Civil rights
Here's a story about how members of the Changemakers community are fighting for the rights of waste collectors in India:
Milind Ranade is cleaning up the working conditions of unskilled laborers in Indian cities. Through the revolutionary labor union he founded, Kachra Vahtuk Sanghash Samiti (KVSS), or the "Waste Collectors and Transporters Union," Ranade is challenging corruption, and championing the untouchable waste collectors who have been neglected by India's mainstream labor organizations.
These workers' conditions changed Milind Ranade's life. One day while riding a local bus, he noticed a man who was eating while sitting on top of a passing garbage truck. Shock and fascination led Ranade and two friends to follow the truck to the Shivajinagar dumping ground.

In the isolated villages in the north of Scotland, the villagers rely on the services of the chimney sweep, Pete Ray, and his old-fashioned brushes. Pete is always able to find work in the Scottish highlands, until the day that Police Constable Hamish Macbeth notices blood dripping onto the floor of a villager's fireplace, and a dead body stuffed inside the chimney. The entire town of Lochdubh is certain Pete is the culprit, but Hamish doesn't believe that the affable chimney sweep is capable of committing murder. Then Pete's body is found on the Scottish moors, and the mystery deepens. It's up to Hamish to discover who's responsible for the dirty deed--and this time, the murderer may be closer than he realizes.
©2011 Marion Chesney (P)2011 AudioGo
SuseADoodle - "Audiobook Addict!" - Please disregard my "guided" reviews since it appears that a lot of what I wrote has been chopped off.
"Hamish, Anderson and Blair -- As Usual"
I enjoy the books that M. C. Beaton writes. The Hamish Macbeth books (as well as the Agatha Raisin books) all follow a sort of "formula." For Hamish, Blair kicks him off the case immediately, Priscilla Halburton-Smythe and/or Elspeth Grant show up to complicate things romantically but also help solve the mystery, Jimmy Anderson wants whiskey in return for information of how the investigation is going, Sonzy and Lugs follow Hamish and try to mooch food around Lochdubh, and the crazy residents of this often dreary (weather-wise) Highland village add comic relief, and lots of possible suspects, though this time Hamish focuses in rather quickly on a set of possibilities, etc.
Fluffy, fun reads. Not great writing of "literature" level -- but pleasant, quick read. It's easier to forget the whodunit-culprit than with an Agatha Christie novel, so I often relisten to the Hamish Macbeth stories after about a year.
Some reviewers may claim Hamish is lazy or bumbling. He is neither. He isn't lazy. He just likes his life too much to let anything change it -- especially any kind of promotion that would move him out of the village police station or force him to get rid of his beloved pets.
"Good but a lot of dead people"
I enjoyed this story. The descriptions of the Scottish Highlands make the book enjoyable for me, and I found the characters in this particular story interesting and fairly well developed. This is a book in a series, so you might want to begin with the first one rather than jumping in with this one as I did. One thing: there are a lot of murders in this book, and some of them seem unnecessary to me. The ending is a little pat with regard to the murderer specifically, but extra time is taken to wind down the other plot lines, and I appreciated that. Fine narration.
Online Grad Student, I prefer audiobooks to bound books. Preferences: history, disasters, Preston/Child, Lee Child
"Hamish MacBeth"
Only listen to MC Beaton's Hamish Macbeth's audiobooks when they are narrated by Graeme Malcolm. Davina Porter totally butchers his character.
Retired "Okie" librarian & happy to have found Audible for good stories & staying in touch with new authors & books.
"A clean & easy murder mystery with local color."
Yes, after awhile I may listen again. It is only 5 hours, pleasant narrator voice, & set in the Scottish Highlands.
It was a good story told without gore or heavy sex. It is set in one of my favorite regions (Scottish Highlands) & peopled with clever villagers & Police Constable Hamish Macbeth.
Malcolm is a great voice for Hamish Macbeth and manages the different accents and genders as a pro.
In several places I did laugh out loud. The book evokes pleasant memories of traveling in Scotland.
"Sleepy Town Murders"
I haven't read the book, only listened to the audio version. I don't know that it's any better, per se, but the story is certainly enhanced by a good narrator. The narrator for this story was a perfect choice!
The story has many twists and unexpected turns. While the story is mainly based on rather grim murders, I found several occasions to laugh out loud. It was a wonderful listen.
One of my favorite scenes is when one of the old twin sisters' calmly take care of an intruder. This was one of the parts that made me laugh.
Anyone who enjoys audio books, especially one read by a very talented narrator, will find themselves lost in this story....if you listen while you're walking, you'll go another turn or two around the park just to find out what happens next. I recommend this audio book.
"great story, loved the narrator"
Nice murder mystery, the end was quite satisfying. It is nice to read a book where the author actually writes an ending! Loved the narrator, did a great job (as far as I could tell) with the different Scottish accents.
"Something is up with this book. . ."
The Hamish MacBeth series is one of my favorites, but this book is a Hamish MacBeth mystery inside a comment (or perhaps, a fit?) by MC Beaton, I guess about publishing today. It seems to have a murder and some kind of non-lethal accident or crime in each chapter! By the end it's almost tongue-in-cheek humor. Odd.
"Another great Hamish story"
Another great Hamish story & it was narrated by Graeme Malcolm who fits the character better than Davina Porter except he did not sound as Scottish in this one. Why? That is part of the charm of the audio books vs. Reading.
A procedural with local humor set in rural Scoootland, the story is simple and refreshing as a mist off a moor. Great car listening as it is fun without requiring all that much concentration. So you can text while you listen, and someday be the center of your own murder mystery.
"Painting Human Nature"
Ms. Chesney paints a very insightful portrait of human nature in this episode of the perils of Hamish Macbeth. Even Hamish is colored with the flaws of selfishness as he seeks to unravel the mystery of why a retired army officer is murdered and stuffed up a chimney. In fact, just about every character in this landscape of life in the isolated villages of northern Scotland is colored with some shade of flawed nature, ranging from fearfulness to an egotistical and insane pride that destroys the lives of at least twelve people and deeply affects the rest of those pictured. And what is the focus of all this trouble; stolen money and the deceitful promise of power and wealth. In the end it tells with a smell that can't be covered. If you're a student of human nature you will find in this painting a depth worth viewing.

Who else is fed up with no clan ops?
Like (1)
I mean seriously wtf is the problem? Plenty of lonewolf garbage and oh you can take your fn picture with a chicken? who gives a crap about that...ummm theres alot of people who are in clans whats the hold up? Im coming to the conclusion elite is pretty much a worthless piece of trash along with the lag in this game.
I guess you get what you pay for...and apparently you guys bought a piece of SHlT service.
clan ops is free....early and discounted DLC is what you paid for.
I'm pissed. I threw my money away!!
The same great activites you remember and love and never got to participate in, at an EVEN GREATER PRICE!!!
Sign me up!
Please, dear GOD no... hahaha
Hopefully, though, by the time that's out, we'll have the features that we SHOULD have, now.
If Black Ops 2 offers it in their harden package it, my dumbass is still going to get it just for the DLC part of it.
I could give a rats ass about clan ops, what good is it when boosting and hackers are going rampant? When they fix that and the leaderboards only then will I care.
They never anticipated how much boosting would happen (in clan ops), and how they are going to deal with it.
The first ops took how long before all the XP was properly awarded?
Geez... At least we get early DLC... oh wait, it is not fun because you can only play 2 maps in games modes that you hate.
Hopefully, it will be cheaper..
it can't be that hard to worm out the boosters, i did it in 30 seconds. just look at the top 10 in the leaderboard and then pick a couple of lower randoms.
and why no hardcore challenges, i hate playing gay mode.
so you perfer b!tch core where the objective is to hide in the thickest bush?
I agree it is frustrating, but its only a perk to the PS3 monthly content drop. Why they cannot explain the problem is the problem to me.
Spoke to the live support guys a few times, none would give a straight answer untill one of them finally admitted they couldn't deal with all the validations they had to do on the Clan Ops that actually happened. Only 2 wasn't it? Lots of pressure, poor them, boo hoo. But they got our money so their happy.
Even then they wouldn't even give a vague date of when it would be up and running.
First class customer service, Virgin Media would even be proud of them.

Thank you so much for the sweet feature this week girls! Have a wonderful weekend full of football and food!!!
I am three weeks into a month of eating the Wahls Diet which is all about eating the right nutrients for brain health. I'm sharing a recipe which may sound odd: Sardine Avocado and Citrus Salad. Have you ever actually tried a sardine? They are actually pretty tasty, reasonably priced and have lots of good nutrients like omega-3s, calcium and protein without the mercury that larger predator fish like tuna have. I ate them once a week while I was pregnant and I still do as a breast feeding mom.
I also linked up a post on several of the strategies I've developed to make sure I get all my nutritious food everyday:

Style Value Fit Durability I have bought several pair of sunglasses and liked some, but these are like putting a wet blanket on a fire. I can finally put on sunglasses and I never squint.

Perfect Fit!!
Review by: Gareth -
Style Value Fit Durability This is my first MJ sunglasses and I am very pleased to have taken the plunge and spend the money for this. I have a flat nose bridge so finding sunglasses that will sit on my nose plus have a style that looks good on me is hard to come by. Once I put the Black Coral on, I knew I HAD to buy them. It fit PERFECT!! Only downside is that it is a little heavier than my Kaenon's but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I preferred the Black frame/Grey lens but LensCrafters only had the Bronze in stock. No biggie!! It just gives me more reasons to buy a 2nd pair in Black/Grey!!

Outstanding lenses, look and fit
Review by: Tom R. -
Style Value Fit Durability I've been wearing MJ's Kahuna for the last 13 years, and loved them. I lost them recently and decided to try a new look. The Black Coral are more than satisfying. I have a larger head, more square than round, and they fit and look fantastic. The width is perfect and my face does not look "pinched" by the glasses. More importantly, they are a perfect and comfortable fit and weight. The lenses, per usual, are excellent and colors and contour of images are crystal clear. These sunglasses are excellent. If you think eye protection, clarity, fit, style, and value are important, you cannot go wrong.

Not my favorite pair but.........
Review by: Phillip -
Value Fit Durability Style Bought these as a back up when my Kahunas were being fixed. Broken lens, oh well they are glass after all. These are good for what they were purchased for but I would never wear them every day. Have been looking at a pair of Mavricks and I think they will be my next purchase. There is no substitute for quality and Maui Jim serves up quality like no other! They should come with a disclaimer, "CAUTION MAUI JIM'S MAY BE HABIT FORMING!"

Best sunglasses ever!!!
Review by: Rodney -
Style Value Fit Durability I own a pair of Typhoons about 8 years old and recently dropped them . The frame cracked and so did my heart! Today I purchased the Black Corals and my heart is on the mend. Great sunglasses!! I will never buy anything but MJ's ever again in life. These are my third pair of MJ's in 15 years. Great value!!!

Collectors' Choice
Review by: Mell -
Value Fit Durability Style I'm a Maui Jim collector,also Ray Bans and Oakleys, I bought mine,the Matte Black/Neutral Grey at Solstice Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton Ca. and i think it's my 11th MJ (12th is the HCL Bronze). Because i got a large head, round face, this is the one that fits me most so far in the full metal frame series and i'm loving it.The only bad thing is the weight.
(Posted on 3/30/13)
Best Sunglasses I Have Purchased
Review by: Steve -
Style Value Fit Durability I was on vacation in Oahu and walked into a sunglasses store in a hotel and spotted these on the shelf. I have a pair of Ray-Bans that keep sliding down my nose so was looking for something different. I tried the Black Corals on and they fit great and looked good too. I tried others and also looked at some Oakleys. I kept going back to the Black Corals so pulled the trigger on them. I don't want to take them off.
(Posted on 3/17/13)
stylish protection
Review by: CP -
Style Value Fit Durability My second pair of MJ's, and could not be more pleased with my Black Corals. I got them in the HCL Bronze. I like the 'heavy' feel, iit feels secure on my face and durable. My other pair is a Black w/ neutral grey Kahuna, which has a similarly 'heavy' feel. The quality is evident as soon as you put them on, and once you step outside into the sunlight the protection is evident immediately as well. I have very sensitive eyes, and feel these glasses are worth every penny.
I've purchased other 'quality' brand sunglasses but wish I could have that money back to credit towards another pair of MJ's.(Posted on 3/3/13)
Love them! Nothing like them!

#18158 closed enhancement (fixed)
Meta Query for posts with a meta key not set (IS NULL).
Reported by: | johnnyb | Owned by: | georgestephanis |
Priority: | normal | Milestone: | 3.5 |
Component: | Query | Version: | 3.2.1 |
Severity: | normal | Keywords: | has-patch needs-unit-tests commit |

In the meta_query, we should be able to query for posts that don't have a certain meta key at all. I suggest a syntax something like this:
... meta_query => array( array( 'key' => '_my_special_meta', 'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS' ) ) ...
Alternately this could be handled invisibly along the lines of:
... meta_query => array( array( 'key' => '_my_special_meta', 'value' => 'a_value_this_might_have', 'compare' => '!=' ) ) ...
This could be done using a left join, and not some sort of special case like above. Since it's a left join we may have to be careful that we don't end up with a bunch of junk rows in the query, however.

Definitely something worth adding. An explicit compare value, such as 'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS', would be better, IMO.
comment:3 markoheijnen — 19 months ago
I was playing with it. I am not sure what the solution will be. The query now is pretty hard since it does a INNER JOIN on all meta keys/values. So a WHERE seems not to be possible.
How I see it there should be an join on the post_meta table and join on the meta key. Somehow that looks like an ugly solution to me since you need te keep track on the naming of it.
For a singular meta-query you can do only one join to the post_meta table I guess.
Each inner meta query is one join. So for the NOT EXISTS case, it could be:
... INNER JOIN wp_postmeta as m1 ... AND m1.meta_key != $meta_key
comment:5 scottconnerly — 19 months ago
- Cc scott@… added
Actually, this should work:
... LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta as m1 ... AND m1.meta_key IS NULL
This can be done for as many queries as necessary.

- Summary changed from Meta Query for posts with a meta key not set. to Meta Query for posts with a meta key not set (IS NULL).
Hi there,
is there any chance this will be implemented ?
as far as I know there are no wyas to do this without resorting to custom queries rigt now
would be nice as as wp grows one expects it to be able to this 'out of the box'
hope i can find time to delve into the pb
comment:10 Master Jake — 17 months ago

I agree with the explicit 'NOT EXISTS' option. You could string it in with other queries using the relation 'OR' to achieve the proper result.

I'm attaching a first draft of a patch for this. It's not ideal, and I'm sure there's a better way to do some of the bits, but it's a functional proof of concept. (or should be, I'm going to double-check and test it this evening, but it should be structurally sound based on other similar things I've done)

comment:14 scribu — 17 months ago
So, if it's an INNER JOIN, how could meta_id ever be null?
Oh drat, I left it as INNER JOIN, didn't I? I meant for that to be LEFT JOIN. My bad.
Basically, if it can't find anything to join to, it will just return 'NULL' for those values. So if you test for NULL in a field that would never be null if a value is returned (like post_id for instance, like I have) -- it will tell you if it found something to join with, or came up empty.
The only thing I haven't considered if what if there's multiple instances of a meta_key -- if that would return multiple rows in the final result. I wrote it assuming a max of 1 per. I'll need to test for that.
comment:16 follow-up: ↓ 17 georgestephanis — 16 months ago
Usage would basically be ...
$my_query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_query' => array( array( 'key' => 'foo', 'compare' => 'not exists', 'value' => null, ), ) ) );
'value' has to be included, or the meta_query gets skipped. However, it is entirely ignored for EXISTS and NOT EXISTS meta_queries.
I would also recommend upgrading the db version and adding an index to the meta_key column in wp_postmeta -- the idea had some support in IRC, and it would make the join much more manageable in large sites.
comment:17 in reply to: ↑ 16 scribu — 16 months ago
Replying to georgestephanis:
'value' has to be included, or the meta_query gets skipped.
That should not be the case, as you're able to specify 'meta_key' without 'meta_value' in the main query, for example.
I would also recommend upgrading the db version and adding an index to the meta_key column in wp_postmeta
Upgrading the db version is necessary only when modifying the schema. I thought the meta_key column already had an index. We should add it if it's not there.
Oh, I must have missed it going in then -- I just ran a clean install to test, and it does in fact have an index -- my mistake!
And testing -- I think I just got confused earlier, you're completely correct. The value isn't necessary.
As I had mentioned before -- there probably is a more correct way of doing this with different values, and please let me know what that would be, this is just the simple fix that works and adds the functionality in. :)
Thanks for the feedback, scribu!

18158.3.diff is just some minor cleanup. I moved the if block before the original $join lines, to avoid a little extra work.
comment:25 scribu — 16 months ago
Example usage:
$q = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_query' => array( array( 'key' => 'foo', 'compare' => 'EXISTS' ), array( 'key' => 'bar', 'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS' ) ) ) );
comment:26 scribu — 16 months ago
Actually, 'compare' => 'EXISTS' is totally unnecessary. Doing an INNER JOIN is enough to ensure that the value is not null.
comment:27 scribu — 16 months ago
With 18158.4.diff, 'compare' => 'EXISTS' still works, but you can skip it altogether.
comment:28 scribu — 15 months ago
18158.5.alt.diff replaces NOT EXISTS with IS NULL, which seems more consistent with the other options (closer to SQL terminology).
comment:29 nacin — 15 months ago
NOT EXISTS probably fits better here, and does have a tie-in for SQL terminology that is probably more relevant: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/exists-and-not-exists-subqueries.html.
comment:30 follow-up: ↓ 32 scribu — 15 months ago
I fail to see the relevance of that link. There are no subqueries involved.
When you write 'compare' => 'BETWEEN', that's what the generated SQL contains. It should be the same for 'compare' => 'IS NULL'.
Quite frankly, EXISTS and NOT EXISTS is a much more straightforward and simpler to understand way of phrasing what we're trying to achieve. It's simple, descriptive, and will do the job. I'm fully in favor of EXISTS and NOT EXISTS. If you want to include other options as well, go ahead, but I'd recommend including these two at a minimum.

While there is no subquery involved, there very well could be. Here's that query, above. The point is, this is the standard way of checking for existence, not the left join. The join simply happens to be more performant in my brief testing.
When you write 'compare' => 'BETWEEN', that's what the generated SQL contains. It should be the same for 'compare' => 'IS NULL'.
Yeah, but it's only NULL cause of the LEFT JOIN and that meta_value cannot be null. It's not very intuitive for someone who is used to an ORM or raw database management to recognize what WordPress is using IS NULL to achieve. NOT EXISTS is far more obvious regardless of what we translate it to.

Ok, nevermind. We'll stick with NOT EXISTS.

scribu: I think we need a if() continue; statement before it deals with the value part of the where clause ... EXISTS and NOT EXISTS are all referring exclusively to the meta_key -- if they accidentally specify a $q['value'] it may add on some extra where conditionals, which I don't think we want.
Also, for EXISTS, wouldn't a multi-parameter join most often be more efficient than a single-param join and a where clause? Or do they break down to the same in the MySQL server's compiler?

I don't know. Do an EXPLAIN and share what you find out.

Sure; we should skip adding any SQL for meta_value for NOT EXISTS.

They distill down to the same thing, but the consensus seems to be that keeping the filter in the WHERE may be more readable later.

comment:45 WraithKenny — 9 months ago
Does this make it possible to orderby a meta_value and not exclude records lacking the meta?
I've tried a bunch of things, including:
'meta_query' => array( 'relation' => 'OR', array( 'key' => 'geo_public', ), array( 'key' => 'geo_public', 'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS', ), ),
but it seems the first trumps the 2nd. It does work if by itself.
You're doing it wrong.
Meta query is an array of arrays of comparisons. You're nesting stuff one level above where it should go.
comment:47 scribu — 9 months ago
WraithKenny's query is correct, in syntax: the outer array contains the 'relation', while the inner arrays contain the specific clauses. It doesn't make sense logically, though.
Does this make it possible to orderby a meta_value and not exclude records lacking the meta?
This change has no bearing on order. For making 'meta_query' play better with orderby see #15031
comment:48 wonderboymusic — 9 months ago
order by meta_value with meta_type cast here: #21621
comment:49 WraithKenny — 9 months ago
Sorry, what I meant was 'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS' doesn't work in combination: if you have the other clause, or if you set 'meta_key' to anything. Is that intentional?

I'll move my questions over to #19653 as it's a better fit

This query should work or not?
$the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'category__in' => array(1,2) , 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'meta_query' => array( relation' => 'OR', array( // posts with not key at all 'key' => 'my_custom_key', 'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS' ), array( //or posts with key set to false 'key' => 'my_custom_key', 'value' => '0', 'compare' => '=' ) ) ) );
If i make the meta_query with one condition it works in both cases.
As soon as i add both conditions and 'OR' relation it wont work at all.

Wow. People actually believed this? Why would Saban be stupid enough to remove "Power" from the title? That's a giveaway right there. I'm glad it's fake though. It sounds incredibly weak.
People believed it because the bland promotional copy is NOTE PERFECT. Seriously, this scans completely like a press release. Major kudos to Mesh for it. I never had the patience for this level of effort.
Yeah the quotes, all the info we already knew about PR, Nick, and Saban, getting Mike Ginn and others to tweet about it.... everything was done to, unless you knew about it, think it was real for atleast a minute.
It had me fooled. Usually when people do things like that they couldn't resist to add something so outrageous that it has to be fake. So major kudos to FD,
Speaking as someone who actually has to do public relations? Omitting any trace of individuality or flavor from something is hellish. You are literally removing your personality surgically for the duration of writing it. By any objective measure, I'm a TERRIBLE public relations officer because I'm still demonstratively an individual person who tries to not give people too much of a runaround behind "I can't answer that." I still pretty much act like Chris all the time. That's not how public relations is actually supposed to work. I can't write promotional copy like that to save my life.
kind of ruins the joke when everyone knows its a joke
I would have locked the discussion the moment it went up "so the thread won't be contaminated on April Fools Day." Like I said, if I was running the rodeo I'd have done it on Friday and been confident Saban Brands was too tied up in the KCA to contradict me.
Of course, I'm doing MY April Fools Day hoax in May...

Why Metabones®?
Since its inception, Metabones® has been designing and manufacturing lens adapters recognized among professionals and enthusiasts as leaders in design and workmanship.
Contrary to the popular trend of other factories using an aluminum ring painted black on the camera-body-side, we instead take no short-cut but use precision-machined brass with chromium plating on both the camera-body and the lens sides of our adapters, in order to ensure smooth mounting, great appearance, and durability. The lens side of the adapter features a strong leaf-spring structure, strengthening the adapter-lens connection and ensuring tightness of the lens in order to reduce wear and prevent focus errors and optical alignment issues from appearing.
Metabones® uses matte-black treatment to keep internal reflection to a minimum in order to maintain the maximum optical quality possible with the lens.
Metabones® Contax G Lens to Micro 4/3 Adapter follows this tradition of uncompromising precision, robust build quality and outstanding finish.
- Both camera-side and lens-side of the adapter are made of brass, precision-machined and plated with chromium.
- Satin surface finish - just like your OEM lens and camera mounts.
- Precise fit and solid connection - lens has no play, gap or wiggling when mounted on adapter and no adjustments are required to fit your lens.
- Designed to reach infinity focus while maintaining the correct registration distance required to maintain optical quality of CRC lenses or lenses with floating elements.

Forums >General Running>Do you think running is painful?
So (some) people do run painfully (and still enjoy it)!?
Although running is not painful to me, if it were i think i'd still enjoy it because i enjoy certain types of pain. Muscle soreness and pain from cuts and bruises is enjoyable to me for example. So is the pain from getting my teeth cleaned.
Nausea or headaches, not enjoyable. Lower back pain totally not enjoyable.
My broken rib last summer was only good when it was mostly healed. Before that it sucked because it hurt if i took a really deep breath. So i was winded during my runs. But in the later stages of healing it was a nice comfortable pain.
I hope this doesn't make me sound too weird.
It was excruciating when I tried to run while pregnant; by comparison, I realize normal running is merely uncomfortable. I would describe races as painful.
Painful or not, I do think running is often hard and requires "pushing through" - when doing a longer run than usual, running in the cold or rain, etc.
you mad bro?
If I stopped running just because something hurt I would never be able to run. Learning to ignore pain to some degree has been part of my (limited) running experience. Learning when to run through pain and when not to is a constant test that I often fail.

not lazy, just tired
For me running isn't painful (unless there's something wrong), but there can be discomfort (sometimes substantial). Discomfort can be pushed through, true pain not so much. I think that sometimes discomfort can be misinterpreted as pain, especially when you're just starting to run.
MrNamtor, you enjoy the pain from having your teeth cleaned? Yeah, that's just plain weird.
Not if it makes sense.
Middle Distance Runner
On training runs, even hard ones like intervals, I may experience fatigue, but that is not the same as pain. I'm almost guaranteed to feel extreme fatigue in a race, but again that is not pain. I think the closest I've felt to pain while running that wasn't the result of an injury is the burning sensation I sometimes experience at the end of short races, most notably 800m. Of course there have been many times when the thought of quitting or at least slowing down or reducing the effort has entered my mind, which is what I think those inane posters are refering to, but calling it pain is misleading at best.
2013 Goals: Mile - 7:45 (SB 7:53.74); Run first ultra marathon (Sep 21)
As is usually the case, people are meaning different things by the word "painful".
Runners run.
For me, the word pain is a catch all that aptly describes (metaphorically speaking) what I may have been feeling during a run or event.
It doesn't actually hurt, but for lack of a better word, it does.
"You see an agent, you do what we do. Run. You run your ass off!"
Cypher to Neo - The Matrix
Catleesi; mother of cats
I pick things up and put them down, and when I'm not broken I run.
Some kinds of pain are a warning. Other kinds are a game you play with yourself. The more I run, the better I get at knowing the difference.
I haven't had a pain-free run since 11:50AM, Oct 29, 2009. But those posters aren't for runners...
Sorry to hear you haven't had a pain-free run, MilkTruck.
(Also, I didn't know it would bug you so much if I didn't comment on your painful runs. )
Bad Ass
I don't think running is painful. If it were I wouldn't do it.
But let's talk about what you guys are referring as painful. Painful to me means not running. Soreness is somewhat normal especially after and sometimes during a tough workout. But never pain.
DamarisMarathon Maniac, Ultra Runner
PRs: 24:57 (5K); 51:25 (10K); 42:46 (5 Miles); 2:04:31 (HM); 4:34:09 (Marathon); 8:00 (Trail 50K)
Next: San Francisco Marathon * Chicago Marathon * MCM * Ft. Myers Beach Marathon * Philadelphia Marathon * Space Coast Marathon * WPB Marathon
Damaris Runs with Asthma
HobbyJogger & HobbyRacer
These are all instances where runners have pushed through the pain.
Whether they were all really a good idea or not - I don't know - maybe questionable. I guess the runners that stop running when it gets painful ... what do they do in a 400 meter race? Or a mile race? Or a 5k race? Just run easily enough so it doesn't get painful?
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

I don't think running is painful. If it were I wouldn't do it. But let's talk about what you guys are referring as painful. Painful to me means not running. Soreness is somewhat normal especially after and sometimes during a tough workout. But never pain.
This. And I LIVE for DOMS. It means I'm making myself stronger and proof that I worked hard (going back to the NSAIDs thread, I won't take anything for pain unless it's keeping me awake. During the day I like the soreness. Struggling a bit to walk down stairs or sit down is sort of a warped badge of honor). Dull aches ≠ sharp pain.

I don't normally feel pain during training runs.......if I feel pain, I stop running, walk home, take a nice HOT BATH, grab a beer and enjoy the rest of the day, and try it again the next day....
In a 5K race I feel PAIN for the whole last mile........(5K's IMHO if ran properly hurt bad for the last mile - every time I run one I say I'll never run another one)
Half Marathon - I usually feel some pain during the last couple of miles
Marathon ---- its been SO LONG since I ran a marathon that I finally forgot how bad it hurt.......so now I can FINALLY run another (May 12, 2013 - Providence, RI).
Champions are made when no one is watching
I remember struggling a lot that first year, year & 1/2 of running. I tied my shoes too tight, and it took forever to figure out why the top of my feet hurt (PAIN) so bad when I ran. Pushing further and faster than my body was accustomed registered to my brain as pain. Now I rather enjoy the feeling. But even now, there will be days where I'll have shooting pains in my calves (or other body part), soreness, etc., but it's not the vast majority of my running. Most of my running is enjoyable, and I get joy out of striving to reach specific goals.
All young people feel boxed in, but what you do with the wiggle room that you have, will define who you become.

Entry tags: | meek, photo;meek |
I have written before about my exasperation with my great grandmother, Maxie Leah (Meek) Williams, who was a consumate collector of photographs, but who hardly ever labeled them.
And it only took a little while after I inherited the photo album, begun in 1885, to realize that Maxie had squirreled away older photos between its leather covered wooden covers.
Which were also not labeled.
This morning I focused on the tintypes, because there were quite a few that had been taken in one photo session, and in the same location.
All these tintypes, which are of the heavier weight, bear marks of having been at one time encased in a paper folder, as was common to make it easy to mail them.
Tintypes came into common use beginning in 1856, so these photos could not have been taken before then. For several reasons, I am dating them between 1857 and the end of 1861, i.e., style of dress and hairstyle, composition of the family members for whom I have made definite and tentative identification, and the wholehearted participation of the Jefferson John Meek family in the Confederate States of America, beginning on 27 Mar 1862, when the Reverend Captain J J Meek started his very own CSA unit in Panola Co., MS.
I'm leaning toward sometime in 1861 as the actual date of the photos.
Since I knew these tintypes pre-dated the official "beginning" of the photo album at Christmas 1885, I had to figure out who these folks were who were obviously important to Maxie Leah Meek.
They could have been members of her mother's or father's family.
I looked first at the family of Mary Emily Conner, who was born in 1837 in DeSoto County, MS.
Mary had fair hair, as did her younger brother, James Alfred Conner. Most of these folks had dark hair, like Maxie's. There were not enough boys in Mary's family for these folks to be Conners.
So I looked at Maxie's father, James Alexander Meek. The apparent ages of the people in the tintypes fit fairly well with the Meeks.
I think the people in the photo above are Jefferson John Meek, his wife Henrietta "Hettie" (Donahoo) Meek, and their youngest child, Virginia Tennessee Meek, who was born 15 Jan 1859.
I think this is a photo of my great great grandfather, James Alexander Meek, and was probably taken because he and his father had decided to fully invest themselves in fighting for the Confederacy during the Civil War. I think that reason may have been the impetus for all of these photos, because who knew who would be around at the end of the thing?
I think this is Robert D Meek, younger brother of James Alexander. There was a brother between them - William McEwen Meek - but he died at the age of 5 in 1843, and was buried in the family cemetery in Laws Hill, MS. If this is Robert, he didn't live long after this photo was taken, as he died in a Confederate POW camp in Alton, IL of smallpox on 16 Jun 1863.
I think this is Permelia Frances "Fanny" Meek. She had an older sister, Martha Bolton Meek, who died at the age of 17 in 1857, and I think these photos were taken after Martha's death.
I think this is either John G Meek (born in 1849), or Thomas Jefferson Meek (born 3 Jan 1850).
I think this may be Malsey K Meek, born in 1845.
I think this may be Lucy A Meek, born in 1847.
I feel less certain about the last two photos, because if they were taken in 1861, those girls don't look old enough to me to be Malsey and Lucy. I am almost certain I have accounted for all of the children of Jefferson John Meek and Henrietta Donahoo - so there aren't other possibilities.
I'd love for some other Meek researcher with photos to get in touch with me...
And I believe I'm going to shell out some cash to get a custom mat for these tintypes and frame them all together.

"My educational journey would not have been the same without the scholarships I received as an undergraduate and graduate student at Penn State. These scholarships reduced the significant burden of student loans and allowed me to remain focused on my education. Without generous assistance, I would not have been able to continue pursing my passion and career goals in graduate school."
