We are in the month of May, and May happens to be the National Bike Month. Therefore, and for that occasion, I decided today to write something up about some of the many benefits of cycling for runners.
Therfore, I encourage you to give cycling a try—especially after you get acquainted with the many benefits that cycling has to offer runners, and how simple it is to start biking.
I hope you'll find them useful and simple enough.
Cycling as Cross Training
I am a runner, and I run a lot.
But that does not mean that I shouldn't be doing other things, especially when I know that they are beneficial to both my running and fitness level.
As you already know if you have been on my blog before, I'm big on cross-training. In fact, after a quick glance at my Cross-training page on my blog, you'll notice that I have more posts in there than in any other category.
That tells you how much I value cross training. Therefore, today I decided to share with you a post on one of my least-practiced sports, cycling.
The fact is, cycling is, hands down, one of the best cross-training exercises that match running.
I'm not a pro cyclist
Before I get into the workouts, I would like for the record to clearly state that I'm not as quite as qualified to write about cycling as I am to write about running. The fact is, I'm not that good of biker, and I don't do it that often.
Yes, I love cycling, but I wish I could do more of it.
I used to bike much more often in the past, but these days it's a rarity.
It doesn't happen that often.
I usually bike when I'm injured. When I'm tired from running. Or whenever running is not an option.
Therefore, the workouts I'm sharing with you today are not some advanced or complicated routines. They are a just some of the simple and straightforward workouts I do every now and then.
I just want to share with you what I do when it comes to biking. Nothing advanced here. If you like some of the advanced stuff, then this is not the blog post for you.
The Benefits of Cycling for Runners
I do believe in the power of cycling—whether you want to go all serious about it (I'm not), or just do it every now and then (which is my thing)—cycling has all sorts of health benefits—physical and mental.
Here are some of the main reasons to help convince you to hop on the bike:
Perfect for cross-training. Cycling, by far, is the ideal high-intensity low-impact cross training activity there is. In fact, I believe that cycling is the ideal example of a high-intensity alternative cross training exercise that can complement, or even replace, running.
Targets all major running muscles. Cycling builds strength and power in major leg muscles, such as the glutes, calves, and quads—key running muscles.
Low impact. Cycling targets these muscles in non-load bearing manner so there is minimal impact on the body and joints, so there is pounding as there is in running.
Also, cycling strengthens the weaker muscles, therefore, as a runner, it can help you fix muscle imbalances and prevent of all sorts of overuse injuries.
Improves leg turnover. A high cycling cadence—of roughly 90 revolutions per minutes or more—is an ideal way to boost leg turnover for runners. And as you already know, increasing your leg turnover is one of the fastest and best ways to help you increase speed and improve race times.
Cycling offers many workouts. Just like running, you can do all sorts of workouts on your bike, including interval sessions, tempo rides, hill rides and long steady ride workouts to build endurance.
The fact is, the best cycling workouts for runners are those routines that mimic standard and classic run workouts, just like the ones I'm sharing with you below.
Great for recovery. Or should I say, active recovery, any sort of low-intensity low-impact exercise after a hard workout.
According to the current theory, active recovery can boost blood flow, soothe muscle soreness, reduce joint stiffness, flush out toxins and help you back to hitting the pavement sooner than if you were not engaged in any form of physical activity.
Cycling has less impact than running so you can recover faster from the workouts.
How to start Biking
Cycling is not meant to replace all of your running workouts—unless you are recovering and rehabilitating an injury, of course.
You need to find a way to wave cycling into your training program without throwing your training program out of balance.
For that, I strongly recommend that you get started biking by replacing one or two of your weekly easy runs with a 60 to 90-minute bike workout.
Things you will need
Unlike running, cycling is more of an equipment-centric sport that requires a few essentials. Nonetheless, I don't think that one needs a horde of fancy gear to get started.
However, I don't think you should be investing a fortune in biking gear to reap the benefits of cycling (and spinning).
Therefore, if you are thinking about becoming a casual biker—just like me—then I believe an entry-level road bike is enough—for now anyway, you may choose to upgrade for a more advanced ride in the future.
Some of the essential items you'll need to include a bike, helmet, glasses, bike shorts, pedal shoes, cycling gloves, multi-tool, spare tube, an inflation device, and working brakes.
Other basics you might consider getting include a BPA-free water bottle (stay hydrated—a cardinal rule), a bike computer (helps you keep track of top speed, distance, time, etc) and a road ID (this can be a total lifesaver in the off chance of an accidence, God forbid).
Nevertheless, all things being equal, the bike must fit whether it's mountain bike, a road bike, a hybrid, or triathlon bike.
In fact, the bike must fit, or it's a no deal. If you don't have a bike yet, check this quick YouTube video on how to pick the right fitting bike.
Be safe, please
And please be safe on the road. Keep an eye on intersections, red light, traffic, oncoming cars, other people, you know, common sense safety principles still apply here.
The Spinning Option
And the good news is, if you decide to do indoor biking workouts, then you'll barely need anything, any gear.
Most gyms have them, and they are not that expensive. Not only that, some spin bikes come with their own pre-programmed workout routines, helping a lot.
All you need for an awesome spinning session is an iPod with a good playlist and (maybe) a training buddy to help you ward off the boredom of spinning in place.
The Best Cycling Workouts for Runners
Without further ado, here is a list of biking workouts you might consider adding into your training program. Your choice of a session and the number of times you do it a week depends, of course, on your current fitness level and goals.
Nonetheless, I suggest that you do at least one of the sessions below twice a week, choose another for a third hard day.
As you get fitter on the bike, add one or two of the more challenging routines. And please, be sure to allow for one day of rest between hard workouts.
1. The Road Bike Workout
If you are just starting out, then you will need just to get out there and get a feel for what's like to bike by riding a few miles.
Fartlek is a Swedish term that means "speed play." When this training method was first incepted and conceptualized in the 20's and 30's, it was mainly used by runners, but soon it spread to other sports—and nowadays a fartlek bike workout is an integral part of most training programs.
I love this workout. It mimics the type of fartlek workout we do in the running world—mainly exercising on feel, and following no specific training pattern and plan.
You can perform this workout on flat section or hills, just make sure you are biking on feel and picking up the pace every now and then.
The Workout
10 minutes easy biking to warm up and get ready.
5 minutes moderate biking
2 minutes sprint
4 minutes moderate
1-minute sprint
5 minutes moderate
3 minutes sprint
10 minutes easy cool down.
Of course, there is no magic formula for the perfect fartlek biking workout. Hence, feel free to let your creativity carry you forward, and remember to have fun. It's called "speed play" for a reason, you know.
2. Endurance Ride Workout
The endurance workout is one of my favorite biking workouts—especially on days when I don't feel like doing something intense but still get a sweat going.
During this workout, you should be feeling tension and workload in your legs. However, perform this workout at a conversational pace—meaning you can still carry on a conversation without much huffing and puffing.
The main goal of this session is to build endurance and allow you to go the distance without showing signs of fatigue or slowing down.
The Workout
Start, like usual, with a 10-minute easy-paced pedaling to get you warmed and ready.
Next, aim to keep up a steady cadence for the upcoming 45 to 60 minutes, shooting for an effort level of 6 to 7 on a scale of 1 to 10, and exercising at 60 to 70 percent of your maximum heart rate.
As a beginner, you might need to opt for a low cadence—something in the range of 60 to 70 rpm for your first few endurance sessions. And as you get stronger and fitter, aim to work it up gradually up to more than an hour by gradually increasing your time each week.
Last up, finish the ride with a 5-minute slow spinning cool down at an easy pace.
3. Speed Intervals
Intervals are a crucial part of any cycling training program. These powerful sessions can help you increase aerobic capacity (VO2 max) and power, burn mad calories, and they are perfect for the time-crunched runner who is balancing a hectic life schedule with training.
You can perform this workout indoor, or outdoor—although I prefer doing it indoor because that way I can have more control over pace and intervals length and duration.
The Workout
Start with a 10-minute easy-paced pedaling to get you warmed and set.
Next, perform at least six to eight one-minute fast-pedal intervals near top speed—nothing less than 90 percent of your max—then slow down and recover with a one-minute easy pace spin with minimal resistance.
After the last interval, slow down and ride at a neutral pace for 5 minutes to cool down.
4. Tabata Intervals
Tabata intervals are the brainchild of the Japanese exercise physiologist Izumi Tabata, and this awesome and rigorous interval type of a workout consists of alternating between 20-second of high-intensity burst of work with 10-second of recovery.
To make the most out of this workout, you need to push your max and be gasping for breath by the end of the first few intervals—otherwise, you are not pushing hard enough.
The Tabata interval set is considered by many as the best cycling fitness builder ever incepted.
Not only that, the Tabata protocol workouts are perfect if you are short on time and looking to get the most out of every minute you spend on a bike.
These Tabata intervals increase cardiovascular fitness and shed crazy amounts of calories like nothing else.
For a timer to keep track of your sprint and rest periods, feel free to down this Tabata-timer app.
The Workout
Begin the workout with a 10-minute easy ride as a warm-up of easy spinning.
Next, up the intensity by either boosting gear ratio or tension, then sprint for 20 seconds as fast as possible. Then, slow down and recover with a 10-second of easy spinning.
Repeat the on and off pattern for eight times to complete one round. Pedal easy for one to two minutes, then aim to do at least two to three more rounds.
5. Climbing Intervals
This session is going to help you build the strength and power needed to tackles the hills with ease, and will also totally challenge your muscular strength and endurance and power on the bike.
You have two options here: you can either opt for a moderate to steep hill. The ideal hill should take you at least two to five minutes to climb, has a steady grade of 7 to 10 percent with no stop signs or traffic lights. Once you reach the top of the hill, turn around and recover as you ride back down to starting point.
Or hop on a stationary bike with a riser block under the front wheel to simulate a hill by raising the bike's front wheel.
The Workout
Start with a 10-minute warm-up of easy pedaling.
Next, ride the uphill, aiming for an effort of 7 to 8 for at least 5 minutes, and aiming for 70 to 80 RPM.
Then, coast or recover downhill, and repeat for 25 to 30 minutes. Repeat the cycle for the duration of your session, then end the workout with a 5-minute easy pedaling cool-down.
For more challenge, feel free to stand and attack for 15 to 20 pedal strokes a time at the fastest pace possible.
6. The Recovery Ride
A recovery ride serves the same purpose as a recovery run: helps you recover following an intense workout. As a result, you shouldn't be skipping them.
Do this easy workout on a flat course after a hard session to help you recover and increase your cycling mileage.
The recovery is going to help you to increase your biking mileage while also allowing your body to recover by spending some time at a lower-intensity training zone.
The Workout
This is easy and straightforward: Ride as easy as you can possibly ride for 30 to 45 minutes. In fact, go as embarrassingly slow as possible, and do it deliberately.
Keep spinning easy, and don't let your training buddy ruin this for you—regardless of how much they pressure you into speeding things up.

So, how's this for crazy: Two people named Victoria commented/asked a question the other day. Two! Two Victorias! In one day! Two Victorias!
And even crazier, the Two Victorias had similar things to say.
Victorias In Tandem!
Co-Victoria Questioning!
Great Victorias think alike!
Ok I mean I thought that was a pretty crazy coincidence. Right?
Anyway, here's an except from the Victoria who left a blog comment:
I have recently enrolled in an adult beginner ballet class though it doesn't start until later on in Jan, I am so excited! I did a very small amount of ballet, jazz, etc styled dance as a child but had to quit due to my mother saying it was too expensive, which was a shame because I was crazy passionate about it. Now that I'm older and earning my own income nothing can stop me. Since then its been about 10 years + and I'm definitely not as flexible or thin, haha. I am very nervous to start ballet again as my body isn't exactly a typical "dancer" body and I was wondering if you think my body shape would improve with more dance?
And here's an excerpt from the Victoria who sent an email:
I have been dancing since I was a kid but have always had a body that as hard as I tried, wouldn't let me dance as freely as I wanted to, or make the shapes I wanted to see. I'm not exactly ballerina shaped (more, like, WOMAN shaped), and seem predisposed to develop bulky thigh muscles where they are no desirable for good lines. The older I get, the harder it is to even try. I'm always trying to imbue my dancing with Good Lines and Smiles and Heads and Soft Romantic Arms and much Epaulement (most of my classmates are sullen skinny teenagers so this makes me look angelic by comparison) but there's no escaping glancing at the mirror and seeing a reflection that doesn't match what's going on in my ballet brain.
I often leave the really advanced classes feeling much more depressed than when I went in, because my turnout is non-existent and my balance is crap and my arms are fat, and none of it matches the image of the "ballet-me" I have in my head. Do you ever get that feeling leaving class, when you're supposed to feel the post-dancing glow but really feel like you wandered in from a legwarmers revival convention? Ballet so often gives me so much joy from nowhere, which keeps me doing it and pretending I'm Odette in my living room, but also leaves me feeling frustrated I can't be the dancer I wish I could be. So it's inspiring to know that there are adults out there of all shapes and sizes, abilities and ages, having a go and feeling that joy, and it just doesn't matter a bit whether that line is just right. Screw the mirror.
Ok so both Victorias are kinda hitting on that question that I think maybe we are not supposed to be thinking?
Like, we are supposed to enter into this whole ballet thing with Pure Intentions like Being Part of a Grand Tradition and learning to Be Graceful In All Things in studio and out, and, like, Being Active in making beauty happen in our lives instead of just watching it on tv or whatever.
But maybe there's another intention that we don't want to cop to because it seems way too frivolous? Maybe a question like, 'can I get a dancer body?'
Like, pursuit of hotness might be a kind of frivolous reason to get into ballet? But maybe something the Adult Beginner definitely might be kind of a little bit interested in, hypothetically?
Which reminds me of this comment from June on the post about the top dance blogs competition, where she sez, "Your blog…embraces all things that may be considered "frivolous" but often weigh heavily on the minds of beginners to be!"
Which I think is an awesome compliment.
So, was thinking about what the Victorias were saying and thinking about whether and how ballet has changed my body and my first thought was that I could just say ballet has improved my body Image, and that that's the most important thing, but then I was like, 'that may be true but it is also totally vague and boring!!! Get specific!'
So, the specifics:
The Adult Beginner has not gotten all ballet skinny or anything. To quote Mr. Adult Beginner, "Well, you're not any smaller, but everything is more toned."
(Although my most recent leotard purchases were mediums, not larges. Woo!)
Also, the other day he was demonstrating how he would like to strangle somebody, and I was like Hey! Quit It! And he was like, "but I dont want to quit it! Your neck feels nice! And your collar bones!"
Ballet has improved my whole shoulder-collarbone-neck department, mostly just by getting me to stand correctly after a lifetime of having my head down and shoulders up. Think my neck is probably stronger, like the muscles look nicer and stuff.
So, like, if you're looking to be more strangle-able, take ballet.
Wear a lot more mini-skirts than I did before ballet. And, like, I've always had good legs. Not trying to toot my own horn here, just recognizing my best feature for what it is. Ballet has streamlined them- but more than that- seeing my legs twice a week in a mirror has gotten me used to seeing them out in public, which goes back to the body image thing, which is boring but true.
So, yeah, I think ballet will change your body. And definitely your body image. Although neither one is changed for good, I have days when just getting dressed for class is an exercise in strategic camouflage.
But then there's that "joy from nowhere".

DBIx::UserDB - Module to manage a user database using DBIx::SearchProfiles
use DBIx::UserDB;
use DBIx::SearchProfiles;
my $db = new DBIx::SearchProfiles( ... );
my $userdb = new DBIx::UserDB( $db );
my $user = { username => $username, password => $password };
$user = $userdb->user_create( $user );
# Later on
my $user = $userdb->login( $user, $password );
die "Login failed" unless $user;
# Much later
if ( $userdb->allowed( $user, $target, "DELETE" ) ) {
The DBIx::UserDB uses DBIx::SearchProfiles to manage a user and group database and may be also used to manage complex ACL. The user and group schema may be modified for application specific data since only a few fields are required by the UserDB. This is possible thanks to DBIx::SearchProfiles.
Users and Groups
Users are represented as hash and as one SQL table. They have a unique username and a unique uid. Group have also a unique name and a unique gid. A user may be a members of many groups.
UserDB can also be used to manage complex ACL (Acccess Control Lists). Access to resources is determined by the tuple (user,target,privilege) which determines if a user has the required privilege on target. Privilege and target are treated as application specific character strings.
In order to use DBIx::UserDB you will need to create a few tables in your DMBS and to create the approriate DBIx::SearchProfiles.
Here is the minimal schema required in your DBMS :
CREATE TABLE userdb (
uid SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
username CHAR(32) UNIQUE,
password CHAR(32)
CREATE TABLE groupdb (
gid SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
groupname CHAR(32) UNIQUE
CREATE TABLE groupmembers (
gid INT REFERENCES groupdb,
uid INT REFERENCES userdb,
PRIMARY KEY (gid,uid)
CREATE TABLE user_acl (
uid INT REFERENCES userdb,
target CHAR(128),
privilege CHAR(32),
negated BOOL DEFAULT 0,
PRIMARY KEY (uid,target,privilege)
CREATE TABLE group_acl (
gid INT REFERENCES groupdb,
target CHAR(128),
privilege CHAR(32),
negated BOOL DEFAULT 0,
PRIMARY KEY (gid,target,privilege)
CREATE TABLE default_acl (
target CHAR(128),
privilege CHAR(32),
negated BOOL DEFAULT 0,
PRIMARY KEY (target,privilege)
This SQL was tested with PostgreSQL, modify according to your RDBMS. And here is its related DBIx::SearchProfiles profile :
userdb =>
fields => [qw( username password ) ],
keys => [qw( uid )],
table => "userdb",
groupdb =>
query => q{ SELECT m.gid,uid,groupname FROM groupdb, groupmembers m
WHERE uid = ? },
params => [ qw( uid ) ],
fields => [ qw( groupname ) ],
keys => [ qw( gid )],
table => "groupdb",
} ,
You may add any fields to the groupdb and userdb tables as long as you add them to the profiles. The userdb profile should be a
record profile (see DBIx::SearchProfiles(3)) and groupdb should contains both template profile's information (for finding the users associated with a group) and record profile's information (for inserting and updating group's information). Additionaly you may change the fields length of all required fields.
Passwords are uuencoded for storage (for minimal privacy not for security), so take this into account when setting the password field's length. If you want to store password in plaintext, use the
scramble_password method.
Initializing the DBIx::UserDB is as simple as
my $userdb = new DBIx::UserDB( $DB, "userdb", "groupdb" );
The first parameter is a DBIx::SearchProfiles object which will be used to access the database. The second parameter is the name of the profile that should be used to access the users' information (defaults to "userdb"). The third parameter is the name of the profile to use for group access (defaults to "groupdb").
scramble_password ( [new_setting] )
Return the scramble password setting. You may also change the setting by giving the method a new value. If scramble password is true, user's password will be uuencoded before being stored in the database.
Here are the methods for managing users in the database.
user_create ( \%user )
This method creates a user with the information specified in the hash reference in the database. In the user's hash, at least the fields username and password should be set.
The methods return true on success and false if there is already a username with that name in the database. Exception are thrown on database errors. Additionally, on return, the method will add the UID of the newly created user.
user_search ( \%params )
This method will return users matching the DBIx::SearchProfiles query specification in a reference to an array.
user_get ( $uid_or_name )
This method takes a UID or username and return the corresponding user (as an hash reference) or undef if there is no such user.
The key groups in the user's hash contains the names of the groups of which this user is a member.
user_login ( $username, $password )
This method will return the user which have the corresponding username and password or undef if the username or password is invalid.
user_delete ( \%user )
This method removes the given user from the database.
user_update ( \%user )
This method updates database information of the given user. This method has no effects on the group information. Use the
group_add_user and
group_remove_user methods for modifying the groups associated with a user.
Here are the methods to manage group information
group_create ( \%group )
This method creates a new group in the database. At least the groupname key should be set in the hash.
This methods returns false if there is already a group with the same groupname. It returns true if the creation succeeded. Additionnaly, on return, the key gid will be set in the original group's hash.
group_search ( \%params )
This method will search the database for groups matching the DBIx::SearchProfiles record search and will return its results as a reference to an hash.
group_get ( $gid_or_name )
This method takes a gid or groupname and will fetch the corresponding group. It returns the corresponding group or undef if there is no such group. Additionnaly there is a key members defined in the resulting hash which contains in an array the name of all members of the group.
group_delete ( \%group )
This methods removes the given group from the database.
group_update ( \%group )
This methods updates the information associated with the given group in that database. This methods doesn't modify the list of members of this group. User
group_add_user and
group_remove_user for that.
group_add_user ( \%group, \%user )
Adds the user to that group.
group_remove_user ( \%group, \%user )
Removes the user from that group.
Here are the methods to access the ACL information :
grant ( \%user_or_group, $target, $privilege )
Grant the specified privilege on target to that group or user. If you want to set the default policy regarding that target and privilege, use undef as the user parameter.
deny ( \%user_or_group, $target, $privilege )
Deny the specific privilege on target to that group or user. Use undef if you want the default policy to be deny.
revoke ( \%user_or_group, $target, $privilege )
Removes the specified privilege on target associated with user or group. If you want to remove the default policy, use undef as the user parameter.
NOTE: Revoking is not the same as denying. Revoking removes the entry from the ACL which means that the resulting policy will be determined by other entry in the ACL (i.e: group or default). When using deny, you are explicitely determining the level of access.
allowed ( \%user, $target, $privilege )
Determine if user has prilivege on target. This how the access is determined :
Determine if there is an entry (user,target,privilege). If an entry is found, true or false will be returned depending whether that privilege was granted or denied.
Check for an entry (group,target,privilege) for each group of which the user is a member. For the group policy to apply, all group must share the same result.
For example, if user A is member of group A and B and group A is granted the requested privilege and group B is denied, the group policy doesn't apply to that particular user. Schematically :
Group A Granted + Group B Granted = User Granted Group A Granted + Group B Denied = Default policy will apply Group A Denied + Group B Denied = User Denied

"You Didn't Get It Here"
"Amen!" The sound rang out from the back of the sanctuary when the preacher made a particularly salient point. Horrified ushers hurried to the scene of the crime and gently but firmly informed the visiting perpetrator, "We don't do that sort of thing here. Please listen quietly during the sermon."Read more

Four Dental Care Concerns For Senior Citizens To Discuss With Their Dentist
When it comes to dental services, senior citizens sometimes have specific concerns that might not be the same as those of younger patients. If you are a senior citizen, it's important to know which types of issues to discuss with your dentist. Use the following guide to help determine which questions and concerns to bring up at your next dental appointment.
While stomatitis can affect virtually anyone, it can be a particular concern for seniors who wear dentures. Ill-fitting dentures can cause irritation that can lead to this condition, and the symptoms can include pain, inflammation, and difficulty talking or eating. Your dentist can perform an exam and determine the right course of treatment to reduce these symptoms. It's also a good idea to have your dentist inspect your dentures to ensure they fit properly, as this can help prevent stomatitis from becoming an issue.
Reduced Taste Sensation
If you find that food doesn't taste the same as it used to, you may want to discuss this issue with your dentist. For some people, this loss of taste can be attributed to autoimmune disorders or current medications. For others, it may simply be a symptom of aging. While there may not be a treatment that works for everyone, your dentist may have some medication options or lifestyle choices you can use to help preserve your sense of taste as you age.
Tooth Loss
Some senior citizens may experience tooth loss as a result of gum disease, weakened teeth, or decay. This problem can lead to a loss of self-esteem as well as difficulty eating or speaking. Your dentist may be able to provide you with a dental bridge, dental implants, or dentures to replace the missing teeth and restore your smile. More invasive procedures, like dental implants, may not be ideal for every patient. This is particularly true if your bones are weakened, as your jaw may not have the strength to hold the implant in place. Consult with your dentist to determine which tooth replacement option makes the most sense for you.
Difficulty With Oral Hygiene
Senior citizens with great oral health may still experience some issues due to aging. If you have arthritis, Parkinson's, or another condition that makes controlled movements difficult, you may find that brushing your teeth or flossing can be a challenge. Your dentist may be able to help by scheduling more frequent cleanings, and he or she can also reccommend adaptive devices that make brushing and flossing easier.

Shadows on the Land: An Anthology of Texas Historical Marker Stories
by Myra Hargrave McIlvain
Texas Historical Commission
ISBN: Non Issued - Private Print
(c) 1984
First Edition
Since the present Texas historical marker program began in the 1960's, several thosuand stories have been recorded through the efforts of country historical commissions. These stories, which tell the people's history, reflect the rich heritage and cultural diversity of the state. Together, they provide a comprhensive record of the individuals, architecture, events, and archeology that shaped Texas.
If you have ever read a Texas historical marker and wanted to know more about the topic, you will enjoy Shadows on the Land. It contains expanded marker articles by Myra Hargrave McIlvain, who uses her enthusiasm for history and her sense of humor to "tell a good story." Orignially written for the Texas Historical COmmission and printed in newspapers statewide, the articles ahve generated a great deal of interest in Texas history and int he state's historical marker program. Included with the articles are maps showing the general location of the markers and detailed directos to the marker sites.
Althrough the stores in Shadows on the Land may not be included in general histories of the state, you will find they provide an interesting sampler of Texas heritage. As modifiers of a larger story, they will give you a new perspective of Texas history.

Educational Psychologists support #BanTheBooths
The BanTheBooths Campaign is proud to support the Association of Educational Psychologists (which is the Trade Union and Professional Association for EPs across the UK) in their motion at the TUC Conference. We are grateful for their collaboration. Their expertise and experience is invaluable to the campaign. The Office of the Childrens' Commissioner has also been talking to the campaign and Paul has been to Westminster to meet with them. There is growing discomfort about extreme use of isolation, restrictive punishment and isolation booths. When they surveyed children (and not just those who frequent such spaces) it was one of their greatest concerns. We now have support from a…
Make Booths history: Adam, Ben and Carla's story
Former pupils who come back to visit bring stories of isolation booths being used for trivial and bizarre reasons: the wrong colour shoes earned one girl a day of isolation; a boy who shaved his head for charity would have been isolated until the hair grew back, except that his mother chose to keep him at home instead; and then there was the boy in year 10 placed in isolation and, to his distress and his mother's fury, consequently excluded from Maths and English classes, because of failure to do his Spanish homework. Article 3 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child quite simply states that the…
Ban The Booths News!
Our campaign is strong and growing stronger. Our recent parent blogs were extremely popular on social media, there have been questions posed in Select Committees about the use of Isolation and the extreme practices in some schools have hit the national press. Nobody should be able to put a child in 'boothed confinement' and call it 'inclusion'.
Aged 12, recently bereaved, put in a booth. A parent speaks out.
At this stage I did not know that he was, aged 12 and recently bereaved, being placed in an isolation unit which was akin to a cell. His offences were more often than not very minor. I have since found out that 20 plus times he was placed in isolation for wearing white socks.
Why we should #BanTheBooths
There is good practice in many removal rooms. Caring adults calmly working with angry and frustrated children who have struggled to follow directions. There is mentoring, coaching and challenge so that children can be returned to learning as soon as possible. Then there are removal rooms and isolation rooms where children sit in punishment booths, abandoned. Their education on hold. These are not the children with the worst behaviour. They are often children who have irritatingly stretched the lines of tolerance. Sitting in a booth day after day. Same faces, same stories, same unmet needs sat staring into space. I met a child who had spent 35 days in an…
A Matter of Rights and Wrongs #BanTheBooths
Pindown had been a management regime for 'cracking down' on children's wilful or defiant behaviour in their care homes, ranging from forcing children to dress in pyjamas and slippers at all times to deter them running away, to prolonged periods of being kept in isolation and detention. Pindown had become normalised among staff in the homes that deployed it over many years
Nothing is as simple as a hashtag #BanTheBooths
Nothing is a simple as a hashtag. #BanTheBooths carries with it a passion for a more inclusive, more relationally-informed and more sustainable future in schools. I support it because this is a conversation we must have both within the profession and beyond it.
Myth-busting Monday
BanTheBooths is growing in support but we are a small group of volunteers in the early stages of an exciting campaign. To give some context we have been formed for just over two weeks. Our Parliamentary Petition went live a week ago. Yet we have already gathered support from MPs, have had Headteachers rip out their booths overnight and have been featured in national TV and press. At the highest level of decision making BanTheBooths has entered the conversation. At the DFE, Ofsted and in Parliament. Our campaign is polite, respectful and well mannered. We are a credible, experienced and utterly determined bunch of Teachers, Parents, Advisors, Headteachers, Governors, Educational Psychologists, Professors…
Booths and SEND, forced compliance v sensory processing
It was during a job interview – I had done my research beforehand and it was a role I was really keen to do. Things started well; I talked to some enthusiastic pupils and delivered an assembly on Mental Health. Then we came to the tour and three quarters of the way through I was taken to a room at the far end of the school. "This is our isolation room. This is where pupils come when they refuse to follow our school rules. They stay in here for the whole day, including break and lunch times." This week's blog is from Callum Wetherill, Teacher, Pastoral Leader and SLE All…
Why we should #BanTheBooths by Wayne Beech
Let me set the scene: It is half past one, I am sat in my office and while the rest of the school settle into their learning for the afternoon, the verbal barbs of "let me out, this is child abuse, you're not my dad!" echo into the otherwise tranquil corridor. This week's BanTheBooths blog is from Wayne Beech, Deputy Headteacher of a Primary School serving an area of high deprivation. His day has not been a productive one, with the Christmas season in full swing, the onslaught of Nativity practices, Christmas Fairs and regular interruptions to the timetable, his ability to cope with the school day has diminished. As…

* Car parts maker Tokai Rika sags after Toyota recall
* KDDI climbs after J.P. Morgan lifts price target
* Shin-Etsu Chemical rises after Nomura upgrade
By Dominic Lau
TOKYO, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average fell to its lowest in two months on Thursday, losing ground for a third straight day on mounting concerns that upcoming quarterly corporate earnings will be weak after the U.S. results season got off to a slow start.
By the midday break, the Nikkei
had eased 0.2 percent to 8,579.37 after falling as much as 8,514.63. The benchmark has lost 7.6 percent since hitting a four-month high on Sept. 19.
Printer and semiconductor production-related companies rebounded after a recent battering on concerns over the outlook for the PC market.
"People have chosen to come in to do a bit of short-covering on some of the things that have been oversold," said a senior trader at a European bank.
Advantest Corp rose 6.4 percent after shedding 31 percent from Sept. 19 to Oct. 10, while Canon Inc
gained 1.4 percent, snapping a five-session losing streak. Dainippon Screen Manufacturing Co Ltd
, which is down 39 percent year-to-date, climbed 3.4 percent.
The broader Topix
index was flat at 717.08 in active trade, with volume at 57 percent of its full daily average for the past 90 days.
Ryota Sakagami, chief equity strategist at SMBC Nikko Securities said market participants remained worried that this earnings season was set to yield a slew of cuts to annual forecasts, as well as some negative surprises.
"However, if you look at the current prices of individual companies, they should have priced in downward revisions. The market is overreacting," he said, but added that the Nikkei could fall as low as 8,250 in a worst case scenario.
SmartEstimates from Thomson Reuters StarMine show expectations for an average negative earnings surprise from Nikkei 225 companies of 1.3 percent for July-September quarterly results.
The benchmark Nikkei is up 1.5 percent so far this year, trailing a 13.9 percent rise in the U.S. S&P 500
and a 9.9 percent gain in the pan-European STOXX Europe 600
On Wednesday, the S&P 500 fell for a fourth day after Chevron Corp
said third-quarter profits would be "substantially lower" than the previous quarter, while Alcoa Inc
posted a quarterly loss and cut its outlook for global aluminum demand.
Japanese automakers and parts suppliers were under pressure after Toyota Motor Corp
said it would recall more than 7.4 million vehicles worldwide for faulty power window switches.
The sector was already faced with concerns over the impact of sluggish global growth and anti-Japanese sentiment in China over a territorial dispute between the two countries.
Car parts maker Tokai Rika Co Ltd
slumped 8.5 percent after the recall by Toyota, which lost 1 percent, in line with a 1.1 percent fall in rival Nissan Motor Co
Other gainers included KDDI Corp
, which advanced 2.4 percent after J.P. Morgan lifted its price target on the mobile operator.
Shin-Etsu Chemical Co Ltd
added 1.7 percent after Nomura upgraded its rating on the company to 'buy' from 'neutral' and lifted its price target.

Christmas 2020 and 2021
Christmas time in Sweden is known as "Jul," and Sweden has many unique customs associated with the season. Christmas is celebrated with two public holidays on 25 and 26 December each year.
|25 Dec
|Christmas Day
|26 Dec
|2nd Day of Christmas
|25 Dec
|Christmas Day
|26 Dec
|2nd Day of Christmas
In Sweden, Jul begins on 1 December and continues until 13 January with Saint Knut's Day. The main event of Swedish Jul is Christmas Eve, which is the time when the festive meal is eaten and Christmas presents exchanged.
The tradition of a mid-winter time of merry-making and of the term "Jul" itself seems to pre-date Christian times in Sweden. It once involved sacrifices to Norse pagan gods and a feast marking the winter solstice.
December 13 is the traditional day to set up your Christmas tree in Sweden. Tree decorations include the usual baubles and lights but also such things as apples, candles, gnomes, and ornaments made out of straw. Homes will be decorated with red tulips and have the aroma of gingerbread wafting through the air.
Santa Claus is known as "Jultomten" (the Yule Man), and brings children presents in person on Christmas Eve evening, knocking on doors instead of sneaking down chimneys. The tradition of Jultomten seems to derive both from the old pagan gnome called "Tomte" and from the Dutch Saint Nicholas.
In many homes, a straw goat is constructed to "guard the Christmas tree," and straw is also used as a decoration throughout the house to remind of Jesus' birth in the straw-filed manger. While Sweden is a very secular nation in general, on Christmas morning, many will get up very early to go to church for special services.

A 22-year-old man 'knew exactly what he was doing' when he was caught driving without having any insurance.
Ryan Canavan, whose address was given as Carrigart Manor, Craigavon, was fined £250 and banned for three months for not having insurance on June 17 this year.
He was also ordered to pay a £15 offender's levy.
The court heard that Canavan was stopped while driving towards Enniskeen and he confirmed to police that he did not have insurance.
A solicitor representing the defendant said he had a similar previous conviction in 2102.
He explained that Canavan only had the car a couple of weeks and sold it the day after he was stopped.
Deputy District Judge Neil Rafferty said that given the defendant's record he knew exactly what he was doing.

Palaszczuk Government commits extra $40M to deliver $140M for Townsville Stadium
The 2016-17 Queensland State Budget will allocate an additional $40 million to building Townsville's stadium, on top of the $100 million already allocated.
This additional funding has been unlocked because of a partnership reached with the NRL and the Cowboys, who will provide an upfront payment of $10 million towards the construction of the stadium. This will represent a prepayment of the rental by the Cowboys for the use of the stadium, on terms to be negotiated.
Townsville City Council will also contribute the land that the Stadium will be built on.
Treasurer and Minister for Sport Curtis Pitt said he was 100 per cent committed to this catalytic project to deliver the jobs, economic uplift and investment associated with a project of this scale for Townsville.
"The Palaszczuk Government's commitment to delivering this project is unwavering and our $140 million contribution is testament to that," Mr Pitt said.
"But the State Government alone cannot deliver this project for North Queensland and so far only Bill Shorten has pledged the remaining $100 million needed.
"This stadium will be an economic activator for the city in terms of post-game activity, it also boasts future plans for further expansion with a potential entertainment centre and there will be value uplift from the development of new properties within the priority development area.
"It will also deliver 700 jobs during the construction phase as well as on-going jobs in hospitality, new tourism opportunities and major events."
Minister Assisting the Premier on North Queensland Coralee O'Rourke said it was time to stop passing the political football and start kicking goals.
"The Turnbull Government failed once already to provide any funding when they could have, in the recent 2016-17 Federal Budget," Ms O'Rourke said.
"The choice for Townsville is clear – It's a choice between jobs, construction, investment and rejuvenation under Labor or another term of nothing under Ewen Jones and a Liberal Government in Canberra that clearly doesn't understand regional Queensland.
"Herbert MP Ewen Jones needs to be able to look his constituency in the eye and tell locals whether or not he can deliver this crucial piece of infrastructure."
State Development Minister and Minister for Natural Resources and Mines Dr Anthony Lynham said the only barrier to building was now the Turnbull Government.
"The Townsville City Council has committed to provide land for the project within the Townsville City Waterfront Priority Development Area," Dr Lynham said.
"The State Government provided a business case to the Federal Government late last year recommending a $250 million centrally located best-practice regional stadium with a seated capacity of 25,000."
Townsville MP Scott Stewart said the preferred option would also allow for the integration of an entertainment centre component at a future date, should funding become available.
"We need to have an eye to the future and we need to be planning for that future to rejuvenate and grow our region," Mr Stewart said.
"What we don't need are excuses from a Federal MP who clearly hasn't done the hard work needed to deliver."
"Thuringowa MP Aaron Harper said the time for talk was over.
"If the Turnbull Government wants Townsville to take them seriously, they need to start taking Townsville seriously," Mr Harper said.
"This resilient region has stared down its fair share of challenges in the past year and we're getting back on track, but to help us on that journey what we urgently need is a Federal Government that's genuine about partnering with and willing to put real money into a real vision for growth."

He took on the best in the world in Miami and won.
Portrush bodybuilder Richard Robinson was crowned 2015 DFAC (Drug Free Athletic Commission) at the weekend, exceeding his expectations of a possible fifth place.
The 38-year old has only been competing in the sport for the past five years which makes his achievement all the more impressive and he is very keen to point out that it is all done unassisted and totally drug free.
Rich qualified for the Worlds by competing in the British Championships at the start of October, maintaining his strict diet in preparation for the worlds from that point meaning he had completed a gruelling 30 weeks dieting.
However, his commitment, determination and discipline paid of this weekend as he lifted the World title, saying: "I am completely overwhelmed.I'm still trying to compute what has happened.
"It's been a very surreal experience, competing against the best in the world, sharing the stage and being in the same show as the superstars of natural bodybuilding was amazing in itself.
"Before the show, when I saw my line up, I must admit I was pretty intimidated, but this maybe worked in my favour as I decided that I had to go out and enjoy every second of the experience.
"The pressure was off as my expectations were lowered. I knew I was in the best condition of my life, I knew I could do no more personally, but I didn't think that would be enough, especially as the athlete who beat me in the Britain finals was in the line up. Then of course they were the Americans to take into consideration!
"After the morning round I knew I was in the best condition in the class, but didn't think I had enough size to push for the win.
"In the evening show after our routines and final pose down I had a good idea I was fighting for second or third. Amazing I thought! When third place was announced, I was getting excited , thinking I have just placed second in the world, but when they announced Peter Batai, the British champion in second.
"I was suddenly quite deflated as I thought I had missed out on a top three spot as I definitely wasn't first. "When they announced my number as the winner then called my name, I just stood there looked like a rabbit caught in headlights. After that it must be admitted that I was not very cool calm and collected, I hollered like an idiot and couldn't stop smiling. I am still floating about on cloud 9,it's been a crazy weekend that's for sure!"

Your body needs minerals and minerals to stay healthy. Carbs are fuel, but nutrients are needed to nourish your body as well as help it run properly. Make sure that your family members are getting all that they need. Keep reading to find out how to make your diet healthier.
Vitamins are essential in helping you get the most from exercise.The right nutrients will make it easier to burn fat and increase muscle mass.
Vitamins and minerals need to be synthesized if your body wants to use them, it is essential that you know how vitamins and minerals react with one another. For example, iron cannot be absorbed if calcium is taken at the same time.
Iron is an essential for producing red blood cells. These cells transport oxygen to areas of oxygen. Women typically need a higher dose of iron.You may be iron deficient if you are experiencing fatigue or breathing difficulties.
Vitamin supplement are more important these days. A simple multivitamin can help to replace these lost essential nutrients.
Some women think it's a good idea to take these vitamins when not pregnant for their nails and hair. This is not take it in iron.
Vitamin C is plentiful in things like citrus fruits as well as other fruits and vegetables. Supplements can be taken if you don't get enough fruits and vegetables. This important vitamin can help treat and prevent colds, gum disease, skin infections, skin infections, and colds. Studies have also shown that people dealing with Alzheimer's, dementia and ADHD.
You may also want to add to the benefits of a multivitamin to your diet.
Talk to your family doctor about any nutrient deficiencies. This needs to be addressed before you to nip any problem in the bud.
Question information sources about supplements. Question everything when it comes to the information you read or hear. If you have doubts at all, ask your doctor.
Manganese is a wonder vitamin that you should be taken regularly in the recommended dosages. Manganese heals wounds quicker and form bones. It is also used to speed up how the metabolic process. This can be found in whole grains, almonds, beans and tea. You can also get supplements at the nutrient in your system.
Use caution with any supplements you take supplements. Though your body benefits from minerals and vitamins, to much can hurt you. This occurs when too many supplements are taking an abundance of supplements; it can have very bad consequences. The effects of these supplements depend on which ones they are, but an excess of some nutrients can be life-threatening.
Vitamin B12 does not absorbed by everyone; this is especially true for older people. You may eat a lot without absorbing enough.
Eat vegetables which have been lightly cooked or are raw. Cooking food of natural vitamins. Steaming is a way to cook without getting rid of cooking your food and keeping the vitamins intact. Flash frozen vegetables still have high vitamin content also, just make sure you don't overcook them.
Try eating raw or steamed.The cooking process often removes vitamins within the food.Steaming won't make them taste good without getting rid of their vitamins. You can enjoy flash frozen vegetables that maintain a high amount of vitamins in them, but don't overcook.
It may seem like nothing, but the side effects can often be dangerous. Don't cause potential harm to your child get hurt by your ignorance.
The truth is out: supplements are just as good for you as those which come in the food you eat. A supplement may not be as easily absorbed, but a good one can provide essential support to a good diet. Try a multivitamin!
Cook up fresh meals as often as possible and only cook the amount you plan to eat in that sitting.
Make sure you get have 100% of your RDA or the recommended daily allowance for every nutrient you're trying to take.

Your body stores up fat because it feels it needs to have a reserve source of fuel. You can burn fat instead of vitamins and minerals. It is similar to drinking excessive amounts of water in order to shed pounds. When the body feels something it doesn't need, it will expel this as quickly as it can.
Carbohydrates can boost your mood.Carbohydrates produce serotonin which leads to a better mood. So make sure that your carbs!
If you want your body to function at its highest level, you need vitamins and minerals. It is important not only for children, but adults too. Remember the simple tips above and use them to ensure everyone in your home is getting the vitamins and nutrients they need to be strong and healthy.

Deer are fully capable of defending themselves and their young. The females are protective of their young in the spring. Male deer or stags should be avoided in autumn from mid September to late October during the rut.
They fast which causes their testosterone levels to increase which in turn increases their aggressiveness and power. They've been known to take out their aggression against trees.
While I was out for several weeks in the woods at some point a deer smashed into a tree about 10 feet away from where I had setup camp. It occurred around 12:05 am or so and put the fear into me to say the least.
The sound was as though a truck slammed into the side of a building. I remember the sound of the tree resonating as it wobbled under the pressure. I was sleeping in a tarp tent I had set up on a large boulder close to a small cliff beside a lake.
The deer didn't like me being there.
Have a look at the YouTube video top right where you'll see a mother defending her young while in the
You need to remember that a deer in the suburbs, just like a bear, should be left alone. Do not feed them and be very careful of the distance between you and the animal. You're idea of a safe distance isn't necessarily the same as the animals idea of you being at a safe distance.
In the video you'll see family pets that were in danger of serious injury. Perhaps another good idea for leash laws? I'll let you decide that for yourself, given it could depend on the circumstances. Anyhow, obey leash laws if there are any where you live.
Also, consider your children's safety as well, especially the younger ones who are more susceptible to attacks by wild animals and who can least defend themselves in an attack against them.
The second video to the right will show you a deer attack. Notice what the hunter is doing and how the deer attacks him. Ask yourself, was the encounter avoidable, if not, what do you think the best way to deal with the encounter would be?
Animals can be seen as both predictable given known character traits of a given species, but also unpredictable given their wild nature. As an example, what you consider a safe distance from an animal might be too close in the animals mind, causing it to feel threatened and may provoke a response.
As I wrote in the first paragraph above, there are times of the year where deer are more aggressive, so keep that in mind when planning to go out in the woods.
Here are some links to help you learn more about deer.

So that's it? Jesus is dead. End of story?
In the words of Jacob McCandles; "Not hardly."
He is just getting started. Those last four posts were a super-condensed version of the Gospels, Jesus' human story. Not one of the four Gospels end with Jesus in his tomb.
There are many recorded appearances of Jesus after his tomb was found empty. He appeared to a woman named Mary at his tomb, to two of his followers on the road to Emmaus, to at least twelve in Jerusalem, to at least eleven in the same house a week later, to seven at the Sea of Galilee…
Most believe that Jesus only appeared to a few people here and there, and only to his disciples. Paul tells us though, in his first letter to the Corinthians that he appeared to over 500 people at once. In that letter, Paul basically tells the Corinthians that if you don't believe Jesus showed up alive–go ask the witnesses. There are hundreds of them.
What do you make of it? Do you think me a fool for believing it? Or, could this be possible? If miracles never happen, then no, this is 100% impossible. But we have already determined that one way or another a universe-creating miracle happened. Either everything came from nothing, obviously miraculous. Or, everything came from God, again miraculous. And… life began! Whether it is God's doing or chance, either way it is an AWESOME miracle. Describe it with a hundred superlatives but words still can't convey the enormity of the feat. This universe's existence is a miracle. There is no way around that fact. Our existence is a miracle.
So, we should know that we cannot dismiss things as impossible simply because it is not what usually happens. Usually, universes don't come from nowhere, made from nothing. Usually, life doesn't spark from inanimate things. No one can prove that Jesus actually rose from the dead, and no one can prove that he did not. On their own, our brains cannot say for sure one way or another.
Luckily for us, we have another way to determine truth from fantasy. We need to ask ourselves something. What are our hearts telling us? What do we feel is true? Push aside preconceptions. When your head hits your pillow at night, what feels like the truth? Do you have a gnawing in your gut as if you might have missed something? Do you feel like someone is trying to tell you something? Because if the Bible is true, someone is.
If you believe this was all a hoax, ask yourself why. Jesus remaining disciples ran in fear the night Jesus was arrested. The Pharisees were on the hunt to snuff out anyone who would continue the "lie" that Jesus was God's Son. Yet, these scared disciples go on a crusade, not only risking their lives–but giving up their lives–to make a "god out of a man"? All but one of the remaining disciples died violent deaths rather than stop proclaiming that supposed lie. No. These men believed it with all their hearts, and their willingness to die should tell us something.
2,000 years later, the Church started by God through these ordinary men who somehow tapped into extraordinary courage, lives. Through the centuries, all over the world, brilliant men and women, idiots, and millions in between have heard the Gospel and believed.
Most would suffer some degree of persecution. They believed and would not let go of their belief despite losing friends and family, being insulted, laughed at, called fools. Millions, over two millennia lost their rights, their homes, and their property. Millions more have been beaten, imprisoned, tortured, and even executed. The persecutions that Christians faced in the first three centuries alone were horrifying as Roman Emperor after Roman Emperor tried to extinguish the light of Christianity. Tortures were invented specifically for Christians during those times. Nero would have Christians coated with wax and pitch, hung by a hook under their chins and burned alive at night to light his gardens.
Even today, everything from simple insults to torturous executions, still happen to Christians. In countries such as North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and many others, letting it be known that you are a Christian could easily cost you your life. You risk your life to speak of Jesus, just as his disciples did in the first century. For many in those regions today, their earthly stories end in violent deaths just as they did for Jesus and his companions. Sad but true, look it up.
Not that we need any more affirmation, but all these things shout to our hearts that what we believe is true, that God IS, that Jesus was and is the savior the shepherds and angels proclaimed him to be, and that no amount of persecution can stop the Good News from being proclaimed and spread as long as his children need to hear it.
Stay tuned. A.J.
P.S. I cheated. Half of that was from my book. Hope it rings true, because it is.
