The Merrick 5k in Mechanicsburg, Pa.

Mr. Jamaica got out of bed this morning with a viral infection. He coughed like a dog barking. Mother Stephanie called me at 7:00 am and asked me if Daniel should run. Stephanie knew better than to ask that question.  Seventeen year ago, if she came to me telling me that she was sick. I would ask her, “How does your illness stop you from running?” The situation and questions have not changed. What is good for the mother is good for the child.

The speech before the race and the horn.

Daniel just as the horn sounds. He is the smallest and youngest in the race.



Daniel's Medal.

The Merrick Fund Foundation exist as a safety net for sick and injured adoptable animals in the care of rescues and shelters so the suffering that Merrick endured is not repeated.  

Below is the 3.1 Mile course that Daniel ran. Daniel was the youngest and the smallest one racing. However, his illness and his age did not stop him from coming in second in the “14 and Under “ age group with a time of 26 Minutes 21.1 seconds. Overall he placed 66 with 209 people in the race.  


This is the cross country layout where Daniel ran 3.06 miles. He ran between 6.8 and 7 Miles Per Hour. His Pace was between 8.29 and 8.49 Minutes Per Mile. He burned 440.6 Calories in the race.

Daniel's Post Race Interview

This is what Daniel won for his father, a bucket of tools. This race was not for small children. He was never suppose to be in this race.

How the World Really Works

My daughter on her wedding day.


It is Presidential election time again. I am voting for Obama. Not because I think he is doing a great job. I am voting for him because he is Black and I want to see Black people as the boss for once. OK, maybe one other reason. Mitt Romney is the rich people's candidate. I am part of the 47% that he claims mooch off of the government. As far as who is the best candidate for the job, Obama or his challenger, that not important. That depends on what you, the voter wants and that is an individual choice.
My daughter is young and is excited about this political propaganda that they put on TV. She really thinks that voting for Obama or his challenger is going to make a difference in her life. That is what the founding fathers want her and everyone else to think because making people think they have a stake in their government makes it easier to govern these same people. She does not know that in any election, local, state, or federal, the people are voting for employees who take orders from the corporate interest representing the world controlling families. They know how far they can go in their elected office. 

The Empire State Building in New York City, taken from New York, New Jersey.

For example, the mayor of a city can fix street lights and pave streets. But if the head of the major corporation in their city calls and says that they want to put 100 people in the street and out of their homes to building a multimillion dollar plant, that mayor will take over their homes for that company. It does not matter if the people in these homes are supporters or not.  Let’s say that the mayor sides with the people, the corporation will appeal to the County and get what they want. If the Mayor is hostile to the corporation's business, they will find and support some candidate to run against the Mayor. That candidate will have money from supporters and media attention. The corporation will stay in the background. The public will not know that the corporate leaders are behind the overthrow of the mayor.
Political Parties no matter what type of government it is under
 work for the World Controlling Families.


Preparing to Rule     
Since before Jesus walked the Earth, the ruling classes wanted to control the world. Why, only they can answer. It was not until the 15th century that the ruling class in Europe had the means to do this. Here is why the rulers of Europe intermarried. But they ran into several problems.
First, the ruling class must be able to speak with one voice for the whole world. Hitler backed by his banking, industrial, and military people showed how important that really is when trying to maintain world order.
Second, the world must be standardized so that people can go from one country and work in another. If you noticed in the last 50 years, all highway signs are starting to look the same around the world. So are the driving rules. For example, many people from India work today in the United States for multinational Companies. Corporate leaders move companies and production from country to another country.   Industries in china were once worked by Americans in American cities. Quietly, standardization is taking place and people are not realizing it. Your political leaders don’t work for you. They work for the ruling class through the political parties and the multinational interests. That is the reason why no matter who gets into office, nothing changes.
Third, the nation’s military is going to have to be placed under the control of the ruling class. This is why you have such organizations as NATO and the United Nations Security Council.  This will stop Civil War on an international scale. The ruling class will be able to control the people in the event that they start rebelling against the new world order. Hitler again showed why this is important and so are the rebellions taking place in the Middle East today.
The People and Their Rulers
The people are too far removed from world leadership to know that such leadership exists. The ruling families represent people in many of the leading nations around the world. They are leaders of multinational banking, industrial, and utility interest. These are the people with the world plans. They are so powerful that they can make or break a city, county, or state in the United States.
For example, in 1970, Pittsburgh, Pa. was one of the leaders in the production of steel, glass, paint, and coal. It was the third largest city in the nation with the most corporate headquarters. By 1990, 20 years later, Pittsburgh and its suburbs lost population. Out of 33 steel mills, 30 closed. The mills and many corporations moved out of the country. Other multinational corporations moved away from the tri-county area. Many supporting companies filed for bankruptcy and closed. The people who worked in these companies for generations found themselves unemployed, in debt, and having their homes foreclosed on. At the same time, people in the Middle Eastern nations, India, China, and Japan who only owned bicycles in the 1970, started owning cars and had money in the bank by 2010.
Power like this influences nations to the point where nations, no matter what form of government they may have, will conform to the wishes of these industrial leaders run by the world controlling families. This is the power that corporations have over local, state, and national interest. These corporations are controlled by the powerful world family leaders who will one day be your world government.

Analyzing the Results from Sasquatch Preservation Trail 5K Run



The Sasquatch 5K Run on Saturday Sept. 15, 2012 in York County was a nature trail run as opposed to a street and pavement run.  Daniel is not accustom to running up and down mountains on dirt and grass trails. He ran on about 600 feet of pavement. I have to analyze this race to see how he can improve on his running just like any other race that he takes part in. In this case, we will work on his weaknesses before his next cross country race on Sept. 29, 2012, the Merrick Fund Foundation 5k in Mechanicsburg, Pa. That race will be a street and pavement race. I expect his time to be better than the Sasquatch run. 

In the video below, Daniel is on the left end beside the high school runner in yellow.



Some people have behavior problems. Others have anger problems. Who is who in this video?

The Flash’s official time was 27 minutes, 59 seconds. He ran in the “boys 17 and under” class. The winner was a 17 year old that is a member of the Northern York Cross Country Team with a time of 18 Minutes, 18 seconds. He is twice as tall as Daniel and a lot stronger.  There were 29 people in his group and he came in 18th. He beat one 17 year old, one 16 year old, one 15 year old, one 12 year old, two 11 year olds, two 10 year olds, and two 8 year olds.  

Daniel was beaten by three 17 year olds, one 16 year old, one 15 year old, four 14 year olds, two 13 year olds, two 12 year olds, two 11 year olds, one 10 year old, and one 8 year old. I am concerned about the 8 year old because in USATF, he will run against 8 year olds. This one ran in 23 minutes, 11 seconds.  

 That is 4 minutes, 48 seconds faster than Daniel.  

In the overall male results, Daniel came in 77 out of 161 people.  In the overall men and women, Daniel placed 102 out of 279 people. The last person ran the race in one hour, 10 minutes, and thirty four seconds.  The last place man is 59 years old. A 73 year old female came in 136 with a time of 30 minutes, 28 seconds.  

More than 300 people signed up to run the race. Some did not show up. Others did not finish the race.




This race was in Runner’s World Magazine’s List of America’s Top Trail races. York Road Runners was responsible for timing the race.





Conclusion
Daniel was running against the York Road Runners Team  and he did very well. To my knowledge, none of these children that beat him run in the USATF organization. If so, only the 8 year old would compete against Daniel. However, Daniel will probably see the 10 year old and 8 year old when he attends Central Dauphin East High School in 7 years and competes in the schools cross country program.

Near term, the 8 year old showed us that we will have to work on more power and speed training.

David's Trains at Horse Shoe Curb

Photo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Noq8eIvcTE&feature=youtu.be

This is the Horse Shoe Curb Incline that takes tourist to the track area.

Two year old David was born with an aptitude for technical activities. At 12 months old, he could operate an IPAD. Now he has the ability to operate many types of hand held communication devices. He is only deficient in his ability to operate these machine because of his lack of reading skills. He likes to watch trains on his IPAD. That is why I went to Horse Shoe Curb, near Altoona Pennsylvania and videotaped two trains headed for Harrisburg.    

Click on the link below:
The trains are Norfolk Southern;
     
    This first train (26 T -- Merchandise in Containers Chicago, IL (47 St) to Harrisburg, Pa.)  is carrying food for the stores in Harrisburg and the second train (20T -- Merchandise in Containers Kansas City, MO. to Harrisburg, Pa.)
 is carrying packages for Fedx and UPS for delivery in Central Pennsylvania.

   
I have taken the train from Harrisburg to Chicago and road around this tourist attraction. As a child, I have taken the train from Homestead, Pa. to Altoona just to see these tracks curved like a horse shoe. Horse Shoe Curb is a great place to hold a family picnic and enjoy the fresh air in Western Pennsylvania. If you like trains, this is the place to be.

The price of admittance is $12 per person but it is worth it if you like trains.

Hey Jamaica!






Over 300 people competed in the Sasquatch Preservation Trail Run on the morning of Saturday Sept. 15, 2012. This meet was an off-road cross-country and trail run on private property permanently preserved by the Farm & Natural Lands Trust of York County. This race had a mix of terrain and elevation. Daniel ran through the woods, along the Codorus Creek as well as climbing a 1.5 mile hill. To get to the finish line, Daniel had to run up a 10 degree grade hill after coming out of a corn field.  

This was a very hard course to run and before the race, people who did not know 7 year old Daniel questioned me about letting him run it alone. Daniel's time 27 Minutes, 59 Seconds. He ran with the 17 year old and under class. After the race, people's attitude changed concerning Daniel's ability to complete the course as well as his ability to compete with children far older than himself. He was the youngest person competing. An 8 year old and a ten year old finished before him. In his age group about 6 people far older than him finished after him. Most of the adults finished after the Flash. 

I started to hear the same comments that I heard in just about every venue that we competed in. "Hey Jamaica, you did great!" "Nice going Jamaica!"

(Referring to link above.) This is one of the runners who could not keep up with Daniel as he ran like a Cherokee up the hill. As you can see, Daniel's race was well over. However, you can see people still crossing the finish line while Daniel was at the food table helping himself. 

This man ran with Daniel off and on from the time Daniel was four years old at Central Dauphin High School's track. He questioned Daniel's ability to run this course. In the end, Daniel ran across the finish line far ahead of him.


Here is the Jamaican Flash as he crossed the finish line.
