Too stressed with work and suffering from allergies (or getting a cold) to do shout-outs. Sorry. Anyway, 7.5 too fast on Monday. 9 too fast yesterday and 8 w/ a boat load of 200s on tap today.
Mother's Day Weeklies: May 6-12
RD: I need a 3:55 (I'll be 48 in late September) per the guidelines, but I'm training for a 3:50. The PR in my signature is pretty soft. I did it on a 3 day a week program where I peaked at only 32 miles. So I think 3:50 is quite doable provided most everything goes right during training and on race day.
Maps: I think you are right. I'm suddenly feeling very peaked. I'm sure some vitamin D would help. Love the feel good Boston stories. Karma is a great thing!
RA: Oh lord...not again??? You can't seem to catch a break with the sick stuff. Hope work calms down for you.
Just a quick check while eating lunch. Running rest day for me as I am finally able to get into the fields and plant some corn. It may be short lived if the weather forecast for more rain starting tonight holds.
GreenBay- Yes, please do tell about your 54 person bus trip today.
MAP- So you didn't give details about Oberweis (Other than now we know it's Ice cream!) I have a feeling it's really yummy.
Taylor- Since the weather is gorgeous here today, my son's rock climbing coach is taking the team to play ultimate frisbee today at our awesome town park! I thought of you immediately! Never seen it before, though I can't imagine with a group of kids from 12-16, most of them having never played it before, it won't resemble a thing like the real deal LOL!
Mdawg- keep me posted about the Bootlegger- that would be fun to see you if it works out!
Had a great workout today- First was 5 miles of intervals on the treadmill, with 1.25 mi warm up, then 4 x .75 mi at 7:08 pace with .25 in between recovery of 9-9:30. Done at a 1.5% incline. Then went and taught my hour of the new Body Pump. I was shaking by the end of about a million plyo box jumps they've decided to throw in the workout towards the end.
Last night I got wrapped up in some documentary film called "Hungry for Change" about having a healthy lifestyle- primarily focusing on the issues with our foods today, and a little on exercise and smoking issues. Lots on eating raw and organic and on juicing. A friend of mine has gotten big into juicing and I'm thinking of taking the plunge and buying a juicer. Anyone here big into it?
It's a beautiful day in Chicagoland! Almost too warm, but not quite. I ran 1.36 miles at a slow pace & enjoyed the sun.
Ebunny: It's just a local ice cream/dairy with extremely high fat ice cream. And, yes, it's yummy. I usually don't get anything, but I'm still in a bit of a sloth and gluttony mode.
Mdawg: You are speedier than me. I was on 3:50 pace until my knee and hip gave out so if you remain injury free, I think you can easily run 3:50, given your quality workouts and sensible approach.
RA: Not the dreaded lurgy is it? My allergies have been bad with all the dampness and beautiful blooming dreams.
Maps: RA told me last year that I had a sub 3:40 in me for Chicago after I ran my 1:45 HM. I was hesitant to think that was possible, but after running the course injured and coming in at 4:19, I think he might be right. However, I think I need a couple more cycles to get faster before attempting that. I'd like to have a sub 3:30 one day. Just based on my age and physical ability, I think that may be my top end, but who knows?
Ebunny: I'm not a juicer/smoothie person. It just doesn't give me the satisfaction of having a"meal" and chewing my food. Probably more mental than physical, but just not my thing.
Ebunny: I make a lot of smoothies for myself & the kids. I use yogurt & frozen fruits & unfrozen banana. With the frozen fruits, you don't need ice. I also sneak in spinach (don't tell them). During swim season, I mix in protein powder & just bought flaxseed oil, but have not tried it yet.
Just got back from the day long bus trip.
I work for the Catholic Church, but in addition, I am the author of several books about a place of Catholic devotion. Since I'm an "expert" I was asked to organize and plan a trip to the site. We didn't think we would get any more than 25 from the one area, and thought we would have to publicize it in the surrounding area. Well, within a week, the bus was filled and a waiting list formed! As part of the trip, each person received a copy (which was included in their fee) of one of my books. It seemed like people enjoyed their day and were very grateful and appreciative.
Howdy all!
Quick check in for me. I've been a bit of a slacker. Did a short 950 yards in the pool yesterday. Did a set of shorter sprints after a 500 yard warm-up and then just couldn't get back into a rhythm afterwards and decided to just bail on the workout. Then slept in this AM, but got out for a short 12 mike bike ride at lunch. The weather has been near perfect here in Detroit the last several days, but we will only have a high of 48 on Mother's day.
Have a good evening everyone!
Jmh- not a bad workout for your lunch break. how is your new bike?
ebunny- if I ran your marathon time, I probably won't be running this soon. Your workout today is awesome. Thos. Pylo workouts just about kill me. That is probably why I don't do them. Enjoy your cruise. I am partial to Aruba.
RD- I promised myself when I was running the last 10k of my marathon that I would take a full week off. But, by day three I am always full of guilt if I don't run. But, I like hearing tips from people like you, then I won't feel as guilty.
RA- feel better.
mdawg- I know I need speed work to run a faster time in Chicago. That is why I asked about Hanson. I didn't do any this past cycle. I need a 3:40 to bq, and that just doesn't seem possible. i think I would need to put in a lot of work and everything be perfect for a 3:45. 3:40 is way too out of reach.
maps- I am a big fan of Oberwise. What is next for you?
greenbay- sounds like a nice day for you.
i ended up running 4 slow miles today. Felt pretty good, but still a little crunchy. Then i Ran 2 really slow miles this afternoon with the girls on the run program.
Have a good night.

Just based on my age and physical ability, I think that may be my top end, but who knows?
For reference: DW ran 3:38 off a 1:42 HM in 2011. We got that down to 3:36 without much movement on her HM (1:41 at Cary) last year. I paced her for both. She did that 3:36 a month after her 12:21 Ironman.
She's gunning for sub 3:30 as she hit 1:37 for the HM at Cary (her HM PR course!). At Boston she faded to 3:35. We both died in Newton despite running well at Cary. Her training partner is 46 and a touch fast at the HM but is much better at the marathon (sub 3:30). Their 5ks are close - mid 21s.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that you have the speed, just need to get the endurance up. Maybe do an Ironman first.
I think I just have really bad allergies but the sore throat is new. I'm hoping it all doesn't lead to a sinus infection. My reaction to seasonal allergens seems to be getting worse every year for the past 4-5 years.
Got in 9 w/16 * 200. I decided to wait until it was really hot outside first and ran on my neighborhood loop. The local cop was moving around his favorite speed trap locations (20 mph limit) - wave at him a few times. 5 fingers. Ended up being a bit of a sufferfest for the back end of that workout. Just need to recover so I can run a sub 19 5k for my tempo run on Saturday.
Well, I just ordered both Pfitzinger's and Hanson's books. I'm excited but at the same time, I know I won't be able to follow any of the exact plans because of my class schedule, and I just wish I could.
RA- I'm with you on the allergy suffering. It downright sucks.
Mfam- Great on your 4 miles!! (and your 2 more for GOTR- what a great program!) Thanks on the workout comment- I really was so happy that I stuck in for my fourth interval though everything was telling me to stop.
GreenBay- That's neat! Glad your excursion went well- pretty cool to have a published author among us!

Well you don't have to worry about that with me. There are reasons why publishers have editors edit works.
Good morning all!
Well, today did not start out so great. I left the house at 5, planning to swim this AM. As I pulled into the gym parking lot it struck me, "Did I forget my goggles?" When I got in the locker room and opened my bag, sure enough, no goggles. I wasn't exactly dressed for anything else, but still headed up to the stationary bike and got in 60 minutes, wearing tri shorts, a cotton t-shirt, and shoes with no socks.
After the gym I drove into the office for a change, and it struck me that I also forgot my coffee mug, so needed to stop for coffee as well. Hopefully the rest of the day goes better!
gbpf - belated welcome to the group! Very cool about your trip yesterday!
mdawg - you have the 3:50 in you!
ebunny - great to hear from you again regularly! DW has experimented some with smoothies. DD2 (3 YO) has a basic one every morning with milk, yogurt, and frozen fruit. DW tried to sneak some spinach in once but DD2 would have nothing to do with it. "OOH! GREEN STUFF!!!!" I have 1-2 basic protein powder and milk shakes around workouts every day, a left over habit from when I lifted weights. DW has also been getting into organic foods and eliminating food with any modified ingredients, particularly GMO's.
ra - man, you've been pushing it this week! Good luck with the 5K Saturday!
mfam - take it easy getting back into it! The ride yesterday was the longest I've gone on the bike so far. It was also about 2 mph faster than comparable rides last year on my old clunker bike, even though I was in better biking shape back then. I still feel very unstable riding in the aerobars, so that will take some getting used to.
taylormade - I hope the planting goes well!
maps - thanks for sharing the Boston stories! I signed your petition and hope that the BAA can work something out.
Have a good one everybody!
GBPF: Very cool about the book. Be careful of RA and RD as they tend to add an extra u in words such as colour. Though, I think it is may be that "u" that gives them their great speed.
Mfam: Not sure what is next. I am seriously considering running Chicago as part of Team Reeve in honor of the victims and the support my "airport angel" gave me after the race. If not that, then Des Moines or Indy, but I would like to support the charity this year. The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation works with paralysis victims and helps assist with wheelchairs. Many of the victims now need wheelchairs. Jeff Bauman, the man who lost his legs and helped id the suspects had worked with TR prior to April as his friend had become paralyzed in a diving accident. My airport friend told me how the shutting down of the NYC marathon really hurt their fundraising efforts as the NYC marathon is huge for them, but the hurricane itself increased their demand as many lost their chairs or ramps, etc. in the aftermath of Sandy. My other race will be the Diva Half in December in SoCal. Trisha from the Boston forum (who I met for all of 2 minutes in Boston) invited me and it sounds so much fun. It's all women and there is champagne, tiaras, pink feather boas, etc. All the bibs say Diva and the medal is blingy. There is a 5K, too, but we wil do the half. She has a group of 10-20 going. All Chicago forum Diva women are welcome. It's not the ocean, but in the desert closer to Palm Springs.
Mdawg: I ran a 3:30.15 off of a 1:42 half so I believe in you! Both races were in the sleet and snow that year. Had I realized that 3:30 was a goal, I could have gone under as I was strolling along taking in the sites. I also did not eat or drink anything until mile 18-not kidding.
RA: My Cary race was not a good indicator this year either. I actually ran the first half of Boston 1 minute faster than Cary. Bummer about the allergies. I get the sore throat from the sinus drainage and have been using Burts Bees honey drops and they seem to help.
Happy update on my Boston friend: She was able to go 2 feet w/o her walker yesterday as she recovers! She also is starting to remember the happy of that day. As her BQ put her in the 9 am mobility division, she was able to cheer for the elites and got a giggle out of Kara when she told her to just go ahead and not wait for her. She had posted on Kara's FB wall the day before what she would be wearing. Every step matters!
EDIT: jmhubba: You snuck in on me. Bummer about forgetting the goggles and the coffee mug. The key to spinach is to hide it with blueberries or mixed berries and have it chopped really, really well. The darker berries hide it.
Good morning! SRD for me. Looking wistfully out my office window again today. Maybe I will actually leave around 5 today. DH sent me a picture of his run on the beach in FL this morning. I asked him when we were moving.
RA: Thanks for the analysis. That's very encouraging. DW's times and progression do seem to line up with where I'm headed. However, there will be no Ironman for me! Hope you are feeling better today.
Maps: I LOVE Palm Desert/Palm Springs. I could seriously be talked into doing that. It would fit in well since it's about 3 months after Lehigh. Where can I get more details? Thanks for your vote of confidence too! Wow...nothing until mile 18? Must've been your day that day!
jmh: I hate those days. It just throws everything off for the rest of the day. I am a person of structure and can't stand for my plans to be disrupted! Hope your MIL is faring as well as possible.
ebunny-those cruises sound like so much fun. I am with you on the dancing! I love it! Where in the Bahamas are you going? I went on a cruise, and Nassau was one of the stops. We didn't do too much there except visit the Atlantis Resort. We didn't do anything there, just walked through, but I made it my mission to have my honeymoon there whenever I got married.
RA-I am with you on the sick wagon. DBF started with it first, and now I have a sore throatb
greenbay-sounds like it was a good trip and glad it wasn't too hectic
jm-doesn't sound like a great start to the day, but I hope it gets better
Maps-let me know if you decide to run Indy (Indianapolis Marathon I am assuming, in October?) I might just sign up for it too as a backup plan. That DIVA race in SoCal sounds awesome, but probably wouldn't be able to get out there. Glad your friend is doing better. Out of curiosity, what is your marathon PR?
mdawg-I believe in you too! You can totally demolish that BQ time!
I have a sore throat and a few body aches. Still got out for my LR of 11, but took it pretty easy. Graduation for me today Then going out for a delicious dinner at a fancy Italian restaurant.
Congrats taylorma!!!!
Celebrate away! You've earned it!
Congratulations Taylorma!!!! Way to Go!!!!
Afternoon everyone!
Went to the outdoor pool yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised to find the water to be pretty warm. They had it set up for the 50m long course. After spending all winter doing the short 25yd this kicked my butt (but in a good way). I think it was more psychologically draining than anything, because I'm so use to coming up on to the wall over the shorter distance. Whereas with the 50m it just seems like you're swimming forever. As for today, the weather was perfect so I got up early and put in a good 10 mile run.
Taylorma: Congrats on graduating!!! I finished up my undergrad last August, but attended my graduation ceremony last week. And my IM November 17th. So I still have time. Right now I'm just working on getting in shape for some shorter summer races.
RD: Go and sign up for the Cottonwood race! I won't tell your coach. But if you feel guilty I suppose the race officials would let you run the route in reverse if you really wanted to.
mdawg: You're stuck at work while the DH is on the beach? What is wrong with this picture?
ebunny: A cruise sounds like fun. I've never been on one. I would really like to take one up to Alaska one of these days.
jmh: Uggg...I hate mornings like that. Hopefully things will get better as the day goes on.
Oh happy, happy, happy, happy, happy graduation day, Taylor!!! So exciting! Enjoy your night out and your frisbee tomorrow! OK, so I was wrong the first cruise goes to Cozumel, Haiti, and Jamaica, not the Bahamas. We've been to the Bahamas a bunch and Atlantis is gorgeous. We're going to do the iconic Dunn's River Falls walk-up with the kids since this is their first time to Jamaica. That's what I did the first time I went when I was 14 and I'll never forget it. Yep, my favorite thing about cruises is going out every single night (which you obviously can't do normally once you have kids) for dinner, drinks, shows, and dancing. Hubby "puts up" with my dancing- that's why we often cruise with another couple- the guys will often hang on the side and drink while the ladies are on the dance floor. Periodically I'll drag him out for a couple of songs and then let him get another drink. It's the only way. LOL!
Mdawg-- Get outside! I'm out on my back patio working on my base tan right now! Guys, it's 80 degrees and sunny here! Trying to work on getting rid of the tank top tan lines from running before the cruise. I've got about an hour to get it done. LOL
JMH- Glad to be back on here posting again, too! I would have been lost without my coffee.
DH makes DD a shake pretty much every morning before school since she's such a sloth getting ready- much faster to drink her shake- yogurt, soy milk, and fruit. The juicing thing I think is a whole different level though- I'm thinking it might be something that I do for a week and then I fall off the wagon. I would like to be better with the organic thing, too, yesterday I did buy organic chicken breasts, greens, and soy milk. I guess it's a start. I'd love to start going to our weekly farmer's market which is only 10 min from our house. I don't know why I haven't done this. Maybe this weekend....
First hot run of the year for me today. Did 10 miles at an 8:51 avg pace at 10:30 am. Starting temp was 72, ending was I think right under 80. Full sun, practically no shade, 600 ft elevation gain, and 600 loss. I drank 40 oz of liquid on that run. The second half was NOT as much fun as the first half.
Advanced Marathoning by Pfitzinger was sitting on my door stoop when I got home.
OOps, I typed so long that I missed you UT! I'd LOVE to do Alaska- just need to convince DH to get out of the tropical mindset for a bit.
RA-Sorry to see the stress/allergies. I saw tons of yellow pollen on cars during my run tonight. The south is much worse, as mdawg, ebunny will tell you although. I remember visiting DGF in Atlanta and seeing her car completely covered in pollen.
mdawg-You definitely can run a 3:55. The only issue with you is staying healthy. Be careful!!
Taylor-Congrats on being a grad. You must be so happy!!!
UT-Nice to seeing you posting again man. I hope for an FE with you in the future.
RD/Maps/RA/Mini-I decided to move on from the BI. If they post any hotel deals, I would appreciate a quick note from one of you. Thanks!
Good morning all!
Attempted to swim again this AM. Packed two pairs of goggles just to be safe! For some reason I've been struggling with the swimming the last two weeks. Bailed after 1050 yards. Ironically my cycle classes have been feeling better than ever. Oh well. I'll just keep pushing through.
UTman - outdoor swimming!?!? I cannot imagine doing that here right now. I'm jealous of your 50M pool. Ya, it would kick my butt for sure, but would be a great step up for training from my usual 25 yards.
ebunny - Ah, Dunn's River Falls. We have great memories (and pictures) from doing that several years ago. It's been several years since we did a cruise, but we love them. We actually had one planned for next year, but the whole Dopey Disney challenge thing will make us push the cruise off another year.
badger - what's on tap for this weekend?
Have a good one everybody!
Good morning! Strength training, 3 easy TM miles, and stretching at the gym. First week of 5 days running since my December injury. Yay! Looking forward to the warmer runs outside this weekend.
jmh: My sister's gym in FL has a huge outdoor pool that's open year round (no suprise there). She says even at 5 am they've got swim team practices going on. Of course it's a big swimming community around there as you would expect.
Badger: Yep...you're right...pollen is worse down here. Although we've long been done with the yellow stuff. Everything has been in full bloom for a while. Still have allergy sufferers dealing with it though. My "A" goal is to arrive at the starting line healthy. If I don't do that, the other goals will likely not happen.
UTman: DH spends a lot of time working in FL. He has lots of clients down there. I'd say 2 weeks a month on average. His company would move us right now if we were willing. Just not in the cards at this time with my job....but I'm working on that!
ebunny: LOL!! I haven't heard the phrase "base tan" in forever! I can't wait to run tomorrow morning in the nice weather!
taylor: Hope you enjoyed your celebration last night. Congrats again!
ebunny-you know what, I actually remember you posting you were going to Jamaica, not that Bahamas. Whoops. But all those destinations sound quite lovely
UT-oh yeah, that is a nice amount of time to train for it
jm-might just be burnt out with swimming. but it's good you are mixing in cycling so as to change up your routine
mdawg-enjoy the outdoor runs this weekend
Planning on an easy 8 later today. Throat is still so sore, not too happy about it. Graduation was good. I am so happy to be done with my Master's, though I did have to wear a weird looking hood thing that seemed to be choking me for most of the ceremony. Stupid person who thought of this graduation garb, though it did protect me from the rain last night so I didn't have to ruin my fancy dress I wore underneath
'morning, folks,
Getting ready to head out for the gym for my Jam class- favorite class of the week- dancing- lights down, strobe lights, loud music, it is the perfect way to start the weekend! But then the following class is yoga and it jars you right back out of the party atmosphere LOL. Think I'll make myself stay for that today. Definitely need the stretching.
ANother gorgeous day in the ATL today! No running for me though. Opinions- I started reading through the Pfitzinger book yesterday. Saw that all of their recovery plans following their training plans, call for just GA and recovery runs for FIVE WEEKS other than some strides here and there, saying that you shouldn't do too much too soon (which I already know, but 5 weeks?) This is the 4th week after Boston and I was considering running a 10k tomorrow morning. I only want to do it because I have a SUCKY 10k PR (each one has been run after coming back from injury, or crappy hot weather). I did do a speed workout Wed and 10 miles yesterday which was my longest run post-marathon. I also added back on weights for my leg tracks in two weight classes this week. I don't feel OVERLY fatigued, but some soreness from the weights. I know RD PR'd 3 weeks after and RA is running a 5k tomorrow. Badger paced GF in another marathon. However, I'm definitely not these guys. I don't want to go in tomorrow and either have a poor performance or reinjure my achilles from last year (that I still minorly feel). Thoughts?
bunny-Good luck with the advanced marathoning book. I think there is a copy of that in my house. DGF buys all kinds of running books. I'm too lazy to read them. I follow the run a lot and hope for the best strategy.
mdawg-We are just starting to bloom. This is my favorite time of year to run in the woods. Soon it will 90's for you. I'm not a fan of Atlanta in the summer. However, if you like it really hot, that's the place to be.
JM-You are going to sprout gills at this rate. This weekend I have a 50 mile trail race in Wisconsin. The Ice Age 50 is the name of it. I'm heading up tonight after work as it starts at 6am.
I'm still a hare. I want to be a roadrunner!!
morning all. Sorry I don't give shoutouts but man everyone sure does lead full and interesting lives. Even though I don't give shoutout I sure do enjoy reading up on your activities.
I was able to plant for a few hours yesterday until I got rained out. Was able to get 7 in this morning with a couple at goal HM pace. While not signed up yet I do plan on running Rockford Half on the 19th but that of course will depend on the weather and planting progress. I do have my doubts about my goal half marathon pace as I realize it is rather aggresive considering my training.
Have a GREAT day everyone.

I didn't realize that Rockford had a half. That's cool! I can't wait to hear about it. I have wanted to run that marathon for years. I hear it's hilly.
Morning. Oral Surgery for me today! Yahoo, hurray, gosh, it will be so much fun. NOT
Badger: Good luck in your race. Peoria has a hilly half/full on May 19, too.
Ebunny: I go by how I feel. I've run fulls 4 weeks apart (Pfitz has a plan for that, too), but have run only a couple of miles since Boston with hip pain and I'm just not ready to run yet as it brings back bad memories.
Mdawg: Ontario, CA Dec 8. Be there! Tiaras & pink boas & pink attire are mandatory Ok, not really, but it's fun. It's not a speedy racer, per trisha, but more of a celebration, happy women's weekend. She invited me to the one in SanFran last weekend as she thought I needed happy, but it was too short of notice for me.
Ebunny: Trisha said the race ends at one of the largest malls in America
Taylor: Happy Day Off, Ms Graduate!!! I am so proud of you!

I have run the half the last few years. For the most part it is a way to keep me motivated to run during the winter. The half is OK. Not great or anything but a local race for the people I run with on Sunday. People who have run the full complain that it is rather boring and they would much rather do a different full in the spring. The good thing for me (as I procrastinate or not sure how planting will go) is that there is morning of sign up and packet pickup. I like doing races in Chicago but I don't like to drive in on Sat for packet pickup and then drive back in on Sun for the race.
edit to add if I do it I will give a race report but it will be a very sheepish report as a good or great race for me would be an easy recovery run for most on here
I'm alive....work was kicking my butt since Saturday. Got 2 nice runs on the trails in Boulder...
back to running in the mornings now...10 on Tuesday, 12 Wed, 7 in the AM and 7 in the PM on Thursday, 11 today.
Going through the thread now.
RD - for the record...I hate you! No...seriously...congrats...that is amazing to go sub 3 and a PR just 3 weeks after Boston.
badger - good luck with the race tomorrow! go the extra distance...why not.
mdagw - good luck with Hanson's plan. I based my last plan on it and liked it. But I did modify it quiet a bit.
jmhubba - keeping you and your family in the prayers.
taylorma - congrats on graduation..6 months untill you start paying off the student loans right?
taylromade - good luck with the planting. I'm still waiting for the sod to be installed in the house. It's driving me crazy.
mfam - rest and recovery for you now. I took 3 weeks easy after Boston. Back to the grind now.
maps - post away about Boston all you want. We'll let you know when we've had enough
utman - I wouldn't want that referre gig..I'd go crazy on the parents.
ebunny - pfitz is the man...once you get through the training, the race is easy.
ra - your job sounds like mine right now.
greenbackpackerfan - welcome aboard.
Hope I didn't miss anybody.
Got up early and took the dog out for a walk. He's getting grumpy in his old age and barks at me if I don't get up and take him for his daily walk. I think he has me trained. I decided to ride my bike to work today. It was a great ride in as the weather has been beautiful all week. Will meet up with my bro around lunch time to find something for Mother's Day. My mom is so difficult to find something for as she never tells us what she wants. We'll probably end up going to some flower store and find something to put in her garden.
mdawg: Nice little running streak you have going there. Keep it up!
Taylorma: Once again congrats on the graduation. Yeah that hood thing the master students have to wear doesn't look comfortable. At least you don't have to wear that ridiculously long hood thingy the phd students have to wear. You could hang someone with that thing.
jmh: From what I've been told you get a better workout in the 50m pool vs. the 25yd pool. From my experience this past week I tend to agree. So with all of they swimming and cycling are you training for a tri?
maps: You must really really like visiting the dentist. Ouch!
mini: Glad you enjoyed the trails in Boulder! I love going up to the mountains to run! Yes..there have been times where I too wanted to go crazy on some of the parents, but I was able to restrain myself.
badger: I'm glad to be back posting too. I took sometime off because I was super swamped at work organizing one of our big programs (spring outdoor soccer). You should sign up for that cottonwood race I told you about, we could meet up and hit the bars afterword.
ebunny: That jam class sounds fun. Several of the zumba instructors at my work are trying to get me to attend a class. But I'm scared that all of the women in there would eat me alive.
taylormade: Sounds like the farm is keeping you busy. What are you planting?
My mouth hurts. Hopefully, it will prevent me from gaining yet more weight post-marathon. However, DS2 and DH already brought me a hot fudge sundae (no nuts) from Dairy Queen.
Mini: Welcome back stranger!
Taylormade: Hope you get the crops in
Badger: Run fast tomorrow, but then you always do! Have a beer after for me!
jmhubba: I think swimming is like running, you have peaks and valleys and then peaks again.
UTman: I've watched kids do the 100m fly in 50 meter pools vs 25 yds. Without that wall half way to breathe, it is not pretty. DS swims long course (50M pool) in the summer and short course (25 yd pool) in the winter. Hard to find 50m pools. Our town has petitioned for them, but to no avail. U of Illinois at Chicago and U of Chicago have them, but they are few and far between.
Good morning. Ran 7+ miles with 6 at "sorta" MP this morning. Temp was 62 when I started and 68 when I finished. Perfect! Started with a 9:28 w/u mile followed by splits of 8:32, 8:24, 8:10 (oops), 8:29, 8:36, and 8:36. I'm wondering about my 3:50 goal since I'm having a hard time keeping these runs around 8:45. Should I train for a more aggressive goal? Or maybe I'm just fresh since I've had rest from being injured? Don't want to overextend myself, but I want to train/race to my best capability. Thoughts?
Maps: hope you tooth is feeling better. I looked up the Diva race website. Looks interesting...especially the temps in December.
UTman: flowers always work. That's what we're doing.
mini: welcome back!
Happy Saturday! Feels like Thanksgiving weather out there, not Mother's Day.
Mouth is still pretty sore from having a screw drilled into the bone. Mainly the nerves around it. Ouch. Not as painful as the actual removal of the tooth, but not on my list of fun things. So, no motivation to run as I think the screw has to bond to the bone. Then they put in the fake tooth and then a crown. Really, the only crown I want is a tiara!
Mdawg: I am seriously considering the race. Dr Bart & Sina may come from your area so now we just need to talk Ebunny into it!
jmhubba: The color run looked fun!
UTman: Write a nice note in the card and she will be thrilled! A small garden stone could be nice too if she has a bigger garden.
Badger: Hope the 50 was fun and fast
Looks like many of you are on line so I am probably crossing posts with you.
maps- ouch. I had step one on my crown yesterday. I think I could have paid for my dentists kids to go to college at this point.
Mdawg- glad to see things are going to well. Do those paces seem easy to you? Maybe you can run a half in the next month or so, and gage your fitness from that. i would imagine you will only get faster as you increase your training.
taylorma- congrats again. So happy for you.
RA- how are you feeling? Did you have a race this weekend?
utman- i am sure your mom will appreciate anything you do for her. Moms are easy to please.
minI- your back to mega miles. What's next for you.
ebunny- what marathon are you doing next? Do you feel like your classes help with your running?
4 miles today. I feel really good, but still a little slow. I haven't used my garmin this week. Trying to get out there and not worry about my pace. In years past me and some friends run a easy 10 miler on Mother's Day. Everyone wants to get back home super early before anyone's kids are up. I love Mother's Day. My girls are so excited and have been making me things all week.
Enjoy the weekend.

GSA Celebrates Rededication, Modernization of New Orleans Custom House
One of the most historically significant buildings in the federal portfolio will benefit from protection effected by restoration work and upgrades.
Aug. 8, 2011
Deborah K. Ruiz, 202-208-0861
WASHINGTON – Federal and local officials today celebrated the rededication and modernization of the U.S. Custom House, bringing it to its former grandeur after it was severely damaged during Hurricane Katrina. The only structure designated as a National Historic Landmark within the U.S. General Services Administration's Greater Southwest Region, the customhouse underwent a two-phase effort to protect the historic nature of the building as well as to ensure its longevity for future generations.
"Protecting the wealth of history in and around the U.S. Custom House – one of the government's most historically significant buildings – and ensuring its presence for future generations demonstrates GSA's commitment to support its sister agencies and, through them, the taxpayer," said J.D. Salinas, regional administrator for GSA's Greater Southwest Region. "Our expertise finds that preservation and innovation work together very well as we keep energy-efficiency in mind and sustainability out front."
Tenants, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Commerce, and the U.S. Small Business Administration, are back in the restored building, after they were relocated to other spaces when the building was declared unsuitable for occupancy following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The building sustained substantial damage from roof drain blockage stemming from hurricane debris. Interior damage was primarily confined to the second and third floors, and affected building finishes, and mechanical and fire protection systems. In addition, water damage sustained from the storm was significant, requiring complete remodeling and mold remediation for many areas.
"The Customs House is an important cultural and architectural landmark, and remains a symbol of the resilience of this community and this city," said Secretary Janet Napolitano. "The Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection share in the commitment to support the revitalization and rebuilding of New Orleans and our entire Gulf Coast."
"Louisiana is home to a large presence of national assets, from military readiness and maritime commerce to energy production and chemical plants, that warrant the attention and resources of the Department of Homeland Security," Sen. Mary Landrieu said. "I am pleased to showcase Louisiana's unique homeland security capabilities and its considerable economic and military value to Secretary Napolitano during the course of this trip. Our visits to the Customs House, Port of New Orleans and Cyber Innovation Center will demonstrate Louisiana's ability to protect the homeland from international and domestic threats, whether they come by land, air, sea, or cyberspace."
The modernization and renovation includes significant improvements to the building's fire and life safety systems, as well as replacements to much of its electrical and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to enhance energy-efficiency and sustainability. These are expected to help it qualify for gold certification under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. GSA's restoration efforts have also successfully recaptured the historic appearance of the building, exposing the customhouse's original components, such as vaulted ceilings, and replicating missing or deteriorated interior elements and finishes.
The U.S. Custom House in New Orleans is one of the oldest and most important federal buildings in the Southern United States and one of the major works of architecture commissioned by the federal government in the 19th century. Construction of the four-story building, which occupies the full trapezoidal downtown city block bounded by Canal, North Peters, Iberville, and Decatur streets, was begun in 1848 and built over 33 years. The grand marble hall in the center of the building is one of the finest Greek Revival interiors in the United States.

As the federal government's workplace solutions provider, the U.S. General Services Administration works to foster an effective, sustainable and transparent government for the American people. GSA's expertise in government workplace solutions include:
• Effective management of government assets including more than 9,600 government-owned or leased
buildings and 215,000 vehicles in the federal fleet, and preservation of historic federal properties;
• Leveraging the government's buying power through responsible acquisition of products and services
making up approximately 14 percent of the government's total procurement dollars;
• Providing innovative technology solutions to enhance government efficiency and increase citizen
engagement; and,
• Promoting responsible use of federal resources through development of government-wide policies
ranging from federal travel to property and management practices.

Lancome Courbe Virtuose Divine Lasting Curves Mascara Reviews
YayI found a mascara I can go to without worrying about it not doing anything or clumps. This mascara makes your lashes look really great. I guess the curve to the brush is what helps with the no clump application and helps get in places that are hard to reach. — 6 years, 9 months agohleeee | 210 reviews
WOW lashesThis is the most amazing mascara! In one coat it gives you long, lush, curled lashes that stay looking fresh all day long. But if you really want drama add a second coat and it looks like you've gone to all the time and trouble to apply false lashes! It doesn't smudge or flake all day, but when it's time to take it off it's easily removed with any facial cleanser. It's a little more expensive than some mascara ($23) but well worth every penny and more. I'll never go back to anything else! — 9 years, 9 months agocharliecat31 | 101 reviews

on the dry sideThis mascara does hold the curl because it's on the dry side. Since I curl my lashes everyday, some of the wetter formulas de-curl them, but not this. However all it seems to do is just that, curl. My lashes were not thicker nor longer. If you like the clean separated look, it's fine, but not for a dramatic volume lover. I usually top this with Definicils to complete the package. — 9 years, 5 months agoMakeupGuru | 444 reviews

Best CurlingI was skeptical before trying. So, I used the lash primer first (LOVE that stuff) then this Courbe Virtuose Divine Lasting Curves Mascara. Well, my lashes went straight up! and lasted like that ALL DAY until I took it off at night. So, since I had that Rather WIDE eyed look I wanted it toned down a bit, so, now I use the primer then put mascara on top of lashes in a downward swipe, then I g...read moreo up, my lashes look GREAT, kind of soft and soft, I use about 3 coats total, I swipe out and upward and the result is super. I have even suspended using liner so as to draw attention solely to the lashes and the effect is striking. VERY please with this product !!! — 9 years, 3 months agoLlisa2 | 204 reviews

Best mascara I have ever triedI gave it a 10 because it has everything. It lengthens, curves and gives your lashes volume. You can easily clean it off but it is very long lasting. I absolutely love it. — 5 years, 9 months agogasurova | 30 reviews
best I've tried!you can live the house without worrying your lashes would clump, smudge or would look droopy. i use this even without my eye lash curler. it stays so long that I just don;t need to worry about it. but it's expensive! just think about it, you need to use a primer to get best result. it works perfect as it is. if your obsess with your lashes then this would be one of your best buy. warning though: it can be addicting! — 6 years, 3 months agotinkerbella88 | 48 reviews

WOWthis mascara is BY FAR the most amazing mascara ive ever used. at first i was skeptical of the curved brush, i didnt want to poke my eye out, but to my surprise, it made all the difference. this mascara not only thickens and lengthens your lashes, it curls and separates them too! this product is an all in one and its worth every penny! — 8 years, 5 months agocamcamb | 4 reviews
The Ultimate Mascara!Listen Ladies, if you have sparse lashes that naturally curl and are a bit long, this is the mascara for you. At first, I thought my lashes already curl, I just want volume and a bit of length, well, I was pleased that I tried this wonderful mascara. Not only does it build volume without clumping, but it extends the lashes naturally and defines the curl. That is the difference with this mascara. T...read morehe curl is well defined and now my lashes do not get all tangled. This mascara does it all, length, definition, curl, volume & lasts. I am so pleased with this mascara, I could shout from the roof tops! Try this mascara, you will not be sorry! — 8 years, 5 months agoAnela | 5 reviews
Doesn't Magically Curl, but Definitely HelpsOverall, all Lancome mascaras are some of the best. I've been using Definicils for many years now. I got this mascara free and have been using it for the past couple months now. While it doesn't magically curl your eyelashes like some mascaras claim, it definitely helps. The fact that the brush is curved also helps. I use this with my shu uemura eyelash curler and together they get the job done! This mascara doesn't flake, smudge or run so I'm pretty happy with it. — 8 years, 7 months agoAes1783 | 41 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
I'd love some advice on this subject. This will be a fairly long post, as I will give as much info as a I can.
I just started (2 weeks and 5 rounds) and a friend gave me 2 Pro TeeBird L that he didn't like. One is 174 and the other is 169.
I went to practice tonight (for the first time) to work on some of the techniques I learned on this site and really liked the disc a lot.
I was throwing it very flat and consistently, compared to the other drivers I have. I was also throwing a very used DX TeeBird well (weight unknown).
The other drivers I have are 160 DX Eagle, 161 DX Valk, 171 #1 Driver & a 148 DX Archangel. I do not like the AA at all... it just keeps going right on me! I did try 2 hyser shots at the end with it, and when keeping it really low it managed to stay straight, but that seems like poor technique (is it)?
The two Pro TeeBird L seem like they are warped. At first I thought it might have been my eyes playing tricks, but I confirmed it this way: all my DX discs rest flat on one another, the two Pro discs do not. There are small gaps in them.
Sooo... after that really long description, I really like the way the TeeBird L flew for me and really prefered the way the Pro plastic felt (it seemed more flexible and grippy). Should I just use the warped versions, get new Pro versions or get new Star versions. Should I consider the regular TeeBird? If so, in what plastic? Also, I know lower weights are better for beginners like me, but one of the closest courses to me is VERY windy. 15/20 MPH is not uncommon.
Finally, given that the course is so windy, should I consider a different driver for really windy conditions? If so, what and what plastic?
Thanks in advance.
(Wow, that was a really long first post!)

In announcing her "Let's Move" initiative, the First Lady said when she was young, "we spent hours running around outside when school got out. You didn't go inside until dinner was ready." That's the childhood many of us remember, but the 7 hours and 38 minutes kids today spend in front of electronic media leaves little time for outdoor play.
Let's move outdoors and encourage our kids to Be Out There. Research connects the lack of outdoor time to not only increased obesity, but also depression, stress, diabetes, ADD and poor performance in the classroom. It's time parents took advantage of an old-fashioned, low cost remedy to our children's obesity problem – playing outside.
Visit www.letsmove.gov to learn more about First Lady Michelle Obama's childhood obesity taskforce.
On February 4th, the National Wildlife Federation, Sierra Club, Children and Nature Network, REI, National Recreation and Park Association, Outdoor Foundation and YMCA sent a letter to the First Lady on the importance of promoting active time outdoors in nature as a strategy to combat childhood obesity.
National Wildlife Federation invites parents to support the Let's Move initiative by encouraging their children to spend time outside. Find activities and ideas for outdoor play.

How many of us can argue with someone who has lived through hell and still values her life greatly? Pro-abortionists may say, "This is just one girl's perspective. An exception to many children who feel unloved and unwanted."
At what point did you become God and get to decide whose life has value and whose doesn't? Ask the millions of adoptive families in our country, and I think you will find more than one exception.
This January is the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Since abortion was legalized, more than 55 million babies have been slaughtered in the United States. Our family's prayer is that we will see an end to abortion in this country very soon and that Roe v. Wade will not survive to kill another generation.
Jody RedigerAccording to Public Policy Polling on Jan. 8, Congress, with a 9 percent approval rating, currently rates below cockroaches. In fact, one man is responsible for this — and he never served in Congress.
Bruce Bartlett analyzed the Republican minority status in the late 1970s.
Applying the thinking of Marx, Bartlett described the tension between Democrat and Republican as thesis and antithesis. The (Democrat) thesis was ever-increasing government spending. The (Republican) antithesis was the balanced budget.
Problem: The synthesis was also ever-increasing government spending. Bartlett concluded that the Republicans had to change their antithesis if they wanted to return to power.
The damage started with Milton Friedman, who said, "I would far rather have total spending at $200 billion with a $100 billion deficit than a balanced budget at $500 billion." Friedman thus declared that the deficits were harmless and the true evil was government spending. This gave the intellectual green light to the Republicans to blow the roof off of the deficit with "supply-side economics."
The theory was that if we "starved the beast" with low taxes, then the public would demand cuts to government spending — the true evil. It never worked. There was little demand to cut spending, since the public wanted the programs. The profound error the supply-siders were committing all along was assuming that if we give out government for free, people will demand less of it.
The Friedman sanctioning of deficits undermined the functioning of the American political system by breaking a feedback loop from the public to elected officials. If the spending ever got too high (while being fully paid for with taxes), then the overtaxed public would demand spending reduction. But Republican anti-tax fanaticism now prevented the taxes from going up to pay for the government the public voted for. The Republicans dished out something for nothing. This is why we are $16 trillion in the hole.
Friedman was not a supply-sider, but his anti-government, anti-tax fanaticism has dominated the Republican Party since the 1980s and is responsible for piling trillions of dollars of debt onto young Americans. Friedman profoundly altered the functioning of the American political system by declaring deficits harmless. His legacy is that the primary obstacle to repairing our country's economy and finances is the irresponsible anti-tax fanaticism of the Republican leadership.

Luka Lindic
My name is Luka Lindič and I come from Slovenia. I am 23 years old and in the past 7 years I have been getting more and more intensively occupied with alpine climbing. My goal for the future is to climb difficult routes on walls of the highest mountain ranges. Therefore I am undertaking my climbing development very meticulously and systematically. I have already climbed a large number of less demanding routes which has so far helped me gain the speed and efficiency on the big walls. I have decided to raise my level of competence gradually by doing lots of 'easier' routes and thus provide a solid foundation for the most difficult ascents. This has proved itself to be the right way as the quality of my ascents improves every year. My efforts were fully recognized when I was awarded the title of The Most Promising Alpine Climber for 2008 by Mountaineering Association of Slovenia.
I am improving my all-round development as a climber by ascents as:
Prezgodnji izliv, Bhagirathi II, India, ABO-, M8 WI6+ 6b+ 1300m (1. ascent)
BIV, Bhagirathi IV, India, D+, WI3+ M 50°-70°, 1000m (1. ascent.)
BIII, Bhagirathi III, India, ED, M5 WI5 6b, 1300m (1. ascent)
Anderson-House-Prezelj route, WK7 Charakusa, ED, 6c V M 2200m (2. ascent)
Swiss route, Julian Alps / Rakova Spica, V, M7 500m
Ledenka, Slovenian Alps / Štajerska rinka, M8 AI6 600m
Skalaška route + Couloir of dreams, Julian Alps / Triglav, V+/5 M6+ 1100m
Camilotto Pelissier, Cima Grande, 8a+ 550m
Route of fools, Julian Alps / Šite, 8a 350m
Nero su bianco, Punta Brendler, Mont Blanc, 7b, 950m (on sight)
Viki krema, Tofana di Rozes, VIII+/IX-, 850m (1. ascent)
Persian cat, Bisotoon, Iran, 7a, 1000m (1. ascent)
Game over, Dryland/Innsbruck, M13
Tension, Dryland/Innsbruck, M12+
Tool time, Kandersteg, M10+ (on sight)
(all without spurs)
Sport climbing up to 8b+
I found climbing as the way of my life, because I like the way it affects my personality. Just with climbing I realized that with right motivation and determination I can reach almost any goal.

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.

ABOARD THE USS YORKTOWN—Moments before Marquette and Ohio State were supposed to tip off the second annual Carrier Classic, Marquette junior Jamil Wilson saw something that made him stop in his tracks.
Or, at least, try to stop. Considering the conditions, that was easier said than done.
"I literally watched Trent (Lockett) slide about 4 feet just taking one step," Wilson said with a smile. "That's when we got held up."
— News: Game lost to the elements
The court on the flight deck of the USS Yorktown in Charleston Harbor, which had been just fine for the Notre Dame-Ohio State women's game that started at 4 p.m. ET, was building up condensation at a rapid pace just a few minutes after 7 p.m.
The floor crew came out with their towels and dry mops. The players, including Wilson, grabbed towels off the bench and joined in the effort. People wearing headsets and people wearing uniforms scrubbed and wiped as vigorously as they could.
"Anything to play," Wilson said. "Just trying to get things going, hoping we could absorb everything, soak something up and dry out. It really wasn't working."
And it didn't work.
Even a 20-minute "assessment" period—the theory was, if the heat in the deck below was turned off and the temperate outside dropped a tiny bit more, perhaps the condensation would slow to a manageable level—just delayed the obvious.
PHOTOS: Images from opening night
This game wasn't happening.
"Our women's team just played," Ohio State athletics director Gene Smith said. "I didn't anticipate this. We were all happy because the sun was out, and there was no wind. Yesterday, there was a 20-mph wind and we couldn't shoot the ball. So we were going into the game all excited."
The final decision was a collaboration between the coaches—Marquette's Buzz Williams and Ohio State's Thad Matta—the officials, the event directors and the athletic directors, Smith and Marquette's Larry Williams.
"The bottom line is, we can't take a risk with any kid," Smith said. "I wouldn't want to be that person who calls a parent, after we went through all that discussion, whose kid got injured."
Had the game been scheduled for a few hours earlier, or played indoors, this would have been a fascinating matchup between two intriguing teams.
Both are learning to deal with significant player losses—Ohio State's Jared Sullinger and William Buford and Marquette's Jae Crowder and Darius Johnson-Odom are all playing professionally—but both have rosters full of talent. The Buckeyes have two potential All-Americans, ace scorer Deshaun Thomas and ace defender Aaron Craft. The Golden Eagles have the same coach, Williams, and always play the same maniacal style regardless of the roster pieces.
For an opening game, there's no telling what could have happened on the court.
That is why canceling the game—it won't be rescheduled—was disappointing, even though it was the right thing to do. Clearly.
But don't call it a wasted trip for the teams.
"It's a huge disappointment, not being able to play," Wilson said. "But then again, being down here and being around the soldiers who served their time, the veterans, the wounded warriors, just the experience of being around these guys and learning a little bit about their story, where they're from, what they've gone through. That makes up for it, at the end of the day.
"I even met one who just got back three weeks ago. That was pretty cool. Just the experience of meeting those guys—knowing they're so humble and grounded after everything they go through—that makes the experience so much better."
And the fact the players are heading back healthy, sans torn ACLs or sprained ankles or concussions or anything else that could have happened as the result of a fall on the slick court, isn't such a bad thing, either.

|General Hospital gets visit from Chicago TV Hosts, Ryan Chiaverini and Val Warner
Did you ever think of what it would be like to visit the set of General Hospital, or better yet have a role on the show?
Well, for Chicago television hosts, Ryan Chiaverini and Val Warner of ABC7's Windy City Live, this was no dream, but a reality. Both got to visit Port Charles recently and be a part of the action and become soap opera stars for the day. (The episode aired on November 9, 2016).
"I have to say, this was a lot of fun. Our job is in the studio and in front of cameras everyday, but seeing the General Hospital set was neat, "Chiaverini said. "I have to admit, as a kid I saw the show. It was really great to be able to see the iconic nurses station in person. It also was something to see the outside of the building resembling a hospital."

Vivid Colours
By dannythefish
from London
Vivid colours in famous Van Gogh. This is number 2 of 3 purchases. The first was another Van Gogh. This has great colouring but not the striking brush stroke definition of the first. That one actually looks like the original whereas this has the overall appearance of a print copy (better than a poster but none of the life of the original). Overall I am happy with it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very useful poster!
By Bamboo
from Overseas - Asia Pac
WE used the poster as part of our scarecrow display at our local art center. Our theme is Vincent Van Crow and we have man sized crow posed w/ stencil containing the poster of his painting of Wheatfield w/ Crows.
I have this over my king size bed and I really love it. The only complaint I have is that the acrylic shows every reflection. I did not see that there is a non-reflective option.
Nice and bright

Nice print. Will order from Allposters again.

Shogun Protection Kit Suzuki GSXR1000
Shogun Complete Protection Kit includes matching bar ends, frame sliders, and swingarm spools. Shogun sliders are superior to other slider brands by virtue of their construction and material. Shogun pucks, bar ends and spools are made of a shatter proof UHMW polyethylene infused with UV protective polymer. Shogun sliders absorb kinetic energy from crashes and will not shatter in cold temperature like some types of Delrin or fade in the sun. Each slider has a press fit aluminum bushing (excluding bar ends) to hold it in place during impact to reduce the risk of the slider puck or spool tearing off of the mounting point. Shogun frame slider offsets are CNC machined from the same grade aluminum as military aircraft. Offsets are anodized black to match OEM components. Each offset is manufactured to stringent specifications with ISO 9000 quality control.
Each Shogun Frame Slider comes with high tensile strength corrosion resistant hardware (cheap imitators do not use high grade hardware and will quickly rust). Shogun uses socket head bolts in nearly every kit, allowing for stronger frame slider design in a more compact space. Newer applications of Shogun Frame Sliders make use of a counter sunk design, which distributes the force of impact over a wider area and gives additional strength to the system so that the puck remains attached to the motorcycle.

Kevin Carrillo, a Hopi/Comanche hip-hop artist, knew his life had to change after he was nearly killed in a drunken knife attack last year. But in an ironic twist, the very vehicle that he rode to such depths – his music – is helping him, and potentially others, to forge a healthier path.
Carrillo, who goes by the stage name "Krook" or Krooked Mindz, got the idea during his recovery that he could invite regional hip-hop artists to contribute tracks to a compilation. He brainstormed the title Thru Tha Southwest, and he decided it would provide a shot in the arm to a genre that has struggled lately due to a lack of local exposure.
"There's really not much of a hip hop scene out there. I'd like to revive that," Carrillo said. "The artists need to be filled full of creativity again."
Around the same time Gabriel Yaiva, Navajo/Hopi, was developing his own project proposal for a musical outreach effort that would target at-risk youth, especially indigenous kids. Yaiva is an accomplished hip-hop artist too, and he also escaped dark years where he fell into gang violence, alcohol and drug abuse. But he has additional background in the business side of music – and eight years of work in his own nonprofit organization, the Flagstaff-based Peace and Balance Project.
Carrillo and Yaiva had long known about each other, but only in passing; Carrillo looked up to Yaiva as an artist who had put a CD in stores when Carrillo was still getting started. Their paths crossed in a more meaningful way late last year, when they got the idea to combine their projects. Now, the two have become the founding members of an upstart hip-hop collaboration. A diverse co-op of artists, including Natives, Mexicans, African Americans and Caucasians, are working to produce Thru Tha Southwest. The CD will be released by this summer and will feature peer-selected tracks from 20 contenders. But Carrillo, Yaiva and the handful of musicians who are throwing their resources into the idea see it as something bigger. In addition to showcasing regional talent, they're angling to build a vibrant scene that will act as a magnet for younger rappers – and help them avoid the rocky roads that many of the participants have escaped.
Back From the Brink
For Carrillo, the most hellish part of his life is less than a year behind him. The scars that carve his stomach and chest are still fairly fresh, and so are memories of the time he spent homeless and meth-addicted, and estranged from Melva, his wife of 13 years, and their three daughters.
At one of his lowest points, he lived with other addicts in the home of an ex-pimp and ex-con in Phoenix whose main contribution to Carrillo's life was to "educate me on more of a higher street-level game." At other times he lived out of his car or was truly homeless, occasionally checking into motels to record music on his portable studio, which consisted mainly of a large-screen Mac computer that he lugged with him everywhere he went.
Through it all, Carrillo believed in "keeping everything I'm recording true down to the deepest detail," which included the fact that he was always under the influence of drugs or alcohol. One of the tracks he's submitted to the Thru Tha Southwest compilation is called "Am I Slippin'." It's both gripping and true to form:
See them undercovers always on the block
I see them motherfuckers always keeping watch
So I'm always paranoid every fucking night, and I hold my breath very fucking tight
'Cuz I hear fucking creeping outside
My mind's playing tricks on me, aight?
so I popped a clip in ready to ignite
At any little fucker playing with my life."
Carrillo's game almost came to an abrupt stop in May of last year, on a night when he was drinking and using meth in a motel with some friends. During an argument, one of his closest friends pulled a knife and slashed Carrillo nearly to death; the attacker is serving a prison term now.
Carrillo says he flatlined twice, once in the ambulance and once at the hospital. His left lung collapsed, and he lost 13 inches of his intestine. He required 12 bags of blood to survive the night, and he stayed in intensive care for nine days.
Despite it all, he said, "My spirit was strong. I didn't want to be a victim. I made a crazy quick recovery, and I jumped back into music."
He also jumped into a cleaner lifestyle – he doesn't drink, snort cocaine or use meth any more, he says – and he rejoined his family. He reads the Bible daily and dreams of becoming a pastor. But he struggles with what to write about, and he recognizes that darkness still infiltrates his lyrics.
"It's a battle that I have within my own self," he says.
Fuel for the Fire
Jeremiah Murphy, aka "Jerm" or "Transfer," writes lyrics that give voice to a different inner conflict.
"I am a bleeding heart," he said. "When I see injustice in the world, I don't want to feel powerless over it. I feel I have not just the right, but I have the responsibility to stand up and say something."
But in his forthcoming fourth album, Murphy's Law, the lyrics reveal a push-pull between exposing those injustices, and rising above them. In "Long Kiss Goodnight," a song he's hoping to place on the Thru Tha Southwest tracklist, he raps:
Started off proud then came the dark clouds but I can't let it block out tomorrow's sunshine
Something had to give, not wrong for being passionate, but I don't want to be mad again for as long as I live
Imagine it: a peaceful Jerm
When will these people learn I've always been fighting it on a path to enlightenment
Murphy says he sees a sharp division in his genre that he recognizes even in the set of songs that have been submitted for the compilation: "It's basically divided down the middle, people who look at hip hop as more of an art form, a positive reinforcement – and then there's rap, which is more of the darker side, the street," he says.
"It's drug dealing, it's prostitution, pimpery and all this stuff I don't necessarily agree with, but it's a reality. So I can't shun it. But at the same time if our goal is to help the children, especially at-risk youth, escape the dangers of life or the pitfalls of life or whatever, I also feel like it's our responsibility to give them something beautiful, that can give them hope. Not just something that reinforces the shady side."
That tension – between darkness and light in the lyrics – is just one of several that seem to be both challenging and fueling the new collaboration. Carrillo had to put aside a heated rivalry in order to work with one of the musicians; Murphy was tempted to walk away from the project because another collaborator verbally attacked him in public.
Yaiva knew going into Thru Tha Southwest that he'd be dealing with a somewhat volatile crowd. But musically speaking, the rivalries can be a good thing.
"Competition is the essence of hip hop," he said, taking a break from a studio session with fellow artists Murphy, Carrillo, Cedric "Twoeleven" Smith and Carlos "Los" Jacquez. "In what we're doing right now, the posse cut, each emcee is trying to outdo everybody else that's on that track, and trying to be the best emcee."
And as for the varying opinions about lyrical content, Yaiva says he sees a lot of room to move.
"I've not censored very many people," he says. "As long as somebody is telling a story or expressing something in a creative way, then I think it's healthy to express that."
Greater Good
To varying degrees, the artists are all hoping their participation in Thru Tha Southwest will boost their exposure and income. But they're also hoping to reach out to the kids among their fans who have yet to encounter the hard roads they have. Many of the artists envision free hip hop concerts in schools and city parks and on the reservations, and maybe even a building in Flagstaff where kids can explore hip hop in a safe, supportive atmosphere.
Cedric Smith is another project participant who once fell on dark times. But he remembers people and programs that provided brief oases during his youth – times when he was offered opportunities to learn, grow and be part of something productive.
He recalls celebrations put on by the local multi-agency gang task force, where teens could bring their cars for contests of the loudest stereo systems, play three-on-three basketball or show off their bikes. At one point, some locals started a bike club.
"It was helping us find a hobby in ourselves and have a great time but also learn how to raise money with car washes and stuff," he said, adding that he and other kids even got to go to Disneyland. "When it kind of fell apart … some of the kids started hanging out with the wrong crowds and getting into trouble."
Now, Smith hopes he and the other participants in the Thru Tha Southwest collaboration can give to today's youth what was given, albeit intermittently, to him.
"I'm hoping a building will come that's not a bar, so kids 20 and under can come too," he said. "Give them something to do, dance and have fun. I know not every kid will be all into hip hop or dancing or go to those places, but we could start resources that would help us talk to kids about what they would like to do, and help them grow."
James Gallardo, Choctaw/Mexican/African American, isn't contributing music to the album, but he's making art for the cover. His main interest in the project is that he comes from several generations of a family that has created an infrastructure of support for youth in Flagstaff. His grandmother, Katherine Hickman, 91, was instrumental in creating the Murdoch Center, a preschool in one of Flagstaff's hardest neighborhoods, in the 1960s. Gallardo feels a responsibility to pick up the ball, and he sees the Thru Tha Southwest venture as an ideal fit – especially when it comes to the outreach ambitions.
As for the kids in his community who are falling into drugs and gangs, "they're broken," he says. "They think the system is bringing them down. They haven't been excluded. They've excluded themselves. I have to heal that somehow."
Gallardo wants a chance to try to educate them, build their confidence, and show them a way out. And he agrees that outreach through the hip-hop collaboration is a fine place to start. He also feels a spiritual connection to the collaborative; it aligns with his view that people are on an evolutionary path toward a state where "love is the basis of everything we do."
Ryan "O'Rion" Francher, Navajo, one of the youngest contributors to the collaboration, says he's been inspired already by the group's energy and ideas, as he's participated in the meetings and shared studio time with the other artists.
"When I do it, I feel like O'Rion," he said. "I feel a different part of me."
Despite their occasional differences, none of the participants have any doubt that the project is going to work. That faith may be the strongest thing that unites them.
"The best thing about it," Carrillo said, "is everybody believes in it."

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- DNAWorks, an arts and service organization, will be in residence at Skidmore College this month and present two public performances:
o "Hip Hop: Theatre of Now," an interactive lecture-demo, is scheduled at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10, in Gannett Auditorium, Palamountain Hall.
o "HaMapah/The Map," a multimedia dance journey tracing the intersections of African, American and Jewish heritages, gets under way at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 14, in the Skidmore Dance Theater.
Admission to both is free and open to the public.
Founded in 2006 by Adam McKinney and Daniel Banks, DNAWorks promotes dialog and healing through the arts. The organization is dedicated to furthering artistic expression and dialogue, focusing on issues of identity, culture, class and heritage.
In "Hip Hop Theatre: Theatre of Now," Daniel Banks, one of the founders of DNAWorks, discusses the origins, politics and aesthetics of the recent wave of Hip Hop Theatre in the U.S. and globally. He addresses such questions as the origin of hip hop, its connection to other Afro-centric modes of cultural production and the future of hip hop.
"HaMapah/The Map" is making an encore performance here, following its crowd-pleasing presentation at last June's SaratogaArtsFest.
In Hebrew, "HaMapah" means the tablecloth, or the map. This multimedia, genealogical dance journey traces the intersections of McKinney's heritage. Contemporary dance is interwoven with archival material, personal interviews, Yiddish and American songs, and video set to traditional, contemporary and classical music. In the piece, directed by Banks, McKinney explores issues of identity, ancestry and family.
The program includes a community dialogue with the audience about the core ideas of the piece.
McKinney is a classically trained dancer and former member of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, B�jart Ballet Lausanne, and Alonzo King's LINES Ballet. He has taught master dance classes in the U.S., Hungary, Indonesia, England, Ghana, South Africa and Israel, and has organized programs on social justice and the arts with a long list of organizational partners.
His recognitions include a Jerome Foundation Travel and Study Grant and a Gallatin School (New York University) Jewish Arts grant for work with Ethiopian communities in Israel, the Bronfman Jewish Artist Fellowship for his genealogical dance work for "HaMapah/The Map," and a Career Transition for Dancers grant. He chairs the dance department at the New Mexico School for the Arts, Santa Fe.
An Ariane de Rothschild Fellow, Banks also is a recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts/Theatre Communications Group Career Development Program for directors.
He has been a frequent guest lecturer and has published on a number of theater-related topics, including cultural diplomacy.
