Purple Thistle: October 2013 update
By Greg Stone
"I have no idea what it is"
We peer into the rubber tuppermaid at the white, foamy, beard-like mold that's started forming on top of the compost project at the Purple Thistle Centre. There's weird black goo under the foam. Neither the foam nor the black goo is supposed to be there.
Trial and error is encouraged at the Thistle, and when we meet up with LeyAnn and Kelsey, two VCN interns working there, they're experiencing compost error.
The Purple Thistle is a collectively-run arts and activist's centre for youth in East Vancouver.
For Kelsey, it was a love for gardening which drew them to the Thistle, "I'm not really into the arts, but I heard they had a gardening project going on here. I've been interested in reclaiming space and guerilla gardening, and I found out they were working on that here, so I just jumped in."
LeyAnn got involved after hearing Kelsey talk about some of the projects, "I went to a show at the Rhizome and I saw some really awesome bands play, and during one of the interludes, Kelsey went up and talked about the garden and that they needed help. I thought it sounded interesting. So that's how I got involved."
LeyAnn and Kelsey have been really busy at the Thistle. Here are some of the projects they've been working on:
The Food Forest
Based on the principles of permaculture, the Thistle is creating Food Forests, gardening projects that seek to reclaim under-used urban space for growing vegetables. One of the main spaces is on Charles St., near Venebles.
"It's a long-term plan," says LeyAnn. "We're planting plants that help each other grow, that can sustain itself by itself."
Last year, their experiment with the Three Sisters (corn, squash and peas) was a success.
"We had huge sweet corn," says Kelsey.
Social Spaces Summit
Another huge project Kelsey and LeyAnn are working on is the 2nd annual Social Spaces Summit. From November 8th-11th, several spaces around the city, including the Thistle, the Dogwood Centre, and Spartacus bookstore will host workshops by summit participants. The topics of the workshops range from deschooling to internet use, with all workshops contributing to radical social change.
"We have 85 registered participants, and 20 of those have submitted workshop proposals," says Kelsey. "It's kind of neat because most of these people have never had a chance to host a workshop before."
One of the major themes of this year's summit is 'Decolonization and Space', and the structure of the summit is inspired by this. "The structure will be horizontal, and the entire summit will be really diverse."

Closing the Digital Divide
Another big project for the Thistlers these days is a major computer upgrade.
"We got a bunch of computers," says LeyAnn. "Some got donated, some got built here, and they just have tons of stuff on them, and there is a lot of cleaning to be done. It's a huge project. Just the other day, someone was trying to upload stuff on a computer and it started to smoke."
Once the computers are up and running (and no fires have destroyed them), LeyAnn has plans to host a series of workshops.
"I'd like to have a workshop on how to use word processing, or how to use the internet, just basic stuff that if you didn't have access to a computer growing up, or didn't have access to computers for any reason, they can come and learn the basics."
Digital Vitality
The Thistle tries to maintain a strong online presence, and LeyAnn and Kelsey have been pumping away at social media, a tool they describe as vital to the Thistle's existence.
"There's so many different avenues that are pulling kids in certain directions," says LeyAnn, "like marketing and advertising, so if we can reach them in any way possible, to let them see that there are alternatives to the media that the propaganda uses. With social media, we can say, we're awesome and so are you, so come and join us."

Bear with me as this is off-topic from the usual parenting stuff.
I was at Yankee Stadium on Saturday when Derek Jeter got his 3000th 2999, 3000, 3001, 3002, and 3003rd career hits. Em got me the tickets for Father's Day and at that time had no idea that July 9th would have been another historic day in Yankee Stadium. It was amazing and the Stadium exploded and it was truly amazing to be there and experience it.
If you been watching TV, listening to the radio, or reading anything online you probably have heard
- Jeter was the 28th person in MLB history to get 3000 hits
- He was only the second (Wade Boggs) to have his 3000th be a homerun
- He went 5 for 5 on Saturday, a feat in itself
- His had the winning RBI with his fifth hit.
Congratulations to the Yankee Captain!
What I found really interesting was how undeserving the guy that caught the homerun ball was. Christian Lopez was fortunate enough to grab (and hold on to) this piece of sports memorabilia. What people that weren't at the Stadium didn't see was the interview they did with him during the game.
Lopez wanted Jeter to have the baseball and didn't ask for anything in return. This is what I find awesome. Some would have hoarded the ball and held out in hopes of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now, Lopez did get chapionship level seasons tickets, signed bats, balls, jerseys AND the chance to hand the ball to Derek Jeter personally. I would have been okay with just the chance to hand him the ball. Kudos, Mr. Lopez for respecting the game and its history and not not being greedy.

I've been working as a virtual assistant (VA) for about two years now. Working as a virtual assistant is a challenging yet rewarding experience if you do your job right.
Flexibility in schedule is one of the things I like about my work. In my case, I have been working and at the same time taking my Masters Degree in Business Administration. I also have the luxury of working from home during long weekends or holidays.
Of course, privileges such as these come with responsibility. You should pay your dues and gain your client's trust first. Once you have gained your their trust, things become easier.
Here are some things I have learned and applied from my experiences as a VA:
Manage your time accordingly.
There was a time when I had 5 clients for an 8-hour shift. Dividing your time and attention, although strenuous at first, can be mastered. My mindset is to focus on a certain task at a specific time schedule allotted for that particular client. As they say, you can't serve two masters at the same time.
If you concern yourself about how difficult your other client's task is, it will surely affect the task you are currently doing. Also, it would be unfair for your client to be paying you while you do other people's work.
Be honest yet confident.
A common mistake some VAs make is the excessive eagerness to present themselves as expert in a particular matter when, in fact, they only know basic things about it. This will give your client false expectations which will later turn into disappointment if you commit some lapses.
Be honest. Tell your client about all the things you know about the subject he is asking about without setting yourself as "Mr. Know It All," but let him know that you understand what he wants. Show confidence that with proper training, you would be able to handle his tasks and live up to your promise. And mean it.
I also used to have a client who required me to use AutoCAD in his tasks. I haven't tried using AutoCAD, but he still preferred to work with me because I assured him that I can deliver if given the chance, and that's just what I did.
One of my clients also taught me how to use QuickBooks. I have some background in Accounting but have never used QuickBooks before. It took a week of training before I got the hang of how he handles his transactions, and the patience paid off.
Don't be afraid to ask.
When in doubt, ask. This is what I always do whenever I am not sure about an assigned task. It's a waste of time and effort to do things the wrong way. But I always make sure that I analyze things and think of options and actions to take. I then present these to my clients for them to know that I have engaged myself in the task.
Clients' will appreciate your initiative and effort in trying. It's a totally different thing when you just give up and ask for your clients' help immediately.
Update and communicate.
It has been my practice that at the end of the week, I send updates to my clients about things I have completed and the progress of current tasks. By doing this, your clients will be able to manage their schedule accordingly, make adjustments when needed, and ensure that the two of you are on the right page. Some clients may prefer it done daily, so it is necessary that you talk to them about how they want to get updates from you. Regular communication is a key for a healthy working relationship.
Just because you are not physically present in your client's office and do not see each other personally doesn't mean that you have the permission to be distracted and waste your time doing non-value added things. Self discipline and accountability are very important.
Being a virtual assistant is fun especially if you have happy and satisfied clients.

During President Trump's speech to the Boy Scouts, that huge crowd applauded constantly, chanted " We love Trump! We love Trump! We love Trump!" and "USA! USA! USA!", and they "boo'ed" when he mentioned "his opponent".
Here's a sample quote:
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Your lives will have meaning and purpose and joy. You will become leaders, and you will inspire others to achieve the dreams they once thought were totally impossible, things that you said could never, ever happen are already happening for you. And if you do these things -- and if you refuse to give in to doubt or to fear -- then you will help to make America great again. You will be proud of yourself, be proud of the uniform you wear, and be proud of the country you love." (Applause.)
AUDIENCE: USA! USA! USA!And just in case the Fake News starts getting it wrong, there were only two times the audience boo'ed. One when he mentioned Hillary:
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "We won Florida. We won South Carolina. We won North Carolina. We won Pennsylvania. (Applause.)
We won and won. So when they said, there is no way to victory, there is no way to 270. I went to Maine four times because it's one vote, and we won. But we won -- one vote. I went there because I kept hearing we're at 269. But then Wisconsin came in. Many, many years -- Michigan came in.
And we worked hard there. My opponent didn't work hard there because she was told --
AUDIENCE: Booo!
THE PRESIDENT: "She was told she was going to win Michigan....."and then when President Trump was telling the story of William Levitt, and teased them with a cliff-hanger:
PRESIDENT TRUMP: " I won't go any more than that because you're Boy Scouts, so I'm not going to tell you what he did."
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: "Should I tell you? Should I tell you?"
AUDIENCE: Yes!
Final real news: The audience loved the speech and the President ALL THE WAY THROUGH:
PRESIDENT TRUMP: So I have to tell you what we did, in all fairness, is an unbelievable tribute to you and all of the other millions and millions of people that came out and voted for Make America Great Again. (Applause.)
AUDIENCE: USA! USA! USA!The President ended his speech with a blessing:
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "And I just want to end by saying very importantly: God bless you. God bless the Boy Scouts. God bless the United States of America.
Go out. Have a great time in life. Compete and go out and show me that there is nobody -- nobody -- like a Boy Scout."

PARIS — As France mourned, thousands of law enforcement agents mobilized on Thursday in an extensive manhunt for two brothers suspected of killing 12 people, including two police officers, at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris.
The police were focusing their search on northern France, where the suspects were reported to have stolen food from a gasoline station. One of the cars they used in their getaway from Paris on Wednesday was found abandoned in the area.
Television channels carried live coverage of the search for the brothers, Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, 34 and 32. A third suspect, Hamyd Mourad, 18, turned himself in early Thursday at a police station in Charleville-Mézières, about 145 miles northeast of Paris.
The sighting of the brothers and the discovery of the car in the town of Villers-Cotterêts, in Picardy, captivated a nation that seemed to draw together on Thursday, at least for a moment of silence at noon on a rare official day of national mourning, to defend French values like freedom of the press and religious tolerance.
French police officers were also guarding railway and subway stations, department stores and other potential targets like news media offices on Thursday. Officials in Britain said they were stepping up screening at ferry ports in case the two men tried to head that way.
In London, the head of Britain's MI5 Security Service, roughly equivalent to the F.B.I., warned on Thursday that Qaeda militants in Syria were plotting attacks to inflict mass casualties in the West, possibly against transport systems or "iconic targets."

Andrew Parker, in a speech prepared before the Paris attack but delivered afterward, called an attack on Britain highly likely. About the Paris attack, he said, "it is too early for us to come to judgments about the precise details or origin of the attack, but it is a terrible reminder of the intentions of those who wish us harm."
In Washington, President Obama visited the French Embassy on Thursday evening, where he signed a book of condolences and paused for a minute of silence alongside Ambassador Gerard Araud, according to the White House pool report.
The moment of silence in France was widely respected, but the national mood encompassed fear, anger, unity and, ultimately, defiance. Isolated events helped fan anxiety. On Thursday morning, a police officer was killed and a city employee was wounded by gunfire near a subway station just south of Paris.
The police said the shooting appeared unrelated to the attack on the newspaper or the subsequent manhunt, and they announced two arrests. There was also an explosion at a kebab shop in eastern France, with no casualties reported, and two mosques were fired at, prosecutors said.
The government moved quickly to try to capture the fugitive brothers and reassure the nation. The police said they had detained several people for questioning in the case and had arrested some of them. They also announced that at least five planned terrorist attacks had been thwarted in France over the last 18 months. The alert level in northern France and in Paris, the capital, was raised to the highest level.
The police had their first big break in the case when they discovered that one of the brothers, Saïd, had left his identity card in the first car used by the gunmen, which was found abandoned Wednesday evening after a crash. The police reportedly found Molotov cocktails and jihadist banners in the car as well.
Tracking the Aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo Attack
A visual timeline of the attack and the events that followed.
The authorities seemed to catch another break when the men robbed the gas station. The manager of the station said they were wearing masks and waving Kalashnikov assault rifles, like the ones used in the attack on the newspaper office.
Xavier Castaing, a spokesman for the Paris police, said that two men fitting the description of the suspects were spotted in Villers-Cotterêts driving a gray Renault Clio, the same kind of car that the two fleeing suspects had hijacked late Wednesday.
In the evening, a police search appeared to be scouring a stretch of forest just to the west of Longpont, a small town on the N2 highway between Villers-Cotterêts and Soissons. Officers blocked off a road leading into Longpont, and at least 50 journalists from as far away as Japan and Russia huddled in the cold and damp. At noon, in a sign of mourning for the worst terrorist attack in France since the Algerian war, bells rang, schools stopped classes, and corporate meetings were cut short. At mosques, people bowed their heads. Some electronic road signs displayed the words, "Je suis Charlie" — I am Charlie.
At Notre Dame Cathedral, pedestrians wept as hundreds stood silent on a gray and rainy day to pay tribute to the victims. Dozens placed flowers in front of Charlie Hebdo's headquarters. Through the vigils and tributes, some people held pencils, a symbol of support for freedom of the press. There was a palpable sense of determination that France and its vaunted Republican values of free speech and freedom of expression would not be subverted by religious extremism.
Charlie Hebdo announced that despite the loss of so many of its people — including cartoonists who have been well known for a generation — it would publish as scheduled next Wednesday, and would print 1 million copies, rather than the usual 60,000.
Many Muslim clerics and spokesmen added their voices to the sense of outrage, decrying the killings as antithetical to legitimate Islam.
Abdennour Bidar, a French Muslim and professor of philosophy, said on Arte television that the killers "do not deserve the name of Muslims." In the name of Islam, he said, he would not allow Islam to be "instrumentalized, stolen by these people who say that they are avenging the Prophet."
"It's a disgrace, an infamy, a lie," he said.
But in a sign of how the attack was already spilling over into French politics, Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Front, called on Thursday for a national referendum on whether to reinstitute the death penalty. "The Islamists have declared war against France," she told a French broadcaster.
Ms. Le Pen said that she had not been invited to join a "unity rally" on Sunday. "Things are clear from now on — the masks fall off," she told Le Monde newspaper. "National unity is a pathetic political maneuver."

I wanted an all around shallow serving dish that I could use for pastas & salads among other dishes... I looked at the Pillivuyt Shallow Coupe Porcelain Serving Bowl online but didn't want to spend that much $ on a serving bowl. I saw the above open kitchen serve bowl in the store along side the Pillivuyt and thought they were very similar in shape and size - though the Pillivuyt is a little bigger. I purchased the open kitchen serve bowl on the spot. I'm glad I did - It's a great size and great looking! Easy to clean and functional.

Eligard Reactions
Men whose prostate cancer has moved to an advanced stage may receive treatment with Eligard® (leuprolide acetate). This medication comes in injectable form and is given every one, three, four, or six months. Most men tolerate it well; however, reactions to Eligard are possible.
In clinical studies, the most common reactions included hot flashes, injection site reactions, and fatigue. Fortunately, if any problems occur, they are usually mild and easily treated -- if they even need treatment at all.

Until recently, impressive economic growth, stable leadership and its attractiveness as a foreign investment hub put Ethiopia in a positive spotlight. However, the country still ranks low in human development and is highly dependent on rainfed agriculture, making it particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. Combined with existing tensions and inequalities, climate vulnerability can exacerbate security risks. To mitigate these linkages, Ethiopia's leadership should support implementation of conflict-sensitive climate change adaptation policies and include climate security in its conflict mitigation strategy.
Nepal and Afghanistan face a number of serious climate-fragility risks, so adelphi brought together regional government officials and NGO experts for a training in Kathmandu on 9 November 2019.
Climate change is increasingly challenging global security and undermining peacebuilding efforts. UN Environment and the European Union have joined forces to address these challenges. With the support of adelphi, they have developed a toolkit on 'Addressing climate-fragility risks'. This toolkit facilitates the development and implementation of strategies, policies, and projects that seek to build resilience by linking climate change adaptation, peacebuilding, and sustainable livelihoods, focusing on the pilot countries Sudan and Nepal.
As the May 2019 EU elections loom and a new European Commission takes office, climate action can become a key driver of a reformed EU project for more solidarity, protection and innovation, writes Luca Bergamaschi, Senior Associate at E3G.
The Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction is a biennial multi-stakeholder forum established by the UN General Assembly to review progress, share knowledge and discuss the latest developments and trends in reducing disaster risk.
As the earth's climate warms, people face mounting threats from rising seas, and more intense and frequent storms, heatwaves, fires, and droughts. When these events hit, people want to understand whether they are connected to climate change. Linking climate change with heatwaves, storms and other events can help us prepare for a changing world, argues Peter Stott.
Small Island States will be facing dramatically higher adaptation costs to build resilience against the kind of impacts the IPCC projects in its most recent Special Report. Thoriq Imbrahim, former Environment and Energy Minister of the Maldives, urges the international community to attend to the political demands of countries particularly exposed to the impacts of climate change and also confront loss and damage with renewed urgency.
With the Paris Agreement, countries committed to collectively limit global warming to well below 2 °C and pursue efforts to limit warming to 1.5 °C above preindustrial levels. However, there is currently no commonly agreed effort-sharing mechanism to determine the contribution of each country. The Pledged Warming Map provides an assessment of global warming when all countries follow the ambition of a given one, reconciling the bottom-up architecture of the Paris Agreement with its top-down warming threshold.
An IPCC special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty.
Though India is now pushing for BIMSTEC, geography dictates that it cannot ignore SAARC. South Asia is extremely vulnerable to a range of climate impacts, ranging from shrinking glaciers and water scarcity to floods and rising sea levels. Responding to these risks is a complex task, also because often impacts affect more than one country and their severity exceeds the capacity of national governments. Climate change creates new challenges for regional organisations, and simultaneously increases their relevance.
In July 2018, a partially completed dam in Laos' Attapeu province collapsed, washing away people and villages in its path. Hundreds of people were missing and more than six thousand lost their homes. And after last summer's hurricanes, U.S. citizens in Houston and Puerto Rico escaped death but were forced to evacuate when dams were flooded. Dam failure can be catastrophic for people, property, and power – and the risks are rising.
In 2018, many countries, including India, have been at the receiving end of the worst disasters the world has ever witnessed. It is imperative that they adopt a human security approach to achieve "freedom from hazard impacts" – nationally through a scientific disaster risk reduction strategy, and internationally through climate diplomacy.
The EU has become a global leader in tackling the illegal trade of wild animals and their products but needs to do more to address the wildlife crime happening on its doorstep, says Janice Weatherley-Singh.

The army on Monday introduced new initiatives at its military facilities that allow soldiers to use smartphones, browse the Internet in their free time and enjoy improved accommodation, in a bid to boost lower-than-expected enlistment figures.
During a media tour at a base in Pingtung County, the army showed off new soldiers' quarters, which include air conditioning and desks for individual soldiers. In the past, soldiers had only beds and lockers.
The 333rd Brigade at the base in Pingtung is among 35 military units that have been chosen by the army to improve soldiers' quality of life through the inclusion of certain creature comforts.
Staff Sergeant Lu Shu-hao (呂書豪) said the barracks had improved drastically on the quarters he had lived in previously.
"It's like 500 times cooler than before," he said.
Lu belongs to an experimental company made up entirely of enlisted soldiers in the army's 333rd Brigade.
Meeting reporters on a base tour, Lu cited improvements in comfort, atmosphere and hygiene, which he said make the barracks "no longer look like a cheap hotel."
To increase the appeal of being part of an all-volunteer force, a goal set for 2017, the military has taken steps to improve the living conditions of service members, in addition to paying higher salaries.
Taking shower facilities as an example, Lu said soldiers in his company can now use separate cubicles instead of the open bath commonly seen in army barracks. To be able to relax is very important after a day of drills and exercising, he added.
Other improvements include individual bunks, desks and closets, and perhaps more important for modern young people: The right to use smartphones.
In order to join the army, Lu gave up his US citizenship, saying it was the most important and the best decision he has made in his life so far.
Private Cheng Kai-yang also gave a thumbs-up for the improvements at the base, particularly new initiatives that include allowing military personnel to live off-base and eat outside on work days.
Being able to use smartphones at the base also allows them to stay connected with the rest of the world, Cheng said.
"I believe this will attract more young people to enlist," he added.
According to the army, 80 percent of the military personnel at the selected 35 units have expressed satisfaction with the improved daily facilities and new measures.
The army began implementing the initiatives in October last year and over the past three months, 10 percent of the young men who are required to undergo four months of military training as part of the military's plan to shift to an all-volunteer force agreed to enlist.
The army said it is planning to implement the new initiatives at more of its military units. In the 35 units, those who have volunteered to sign up for longer military service increased from 45.3 percent to 56.1 percent, according to the military.
The transition to an all-volunteer army was originally planned for next year, but the army pushed the date back due to lower-than-expected recruitment figures.

Alyeska is a striking female with remarkable presence and great attitude. Her soft, dense, crimpy fleece accompanies her flawless conformation. Last year we bred her to our Rose Gray male "Polaris", and "presto!" she delivered a beautiful Medium Rose Gray male. He is remarkably dense and crimpy with bright fleece and a clean blanket, no spots! After examining her little boy we repeated the breeding to Polaris. She is a great mother, very attentive and a great milker. A little note about her genetics. Her dam is a gray female out of true black, Arcuta's Jackpot, and her sire is out of Light Brown PPeruvian Guellermo. Don't miss this great genetic opportunity to own a proven gray producer with excellent conformation and great fleece.

I'm still still STILL processing photos from last month's vacation in Pittsburgh and I feel like I need to finish that up before blogging about our weekend getaway to Los Angeles...but I digress. Last month, we spent the week of 4th of July doing some heavy sight-seeing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. No trip to Pittsburgh is complete without a stop at the ANDY WARHOL MUSEUM, and this time, it was the cherry on top of our vacation. On exhibit this time around were HUNDREDS of Andy Warhol's screen tests, movies, and television appearances. One room was filled with row after row of back-to-back TELEVISION SCREENS showing various programs and specials that featured Andy. Because it was so dark in the room, I was able to sneak a few photos from under the eyes of the watchful docents and security guards...
Another room was a labyrinth of MOVIE SCREENS showing some of Warhol's more infamous movies. We watched EDIE SEDGWICK smoke a cigarette while getting her hair cut by one of the many "FACTORY" regulars...
A LION from Warhol's TAXIDERMY collection:
Before we left, Missy got to SILKSCREEN her own souvenir T-SHIRT in one of the museum workshops. She chose to screen a couple of PINK TWIN POPS on to her shirt, in honor of summer. It was the sweet end to an all-too-short vacation...

What's Next For My Blog?November 28, 2017 Posted by Tyler Cruz
So my 30 posts have all been completed and I haven't posted in 2 weeks.
"Ah shit, not again. Is he going to abandon us for another 1.5 years again?"
Well, I thought about it, and despite my blog not resurrecting like I had hoped it would, it did show some growth, and so I decided to do exactly what I did before and write another 30 drafts and then schedule them all.
I recorded a very short video to talk about this, and also reveal an interesting piece of news. You'll have to watch the video to find out what this is:

Natural Running : Initial thoughts on the ASICS Gel Excel 33
Hooray, just in time for the weekend! A post that is about leaving plantar fasciitis behind!
Well, enough to allow a return to running a few times a week and to clock up about 50km in my new ASICS Gel Excel 33 trainers. I figure now I've had the chance to go for a few runs it would be a good time to do a quick review of my experience of them so far.
First off, I rate this shoe highly. Great fit, good cushioning (but not too much), flexible and light, and well suited to my mid-foot to forefoot strike.
When walking the low heel drop feels strange at first, probably because I've always had 'regular' trainers, however when you are running you don't notice the heel drop – just the ease with which you can land on your mid-foot and transition forwards onto your toes for the toe-off. I'm not sure these would be suited to pronounced heel strikers, the low drop seems to make it take longer for your heel to hit the ground, which could lead to over-striding. Certainly I noticed this on downward slopes at least.
I will put up a more detailed review once I have done some more miles, but in the meantime these shoes are shaping up to be a good solid pair of high mileage trainers.
Which means (checks to see if girlfriend is reading over shoulder) I'm on the lookout for a new pair of shoes for my fast runs and speed work…
Happy running for the weekend everyone!
Get Going, Get Running!
Natural running continues : A shiny new pair of ASICS Gel Excel 33 for me!
Who doesn't love a new pair of running shoes? The shine, that new-shoe smell, bright white foam…
Ok, ok, I'm getting carried away…
As I said in my previous post I have been looking into natural running. Not barefoot running – that is definitely a step too far for me – but natural running. Natural running shoes have a low heel drop, only about 5mm from heel to toe, which encourages mid-foot and forefoot running. This is a lot less than regular trainers which have around 10mm or more drop. They are also 'stripped' back and feature less motion control features, thereby not impeding the body's natural biomechanics.
Given my ASICS Gel Kinsei were well beyond their use-by date I took the opportunity to get myself some new running shoes. Well, that and I just wanted a new shiny pair of trainers! So why after years of running in 'normal' trainers have I opted for a completely different type of shoe? 4 reasons:
- I have a neutral gait – Meaning I don't over-pronate or supinate, so shoes with masses of cushioning in the heel don't provide me with extra protection, just extra weight.
- Natural running shoes have a low heel drop – A flatter shoe encourages mid-foot and forefoot running, which is my natural gait. Warning – If you over-pronate then you should approach natural or minimal shoes with extreme caution. They are not designed with motion control or other systems to control over-pronation, so your risk of lower limb injury would be much higher in this sort of shoe.
- I am in the recovery phase of plantar fasciitis – This sounds counter-intuitive, however my theory is that my current mileage is very low, making this a perfect time to get into a new 'genre' of trainers because of the need to always transition slowly when moving from 'regular' trainers to 'natural' trainers. Please note that if you are like me and have tight calf muscles then natural shoes will put more strain on them due to the flatness of the shoe. Pay special attention to this and to your static stretching routine so you don't strain your calves or encourage a spell of plantar fasciitis
- Additional foot strength – Plantar fasciitis is often caused or exacerbated by weak musculature of the foot and lower limbs. Shoes designed for natural running encourage your feet and lower limbs to get stronger because of the minimal approach to motion control. My theory is that in the long run if I have stronger feet and lower limbs I will be better able to keep myself free from plantar fasciitis. But it is a long road…
Anyone reading this and thinking along similar lines, I stress again the importance of transitioning slowly. Natural or minimal running shoes are very different from regular running shoes and you will take time to adjust. From my research I have found that all manufacturers of natural or minimal running shoes have noted to add these shoes into a rotation, and keep your regular runners for long distances. This will assist with the transition without needing to drastically cut your mileage and let you get used to the new shoe. I suggest you read this great article from Competitor.com – Safely Transitioning To A Minimalist Running Shoe – Competitor.com.
So why did I go for the ASICS Gel Excel 33?
Simple really, I tried on quite a number of shoes in the 'natural running' style – Newton, Mizuno, Adidas, Nike – but I guess I found the ASICS fit and feel to be what I am most used to and the most comfortable for me. I got my shoes from Sweatshop because they tend to have staff who are runners themselves, as well as the massive benefit of being able to try the shoes out by running on a treadmill in store while the assistant watches you for gait or pronation issues. In the UK another good store Runners Need also have treadmills so you can try-before-you-buy.
A little advice/rant here – apologies in advance – while you will pay more for shoes from the store instead of the internet, go to a dedicated running store where the staff are knowledgeable and you can try the shoes out on a treadmill. Walking around a shop floor for a few minutes is not going to give you an idea of what the shoes feel like when running! And be a nice person, if your assistance has given you good service, useful advice and the benefit of running on a treadmill, buy the shoes from them. Don't go home and buy the same shoes on the internet. If everyone does that, the additional service which is so important to us all will just disappear. I only ever buy shoes from the internet when replacing shoes I already have and trust, because nothing compares being able to try them on and crucially, try them out, while in the shop.
For me, it's time to start running again as my plantar fasciitis recedes. I will update you here after I have put some miles in my new ASICS Gel Excel 33 and provide a review. In the meantime, safe running everyone!
Get Going, Get Running
Natural or Minimalist Running : Is less really more?
As part of rectifying issues which contributed to my plantar fasciitis I have been researching new running shoes. Well, that's my excuse I'm sticking to it!
Luckily for me I am a 'neutral' runner – I don't over-pronate (roll in) or supinate (roll out) – and after running coaching several years back to rehabilitate from a nasty case of ITB Syndrome I now have a 'natural' mid-foot to fore-foot strike. As I said in my previous post, I have been running the last few years in ASICS Gel Kinsei, and have been through 3 pairs. They were a great pair of trainers for me; however they are a 'premium' shoe with lots of everything for everyone. Great cushioning, huge shock absorption in the heel, a design good for neutral runners, and all sorts of fancy technological improvements meant to make them better shoes.
In 2011 I stepped up my running and did a couple of marathons, both run wearing ASICS Gel Kinsei 3, without any real problems. However, looking at my last pair (over 1100km) I've noticed that there is virtually no wear on the heel. Why? Because of my mid-foot to fore-foot strike.
Which got me thinking: "Why do I have all this cushioning on my shoes which I don't use, and is it slowing me down?"
Since then I have talked to a few assistants at specialist running shops as well as some internet research and have been looking into 'natural' or 'minimalist' running. I don't mean barefoot running, I just mean running in shoes which are designed to promote or allow a 'natural', and more efficient, running style.
In my travels I found this great article at Competitor.com and thought I would share some of it here for those of you who are investigating natural running as well.
I'll keep looking into this and let you know how I go, but I've already got a pair of natural shoes in my sights so will report back soon!
Here is the article, if it takes your fancy; the rest of the article is available through the link.
Get Going, Get Running
via Competitor.com
Minimalist running has been all the rage for a while now as research continues to emerge about its potential benefits. Furthermore, proponents of the "less is more" footwear philosophy have become more vocal about their success stories.
So what exactly constitutes minimalist running? In short, it involves wearing a running shoe that doesn't impede upon the body's natural biomechanics. Traditional running shoes, on the other hand, are well-cushioned, may have denser midsole materials and built-in support devices to prevent excess motion at the ankle, and usually have a high heel to toe ratio — meaning the heel is elevated (10-12 mm is common) above the toe. Recent literature indicates that these safeguards and inherent support can actually weaken the foot over time — nor have they been shown to reduce instances of injury.
Minimalist running on the other hand, promotes the natural motion of the foot. Over time, the foot gets stronger so that it can essentially support itself and act as a natural shock absorber by striking on the midfoot or forefoot. Theoretically, stronger foot muscles and lower impact rates will reduce the chance of injury.
It is not the goal of this article to persuade you one way or the other to try minimalist running. After 10 years of coaching and more than 15 years of running at an elite level, I've encountered scores of runners who've have been helped tremendously by traditional running shoes. I've also met numerous runners whose injury problems were seemingly cured by moving into minimalist running shoes. The decision on which shoes to wear is a personal one based on your own injury history as well as your goals.
This article will explain how to safely transition to running in minimalist shoes. In order to stay healthy, which is the number one goal, it is imperative that you properly prepare the muscles in your feet, improve your proprioception, and develop a solid foundation of strength and flexibility before transitioning to a minimalist shoe.

The plan is to build the brand with luxury vehicles like Wrangler and Grand Cherokee, and eventually roll out Jeep Rs 10 lakh to Rs 20 lakh bracket.
According to five people in the know of the company's plans, the C Segment Jeep which is internally code named 556 is expected to be launched within a year around August and it will be exported to a lot of right hand drive markets.
And the more ambitious B segment Jeep which is internally codenamed 526 may be a sub- 4 metre sports utility vehicle and take on the likes of Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Ford EcoSport. The company confirmed the production of C Jeep from 2017 but did not comment on products beyond.
Also Read: Jeep launches 4 SUVs in India at a price of Rs 71.59 lakh - Rs 1 cr (ex Delhi)
When queried Kevin Flynn, MD of Fiat Chrysler India declined to comment on specific price points of localized Jeep, but said, "The locally made Jeep will be attainable for a significant part of the market."
On the potential of exporting vehicles from India, Flynn added, "We are optimistic and believe that India still wants to leverage its strengths and stands behind it's "Make in India" program and being a much sought after manufacturing location."
The company has already brought in two vehicle line directors from Italy and the localized project is taking concrete shape. The first few hundred units of C Jeep of 556 will be made by the end of the year and Fiat will test the vehicles before rolling it out the manufacturing line in Ranjangaon on the outskirts of Pune from the second half of 2017.
The company has already invested $280 million in the new factory to produce the premium Jeep models. The vehicles will be sold through 10 Jeep outlets across the country by the end of 2016.

Fiat Chrysler is planning to position Jeep at a little premium over existing mass SUVs like Hyundai Creta, Mahindra Scorpio or Ford EcoSport. But package the vehicle with loads of features.
The company has benchmarked BMW X1 for C Jeep and it is planning to make it available at Rs 15 lakh to Rs 20 lakh, whereas the B Jeep is benchmarked against the higher segment SUV and it is likely to start at Rs 10 lakh.
"The smaller B Jeep is a mini-Renegade SUV and it is created largely for markets like India. The company is planning on annual volumes of about 40,000 to 50,000 units per annum, with some portfolio going to exports market," said the person involved with the company requesting anonymity.
Gaurav Vangaal, Sr Analyst for forecasting says after Ford EcoSport's exports success in developed world, Jeep plans of exporting premium vehicle is another feather in the cap of India as manufacturing base.
"The quality of vehicles made in India are second to none and it is being duly rewarded by global car makers, who are bringing in compact premium vehicles especially SUVs. The plan not only enables them to tap the large Indian market, but combining exports volumes it allows companies to enjoy economies of scale and pass on the benefit through attractive pricing," added Vangaal.

May Institute Awarded $250K to Advance Employment for People with Autism
May Institute
, a national nonprofit based in Randolph that provides programs and services to individuals of all ages with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other special needs, today announced that it has received a two-year, $250,000 grant to support employment for people with ASD.
The grant from the Kessler Foundation will help fund the Meaningful Jobs Initiative, a collaborative venture between May Institute, its National Autism Center, and WORK Inc., the largest employer of people with disabilities in New England.
This employment program will identify, train, and support adults with ASD for potential employment in the security industry in New England. The Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services and the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC) will also serve as partners between May Institute and WORK Inc.
Kesslers investment in our Meaningful Jobs Initiative will support a training program that may result in the employment of individuals with ASD in a variety of positions within the security industry, said Robert F. Putnam, executive vice president of positive behavior interventions and supports at May Institute. One of our goals is to develop guidelines for best practices on how to create a positive work environment for people with ASD. If this effort is successful, we hope that it could be replicated on a national level, impacting hundreds of men and women with autism, added Putnam.
James Cassetta, president and CEO of WORK Inc., said, This is a unique collaboration and one that may give individuals with ASD the opportunity to work in a multitude of different roles in the security industry at the conclusion of their vocational and academic training, adding "this is a program that will change - for the better - the national conversation surrounding the best ways to incorporate the disabled into our countrys workforce.

Also in this section…?
Our conservators deal with lots of enquiries from the public, including questions about the collections they care for, as well as advice on how to look after precious artefacts and memorabilia.
The answers to some general questions are below and you can also see questions to specific types of conservators in the conservation departments section of the website. For example, if you'd like advice on how to care for photographs, books or watercolour paintings, have a look at the questions to a paper conservator.
How much is it worth? We can't tell you! It is usually curators who provide provenance for a piece (documentation that an object is what it appears to be, where it came from and when it was made). However, conservators can (and often do) provide information that may help to authenticate or date an object through material evidence, such as manufacture and tool markings.
Is central heating bad for antiques? Central heating can frequently cause the atmosphere to 'dry out'. Whilst in a damp building this may not be such a bad thing, in a normal building when heat 'dries out' the atmosphere it can cause the relative humidity to drop, sometimes as low as 20 - 30%. When the relative humidity is this low for a length of time, not only is it not very good for human beings, it can also cause serious damage to certain types of objects - organic materials such as wood and textiles can become brittle or shrink and develop cracks or splits. Natural glues holding objects together can also dry out. When these types of damage happen it can sometimes lead to an object breaking or falling apart completely. There are some objects however, such as metalwork that actually fair better in a lower humidity than a higher one. Why do you not use spotlights to show off the objects in your museums? Why do you not open the curtains when it's nice and sunny outside? Many items in museum collections are made of materials that can be badly affected by both natural and artificial light; photographs, watercolours and documents can fade, textiles and feathers can also fade and become brittle, (how many curtains have you seen where the edges that catch the sunlight have faded or begun to shred?) and wood too can change in colour becoming either lighter or darker depending upon the type of wood. Sadly when this type of damage occurs it can often be impossible to repair without significant cost and alteration to the original construction and finish of an object. Also, even for items that may be insensitive to high light levels, the heat generated by high levels of both natural and artificial light can have a negative effect upon the relative humidity of the atmosphere surrounding the object. If this happens then it can lead to further types of environmental damage to collections. Why do you have so many things in cases? We display our objects in cases for a number of reasons. It may be because the environmental conditions of the gallery space, (for example, relative humidity, temperature, light, dust or pollution levels) are not suitable for the type of material the object is constructed from or the object may be particularly sensitive to frequent fluctuations in environmental conditions, which the case is designed to buffer against. Alternatively the object may be cased because frequent dusting could cause it to become damaged, or it may simply be that it is a very valuable object that requires the increased security a case can provide. Whatever the reason, the use of a case frequently allows an object to be imaginatively displayed and lit, and it also of course allows visitors to get very close to objects.
Do I have silverfish because I'm not very good at housekeeping? No - having silverfish is frequently an indication of high humidity, damp or water leakage, which is why they are commonly found in bathrooms, kitchens and basements.
How do I know I have carpet beetles and can I get rid of them? If you live in an old house with floorboards and fireplaces and/or chimneys the chances are you will have carpet beetle, and they will be fairly impossible to get rid of. If do you have carpet beetle then you tend to see the adults on windowsills in the spring/summer months.
Two beetles
Do carpet beetles only eat carpets? No they will eat anything with keratin in it, eg feathers, furs, flies, dead mice and at times just plain old household dust, (because of the dead skin found in the dust!).
Why is the death watch beetle called the death watch beetle? It got its name in the days when people used to sit at the bedside of the dying in their homes. At that time, when everything was quiet, the beetles could apparently be heard 'knocking' in the timbers of old houses.
How do I know if the woodworm I have in a piece of furniture are new or old? If the infestation is new or the holes are fresh then there will probably be small piles of very fine 'sawdust' near to the holes. Also, if you run your finger over the hole you will be able to feel a 'burr' around the edge of the hole where the beetle has exited. Plus, if you look at the hole, the wood inside the hole will have a paler/fresh appearance whereas the old holes tend to be darker.
If I find an unusual insect at home can I bring it to you for identification? You could bring it to us, but as we tend to focus only on museum pests at the National Conservation Centre, it might be better to take it to our Entomology Department at World Museum, who have far more knowledge and experience of identifying a wide variety of insects. You can ask at the information desk, Bug House or Clore Natural History Centre at World Museum.

The Minis!
Cria Lease
Fiber & Roving
About Us
The Minis: Females
For Sale
PVL Chilean Danica
Unknown Bandit
Indian Ink
ILR# 268311 Birthdate: 7/7/06
This female was added to our herd to expand our suri options. She has extreme suri fiber and is a proven mom with lots of milk. This fall she's given us a beautiful female appaloosa cria out of PVL Phoenix. We plan to breed her back to PVL Chilean Perfection for a full Chilean cria next fall.
GEM Hermoine
(Stage Stop Ebony and Ivory X Chilean Spanish Lace)
ILR# 280181 Birthdate: 6/14/09
Finally, a girl! And we have a beautiful one-a paint! 16# & full of energy. We were present for the birth event on a sunny afternoon. This little one always stays close to the other crias weve had this year. You can find them busy playing most anytime of the day, chasing & creating havoc with the others that are soon to be Moms, as most are due in early fall. Anyway-this one is a crowd pleaser, with great looks, color and conformation. We're looking forward to Hermoine's crias. Check out her first cria
Geishas Peaches
(Harmonys Favorite Son X G.L.L. Geisha)
ILR# 234571 Birthdate: 7/1/98
Peaches joined our herd late in the fall along with a nice male cria @ her side. She is 37 & ¾ inches & soon to be registered in AMLA. She has some older bloodlines with Dr. Doolittle on both the dam & sires side. She had a cria on January 23rd, 2013 by Arg. Giovanni! She is such a good Mom, she found the warmest section os the barn & he arrived safe & sound on a 16 degree day. She has nice size, fiber & coloring too! She will be bred again for a spring 2014 mini cria, as her babies are always favorites!
Midnight Mini
(Midnight Buckaroo x Nalas Maggie Mae)
ILR# 271819 Birthdate: 9/30/04
Midnight is a 35 inch mature mini. In addition to her size, we are excited about her nice conformation, beautiful head & silky fiber. Ill get a new picture in spring, as this girl looks so different now. We gave her a full body shear last year & found gorgeous silky, true black fiber! Due to the fact that midnight came to us with an injury to her back right leg, we will likely never sell her. She had a beautiful suri male cria in Fall of 2013. Once this little guy is weaned, we will likely breed her to Greystone.
Chilena Lalolita
(Luis El Bandido x MW Lola)
ILR# 250080 Birthdate: 11/9/02
Another true mini at 38 inches with Macho Camacho 3 generations back!! She has incredible fiber, with a single coat (no guard hair) and lots of crimp. She is covered with it from head to toe! Most visitors to the farm ask if Chilena is an argentine as she has such think fiber and an argentine-like face, but she is not argentine at all. Just plain beautiful! She has been bred to
Lord Greystone
for Spring 2014 cria.

One of my favorite photos from the 2008 festival.
For those of you who saw this post on Tuesday, then watched it and your comments disappear, my apologies. The monarch piece rared up and grabbed the spotlight. So here it is again. Whew. what a week it's been!
Everything was good this year, better even than last. The big Percherons were still giving carriage rides. Picture the four of us stuffing ourselves with all manner of food made with pawpaws (a creamy white sauce over chicken breast, a pawpaw/peach/hot chili salsa, a pawpaw beurre blanc over scallops,
(all of the above made by Chef Dave Rudie)
who showed us how to flip onions in a sautee pan, which I'm sure I could do if I had hours to practice and a tarp on the kitchen floor.I just came from the kitchen, where, following Chef Rudie's lead, I made a pawpaw cream sauce sweetened with our own pawpaw pulp and some sourwood honey from the Smoky Mountains, a gift from our editor, Lisa White of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Heavy whipping cream, softened butter, caramelized shallots, salt, pepper, and a dollop of honey mustard...and heaven can wait. We're going to try it over pork tenderloin at Margaret and Zane's. It was just ridiculously good. How can you go wrong with that ingredient list? I totally winged it, no recipe--just remembered how Dave demonstrated it, and it was ossum as creamed possum.
But wait--there was more in the vendor stalls that we sampled, including a
pawpaw crepe, pawpaw jelly roll, and a pawpaw mango ginger mint smoothie to name just a few.
But wait, there was still more...great live music and a mess of our friends who simultaneously and serendipitously decided to make the hour-plus trek to Albany for the festival at the same time.
David and Zane consult an iPhone for something...iPhone users are forever consulting them.
We hung out and listened to the music and watched the kids dance with Oona, who can really shake her moneymaker.
There was a lot of moneymakershaking going on at the bandstand.
I lost track of Bill for quite awhile...he was watching the hula-hooping, I think. Who could blame him.
This is quite a different demographic than we are accustomed to seeing, only an hour and a half away. Having Ohio University in Athens certainly results in more interesting people-watching than we get in Whipple. For me, most of enjoying a festival is people-watching, but this one has delicious food and great music, too. I give it a five out of five.
Many of those interesting young folks brought their dogs--it's hard to find a place where you can bring your dog anymore.
I did not because, having brought Chet to the last two festivals and having had a loose pitbull straddle and growl at him in 2008, I deemed it not worth the angst or the constant pull on my arm. It's hard to drink a pint when there's an unearthly strong steady pull on your other arm.
This little pied beauty stopped every few seconds to scratch, another reason I was glad I hadn't brought my as-yet-flea-free puppeh.
A dog rumble went down--Chet would've gladly flown into the middle of it.
It was rowdy but friendly, and fun to watch. Dogs who are socialized can do this without getting all snarly. Chet's not quite there.
He likes to be Numba One. He'd have been Offisa Puppin' all over those dogs.
The moon rose, the pawpaw wheat beer was wonderful, and still the children played.
A man walked by with a little light that put sparkles on the ground
arresting the attention of a sweet baby who pointed (don't miss that tiny finger...) and then knelt to try to rub the sparkles out
charming me even more
And the moon rose in a pastel sky and Mary Jane showed us how to catch it
and Phoebe tried, but her photographer couldn't see very well, as the photo of Mary Jane attests...
but Phoebe could see the moon in the viewfinder, so with her help I finally captured the shining orb
and the sky went blank for a moment
nothing but watercolor tints I could never replicate.
As it got dark there hove into view a giant and hilariously funny pawpaw whose barely audible voice came from the depths of his foam costume, asking us to give him a high five
but he had no hands so we squeezed him instead. And nothing popped out.
If you'd like to get some fresh pawpaws shipped, or, after they're out of season in late October, some frozen pulp to play with in your own kitchen, see Integration Acres' cool web site. We have them to thank for this wonderful festival, and for making "pawpaw" a household word in Appalachian Ohio. Well, in some houses. Soitainly ours.
