Hi hi hi Little Blog!
This post comes to you from downtown Montreal, where I just stopped in to check my emails, n' what not, and I noticed I reached a big mile stone with my followers.
I know we all read messages like this a lot, but I cannot say enough, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I'm so humbled and flattered people read my words, and follow my attempt at becoming the best person I can be (aka not tubby and not un-awesome).
In 13 days I'll run the full marathon, something I sincerely thought I'd never do, and in my moment(s) of utter exhaustion (aka after 32k) I'll think of each of you and smile.
I cannot express my thanks enough.
Much Love, and thank you, from the bottom of my big-old-slowly-getting-fit heart
I hate the concept of "living for the weekends," but lately I feel that's all I've been doing, which means I am today's official sponsor of the 'TGIF' motto.
Because really, I feel like this week nearly drowned me with work, running, studying, organizing my life (laundry/cleaning), all while trying to still have a life. (side note: I had a glass of (delicious) red wine last night, which I can honestly say I felt tipsy from (my university-self-would-be-so-disappointed).
Sometimes I'm shocked at my weekend schedules, as the majority of weekeends in my life? zero plans… that is, until I started running.
The question of "when am I going to pack for Montreal?" has yet to be answered, as is OMIGOD WHERE IS MY PASSPORT? I had that realization last night, and freaked out as I searched EVERYWHERE for it. I have two that are missing (my EU and Canadian), so surely one must be somewhere in my room. Eeeek.
Can you imagine… not being able to run the Chicago marathon because I'm an idiot and didn't think about my passport? I'd be like one of those stupid girls on ANTM, who know they're going on the show, and yet don't bring their passports. FOOLS (<— that's me included).
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy FRIDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tonight? Why tonight I'm going to leave work at precisely 5:00pm. Head to dinner with a friend (where a salad will be ordered), and then head straight to the couch. Once at the couch I will lie horizontally for an embarrising amount of time, while I knock off The Biggest Loser, Gossip Girl, ANTM, Mad Men, Glee, Modern Family, Being Erica, and 90210 off my TiVo.
Tonight can't come soon enough. I am exhausted from life, and my 10k (from hell) yesterday.
Ps God Bless TiVo.
That is all for this Wednesday afternoon.
True story.
Holy hell I am hungry today. I want to eat everything in sight…. EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.
Dear Diary,
Between you, me, and the sunrise, I think I've figured out what's wrong. I think I've figured out why I'm not losing weight.
Weight loss is simple; calories in, must be less than calories out. Which means I've been maintaining/gaining weight because my calories in? greater than my calories out (which is quite the feat with all the running I've been doing).
I'm not stupid, I know what food is good to eat, and what food is bad. For the last
few days, weeks, months year I've been stumbling through life eating well the majority of the time, but not losing a pound.
But today, dear diary, I figured out why!
Frankly, I think I've been in denial for the past year.
But I'm not anymore.
It's actually very simple; (drum roll please…) I binge eat. There, I said it. Again? Yes, 'again' because I've dealt with this before, except last time I'd binge and then purge, but now I know better than to do that (poor teeth and tummy). This time? this time I'm simply binging.
But here's the kicker, I binge eat on healthy food; I think that's why I've been fooling myself for so long. Oh no, it's not chocolate bars and chips I guzzle down in the middle of the night, it's plain yogurt tubs with honey, oatmeal packets, apples and grapes…
But like I said, it's simple: calories in, must be less than calories out. I can eat healthy until I'm blue in the face, but until I figure out why the eff I feel the need to stuff my face when I'm not even hungry, I won't be able to lose weight.
So what now? I have no idea,
All I can hope is realizing and acknowledging it, is the 1st step in the right direct.
I, E, binge eat.
Love E
Hello buttercups,
And how are you? Excellent, I hope, as per the usual. This past long (because-I-had-Monday-off) weekend proved all types of awesome, and now I am back at work, sitting in my usual corner, counting down the hours until this Friday at 5pm.
These are some points from September 10th to 13th simply to ensure I don't forget, because seriously y'all my memory is like a gold fish's. What's that? You really don't care about my daily life? meh! I tell you meh! And here. I. go.
My weight? Oh… right… that's all you folks care about. **OMIGOD! What's that super, shiny thing over there… excuse me, I simply have to go see it!**
I'm going go ahead and assume each of you just gave me a virtual high-five.
Happy Sunday! Eeek, I'm so happy!
Love E
I've never thought of myself as a weak person; medical wise that is.
When SARS swept through Canada I managed to dodge that bullet. When Swine Flu seeped through the city, I skillfully avoided that nightmare. I rarely get the sniffles, and although I sometimes lose my voice, and occasionally faint, I rarely have something wrong with me.
Until I started running that is.
I have encountered every running ache known to man. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but I've had:
I have been stopped in my track, during these critical training days, by shin-splints.
Yesterday I opted out of speed training and hit the elliptical at the gym for ½ an hour, and ran lightly (we're talking 8min/km or 12:50min/mile) on the treadmill for ½ an hour.
I still felt it.
I'm been icing my leg on and off for about 2 hours a day. I got new shoes (the same as my old ones, as they have got the best support for over pronation) and in a final scramble for help, I booked myself an appointment with my sports doctor for next Thursday (the soonest I could get).
There may or may not have been lots of tears in the last few days, as the pain is sometimes so bad I have to squeeze my eyes tight to get my mind off it.
And then the thought of not being able to finish the marathon on October 10th? Well don't even get me started on that, as just the mere thought makes me feel sick.
I've spent a kabillion hours googling shin splints, and it looks like "rest" is the only, real option. But obs, time isn't on my side…
I know I only have one right leg, and there will be many marathons, but… well, let's not even go there. The Marathon will happen…
Off lie on the couch and pout,
Love E
Weight gain, weight loss, weight maintenance, 2010 is shaping up to be an awesome year.

The Bucs main kick return/punt return man is Clifton Smith, the 5'9″ 190 lb. running back from Fresno State. Smith has good speed and can change field direction fairly well. He has 46 punt returns in his career for 556 yards and 1 touchdown. He also has 67 kick returns in his career for 1894 yards and 1 touchdown (Bucs don't get too many kick returns for touchdowns). Smith can handle both duties, his speed and field vision allow him to create for the Bucs and helps change the battle of field position, something the offense is happy about.
Second on the depth chart is wide receiver Sammie Stroughter. Stroughter is also penciled in at the Bucs slot receiver position, but has good filed vision on returns that has aloowed him to be teamed up with Clifton Smith on kick returns and will see time on punts as well. Stroughter has 11 kickoff returns, totaling 324 yards and 1 touchdown over his short career. He also has 12 punt returns for 119 yards. He was a dangerous return man while at Oregon State and his skills are following him to the NFL level as well.
Last on the depth chart is Micheal Spurlock. Spurlock made Bucs history when he returned the first kickoff for a touchdown in franchise history. He has been in and out of the lineup at returner, but finds himself behind Smith and Stroughter. He is very talented at returning and should find some time on the field this season and provide a spark for the team.
Overall grade: B-. The returns all have skill, speed, and good field vision, but are not that elite yet. There is not much difference between the 3 when it comes to size on the field, but all of them are solid returners for the Bucs. The Bucs should see some good production from the return game this season.

BP Still Being Awarded Lucrative Government Contracts
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
BP continues to receive tens of millions of dollars in government contracts, despite the fact that the British oil company is under federal criminal investigation over the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and twice violated its probation late last year.
Last week, the Defense Logistics Agency awarded Air BP, a division of BP Products North America, a $42 million contract to supply fuel to Dover Air Force Base for the next month and a half. BP is the biggest supplier of fuel to the Defense Department.
What makes this particular contract unique is that it is one identified as "an unusual and compelling urgency" contract, which means the government would be " seriously injured"and national security could be at risk unless the Defense Logistics Agency was permitted to "limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals."
The Defense Logistics Agency sent out a request for proposals on March 25 and set a deadline of April 1 for offers to be returned. Included in the government's proposal is a purchase request for 20 million gallons of jet fuel at an average price of $2.10 a gallon.
According to government contracting regulations, "an unusual and compelling urgency precludes full and open competition" and "delay in award of a contract would result in serious injury, financial or other, to the Government."
Scott Amey, general counsel for watchdog group Project On Government Oversight (POGO), said, "unusual and compelling urgency" is often used by the government when it awards a no-bid, sole source contract.
"It's just another way of getting around competitive bidding," Amey said in an interview. "The military needs to justify why there was little or no competition."
Michelle McCaskill, a spokeswoman for the Defense Logistics Agency, told Truthout a copy of the justification for "the unusual and compelling urgency" would be posted online within 30 days after the contract award.
She added that the contract awarded to Air BP "was needed to meet requirements at Dover [Air Force Base] during the period of April 15, 2011 - May 31, 2011."
McCaskill could not obtain a timely response to questions about whether the Defense Logistics Agency received bids from other companies.
[UPDATE: On Thursday morning, McCaskill sent an email to Truthout stating the Defense Logistics Agency did receive bids for the "unusual and compelling" contract from other oil companies. Moreover, McCaskill said the fuel contract awarded to Air BP "is the third supplemental solicitation tied to the terms and conditions of the basic solicitation." In other words, the contract awarded to Air BP last week is part of a larger fuel contract the Defense Logistics Agency awarded to several oil companies last year. The contract given to Air BP supplemented the original contract by allowing the Defense Logistics Agency to purchase additional fuel. The agency supplemented the original contract twice before, most recently in February when it issued a requests for proposals to three oil companies, which included Air BP and Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company, seeking 14 million gallons of fuel to "provide support for ongoing operations on" Dover Air Force Base for about a month. That contract, also identified as "unusal and compelling," was awarded to ExxonMobil for $30.8 million, a bid that was more than $100,000 less than Air BP's. It is unknown what mission the contract awarded to ExxonMobil in February supported as that information is redacted in documents released to justify the "unusual and compelling" contract.]
BP won the most recent contract even though the company's federal probation officer petitioned a US district court judge last November to revoke the company's probation over a 46,000 gallon oil spill that occurred at BP's Lisburne facility on Alaska's North Slope in November 2009.

At Swim, Two Boysby Jamie Oneill
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Set during the year preceding the Easter Uprising of 1916 — Ireland's brave but fractured revolt against British rule — At Swim, Two Boys is a tender, tragic love story and a brilliant depiction of people caught in the tide of history. Powerful and artful, and ten years in the writing, it is a masterwork from Jamie O'Neill.
Jim Mack is a naïve young scholar and the son of a foolish, aspiring shopkeeper. Doyler Doyle is the rough-diamond son — revolutionary and blasphemous — of Mr. Mack's old army pal. Out at the Forty Foot, that great jut of rock where gentlemen bathe in the nude, the two boys make a pact: Doyler will teach Jim to swim, and in a year, on Easter of 1916, they will swim to the distant beacon of Muglins Rock and claim that island for themselves. All the while Mr. Mack, who has grand plans for a corner shop empire, remains unaware of the depth of the boys' burgeoning friendship and of the changing landscape of a nation.
"The secret is out, James Joyce and Oscar Wilde had a child: his name is Jamie O'Neill, and his novel is a big, character-filled Edwardian triple-decker." Felice Picano, author of Like People in History
"The hunger for liberation...gnaws at the big heart of this young Irish writer's engrossing, often very moving debut....Excess and overstatement do crop up, but O'Neill's warm empathy with his characters, stinging dialogue, and authentic tragic vision more than compensate: altogether, his first is the best literary news out of Ireland since the maturity of Roddy Doyle." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

Raised in County Dublin, Jamie O'Neill now lives in Galway, Ireland.

text: Greetings, one and all. I still have parking passes available for Medieval Faire. If you're interested in coming up this weekend, let me know. Since it is close to the event, I won't be able to send via snail-mail (I believe the qualifier is too accurate)--these will require a more personal touch. We'll work out how to get the pass directly into your hands. If you're coming, drop me a line with your name (SCA and/or mundane), car information (color, year, make, model), and SCA group.

s Strategic Recommendations In order to bring human factors methods to bear productively on the problems of an aging population, two thugs will be required. The first ~ to get ex~st~g and future human factors knowledge into effective use. One vehicle for accomplishing this would be the cry ation of a handbook on human factors and aging. There are human factors handbooks a~railable for the design of equipment, specifically for military ~d certain other kinds of equipment. But by and large the existing handbooks are directed at the young and occupationally specialized segments of the population. Their norms and the kinds of tasks for which the data and principles have been selected are not well chosen for efforts concerned with the problems of the elderly. A handbook containing relevant background data and what is cur- rently known about analysis and solution techniques specifically with regard to older people would be valuable. Such a handbook should provide ~ reference for architects, system developers, and designers as well as for hump factors researchers and practitioners. Prior to the compilation of such a handbook, it would be useful to have a thorough literature review on human factors =d aging. While such a review might discourage publication of a handbook due to scarcity of data, it is as likely to encourage it as a means of codifying avail- able data and pointing the way for future research. In addition to a textual compendium of such knowledge (which might also be made available on computer disks), mechanism for instructional disserni- nation might be useful. For example, we think it would be useful to 68

STRATEGIC RE;COA~JDATIONS 69 offer short courses on hum" factors for the aging to product design- ers and architects and to gerontologists ar ~ specialists in geriatric and rehabilitative medicine and social services. With regard to encouraging more research of the kinds we urge, various mechanisms suggest them,3eives. Principally, what is called for is Braising the consciousness of human factors specialists con- cerning the problem of aging. The best way to do that is to over fuming for related research. However, there "e some other useful mechanisms available as wed. Summer schoob =d short workshops for graduate students and faculty with backgrounds ~ human factors or disciplines related to human factors would be one such mechanism. The creation of internships arid graduate fellowships for support of thesm research specifically ~ human factors for the aged would be another. In addition, the sponsorship of focused conferences ~d workshops (e.g., on vision testing ard driving or stairway design) would be useful. What ~ needed most is a commitment on the part of policymakers, funding organizations, and scientists to devote resources to the study of problems relearnt to older adults. -

The Best Dishes of 2012
Damn, I ate well this last year. And apparently so often, I've had to scroll through of a year's worth of photographs to unearth some gems deserving the spot-light. The photos reminded me that the best of what I cooked at home was created with fresh-picked vegetables from Sport Hill Farm in Easton, three miles down the road from my house. Likewise, of the many restaurants I checked out last year, the most memorable dishes were created by chefs who use seasonal and local ingredients. I'm very grateful to the farmers, chefs, cooks and restaurateurs.

Job and work are used in different ways. Here are the important differences that English learners need to know:
Work and job as nouns and verbs
Work is both a verb and a noun (uncountable); job is mostly used as a noun (countable):
- I'm busy – I have a lot of work. (uncountable noun)
I have a lot of works.
- I have two jobs – I'm a taxi driver, but I also work as a part-time fireman. (countable noun)
- I'm a teacher at a nursery. It's a great job – I love it. (countable noun)
We say go to work, start work, finish work:
- I start work at 8 o'clock every morning.
I start my job at 8 o'clock every morning.
- I go to work by bus.
I travel to my job by bus.
To describe what you do to earn money
Job is much more specific than work: your job is the name of the work that you do to earn money. It refers to your particular employment position, such as a teacher, accountant, builder, manager, etc.:
- I like my job; I'm a teacher.
My job is a teacher.
- My brother has found a good job as a sales manager at Vodafone.
- I'm looking for a new job. = I'm looking for a new position.
I'm looking for new work.
- What's your job, Peter? = What do you do for a living?
We use work to say talk about the location or who our employer is, NOT to give a specific description or title:
- John works for Microsoft.
- Elizabeth works for a law firm.
My job is for a law firm.
- Tony works in London.
My job is in London.
In these last examples, we do NOT know what the people's responsibilities are; we only know where they work or who they work for. We DON'T know exactly what John's job is, we DON'T know exactly what Elizabeth's job is. And we only know that Tony works in London – we don't know what he does there: we would have to ask him what his job is.
Other meanings
As a verb, work can have other meanings, e.g. how a machine works, meaning how it functions or if it is functioning properly:
- The photocopier isn't working- it's broken.
- Do you understand how a car works?
As a noun, a job can also mean a task, such as repairing something at home:
- I have a few jobs to do this weekend – I have to paint the fence and fix the garage door.
OK, now it's your turn to work – try the exercise below. Fill each gap with the correct form of either work or job (use one word per gap):

New Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Trailer Released
Fans of the Harry Potter franchise will be happy to hear that the new trailer for part one of the Deathly Hallows has been released. Like anyone else who has stuck with series over the years, getting a glimpse of the first half of the last chapter of the world of Harry Potter is immensely exciting. Especially since the movie actually looks entertaining and well crafted, unlike some other franchises geared towards teens and young adults (we're looking at you, Twilight). Still, as thrilling as getting a peak at Deathly Hallows is, we can't help but feel a sense of mourning that comes with it. The movies do, after all, mark the end of what's been a staple in our lives for the past 13 years. The impending death of the series feels a lot like the death of Hermione Granger when Voldemort kills her with the Avada Kedavra curse at the end of the book. Just kidding. Or am I? Oh, who am I kidding; everybody's already read all the books. I'm not fooling anyone. Anyway, here's a look at the new trailer:

V-Ball picks up easy win
- By Courtney Tyree
- Published: October 9th, 2012
The Liberty Flames volleyball team dominated the Campbell Camels Friday night,Oct. 5, in three quick sets (25-13, 25-18, 25-19).
Alumni, students and parents spent their Friday night at the Vines Center cheering on the Lady Flames. The win now puts them at winning nine straight home matches overall and 16 conference home contests in a row.
"We just wanted to come in and win, obviously because it was a conference match. We came up with the mind set to execute and do our best," senior Loren Thomas said.
Liberty started off strong in the first set with an easy victory over Campbell (25-13). Freshman Caroline Douglas, junior Lillie Happel and Thomas all recorded three kills on the set.
The second set had fans on the edge of their seats with 10 ties and six lead changes throughout.
"We let a lot of our errors dictate the game, so halfway through that game, we realized we needed to execute our part," Douglas said.
The Lady Flames did execute their part and were able to cap off the win over the Camels. Douglas recorded a set high seven kills, while Thomas added four more to the teams 17 total.
Campbell was out matched, losing by 11 points at a moment during the final set. Thomas ended the match with a kill, and the Lady Flames were able to clinch another conference win. The Flames now advance to 3-1 in the Big South Conference with Campbell following 0-4.
Liberty surpassed Campbell in attacks with an average of .312 to .106. Douglas totaled 16 kills on the match while Thomas added nine and Happel seven. Junior Jade Craycraft totaled 30 assists, 11 digs and five kills.
"It obviously all rides on my team," Douglas said. "If they are not behind me, I can't do what I do, so it's just great to have that support system."
Douglas was named Big South Freshman of the Week for the second time this season.
"The future looks pretty good in her position because she has only been playing it 19 times in her life, so she is still learning and trying to figure things out, but her learning curve is pretty quick. She makes me look like a good coach," Pinder said concerning Douglas.
The Lady Flames will travel to Charleston, S.C. on Oct. 12 as they try to keep their conference-winning streak alive against Charleston Southern at 7 p.m..

The best methods for polishing brass
By Heloise
Special Offers
QuestionHow do you polish brass?
Marie Beaird, Porter, TX ,
AnswerThat depends on whether it's lacquered or not. To clean lacquered brass, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth; do not use any kind of household cleaner. If it's nonlacquered, squirt a dollop of ketchup on a rag, and rub over surface. Wipe off residue with a damp cloth and buff dry. For a homemade cleaner, dissolve 1 teaspoon salt in 1/2 cup vinegar and add enough flour to make a paste. Rub onto the brass and leave for 10 minutes; rinse and buff dry.
