First Marathon Story: Valerie
Happy Friday! I just got out of work, and I am SO excited for a long weekend.
Here's another First Marathon Story, from another one of my gchat besties, Valerie. I will probably say this any time I post one of these, but I am SO excited for her.

Years running
I ran my first 5K in March 2011 and have been running on and off since then, but only regularly since June of this year.
Marathon training for
Walt Disney World Marathon in January 2013
Why I decided to run a marathon
Other than because I've lost my mind? It's something I'd been thinking about for a few years, and becoming friends with a bunch of runners only made the voice in the back of my head stronger. I've never been particularly athletic, and it's something I want to prove to myself that I can do.
My fiance Kevin and I went to Disney World with friends a couple years ago, and ever since we've thought it would be fun to do the marathon there if we ever made the commitment to do a long race. With the Disney marathon's 20th anniversary in January (and my upcoming 30th birthday later this year) I figured this year was as good as any to do it!
How is marathon training measuring up to your expectations? What's better or worse than you expected?
First of all, running is HARD. It's just not something that comes naturally for me. I started out with a nearly 17 minute mile and over 10 weeks have gotten that down to just under 15 on a good day. Thankfully we still have 4.5 months to go for me to get stronger and faster.
One thing that's definitely easier than I'd anticipated is just getting out there and running four times a week. We just missed our first run this past week, and that's because we were up in New York and our feet were worn out from all the walking. It's been really great to have Kevin as my training partner and to help keep me accountable. As for anything that's harder than I expected, I honestly expected this to be kind of awful and, well, it hasn't been! It's hard during, of course, but I always feel better once I've finished a run. We're only up to 5 .5 miles, though, so I expect my feelings may change once we approach double digit mileage.
Number of days running per week
Four. We're following Hal Higdon's Novice Supreme training plan to the letter, except that I need to get better about doing cross training.
What are you most excited about for the race?
Crossing the finish line and having the volunteers place the medal around my neck! I have several friends who are also running the marathon and half marathon that weekend, so I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone down there. We're making a vacation out of the trip and will spend the four days after the race hobbling around the parks, and yes, I will wear my medal every single day.
What are you most terrified of?
The sweepers. Disney makes you maintain a 16 minute per mile pace, or they politely escort you to the loser van. The idea of spending 7 months training, trying your best and then not finishing makes me want to throw up.
Do you think you'll ever run another marathon?
Let's see how I do with the first one before deciding! I've heard they've addictive, but time will tell.
Number of black toenails so far
Zero and I hope to keep it that way! But I have an extensive nail polish collection should the need arise.
First Marathon Story: Kimra
A bunch of my friends have decided to drink the marathon Kool-Aid and are training for their first marathons. I'm ridiculously excited for them—and everyone else training for their first marathons. I remember how excited I was for my first marathon and want to vicariously live through others' first times, so I'm starting an Official Blog Series sharing the stories of those training for their first marathons. Are you training for your first marathon and want to be featured? Email me at theodora.blanchfield @ gmail.com and I will feature you!
Today's installment comes from another one of my gchat besties, Kimra!

Why I decided to run a marathon
When people ask me where I'm from, I have a few answers. I was born in a small town, Escanaba, in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I grew up in the suburbs of Milwaukee, WI. When I go "home" these days, it's usually to Chicago where my parents currently live. Apart from being quintessentially…
So proud!!!
I Get To Sign Up for the NYC Marathon Today!!!
I am counting down the seconds until noon. When, after a year of
sacrificed beer hard work, early weekend wake-up calls and races in the extreme heat, extreme cold, and everywhere in between, I get to sign up for the NYC Marathon! I'm trying not to jump up and down at my desk!
Last night, I wasn't sure if I was going to have more to eat. Obviously, I did.
I had some Trader Joe's Punjab Choley in the fridge, and I threw it over some brown rice. It could have maybe used some greens, but it was a good, quick dinner.
This morning, I had another whole wheat English muffin with sunflower butter and a banana. Quick, easy and easy to transport. (One of the things I HATE about bringing food to work is lugging big bags on the subway or while I'm walking.)
If you're reading this blog and you're not on Tumblr, you might want to check out my post on the fabulous Katy Widrick's blog about why I use Tumblr and why it may or may not be good for you and your blog.
So What Happens AFTER You Run a Marathon?
My last post left off at the finish line, but I've always wondered about after a marathon, so I thought I'd share with you my experience.
As soon as I had grabbed my bagel, banana, etc., I immediately picked up the phone to call my mom and find her. I needed a hug and badly. I also, very literally, needed someone to lean on. I think we were both a little delirious from the heat, because we had a hard time finding each other. I had told her I was walking towards the family meet-up area, but then I sat down and forgot to tell her that. Eventually, we met up by the flower truck, where she had a bouquet of sunflowers waiting for me (when I was little, my favorite song for her to sing to me was "You Are My Sunshine") and a balloon.
I remember her telling me we could get a cab if we crossed Michigan Ave. We stood out there for about two minutes, and I realized everyone else had the same idea. I remember thinking, even if it hurt, I'd rather start walking back to the hotel than stand there waiting for a cab with thousands of other people. We got probably about 60% of the way back to the hotel when I finally found a cab. At this point, my mom was walking around in socks because her feet hurt so badly from putting on new sneakers that morning and wandering Chicago in search of her marathoning daughter.
We got back to the hotel, and I hung out a bit with Bobbi, Meghann and Kelly. And stretched:
We walked next door to get burgers at 312:
I got two more Goose Island 312s here, and they were much better than the ones I had at the finish line.
We went back to the hotel room, and I took a looooong nap. I woke up around 8 absolutely ravenous but still too tired to go out to eat, so we ordered deep dish pizza from Lou Malnati's to the room:
I woke up yesterday with a terrible cold (I'd been sick a few weeks ago and I think my body's been fighting this off since then and surrendered after I made it run a marathon) and decided that a boat tour would be the perfect way to see a little more of Chicago without having to walk. We walked over to the Corner Bakery for breakfast, and I had eggs, toast and fruit.
And we went on the boat tour.
Our adorable tour guide.
Marina City, otherwise known as the corn-on-the-cob building. Every single apartment has some kind of amazing view, and they are all pie-shaped, which must make them really hard to furnish.
Apparently at one point, the Coast Guard turned this lighthouse over to a private civilian to take care of, and he started throwing wild parties there, so the Coast Guard took it back.
Me and my mom :)
The airport and flight back yesterday, in one word, sucked. I was feeling really sick at this point and incredibly tired. I usually take a little something to relax on flights, but feeling so sick, I didn't want to fall asleep in the cab on the way back and have the cab driver have to wake me up. There was a massive storm in NYC last night, which I made it back before, but there must have been storminess in the air, because there was definite OMG-I'm-going-to-die turbulence at one point. I made it back, got some Pump, wrote that epic marathon recap post and went to sleep.
Back to my regular routine…
But now, I'm a marathoner :)
Chicago Marathon: I Was Born to Run 10-10-10
[Title refers to this video.]
First of all, I really can't thank everyone enough for your encouragement. I was very honest about how nervous I was about running a marathon, and I got all kinds of great e-mails, comments, tweets from people who knew much more about running a marathon than me. In the days leading up to the marathon, I got far more messages than I could keep up with. So if I haven't gotten back to you yet, just know that I definitely read and smiled at your e-mail or tweet.
Now, on to my recap of my first marathon!!
When the alarm on my phone started blaring "Put a Ring On It" at 5am yesterday, I hopped out of bed. (I put a really loud song on so that I'd have to hop right out of bed.) Inside, I was freaking the hell out, but I tried to play it cool because the other girls didn't seem to be freaking out too much.
I woke up to some stomach trouble, which freaked me out even more. Would I have to stop every 3 miles to use a port-a-potty? I popped some Immodium and figured there was nothing more I could do about my stomach, and I started eating a banana and a Clif bar. Bananas are easy to digest, so I went for the banana first. I could only get about halfway through the Clif bar, so I brought the rest with me to nibble on at the start line.
My mom was staying in the same hotel as me while I stayed with my friends, so she came down just before I was to leave so we could walk over to Laurel's hotel together, so she could watch with Laurel's mom. My hands were too shaky for me to pin my bib on, so she helped:
And a shot of all the girls:
Let me say it again: these were awesome roomies. We had so much fun, and that took my mind off of the marathon as much as possible. I didn't start thoroughly freaking out until the night before the race. That's pretty impressive. I even slept like a rock the night before, which is unheard of for me the night before a major race.
My mom and I walked over to Laurel's hotel, and Laurel and I walked over to the start together:
As Laurel and I were about to say goodbye, who happened to walk by? E! This was amazing, because we were able to line up together and even run the first mile together.
[Sorry for the shady pic. She keeps her blog anonymous, so I respect her wishes.]
While it was awesome rooming with girls who'd run marathons before and walking over with speed-demon Laurel, starting the race with a fellow marathon virgin was actually perfect—we both were feeling exactly the same way: nervous, excited and overflowing with emotion.
We weaved through thousands of people to sneak our way into the 4:30 pace group, which was the ideal time both of us were hoping for. (Yeah, yeah, even though you're "not supposed to" have a time goal for your first marathon.) I figured that even if I couldn't achieve 4:30, at least I'd be in front of the walkers/run-walkers.
My Garmin had no problem initially picking up satellite reception, but not even 1 mile in, it lost reception under a tunnel. FAIL. After that, the distance and the splits were all messed up, so I was basically wearing a $300 stopwatch. Awesome. Once E and I actually started running, we stopped talking—partly because I think we were both so in shock that we were running a marathon and partly because I think we were both trying to conserve every last bit of energy. Once we got to the Mile 1 marker, E stopped to run/walk and we wished each other luck and split up. I ended up seeing her in my peripheral vision a few more times in the first few miles but not again after that.
My mom and I had talked about where she might be: I thought she'd be at Mile 3 and then again at Mile 13, so as I got close to Mile 3, I started looking out for her. Emily had said she'd be at Mile 4 and 11, and I was excited about the possibility of spying one of my fave Tumblrs on a corner, but alas, I didn't see her either.
I had vowed that I wouldn't use my phone save for maybe an occasional photo, but after mile 4, I started texting my mom. If she flew all the way to Chicago to watch me run a marathon, I was going to make sure we saw each other. She's not exactly the world's best texter, but I finally figured out she was at Mile 12. I think I held onto my phone until after I saw her, just in case she moved. This was actually kind of amazing, as I saw Twitter notifications and texts coming in, and they kept me going.
After a while, I stopped looking for my mom because it was getting really distracting. I knew I'd see her at some point, so I just hoped I'd hear her. Since I was pretty sure she was at 12, that kept me running strong from Miles 7 to 12.
But before I could get to Mile 7…I had to stop to use a Porta Potty. I guess I'd drank too much water in preparation (really?!!!), because I had to pee REALLY badly by then. I was hoping I'd sweat it out, but I hadn't. From at least Mile 3 to the 10K (6.2 mile) mark, I was playing a mental game of "should I or shouldn't I?" As I got to the Mile 7 aid station, I decided things weren't going to get any better and it'd be worth whatever time it took. It ended up taking about 6 minutes, but I figured that I'd be able to run faster once my bladder was empty.
After that, I was a little nervous that I'd drink too much and have to pee again. My stomach was also sort of rumbly on-and-off until this point, so I was worried I'd have to stop…for that reason. Luckily, that one Porta Potty break was the only one I took. I ran 7-12 pretty strong, just hoping to see my mom. The spectators in Chicago were amazing, but there's nothing like seeing *your own* spectator, especially when it's your mom. I'd been scanning the crowd, but it was so packed at that point that I started hoping again just to hear her…AND I DID!!!! The best part of that course, other than the finish line, was hands-down, the big hug my mom gave me at Mile 12.
The best part after that was the halfway point. I was so excited to see this that I took a picture of it and tweeted it! People had asked me before if I'd be tweeting during the race, and I laughed. It's really hard to use your phone when your hands are sweaty. But I knew how many people were tracking me, and I knew that the tracking was off (I'd signed up to track my roomies), so I wanted to update y'all!
Yeah, it's blurry, but I was busy running a marathon! The time clock there says 2:52, but my time was 2:29 (you're timed by when you cross the start, not when the gun goes off, luckily). Since my Garmin was off, I had no idea what pace that was, but knew that it was faster than my first half-marathon and that I was on pace to finish under 5:00. At that point, I felt great, so I was hoping for negative splits and that I'd actually make up some time…
Little did I know, it was about to get hotter. When I started the race it was about 65 degrees. When I finished, it was above 80 degrees. Since I'd trained all summer in the heat, I foolishly thought I'd be just fine. I remember telling E and Laurel that I wasn't too worried about the potential heat. Around mile 14, I remember my mind starting to get a little fuzzy. I remember thinking "ok! At mile 15, I'm at single digits!" Well, 26-9=17, not 15, so I still had 2 miles to go to single digits.
At the beginning of the race, I'd alternated Gatorade and water at the stops, but after about mile 16, I started taking Gatorade at the beginning of the water stop and water at the end. I remember thinking, it's getting hot. I don't care if I'm going to have to pee again, I don't want to pass out. I want to finish this damn race.
Other than the bathroom break, I hadn't stopped to walk at all until Mile 18. When I stopped to walk at Mile 18, I thought everything was going to fall apart. They refer to hitting "the wall" in a marathon, and I hit at mile 18. I didn't think I'd be able to finish, and I stopped to stretch my calves on a curb. Leaning against a tree, I took deep, yoga-style breaths and started talking to myself "YOU CAN DO THIS!" I said. Right around this point, I also got an amazing text. My friend and former boss (and one of my fave people ever) Morgan had been tracking me and she texted me "You're going strong! Great work!" She ran the Chicago Marathon herself in 2007, so her words meant a lot to me and really helped through this rough stretch on the course.
At this point, I made a mental pact with myself. I would just run to finish, not worry about time. I'd run when I could and walk when I had to. Miles 18-20 were pretty rough. It took every bit of mental courage I had left at that point. I've heard most runners hit their wall at Mile 20, but I summoned up some last bits of strength to finish up my first marathon.
At Mile 20, I was excited that I'd be running further than I'd ever run before. (The most I ran in training was 20). Once I'd passed the 20 mile marker, I was psyched. Just a 10K! I've run further than I've ever run before! And further than most people will ever run!) I thought I'd see my coworker-in-another-office Jen at mile 22.5, so I remember wanting to look strong when I ran past her. Sadly, I never saw her either, but aside from a stretch in MIle 21 through Chinatown (which was really cool!) where I stopped to walk out some stomach pain, I ran 20-22.5 relatively strongly, considering the heat.
Once I passed 22.5 and was coming up on 23 and not going to see Jen, I started walking a bit. I knew I wanted to run as much of 23-26.2 as possible. I haven't looked at my splits on my Garmin yet because I'm mad at him, but I remember running a decent amount. My goal pace was anything under an 11:00 mile, and I remember hovering right around an 11:05 minute mile at this point. It was slower than I wanted, but at this point, the heat advisory level was at red, so I just kept reminding myself to be careful.
I remember passing Mile 25 and my watch saying something around 4:47/8. I knew I'd missed my first two goals, but 5:00 was still in reach. I told myself to run as much as possible, but it was okay to take a little walk break if I had to. I remember passing a sign that said "one mile left" and thinking I CAN DO THIS. I'M ABOUT TO FINISH A MARATHON!!!! I almost started crying. I know I was definitely smiling.
At this point, the roar of the crowd was deafening. Earlier on when I was hurting, this actually pissed me off a little bit. I wanted to tell them all to leave me alone. I could have pulled out my headphones, but that required far more coordination and energy than I had at that point. But at mile 25, I was SO HAPPY to hear the roar of the crowd. Hearing that took me through to the end. At the 26 mile marker, I was screaming inside I'M ABOUT TO FINISH MY FIRST MARATHON!! I DID IT! The course went uphill for a bit (seriously?? WTF? Not cool, Chicago Marathon), but I remember thinking "what goes up must come down," and that as long as I stayed strong over the hill, I'd make it through.
My watch said 4:57ish at 26, and I started doing mental calculations. "If I run a 10:00 mile, I can do .2 miles in 2 minutes, and finish under 5:00." A 10:00 mile is usually pretty easy for me, but I'm not usually running a marathon. In 80+ degree heat. Still, I pulled out the little I had left to propel me to the finish line. I remember seeing people in front of me motioning for the crowds to scream louder, and grinning like an idiot, I did the same.
When the finish line came into view, I wanted to jump and down. But I figured that I'd get run over and not finish under 5:00, so I put EVERYTHING I HAD left into that last stretch.
And became a marathoner!!! I know it's cliche, but so many emotions and thoughts washed over me as I crossed: relief, excitement, exhilaration, panic (would I pass out?), pride, nostalgia (thinking of the me who never thought she could do this), loneliness.
I was okay for most of the race with running alone—it meant I got to run at my own pace, for better or worse—but all I wanted on the other side of the finish line was a familiar face to hug or high-five. Instead, I got my mylar cape (it was too hot to wear, but I wanted it for a keepsake), banana, bagel…and beer. Goose Island had a beer truck just past the finish, and I grabbed an ice-cold 312. I'd seen signs during the race saying "Will run for beer" or "4 miles till beer," and it was all I could think of. I had about three sips, and threw it out. It tasted like your dad's beer tastes when you're 10 years old and try a sip of it—NASTY. I was so disappointed.
In some ways, the marathon was harder than I'd expected. Most of my training runs were great, so I didn't realize how much deeper inside myself I'd have to dig to finish. (I also didn't realize how hot it'd be.) It was also easier than I expected: I didn't pass out, I don't feel like I walked *too* much, and I'm no more sore right now than I've been after a hard long run.
Official finish: 4:59:22
Will I do it again?
New York 2011.
(Two more NYRR races to run and 1 to volunteer at, and I'm in.)
This is what a marathon finisher looks like!
4:59!! I showed that Chicago Marathon who was who.

The Cincinnati Bengals signed their late round picks from the 2014 NFL Draft over the past few days, and on Friday, they inked fourth round selection Russell Bodine. It was believed the Bengals would take a center sometime in the draft process, and they did so, taking the North Carolina product with the 111th overall pick.
Bodine wasn't on the radars of a lot of fans, but he was apparently the apple of the eyes of the Bengals coaching staff, and they traded up to select him, giving up a sixth round pick in the process. His strength caught the attention of many, as the 42 reps in the benchpress were the most at this year's NFL Combine. Head coach Marvin Lewis sees his ability to impose his will on defenders, and propensity to push guys around as a major plus in the physical AFC North. Bodine also possesses good balance and instincts for the position, especially in the run game, where he excels.
Fans and analysts alike panned the selection, especially the trade up to get him, but coaches are thrilled to have him. He figures to compete for the starting center job right away with Mike Pollak, who played center in college, but mostly guard in the NFL. The team wanted to get better in the middle of their offensive line, and they feel like Bodine does just that.
Bodine's signing leaves just Darqueze Dennard, Jeremy Hill, and Will Clarke as unsigned draft picks for the Bengals.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?.
The show concerns teenager Zack Morris (Mark Paul Gosselaar) and his eclectic group of friends. Zack himself is a complicated fellow: he's a vain hound for the girls and a screw-up who sets attendance records for detention. But as the series progresses, he also demonstrates that he's a thoughtful kid, underneath it all, with insight and loyalty to others. Tiffani-Amber Thiessen plays Kelly Kapowski, a cheerleader and mall rat who gains seriousness of purpose and dignity over time, and who ends a rivalry between Zack and good-natured sexist jock A.C. Slater (Mario Lopez) by choosing the former--after he cleans up his act a bit. Jessie Murtle Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) may be the most interesting character: smart and given to alternative-lifestyle values, an unabashed feminist yet self-conscious about her height. (She towers over most boys interested in her). Samuel "Screech" Powers (Dustin Diamond) is the show's token nerd, but he defies the stereotype in many ways: In "Dancing to the Max," Kelly develops a crush on Screech after he tutors her in science, while in other episodes he wins a beauty contest and comes to the heroic aid of a chum more than once. What's nice about Saved by the Bell is the way these sundry friends all get to know and accept each other, creating unexpected bonds and encouraging honest support when the chips are down. Highlights include "The Election," in which Zack, typically, runs for class president against Jessie on a lark, then has to face real responsibility when he wins. In "The Prom," Kelly gives up her dream of attending the school prom after her dad loses his job; she's rewarded with Zack's own sacrifice to make sure she's not alone. --Tom Keogh

Sunburn Treatment, Prevention and Dangers
If you got a nasty sunburn recently, here are some treatment options, as well as tips to prevent future burns and a warning about the dangers of catching too many rays.
Sunburn treatment
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends these five steps to treat a sunburn:
1. Don't wait to treat. A sunburn can take some time to develop, so you should get out of the sun and follow steps 2-5 as soon as possible if you feel a sunburn coming on.
2. Moisturize and repeat. Use a cream or lotion to soothe your burn, and to help prevent peeling. You've probably heard that aloe vera is a good treatment for sunburn, and although initial research has shown only that aloe may help heal burns, at the very least, it will soothe the burn's heat and pain.
3. Drink lots of water. One side effect of a sunburn is that the fluid in your body is drawn to the surface, to your skin. To make sure you don't get dehydrated, drink plenty of water.
4. Take an anti-inflammatory. Ibuprofen can help to reduce swelling and redness if taken as soon as you feel the burn coming on.
5. Seek medical help if necessary. If you're experiencing bad blistering, fever or chills, seek the help of a medical professional.
Sunburn prevention
The best way to avoid a sunburn is to stay out of the sun — but this isn't realistic in many cases. If you're in the sun, be sure to cover any exposed skin with the correct sunscreen to protect yourself from a burn.
SPF basics
While slathering on your white cream is good, it's also helpful to understand what sunscreen does, and what SPF means. The ingredients in sunscreen help to block ultraviolet rays — UVA and UVB rays in particular. Different sunscreens vary in terms of how well they protect against UVA and UVB rays.
SPF, which is Sun Protection Factor, measures a sunscreen's effectiveness in filtering out UVB rays. SPF is a guide to help you determine how long you can be in the sun without burning if you are wearing sunscreen as opposed to if you weren't wearing sunscreen. For example, if it takes 15 minutes for you to burn without sunscreen, a SPF 30 sunscreen will theoretically protect you for 7.5 hours (15 minutes x SPF 30).
You can also think about SPF as a measure of the percent of UVB rays filtered out by the sunscreen. About 93% of rays are filtered out by SPF 15, while 97% of UVB is filtered by SPF 30 and 98% with SPF 50. Current recommendations say that SPF above 30 isn't necessary. Keep in mind, however, that SPF doesn't account for the ability to filter out UVA rays, which are also responsible for skin cancer. Be sure to buy a broad-spectrum sunscreen, since this protects against UVA and UVB rays.
Protect yourself
While there's no way to fully protect yourself from the sun and its effects, you can still take these precautions:
- Apply sunscreen 30 minutes to 2 hours before sun exposure. Then, reapply every two hours, or if you are in the water or sweating heavily, reapply every 80 minutes.
- Wear sunglasses.
- Throw on a shirt or cover-up.
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat.
- Seek shade instead of direct sunlight during the peak hours, generally from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., of UV radiation.
Sunburn dangers
According the Environmental Protection Agency, more cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. than breast, prostate, lung and colon cancer combined, and 1 in 5 Americans will develop the disease in their lifetime. Of particular concern, children or adolescents with just one blistering sunburn have more than double the chance of developing melanoma. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, a person with just five sunburns has twice the risk of developing melanoma.
There is a direct correlation between non-melanoma skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma) and sun exposure over the years. Melanoma, on the other hand, is believed to be the result of intense exposure, such as one blistering burn. Since melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer — the National Cancer Institute estimated 9,710 deaths from melanoma in 2014 — avoiding sunburns is key to your health and safety.

Signing Day
630 AM- Wakeup. Get my Oklahoma State gear on for the big day. Because Georgia is one hour ahead of Oklahoma, I wanted to be the very first recruit to get my NLI signed and faxed to the OSU football offices so it would be waiting for the coaches when they arrived in that morning.
644 AM- Receive a call from an Athens, GA area code and figured it was most likely one of the UGA coaches calling to make one last attempt at convincing me to commit to their team as a Grey shirt. I decided not to answer and let them leave a message on my cell and I would call them back after I signed at 7. I saw that I had a voicemail and listened to it. Come to find out, it was Head Coach Mark Richt himself calling to inform me that he was offering me a full-scholarship to play and I would be able to report in the summer. I was stunned, but I still decided to wait and call him back after my signing so there would be no chance of me wavering.
655 AM- I prepared the official papers for signing and had the fax machine ready to send as soon as the clock struck 7 AM.
700 AM- National Signing Day officially begins on the east coast. I sat down at the kitchen table with my parents watching and signed the dotted line. My dad then signed the papers in the appropriate spot and my mom was in the background taking pictures. Both of them were wearing all their Black and Orange.
701 AM- Fax was sent from our home to the OSU football offices and I called Coach Gundy to confirm he had received it but he was not in yet so I waited.
705 AM- We all left for a before-school breakfast at my favorite breakfast spot, Waffle House. On the way, I returned Coach Richt's phone call while my parents listened in from the front seat. He was a very classy man and even though he offered me extremely late, he was extremely courteous and classy during our talk. He realized my opportunity at Oklahoma State and wished me luck, even though he knew he would be facing my team on September 5th for the opening game of the college football season.
720 AM- EAT! I had a very hearty breakfast. A Waffle, eggs, bacon, hash browns, and grits. Sweet tea in the glass.
733 AM- My recruiting area coach, Coach Glenn Spencer called to let me know he had just arrived in the office and my NLI was the first to be received, but by a small margin. Another Georgia boy, Ryan Robinson of Mill Creek, had sent his fax merely 30 seconds after me. He was just as excited as I was to finally be a Cowboy.
740 AM-While the parents were taking care of the check, I went outside and called Coach Gundy again. He was very happy to hear I was the first to have my fax in. I knew he had a very big day ahead of him as well.
805 AM- I felt like sending texts out to some of the guys over in Oklahoma and Texas to see if they had signed yet. I sent a message to Clint Chelf, Jeremy Smith, and Andrew Hudson asking, "You a Cowboy yet?"
820 AM-School. Boooo.
1130 AM- Left School. (Early Release Day)
1205 PM- I had a radio interview with Robert Allen on his Oklahoma radio station. It was the first chance any of the fans in Oklahoma had a chance to hear me speak about football and my commitment to OSU. I was on my cell in my room while my parents listened in on the computer downstairs.
1245 PM- Eat again, a bit more fancy this time. We went to Stoney River, a very nice steakhouse. My grandfather, who had just flown in from Seattle, WA joined us. I had a big juicy filet with mashed potatoes and a big ol' Caesar salad. HUGE chocolate cake for dessert.
200 PM- Stopped at Fedex to ship the actual signing papers to OSU.
330 PM- Got dressed for a picture in the newspaper for signing day and the official signing day ceremonies that were taking place at my school that night. I got a brand new suit for signing day. Very dapper.
415 PM- Arrived at the newspaper office to take the picture with all the other D-1 signees in the county. It took FOREVER. I first did an interview for the article that would be posted and then we took the picture as a group. We then had individual video interviews with the sports editor of the paper that were going to be put online.
645 PM- Arrive at Walton for signing ceremony.
700 PM- Ceremony begins with lots of friends and family in attendance.
845 PM- Headed over to the local sports bar to celebrate one more time with family and close friends. It was packed that night and when I sat down they announced my signing and congratulated me in front of everyone there, which was a big surprise.
1030 PM- Home…shower…bed…pass out. Day over.

LCP committee member calls process tainted
Editor's note: Corrections have been made to this story since the original was posted.
Payments to two consultants who worked on the Solana Beach Local Coastal Plan have tainted the process, says Jim Jaffee, a member of the volunteer citizens committee working to find a compromise.
But one person he suggested contributed to the situation fired back, saying Jaffee himself had violated the "good faith" of the group working to establish guidelines development in the coastal zone and to give direction on bluff erosion and sea wall.
At their Oct. 9 meeting, Jaffee told City Council members the plan they approved in September is "a result of property owners secretly injecting $15,000 to $20,000″ in payment to attorney Jon Corn and economist Dr. Stephen Conroy.
"The Coastal Commission thought it was a volunteer process, all our side thought it was a volunteer process, and I believe all of you did," Jaffee told the council.
Jaffee said committee member David Winkler brought Conroy in under the guise that he was an unpaid acquaintance from his alma mater, the University of San Diego.
Conroy is an economics professor who initially volunteered to help the committee. He was later paid by the Beach Bluff Conservancy to attend a workshop and report on city beach surveys, which was fully disclosed in all material submitted to the city.
But unbeknownst to Jaffee and then-committee member Dwight Worden, Conroy was not only being paid for his input, he also was a consultant representing Las Brisas, one of Solana Beach's bluff-side condominium associations with a vested interest in the outcome of the coastal plan.
Jaffee wrote in a letter to the council that "Mr. Winkler clearly knew that Dr. Conroy was the consultant … opposing the mitigation fees imposed by the Coastal Commission while our side was not aware of Dr. Conroy's conflict."
Corn, who started as a volunteer consultant to the committee, said he put in over 500 hours of volunteer time before losing his job early this year. Without regular income, he said, he could not continue to volunteer and was only then offered compensation to continue.
"I was always there to represent the interests of the blufftop homeowners … I was never a neutral party," he said.
He told the council, "We strongly believe the process we went through over the course of five years was a solid process with a lot of integrity."
He also said, "The agreement got more attractive from an anti-seawall prospective and less attractive from a homeowners prospective because most all of the Coastal Commission comments were in favor of the people who have a view against seawalls."
He also noted that they were all approved by Jaffee while they were working on the document in March.
Winkler in an e-mail to the Sun, "The fact that the group Jon represented paid him for a small portion of his total time at the end of the process did not create a conflict or affect the outcome of the joint process."
He also wrote: "The incorporation into the document (draft LUP) of the Coastal Commission's suggested changes, being far more in line with the Jim (Jaffee)'s views than with the bluff top homeowners, resulted in a final document that was more beneficial to seawall opponents, and less beneficial to blufftop homeowners.
He was never asked to comment on Conroy's role.
Jaffee was one of the authors of a compromise plan accepted by the council in September.
No other environmentalists or blufftop homeowners other than Jaffee raised questions about potential conflicts of interest at the September city hearing. Seawall opponents did raise question regarding the process the city followed.
Some claimed that the payments and an under-representation in a homeowner-driven citizen's committee caused them to pull out of the process.
Winkler went on to suggest that Jaffee also was not free from some influence in his decisions while on the committee.
"Not only did Jim lambaste the agreement he co-authored and approved, but he also admitted to us in 2009 that he personally funded the costs for the Surfrider litigation against the city. He funded these efforts while he served on the committee and while we were negotiating the compromise. His decision not to disclose to us that he was enabling the very type of litigation that the compromise was intended to end is a significant breach of good faith."
Jim made it clear he would like to go on record saying he did not personally finance the litigation, but that he did support it as a board member of Cal-Beach.

Chris Brown's scary curbside art irks LA neighbors
Grammy-winning musician Chris Brown's neighbors are unhappy with what some are calling frightening art he's chosen to have painted along the curb of his Hollywood Hills home.
The Associated Press
Grammy-winning musician Chris Brown's neighbors are unhappy with what some are calling frightening art he's chosen to have painted along the curb of his Hollywood Hills home.
A neighborhood group said the grimacing, sharp-toothed, red-eyed goblins painted along a retaining wall have been scaring children, and is an eyesore to boot, according to the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/19cjOBY).
"There are lots of babies, lots of children, and they're literally frightened. It's like devils on the wall - big scary eyes and big scary teeth, and just the whole vibe is not what we're used to," Patti Negri, president of the Hollywood Dell Civic Association, told the newspaper.
L.A. city code officials responded to complaints about the monster art and cited the "Run It!" singer $376 for unpermitted and excessive signage.
Under city ordinances, it's illegal to create murals on most private properties. Though that didn't stop Madonna from painting her Hollywood Hills home in red and yellow stripes in the 1990s.
Brown has been ordered to remove the goblin paintings within 30 days, but his attorney Mark Geragos said the musician is not backing down.
"They are trying to suspend the First Amendment," Geragos said.
Geragos alleges neighbors are harassing Brown and have also made parking complaints about him and called animal control.
In a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Saturday, Negri said all she wants is for Brown to "tone it down and be a better neighbor."
Brown's tumultuous relationship with singer Rihanna and foul-mouthed Twitter presence have given him a bad boy reputation.
Brown won a Grammy in 2011 for Best R&B Album with "F.A.M.E." and was arrested shortly after the 2009 awards ceremony for assaulting Rihanna.
"I know a $300 fine is probably pocket change. But hopefully and maybe, he'll just see the light and decide to be a good neighbor," Negri told the Times. "We're happy to have him - if he just tones it down."

I liked the location and room that was ground level.
I did not like not having fitted sheets on bed, had to make it before I even got in....not impressed. One lamp near ac didn't even have a lightbulb in it, the other light had to crawl under table to plug in.There was garbage laying in parking lot by bins kind of discouraging. Had to put empty Kleenex box on vanity to get some more. Inside of chrome cover was disgusting. Toilet was acting a little funky. Have stayed there about 3 times, this hotel is going down hill as far as I'm concerned.

The only thing was when guest where coming from the pool aera the fools and the elevators fools would be wet. That could lead to some one getting hurt.Over all my husband and I really liked our stay.
Free parking and free internet. Hotel was clean.
The room had an awful odor, like it had been sprayed to cover up the smell of smoke or pets. We had to open the windows and turn on the fan in the room to try and remove some of the odor. The truck yard next door woke us up very early in the morning.We had a difficult time finding the hotel, but was able to finally locate it. The front receptionist was cordial, but not friendly. Our room was very nice, but it had a terrible odor. The carpets in the halls looked old and worn. We were given a room that faced a trucking company which began operations very early in the morning and weren't allowed the luxury of sleeping in. I guess I just expected more from a Marriott property.

It's more likely that Illinois River Winery founder and winemaker Gregg Kane is out in the field or tinkering in the wine lab than in the chair behind his desk. Thanks to his hard work, the winery's tasting room offers a selection of more than 30 varietals daily, from crisp, dry wines with vibrant acidity to wet wines known for their unique ability to quickly soak into a shirt. During warmer months, grab a glass and head out to the patio, where live music sweetly serenades sippers every Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
The Winery at Shale Lake sprawls over 212 acres of verdant terrain, with a 10-acre vineyard producing a menu of eight original wines for enjoyment in an array of charming settings. Spin around the 24-acre lake during a 30-minute bike ride aboard any of the Surrey cycles available for rent, or hike the scenic trail to slowly experience nature and the soothing melodies of Bigfoot quartets. Sip on up to five complimentary varieties of wine in the tasting room, built into the barn for a fine equine view through the picture window, and chow on gastronome goodies, including baked brie with raspberry sauce ($6), or white garlic and sausage pizza ($9). Kick back in the winter loft during colder months, playing pool and swirling sippers such as the Fifth Dimension, a sweet red foch wine, and the Beginners Luck, a semisweet chambourcin (all $4.50 by the glass). Live performers burst into song roughly twice a month, so thirst quenchers can enjoy sweet sounds while tickling their taste buds and their friends' bellies on Saturday evenings.
The sun and the stars serve as constant companions at Hillcrest Event Center, where a 9-hole golf course, a swimming pool, and camping grounds entertain visitors day and night. A breezy par 30, the executive course caters to all experience levels, inviting beginners to take on its short holes while letting seasoned golfers hone their approach shots. After navigating the water hazards, guests can purposely head to the Olympic-sized swimming pool, which ripples at the center of a 3,000-square-foot sundeck where waiters serve poolside food and drinks. Or, dine at The BBQ Pit, home of the Illinois BBQ Fest.
As the sun sets, the crackling glow of fires peppers the campgrounds, illuminating the nylon sides of tents or canvas hulls of mobile RVs. Tent sites include access to the resort's hot showers and restrooms, while the RV facilities' hookups pump water and electricity into mobile homes so residents can bathe in private and use electric carving knives for whittling. When the sun rises, residents can begin their day with a hike on the resort's nature trails.
Mike Mott and Cole Chaplin share more than just alliterative names; their mutual passion for promoting Iowa's tourism industry led them to found IA Segway together, and they continue to introduce visitors to the cultural richness of the Quad Cities with informative Segway tours. Mike and Cole command a fleet of Segway i2s—the company's most current model—and teach tour groups how to safely operate the self-balancing steeds before blazing trails to spots of local and historic significance. Tours swing around scenic destinations such as the Figge Art Museum, McClellan Heights, and Credit Island, whose battlefield is strewn with denied credit cards that date back to the War of 1812.

Adobe CS3 compatibility fears for Leopard
17th Sep 2007 | 23:00
Photoshop et al not fully tested on new Apple software
Early adopters of Apple's forthcoming Mac OSX update, 'Leopard', could find that they experience compatibility problems with the latest version of the Adobe Creative Suite.
Latest versions of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign among others have not yet been fully tested with Leopard, leading to fears that they might not work properly.
Not yet optimised
"CS3 hasn't fully been tested under Leopard," Bruce Chizen, Adobe's CEO told Reuters in a recent interview. "If it doesn't work, we will make the necessary adjustments."
Adobe Creative Suite software is very popular among Apple Mac users and so it'll be vital to fix any compatibility issues as early as possible.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My school is the best school out there. It may be little and may not be as advanced as other school but I am so glad to be apart of Marie Curie H.S. The teachers push us to do our best and are always challenging us and maybe due to the fact that it is a small school it feels like a family. My class mates are always there for me and even people I don't know are always willing to help. My school just needs more funds to be able to supply all the students with laptops and have more technology. But otherwise than that I think this school really motivates students to go above and beyond and to never give up and always try there best.
I wish there was more parent involvment. The opportunities are there but the parents are not taking advantage. I know I do. We the parents need to be there for our children even though they are in high school and are condsidered as young adults.
I love marie curie high school because the teachers give the students lots of hope for a successful life in their future,
The teachers are very involved, and they aid the parents in helping students to achieve their goals.
no violence, excellent stepping stone for future leaders both in the medical field and socially

With the Detroit Lions preparing for their rookie minicamp this weekend, it is no surprise we now start hearing word of members of their 2013 draft class agreeing to terms.
Under the terms of the current collective bargaining agreement, drafted rookies sign four-year contracts. Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun/FOX Sports was the first to report four signings on twitter this afternoon.
Corey Fuller (Woodlawn) signed a $2.283 million four-year deal with Lions that included a $123,100 bonus.

Theo Riddick signed a $2. 25 million deal with Lions that includes a $91,000 bonus

Lions signed Brandon Hepburn to $2.205 million deal that includes $45,896 bonus, same terms for Colts and Justin Cunningham

Lions deal for Michael Williams is $2.22 million and includes a $65,148 bonus

The collective bargaining agreement's slotting system makes rookie contracts pretty standard across the board so that even the top draft picks have little reason to hold out like they may have in the past. With millions of dollars no longer up for negotiation it makes sense to agree early to get that bonus money in hand (and then hopefully in the bank).
