After a day of fishing in 2009, Larry Lunceford and Mike Oros were sitting around a campfire talking about how they could help veterans.
Both Lunceford and Oros had grown up in the Vietnam era, a time when veterans were sometimes not treated well upon returning home. When veterans began coming back in 2007 after the war sparked by the 9/11 attacks, Oros said that he began to see a repeat of that treatment. Veterans were being left to fend for themselves.
"The 'Ra-ra, Go America' stuff had kind of faded after 9/11," he said.
For him, putting an event together was about serving those who had served the country.
"This really just came from a couple of guys wanting to help soldiers," Lunceford said.
The pair wanted to create an event that would combine fly-fishing with helping vets heal. This led them to Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, and the Fly Fishing Film Tour event. They were able to bring the program to Summit County in 2010. Now, the town of Silverthorne will host the fourth film tour event and silent auction, with the proceeds benefitting Project Healing Waters, on Feb. 16. Cutthroat Anglers and Mountain Anglers, local fishing stores, helped to organize the event, which will be held at the Silverthorne Pavilion.
Project Healing Waters aims to take the calm of fly-fishing to connect disabled vets with peaceful rehabilitation, and develop camaraderie. The program also focuses on physical aspects, such as improvement of motor skills. Oros said that recreation has been on the forefront of studies, showing that it helps people to heal as an alternative form of therapy.
Veterans come from across the state to areas in Summit to pick up fly-fishing skills. Oros said that the program also helps to fund equipment since the sport can be expensive initially. In addition to the physical activity, Oros said that the program is beneficial in helping vets reconnect with others.
"One-third of our guides are Vietnam veterans or from other programs," he said. "It's extremely important for veterans to reconnect with other veterans in their civilian life."
James Buckley, the owner of Cutthroat Anglers, has been working with Project Healing Waters for the last six years. "Every once in a while you run into charitable event … and it just kind of grabs your heart," Buckley said.
Buckley said that they wanted to base the Summit film event off the one in Colorado Springs, which is one of the largest Project Healing Waters events in the country. He added that the fundraiser travels nationally starting in January, making Summit one of the earlier stops on the tour.
The first year the event was held in Summit, Buckley said that it was small, with only a couple of volunteers. But fundraising did better than expected.
"The first year someone predicted that we would be lucky to raise $4- or $5,000, and I think we raised $21- or $22,000," Buckley said.
Fundraising continues to grow every year, with between 300 and 350 people attending the event. Part of the success in fundraising is due to the community, as well as expansion of sponsorships. But Buckley also said that volunteers have become an integral part of the organization.
"We're starting to get a broader base of volunteers who are willing to go out and seek funds for the event," Buckley said.
Tickets are still on sale for $12 at Cutthroat Anglers and Mountain Anglers. Tickets will also be on sale at the door for $15. The films will start at 7 p.m., but doors open at 5 p.m. for food, drinks and the silent auction.
Buckley said that Project Healing Waters is about more than spending a simple day on the water. To him, the program has visible benefits for the veterans participating in it.
"It's not just a bunch of guys going out fishing that's for sure," Buckley said. "I'm no psychiatrist, psychologist or anything like that, I'm just, you know, a guy out there who's trying to help, and it's just amazing."

Minsk Group Co-Chairs Urge Baku to Avoid 'Further Escaltion'
OSCE Minks Group co-chairmen meet with Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev on Monday
BAKU—The Co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group issued a statement Monday following their visit to the region and urged Baku to avoid "further escalation of the conflict.
Below is the text of the announcement.
The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group (Ambassadors Igor Popov of Russia, Stephane Visconti of France, and Richard Hoagland of the United States of America), together with the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk, traveled to the region in June. The main purpose of the Co-Chairs' visit was to discuss the position of the Sides towards the next steps in the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process after the trilateral ministerial meeting in Moscow (28 April) as well as the overall situation in the conflict zone.
The Co-Chairs met with Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian in Yerevan (10 June) and with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Baku (19 June). In both capitals, they also held consultations with the Foreign and Defense Ministers. The Co-Chairs traveled to Nagorno-Karabakh (12 June) to meet with de facto authorities, and visited a number of territories around Nagorno-Karabakh, including the Zangelan, Kubatly, Lachin, and Kelbajar districts. In Baku, they also met with the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh.
In their talks in Baku, the Co-Chairs expressed deep concern over the recent violations of the ceasefire, resulting in casualties on the Line of Contact, on the eve of their visit to Azerbaijan. They appealed to the leadership of Azerbaijan to avoid further escalation. The Co-Chairs are sending the same message to the leadership of Armenia and de facto authorities of Nagorno-Karabakh. They encouraged the Sides to consider measures that would reduce tensions on the Line of Contact and the international border between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
In both capitals, the Co-Chairs called upon the parties to re-engage in negotiations on substance, in good faith and with political will. They underscored that this is the only way to bring a lasting peace to the people of the region, who expect and deserve progress in the settlement of the conflict. The Presidents expressed their intention to resume political dialogue in an attempt to find a compromise solution for the most controversial issues of the settlement.
The Co-Chairs will travel to Vienna to brief the members of the Minsk Group on 3 July. They also plan to meet again soon with the Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign Ministers to discuss modalities of the forthcoming work.
Popov, the Russian co-chairmen told reporters after the meetings in Baku that the OSCE Minsk Group hoped for the continuation of political dialogue between the parties to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs deeply regret the recent escalation at the frontline, Popov said, adding that they discussed this issue with the Azerbaijani president and defense minister.
"We deeply regret repeated ceasefire violations on the eve of our visit to the region. We should do our utmost to avoid re-occurrence of similar cases," Popov said.
"As a result of the discussions, it can be concluded that the presidents of both countries support the continuation of peace talks," said Popov.
On Saturday, one day ahead of the co-chairmen's visit to Baku and on the day that a fourth Artsakh soldier was killed, Armenia's foreign ministry issued a terse statement, which is presented below.
The absence of an adequate response can be perceived by Azerbaijan as an encouragement for new adventures," the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
The Ministry today express deepest condolences to the relatives and fellow servicemen of soldiers who fell today and yesterday as a result of flagrant violation of ceasefire by the armed forces of Azerbaijan along the Line of Contact between Artsakh and Azerbaijan.
In their last statement the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs condemned the ceasefire violations identifying Azerbaijan as the first to open fire. It is with such provocations that Baku reacts to this targeted statement thus demonstrating all its disrespect.
On the eve of the Co-Chairs visit the high leadership of Azerbaijan challenges the international community, first and foremost the Co-Chairs of the Minsk Group by holding large scale military drills without relevant notification required by the international commitments, continuously violating the 1994-1995 trilateral ceasefire agreements, as well as taking new steps aimed at the escalation of situation. The absence of an adequate response can be perceived by Azerbaijan as an encouragement for new adventurism.
It is obvious that Baku failed to move the peaceful settlement process through its desired path and now it tries to create an illusion of gaining an advantage on the frontline, which is also doomed to failure and fraught with unpredictable consequences, primarily to the side initiating escalation of situation.

We need to work on an ultimatum which we can carry out. The ultimatum will be for every Armenian dying, 100 Azeries will die. We need a strike force which can implement this. Azerbaijan has to realize the true price of war is not the oil money. It is it's own population. They have to know that every Armenian soldier dying will result in the death of 100 Azerbaijanis. If this program needs funding from diaspora, then be it. We need to work on this. It is the only language the Barbarians understand

Vegetable beef soup can feel like a meal by itself.
Although many vegetable-based soups are not very filling due to the lack of meat, vegetable beef soup can feel like a meal due to its protein content. Research from the May 2008 issue of the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" explains protein is more filling than carbohydrates and fat.
LIVESTRONG's food database MyPlate indicates that vegetable beef soup has a wide range of calories depending on the recipe, with anywhere from 76 to 170 calories per cup. If you base your diet on the suggested daily intake of 2,000 calories, then one cup of vegetable soup contains from four to 8.5 percent of your daily calories.
MyPlate indicates that vegetable beef soup has anywhere from 1.85 to four grams of fat per cup, including 0.83 to one gram of saturated fat. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, you should consume between 20 and 35 of your daily calories from fat for optimal health.
Each cup of vegetable beef soup contains 5.44 to 11 grams of protein, according to MyPlate. This is a significant amount, as the National Institutes of Health and National Library of Medicine suggest consuming between 50 and 65 grams of this nutrient each day.
Vegetable beef soup is rich in carbohydrates. MyPlate notes that each cup of this soup contains anywhere from about 10 to 22 grams of carbohydrates, including two to four grams of dietary fiber.

I have need of a LaTeX package. I think a lot of people would find this package useful. I would prefer not to write it myself.
This package would take a mode argument in the preamble and format the document in one of three ways: as a conference submission, as a camera-ready conference paper, or as a tech report.
Suppose I have a theorem and that theorem has a proof.
In a conference submission, the theorem would appear in the main text and would be re-stated along with its proof in an appendix.
In a camera-ready conference paper, the theorem would appear in the main text and the proof would not appear at all.
In a tech report, the theorem and the proof would appear inline in the main text.
Preferably, proofs could be included in the main text or sent to an appendix on a case-by-case basis. Proofs could also have "sketch" versions and full versions: the sketch version appears in the main text of a conference paper (either kind) and the full version appears only in a tech report.
Suppose that, in proving a theorem, I first prove a lemma.
If the proof of the theorem appears in the main text (or an appendix), then the lemma and its proof should also appear in the main text (or the appendix), before the theorem.
If the proof of the theorem is omitted, or if a proof sketch is included which makes no reference to the lemma, then the lemma and its proof should not appear at all.
One should be able to conditionally include text depending on the mode. For example, in camera-ready conference mode, one would probably include the sentence: "Full proofs of all theorems appear in a technical report [citation here]."
The only package I've found that does anything like this is thrmappendix , but it doesn't allow for a proof to appear in the main text at all. It's primarily concerned with the appearance and re-appearance of the theorem, with or without its proof; I'm primarily concerned with the appearance or suppression of the proof.

Via Matthew Yglesias, the best, most practical government reform idea I've ever heard: increase the size of the House of Representatives.
In 1789, the House had 65 members, each representing about 30,000 constituents. That number grew consistently for the next hundred years. In 1913, the size of the House was fixed at 435 members. At that time, each member represented about 200,000 constituents. Since then, the population of the U.S. has more than doubled. The average size of a congressional district is now 700,000 constituents.
Increasing the size of the house and decreasing the average size of a district.would have the following salutary side effects:
It would be cheaper to run for office, making more districts competitive and decreasing the need for fund-raising (and, thus, the influence of money).
It would decrease the influence of individual law-makers, thereby decreasing the amount of money to be gained from corruption.
It would make both Congress and the electoral college (which is based on congressional representation) more proportional and, thus, more little-D democratic.
To illustrate that last point, consider Wyoming and New York. Wyoming has about 500,000 residents, 1 House member, and 3 electoral votes. New York has about 19 million residents, 29 House members, and 31 electoral votes. A vote in a presidential election in Wyoming is worth about 3.7 times as much as a vote in a presidential election in New York. If we doubled the size of the House of Representatives, a vote in Wyoming would be worth only 2.5 times as much as a vote in New York. If we reduced districts to 30,000 constituents each (this is the lower bound specified in the Constitution and would yield a House with more than 10,000 members—picture the Galactic Senate in Star Wars, hopefully with fewer Gungans), a vote in Wyoming would be worth only about 1.1 times as much.
Now obviously that last scenario is not going to happen. In fact, it's hard to imagine the current Congress voting to make any change that would significantly reduce the influence of its own members. But the change doesn't have to be that dramatic: literally any increase would be a change for the good. And the population keeps increasing, so the problem will just get worse and worse. Why not shoot for, say, 50 new members after every census, with a target of keeping or slightly reducing the current average district size? It would not require a Consitutional amendment: the size of the House is determined by statute, just as the number, size, and shape of congressional districts are.
For more information, check out thirty-thousand.org.
P.S. While I'm at it, you may notice at left a badge for Change Congress, a somewhat goo-goo attempt by Lawrence Lessig for create a movement to political reform. I'm not sure exactly how I feel about this (just as I wasn't sure, as much as I admire Prof. Lessig, whether I really though he should run for Congress), but, if it doesn't cost me anything, I might as well cast my lot with the wild-eyed dreamers of the world.

Here's a video of me talking about Flashdance—a movie I had never seen before and plan to never see again—with my old friend Jonathan Betzler.
You know, I don't think I've seen myself on video in ten years or more (I like to remember things my own way. Not necessarily the way they happened) and I find this… surprisingly un-excruciating. Maybe it's a trick of the light.
Jonathan is threatening to do 23 more of these through the end of the year. (Last week was The Right Stuff. The rest will be posted here.)

Q: Under what circumstances do shorthand CSS properties REQUIRE separation of longhand components by spaces? I was 99% sure leading zeroes for float numbers in values of CSS properties were not necessary, but I wanted to make sure, so I tested the following animation on Codepen (here is the JSFiddle since I don't have an account for Codepen). The CSS is this:
div {animation:xxx infinite .99s; width: 100px; height: 100px; background: linear-gradient(to right,gold,green,blue,red,black)}
@keyframes xxx {from {margin-left: 10px} to {margin-left: 1000px}}

I then made a typo - and learned something about CSS in the process! I deleted the space between the "infinite" animation-iteration-count property value and ".99s" for the animation-duration, and noticed it didn't break the animation (see this JSFiddle):
div {animation:xxx infinite.99s; width: 100px; height: 100px; background: linear-gradient(to right,gold,green,blue,red,black)} // deleted space between infinite and .99s
@keyframes xxx {from {margin-left: 10px} to {margin-left: 1000px}}

I went to the W3 document for css animations - specifically the animation property and even though the example (Example #6) shows a <single-animation> with space-separated longhand property values, nowhere (that I found) does it say spaces are required (and I looked up the double bar || and I didn't see any mention of required spaces).
Notably, the following (which inserts a "0" before the decimal point of .99) DOES break the animation (Fiddled here):
div {animation:xxx infinite0.99s; width: 100px; height: 100px; background: linear-gradient(to right,gold,green,blue,red,black)} // added a "0" between infinite and .99s
@keyframes xxx {from {margin-left: 10px} to {margin-left: 1000px}}

I wanted to test for some kind of generality and found another case using the shorthand border property:
div {animation: xxx infinite0.99s; width: 100px; height: 100px; background: green; border: solid red.99px}
@keyframes xxx {from {margin-left: 10px} to {margin-left: 1000px}}

I repeated the same as above using "0" and got the same results.
Under what circumstances do shorthand CSS properties REQUIRE separation of longhand components by spaces?

A: From the CSS2 spec you link to:

Component values are specified in terms of tokens, as described in Appendix G.2. As the grammar allows spaces between tokens in the components of the expr production, spaces may appear between tokens in property values.

In short, spaces are required in situations where leaving out a space would result in two tokens being parsed as one token. The obvious example of this is, of course, border: 1px solid red, where leaving out the spaces would result in a single dimension token, 1pxsolidred, which is invalid since there is no such unit "pxsolidred". This is true nearly all the time, which is why you see spaces separating component values nearly all the time.
In the CSS grammar, infinite.99s can always be parsed as two tokens: the ident, infinite, and the quantity, .99s, because a period cannot normally appear in an ident (unless escaped). Therefore, it is not necessary to separate these two values with a space.

It's you chose if you want gimbaled of fixed weapon. Time on target will be higher what will increase total damage output with gimbaled for the most of us.
The cargo racks will be replaced later by hull reinforcement. Nothing is more frustrating than giving commodity away that you need to craft a module and long searched for, only because of no cargo hold left!
We begin with updating the Multi Cannons. We start with the multi cannons, because for "The Blaster" we need to go for bounty hunting, and we don't want to go for bounty hunting with anything in our cargo hold, but we want to keep found commodities we may need for crafting later.
Also to get the Multi Cannons will be our longest journey. We need in total 4 Tier 5 updates, and we will fall back to Tier 3 in reputation after every upgrade.
The special effects are optimized for killing shields and doing maximum damage to armor by using incendiary rounds to do max damage to shields and corrosive shell's to maximize damage through the hull.
I did realize it is hard to get the Modified Embedded Firmware. Here is a Guide. You can use this page to search for the Settlements and this page will help a lot too, because it has maps of all base types. Hunt for L1M and L2M bases for best droprate.
Power assignment is the most important thing in a Space-Fight. Always have one eye on it. To have only 1 pip on weapon when fully charged and not firing does mean that somewhere else you will miss some power. May be you can fire the boost 1/2 second later what could cost you the win?
So let's play greedy: always keep your power capacitors empty and charge them as fast as possible!
And this is why we use charge update. We don't need capacity because only used energy is energy in the hull and shields of our opponents.
May your shield never run low!
Yes, we fly with shields. We don't do silent running! Why not? Because we fly a Cobra MK III and not a Federal Assault ship. We are very weak on our armor.
But no problem. Our Cobra MK III has enough energy to power a shield cell bank, and together with the increased strength and resistance of our reinforced shields they will stay long and hard.
Improvised Components can be found in High Grade Emission USS in systems where the controlling faction is in a state of Civil Unrest. Those particular USS are more frequent in Deep Space, around 1000LS away from the Star and Planets/Stations.
Selene Jaen will make us hard as a rock! To counter the weakness of the Cobras fragility we need to increase our armor. Heavy duty armor is what we need! It does increase hull and armor. So we win enough time to wait for our shields to recharge even if it runs bad.
After talking to a couple of people I do recommend to do the RESISTANCE AUGMENTED SHIELD BOOSTER for both shield boosters. Your shields will come back faster if you loose them, because the capacity is lower and the resistance does stack!
Do I need to know all those people?
This is the longest way to go. We need to get in contact with 2 engineers we don't need for any update from - only to get access to tier 5 dirty drive tuning. This may tell you how important this update is? Dirty drive tuning does make us a lot faster accelerating and turning. It also increases our maximum speed and is by far the most important upgrade we can get.
But updates of the other engineers are giving us nice features, although they are not necessary for our Medusa MKIII. Who would not like to have a FSD tier 5 on any ship?

" How To Talk To Your GP About Mental Health".
I am a proud member of Black Dog Tribe and my blog posts are regularly featured on their site.
I have come across many different mental health forums, chat rooms etc. Some are affiliated to official organisations, and others growing from groups of like minded individuals. I found many on Twitter, it's worth doing your own research and having a go to see if something appeals to you.
There are a lot of different types of services that can help with mental health and wellbeing. Physical activity and diet can contribute so getting involved in yoga or sports in your local area can be very positive. Groups and socialising are also important, whether that is through social networks or sitting down for a cup of tea with a friend.
Talking therapies involve a professional therapist who will listen and help you through any issues you may have. They can be accessed through your local GP who will provide more information about the services available in your area or you can choose to access them privately (http://www.counselling-directory.org.uk/). For more information about services in your area try NHS Choices (http://www.nhs.uk/service-search) which also will provide information about whether you are eligible for free therapy or counselling through the NHS (http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/Pages/Free-therapy-or-counselling.aspx).
Within the UK the Samaritans, Mind and Rethink offer a helpline, email and instant messaging service for anyone who needs a listening ear.
Websites can provide information through articles and links that can help with a wide variety of daily issues that can be difficult to cope with when going through a touch time. Check out Mind and Rethink for some great advice pages.
Voluntary organisations can provide a huge amount of support with a community as they provide connections as well as, in some cases, acting as an advisory service. Organisations such as Mind http://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/local-minds/ run local services such as counselling, support groups and drop-in centres throughout the country.
Sometimes it can be very helpful reading about other people's experiences with mental health although it can also be a 'trigger' so do be careful. If you are interested in watching some videos the NHS Choices website have a number of personal stories as well as informative discussions from clinicians http://www.nhs.uk/Video/Pages/childhood-liver-transplant-episode1.aspx?searchtype=Tag&searchterm=Mental%20health&#browse-media-top.
as does the Mental Health Foundation http://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/get-involved/your-stories/.
There are many websites and helplines dedicated to providing support for children and young adults who are worried about their mental health but the best thing to do is to speak with someone you trust, perhaps your GP. They will be able to direct you to the appropriate services, for instance CAMHS (children and adolescent mental health service), in your area.
Young Minds http://www.youngminds.org.uk/for_children_young_people (be careful of stories with Trigger Warnings as these can be uncomfortable to read).
Sometimes the information online and from other people can be confusing, especially when it comes to mental health. There are a number of 'jargon busters' which help you to understand some of the more difficult terms that health services might use.
Sometimes it's nice to have information explained simply and clearly. EasyHealth provide accessible leaflets with information about mental health issues , information about services and videos .
I would like to thank Aislinn Bergin for all of her help in compiling this list.

Audi E-Tron GT, a beast with an electric heart, 590 HP and 400 kilometers of autonomy
argentina November 29, 2018 argentina
A few months ago, we introduced Audi to e-Tron, 100% electric car, SUV design for the widest markets and the new electric bargaining market. After this first attempt, today is the turn to face the new car, which is directed at the sports market, focusing on speed, but not eliminating the electric power. Get back to life Audi E-Tron GT.
He presents himself as a new member of the Audi E-Tron family four-door sports couponAlthough it reminds us of Audi A7, although it looks more stylized, it mixes the rhythm and luxury of the German manufacturer's line.
3.5 miles in 0 and 100 km / h
This Audi E-Tron GT will come with us The four-wheel traction that drives the 590 HP HP electricians offer usTo make it 0 to 100 km / h in 3.5 seconds. Its autonomy, they say, will take 400 kilometers with 90 kilowatts.
It's been a long time since the battery has been placed at the bottom of the vehicle, but it is not the type of cars that are mostly flat, but the ones that are thicker and thicker under the seat are where the feet are located.
E-Tron GT is compatible with a charging speed of 800 volts, It can be loaded up to 80% from zero to approximately 20 minutes. Something interesting is that the car has two cargo ports on one side, so it does not matter when charging the vehicle, and at the same time two double charging will be allowed in both ports, with less time to wait.
It will be the car too Compatible with inductive load It is designed through a pad that must be installed in the garage, which does not have a fast charge, but it is designed to be loaded all night long. The advantage is to forget to connect to the car every day.
But that's not all, it's also a cleaner interior, and it's the minimum necessary to drive "minimum emissions" driving experience. In addition to being completely electric, E-Tron GT wants to be ecologicalInside, we will find synthetic leather finishes and seats made from recycled fishing networks.
Audi has confirmed The production of E-Tron GT will start in 2021 later on the price will be announced.

Nudes & pastels | Outfits - Do You Speak Gossip?Do You Speak Gossip?
Every time, before I get dressed, I decide on my outfit… But even before that, I ask myself some questions and take many factors into consideration. Where am I going? Do I need to dress casual, or formal? Do I want to be absolutely comfortable today? Am I going to do a lot of walking? Do I need to carry a big bag with me to fit all my needed stuff for the day? Can I wear a dress? It may sound complicated but it's not, because those questions get answered in a few seconds. So I ask myself these, and I go on, deciding my shoes and bag for that day, and I usually built the rest of the outfit around those. For the day we took these photos, I needed to be comfortable (so jeans and a loose top were the best option), I was going to walk a lot (therefore I needed flats), and I needed a bag to fit all my stuff plus my camera, that would match the rest of the outfit. And this is how even the simplest outfits get created in my mind. There are many variations to this process, but it usually goes like this. How do you get dressed in the morning? What's your process?
Ακριβώς την ίδια!Και δεν έχω εγκαταλείψει ακόμα τη συνήθεια από τα σχολικά χρόνια να κανονίζω (έστω και στο μυαλό μου) από την προηγούμενη μέρα το outfit της επόμενης.Έτσι κερδίζω χρόνο και δεν τρέχω πανικόβλητη ειδικά όταν έχω πολύ πρωινό ξύπνημα. Απλό και πολύ ωραίο το σύνολό σου!!
Pretty in pastels, That necklace is amazing!
I don't know what I love more the bag or the necklace. Fab.
Τί όμορφα που τα συνδύασες!
Και σου πηγαίνουν πολύ ΚΑΙ αυτά τα χρώματα!
The same things go through my mind as well when I dress up in morning. Such a lovely pastel color casual look. I like that you dressed up your look with that statement necklace. Love your bag. It reminded me of my bag which I had years ago. Oh, I loved that bag.
my process is pretty similar. usually jeans/pants of some kind and i build my outfit around it. once in a while i like to have a small bag but it's hard if i want to shoot an outfit because of the camera! i should really wear more skirts/dresses too. your hair looks really good here and i love the necklace on you!

Old School Sword & Sorcery Commentary On X1 The Isle of Dread For Your Old School Campaigns
"Hundreds of miles from the mainland, surrounded by dangerous waters, lies an island known only as the Isle of Dread. Dark jungles and treacherous swamps await those who are brave enough to travel inland in search of the lost plateau, where the ruins of a once mighty civilization hold many treasures - and many secrets!"
If there's an adventure module that seems to be ever elastic & adaptable its X1 The Isle of Dread. This module seems to be one of the most easily adaptable of many old school modules. Recently I've been on a bit of a science fantasy kick & some friends suggested X1 for adapting to this campaign/thought exercise.
X1 has all of the makings of an experimentation or staging area of some ancient's laboratory. Many dungeon masters have added in science fantasy elements and much of it seems very reminiscent of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Who along with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World books seems to be a major influences on Isle of Dread. As the official Wizards of the Coast entry on the adventure describes,' Historically, we think of the 70s and early 80s as a time of dungeon crawls, but Cook and Moldvay both frequently pushed another aesthetic: pulp adventure.' This is one of the strengths of X1 Isle of Dread in that it frequently seems to get pulled into may folks 'lost world' adventure locations.
"Cook specifically describes "Isle" as having a "Lost World/Skull Island feel." It was one of two pulpy adventures he wrote at the time, the other being I1: "Dwellers of the Forbidden City" (1981), which centered on a lost city in the jungle. He'd later author two pulpy RPGs for TSR: The Adventures of Indiana Jones RPG (1984) and the Conan Role-Playing Game (1985).
Moldvay also had plenty of other pulpy experience. James Maliszewski thus identifies "Isle" as the first book in Tom Moldvay's Pulp Fantasy Trilogy. It's a pretty apt name, as "Isle" contains a dinosaur-filled island, X2: "Castle Amber" (1981) directly references the pulp writings of Clark Ashton Smith, and B4: "The Lost City" (1982) features a city beneath the desert sands.
The adventure's "Skull Island feel" means that it also also owed something to King Kong (1933). TSR would even more explicitly return to this inspiration with WG6: "Isle of the Ape" (1985)."
This brings up the point that while fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons placed the Island of Dread on the plane of Water, does this make the island a stable point as a planar nexus? I believe answer is yes because the entire island is an artificial ecology put in place long ago. The multi dimensional dimensional nature of the island is perfect link to the plane of water making this a great & highly abundant resource. This makes it perfect fodder for one of the original Lovecraftian races 'The Elder Things'. None of the monster combinations really makes sense except in a Moldvay/Cook ecological nice way. Making this a perfect adventure location for ancient ruins of the 'Elder Things' in a Dungeons & Dragons setting.
The Kopru, dreaming the restoration of their lost Empire might have been one of the ancient enemies of the 'Things' left behind after the destruction of their own empire. Dinosaurs & worse prehistoric monsters could be food stock let loose on the island having now established their own ecological niches. The various other races of the island could be simply castaways now having carved out their own factions.
But why has X1 been placed on the Plane of Water? Well there's a great article on On the placement of the Isle of Dread Posted by Stelio which actually has quite a few useful ideas for adventure fodder. There's also the The history of the Isle of Dread for a few ideas about old school referencing and more for X1. Threshold issue #3 Sea of Dread contains a boat load of adventure & campaign ideas for incorporating the Seas of Dread into an old school campaign. The Sea of Dread articles in issue four of Threshold magazine concentrate on traders and those navigating the horrid waters which surround the Isle and its environs. This was the former empire of the Kopru and now the waters are home to a myriad of underwater ruins of these horrors. There could still be many super science artifacts & relics there making this a very useful resource to an Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea dungeon master. Threshold issue four is available right over here
A mid-Expert campaign in the Sea of Dread by Giampaolo Agosta has some great ideas for a sword & sorcery style adventure campaign. These are great for a mid level group of players and PC's because they should keep things moving right along during table top play. X1 The Isle of Dread is balanced for Expert Dungeons & Dragons making this adventure perfect for mid tier retroclones such as Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea or Adventurer, Conqueror, King, Labyrinth Lord or even Swords & Wizardry.
Monsters, lost treasure,etc from a thousand planes are liable to have been washed up on the shores of X1. This makes it perfect for DYIing in your own twist on this classic module. In fact this makes X1 The Isle of Dread a perfect counter point to AS&SH's Forgotten Fane of the Coiled Goddess. The island could be another dimensional remanent that has been lost to the far future that caused the events of 'Old Earth. An idea toyed with ages ago making X1 a meet up point where the PC's are washed a shore by the dimensional tides.

Prince Edward School, rugby, Sables
Zimbabwe's Sables triumphed over the Simbas of Kenya at a rugby test match held in June. Whilst the victory caused much happiness for fans, there was grumbling about it being hosted on the school grounds at Prince Edward High School (PE).
One fan who queued outside the ground before abandoning the long line to watch the match on TV said afterwards, "I think it's highly inadequate. It can't take large numbers. It was overcrowded and chaotic and didn't make me want to come and support future matches. After all, it is a rugby field meant for schoolboy rugby not international matches."
PE staff were seen moving benches around for spectators during the match, and there were no proper facilities for match officials. The queue to get in the single entrance was long and slow, and tickets completely sold out. There were large numbers of people forced to stand for the match, and some complained of not being able to see at all. The queues for refreshments were equally frustrating.
There is a general feeling that the lack of an international quality facility in our capital city will affect the reputation of Zimbabwe Rugby. While there is no questioning the quality of the PE grounds for schools rugby, the latest event, which saw more than 4,000 people attend, shows that it is short on capacity for big match crowds.
Zimbabwe Rugby Union Chief Executive, Colleen De Jong, said, "For the Test against Kenya we hosted in excess of 4,000 people, excluding students in uniform. Currently, Prince Edward offers one of the best venues available to Zimbabwe Rugby for the purpose of hosting a Test Match."
She defended the use of the school grounds further, saying that "Prince Edward School meets the criteria for hosting of international games. There are strict and clear guidelines, protocols, and requirements from World Rugby. The hosting of a test match is monitored and administered in accordance with these requirements. A match commissioner is appointed from the executive of Rugby Africa and in respect of the test versus Kenya, this was Mr David Gilbert, Vice President of Rugby Africa."
Rumour had it that due to financial constraints, ZRU was using the venue for free and took gate keepings, while PE took away branding rights for hosting the game. De Jong dismissed this saying, "In accordance with Rugby Africa financial protocol, a hosting grant was disbursed for the purposes of hosting a visiting team." PE headmaster, Dr Sora, also defended hosting the game, saying, "PE's benefit was not monetary, it is the profile we get as a school and the exposure our students get from watching international matches. Being able to play in a curtain raiser for these games is motivating for our boys. ZRU did not get the venue for free but we have an understanding."
In the early 90s, national matches in Harare were hosted at the Morris Depot Police grounds, a pitch tailored to rugby before being converted into a soccer ground. Options for today's matches include Old Hararians Sports Club, Harare Sports Club, and Old Georgian's, though the latter needs to invest in better facilities to realise such a goal.
The Sports and Recreation Commission of Zimbabwe (SRCZ) is mandated to ensure that there is a Rugby Stadium that can be used to host foreign sides. They were unreachable for comment at the time of going to press.
The next clash is set for this Saturday at 3pm when Zimbabwe meets Tunisia at PE. The curtain raiser is between historic rivals St George's and Prince Edward. Tickets are $5.

What Every Christian Should Know About Same Sex Attraction (by Rob Phillips) quantity
Categories: Books, Ministry Support Group
Christians are in the crosshairs of today's culture which celebrates the gay lifestyle and accuses those who stand on Biblical convictions of engaging in a new brand of McCarthyism.
We should not despair, however. This is a God-ordained opportunity for followers of Jesus to love our lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender friends, and for the church to minister to those struggling with unwanted same-sex attraction.
What Every Christian Should Know About Same-Sex Attraction offers a brief overview of the Bible's clear teachings on homosexuality, and how Christians can express Christ-like love for our LGBT friends.
Rob Phillips directs ministry support and apologetics for the Missouri Baptist Convention. He is responsible for the convention's messaging, web, video and graphic services, live event support, technology, and promotion of the Cooperative Program and the annual Missouri Missions Offering.
He also speaks in Missouri Baptist churches and leads conferences on Christian apologetics, and he directs the Missouri Baptist Apologetics Network.
Phillips has extensive communications experience in business and Christian ministry and has served as a bi-vocational pastor. He holds a B.A. degree in journalism from Oklahoma Baptist University and is certified in Christian apologetics from the North American Mission Board.
He is the author of eight books: The Kingdom According to Jesus; The Apologist's Tool Kit; What Every Christian Should Know about Islam; What Every Christian Should Know about Same-sex Attraction; The Last Apologist: A Commentary on Jude for Defenders of the Christian Faith; What Everyone Should Know about the Afterlife; What Every Christian Should Know about Salvation; and What Every Christian Should Know about the Trinity.
Phillips and his wife, Nancy, have two children and reside in Jefferson City, Mo.

Perspective: ClassificationI Helped Classify Calls for Two Presidents. The White House Abuse of the System Is Alarming
Published 7 October 2019
The whistleblower at the heart of the Ukraine controversy said White House officials ordered information about President Trump's phone call with President Volodymyr Zelensky to be removed from the classified server typically used to store such information and placed on a hyper-secure "code word" server. Such special protections are typically reserved for material of the gravest sensitivity: detailed information about covert operations, for example, where exposure can get people killed. Kelly Magsamen, who staffed presidential meetings and phone calls with foreign leaders while she was an NSC staffer during the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations, writes that "It is difficult to overstate just how abnormal and suspicious treating the call in that manner would be. It strongly suggests White House staff knew of serious wrongdoing by the president and attempted to bury it — a profound abuse of classified systems for political, and possibly criminal, purposes."
The whistleblower at the heart of the Ukraine controversy said White House officials ordered information about President Trump's phone call with President Volodymyr Zelensky to be removed from the classified server typically used to store such information and placed on a hyper-secure "code word" server. Such special protections are typically reserved for material of the gravest sensitivity: detailed information about covert operations, for example, where exposure can get people killed.
The move was highly suspicious, the whistleblower said several White House officials told him, because "the call did not contain anything remotely sensitive from a national security perspective." On Friday, the White House confirmed that National Security Council lawyers directed that the call records be placed on that server.
"I served under presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama and worked for four advisers on the National Security Council's staff,"Kelly Magsamen writes in the Washington Post. "I have staffed presidential meetings and phone calls with foreign leaders and spent hundreds, if not thousands, of hours in the White House Situation Room. It is difficult to overstate just how abnormal and suspicious treating the call in that manner would be. It strongly suggests White House staff knew of serious wrongdoing by the president and attempted to bury it — a profound abuse of classified systems for political, and possibly criminal, purposes."
Magsamen notes that the records of Trump's conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi officials also were restricted to an unusually small group of officials, it now appears, though it's unclear whether the memos were placed on the special server, adding:
In my almost six years on the NSC staff, I never personally saw or heard of the records of a presidential call being moved to the "code word" system. Such a move would be justified only if a president and foreign leader were discussing material so sensitive that intelligence officials with top-secret clearance had to be "read into" to access to it — an unlikely prospect, even with our closest allies. Presidents tend to discuss general foreign policy issues, not the fine details of covert actions.
Moving the memo to the code word server suggests Trump officials really did know the call was as bad as the president's critics say it is. The argument some Trump officials are making — that they protected Trump's conversations to avoid leaks — is scarcely less damning, if the point was to avoid leaks of conversations in which the president leveraged U.S. power for his own political advantage (or endorsed foreign interference in U.S. elections).
If the code word server was used to prevent leaks as a general matter — the most charitable interpretation — does that mean all of the president's phone calls with foreign leaders are stored there? That, in itself, would represent a remarkable departure from the intended use of the classification system.


One in five private swimming pools does not have safety equipment, breaking the law obliging all pools to have a cover, alarm or barrier in place.
People who live in areas at risk from wildfires face hefty fines if they fail to clear trees and brush from land surrounding their property.
Our flat has a large balcony and we would like to enclose it with a loggia to make an 'outside room' – what are the rules? F.M.
We are thinking about offering bed and breakfast and we notice there are various labels that are attributed to these... can you explain the differences and the rules?

The Cloud Standards Customer Council (CSCC), an end-user advocacy group dedicated to accelerating cloud's successful adoption, today published version 3.0 of its Security for Cloud Computing: Ten Steps to Ensure Success paper.
The authors will host a complimentary webinar on January 10, 2018, from 11:00am – 12:00pm ET to introduce the guide. Event details are posted on the CSCC website at http://www.cloud-council.org/webinars/security-for-cloud-computing-10-steps-to-ensure-success-v3.htm.


Despite (or because of) the continual shift to online business, customers will seek a more personal level of interaction with customer service and sales representatives. Personal doesn't always mean face-to-face, but the ability to communicate easily with customers is key in 2011. Let your customers know exactly how to reach customer service reps—via social media, e-mail, instant message, etc. Continue to use direct mail tactics to help get the word out, but make these connections highly personalized with new printing techniques like small-batch personalization and full-color variable laser printing. These techniques allow you to add personal notes, change headlines and images and insert special offers based on each individual customer on your mailing list. Paired with personalized branded giveaways like a tote with the recipient's initial or a picture frame engraved with customers' names.
With social networking sites and the plethora of information available online, the new year of business continues to offer data on potential business partners and customers along with a means of communicating with them. Savvy small business leaders and sales people will continue to use social networking sites as tools to further engage in better quality prospecting and improve conversion rates rather than just using them to make a list of prospects. Use search tools and targeted ads on social media sites to find new business. Make a link from virtual to personal by contacting prospects directly with unique sales deals and a small gift, like a Designer Glass Plate or a Wave Multi-Tool Set.
Incentive programs, commissions and bonuses have been synonymous with small business sales teams for at least the last 50 years. However, throwing more money at sales teams to perform better, especially in these complex economic times may be a thing of the past. Some businesses are offering up conference and professional development opportunities in lieu of or in addition to commissions. Ask your employees what would truly motivate them to make a sale and seriously consider implementing their ideas. In between commission or reward periods, thank your sales team for their efforts in smaller ways with gifts like Game Night Poker Sets or a trendy watch.
An increasing number of small businesses will continue to host e-mail, accounting and document sharing in the cloud instead of on servers in their own offices. In fact, many small businesses looking to cut computing costs and improve efficiency are finding the many benefits of Internet-based software and services increasingly attractive. In fact, companies with 100 or fewer employees are expected to spend $2.4 billion on cloud computing services in the next year, up from $1.7 billion in past years.
Don't miss out on new business opportunities in 2011—stay current on trends and continue to engage existing and prospective customers in creative and personal ways. Doing so ensures your business will see results throughout the year and beyond.

What if you could grow a burger in the same way you grow grass?
Sounds implausible? Scientists at the University of Bath are taking cells from pigs and cows and growing them on blades of grass, joining a host of other researchers and companies who are working on meat production in the lab. The cells are harvested by biopsy and fed a solution of glucose, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, which helps them develop into mature muscle cells.
Cultured meat, as it's known, is indistinguishable from tissue from cows or pigs under a microscope. The researchers say it could be on supermarket shelves within five years.

Alternative ways of making protein are rising in popularity as the earth's population grows and people in developing countries start to consume more meat. A World Economic Forum White Paper on the future of protein said demand for meat will double in the 50 years to 2050 and called producing enough a "significant challenge." As well as cultured meat, other alternatives include insect-based and algae-based substitutes.
Soaring demand
Image: Journal of Science report
"Alternative proteins represent a rapidly emerging new domain within the food system," H Charles J Godfray, Oxford Martin School, Oxford University, wrote in the White Paper. "Alternative proteins that can act as substitutes for traditional animal‑based food are attracting considerable financial investment, research attention and interest in the media as a pathway to meeting the nutritional needs and food demands of a predicted mid‑century population of 10 billion, in a healthy and sustainable manner."
The report highlights the positives of meat alternatives, including boosting food security and animal welfare, as well as reducing the risk of food poisoning and cutting down the environmental impact of producing protein. Even so, it - and other research - acknowledges there are technical, socio-political and regulatory challenges to overcome before widespread adoption.
Several companies are already working on alternatives to the traditional burger. Dutch food technology company, Mosa Meat, is aiming to bring lab-grown meat to market by 2021. It says it wants to help satisfy soaring demand with products that are healthier, better for the environment and kinder to animals.
Another company, Impossible Foods, will introduce a plant-based burger to US grocery stores later this year. The "meat", already available in restaurants, comes from a plant molecule, which the company says has a fraction of the environmental impact of cow meat, using less land, less water and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 87%.


20 days to go !
Today we have twenty days to go to Comrades 2017, and by this time in three weeks it is all over. Can you guys believe it ? It feels like yesterday when we started the count down with 100 days to go and here we are, three weeks out.
Five months of really hard work, commitment and preparation will play out on the 4th of June when around 20,000 athletes will line up in Durban for the 2017 Comrades Ultra Marathon. This year it is an up run between Durban and Pietermaritzburg, for me personally this is more of a challenge than the down run.
My preparation went well and I am happy with where I am and I know that I have the potential to maybe have my best Comrades Marathon ever. My training went well, my times are on point, actually better than I expected, and I am determined and mentally strong and focused.
The best part still is that I am again able to do this to support the Bible Society of South Africa, to support their Run4Bibles charity assisting in Bible distribution. When the going gets tough, that is when I focus on the cause and the reason why I am doing this and then things become manageable again. This year I am joined by Thérèse Doman and together we will run #Comrades4Bibles.
Remember, there is still time for you to support this amazing cause. Every R50 we raise will enable the Bible Society of South Africa to make available a FREE Bible to someone who really needs it most. This way we can change not only a single single life but potentially a whole family. You can find more details about this charity on my web page at www.myownjourney.co.za/comrades – this is where you will get more info about the charity itself and also the details on how to make your donation.
I want to take this opportunity also to wish all my friends the very very best for their Comrades marathon. I really hope that this Ultimate Human Race will give you all an ultimate experience and leave you with the ultimate feeling of achievement. Go out and do your best and remember to be awesome.
Over the ninety something years Comrades became part of a South African tradition and over years became one of those items on any runner's bucket list, one of those must try items. Comrades Marathon definitely is, without doubt, an ultimate human race, the ultimate test of one's character, challenging the human spirit, which explains why complete strangers from local and abroad and from totally different backgrounds help each other to conquer this hilly course.
This year's theme is ZINIKELE, It takes all of you.
Since then I've gone back for more and this year I will run my fourth Comrades Marathon. The first one was special but really tough, so much so that I was one of those who said, "Never again" just to find myself back at the start line in 2015 to try to secure my back to back medal, and I did.
To me Comrades never comes easy. Getting to the start line takes all of you, hours of training, endless early mornings, races, places, dealing with injuries, fighting off the flu, sometimes more than one attempt to get qualified and get your seeding right. Preparing for this iconic race requires hard work and ultimate commitment, just to get to the start. On race day, before you can experience and enjoy the moment you cross that finish line before the 12 hours cut-off, the long road between Durban and Pietermaritzburg is often lined with pain, discomfort, desperation, confusion, questions without answers, uncertainty, fear, self-doubt. But it is not all doom and gloom, there are also moments of sharing, solidarity, encouragement, comrade and even humor and laughter as runners navigate their way towards the finish line. It is the encouraging words from fellow runners and total strangers that push you forward towards the end.
The fourth of June is going to be another tough day on the road. It is again an up-run and this is a real challenge for me. I prefer the down run, but this is part of the magic I guess of Comrades, to always challenge you on some level. For us, the so called "normal" and non-elite athletes, this is not a race, and if it is, it is only a race against time, a race against that clock that "seize to work" at twelve hours, when the final cut off gun with sound and determine whether you made it or not. I have learned over the years that a Comrades runner can only claim success when success is achieved.
During every run so far I met my runner's wall between 60 and 65 kilometer. This is where I go into mental overdrive where it becomes all about mind over matter, the will to carry on and finish what you've started arguing against your body that wants to stop. Fact is, the battle now becomes more with your head than your body because your head refuses to believe that you can make it. This "battle" also drains you mentally, emotionally and saps your body of what is left so I try to get this battle over as quickly as possible so I can carry on with the business of the day, getting to that finish line, in time.
In 2016 I started to run for charity when I joined hands with the Bible Society of South Africa and ran my first Comrades for Bibles. I read a lot about people supporting charities through their sport and I decided to give it a go, and this was without doubt the best move I could ever make. That runner's wall again came at around 60 kilometers, but the battle was short lived. When the going got tough, I reminded myself why I was doing this, so someone somewhere can get a free Bible and then suddenly the tough got going again and I had my best Comrades ever. I really think this is a tradition we as runners need to make part of your running journeys, running for something more than just a medal or personal achievement, but to also support a local charity and bring change to people's lives.
This year I will again run Comrades for Bibles – run the 87 kilometers raising funds for Bibles – sowing my support for Bibles, one kilometer at a time.
People say what I do is very noble, but to me this is all about Ubunto, meaning, "I am what I am because of who we all are." Running for a cause and this year, also for a friend, is a real blessing to me and means so much to me that it is not just about me, it is not just about my medal, my personal goal, dream or challenge, but it extends over boundaries and horizons much further than that.
My Comrades for Bibles charity drive is now open and you can show your support by donating to this cause. Every R50 donation will make available one FREE Bible to someone who really needs it most and goes to the poorest of the poor. It was Paul who said, "I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow." ( 1 Corinthians 3 :16 ) Each Bible we can place in the hands of the Bible Society of South Africa and ultimately in the hands of a stranger somewhere will not only bring a single person, but potentially a whole family, one step closer to a living relationship with God.
Today I am so glad that I am not forced to support one of the official and accredited charities associated with Comrades, so I decided to dedicate my kilometers to the Bible Society of South Africa. I have a dedicated web page for my Comrades for Bibles charity drive and I invite you to visit this page to learn how you can support this cause. I tried to make the process a little easier and hopefully we can top last year's R14,323.40 ( 311 free Bibles ).
Thank you for your support and for being part of my journey to Comrades 2017 !
As a Team – We will tackle his dream!
I (me Douw) was more walking than running when I survived my 5 km race way back in January 2011. That experience was, however, enough to convince me to lace up permanently and develop into a full-fledged runner. I loved it. Here I am, six years later and still enjoying this wonderful sport.
Throughout my running years I have learned that runners and walkers are not made from a single blueprint. We come in a variety of shapes, sizes, sexes, ages, colours and abilities, each one having his/her own strengths and weaknesses.
During Comrades 2016 Cornelia Hutchinson and I ran for more than our own medals by supporting the Bible Society of South Africa's Run4Bibles charity drive. We were overwhelmed by the love and support we received from our friends, family and even strangers. In the process we managed to raise a stunning R14,000 plus for Bibles.
This year my journey will be somewhat different. I have committed myself to run Comrades 2017 with a friend and to try ensure that his Comrades dream becomes a reality. Christo Kris Lourens will be by my side on race day. Our special challenge is that Christo has a hearing impairment and has a cochlear implant. When he runs without the transmitter unit, he is literally deaf and totally cut off from the outside world.
The main challenge for hearing impaired runners is always safety. Deaf runners always have to be constantly aware of their surroundings and watch out for traffic, not just cars, but pedestrians and other runners too. It is all evolves around their safety. For this very reason have I committed myself to assist Christo and be alongside with him – hopefully all the way.
Due to many factors, first and foremost the length of the events and the resultant exposure to numerous hazards, disabled athletes comprise a small minority in endurance sports. Christo and I decided that he can use this opportunity to inspire and motivate others and afford him the opportunity to serve as an ambassador for this minority group. It's a role he shied away from at first, but he now understands that having overcome the odds for himself, he now has the added responsibility to defy stereotypes that exist about deaf people in endurance sports.
Christo is such an inspiration to me, because he is living his life to the fullest while he just happens to wear a hearing aid along the way. He has successfully completed various road races, half and full marathons and he has also hiked the Fish River Canyon trail twice.
Sport is a great equalizer. We may not all finish at the same time, but our efforts and the end results are often not far apart. Our times may differ considerably but that is not the final benchmark. We have to embrace and respect the diversity of everyone's own challenge, and refrain from judging other athletes by ingenuous criteria alone. When we truly find out about the other person's challenges, the chances are that they may just surprise you.
Christo runs all his races without wearing his transmitter. Cochlear implants are sensitive pieces of electronic equipment and they are at risk of breaking if they fall out of the ear during vigorous activity. Furthermore, it is not only the transmitter that can be damaged, a sportsman with a cochlear implant is always at risk of suffering a blow to the head on or around the site of the internal package – which may damage the internal package or external parts or the skin around the area. This can happen during a fall or a collision with another person. These risks may seem small, but they are certainly real and any injury would have severe consequences.
I met Christo through mutual friends and we ran our first race together at the Castle Walk 10km on the ninth of August last year. Little did we know how our friendship would develop and what was lying ahead. That single certainly led to an amazing journey towards Comrades 2017. Another proof of the unique ability of this wonderful sport to create meaningful friendships.
When the entries for Comrades Marathon 2017 opened last year, I told Christo that if he entered for this iconic and amazing race, I would commit myself to be at his side and assist him in any way possible on this journey to make his dream come true. And here we are in 2017, Christo has entered and we are on our #Road2Comrades2017. The TeamVitality and Magnolia Road Runners duo is now pushing forward towards the forth of June 2017.
To date we have run various races together, most of them half-marathons – but we are literally only days away from our first joint marathon, the Johnson Crane 42.2km on 29 January 2017. Needless to say, it is important for us to get the qualifying race out of the way first so that we can then start working on the finer details of seconding someone. As a running duo we have to work on our communication, figure out how we will get one another's attention, how to keep eye contact while communicating, work out brief and simple instructions and start using pre-agreed visual signals to navigate our way safely though the massive crowd on the road. On all the races, but more so on Comrades race day, I have to be sensitive in order to pay attention to many aspects: how we run as a pair, our pacing and running conditions, and the physical and emotional state of my running partner. The responsibility rest firmly on my shoulders to get Christo safely over that finish line in Pietermaritzburg and I am determined and motivated to do just that.
Our running together is based on commitment and dedication but as we got to know one another better and started doing longer runs, I have noticed how the bond of trust has grown between us. I realised that Christo entered Comrades on the basis of this trust and if it wasn't for me he would have not done so. I am feeling blessed and so fortunate to share this amazing journey with him and to help him achieve his Comrades dream.
Meeting this amazing individual has forever changed my life and in the process added a new dimension to my own personal passion for running. Last year was a special Comrades Marathon when Cornelia and I ran for Bibles, this year will be double the blessing, running for Bibles again and helping a friend to realise his Comrades dream.
It seems that the above account carries two very important messages for everyone out there. When I started my own journey way back in 2008 I never thought to be living the life I do now. I literally afforded myself a second chance, gave myself a new lease on a happier and healthier life; started to run; lost 53kg; completed various half- full- and ultra-marathons, including three international marathons; and I will line up for my 4th Comrades this year.
Are you ready to welcome the New Year ?
Are you ready to step out and take a new chance on life ?
Are you ready to push your boundaries and challenge yourself to living your best possible life ?
People, this is probably going to be my last post for 2016 and I want to take this opportunity to first thank everyone for being part of my life and my journey throughout this past year. Thank you for your love and support and for believing in me, even when I didn't. It is so amazing to always feel the love and support form everyone, whether it is in person or via social media, Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. I really appreciate all the support.
This year was a good year for me with so many wonderful moments and experiences and the good definitely outweighed the not so good. Thinking about all the races I did, it all went well and I was blessed not to have too many injuries or stuff holding me back.
I did my third Comrades Marathon this year and it was an honor to do it this year for the Bible Society of South Africa's Run For Bibles project and Cornelia Hutchinson and I managed to raise more than R14,000 for this awesome charity. We were so blessed with the awesome support we received. This was also my best Comrades run to date – it was just a really good day on the road.
I also won the Discovery Vitality #MyVitalityPB competition during September and the trip I won to Athens Greece made it possible for myself and Pieter Venter to not only travel to Greece but also to run the Athens Authentic Marathon, celebrating 120 years of the marathon as we know it. What an awesome opportunity ! Feeling so blessed !
There were many other races, Two Oceans, Forever Loskop, Cape Town Marathon and many more – all wonderful events where I was able to share the road with my awesome running family and friends. Part of the highlights of all these events are always the people we get to share the road with. Thank you guys for making each event a special one.
During this year, a very special individual also entered into my life in the form of Christo Kris Lourens. I single this out because Christo has entered for his first Comrades Marathon and I will be his wing man during this special event. The #Road2Comrades2017 has started and you guys will see us on the road at around 40 official races as we train together in preparation for the big one scheduled for the 4th of June 2017. Together we will take on Comrades 2017 and I trust that we will be blessed with a great race, Christo's first Comrades and my fourth. Also once again looking forward to share the road on that day with so many other passionate runners from all over – turning ordinary into extraordinary !
This year will be another year of #MakingMilesAndMomentsCount and I cannot wait to share it with you all; lots of races, loads of early mornings, traveling, hundreds of traveling and running kilometers and off course lots and lots of photos !
People, as per my previous post, I hope it will be a year of growing, evolving, taking on of new challenges and pushing on to make dreams come true. Always remember this – this means we will have to make mistakes, we have to fail sometimes so we can succeed later. Don't be afraid to try new things, don't be afraid of challenging yourself and don't be afraid of making mistakes, because this will make the difference between staying where you are and rising from above the rest.
Here is to wish everyone a blessed 2017 !
There is a reason why we refer to Comrades as "the ultimate human race" because it will push those who take on the challenge to the very extremes. Bruce Fordyce says, "The Comrades is a selfish race and the race rewards those who dedicate everything to it." This is so true. It requires hard work, hours of dedication and commitment, loads of early mornings, late nights, traveling and social sacrifice and come race day your training is a mere part of the Comrades journey between the two cities of Pietermaritzburg and Durban. At some stage you push your body beyond training, beyond races done, beyond kilometres on the legs – then it is will power, determination and a deep desire to succeed that takes over and carries you from around 60km to the end.
Running has become my passion and for those who knew the "old me" this statement will sound absolutely ridiculous, but it is true. Running became my way of life, my routine. Comrades on the other hand became more than that, it became to me the only way I can show my courage and mental strength and capability. Taking on any ultra-marathon is as much physical as it is mental.
This year I decided to do all this for more than myself, to make it a Comrades for more than just a medal. Don't get me wrong, the medal is important as it symbolizes success and for me were going to be the proof of a third successful Comrades marathon. But I took a step back and got in behind the Bible Society of South Africa, supporting their Run4Bibles project. My Run4BbleRands-friend Cornelia Hutchinson joined me this year and together we embraced the opportunity to run for something more than just ourselves.
Myself and Cornelia had an amazing Comrades race, we had a great day on the road; for me personally, my best Comrades run ever and even got to run a personal best. It was just a good day. What made the difference I believe was the fact that we were constantly reminded that this race was for more than just a medal, it was to support the Bible Society of South Africa, to support their Run4Bibles project, it was about the people who have given so generously towards our cause, but it was ultimately about those lives that would be touched and in many cases changed because of a free Bible they are going to receive. When the going got tough, when the body started to complain, I kept on reminding myself of one thing and one thing only, "By doing this charity run you are helping real people and real lives can be changed." That was all the motivation I needed to carry me to the very end, to the finish line at Kingsmead Stadium in Durban.
For those of you who have followed our Run4Bibles charity drive on social media will know that Cornelia and I have been blessed with so much love and support, so many open hearts and open wallets. People got behind us to support this awesome cause and together we managed to raise a staggering R14 323.30 for the Run4Bibles project. With this money the Bible Society of South Africa will be able to make available approximately 311 free Bibles to those who need it most which includes grade 7 learners attending schools in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods, prisons and the poorest of the poor. We cannot thank everyone who have supported us enough – and a plain "Thank you" seems to be so insignificant, but if we think of those lives that can and will be changed because of your generosity, then a heartfelt "Thank you" has to be enough.
Photo : Cheque handover with Shaun Verster, Store Operator of Eagle Wing Spur. They donated R2750 to the Run4Bibles Cause. Thank you !
Cornelia and I will continue with our Run4BibleRands project where we donate R1 for every kilometer we do in races every month to the Bible Society of South Africa. If you want to join us on this exciting and life changing journey, then get on touch with me or visit my web page for more details on how to sign up. Together we will continue to show support for Bibles, one kilometer at a time.
