After several years of running ultras and all the goals that I have placed on myself and achieved, one would think that I’ve done it all. But setting new challenges is what keeps me motivated to get out there to train and race. Setting PRs at various distances is a challenge that is hard to achieve the older and slower one gets. Yes, yes, I know I’m just a babe in many people’s eyes, but in terms of lifetime miles from the time I started running 7 years ago, I have put a lot on these tires of mine and feel as if the tread has been worn on them for a while. So where did I get this crazy notion of trying to run 100 miles in under 20 hours?
In 2007, when I was around the peak of my running, I ran Rio Del Lago 100 mile race in Sacramento. I finished in 21:48 (which fulfilled my goal of 100 miles in less than one day), but felt that my asthma, losing the trail several times, and running without a pacer in an unfamiliar city at night resulted in a slower time than what I was capable of. Since then, I have felt that 100 miles under 20 hours was within my reach. But after completing my 3 years with 51 or more races per year of mostly ultras and getting into the Maniac Hall of Fame, I was worried my speed was pretty much gone. I knew there was no possible way of running such a time in a mountainous 100 miler. I know of fairly “flat” 100 milers, but those races are pretty far away. I never considered running a 24 hour run but decided that Pacific Rim One Day was my best chance. Usually on this particular weekend in March, I sign up for Chuckanut 50K. I wasn’t looking forward to the prospect of running around a one mile loop at Pac Rim 100 times, but I thought that was preferable to a high school track.
Training leading up to the race was sub-optimum. I pretty much cannot run during the week due to long hours at work, and I just can’t seem to wake up at 3am to get my running in on my treadmill. I’m an outdoor runner. I was able to get out for long runs on a few Mondays that I have off, but the majority of my running has been back-to-back long runs on the weekends, often involving a race on one of those days. I didn’t do any type of speedwork. The fastest I ran before the race was with a couple other girls who I met at 5:45 on a Saturday morning to run 9 miles before the larger Cedar River Runners group met at 7:30am to run 14 flat miles. I ran with Heather, who is in her 40s, has 4 kids, and is incredibly fit and Sarah, who is younger than both of us and has a family of her own too. I was thinking we’d start out slow and pick up the pace. But Sarah with her bouncy morning person stride took off like it was a 5K race and Heather and I struggled to keep up (at least I was). Heather’s heart rate monitor and watch were beeping off letting her know it was too high. She said it was running 200! We slowed down, briefly. Fortunately, when we were done and met the 7:30 group, I could catch my breath and have a more leisurely run settling in the usual plodding pace that I am used to.
I took the day off from work the day before the 24hr, a luxury of resting before race day that I don’t usually have. Friday’s are always hectic at work with patient’s calling to get in before the weekend and being on my feet constantly. This type of being on my feet bothers me a lot more than if I had just run that day. My Friday off was still very busy doing chores around the house and getting ready for the race. I made garlic mashed potatoes and Rice Krispies treats to eat during the race. Boiled potatoes for me are always hard to chew and swallow, often because they are undercooked. I decided it would be easier to get mashed potatoes down, and I made it with lots of butter, garlic, and sour cream. I loaded everything I needed in a large cooler: extra clothes, shoes, Gu, E-caps, my inhaler, Imodium, Mucinex, the mashed potatoes in paper cups, Rice Krispies treats, vanilla Frappuccinos, Coke, my MP3 player, and extra batteries.
I had a restless night, dreaming about a very small circle that I kept running around and around on and the circle kept changing in size. I met Tony Covarrubias at 6am Saturday morning and we rode to the start together at Longview, WA. Many were already there set up. Tony felt there were more runners than usual, possibly because Chuckanut filled up very early. He also warned that despite what other areas were doing, this race is notorious for wind and rain. We had lap counters and there was an aid station at the start of each loop, which I only used a few times the entire race. There was also a Honey Bucket just past the ½ mile mark as well as flushing bathrooms at the end of each mile loop. The loop consisted of running about 200 feet on a concrete sidewalk before it turned into a fine gravel groomed path. Just a short distance after, you had to make an almost hairpin turn (my cooler was just before the turn), then very slight down for a short distance followed by a short but little steeper up on a section of the trail where the gravel was very loose and annoying. Most people walked this early on but I refused to do so. Then you had to run across a metal bridge over the water just about 150 feet that made a terribly loud noise, followed by 50 feet of concrete before getting on the groomed trail again. Then you ran straight on this flat section of trail for just over a ¼ mile before a short steep hill (just a few steps) onto another bridge over the water that was concrete (I started to walk this flat bridge after 26 miles because it was hurting my feet slapping against it). After the bridge, you could stay on the concrete sidewalk or run on the grass that people were stomping out a trail before turning right for another over ¼ mile straight section back to the start. This sections starts with a slight down, then flat, then slight up to a turn for the last straight section to the finish, which again was a concrete sidewalk that I ran on the grass nearly every time. So the loop is not completely flat and the turns and slight ups definitely slowed people down. I didn’t run one mile under 9 minutes, and my average pace for 100 miles is just under 12 minutes. It’s strange how the slight downs are imperceptible and at least in my case did not help at all, but the slight ups definitely were challenging, especially as the miles rolled by. The race was on the trail system around Lake Sacajawea. Although I recently cut 3 inches off of hair, I bet my pigtails made me look like the ghost of Sacajawea from behind. I bet she would have been a great Ultrarunner!
I started out conservative, averaging around 9:30 pace for the marathon distance. I covered that in about 4:20 including a couple bathroom breaks. The weather was very good, considering past runs. I was out for 22 ¼ hours and it only rained on us once, which even then only lasted 5 minutes. We did have breezy conditions during the day, but again, could have been a lot worse. After I stopped running, the rest of the people still out there had to deal with rain and wind while I tried to warm up in Tony’s car. I finished 50K in about 5:05 (PR 4:28). Someone asked me afterward how I managed to pace myself to meet my goal. I told her I didn’t have a plan other than having to keep my overall pace below 12 min/mi. So I knew that I had 2 hours to finish 10 miles, an easy way for me to keep track. Of course I knew I wouldn’t be running that slowly to begin with but I still found myself keeping up the pace to bank time because I knew I would slow down significantly in the second half. Now we all know that it is not wise to bank time in a race. Doing it in a marathon is unwise, and doing it in a 100 miler could be simply catastrophic. I have also told people asking me how to pace for a 100 miler that if they are feeling good, they are going too fast. My first 20 miles actually hurt, but I settled into a nice slower and less painful pace from then until 50 miles. Basically, I was throwing all the rules out the window and just kept moving forward. I feel that one of my gifts as a runner is my ability for relentless forward motion. For the entire 100 miles, I probably walked no more than 3 miles of it (such as when I started walking the concrete bridge after 26 miles, when I drank my Frappuccinos, and when my quads were shot from miles 94-95). Veterans of 24 hour races will tell you that a run/walk strategy like run 5 miles/walk 1 mile will allow you to keep going for 24 hours. But that was not my goal. My goal was to get 100 miles under 20. I hit 50 miles around 8:30 (PR 7:19) and 100K around 10:40 (PR 10:23). These splits are not much slower that my PRs for these distances, so I really was pushing myself. I stopped at 50 miles to adjust my shoes. My feet were swelling and my big toes were rubbing against the shoe, causing hot spots. So I sat on my cooler and took of my liner socks and slathered Vaseline on my big toes and more under my bra and between my knees. I didn’t have gaiters on. I had lent them to Olga because she forgot hers. I did have small rocks in my shoes, but Olga looked like she needed them more than I did. My hot spots went away and I had very little blisters at the end. After sitting about 3 minutes (the longest time I stopped moving) to do that, getting up and moving again was quite a chore. I had stiffened up a lot in that short period of time. That’s why I never sat down at CCC 100 miler.
The miles just dragged. Listening to music did help and I had it blasting at times. Many people tried to talk to me and occasionally I would take out an ear piece and talk back, but for the most part, I just kept moving. I had a plan and was focused. Plus, no one was really running my pace. Either they were going slower or faster. I needed to maintain my pace. After 70 miles, the music did not really help much anyway. It’s amazing that I was only able to get through 270 of the 470 songs on my player in the entire time I ran. I couldn’t believe that at 60 miles, I still had 40 miles to go. Hitting 70 was better to take, since I knew I only had 50K to go. At 70 miles, I still had about a 1hr45min cushion if I maintained 12 minute miles. But at that point, my mile splits were just about 12:40 pace, so my cushion was slowly disappearing. At 80 miles, that cushion shrank to 1hr30 min, and by 90 miles, it was just over an hour. But then, at about 94 miles, my quads just stopped working. I had done a good job up until that point of eating and drinking. My schedule was eating mash potatoes every 2 hours (after my marathon distance) and alternating a Frappuccino every two hours. The mashed potatoes in paper cups were great. I had a spoon and just scooped it out little by little and licked it like it was a popsicle. It went down easy and I could continue running. The Frappuccino required me to walk to avoid getting it all over myself or choking on it. I walked twice per loop to get it down, 20-30 seconds each. Next time, I will put them in bottles with mouth pieces so I can continue running. I also continued my Gu in between and took a Succeed E-cap every hour. I had a hand held bottle with Gu20 that I refilled every 5 miles and ran without it while I either ate mashed potatoes or drank my Frappuccino. I had pretty much a system down. I never ate any of my Rice Krispies treats. Between the Gu and Frappuccino, I didn’t want anything else sweet. Same with the Coke. I grabbed a cup of water every once in a while at the aid station to rinse my mouth out. By mile 94, I had run out of Frappuccino, the mashed potatoes were not as tasty as earlier, and it was starting to get cold. I think my body simply decided to shut down. I started walking/running. Regulating your body temperature was hard on this course because one side of the water was warm and the other breezy and colder. Finally, at 94 miles, I stopped and put on a pair of pants and long sleeved shirt. Up until then, I had worn shorts, a short sleeved shirt, heavy arm warmers, gloves on and off, and a Smartwool head band. By mile 95, I recuperated after adding clothes and eating again. My last mile was under 13 minutes and I finished with a healthy cushion in 19 hours and 31 minutes! I was elated! Finally, I could walk, eat, RELAX!
But as soon as I stopped, I froze! I was planning on walking the rest of the time, but I just couldn’t warm myself up. I went to the car and changed into a dry sports bra, couple shirts, shell, fleece pullover, and thicker long pants. I changed my socks but kept the same shoes. I put a new hat and gloves on and just started walking. With the clothing change, it took 45 minutes to finish that lap. I walked the next two miles, then had 3 or 4 good miles where I was actually running again, then hit a wall again at 106 miles. I dragged in another 2 miles of 20+ minutes each and called it quits. I needed to warm up again. I went back to the car and threw my sleeping bag over me. I was shivering and forced down some food. I watched from the comfort of the car people running in the last few miles and minutes before the cut off in the rain and wind. It was impressive to see how fast they were moving after running for nearly 24 hours. I brushed my teeth, which was great! My teeth were not sensitive, thanks to rinsing my mouth with water frequently.
Lisa Bliss finished first woman with 113 miles. I finished with 108. She continued on for the entire 24 hours while I ran 22:19. Although I finished 100 miles before she did, she ran a smarter race to be able to continue to the end. But I had a different goal for the day and was pleased I met it. Lisa was able to run this many miles despite nausea. She is such an impressive runner who is even tinier than I am! She has run much tougher races including winning Badwater 135 miles a couple years ago. The top male was her main squeeze, Tim Englund, with I think 126 miles. These were both new course records, and rightly so with the weather cooperating. *tc ran 108.5. I think we were all winners that day.
The volunteers were just great. Every mile I came in, I received a “Go Van!” or other cheer. And similarly, other runners were rooted on. The food at the aid station look appetizing, but I didn’t even allow myself enough time to stop and enjoy the selection. The lap counters sat in the cold keeping track of our mile splits. I was hitting my watch every time for my splits and it went over 100, but unfortunately, it only stores 30 splits! There were two “Pitch In!” trash containers after the start of each loop, which were these creative stands of a person holding a trash bag. What was nice about this was that you didn’t have to slow down to throw your trash away. They were right off the trail. There were garbage cans on the trail, but most of them you had to step 1-2 steps off the trail to throw something into them and I just didn’t have the time to do that-crazy as that may sound.
I looked miserable to the other runners after the race, hobbling along slowly to the brief awards ceremony. I could have used crutches at that point because my right knee and right sacroiliac joints locked up. Went to breakfast with a bunch of people but the food did not look appetizing when they brought it. I knew I needed to eat to help with the nausea I was feeling and picked a little at it. Tony drove us home with me bobbing my head and talking in my sleep. At first, he was not sure what to make of it but then realized he could ignore me. I was planning on helping him drive but I was useless. He did stop to catch a few zzzzzs part way home. I slept poorly that night unable to get into a comfortable position with my knees. Then I was in surgery and on my feet all day on Monday with 7 cases, holding retractors and big legs up. This was followed by being on call that night. So I had poor sleep the night before the race, no sleep day of race, poor sleep night after race, and on call on the 4th night. My first full night of sleep did not come until 6 days after the race. I was able to walk normal by Thursday without any pain and went on a run on 6 mile 9:30 pace run Friday. By Saturday, I ran 14 miles with the Cedar River Runners and had no pain anywhere. In fact, I felt good enough to run a 50K. That made me feel confident that I will probably be ready for my 150 miler after just over 2 ½ weeks of taper. Yes! This time, I’m actually going to taper!
Well, there you have it. It was the longest distance I’ve ever run. The longest time I’ve ever run was 35+ hours at Coyote 2 Moon. I know that if I finish McNaughton, I will have both run my longest race and been on my feet longer than ever before. I’m going to miss the Maniac Reunion at Yakima River Marathon since I’m on call for work! Best to you all and wish me luck as well in my 150 miler!

Doing business in Russia is a fascinating experience for many reasons. It is almost always a multicultural experience involving some combination of participants from countries of virtually every continent, in addition to Russians. But for me the most intriguing part is the Russians themselves, as well as the complex set of perspectives that shape the prism through which any individual Russian views a personal or business relationship or decision. This essay explores one of the less apparent, but powerful, factors that forms an important component of many Russians’ view of the world and life. It is a factor that has become deeply imbedded in the Russian character, particularly during the last century.
History teaches Russians that the power of fate to destroy is such that few institutions are strong enough to last — be they governments, banks or corporations. For most Russians, the foundation of stability in life is provided not through savings or life insurance, but through owning one’s own apartment. Receiving an apartment was the ultimate achievement during Soviet times, and it remains the primary goal of most young families today. This priority will be familiar to people of other cultures.
The difference arises when it comes to saving for, buying and choosing the location of the apartment and reliability of their employers.
Perhaps Russians value personal relationships so much because they put little trust in institutions and believe that fate is a capricious force that preys on us all. If it is difficult for an employer to convince most of the staff that the company’s mission is great and holy, although there is a distinct strain of believers that will enthusiastically embrace corporate infallibility, it is quite realistic to grow a strong sense of community and family at work.
The team, or kollektiv, can be an amazingly strong binding force that drives incredible commitment and sacrifice. There can exist an extremely strong sense that we are in this together, that we must stick together to overcome the threat of some outside force, be it competitors, the tax authorities, market forces or corporate headquarters. The veteran Russian kollektiv will display the same sense of camaraderie found among soldiers who have survived a campaign together.
Equally, it can also present an unassailable wall for the expat manager who is viewed as an outsider. Corporations and leaders seeking to develop and change a local Russian business, particularly one that has successfully navigated the dynamic growth and crises of the last 20 years, must recognize the challenge and opportunity that a strong kollektiv represents. All successful organizations exhibit a natural resistance to change. But here such resistance is often underpinned by the deeply ingrained Russian yearning for stability and fear of change — that hand of fate that may once again come and sweep away everything one has built.
Fifteen years after moving to Russia, I find myself in a strangely contradictory position. I spend most of my time working in Russian with a largely Russian kollektiv in which we have grown up and experienced a lot of success together. At home I am absorbed in a loving Russian-American extended family. As the head of our kollektiv — which is now the Russian branch of a major international corporation — I am challenged to lead change and growth without becoming the destructive hand of fate in the eyes of our kollektiv. I seek to retain my credibility at headquarters as the right leader who understands where we must go and has the will to take us there, while retaining the trust of my colleagues that I will not betray them for the sake of career.
Five years into the role, we seem to have made some progress along the right path. Frankly, the global economic crisis that hit Russia hard has been a help. It presented an undeniable need to change to a group that had unavoidably become somewhat spoiled by success. It brought near ruin to several competitors while leaving us relatively intact, which helped convince the head office that we more or less have the right approach. And it helped me personally recognize that part of being loyal to the kollektiv is facing up to change and getting out in front of it, rather than reacting to it. But there are plenty of interesting challenges ahead — we have a long way to go, and who knows what fate has in store for us next!
Be it selling change to a successful team or designing a market campaign for a new product or service, the expat should do his best to take into account how strongly fate hangs in the background of the Russian psyche.

against the president and individuals from his Administration.
Presiding over one of the first major tests of press rights under President Trump, Judge Timothy J. Kelly of United States District Court in Washington ruled that the White House had behaved inappropriately in stripping Mr. Acosta of his press badge shortly after a testy exchange at a news conference last week.
The administration’s process for barring the correspondent “is still so shrouded in mystery that the government could not tell me” who made the decision, Judge Kelly said from the bench. Taking away the pass that gave Mr. Acosta access to the White House amounted to a violation of his right to a fair and transparent process, the judge ruled.
Soon after the ruling, Mr. Trump said the White House would tighten its rules for how journalists must comport themselves at the White House.

The days of walking into a pharmacy and waiting in line may soon be over. While pharmacists will always be necessary, people will soon be able to rely on new technologies in order to maintain their health. You may have already seen a kiosk installed inside of your local drug store, and that’s just one of the new technologies being introduced. As the world evolves, the medical industry is finding it easy to keep up; much to the benefit of both professionals and patients.
Some health insurance companies are requiring that their policy holders utilize mail-order pharmacies for long-term prescriptions. These central-fill stations, as they are sometimes called, fill, verify, pack and deliver prescription medication to pharmacies or, in many cases, directly to the door of the patient.
While an average pharmacist can fill over 300 prescriptions a day, these off-site pharmacies can fill close to 60,000 prescriptions during a single shift.
If these pharmacies seem appealing to you, then it may be time to try out online ordering. There are several online pharmacies, such as Medicines Mexico, that let you order medication through the web and have it delivered to your home.. The immediate benefit of this is that you save a significant portion of money via bulk buying.
It also saves you time and gas money on trips to the drug store. Aside from conventional medications, you can order vitamins as well as women’s health products at a discounted rate.
ScriptPro has introduced the world to the robotic prescription dispensing system. Requiring a very small amount of space, these robotic systems can do all that a human can: verify, fill and check prescriptions for accuracy. The utilization of these systems is thought to improve operational efficiency and patient safety. Human pharmacists will realize an increase in the time they are able to spend with patients, answering questions and imparting information.
While you can’t get prescription medication out of an automated kiosk, yet, you can educate yourself and get help in choosing the right OTC medication for your symptoms. By answering questions and inputting your symptoms, you can a personalized recommendation from the machine. Additionally, patients can get information about the suspected illness and be directed towards the location of the recommended medication within the store.
The ability to send prescriptions electronically is nothing new for physicians, though measures are being taken to improve the current system, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The system, as it is, is wrought with fees that many pharmacies simply don’t want to pay.
There is a benefit to patients, however, and that is that fewer mistakes are made due to doctors scribbling across prescription pads; typed e-prescriptions are often much easier to read. Though mistakes are still made, the rate at which they occur is far less than has been seen in traditional methods of writing and filling prescriptions.
Consumers now have more control over the monitoring of their personal health. Rather than making a run to the drug store to have their blood pressure checked, for instance, people can check their blood pressure at home with a simple hand-held device.
In addition, patients can read their blood glucose levels, cholesterol and heart rates. Readings can be uploaded to a database, allowing medical professionals, including your pharmacist, to become a partner in your well-being.
As with many other professions, pharmacists’ worlds are changing. As we become more technologically advanced, it only makes sense that the way that we take care of our health becomes more automated. While there are those pharmacists who aren’t happy with the changes, most are welcoming new technologies with open arms.
Tasha Matsumoto is an avid blogger. If you’re excited about the future of pharmacy and want to pursue it as a career, several schools offer online degrees in pharmacy, including University of Florida and Creighton University.

Lead roofing replacement in Birkenhead may become an important expense for home-owners who might be faced with the prospect of a cracked or leaking lead roof. Whether you have a lead roof over your home or a lead bay roof, you will need some professional help to fix the problem, especially if you aren’t very good at handling extensive do-it-yourself (DIY) projects. While you might want to go DIY in this aspect as well, it might not be a good idea considering that the roof is an important part of your home and you wouldn’t want to live under a structurally unsafe or less-than-perfect roof.
In Birkenhead, lead roofing replacement jobs are carried out frequently by the professionals at Furber Roofing. We understand the effect of weather and temperature on lead roofs and how the lead expands or contracts under various conditions. Fatigue is the most common cause for leaking or cracked lead roofs, usually caused over a long time of expansion and contraction of the roof materials. Minor splits can be managed with simple materials but they do not provide the long-term solution your home needs to stay safe and secure. Over time, the expansion and contraction does not stop, so the crack just gets bigger and bigger.
Calling in a lead roof replacement expert, in Birkenhead, like Furber Roofing can save you a lot of trouble for a long time to come. Not only do we know how to put your lead roof back together, we can put it back together like it was brand new. If the problems seems big and it looks as if the roof may have been damaged beyond repair, we carry out complete roof replacements to ensure that you don’t have to worry about any further damage or any long-term costs associated with regular repairing jobs on the roof. All that comes from a contractor who was the first to be accepted as a member at Wirral Trading Standards and a part of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors! Reliability, integrity, great skill and extremely low costs – what else could you ask for? Contact Furber Roofing today.

The Security and Exchange Company, according to rule, 21F-17, says an employer cannot make and employee sign a waiver that forces them to waive their right to communication with or financial awards from the commission. Per recent case against BlueLinx Holdings, the SEC concluded that a company could not force an employee to choose between identifying themselves as a whistleblower and risking their severance pay and benefits.
Twice in the past two weeks, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) issued a cease-and-desist order settling proceedings against companies for using confidentiality and waiver of claims provisions in employee separation.
The SEC announced that it would be looking to bring enforcement actions with respect to severance agreements, confidentiality agreements, and employment agreements that violate Rule 21F-17.
In addition, the SEC has signaled it will oppose attempts by employers to limit an employee’s right to receive whistleblower incentive awards.

The Lament of a Light Sleeper !
I am sleep deprived and bleary eyed as I write this. My brain as soggy as soaked bread. I would do anything, anything for a few hours of uninterrupted sleep.
Eight hours of restful sleep, we are repeatedly told, is optimal for health. Well I honestly don’t remember when I last got those 8 hrs. I am perpetually moving round like a zombie, in a state of a permanent Jet Lag.
You see, I am what is called a “Light Sleeper”. This means that even a pin falling in a room miles away will wake me up. That for me the sound of water being poured in a glass four rooms away will be like the roar of the Niagara and will jolt me out of sweet slumber. That for me the tick tock of a clock or the gentle whirring of a fan are unbearable noises.
I so envy people who fall asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow. I need to set-up a proper environment to fall asleep . First, I will push and pummel my pillow into a comfortable shape and then toss and turn till I find the perfect position to lie in. Then I need silence. ‘Silence’ you see is the most important thing here. And silence is something I never get. It seems my whole neighborhood has an uncanny way of knowing when I am about to sleep.
As soon as I hit my head on the pillow, they swing into action with the precision of an army band – a badly tuned army band. The people living upstairs will chose that precise time to move about their furniture and close their doors with a bang. There will a pressure cooker whistling merrily somewhere a few houses away. Not to be outdone, Chopra Uncle from next door will chose that opportune time to hawk and spit and generally gargle away to glory in his bathroom. Every sound of his ablutions crystal clear to me.
Even if I do manage to fall asleep in this cacophony of sounds, most of the nights I am jostled rudely out of my slumber by late-nighters who will bang their car doors loudly, climb the stairs noisily or generally hold loud conversations right under my window about how difficult it is to find parking at night.
And of course once you are up, you can’t go back to sleep. You will count innumerable sheep in all the languages you know, you will pick up the most boring book on your book shelf hoping it will lull you gently back into la la land; but no, sleep will continue to elude you.
Light sleepers like me meet their own private hell when they are travelling.
Invariably, always without fail on long flights I will end up next to a fellow who snores. I will sit there after the lights have been dimmed, wide awake in my cramped airline seat, while next to me the guy will continue his near perfect impersonation of a chainsaw.
I have lost count of the number of hours I have spent in flights and trains trying to amuse myself with the different kinds of snores that I can hear. There is of course the chainsaw impersonation, then there is the continuous gurgling noise deep in the throat that will suddenly morph into something like a huge nasal snort before subsiding down to gurgles again. Then there are some people who lie there with their mouths half open - like fish gasping for water- who will make a continuous gentle soothing sound, which will almost lull you to sleep and suddenly without warning it will morph into an ugly sound like a generator starting. These are the ones that give you a nervous breakdown.
Sometimes it's people whom you least expect to snore that surprise you the most. There was a very delicate, very small Japanese lady next to me on a flight once. She didn’t seem capable of producing even a peep, leave alone snores. But once she fell asleep and started snoring it was like hearing Mt. Fuji rumble just before it erupts into an volcano.
And there really should be a special place in hell reserved for people who will snooze their alarms every 10 minutes but will not get up.
I have shaken out of deep slumber innumerable times in hotels by alarms that are not my own. I sit there, wide wake, my heart thudding violently as the alarm goes on and on. Once the alarm is switched off I try to get back to sleep just to be woken up again by the same alarm every ten minutes. Eventually the damn alarm will rouse the whole hotel and half the city but not the man who snoozes it is supposed to wake.
The one thing, I would kill for, gladly sell my soul for is a sound proof room. And till I get that, I continue to stumble through life in a state of permanent sleep deprivation!
Loved reading you, Ruch...................totally LOVED!!!!
I envy people who can sleep just about anywhere !
Thank you SId ! Sound Proof rooms is what I need ! And I can so empathize with your mom !
I'm a light sleeper, too, though I can sleep through doorbells and miss the househelp occasionally.
(Probably through sheer exhaustion caused by light sleeping). Let us mutually sympathise!
I wish I slept through door bells. The neighbor's door bell wakes me up ! Thanks for reading Dipali.
Oh ho, poor you! I am a light sleeper too but nowhere near you. I completely understand your pain because I know what bad sleep does to me. It turns me into a witch and G will corroborate that :). I need my 8 hours or at least 7 hours daily or I can't function. Train and plane journeys leave me sleepy eyed too.
Ohh lack of sleep turns me into a nasty person !
I am a soundddd sleeper. But cannot sleep well on trains or aeroplanes.
I envy you that Janu !
I am a sound sleeper as well but I have one problem. In the early hours, I become the alarm clock for my alarm clock. I don't even wait for it to ring instead I am wide awake about 30 minutes before it is due to ring.
I agree with you about those souls who snooze their alarms every 10 minutes but will not get up. They are the blessed souls!
Probably a periodic massage therapy might help you Ruchira.
Oh! My hubby faces the same problem & if I have to get up while he is asleep i have to tip toe in the room! perhaps cotton ear plugs could help.
Try meditation or maybe some calm music prior to bed time. That will help lull your super active consciousness thus, making you go into slumber under any circumstances.
Ruch, not to rub it in or anything like that, but if anything I am almost the exact diametric opposite of you when it comes to sleeping. I can pretty much sleep anywhere and anytime irrespective of my surroundings. And trust me when I say this, I have always considered it a blessing, more so after reading posts like yours.
In a country like India where privacy is hard to come by and almost even frowned upon I really cannot imagine waiting for the kind of 'peace and quiet' that light sleepers like you need to actually fall asleep and have a good deep sleep.
Lovely narration though. I could easily visualize each and every one of those 'sleep disturbances' that you talk about in this post, and what's more it also helped me realize that I have pretty much slept through each and every one of those as well.
Come to Brisbane. You'll fall in love with its deathly silence.
Have your tried using silicone ear-plugs? They manage to block out all sounds, except of course the sound of your breathing.
I must be amongst the lucky ones.
I can just about sleep anywhere ,where there is a pillow.
Like Rachna, I am a light sleeper too, but nowhere as light as you. I am fast asleep as soon as my head touches a pillow.
Seriously though Ruch, you must think of using something to block out the noise. Purba's suggestion is good. Ruchira Khanna's seems even better. You do seemed keyed up constantly. It must be so tiring!
SUCH a pleasure reading you!
I sleep well but I am very sensitive to noise. Or any sound. The four year old above my apartment rides his bicycle after ten at night and bangs it against the wall. You can imagine my agony.
I usually do not have issues to noises but when it is time for me to wake up ( aka mornings) I will be tuned in to bells and whistles and such. But, night time is deaf time!
I am a light-sleeper too and I know what you mean. About the alarm snoozers ,I suppose more than half of world's population will be there in hell.
You made me laugh early morning. But really, it is a curse. Try silicone plugs, they might help.
I used to be a very deep sleeper but with age, my sleep pattern has completely changed and I wake up very easily! So, totally sympathize with your situation! Your description made me giggle though! Poor you having to listen to Chopra uncle!!
Sigh. I'm a terrible sleeper too. I totally empathize. Earlier I couldn't fall asleep soon enough, and had a hard time waking up. Now I wake up way too early and can't get back to sleep. I'm so sick of it all .... ! Insomnia is a terrible, terrible thing.
and chopra uncle needs to be told to keep it low, reminded me of a uncle while flying from uk to india , we reached india early morning and just before an uncle went to the loo and he made some lovely music in there .. it could be heard in all that noise ..
A is the one we talk about when we say 'sleep when head touches the pillow' - no matter that the metal forging factory across the road is on an over drive or that the pigeons on the vacant floor above having a jolly night. I became like him, and unlearnt the art soon as N came. I sleep as lightly as you do, but trying very hard to be able to go back to sleep in case N shifting in his cot wakes me up.
Oh my goodness, this was the funniest thing ever, even if it was at your expense! I smiled right through it! How I wish you'd have taken a photo of that Mt Fuji lady!
one thing I can't sleep in is snores... especially in Trains... sometimes it seems people are on a snore war! They are the most deadly of noises!
Omg, Ruchira, I got a nervous breakdown from just reading your post. I can imagine how sleep deprivation feels. I wake up when the L & M moves his hand. Sigh. On some days I want to sit up and cry because I can't get back to sleep.
Me too are getting the trouble in sleeping lately! How true?! My brother belongs to the crowd who will get a special place Ha ha ... he keeps alarms on snooze ... And yes, I have been beside Mt Fuji once during one of my camping trips. It was awful!
So, here I get to finish it finally..after 2 good years..lol.I can completely empathize with you, Ruch..totally totally...only difference for you and me is, I can fall asleep in moving objects..lol...like buses, trains, flights (partly). I want to write a post too..with lots of hugs for you to catch a night's peaceful sleep.

Tell people you’re going to see “Carousel,” the 1945 Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II musical about an explosive love affair in a quaint coastal Maine town, between brooding carousel barker Billy Bigelow and wholesome mill worker Julie Jordan, and their eyes dim a little. Maybe there’s a yawn in there, too. They remember it from their high school stage, on which metaphor and nuance are sometimes hard to grasp. They think it’s old-fashioned, lethargic, even tenuous.
But there’s something remarkably current about it, too. Julie Jordan, a girl’s girl who can fawn over a cute boy like the best of us, is also a bit of a feminist. She doesn’t put up with Billy’s hoodlum nonsense – which, to be fair, could easily be construed as aggressive or outright disrespectful – until she has to, until she can’t fight her crush-gone-love anymore. They are the ultimate bad boy-good girl duo.
There’s also Rodgers’ illustrious score, which boasts songbook standards “If I Loved You,” “June Is Bustin’ Out All Over” and one of the greatest power ballads of all time, “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” That song could turn a hardened criminal soft. It’s just glorious. Meanwhile, Hammerstein’s book, though slow, is full of quips and zingers. My eyebrow raised a few times, forgetfully naïve to its wit and progressive-for-its-time daring.
So how, then, does a show so comfortable to older audiences and eye-opening to younger ones fail to deliver on such fantastic material? A new production at MusicalFare, the first local staging of this show in two decades, has many of its ducks ready to go, but they are not lined up.
First the good: Director Randy Kramer’s cast is superb, and they sound glorious. Edith Grossman, our Julie, sounds as if she were born on a cloud. She’s an angel whose wings harden as her story progresses. Paschal Frisina III, her Billy, sings with a boot’s full of conviction, with conflicting vigor and sentimentality. Frisina does not exude the typical bad boy on paper, however bullish he can be. But he uses his softness kindly. Arin Lee Dandes, Dudney Joseph Jr., Steve Copps and Charmagne Chi are expectably fantastic in their supporting roles, as is Celine Keefe, whose stage presence is hard to forget.
Music director Theresa Quinn does a fine job interpreting Rodgers’ soaring orchestral score for three instruments, its skeletal remains simmering like a candle vigil or seaside shanty. It feels like a true chamber musical, which is the only employed aesthetic that serves this space properly.
Directorial decisions aside – muting Agnes de Mille’s exquisite choreography for this tight space (Jon Lehrer acts as movement consultant); removing Louise’s Ballet altogether – it’s the visual approach that distracts the most. Chris Schenk’s set design begins figuratively, hanging an elegant circle frame center stage and out across the apron, seemingly within the audience’s grasp. When lit, it hovers over us like a halo, putting us all in its glow. Stunning. The set design could have ended there, feeding us just a morsel of what we could have imagined on our own, like a faded postcard. But Schenk’s love of projections, confusingly sourced from contemporary images, takes us to literal places that we could easily surmise.
The same thing can be said of Kari Drozd’s costumes, which reciprocate for the absence of a literal carousel by adding embellishment upon embellishment to every leg, arm and torso. The approach makes enough sense, but its execution is so overt that, again, it distracts.
This is an unfortunate theme. There’s no reason, with these assets and this talent, why we couldn’t have been trusted to see and hear just what was necessary, and left to push through those open doors. Those creative risks let us find new light in old memories, truth in new revelations; that’s theater for all ages. On a stage that must do more with less, the answer, unfailingly, is less is more.

He wrote July 1, not July 31, when he signed up for the city’s drop program, which essentially allows a city employee to “retire on the job” for up to three years. The employee sets a date-certain retirement, then goes back to work. When that date comes, the employee gets a nice check for the retirement money they have received from the time they entered the drop program. Then they ride into the sunset.
Charles Tate’s ride starts today.
“It was my mistake,” Tate said of the paperwork error.
We should all screw up like that.
Here’s one way to look at it: “I am going on a long Fourth of July weekend,” Tate said.
And he has earned it.
Since 1995, he has managed a department that has undergone drastic and constant change.
And he managed a department where his wife of 29 years, Cheryl, was his second in command. He walked the finest of conflict-of-interest lines. And the Tates did it well.
Charles and Cheryl were co-workers when they married. When he promoted her because of the untimely death of the person in that position, he did so at the suggestion and with the full support of then City Manager Carmen Cavezza. Now that her husband is gone, Cheryl has the most seniority in the department.
“Carmen told me to put her in there and if anybody said anything, he would take the heat,” Charles said.
That the Tates have walked the line without scandal is a credit to them.
And he has managed a department that has grown in responsibility, but lost employees along the way. There were more than 30 employees in IT in the 1970s — many of them in data entry jobs. Today, there are 23 in a department in control of a complex computer information system.Tate was old school in a new-school business that has changed as rapidly as some folks change socks.
He has an associate degree from Chattahoochee Valley Community College — no four-year degree. He has a doctorate in OTJT — on the job training.
IT back in the early 1970s was a working person’s job.
“Back then it was a vocation,” Tate said. “And that is how I got into it. It is a totally different world today. I guess now it is more of a profession.”And despite his lack of a formal education, Charles Tate has been the consummate professional. One of the duties of the city’s IT department is to collect and store the city’s information.
You know, everything emails to payroll to reports.
And all of that is public information, almost all of it available to us — the public. Many requests for public information made through the city attorney and various department heads end up falling in Tate’s lap because he is the custodian of the records.
Some public officials are stingy with those records and look for ways to block access. They treat the records like personal property, not public business.
If the law says you can have it, Tate was always the first to cough it up.
“Those records belong to the tax payers; they belong to the government; they don’t belong to me,” Tate said Monday on his last day of work.
He should have sent that statement in an email to every city employee as his last official act. It is simple, true and the backbone of our government.
Charles Tate, like few I have encountered, understands that.
Today marks the start of a new journey for a guy who is a young 61 years old.
That’s a lot of years of problem solving on the fly.
Thanks for your service to this city and its taxpayers — your bosses. Here’s hoping you have a great Fourth of July weekend — one that lasts for many, many years.

NCETA has revealed that alcohol and drug-related absenteeism has increased sharply, and most greatly affects businesses such as hospitality.
The National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction (NCETA), released its Alcohol and Drug-Related Absenteeism paper last week, based on data from over 12,000 people surveyed in the National Drug Strategy Household Survey (NDSHS) (2013, 2014, 2015).
It found that the cost to small businesses of absenteeism has increased from $1.2bn in 2001, to more than $3bn. The figures are based on the direct cost of sick leave, and do not take into account lost productivity.
A cost of $267 for a ‘sick day’ is multiplied by a combination of self-reported absenteeism, and an estimate of the mean difference in absence from work between those who used alcohol or drugs compared to abstainers.
Participants admitted to missing 1.69 million days due to alcohol, and 850,000 days due to drug use. Incidence is higher in industries with irregular hours and high pressure, such as hospitality.
Lead author of the report, NCETA director Professor Ann Roche, had suggestions for small businesses to help combat the cost and problem of alcohol and other drugs (AOD).
“I would recommend that organisations develop and implement a formal AOD policy, provide education and training regarding AOD use, and provide access to counselling and treatment.
Roche says that people are often not aware that alcohol can have delayed consequences for their health, and subsequent missing of work.

Bolton School hosted its second festival of girls’ football today, in association with the Independent Schools Football Association.
The competition was for Year 7 and Year 8 pupils. Eight teams from the Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL), Canon Slade, Turton, Rivington & Blackrod, Thornleigh and Bolton School took part in the tournament, which ran as two groups. The Bolton School girls showed a lot of energy during every game but unfortunately on this occasion the competition was too strong.
Canon Slade won the Group A competition, and Turton emerged the Group B victors. It was a closely contested final, with Turton eventually beating Canon Slade 1-0. Turton were therefore crowned the overall victors for 2014 and were presented with the Centennial Football Cup.
The sun was shining throughout and the girls were able to enjoy a full afternoon of football, playing both competitive and friendly games as part of the festival. All of the teams played with enthusiasm and represented their schools with pride.

No way I'd have someone who has no background in Physics ever write a paper for me.
If you don't like your paper you should rewrite it yourself. After all, you know what parts of it you're not happy with, not some anonymous proofreader.

Directory of 9 New Jersey Pheasant hunting lodges, guides and outfitters in New Jersey.
Bent Creek is an upland pheasant hunting preserve located in Allentown, NJ, about 5 miles west of Six Flags Great Adventure. Bent Creek is now into its 14th season. We have just under 500 acres of private land managed strictly for bird hunting consisting of sorghum, sudan, wild grasses and small wood lots. Each party will have its own exclusive hunting area. You may hunt over your own dog or hire one of our guides with his own dog.
Situated amidst the scenic, rolling hill country of Warren County in northwestern New Jersey, the 155 acre Buttonwood Game Preserve features a combination of diverse habitat which provides exceptional cover for pheasant, chukar, and quail. We have designed Buttonwood so that every hunt is a challenging one. There are no guaranteed kills here. The sportsman and his hunting dog earn each and every bird brought to bag.
Just imagine...Your own private hunting ground, managed exclusively for wildlife. Teeming with the likes of ringneck pheasant, bobwhite quail, and chukar...An eager bird dog and a friendly staff awaiting your arrival. Our extensive acreage is divided into a number of individual farms which are managed for wildlife and for hunting. The farms are all within a 3 mile radius of the clubhouse on the home farm. Our hunters enjoy this setting because it lends itself to privacy and seclusion. Feed and cover plots of corn, sorghum, sudangrass, etc. are seeded each spring in addition to the perennial grasses and plants to provide optimum feed and holding cover for released birds and native game.
Indian Creek Commercial Shooting Preserve, LLC is conveniently located in Sussex County New Jersey. The farm is comprised of approximately 300 acres of planted fields, rolling hillsides, second growth timber, wetlands and hardwoods. This sets the scene for an exciting and challenging hunt and makes the perfect habitat for pheasant, woodcock, and chukar partridge. Our commercial season runs from September 1st to May 1st.
Acres of fields resting fallow or ripe with crops lure pheasants, chukar and ducks... elusive birds that make for great gunning and excellent sport. Upland game birds are replenished frequently through out out the season, and special secondary releases often occur immediately prior to the arrival of hunting parties.
Hunt upland birds (including pheasants, quail, and chukars) in privacy and safety six days a week from October through March! Experience the tradition of hunting as it should be — classic cover, classic gamebirds, and classic dog work! Meadowview’s bobwhite quail program produces the closest thing to wild birds possible! Real covey flushes and scattered singles provide authentic quail hunting to the demanding hunter. Wild ringneck pheasants nestled in natural bottomland cover and cornfields re-create the exciting pheasant hunts of yesteryear! Chukars hidden in woodland underbrush and flushing through the trees create a true challenge for shooters of all levels!
The Hunting Program: Although Wild Wings Hunt Club is a private, membership club, it maintains a commercial hunting preserve license. This allows our members to release birds and train dogs from September through mid April. The Club stocks from November through February on Saturdays AND Sundays as well as many holidays Wild Wings releases more than 5000 birds each season - Pheasant, Quail and Chukar. There is no daily or season limit on the number of birds a member may harvest – nor a per bird fee!

(COLUMBIA, SC) – Palmetto Place Children’s Shelter celebrated 100 days of construction with board members, donors, volunteers and staff on June 2nd, 2016.
Palmetto Place is a home for abused and neglected children and homeless teens from across the state of South Carolina. They provide a safe and nurturing environment where children have access to after-school programs, tutoring, recreational and social activities. They offer a broad range of services that concentrate on personal healing and development including medical attention, mental health care, crisis adjustment and transitional counseling.
Since the shelter opened in 1977 more than 7,000 children and teens have called it home. These deep roots are one of the reasons they have decided to expand the original shelter. “The need in our community for a safe and loving home for these children and teens is growing,” says Erin Hall, Executive Director. “We have been turning away between 15-25 children each month for too long now, simply because there is not enough space.” The expansion will add 10 beds to the original shelter, bringing the total up to 30 and allowing them to serve more than 100 children each year.
Construction should be done in August, just in time to move back in and get settled before school starts. The shelter is looking for volunteers to help make the newly renovated shelter feel like home. To find out how you can help, visit www.palmettoplaceshelter.org/wishlist/ or call 803-748-2357.
