The Deck Loading Ship "LCT 378" capsized and sank off the town of Catarman in the western side of Camiguin Friday afternoon, January 9, 2015, in light to moderate seas spawned by the northeast monsoon that is locally known as amihan. Various reports put 26 or 28 crewmen have been rescued at sea by the passing "Tong Ying", a big bulk carrier owned by Da Tong Shipping and managed by Ever Gain Shipping, both of Qingdao, China. "LCT 378" and "Tong Ying" are both MMSI-equipped. MMSI stands for "Maritime Mobile Ship Identity", an automatic system for identifying and calling ships and land stations.
She was a Mongolian-flagged Deck Loading Ship owned and managed by Cebu Sea Charterers of Cebu. She was chartered to carry limestone from the Philippine Mining and Service Corporation (PMSC) in Garcia Hernandez, Bohol to the sintering plant of Philippine Sinter Corporation in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental.
The vessel was built by Jiangsu Longli Heavy Industry in Yangzhou, China. She has the ID IMO 9706982 with MMSI Code 457 900078. She measured 87.76 meters by 17.0 meters with a depth of 4.3 meters with a cubic volume of 1,770 gross tons and a usable space of 991 net tons. She was powered by Weichai and developing 900 kilowatts.
Open-decked ships carrying earth or ore have been known to capsize in rainy weather and rolling seas. Liquefication and shifting of cargo similar to" free surface effect" can happen in these conditions. Even the carrying capacity of the vessel measured in deadweight tons can be exceeded with the addition of water.
The Coast Guard has promised an investigation into the sinking.

Cyclical stock(redirected from Cyclical Stocks)
Cyclical stock
Stock that tends to rise quickly when the economy turns up and fall quickly when the economy turns down. Examples are housing, automobiles, and paper.
Cyclical Stock
Stocks that tend to do poorly when most of the economy as a whole is performing poorly and vice versa. Cyclical stocks may represent publicly-traded companies that are perceived to be luxuries or that sell expensive products. For example, car companies sell expensive products (cars) that many people perceive to be necessities. However, because they are expensive, consumers in bad economic times may decide to wait to buy cars until the economy improves. On the other hand, car companies tend to do rather well when the economy is doing well.
cyclical stock
When should I invest in cyclical stocks?
Common stock of a firm whose profits are heavily influenced by cyclic changes in general economic activity. As investors anticipate changes in profits, cyclical stocks often reach their high and low levels before the respective highs and lows in the economy. Compare countercyclical stock.
With the proper crystal ball, you should buy cyclical stocks six months before the earnings in the target group begin to move up, and sell the group six months before the earnings turn down. Note: Most crystal balls are cloudy!Steven Flagg, Senior Vice President—Investments, UBS PaineWebber, Mount Kisco, NY
Cyclical stock.
Cyclical stocks tend to rise in value during an upturn in the economy and fall during a downturn. They usually include stock in industries that flourish in good times, including airlines, automobiles, and travel and leisure.
In contrast, stock in industries that provide necessities such as food, electricity, gas, and healthcare products tend to be more price-stable, as do companies that provide services that reduce the expenses of other companies. Those stocks are sometimes called countercyclicals.

Great Britain's wheelchair rugby players qualified for the 5th place play-off game tonight after beating Belgium at the Basketball Arena.
The British team's medal hopes disappeared through a Pool A defeat against Japan yesterday. But they were back on court this morning, and despite a hesitant start they recovered strongly to post a 54-49 success.
Aaron Phipps scored 28 goals, while there were 12 for the impressively-consistent David Anthony.
Although Britain were edged out in the first and fourth quarters, dominant second and third quarter displays proved significant.
They will now place Sweden or France for fifth spot, while the race for medals continues later today when Australia tackle Japan in the first semi-final, followed by reigning Paralympic champions the United States meeting Canada.

text: John F Kennedy prior his assassination [Corbis/Getty Images] President Donald Trump has said he will release all documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F Kennedy, except those with the names and addresses of people who are still alive. "After strict consultation with General Kelly, the CIA and other Agencies, I will be releasing ALL #JFKFiles other than the names and addresses of any mentioned person who is still living," Trump wrote in a series of tweets, referring to his chief of staff John Kelly. The assassination of President Kennedy has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories. President Trump has said the public has the right to be "fully informed" about the event. President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, as he rode in a motorcade through the streets of Dallas, Texas, in an open-topped limousine next to his wife Jacqueline Kennedy. Elected in 1960 as the 35th president of the United States, 43-year-old Kennedy became the youngest man and the first Roman Catholic to hold that office. The US government has released 2,800 previously classified files on the assassination, but some documents have been withheld at the request of government agencies. Following the assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald, a former Marine and self-proclaimed Marxist, was arrested. On November 24, he was shot dead in the basement of the Dallas police department by Jack Ruby, a local nightclub owner. The shooting was captured live on television. One memo revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had warned police of a death threat against Oswald. "We at once notified the chief of police and he assured us Oswald would be given sufficient protection," writes the FBI director J Edgar Hoover.

Excmo Sr. Augusto Pinochet Ugarte
El Presidente
Edificio Diego Portales
Santiago, Chile
Dear Mr. President,
During our visit with you on Friday, March 21, to discuss the economic situation in Chile, you asked me to convey to you my opnions about Chile's economic situation and policies after I had completed my visit. This letter is in response to that request.
May I first say how grateful my wife and I are for the warm hospitality that was showered on us by so many Chileans during our brief visit. We were made to feel very much at home. The Chileans we met were all aware of the serious problems your country faces; all realized that the immedaite future was going to be difficult; but all displayed a determination to surmount those difficulites and a dedication to work for a happier future.
The key economic problems of Chile are clearly twofold: inflation, and the promotion of a healthy social market economy. The two probems are related--the more effectively you can invigorate the free private market, the lower will be the transitional costs of ending inflation. But they are also distinct: strengthening the free market will not end inflation; ending inflation will not automatically produced a vigorous, innovative free market.
The source of inflation in Chile is crystal clear: government spending is roughly 40 percent of the national income; roughly one-quarter of this spending is not matched by explicit taxes; it must therefore be financed by creating new money, with is to say, by the hidden tax of inflation. The inflation tax which is currently called on to raise an amount equal to 10 percent of the national income is therefore extremely heavy--a tax rate of 300 to 400 per cent (i.e., the rate of inflation)--levied on a narrow tax base--3 to 4 per cent of the national income (i.e., the value of the quantity of money in Chile in the form of currency and demand deposits).
This inflation tax does enormous harm by inducing people to devote great effrot to hold down their cash. That is why the base is so narrow. In most countries, developed and underdeveloped, the quantity of money is more like 30 per cent of the national income than 3 to 4 per cent. in terms of total spending, which is a multiple of income, the money in Chile amounts to only about three days' spending, which forces hand-to-mouth operation on the business system and strangles the capital market.
There is only one way to end the inflation: by reducing drastically the rate of increase in the quantity of money. In Chile's situation the only way to reduce the rate of increase in the quantity of money is to reduce the fiscal deficit. In principle, the fiscal deficit can be reduced by cutting government spending, by raising taxes, or by borrowing at home or abroad. Except for borrowing abroad, the other three methods will have the same temporary effects on employment, though affecting different people--cutting government spending will initially affect government employees; raising taxes will initially affect persons employed by taxpayers; raising borrowing will initially affect persons employed by the lenders of the persons who would otherwise have borrowed the funds.
In practice, cutting government spending is by far and away the most desirable way to reduce fiscal deficit because it simultaneously contributes to strengthening the private sector and thereby laying the foundation for healthy economic growth. It will therefore involve the least transitional unemployment.
A cut in the fiscal deficit is the indispensable prerequisite for ending inflation. A less clear question is how rapidly inflation should be ended. For a country like the U.S., where inflation is around 10 per cent a year, I favor a gradual policy of ending it in two or three years. But for Chile, where inflation is raging at 10 to 20 per cent a month, I believe gradualism is not feasible. It would involve so painful an operation over so long a period that I fear the patient would not survive.
There is no way to end the inflation that will not involve a temporary transitional period of severe difficulty, including unemployment. But unfortunately, Chile only faces a choice between evils: a brief period of high unemployment or a long period of high--though slightly less high--unemployment. I believe that the experience of Germany and Japan after World War II, of Brazil more recently, of the post-war readjustment in the U.S. when government spending was slashed drastically and rapidly, all argue for shock treatment. All suggest that the period of severe transitional difficulties would be brief--measured in months--and that subsequent recovery would be rapid.
To ease the transition and facilitate the recovery, I believe that the fiscal and monetary measures should be part of a package including measures to eliminate obstacles to private enterprise and to relieve acute distress.
For definiteness, let me sketch the contents of a specific package proposal. My knowledge of Chile is too limited to enable me to be either precise or comprehensive, so these measures are to be taken as illustrative.
If this shock approach were adopted, I believe that it should be announced publicly in great detail, to take effect at a very close date. The more fully the public is informed, the more will its reactions facilitate the adjustment. Herewith the sample proposal:
1. A monetary reform replacing the escudo by the peso, with 1 peso = 10,000 escudos (or, perhaps, 1,000). By itself, this measure accomplishes nothing substantive; but does have a valuable psychological role.
2. A commitment by the government to reduce government spending by 25 per cent within six months, the reduction to take the form of an across-the-board reduction of every separate budget by 25 per cent, the personnel separations to take place as soon as possible, but the spending reductions to be spread over a six-month period to allow for the payment of generous separation allowances. (Any attempt to be selective is likely to be defeated by the machinations of each agency to have the cut bear on someone else. It is desirable first to cut across the board, then redirect the lower total.)
3. A national stabilization loan from the public to supplement the reduction of spending during the first six months in order to permit a faster reduction in money creation than in spending. The terms should include provision for inflation readjustment to give the public confidence in the government's determination to end inflation.
4. If possible, a stabilization loan from abroad for the same purpose.
5. A flat commitment by the government that after six months it will no longer finance any government spending by creating money. (As economic recovery occurs, the desired quantity of money in real terms, i.e., the quantity consistent with stable prices, will rise, but this increase should serve as the base for the expansion of a private capital market rather than be used to finance government spending.)
6. A continuation of your present policy of an exchange rate designed to approximate a free-market rate.
7. The removal of as many obstacles as possible that now hinder the private market. For example, suspend, with respect to newly employed persons, the present law against discharged employees. That law causes unemployment. Remove the obstacles to establishing new financial enterprises. Eliminate as many controls over prices and wages as possible. Wage and price controls are not measures to cure inflation. They are one of the worst parts of the disease. (Remove obstacles, but do not substitute subsidies. Private enterprise is entitled to receive the rewards of success only if it also bears the penalties of failure. Every businessman believes in free enterprise for everyone else, but for special favors for himself. No obstacles, no subsidies should be the rule.)
8. Provide for the relief of any cases of real hardship and severe distress among the poorest classes. Note that the measures taken will not of themselves harm this group. The discharge of present government employees will not reduce output but simply eliminate waste--their discharge will not mean the production of one fewer pair of shoes, or one fewer loaf of bread. But indirectly, some of the poorest classes will be affected and whether they are or not, the program will be blamed for their distress. Hence it would be well to make some provision of this kind in the program. Here, especially, my ignorance of the present situation and arrangements in Chile makes it impossible for me to be specific.
Such a shock program could end inflation in months, and would set the stage for the solution of your second major problem--promoting an effective social market economy.
This problem is not of recent origin. It arises for trends toward socialism that started forty years ago, and reached their logical--and terrible--climax in the Allende regime. You have been extremely wise in adopting the many measures you have already taken to reverse this trend.
The end of inflation will lead to a rapid expansion of the capital market, which will greatly facilitate the transfer of enterprises and activities still in the hands of the government to the private sector.
In addition, the most important step is to free international trade so as to provide effective competition to Chilean enterprises and to promote the expansion of both exports and imports. This will not only improve the well-being of the ordinary Chilean by enabling him to obtain all items at the lowest cost; it will also lessen the dependence of Chile on a single major export, copper. Perhaps the greatest gain in this area would be obtained by the freeing of the importation of motor vehicles.
I know that your administration has already taken important steps and plans further ones to reduce trade barriers and to liberalize trade, and that as a result Chile's true competitive advantage is better reflected in its trade today than for decades past. This is a great achievement. I recognize also that in this area, a strong case can be made for gradualism in order to give Chilean producers an opportunity to adjust to the new conditions. However, gradualism should not mean standing still. Personally, I believe Chile would be well advised to move toward liberalization of trade more rapidly and to a far greater extent than has so far been proposed. Complete free trade is the desirable final goal, even if it cannot be achieved in the very near future.
May I close by saying that I am persuaded that Chile has great potential. It has an able, literate, inventive, and energetic people; it has a long history and tradition of an orderly, peaceful society. Some forty years ago Chile, like many another country, including my own, got off on the wrong track--for good reasons, not bad, because of the mistakes of good men not bad. The major error, in my opinion, was to envision government as the solver of all problems, to believe that it is possible to do good with other people's money.
If Chile now takes the right track, I believe it can achieve another economic miracle, that it can take off into sustained economic growth that will provide a widely shared prosperity. But to benefit from this opportunity Chile must first surmount a very difficult transitional period.
Sincerely yours,
Milton Friedman

I hear them say America needs to make American goods. Cost more money than good old China. So what? You want your jobs? You're going to have to pay!
I hear them say poor people of color are thugs, thieves and rapist. Why is that? Is it because bigots with axes to grind are blindly hired. Vet and train your cops a hell of a lot better or else we all have to pay.
I heard them say abortions are evil and they need to shut those clinics down. Then guarantee a nation of fathers that teach their boys how to be good men. And girls get the attention they need from their fathers instead of paying for love with sex. Promise no more incest, molestation, degradation and bodily humiliation! Because it does exist! Will you mandate that law or is the price too much to pay?
I heard them say the poor are lazy parents at best! Is it because our single mothers work 2 and 3 jobs? Give them family leave and a damn living wage! Hey boss man, you're going to have to pay!
I heard them say, keep those Muslims out. Well this Christian loves all good people. Especially the different ones from herself. What will it cost to keep and take them in. I will happily pay!

I took the express train from Incheon Airport to Seoul Station becos I need to deposit my luggage there before making my way out of Seoul. I will be staying in Hongdae when I am in Seoul. I chose to deposit my luggage at the Premium Pass Travel center in Seoul Station becos they open at 8am. The ones in Hongdae open later.
Information and pictures are easily available online eg Theseoulguide Indeed taking the express train was much more comfortable as you will be guaranteed with a seat. In addition, you need not faced the crowds unlike the all stop train especially after a 6 hours flight journey, I need a peaceful rest. I did not book the ticket in advance cos just in case there was some delay. I bought the ticket at Incheon Airport and showed them my Asiana boarding pass to enjoy a discount for the train ticket.
Just a side note, I bought my EG sim card from Changi Airport before my flight. The staff activated for me(just before the queue built up. Phew). I have always used EG sim card during my trip but this time, I couldn't have any access to data until maybe half a day later when I reached Korea. I experienced no data access twice for more than half a day. Eg Sim card was unable to give me an answer as well.
From Seoul Station, I took the subway to Yongsan Station to take KTX to Jeongeup Station. Oh! I still have not mention where I was heading to. I was heading to Jeongeup for Naejangsan ^^ My KTX train departed from Yongsan Station at 9.50am and reached Jeongeup Station at 11.24am.

CoreLogic and Lender Processing Services
(LPS) have each released their most recent Home Price Indices. CoreLogic's HPI covers December; LPS's covers
the month of November. Here is a quick
review of each.
LPS found that the average home price
for transactions during November was $199.000, down 0.6 percent from the
October average. This is the fifth consecutive
month that this index has declined.
Preliminary information on December sales indicates that the HPI might
have lost another 0.8 percent during that month.
When the market peaked in June 2006 the
total value of the U.S. housing inventory covered by LPS was $10.8
trillion. The value has declined 30.6
percent to $7.5 trillion since that time.
Price changes were consistent across the
country, increasing in 13 percent of the ZIP Codes in the database. Higher priced homes had somewhat small price
declines than those in the middle and low price categories with the range from
high to low covering only 13 basis points.
CoreLogic issues two sets of indices,
one including sales of distressed properties, the other excluding those
sales. The HPI for all sales decreased
1.4 percent in December and was down 4.7 percent on an annual basis, the fifth
year in a row that this HPI has declined.
The Index covering market sales was 0.9 percent higher than in December
2010 which, Core Logic says, gives an indication of the impact distressed sales
are having on the market. The HPI excluding distressed sales posted its first month -over-month
gain since last July, rising 0.2 percent.
the top 100 Core Based Statistical Areas as measured by population, 81 showed
year-over-year declines in November compared to 80 that were down on a monthly
basis in November compared to October.

Hi Everyone!
Well we start our week off with the enthusiasm of the New Moon/Partial Solar Eclipse Energy and keep a firm eye on the Full Lunar Eclipse later in the month January 21st, 2019. According to the Inner Temple teachings of Wisdom…you are finding yourself called to "Unprecedented Expressions of Your Soul" and you are not quite sure how to navigate it all yet!
Welcome the help from the Universal consciousness during this week's teeter-totter Energy and KNOW that you can stabilize the "keel of the SHIP" and you can align with the Major steps that each of you are taking now. Blocking you? Your heart centre veils may be the area for you to explore. This is the target of healing for most and the important focus that goes long past this week's Energy mention. This year must call to task the recognition of the brilliance of your own heart and the mandate set out before you in life through deliberate peaceful living.
What's a mandate? A call to your Self-Realization, an awakening to the Truth of your Soul essence taking active steps to integrate it into your life and a conscious application through natural means into the world in varied expressions. Inclusive of this definition should be an ability to know when to apply/assert…and when to pull back in and reflect/conserve.
These are truly unprecedented times for our human race and we are realizing more and more just how "alive and Cosmically Intelligent" our planet is, the kingdoms and species and the importance of raising our children in a manner that is conducive to preservation of our environment. Equally important if not more…is the importance of the adults as parents and teachers/leaders and administrators to take responsibility in doing their own part.
Each week I am going to be making mention of the ongoing accelerating Energy shifts and opportunities to be aware of as we blossom like the Lotus Flower and open our own petals to the real meaning of Life! Start to simplify your life; make it easier to live with contentment and time for spiritual practice.
There is no gain in chasing any excessive material items…for they will bog you down. Keep things simple and perhaps begin leading by example. The young eyes are watching you and truly do need us all to learn conservation of Energy. You are ENERGY…let it shine! We are all connected and to be wholesome we need to understand how important a balanced system is. Listen carefully within to your "calling". The NEW MOON set the stage for you to start NEW project this week; new liberations of Self and gained Self Realizations! Practice your new paradigm…even if with just one small step!
Enjoy the week ahead!
In Light and in Peace,
Do the STARS have messages for you? Yes…the do!
- https://worldhealingacademy.com/a-course-in-star-wisdom/
- Course starts this month! 6 classes in person or long distance!

So here I am at 5am, having not slept since 2 oclock. Lovely. Now I need to decide whether to get up and snooze later or try and sleep now but miss half the day by not waking up til lunchtime. I'm hoping for the former, hence posting here.
Christmas has been lovely so far. I woke up at quite a respectable 7.30 on Christmas Day. Gone are the days of awake at 5, up at 6, though this is quite nice as it means the day isn't half over by 8am. Jon and I opened each others presents here, which was lovely as it's our first christmas together, both living together and being married. I then headed off to mum's and he headed off to his parents-I'm not quite ready to spend Christmas day away from home yet! At mum's there was a very fine breakfast of cinammon pancakes (a break in tradition due to my body's sudden aversion to scrambled egg!), followd by more present opening. I got some beautiful presents from family and friends (including a very fine pair of midnight blue velvet dungarees from Jon-what more could a girl want?!), so I've done pretty well. More importantly all the gifts I've given this year seem to have gone down well, especially the Track Day that Jon and I bought mum. I can't wait to go watch her do that! Christmas Day itself was very quiet, as it's just me and mum, but it was actually quite nice to just laze about and relax, especially as the build up to Christmas seems to have been particularly manic this year! We had a lovely dinner of venison stew about 5oclock ish and then settled in to an evenings christmas TV viewing, from Doctor Who (victorian themed and corsetry-perfect) to Downton Abbey (poor Cousin Matthew). A thoroughly lovely day all round.
Boxing Day was lovely and chilled as well, not to mention mostly spent eating! We went to Jon's parents in the afternoon and spent many a happy hour eating more lovely food and watching How to Train Your Dragon, which was great. Consequently I now want a pet dragon.
Today will in theory be spent attacking the sales with Mum, though this is assuming I don't fall asleep and miss them entirely. I do wish it were already daylight-I'd be much more inclined to get up and do things, or at least go out for a wander. The dark and wet is less than tempting though. Still, I shall go get my book and if I finish that then it should take me nicely up til dawn…

At least I'm giving you fair warning, which is more than fellow Bravo Whore kitchener gave me when she sprung this web find on us. (And get ready to rewatch the Springhill Suites commericial until you can recite it).
Christian Siriano starts us off, and how charming is he? He was made for TV, I swear. He even speaks in sound bites.
Then, it's Tim Gunn, Heidi Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia who sit down with Newsweek editors Ramin Setoodeh and Jessica Bennett for this mammoth interview.
I watched it all, but I'm that way. Nothing new or surprising — Nina loves her heels, Tim has no love interest in his life, Michael swears by aviator sunglasses, and Heidi dresses her children in Speedos when at the beach, just to give you a taste of it all.

As many of you know, although I am unmarried, I wear a stacking of rings on my left ring finger—yeah, you know that finger. I can't recall why I first slid them on, but the rings have been a sort of a metaphorical place holder for the past 3-or-so-years. To be quite honest, I have spent the last four years in two different relationships so I have been technically "taken" just not exactly married off in the big white dress amongst swans, a violinist, and members of my family I wish I didn't have to invite. I also liked the feeling of being in a different category, and in that way inaccessible to men whereas in the past I felt like the male attention aimed at me made it seem like I was somehow too available. I liked the feeling of being mysterious, unattainable, and in a sense safe from looks, advances, and the daily douchebag encounter—or so I thought.
This brings me to the topic of today's post: Married Subway Sneaks. Feeling joyously free from a lot of the unnecessary attention I used to get from random men, these days I sit quite confidently and relaxed on the subway—well, unless there are creepy peeps or crackheads making a racket or acting psychotic. On one of these typically peaceful subway rides whilst listening to my iPod at full blast I started to feel that unmistakable wolf stare, you know that hungry look that strangers give you on public transportation to let you know that they're interested? As I gradually looked up to see whose radar was on me, I was shocked to notice that it wasn't a sleazy construction worker teeming with testosterone, nor was it an aggressive baby thug full of feigned bravado. Nope, it was a quintessentially normal married dude in jeans, sneakers, and a blazer whose insatiable gaze had disturbed my once-peaceful subway ride into Manhattan. When I got off at Chambers Street I could still feel him watching me walk away, his eyes burning a hole into my ruffled mini dress, his visual appetite pulling the zipper down.
Once I noticed this married F-Train Romeo stealing glances at me I began to see that this wasn't a one-off encounter. The closer I paid attention, the more I realized that myriad married men were looking at me on the subway. All types of hitched former bachelors were making eye advances at me. Was there an unspoken agreement between spoken-for urbanites that I wasn't privy to? Was this a worldwide phenom, or just a New York thing? Does this happen to other ring-wearers fully immersed in the married life or was I merely an easy target because I haven't truly crossed over to the other side yet? Whatever the case, I felt like I had definitely tapped into a secret world of stolen subway glances between outwardly coupled parties and it made me wonder why it feels strangely safe and OK for these men to express interest and attraction to someone else in their same marital status. Does it somehow make it right to eye-stalk someone who is also skirting the line of adultery?


text: Gender divisions start at a young age. The children in this picture do not depict the characters in this story [Getty Images] The boys' voices were getting louder. The argument over who had the best design for a sampling probe had devolved into an argument about who's idea was "just really stupid". I sat in the science class, surrounded by Lego at a table designed for eighth graders, listening preoccupied to their argument. My mind was elsewhere, fascinated by the only girl on their team, who was doing something remarkable. My presence in that classroom two decades ago was the result of a nearly two-year journey. As an anthropology student at The College of Charleston, I had designed a project to try to understand the high attrition rate of underrepresented students in mathematics and science. My idea: problem-based learning on cooperative teams, rather than the lecture-based and competitive approaches common in schools. Each class would choose a semester-long problem and a mission to solve the problem, including what "success" meant. To illustrate the variety of work, collaboration and teamwork go into science, the only stipulation was they had to define cooperative teams. "Our team is going to be the best," one boy in my first class immediately announced. "Then you will fail," I responded gravely. "This is how science works," I said to the class. "There is no final exam here. There is only the mission. You succeed at the mission, and you all pass. But if your team thinks it's the best while another team fails, then the mission fails. And if the mission fails, every one of you fails this class." It was a grave message to give to eighth graders. It was also a rather audacious project and one that took some convincing to institute. The first school principal I brought it to laughed me out of her office, telling me that I should return when I had a degree and an understanding of how to teach children. Fair criticism, if short-sighted. Problem-based learning was certainly nothing new by the late 1990s, but it had yet to enter the gestalt of the South Carolina school system. Very quickly, I began to feel like the mythical Cassandra, holder of an important truth no one would believe. Time and time again, I was rejected, but I knew deep down in that place where all unknown and untested truths are known and need no test, that my idea would work, so I was undaunted. After all, I'm an American. Our heroes - in both our history and our fiction - are dominantly men (we're not so keen on women) who did whatever crazy thing they wanted to do, despite everyone telling them not to. WATCH: Oliver Stone: "Petraeus is no hero" READ MORE: Luke Cage - How a black boy became a superhero Fighting the system The United States loves the underdog, the dissenter who fights stupidity, or oppression, or both until he arises, at last, victorious (and completely unaware of the collateral damage). That tale is instilled in us as canon before many of us know how to read. It's basically the US' origin story. So when faced with rejection by "the system," I simply fought the system harder. Finally, a middle school in a Charleston suburb gave me a spot for my first class. That class, enthralled as they were with the then current news of the Mars Pathfinder, chose a similar project. They created teams to do research, public relations, funding, logistics, and the team I was sitting with during the argument: robotics. The Robotics team consisted of three boys and one girl, Kristen Valles*, who joined the team despite the fact that she "couldn't help much because [she didn't] know anything about robots". It was Kristen whom I was so absorbed in watching. The argument had devolved further from "your idea is stupid" to "you're stupid". Against the backdrop of this invective, Kristen pulled oddly shaped Lego pieces out of the boxes on the table. I thought she was simply playing, doing the Lego equivalent of doodling, until she leaned back and silently tested a working sampling probe designed fundamentally differently than anything the boys were arguing about. I looked at the boys to see if they realised what had happened, but they were all oblivious to her actions and indeed her very presence. When I looked back at Kristen, she was just as silently deconstructing her work. Then she sat quietly and waited for their argument to end. In four classes over three years, that gender acculturation would play out so many times one could think it staged. If two or more boys were together, they would argue over who was right. It was as if every boy lived in his own American Cassandra myth, sure that he held the truth, and ready to fight until he was victorious, despite the collateral damage. Girls, by contrast, would most often just solve the problem. It was common to have girls suggest they try another person's design and then try theirs - a tactic I thought was based on confidence in the other's failure until (with remarkable slowness) I recognised that it was actually an efficient way to avoid an argument by giving another person voice, while simultaneously testing all solutions to find the best. At their heart, science and engineering are not about being right, but about solving problems. It looked to me as though girls obviously had the better strategy for solving problems. The boy's core competency seemed to be fighting. WATCH: Pick Your Teacher: Democratic Schooling in the UK READ MORE: 50 Cent, Johnny Cash and the history of hip-hop Diversity and inclusion Recently, one of those argumentative boys - not one of my former students, although he could easily have been - wrote a manifesto at Google challenging diversity and inclusion initiatives. Too many analyses have already been written for me to think I can nail a coffin lid to a horse carcass. I'm rather more interested in the broader response itself. Of the text, one sentence, in particular, struck me: "When it comes to diversity and inclusion, Google's left bias has created a politically correct monoculture that maintains its hold by shaming dissenters into silence." Here, again, we see our beloved origin story: the brave dissenter, challenging stupidity and oppression. Unfortunately for lovers of that story, the truth is much more mundane, if more uncomfortable. It is ironic that Google would be seen as a politically correct monoculture. As a company it is something like two percent black and embroiled in a legal battle with the US Department of Labor over "discrimination against women [that] is quite extreme, even in this industry". And Google is not alone, it is merely toeing the party line of the supposed left-leaning Silicon Valley, which is a hi-tech centre that apparently specialises in the creation of headlines on everything from sexual harassment to employees paid so little they are forced to live in garages. And lest we criticise Silicon Valley alone, it is simply toeing California's party line, which banned affirmative action programmes in the late 1990s and destroyed minority college enrollment rates, effectively removing any hope of solving the supposed "pipeline problem". California, meanwhile, is really just following the great American standard. Our biggest success in all aspects of diversity is the self-congratulatory suggestion that we look at "how much better it is than 50 years ago". It's understandable that the manifesto's author would see things this way. Many who question diversity are rarely conscious of the homogeneity of their immediate surroundings. Our tragic Cassandra feels shamed in a monoculture populated almost entirely by the US' holy trinity: straight, white and male. It would be comically ironic, if it weren't so frustrating. I have no doubt the author is surrounded by groupthink liberals whose knee-jerk reaction is mob-like ostracism. Any black American knows that scene as the most mundane American drama. The overlap of racist realities with liberal demographics is generations old and points to an uncomfortable truth those liberals often find too easy to ignore. Sadly, "diversity" is the new "politically correct," and we all know what a disaster that has become. What was intended as a way to learn a modicum of cultural sensitivity became that wretched assurance to white people that if they said African American instead of black, they were not racist - despite their actual thoughts or actions. Many white people's understanding never gets further than "What's the right word to call negroes now?" So much of what we hear as "politically correct" is the result of one white person telling another white person what "the right word is," while both are too nervous to ask, or worse, too unconcerned to learn anything from the people they are talking about. READ MORE: What if your identity was a lie? 'Genetic differences' Diversity can easily live out a similar existence as a check mark on white America's to-do list if it follows a similar methodology of white men wanting to feel good about themselves without inviting anyone else into the room. Scanning news articles and Medium posts about the Google manifesto illustrates this danger. One immediately notices the overwhelming number of white male responses focusing on what the author did or should have done. Contrast this with the (fewer) number of responses from women, most of which focus on their own experiences. I would agree there is probably an echo chamber in Google, I just seriously doubt it is echoing anything but the US' status quo. The juxtaposition between the stated core values espoused by Google's senior leadership and the stunning lack of diversity in their employment allows only the most willingly blind observers to trust their motives. It is impossible for any thinking person to believe that a company whose core competency is essentially "the ability to find anything" would be totally stumped on how to find a single black engineer. The only reasonable conclusion is that they have no real desire to do so. In his letters from the Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King Jr shamed the white moderate, those of a liberal mind who sided with the oppressed in concept, but who did little to help - or even obstructed - their progress. This is similar to how I see much of liberal America, and certainly much of the technology industry. Diversity is a nice idea in concept, but it can wait for "a more convenient season" - that season likely being after a company's exit strategy or possibly as a settlement of its sexual harassment lawsuit. I agree with King's frustration at the white moderate. At least the manifesto author - and by proxy, the conservative establishment - is honest about the lack of concern for achieving real equity in underrepresented groups. Like King, I would rather deal with his absolute misunderstanding than with the shallow understanding of much of liberal America. The former is at least an unfair fight I might labour to make fair. When Dylann Roof killed nine innocent people at Emanuel AME church in Charleston, liberal white America was quick to condemn him as an evil individual, not indicative of any broader social construct. As if the Confederate flag flying over the South Carolina statehouse meant nothing. As if the mass incarceration of black men for generations has meant nothing. As if generations of redlining home ownership in liberal white communities has meant nothing. Liberals asked why he did it, never asking "Why have I allowed this?" Liberal white America saw in Dylann Roof an other, abhorrent and unlike them in every way. Yet he was an outcome of so much that America - even liberal America - promotes and yet shirks responsibility for. Dylann Roof was an extremist supported as much by the soft silence of liberals as by the racist uncles they share the Christmas table with and do not openly oppose for fear that doing so might make the holiday dinner uncomfortable. I see a similar disingenuousness in the outcry about this manifesto. Are we so willingly blind that we honestly expected anything less? If so, it's remarkable how easy it is to condemn the evil other when we can use that to avoid facing our responsibility for the society we ourselves have created and work to maintain. The opinions of the manifesto and the assurance that "they certainly do not reflect our core values" are both core American conceits. During my anthropology research over three years, nearly all eighth-grade girls I interviewed indicated they were not good at science and mathematics - even those planning to choose it as a career. Those girls decided they would simply have to work harder or, in the words of one heartbreaking response, "maybe not be as good, but still do my best". By contrast, most boys thought they were good at maths and science. Even more to the point, most boys thought that girls were not as good as boys at maths and science. Let this sink in: By the age of 10, the US has successfully conditioned her boys to assume that girls can't do maths and science, at least not as well as they can. Suggesting women aren't suited to hi-tech jobs because of "genetic differences" is something any one of my 10-year-old boys would have written. Girls aren't as good, it's innate, no big deal. That author is little more than a mindless drone thoughtlessly promoting the core message of The American Cultural Machine. Yet our knee-jerk reaction is to condemn him for being The Evil Manifesto Author so we can sleep well knowing the lack of representation and support for underrepresented groups has nothing whatsoever to do with our own actions or lack thereof. Google's solution was to fire him, make a weak statement about "core values," and get back to working on that discrimination lawsuit. Rather than ostracise him into martyrdom, I'd rather his manifesto be ignored - or used as an example to teach other 10-year-old boys - while we move forward on actually doing the hard work of social equality that we should, but obviously are not, doing. At the very least, we should stop dramatically shouting about his wrongness as if we don't implicitly support both his fundamental position and the atmosphere that gave to its publication. Unless you're a brown-skinned lesbian without a trust fund, you need to admit you have some skin in his game. Even I, as a straight male, am complicit. This was made clear to me two decades before it was even written in the way I embarrassed the only girl on a team by thoughtlessly calling her out in front of her classmates. "Not one of you saw what Kristen did," I said, stupidly unaware of her discomfort. "While all of you were arguing, she built a design better than all of yours. Kristen, why did you take it apart?" "They were arguing," she said, "so I thought their designs were better." None of them were, but they were willing to fight. And one of them was eventually chosen, because the boy who designed it was confident, assertive, and most of all kept fighting. In the end, Kristen voted for his design, too. That's a tragic lesson I never meant to teach: Who the beneficiaries are of our cultural biases. In the US, he who argues loudest and longest reigns victorious, regardless of the collateral damage.*Name has been changed John Metta has Bachelor's degrees in geology and anthropology and Master's degrees in geography and ecological engineering.

Earlier this week, I asked for help in naming my iPod Shuffle. Today, I'm asking for help in what to do with some Christmas money. I've pretty much decided I'll be buying a third pair of Altra shoes (review here). I love the shoes, they fit my feet, and frankly, my toes have never been happier. So I want more in my closet to help build up my rotation before my Saucony shoes get retired. I have a few already nearing the end of their running career.
So what do I need help with if I've already decided I want another pair? I need help in decided which ones to get. I've ruled out the Adams just because I'm not quite ready to run in shoes that are that minimalist. That leaves the Instincts and the Lone Peaks. I have a pair of each already. The Instincts are a great road shoe and I can always use more. The Lone Peaks are a great trail shoe and after seeing how dirty my pair are right now, a second pair in the wings would be nice to have while the first pair dry out.
My dilemma is that the Instincts come in grey or black. I already have a pair in grey and I don't like black shoes. The Lone Peaks come in one color, which I already have. So I don't know if I should go with a different color in the Instincts to make it easy to tell them apart of if I should just get another pair in grey. Same problem with the Lone Peaks except I could get them in a half size smaller since my current pair is a size 11 and I wear a 10.5. So they'd be the same color but different sizes.
Argh. I don't know where this post is going. I guess I'm trying to talk myself into facing my own obsessive compulsive need to have shoes in different colors just so I can tell them apart to make tracking my miles easier. Feel free to chime in with any ideas or suggestions on how to handle things. Besides looking for a therapist. I already know I need one of those. Thankfully running is cheaper.
There is a small glimmer of hope on the horizon though. Altra is now asking their fans what colors they'd like in 2012. A glimmer. I'll take it and run. Meanwhile, I'll be awaiting your suggestions.

Linux support, sales, and migration
Linux is an operating system (think an alternative to Microsoft Windows) developed largely by volunteers, with an enormous range of free software available for it, and which we fully support. The Linux advantage means:
- Low cost. Most distributions of Linux are available for nothing at all. That means no per-seat or per-user licenses; just burn a CD or create a USB stick and install it on as many computers as you like (or get us to do it for you!).
- Open source. The code for Linux and nearly all software that runs under Linux is publically available. This means more reliable code because of peer review. What's more, you will never be locked into a single vendor.
- Industrial-strength reliability. Linux will run for months, and even years, at a time without needing a reboot.
- Security. Linux does not get viruses. There is no spyware or adware for Linux.
- Enormous amounts of free software. Thanks to amazing package management tools, these can be installed without even needing to open a web browser to download them -- everything from office suites, to web servers like Apache, to enormously fun video games like Sauerbraten can be installed with a few mouse clicks.
Linux support
While it has traditionally had a reputation for being hard to use, Linux has come leaps and bounds in the last half-decade or so in terms of usability and hardware support. There is also a whole wealth of free support options such as forums, mailing lists and so on.
Nevertheless, for the same reason our many clients don't want to support their Windows installations themselves, you might want a guaranteed, paid-for support service for their Linux systems. At AJ Computing, we can handle that for you, whether that means one-time call-outs or long term support contracts. Contact us to discuss your requirements (or in an emergency).
Linux migration
Many businesses and individuals have at least heard of the Linux option, and find the combination of renowned, industrial-strength reliability and low-to-free cost (especially the lack of per-seat licensing). We can advise you on hardware support and how to migrate your existing data from other systems. A few scenarios:
- A room full of obsolete computers that need upgrading: No problem; Linux will run on obsolete computers. With a typical number of machines, we can save you hundreds on Windows licenses and thousands on computer hardware by switching them to Linux. (We've successfully run Linux on basic-specification computers from 2001; our web developer runs Linux on a computer made in 2005, and we only recently retired a server that we used to test our websites before we put them online: a 200mhz Pentium from 1997!)
- You want to switch a few computers to Linux: No problem; we can help you integrate Linux systems into Windows environments to make them work seamlessly with each other. Want to integrate Linux mail servers, or Linux file servers into a Windows environment? We can do that for you.
- Ditching Windows altogether and migrating to Linux: We can help you with that too. If you need help with migrating your data into open source systems, we can do that for you. Even if that requires writing custom software to help you migrate you from legacy systems, we're more than willing to do that for you, too. Contact us.
Linux PCs, servers and laptops
Some of the options which AJ Computing can supply, install and support:
- Linux based PCs and laptops, either those pre-installed with Linux by the manufacturer, or, to widen the range available, simply choose any new computer and we can install Linux as an alternative to Windows.
- Custom Linux PCs configured to any available specification, with Linux preinstalled as the operating system - saving the cost of purchasing a Windows license for your new computer.
- Pre-built Linux servers. Pre-built servers often have no operating system giving the ideal base to install Linux as your server operating system and saving large costs compared to Windows Servers. Custom Linux servers can also be designed and assembled according to your needs.
Contact us with your requirements.
Linux netbook support
Yes, we support Linux netbooks too! Netbooks - which are simply small portable laptops designed primarily for wireless communication and access to the internet - are becoming very popular. Many manufacturers install Linux on these laptops to reduce costs (and because Linux has the advantage of running faster on the lesser spec machines). The downside is that not everyone is familiar with troubleshooting the few common Linux problems, with which we can help you. We can also teach you the basics of using the operating system, installing software, and so on.
(A common problem is that some suppliers say that the "Linux operating system is not compatible with mobile broadband dongles.". This is not so (even if it is tricky to get them to work), but many people will give up that point thinking there is no way forward to get their broadband 3G/GSM dongle to work. Instead, contact us and we can resolve the problem for you.)

The Markit Eurozone Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) composite output hit a 40-month low, falling to 45.8 down from 46.1 in September, according to a preliminary 'flash' reading based on roughly 85pc of usual monthly replies. Reuters had forecast a PMI of 46.4.
Manufacturing saw the steeper downturn of the two sectors, with slightly weaker rates of decline in both business activity and new orders in the service sector contrasted with faster contractions in the goods-producing sector.
The combined output of the two sectors has fallen continuously since September last year, with the exception of a marginal increase in January.
Markit chief economist Chris Williamson said that while official data had shown "surprising resilience" over the summer compared to the survey data, the underlying business climate has "clearly deteriorated markedly" in recent months.
He said: "The survey is running at a level which is historically consistent with the region's economy contracting at a quarterly rate of over 0.5pc.
"While GDP may decline only modestly in the third quarter, a steeper fall looks to be on the cards for the fourth quarter.
"The financial markets may have cheered the positive developments from policymakers in seeking to resolve the region's debt crisis, notably the promise of bond market intervention by the ECB, but business appears to have been less impressed."
The economist also noted that sentiment about prospects for the year ahead were now the "gloomiest" since early-2009.
"In addition to worries about the health of domestic markets, companies are also seeing demand weaken further afield, notably in Asia and, to a lesser extent, the US," he said.
These worries, he added, were translating into further job losses, suggesting companies were moving increasingly into cost-cutting mode.
Germany, the largest economy in the eurozone, is not immune, with October seeing the first back-to-back monthly fall in employment since early-2010.
The country's PMI Manufacturing fell to 45.7 points in October from 47.4 points in September, against expectations of 48.
France, the eurozone's second largest economy, saw output fall only slightly more slowly than in September, suggesting that the country remains in its steepest downturn since early-2009.
A worse performance was again seen outside of France and Germany, however, where output fell on average at the fastest rate since May.
This extended the sequence of sharp decline that has been evident throughout the past year.

Basic pop and rock accompaniment patterns
This article is for people who wish to learn how to accompany a singer, or their own singing.
When you play accompaniment, you just play the bass and the chords but not the melody of the song.
Of course, different styles have different requirements — in Jazz, you wouldn't even play the bass, for example. The patterns I present here are suitable for pop and rock music.
The prerequisite is that you know how to do voice-leading. We'll use voice-leading to go as smoothly as possible from one chord to the next (no big jumps).
Here are the chords for the first phrase of Let It Be by the Beatles, in the key of G:
G D When I find myself in times of trouble Em C Mother Mary comes to me
The most rudimentary accompaniment would look something like this:
The right hand plays each chord twice and the left hand plays a single bass note at the start of each measure.
You quickly release the damper pedal at the start of each new measure (i.e. when the chord changes) and then press it down again.
In case you don't know how to read sheet music, download the MIDI file for this example and follow along with vanBasco's Karaoke player.
Here is a pattern that I play a lot that suits this song very well:
It sounds more impressive if you play an octave bass in the left hand. This might take some getting used to but it's worth learning.
You play the octave bass with your left hand pinky and thumb. Under your index finger is the 5th of the chord. You can play this instead of the repeated octave:
You can play all kinds of patterns using the bass octaves and the fifth. For example:
If you can play bass octaves, then these kinds of patterns should be easy: you keep your hand steady and just alternate between your pinky, your thumb and your index finger. Experiment!
For more intensity, you can play triplets in the right hand. A triplet is 3 notes played in the time it usually takes to play 2 notes.
You can play it slowly:
Or fast like Jerry Lee Lewis:
If you play it fast like this, it's often best not to use the damper pedal. Use your own judgment to hear what sounds best.
There you have some very basic patterns. In a future article we'll talk about more advanced things that you can do in the right hand, but this should get you started.
I encourage you to experiment with different rhythmic patterns between the bass and the right hand chord. Don't think about this too much: just feel it.
For example, something like this: MIDI example
I played the same chords from the above examples and the same bass notes (octave bass + fifth) but in a different rhythmic pattern. I didn't plan this pattern in advance, it just came out that way. Experiment!

You're awesome
lesson is great and easy to follow. hope you could show other rythmn patterns.
Great site, thank so much. Since you don't use base in playing a jazz accompaniment for a soloist, what method would you use. The most basic.
Thanks a lot man!! It helps me A LOT!
So I sing
When I and play G find myself in D time of trouble
Em mother Marry C comes to me.
Is that right? Please reply
and thank you a lot
thank u for ur love and I really appreciate it as it gave me insight to the piano. Thank u again. Is not that I can play piano perfectly yet, but I can't play and be singing at the same time. What ur advice to me.

Is Being Cynical Bad for Your Health?None
Cynical people appear less positive about more than life experiences; it turns out their health suffers, too! They have a higher risk of having heart disease or dementia, so perhaps they could use a little sunshine in their lives. Pessimistic? Try to think more positively, and maybe your health will shine, too.

The Pentagon wants to make even more changes to troops' retirement plan
The Pentagon is fending off criticism that another round of updates to the military's retirement system would benefit older career-minded personnel at the expense of younger troops who fulfill only a short-term obligation. The proposed changes are outlined in the Defense Department's 2017 budget request, revealed Feb. 9, which urges Congress to rework several pieces of the new retirement plan that was passed into law last year and is slated to take effect in January 2018. | Military Times >>
The Veterans Who Aren't
Reservists today serve virtually everywhere, alongside their "active component" comrades. In battle, the performance of these trained and courageous citizen-warriors of all ranks, specialties, and any other category has been recognized as indistinguishable from the "regulars." They ask to serve; they deserve equity for that service. Inequity is written into law; most of the legislation governing the military was written before and during the Cold War. | The Hill >>
Exclusive: Whistleblowers say Veterans Choice used to slash budget deficit and care
Veterans all over the country have complained about long wait times, mismanaged appointments and little coordination of care in the Choice program. In Cincinnati, a new problem has emerged: Whistleblowers say the local VA intentionally reduced services in some areas like neurosurgery and orthopedics, actually forcing veterans into the Choice program because it makes the local hospital's budget look better. | KMTV >>
A suicide bomber on a motorcycle killed 14 people and wounded another 11 at a clinic in Parwan, north of the Afghan capital Kabul on Monday, officials said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which it said was aimed at a local police commander. It said the civilian casualties were caused when police opened fire. | Reuters >>

The U.N. mission in Iraq says bombs planted by the Islamic State group are hindering the return of displaced families to the newly liberated city of Ramadi.

When it comes to many of the interlocking conflicts of the Middle East, the Kurds seem to be a kind of glue. For decades, millions of Kurds have lived as part of stateless ethnic minorities across a vast expanse of the region, from Iran in the east to Turkey in the west. To varying degrees, they were marginalized, oppressed and under-represented. | Washington Post >>
Military Affairs
"We're going to keep the B-52 around. It provides some missions for us that are hard to replicate, primarily the range and payload the airplane provides," Lt. Gen. James "Mike" Holmes, the deputy chief of staff for strategic plans and requirements, said Feb. 18. That's why the service is focusing on a modernization effort to make sure the B-52's stay flying for years to come. Here's what you need to know: | Air Force Times >>
"Raise your hand if you have ever determined your location on the planet using the stars," Lt. Daniel Stayton tells his class at the U.S. Naval Academy. A young officer halfheartedly puts up her hand. Another wavers. The rest of the class of 20 midshipmen sits stone-faced. This is the challenge facing the U.S. Navy as it tries to bring back celestial navigation. | NPR >>
Dorothy Hollingsworth was just 7 when her brother Tom left the family farm in Indiana to join the Army a few months before the United States entered World War II. She never saw him again. Now, more than 70 years after Pfc. Thomas E. Davis was killed in the war's final battle, a tangible reminder of her beloved sibling has been found on the Pacific island of Saipan — one of his Army dog tags. | Associated Press >>
Former Army Sgt. Anthony Sarpy said a total of four tours of infantry duty in Iraq and Afghanistan exposed him and others to horrific images of war. "I basically wrote a song, "The Realities of Combat," about vets who've been in combat and experienced traumatic things, and when they come home they're unable to get over those experiences," said the 31-year-old Waukegan resident. | Lake County News-Sun >>
Last August, Cooper entered Warrior Wellness, an equine-assisted therapy program at the U.S. Air Force Academy's Equestrian Center.

Feherty's Troops First Foundation is a non-profit organization that assists warriors who were injured in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as their families. In 2008, Rick Kell and David Feherty co-founded Feherty's Troops First Foundation. Kell observed that they were gaps in the programs currently offered to veterans. He wanted to offer those programs, without duplicating the services that were already available elsewhere. | WMAR ABC 2 >>

For the second time, I was outside on a Sunday morning, in crazy wind waiting for a race to start. This might be how my luck is…
Yesterday, I ran the Gasparilla Distance Classic 5+3K along Bayshore Blvd. in Tampa. This is my first time to take part in this event and I will absolutely do it again next year. This route is so pretty, a gorgeous water view on one side and beautiful homes on the other side. I met up with my good friend Terrie and we waited *patiently* in the wind for it to be time to line up at the start line.
This was an out-and-back course, 4.97 miles that started right at 9:00am. Despite the wind, it wasn't really cold. Nothing at all like the weather at the Rock 'n' Rock 1/2 Marathon last month.
I started running very soon after starting. In my mind, I wanted to beat my time of 1:04 that I did last weekend when I ran the same distance around the park to see how I did. I ran more than I walked in this one. The first half, the wind was at our backs. When we turned around, it was right in our faces. I kept pushing along.
I had my Garmin on, of course, but it was a little off from my chip time. When I hit the 5K mark, I knew I was doing well as I was right around 37 minutes, which would be my fastest time yet. I wasn't sure how off my Garmin was as I was running, but when I neared the finish line, I knew I was going to be EXTREMELY close to the 1 hour mark. Fortunately I had signed up to get a text alert on my time and I knew very quickly after crossing the finish line that my time was 1:00:16. My first thought was "16 SECONDS?!?!" Oh what I would give to have been 17 seconds faster and had my time right under 1 hour. But all in all, I am VERY happy with how I did, how much I ran, and how great I felt. I definitely push myself more in an event than when I am just running around the park. I think I psych myself out, thinking I can't do as much as I can.
I waited for Terrie at the finish line and we were both pleased with how we did. It's a great feeling to finish an event and celebrate with a good friend. So far this year, we've done 3 events together!
Here are a few pictures from the day!
