No charges against HPD officer who killed double amputee in a wheelchair
A grand jury has declined to bring criminal charges against a Houston police officer who fatally shot a double amputee in a wheelchair last fall, a shooting that spawned nationwide criticism and renewed calls locally for more accountability of law enforcement.
HPD officer Matthew Marin shot and killed Brian C. Claunch on Sept. 22, after the mentally ill man threatened his partner with a ball point pen, police have said.
A Harris County grand jury empaneled in the 176th District Court decided on Monday not to indict the officer, said Julian Ramirez, the assistant Harris County district attorney who is chief of the Civil Rights Division.
HPD Chief Charles McClelland declined to comment, citing a continuing investigation by the department's internal affairs division into the shooting, said spokesman John Cannon.
In December, McClelland confirmed he asked the U.S. Justice Department to review Claunch's shooting, the beating of teenaged burglar Chad Holley and the July 2011 arrest of a 16-year-old robbery suspect who, although handcuffed, was punched in the face by an HPD officer. The Justice Department later requested information from HPD on three additional cases, including the fatal shooting last July of unarmed immigrant Rufino Lara and the force used in the arrests of two other residents.
Claunch's death also prompted members of the Greater Houston Coalition for Justice to ask U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to accelerate the group's earlier request to investigate "patterns and practices" of civil rights violations by HPD against minorities and others.
Since the shooting, Marin has been assigned to administrative duties at HPD's property room facility, Cannon said.
'An objective eye'
Randall Kallinen, a Houston attorney and civil rights activist, said the officer should have been punished more severely.
"Shooting an unarmed individual, a double amputee in a wheelchair, should be considered excessive force," he said. "The city of Houston lacks a system to effectively track use of force, resulting in no discipline for officers involved in excessive force incidents, thereby encouraging further instances of excessive force."
Amin Alehashem, staff attorney for the Texas Civil Rights Project in Houston, said the grand jury's action was not surprising given a precedent of clearing police officers who shoot civilians.
"The recent trend has always been, as far as I know, that police who shoot unarmed individuals claim some sort of credible threat and after some sort of investigation an overwhelming majority - more than 99 percent - have been exonerated," Alehashem said.
However, Ramirez said "our office brought an objective eye to this set of facts, reviewed the police investigation, did some of our own investigation, presented it all to the grand jury and they made their decision."
Tragic, unfortunate
Claunch, 45, who had a long history of schizophrenia and arrests, was placed at the Healing Hands Assisted Home Care group facility on the city's eastside. His caregivers called 911 around 2 a.m. Sept. 22 after Claunch became agitated when he was not given a cigarette and a soft drink.
Marin said Claunch backed his partner into a bedroom corner with his wheelchair and attempted to stab him with a shiny object that turned out to be a pen, according to HPD's account of the shooting.
Ray Hunt, president of the Houston Police Officers Union, called the shooting tragic and unfortunate but said Marin had acted appropriately in a situation where Claunch could not be controlled by his caregivers.
"Officer Marin is relieved this is finally behind him," Hunt said. "He's very pleased his actions were shown to be justified as he knew they would be."
He added: "Anytime an unarmed person is shot by the police, it is extremely unfortunate, but again officers are making split-second decisions on what they're seeing taking place."
Defamation suit
In October 2009, reports show, Marin fatally shot a knife-wielding man. That man had killed a neighbor and injured his girlfriend when Marin fired at him.
Marin also was involved in a controversial 2008 case of an alleged assault of the father of Green Bay Packer Donald Driver. Marin and two other officers were cleared by an internal investigation and later filed a defamation lawsuit against community activist Quanell X and Marvin Driver Jr. for what they said were false statements about the arrest.
A Harris County grand jury declined to indict Driver on a charge of filing a false report after he accused the three police officers of beating him during a traffic stop. The grand jury also considered, but voted against indicting the officers for official oppression.

Geico Gecko voice-over by Jake Wood
It's been a while coming, but the news is now out that the new voice of Geico Gecko, in a hybrid Cockney London style, is Jake Wood, English comedian and actor. Read on for an exploration of the new Cockney accent, a background on Jake and a taste of the new commercials.
Jake Wood
Jake started his television work at the age of thirteen, with a role as Little John in medieval movie The Rose and the Sword (aka Flesh and Blood) in 1985. Last month, Jake started his new role as Max Branning in the English television series, EastEnders. In between he's appeared as Jurka in The Illusionist (2006), Emil Maurice in Uncle Adolf (2005), Dresler in The Aryan Couple (2004), Detective Sergeant Pete Ainsworth in Lenny Blue TV series (2002), Tough Love TV Series (2000), Doug Wilson in The Wilsons (2000) and Kill Crazy in Red Dwarf (1999).
Geico Gecko Accents
In the Gecko's Blog, there's a post on the accent on April 27:
A lot of people are writing to me asking, "What's up with your accent?" Some people say I sound like an Aussie from "down under." (After all, geckos are found all over the world.) Others say it sounds like an East End London, or Cockney, accent. Cockneys are considered working-class inhabitants of London. According to tradition, the strict definition is limited to those born within earshot of the bells of St. Mary-le-Bow, a historic church in the City of London. I think I'd agree that my voice does sound a bit like an East End London accent. Some of you write to ask why I have an accent. Others want to know why it is that accent. I dunno; I guess everybody has to sound like something. It would certainly be hard to get the word out about GEICO making the "clicking" sound many geckos make. Isn't it enough that you know a talking gecko, especially one who can help you save on car insurance? Despite (or maybe because of) the controversy, I seem to be making a lasting impression. As for me, I'm not concerned with geography or nationality. I'll just continue to "accent" the savings with GEICO!
Now for the record, the Geico Gecko has been voiced by Kelsey Grammar (the stiff English accent), Richard Steven Horvitz (the voice in the Kung Fu Fighting spot), and Dave Kelly (the relaxed British-Aussie accent).
Recent Geico Gecko Commercials
Three of the eight commercials featuring Jake Wood's voice are featured at Framestore New York, the company responsible for the visual effects. The spots were created at The Martin Agency, Richmond, Virginia, by Steve Bassett, Joe Lawson and Ken Hines, and produced by Kerry Berkbigler Ayers. Animations and filming was directed by Speck/Gordon, Furlined, with producer David Thorne. Lead CG Animator/Effects Supervisor at Framestore CFC was Dave Hulin, with producer Sarah Dowland.
The three spots feature the Geico Gecko recruiting fellow small reptiles as sales reps for Geico Insurance.
Big News
People who visit Geico.com could save hundreds on car insurance. Yeah? Which is big news. Yeah? But not if noone hears it. Which is why I need to help spread the word. Otherwise our big news is nothing but a stray little fact, a wee orphan of truth, wandering the streets looking for a home in someone's ear. I knew it was here.
'oy check this right. Three million drivers switched to Geico last year yeah? I'm telling you this, why? Because I want you to help spread the word. Bloke hears that number he's quite impressed. He's like "Three million! That's a lot of people. Why wasn't I invited?". Then you're like, "Of course you're invited". So he stops by Geico.com and he gets his free great quote. OK. Sure. It's not a real party, it's a web site but at least now the fellow's done his homework.
Look here's the deal. When you talk about Geico.com you want to communicate three things. Easy to use. No middle man. Could save you hundreds on car insurance. Other than that just sort of be personable. Yeah the old "Nice weather i'n't it? Cup of tea? That's be lovely! How's your mum? Cheers. (The lizard licks its eyeball). I'd stick with the small talk mate. Theatrics. Might come across as a bit cheesy.
Why a Gecko?
Because a Gecko can be trusted…

TANYA REINHART: The answer is that Israel is an apartheid regime now what was the question again?
Land for apartheid: The Camp David Summit
ZNET, 15 July 2000
Barak went to the summit with a magic formula: 10-90. 10 percent annexation, and in the rest - a Palestinian state. No previous Israeli plan ever offered so much land to the Palestinians. Where do these numbers come from?
The newspapers of March uncover the mystery. The current plan was formed then, but was postponed due to the Syria and Lebanon events. "State for annexation", said the main title of Haaretz on 10.3.00, and the subtitle explained: "The prime minister's 10-40-50 plan - 50 percent of the west bank for the Palestinians, 40 percent under debate, and 10 percent to Israel". The plan includes a third redeployment which will increase the A area from 42 to 50 percent, in which the Palestinians will be able to declare a state with a capital in Abu Dis.
"The proposal will leave the status of about 40 percent of the west bank unresolved as well as Jerusalem and the right of return", said the text. Meaning, in return for his consent to the formal annexation of the whole center of the west bank by Israel, Arafat will be allowed to declare a Palestinian state on 50 percent of the west bank, and to sell to his people that the rest of the problems are still being discussed.
The plan itself is all too well known: it is one of the versions of the Alon plus plan, or the Sharon plan, which robs the Palestinians of half of the west bank lands. (The "debated" 40 percent are lands which have already been confiscated from their Palestinian owners since 1967). The only real thing in this plan is that 10 percent will be annexed now, and, thus, will finalize the disconnection northern half from the southern half of the west bank for good.
What changed since March is only the packaging. 90-10 sounds a lot more convincing than 50-40-10. Instead of emphasizing the debated 40 percent, vague ideas about "leasing, for now" are thrown in the air, and to enable Arafat to sell this to his people, these areas are not distinguished by a different color in the published maps. With the right propaganda tricks, any product can be sold these days.
Then why is the rightwing so alarmed? Why would they mind it if Barak will manage to annex 10% and implement Sharon's plan? The fringe rightwing always objects to any plan that leaves the Palestinians with any amount of their land. In their eyes, transfer is the only solution. But the rest are also victims of propaganda, just like the "peace camp": in Barak's single ruler system, nobody can ever know what exactly he is planning, and when he is telling the truth. Now that he is selling the 90-10 story, how can they be sure that he is lying?
In any case, the crisis with the right is only helping Barak implement his annexation plan: in the world he is depicted as the hero of peace, and to the Palestinians he clarifies that this is the last chance: that if they won't give up now the center of the west bank once and for all, he will have to give in to "his people's pressure" and send tanks to the territories. The 1000 injured of the Nakba day events are nothing compared to what will be in the next round.
Furthermore, as long as the right is protesting, Barak can be sure that when the next round will come, the Israeli "peace camp" will be on his side, as it is now.
Ordered from above, just like in Syria and Iraq, the peace demonstrators are marching in support of the leader. Many of them were, until 1993, among the objectors of the occupation and believed that its end requires the dismantling of the settlements and return of all confiscated lands. But today they gather to convince the world, the Palestinians and themselves that it is possible to establish a Palestinians state without land-reserves, without water, without a glimpse of a chance of economic independence, in three ghettos surrounded by fences, settlements, bypass roads and Israeli tanks.
A virtual state which serves one purpose: separation - apartheid. "We are here and they are there" - behind the fences, as Barak put it.
Don't the hands tremble when they hold signs supporting Barak, who is responsible for the 1000 injured on Nakba day, and promises to do it again? Didn't the hands of the Hadash (the Communist Party) and Arab PMs tremble when all of them, except for Azmi Bishara's, were raised to vote confidence in Barak, the same Barak who ignored every promise he made to the Israeli Arabs, who is exercising now the land confiscations at Ein-Mahl in order to enlarge The Jewish section of Nazareth? Unlike the religious Shas, Hadash doesn't even need to be bribed. It can always be trusted to continue, even for free, to convince us that apartheid actually means a Palestinian state.

January 1999 - Newsletter 60
Tis a wonderment to me, 1999 is upon us; the era of the Euro. It s a pity they didn't ask us Dorset folk before they went and called their new currency after them things on yer head that you hear with. I have had two for many years now and let me tell you they are worth far more than 71p each. Sat at my desk I can hear a robin outside singing for all he s worth. I know they are argumentative little devils and he s only claiming his territory, but he certainly has a beautiful song. What is more he keeps going all night. I came home after the New Years knees- Up at 3 a.m. and there he was still giving it what ho!. Happy New Year Mr Robin and good luck to you.
This arrived a couple of weeks before Christmas and once again Matt Seattle at Dragonfly Music has done a splendid job combining the words, music, guitar chords and Julian Goodey s superb cartoons. I sold a goodly batch of them over the festive season and then hit a snag. My next door neighbour bought one and found that he had 2 page l s and no page 3 (no page 3, what would Sun readers say?) and of course the same sort of arrangement occurs at the back. Fortunately there only seems to be a few samples like this about so if you were unlucky enough to buy one please send it back to the P0 Box and I will refund the postage and send you a proper one. I shall then prevail upon the printer to refund us.
We shall be recording another CD/Cassette for Grasmere Music in The Digby Hall, Sherborne on Friday, 19th March. The project requires at least 250 volunteers to come along in the evening and sing their little hearts out. This is the way we went about 'The Singingalong' album a few years ago and the resultant mass choir was tremendous. Songs such as 'Jack Was Every Inch A Sailor' and 'Captain Swing' will be on the menu so a good gutsy performance and a pound of throat sweets would seem to be the order of the day. Tickets are free and if you would like to be involved drop us a line. Whisperers and mime artists need not apply. Perhaps I should employ the aforementioned robin if he will leave his tree for the evening.
For years we have been trying to book Fred for our Christmas concerts in Sherborne and this year we finally succeeded only for Somerset's oldest swinger to have a heart attack a couple of weeks before the shows. It was obviously necessary that he cancel and The Amazing Mr Smith stepped in at the last minute to rescue us. Fred is OK and well on the road to recovery. We wish him well and look forward to working with him at The Octagon Theatre in Yeovil on Sunday 25th April and at this years wing dings in Sherborne on the 10th and 11th of December.
HALSWAY MANOR WEEKEND 26-28th February
There are 2 bedrooms available in bed and breakfast accommodation near Halsway for this singing, dancing, friendly weekend. The great advantage of going B & B is that you don't have to see The Yetties first thing in the morning, it's not a pretty sight. For those who can't come for the whole weekend we are doing a concert on the Saturday Night in the ball room. Tickets and information from Halsway Manor. Tel: 01984 618274

Research Inventory
by Terry Winchester
Have you ever found yourself scouring through records online, such as at http://www.ancestry.com/ or at the Family History Library Catalog at http://www.familysearch.org/, and come across records that sound familiar, but you can't decide on whether or not you've already searched some of those records? Or, perhaps you've been in the process of looking through material, and discover only after a good amount of time spent, that you've already searched that particular source? We always want to avoid the duplication of research by others, but how often do we duplicate our own research? I know I've looked at the same records several times, only to discover that I had already searched them, and only after some serious time spent on the record, something shows up that reminds me that I've already been there.
Information on the internet is being updated on a daily basis, and somehow, we've got to remember where we've been and what we've done in order to avoid wasting time. And it's not confined to the internet, either. Our own TSGS is constantly buying new books and material, and in order to save time and, frustration, it helps to know what you've already looked at in the enormous amount of material at Willard Library.
Well, I found a solution that, at least, works for me. I call it my Research Inventory Sheet. For each county that I'm interested in, I create a form, and make an entry for each record relating to that county, that I've searched, be it in book or microfilm form. Here's how I do it. In Microsoft Excel, I create my own form, with column headers, as follows: Title, Author, Publisher/Location, Result. I think the headers are pretty well self explanatory, but I'll explain a bit. TITLE is obvious. Under PUBLISHER/LOCATION, I'll list everything about who published the material, and where and when I found it. If it's a book that I found at the Library, I'll include the Call#. Under RESULT, I simply list, in summary, what was found, and any notes that I may need to find the entire contents of the record which I have filed in my own filing system. Of course, at the top of the page, I allow for an entry as to County of Research and Surname(s).

EDUonGo let me build a customized learning environment that meets my needs, amplifying the flipped learning lessons and increasing students' ownership of their learning.
Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) December 10, 2013
EDUonGo, Inc., a company that enables anyone to launch an academy and share knowledge, provides the intuitive, simple and personalized learning environment needed to support flipped learning in the classroom. More than 300 schools and educators utilize EDUonGo to create customized learning environments to match the unique needs of each class, instructor and student.
Tom Driscoll, a social studies teacher at Putnam High School in Putnam, Conn., turned to EDUonGo in 2012 after recognizing the need for a learning platform that would help him effectively implement Flipped Mastery —a flipped learning model—in his classroom. He wanted a platform that could encourage collaboration and communication among students.
"After trying several learning platforms that failed to deliver the flexibility I needed for my students, I connected with the team at EDUonGo," said Driscoll. "My goal was to use one system to create a collaborative online environment, as well as incorporate elements of game-based learning. EDUonGo let me build a customized learning environment that meets these needs, amplifying the flipped learning lessons and increasing students' ownership of their learning."
While many schools incorporate flipped learning for one or two classes, Clintondale High School in Clinton, Mich., is the first school to implement for all grades. After incorporating the model in 2011, Clintondale's principal, Greg Green, recognized the need for a robust learning platform to support his flipped learning initiative. Like Driscoll, Green tried many platforms before choosing EDUonGo.
"Our students responded really well to the flipped learning model, but I knew that was just the beginning," said Green. "I needed to take flipped learning to the next level and make it a real success at our school. I knew that in order to do so, additional resources would be necessary. With EDUonGo we are receiving a straightforward, intuitive platform for teachers to create the collaborative and customized learning environments necessary to generate higher-level thinking and participation among students."
A case study detailing the successful incorporation of EDUonGo into Driscoll's social studies classroom at Putnam High School is available for download at: http://eduongo.com/v2/website/web/flip_your_school/.

Worst experience ever. Ordered on 16/08/2017 and estimated ship date was 21/08/2017, it's 06/09/2017 now and there is still no info when item will be shipped. Tried to contact pixels.com twice via contact form, no answer. Charger supposed to be gift for my father's birthday on 09/09/2017 but you managed to ruin it. Since I tried to contact You via contact form, and got no result. I hope that you'll read this comment and return me my money, since you failed to deliver product which is now useless to me because you weren't able to provide any info for couple of weeks

Brighten someone's day with photo Christmas cards this year. Your friends and family will adore these colorful cards that feature one, two, three or more of your favorite photos. Start browsing this stylish collection and order your favorite today.
Oops! You've narrowed your search a little too much! Clear your search and try again.
One Moment Please
It's one of the things that makes these greetings so very special and so in selecting great photos for Christmas or holiday cards you do want to take your time and make your selection carefully. This is your time to shine and to show the world how beautiful your family is or use pictures to show what you have been doing all year long. The right picture when carefully selected can really do a lot to bring life into the card itself and make the readers feel truly special and like they are a part of your every day.
So if you are going for a family photo, be sure to plan it out in advance. This can be particularly important if including children or pets as they don't always cooperate on cue. Try snapping these photos at a few special occasions or planned sessions throughout the year so that you have a couple of options to choose from. Then be sure that you can adjust the photo to fit the card, background, or nature of the card itself. This is how you ensure that you have plenty to pick from when selecting great photos for your Christmas cards.
These can even be candid photos from the year that has passed by and sometimes that works even better. Though some people think that you need the baby doing something special, it is often the simplest and most unrehearsed pictures that get the most attention. Try being natural or just putting some simple personality into the picture so that people can see what you and your family are all about.
As you go to work selecting great photos for the very best holiday cards just keep it personalized and special. You can even do a mini collage from the year that has passed if you want some nice homage to share. Feature your family, things that you have done, people that you have seen, or whatever is special to you all. This can really help to paint a picture and that's what these great cards are all about in the end.

Most athletes have the benefit of seeing what's ahead of them — an opponent, the bars, a vault.
But for 13-year-old Lola Walters, she usually has no idea what's coming until she's literally five feet away from it.
Walters, a Washington resident, is legally blind, and suffers from a disease called nystagmus which causes her eyes to shift constantly, leaving her with double vision and no depth perception, the Daily Mail reports.
"Most people I compete with don't know I am any different to them," Walters told the news source. "And as far as I'm concerned it can stay that way. If they don't know, they don't need to score me differently."
The teen impressed audiences at the American Gymnastics Academy Long Beach Open earlier this year.
Lola's mother, Beth, says that her daughter has been a gymnast since she was three — climbing across the monkey bars with ease. It wasn't until she was already enrolled in gymnastics that Beth realized the extent of Lola's vision problems, and by that point, Lola was already a good gymnast, King5.com reports.
"I don't know what it would be like to do gymnastics with perfect vision," Walters told King5.com, "so really, I don't see a difference."
Lola's disability does cause her to fall more than others during a performance, ABC reports.
But that just means she gets back up more often, and tries again.
"She works twice as hard as everybody else,"Jackie Crooker, Lola's gymnastics coach, told ABC, "and I've seen her fall harder than anybody, and she'll get up and go again, every single time.

Broadway Malls
Broadway Malls - 110th to 122nd Streets
This section of the Broadway Malls runs through the neighborhood of Morningside Heights. The City first acquired the land for Broadway, or Bloomingdale Road, as it was once known, in 1855. Bloomingdale Road was a major thoroughfare connecting the Dutch village of Bloomingdale, located near West 90th Street, to Lower Manhattan. From 1867 to 1869, Bloomingdale Road was redesigned, and in 1869, the new "Boulevard" opened, modeled after the Champs Elysées in Paris. Intended to raise area property values and employ workers laid off by the completion of Central Park, the Boulevard featured a 160-foot-wide right-of-way, twin rows of elm trees on each 15-foot sidewalk, and 30-foot-wide landscaped medians with broad walk-through malls.
In 1890 the street, in poor condition, was repaved with asphalt. At this time, the Boulevard began to develop fashionable hotels and apartments, and during the 1890s, it was a favorite route of bicycle riders. In 1892, Columbia University purchased the grounds of the Bloomingdale Asylum for the Insane, located between 114th and 120th Streets, moving its campus from midtown Manhattan to a part of the City that was rather remote at the time. The noted architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White designed many of the buildings, including Low Library (1895), now a designated City landmark. Teacher's College moved its facilities to 120th Street in 1894 and Barnard, the independent all-female affiliate of Columbia, moved its campus across the street from the school in 1897. The Malls also overlook the striking gothic architecture of the Union Theological Seminary, the Hebrew Theological Seminary, and the Manhattan School of Music.
In 1899, the road was formally named Broadway. The malls as they appear today were established in 1904 after cut-and-cover construction on the IRT subway line removed the original malls. The Manhattan Valley Viaduct, also a designated City landmark, carries the subway from 122nd to 135th Street, and had the effect of further increasing building in the neighborhoods of Manhattanville and Hamilton Heights. The subway station at 110th Street is landmarked, as well, and Cathedral Parkway was once under the jurisdiction of Parks.
Parks gained jurisdiction over the malls in 1908 and the malls were redesigned by Samuel Parsons, Jr. (1844-1923) and planted up to 110th Street. The new design enclosed the malls with an iron fence and furnishing and setting of curb, excavating materials, furnishing and depositing in place top soil, erecting ornamental iron fences, furnishing and laying sod, installing a water supply system, and paving the ends of the parks with asphalt tiles.
The malls were broader before IRT construction, although this renovation added sitting areas located at the intersections along Broadway. Subway vents were installed at this time up to 137th Street and some of the original wrought-iron fences still surround them. The 1915 Parks Annual Report noted that fixing the fences damaged by collisions with automobiles and wagons along Broadway and Park Avenue kept four blacksmiths busy almost every day of the year.
In 1935, under Commissioner Robert Moses (1888-1981), Parks relandscaped the malls, filling each section with trees and shrubs. In 1972, a group of West Side park advocates formed the Broadway Mall Association, which eventually attained non-profit status and which now raises significant funds for the care of the Malls. Starting in 1979, Parks teamed with the Broadway Mall Association to renovate the malls, a project that added new shrubs, ivy, and flower bulbs as well as new benches and decorative paving. Reconstruction of the malls, from 60th to 122nd Streets and 135th to 168th Streets, began in 1980 and was completed in 1993, with costs in the final phase reaching about $80,000 per mall, for a total of $6.6 million. There were eight phases of construction in all and another $600,000 project completed in 2000 replanted the malls. Curbs along the malls were raised to 16 inches and the fences were removed, which proved safer for both trees and reckless motorists.
During the 1980-1993 renovation, most of the walk-through malls were converted to green malls, and many of the oak trees were replaced with other species, primarily London planetrees (Platanus x acerifolia). Large trees survive in the Broadway Malls, in part because the soil depth is generally 16 inches above street grade and 4 feet below grade. Community flowerbeds were installed at the end of each mall along with new wheel chair accessible crosswalks. The benches were replaced and a chain and post fence was installed along the sides of the malls.

follow-up on that modeling thing
This, of course, made me laugh.
Imagine creating a blog where the whole point was to be hated. But after writing about my desire to lose weight while sick and all of my other previous honest (either partially joking or too honest) posts, I do wonder if I have unintentionally caused all of the women of the world to hate me.
What is the point of my blog? To write honestly about trying, trying, trying to be a good mom, a good wife, an ultra runner and a physician. Yes, and I also want to stay thin. That is no secret. But will it all work out for our family? Will I go crazy? That remains to be seen. But if I just wrote "my life is again perfect today because..." it might get a bit boring for all of us.
Anyway, something fun recently was modeling for that company Bodykick.dk. As you can imagine, it is not really a bad job to keep running back and forth while a nice guy is taking pictures.
Some other good news is the whole family is healthy today and SR and I are going to run the "Cross" run at 2pm. At least that's the plan. Can't wait to write a report.

I worry about my weight. I wegh myself every morning, and have a certain number higher than which I feel bad about myself. I used to count calories when was dropping it - every cycel after I gain weight, I go through monitoring every once of food put in my mouth. And while I can't say about daughter's weight anything, I tell my son to not overeat, and generally upset about American moms (and Russian too) when they think an overweight child is a healthy child. That's the problem with population. All this new medical bill in US that is in progress drives me nuts - how about the money would be spend on forbidding advertising fast food, closing fast food joints and educating people about healthy choices? Overweight children lead to obese adults, diabetes, hypertension and a bunch of other stuff. While anorexia is bad, overeating is equally bad too.

I think it's more about concern than hate! It just alarmed me to hear about someone counting calories in vomit and hoping that stepdaughter might lose weight while sick. We just had the stomach flu in our house this week too and I was way more concerned with the idea that we might all be dehydrated and how was I going to take care of a 1 year old and what if my milk supply was affected vs. if I was going to lose weight. That was about the farthest thing from my mind.
I was talking with running friends (women) this morning about how hard we are on ourselves. I betcha if you loosened up on your expectations for yourself, you'd find that you weren't any heavier! Life's way too short to be obsessive about it all (and food is way too good!!). Truly, I am at the lowest weight I've been at in years and eat more than I have in years. I don't think that's a coincidence. I feel pretty sure all of the undereating in the past just backfired on me back then.

Love that Fall picture - that would be so fun to have a pro photographer snapping away! Must say I like reading your blog. You are brutally honest though in a way few others are which is why I guess you draw such responses. But I know that when I'm sick I do take a perverse pleasure in losing weight so quickly, I just don't have the desire for detailed calculations of where that weight loss comes from (or goes) ;) Keep up with the blunt honesty, I think it's refreshing to read!!

I have so many questions for you. They are just out of curiosity.
About your last post, throwing up doesn't make you lose weight. Unfortunately. If this was true, bulimics wouldn't be normal to above-normal weight. Making it harder to spot/diagnose. Since they don't look emaciated like anorexics. Which brings me to question #1.
1. If the goal is to be skinny, why not just stop exercising and stop eating? It seems like a lot of work to eat to fuel your daily exercise only to try to burn off what you ate. Why not skip that whole process?
2. Why run? Do you enjoy running because it helps you to be a better mom? Because you fear fat? Because it burns the most amount of calories in the least amount of time? Because it helps you appreciate your body? Is there something your readers don't know about? For instance, you were obese growing up and running is the only thing that has kept your weight down?
3. What if you can't be super skinny and super fast at the same time? Say for instance, you threw out your scale for a month. Worked on just getting fast. Fartleks, hills, Yasso-800's, repeats, whatever. You shed time off of your 50mi, 10k, etc. But your body did a homeostasis calculation and X miles @ X pace = more kg than you want to weigh. What then?
Anyway, women of the world don't hate you. I just think most of us have been through the obsessing about weight, numbers on a scale and trying to control it. Have you ever thought about throwing out your scale and just listening to your bodies cues? You may find that you drop weight. What about something like yoga. Where you focus on a mind/body connection?

I could do a blog that'd make everyone hate me - piece of cake - but I couldn't handle all the trojan horses and malware that'd be thrown at me.
As close as I'll ever get to modeling: today I got dressed, turned on the TV, saw I was wearing exactly the same thing as a guy in a Viagra commercial, changed.

I'm always intrigued by your posts. Your honesty about wanting to be thin is rare in that you express it in words while the rest of us just think it in our heads. I had the H1N1 this past week and towards the end of it realized I was getting thinner. Didn't have any vomiting issues thank goodness but my diet became limited to toast and oj. Lost almost 10 pounds. Now my obsession is keeping it off in a healthy manner.
As for step-daughter, it's a worthy goal to get her to eat healthy and enjoy exercise but I would cringe if she ever knew that you were slightly obsessing about her weight.

Oh and that photo rocks!!! :)
- 14 November 2009 at 18:58
I always think the only positive thing about being sick is losing weight! I mean, you have to find something positive about it, right?
I think if women were a little more honest with themselves, they'd admit to similar concerns about weight. Let's be honest! Being thin isn't something that just happens, and if you are over say - 20 - you have to work on it. My entire family is thin, and I still have to work on keeping my weight to what I consider ideal.
I do think the weight/performance comment from Kathleen is point well taken, though. We all have an optimum weight for our sport. The thing about running is that if you look at highly competitive runners, they are thin as rails. Less weight = less mass to move = greater speed.

- sea legs girl said...
Agreed, Olga. Even my colleagues have said to me they are happy step-daugther has been able to lose some weight. It is just not healthy to be over-weight and we all should know it. (that being said, my job is to love her and encourage her and not make her at all feel down on herself!)
Kathleen, 1. Any time you use more calories than you take in, you lose weight. Whether it's vomit, exercise, undereating; there are just some healthier ways than others. Bulimics aren't successful because make up for the lost calories later by binging again. 2. I run because I love it. I love being in shape and enjoying the outdoors and the high it gives me. Plus it's something my husb. and I enjoy together. I have no interest in being super-skinny, but want to be a weight and in the shape that makes me the best runner I can be (agreed, Enthused!). 3. I also think yoga is awesome and I practice it regularly. Defintely think it helps me be a better runner (mostly because it prevents injury) and a bit more patient of a person.
Thanks, Marilyn! That one made me laugh. Sarah also attracts quite a bit of attention by saying outlandish, and often wrong, things.

I've been trying to research exercise and weight after I stopped running so much and dropped 7 pounds in 2 weeks?!!
I don't know if I believe the old adage of calories in calories out. It assumes all calories are equal. While yes, 1 calorie from any type of food contains the energy needed to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree. Calories aren't processed by the body the same. So, far, out of all the research people have done on obesity and exercise. I can't find conclusive evidence that exercise will keep the pounds off.
Which makes me think it has more to do with the type of food eaten and hormones. What about stress and cortisol? Does too much exercise and something like not sleeping enough cause weight gain? What about the type of food eaten and insulin/blood sugarlevels and their role in weight?
I know you are doing research in opthamology for your PhD...? but I am bringing this up to you wondering if you have done any kind of research for yourself on weight, running, and food. And/or have any insight.

You have to admit you're at least a little bit of a shit-stirrer.
- 15 November 2009 at 22:48
- Helen said...
I agree with Danni!! And damn it's fun to read the comments...
I completely obsess about my weight - weigh myself every day like Olga. And while I have not been sick in about 5 years (running + yoga + no kids is my theory) I would completely think about weight loss (in a positive way) if I was throwing up for a few days...
I just don't have the guts to be as honest as you on my blog!
So congrats - who cares if others agree or not. You're living your life girl!

Obama makes his case… He does it by setting up the choice, trying to turn Romney into a punch line, and arguing that now isn't the time to change horses… Who won the last two weeks?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It probably won't go down as one of his most memorable or poetic addresses, but President Obama's acceptance speech last night served several purposes -- it attempted to rally his base, tried to take advantage of the opening his opponent left for him, and it looked to define the election as a choice. Motivating his supporters two months before Election Day, Obama said, "If you turn away now, if you buy into the cynicism that the change we fought for isn't possible, well, change will not happen. If you give up on the idea that your voice can make a difference, then other voices will fill the void." He seized on Romney not mentioning Afghanistan last week, and he devoted a larger-than-expected share of the night to national security. "My opponent and his running mate are new to foreign policy, but from all that we've seen and heard, they want to take us back to an era of blustering and blundering that cost America so dearly." And after Romney's very nostalgic speech that focused on the past, Obama's address concentrated mostly on the future. "Our challenges can be met. The path we offer may be harder, but it leads to a better place. And I'm asking you to choose that future."
*** Setting up the choice, turning Romney into a punch line, and arguing that now isn't the time to change horses: Obama did a few more things in his speech. He attempted to make the case this is a choice election, using the words "choice" or "choose" more than 20 times. "The choice you face won't just be between two candidates or two parties. It will be a choice between two different paths for America." He tried to turn Romney into a punch line. "You don't call Russia our number one enemy -- and not al Qaeda -- unless you're still stuck in a Cold War time warp," he said. "You might not be ready for diplomacy with Beijing if you can't visit the Olympics without insulting our closest ally." And Obama argued that now isn't the time to change horses. "The truth is, it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over decades. It will require common effort, shared responsibility."

Democratic presidential candidate, U.S. President Barack Obama waves on stage during the final day of the Democratic National Convention at Time Warner Cable Arena on September 6, 2012 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
*** Who won the last two weeks? The answer: Obama and the Dems: Last week, the consensus was that Mitt Romney gave a good speech for Romney... Today, some are judging Obama on not meeting the height of past speeches, as well as this week's other addresses by Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton. But when you compare Romney's speech with Obama's and the GOP convention vs. the Dem convention, it's easy to conclude that Obama and the Democrats won the past two weeks. Indeed, maybe the best way to judge the Democratic convention isn't by Obama's speech last night but rather by the whole three days. You saw the building up of Obama the man by Michelle; the contrast and the economic narrative from Bill Clinton; and the way forward from Obama. Another way to look at it -- Michelle put down the building blocks, Clinton put up the walls, and Obama put on the roof. Beyond a concerted effort to make Romney more likeable, you didn't see the same thing last week in Tampa. And now we head to the post-convention polls, and perhaps the best way to look at any bounce isn't by the head-to-head numbers, but rather by what each side set out to do. So for Romney, let's look to see if his favorability numbers increase. And for Obama, let's see if those enthusiasm/interest numbers go up.
*** Who won the jobs report? The answer: Romney and the GOP: But the last two weeks aren't over, and that brings us to today's other big story: the August job numbers. The economy added 96,000 jobs, which was below expectations. But the unemployment rate dropped from 8.3% to 8.1%. It was four years ago when, the morning after Barack Obama's acceptance speech in Denver, John McCain announced his selection of Sarah Palin, which quickly changed the story. And history repeats itself today with another big story -- the monthly jobs coming -- coming the morning after Obama's acceptance speech here last night. Expect the job numbers to be the backdrop of Obama and Romney both criss-crossing between Iowa and New Hampshire today, with the president stumping in the Granite State first and then heading to the Hawkeye State, while Romney starts in Iowa and ends in New Hampshire.
*** What Obama accomplished (and what he didn't): Returning to Obama's speech last night, we listed four challenges that he needed to meet. First, convince viewers his economic policies are better than Romney's. On that score, he definitely made the case that the Romney/GOP approach on tax cuts, less regulation isn't the way to go. But he didn't persuasively argue that his approach is the best. (However, Clinton probably made that point for him the night before.) Second, describe how he would break the partisan fever in Washington. But he didn't address this at all, and it might have been the speech's biggest shortcoming (although one of his messages last night was how the bottom up can create change). Third, lay out what he could achieve in a second term. On that score, Obama pointed to several concrete -- if not necessarily new -- things. Examples: boost manufacturing by rewarding companies that create jobs in the U.S., recruit 100,000 new math and science teachers in the next 10 years, reduce debt based on the principles of the Simpson-Bowles commission. And fourth, rekindle enthusiasm and excitement, which might have turned out to be the biggest accomplishment from his speech and the three-day convention.
*** Romney's new ad blitz: Meanwhile, not too long after Obama finished his remarks last night, the Romney campaign unveiled 15 new TV ads in eight battleground states. Here's a sampling of these new ads -- on the looming defense cuts, on the deficit/debt, and on standing up to China. But here's perhaps the biggest conclusion from these new TV ads: The eight states don't include Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin. Rather they're the usual Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia. After all the conventions, after all the advertising, and after all the events of the past few months, the battleground hasn't changed. If Romney concedes Wisconsin to the president, Romney would win seven of these eight battleground states and still lose the Electoral College if he loses Florida. Think about that…
*** On the trail: Obama departs Charlotte on Air Force One at 10:00 am ET and holds a rally in Portsmouth, NH at 12:20 pm ET (with Michelle Obama, Joe Biden, and Jill Biden), and they hold another rally in Iowa City, IA at 6:20 pm ET… Romney stumps in Orange City, IA at 1:00 pm ET and then rallies in Nashua, NH at 7:10 pm ET… Paul Ryan campaigns in Nevada… And Ann Romney hits Leesburg, VA.
*** Romney to appear on "Meet": On Sunday, NBC's David Gregory will interview Romney on "Meet the Press."

Welcome Back
Nine letterwinners return from the Ivy League championship team from a year ago including foil fencers junior Brian Kaneshiege and sophomore Michael Woo, who each earned second team All-America and first team All-Ivy accolades. Kaneshiege also captured gold at the 2013 NCAA Northeast Regional championships. Last season's first team All-Ivy foilist, sophomore Jerry Chang, is back. Senior epeeist Michael Raynis, who garnered second team All-Ivy and an All-American honorable mention selection last season, returns to Cambridge with his classmates Eric Arzoian and Lucas Lin for their final season. Also returning is junior Hikari Senju and sophomores Duncan O'Brien and Nicolas Simko.
In with the New
Two recruits were added to the men's fencing roster for this season; Alexander Eldeib and Stephen Mageras. Eldeib, who hails from Burke, Va., will compete in the foil, while Mageras, who calls Darien, Conn., home, is an epeeist.

Trust in Brand
Peter Brand enters his 15th season at the helm of the Crimson.

New Sideline Addition

Captain Crimson
For the second straight season seniors Lucas Lin and Michael Raynis will lead the Crimson as co-captains. The duo is the first pair to serve two consecutive seasons as co-captains since Benjamin Schmidt '03 and David Wollenberg '03 did so for the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons.
Grabbin' Gold
For the second straight year, Jerry Chang earned a gold medal at the November North Atlantic Championships. The sophomore punched his ticket to compete at the Junior World Championships when he overcame a field of 174 foil fencers Nov. 8-10. In a dramatic gold medal bout, Chang downed Nobuo Bravo of Princeton 15-14 to capture first.

About Penn State
The Nittany Lions sent eight fencers to the Temple Open Oct. 27-28 to open their season. Penn State's two-weapon victory was paced by five freshmen who each took spots in the top-five in their respective weapons.

All-Time Versus the Nittany Lions
In a series that began in 1987, Harvard trails Penn State, 3-11. The two programs last met in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., in 2012 when the Nitty Lions edged the Crimson, 18-9, to record their fourth straight win over Harvard.
