The British built an improvised log fort around the main house for security, but the overseer's house was outside it and the Motte women were pleased to act as spies for the American troops. After a while, the American Colonel Lee told her that the only way to get the invaders out was to burn the house down, despite its relative newness. Rebecca Motte was such a patriot that not only did she agree to setting her own house on fire, but she said she had something that would help to do it -- a gift from a sea captain friend, a quiver of East Indian arrows with treated tips that would burst into flame upon striking. (Her graddaughter said she used the quiver as a knitting needle case, which is presumably why she brought it with her.)
American sharp-shooters fired the arrows from their rifles and hit the roof, setting it on fire; then they picked off the British soldiers who came to put it out. The British put up a white flag to surrender, and then both sides joined in putting out the fire -- only the roof of the house was burned. That evening, the officers of both sides had a formal dinner with Mrs. Motte, "who received all with equal courtesy."

Here it is with the tail and all, properly blocked.
To recap, I only had time to make a few bookmarks for this year's sale. A couple of ladies there looked at them and thought about getting one for their grandmother, but by the time they had decided, all the bookmarks were gone. Luckily, my parents know one of them from church, so they put her in touch with me. Thus, this bookmark will be a birthday gift for the two ladies' grandmother.
She chose these colors from several suggestions I gave her. I'm really glad she picked these, because I think it's a very pretty combination, so the bookmark was a real pleasure to make. The colors are Lizbeth 672 Burgundy and 650 Denim Blue Light.
The pattern is from Jon's Sweetheart Set. I really feel that this is one of the best tatting purchases I've ever made; I've done the bookmark so many times, as well as the snowflake and the motif, and it never gets old!
"But, really, why does anyone create? You feel a... a restlessness inside, a need to make something new, something no one has ever seen before. You want to add to the beauty and the richness of the world with a gift, an offering that is uniquely yours. It's an act of selfishness and generosity, all rolled into one."

Bloomberg Chinese electric car startups or only 10 left – Sohu car-www.277.cc
Bloomberg: China electric car startup or leaving only 10 – car Sohu Bloomberg published an article today, Chinese currently has more than and 200 electric car start-up companies, now they will face a big shock. Because the Chinese government will improve the technical standards to promote a number of experienced companies out, and consider reducing the number of electric car manufacturers to 10. An executive from the automobile manufacturing industry association said that the purpose of any control measures to eliminate the strength of small enterprises, which may lead to electric car start-up company about 90% China out. According to China's national development and Reform Commission approved the document shows that so far only two new energy vehicle companies are allowed to produce electric vehicles, and another three companies are applying for. In the context of China's declaration of war against the city haze, the current investment in the field of new energy vehicles to reach at least $2 billion, including Ma Yun, Terry Gou, and other aspects of the, such as the United States, and so on, such as the United States, and so on, and so on, and so on, including the investment in the field of new energy vehicles. The government of the new energy vehicles subsidy policy in triggered a "gold rush" at the same time, it also brings some problems: too much lack of manufacturing electric vehicles or hybrid electric vehicle technology related enterprises into the market. Yin Chengliang, a professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (Yin, Chengliang), said: "there are too many enterprises to enter the field, some of which are only speculators. The government has to raise barriers to entry, so as to avoid irrational investments in companies that have no technology base." Overcapacity in these new energy vehicle companies are likely to face the same problem with the global automotive industry: overcapacity and high inventory. With the popularity of low-cost models, as well as the cost of energy saving and emission standards increased, the global auto manufacturers are facing pressure to reduce profit margins. Last year, China overtook the United States as the world's largest market for new energy vehicles, including electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicles. According to the China Association of automobile manufacturers (CAAM) data show that in 2015 China's domestic auto manufacturers sold 331092 new energy vehicles. The government's goal is to 2025 sales of new energy vehicles reached 3 million, nearly 10 times the growth. At the same time, the government will subsidize 60% of the price tag. It is reported that China currently has about new energy vehicles in the development of. Dong Yangcheng, executive vice president of China Association of automobile manufacturers: "we are really supporting the development of new energy vehicles, but we should not let everyone participate in it." Only authorized 10 Dong Yang said that China's Ministry of industry and information technology is considering the number of new energy vehicle manufacturers in the control of less than 10. Of course, this figure does not include traditional car manufacturers, such as SAIC and BYD, etc.. Currently, the Ministry did not respond to this. However, due to the introduction of more stringent quality control measures, some start-up companies, even if the production license, starting from the production line is still very far away. Earlier this month, a new energy vehicle management approach to the draft, the Ministry of the list of new energy vehicle manufacturers must have相关的主题文章:

Confidential prescribing and patient safety reports on key indicators now available free for GPs
Confidential reports designed to help you improve the quality of your prescribing and patient safety are now available for practices that contribute to the MHRA's Clinical Practice Research Datalink.
Information for GPs:
- GP practices can receive free quality improvement (QI) reports to enable:
- patient-level case finding for contraindicated drug prescribing
- easy review of individual patient care plans
- confidential benchmarking against GP practices across the UK
- collection of evidence for annual appraisals under Good Medical Practice Domain 2 (Safety and Quality)
- the reports are available to practices contributing de-identified patient data to Clinical Practice Research Datalink, a Centre of the MHRA (see About CPRD section below)
The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) in conjunction with the MHRA's Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) have developed confidential bespoke practice and patient-level drug prescribing reports, available for free for GP practices contributing to CPRD.
The reports provide a list of pseudonymised patients at the practice so that GPs can re-identify and review their care plans. They also show the practice's prescription rate benchmarked against other participating GP practices.
Each report covers a selection of safety indicators. Current indicators are taken from the RCGP patient safety toolkit with input from NICE, including:
- Prescription of glitazones to patients with heart failure
- Prescription of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to patients with heart failure
- Prescription of NSAIDs to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
- Aspirin monotherapy for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation
GPs are invited to take an active role in suggesting topics for future reports.
A sample report is available on the CPRD website. Dr Tommy Hunter has written a blog about how he has used the report at his own practice. Unlike much of the performance measurement information that a practice receives, this report is for practice-use only and not in the public domain.
To receive the reports, practices must first join CPRD.
About CPRD
CPRD is a Centre of the MHRA and jointly supported by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). CPRD provides access to anonymised UK health data for public health research. Research using CPRD data has resulted in over 1,800 publications which have led to improvements in drug safety, best practice, and clinical guidelines. The data are also used by the MHRA, in conjunction with the Yellow Card Scheme, to support the continuous monitoring of the safety of medicines and vaccines. To find out more about CPRD and the other benefits of joining, visit the CPRD website.

Hong Kong has a golden chance to restore Queen's Pier to its former glory
Government must take heed of plan by activist group Designing Hong Kong to rebuild the site – dear to the hearts of many – at its former location
Related topics
The former Queen's Pier in Central had a unique place in the collective psyche of Hong Kong people. Now that there is a chance to restore it back to where it was, with a cheaper price tag than those of three other options, it seems a no-brainer as to what the government should do.
For decades, the pier, along with Edinburgh Place and City Hall, served as a major public square, a cross-harbour hub, and the part of Central that catered to major cultural events. It was a meeting place for friends, families and lovers. Every British governor and royalty arrived and left the colony at the pier. It was the physical embodiment of so much of our history and culture.
Calls to put Hong Kong's Queen's Pier back where it used to be
That was why its dismantling in 2007 to make way for reclamation works – required for the Central to Wan Chai bypass – caused such an angry public outcry. It was not only that the pier had a grade-one historical status; many old buildings and structures had a similar classification. The pier was different in that many locals had a visceral attachment to this Central landmark. Its dismantling was also part of the continuing reclamation-erosion of our beloved harbour.
When historians write about the origins of localism, the outrage and protests against taking down the pier may be a good starting point. The cavalier and arrogant attitude of government officials greatly contributed to the public anger. Many came to see the government as intransigent and unresponsive.
Still, then public reaction was tame by today's standards. But the anger and frustration were already there. Now they have exploded.
Queen's Pier resurrected? Hong Kong officials considering design options near its former site
A public consultation is under way on three options for restoring the pier – all of which involve locating it between Pier 9 and 10, a fair distance from the original site.
Designing Hong Kong, an activist group, and its supporters have pointed out an obvious alternative: put the pier back to where it was. It would not only be cheaper but restore its cultural and historical value.
Instead of just focusing on the pier's transport function, bureaucrats should think outside the box on this project. Restoring the old pier will not put radical localism back in the bottle, but it would make many people happy by restoring a part of the city that is dear to the hearts of so many.

Alleged Galaxy Note 8 Renders Leak Online
by Jul 14, 2017 5:51 pm2
Renders of what is supposedly the Galaxy Note 8, Samsung's upcoming phablet, have been leaked online today, showing what the device's front side looks like.
The images show that the Galaxy Note 8 features a more rectangular body than the Galaxy S8 but with the same curved Infinity display and minimal top and bottom bezels. It also keeps the same 18.5:9 aspect ratio of the Galaxy S8, leading to the Galaxy Note 8 having a taller body than the former.
The physical Bixby button makes a return, once again situated below the device's volume rocker on its left-hand side while the power button is found on the right. There are rumors that the Bixby button will be textured to make it easier to identify apart from the volume rocker.
While the images don't reveal the device's back side, it's been rumored that the Galaxy Note 8 will feature a dual rear camera system coupled with a dual-LED (dual tone) flash as well as a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Other rumored features of the Galaxy Note 8 include 6GB of RAM as well as the same processors found in the Galaxy S8, which are either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 or the Samsung Exynos 8895.
RELATED: Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Like Phablet Appears in Exynos Teaser as Amidst Rumors on Early September Launch
There's no clear launch date for the Galaxy Note 8 but it's expected that Samsung will officially unveil the device sometime in August.

When thinking of roses I thought of a set from last year called "Love, Love, Love". Here is what I came up with:
Of course the stamp set is Valentine themed, and so I decided to make a Valentine's day card. I decided to use a paper tole technique with the rose by stamping and embossing the flower image three times, colouring the image then trimming out the flowers layering for a demensional look. I also used some dry embossing, pulling out my favourite Valentine's day folder and embossing some wood grain patterned paper, and some vellum with a lace embossing folder. I sanded the pattened paper so that the words would be emphasized. I used a distressing tool on the lace to give the edges some texture. This was a surprisingly quick card considering all of the techniques used here. I really like how it came out.
As I mentioned before, this post is part of the Get Inspired page at MFP Speedy TV . If you are not a member of MFP Speedy TV, its a free social networking site focused on stamping and card making with MFP stamps. In addition to our column you will find lots of inspiration, including other informative columns on a daily basis, so why not click over and see what you are missing!
Thats it for me this week! Next week I will have some new inspiration for you, see you then! :)

Discussion in 'Windows 8' started by FaiKee, Jun 8, 2014.
You need to login to view this posts content.
what i am saying is not supported by anything but there is buzz in the MS community that MS are not so keen to make any major updates/patch to this windows 8 (windows 8.1) especially after an oppose/ban from China so I am not expecting any major updates to this windows 8.1. In fact the term windows 8 has brought defame in the major portion of users worldwide. Please note that I am not talking about what is windows 8.1 is in reality but what users are thinking about it worldwide. MS tried to defy the misconception attached with this windows 8 bringing first with major updates via windows 8.1 and later on via update 1 but could not succeed in convince the people. We all know that "first impression is the last impression" rules majority.
Now MS is concentrating with all their engineers on windows 9. we all know there would not be much changes in feature in windows 9 with respect to windows 8.1 with all its feature updates but who can fight with the taboo? Why do we fear of ghost? while there is negligible case when we reported of death really caused by ghost but there is highest rate of death reported case of road accident but still we fear of ghost and not road.
LOL, just watch the show that will come eventually, probably after Update2.
Windows 365 Truly not MS Project?
And Source MJF Say the List is Fake? Just Claimed or True?
Btw one little think about win9rel (your previous post). not really sure that win9
I am very interested in Windows 365 project, good to see final version until next year what will look like.
You need to login to view this posts content.
I have an idea for Windows 9: When you swipe at the same time from the two edges of the screen or Press Windows key and scroll the mouse, the Action Center with Muilti Tasking will appear.

Do you like this?
I don't understand you.
You should look thoroughly and imagine with your Tablet!
You can also think use of two fingers and slide from the two edges of the screen!
Small info update, take it as a rumor - it's still quite far away, and plans could change anyway :
Windows Codename Blue -> Windows 8.1 Updates 1/2/3, Update3 expected 2015 Spring.
Windows Codename Threshold -> Windows 8.1.x or 8.x , or whatever MS would name it, there will be 1 preview, expected 2015 Q2~Q3
Windows Codename 9 -> Windows 9 , or whatever MS would name it, there will be 2 previews, first preview expected 2015 Q2~Q3.
it seems that post was posted in pcbeta...
i like that bbs...
Before PCBeta, neowin first
threshold and 9 difference windows?
i think threshold is win9 code name
Both threads were started by yours truly.
And yes, AFAIK, winThreshold and Win9 are different.
Can you tell something about this..?
Big Change to Legacy Windows code...
Is this work part of Windows 9?
If I had to have a guess, I would say that refers to porting legacy code to windowed metro apps...
yeahh i see in neowin...
Only interested with this words "Is this work part of Windows 9?"
Simply said : I don't know, sorry.
i mean....
About that Neowin news, I just thought it will be in win9 by the words "Is this work part of Windows 9?"
and And after seeing Notice Brandon Live, it looks like nothing to do with win9
*Sory if make you confuse

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia has dumped an exclusive legacy technology systems deal with outsourcer EDS in favour of a three-way split between IBM Australia and Indian companies HCL Australia and Tata Consulting Services. It is the first time the institution has outsourced work to Indian IT companies that have invested heavily in setting up operations within Australia aimed at securing financial services work.
"This is utility work, we want our people to be doing high-value," CBA group executive for technology services Michael Harte told The Australian Financial Review. "We will retain applications development [within the bank]."
In a statement, the CBA said it was pursuing a panel arrangement where the three new companies bid against each other to secure work in a means to "achieve greater contestability" from its suppliers.
The major banks have been publicly flagging upgrades of their technology systems for at least two years.
Australia and New Zealand Banking Group chief executive Mike Smith this week said he intended to ramp up existing operations in Bangalore to reduce costs and improve service.
So far the CBA has shed more than $100 million in operational IT costs over the past two years, money it has reinvested internally in its own technology including customer platform CommSee, trading platform CommSec and a re-engineered internet banking facility and website.
The new deal was expected to involve around 80 EDS positions within the CBA and some staff were likely to be offered positions with the new companies.
EDS was tipped to keep some of the CBA's applications work after retaining key infrastructure contracts worth $935 million across five years earlier this year.
The technology company's appointment of former Westpac IT and operations chief Michael Coomer to the specially created position of global head of financial services three months after he left the bank has apparently rattled clients and his former employer.

I posted the following words, today, on the education blog of the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, entitled, "Get Schooled." The blog's moderator had posted an article by a writer who had observed that teachers had been trying to inspire their students with the following three slogans:
"You can be anything you want to be."
"Never back down."
"Be a leader, not a follower."
The moderator had posed the following challenge to readers of that blog: "So, all you motivators think of the consequences of these slogans and explain the pitfalls of taking them at face value. . . ."
The below was my post, in response:
"All three slogans encourage perceiving in one-dimensional, trite thoughts. For students to learn to think in that manner is diminishing to students' interior growth, as well as diminishing to how students will perceive reality, the world, and others. Education must foster more depth of understanding than these slogans allow. Teachers who, themselves, think in the surface manner indicated by these three slogans do not serve their students well when they encourage their students to perceive reality with the shallowness indicated by these slogans. If a succinct axiom for living is desired to share with one's students, I would suggest simply the aphorism, 'Know thyself.' That challenge for the student will open the possibility for greater depth of exploration through many avenues of thought. And, it will hold the interest of the student over time.
I recently finished reading a book entitled, 'Dying to Be Me,' by Anita Moorjani. This book explores discovering who one is with authenticity, and through the depth of personal experiences which have been explored in creative and unorthodox ways. Some readers of this blog may want to check it out."
My 2013 New Year's message for readers of "Mary Elizabeth Sings" will be posted next week. My post will be based on awarenesses shared by Anita Moorjani in her book, "Dying to Be Me." http://www.amazon.com/Dying-Be-Me-Journey-Healing/dp/1401937535/ref=sr_1_1_ha?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1410540490&sr=1-1&keywords=dying+to+be+me+by+anita+moorjani

You know the one where D&D's sledge capsizes when nearly at the Pole? The picture which some people say ought to be the other way up.
Well I've found a comment by AR about it, in a letter, and I don't think it has been dissected on Tarboard yet.
To G Wren Howard, Sep 12, 1933
Hi! I counted on you to hurl forth the worst of those pictures. ... What about that niggly one of them being capsized in the snowstorm, with Dick's legs sticking up as he goes head first into the snow. My wife says that picture is a disgrace, and that I ought not even to have let you see it. I only let it go because I had nowt better, and because a small girl liked it.

From the dzen website:
"Dzen is a general purpose messaging, notification and menuing program for X11. It was designed to be scriptable in any language and integrate well with window managers like dwm, wmii and xmonad though it will work with any window manager."
See also the Arch Linux forum thread.
dzen is available from the community repository:
# pacman -S dzen2
And also in the AUR, you can find dzen2-xft-xpm-xinerama-svn 267-2.
This version has all the bells & whistles enabled in the PKGBUILD. With Xft and XPM support you can use nice fonts and xpm images in your bar.
Tips & Tricks
Using custom fonts with Dzen
If you wish to use custom fonts with dzen2 (like the popular Terminus font), you need to add the path to your local fonts folder in xorg.conf.
Section "Files" ... FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/local" ... EndSection
If you do not have permission or do not want to change xorg.conf, you may add this to ~/.xinitrc:
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local xset fp rehash
Dzen & Conky
Conky can be used to pipe information directly to dzen for output in a statusbar.

This freezable hummus is a great way of using up a glut of beetroot and makes a vibrant, healthy snack
Cook the beetroot in a large pan of boiling water with the lid on for 30-40 mins until tender. When they're done, a skewer or knife should go all the way in easily. Drain, then set aside to cool.
Pop on a pair of rubber gloves. Pull off and discard the roots, leaves/stalk and peel of the cooled beetroot. Roughly chop the flesh. Whizz the beetroot, chickpeas, lemon juice, cumin, 2 tsp salt and some pepper. Serve swirled with a little yogurt, some toasted cumin seeds, a little torn mint and some crusty bread.

CLEVELAND (AP) Mike Cleary, the longtime National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics executive officer, has died. He was 81.
The NACDA said Friday that Cleary died Thursday.
Cleary served NACDA for five decades as executive director and most recently as director emeritus. He was on the National Football Foundation's board of directors from 1998 to 2011 and received the NFF Outstanding Contribution to Amateur Football Award in 1994.
''For over 50 years, Mike Cleary dedicated his life to collegiate athletics and specifically NACDA,'' NACDA executive director Bob Vecchione said in a statement. ''Mike has meant so much to so many. I have known him for over 33 years, and to this day I am amazed by the number of people, from all walks of life, who have relayed heartwarming stories on how Mike changed their life.''
While serving NACDA, Cleary also held posts as the commissioner of the Ohio Athletic Conference from 1973-81 and administrator of the Division 1A Athletic Directors' Association from 1986-92. The Navy veteran served as president of the John McLendon Minority Scholarship Foundation and the Michael J. Cleary Northeastern Ohio Chapter of the National Football Foundation, named in his honor in 2008.
''Mike Cleary was a true pioneer,'' NFF chairman Archie Manning said in a statement. ''Recognizing a void in college athletics, he stepped forward in 1965 as NACDA's first executive director, and he built the organization into a powerful force. It would be impossible to imagine the world of college athletics today without NACDA and Mike's many contributions.''
Before joining NACDA, Cleary served as the director of championship events for the NCAA and NAIA. He also was general manager of the Cleveland Pipers in the American Basketball League under owner George Steinbrenner. While with the Pipers, Cleary hired John McLendon, the first black coach to head an American professional sports team. Cleary also was general manager of the Kansas City Steers of Abe Saperstein's ABL and Midwest scout for the New York Knicks.

I was recently on a panel about HIV and got asked a tough question about empowerment. The question was: "What does empowerment mean to you? What does it look like?" I gave an answer about jobs and economic security because those were the issues coming up over and over again in my work in Philadelphia. But I left the panel very unsatisfied with my response. My dissatisfaction was less at my ability to respond than at the limited constructs we have to understand the true meaning of empowerment.
Empowerment is an expansive topic. There is a totality about the phenomenon that is bigger than what any individual can see or say. That's why it's hard to explain. To understand empowerment we have to think collectively for the idea to fit in our world. I think ultimately it's about freedom and having whatever you need to be free. In my case, my friends and family are critical.
An important aspect of staying free are supportive relationships. I just got a video from a kindred soul that prompted this blog entry. People can help keep you free. So part of what empowerment looks like to me is a web of nurturing relationships. Relationships that find you at the right time and at the right place. A lot of people don't have this web. I would be lost without mine.
On that note, I have attached the video that inspired the lesson. Not surprisingly it is none other than Nina Simone. Enjoy and stay free…

There's a lot crapola in modern politics, but the craziest stuff comes from the left feminists.
A recruitment agency in Australia, Seek, has produced a list of "masculine" words that should not be used in job advertisements that seek to attract female candidates. These words include "independent," "competitive," "assertive," "determined" and "analytical".
These fruitcake feminists have got a corresponding list of words that are thought to be feminine, such as "responsible," "connect," "dedicated," "support," "sociable" and "conscientious".
How crazy is this? I know the women in my life are brimming with assertiveness and confidence and determination.
Australian women do not need to be talked down to by feminists in this way.
Do you like this post?

For a little over three weeks, Glendale Community College student David Khechumyan weighed the value of a pledge over the promise of his future.
The Burbank High School graduate had won the college's student-body presidency, a position he coveted and campaigned for. Not long after, Khechumyan was informed he had been accepted to USC, which had been a childhood aspiration.
So, the Burbank resident was left with a fundamental question heading into the fall: Should he stay or should he go?
"I was torn and was going back and forth between what I should do," Khechumyan said. "I didn't know, and it was really tough. I talked to a lot of people on campus. Even though I could do a lot here, my future is at USC and it's not a guarantee that I would be accepted again."
On July 18, Khechumyan officially stepped down as student-body president and trustee less than two months after winning the election with 994 votes in late May.
The sophomore will be replaced by fellow student William Melikyan.
"We have policies of succession that govern what happens should a president step down," said Andre Manukyan, the college's student activities coordinator. "This isn't something brand new, and it's happened at other times. I wish David the best at USC."
Khechumyan was present at the last two Glendale Community College board meetings but for different reasons.
On June 19, David Viar, the college's president/superintendent, swore in Khechumyan in the final board meeting of the 2017-18 school year.
At the first meeting of the 2018-19 school year on July 18, Khechumyan announced the end of his short tenure, which drew comments of support and a snicker.
Khechumyan said he was relieved by the trustees' responses.
"Congratulations, and you have it on your resume that you were a trustee?" quipped Ann H. Ransford, board president, during the meeting.
"All of them were very, very supportive when I talked to them," Khechumyan said. "They all knew ahead of time, and they told me, 'It's your future, you have to get started.' The amount of support that I got for my decision was great, and they said they were proud of me. Now, I'm ready to go."
Of course, the path to USC is not all cardinal-and-gold-colored roses.
Khechumyan has spent much of his time since stepping down looking for work to help pay for his dream.
Khechumyan has no financial aid and little in terms of scholarship money for USC, which costs $55,320 annually, according to school figures, not including books and supplies, housing, fees and transportation.
"I wasn't sure how much money I'd need for a private school and, when I saw the price, I started looking at my options," Khechumyan said.
The 20-year-old didn't believe he would be accepted to USC when he applied in February and thought the documentation process would provide excellent experience for the following year.
Khechumyan, a member of the Glendale Community College student government since the 2016-17 school year, decided to run for president in the meantime.
"I wasn't sure I would get in," Khechumyan said of his USC application. "I've always been an advocate of student government, and I was actually the vice president of relations [before]. I wanted to become president and student trustee."
According to Khechumyan, USC asked for additional grades and paperwork in April. On June 26, Khechumyan received a letter of acceptance from USC that was surprising and exhilarating. A decision had to be made.
"Since I was a kid, I've always said I want to stay close to home when I went to college, and it would be UCLA or USC," Khechumyan said. "I was leaning toward UCLA until I went to visit USC's campus and I loved it. When I left, I said this was going to be my school, and I would do anything to come here."

Currently watching Los campesinos
At a gig with Silversun Pickups and Dandy Warhols.
Los Campesinos has come on for a surprise 22 minute support slot!
Just a sufficiently rare/surprising event to warrant posting.
I mean
there were about 4 other people out of the 800+ already there that seemed to know of the band.
So I wanted to share the experience with people who know the band.
I'm sure
they were talking about supporting the DWs in Australia on their twitter the other week
clearly just badly advertised more than anything!
truth be told
the only advance info I had about the gig was from my friend who was offering half-price tickets. He'd never heard of Los Campsinos, so it wouldn't have occurred to him to mention them, but even so, a retrospective search of the press suggests that they were never mentioned.
Wait, wait, hold on a second
The Dandy Warhols are still going?politelydeclined this'd this
yeah, they pretty regularly tour Australia (once every year or two) and draw reasonable crowds. It was clear that 80% of the people there last night had little interest in the other bands.
The last time they played Perth, they were fucking incredible. Up there with the best gigs I've ever been to. This time around wasn't as good — 1 hour set, a bit of faffing about between songs — but still enjoyable. Courtney Taylor-Taylor was absolutely ripped and doing lots of "wow! trippy!" things, but managed not to let it fuck up his singing and playing too much.
I saw from Gareth's tweets they were in Australia. They're great live, hope you enjoyed them!
Yeah, they were great fun. I'm too old to dance at gigs anymore, but it took a hell of a lot of effort on my part to keep myself restricted to vigorous foot tapping, rocking from foot to foot, and tapping my empty beer bottle against my leg. I mean, I chair-dance to You! Me! Dancing! all the time, so it was hard to keep both feet firmly and simultaneously grounded when they finished their set with that song.
They were all getting into it, despite the fact that there was barely a dozen people standing at the front of the stage (lots of people still hadn't shown up, and the bulk of the 5 or 6 hundred that were there were just sitting around on the grass). Kim did a great job despite her mic being way too low.
Can't remember exactly which songs they played, but I think they included these:
Death to Los Campesinos
By Your Hand
The Sea is a Good Place
Hello Sadness (maybe?)
You! Me! Dancing!
It felt like 6 songs all up, so I might be missing one, but those 5 are enough to account for 22 minutes, so who knows.
I hadn't been thinking about them much lately, because I didn't love the last album. Have been listening to all their stuff again over the last 20 hours, though, because their set reminded me how great they can be. As energetic as they are on record, they're even more so when playing live.
I really wish I'd got to see a full set from them. I'm gonna make up an LC playlist to send to my friends who were at the show, so they can better appreciate why I was so excited.
This isn't going to become a thing is it?
I'll be giving gigs a miss for a bit just in case it is.

So like I said I never hardly slept because I was so excited to Mark at church. So I got myself all cute and off I went, my kids were staying with there dad so they were meeting me there. As I was walking in there he was with his mom and dad of which I was introduced. First thing I thought was "wow what wonderful parents, now maybe I will have some in laws that appreciate me and who I appreciate" LOL I know what you are thinking, but heck like I said before, I knew we were going to end up together. So after that Sunday, we spent hours on the phone together, we started going on more and more dates. I was introduced to his children before he was mine, because I wasn't going to introduce them until I knew for sure that Mark was on the same path as me. LOL. Brandon and I hit it off right away, I really thought he was a great kid, even though he has some rebel in him that's for sure. Alesia was this darling darling young girl that dressed like a boy who weighed 200 lbs. But the main thing I remember about her back then was how smart she was, she could hold a conversation with her dad that I couldn't even. And funny, OMGosh how funny. After some time I introduced my kids to Mark, and they all got along fantastic. When we started getting more serious in our relationship we decided to start going to counseling to learn the best way to blend our families. We didn't want to go through what so many others had. And I suggest everyone should do it. We learned alot about our families and each other. But then the dreaded Dr. Laura speech came up. LOLOL mind you I loved Dr, Laura back then, but I sure didn't like the speech from Mark. She said that you HAD to date at least one and a half years before you can get married. So Mark stuck to that no matter how hard I tried to to convince him otherwise. We hung out with his folks quite a bit and played games and just talked, I was in 7th heaven. Such strong Christian people that loved their children so much. I went on to meet his wonderful siblings and his niece and nephews. What a blast. I was taking my kids to Disney Land and asked Mark if he wanted to come and bring his kids. To my surprise he said yes. So we rented two rooms, one for all us girls and one for the boys. What a ball we had, and that is where we were all introduced to dippin dots. Oh Man how we all loved those. So after awhile Mark asked me to marry him and he announced it in church the next morning, and our children didn't even know at that time. It was just amazing. We decided that we were going to get married the next summer on his 7 acres. So now the planning begins. Stay tuned!

Sales Scope Allocations
Map scope allocation to enhance growth opportunities.
How a salesforce is deployed directly effects the growth of an organization, hence a lot of time and money is dedicated to better managing and evolving the salesforce. Besides constantly restructuring it over the life cycle of a certain product, organizations must define the scope by which the salesforce can operate together with various other channel partners in a distribution network, to not only meet customer expectation but to predict future trends and at their own accord.
It becomes integral for an organization to outline the various roles and allocate to their salesforce, specific customers, market segments and product portfolios, besides channel partners, varying as per salesforce size, specialization, and drive. As appropriate allocation of the scope helps to further the organization vision, and determines how quickly the salesforce seizes market opportunities and generates revenue, by better managing cost to company and fast-tracking profitability.
Of course technology is now indispensable to every business process and greatly impacts how the salesforce integrates various processes to go to market, but in a non-eXchange environment, it can be overly perplexing to accurately map the scope allocated to a salesforce, and that's where the eXchange comes in!
The eXchange offers:
- Configuration of sales scope for every member of salesforce
- Flexible sales scope allocation
- Clarity of sales scope amidst salesforce
- Increase in market opportunities, revenue and profitability
The eXchange not only helps to map the sales scope but also maps channel partners to their principals and by configuring flexible scope allocations, it allows them to work as a team, to enhance overall productivity, as mapping opens up a host of opportunities.

Adele's 'Skyfall' Blasts Onto Radio, Headed For Hot 100
10/6 Update: After Adele's "Skyfall" was released Thursday evening (Oct. 4), the song is already trending around the No. 30 rank on the building all-format Nielsen BDS-based Radio Songs chart (which runs from Wednesday through Tuesday each week). So far, it's garnered 21 million audience impressions. As for genre airplay charts (which run from Monday to Sunday), "Skyfall" is already No. 16 on the building Adult Contemporary chart (with slightly more than 200 plays so far), No. 33 on Adult Pop Songs with (morethan 300) and No. 37 on Pop Songs (about 700).
"Skyfall" is selling big digitally, as it's been the No. 1 song in the iTunes Store since shortly after its release on Thursday night. Label sources suggest it sold twice as many downloads on Friday (across all retailers) as it did the day previous. That said, "Skyfall" may move between 200,000 and 250,000 downloads by the end of the SoundScan sales tracking week on Sunday, Oct. 7. That's a mighty number for being on sale less than four full days. As we said on Friday, however, predicting "Skyfall's" sales is difficult, as traditional sales projection models can't necessarily be used for mid-week releases.
At the rate "Skyfall" is selling, it should debut in the top four on the Digital Songs chart this coming Wednesday (10), possibly with One Direction's "Live While We're Young," Taylor Swift's "Red" and PSY's "Gangnam Style" likely at Nos. 1-3, respectively.
Adele's James Bond theme song, "Skyfall," is headed for a notable debut on the Billboard Hot 100, based on a strong launch on radio and early sales projections. The song arrives a few weeks before the series' latest film, starring Daniel Craig, premieres in theaters.
Adele Debuts James Bond Theme: Listen to 'Skyfall'
For 24 hours beginning at 6 a.m. local time today (Oct. 5), "Skyfall" is airing at the top of each hour on approximately 180 Clear Channel Media and Entertainment pop, adult pop and adult contemporary stations (roughly 100 of which report to the Billboard Hot 100). It's the latest single supported by the chain with hourly plays, following similar launches for Rihanna's "Diamonds," Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," and earlier songs by Prince, Jason Aldean, Madonna and others.
After the song was released yesterday evening, "Skyfall" is already trending around the No. 50 rank on the building all-format Nielsen BDS-based Radio Songs chart (which runs from Wednesday through Tuesday each week). In less than 24 hours, it's garnered 10 million audience impressions. As for genre airplay charts (which run from Monday to Sunday), "Skyfall" is already No. 21 on the building Adult Contemporary chart (with slightly more than 100 plays so far), No. 40 on Adult Pop Songs with (about 200) and just below No. 40 on Pop Songs (about 400).
As for sales, it's difficult, at the present, to forecast how well Adele's "Skyfall" will sell by the end of the tracking week on Sunday (Oct. 7). The song went on sale early yesterday evening (after being available as a pre-order since Monday), so we don't yet know what it will sell on its first full day of availability (today).
That said, the song's sales launch last night is tracking well and could point to a start in the range of 200,000 by Sunday night. Of course, that number could fluctuate wildly depending on how the song -- which is currently ranked at No. 1 in the iTunes Store -- will sell over the weekend. 200,000 could end up being a conservative figure, but we'll know more definitively tomorrow, once we have knowledge about the song's Friday sales. We'll also then be able to better gauge where "Skyfall" could debut on the Hot 100. Highlights of the finalized chart will be released Wednesday (Oct. 10) on Billboard's websites.

Hullo Ladies!
I've been searching though the photos on my camera today and found pictures of some old manicures that I had forgotten about!
This one I tried to do when watching the Eurovision, I had spotted a picture like it on Google around the same time and loved the idea!
It's one of those mani's that from a distance looks fine but up close falls apart hehe
I really want to try it again at some point to see if I can improve it :-)
I used Barry M Matt White as a base and then Barry M's Black for the detail.
Both are very pigmented polishes, I'm pretty sure it took three coats of the white to get a great, even base. Which isn't so bad for a white colour!
Well I don't think its my best work but I had fun which is what counts!
Have you tried the Tuxedo look before?

Stevia Hellas Coop was established in the city of Lamia in 2012 in the predominantly rural prefecture of Phthiotis. Its members are growers coming from Central Greece. Currently, the cooperative includes 135 members. Stevia Hellas is growing stevia plants and produces stevia sugar for the consumers with the collaboration of external partners. For that purpose the cooperative is also collaborating with institutions and organisations for the improvement of the product. The head office of the Cooperative is located in the city of Lamia.
"There is a big opportunity for our cooperative to be part of a research project carried out from two of the best research institutions, IRS and IFI. Additionally, we take the chance to collaborate and come closer with other social enterprises across Europe. At the end of the day the dynamic economic and societal development requires that people in rural regions need to be on alert as well, for either making or spotting opportunities and create innovation for the development of their society as a whole, since they are growing in this. The main expectation for this project is the knowledge transfer that could take place among the participants. Explore best and worst practices, enhance our network through the institutes and learn the way to a successful rural development through social entrepreneurship."

I'm lookin' at 42 degrees out there. It's the warmest day of the year so far (ha!), but too cold to open up. Yet the girls are on my mind.
This being the first year I've gotten as far as trying to overwinter my hive, I've never before bumped up against the conundrum I now face: It's time to place orders for new bees in the spring. I've decided not to start a second hive this year … but what if the worst happens? I won't know till after the ordering deadline whether I need a new package … what to do?
As I understand it, the center of a healthy hive (meaning the spot where Her Highness is living in luxury) remains at a fairly constant 92 degrees throughout the winter. (Just think how much vibration of wings there must be to accomplish that!) But I'm having trouble accepting that it could be 92 in there through some of the uncommon single-digit nights we've had these past weeks.
So I'm on tenterhooks. I asked a mentor what to do, and she responded, "That is the million $$$ question we face each season."
Forgive me, girls, but I'm enough of a realist … pessimist? … that I placed an order. How I hope I don't need it and can pass it along to someone else.

This collection of comic strips from 1972 - 2010 from the Dutch artist Joost (rhymes with 'post' not 'juiced' as Chris Ware informs us in the introduction) Swart, is a delight from start to finish for fans of the European style of cartooning.
Joost was strongly influenced by Hergé's Tintin adventures, and his style is similarly precise and clear, meticulously crafted and elegantly coloured by watercolour. Yet his content could not be further from the innocent Tintin, taking it's cue across the Atlantic from the adult content of the underground American comics scene, and artists like Art Spiegelman and Robert Crumb.
Joost Swart's most popular creation was Jojo de Pojo, a lad sporting a quiff and plus-fours, yet who, rather than save the world from crime and evil, indulges in activities Tintin never even dream of. His audience, brought up as boy scouts, and now young adults in the seventies, experimenting with narcotics, alcohol and sex, would have appreciated the artist struggling with complexities that they encountered in their everyday lives.
Swart is a renaissance man, and is a graphic designer and architect, has designed furniture, murals and stained glass windows. He designed a theatre in Haarlem (his hometown), and designed the interiors of the Hergé Museum in Brussels. He founded a publishing house in the eighties and in the nineties instigated the Comics Event held in Haarlem. Chris Ware also writes in his introduction that, when he visited the artists studio, he had just finished designs from pastries for his local patisserie, and how he faxed him a beautifully drawn map showing how to get to the studio. This charming and innocent approach seems to underpin much of his work, and he operates at the personal level, getting involved in projects close to his heart (and his home), rather than the one with the largest pay-cheque.
This small book will introduce one of the greats of European comics to a new audience, bringing together strips that were published over 40 years ago, in obscure Dutch magazines, and re-presenting and translating them for fans of comic books the world over.

I trade the pullbacks in the trend of the chart I am trading. As the title of this post says, not all pullbacks are created equal. The qualitative classification of the pullback is important, particularly if you are using your algo to enter trades.
So you need patience. Patience to wait for the picture to appear that meets your TP (trading plan). But of course for that to happen, there needs to be a detailed enough trading plan. And you need to be able to recognise the picture in a timely manner and execute the trade. Quite a lot to do when the markets are moving with a lot of volatility.
But back to a qualitative assessment of pullbacks. Pullbacks are pullbacks in price, but they can be seen and measured more easily with indicators. Indicators do NOT lag. They show what they show at the moment. Using an indicator which shows you the information that you want to see is they key. Indicators show you what is happening and what is not happening.
There are people that trade who say that only price should be looked at. They say that only a bar chart should be used. But the moment you create the bar chart you are really using an indicator, as your bar chart begins organising the price into bars of your chosen periodicity. The only true price based trading are the time and sales and the bid and ask size. We had that on the floor, but we had more than that as we "felt" the market and "saw" the market, information that is very difficult to get electronically just from time and sales and the bid and ask size. So we measure the order flow using indicators, whether it's volume breakdown, CCI, moving averages and the like.
The chart below of the Euro trades today shows the two best trades out of the four. It may well be that you want to filter out the two "lesser" trades and even more "lesser trades. The way I go about this is to add my tools to the chart and observe. Once I have an idea of what will filter these lesser trades out, I back test it with a quick algo. Then I look at the behaviour of what I have created over a variety of markets and decide what else I need to do or whether there are types of markets or times of day that I want to make sure I don't trade in combination. I also decide whether to run the picture as an algo, and whether it is more suitable for fully auto trading or for hybrid or just manual discretionary trading.

Editorial: A bookmark to the day we can't forget
In telling the stories of the survivors of Sept. 11, 2001 three years ago, we learned that many of them saved mementos from that day: An evacuee kept the shirt he was wearing; a firefighter mounted a shard of glass on wood; many clung to keys for buildings that no longer exist.
The everyday objects serve as bookmarks to the day we will keep turning back to for the rest of our lives.
The National September 11 Memorial Museum, which was dedicated Thursday, is filled with such bookmarks. Some are physical: The heels of a survivor who scrambled down 77 flights of stairs; a mangled fire engine; fliers still silently pleading for news of missing loved ones.
Other senses are stirred as well. Museums are traditional hushed, yet here are the sounds of pealing church bells at funerals, bleating sirens and the voices of the dead.
It's human nature to seek to record only the warmest moments in our lives. Parents record their child's victories, but seldom their failures. Cameras are tucked away at times of loss.
But learning from history sometimes requires gazing upon the darkest moments. The museum freezes in time some of the gravest hours in American history. Most of it is underground, along 16 acres forever known as ground zero. It is now a tomb, and a reminder.
The museum is a testament to the finest and most grotesque of human behavior. It marks the day when almost 3,000 people were killed, including dozens of our neighbors here in Connecticut. It also is the day strangers reached out to strangers through unimaginable circumstances.
Future generations will not brace for the anniversary as late summer temperatures cool. For them, the museum will not be a bookmark, but a classroom.
The museum has inspired debate since it was proposed, but it will evolve in years to come. One lingering issue is the price of admission. When it opens to the public on May 21, it will cost adults $24 on most days, though there will be no admission fee for 9/11 family members and rescue workers who register. There will be a window from 5-8 p.m. on Tuesdays when it will be free to everyone.
Americans look upon this hallowed ground with the same solemn respect as Gettysburg and Pearl Harbor. We encourage U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy and their colleagues to pursue ways to reach a compromise between the private foundation that runs the museum and the federal government so it can become affordable. Cost should not be an obstacle to Americans who want to pay respect to the dead.
We will keep turning back the pages to Sept. 11, 2001. We will continue to flinch when we gaze upon these bookmarks of the day, but we should never look away.

CF4em is a highly scalable, robust, feature-rich, ColdFusion based message board application. CF4em started out as a custom solution to a specific need but, with the requests of friends, colleagues and users, it has grown into much more. I've always been a fan of the PHPBB forum and though I wouldn't necessarily say that CF4em is the ColdFusion solution to PHPBB, it is definitely the closest thing that I've seen.
I have been working on CF4em for quite some time now and have put many different versions into production. Each one has had more features and less bugs than its predecessor but with a schedule that only allows me to work on the application between other projects, it's taken a long time to convert CF4em to a standalone application but that is exactly what I have done. I hope you enjoy it!
Last Update:
CF4em v2.28-Beta - March 15, 2011
* [BUG #BR00057] - 2.16 Beta - Implicit Struct Declarations
* [BUG #BR00059] - Error in Admin when accessing
* [BUG #BR00065] - Error on subscriptions list
* [ENHANCEMENT] - Support for Gravatar.com avatar images added to this release.
See full changelog history here: http://cf4em.com/support/index.cfm?subsect=changelog
There are multiple versions of CF4em. The first was written and tested on CF6. The latest uses an Application.cfc so CF versions vary with CF4em versions.

I am back home from judging in Miami and working to get back on track. Three days of judging with very little downtime and traveling to get back seems to get me off track. Scrounging for the right foods to eat and getting in my normal daily exercise seemed to fall away. This week I have worked to get me food back on track and get back in the gym. The weather has been rainy and cold so running has been zilch. I continue to pay attention to what I eat and how much. Overeating usually can be the problem for me, but not getting enough calories can be a problem too. Eating too little can cause just as much damage as over eating. Believe it or not! Continue reading
Getting excited about heading to Miami, Florida to be a judge at the Wodapolooza Fitness Festival. Not only will I see some awesome athletes, but this year I will get to be a part of judging the competition. It's kind of like a pre-cursor to the games… athletes have to qualify. Feels like a sneak peek into what the World Games may hold for 2016. What makes it even better is that I know several athletes that made it past the qualifying and will be competing this year.
Looking for something new?
Listening to the rain this morning, reading my devotional, checking out the post on Facebook from the folks at my gym made me thankful to be a part of something in this big old world. Around 2010, I started Crossfit, hesitantly. One of my running buddies convinced me to come give it a try. The gym was offering a free trial week so I said what the heck let's do it. By the third day I was hooked. I "drank the Kool-aid," as they say and have never looked back. After five years, I have no regrets and I still love it. Crossfit is for everyone, regardless of what you have heard or any images you may have seen or conjured up in your head. Don't lose out on a great health benefit, physical and mental, due to some crazy comment or image you may have heard or seen. It's wrong.
Christmas Eve Morning… from my journal
I woke up early this morning as usual, hard to break habits, and was reading in the book of John about Jesus feeding the five thousand. Just two days later unbelief began to set in among his followers even though they had seen this miracle and many the days before. When Jesus began to speak of things they did not understand or that went against what they wanted to hear they began to doubt and walked away. I find myself struggling sometimes in the middle of all the craziness of the world, but I know faith is the true test… believing when the intellect doubts. Being too smart for Jesus seems to be the snare for so many in today's world. Looking back over 2015, I realize more than ever how much Jesus loves me because it has been one tough year, one that will go down in the books for me. I can truly see how much God has had his hand in my situations time and time again. I took just a moment to thank him…. for "unto us a savior is born!" Today we begin our family traditions for Christmas and evidence of God's mercy and grace will be present in each of us this year. God really is good… I got up to go get a fresh cup of coffee and picked up a piece of mail that I had forgotten to open last night. As I opened it, I realized it was the results of some testing from my doctor. For the last three years I have had to go every six months for tests. Every time the blood work and other tests have come back irregular and I had to continue on…"watching it" to see if it changed… it hasn't for three years… always irregularities that have to be watched. But this time it was "normal and all clear." My doctor wrote a little note on my results….
"sometimes it just takes time…. Merry Christmas… see you in a year for a regular appointment!" Sometimes you just have to trust God even when things seem "unfix able." Doubt and unbelief have consumed me at times through those three years even though I have seen the miracles time and time again, thank God he saw me through. I don't know what lies ahead for 2016, but I know that either way God will see me through it:) Merry Christmas and remember we celebrate the hope that Jesus gives us this season… be confident in knowing that whatever the situation, Jesus has the final say and even if it doesn't turn out the way we want in the time we want it… his way is the best way and his timing is perfect!
It's that time again…
2016 is fast upon me and already I am planning on things I can do differently. Just like everyone else, I have set resolutions and then by mid January I am wondering why it's so hard to do. Over the years I have gotten better at resolving to make changes and actually following through with them. Setting goals only to be disappointed in yourself is awful. I have learned a few things about setting goals to find success. The kind of goals I set have been critical for me to make real life changes that have made a difference.
Bear Man on the Appalachian Trail!
It was late Friday night around 10:00 pm when we arrived at Fontana Dam Shelter in North Carolina to settle in for the night. After leaving work and driving five hours, I was exhausted and just wanted to climb in my sleeping bag, go to sleep and rest before our hike in the morning. Quietly we slipped in among the snoring hikers and already crowded shelter. There was room for two more so we did our best to set up our sleeping bags by headlamps and not disturb the exhausted sleeping hikers. Finally, I was settled into my sleeping bag snug as a bug in a rug and I waited for sleep to come. As I lay looking out into the night, the cool brisk air of 28 degree winds whipped in and out of the shelter while the full moon glistened across the lake. I pushed down deeper into my bag, listening to the leaves tumbling about and the lull of hikers breathing gradually putting me into a deep sleep.
According to God's Purpose
As I sit here this Thanksgiving morning eagerly awaiting the arrival of my family, I am reminded of just how much I have to be thankful for this year. This year has been a tough year… two deaths in the family, the death of a dear friend who lost her battle with cancer, my mom's battle with cancer and my divorce. I am not one to put my personal business out for everyone to analyze or criticize, but today I recognize and thank God for the struggles. All of these external circumstances that often make life tough are just that… external, but it is the internal that matters the most that is sometimes forgotten during the struggle. These circumstances have been tough to say the least, but I am reminded of God's word,"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
Backpacking Adventure
My first trip on the Appalachian Trail like anything else new was a learning experience, but one I enjoyed and will do again. I have to say I thought I had it together and was prepared. My bag was packed. I had read everything I knew to read… packed my backpack with only the essentials. I am pretty in shape so I felt up for the challenge. Then the unexpected happens and you realize there are some things you can't prepare for really and maybe what you read is not enough. In the end, I realize I didn't have a clue, but I made it through.
Appalachian Trail… giving it a whirl!
I have always wanted to hike the Appalachian trail, but figured I would never get the chance… but as fate would have it, I am about to get a chance at a piece of it! I am actually off the whole week of Thanksgiving and the opportunity popped up so I took it. I will hike for three to four days on my first go at it and still be back in time to hang out with my family for Thanksgiving. The great news is I am with folks that know what they are doing so I get to tag along and learn all the ins and outs of backpacking. I am actually pretty dang excited!
Staying motivated so I stay on track!
After running my second full marathon, I went into rest mode too long and ended up not running for about five months. When I finally started back it was tough… almost like starting over. After this marathon, I am taking a week recovery and continuing on, but to ensure I stay motivated I signed up for a half marathon just a month away. It's easy to let your running get slack after long months of training for a marathon, but trying to start back over after too long of a rest is brutal. I don't want to make the same mistake twice.
