now i know we are into the new year.
any predictions for tomorrow or for the year.
Reed on a kawi...
bubba...
villopoto, dungey i think we might have some real racing this year.
and dont leave j. law out of it, the kid might be out of shape right now but from the interview i saw he looks focused and like he learned his lesson the hard way.

im still waiting to see the pro circuit line up for east/west lites.
http://motocross.transworld.net/news/catching-up-withjason-lawrence-part-2/

pretty good interview, hope this kid doesnt waste his second chance.
http://inside.nike.com/blogs/nke6-en_US/2010/01/07/ryan-dungey-talks-nike-airmx

check those bad boys out^^^
SX, its pretty much Stewart's race and title to lose. maybe not racing the outdoors will play a factor. IDK. If not Stewart then Reed or RV, but don't count out guys like K-Dub, Grant and Tedesco. After those dudes, its a cluster f of guys who could get lucky (Langston, Dungey, Byrne, etc..) Yeah, J-Law could be the dark horse, but that guy is a head case.

In the lites, I think the favorite is Canard, but who knows. I have a feeling that Lil Hanny will make his comeback and win it. Dude is on a Mitch Payton bike and he always seems to get the most out of his riders.

SX title prediction: Stewart gets hurt and is done or too far behind in points. Title is decided in Vegas and RV gets it done over Reed.

SX lites prediction: Canard wins west/ Pourcel wins East. Pourcel wins Vegas.
reed is gonna loose, and complain about something after every first looser finish (2nd place, again) and stewert will dominatate....o, and go trey!! hanson really? fast as heck but the kid loves to party but is smart enough to call a cab at least unlike j-law  hours awate!
Thats a good point rehab, but I think its pretty much Hanson's last shot. How many careers has PC Kawi helped resurrect? a lot.
Should be interesting... But I think Stewart will win the opening round, as well as the SX championship.

By the way, I saw a related thread for free Fantasy SX. If you're interested, check out: ProMotoFan
Assuming no injuries, same results as last year. Should be some good racing! Really looking forward to the season. See you guys at A1.
looking forward to it. i dont see anyone dethroning stewart anytime soon.. i think the fight for 3rd place will be the most interesting. villapoto will have his hands full with dungey windam and josh hill.
reed is just an donkey.
jj, i think your lites prediction is right on the money.

i hope langston does good, just stoked he's racing again after all he has been through

alan, "reed is just an donkey."
I want to see how the ex prisoner does this season...hopefully he'll grow up.
Watch out for the stashed prison shanks! Serious waste of talent in J-Law... I wish he would grow up.
i just fond out grant got busted up this week at practice, head injury, bust nose. they said he road practice today and still has not decided to ride tonight.
WOW, GO dungey, that kid is gonna make his mark fo sho!!!!!! what a race. bubba just sat back and cruised and tired dungey out and bamm made his move. i think you will se more of that from him. ride smarter, save energy and win. great start to the season. reed now knows how bubba did this time last year. and what about "the old man" lol that was great. i hope he keeps it up.
Now that reed went out it will be the bubba show. Maybe the lights will still be fun to watch.
i knew reed was gonna cry about something...just not that soon! j law, making a west coast 450 main after only riding 6 times out of jail...may not be the smartest kid but hes gonna be gettin some tail when he tells that story!
even when he wasnt spending time in jail jlaw lacked cardio. last year we he was leading a race and could have prolly won it if he didnt tank(admittedly so after the race). i like him tho because hes pretty entertaining.

villapoto was a disappointment i would have expected him to be a little faster and give dungey a run for his money. i think if poto would have been in the mix bubba would have checked out earlier to avoid an traffic problems.

i was expecting canard to be a little closer to jake w. he seemed pretty content with 2nd place. i liked carmichaels reaction when he was pumping his fist about coming in 2nd.

how about that crash!! holy cow i think they are still picking up parts from reardon's bike up in the stands.

and the crash with grant this week was pretty gnarly hes gonna be tasting dirt in his mouth for a month.

i hope chads bike blows up in phoenix.
so i didnt even notice last night but, did izzy ride. i remember back in the summer reading he wanted to race the 2010 sx season. i know he had major surgery on his foot.
I just watched it...had to record it. That was exciting! I was really hoping to see Dungey pass up stewart.

What happen to Jlaw in the main? just got tired and quit?

I would rather see Carmichael racing than commentating...
eastcoast lites for izzi.
yah duh, i spaced out on that, lol. thanks alan. hope he does well.
No comments on that National Anthem? AWFUL! It sounded like ass.

Racing was great. Glad it is back! Dungey was solid.
Yeah, the national anthem did suck! It even sounded worse in person than it did when I watched it on tivo today.

Dungy rode a great ride for his 450 debut. I think he'll be more of a challenge to Stewart than Reed. Dungys way faster than Reed which will hopefully make for some intense showdowns in the future.

Next stop is Phoenix and I can't wait!
phoenix was a weird race. if hansen could ever keep 2 wheels on the ground he would add some interest in the lits class. but i thought blake h. looked good. trey c. what the heck is going on with him? i guess the sand isnt his thing.

im glad reed dnf. looks like he may have broken his hand. i hope so. dude should just drive his rally car at his house in florida. bubba had a good ride all things considered. there were some fireworks in the pits after the race i bet that was interesting to see.

im super stoked to see josh hill on the box. he looked strong in the heat race. villapoto looked 100x better in this race than the first. i thought he was going to actually be able to pass dungey and win like he did so many times in the lites class.
im stil confused what exactly went down with reed. after he took out bubba and tryed to shove him in his head he got up bubba layed there and it went to commercial. next thing i know he is dnf.
Rumor is that the Reed broke his hand somehow.. and then I guess in the pits, stewart went over to Reeds area and kicked his bike off the stand?? Just rumors I have read..
YES!!!! i love it. i hope video of that pops up somewhere.
did Stewart really do that?
here is what i got from transworldmotocross.com looks like it was pretty interesting.

if you happened to catch the racing on SPEED yesterday, you no doubt saw the much talked about collision between Stewart and Reedafter all, it was replayed nearly 100 times. Only a few laps into the main event, both riders were buried back in the pack and attempting to climb back towards the front. When Reed tried to cut underneath James who at the same time was squaring off the corner, the two riders came together, crashing on top of one another in the turn. Reeds hand was pinned under Stewart, and as the two riders were getting up, Reed pushed at Stewart to free his hand. In the end, James remounted in tremendous pain to finish the race 15th while Chad returned to the pits to get his broken hand checked out.
Following the race, according to reports from Kawasaki, Stewart stormed over to the Monster Energy Kawasaki pits to have a few words with Reed, but when no one was aroundthe team was at the medic truck getting Chads hand looked atStewart pushed Reeds bike over. In the hours that followed, Stewarts team made an official protest against Reeds on-track actions. At first, Reed was given a penalty of a $5,000 fine and one race suspension, but upon appeal and review of the tapes, the penalty was lifted and Reed was only given a warning. All told, the entire situation wasnt resolved until roughly 4:00 in the morning. There is no word yet on how long Reed will be out due to his broken hand, however, the report is that it might need surgery. As for Stewart, his 15th-place finish speaks for the amount of pain he must have been in during the race. No statement yet on his injuries, if any.
whats weird is that transworld stated "reed pushed stewart to free his hand". seems a little biased towards the reed camp bit i dunno. why would he push him in the back of the head. i definitely think he should have been suspended. im guessing that his status kept him from being suspended. ama needs him to ride for the ratings. had that been jlaw he would have been suspended(jlaw had mono thats why he didnt ride as a side note).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhrYVMLDzBE

To me it doesn't look like he needed his other hand to free it up. Looks like he was half way there when he pushed his helmet. Besides, it looks like his hand was under James' body, so why would pushing his helmet help?
From what I saw, Reed wouldn't have even gone down if it wasn't for the fact that something on Stewart's right arm got locked to something on Reed's left arm and that's what pulled Reed off his bike. From the first angle, it looks like Stewart actually pulled Reed off his bike, but from the second angle it looks like their elbow or shoulder pads (whatever you call those things) got locked together and dragged Reed off his bike.

That resulted in Reed's arm being stuck underneath Stewart and it looked like a perfectly reasonable reaction for Reed to lift Stewart's body, by pushing up on his helmet, to free his arm underneath him. This would make even more sense if the hand stuck underneath Stewart is the one that he broke because it would be very painful to pull a broken hand out from under something heavy.

That being said, I'm curious as to what the rules are for coming into a turn like that. Seems like no matter what, Reed went in recklessly and was bound to hit somebody. Seems that Stewart was just doing a legit turn. I'm don't know crap about this stuff, so I'd be interested to hear what you guys with more experience thing.
At first glance it didn't look like Reed took out Stewart intentionally but if you take a second or third look you have to ask why Reed took the turn like that. He had no line and that's not the way you see any of those guys making a pass. You can undercut someone but to go in on the brakes just seemed kind of odd.

2 riders with no history and you might not think anything of it but with the history with these 2 have it has to make you wonder. I think riders history with each other has everything to do with the decision the AMA makes.

Reed had a considerably better pick than Stewart who got in via the LCQ so why were they even in the same grouping? Speed.

That being said, Reed doesn't have the speed to win a championship without the current riders going down. Stewart, Villapoto, Dungy are all considerably faster than he is. I think his motto is slow and steady wins the race but that doesn't work when you have so many fast riders.
Dave, I don't know there is a rule for coming recklessly into turns. There may be...I just never heard of it. To me you have clean passes and passes that are not clean. That's what makes MX so fun to watch.
well i dont have a ton of experience but it looks to me like bubba was just in a chain reaction. millsaps stood up brayton in the turn and this caused brayton to square his turn and then bubba reacted to that by squaring his turn even more and reed took an inside line in the turn probably wanting to stand bubba up too but stewart was already on the gas exiting the the turn. you can see him come off the gas just before the crash. i think its just a racing incident. chad was the only guy to take that turn low. and i like dirt dog why did he take the turn low when no one else did, maybe he was going to try to take stewart out he tried to in las vegas last year. im not the biggest bubba fan but i cant stand reed and glad his hand is broken. initially he was suspended one race and fined 5k but i think the ama decided against that in the end. i havent heard anything about bubba being fined for dumping reeds bike over.
IT was All CLEAN Millsaps block passed Brayton. It Stoped Brayton making Bubba Change his line. Reed was gonna block pass Bubba. When Bubba changed line Reed locked up his brakes. They came together its racing. Stuff happens get over it Bubba any time something happens to Bubba he throws a fit. How Can they warn Reed when Bubba went and knocked reeds bike over. Cant stand Stewart his a baby and his cocky Dont care for Reed. All i can say is go Dungey!!!!! and go Morais
Yeah...I think Bubba and Reed are a couple of primadonnas out there.

I'm routing for Dungey this year. He's a good kid who wants to win races and not to mention no one really expected him to be riding as fast as he is.
at this point in the season im predicting bubba will win, villapoto second and dungey 3rd. villapoto gained alot of ground and confidence in that last race and he will be faster than in a race or two imo. but neither of them are even close to stewarts speed.

<!-quote-!>quote:

I think Stewarts anger is caused by Reed shoving Stewarts head/helmet after the crash... Which I think was completely unnecessary. You said it yourself, they came together... it's racing. So they tangled up and went down... Is that justification for Reed to do what he did? I don't think so. Reed shouldve brought it up outside of the race, in the pits... Just like Stewart tried to do.
I Watched it again last night when he pushed him off it wasnt like he pushed hard he push him off so he can get up his helmet was the closest thing i dont think he did it like mad.no matter What Stewarts a professional athlete have some class be the bigger man dont go push his bike over. for his team to fill a suit on Reed when there guy last year to Reed out on purpose.Either Way Its bad for the sport.
"for his team to fill a suit on Reed when there guy last year to Reed out on purpose.Either Way Its bad for the sport."

OOPPS

 For his team to file a suit on Reed, when their guy took Reed out on purpose last year. Either way it is bad for racing
I think there should be an official 2010 supercross thread.

Dungey has been working really hard for the 450 races. His training started mid-season last year while he was dominating in the lites, and so far, he's been on his game. My good friend knows Ryan Dungey personally, and is always getting insider info via texts. It's really exciting to see someone you know do so well on the national stage.

Reed has been having a rough start since switching to Kawi, but has potential to be a competitor this season. I think the ear piercings are bad luck...
wes, you took the words out of my mouth, lol.

hey dave can you change the name of my thread to 2010 supercross or something?

the way i see it, bubba is sitting in a way better position than he was last year.

09 = dnf, 1st..........champ
10 = 1st, 15th =7th in points right now......?

seriously though im pulling for dungey. and where was j. law in pheniox? did he not show up or did he just not qualify for the night show? after all the hype i'd like to see something from out of him.
bryan, jlaw had mono. no word on when he is gonna return. he'll be so weak that when he does it wont matter.
J Law didn't race in Phoenix because he had mono.
I was hoping to see J-Law do something as well, I wanted to see him turn things around. With being in jail forever and now mono I don't think we'll see much out of him this season.

Wasn't Alessi supposed to be in SX this year?
Alessi is sitting out the SX season to focus on the outdoors this year. I think it fits his style of racing better so it might be a good idea.
"chad was the only guy to take that turn low. and i like dirt dog why did he take the turn low when no one else did, maybe he was going to try to take stewart out he tried to in las vegas last year. im not the biggest bubba fan but i cant stand reed and glad his hand is broken."

first off u don't make passes following people on a sx track last time I checked...second it's pretty clear that bubba apexed (sp?) the turn rather than railed all the way around the outside of it (he did get held up which probably is why he didn't rail all the way around it)...everyone has a view on it but personally it looks as if Chad attempted to get on the binders hard and not take js7 out. Dave u r right I think the handlebars caught reeds hand/ arm and ultimately probably broke it as well.

Reed may whine or make excuses, like blowing the chisolm thing way up last season but at the end of the day, he alike many others, has done a ton to entertain us and help grow our sport both here in the US and back home in Austrailia. Being hurt so many times myself I can't understand how someone could be pumped Reeds hand is broken...oh well and whoever said dungey and potto are considerably faster than reed is high lol championships, race wins, and laptimes should be enough to prove that....

Heading to A2 this weekend...wonder if jlaw really has mono or truly couldn't leave the state of Ca due to parole conditions...that's just what the inside scoop around the test tracks have been this week...if he races a2 I'd imagine it's the later of the two lol

<!-quote-!>quote:
and whoever said dungey and potto are considerably faster than reed is high lol championships, race wins, and laptimes should be enough to prove that....<!-/quote-!>

Lol, maybe you're high?

A1 lap times:
Dungey: 56.26 - 2nd fastest
Villopoto: 57.56 - 5th fastest
Reed: n/a

Phoenix lap times:
Dungey: 53.80 - fastest lap
Villopoto: 53.83 - 2nd fastest
Reed: 55.43 - 19th!?!

Maybe they got lucky???

Championships come and go... And they don't have much to do with the following seasons, minus the number plate.
good point about jlaw's probation(parole is a different thing entirely). he seems to be fairly candid and i think he would have just said if he was was going to have to run a limited schedule dont you? heck he was tormenting dungey all season long last year and using his podium time to do so.

i dont think reed tried to take anyone out. and youre right you dont pass ppl by following them but you have to choose your pass line a little more carefully.

imo reed made a poor choice of line for that turn with all of the traffic that was there at the time. bubba made a poor decision by jumping from lft to right on that triple and subsequently got landed on by kyle partridge. this difference was the aftermath. bubba didnt go up to kyle and push him in the head or act disrespectful in any way but chad did, even when it was potentially his fault. thats my issue with chad. and if he's not racing due to a broken hand, busted spokes or any other reason then im all for it. he's never come off as a very personable guy and im not the only one that shares that opinion. i dont know how that can be good for mx. i think that stewart has been pretty tolerant of reeds antics, for more tolerant than most of us be given the entirety of the circumstances.

anyway have fun at A2. i was there for A3 and puked all night afterwards.

Good post Alan, I agree 100%.
Reed is out for 6 weeks

LA Times
Two-time supercross champion Chad Reed will miss at least six weeks of this year's season -- including two races at Anaheim Stadium -- after undergoing surgery to repair his broken left hand, his Kawasaki team said today.

Reed, 27, injured his hand after an accident with archrival James Stewart during the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series race Saturday night at Chase Field in Phoenix. Supercross is the stadium version of motocross, or off-road motorcycle racing.

"His surgery went really well," team manager Mike Fisher said in a statement. "We want him to be 100% when he returns. This will be the first time Chad has ever missed a supercross."

Reed and Stewart, the reigning series champion, have been the top two supercross riders in recent years. Stewart won the opening race this season, in Anaheim, on Jan. 9 and rookie Ryan Dungey won the second race in Phoenix.

The series races at Anaheim Stadium this Saturday night and again Feb. 13. Reed's team said it was "exploring its options" for using a temporary replacement rider for Reed.
http://motocross.transworld.net/videos/james-stewart-speaks/

James talks about what happen in the heat race and main event.

Warning he says the word LIKE 40,000 times!
Reed did shove him but we still don't And never will know if it was out of pain (broken hand being stuck under James) or out of anger.... Reed has done and said some whinny and disrespectful things in his career but so has everyone else minus rc lol that guy was pretty close to perfect...I'm really nit that big of a reed fan I just am bench racing.... I can't comment about it being a bad line for reed I always seem to go outside and get passed in some of my races but if reed saw three dudes getting stood up high in the turn then probably not a bad idea to try to go low and again I think that's where James coming down early and reed coming in too hot just didn't work... And Blake reed dnfd the first and second race so u got no ammo on your lap times comparison there bud...i tried to find practice times from both weekends but couldn't...potto had nothing for reed in sx last year (granted it was his rookie year but he hasn't got that much faster) and for the amount of laps u have seen these three guys go together in a main im just saying peeps are bold to say 2 and 5 are way faster than 22 that's all
When was this race on TV? My DVR recorded the lites on Speed but didn't get the big bikes? Was this on CBS? I am pissed I missed it!
Rob, did you watch it yet? I thought when I recorded it was only lights as well, but watched it and it was the big bikes
F---, I saw two lites recorded and deleted one. i bet that was the big bikes. Hopefully, I can catch it again. I am not much in to the lites class this year. Is there a way to "undelete" something on a Direct TV DVR?
I saw that and recorded both. I think the second one was the big bikes.
Yeah...I recorded them both...not knowing "lites" would be the big bikes

reed: "And then the fact that the AMA reacted the way they did is really disappointing, and really quite embarrassing to be a part of it. I have no respect for their decision, and I think Ricky Carmichael summed it up best in 2006, that he was ready to walk away [after losing points due to a fuel violation]. After what happened on the weekend, it makes me count the days months, really, because I have a two-year deal. Ill be here for two years, and then Ill be quite happy to walk away from that pathetic governing body.

But ultimately it did get overturned. Cooler heads prevailed. That doesnt make it all right, but at least youre not stuck with the penalty...
Yeah, but when you look at the reality of what really happened, and you judge it for what really happened and nothing else, and you dont have any personal involvement, I think thats what the head guy is supposed to do at the AMA. I think the head guy at the AMA acted inappropriately and judged based on a previous situation, and I think he judged the whole situation by who it was and who it involved. If it hadnt have been James or I, it wouldve never been mentioned, but because it was James and I, and it was going to be on TV, and the people jumped up and down and screamed and yelled, then thats why it got treated that way. Im just so stunned and blown away with the fact that they could potentially give me a season-ending penalty, along with a $5000 fine, for something that anybody naturally would do with a broken hand, and a bike, and somebody lying on it. Your immediate reaction is to move them off. If it had been a motorcycle on me, and I was getting burned, what do I do? Do I say, Oh, my gosh, thats James Stewarts motorcycle, so Id better not touch that aggressively. At that point, the natural reaction takes over, and you just get that thing off of you. Whether its James, or his motorcycle, or his head, at that point, something told me to get it off of me. So Im disappointed, and maybe in a week or so, Ill cool down and think otherwise, but at this point, Im pretty disappointed in the AMA, and Im not real happy about their decision to penalize me. Remember, this penalty was decided before they even knew I had a broken hand or that I couldnt race the next race anyway. To potentially take me out of a race for a non-existent violation, I think thats really inappropriate, and it made them look silly. And theyre consistent at that."
(from racer x)
i too agree with his statement and do not like wht the ama has done to our sport but dude you just keep crying man.
as much as I don't like Reed I can agree and relate to his statement

I don't want to see him hurt either. I can't watch him get beat if he's not racing
Reed hadn't looked good on that Kawi at all. It is also shocking seeing him on a green bike.
green is how it all started for him though.

Oh my, here is someone that actually knows what he's talking about.
Here ya go gang lol...hope the dirt wrex crew can pull the shrink wrap off a2 track tomorrow without the stadium floating away lol

Reed makes me sick... The guy is garbage. IMO he's one of the worst professional athletes in sports.

Here's links for A1 and Phoenix practice lap times:
 A1 lap times

 Phoenix lap times
who is going to San Fran next week? I probably am but not confirmed yet.
Once again Blake those are main event lap times which again hold nothing....

And u r crazy if u think reed is worst then Hanny, Tyler Evans, the list goes on and on..hanny curses everytime he got on the podium last coupe of years...that's a role model alright

<!-quote-!>quote:

You're right... I was under the impression those were practice lap times.

Evans and Hanson are worse, but I don't think either one of those two will ever get the amount of coverage as Reed. Evans, lol.. That guy is ridiculous.
 HAHA!!
I'm just hoping it doesn't rain between 6 and 10.
Yeah true on the coverage thing...all though hanny had the lime light for a second on factory ktm and what'd he do with..produces no titles, bought a lambo, sign sx only contract in the lites class ha ha guy is or atleast use to be a joke...none the less he is fun to watch
I think we'll see more out of Hanson... He's looking strong under ProCircuit's wing. Hopefully his act will clean up on stage, but I'm not holding my breath while I wait for that to happen. I don't understand why these guys, who are looked up to constanly (for the most part), don't try to be more professional off the track. Whinning, complaining, trash-talking... Man, grow up. It's almost as simple as this: I trained hard, rode hard, and won against some of the best riders in the world... Or, I tried my best, I gave it all I could, but that wasn't enough! How often do you hear those words? I do occassionally, but not near as often as I'd like to.
^^^^I always heard RC and Mcgrath say things like that...Emig too
is there a way to get A2 live on the web or something. i need to watch!!!!
looks like a short practice and bubba is not feeling it running forth behind brayton, dungey and hill with the fastest practice lap.
windham was right there with villopoto back behind stroupe millsaps and short.

so is stewart running tonight? i know someone is there with an iphone, lol.
here we go http://twitter.com/racerxonline
FYI:

A2 is showing on both Speed channel today (appears to be lites only) and CBS as well.
lites 10pm tonight on speed in my area.

just watched the sx race. stroupe should have gotten the hell out of the way for his teammate. dude finished 20th and probably slowed dungey down the first few laps he was running up front. dungey did ride a great race and looked really fast, i was surprised he didnt swap out in the whoops, along with bubba he came damn close to dropping the bike.

did villapoto get a crappy start(someone who saw it live)? i was expecting him to ride up near the front. especially after coming in 2nd in the heat race.

glad for josh hill too, too bad he isnt consistent. last year he would have a great race then couldnt be found the following week, hopefully he can ride up in the front the remainder of the season.

bubba said his wrist was bothering him and couldnt really hold on very well after 8 laps. i really thought he was going to ride away from everyone after taking the lead. imo in previous seasons he would have tried to haul ass and ended up with his face in the dirt after being passed but he seems to be racing a little more conservatively this season.
Villapoto didn't get the best start but he hasn't looked good all year. We've been to both Anaheims and Phoenix and he just hasn't looked like himself. Maybe still trying to get back to 100% from his injury?

It does look like Stewart is racing smarter and looking at the season as opposed to the current race. It looked like he tried with his injury but when seeing it wasn't going to happen settled in to pick up what points he could.

Mortgages for contractor and self-employed people are so very easy to find. There are many more today that are going to look at adding a mortgage helper. Now, this isn't as strange as you think and this is happening more so today than ever before. You yourself might one day need a mortgage helper; so how can you add a helper onto your mortgage and how does this work?
You Get a Co-Signer or Partner
Basically when you add a mortgage helper to your home, you are adding a second person onto the policy which means they are now also responsible for the mortgage. Now, this is very simple to do and if the person you wish to add to the mortgage has good credit and money in the bank the mortgage lender is most likely to add them. However, this isn't without its risks to all parties and you have to remember this before adding a mortgage helper. Mortgages for contractor can be very easy to obtain and when you have someone who can co-sign or become a helper, it offers better odds.see post from http://www.mortgages4.contractors/
You Must Keep Up All Repayments
However, just because you have a mortgage helper that does not mean in any way you should stop paying each month. If you were to stop paying the mortgage the responsibility basically falls on the helper and that could potentially cause disaster for them. You never want to do this so you have to ensure all payments are made each month and never missed because it won't just affect your credit but the helper also. That is why you should check out a contractor mortgages calculator so that you can ensure you are getting a mortgage you can afford to repay each month.
Is A Mortgage Helper Necessary?
Sometimes you might not think a helper would be all that needed especially if you have steady income but it may be necessary. For instance if you don't have a regular 9-to-5 job or work as a contractor then it may be a necessary step to take. Now, adding a helper is very much simple but getting someone to be responsible for your mortgage is harder. You may have the money now but maybe not in a few years so the burden of responsibility will pass over. This is why you absolutely have to use contractor mortgages calculator to ensure you get the best mortgage possible.
Keeping Your Home Safe
There are going to be many who will say they do not need a mortgage helper and never will but you really never know. That is why you have to think carefully because while it might not seem necessary today it may be. Now, it doesn't mean you are ever going to fail in paying your mortgage but it may help you to get a mortgage in the first place. view page here!The reason why is simply because you have someone there as a backup with money and if lenders see that, they may be more inclined to offer a mortgage. Mortgages for contractor can be easy to get and a mortgage helper can be very useful.

Discussion in 'iPod' started by Shacklebolt, Jan 17, 2007.
About effin time iTunes got their shows in 16x9.
how's the quality? would it look good on a 60" hd?
How did you find out? I just went to the iTS and previewed an episode and it wasn't in widescreen. Maybe only the downloads are. I'm only asking because I'm interested and I want to make sure before I go and buy some episodes.
Wheren't they all in widescreen to begin with? I've always waited to watch the DVDs...
There are all in widescreen on the DVD's, but I'm not so sure about episodes on the iTS.

How is it already November?! We couldn't be more excited to say that our Athlete of the Month is Kim Appelbaum!
"Kim is a beast. Not only does she come in and train hard all of the time, but she shows her quiet warrior spirit when things get tough…I remember once upon a time she literally broke her ankle running. Did she complain? Nope. Did she quit? Nope. Just kept showing up to the gym, finding smart ways to work out even while "battle-damaged." Such an awesome example…always positive…and a true pleasure to coach."
~Coach mike
"Kim has been a member for just over 2 years and her growth as an athlete is in that has been exponential. Her consistency, confidence, and attention to detail has paid huge dividends as she's progressed across the spectrum. Whether it's showing up for barbell club on Saturday's or asking questions for how to progress specific skills, Kim is always willing to give a little extra effort to improve her fitness."
~Coach Jeremiah
1.How long have you been doing Crossfit? And how long have you been at Crossfit RX? I have been doing Crossfit for two and a half years, and I have been at Crossfit RX the whole time.
2.Why Crossfit? I was initially pretty scared of Crossfit because I'm not
very good at endurance exercises. Now I can't imagine doing anything other than Crossfit. I enjoy the variable nature of the workouts, and I love seeing myself get stronger and faster. There is always something for me to improve.
3. What are some of your hobbies outside of the gym? Outside of the gym I love traveling and exploring new places. I also love cooking and trying new recipes.
4. Favorite and least favorite movements? I love olympic lifting! Clean and jerks are my favorite. I loathe workouts that have a lot of running because I'm pretty slow…
5. Name one thing you've accomplished in Crossfit, and name one goal you are currently chasing. I'm most proud of finally stringing together pull ups. When I started I had never been able to do a pull up of any kind. Next
up are handstand push ups.
6. Favorite food or meal? I love Indian and Thai food. I love foods that have a lot of different flavors and spice.
7. What is something people would be surprised to know about you? I have been a vegetarian for 7 ½ years.
8. Favorite piece of advice you've gotten in Crossfit? Don't compare yourself to others. It took me a while to get past this, and I'm still learning to work on myself and ignore everyone else. Mostly, I just don't check the whiteboard anymore haha.
We are SO excited to announce our athlete of the month for October. CHARLIE MILLER! He is such a joy to be around, we love you Charlie!
"Charlie is one of those people you want to copy (and make 100 copies of)…he trains consistently, works hard and is super-coachable, shows up outside of the gym to support folks at comps and social events too…then suddenly years have gone by…and he's still doing his awesome thing with all the enthusiasm and energy we usually only see in the first few months of CrossFit. His positive attitude, work ethic, and good nature are a true pleasure to have around! Love this athlete."
– Coach Michael
"Charlie is awesome. I could really just leave it there, but can't. He's incredibly consistent, always signs in, never complains and busts his ass….but most important to me, is that Charlie is always smiling. Not once have I seen him upset. He's quick to make a friend and always seems to be there to show his support inside and outside of the gym. Charlie! You're an awesome dude and you've got zero arguments from anyone on that!"
– Coach Kelly Levens
1. How long have you been doing Crossfit? And how long have you been at Crossfit RX? I've been doing Crossfit for just over 4 and a half years (all at RX). RX is the first and only gym of any kind that I've ever joined.
2. Why Crossfit? When I was younger I played volleyball regularly, but I stopped when I turned 40 or so. I work in a sedentary office environment and needed something to keep me active, so I thought I'd give Crossfit a try. I like that the classes are taught by great coaches that care about me getting fitter and who correct my (often not so great) form. And I truly love the supportive, welcoming community.
3. What are some of your hobbies outside of the gym? Well, I've been a director, actor, and sound designer in the Atlanta theatre scene for over 25 years, so clearly I love that. I also enjoy traveling, going to music concerts, and playing trivia.
4. Favorite and least favorite movements? Favorite: Kettlebell swings – whenever I see it in a workout, I'm pretty happy..unless it's combined with… Least Favorite: Burpees/thrusters (tie)
5. Name one thing you've accomplished in Crossfit, and name one goal you are currently chasing. I'll never forget the day that I climbed my first rope and when I did an entire WOD with 24″ box jumps. As far as goals are concerned, I'm trying to work on my strength and endurance. I also have been working on my mobility which seems to be limiting some of my movement.
6. Favorite food or meal. I pretty much love any kind of food (Thai, Mexican, Indian, Italian, Chinese, Greek…you name it), but if I had to pick one thing…maybe cheese and a good glass of wine (ok, that's two).
7. What is something people would be surprised to know about you? I was valedictorian of both my high school and undergraduate college. I own over 10,000 music CD's.
8. Favorite piece of advice you've gotten in Crossfit? Using proper form and technique is more important than how much weight you're lifting. Always finish.
Let's hear it for our September athlete of the month, the one and only Sean Henry
"Sean Henry aka Shy Shonnie. He's a sneaky one! Sneaky good athlete….won our annual CFRX games this past year. But aside from that, he's just Awesome, awesome part of our community! Doesn't complain, just comes in and does work. At least when he's not at the fire station.
Quick little "feat of strength" about Sean. 3 years ago at our CFRX games event we did 75 wall balls as the opening workout. Sean told me…I guess I gotta go unbroken or I'm out. So he (at 5 ft 6 or so) does 75 wall balls unbroken. Super impressive." ~ Coach Kelly Levens
"Sean isn't a loud and flamboyant kind of guy. He'll walk through the doors quietly, set his gear down, sometimes park his bike, and he'll chit-chat a little with a few folks before the class begins, and he's laser focused on the task at hand. As a Firefighter and Paramedic, he may spend his days saving lives and helping those in need, but in the box, he's a humble, silent assassin. He's also quick to check his ego and listen to his body. If he's feeling tired from working a shift with little to no rest, he'll modify workout loads/reps so that he can still approach the WOD with the appropriate level of intensity.
He's always someone that I've got to keep looking over my shoulder or keep in my sights during the CrossFit Games Open, in fact he gave me a real run for my money and beat me during this year's "Fitness in Candler Park" post-Cf Open-gym competition. I've been working on my hand stand walks Sean… so watch out!
He's a good dude, and a great reflection of the Firefighting And CrossFit RX community." ~ Coach James
"Despite the fact that Sean is a man of few words I could think of several good ones to describe him – head down, hard working, positive, consistent, and flexible. Sean is a grassroots crossfitter who shows up, does the work, doesn't complain, and is always willing to accommodate or adjust his workout for the needs of the class. A portrait of dependability, I can always depend on Sean as one of many reasons why I love Crossfit Rx." ~Coach Jeremiah
1) How long have you been doing Crossfit? And how long have you been at Crossfit RX?
5 1/2 years, been at RX just over 2 years!
2) Why Crossfit?
I had been going to a regular gym but wanted something different. I liked that I didn't have to come up with workouts anymore and they were different everyday.
3) What are some of your hobbies outside of the gym?
I like anything that keeps me moving. Biking, running, hiking, camping, music festivals, long walks in the beach haha
4) Favorite movement: finally getting a muscle up after many failed attempts
Least favorite: movement: getting whipped daily for months while trying to learn double unders
5) Name one thing you've accomplished in Crossfit, and name one goal you are currently chasing.
muscle ups. My current goal is building strength.

7) What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

don't give up
Our amazing August athlete of the month is COACH AMY LEVENS!
It is hard for me to put into words just how much Amy has meant to not only our gym, but to me personally to get to have her involved with something that I love so much. She built our Ladies program and Masters program from scratch, and her passion for those 2 classes quickly became evident. I know it will be especially hard for her to leave those classes behind. You have been a monumental part of our gym and I have no doubt in my mind that we would not be the gym that we are today without you helping along the way. You will be missed more than you know and we wish you, Niko and Ruby all the best up in New Hampshire! ~Coach Kelly
It literally breaks my heart to know that Amy (and Ruby and Niko) are leaving our gym family. For so many years Amy has been a rock-solid leader, coach, CAThlete, festivity-planned, and all-around positive influence in our community…there is simply no way to repay her contribution to CrossFit RX. I know this is a great adventure for her and her family and am certain she will be Awesomely Successful wherever she may roam…and of course I'm hoping she roams back down here from time to time. Bon voyage Coach Amy and Fam! ~Coach Mike
So many words to describe Amy LKV. Badass mom, coach, and athlete, beautiful, strong, hilarious. She is all of that and more. I've never had a coach make me feel more welcome to just be me in a class. Goofy as hell. Rx Ladies has seriously been some of the best girlfriend get-togethers I've had over the past year. Amy makes you want to be there to workout. Because even when it's 10 rounds of all the moves and 52 minutes and 45 seconds of pain, you still feel good because you're with all your ladies and a coach that makes you laugh the whole way through. I wish I'd had many more workouts and laughs with Amy…Rx is losing a true gem. I'm secretly hoping she hates NH and will bring herself, Niko, and RubyLu back home to us. ~Coach Messina
Amy Kleinheksel, not to be confused with Amy Levens-Vandevoorde, is my favorite kitty ninja. I'm going to miss my Saturday coaching buddy. Team A-squared will forever be in my heart of hearts. Please come back soon so we can do tasteful naked acrobatics. ~Coach Gambow
Our beautiful bad ass July athlete of the month.. Miriam Andrews! She is fierce, and we love having her as part of our ladies class community.
"Miriam is a pain in the butt! Just Kidding 🙂 but for real I've never had a more loyal ladies class attendee who disapproved of my programming more, well that's not exactly true Nesa has her share of complaints 🙂 she must just really love this group, she might just love them as much as I do. Miriam is the muscle and she inspires other ladies to put more color on their bars. Miriam always has a goal, she is knowledgeable, and experienced athlete. Did I mention she is creative, Miriam has some great ideas and she applies them when she is changing my workouts every single day! Miriam you are part of the club now, you have put up with our crazy jokes and other shenanigans. I appreciate your commitment and hard work! I will certainly miss you!" – Coach Amy L
"Miriam is one lady you don't want to mess with! She is a fierce sprinter and throws around weight like it's her job. Focused, dedicated and ready to work. I often look to her when picking my weight for the WOD and scale back because I know she is one serious bad a$$!" – Kayleen, former athlete of the month

A little fashionably late, but let's introduce our Athlete of the Month for June, Clay Horste!
"Love having Clay in class! He's made a pretty remarkable amount of progress in a pretty short amount of time. Diligent, hard working and great attitude. Also probably the most interesting guy in class. Knows a little bit about pretty much everything….changing clutches, racing cars, bitcoin mining and now Crossfit." Coach Kelly Levens
"Clay is a very enthusiastic member, a joy to have in class! He comes in and pushes to get better every workout.
He is also a car enthusiast. He races a cayman that he works on. I'm excited to see him keep progressing as an athlete! A well deserved athlete of the month!"– Coach Guy
1) How long have you being doing crossfit and when did you start at RX?
I started Crossfitting about 4 years ago. I have been at RX since last summer.
2) Why crossfit?
Cool story Bro: I started at my current company almost 8 years ago now. The company primarily
puts on events for high tech companies. They did something out of their norm not long before I got there and put on the Crossfit Games. So, everyone was talking about Crossfit. Me? I was naah, I'm a cyclist. But after a few years, I wanted something more. I liked the idea of plyometrics and kettle bells, so I gave Crossfit a look. I found a box near me in Portland that had the right mix of bad humor and training and I was hooked.
3) What are some of your hobbies outside of the gym?
I'll work on anything. I love to cook and I also do some small time car racing. So lately, I have been remodelling my kitchen and I just put a new clutch into my race car.
4) Favorite and least favorite movements?
Thrusters and thrusters. They are my favorite because they just seem like the most Crossfit movement of all. I hate them because I am not very good at them.
5) Name one thing you've accomplished in crossfit, and one thing you are currently chasing.
My goal is to do the Open RX. So I recently got HSPUs going, but they need work. Next for me will be MUs. I'm still working on pistols as well. I'm trying to get out of chairs one legged during the day to practice them.
6) Favorite food or meal?
Even though I love cooking, I really dig a burger. Nothing fancy on it, just good ingredients and technique. Oh, and it has to be massive.
7) What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you?
I don't have a whole lot of secrets. Oh, I know! Georgia is the 11th state I have lived in. Ask me sometime and I'll give you the list.
8) Favorite piece of advice you've been given in crossfit?
Take some weight off, Bro! Honestly that rings true in my head from time to time. Just scale back for a while, get the technique solid and then push ahead.
We are so excited to announce Kayleen Whitmer as our May Athlete of the Month! Kayleen is a ladies class veteran. She is a total bad ass, inside and out, and her perseverance is truly admirable. We are so lucky to have you as part of our community, we love you!
"The way you returned with such grace and strength while continuing to heal mentally and physically is awe inspiring. You, my friend, are a beautiful badass"-Jen Pete
"Kayleen is a constant reminder that no matter what your battles are, that giving up is not an option..that is true in the gym and outside of the gym. I have mad respect for that woman and as a fellow Atom, I'm so proud to have her in the Atom club"!– Nesa K.
"Kayleen inspires me every time I get to work out with her! Her running and dumbbell skills are #GOALS, not to mention the positive attitude she brings with her every day!"-Allison
"Kayleen is awesome! Not just because she out runs everyone all the time either. Outside of class, she is a lady to admire. Kayleen you have big shoes to fill taking Nesa spot as ATOM, I know you will not let me/us down"- Coach Amy Levens
1. How long have you been doing Crossfit? And how long have you been at Crossfit RX? 7 yrs I think, 4 at CFRX ?
2. Why Crossfit? The competitive side of the workouts while keeping it new and exciting…and the community
3. What are some of your hobbies outside of the gym? Anything on the water, biking, enjoying my kiddos
4. Favorite and least favorite movements? I really like snatches, hate overhead squats
5. Name one thing you've accomplished in Crossfit, and name one goal you are currently chasing. Working out through 2 pregnancies until the very end and bouncing back as soon as the doctor allowed. Finding the balance of life with the gym. Making sure I get to the gym 3-5 times a week (I almost always have at least 1 baby/toddler with me)
6. Favorite food or meal? Salmon and veggies or a tasty salad
7. What is something people would be surprised to know about you? I grew up on the water and learned how to waterski when I was 5 years old and learned to barefoot around 13 yrs old.
8. Favorite piece of advice you've gotten in Crossfit? I'd say it's a concept rather than a piece of advice… No one has said this to me, but it's clear…you get more out of CF than you realize. You can see the physical changes your body makes but the mental strength and the strength of the community are just as important.
For April, we have a special surprise. FAMILY OF THE MONTH! Here's to the Lewis-Shaw-Kingsbury clan. We absolutely love seeing them around the gym. Their energy is contagious, and they are so much friggin fun. Crossfit builds stronger families.
"Tyson and Deana are a dynamic duo! Tyson is new to CrossFit and has been making big strides towards becoming a well rounded athlete. Deana always brings a cheerful enthusiasm to class. This team are a force to be reckoned with. They both put a lot of effort into not only the workouts but into trying to improve their form too. Our gym build on people like them, I'm excited to watch as they keep growing as athletes"- Coach Guy
"Since Tracey and Stephanie joined us at RX (just over 3 years ago now!!) I have watched a big physical change, that seemed to come very easily with them both. In recent months, I have seen the both of them with am little added motivation for more goal oriented things. Since January I have seen both of them (and Tyson, their son) putting in a lot of extra work both before and after workouts to start chipping away at those goals! First, it was box jumps with Tracey, and now she and Steph both are on to conquer the pull up. Their hard work is only a small part of why they are such an awesome piece of our gym. We all love them for their good, positive approach towards all things gym. It has been a great 3 years to share with hem both…I look forward to seeing them everyday at the 4:30 class!" Coach Kelly Levens

For March let's introduce Sarah! She's a bit newer to our community and we are so glad she has stuck around.
Sarah is a phenomenal athlete and always a pleasure to have in class! Describing Sarah as just "coachable" would be an understatement for her willingness to learn and improve. She meets every workout head on (and with a smile), and on more than one occasion I've seen her even give our coaches a run for their money – not to mention she'll walk down just about anyone on a running workout. Sarah is a rockstar!
-Jeremiah Brewster
Let me tell you about Sarah! Shes a silent warrior, in that she comes into class everyday ready to take on whatever challenge is presented to her, without any fuss or self doubt, she slays her workouts, giving 100%. Her work ethic is something to be admired! She's incredibly friendly to her fellow athletes and coaches and she will always show you her smile after a workout, no matter how grueling it was. She's an absolute winner in my book and a pleasure to have around.
-James Moore
Sarah has been so much fun to watch grow and develop over the past 7-8 months or so. She is constantly striving to improve. Willing to put in the work where others aren't. Her smile and attitude is infectious…in an industry that allows you to get lost or sidetracked at times as to why we do this, Sarah helps bring me back to the roots of Crossfit. Move better, be better, feel better… I hope that the gym means as much to her as she has meant to us.
-Kelly Levens
1. How long have you been doing Crossfit? And how long have you been at Crossfit RX? I'm new to CrossFit and have been at CrossFit RX since August 2017
2. Why Crossfit? I love the combination of movements that CrossFit emphasizes and that it combines weightlifting with gymnastics and various other movements. The high intensity of the workouts and the emphasis on functional fitness is important to me. CrossFit makes me feel strong. Crossfit provides a mental and physical challenge. I find the CrossFit athletes inspiring and the coaches at CrossFit RX are supportive and encouraging.
3. What are some of your hobbies outside of the gym? I have a cookie business as a side hustle. I bake and decorate cookies for weddings and birthdays.
4. Favorite and least favorite movements? My favorite movement is swinging from the bar;I love kipping swings and knees to bar. This movement is fun and makes me feel like I'm playing on the jungle gym. My least favorite movement is the front squat, I'm working on improving my mobility to accomplish this movement.
5. Name one thing you've accomplished in Crossfit, and name one goal you are currently chasing. : I love CrossFit because it's a series of small accomplishments that add up over time. Last week I added a plate to make my box jump higher and I was so happy! It's the best feeling in the world. I'm moving like I never thought I would be able to. I can squat and jump; these are movements that couldn't do before CrossFit. I have two prominent goals that I think I've let every coach know about: a pull up and a handstand.
6. Favorite food or meal? I love falafel wraps.
7. What is something people would be surprised to know about you? I grew up in Florida and I love to fish.
8. Favorite piece of advice you've gotten in Crossfit? Coach Guy set me up for success when I was doing my training sessions with him. He gave me three pieces of advice that have resonated with me and I think of often when I'm working out. Number one : it doesn't get easier; you just get better. Number two: stay in your lane; don't compare yourself to everyone else. Number three: it's easy to find an excuse; don't find one.
Our Athlete of the Month for February.. Kellum Welton
"Kellum is the kind of guy you genuinely enjoy being around. He always comes in smiling; he's down for whatever, he's super open to guidance and coaching and he works hard. Most importantly though, he's not afraid to make fun of himself and can take the constant jabbing that often occurs at 6am. You can often catch him hanging around after WODs doing 1 million DUs and something with a KB. Just because…" – Coach Erinn
"Kellum is one of our tried and true 6am'ers. As I'm driving up almost every day I'll pass him on his daily mile run before class. Kellum does all of the programmed work, core and finishers included, and then extra work on top of that. Also he drives a good ways to be here which speaks to the quality of the culture we have at RX of which he is a large part. We need more Kellum's." – Coach Guy
1. How long have you been doing Crossfit? And how long have you been at
Crossfit RX? Crossfit RX is my one and only. I started November 2016, so about 15 months.
2. Why Crossfit? I had been going to the regular ole gym and lifting weights
on week day evenings for years. I was looking for a new way to start my day and wanted to start working out in the mornings, but needed a change to get me there. Ive always done my own thing working out and was not looking for group training or anything that involved a class structure, especially early in the morning. However, this has been the greatest gift crossfit has given me. I love the 6am crew and look forward to seeing them every morning.
3. What are some of your hobbies outside of the gym? I lived in Denver,
CO for two years and grew to love anything that involves the mountains. Skiing is my biggest passion. It's one of the few things Ive found where I can scare myself and remain under some control. Also hiking with our dogs, yoga, cycling, and cooking.
4. Favorite and least favorite movements? One of my favorites is everyone's
least favorite; the assault bike. I actually have one at home now. My other favorite is power cleans. I thoroughly enjoy the feeling and speed of catching the barbell on your shoulders once you've flipped your elbows underneath. Least favorite is rope climbs. I'm always bleeding afterwards.
5. Name one thing you've accomplished in Crossfit, and name one goal you
are currently chasing. When I first started crossfit I couldn't do a single double under and it really bothered me. So I started working on them weekly, which turned into daily. Now they're one of my favorites. It's tough to name just one goal I'm chasing so I'll name a few: butterfly pull-ups, bar muscle ups, clean 275, 60 cals in 1 minute assault bike.
6. Favorite food or meal? I have two tied for first: rack of ribs and hibachi.
7. What is something people would be surprised to know about you? I'm pretty ocd, but many probably already know that. I'm also scared of cold water.
8. Favorite piece of advice you've gotten in Crossfit? This is coach Guy inspired by way of Jocko Willink's book, Discipline Equals Freedom on how to deal with setbacks, failures, delays, defeats, or other disasters. From big to small. When things are going bad there's always going to be some good that will come from it, but only if you focus on that good. It's your choice to either focus on the good or bad of all situations. When things are going bad don't get bummed out or frustrated. Just look at the issue and say, Good. For example: Broke your ankle/leg? Good. Needed to work on balance and mobility for a couple months. Unexpected problem comes up? Good. We have an opportunity to find a solution. Etc.
Kicking off 2018 with our January Athlete of the Month… Quentin V
"If you saw the mobility limitations Quentin had when he first came to Rx a little over a year ago you wouldn't believe that it was the same athlete, but that's just a testament to the consistency and hard work he's put into improving his overall wellness – Making this all the more impressive is the fact that Quentin spends most of his week on the road, traveling for work." Coach Jeremiah
1. How long have you been doing Crossfit? And how long have you been at Crossfit RX? I started doing crossfit at Crossfit RX about 18 months ago.
2. Why Crossfit? Wanted to try something new and I liked the idea of varied workouts that could make me a better all-around athlete. Pushing myself by working out with other people is something I'm enjoying a lot more than I thought I would originally.

Introducing our December Athlete of the Month… Nesa Kleinheksel. She's an OG!
"Nesa is a Ladies Class OG! At this point, I believe Nesa could be grandfathered into coaching at RX. When in doubt, program push press and never ever make her do a group warm up that involves high kicks! But for real, Nesa is awesome and there is a big hole in Class when she isn't there. Nesa is a fantastic athlete, she works really hard. She is a wonderful and necessary part of ladies Class. I love you, Norwegian princess!"- Coach Amy Levens
"What a wonderful piece of our gym community Nesa has been…But she does not stop there! In addition to being an outstanding, long term member of our gym community, Nesa has been an absolute superb donor to our Fantasy Football league! She holds a 4 year record of being the only one to draft a kicker in the first round! Talk about easy money 🙂 But for real…we all love Nesa! I hated when she made the switch to ladies class because I never got to see her anymore! She certainly has made her mark in that class though! I am happy she has found her soulmate in Amy L. We love you Nesa K! Keep on hustling!"- Coach Kelly Levens
1. How Long have you been doing Crossfit, and how long have you been at RX?
I don't know how long..but my spreadsheet says I have paid CrossfitRX a total of $5760 so far since I started.
2. Why Crossfit?
Once I shattered my goal of a level 10 incline on the treadmill at LAfitness, I knew I needed a new physical activity to keep my mind challenged, so I tried Orange Theory and I fell in love with it. I go every day! Crossfit Rx is just something that occupies my mornings.
3. Hobbies outside of the gym:
Leaping. But lately i have been getting into Twirling and really enjoy it.
4. Favorite Movement – I love Push Press! Least Favorite – stretching, lunges, squats, burpees, pullups, double unders, running, rowing, biking, box jumps, muscle ups, sit ups, bench press, deadlifts, AND Toes to Bar.
5. One goal you've accomplished in Crossfit:
Well just a few weeks ago, I was really hoping for a new bench press PR after a long 5 week cycle, well I failed. So I have no accomplishments, but I know what my goal(again) is now!
6. Favorite Food?
Whatever snacks the Moms bring for the kids at RX…after a long hard WOD there is nothing like munching down some dry Cheerios or Ritz Crackers!
7. Something people would be surprised to know about you:
I am super shy.
8. Best piece of advice you've gotten at Crossfit?
Make sure you wear the right underwear for a successful wod.
Our Athlete of the Month for November is Laurie Freeman! Let's meet Laurie…
"Laurie has been one of the the most consistent members at Rx for the last 2 years and her progress in the gym speaks for itself. Not only is she one of the most coachable athletes I've worked with but she also actively seeks more coaching and improvement by regularly attending 'Skills class.' " –Coach Jeremiah
"Laurie joined us a few years ago. I remember asking her how things were going and how she was liking the gym and Crossfit in general. I believe her response was something like, "well you got me for 6 more months!" She has been working hard and doing great things both in and out of the gym ever since, and it shows! We are all happy that she chose to stick around and be such a great addition to our gym." -Coach Kelly Levens
1. How long have you been doing Crossfit? Just under 2 years. And how long have you been at Crossfit RX? Same
2. Why Crossfit? At that time, I was a couple months away from turning 40, had gained 15 lbs in that year, and my usual gym routine was not working. I told my husband that I thought it was time to join Crossfit and he offered to pay for the first year as my 40th Birthday present cause he knows I am cheap and that the thought of spending that money was the only thing holding me back. He is a sweetheart, I know. Literally the gift that keeps on giving.
3. What are some of your hobbies outside of the gym? Whitewater kayaking and mountain biking.
4. Favorite and least favorite movements? ? I HATE RUNNING and Snatches of course. I like front/back squats and any lifting that does not require the coordination of the Olympic lifts.
5. Name one thing you've accomplished in Crossfit, and name one goal you are currently chasing. I finally got kipping pull ups and can sometimes string them together. I would like to work on a handstand pushup or even a handstand.
6. Favorite food or meal? I love Garlic; raw, roasted, broiled, whatever. If we are talking about a meal though, I would say fried shrimp.
7. What is something people would be surprised to know about you? I am extremely thrifty. I hate "stuff". I hate shopping for ANYTHING, except biking and kayaking gear, I can blow some dough on that kinda stuff. Yet I buy all of my office clothes at thrift stores and brag about how cheap they were to my coworkers. Knowing that, most people would be surprised to know that my cheap ass has paid for two separate Crossfit memberships for several months at a time while out of town visiting my husband so that I can have access when I am both home and with him. That is how much Crossfit means to me. It is worth every penny.
8. Favorite piece of advice you've gotten in Crossfit? Keep moving. As hard as it is to keep moving sometimes, I found this to be so true because it is so much harder to start back during the WOD after completely stopping or resting for a longer period of time verses if I just keep moving, no matter how slow.
Here it is… Our October Awesome Athlete of the month, Jeff Connelly! We are sad he is leaving us at the end of the month, but we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. Jeff, you will always have a home at RX in Atlanta!
"Jeff is a member that you look forward to seeing walk through the door. Regardless of what the workout that day is he comes in ready to throw down. He is constantly trying to become better and sets an example we could all strive to emulate. Which isn't easy to do, especially at when you wake up during the 5 o'clock hour. The world needs more Jeffs."- Coach Guy
"JConn. Awesome athlete, awesome guy! He has been so good for our gym and our 6:00 am crew. A consistent crusher. Whenever Jeff would notice anything around the gym that he thought could be improved, he would not hesitate to offer very thorough feedback via wodify and would always sign his name to it. I was always impressed by that. Recently Jeff accepted a position in the lovely city of Austin, TX. Although we am very happy for him and his new adventure with his little family, we hate to lose a guy like this. You will be missed Jeff! Thank you for being such a great contributor to our community and gym. Best of luck in Austin!"- Coach Kelly L.
1. How long have you been doing Crossfit? And how long have you been at Crossfit RX? I started Crossfit in the fall of 2013, just about the time my wife told me we were expecting our first daughter. I figured being a dad was going to take a lot more energy and fitness than I had at the time. At the beginning, I took a couple intro classes at the another gym in town, but I soon landed at Crossfit RX and it has been my home ever since. The RX community is filled with wonderful folks, but I am particularly fond of the 6 am crew with whom I spend so much time. There are new faces who join the squad as well as the same great folks who have been there for years. It truly is the best way to start a day.
2. Why Crossfit? I love mountain biking, kayaking, skiing, climbing and anything that involves exploring mountains, river, and wild places. Crossfit is the perfect weekly routine to make sure that when those big mountain adventures come, you are in great shape to make the most of it. I also thoroughly enjoy the variety and how it challenges folks to constantly improve through competition, but in the purely communal way.
3. What are some of your hobbies outside of the gym? See Above.
4. Favorite and least favorite movements? My least favorite movement would have to be the double under. But after years of self inflicted hand and ankle lashings, I can finally string together about 25 or so… at the beginning of the WOD, that is. My favorite movement is probably the snatch. I've heard it described as the gymnastics movement of olympic weightlifting, and I love the way in involves deliberate speed, strength, balance, and attention to detail. Growing up a soccer player, it was something I had never even heard of before Crossfit.
5. Name one thing you've accomplished in Crossfit, and name one goal you are currently chasing. Recently I've been able to snag a few Bar Muscle Ups, which was a massive goal of mine. Next on the agenda is getting multiple Ring Muscle ups!
6. Favorite food or meal? I do a lot of cooking for my family but I would probably say anything on the grill, whether it is fish, meat, or veggies. This Bon Appetit recipe is one of my favorites – https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/sambal-chicken-skewers I am also a bit of a coffee snob. When I leave the 6am class, I usually head over to Aurora to pick up flat whites for my wife and I. Fran and James over there know how to pour a real espresso shot.
7. What is something people would be surprised to know about you? I can nerd out pretty hard on spy novels.
8. Favorite piece of advice you've gotten in Crossfit? I recall Coach Mike saying one Sunday afternoon, as we were all well into some chipper body weight suffer fest, something to the extent of, "how wonderful it is that we are all healthy and able to be here, right now, doing this." I loved it. We are indeed fortunate to have the capacity and the supportive community to make every day better than the previous. As JFK said, we do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. That is why I love Crossfit, and the good folks at RX.
We have a two-fer special for our Athletes of the Month for September. Crossfit RX welcomes all military and police personnel, and would like to honor those who serve and protect us. This is why we chose both Andrew Grubb and Larry Compton, and we are truly thankful to have them part of our community.
First let's meet Grubb!
"Grubb is the man! Regardless of whether he's come off a full night sleep or has been up for 48 hours straight catching bad guys, when he is in the gym he is killing it. Great attitude, great work ethic, always willing to help, he's an ideal member. I'm glad we have people like Grubb in the gym and on the streets"– Coach Guy
"Aside from being a great athlete, member and the most consistent athlete in our gym as far as attendance is concerned. Grubb serves our community as a police officer in Cobb county. We as a gym want to thank you for you service and are proud to have you as well as any other police officer or uniformed service member in our gym."- Coach Kelly Levens
1) How long have you been doing Crossfit? I've been doing crossfit for about 7 years, I started at Crossfit South Cobb.
2) Why Crossfit? I've been at RX for the last three years after I decided I needed a change and visited 5 different gyms. RX fit everything I was looking for in facility, coaching, programming, & most importantly people!
3) What are some of your hobbies outside of the gym? I'm a big music buff so outside of the gym I try to take in as many live music shows I can make it to. I love sharing and introducing people to new bands. Favorite Atlanta venue is Terminal West.
4) Favorite and least favorite movements? Favorite movement handstand push-ups, least favorite is wallballs.
5) Name one thing you've accomplished in Crossfit, and name one goal you are currently chasing. One goal I chased and accomplished is a body weight snatch. A goal I've yet to accomplish is a 225lb clean and jerk.
6) Favorite food or meal? My favorite meal has to be the "burger" at Fox Bros.
7) What is something people would be surprised to know about you? People would be surprised to know that I worked undercover narcotics/organized crime investigations for four years. I'm virtually unrecognizable in photos from back then. Partly because of my beard and hair but mostly because I was about 25 lbs heavier 🙂
8) Favorite piece of advice you've gotten in Crossfit? it's cliche for a reason but that piece of advice is not to be afraid of checking your ego and scaling. The coaches have a time domain or work capacity in mind when programming these workouts so plan your workout accordingly. You're missing the point with your 15 minute Grace time.
Now let's learn a little more about Larry….
"We want to give special recognition to Larry Compton. Larry is not able to attend quite as regularly as Grubb is because Larry is serving his country in the Army. Despite his constant travel, Larry has always maintained his relationship with Crossfit RX and calls our gym his home for fitness. We are happy he does and have immense gratitude for his service." Coach Kelly Levens
About me: I am currently serving in the United States Air Force Reserve as an Cyberspace Operations Officer /Intelligence Analyst, and I am an Afghanistan veteran. I live in Candler Park with my wife Vanessa and 10thgrade daughter Audrey. In my civilian job, I work at the Georgia Tech Research Institute.
1. How long have you been doing Crossfit?
I have been doing Crossfit since 2012 – I had just come home from an overseas deployment and was looking for a way to get in better shape. My wife bought me 1 month at Crossfit RX as a Christmas present, and I have been a member at CFRX for all of those 5 years. For the last several years, I have traveled on various military and civilian missions for about 180 days out of the year, so I don't attend CFRX as much as I would like. However, most military gyms now have functional fitness rooms that give me options while on the road.
2. Why Crossfit?
After the introductory workout with Kelly, I knew Crossfit was much harder than my previous routine. I immediately saw an opportunity to increase my fitness level. The biggest benefit I get from Crossfit is actually mental fortitude and resiliency. The mindset and discipline to push through without giving up carries forward to everything in life, not just physically demanding tasks.
3. What are some of your hobbies outside of the gym?
I have very little free time, but I do enjoy hiking, stand-up paddle boarding, and target shooting. We like to attend sporting events as a family, especially Atlanta Braves baseball games.
4. Favorite and least favorite movements?
Anything involving bodyweight is my favorite (or easiest). This includes pushups, pullups, etc. Heavy squats and double-unders are my least favorite. The Olympic lifts like clean and jerk/squat clean/snatches are terrifying and exhilarating all at once. I enjoy trying to focus on form with the Olympic lifts.
5. Name one thing you've accomplished in Crossfit, and name one goal you are currently chasing.
A few years ago, I participated in the CFRX clean eating challenge. I had a terrible diet soda habit that I was able to kick entirely and replace with black coffee. I am required to take a fitness test twice a year for the Air Force, and my goal is to always score "Excellent". That's what I'm working on right now since I have a test coming up in October.
6. Favorite food or meal?
My wife makes amazing lamb chops, Greek potatoes and Greek salad. I love having that with a side of homemade mint sauce and a pint of stout or porter.
7. What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
I was born in Singapore and traveled all over Southeast Asia as a young person.
8. Favorite piece of advice you've gotten in Crossfit?
Attend the skills classes, and re-attend for a refresher. These aren't just for new members!

This easy recipe from Chelsea's Messy Apron is the perfect breakfast–or dessert–companion. It only take 10 minutes to put together, and the skillet does the rest of the work. Cook the cinnamon roll skillet cake in a durable cast iron skillet from Blain's Farm & Fleet.
Cinnamon Roll Cake
- 2 packages Buttermilk Biscuits (Depending on your size skillet you may have some leftover)
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1/2 – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract depending on taste preference
- 2-3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. If you don't have a pre-seasoned skillet, rub about 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil on the bottom of the skillet and set aside.
(I used an 8-inch skillet. If you use a bigger one, you will need to adjust the ingredient amounts.)
Remove the biscuits from the packages.
Using a rolling pin, roll each of the biscuits very flat and thin.
Dip each biscuit in the melted butter, shake off the excess and then dip the biscuit in the cinnamon sugar mixture making sure to cover both sides. Shake off the excess.
Roll up each biscuit and place the rolled up biscuit on the outside of a skillet in a circle fashion spiraling towards the inside of the skillet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes. If the outside is cooking faster than the inside, tent the outer edges with foil.
Meanwhile, prepare the frosting by beating together the powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Slowly add in the milk or heavy cream until desired consistency is reached.
Remove the cake and let cool for about 5-7 minutes before frosting.
Pipe the frosting over the cake and cut into slices to serve.

It's cold/flu season, and I am prone to bronchitis. But I have found an inexpensive herbal mixture that loosens up all that gunk in my lungs before it starts to be really troublesome. Take a teaspoon or so of the Chinese 5 Spice mixture that you find in the grocery store and add 1/2 tsp. of dried thyme in a large cup. Add boiling water and let steep to create a tea that tastes awful, but works like a charm!

This sounds like something I'd like to try. I'm sure it will taste awful but if it will help, then it'd be worth it. I seem to be prone to getting sore throats this time of year....have one now and went on antibiotic yesterday because I couldn't take it anymore. It appears to be more in my glands and even a little in my ears. Swallowing is painful tho. Anyway, I also get phlem at the back of my throat and usually start having a cough and mucus. I bought that OTC Musinex product but didn't think it really did anything. Thanks for the tip!
Should I have the SLIGHTEST nasal or sinus congestion, I KNOW that if I don't get RIGHT on it, it will drain down the back of my throat and congest my lungs! By that time, it's VERY hard to get out and healed, always needing an "expectorant", (meaning to "spit out" when the medicine loosens it and causes a slight gag reflex). However, if I catch it
For sore throat, I watch acidic fruit drinks/teas/coffees/candies/fruits, because certain
combinations and too much of these will cause sore
throats almost assuredly in our family. When the "tickle" begins, or the "scratchiness" starts, we
begin with BioZinc supplements, and Acidolphylus
tablets, both from the Health Food Store. It usually nips it in the bud almost overnight, unless there's fever, at which time we also gargle with salt water, take Tylenol, then after a day or so, if not gone, we
Since milk, cheese, gravies, ice creams, yogurts and
butters are often mucolytics (mucous-forming), those of us who are more prone to mucous congestion plugs avoid very much of them. As wonderful as they taste, they do cause our family problems. The Organic forms of these seem to do less damage, forming less mucous in our head, but
we still limit them to small amounts per day. Often
times I will hear someone coughing and snorting a lot. If we converse they usually explain that they have had the problem all of their life and believe it
to be "only allergies". After telling them of our problems, they realize how much that applies to the own diet and make adjustments that help them.
Chocolate is not so much an offender as MILK Chocolate. Puddings, dips, creamed soups, etc. are all full of these products. It seems to help a bit to use the NON-FAT versions of these products, perhaps because the fat inside is some of the problem/offending portion?
Some folks seem to be more sensitive to congestion
forming mucolytics than others. We just know of a lot of folks this has helped. Good luck and God bless. : )

I needed to get lunch before going babysitting, and it was noon on a Sunday in Hollywood, and I wanted a bagel, so I went to Canter's Deli. Canter's first location was in Boyle Heights (in downtown LA) in 1931; it opened in this location on Fairfax (in Hollywood) in 1953. Often this blog takes me to new and wonderful places, but sometimes it's about re-visiting places I've been a million times. I lived down the street from Canter's Deli when I first moved to L.A. I was living in a tiny apartment with a couple other punk rockers, and we had almost no money and went to clubs every night, and if we happened to not be completely broke we'd go to Canter's afterwards, because it was open all night and they were nice to us and you could get really full for super cheap, if you like eating pickles. We were very hungry so we liked eating pickles. I've gone to Canter's fairly regularly since. I saw Liza Minnelli there once (I was certain it was her and my friend was certain it was not… and then the waiter came over and quietly freaked out because OMG it's LIZA!!) and I'm pretty sure the last dinner I had with my dear friend Marcia Wallace was at Canter's. David (my husband) has been going to Canter's all his life; with his grandfather when Continue reading

(1926) Greenblatt's Deli, Hollywood
I'd been to Greenblatt's Deli before, but not recently, and I hadn't written about any places in Hollywood in a while, so I decided to head over for lunch. I always like that section of Sunset because I stayed very near there on my first ever trip to L.A., more than twenty years ago. I remember going for a long walk right past there, but I think I was more interested in looking at the Laugh Factory next door than at Greenblatt's; at least I don't remember it. The front of Greenblatt's is all brick and carved stone, a really gorgeous old building, but someone put a gigantic, garish digital sign on the front of it. I wish they hadn't, but I suppose if it attracts business that they need to stay open it's worth it?
-The first floor is the deli and wine shop, with some booths, but mostly the deli counter and lots and lots of wine bottles. There's more seating upstairs so I went there. Big, heavy wood beams, solid wood stairs and floors, a terrific white tile ceiling with broad beams, brown booths that match the wood in a very pleasing way, and two huge, oval stained glass windows that are a perfect colorful counterpoint to all the dark brown wood. I sat facing the windows because it made me happy to look at them. There are lots of plants in front of the windows too. On the walls are black-and-white photos of Continue reading
(1957) Art's Delicatessen, Studio City
I got hungry while running errands in Studio City and stopped at Art's Delicatessen for lunch. I was fairly certain I'd been there before, but when I went inside it didn't look at all like the place I was remembering, so maybe I hadn't.
-Large, airy room, with a large deli counter in the front and, beyond, a classic coffee shop; rows of maroon and brown booths with beige tables, black and white tile floor, an acoustic-panel ceiling, hanging lamps with green shades, wood-paneled walls, a long row of giant pictures of sandwiches across the back wall, plus one picture of matzoh ball soup. Except for that one, every picture in the place seems to be of a sandwich, or sometimes a cartoon character with a sandwich.
-A little startled to see that the sandwiches were in the $16-dollar range, I got a cup of beef vegetable soup and a fruit bowl. Both were great; the soup in particular Continue reading

[PANN] 170420 International ARMYs are expressing their frustration on Twitter trend
We should go and join them #UMGDontTouchBTS
This is important because reaction videos and subbed videos play an important rule in recruiting a large number of new fans and these videos help BTS to rank No.1 in video contents ranking but they're blocking these videos...
#UMGDontTouchBTS ????? have they lost their mind? who are they to block the videos?
#UMGDontTouchBTS Bighit's Japanese business partner universal Japan is blocking international fans' reaction videos and all other nonsense
They're blocking all videos when Korean is clearly different from Japanese... ㅡㅡ;;
+) the hashtag isn't trending right now but let's try inquiring again together in the evening
Original post here
Response +42 -1
1. I think they will get involved in every promotion of our boys if we just leave them. For instance, controlling their promotion in Korea. Of course, I might be overreacting but even now they're blocking Korean reaction videos like their own music videos so if we just leave them, they might force the boys to promote in Japan twice the amount of their Korean activities +16 -0
2. Japan... ha... I just can't open my heart for them. Nasty... who are they to block the videos? trash +7 -0
3. We should trend the hashtag for real when during evening because we're active during that time +6 -0
4. honestly I guess they could block the reaction videos by Japanese fans but why are they blocking Korean music videos? are they ㅋㅋㅋ Bighit? ㅋㅋ are you their Korean management company? You aren't. Some might think that BTS was created by a Japanese company, don't you think? +6 -0
5. ah why do I feel so nasty? I have a feeling that Japan is trying to restricting BTS's international popularity. This is annoying

The thermodynamics and kinetics of the adsorption of acetone on ice films as well as their dependence on ice film thickness and ice age have been studied in the temperature range T= 190 – 220 K using a coated wall flow tube reactor (CWFT) coupled with QMS detection. A kinetic model has been developed in order to describe the adsorption and desorption kinetics of acetone on ice surfaces in tubular flow reactors. The rate coefficients for adsorption and desorption as well as adsorption isotherms have been derived by applying the model to the temporal profiles of the gas phase concentration at the exit of the flow reactor. It was found that acetone adsorption is entirely reversible and that the adsorption capacity depends on temperature and film thickness and decreases with the age of the ice film. The time constant of the ageing effect depends on the ice mass and is most pronounced at low acetone gas phase concentrations ( 2.0 x 1011 molecules/cm3) and at low temperatures. It is suggested that under these conditions acetone is initially adsorbed with a high rate and high surface coverage on cubic ice (Ic) adsorption sites. Upon ageing cubic ice is converted into hexagonal ice (Ih) for which the rate of adsorption and the surface coverage are lower. Using two-site dynamic modelling the rate coefficients for adsorption (kads) and desorption (kdes) as well as the Langmuir constant (KL) and the maximum number of adsorption sites (cs,max) as obtained for the adsorption of acetone on each of these ice phases in the respective temperature range are kads(Ic) = 3.8 x 10-14 T0.5 cm3s-1, kdes(Ic) = 4.0x1011 exp(-5773/T) s-1, KL(Ic) = 6.3x10-25 exp(5893/T) cm3, cs,max(Ic) 1014 cm-2 and kads(Ih) = 2.9 x 10-15 T0.5 cm3s-1, kdes(Ih) = 1.5x107 exp(-3488/T) s-1, KL(Ih) = 5.0x10-22 exp(3849/T) cm3, cs,max(Ih) = 6.0x1014 cm-2, respectively. The cs,max (Ih) and cs,max (Ic) were found to be dependent on ice thickness, however cs,max (Ic) is relative lab time and temperature dependent as well.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- Orioles right-hander Bud Norris knows what's going on around him. He knows that the club has been in talks with free-agent pitcher Ervin Santana. And he already knew what it was like to pitch with trade speculation swirling around him.
His status with the Houston Astros last year was uncertain from the first day of spring training to the day he was dealt to the Orioles in a midseason deal for L.J. Hoes, Josh Hader and a compensation draft pick.
So, while the Santana rumors were blowing up on social media Saturday afternoon, Norris took the mound and pitched like a guy who didn't have a worry in the world. He delivered his second scoreless outing of the spring, giving up just two hits and striking out four in the first of two split-squad victories over the Boston Red Sox.
Norris said Sunday morning that he wasn't keeping up on the intensifying situation regarding Santana, but he has been aware of the speculation that one of the other starters could be traded if the Orioles sign another free-agent pitcher.
"From the business standpoint, we all have to be cognizant of what's going on, and the more I play, the more I understand the business side of it and all the rest,'' he said. "I didn't necessarily know what was going on yesterday, per se, but obviously he's been in talks the last couple weeks and months coming into spring.
"He still doesn't have a job, so obviously I wish him well. That affects us a little bit, but the only thing I can control is going out there and pitching and doing my work here for Baltimore and preparing for a season. So, as far as where I am in the rotation, that's not necessarily the No. 1 priority for me. I just want to go out there and help this team win games. I just go out there and pitch and that's all I really control."
Though no one has officially projected the rotation for the regular season, Norris is considered one of the top five starters. There also has been talk that he could morph into a closer candidate if the need arises. Until things shake out, Norris said he just wants to enjoy his teammates and keep pitching well.
"You never have this game figured out or this business figured out,'' he said. "You've just got to try to be comfortable. The more comfortable you are with the guys in a new clubhouse, the better off you're going to be. I've been very comfortable, obviously coming over in July, and I'm very happy with the Baltimore Orioles organization and everything, so I couldn't be happier in that regard.
"But I know I've got to go out there and work and continue to do my job. You've got a heightened awareness of what's going on around you, but control the things you can control because it's your career."
