So Much for Truth in Advertising
Abortion and African Americans
Topics: Abortion, Life Issues, Racial Issues
Response to "So Much for Truth in Advertising"
One fact that was missing from your commentary is that the mother of the little girl in the billboard advertisement was horrified that her daughter's picture was used. In a different article that I read, the mother had taken her daughter to a photographer the year before to take pictures in hopes of launching a modeling career for her daughter. The mother never heard anything until a year later when she sees her daughter's picture on a billboard for a political issue. While I am against abortion, I can certainly understand the mother's anguish. When she took her daughter to take pictures the year before, I'm sure she was thinking a Sears or JCPenny advertisement, or maybe a Coca Cola commercial, but not advertisement for a controversial political issue!!! It is my understanding that she (the mother) also contacted the organization behind the billboard and demanded that the postings be removed as well as an apology for using the picture of her little girl without her permission! Sorry, but I certainly empathize with the mother on this one!!!

If you haven't noticed by now, somewhere around this point I started to forget to number my drawings, and since these drawings were done a few months ago I can't quite remember the order. I believe the box-man drawings were all done first, from the top of the page to the bottom, with the ninja drawings done last.

The History of Our Company
A note from the President:
"I think the most important thing I stress to my people is ethics. Our industry has been somewhat stereotyped over the years because some dealerships chose to take advantage of customers and had little regard for customer satisfaction. I believe the key to being successful in our business is building long-term relationships with our customers. This is achieved by providing the customers with a fair price, a job done right the first time, and most importantly, treat customers with the courtesy and respect they deserve. In short, do business with the highest standards and ethics. I think this is why over forty percent of my business comes from previous customers. I promise that the Porter experience will be like no other you are accustomed to when buying your next car, service, or collision repair needs. At Porter, you are truly family."

The Alabama Crimson Tide are on the course to play for their third consecutive national championship if they can win out. That jouney continues tonight as the Tide go on the road to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
So far in this one, Alabama is holding on to a 10-0 lead, which is a little concerning seeing as the Bulldogs aren't really on the level of the Tide to be within that close of a reach to make this a game.
This has to make some members of the two-time defending champs angry.
Well, it certainly made Christion Jones mad.
Jones is generally known for his work on special teams as an explosive return man. He's athletic, he's versatile, he's fast–he's everything you want in the perfect special teams player.
But what a lot of people may not know is that he also plays on the punt coverage team.
For those that didn't know he had this on his list of duties, he just reminded everyone by laying out the Mississippi State punt returner:

Topic: Felix Martin
Posted: April 24 2012 at 04:35
Felix Martin has become a pioneer of a style of playing for his custom-made instrument called the 14-string guitar. He is known for his abilities to compose innovative, highly complex music and for his personal techniques at playing two-handed tapping on the guitar.
Originally from Venezuela, Felix moved to the United States after graduating from high school to attend the prestigious Berklee College as a scholarship winning performer. During that time, Felix studied music theory, sound engineering, self-produced his first album before turning 20, composed music for video games, transcribed every kind of music he could get his hands on (including speaking human voices), and played a wide range of music including Prog-Rock, Jazz, Latin, Electronica, Pop, World, and much more.
Felix in known for developing a flexible way to play the 14-string guitar, which is the same as playing two 7-string guitars at the same time but having both guitars on one wide neck in standard tuning. He has his own system of chords, including deep sounding 8-finger chords, accompaniment methods, slap-tapping techniques, chord-melody, intervallic soloing, and lead soloing played with both fret boards.
Along with a life of performing, Felix has also gained experience as a teacher and clinician. He teaches several of his own methods for guitar and music theory such as slap method, two-handed tapping techniques, odd meters, polyrhythms, metric modulation, jazz rock improvisation, and more. He has also developed his own written method for each of these subjects.
Felix currently tours with his trio and also other artists of various genres. He is working as a session musician as well as a recording, mixing, and mastering engineer.

This guy is a musical genius! Fantastic stuff!
It appears that Rivertree already forwarded a suggestion to the Eclectic team for Felix some time prior to August 2011: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=80461&PID=4255401#4255401. It is known that Eclectic have a bit of a backlog regarding their pending evaluations, and they don't use progfreak so I can't check up on this myself. Needs chasing by someone from the collab zone...urgently!!
Edit: Just in case the problem turns out to be lack of samples (there are only three tracks on the felixmartin.net music page) you can listen to the whole 'Bizzare Rejection' album here: http://www.myspace.com/felixmartine/music/albums/bizarre-rejection-16742861.

Thanks for the update Moris. I didn't realise Prog Metal had been evaluating this guy - I checked progfreak, and found that the Metal team voted to move him over to Heavy Prog, where he has since been cleared: http://progfreak.com/Felix-Martin-152596.html?path=pa/recent. Addition should be fairly imminent I would think, especially now there's been a new suggestion bringing the topic back to the forefront.

The Peanut Butter Solution - American Promotional Poster
The Peanut Butter Solution - Michael Rubbo, 1985
The Peanut Butter Solution
dir. Michael Rubbo, 1985
I originally saw this movie by rental from a video store as a child. Then, decades later two friends of mine were perusing Le Video in San Francisco and found a DVD of this picture on their Shlock & Awes helf. Fortune favors the bold. We were well rewarded for their noble effort. Supporting the last remaining local video store and its surrounding community is highly noble.
This picture is pure entertainment. In many ways it is so wrong, but what it IS, is just so right. In tone, it is like a really long episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark. Ostensibly it is a horror story. It is most definitely Canadian. It is so bad its good. Its so good its GREAT. I haven't laughed this much watching a movie in a while.
I am going to just let the trailer speak for itself on this one. Please watch it.
It was part of a mid-80's series of Canadian children's films called Tales for All. It shares the same library as weirdness giant The Great Land of Small and curiously Australian Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Collector.
I have been searching for a copy for a long time and while tapes are around, and expensive and decaying, the only DVDs ever are french language only, out of print, and only sold in Canada (and the internet).
Lucky for us, youTube has our back.
"The Fly" - A romantic comedy from director David Cronenberg.

Zardoz - John Boorman, 1974
dir. John Boorman, 1974
More than Sean Connery in a red loin cloth. It is also about a giant flying stone head that pukes guns at its servants.
I first saw this movie one night on cable after scanning past the words Sean Connery and science fiction. I did not expect what I got, and am very glad to have got it. This is a film in the old style of science fiction. I like to say, "not about the spaceship" but what I mean is what the story is about is more important than what the set looks like. Think original Star Trek. Crappy looking (admit it) but very substantial.
This story is about immortality and what it might do to humans. I think that it handles the subject very thoughtfully. It also approaches the topic from some angles that many other eternal life movies never seems to. I like the scene about trying to figure out what gives Connery (Zed) an erection. When people are immortal they eventually no longer require children and eventually no longer desire sex. Another example is how the populous punishes thought crimes (evidently the only sort of crime in a sexless world where you get gourmet food for free) by artificially aging you. Think about an eternal life sentence as a 90 year old.
This was directed by John Boorman who is easily most widely known forDeliverance. Rightly so. This movie is sadly overlooked these days. I would call it essential viewing of any proper science fiction fan. While I doubt that it will become your new favorite it will be enjoyable and hopefully thought provoking.
At least this movie more than makes up for the little disaster that we like to call The Exorcist 2. Mr. Boorman did give us James Earl Jones in a locust costume, but at what cost?

Breastmilk can also be used in mashed potatoes, cereal, and muffin mix for a child who is sensitive to milk. And it does wonders at clearing up diaper rash. My daughter was very prone to diaper rash and after my pediatrician recommended it, I got a bad case cleared up by coating the rash in breastmilk for three days and then continued to coat her to prevent further rashes. Problem solved. The article is right about eczema too. It's too late for me to try the other uses!

Linzemae, WIred had a great article a couple years ago on the benefits of breastmilk for a number of health conditions, with adults buying it up too. We used it on our 6 year olds pink eye, and it worked right away. Plus those prescription drops they give you sting like hell, so it was well worth it. Anyway for the eczema, give it a try, it wouldnt hurt anything.

Twinkies (the real ones) back on store shelves in July - Business on NBCNews.com
Stand down Twinkies hoarders, you can start eating your secret stash.
Twinkies will hit store shelves nationally by late July, Michael Cramer, executive vice president of Hostess Brands LLC told NBC News on Thursday. "We expect to be making and selling in July," he said. "Probably the later half of the month before the product hits the stores."
All of the classic Hostess snack brands will return, some making their return in August and September. Hostess Donettes and some of the snack cakes will be among the first to return. And "Twinkies for sure," Cramer said.
In November, all 36 Hostess Brands, Inc., plants shut down after an extended stand-off with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union. That Hostess company has almost completely wound down its operations, selling its assets in pieces. The bulk of the Hostess Snacks brands the public knows best — Twinkies, Cup Cakes, Ho Hos, Zingers, Ding Dongs and Suzy Q's — were purchased in April for $410 million by hedge funds Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co. Other Hostess lines, such as Wonder bread, went to affiliates of Flowers Foods, while its Beefsteak bread brand was snatched up by Grupo Bimbo, S.A.B. de C.V.
It is the new company, Hostess Brands, LLC, that will start hiring this weekend to resume operations with 200 employees at the Dolly Madison Bakery in Columbus, Ga., one of the locations shuttered in November.
As the hiring resumes, it will not be in conjunction with the unions, Cramer said. "We're sure not going to invite the unions in. We don't have to do it," he said. Though of course nothing prevents the workers from unionizing down the line, he said.
But when Twinkies return to the shelves after an absence of more than six months, it will find competition.
Flowers Foods, Inc., which purchased some of Hostess' other assets, has its own Twinkies lookalikes. Its Blue Bird brand sells Bingles while its Mrs. Freshley label sells Dreamies cream-filled cakes. McKee Foods' Little Debbie brand also makes its own Twinkies twin called a Cloud Cake. The name's even trademarked.
A spokesman for Mexico-based Grupo Bimbo, the world's largest bread baker and the owners of Sara Lee and Entenmann's brands in the United States, on Wednesday declined to say whether it was considering its own Twinkies competitor in the United States. But should Grupo Bimbo decide to jump into the fray, it has a pretty good options on hand.
Bimbo already makes a Twinkies lookalike in Mexico called Submarinos, which are available with vanilla, chocolate or strawberry filling. Bimbo Bakeries USA since 1997 has been importing strawberry-filled Submarinos into the United States under its Marinela brand catering to Hispanic customers. In 2012 it started importing the vanilla ones as well, a company spokesman said.
After this story was originally published, a reader sent a picture of another Twinkies clone he said recently hit shelves in Los Angeles. The packaging of the new Golden Creme Cakes state they are made by the Sara Lee division owned by Bimbo Bakeries USA. However, a spokesman for the company declined to confirm they are new Sara Lee products.
The hard-core Hostess fan will return to Hostess, but the discretionary snackers will be the key market to regain, predicted Gary Karp, the executive vice president at Technomic Inc., a food industry research and consulting firm. "Their absence has allowed people to try a variety of products that are out there," Karp said.

Judge Approves Sales Of Twinkies, Wonder Bread
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — A bankruptcy judge has given final approval for the sale of Twinkies, Wonder Bread and many of Hostess Brands' other assets, clearing the way for the iconic products to return to shelves.
Hostess snacks — including Twinkies, Ho Hos, Ding Dongs and Zingers — were sold for $410 million to a joint venture of private equity firms Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co. They expect to return the product to store shelves this summer.
Wonder Bread and most of Hostess' other bread brands was purchased by baker Flowers Foods for $360 million. The company has yet to give a date for when those breads will be back in stores. On Thursday, Judge Robert Drain also approved the $31.9 million sale of the Beefsteak bread brand to baker Grupo Bimbo, a Mexico-based company that is one of the largest U.S. bakers.
None of these products have been manufactured since Hostess, which was already in bankruptcy court, went out of business during a strike by members of its bakers' union. The company has been selling off its brands since then to try to raise money for creditors. Thursday's sales account for more than $800 million.
Flowers is buying 20 bakeries and about 38 depots with its purchase; Apollo and Metropoulos are buying five bakeries.
Court approval is still pending for some other winning bidders, including privately held McKee Foods' purchase of the Drake's snack business for $27.5 million, and United States Bakery's $28.85 million winning bid for Hostess' Sweetheart, Eddy's, Standish Farms, and Grandma Emilie's bread brands, along with four bakeries.

Twinkie lovers can relax: Hostess sale is imminent - Business on NBCNews.com
Hostess Brands is close to announcing that it has picked two investment firms — C. Dean Metropoulos & Co. and Apollo Global Management — as the lead bidders for its Twinkies and other snack cakes, according to a source close to the situation.
The so-called stalking horse bid would be for more than $400 million, according to the Wall Street Journal. It would serve as the baseline offer for the business and could be topped by others at an auction. A judge would have to approve any final sale.
Earlier this month, Hostess chose a $390 million offer by Flowers Foods , maker of Tastykake products, as the stalking horse bid for several brands including Wonder bread and Drake's.
On Monday, Hostess said it chose McKee Foods Corp, maker of Little Debbie snack cakes, as the initial bidder for its Drake's cakes, which include Ring Dings, Yodels and Devil Dogs. It also chose United States Bakery as the lead bidder for four of its smaller bread brands plus bakeries, equipment and depots.

Hostess Liquidation To Proceed, Bankruptcy Judge Rules
Hostess will proceed with liquidation, a bankruptcy judge ruled Wednesday, according to Bloomberg.
Ben Popken, of NBC News, also reported the news on Twitter, quoting the judge as saying "Sadly… proceed to liquidation." The move comes just one day after a last-ditch effort at mediation between Hostess and the Baker's Union broke down.

(via Matt Taibbi on MSNBC's The Ed Show: Hostess' 'Incompetent' Management Killed The Company)
A little liquidation scare is no reason to mess with Twinkies, according to Matt Taibbi.
The Rolling Stone contributor told MSNBC's Ed Schultz Monday that workers and their "pensions and benefits" are getting the blame for the possible Hostess shutdown instead of the company's management, who, he says, is actually responsible for the Twinkie-maker's woes.
"Everybody likes Twinkies, there's nothing wrong with the product," Taibbi said. "The workers are doing a good job, they're putting out a good product — it's that management has been incompetent, and it's unfortunate that the narrative has shifted all the blame to the workers."
Taibbi's assessment of the situation isn't universal, with many people blaming the company's demise on the American consumer's changing tastes.
Hostess announced Friday that the company planned to liquidate and lay off all of its 18,500 workers, citing an ongoing strike that the company claimed was crippling its operations. On Monday, a bankruptcy judge ordered that Hostess enter into mediation with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, the group representing the striking workers, saying that he had "serious questions as to the logic behind this strike."
The Teamsters, the other union representing Hostess workers, agreed to major pay and pension cuts in September in an aim to save the company and their jobs, even though they had already taken a hit during the company's first bankruptcy.
"It's part of this overall mythology that we have to blame the workers for wanting benefits and wanting a living wage," he said.

Hostess fails to reach agreement with bakers union, continues with attempt to shutdown
Hostess Brands Inc. lived to die another day.
The maker of Twinkies and Ding Dongs said late Tuesday that it failed to reach an agreement with and its second biggest union. As a result, the company will continue with a hearing on Wednesday in which a bankruptcy court judge will decide if the company can liquidate
The talks had come as a surprise after Hostess declared last week it would move to wind down its business and start selling off its assets in bankruptcy court. After making its case to liquidate on Monday, however, the bankruptcy judge hearing the case noted the two sides hadn't yet tried resolving their differences through private mediation. The judge noted that 18,000 jobs were on the line and urged the company and union to try to resolve their differences.
The Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, which represents about 30 percent of the company's workers, says the company's demise was the result of years of mismanagement, however, and that workers have already given steep concessions over the years.
Hostess, Union Agree To Mediate, Likely Helping Twinkie-Maker Avoid Shutdown
Hostess Brands and the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers' International Union agreed to mediate on Monday, according to a tweet from CNBC. The agreement will reportedly prevent a Hostess liquidation, which the company announced Friday could be imminent.
The Bakers' Union had been fighting a proposal to significantly cut worker pay and pensions, and Hostess claimed that the striking workers made it impossible for the company to produce its products.

Twinkies likely to survive sale of Hostess
DETROIT (AP) — Twinkie lovers, relax.
The tasty cream-filled golden spongecakes are likely to survive, even though their maker will be sold in bankruptcy court.
Hostess Brands Inc., baker of Wonder Bread as well as Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Ho Ho's, will be in a New York bankruptcy courtroom Monday to start the process of selling itself.
The company, weighed down by debt, management turmoil, rising labor costs and the changing tastes of America, decided on Friday that it no longer could make it through a conventional Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring. Instead, it's asking the court for permission to sell assets and go out of business.
But with high brand recognition and $2.5 billion in revenue per year, other companies are interested in bidding for at least pieces of Hostess. Twinkies alone have brought in $68 million in revenue so far this year, which would look good to another snack-maker.
Hostess has said it's received inquiries about buying parts of the company. But spokesman Lance Ignon would not comment on analysts' reports that Thomasville, Ga.-based Flowers Foods Inc. and private equity food investment firm Metropoulos & Co. are likely suitors. Metropoulos owns Pabst Brewing Co., while Flowers Foods makes Nature's Own bread, Tastykake treats and other baked goods. Messages were left for spokesmen for both companies on Sunday.
"We think there's a lot of value in the brands, and we'll certainly be trying to maximize value, both of the brands and the physical assets," Ignon said Sunday. He said it's possible some of Hostess' bakeries will never return to operation because the industry has too much bakery capacity.
Then last week thousands of members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union went on strike after rejecting the company's latest contract offer. The bakers union represents about 30 percent of the company's workforce.
By that time, the company had reached a contract agreement with its largest union, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which this week urged the bakery union to hold a secret ballot on whether to continue striking. Although many bakery workers decided to cross picket lines this week, Hostess said it wasn't enough to keep operations at normal levels.
The company filed a motion to liquidate Friday. The shuttering means the loss of about 18,500 jobs. Hostess said employees at its 33 factories were sent home and operations suspended. Its roughly 500 bakery outlet stores will stay open for several days to sell remaining products.
News of the decision caused a run on Hostess snacks at many stores around the country, and the snacks started appearing on the Internet at inflated prices.

Rush Limbaugh Goes Psycho and Blames Obama and Unions for Killing Twinkies
Rush Limbaugh is blaming President Obama for the fact that Hostess could not come to an agreement with its striking employees and decided lay off 18,500 employees by closing the plant. In Limbaugh's mind, Obama has Twinkie blood on his hands.
Transcript from Rush Limbaugh:
Rush Limbaugh: Look, here I'm already being asked, "Are you gonna talk about Hostess?" Yeah, I'm gonna talk about Hostess. You know what, 18,500 people gone, Hostess Twinkies, Ding Dongs, shut down. Some people might think it's a buy opportunity if you want to get in the Ding Dong business. But folks, if you need an indication that the Democrats will never compromise on anything, look at this. Hostess is going out of business because of unions. Now, that's 18,500 jobs. You would think in this economy that somebody might want to show the ability to compromise if only to fool people. They won't even compromise on this.
Unions are the Democrat Party. Trumka is at the White House again today. Won't even compromise to save 18,500 jobs. Are you kidding me? Obama couldn't step in here even for the optics of it? I mean, yesterday he saved New York. Today he could save Ding Dongs. He could save Twinkies, except at the White House Michelle's probably celebrating, 'cause this is just rotten, no good food to her. But, see, I think they wanted this, folks. I think they wanted Hostess bye-bye. And you know why? They wanted this to happen because this is just going to create more dependents on unions and the government. It's just gonna create more dependents. So this is all fine with Barry.
I know nobody understands me. I'm doing this program with a whole different mind-set now. Snerdley's in there panicking. I'm saying mind-set. As I do this program I'm imagining how I'm being heard by all these uneducated, ill-educated, maleducated young people, and it's fun, and I'm sure that they're throwing daggers at their radio because they just heard me criticize Obama on this Hostess thing. Anyway it's a funny thing. It's actually a build-out on some of the things that we were discussing yesterday about the battles that we face really being cultural as well as, if not more than, politics. Anyway, the Hostess thing is what it is. It's gone. We knew it was coming. It just illustrates there's no desire to compromise.
Limbaugh's blaming of Obama and unions leaves out a couple of important facts.
Hostess is dead due to Bain style management that has decided to maximize their profits by liquidating the company. In short, the "job creators" decided to make more money for themselves by killing 18,500 jobs.
If President Obama would have intervened, Limbaugh would have called him a socialist who hates the free market. Since Obama didn't intervene, he is a socialist who is trying to create more dependents on the federal government. Either way, Rush Limbaugh's psycho interpretation of The Day The Twinkies Died is complete and utter nonsense.
Unions didn't kill Hostess, people who believe in the Mitt Romney school of management killed Hostess. America's so-called job creators will pocket additional millions while 18,500 workers will be out of a job. Those are facts that Rush Limbaugh and right wing media bubble cronies don't want to discuss.

Today is a sad day for those that worked for Hostess Brands and for workers' rights.
BREAKING: Hostess Brands to close as revenge for the striking workers standing up for their rights
This morning, we have received tragic news that Hostess Brands will shut down, in retaliation for the striking workers standing up for their rights.
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Hostess Brands says it is going out of business, closing plants that make Twinkies and Wonder Bread and laying off all of its 18,500 workers.
The Irving, Texas, company says a nationwide worker strike crippled its ability to make and deliver its products at several locations.
Hostess had warned employees that it would file a motion in U.S. Bankruptcy Court to unwind its business and sell assets if plant operations didn't return to normal levels by Thursday evening.
Laura Clawson at Daily Kos on Hostess lying to its workers regarding the strike and closures:
Workers at more than 20 Hostess plants have gone on strike after overwhelmingly rejecting the company's demands for major wage and benefits concessions. In response, Hostess is claiming that it may have to close plants because of the strike. The Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers, and Grain Millers union has a convincing argumentThat's a lie, though.
Of course, right-wing loons will blame this on the unions.

Social Work Program
Have you every felt like you want to work with people, but are just not quite sure of the best major? Maybe you feel called to "ministry," just not behind the pulpit. Perhaps you have considered counseling individuals or married couples, working with children in schools or who are in trouble with the law, helping immigrants to the United States, feeding the hungry, ministering to the homeless, helping couples adopt a child, working with teens who are struggling with alcohol or drug addictions, or maybe going overseas to work in a third world country. If any of these sound interesting to you then consider social work as a major! Social work teaches you the basic skills of working with people and provides you the opportunity to serve God in so many different occupations.

The Social Work Club exists to provide students opportunities to participate in compassionate ministry projects and serve the community around Trevecca.
The club consists of social work majors/minors, compassionate ministry minors, and other students that might be interested in the social work field. As one of the goals, the club hopes to increase campus awareness on the vital social issues in the world around us and information on what the profession of social work has to offer.
Meetings are typically held once a month by the president and club sponsors (social work professors). The most recent activities have consisted of a warm coat/outerwear drive during Homecoming week where donations are given to benefit refugees through a local organization. Also, there is now a formal Social Work newsletter that is distributed monthly. It is distributed electronically as well as different places on campus.
Within the club, there is a special bonding for social work majors that share similar interests. In the 2010 fall semester, the Social Work professors hosted an evening party for the social work club members which was a great opportunity to have fun and socialize with others in the social work field. Together, members provide support for one another as they are beginning to pursue a professional career. There is always a possibility for networking within and outside the group for those who are pursuing job/practicum/internship opportunities.
Currently, the members are working on designing club T-shirts that will remind all people that "everyone has value and worth." We are always looking for service project ideas! Contact us for any suggestions or questions!

I may be having to defer my place too
After a mere 30 minute run my dodgy knee was playing up again today. Possibly not helped trying some new shoes that are the furthest away from minimalist I've tried for years. ITB seems more likely. If getting over that burns another week or so before I can get back on schedule it will be nearly 3 weeks lost in total recently. I will see how it goes.
The plan said 55 mins of basic intervals but I only managed 12 mins before I bailed. I felt ill with coldy like things going on, I had the residual toe/foot aches from yesterday and, having returned to my old shoes, seemed to be starting to pick up knee grief again today too.
Don't think I've had so many aches going on in a run before so I hope the partial rest will do the trick. I can use the time to shoe shop.
90 minutes said the plan. Lovely warm sunny day here in Brighton. It got me quite hot even though I was mostly trying to take it easy.
Knees behaveds so I'm happy about that.
I've been trying out some shoes (because they are super low weight which I thought would be good) with a 2mm toe drop for the last 3 runs & now I have a very achy big toe joint. I think I better go back to the zero drop ones while I work out what shoes to replace them with.
60 minutes "jog" said the plan so I did that. No knee pain while running.
About 10 minutes after getting home I went up some steps & could feel a slight dull ache in the "tibialis anterior" but this time not the tendon but in the muscle. It's a few hours later now & I can't feel any aches (phew, fingers crossed). I mostly think I'm getting over the knee thing but everytime a hint of ache pops up it makes me nervous !
Hi Franz, I'll be 50 this year (nooooo!) but have done a lot less running that you I think. I normally keep it mostly flat at the moment as in the past I found hills kicked off knee trouble (I thought). Other than getting to/from bits of Brighton from up on top of the hill where I live I've mostly been picking off parts of the marathon route which is quite flat.
I guess that the going uphill part of doing hills means more work for less miles but the downhill might be the other way around & make for worse problems. I find that I can pick up crazy paces (for me) downhill & it's frequently at these times when injuries get you... but I guess I can try to wear a sensible hat and keep it slow downhill.
I have 60 minutes tomorrow and 90 on Sunday. If those lead to the same trouble (on the flatter routes) then I will try out your idea of more hills for less time. It's a good suggestion.
The Plan said 30 minutes and I did what the plan said for the first time in 12 days (except 1 rest day!). I (deliberately) ran slower than yesterday and the knee pain was there during the run but less than yesterday. Strangely it seems that the knee pain today shifted around more to the outside again, back to as if it's an ITB issue.
After my run & breakfast I did some exercises meant to help ITB issues and I either felt nothing or it made things worse than the running. It's not bad now, just a very mild dull ache now & I expect it will be gone in an hour. Confusing.
I wonder if the change of pace & what it (seemed to) affect says anything. Ave pace today 9:33m/m and ache site indicates ITB. Ave pace yesterday 8:44m/m and site is next muscle/tendon around towards the front ("tibialis anterior").

Thanks guys, it seems okay when I run just quite painful when I am walking. Maybe I should just run everywhere lol. Kind of tempted to just keep training and hope it sorts itself out, Id rather not miss out on the training plan as started it late so I don't have any time to spare really.

I sometimes have knee pain if I walk & there's a small hill or two. This was an issue when running but I found that increasing my cadence (now average 200 spm) really helped (for running only, to the point where that specific pain does not happen now - with the rapid footsteps). Can't really work it into my walking tho', I think it would be mincing!
Yesterday I started doing some exercises to try & help with my knee problem (which I thought was either runners knee or an ITB issue). I started doing leg raises and within 1 set my knee was off again. I decided to blow out yesterday.
No knee pain this morning. Decided to ignore any knee treatment. Got 25 mins in. V mild knee pain towards the end. More knee pain 5 mins after stopping. Knee pain gone about an hour after.
While I had more knee pain I tried again to work out where it was. I think my ID of the pain site was out before. It's more the lower/outer/front which on a diagram looks like the top of the "tibialis anterior" muscle here:
So far it looks like one stretch I can do is to put the bad leg behind with the foot on the side pointing in. Then gently lower on my good leg to stretch the offending muscle.
Wish I knew how to help other peeps with these things as I know it's a 'mare. I'll let you know if my plan works for my issue.
I agree that see a physio would be good but as I'm "between contracts" (not working) at the moment, the private ones are too much. The chance of seeing an NHS one in time (for the marathon) are zero from past experience.
I've looked up exercises for both suggestions and have now done one session for both legs (to keep things even) and for both opinions (runners knee & ITB). It was interesting trying them & as some were a bit tricky I'm sure they won't do any harm.
No residual knee pain before or after now so it's re-assuring that the earlier run has done no apparent harm (fingers X'd). Perhaps I'll do that 1/2 marathon now, that I missed yesterday, see you later... OK, sensible hat on. I'll see if I come across any more exercises to try & then see what tomorrow & beyond brings for easing back in to the running.
I'm not getting much change out of 1.5 hours of non-running exercises done for running now that I've added those in too. I may need to cull some soon... or there won't be time left to run.
Thank you for the suggestions folks.

Piggyback - what wrong with the knee?
Piggyback - what wrong with the knee?
It's hard to pin point but it's on the outside (right knee) and during running it feels more like it's something around the middle (outside) perhaps even a little forward of the middle. But, once I stop running & cool off it seems to ache more further back.
I have continued to rest it until today, (was meant to do half marathon distance yesterday ).
I tried a test run again today of roughly 0.5 miles and could feel it was not 100% cured with a little ache towards the end of the run and a tiny bit post run so now I'm not certain how to proceed.
I think my best bet is probably to blow out another few days & try again then with some back to basics and another test run. I may then be able to sneak back up to full duration runs over a number of days or a perhaps a week.
