I wanted to get some opinions on my essay. thanks!
Prejudice, What Keeps Us At Bay
Whether it is small or vast, good or bad, prejudice still affects the way we prejudge a person. Many people think that the first impression says everything about somebody. However, first impressions can be deceiving. Have you ever met someone that you thought was off, or seemed a little bit snooty? Did you try to get to know that person? Why or why not? This is when prejudging can make us have a negative attitude toward a person that we don’t even know! We may not realize it, but prejudice exists around us in various forms. However, we can fight a negative mental attitude with knowledge, personal experience, and acceptance of outside ideas, people, and ethnic backgrounds.
Getting to know someone is cognition. By simply talking and asking questions, you can find out so much about a person’s personality, and interests. You can find out things that you have in common. For instance, a musical talent such as the drums or piano. It’s amazing how these little things can make you connect with somebody. Another practice of cognition is making your own opinions and not ones based on second-source data. Rumors are a good example. A friend tells you that this girl named Taylor is a mean, alcoholic girl who just complains all the time. You believe that this is what this girl is, when you really have no idea what her character is like. However, if you make your own opinions, then you’re giving Taylor a chance to show you that the rumors are not true. Getting your facts straight is the only way to get to know a true person.
Has there every been a time when you felt embarrassed to hang with someone because of the way they acted? Think about how that person feels, and put yourself in their situation. Picture yourself in the shoes of an intelligent, pretty girl that no one wants to hang out with because they’re smart. Would you want to be judged on by something you do that isn’t bad? Nobody enjoys being judged by something they did not know or did by accident. In addition, being able to relate to certain things can make you understand how a person feels. Everyone know’s what it is like to be talked about behind their back. Aren’t you mad when your closest friend goes blabbing about your personal issues? Letting people know what they are doing wrong can make a big difference on how they can act. Nobody is perfect. In conclusion, from personal experience, you can relate to someone’s situation.
People of different social classes, races, and religion are constantly being judged about the things they believe in or look like. We have all heard the saying “you can’t judge a book by its cover.” However, we do it anyway. This also applies to different races. There are many Arab students at my school. However, many of them seem uninterested in their education. This image make my fellow classmates thing that all Arabs are like this. The war in Iraq convinces us even more. We believe they are hostile, when they didn’t do anything to harm us. My one Arab friend Crystal is the exact opposite. She is an A+ student and is very compassionate and sincere. Same thing goes for the cliques of blacks and whites. I rarely see a mix of white and black students together in a large group. I notice that they tend to stick together. How are we suppose to get to know others if we don’t mingle outside our social classes? In order to combat negative feelings towards certain ethnic backgrounds and religions, we need to realize that we are all the same underneath.
We all have our differences, and that is what makes us human. We have to realize that nobody is perfect, and that we need to connect with others in order to grow. Prejudice stands in the way of us reaching out to our fullest potential. It keeps us at bay because we don’t gather our facts and try to relate with others. I guess, what we need to do is look past the cover of a book and read its pages. By doing that, we can achieve an even more perfect community.
What do you think.....Just read no editing or anything, but suggestions are welcome?
I think that it is a very powerful essay.
The only thing I'd suggest would be to give a definition for the word cognition because if people don't understand one word the entire message and the power your essay holds could be lost on them.

Training for a Marathon?
I would very much like to run a 10 mile marathon in May. Currently I run 3-4 miles on a treadmill and elliptical 2-4 times per week. I also do 2-4 days of weight training weekly and take a dance class once a week. I would like to step up my training so that I am ready for the race, but I have some things working against me (bad knees, a weak ankle, a 6 month old calf injury that still carries some weakness and bruising and three moderate respitory infections in the last 2-3 months). Does anyone who has trained for a marathon before have any pointers on how I can progressively step up my training to be ready for the run without hurting myself? Also, I have been told that I should buy larger shoes ( I usually wear a 5 1/2 and it has been suggested I buy a 7) so that when my feet swell from running my shoes don't get too small.... this seems like it is bad information.... is it?

First, 10 miles is not a marathon, it may seem like it but a marathon is actually 26.2 miles. But, 10 miles is a significant race and should not be downplayed what so ever. Starting on the treadmill is fine, in order to prepare for you 10 milers, I suggest you are going to need about 16 – 18 weeks.
If your injuries are nagging you may not want to run. Typical theory is if you don’t notice an increase in pain while running you are more then likely going to be fine. But I would go easy and look to just finish those 10 miles as opposed to be looking for a fast time. I would suggest looking at a novice ½ marathon plan from www.halhigdon.com or www.runnersworld.com these will offer a nice program that will gradually build you up to ½ marathon.
Because you are not running a ½ you could modify some of the longer runs so they are not as long. Or if you prefer keep the program and be ready for a ½ marathon in the summer.
As for shoes, you were not giving incorrect info you need to buy shoes at least one full size bigger then you normally where. General rule of thumb is that your big toe on your largest foot should be at least a thumbnails distance from the end of the shoe. This will help compensate for that foot expansion.
Just remember there are plenty of road races all across North America, so if your injuries persist I suggest toning down your workouts get health and run. You will have to get outside and off the treadmill at least 3 x per week I suggest. The long run is the most important run of the week followed by the interval/hill/tempo runs. You can cross train on the elliptical on the rest days and do maybe 2 steady runs a week on the treadmill.
Good luck

Reply:My fiance says if you want to run a marathon you have to run at least 4 times a week 4 about 10 km per day and for the month before the Marathon u have to run 5 times i week for 21 km that is a half marathon u have to do this only for 2 weeks of the month before the race and 2 weeks the race u can start slowing down and go back to 10 km a day stop training 2 days before the race and remember the carboloading its very important go and get the new nike air zoom vameros 2+ its the best running shoe out there go and check the shoes out at nike+.com they are working with the i pod nano enjoy the race its a grate feeling 2 finish your first marathon it gets addictive
Reply:Frankly, you need to deal with those injuries first. I love running, but faced with your injuries, I would concentrate on getting your legs stronger and getting some physical therapy for your injuries.
After that, the best tip I can give you is to build up gradually. Add no more than 5% in any given week, and 10% in a month. You are also going to need some time out on the roads and hard surfaces to see how your body reacts. A treadmill and eliptical doesn't prepare your body for the pounding it takes running on the road.
It would also be a really good idea to go to a running specific shoe store and get fitted with shoes, and even do a gait analysis to see if you have any biomechanical problems that contribute to your injuries.

What do Dudley Ranall pem "Ballad of Birmingham" mean?
Mother dear, may I go downtown Instead of out to play, And march the streets of Birmingham In a freedom March today?"
"No baby, no you may not go, for the dogs are fierce and wild, And clubs and hoses, guns and jail Aren't good for a little child".
"But mother, I won't be alone. Other children will go with me, And march the streets of Birmingham To make our country free".
"No baby, no you may not go, For I fear those guns will fire. But you may go to church instead And sing in the children's choir.
She has combed and brushed her night-dark hair, and bathed rose petal sweet, And drawn white gloves on her small brown Hands, And white shoes on her feet.
the mother smiled to know her child Was in a sacred place, But that smile was the last smile To come upon her face.
For when she heard the explosion, Her eyes grew wet and wild. She raced through the street of Birmingham Calling for her child.
She clawed through bits of glass and brick, Then lifted out a shoe.
What do Dudley Ranall pem "Ballad of Birmingham" mean?
its about one of the 4 little black girls who went to the church that was bombed and she died
its sayin she never came home, and the mom found her shoe in the rubble of the bombed church.
and its also talkin bout all the segreation in birmingham

How is it?
I am only 13 yrs old and this is the first chapter of my book.
It’s a beautiful morning. The sun was peeking from the horizon. The spring air was fresh, and the grass was damp from the morning dew. The earth slowly awakened from the peaceful night before. Jake Clemons was always up in time to watch the sunrise. He’s up before the rooster crows.
He got dressed quickly to watch the sunrise. He had to be quiet as he put on his red shirt ad blue jeans. He tiptoed down the hallway, and he passed Jamie’s room. Jamie was his 7 year old sister.
After he passed everyone’s rooms, he hurried down the stairs and out the door. He jogged towards the big red barn. He felt the dampness of the grass seep into his shoes. He then ran through the dry hay and to the silver ladder leading up to the loft. Jake climbed up the ladder and then he crawled towards the loft window and opened it. He sprawled out on the hay and gazed at the sunrise.
Watching the sunrise was a good time for Jake to think, and get his thoughts together. It was his only moment of peace during the day. He couldn’t possibly think in the day with all the commotion from his little sister, and all the work that had to be done, there was just no time.
“Cock-o-doodle-doo!” the rooster cried. It was time to get back to the house and cook breakfast. Jake usually made breakfast because everyone was just waking up at the sound of the rooster.
This morning he cooked scrambled eggs, toast, and he heated up some leftover sausage from the morning before. Everyone got seated at the table. It was delightful meal and got the day started off.
His parents usually watched the news right after breakfast, and then they get ready for work. Apparently they left it on, because Jaime was watching it when they got done watching it. He flipped the switch to turn the TV off.
“Hey!” Jaime whined.
“Jaime, you shouldn’t be watchin’ this stuff. It gives you nightmares.” Jake had already gone through experience. A few weeks ago they were watching the news and it was talking about some guy who escaped from the county jail near Chester. Jaime couldn’t go to sleep that night because she thought he would come and get her while she was sleeping.
“Fine,” she scoffed.
As soon as she left the room, he turned it back on.
“There is currently a prison escapee on the loose. He stole the security guard’s keys and escaped. He goes by the name of Greg Richards.”
It showed a picture of the escapee. He had a brown buzz cut, a goatee, and his ear pierced. He had a tan, and he looked to be in about his late 20’s. The news anchor continued with the story, “He was last seen driving a black Dodge Ram. If you have any information about this man, please call the police.”
“Jake, turn that off. You’ll probably have nightmares just like Jaime.” His mother was always comparing him to Jaime like that.
“Yes ma’am.” Jake turned off the TV.
His parents left for work about eight and they usually got home about 5:00. His mom worked at the grocery store as the manager and his dad worked at the local bank.
There was nothing to do at the house, so Jaime asked Jake if he could play a game with her. He didn’t mind, but she wanted to play some of the stupidest games.
“Okay Jaime, what do ya wanna play?” Jake asked reluctantly.
“Let’s play hide and go seek!” Jaime shouted. Jake never argued against having to play hide and go seek. It was one of his favorite games. He usually let Jaime hide otherwise she would whine and cry.
They ended up playing hide and seek for hours. His parents finally arrived home, so now he could go do something instead of playing with Jaime all day.
Jake figured he’d ride is bike. It was in terrible condition with worn out tires, red and rusted paint job, and the seat torn up. But he didn’t care. It was his only option to get away from the world. It made him feel free. He rode it everywhere around town. Of course the town was small enough to see everything in less than an hour on a bicycle.
The town was called Chester. It’s a population of about 1200 people. Chester has a bunch of old buildings from a long time ago. But most of those are abandoned. People just had a hard time keeping business in Chester. A whole bunch of people moved, which caused a lot of businesses to move, also.
His brown hair was waving in the wind. As he was riding his bike, he heard some bells from a distance. Not like the bells you hear at Christmas time, but big bells. They made such a noise that the whole town could hear them. Maybe even the whole county.
He decided to check and see where the bells were coming from. He followed the sound of the bells. It took about 2 minutes to get to where they were. They were coming from some large brick building with a white steeple. At the top of the steeple, there was a small cross. What kind of building has bells, and a steeple with a cross? He wondered. He decided to take a look inside.
He walked down the aisle of red carpet. There were people sitting in long stretched pews. Everyone was dressed nice and elegant. He felt like an outcast with the raggedy clothes he had on.
“Excuse me, young man. Why are you wearing such clothes?” an older woman asked him. He tried to speak but words wouldn’t budge. He was embarrassed.
“Young man?” she said.
He ran to the back of room. As he tried to get out the door, a man spoke. Jake turned around and saw a man in the front of the room. The man was tall, and he looked to be in his 30’s. He was wearing a white robe with a green stripe down the middle.
“Thank you everyone for being here tonight,” he said speaking through a microphone.
“I am the new preacher. My name is Dan Miller. I have recently moved here from Alabama, with my daughter, Carley, and my wife, Joyce,” he stated gesturing to his family in the front row.
Carley had shoulder length brown hair. She had the most amazing blue eyes Jake had ever seen. She looked nothing like her mom, Joyce.
Jake figured he would stay and listen what Dan had to say. He didn’t have to be home until 8 and it was only 6:45. He went and got seated in the last pew. He paid attention to this preacher as he spoke.
“God has a great amount of power. He is so big. He can do anything!” Dan exclaimed raising his hands in the air.
“Anything?” Jake whispered to himself.
Dan preached for the next hour about this God person. He said God was the man who created this very earth, and created us to live in it. Jake couldn’t wait to tell his parents about God.
Jake glanced at his watch. It read at exactly 7:56. Jake was supposed to be home at 8:00 sharp. He jumped on his bike and sped away. His house was about 1 mile out of Chester, so it took him about 10 minutes to get home, but at the speed he was going, Jake could’ve swore he got there in less than 5 minutes. He jumped off the bike and ran to the house. He got to the door, swung it open and ran inside. He tried to be sneaky. He didn’t want his parents to know he had come in late. He completely forgot about the door making a ruckus every time it closed. He raced to door to try to stop it from making the noise.
“Jake is that you?” his father had asked from the living room. Jake was so exhausted from the ride home, he could barely speak.
“Yes, dad,” he said panting.
“Where in the hell have you been, Jake? You were supposed to be home 5 minutes ago.” His father was really strict about being home on time. He wanted to say he was just outside for a bit, but he couldn’t stand lying to his father.
“I was at a church,” Jake said looking down at his shoes.
“A church? Why were you at this church?” his father asked him with and eyebrow raised.
“Well, I was listening to this guy talk about God,” Jake explained innocently.
“My gosh Jake! There is no God. People just say that so they can have something to believe in. Now go upstairs and finish your homework.”
Jake ran to his room and went to his bed. He lay there, thinking. His dad was usually right about stuff. Maybe there was no God. Maybe Dan was full of himself and didn’t know what he was talking about. He listened to a complete stranger and believed it. His dad was right, there was no God.
“Jake! Dinner is ready!” his mom called from downstairs.
He headed downstairs at the pace of a gazelle. He was so caught up in all this God stuff he almost forgot about his stomach. He sat down and as soon as he was about to attack the food, his mom smacked his hand.
“Not until everyone is seated,” she said as she was putting the food on the table. He looked around and everyone was seated, except his sister. He almost forgot about Jaime, who was still upstairs in her room.
“Jake, go upstairs and get your sister,” his mom ordered from across the table.
Jake rushed upstairs and headed towards Jamie’s room.
Her room was all pink. She had a pink bedspread, pink lamp, and a pink chair. Her room was also a mess. Toys were everywhere. There was so much clutter, that you couldn’t even see the floor.
Jake hopped everywhere around the room trying not to step on anything. He finally reached Jaime, who was playing with her dolls.
“Hey, sis. It’s time for supper,” he said tapping her on the shoulder.
“Okay,” she replied.
They both headed downstairs and got seated at the dinner table. Jake and Jaime sat across from each other, and his mom and dad sat at the ends of the table like the queen and king in old medieval times.
Today’s dinner was his mom’s specialty, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes and gravy, and grilled pork chops. His mom sure did make a mean batch of mashed potatoes.
Jake could finally start eating since everyone was seated.
“So are you two ready for the first day of school tomorrow?” his mother asked.
“Yes ma’am!” Jaime called out.
Jake just sat there, not knowing what to say.
“Jake? What about you? Are you ready for school tomorrow?” his mother asked eyeing him from across the table.
“Uh. Yes ma’am,” he lied when the truth was he wasn’t ready for the first day of school.
Last year, his best friend, Chase, moved away because his mom and dad got better jobs. It was a difficult time because he tried to make new friends but everyone ignored him. He hoped he would have better luck this year.
A fantastic dinner was made complete by a dessert of homemade ice cream. Jake was so stuffed afterwards.
He cleaned up the dinner table and washed the dishes. Afterwards he went upstairs to his room.
His room wasn’t all decorated like Jaime’s room. It was more conservative. He just had off-white walls with the occasional artwork that Jaime had drawn for him on them. Jaime was quite the artist.
He grabbed his notebook and an ink pen from his desk, then he got on his bed and began writing. Writing was Jake’s passion. He could write about absolutely anything. He always carried his notebook and his pen in case anything that came to mind, he could write down. He glanced at his watch. It read 9:27. Jake figured he’d get to bed at a decent hour. He put his notebook and pen under the mattress. Then he turned off the lights and went to bed.

It’s a beautiful morning. The sun was peeking from the horizon. The spring air was fresh, and the grass was damp from the morning dew. The earth slowly awakened from the peaceful night before. Jake Clemons was always up in time to watch the sunrise. He’s up before the rooster crows.
He got dressed quickly to watch the sunrise. He had to be quiet as he put on his red shirt ad blue jeans. He tiptoed down the hallway, and he passed Jamie’s room. Jamie was his 7 year old sister.
After he passed everyone’s rooms, he hurried down the stairs and out the door. He jogged towards the big red barn. He felt the dampness of the grass seep into his shoes. He then ran through the dry hay and to the silver ladder leading up to the loft. Jake climbed up the ladder and then he crawled towards the loft window and opened it. He sprawled out on the hay and gazed at the sunrise.
Watching the sunrise was a good time for Jake to think, and get his thoughts together. It was his only moment of peace during the day. He couldn’t possibly think in the day with all the commotion from his little sister, and all the work that had to be done, there was just no time.
“Cock-o-doodle-doo!” the rooster cried. It was time to get back to the house and cook breakfast. Jake usually made breakfast because everyone was just waking up at the sound of the rooster.
This morning he cooked scrambled eggs, toast, and he heated up some leftover sausage from the morning before. Everyone got seated at the table. It was delightful meal and got the day started off.
His parents usually watched the news right after breakfast, and then they get ready for work. Apparently they left it on, because Jaime was watching it when they got done watching it. He flipped the switch to turn the TV off.
“Hey!” Jaime whined.
“Jaime, you shouldn’t be watchin’ this stuff. It gives you nightmares.” Jake had already gone through experience. A few weeks ago they were watching the news and it was talking about some guy who escaped from the county jail near Chester. Jaime couldn’t go to sleep that night because she thought he would come and get her while she was sleeping.
“Fine,” she scoffed.
As soon as she left the room, he turned it back on.
“There is currently a prison escapee on the loose. He stole the security guard’s keys and escaped. He goes by the name of Greg Richards.”
It showed a picture of the escapee. He had a brown buzz cut, a goatee, and his ear pierced. He had a tan, and he looked to be in about his late 20’s. The news anchor continued with the story, “He was last seen driving a black Dodge Ram. If you have any information about this man, please call the police.”
“Jake, turn that off. You’ll probably have nightmares just like Jaime.” His mother was always comparing him to Jaime like that.
“Yes ma’am.” Jake turned off the TV.
His parents left for work about eight and they usually got home about 5:00. His mom worked at the grocery store as the manager and his dad worked at the local bank.
There was nothing to do at the house, so Jaime asked Jake if he could play a game with her. He didn’t mind, but she wanted to play some of the stupidest games.
“Okay Jaime, what do ya wanna play?” Jake asked reluctantly.
“Let’s play hide and go seek!” Jaime shouted. Jake never argued against having to play hide and go seek. It was one of his favorite games. He usually let Jaime hide otherwise she would whine and cry.
They ended up playing hide and seek for hours. His parents finally arrived home, so now he could go do something instead of playing with Jaime all day.
Jake figured he’d ride is bike. It was in terrible condition with worn out tires, red and rusted paint job, and the seat torn up. But he didn’t care. It was his only option to get away from the world. It made him feel free. He rode it everywhere around town. Of course the town was small enough to see everything in less than an hour on a bicycle.
The town was called Chester. It’s a population of about 1200 people. Chester has a bunch of old buildings from a long time ago. But most of those are abandoned. People just had a hard time keeping business in Chester. A whole bunch of people moved, which caused a lot of businesses to move, also.
His brown hair was waving in the wind. As he was riding his bike, he heard some bells from a distance. Not like the bells you hear at Christmas time, but big bells. They made such a noise that the whole town could hear them. Maybe even the whole county.
He decided to check and see where the bells were coming from. He followed the sound of the bells. It took about 2 minutes to get to where they were. They were coming from some large brick building with a white steeple. At the top of the steeple, there was a small cross. What kind of building has bells, and a steeple with a cross? He wondered. He decided to take a look inside.
He walked down the aisle of red carpet. There were people sitting in long stretched pews. Everyone was dressed nice and elegant. He felt like an outcast with the raggedy clothes he had on.
“Excuse me, young man. Why are you wearing such clothes?” an older woman asked him. He tried to speak but words wouldn’t budge. He was embarrassed.

am only 13 yrs old and this is the first chapter of my book.

this day in history

There was nothing to do at the house, so Jaime asked Jake if he could play a game with her. He didn’t mind, but she wanted to play some of the stupidest games.
“Okay Jaime, what do ya wanna play?” Jake asked reluctantly.
“Let’s play hide and go seek!” Jaime shouted. Jake never argued against having to play hide and go seek. It was one of his favorite games. He usually let Jaime hide otherwise she would whine and cry.
They ended up playing hide and seek for hours. His parents finally arrived home, so now he could go do something instead of playing with Jaime all day.
Jake figured he’d ride is bike. It was in terrible condition with worn out tires, red and rusted paint job, and the seat torn up. But he didn’t care. It was his only option to get away from the world. It made him feel free. He rode it everywhere around town. Of course the town was small enough to see everything in less than an hour on a bicycle.
The town was called Chester. It’s a population of about 1200 people. Chester has a bunch of old buildings from a long time ago. But most of those are abandoned. People just had a hard time keeping business in Chester. A whole bunch of people moved, which caused a lot of businesses to move, also.
His brown hair was waving in the wind. As he was riding his bike, he heard some bells from a distance. Not like the bells you hear at Christmas time, but big bells. They made such a noise that the whole town could hear them. Maybe even the whole county.
He decided to check and see where the bells were coming from. He followed the sound of the bells. It took about 2 minutes to get to where they were. They were coming from some large brick building with a white steeple. At the top of the steeple, there was a small cross. What kind of building has bells, and a steeple with a cross? He wondered. He decided to take a look inside.
He walked down the aisle of red carpet. There were people sitting in long stretched pews. Everyone was dressed nice and elegant. He felt like an outcast with the raggedy clothes he had on.
“Excuse me, young man. Why are you wearing such clothes?” an older woman asked him. He tried to speak but words wouldn’t budge. He was embarrassed.
“Young man?” she said.
He ran to the back of room. As he tried to get out the door, a man spoke. Jake turned around and saw a man in the front of the room. The man was tall, and he looked to be in his 30’s. He was wearing a white robe with a green stripe down the middle.
“Thank you everyone for being here tonight,” he said speaking through a microphone.
“I am the new preacher. My name is Dan Miller. I have recently moved here from Alabama, with my daughter, Carley, and my wife, Joyce,” he stated gesturing to his family in the front row.
Carley had shoulder length brown hair. She had the most amazing blue eyes Jake had ever seen.She looked nothing like her mom, Joyce.
Jake figured he would stay and listen what Dan had to say. He didn’t have to be home until 8 and it was only 6:45. He went and got seated in the last pew. He paid attention to this preacher as he spoke.
“God has a great amount of power. He is so big. He can do anything!” Dan exclaimed raising his hands in the air.
“Anything?” Jake whispered to himself.
Dan preached for the next hour about this God person. He said God was the man who created this very earth, and created us to live in it. Jake couldn’t wait to tell his parents about God.
Jake glanced at his watch. It read at exactly 7:56. Jake was supposed to be home at 8:00 sharp. He jumped on his bike and sped away. His house was about 1 mile out of Chester, so it took him about 10 minutes to get home, but at the speed he was going, Jake could’ve swore he got there in less than 5 minutes. He jumped off the bike and ran to the house. He got to the door, swung it open and ran inside. He tried to be sneaky. He didn’t want his parents to know he had come in late. He completely forgot about the door making a ruckus every time it closed. He raced to door to try to stop it from making the noise.
“Jake is that you?” his father had asked from the living room. Jake was so exhausted from the ride home, he could barely speak.
“Yes, dad,” he said panting.
“Where in the hell have you been, Jake? You were supposed to be home 5 minutes ago.” His father was really strict about being home on time. He wanted to say he was just outside for a bit, but he couldn’t stand lying to his father.
“I was at a church,” Jake said looking down at his shoes.
“A church? Why were you at this church?” his father asked him with and eyebrow raised.
“Well, I was listening to this guy talk about God,” Jake explained innocently.
“My gosh Jake! There is no God. People just say that so they can have something to believe in. Now go upstairs and finish your homework.”
Jake ran to his room and went to his bed. He lay there, thinking. His dad was usually right about stuff. Maybe there was no God. Maybe Dan was full of himself and didn’t know what he was talking about. He listened to a complete stranger and believed it. His dad was right, there was no God.
“Jake! Dinner is ready!” his mom called from downstairs.
He headed downstairs at the pace of a gazelle. He was so caught up in all this God stuff he almost forgot about his stomach. He sat down and as soon as he was about to attack the food, his mom smacked his hand.
“Not until everyone is seated,” she said as she was putting the food on the table. He looked around and everyone was seated, except his sister. He almost forgot about Jaime, who was still upstairs in her room.
“Jake, go upstairs and get your sister,” his mom ordered from across the table.
Jake rushed upstairs and headed towards Jamie’s room.
Her room was all pink. She had a pink bedspread, pink lamp, and a pink chair. Her room was also a mess. Toys were everywhere. There was so much clutter, that you couldn’t even see the floor.
Jake hopped everywhere around the room trying not to step on anything. He finally reached Jaime, who was playing with her dolls.
“Hey, sis. It’s time for supper,” he said tapping her on the shoulder.
“Okay,” she replied.
They both headed downstairs and got seated at the dinner table. Jake and Jaime sat across from each other, and his mom and dad sat at the ends of the table like the queen and king in old medieval times.
Today’s dinner was his mom’s specialty, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes and gravy, and grilled pork chops. His mom sure did make a mean batch of mashed potatoes.
Jake could finally start eating since everyone was seated.
“So are you two ready for the first day of school tomorrow?” his mother asked.
“Yes ma’am!” Jaime called out.
Jake just sat there, not knowing what to say.
“Jake? What about you? Are you ready for school tomorrow?” his mother asked eyeing him from across the table.
“Uh. Yes ma’am,” he lied when the truth was he wasn’t ready for the first day of school.
Last year, his best friend, Chase, moved away because his mom and dad got better jobs. It was a difficult time because he tried to make new friends but everyone ignored him. He hoped he would have better luck this year.
A fantastic dinner was made complete by a dessert of homemade ice cream. Jake was so stuffed afterwards.
He cleaned up the dinner table and washed the dishes. Afterwards he went upstairs to his room.
His room wasn’t all decorated like Jaime’s room. It was more conservative. He just had off-white walls with the occasional artwork that Jaime had drawn for him on them. Jaime was quite the artist.
He grabbed his notebook and an ink pen from his desk, then he got on his bed and began writing. Writing was Jake’s passion. He could write about absolutely anything. He always carried his notebook and his pen in case anything that came to mind, he could write down. He glanced at his watch. It read 9:27. Jake figured he’d get to bed at a decent hour. He put his notebook and pen under the mattress. Then he turned off the lights and went to bed.

Omg! What the HELL is wrong with my leg??? Its scary/freaky/confusing! Please help!?
I am a long distance runner. For some reason, when I run about 5.5k, my left leg falls asleep! It goes numb, this makes it very hard to run because its painfull and uncomfortable.
Details:
It takes me about 24 minutes to complete the distance. I run on the sidewalks, no hills, the whole course is flat. After about 15-18 minutes my foot starts to fall asleep. Then it moves up to my knee and by the time I finish my run, my whole left leg from my toes to my knee is asleep and completly numb.
I am sure this has nothing to do with shoes, I tried two different pairs.
Questions:
What is wrong with my leg?
How can I fix this?
How serious is this?
Has this ever happened to you? Yes? What did you do to stop this?
Please help me out, running is my best sport and I really wanted to train this summer. But my stupid leg wont let me!
P.S. this didn't happen when I raced 6-8km races, it only happens when I train, maybe its because my training course is flat?
Omg! What the HELL is wrong with my leg??? Its scary/freaky/confusing! Please help!?
This happened to my friend. He acutally had to be rushed to the emergency room because he kept ignoring it. They did some tests and there was something wrong with his white blood cell count was way too low. Something is wrong with you, and only a doctor will be able to tell. Get to a doctor as soon as you can.
Reply:You need to seek help from your doctor, not the internet. It may be very dangerous, and we won't be able to properly diagnose you. Your doctor is paid to help and was schooled to help, so talk to him / her.
Reply:it sounds like a circulation problem or probably nerves.see a doctor right away this could be very serious such as a blood clot or stroke or heart attack.good luck.
Reply:try a chiropractor.
Reply:It's coming from your back. See an orthopedic doctor.
Reply:your probably running to much, when it starts gettin numb, just walk!
Reply:Is this the only part of your body that goes numb? Do you have any facial numbness?
Adding...I had this for a few years before I found out I have MS. As this is the only numbness you have, it is very unlikely the same thing. However, that is why I was asking. Good luck finding a doctor that can help you. Maybe you are pinching a nerve sometimes.

It saddens me. How do you feel?
It is really sad the way some people feel about the black race. They say we still whine about slavery, but they say nothing about the Jews who still complain about Hitler. White america, you need to walk in our shoes for just a day and we would see how fast you would start complaining. I went to visit a friend one day and coming out of the house the police tell me to get on the car. I have worked and paid taxes, obeyed the law and lived respectfully all my life. When I asked why I was being detained and checked like a career criminal I was told to just shut up. This is happening everyday. I got on a trolley a few years ago, sat behind a white lady and she got up and move. I went to a public park with a group of people white and black and we were insulted and told that we should leave the park. A friend of my son was shot dead by the police because he ran after a white man who stole his car. Take a walk in our shoes for just a day and then tell us we whine too much about injustices
It saddens me. How do you feel?
My history teacher told me something very interesting.
Every single nationality, person, race, and religion started out in Africa. Which means the world all started out as African American, but then as people moved to European countries the sun effected there color and that's why some people are darker then others. Therefore the people in Africa are darker, and Europeans are lighter. It disgusts me that white people think that there better then black. (I am white) If we all learned how similar we are, the world would be a much better place.
I believe all races are equally the same, because we really are, society just classes us as people we aren't.

Reply:i feel nothing either way -- just roll with the punches!!!!
Reply:no frosting off my cake
actually no, ; vicariously i live while the whole world dies.
Reply:I agree that it is harder for Blacks but it has always been that way, and we as black people have to rise above it, we have to be a little bit better at everything that we do because the odds are stacked against us. A lot of today's generation don't really understand that, their more concerned with cars, clothes, girls etc basically the ideas that mainstream media are feeding black children. Main steam media that is ultimately controlled by rich whites. We as a people have to rise above.
Reply:I'm not African American, but I just want to say one thing. I hate that everyday I have to feel guilty for being white. I understand that it's a lot harder for you then it may be for me, but you have to understand white people have it bad too. Still today white people are taking the rap for what the whites did so long ago. Yes, there is prejudice still against the African American race, but you guys are definitely prejudice against us. I'm sorry that this has to keep going on, but not everyone is open to change.
It really sucks that people still feel that way, but you have to understand that it may never change. Those prude old-fashioned families will just produce more of their own and teach them that they are superior to all else. It's something that has kept people from truly uniting, but there is nothing that can really be done. People have their views and they are usually set in stone.
Life is hard for everyone, but I get where you're coming from. I can't even imagine what you have to go through.
Reply:"I feel the same about the law in this world, it corrupted.
Reply:"White America" has its share of problems, too. Very bad things have happened to people of all races. Although you may have experienced discrimination, so have whites, even though I know you don't want to hear that. I have been made to listen to crap about how I am a "stupid white *****" and how my family was a bunch of slave owners, making me a disgusting whitey. My family never owned anyone, and that's a ridiculous accusation, but of course, people assume that because someone is white, they must be racist pieces of crap. BUT I am not allowed to call anyone else names like these, nor am I even allowed to identify anyone by their race. Why do I have to walk on eggshells and listen to discriminatory comments from others constantly? That's not fair, and I'm honestly sick of that.

Secondly, yes racism exists...someone doesn't have to YELL it out to be racist their attitude towards non-whites makes it pretty CLEAR if they are racists or not!!! So white people who "think" racism doesn't exist just think about this fact.....

Does anyone listen to Virgin radio in the mornings? Whats with Brian / Briony?
I occasionally listen to the radio in the mornings, and this morning hear about Virgin Radio's latest 'crazy idea' in that Christian O'Connell's producer/side kick Brian made an off the cuff comment last week that being a woman is easy, so this week they are making him walk around in womens clothing and the like so he can get a feel for what its like to be a women.
Of course Christian O'Connell goes into great depth about the oversize shoes he's wearing and the leopard skin pants etc and how hilarious it is. They even staged a running race in high heels against a woman to see how he'd go. Of course he lost the race and it was apparently hilarious and they all guffawed with laughter.
Only one problem.
Its a frig gen radio show!! what part of non-visual medium do they not understand.
Having some bloke who I've never met nor likely to dress up as a woman doesnt actually mean anything to me. I don't even have a visual image of him in his usual attire to compare to what he might look like dressed as a woman. So how can I find that funny?
Honestly .............. (my rant for today) .....
Does anyone listen to Virgin radio in the mornings? Whats with Brian / Briony?
Well Dave it will come as no surprise to you that once again I disagree.
You see Dave It works like this, they paint the picture/describe the scene etc and you use what most of us would refer to as Imagination to fill the gaps thereby being able to visualise the scene.
we all know you have a very active imagination Dave, that is proven by your McCann posts.
Take good care my Ozzie mate.
Reply:It doesnt sound that funny lol.
To dress up for a day in high heels isnt really giving the man an insight into being a woman. He needs to do it for a couple of weeks, working as a woman, kids, house etc etc and then see if its easy.
I must admit Im so organised that I do find all my jobs easy but thats me (i'll wait for the oooo hark at her comments rofl)
which reminds me, playtime over , off to change the beds. cyas xxx
if the radio station near me does something like this they post pictures on their website so you can have a look later, doesnt virgin radio do this?
Reply:believe it or not years ago there was a ventriloquist on the radio!!!
Reply:You're right, on the face of it, it doesn't make great radio.
But for a lot of people, it will work because unlike you, they are not 'occasional' listeners.
I find that if I listen to a particular DJ or show on the radio, as a one off, they are not always entertaining.
However, once you listen regularly, you start to know the people and the personalities involved and therefore have a bit more of a vested interest in what they are doing.
I remember thinking Johnny Vaughan doesn't have a radio voice. A courtesy car for a couple of days once where I couldn't change the station and I got converted and I now think he's the second funniest man on the radio!
Radio stations aren't just about playing music, the DJ's are an integral part and if you feel a connection to them, you'll listen.
I used to listen to BamBam on Kiss and enjoyed his show and the music. Since he left, I don't think I have ever listened to Kiss again!
I used to listen to Christian O'Connell regularly and found him really funny. Now I only flick onto him sometimes and don't find it as funny.
So, in answer to your question, listen regularly to Christian O'Connell, and you'll start to find his show funny. Listen only occasionally, and you won't get all the in-jokes.

This is a social question!?
What is your definition of culture?
Does the concept of culture really exist to you?
Alight with the idea that shoes are shoes no matter what they are called and what they look like, being that human culture is one culture, because is one race.
Do you support the idea that: Culture is the similarities that individuals and individual families agree with or accept, amongst differences in values?
This is a social question!?
%26gt;What is your definition of culture?
An abstract container for all that is relevant to an individual's ideas and experiences. Very much collective in that culture is shared between people and across generations.
%26gt;Does the concept of culture really exist to you?
Very much, though I can tell what my own is I'm sure I have a definable one beyond my Southern accent. I can see and appreciate other's culture, so I know it exist in a relative sense.
%26gt;Alight with the idea that shoes are shoes no matter what they are called and what they look like, being that human culture is one culture, because is one race.
Shoes are shoes, but some aren't very sexy, some are. Some aren't comfortable at all, some take some time to get used too, some break in to fit your feet better than others and some just come out of the box and give you a shoegasm. They can have different purposes and different uses too. Stilleto heeled pumps or steel toed work boots? Geta or Clogs? When you get down to it, they are essentially for the same reason, and have a similar design, and yet so diverse.
%26gt;Do you support the idea that: Culture is the similarities that individuals and individual families agree with or accept, amongst differences in values?
Yes, culture can be binding tradition. It is security and agelessness and an ever changing and chaotic world. I think it is very important to see other cultures, but explore and maintain your own.
Reply:"Culture" is deliberately a very open-ended idea. It's the sume total of all tangible (manufactured goods) and intangible (beliefs, norms, etc.) things characteristic of a group of people that have a fairly strong sense of self-identity and cohesiveness. And which must be taught and acquired (ie, non-genetic)
I don't believe there's anything that can be called human culture.
Reply:You are on to something. Yes, culture is defined as the similarities that individuals and individual families agree with or accept. But, we are not one culture or one race. Shoes are shoes are shoes because they have no volition or will. They can't think and be and do something they were not designed to do. We, however as people have all those traits and can decide to conform or deny the culture we find ourselves in. We have the ability to eat meat or not eat meat as we decide. We can believe in things our parent's wouldn't dream of believing in. And, we can become who we want to become. We are not stuck as poor white trash or arrogant selfish snobs.
Reply:You have a good beginning idea. Now, go to the biological sciences; evolutionary biology and these subsections. Human behavioral ecology, human ethology, population genetics and sociobiology. There you will find the truth, devoid of social science ideology. Culture, being superficial, is only the parameter of our evolved, biological heritage. In other words; humans make culture, culture does not make humans. Social scientists have a hard time with this " direction of fit ".

Does the concept of culture really exist to you?
Alight with the idea that shoes are shoes no matter what they are called and what they look like, being that human culture is one culture, because is one race.
Do you support the idea that: Culture is the similarities that individuals and individual families agree with or accept, amongst differences in values?
This is a social question!?
%26gt;What is your definition of culture?
An abstract container for all that is relevant to an individual's ideas and experiences. Very much collective in that culture is shared between people and across generations.
%26gt;Does the concept of culture really exist to you?
Very much, though I can tell what my own is I'm sure I have a definable one beyond my Southern accent. I can see and appreciate other's culture, so I know it exist in a relative sense.
%26gt;Alight with the idea that shoes are shoes no matter what they are called and what they look like, being that human culture is one culture, because is one race.
Shoes are shoes, but some aren't very sexy, some are. Some aren't comfortable at all, some take some time to get used too, some break in to fit your feet better than others and some just come out of the box and give you a shoegasm. They can have different purposes and different uses too. Stilleto heeled pumps or steel toed work boots? Geta or Clogs? When you get down to it, they are essentially for the same reason, and have a similar design, and yet so diverse.
%26gt;Do you support the idea that: Culture is the similarities that individuals and individual families agree with or accept, amongst differences in values?
Yes, culture can be binding tradition. It is security and agelessness and an ever changing and chaotic world. I think it is very important to see other cultures, but explore and maintain your own.
Reply:"Culture" is deliberately a very open-ended idea. It's the sume total of all tangible (manufactured goods) and intangible (beliefs, norms, etc.) things characteristic of a group of people that have a fairly strong sense of self-identity and cohesiveness. And which must be taught and acquired (ie, non-genetic)
I don't believe there's anything that can be called human culture.
Reply:You are on to something. Yes, culture is defined as the similarities that individuals and individual families agree with or accept. But, we are not one culture or one race. Shoes are shoes are shoes because they have no volition or will. They can't think and be and do something they were not designed to do. We, however as people have all those traits and can decide to conform or deny the culture we find ourselves in. We have the ability to eat meat or not eat meat as we decide. We can believe in things our parent's wouldn't dream of believing in. And, we can become who we want to become. We are not stuck as poor white trash or arrogant selfish snobs.
Reply:You have a good beginning idea. Now, go to the biological sciences; evolutionary biology and these subsections. Human behavioral ecology, human ethology, population genetics and sociobiology. There you will find the truth, devoid of social science ideology. Culture, being superficial, is only the parameter of our evolved, biological heritage. In other words; humans make culture, culture does not make humans. Social scientists have a hard time with this " direction of fit ".

I have a 1/2 marathon in a week and..?
i have about 300 miles on my shoes. should i retired them right after the 13.1 miles next sunday or use new ones for the race?
also, how mcuh mileage should i cut back on with a week to go until race day?
I have a 1/2 marathon in a week and..?
I have wrestled with this issue a couple of times. Typically if I need to buy shoes for an event I buy them two – three weeks ahead of time and start to transition them into my running week. If the shoes fit properly you really don’t need a break in period a few runs should tell you whether or not they would work for you.
Most manufactures will you that shoes will last 400 – 600 miles. So it really boils down to how your shoe is holding up at the 300 mile distance. Couple of things you can do, first look at the tread, if your heel strike is not worn completely down to the next layer you may be OK. Second, use the fingernail test. On the cushioned heel part of the shoe, press your finger nail into the cushioning if it bounces back quickly then again your shoe more then likely is fine.
If the shoe does not bounce back quickly and there is a fair amount of wear you may want to buy shoes. It only takes a couple of runs so buy them early in the week and use them in your Taper Schedule. If they feel alright use them in the race if not use the older ones.
Good luck

Reply:If they aren't causing any shin splint ect., then wear them. You don't want to wear a new pair of shoes without breaking them in for a week or two ahead of your race. You'd be asking for blisters and injury for sure.
Be safe, Use your old shoes until you have a new pair broke in.
Good Luck in your race =]]]
Reply:Hi
you should be fine with your shoes.
I would run 2-3 times this week.. not more than 5miles each.. not real fast.. and take of 1-2 days before your race..
Reply:if the shoes feel good, then stay in them
if you start having aches and pains in your lower legs and around your ankles then retire them, you should be ok at 300, mine last me until about 400.
if they do feel worn, make sure you run some in the new shoes, to break them in at least, never try anything new on raceday.
have fun
Reply:If the shoes are causing no porblems then just keep them. If you buy a new pair of shoes for the half marathon without breaking into them it may cause problems during the race. If you do buy them make sure you run in them a few times before the race.
Typically I run a very easy pace of about 6 miles or less in the last week of the marathon just to keep the legs loose and the body ready.

And, when you go to the cosmetic department and use all the lipstick and contamenate everything...well, no one else can buy it. And you wonder why we are out of the product that you want.You don't care though. Once, you actually have to work there, because you get laid off from you real job you'll understand. Not to mention that it wouldn't take long before you will get kicked out of the store. Most of the stuff on the list you could even go to jail for. I'm a Wal-Mart associate, and I don't think this is funny at all. I have to go behind idoits that come threw my department and clean up everything. I don't have time to do that, because I usually have a million other things to be doing. Wal-Mart employees are not your parents, and you should have some respect when you come in to the store. Just because your bored and have nothing else to do you come to Wal-Mart and make more work for us. Get a life. Grow up. Go find something to do with your time that uses some kind of thinking. When your at home do you make messes and not clean them up? I would hope not, otherwise it be pretty gross at your house. I'm sorry if you live in a pig pen, but don't make all of the Wal-Mart employees and customers walk around in your filth. I hear customers complaining all the time about how gross the stores are and its because of you that's its like that. Thanks for coming out and making people understand that us employees try to take care of your messes, but there are just to many of you and not enough of us. I don't expect my 10 points, but thanks for this...got out some frustration.

Empty room when letting go?
i got up early this mornig
and wandered through the house
everything was just as quiet
as one lone country mouse.
as i looked into her room
with everything in place
i realized more than ever
i was in the human race.
the time had gone so quickly
the tears race away
no laughing of my daughter
will ring out here today.
the tears began to flow
as i stood by her bed
and then i gently closed the door
and walked across the floor.
there were no shoes,books or clothes
strewn upon the floor
the many times i had wished
she would put them up once more
and now they are either moved away
or neatly put in place,
and there are only memories
of toys and curls and lace.
no tender arms around my neck
no more a good night kiss
the little darling that i love
i'm certain going to miss
please, god ,set and angel
to guard her day by day
becaus she is all grown, and happy
and very far away.
Empty room when letting go?
A very nice tribute to the love you have for your daughter. Parents sometimes forget that they grow up fast and leave. Next time someone wants to yell at their kid for not cleaning their room or doing what they were supposed to do your poem would be a good reminder for them.
Reply:Lovely tribute to your daughter. You've raised her, and now she's all grown up. It's a hard thing to face, I know. Mine, however are boys. I miss the times when they were small. I find myself reminiscing, just as you have. I guess it's a sign...we loved what we did. We did a good job!!
I hope the sun shines on you today, and . . . you receive a call from your daughter. Have a good day!
Reply:God Bless You. When I first saw your thread I thought ...well I didn't realize she had only moved away. What you do with the room is up to you. I think it would be good to talk with your daughter about what to do with the things in her room.
My parents ultimately made me take all my stuff. They love me dearly but they were anxious to move on to the next chapter of their lives as well.
My in-laws didn't change my wife's old room much, at least the furniture is the same. Now it is a guest room, and doesn't have the things it used to-- no bulletin board with dried corsages, etc...
My parents have shown me by example that it is good to identify what stage in life you are in-- for them it was more than just learning to live with out us kids, but retiring with gusto, traveling, and most recently, finally moving out of a house and into a condo where they don't have to do maintenance.. hang in there!!

Reply:Lovely tribute to your daughter. You've raised her, and now she's all grown up. It's a hard thing to face, I know. Mine, however are boys. I miss the times when they were small. I find myself reminiscing, just as you have. I guess it's a sign...we loved what we did. We did a good job!!
I hope the sun shines on you today, and . . . you receive a call from your daughter. Have a good day!
Reply:God Bless You. When I first saw your thread I thought ...well I didn't realize she had only moved away. What you do with the room is up to you. I think it would be good to talk with your daughter about what to do with the things in her room.
My parents ultimately made me take all my stuff. They love me dearly but they were anxious to move on to the next chapter of their lives as well.
My in-laws didn't change my wife's old room much, at least the furniture is the same. Now it is a guest room, and doesn't have the things it used to-- no bulletin board with dried corsages, etc...
My parents have shown me by example that it is good to identify what stage in life you are in-- for them it was more than just learning to live with out us kids, but retiring with gusto, traveling, and most recently, finally moving out of a house and into a condo where they don't have to do maintenance.. hang in there!!
Reply:*sigh*
What effect a lovely poem has on people. I see its a beautiful poem about you daughter. Your poem has a lot of feeling and is graceful if you have any more keep posting them I will surely read them.
Reply:i think i've read this before. can't remember who Actually wrote it tho.
