Changing Lives
Social anxiety is fear and worry in situations where the child has to interact with other people or be the focus of attention. Children who experience higher levels of social anxiety are more commonly described as shy, and the central problem is a fear that other people with think badly of them. They fear that they will do something or act in a way that will be embarrassing. The child may experience physical symptoms such as nausea, stomachaches, blushing, or trembling. Between 1 and 9% of children and adolescents will develop Social Phobia and this is diagnosed when the child's social anxiety has persisted for more than 6 months and has a significant impact on the child's life (Schniering, Hudson & Rapee, 2000). Children with social phobia may avoid many situations that require interaction with other people, including meeting new people, talking on the telephone, joining teams or clubs, answering questions in class, or wearing the "wrong" clothes.
Social anxiety often goes unnoticed because the child is typically quiet and obedient in preschool/school and may not voice his or her fears. Of course, shyness in itself is not a problem (if everyone was an extrovert the world would be a much less interesting and enjoyable place), it is only problematic when it interferes with the child's enjoyment in life. Many shy children develop satisfying and long-term friendships and have outstanding careers and achievements. However, if the shyness and social anxiety prevent the child from participating in everyday activities (such as classroom discussions), enjoyable events (such as parties) or from making lasting friendships then it is worth seeking help.
A number of general steps to reduce your child's anxiety are explained on the 'Generalised Anxiety in Kids' page. Here are some specific examples for dealing with social anxiety.
Here is an example of a stepladder for a 4 year old child who is fearful of meeting and talking to new people. Each stepladder needs to be set up so that it matches the child's level of fear. The steps in the stepladder below may be too slow/easy or too fast/hard for some children. It will all depend on your child's anxiety. For the first few times the child practices these stepladders, it is a good idea to choose children/adults that you know will react kindly to your child. Once your child is more confident, they can practice saying hello or approaching a child that is unfamiliar (and hence you won't know how the child/person will react). Sometimes peers do react in a less than ideal way or may reject your child. One of the lessons your child can learn from these step ladders is that she can cope even if someone doesn't wants to play with her.
Toddlers (1-3 years): Repeat a phrase to the child "I can do it"
Younger children (3-6 years): Help your child to come up with a phrase that they could say to themselves when they are in the situation such as "I can be brave", "No-one will laugh", "I will be ok."
Older children (7+ years): You can help your child learn more quickly during the stepladders by helping them to think more realistically in the situation. Encourage your child to ask him/herself: "What happened last time when I asked a question in class?", "How likely is that I will mess up my words?", or "What did I think of my friend when he gave the wrong answer?"
Embarrassment first develops at around 2-3 years of age!

An interval is a natural way of specifying a number that is specified only within certain tolerances. Interval analysis consists of the tools and methods needed to solve linear and nonlinear systems of equations in the presence of data uncertainties. Applications include the sensitivity analysis of solutions of equations depending on parameters, the solution of global nonlinear problems, and the verification of results obtained by finite-precision arithmetic.

This application claims the benefit of priority on U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/520,753, filed on Nov. 17, 2003.
1. Field
Embodiments of the invention relate to programmable digital devices. More specifically, one embodiment of the invention relates to a system, apparatus and method for detecting and preventing tampering with programmable digital devices.
2. General Background
Analog communication systems are rapidly giving way to their digital counterparts. High-definition television (HDTV) broadcasts have already begun in most major cities on a limited basis, with the goal for all programming to be HDTV broadcasts. Similarly, the explosive growth of the Internet and the World Wide Web have resulted in a correlative growth in the increase of downloadable audio-visual files, such as MP3-formatted audio files, as well as other content.
Simultaneously with, and in part due to this rapid movement toward digital communications, there have been significant advances in digital recording devices. Digital versatile disk (DVD) recorders, digital VHS video cassette recorders (D-VHS VCR), CD-ROM recorders (e.g., CD-R and CD-RW), MP3 recording devices, and hard disk-based recording units are but merely representative of the digital recording devices that are capable of producing high quality recordings, without the generational degradation (i.e., increased degradation between successive copies) known in the analog counterparts.
As a result, due to fears of unauthorized and uncontrolled copying such digital content, content providers such as the motion picture and music industries have become reluctant in providing downloadable digital content. In fact, there are requests for copy protection initiatives that extend beyond the traditional role of conditional access (CA), namely scrambling and descrambling of content for real-time viewing and/or listening.
One initiative in development is the implementation of CA technology in a subscriber terminal device (e.g., set-top box) using a secure embedded processor. This secure embedded processor would be configured to store sensitive data, namely cryptographic keys, certificates, microcode, gate configuration data or other persistent information for example, within an internal one-time programmable (OTP) memory.
Traditionally, OTP memory may be implemented with one or more fuses or anti-fuses. A "fuse" (or an emulation of such) involves the destructive removal of an internal interconnection to permanently change a bit in OTP memory from a manufactured default state of logic "1" (ONE) to logic "0" (ZERO). Once performed, this transition can never be reversed. An "anti-fuse," however, has all bits programmed to ZERO by default and the transition is to ONE. Both of these configurations enable the OTP memory to permanently disable external read or write accesses after the sensitive data has been loaded. However, by their nature, OTP memory is susceptible to security attacks.
For instance, security attacks may be conducted to gain unauthorized access to read the sensitive data in order to clone or create methods to circumvent it. Such attacks may be conducted to alter or substitute data in place of the bona fide preloaded, sensitive data to circumvent normal operation of the secure processor. As a result, the operations of the secure processor may be disrupted or incoming content made be decrypted by unauthorized parties.
One of the simpler methods of attack is to "blind write" over existing key data to change the OTP keys to a deterministic (known) value. One such method is to take advantage of the fuse or anti-fuse logic by changing the unique keys from their original value to all ONEs or ZEROes, depending upon the fuse technology deployed. More specifically, if all ones (or conversely all ZEROes) are written into the memory location reserved for the OTP keys, the existing contents will be transitioned to a deterministic value, regardless of the prior state, even without being able to read the memory.
With known values now installed in the OTP memory, content can be then freely accessed through the transmission of an entitlement management message (EMM) entitling the device to decode all content. Alternatively, the subscriber terminal device may be permanently rendered non-functional if a malicious blind write is made to a memory area of programmable logic containing gate configuration data, or a memory area of an embedded microcontroller or digital signal processor containing microcode or algorithms.
Embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the accompanying drawings, in which like references indicate similar elements and in which:
Various embodiments of the invention relate to a system, apparatus and method for detecting and preventing tampering with a programmable digital device. According to one embodiment of the invention, the programmable digital device comprises one-time programmable (OTP) memory for storage of data involved in the decoding of digital content, normally encoded prior to transmission to the digital device. As described herein, the decoding operations are performed completely within the digital device. Of course, exclusive decoding operations internally within the digital device are not required to practice the invention.
In the following description, certain terminology is used to describe features of the invention. For instance, a "message" is generally defined as a series of bits while "digital content" may include, but is not limited or restricted to an image, audio, video or any combination thereof. The terms "component" or "logic" are each representative of hardware and/or software configured to perform one or more functions.
Examples of "hardware" include, but are not limited or restricted to an integrated circuit such as a processor (e.g., microprocessor, application specific integrated circuit, a digital signal processor, a micro-controller, programmable logic device, etc.), combinatorial logic (e.g., logic gates) or the like.
Examples of "software" include a series of executable instructions in the form of an application, an applet, or even a routine. The software may be stored in any type of machine readable medium such as a programmable electronic circuit, a semiconductor memory device such as volatile memory (e.g., random access memory, etc.) and/or non-volatile memory (e.g., any type of read-only memory "ROM", flash memory), a floppy diskette, an optical disk (e.g., compact disk or digital video disc "DVD"), a hard drive disk, tape, or the like.
The term "decode" and varying forms thereof is generally defined as the transformation of data from an obfuscated format to a perceivable format (e.g., viewable and/or audible). Since an obfuscated format may be an encrypted format or a scrambled format for example, decode operations may involve descrambling and/or decryption. Likewise, the term "encode" and varying forms thereof is generally defined as the transformation of data from a perceivable (clear) format to an obfuscated (encrypted, scrambled, etc.) format.
Referring to
The program data may be propagated as a digital bit stream for example. Subscriber terminal device 110 may operate as any of a wide variety of products such as a set-top box, television, cellular telephone, computer, audio-recording device (e.g., MP3 player), video-recording device (e.g., digital recorder), digital satellite receiver, cable modem, products with Ethernet interfaces, smart card based products or the like.
According to one embodiment of the invention, subscriber terminal device 110 comprises a secure processor 115, which processes the incoming information received over a first transmission medium 120. This "transmission medium" may include, but is not limited to electrical wires, optical fiber, cable, a wireless link established by wireless signaling circuitry, or the like. First transmission medium 120 may be adapted to transfer the incoming information from a headend (cable), an antenna via a content provider, or even one or more peripheral components described below.
After receipt of the incoming information, secure processor 115 extracts the program data, inclusive of encoded digital content, and places the encoded digital content into a perceivable format. For instance, secure processor 115 comprises a descrambler (DESC) 130 to descramble scrambled digital content and/or a decryption component (DEC) 135 to decrypt the received digital content when placed in an encrypted format.
More specifically, subscriber terminal device 110 utilizes secure embedded processor 115 that decodes payloads carried in both entitlement control messages (ECMs) and entitlement management messages (EMMs). An ECM is a copy management command message that is generally used to regulate access to a particular channel or service. An EMM, however, is another copy management command message that is used to deliver entitlements (sometimes referred to as "privileges") to subscriber terminal device 110. Examples of certain entitlements may include, but are not limited to access criteria and/or descrambling keys.
As an exemplary illustration, secure processor 115 may be adapted to extract access criteria associated with the desired encoded content, such as a television broadcast or movie, from the ECM and compare the recovered access criteria with previously sent entitlements contained in the EMM. If a match is detected, a key for the desired encoded content, contained in the ECM along with the access criteria, is recovered and applied to descrambler 130 and/or decryption component 135 for recovery of clear text content for display, storage or other use. The recovery of the key for the desired encoded content may require additional processing (e.g., key ladder or chain) before use by descrambler and/or decryption component 135 as described below.
As shown in
Depending on the type of product corresponding to the subscriber terminal device 110, content delivery system 100 may include an audio system 150 coupled to second transmission medium 140. A digital VCR 160, such as a D-VHS VCR, may also be coupled to subscriber terminal device 110 as well as other peripheral components of content delivery system 100 through second transmission medium 140.
A hard disk recording unit 170 may also be coupled to subscriber terminal device 110 and other peripheral components via transmission medium 140. Display 180 may include a high definition television display, a monitor, or another device capable of processing digital video signals. Finally, a control unit 190 may be coupled to second transmission medium 140. Control unit 190 may be used to coordinate and control the operation of some or each of the components on content delivery system 100.
Referring to
As further shown in
At some point in its lifecycle, OTP memory 210 for subscriber terminal device 100 is provisioned with sensitive data 212. Sensitive data 212 may be some form of a device specific, serialized or otherwise unique master key or certificate for use in subsequent operations to authenticate or recover cryptographic keys. According to another embodiment, sensitive data 212 may be an algorithm, microcode, gate configuration data or another type of data that, if tampered with, could adversely effect the operations of subscriber terminal device 100 or allow decoding of content by unauthorized parties.
As an illustrative example, upon receipt of program data 240 by subscriber terminal device 100, a key is recovered. The key may be from an ECM, which is a portion of program data 240. Of course, as an alternative embodiment, the key may be transmitted as part of a sideband message for receipt by an optional sideband transceiver 250 coupled to secure processor 115. Sensitive data 212 may be used as a device-specific master key to recover one or more decoding keys.
As shown in
Referring now to
For instance, when memory cells 400 are adapted with fuse logic, as shown in
For all of these memory architectures, external read and write accesses are permanently disabled after sensitive data 212 has been loaded. In an actual implementation, sensitive data 212 may be stored through the use of a write-once, write-only memory architecture wherein the data is written once through the use of fuse, anti-fuse or other logic with the elements necessary for buffering the signal to allow reading the contents on an external bus for example.
Referring now to
As an example, logic gates (e.g., NAND gates) 610 1-610 N may be coupled to an output of each sense amplifier (SA) 450 1-450 N, which correspond to memory cells 400 1-400 N coupled to bit line 440 1-440 N, respectively. Memory cells 400 1-400 N are assigned for storage of sensitive data 212 (not shown). The outputs of these logic gates 610 1-610 N are provided as input into a summation logic gate (e.g., N-input NAND gate) 620. If the summation of all logic gates 600 tracking the individual bits indicates that memory cells 400 1-400 N have all transitioned to the same value in opposition to the default value, namely an output of N-input logic gate 620 is equal to ONE (for fuse logic OTP memory) or ZERO (for anti-fuse logic OTP memory), TAMPER_DETECT flag 630 is set.
As another example, an N-input logic gate 640 (e.g., N-input NAND gate) may be coupled to an output of each sense amplifier 450 1-450 N, which correspond to memory cells 400 1-400 N associated with bit line 440 1-440 N, respectively. Memory cells 400 1-400 N are again assigned for storage of sensitive data 212 (not shown). When memory cells 400 1-400 N have all transitioned to the same value opposite the default value, logic gate 640 outputs a value that causes TAMPER_DETECT flag 630 to be set.
Referring to
Periodically, data stored within memory cells 400 is accessed and undergoes CRC processing to produce a current CRC value 710. Current CRC value 710 is compared to stored CRC value 700 by comparator 720. If a match is computed, no tampering has been detected. However, if a match is not computed, a malicious write operation has occurred to memory cells 400 of OTP memory 210.
Alternatively, it is contemplated that sensitive data 212 may undergo a one-way hash function to produce a hash result in lieu of a CRC value. The same operations would occur, regardless of the manner in which the derivative result is produced.
Regardless of how tampering is detected by tamper detection circuit 220 of
For instance, if the malicious write is performed upon non-key information (e.g., microcode, algorithms, gate configuration data, etc.), the malicious write is not directed toward creation of a deterministic key. In this case, a redundant (alternative) copy of the sensitive data is retrieved and the tampered copy is noted as "unusable" (blocks 820, 830). Such marking may be accomplished by the secure processor writing into one or more flag bits associated with tampered copy of the sensitive data. Hence, there will be no subsequent attempts to use the data.
If the subscriber terminal device supports bi-directional communications or any internal status or debugging data storage/display, a warning is created and output (or stored) to indicate that malicious tampering has been detected (block 840).
However, if the attack is directed toward creation of a deterministic key, the secure processor temporarily disables all decoding of content (block 850). Thereafter, a warning may be created and output (or stored) to indicate that a piracy attempt has been detected (block 860). It is contemplated that OTP memory may include to multiple secure memory locations physically separate from each other and adapted for the storage of redundant copies of the sensitive data. Therefore, if one of the memory locations is tampered with, a different secure memory location preloaded with a redundant copy of the sensitive data may be accessed if further decoding is desired (block 870). Whether or not a redundant copy of sensitive data is accessed may depend on a variety of factors, including the type or frequency of the illicit write event.
If further decoding is desired, access to the tampered memory location is prevented (block 880). According to one embodiment, prevention can be accomplished by changing a value associated with a mask register, which is used to compute the actual targeted address (memory cells) for accessing data therefrom. This effectively redirects a data access to the different secure memory location (block 885). Otherwise, if no further decoding is desired, access to the tampered memory location is merely prevented (block 890).
For instance, as an illustrative example, tampering detected at memory location "A" associated with a first plurality of memory cells activates a countermeasure to transparently remap attempted (normal) accesses to location "A" to an alternative and possibly randomized location "B" (or "C" or "D", etc.) through the use of a mask register. Combinatorial logic allows the combination of address lines, read, chip select and a map select algorithm to redirect the actual internal address lines to the new location. The map algorithm may be a value contained in yet another OTP location for a higher level of indirection. A pseudo-code example is shown in Table A:
Read 0x10000 attempted
No tamper detected & mask = FFFF (default)
Actual location 0x10000 read
Read 0x10000 attempted
Tamper detected
Mask changed (nonvolatile or volatile) to FFFE
Actual location 0x1FFAB read based upon hardcoded algorithm
OR contents of other OTP memory location
In the foregoing description, the invention is described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments thereof. It will, however, be evident that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the appended claims. The specification and drawings are accordingly to be regarded in an illustrative rather than in a restrictive sense.

General: U.S. firm on Iraq deadline
Published: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
The deadline of turning over power in Iraq to the Iraqi people remains July 1 with no plans for a pullout of American military forces any time soon, a senior Pentagon official told local residents Tuesday.
"Unequivocally the transfer will occur July 1, there is no question about that," said Army Maj. Gen.William B. Caldwell. "They will be in charge of their own destiny at that point. But will the United States remain committed to helping them grow their democracy? You bet."
Speaking to the Rotary Club of Hendersonville, Caldwell gave a report on the U.S.-led coalition's activities in Afghanistan and Iraq. As a senior military assistant to Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, Caldwell said President Bush is not wavering from the scheduled transition of power in Iraq. In recent weeks, there have been continuing military casualties and in an ominous turn, more reports of civilian deaths and kidnappings.
"We are going to stay the course -- I have personally heard the president say this," Caldwell said, referring to recent briefings he and Wolfowitz had with Bush in helping the president prepare for a televised speech to the nation last night.
"We're going to leave advisors to all the Iraqi ministries to help with advice and information, the military is not drawing down at all. There are no plans for at least six months after the takeover and armed forces levels will remain as they are to provide them with as much opportunity as possible to succeed."
Increasingly violent attacks on coalition forces, in particularly the killing of four American civilians in the central Iraqi town of Fallujah, point to members of Saddam Hussein's regime, Caldwell said.
"There's no question that these anti-coalition forces are people who have been members of terrorist groups in addition to elements which I think are part of Sadaam's former intelligence and security apparatus," he said. "They know the gig's up and they're desperate to get the U.S. out of there."
In a letter intercepted by a courier of terrorist leader Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi to senior al-Qaida leadership, al-Zarqawi states "But America did not come to leave and it will not leave no matter how numerous its wounds become and how much of its blood is spilled. There is no doubt that the space in which we can move has begun to shrink."
Caldwell, 50, has not been deployed to Iraq, but las visited the country in February. The Fallujah incident is not a sign of things falling apart, he said, although Caldwell admitted the region must be brought under control.
"That's always been a hot spot -- we've never really felt real comfortable that we had Fallujah completely under control, it's been a delicate balancing act since the end of the war," Caldwell said. "But we will bring it under control. We have hit a bump in the road, but it (transition of power) will go forward."
Caldwell entered the Army upon graduation from the U.S. Military Academy in 1975. His grandfather was an Army dentist during WW II and his father is a retired lieutenant general and Korea and Vietnam veteran.
Caldwell will leave his current post to take command of the 82nd Airborne Division on May 27.
Caldwell is married and has five children.

Husky Hockey Stays Hot
Behind two David Eddy goals on Saturday and great goaltending from Dan Dunn and Mike Lee, the Saint Cloud State Men's Hockey team swept their third consecutive series this last weekend. The 14th ranked Huskies swept No. 17 Quinnipiac University in non-conference action and seem to be getting hot at the right time.
The special teams netted two more power play goals in the series and Garrett Raboin also scored a short handed goal on Friday. The shorty on Friday was the team's 8th of the year which leads all Division one teams.
The Huskies will ride their six-game winning streak into this weekend when they play a home and home series against the University of Minnesota. The Gophers beat Saint Cloud all six times last year including twice in postseason, so this match-up should have extra motivation this time around. The Gophers have been struggling this year but currently sit just four points behind St.Cloud coming into the weekend.
Listen to KVSC for coverage of both games, with puck drop at 7:07 p.m. Friday at the National Hockey Center and 5:07 p.m. Saturday at Mariuci Arena. The pre-game show starts twenty minutes before each contest.

With this in mind, it is easy to see why I was so pleased and surprised to find someone had written a book about the subject; especially as thoughtful and insightful a one as Quality Data Assessment.
Arkady Maydanchik brings years of experience and first-hand knowledge to the table, while organizing it into a logical, sequential and, most important, understandable manual. This book goes into the typical causes of data degradation as well as how to find it and begin the process of fixing it.
You can't even begin to fix your data until you have a clear picture of what's going on "in there", so data assessment is the first and maybe the most important step in achieving data consistency and reliability. If your work involves data assessment, migration creation or maintenance, you should have this book on your shelf. It's that simple.
But wait, there's more. This is just the first volume in a set of data assessment and cleaning processes, tips, tricks and tools books that will be forthcoming. I'm told that the second volume in this series will be published in October 2008. I know it sounds incredibly geeky, but I can hardly wait.
I especially liked portions of Chapter 8. They lay out a process for actually creating business rules, another one of those nettlesome tasks that people underestimate.
This book introduces the reader on a very high level precisely, but always easy to understand into several methods and techniques that can be applied to a data quality assessment project. It should be part of the toolbox for everyone concerned about data quality.
I bought the book after hearing Maydanchuk speak. Both the speach and the book are well organized and useful.
The book has a bit more than I found useful about how to organize your findings. I use his ideas all the time, but have not used his database at all. Shame on me!
The English is quaint in spots. What the heck!
Data quality is not fully established domain of knowledge so you can encounter many people with different opinions what data quality really is.
I think that this book very well summarizes knowledge of data quality domain both theoreticaly but more importantly practically. Author is long time practicioner and it is certain that he uses his knowledge troughout the book not just describing some theory unused or impossible to use in practice.
I also appreciate the style of writting. Author is trying to be clear about what he states, gives examples..

Hi, Bryan. You actually need to change this page yourself, as a committer. I did it a long time ago and can't remember the magic incantations, but I suspect Jean or Andrew can give you guidance. Is this information available on a web page somewhere, maybe in our Wiki?

ISLAMABAD (AP) -- A government official and a witness say missiles believed fired from a U.S. unmanned plane have killed seven people in northwestern Pakistan.
The identities of those killed in the late Thursday strike in Kurram region were not immediately known.
A senior official in Kurram agency says the house targeted was believed to be frequented by Islamist militants.
Villager Ismail Khan says spy planes were seen hovering over the area before the attack.
He says local militants have retrieved seven bodies from the destroyed house.
The United States has launched more than 30 missile strikes in Pakistan on al-Qaida and Taliban targets close to the Afghan border since last year.

Country Thunder 2013 sells out six months early
Hopefully any Wisconsin country music fans who were eager to party with the biggest stars this summer at Country Thunder were thinking way ahead and already purchased their tickets. The annual four-day country music festival in Twin Lakes is already sold out six months in advance of its July 18-21 run, event organizers announced Tuesday. In addition to all multi-day passes already being gobbled up, no single day tickets will be available either.
One of a large number of country festivals across Wisconsin each summer, Country Thunder has grown in recent years to draw fans from across the nation to camp out in Southeastern Wisconsin and see a lineup of some of the genre's biggest stars. Last year's festival attendance topped 33,000. That was also a sell out, but one that only came days before the festival began. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

Summerfest reports attendance was up at this year's festival
One year after sizzling heat took a toll on Summerfest attendance, the Big Gig recovered slightly, as 840,356 fans flocked to the lakefront, according to figures released Thursday.

Sandler and friends reunite for lazy, unfunny sequel
Despite being lambasted by critics, 2010's "Grown Ups" was an enormous hit, grossing $162 million domestically and another $109 million worldwide. It stands to reason that "Grown Ups 2" will do just as well — even though it's made for home viewing when you're flipping channels late at night and nothing else is on.
Once again, producer/co-writer/star Adam Sandler decided to gather all his friends and hang out for a few months — and get a major studio to pay for their get-together. Sometimes you wonder if they even knew (or cared) that cameras were rolling. »Read Full Article(4)

Neko Case kills art contest, gets into it on Twitter
I noticed something in my Twitter stream late last night. Singer-songwriter Neko case was getting into it with artists and designers.

ZRP Musings: Self Doubt Still Kills Me
I have not ran away from this place.
I just have not been feeling all Zombie Running Princessey as of late.
But lets talk about a few things:
Dad's home. If you have followed me on social media for any length of time you know my dads been in and out of hospitals for the past three years. I am excited to say he is home and doing pretty dang well. We have hit a few bumps in the road but its expected. Each day gets better.
Self Doubt Kills: I have been in a bit of a personal transition since dads been home and since I have been more focused on career and taking care of myself instead of taking care of the things that tend to take my attention. I have been saying no a lot more and been more focused on my goals instead of everyone elses. And I think that fear of letting other people down has been problematic.
I have always had an issue with self doubt in my head. I dont think the problem will ever quite go away. I think a lot of it is I never saw myself as the one pursuing success. I so love what I do at Mud Run Guide, I love what I do at PWF and I am driven to be better. But I always go back to the girl who was a secretary, who had no further vision.
I think that has been the biggest thing, despite coming so far, I will always see the before me. I know who I am, just sometimes I need to remember to embrace the hell out of it.
The thing is, I have had a lot of good help, especially from a few of my "brothers" to realize that I have the talent to take it forward even when I don't see it.
I am getting there, but it will always be my biggest challenge.
I will talk more about running soon, but my plan to just focus on SF and Seattle was a SMART idea. think I am more focused on getting better on what makes sense. I am still pacing (actually pacing one of my faviorte races this weekend.)
More later, just wanted to throw out in the open why I haven't been blogging all that much.
Color Run opens 70 new events.
Dear #WhatHill- I <3 you so #runsea16
Dear #WhatHill-
I am BACK.
You keep trying to beat me down. You keep trying to get me to say you are not worth it.
But you are.
I am back as the returning vet to the 2016 Seattle Marathon Ambassadors. IF you have read my blog for any length oftime; you know this is one of my favorite races. It is also such a challenging course. It is also ran by a group that is dedicated to running a top notch event for runners (even when its 23 or so degrees at the start).
And there is
If you have ran the event you know. It comes right around the mile 8 mark in the half. You turn the corner coming off of the amazing Lake Washington; you are hitting your groove.
And then smack.
It hits you like a ton of bricks.
It goes straight up.
Like a brick wall.
Reminding you that this course is not that easy.
But it is also quite tough.
So Thanksgiving weekend, #Whathill and I get to tango again, and my entire goal is to be ready for it. I was hoping for a PR last year but it did not happen. This year; I want to finish what I started.
And Seattle is the best place to do it.
I am coming for you. This time, it will be mile 18 something as I am running the full and shooting to beat my last dance in Seattle.
And I can't wait.
April Expresso Bike Challenge- It is time for a Dragon!
Excuse me while I celebrate

Race Recap: Hot Chocolate 15K proves to be a wet, cold, challenge
One thing I have had to learn as a pacer.
Sometimes you are going to get wet.
This one I got super wet.
I have always wanted to do the Hot Chocolate Races. Cost and travel made it less then cost effective. When Beast Pacing gave me the opportunity to be able be a pacer for the 15K I jumped all over it.
I got to the expo on Friday and it was small, but really well organized. If you did not have your information you could have a volunteer help look it up for you. Then you picked up your goodie bag which had your race jacket, which is a change from the normal hoodies that they had been doing. There had been a few vendor booths and a chance to purchase race gear.
Sunday morning started with finding my pacing crew and picking up my pacing kit. I have to thank Beast and Ram Racing for the nice shirt and the 2XU compression sleeves.
Bag check was very easy and simple to get through. The volunteers had been eager.
The start line corrals had been between Key Arena and the Armory which made it very narrow but still a well organized system. The only down side is I was pushed almost all away back to the corral behind me.
Now the course. This course is TOUGH. I thought Seattle Marathon was tough, that is actually a walk in the parkcompared to this. You start with a quick run through downtown before you hit the roads behind Pikes Market. This is one sharp down hill and one sharp up hill back to back before you hit the tunnels that take you to Aurora Avenue.
And Aurora itself?
If you live in Seattle you know what this entails. This was a series of up and down hills including a long climb right up after the bridge. I heard some people mention how the elevation map made it look like stairs, it had not been. It was a straight set of hills. I was not ready for how tough that side would be.
The course is well supported even in the pouring down rain. The volunteers went out of their way to encourage the runners and the pacers alike even though it was pouring down rain and windy. (We actually had thunderstorms)
I finished a few seconds back of pace, but still had runners coming up to me thanking me for running and holding my sign which meant a lot. I ran with Marie, who is one of my fellow Skirt Sports Ambassadors and she was truly a difference maker. It was nice to have a pacer with me and we kept each other in line all away through.
I finished and headed for the post race, which consisted of the famous food and chocolate finishers mug. We did not have much of a festival area so I was in and out quickly.
This is a fun race, its well organized and a bit of a challenge. I am actually excited for next year.
@PDXGym: March Expresso Challenge
If you are like me this is the last news you want to see. Because this will hurt.
It is time for Ghost Busters.
Dear @SeattleMarathon- I just can't quit you.
**Note, if you read my ambassador application for Seattle Marathon from last year, you know where this came from. I had to do it in the same vein**
Dear Seattle Marathon-
I just can't quite get over you.
I said I was going to only do you once.
That was 2012. (And you are still my marathon PR)
But I keep coming back for more.Your course is truly spectacular, especially the views of Lake Washington. But it is also challenging (Can we say #whathill?) and makes you push yourself to go harder then you ever have before. I love the tunnels and the constant echos from the runners trying to cheer each other on. I can't get over how amazing it is. It makes me want to keep coming back for more and keep seeing how hard I can push.
Your volunteers are amazing and they really come out to support the runners and make their experiencing better. They truly have an energy that makes you want to run harder and faster.
The expo is always one of the funnest expos to go to every year because it is so well organized, and it allows runners to learn about all the area has to offer without feeling crowded in. Not to mention the fact that I think the goodie bags are always the best every year.
I keep speaking your praises everywhere I go. You know me; and you know how willing I am to use my social media reach to keep telling people how amazing what you do is. I will help when you come down here to spread the Seattle love. I was proud to serve in 2015 and it would be a honor to come back in 2016.
No matter what you decided, I will be back. Because to be blunt, I just can't get over you. I can't get over how much you remind me of how strong I am and how able I am to run.
Much Love
Late night ZRP Musings; I hate the snobs
I did not plan on writing but there is an article going around the running world that makes me ragey.
Dear Patrick at Run Steady-
You make me ragey.
In your article Can't run a marathon under 6 hours? Don't run a marathon. you make it perfectly clear that the marathons are for the elite.
For the record, I am not a 6+ marathon'er. I am in the 5 hour club. (My PR is 5:25 in Seattle). Some of the best and most inspiring people in my life are sub 7's.
I am a former Portland Marathon course marshall. I was always at the cut off point for people to start taking the side walk (the post 6 finishers) and it has not been due to lack of training. If anything they have worked just as hard and there are a lot of marathons that allow them to be able to continue.
Honestly, I think you would be surprised at how many people really there are in the back of the pack. Race directors are seeing this and work
This is the comment that really got to me.
"Agree with most all the points you made. Would love to see more of an effort to protect the sport of marathon. Doing 26.2 at a walking pace cheapens the sport and does not create long term runners or cultivate safe running"
UGHHH! Where do I start?
The whole idea that walking cheapens the sport is ridiculous. I have made it known for years I am a die hard run-walk Galloway method girl. It has helped me stay almost injury free. The sport for us is different. Our sport is to be a better version of ourselves. For me as a pacer to, it is to help and motivate those who want to finish.
It just boggles me that there is so much snobbery out there.
Running is truly a sport for everyone. Not just those who can rack sub 10 min miles all the time. Its for those who want to find their fearless (had to do it, I am a 261 Ambassador), their strength and how amazing they can be.
Short blog. Just wanted to get that off my brain because the more I read the comments.
The more ragey I get.
Random ZRP Musings: "Clean vs. Dirty Eating"
I know I have been lax but the first 45 days of 2016 has been kind of crazy in a good way. We will get to that in a second.
Let me vent.
Part of the reason I have not been blogging is I have been totally inundated with blog posts from other bloggers talking about New Years resolutions, throwing around the "clean eating and anything else is just bad and dirty" or they are posting workouts and then after they are posting meals that are so small and tiny that my brain is sitting here going WTF.
Some of these bloggers are promoting disordered thinking. One example in particular, after a 14 mile run, eating and promoting baby food with a little bit of veggies as post long run meal?
And people flock to them like crazy. It scares me, because I use to look at these people as inspirations. I used to beat myself up if I wasn't on plan. Some of these people are truly eating disorderd and promiting to their readers and it just sends me raging.
Maybe it is just me and the way I was trained, there is a balance. There are some days, screw it. I want a piece of pizza and I go for it. I don't have guilt about it. I know I have a calorie budget and I fit it in. I don't eat the entire pizza, I enjoy a couple slices and a salad. Also being from the NW I really like beer. I don't beat myself up over any of it.
Could I be thinner if I was strictly clean eating? Probably. But my body seems to be perfectly happy where it is at, and more importantly I am happy where it is at.
Also a lot of these people are running insane miles or workout so much that I am asking myself how their body holds up to it?
It goes back to the fact that from the early days I had a trainer teach me about balance. About having faith in myself to make the right decisions and looking at the big picture.
Like I said. Maybe I just don't get it.
And a lot of these people are so over the top on exercise. Doing 10-15 miles every couple days on their run or 2-3 hours at the gym. I know I am committed to my run time, but when I read these I start raging because I know if I did that my body would rebel. My body needs it's rest and rehab just as much as it needs to work out.
It scares me people are encouraged by it.
I just realize how long this blog was…. I will do a part 2 later.

Everything government does to tax paying citizens, it does at the point of a gun. If you support government, you support a gun in your own face. I challenge anyone to name a single county, state, or federal program that does not ultimately derive its funding without the threat of force. Don't like the war?…

"May I suggest if you really want tax harmonization that the commission and the bureaucracy pay the same taxes as the electorate. They bear the same burden as tax as the rest of us before the electorate storm this building and hang us from the rafters as they have every right to do."
