Following the joy of Christmas and the relaxation of the holidays, it's always challenging to start the new year off with a bang in the coldest of the months, and often the busiest. Catching a case of the January blues is no rarity, as just one gray, bitter morning can bring any of us down. At times like these, it's important to cherish the small things, like afternoons with a book and a cup of tea, or a chance to wear sunglasses when rays make an appearance for a few short hours. Most of all, it's important that the January blues are not reflected in your wardrobe. Dressing in black, gray and anything sombre will not help the healing process, only leading you into a greater cold-weather depression.
Force yourself to reach for the neon blouse in your closet, pair it with your go-to wool sweater, and you're all set. Look for essential winterwear that forces colour into your wardrobe, whether it's a new tuque, some knee-highs to peer out from under your boots, or a great pair of graphic pants.
The Essentials
The classic black or gray coat is essential to any Canadian wardrobe, but no need to go overboard on the replicas. Look out for a fresh take on the crucial piece, especially during end of season sale time when you can prepare for next year. How lovely is the ice blue?
Bottoms Up
It becomes so easy to throw on jeans or warm black pants around this time, but don't let the blues take hold of you. Shopping for a new pair of patterned or bright pants for Winter will make strides in your dressing patterns, and bring those staple knits to life against a new canvas. Try opting for a wool pair that will keep you toasty warm and force you to sort them amongst other winterwear.
The Finishing Touch
A touch of red in the Winter is a surefire way to spice things up, whether it's a pair of Hunters, a swipe of lipstick or the perfect red tuque. Find the hat shape that best suits you, and reach outside your comfort zone to those with patterns, brights and embellishments. The finishing touch is your easy street to curing those January blues.
What's your secret to staying stylish in the bitter cold?

hello loves.
Hope you had a grande time breaking bread with family & friends.
I did. First time in perhaps nine years that I have been home and not on tour for Thanksgiving.
Many years of holidays while on a tour bus, fun but not the same as being with blood.
I am very grateful to have Neil Gaiman for my boss, he has allowed me to stay home & work on projects, a big one being getting Neverwear to the next level.
I am preparing to go visit Neil tomorrow & give him some updates on what we are doing with the website.
Recently met with Greg from Likeable Development & got some excellent advice from my "brothers" Jouni & DanGuy.
For the next two months, I will have a small pop-up shop as we give Neverwear.net a little polish & shine.
Stay tuned for that update soon, probably around Dec 5th.
Meanwhile, several items will be cleared out, discontinued or otherwise shelved.
Now is the time to raid Neverwear, and for incentive we are offering 25% of anything in the store.
Use the code: HelpKitty9 at checkout to keep some money in your wallet.
I will leave this code up until Friday, Dec 7th, midnight PST.
for example:
25% off makes this $10.00 Anansi Boys teeshirt $7.50.
Art by the lovely & talented Dagmara Matuszak.
We debuted this shirt at ComicCon 2007, a landmark for us to track the first shirts we ever made.
The details are the ones that hooked us. The delicate printing of "Neil Gaiman" on the back of the neck, the Neverwear sleeve mark & the fine spiderwebbed martini glass...amazingly detailed print quality of the fine line artwork of Dagmara.
here is our good friend & magician, CROW GARRETT
modelling the Anansi Boys beauty:
detail on back of tshirt neck:
These are Hanes' cotton Tees, if that helps any with sizing.
all we have left are smalls, mediums, and larges.
you can get the gorgeous OLIVIA/NEIL print that is usually $150.00 signed by both, for $112.00--
The Michael Zulli IN RELIG ORAN prints are going away as are several of the other limited edition prints.
Help us clear some space for some new ideas.
Take a look around. All my Kitty's treasures will be going away over to Etsy. I'll leave things up for a few more days, while I travel to meet with Neil.
You all have been so kind and supportive over the years, I hope that you'll continue on my journey as we step into the new...Neverwear 2.0!

As you do your holiday shopping this year and think about a big turkey dinner, piles of gifts and the good life that most Americans enjoy, please spare a thought for those who made it all possible: those who serve in our military and the veterans who've worn the uniform. There are some new statistics that give us reason to be ashamed for the way that our country has treated those who've served and sacrificed for us. Those statistics damn the politicians who start every speech by thanking the troops and veterans and blessing them. They indict our national leaders who turn up at military bases and the annual conventions of veteran's organizations and use troops and veterans as a backdrop for their photo-ops. Consider this:
- An average of 18 veterans commit suicide each and every day of the year, according to recent statistics from the Veterans Administration. That's 126 veterans who kill themselves every week. Or some 6,552 who take their own lives each year. Our veterans are killing themselves at twice the rate of other Americans.
- One-quarter of the homeless people in America are military veterans. That's one in every four. Is that ragged man huddled on the steam grate in a brutal winter wind a Vietnam vet? Did that younger man panhandling for pocket change on the street corner fight in Kandahar or Fallujah? For the past four years, the Department of Veterans Affairs has been insisting that it's doing everything it needs to for the nation's veterans. That's simply not true, particularly when it comes to the VA's treatment of mental health issues. As my McClatchy colleague Chris Adams has reported in a series of groundbreaking stories this year, the VA mental health system - even by its own measures - wasn't prepared to give returning veterans the mental health care they need. The experts say that between 20 and 30 percent of all troops returning from combat duty in Iraq and Afghanistan might be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. But many VA hospitals didn't have the special PTSD programs that experts say are vital. The VA keeps telling Congress that all is well. That's not true, either. As Adams reported, the VA has been using fudged or inflated numbers to do so. And after years of promising that it's getting a growing backlog of disability compensation applications under control, things actually got worse this year. No matter whether they've been wounded and need follow-up care and support, or whether they're coming apart at the seams and feeling suicidal, they sometimes must wait months for an appointment to be evaluated and treated at VA medical centers. The same people who don't blink at spending $3 billion a week on their war of choice in Iraq were the ones who cut the VA budget and privatized maintenance at Walter Reed Army Hospital and opposed every attempt to expand benefits for veterans old and young. These frauds who love to pose as wartime leaders sat back and did nothing as a cruel bureaucracy sent bill collectors out to harass double amputee veterans for thousands of dollars because they neglected to turn their armored vests and other gear in to the supply sergeant after they were blown apart on the battlefield. They did nothing as the Army became ever more conservative, even stingy, in the number of injured and wounded soldiers it judged worthy of full disability pensions. Neglecting our war veterans and the widows and orphans that result from our wars is as American as apple pie. It's nothing new. But in the past we always waited until after the war's end to forget those who'd fought the war. This might be the first time in our history that we began to neglect and forget our troops during a war. The next smarmy politician who shouts, "God bless our troops" ought to be tarred and feathered and ridden out of Washington on a rail for sheer hypocrisy. Joseph L.

Of writing and recording the new album, Tucker notes that Kill My Blues was a group effort. "After the past two years playing together, traveling and making music, I think we're more comfortable," she says. "We collaborated on every song on this record and no one was shy about their ideas. I think you can hear that sense of joy and abandon in the songs."
Best-known for her role in punk rock mainstay Sleater-Kinney, Tucker also played in the influential early-`90s rock group Heavens to Betsy. Recently she has appeared alongside Sleater-Kinney bandmate Carrie Brownstein in the IFC comedy Portlandia. Corin lives with her two children and filmmaker husband Lance Bangs in Portland.

Hello all!!! Joy and health to your thoughts!!! I believe to have something of great value here. My free book that I wrote. If you are able to at least make it to the point of reading about how to make Gold - you might be able to make it past to read the rest of the book - in which I reveal great hidden bio-mechanical and technocratic designs. It would honestly take a very open and wise and kind person - in order to understand the essence of Inspired Master Pride Tolerance Arrival in these pages - But that could be you. Here you go! (It even describes plasma, but only a little bit, only as the 5th game - or original UV light - and how it repels and attracts neutrons at the same time in a very specific pattern.) This isn't mainly religious or even about God - it is rather about a detailed science which unifies many areas of life and living images - instead of just areas of technology or physical science:

Foundry Services
Stewart Sculpture Casting is a small fine art foundry established in 1985, owned and operated by Dana L. Stewart. The full-service foundry is located at 13 Old River Road in Lambertville, New Jersey right behind the Golden Nugget Flea Market on Route 29. Over the years, Dana L. Stewart has perfected the art of bronze casting, from miniature to monumental.
Call 609.397.9559 (US) or
contact us
to discuss your bronze casting requirements and allow us to provide you with a quote for services.
The Casting Process
Casting bronze using the lost wax process involves converting an original sculpture (made of clay etc.) to a wax version by means of a rubber mold.
A "wax gating system" is attached to the wax replica and then a ceramic shell mold is made around the gated wax sculpture. The ceramic shelled wax is placed into a furnace and the wax is burned out of the ceramic shell. It leaves an exact negative of the original sculpture. Bronze is heated to the appropriate temperature between 1900 to 2400 degrees Fahrenheit and is poured into the ceramic shell mold to create the bronze sculpture.
When the bronze has cooled the ceramic shell mold is broken off and the gating system is then cut away. The surface of the sculpture is finished and patina is applied for the desired color.

As the dog days of summer carry on, we at Digia, Qt are swatting down flies, mosquitoes and bees while we fan ourselves in the unusual summer heat currently striking Scandinavia … in Oslo … at least.
Meanwhile, on a cool note, the Fun Propulsion Labs at Google announced last week that, VoltAir a single and multi-player game built with Qt is available for download via the Google Play Store and as open source software. Coolbeans!
VoltAir was developed to provide an example of a C++ game designed for both Android and Android TV and the folks at Google also tested it on Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Moto X by Motorola, Android TV, and some Samsung devices.
Check Out VoltAir (Courtesy of Google Developers – YouTube)
Google's Fun Propulsion Labs VoltAir Project page said:
"We looked at various UI frameworks and game engines and decided Qt was not only the more daring choice due to the lack of games developed in it, but also a very interesting one due to the future ability to extend it into a rich editor, support from Digia, and many technical development advantages such as:
- Provided a platform abstraction that allowed us to also develop and test on desktop, reducing iteration time
- Included a scene graph and out of the box "serialization" mechanism
- Allowed for easily building a fluid UI system that was good for games
- Provided an object model with dynamic JavaScript bindings, properties, as well as callback mechanisms for easy scripting and prototyping
- Contained a well integrated IDE (QtCreator)
- Included a flexible LGPL License."
To top it off, our friends at Google gave some more kudos to Qt Quick:
"Qt Quick's strongest feature by far is its abstraction for building user interfaces. It is, in fact, very well suited for the types of UIs you would expect in a game, where there is a lot of latitude taken in the UI element design and animations are abundant."
Thanks, amigos from Fun Propulsion Labs Google. We appreciate the kind words and we wish much success to VoltAir.
Go on everybody – learn more about the VoltAir Project and find out why, how they developed the game. Download it now from the Google Play Store or play around with it yourself with the open source code.

Oh wow it's been a month since my last post. I guess my writing every week idea hasn't quite happened yet. Part of my issue is all my great writing ideas come at the middle of the night and who wants to climb out of their warm comfy bed to go write on a blog. (I certainly do not.)
So I finally went and stayed at not one but two craft shows! I was so proud of myself for finally doing it. I had a lot of fun honestly. The first craft show was super small which made me feel so much more comfortable. It took some serious resolve to get myself to go. I spent hours debating over all the things the many lists I studied on what you should bring. In the end most of what they listed was completely useless for me. However I did need risers, I used different sized small boxes wrapped in a pretty gold paper. All my displays were black velvet so I found a white table cloth at a thrift store to add on top of the red one I already had and the rest just kinda fell into place for my displays. The one thing I did not see on the ever expanding list of things to bring was a light and in the end that was what I needed most for both shows.
The first show was at a small church here in Eureka it was $25 for a 6ft table. There were only around 10 vendors and at most 50 customers came through the show. For me this was perfect. Starting out small often helps with my social anxiety. While I sat there I had an excellent opportunity to asses the other vendors behavior and displays. So even if I had not made a sale it would be a good learning experience for me. There was one couple who were (I assume husband in wife) that spent 90% of the show necking. There was another group of vendors that were so busy talking among themselves they did not pay any attention to the customers who did come through. All of these vendors were upset after the show because they had not gotten any sales. I spent the day doing the show with my 7 year old son and even though I was busy playing with him anytime a customer came through I made sure to greet them and let them know a little about my jewelry. I had 5 sales at this show and have been told that was a really good average. (However I still have a re-sized item for a lady who forgot to come get it. I wish I had remembered to get her number instead of me just giving her mine.)
The second show was held at the VFW hall and was a benefit to help a local lady who has cancer. It was $10 plus a donation to their raffles. This was the most successful fundraiser I have ever seen. Each vendor paid $10 for a table (some had 3 or 4) and donated a prize to the raffles. There was 2 raffles the first occupied at least 6x6 and had almost 90 prizes valued between $10-100. On the table were paper bags with the name of the item on it for gift cards or the paper bag was sitting with a corresponding prize. When you bought your raffle tickets ($1 each or 6/$5) you simply put the half of the ticket with your name and number on it in the bag corresponding with the prize you wanted to win. Totally awesome idea. Then there was a smaller table with prizes valued at over $100. The raffle tickets for these prizes came at $5 each or 6/$20 and like the other table you simply put the half of the ticket in the bag next to the prize you wanted. There had a bake sale as well and Im still drooling over the fudge we got there. :) I didn't get that many sales at this one but I totally considered it a day well spent! (Even before I won a designer pink, black, and white paisley purse with matching wallet. This will probably be the only designer purse I ever own and certainly the most expensive so after a short war with myself I decided to keep it.)
Both of these shows were a really awesome experience for me and I am incredibly thankful I did not chicken out this time. However I hope I remember next year not to schedule them within a week of each other because now I'm sick which is my Fibromyalgia's way of saying slow down you idiot!

Temporary Hiatus
Posted by Nik E. in Uncategorized on August 6, 2012
Well, my dear readers, it has been fun writing over the summer. Unfortunately for you, I'm taking a temporary hiatus. Fortunately for me, I am going off to a Bible College. Thus, my posts will be more irregular as I adjust to my first semester of college and being in a new environment. As writing my thoughts down allows me to put them into concrete terms, it is likely there will be forthcoming blog posts. Unfortunately for me, I shall be busier, which means my writing may have to be put on hold. Fortunately for the both of us, however, God is with us wherever we are, and, if we are in Christ, then Christ is also in us. We are His temples; He is our prize. My prayer is that you will learn to savor and enjoy Christ for all that He has done, but more, all He is.
In the meantime, I want to leave you with a couple essays that have been very thought-provoking for me, especially of late. I hope they bless you as they have blessed me.
C.S. Lewis – "We Have No 'Right to Happiness'": http://www.sunnipath.com/library/Articles/AR00000268.aspx
Jonathan Parnell – "No One is More Tolerant Than God": http://www.desiringgod.org/blog/posts/no-one-is-more-tolerant-than-god
And then, another one that is a great reminder as many people head into the school year:
Jon Bloom – "Don't Get Organized, Get Enthralled": http://www.desiringgod.org/blog/posts/don-t-get-organized-get-enthralled
Thanks for your time and God bless!
In Memory…
Posted by Nik E. in Uncategorized on December 10, 2011
Recently a good friend of mine died. He wasn't a young man and had enjoyed a long life in the Lord, but he has had a profound impact on me. His name was Mr. Smith, a retired missionary and pastor. In life, he was generous and kind, always desirous to speak about the things of the Lord. To me and my brother he gave us some of his old volumes of spiritual classics, something I'll forever treasure. He said he prayed for me, that I was "on his list" of people he prayed for. Going to Mr. Smith's house, you had to expect to be there for at least an hour or two, maybe more; but to me, those were hours well spent, discussing life, the Lord and everything in between.
He inspired me to be a greater man of God, saying that "we need more spiritually minded folk like you and your brother" and always exhorting me to "preach the Word, man." Mr. Smith lived a life devoted to the Lord and I honor him today, knowing that he is with the Lord now, rejoicing in his heavenly body. I can't wait to meet him again someday. I shall never forget the impact his life had on mine.

Charles Darwin's anti-biblical, naturalistic worldview assumptions controlled his interpretations of what he saw in the world
How should we interpret Genesis 1–11?
Last week in Bolivia, AiG held some very full days of presenting creation apologetics talks in the city of Santa Cruz.
Most Christians at least give lip-service to following Christ. But what about His view of the Old Testament?
Thankfully, there is no reason to fear demons.
Dr. Terry Mortenson, AiG-U.S., responds to a recent blog post by Dr. Peter Enns that strongly accused Ken Ham of teaching obvious error and misleading Christians.
Nobody should minimize the danger of errors, especially when we teach error to others.
At the core of evangelical churches is an aversion to human authorities who presume to rule over God's Word.
Was Genesis 1 written from the perspective of "God's time," unlike the rest of Scripture?
One of the major attacks on the Bible in the past 300 years has been directed against Moses and his authorship of the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Old Testament.
With our announcement of the construction of a full-size Noah's Ark and with the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Genesis Flood, our attention is once again drawn to Genesis 6–8.
Why do English translations of the Bible include definite articles that are not present in the original text?
Old-earth proponents' own words indicate that evolutionary theories about the history and age of the earth and universe are the determining factor influencing their understanding of Genesis 1–11.
One result of compromising with our evolutionary culture is the view of creation called the "day-age" theory or "progressive creation."
Today, most people in the world, including most people in the Church, take for granted that the earth and universe are millions and millions of years old.
Is the NIV version of the Bible wrong to say that we are "knit" together in the womb? Dr. Terry Mortenson and Dr. David Menton, AiG–U.S., examine the Hebrew and science.
The departure of Dr. Waltke has become a news item outside Evangelical circles. Terry Mortenson, AiG–U.S., comments on this news item.
Did God create the whole universe, including the original plants, animals, and first two people (Adam and Eve) in six literal 24-hour days?
The problem of evil is always a challenge for the Christian witness. However, William Dembski's "solution" proves logically and biblically unsound.PDF Download
We agree when Dr. Moreland states that "we ought not allow science to dictate to us our exegesis of the Old Testament," but then he proceeds to do exactly that.
Old-earth creationists such as Hugh Ross claim Psalm 104:6–9 refers to the Creation Week, but a closer look shows otherwise.
Ever heard one of these claims? Perhaps you've even said one yourself. We've heard them all—but they're all false, or at least they imply a falsehood.
Noted philosophy professor and author Dr. Barbara Forrest came to Northern Kentucky University to attack creation.
Fourteen scholars came together to address key topics related to the age of the earth. The result was a substantial historical, theological, and exegetical defense of the biblical account of creation
No results found in .
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

This reminds we so much of The Bee Jay's version of "My Boyfriend's Back" (https://www.discogs.com/Bee-Jays-My-Boyfriends-Back/release/3671309). You get the joke in the first 10 seconds and there's nowhere else for it to go, and the music isn't strong enough to carry the conceit.

Numerous people fell in love with the Baked Lays as they were advertised as a healthy variant if the Fried chips.
Yet, apparently, these snacks were not that healthy, as even though they were lower in calories, fat, and sodium, they mostly include salt and chemicals.
These are the ingredients of the Fried chips: Potatoes, Sunflower and/or Canola oil and salt. The used oils are extremely toxic if used at a high temperature, such as the one used when frying the potatoes.
Namely, the starch in potatoes is exposed to the high heat and creates acrylamide, which is a known carcinogen.
Moreover, the potatoes used are not fresh but dried, and then baked at a lower temperature. There is no explanation of the process of drying them, as it probably includes exposure to high temperature and acrylamide.
According to the findings by the FDA, these chips have three times more acrylamide than the fried version.
Additionally, as the Baked Lays are not organic, their ingredients, including potatoes, sugar (High Fructose Corn Syrup), corn starch, corn oil, and soy lecithin are probably from a GMO source.

This post Valentine's Day update has two models who probably have broken more hearts than can be counted: Blake Bennet and Lucas Weston. Mr. Weston starts right in with his overacting.
"I'm not to excited about this, but otherwise I'm fine," he says.
He tells some tale about going out with some ladies and fucking two them. However, all of that was marred by memories of his BSB work.
"Ever since I've been doing this I start to get flashes of this shit in my head," Lucas explains. "It's weird."
Flashes, huh? Do you think Lucas also gets a raging boner? LOL!
Blake lacks his scene partner's histrionics. But going on cruises, and returning with tans, are known stress relievers. :-) This will be Blake's first time on our new couch.
"Break this thing in," he says.
When Lucas first started for us, he had this tale of needing cash to save the family homestead. Those days are apparently past. Blake lets us know what Lucas plans to do with today's earnings.
"He's already pulled up on Craigslist this chopper that he wants to buy," Blake explains. "And I'm like, 'You don't even have your money yet. What are you doing.'"
Clothes are removed, and the two stand next to each other in their underwear. Lucas is certain his white briefs are a sign of heterosexuality and Blake's boxers equal homosexuality. Lucas offers no academic proof for this theory, but seems committed to its application.
The two share a rather passionate kiss. When it's over, Blake offers the line of the evening.
"How is straight underwear working out for you."
Lucas can only grin at being caught in his own illogical reasoning. There is another round of passionate lip lock, with Blake feeling his partner up. Blake pushes Lucas back on the couch, and when underwear is tossed aside the one wearing the straight tight whites has a woody. LOL!
Lucas sucks first though, deep throating from the start. Blake can only nod in appreciation when the cameraman wonders how Lucas is doing. This is Lucas, so there's always some overacting about how much he's hurting from blowing a dude :-)
"Fuck, yeah," Blake instructs. "Just like that."
Lucas pulls up, with an operatic flair. LOL! Blake returns the favor rather easily. Notice how Lucas' eyes roll to the back of his head the moment lips touch his dick? And his pole sure plumps because of Blake's tongue.
"Fuck," Lucas whispers.
He grabs Blake's head and pushes down. Blake takes it all, with nary a whimper or cry.
It's fucking time, and Blake gets on all fours. Lucas saddles up behind him and gets some expert advice.
"Ease in, bra. Ease in," Blake warns.
When that fat sausage is in, raw, Lucas can't help himself. Starts long dicking his partner. Balls deep. Even smacks one of Blake's cheeks. The bronzed bottom moans and groans, taking each inch.
"Oh, fuck," Blake whimpers.
He gets on his stomach, and Lucas heads back home. The sound of the fucking is interrupted by the noise the couch makes.
"Oh, my God," Blake pleads.
Lucas gives the cheek another smack. Has Blake been fucked this hard before? Blake gets on his back. After some lube is applied in the right places, Lucas fills up that hole again.
A bossy bottom! Lucas does fuck the cum right out of Blake, a load ending up all over his abs. Lucas keeps pumping away until it's turn to bust. He pulls out, creaming Blake's stomach. But when he's done, Blake pushes that tool back where it should be.
Lucas is sweating and all, but his drama queen ways quickly return. That's OK. Willing to bet he's upset he wasn't fucked!

What a great idea!! I like the fence idea! Keep up the great work!!ReplyDelete
Hey there! Thank you for sharing your thoughts about cunseling. I am glad to stop by your site and know more about counseling. Keep it up! This is a good read. I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well.ReplyDelete
Counseling psychologists are interested in answering a variety of research questions about the counseling process and outcome. Counseling process might be thought of as how or why counseling happens and progresses. Counseling outcome addresses whether or not counseling is effective, under what conditions it is effective, and what outcomes are considered effective—such as symptom reduction, behavior change, or quality of life improvement. Topics commonly explored in the study of counseling process and outcome include therapist variables, client variables, the counseling or therapeutic relationship, cultural variables, process and outcome measurement, mechanisms of change, and process and outcome research methods.
A family needs hands-on guidance from a therapist to be appropriately supportive and assistive in the treatment or recovery of a member of the family.

THanks for sharing. Im curious the age of the student the was used for. Also, I have no idea how to actually make it. I attempted to earlier today, but i do not have the die-cut machine you mentioned to cut out the fence. Its sounds great though. Any help on making it would me most helpful!
This was used for a 3rd grade student. I would think you could make something similar just using skinny post it notes to cover the different days. Maybe a different color for each day would make it bright and colorful. Thanks for looking! MichelleReplyDelete

03/11/2016 A new round of speed work
I chose to do alternating sprints of 200 meters and 400 meters. After each, I jogged the same length as a recovery before starting over. This is what the workout looked like in it's entirety.
1 mile warm up
200m sprint-40 seconds, then 200m jog
400m sprint-86 seconds, then 400m jog
200m sprint-39 seconds, then 200m jog
400m sprint-82 seconds, then 400m jog
200m sprint-40 seconds, then 200m jog
400m sprint-82 seconds, then 400m jog
200m sprint-40 seconds, then 200m jog
400m sprint-82 seconds, then 400m jog
1 mile cool down
The whole workout was 5 miles and took me about 45 minutes. It was good to be running fast again and promising to reach those speeds even though I'm heavier than I hope to race at. The 400m sprint pace was 5:44/mile for the first, then 5:28/mile for the last 3. Also, the 200m sprints were faster than those.
I finished up the week with a respectable 28 miles total. Next week, I will push the mileage to 30-32, extending the long run and probably Friday's run as well.

03/10/2016 Making every run count
I read a great article today that confirmed what I already knew from reading countless articles like this one. Basically, if you want to race fast, you have to train fast. Several keys go into running fast races. One of these is including short burst hill sprints. Since it was fresh on my mind, I did just that today. Every so often, I run on my .33 mile loop for a bunch of laps. I don't do this to torture myself, it just happens. However, I do like doing the loop sometimes because on every lap, I hav a 7-10 second short hill I need to power up.
These short hill bursts are great for leg power and speed. It doesn't feel bad the first couple, but by 14-15, and being about 5 miles into a run, they get tough. That's part of the theory of my post title today. Make every run count. It is said everywhere in running. It's not necessarily the quantity of miles, but the quality. Today, 5 miles doesn't seem like much, but add in 15 short burst hill sprints. That's a workout to be happy with. Here are my splits fro the run:
|- 0:25 (4%)
|- 0:07 (1%)
|+ 0:10 (-3%)
|+ 0:01 (-1%)

03/09/2016 Speed it up a little
This week so far, I am at 18 miles put in and I look forward to 5 miles easy tomorrow and 6 or 7 miles on Friday. My weekly mileage should be around 28-30 and I want to keep with that or higher for a few solid weeks.

03/08/2016 Sweating the NYC Marathon lottery and sweating, @nycmarathon @nyrr
NYC Marathon lottery results.........
That's right, it's official, I will be getting my NY on in November 2016! By some stroke of sheer luck, I was selected in the lottery again. I had only about a 22-23% chance, but I got in. I cannot wait!
There are a multitude of reasons that I am excited about getting in again. However, the biggest, by far, is that Maura and the kids will be able to see me this time. Last year, it just wasn't the right decision since Maura was like 7 months pregnant and would have had 3 kids in tow. It is the only race she and they didn't go to. Although it was an amazing day I will never forget, there was a big piece missing. I love sharing my races with Maura and the kids. Selfishly, Maura motivates me better than anyone. Just hearing her voice pushes me. I think it's a great thing for the kids to see and be a part of in NYC. The crowds, the supportive strangers, the strange people :) and more! I cannot wait! :)
A couple easy to use, helpful websites
I regularly use two websites that help me a great deal and are simple, yet helpful. The first is my pre-run mapping device. I know there are apps and running programs out there, but this is simply plug in your address, go to the map and click on points to create a route and see where to go and how far it is. I call it my G-Map. It's easy to use and you click on the left to start a course and click points on the roads as you go. It shows you mile/kilometer markers and you can do loops, point to point, out and back, etc. Also, it is completely accurate.
Second, my go to pace calculator site is Cool Running. It's an easy, on site table to creating and finding oout your pace, distance, and time. All you do is plug in what you have and it will give you the rest. Want your pace? Plug in your distance and time. Want your expected finish time? Plug in the pace you want to run and the distance. You can use race specific distances or input distances in miles, kilometers, meters, or yards. I love how easy it is to use.
I hope these help you out. Everyone has his/her go to sites and apps. These are two of mine. If you have any that you like or would recommend, send them my way. I am always looking for things that are helpful. I will pass them along as well.

Shock and Awe
I stepped on the scale and WTF, it said 165.4. I wasn't ready for that. I quickly realized the following as I was standing there:
- I already peed so I couldn't blame it on that.
- I took off my clothes so I couldn't blame it on that.
- That .4, probably all the Oreos the night before.

Who to call "Sensei"?

Re: Who to call "Sensei"?
I had a funny experience in Waitrose (a local supermarket) a while ago. I guessed that one of the cashiers was Japanese from her appearance and accent, and when she returned my credit card to me I held both hands out, palms up, as if someone had passed me a weapon, and bowed my head slightly. She automatically said something in Japanese in response, which ended in "sensei". It felt very natural at the time, but by the time I got back to the car I started to see the funny side of it.
When I was in Tokyo a few years ago, the stallholders under Shinjuku station were all calling out to potential customers as "sensei"; and when I used to go to a Japanese osteopath I always addressed him the same way. I understand that in the context of Japanese culture it is used as a general expression of respect for someone's experience and seniority.
My feeling is that, in the dojo, there are no fixed rules for whom to call "sensei": from my experience I think I know when it is right to do so. Normally I address whoever is teaching the class as "sensei", even if I would use their first name to their face outside. Outside the dojo it feels natural to hail Japanese teachers as "sensei", but not non-Japanese.
Inconsistent? Perhaps.

Animal Control Bylaw #06-2015 is a Bylaw to regulate and provide the controls for Animals within the municipal boundaries of Lac Ste. Anne County. This Bylaw does not include Dogs, as they are covered under the Dog Control Bylaw #05-2015. Cats are not controlled within the County.
Dog Control Guidelines
Recently, Lac Ste. Anne County updated the Dog Control Bylaw #5-2015, which regulates dogs. The new bylaw outlines three distinct types of dogs: domestic dog (a tame dog relying on humans for survival); guard dog (a dog of any age used for security); and livestock service dog (a dog of any age used to protect livestock from predators).
Only three domestic dogs are allowed per property. Livestock service dogs are not included in that number. More than three dogs (as in a kennel or boarding facility) requires a development permit.
Whether on your own property or not, your dog is not allowed to be a nuisance to any resident. By definition, nuisance includes waste and disposal of waste, trespass on another property, a threat to public safety or noise. Your dog is not allowed to howl, bark or yelp excessively or in any manner that unreasonably interferes with the use and/or enjoyment of any property.
If any dog, while off the owner's property and whether or not on a leash, attacks a person or another animal, or chases or challenges a person, it can be deemed vicious. Dog Control/Bylaw Officers may use any legal means to capture and restrain a vicious dog.
Dogs apprehended by Lac Ste. Anne County Dog Control/Bylaw officers are taken to the County kennel facility in Darwell, at 54226 Highway 765, where they are held.

Cholesteatoma is a serious but treatable ear condition which can be diagnosed only by medical examination by a licensed otolaryngologist. A cholesteatoma usually occurs because of poor function of the Eustachian tube – the tube that conveys air from the back of the nose into the middle ear to equalize ear pressure.
When the Eustachian tube works poorly, the air in the middle ear is absorbed by the body, which creates a partial vacuum in the ear that sucks in a pouch or sac by stretching the eardrum. This is especially common in areas that are weakened by previous infections.
Cholesteatoma is easily treated – surgery is often performed under general anesthesia. The primary purpose of the surgery is to remove the cholesteatoma so that the ear will properly dry, thus eliminating the infection. In some severe cases, reconstruction may not be possible, but that has to be determined once the surgery has begun.
Symptoms of cholesteatoma include draining of foul smelling fluid from the ear; a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear; an ache behind or in the ear; and hearing loss.
Should you experience any of these symptoms, please contact Alexandria Otolaryngology Associates to schedule a consultation.

text: This final report provides the results of our audit of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Superfund Financial Activities for Fiscal Year (FY) 1992. Our audit disclosed that NIEHS generally administered the fund according to Superfund legislation with the exception that NIEHS still does not have procedures to ensure that all Superfund grantees had obtained independent audits. As a result, the National Institutes of Health and NIEHS were not aware whether audit requirements were being met. Further, they were not aware whether sanctions needed to be taken for grantees who had not submitted audit reports. We are recommending that the Public Health Service direct NIH to: (1) establish procedures to ensure that all Superfund grantees submit audit reports; and (2) sanction grantees who are unwilling to have a proper audit conducted.

CANNABIS CULTURE – In part two of a three-article series on activist and entertainer Wavy Gravy, CC presents an interview with Michelle Esrick, director of Saint Misbehavin': The Wavy Gravy Movie by writer Dale Rangzen.
Read Part 1 – "Saint Misbehavin': The Wavy Gravy Movie" and Part 3 – "From Merlin to Flesh Gordon: An Interview with Wavy Gravy" on Cannabis Culture.
Dale Rangzen: First, thanks so much for making this film. It is such an important record of Wavy Gravy's life. When did you first decide to make a movie about him?
Michelle Esrick: l couldn't believe there wasn't a film about him after I had I got to know him. I remember going to the video store to rent one and there wasn't anything in the store. I couldn't believe that everybody didn't know who he was.
DR: How did you first hear about him?
ME: I met him in 1992. A friend of mine was writing a book about the history and culture of drugs in America and so I went along for that ride. We drove cross-country and Wavy was one of the people he interviewed. When we met him, his ice cream flavor had just come out. He was reading from his book Something Good for a Change. There were six tubs of the ice cream there, and I remember having bowls and bowls of it. Then, after the reading, we took him to lunch and he really impressed me.
DR: He is such an open being. You just don't meet many people like him.
ME: He made such an impact on me and we stayed in touch after our first lunch together. Then, in 1996, my partner and I launched a line of Grateful Dead neckwear. You remember those Jerry Garcia ties?
DR: Yes, I do. I remember thinking they were pretty weird at the time.
ME: We did several big launches and press events and Wavy was the spokesperson for that line. We had asked him and he set up a scholarship fund for Camp Winnarainbow so that a percentage of all the sales went to sending kids to camp. So, this really gave Wavy the incentive to do it and the line turned out to be very, very successful. So, we ended up working on the project together for a couple of years and during this time a couple of things were going on. First, I kept hearing him tell story after story about his life and the people that he knew and it was just always so interesting. They were never ending. We spent a lot of time together and this guy's life became like a ten-part miniseries and then on another level, personally and spiritually, he was always encouraging my perception to a better place. He was humbling me because I'd always liked to think of myself as an evolved person and he would say something that would show me I had a long way to go if I wanted to think or act in certain ways. It was always like putting on a new pair of glasses every time I was with him.
DR: He always seems to endlessly positive. I wonder how he keeps it up. Does Wavy ever get blue?
ME: Wavy Gravy is human. Even though the title of the film is Saint Misbehavin', I'm not calling him a saint in the usual sense. We all have a saint in us. We call people who are loving and want to help build the world saints. Every person we've ever called a saint is a human being underneath. Wavy is very human and he's certainly about flaunting his flaws. He does a routine at the kid's camp called "brush 'em if you've got 'em" that involves telling them about when he was a poet he used to brush his teeth with Cream soda and Snickers bars. He tells the story in the dark. He makes it scary and at the end of the story he pulls out his false teeth and tells the kids if they don't brush their teeth they'll look like him! He shines the flashlight in his mouth and the kids all scream. They usually brush their teeth about four times a day after that. He's had parents calling him and asking him how he got them to brush their teeth. That's just a little example of how he uses his flaws to teach people.
DR: Wavy was telling me that you worked on this film for ten years. How did you keep your focus for that long? How did you know when it was finished?
ME: I knew it was finished when D.A. Pennebaker (legendary documentary filmmaker who made Don't Look Back featuring Bob Dylan in 1967) put his hands on my shoulders and said, "Stop editing! You're done!" When I showed him the final cut, he got teary and I got teary because my hero got teary. I did tweak a few more things, but that was it. I had never made a film before and the film came out of being completely inspired after being with Wavy. I really could see it. I could see how people would feel if I could capture his essence and put it on screen. For the first six years, I was also working as an actress, so I was doing different things creatively and then I came to a point where I realized if I didn't focus on it 100%, I would never get it done. I had the desire to let everything else go and complete it. Making a documentary film as an independent filmmaker, it's very difficult to raise the money and do the creative part. It's like you need to have two different heads. There was a lot of pressure to be worried about money and yet still have the energy to be creative at the same time. Whenever I wanted to give up because everything was too hard, I'd go back to the good feelings I'd get from Wavy and know that I had to finish it. I could never let go of it. Something would happen that would be a sign to me that it was meant to be. It could be a phone call or a donation, but some sign from the universe would come and there would just be no doubt about what I was meant to be doing. Then when I was able to put scenes together and have people see them, that gave me energy that kept building and building and building.
DR: Do you have a favourite scene in the movie? A perfect moment?
ME: I don't know if I've ever been asked that.
DR: My kids like the first scene with the Wavy Gravy mustering prayer. They love the Winnarainbow scenes, too.
ME: Wow! You're kidding. I could cry. I don't know. What I've seen is that everyone who is around Wavy goes through a perception shift. So, I realized that not everybody gets to hang out with Wavy Gravy, so I felt that I had to share him.
DR: I've had interesting experiences showing the film to people. I've shown it to some pretty hardcore left-wing intellectuals who approach it with bemusement and then part way through – they're always won over. It's quite amazing.
ME: I completely identify with that. I remember showing a rough cut in Los Angeles – a place where there can be a real wall up.
DR: With the cynical kind of vibes?
ME: There was this one very high-powered music mogul and he came in with such a wall up that you could barely say "hello" to him without being afraid. When the movie was over, a line formed to talk to me. He was in the line and I noticed the line was very long and I figured he was too cool to stay in the line. He did stay and he hugged me because he was so moved after seeing the film.
DR: His greatest skill is in breaking down people's barriers and allowing us to laugh at ourselves.
ME: He really is the way that you see him in the movie. He doesn't come home and become a different guy. The way he is is the way he is. I've been criticized for not showing the 'real Wavy' and it hurts because that really is the real Wavy. Should I have shown him having a moment of disappointment? I showed that he parks a car and puts the wheel up on the curb! (laughs) I guess I just assumed that everybody knows that we're all human. But, does he yell at his wife? No. Does he lose his temper with people? No. He feels pain, but I have to say that he transforms pretty quickly. I never heard him complain about all of his incredible back pain. In the DVD extras, there's a scene where Michael Franti gives him the Power to the Peaceful award and he was in really bad pain the day he had to come out an accept it. But, he doesn't complain. He just said, "I need to sit down" or "I can't stay too long." That blows my mind. He never complains. When a friend passes, of course he feels pain and loss. But, he'll write a haiku about them and have a moment where he'll cry. He transforms the pain. As far as answering your question, I don't know if I have a favourite scene. The journey to the East footage was amazing.
DR: It was. I'd read about that trip and to see the footage was fabulous.
ME: And we're some of the first people to see it. It was in a storage space since 1972.
DR: That's what Wavy told me.
ME: Yeah, the Hog Farmers had been paying rent on it for so long and they'd forgotten what was in there. So, I asked them for permission for all of them to let me look around in there. That was an advantage of working on the film so long – by the time I heard about the storage space, everybody pretty much knew and trusted me. There was eight hours of footage from Asia that we put down to 19 minutes. It was so hard to limit the DVD extras to 55 minutes. It could have filled three DVDs.
DR: Let's talk about the clown persona a bit and why it works. It's an interesting stance to take in today's world.
ME: Well, I have thought about this. I love Shakespeare and he has lots of fool characters in his plays. I think Wavy takes on that role.
DR: In Shakespeare, the fool has certain rights and privileges. In some ways, he is very lowly, but he has a certain kind of license to say what he thinks and not be punished for it.
ME: Yes, to me, he is that character. He is the modern day fool. Everyone in the community usually judges them. The classic fool is willing to sacrifice himself to transmit wisdom. No one likes being told what to do, but the way Wavy says things allows people to accept what he says. If I said the same thing, people would fall asleep. The king knew about the fool's power and would call for him at certain times of turmoil. Deep down the king knew about the wisdom of the fool.
DR: The reception to Saint Misbehavin' has been almost universally positive and as I said, we're a cynical culture. How do you account for this?
ME: Well, this is what I have witnessed happening with him when we were promoting the Grateful Dead wear. We could go anywhere – a Beverly Hills hotel – and people would get up and there would be at least four people who knew him as we walked through. These were big moguls. Or, we went to a benefit at Johnny Depp's Viper Room for Leonard Peltier and we didn't have tickets, but he said "don't worry, it will be great." We went there and there were three giant bouncers and I was thinking they're from a world where Wavy Gravy doesn't matter. They won't have any idea who he is. They were four hundred pounds each and seven feet tall and they cried out "Wavy!" as they opened up the velvet ropes and we walked in. Everywhere we went, people's moods shifted and I saw time and time again the effect he would have on people. So, if we can get people to watch the movie – they may not want to watch it beforehand – but once they see it, they change. I think it's because he's transmitting what we already know in our hearts. The final answer came out when I was talking to Bob Weir from the Grateful Dead about Wavy. I asked him what Wavy had taught him. Bob said, "Wavy hasn't taught me anything!" and I thought "uh oh," but then he said, "he affirms what I already know.
DR: Perfect. That's it!
ME: Weir said every time he's around Wavy, it's like he says something that aligns him and brings everything together. I think that's the answer to the question. Wavy affirms what we already know.

Yesterday my program was running fine. But when I launched it today (without changing anything) my fps was 35.4 instead of a constant 60. So when I looked at cpu usage one core was at 100%, why does my game loop suddenly starts hogging my cpu? (NOTE: I also tried another project with EXACTLY the same game loop and it does not happen)
Here is my game loop:
while(Running) { PeekMessage(&msg,NULL,0,0,PM_REMOVE); { TranslateMessage(&msg); DispatchMessage(&msg); } switch(msg.message) { case WM_QUIT: Running = false; break; case WM_INPUT: //Working on this one break; } Render(WIDTH,HEIGHT); }
Its very weird my loop suddenly started doing this. The exact same loop does not do this in another project like I said.

Freight Company Blames ATC For Taxiway Collision
The owner of two small cargo aircraft that collided at Milwaukee�s General Mitchell International Airport last Wednesday says both pilots were complying with instructions from the tower. One of the pilots was slightly injured when the Cessna 402 and Beech 99, both owned by Freight Runners Express, came together at the intersection of three taxiways just off the airport�s main runway. "Both aircraft were operating in controlled areas under explicit instructions of air traffic control," Freight Runners said in a statement quoted by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Neither pilot was notified by [air traffic control] of the impending conflict at the intersection, which would have prevented this accident." The NTSB hasn�t decided whether it will investigate. A propeller on one aircraft pierced the fuel tank of the other, causing a fire, which was doused quickly by the airport fire department. Pilot Jim Kremsreiter, who was taxiing the Cessna, told WTMJ News that he initially thought he had an engine fire. "It wasn't until I was getting off the wing of the airplane that I even realized there was another airplane there,� he told the TV station. �It was just so bright and all I could see was this fire." Kremsreiter, who�s been flying for 48 years, was uninjured. Charley Stephenson, a 37-year veteran who was taxiing the Beech, suffered minor hand, scalp and face burns.

MLB.com's Adam McCalvy spoke to Brewers GM Doug Melvin, who indicated the team is no longer interested in free agent slugger Adam Dunn. The possibility was considered when the Brewers were discussing a Mike Cameron trade with the Yankees (Corey Hart would've moved to center field). Cameron and Hart are staying put.
Another scenario, which Ken Rosenthal discussed a week ago, is trading Prince Fielder and replacing him with Dunn. McCalvy doesn't dismiss the idea outright, but notes that the Crew would be treading water in terms of lefthanded bats.
