2011 Missoula Marathon Adventure
My goal for 2011: The Missoula Marathon. All 26.2 miles of it. July 10, 2011. In under 4 hours. Here's the posts chronicling my quest:
2010 Missoula Half Marathon Adventure
2010 marked my first year of running when, at some point in February I made a mental shift to take on the physical challenge of trying to run. That was followed quickly by a need to set a goal to keep the interest and inspiration going. That goal was the Missoula half-marathon, my first ever race. Below are the posts describing the fun and challenges along the way.

We did it! We hit 3000 LIKES!
We did it! Or rather, you did it for us – and we're all very grateful!
Kasterborous.com recently asked for your help in reaching 3000 Facebook likes. We're not vain but we do like to show that our following is ever growing and so we put the word out there on the internet so that everyone could get involved. And the message came out from across the stars…come to Kasterborous.
Any you did!
So welcome, the new people who have just liked us, maybe you're a long time reader, maybe your brand new to the site, maybe this is your first time that you've ever looked up Doctor Who on the internet as you've only jut discovered the show (you're going to have a brilliant time over the next 100 years or so, get prepared to spend a lot of your money on Doctor Who), either way this is where things start to get really exciting.
We also incentivised you all as well; we promised a prize to one lucky individual who took part in this fun little Facebook challenge and we're pleased, proud and happy to announce the winner as Debra Harrelson, who has won a copy of Terry Nation: The Man Who Invented the Daleks!
Thank you to everyone who took part, we really appreciate your time and effort and look out for similar competitions from Kasterborous.com soon!
One Response to We did it! We hit 3000 LIKES!
I am glad i "liked" you guys when i did, as i am no longer active on facebook at all. (not completely sure what my password is/was).
It's a fact, and you can look this up, that facebook is leaking "active" users in various age groups. From what i have heard on various tech podcasts, the sub-18 crowd considers it old school,,, and most those over 35 are becoming bored with their bloated timelines, ranting old friends, and have "friends" that we really don't want to keep in touch with.
I know everyone needs quantitative results, and i feel that this is a great thing for the big K. It is quite an achievement. Combined with google's report mechanisms, overall server traffic, etc, this really shows that people thoroughly enjoy the reporting that they find on Kasterborous. Having said that, I believe the big K needs to create a google plus circle (a service gaining popularity in the tech/nerd crowd i am associated with), as well as an active twitter and instagram account as well. Keep in mind, we are starting to see the fracturing of the social networking giant.
I know there are people who will argue that facebook is not loosing users, you can read articles on both sides for as long as you like,,, but i can tell that from my anecdotal experiences,,,, most people i know of who were "neato" about facebook in 2011 and 2012, have become either "meh" about it, to outright abandoning. This does not mean that i don't know a few who are still hopelessly addicted to it. There will always be that crowd, but they were the ones hopelessly addicted to chat rooms in the late nineties, and MMS texting a few years ago.
I am sorry if it is sounding like I am raining on your parade,,,, far from it. To get this kind of recognition on a platform who's real activity is constantly "questionably" reported, is amazing. I just wanted to point out that i am not sure where an online entity should go for eyeballs nowadays. With mobile growing, facebook activity down, and people starting to settle into strange and unique habits,,,, we are truly in a time of flux.

A little corn syrup is the secret to keeping the candied nuts in this salad from crystallizing. (And they make a great quick appetizer or gift from your kitchen too.)
Sunset DECEMBER 2010
1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup, 1/4 tsp. each salt and cardamom, the cayenne, and cloves. Stir in nuts. Spread onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Bake, stirring once in a while with a fork, until syrup is deep golden, about 15 minutes. Stir again, then transfer nuts on paper to a work surface. Let nuts cool, breaking them up after 5 minutes.
3. Whisk oil, vinegar, pepper, shallot, and remaining 1/4 tsp. each salt and cardamom in a large bowl. Gently toss with spinach, pears, and nuts. Serve immediately.

Using a colander to separate pasta from the water in which it was cooked is a commonplace kitchen experience. But what about the cooking water that usually disappears down the drain? Suppose you had a colander with holes that could not only separate pasta and water, but just as easily remove the salt and starch added to the water in the cooking process — making the water so pure that it would taste great. >>

Salt: Don't Ban It Entirely
Salt and Your Blood Pressure continued...
Whether a person is salt-sensitive is at the heart of this issue. Everyone's response to sodium is different, Jones explains. Obese people and black people, seem to benefit more from sodium restriction than white people do, studies have shown.
But he says "that most people have some salt sensitivity," says Jones. "Some have more than others." Problem is, there is no easy test for determining salt sensitivity, he explains.
His personal philosophy: "Everyone hopes to become old, and as we get older, we become sensitive to salt. It makes sense to start early enough to affect your health. I think the direct health benefits from restricting sodium -- like the DASH study -- does call for restricting sodium," says Jones.

BILL MOYERS: A reality check. Not one CEO of a Wall Street bank was there to hear the President. What do you make of that?What a thoroughly depressing interview. All this time, while others were expressing their doubts, I have kept my little flame of faith burning, but Obama's inability to handle Wall Street is causing that flame to flicker.
SIMON JOHNSON: Arrogance. Because they have no fear for the government anymore. They have no respect for the President, which I find absolutely extraordinary and shocking. All right? And I think they have no not an ounce of gratitude to the American people, who saved them, their jobs, and the way they run the world.
BILL MOYERS: You did a remarkable thing on the floor of the House recently. And I want to show my audience a clip of a speech in which you urge people to break the law.It sounds like her district is very lucky to have Marcy Kaptur representing them.
MARCY KAPTUR: So why should any American citizen be kicked out of their homes in this cold weather? In Ohio it is going to be 10 or 20 below zero. Don't leave your home. Because you know what? When those companies say they have your mortgage, unless you have a lawyer that can put his or her finger on that mortgage, you don't have that mortgage, and you are going to find they can't find the paper up there on Wall Street. So I say to the American people, you be squatters in your own homes. Don't you leave. In Ohio and Michigan and Indiana and Illinois and all these other places our people are being treated like chattel, and this Congress is stymied.

Low-viscosity oil field trials pushing fuel economy
Low viscosity oil, however, is in many ways only half of PC-11, says Arcy. Simply, a new category was needed because of the need to increase fuel efficiency and decrease CO2 emissions, but also because of updated engine technology, he says.
The last engine oil category was finalized 10 years ago, Arcy said, and engines have changed a lot since then.
With the new category, though, manufacturers also wanted oils that could handle higher engine temperatures and with improved oxidation ability, along with improvements in preventing oil shearing and oil aeration.
Thinner oil can do all of this, Arcy says, along with the two core — and oft spoken about — functions of decreasing fuel consumption.

This is a movie I've always heard about but never actually watched. I knew it was about antisemitism, but assumed Gregory Peck would be playing an actual Jew who experienced discrimination, not a gentile masquerading as a Jew for the sake of a magazine article. Seen from the vantage point of 2014, it seems prepostorous and condescending to suggest that it takes a gentile with a magazine article to expose what has been around for 2,000 years. The whole notion that it takes a WASP male to discover an age-old truth presages the equally preposterous "Black Like Me" a decade later. People cared more about their religions in 1947, and such things as restricted neighborhoods and hotels surely existed, but it's all reduced here to a few rude rejections, some unlikely name-calling and a clumsy love story. It's also startling in 2014 to hear "Christian" spoken of with such fervor, as if it were right up there with "honorable" and "patriotic". Moss Hart and Elia Kazan were among the best of the best, but their work here seems naive. The roots of antisemitism are never fully explored and the practice itself has been reduced to a series quaint, unsurprising hypocricies.

To Naomi, Ruth was the quintessential daughter-in-law, and one of the most unlikely women to change eternity. She may have lost a husband, but gained faith that has transformed her life. Shed experienced the silence of Moabs gods and then found the grace of the God shed come to know through Naomi, the mother of her heart. When Naomis husband dies, the family now has three widowed women. How will they survive? Ruths biological family urges her to return, but she cannot leave her newfound God or Naomi. Ruth chooses to return with Naomi to her husbands childhood home in Bethlehem.
Boaz is not as handsome as Ruths husband, Mahlon, had been, but there is kindness in his eyes, and he is generous. How could the richest man in Bethlehem possibly be interested in a Moabite, the poverty-stricken widow who gleans from his fields? Besides, Rishon is next in line to redeem the family land, and with it would come Mahlons wife.

Thistle Hotel GlasgowPosted 17-Mar-2011 on Hotels.com
Was very impressed with the hotel, did not expect it to be so nice! Leisure facilities excellent, room was really big and comfortable. All staff we spoke to were very pleasent and helpful. Only slight complaint is you can hear doors of other rooms slamming, but that really was not a problem. Particularly liked the fact that you have to swipe your key to get onto the floor your room is on. Really impressed, we will be back!

Location: Merchant City
very satisfied with accommodation provided at the very reasonable rate I obtained although its 80's decor could do with an overhaul. Good breakfast, friendly service. Hotel location OK but - in a city of some fine architecture - rather grim buildings opposite.

Thistle Hotel in GlasgowPosted 31-Jan-2011 on Hotels.com
The hotel was quite comfortable and the staff friendly, but I found the fixtures and fittings (apart from Reception which was fine) to be faded and a bit in need of a good clean or reupholstering. The seat in my room was quite grubby round the edges as were other seating I noticed in the hotel. The grouting in the bathroom looked quite old and brownish. The bar had a limited menu, but it was adequate.

right in the heart of thingsPosted 20-Dec-2010
I actually booked this hotel for my daughter as she was having a night out in Glasgow and wanted to stay overnight. The Thistle Hotel is in an excellent location right in the City Centre and just off Sauchiehall Street with all the shops,restuarants and bars. The hotel is clean, modern and has a lovely leisure centre with a good swimming pool, so remember and take your swimming gear. My daughter was more than happy with the comfort of the hotel.

Found April 30, 2013 on MLB Injury News:
PLAYERS: David Wright
TEAMS: New York Mets
TEAMS: New York Mets
Third baseman David Wright was scratched from the New York Mets' lineup last night due to a neck injury. He doesn't view the stiffness as "that big of a deal," but he told reporters -- including Adam Rubin of ESPN New York -- that he's not sure when he'll be able to return to the lineup. "Like I said, I played through it yesterday, so it's not that big of a deal," Wright said after Monday's game. "I would say it's better now than it was when I woke up this morning, which is a good thing. So I think the treatment that I got on it during the day helped and was beneficial. I'll wake up tomorrow and see how it feels. I'd like to play as soon as possible, so we'll see." When Wright was scratched, the Mets intended to give him the entire night off due to the ailment. However, the extra-inning contest that followed demanded his participation, as Wright was called upon as a pinch hitter in the 13th inning. Wright played through the discomfort on Sunday, but when he was examined by a doctor on Monday he was told that his neck hadn't healed. He's now unsure when he'll be able to return for New York. Over 102 plate appearances, Wright has maintained a batting line of .305/.431/.500 with four doubles, three triples and two home runs this season.

Raaj its all about how you do it. I own up to my own mistakes at the same time as respectfully pointing out what other people in the group can do better. Its very easy for people to take criticism personally but usually if you are fair to everyone including yourself its ok....sometimes there ARE just people who react immaturely and perhaps you are better off in a different group to them.

Cranberry-Pecan Cake Batter
Yield: Makes about 7 cups
More From Southern Living
Recipe Time
Prep Time:
- 1 (6-ounce) package sweetened dried cranberries
- Boiling water
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup finely chopped, toasted pecans
- 2 tablespoons grated orange rind
- Soak dried cranberries in boiling water to cover for 10 minutes. Drain well, and press gently between paper towels. Pulse 4 to 5 times in a food processor or until finely chopped.
- Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
- Stir together flour and baking soda. Add to butter mixture alternately with sour cream, beating at low speed just until blended, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in vanilla; stir in finely chopped cranberries, pecans, and grated orange rind. Use batter immediately, following baking directions for desired cake in "Pick a Pan" below.
- Pick a Pan: Cranberry-Pecan Cake Batter can be baked in lots of different shapes and sizes--just use these times as a guideline, and be sure to grease and flour your pans. With smaller muffin pans and molds, we found it easier to use a vegetable cooking spray with flour. Check for doneness at the minimum time range, continuing to bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Variations with added fruit and nuts will require the maximum time and yield more mini cakes.
- Bake at 325° in 1 (12-cup) tube pan for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Bake at 325° in 3 (8- x 4-inch) loaf pans for 55 to 65 minutes.
- Bake at 325° in 7 to 9 (5- x 3-inch) loaf pans for 25 to 35 minutes.
- Bake at 325° in baby Bundt pans for 25 to 30 minutes. Makes 14 to 16 baby Bundt cakes. (Spoon 1/2 cup batter in each 1-cup mold.)
- Bake at 350° in muffin pans 23 to 28 minutes. Makes 32 to 38 cupcakes.
- Bake at 350° in miniature muffin pans for 9 to 11 minutes. Makes about 9 to 10 dozen cupcakes.

Decode Your Child's Cough
How to recognize seven major illnesses
The Flu
Cough Clues: A mildly hoarse, throaty cough that comes in frequent spells and can be either wet or dry.
Other Symptoms: Your child feels listless and complains that his throat is scratchy and sore, his head hurts, and the muscles in his back and legs ache. He may also have a runny nose, fever, and nausea.
Likely Culprit: The flu, a viral respiratory illness that's most common from November through April.
What to Do: Call the doctor if your child has a fever above 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit, is throwing up, has diarrhea, or is uninterested in eating or drinking (your doctor will recommend steps to prevent dehydration). Give your child plenty of fluids and use a humidifier to alleviate congestion in his airways. Also, to ward off future bouts of the flu, ask your pediatrician about getting your child an annual flu shot; experts recommend the vaccine particularly for babies six to 23 months, as this age range is most susceptible to complications associated with the flu.
Cough Clues: A wheezy, crackly, persistent cough after your child eats. Coughing episodes typically worsen when she's lying down.
Other Symptoms: She may feel a burning sensation or may vomit or belch when swallowing. A baby might be fussy or have been labeled as colicky. Toddlers may develop wheezing and picky eating habits.
Likely Culprit: GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), caused by a weak or immature band of muscle between the esophagus and stomach that allows acid to flow back up. Sometimes the irritating juices can enter the lungs, causing a chronic cough.
What to Do: Have your child see the pediatrician if her wheezy cough lasts longer than two weeks. He may recommend keeping a baby upright for at least 30 minutes after feedings and for babies and older children, elevating the head of their mattress while they sleep. With older children, he may also suggest < ahref="http://www.babyzone.com/baby_toddler_preschooler_health/illness_disease/article/gerd">avoiding foods and beverages that cause symptoms, such as caffeinated sodas, chocolate, peppermint, spicy foods like pizza, acidic foods like orange and tomatoes, and fried and fatty foods, and not eating within two hours of bedtime. Prescription medicine can also control GERD symptoms.
Whooping Cough
Cough Clues: Dry, hacking coughing fits—as many as 25 coughs in a single breath. When your child inhales sharply to catch his breath, he makes a high-pitched whooping sound. Listen to the cough here.
Other Symptoms: Before the cough starts, your child has a week of cold-like symptoms but no fever. In infants, the illness can be severe and cause mucous to bubble from the nostrils. It can also lead to convulsions and make a baby stop breathing if he gets tired.
Likely Culprit: Whooping cough (also known as pertussis), a highly contagious bacterial infection of the throat, windpipe, and lungs. Children who haven't received their immunizations are most vulnerable. (Babies routinely get their shots at two, four, and six months; additional boosters between 12 and 18 months; and then again between four and six years. Immunity wanes as we get older. Therefore, adults may carry pertussis but get only a mild cough.)
What to Do: Call the doctor if your child's cough worsens instead of improves after a week. Babies usually need to be hospitalized to control the cough and have mucous suctioned from their throat. The illness is treated with antibiotics, though the cough can last for many weeks or even months.
Cough Facts Every Parent Should Know
Cough Suppressants: If your child's cough is keeping him up at night, a suppressant may help him sleep. Ask your pediatrician for a recommendation. However, you should know that inhibiting a cough, especially if your child has a mucousy, lower-respiratory cough, can actually exacerbate or prolong the illness, says Dr. Shubin.
Expectorants: They're meant to loosen mucous, but studies show they're not very helpful. "Water is a good expectorant," Dr. Shubin says.
Multisymptom Cold Relievers: Because these formulas contain more than one drug, be sure to read labels carefully. Your child may suffer side effects such as sleeplessness (common with antihistamines) or irritability (typical of decongestants), says Dr. Meredith Messinger, MD, an attending physician at Long Island College Hospital, in Brooklyn, New York.
Throat Lozenges: Cough drops increase saliva production, which can soothe your child's throat and loosen his cough. But don't give them to children under the age of four, Dr. Shubin says. Like any hard candies, lozenges pose a choking hazard.

Saturday, January 31, 2009
Reston, Virginia
Dear Diary,
I just can't believe the news I got today. I was sitting in front of my house, waiting for my boyfriend to show up in his flashy new Mustang III. We were going to his house to have our usual Saturday 'movie day' in front of his dad's huge sixty-inch HDTV.
Okay. I'll be honest. We never really watched a lot of movies over at Joey's house. Since his mom and dad both worked on Saturdays, we spent more time making out since we could do it undisturbed. He is SUCH a sexy guy! I love him SO much!
Mom was up to her usual Saturday morning stuff, like catching a few cooking shows in the kitchen on the TV Food Network, while she tidied up the place, and planning for a shopping trip into town. Since they had me, Mom says her life has been so blessed, even though not as full of action as it used to be. I'm not sure I really understand what she means by that, but then again, I'm just a dumb teenager sometimes.
You see, Mom and Dad were both soldiers. They served in a special unit called G. I. Joe for many years. They both met while serving there, fell in love, and got married.
When I was born, Mom and Dad were both getting on in their careers, and nearing the age where the Army would've strongly considered retiring them from active duty. So the choice to take on a new responsibility at home, raising me, was an easy one for Mom.
Dad, however, couldn't quite get the bug out of his system. Mom used to tell me little bits here and there about what they did, about fighting Cobra. But there were still lots of things she knew she couldn't tell. G. I. Joe must've been a place full of secrets, or so I believe.
But, anyway, back to the story at hand. While I was waiting for Joey to come by, I had a bunch of tracks that I skimmed off the Internet, with some music from five years ago or so. It was stuff my mom and dad sometimes listened to on the car radio, and it stuck in my mind after a while too.
So, I was boppin' to said tunes in my MP3 player, when a black sedan pulled up. Some guy in a business suit, and this wrinkled ol' General in stiffly pressed Army Greens, named Abernathy, showed up. Honestly, the soldier looked like what I would've pictured Dad to be in a hundred years, if he had stayed on with G. I. Joe, instead of teaching agency recruits at Foggy Bottom, just a few miles away in Langley.
The suit and wrinkled General asked me if Mom was around, and when I gave them my favorite teenage nod, smile and shrug, they went on into the house. I know... I know... You'd think that Mom and Dad would've raised me up to salute anything that wore Army Green and stars on his shoulders, but they brought me up to be a kid first, and to enjoy the life we have.
Maybe I should've been nicer to those guys though, because after a few minutes, I heard Mom scream. It was like a painful, anguished scream, and nothing I ever heard come out of her mouth, ever. It cut right through my headphones, and I knew something was badly wrong.
So, I ditched my music for a second and ran inside. Mom was sitting on the couch in our living room, with the black suited guy on one side, and the General had his arms around her, trying to hug and comfort her. I don't think Mom noticed that I was in the room yet, but as soon as she saw me, she dabbed at her face with the collar of her blouse and called me over.
"Stephanie," Mom said in between her obvious sobs. "Your father is dead."
I couldn't believe it, dear diary! I just couldn't! Dad was just with us on Wednesday at dinner! He said he was going on a business trip to visit some of his old students in Europe. And now, he's dead?
Mom was trying to get back to her usual tough-as-nails exterior... and failing miserably. I had never known her to get overly emotional over the usual hum-drum details of life, and she even stayed calm when I used to get into trouble with Tricia Pulaski and Grace Hoppe, my two best friends in the world. (They're also the daughters of two of Mom and Dad's old G. I. Joe Team buddies, who settled down in the same community here in Reston.)
But, I don't blame her for having such a conflict of emotions about that news. Dad was dead. Even as I write this, I'm not sure how I'm going to handle things going forward.
Based on all the stuff Mom and Dad shared about their lives as soldiers, and the bits Dad could tell me about his work with "the Company" (as he liked to call it), I can only picture how he went. The suit and General weren't about to tell us everything; that was for sure.
So, I excused myself for a while, to let the adults do their thing. I knew Mom needed to cry, and I think she would be able to let it out without me around. That way, when the time comes that I need to cry, she'll be there for me. She can be my rock when I need her.
I went up to my room, and plugged my MP3 player into the stereo, to pick up where my playlist left off. And the very next song really got me thinking about Dad. So I curled up on my bed with my favorite picture of him. You know the one, taken at the old G. I. Joe headquarters before his blond hair went gray, and when he looked like a real hottie. I always knew why Mom liked him so much.
Anyway, after hugging my fave picture of Dad, I closed my eyes, and listened.
There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There are secrets in this life
That I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away...
Maybe I'm just blind...
Somehow a picture of a dark street corner in some Eastern European city popped into my head. You know, a scene from one of those James Bond spy movies, or the Robert Redford flick "Spy Game". Traditional old buildings, narrow streets, dark alleys, the whole nine yards.
Dad would be leaning against the inside of a shadowy doorway, with a local newspaper tucked under one armpit, and a drab gray trench coat to cover the trusty old Colt .45 he loved to show me. (Dad even taught me how to shoot with his favorite pistol, dear diary. I'm getting pretty good at it.)
Whoever he was out there to find was nearby, trying to be inconspicuous in a sea of passing faces. But he knew my Dad, and Dad knew him. So they would meet in the shadows to discuss some state secret, or whatever Dad was sent out to obtain.
But at the same time, I see my dad's face right across from mine at the breakfast table. He's sipping a cup of coffee that Mom made for him, and reading the Washington Post. I'm telling him about my upcoming Cross Country meet, and hearing him apologize about being unable to make it to see me race because of the business trip.
Even though I could see the guilt in Dad's eyes, I still raised my voice to him. I screamed out that I hated how Dad's job was more important than me. He just sat there and took it, never once shouting back at me. He let me vent, and even silently told Mom to back off and not to scold me.
Of course, when Mom drove me to school later in the morning, she still explained to me that Dad's work was very important, and sometimes much bigger than just our individual lives. She said that I would eventually get it, and that it was okay to feel what I felt when I was frustrated.
When I stormed out of the kitchen and back up to my room to gather my things for school, Dad knocked on my door after a few minutes and reminded me he was leaving for work. No matter how upset I was with him, he never forgot to come and find me, to give me a hug and kiss, and to wish me good luck in school that day. He must've understood what it was like to be growing up, and a lot of my static didn't faze him one bit.
Dad never tried to buy my affections either. Some of my other school friends have parents that are so into their careers that they practically ignore their kids, and then they shower them with gifts like cars, and concert tickets with friends, or elaborate birthday parties, because the old folks feel guilty about the level of their ignorance.
Dad knew that I appreciated the understanding that he truly felt bad about missing something important to me, more than any superficial gift could appease. And he always went out of his way to make time to make it up to me in a way I wanted him to.
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone...
I guess that the meeting on that distant city's street corner went wrong. In my mind's eye, I see a black sedan filled with gunmen squealing to a halt in front of Dad's little doorway, and a bundle of nasty, armed men piling out of it, screaming, "COBRA!"
But the sight of some nasty baddies didn't scare Dad. He had his trusty Colt .45, tucked into the small of his back, or in the black leather shoulder holster rig that Mom and I bought him for Father's Day one year, when he asked for one.
He would've played it cool at first, telling the bad guys that there wasn't anything going on, all the while ready to come out shooting. I know Dad was a crack shot. The thirteen rounds in his Colt would've been put to good use. He'd make each and every one count.
I don't know if fate plays a part in someone's life as a soldier. Mom and Dad told me they were always wary of the notion that one day, out in the field, the "golden bullet with your name on it" would come, and there was no way to avoid it.
Maybe tonight was Dad's brush with the Golden Bullet. Maybe he used up all the rounds he had in his Colt and the baddies kept on coming. Maybe he had to punch a few of them out, or give their necks a twist. Or maybe he pounded a few of their faces into the pavement before they overpowered him.
Maybe it was a hand grenade, tossed into the doorway by a cowardly Cobra agent from a distance. Or it was a Molotov Cocktail from some mercenary street thug. Maybe the driver of the gunmen's car decided to turn it into the engine of my Dad's demise.
But, you know what? Until someone tells me the truth about how Dad went, I will always believe in my heart that Dad went down fighting. The odds might have been against him, but he still pressed on, because he knew that he was protecting people like me, from people like them.
When your education x-ray
Can not see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone
He would've preferred to be home, with Mom and me. But he went anyway. He went to die for his country. I firmly believe that to be the last thought in his head when he left us. Even though Mom and I weren't at his side, he knew that he could go, secure in the knowledge that he fulfilled his duty to his family, and to his country.
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone...
Dear diary, it's going to be a long road for us to heal, for Mom and me. Maybe, seeing old friends will help Mom get past the hurt this is going to bring. I know that I will need her strength when I feel Dad's loss and no longer have his arms to hold me tight.
I wouldn't be surprised if Uncle Ralph and Aunt Lisa are already in the living room, lending Mom some support. She still calls Uncle Ralph by his old Joe code name, "Steeler", by accident, and they get a laugh out of it. Uncle Kurt ("Crypto", when Mom slips) and Aunt Claudia are probably downstairs too. That means Tricia and Grace will be up here in my room soon enough, and I'll have my friends here to talk to about Dad.
Maybe Mom will call Uncle Dash ("Flint") and Aunt Alison ("Lady Jaye") in California, to let them know what happened. I'd love to see them again. Even though it takes a crappy event like someone dying to bring good friends together again.
Dad, I'll miss you every day for the rest of my life. I'll remember you and never stop loving you. For all the bad and the good that we've shared, you are still the only dad for me.
And, I know that wherever you are now, you've left a better world behind, because you stepped up to the plate and gave everything you had to defend it. You're my hero, Dad. I love you.
All my love,
Stephanie O'Hara-Hauser

Nice to meet you! We're Artisan Socks. Aka the "Artisan Crew".
1. About Artisan Socks and its owners and people running it and their location and stuff, click here.
2. Job seekers click here for job opening details!
Artisan Socks is a mainly online artisan and amazing socks and leg wear shop with our customer service office and clean carpeted warehouse in a lovely beach community called Redondo Beach in southern California.
Southern California?? Yes, I know you may now be asking yourself "Wait. Don't So. Cal-ers generally wear flip-flops, wide grins, and not much else? What an odd place to do the sock thing!". And isn't their Governor that actor guy that got pregnant in that one movie with Danny DeVito in it or something?.
Well yes, for the most part, that is a fairly accurate description of Southern California.
But do let me assure you there are people like shop owner, Sock Diva L, (a.k.a. Leah Workman) who are transplants from other coasts and who tend to wear socks of all lengths and not just because they're too lazy to shave their often-to-always bared hairy yeti legs and need something fashionable and fun with which to cover those hairy pups up. (TMI??)
Shop owner and head Sock Diva L (her stage name or Internet name or sock name if you would..) isn't actually really much of a diva at all, she just really likes socks which are the gateway drug to her real addiction; Shoes. OMG SHOES.
You can get a better feel for her here on the Artisan Socks Blog where she shamelessly promotes her socks and
bores charms you with details of her fabulous sock life resplendent with bling.
The other up-and-coming Sock Divas who are actually far too nice to be real divas but who can wing it for publicity's sake will also occasionally be found blogging and showing off their socks and stuff as it is an Artisan Sock requirement that all socks bought by staff and family members must be photographed and blogged about.
As you might have guessed because of this unilateral and unreasonable sock blogging demand imposed on said divas-in-waiting and family there has been mild sock unrest in the Artisan Sock Divadom.
To which Sock Diva L replied "Cest la Sock vie. Let them eat towel cakes" OMG! Towel Cakes! Too cute!.
While there are many people who help with Artisan Socks, shop manager, genius photographer and logo designer as well as snazzy stocking tester Sock Diva D. (a.k.a. D Wilson) deserves a huge mention and shout-out here. Her professionalism and sense and sensibility help keep the daily flow flowing and she never monkeys around.
Unless her boss makes her, but as you can see her boss is a bit of an ass hat.
(Get it? Because of the Donkey on her head and...*Sigh*)
We're going to do our best to search out quality, and to sell you things that we would and do wear ourselves.
We try to buy made in the USA when possible, we also try to buy socks and items made responsibly out of responsible fabrics. One of our goals is to support good businesses and people and designers and to not just sell socks to become obscenely rich as most sellers of socks are known to become.
We also promise that if we do become obscenely and fabulously rich selling these wonderful socks that we won't let it go to our heads and commission statues made out of diamonds of us in our socks to go next to our gold-plated sinks in our olympic pool sized Diva bathrooms, and will instead try to support causes we believe in.
If you're local and want to take a look before you buy please call 1.888.34.SOCKS 10 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST Monday through Friday and we'll make sure you can take a peek at our lineup before you buy. You can also drop by for a pick-up after you place the order online if you want to have a picnic by the ocean and need an excuse.
This socks shop has been one of the most fun and enjoyable projects I've worked on so far, but it still was a fairly Herculean task to even get it to the point where it is right now, which is far from finished.
I'd be remiss if I didn't say a huge "Thank You" to my family members who really helped with advice and socks stuff; Mom, Jackie, Karen, and Jen, thanks for your help and time and I hope you like socks as gifts because, well, chances are that's what you're getting from me for a while :).
I'd also like to give a big shout out to my girlfriends who got all manic about socks with me and gave me feedback and advice about sock choosings and such, as well as who helped with writing and taking photos and stuff as well as those who gave warm mental support as well and who understood why the idea of wearing bacon and egg socks to a power lunch under slacks is hysterical, which really means a lot to me even if I get so wrapped up at times I forget to say "Thank You" sometimes. So here's a big "Thank You" from me to you Mel, Danielle, Rebecca, and everybody else too.
Last but certainly not least is a person who deserves many and much thanks on a regular basis and isn't afraid to remind us of that ;-P, my partner in non-crime, and all things business and beyond, Hibino, for spending countless nights working on adding the functions and bells and whistles I (and the other sock Divas) asked for and for taking care of the things on our development wishlists. You rock, and the site is so much better because of the extra work you put into the details.
Wish Us Luck and Stay socksy People,
Sock Diva L.

At the age of 85, Al Howard is quite possibly the oldest living and active one-man band on the planet. Weather and health permitting, just about everyday Al sets up his small eclectic trailer made to resemble an old covered wagon in front of Jimmy's Catfish on Main St. in Grand Prairie and entertains passersby with his one-man show of country, gospel and blue grass music.
While driving down Main St. one day in December of 2009 I spotted Al and decided to shoot and interview him with the Handycam I had with me at the time.
This was shot on a old Sony HDR-SR1 Handycam

Study Abroad in Ghana Opens Doors
With two Northeastern Professors and a class of twenty students, Unice Karmue (Torch Class 3) spent eight weeks studying and living on campus at Cape Coast University in Ghana through NU's Dialogues of Civilization Program.
Unice, originally from Liberia, credits his experience in Ghana with helping him to reconnect with his ancestry and to focus on his future. "Through the Dialogue to Ghana, I learned that I want to pursue a career in medicine and work within the African healthcare system." Unice plans to build on his experience in Ghana by continuing outreach to underserved communities in the Dominican Republic over spring break and South Africa next summer. "Northeastern and Torch have given me a great chance to go to school and become a part of DRYVE and a group called FACE Africa. If I wouldn't have come to Northeastern as a Torch Scholar, I wouldn't have had those chances. The Dialogue opened the door for me by giving me a chance to go to Ghana and to work twice as hard. Once you read about a problem, you know what's going on, but when you are seeing and dealing with the problem firsthand, you are motivated to do big things and move forward and to help other people."

Apparently, McD's doesn't have more preservatives than the other guys, it's just so full of fat and salt that there's no room for moisture to get in to allow it to decompose. Somehow, that really doesn't make me feel any better.
This strikes me as the sort of thing that I could get upset about in principle but not in practice. TIPB's finding that friend requests from 501 on just never arrive; you get a new friend request immediately after deleting someone else from your friends list.
On the one hand, this seems arbitrary, but Xbox Live's had an even more arbitrary limit (100) for years and that's never been addressed. It could be there's a good, technical reason for a 500 friend limit, like the amount of time to check all the challenges or scores when you launch a game takes too long. Or it could be that Apple just decided that 500 is enough.
And, really, for most people, it is. You may have more than 500 Facebook friends, but how many of them have newer model iPhones, and of those, how many are you realistically ever going to play Ms. Pac Man with? This smells to me like another issue which is going to get a lot of play in the tech press because they typically represent the extreme edge case for these types of things (I can only imagine how many friend requests the editors of TIPB have gotten between this and Ping) but which most normal users will never run up against.
This is, however, one more instance of disappointing design from Apple in this Game Center concept. Xbox Live didn't become what it is overnight either, but for something that Apple spent a lot of time on, there are a number of design decisions that seem questionable at best that they really need to get ironed out quickly, because at the moment it's not even more attractive than OpenFeint or Plus+, let alone Xbox Live.
Apparently people aren't so interested in 3D once they have to actually put on glasses and try to watch something. This is something I've been thinking for a long time; the current 3D tech is better than we've had in the past, but there's not enough content and there are too many hoops to jump through for the average person to be motivated enough to enjoy it.
The hardcore gamer stats (71% interested after trying it) makes sense to me, though. The only time I've legitimately been interested in 3D was trying a demo of a first person shooter at PAX East. Something like that, where you have one person putting all of their focus on the screen, seems like the real use case to me. I can't see trying to get my daughters to sit still for two hours with uncomfortable, adult sized glasses precariously balanced on their faces just to watch Toy Story 3 in 3D. If the over/under on that lasting was half an hour, I'd take the under.
Hello World (And Thanks In Advance For All the Fish)
I decided that I need somewhere a little more robust than comments in Google Reader/Buzz sharing or 140 characters in a tweet to share what I'm thinking, but every blog I've tried to start has gone dark within a month. So I'm hoping the way this is set up will help me keep up and keep things relevant without feeling the pressure of a full blog. So, to my current friends, welcome! And to my new friends, nice to meet you!

Unfortunately it brings nothing new to this genre of "instant and unexpected death" style of games. The biggest challenges for me were the long jumps where timing had to be spot on. But it was passable so I enjoyed it.

Icona Pop play House of Blues tonight.
Sometimes I prefer nights that just have one great show, because it takes all the guesswork out of planning a night. There's no weighing the pros and cons of your options. Unfortunately, this is not one of those nights. However, too many great shows is a good problem to have. Down at the House of Blues, Icona Pop perform after an earlier show this year at Cricket Wireless. Everyone has heard their radio hit "I Love It," even with a Kids Bop version of the song renamed "I Love It" and dozens of remixes. Soda Bar hosts Bleached, who are a fuzzed out indie rock fave, and there are some great local openers that make this a solid night. My vote, however, is Kitten at the Casbah. The female fronted band blew me away earlier this year with the most energy I've seen onstage in ages, and singer Chloe Chaidez is also a graduate of the School of Rock, which is quite an endorsement for the organization.

Found January 21, 2013 on Kukla's Korner:
PLAYERS: Carlo Colaiacovo, Brian Lashoff, Jonathan Ericsson, Jakub Kindl
TEAMS: Columbus Blue Jackets, Detroit Red Wings
TEAMS: Columbus Blue Jackets, Detroit Red Wings
I'll write up something momentarily, but...Do we call this progress? The Detroit Red Wings edged the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-3 in a shootout, but the Wings also went 0-for-7 on special teams, gave up 2 power play goals, surrendered a 2-1 lead... And when Carlo Colaiacovo's shoulder hit the glass on a heavy, heavy check, he dropped his left glove and headed for the locker room looking like he'd separated his shoulder, leaving Wings fans hoping that Brian Lashoff's first goal wasn't an anomaly, and that Jonathan Ericsson gets healthy in a hurry. Was this progress? What do you think? Here's Lashoff's first NHL goal...He's the 126th Griffin to score an NHL goal. Update: According to Fox Sports Detroit's John Keating, the Wings will reassess the statuses of both Jonathan Ericsson (shoulder) and Jakub Kindl (groin) in the morning. No word about Colaiacovo yet.

Slot Machine Secrets
The truth is there are no slot machine secrets.
People have been trying to break into or cheat slot machines since their invention as a gambling tool in the early 20th century (they were previously used to dispense candies and gum).
Since modern slot machines are based on random number generation and computer programming, there simply are no secrets or tricks to beating slot machines. Devices are sold online, books are sold in many forms, even videos and online classes are taught in "how to beat slots" -- but you just can't.
Slot Machine Myths & Secrets
Here are some common myths about slots and a bit of explanation about why these "slot machine secrets" simply aren't true.
The best way to "beat" a slot? Read up on your slot machine myths, avoid the advice of these snake oil salesman "slot beaters", and watch your payout schedule.
Here are my favorite 8 "slot secrets" -- myths that can be easily debunked.
Hopefully, your next slot trip will be for fun, and not in any attempt to beat the slots. There are no "slot machine secrets" -- bring lots of money, earn a few free drinks, and read your payout schedules.
