"There's not a better feeling than when you have found that moment of balance and harmony when both running and life come together. Then you know why you run and that you couldn't live without it."

-- Joan Benoit Samuelson, Running For Women

Quoted in "The Quotable Marathoner"

(Edited by Charles Lyons)

Her name is Rebecca "Becky" Parks, from Reisterstown Maryland. She finished second in the women's division.

There were 2343 women who participated in the race.

I also have a blog entry of sequential images of her running.

This was the quote of the day amid the entertainment news on the concession stand tickers at the Century Theaters- the best seat for the 21st century.

I imagine this was the case at all of them which used the tickercom feed. This was taken in Walnut Creek, California on November 19th, 2007.

The United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) Lagos on 18 July 2017 took the observance of the Nelson Mandela International Day to two cities in South West Nigeria. Two events were held at Freedom Park Lagos and St. Louis Girls Grammar School, Mokola Ibadan, Oyo State, reaching over 640 people comprising of students, NGOs and media. At the Lagos event which was attended by the Nobel Laurette for Literature, Prof Wole Soyinka and the Consul-General of the South African High Commission, Lagos, Mr Darkey Africa, participants engaged in 67 minutes of community service, students recited Mandela's quotable quotes, watched a film on the life of Nelson Mandela while Zulu dancers staged an exciting performance. In his remarks, the Nobel Laurette for Literature, Prof Wole Soyinka paid tributes to Nelson Mandela describing him as an embodiment of humanism, service and leadership. Speaking, the Consul-General of the South African High Commission, Lagos, Mr Darkey Africa noted that the legacy of Nelson Mandela resonates beyond the shores. The event in Ibadan also featured educational briefing of students, Nelson Mandela Quotable Quotes, film screening and 67 minutes of clean-up. The two events were held in collaboration with United Nations Association of Nigeria (UNAAN) and Global Youth Leadership & Girl-Child Foundation (GYLGF).

-hahaha, mga quotable quotes na matagal ko ng hindi nababasa.

Dennis Ray "Oil Can" Boyd (b: October 6, 1959) is a former starting pitcher in MLB. Boyd played for the Boston Red Sox (1982–89), Montreal Expos (1990–91), and Texas Rangers (1991). He batted and threw right-handed.

His nickname comes from his beer-drinking days in his hometown of Meridian, Mississippi, where beer is referred to as "oil." Boyd had one of the more colorful personalities of his generation and a quotable outlook that made him memorable long after his career ended.

From 1983-85 Boyd won 31 games for Boston, with 15 victories in 1985. In the same season, he posted career-highs in games started (35), complete games (13), strikeouts (117) and innings pitched (272.1).

In 1986 he won a career high 16 games for the Sox.

In a 10-season career, Boyd collected a 78-77 record with 799 strikeouts and a 4.04 ERA in 1389.2 innings.

Hi All & Tim

May I add my thanks to you all and wish you a happy Christmas and lots of good Voling together in 2018. I cannot wait. All those bonfires, cakes and sarcastic humour.

I thought I would be clever and write a piece about Tuesday incorporating some relevant quotes but the effort has quite overtaken me. So here instead are a few lines from a very wise & quotable Englishman .

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.

I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.

Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.

There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts.

We forge the chains we wear in life.

No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it to anyone else.

There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.

The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.

The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.

There are loads more to choose from and I have to say I was very surprised, perhaps I should read some of his books instead of relying on BBC Childrens Dramas from my earlier years when, hard to believe I was a sprog with hopes and the occasional dream, many of which have been far exceeded in life.

Hi All,

Many thanks for all your hard work at Flitton Moor on Tuesday. We were slightly down on the usual numbers but it didn’t stop you getting a whole lot done! I know David was pleased with the result and in his own words:

Thanks to all those who turned out on Tuesday at Flitton Moor - you did an amazing job as always.

Re fencing: I was expecting at the very most that half of the fence would be completed - and you did 2 thirds of it. Well done. The FoFM will finish it shortly in the new year.

Thanks also to those who manned the fire - and dragged brash to it. Almost all the was cut down was burnt.

And a special mention to the 6 hardy souls who spent the morning digging nettles.

A Merry Christmas to all, and a healthy 2018,

David

Thank you also to Lucinda, Sue and Erika for helping out with refreshments at lunchtime and to Malcolm and Jackie for such a lovely cake.

The next Tuesday task will be at Sandy Smith on the 2nd January and will be doing a bit more thinning/coppicing in the plantation near the bridge over the Flit plus maybe a few other jobs.

But there will also be a task at Maulden Heath next Thursday (28th) if anyone wishes to come along. The task will be clearing brash and regeneration in the Adder Field and, of course, having a fire; meet at the Picnic Area at 10am.

Thanks for all your hard work this year and I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year!

**Capitol Area Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 78001978, date listed 1978-04-15

State Capitol building and environs

Raleigh, NC (Wake County)

The Capitol Area Historic District includes this central square, the surrounding structures - churches on each corner and government offices facing the capitol - and streets extending to the east and west. These streets include a number of distinguished and representative domestic buildings and churches. No commercial buildings are represented. Though the buildings represent a plethora of styles and periods, there is a persistent, identifiable continuity with few intrusions (except for gap sites created by large parking areas). The boundaries of the district roughly correspond to the locally designated historic district. (1)

The square itself became a landscape of commemoration for noble deeds, sacrifices, achievements, sayings, and official sentiments of the state. A third of the memorials pay tribute to individual and events of the Civil War. The largest and earliest of these, a Confederate monument erected in 1894, features a tall stone shaft on an elaborate base, with two statues, decorations, and inscriptions, and cannon placed at Fort Caswell during the War. Other Civil lvar monuments include Gutzon Borglum's statue of Henry Lawwon Wyatt of Bethel, North Carolina, said to have been the first soldier to die in battle; sculptor Augustus Lukeman's sentimental tribute to the women of the Confederacy (1914); a plaque honoring Samuel A'Court Ashe (1840-1938), last surviving commissioned officer of the Confederate States Army and noted editor.

The non-Civil War monuments include a mid-nineteenth century copy of Houdon's statue of Washington; F. H. Packer's statue of Worth Bagley, first American killed in action in the Spanish-American War; statues of Zebulon B. Vance (by H. J. Ellicot) and Charles Aycock, each flanked by tablets of bas reliefs by Borglum and quotable quotations; statue of noted educator Charles Duncan Mciver (1806-1906) by Ruchstuhl; and a large tableau (1948) of the three presidents of the United States claimed by North Carolina: James K. Polk, Andrew Jackson, and Andrew Johnson. (1)

you'd think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin

and it only feels worse when I stay in one place

so I'm always pacing around or walking away

I keep drinking the ink from my pen

and I'm balancing history books up on my head

but it all boils down to one quotable phrase

Day 260-Today is Tim Curry's 73rd birthday and I celebrated in his honour by watching these 2 movies.

1) Clue! This movie. When I saw this as a lid, I died laughing at all the weirdness and what makes it so much funnier is Tim as Wodsworth. His delivery and the way he plays with words and actions makes everyones reactions all that much more hilarious. It mustve been hard to work with hi, trying to keep a straight face during scenes. The movie itself is so quotable and memorable but only in cult status form it seems. I love how they have multiple endings and I read once that different theaters ran the different endings! How mad is that?!?!?

2) Charlie's Angels. While maybe not his most famous movie, he was right awesome in this as the evil corporate guy, up to a point where the plot somewhat changes. HE looked as though he was having fun on the set and with these girls, its hard not to see that.

I had a chance to meet Tim Curry at a convention and I have to say I was quite emotional and had to get composed before seeing him. The first time I had seen him was in Legend (my step cousin's sister was obsessed with the movie...because she liked unicorns...she was little), though at the time I had no idea. So then I see Clue and then put the two together. I have seen a number of his films but he is in so many, Im still watching them, as it were. I love how he is such a chameleon and is so different for each role but still has that Tim Curry about it. I hope he is doing better now. I'll find out soon, since he will he in Dallas at a con in May. He must be doing pretty good then. <3 HBD Tim!

“Your life is not an episode of Skins. Things will never look quite as good as they do in a faded, sun-drenched Polaroid; your days are not an editorial from Lula. Your life is not a Sofia Coppola movie, or a Chuck Palahniuk novel, or a Charles Bukowski poem. Grace Coddington isn’t your creative director. Bon Iver and Joy Division don’t play softly in the background at appropriate moments. Your hysterical teenage diary isn’t a work of art. Your room probably isn’t Selby material. Your life isn’t a Tumblr screencap. Every word that comes out of your mouth will not be beautiful and poignant, infinitely quotable. Your pain will not be pretty. Crying till you vomit is always shit. You cannot romanticize hurt. Or sadness. Or loneliness. You will have homework, and hangovers and bad hair days. The train being late won’t lead to any fateful encounters, it will make you late. Sometimes your work will suck. Sometimes you will suck. Far too often, everything will suck - and not in a Wes Anderson kind of way. And there is no divine consolation - only the knowledge that we will hopefully experience the full spectrum - and that sometimes, just sometimes, life will feel like a Coppola film.”

John Trapp (5 June 1601, in Croome D'Abitot – 16 October 1669, in Weston-on-Avon), was an English Anglican Bible commentator. His large five-volume commentary is still read today and is known for its pithy statements and quotable prose; his volumes are quoted frequently by other religious writers.

Son of Nicholas Trapp, of Kempsey, Worcestershire, Trapp studied at the Free School in Worcester and then at Christ Church, Oxford (B.A., 1622; M.A., 1624). He became usher of the free school of Stratford-upon-Avon in 1622 and its headmaster in 1624, and was made preacher at Luddington, near Stratford, before becoming vicar of Weston-on-Avon in Gloucestershire. He sided with parliament in the English Civil War and was arrested for a short time. He took the covenant of 1643 and acted as chaplain to the parliamentary soldiers in Stratford for two years. He served as rector of Welford-on-Avon in Gloucestershire between 1646 and 1660 and again as vicar of Weston from 1660 until his death in 1669. Trapp had married Mary Gibbard in 1624; they had eleven children. Their son Joseph 1638–1698), rector of Cherrington, Gloucestershire, was father of Joseph Trapp, first Oxford Professor of Poetry.

Trapp's works have been quoted by religious writers including Charles Spurgeon (1834–1892). Ruth Graham, the daughter of Ruth Bell Graham, said that John Trapp, along with C.S. Lewis and George MacDonald, was one of her mother's three favourite sources for quotations. (Wikipedia)

GST Eastern Voles Christmas gathering at Flitton Moor

19/12/2017

Hi All & Tim

May I add my thanks to you all and wish you a happy Christmas and lots of good Voling together in 2018. I cannot wait. All those bonfires, cakes and sarcastic humour.

I thought I would be clever and write a piece about Tuesday incorporating some relevant quotes but the effort has quite overtaken me. So here instead are a few lines from a very wise & quotable Englishman .

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.

I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.

Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.

There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts.

We forge the chains we wear in life.

No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it to anyone else.

There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.

The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.

The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.

There are loads more to choose from and I have to say I was very surprised, perhaps I should read some of his books instead of relying on BBC Childrens Dramas from my earlier years when, hard to believe I was a sprog with hopes and the occasional dream, many of which have been far exceeded in life.

Hi All,

Many thanks for all your hard work at Flitton Moor on Tuesday. We were slightly down on the usual numbers but it didn’t stop you getting a whole lot done! I know David was pleased with the result and in his own words:

Thanks to all those who turned out on Tuesday at Flitton Moor - you did an amazing job as always.

Re fencing: I was expecting at the very most that half of the fence would be completed - and you did 2 thirds of it. Well done. The FoFM will finish it shortly in the new year.

Thanks also to those who manned the fire - and dragged brash to it. Almost all the was cut down was burnt.

And a special mention to the 6 hardy souls who spent the morning digging nettles.

A Merry Christmas to all, and a healthy 2018,

David

Thank you also to Lucinda, Sue and Erika for helping out with refreshments at lunchtime and to Malcolm and Jackie for such a lovely cake.

The next Tuesday task will be at Sandy Smith on the 2nd January and will be doing a bit more thinning/coppicing in the plantation near the bridge over the Flit plus maybe a few other jobs.

But there will also be a task at Maulden Heath next Thursday (28th) if anyone wishes to come along. The task will be clearing brash and regeneration in the Adder Field and, of course, having a fire; meet at the Picnic Area at 10am.

Thanks for all your hard work this year and I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year!

**Capitol Area Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 78001978, date listed 1978-04-15

State Capitol building and environs

Raleigh, NC (Wake County)

The Capitol Area Historic District includes this central square, the surrounding structures - churches on each corner and government offices facing the capitol - and streets extending to the east and west. These streets include a number of distinguished and representative domestic buildings and churches. No commercial buildings are represented. Though the buildings represent a plethora of styles and periods, there is a persistent, identifiable continuity with few intrusions (except for gap sites created by large parking areas). The boundaries of the district roughly correspond to the locally designated historic district. (1)

The square itself became a landscape of commemoration for noble deeds, sacrifices, achievements, sayings, and official sentiments of the state. A third of the memorials pay tribute to individual and events of the Civil War. The largest and earliest of these, a Confederate monument erected in 1894, features a tall stone shaft on an elaborate base, with two statues, decorations, and inscriptions, and cannon placed at Fort Caswell during the War. Other Civil lvar monuments include Gutzon Borglum's statue of Henry Lawwon Wyatt of Bethel, North Carolina, said to have been the first soldier to die in battle; sculptor Augustus Lukeman's sentimental tribute to the women of the Confederacy (1914); a plaque honoring Samuel A'Court Ashe (1840-1938), last surviving commissioned officer of the Confederate States Army and noted editor.

The non-Civil War monuments include a mid-nineteenth century copy of Houdon's statue of Washington; F. H. Packer's statue of Worth Bagley, first American killed in action in the Spanish-American War; statues of Zebulon B. Vance (by H. J. Ellicot) and Charles Aycock, each flanked by tablets of bas reliefs by Borglum and quotable quotations; statue of noted educator Charles Duncan Mciver (1806-1906) by Ruchstuhl; and a large tableau (1948) of the three presidents of the United States claimed by North Carolina: James K. Polk, Andrew Jackson, and Andrew Johnson. (1)

Dad's PMMA batchmate and companion for 18mos. on his 1st ship voyage, Tito Tisoy, came over and visited us with his son, Arvic. It's been 15years since they last met and their exchange of stories on how it was being a 1st time cadet amazed me. That was over 4 bottles of San Mig Light and rounds of tequila shot :)

Meron lang sinabi si Daddy tonight na hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan:
