Natural Healing
Essential Oils - Gift of The Earth

Fibromyalgia is a syndrome that includes long-term, body wide pain in the muscles and connective tissues. This characteristic pain may be accompanied by fatigue, headaches, and difficulty with sleep, anxiety, and depression. Females in the age group 20 to 50 are the most likely to suffer from fibromyalgia.
A definite cause has not yet been identified but research shows that those that suffer might have a difference in the central nervous system that makes them more sensitive to pain. Some suggest this difference in the CNS could have been as a result of childhood stress or prolonged periods of stress. Others suggest that physical or emotional trauma may trigger the syndrome.
To be successful when treating symptoms of Fibromylagia with essential oils it is important to be consistent.
As with many health concerns, fibromyalgia is best helped on multiple levels. Experiences include help for pain, cleansing, strengthening the immune system, building nutritional balance, and emotional support. Couple these with the possibility that many have used prescription medication and the transition or addition of essential oils may for fibromyalgia require patience to find a proper balance.
1. Essential oils have been know to support the system when you are in pain. Essentail oils support cellular function and healing, they have a strengthening effect on the immune system. There are oils which support healthy liver, kidney, bowel and skin. A gastro-intestinal cleanse can be beneficial because many autoimmune disorders such as fibromyalgia are effected by Candida.
2. Nutritional Balance: Experts agree that using all plant sourced nutritional supplementations can have a profound effect on your symptoms and greatly aid in your symptom. So adding these essential supplements can help eliminate harmful foods and toxins.
3. Emotional Support: These types of health concerns can take an emotional toll on folks. Essential oils support a positive outlook and emotional level of balance.
Remember to be Consistent. This is the key to success.

Free diabetes screenings at the Joslin Center March 27
In recognition of Diabetes Awareness Day, the Joslin Diabetes Center will offer free diabetes screenings Tuesday, March 27 from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Joslin Center is located in the University Health Care Center at 90 Presidential Plaza, Syracuse.
Individuals interested in having their blood tested will sign a consent form and have a small drop of blood from their finger tested for blood sugar level. While the test does not diagnose diabetes, it will indicate whether one's blood sugar is within the target range.
Joslin Center physicians will send a letter to individuals whose blood sugar levels are outside the target range, encouraging them to contact their primary care physicians for follow-up.
"We hope people stop by and take advantage of this free service as diabetes screening can save lives," said Ruth Weinstock, Ph.D, M.D., medical director of the Joslin Center.
More than 15 million people or 5.9 percent of the population in the United States have diabetes. While an estimated 10.3 million have been diagnosed, 5.4 million people are not aware that they have the disease. Each day approximately 2,200 people are diagnosed with diabetes. About 798,000 people will be diagnosed this year.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Historical Traveler Reviews DoubleTree by Hilton Aberdeen City Centre
Beware, many rooms face into the central atrium
No wow factor here. Our first room had a very unpleasant aroma and looking out its only window revealed a view of the hotel lobby. It was a window to the inside of the hotel! We were offered the remaining available room, it too faced into the hotel but at least it didn't smell! The hotel doen't indicate this type of room and charges the same amount for sea views - beware! Be sure to request an outward view when booking.
Our room was stuffy and small which added to the feeling of claustrophobia. The bed was a basic double size and lumpy and the room so hot it was like sleeping through a summer heatwave in April! The heating could not be switched off and hummed all night.
The basin had serious cracks, wide enough to easily slide a fingernail down.
The breakfast was basic but edible - we won't rush back.
Going downhill
I have stayed in this hotel many times, and was disapointed on my most recent visit. The electrics in my room left alot to be desired, with some of the bulbs having blown and not replaced. The price of drink at the bar was a disgrace and on par with a five star hotel, and this is certainly not a five star hotel.
Not such a bad place .
I've stayed at the Pation hotel while in Aberdeen on business three times in the last 7 months and I have to say i've enjoyed the hotel . I like the fact that it's a little out of town but only a ten minute walk and it's a few minutes walk from the beach .
I've found the staff helpful and attentive . The rooms have been perfectly fine , I was lucky enough to be upgraded to the Platinum Club on my last visit and this part of the hotel is excellent , with larger rooms , extra's like complementary soft drinks ,chocolates and free internet access available in the lounge .
The adjoining leisure club is great and the pool,jacuzzi,steam room and sauna great to wind down in after a hard day . The bar/restaurant of the main hotel is fine .
All in all I think it's a good place .
Worst Hotel in Aberdeen
This was my second stay at the Patio and I found the place just as disgraceful as the first time. The staff were inept and belligerent, the room was full of problems and I left feeling very frustrated and stressed. The Patio is always a last resort when everywhere else is full. In future when all the other Hotels are busy, I'll just change my schedule to avoid Aberdeen altogether rather than stay here.
Average Hotel, poor customer service
Found this to be an average hotel, rooms were pleasant and room service was good, reasonably priced and efficient. The leisure facilities were good.
We chose this hotel as we were told by tourist info that it was the nearest to the conference/exhibition centre and the on-site hotel was fully booked. However, unless you have your own transport you would be better off staying in a city-centre hotel. It cost us a fortune in taxis (�7-�8 each way) over the four days. At least from the city you could catch a bus to the conference centre and have the freedom of popping to the shops/restaurants when you want in the evening.
Our major gripe with this hotel relates to the customer service. Because we forgot to request a non-smoking room, we were given a room that smelt very strongly of cigarettes. Although the hotel was fully booked the staff made an effort to clean the room and find us an alternative. However, they were very defensive and told us repeatedly that it was our fault for not specifying a non-smoking room in our booking email. Had they just apologised we would have been happy. I stay in hotels for business regularly and am generally very easy going but rarely have I experienced such rudeness. If we were visiting Aberdeen again we would not return to this hotel purely because of the poor customer service we received. A bit of training on how to deal with complaints effectively would not go amiss.
Bit Noisy
Stayed here for 2 nights in Feb 05. Leisure facilities good, food also good. Rooms below average for 4* hotel and could do with fresh coat of paint. If staying here request a room that does not look out into the bar area, as these rooms are very noisy, we could hear people speaking until around 1am in the morning and general clatter of bar staff serving and clearing up. I ended up having to call reception to complain about the noise. It became quieter after this but yet again the same on Saturday night.
This hotel has a wonderful pool- best I've ever been in and the spa is also excellent. Staff is superb.
But rooms are very small even by U.K. sttandards and air conditioning is nil. If you stay here be sure to get a room with a window tha opens-ours did not and room was too warm to sleep and humid. Hotel is also a good healthy walk from town-takes about 15 minutes.
Needs, and is getting, refurbishment
Very disappointing for 4 star. Deeply embarassed that visitors might think this is our UK 4 star standard.
Staff were disinterested. Door key wouldn't work, sink plug missing or not working, mildew round the bath, wallpaper peeling. You get the picture.
Informed the manager only to be told rooms were being refurbished but ours hadn't been done yet.
No salvation at breakfast - hot bread instead of toast despite returning it once.
Watch out for the boy racers and their cars outside at the front!
I really wouldn't recommend this hotel at all.
We were gifted avoucher for the Patio hotel as a christmas present, it was the best present ever,the surrondings were impressive and we were very lucky in getting a free upgrade for no reason very generous,the room was fantastic and im missing the bed already. we didnt stay long enough to try the pool but it looked great,and our food was excellant.
looking forward to coming back sometime.
Visit the Patio you won't be disappointed
great Location, friendly staff, great food and very clean LARGE accommmodations. Will be back!

The snow pounding the state has caused CHSAA to move field hockey's semifinals in Monument from tonight to Thursday night.
Well, it's officially a "weather advisory" from CHSAA, but we all know the snow storm — the one that's caused 60,350 people around the northeastern part of the state to go without power this morning [1] — is at fault. The storm is also hitting Colorado Springs [2], and Monument is expected to get between four and six inches of snow.
The field hockey semifinals [3] at Don Breese Stadium feature a rematch of last year's state championship game with No. 1 Kent Denver and No. 4 Mountain Vista (5:30 p.m.), as well as No. 2 Colorado Academy playing No. 3 Palmer Ridge (7:15 p.m.).

ALBUQUERQUE — They're big.
Nothing has changed about the New Mexico State University Aggie men's basketball team's core.
They still have 7-foot-5 center Sim Bhullar and he has a nice supporting row of Aggie bigs, including 6-10 Tshilidzi Nephawe and 6-10 Renaldo Dixon.
The Lobos cut down those trees in Las Cruces. Can they repeat the performance in The Pit and get the sweep tonight?
"They have a really good team," said Lobo head coach Craig Neal. "I think they are going to come in here and expect to win."
It's a difficult thing to step into The Pit and leave with a victory. The Aggies probably are good enough to do that, but they have to change the way they played in Las Cruces earlier this month in a 79-70 University of New Mexico win.
NMSU head coach Marvin Menzies was not happy with his Aggies' performance in that loss. Simply put: there wasn't enough fire for a NMSU team defending its home turf against its in-state rival.
Tonight, the Aggies have to change a lot of things. They also have to figure out how to take one of the Lobos' big three out of the scoring column in a big way, although they did it in Las Cruces and still lost.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lenders took back more homes in August than in any month since the start of the U.S. mortgage crisis.
The increase in home repossessions came even as the number of properties entering the foreclosure process slowed for the seventh month in a row, foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac Inc. said Thursday.
In all, banks repossessed 95,364 properties last month, up 3 percent from July and an increase of 25 percent from August 2009, RealtyTrac said.

There hasn't been a concert in Los Alamos since Aug. 27 and it's been too long. However, there will be a Summer Concert fundraiser show Friday at the Blue Window Bistro starring the Juke Joint Duo, Cedric Burnside and Lightnin' Malcolm.
They play the music of the Mississippi Delta and electrified hill country blues.
Before World War II and before such blues superstars like Muddy Waters, Junior Wells, Howlin' Wolf and John Lee Hooker moved north to Chicago, Detroit and other American northern industrial cities, there was rural southern blues.
Migration is the name of the game this month as warblers, sparrows, flycatchers, kinglets, thrushes and other birds set off on adventures to find or return to their winter homes.

The event is jointly sponsored by the Pajarito Environmental Education Center in Los Alamos and Bandelier. More than a dozen games and demonstrations will be held behind the newly renovated visitor center at Bandelier National Monument.
Albuquerque — The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History will host "Broken Hammer," a play written by Robert Benjamin, physicist turned playwright.
In the play, Benjamin blends loyalty and romance with stockpile stewardship. The staged reading will begin at 7 p.m. Sept. 21; it will be followed by a question and answer session with the author.
Benjamin began his career in playwriting after 30 years as a research experimental physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Former LA runner McNiff earns RMAC weekly honor for ASC
Former Los Alamos standout runner Ryan McNiff was named the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Men's Runner of the Week.
McNiff, a senior at Adams State College, was the first runner of 2010 to earn the RMAC honor.
At last week's Joe I. Vigil Invitational, McNiff won the men's 8K race in a time of 24 minutes, 34 seconds, a personal best for him at the Grizzlies' home course, Cattails Golf Course in Alamosa, Colo.

SANTA FE — Did the Los Alamos Hilltopper volleyball team finally find an identity?
It may have, but it took some sifting to secure it.
Following a disastrous opening set against Deming at Roswell's Zia Classic this weekend, the team had a bit of bloodletting.
"We healed a lot of wounds at Roswell," Los Alamos head coach Garry Maskaly said. "We struggled through some issues, but I think those have been resolved. There was a big turning point at Roswell against Deming."
NEW YORK (AP) — FedEx Corp. indicated Thursday that the global economic recovery isn't as strong as previously thought, and moved to fix the weak spot in its operations: its money-losing truck business.
FedEx did raise its financial outlook after its first-quarter net income doubled. But the projections for the second quarter and full year fell shy of Wall Street expectations, and the stock dropped 2.6 percent in premarket trading.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of newly laid-off workers seeking unemployment benefits dropped slightly last week to its lowest level in two months, a sign that employers are cutting fewer jobs.
The Labor Department said Thursday that new claims for jobless benefits fell by 3,000 to a seasonally adjusted 450,000, the third decline in four weeks. Many economists had expected an increase.

A Secure and Privacy-Preserving Targeted Ad-System
Elli Androulaki and Steven M.Bellovin
Columbia University
Abstract. Thanks to its low product-promotion cost and its efficiency, targeted
online advertising has become very popular. Unfortunately, being profile-based,
online advertising methods violate consumers' privacy, which has engendered
resistance to the ads. However, protecting privacy through anonymity seems to
encourage click-fraud. In this paper, we define consumer's privacy and present a
privacy-preserving, targeted ad system (PPOAd) which is resistant towards click
fraud. Our scheme is structured to provide financial incentives to all entities in-
Thanks to its ability to target audiences combined with its low cost, online ad-
vertising has become very popular throughout the past decade. However, cur-
rent profile-based advertising techniques raise privacy risks and may contra-
vene users' expectations, while privacy-preserving techniques, e.g., anonymous
browsing, create many opportunities for fraud. In this way, security and privacy
seem to contradict each other. In this paper we show that the aforementioned
concepts are not mutually exclusive. In particular, we analyze the privacy con-
cerns raised by online advertising as well as the subsequent security issues, and
anteed fraud detection.
Privacy Concern: Targeted Ads To increase their banner-ads' effectiveness,
publishers— usually serviceoriented websites paid to showadvertising spots of
More specifically, third party cookies enable special ad networks to track users'
browsing activity across multiple websites, construct very accurate user-profiles
[KW06], and target ads accordingly. These advertising models track users even
on sensitive sites, such as medical information websites, which could result in
embarrassing advertisements appearing on other sites and in other contexts. A
recent study [TKH+09] show broad rejection of the concept:
not want marketers to tailor advertisements to their interests. Moreover,
Page 2
when Americans are informed of three common ways that marketers
gather data about people in order to tailor ads, even higher percentages
–between 73% and 86%—say they would not want such advertising.
The study found that over half of Americans felt that the punishment for ille-
gal use of personal information should be jail time for the executives or that
the company "be put out of business". The privacy issues become more serious
when a conversion takes place, i.e., an online credit-card-based purchase or any
activity which requires a login, thus linking a profile to a particular identity.
Security Concerns: Fraudulent Clicks In the mechanism described before,
publishers and ad-networks get paid by the advertisers in proportion to the num-
ber of clicks an advertisment receives from users. To dishonestly increase their
revenue, publishers often fake clicks on ads. The existing privacy-preserving
techniques, such as anonymizing networks, make detection of fraudulent clicks
more difficult as all user identification elements are concealed.
Our Contribution In this paper we present an online target advertising tech-
nique combining both privacy and security, PPOAd. More specifically,
1. we provide a concrete defintion of consumers' privacy
2. wepresentaprivacy-preservingmechanismforthecurrentad-systeminfras-
tructure guaranteeing similar or better revenues for all the entities involved
3. we present a privacy-preserving mechanism for click-fraud detection and
show how this mechanism is applied in our system, and
4. we based our protocols on ecash and unlinkable credential systems
Organization In the following section we present current ad-systems' archi-
tecture. In sections 3 and 4 we demonstrate our system's requirements, threat
model and protocols, while in sections 5 and 6, we elaborate on our system's
security, privacy and innovation w.r.t. the exising work.
2Targeted-Ads System Architecture
the principle parties are advertisers, ad networks and the publishers. Adver-
tisers are the companies selling and promoting a particular product or group of
products. Publishers are usually service-oriented websites paid to publish ad-
vertisements of advertisers' products. Ad networks are paid by advertisers to
choose the list of advertisements which will appear on publishers and filter the
clicks the ads receive. Typical examples of ad-networks are Doubleclick (owned
by Google), Atlas Solutions (owned by Microsoft), Brightcove, and more. It is
Page 3
often the case that an ad network offers various services and also acts as a pub-
When a user visits a website (publisher), the browser sends to the publisher
some pieces of information called cookies, which link multiple visits of the
same user. In fact, a special type of cookies, the third party cookies, are sent
user activity across multiple websites. In this way, especially as ad networks
collaborate with many publishers, they construct very accurate user profiles and
target ads accordingly. There are many policies regarding how ad-networks and
publishers are paid. The most popular one is the "cost per click" (CPC), where
both parties are paid by the advertisers in proportion to the number of clicks the
latters' ads receive.
As clearly shown before, targeted ads violate privacy, while CPC payment
method motivates many attacks: publishers may fake clicks on ads they publish
to increase their income, while advertisers may generate clicks on their competi-
tors' advertisements to deplete the latter's daily advertising budget. Detection
of click-fraud is currently the responsibility of ad networks. Unfortunately, it is
apparent that any conventional mechanism concealing users' browsing activity
may strengthen click fraud.
3 Requirements-Threat Model
In this section we will define privacy, security and deployability in the context
of our system w.r.t. our system's requirements and threat model.
in our system. Privacy refers to the user-protection, while security refers to the
protection of the other entities of the system. More specifically, we define pri-
vacy, as the union of:
– User Activity Unlinkability. No system entity should be able to profile a
particular honest user, i.e., link two or more browsing activities as having
originated by the same party, and
– User Anonymity. No system entity should be able to link a particular brows-
ing activity to an identity.
In addition, we define security as the combination of the following properties:
– Correctness. We require that if all parties are honest, advertisers will pay
publishers and ad networks in accordance to the number of clicks their ads
have received, while privacy is maintained.
– Fairness. We require that parties in our system will be paid if and only if
they do their duty properly.
Page 4
– Accountability. Our system should also be accountable, i.e., misbehaving
parties should be detected and identified.
– Unframability. We require that no user can frame an honest user for be-
ing responsible for a misbehavior, i.e., for click-fraud. It is conceivable that
strong accountability implies unframability.
– Mis-Authentication. Unless authorized, no user should be able to make use
of our system.
We can easily see how the click fraud detection requirement is covered through
the fairness and accountability requirements: fairness requires that publishers
should not receive payments for fake clicks on a particular advertisement, while
accountability requires that the attacker is traced.
In addition, we require that our system provide similar ad-efficiency, which
would result in similar profitability to the parties involved. At least as important,
it must be deployable. Similar ad-efficiency and, thus, similar profitability for
publishers and ad networks aims to eliminate any monetary constraints against
the adoption of a new system. Deployability is important for the same reasons.
We examine deployability from two aspects: (a) w.r.t. our system's architecture:
not substantial changes in current ad-system architecture should be required for
our protocols to be applied; (b) w.r.t. our threat model, where we make real
world assumptions.
It is essential to note that both privacy and security provisions are required
in the application layer. Also, we extend the current ad-system architecture with
a single entity — which may or may not be distributed — the User Ad Proxy
(UAP), which acts as a mediator between the user and each visiting website.
Threat Model. Ad-systems' strong monetary nature, imposes "following the
money" the safest way to define our adversaries' motives and powers. In what
follows, we examine our adversary w.r.t. users' privacy and ad-system's secu-
Publishers may be "curious" w.r.t. users' privacy, i.e., they may collaborate
with ad networks, advertisers or other users in order to reveal the identity of a
particular user or to link browsing activities of the same user. In addition, we
assume that publishers are "honest and dishonest" w.r.t. the ad networks and
advertisers. In particular, we assume that they do provide correct user-profile
related information to the ad networks, but may attempt to fake clicks to the
advertisements they publish in order to increase their revenues.
Ad networks' revenues depend on the efficiency of the way they list ads
in the various publishers, as well as on their credibility. Ads' efficiency de-
pends on the accuracy of users-profiling, while credibility depends of the ad
network's click frauds' detectability. It is, consequently, reasonable to assume
Page 5
that ad networks are "honest but curious", w.r.t. users, while they are "honest"
w.r.t. advertisers.
Advertisers are considered to be "curious" w.r.t. the users. In particular,
since advertisers have no direct interaction with them, we believe that they may
collaborate with publishers or ad-networks to make user-profiling more accu-
UAP is considered to be "honest but curious" w.r.t. the users. More specif-
ically, we assume that UAP is trusted to perform its functional operations hon-
estly towards the users, but may collaborate with publishers or any other entity
to link separate browsing activities of the same user. We also adopt a economic
model so that UAP does not have a motive to cheat the advertisers.
4 A Privacy preserving Targeted-Ad System
As mentioned in the previous section, we extend the current ad-system architec-
ture with the User Ad Proxy (UAP). UAP may be considered either as a single
entity or as a group of collaborating entities and acts as a communication medi-
ator between a user U visiting a publisher-website Pub and Pub. It is important
to note that to hide any lower layer information emitted, U interacts with the
rest of the system entities through an anonymizing network, while to automat-
ically erase any cookies acquired and to be able to communicate with UAP or
an UAP-member (if distributed), user-side installs a piece of software, which
basically establishes an anonymous — communication layer — registration of
user with the UAP.
The three core operations of our system: (a) the registration procedure of
a user U at PPOAd, during which U obtains credentials to use the services of
UAP, (b) the visit to a publisher, where a PPOAd-user requests a webpage, and
(c) the ad-clicking procedure, where the user clicks on one of the publisher's
ads (fig. 1). For convenience, we will assume that a user U is interacting with a
publisher Pub. In addition, we will assume a single UAP, while in section 5, we
will refer to the distributed UAP case.
Our scheme is based on the use of two types of tokens, issued by the user-
UAP collaboration during the registration procedure: a registration credential
regtick, which authorizes U as member of PPOAd multiple times anonymously
and unlinkably, and a wallet with adticks, Wadtick, which will enable U to click
on ads. regticks are blind towards the UAP, their possession can be demon-
strated by their owner anonymously and unlinkably many times, each time re-
sulting in a session-oriented ticket tick. Issued by the valid collaboration be-
tween U and the UAP, adticks are blind towards the UAP and can only be used
for a limited number of times (MaxClicks) strictly by the person who issued

Gwen Stefani in DSquared2 Skinny Boyfriend Jeans
Gwen Stefani got snapped while out with her family in Primrose Hill, London. They ate in a sushi restaurant together before heading to a toy store.
Gwen wore her DSquared2 Skinny Boyfriend Jeans again, this time with a white tank top and black sneakers. Even though this is a really simple outfit, I think Gwen always manages to make it look chic! Buy DSqaured2 online at LuisaViaRoma.com.

Gwen Stefani in DSquared2 Skinny Boyfriend Jeans
Gwen Stefani was all smiles as she left yet another acupuncture session at Jesun Acupuncture Clinic in Koreatown in Los Angeles, California.
Gwen wore a pair of DSquared2 Boyfriend jeans with a black and white striped tank top and some heels for the day. I love that she often opts for slouchy skinny boyfriend jeans, they really suit her personality perfectly and I'm quite fond of the red, white and black theme here too!

Gwen Stefani in Paige Denim Sierra Overalls in Vintage Black
Gwen Stefani was spotted paying another visit to the Acupuncture Studio in Los Angeles, California. The judge of The Voice wore a pair of the Paige Denim Sierra Overalls in Vintage Black with some lace up boots and a simple sweater.
Gwen always seems to find a way to make me appreciate a trend, even the ones that I am not the most fond of. She styles them and carries herself in a way that makes them feel more chic than casual. How many of you are fans of the way Gwen styles her pieces? You can click here to purchase these overalls from the Paige website.
Gwen Stefani in G-Star Raw Type C 3D Loose Tapered Jeans
Photographed on her daily outing to the chiropractor, Gwen Stefani wore a pair of G-Star Raw Type C 3D Loose Tapered jeans in Vintage Light Aged with a red mesh shirt and red heels.
I am actually surprised that we don't see more photos of Gwen in G-Star, the edgier aesthetic of the brand suits her style really well. I like that the styles always have such great attention to detail, like the small logo-ed seam near the hem of these jeans, but they never look too over thought.

One of my favorite bands was playing here for $5 tonight. I took the day off, managed to get out of all other responsibilities, annnnd they had to cancel. So much woe.
So my favorite band who I am supposed to see (and meet) in 29 days just broke up today.. They are still doing the tour but the guy who is leaving the band won't be there. I wanted to meet him so bad. Still glad I get to meet the other two but... I definitely sobbed when I found out. It just sucks.
Don't fear tomorrow.
Chloe - 9 y/o Dachshund/Chihuahua | Violet - 3 y/o Siberian Husky
Rest in peace - Holly (Siberian Husky)|Misty (Siberian Husky)|Princess (Silky Terrier)
Forever in my heart - Dixie (Yorkshire Terrier)|Lucy (Silky Terrier/Yorkie Mix)
More bad luck at the races tonight.
I need to sleep, but I can't. I need to wake up by 4:30 am.

So I looked at my credit report, and I have a derogatory account open, to the tune of $215. Uh, 'scuse me? I know the things I am late on because of this move, and they have all been taken care of (most of them actually didn't report me at all, because my credit is so good and so is my reputation for ALWAYS paying).
So for shits and giggles I googled it and most people said it is a cellphone company. Hm. Cell phone? I wonder.
It looks like, after heeing and hawing about how I need my own phone plan, and I paid it up, turned the phone in and told him to cancel it, Jin simply (FINALLY. AFTER 8 **** MONTHS OF WAITING. CONVENIENTLY) switched everything to my name and refused to pay anything at all.
So Verizion wants over $300 from me.
Good lord there is no words for my hate right now.
I'm pretty sure my washer just died. IT is smoking and filling with water.
Hank - (approx. 1 1/2 year old Spotty Dog)

Tomorrow is my birthday.
We planned on going to celebrate tonight because Josh starts night shift tomorrow. I've spent the day feeling sick and being irrationally upset.
My 2 "best friends" decided they would rather take a road trip (specifically excluding me). Then, we were invited to the drive-in by some other friends, on the condition that I drove everyone there. So they could drink.
Gee thanks.

& Sally, never forgotten.
I'm spaying my first dog to-morrow (a humane society dog)... pretty much the only preparation I've had is watching a video I can't do this. Watching a video is supposed to be adequate preparation??? I've never even done this on a cadaver before! It's just absurd that they can expect us to watch a video and then be prepared to perform a procedure we've never done before (we've done other simpler procedures... but it's not nearly the same thing!)
You might as well tell me to watch a football game on TV and then strap me to a helmet and some pads and then enter me in an actual football game against dozens of 6'6" tall Samoan guys

I got stung by a bee on the bottom of my foot this afternoon. My sister got it out within five seconds, but I'm allergic and it sucks. It caused shortness of breath and now my whole body is itchy. My mouth is puffy and rash-y inside and it's just gross.
0/5 stars, would not recommend.

As I made my way through the course, I was cheering on other runners, saying hi and talking to people. Along the Alaskan way aqueduct, I came across another runner who was wearing a "Rock Idol" bib with the number 10 on it, indicating he'd run 10 Rock & Roll events so far this year. I asked him if that was true, and he replied with, "Yes, 10 American events." I was incredibly impressed, mostly because that's a lot of race entry fees and a lot of travel.
All in all, this race was an absolute success. I ran well (incredibly well given my inconsistent training), had fun and, most importantly, was able to raise a grand total of $1500 for the American Cancer Society.
However, I discovered something very important about myself as a charity runner: I am not an externally motivated person. Part of the reason I chose to run this race for the ACS was because it was a cause that meant a lot to me personally, and part of it was I figured the public commitment and cause bigger than myself would help keep me motivated to train. And, if I was someone who was driven by external motivation, it would have. However, I'm very internally driven. If I'm not feeling it, it's not going to happen. On those mornings when I tried to think of the reason I was running to summon some extra motivation to get up and get out the door, I still hit the snooze button and fell back asleep, but felt a little more guilty for doing so. The only time that my commitment to the ACS got me out the door to run was on race day.
Does this mean I'm against charity running programs? Not entirely. However, I have learned that they're not for me. I'm not the most natural fundraiser, and when you combine that with the fact that external motivation does so little for me, it just doesn't make sense for me personally. I'm still glad I did this, and I know it meant a lot to a lot of people that I ran this race as a charity runner, but it'll be a while before I choose to do so again. (Plus, after running so many races alone, it felt weird to have the ACS coaches jumping in with me every few miles to ask me if I needed anything or if I was doing OK. Really weird.)The biggest thing I got out of this race, in all honesty, had absolutely nothing to do with my fundraising efforts. It was that I got my running confidence and mojo back. Prior to this race, I'd been feeling uneasy about Ragnar , wondering if I'd have the fitness to get through it. Now? I know I won't be fast, but I'll be able to run well enough to enjoy myself, and I'm really looking forward to it. (Especially since I got to meet several of my NUUNKOTB teammates that weekend, including Becky , Laura , Stacie , Holly , and Alanna !)
