Current State - Paintings in Progress
This is where I'm at with the three 40" x 50" paintings for the January show. After taking the photos, I added to them. Just need to live with them for a while since I've been trying to get them as far as possible with the little time I have in the studio. Plus delivery is next month on the 22nd! Yikes!
Over Inflated
Idea Lost
Started this 6' x 6' painting today and had to dig out the hair dryer to get the paint to set. The nights have been so cold that its still pretty tacky in the morning. So far I like the progress on this one.

Painting in Progress
Got on this one again, but had to take today off to frame pieces going to Fort Mason. Not too bummed since it's freezing out there. Frost on the ground this morning. Might be time to break out the hair dryer since the paint isn't setting as quickly.

Tabi Tabi Po @ 1AM Gallery
I'm in a show with quite a few Filipino artists from the U.S., Philippines and Norway. If you're in the city (SF) this Friday, drop by to the opening at 1AM Gallery.
What's goin' on in there!
I was in the studio last night and decided to make this short video of some current work for a show in January at SFMOMA's Artists Gallery at Fort Mason in San Francisco.
Monday, November 9, 2009
Finally feeling like I'm getting someplace with these paintings. Ok, my studio is thrashed, but it's functional.
New Year's resolution...."Don't leave crap laying around so you can trip over it trying to make art...or what you call art!" I tripped twice tonight almost impailing myself on a paint brush handle.

Pluggin' Away

Teaching Coco and her friend that colors eventually turn to MUD!
Ok, I confess... I don't have the patience for the amount of energy these two kids can unleash. Heather is the art lesson master. I bow to her!!

A Little Progress
These are the two paintings that I started a couple days ago. Have two more in the works with one in the wings. More to come. What you can't see here is all the crap that's out of frame.

I've been a subscriber to New Scientist for, err, lots of years now. With gaps enforced by shortness of actual money here and there, I've been reading it for somewhere around 30 years. And throughout that time, the best bit of the magazine has always been the fun bit at the back. It used to be called Daedalus, but has been known as Feedback for quite some time now, despite some mutterings about renaming it so people visiting the website wouldn't confuse it with the letters page.
Anyway, Feedback includes many things, mostly supplied by readers, such as adverts for unlikely (if expensive) products and bizarre pseudo-scientific claims made by the differently sane. So when I got an email a while back that somehow slipped past my spam filters, which said, in part:
After two years working at a healing and health retreat in Thailand, I will be coming to London now, bringing lots of new, cutting-edge information to you about healing your health based on science, chemistry, energy, magnetism, vibration and other quantum healing methods.
I thought that it might be Feedback material, what with the "healing your health" and the inevitable "quantum", which is often used in Fruitloopery as a nicely vague word, presumably because they're targeting people who aren't too familiar with physics. I submitted it in November, but as it didn't appear in print, I assumed it wasn't deemed weird enough and forgot about it.
But in the latest issue (cover date 16 April, on sale in the UK until Wednesday), there it was! Of course, it does suggest that I got the message "recently", but we'll allow that as journalistic licence. Or something.
However, there is a problem: they describe me as "Londoner Les Bessant". Say what? Now there was a time, some years back, when my business trips to London were so frequent that I could almost have counted as a resident, but these days it's down to once or twice a year. I suspect some extrapolation from context has been applied…
Here's the link anyway:

If you're feeling a little green this morning, then you'll fit in.
That's the color for the upcoming weekend, as the First City Council on Cancer holds its 22nd Annual St. Patrick's Day Auction & Raffle on Saturday evening.
Paddy's Leather Breeches will be entertaining the crowd with appropriate music during the event that raises proceeds for cancer patients in southern Southeast Alaska.
There will even be a pot of gold, plus prizes meant to appeal — cruises, airline tickets and, specifically with Ketchikan's waterfront in mind, a trolling motor. For some lucky winners, it's all golden.
The council has accepted more than 200 donations, a wide variety of attractions for the most discerning bidders. Food and beverage will make the evening complete.
The donations range from framed prints to Irish whiskey, jewelry and Native items, handmade treasures, and gift certificates, to name a few.
This auction takes what seems like an immeasurable amount of time and effort by council members and other volunteers; it's an act of compassion for those who put it on annually.
It's also one that the community historically comes through for, often with a friend or a family member in mind who has dealt with cancer.
Too many people in Ketchikan and throughout the southern part of Southeast Alaska have their day-to-day lives interrupted to take on a battle with cancer. When it can, the council helps to ease the financial strain.
Thanks to the council and its auction, it is truly helping cancer patients.

The assistant coach of England, Gary Neville, postponed joining the team of the coach Roy Hodgson for the controls with Germany and the Netherlands this month. Neville wants to concentrate on the job at his club team Valencia, who runs in the bottom half of the table in the Spanish Primera.
Valencia last night made a home loss against Celta with 0:2, which is the third consecutive defeat for the team of Gary Neville in the League. After the match, Valencia supporters demanded the resignation of the head coach.
`I just spoke with Roy Hodgson and I will stay in Valencia in the coming days. I think this is the right decision.`, Neville said after the press conference. Neville initially had to join the English national team immediately after the match analyzed by football picks with Celta, but due to the crisis, the specialist decided to stay at Valencia until Thursday.
`It is obvious that the situation is complex. Before coming to Valencia I was assistant coach of the national team of England with 60 million people behind the team, but now it is clear to me that 2-3 million residents of Valencia are in need of my attention this week. The last thing I want now is for people to say that I am not committed to my work in Valencia, which has never happened to me in life. I have to combine the two jobs. I am an assistant in the English national team for 3.5 years and I love this job. But these three days I will work with boys in Valencia.`, commented Gary Neville.

For many years I have closely followed the saga of a acquitted killer Robert Durst. Now that he's been arrested for the 2000 murder of one-time friend Susan Berman, I will have to resume following the story once more.
Now if murder charges could again be filed against octogenarian acquitted killer T. Cullen Davis, I would die happy.

New in books #3Thursday, June 11, 2015
I may have gotten a little too carried away with the book buying in May, but to be fair some of them were ordered online back in April.
The first three are a part of Penguin's little black classics, which is a series of little books with either poems or excerpts from stories, each written by a different author. I got The Beautiful Cassandra by Jane Austen, The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe and The Tinder Box by Hans Christian Andersen.
The next two books are by Sarah J. Maas. The first one is A Court of Thorns and Roses. This one is kind of a retelling of beauty and the beast and it's supposed to be really good :-D

The second one is Throne of Glass, which is the first book in the series of the same name. It is about a teenage assassin called Celaena who, after getting caught, makes a deal. She has to represent the prince in a fight-to-the-death tournament in exchange for her freedom. I mainly go this one because my friend Sisse has been raving about the series, and she practically forced me to buy it (at least that's what I'm telling myself).
I also got Fairest by Marissa Meyer. This is a companion novel to the Lunar chronicles, and it tells the backstory for the series' villain Queen Levana. I actually read this one just when I got it, and I will talk more about it in my May reads post, which will hopefully be up tomorrow.
I read the first book in The Maze Runner series by James Dashner a couple months ago, and this month I decided to pick up the second one in the series, The Scorch Trials.
The last one I got is Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider. I read Severed Heads and Broken Hearts last year, and when I found out Robyn Schneider was releasing a new book, I had to preorder it immediately. It is about a boy named Lane who gets sick with an incurable type of tuberculosis. Due to the sickness being highly infectious, Lane is sent to a special boarding school for kids with tuberculosis.
All of these books sound SO good, and I can't wait to read them!

I'm Back!
I've returned from the artic tundra after taking a true vacation. Didn't answer work email, didn't blog, didn't keep up with my usual sites, didn't do any church work..... just spent time with my loud and potentially psychotic family. Okay, I did some shopping too. One of the highlights of my trip was being able to spend a little time working on the Canadian federal election. I worked for one of the best candidates I've seen in years, Andrew House. It was great to work for someone of integrity who seems to really get it. I also had the chance to work on some photography (which may be used in some campaign material). Whoo hoo! That's it - a fabulous dork Christmas story.

This is absolutely gruesome and foul. Heinous. There is nothing cultural or religious about this, whether Sikh, Hindu or Islamic. This is pure and simple barbarity. See my previous essay on honour killing. I quote from the news story:
A GIRL of 15 was tricked into a "telephone marriage" ceremony to a Sheffield man with a mental age of five in a ceremony recognised by sharia (Islamic law). The girl's marriage last April was not recognised by the Home Office but was approved by the Islamic Sharia Council in Britain.
Here is the full report. And it is indeed worse. See page 25 for a Sikh Girl's problems, page 29 for a Orthodox Jewish girl's problems. See this on page 32:
Bawjit Singh, an Indian Hindu who works as a social worker in East London whose sister was disowned by her family after marrying a Muslim, says: "In the eyes of my parents marrying a Muslim is marrying the enemy. We are taught that we can be friends with them but we can't date them and definitely can't marry them. If I marry one who is Muslim then I am disowned"
But do not over-react and think it is applicable to all ethnic minorities. Also see my previous post about ethnic minorities. See this table on page 19:
The effect of honour on education levels: A 2007 study by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation found that the educational qualifications of women from South Asia varied widely. These variations are largely a result of their widely differing attitudes to honour. Percentage of women aged 25-29 with degree level qualifications:
Women of Indian origin 53.9%
Women of Pakistani origin 25.6
Women of Bangladeshi origin 15.5
UK average: 29.7
But overall, something needs to be done to these barbarians in our midst who mistreat women in this fashion. I do not give a shit about what justification they use, they need to be put into stocks and rotten tomatoes thrown at them regularly.

To intervene or not to intervene, that is the question.
Newport News City Councilman Marty Williams was trying to intervene in the selection of a chairman and vice chairman of the city's School Board when he said he could "fix" their appointments. In the process, he made himself look arrogant. It was a case of intervening improperly.

Campus Facelift
The F.M. Kirby Foundation has been quietly beautifying campus for more than a dozen years. Their latest grant will transform the area behind the EC.
When it comes to his approach to supporting Drew, S. Dillard Kirby, president and director of the foundation that carries his family's name, says his attitude reflects his father's directive 14 years ago to focus on "lower profile" areas of the campus.
"It is an attitude of 'Let's direct our philanthropy where others are not,' " says Kirby.
That humble, yet ambitious sentiment has led to more than $1.2 million worth of projects that have transformed portions of campus that needed, as Kirby says, "a bit of a facelift." Projects like the Kirby Gate at the Glenwild Road entrance to campus, the library's Thomas H. Kean Reading Room and Gallery, and myriad campus roads and walkways, including the Ceremonial Path that connects Mead Hall and the Ehinger Center.
Add to that the most recent $220,000 grant, bestowed last fall, which will transform the parking lot behind the Ehinger Center. Repaving will eliminate unsightly patches and cracks, and reconfiguring the traffic pattern will add more parking spaces and lead to better vehicular and pedestrian safety.
"When we have this beautiful new building, the last thing we want is for visitors to see an ugly, unwieldy lot first," says Linda DeTitta, associate director, foundation and governmental relations.
The beautification and improvement projects funded by the F.M Kirby Foundation have made a huge impact on recruitment and retention, says Mike Kopas, assistant vice president, administration and university relations. Kopas has been tasked over the years with ferreting out projects that need to be addressed and also fit with the Kirby family's goals.
"There are projects I can tell you that would never have been done if not for the Kirby Foundation," Kopas says, for example, noting how a 2013 grant transformed the neglected area between the Welch and Holloway Halls into an inviting and welcoming place for students to gather with landscaping and furniture.
"It was functional before, it wasn't in immediate danger of failure in any way," he says. "But now, you see this is a space that really goes a long way with student engagement. It does big things for the feel of the campus."
Other projects allowed the university to beautify areas and, at the same time, deal with crucial infrastructure issues like storm water management and pedestrian walkway deterioration, Kopas says.
The Kirby family's dedication to Drew is deep and broad. Between Kirby and his mother, Walker Dillard Kirby, the two served for nearly 30 years on the board for the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, whose home on Drew's campus, the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre, is a monument to their generosity.
Kirby said his late father, F.M. Kirby II, was a big fan of swimming as a collegiate sport. "He was pleased that the natatorium at Drew provided an observation deck," Kirby says of the NCAA competitive pool that also bears the family name. The late philanthropist received an honorary degree from Drew in 1997.
Walker Kirby also served on the university's Board of Trustees in the 1970s, and Kirby's sister, Alice Kirby Horton, also a Kirby Foundation director, graduated magna cum laude from Drew in 1972.
For their part, Kirby says the foundation relishes working with Drew because the university "has been a great steward of each grant award over the years."
"This has, in turn, reinforced our commitment toward the next project," Kirby says. "We like it that the university prioritizes their needs and thereby gives us greater assurance that all efforts will be placed on quality and process of any given project."
What is most remarkable is how all these projects add up, says Drew President, Dr. MaryAnn Baenninger.
"Taken individually, each project might seem small," Baenninger says. "But together they have transformed parts of the campus that were previously neglected. The F.M. Kirby Foundation's generosity and foresight has helped fill the campus with the inviting spaces that our students, families, and faculty want and deserve."—Jennifer V. Hughes

More Info on mesa Skateboarding Lessons With adam creed
In picking out a route to learn about AZ skateboarding, there are two routes. You could either be part of a camp, or group lesson, or choose a personal instructor. The personal instruction with adam creed is far more costly on paper, but it is group lessons that ends up being far more dangerous in the prolonged-run.
Here's How
In mesa group skateboard instruction with adam creed, you will be component of a group of 5-15 other skateboarders under the supervision of one or two instructors. The majority of this type of instruction will involve verbal teaching and a display from the front of the classroom. Following introducing the strategy, it is then the skateboarders turn to stick to and replicate the ability offered. All fifteen skateboarders then commence trying.
Research have shown lack of supervision in rookie skateboarding is one of the biggest sources of damage. All in all, the attention of these two instructors can not aim on the strategy of far more than one skater at a time. Lack of attention is the biggest prohibiter in group lessons. Here's the difficulty, skateboarding is far more like a mathematical equation than like biology lab. There are specified actual foot placements, pressure demands, and agility competencies. Certain, you can experiment all you want with the correct balance, but at the conclude of the day, it arrives down to a specific remedy. There is a whole lot far more experimenting in group lessons which can lead the threat of damage.
Non-public lessons are not only safer but will just take significantly less time.
There's no query that AZ group lessons do the job. With busy AZ schedules these days, and lack of cost-free time, we all sense a want to be far more effective. From practical knowledge, I have witnessed over fifty newcomers learn about to experience off of curbs in their very first personal lesson. This is outstanding! The pace of discovering when you have a person viewing you the entire time is accelerated greatly.
So would you somewhat just take eight lessons or 4 personal lessons? The decision is up to you.
Go Skate Shop has a complete choice of products which every skateboarder and skateboarding fanatic has arrive to count on from a retailer specializing in the necessities of the activity. Go Skate carries a big choice of complete boards, decks, trucks, wheels, longboards, and outfits Films are offered, too, and Go Skate even gives you skateboarding lessons with adam creed.

This was just adorable! It was on Mary Louise's again...wanted to share it with all of you though!
My little niece told Santa what she wanted this year but would not tell me what she wanted...had to have an elf tell me! ;-) Now I have to go out & get it.
I think I'm getting her this Rockette's Book too from him. Chris got it for me & had it wrapped when I got to his house after my roll over on Sat. He gave it to me. I asked him if that was my Christmas present because I didn't want to open it & he said, "Just open it!". It did make me smile. He did it all on his own...I had no idea there was a book on them. It was sooo sweet. He ordered another for her thinking I might want to give it to her. :-)

We've always managed to avoid the pageant thing like the plague. But we succumbed. I guess it was the chance to let our girly-girl glam it up that did it. The child likes to dress up at least five times a day. So we let her have her night and managed to make it through the whole thing without her realizing it was a competition. She just had fun.
So, it was probably our last year in the pageant scene. But not because of the long night. It's because of scenes like the montage following.....I'm so competitive, can't you just see me doing this? It's hilarious.

Browse these carpet and tile cleaners with great ratings from Thumbtack customers in Chesapeake.
Mr. Walker showed up on time with a happy disposition. He is a very pleasant gentleman and made sure the work performed met my expectations. The price was the same as quoted with no additional surprise fees which is common among many local carpet cleaners. The carpet looks fantastic! Very happy customer!!!
They did an amazing job on the carpet as well as the tile/grout! Would definitely use them again!
Julie and her crew were amazing. I am military and have to leave in a crunch; my home wasn't really ready for Julie's group and she was able to reschedule for me, (even while rescheduling, her crew was helping me out in my kitchen boxing stuff up). That in itself was a major relief for me. They arrived promptly the following day and was able to get the house completely cleaned before my carpet cleaner arrived. I HONESTLY CAN'T BRAG ENOUGH ABOUT THIS GROUP!! If I weren't leaving, I would hire her on a regular basis.
Kays Custom cleaners did an AWESOME job! Thank you so much.
If you are searching for a carpet cleaner you can trust look no further. Mr. Hicks does twice the work for half the cost compared to the big name carpet cleaners. He has no staff to pay or expensive advertising expenses and he passes those savings on to you. He arrived on time and did an excellent job cleaning the entire house with zero hidden fees. I have already given his contact info to all my friends and will be calling him any time I need a carpet cleaner. Outstanding service!
I highly recommend them. They showed up early, were professional, personable, and did a great job. My once dingy looking carpets look brand new one. As long as I live in the area I will ONLY use this company for carpet cleaning.
Highly recommend Expert Cleaning Solutions. Used them for carpet cleaning and junk removal. Very professional and personable too. Will definitely call them again.
As an ex military wife--I have moved 16 times. By far Shawn and Brittany did the best move out clean Ive ever had. The house was immaculate--kitchen, bathrooms carpet etc. I could not be more pleased with their friendly , professional service. They went above and beyond by even helping me load heavy things into my UHaul. They care and it shows. A must hire!!!!
Hired this company for 2 thumbtack.com projects, a one time house cleaning (move out cleaning), and carpet steam cleaning to get my home ready for renters. They did a fantastic job on both projects! Timely, polite, professional, great attention to the details, and they paid attention to specific requests my wife had. I absolutely recommend them.
Troy and his son did an amazing job cleaning our carpets. They were on time and took their time addressing the stains. The carpets look great! Great price for great work.
I needed to find help for my aging parents, as housework has become too much for them. I live out of state and don't know any cleaners in the area, so I found Denise on Thumbtack. Denise impressed me immediately by her timely responses to my emails. She has a great attitude, and was understanding about my parents' clutter problem, which she was able to work around. What I thought was going to be a one-time clean looks like it might turn into a regular experience, because my parents and I liked her ways and personality so much. She arrived prepared and had no problem with my mom's weird rule about no shoes or bare feet on the carpet. The cleaning had been neglected for a while; but she rose to the occasion and we are all so happy to be in a healthy house again. A gem. Recommended.
Don has now handled two projects for me, one large and one smaller, but has done excellent, professional work on both. His kitchen granite and tile work was fabulous, and he installed new entry way and patio doors for me. Timely, cost-effective and professional all the way!
kBathroom and bedroom look great. Only small glitch, paint splatters on new tile and on carpet due to no drop cloth.
I will never worry about floor cleaning again! The tile in my kitchen didn't even look this good when I moved in. I can't begin to express my gratitude for the job they did! They were able to get rid of the pet smell in my home and the grout in my kitchen looks absolutely stunning. Quality, quality, quality! Thank you so much! I'm going to keep you guys on speed dial.
Went way out of his way to remove a "permanent" stain from my carpet...tried several different solvents and did not charge extra!
I have a large family and I run a very busy day care from my home. The constant, excessive, 'traffic' wreaks havoc on my carpets. I had several, deep, ground in, stains and was not expecting much when All Pro Cleaners came to clean my carpets but when they were finished I was stunned to see that not only did they get all of the stains out but my carpet looked brand new! All Pro Cleaners do a fantastic job. They are professional and affordable. I will definitely be using them again and highly recommend their services.
I wish there were more than 5 stars to give mr. Tom. He was amazing! The flooring job I hired him for turned out to be a nightmare( the people who installed my last floor had 0 idea what they were doing and it was a mess), but at no fault to Mr. Tom. He worked long hours and made sure I knew what was going on every step of the way. I love my new flooring and I am 100000 % happy with the quality of work. We are looking forward to having Mr. Tom come back to do more work for us!! I can't recommend him enough!!!
I've used Chem-Dry to clean my carpets in my house and my rentals and to clean upholstery. Oceanfront Chem-Dry always sends out a two-man team. They are dressed professionally, work quickly and smile while they do it. Carpets and couches always look terrific when they're done and for months after. Love the carpet spot cleaner too ... perfect for doggie messes.

Overseas Adventure Hikes
The best way to really get to know a place is to explore it for yourself
All of our treks are specifically tailored to our participants. Between our overseas partners and our team at home, we have tested them all. Our challenges vary from moderate to extremely difficult and we try to choose the unique approach to these classic destinations. We are setting our focus on what we believe to be the best three hiking adventures in Africa, South America, and Asia. All of these treks are are accessible and our skilled staff is prepared to help you make the most out of your life changing climb.
Mount Kilimanjaro
Mt. Kilimanjaro is one of the most impressive sights in Africa and summiting its peak is one of the all time greatest achievements. Rising majestically from the Savannah lands of northern Tanzania, Mt. Kilimanjaro stands tall at a peak of 19,340 ft (well above the cloud line). It is the highest mountain in Africa and the largest free standing mountain in the world. The feeling you get as you climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and watch the sun rise over the vast African plains is truly an incredible experience.
Mt. Kilimanjaro's great size and height strongly influence the climate, vegetation, and climbing conditions. The mountain also controls its own weather by affecting the surrounding rainfall. This means that hiking it requires immense stamina, unwavering persistence, and a waterproof resilience. We have taken over 8,000 people (and counting) on this incredible challenge to take on the tallest free standing mountain in the world.
Everest Base Camp
The Everest Base Camp trek is probably one of the most famous in the world, one that every trekker should consider taking at some point in their lives. It is without a doubt one of the most challenging treks to take on, but the sheer thrill and sense of achievement you experience as you arrive at the base of Mount Everest is unrivaled.
Your journey to Everest Base Camp begins in Kathmandu, Nepal's vibrant capital, and later hopping on a plane to Lukla, the gateway to the Khumbu region. From here, you will begin your trek into the heart of the Nepali Himalayas and take in some spectacular scenery along the way. The main highlight on your journey to Everest Base Camp will be the majestic snow-capped peaks that line the steep-sided valleys and the jaw-dropping views that await you at almost every turn. Few feelings can compare to looking up in awe at the world's highest peak.
Machu Picchu
Follow in the footsteps of the Spanish Conquistadors and early 20th Century explorers as you cross the high Peruvian Andes in search of Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas. The trek route departs from the bustling colonial mountain town of Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire, and winds its way through breathtaking mountain passes and on through humid jungle trails to reach the fabled ruins of Machu Picchu.
The city is set upon a ridge over the Urubamba Valley, deep within the jungle-covered mountains northwest of Cusco. Our trek takes you over the less traveled route of the high pass of Salkantay Mountain, a truly remarkable experience. You will cross a diverse range of terrain along the way - finding nothing but new adventures around every corner. The final reward for trekking Machu Picchu is a first-hand experience of an impeccably preserved ancient city that is on par with the Great Pyramids of Giza in terms of beauty and architectural achievement.
Barcelona marathon
In the heart of Spain lies the Catalan city of Barcelona. Famous for its art, culture, fine cuisine and, now, its marathon! The marathon itself is designed to give you the most scenic tour of all of Barcelona's major, amazing landmarks. You'll be running the 26.2 miles with college students from all over the US and the UK. Whether you're relaxing on the beach while sipping sangria, absorbing the culture at the Sagrada Familia or spring break partying on the waterfront with Barcelonians, the Barcelona marathon is a top event for anyone's bucket list.

And for those brave enough to race on New Year's Eve / New Year's Day - I hope it went well. You can legitimately say "it was your fastest race this year".
This week is my SECOND week on vacation. I can get used to this. Running-wise, another week marching toward my first marathon in March. Highlights of the week include a Yasso 800 workout on Tuesday and my longest run EVER on Saturday.
Tuesday's Workout - Yasso 800s x 9. I was spoiled this week and was able to run these on a HS track (since school is out this week).....my avg time for 800's was 2:56 (range from 2:52 - 2:58). Last interval was 2:55, so I think I did a decent job pacing. This would "indicate" my marathon time would be 2:55 - 3:00.
Mini Workout - Wednesday, since I had more time than when I'm working I went to the C and O and got in a nice 9.5 miles at easy effort. This "long-ish" run on a day after Yasso 800's is not exactly "easy" for me, but I enjoyed it. Good day.
Saturday Long Run - My assignment is 18 miles - no speeding up, or anything complicated, just "run 18 miles". So, that's what I did. My longest run ever, I feel "accomplishment".
UCAN Test - this week I tried drinking UCAN during my long run, as thats my strategy for fueling during my upcoming marathon. So, prior to the run I took a half serving of UCAN and carried a half serving with me. At mile 6, I started taking the second half of the serving - taking small drinks periodically. After about a mile I was able to get most of it down without any (at least very little) stomach upset. By mile 18 I was still good -fuel wise - so I'll keep trying this strategy on all my runs of 18 mi or longer. I still don't love the taste, but it works.
Weekly Miles: 57 (+ 3 mi power walk)
Long Run: 18
Weight: ? (It's New Year's...who cares?)
Daily Workouts:
- Monday: 56 minutes easy including strides toward the end. 7.1 mi / 7:55 pace or so. Rolling and stretching. Core work. Hip mobility stuff.
- Tuesday: Yasso 800's x 9 on HS track. avg 2:56. 9.9 mi incl with & cd. ITB work. Squats/deadlifts/pull-ups/push-ups. Rollin and dynamic stretching.
- Wednesday: 72' easy on C&O. Legs tired from yesterday, but not bad. 10.1 mi. rolling and stretching. 9.5 mi. Hip mobility
- Thursday: 4.7 miles recovery /easy on roads around the house. Legs still feeling a little heavy from Yasso on Tuesday. Rolling and stretching.
- Friday: 58 min easy including strides on C&O. 7.4 mi (7:50 pace). Core work.
- Saturday: 18.1 mi on WOD - Leesburg to Purcelville and back. Overall pace @ 7:25. Even tho I kept the pace pretty much steady, this run really wiped me out...I feel a little guilty, but I moved my normal strength work on Saturday to Sunday.
- Sunday: brisk walk of about 3 miles. Hip mobility. ITB and strength work. Squats and dead lifts. Pull-ups and push ups. Hip mobility. Rolling and stretching.
Back to work for me on Tuesday....ugh.

Oh my....I am spending the night with my Mom and she is playing Music Choice and we now are into "Love Hurts" on the 1970s channel...we already lived through "The Night Chicago Died" and "Carwash." Funny thing is this Al Green song just flipped on and she thought it was Tina Turner (one of my favorites). The woman makes me laugh (not Tina, my Mom). I think the 70s have a place in the scheme of things, and some of the stuff is great...my guess is that much of what I remember are the One Hit Wonders of the era and some greats like Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and the Eagles. As we are sitting around talking I keep remembering singing into brushes and playing air guitar on brooms with my cousin Tracy while jamming out to KISS. Thanks for the laughs tonight Mom!!!!
Today the meditation group I belong to met and as we gathered it was so nice to be with them again. Last time I missed our meeting and recognize that this was a loss. As we talked one of the members brought up the "Hopi Elders Prayer." It is a challenge to be a spiritual seeker and observe how we hold ourselves back when unable to let go. This can be something from the past, an idea, fantasy or even blocking a passage for change. My guess is I am not the only one that wants to hold on at times and must listen to the wisdom of the elders, while pushing off from the shore. Two things that arise for me are the need to be willing to follow possibilities, and know the task at hand cannot be done alone. Rather than ramble-on I am attaching the video...the prayer begins about two minutes into it.
Well, I am going to get back to the 70s with my Mom as she hums along to a song I never heard (She just said she hasn't heard it since the 70s. Listening to it now I can understand why). Good night and thanks for being here with me!

Ten bizarre American laws
(2:26) Fancy wrestling a bear? Then avoid Alabama. Bizarre laws are not exclusive to the US though. In England it is illegal for a boy under the age of 10 to see a naked mannequin.

Its much worse on this side of the pond. We've got laws that go back many many centuries but thankfully no judge in his right mind is going to execute someone for treason placing a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down. Crazy-but-true; in the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow. And finally, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet.

And over here (UK) Every licensed Hackney Cab (Taxi) is required by law to carry a bail of hay in the boot/trunk....in case the horse gets hungry......old law, not enforces, but still on the books, and quite funny.
Latest comment: No. The boot must be able to hold a bail of hay, not actually carry one.

When people quote strange laws like this, I'd like to see them include the actual statute so it can be verified. Otherwise, I have doubt on some of them such as the drinking beer three times while standing. Sure, a quick Google search reveals several sites quoting the same law but nobody is willing or able to give the actual statute number. I find it incredible that all the sources are news companies and not local law enforcement agencies. Really a $500 fine for detonating a nuclear device within city limits?

Hello and BURRRR!!!
Even though we all knew the cold weather was coming I was not ready for it.
We had indoor recess today as the temperature with the wind reached minus 30.
Please keep in mind that we do go out at -29 so make sure your child is prepared with proper clothing!
We have started adding in math and I am seeing some mathematicians in our room. Please work on math skills at home as they are just as important as reading or spelling.
We will be finishing up our bear unit soon. I think we all had a lot of fun learning about bears!
We are also busy reading, reading, reading!!! It is so important for you to read to your child every night as well as to let them read to you. Make this a nightly routine and you will see wonderful results academically as well as broadening their vocabulary. Your child will thank you!
I hope you all have a wonderful week!
Stay Warm,
Ms. Heshka

We went to the Pumkin Patch on Sunday. Originally we were going to go on Saturday, but it rained all day. First we went to a local fruit stand to pick out a pumpkin. It was super muddy, and the pumpkins did not look very good this year. We have had so much rain. Buster and I found a couple of pumpkins.
After that we went to a really fun patch that has carnival games and rides. The kids had a blast there, and here are some pics.

A couple of Deaf pastors are already seeking to adapt the curriculum to fit the needs of the Deaf community, and Pastor Minamida's interest will be a big boost to them. Pray for wisdom as they seek to discern the teachings of scriptures and communicate them in culturally relevant ways to the Deaf community.

Big Think Releases LIFE IN 2050 For Smithsonian's 40th Anniversary
Here at Green Living we found this series of short films a great eye opener and got us thinking about Life in 2050. We wanted to share this with you, so for the next work week starting July 6th we are going to bring you 7 of the 10 episodes, (1 a day) which, we found related to "green" and hope it gets you thinking.
Here is Part 5: More People, More Cities, Longer Lives
In 2050 there will be about 9 billion people in the world. The vast
majority of them will live in urban areas, and will have a significantly
higher average age than people today.

Yesterday I added a new tab page to preferences dialog. "Shortcuts" defines what shortcurts user wants to use in his browser. For example "g" means "Google" and "w" means wikipedia. Two days ago I implemented this functionality but yesterday I added an option which allows you to modify those shortcuts.
Example of shortcut.txt file:
[www.google.com]{g}(Search engine)
Line 1: Defines how many shortcuts is there in the file
Line 2-: Shortcut definitions. Between [] is the url, {} has the shortcut and the last one () is explanation.
If you check "Update automatically" checkbox, you can modify selected item by changing its values in textboxes (in the right side). Otherwise you have to push update button to save changed settings. "Add new"-button adds a new shortcut with settings defined in the textboxes

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A woman and suspected drug dealer were arrested Saturday after a traffic stop in the Spring area resulted in deputies finding marijuana and narcotics, the Harris County Pct. 4 Constable's Office said.
Demarcus Brown, 25, is charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.
Investigators said Brown was driving in the 22800 block of Cypresswood Drive when he was signaled to pullover. The deputy reportedly found marijuana and several small plastic bags containing cocaine and several items consistent with the sale of narcotics inside the vehicle.
Rebecca Russian, 28, was identified as a passenger in the vehicle. Officers said she was in illegal possession of prescription narcotics.
Both suspects were arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail.
Brown is being held on a $20,000 bond.
Russian was charged with possession of a controlled substance with a bond set at $1,000.

Children's curiosity is sparked with hands on activities, which leads the child to make predictions and hypothesize outcomes. The child, thorough exploration, begins to manipulate their environment to discover new vocabulary and concepts through inquiry. With out student population, it is necessary to provide engaging and authentic experiences to build background knowledge in the area of physical science.
Our intention is to enable the child to take ownership of their learning experiences through observations, recordings, and questioning.
Our vision is to construct exhibits taken from The San Francisco Exploratorium's Science Snack Book for each classroom's students to tinker and investigate. We'd like to replicate demonstrations on Energy, Forces and Motion. In our experience, we've found that it is difficult for our general student population to conceptualize abstract concepts such as force and energy. We look to inspire the children to have conversations about what they experience and have rich dialogue that only happens in this sort of environment.
With your support, this can become a reality in our classroom, and so many students can experience greater learning because of our efforts.

Our final venture for the month was at Mommy Diaries. Ivan playing at the lobby while I am attending a parenting seminar. One thing I like with events like this are the free parenting seminars. Sometimes they will give you freebies as well. My entrance ticket was courtesy of Groupon. I also won a 1-month membership to Curves which I don't know what to do yet.
Ivan is having his glitter tattoo. He selected a fish design.
Next stop was at BGC for the Giant Balloon Sculpture Parade
We're both exhausted and headed home.
Next month or in 2-weeks time Ivan will began semi-formal schooling (nursery level) and I am thinking of staying home most of the time (?) do you think we can do that? because we need to concentrate on his studies but I think he will surely miss our escapades. Ha!ha! just yesterday I received an email regarding the GC I won from mamskiddiefunland . . . hmmm . . . we'll reserve that for Ivan's birthday. Maybe we can tag along ate Ymanne and baby JM.

Briefly and probably not entirely correct but super compensation is the post training period during which the trained function/parameter has a higher performance capacity than it did prior to the training period. ( thanks Wiki)
I have no idea what the time scales actually are ( days, weeks or whatever) but I can usually feel when such a period 'maybe' approaching and can last a day or even up to a week depending how well fuelled my muscles are at the time or how hard I go during that time. I think the last time was about 3 weeks ago and didn't last long at all as it coincided with a huge weight loss program. Last week, in hindsight, must have been the recovery phase as its when I've felt the worst, kept plugging on nice and easy, my speeds relatively slow but also due to the very high pressure system we've had. On my last commute on Thursday I could start to feel my muscles being repaired as the pain had almost gone. The evening commute I hammered it as hard as I could as I had planned a 40mile easy ride but was told to get home asap :). Quite slow again due to the high pressure and very low temps. I ended up doing 10 hill sprints and a 12 min threshold with as little rest as possible, just a couple of minutes rest altogether. 13 miles at 20mph. Comparing it to other rides, when I reached the top of wood street, I was only doing 13.5mph but have done 16mph quite 'easily' in the past yet I really went as hard as I could.
Friday morning I could barely walk so could only manage a 30min spin which was unbelievably difficult but on Saturday I was allowed to play out on my TT bike. Now the air pressure had dropped considerably so that might have had an effect on the 'feel' but I was going fast, for the damp conditions, with little effort. I kept heart rate as low as possible as not to build up lactate but still maintain a good speed. It just didn't fee like I was trying too hard. I ended playtime when the rain started to pour down, I could have gone on for ages. My position looked really low and fast! but super comfy. 20 miles @ 21.9mph.
Sunday 18th March
The legs were itching to go out and ride hard. I readied Scottie the night before as I planned to put a time into Cragg Vale as I hadn't been up for ages prior to last week. I remember a couple of years ago I must have averaged 22mph possibly even higher for the 2nd half of Cragg Vale which would have given me a super fast time but I must have had a massive tail wind and perfect conditions. I actually stood up all the way and ran out of gearing on a 53-12/11? Shame I have no time for it as I didn't have a Garmin then. On waking at 6.30 it was raining, just about stopping and super humid and very cold! About 2-3 degrees. I put Scottie back into hibernation and got my commuter bike ready. Why Jamis? I have, after 3 years of trying, totally perfected my position. Focus bike is new and adjustments still need to be made but not on a ride like this. Took with me 2 gels and 750ml of diet Ribena. Just a cuppa tea was downed before setting off, no food. Wasn't too sure of the distance I wanted to do but it is easily adjustable on how I feel just as long as I get my main objectives in there.
On setting off I was really pee'd off. The air was thick, cold and humid the worst possible combination. My speeds were well down on what I expected but my legs were strong so I decided to take it easy for a while and bide my time as I knew the sun was coming out later in the morning.
Even if I wanted to go faster I just couldn't, was it the cold? the air?humidity? My heart rate hovered around 120 which is quite low. My first task was Burnley Rd from Bacup to Burnley and is a Strava segment. I wasn't breaking any records today due to the head cross wind and solid cold air but I still made it up in a good time, keeping fresh. I was planning that crack at the time up Cragg Vale at some point but since it was still cold (but sunny) I diverted my ride to continue to Halifax to give the air and my legs a chance to warm up.
At the foot of Cragg the temperature had now risen from about 2 degrees to about 5 degrees which wasn't ideal, in fact I wasn't expecting much, but I couldn't be bothered waiting any longer. I thought the Strava segment started further up the climb so didn't get going straight away, probably took me 3 or 4 mins which was my warmup time as I was still cold. I should have hit it from the turning point. *TimeTrialMode* ON. I treated it like a proper TimeTrial and went in 'the Zone' when you block all pain sensations and just go all out for as long as possible. My cadence was really high around 90-100, surprisingly as I tend to churn a big gear up hills but I have no idea what gear I was in. The lower half is the steepest and struggled with the changes in gradient. I like a nice even pace when sitting down. I had to ease off a little on the really steep little section as my heart rate and breathing got a bit out of hand but it didn't take long me me to settle into my rhythm again as the gradient levelled out again. The second half is not steep at all. I tried standing up like I have done in the past and flew up at 20-26mph but I didn't have that tail wind or good air to float up and it felt like I was slowing down. I was content with 18-20mph. I really don't know how or what kep me going but it isn't easy going flat out for 20mins. It felt easier to put the power down than any flat TimeTrials I have done (not many) though. I reached the summit quite content that I had given it my best shot despite the conditions. At least there wasn't a roaring head wind like last week.
Going back down Cragg would give my the recovery time required to get a few more miles in. I had just done 45miles and was hoping for at least another 20-30. Wan't expecting them to be fast miles but under the belt they would be. The air was starting to warm up suddenly, the humidity lowering massively and the difference was amazing. It was easier to keep a more controlled but higher heart rate but my attainable speeds were 15-20% higher with very little effort. The temperature hit about 11-12 degrees in no time. If only I could have waited another hour or so for climbing Cragg! Having no breakfast, just 2 gels and 700ml of water I thought I wasn't going to last any longer but I felt GREAT! I could have just carried on and on but had to get back to see the missus. This could have been due to the low heart rate at the beginning only using my fat stores and having trained to adapt to be more aerobically efficient.I have never done 'base miles' before and all my training has been experimental, I find it difficult to trust other people until I have experienced it myself, but there seems to be something in training at a low HR for long distances as previously I thought they were wasted miles.
90 miles completed on Jamis the commuter in good time, ~5000ft ascent, ride time 4hrs 45min. Quite iimpressive.
So what of CRAGG VALE? 5.4miles of climbing, averaging 3.4% with 1000ft of ascent. Out of 72 riders on Strava I placed second with a time of 19mins 53 and average speed of 16.2mph.
So that completes this week with 340miles done! My weight is slowing dropping off and am now 67kgs. Just contemplating whether I need a rest or not even though I think I could go on forever. Just when I think I'm fading I go and pull one out of the bag ( The day after- Monday my legs are still feeling awesome)

UAE's ship of mercy to sailors at sea faces choppy waters over finances
FUJAIRAH // A ship that offers a lifeline to lonely seafarers is in troubled waters because of a funding crunch.
The Flying Angel docks alongside moored vessels to let sailors use the internet, borrow books from its library, talk to a counsellor or buy essentials from the shop.
Many sailors do not set foot on land for between four months to a year, even if their ships are anchored within sight of land.
They may not be permitted onshore due to ship rules or strict port formalities.
For the more than 2,000 sailors in the Fujairah anchorage who go aboard every month, the Flying Angel is a brief respite from the rigours of life at sea.
"The most difficult thing is the loneliness," said Alexander Lalantacon, 28, an electrician who came onboard with 10 others from a bunker barge that supplies fuel to ships at sea. "I like coming here, making jokes with the crew and watching comedy movies."
Mr Lalantacon will not see his family until the middle of next year and quickly checked his email for messages from his three children and wife in the Philippines.
"I send chocolates and money with friends returning home," he said, filling a blue plastic bag with bars of chocolate and packets of crisps from a tiny shop stocked with phone cards, shampoos, soaps, fishing tackle and snacks.
"We wait for the Angel. It brings us happiness and time to relax."
The ship has been operating since 2007 on funds received from local companies, UAE charities and the Mission to Seafarers in London, a welfare agency that operates seafarer centres in 258 ports in 71 countries.
"As a charity, we rely on voluntary donations to keep the ship going," said Ben Bailey, the mission's public relations officer. "It is no longer sustainable, the vessel is too expensive to run and that is sad because so many seafarers rely on it."
For now, the crew diligently plots daily routes taking them to more than 100 ships anchored off the port.
The radio constantly crackles with messages urging, "Angel, can you come to us today? When?"
The ship calls on five ships daily over six days. Shouts of "relax, relax" ring out when the vessel pulls up near a ship and the sailors climb aboard.
Some queue up in the shop, others lounge on blue cushions and watch television, while many hunch over computers or pore over newspapers in the library.
"It's a unique project and I'm more of a welfare officer here than a chaplain," said Geoffrey Moore, the ship's chaplain. "I'm here for everyone, whatever their nationality or religion.
"I talk to them about their families and get them to open up. They have to trust you. Some crew could be here for six months and they call us up and build a rapport.
"If you get them to laugh, they feel more comfortable."
Mr Moore offers counselling, discussing issues such as piracy and unpaid wages. "We look out for the crew's welfare," he said. "We basically tell them we will be there from start to end."
Alfredo Reyes, a chief officer of the bunker barge, said the crew looked forward to visits by the Angel.
"I like reading newspapers and checking on safety, especially about pirates," he said. "We work hard and Angel helps us stay normal."

One of the things I heard when learning how to drive was, "Don't barrel through intersections." I've rarely heeded that advice while in traffic, but in life it has apparently been a key influence. One of my favorite things about Southern California is that it's one vast intersection, and since I've been here for 13 years, I guess you could say that I haven't exactly barrelled through it.
In fact, here, where land meets sea, mountains meet desert, tomorrow meets next week, space meets place, Sunset meets Vine, I meet a lot of people I would never meet anywhere else. It's a region that, for all its flux and upheaval and rootlessness, makes me feel right at home, a foundation that is based on perpetual change. Mike Davis says Southern California is characterized by the ecology of fear. I call it the ecology of the edge.
For some biologists, this collision of dimensions has resulted in a gigantic experiment called "What's up with the bird population?" It's playing out now--and scheduled for an indefinite run--at your local canyon, freeway underpass, woodpile and riverbed.
UC Riverside/Berkeley wildlife ecologist Tom Scott and a Riverside graduate student are taking advantage of this perpetual experiment with their study "The Avifauna of the Puente-Chino Hills," which is monitoring the effects of the "wildland/urban interface" on some of the avian residents of Pete Schabarum Park in Rowland Heights and other sites.

Inhale... Take in as much air as you can...
"The Guts" is the title of a short story by Chuck Palahniuk which appears in his novel Haunted. There have been some sensational reactions to the story in the United States which is mostly because of its gross sexuality. However what Palahniuk aims for, is not just a fun piece of grotesque and erotic horror.
"The Guts" is not just a bloody tale of the hanging guts of a 13 year old masturbating boy. In fact it is THE bloody tale of a literary genius' having the guts to fire at people's sexual awareness right in the place and face-to-face. What I mean is that Chuck Palahniuk likes to read this short story in public to audiences wherever he goes. And really there are people who faint in disgust and nausea after listening to "The Guts". 73 is the last official faint-toll, and you know what? Mr. Palahniuk brags about that! Just youtube the "The Guts" and you're going to find some of the speeches and seminars in which people listen to Chuck reading his story while some people laugh like perverts and some faint and then you just want to laugh at this sordid dark comedy directed by Chuck Palahniuk.
First of all, if you are too sensitive of gross scenes don't read, because the story has a lot to offer in that! Secondly if you have an acute awareness of social and sexual taboos, again, don't read please. You had the warnings!

Investment firms have learned they must communicate with clients in a time of crisis. (Even a small T. Rowe Price investor like this blogger recently received two e-mailed advisories.) Most clients don't expect advisers to offer solutions; they simply want reassurance that their adviser is paying attention.
Check out Deal Journal, which has used Wordle to convert various firms' 'don't panic" letters into something like art.
