Just this week our blog – Joe Still Runs for Dom turned two years old. Longer than our daughter Landry has been alive. Longer than Dom's cancer battle, longer than a lot of things – much longer than Governor Rick Perry's candidacy for President is sure to last.
Over the last two years we've run a lot of races, 37 actually, crossing finish lines from Austin to Boston, Tempe to Charleston, Denver to New York. Pittsburgh to Wickenburg. We've been fortunate to participate in some large events literally on the world stage and some smaller local events where we were running because it was the "right thing" to do.
To raise awareness and maybe even a little bit of money to help those less fortunate. We tied our shoes just a little bit tighter in those events and thought about how lucky we were to be there just a little bit more than usual. Like my good friend Ashley Kumlein told me the night before the Boston Marathon in 2010, I've tried to run those events, "Like I would never run again."
Well our follow-up race to this year's New York City Marathon will be the 2011 Lights of Love 5K here in Austin on December 2nd.
I will never have participated in a more important event.
Well over a year ago I received a friend request on Daily Mile (similar to a friend request you might receive on Facebook) from a local Austin runner Bea S. We met each other through the athletes website and started to encourage each other on training runs and races.
Coincidentally my wife Dawn knew Bea through church and we were all very surprised when we connected all of the dots to realize just how small the world can be sometimes. Bea and her family have been friends of ours ever since.
A few months ago Bea and her husband welcomed their son Caleb to Austin just a short time after we were blessed with our daughter Landry. Already I was concerned about another man in Landry's life, but Caleb is pretty darned cute and I figured it would only be a matter of time anyway before I was chasing boys off of our porch.
Caleb however was born with some serious health issues. He was born with a congenital condition – imperforate anus. He also has kidney reflux and tethered cord. Long-term serious issues that threaten Caleb's life and development.
Most parents will tell you that all they hope for is a happy, healthy baby – that it is truly a blessing. Seeing the things that Caleb and his family have had to go through so early in his life have illustrated to me just how lucky those of us with healthy children truly are. It is a remarkable gift.
Caleb and his family have been working hard to find help for him and this search led them to Cincinnati where the top rated colorectal surgery team in the world resides. The Smith family stayed in the Ronald McDonald House where the care and support the family needed took care of all of the daily worries for things such as food, shelter, laundry – all free of charge – which allowed the family to focus solely on Caleb and getting him better so they could return home to Texas.
The Ronald McDonald House has been doing this for years and years – providing countless families the support they need at the time when they need it most.
Caleb's family wants to give that same experience back to other families with sick children. As Bea put it:
"It was such a blessing, in your time of greatest need to have a home away from home where they cared for you like family- every family with a sick child should have that. They helped ease the burden, comforted us and encouraged us."
I don't ask for help very often on the blog. I enjoy sharing my passion for running and for life with all of you and whenever someone reaches out to me for training advice, injury help, coaching or a sounding board I am more than willing to give my time, energy or effort freely and without pause.
Today, I'm asking for your help.
I am going to be running as part of "Caleb's Army" on December 2nd – hoping to help the Smith Family raise money for the Ronald McDonald House – the recipient charity for the Lights of Love 5K.
If you can make it out to the event to race, please do so and help make a difference for families like Caleb's.
If you can make a small gift and help me reach my fundraising goal of $250 for the charity – thank you and god bless you. You can click HERE to help or visit:
Landry will also be racing for her (Boy)friend Caleb on the 2nd with a fundraising goal of her own of $100. If you would like to visit Landry's page you can click HERE or visit:
If you can find it in your heart to help, I greatly appreciate your efforts.
On December 2nd we'll be toeing that starting line as part of Caleb's Army and I plan on leaving it all out there. From Staten Island to Caleb's race, I can't think of a better event to return to racing.
Go Caleb!

Besides the danger of mixing vehicles and snowmobiles on the same roadway, the noise level these machines make from their exhaust is higher than allowed for vehicles.
LETTER: Strict rules needed if council allows sleds on city streets
The issue comes up every winter about snowmobiles on city streets.
It seems the snowmobile club in Timmins feels a need for more access to more streets.
If there are no city residential streets that allow snowmobiles to travel on them now, why is it that Wilcox is used regularly every night?
These riders have no respect for others.
They say only certain streets are needed.
They do not adhere to the rules now and they are riding on streets now not authorized.
Besides the danger of mixing vehicles and snowmobiles on the same roadway, the noise level these machines make from their exhaust is higher than allowed for vehicles. You can hear them from three blocks away, gunning their engine, only to get to the next stop sign.
At 10 o'clock at night is not the time to be out on your snowmobile.
One reason they gave is to increase tourism.
That being said, it may help bring in a few out-of-town visitors. Most, I would think, have a vehicle for towing their machines.
If fines are put into the bylaw, we are now creating a safety problem — catch me if you can.
If city hall feels the need for more streets to be used by the snowmobile club, I hope they include their own streets on the list.
Safety should be a main concern. Then why is it so many accidents and deaths happen each winter? It's because of speed.
Here are a few suggestions:
• Their fines should be the same as driving on private property;
• Their machine should be impounded for 14 days minimum to 30 days, and fines must be paid before they are released;
• Only machines with an out-of-town driver and registration should be allowed to travel on the new bylaw streets;
• If out-of-town visitors need a ride to a restaurant or hotel in the downtown, call a cab. They will probably be drinking with supper;
• No children under 19 years of age should be allowed, so they can see over the snowbanks;
• Travelling on streets should be allowed no later than 9 p.m.
Maybe city hall bylaw enforcement officer could provide the local service stations that cater to snowmobilers with a list of streets covered by the bylaw.

There's nothing like a good crisis to call a community together, right? I say this slightly in jest, as no community would ever wish a crisis upon itself. However, it's in those times that a community is forced to respond.
We wonder: Will we be brave or scared? Will we be prophetic or priestly? Will we split or strengthen? Will we hunker down or open up? Will we exclude or include?
The options are hardly ever as binary as this or as the pundits and politicians would have us to believe. The ones whose living depends on the masses, believing that what divides us is more compelling than that which unites, feed on our fear and disorientation.
You name the issue and you'll find a lot of us picking a side, throwing up our blinders, surrounding ourselves with allies, and refusing relationships with those who disagree … until there's a crisis.
Our church rang in the first Monday of 2016 with a bomb threat, forcing the evacuation of 150 kids in our Children's Center and 50 church and center staff. We watched as the police surrounded the place.
The bomb squad suited up in hazmat protection and deployed robotic protection. Local news reporters lined the perimeter. Yellow tape squared our space, creating an island where no one could venture. For hours we had no way of knowing what would happen next.
But then peace began to cover us. Compassionate teachers began to call parents one by one. Church employees rocked babies, and warm renditions of "If You're Happy and You Know It" broke out among the toddlers and preschool children. As parents arrived, the fear in their faces subsided when they spotted their children, calm and cared for. Gratefully, the threat was as empty as the "suspicious package" that started the whole mess.
In days since, I've realized that it may have been a hallmark moment still in its infancy, a marker for the Beloved Community of First Baptist Church of Winston-Salem. Because since then, we have had renewed, honest con-versations with a diverse group of parents about the school of learning we all love.
We've welcomed three law enforcement officers from the Winston-Salem Police Department and two district attorneys to address 100 parents and staff about their follow-up to the incident, knitting citizen and leader together in a season when this relationship is fraught with violence. We've begun thinking again about how our building can be safe but not a fortress, protective but porous.
Our church and Children's Center staff have set aside differences to work seamlessly for the good of the whole. And best of all, it has given us space to share our church's commitment to live as people of love who follow the light of our Prince of Peace.
It's in the chaos of crisis that polarities fall away. In crisis, the truth that we belong together crystallizes and compels us toward one another. We remember again that we are our brother's and sister's keeper.
We are oriented again to the way of love that leaves no one out, regardless of color or ideology or wealth or education or sexuality or gender or voting record. Even if for just a moment, we remember that we are far more alike than we are different, far more humane than cruel, far more together than apart.
That is how a Beloved Community is cultivated by the God who gifts us to one another in relationship.
Crises pass, thankfully. But the fog of fear seeps back in and clouds us from seeing one another as God does: beloved fully, freely, equally and unconditionally. However, we must remember that the unanimity we experience in these moments is real — not an illusion.
The togetherness that swept our nation after 9/11 wasn't just imagined. The way that millions of all types of people gave generously after Hurricane Katrina and mourned deeply after Sandy Hook wasn't a dream. They were our "beloved communities" at their best.
I don't wish a crisis upon anyone. But I do pray for clarity of oneness and fearlessness to invade us for the sake of the gospel and the beloved communities who embody it. NFJ
—Emily Hull McGee is pastor of First Baptist Church on Fifth in Winston-Salem, N.C.

On Thursday 6 April, the London Symphony Orchestra will perform one of Gustav Mahler's lesser-known works, Symphony No 7. We have found out some interesting facts about the piece and composer, so you don't 'Gust'-have to.
Gustav Mahler was born on 7 July 1860 in rural Bohemia (the most Western part of today's Czech Republic). The Mahler family belonged to a German-speaking minority among Bohemians, and were also Jewish. Growing up in this environment, the young composer developed a sense of exile early in his life.
'I am three times homeless, a native of Bohemia in Austria, an Austrian among Germans and a Jew throughout the world.'
When he was four years old, Mahler found his grandparents' piano andimmediately fell in love with playing. The town in which they lived had a thriving musical presence. Mahler was surrounded by street songs, dance tunes, folk melodies and trumpet calls of the local military band as a young child. This would all later contribute to Mahler's mature musical vocabulary. He developed his performing skills sufficiently to be considered a local 'Wunderkind' (child prodigy) and gave his first public performance when he was just ten years old.
Mahler's father, Bernhard, agreed to let Gustav audition for the Vienna Conservatory in 1875. He was accepted and continued to progress with his piano studies throughout his time there. In his final year, he decided to concentrate on composition and harmony; unfortunately, few of his student compositions have survived due to his dissatisfaction with them.
Symphony No 7 was written over the course of just a few months, albeit with a year's gap between the first and second sitting. Immediately after finishing his Sixth Symphony in 1904, he sketched the second and fourth movements of the Seventh. He then completed the first, third and fifth movements in just four weeks in Maiernigg, Mahler's summer home, the following summer. The piece premiered in Prague with the Czech Philharmonic on 19 September 1908.
The Seventh includes interesting orchestration, similar to some of Mahler's other symphonies (particularly his Fifth and Sixth). The scoring in this work uses a tenor horn, cowbells, mandolin and guitar.
The overall meaning of the symphony is something that has baffled analysts and musicologists. There is evidence to suggest that the original optimism and cheerfulness of the symphony was subsequently lessened by small but significant revisions Mahler made in the years leading up to its premiere. This could be linked to events such as Mahler's daughter Maria dying of scarlet fever in 1907 and Mahler himself learning that he had an incurable heart condition.
The Seventh is widely considered to be the weakest of the Mahler symphonies, though many conductors have expressed their frustration with performing the piece. Former LSO Principal Conductor Valery Gergiev commented in Gramophone magazine:
'Conducting Mahler's Symphony No 7 was for me the scariest project of them all. It has a strange, unusual shape, it is more about working with light and shadow and different levels of power. It is about maintaining a sense of direction, line and proportion. If it were just a question of technique, there would have been hundreds of successful interpretations of this music.'
After his death, Mahler's work went largely unacknowledged. It took years for the musical community to recognise his influence. He is now regarded as one of the most influential composers of the 20th century, particularly because of his use of progressive tonality - an approach that was misunderstood and rejected by many of his contemporaries.
Mahler however, had become accepting of this kind of behaviour, having experienced the same prejudice and discrimination as a child. Nevertheless, his optimism continued to shine through. As he liked to say,
'My time will yet come.'
The London Symphony Orchestra will perform Gustav Mahler's Symphony No 7 on Thursday 6 April as part of the Janine Jansen Artist Portrait series. The concert will be conducted by Gianandrea Noseda at the Barbican Hall.
A concert that will be simply 'Mah'-vellous.

Four years ago, Skylar's sister, Piper, was locked away after leading sixteen of her classmates to a watery grave. Since then, Skylar has lived in a numb haze, struggling to forget her past and dull the pain of losing her sister. But the secrets and memories Piper left behind keep taunting Skylar—whispering that the only way to get her sister back is to stop Gardnerville's murderous cycle once and for all.

As Miles feels his world closing around him, he struggles to keep it open, but what you think you know about his world is actually a blur of gray, and the sharp focus of reality proves startling.
Sway by Kat Spears
High school senior Jesse Alderman, or "Sway," as he's known, could sell hell to a bishop. He also specializes in getting things people want—term papers, a date with the prom queen, fake IDs. He has few close friends and he never EVER lets emotions get in the way. For Jesse, life is simply a series of business transactions.
But when Ken Foster, captain of the football team, leading candidate for homecoming king, and all-around jerk, hires Jesse to help him win the heart of the angelic Bridget Smalley, Jesse finds himself feeling all sorts of things. While following Bridget and learning the intimate details of her life, he falls helplessly in love for the very first time. He also finds himself in an accidental friendship with Bridget's belligerent and self-pitying younger brother who has cerebral palsy. Suddenly, Jesse is visiting old folks at a nursing home in order to run into Bridget, and offering his time to help the less fortunate, all the while developing a bond with this young man who idolizes him. Could the tin man really have a heart after all?

Forbidden Kill Strikes
In the popular imagination, a "black belt" is a martial-arts master. In reality, not all black belts are masters and not all arts use colored belts - or have any ranking system. Even in styles that use belts, the black belt doesn't mark the end of instruction: a black-belt student has mastered the basics and is ready for true apprenticeship. If his style is combative, he might be extremely tough. If his style is artistic, he might be less capable in a fight than the average brawler!
A widespread origin myth for the black belt suggests that a novice received a white belt. When he had learned enough to be deemed a master, the belt would be so dirty that it was black. This is at best unverifiable.
What is verifiable is that today's familiar colored-belt system was invented for Judo (p. 166) by founder Jigoro Kano. The rankings in that system were: white (6th through 4th kyu), brown (3rd through 1st kyu), black (1st through 5th dan), red-and-white (6th through 8th dan), and solid red (9th and 10th dan). Later, 10th dan was changed to white. The rankings didn't stop at 10 th dan, but no one was ever promoted higher. In this system, one says the ranking's number first, then its name; for instance, 4th kyu is yonkyu and 4th dan is yondan. In English, "dan" becomes "degree"; e.g., a 10th dan is a "10th-degree black belt." Kyu rankings are usually known only by color.
When Te (pp. 169-170) came to Japan and became Karate, it adopted Judo's ranking system. Funakoshi Gichin created the first karate-do black belts in 1924. Today, Karate (pp. 169-172) and Tae Kwon Do (p. 200) use similar systems, but with 10 kyu ranks and 10 dan ranks; belt colors vary considerably. Kendo (p. 175) doesn't use belts, but has eight kyu and eight dan ranks. Chinese systems use sashes instead of belts, and the top color is red or gold. The only generalization one can make about other Asian styles is that the top and bottom ranks are black and white - usually. Outside Asia, sport styles typically have ranking systems based on belts or colored patches (e.g., Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and sport Sambo), fighting record (e.g., Boxing, Wrestling, and mixed martial arts), or a combination of the two (e.g., Savate).
Things were quite different before modern times. In the Japanese arts, instructors in each ryu issued teaching certificates, awarding grades that denoted how advanced and respected the teacher was. The chosen head of the ryu held the highest rank. Chinese martial arts used a similar system, with a letter from an instructor testifying to his student's skill. In historical Europe, the Masters of Defence (p. 17) had a grading system similar to that of trade guilds: "apprentice," "journeyman," and finally "master." A would-be master had to acquit himself with any combination of weapons in a public test by other masters.
A great many historical and modern arts have no formal ranking system. Each school ranks its students by seniority. Instructors either receive teaching permission from their peers on an ad hoc basis or are entirely self-proclaimed.
Kyokushin attracted many students at its inception and is still widely taught today. Its full-contact sparring and tournaments, emphasis on tameshiwari competitions, and strenuous belt tests are well-known in martial-arts circles. These things have made the style famous for producing tough, contest-hardened martial artists. Kyokushin schools are found worldwide.

This past week I finally crossed off an item that has been on my to do list for the last few weeks – filing our federal and state taxes. You'd think that someone who writes about personal finance would file their taxes sooner, but like most of you, life tends to distract me from submitting them as soon as I'd like.
Besides our second child arriving, being self-employed, I also had to knock out a few assignments during my maternity leave. Juggling the new routine has been harder than I imagined (so thankful grandmothers came to help us!) so I haven't had much time to sit down get it done.
Stop Procrastinating and Knock Out Your Taxes
The best solution I've found when dealing with our taxes is to tackle it step by step. It helps me avoid putting it off until the last minute.
Set Up a Deadline
Taxes are due April 15, but you can do yourself a huge favor by picking an earlier deadline. It'll give you a buffer so you don't have to hurry through the paperwork and stress over missing a tax deduction or tax credit you deserve.
I decided I wanted to get it done before the end of this month because I felt that once I was back to working on my new regular schedule it would be easier for me to set it aside and forget about it.
Tackle Your Taxes Bit By Bit
The idea of getting taxes done can be intimidating and overwhelming for many people. If that's you, go ahead and try to break things up so you only have to work on it for no more than 20 minutes at a time.
As our financial and tax documents came in through the mail, I collected them into a folder. Once everything was in I then logged into my TurboTax account and entered information in a section or two, pulling out the necessary paperwork. Before I finished the session I made sure I saved my work. TurboTax makes it easy to prepare your taxes since it ask you simple questions and does all the calculations.
Review and Submit
Give yourself some peace of mind by giving your filing another check before you send it in. It should only take a few extra minutes of your time. That's what I did with our taxes.
As I completed each section, I reviewed my tax documents to make sure everything was entered correctly and then submitted our taxes online. Our federal and state filing were accepted quickly. Now all we have to do is wait and see the status of our tax refund.
Thoughts on Getting Taxes Done
I'm curious to see where everyone is at with their own taxes. How many of you have already filed your taxes? How many of you are planning on submitting them soon?

"Dear Mr. Hasnul aka ayah angkat NMT
Before I start this, I wanna tell you thank you for showering us(New Media Students) love of a father. Sincerely from me I have never seen a lecture or even a teacher who's so dedicated and love his students without seeing color of their skin. You're truly and awesome human being. I really admire that strength in you. I don't know about others but I still love your teaching and activities in class even if you're strict. Maybe this is just apart of your strictness, haven't see the real you 🤪.
I love the way you love your two daughters (Every girl is always a Princess to her father). They are very bless to have a father like you. When I read your blog about your daughter, Oh My God I really felt that love.
I never really got a father's love in my life even when I was a kid, but sometimes I really can feel that through you in our class. You're truly amazing ayah. Not only that but also your love towards your Hero too. 😇
I'm so much appreciated the special attention you have given to our class. Thank you for not making us learn the way others wanted to teach, but teaching us the way we need to learn. You always get angry in class (obviously for our mistakes) but end of the day you made us laugh before you leave.
Not dragging much... Thank you for your ilmu. Thank you for teaching me. I may never do your work as good as you wanted but I learn something and I will keep doing my best in all my other assignments.
I'm really sorry if I have ever been an irresponsible student or if i have done any mistakes during your class.🌻🌻
Thank you for the marks given for the assignments. I accept it and I will improve in the future. 😊"

Taylor Swift Is Queen Of Forbes' Annual Highest Paid Celebrities List
In an event that's rather unsurprising, Taylor Swift topped Forbes' annual list of highest paid celebrities. According to The Associated Press, the singer raked in a whopping $170 million this year, which is more than double the earnings of fellow pop star top-earners.
Swift had a big year. Her 1989 world tour grossed $200 million alone. Pepper in exclusive ad campaigns with Apple Music and the fact that 1989 is the fastest selling album in over 10 years, and that's a pretty hefty paycheck. Kind of makes all the heartbreak worth it. Right, Taylor?
Swift's earnings are enormous compared to her peers. Adele, who ranked at number nine, brought in $80.5 million; Madonna ranked in at number 12 with $76.5 million; and Rihanna, who was number 13, pulled in $75 million. Katy Perry, who's last album Prism was released in 2013, only pulled in a measly $41 million (though, we'd still take it!).
The top ten earners were a spattering of media giants, bands and actors. One Direction fell just below Swift at number two with $110 million in earnings (though that's split among all members, which kind of feels like cheating). Comedian Kevin Hart beat Adele and landed at number six with $87.5 million, and Howard Stern somehow still pulled in $85 million.
It should also be noted that even though Kim Kardashian graced the cover of Forbes' issue, and her family seems to be in the press just as much — if not more than — Taylor Swift, she only brought in $41 million. An alleged 40 percent of her earnings were from her mobile app. Who really cares though when your husband is Kanye?
Perhaps the most interesting part of this list is the fact that Swiftie's ex Calvin Harris also made the top 100. Harris pulled in $63 million landing him at number 21. Do you think he's a little jealous?
At the time of this writing, there's no word on how much Meredith or Olivia Benson pulled in, but we're guessing they're sitting like pretty kitties off Taylor's income.

WEEI mid-day flash guy Jon Wallach leads off the approval ratings for this week.
Wallach does the sports flashes for the Dale & Holley show, during which he takes a lot of ribbing from Michael Holley, especially when he makes a mistake during a flash. (Triggering the "Everybody drink!" soundbite.) Holley also likes to call him "Jon Wallace" as a joke.
Wallach has also been used as a host at the station, doing weekend shows, and the occasional fill-in during the Dale & Holley show when one of the hosts is out. Oftentimes when Pete Sheppard fills in as host of the Big Show, Wallach will do a double shift, doing the flashes for both shows.

Now, my memories of dangerous dreams seem prescient. But who would have believed me? Perhaps there is a role for me to play in this after all, because I feel like I've been awake and hiding, for too long. It's time to come out of the closet and shut the door behind us.
It seems that my deep breathing and cold shower routine is cleaning up my colours. References: Wim Hof (aka The Ice Man) would no doubt agree! 👍 Peace out Hippies 😍😎🤗

A number of people who are self-made millionaires and billionaires had a humble beginning.
Quite a number of wealthy people today were born into nothing, they lived like most of us do until their hard work paid off and got them making the millions we now envy.
Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates and others were not born into families with generational wealth but they have ended up creating their own.
In Ghana, people including Osei Kwame Despite, Papa Kwesi Nduom, Kofi Wayo, Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka and others also went through humble beginnings and now live a life of luxury.
They didn't live in posh homes, some of them even started raising their own children in less privileged environment.

Today, we go back 49 years ago to the residence in Accra Newtown that is the first apartment rented by Apostle Kwadwo Safo as a young man building a family and what has now become a business empire.
The house is a normal compound house apartment. The landlords lived on the same compound with other tenants.
It is basically like one of those compound house apartments that is normally featured in a Kumawood movie.
Inside the room is the first furniture the Apostle made himself for his family.
This is the home where the now MP for Dome Kwabenya Constituency, Sarah Adwoa Safo was born.
Her baby cot that was made of metal is still kept in the very room.
Today, the Safo family is known as one of the elite families in the country.
They live a life of luxury but as we have come to know, their father, the patriarch of the family had a humble beginning and even lawyer Adowa Safo wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth as many would have believed.
She was born into a much less life of priviledge than what the current Safo kids are enjoying.
Till this day, Apostle Kwadwo Safo still keeps the apartment he first rented, mostly to serve as a reminder of how far he has journeyed in life.
It is also serving as a place that is pilgrimed to by the members of the Kristo Safo church who want to know more about the man who founded their church and has become a father figure to most if not all of them.
Watch this video for more about the house that Apostle Kwadwo Safo first rented in 1970 in Accra.
A person's circumstance change based on their own determination.
