Before I got braces I was going to upgrade from the rubbish mouthpiece I got with my yamaha trumpet (11B4) to a Bach 3C. Is this still a sensible move?
Before I got braces I was going to upgrade from the rubbish mouthpiece I got with my yamaha trumpet (11B4) to a Bach 3C. Is this still a sensible move?
Players tend to find a slightly larger mouthpiece more comfortable with braces, perhaps because it tends to distribute pressure differently. My advice would be to try it and see how it feels.

Bach 3C has a sharp rim ( 11B4 is not that sharp ) which can be uncomfortable for players with dental braces(same problem for those with crooked teeth) maybe you should try something with a rounded and wide rim ... Bach has a 3CW mouthpiece ( slightly wider rim ) . but don't buy one untill you try it , because technical specs is not enough to guarantee you a good choice .
I had braces on for 7 years. About 2 years after getting my braces on I switched from a 7C (whatever make it was I'm not sure) to a Bach 3C for like 4 years. Then I switched to a Laskey 75MD, but just recently switched back to the Bach 3C. In all honesty the Bach 3C isnt that bad with braces. Just do what you need to do so you get the braces off at a reasonable time (not 7 years). Also I know it's terrible and hurts and they bleed and all that but just power through it. You'll get used to it. Wax wont do anything but change your embouchure even more that the braces already are. The 3C is a great mouthpiece, I'd recommend it in a braces situation. Enjoy.
Although you may be anti Yamaha try the Bobby Shew Jazz piece, as far as i know it is a Bach 3c copy with a rounder more comfortable rim. Works well for me at the moment having just changed from a 7c.

Ok, so trying to find the perfect mouthpiece for braces can be a lost cause. Playing with braces just sucks, but there are a few things you can do. I'm sure you've tried the wax method which I personally hate. Wax get everywhere and it really doesn't feel all that much better. If you haven't tried this explain your situation to the orthadontist and he should hive you some wax.
Ok, so thenext solution is what worked for me. Go buy a mothgaurd, like a sports one. Then cut out a strip (about the size of your teeth across your face). Boil up some water and with some tongs boil the strip you cut. When the strip becomes moldable for. It to your braces/teeth. Do the top and bottom teeth seperatley. Make sure they aren't too thick too. Anyways, now you have a nice braces gaurd for your mouth. It worked for me and my friend in high school at least. Hope this helps.
The 11B4 is a decent mouthpiece. Not too big, not too small, full sound, easy to play.
I would not change anything in the beginning. With the braces on, you are hitting a moving target anyway. I think changing mouthpieces is one of the worst things that you can do.
The mouthguard idea sounds good. I'll have some students try it!
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A key union that supports US Airways' (LCCUA.UL) planned merger with American Airlines (AAMRQ.PK) can weigh in on the court fight to stop the deal, the judge hearing a government challenge to the combination said on Wednesday.
The Transport Workers Union, which represents ground workers at American Airlines, had originally asked to be an intervener in the lawsuit, which would have allowed it to voice opinions to protect its members' rights.
The Justice Department and the two airlines both objected, partly on the grounds that the union might slow the case. Companies contemplating mergers prefer to move quickly since delays can hamper planning and are expensive.
The union relented and asked instead to file a brief in the case. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly agreed in a two-page order.
Trial in the case is to begin on November 25.
In January, the union reached an agreement with US Airways and American that would grant immediate raises of 4.3 percent once the two carriers merge.
The union represents more than 20,000 workers at American, including flight simulator technicians, fleet service clerks, dispatchers, ground school instructors and maintenance control technicians.
The Justice Department filed a lawsuit in August to stop the deal, saying it would lead to higher prices.
The complaint focuses on Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C., where the two carriers control a combined 69 percent of takeoff and landing slots. It also listed more than 1,000 different routes where, between them, the two airlines dominate the market.
The airlines have defended the proposed merger, saying it would create $500 million (313.3 million pounds) in savings to consumers annually by creating a stronger competitor to Delta Air Lines Inc (NYS:DAL) and United Continental Holdings Inc (NYS:UAL).
The case at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia is No. 1:13-cv-1236.

On May 5, 2014, Andre Russell had adopted a bizarre strategy to ensure Shane Watson left an ordinary delivery go past him. Abhishek Mukherjee explains why Russell's action was perfectly legal.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) often comes up with one novelty after another, and of late, most of them have not been the likes of which you would want to discuss with your children. What Andre Russell did the other day was, however, a novelty.
Let us go through the run of incidents:
- Russell ran in to bowl to Shane Watson. So far, so good.
- Just before he reached the bowling crease, Russell slowed down, almost pulling out of the run-up.
- Watson obviously fell for it: he backed out, anticipating Russell to go back to his mark.
- Russell, however, continued in a lacklustre ambling motion, eventually delivering the ball.
- A bemused Watson, thoroughly taken aback by the proceedings, was too stunned to react, and saw the ball go past him harmlessly.
It was an ordinary delivery, but a dot ball was obtained thanks to some exceptional thinking (whether planned or impromptu) on Russell's part. It may or may not have been a well-rehearsed act, but whatever it was, it had its effects. Of course, if used on a consistent basis, batsmen would be smart enough to capitalise on it.
The question to ask is: was Russell's act legal? Let us go through the laws.
Law 42.4, the closest to Russell's performance, states: "It is unfair for any fielder deliberately to attempt to distract the striker while he is preparing to receive or receiving a delivery."
Russell was certainly not distracting Watson. What he did was a change in run-up — which is certainly not anything illegal.
No law pertains to the bowler's run-up, which meant that Mike Procter or Sohail Tanvir (bowling off the wrong foot — though one may argue that a delivery stride is not a part of a run-up), Colin Croft (emerging from behind the umpire at the last moment), Abdul Qadir (no words for it), or Paul Adams (once again, the delivery stride was the part in question) all had justified actions.
Years ago, Mohinder Amarnath had adopted a similar run-up where he almost stopped before delivering the ball. However, that became his regular run-up, so there was no element of surprise when he did that. Russell's act was different: it was a change of run-up for a single delivery without notifying anyone.
While switching hands or the side of the wicket from where you want to bowl are mandatory to be informed to the umpires, a change in run-up is not. Which is why Russell's scheme was entirely legal, and to add to that, an extremely cunning and effective one.
Whether it was a sporting act is, however, something that can be debated on. The purists may not have thought too highly of it.

With the newly developed topas® plus X, bedra continues its success
story in the field of coated EDM wires. Tests have shown that cutting
rates increase enormously by using coated electrodes of the topas®
family. With topas® plus X, bedra is once again setting the benchmark.
EDM wire was especially designed for the existing X technology on
Charmilles machines and allows you to attain cutting speeds which are
up to 35 percent faster compared to plain wire. This enormous increase
in performance will be achieved even under poor flushing conditions.
topas® plus X is applicable immediately on all Charmilles machines
using the existing cutting technology; new parameter settings are not
necessary. As with all the other electrodes of the topas® family,
topas® plus X offers high reliability due to its excellent resistance
to wire breaks. The same applies to cutting critical contours and
variable cutting heights. Regarding profitability, topas® plus X is the
uncompromising alternative to conventional brass wire. Furthermore,
topas® plus X allows you to tap the full potential of modern generators
and thus measurably reduce processing times. The crucial importance of
using the optimal EDM wire can be illustrated by taking an example from
the mould making of a large German plastic profile manufacturer: by
only using a high performance wire from the topas® plus family, the
required increase in cutting rates could be realised (as compared to
brass wire), and as a result, the processing time of a work piece was
reduced from 29 to 24 hours.
In closure: With the new high
performance wire topas® plus X for Charmilles machines, bedra has once
again succeeded in creating productivity advantages for wire cutting at
an excellent price-performance ratio. This supplement to the
well-proven topas® family will enable users in the tool and die making
industry to significantly improve their competitiveness.

An unknown person fired multiple shots into a pair of Bradenton-area homes early today, authorities said.
No one was injured by the shootings, which occurred around 1:45 a.m. in the 6300 block of Seventh Street West, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
The incident started with the shooter firing a round that shattered a living room window at a vacant home on the road, deputies reported. Moments later, the shooter blasted a round at the front door of a nearby home, then shattered a bedroom window above where a 41-year-old resident was sleeping.
The shooter then raced from the area before deputies arrived, according to reports.
Investigators have not yet released information on what type of weapon was used in the shootings, as they continue to work the case.

AHL Game Night: 1-23-10 Admirals at Monarchs
Jim Johnson is 2-0-0 as Head Coach.
Jaroslav Janus allowed 3 goals on 20 shots for the win. He has to be basking in all this goal support he's suddenly getting.
First Period
MCH Gauthier, (7) (Holloway, Cavanagh), 3:42
NOR Smolenak, (6) (Craig, Mihalik), 19:08
Second Period
NOR Fadden, (1) (Wishart, Parrish), 3:32 (PP)
NOR Fornataro, (2) (Quick, Fadden), 6:05
MCH Walker, (3) (Clune, Elkins), 17:25
Third Period
MCH Westgarth, (8) (King, Kolomatis), 10:13
NOR Hall, (9) (Smolenak, Krajicek), 16:59
NOR Smolenak, (7) (Wishart), 19:18 (EN)
Adam Hall and Mitch Fadden were the game's first and second stars. Norfolk outshot Manchester, which is in first place in the Atlantic Division, by a stunning 49-20 margin. The recent changes to the Norfolk staff have, if nothing else, lit a fire under the team.
Fadden scored his first AHL goal in the game and has 4 points over the past 2 games after going scoreless for the first 15 games of his pro career. The consensus on Fadden has always been that if he commits himself to hustle defensively and physically, and he learns to train like a pro, he can be a scorer not just at this level but up top in the NHL as well. He's struggled with some injuries and he'll probably need a big boy workout regime to build himself up this offseason to help prevent those, but the effort level has been way up with Fadden and the floodgates have finally opened this weekend. The Lightning have to be very pleased to see him coming on.
Speaking of which, Ty Wishart has 3 multi-point games in his last 4 contests. He's playing his way into the conversation for next year's Lightning blueline.
The best news for the Admirals may have been 2 goals and 1 assist by Radek Smolenak. With Brandon Bochenski up in Tampa and Martins Karsums off in Riga, Latvia, Norfolk needs all hands on deck in the scoring department. Smolenak had just 2 points in the 15 games prior to tonight's contest. Smolenak had 24 goals last season, but he only had 5 coming into tonight. He needs to get hot as the Admirals try to climb the ladder back into playoff contention.
Norfolk picks up 2 points on Adirondack and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and keeps pace with Binghamton with the win. So, the Admirals move within 4 points of the Penguins for the final playoff spot. That's the good news. The bad news is that the Phantoms, who are 3 points ahead of the Ads, have 2 games in hand on Norfolk and the Senators, who are 2 points ahead of the Ads, have 3 games in hand. So, every point is extremely precious for Norfolk right now.

Since October 31, 2012, City Harvest has delivered more than seven million pounds of food in direct response to Hurricane Sandy, in addition to our regular deliveries. We've also worked closely with the food pantries and soup kitchens in our network to help them rebuild after the storm.
City Harvest faced our own storm-related challenges, including significant damage to our fleet and refrigeration compressors. Less than 72 hours after Sandy made landfall, City Harvest was operating at 100% capacity. With a fleet of 19 rented trucks on the road making pickups and deliveries, we distributed some 315,000 pounds of food in the first three days of the recovery e¬ffort to help feed our neighbors in need. At the same time, our Food Sourcing team secured more than 20 tractor trailer loads of food to be delivered to our Facility in the following days, as additional food donations began pouring in from all over the country.
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our food donors and supporters, and through partnerships with the Red Cross, the Mayor's Office, Office of Emergency Management, FEMA, and other anti-hunger organizations, City Harvest was immediately able to be on the front line of the recovery efforts in New York City, delivering millions of pounds of much needed food to New Yorkers affected by Sandy in each of the five boroughs.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece no longer has too many public servants and is close to reaching staff reduction targets demanded by bailout lenders two years before the deadline, the government said Friday.
Administrative Reform Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis also insisted that his bailed out eurozone member country is on the brink of recovery.
The number of workers on the state payroll has been slashed from 913,000 at the end of 2009 to 681,392 on Nov. 30, with annual spending on wage costs reduced by just over one-third, the government said.
Greece's once massive public sector — about 20 percent of all jobs in the country before the crisis — and lax spending controls are often cited as key reasons for the nation's financial turmoil and international bailout.
Rescue loans from other eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund helped Greece dodge bankruptcy after it lost market access in 2010. As a condition to receiving 240 billion euros ($328 billion) in the bailout packages, Greece agreed to reduce the number of people on the state payroll by 150,000 by the end of 2015.
"The reality shown by the data is not widely known by the public and our creditors," Mitsotakis said. "The main challenge for 2014 is the shift from quantitative targets to qualitative ones. ... The problem with the public sector, now, isn't that it's too large, but that it's ineffective."
He made the remarks during a debate in parliament for the 2014 budget to end with a midnight vote Saturday.
Greece is struggling to complete its latest round of negotiations with bailout lenders, with the pace of staff cuts among the issues that must be resolved and ultimately allow Greece to qualify for long term debt-relief from its creditors.
The government is predicting a modest return to growth next year after a six-year recession that erased more than a fifth of its output and left the national debt at around 175 percent of its gross domestic product.
A spokesman for the main opposition party, Syriza, described the 2014 budget as a "crime," noting continued cuts in government spending on health and other services.
"You're only concern is to repay debts without any delay, while you continue to commit a crime against the public," lawmaker Panagiotis Lafazanis said.
"Lengthening debt repayment terms and reducing the interest further will not work. The only way the country will breathe again is if a large part of its debt is canceled," he said.

The service and procedure was poor.

I arrived more than 30 minutes early to be left for that entire time before anyone inquired as to why I was there and I was not offered a refreshment or magazine.

If your child was born in Moffat County over the past two decades, Doris Moore, a volunteer with The Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, just might have taken his or her newborn baby photo.
Moore, who has helped out for nearly three decades at the hospital,
said one little guy arriving on Oct. 5, 1981, made what she said is the best part of her job just a little brighter that day.
I have a grandson who is going to be 21 next month, and I have a picture of him, Moore said with a smile while working on Fridays time sheets and helping guests at TMHs information desk.
After 27 years of helping out with the TMH Auxiliary the 20-plus strong Pink Ladies corps Moore said shes not slowing down anytime soon.
The TMH Auxiliary volunteers in numerous capacities.
Moore, 80, and fellow Pink Lady Evelyn Pearson have volunteered a combined 56 years and nearly 30,000 hours.
I could stay home and do dishes but Ive done that for as long as I can remember, Moore said laughing. Here, you feel like youre helping.
Pearson, who has been with the group since 1973, said shes just carrying out her sense of community responsibility.
I feel like everybody should do something for their community, Pearson said. I have to be busy. I just cant sit.
Friends introduced both to the group in the early 1970s.
Moores family arrived in Craig in 1975. In earlier days, as a hospital patient, the care she received then left her eager to give back once she was settled in her new home.
Back then, we counted laundry because at that time they didnt have a laundry here, she said. We left flowers in everybodys room.
Some days brought her into the emergency room, or to the side of worried families.
Then, the hospital didnt have full-time ER nurses, so we would greet people, get coffee for them or clean up rooms after they were through, said Moore, who has also worked with the hospitals switchboard and sorted mail.
Today, she works a nine-hour day, twice-per week.
Starting at about 8:30 a.m. Friday, she kept track of volunteer hours and helped patients and guests at TMHs front entrance.
But volunteers rotate positions week to week, according to staff needs, and these days, Pink Ladies do everything from cooking to English-Spanish translation for patients and their families.
Pearson has worked in the hospitals business office almost exclusively.
Her experience at an Idaho newspaper landed her the position on her first day at the hospital.
I worked that day making bed packs, she said. The president of the auxiliary at that time asked if I could type.
Pearson was told to show up at the business office next Tuesday.
Ive been there ever since, she said.
Her duties have changed as time has put patient-account management, and filing duties, in the hands of computers.
Now Im laminating insurance cards and those sort of things, she said.
Both Pearson and Moore noted the changes in the hospital, the building itself and in policy, during their service. The business office, then, Pearson said, about half the size of her living room, was located in todays dining room. Pearson also said she breathes a lot easier with one late-1980s policy change.
The girls in the office would smoke, she said. You would just go home and reek.
Her current 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday non-smoking working environment remains a labor of love, she said. Health permitting, she plans on earning many more volunteer hours.
I wouldnt be there if I didnt think I was doing something that was creative or helping.
Randy Phelps, TMH administrator, said TMH Auxiliary is vital to day-to-day operations of the hospital.
We could function without them, but it would greatly diminish the quality of a lot of nice things for patients, Phelps said.
Theyre also key fund-raisers for various items needed at the hospital.
Several years ago, they raised money for a swamp cooler and air-conditioning in the kitchen, said Phelps, noting TMHs capital budget couldnt afford renovations to the room built in 1950.

Kanye West has always been a bit eccentric. He joined Twitter back in 2010, but has only tweeted 29 times since. And his most recent Twitter antics are definitely a little weird.
The performer has deleted all his former tweets except one he made on Monday, Jan. 7 that just reads "FAM" and features the above photo of himself and baby mama Kim Kardashian and performers Jay-Z and Beyonce.
Except it's not a picture he took or had someone take for him. It's a Getty picture from the 2012 BET Awards back in July. You can see the original here, which also features Beyonce's sister Solange.
We aren't sure who the man next to Kim is. Maybe he's a seat filler, because in several other pictures from the event the seat is empty; and sometimes the seat is filled by Nicki Minaj.

Joseph King and Isaac Slade, two members of the Denver megaband The Fray who wrote hit songs such as "How to Save a Life," are suing their manager, Greg Latterman, over a 2005 copyright contract. The suit, in a Denver U.S. District Court, claims the band "would not have been deprived of valuable assets and income that should rightly be theirs" had Latterman's company, Gregg Alan Corp., not engaged in "fraud," reports the BBC.
Latterman's corporation has reportedly earned at least $700,000 from the publishing deal, in addition to another $2.1 million for representing the band, according to Pollstar, which writes that the suit also claims a breach of fiduciary duty and trust, as well as unjust enrichment. A spokesperson for Latterman calls the band's allegations "meritless" and says they are based upon a "false and misleading accusation."
Latterman played a pivotal business role in the band's ascent to the pinnacle of pop stardom, including worldwide sales in excess of 4 million albums.

With Seahorsel, Todd's highly inspectable large format photographs bring a disarming clarity to acts like prancing with seaweed.

Welcome To the JUNGLE!! OLB33 adding More BAD ASS MASS!!!!!
Welcome To the JUNGLE!! OLB33 adding More BAD ASS MASS!!!!!
They said it was impossible, They said " there's no way he can add more BAD ASS MASS!" Well screw the naysayers. ALRI has made it Possible Welcome to the Jungle! Enter at your Own risk, Leave the women and children at home, Its Time to party.
BAD ASS MASS 60 caps Pro-Anabolic Matrix -
Bad Ass Mass is designed to support serious mass gain through the most effective pro-anabolic pathways.1. Stimulate muscle ARs for enhanced protein synthesis and tissue repair.
2. Bind SHBG to increase levels of free testosterone.
3. Increase LH/FSH to maximize output of natural testosterone.
4. Increase glycogen retention and optimize internal hydration levels.
5. Support superior protein synthesis through modulation of transcription factors.
6. Inhibits excessive cortisol levels for an anti-catabolic effect.
7. Promote recovery of the neuromuscular matrix.
8. Provide superior results either in a synergistic stack or as a standalone supplement
Whats In It?
Naturally, our design was intended to have a synergistic effect in that one compounds actions amplifies the others. (I am sure some can think of comparisons to this important point of design)
The result is a synergistic Pro-hypertrophic from ALRI featuring an Herbal Proprietary Myotrophic Complex. (Get the name Jungle Warfare yet?)
Mormordica Chirantia ExtractWe use a specific dual extraction/standardization process that allows us to use both the insulinogenic and non-androgenic AR agonistic fractions unique to a proprietary mormordica chirantia extraction. By doing so, we can foster the hypertrophic event in lean tissue via the two most important mechanisms without the usual negative side effects.
ADED (5a-dehydro-etiocholane-1,4,6-trien-3-one-17-ol)
Many are aware of both the positive and negative physiological issues relating to the naturally occurring aromatase inhibitory ATD. Most of the benefits are the result of one of its physiological 17-OH metabolites. ADED is a natural non-androgenic metabolite of ATD with improved oral bio-availability. Please, do not confuse this with ATD itself as the difference is very important both in structure and action: Some may recall this one from our Ultra H.O.T.ter matrix but to recap By modulating estrogen build-up the negative feed-back look to the hypothalamus is put in check. The result is that the body optimizes natural testosterone production. We use our favorite aromatase inhibitor to do this and it works pretty well to modulate, instead of obliterate, estrogen. So we still have the right amount of estrogen for optimal growth of lean tissue and positive libido, without the excess water weight and fat feeding aspect.
Conjugated (-)3,4-divanillyl-tetrahydrofuran
We utilize an excellent free testosterone optimizing compound called Conjugated (-)3,4-divanillyl-tetrahydrofuran. This is simply the result of a series of extraction processes performed upon nettle root. Many know of this herb due the anti-aromatase capacity and the studies that show its positive affects upon BHP in men. Some of the nettle extracts also have a positive affect upon the total testosterone to free/active testosterone ratio. More free testosterone means more active (as in the part that really matters) testosterone. Nothing really trick here other than it just works better than one would expect. (Nice for a change when something can be simple and effective). Of course, it is all about effective delivery into the body that makes it an asset.
Proprietary Conjugated Coleonol Extract
Hypotrophic-type receptor health and integrity is paramount to lean tissue optimization. In reality modulation is surprisingly dependant upon cAMP stimulation. Without it, receptor activity down-regulation occurs rapidly and the lean mass promoting symbiotic relationship between hormones goes in the toilet. The ALRI Proprietary Conjugated Coleonol Extract supports this need rather well.
Put it all together and Jungle Warfare becomes the new generation in health and performance optimization.
I want to Thank ALR for allowing me to test this stack. I was lucky enough to try Mass fx Hyperdrol Before its release a few months back and Now I get to make a fair Unbiased opinion in comparison of the 2. Fortunately for me All the gains and size i picked up from the previous stack stayed with me which has me very eager to run this stack.
Brief Introduction
I need no intro , To eliminate boredom Ill get down to the point. 28 yrs old, Married with a kid.

Day 1
I woke up at 7am to take my first dose of BAM and JW I had 2 scoop of sustain and back to bed til 10.
10am 2 bowls of Bananna nut crunch glass of OJ with leucine
11 am 20 oz of water
12pm 1 serving of Hblocker and off to the gym
1230 Gym Time.
Music Today SLIPKNOT - Before I forget
Now Im accustomed to DC training for the last 1.5 yrs QUick explosive reps little rest and move on. I havent anything with this type of volume in awhile. Well Let me say this. My ass was kicked right off the bat.
Thoughts - It's cold Dark Rainy day, I was up late I drank but not alot. Just the opposite of what a day 1 should be, But ill get thru it
Incline DB - press 4 sets of 6 reps 95lb DB's Its so strange to rest 2-3 minutes. i recover so fast that it was kind of annoying but nice. After these 4 sets My typical routine would be another BP so when I went to flat bench I was just about tapped lol
Flat Bench - 255lbs 3 sets of 5 I knew this would be a struggle I was already pouring sweat and Im not acustom to this obviously .
High Cable Cross overs 70lbs 2 sets of 6
[COlor=red CLose Grip Decline 195lbs 3 sets of 6 reps[/color]
Straight Bar cable Press down 150lb stack plus a 25lb plate 2 sets of 6
Single Hand reverse grip pulldown 50lb 2 sets of 6
I was soaked, sweating like no other. pumped all over my body It was very liberating. Im gonna be sore as **** tomm. I finished off with 3 sets of incline sit ups for 12 reps and left.
After My last rep I ound down some Backer recovery formula ( TM) Waxy Maize Creatine Bcaa and CM precise ration as to not equal more then 30% total additions from here on out today It will be called Backer recovery drink .
I came home about 35 min later had 2 scoops of ALRI Lypolatic Whey with a table spoon of Honey and 1/2 cup of steel cut oats ( i finally found these yesterday I was so pumped)
I think during my workouts Im gonna add my xtend or a bcaa formula to drink .
Ive also taken my second dose of JW and Im about to eat some tuna
Tonight is Chicken breast Unless I feel like going out for steak - 01-02-2007, 04:59 PM
Ok so a wrench really got tossed into My gears today
I missed the gym because I had to go to North Carolina to perform a funeral today so looks like its wednes thru and fri 3 days straight
since I didnt notate yesterday
Current weight 224.2 body fat is showing 13.7% total body water 58.8% i pull all my measurements from My Tanita scale so take the bf and water for a grain of salt. if my water had been at 57% i woulda shower higer on b/f scale
ill update weight every 7 days - 01-02-2007, 10:01 PM
PERFORM a funeral?
are you a chaplain or something? i guess i never knew what you did in real life! LOL - 01-02-2007, 10:09 PM

I love doing these for some reason they hit my lats and add to a great pump

forearm wrist curls 35lb db 3 sets of 10
Reflections was the song that hit me good today - 01-03-2007, 01:32 PM
Today starts my 9th year of serious training. I was a new years resolution guy back in 1998. Along the way ive hit several bumps , made a million mistakes and learned alot. I was never very big. My biggest in highschool was 173lbs. But I graduated at 162lbs prob soaking wet.
My max bench My senior yr of HS was 205lbs i dont even think I had a max squat and i struggled curling 30lb dbs I knew nothing about training Just what my football coaches told me. I thought more was better and I didnt have the luxury of message boards or great tasting protein or top notch supps as we do today.
Back then protein was terrrible chalk that barely mixed in a blender, Creatine mono was so new everyone thought it was cancer causing. I would do 20 sets of chest work to never get bigger. I barely trained legs lots of dumb **** lol
it wasnt until 2000 time frame when i started playing semi pro football that i began to really get serious. Nutrition , supps, diet and training Ill never forget my first 225lb bench press I was now with the big boys lol, 315 was even a bigger milestone. same with squatting and deadlifting.
I couldnt wait to get to 190lbs. I thought 190 would be awesome. Then at 190 I thought 200lb is a great mark. to say your 200lbs makes u sound like a house lol. then ****i it 215 is good size for a free safety. **** that 225 is nice for a Strang safety. Hell 230 and outside backer that is where I want to be. things like 1-ad and andro's were a god send to skinny hard gainers like me
After losing 30lbs in basic training and starting over at 195 in 2004 my world was crushed. all that hard work and effort gone its been a long 3 years back but im right back to where i left off and I think ive finally reached my ideal size. How do I know? I cant find clothes to fit, food is more expensive since i eat more. and last I cant find any of my ****in favorite clothes to fit lol. I used to only rock Hollister clothes but after last weeks debacle of spending 4 hrs trying to use my 100.00 gift card only to find the pant are too tight in the quads and the biggest shirts look painted on i was sad yet happy
reflections. I reflected today - 01-03-2007, 01:50 PM
it is good to re-examine history!
btw, no resolutions for me! JUST GOALS!
Hope your 2007 is filled with lots of PRs and lots of time with the family!
Youare a good man, OLB! - 01-04-2007, 05:23 PM
Day: 4
I did not sleep very well last night, I have no idea why but i was very lethargic this morning. I only had a color posting to perform at 0900 so i was in the gym by 0930.
Just some thoughts early on. Im sore as a mother ****er. I mean no joke, i havent been this sore since I started lifting. My traps are fried as is My upper middle back. My tri's are experiencing some DOMS still.
Today was shoulders. Since this is a laggin BP I dedicated a day just for shoulders to help bring them up to par. I dunno why but they dont grow and dont strengthen worth a hell.
Also to note. I have a full long day tommarow on the road so leg day will be moved to saturday.
Ok on to the goods.
0630 Wake up 3 bowls of Bananna Nut crunch and a scoop of ALRI lypo protein. 1 JW 1 BAM
0700 20 oz of water. Man im still thirsty as hell today. Even during my workout and all day Ive been really putting back alot of water
0930 2 scoops of hblocker and 1 scoop of leucine and gymtime
0945 Gym time. Today is Shoulders
Music is Trust Company /aka amity Lane
BarBell Upright rows 95 x 6 105 x6 115 x6 115 x6
I havent done these in years, They hurt like a *****, joint pain not muscle when I go heavy
Seated Side lateral raises 25x6 30x6 35x6 35x6
I havent done these sitting down in a long while as well. I really enjoyed doing these
Seated Arnold Press 50x6 55x6 60x6
lol more new workouts for me I havent done arnold presses in years I absolutely loved doing these
Front Raises 25x6 30x6
no thoughts I do know I was pumped in my shoulders very nicely during these
I didnt do shrugs today as I had planned seeing as mMy traps are killing me today I didnt feel it was necessary
I did 15 minutes of Precor afterrwards just to pick off an addition 150 cals to help with the freakin pizza I ate last night. Im so pissed but its been a while and I had to eat some at the neighbors house
One thing to point out, Im gonna try to get a pic shortly, My Muscle fullness across my chest and bi's all day has been very pleasent. the veins that portrude out of my upper chest are very visable and it looks as if I just did pushups.
I feel very full prob from all the water but the veinyness is nice - 01-04-2007, 07:37 PM
lol you must not be married Young mace extra curricular activy and wife are like summer and school it doenst happen
I thought that was just MY wife! You mean they are ALL like that?
28, married for almost 2 years now! - 01-04-2007, 10:22 PM
Why do you think i convinced her to get pregnant? I figured that there would be aobut 3 or more months of "fun" well, wouldn't you know, she got pregnant RIGHT AWAY!
and then they dont put out at all. My wife got no hormonal sex feelings with Joey. Man it sucked 9 months of begging ( I mean 3 years of begging )
Standing Calf raises. 400x6 500x6 500x6
Now Its a bodymaster machine. I dunno how accurate the stack is but i know it was heavy.
By the time I was done with everything, I was dizzy sweaty and trembling so It really was like a good sexual experience . Funny story My legs were so pumped today that when i got home ( i was wearing shorts) My wife in a girly panic asked loudly " OMG what is wrong with your Knee Honey"? She was noting the muscle just above my knee was sticking out and almost over my knee lol. I laughed and just told her its the muscle and I had a good pump, and in typical girl fashion, " It looks gross" go figure
Im kind of irritated about my sleep. My last dose of JW and BAm are in the evening 12 hrs from 1st dose It may be interfering or it could just be ive been stressed out lately.
After the gym, I had my post workout drink then 25 min later 2 scoops of ALRI Protein, I Then went to Outback steak house to Eat steak and sweet potatoes and as Of right now Im like complete jello in my legs I can barely stand up.
The hunger Im feeling lately is wayy up i did have to get up at 5am to eat a cup of cottage cheese because my stomach was killing me. and I take 2 scoops of sustain in milk before bed time. I wont touch the scale til monday - 01-07-2007, 10:04 AM
Jello legs huh I like the part where wifey says "gross" Well hey the rest of us appreciate nice muscles so your good to go !
Day: 8
I slept a little better last night after taking my last dose of each earlier ( about 6pm) I had no work today just needed to report in at 0800 for role call.
This week starts rep range training, which means all the low reps high weight im used to is over. I havent used high reps in years. So now the catch 22 comes into play.....
The alpha male cocky attitude is begining to form, yet this training requires me to lower my weight substantially hit the rep range. which means Big ego but now I have to check it at the door
Last weeks weight 224.2 This weeks weight 226.4
Ok on to the goods.
0630 Wake up 2 packages of oatmeal with honey and a scoop of maca witha bananna and 16oz of sunny D orange juice. 1 JW 1 BAM
0730 20 oz of water. Lots of water still lots of pissing too
0830 2 scoops of H blocker with Leucine
0900 Training
Deftones Seven Words
Incline barbell 185x9 195 x9 205 x8 205x6
Man was i ****ed. I kept my rest in between 2-3 minutes. Im not used to high rep ranges so by the 3rd and 4th set my tri's were giving out and my chest was yellin at me. It kind of sucked because of the lower weight but im used to pushing 6 max on reps
Flat bench barbell 185x10 185x9 185x9
[center] With a pump begining to form in my chest i knew flat bench was gonna be laughable at best. Being used to push 275-285 for 4-6 reps struggling with 10-13 reps mentally pissed me off, but that is what this program is designed to do. at this point I could really tell my tri's were my weak link./center]
Upper Cable flies 45x15 45 x 15
I love the pump I get from these. so much so a girl i worked with told me I could prob fit her C cup lol. I havent felt a pump like this in ages. Again the high rep ranges were nice and exhausting but mentally i took a hit.
Triceps V-bar push down 150lb stack plus 25lb plate 4 sets of 8 repsRope push downs 100lbs x 10 reps 3 setsSIngle hand reverse grip pull downs 45x15 reps for 1 set that was it for me
My tri's really took a beating today. they were so full that at the end of my contraction I was barely able to force more blood in, it actually hurt pretty bad and is still pretty sore
After the gym I had 2 scoops of protein in water. and then 4 plain hamburgers from Micky D's
My weight is up 2.4 lbs But My body water is still pretty low (56% this morning) Its as if I cant drink enough. Today was really a reality check for me, endurance wise I suck, i always have. Im good for short bursts of energy or power but nothing long or drawn out. I struggle for the 1.5 mile timed test I do in the military but I can play a full football game with ease. Short burts are wher I have strived over the years. so increasing my reps for Endurance has me fighting. The pump was freakin insane. I dont take any cell volumizers, NO products or anything for that matter. Just h blocker. Im curious of a type of Pump id get in my chest after a day like today with a good quality pump product. Alpha male mentality is in full force. Its controllable But it has me feeling better after a few stressed out weeks. Below i attached some pics o after 1 week these pics are snapped 1 hr after the gym and ive circled the veins that stick out in my chest all day long, even on days without working out which is attributed to the fullness

From a restaurant window on a downtown corner, I recently viewed the following:
A large Jeep pulled up to the red light, followed by an SUV. I didn't see the first driver from my angle, but the SUV had a young woman who was texting something while waiting at the light. As the light changed, the Jeep began to move. It stopped abruptly because a late car from the cross street sailed through the intersection. Apparently cued only by peripheral vision, the woman in the SUV put her foot on the accelerator – without raising her head, while continuing to text. The SUV plowed into the back of the Jeep at a healthy speed, crumpling its own entire front end dramatically (but oddly, not doing any apparent damage to the Jeep, which had one of those large tires strapped to its back that I guess served as a buffer). Both vehicles pulled around the corner of the restaurant I was watching from, and I got to see the insurance information exchange. I found it interesting that the woman continued texting the instant the exchange was over and she had phoned for help.
Nominally, I suppose this was a moving accident but as its instigation happened when the SUV's driver was texting while motionless at a red light, I'm more sympathetic to the above article's cop's "unlawful communications" legal rationale than I might be otherwise. Although from the linked article and legality aside, the cop still sounds like a classic paper-dispensing jerk.
[O]ver-educating the population makes nearly everyone poor.
There is a hell of a lot more value in an educated populace than can be put in dollars, even if one accepts the zero-sum premise you are outlining here. For starters, an educated population is much more likely to be a functioning civic population; that is, one that keeps its government under scrutiny and actually fulfills its end of the social contract rather than allowing the mindless pulling of a lever every four years to serve as a substitute for real governed consent.
That said, the employment value of being "educated" is becoming increasingly meaningless in a future where traditional vocational jobs that haven't yet been outsourced are being systematically eradicated by automation and the potential for AI-type programming to squash still more traditional "educated" work is growing. Cf. recent article in Mother Jones for a depressing analysis of the logical employment outcomes advanced AI could bring.
Many people are unenthusiastic about their work.


text: A test for multiple universes finds four . . . maybeEsther Inglis-Arkell8/04/11 4:20pmFiled to: mad sciencemultiversePhysicsAstronomytweetFb71EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkMultiple universes are accessed, in fiction, through portals in space or mystical necklaces or sometimes just in dreams, but always when characters break the rules of space time. In reality, alternate universes are not in other dimensions. They're just far, far away. And the reason they are alternate universes is that they can't be reached no matter what. But can they be tested for?AdvertisementA work to be published in the Physical Review D posits a test, and some interesting conclusions, for multiverse theory. Multiple, or alternate, universes might, less excitingly, be called 'very far away places in this universe.' The universe is expanding, and has been since the Big Bang. As it expands, certain bubbles of it, also expanding, are pulled so far away so fast that their light can never reach this universe again. Essentially, they are parts of the universe that humans from this universe can never see, never feel any effects from, and never reach. They are, for all practical purposes, different universes that could be developing in entirely different ways.But they, as well as every other universe including this one, interact with the Cosmic Microwave Background, or CMB. They leave patterns on the cosmic microwave background, which physicists have worked out would look 'disc shaped.' There is already a greatly detailed survey of the CMB done by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. Scientists have had a computer check the CMB for the 'signature' of alternate universes, and have found four.AdvertisementOr have they? The scientists have found the signatures of alternate universe 'bubbles' in areas where the multiverse theory is more likely than any other to explain why the Cosmic Microwave Background looks the way it does in that area, but when looking at the entire universe, four patches of weirdness does not a multiverse make. Even the scientist in charge of the team checking for the multiverse, Dr. Hiranya Peiris, openly states that the current data isn't enough. Still, it might be fun to think what's out there.

nintendo has little to do with updates in that game the developers do & they can add modes & maybe maps
New maps very likely aren't coming due to the wii's memory restrictions..and DLC maps have never been done on the console before. I doubt a third party will be the first one to open that possibility. Modern warfare: reflex likely won't be changing at all for as long as it's out. Either way, DLC costs money. Bug-fixing patches and minor features (like killcam) MIGHT come along, being that World at War suddenly gained new game modes out of the blue while it was out, but don't count on it.

Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai (review)
Final impression – prone to hyperbole, but respectably expressive (8/10)
Autumn 2010 (12 episodes + 3 OVAs) (title literal translation – My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute)
Kyousuke Kousaka finds an anime DVD case lying around the house one day and is surprised to find an h-game disc inside. Nobody in his family matches the image of the sort of person who would own this item. Intent on discovering its owner, Kousaka brings up the topic of anime during dinner where his parents firmly rebuke the idea of anyone in their household watching anime. But this elicits a very different reaction from his little sister Kirino whose shocked expression is enough to set off alarm bells for his suspicions. Later that night, she confronts him and reveals her secret that she's a closet otaku (and a pretty hardcore one at that). Surprised at this frank honesty, Kousaka doesn't try to belittle his sister for her unusual tastes. Instead, he begins to encourage her to be more honest and to pursue a happiness she had been unable to attain by hiding her true self.
Ore no Imouto tries to be a social discourse about the acceptance of otaku in today's culture, but ultimately does a poor job by representing otaku as their stereotypes rather than real people. Not all otaku play h-games. Not all otaku cosplay on a daily basis in full view of the general public. Not all otaku dress like creepy shut-ins who fear light and fresh air. It probably wouldn't have made for a good story, but most people who watch anime are not as passionate as Kirino, Kuroneko or Saori. The fact that Oreimo depicts otaku coming from a variety of very unassuming backgrounds (including fashion models, ordinary high school students and upper-class) does do some good in legitimizing the culture and showing that it's not limited to just one particular unsocial group. What's most telling about this anime is not the kinds of people otaku might be, but how the self-loathing of some can lead to the idea that it's impossible for friends and loved ones to accept them for who they really are. But none of this should be taken to mean that Oreimo is a failure—far from it. It may have a few issues, but it's funny, ironic and deals with the problems that some otaku face when their hobby is discovered by people they didn't want finding out.

Chinese debate morality of stealing toilet paper

mentioned only in Judg. 3:31, the weapon with which Shamgar (q.v.) slew six hundred Philistines. "The ploughman still carries his goad, a weapon apparently more fitted for the hand of the soldier than the peaceful husbandman. The one I saw was of the 'oak of Bashan,' and measured upwards of ten feet in length. At one end was an iron spear, and at the other a piece of the same metal flattened. One can well understand how a warrior might use such a weapon with effect in the battle-field" (Porter's Syria, etc.). (See GOAD.)
A creaking wagon drawn by six oxen and commanded by a bearded man carrying an ox goad came in and stopped.
And after him was Shamgar, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
Had he not worked by Shamgar alone, when with his ox goad he slew six hundred Philistines?

Need Opinions
So after getting a P1411 code on Monday and discovering that a mouse had been under the engine cover, we decided to pull off the intake as well. Long story short although the mouse was under the intake too, none of the wires were chewed on the MDS solenoids. As a per caution we decided to replace the #1 cylinder MDS solenoid and then put everything back together. Started the motor and it seems like the lifter on the #1 cylinder isn't working. We let it run for a few minutes and then it went away. Later in the day we restarted the truck and the miss is back and it has a pretty good tap. So this is an intermittent problem.
My question is do you think I could have a bad lifter? How could it work and then not work? Thats the part I don't understand. BTW since we put the intake and the new solenoid in I'm not getting any codes. |
Re: Need Opinions
Did you change the oil yet? It HAS to be 5w20 or thinner. any thicker goops up the mds :thumbsup:

The programmable timer allows you to set start times so that meals are cooked in keeping with your busy schedule. In the main oven, catalytic liners absorb grease and other cooking mess, oxidising it at high temperatures so that you can easily wipe down the appliance and keep it clean without hassle. The second oven features easy-clean enamel that can similarly be wiped down in very little time. The stainless steel and chrome Rangemaster Platinum 100 Electric Induction Range Cooker has everything you need for pro-grade cooking in your own home.

WESTERLY – Westerly Hospital voluntarily filed for receivership on Dec. 7 in R.I. District Court, another sign of the financial fragility of community hospitals in Rhode Island. The court is expected to appoint a special master to work with the hospital to restructure its debt and address its financial issues.
Patient care will be unaffected by the receivership, according to Nick Stahl, the hospital spokesman. Under court protection, salaries, wages and benefits will be paid as normal, and the hospital will continue to meets its obligations to its affiliated physicians. Hospital services and hours will be unchanged.
"We have taken this action because we believe it is the best way to strengthen Westerly Hospital and ensure that it continues as a key part of our community long into the future," said William G. McKendree, chairman of the hospital's board of trustees. Noting that the hospital has served Washington and New London counties for nearly 90 years, McKendree predicted that when the hospital emerges from receivership, it will be a strong institution, better positioned to the serve the community over the long term.
How long the hospital will remain is an unknown factor. It took Landmark Medical Center almost three years – from June 2008 until May 2011 – to find a court-approved buyer, for-profit chain Steward Health Care. And, while the proposed purchase is currently under state review, the hospital still remains under the direction of a special master.
Westerly Hospital officials said that they hoped the amount of time in receivership would be less than in Landmark's case.
"Westerly Hospital has endured years of financial strain as a result of a variety of factors, including being among the lowest reimbursed hospitals in Rhode Island, unfairly high state licensing fees, and the sustained economic headwinds of the past few years," said Westerly Hospital President and CEO Charles S. Kinney. Many of these issues are either exacerbated by or a direct result of our being an independent community hospital, Kinney continued, saying that the hospital was looking at a wide range of options, including the previously announced exploration of a potential partnership with L&M Hospital in New London, Conn.
"Today's filing moves us closer to a long-term solution that will ensure that Westerly Hospital remains a vital and enduring part of this community," Kinney said.

Mass Unemployment: An Epidemic of 'Social Murder'
Unemployment quite literally kills.
Fifteen million people out of work represents an epidemic of what 19th century philosopher Friedrich Engels called "social murder."
"They [layoffs] are the opposite of life-giving; they literally deplete life," declared Kim Carmon, an organizational psychologist at the University of Michigan, in a powerful distillation of what unemployed workers go through.
"Layoffs diminish the ability to restart," Carmon told Louis Uchitelle for his moving and insightful book, The Disposable American: Layoffs and Their Consequences.
Precisely at the moment that suddenly idle working people need to muster all of their resources to find new work in an environment with few opportunities, they tend to feel their self-esteem ebbing away.
Even the strong support of loved ones is often unable to restore the resilience of someone who suffers the loss of a job.
"You can have all kinds of people like spouses and friends say you are terrific, you are wonderful, you are great, but in the core you say, I am not, and I have big evidence that I am not," Prof. Carmon said.
A new study of 1,200 laid-off workers by Rutgers University researchers Carl Van Horn and Cliff Surkin produced a distressing picture of this traumatic psychological toll:
Two-thirds of respondents said that they had become depressed. More than half said it was the first time they had ever lost a job, and 80 percent said there was little or no chance that they would be able to get their jobs back when the economy improves.
The 1,200 respondents were jobless at some point over the past year, and most — 894 — are still unemployed. More than half said that they had been forced to borrow money from friends or relatives, and a quarter have missed their mortgage or rent payments.
While we have heard pundits talk endlessly about the strong safety net that jobless workers of this generation now have that their predecessors lacked during the Great Depression, fully 56% of the jobless studied by Van Horn and Zukin lacked unemployment compensation.
The impact of being jobless takes many forms. The severity of the current recession and the limited prospects for finding ego-restoring work leads 52% to avoid contact with family and friends, even though they are badly in need of human contact and support.
The new jobless feel deflated by their new status. As one unemployed worker put it, "I've always worked, so this is very depressing. At age 60, I never believed I would be unemployed unless I chose to be."
Said another: "I fear for my family and my future. We are about to be evicted, and bills are piling. We have sold everything we possibly can to maintain, and are going under with little hope of anything."
"This is not your ordinary dip in the business cycle," Van Horn said. "Americans believe that this is the Katrina of recessions. Folks are on their rooftops without a boat."
And as with Katrina, the outcome of this desperation is devastating and drives people to perversely turn on the very people who love them. Thus, family violence increases sharply, as Prof. Peter Dreier of Occidental College explains:
A 2004 study by the National Institute of Justice found that the rate of violence against women increases as male unemployment increases. When a woman's male partner is employed, the rate of violence is 4.7%. It is 7.5% when the male partner experiences one period of unemployment. It increases to 12.3% when the male experiences two or more periods of unemployment.
Sociologist and public-health specialist Dr. Harvey Brenner has been studying the relationship between unemployment and social outcomes. Dr. Brenner has found that there is a direct and predictable connection between rising unemployment and a set of tragic consequences.
According to Brenner, each 1% rise in unemployment sustained over six years results in an additional 47,000 deaths, and:
- About 26,000 of these deaths will come from heart attacks,
- Approximately 1,200 jobless workers will commit suicide;
- Roughly 831 will commit murders;
- At least 4,000 state mental hospital admissions;
- Over 3,300 state prison admissions;
- And there will be about 635 deaths related to alcohol consumption.
Further, it is "likely that permanent layoffs [from plant closings and other long-term job eliminations] caused even more social trauma than unemployment arising from other causes," reported Barry Bluestone and Bennett Harrison in their 1982 book The Deindustrialization of America, which is rapidly regaining relevance as Corporate America shuts down more and more of the nation' productive capacity.
Bluestone and Harrison cited one study of a group of displaced workers found a suicide rate "30 times the expected number."
With the US economy so heavily dependent on consumer spending—because we make a decreasing amount of what we can buy—we can't have a full recovery without average households recovering.
The investment banks may be starting to roll in money again and are even speculating on life insurance policies, but ordinary families are still eking through each month's mortgage and car payments.
Meanwhile, the reports of improved economic indicators are clouded by talk of a "jobless recovery." Today's news—that new claims for unemployment fell 12,000 last week, to 545,000—is hardly much of a good sign. The total number of Americans on unemployment continues to rise.
Without a a much stronger stimulus that restores jobs and decent wages, the "social murder" of the unemployed will continue.

For many of us, life becomes a blur. Rapidly advancing technology catches us in a whirlwind, demanding that we "do more", "achieve more" and "be more". While trying to control our lives, our lives become uncontrollable. When we stop and reflect, we often realize that there must be something more to life's mystery. We hear a calling to explore deep within, to gain knowledge of one's self, and the desire to simply experience "being." For those who have reached this pinnacle, you have already begun life's journey toward the discovery of Zen.
What is Zen? Derived from the Japanese word meaning "meditation", Zen has been globalized over the centuries. The Japanese took Zen from the Chinese word -"chan", which ultimately came from the Sanskrit word "dyana." Defining Zen proves difficult. Zen is an experience. It embodies a state of being, living in the moment, living as life around you, the practice of present mindfulness, and seeing things as they are. At its heart, Zen is the practice of developing discipline of the mind through awareness.
Mindfulness may be achieved through meditation, walking, yoga, martial arts, Tai Chi, or finding an activity that is comfortable for you. Zen teaches that everything in the universe is connected and rooted in the whole, and greater than the sum of any one part. The journey of Zen is discovering that everything fits together into one divine, perfect whole.
To find Zen is to become intimate with the inner-self. One must become still – quieting the body and the mind – Not an easy task! Meditation is a wonderful tool to find the calm within you. Putting your thoughts and nagging doubts away can be achieved through practiced repetition of focused breathing or through the use of mantras.
Zazen or Zen practice is "sitting meditation." It requires dedicated concentration on the breath. The act of feeling and hearing each breath allows you to let go of the dwelling thoughts within you, and to be in the moment of your body – simply "letting it be".
We all have Zen within us. To rediscover the treasure of experiencing life in the moment opens the heart to an inner awareness that everything in life is possible. Through practice, we can break the cycle of conditioning that leaves us feeling overwhelmed or unhappy with life's daily challenges. Being able to let go of the day's stresses and to have the solitary awareness of life within us and around us is the essence of Zen.

The freaks were out last night. 10 of us were hired to dance on stage at the Brit Awards after show party during Matthew Stone's set. The-O, Chycca and Scotte all had outfit changes which was great fun to witness in our dressing room. Scottee's makeup box was a picnic hamper! The lashings of red glitter was echoed in the jewell encrusted scarlet telephone box in the party. The lit dancefloor was a flashing chess board and the rest of the venue was decorated with graffitti covered caravans.

Fri 15th Feb: G&T on Saville Row
K A B I R invited me to the preview of Katie Hillier's collaboration on accessories for Saville Row tailor Norton & Sons. Held in the eclectically decorated store complete with 2 gigantic taxidermy Gazelle heads on the walls. Here is a snapshot of NOKI and Lulu Kennedy of Fashion East wearing Louise Gray that we have submitted to the blog on hintmag.com.
Fri 15th Feb: Nuts in May
Andy Hillman's set for Peter Jensens runway show at Conway Hall inspired by Mike Leigh's film "Nuts in May". Here is Maki Lou Lou hiding in one of the tents that she and Hanna Wood made along with a gigantic night sky backdrop. These are 2 of my favourite looks of the show: a rainbow jumper and a silver skirt that looked like it may have been made from foil survival blankets. The models dissapeared off stage by ducking and going through the left tent. Peter made his curtain call by cheekily darting out of the other tent, bouncing up and down, and then scurrying back inside.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. (September 30, 2006) - The Lady Bucs swept past their second straight conference opponent Saturday afternoon, defeating Campbell 30-20, 30-25, 30-22 in Carter Gymnasium. ETSU has now won four consecutive matches, and seven of its last eight overall.
The Lady Bucs (13-5, 2-0) dominated the entirety of the match, scoring the first three points in all three games, and never trailing once on the day.
ETSU scored five of the first six points in the opening frame and never looked back, serving four aces and putting down 16 kills en route to the 10-point win. Senior Jennifer Sartor (Toronto, Ontario) had a monstrous game one, hammering 10 of her match-high 16 kills.
The Lady Bucs continued the onslaught in game two, serving out four more aces and collecting 17 kills. Sartor led a much more balanced attack in the second stanza, tying with junior Callie Kiselich (Colorado, Springs, Colo.) on a game-high four kills. Seniors Jennifer Emerson (Tracy, Calif.) and Crystal Palmer (Chico, Calif.) contributed three apiece and senior Sarah Buhr (Stockton, Calif.) added two of her own.
A dominant game three concluded the match, as the Lady Bucs hit .333 as a team, compiling 15 more kills against just five errors. Buhr led the even ETSU attack in the finale, amassing four more kills, closely followed by Kiselich and Palmer with three each.
Emerson once again directed the potent Lady Buc attack, distributing a match-high 35 assists. Junior Kaena Apana (Waianae, Hawaii) continued her stellar defensive play, digging out 18 balls for the match.
ETSU returns home Tuesday, October 3 with a non-conference match-up against Chattanooga in Brooks Gym. Match time is set for 7 p.m.
