Which .conf file(s) is Apache using?
I spent the majority of this week debugging some Apache ModRewrite rules. (Yes, today is Wednesday.) It shouldn't have taken so long. The rules themselves weren't complex, but the server environment is.
Our production web site consists of a load balancer, Memcached server, two synchronized app servers, and two synchronized static file servers. There are obsolete, broken, and duplicate Apache config files distributed in various directories across the app and static servers. Many of the config files recursively included directories full of other config files. By trial-and-error, I sifted through them all, adding debug statements and restarting httpd, over and over and over. Nothing worked; Apache ignored every file I touched.
As usual, it turns out there's an easier way to discover exactly which .conf files Apache is using.
First, get some data about your running Apache process:
$ ps ax | grep httpd
21765 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -f /var/www/conf/example.com.conf -E /var/www/logs/example.com-20140514-startup.log
This is valuable information, because now that we know the exact binary and config file Apache is running with, we can use the -S option to show VirtualHost settings:
$ /usr/sbin/httpd -f /var/www/conf/example.com.conf -S
VirtualHost configuration:
*:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server www.example.com (/var/www/conf/virtual/example.com/www.example.com.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost www.example.com (/var/www/conf/virtual/example.com/www.example.com.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost www2.example.com (/var/www/conf/virtual/example.com/www2.example.com.conf:1)
From the output above, we see that
www.example.com's VirtualHost is defined in
That's all there is to it — no guesswork necessary.
WordPress multisite proxy configuration
I've been using WordPress multisite for a few projects at work lately, and it's been great — mostly. Unfortunately, because of its reliance on ModRewrite, anything beyond the most basic configuration can be complicated.
In this case, I needed to install a multisite network in a subfolder, served from behind a load-balancing proxy. WordPress multisite is very particular about hostnames, so it detects that the proxy server hostnames (
proxy1.mysite.com and
proxy2.mysite.com) don't match the site hostname (
www.mysite.com), and degrades to an infinite redirect loop.
The solution below comes after days of research, testing, and tearing out my hair. Of course, all environments are different, so your mileage will probably vary.
The solution (well, maybe)
After enabling your multisite network, WordPress provides the following code snippets (which we'll modify in just a moment):
# wp-config.php
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.mysite.com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/subfolder/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
# .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subfolder/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
Now let's make some additions. New lines are bold:
# wp-config.php
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
$base = '/subfolder/';
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.mysite.com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/subfolder/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
if ( isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST'] ) ) {
# .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subfolder/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Host} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Host} !^www. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.mysite.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
And that's it. This combination of rules delicately nudges your URLs into a format that WordPress and Apache won't choke on.
Melissa Godowski, a rock climber whose blog I've enjoyed following for years, just posted her Top 31 Things I Have Learned in 365 Days. It's a great list, and applies equally to climbing and life. I have a few favorites, which seem especially applicable to my life at the moment:
- Slow and steady wins the race. Go at your own pace, not someone else's.
- The present will dictate the future. Be in the moment and make smart decisions.
- There is no such thing as normal. Even if there was, individuality is too special to give up.
- It is important to have variety. Have a variety in activities and interests just like you would have a variety of vegetable colors.
- Get to know yourself. Learn your patters, likes, and dislikes. Become aware of your emotions. Work together with you body. Having this knowledge about yourself will help you reach your goals faster.
Relationships are everything. Getting what we want, having things our way, having control, being right … these things matter nothing compared to relationships. Imagine being in your death bed at the age of 80 … will your sense of being right and in control comfort you when you have no good relationships, no one who has loved you?
I think as experienced game developers / engineers / artists / makers, we don't realize how we've developed strong senses of "vision" — the ability to visualize and maintain this thing in our head, and gradually work to realize that thing into existence despite countless obstacles. Frequent failure is expected! But this kind of emotional intelligence, to be patient with yourself and your work, takes time to cultivate. People have trouble grasping this if they are new to making things, and maybe it's our mission to help them own their constant failures.
Talk to someone who rejects the conclusions of climate science and you'll likely hear some variation of the following: "That's all based on models, and you can make a model say anything you want." Often, they'll suggest the models don't even have a solid foundation of data to work with—garbage in, garbage out, as the old programming adage goes. But how many of us (anywhere on the opinion spectrum) really know enough about what goes into a climate model to judge what comes out?
One of the major problems with political discourse in America is that everyone thinks they have the answer, but very few have the knowledge to back up their answer.
Theme Details
Like many designers and developers these days, I set up a lot of blogs and web sites, often without enough time or budget to design a custom theme. In these cases, installing a free or cheap off-the-shelf theme is usually the best option.
And there are hundreds of beautiful themes available. Browsing Themeforest seems, at first, like an embarrassment of riches. But each time I mine the theme directories, flagging my favorites, I notice a problem: the details are off.
Out of every 10 themes with impressive and beautiful splash pages, it seems that 9 have fatal flaws which disqualify them from my search (often discovered only after purchasing and installing). Most are minor issues: a misaligned search box, a sidebar that deviates from the baseline grid, a lazily-chosen secondary typeface, unstyled page number indicators, and so on. But such minor issues often break the design's gestalt, and prevent so many good themes from being truly excellent.
Of course, it's likely that my graphic design background has hyper-sensitized me to some of these flaws, but design principles exist whether we consciously acknowledge them or not. A designer may recognize that your theme's H2 tags have awkward margins; a non-designer will simply move on to a theme that feels "right".
On Contributing
The other day, my good friend Brad asked a question on Stack Overflow regarding LESS and Bootstrap 3. Sensing an opportunity for some easy reputation points, I hopped on and posted a quick solution.
Except, it didn't work. Neither did my next solution, or the next, or the next. I'm familiar enough with Bootstrap, and with LESS, to know my solutions should have worked. But they didn't. So I dug in, forked the repo, and built a test case.
It turned out that Bootstrap didn't support the functionality that Brad was trying to use. The docs weren't even totally clear on whether it should. So after explaining the problem, and workaround, on Stack Overflow, I thought: why not submit the "fix" back as a pull request? So I did, and to my surprise, it was accepted and rolled into Bootstrap 3 RC2.
For you veteran Githubbers, my experience is nothing special. In fact, I've submitted plenty of pull requests myself. But this was my first to a major open-source project, so it still feels shiny and cool to me.
More importantly, though, it's a valuable reminder: just because a project is large and popular, it not necessarily free of issues. Don't assume that other developers are smarter than you, or that you have nothing valuable to contribute. You probably do! But you'll never know unless you get your hands dirty.

Bunaken Divers Sea Breeze ResortLatest Booking: yesterday
Location , 24h electricity and the WiFi connection.
I was paying a bungalow price for a fan room ( and you, booking.com, assured me that I was getting the best price. In reality, it was high season rate charged in low season - we were just two in whole resort. Food not so good and not even toiletries-when I asked for soap I was suggested to buy one at reception; same with the transfer- after they brought me from harbor to accommodation, they asked me to pay for that. Bottom line: they're only after your money. Eventually checked out after 8 days and went to other resort where stayed at half the price with excellent food being offered every day.
The staff made us feel at home here. They really took good care if us. BBR is comfortable where it counts. The bed is nice, a/c is an option, the food is good (but doesn't vary much). Cold saltwater showers are the norm on Bunaken. Elli, our dive guide was great. Very knowledgeable. I would definitely stay there again.
The owner should introduce himself to guests. You'll notice him sitting on the deck with his computer. Otherwise, no complaints.
Staff, food, snorkelling from beach
the food
the food was good
SALTY and COLD shower and yes you don't have other option.
lunch~dinner~breakfast : ) garden and the beach~ everything is perfect! especially the staff~so nice and helpful!thank you
No white beach, worst resort, dirty, smelly, the dogs always bark on us and the receptionist staff was so rude... May be thats why this resort has available rooms while others fully booked.
staff very friendly,
too much waste on the beach
Great snorkelling in front of the hotel.Very nice atmosphere,with the other guests only!
No bar,no music,nothing. Meal times (apart from breakfast) too early: lunch at 12 (don't have the time to go snorkelling and get ready) and dinner at 6.30 ,as there is nothing to do after in the evening.
- Good location - quet, but you can still go the village or to the other side of the island - realy very beautiful coral reef in front of the resort (one of the most beautiful we have ever seen!), clean water (without garbage), very nice staff (especially Zarah - thank you very much!), good food. All in all, we have spent a very nice week at Bunaken Beach Resort, and we would definitely stay there again, if we ever decide to visit Sulawesi once more time.
It is just my personal opinion and not real critics (though the guests we've talked to, while we were staying at BBR, had a similar view), but I think it is weird that the owner "secretly" spends his all time sitting in front of his laptop on the terrace without greeting his guests or without even letting them know, who he is. Untill our 3rd day at BBR, I thought he was just an odd tourist, but then during the dinner he just walked by us and asked, if the food was good. I didn't know how to react, because I didn't know he was the owner. Anyway, it is just a recommendation and no "show stopper". You don't need to entertain guests, but just probably introduce yourself, so that they don't feel "watched" by you after they find out, you are the owner.
Lovely staff, food was good and it was very easy to organise a snorkeling trip
There was a lot of ants in the room and a couple of large spiders. The rooms and bathrooms were very basic but clean.
Very very quiet almost no traffic, no noise at all
I really don't like to shower in salt water, but no option really, there is almost no fresh water on the island.
Absolutely stunning coral,best food,staff and owners care that you are having the best stay.
Nothing.Love to go back.
The most positive surprise was the food. Understandably the meals usually came with fish. Although this is not really my favorite, it was always so excellently cooked that I started missing it after I left.
Excellent staff, hotel at beach front of clear clean seawaters, excellent food. Appreciation to Ms Erny and colleagues who made my stay, great and enjoyable.
No or weak wifi.
The location with a fantastic reef out front was perfect for a relaxing vacation. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. Just remember that it is a remote island and everyone does their best to make things work, and they did.
Internet connection was marginal when it did work, but it was not a critical factor on vacation.
Food was great and good location close to the beach. Staff were also very friendly
The bed in my room was damp and my friend's toilet did not flush. Her plumbing was broken and worms came out of the sink.
Very nice and helpful staff, nice dining room, very delicious food. Water is cold, but in this hot weather you don't need hot water. In front of the bungalows is big beautiful garden. Very nice snorkeling in front of the resort (but only if the sea is without plastic trash). Diving here is great. They have good dive instructor.
Rooms need to be renovated, specially bathrooms are in quite bed conditions. Otherwise is a very good place to relax.
- very nice and friendly staff (also the dive boat guys were great!) - very good food - fantastic location of the beach bungalows, incredible view - nice and open beach in front of the resort - fantastic snorkeling on the reef just in front of the resort - the island is small, silent and relaxing (see also con-list)
- horrible bathroom and toilet, it felt very dirty - generally, the room was very simple, and not that fresh - only cold water shower - rooms were not cleaned everyday, and sheets/towels not changed often enough - the island is very small and silent, there is nothing, not even a kiosk or postcard stand. Can be frustrating after a few days..
Friendly staff, great food, loved the tab system for buying drinks, lovely lady who met our boat,
No hot showers, shabby bathroom,
- perfect location, tropical garden or beach bungalow - cleanliness, no insect in room - very friendly staff - very close to wonderful dive sites - good local food - calm and quiet location
- owner absolutely not friendly, but lady good businesswoman - transfer overpriced - extra fee for aircon in room overpriced (17,5 E/day...)
Excellent staff! Every our ask was immediately carried out. Good fresh local food, different for every day. Everything is very clean. Excellent location for snorkelling and relaxation. Very good divemaster and crew on the board during diving.

About me and my passion for cars
I loved watching Nascar when I was a kid. I used to listen to my dad talk about how he used to street race his Corvettes. That's what got me started on cars. I couldn't wait to get a fast car of my own so I could have some fun. When I got the 6-speed 2002 Z28 Camaro, I started drag racing at a local track and I was hooked! That was the greatest feeling on earth!
I fell in love with Trans Am after watching Smokey and The Bandit. I told myself I would own one one day and now I do. I look forward to working on it and getting it restored.

I started with this pic because this is one of my favorite spots on this particular trail. The picture doesn't even BEGIN to do this area justice.
Anyway, we knew before we headed out that it was going to be A.) Cold and B.) Snowing
It wasn't too much of either at the base but that changed pretty quickly the higher we climbed. the snow was pretty light as we crossed the Cascade Link trail so we decided to climb our favorite (and most difficult) trail - Spellman Trail. There are several spots on this trail where the ability to climb is a bonus and on a day in December where so much ice is on the mountain and the snow was beginning to fall, it was that much more challenging. There were unquestionably areas where our skills were put to the test as we navigated some tricky climbs and did our best to avoid the ice that cascaded in sheets in some areas over the rocks.
Here's a nice pic of the terrain:
The REAL fun began once we got above tree line. Fortunately, we had our YakTrax with us and were able to maintain steady footing on the snowy rocks. By now, the wind was whipping and the snow/ice was pelting us pretty good and with just over half a mile to the summit, there was NO WAY we wee backing down:
Buffeted by blizzard stength winds, all bundled up as best we could be, we forged ahead to the summit. The first photo is my wife, Storme. The second is me. The pictures don't tell the whole story but we were fighting ice and wind to stand up for these pictures, but we made it:
Of course, that is only half the story. We still needed to DESCEND. Alot of times, the descent can be more difficult than the descent but we chose a different trail going down - the Red Dot trail, which is still steep - especially coming down from the summit till about halfway down the mountain. Regardless of that fact, there was less ice and no sections we had to climb down. So just a matter of watching our step and being careful. As this photo quite clearly shows, we had our hands (and feet) full.....
Finally, we reached somewhat more level terrain but we had one more concern. It IS winter and it gets dark early - especially in the mountains on a snowy day. We really had to push hard while still watching our step to ensure that we got out of the woods before dark came on in all it's glory. We made it by probably 15 minutes or so as you can tell from this photo:
That photo shows about the last tenth of a mile before exiting the trailhead. It was almost full on dark at this point (we DO carry flashlights just in case). The full hike took about six hours. We were both exhausted but completely exhilarated that we had completed possibly our most difficult hikes and definitely our coldest.
Whether you want to race a short race or a longer race, the results of your endeavour will all come down to your training and race preparation. How you train and how much you train will differ depending on the distance. A 5k requires a different type of training than a half marathon as does a 10k or a full marathon. Whether your goal is simply to finish, or to hit a specific time goal, you have to train properly. For the 5k, it's pretty simple - if you just want to finish, run several times a week for 3 or 4 miles and you should be fine. If you want to set a time goal then you will want to add intervals.
What got me to writing this particular blog entry, however, has nothing to do with 5k's or 10k's. It has to do specifically with half marathons, which alot of runners aspire to but seem ill prepared for. I have raced many half marathons and completed 3 this year alone, setting a PR in each of those races. The REASON I am writing this is because some runners seem to believe that the HM is simply an extension of the shorter races and that they can continue with lower mileage and have a successful race. It isn't important what your goal for the HM is, but that perception will leave you with a bad race and possibly injured.
If you want to run your first HM and your goal is simply to "finish the race", that is fine, but some runners believe they can run 10 miles per week and then show up on race day and be good. They can't. They may finish the race, but then again the odds are that they will be far slower than they anticipated and will be on the course much longer than anticipated or they simply won't finish at all.
AT A MINIMUM, training for a HM should include a base mileage of 25 miles per week with a long run that equals the distance of the race - and that is absolutely bare bones training - no speed work, no tempos, just mileage. And that is if your goal is simply to say you finished. But shouldn't the runner want to finish feeling strong - with a feeling that not only did he or she accomplish the goal of racing the HM but also that they actually defeated the race. After all, racing is all about racing against ourselves and our own expectations. If I go into a race (as I did in September) with the goal of finishing with a 6:45 pace and I then finish with a 6:56 pace, then I'll be disappointed, despite the fact that I set a PR - I didn't reach my goal. In that case, it was a matter of not eating properly before the race (I believe). I'll find out in February.
If you want to race the HM and want to feel GREAT at the end, then you need to do more than the bare minimum. Base mileage should be in the mid 30's or higher - more is better but only to a point, depending on how good a shape you are in. I took the period between training for two HM's to increase my base mileage which is now around 50 miles per week. I WILL hit the 6:45 mark in my next race and part of my strategy for doing so involves higher mileage.
If you want to set a specific time goal for your HM then you are looking at an entirely different type of training. Besides increasing your base, you will also need to work in tempo runs and intervals or fartleks to work on your fast twitch fibers. You will want to EXCEED race distance by at least a couple of miles on each of your long runs and because of the additional strain on your body from added miles, as well as more difficult workouts, you will want to work in a "light" week, where you run fewer miles and don't do tempos/intervals so that the muscles can heal while you do easy runs at whatever pace your legs feel comfortable at. There are many good plans out there for the HM but they all require solid base mileage - the most important key next to proper nutrition for a successful race - no matter what the distance. I'll keep up the high mileage, the long tempos and the intervals for 10k's and 5k's as well but I'll structure them differently for the distance I am racing.
So, this is why I wrote this blog post. I want YOU to have a successful HM and I want to stress that the best chance you have for that to happen is by having solid base mileage that is high enough for the race you are intending to race. Please don't go into a half marathon with a 10 or 12 mile per week base and the intention of simply finishing, expecting that you will feel good coming out the other end. You may well be able to, but the odds are against you.
Good luck and keep running!
The other day I was reading an article that stated that every year 80% of runners suffer an injury.
I think this is an extraordinary claim. I know a lot of runners and injuries happen but I think the article I read failed to take several things into account. First and foremost - running attracts a lot of new participants who are prone to injury because they don't know what they're doing. Second, alot of people run on trails, which is also inherently dangerous and can lead to sprained ankles, knees, etc...
So I got to thinking about all of this and I have some thoughts on the subject. Novice runners, especially may want to take note of what I want to say but (of course) you have no obligation to listen to what I have to say. But, as a runner who has logged countless thousands of miles (going to have 2000+ this year alone) and finishes in the top tier in my age division regularly, I feel like I have some experience that might be worth passing along. I mean, after all, I've had my fair share of injuries over the years and I've learned alot.
So, with that in mind. If you are just starting out, or haven't been at this for too long - GO EASY.
Sure, you may want to race in the future (most of us do I think) or you may simply be a recreational runner, but injuries will set you back and may even discourage you from running and it doesn't need to be that way. My first run 5 1/2 years ago was a 2 mile jog down the street and back. Nothing amazing, but it was a beginning. I made the same mistake most new runners seem to make - I tried to do too much, too fast. And I got injured (on a regular basis I might add). I tried to add too many miles too soon. I tried to go faster than what my body was trained for or ready for.
PUSHING YOURSELF too hard and too fast is, I believe, the biggest cause of injuries in the sport. Even seasoned veterans fall into that trap sometimes, but it's less likely. It isn't your shoes. Any decent fitting running shoe that you feel comfortable in will do for the most part. Some people do, of course, have issues with over pronation and such (google it) or under pronation or some other thing that will require them to have specially fitted running shoes but that isn't true for most of us.
Another cause of injuries is people who go into a race completely unprepared for what they are doing. I've been to many races where people who were completely not trained tried to (for instance) run a half marathon. We had (have) a runner on these very forums who was set to run a half marathon but wasn't putting in the mileage. I tried as much as I could to encourage this person to increase their mileage. Their goal was to finish without a specific time in mind, which is fine, but they were only running about 4 - 8 miles per week. I tried to tell them they needed to work up to at least one long run every two weeks that exceeded that distance and that they should be putting in a MINIMUM of 25 - 30 miles per week. That person pretty much ignored my advice and I wasn't shocked when they reported back that they became injured during the race. Haven't seen them since either. That is a lesson I hope I can impart from their experience. Yes, it is bad for them, but hopefully we can all learn something from it.
Something else you can do to try and avoid injury is to alternate which side of the road you are running on. Roads have camber, for runoff, and that means if you are ALWAYS running against traffic, you are placing tremendous strain on the same muscles all of the time. You have to change sides, if only for the peace and mind of your joints, tendons and muscles. Take my word on this. Again, you can google it, however, if you think I'm missing something. If you have sidewallks, use them (they are flat) or, if you have roads where you can do it, run in the middle.
The recommended increases in distance are around 10% per week. Don't be shy to do less and give your body an easy week every few weeks as you increase your mileage so it has time to heal and get ready for more miles.
Learning how to recognize and differentiate muscle and tendon soreness from actual injury is NOTHING that anyone can teach you. It is simply learned. We will almost all get injured at some point or another. Not all of those injuries are running related - they could happen at work but effect our running. I tend to ignore tendon issues because with some heat and ice they generally resolve themselves without further intervention. Muscles are a different matter. A pulled muscle in a calf or thigh will sideline you. They are usually caused by running more miles than our bodies are ready for and though ice and heat will help, you will still miss a few days, at least.
Again, learning to listen to your body and knowing when to ignore the minor aches and pains that we all feel and recognizing a true injury is an art that cannot be taught. Only experience will be able to teach you when you can continue and when you should not.
Finally, let me leave you with this. Injuries happen in every sport. The key to prevention and minimization is knowing what you are doing and listening as best you can to your body. There is lots of advice out there. Sports doctors are great when you are having real issues but most injuries are simply a result of overuse and improper running technique. Do more research on how to build your mileage and how to protect your joints and tissues from injury on the roads and even when injuries occur, you will be better prepared to deal with them, recover from them and get back on the road where you belong. Don't let injuries stop you from running, even if they do occur. Quitting isn't an answer. Smart running is.
Years ago, while doing my usual overabundance of research - in this case, how to be a faster runner, I read something about every run should have a purpose. I didn't really "get it" if you know what I mean. I was new to the sport, just learning how to train and wanting to improve my racing times. But the whole concept simply eluded me.
It has taken me YEARS to "get it", if you will. My training improved because I received help from more experienced runners and my training runs had purpose, I simply wasn't realizing it at the time. Thankfully, the person training me did and I finally "got it" today, while I was doing my morning run. I figured since I had my ephiphany, I would share with those of you who are still trying to figure it out.
There are several types of "training runs" which will help to improve your performance and make you a better runner in general. They can be broken down into categories:
1. Long run
2. recovery run
3. tempo run
4. intervals or fartleks (essentially the same thing)
I consider these to be the core workouts of a successful training plan and will all have different distances and speeds based on the length of your upcoming race and the goals you have for that race. Each of these runs has a purpose and even if you understand the goal of each run, you may not understand the purpose - that was where I was stuck. So, I'll try to help.
1. The long run has a single purpose - to train you for endurance, period. It is not to "recover". It is not work on speed. It is to build endurance. Believe me when I tell you that as a novice or even intermediate runner, this is the only thing you are shooting to get out of this run. If your goal race is a 10k then you probably want to do a long run of 10 miles. Why? Because you will build your endurance beyond the point of what your race distance is, making that race that much easier. It is worth putting in the extra miles and will pay off big on race day.
2. Recovery runs have another purpose - to give you a moving recovery after a hard training run. A long run would be a hard training run that is pushing your limits. The next run should be a recovery run. Even if you take a day off after the long run (or the tempo or interval runs), you should do recovery runs. Recovery runs are done at an easy pace - conversational pace, if you will. These runs are absolutely essential in a training plan and should (as I've learned) always take place before you do another hard training run. That is it's sole "purpose" - to allow your body to recover while still putting in some miles.
3. Tempo runs have a different purpose than either of the first two. This run's purpose is to train your body to run at pace for a long period of time. These runs, by the end of training should be approaching your goal race pace and, in my opinion, should be fairly close in length to the distance you are going to be racing - to allow your body to get used to what it will experience on race day.
4. Intervals or fartleks have the purpose of training your fast twitch fiber muscles. They will also improve your cardio for race day by pushing your cardio system to it's max. Intervals can be used in an alternating method with hill repeats (intervals on a hill). Hill repeats will not only serve the purpose of building your cardio strength but also your power which definitely comes in handy on race day.
This goes back to the original point of what I read that day. EVERY run should have a purpose. It should do something to help you to perform at your best on race day. If you aren't planning on racing, then of course, none of this pertains to you.
If it is your first race and you simply want to finish with no specific time goals then you should focus on your long runs and building your base mileage - which will help you to finish your race in fine shape.
Currently, I am between training periods. I run 5 - 6 days a week at a comfortable pace with only one goal in mind - building my base mileage. I don't do fartleks or hill repeats or tempos or any of that. I am simply building my base so that when I begin training again, I have a higher mileage to start from so that I can increase my training intensity for the next race.
I hope this helped to make "purpose" understandable and also helped to explain the purpose of each of the runs in an understandable way. Or maybe I just spent the last 15 minutes typing this for no apparent reason other than I felt a need to do so.... :-)
One of the most important *things* I've gotten from running is confidence. I have done things I never would have thought possible. I've run marathons. I've run 6 minute miles at 50 years of age. I've pushed myself beyond limits that I didn't even know existed for me and I will beat this as well - *this* being the heat. Running has given me so much when it comes to my belief that I can overcome anything that I no longer feel there really ARE any limits. But I still have one more thing I need to beat to be a complete runner - the heat. The heat has been my worst enemy but really, the enemy is within.
Despite everything I've done and all that I've accomplished, I still wilt in the heat but I am bound and determined to beat that as well. Today was a perfect example. It was 85 degrees and super humid when I went for my run this morning. I only did 7 miles but halfway through I already wanted to slow down, take a break. So I didn't. What I did was push harder. I made myself ignore the temperatures and focus on the run, on my form, on my breathing. Anything but the heat. It worked, but it was only 7 miles. I need to make that happen at 10 miles and 15 miles and 20 miles and I am determined that I will. Summer is only just getting here and I know that there are many more hot and humid days to come and my training is only going to intensify over even what I did this past winter and spring and if I am going to succeed at that training, I will NEED to conquer the heat. There are no buts or ifs about it. I have to defeat the heat and I WILL defeat the heat. And how do I know this? Because running has taught me that with perseverance and will power, I can accomplish ANYTHING. It has helped me to stop drinking. It helped me to complete my degree program. It helped me to set multiple PR's in one racing season and to push through a grueling half marathon in high temps and humidity just a few days ago - but I was wilting and my pace slowed below what I thought I should have done and I am determined to not let the heat get the best of me again.
If you are a new runner, or not so new runner, you too will learn to overcome obstacles and limits you didn't even know existed but you will do it because that is what running will do for you if you take it seriously enough and work through those things that intimidate you and overcome them.

December 12, 2007
- After declaring a state of emergency this November, General Musharraf's first trip abroad was to Saudi Arabia. During the visit, Musharraf unsuccessfully attempted to dissuade the Saudi government from allowing exiled former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to leave Saudi Arabia and return to Pakistan.
- Saudi Arabia hosted Sharif for seven years until his return to Pakistan on November 25, 2007. Sharif was able to re-enter the Pakistan as part of a deal brokered between the Saudi government and General Musharraf. Sharif previously attempted to enter Pakistan in September, but was arrested and sent back to Saudi Arabia.
- Saudi Arabia has allegedly offered to host the former Supreme Court chief justice, who has been under house arrest since the 3rd of November. The Saudi ambassador to Pakistan, Ali Awadh Asseri, was the first foreign envoy to meet Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry since emergency rule began. The Saudi embassy claims the meeting was called to invite Chaudhary and his family to be guests of the Saudi government for the Hajj, yet there has been speculation that this invitation was an attempt at an exile arrangement.
- Counter-terrorism: Pakistan and Saudi Arabia share intelligence on terrorist groups and reaffirmed joint opposition to terrorism in September.
- Nuclear Technology: There have been persistent concerns about Saudi-Pakistan cooperation on nuclear technology. Saudi Arabia allegedly funded Pakistan's nuclear weapons program, though Saudi officials have denied it.
- Saudi Arabia's second deputy prime minister, defense and aviation minister and inspector general, Prince Sultan toured Pakistan's uranium-enrichment plant and missile-production facilities in Kahuta shortly after the country's nuclear tests; the site is top secret and even former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto said she was not allowed to visit it when she was in power.
- Saudi Arabia makes up 10.5% of the total value of Pakistani imports, making it Pakistan's second largest import partner.
- Pakistan exports $500 million worth of goods to Saudi Arabia per year and imports $2 billion of Saudi oil, providing the majority of Pakistan's oil imports.
- Roughly 1 million Pakistanis live in Saudi Arabia as foreign workers, providing a major source of remittances. Between July and August of 2007, Pakistani workers in Saudi Arabia sent home $202.4 million out of the $985.2 million of remittances transferred to Pakistan during that period.
- Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are both members of the Organization of Islamic Countries, which works to protect and advance the interests of Muslims in the world.
- Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are linked by their strong Muslim identities; Saudi Arabia is the custodian of the Holy Mosques at Mecca and Medina and Pakistan was founded as a Muslim country.
- Saudi Arabia funds Sunni Muslim clerics and Islamic schools, giving the Kingdom influence over Pakistan's Sunni Islamic movements.
- Over 600,000 Pakistanis visit Saudi Arabia for the performance of the Hajj and Umrah every year, comprising one of the largest groups of Hajj pilgrims.
- 2005 Earthquake: The Saudis were instrumental in providing aid in the wake of Pakistan's October 2005 earthquake. The government pledged $133 million in direct grant aid, $187 million in concessional loans, and $153 million in export credits for Pakistan earthquake relief, making Saudi Arabia the largest donor to the earthquake relief fund.
- Oil: From 1999 to at least mid-2000, Saudi Arabia sent 150,000 barrels of oil a day to Pakistan for free, as foreign aid. The Kingdom continues to sell oil to Pakistan at favorable rates.

Marc Shell...makes some important points, including that polio has not been 'conquered,' if only because millions of its victims are still alive, often suffering from post-polio syndrome.
— Andrew Jack
It was not long ago that scientists proclaimed victory over polio, the dread disease of the 1950s. More recently polio resurfaced, not conquered at all, spreading across the countries of Africa. As we once again face the specter of this disease, along with other killers like AIDS and SARS, this powerful book reminds us of the personal cost, the cultural implications, and the historical significance of one of modern humanity's deadliest biological enemies. In Polio and Its Aftermath Marc Shell, himself a victim of polio, offers an inspired analysis of the disease. Part memoir, part cultural criticism and history, part meditation on the meaning of disease, Shell's work combines the understanding of a medical researcher with the sensitivity of a literary critic. He deftly draws a detailed yet broad picture of the lived experience of a crippling disease as it makes it way into every facet of human existence.
Polio and Its Aftermath conveys the widespread panic that struck as the disease swept the world in the mid-fifties. It captures an atmosphere in which polio vied with the Cold War as the greatest cause of unrest in North America--and in which a strange and often debilitating uncertainty was one of the disease's salient but least treatable symptoms. Polio particularly afflicted the young, and Shell explores what this meant to families and communities. And he reveals why, in spite of the worldwide relief that greeted Jonas Salk's vaccine as a miracle of modern science, we have much more to fear from polio now than we know.

Las Vegas, NV (Sports Network) - Kevin Jones registered a double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds as the West Virginia Mountaineers slipped by the Missouri State Bears in overtime, 70-68, in third-round action of the Las Vegas Classic at Orleans Arena.
Also scoring in double figures for the Mountaineers (9-2) were Darryl Bryant with 15 points, Aaron Brown 14 and Gary Browne 13 points to go along with seven boards off the bench in the team's fifth straight win.
With the victory West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins, the fourth winningest active head coach, registered the 700th of his career.
The Bears (7-4) were paced by Caleb Patterson with 18 points as the squad had a three-game win streak come to an end. Kyle Weems contributed 15 points, shooting 6-of-15 from the floor, while Jarmar Gulley tacked on 11 points before picking up his fifth personal foul.
WVU led by as many as seven points midway through the first half, but with the Bears connecting on 52.0 percent from the floor and 6-of-13 behind the three- point line in the period, the Mountaineers had to settle for a 32-32 tie at the break.
In the second half Missouri State lit up the scoreboard with 65.0 percent accuracy from the floor, pushing out to a 10-point lead of its own with less than nine minutes remaining in regulation. However, West Virginia chipped away at the deficit and managed to tie the score at 63-63 in the waning moments on a three-pointer by Browne.
In the extra session both teams made just 2-of-7 shots from the floor, so it was WVU's 3-of-6 effort at the free-throw line that made the difference.
In a game that saw six ties and 12 lead changes, the Bears ended up with 15 turnovers, a mere 4-of-9 shooting at the charity stripe and only three offensive rebounds overall as WVU posted a 40-27 advantage on the glass.
For the final round of the tournament on Friday, the Mountaineers are already set to take on sixth-ranked Baylor, while the Bears clash with St. Mary's-CA.

Anyone who saw the man should call 911.

A spike in date-rape drug cases prompted Hope Haven of the Lowcountry counselors to warn women about keeping an eye on their drinks while out on the town.
The Beaufort-based rape crisis center said it has seen up to 10 cases over the past couple of months involving victims who said they were drugged and then sexually assaulted, said Shauw Chin Capps, executive director of Hope Haven.
"The cases have been mixed; both north and south of the Broad" river, Capps said.
All the victims told counselors they were at a bar or night club and then forgot the rest of the evening, she said.

With its unique Power Arm technology, the Organix 1 is the ideal racquet for players who are searching for the ultimate in a lightweight, powerful frame. By combining the revolutionary construction of Power Arm with the unmatched strength and response of Organix material, the Organix 1 offers not only explosive power, but excellent stability especially on off-center hits.
I love this Racquet's stability: it is very favorable on the arm and I find it to be stable at the net. It will help you generate pace on the ball - groundstrokes are unlike my Wilson 105S in that this racquet is more predictable. I've tried different strings on it, including hybrid which worked great. I now have Tecnifibr's NRG2 but havn't hit with it yet.
Compare the Swing weight of this 9.9 oz racquet to that of the following and you will ask yourself how did Volkl do it: Wilson BLX Blade 98, Wilson Six.One and Wilson Pro Staff 97. Also, compare Stiffness and String Patterns of the same and decide what's going on here.

Sometimes it strikes me that cooking doesn't take *that* long, and then I just have to make something. I jumped rope yesterday evening, and I didn't want to eat dinner immediately after, so I had to find something to fill my time. Enter Almond-Coconut Biscuits from Girl Gone Primal. They're very simple: almond flour, shredded coconut, coconut oil, an egg, and flavoring. I forgot the vanilla, which probably contributes to the fact that mine are a wee bit plain. But then, per the recipe suggestion, I made myself a small plate of blackberries, topped them with coconut cream, and ate a serving of biscuits alongside, and for THAT purpose, they're very good!
I don't think my mom will buy into it, though. She has a killer sweet tooth. So I will try a batch that uses butter instead of coconut oil. I'm also curious to see how they would taste if I dunked the bottom of them in chocolate, kind of like a Milano cookie, or just artfully drizzled some chocolate on top. Oh, and stevia. I'm personally against adding any kind of sweetener to anything, but I'll try it to see if it makes the cookie more like a sweet cookie. The one thing I DON'T want is to send my mom some cookies and have her think they taste like "diet" cookies! That would just take an already kind of depressing situation and make it really suck. I do hope, though, that with the diet change she loses some weight. Not that she's fat or anything -- she's probably only slightly overweight, but I know that she would be happy if she lost some weight. We'll see!
I've been experimenting with the wonders of coconut recently. I bought some coconut creamer from Sprouts. Of course, I looked at the ingredients in the store, but I must have only really glanced, because then when I used it the other day, I saw that right after "Organic Coconut Milk" was "Organic Cane Juice." That's a lovely way of saying SUGAR. I'll use it for now, but I won't buy it again.
I have been cooking my eggs in coconut oil. It's definitely a different taste, but it makes the eggs kind of creamy, and since I'm a fan of snotty eggs anyway, this is a good thing. I might start using a teaspoon instead of a tablespoon, though.
I also don't have access to coconut cream yet. Maybe the world foods section in Kroger has some, but mostly I can just find Thai Kitchen Coconut Milk. I think I'd rather have the cream because then if I want milk I can just add water. But in this case, I did just the opposite. Yesterday, I took a can of milk and stuck it in the refrigerator. Then, when I opened the can, instead of shaking everything and mixing it all up, I just scooped the firmed-up cream from the top of the can and used it to top my blackberries instead of whipped cream. It was pretty heavenly. I wonder what would happen if I whipped it like heavy whipping cream...
Then today, I topped off Coconut Week 1 with some "popcorn shrimp." I took half a bag of previously frozen shrimp, peeled them, dried them off, coated them in one whipped egg, coated them with unsweetened shredded coconut, and fried them. They're good! The coconut comes out very breading-like, and the shrimp come out, well, shrimpy. That's okay with me because the usual popcorn shrimp are totally flavorless. I mean, that could be chicken under that pile of breading for all I know! But no, these are bread-y and shrimp-y. I would just alter my technique a little. I tossed all the shrimp in a bow with one egg, and then I tossed them all into a bowl with the coconut, then shook them around. Some of the coconut ended up clumping with the egg instead of really sticking to the shrimp, so next time I'll toss all the shrimp in the egg and then place them on a plate coated with half the shredded coconut, then sprinkle the rest of the shredded coconut on top. Then, instead of frying them in one batch, I'll fry them in 3-4 batches that i can control more easily. It's mostly an aesthetic thing, really. And it'll up the cook time from, oh, 3 minutes to maybe 10 minutes. Shrimp cook so fast that it's not a big deal, really.
Hubby liked them as a snack. I was surprised because, as an avid hater of all things coconut, I was pretty sure he wouldn't touch them with a 10-foot pole. But I showed him my shrimp, how pretty and breaded they were, and then as I was leaving he sneaked up behind me and ate one. And he liked it!
They're not much of a meal, but I turned mine into a small meal by serving them on a bed of fresh collard greens with a little bit of hubby's homemade mango salsa. Then I topped the day off with some blackberries and coconut cream. Delicious!
On another note, my mom went to the doctor, and her blood sugar is still elevated. She decided, once and for all, that she's going to start taking my dietary advice. She attributes it to the holidays, but on the phone today, she said enough is enough, she's going to try making some serious dietary changes to get her blood sugar under control. I applaud her for trying to do it through lifestyle change instead of medication and trying to nip it before it turns into full-blown diabetes. I also let her know that she can bake some "junk food" that won't spike her blood sugar. I shared a breakfast recipe with her, and i think I'll be sending her a care package one of these days with Paleo almond-flour cookies. When I was in undergrad, parents had the option of ordering special "finals week" care packages for us, and they always had two choices: one with candy and chips and chocolate, and one with fruits and nuts and pretzels. My parents always sent me the fruit one because they knew I would like the apples and oranges more than the chocolate. Well, now I'm gonna send my mom a care package that basically says, hey, you don't have to give up your favorite foods just because you're pre-diabetic. Let's make cookies!
Besides, it's my mom, and it's her health.
I have mixed feelings about my audition on Monday. First of all, the stats. There were 120 people who showed up for the audition, and I was number 78. They heard 10 people in an hour and took a lunch break, so I didn't get a private practice room until 4pm and didn't play my audition until 5pm, in spite of arriving to register at 9am. By the time I played, only one person had been advanced to the final round. Out of my group, two people advanced, and they were numbers 76 and 77 -- in other words, the two people who played right before me. That actually has no bearing on whether or not I advanced, it's just an interesting observation.
Why the mixed feelings? It was hands-down the best audition I've ever played, but I've learned sooooooooo much from my DSO teacher that now I understand fully why I've never advanced. I have a whole laundry-list of problems that need to be fixed (they would seem minute to a casual listener, but if I can hear it, guaranteed the musicians behind the screen who are judging me can hear it, and possibly even more). I'll never stop hearing problems; the goal is to be so finely tuned to how I want to sound and play that the only person who knows I made any mistakes is me. Lofty goal.
Am I upset? Sure. I cried my eyes out last night, and today I'm taking a mental health day. I will still go to my class and teach my after-school students (fortunately the morning students are on a field trip, so I had the morning off), but the clarinet will go untouched, and the gym will go un-visited.
What about the diet part? Well, after reading that link about carb-loading, or, NOT carb-loading on the Paleo diet, I've decided that next time, I won't try it. I'll stick to my regular diet. I think I needed to feel like I was doing everything I could pro-actively, so I tried it. Well, my body sure isn't used to huge amounts of fiber from dried fruit like that! Thankfully the discomfort hit after the audition.
Sticking to the diet, though, was relatively easy. And it's pretty nice when you go into a restaurant, prepared to eat only a salad -- then it's not hard to choose. What was even better was the one night when it turned out I could get some fresh Atlantic salmon with a side of simple broccoli and carrots. But, I was happy with my salad with grilled chicken on Saturday night and my flank steak salad with tomatoes and onions yesterday. They were all so good that I didn't even miss bread or sweets. And believe me, after the audition, I was just so tired that "treating" myself to a gorge-fest on chocolate chip cookies was not beyond me. Instead, I ate a healthy meal, treated myself to an Irish coffee for dessert (and didn't turn down two mixed drinks at the bar later), and the next day "treated" myself to a new jacket, dress, and skirt from H&M -- one of my favorite stores. It's a pity it STILL hasn't found its way to Dallas!
So yep, still sitting here loving the Paleo diet. I suppose if I learned anything about the diet, it's that it is really hard (at least for me) to make drastic changes in my weight. I'm circling around a happy number, and my body is loathe to make a move in either direction. Add the refined, processed junk food back in, and I'll put on weight no problem. I'll also feel like garbage. So there you have it.
Lol, just a few days late, I got an e-mail from my subscription to Paleo Cookbooks that included a link to an interview. The athlete is a bicyclist from Austin, TX, who went Paleo in the beginning of 2009 and says that his performance is better than ever. He also believes that carb-loading is a myth. Here's the link to the article:
Yup, so there you have it. I would like to note that, if anything, my carb-loading experiment has proven that it is impossible to eat a high-carb diet when eating Paleo. I have been eating nothing but dried fruits, whole fruits, salads, etc. in an attempt to get my carbs up and I don't think I topped 150g even once. So there you have it.
Let me give a shout-out to one of my new favorite restaurants. My sister-in-law took me to Art and Soul today for lunch, and it was fabulous! Gourmet food with a southern twist. My meal was surprisingly Paleo-friendly, even if I let myself indulge in the non-Paleo stuff. First came some bread, of which I ate a small amount because it was actually a kind of bread I'd never tried before. Can't remember what it was called, but it was gooooooooooooood! Then I ordered a butternut squash soup that was garnished with a few parsnip chips (parsnip chips!) and some creme fraiche. Okay, hello paleo. Then I had salmon with a warm apple and green cabbage thingy (not quite sauerkraut, not quite coleslaw, all good), and roasted beets with what they called a citrus brown butter. Tasted more like dijon mustard sauce to me, but that's okay, it was delicious. Then for dessert I had almond cheesecake. The crust was definitely not a typical pie crust. It was crumbly and good, I suspect some blend of nuts, butter, and brown sugar. Okay, that part wasn't Paleo at all! But that's okay, I call it a cheat meal.
It was sooooooooooooooooo good! And not cheap. They were having a lunch special, where first course, second course, and third course came for a total of $20.10. Doesn't Applebees have some special where you can get an appetizer and two dinners for $20? And then the dessert is an additional cost, of course. Oh, wait, Applebee's isn't half as good as this was! So if you're in Washington, D.C., this restaurant is HIGHLY recommended. The menu is small and you can't substitute anything, but I truly believe it's better to have a little of very good stuff than to have a ton of junk. Yup. Yum!
Tomorrow's the big day!
I had this plan that I was going to carb load before my audition so I had plenty of energy. Then hubby sent me a link to an article from the Mayo Clinic about carb loading. It was really interesting, and of course commented that before you carb load, you have to be eating low-carb. Their definition was that carbs need to be less than 50% of your caloric intake. Mine is less than 20%, so there you have that.
But then it said you should start 3-4 days before the event. That's today. So hubby and I were debating how I should do this. There was a risk list at the end of the article that basically said carb loading can cause wacky blood sugar or digestive discomfort. Neither of those are exactly desirable for an audition! So... Paleo carb load!
Starting today, for the second half of the day, I will consume lots of fruit and try to keep the fats low (from what I've heard, it's the fat/carb combo that's killer, but you'll be okay if you do high carbs and low fat). We sold our tube TV for $30, so that money is going to be used for dinner tonight on a huge salad, followed up either with a big bowl of blackberries (although those are low-carb) or maybe an apple and my homemade raw "cereal" (all nuts, seeds, and dried fruit). Breakfast tomorrow will definitely be an apple and homemade raw "cereal," and hopefully lunch and dinner can be delicious salads.
Sunday I'm not sure what I'm going to do, because my sister-in-law got us reservations for a Southern restaurant in D.C. that is having a killer special going on. I didn't even think about it until after the fact, but if I'm not careful, that will do a doozie on my tummy! I guess I will aim for fruit and lean protein (at a Southern restaurant? Hah!)
Not sure what I'll do Monday, either, except that I plan on bringing some Larabars with me, which, being all dried fruit and nuts, will be plenty of carbs. We'll see.
I'll be honest, I'm pretty nervous about this audition. My lesson with my DSO teacher was great, my lesson with my UNT teacher was not. So I'm just ignoring my second lesson. And that's that. Wish me luck on Monday!

It's like fall hit suddenly! I'm teaching step this morning and that's about it. I'm just so low in energy these days. Once I get moving, I'm fine but I have to get motivated to move. I'm seriously thinking of hiring someone to rake the leaves this year. I don't want to deal w/ it and it's discouraging to rake 15 bags of leaves and then have more fall overnight where it looks the same again. LOL, one reason I loved the house was the huge oak trees out front.

Wow, the World Series! That's pretty exciting. Who knew that you would make such an impression on a kid--and he would remember you for it---talk about paying it forward, and now it has come back to you. It really shows how our actions can have a greater impact than we could ever imagine.

I used to be into watching sports but stopped a few years ago. I should get back into it, just so i can talk to some of the clients. That's the conversation in the mornings and I'm always left out. I'm not vested enough inmy job to care.
