Defenders of the Fatherland Day
Tuesday was the actual holiday for Defenders of the Fatherland (now also generally known as Men's Day). I am the only one in my group who constantly has a man living in my house. Other people just have host mothers whose sons live elsewhere. However, I got to actually see the holiday celebrated because of my host dad, Volodya.
It was a very funny day. Volodya likes his vodka every day of the year, but I guess the holiday gave him a good excuse to drink openly, and a lot. He came up to me at four in the afternoon and asked me (in Russian) "You want in? You want in on the Schnapps?" I said no, because I'm not sure it's appropriate for young women to drink with older men in Russia. He was very sad, but he went out anyway to buy more vodka. When he came back, he sat down in the kitchen and watched the Olympic ice dancing with me while pouring himself shots. He kept trying to get me to drink too, but I kept saying no. Iya came home in the middle of this and got mad at Volodya. She saw the vodka bottled and yelled, "Are you serious?? Another one?!" Volodya looked upset and said, much like a five year old, "But it's my holiday!" It was all very funny.
Volodya also put on his old army uniform for me and strutted around proudly. He showed me all his medals. It was very cool and interesting.
In Russia, people have one pair of house clothes that they wear when they're at home. I wear my Lehigh sweatpants, and today Volodya tried to read them. He knew the "L" sound in English, but got confused at the "H" because the "H" is also the Russian letter for the "N" sound. So he read the "LE" in English, but the "H" in Russian, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he gleefully shouted "LENIN!!" So now he thinks that my sweatpants say "Lenin" even though I've tried to tell him that it's not Lenin, it's my university.

General Engineering Laboratory, General Electric Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
The regions of stability for plain cylindrical journal bearings have been determined analytically here. The linear "variational" equation of motion has been employed to obtain the stability regions bounded by families of load-carrying capacity and operating eccentricity curves. The results were applied to the "quasi-static" equilibrium case for gas lubricated cylindrical journal bearings of L/D = 2. They show that there exists a "minimum" in the stability curves, a prediction supported by experimental evidence. The results of this work seem to bridge together observation on stability at very small clearances and large ones.

The Moorside nuclear plant may not be up and running until the early 2030s, the troubled project's boss has admitted after confirming that Kepco has been chosen to take it over.
Tom Samson, chief executive of NuGen, told the Nuclear 2017 conference today that South Korea's biggest utility has been chosen by Toshiba to take over the unit set up by the Japanese multi-national to develop the Cumbrian plant.
Toshiba, which has been the sole owner of NuGen since French energy company Engie sold its 40 per cent in the project in April, has decided to withdraw after its nuclear development arm Westinghouse filed for bankruptcy earlier in the year.
Samson said Kepco had to clear a number of hurdles before the project can be delivered.
He said: "It's a significant milestone in the sale process but it's not yet done."
These included finalising the transaction with Toshiba and the UK government while securing permission from the South Korean government to enter the UK market.
In addition, Kepco will need to secure (GDA) general design approval to operate its APR 1400 reactor in the UK.
Samson ruled out using the Westinghouse reactors, which Toshiba lined up for the 3.4GW project.
Questioned on the timescale for a completion date, he said: "It's likely to be towards the end of the 2020s or the early 2030s before we can achieve that."
But he said delivering Moorside as rapidly as possible would keep costs down.
"The faster we can deliver this project, the more we can take out of the development phase."
Samson said that Kepco were a good fit for the project because they are committed to the UK, have a robust balance to support investment in the project, backing from strong South Korean institutions and the 'most enviable delivery track record in the nuclear industry.
Energy minister Richard Harrington said that he looked forward to working closely with Kepco on the project.
"It's really welcome that Toshiba has selected a preferred bidder on the Nugen project and I look forward to personally discussing their plans with Kepco," said the minister.
Responding to the announcement, Tom Greatrex, chief executive of the Nuclear Industry Association, said: "This is an important step towards ensuring the UK has the low carbon generation capacity required to meet our power demands for the future.
"West Cumbria has a long-established and highly-skilled nuclear workforce in an industry which contributes £4.3 billion to the North West economy."

PHILADELPHIA – A Lancaster veterinarian is suing her former practice alleging that she was unfairly discharged and that her disabilities were not accommodated.
Tara S. Rabuffo filed a complaint on Nov. 30 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against VCA Smoketown Animal Hospital, also known as VCA Antech, Susan Myers Taylor and Angelica Barbarosa, alleging Americans with Disabilities Act violations.
According to the complaint, Rabuffo, a skilled veterinary surgeon, is a disabled individual who, due to a past incident, suffers from degenerative disc disease, latex allergy and also is a victim of a broken back. Because of her disabilities, the plaintiff requires a number of accommodations, all of which were fulfilled by her previous employers. In 2005, the plaintiff was hired by the defendant, but was not properly accommodated, and was put in danger on several occasions when she was exposed to latex and when she was asked to return early from maternity leave. She was terminated in 2011 and is suing the defendant for violations of ADA standards.
Rebuffo is seeking compensation for all damages, injuries received and all legal expenses. She is represented by Kevin A. Moore of Leisawitz, Heller, Abramowitch Phillips PC in Wyomissing.
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania Case number 5:15-cv-06378

Dallas oilman Trevor Rees-Jones has sold his almost 2-acre University Park estate.
The 12,458-square-foot mansion on Turtle Creek was built in 1996. The English Tudor Revival house has five bedrooms, 6 1/2 baths and eight fireplaces. It was built of limestone imported from England and assembled by English craftsmen.
The Volk Estates property was listed for sale for $15.9 million. Kathy Myers and Lacy Schultz of Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate sold the house for an undisclosed price.
Rees-Jones, founder and chairman of Chief Oil and Gas, is one of Dallas' wealthiest residents. In October, Forbes estimated his net worth at $4.8 billion in its annual ranking of richest Americans.
"Homes in this price range perform differently," Schultz said in a statement. "Currently, there are 12 homes on the market in the $10 million to $25 million range in the Park Cities and Preston Hollow vicinity that have been on the market for a while.
"Two of these 12 homes have just gone under contract," she said. "I think this is indicative of an active spring market for estate properties."
She said Perry-Miller Real Estate has the two pending contracts on the top-market homes.
In 2017, North Texas real estate agents sold 1,652 single-family homes priced at $1 million or more. That was a 21 percent jump in million-dollar home sales from 2016.

Almost every girl dreams of having a Princess Party at least once in her lifetime and if they get to have it, they will most likely create one for their daughter 😉 This theme is awesome cause you could use it for almost any life event (Baby Shower, Birthday Party, and even a Bridal Shower!)
If there are two things every Princess Party needs, it would be:
With that said, we designed the concept of this 1st birthday party with those two important things in mind! This Birthday was held outdoor in a spacious backyard in Englewood, NJ. Our client wanted a simple, but memorable birthday for her daughter, so she rented tables and chairs and we brought in all the decor. Welcome to Bella's Fairy Princess 1st Birthday Party!!
This was the entrance to the backyard where the party was held.
We created these balloon columns to represent the entrance of a castle.
These were the guest table centerpieces. Our client wanted something simple, so we made tulle pom poms, added a crown and some balloons on top of the centerpieces.
Here are some party favors for the Princesses that attended the party. They all received their own Princess cup & Tiara.
Everyone loved the tiaras so much that we saw some adults wearing them as well! ;o)
Here is a closeup of the Ruffled Tutu skirt we hand-made for the Head Table where we placed the candy buffet and all other desserts.
Here are the Homemade Rice Krispie Wands made by the Princess's mom! These were yummy!
We blinged-out some vases and added star wands to bring some Sparkle to the table.
Matching Princess Favor Boxes for the candy display
When we came across this little wire dress figurine and we decided to recreate a Fairy Princess look but making her skirt out of tulle (the top was created with an elastic material and my favorite piece was the little feather that was added to the side as a pendant to really pull the look off), and then we topped it off with a Tiara 😉
Here is a collage of the highlighted items for this event. We really enjoyed working on this event from Start to Finish.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has made it clear that the devolution of more power to the states will enable them control more of their resources and make more of their own administrative decisions such as creation of Local Governments; state and community police, including the state prisons; creation of special courts and tribunals of equivalent jurisdiction to high courts.
Professor Osinbajo, who spoke today, Saturday, at the third Anniversary of the 8th Assembly of the Lagos State House of Assembly, stressed: "thepoint I am making is that states must have more powers and more rights."
He said that he had decided to choose a topic: 'Stronger states and the eradication of poverty' because of the recognition of the fact that the legislature is no longer, in modern democracies, an island, adding that it is the crucial gateway and interlocutor to the most important concerns of the electorates.
"In our case, the Nigerian electorate and those concerns revolve around simple issues. How do we survive, how do we make a living for ourselves? That is the central question of what occupies government; that is what occupies the legislature in this centre of government.
"Perhaps the most important business of governments today is the creation of an environment that conduces to reduction of poverty by the creation of wealth, jobs and opportunities. It is my thesis that the most important structural change we can make in Nigeria is to speedily eradicate poverty and this is best achieved by stronger States, by creating stronger states, and by states I mean, the legislature which is the centre of the state including the executive and the judiciary.
"Nigeria is a Federation of 36 sub-nationals and a Federal Capital Territory. The people, land, the busineses, the schools and healthcare facilities are all in the states. It is simply impossible for the nation to be wealthy when its component parts are poor. The standard of living of the federation depends on the standard of living of people who live in the states."
Vice President Osinbajo said that one of the two streams of thoughts he had in mind is the fact that poverty can be eradicated and that a better standard of living and improved development indices are possible by actions of States.
The second one, he said, is that to achieve these objectives, Nigeria needs stronger states, defining the concept of a strong state as institutions that must work proactively and creatively as independent administrative and wealth producing economic entities.
"The first is that states could by law of the State House of Assembly create their own local governments. However, after the creation by law the state would have to go a step further by submitting returns to the National Assembly which in turn would list the new local government areas to be in the Constitution. It is because the state can create its own local governments that the Lagos state government at the time took the position that it could hold elections into the LCDAs that it created without any other law. But in consultation again with the State House of Assembly we agreed to create a special which is an LCDA law to empower the LCDAs not only to function administratively but to be capable of rendering the sort of services that local governments render. The important point to be made is that after the Supreme Court had said that we had the right to create local governments we have not back tracked on that since then and even up till today, state governments have maintained that position.
"The second is that the Constitution intends that everything relating to local government must be in the province of the State Government rather than in that of the Government of the Federation. The National Assembly has no power whatsoever under any provision of the Constitution, to increase or alter the tenure of the elected officers of the Local Government Councils. Only the House of Assembly of a state has such power.
"The third point is that a state has exclusive legislative and executive authority over urban and regional planning functions. Even with respect to federal lands in states, the Federal Government must seek building or other development control permits from the state. It is to the effect that the state has exclusive authority to make laws on urban and regional planning. Even where federal land is concerned the Federal Government must seek permission from the state.
"The fourth is that the President has no power however good his reasons may be to seize or withhold the statutory allocation of a state or local government."

"All of the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle." A time to take the words of Saint Francis of Assisi to heart, Remember Me Thursday is a day to light the way for a better future for homeless dogs and cats as we light candles in tribute to the beloved members of our own fur family who have crossed Rainbow Bridge and the companion animals whose time on Earth ended without a home to call their own.
Established in 2013 by the Helen Woodward Animal Center, on the fourth Thursday in September the combined lights of candles both real and virtual will create a glow around the globe that will shed light on the fact that just 30 percent of pets in US homes were adopted from shelters or rescue organizations, while more than 2.7 million dogs and cats are euthanized in US shelters each year.

A psychomanteum is a mirrored room specially set up to communicate with the spiritual realm. Reflective objects or surfaces, such as blood or water, were considered a conduit to the spiritual world in ancient times.
Sometimes described as an apparition booth, the psychomanteum dates back to ancient Greece, where a person would gaze into a still pool of water. This silent and steady gazing into a reflective pool would produce apparitions or visions. In 1958, the Classical Greek archaeologist Sotiris Dakaris found accommodation near the Dodona oracle spoken of by Homer and Herodotus, where supplicants would wait their turn at the oracle in complete darkness. An extensive maze led to a long central apparition hallway where the experience took place. There Dakaris found the remnants of a bronze cauldron ringed with a banister which made it appear that the people who were seeing the apparitions would be gazing at the cauldron.
The room is set up to optimize psychological effects such as trance. Its key features are low light or near darkness, flickering light, and a mirror. The dimness represents a form of visual sensory deprivation, a condition helpful to trance induction, the undifferentiated color without horizon producing the Ganzfeld effect, a state of apparent blindness. The Ganzfeld experiment replicates the conditions of a psychomanteum where a state of trance may be induced by a uniform field of vision. In the way of strobe or flashing light, stimulus is provided by indirect, moving light in the psychomanteum. Flickering candles or a lamp are sometimes recommended to induce hallucination. It is supposed the indeterminate depth of the mirror's darkness allows the eyes to relax and become unfocussed, a state that reduces alertness.
Dr Raymond Moody, author of the 1981 book about near death experiences Life After Life, included the psychomanteum in his research in trials of 300 subjects which he recorded in his 1993 book, Reunions. Moody viewed the room as a therapeutic tool to heal grief and bring insight.

They assembled a window by gluing a vertical and a horizontal black strip onto a white piece of paper, then centering that onto a larger sheet of blue paper. Brown rectangular paper was added for the flowers box with overlapping flowers glued on to complete their project.

No joke, six-storey hotel 'too big' for Portobello - McSavage
Plans for a new €40m hotel at Portobello in Dublin are no laughing matter for comedian David McSavage and scores of other local residents opposing the development.
This follows McSavage - best known for his RTE show, The Savage Eye - lodging an objection with Dublin City Council against the 178-bedroom, six-storey, over-basement hotel planned by the MKN Property Group and Tifco at Portobello Harbour. Just under 60 objections, mainly from locals, have been lodged.
The plan "will contribute significantly to the further development and regeneration of Portobello Harbour", said planning consultant for the applicant, John Spain.
Mr Spain also states that the hotel will provide "the catalyst for future development and provides facilities and services in the area", while the scale and massing of the proposal have been carefully considered.
In 2016, MKN spent €10m on purchasing Portobello House and adjoining lands at the location.
However, the council has now put the plan on hold after expressing concerns over the height and scale of the hotel.
In his objection, McSavage states that the planned hotel "is far too big in comparison to other buildings in the area".
He has claimed that it would alter the neighbourhood feeling of Portobello, lead to more parking issues and even more traffic congestion in an already congested area.
Fianna Fail justice spokesman and local TD Jim O'Callaghan is also opposing the plan, along with An Taisce.
The hotel "is out of proportion to the intimate scale and character of the surrounding area", Kevin Duff, of the Dublin City Association of An Taisce, told the appeals board.
"Such a large-scale commercial development in a residential area is inappropriate," Mr O'Callaghan said.
"The height and size of the proposed hotel is inappropriate in light of the fact that the surrounding area is terraced residential.
"The area should be developed for apartments, as the country in the midst of a housing crisis," he added.
However, tourism bosses backed the plan. Failte Ireland said that the hotel would be a valuable addition to the accommodation stock in Dublin.

COUPLES & Marriage Counseling
When a couple comes to Bridger Peaks for marital therapy, there's often a thick wall with very specific bricks that are dividing them and preventing them from hearing one another and connecting. Part of our job, as we see it, is to help the couple appreciate and understand the bricks that make up that wall and how they formed. Fear and hurt often loom as classic components.
Every couple has its own specific challenge. And, although no two couples are the same, there is this unifying challenge around intimacy and how to be connected and stay connected. There is no cookie cutter approach to couple's work. We help couples use the inevitable problems with sex and intimacy to help them grow present time consciousness in relationship to one another.
Some of the issues addressed in couples therapy include:
Conflict Resolution
Communication Skills
Substance Use Disorders
Intimacy Issues


text: Another day, another hat. Fortunately, this one is a bit more unique than the F21 chapeau listed below. This is one of many presents I bestowed on myself when visiting the Texas version of Napa Valley – also known as the lovely town of Fredericksburg. My feet were aching, my liver was being tempted by every restaurant offering flights of cool, white wine and my delicate arms heavy with laden down shopping bags. Then I saw it; the hat that screamed both Princess Beatrice of York and Kris Jenner – that hat that would make Texans wonder if I was one of those tipsy ladies with a lamp shade on her head, or, well, no that would probably be the consensus . No matter, I had to have it. I left that day, happy to have spent time with friends, happy to have my stomach full of good food, and ECSTATIC to finally own something that would help me get in good with the Kentucky Derby elite. My future social-climbing husband would be proud.

Here is a question I recently received from FOODPICKER.org
I have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes and a friend told me I should eat low carb and no sugar. What is considered to be low carb and low sugar in specific numbers?
Answer: A diagnosis of pre-diabetes means that your blood sugars are elevated, but not high enough to diagnosis diabetes. Weight loss, regular physical activity and a healthy meal plan will help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes diagnosis/development in the future.
Following a healthy meal plan means eating a well balanced diet with some carbohydrates at all meals. It does not mean avoiding sugar and eating a low carb diet. Carbohydrates are needed in your diet to fuel both your brain and body. Eliminating them from the diet can have detrimental effects. Although carbs are essential to ones diet, it is important to watch portion size and types of carbs. Choose carbohydrates that are energy dense and full of nutrients such as fruits, low-fat dairy products and whole grains rather than cakes, cookies and snack crackers.

Failings of the international court
Letter to the Times - October 9th 2001
Dr. Gavin Strang (letter, October 9) admits that the International Criminal Court would be unable to act against those who committed the atrocities in New York and Washington because it will not have retrospective jurisdiction. Even if it did, it would not apply to Osama bin Laden, since the statute applies only to "state actors". Indeed, the exclusion of terrorists from its provisions and the asymmetry which this creates was one of the major criticisms levelled at the final draft by several states which have refused to sign.
The very wide definitions of war crimes and crimes against humanity, which include not only rape but the bombing of an art gallery, coupled with the concept of "command responsibility" which would, for example, have made both President Nixon and General Westmoreland personally responsible for the My Lai massacre despite having no foreknowledge of it, create special problems.
The principle of "command responsibility" could also help to generate a belief amongst individuals whose behaviour might otherwise be circumscribed by the existence of the court, that in the event of losing a war they would be found guilty of something anyway, thus depriving the court of much of its deterrent power.
As for Gavin Strang's suggestion that completion of the ratification process would "leave no hiding place for future war criminals", the court's jurisdiction would not extend beyond the citizens of signatory states.
There is certainly a strong argument for an international court, but those who want to see terrorists included in its provisions and the court to function as an effective barrier to truly evil crimes should demand that it be redrafted as a matter of urgency. Unless that happens it may do more harm than good, and President Bush is right not to sign.
Yours faithfully
Dr. Charles Tannock MEP (Con)

Lot 464: Matthew F. Maury
Lot 464: LS signed "M. F. Maury, C. Navy," 23 pages, 7.75 x 9.75, August 4, 1862. Letter to Robert Fitz Roy in London, giving an account of the war in an effort to gain English recognition of the Confederacy. In part: "It has been about a year since I last wrote you; since that time, the war has passed through several phases and Lincoln has tried it on as many new tacks. At first, you recollect, he only intended to repossess and occupy the public places in the South...The battle of Manassas satisfied him that that wouldn't do...His object now is no longer to 'repossess' the custom house and occupy the public places of the South, but to subjugate and exterminate a whole people...The Yankees are fighting for self government they say-they are doing battle for the freedom of man, for a free press, free speech, for free worship and the right of self government...Many Englishmen seem, to think that African Slavery is at the bottom of all our present troubles; no such thing. The cause of them are deep seated and ramified...The old Government of the United States had become utterly corrupt-and it had corrupted people, with or without slavery, the dissolution of that government was bound to occur...And in proof that we understand better than you, the smothered animosity of the northern mind against us, behold the bitterness, the envenomed hatred, the Savage and barbarous spirit in which they are waging this war upon us, Hayman who excited the indignation of the London Brewers to such a pitch, was mild and merciful in comparison to some of Lincoln's Lieutenants...They who hold that slavery is the cause of this war, shew that they have by no means been attentive observers or close students of the American government, its institutions, its operations and people. The truth is, the government had, in many ways and for divers reasons, ceased to answer the purposes for which it was established. In that fact and not in slaves, is to be found the cause of this war." Maury goes on to discuss the economics, trade, and the development of the Confederate Navy. Scattered foxing, some dampstaining and brushing to ink throughout, and a few small edge tears, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a custom-made clamshell case. Maury wrote this letter for publication in the London Times, where it appeared under the title 'How the South Bears the War.' As Maury was already an internationally known figure through his long career in the US Navy and his important scientific studies, he dealt with foreign nations in attempting to garner support and assistance for the Confederate cause. He traveled throughout Europe, where he acquired ships and supplies in addition to his role as a propagandist. This lengthy letter, an example of Maury's devoted efforts, offers remarkable insight into the Confederate mindset at the beginning of the war.

Today we said goodbye to you for the last time Daddy. It broke our hearts. You would have been so proud of the turn out and I hope you could see how many people came to see you on your way, pay their respects and celebrate your life.
I was so proud to hear how many people you had touched, how many people admired you, how many people respected you. I loved hearing their anecdotes of you stemming right back to your Chellaston days and through your RAF days, Nigerian days and, more latterly, your Rotary days.
Simon did you proud by reading that poem. I'm not sure how he held it together, but he just about managed it. Andrea was amazingly strong and a comfort to us.
Thank you for mentioning mum in your thanks and thank you for your words about us. I hope we continue to make you, and mum proud of us. If I am a mere fraction of the people you both were then I shall be happy.
I hope you're having a good 'catch up' with mum up there, I miss you both so very much and will do for as long as I live.
So goodbye Daddy, the world has lost one of it's true gentlemen and I have lost my idol.

Comply with your favorite artists, promote their art work and sell your individual. Pure, powdered pigments will be purchased and used, although some mixtures use oil paints or different types of pigment. The Renaissance noticed the rise of grasp artists who created a great number of the world's most famous paintings including The Last Supper" and "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci, and Primavera" by Sandro Botticelli.
Some artists want oils, acrylics or watercolors; others combine media with jute, bronze leaf applications and even tar. Better of all, these brushes are extra special as a result of they are endorsed and permitted by Bob Ross Inc.©. Cave paintings include pigments reminiscent of coloured earths rubbed onto the rock.
In art, the time period painting describes both the act of painting, (using both a brush or other implement, comparable to palette knife, sponge, or airbrush to use the paint); and the result of the action – the painting as an object. As soon as you choose and customize the perfect brush, you can save it to make use of repeatedly in forthcoming artwork.
Use Painter's new selection brush instrument, including the ability to customise distinctive brush shapes so as to quickly add or subtract from picks with precision and control. Paint with airbrushes, gouache, oils, sumi-e and watercolors which might be so actual you'll overlook you are painting on a pc.
If one defines rhythm as "a pause integrated into a sequence", then there could be rhythm in paintings. In artwork , the time period painting describes both the act and the result of the motion. Novica's collection of unique paintings is a celebration of creative freedom that ranges from personal interpretations of tradition, to exploring the depths of surrealism.

A post with no pictures! (but you can refer to last year's entry)
This year the Autumn Chase was on Thursday, September 19. Autumn Chase is a set of free runs for children up to 8th grade. It is actually several 1-mile events broken up by grade and gender (see link for full explanation). At the last minute, the kids decided that they wanted to run it. Rick and I saw that our team needed help pacing the runs, so a plan was hatched: We would each run the race with our kids and then we would alternate pacing the remaining races. As a mom of young kids, I sometimes feel don't feel like I have much to offer my racing team. Then I realize that sometimes a little creativity is all it takes. Rick and I could both help at the races by working together. Childcare is usually our biggest hurdle, so we look for ways to work creatively around that. Today we did that nicely.
Our son got 10th place, and our daughter got 5th. It was fun running with my daughter.
Then it was on to the pacing. Our team captain, Eric, was there, along with fellow teammates Kylie and Julia. Also pacing some of the earlier races were some local high school track team members. The pacers' job is to run alongside the front runners, offering encouragement and support. I found it to be very different from pacing the marathon! These kids are not trained at all and have no idea how to pace themselves. Most start out too fast and then quickly fade. Our job is to stay with them and encourage them, making small conversation and guiding them to finish the best they can. We want them to have a positive experience with running.
When I paced the 2nd grade girls, I ran/walked with a cute little girl who was telling me how hard it was for her to catch her breath. I slowed down and walked a bit with her, then I asked if she wanted to jog a little. She seemed comforted when I told her I'd stay with her until the end. I have to remember that these kids may have no idea about how long a mile is. To them, it's really long! Sometimes that grown up running beside them gives them the confidence to keep going.
After I paced the 2nd grade girls, Rick then paced the next group of boys, and we alternated that way. All in all, I think I paced 5 different groups of girls, and he did the same with the boys. At the end, it was a little hard to see how HARD some of these moms/coaches are on these poor kids! There was a mom/coach just yelling at one girl at the end (6th, 7th, and 8th grade girls). These races should just be for fun! I felt so bad that this girl was being yelled at like that. I wasn't pacing her, but my friend was. I was proud of how Kylie ran alongside her and encouraged her the whole time. All in all, Eric and Kylie paced all 13 races, with the first few miles being more like 9 minute miles and the last few miles around a 6:00 pace. But I'd had enough with my every-other approach. As usual when volunteering, I ended up having a lot of fun and learning a lot too. I know there's many other ways of volunteering where you are also running (such as leading training groups), and I recommend this type of volunteering to anyone who, like us, is short on free time. One of us watched our kids the entire time, and they even decided to run/walk in a later race together since they grew bored watching us and the other runners! After the races were over and we were getting ready to leave, we noticed people breaking down the course. There were many flags and cones to remove. We started doing that, and the kids joined in with great enthusiasm. At home, we all just crashed that night from a long school/work day and then staying out late at these races, but it was definitely worth it to me!

2 5Ks and A Lot of Schoolwork!
Speaking of the girls, we "faced off" at the Running of the Bulls 5K on Saturday, August 24 in Hampton Cove, AL. I ended up third from our trio (time of 20:03), falling behind Julia for the first time in a race (her time-19:51)! Kylie took first in 18:42, so you can see that Julia and I are much more evenly matched than either of us are to her! My splits were 6:14, 6:29, and 6:34. I started too fast and just faded at the end. Kylie says that you have to "remember how to hurt" to do these 5Ks well, so I hope to do that as we approach the fall 5Ks!
I couldn't pass up an opportunity to try another 5K the next weekend. This one was the Monte Sano 5K, following the Monte Sano 10K held right before. My family came up for this one. Usually the 5K competition is pretty light since you can run both of the races for the price of one (many people take advantage of that). But I faced a 15 year old girl from out of town, and she was tough! Unfortunately for her, she kept making wrong turns (some of the course is on gravel and dirt trails). I kept yelling directions to her from behind! And the women start 10 minutes after the men, so we were weaving through the slower men by this point. Still, I took first place in the end of the 2nd mile and kept my lead until the end, finishing in a time of 20:28 (6:36 pace). Splits were 6:17, 6:54, and 6:37, with .39 (6:24 pace) for the .1. The prize for winning was really nice: $40 to Outback, a gift card for a 30 minute deep tissue massage, a poncho, and a drawstring bag. Rick took the pictures below unless noted.

Gregg Gelmis was on the course taking pictures. Here you can see how tight the first women were in that first mile. I looked down at my Garmin and backed off once I realized that I was going sub-6!
