the rain, still arrived on time.
Parking and Sea Park? Please do the rounds to park near or afar. The first impression of myBurger Lab, really-really impressive. Quite a long queue, still moved fast because the staff would take your order before reaching the counter. At the counter, pay, collect the food or sit down, whichever first. Downstairs resembled the SEA Park market, I mean the crowd and not the creative ambiance, thus, we went up and fine, we shared the table with another group of customers and now burger time!!
Drinks are free flow and please walk to the machine to re-fill. The burgers, "Spicy Hawaiian Five O-Hot" - grilled soft minced chicken patty, salad leaves, mushrooms, Swiss cheese and pineapple ring. I loved it and yes, one of the best burgers.
"Beautiful Mess 5.0" - beef, fried portabella mushroom, sunny-side up & sharp cheddar.
The fries (included in the set) - fried potato batons with mild rosemary scent and the red sauce, I think poured from heaven. That so good for the spicy knock-out. In fact, the sauce is the catch for the burgers as well. The "Vegetarian Shroom" burger - whole grilled portabella, pineapple, shitake mushroom, enoki mushroom and Swiss cheese.
"A+ Beef Burger" - beef, cheddar, caramelized onions, shitake mushroom and enoki mushroom.
"Chicken Whatever" - fried chicken, cheddar cheese, sunny side up, green salsa and mayonnaise.
The "Dilemma" burger will remain a dilemma because I don't know what happened to the picture. Also, with the excitement of eating, I forgot to jot down the ingredients. Never mind, I guess we will leave it aside. The verdict - everyone loved their fabulous burgers, pricey definitely you can't compare with fast food burger outlets and myBurger Lab - proven to be good.

Waking up
I woke up on a comfortable bed to two doctors staring shocked at me.
"His wounds are healing on their own. How can this be?"
"He is waking up."
"Uhhh." I groan sitting up, my mind clouded between the darkness of my mind and my own sanity.
"Sir, you healed pretty quick you interna..."
"Shut up!" I yell angerly for no reason," Sorry I'm fine, its a side effect of my that soul song." I mumble the last part.
The bed beside mine slept Sveta who obviously engaged Talyn. That Bastard! I can't believe I lost to him in my most terrifying form. He hardly even have to use his soul song. What had made him stronger? I couldn't afford to lose to him his beleifs are poisnous, he can manipulate people. He had to be stopped!
As I went to stand Zooran walked in wearing a kings uniform, Something must have happened while I was out.
"Nice to see you have recovered Shikashi." Zooran said," How is Sveta?" He asked one of the doctors.
"She said make a healthy recovery. These two a very lucky. That man has demonstrated his power before whole entire mountians will fall before him."
"Yeah but he was to much of a coward to fight me." Zooran said. I smiled.
"Anyways Shikashi Firaith is west of here, and I'm assembling a small group of men to assist us to fight him."

A spell of romance
In the sleepy town of Gladfell a new family moves in, although they are not the same as the normal residents. They bring a sparkle of interest to the neighbourhood and don't seem to mind the creepy old forgotten house. The school has new students and normal students don't know what to think but they best be careful or else they're turned into frogs.
The rain lashed against windows as the wind hollowed throughout the night, the locals were locked up tight in their cosy homes and every car was park in their drives.
The old battered for sale sign was firmly set in the ground of the old dark house, is was any wonder that it was still there. No one had being in the house in years; many had said that they should knock it down and just as the mayor agreed to get rid of it someone called wanting to buy the old creepy house.
So who was this new family?

Grant Park Growler
We meandered along a reservoir for about a mile, and then the doubletrack trail suddenly and discouragingly shot straight for the sky. Super-steep-granny-gear-if-you're-lucky climbs were followed by awful-steep-locked-up-wheels-if-you're-lucky descents, and it never let up. Signs even warned us of the possibility of a wet chamois on some of the scarier downhills.
There was some flat ground, but it was generally covered in mud and/or water.
We often stopped to catch our breaths and consult the map again ... "Do we really have to go up there? Really?"
Finally we gained the ridge and the roller coaster became more reasonable, complete with great views of Mount Hamilton. But my legs were running on near-empty, and I had little to combat the continuous climbs.
To add injury to insult, the final descent was so steep it required a full commitment that I failed to make. I launched over a headwall, panicked, hit the brakes — probably both of them — and lurched forward and sideways, making blunt contact with the stem in a way that hurts girls too, I assure you. I was too wrapped up in a visual bombardment of colors and stars to warn Beat that he should walk this section of the trail, but he was already off the bike when he approached the drop-off. Just as well. I joined him, walking downhill, laughing about my poor execution of this fairly terrible ride that in its own way was actually pretty fun.
It only took us two hours and 45 minutes to complete a 14-mile ride — which, according to GPS, had 2,800 feet of climbing, most all of that in the first nine miles, and none of it rewarded with any kind of reasonable (i.e. brakeless) descent. Basically, it would have been easier to run.
Live and learn. At least Beat's friend Martina made us this truly spectacular igloo cake to celebrate Steve's, Beat's and my completion of the Susitna 100. She even included our race numbers in the decoration: 4 (Steve), 60 (me) and 62 (Beat.) Very sweet of her — good to know that while some irrational actions will reward you with a groin injury, others will earn you a cake!

Get Back Up
I've had problems with this girl so I thought I would write out how I feel. My friends also helped me get back on feet during my mental crisis.
Yesterday I was the fool
Oppressed memories are faded, but not forgotten
Unnerving my balance, you have been banished
Absolute will, will not break my spirit
Radiating thoughts of absurdity, a waste of time
Enough is enough!
Always and forever you'll be just a deity of deception
Plotting schemes will not fool me
Lies lead to an empty husk of stolen essence
Are you always the delusive demon?
Underneath the flesh the venom crawls to swallow my soul
Getting back up to start anew direction
Enough of your charms!

This is when you are so out of shape (because it happens more often) that when you play a game online with a buddy against 2 other guys and you are trying to get 1st so bad that your heart starts beating so fast and you start sweating and then you can't sleep for like an hour because you have too much adrenaline.
Man, the other day I got some good cybercise when me and my buddy played a 2v2 CTF on UT, the only problem was I couldn't sleep for like 2 hours afterwards!

The SAD-BJP alliance is "everlasting" and both the parties should not be seen as different from each other, he told reporters here.
"The tried and tested alliance between the two parties is a unique phenomenon of the Indian democratic system. It has passed every litmus test in the last few decades," the 5-time Chief Minister said.
It is a sheer wastage of time to raise any suspicion regarding the relationship between both the partners, he said.
"Our alliance is very strong," the 86-year-old Chief Minister said. Badal was responding to questions on seat-sharing between the BJP and its ally Shiv Sena for coming Maharashtra assembly polls.
The seat-sharing in Maharashtra is the personal matter of both the parties and it should not be linked with that of the SAD-BJP in Punjab, he said. "The relations between the SAD and the BJP are very cordial.
They have been time and again cemented with mutual affection and understanding," Badal said. "The SAD-BJP government has put Punjab on high growth trajectory," he said.
Earlier, Badal paid floral tributes to Shiekh Baba Farid and said his life and philosophy is very much relevant in todays materialistic society.

At sunrise on an unseasonably cold, drizzly May morning, you might expect most people to still be curled up in bed, huddled under the blankets and dreaming of warmer weather. But on the Chesapeake Bay's Eastern Shore, the birds are up and active, which means so are the bird banders at Foreman's Branch Bird Observatory.
"We start an hour before sunrise, so right now that's about 5:15 [a.m.]," says Amanda Spears, one of the banders at Foreman's Branch. "It's really busy the first couple of rounds, but it dies down later as the birds settle in after migrating all night."
Part of Washington College's Center for Environment & Society and named for the branch of the Chester River that flows nearby, Foreman's Branch Bird Observatory is the only major migratory bird banding station on Maryland's Eastern Shore. From March 1st through the end of May, Spears and her colleagues spend up to eight hours each day catching and banding birds as they migrate through the area.
Between spring and fall migrations, the team bands close to 15,000 birds each year. Spring migration in particular flies by. "Once the birds leave the tropics, they're where they want to be in about two weeks," explains Jim Gruber, director of Foreman's Branch Bird Observatory. A retired Natural Resources officer, Gruber has been banding since he was 15 years old and now volunteers his time and expertise at Foreman's Branch.
Foreman's Branch and other bird observatories use mist nets—fine-mesh, polyester nets that hang loosely between two poles—to catch and monitor migrating birds. Each bird is carefully carried back to the banding station, where information is recorded on its age, sex, weight, body fat and more. New avian visitors are fitted with a small, stamped aluminum band on one leg; others, like return visitors, may already have a band. Researchers can use this band number to track how long ago a bird was banded and the places it may have stopped along its travels. Some species may travel thousands of miles from their wintering grounds to spring and summer habitat.
Data that the banders collect—along with banding data from across the country—is sent to Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Laurel, Maryland: home of the Bird Banding Laboratory, which partners with the Canadian Wildlife Service's Bird Banding Office to form the North American Bird Banding Program. As of 2012, the Bird Banding Laboratory received more than 1.2 million banding records each year. The information helps scientists understand migration patterns, population dynamics, the effects of management actions and the status of threatened or endangered species.
For the birds themselves, though, the banding station is nothing more than a quick stopover. As banders finish with each bird, it's released out a window and sent on its way. Some pause on a nearby shrub or tree limb, but most fly quickly out of sight, off to fill up on food and prepare for the next leg of their journey.
To protect the safety and health of migrating birds, bird banding is a strictly controlled activity in the United States. Banding permits are only given to trained professionals whose projects aid in bird conservation and management. If you find a banded bird, report the band number at www.reportband.gov or 1-800-327-BAND along with where, when and how you recovered the bird.

May is National Biking Month, and the Chesapeake region has hundreds—if not thousands—of miles of bike paths and trails to explore. Biking can make for a fun afternoon and is a great way to explore an area while getting some exercise! From short loops to long regional trails, here's a list of eight paths to explore by bike.
1. Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Canal Towpath
Originally serving as a way for horses to pull coal-filled barges down the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, the C&O towpath is now a multi-use trail stretching 185 miles from Washington, D.C., to Cumberland, Maryland. The trail runs along the Maryland side of the Potomac River, is mostly wooded and offers sights of beautiful scenery and wildlife.
The trail has restrooms, camping areas, lookout points, historic sights and much more. While there are some paved sections, the path is mostly an even, hard-backed dirt trail. If 185 miles isn't enough biking for you, once you reach Cumberland, you can continue another 150 miles on the Great Allegheny Passage all the way to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Pine Creek Trail, located at the bottom of Pine Creek Gorge (also known as the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon), is a 61-mile trail that runs along the river that gives the area its name. Running from Stokesdale to Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania, this paved, low grade trail has multiple restrooms and runs through several small towns, making it perfect for a quick ride or a multi-day tour through northcentral Pennsylvania. Almost the entire trail runs along Pine Creek, offering spectacular views of the water, rock outcroppings, waterfalls and wildlife like eagles, osprey, wild turkeys and otters.
Originally a railroad line, High Bridge Trail stretches over 30 miles from Burkeville to Pamplin, Virginia. The main attraction of the trail is its namesake, High Bridge, which stretches 2,400 feet across the Appomattox River, and is 125 feet high. Built in 1853, High Bridge is the longest recreational bridge in Virginia and is among the longest in the U.S. It is both a Virginia Historic Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places.
High Bridge Trail is wide, generally flat and made of crushed limestone, with restrooms and picnic tables along the trail. The trail is over 30 miles long, but those who want a shorter ride can start off in nearby Farmville and bike the four and a half miles from downtown to the bridge. No matter the length, High Bridge Trail offers beautiful views of central Virginia's woodlands and rural farmlands.
The Cross Island Trail offers views of woods, farmland, marshes and the Bay as you bike across Kent Island in Maryland. This flat, paved trail runs six miles, making it ideal for an easy afternoon bike ride. Start in the west at Terrapin Beach Park and take a break at one of the restaurants on the eastern side at Kent Narrows. Or, if you're starting in the east, Terrapin Park is a great place for a picnic break or a short hike before biking back.
Located in Laurel, Delaware, Loblolly is a five mile trail in Trap Pond State Park. The trail loops around the pond and also takes riders through forests, across bridges, over dams and past the historic Bethesda Church's cemetery. Visitors can access a hiking path via Loblolly Trail that takes them to Cypress Point where they can also get a view of bald cypress trees.
Jones Falls Trail is located in Baltimore, Maryland, and runs over nine miles from the Inner Harbor to northwestern Baltimore. While this trail is relatively hilly, it never exceeds a five percent grade and follows along the Jones Falls stream for much of its route
It begins in an urban setting, starting at the Inner Harbor and heading through downtown Baltimore up to Penn Station. For those who prefer more nature on their bike rides, the trail then runs past Penn Station along the Jones Falls stream and crosses into Druid Park, a 745-acre park which houses Druid Lake, the Maryland Zoo and the Rawlings Conservatory and Botanic Gardens. The trail remains mostly nature until it ends at the Cylburn Arboretum and Cylburn Mansion.
Completed in 2015, the Virginia Capital Trails runs for 52 miles from Richmond to Jamestown, Virginia's current and former capitals. This flat and paved path follows along the James River and offers scenic ride, going past several historic sites and properties. The trail is dotted with amenities—spots for bike rentals, repair stations, rest areas and even opportunities for geocaching.
8. Bacon Ridge
While still a new trail and undergoing a new phase of development, Bacon Ridge is a great place for those more interested in mountain biking. Located in Crownsville, Maryland, Bacon Ridge is ideal for families and beginning riders, due to its relatively few obstacles such as rocks and roots. The trail's first two-and-a-half mile loop was completed in 2015, but the trail will ultimately extend up to 12 miles.

Marsh periwinkles cling to saltmarsh cordgrass at Money Point in Chesapeake, Virginia. The periwinkle is a small snail that lives in tidal marshes and wetlands near the mid- and lower Chesapeake Bay. Periwinkles rise and fall with each tide, feeding on algae growing on the blades of grass. The small snails are also known to practice "fungiculture" by chewing holes in the cordgrass and spreading waste across the cuts, allowing them to "farm" fungus.
Previously a 35-acre "dead zone," Money Point is located along the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River. It was once so polluted that the river bottom was nearly lifeless. Recent restoration projects led by the Elizabeth River Project and others have significantly improved the health of the waterway.

As humans have shaped the world around us, we have ensured that lakes, rivers, oceans and even Arctic sea ice have something in common: these waters now contain microscopic pieces of plastic from our cosmetics, cleaners and synthetic clothing capable of harming the growth, development and behavior of marine life.
Known as microplastics, these debris are smaller than the width of a common drinking straw and are appearing in more regions and in bigger quantities around the world. In 2014, scientists reported the presence of microplastics in four Chesapeake Bay rivers: the Patapsco, Rhode, Corsica and Magothy. In 2015, scientists used a manta trawl to skim the surface of waters across the Bay and visually observed microplastics in many of the 60 samples that were taken.
The danger of microplastics is in their size, their makeup and the things that can happen to them once they are in the water. Microplastics are incredibly small and can be absorbed or ingested by a wide range of animals up and down the food chain. Microplastics are made from synthetic polymers that contain chemicals that can leach into the environment. And microplastics can "pick up" exotic organisms, pathogens and toxic contaminants and carry them over long distances. Research shows that microplastics have been ingested by hundreds of species—including some that we consume as food—and can affect the reproduction rate of zooplankton, the weight of benthic worms and the behavior of fish.
One kind of microplastic that has been the focus of media attention—as well as a successful movement to ban the item from personal care products—is the microbead: synthetic polymers that have replaced pumice, oatmeal and other natural exfoliants as abrasive scrubbers. Their fate is inherent in their design: many microbeads are meant to be washed down the drain, moving through wastewater treatment plants and into rivers and streams as direct effluent or as so-called "biosolids" applied to farm fields and pushed by rain or wind back into the water. In the United States alone, an estimated eight billion microbeads are released into aquatic habitats every day. Assuming these beads are 100 micrometer spheres—close to the diameter of a human hair—you can wrap them around the earth more than seven times.
Because microbeads are a significant source of microplastics, any effort to eliminate them removes a significant source of microplastics from the environment. In a technical review of microbeads and microplastics in the Chesapeake Bay, our Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) called federal legislation to ban microbeads from rinse-off personal care products "laudable," but found the regulations' scope is too limited to address the whole microplastics—and even the whole microbead—problem.
As experts noted in the STAC report, a focus on rinse-off personal care products does not eliminate all sources of microbeads from the environment. Cosmetics, deodorants, lotions and non-personal care products like industrial and household cleaners aren't addressed. So this legislation could be seen as the beginning of a suite of management strategies for microbeads and microplastics. To maintain momentum in the fight against microplastics, experts recommend improving techniques to detect the presence, composition and quantities of microplastics in the environment; initiating a long-term study on the amount, sources and sinks of microplastics in the Bay; improving waste management and promoting sustainable product design; and leading educational outreach and legislation on the topic.
As part of the Chesapeake Bay Program's work toward its Toxic Contaminants Research Outcome, partners have committed to gathering more information on microplastics and other issues of emerging concern. Learn about our efforts to combat microplastics and how you can help.

The decision, reached at last week's general meeting, is the best way to organize a 16-team, four-pool tournament, co-organizer Jason Kabel said.
Tournament officials originally had planned to use just three fields for games.

Indianapolis firefighter hurt in Thursday morning house fire
A firefighter was hurt when he slipped and fell while fighting a fire on the northwest side of Indianapolis on Thursday morning. His injury was minor.
Firefighters were called out to the home at 1022 Udell Street at 2:44 PM. They found heavy fire coming from the home. It took 45 minutes to get the fire under control. The house is a total loss.
The home was vacant. The two homes on either side of that fire had to be evacuated because there was a fear the fire could spread.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Also, fire crews believe lightning caused a fire at another home around the same time. The second fire was on the northeast side of Indianapolis on Roxbury Road near 56th and Arlington. The three people inside the home were able to make it out safely.

Parker Company is the oldest manufacturer of lawn sweepers and debris-handling equipment in the world. The story of Parker reveals an interesting heritage. In 1878 William Parker a pattern maker, left England for America and moved to Springfield, Ohio which at the time was a hub for agricultural equipment manufacturing. He established a pattern-making shop in 1884 called the W.T. Parker Manufacturing Co. In 1915 he renamed it Parker Pattern Works Co. and created a machine that gave birth to the lawn sweeping industry.

Please, visit their profile in environmental-expert.com for more info.
About Us
A Chicago hardware company was the first recorded customer to purchase a sweeper in 1921. After that initial sale Parker began producing lawn sweepers on a larger scale. When the lawn sweeping business boomed Parker split into two separate companies. Pattern making continued under the already established company name while the Springfield Lawn Sweeper Co. concentrated on making lawn sweepers. The advent of World War II temporarily changed the operations of both companies. They were joined back together to form the Parker Pattern and Foundry Co. which manufactured military parts.
After the war the company returned its focus to lawn sweepers. They introduced machines suitable for domestic lawn care use and experienced a period of growth and expansion. In 1948 the company changed its name to the Parker Sweeper Co.
On the international front, in the mid 1950s their products reached South America, Europe, Africa, the Soviet Union, Japan and the Far East. By the late 1960s Parker's product line included powered or trailing lawn sweepers, power rakes, debris removal equipment and indoor/outdoor vacuums.During the late 1970s international sales accounted for 20% of their sales.
The Parker Sweeper Company of Springfield, Ohio sold the Electro-Sweep ES-5628 in the Late 1950's. This Lawn Sweeper is not Unlike Models still used today. The motor drives the brushes, which in turn sweep leaves and other yard debris into the canvas catcher.
The sweeper pictured here belonged to Elna Eileen Ridgway of Atwood in Rawlins County and was given to the Kansas Museum of History by her son Evan.

Incorrect data entry leads to inaccurate customer analysis, duplicate customer records, and returned mail. Retailers who prioritize customer data verification at the point of capture reduce the occurrence of these issues and increase results within larger strategic initiatives.
Verification improves customer data management, and improved data ultimately improves the bottom line.
Customer data errors are prevalent across all channels. Errors may result from a misunderstanding, mistyping, or even fraud. Customer data verification works seamlessly within each retailer's workflow so that customer data quality is improved without having to change entire retail systems.
Validation occurs during the data entry process so that customers are prompted to resolve any incorrect or incomplete information before the order is finalized and the customer engagement is lost.
This allows customers to easily input accurate data without additional effort, ultimately providing you with the information you need for the best customer data analysis.

Enable more relevant marketing and loyalty programs
Reduce operational costs and staff inefficiencies

... Duomo (remember that it is the Cathedral Church) is Santa Maria Assunta. Also built in the 1300's the church like many others has an impressive interior. The styles in this church includes Romanesque, Byzantine, Gothic, Baroque. It is overwhelming to be in this church and my photos do not do it justice. One of the things that made this church different was that the flooring contains 56 etched and inlaid marble panels. It is covered with carpeting for most of the year and is ...

Aquifer have prompted a call Dram officials at the Edwards Underwound Water District (EUWD) for citizens to step up ordinary conservation efforts in order to meet the seasonal drop. — Water levels in the Edwards Aquifer have been averaging a drop of almost ahalfofafootaday. The water elevation at the Bexar County Index Well was recorded re 656.9 feet above sea level on Friday July IS. EUWD General Manger Rick Higher reminds citizens that the region is in the middle of the hottest, driest part of the year, with temperatures often hovering around IOO degrees. 'The combination of hot weather and little rainfall puts a lot of strain on the aquifer. We can't control how hot or dry it is, but we can control how much water we use," he said. Since 40 percent of summer water use is respired to landscapes, a tremendous amount of water can be saved simply by watering properly. Water in the cool of the day, between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. Also, grass benefits more from a thorough, deep watering once a week rather than several light applications. Other simple measures, such as fix ing leaking faucets and toilets, filling clothes washers and dish washers to capacity, and using a bucket and sponge or a. shut-off valve on your hose when washing your carcan add up to significant water savings. Officials estimate that commonsense conservation efforts can result in at least a 10-15 percent reduction in water use.

The Court decided to table a motion whether to renew their contract with the McKenna health plan until commissioners could consider other options or better review the plan. County Treasurer Bait Bartholomew explained cost increases under foe plan and others as opposed to what employees currently pay. He also gave the court a view of changes or trends in insurance rates. Frank Witting of Witting and Miller insurance explained several items under the current plan and explained options of a self-insured plan when asked. Witting said he favored a self-insured plan by bodies such as a county hut only when it is done correctly. The court also heard a report by County Engineer Tom Homseth regarding toad crossing permit fees. Currently, foe county requires a pemiit from utility companies such as water, electric, gas and telephone when they cut across county raids. "This tells us where they are making crossings, we can inspect the work involved and make sure it's done right," he said. The county has been issuing permits since the 1960s, however Homseth sifted commissioners why the county in 1978 started charging only w*er companies the $4 per linear foot permit fee and excluded the other utility companies.
