It’s Time To Make Your Health and Wellness a Priority

A seven year study showed that patients whose primary physician was a Chiropractor experienced the following results: 60% less hospital admissions, 59% less days in a hospital, 62% less outpatient surgeries and 85% less in pharmaceutical costs. Don’t waste time worrying that your future will be one of dependence on medications or surgery if you don’t act soon. This is your opportunity to take control of your health. Dr. Whaite is here to work with you to obtain a better quality of life mentally, physically and emotionally. You are wise to invest in your health and wellbeing – it is the most precious asset you have!

We Don’t Just Alleviate Low Back Pain

We are thrilled to be able to provide you with natural solutions and preventative treatments for various ailments outside of neck and back pain. We offer care for various life stages including prenatal, pediatric and rehabilitation. Here are just a few conditions we commonly see in our office: Sciatica, Rotator Cuff Imbalance, Headaches, Bicipital Tendonitis, Core Instability, Arthritis, Herniated Discs, Piriformis Syndrome, Frozen Shoulder, Depression, Plantar Fasciitis, Vertigo, Ligament instability/strains, Patellar tendonitis, Scoliosis, Tennis Elbow, Hyper/Hypomobility, Carpal Tunnel, ect. If you are tired of living in pain and compromising your quality of life you can find solace through Dr. Whaite’s natural and non-invasive remedies.

How You Can Benefit from Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy uses gentle pressure on the bones of the head, spine and pelvis to increase the flow of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) to help cure a number of ailments. This fluid acts as a cushion for the cortex of your brain while also providing basic mechanical and immunological protection. Through your treatment your body will normalize, become more balanced, and will become rid of blockages (obstructions) in various systems throughout the body. Once these blockages are removed, the body can function in a healthy manner allowing your system to rest, rejuvenate and heal.

Dr. Whaite uses this therapy to help relieve headaches; neck and back pain; problems with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ); chronic fatigue; poor coordination; eye problems; depression; hyperactivity; attention deficit disorder; problems with the central nervous system, the immune system, lymphatic and the endocrine system; and many other conditions. Craniosacral treatments are safe, non-invasive and deeply relaxing.

Take Advantage of Our Neuromuscular Specialties

Neuromuscular therapy is a specific soft tissue treatment aimed to alleviate tender spots located in your muscles and connective tissue. These points are referred to as Trigger Points, and often cause pain, weakness, limited motion of your joints and can refer pain to areas outside of its origin. In fact, it’s very common for these points to simulate migraines, tension headaches, shoulder injuries, lower back pain, knee injuries, jaw pain and much more. If Dr. Whaite determines a Trigger Point is the cause of your pain, she can easily treat them and help you avoid major surgeries that would have been unsuccessful in alleviating your pain. Trigger Points are extremely common and can arise from numerous causes ranging from trauma, poor nutrition, poor posture, overworked muscles, repetitive strain and even dehydration.

Life Changing, Therapeutic Nutritional Counselling

Dr. Whaite offers life-changing nutritional education to any and all of her patients that are craving a healthier and more vibrant life. Take a moment to ask yourself how it would feel to have abundant energy, a faster metabolism, stable moods and an overall positive mentality. Let us help you choose the right foods to eat in balance to produce vitality from the inside out. We invite you to visit our office and discover a plan that will meet your physical, mental and emotional needs.

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest the patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” -Thomas Edison

What To Expect

Dr. Whaite’s goal is to relieve her patient’s symptoms as fast as possible while addressing the underlying origin with as few treatments as necessary.

Your first visit will begin with a physical examination. This is where Dr. Whaite will learn how your joints, muscles and nerves are functioning, both individually and collectively. Neurological and orthopedic tests also may be conducted to help determine a diagnosis. She may also check your blood pressure, listen to your heart and lungs or examine your abdomen for a complete evaluation of your physical health.

After the physical exam each patient will be educated about what Dr. Whaite found in your examination and she will explain your individualized treatment plan. You will begin treatment that day which will include your chiropractic adjustment and may also consist of soft tissue therapy, physiotherapy and nutritional advice. In addition, instructions for home therapy are frequently provided, as to help to expedite the healing process. Your plan may include advice on postural correction, exercises and stretches, sleeping position or other wellness techniques.

Similar to other medical practice, like dental and optometry, most patients opt to continue with regular chiropractic check ups. Their interest in wellness and prevention helps ensure once they get well, they stay well.

Do You Personally Handle My Case, or Will it Be Passed On to Another Person?

help me find a lawyer

– A Family Law Attorney may interview really well and hit all your check points, but then they pass your case onto another professional in their firm. Choose a lawyer who will actually be working on your case themselves.

Can You Explain Your Contingency-Fee Payment Plan in Detail?

– There are some fees associated with big lawsuits. Talk to the lawyer about all the potential fees you may face even on a contingency-fee plan.

Do You Have the Proper Financial and Workforce Resources to Take On My Case?

– Big cases may require a lot of resources, such as expert testimonies, investigations, medical specialists, and more. A lawyer should be able to fund this type of case and have connections for all the proper personnel resources.

Litigation Attorneys Vs Trial Attorneys - What's The Difference?

cheap lawyers

Litigation means a trial, right? So what does it matter if you hire a litigation attorney or a trial attorney? Can't they both perform the same functions? Not necessarily, which is why it's important to do your research before you hire an attorney to help you with a litigation lawsuit.

Litigation Attorneys

First of all, litigation does not automatically mean a trial is going to happen. The vast majority of the time, lawsuits are settled out of court without ever going to a jury. This is due to the work of the litigation attorney or litigator.

Litigation attorneys handle all of the work that happens outside a courtroom. They file lawsuits, gather evidence, conduct legal research, meet with the client, file and argue motions and defend their clients. This is all done long before a lawsuit even gets close to going to a judge and jury. Litigators may even attempt mediation to achieve an out of court settlement but if a case looks like it is going to go to court, these lawyers can take depositions and prepare clients and their witnesses.

Although there are differences between the two attorneys, those differences don't make one better than the other. They each serve different functions and perform different roles. Working with both types will give you the best of both worlds: an expert lawyer familiar with the ins and outs of your case and an expert presenter who can best argue your position in court if it gets that far. Many law firms have both litigators and lawyers on staff, giving you access to both types of specialists under one roof.

If you prefer to have a single lawyer represent you through the entire process, be sure to ask about his or her experience in court and specifically if it has included cases covering the same legal subjects as yours. Then you'll need to decide if the attorney has the experience you need to carry your case through to the end or if you're better off starting out with a litigator and hiring a trial lawyer if and when your case gets to the courtroom.

Affordable Divorce Lawyers

There are many different qualities that people assume make a lawyer a good one. Most commonly, people think the top five qualities of a top lawyer are:

1. The number of cases they've won.
2. The high amount of money they make (and thusly charge).
3. The nature of their defense and prosecution techniques.
4. The number of high profile clients they have.
5. The ability to charm a jury and the media.

However, the true qualities of a top lawyer do not include any of the above five examples. Those qualities are the perception of a top lawyer, but it isn't what you would look for in a lawyer if you were to require one to try a case for you or a loved one.

Excellent lawyers have a very different set of skills that make them a top lawyer, and chances are they aren't rich, don't have high profile clients, don't have a reputation for being ruthless and likely have a high moral reputation instead.

5. Accepts their weakness and is able to ask for help
No one, not even a top lawyer, has all the answers all the time. Therefore, it is important that a lawyer be able to accept and acknowledge their weaknesses in order to perform at their highest abilities. A top lawyer will be able to ask for help when they need it, from whatever source is best to receive the answer. Putting pomp and circumstance aside, as well as ego and pride, a top lawyer is not afraid to admit they just don't have an answer but does promise to find one and then works hard to do so.

Today, it can be difficult to wade through the popular opinion of what makes a top lawyer in order to find one that truly has the skills, traits, personality and ethics that make a lawyer an excellent practitioner.

5 Qualities of Top Lawyers

cheap lawyers

Divorce means the legal dissolution of marriage. Divorce is usually one of the most traumatic experiences in a person's life. Apart from being stressful and painful, a divorce proceeding may also prove to be an extremely costly affair. Very often, people going through a divorce do not have sufficient resources to hire an expensive lawyer. Many lawyers in the US specialize in divorce and annulment. Money plays a vital role in the selection of a good divorce lawyer. For many people, an affordable divorce lawyer is one who charges the least amount to represent them in their divorce case.

Many people are unable to pay for these legal services. Most states in the US have legal aid services that offer discounted legal services. They also offer free services to people who are incapable of hiring a lawyer to plead their case.

History and Past Chairs

The Dulles Area Association of REALTORS® (DAAR) has a long and distinguished history. Although the name has changed during its 55 years of existence, the community leadership and accomplishments have been consistently outstanding.

On July 1st, 1962, DAAR originally received a charter from the National Association of REALTORS® as the Loudoun County Board of REALTORS® (LCBOR) to have jurisdiction over the use of the term REALTOR® in Loudoun County.

On October 29th, 1967, the Board as it was called then incorporated the first Multiple Listing Service (MLS) of Loudoun County.  On August 7, 1969, the Board incorporated and held their first official general membership meeting.  Most of the meetings were held at Johnson’s House of Beef in Leesburg, which just closed its doors in early 2008.  As meetings grew in size, they were moved to the Laurel Brigade Inn and the offices were in newly-hired LCBOR “Secretary” Faye Vance’s basement.

In 1972, LCBOR moved into its first headquarters at 33 South King Street, which was known as the “Old Stone House.” Annual local dues for salespeople were increased from $2 to $10 that same year.

As Loudoun County grew, so did LCBOR.  In the late 1980’s, LCBOR purchased a third unit on King Street for potential office use, but in the interim leased it out to the State Police.  Meanwhile, NAR gave local boards the right to use the term Association in their names and LCBOR changed to the Loudoun County Association of REALTORS® (LCAR).

The late 80’s also brought about significant changes to the way real estate was conducted in the area. Computers were making their way into the MLS System and creating opportunities and challenges for the industry.

In partnership with the Northern Virginia Association of REALTORS® and the Prince William Association of REALTORS®, LCAR formed the Common Data Base System (CDBS) by contracting with the same vendor, PRC, to share listing information.  At the time, there was one Board of Directors (BOD) for the MLS comprised of representatives of the three associations who shared our first lockbox system, a Multac Recording Box.

In 1991, Faye Vance announced her retirement and Jeanette G. Newton started as the new Executive Vice President of LCAR.

As the market slowed in the early 1990’s, the size of the association began to drop while there were many changes on the horizon.  In 1992, the Regional MLS was formed that combined listings into one data base.  Members would have to insert their phone handsets into a “computer” in order to print out listing information on shiny thermal paper.

1992 was a year of “firsts” for LCAR.  We had our first Christmas in April, RPAC Golf Tournament and Charity Auction to benefit shelter-based charities.

In 1995, LCAR membership declined to 500 but stood ready to venture into a wholly owned subsidiary, the Metropolitan Regional Information System (MRIS) along with an electronic lockbox system with Supra.

At that same time, NAR implemented “Board of Choice” for members.  With the fear of being swallowed up by larger associations, LCAR assembled a committee comprised of past presidents to develop an action plan that would enable the association to continue to grow. In 1996, after an uphill battle, the Virginia Association of REALTORS® Board of Directors approved our name change to the Dulles Area Association of REALTORS®.

Under the new name, the Association flourished under Board of Choice and moved into the third condo in an effort to expand our education program.  Our new Proprietary School was becoming a success.

In 2000, DAAR engaged in a long battle with the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors on growth issues.  We were on the map, receiving help and being noticed by NAR as an example of what could and needed to be done to fight the slow-growth management trend.

Now part of one of the fastest growing counties in the nation, DAAR sold its condos on South King Street in 2002 and moved an expanded space on Sycolin Road in Leesburg.

In 2004, DAAR had its first million dollar budget and the services offered to members were growing exponentially.  In 2005, DAAR opened up its first branch office at the Dulles Airport location and was able to offer expanded GRI and CCIM classes.  From this point on, DAAR was the 8th largest association in Virginia out of 30 associations.

DAAR’s influence at the state and national association grew as the first VAR president from DAAR in 20 years was installed in 2005.  By 2006, DAAR had a representative on every advocacy group at VAR as well as two NAR directors and an NAR Committee Chairman.  In 2019, VAR will have installed DAAR’s fourth VAR President.

In 2012, the Association celebrated our 50th anniversary and moved to a more centralized location in Ashburn. In response to a strengthening advocacy program, the Association formed its own PAC, the Dulles Area REALTORS Political Action Committee in 2015.

Between that time period, the DAAR Board of Directors developed an aggressive Strategic Plan designed to take the association to the next level.

In 2016, Jeanette Newton retired after twenty-five years of service to the members. Christine Windle, the association’s Government Affairs and Communications Director for ten years, began serving as the association’s Chief Executive Officer.

Electric Shock Collars And Dog Training.

You have made a wonderful decision! Okay, but now what? Proper training will make the time spent with your pet much more enjoyable. The following tips will teach you everything you need to know to properly train you new pet.

When you are going to be training your dog, it is important that you limit the length of the training sessions. Small, focused sessions are necessary at the beginning. End the session as soon as your dog’s attention begins to stray.

Include plenty of physical activity in your dog’s training routine. Dogs can get bored quite easily. A bored dog is very difficult to train. Your dog will pay better attention to commands, as well as play with you more, when he has been exercised properly. Make long walks or daily runs a part of your routine that you and your dog can look forward to.

When house training your dog, keep in mind that whatever you feed him must come out. You can promote consistency and regularity by feeding your pet on a firm schedule two or three times daily with only the highest quality of food. Doing so allows you to gain a clearer picture of when your puppy might need to relieve himself outdoors.

Teaching a dog how to roll over isn’t too hard with a few treats in your hand. First, make sure the dog is in a laying position. Next, hold the treat close to the floor on one side of the dog’s head, and slowly bringing it upwards and over to the dog’s other side. He should then roll over while following the treat. Be sure to say ROLL OVER as your dog is rolling. Eventually, he will learn to perform the trick upon command. Do not get mad if it takes several tries. Once they learn this particular trick, they will be popular at the dog park!

When a dog is trained well and behaves properly, both the owner and the dog are happy. With the use of these tips, you are well on your way to a successful dog training relationship.

Dirty old town… The Reckoning (1970)

You can take the boy out of Liverpool but… This is Get Carter with a more believable premise and a more chilling message produced over a year before Mike Hodges’ admittedly more stylish, Brit-noir classic.

It features a performance of characteristically-controlled intensity from Nicol Williamson as Michael Marler a second-generation Irish Scouser who has found there’s room at the top by seemingly abandoning his roots. He has evolved his persona to fit in and has a society wife, posh house, sharp suits and even sharper cars. Michael is a corporate killer in the emerging commercial world where old school ties are no longer enough when compared with the ruthless pursuit of success.

The fascination with this type of commercial success was very much of its time but Jack Gold’s film goes further than most in linking the mentality with deeper and more instinctive traits for survival and success.

Great shot of Liverpool in 1969, GPO Tower thrusting optimistically amidst the relics...
At one point Michael shoots his Jaguar through road works narrowly avoiding death and turns to his wife exclaiming that if he can get away with that he can get away with anything… he’s living faster and is re-learning the tricks of the trade as it were: cunning and ruthless he was but taking all this a step further… and he’s the kind of man who will make the next century!

Bold statements perhaps but Gold’s direction is serious and well-paced whilst Nicholson could act his way out of a high-security cell without anyone noticing, smuggling so much meaning you’d only know what it was when it was gone… he’s that subtle.

Michael is in a state of constant conflict, in the midst of the constant battles of corporate politics and ongoing domestic pugilism with a relationship with wife Rosemary (Ann Bell) that is almost sado-masochistic. She’s home countries deb stock with a wit to match his but he is still her bit of rough and their main intercourse is either violent or sexual… It’s an unusual relationship but one that endures… what does that tell us?

Nicol Williamson and Ann Bell
As he is busy saving his boss from a stitch-up – fast-moving politics are the order of the day – Michael gets the call to go back to Liverpool as his father is seriously ill. His boss doesn’t want him to go and delays his return so that Michael can provide him with the ammunition he needs to save his skin and get one over on the “enemy”.

He delays Michael long enough for him to miss his final goodbye… as he races up the M1 and M6 to find his Da John Joe (Ernest C. Jennings) just passed. There are poignant shots of Michael’s shiny Jaguar against the Liverpudlian decay… all along time before the regeneration that, incidentally, now threatens the City’s UNESCO World Heritage Site status… there’s an irony there somewhere but this is one of the great metropolis.

Michael’s mother (Gwen Nelson) describes her husband as having a fall but his sister Kath (Christine Hargreaves) knows more… Michael gets nothing but a lecture from his Da’s doctor (Godfrey Quigley) and the local priest, Father Madden (Desmond Perry) with whom his Da has craftily left a final message for his son to embrace his Catholicism and heritage more closely than the battle for business glory.

Michael’s having none of it… but he is distraught at his father’s passing, tears welling up as he realises the enormity of the loss itself and his day-to-day denials… we’re all sustained by the fantasy of workplace routine.

Michael sets out to find out what actually happened to his father and visits his working men’s club to quiz Cocky Burke (J. G. Devlin), his drinking buddy. It’s a slice of seventies culture as vivid as the pub Carter visits on his return to Newcastle only the signer’s better and the locals more accommodating. Cocky explains that his father took a beating from some bikers and points him in the direction of the lad who hit the hardest.

This is the law of the jungle… and Michael is expected to “do something” as the English police will neither be co-operated with nor expected to help investigate an Irish Catholic’s death. Religion is hugely important in a city where, even today, two thirds of English Catholics live but they’re also in the police force. All that aside, nothing will be done unless the family takes care of it.

Nicol Williamson and Rachel Roberts
Michael takes refuge in a night of passion with a married woman, Joyce (Rachel Roberts) and together they spend an electric night rediscovering passion that might change the course of their lives. Michael certainly has more in common with Joyce than with his wife – he likes her for a start - and Joyce, in a married holding pattern of her own, feels an intensity long lost in years of drudge.

But, the World moves on and Michael flies down to London again in his Jag for more corporate manoeuvres and the narrative picks up tremendous pace as the urge to violent retribution leads Michael into ever more aggressive and reckless displays at work… This is where the film goes deeper than Get Carter as Michael is able to find acceptance from a corporate leadership beginning to value results at all costs… The twin tracks of the concluding segments are devastating and surprising in this respect as you really don’t expect the ending you get (no spoilers).

War at work
Dusty verdict: The Reckoning is a complex and challenging period gem with Williamson’s performance being of the highest quality. The supporting cast are some of the finest character actors of the time and, of course, Rachel Roberts is superb: he comparison of sexual satisfaction with childhood memories of the “extra dumpling” is compelling and disturbing at the same time… It’s an underlying theme of the film, instinctive, base gratification is far more part of our lives than we’d admit.

The violence comes with added sexism and an entirely intentional abuse of some women characters all of which gives a lie to the “it was a different era” defence for recently-exposed harassers: yes, some men did but then other men didn’t and then made films about it…

If you like Get Carter, Man of Violence and other turn of the decade British noir you’ll love this, and you can now get it on Blu-ray from those nice people at Amazon.

Southport's nice...

Indikator Kunci Pemulihan Fungsi Habitat Burung di Lahan Reklamasi dan Revegetasi Pasca Tambang Batubara

Sri Soegiharto, Ervizal A.M. Zuhud, Yadi Setiadi, Burhanuddin Masyud

The area of reclamation and revegetation in farmer coal mine has one role as bird habitat. The purpose of this study was to determine indicators of the types of bird that can progress successed reclamation and revegetation program in habitat function of fauna. The method used was bird species and bottom vegetation identification I in each habitat type used transect and mistnet. The data was analyzed using multivariate analysis of hDCCA. The results using hDCCA preedicted that the key indicator of bird characteristics that marks the development of succession in the fifth year is the presence of “insectivore bird” type. Bird species were B15 (Lanius schach), B20 (Prinia flaviventris), B23 (Picoides moluccensis), B28 (Pachychepala hypoxantha), B29 (Rhipidura javanica), B30 (Orthotomus ruficeps), B31 (Orthotomus sericeus).

‘Constructed Simulacrum’
Virtual representations are taking on a greater role in human communication, resulting in the memory of our reality being based upon mixture of actual experience and counterfeit experience. In order to deal with this hybridized information, details that make up a reality are grasped abstractly as ‘impression’ rather than fully comprehended. This project examines the technique representing the ‘impression’ of a place as a built form. Superimposition of ‘reality’ and constructed simulacrum affords viewers the opportunity to re-experience temporal place.

About SDED Events EarthFair Volunteering Sponsorship Photo Gallery Photo Gallery Home Home
Exhibitor Signs and Custom Artwork

All EarthFair exhibitors receive a namesign as part of their basic exhibitor package. The namesign's characteristic size and appearance is quickly recognized by EarthFair visitors, and lets them easily identify exhibitors.

For a modest $20 additional fee, exhibitors may provide us with artwork that will be added to their namesign. We expect that the two most popular additions will be:

  • The company or organization logo;
  • A QR code with the URL (address) of the organizations website that can be scanned by EarthFair visitors.

For example, the standard sign:

With the addition of a logo:

Or a QR code (pointing to the Audubon website):

If you are interested in ordering a custom namesign, please read on.

About Namesigns...

Unless otherwise noted below, all exhibitors will receive standard namesigns. This namesign is made of 14-ply poster board, 28" long and 5-1/2" high. There is an easel affixed to the back of the sign, so that it will stand up on a tabletop. The first image above is an example of a standard namesign.

A custom namesign adds 4 inches of length (32" x 5-1/2") and a logo or other graphic, as shown in the second and third image above.

Exhibitors who register as an Exhibitor Member receive a larger member namesign: 28" long and 7" high. Additional text identifies them as an EarthWorks member:

With the custom option ordered, a custom member namesign is also 4" longer, and adds the logo:

Ordering a Custom Namesign

You can select a Custom Namesign when you register as an exhibitor. Alternatively, if you select a regular namesign when you register, you can change to a Custom sign by paying the difference ($20).

Ordering and Paying For a Custom Namesign

  • If you HAVE NOT yet submitted your exhibitor application, you can indicate that you want a custom namesign on the application. The $20 fee will be automatically added to your exhibitor fees.
  • If you HAVE submitted your exhibitor application, please send me an email indicating that you want a custom namesign. Send the email to: chris@earthdayweb.org. Be sure to include the name of your organization, as you registered it.
    • If you HAVE already paid your exhibitor fees, send a check for $20 to:
      San Diego EarthWorks / PO Box 9827 / San Diego, CA 92169.
    • If you HAVE NOT already paid your exhibitor fees, we will add the $20 to the amount due.
  • Custom namesign orders must be placed and paid for by April 10. No orders will be accepted after that date.

Send Us the Graphics

  • The image will be printed at a maximum of 4-1/2" in both height and width, at 300dpi. Preferably, send an image that is 1350 pixels or better in the widest dimension (width or height). If you don't have an image this size, come as close as you can.
  • The image may be a PDF, EPS, TIF, or JPEG file. Please do NOT send Word files.
  • Proofs will not be provided unless we feel there is a potential problem with the graphic you send.
  • Art work may be emailed to: chris@earthdayweb.org
  • Custom namesign artwork must be received by April 8. No artwork will be accepted after that date.

About QR Files

QR stands for Quick Response; this Wikipedia page will probably tell you more than you want to know about them. There are websites that will generate QR codes for you, for free (see below).

In short, these odd, square graphics can encode many different kinds of information: a web address (URL), plain text, phone number, email message or email address, digital business card (vCard), and many others. These codes can be scanned by apps that most folks have on their cell phones.

For EarthFair, the QR codes that make the most sense are probably:

  • Your organization's website URL
  • A digital business card (vCard)
  • An email address

However, we will print whatever QR code you send us.

Generating QR Files

The easiest way to generate a QR file is to use one of the free websites. Here are several that came up on the first page of a Google search; I'm sure there are lots more:

You can select the kind of QR code you want (e.g., URL or phone number), enter the text, and then generate and download the image file. To test it, print it out and scan it with your cell phone (or find somebody who has the app).

Play around with it until you get just what you want, then email us the file. Again, generate the file with a high resolution: 1000 pixels or better preferred.

entry arrow1:59 PM | Meow

I'm a happy cat today. What started out as a shitty day yesterday ended up in a vast culmination of so much happiness, it's impossible to even begin to gauge how the universe can tease me just so. Waking to yesterday was like staring into a dark tomb I knew there was no escape from eventually descending: it promised only long hours, great stress, perfect unhappiness. There was a video to edit, posters to design and produce in the nick of time, event logistics to fulfill and follow, heavy things to transport between places, pressing engagements to attend. I texted my old high school best friend Jacqueline Piñero-Torres: "I don't think I will be able to attend Felma's church wedding this afternoon at 3 p.m. Unless of course I can clone myself."

My schedule looked like the wrath of some deranged god. There was the whole morning scheduled for the video editing and the poster making. There was the early afternoon to prepare for Razceljan Salvarita's exhibit opening at 5 p.m. There was the matinee of the Loboc Children's Choir at 3 p.m. And Felma's wedding ceremony at Saint Catherine of Alexandria Cathedral at the same time. There was the wedding reception at the Negros Oriental Convention Center at 6 p.m. (And my old high school classmates were already sending me text messages: "We never see you anymore!" And so I had to be there at the reception if I couldn't be at the wedding itself.) There was also the Quizo concert at Silliman Hall at 6 p.m. (but this one I chose to erase from my schedule -- or else die). There was the Loboc Children's Choir gala at 8 p.m. And in-between, there were the countless things to do to make things flow. I had already conscripted the family driver to drive me between engagements, and to do the hard, physical work for me, so that made things at least a little bearable. And then to cap my misery, a fellow CAC member came up to me and said cattily, "I don't like Razcel's installation," and proceeded to grumble about it.

It made me so mad because the last thing I needed was a fellow cultural worker not getting the artistic vocabulary of what an avant-garde artist like Razcel was trying to do. The nerve! When I went home to change to formal clothes for the exhibit opening and the wedding reception later, I found all my black socks missing their pair. All of them. And I was reduced to wearing dark grey argyle socks. Argyle! That was the straw that broke the camel's back. I picked up a pile of papers I was working on for a project, and hurled it against a wall in my pad.

At least that made me feel good.

But you know what? Things have a way of finding calm. The exhibit opening turned out well, even if it was a little late. Razcel opened the exhibit with a performance of The Lord's Prayer -- in Aramaic -- complete with candles and firelight. Dessa Quesada-Palm beautifully sang a couple of Joey Ayala songs. The Ating Pamana, with Elizabeth Susan Vista-Suarez, sang a medley of songs as well. And then there were the paintings, the photographs, and the installations. Clay birds hanging from the ceiling of the Luce Foyer Gallery... Brown, dry leaves crunching beneath the feet of visitors...

And meeting my old high school classmates in Felma Labrador and Brian Uypitching's wedding reception -- which was done so elegantly in the halls of the Convention Center -- made me so happy. I never cease to be amazed by the ease with which we fall into the rhythms of old friendships. These are people I haven't seen in many years, and yet when I meet them again, it's as if the years in-between do not exist. I love settling into the comforts of the familiar warmth, the old sense of closeness, the old jokes, the reminiscences.

And the Loboc Children's Choir, under the guidance of Ma'am Alma Taldo, was divinely spectacular. They were soooooooo cute. One of the boys looked like Harry Potter. I wanted to pinch the cheek of every one of them, these cute kids with fantastic voices.

And then there were the accumulation of other happy things over the weekend: Arlene's birthday party in Gabby's Bistro; Pacquiao winning over De la Hoya; an intimate Sunday lunch with my mother, who never cease to amaze me with her exuberance; Ma'am Susan singing "This Night in December" during the Ating Pamana Christmas concert at Silliman Hall last Friday night; the Silliman Campus Choristers serenading the Loboc children on the Luce stage after the concert; seeing my best friend looking relaxed in ages...

And seeing my old teacher (and former department chair), the great Ceres Pioquinto, again after so many years. She is visiting from Germany, and seeing her in the Luce for the Loboc concert surprised me, and I ended up choking with unexpected happiness. I texted my friend (and fellow teacher) Chinky later on: "I had no idea I'd miss her this much. It made me realize how much I miss the kind of decisive and creative leadership she had."

My Christmas began this weekend. And I'm a happy cat. I've been meowing all day.

entry arrow10:54 AM | Inspiration is Nonsense

“I think inspiration is nonsense, actually. Every so often, I mean like one day in twenty or something, you will have a day when the work seems to just flow out of you and you feel lucky. You feel and are often surprised, and you don’t quite know why it is working like that. And on days like that, it’s easy to believe in a kind of inspiration, but most of the time it’s not like that… I wish there were more of those days, but most of the time it’s a lot slower and more exploratory, and it’s more a process of discovering what you have to do than just simply have it arrive like a flame over your head. So, I do think it’s to do with concentration, not inspiration. It’s to do with paying attention, and I think a great deal of the business of writing is the business of paying attention to your characters, to the world they live in, to the story you have to tell. Just a kind of deep attention, and out of that, if you pay attention properly, the story will tell you what it needs.”

~ Salman Rushdie

Sony Reader PRS-700 Video

Teleread also ran this but there are three points that need to be cleared up:

Sony 700 Reader begins new chapter

The information presented in the overlay text is incorrect:

- it does not have 20MB internal memory
- it is not "Internet enabled"
- it does not have a 800Mhz Celeron-class CPU

This is sloppy reporting.

Those specs are the minimum requirements for the desktop PC that the Sony Reader connects to. Click on the Specifications tab here.

Children Say the Darnest Things

As I was driving home from grocery shopping with my son sitting in the back seat and as we approach our home, he turns to me and say's "Mom, why are you only going to eat salad ?" I replied back by saying " well, mommy wants to lose some weight before we go to our trip this summer" then he comes back with " I love you FAT mommy, cause you are so cute" so there you have it my son loves me Fat. This would make a really cute excuse for me !!!

He is at an age where he asks questions like you wont believe, I have to actually stop and think for a few minutes before I reply back.

Well that's all for today, I thought you guys would enjoy a good laugh...

How cute! Kids really do say the darnest things! Don't forget to write them down someplace! I wish I had when my kids were little!

Hello Ebru - Love your videos and style of crafting! Visiting you on your blogspot for the first time and had to comment on funny things kids say. Before I married my husband a year and a half ago, the only person I ever cooked for was myself. Now I cook for him and his 3 boys, which has been a crash course in culinary skills and what kids like to eat. Anyway, I made something (I think Jambalaya) that was a dud with the kids. Sensitive to my feelings since he knew the work I put into dinner, his 10 y.o. said, "Its not that it doesn't taste good... its just that the flavors don't go together very well." He totally cracked me up, and warmed my heart with the funny way he was trying to not hurt my feelings.

Behavior reinforcement: Is it personal?

Two strong principles of PBIS are to provide positive personal feedback for appropriate behavior and to collect data for databased decision-making. Sometimes these two principles are at odds. Recording data must be as unobtrusive as possible. We don't want to take the teacher's attention away from class or seem to diminish her engagement class.

One of the solutions for recording data is to do it all off-line. The teacher counts tick marks or behavior token tickets when the students aren't there. But that takes more time for the teacher. And the more time that's required for collecting data, the less likely it is that the data will be collected. If data collection can be integrated in with the teacher's activity during class, it's much more likely that the data be collected.

To minimize the time requirement for recording positive student behavior, we developed one-click merit points. This allows the teacher to give any of the students in her class a merit point for any of several expectations simply by clicking a box by the students name.

Behavior Manager includes a star chart that can be on display for the class throughout the class period. By viewing the live star chart, students can immediately see that they have been recognized for specific positive behaviors.

Consider an alternative. A teacher could hand a ticket to a student for positive feedback. By walking over to the student's desk and handing him a ticket, possibly along with a word or two of encouragement, the teacher has made a personal contact with that student. The personal contact enhances the positive feedback.

But with the ticket method, there is no record of the positive feedback. To make a record, the students might check in with a teacher at the end of class when the teacher could enter into a spreadsheet the number of tickets that each student received. But it's additional work taking additional time.

Can clicking on a button on a tablet be made personal? Sure. The teacher can do it through eye contact, a smile, a wink, a thumbs up or a positive remark. Or, like a paper ticket method, the teacher can walk over near the student, click the tablet, and pat the student on the back.

Making positive feedback personal is important. But collecting the data is too. Luckily, you can have it both ways.

Did you miss me?

After taking a couple of years off from blogging, I'm back.

I hope this comeback is more along the lines of General MacArthur and less like Freddie Krueger but I guess we'll have to just wait and see.

I'll be sharing my thoughts once again about tools to make things go more smoothly in schools and perhaps some digressions into flights of fancy and speculation.

Watch this space.

Networking activities:

EDGI Knowledge Services (dissemination, training and standardization) focuses on providing expert consulting and technical support to new communities in the adoption and customization of the EDGI services. It will disseminate the knowledge produced by the project through the organization of focused events and will train scientists in developing applications for the combined SG-DG-Clouds DCI maintained by EDGI. EDGI will also train system administrators on how to establish and run local and public DGs and how to integrate these systems into the combined EDGI DCI.

EDGI will also call for experience and expertise sharing in order to define a definitive standard to enable SG, DG and Cloud resource sharing by unifying a set of standard and immutable interfaces as well as services and protocols. NA2 will strongly collaborate with EMI in order to guarantee the interoperability between the EMI component SG middleware (gLite, Unicore, ARC) and the DGs and Clouds handled by EDGI. NA2 will also participate in the work of OGF and OGF Europe and will collaborate with SIENA to ensure the usage of standards in the EDGI bridge solutions. EDGI will organize and establish the European Grid Federation as part of the International Desktop Grid Federation.

Service activities:

1. EDGI Production DCI Service will establish and maintain the production level combined SG-DG-Clouds. It will create and maintain the EDGI Application Repository as a public service enabling to publish and share those applications that are already ported to EDGI and usable for the EDGI DCI. EDGI will install and operate a science gateway that enables NGI users to access the EDGI DCI both at the individual job and complex workflow level.

2. Test and Validation Service will provide quality assurance services for EDGI. It will create the EDGI Test infrastructure and will perform the necessary Deployment tests, Regression tests, Functional tests, Scalability tests and Stress tests concerning the middleware development lifecycle. This service is responsible to release the EDGI middleware for the EDGI Production infrastructure. It will also provide quality assurance for EDGI applications by performing the application validation procedure. Eventually, to support these activities, the service will also set up and operate the EDGI Test infrastructure and the Application Validation Infrastructure.

Joint Research activities:

1. EDGI Bridges Technologies will further develop the 3G Bridge middleware in order to improve the stability, reliability, usability, functionality, interoperability, security, management, monitoring and accounting of the EDGI production infrastructure. In order to achieve these goals 3G Bridge components will be extended with ARC, Unicore and Cloud middleware (e.g. Eucalyptus and OpenNebula) plugins that enable the interconnection of these Grids and Clouds with Desktop Grids. The P2P data management concept developed in EDGeS for Desktop Grids will be extended and improved for ensuring better quality of service for data-intensive applications.

2. QoS Support for Desktop Grids will develop QoS support for EDGI users. In order to achieve improved response time by the connected Desktop Grids DG schedulers will be re-organized according to the needs of the EDGI infrastructure. Virtualization technologies will be investigated in order to improve the security mechanism of the EDGI infrastructure. The monitoring and benchmarking facilities of EDGI will be further developed to support QoS scheduling.

User communities: EDGI will support all scientific user communities in Europe with a high-computing demand that can be solved by Desktop Grids and EDGI like infrastructures. EDGI will collaborate closely with EGI to reach the existing and new EGI user communities.

The Outback Advantage and Literacy

The Outback Advantage started as a network of nine one-teacher schools, which worked together through IDEAS and with the Staff College to enhance the quality and sustainability of initiatives in their schools. We are now an alliance of 13 one and two teacher schools that have created an active, support and challenging network. Our journey has not always been pleasant, has always been challenging and has been incredibly rewarding.

Having spent a large degree of time on developing the alliance itself and our approach to pedagogy, we have now started actioning our focus on literacy. Ensuring that all of our children are literate emerged as a common vision of our parents desired future. This is already reflected in our shared Curriculum Plan, which organises our curriculum into four areas: literacy, numeracy, integrated units and specialist subjects. Our Curriculum Plan also defines acceptable standards that all children are expected to achieve, whilst acknowledging that many children will achieve beyond them.

We are now embarking on developing a comprehensive literacy program across our schools, which will ground our pedagogical practices in the research underpinning Early Years program. This program will reflect our unique ability to really cater for the individual needs of every one of our students, whilst ensuring that the standards they achieve are comparable with if not exceeding what children are achieving elsewhere. It will incorporate class teaching programs, targeted intervention programs, involving parents as educators of their children at home as well as extensive professional development for and ongoing discussion amongst all involved.

They work hard for me.

They work hard for me.

My feet work hard. As an Aikidoka and a woman without a car, these babies put up with a lot. Sometimes I forget how thankful I am to have a good, healthy body.

But it is not my feet that are working hard these days. My heart, my mind and my spirit have been putting in overtime, it seems. Explosive growth, yes. I am expanding to fill the spaces of the woman that I have always dreamed of being, and in fact, know that I am. She is there, unfurling new tendrils, little by little, stretching toward the light. I can feel it. It is there, just on the horizon...

VLOG cam: I like to record messages to our viewers to watch here. If there is something pressing I want you to know, watch here and you will see the latest message recorded from me!

Today's theme:
Could Lori and Brian survive on just one victim of this crime paying the bills for everything that they do? Not if that victim is me, I can tell you that. Lori lived under the impression that I would inherit part of my family's water company for a very long time. Remember she has kept an eye on me since I was 19. I am not really that type of person, however. I don't look to inheritances for security and don't really care about stuff like that. Right now I am living the nightmare that happens when Lori is too far from her hunting grounds to find people to hurt me. So she has to do it herself. Not the most comfortable position now that she has five people there helping her.
Visit "Save Our Sons" for more information about this crime. This is a non violent informational blog about the crime of electronic harassment in Palm Springs, California. The blog, in no way, intends to promote a crime against anyone. It's intent now, as always, is to become the property of DreamWorks Entertainment as a motion picture project for them. Do not commit any crimes because of this blog.

Why Can't Lori and Brian Just Admit That They're The Assholes That They Are? They Want Such Bad Ass Reputations...Step Up, Bitches!!!

You know something I've noticed about Lori and Brian LaPussy.  They want everyone to fear them, but unlike real gangsters, they aren't really "MAN ENOUGH" to step up to the plate and be those people.  Someone is obviously out there doing all this shit to these gay men and infecting them because they are "having their opinion about what they think" and "implanting them with these devices and telling the police", so why don't the two of them man up and say so?

It's simple, neither one of them is "bad ass" enough like they act like they are.  Oh sure, they talk like they are cocks of the walk in Palm Springs, but where I come from, if you are a bad ass, you aren't afraid to own up to what you do.  Lori and Brian always play this "we're so innocent" bullshit.  Nobody believes that they are, of course, but it sure is funny when they close the door and start screaming at everyone to do what they say.  Neither one of them has a pair of balls on them between the two without their knockout drug or their's so fucking ridiculous.

As Eureka rose out of a thick cloud bank over Laguna Beach, Katherine turned to her mentor, Fritz, and said, "Last chance to back out."

He looked at her with a smile. "We'll be immortal. Every historian will sing our praises until the end of time. Why would I want to back out?"

Katherine sighed. "I don't know. Maybe because it might be suicide."

Fritz laughed. "You've learned nothing from me. Everything worth grasping and keeping is going to have risk. That is what makes success so succulent."

"Then do it. I don't want to think about it anymore."

Fritz manipulated the controls on his console that had nothing to do with keeping Eureka afloat. "Send us up," he said. "As high as she can go."

Katherine pointed the nose of Eureka as straight up as she would go without fighting. She put all her faith in Fritz and his invention. Never had something like this been done on a blimp, especially one as big as Eureka. Or, if it had been done, it had ended in catastrophe and no one knew about it. She didn't want to think about that last part.

"We're close," Fritz said. "Just keep her steady and my machine will do the rest."

A minute later Eureka shuddered enough that Katherine thought the gondola would fall off, but it held. "Brace yourself," Fritz said, and Eureka shot forward into the sky with a force that would have knocked Katherine backwards into the wall had she not been strapped into her seat. The blue sky turned black, and mid-morning turned to night, as the stars popped up into her vision.

"It worked!" Fritz yelled. "We're in orbit!"

Katherine wasn't sure it was possible, but here they were. She could hear the life-support system kick in, and she looked above them and saw the helium-filled balloon looked no different than if they'd been flying over Angels Stadium. She didn't even want to guess what modifications Fritz had made.

"We'll be famous," Fritz mumbled, more to himself than to Katherine. "All the talk shows; all the news media; everyone."

She smiled at his enthusiasm and started to let it sweep over her, as well. She never wanted to chase fame, but now that it had caught her, she wouldn't wriggle from its grasp. The only thing to do now was to get back down. Long Beach was expecting them.

"What did you do to enable us to get back down through the atmosphere?" she asked him. "That seems the hardest feat."

His face dropped and froze. "Back down? I . . . I didn't think . . . it all went to getting us up and stable."

She laughed. "Really, Fritz, I'm curious."

He didn't answer, and his face remained that of a deer caught in headlights. She'd known him for over ten years and knew when he was kidding.

He was not.

This NYC Honda S2000 Driver is a Dick

Honda S2000 Burnout Brooklyn

Show off somewhere else!

When you own a sports car, you sometimes get the need to show off or push it to the limits. We get it. Throwing down some power or taking a turn and hitting the apex is a great feeling. But you don’t ever do it on a busy public road with others in the vicinity!

This video comes to us from Brooklyn, New York. In a city where traffic is always nuts and there’s people everywhere, hooning your sports car is definitely not a good idea. In fact, it’s just an accident waiting to happen. This Honda S2000 driver was just a dick.

Honda S2000 Burnout Brooklyn

At a busy intersection the Honda driver decided to do a few donuts even though a man riding a scooter was stopped at the intersection waiting to turn. The Honda driver turned in wide and let it rip, smoking the tires and spinning in circles, nearly hitting the man on the scooter. Thankfully, the scooter rider was aware of the Honda driver’s stupidity and moved up to avoid getting hit.

After showing off and getting honked at by others, the driver sped away down a one-way street, likely thinking they were as cool as the guys from the ‘Fast & Furious’.

Guys, don’t be stupid.

How big of a jerk was this Honda S2000 driver to start doing donuts in a busy intersection?

Fuse Electrical Parameters Explanation

Fuse is a very simple electrical part and yet needs to be properly selected. Its role in the circuit is very important actually. Selecting a right fuse starts with a good understanding on fuse electrical parameters. There are some important fuse electrical parameters to consider. These are the Current Rating, Ampere Square Seconds, Breaking Capacity and Voltage Rating.

Fuse Electrical Parameters Explanation

1. Nominal Current Rating

We will start with the current rating. This is an obvious specification of a fuse. This is defined as the rated current carrying capacity of a fuse which is normally measured at nominal operating conditions and ambient temperature of mostly 25ºC. This rating will change with higher temperature so be careful to avoid issues on your design. This rating must not be fully utilized in the circuit. A good rule of thumb is to set the circuit typical current to 75% of this rating only. Mathematically,

Fuse Electrical Parameters

Example 1

A particular circuit has a nominal current of 10A. Determine the typical current rating of the fuse to be used.

Fuse electrical parameters

In the above rule of thumb, it is obvious that the current that will flow to the circuit devices is higher than the nominal current in the event of abnormality. Be sure that the circuit components are able to withstand the excess current before the fuse act its role. In other words, you need to ensure that the components in series with the fuse have a current rating higher than the melting point of the fuse. So, every time there is sudden increase in current, only the fuse will blow.

2. I2t Rating (Melting point)

The second fuse electrical parameter to talk with is the I2t rating. Circuits involving large capacitance will have likely a very high current during start up (the time the capacitor is charging). This is called inrush current in other terminology. The current rating discussed above is only valid for steady state condition and cannot cover this phenomenon. Thus I2t is introduced by manufacturers. In some people or books/writeups, this is called as the melting current. In short, this fuse rating is designed for transient conditions. To avoid abnormal tripping of the fuse every time there is high inrush current, the I2t of the fuse must be higher than the I2t of the circuit. Mathematically,

fuse electrical parameters

Example 2

If a particular fuse has an I2t of 100A2seconds, what should be the maximum allowable inrush current of the circuit if the permitted transient period is 1 second?

Fuse electrical parameters

3. Voltage Rating

The third fuse electrical parameter to consider is the voltage rating. This rating is often underestimated and misunderstood by many circuit designers. Their argument is that fuse is connected in series to the circuit and has a very small resistance so why voltage rating is relevant?…In the event of a fuse melting or simply when a fuse open up, when the open circuit voltage is higher than the voltage capability of the fuse, explosion may occur and might trigger fire. This rating is more on safety reason not only for the circuit right functionality. Say if an open circuit voltage (when fuse blows) is 120V, therefore the rating of the fuse should be greater than this value. Mathematically,

fuse electrical parameters

4. Temperature Variation

The last fuse electrical parameter to tackle with is the temperature variation. In electronics circuit design, temperature is one of the big enemies to withstand. The current carrying capacity of a fuse will be greatly affected by the variation of the operating temperature. When the operating temperature is high, the current capability will decrease and the fuse will open earlier as it is designed at nominal conditions. All fuse manufacturers provided a graph in their datasheets which contains the current versus operating temperature. If there is no data like this in the fuse you are using, request one from the manufacturer. To site an example, see below.

Fuse Current Capacity Versus Temperature

Above illustration is taken from the datasheet of a certain fuse. As you notice, at 25ºC ambient temperature the current carrying capacity of a three types of fuse is in the fullest, at 100%. However beyond this temperature you can observe that the current carrying capacity starts to decrease. For example, a slow blow fuse current carrying capacity will decrease to approximately 82% at 65ºC operating ambient temperature.

To summarize, the purpose of the fuse is to protect the circuit in the event of high current. However, the fuse should not also over reactive with the short duration currents that it will open in unspecified condition. By considering all these fuse electrical parameters you can be sure that the fuse will operate as expected.

Line Brawl breaks out in NHL pre-season game with names like John Scott and Phil Kessel involved

While many people were sitting back watching the Bears @ Steelers game on Sunday Night which included myself, there was a game between the Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs that took place. It was a pre-season tilt in which the Maple Leafs won 5-3.

But the talks about the game didn’t center around those 8 goals, the story of the game took place at 10:01 of the third period when there was a line brawl sparked by big John Scott when he jumped Phil Kessel off of a face-off. But to get an idea of what started this melee lets review the play before.

It all started supposedly by a taunt after a fight between Corey Tropp and Jamie Devane, people have said Devane taunted Tropp after the fight. I have looked at the video and I don’t see the taunt. Tropp ended getting injured in the scrap. But Ron Rolston the Sabres coach then claimed after the game that the tipping point was when Toronto sent out Devane and lined him up against Tropp on a face-off that followed a goal. Seems to me like the Sabres got their feelings hurt but a willing fighter getting his butt kicked.

The video of the scrap is below:

Now enter John Scott who lined up with Phil Kessel on the next face-off as I mentioned earlier. Scott ended up jumping and throwing a punch at Kessel before the next face-off even happened. Kessel backed away from Scott and delivered two hard slashes towards Scott before two Maple Leafs jumped in and tried to defend Kessel and that didn’t even include David Clarkson who came into the scrap from the bench and is expected to face an automatic ten game suspension for leaving the bench to join an altercation.

Kessel ended up paired off with Ryan Flynn and Kessel to his credit bloodied Flynn during the scrap. The best fight in that mess was actually the goalies, Ryan Miller and Jonathan Bernier who actually squared off against one another after the original fights took place. I guess it was only fitting because they truly were the main event of the whole melee.

After the melee the camera showed Phil Kessel going back over to John Scott who was still tied up along the benches with David Clarkson and Kessel speared Scott in the stomach area lightly which infuriated Scott to no end.

Suspensions are likely in this situation. i think Kessel might face a suspension for his slash attempts and possible his post fight spear. Clarkson is facing and likely to receive 10 games for his role in the fight for jumping off of the bench. And Scott might get a suspension for jumping Kessel before the puck was even dropped. However keep in mind that the incident took place before the 15:00 mark of the third period which means Scott’s instigator will not cost him any time under the starting a fight with less than 5 minutes left in the third period rule.

Anyway the video of the melee can be seen here:

The teams do not meet again until November 15th and again on November 16th in a home and home series.

It’s Not a Bike Ride, It’s a Mission

The only thing I’ve ever finished was a value meal from McDonald’s. That was until I crossed the Obliteride finish line!

Obliteride is not just a bike ride, it’s a mission. 100% of every dollar raised benefits the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Living in Seattle, it’s an honor to support a local cause but Fred Hutch has helped cancer patients globally. This was where bone marrow transplants were discovered and first implemented. The hallways of Fred Hutch house not one, not two, but three Nobel Peace Prizes.

08.11.14 - Ellen Tailor Obliteride 1

The weekend kicked off at Gas Works Park where I was able to host the Opening Kickoff. I had just flown back into town from Chicago and rushed to the party. The weather was amazing and Tom Douglas even catered the event. Yum!

08.11.14 - Ellen Tailor Obliteride 3

Much love to Element Cycles in Redmond for setting me up with this oh-so-pretty bike! They outfitted me with a bike, helmet, and padded shorts that were an absolute life saver during the ride.

08.11.14 - Ellen Tailor Obliteride 2

Due to construction, the route turned into a 30-mile ride as opposed to 25. I almost quit 37 times during the first half. I thought of excuse after excuse. At one point, I even prayed a bee would sting me. Being allergic, I’d have to be rushed to the hospital. Listen to that! I would have rather been in the ER than finish the ride. Sheesh!

Once I hit halfway I started to get emotional because I knew I was going to do this. I was actually going to finish! I nearly broke down in tears a few times. There were many reasons why I didn’t though. The support I was receiving through my social media channels was unreal! Fellow riders would cheer me on. T.I.’s No Mediocre strangely popped up on my playlist exactly when I needed it. And the biggest sign of all was when the bike route took me right past the Greek Orthodox Church. I heard you loud and clear, God! So I kept peddling.

Four hours after starting the ride, I saw the finish line. It was right there! My butt was numb. My quads were on fire. I wasn’t first. I wasn’t last. I didn’t care though. I was going to finish!

08.11.14 - Ellen Tailor Obliteride 5

Holy crap! I did it! Sure, I walked up a few hills. Yeah, I was a tad bit slow. BUT SHIT YEAH I DID IT! I was overwhelmed with pride knowing I had finished this in honor of my mom, the breast cancer survivor.

08.11.14 - Ellen Tailor Obliteride 4There’s still time to help the amazing work happening at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. If I can ride 30 miles, you can open your wallet and donate a few bucks. Thank you to everyone who helped support my ride! This will be a lifelong shining moment for me!

Other posts you should read:

      1. Way to go, Ellen! It all starts with 30 miles! You did a great job on Friday night and your blog comments are SPOT ON!its not a race, it’s a ride. Cool people do this together and we are happy you are doing Obliteride!
