April seems to be "Grilled Paella Month" around here, with me making my third Saturday paella in a row. This paella was also accompanied by another gazpacho, this time Gazpacho Oriental which added a few different ingredients to a traditional gazpacho. Both came from the Paella, Paella cookbook. What is nice about the gazpacho, is that you make it the day before, refrigerate it and pull it out just before you're ready to serve your meal. This let me concentrate on the paella and made for a less complicated cook. I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the prep story. But before I do I will jump ahead to the end results.
I am probably the biggest carnivore of the lot and I loved this Vegetarian Paella. It had great flavor, and wide variety of flavors. It also had the best soccorat of any paella I've made. It was extra crunchy on the bottom and I think this was because I cranked the heat up on the grill little bit. The day was very cold and windy, with temperatures barely getting out of the 40s. So I had dialed up the heat a little bit to compensate. After three paellas in a row, I thought this run was over. To my great surprise as we were starting in on dessert, I was asked what paella I would be making next week. I asked if people weren't getting sick of the paella and they said absolutely not. Each one is a different from the one before and they also make great leftovers. So it looks like my paella run will continue. Onto the pictures:
On Friday I started the gazpacho Oriental. The ingredients consisted of: medium tomatoes, green bell pepper, cucumber, zucchini, vegetable broth, Tabasco sauce, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and olive oil.
The tomatoes were cored quartered, and seeded and the cucumber and zucchini were sliced so that they would fit into the food processor. The veggies were processed in two batches together with half the liquids.
In this picture the first batch of veggies is in the soup tureen, and the second batch has just been processed in the food processor.
Here is a close-up of the second batch of gazpacho in the food processor. Yes it's as tasty as it looks. the gazpacho gets refrigerated overnight and is served cold the next day together with some garnish.
It is now Saturday and I've gathered the ingredients for the paella. The ingredients consist of: green, red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, medium tomatoes, onion, garlic, scallions, frozen peas, lemon juice, quartered artichoke hearts, vegetable broth, Bomba rice and olive oil.
Everything is out at the grill and the grill has been preheated to medium heat plus an extra notch on the temperature knobs. This was due to the extremely cold temperatures for this time year, and the high winds. The tomatoes and onions have been diced, and the bell pepper was cut into strips.
The vegetable broth is gently warming on the side burner. With the high winds, I was keeping a close eye on things to make sure the flame didn't blow out.
Step one is to heat olive oil in the paella pan until it is shimmering.
Then the onion and garlic were added and sautéed.
The next step was to add the rice. This was an interesting switch from the normal sequence where I would've expected to be sautéing the bell peppers next. But instead the bomba rice went on just after the onion and garlic and was cooked for about five minutes.
The rice was cooked for five minutes, and then the bell peppers and diced tomatoes went on.
Here is a close-up showing the great color this paella took on after the bell peppers and tomatoes were added and were thoroughly mixed together.
The heated vegetable broth has been added and the ingredients of been thoroughly mixed and distributed throughout the paella pan. Now the lid goes down for 20 minutes and the paella cooks until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is cooked.
While the paella is cooking for 20 minutes, I returned to the kitchen to work on the artichoke hearts. The quartered artichoke hearts are drizzled with lemon juice just before going onto the paella.
It has been 20 minutes and the paella is just about done. The smell out in the backyard was truly amazing!
The next up was to add some thawed frozen peas and the artichoke hearts onto the paella, Which is cooked for an additional five minutes.
Here is a close-up of the newly added peas and artichoke hearts.
After five minutes of additional cooking the paella is done. I could tell by the black stains around the perimeter of the paella pan that it was going to have a good soccorat (crusty rice at the bottom).
Time to eat! The paella is served right in its pan, which is brought straight from the grill to the table and placed in the grass mat holder. The gazpacho came out of the refrigerator and went straight to the table with some lo mein noodles and finely chopped scallions serving as a garnish.
The gazpacho was very tasty and had a little more cucumber/zucchini flavor than the gazpacho we had last week. Until recently the concept of cold soup was alien to me and I really couldn't imagine it tasting as good as it does.
Here's a close-up of the paella. You can see the burn marks on the perimeter of the paella pan which were a sign I was in for a treat in terms of achieving a good soccorat
This paella was very tasty despite having no meat in it. One sign of success was that people were asking what paella I was going to make we're next week. So it looks like I'll be having paella once again.

The Rockets have declined their option for Jordan Hill for the 12-13 season.
"They did not pick it up," his agent Kevin Bradbury said in an interview with FOX 26 Sports. "I think for Jordan it'll be an opportunity for him to test the free agent market.
"Obviously as long as he continues to play the way he's playing, there'll be a market for him out there."
Hill would have made $3.632 million next year.

Despite being a first-year team, the Williamstown High School dance team brought home first place honors.
They won the national championship for hip-hop division and placed second in the pom-pom division at the Cheer Elite's Bluegrass National Championships March 5 in Lexington.
Coach Angie Williams said she couldn't believe it when they announced Williamstown to come up on stage.
15 Years Ago
March 7,1996
Grant County junior Danny McMahon was named athlete of the week in the Grant County News for setting a school record with 15 assists in one game.
25 Years Ago
March 6, 1986
When: March 5
Where: Heritage Hall Convention Center, Lexington
What: The Williamstown dance team's pom-pom and hip-hop categories will perform at the national event in Lexington. The meet will be taped and sent to local cable access channels in the summer and will be broadcasted throughout the rest of the year.
Grant County senior golfer Kodi Hall will be heading to Cleveland to play golf for Ursuline College after signing her national letter of intent Feb. 23.
For Hall it relieves a lot of stress knowing she has committed.
"It's that time of year when colleges are setting their deadlines," she said "Now that I have the letter of intent signed, I can enjoy the time with friends and family before heading to college."
As the final seconds ran down to zero, the careers of Haley Rothwell, Chelsea West and Tori Wilhoit came to an end for Lady Demons' basketball, falling 54-34 to Walton-Verona Feb. 22 at Simon Kenton High School.
The evening didn't start out well for Williamstown as they only mustered two points in the first quarter and trailed 15-2.
It was not exactly what West was expecting going into the game.
The Braves wanted their season to continue beyond the first round of the 32nd district tournament, but it just wasn't meant to be, as they fell to Walton-Verona 60-48 Feb. 22 at Simon Kenton High School.
"When it gets time for playoffs, I always say the first one to 50 wins," Braves coach Jim Hicks said. "Walton-Verona beat us to 50."
Hicks said his team's youth showed and that Grant County set out what they wanted to do by getting more shots than Walton-Verona (54-40). The shots just didn't go in for the Braves.
Grant County High School honored seniors of all the winter sports before the Grant County/Lloyd Memorial game.
Here are the list of seniors from each sport.
Cheerleading: Karri Edmondson, Ashley Long, Emily Riley, Briana Shandel
Wrestling: Jake Clise, Nick Cox, Austin Beard-Ruth
Basketball: Josh Blackburn, Brittany Hearn, Logan Kidwell, Seneca Sullivan
Dance: Christianna Smith, Deya Torres (not pictured, due to illness)
After losing their final regular season game to Owen County Feb. 18, Lady Braves coach Darrell Guffey said his girls need to play four quarters of basketball to get better.
The same instance occurred in the 32nd District Tournament first round as Grant County fell to Simon Kenton 50-31 Feb. 21.
"We played really well for three quarters," Guffey said. "If you take away the second quarter we outscored Simon Kenton 39-36."
The size and speed of the Pioneers was too much for the Demons as they lost 73-37 in the first round of the 32nd District Tournament Feb. 21 at Simon Kenton High School in Independence.
Simon Kenton started the game on a 13-0 run coasting to the finish in a game that was never close.
Williamstown coach Steve Sigmon was unhappy with the team's performance right off the bat, as he called a timeout just a minute into the game with the score just 2-0.
As the pre-game ceremony began for the Lady Braves seniors Brittany Hearn, Logan Kidwell and Seneca Sullivan, it marked the end of all of the players that were on the team when coach Darrell Guffey came to Grant County in 2006.
For Guffey, it is tough to see them go.
"They are such great girls," he said. "They are special to us and they will always be in our hearts."

London Fashion Week Spring 2014 Street Style
"Both ballet and fashion are art forms about making something beautiful," says New York City Ballet principal dancer Janie Taylor. "They can really complement each other's work." The evidence? Costumes designed by Prabal Gurung, Olivier Theyskens, and Iris van Herpen for NYCB's 2013 Fall Gala in September, and Joseph Altuzarra, Valentino, J. Mendel, Rodarte, and Stella McCartney in seasons past. The designers who aren't creating garments for the stage are swirling ballet into their collections, from tutu-style skirts at Balmain to tie-up pumps at Ralph Lauren. When the two worlds collide, the result is the most graceful trend of the season, barre none. —Jessica Minkoff

Joao Da Silva Rego Sosa
I really enjoy the study of physics. There just is not any other science which is as interesting and features as much to learn about. I seldom find myself bored when I am reading on some aspect of physics in a book or magazine, or even doing physics homework. I also enjoy the challenge that comes from trying to understand the physics that I learn. This challenge can seldom be met by say history or memorizing the anatomy of animal. The thing I enjoy most about physics is the fact that what I learn are the laws and relationships of the universe. Physics gives me the opportunity to understand such things as music and sunshine. I really can't ask for more.

Nutrient to Know: Vitamin B12by Dana Angelo White in Uncategorized, June 5, 2012
There are a lot of misconceptions about this vitamin. Get the facts about B-12.
What is it?
Less commonly known as "cobalamin" this water-soluble vitamin is almost always found in multi-vitamins and B-complex supplements. Unlike most other water-soluble vitaminss, B-12 requires stomach acid for absorption. It's also stored within the body for many years, unlike others like riboflavin and thiamin that are quickly passed in the urine.
Why is it good for you?
Your body needs B-12 to help form DNA, to build your nervous system and keep red blood cells healthy. Since the body likes to store B-12, large amounts of supplements are often not necessary – there's just one catch. B-12 is mostly found in animal products, so folks that follow a long-term vegan diet might need to consider a daily supplement. Since you need stomach acid for absorption, your ability to break it down decreases with age. Folks who take a lots of antacids will also need to up their intake to make sure they're getting enough.
Where can you find it?
The daily requirement for B-12 is 6 micrograms per day and it can be found in all kinds of foods including daily, meat, fish, eggs and fortified breakfast cereals.
B12-Rich Foods
3-ounces cooked clams = 84 micrograms (1400%)
3-ounces cooked salmon = 5 micrograms (83%)
1 cup fortified cereal (such as bran flakes ) = 1.5 milligrams (25%)
1 cup low fat (1%) milk = 1.2 micrograms (20%)
1 ounce Swiss cheese = 0.9 micrograms (15%)
1 large egg 0.6 micrograms (10%)
3-ounces cooked turkey breast = 0.3 micrograms (5%)

Young people are bearing the brunt of Australia's high real estate costs and are much more likely to encounter "housing stress", according to new research.
One in five Australians aged 15 to 24 spend more than 30 per cent of their income on rents and mortgages, compared to just one in 10 for the overall population, the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling has found.
Monash University student Hiba Casablanca pays around half of her weekly income on housing costs for her shared student house in Melbourne.
Ms Casablanca, who works part-time at the university and receives youth allowance for study, said the expense siphoned off money she would otherwise spend on other living expenses.
"I definitely struggle at the start of the month when my rent is due," said the 24-year old. "I forego food, entertainment, clothing."
Her housemates understood because many of them had to cut back on expenditures to make up the shortfall between their income and housing costs as well, she said.
Cutting back on spending
University students, young people living away from their parents, or youth transitioning from foster care faced twice the risk of finding themselves in a form of housing stress than the general population, according to Australians for Affordable Housing.
"Housing stress puts thousands of young people on the brink of financial crisis every single week," said Sarah Toohey, campaign manager for AAH.
She said the housing, welfare and community sector organisations that back AAH said that it wasn't uncommon for university students to dramatically cut back on spending for clothes, food, even for medical care because of rental and mortgage costs.
AAH, which commissioned the research, defined "housing stress" as occurring for those among the bottom 40 per cent of households by earnings that pay more than 30 per cent of their income for housing.
For someone in the lowest 40 per cent of the population in terms of income, a 30 per cent cost did not leave room for much else, said AAH director Toohey.
Housing stress puts thousands of young people on the brink of financial crisis every single week.
"For example - Youth Allowance for a young person living independently is $201 per week plus a maximum rate of rent assistance at $60 per week giving a total income of $261 per week.
"If you could find a place to rent at 30 per cent of that income (which is $78 per week - and I suspect you can't) - you'd have just $26 a day to live on.
"Most people paying market rents would end up living on less than that," she said.
Underscoring the difficulties, three out of four Youth Allowance recipients receiving rental assistance were still in housing stress after they received the payment, said Ms Toohey.
"With so many young people in housing stress and locked out of the housing market altogether, future generations desperately need state and federal governments to fix our broken housing system," said Ms Toohey.
Australia's housing market, considered among the priciest in the world, has driven up the cost of living and the cost of doing business in capital cities where the bulk of the population lives.
More casual work
While Australia's unemployment rate remains a low 5.2 per cent, the growth of part-time and casual work has become a defining characteristic of the labour market in recent years, particularly for younger and low-skilled workers.
Using data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Australian Council of Trade Unions said that 21 per cent of people aged 15-19 were casual workers, while just under 60 per cent were under 35 years old.
Casual workers were highly represented in industries that rely on younger workers, the ACTU said, with young people making up 65 per cent of accommodation and food workers, and 40 per cent in retail.
The larger trend of a casualised workforce, which has gradually shaped the labour market, resulted in 32 per cent of financially stressed 24-year-olds in full-time study asking families for financial help in 2007, while 8 per cent went without meals, according to data from the Foundation for Young Australians.
Of those financially stressed, 12 per cent had to borrow money to live on, while 14 per cent said they couldn't pay some bills, the FYA said.
Last year, the Australian Bureau of Statistics calculated that about 1.3 million workers aged 15 or older not in the workforce wanted more work.

Hi Friends,
Now that I am once again starting chemo, what is your experience as to how often a CAT Scan or MRI should be scheduled to see if the chemo is working?
Prayers for all,
I get scanned about every 3 months. I usually get MRI of the liver area, but now that there is something they want to look at in the pelvic region, they did a CT. Now who knows why, it maybe because that was the machine available, but it could be that different scans are better at looking at solid organs like the liver and others are better at looking other organs.
Hi Sophie! So do all these pictures mean you are a movie star? Since Teddy's Whipple he has had a scan every 3 months and an MRI once a year. He saw the ONC every 3 months and just before each visit total LAB work. Not sure what the regime will be when this radiation is over. Hopefully it will be successful and we will return to the natural order of things!
Hi Sophie,
I agree with Hris and Lainy onthe every three months and once a year MRI. I also feel that a chemo regimen for three months is suffucient time to know if it is holding things stable or reducing .If not I would push to try something else. My opinion is there is no sense in subjecying your body and wearing it iut if something is not working. Some oncoligist like to push it to the limit until it has really accumulated to highand all you get is more side effects but no efficacy in my opinion.
Bless Ya girl,
Jeff G.
Hi Sophie, Charlie is on IV oxaliplatin and oral Xeloda. He has a CT scan every 6 weeks now. The IV chemo is given every 21 days. I like this better than every 3 months for him because we're trying to figure out if this chemo regimen is effective. So far, last CT showed tiny shrinkage in 1 tumor and stability in the rest, but the chemo itself is taking such a toll on him. Lots of big decisions need to be made this next CT. Keep on taking even if tumors are stable? Let Charlie have a break from all this? Hard questions we all have to face. Generally the scans every 3 months is a good rule to go by. Take care of yourself.
Thank you Carol, Jeff. Lainy and Devoncat
I shall insist, "Dr. I have it upon extreme authority that you must give me a CAT scan every 3 months or else."
Prayers for all,
Kris.....most likely they are using a scan which can capture a 3D image of the area (generally, an organ) quickly and with reduced x-ray exposure.
Hi Sophie,
My husbad has an MRI every three months. I don't know why but they feel it picks up changes better I guess.When he went to Pittsburgh 18 months ago they did a cat scan. I'd almost like to have him go there again and get scanned just to make sure OSU isn't missing anything. Mary

The Post-9/11 World Is A Detriment To Humanity
November 10, 2010
The Post-9/11 World Is A Detriment To Humanity
* In America, the Constitution is being forgotten with the passage of bills like the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act. Americans are forced to wonder if their conversations are being monitored through the use of illegal wiretapping. The freedom of the press, and the right to peacefully assemble is being discarded.
* Hatred towards Muslims and Jews is being fueled.
* Executive Power within the United States is being expanded to the point of near-dictatorship, and accountability for the actions of the Executive, and other members of Government is non-existent.
* A constant state of fear is the norm.
* Billions upon billions are being spent on the previously mentioned wars, and things that are needed for the people are being forgotten about.
* Soldiers are dying, are being subjected to multiple tours of duty, are being exposed to depleted uranium and chemical weapons, are suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, are committing suicide at an astounding rate, are being fed propaganda in order to murder innocents, and are having their families destroyed.
The event that created the "Post-9/11 World" was the attacks of September 11th, 2001.
Every effort has been made by the American Government to conceal the truth about what happened that day. The "Joint Congressional Inquiry" was "limited in scope" thanks to the efforts of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. The "PENTTBOM" investigation failed to address a number of the families' questions. The "9/11 Commission" was compromised from beginning to end, and was headed by Philip Zelikow, someone the families called for the resignation of during the 9/11 Commission, someone who re-wrote the 9/11 Report to be more favorable of his good friend Condoleezza Rice, someone that tried to insert a false link into the 9/11 Report between Iraq and 9/11, someone that shied people away from the NSA, someone that shied people away from Saudi Arabia's possible involvement in the attacks, someone that is alleged to have taken the direction of Karl Rove, someone who wrote the preemptive war strategy mentioned above, someone who should never have been anywhere near the 9/11 Commission.
If the event that created the "Post-9/11 World" wasn't what we were led to believe, and based on available information at sites like www.historycommons.org or www.911truthnews.com it was NOT what we were led to believe, then we need to expose that truth to hopefully end the "Post-9/11 World," and restore this country, and this world, to a more peaceful and productive society.
As Dr. Martin Luther King said, a time comes when silence is betrayal.
Now is that time. For the 2,973 people brutally murdered that day, for their families, for the 9/11 First Responders that are sick and dying, for the millions displaced or killed in the Middle East, we MUST expose the 9/11 Cover-Up and end the insanity of the "Post-9/11 World."
It is very simply the right thing to do.

The Jazz Loft Project: W. Eugene Smith in NYC, 1957-1965
19 May, 2012 - 7 Oct, 2012
In 1957, W. Eugene Smith, a former photographer at Life magazine, moved out of the home he shared with his wife and four children in Croton-on-Hudson, New York and moved into a dilapidated, five-story loft building at 821 Sixth Avenue in New York City's wholesale flower district. 821 Sixth Avenue was a late-night haunt of musicians, including some of the biggest names in jazz—Charles Mingus, Zoot Sims, Bill Evans, and Thelonious Monk among them—and countless fascinating, underground characters.
Between 1957 and 1965 W. Eugene Smith made approximately 40,000 exposures both inside the loft building at 821 Sixth Avenue, of the nocturnal jazz scene, and of the street below as seen through his fourth-floor window. He also wired the building like a surreptitious recording studio and made 1,740 reels (4,000 hours) of stereo and mono audiotapes, capturing more than three hundred musicians, among them Roy Haynes, Sonny Rollins, Bill Evans, Roland Kirk, Alice Coltrane, Don Cherry, and Paul Bley. He also recorded legends such as pianists Eddie Costa, and Sonny Clark, drummers Ronnie Free and Edgar Bateman, saxophonist Lin Halliday, bassist Henry Grimes, and multi-instrumentalist Eddie Listengart.

Thank you for all the get well wishes - they worked temporarily but then this week they wore off. We had a big old family Christmas planned - the first time in years we would have almost all been together on Christmas Day. Unfortunately the world had other plans and as a result of illness both at our house and at my poor sister's, we'll be at home. While I am currently well, I am tired - I wrote down the dosage to give Tall Small this morning as her temperature hit 39C AGAIN and walked downstairs and couldn't remember whether or not I'd actually given her the medicine.
Still, there is an end in sight, we hope, and in between alternating doses of Calpol and Calprofen the Smalls are in good spirits. And we had a delivery of heating oil today (thank you Team Flitwick!), and Mr DC braved the supermarket so we will have a proper dinner tomorrow instead of fishfingers.
Before it all kicked off, last weekend we had a lovely party for little people and decorated a small village of gingerbread houses and made sparkling crystal snowmen and Christmas trees.
So, there's a lot to be grateful for, and we will hang our stockings up this evening and have a lovely time tomorrow, albeit not as planned. I hope you're all well, and happy, and that your Christmas is really, really wonderful.

During VMworld 2013, VMware kept the spotlight on its next generation enterprise solutions. Across the first two days of the show, the company's keynote addresses showcased the software-defined datacenter, vCloud Hybrid Service, network virtualization with NSX, and its software-defined storage platform, Virtual SAN. And not to be out done, VMware also announced the latest release of vSphere, version 5.5.
While these technologies are great, what seemed to be missing from the announcements at VMworld was anything new about the desktop. But on the heels of the world's largest virtualization event, VMware quietly announced an update to the desktop virtualization product that originally brought the company to the virtualization dance in the first place: VMware Workstation.
[ Also on InfoWorld: CommVault announces VM Archiving to eliminate VM sprawl | Review: New Parallels, Fusion virtual desktops for OS X fail the smell test | Track the latest trends in virtualization in InfoWorld's Virtualization Report newsletter ]
VMware Workstation was first released in 1999, and it was the company's first official product on the market to prove that x86 virtualization was possible. Desktop virtualization allowed users to run various versions of Microsoft Windows or different distributions of Linux operating systems in a virtual machine on a PC device. And it became a spring board for the server virtualization technology that has completely transformed the modern datacenter.
With Workstation 10, VMware is introducing several major enhancements and additions, including Windows 8.1 guest OS support. This latest release could end up playing a key role within corporations as they continue to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7 and now Windows 8.1. And Workstation could also prove important to those companies currently in evaluation mode and still trying to learn the ins and outs of Windows 8.1.
Under the hood, VMware has souped up Workstation in a big way. Workstation 10 now supports the new virtual hardware version introduced in vSphere 5.5. This latest virtual hardware increases virtual machine support for up to 16 vCPUs, 8 TB SATA disks, 64GB of memory and up to 20 virtual networks. Personally, I'd love to own the beefy desktop machine that can support this new maximum sized virtual machine. And I wonder just how many people will actually be able to take full advantage of these new VM limits.
Also in the performance category, VMware has added support for a new Virtual SATA disk controller, SSD pass through and USB3 support allowing faster file copying. The company also claims to have improved application and Windows VM startup times. And speaking for those people who dislike watching Windows and its applications boot up, I look forward to seeing any progress made in that arena.
What could end up being a nice feature add-on is the ability to convert a physical computer running Windows 8.1 into a virtual machine via an easy-to-use P2V wizard. This may not be an often used feature, but if you receive a new machine, it should prove extremely helpful with the migration of the new computer over to a VM.

Blogger Spotlight: Ashley McLaughlin from Edible Perspectiveby Allison Milam in Uncategorized, August 3, 2012
Coupling healthful recipes with stellar photography, Edible Perspective's Ashley McLaughlin sees food not only as something to eat, but something beautiful to look at as well. With a passion for recipe development in particular, she focuses on vegan and gluten-free combinations that are completely natural. With her dSLR camera by her side, this blog is Ashley's way of documenting and sharing her wholesome recipes.
How did Edible Perspective come to be?
Edible Perspective actually started to avoid boredom. Nearly 3 years ago, my husband and I decided to make a cross-country move from Charlotte, NC to Denver, CO. He was unemployed and I was ready for a change, so we decided to make the trek out west. We lived with Chris's brother and wife for the first four months and searched for jobs day in and day out. Chris was looking for a job in Civil Engineering, and I was on my way to becoming a licensed Architect. While job searching I decided to cook for the family each night as a token of our appreciation for letting us stay in their home. I knew absolutely zilch about photography and a little bit about cooking. After previously writing off Chris's "fancy" dSLR camera, I decided to pick it up and start documenting my creations. Since that day my life has been anything but predictable.
Why do you link cooking and photography?
You eat with your eyes first! Being able to show people what they're going to eat before they make it really helps sell a recipe. The tricky part is making it look appetizing; not all foods look good on camera. It's been quite the process learning how to shoot with a dSLR camera. I learn something new every single day and will never know it all. It is rewarding to look at my earlier posts–also slightly embarrassing–and see the progression I've made.
How has keeping a blog changed the way you eat, and changed your life in general?
I think it keeps our meals more varied and helps me avoid food ruts. I'm always thinking about food and trying to come up with new ideas for my readers. It has also made me experiment more than I would have otherwise. Food blogging has helped me become more aware of the food I'm consuming and in turn, has made me healthier and more creative in the kitchen.
How does a recipe come to be? What's a particular brainstorm like?
I don't like to sit and think about recipes too much because they can tend to feel forced. Most of my ideas come to me while I'm shopping, by reading other blogs, or from being hooked on a certain food or flavor. Some recipes are a complete accident and some are complete failures.
What do you hope for Edible Perspective's future? How do you want it to evolve?
EP has evolved an incredible amount in the past (almost) 3 years. My focus right now is on food photography and creating and sharing quality recipes. The hope is that EP will continue to grow and allow for more photography and recipe opportunities in the future. But who really knows? Only time will tell! It's exciting to not have an exact plan.
What is your favorite part about writing a blog?
It is so hard to choose just one thing! I would definitely say the fantastic people it has connected me with and the opportunities that have come from it. Never in a million years would I have imagined myself on this path. It can be exciting and frustrating all at the same time. The journey has been slow, but it is an amazing feeling to finally have direction and focus. Trying to create my own career through the blog and photography has been the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life but also the most rewarding. The support from family, friends and most importantly my husband has been immeasurable and extremely appreciated.

Diabetes is a condition that affects how insulin is produced and used
in the body. Insulin is a hormone that controls blood sugar. When you have
diabetes, your body does not produce enough insulin or can't use it
properly. Over time, this condition can speed up the hardening and narrowing
(atherosclerosis) of the coronary arteries. This results
in coronary artery disease.
People who have diabetes are more likely to have coronary artery disease than people who do not have diabetes.
If you have diabetes and coronary artery disease, there are things you can do to help lower your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Manage your diabetes and have a healthy lifestyle. Be active. Take medicines to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and don't smoke.footnote 1

Kandahar is starting to feel a lot like Baghdad. Tall concrete blast walls, like those that surround the green zone, are seemingly everywhere. United States soldiers supervise checkpoints on all main roads leading into Kandahar. Residents are urged to apply for new identification cards that require them to have their retinas scanned and fingerprints recorded.
To counter the Taliban's influence in the city, US and NATO commanders are turning to population-control tactics employed in the Iraqi capital during the 2007 troop surge to separate warring Sunnis and Shiites. They are betting that such measures can help separate insurgents from the rest of the population, an essential first step in the US-led campaign to improve security in and around Afghanistan's second-largest city.
''If you don't have control of the population, you can't secure the population,'' said Brigadier-General Frederick Hodges, director of operations for the NATO regional command in southern Afghanistan.
In Baghdad, checkpoints, ID cards and walled-off communities helped to reduce violence because there were two feuding factions, riven by sect. Carving the city into a collection of separate Sunni and Shiite neighbourhoods allowed US forces to place themselves along the borders. Both sides tolerated the tactics to a degree because they came to believe US troops would protect them from their rivals.
The conflict in Kandahar is far murkier. There are no differences in religion or ethnicity. Nearly everyone is a Sunni Pashtun. There are divisions among tribes and clans but they are not a reliable indicator of support for the Taliban. And many residents regard US forces as the cause of the growing instability, rather than the solution to it.
Military officials hope the measures will make it more difficult for the Taliban to bring munitions into the city and to attack key government buildings. Biometric scans will allow soldiers at checkpoints to apprehend anyone whose fingerprints are in a database of suspected insurgents. ''Just because Afghanistan is different from Iraq, it doesn't mean you can't use techniques that worked well there,'' Hodges said.
Another tactic soon to be copied in Kandahar involves serious outlays from a discretionary fund that commanders can use to pay for quick-turnaround reconstruction projects. General David Petraeus, the former top commander in Iraq who recently took charge of the US and NATO mission in Afghanistan, called such money ''a weapon system''.
The US Defence Secretary, Robert Gates, has authorised Petraeus to spend $US227 million ($248 million) from the fund - the largest single expenditure to date - to pay for new generators and millions of litres of diesel to bolster the electricity supply in Kandahar. Top military officers in Afghanistan support the costly effort because they think providing more power will lead residents to view their government more favourably, which is a key element of the counterinsurgency campaign.
But some US civilian officials in the country question whether more electricity, which will be directed to businesses, will win over residents. The officials maintain the US will have to keep shelling out millions of dollars a month for diesel or risk further wrath from Kandaharis because a hoped-for hydro-electric project intended to replace the generators will take years to complete.
Contractors working for the NATO regional command have installed 7000 concrete slabs - each 2.4 metres wide - around the governor's palace and the mayor's office, along main roads and in front of police stations. Demand for the walls is so high that several manufacturing sites have sprung up on the highway heading towards the airport.
Military officials say informal surveys of residents show significant support for walls and checkpoints, but local leaders are uneasy. Kandahar's Governor, Tooryalai Wesa, told Hodges that he does not want parts of the city to turn into another Baghdad green zone.
Municipal workers have registered about 20,000 residents in the biometric database and provided them with plastic ID cards. However, the President, Hamid Karzai, put the registration on hold last week because of concerns over privacy rights, military officials said.
Among other grievances, residents near checkpoints say electronic jamming equipment used by soldiers to combat remote-controlled bombs interferes with their mobile phones. Shopkeepers are losing business.
''Since they put the cement walls up, security is better, but nobody is coming to our shops,'' an elderly man named Rafiullah told Hodges as he visited his small stall next to a checkpoint on the western border.
Last month, three US soldiers and four Afghan interpreters were killed when two suicide bombers stormed a police headquarters building. It had not been fully encircled with concrete walls.
Hodges said the checkpoints had forced insurgents to find alternative routes into the city, either through the desert or on dirt paths, which limit what they can transport and how quickly they can move. ''Will we stop everyone? No,'' he said. ''But it is having an effect. The enemy is having to change their movements.''
The Taliban are also seeking to place new obstacles for US and Afghan forces. In the Arghandab district north of Kandahar, the insurgents have seeded pomegranate groves and vineyards with homemade anti-personnel mines; several soldiers have been maimed by them over the past two weeks.
Commanders are wrestling with the option of razing some fields to remove the bombs, which would eliminate many farmers' livelihoods, or assume more risk by leaving the crops untouched.
Population control worked to the extent it did in Baghdad because each side believed the other posed a threat and turned to the US for security. In many parts of southern and eastern Afghanistan, the population has yet to seek protection.

US stocks rose, following the worst weekly drop since June, as investors awaited budget talks in Washington and results of a European meeting on Greek aid. Industrial metals rose as China's exports topped forecasts.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which tumbled 2.4 percent last week, was up 0.2 percent at 1,382.96 at 1:36 p.m. in New York. US bond markets were closed for a holiday. A gauge of industrial metals in the S&P GSCI Index of commodities increased 1.6 percent as aluminum, zinc and lead rallied. The yuan reached a 19-year high while Australia's currency gained against 15 of 16 major peers and New Zealand's dollar rose versus all 16.
Investors watched for developments in the US federal budget debate as lawmakers from both parties and firms such as Pacific Investment Management Co. predicted an agreement to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff. China's exports jumped 11.6 percent last month, the customs administration said on Nov. 10. European finance ministers meet today after Greek lawmakers passed a 2013 budget needed to unlock bailout funds.
"We're watching the news headlines which will all be about the fiscal cliff for the next six weeks," Thomas Nyheim, a Wilmington, Delaware-based fund manager for Christiana Trust, which oversees about $US15 billion, said in a phone interview. "There's a high probability that they will do a deal. It's more a matter of the timing. The longer it goes, the more they seem to be in disagreement before cutting a deal, the more negative the market will begin to react."
Market Leaders
Among US stocks, telephone, health-care and industrial companies led gains among nine of the 10 main industry groups in the S&P 500. The index reversed a decline of as much as 0.2 percent seen in morning trading.
United Technologies Corp., Cisco Systems Inc. and AT&T Inc. rose more than 1 percent to lead gains in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Jefferies Group Inc. jumped 12 percent after Leucadia National Corp. said it will buy the investment bank. Titanium Metals Corp. surged 42 percent after Precision Castparts Corp. agreed to buy the maker of melted products.
The S&P 500 has slumped more than 3 percent since President Barack Obama's re-election set up a showdown with the Republican-controlled House of Representatives over the fiscal cliff, which threatens to trigger $US607 billion in tax increases and spending cuts. Obama invited the top Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress to the White House this week to begin talks on a budget plan.
Should policy makers fail to reach an agreement, the automatic spending cuts and tax increases could send the US into a recession and trigger a second credit downgrade, according to Oppenheimer & Co. S&P cut its AAA rating in August 2011 after an impasse on the debt ceiling.
'Second Downgrade'
"Even though the US has already weathered a downgrade earlier in the process of the current economic recovery, a second downgrade might not be as easily digested or received by the markets and foreign investors as the first," John Stoltzfus, chief market strategist at Oppenheimer, wrote in a note today.
David Bianco, Deutsche Bank AG's chief US equity strategist, said the next 5 percent move in the S&P 500 is likely up and advised clients to use the dip to buy growth stocks. He cut his 2012 estimate for the benchmark index to 1,450 from 1,475, while reiterating a 12-month forecast of 1,500.
"We still believe that the fiscal cliff will be averted with compromise legislation, but President Obama's re-election and a larger Democrat majority in Senate raise the likely amount of tax hikes vs. spending cuts in the new legislation," Bianco wrote in a Nov. 9 report.
Metals Gain
Copper rebounded from near the lowest close since August and aluminum surged 2.5 percent. China is the biggest buyer of copper and aluminum. Oil in New York slipped 0.3 percent to $US85.85 a barrel. Soybeans declined as much as 3.4 percent to $US14.02 a bushel, the lowest since June.
The Australian dollar rose 0.4 percent versus the US currency and New Zealand's dollar strengthened 0.5 percent. The euro was little changed at $US1.2713, near a two-month low.
China's yuan strengthened to 6.2295 per dollar. The central bank raised its reference rate and the securities regulator said a government quota will be increased to allow more yuan raised overseas to be invested in domestic capital markets.
Telecom Italia
In Europe, Telecom Italia SpA climbed 4.2 percent as a person with direct knowledge of the bid said Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris, founder of Orascom Telecom Holding SAE, offered to purchase a stake in the Italian phone company. Cobham Plc tumbled 9.7 percent as the world's largest maker of airborne-refueling equipment forecast weaker sales and profitability next year.
Greece may need as much as 32.6 billion euros ($US41 billion) in extra financing through 2016, putting pressure on a German- led bloc of creditors to make concessions in order to prevent a renewed flareup of the European debt crisis.
Plans to give Greece two more years to meet deficit- reduction targets would open up financing gaps of 15 billion euros through 2014 and 17.6 billion euros in 2015-2016, according to an assessment by the country's creditors that was obtained by Bloomberg News.
The MSCI Asia Pacific dropped 0.4 percent and the Nikkei 225 Stock Average slid 0.9 percent after a report showed Japan's economy contracted last quarter by the most since the earthquake and tsunami in early 2011.
Four stocks fell for every three that gained in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which slipped 0.2 percent. India's Sensex lost less than 0.1 percent after industrial production unexpectedly fell, while Russia's Micex Index increased 0.5 percent. Brazil's Bovespa index lost 0.3 percent. South Korea's Kospi Index slipped 0.2 percent. The Shanghai Composite Index climbed 0.5 percent.

Guardian Posts Fukushima Film: Reactors not repaired at all — With one more quake Japan will cease to exist; Resulting destruction will take half of planet along with it (VIDEO)
By ENENews
November 16th, 2012
Title: CPM-703: After Fukushima
Source: The Guardian
Author: Jake Price
Date: 16 November 2012
An in-depth portrait into the lives of a population living under the constant threat of radiation in Fukushima, Japan. The film, a work in progress directed by Jake Price, focuses on Fukushima born Shimpei Takeda who was living in New York and working as a visual artist when the Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant began to meltdown.
Being born in Fukushima Prefecture I took on a mission to create a physical record of the worst man made nuclear accident in history… Using a cameraless process, I want to capture the current state Japan directly, by exposing photo-sensitive material to traces of radiation emitted from contaminated particles.
I'm afraid Japan will follow in the footsteps of ancient civilizations that vanished like the Egyptians, Mayans and Mesopotamians that came before us.
The tsunami and earthquake well they're just the earth shivering. The problem is the disaster that man has made.
There are so many possibilities of a tsunami and earthquake happening again. The damaged reactors haven't been repaired yet… the haven't been repaired at all.
The resulting destruction will take half the planet along with it. …With one more earthquake or tsunami Japan will cease to exist.
The Rest…HERE

In the west the war wages on to make sure that women have access to safe abortions and reproductive care. The opposite is true for China. For decades now, China has sought to strictly control the rate of reproduction by limiting how many children any couple may have according to the area in which they live.
This policy has proven to be particularly dreadful for Arzigul Tursun. She is already the mother of two girls and as such, has reached the maximum children allowed under China's reproductive policy.
A STORM of international protest is building over a Chinese ruling that a Muslim Uighur woman who is six months pregnant must have an abortion or lose her home.
Chinese authorities have ordered Arzigul Tursun, who is 26 weeks pregnant, to abort her unborn child … She is under watch at the Municipal Watergate Hospital in Yining in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, which is populated heavily with Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking Muslim minority. Supporters are concerned a forced abortion at such a late stage could threaten Arzigul's health.
Forcing an abortion is just as harmful to womens physical autonomy as denying one. When the state is allowed to intervene in this way it infantalizes women. Only a patriarchal culture that believes that womens bodies should be available for forced violation would even contemplate such a policy.
Due to the international pressure that has been levied about this issue, Arzigul Tursun has yet to be injected with a medication to induce abortion. We need to keep up the outcry over this case.
The medication that will be forced upon her will make her uterus contract until she is delivered of a dead child. Imagine the horror of being forced to go through the pain of delivery against your will. Imagine the strain of the pushing, only to be rewarded with a child that is dead because the state decided that you did not have the right to control your body. This emotional and physical torture. No woman should ever have to undergo such suffering.

This may be accompanied with internal errors in Workbench, or other memory warnings and messages.
The OutOfMemoryError occurs as the server is loading all of the LC7 component configurations at the same time and sending all of this information to the Workbench client. It cannot handle this amount of data at one time, and so, throws the memory errors. The server may also be hitting some memory limitations depending on the heap size and platform (i.e. weblogic uses a lot more RAM than JBoss).
This issue has been fixed in Workbench ES 18.104.22.168 and later versions. There is a patch available for both the server and workbench 22.214.171.124. You should contact Adobe support if you require this patch.
The patch will expose a new parameter in the workbench.ini file to control the pageSize for the communication between the LiveCycle server and Workbench. You can check this parameter in <Workbench_Home>/Workbench/workbench.ini. The parameter should be set to 3 to resolve the OOM situation:
After making any such changes to the configuration of Workbench you may need to start Workbench cleaning out the temp files. You can do this by starting Workbench from the command line from the directory listed above using the -clean console command line switch.
You should also try increasing the JVM heap size for both the server and Workbench, and run Workbench on a separate machine to the LiveCycle server, if you are not already doing so.

School advocates, educators, parents and police stressed the importance of pre-kindergarten at a lobbying event Monday.
Supporters, including the Alliance for Quality Education and Citzen Action, prepared for a day of meetings with lawmakers, where the advocates would push for their support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's $25 million proposed budget allocation for pre-K. Cuomo wants to start next year by establishing full-day pre-K in high-needs districts.
Albany Police Chief Steven Krokoff and Sergeant Tracy Henry of the Albany County Sheriff's Office discussed the connections between educational failures and crime.
"We know what it costs to incarcerate someone in New York. It's about $70 a day," Krokoff said, arguing that kids who don't excel early in school often turn to crime. "It's time that we start investing earlier, and I can't think of a better time than kindergarten and early childhood education."
Raheim Smith, a father of four who lives on Long Island, said sending one or more children to day care, either in place of pre-school or for the hours not covered by half-day pre-K, is costly and stressful. He said parents, whether in high-needs districts or not, need the relief that could be provided by public full-day pre-K.
Cliff Bird, principal of Abram Lansing Elementary School in Cohoes, near Albany, said his school has offered full-day pre-K for six years.
Just like when building a house, Bird said, without a solid foundation, nothing else matters. But some schools can't even afford kindergarten, let alone pre-K, he said.
"Our school system is set up for kids to be ready when they walk in the door," Bird said. "Our society is not set up for that anymore."
"Pay now, or pay later," Bird said, agreeing that children without a good education are at risk of ending up in prison.
Few are opposed to offering full-day pre-K in New York, but the state's economy has lagged, and legislators might have other priorities.
The state Education Department proposed putting $75 million into pre-K next year. Cuomo included $75 million in his budget for education reform, but only a third of that would go to pre-K. The rest would be for extending the school day or year, building community schools, providing incentives for master teachers and supporting early-college high schools.

Deep in the darkest days of winter, a package arrives at the Megdal household that warms and brightens my life: John Sickels' annual, The Baseball Prospect Book.
For those who don't know Sickels, he studied with Bill James, and his prospecting is generally, in my opinion, about as good as it gets. This is, after all, what he does.
Thought I'd share a few tidbits about Mets prospects from the book, but really, go order this yourself.
On Cory Vaughn: "Although I think he deserves a partial injury mulligan, there are still legitimate questions about both Vaughn's ability to handle breaking balls and where he ends up defensively."
Incidentally, I am higher on Vaughn than this- think he will comfortably fit in a corner outfield spot. But Sickels is right- if he doesn't show more pop after an offseason to heal, his stock will drop, and fast.
On Reese Havens: "I think he can hit .260 in the majors, with 15 home runs and 60 walks. But can he play a full year?"
When looking at the 2012 Mets, few things can do more to help their long-term outlook than receiving a healthy season from Havens.
On Cesar Puello: "If he can get some of his plate discipline back and combine it with the power, he'll blossom. Doing that in Double-A won't be easy, but it's possible, and he's quite young."
I refuse to get excited yet about a hitter who walked 18 times and struck out 103 times in Single-A.
On Juan Urbina: "His veloity is starting to pick up, from the upper-80s into the lower 90s last year, but he has problems with location and mechanical consistency…Urbina still has a lot of time to develop, but I'm back to being cautious."
I think Sickels sells Urbina short here. His fastball improved, his walk rate was just 3.2 per 9 and his strikeout rate 7.9 per 9 in Kingsport in his age-18 season, and those splits against lefties- .419- sure look artificially high to me. Will be interesting to see what he does in 2012.
Anyhow, pick up the book. I'll let you know what I see of these minor leaguers, and others, in person next month.

>General Running>Long Run and Anxiety
Options,Account, Forums
I like nick's suggestion too -- try to take away the pressure of achieving a goal on the training run.
This doesn't work so well with a set plan and a scheduled marathon, but it might be workable with a much more flexible plan outline (*), and with, instead of a scheduled (paid for) goal marathon, a list of marathon possibilities. If you find some of the smaller ones, or fat ass style runs, that you don't have to put commitment money into ahead of time, then maybe you can remove some of the pressure of achieving specific training run distances on certain dates.
Or check out trail 50Ks - I think they generally allow later registration than big commercial marathons.
*) By a flexible plan outline, I mean something like (I'm completely making this up out of thin air):
Do something fast at least once a week. Do hills or something different fast also, during the week.
On the weekend, run long (but hopefully with some sort of fuzzy goal, that is less anxiety-inducing). If the long run doesn't work out, try it again next weekend. If it doesn't work out again, try it again. Repeat ad infinitum -- who cares if it takes a while for the long run to work out.
You could run some other race distances in the meantime, so your racing life is NOT on hold -- you're just building up a more extended base phase for your next marathon.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
I've also had issues with anxiety and the worst thing for me was always people giving me advise on how to deal with it... so here I go...
+1. I deal with a lot of anxiety myself and don't think this is really a running problem. I think you need to deal with the underlying anxiety. I don't want to play Dr. Phil here and maybe I'm misinterpreting what you've posted but... Why is completing a run so important to you that you're dreading even starting it?
"What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight – it's the fight in the dog. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
My blog is JT Running DC. It's awesome.
As others have said - don't get to hung up about the actual length of a run, be prepared to bail out if things are not going well. Perhaps knowing in advance that this option is available will help with the anxiety.
Too many runners slog through a long run because it's on some training plan beyond the point that it's actually doing any good. If you can't to a point where it's very hard to continue (for whatever reason) then there's probably little point in continuing.
The time for heroic effort in a race. Pushing yourself too far in training is counter-productive. You wont be able to recover to train well in the subsequent days. And running is supposed to be enjoyable...
This thread http://www.runningahead.com/forums/topic/6b5594801401419fa72ecd26fa1706a7/0 may offer quite a powerful option for reducing anxiety. To some extent, the issue here appears to be performance anxiety. So removing measures, and just 'going for a run' - slow, and over a longer distance, may benefit mood and performance. Just how it strikes me
I think all of the above things are good suggestions...but we also need to take into account that she runs on a treadmill (guessing in a gym on campus??) and is in medical school! yeah...I think performance based anxiety might be an issue!! Julia said it right when she said that you need to get to the very baseline issue of why you have anxiety in the first place, then you can take some of these suggestions and try to implement
I'm with Julia. I'm an anxious person and a lot of what you wrote resonates with me. This is not about running,it's bigger than that. Downsizing from marathon to (e.g.) 5k isn't going to help, you will just find a whole new set of things to obsess about. If I've read your posts correctly, you seem to have a fair amount of anxiety about food and weight intertwined with the running stuff, and my experience has been that a therapist is the best person to help you untangle all of that and become a happier athlete.
The good news is that running presents the perfect opportunity for practicing ways to overcome anxiety (e.g. By concentrating on the meditative "just me and the road" aspect) Do you have, perhaps via school,access to counselors or psychotherapists who can give you help and tips? as i said, btdt, and can't recommend it enough.
MTA: sorry if I just projected my issues onto you. It just sounds familiar!
+1. I deal with a lot of anxiety myself and don't think this is really a running problem. I think you need to deal with the underlying anxiety. I don't want to play Dr. Phil here and maybe I'm misinterpreting what you've posted but... Why is completing a run so important to you that you're dreading even starting it?
Lots of good advice, particularly about addressing any underlying issues. There probably isn't a good "quick fix." That said, have you tried covering up all the numbers on the treadmill with a towel or other object? It looks like you do about 99% of your running on a treadmill, and long runs of 15 miles or more on a treadmill would give anxiety to most people. I also saw that you posted a list of favorite songs on another thread, so if you haven't tried it already, block out the treadmill numbers, put your MP3 player on shuffle, and try running song to song. [I know, too simple, and you've probably already tried this, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case you hadn't.]
Connoisseur of Cookies
You said you were in (went to?) medical school. However, are you sure there are no underlying medical causes at play here? No doubt you're aware that the symptoms you describe could be from any number of different causes.
If this is, in fact, an issue of anxiety, performance based or otherwise, have you considered seeking out a good psychologist/therapist/counselor who can help you identify the root cause of your anxiety and help you identify coping mechanisms to help you deal with it? I understand that the pressure from medical school can bring out some unwanted characteristics in a person. Ignoring them until you're out of school isn't always the best thing to do as the issues will still be there down the road waiting for that next stressful episode to make themselves known.
You've received some good suggestions here. Finding the cause of your anxiety and moving forward in a productive manner to treat it, as opposed to just diverting or covering up the symptoms, might very well be helpful to you not just as a student and a runner but also down the road as a physician.
Just some thoughts.
"C" is for cookie. That's good enough for me.
Hey guys!
I didn't expect this many people to take an interest. Thanks!
First off, I wanted to let you know that I did get my 15-miler in this morning and felt great. My alarm went off at 3:30 so that I could get down on the treadmill, get my run in, and shower before class (maybe even get a little bit of studying in). Well, the power was out until 4:45 so I was on the treadmill at 5:15, didn't need that first class anyways. I felt great, no idea what the difference was. Maybe it was just getting on the treadmill early enough so that my mind wasn't fully aware of what I was doing, no idea, haha. I just saw that SubDood posted about putting a towel over the time and distance part of the treadmill and that was what I did this morning. I tend to try to push myself harder than I need to a lot of times so I just took that element out of it today and just ran. When I got down to the last ~1.5 miles I took the towel off and allowed myself to do my normal speeding up with each 1/4 mile on the last mile.
Now I can respond to some of the things asked.
A few people mentioned laying off marathons for awhile. My marathon is in May so I am for sure running that one but will probably take some time off of marathons during my 3rd year of medical school, though I have said that before each of my marathons and always end up signing up for another one. They are so addictive, ha.
Zelanie - I do like the idea of a range. I might have to try that. It will take pressure off of that big number so that I am not so focused on that, but as you said once you get that close you can get yourself to the full distance.
Happyfeet - You bring up a good point that running long distances on the treadmill is very tough mentally. I have actually done upwards for 26 + miles on the treadmill (26 for my 26th bday last year ) and I think the monotony may be part of the problem. On weekdays when I run I watch a show that I love in the mornings so that makes it not as bad. For long runs I will occasionally put a concert DVD on and that will help as I can just "get lost" in the performance, so to speak.
Coastal - I had never really thought about that with Higdon's plans. There is a lot of emphasis on the long run. I might change up my plan for the next one I do, I was just sticking with what I knew since I had used Higdon's novice plans for 2 previous marathons (no idea what plan I did for my first, my friends just gave me a copy of their plan). Also, I did have a special K pasty bar before my run this morning as I was starving when I woke up and I saw your post last night so I thought I would try it. I tend to not eat before my runs but before my long run it might be a good idea. Especially because I always have something small before the marathon anyways.
Seanster - I do think part of the problem is worrying about splits, times, basically numbers in general so just allowing myself to run with not caring will probably be a big help. And I don't take an SSRI but am on Bupropion, its more of a norepinephrine/dopamine reuptake inhibitor. I have found the best effect with that drug, personally.
AmoresPerros - I didn't realize about the later registration for the 50ks. It is a goal of mine to do one of those so maybe that might be a good idea to try to train for one of those in the future and see how it goes and then sign up as it gets closer to race time. That also might allow me to experiment with a flexible plan and see how that goes. I have a book called "Brain Training for Runners" that bases its training on knowing how you are feeling and going from there.
Julia - It isn't that I am dreading the run as I like running. I think it is more of a performance anxiety/confidence/overall anxiety sort of a thing.
pr100 - I do think that is my main problem, getting hung up on that "number". I start getting nervous the night before occasionally and that is the reason why. I just keep thinking about the distance, even though I know I can do it.
runathon - Skimmed through the thread, will go back and read it on a study break. I think that is a big thing. I need to learn to slow down my long runs and not worry about pace. I thought I had learned this while training for last year's marathon, but since I have been feeling so great when I am running I threw that knowledge out the window. I can now breathe through my nose thanks to a septoplasty last August and have been trying to push my pace even on my long runs, need to remember to slow my pace on the long runs.
Christirei - I run on a treadmill in my house, actually. It saves time from having to go to the gym and anything I can do to save time is big. Like you mentioned, I am in medical school and a lot of us tend to be Type A personalities. You mix that with some pretty bad anxiety and you get what is known as my life, lol.
Runharrietrun - You may have projected yourself onto me, but you also nailed it. I'll find something to obsess over. Plus, as I said I live in WV and there really aren't too many races around here (we are the unhealthiest state in the country) so running smaller races would be difficult without a lot of travel for a short race (and I am $200,000 in debt so far for medical school so not a lot of discretionary income, lol).
You are also correct about the food stuff. That is one of the main things that I will eventually get sorted out. Have been trying to figure all that stuff out for years now. The brain is a crazy thing
Cookiemoster - I am almost 100% certain there are no other medical causes (except maybe occasional hypoglycemia). When I had to take my medical leave we looked at a lot of things. We were thinking ADHD or something but after going through neuropsych testing and working with my neurologist its just some pretty bad anxiety.
As many of you mentioned it is important to find the root cause of my anxiety, which actually through this thread has brought to light numerous things that when put together could be the cause of this "performance" anxiety. Once I finish with my 2nd year of med school (and boards) I will probably try to go back to counseling as many of you have recommended. Living in a small town with limited time makes it difficult to find time or resources for that. Running is typically my "therapy" but it also tends to be what can pull me down the farthest if I don't meet my goals (I am a pretty goal oriented person). Nothing makes me happier than running but nothing makes me more disappointed in myself than not reaching my goal for a run. I know it is dumb and with some suggestions from here I am going to work on that.
Sorry for this post being so long, but since you all took the time to try to help me, I wanted to try to respond to everything. And now that you have part of my life story I would again like to apologize for the unnecessary length of the post. And sorry for any typos, my dog just woke up so I can't go back and proofread, haha.
Thanks again to everyone who has posted. You guys are awesome. If anyone has any other tips/suggestions/questions I am all ears (or eyes in this case).
Faster Than Your Couch!
I split long runs into segments: first 2-3 miles, I try to warm up and not go fast. Sometimes I recall that on one of my runs, I wanted to chicken out at 1.5 miles in, but didn't, and the rest of the run went well - hey, I can run more than these 1.5 miles, and then, well, let's just see.
Then I go maybe 2 miles, if these go well, I might speed up, or if they don't go well, then I think of previous successes in my running career to cheer me up. Another 6 miles, then it's almost done already. If the plan calls for 15 miles, I set my goal to maybe 13 miles, the rest is "optional". If things go well, I'll run it, if it is just bad, I might skip it. That reduces performance anxiety a lot, and most of the time, I reach the goal the plan calls for, or go even above.
I also run without a watch or GPS, I "just run". Difficult to do on a treadmill, though.
Stupid question: Apart from the time saving issue, why can't you do some of the runs on the roads?
Maybe you can find a running buddy (is there a local running club?), that would help with the anxiety, too. I found that talking to other people helps a lot with anxiety.
Run for fun.
Anxiety can be caused by a lot of different things and the long run might be part of what is bringing it out but not the cause (maybe). You need to figure out (as best as you can) the cause or causes of your anxiety and deal with it appropriately.
If I were you I would consider some professional medical help.
I doubt I'd put too much stock in the advice of a bunch of runners even though we are all well intentioned and genuinely want to help you out because if this is a medical issue, we're not qualified to help (if it turns out to be a running issue then we probably are). If you have experienced anxiety in Medical school (which kind of makes sense to me) and at other times in your life running a long run might not be the cause of the anxiety rather an effect.
If I were you, I'd consider assistance from within the medical world.
Champions are made when no one is watching
Letting off steam
Addressing this strictly from a running point of view:
As others have suggested, the weekend warrior nature of the Higdon programs may be the problem specific to long runs.
I used to dread the long runs too. My training then was similar to a Higdon program -- heavy on the weekend mileage, much less during the week.
The light eventually went on, and I started building up the weekday miles, and restricting my long run to average under 30% of the total . The dread of the long run went away -- once the pattern was established, I never even thought about it. The "long" run became so much more manageable when it wasn't so out of proportion with the rest of the week.

Did anyone else think that Lysacek's timing on the approach to the quad was off? It seemed like he hestitated too long, or something. (Study long, study wrong. Just do it. )
It was funny when they showed the slo-motion replay, with the rotation obviously close to 180 degrees short, and Scott Hamilton said, "oh, it looks borderline!" Then they showed it again even slower and Scott said the exact same thing.
Now Evan has another decision to make in Vancouver.

LITCHFIELD PARK, Ariz. – Thane Ringler (Hutchinson, KS) recently competed in the inaugural 2012 Patriot All-America Invitational held at the Wigwam Golf Resort in Litchfield Park, Arizona, and finished tied for 46th out of a field of 84 competitors.
The five-day event, which ran from December 27-31, featured PING All-Americans from the 2011-2012 season in NCAA Divisions I, II and III. All-Americans from the NAIA, NJCAA and AJGA also competed in the invitation-only event.
Ringler shot a 15 over-225, and notched 30 pars, 14 bogeys, seven birdies, and one double bogey along the way. Ringler's play was highlighted by a solid two-over 72 on Monday, sandwiched by a disappointing six-over 76 on Sunday and a poor 77 on Tuesday.
Assessing Ringler's performance, Mustang coach Jason Semelsberger stated, "Things didn't go the way he [Thane] wanted, but we're still very proud of him."
The Golf Coaches Association of America awarded Ringler a spot in the invitational in the wake of his stellar 2011-12 campaign, in which he earned first- team honors on the 2012 NAIA Men's Golf All-American list.
