Month: October 2017
Prayer J.A.R. Day 5
Yesterday's prayer J.A.R. challenge was to praise God for who He is and what He has done.
This was interesting because it went deeper than just thanking Him for things that went well during my day. It was quite an experience to think about who He is, and praise Him by all of the names that describe His character: Rock, Provider, Merciful One, Lover of My Soul.
When I got to the "what He has done" part, I didn't think just about the things He has done for me recently, but also the things He has done for me since the beginning of time. Creating me, sending His Son to die for my sins, forgiving me, loving me unconditionally, blessing me when I don't deserve it.
I started thinking about all the little things He does for me everyday. As an example, I thought about if I was crossing the steeet and didn't see a car coming, but God intervened and got the driver's attention so they saw me and stopped. I would probably never know that even happened, but God was there, watching over me.
There's a quote (there always is, right?) about how God is always working in our lives.
God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of 3 of them.
-John Piper
I find that so encouraging! Even when I feel like God isn't doing anything, He is working behind-the-scenes to make everything work together for my good.
Prayer J.A.R. Day 4
Sorry I'm a little behind on posting these. The thing is that I usually do them at night, so I can't post until at least the next morning.
My challenge for day 4, which was 2 days ago, was to pray for the world.
That sounds like a pretty heavy challenge, doesn't it? There's a lot of tragedies happening in the world right now, which means there's a lot to pray about.
As I was praying, I found myself becoming irritated with the world. I obviously wasn't going to blame God for what was happening, so who was left to blame?
People. Us. You. Me.
It's so easy for us to point the finger at God and say, "If He is a merciful God who controls everything, then why is He letting bad things happen?" I know, trust me I do, how difficult of a question that is to answer, and how caught up on it people get.
The simple answer is, it's not His fault. It's because of evil. If you want to blame someone, blame Satan!
You might think, "Why can't God just abolish evil?" Well, eventually He will. It says so in Romans 16:20-"The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet."
Until then, it goes back to the matter of free will, which I posted a quote about not long ago. Though free will makes evil possible, it also makes possible any joy or goodness worth having.
Maybe you've seen the movie Bruce Almighty, where a man played by Jim Carrey is given the powers of God, and told he can do anything but mess with free will.
He tries to use his powers to get his ex-girlfriend to love him, but it doesn't work. But isn't that a good thing? Because would love even be love if it were forced? Doesn't it feel good when someone loves you not because they have to, but because they want to?
Sure, there is a lot of evil in the world, but there is also a lot of good. I'm not suggesting we ignore the evil. I'm suggesting we overcome it with the good. Romans 12:21 puts it beautifully: "Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good."
Conquer. That's such a powerful word. Conquer evil! Be so good that evil just can't stand it!
I would like to close with a quote that was on my mind while I was praying for the world.
People deny the existence of God, and then blame Him for the chaos that ensues.
Prayer J.A.R. Day 3
Today's challenge was to pray for myself. I understand that sounds selfish, but it's really not. See, I have trouble praying for myself. I feel like I don't deserve to ask God for anything. After all, I'm a sinner who doesn't deserve anything He does for me.
The reason I made this a challenge is because I want to learn that it is not bad to pray for myself. I want to feel comfortable bringing my worries, requests, and feelings to him. I want to believe that He cares.
Usually when I pray, I put myself last. I thank God, I confess my sins, I pray for others, and then I pray for myself. Since I do my biggest prayer at night, sometimes I fall asleep before I get to myself.
Today was a great day to have this challenge because it was the first day of my semester. I had a lot to pray about! One of the biggest things is adjusting to school starting, and being in a different country where things are so much different than in America. Also, there are some things weighing on me emotionally, that it felt good to bring to God.
There's a quote that I really like that I often need to remind myself of. It goes like this:
God is not bothered by our constant coming and asking. The way to trouble God is not to come at all.
-D.L. Moody
Prayer J.A.R. Day 2
I was going to post this yesterday, but I ended up not doing the challenge until I went to bed.
Yesterday's challenge was to pray for opportunities to share my faith. That was fitting because I started my semester today, which should give me plenty of opportunities to share my faith.
I took it a step further, and asked God to help me to see the opportunities He gives me, and to give me the courage to start spiritual conversations.
A lot of the friends I've made here claim to be Christians, but I intend to have conversations with them so I can discover what being a Christian means to them. Then I can tell them what it means to me. That's another way to share my faith.
This challenge reminded me of the importance of seeking out opportunities to share my faith.
Prayer J.A.R. Day 1
I know I just posted the Prayer J.A.R. post, but I actually wrote it a couple days ago. I was just having some technical difficulties.
Like I said in that post, I'm going to share how my challenge went each day. Since I'm on my second day, I'll be posting twice today to catch up.
My challenge the first day was to pray in the morning instead of at night.
The reason I wrote that one is because I am a stickler for praying at night, and I thought it could be good to switch up my routine.
I drew that slip in the morning, and since I had prayed the night before, I decided to not pray that night and then pray the next morning.
When it came time for me to go to bed last night, I felt like I really needed to talk to God. I realized that's it's never a bad thing to pray, so I'd pray both at night and in the morning. However, when I prayed last night it wasn't how I usually pray. It was more like venting to God. This morning, I prayed how I usually pray at night. It felt weird.
I did it while lying in bed because that's what I'm used to, but I couldn't focus. I kept wanting to get up and start my day. Plus, it was confusing to pray about yesterday and today at the same time. Usually when I pray at night, I talk about the day I just had.
I probably won't switch my prayer time from night to morning, but I will definitely try to pray more consistently throughout the day.
Prayer J.A.R.
The other day, I was thinking about how last semester my friend would challenge me to pray differently than I usually do. I remember that being a really interesting experience and I thought I'd try it again. One night, when I was praying, God gave me the idea for a prayer jar. You probably think of a prayer jar as a place where you keep your prayer requests. Mine, however, is not like that. Mine is where I keep prayer challenges. It could be a challenge to pray in a certain way, or about a certain thing. When I sat down to write out the challenges, I only had a few in mind. I ended up with 16! I am both excited and nervous to take on these challenges. Tomorrow morning, I will pick my first slip of paper. As I'm writing this, it occurs to me that I could post about each challenge and what I do. I might just do that. For now, here's a picture of the slips of paper with the challenges, and my Prayer J.A.R. It's an acronym because I decided that J.A.R. stands for Jesus Accepts Requests. Let me know what you think of this idea, and if you do something similar. Also, feel free to send me new challenges!
P.S. excuse the white boxes-I wasn't able to remove them

I LOVE Christmas. It's my favourite time of year. I love decorating the house, wrapping up presents, festive movies, even the cheesy Christmas music. Yes, I love it all and I'm not afraid to admit it.
These cupcakes are perfect for this time of year with a flavoured latte of your choice (gingerbread for me!) or a mug of tea. While baking they fill your home with the gorgeous, spiced smell of Christmas. Trust me, you don't need scented candles if you make a batch of these babies!
Sticky Gingerbread Cupcakes from Christmas Cupcakes by Annie Rigg
175g unsalted butter, softened
125g dark muscavado sugar
50g golden syrup
3 eggs, beaten
175g plain flour
3 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt
2-3 tbsp milk
Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Cream together the butter, sugar & golden syrup until light and fluffy. Gradually add the beaten eggs, mixing well between each addition.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, spices and salt. Gradually stir into the mixture with the milk, mixing until the batter is smooth. Divide the mixture between paper cases (no more than two-thirds full.)
Bake for about 20 minutes or until well risen and a skewer inserted into a cake comes out clean. Leave to cool in tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
Meringue Buttercream
200g caster sugar
3 egg whites
250g unsalted butter, softened and cut into cubes
1 tsp vanilla extract
Put the sugar and egg whites in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk until it reaches at least 60oC on a sugar thermometer. (I don't own one so I didn't do this – I just stirred carefully until it was extremely hot and bubbly. Maybe I should invest in a thermometer!) Pour into the bowl of a stand mixer or using an electric whisk, beat until the mixture has doubled in volume, cooled and will stand in stiff glossy peaks – this can take about 5-10 minutes. This is where my KA really comes into its own! Gradually add the soft butter to the cooled meringue mix, beating constantly until the frosting is smooth. If the mixture looks like it is curdling, don't worry – keep beating and it will come together. This is why the texture of the butter is important – it must be soft but not at the point where it is nearly melting. Fold in the vanilla and use immediately.

Elite athleticism and cutting edge science go hand-in-hand.
Throughout recent history, professional athletes the world over have been using the latest science and technology to help them improve performance and gain that competitive edge.
There is now quite the body body of research about the benefits of integrating textured insoles within elite sports regimes – both for performance and rehabilitation.
Athletes recovering from ACL injury
A recent US study found that those using textured insoles to assist in recover from ACL reconstruction experienced improved sensation in their legs.
With so many sports stars hit with ACL injuries that lead to weeks and weeks away from their game, Naboso can play a key role in getting athletes back on track faster.
The Immediate Effects of Plantar Massage and Textured Insoles on Gait in Patients Following ACL Reconstruction
More precise kicking in footballers
A recent study published in the Human Movement Science journal analysed the effect of compression and texture in footballer's socks.
Results revealed that wearing textured and compression materials enhanced performance in key variables, such as the maximum velocity of the instep kick and increased initial ball velocity.
Compression and texture in socks enhance football kicking performance
Injury prevention in runners
This study was published in the European Journal of Sports Science in March 2018, and looked at vertical load experienced by male runners wearing textured insoles.
Repetitive loading is one of the leading causes of stress fractures among runners.
This research study found that wearing a textured insole elicited an acute, meaningful decrease in vertical loading rate in short distance, overground running.

2767th Rome's birthday
Fascinating and accessible secrets of Emperor
The city of Rome has some great news to share with you. The eternal city is celebrating its birthday 2763 years of unique history. Don't miss the chance to stay in the city as there will be a lot of event going on. Rome's birthday is celebrated on the 21st of April, 2010, commemorating the date of Rome's founding in 753BC. Rome will hold several festivals, concerts, and special events this weekend and on April 21. Historical societies put on gladiator displays and performances in and around the forum area. There's usually a spectacular fireworks display by the Tiber River.
There is archaeological evidence of human occupation of the Rome area from at least 14000 years, but the dense layer of much younger debris obscures Palaeolithic and Neolithic sites. However, Rome's early history is shrouded in legend. According to Roman tradition, the city was founded by Romulus on the 21st of April, 753 BC.
This date is also marking the traditional date of Romulus' sole reign. The legendary origin of the city's name is the traditional founder and first ruler. It is said that two brothers: Romulus and Remus (who were raised by a she-wolf) decided to build a glorious city. After an argument, Romulus killed his brother Remus and soon after he named it after himself, Rome.
Probably the best known part of Roman history is the period defined as The Roman Republic. It was the phase of the ancient Roman civilisation characterised by a republican form of government. It began with the overthrow of the Roman monarchy, c. 509 BC, and lasted over 450 years until its subversion, through a series of civil wars, into the Principate form of government and the Imperial period.
It was the most glorious period of this nation, defined by the economic, technological, architectural and cultural golden age. Rome also saw its territory expand dramatically during this period, from central Italy to the entire Mediterranean world. Even in present times the city of Rome is full of signs of vigorous history.
Come to Rome and enjoy the city to the fullest. On the 21st of April, the doors of numerous museums and archaeological sights are open to public, and the streets, richly decorated with flowers, are flooded by sumptuous processions of gladiators, senators, and other heroes of the Roman many-century history. The secrets of Rome has never been so fascinating and accessible. Everyone will be able to find something that they will enjoy.
As this year Rome's birthday comes along with Pasquetta, the whole world will be walking capital's streets. Admission will be free to the museums and places of culture,a lot of fun will be guaranteed, from the Markets of Trajan to the plots of the Big Bamboo to climb in Testaccio.

Specialist translators could soon be heading for job centres across the world if Fuji Xerox makes good on the technology it has developed for its latest prototype photocopy machine.
The device, currently on show [Subscription link] only in Japan, can scan a printed sheet of Japanese text from a newspaper or magazine and churn out a translation of it in Chinese, English or Korean while retaining the original layout. Flip a switch and the linguistic parsing works in the opposite direction too.
Central translation brain
Fuji Xerox's secret lies in networking the unnamed copier to a dedicated translation server and combining this with algorithms that can distinguish between text, drawings and lines for maintaining page layouts.
While the concept of a one-touch translation machine is a wonderful idea for anyone who regularly works in multiple languages, let's hope the technology moves on from the current generation of machine-translation (MT) software that can be seen mangling sentences on sites.

Am I alone ?
Okay, this is the first time I throw this out in the open. I guess it's worth a try. As a single 23 y/o mail I noticed during a party I got amazingly hot and kinky when using a certain party drugg. One time, I started playing with my a*** and it was total extacy. Over the years (now 38), it became a kick to once in a while use the drug and have a solo party , and use biger and bigger d***** analy. Unfortunatly as a man your p**** and b**** schrink to a tiny shadow of what it is normally, but touching and stroking it feels 10x as good. And... I get so kinky I urge to show it all to anyone. This one night an old friend and I took the drug (sober, I could not think of it to do something like that) , we got more naked and naked and eventually, h**** as h*** I told him my fetisch. He insured me I could do what ever feeled good and I started using my d***** in front of him, from small to realy big and wide. It was such a good feeling and experience. Ofcourse the next day I was so ashamed (i'm striaght, but bi-curius) we never met again. So, are there people here with the same fetish, desire or ..

Yesterday, pilgrims and Indians and Freakers and families drank too much and then at some point remembered there was food involved. The best part of Thanksgiving, however, is the moment of clarity where everybody realizes just how thankful they are for whatever it is that they are thankful for.
Here is a complete list of those moments of clarity, Freaker style:
We are thankful for massage trains.

Activity 7: Putting the 'Urban' in Urban Sketching
Location: TBD
Urban sketching, by definition, is always connected to a location. In this activity, we'll make that connection more tangible by using materials we find in the urban environment to create and enhance our drawings. Cities are full of objects — the daily ephemera of urban life that we often don't think about. We'll be putting the city quite literally into our sketch, while being mindful of the composition, format and the stories we are telling. By doing this, we'll be imbuing our work with a concrete sense of place — but also getting comfortable with improvisation. And in the unpredictable world of urban sketching (transport delays? less-than-optimal weather? left your trusty Lamy at home?) that's always a plus!

The training program for responders should include a brief synopsis of behavioral trends and patterns of past offenders through lessons learned. The responder must maintain a general vigilance and should be trained to recognize specific indicators when a suspect is navigating the critical transition from the planning stage to execution of the event. Often these behavioral indicators can vary from counter surveillance (i.e. security measure probes) to planning rehearsals at the location or intended target of the offender. The responder must maintain a continual situational awareness to be able to identify abnormal actions amongst the public as well as outside threats. It is essential that responders be trained with an appropriate level of cognitive tools to identify, isolate, and enact procedures to interdict the incident well before the violent act is committed.
- Long term behavioral indicators (i.e., social isolation, mental health traits, behavioral patterns, obsession with violence and firearms)
- Short term behavioral indicators (i.e., body language)
- Physical indicators (i.e., clothes, age, visitors, passes)

Four-Cheese Stuffed Grilled Peppers
Cheese. Melted cheese. It's probably one of these best foodstuffs on Earth, unless you count chocolate … but then again, I consider chocolate to be more of a medication, per se, than a food.
And besides, chocolate probably wouldn't be very good stuffed inside a grilled pepper. But cheese … yes.
In this case, we've got four different cheeses: ricotta for body and flavor along with tangy herbed goat cheese, plus Parmesan and mozzarella for that melty goodness. As if grilled peppers all by themselves weren't divine enough … now I had to go and get obsessed with this amazing cheese-stuffed version.
I originally saw the idea on Food & Wine's website. Well, actually, first on Pinterest, and then on Food & Wine. And though Food & Wine "perfected this recipe in our test kitchen," we too have played with the filling ingredients in our normal-everyday-person kitchen and grilled them a few times on our humble outdoor barbecue. All in the name of bringing you the best recipe, of course. We sacrifice like that. We're givers.
In fact, we'll probably continue to "perfect" this recipe all summer long. And we think you should too.
[box type="info"] My guy likes to grill a marinated chicken breast to serve alongside his peppers. I love, love, love plopping mine on top of a big mound of baby arugula tossed in a simple lemon vinaigrette.
Also note: The recipe calls for bell peppers, but poblano or anaheim peppers work wonderfully too. Or mix them up and use one or two of each. We tried jalapenos, but they were wayyy too spicy for my tastes … and I generally like some heat!
Four-Cheese Stuffed Grilled Peppers
Grilled peppers stuffed with gooey melted cheese goodness. 'Nuff said.
- 4 – 6 small to medium bell peppers
- 1/2 cup mozzarella, shredded
- 4 oz. herbed goat cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- Pinch coarse salt
- Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
- Equipment
- Grill/barbecue
- 4 – 6 wooden toothpicks soaked in water for at least 10 minutes
- Wash and dry the peppers, then with a small paring knife, cut the top almost all of the way around, leaving it attached but providing a large enough hole to get most of the membrane and seeds out. Carefully lift the top back and remove the membrane bits and seeds inside; discard. (If you accidentally break the top all of the way off, don't worry! We'll address that in a bit.)
- In a small bowl with a fork, mix together the ricotta, herbed goat cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Add the salt and pepper to taste.
- Using the fork, scoop the cheese mixture inside each pepper, filling the pepper. Replace the top and secure with one or two toothpicks (or if the top broke all the way off, just fasten it back on).
- Grill peppers on medium-high heat, about 375 degrees, turning occasionally with tongs. Cook for about 8 – 10 minutes, or until the peppers blister and have blackened lines on all sides, and the cheese mixture inside is piping hot.
- Transfer the peppers to plates and serve.
- You can make these ahead, too – refrigerate up to 24 hours. Just bring them to room temperature – some time on the counter for about 30 minutes should suffice – before grilling.

Alternative ways to fund a Personal Injury claim
Legal Expenses Insurance
Legal expenses insurance is the main alternative to a conditional fee agreement if you want a 'no win no fee' type arrangement. It is sometimes an 'extra' on home or motor insurance, and can be a membership benefit of organisations such as trade unions, clubs and societies.
You can only use this insurance if you had it at the time of the accident, you cannot buy it later and try to use it retrospectively.
Often the insurance only covers accidents relevant to where the insurance has come from. For example, most legal expenses policies on motor insurance only cover legal costs arising from road accidents, and often only for accidents involving the insured vehicle. Policies attached to home insurance are usually wider, covering you for legal costs for claims except road accidents. Membership policies often only cover you for relevant claims, for example trade union cover may only cover you for workplace accidents.
Self Funding
You can of course can also self fund your claim without a 'no win no fee' arrangement or insurance. If you win you could usually expect your opponent's insurers to pay all or most of your legal fees, but if you lose you would have to pay them yourself. You would also be at risk of paying towards your opponent's legal fees of defending the case. Because of the financial risks, people rarely self fund personal injury claims.

VEGAN Vanilla Frosting

Try the basic buttercream recipe and only use shorting and water instead of butter. This is not only vegan and super tasty but is not perishable. 1 cup shorting 4 cups confectioners sugar 1teaspoon vanilla 3-4 tablespoons of water
can you possibly list the cupcake recipe also? thanks for posting!
thanks for posting. my son is severely allergic to milk so i look for milk/butter free recipes to make for him since he loves cake. will give this one a try.
Just need to ask if you guys can clarify the "shortening" that you use? I am thinking it might be "copha" that is here in Australia but not too sure.
That would be vegetable shortening, which is made from soybean oil and cottonseed oil.
Thank you for sharing! Vegan can be tricky, I have forgotten and put butter in it, o ly to have to go out and more powdered sugar and make a new batch!
Sugarpixy, there is no need to post a recipe under another person's recipe. If you would like to share yours, you could post it as a new recipe. BTW, your recipe is the one I use to cover cake dummies, it is not good enough to eat.
OOPS! New to cake central now I know. However if you use the right shortening it is wonderful and and as you can see form my cakes the finish that this gives is superb! I use it all the time and have gotten rave reviews on the taste the cakes stay fresh a lot longer.
I was thinking the same thing sugarpixy. I guess I never thought about creating a new recipe for vegan if you use water and all veg shortening, which I believe was your point. I don't see the need for people to be rude in their comments. I am sorry that as a newbie to the site you had to have such a rude experience. Some people forget what it was once like to not know your way around. And BTW I think that the recipe you gave is good enough to eat, as that is the basic recipe given anywhere you look on the internet.
I was familiar w/ your recp. SugarPixie, BUT Thanks for the reminder. With o much information sometimes we forget stuff we already know. Indeed Fanofcake is correct. No need to slap someone down for trying to be helpful in such a "Sugary Pixieish" way :-).
Thanks you spotted my zealousness Thanks again for understanding.
Since veganism is on the rise, I feel I should note that a true vegan would only use organic sugar and organic powdered sugar since both white sugar and powdered sugar are filtered through charcoal made from animal bones. If you have a "real" vegan they would prefer not to eat filtered sugars.
Sugarpixy I have used a buttercream recipe very close to yours for a lot of my cakes and I always get rave reviews about my icing. Just wanted to add my support to that of fanofcake and samicakeny.
Please be mindful of ingredients, because most vegans would flip out if there were cross-contamination issues. (separate bowls & pans just like gluten free baking). Veganism is often religious based and due to allergies. There are also other animal ingredients to consider: Casein in non-dairy foods like creamer, etc. You may know this, but Trans-fat free isn't the same as non-hydrogenated.
Hi Colliegirl, copha does not give you the same result. The best bets here in Oz are Crisco (available from USA foods) and a wonderful product I have only recently discovered called high ratio shortening Solite, so easy to work with and doesn't turn out slightly grainy like the Crisco.
You can make this soy-free by using the soy-free earth balance and spectrum shortening.
Thanks for posting the Vegan recipe,Cookiexxx,I have Vegans and Vegetarians in the family.
-I add my support to that of fanofcake and samicakeny and LarrytheCakeGuy towards sugarpixy as well.
kellertur, you are right some Vegans are like that. My family members are vegan and vegetarian for concern over animals and how they are abused........ and for health reasons, nothing to do with religion, a couple of them want to know each ingredient and if it is organic etc...... so it is good to be mindful of that especially for a customer.
Does this crust? How does it do with coloring and with being refrigerated? Any special notes about it? Thanks!!

The Fort Negley Visitors Center is a historical education and outdoor recreation center of the Nashville Metropolitan Board of Parks and Recreation. Fort Negley is a place where people and history come together. It is a place to learn that we are a part of history and not apart from it. The visitors center is a resource for exploring the delicate relationship between Nashville and the Federal Government during the Civil War and learning about the site's relevance in the 20th century and beyond.
Fort Negley Visitors Center and Park:
Offers interactive exhibits and two 20 minute videos covering the 1862 surrender of Nashville and the building of Fort Negley.
Includes education panels along paved paths for self-guided walking tours.
Has educated staff and volunteers available to answer questions at the information desk.
Provides programming for school field trips and scout groups, history and nature education events, tours for scheduled groups and living history events.
Offers a great place to walk and bring a leashed dog.
Provides a great view of the city during park hours.
Fort Negley Visitors Center serves as the home of the Nashville Civil War Roundtable and Fort Donelson Camp 62, Sons of Union Veterans.
Our guided walking tour "Fort Negley: A Symbol of Union Occupation" emphasizes the fort's impact on military operations, race relations and occupied civilians through first-person accounts and official records. Interpretive panels located at the fort illustrate life in occupied Nashville, Fort Negley's construction, key political and military figures and a variety of other topics. Boardwalks located within the fort offer students access to the largest inland masonry fortification built during the Civil War and better understanding of design and construction. Fort Negley's commanding position atop St. Cloud Hill, 260 feet above the Cumberland River, provides students a one-of-a-kind view of the city. Please allow a minimum of one hour to tour the fort.
Krista Castillo, Museum Cooridinator at Fort Negley, discusses one of the interpretive panels with a group of students. Fort Negley Visitors Center recommends combining the tour with one or both of the 20 minute films offered.
"The Fall of Nashville" serves as an introduction to Nashville's importance to Union and Confederate military objectives in the Western Theater.
"Defending Nashville: The Story of Fort Negley" focuses on the building of Nashville's fortification system and Fort Negley's role during the Civil War.
Hands On Activities
Fort Negley's staff and volunteers offer a variety of activities tailored to meet your educational needs.
General George Thomas portrayed by Daniel Hughes conducts Fort Construction and Destruction activity with school children. Our Fort Construction / Destruction activity allows students the opportunity to experiment with fort design and construction. Students love building a fort wall from cardboard boxes and knocking it down with projectiles (bean bags) of different sizes and weights.
Our Life in a Civil War Army activity, led by knowledgeable and dedicated reenactors, introduces the equipment, clothing and food used by Civil War soldiers.
Our Basic Principles of Artillery activity illustrates the importance of rifled weapons one the amazing technological advances developed during the mid-19th Century.
Our Defenses of Nashville activity explores the types and purposes of fortifications using illustrations and maps. Suitable for students fifth grade and up.
Each activity lasts approximately 20 minutes.

An al Qaeda affiliate, al-Shabaab, has created a pipeline into Minneapolis, Minnesota to recruit young Somalian Muslims to leave the United States and achieve martyrdom by fighting in their cause. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Congress in January that al-Shabaab was one of the most significant terror threats to the United States, because the group included a "foreign fighter cadre that includes U.S. passport holders… [who] may have aspirations to attack inside the United States." In 2010 Congress estimated there were roughly 40 young men who had joined the terror group.
Two young men, 19-year-old Mohamed Osman and 20-year-old Omar Ali Farah, disappeared from Minnesota in July and trekked to Somalia to join al-Shabaab.
Mahamud Said Omar is on trial for recruiting more than 20 fighters for al-Shabaab in America in 2007. During his trial, three former recruits testified that they were convinced to join al-Shabaab by charismatic, pious older men who promised paradise for them if they died in combat against "invaders."
Although al-Shabaab has suffered losses in Somalia, an African Union official said there is concern that the group would refocus attacks abroad, from Kenya and Uganda to the U.S. U.S. Special Representative for Somalia James Swan has asserted that some of al-Shabbab's group has fled Somailia, but it wasn't clear if they were abandoning jihad or heading to a different al Qaeda-affiliated group somewhere else.

'Vampire Diaries' Video: Elijah Tracks Down Klaus' Enemies In New Orleans
Watch a clip from Thursday's all-new 'Vampire Diaries.' Who's after Klaus THIS time?
Hell hath no fury like Klaus (Joseph Morgan) scorned! In this first-look clip from the April 25 episode of The Vampire Diaries — which also doubles as a backdoor pilot for the show's proposed spin-off, The Originals — Nicky is seen fuming, as he tries to figure out who's "conspiring" against him in New Orleans.
He's met, unhappily, by a dapper-looking Elijah (Daniel Gillies), who informs his older brother that he's already figured out the identities of his secret enemies — but who are they?!
Even though this clip only runs 30 seconds long, it gives me major flashbacks to the very first episode of The Vampire Diaries. I'm reminded of the first scene Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) shared together, which began with those two fateful words: "Hello, brother."
The feisty banter, the smolder-y glances… it's like I'm watching Damon and Stefan 2.0!
More Spoilers From Season 4, Episode 20
Believe it or not, Klaus' enemies aren't his only concern on the April 25 episode. After Klaus reunites with his protegé Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), Elijah discovers that Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) has also made her way down to the Big Easy — and she's fallen into some naughty little hands.

> The assessment process
The CEIP is subject to two assessment and three decision-making processes for the MP and EIS:
- Mine: A mining lease application, including a comprehensive mining proposal (MP) has been submitted for assessment under the Mining Act 1971. A decision on this application will be made by the Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy or his delegate.
- Infrastructure: An environmental impact statement (EIS) for the infrastructure components (including a port, rail line, borefield, power and accommodation village), all of which have been declared a Major Development under s46 of the Development Act 1993, has been submitted for assessment. A decision on this application will be made by the South Australian Governor with advice from Cabinet.
- Matters of national environmental significance: Content addressing potential impacts on Southern Right Whales from shipping movements in the Spencer Gulf has been submitted in the EIS for assessment under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Commonwealth). A decision on this component of the application will be made by the Commonwealth Minister for Environment or his delegate.
The following flowchart shows the process of assessment to be conducted for the CEIP:

EPBC Act
Iron Road referred the actions to be undertaken for the mining and infrastructure components of the CEIP to the Commonwealth Department of the Environment under the EPBC Act.
These referrals were published and public comment was invited ahead of the decision on whether the proposed actions would impact Matters of National Environmental Significance under the EPBC Act and be controlled or not.
The Commonwealth determined that the infrastructure referral was a 'controlled action' and required assessment.
The Matters of National Environmental Significance will be assessed under a bilateral agreement between the South Australian and Commonwealth Governments.
The bilateral agreement allows the South Australian Government to undertake the assessment of the actions controlled under the EPBC Act. The Commonwealth Minister for Environment or his delegate can then rely on this assessment in making his decision on whether to approve the action or not.

This issue of LITTLE IODINE (Vol. 1, No. 9, Dec-Jan 1952, published by Dell and copyright 1951 King Features Syndicate, Inc.) is credited to Jimmy Hatlo. I saw it in an antique store. It was stuffed in an oversized Ziploc bag.
The vervy inking style, the "big foot" style first popularized in the teens and 1920s, is full on display here. The form is well worth studying -- but the plot is very silly. It has some cuckoo coincidences and misunderstandings, but it chugs right along, with Little Iodine trying to do the right thing and her greedy Dad at first mocking her and then becoming a creature consumed with greed.
Even in the first sequence, which is all expositional Iodine/Dad dialogue, look at the different angles. Everything is in motion. And, when doors are slammed, Iodine doesn't stand there: she coils back, her mouth agape in shock. When Dad suspects a fortune is to be made, he doesn't just stand there. He charges up the stairs, with a little puff of smoke, zoom lines and sweat beading off of him (page 7, panel 1).

Hungary's SMEs Are Failing To Prepare For The Future
- 18 Sep 2013 10:00 AM
Lining up the next generation of leaders to run an organisation can ensure that a company continues to thrive but many SMEs are failing to focus on this business critical issue due to a number of factors.
Many SMEs point to the lack of financial resources to tackle non immediate concerns like succession planning, as well as the burden of extra work and the lack of a dedicated people management resource. However, with many countries like the UK, where two thirds of all new jobs created between 1997 and 2007 were in companies with fewer than 50 employees, the economic importance of the SME sector globally, including in Hungary, is all too evident.
The latest Hays Journal explores how this oversight carries clear business risks and how an unexpected departure can take on a more significant impact the smaller the workforce, as the immediate talent pool from which to source a replacement is so much smaller, and the potential impact is so much greater.
Tammy Nagy-Stellini, Managing Director, Hays Hungary says, "You don't need a large HR department to address the challenge of succession planning. It's the job of leaders and managers to answer some basic questions and put the business in a better state of readiness. They need to ask themselves, which roles are critical? What capability exists in them right now? Who are the potential successors? Whatever the business, succession planning can seem like an unnecessary and uncomfortable chore. However, avoiding these occasionally difficult decisions will only create greater risk as the company grows and matures. With that in mind, in many ways, the key to succession planning is just to start."

The Medical Reserve Corps of Monroe County was recognized as Chick-fil-A's Community Partner for November/December!
Our MRC Coordinator, Christina Kempf (left), was interviewed for the award. To view the original post, visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/monroemrc
1. How long have you been the Medical Reserve Corp Coordinator and what exactly is your role?
I have been the MRC Coordinator for only 2 months although the program has been in place since 2012. My role is to recruit volunteers, plan trainings and educational opportunities as well as coordinate our volunteers during training exercises and during an activation (if called upon to respond to a disaster).
2. Please describe the MRC in 2 sentences.
The MRC is a national network of medical and non-medical volunteers, organized locally, to improve the health and safety of their communities. MRC units are a community based way to organize volunteers who are called upon during times of disaster.
3. What drives you daily to continue your mission here in Bloomington and Monroe County?
Most volunteers that show up during a disaster cannot be used. The pre-registering and pre-credentialing of volunteers expedites the process of matching skills with the tasks, thus increasing the efficacy of volunteer assignments and reducing the work of processing volunteers during an emergency.
4. If there were just 2 important facts that you could convey to our community about MRC, what would they be?
There are many reasons to join the MRC such as learning personal and family preparedness, learning a variety of skills, getting involved in your community, utilizing your skills and knowledge as well as supporting emergency operations. There is a place for everyone, regardless of knowledge or background, with the Monroe County Medical Reserve Corps.
5. What is your favorite hobby or pastime?
I love photography, exploring and trying new restaurants.
6. If money were no object, what would you purchase for MRC to make it better?
If money were truly no object, I would purchase a dedicated building to house the MRC program, with classrooms and a hands-on training center / skills building lab to include topics related to many types of emergency preparedness. We would also have a MRC van to take out into the community for educational events.
7. Who is your favorite author?
Most likely David Sedaris. I love laughing out loud when I'm reading his books!
8. How many volunteers does it take for MRC to execute all of it's programs?
There is no limit to the number of volunteers needed. Each situation that arises is different and dictates the type and number of medical or non-medical volunteers we could use. In a true emergency, it's best to have as many volunteers as possible to call on.

High- deformed silica microsphere cavities are fabricated by short laser pulses, where the deformation is well controlled by adjusting the intensity and number of pulses. Using this method, directional emission from whispering-gallery mode (WGM) with a high quality factor of in these microspheres is achieved, and a transition from two-directional to single-directional emission is observed. Such concentrated directional emission and high- of WGMs show high potential for future studies of the chaotic ray dynamics in deformed microcavity and cavity quantum electrodynamics and optomechanics.

People Are Understandably Losing Their Sh*t Over Creme Egg Crodoughs
I'll start with an apology to anyone who is trying to give up sweet, delicious treats for Lent.
In great news for everyone else – or at least people who live within a commutable distance – East London's Rinkoff Bakery is now doing Creme Egg crodoughs
These unbelievably delicious sounding pastries are made by frying croissant dough, injecting Creme Egg fondant into the middle of the dough ring and then topping it off with more fondant and a mini Creme Egg.
They're now available until March 26th and – in what is possibly the best news of all – you don't even have to travel because you get them through Deliveroo.
It sounds like you'll have to be quick though. Rinkoff bakers told Metro that they only make a limited amount each day and – obviously – they always sell out with people often buying two or three at a time.
There is some good news though. If they do sell out there's a whole host of other epic flavours to choose from.
They also have a S'mores crodough filled with Nutella and topped with soft marshmallow.
Or there's the one filled with salted caramel and topped with pistachio.
Even the peanut butter and jam version is too much to cope with.
I may as well just start mainlining sugar directly into my eyeballs…

A giant octopus, size of two San Ildefonso type ships, dragged your precious Principe de Asturias under the water and crushed it like a paper boat. A creature that you thought only existed in myths and legends. Thanks to your unbelievable lung capacity and fast reflexes, you survived. Your ship was only the vanguard, the main armada will be here in any minutes. You can't let the same thing happen to them. If the octopus destroys them as well, the Portugese army will gain a momentum in the area and that would mean a huge loss for the Spanish treasury. You found out the reason why the creature's on a rampage. Her child, a little octopus stucked in a jar and can't come out. If you free him, his mother will calm down. Good luck!

When i was young i read twice about a news where there's a festival on Phillipines, where a bunch or group of men student on college campus naked together , covered their face with masked and march around the campus and the female student can free to watch it even their brought a camera to take a photos of a bunch of male naked student and the worse is it was LEGAL and held everyear.
Well i know pretty much about their culture, this is not like Europe this is country where majority of people are religious and dislike when a female a women sexy at public.
So THE REVERSE SITUATION like THIS will never ever HAPPENED!! Not atleast they still used bikini, Not atleast their are in their neighbour country-which most are Muslim.
Yes it's ONLY SEXIST WHEN MEN DO IT !
If men see female with bikini on Southeast Asia campus it will count as harrasment to women. Feminist will loose their shit "oh this is degrading women", everybody will get outrage.
But if situation reverse a women see a male student even naked publicly on campus like in this true news "YOU GO GIRLS".
That's why i can't take seriously an Asia feminist logic !!!
This is INJUSTICE
Atleast if women are allowed we men are allowed too!
Or both of them are prohibit…
We can't have double standard like this its wrong and sexist…..
And i hope there's a stranger that read this agree with me!

Learning from an intrepid pioneer: integrated care in North West London
by Judith Smith and Gerald Wistow for the LSE Health and Social Care Blog
There is broad agreement in policy circles that integration of health services and social care is something that really should be sorted out, and soon. Evidence from the Nuffield Trust and LSE evaluation of the largest of the original 14 National Integrated Care Pioneer sites announced by the then Health Minister Norman Lamb in 2013 suggests that this is in fact much more difficult than it might at first appear.
Our research – from February 2014 to April 2015 – sought to provide an independent assessment of the way in which the WSIC programme was designed and implemented in its early stages, and how far it was on track towards achieving its objectives. It was commissioned by Imperial College Health Partners (ICHP), and funded by ICHP and the collaboration of clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in North West London.
WSIC's territory stretches out from Westminster to the outer suburbs and comprises two million people with significant variations in their levels of deprivation and health status. The programme brings together a complex web of agencies including eight clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), seven local authorities, nine hospital trusts, four providers of mental health and/or community services and over 400 GP practices.
We found that the North West London approach to developing integrated care was large in scale, ambitious and very well resourced, when compared with other integrated care pioneers. This was reflected in the scope and scale of its management and development resources, its extensive programme for co-designing new models of care, and the impressive commitment it showed to involving local people and organisations in its planning and governance.

New ways to engage with research evidence
Evidence-Based Practice: why aren't we doing it?
By Andre Tomlin for the Mental Elf
It's 20 years since evidence-based medicine (EBM) first hit our shores (Sackett et al, 1996) and in that time we have seen this approach to practicing medicine move from a position of heresy to one of absolute orthodoxy. So how come we're not all doing it?
A decade ago I was struck (in the billiard room) by Dr Glasziou with an Evidence Pipeline. I've never felt quite right since. It's a simple idea, that there are seven stages along which evidence needs to travel, in order to reach patients. Even with good (i.e. 80%) adherence at each stage, the chances of evidence reaching practice is only about 21%.
Our own recent White Paper has highlighted the avalanche of reliable research that buries all of us working in mental health every day (Badenoch et al, 2015). Clearly, finding relevant and reliable evidence remains a huge challenge, but just as important are lack of time, the motivation to engage with research, skills to appraise and understand evidence, and the wherewithal to use research in practice. This evidence-based practice malarkey is hard!
The conclusions of our White Paper were:
- The currency of our knowledge degrades over time
- Research is inaccessible to the majority who don't have the skills to appraise it or use it in practice
- It's impossible to keep up to date with the quantity of research now being produced
- We need accessible, usable and reliable summaries of new evidence

Backlash against "pinkwashing" of breast cancer awareness campaigns
BMJ 2015;351:h5399
Each October, breast cancer awareness month provides an annual focus for pink ribbon themed campaigns—many of which are backed by commercial partners eager to be seen to support a worthy cause.
The pink ribbon began as a grassroots movement, with survivors wearing ribbons to show solidarity with each other.1 But it was quickly appropriated by commercial businesses such as Estée Lauder and breast cancer organisations, led by the US based Susan G Komen Foundation, to show support ranging from financial donations to goodwill.2
The amount of cash raised with commercial backing can be substantial. America's Breast Cancer Research Foundation, founded by former Estée Lauder senior vice president Evelyn Lauder, has raised £207m ($320m; €280m) in donations since 1993. Asda's Tickled Pink campaign, meanwhile, has raised £44m for Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Now since 1996.3
However, commercial involvement in breast cancer campaigning has drawn criticism from organisations such as US group Breast Cancer Action (BCA), which works to raise awareness of the more questionable cause related marketing activities by businesses, known as "pinkwashing."
BCA, which runs an initiative called Think Before You Pink, is critical of the inappropriateness of some commercial partnerships—one engineering firm produced pink drill bits for fracking, for example4—and lack of transparency about how much money companies actually donate. And it condemns an overemphasis in campaign messaging on breast cancer screening.

Patient falls in hospitals: An increasing problem
Geriatric Nursing: Volume 36, Issue 5, September–October 2015, Pages 342–347
Despite six decades of worldwide efforts that include publishing virtually hundreds of related epidemiological-type studies, there has been an increase (estimated to be 46% per 1000 patient days from 1954–6 to 2006–10) in the number of patient falls in hospitals and other health care facilities.These still occur most frequently near the bedside or in the bathroom, among mentally confused or physically impaired patients, and often involve those with greater comorbidity.
The reasons that hospitals during the past half century have demonstrated a significant increase in patient falls per discharge or per patient days are numerous, are not completely surprising, and are certainly interrelated: improved accident reporting systems; on the average older, more impaired, more acutely ill, and more heavily sedated patients; and, less time spent by nursing personnel at the bedside.
Most safety committees are not as effective as they should be, since they have difficulty in implementing a long-term, aggressive, facility-wide prevention program. Within that context, it may be worthwhile to discuss the advantages of nursing leadership rather than a representative of the facility's management staff to chair these safety committees.
Commissioning excellent nutrition and hydration
New guidance to raise awareness of the importance of good nutritional care
NHS England has today published new guidance to help ensure patients receive excellent nutrition and hydration care.
The guidance has been produced to address the issues raised within 'Hard Truths' and the Francis Report; and to the concerns of patient, carers and the public with regard to malnutrition and dehydration.
Malnutrition is still a concern for the health service and is more common than many people expect – affecting more than three million people in the UK at any one time.
Around 1 in 3 patients admitted to hospital or who are in care homes are malnourished or at risk of becoming so.
Poor nutrition and hydration not only harms patients' health and wellbeing, it can also reduce their ability to recover and leads to increased admissions to hospitals and care homes.
The new guidance draws together the most up-to-date evidence based resources and research to support commissioners to develop strategies to help ensure excellent nutrition and hydration care in acute services and the community.
It also outlines why commissioners should make this issue a priority – how to tackle the problem, how to assess the impact of commissioned services and highlighting the good work which is already underway.

The climate talks that concluded in Bonn on Sunday have succeeded in re-igniting the negotiating process towards a global climate deal, four months after the chaotic and traumatic ending of the Copenhagen climate conference.
The Bonn meeting was in a way a "healing process" during which many governments that were hurt by being left out of a secretive meeting of 25 political leaders in the sidelines of the Copenhagen conference could air their grievances.
Many delegations and groupings pledged in Bonn that they would not allow such an untransparent and undemocratic procedure to happen again.
The three days in Bonn were both tense and intense. The meeting concluded with a clear work plan for the rest of this year - three more meetings to prepare for the next Climate conference in Cancun in December and that a new draft text of the outcome will be prepared by May by the Chair of the working group.
But the most important results were the intangibles – the restoration of enough trust among the countries that they can work together in the fight against climate change, and a reaffirmation that the UNFCCC is the central venue for global climate negotiations.
Behind the procedural issues are major issues of substance. Can there and will there be a global deal on climate change? When will that be achieved? What will be its contents? And will it be adequate to address the crisis?
The new deadline for completing the talks is supposed to be this December, at Cancun. The developing countries pressed for many meetings to be held before then so that work can proceed, but the developed countries have been reluctant, signalling that a deal cannot be done by then.
This is a reversal from last year when the developed countries, especially in Europe, were adamant that there must be a deal by the end of 2009, otherwise there will be grave consequences for the world's survival.
This change of attitude from frantic urgency to apparent complacency is most likely due to the gloomy fact (not openly expressed in Bonn's meeting rooms) that the United States Congress is unlikely to pass a climate bill this year as there just isn't the political capital at present to mount a successful campaign for it.
And without the US on board, other developed countries do not want to make final commitments at the UNFCCC on how much they themselves will cut their emissions. So the world is waiting for America – and it could be a long wait.
Bonn also discussed how future meetings should be conducted. Many developing countries do not want a repeat of the Copenhagen fiasco. The Africa Group, represented by Democratic Republic of Congo, told the meeting: "We saw the sidelining of the multilateral process, the emergence of a secret text put together by a selected few that later became known as the Copenhagen accord and the blatant attempt to discard the Kyoto protocol. These mistakes fundamentally broke the trust that is very necessary for any partnership that aspires to be successful and enduring to work."
For the developing countries, it was the deviation from the UN's democratic procedures that caused the failure of Copenhagen, and not the procedures themselves. Participants at the Bonn meeting agreed that the UN's transparent and inclusive procedures should be used in the future.
Another problem was the grossly inadequate emission-reduction pledges made under the Copenhagen accord by developed countries. Bolivia's Ambassador Pablo Solon brought this into the open by pointing out that the crisis in the present talks is mainly caused by this low ambition level.
He said that under the Copenhagen accord, the developed countries have pledged to reduce their emissions overall by only 13-17% by 2020 from 1990 levels, when what is required is a cut of 40% or more.
Solon, citing a European Commission report, said the pledges are even worse if loopholes are taken into account, as they would then be in line with a rise in emissions by 2.6% (in the worst scenario) or a cut by 2% (in the best scenario). That points to a global temperature rise of 3C to 4C, when the rise should be restricted to below 1.5C or 2C to avoid catastrophic effects.
Many intense and stormy meetings lie ahead between now and Cancun and beyond. The Bonn meeting succeeded – just – to re-establish the UNFCCC as the premier venue for global climate talks, but the relations among the countries are still extremely fragile and it will need a lot of will and skills to build up a genuine cooperative effort to tackle the climate crisis.

Phantasee cosmetic lenses for Halloween
Another day, another terrifying close up. And no, you haven't been drinking – or, maybe you have, but that's not the reason my eyeballs are looking funky…
The peeps at visiondirect.co.uk sent me a pair of party-perfect "Phantasee" cosmetic lenses, just in time for Halloween.
I must be honest and say that I'd asked for the Dracula option (natch), which would have finished off my vamp costume perfectly on Wednesday; the Grim Reaper style that actually turned up is very cool but they are (scarily!) not that different to my real eyes. I tried to scare Eliott when he was having a bath by leaping in with the lenses in full effect, but it took him ages to notice anything different (he just thought I was being my usual weird and wacky self and carried on washing his hair).
|Can you tell the difference? I think the flocked skull top is more alarming than my peepers
Having said that, they were fun and easy to try – I've never worn a contact lens in my life and have always quite fancied trying coloured ones (violet appeals to me). Now I've got the things in and out of my eye sockets successfully, I might just try them again.
With thanks to Vision Direct

Terrible run this morning
Saturday, May 19, 2012
Today, I officially finished my 5K your way training program. Never mind that I ran my first 5K (at the Bronx Zoo) 3 weeks ago and I actually ran most of it (with a few short walking breaks). I should have been able to finish the 5 week program before my Bronx Zoo 5K but life got in the way so I was only in week 3 by the time the 5K arrived. But I'm not one to quit AND I *really* wanted that SparkPeople trophy (yes, I'm extremely competitive by nature). So I've been using the last 3 weeks since my race to finish up the remaining 2 weeks I had left on the training program.
Ideally I'd like to run more often than I have but I just haven't been able to with my schedule lately. I'd like to go back to running 3X per week, especially since I've got another 5K on May 31st. And even though I now know that I can run 3.1 miles, I've been more or less using the run/walk intervals from the 5K training program. I find running continuously still to be rather hard and I think the biggest problem still is figuring out the pacing. For the Bronx Zoo 5K, I managed to pace myself really well by finding other runners going at a pace I felt comfortable with and syncing my pace with theirs. It's much harder when you're out by yourself. I run with music however so I'm wondering if I set up a dedicated playlist for just running that I might be able to do better with pacing. I'll have to experiment with that. So basically, I still have to figure this whole pacing thing out.
I don't usually go running in the morning but this afternoon we've got a party to go to (more on that later) and it's going to be hot today. The forecast is for a high of 80 and plenty of sun, which will just make it feel hotter. So I wanted to get out there before it got too hot. I realized there is one additional benefit to running at the Duck Pond. Since it's by water and the trees provide shade, it tends to be cooler than everywhere else. I also realized that if I do 3 longer loops around the Duck Pond, it's exactly 5K. So now I have a good way to measure my pacing.
Even though I got to the Duck Pond at 9:30 am, it was still hotter than I prefer for running. It made things hard. And I must also be allergic to something there that releases their pollen in the morning. Towards the end of the run, I had to stop and walk because I could barely breathe. The congestion was terrible and I had even taken allergy meds (OTC) before I went out. I think it's time to finally see my doctor regarding my allergies. I need better or different meds or something. I hate not being able to breathe when I run.
I've also been lucky so far in that I've never felt sick or anything during my runs. I usually eat a banana or an English muffin or a granola bar beforehand and I feel fine. But today, my husband had made coffee since he had gotten up early (again, more on that later) and I had half a cup along with my English muffin an hour before I went out. Of course I used half and half in my coffee. I think it must have been the half and half that made me want to puke when I was in my last loop-around. Thank goodness I had hardly anything in my stomach. Otherwise, I would have been sick in public.
So today was not my best run. I didn't feel great afterwards like I usually do and was just so thankful it was finally over. But hey, I finished it. I really wanted to quit after 1 loop around but I forced myself to keep going. And you know what, loop 2 became that much easier. And despite my desire to puke and/or the inability to breathe, I still managed to complete the 5K in 36 min. I still have a lot I've got to figure out when it comes to my body and running but things can only get better from here, right?
So the party we've got later is a birthday party for my mother-in-law's 60th birthday. She knows of the party but she doesn't know the extent of how big this is going to be or the fact that so many of her friends she hasn't seen in awhile will be there too. The biggest surprise however will be that my sister-in-law Amy will be there. My husband Mark travels a lot for work and has a ton of airline miles. Since Amy couldn't afford the ticket out here, Mark used his miles to buy her a ticket. That's why we were up early this morning, to pick up Amy at the airport. I'm really excited for today. I know my mother-in-law is going to be beyond thrilled to see Amy.

I wrote in a blog the other day about my recent decision to KEEP walking intervals as part of my run/walk routine. I feel so much better when I walk/run. Check out the Galloway Method.
When I started to train, I bought myself an Ironman watch. It has lots of handy features that might help with your pacing. The interval feature really helps me with my pacing.

I believe you are being much to hard on yourself. Forget the competitive stuff. I had been an athlete all my life before I lost control of myself. I played football in the ACC, and amateur competitive tennis. I keep it all in focus now. Your first 5K goal should be to finish. You set a standard and you work from there.
Patience is something we all have to master. I was one week behind in my Half Marathon training. I did my Half and now I compete with myself. I always tell people be thankful that you have the ability to run. Period! Continue to set the time to run 3x a week. It just gets easier and easier.
For a long time, I never thought I could ever do it. I'm thankful that I can every race I run. And I am so proud to cross that finish line. Oh, I stated running at 60. I'll be 62 on May 25. Now get out there and embrace that run every time you put your shoes on. I wish you all the best, listen to your body, and be well!

We've all had those bad run days. It could have been the heat, possibly the coffee, maybe the allergy medicine. I have found that all of those factors affect me one way or the other. Soon you'll learn which things to avoid before a run and how to cope with the heat. But the good news is, Hey You Did It!!
Now you can relax and enjoy the party and the next run will be better than ever!

we all have good days and bad days.
you ran, even though you didn't really feel like doing it (victory!)
you kept running, even though you wanted to stop (victory!)
you ran over 3 miles (victory, victory, victory!)
pacing is difficult for me too. When I first started running, I ran to LOTS of Bob Dylan music to keep my pace slower. I have several RUN folders on my MP3. I need to set up a few RACE folders.
I know there are various websites that will give you lists of music with the BPM that you want, but I've never used that. It would probably make things easier.

Here is a terrible little poem I made just for you, with apologies to Daniel Powter. Sung to the tune of "So You Had a Bad Day."
Because you ran a 5K
You taking one down?
You wanted to quit but you didn't back down!
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
It make have been cream but the pollen was high
You ran a 5K!
The scale don't lie:
You're at your goal weight and getting better each time...
You run a 5K,
You ran a 5K!
I hope your party was great! Congratulations on getting that 5K Your Way Trophy, you really earned it today!

A couple of shots from the last few days.
On Sunday night, as we were leaving the family for our B&B, we saw the most amazing sunset. Luckily I had my camera and shot this out of the car window. The blogger was driving.

Yesterday we drove down to Mt Martha to have lunch with friends. He took us down to the local beach where I finally saw those colourful beach huts up close.

Then we drove back on the coast road to Rye, where the kids were getting ready for a game of cricket outside in the street.
