text: It's 3 a.m. and I awake screaming. The sound is piercing, overbearing. It takes me a moment to realize it's me. My heart weighs heavy; the tears that fall are even heavier. I don't understand how things can go so well one minute and crumble beneath my feet the next. I know that it's just a dream – that's why it hurts. My dreams are always so hopeful, so beautiful, so possible… But they're just dreams. In reality, I hold on to the false hope that you'll still be there in the long run, that you'll still love me even though I know that you never did. Not really. It's 3 a.m. and all I want to do is get in my car and drive until I find you; to fall into your arms and dream, but it'd just be a dream. I want something real. I want that true, all encompassing, completely passionate, every inch of you is filled… love. I want you – the you in my dreams. The you I deserve. Until then, I'll continue to dream.

Today I overheard a conversation coming from the safety department. One part of the conversation in particular caught my attention–they were discussing employee related auto accidents when someone said
"It is pretty much impossible for a person to win in a fight between a human and a car"
I held my tongue, but I can resist no longer. That statement is obviously not true. I believe I owe it to my childhood heros to stand up for what is right. On countless occasions, I was either a witness to, or first hand participant in the utter decimation of a vehicle at the hands of Ryu, Ken, Chun-li, or Guile. And not only did they destroy the car, they did it within 60 seconds, AND after already competing in several rounds of brutal hand to hand combat. So, Mr. Safety Guy, howsabout you get your facts straight before you start spitting out nonsense and labeling it truth. Otherwise, be prepared for a shoryuken to the face.
Disclaimer/Additional Notes:
- I didn't mention Zangief because he sucked.
- I didn't mention E. Honda because he sucked–not as bad as Zangeif, but still.
- I didn't mention Blanka or Dhalsim because the safety department's argument was that a man could not win a fight with a car. And although I am not clear on what either of them are, I am pretty sure neither is a human being, regardless of what the storyline might claim.
- I didn't mention characters from later versions of Street Fighter II because I am a purist.
- With a few small changes, this post will also work against arguments such as: "Ya right, nobody can throw a fireball", "It's impossible to kick someone multiple times while spinning and being upside down." and "M. Bison on level 8 difficulty is too great of a fighter to be defeated without using a continue."

MERCERSBURG, PA. - A 16-year-old student was questioned Friday by Pennsylvania State Police after a bomb threat was found scrawled on a boys bathroom stall at James Buchanan High School.
The school was evacuated after the message was discovered, but students were later allowed back inside and school was dismissed on scheduled, Tuscarora School District Superintendent Rebecca Erb said.
"Bomb in Building 9/21," was the message found written in the bathroom at approximately 9:45 a.m., Erb said. "There were other scribbles that were gang-related - Crips and Bloods" along with obscenities, she said.
Since a similar incident last spring when a threat was scrawled on the wall of a girls' bathroom, Erb said the bathrooms are checked frequently by staff.

Your Light
In this season of the winter's solstice, may you find light amidst the darkness. May you be filled with a quiet knowing that what you fear, what you resist, what you see as dark about yourself or others, contains within it your path to illumination.
Darkness cannot thrive in the light of your compassionate awareness. It cannot fester when held in loving kindness.
There is nothing so dark in you that I have not acknowledged within myself. I've known terror. I've known rage. I have known self-hatred and pain so great that I just didn't want to be here anymore - in a body or on this planet.
And yet amidst all of that darkness there was light - ever present, always in me, waiting for me to learn how to access its transformative power to heal all that was and is not love.
In this season, may you birth forth the light that is in you, the light that is you. Regardless of your spiritual tradition, you can take a hint from the one who is said to have been born in a stable, amidst the animals, and animal poop, and all things earthy.
Birthing the light that is in you doesn't usually happen under sanitary, already light-filled, smooth sailing conditions. It often happens when you're alone and in the dark and when it smells so bad that you're finally humbled enough to let go and ask for help.
And when you do, know that I am here, that I know who you are, and I know the way home.
I love you,

The moment the Challenge was put forward, the first picture from my collection that came to mind was a floating boat… But hey, it's too cliche! (As depicted in the Featured image!)
Time is running out and I need to find another picture!
Kids playing with Balloons? No…. Okay, Hot Air Balloon may be? Still No… How about leaf floating on water? Nope…. What else is afloat in my photos?
Oh yeah! The floating spider!!!!!
The photo was taken almost 2 years back, on a chilling Winter morning, back in my hometown in Kannur, Kerala, India.I was out for a "nature walk", bracing the cold, through the picturesque paddy fields, clicking at everything in and around! And then I found something unique! A beautiful spider, resting on its web which was decorated with dew drops!
I have done some image editing, making the spider web Black and White and the spider in its "true color" !!!!
Hope you guys enjoy the pic!
Don't forget to see my collection of pics taken from Sikkim, a North Eastern state in India.
Posted as part of Daily Post weekly photo challenge!

Ok, so I now have a blog. Not done this sort of thing before, but I'll give it a go.
Yesterday I cut my hair, it was nearly elbow length but now it's just past my shoulders. I like it like this much better than long hair, it's much easier to take care of and I just like the looks more.
Today, I had two cups of some the best coffee I've ever tasted. Peet's Coffee, if i'm correct. My mom brought it back from her holiday in America. Two cups this afternoon and it's lasted the rest of the evening (I woke up at 2pm, don't ask.) and even now I'm a bit jumpy. Quickly getting used to it though.
Short blog post is short....But ahwell, can't think of anything else to write.

Suckers are no Problem0

How do I know which are the suckers; on a tomato plant?
Dear Linda:
No commercial grower worries about taking out suckers and you
shouldn't worry about it either. Every branch has the potential to
flower and thus, produce more fruit for your table. The only time
I have ever taken a sucker off was when I was teaching Horticulture
and I wanted to show my students how you could take off a branch
inbetween a branch and then root it to show them how easy tomato
plants could root.
My Best,

The RocketIO Wizard creates an HDL file with a BREFCLK port for each transceiver instance. Only two BREFCLK pin sites are present on a chip, and the following error is reported:
"ERROR:Place - Component BREFCLK_BLK3 has no site left to place."
How do I connect the ports to these pins?
The connections depend upon the placement of the transceiver instances. The BREFCLK and BREFCLK2 pins at the top of the chip must feed any transceiver that is placed at the top of the chip; the BREFCLK and BREFCLK2 pins on the bottom of the chip must feed any transceiver placed on the bottom of the chip.
For example, four RocketIO transceivers exist in an XC2VP4 -- two on the bottom, and two at the top. To create an HDL file with four transceivers using the RocketIO Wizard, you must connect the BREFCLK pin on the bottom of the chip to the two transceivers placed on the bottom, and the BREFCLK pin at the top to the two transceivers placed at the top.

[Series] The scale, scope, coverage, and capability of childbirth care
All women should have access to high quality maternity services—but what do we know about the health care available to and used by women? With a focus on low-income and middle-income countries, we present data that policy makers and planners can use to evaluate whether maternal health services are functioning to meet needs of women nationally, and potentially subnationally. We describe configurations of intrapartum care systems, and focus in particular on where, and with whom, deliveries take place.

Obituaries in the News
LONDON (AP) _ Grace Hamblin, the trusted private secretary to Winston Churchill and his wife Clementine, died Tuesday at her home in Westerham, southern England. She was 94.
Nicknamed "Hambone" by the Churchill children, Hamblin began working for Churchill and his wife, Clementine, part-time at Chartwell Manor in 1932.
She later became a full-time employee whose tasks included typing manuscripts for Winston Churchill.
When Churchill became prime minister in 1940, Hamblin moved to London and took on the additional role of secretary to his wife, accompanying her on several trips abroad, including North Africa.
When the Germans surrendered in Europe, the two women, who had just completed a journey across the Soviet Union for the Red Cross, toasted the victory with champagne at Britain's embassy in Moscow.
After the war, Hamblin returned to Chartwell, which she continued to manage when Churchill regained power in 1951.
When he left office again in 1955, Hamblin was made an Officer of the Order of British Empire. When Chartwell passed to the preservation group the National Trust, she became its first curator, helping to recreate the atmosphere of the family home for visitors.
She never married.
Zara Nelsova
NEW YORK (AP) _ Zara Nelsova, a prominent cellist, died Oct. 10. She was 84.
Nelsova studied Ernest Bloch's cello works with him in 1949, and he dedicated two of his three suites for unaccompanied cello to her. She also recorded his "Schelomo" for cello and orchestra with Bloch conducting.
Nelsova performed as a soloist with conductors such as Leonard Bernstein, Daniel Barenboim, Pierre Boulez, William Steinberg, Seigi Ozawa and Zubin Mehta and appeared with major orchestras in North America and Europe.
Born in Winnipeg, Canada, to Russian parents, Nelsova was a professor at the Juilliard School from 1985 until earlier this year. She played a Stradivarius cello called the Marquis de Corberon and dated 1726.
She performed until 1997.
Allen Walker Read
NEW YORK (AP) _ Allen Walker Read, an English language expert and a longtime professor at Columbia University, died Wednesday at age 96.
Read prospected through the English language, dispelling myths and solving such linguistic mysteries as the origins of the ubiquitous initials "O.K."
Read determined that they were first published in The Boston Morning Post on March 23, 1839: "o.k. - all correct." The term appeared at a time when people used initials for misspelled words, such as "oll korrect."
His other linguistic pursuits included the study of the names that people from Connecticut have called themselves. A list Read compiled contained such words as Connecticotians, Connecticutensians and Connecticuties, which was used for pretty girls.
He also traced the word Dixie to a minstrel show in New York City in 1850 and determined that Podunk stemmed from a native American name meaning "where there is a sinking," or a swamp.
Read was a professor of English at Columbia from 1945 to 1974 and headed many linguistic organizations, including the International Linguistic Association.
Eileen Jackson Southern
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) _ Eileen Jackson Southern, an authority on Renaissance and African-American music and Harvard University's first tenured black female professor, died Sunday in Port Charlotte, Fla. of Alzheimer's disease. She was 82.
Born in Minneapolis in 1920, Southern studied piano and played her first concert in Chicago at age 7.
Southern attended Chicago public schools, earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago in 1940, her master's the following year, and a Ph.D. in musicology from New York University in 1961.
She taught at Prairie View University in Texas, Southern University, Brooklyn College, and York College of the City University of New York, before coming to Harvard in 1974 as a lecturer.
She became a full professor in 1976 with a dual appointment in Afro-American studies and music. Between 1975 and 1979, she chaired the Department of Afro-American Studies, before retiring in 1987.
She wrote and edited many works, including "The Music of Black Americans, a History" (1970).
In 1973, she and her husband, Joseph Southern, established "Black Perspectives in Music," the first musicological journal on the study of black music.
In April, President Bush honored her as a National Humanities Medalist for her work.
Roman Tam
HONG KONG (AP) _ Pop star Roman Tam, known as the "godfather" of Hong Kong's music industry, died Friday after fighting liver cancer for more than a year. He was 52.
Ng Yu, head of Emperor Entertainment Group, Tam's label, said the singer died with his family at his side. He had been in and out of the hospital since May 2001.
"Many of us grew up with Roman Tam's many golden hits. We will all miss him," said Patrick Ho, secretary for Home Affairs.
Once an amusement park security guard, Tam made his musical debut in 1967 with the group "Roman and the Four Steps," embarking on a career that spanned three decades and 56 albums.
He sang canto-pop, which refers to songs in the Cantonese dialect, the dominant form of Chinese in Hong Kong.
Alene Fox Uhry
ATLANTA (AP) _ Alene Fox Uhry, a long-time patron of the arts in Atlanta and the mother of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Alfred Uhry, died Wednesday of congestive heart failure. She was 93.
Mrs. Uhry's memorial to her husband, Ralph K. Uhry, who died in 1955, is the basis of the High Museum's print collection. She was a life director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra board, which honored her as one of its guiding lights.
Alfred Uhry is the author of the acclaimed "Driving Miss Daisy" and "The Last Night of Ballyhoo." Although she did appear in the movie version of "Driving Miss Daisy" _ and spent a day with star Jessica Tandy teaching her to speak Southern _ Mrs. Uhry was not the inspiration for Miss Daisy. Her mother, Lena Fox, was the model for that character.
Mrs. Uhry's daughter, Dr. Ann Abrams, earned her Ph.D. in art history and is the author of "Explosion at Orly: The True Account of the Disaster that Transformed Atlanta," about the 1962 Air France crash outside Paris that killed 106 Atlantans returning from an art appreciation tour.

This boating experience was different than any other we have had. For the past year and a half we've been looking forward to spreading the ashes of my Step-Grandparents in a body of water from our boat. After a trip they had taken many, many years ago out to Seattle and seeing the ocean, they had decided when they died that they wanted their ashes spread in a body of water. That is one of the things we did on this boating trip, however my Dad wanted to write an excerpt on that journey, so here it is...
I know that sounds mean but admit it we all have wanted to do that at one time or another in our lives. Well we did drop my in-laws in the Missouri River this last Saturday but it was at their request. You see it all started at a Thanksgiving dinner at their house back in the early 90's when we were talking about death and burial and cremation. I know perhaps not your standard fare of conversation but you know how families are at holidays, too much wine, too much turkey and too much information. Anyway my in-laws said they wanted to be cremated and have their ashes mixed together and spread on a waterway that would lead to the ocean.
Well in 1995 my Father-in-law died of a heart attack at the age of 69. Howard was a great guy, everything you could ask for in a father-in-law. He took the time to know you and showed a sincere interest in your life. He was the most cheerful man I ever met as he always had a smile on his face. I always wished he would have lived for another 20 years so I could show my appreciation for him.
In 2011 my mother-in-law, Vera died at the age of 86. She was an Iowa farm girl with German descent, that should say it all. As a son-in-law I loved her because she could make some obnoxious statement and I was the only one other than Howard when he was alive that could tell her how crazy she was to say that. It was apparent to everyone that she loved me as her own son and deep down inside (I mean real deep) I loved her too, even though we had our differences. But you know at the end of our conversations or debates we always hugged and said we loved the other.
Anyway back to the story, so this past Saturday my daughter Lauren and Joe had offered to take us out on the river to say farewell to Howard and Vera. It was a perfect day with the temps in the high 90's but a slight breeze coming across the Missouri river. Other than my wife (oh by the way her name is Sue) her brother Chris and his wife Judy were all aboard "Running Bare" (Joe and Lauren's boat).
We launched the boat and floated down river to the Casino's because Howard and Vera loved to gamble and used to go to Vegas 4 times a year after he was retired. We all agreed that would be the special place to make "The Drop". So when the time came for Sue and Chris to gently let Howard and Vera go on their final voyage we all tossed a red or white carnation on the water to honor their lives. As I let that flower go and watched it on its way I could feel the tears slide down my cheeks thinking about all of the great times we had together and knowing we had fulfilled their final wish. It was total silence for the next few minutes and then the stories began. Another beer and another story, another tear and another laugh, another sigh and another deep breath, funny how you can cry one moment and laugh the next.
Another great day on the water that we'll never forget, just like we'll never forget Howard and Vera. God bless them.
One Grateful Son-In-Law
The other great thing that happened while we were cruisin' up the river after dropping off the ashes by the casinos, was seeing a nice 30-ish ft boat with some people in it just gazing at our boat as it past and they told us to stop. So we went back over to them, and turns out one of the couples on the boat were the previous owners of our boat, the boat we fell in love with the first day we saw it. It was so cool to get to finally meet them after 3 years, and talk to them a little about the boat and everything. You could see in his eyes he still loved the Donzi and he said they wished they hadn't have gotten rid of it. I always think its amazing the love people have for a certain boat that they once owned. I think if you've had more than a couple boats, one always sticks out as a favorite. When we asked them why they decided to get a different boat they said they wanted to get an open bow since-when boating on the river-its easier to get in and out of. It was great though to see the love that the previous owner had for the boat that we enjoy and love so much. Not that we really had to meet them or talk to them to get that impression. The boat was immaculate when we bought it, you could tell it had been well taken care of. It also helped that he was a lead mechanic at the local marine center! So a special thanks to Craig for our beautiful boat. We couldn't be happier with it!
After that things settled down alittle. We noticed the cove on the river that just a month ago was open and had many boaters hanging out, had signs posted and no one was there. Perhaps it got too shallow. Maybe they were no trespassing signs. We didn't get close enough to see. But there are a few big sand bars to pull up to. And Saturday everyone was heading north. So many boats on the River. It was a perfect Day.
Next weekend be prepared, we're heading to Perry Lake!

I made the one on the left, and the one on the right I think I got from World Market. I loved the design of those graphs you had to draw in 6th grade math and replicated it on my pillow. But it's very lumpy now, and quite a bit worn. It doesn't quite fit with what I'm trying to do. Note: What I'm trying to do is add some color to my very beige house.
I had really wanted to get these pillows for my couch from West Elm but they are made of silk charmeuse. And I have a two year old. It just doesn't make sense.
Probably not this one tho.
I have made one pinwheel pillow before and plan on making the "arms" thinner and making the pillow large to simulate the one from west elm.
Apparently, the one throw pillow a bed rule was breached when I added another one. I use them both when I sleep, one to hold between my arm and one between my knees. So when I couldn't find this one I had to pull out the old pregnancy comma pillow. Which is ugly to me and to my hubs. He calls it the "comma pillow" and the first time I showed it to him he laughed.....too much.

Clause for Concern: Essentials for Engagement Letters
Your first tool to secure business – and your first shield of protection if that business goes sour – depends on essential ingredients, according to preparers speaking about good engagement letters.
First in the recipe: others' professional opinions. "Good engagement letters, like good tax returns, are not a do-it-yourself project," said Enrolled Agent John Walker of Concord, N.H.-based J. Walker & Co. "It's OK to draft the main points and get samples from various sources, but have yours reviewed by an experienced business-law attorney in your state. Doing so makes sure your letter provides the protection you want and helps that attorney see you as a responsible, competent fellow professional," he said. Read more on Accounting Today.

Blog #80
That was not cool, not cool at all. I went to Toronto with hopes and dreams of running fast and being awesome. It did not work out that way at all. I most certainly did not run fast and I was far from awesome. It was kinda like going to a bar and ordering a FatTire, but then getting a bottle of PBR instead, what a terrible disappointment! (yeah hipsters, PBR is gross as hell)
I'll give a quick race recap, not really gonna be very thorough, that would be kinda depressing.
Woke up feeling good, ready to go. Get to the race. Standard warm up, ready to rock, feeling happy.
Gun goes off; "Just relax, get into a rhythm"
2km; "Hmm…not feeling great, it's okay, just let it come, don't force it"
5km; "So should be feeling better soon…"
8km; "any time now…"
10km; "Oh hey there hamstring what's up?"
12km; "May be a slow day, just stay positive."
12.1km; "This sucks"
12.2km; "I said stay positive!
15km; "2:14 will be good today!"
18km; "2:15 will be good today."
21km; "2:16 will be good today."
22km; "I just hope I can finish."
25km; "I am not gonna finish."
There is something wrong with me folks, something is just not right. I ran pretty well in Rotterdam, I was very happy and encouraged with that result. But since then I have struggled with my running, I have just been off. It has been a mental and a physical problem, I have to remedy this lameness ASAP!
So what do I have to do? Well, a few things need to be done. I think that my first problem has already been remedied. I think all the moving around and such I had done since Rotterdam was not ideal for training. Now I am settled and happy here in a permanent new home base. I have my rhythm and routine all locked down here in Vancouver. This should make the next build up less scattered.
Next, I have to be more well rounded. Before Toronto I was running a lot of volume and my workouts were pretty solid. I thought I was ready to roll because I had the running aspect of running covered. But to run as fast as I want to run I need to be more well rounded in all aspect of life, I need to tighten up the diet, be better in the gym and take better care of my body as a whole. That leads into the next area of improvement.
I need to be healthy. When you are building for a marathon and working hard at this grind aches and pains are always gonna be there, but I have let some of these become more annoying than they need to be. Not gonna get to specific, but I gotta get my body right.
To go along with getting the body right, I need to get my head right also. The fire is there, the love is there and the motivation is there. Somewhere along the line however I have gotten kinda soft. I dropped out of a couple races and have been an overall pansy, that is unacceptable. I have always prided myself on being pretty tough, but this has not been the case over the past few months. I would actually say that I am kind of a pussy these days. I am only rolling well when I feel good, but when the going gets tough I have not been digging and grinding the way I used to. I don't like that. I have always been annoyed by those runners whom talk a big game but are not willing to do the work or nut up in a way to actually make it happened. I'm kinda that guy right now. Gross.
Alright, so Toronto was brutal. Let's move forward on to the next one folks! But before we move on I gotta give y'all my love. Once again you guys were awesome in expressing pre-race encouragement, and post race support, it was awesome. Thanks for that!
Also, thanks so much for helping with the support towards the charity challenge, with your help we raised $635 for the Toronto Alzheimer society. So Toronto was not a complete failure after all, good stuff!
Hmm…so usually I try to add a bit a humor to these posts, but Running slow is not funny! It often leads to me being a sour puss for a few days. I am not feeling silly at all! So I guess I'll just share with you a semi-humorous story about someone else. I am not a character in this story, but it happened in my apartment so I feel like that gives me rights to tell it.
When I was away my roommate got drunk, he was out partying and such and he became intoxicated. He had a fun night. He danced, he sang and he probably talked to some pretty girls ( I say probably because pretty much every girl in this city is pretty, so if he talked to at least two girls odds are one of them was pretty) After he was partied out he came home and went to bed (alone). Pretty standard night, nothing unusual…yet. After sleeping for a couple hours roommate "woke" up, this next series of events took place whilst the roommate was in a drunken stupor/sleep walking.
So roommate gets outta bed, walks straight past the bathroom and to a random corner of our place. He then proceeds to pee all over the floor. He just straight pees all over the damn place! Very inconsiderate roommate, but this kinda stuff happens sometimes. After Canada won the gold medal in Hockey at the 2010 Olympics I awoke the next morning and overheard this conversation between my girlfriend and her roommate;
Disgusted Girlfriend: "He tried to pee on my new computer"
Disgusted Roommate: "That is so gross!"
Disgusted Girlfriend: "Then he tried to pee in the furnace room"
Disgusted Roommate: "That is so gross!"
Me: *giggle*
Anyways, back to roommate. So after he peed all over our place he tried to go back to bed. But due to the fact that he was in a drunken sleep walking stupor roommate tripped and fell and bashed the hell outta his head. We haven't figured out what he tripped over, but I choose to believe that he slipped in his own pee, that would be the funniest scenario. So roommate slips in his own pee, rolls around on the floor a bit and then pulls himself together enough to get back to his bed.
Fast forward to the next morning. Roommate wakes up with a pounding headache. He assumes that it is just because he was hungover, nope! His head is pretty much split in two. He is covered in blood, there is blood all over the damn place. Needless to say roommate is confused as hell. He notices that the blood is not just in his bed and on his person, there is a trail of the stuff leading right out his door. Roommate follows the trail of blood, out the door, down the hall and into the common room. What roommate finds in the common room is just pure horror, there is a large pool of blood over here, and a substantial puddle of urine over there. It is gross, very quite disgusting indeed. But the worst part is that blood lake and urine lake had joined together to create bodily fluid river, this river had snaked made substantial progress throughout the whole damn room.
Roommate spends the remainder of the morning cleaning up this crime scene whilst trying to fight off a brutal hangover and a minor concussion. It must of really sucked for him, but I found this story quite hilarious.
Alright, so I'm gonna go walk around town a bit. I gotta go find me a hot/rich divorcee, I need a new bankroll. Cheers folks!

This blog is damn depressing these days. Even urine mixed with blood doesn't lighten the mood. Shake it off my friend!
"…have not been digging or grinding the way I used to…"?
"…kind of a pussy these days." ?
Do think racing smarter is being a pussy? Looking at running as something you love as well as a career requires some tough choices. If you have a lousy 5k you can easily go out after, throw back a couple and laugh it off to a bad day, then attack another a few weeks later without too many ill effects. Try that in a marathon and you'll be screwed up. ESPECIALLY if you're legitimately hurting with only the promise of more hurt for the sake of some pride and the bonus of being physically fucked up for more months to come.
This isn't some Haile-esque "I don't think I'll set a world record and my pacers let me down" kind of bail out.
Dylan wasn't well in Japan – and he nailed it a few months later. Maybe hold the cards close to your chest for a bit and be a surprise entry at the CIM or something similar.
At Nathan Phillips Square myself and a couple of others were scanning the finish sheets to see how you did, but when we didn't see you in the top few names it wasn't disappointment as much as it was concern knowing that you WOULD hang on and would've been there unless you knew that you could only cause yourself a world of damage if you had stayed in.
We believe in you and that means it's for your ability, how you go about preparing for things, and the choices you make. We just don't come here for shits and giggles (though admittedly the giggles are pretty enticing and awesome…you do have a gift in that regard as well).
So the prompt update and recap was very much appreciated.
The vague comments about getting your body right is a tad concerning. Look after yourself first and foremost.
Be well.
I usually run one of the distances at Scotia but this year I was there as a spectator and jumped in for 12k at 26 with a friend. Anyway, before that I was looking for you at around 28k after the lead pack went by. I saw Matt Loiselle running strong shortly after I saw this kid who manages our local running room store (Lucas McAneney) so I was like WTF? where the hell is RW? Don't tell me he DNF again?!
Man I am not going to put any sweetner on this. YOU got to get your shit together. Treat your body like a Corvette not a friggin Chevette.
I'm a fan of yours and I dont like those speed river guys but I'm not the kind of fan who is going to suck up to you.
I'm that fan who yells C'MON ROB GET IN THE EFFIN GAME MAN AND STOP EFFIN AROUND.
My buddy C. Hesh told me there is a pharmacy in Tijuana……
Sorry to hear about the rough go at Scotia. Setbacks suck but they are a reality of the sport, especially running at your level. The mental component can be brutal – I'm an amateur runner fo sho but I still struggle with getting in my own head when I hit the wall and being lame and weak and defeatist. Not fun! The important thing is that you're aware of some of the potential causes and are committed to fixing them. So kudos for that. You'll get it sorted!
Jenn, listening to A State of Trance will help you push through all your obstacles.
…….He's back … the world's right …
Don't eff yerself too hard in the arse about a few lame months and one really bizarre race. The marathon, as you know, is a humbling gig. Sure, to be your absolute best, you gotta nail every aspect of the training. But if you are off on the day, it doesn't matter how good your prep was. If you feel like shite at 2K, well, that's not because you ate some greasy pizza a few weeks back and didn't do your planks every second day. Any lame doosh can get through 2K on race pace feeling good off of questionable prep. Hell, I do that all the time. No, feeling bad at 2k means something is not right with your body. It's busy fighting some viral menace and hasn't got time to run a marathon. Whatever. You'll turn it around and start hitting all your marks. Youre a 2:13 guy with a bullet. But patience is key. It's not like you can qualify for Rio next month.
We need the Destroyer back! Back to crushin' pussy and runnin' fast!
Don't worry rob. The tuning fork of life will go off for you once again. Be Patient and work hard! Don't listen to the haters.
i wish i could write inspirationally like 'RJ', he has lots of good stuff there!, Anyway I read this blog because i like it and and appreciated the candour. I was glad you could finish it off with a laugh. I like reading of your progress and the journey, forward and/or back. Not many people could relate to the 'instant-star, always on top finisher' that is customarily portraying in the media. Its not sustainable. Worse, more and more folks will suspect there is some juice flowing in their veins…You're the only one who will know how far you can go.
You write about the good, the bad and the funny. That's good for readership! You've got time to get your 'day' too. Its corny but: "Believe!-Trust yourself!, Enjoy the good times that come with your progress. I'm glad you've got a good home base, some sponsors and the drive to get things right.
A quote from a very wise man, rest his soul:
"May the years find you full of optimism and struggle as you enjoy the many wonders of being you. Learn and serve" -B. Quealey.
Hey Rob,
Head up high my man. It will come soon enough. Stay positive brotha!
So you're off to Japan eh?

As a licensed chiropractor, I see many sufferers who return from traveling with all sorts of latest illnesses and re-injured previous ones. Spontaneity, surprise and getting some distinctive values to your holiday jaunt are just some of the advantages of having the ability to travel on the spur of the moment. While you travel lots you baggage will experience a substantial amount of put on and tear.
In some circumstances, the company could have protection in place that you may obtain by them.

It is due to this purpose that travel and tourism courses and faculties in India have gained immense reputation.

It is important to keep yourself updated on auto insurance. You need to find out as much information as possible in order to make the best decisions for your coverage needs. This article provides tips on how to make the best insurance decisions.
Do thorough research prior to purchasing insurance. There are different formulas that every company uses to determine your insurance premium. By researching many competitors, it becomes easier to find a good deal and save money.
Your monthly insurance cost is determined by the kind of truck or car that you buy. If you like expensive things, your insurance will be expensive. Choose something nice, safe and reliable over a flashier option to save big on insurance bills.
Consider the value of aftermarket parts to your car with regards to what your insurance will pay for them. Most of the time, they will not cover those unless they add value to the car, but that may not be a lot.
Consider removing some of the coverage from your insurance policy that you no longer need. If you have a car that is not of high monetary value, you may just want to cover your car with liability insurance. By dropping from this your coverage, your premiums could go down significantly. You may consider dropping comprehensive also, but since liability is on the driver you should not drop that.
There are insurance plans beyond what is legally required that offer better protection. You will have a higher premium with these, but they may be worth it. One good add-on is uninsured motorist coverage, which protects you if you get into an accident with someone who who does not have insurance.
If you are considering signing up with another insurance provider, you should allow your policies to overlap rather than going a single day without any coverage. You do not want to be without car insurance, even if it is just for a couple of days.
Reconsider purchasing costly add-ons for your car. Some things are nice to have, but ask yourself if the money you are spending is really warranted. It is possible that in the event of theft or an accident that these additions are not covered by your insurance anyway.
When you are considering car insurance quotes, the amount of your annual premium will cost is just a minimal part of the factors you need to consider. Make sure you get information on all of a policy's details, such as the amount of your deductible if you are involved in an accident, the limits that are placed on any benefits you receive and the levels on your various types of coverage.
If you want to switch to a different auto insurance company, make sure you have a new policy in place before you cancel the one you have. Being without automobile insurance, even for a short time, is not advised since accidents can happen any time.
Your car insurance is strongly affected by traffic tickets and points influencing your driving record. Conversely, whenever these things are removed from your record, you can see your insurance rates decrease as well. After you clean up your record, check with your insurer about premium reductions or even go looking for a new, better deal.
There is no disputing the notion that car insurance policies are written in vague, often obscure language. The following article will help you gain an understanding of this terminology in order to help you make an informed decision when choosing car insurance. When you are a knowledgeable consumer, you can have a good feeling about your insurance.

They address they educational needs of the children who are otherwise employed in economic and/or social opportunities to support their families. The program also helps build awareness of quality education within the community with the intent of creating new standards for quality education in government schools and teachers.
Children who graduate from rural schools have remained in school longer than their peers and have academically performed better than their peers.

In June 2005 when Julie Kay Stallcup (known to her over 500 dance students as Mrs. Julie Kay) was planning her next season of instruction, she never dreamed that she, her newlywed husband Darrell, and her dance family (her students and fellow teachers) would have accomplished so much in so little time.
Along with her usual hectic schedule of teaching 20-plus hours per week, Julie Kay attended a prestigious dance teacher conference and shepherded several of her most experienced students through dance classes at the Broadway Dance Center in New York, choreographed and rehearsed over 20 routines for her dance team, JK's Dance Company's first competition in November (two of her students won first overall honors in their divisions), choreographed and rehearsed Crescenta Valley High School's fall production of "Grease" and auditioned students for the school's spring musical "Crazy For You," all while pregnant with her first child. Her students (and their parents) marveled as she didn't miss a beat with her signature fast and furious tap shoes and always upbeat attitude, making sure each of her students felt special.

Maya Angelou
There are very few writers I love as much as I love this woman. Her words touch millions of people worldwide. Who among us hasn't picked up one of her works? The most famous of which is I know why the caged bird sings. Inshallah this May I will get a chance to hear her speak and hopefully meet her. She will be at the O'Shaughnessy theater- St Catherine University (St Paul). Its an evening of poetry and I already got tickets for my friend and also my beloved aunt. I can't wait to hear her live recite some of my favorite poems
Still I Rise- Maya Angelou
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

LIVE, THURSDAY, 11/01/12, AT 10PM EDT 9PM CDT 7PM PDT LET'S TALK SURVIVOR PHILIPPINES w/TRAVIS "BUBBA" SAMPSON!!
On Survivor, in seasons past, we've seen the news of a merge delivered in many ways. Many times, it was by Jeff Probst telling the tribes to "drop your buffs, the tribes are merging". But regardless of how the news was delivered, it usually required miles of trecking through the brush and jungle for at least one, if not both tribes. Tonight, both tribes were surprised by a boat, given 10 minutes to gather everything they wanted to bring along, then delivered to their new beach, where pre-chopped bamboo await them to assemble their new shelter. They broke bread and drank wine, while Kalabaw was looking for cracks in the Tandang tribe to even up the numbers. And now that they've merged together to live on one beach, those names will put to rest. They have now become THE DANGRAYNE TRIBE. One person had their Hidden Immunity Idol "discovered" tonight, and another had to play their Hidden Immunity Idol at Tribal Council. Things are about to shake up on Survivor Philippines! Let's talk about it with a Survivor Alumni who has Incredible Passion for the game...TRAVIS "BUBBA" SAMPSON!! He shares incredible stories, behind the scenes info, and insight into the game that will have you watching the show in a whole new way! You can call in with questions or comments to 1-347-237-5506.

Thirteen Island health professionals recently attended at two-day advanced eating disorders workshop led by eating disorder expert Jessica Setnick.
The workshop held May 19 and May 20 was designed to help the professionals serve Island youth who struggle with eating disorders, according to a press release.
Ms. Setnick is a registered dietitian with 18 years of experience in providing nutrition counseling to children and teens. She said eating disorders are a silent epidemic.
"Although Martha's Vineyard doesn't have its own treatment program, the dedicated professionals that came to this training are looking ahead to building a stronger community of practitioners to treat eating disorders," Ms. Setnick said in a press release. She said that by next year, there will be at least one support group in place on the Island, as well as a primary prevention program in the schools.
The Island therapists, dietitian/nutritionists, health coaches and school nurses that attended the workshop earned continuing education credits and expanded their knowledge in treating those with eating disorders.
Island-Wide Youth Collaborative program director Susan Mercier said the goal of the training was providing a network of providers who can support young people living with eating disorders.
Island health officials interested in learning more and helping to educate and support those with eating disorders are encouraged to contact Prudence Athearn Levy, the co-owner of Vineyard Nutrition, at 508-627-3235.

Invite Someone On The Journey
Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Sep 25, 2011 (message contributor)
Summary: Jesus invites us to follow him on the journey from life to death. This sermon compares the belief of faith in Christ for salvation as opposed to good works.
Invite Them On The Journey
September 24 , 2011 Psalm 1:1-6 John 14:1-6
(Some of the concepts in this message I gleaned from Andy Stanley's message on the belief in good works as a means of salvation.)
We have been preaching on the series, "Making A Difference." We've Looked At "We've Got The Best" and "Put Yourself In Their Place", "Stop By The Church We've Got Good News. Today I will do "Invite Them On The Journey. " Our invitation to someone to come to church, can make a difference in their lives forever. We thank all of you for coming who received an invitation to join us on our journey to a deeper walk with God.
Let's suppose for a moment yu are in a place you have never been before. You have no idea how you got there. A person comes out and tells you, "You must go into that room and choose one of four things to take with you on your journey when you leave this place. You may not ask any questions. What you take is yours to keep but you may only take one thing. Leave the room through the door in the back and be on your way." You go into the room and you find by #1 a huge beautiful diamond ring. By #2 a brief case full of $100 bills neatly stacked all the real stuff. By #3 this is a loaded a gun, and by #4 a map of a mine field showing the location of some old land mines.
You know what each of these objects is and you are smart enough to make a decision on which one you may want. What you don't know is which one are you really going to need on your journey when you go out the other side of the building. If you go out and find a car waiting to take you home, you may feel pretty good about having taken the diamond of the brief case filled with money. If you go out and find a grizzly bear coming after you, you may feel good about taking the loaded gun. But if you go outside and find a field that has a sign saying, no one has ever made it alive across this field, without having a map of where the mines are located none of the other three choices are nearly as important as that map would be.
Everyone of us is on a journey. It's called life. We all know where the journey is headed. It is called death. Now death is like that door that we have to enter after we make our choice of what we are going to choose to take with us into the unknown. Now about 2000 years ago, there was a guy by the name of Jesus, who claimed to be the Son of God. And Jesus tells people, "I know what's on the other side of the journey. I know what's on the other side of the door. Not only that, I am going there to prepare a place for you, and when I do, I will come back and take you there myself.
Then Jesus makes this big statement, "I am the way , the truth and the life. No one gets to God, except by going through me." In other words nobody is going to heaven without coming through me. Now many of us who say we believe the bible, we really don't believe that Jesus was right when he said " I am the Way." He does not leave room for other alternatives. Many people even in church , do not believe in a salvation by faith and trust in Christ alone. Many believe we are saved by doing good works. That's why at funerals we like to say how good a person was.
Many of us believe that good people go to heaven. We believe that not only do good Christians go to heaven, we believe good Jews, good Muslims, good Buddhist, and good people who don't believe much of anything are all going to go to heaven. So for Jesus to say, that He is the only way, it seems narrow minded, exclusive, somewhat full of bigotry and darn right unAmerican. Jesus statement is offensive to many and they claim it is very unfair to people. What about the people who never even heard of Jesus?
Now if you think Jesus' statement is offensive today, what do you think it sounded like to those who heard him say actually say it. 'Jesus what are you talking about . We know your mother. We know where you grew up. We know you family. How on earth can you say, you are the Way The Truth and The Life and no one gets to go to God in heaven except through you. First of all, most of the people have never even heard of you."

For those of you who watch my snapchat will know that about two weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending a small concert in L.A. at the Troubadour. The concert featured a pop, reggae, electronica artist named Elliphant. It was the best night of my life… so far 😎. Originally from Stockholm, Sweden, Elliphant has personally inspired and impacted my life in a big way. First off there is her music and the joy and happiness it brings me. She recently came out with an incredible album called "Living Life Golden."
In a behind the scenes interview she did on the set of her music video from the first single off the album Love Me Badder, Elliphant described the vibe of the song as one that you can listen to while eating dinner or in the club. Not only has she accomplished that with this song, but with the entire album! In my eyes, anyone who can create a whole album that transcends into multiple environments that are polar opposite from one another is incredibly special and talented. And that is EXACTLY what Elliphant is. TALENTED AND SPECIAL!
She remains in the middle tear in the music world but still happens to be loved by DJ's Skrillex and Diplo. In fact, she has made a lot of music with them. One of her biggest hits was Only Getting Younger from two years ago, which was produced by Skrillex. This year, Skrillex and Elliphant have come together again and have created an incredible song called Spoon Me. This track may easily have one of the best lyrics on the album: "Spoon Me, hands on my booby, spoon me dick on my booty now." #OBSESSED Aside from being a talented pop, reggae, electronica artist, she also has quite incredible style. She has been featured in NYLON magazine and has even done work with L'Oreal. She used to have incredibly long hair, but with a new album comes a new look, and this new look is dope! Currently fashion is going in a very androgynous direction. Same with Elliphant. She has cut of her long locks and replaced it with a pixie cut. Super cute and fashion forward!
Here is a photo of her from the night I saw her with a friend, and rapper/drag queen Big Freedia… and her short hair.
Along with her beauty and talent, she has also her own charity dedicated to all endangered grey animals. There truly is no one out there like Elliphant. All this said, if you need an album to listen to, no matter what your mood is or where you are, go listen to Elephant's Living Life Golden. It is an album that can be played from beginning to end without skipping one song. However, if you don't have time to listen to the whole album, then check out the following songs first: One More, Player Run, and Spoon Me.
QUESTION OF THE DAY: What was the first song you listened to this morning?
