 vow! He was by my side the entire time in Colorado, he makes sure my ice machine is always ready to go, and has religiously helped me through this preliminary (yet critical) phase of physical therapy that requires someone to move my arm for me. I wouldn’t be where I am without him.
In my Athleta bio I laid out some lofty goals for my 2012 ski season. I certainly hope my goals weren’t perceived as arrogant; I sincerely felt the goals I set were within my reach. I think that is an important thing to be mindful of when setting goals.  Looking at the goals I set for this year I believe that I could have achieved them if I’d had an entire season to prepare for the World Championships this August. But, as of now I’ll miss out on almost half of my season so my preparation time will be minimal. At this point, my original 2012 goals are set aside for another season, and my primary goal is to participate in our U.S. Nationals and the World Championships this year. I don’t have to worry about posting scores to qualify for the World Championships because my scores from last year have already qualified me in all three events in the senior (35 years+) division, and in two of the three events in the open division.
Never be afraid to reevaluate and adjust your goals. It is far more important to be honest with yourself about where you are at than to set unrealistic goals that lead to self-defeat. I am not one bit disappointed with the new goals I’ve set for myself. I love participating in the U.S. Nationals because I get to see all the members of my barefoot family from around the country. It’s always great to see how far each of them has taken their skiing and watching them achieve their own personal goals. And, simply participating in the 2012 World Championships is a huge accomplishment for me, particularly since I missed the 2010 Worlds that were held in Berlin, Germany due to my neck. I can’t wait to ski at the World Championships! Nothing makes me feel more proud than wearing red, white, and blue and representing my country at the world level. So, my goals may be significantly different than what they were earlier this year, but they are still significant.
Currently, I am taking physical therapy one step at a time. My range of motion is good, and I get out every day and walk with my three Labradors, “Dallas” (not pictured) and “Bare” & “Foot.” (Bare is chocolate, Foot is black) Dogs have an amazing way of helping you heal. It’s hard to ever be in a bad mood when you wake up every morning to three crazy mutts who are ecstatic to simply be alive! My dogs are a huge part of my therapy on a mental, spiritual, and physical level. They definitely teach me lessons about how to embrace life.
That is all for now — I’ll update you again soon!
I love that quote. I definitely needed to read this today. I’m just a week and a half out from knee surgery (ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair) and I’ve been starting to go a little stir crazy. I also realized that I’ve been focusing so much on what I can’t do right now – run, swim, surf, etc. – but not keeping my mind open to the things that I can do right now. Bouncing back is the hardest thing but you are spot on about the need to be honest with ourselves in setting realistic goals. And you know what? Those goals can always be adjusted too.
So glad to hear you so upbeat and positive! Such a great quote, one that I need to apply to myself as I’m coming back from an ankle fracture 7.5 weeks ago. Thanks for the inspiration, and many healing vibes sent your way!
Great timing on your mention of adjusting goals. I’ve been on the road more than I expected this year, and that means less time in the water. Instead of letting it frustrate me, I need to do what I can with the time I have. You’re doing great; hang in there!HomeContacting InmatesWhy Can’t I Put a Three-Way Call Through for an Inmate?
Why Can’t I Put a Three-Way Call Through for an Inmate?
Your inmate might ask you to put a telephone call of his through to another person by using the three-way system. Most cell phones and landlines are set up so that three people can converse on one phone call. Jails around the country typically don’t allow this. Here are some of the facts.
Why Do Inmates Ask about Three-Way Calls?
The three-way system allows inmates to speak to people they are not supposed to contact. Included in this group would be victims of crimes and charge partners. Some jails are set up to block an inmate from dialing restricted numbers. If he can get you to do a three-way he can get around that.
Three-way calling cheats the jail phone company out of money. The company wants each phone number that the inmate calls to have a phone account and to pay for those calls. Because of this, three-way calls are strictly prohibited in almost all cases.
What Happens if You Are Caught Making a Three-Way Call?
Almost all of the jail phone companies have software installed to detect when a three-way call is occurring.
If the software detects a three-way call, it immediately breaks into the call. A recorded voice states that a three-way call has been caught and the call is disconnected.
You are not reimbursed for the cost of the call. In some cases, there is actually no three-way call being made, but the system thinks there is and disconnects the call, which can be quite frustrating.
Avoid these words during a jail call.
Final thoughts: It can be tempting to do a three-way call for the inmate, but some jails are set up that if you are caught making attempts, your own phone number will be blocked so that the inmate cannot call you again. It’s not worth the risk.
Your inmate needs to stay connected to friends and family. While lots of information can be shared on the phone, precautions must be taken so that everyone involved can avoid having future problems.
As much as you would like to talk to your inmate each day, the cost of inmate phone calls makes this impossible for most people. If your budget can only handle a couple of calls a week, tell your inmate to call you on Thursdays and Sundays.
A model is a set of data to be manipulated by our controllers.
In our HTML we can explicitly declare a model and bind components or other html elements to a model's field.
A model for a view is created with the attribute m-model.
Here we defined or associated the model findFields with our view.
In this example the value of our component is associated to the key username of the model findFields.
If the value of the component changes the value of the key in our model is also updated, and if we change the value of our key the component is updated.
This component is associated with a key named fldUsername in our model.
The attribute m-field can also be used to bind an element to a key value (one-way binding).
You can register an observer to be notified when a key in the model is modified.
Use myModel.addObserverForKey(keyName, fnCallback, [cookie]) to register an observer and myModel.removeObserverForKey(keyName, fnCallback) to remove the observer.Kindson the Tech Pro ()

Request the Abravidro Media Kit!Hello. I don’t think it is possible to put what I have learned in the last five years at 89.1 WBOI into two and half minutes, but I’ll give it a try. Next Friday, July 15 will be my last day working at the station. When I think back to starting here as an intern in 2017, it’s been an amazing journey.
In the fall of 2016, I was a student at the University of Saint Francis in Kristin Miller’s advanced presentational speaking class. I had never tuned in to WBOI before the class took a tour of this station, but I’d had professors telling me for
