Congratulations to Beth, who went to Sweetlix for the first time today and will get her next trip on the house! Beth, I sent you an email with instructions on how to get your loot.
Thanks so everyone for entering. The owners of Sweetlix, who also own Pittsburgh Popcorn Company, have asked if I would be interested in writing a review and doing a giveaway for that store as well. And since you KNOW what my answer will be, you should stay tuned for more reviews and goodies.
In other news, I signed up for Weight Watchers Online after having a "aw HECK no" conversation with my muffintop. I did really well with day one, and only went 1 POINT over my daily allowance. Not too shabby for a newbie. So my questions to you are:
Would you be interested in reading posts here and there about my WWO experiences, if I promise to be funny and relateable (is that even a word)? Are any of my faithful readers also WW peeps? If so, leave me a comment and maybe we can be buddies.
That's all for tonight. Sleep tight, y'all.
Oh, and for the record, a Sweetlix small tart yogurt with strawberries is about 3.5 POINTS. Just sayin'.

Historic Preservation in Connecticut
Innovative Public Policy Tools
Contact: Gregory Farmer, Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation
Tel.: 203-464-7380
Email: email@example.com
New Options for Local Preservation
One of the most exciting developments in historic preservation in Connecticut in recent years has been the development of municipal preservation ordinances. These ordinances, formalized under state enabling legislation passed in 2013, offer towns and cities new powers and flexibility to protect, enhance, and build on their historic resources.
Although Connecticut has more than one hundred regulatory Local Historic Districts, they cover only a fraction—less than 25 percent—of the buildings and neighborhoods listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. That leaves thousands of other historic buildings and scores of other historic districts with no protection and no formalized means of providing technical assistance or advice to property owners making renovations or alterations.
The City of Hartford pioneered a new approach in 2006, when it adopted Connecticut's first municipal preservation ordinance. The ordinance established a formal city policy to encourage the preservation of historic resources. Under the new ordinance, the city's historic preservation commission is authorized to review and approve exterior changes or demolition of buildings listed on the State or National Register, or under consideration for listing, without requiring the establishment of a Local Historic District.
"The historic preservation ordinance has bought about a dramatic change in the culture around historic properties in Hartford," says Greg Secord, vice-chair (and former chair) of the historic preservation commission. The Hartford commission has reviewed about 4,500 applications in the last six years and has demonstrated that the preservation ordinance is compatible with economic development in the city. Mr. Secord explains: "We have worked hard to minimize delays, to be collaborative, and to encourage property owners to be in touch as they plan a project." One way has been to delegate routine matters to city staff. This allows simple projects, such as replacing a roof in like materials, to bypass the commission hearing.
One initial concern about the ordinance was that it might increase costs for property owners, but Mr. Secord reports that the issue has come up very rarely in practice. He cites the commission's willingness to work with property owners to find solutions and even to approve alternate materials such as siding or replacement windows where they don't seriously impair historic character.
Last year, New Britain approved the state's second preservation ordinance, with language almost identical to Hartford's. The historic preservation commission is still establishing its programs and procedures, but already the mayor and property owners are informally coming to the commission with questions about preservation and treatment of historic properties.
To encourage other towns and cities to adopt similar provisions, the Connecticut Trust sponsored passage of a statewide enabling act in the 2013 session of the General Assembly. The law, titled "An Act Authorizing the Establishment of Historic Preservation Commissions" (PA 13-181) is very simple. It allows municipalities to "protect the historic or architectural character of properties or districts that are listed on or under consideration for listing on, the National Register of Historic Places…or the state register of historic places."
This simple language gives towns and cities great leeway in determining how to implement a preservation commission under the new enabling law. The Connecticut Trust has drafted a model Historic Preservation Ordinance, based on the ordinances that have been successfully adopted in Hartford and New Britain.
The model ordinance provides a modest level of municipal review for properties that are listed on the State or National Register of Historic Places, but are not included in local historic districts. Within that framework, municipalities will choose different preservation strategies. Towns and cities can choose the degree of involvement that best suits them.
At the most basic level, the preservation commission can concentrate on public awareness, sponsoring events, publications, and educational opportunities about the town's history and historic resources. The commission also might help the town incorporate historic attractions and character into tourism marketing campaigns.
For a moderate degree of involvement, the commission can serve an advisory function, providing non-binding information and advice to town boards, commissions, developers, and property owners. The City of Stamford recently set up an advisory historical commission to assist city staff and local land use boards.
At the highest level, chosen in Hartford and New Britain, the commission has a regulatory function, reviewing and approving alterations to historic buildings, including demolition.
These suggestions don't rule out the possibility that local officials and citizens could add other interpretations of their own. One of the great possibilities of the enabling law is that it leaves room for innovative ideas about how best to preserve and enhance each community's own unique mix of historic resources.

Facebook is the dominant social networking platform in the number of users, but a striking number of users are now diversifying onto other platforms….Pinterest holds particular appeal to female users (women are four times as likely as men to be Pinterest users), and LinkedIn is especially popular among college graduates and internet users in higher income households. Twitter and Instagram have particular appeal to younger adults, urban dwellers, and non-whites."

Interview: Brett Joshpe, co-author of "Why You're Wrong About The Right"
A new book has been released called Why You're Wrong About The Right, written by S.E. Cupp and Brett Joshpe. I interviewed both of them for this blog, and have decided to split those two interviews into two posts. The last one, with Cupp, was published yesterday. If you like what you read, go buy their book on Amazon.
Tell us a little about the book.
We identify 20 common stereotypes often associated with conservatives and Republicans, discuss their origins and refute them. We make our arguments through our voices and through the contributions of several dozen well-known public figures ranging from academics to athletes to celebrities to politicians. In the course of explaining what conservatives and Republicans are not, we also try to identify some of the common themes that unite us.
What inspired you two to write "Why You're Wrong About The Right?"
I'd say it was a combination of experiences that was particularly prevalent during college and law school. The visceral left-wing, anti-Americanism, from students AND professors alike, in higher education has probably contributed more to my desire to work on this project than anything else. In addition, because of 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, these sentiments have been especially visible.
Do you think conservatives have been badly represented?
Badly represented by our own people or by those who portray us? I think there are many Republicans in Congress in recent years who have damaged the Party through scandals and wasteful spending. I think President Bush, who I support, has nonetheless alienated some people from the Party. There are also some spokespeople for the Party who I'm sure would have more appeal if they presented their message differently, but they are there to entertain more than anything and people should not take them too seriously. In terms of those who portray us, the stereotypes persist for a reason. The media, Hollywood, academia (frequent sources of our information) often paint a very unflattering picture.
Where do you think the stereotypes of conservatives originate from?
Again, Hollywood, media and academia do a nice job of putting forth some erroneous myths, as well as many of the left-wing politicians who speak in 10 second sound bites and say things like, "Republicans just want to line the pockets of the rich." They are simple, conclusory statements that lack evidence but have an effect because people hear them so much they start to believe them.
With such negative images of conservatism in the media, what then leads so many to drift towards the right?
Intuition and common sense. I think most Americans are a lot smarter than many of the coastal, media elites assume. Just because the biggest newspaper, The New York Times, says something does not mean people are going to accept it as true or representative of their point of view. To some extent, the media, Hollywood and academia are so out of touch with average Americans that it helps the conservative movement and fosters a back-lash with many people.
Journalist Bill Bishop has said that Americans have clustered into regions of people that all for the most part share their worldview. Do you see this as a problem? If so, how should we solve it?
I don't view it as a problem. Yes, American cities tend to be more liberal and rural areas tend to be more conservative. That is not a new phenomenon. Naturally, cities are comprised of renters and tenants, whereas rural and suburban areas are comprised of owners, which is one of the many factors that leads to this dichotomy. There is also plenty of diversity. I'm a New Yorker, but I don't agree with the worldview of most of the people around me. It would be a problem if we didn't have an electoral college system, but because we do, and not a popular vote system, it ensures that all regions of the country (particularly smaller states and swing states) are adequately represented and heard. Furthermore, to the extent certain regions of the country are comprised of people with similar worldviews, there is nothing wrong with that. It is part of the American dream that if one wants to settle down in an area that doesn't resemble New York or San Francisco, that is part of their prerogative.
How do we think we can better expose younger students to conservative and libertarian ideas?
More conservative academics would be helpful. To that goal, conservatives should go back and re-read William F. Buckley's "God and Man at Yale." That seminal piece was fundamentally about how conservative alumni of higher education need to use their influence to insist and pressure college administrations to hire a more balanced intellectual faculty. I think if younger students are presented all ideas, not just conservative or liberal ideas, in time there will be a greater gravitation towards conservatism at a younger age, but right now, they are mostly just fed unrealistic, ivory tower bunk. Also, and perhaps most importantly, conservatives and the Republican Party need to start branding to America's youth. That is part of what my co-author and I are trying to accomplish through this book. Democrats have done a much better job of marketing to the youth demographic thus far and that needs to change.
What's some advice you have for conservatives living in liberal areas?
Speak up and don't be intimidated. Embrace your status. Remind the liberals around you that intelligent, thoughtful, tolerant people might not agree with them. And go find fellow conservatives. They are out there.
What criticism has your book been met with?
We have received some humorously intolerant criticisms from people on the Left…things like "you guys are morons, how did you get to write a book?" Most of the criticisms have been completely mindless and ad hominem.
What praise has it been met with?
People, both on the Left and Right, have said that the book is fair and the tone is humorous and irreverent without being obnoxious or disrespectful. People have also said that the book paints a picture of conservatism and the Republican Party that is needed right now and is often lost in the popular depiction. Some of my liberal friends have given it the highest compliment of all: "persuasive".
How should conservatives deal with a possible Barack Obama presidency?
First and foremost, we should not concede a Barack Obama presidency yet. I still believe John McCain will win, but it is important for conservatives to "get onboard" the McCain candidacy and to work hard to convince people that he is a better candidate than Barack Obama. Conservatives needs to educate people as to what a Barack Obama candidacy would mean politically. It is not necessary to engage in unfair, personal attacks, because Obama's political record speaks for itself. He is a far Left candidate whose only record of embracing moderate, bi-partisan politics can be found in his recent policy shifts to appear centrist to general election voters. That is isn't hyperbole or fear-mongering. It is a fact, and it needs to be repeated.

Why Law of Attraction Fails And What You Can Do About It
Why law of attraction fails – Have you ever tried using law of attraction and it failed? You watched the movies, read the books and put into practice law of attraction to manifest something in your life that you desired and it did not work. You swear you are using law of attraction right, at least you thought you were.
The problem is most people still do not get how to use law of attraction properly. Therefore getting no results and then go around stating that law attraction doesn't work, it's fake…all a scam.
What most people do is they think about what they do not want without realizing it. One of our popular posts on this website is how to get your ex back with law of attraction. Most of the comments and many of the emails I received asking for help tell me that people are using law of attraction completely wrong.
If you go read some of the comments on my other post you can see people are thinking about exactly what they don't want. For example, my boyfriend is now with someone else, I can see he is happy, he has moved on, this isn't working.
I can't see how this will ever work, they are with someone else new now…. And so on. I can tell by these statements the most people are doing exactly what they should not be doing for law of attraction to work.
You get what you think about. Read that statement several times. You get and attract into your life what the majority of your thoughts are on. When I hear statements like I see my boyfriend with someone else, he's so happy now, they look like a good couple, what can I do, I miss him so much…
They are thinking about what they are missing, what they are lacking, what they do not want to attract into their life and focusing on all the wrong things that are just going to bring them more of the same because that's what they are thinking about most of the time.
If you are trying to attract an ex back into your life using law of attraction you should not worry about them being with another person, what they are doing, what's on their Facebook page, whether they look happy or not without you…. how can we get back together…how can this ever work?
I will say it again, you get what you think about if you're thinking about thoughts like the above paragraph that's all you're going to attract more of into your life whether you want it or not. You cannot attract what you want into your life by thinking about what you do not want, the universe knows no difference and will give you what you are picturing in your mind.
By holding thoughts and pictures in your mind you are telling the universe exactly what you desire in your life. If you are thinking about your ex with another person basically you are telling the universe by thoughts and pictures this is what you want.
To make law of attraction work you must think thoughts and hold pictures in your mind of exactly what you do want and nothing else. If you want your ex back you must hold pictures in your mind, think thoughts and get into feelings of already being back together with your ex.
Then you are telling the universe by thoughts and pictures this is what I want, and then and only then law of attraction will work for you. Do not worry about the how that is not your job, it will happen in its own most efficient way. Many times in ways we would never expect.
Law of attraction works and that has been proven many times. Learn how to use it properly and your life will never be the same. One of my favorite sayings is from Henry Ford –
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't–you're right."
I hope that helps some of you get a better concept of how law of attraction works or better yet why law of attraction fails. If you have any questions or comments leave them below.

7 Responses to Why Law of Attraction Fails And What You Can Do About It
Guys please atleast replied to out comments anyway my man emailed me and I know more is coming my my Loa really works ☺
But how am I supposed to detach myself from what i want when i have to think about what i want and how I want my ex back it just doesn't make sense
Perhaps try doing fun things that you enjoy and make yourself happy like hobbies, going cinema
And spending time with positive peoples. I've found it really helpful reading the secret stories as they're inspirational and positive and often people are in the same position as you.
So jah Smith now exists.
I laughed alone…most of things we think about come to life…so my question how to act when people ask I you are ohk,are you over him blah blah.Is it also ohk to use law of attraction while you are in pain a bit always at night????
What if I want to use law of attraction then people ask me if I'm still over him or I miss him.What if they tell me to forget about him.How do I react to such acts.People who are asking if I'm ohk.Because I'm already having thoughts we didn't break up.It's true,we lost communication and he is ignoring me or has a problem with communication.I don't know.I want to use law of attrations and not worry much about getting a heartbreak.My heart is in pain.
This law works alot.I use to pre ten all my life like I have people taking to me as if I'm acting.Gosh the is this guy who is called Smith Smith Smith pretend to be talking to white guy called Smith.
Question…i, like a lot of ppl love my ex dearly…in my opinion she is the greatest woman to walk the planet. Now MOST hours on most days i am confident but some days when projecting loving thoughts i break and there are tears and unbelief for 15 mins. So…do those 15 minutes effectively kill the dream? Am i back to square one?
Hi Mike,
Great post! I did comment on the other posts a few months ago regarding a guy is like to attract back after briefly dating 2 years ago. He isn't physically back yet, but I have been seeing his surname and the number 11 quite often (not necessarily in the time of day either). I have taken these as positive signs that what I am doing is working! I've stopped visualizing as it has begun to feel like a chore and instead, I'm living my life! I think about my guy during the day, but positive bought a only!
I truly believe my guy is on his way! Thank you for such uplifting posts 🙂

Keeping Your Weight Down During The Holiday Season
How to keep up with the holidays while keeping the winter pounds down.
When it comes to the holidays, it seems that the entire month of festivities, parties and events seem to surround themselves around winter treats and eats. Kicking off with the mother of food holidays, Thanksgiving, all the way until New Years Eve, we are constantly presented with holiday cookies, cakes, jams, pies, roasts, potatoes, candy, and any other kind of festive food that you could possibly dream up. And while the food is definitely one of the best parts of the holiday season, it always seems to leave us all struggling to fit into our trousers come mid-January.
While indulging in a little bit of our favorite holiday treats is fine, no one wants to end their holiday season feeling like Santa Claus himself with all of the holiday cookies that they consumed. Not only is this not the best for your health, but it can leave you resenting the holidays and regretting your actions. (There is a reason why fitness is usually at the top of everyone's New Year's resolutions.)
Luckily, to help you get through the holidays without having to move up a dress size, we have come up with some tired-and-true holiday tricks for keeping your weight down during the festive season.
Say No To Encouraging Eaters
At every holiday party, there is always that one uncle or cousin that doesn't want to be the only one helping themselves to seconds and thirds of holiday pie, so they encourage everyone around them to dig in as well―usually with so much enthusiasm and insistence that you eventually fill up your plate again just to get them to stop pestering you. However, don't get talked into eating anything that you don't want to! Stick to your position and just continue to say "no, thank you" until they finally get the hint. You will be grateful that you did at the end of the evening when they are still recovering on the couch.
Fill Up Your Own Plate
While you may not have full control of portion sizes when you are going out to eat at a restaurant of a formal occasion, you can certainly offer to help plate dinner when it comes to family parties or events at friend's houses. Doing so not only helps you avoid any decadent dishes that do not fall under the healthy eating category, but also helps you to mind your own portions. You would be surprised just how much food a hostess will pile on your plate, even after telling them you're trying to eat healthy, simply because they don't know proper portion sizes.
Don't Beat Yourself Up For Eating Bad Food
Every person who has ever been determined to start eating more healthy, especially during the holiday season, has slipped up at one point or another. The key is to not beat yourself up about it or let it get you down if you have done so. Each day is a new day, and you can always start fresh the following morning. Do not let all of your hard work go to waste or give up on your health plans simply because you ate one holiday cookie. Just tell yourself you will be extra good tomorrow with your food choices!
Do you have any fail-proof healthy eating tips for the holiday season? How do you survive parties full of your favorite "cheat foods?" Let us know in the comments below!

Soul Dare: Day Six
Bible Time
Genesis 11-12, Psalm 4 and Matthew 4
Today we pick up where we left off yesterday keenly aware of the human condition of frailty and failings. It's no surprise that after a few years from the Great Flood and several rainstorms and rainbow later, that mankind wants to once again assert control and replace God's sovereignty. Thus we find ourselves at the Tower of Babel:
Genesis 11:4 - "This will make us famous and keep us from being scattered all over the world." (NLT)
Genesis 12:6 - "And the LORD said, 'Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.'" (KJV)
I honestly never really understood this story before. The NLT actually says, "after this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them." That word "impossible" always threw me because at first glance it looks like God is saying if that tower gets built, then they will have achieved God-status and they won't need Him anymore. However, knowing that God is omnipotent (all-powerful), I knew that He was not truly worried they would match His power.
So, what does it all mean? Today, I turned to a commentary for a bit of help and hear is what Matthew Henry had to say:
"God's purpose was, that mankind should form many nations, and people all lands."
So, the problem wasn't that God was worried that humanity might actually achieve diety-status. He was troubled by their motivation and their lack of obedience. Because what command has God given repeatedly over the past few days of scripture reading?"
"Be fruitful and multiply."
Rather than spread out over the earth and have lots of children and build up clans and tribes, the people wanted to remain together in one place and form some sort of inbred collective.
And because they disobeyed and showed a strong aptitude to keep doing so, God "confused their language" and made it frustrating, impractical if not impossible to continue their cause.
Very interesting and intriguing for sure. So I closed Genesis and moved on to Psalm 4 and this verse was the one that caught my attention:
Psalm 4:5 - "Offer sacrifices in the right spirit, and trust God."
Not especially "on point" but a good verse for me to mull over and memorize for today. And with that, I thumbed over to Matthew 4:
Matthew 4:1-11 - I find it very interesting that I am reading about Jesus fasting for 40 days and nights (wow!) when I just embarked upon a period of fasting myself. Of course, this caused me to read this passage a bit more closely.
As I read, I can't help but notice that Satan does everything he can think of to get Jesus to assert His power and control -- which is pretty much the polar opposite of fasting, a discipline where we give over our control to God. It is something for me to consider as I walk through these next 20 days.
In what areas might Satan encourage me to assert control or a sense of power?
The reading for Jesus Calling was once again spot on. The portion that grabbed my attention the most was:
After reading about Jesus being tempted during His time of fasting, the idea of waiting upon God in the dark place of our fear and confusion was comforting.
"Time is a trainer, teaching you to wait upon Me, to trust Me in the dark."
After reading about Jesus being tempted during His time of fasting, the idea of waiting upon God in the dark place of our fear and confusion was comforting.
"If you hoard a thing for yourself, it will turn into spiritual dry rot, as the manna did when it was hoarded, God will never let you hold as spiritual thing for yourself; it has to be given back to Him that He may make it a blessing to others."
Once again, this immediately brought to mind God's exhortation to "be fruitful and multiply." Because nothing we have been given or allowed to keep belongs to us for the sole purpose of ownership. We are meant to share it and thus see it given out yet to others. That's His heart.
The second thing I read took awhile to sink in:
"Bethel is the symbol of communion with God; Ai is the symbol of the world. Abraham pitched his tent between the two."
Hmm...that sounded familiar. I looked at the top of the reading and saw that the reference was from Genesis 12:8 -- from today's assigned scripture reading!!!!! So, of course, I went back to Genesis and read that passage again (I completely glossed over it the first time).
"Abram traveled south and set up camp in the hill country, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built another altar and dedicated it to the LORD, and he worshiped the LORD."
Here is what else Oswald Chambers had to say about the location of where Abraham set up his altar for worship:
"The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with Him. Rush is wrong every time, there is always plenty of time to worship God. Quiet days with God many be a snare. We have to pitch our tents where we shall always have quite times with God, however, noisy our times with the world may be."
After I finished My Utmost for His Highest, having gone back to where I started at Genesis 12. By now, I was shaking my head in wonderment at God's ability to put everything together. I couldn't have scripted it better if I had tried.
Even Psalm 4:5's encouragement to, "Offer sacrifices in the right spirit, and trust God,"seemed to fit in perfectly with the concept of Attitude and Perspective being more important than Location.
As I move through these days of fasting and this month of Soul Dare every day won't be as quiet and uncluttered as that last few have been. We are jumping into our full crazy Spring schedule next week and I have been a bit apprehensive as to how it all will work. After all, I have gotten better, but I don't know if I can carve out 2 plus hours for my quiet time and blogging each morning.
But my job is not to worry. It's to pitch my tent of worship between perfect communion and total chaotic world immersion. There is a balance point in between.

A new video from Nerdwriter1 explores how that psychology is manipulated in one of the film's ("The Master")most memorable scenes: the initial audit between Philip Seymour Hoffman's Lancaster Dodd and Joaquin Phoenix's Freddie Quell.
Dodd's questions are drawn almost directly from the Church's own Oxford Capacity Analysis, which bears no affiliation with the actual Oxford University. The scene grows more intense as Quell is forced to repeat his own name and asked the same question over and over, eventually falling into a kind of hypnosis.
This hypnosis as well as the stress of not being allowed to blink compel him to reveal past traumas, like murder, incest, and a troubled childhood. And so while the film's concerns are larger than one cult,
Nerdwriter1's point is that the auditing scene accurately portrays the way Hubbard commingled classic psychotherapy with command hypnosis to create an unscrupulous but powerful mastery over his church practitioners

There seems to be tremendous interest right now in the health effects of sugar in our diets. Many people say that it is sugar, rather than fat, that is leading people to be overweight. Documentaries like "Fed Up" talk about both the addictive nature of sugar and how the idea of "eating better and exercising more" makes little sense when the environment makes it practically impossible to eliminate sugar additives from your diet in the first place. No matter how hard you try, the deck is simply stacked against you, so the thinking goes. So 21 days ago I set ...
A runner named Gina writes in with a very common question that has to do with pacing in the longest runs in a marathon training plan. Here's the question and my answer:
I think I'm running too fast on my shorter training runs and I don't know a) if that's a problem and b) how to force myself to slow down. According to the McMillan running calculator my tempo runs shouldn't be faster than an 8:38 and my easy runs should be between 9:36 and 10:06. I pretty much have to force myself to stay at a 9-minute mile for the majority of my runs–even those that get near 11-12 miles. When I run a 10-minute mile I feel like I'm going backwards. Part of this is definitely that I'm pressed for time and part of it is that I just like to run fast (a relative term, but fast for me!).
In fact, many running plans suggest that their runners slow down between 1 to 2 minutes per mile when they doing their longer/slower runs. These runs are usually called the "long/slow distance runs" and this pace may also be used in other "recovery" runs. The idea here is three fold:
1) To maximize the amount of time that you spend out on your runs — because if you can slow the runner down and make what would be a 2 1/2 hour run last 3 hours that's 30 more minutes logged on the feet. This means that on race day, you will have run closer to the amount of time that you'll be expecting to run in the race, but with less effort.

Welcome back runners. Now, it's time to get into a topic that doesn't apply to all runners — but certainly will apply to all of you. You may have experimented with run/walk or walk/run — adding intervals of walking or running into your routine. Our topic today is when it makes more sense to run/walk, walk/run or just run or walk.
On this week's episode:
– What is run/walk and walk/run?
– When does it make sense to add a walk interval into your running?
– When is it more effective to walk or run without the intervals?
– How should you pick the correct intervals of running and walking?

At the end of those vacations, something strange seems to have taken place. Not only have I not run more than normal or hit those doubles, but I seem to have done even less than I normally do. In fact, it feels like vacation is the worst of times for this runner, rather than the best. So what gives?
Vacation should mean plenty of time, lots of sleep, excellent nutrition and new places to run. But just the opposite seems to be the case. Vacation brings rich food, lots of alcohol, a very different schedule and vacation activities that take up lots of time and energy. Have you ever run AFTER going to Disneyland, just for example. I just recently took a weekend vacation where I ate twice as much as I normally would, slept twice as much, drank twice as much and didn't managed to run at all.
Perhaps the most difficult thing about vacation for me as a runner is that I'm out of my routine. I can somehow manage business travel, but vacation travel is a whole different ball-game. Gone is the schedule in which my runs inhabit a fixed location. Gone are the places that I normally run. Gone is the track where I do my speed work. It's all thrown up in the air and by the end of the weekend, or week, or however log, I've logged less miles and less quality than I normally would have.

Alright marathon runners, it's time to get serious about our pacing. It's been awhile since we've discussed pacing and this time we're going to look at how close is close enough when it comes to workouts and race pace.
The great rock band Boston once sang a song called "More than a Feeling" and we ask, when does pacing turn into something more than just a feeling and to ultimate precision.
On this week's episode, Coaches Joe and Dean spend our 10 minutes discussing:
— How close is close enough when it comes to pacing?
— Is it better to be too fast or too slow in our workouts?
— What will precision pacing gain you in your next marathon?
— What level of runners are we talking about when it comes to seeking out precision in their workouts?

Running Advice and News
I am two months away from my first marathon – and I feel like I am becoming a worse runner. My runs are becoming more difficult, even in the beginning. The first 4 miles feels like torture. Its ruining my confidence. Is there anything I can do to loosen up my legs prior to a long run?
The first thing to keep in mind Jessica is that late in the season runners often begin to struggle. This is due to the fact that your training is cumulative in nature. You've likely been training consistently for a number of weeks or months and your body hasn't had a chance to recover from those workouts completely. This is the nature of training: we place the body under stress and the body reacts to that stress by growing and adapting to the physical load being placed upon it. However, it takes awhile for this adaptation to happen. So while the workouts are complete, the process of adapting to them goes on long afterward. In this time, you are continuing to train and this is the source of much of the fatigue.
The second thing to keep in mind is that it can take as much as two to three weeks or more to see the benefit of any one particular run. As your long run distances have been increasing, again, you've continued to train and your body is racing to recover and adapt to the workouts. It's in this recovery and adaptation period that you're feeling fatigued and tired, which makes you feel like your going backwards in your training, rather than forward.
Another thing that you mention is the fact that it seems to be taking longer to warm-up at the start of runs. Again, this is normal as the season progresses. It isn't uncommon to take 10 miles to really loosen up when your long runs get really long. This is in part due to the fatigue that we've already talked about, but it is also part of the adaptation itself. You're training yourself to go longer, so the body takes a bit long to get all of its processes spun up during a long workout.

"During a lot of my long runs, my fellow runners rarely warm up. Most of the time the attitude is, we will get warmed up while running and that warm up is only required on race day. I understand that warming up is important while doing intense training runs, like intervals or hills. But if I'm doing a long run, or an easy run, how important is warming up?"
First, let's just get this out there. Warming up is absolutely essential and should be a part of every workout. And your friends know this, don't they? As you say, they feel that warming up is "required on race day". If something is required on race day, why wouldn't it be required during a regular workout? Just the opposite is true. Warming up is a critical part of the start-up process of the body, both mentally and physically. We're just like cars. Ask any mechanic and they'll tell you that you should let your car warm-up for 30 seconds before driving off. This allows the oil to get out of the oil pan and the engine to warm-up. Unfortunately, we never do this warm-up either, do we? Maybe on a really cold morning or … before a big race?
Warming up has two components — mental and physical ones. On the physical side, the warm-up raises your heart rate and breathing. It starts increasing the blood flow to the muscles. It allows the muscles themselves to warm and stretch. It starts hormonal changes that will allow you to produce energy in your muscles. On the mental side, the warm-up is the time in which you set your focus on the important parts of the workout — its the time when you think through the workout and get set to do what you need to do.

Some people may interpret this message as being aimed primarily for runners that are new to marathon running. That's not the case at all. Even pacing is for all runners, even at the most elite levels. One of the points that we've often brought out is that when an elite runner records a negative split (running the second half faster than the first), they do it by running the bulk of the race, perhaps the first 23 or 24 miles, at the same pace and then picking it up just in the closing 2 or 3 miles of the race.
Even pacing means two different things. First, it means understanding your pace capability for a particular distance. Second, it means avoiding going out too fast for your capabilities in the early miles under the pressure of competition.

Workout: 10x800M at Marathon Hour/Minute Pace (AKA Yasso 800s)
Workout Summary: When I first heard about the Yasso 800 a long time ago and I remember my first thought: "geez, that's really easy to remember!" and so it is. Bart Yasso of Runner's World, in a 2001 article authored by colleague Amby Burfoot, set out a simple workout that goes like this: run 800 meters (two laps on your track) in the time of your marathon goal in hours and minutes (e.g. 3:00:00 = 3:00) — if you could work up to about 10 of these, then you're ready to handle that pace for the marathon.
So what this meant was that if you were trying to run a marathon in 4 hours and 15 minutes, then you would run your 800 meter intervals (about 1/2 mile) in 4 minutes and 15 seconds each. If you could sustain that for five miles (10 x 800M) then you probably had the speed base to handle that pace in the marathon. Of course, you still need to do the long training to build your overall endurance, but this would be a predictor to see that you had the cardio-vascular efficiency to support that marathon pace. It sounds so simple, but there's more here than meets the eye. Read on to understand how this workout really works.

Jon takes the reader by the hand to follow him down a path of examining where God is already at work in our lives demonstrating His incredible grace. Clearly this is a book written by someone who has not just studied the theology of grace but whose personal life story as well as vast experience in counseling and pastoral ministries has given birth to a rich and practical understanding of what it means to resist and accept God's gift of grace at every stage of one's journey. Resisting Grace is less about 'getting' grace and more about opening one's eyes to God's loving pursuit of us in places of denial to brokenness to total surrender. In finishing the last pages of the book, my heart swelled with praise to my God who indeed pours out His love and grace even in my resistance often times against the precious gift of Himself.

There comes a sobering moment in every man's existence when he realizes that he's already seen the best life has to offer, and that everything from this point on is a long, dark slide into the cold ground.
That time has arrived for me. I'm buying a van.
Plymouth Voyager, Toyota Previa, Dodge Caravan . . . what difference does it make? My life is over.
Four-speed overdrive transmission, 3.0-liter V6 engine, wood-grain side panels, extended luggage rack . . . so what?
What did the author William Styron call the gloom that came to envelope him? A veil of darkness descending slowly? Yes, I can see how that would fit. There is an ineffable sadness associated with the sight of a man in a van.

Registrar's Welcome
Thank you for your interest in Saint Felix School. Whether you are looking to join us from abroad or from a local UK school, transition can always be challenging.
Every family is different, so whatever your circumstances, background or motivation for exploring a Saint Felix School education it is paramount that you feel supported every step of the way.
Our Nursery welcomes children from the term they turn 3 years old and the Pre-Prep, Prep and Senior Departments welcomes applications throughout the year for all year groups; from Reception to Year 12. Entry is dependent on availability and, because we recognise that family circumstances and commitments do not always fit into the school year, we welcome applications throughout the year.
The best way to experience Saint Felix is to visit us either at one of our Open Morning events or by an individual appointment at a time to suit you. Whilst our website and prospectus capture the essence of Saint Felix very well it is not until you walk through our doors and you meet our staff and pupils that the School comes alive.
I understand how important it is that you make the right choice for your family and it is my job to help you do just that. Please do not hesitate to get in touch and I will be delighted to help.
I look forward to welcoming you to Saint Felix School in the near future.
With best wishes
Mrs Deryn Colville

The challenge in business to keep up with changes and awards can be particularly problematic.
Many business owners don't have a full understanding of what awards apply to their staff and even less of an idea of what obligations those awards contain. This occurs because in reality business owners are busy trying to run their business and do not have the time to become experts in industrial relations.
One of the common questions we are asked is:
"can I pay my staff member a lump sum amount that will cover off my obligations under the Award?"
The simple answer is 'yes' and there are three principal methods for doing this under the Fair Work Act (the Act):
Enterprise Agreement (EA): An EA is the easiest way to simplify your employment arrangements and make sure that they comply with the obligations under awards and the Act. EAs allow employers and employees to negotiate directly to come up with an agreement which will entirely replace the award in its effect. For a medium to large enterprise, it is an excellent way of ensuring that you are not leaving any contingent liabilities (in the form of underpayment of wages claims) on your balance sheet.
Individual Flexibility Arrangement (IFA): IFA's are individual arrangements that vary the award. Currently, the variations may only be limited to a certain number of items although this is likely to change. Further, it is not scrutinised by a third party, which can lead to errors, but also makes the process easier. Finally, employees or the employer can terminate the agreements within the required notice period (which the new Federal Government is looking to extend out to 90 days).
Common Law Contracts: Since the early 70's, following a line of cases, employers have been entitled to offset their additional obligations under an award for over award payments made to the employee. Generally, it requires the insertion of a particular term within your contract that sets out clearly what clauses the award is intended to cover by making lump sum payments.
There are a range of options employers can chose from to pay their staff above the award and do so in a way that successfully excludes or reduces the effect of the award from that point. However, the key is making sure that you are providing sufficient remuneration to them such that it would outweigh their entitlements under the award.

Pearl Jam and Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron has revealed the track list for his forthcoming debut solo album, Cavedweller. The LP spans nine tracks, and includes the previously released single "Time Can't Wait."
"I've been writing my own songs since I was 17-years-old. I always enjoyed playing guitar and trying to cultivate my voice as a songwriter," Cameron says in a statement. "However, I've been lucky to play in bands with the best singers and lyricists of my generation. My voice was never necessarily needed in them."
"With this album, I wanted to really make my vocals and guitar playing come through," he adds. "It's almost like I tried to start a solo career 30 years ago, and I'm just now getting back to it."
To record Cavedweller, Cameron recruited drummer Mark Giuliana and bassist Tim Lefebvre, both of whom played on David Bowie's final album, Blackstar. Frequent Queens of the Stone Age collaborator Alain Johannes also plays guitar on Cavedweller.
Cavedweller will be released September 22. Here's the track list:
"Time Can't Wait"
"All at Once"
"Through the Ceiling"
"One Special Lady"
"In the Trees"
"Into the Fire"
"Real and Imagined"

February at the ICE Krakow construction site
The ICE Krakow under construction at Rondo Grunwaldzkie is generating more and more interest among citizens and tourists. No wonder: the building is growing impressively quickly.
Throughout February, construction works on the reinforced concrete structures above the "0" level were carried out in all segments of the facility. In the back-up rooms segment and in the Large Hall, walls, pillars, beams and ceilings were constructed up to and above level +3. At the same time, the steel structure in the back-up rooms segment is under construction above level +3 and the installation of the steel structure between the Large Hall and the Auditorium is under way.
In the Auditorium, walls and reinforced concrete plate structures were constructed up to level +2. In the Foyer, external walls and staircases up to level +3 are ready; the steel structure for this segment was also installed (levels from 0 to +3). The work is in full swing in the garages as well: the walls are under construction at level -1, and electrical systems are being installed at levels -1 and -2.

Company History
American Tanning and Leather LLC can trace its roots to the north Georgia mountain town of Blairsville where in 1923 the late A.J. (Jake) Plott began buying various raw hides, furs, and skins from local trappers and hunters. He served as a collection agent for New York and St Louis receiving houses.
At the conclusion of World War II, his son, the late Q.C. (Quince) Plott, joined him and continued this tradition expanding the collecting areas and including raw alligator skins to the companys line. Chris grew up working in the company and after his military service joined his father and grandfather in 1969. In 1976 the business was moved to Griffin to take advantage of a large warehouse facility that once served as the tannery. There they toiled many long hours and the company prospered.
By 1980, it became increasingly evident that the fur skin business was changing. Efforts by animal rights activist groups had successfully dampened the demand for traditional fur apparel. At the same time, however, there was a growing trend toward other upscale skins, particularly reptile skins. In addition, successful alligator conservation and farming programs in both Florida and Louisiana resulted in an increased supply of raw skins. It was then in 1980, that Chris organized AMERICAN TANNING & LEATHER and began the challenging task of tanning and finishing American alligator skins.
In 2002, American Tanning and Leather LLC, again, took a huge leap into the new millennium by investing over 2 million dollars into the renovation of a 65,000 square foot tannery. The business also expanded to its fourth generation as Chris and Connie Plott's children, joined the company. Damon manages the wet-end production and raw skin purchasing. Chandler oversees all dyeing and finishing operations, and Christy serves as the company's global sales and marketing liaison.
Over the last twenty-seven years, tremendous time, money, and effort have been invested in perfecting the difficult process of tanning reptile skins. The proprietary processes used currently are the result of many years of experience and the input of tanning experts from all over the world. In recent years, ATL has leveraged its experience with alligator tanning to process python, caiman, lizard, and ostrich skins, as well. Today, ATL enjoys a worldwide reputation for producing a top quality product.

text: News release, Office of the Governor, Frankfort, April 22, 2013Kentucky State Government, First Lady Celebrate Earth Day with Educational Exhibits, Schools Recognition Event Frankfort, Ky. – On the nation's 43rd annual Earth Day, the Office of the First Lady, the Energy and Environment Cabinet and the Kentucky Environmental Education Council teamed up today to celebrate by highlighting efforts within Kentucky to educate students and citizens about the environment and the value of energy efficiency. State employees and the public toured the "green" Capitol Education Center in Frankfort; browsed educational booths hosted by numerous state agencies and partners; and recognized schools who focus on energy efficiency. Originally used as a space to house heating and cooling equipment, the Capitol Education Center has been completely repurposed and "recycled" as a modern learning facility for students and visitors. It is outfitted with a range of interactive and multimedia exhibits to educate visitors about sustainability, geography, tourism and government in Kentucky. The building also features a "green" design that incorporates solar panels, a wind turbine, recycled denim insulation and a rooftop garden. "This celebration gave the public an opportunity to learn about state government agencies and the role they play in protecting our environment, as well as showcasing Kentucky schools and districts that have made energy efficiency a priority," said First Lady Jane Beshear. Schools and districts honored at the event included: •The state's 200th ENERGY STAR School is Caneyville Elementary in Grayson County. Energy Star designation recognizes schools for their efforts to lower energy costs by improving efficiencies in their buildings. Kenton County Schools and Scott County Schools were honored for being named 2013 ENERGY STAR Partners of the Year by the Environmental Protection Agency. •Kentucky's 2013 Green Ribbon Schools include Locust Trace Agri-Science Farm in Fayette County; Cane Run Elementary in Jefferson County; and, Northern Elementary in Scott County. The Green Ribbon Schools program of the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) recognizes the highest performing green and healthy schools in the nation. •Kentucky's 2013 Green & Healthy Schools (KGHS) include Pikeville High School and West Hardin Middle School. KGHS is a project-based and student-centered program that empowers students and staff to move their school toward becoming safer, healthier, and more environmentally sustainable. Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Len Peters announced the winner of the cabinet's third annual "Capture the Earth" middle school photography contest. Andrea Flatt, 14, of Cumberland County Middle School, won with her close-up photo of a snail on a leaf. Secretary Peters and Department of Parks Commissioner Elaine Walker presented her a gift card to use at a Kentucky State Resort Park of her choice. You can view Andrea's photo online at http://eec.ky.gov/Pages/earthday.aspx. Secretary Peters also presented the Secretary's Young Environmentalist Award to Ben Swanson, a junior at Fayette County's Henry Clay High School, for his volunteer work at the Nature Conservancy's Jim Beam Nature Preserve in Jessamine and Garrard counties. "It is a joy to honor and encourage our state's youth in all of their environmental stewardship efforts," said Secretary Peters. "Andrea and Ben demonstrate two of the many ways to be stewards of our environment, whether it is working hard to build trails on a nature preserve or capturing nature through the lens of a camera for others to enjoy." Other displays at the Earth Day event included the University of Kentucky's solar-powered car and the Division for Air Quality's new Chevy Volts.

Are you in search for a way to make your next vacation more special for your family? It's always a great feeling to bond with the most special people in your life. And since you do not get to spend every day with them in an exotic destination, you will want to make the best out of every opportunity. This is why you may want to rent a Pagani for your next trip. This luxury car will instantly increase the overall excitement of your next adventure.
While being relatively new compared to other luxury car manufacturers, Pagani doesn't lag behind in terms of performance, design, and innovation. In fact, they take pride in offering top-notch features for all of their car models.
Horacio Pagani is the brain behind the company. At an early age, he found his passion in supercars. In 1983, he moved to Italy in an attempt to fulfill his lifelong dream of building his very own sports car.
The successful collaboration with Lamborghini enabled him to produce the Countach Evoluzione. That marked the beginning of Horacio's success. He then went on to design the Zonda C12, which continues to be one of the best sports cars today.
If you haven't looked into this luxury car brand in the past, now is a good time to know more about it. The vision of the company is to redefine style, comfort, and luxury will stop these are the three core elements that Pagani believes must be present in all exotic vehicles.
They utilize the latest in car technology to produce sports cars that provide unparalleled driving experience to all users, so why not rent one in South Africa?
One of the most iconic models is the Zonda. This luxury car is powered by a V12 DOHC engine. This alone should impress the car enthusiast in you.
But it also boasts of other jaw-dropping features such as modifiable suspensions as well as adaptable transmission configurations. Without a doubt, you will have a fascinating time driving around the city with the Zonda.
Another exciting car you should look into is the Pagani C9. It boasts a sleek design that will make you stand out on the road. More importantly, it provides the best in terms of performance. The sports car is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine. For sure, you will be the speediest on the road even if other sports cars are trying to chase you.
To offer something unique to your family for your Paris vacation, it is recommended to rent a Pagani and provide them with a new kind of travel experience. Instead of getting just any ordinary vehicle, make them feel truly special by getting a luxury car. Just be sure that you select the right luxury car rental company.
While it is easy to find different service providers, not all of them are worthy of your time and money. Read online reviews or try to get recommendations from people you know. Through this, you can come up with an informed decision and get the best bang for your buck.

Every second Monday, I draw two titles out of my TBR Jar and decide which one to read! The book has to be read straight after the book I'm currently reading and a title can only be drawn and put back in the jar two times and then on the third time I HAVE to read it.
One of these day's I'm finally going to make a graphic for this post! HAHA!
So last fortnight, I didn't end up drawing a book from my TBR Jar and that is because I hadn't even bothered to pick up the book from the fortnight before that yet. But New Year = No more slacking!
Also! Since Bout of Books runs from the 4th till the 10th this week, I thought I'd wait till I finished my Bout of Books TBR books to read this weeks draw!
The Draw:
I drew, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom and The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness!
Okay, okay, okay, okay! Excitement overload! I have been wanting to read The Knife of Never Letting Go for a billion years but I just never get around to it! BUT IT'S HAPPENING NOW!!! Hell YES! I'm finally going to know what the big fuss is! Plus this will be my first ever Patrick Ness book so hopefully I'll become a massive fan like everyone else seems to be!

Mary from Merrily We Roll Along has tagged me for this meme (thanks very much!). I was also tagged by Melody, Sam and Renee for the same meme and am happy to do it as many times as needed. As usual, here are the rules:
- Pick up the nearest book.
- Open to page 123.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.
Since I bought The Children of Hurin by J.R.R. Tolkien yesterday, I decided to use the book. Here goes:
Turin cried to them to halt, and the men ran out on them like hounds; but they held on their way, and though Androg shot at them two vanished in the dusk.
Tag: Am not tagging anybody but please feel free to play and I'll come visit!
