The next in line of Dana's inspirations! Hope she pops by and tells us a little bit of history!
UPDATE! Dana is in the midst of her blogathon and has just posted a whole lotta great info about Dana Perry so now I can link it and you can read all about it!
Today's miles: 4.1
Total so far: 157.6
Still to go for goal: 342.4
I started out the day with a haircut! Call me Shorty McShortShort! I Lurrrrrrrrrves it! It is cool and easy. Then I changed into my running shoes and a cooler (and hairless) shirt.
Today I ran in the old hometown again. I started out walking at the folks' house, and took off up the hill and into a different cemetary. I stopped briefly at an old schoolmate's gravesite where he is buried side by side with his brother. Scott was killed in a tragic car accident on the day he and his friends were celebrating his eighteenth birthday. His brother took his own life a few years later. Very sad. Then I noticed a funeral a little distance away and respectfully moved my feet out of there.
I moved past the park from the recent party for Kel and had grins and chuckles all the way past.
As I reached the corner, I saw a car at the intersection with a grinning and familiar face in the driver's seat but with my headphones in, didn't realize what she was saying until she had drivin away and simply waved my arm off at my hairstylist ("Nice haircut!").
That's when I started running and was moving along really well using music for the first time. I think I'm going to have to get me one of the new cheaper MP3's. I see Apple is coming out with a cheaper iPod that I might have to
save up for beg the Easter Bunny for ask for this Christmas. Anyway, I was listening to my Best of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers CD which is just long enough and just rockin enough to keep me moving.
I decided to run down Gray Street for kicks and some old neighbors were outside, including a gal I grew up with. She was a kick-ass bike rider. We'd have races around the block on our banana seat bikes and nobody could beat her. Her kids were there today, too. I stopped and chatted with all of them and met the kids and told them how awesome their mom was on that bike. They laughed. I don't think they could picture it. Finally I took off again. Good thing I had the music. I'm not sure I could have restarted after that cool down!
I had an incredibly difficult hill to run up at one point. Ended up having to walk half of it. Some day I'll rerun that route and kick that hill's butt. When I'm in better shape. Just watch me.
Going to shower now. And drink. Lots. At least the humidity has released its grip. We had some nice storms move through last night and cool things down a bit. Going to post some more photos from Kel's party later. There are some fun ones that never got up. And still a Q4H to come!

I recently traveled to Japan and took a cellphone that I rented from http://www.travelcell.com. I was given this tip by the tour operator. You are sent a cellphone in a mailer for the country you are visiting; you return it when you get home. It determines what you owe. You don't need to worry about connections, SIM cards, etc. The phone comes with clear directions.

Benjamin Franklinstein Meets The Fright Brothers By Matthew McElligott and Larry Tuxbury
The second book in a series by Matthew McElligott and Larry Tuxburg, Benjamin Fraklinstein Meets The Fright Brothers is a fun science fiction chapter book that keeps kids engaged in through its adventure, scientific facts, and historical fiction.
Victor Godwin has been trying to help Ben Franklin adjust to 21st century life after being in suspended animation for over two-hundred years. Victor, a young boy with promising potential to be a scientist, is helped by his friend Scott. Giant planes shaped like bats have been wreaking havoc on the city of Philadelphia. Victor, Scott, and Ben trace these attacks back to the bicycle shop owners, the Wright Brothers. However, they are now vampires.
Along with tackling historical issues such as Ben's understanding of a women being mayor, we get to see a young boy trying to bring an individual from the past into the present. The book is skillfully illustrated with numerous diagrams of such things as the plans for the 1903 Wright Flyer and Benjamin Franklin's Kite Experiment.
I believe that boys in fourth and fifth grade would love this book, but I can also see a lot of girls being interested too. The book is rich with social studies and science. What a great book for an interdisciplinary unit!

Exit polls in the Romanian Presidential Election are pointing to narrrow victory for left wing challenger Mircea Geoana – but incumbent president Traian Basescu is also claiming a win in the hotly contested vote.
Romanian Presidential poll is too close to call
Now Reading:
Romanian Presidential poll is too close to call
Initial estimations give Geoana 50.8 per cent of the vote, as against 49.2 for Bazescu. The margin for error in the exit polls is around 5 per cent, so this is too close to call. "Together with the leader of the Liberals, we are committed to putting an end to the political crisis. In a few days we will have a government supported by a powerful majority, with a powerful programme and with an authentic project to fight against the crisis." But Bazescu too claimed victory saying the exit polls were a media manipulation and promising that in the coming days he would be announced as winner. "This election victory is due to the votes of the Romanian people. More than 5 million Romanian people have taken the clear choice of the road towards modernisation, a road which is necessary if Romanians are to achieve prosperity." It had been hoped that this poll would clear the political air in Romania and enable the country to move forward to tackle the economic problems it faces. Instead it appears that a new round of political infighting has only just begun.

Giving something back
Aves Uruguay, one of the country's NGOs, puts on monthly birdwatching trips © Agustin Esmoris, Shutterstock
As a fairly prosperous and peaceful country with no massive inequality of income, Uruguay is not an obvious target for charities and volunteers. Nevertheless, there are things you can do if you want your stay in the country to be a positive exchange. For example, you could also support two conservation NGOs, to be found in Montevideo's Catholic Centre (Canelones 1198 & Gutiérrez Ruiz), although they don't have much need for foreign volunteers. Vida Silvestre puts on a monthly excursion open to all – a two/three-day hiking and camping trip, as a rule, with a guide and six to ten participants, to explore some wild area and observe nature. Aves Uruguay also puts on a monthly trip, focused more on birdwatching, of course.

I am so sorry for the lack of blogging and updates. The Internet has been down on the compound for 10 days now so my only option is to go into town to use the Internet cafes where I have to pay by the minute. My main priority during those times is to inform my family that I'm still alive and well and update my facebook status, of course.
But now, I'm prepared to spend a little bit of money to inform you all of what's been going on during the last few weeks.
Our work with the Shimo girls is going great. They are an absolute joy to be around and their work ethic is phenomenal. They are making up to five bags each time they meet with us and that is more than we expected, which is incredible! They have improved so much and I can tell they are proud of what they are accomplishing. I only wish I could have more time with them.
Happy Valentine's Day! This morning I made french toast for the guys and was surprised with a bouquet of roses. It was much more than I expected and I was very thankful. As I was sitting outside on the patio, I remembered where I was this time last year. It was the lowest point in my life. I was saddened by the thought at first but then I recalled how much has changed since then. I am no longer at a low point. I am in an extremely happy time in my life! I am surrounded by incredible people who care about me as much as I care about them. I am doing what my heart loves to do and I am following God's will for my life! Could I really ask for a better way to celebrate today? Nope!
One of the highlights of my week is going to HBF every Saturday. Last week I had to opportunity to go with some of the children to the hospital for some routine check ups. Lillian and Lyna were due for an HIV test, Patrick's nose was hurting him and Valentine needed to have her eye checked on following a surgery she had on it a few months ago. Mark (a Kenyan that lives on the compound and works for TI) went with Patrick and Valentine and I took Lillian and Lyna with me to the HIV section. The hospital is a strange place. On a large board hanging on the outside wall it lists the services the hospital provides, how much it will cost and how long you will have to wait. For one service the waiting time was 30 minutes - two weeks. Yikes. The lines are long... very long. I waited with Lillian and Lyna as long as I could until I had to leave to meet with the Shimo girls at 1. They had an auntie with them so I wasn't leaving them alone. Mark did not get back to the compound until around 5:00 that evening. It is a whole day event. It was hard sitting in the waiting area. Although I relished the time I got to spend with the girls alone, without 20 other children running around, I wish it could have been better circumstances. The girls rested their heads on me and held my hands as we waited with about 40 others, all most likely HIV positive. It was an odd feeling, being surrounded by men, women and children with a fatal, incurable disease. With my hands on the girls, I prayed for healing for Lillian and for Lyna's miracle to continue. Lyna was HIV positive when TI first brought her into the children's home. A little while later, tests revealed she was HIV negative. An impossible occurrence by anything other than God's power. I have not heard what the results of either test were, but I have faith that God will continue to do amazing works in these children.
I wish I could fully explain how incredible it has been having Faith here with me. We have been meeting every other day and studying the book of John, as well as going through Exodus with the whole group. Her wisdom and encouragement have been more than I could ever ask for and I am truly thankful to God for putting her in my life.
Tonight, I'm leaving Kitale on the night bus to Nairobi. From there I'll get on another bus and be on my way to Meru. After spending the night in Meru, I'll leave early in the morning for Tharaka. In a small, hillside village in central Kenya I'll get to meet Jackson, a six year old boy I've been sponsoring through Compassion International for the past year and a half. It was through Jackson that God initially placed Kenya on my heart. I am overjoyed to finally meet this little boy who changed my life.
I have become more aware of what God has planned for me since arriving in Kenya. I realize that my goals and dreams are not the same as most of my friends. I understand now that my life will not look like I had originally thought it would. It was a surprise to me when my thought process brought me to a place I had never expected. Of course, I am living my life one day at a time and would never try to get ahead of God. I am just now beginning to hear answers to some of my prayers. Although I do not know the ultimate plan of God's will, I am ready to take the next step on my journey. I have no plans of my own, which leaves plenty of room for Him to work and I am more than willing to let Him. My life will not be the life I had wanted for myself when I was in high school and someone asked me "where do you see yourself in ten years?" It will be better. Much better. I am living for Jesus now.

text: I am busy doing some scrapebox work, to get some of the seonuke work I did over the last work off to a good start, I just spam the heck out of my Tier 2 links. So I was busy preparing my list of blogs, to maximize my blast, I ususally trim my list to the root url and then I do a few things to find all the other pages that is posted on the particular site. I thought that if one page is open to comment then most or all the other pages should also be open to post my comments on. I am wrong. I fount multile instances where people seem to be opening their pages on purpose, posting, using wordpress. The spammers come in and spam the heck out of the page. Then I see a custom page, not from the same wordpress instance where there are no comments. This is strange, is this a strategy where the webmaster is actually "fishing" for a lazy spammer to build some type of link network and then when this happens he gets a high PR backlink. Is this possible, or should I stick to drinking beer on Saturdays rather than using scrapebox?

The last three days of bible readings have been about perseverence which have been apt as I have been thinking that I will not be able to continue with my PhD due to being ill for over a month. ' We will reap a harvest if we do not give up'. Galatians 6:9 NIV. Perseverence means stopping not because you're tired, but because the task is done. I am only three months into the studentship as well! I'm just hoping that my supervisors will understand next week when I see them for supervision.
Yesterday I went to Tesco and did a huge shop- my first one since December 22nd. Charlie and I watched Dances with Wolves in the afternoon. What an epic! I hadn't seen it before and I cried in several places. I took Harry to his friend's in the afternoon. They were going to see Aladdin for his friend's birthday treat and then have a sleep over. I dropped Charlie off in town to meet his mates and Rosie had her friend round.
Today has been spent cleaning upstairs and taking down some of the Christmas decs. Graham took Rosie and Harry to play badminton and Charlie is catching up on about three months worth of homework. A friend called round for coffee this morning. She only found out about our neighbour yesterday and is also really shocked. Her school friend died from pneumonia aged 43 years two weeks ago and the funeral is the day before our neighbour's. So many people are mourning and I pray they will draw on Christ's strength and biblical promises to help them i.e psalm 23.
It is still so cold with temperatures around freezing. Graham played golf first thing this morning and it was -6 degrees c

We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with ' window repair'. If you still can't find what you are looking for, try using the search box.
If you drive around the Twin Cities, you'll notice vehicles with various levels of tint on the window. Tint is ideal for reducing UV rays and heat that can turn a car into an oven. If you place tint over a broken window, however, you're wasting your time and money on the job. Before you tint your windows, bring your car to Only 1 Auto for a complete glass inspection and auto glass repair. We can restore any window in your car, truck, or SUV.
Road noise is irritating. There are several causes of road noise. For instance, a car's design, the type of tires on the vehicle, or exterior conditions like road material and traffic congestion can also cause road noise. A loose windshield or side door window can allow inside the car at high speeds. The air will often seep through and cause a lot of noise as the car's velocity forces the air into the vehicle cabin. If you feel that your windows are the cause of the road noise, bring your vehicle to Only 1 Auto Glass for an inspection and auto glass repair. We may discover one of the three problems below.
We'll be honest. We pity any car that is in the hands of a teenager. While it's true that teenagers need to time to improve their driving skills, the growing pains can be costly and critical at times. Most teens do not understand how correctly operating a vehicle keeps it in condition. Like everything else, making the connection between the two takes a little time. In the meantime, we repair a lot of windshields in cars driven by teenagers. Thankfully, our certified team of auto glass repair technicians can perform a windshield repair or windshield replacement when something happens to your vehicle.
It is not uncommon to find broken car windows covered in plastic in Minneapolis. Motorists will often do this if they do not have either the time or the money to get auto glass repair. There are several problems involved with using plastic to protect your car. Some of the risks can be dangerous. We discuss a few of these risks below.
No one wants to walk outside and see that one of the windows on their car has been broken. Regardless of how it happened, you need to get it cleaned up and repaired. Here are the steps you should follow after your car window has been broken.
There are a number of ways that you can get chips in your auto glass. The most common way is a rock flying up and hitting your windshield. But kids may also be playing with toys and hit your car or a stray bb pellet from a bb gun may hit your window. Regardless of how it got there, you may find yourself wondering if this new chip in the glass can be repaired. Here are a few of the factors that you need to take into account when determining whether a chip in auto glass can be repaired.
Rocks and other foreign debris can cause damage to your windshield. The impact of something that hits your windshield can leave behind chips, cracks or can even shatter your windshield. If your windshield has been damaged, you may be curious as to how a windshield is repaired. Here are the three common methods used for windshield glass repair.
Auto glass technicians need to be trained in order to correctly repair and install auto glass. This may leave you wondering what types of training they undergo and how they learn to do their job. Here is some information on the training and certification programs auto glass repair technicians undergo before they begin to work on your car.
When you are looking for an auto glass repair shop to repair your auto glass, you will find that companies use a variety of techniques to obtain the glass. Some companies buy the auto glass directly from the manufacturer. Some companies buy auto glass from third parties who manufacture it and other companies manufacture their own auto glass. There are advantages and disadvantages to each method of obtaining the glass. Taking the time to learn about some of these pros and cons and getting answers to the questions you have will help you decide which is right for your auto glass needs. Here are a few of the questions you may have about using a company that manufacturers their own auto glass and the answers.
After a window on your car is broken, outside elements can enter your car. This includes things like pests or rain and snow. It also makes it easier for a thief to steal something from your car or gain access to steal your car. In a perfect world, you could take your car to an auto glass repair shop and have the glass repaired right away. However, you may not have the money or your car may have glass that needs to be ordered or custom made, meaning it takes time to get the glass to make the repair. If your glass has been broken in your car, follow these steps to secure the car and keep outdoor elements out until the glass can be repaired.

I just watched the first semifinals for the women's 100m butterfly. Right before they cut away to a commercial, I heard the music they were playing over the PA system in the Water Cube. The song was Girls' Generation by 소녀시대, which translates to Girls' Generation. I guess it's kind of appropriate.

Story and characters © Jason Cassee 2009
Thadeaus Eugene Glick III can't believe his luck this day, but then Thad is in disbelief much of the time. Thick and solidly built, his bowler is pulled low over heavy brows and dark intimidating eyes. Thad arrived at an empty trolley stop, a first for him, which almost certainly assures him of a seat this time. Smiling, he savors this small victory, one that makes the extra 3 blocks to this spot –a stop before his typical boarding – well worth the effort. He chuckles to himself almost gleefully, rubbing his hands together and shifting his feet in the chill morning air…
Birgitte Espinoza, known as Bess to her friends, is distracted by her aching left knee. She can't think of anything else as she slowly makes her way up a short side street toward the trolley stop. She mutters to herself as she works her way forward, one painful step at a time. "Why does it have to hurt this much today?" she mutters. "Today, of all days."
It's late fall, 1978 and Newt sits in a half-empty classroom on a dreary, stormy day. Half empty because Miss Jenny is out again with early morning sickness. And made doubly dreary as he and his fellow students are subjected to the grainy movie that is showing on the tattered sheet hung over the green, flaking chalk board.
As bad as this is, the real miracle was that the movie is showing at all. If Newt hadn't been able to get the finicky projector working, the kids would now be hunched over their science textbooks for the umpteenth time this month. But after 10 minutes separating frayed power cord wires, the film is now clacking its way over the reels and, blessedly, there is something more to do than sit and read once again.
Miss Jenny has been out so often that much of the class now finds other things to do during third period. And nobody seems to notice, or much less care. This morning is just another example. No substitute has been found and fifteen minutes ago old Miss Johnson, the school secretary, made a most cursory stop by the room to inform the few students left that they should again pull out their books. That is, unless someone is "industrious enough to get this going" she challenged while dropping the dented, steel film disk on the table.
So now Newt is shifting between watching the old black and white piece - something about electricity - and peering dejectedly at the drenching downpour outside. Nearly despondent, he finds himself wondering, "What am I going to do?" Of course, things now take a turn for the worse.
"That looks like Newt."
Newt turns back to the screen to see lightning flashing behind a lumbering, monstrous figure stumbled towards him on the screen. Likely, it is a cut-scene used to illustrate some basic electrical principle, but the figure on the screen breaks the somber mood like a clanging bell.
From behind him, the snickering grows louder. The girl to Newt's left turns from the screen, squints at him over round, rimmed glasses and laughs shrilly. "It really does look like you," she confirms.
From the group at the back he hears Billie Heaton yell "Hey, Newtonstein. I didn't know you were a movie star. Can I have your autograph?" And he rises from behind his desk and plods forward, arm stretched in front of him mimicking the visage on the screen.
"Newtonstein. Newtonstein." rings, jeeringly around the classroom.
Newt flushes crimson and finds he is unable to speak. Sobbing, he stumbles from his chair, trips over a leg and staggers for a few steps. The lurching and stumbling only reinforce the connection to the image just witnessed and brings a fresh fit of laughter and jeering.
Without stopping for his books or coat Newt runs for the door followed amidst the din. Jerking the knob toward him his shaking fingers slip and he thumps to the floor prompting another wave of laughter. Tears stream down his face as regains his feet and quickly escapes into the hallway.
To be continued...
Cheers! - Jason

Blogvent Day 6 – Lethal Weapon (1987,USA)
Director: Richard Donner Starring: Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Gary Busey
Having resolved my technical difficulties I can now bring you the sixth entry in the Blogvent series, a film I had intended to unveil on Day 2 before my plans were forced to change due to some disc damage that stopped it from playing. All that has since been dealt with and so with great pleasure and without further ado I proudly present Lethal Weapon as my sixth Christmas film this December and unlike the other Shane Black yuletide actioner I have already mentioned (The Last Boy Scout), this one is overtly festive.
Just in case you've never seen it, Lethal Weapon is the fist installment of what would become a four film franchise following two L.A.P.D. detectives, Roger Murtaugh (Glover) and Martin Riggs (Gibson) as they get into various scrapes and sticky situations as they go about their business protecting and serving. Murtaugh, having just turned fifty, feels over the hill and under pressure to prove he still has what it takes. Riggs is a volatile loose cannon, psychologically scarred from his experiences as a special forces sniper in Vietnam and suicidal after the death of his wife in a car accident. Thrown together when their Captain forces them to be partners, they find themselves drawn into a conspiracy during the investigation of the murder of a young woman, the daughter of an old friend of Murtaugh's.
I'm not sure what it is about the action movies of the late eighties (see also Die Hard or perhaps Predator) but they seem to have defined the genre and really represent the zenith of the action movie arc. It certainly does no harm that Lethal Weapon is written by Shane Black, a man who seems to have tapped into the source of platonic male relationships in a way Kathryn Bigelow can only dream of and has a wonderful ear for one liners and wise cracks that keeps his movies fun no matter how dark the moment. I'm a little too young I think to fully appreciate how original (if at all) a film like Lethal Weapon was when it first arrived on the scene but I can vouch for the fact that it has influenced the genre massively ever since in much the same way as Die Hard did. It's easy to see why.
Glover and Gibson are phenomenal in the lead roles, the chemistry between them, even early on when they are both suspicious of each other is perfect, natural even and you have no trouble accepting the lengths they are prepared to go to for each other even though they have only really just met. There can be little doubt that Gibson's Mad Max channeling, uber-intense Riggs was his breakthrough moment, securing his place in the pantheon of Hollywood giants and the film serves as a reminder of the Gibson we all knew and loved before he turned into the troubled megastar he is now. Glover is his straight man in the film, understated, mature and far less intense, his presence sometimes the soothing influence, sometimes the calm before the storm.
The contrast between the two main characters is typical Black, Murtaugh the contented family man versus Riggs the despairing loner and the disparity is what provides the tension in their relationship that the film draws its energy from. I suspect that this is why the film is set at Christmas time, what better why to emphasise this difference? Of course the film is redemptive, Murtaugh accepting Riggs into his family home, offering him the lifeline he needs to step back from the brink of self destruction. Then again maybe the whole Christmas thing is just an opportunity for a shootout in a Christmas tree lot, some snappy "Merry Christmas" type comments from Riggs and the opportunity for a fist fight to careen through a fully decorated Christmas tree. To be honest it succeeds on both fronts, so the motivation isn't really important. What is important is the execution, which is pitch perfect.
It's a lively film, wonderfully paced even in it's quieter, more contemplative moments it never feels like it's dragging. The director's cut of the film (which this was) does offer a few extra minutes of broadly unnecessary material but it's still good fun and doesn't do any damage even if it seems a little bit unnecessary. The action set pieces are very well executed (there is one exception – a spectacularly poorly matched up stunt man to main performer moment when Riggs is hit by a car) and are actually pretty varied, increasing in intensity as the film steamrollers along to its inevitable but entirely satisfying conclusion. There are, admittedly, some moments that feel a little underdone, particularly a fight scene between Riggs and one of the bad guys which is a stylised blur, presumably in an attempt to conceal the actors' lack of combat skills which these days would most likely be remedied by a three month boot camp ahead of filming but which here threatens to undermine the special forces rep of the men involved. It's a minor quibble though, a tiny blemish in an otherwise magnificent film.

Pause at the worksite
As you may know, we completely renovating ballroom at the moment. And it will of course be ready for the prom next week.
Of course, this does not prevent us for other tasks; floor exercises are always high on the priority list, as well as to meet friends.
Yesterday we were on the "Alternative Christmas" with Anna. We believed in our innocence that it was finally time came to discuss and criticize U.S. involvement in Vietnam, eating lentil soup and engage in free sex. But what we have betrayed us ...
The good Anna and associates had arranged a fun disco -79. And of course it is more fun to dance to Boney M than eating lentil soup ... It would be this with free love maybe .....
Anyway a big thanks to Anna!
We went on to the next stop was Second Norway, where their "queen" Mialinn celebrated her rezzdag. Very nice party and it was a lot of fun, there were lively goings-on. Not least the good ol Ey!
Next stop was our home of the island Alltid where relaxation exercises were on the program!

Old houses as good as new
AS the cost of newly built homes rises and their size shrinks many first time buyers are turning back to older suburbs in the hope of finding a larger home at a smaller price.
But if they want a really "good deal", says Dr Piet Botha chairman of the Nationlink, estate agency group they need to take a tip from more experienced fix up buyers and look be yond the current appearance of a home to its core potential.
It often takes a while for first time buyers who've been looking at newly built homes to adjust their focus when they start viewing older homes.
"So what first time buyers should really be hunting for, are homes that are 'sound but sad' properties that don t need extensive and expensive renovation but could really benefit from being redecorated", he says.
Things that often put buyers off but are easy to fix include dingy walls and shabby floors, provided they are basically sound.
Walls have a huge visual impact and potential buyers should try to picture them with a fresh coat of paint and perhaps a little re pointing around the windows and doors.
Carpets or vinyl floor coverings are easily replaced and re sanding will give good wooden floors a "million dollar" look.
A modern kitchen can give a whole new look to an old house but to save costs much can be achieved by just replacing cupboard doors and the work surface with bright and durable laminate to startwith.
The garden may take a little longer to put right, but pruning untidy shrubs and regular mowing of a neglected lawn will with a new coat of paint on the house improve the kerb appeal enormously.
"Most of this work can be done with very little cash outlay", says Botha, " And if the bigger jobs are undertaken over a period the budget will not be badly bruised."
"The improvements will bring pleasure to the owners and a handsome dividend if the house has to be sold."

Still in Pain
I am still in a lot of pain. I feel like managing the pain is an uphill battle. My hip is always inflamed and the muscles, like my hip flexor, and glutes, are so tight. I wake up in pain, go to sleep in pain, and spend my day in pain.
Despite all the pain I am using my crutches less. I barely use my crutches most days. If I need to run to the pharmacy I might grab my cane and if I need to do some shopping I make sure to go somewhere that has powercarts to shop with.
I am definitely doing better than I was doing 3 months ago, but the progress is so slow. I am nowhere close to where I want to be. I still can't spend a day at the mall without my crutches and needing three more days to recover.
I see my pain management doctor in a couple of weeks so I will see what we can come up with. I am thinking about getting a power cart of my own, or a wheelchair. Something that I can take around downtown, or to the mall or to take my dog for a walk.

It's not just any soccer shoe. It's made by footwear giant Nike and endorsed by soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. The new mercurial vapors 2010 also known as the mercurial vapor superfly II made its grand global launch in London, the United Kingdom in February 24, 2010. It is a remarkably engineered soccer shoe that is touted to be the lightest soccer shoe in the market. Its other features include a traction system that was designed to provide the soccer athlete amazing acceleration; burst of color for immediate visibility on the soccer field; improved fit enabling the athlete to move with ease at varying speeds; studs that can extend for up to 3mm and retract automatically depending on ground and pressure variances; and strategically-positioned blades on the soles of the shoe that helps the soccer athlete rapidly change his direction with almost zero effort.
Nike, the makers of the new mercurial vapors 2010, is very proud of this latest piece of workmanship and design calling it a perfect merging of digital and physical technologies. The design of the shoe came from long years of in-depth study, interview, observation, and research by the company's design and engineering team. These teams went on to speak with world soccer champions about their ideal shoe and they found out that super athletes prefer a shoe that provides speed and power. The aesthetic part of the shoe design was also a result of a desire to wear a shoe befitting superstar status. Aside from personal interviews with world-renowned soccer athletes, Nike's engineers and designers also watched reels of footage from past world championships and took note of the number of spills that an athlete took on the soccer field. The average number of spills was 14 per player. The last step was a collaborative effort on the final design of the shoe. This time Cristiano Ronaldo and Alexander Pate were often consulted to contribute their own ideas to the endeavor.
The result of all these hard work is this superstar shoe called the new mercurial vapors 2010. The shoe you can't do without when you're out busting soccer moves on the field!

Here it is, folks!
Bloc Party frontman, Kele Okereke's debut solo single.
Did I take a deep breath before pressing play? Maybe.
Was I afraid that Kele's new found out-ness was gonna lead him to unleash the (literally) gayest album since Mika? Possibly.
My thoughts: Not too shabby! I don't know how much I'd actually jam it, but I'm not mad at it. Good enough for a first single. He's gonna get all sorts of dude lovin' off of this one. Ha!

Let the coach and "the real game" be the teacher
By Roger Wilkinson
In the 50's and 60's at grass roots level coaching wasn't particularly great. But it didn't really matter because the learning environment simply known as "street football" was, for young kids, uniquely successful in developing their skills to a high level, especially in working class Britain.
Kids played in the streets and just as importantly in the playgrounds and we, in the UK, look back with nostalgia at days which produced great individual players like Mathews, Finney, Baxter, Best, Charlton, Johnstone, Osgood, Law, Marsh, Currie and even more recently Gazza, and wish that it could be the same now. We know that in those days the game really was the teacher.
As modern-day coaches we have to look past the nostalgia and really try to identify and learn from the simple yet sophisticated street development system that was such a "conveyor belt" of exciting talent. (Oh yes, I forgot Milburn, Bell, Broadbent, Mannion, Allchurch, Gray, Hoddle and a few more.)
It's not enough to say "Let the game be the teacher" without asking how and why was the game the teacher. More specifically: Why was this learning process so successful and what were the key teaching elements that produced so many great individuals?
The key teaching elements were:
- In the street young players were playing in tight areas so they either learnt to be comfortable on the ball, despite having little time or space, or they wouldn't be able to "get in to the game". They would often end up as the goalkeeper! The incentive to make themselves skilful was immense. Skill equaled quality time on the ball. Lack of skill meant next to no time on the ball. Skill was everything!
- In the playground the playing area was bigger but there were usually 3-4 other games going on involving kids from other classes. This in itself was a great learning system because the players' eyes had to be "up and alert" in case they ran in to somebody else. And there weren't many collisions. The young players were forced to develop terrific awareness.
- In both situations – street or playground – none of the players wore "bibs" yet all the players knew who was on their team. An environment that demanded this recognition of team mates and opponents in such a random way developed great speed in the "vision-to-decision-making" skills of the players .
- The young player in the "street football "era often trained three times a day.
1. Before school, sometimes for almost an hour, before assembly. (No waiting to be dropped off at school by car in those days, most kids ran to school or if very rich, biked.)
2. At lunch time, if they ate their school lunch quickly. It allowed the players 30-40 minutes game time before afternoon lessons. Often these games had the same sides and were a follow-on from the morning's game.
3. After school the players went home and played in the streets, or if by themselves, practiced against a wall till their mates joined them. They played before mum and dad got home from work and before mum had cooked tea. If they were lucky they were allowed out after tea to play until bed time! There was nothing much else to do.
This informal system resulted in young players having hundreds of touches on the ball on a daily basis.
- The games were played on hard concrete, asphalt or cobblestone pitches. If you fell down it really hurt, so nobody wanted to fall down! To be able to play successfully in this unforgiving environment the young players had to develop extended balancing abilities on and off the ball.
- In the street/playground game the young player was always involved in the game either on the ball, where they could show what they could do, or, off the ball, where they were indirectly learning the signals of the game according to the actions of their team mates. (You cannot learn those signals standing in lines or playing unrelated fun games.)
- The "street players" were always practicing a version of the real game either in a small-sided version or sometimes (such was the popularity) an over-sized version BUT they always practiced playing the same real game. This allowed the skill transfer system to move through the memory system from short, to medium, to long-term memory in a continuous way. The skills became permanent.
- The games were really competitive. It was important to win. The players played hard and in the main, fair. Arguments stopped playing time, so they were few and far between. The competitiveness was developed by the kids themselves, NOT superimposed by parents and/or coaches!
However, like most things in life, "street football" wasn't perfect. But we can still learn from its imperfections.
We can learn as coaches from what street football did NOT develop in the young players.
The missing elements were:
- If players acquired basic skills or techniques that worked for them in the early stages of their development, they tended to rely on those habits rather than introducing new skills into their game. This mainly showed itself in many of the players only being able to kick, control and dribble the ball with one foot.
- The tactical and positional aspects of the street game were usually deficient and disorganized. Only if they were lucky enough to go on to play at pro or good semi–pro level would they be introduced to, and instructed in these aspects of the game. There was no coach over viewing and assessing the performance and imparting tactical assistance.
So what are the key points we take out of the street football analysis to add to our own coaching methodology?
In my view "street football" shows coaches the following fundamental coaching methods that would make the work of the modern day development coach far more effective:
- We can learn from street football that the size of our practice areas is vitally important in helping young players to develop realistic skills based on making the right decisions according to the time and space at their disposal. We can manipulate the size of our playing areas and the number of players to increase or decrease the difficulty in our practices in order to improve skill development. The better the players become, the tighter you make the areas to practice in. Remember, great players can play in the tight!
- In group situations, even when learning new skills, always involve other players moving in the same area at the same time so that the young player starts to learn vision and awareness from day 1 of their soccer education. For 5-6 year-olds you may start with just two players in a 20m x 20m grid in their foundation skill development work, increasing the numbers and/or decreasing the area size as their skill levels develop.
- Copy playground chaos learning and occasionally mix into practices and warm ups, situations where there are no bibs as identification. This will increase the players' visual awareness abilities as a form of over-training .Then introduce bibs or team shirts to see if there is an improvement in the quickness of decision making.
- Street football showed that time on the ball is vital for young players. You as the coach are limited to the improvement you can affect in players in one or two practices a week. The coach has to enthuse and encourage the young players to play and practice in their "free time". If they are by themselves they can practice using a rebound wall, or alternatively, by getting a parent to help them. When their mates are around they should be encouraged to set up for themselves informal but competitive games. In this respect, as part of the club coaching programme, homework is vital.
- The difference from the street in today's game is that, relatively speaking, the practice areas are much improved from the "cobblestones" of the past. They are usually grass or a form of artificial turf, which is rightfully, more forgiving of the players for loss of balance! So the playing surface does not demand that extra quality in foot work and balance. This means the coach has the responsibility to continually emphasize the importance of these qualities in their practices. All really great players have great balance and footwork when receiving the ball, and before and after.
- It should be self evident that all practices should mirror as closely as possible the real game so that the skills learned in the practices are transferable to the real game. Young players cannot pick up the awareness, the understanding, or the signals of the game if they are standing in line waiting for their turn. In fact, in a competitive game, if they stood and watched and only played when it was their turn on the ball the coach would go ballistic. Yet that is what the drill system is subconsciously teaching them to do!! The game CANNOT be the teacher if each practice is a different fun game that has little similarity to the real game, and has no transference from one practice to the next. That is the opposite of what street football created.
Street football teaches us that each session should be a follow on from a previous session and a preparation for the next session.
- It is apparent that the coach must develop a coaching programme rather than just delivering random sessions. To develop the programme the coach must have a picture in their mind of how the game should be played. Like the one the street kid had in his mind.
It is suggested that the coaching programme could develop in this order;
a. Playing vision.
b. Vision into tactics and skills.
c. Tactics and skills adapted to age and ability of players.
d. Sessions developed to coach the relevant tactics and skills in 3-4-5 week blocks.
e. Player and team assessment.
f. Next block of sessions.
- Like the playground version, the coach should encourage the natural competitive ingredients of the game as part of the young players' development. But that competitiveness should then be regulated as a positive part of the game, within the rules and spirit of the game, by the players themselves and not by over-zealous coaches and parents. Play hard, play to win, play fair. Good coaches will know it's just as important to produce good people as well as good players.
- The coach must motivate the players to practice to improve their weaknesses as well as their strengths. If a player can play equally well off both feet, their effect on the game will be greater because it gives them and their team a wider skill and tactical range.
- In fact "street football" shows us how important the GOOD COACH is in developing young players. The coach can use the "street" skill development system and enhance it with the tactical understanding that enables the players to use their skills to help the team. It is obvious then, that coaches working at grass roots level have terrific responsibility if we are to kick-start the "great player conveyor belt". At that foundation game stage we need coaches who are trained to make sessions realistic, challenging, and enjoyable.
A simple motto might be "Under-coach and over-play" especially with younger players.
As the natural learning system of street/playground football started to disappear national associations put even more emphasis on developing coach education programmes to fill the gap and produce players for the game. Unfortunately, no matter how well intentioned the authors of those programmes were, the coaching became very prescriptive, over-organised and probably over-coached. It is interesting that most of the coaching programme developers were former teachers. So organisation and drill learning became more attractive than "chaos learning" situations.
Add to the mix the fact that junior soccer was being run, in the main, by keen, but relatively inexperienced parents. To a great extent they mirrored their role models – those hardnosed professional managers they saw every week on television – and the game at grassroots level became all about competing and winning rather than development.
However recently, especially in the UK, there has been recognition of the inadequacy of that system, if only from the fact that Britain is producing very few world class individualistic players and its teams hasn't won a major tournament since 1966.
There is a call for change. "Let the game be the teacher" is a convenient slogan, but the answer is certainly not that simple. "Street football" has disappeared and the replacement games presented as the "new" learning game are often just simplified "fun" relay-type activities that bear no relationship to the real game.
One national association has, as part of its "Let the game be the teacher" practices, introduced a game where the children stand on a line, run forward and kick a football into a square and then jog back to their line. Then another group of kids run forward from their line and kick the ball back. They run back to their line, then the first group repeat the feat, and so on.
I would question the relevance of that "fun" practice. What is that game teaching players that is transferable to the real game? To stand still, run forward, and kick the ball to an opponent, and then run back to where you came from.
I would suggest that Britain`s version of "let the game be the teacher", however well intentioned, is not the answer.
More than ever, the game needs a co-ordinated coaching programme allied to an exciting playing style with a recognition that it's at the grassroots development stage that you need the best coaching and the best coaches.
If we perhaps considered the slogan "Let good coaching be the teacher" based on the street football "chaos " learning system…
If we developed a playing philosophy based on individualism, player mobility, and clever tactical understanding…
If the coaches adopted a methodology that maximised the lessons of "street football" and delivered sessions that encouraged individualism and decision making in realistic playing situations where the young players were always in sessions where they practiced playing "the real game" and the coach imparted key points that were relevant, positive and motivating…
Then we would have the best of all worlds, and we could say "Let the game and the coach be the teacher".

Experience two UNESCO World Heritage sites without the rush!
This is a perfect day trip for people who have limited time but really want to experience the two of the most intriguing UNESCO World Heritage sites on the planet. Diocletian's Palace in Split, which still has more than 3, 000 people living inside its massive walls, is unique because unlike so many 1, 700 year old Roman antiquities that have become museum pieces, it's still alive. What an amazing story, how the summer home of an Emperor became the city of Split! Trogir, just 45 minutes up the coast is a remarkably preserved ensemble of astonishing 13th-18thC architecture, crowned by such a stupendous Cathedral (13thC) that like Chartres in France, you could spend days and still want more. With a terrific peka lunch with wine at one of Split's most authentic konobas, you will come back to your cruise ship or hotel filled with memories that other travelers here for a day will simply never experience.
After meeting you at the pier or in front of the Split City Tourist Office we will go to the water taxi or private car/van to drive along the coast to Trogir, about 45 minutes. Trogir itself is on its own tiny island. The Old Town is very small, so walking here is easy and efficient. We will spend about an hour and 30 minutes here, with lots of time in the amazing Cathedral because it a story as well as an extraordinary architectural monument. Then it's off to Konoba Idro for our peka lunch with wine! Walk back to our transportation to Split. The walking tour in Split is about the same length, shorter or longer depending on your need to shop! We will have you back on the pier for your tender at the appropriate time. . . usually 3:30-5PM depending on the cruise line.
Meeting Location + Tour Duration
Meeting location: We meet you on the pier if you are coming by cruise ship. If you are staying at an apartment or hotel, we meet at the Split Tourist Office, on the waterfront Riva. Look for the large white letter i on the window.
End location: We will bring you back to the pier or to the Split Tourist Office on the waterfront Riva.
Duration: 6 hours
This program takes 6 to 8 hours depending on how long your ship is in port. It's especially designed for people coming to Split on a cruise ship. To ensure you will make your departure without worry we immediately go to Trogir. After lunch we come back to Split. So if there is any "time" issue, you will always be no more than 10 minutes from the pier or your tender! If your ship docks after 12PM, we have "dinner" in Trogir around 4-4:30. But we can be as flexible as needed!
In season, June-September we may use the water taxi, or the guide's car or van depending on the size of the group and the time you have. If there are more than 6 guests, we can create a special custom program!
What's Included
For guests arriving by cruise ship, we will meet you on the dock to introduce you to our professional guide, and with his private car or van return you to the dock in time for your departure. For others, we meet and greet you at the agreed location, transfer to Trogir, professionally guided walking tour in Trogir, admission to the Cathedral, peka lunch with one glass of wine, salad, peka bread; transfer back to Split, professionally guided walking tour of Diocletian's Palace, admission to the Cathedral and Jupiter's Temple. Drive back to your ship if you need this. Otherwise the tour ends on Split's waterfront Riva. More than 4 passengers we will need a van. The extra cost for this is $200 for up to 7. This is paid directly to the driver. For 4 or less, transportation by car is included.
Estimated Local Cash Needed
100 kuna, about 6 to the $1 - Check the exchange rate before you come. Now it's around 6 kuna to the $1. Great wine is around $15 a bottle, same for high quality olive oil. So excellent "souvenirs", all made here, are reasonable!
What's Extra
If you would like to bring back some authentic food/wine/jewelry, etc. bring your debit card. Lots of ATMs to get local currency, the kuna, since ONLY kuna is accepted, not Euros or dollars! The current rate is around 7 kuna to the $1, but check for most recent rate.
All programs to historic sites are conducted by a licensed, professional, local Croatian guide. I will meet you and act as an escort to share my experiences. For programs not requiring a guide, I will meet you and escort you to the host/captain

Okay, don't laugh at once. Yes. I am going to Torremolinos for my October week away. It's cheap and the resort we are going to is in a quieter part and gets good reviews.
Like Benidorm on the Costa Blanca, Torre was one of the first resorts developed for mass tourism and and attracted millions of Britons and other northern European tourist looking for sun when it is dark and dank in the north. With holidays there is always an element of snobbishness. Yes, I'd love to fly to Bali but it's not currently with my budget.
Over the years I have been to the Costa del Sol I have been to Torre once for a few hours when I had time to kill before the flight home. Let's see how this all works!!!

Gabriel Montoya is a classic hunk – he is very full of himself and arrogant. Just the combination that will sweep you off your feet and make you want to swoon. There is something about him that is just so decadent and delicious that I was waiting eagerly for him to take his dickhead out and start working it for the camera. He rips off a vest and opens up his zipper to reveal his massive beefy weiner already half full, then he goes for the wicker chair to take himself the rest of the way to climax. He creams all over the place.

Submission request from Illustration Now 3!!!!
Had some really exciting news this week! I have been asked to submit work for the next Illustration Now book from Taschen.
I'm really pleased as having my work appear in an anthology of contemporary illustration has been an ambition for me from the start. I think it is due in part, to all the hours I spent pouring over these kinds of things, dreaming of being an illustrator.
I suppose it is recognition and validation. Mind you, 10 years on, it's been a while coming!!! lol. Anyways, here is the cover to Illustration Now 2. Wonder what the new one will be like?

Sen. Michael J. Collins, Baltimore County's influential Senate delegation boss, is seriously considering stepping down from public office after more than two decades as a legislator.
Collins, who turns 62 this summer, has for months been hinting in Annapolis and his home district of Essex that he would like to find a new job. In a recent interview, he did not attempt to entirely dispel rumors that he's headed for a public- or private-sector job in education.
"After 24 years in the General Assembly, it might be time to change direction," said Collins, a Democrat. "I am fully vested in the pension system of the legislature and am also a retired high school teacher. I have to make a decision this year about my future."

The Bulldog is a popular breed, but unfortunately, this popularity comes with a price. Many breeders want to make quick profits from the bulldog, so they will cross it with some other races just to make it less aggressive, and for this reason, the authentic breed is a little compromised. Therefore, when you find some cheap bulldog puppies, make sure that you are buying the authentic dog.
The race is 100 years old. They were designed to be a company race, from the English bulldog. The French bulldog is another type of bulldog obtained from the English one, but it is a distinctive and recognized breed.

I love rediscovering really good workout songs, don't you?
Artist: Avalon
Song: The Best Thing (Euro Stack Mix)
Album: 02 Avalon Remixed
I was looking for another song off the same CD on YouTube for a guy I know (he loves this genre) and I found this one instead. I put it back into my workout playlist and took it for a test drive (er, walk) this afternoon. I don't remember why I removed it in the first place - great power walking song!!
I did eventually find the original song I was looking for, and it's going into my workout playlist tomorrow!
Artist: Avalon
Song: Can't Live A Day (DJ Tiesto Mix)
Album: 02 Avalon Remixed
And there it is!! Enjoy the bonus song. (Sensing a theme with this week's music yet?? Haha. I love my rock and roll, but there's still a part of me that likes the pop/dance/techno!)

Well going to hit town this morning to pick up supper as my brother and sister in law are coming up for a nice dinner... have his gift to give him. I think once I am in town I will go to a couple of eye glass places and check out some new frames... going to get something funky just not sure what... I would love to have a pair of green frames..but will just have to wait and see what they got..
¼ chopped onion (3 Tablespoons)
2 stalks celery, diced
½ apple, chopped
2 (6 ounce) cans water packed tuna, drained
5 Tablespoons Mayo or Miracle Whip
¼ teaspoon, freshly ground black pepper
4 English Muffins split in half
1 Tomato
1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese
Combine onion, celery, apple, tuna, salad dressing and black pepper in a medium sized bowl. Place English Muffin halves on a foil lined baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove from oven and top each English muffin half with 1/4 of the tuna mixture. Top each with a tomato slice and cheddar cheese. Broil for 2-4 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
I love cooking with fresh herbs but they are so expensive to buy so how about having your own herb garden..
Herb Garden
Grow your herbs "vertical gardening style" by simply filling each pocket of a shoe organizer with soil and herbs. This is also a clever way to hang your plants out of reach from inquisitive cats.
Tip: Test the fabric of the organizer first to see if it will allow water to drain, if not, just make a few small holes in each pocket
Make sure you use sckum hooks when you hang... as once you put the dirt in the pockets with water it will get quite heavy...
Well everyone have a good day and talk to you soon
