The case for dynamics in canonical LQG
In this blog I have tried to give an overview of various (surelyy not all) lines of research, even if they are not too likely to be viable in the long run. I have coved things such as conformal quantum gravity, Garret Lissi´s E8, topological geometrodynamics, and, recently, the new idea of 't Hooft (I am still waiting for the paper covering the quantum part). Most of this approaches have almost null follow up. For example the last paper of ' t Hooft has only one citation so far, despite the fact of he being a top notch physicist.
This mean that we are left with only three approaches with a wide coverage, string theory, of course, LQG and, far behind this two, the non commutative theory of Alain Connes. Well, if someone has read the book "three roads to quantum gravity" by Lee Smollin (I didn´t) he will be somewhat surprised that I don´t mention the twistor theory of Roger Penrose. After reading the last chapter of the Penrose´s book "the road to reallity) describing that theory and it´s state of development I think it is too far of being a theory of quantum gravity. If I have to choose I would bet for the euclidean quantum gravity approach advocated by Hawkings instead, but I am not too sure if someone keep publishing in that topic nowadays.
Some people find this discouraging. For example Mitta Pitkanen, the creator of TGD, asked some mounths ago about the reason string theory was so majoritary. I guess that the reason for this is easy to understand. String theory strongly relies in ideas of particle physic and quantum field theory. As far as most theoretical physicists have this background it is very natural that from the standard model they would go to string theory. That also explain why LQG has also a reasonably good amount of followers. It is the natural approach to quantum gravity for people with a deep implication in general relativity ideas. In fact possibly a lot of people who a few year about hold their hopes in twistors or euclidean quantum gravity have gone into LQG nowadays. And it also explains the relative success of NCG. Simply mathematicians follow the work of a field medalist in a work bases in the standard model, that is a theory expressible in fiber bundles language so they can learn it relatively easy, and is near to the things they know. People simply follow natural developments of the theories they know well. Or at least that is my opinion.
Ok, this has been a long prelude to somewhat justify why I am writing the actual topic of the post, pertaining to LQG research. After I had said in previous posts that I was becoming progressively more and more centered in string theory, and that I was becoming progressively more skeptic in LQG. Well, the reason is that I hadn´t seen previously any discussion of this particular topic and I think it deserves some attention. Surely there is out there people lot more qualified to cover it in a blog/forum, but as far as I know nobody did.
Let´s state the arena to understand the problem. In canonical LQG one tries to solve the constraints appearing when one tries to go from the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian to a Hamiltonian. Doing an slice of spacetime and a change to the Astekhar variables one ends up with three constraints, a Gauss constraint, a diffeomorphism, or kinematic, constrain and a dynamical constraint. The first two can be solved in what is known as a spin network (which now are going to be very popular in the string community also, because the have recently been used, in a very different framework, to almost prove the Maldacena conjecture). Basically an spin network is a graph. The edges are labelled by representations of SU(2) and the nodes by intertwiners, which are distinct ways of extracting the identity representation from the products of representations of the incident edges. Loosely speaking a given spin network represent the gravity field at a given instant of time. IF the canonical LQG program would be complete one would have a dynamical constraint that would give the evolution in time of a given spin network. But that has proved to be a very hard task. I thought that because of that LQG people had gone along with spin foams or with causal triangulations. What I didn´t know is that there was a relationship between canonical LQG and causal triangulations. I had knowledge of this by a somewhat unusual route, beginning in a recent paper of Fotini Markopoulus that lead me to a paper by herself and Lee Smollin, arXiv:gr-qc/9702025. There he argues that according to an idea of Penrose the very idea of fluctuations of the metric could be invalid in a theory of quantum gravity. The reason is that the causality depends on the metric, and that if this fluctuates the window is open for violations of causality. In view of this he believes that it would be of greater interest to keep trace of causality and the quantum fluctuations would fuzz the meaning of points and events. Smollin and Fotini propose a somewhat different approach.
The key point is that LQG is a theory where the area operator has a discrete spectrum in the sin networks and that suggests that there is a discrete length and time. In this framework there are discrete quantum analogues of both null rays and spacetime events. The latter are sharply defined because they are indeed defined in terms of the coincidence of causal processes. Quantum amplitudes are then defined in terms of sums over histories of discrete causal structures, each of which are constructed by a set of rules that respect its own causal relations. This is, I gues, the general justification of the approach of causal triangulations (I never have readed a dedicated paper about that topic). The interesting thing is how they relate it to canonical LQG. It is quite well explained in the paper how the proceed:
Each such structure, which we take as the discrete analogue of a spacetime,
is foliated by a set of discrete spatial slices, each of which is a combinatorial
spin-network. These discrete "spatial slices" are then connected by "null"
edges, which are discrete analogues of null geodesics. The rules for the
amplitudes are set up so that information about the structure of the spin
networks, and hence the quantum state, propagates according to the causal
structure given by the null edges.
The dynamics is specified by a set of simple rules that both construct
the spacetime networks, given initial spin networks, and assign to each one a
probability amplitude. Each spacetime net is then something like a discrete
But as I said before there is no dynamic constraint in LQG, where do these "simple rules" come from? By consistency with microcausality. I guess that the whole point is to use the rules of causal triangulations to the spin networks instead of simplices (If I am not wrong the causal triangulations are rooted in Regge calculus which is based in a discrete approach to path integral using simplices to represent space time). Supposedly he gives a rules that could led to relate the theory to some topological field theories in one side, and to some percolation models for which the renormalization group flow could be well studied. I find curious, to sy the least, that in a theory whose initial purpose was to do a canonical formulation the stop in the middle of the program and regret to a path integral, which is more naturally associated to Lagrangians, but, ok, let´s see what follows, here is idea of how goes the first rule for the 2d case:
Rule 1
Consider an initial spin network Γ0, which consists of a set of edges eij and
nodes ni (where eij connects the two nodes ni and nj). To obtain the 2+ 1
dimensional version of the theory we will restrict 0 to be trivalent, which
means it can be embedded in a two dimensional surface.
The first evolution rule constructs a successor network Γ1 together with a
set of "null" edges which each join a node of Γ0 to Γ1. The rule is motivated
by the idea that the null edges should correspond to a discrete analogue of
null geodesics joining spacetime events.
The result of this rule is a spacetime spinnetwork G01 bounded by the
two ordinary spin networks Γ0 and Γ1 whose nodes are connected by a set
of null edges.In general a spacetime spin network (or spacetime net, for
short) will consist of a set of N ordinary spin network, Γi, i = 0, 1, ...,N,
together with a set of null edges that join nodes of Γi to nodes of Γi+1.
After that a most concrete justification of how the causality lead to that rule. IT continuates a clarification of how to do calculation with taht rule. Later the second rule is introduced, and, firstly, justified, this is the justification.
Rule 2
We might just apply Rule 1 over and over again, but the result would be that
each successor spin network has nodes of higher and higher valency. (This
is easy to see, if each node of Γn has valence P, each node of Γn+1 will have
valence 2(P − 1).) To prevent this from happenning we need a second rule
that lowers rather than raises the valence of the nodes.
Later the tow rules are combined in a transition law. I refer to the reader to the actual paper for the details. Now I stop to make some general concerns. First of all to remember that canonical LQG is centered in pure gravity, i.e., without matter. Naively it was expected that matter could be introduced by assigning to the spin networks, their nodes and edges, additional information that would represent matter. But that idea resulted to be plagued with problems, specially with chiral fermions, anomalies, etc. Aside or more or less conventional developments, such as arXiv:gr-qc/9704013 this approach derived in something that has become famous, the "octopi". You can read the lubos entry, obviously not favourable, about that particularhere or here
To be honest, I didn´t read the papers discussed by Motl, only it´s opinions and some related discussions in physic forum where Bilson Thomas, coauthor of that papers explained some aspects. The reason for not reading as basically that for me the whole idea seemed like a very bizarre way to describe matter in a combinatorial way. The "key idea" was expressed as "matter as a topological defect". Well, that´s fine in some sense, but still it was canonical LQG and it had no time evolution. So who is interested in a a very bizarre and incomplete description of non evolving matter? Nt me, for sure.
Well, as I mentioned before I added a RSS feed to the blog, and recently I saw there a paper by Fottini. Fottini Markopoulo has been promoted, at least in a a subliminal way as a "new Einstein", which looks like kind of an obsession for Lee Smollin. I was doubting, I still so, about writing an entry about this "new Einstein" affair so I decided to read the paper, actualy this one
By the same time I had ended to read a review paper about the status of M-brane interactions in M-theory just previous to the Bagger-Lambert revolution (it actually includes an intro to the Bagger Lambert theory). M-theory doesn´t contain a dilaton and however that in string theory the dilaton is associated to the string coupling constant there is not such a constant and consequently there is not a possibility to do a perturbative series for M-theory. This has some resemblance with one of the worsts problems in LQG, the lack of a classical limit. Being "non perturbative" LQG can´t probe that there is a low energy limit of it that, ideally, would be the Einstein theory. In the paper Fotini states that she has an approach that could lead to that classical limit. The idea is to identify quantities in canonical LQG that are conserved under time evolution and to try to identify them with classical observables. Afther reading this entry the reader can suspect that reading "canonical LQG" and "time evolution" in the same phrase is something shocking. That was which led me to do a fast reading of the paper, to locate the bibliography where that time evolution was explained (the one discussed in this entry of course) in order to get an idea of how to evaluate the meaning of conserved.
I am not going to explain the whole paper. Simply to say that the rules of evolution of the previous papers had been related to something called "Pachner moves". She stated that this moves can be shown not to change the topology of the simplicial complex that can be associated to a graph. This means that LQG doesn´t allow topological transitions. Fotini claims that that is good because classical general relativity neither allows it. I don´t know what she exactly means because in fact general relativity actually allows it, if we restric to the Einstein equations of motion at least, and only if additional restrictions are imposed that topology changes are forbidden. In fact the restrictions that one needs to impose are precisely causality related ones. It is not surprising that an evolution of spin networks based on causality restrictions neither allows topological changes. String theory, on the other side, allows such transitions, by the means, for example, of conifold, I hoe to post some day in detail about this very interesting topic.
Anyway, Fotini finds some invariants in the theory by means of the pachner moves. It dosen´t look a terribly difficult task, aat least superficially, if the pachner moves conserve topology every topological quantity would be conserved, isn´t it?
Because of some reason she makes a brief review of the theory of classification of two-dimensional surfaces based on relatively simple tools such as cross cup products and in general basic homological algebra. It is fine for the people not knowing that but it result curious to read it when string people use the most sophisticated topological machinery available without worrying about trivial things such like most phD in math don´t know such things. However, sh states that the conserved quantities can be probably associated to particles. In this way particles would emerge as topological conserved quantities from pure quantum gravity. She also predicts the existence of an infinity number of particle families. Not too bad thing, at lest if one forgets that there re some cosmological restrictions that heavily indicates that there are only three such families (the actually observed ones). If some additional family would ever be observed maybe LQG would gain a point. It is also notorious that a few mounts ago, doing a search for "fermionic wormhole" in arxiv I found an old paper by Smollin in that subject. There he tried to use the wormhole as a device to get matter from pure gravity. In fact I got the idea that the octonion idea was related to this purpose. This paper by Fotini, on the contrary, gets matter as a conserved quantity in an evolutions which doesn´t allow topology changes. aS far as wormholes are related to topology changes (at least if one doesn´t make some ad hoc considerations to advoid it)it looks like if the ideas has gone under a warped twist.
I remember once again to the readers the usual disclaimer that I don´t intend to present this posts as some kind of definitive review trying to impose some kind of authority argument. My only intention is to make an exposition of the flow of ideas and I leave to the reader to make his own conclusions

thank you for a nice posting. Some comments.
Personally I do not believe in discretization of space-time or spin networks as something fundamental occurring in Planck length scale and forcing to give up the notion of continuum.
I however believe that discretization serves as a space-time correlate for finite measurement resolution and is unavoidable. S-matrix is generalized to M-matrix defining time like entanglement coefficients between positive and negative energy parts of zero energy states interpreted as initial and final states of scattering event- M-matric must be always evaluated for a finite measurement resolution. This is realized in terms of inclusions of hyper-finite factors of type II_1 with included algebra generating states not distinguishable from each other in the resolution used. M-matrix can be identified in terms of Connes tensor product and is highly unique. The challenge is to calculate it.
Second interpretation for the discretization is in terms of fusion of real and various p-adic physics to single coherent whole. Rationals are common to real and p-adic number fields and a subset of rational or at most algebraic points of 8-D imbedding space in some preferred coordinates dictated by symmetries leads to a selection of subset of points defining the intersection of real and p-adic variants of partonic 2-surface implying its discretization. This should also give rise to what I call number theoretic braids required by TGD as almost topological QFT picture.
The basic question is whether it is possible to identify unique discretization satisfying the number theoretic constraints. Quite recently I indeed found a unique realization and also interpretation of the discretization based on the notion of number theoretical compactification stating that space-time surfaces can be regarded either as preferred extremals of Kahler action in M^4xCP_2 or as hyper-quaternionic space-time surfaces in hyper-octonionic space-time identifiable as 8-D Minkowski space. This duality requires that the hyper-quaternionic tangent spaces of these surfaces at each point contain a preferred (commutative) hyper-complex plane M^2 identifiable physically as a plane of preferred polarizations so that gauge conditions have purely number theoretic interpretation. This observation led to a reduction of many "must-be-trues" of TGD to trivialities.
Associativity requirement for the N-point functions leads automatically to discretization since it requires that arguments belong to the discrete intersection of some hyper-quaternionic sub-space M^4 of M^8 with space-time surface.
I have now developed quite a detailed picture about this and finally I can say that rudimentary form of generalized Feynman rules has been identified in TGD framework with lines of Feynman graphs replaced with light-like 3-surface and vertices with 2-D partonic surfaces.
One important element is the generalization of conformal field theory to symplectic QFT: symplectic invariance combined with the analog of fusion rules implies that multilicative symplectic contributions to N-point functions vanish as two arguments co-incide. This provides an explicit realization for the finiteness of quantum TGD implied by very general arguments.
The construction and classification of symplectic QFTs would be a fascinating challenge for a mathematician.
For more details see the postings at my blog or the article TGD: What Might be the Basic Principles.

Hi Miita, welcome here again.
The great thing about discretization of spacetime is that, if truth, it yields a predicition, and, more important, that prediction could be cooroborated in a very near future now that the GLAST satelite is out.
SO it is not necesary to risk and opinion and it is enoguth to wait a little and see, for example by keeping an eye on http://blogs.nasa.gov/cm/blog/GLAST
About M-atrix theory in strng theory I can´t say too much, I have readed the usual chpaters in the usual books. I hope to read a review article on the subjecto very soon.
And about the subject of Matrix theory on your TGD, and how it rises discretization, well, if i understand correctly you say that some correlation of some operators is discretized, isn´t it? if so it would be in a similar satus to LQG where it appears as the spectrum of the area operator. it sounds interesting if that´s the situation, it wuld be fien to see the exact math behind it.
And about the p-adic appeariance of discretization, yes, of course, the whole reason people studies p-adic numbers in string theory (p-adic strings) seems to be that measurements always give rational values. You say that you are more sopecific about this particular by using quaternionic and octonions, and numeric compactifications, but I cant´follow the detaills (among other things I don´t know about octonions).
I have just seen the pdf you linked here (it is not right linked here ,but I could acces to it from your web) and it seems more detailled than previous ones,. I´ll try to see it and maybe write a post it here if I understand enought of it to say something coherent.

Young entrepreneur makes a splash
Parsons' company makes fishing map
June 15, 2008
Steamboat Springs — Molly Parsons enjoys bossing her dad around.
The 16-year-old Steamboat Springs entrepreneur handles the business side of Streamside Publications LLC, a company whose bread and butter is fly-fishing on the Yampa River. Her dad, Peter Parsons, and business consultant Scott Ford each hold less than a quarter of the company.
She holds 51 percent and has worked with the company since age 14.
One of the toughest parts is "making sure we actually do meet our deadlines," Molly Parsons said, "because we'll say, 'This is a great idea' and then sit on it."
The company's latest release is a map of public fishing spots on the Yampa downtown and in the Chuck Lewis State Wildlife Area. The guide includes photos of the river and illustrations by local artists. It was set to be available in stores today, for $9.95.
Peter Parsons and Ford are avid fly fishermen. Molly Parsons also fly-fishes.

"Scott, my dad and I created the map off the basis that people will come to Steamboat and want to fish but don't have time to read a whole guidebook," Molly said.
If they do want a whole guidebook, however, Streamside Publications offers one. "Fishing in the 'Boat" has been available for two years for about $20. Ford wrote the text for the guide in the early 1990s. The tear-proof and waterproof map makes the guidebook look amateurish, Ford said.
"Compared to the map, it's goofy," he said.
Ford said Steamboat is a great place for fly-fishing.
"This is such a rare river in that you can catch six species of freshwater fish within minutes of downtown," he said of the Yampa. Visitors frequently ask retailers where they should go, Ford said. The map provides those answers.
Molly Parsons has handled the day-to-day business operations of the company for the past two years, Ford said. She takes care of retailer relationships and finances. Molly will be a junior next year at Steamboat Springs High School.
"This is my first business experience," Molly Parsons said. "I would say much has been learned from it."
The map will be available at Epilogue Book Co., Steamboat Flyfisher, Straightline Outdoor Sports, Bucking Rainbow Outfitters and Ski Haus, Molly Parsons said.
Streamside will donate $1 from the sale of each map to the Yampa Valley Stream Improvement Charitable Trust. Two dollars from each guidebook goes to the trust. They've sold just less than 1,000 books, and Molly Parsons has made enough money to pay to board her horse, Sparrow.
"The goal is to learn business and improve the river as much as it is making money," she said. She's interested in pursuing business but is keeping her options open.
Molly Parsons has made about $2,000 during the past two years, and she estimated she works five or six hours a week for Streamside. She also works at Epilogue.
Ford said the project has been fun for him and Peter Parsons, who runs a computer chip design company, Pinpoint Solutions. Ford does much of the writing for Streamside, and Peter Parsons does some of the graphics work. They are happy to leave the business side and check writing to Molly Parsons.
Ford said he enjoys working with young entrepreneurs and is impressed with Molly Parsons' knack for her job.
"From my perspective, I've seen her maturity grow from 14 to 16," he said. "Her business sense has really grown."

Beau Brummell was the ultimate 'dandy', or well-dressed man. In the 19th century, he was a frequent patron of the tailors around London's Cork Street. By 1803, some had moved to Savile Row in the West End. It wasn't until 1846, though, that Henry Poole, the 'Founder of Savile Row', opened the street's first 'bespoke' tailoring practice.
The term 'bespoke' relates to when the fabric for a suit was 'spoken for' by an individual customer. Famous clients who have frequented the 'golden mile of tailoring' include Prince Charles, actor Jude Law, Winston Churchill, Lord Nelson and Napoleon III.
Bespoke menswear is gaining in popularity and the latest figures show that around 7,000 suits are made on Savile Row and surrounding streets every year by Savile Row Tailors.
In 2004, The Savile Row Bespoke Association was founded to protect and develop bespoke tailoring in the area, with member tailors required to put at least 50 man hours into each suit. Mark Henderson, Deputy Chairman of Gieves and Hawkes, chairs the SRB, based at No. 1 Savile Row, on the Gieves and Hawkes premises.
Neighbors of Gieves and Hawkes on this prime piece of tailoring real estate include Henry Poole, Anderson and Sheppard, Hand and Lock, and Norton and Sons.
The principles of craftsmanship and service established by Henry Poole remain today and have been exported all over the world – from Hamburg to Hong Kong.
By the early 1990s, interest in the bespoke suits of Savile Row was on the wane. Tailors were having difficulty connecting with their audiences. But help was close at hand.
Three tailors began to breathe new life into the industry. Ozwald Boateng, Timothy Everest and Richard James broke from the Savile Row mould, a move that PR consultant Alison Hargreaves described as the 'New Bespoke Movement'. The work of this new generation peaked in 1997 when they were featured in Vanity Fair.
The three tailors altered their shop fronts and used marketing and publicity to advance their cause. Their work challenged the traditional Savile Row styles and offered twists and a sense of color. The three men pushed the envelope of modern suit making to create more contemporary silhouettes and bolder fabrics.
Their aim was to attract celebrities and sell through supermarket chains, both nationally and internationally. They revitalized the tailoring industry, not only in London, but throughout the world.
In Asia, Hong Kong has numerous tailors who command as much respect as London's tailors on Saville Row. Senszio is one of the leading traveling tailors of today, bringing its tailoring heritage to the wider world.

How do you keep going when the Crossfit progress just isn't happening?
As you know (if you read my last post, which I'm sure you did because you are awesome) I recently decided to postpone becoming a Crossfit coach so that I could focus on getting married (IN 7 DAYS HOLY SH*TCAKES BATMAN!!!!) and on my new job. This meant that I could put a bit more time into focusing on improving my own personal crossfit skills while I am off work in August.
Which is a great plan. A brilliant plan even….IF IT WERE WORKING…WHICH IT IS NOT!!!!!
(Sidenote: I'm getting married in 7 days, I apologize if I seem a bit spastic…I am).
So here's the thing, I've been going to the gym to work on my stuff – thinking this will be great, I'll learn some new skills (rope climbs, handstands) and work on my lifts (particularly the back squat and the snatch) – however, what has actually happened is that it appears that I have completely forgotten how to do anything crossfit related.
It's like an epic sh*tshow in my head around Crossfit. It seems that while everything in other areas of my life is jumping forward, my crossfit skills are regressing to a childlike state.
What does this mean? It means I have had to take weight off the bar – OFF!!! on many of my lifts. My strength is decreasing rather than increasing. The other day, I was working on my strict presses – and only worked with 30 kg. 30!!! For 5 sets of 5. 2 months ago, I did this with 35kg fairly easily. WTF, Crossfit Gods, WTF?
Okay, so the press is a disaster, but that's okay, I still have the snatch.
As I mentioned I went to the lovely Queen T's weightlifting class and was snatching like a pro.
Then apparently I suffered from a head trauma because when I went in to practice the snatch yesterday….nothing was working. Nothing! I couldn't get any of the pulls right and my hip thrust (or pull, whatever you want to call it) was nowhere to be found. I have seen turtles that moved faster than that barbell was yesterday.
And of course, my first unassisted strict pull-up remains nowhere to be seen.
So all of this has added up to a sudden desire to just throw my hands up and take up crocheting. Seriously, I think I could make an awesome scarf or crochet chicken or whatever…as long as it didn't involve lifting a bar over my head.
So the question becomes – when nothing is going right, how do you keep going?
Sure, there's the love of the sport. Sure, there's the not wanting to get fat. Sure, there's your friends at the gym.
But sometimes that motherfracking bar makes me so motherfracking angry!!!!!!!!
So here's where I need your help. What do you suggest I do to help me get through this motivational (and skills) slump? Should I take a break? Step away from the gym for a bit? Should I focus only on the things that are going well? Should I pick one "goat" and work on it until the problems so away??
Help me Crossfit world, because today, I seem to have left my motivation in my other pants.
DISCLAIMER: This post may be the result of some pre-wedding induced hysteria. I may be fine in 8 days. But if not….what should I do????????
6 Responses to " How do you keep going when the Crossfit progress just isn't happening? "
By now, you will be 1 day away from the big day, so I hope you're gonna have a great time!
About your CrossFit issues, we all hit a plateau at some point in our training. Whatever sport or activity you are training for.
My advice would be to take a little time off or at least with less pressure on performance.
Try new sports or activities and have fun with it!
Recently I tried Rock Climbing and I loved it. I'm never gonna be a great climber: not flexible and too heavy, but I cant wait to go again!
After a few days, you will feel this new wave of energy and excitement for CrossFit and all your super powers will slowly come back to you!
Have an awesome time at your wedding and I look forward to seeing you kick my b*tt again at the box.
Well, the love of the sport? Not wanting to get fat? Your friends at the gym? lol. Those are exactly what keep me going.
I deal with this a lot because I'm never as good as I think I should be and I work out with people who are a lot better than me. What I do when I really start getting down on myself is train my strengths. Pick something you're good at and really rock it. Picture people in the crowd cheering you on because you're so damn good.
Like you said, you're getting married in a week. So, if you don't feel like CrossFitting…don't CrossFit. But if you can't stay away from the box, just go when you want. No pressure, right?
Oh, Rae.. RELAX!!! 🙂
Your body is under so much other stress from everything outside the box, that in this situation, I think working out may not be helping (when usually I'd prescribe more exercise to someone stressing out!).
Ease into the new job, GET FREAKING MARRIED, and chill. Then go back into class, set a plan, and rock it. Yes, work one goat at a time, maybe one lift and one skill. But right now it seems like it is mostly mental and not that you have lost all of your strength.
you'll get back, girl!!
First, congrats on the upcoming wedding. That has to be super-exciting!!!
As for the 'CrossFit' problem… welcome to the community. You truly haven't become a part until you hit that 'wall'.
Good news is it's easy to get over…
Bad news is… it will happen a couple more times. Remember, in CrossFit you will ALWAYS be learning a new skill.
My suggestion is to take a break. At least until after your wedding. Get your head straight. You have so much going on in that head of yours that using your brain to sharpen your skills just may not be in the cards until you clear your head from some stress (ergo… get married!!!)
Second, get back to basics. Make sure you have that shit mastered.
And finally, do a skill that you know you can do.. and repeat it for a while. Gain the self-confidence in a known skill before you move on to the unknown.
Best of luck.
-Oh, and have a freakin' blast at your wedding!!!

BERLIN (AP) — A German opposition lawmaker's suggestion that authorities could subsidize paid sex for patients who require nursing care has drawn a critical reception.
Elisabeth Scharfenberg, the opposition Greens' spokeswoman on care policy, told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper she could imagine authorities "financing sexual assistance." The newspaper said the idea is based on a system in the Netherlands, under which applicants must prove a medical need and show that they can't otherwise pay for a sex worker.
Lawmaker Karl Lauterbach of the governing Social Democrats told Monday's Bild daily that "we don't need paid prostitution in homes for the elderly, and certainly not on prescription."
The German Patient Protection Foundation said people who have to fight for help on basic matters such as washing and eating have other concerns.

File photos A s general manager Billy Beane, left, and Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge. File photos 3 shares BY BRENDAN KUTY bkuty njadvancemedia.com NJ Advance Media for NJ.com NEW YORK If you step on it, it s only an hour and a half drive from Aaron Judge s hometown of Linden, Calif., to Oakland. That short trip was a factor among a few that could have deprived the Yankees from their new face. When the A s selected Judge in the 31st round of the 2010 draft, he gave serious consideration to signing with them, he said before Friday s game against Oakland at Yankee Stadium. There was a thought that maybe I could do this out of high school, Judge said. Fortunately for the Yankees, Judge passed on the opportunity. And after three years of starring at Fresno State, New York nabbed him with the 32nd overall pick and a 1.8 million signing bonus in the 2013 draft. This Yankees lineup with Torres looks scary This Yankees lineup with Torres looks scary It may not be long until the New York Yankees welcome Gleyber Torres to Yankee Stadium. Here s what the lineup might look like. Hint It s not great news for Chase Headley All he s done since then is become the 6 foot 7, 270 pound symbol of the youth movement that s changed the complexion of the Yankees. So far this season, the right fielder is far and away the favorite for the American League Rookie of the Year and he s in the MVP conversation. He s smashed an MLB leading 15 homers with 30 RBI, a .315 batting average, a cannon right arm and disarming, easygoing personality that was on display on the Tonight Show. But if not for a few priorities, Judge could have been doing it all while wearing green and yellow. No. 1, Judge said, was that as an 18 year old, he didn t feel wasn t prepared. I kind of knew right away that I wasn t ready physically and mentally to go out in the real world and play professional baseball, he said. No.2? His parents, Patty and Wayne, and his brother, John, are teachers. He liked the idea of college. They did, too. They said, This is your decision. You re 18. We don t want to influence your decision at all. But if you want to ask for our opinion, we re here for it, Judge said. So, obviously, at 18, I said, What do you guys think? I m kind of leaning on you guys a lot and my agent. So http://www.yankeesfanaticsjersey.com/nathan-eovaldi-jersey-c-3.html, what do you think? They leaned toward college. You could go there for a couple of years. See how that is. You could get drafted again, Judge said his parents told him. But you might as well get started on your education, something to lean back on. They were a big influence on that. And No. 3? Staying close enough to home was big for Judge at the time. The drive between Fresno State s campus in Fresno, Calif., is just a little more than two hours from Linden. I wanted to stay on the West Coast, he said, be close to home, be close to family.

Find NJ.com on Facebook 59 shares BY BRENDAN KUTY bkuty njadvancemedia.com NJ Advance Media for NJ.com Looks like Clint Frazier has made a bit of a change. When the Yankees traded for Frazier, their current top outfield prospect, last season, he talked about making a few adjustments to his swing with Triple A Scranton/Wilkes Barre s hitting coach. He also struggled. In 25 games, Frazier hit just .228 with three home runs and a .674 OPS. Things got better, though. In spring training, Frazier more than held his own, hitting .273 with a homer and eight RBI in 22 games. And, entering Thursday, Frazier was hitting at a .253 clip with eight bombs and 28 RBI in 41 games. And how soon could Torres end up in the Bronx? At the plate, I think he s more selective. He was chasing a lot of stuff down and away, a lot of breaking balls outside of the strike zone in 2016 . This year, his foundation is much stronger. You can see that he s started feeling comfortable and he s driving the ball to all the fields. This kid has got some pop. The ball jumps off his bat http://www.yankeesfanaticsjersey.com/andrew-miller-jersey-c-4.html, manager Al Pedrique said May 3. Could the improvement be a result of something he s doing differently at the plate? Maybe. Maybe not. But something definitely looks different. In fact, it looks like Frazier has gotten into a bit of a lower crouch at the plate maybe what Pedrique was talking about when he said his foundation has improved. Take a look at a homer from 2016 And now a homer from 2017 Notice that Frazier was standing a bit straighter in 2016. Of course, that s just one clip, but go back and look at others and you ll see the same thing. Yankees left fielder Brett Gardner recently credited his power surge on getting into his legs more, which assistant hitting coach Marcus Thames explained as basically the same idea as a basketball player getting low on defense. It appears Fraizer may be doing the same thing. Brendan Kuty may be reached at bkuty njadvancemedia.com. Follow him on Twitter BrendanKutyNJ. Find NJ.com Yankees on Facebook. Yankees Judge s Chambers the latest fun fan outreach program Lucas Comment Updated on May 26, 2017 at 3 10 AMPosted on May 26, 2017 at 2 56 AM Fans sit in The Judge s Chambers for New York Yankees rookie Aaron Judge at Yankee Stadium on Monday. Fans sit in The Judge s Chambers for New York Yankees rookie Aaron Judge at Yankee Stadium on Monday. 45 shares BY ED LUCAS For The Jersey Journal This past Sunday, the Ringling Brothers Barnum Bailey Circus played their last performance after a remarkable 146 year run as The Greatest Show on Earth. One of its founders, the legendary showman P.T. Barnum Johnny Barbato Jersey, knew a thing or two about drawing crowds and entertaining fans. Barnum who once founded a minor league baseball team in his hometown of Bridgeport, Connecticut died about a decade before the Yankees were established, yet he would likely be proud of what the Bombers recently did to add a little levity to the Bronx. At the start of their homestand this past week http://www.yankeesfanaticsjersey.com/dellin-betances-jersey-c-2.html, the Yankees introduced a special section in right field called The Judge s Chambers in honor of their slugger on the rise, Aaron Judge. Framed by faux wood panels, fans seated in the 18 seats in this area are given judicial robes and foam gavels to add to the merriment as they cheer on the eponymous star. Reaction to this attempt to bring some extra fun to an often stoic stadium has been mixed and heated. Some fans welcomed it, while many others have criticized the move on talk radio and in the papers as un Yankee like. They feel that it s bush league and takes away from what s perceived as a Yankees tradition of nobility, class and pride, all to promote a player who hasn t even finished a full season in the majors. But I say hogwash! The fact that fans have been lining up during batting practice to have pictures taken in this new section means that the Yankees whose attendance has been languishing despite a first place record have created something to entice folks back to the Stadium. Social media, the best way to generate buzz these days, is filled with photos of The Judge s Chambers. If the ticket buyers enjoy it, and it prompts others to head to the box office, who are we to argue with that business strategy? Judge himself says he gets a kick out of it. The extra attention doesn t seem to have fazed him one bit. The notion that the mighty Yankees have always been above promotions like this, or that George Steinbrenner would have disapproved, is silly. In the 1970s and 80s alone, the Boss looked on as Dracula capes were distributed for Sparky Lyle s The Count entrances, Reggie Jackson brand candy bars with bright orange wrappers were handed out to fans and a goofy mascot named Dandy, a pinstriped version of the Philly Phanatic, roamed the stands at the hallowed House that Ruth Built. Fans loved Ralph, one of the team s original broadcasters, not so much for his play by play, but for his postgame wrap up show, Kiner s Korner. From the Brooklyn Dodgers Dem Bum s Section to the Mets K Korner for Dwight Gooden, baseball teams have always carved out spots for fans to cheer on their favorites. One of the first was Greenberg s Gardens at the old Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, named for Hank Greenberg. When Ralph Kiner replaced Greenberg on the Pirates in the 50s, it became Kiner s Korner. Corporations have sponsored these sections in recent years, with McDonald s Big Mac Land for Marc McGwire in St. Louis and Warner Brothers Mannywood for Manny Ramirez in L.A. being two of the more notable ones. The closest thing Major League Baseball has ever had to P.T. Barnum in ownership was Bill Veeck, who added spectacle to his ballparks to draw fans when his teams were less than stellar. In 1960, he installed an exploding pyrotechnic scoreboard at Comiskey Park for the rare occasions when one of his White Sox hit a home run. Yankees manager Casey Stengel was so amused by it that he came up with his own counter. When a Yankee homered at Comiskey, Casey would stand on the top step of the visitor s dugout waving sparklers. Barnum himself dreamed up one of the most outlandish methods of boosting ticket sales. When admissions to his Circus Museum on Broadway were flagging in the late 1800s, he put up big signs that said Come inside to see our amazing Egress! Curious patrons paid full price to view this mysterious new attraction. They dutifully followed a trail of signs saying This way to the Egress! They all led to a door that said, Here it is, our fantastic Egress, come on through, never realizing that egress was actually the Latin word for exit. Unlike Barnum, the Yankees are trying to get patrons heading to the entrances, not the exits. If the Judge s Chambers section helps to achieve that goal, then I hope it stays in session for a long time to come.

Single-Payer Would Be a Good Start, but Real Health Equity Means Tackling Economic DisparitiesTruthout
Dana Brown, of the Democracy Collaborative, writes for Truthout about tackling the healthcare gap by addressing economic inequality.
The horrifying specter of Trumpcare, the shortfalls of Obamacare and the continued rise in overall health care costs in the United States have provided an important opening for proponents to put single-payer back on the table. Attempts at creating a national health insurance scheme have come close but failed several times before in US history. However, while it is imperative to ensure that every American has equal access to quality care, single-payer is insufficient when it comes to ensuring our right to health and well-being.

But I can't find any other reference or more info on it.
A high quality GM library would be a nice addition to anyone's arsenal, and coming from Garritan, I can safely predict it'll be great.
Does anyone know more about this?

Earlier this week my daughter had a play date with one of her good friends. She was super excited to go to her girlfriend's house (as she always is). At bedtime, we were talking about what she and her friend N. were going to do and my daughter with a huge smile on her face said that they were going to do some pole dancing.
"Pole dancing?" I repeated with a bit of surprise in my voice.
All I could think was whether or not she stumbled upon some inappropriate Youtube video when I wasn't looking. And that I should really keep better tabs on her computer use......
Trying to sound very nonchalant, I then asked, "What do you do when you pole dance?"
I tried to stop the thoughts of her spinning around a pole.
She innocently explained with a giggle how she and her friend liked to use PVC pipe (scraps that they found in her friend's garage) to make batons which they twirl around while dancing in the grass.
With a huge sigh of relief I said, "Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun."
Funny how 10 years ago, I wouldn't have even made this crazy connection---my how times have changed.......
