They had sex, and he soon became her boyfriend. Then one day he threatened to kick her out if she did not have sex with several of his friends in exchange for money.
She agreed, fearing she had no choice. "Where was I going to go?" said Nicole, now 17 and living here, just down the Interstate from Medford. That first exchange of money for sex led to a downward spiral of prostitution that lasted for 14 months, until she escaped last year from a pimp who she said often locked her in his garage apartment for months.
"I didn't know the town, and the police would just send me back to the group home," Nicole said, explaining why she did not cut off the relationship once her first boyfriend became a pimp and why she did not flee prostitution when she had the chance. "I'd also fallen for the guy. I felt trapped in a way I can't really explain."
Most of the estimated 1.6 million children who run away each year return home within a week. But for those who do not, the desperate struggle to survive often means selling their bodies.Continue reading the main story
Nearly a third of the children who flee or are kicked out of their homes each year engage in sex for food, drugs or a place to stay, according to a variety of studies published in academic and public health journals. But this kind of dangerous barter system can quickly escalate into more formalized prostitution, when money changes hands. And then, child welfare workers and police officials say, it becomes extremely difficult to help runaways escape the streets. Many become more entangled in abusive relationships, and the law begins to view them more as teenage criminals than under-age victims.
Estimates of how many children are involved in prostitution vary wildly — ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. More solid numbers do not exist, in part because the Department of Justice has yet to study the matter even though Congress authorized it to do so in 2005 as part of a nationwide study of the illegal commercial sex industry.
But many child welfare advocates and officials in government and law enforcement say that while the data is scarce, they believe that the problem of prostituted children has grown, especially as the Internet has made finding clients easier.
"It's definitely worsening," said Sgt. Kelley O'Connell, a detective who until this year ran the
The barriers to rescuing these children are steep: state cuts to mental heath services, child welfare agencies incapable of preventing them from running away, a dearth of residential programs where the children can receive counseling.
After years of abuse, trauma and neglect, the children also tend to trust no one. The longer they are on the streets, experts say, the more likely they are to become involved in crime and uncooperative with the authorities.
"These kids enter prostitution and they literally disappear," said Bradley Myles, deputy director of the Polaris Project, a nonprofit organization based in Washington that directly serves children involved in prostitution and other trafficking victims. "And in those rare moments that they reappear, it's in these revolving-door situations where they're handled by people who have no idea or training in how to help them. So the kids end up right back on the street."
The Flip Interview
That revolving door is what an
Conducting what the police call a "flip" interview, Mr. Garrabrant was trying every tactic he knew to persuade a petite 16-year-old girl named Roxanne L. from
Sending the girl home was not the answer. Home was where her mentally ill, crack-addicted mother lived. Home was where the problems had started.
But Mr. Garrabrant also knew that she would flee if he sent her to a youth shelter. And with her would go his best chance at prosecuting the real criminal, her pimp.
A social worker for six years before joining the F.B.I. almost two decades ago, Mr. Garrabrant has been honored by anti-trafficking experts, prosecutors and the police as one of the best flip interviewers in the country.
On this day, however, he was getting nowhere, according to a recording of the interview and his notes.
While Roxanne had all the signs of being controlled by a pimp — a tattoo with initials on her neck, a rehearsed script about how she was new to the work — she adamantly denied working for anyone.
Mr. Garrabrant had only an hour before the local police would take Roxanne to a shelter. Trying to ease the mood, he started by asking her why she had run away from home. She told him she had been raped by a relative when she was 12 years old. At 14, she left home because her mother's boyfriend had become abusive.
Soon, running out of time, he zeroed in.
"What's the worst part about working the streets?" he asked.
"So a pimp never approached you and tried to turn you out?" Mr. Garrabrant asked.
"Yeah, they tried, but I ran," she said, maintaining that she was "renegading," or working without a pimp.
Mr. Garrabrant's task was to get Roxanne to consider leaving her pimp without forcing her to admit she had one. He needed to push hard enough to break her from her rehearsed script, without descending into a frustrating game of wits, a contest in liar's poker. And he had to do all this at exactly the wrong time and place — at the police station after an arrest for solicitation, when the girl felt most panicked and most angry about being treated like a criminal.
"Look, I want to help you," he said, after several failed attempts to get her to acknowledge her pimp. He told her that he might be able to enter her into a residential program in
"Yeah, I know," she said, as she looked down and pensively picked at her nails.
"Give me some time," Mr. Garrabrant pleaded as he handed her a card and asked her to keep it handy. With no time left, he released Roxanne back to the local police, who took her to the youth shelter.
Four hours later, she disappeared. Seventeen days after that, according to the F.B.I, she was found stabbed to death by the pimp she had so adamantly denied existed.
In one of her pockets she had Mr. Garrabrant's card.
"Two days, that's all I needed to get her to stay away from her pimp and I think things would've ended up differently," said Mr. Garrabrant, shaking his head in frustration. "I still don't understand how these guys loop these girls in so far."
A Dangerous Dependency
A runaway's relationship with a pimp does not occur by accident. It takes work.
After using court records to compile a database of over a hundred convicted pimps and where each is incarcerated,
"With the young girls, you promise them heaven, they'll follow you to hell," said Harvey Washington, a pimp who began serving a four-year sentence in
While most of the pimps said they prefer adult women because teenage runaways involve more legal risks, they added that juveniles fetch higher prices from clients and are far easier to manipulate.
Virtually all the juveniles who become involved in prostitution are runaways and become pimp-controlled, according to law enforcement officials and social workers. Built of desperation and fear, the
"The problem is that there is no methadone for a bad relationship," said Rachel Lloyd, a former child prostitute and the director of Girls Educational and Mentoring Services, a program in New York that helps girls escape and stay away from prostitution.
The pimps view themselves as talent managers, not exploiters.
"My job is to make sure she has what she needs, personal hygiene, get her nails done, take her to buy an outfit, take her out to eat, make her feel wanted," said another pimp, Antoin Thurman, who was sentenced in 2006 to three years for pandering and related charges in Buckeye, Ariz. "But I keep the money."
Wayne Banks Jr., a pimp serving at least 40 years in Hazelton, W. Va., for the sex trafficking of a minor and related charges, wrote that the girls have to be convinced that the pimp is best equipped to handle their clients and finances.
"Seems more despicable to me to give something so valuable away as opposed to selling it," he wrote, describing his pitch to persuade girls that prostitution was a smart business decision.
When recruiting, some pimps said they prowled homeless shelters, bus stations and shopping malls or posed in newspaper advertisements as photographers and talent scouts. Others said they worked Internet chat rooms and phone-sex lines.
"I'll look for a younger female with a backpack," said Mr. Thurman, describing how he used to drive near schools after hours. "I'm thinking she's leaving home, she's leaving for a reason, she had a fight with her parents or she just wants to leave home."
Mr. Banks wrote that he preferred using "finders' fees": $100 to anyone who sent a prospect his way. His only condition was that the girl had to be told up front that he was a pimp.
Runaways are especially attractive recruits because most are already engaging in survival sex for a place to stay, said Evelyn Diaz, who is serving a nine-year sentence in a federal prison in
"Some become very loyal to you since you take them under your wing," she wrote.
Controlling girls through beatings or threats was common, but coercion was not an effective basis for a lasting relationship, most pimps emphasized.
"Everything about the game is by choice, not by force," said Bryant Bell, who is serving a four-and-a-half-year sentence in
For those girls not already engaged in survival sex, the grooming process was gradual and calculated. At first, the sex is consensual. Before long, the girl is asked to turn occasional tricks to help pay bills.
"I might start by asking her to help me by sleeping with a friend," Mr. Washington said in a telephone interview. "Then I push her from there."
A Better System
Ten years ago, the
The city's child prostitution problem has grown over time. But the bigger reason for the change is how the department handles the cases, using a special unit and some unusual techniques.
Previously, said Sgt. Byron A. Fassett, who leads the department's effort, girls working as prostitutes were handled as perpetrators rather than sexual assault victims. If a 45-year-old man had sex with a 14-year-old girl and no money changed hands, she was likely to get counseling and he was likely to get jail time for statutory
The department's flip interviews almost always failed, and even if they worked, there was no place to put the girls to receive treatment. Officers resisted investigating what they viewed as a nuisance, not a crime. Prosecutors regularly refused the cases against pimps because the girls made for shaky witnesses and unsympathetic plaintiffs.
Frustrated with this system, Sergeant Fassett started combing through old case files, looking for patterns. One stuck out: 80 percent of the prostituted children the department had handled had run away from home at least four or more times a year.
"It dawned on me, if you want to effectively deal with teen prostitutes, you need to look for repeat runaways," he said.
In 2005, Sergeant Fassett created the "High Risk Victim" unit in the Dallas Police Department, which flags any juvenile in the city who runs away from home four or more times in a given year. About 200 juveniles per year fit that description. If one of those children is picked up by the police anywhere in the country, the child is directed back to Sergeant Fassett's unit, which immediately begins investigating the juvenile's background.
The unit's strength is timing. If the girls are arrested for prostitution, they are at their least cooperative. So the unit instead targets them for such minor offenses as truancy or picks them up as high-risk victims, speaking to them when their guard is down. Only later, as trust builds, do officers and social workers move into discussions of prostitution.
Repeat runaways are not put in juvenile detention but in a special city shelter for up to a month, receiving counseling.
Three quarters of the girls who get treatment do not return to prostitution.
The results of the Dallas system are clear: in the past five years, the Dallas County district attorney's office has on average indicted and convicted or won guilty pleas from over 90 percent of the pimps arrested. In virtually all of those cases, the children involved in the prostitution testified against their pimps, according to the prosecutor's office. Over half of those convictions started as cases involving girls who were picked up by the police not for prostitution but simply as repeat runaways.
In 2007, Congress nearly approved a proposal to spend more than $55 million for cities to create pilot programs across the country modeled on the Dallas system. But after a dispute with President

He was in it from the beginning. He was the start of the story. Everything he did was for her, he just wanted a companion. His life was taken away from him. He is very unpredictable and full of surprises. He made the whole story interesting. He is evilly creative. He is my favorite character. He is Leo.
I don't relate to any of the characters experiences because I had never witness my shadow move without my consents and I'm positive that it's not planning to murder me or anyone like the main character. Neither have I been abused like Leo or a fan of total weirdness like Lexi. Though, I have a weird friends but not creepy like the creep sisters, I do like photography and I've been taking pictures of several things and learning some cool technique but I don't make videos and I'm not obsessed with it.
The book was intense and emotional for me. All the scenes where Leo appears either scare me or break my heart. He fits perfectly in the story. His appearances in the story makes my hearts beat fast and cry in sadness. He has hooked my curiosity and my hunger for drama. I don't usually read this type of book but this one has been interesting, I think it's the only scary book that made me cry.
I recommend this book to whoever wants or is planning to read the book, those people that are interested in paranormal and thrillers, this book is good. I like the drama but not the paranormal scenes even though it's what made it interesting. Good book to read in the mornings in my opinion because this book made me scared of my own shadow at night or when I'm alone.

It must be some cosmically appropriate coincidence that Pavement's Slanted And Enchanted and the Beastie Boys' Check Your Head came out within a couple of days of each other. Slanted And Enchanted helped define one long-lasting strain of '90s underground culture: Obliquely smirky wit, sidelong guitar jams, the persistent sense that you couldn't tell whether somebody was making fun of you or not. But Check Your Head practically invented another, very different strain. In its genetic fusion of rap and punk and '70s stoner-culture and head-rush pop-cult referentialism, Check Your Head presented, fully-formed, a strain of skater/stoner culture that became a way of life for plenty of kids I knew in high school. In the years that followed, the Beasties and their armies of friends and admirers would flesh that idea out further and further, turning retro-dazed cool-kidism into an entire complete worldview — one that interacted uneasily with the Buddhism-inflected human-rights awakening the Beasties themselves would undergo a couple of years later. But Check Your Head presents that world in the ecstasy of birth: A purely impure artifact that sought to pull together a new idea of cool from whatever bits of cultural flotsam it could find. It succeeded beautifully.
The Beastie Boys had been on one hell of a roller-coaster before they settled into their Check Your Head groove. With License To Ill six years earlier, their goofy frat-rap joke had turned them into an international phenomenon, and they'd played a huge role in popularizing rap music, a genre that they were maybe a little bit sort of mocking. After a shitstorm of attention, they'd moved west, regrouped, and given the world Paul's Boutique, their absolute masterpiece, only to see it utterly brick commercially. Suddenly, they were faded stars, even though they were barely into their mid-'20s. And so the regrouped again, workshopping about five different entirely new sounds and then jumbling them all together on one album. That sense of jumble would become their lasting legacy, or the most important of their many lasting legacies. Check Your Head isn't their best album, but it may be their most essential and characteristic one.
And so: The album itself. It's aged remarkably well! The big news at the time was that they were playing their own instruments for the first time since their teenage hardcore-punk years. And they knew what they were doing there. The many instrumental Meters-funk tracks on Check Your Head are the best the band ever recorded. "Something's Got To Give" is gorgeously psychedelic space-funk, "Pow" rides a goofily great breakbeat and sticks its time changes, "Groove Holmes" floats like a butterfly. I've got a particular love for "Mark On The Bus," the War-style song-sketch about the career drudgery that the Beasties themselves never had to experience. Meanwhile, "Time For Livin'" scratches an old-school hardcore itch that must've been nearly a decade old, and it doesn't want for ferocity. And "Gratitude" maybe the unsung masterpiece of the album: A bongwater-soaked riff-rock trial run on "Sabotage," funky the same way Black Sabbath were funky when they recorded "The Wizard."
As far as the rap stuff goes, the Beasties, admittedly, were not in top form on Check Your Head; it was not a proud moment when Mike D rhymed "commercial" with "commercial." But I still like the album's raps; they get over on pure nerd-out energy. Maybe the Beasties weren't trying too hard when they were writing them, but maybe that's also sort of the point. And though the samples aren't as dazzlingly stitched-together as they were on Paul's Boutique, there's still a staggering amount of other people's music in there. The difference, this time, is that the samples don't sound like samples; they sound like sounds that have always existed together. This was the moment where the Beasties internalized their many, many influences and spit them back out whole. In the Spin Alternative Record Guide (the best book of music-writing ever, real talk), Rob Sheffield calls the Check Your Head-era Beasties "a funkier version of Ween or Unrest," which is ridiculous, but I get what he means. They had that same sense of homespun possibility, of friends fucking around in garages and trying out anything that crossed their minds. Worth noting: After Check Your Head came out, the Beasties toured with the Rollins Band and Cypress Hill as their openers. Those days, nobody did stuff like that. These days, a whole lot of people do it. Check Your Head changed things.
So what do you guys think? Favorite song from Check Your Head? Favorite memory? Did the stoner kids in your high-school come in from illicit lunchtime smoke-breaks to play the album on Walkman speakers in the hallway, rapping along with every word, the way mine did? And let's all watch some videos below.

Jerry Lewis completed his graduation from Irvington High School. He took his chances in the army but during World War II was rejected because of murmur in his heart. In his early years in music industry, Lewis gained fame by performing with legendary artist Dean Martin. He was part of the comedy team named Martin and Lewis. They were considered as unique comedians and were famous for their witty comedy during the 40's. Their skits were never planned and wholly relied on their interaction and coordination, which was better than any planned performance. They gained a huge fan base because of that.
Jerry Lewis and Martin started to make appearances on a number of shows over the television such as the Ed Sullivan Show, Welcome Aboard and The Colgate Comedy Hour. They were ensemble players in "My Friend Irma" in 1949 and also were a part of "My Friend Irma Goes West." They appeared in about fourteen Paramount titles in the coming years, the last appearance was in 1956 in "Hollywood or Bust." 1960 onwards the duo broke up and embarked on their respective to-be-successful solo careers. Although the two were at occasions seen in different live shows, they didn't perform together for a long time. In 1980, when Martin's son passed away, the two reconciled and made appearance at Las Vegas show where Lewis sang Dean a birthday song. In 1995, when Martin died, Lewis published a book titled "Dean & Me (A Love Story)." In the book he wrote all about their kinship and years together as performers.
Jerry Lewis embarked on a solo career in the 60s. He continued collaboration with Paramount Pictures and found great fame through his comic named "The Delicate Delinquent." In 60s when he was done with the Wallis contract, he started shooting a film with Paramount. His routine got very busy and in the mornings he would shoot the movie scenes and in the evening would perform live at hotels. The Bellboy came out later that year and was followed by The Ladies Man in 1961. He directed and co-wrote several other productions with Richmond as well. Famous productions include "The Patsy," "The Errand Boy" and "The Nutty Professor."
Apart from his film and television appearances, Jerry Lewis has also performed in musicals and live shows. He starred in 1976's Helizapoppin'. His Broadway debut was in Damn Yankees, a baseball musical that was choreographed by Rob Marshall. In the recent decades Lewis has appeared on and off over the television. Apart from his fame in native land, he is very famous all over Europe and a number of French critics appreciate his humor and work. He was awarded Legion d'honneur Award by the French minister. The name means "the favorite clown of French nation." Lewis signed contract with Capital Films and Artificial Intelligence Entertainment for remaking of his films from the 60s Cinderfella, The Bellboy and The Family Jews.
Jerry Lewis' musical version of "The Nutty Professor" ran for pre-Broadway tryouts for seven weeks until it opened finally. Jerry Lewis is still performing in several shows and brings his comedy to a live setup every now and then.

Hello, everyone! I am little late with the post today because the kids weren't feeling very well last night and I couldn't do my work on the usual time. Busy-busy!!!
Did you guys hear Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are getting divorced? I am not someone who follows celebrity life. In fact, I am one of the most private person you could meet and I don't have much interest on other people's lives. It's just not my thing… but hearing this made me so sad and I had to mention this with you. I honestly feel for their kids. I am sure Brad and Angie will move on, but divorce is really hard on the kids. Money, fame, these kind of things do not resolve any problems… sometimes it even aggravates them. I just hope they can prioritize the love for their children during this hard time.
Meanwhile, we go on with our lives, right? Not perfect as well, but we're doing our best. 🙂
It was really great having you here today! We'll talk again tomorrow!
with Love,
Interior Design Services within Your Budget

Hello, my Luciane!! I try to see all of your posts, and I usually get in 90% of them, as I get your posts via email AND I LOVE all of your post, as you know! ! Geez, for SO many many years now! 🙂 Anyway, I happened to see this and wanted to give my two cents about Brad and Angelina, since you mentioned them! I don't watch Extra or ET, nor buy the "magazines" so I don't follow the celebrities, as you said you do not either… However, I admit I DO like to hear about them! LOL! And I DID hear on my CNN email update that they are getting a divorce! (and I then looked it up…) Due to HIS cheating with his current co-star. Hmmm, isn't Karma a b*tch?? WELL, that's all I will say, from what happened years ago!! 😉 –gv xxoo
Hi Gloria…
Karma.. no kidding, eh?
It's always great hearing from you, my friend.
Enjoy your day!
Could you please give the source of the five mercury glass/gold dipped vases which are on the dining table? thank you
Wow, this lakeside cottage is honestly the prettiest home i've ever seen!! Totally my style, totally my dream! We are in the midst of building and I'm so excited to get inspirations from this. I have a few questions:
Where is the living room beige rug from? Could you give me the source for that?
Also, where can I find the carpet that is shown throughout the home?

Bitcoin Online Casinos
Bitcoins are digital coins that you can send to anybody on internet. Bitcoin is a popular cryptocurrency that was first created back in 2011, and this fee-free digital payment method allows you to make instant payments to friends, companies, and - yep, you guessed it - online casinos.
Bitcoin Online Casinos are just like regular casinos, aside from the fact they accept Bitcoin as a payment method - and on this page, you'll find out more about what Bitcoin Online Casinos are, and how exactly they work.
A Bitcoin Casino is the same as a normal casino but accepts Bitcoin crypto currency. Most of the Bitcoin Casinos will accept players from unregulated markets such as USA and Australia.
Bitcoin Casinos work in exactly the same way as normal online casinos do, with the sole difference being that transactions are carried out in Bitcoin. This means, when you head to the cashier (to deposit and withdraw), you'll see Bitcoin available as a payment method.
As long as you choose a Bitcoin Casino that's licensed, then you'll have no problems when you play.
When you head to the cashier section at the online casino of your choosing, you'll see that when you head to the deposit page, you'll be given a Bitcoin Wallet address. Simply send your Bitcoins to this address, and you'll see them credited to your online casino account in a matter of seconds!
Bitcoin Casinos are so popular thanks to the fact that deposits and withdrawals are instant. There's no credit card fees attached - and they're also heavily privacy-focused, allowing you to enjoy online gambling with the peace of mind that you're doing so in a safe and secure online environment.
This is largely dependant on the online casino you decide to play at. As a general rule of thumb, most online casinos features games from Betsoft, Endorphina, GameArt, and Softswiss - but some of the more reputable sites also offer games from more well-known game developers, including NetEnt, and Microgaming.
You can pay for goods and services with Bitcoins as well as gamble them in Bitcoin casinos worldwide.
Bitcoins can be sent via internet without holding a bank account (tax free!).
Bitcoin gambling through online casinos is the future of digital casino gambling.
Canadian, USA and Australian players can gamble with Bitcoins at any Bitcoin Online Casino listed below.

I've got nothing exciting to report this week. Or even barely interesting.
Didn't do much 'cause I was under the weather the last couple weekdays and this whole weekend. Not really sick. Just run down .
Because I hung around at home I got some serious work done on my screenplay, and you know what? It was lots of fun. If I didn't have to go into work tomorrow, I'd exercise in the morning and then happily spend the rest of the day parked at my desk, scribbling away.
It really has been too long since I've enjoyed telling a story. Maybe the trick is that screenplays don't get published, so I'm not worried about going indie or anything like that. And yes, I'm maintaining a silly fantasy of someday seeing my screenplay on the big screen. But I know it's a fantasy. Even a delusion. Doesn't matter.
What does matter is that I am now actually truly really having fun writing. I love how the characters and scenes are falling naturallly into place. Of course there'll be days ahead when I get literary constipation and will have to struggle. And sure, I'm only one-third of the way through this script. But I'm anxious to see how the story turns out.
And that's the jist of my little egotistical rant.
I hope all of you have a very productive writing week. Any short stories or novels or serials in the works? I'd love to hear about them.

Christmas has barely touched me yet. Except for two preparations:
Sloe Schnapps (don't let the Cork Dry Gin bottles fool you) and the Christmas Cake.
This is how they currently look. Tomorrow, I must write the Christmas letter 😦
Come back every few days to see if, and how, my Chrimbo preparations have progresses….
Moving on a little. Still no inspiration for the Christmas letter but the cake is developing slowly. The plan, in my head, is to make the cake look like a wrapped Christmas present with a bow…

Microsoft research: More than half of SMBs will maintain or increase IT spending this year
There are two big reasons Microsoft should be concerned about the health of small and midsize businesses: First, because many of its revenue dollars are tied up in this chunk of the commercial market. Second, many of channel partners happen to fall into this chunk of the U.S. business universe.
Microsoft Corporate Vice President Allison Watson, who runs the company's worldwide channel programs, is focused on finetuning her programs not just to help channel partners find opportunities in today's wacky market but also to help them keep their own businesses healthy at a time when accounts receivable are growing longer by the day and banks tighten up their lending criteria. Based on some comments on heard the other day about the accelerating pace of mergers and acquisitions and failures out there in channel-land, she is right to worry about whether the company will exist 2009 with the right channel capacity.
Earlier this year, Microsoft commissioned a study of more than 600 Microsoft Small Business Specialists in five different countries to help its entire small-business channel get a better handle on current market activity. The good news, which is published as part of its first Microsoft SMB Insight Report, is that 55 percent of small and midsize businesses (the ubiquitous SMB community we always hold up as the holy grail) will either maintain or increase their spending during the next seven months.
Just in case you were thinking that virtualization and IT consolidation were topics only for big enterprise accounts, the study found that more than half of the Small Business Specialists participating in the survey believed that virtualization and other consolidate measures were the key to helping their customers save money and therefore commit portions of their IT budgets to new projects.
This jibes with some anecdotal information I picked up earlier this year when I was studying the concept of virtualization for smaller companies. Turns out that many of you are jumping right in there with your smaller clients, not just because it can help your customer but because it makes things easier for you to manage over time.
CRM deployments were also seen as beneficial projects for SMB customers. Moreover, nearly 40 percent of the Microsoft Small Business Specialists expected an increase in business intelligence deployments. That one really bears some more investigation, because we all know what a bust BI has been among larger companies. Everyone KNOWS they want it, but the pain in getting it set up (especially when it comes to process change) is so great that few are willing to succumb. Especially now when they need it most.
The survey respondents also expected a 20 percent rise in the number of SMBs opting to use software as a service options for some of their applications.
Here's the link where you can pull down the complete study.
Watson offers a navigation through the data, along with some tips on how Microsoft partners can improve their own business practices in a Webcast. Here's a link to the archived version.

I see the world as a professional runner and all of my experiences in life are inextricably linked to my running. Running is the creative outlet of my being, the way that I identify with life and the way that I respond to it. I've long held a deep respect for those who see and interpret the world with originality. What artists Philip Guston and Jean-Michel Basquiat lived for in abstract expressionism, I live for in my running. I've approached running with this mindset over the years and have had some interesting success. I currently live and train in New York City, once home to the above mentioned abstract painters. Not unlike them, I live my art physically day in and day out. Running has become my purpose and its importance grows greater every day with each run. As it grows I have less tolerance or room for any complications that may deter me from reaching my goals. Training here has its challenges and difficulties that can be overwhelming for a runner at any level. Remarkably though, as an Olympian training in a metropolis, I don't succeed in spite of my urban surroundings, I thrive because of them. To the creative thinker the city can present the ideal training ground. Here are a few of my own interpretations or tips on how to use the urban environment to your advantage and achieve greater running success.
1. The streets are your canvas
When I run, the streets of New York are my canvas. I'm not limited by boundaries and I control time though my level of exertion and movement. If you can see running as art you will most likely enjoy it better and open yourself to many unseen opportunities. While running, enjoy the eccentric people, places, and experiences that an urban surrounding offers.
2. Make way
The main issue I face running in the city is the enormous amount of people I have to make my way through on a daily basis. Rather than get frustrated, I decided to use the problem to better my competitive running. Frustration and anxiety can be key contributors to a bad race performance. Leaving irritation behind, I learned to see other runners as training tools. The challenge is to keep your concentration and stay on an even pace while passing through them safely and quickly. This is a great exercise in focus, an intangible quality found in great competitors. Use the opportunity to learn to move fluidly and smoothly through the crowd without breaking pace or rhythm. You'll see improvements in races when running from the back of the pack.
3. Step it up
Most city dwellers, myself included, have small apartments. There is little or no room for weight equipment. We also have to deal with the constant stop-and-go of the street lights while out on runs. To deal with both of these problems, I'll use a crosswalk sign for pull-ups or a stairway for step-ups while waiting for the lights to change. This works great and saves time. Stretching at lights is the logical alternative to an impromptu weight routine, but it's just too mundane for my liking.
4. See the light
Traffic lights are on timers and change over at exactly the same pace day in and day out. I usually run the same route out and back to Central Park for my easy days. I know how long it takes me to get to certain intersections and when the lights will change upon my arrival. I pay attention to the details so if I get to a stop light too late and it turns to red, I know I'm having an off day. This way I can determine how fatigued I am from a previous workout day. I don't have a coach here to do a physical status check so this is very helpful.
The overall idea is to get creative and make up your own thing. Use grocery bags on your walk home from the store to do some arm curls. Walk or run the stairs to your apartment or your office. Whatever it takes, the possibilities in the city are endless and opportunity abounds. See and approach running in your own unique way. Then maybe someday you'll reach the next level of success, win some prize money and have your chance to bow like this.

Cat Head Biscuit?
The other week we got our copy of Cook's Country and lo and behold a recipe for cat's head biscuits!
Sunday morning my husband and myself baked up a batch and they are super delicious. The size of our cat's head, and light and fluffy.
It seems the secret to getting your biscuits cat head size was to scoop the dough into the pan with a 1/2 cup measuring cup. You can probably try this super scoop with your regular biscuit recipe. but I can heartily recommend the Cook's Country one for a great biscuit. I'm thinking I might try some with raisins for a kind scone like concoction (proper English scones are more like what our American friends call biscuits than scones a lot of the time), or sprinkle some with sugar for strawberry shortcake. Either way I'm baking up cat head size from now on!
3 comments:
I'm glad you tried them! I'll have to get a copy of the recipe from you (that link doesn't work, unfortunately, unless you pay to access the web site -- that drove me crazy when I had the mag AND the books AND they still wanted me to pay more for the site. argh!)ReplyDelete
Ah that's a bummer, but I can send you a copy no problem. Perfect for Saturday morning biscuits!ReplyDelete
We got a load of the books through in the mail yesterday after you had said about them, so many great looking recipes! I'm picking up some Jello today to make the stained glass cake from the 2009 book, it looks so festive. (and then a strawberry pie that looks vegan-able for some vegan friends on Saturday)
Cool! I love the books -- really, I need to go through them again, we need some new dinner ideas.ReplyDelete

Thrifting wars
You ever go shopping at a thrift store and loose your mind? Ever seen another customer in the aisle you've been in for 10 mins who waltzes right in and finds the thing you've been looking for? That truly erks my soul. Now, you turn into a stalker, relentlessly eyeballing and following the customer around hoping that she changes her mind and no longer wants that boyfriend blazer, or palazzo pants you've been searching for. And you know the items are just your size. Aaarrrgghh.. I went thrifting bright and early last Saturday and I took my time and scanned all the aisles. And then, this lil skinny thing breezes past me and picks up a brand new pair of brown Oxford boots. Brand new!!!! I stared her down, but didn't want to seem obvious so, I said
oh wow, those shoes look really
horriblecute on you, what size are they?
She told me they were a size 6. Son of a…. Just my size. I was thinking in my mind, this is war!!!! I followed her, watched her, and mentally tried to will her to put those oxfords back, but to know avail. This is one thrifting war that I lost. So it's Saturday again.. And I'm headed out to search for some cheap yet, fabulous items. And hopefully today, I don't have to stalk anybody. Because I am prepared for war.. Lol..
I will post pics later of what I'm wearing. Check out these photos in the mean time of items I've lost in the war:

Pragmatics and Semantics
Pragmatics on the other hand is concerned with how the context affects meaning.
I understand from the readings that even though a sentence can be grammatically correct, well formed syntactically and have a perfectly understandable structure; it may not be true in certain contexts.
I could say, for instance that, "Yesterday was my wife's birthday." Semantically you would understand that yesterday there was a birthday, and it was my wife who was celebrating it. This is perfectly fine, but her actual birthday is in June, and not yesterday. In this context, the statement's 'Truth Conditions' are false. However, if I were in a classroom demonstrating the simple past tense and using this declarative statement as an example of a set phrase, even though the truth conditions are still not true, it is still quite a valid statement to make, as the context has now changed. In this instance, we can see the relationship between 'Pragmatics and Semantics', if only in a basic way. Semantics needs context to establish the acceptability of a sentence within a certain environment. Grasping this relationship, it is quite possible to apply our understandings to a language learning environment. We can help students, by setting up meaningful contexts for the phrases they learning.
Context plays an extremely important role in avoiding ambiguity. Take for example the newspaper headline, "Teacher strikes idle kids" (Sanderson, P., (1999), Using Newspapers in the Classroom, Cambridge University Press). Anyone reading this headline (without being given the story that goes along with it) may be a little confused, as it can be perceived in two ways. Ambiguity is a great source of confusion, at least with many of my students. This can in turn lead to negative feelings toward the task at hand.
I believe that context also helps a student make use of existing deep lexical networks. Knowing the context of a unit that we are studying can help us anticipate what lexical items will unveil themselves. Just as in the textbook, knowing the word cat, we start thinking of mouse. Well if we know that today's lesson is about food, we can use our existing knowledge and experiences to visualize food items and create a receptive framework for new words and phrases related to food. A textbook that does this well is the Tactics for Listening series, by Jack C. Richards. It sets up the context in the beginning of a unit, then slowly and progressively introduces phrases and vocabulary.
Pragmatics helps develop a framework for understanding and along with Semantics allows us to make sense of new and unfamiliar words and phrases. What do you think?

Kermode bear is a black bear from British Columbia, which is not black, but white as demonstrated in this photo (linked from National Geographic (NG) story about these bears).
The story also explains the genetic mechanism behind this coloring. It is a type of autosomal recessive gene, where white color is seen only in animals carrying two copies of the white allele (gene type). NG story tried to demonstrate this with the following graphic (again linked from the National Geographic (NG) story about these bears). However, they did one pretty annoying flaw. Why did not they draw two circles in each bear representing two gene copies each animal carries? This would be the most natural way to boost this graphics! They should have used two circles with black and white color. Bears would be white only if they would carry two white circles and black otherwise. In addition it would be nice to add also a mating between two animals carrying each two black genes.

Kim Powell on Acting Like a CEO
"CEO" can seem like a venerated title but the people occupying those positions are less intimidating than you might think. Maybe don't march into their office unannounced and start chatting today, but CEOs are people who make mistakes and have weak spots, just like anyone. Kim Powell, along with her co-author Elena L. Botelho, interviewed thousands of CEOs and other leaders to get to understand the behaviors of those in leadership positions. She shares their findings with us and in her new book The CEO Next Door.
Kim R. Powell grew up in Atlanta, and earned a BA from the University of Notre Dame and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management. Over the last twenty years, Kim has applied her passion for helping people to her role as a trusted advisor to CEOs and high potential leaders, first at the Boston Consulting Group and now at ghSMART.

Wednesday, August 29, 2001
Press release from the issuing companyPEWAUKEE, Wis. Aug. 28, 2001--Quad/Graphics and Weider Publications, Inc., have entered into a five-year print contract valued at more than $100 million. The contract calls for the production of all seven of Weider's magazine titles and fortifies the publisher's 10-year relationship with Quad/Graphics. "We awarded all our titles to Quad/Graphics based on service quality and our long-standing, good relationship,'' said John Hartung, Vice President of Manufacturing for Weider Publications, Inc. Under the terms of this contract, Quad/Graphics will print and distribute the following publications, as well as provide imaging services (except for Natural Health). - Flex, the bible of hardcore bodybuilders, which prints 325,000 copies monthly. - Fit Pregnancy, a popular title featuring information on pre- and post-natal healthcare, nutrition, fashion and more, which is produced six times per year. Print runs total 720,000 per issue. - Men's Fitness, produced monthly, focuses on all aspects of living a healthy lifestyle. Print runs total 750,000 per issue. - Muscle & Fitness, the company's flagship title, is produced monthly. Print runs total 870,000 per issue. - Muscle & Fitness Hers, the newest Weider title, which is published bimonthly. Print runs total 450,000 per issue. - Natural Health, known as "The Guide to True Wellness,'' which is produced nine times per year. Print run totals 450,000 per issue. While the title has been around for 30 years, Weider Publications has only owned the title for three years. Quad/Graphics began printing the magazine in March 2001. - SHAPE, which is for women with an active lifestyle, boasts a print run of 2.2 million copies monthly. Quad/Graphics and Weider began their relationship in 1991 with the production of the publisher's four biggest titles: Flex, Men's Fitness, Muscle & Fitness and SHAPE. Over the past decade, as the publisher grew and launched or acquired new titles, Quad/Graphics took on the new work as well as introduced the publisher to new technological advances. In 1997, for example, Quad/Graphics helped Weider adopt a digital imaging workflow, eliminating the painstaking (and sometimes unreliable) procedure of shipping film scans. More recently, the printer has begun transitioning Weider titles to wide-web press technology, which produces more pages per press run and compresses the manufacturing schedule.

BREMERTON, Wash. — Deputies and volunteers searched Monday for a 6-year-old girl who disappeared from her Washington home and wasn't reported missing for a day, while state child welfare workers removed two other children from the residence. Child Protective Services took an 8-year-old boy and 12-year-old girl from the home Monday morning, Kitsap County Deputy Scott Wilson said. Meanwhile, three dozen searchers were looking for Jenise Paulette Wright, including two tracking canines and a cadaver dog, he said, adding that the Department doesn't suspect an abduction.
Jenise was last seen Saturday night when she went to bed. Her family noticed her missing Sunday morning but didn't become worried and call for help until that night because she had left the home on previous occasions and wandered around the neighborhood. The family felt it was relatively safe because it's a fenced property, Wilson said.

A whole load of appropriately grainy 'leaked' pictures of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 7 have been uploaded to Weibo, showing off a handset that looks like it could be the Galaxy S7 Edge's dad. Unless, of course, the person holding it's got really small hands.
Samsung this week sent out invitations for its August 2nd launch event (4pm UK time), confirming the phone's name in the process. A curved-screen model is definitely on its way, but we're not entirely sure if there's a flat version coming too.
The company hasn't spilled all the beans yet of course, but reports suggest the smartphone will be a 5.7-incher, with a QHD display, 64GB of expandable storage and a 12-megapixel dual camera setup. It's likely to be extremely expensive though, and we've heard very little so far about improvements to the S Pen.
Brace yourselves for several weeks of heavy speculation. [Weibo via Slashgear]

PSG president Al-Khelaifi criticises referee in Napoli draw as he demands VAR
Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi can't wait for the implementation of the video assistant referee [VAR] system in the Champions League after he claimed a string of errors contributed to the 1-1 draw with Napoli.
After Juan Bernat had given the visitors the lead in Naples, Lorenzo Insigne equalised from the penalty spot though replays later showed that Jose Callejon was offside in the build-up.
The French champions were then adamant they should have been awarded a penalty when Bernat was upended in the area after 70 minutes, but referee Bjorn Kuipers waved away the appeals.
And at full-time whistle Al-Khelaifi was left frustrated with Kuipers - who also booked Neymar for dissent - and the team of officials for a series of costly mistakes.
"We came here to win this game," he told RMC Sport. "Unfortunately, we drew. It's not bad, we're still here [alive in the group].
"We will have to win our last two games to qualify. Of course there is an offside [for Napoli's goal] and there is certainly a penalty [apparent foul on Bernat], but we will accept it.
"VAR's needed as quickly as possible. We lost two points because of two errors by the referee."
VAR is used across every Ligue 1 fixture but will not be introduced in the Champions League until the 2019-20 season.
Meanwhile, with Liverpool losing to Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday, the draw in Italy took Napoli top of Group C and leaves PSG third and with work to do to reach the round-of-16.
PSG host Jurgen Klopp's side on November 28th in a key game in the context of the group and Al-Khelaifi has backed Thomas Tuchel's side to prevail.
"Now we will play against Liverpool at home, it will be a great match," he added. "We have to focus on it.
"The coach is doing a very good job, I am very happy. We had no luck tonight. We did what we wanted and we cannot change the result."
