Recovery Run and the Brick on My Wrist
Back to today's run: Fortunately, I know the distance of each lap on the fields, as my Garmin Forerunner 305 is now no longer finding satellites. It's now essentially just a big, bulky stopwatch. Kind of disappointing. About 21 months ago I received a factory refurbished one after my original kicked the bucket after just 18 months. So, with an average lifespan of under 20 months, I don't think I want to buy another one. They should last longer, in my opinion.. even if the price is now reduced to under $150 for a brand new one. They're great when they work, but several species of insects can outlive the 305.
Will look into other manufacturers, but maybe one of Garmin's other models will fare better. The 310xt looks nice, but not sure if I want to pay extra for all of those triathalon features. However, the long battery life is nice.
The only other GPS-enabled model with a heart rate monitor is the 405cx. Looks pretty sweet, but have read and heard a lot of not so positive things about the bezel controls. Also, have heard and read the battery life is pretty bad, falling under the advertised eight hours. Hmmmm. Any input is appreciated.
Ran 4.2 miles @ 8:52/mile pace.
Grassy fields.
Upper 70s, sunny, humid.
Barefoot, shorts, short sleeved shirt.

I'm on my 4th Garmin 205/305 and only one death
was my fault. They are fragile, to say the least. Still, they are awesome when they work. I just figure $150 every 18 months really isn't that much. Cheaper than shoes actually.

That's a very valid point, Jeff.

Get a sundial.
- Blaine Moore said...
I made a few sundials in high school. Then I decided they required too much math and got tired of it. :)
I have only had my 305, but too many people have told me that the 405 bezel stops working if your fingers get wet or if you are wearing gloves, and I do too much rain in rain and/or cold.
I'd like to get a 310, maybe one of these days in the not too distant future.
- Thomas said...
Late congratulations on a great race, but don't say that about the Garmin - mine is almost 30 months old and I don't want to shelve out for a replacement!
- RICK'S RUNNING said...
I know a couple of people who have the 405 and they are not happy with them, touch them with a sweaty hand and they play up!
My 205 lasted 3 years without fault before the battery went dead.
i have a friend with a 310 and he rates it, but he's only had it about 5 months, so no long term report yet.
Has you tried cleaning the outer cover of your Garmin?
- Grellan said...
Well done on the Bradbury Scuffle jamie. Gutsy race!
I have my 305 for about 26 months and I have noticed condensation forming on the inside of the screen over the last week - the seal must be gone - still works though.
This guy (http://www.dcrainmaker.com/) has great reviews of all Garmin products and is a mine of information on them. You can even post questions on his blog and who knows he may have a solution for getting your garmin back working.

The visual model to declarative metadata representation to immutable deployment vision is in essence what SD is all about.
The secret to making this approach practical, and thus the key to understanding why SD approaches have become so prevalent, is the word immutable.
Once we get an SD approach right, we no longer have to touch the deployed technology whatsoever. Instead, to make a change, update the model and redeploy.
In a recent Cortex, I bemoaned the fact that as buzzwords go, Digital Transformation is excessively vague. There is yet another buzzword of our times that is suffering the same fate: Software-Defined.
Rare though buzz-adjectives may be among the pantheon of buzz-nouns and the occasional buzz-verb, Software-Defined (SD) has become remarkably pervasive. In fact, it ties together many different, quite disparate concepts into what has become a vague mishmash.
It's time to bring some clarity into the big picture of SD - what it is, and perhaps even more importantly, what it is not.
The Many Uses of Software-Defined
The most concrete use of the SD adjective is perhaps in the phrase Software-Defined Networking (SDN). SDN separates network equipment's control plane (where routing instructions and other metadata go) from the data plane (where the data being routed go), and then shifts the entire control plane to centralized software.
The network, however, is only the beginning. We have SD infrastructure (SDI), SD data centers (SDDCs), SD wide-area networking (SD-WAN), and more. Each of these approaches follows the lead of SDN, shifting control of various pieces of hardware (or virtualized hardware) to centralized, software-based management and configuration applications.
SDI (which includes SDN), in fact, is at the core of cloud computing. Clearly, there's no way to scale a cloud data center if people had to run from server to server making changes.
Furthermore, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) from the telco world also falls under the SD banner. With NFV, telco service providers shift all control to software, so that the underlying hardware is entirely generic. No more dedicated switches, routers, and specialized telco gear - all the hardware consist of generic, white-label boxes.
Software-Defined: Beyond the Network
While the network-centric context of SD in corporate networks, cloud data centers, and telco infrastructure forms the home base of the SD movement, SDI is also an essential enabler of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), core elements of DevOps.
In order to achieve the velocity that CI/CD promise, the ops part of the story must be SD. Instead of ops people managing servers individually, the DevOps team must be able to deploy and manage software automatically via centralized software control. In other words, the immutable infrastructure principle behind DevOps is nothing more than SDI.
In fact, now that virtualization has matured, all the infrastructure from hypervisors down to bare metal is SD.
At the application level, however, the SD story gets more complicated.
Using software to automate the tasks involved in deploying software is nothing new. Developers have been using runbooks for years - scripts that tell various parts of the environment to execute a series of tasks in a particular sequence.
As DevOps has matured, the notion of the mundane runbook has taken on new life, as DevOps vendors automate increasingly broad swaths of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) with 'recipes' or other scripting approaches.
As applications and the environments they run in get more complicated, however, the world of DevOps automation finds itself in a Catch-22: the automation scripts or recipes themselves become increasingly complex software applications in their own right, and thus must go through an SDLC of their own, with all the testing and governance that go along with it.
As a result, we're back to square one, manually creating, managing, deploying, and versioning software.
Does Software-Defined Mean Declarative?
To address this Catch-22, some DevOps tools take a declarative approach. Instead of scripting the environment step by step, the declarative approach enables the user to describe the desired behavior, and then the tool interprets such a description and takes the necessary actions to implement such behavior out of sight of the user.
In fact, in many contexts, when most vendors say SD, they really mean that they take a declarative approach, separating configuration from the underlying implementation. There's more to SD behavior than simply following a declarative approach, however.
For example, HTML (and markup languages in general) are declarative. And while we could certainly hand-code a web page by pecking out HTML, we're far more likely to use a visual tool for that purpose.
When we build a web site using such a tool, we're essentially working with models. The model is a visual, configurable representation of the page that the tool can convert into HTML for browsers to render into the page itself for users to view.
In this example, therefore, we have three different ways of thinking about the page: as a visual model, independent of any particular technology implementation of the page; as the HTML markup for that page; and as the action of the browser itself, an application purpose-built to render HTML into visual pages.
Architects and other shrewd readers will recognize the pattern above as being an instance of Model-Driven Architecture (MDA), or its common implementation, Model-Driven Development (MDD).
Does Software-Defined Mean Model-Driven?
MDA is an Object Management Group (OMG) standard for creating metamodels that represent platform-independent models (our visual model, above) and platform-specific models (the HTML markup in the example), as well as an abstracted approach for turning the former into the latter.
Models, especially visual ones, are in broad use today, but MDA and MDD's best days are behind them. The reason: they didn't deal as well with change as MDA's creators had hoped.
In the MDD world, a developer might build a (platform-independent) model of an application in a model-driven tool and then push a button and out would pop the (platform-specific) source code that represented the working application.
However, if developers wanted to subsequently make a change, they would either need to change the model and regenerate and redeploy all the code (an onerous and time-consuming task), or tweak the auto-generated code itself, thus making it inconsistent with the model.
Round-trip tooling that would take tweaked code and automatically update the model - the holy grail of MDD - has proven impractical.
If we combine some of the principles from MDD with the declarative approach, however, we finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. Instead of the code-generating context of MDA reminiscent of CASE tools of yore, the platform-specific representation for a declarative model consists of a metadata representation of a configuration.
In practice, tools that take this approach create such metadata representations in JSON, XML, or a domain-specific language appropriate to the task at hand. Developers occasionally have reason to view such metadata, but rarely if ever have call to monkey with it directly.
Instead, users - who need not be developers - simply make changes in the model, typically via direct interaction with icons or other visual elements, or by selecting appropriate configurations. The underlying platform takes care of the rest.
The Intellyx Take
The round-trip code-generation vision of MDD proved unworkable, but the visual model to declarative metadata representation to immutable deployment vision is in essence what SD is all about.
The secret to making this approach practical, and thus the key to understanding why SD approaches have become so prevalent, is the word immutable.
Once we get an SD approach right, we no longer have to touch the deployed technology whatsoever. Instead, to make a change, update the model and redeploy.
The most important takeaway from this Cortex: this core SD pattern is fully generalizable. It works with networks, data centers, DevOps-based deployments, and as I'll cover in part two, it's also at the core of the Low-Code/No-Code movement.
It's no wonder, therefore, that Software-Defined Everything (SDX) is rising to the top of the buzzword heap - but SDX is no mere buzzword. It describes the central technological principles behind Agile Digital Transformation.

Jared Sullinger Charged With Domestic Violence, Pleads Not Guilty
WALTHAM — Boston Celtics forward Jared Sullinger repeatedly pinned his girlfriend to a bed and to the floor and snatched her cellphone when she told him she was going to call police during a heated argument inside Sullinger's townhome here on Saturday, authorities alleged today.
Jared Sullinger (David L. Ryan/Globe Staff)
Sullinger, 21, pleaded not guilty in Waltham District Court to charges of assault and battery, intimidation of a witness, and destruction of personal property stemming from the alleged violent incident that ended with Sullinger storming out of the townhome.
District Court Judge Gregory C. Flynn set bail at $5,000 cash. After speaking with the girlfriend, the judge ordered Sullinger to contact her only by telephone or if a third person is present. The girlfriend, Deann Smith, did not seek a restraining order against Sullinger.
Sullinger's defense attorney, Charles Rankin, said in court that Sullinger and Smith were "long-time sweethearts'' who met while both were attending Ohio State University. He told the judge that Smith waited 10 hours before she called Waltham police for help on Saturday.
He also said that on Saturday, Sullinger flew back to his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, for a pre-planned visit with his parents. Once he learned from Waltham police that they had a warrant for his arrest, Rankin said, Sullinger voluntarily returned to Boston where he surrendered to police today without incident.
Sullinger said in a statement, "The experience was humbling and embarrassing for me. Yet I know that this situation has brought both sorrow and embarrassment to my girlfriend, my family, the Boston Celtics organization, my teammates, and my fans. To all of you, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. … I wanted to immediately and publicly apologize to everyone affected by this situation."
During the arraignment, Rankin urged Flynn to focus solely on Sullinger's case and not draw a connection between Sullinger's case and that of Jared Remy, who is acccused of murdering his girlfriend, Jennifer Martel, last month. The day before the slaying, Remy was released on personal recognizance from the same courthouse after an allegation of domestic violence. The case also drew sports fans' attention because Remy was the son of well-known Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy.
"The Celtics were disappointed to learn of the allegations against Jared and are currently gathering more information on the situation, which we are taking very seriously. We will reserve further comment until such point that we have sufficient additional information," the Celtics said in a statement.
In a Waltham police report filed in court today, police said they were called to the townhome shared by the couple around 8 p.m. Saturday. When they arrived, Smith told them that she confronted Sullinger, whom she suspected of cheating on her. The two argued verbally, and the argument intensified when Smith started packing up her belongings, according to the report.
"During this heated argument in the bedroom, Jared pushed her down onto the bed and got on top of her. Deann states she tried several times to get up, but he kept pinning her down and would not let her up,'' Waltham police wrote in the report.
Smith told police that Sullinger threw her off the bed and onto the floor. "He then got on top of her again and would not let her up,'' police wrote.
She said she managed to grab her phone and told Sullinger she was calling police. He allegedly grabbed it out of her hand and then, after pushing her to the ground one more time, went to the garage and drove away.
She told police she knew that Sullinger was scheduled to fly to Ohio. She said she waited until 8 p.m. to call police because it was only by then that she was certain he was out of state. "Once she was able to confirm he was out of state, she called the police to report the incident,'' police wrote.
According to police, Smith had red marks still visible on her chest; her phone was heavily damaged, but still operable.
Sullinger is 6-foot-9 and weighs 260 pounds, according to the Celtics website.
In court today, Middlesex Assistant District Attorney Sarah Ellis said that Smith told investigators that Sullinger has pushed her around and that she felt threatened by him in the past, but that she never called for help from law enforcement until Saturday.
Ellis also asked that Sullinger undergo a mental health evaluation, a request that Flynn refused, saying it was too soon in the criminal justice process to require Sullinger undergo such an examination.
Sullinger is due back in court Sept. 19.

Heavy Metal Mudder Phase II - Part 8: Fan & Oil ExtrasPosted in Project Vehicles on April 1, 2010
For the second time in little over a year we've successfully torn down and rebuilt our '99 Dodge Durango. While Phase I of the project fitted the mighty Mopar with 2 1/2-ton Rockwell axles and a custom multilink suspension, the second leg of the build focused on squeezing in a potent and unique powertrain. Working with the crews at National Speed and Momentum Performance in Wilmington, North Carolina, we've effectively created a mud-slaying package befitting the name Heavy Metal Mudder.
From the Viper V-10 and Atlas transfer case to the Detroit Lockers and 44-inch Boggers, we've left nothing to chance and worked hard to eliminate any weak links. Last month we buttoned up all of the major installation items and were only a few parts away from getting the Mudder moving on its own. We'll bring you the finale next month, but this issue we'll focus on the final touches that made the snake-powered monster ready for the dirt.
Cool Runnings With the engine now running, we began a series of "worst case scenario" tests to try and induce an overheating situation. During a couple low-speed, high-rev tests it didn't take long for our oil and engine temps to reach a little higher that we like. To help cool things down we installed a high-flow pusher fan from Flex-a-lite. The new front mount fan works great with our twin puller fans, and the Durango now stays cool, even with outside temps in the 90s and the A/C on high.
Liquid Insurance Our 8.3L uses a rear sump oil pan from the SRT-10 Ram truck. This pan works well for most wheeling situations, but extreme angles could rob the engine's oil pressure. To add a little extra insurance for off-camber wheeling, we installed a Moroso oil accumulator from Summit Racing. The accumulator is a pressurized canister that holds 3 quarts of additional engine oil. With a flip of a lever our 0-40w Mobil 1reservoir shoots into the oil stream so oil pressure is never lost.
Due to the limited space between the oil pan and the 2 1/2-ton third member, we had to relocate the V-10's oil filter. To complete the filter move and increase oil flow, we modified the filter relocation kit that and machined it to accept larger AN fittings and Aeroquip braided hoses from Summit Racing.
Since our drivetrain is comprised of all high-quality and beefy aftermarket parts, we needed a set of drivelines that could handle the high horsepower, healthy weight, and extreme off-road conditions our Mudder is sure to face. To craft our custom driveshafts we went to the 4x shaft experts at Tom Wood's.
Each Tom Wood's shaft is equipped with a 1410 U-joint at the 2 1/2-ton third member for maximum strength. On the transfer case side our Atlas four-speed uses a 1410 flange mount in the rear and a 1350 CV at the front output.
Because the Durango is fitted with a fully hydraulic steering system from PSC Motorsports, we had to address the pump and orbital for the new engine. The new PSC pump easily bolted in place of the factory 8.3L power steering pump and is tuned to work with our new orbital.

To qualify for 2011 Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests and must offer electronic stability control.
The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
The Dodge Durango was redesigned for the 2011 model year.
The driver's space was seriously compromised by intruding structure. Lower interior intrusion measured as much as 29-30 cm at the service brake and parking brake pedals. Upper interior intrusion measured 21 cm at the upper hinge pillar and 18-19 cm at the instrument panel. The steering column was pushed back 9 cm toward the driver dummy.
Measures from the dummy indicate that injuries to the left lower leg would be likely in a crash of this severity and injuries to the left hip and left foot would be possible. The dummy's left lower leg skin was deeply gouged and torn by the intruding parking brake pedal.
The dummy's face remained in contact with the frontal airbag, but its head still rolled around the left side of the steering wheel toward the intruding A-pillar. The side curtain airbag deployed but does not have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with forward side structure and outside objects. The side torso airbag deployed.
How this test is conducted
This rating applies to vehicles other than the specific model and body style tested.
The Dodge Durango was redesigned for the 2011 model year. The vehicle is derived from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which was also redesigned for 2011. The Durango has a longer wheelbase and overall length to accommodate three rows of seats. Frontal structure is essentially similar to that of the Grand Cherokee, and the seat belts and frontal airbags are identical. Frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee conducted by Chrysler Corporation as part of frontal crash test verification.
Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Dummy movement was well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.
The Dodge Durango was redesigned for the 2011 model year. Beginning with 2011 models built after May 2011, design changes were made to the side airbags to improve occupant protection in side impact crashes. (Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on the driver door or adjacent B-pillar.) The tested car was built after the side airbag changes were made.
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof and a side airbag that deployed from the seat.
Passenger — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
In the test, the strength of the roof is determined by pushing a metal plate against one side of it at a slow but constant speed. The force applied relative to the vehicle's weight is known as the strength-to-weight ratio. This graph shows how the ratio varied as the test of this vehicle progressed. The peak strength-to-weight ratio recorded at any time before the roof is crushed 5 inches is the key measurement of roof strength.
A good rating requires a strength-to-weight ratio of at least 4. In other words, the roof must withstand a force of at least 4 times the vehicle's weight before the plate crushes the roof by 5 inches. For an acceptable rating, the minimum required strength-to-weight ratio is 3.25. For a marginal rating, it is 2.5. Anything lower than that is poor.

Depending on whom you ask, Medicare either had a great week or a lousy one. (Hint: insurers are happy; doctors and hospitals, less so.) On Monday, the sequestration hit hospitals and doctors, whose reimbursements will fall 2 percent. As the Medicare News Group explained, it'll take a while for providers to feel the pain of these cuts, since it takes a while for a routine doctor exam to turn into a paycheck. Medicare recipients face no direct cuts in benefits, although some providers have warned that reimbursement declines could lead to job cuts that in turn will hurt beneficiaries—for example, making them wait longer for appointments.
Meanwhile, Medicare Advantage plans wound up with a raise instead of a cut. These are plans, also known as Medicare Part C, which are run by private insurers paid by the government to provide seniors' care. The Obama administration had proposed a 2.3 percent pay cut for insurers, who instead wound up with a 3.3 percent increase. The Washington Post's Wonkblog has a nice explanation of how that happened—in short, intense lobbying from lawmakers and the insurance industry, plus a change in funding assumptions—along with the impact on insurance company stocks.
MarketWatch's Jen Wieczner analyzes the consumer impact of the Medicare Advantage news here.

The journey that has gotten me to this point, writing a blog about being an Archivist adding Genealogist to my repertoire, has been a long and winding path. Sound familiar? It's a well worn path, as I'm to understand, becoming a Genealogist. And, not unlike how I became an Archivist, the path is neither straight, nor purposeful.
Probably what I love the most about genealogy are the people that I've met. Not just the second cousins twice removed, but also the research librarians who've stepped up to help, or the foreign Archive that waived their (exorbitant, IMHO) copy fee as a professional courtesy to me. Oh there've been plenty of curmudgeons and hang-ups, back in the day when I random dialed people with my surnames, along the way too but for the most part I like to believe that people understand our natural curiosity about our human past.
Curiosity ruled when it came to my ancestors. It is my mom's side of my family that I wanted to research first; my father has an *interesting* family that includes a sister who is the family record keeper, so no point in recreating the wheel. I knew very little about my mother's father; he died when I was less than a year old (as did my father's father). My mom didn't talk about him a lot, but when she did it was always with a bit of melancholy. Sadly, my grandfather had been an alcoholic, and though he had provided for his family I suspect there are aspects of that past that my mom prefers to keep private. What makes things more interesting is that my mom is, as she calls herself, a "menopausal baby". Nice. What that means is that she is that *one* baby born long after her siblings, when her mom was 40. So it is that my mom's mother Francis Jeffrey was born in 1893 and her father Victor Wersel in 1892, and her two sisters, Virginia and Jacqueline in 1922 and 1924 respectively. They were very private people, and I believe because she was 'the baby', my mom wasn't privy to as much of the family's history as she might have been otherwise.
You now know as much as I did, back in 1996, when I started down this path. I was working in the financial field at the time, putting in a lot of hours, but my curiosity had gotten the better of me and I had to find out about my grandfather's family. So it was that I started relying on the kindness of strangers to find my roots. The beauty of it is that by learning it's ok to rely on those strangers, I found a bravery in seeking information, a fearlessness in asking questions, that I had not possessed before.
This passion for information led me to my career as an Archivist, to my love of all things technology, and to Twitter, where I've met many Genealogists. One suggested to me that I should write a blog about my journey and share it with all of you. For that, I will always be grateful.

Two environmental groups have filed federal court papers seeking a ban on genetically engineered sugar beets. With hunger experts estimating 800 million people are chronically malnourished, the Center for Food Safety and Earthjustice actions border on criminal negligence.
Roundup Ready sugar beets aren't the only transgenic crops the groups have attempted to derail. Earlier, the Center persuaded a panel of federal judges in San Francisco to block the planting of Roundup Ready alfalfa. Monsanto is appealing the ruling to the Supreme Court.
Earthjustice and the CFS blame genetically enhanced alfalfa, sugar beets and other crops for a number of woes. Some, such as the potential for contamination of organic and conventional crops, may have merit. Others, including claims that Roundup Ready alfalfa poses a threat to human health, are ludicrous.
The plaintiffs contend Roundup Ready sugar beets are in the same species as Swiss chard and table beets, which can be pollinated by wind over large distances. Because of the possibility of cross-pollination, farmers are concerned their organic and conventional crops will be contaminated.
Neither activist group addresses the possibility that organic and non-GE chard could also be contaminated by non-genetically enhanced sugar beets of other varieties or by crops with similar genetic makeup.
Spokesmen for such groups often claim health risks for transgenic crops without backing those up with scientific evidence. Commenting on Roundup Ready alfalfa, a spokesman for the Organic Consumers Association cited a phrase in USDA's Environmental Impact Statement that says "acute toxicity in mice was observed" from ingesting Roundup Ready alfalfa.
If such had been observed in the testing of Roundup Ready crops, the technology would never have gotten past the drawing board.
The rhetoric reflects a growing divide on food production. In what a speaker at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association annual meeting in San Antonio described as almost "rural vs. urban," environmentalists and farmers and ranchers are battling over a number of issues, ranging from transgenic crops to the use of antibiotics for treating livestock to ethanol.
Although biofuels have the potential to transform the U.S. and world economies and reduce dependence on oil produced in fragile locations, environmentalists have been bashing ethanol and biodiesel because of its perceived impact on food production.
Much of the rhetoric seems to have more to do with perception than reality. It's not that people don't trust science or individual farmers and ranchers, they don't trust big corporations to make their decisions for them.
I tried to describe to an urban friend the crops and livestock coverage our Penton Media franchises provide. "But all that has to do more with industrial farming than real farming," she said. That is what we're up against.

Flying High
There was a time, long ago, when pretty much any understanding of how the universe around us worked had to be self-evident. There were no tools to help with discovery.
There was a time, long ago, when pretty much any understanding of how the universe around us worked had to be self-evident. There were no tools to help with discovery. In those days, simple observation of nature was the driver for the explanation of nature. For example, one could observe that birds fly and birds flap their wings. A seemingly correct conclusion might be that flapping wings creates flight. Using such primitive methodology and basic logic, people often got it wrong.
What's amazing too, is how long many ideas stayed wrong. We've all seen those vintage film clips of the early air pilots trying in vain to get their wing-flapping contraptions aloft. Some of that film was shot less than a century ago.
In manufacturing, one seemingly immortal idea is that those who can't do much else gravitate to manufacturing as a career. The primary requisites for a good paying factory job is a strong back and a reasonably obedient nature. People can come in off the farm, pick up a wrench, and go to work. Decisions on how to do the job are made "off-line" and then handed down through a fairly rigid hierarchy. Most of the data flow is one way—from the top down. Workers are simply an extension of the machinery they operate. Wrong as it is, this idea persists.
Much of manufacturing today is simply too sophisticated and competitive to live with the old school of worker subservience. Successful shops encourage participation in the process up and down the line from front office to shop floor. Some shops are dismantling the front office idea entirely. As a result the manufacturing professional of today is very different from yesterday's. It's a brave new world that rewards skills and training over strength and obedience.
Not only have requirements for getting a job in manufacturing become more stringent, it's become necessary to keep improving oneself to keep a job. But who is responsible for skills acquisition? Although there are changes afoot to try to remedy the current situation, mostly the burden of training potential and existing workers falls on the shops. These shops are more than willing to shoulder the burden because there is such a shortage of qualified people that making your own skilled workforce is the only way. There's significant demand for people who want to learn how to be part of manufacturing. Unfortunately, too many people still don't understand that manufacturing today works not by flapping arms but by creating lift.

UK Libel Suit Tossed Because Any Actual Harm Would Have Been Tiny
from the not-so-harmful deptWhile there still are all sorts of problems with UK libel law, a recent ruling in the UK's High Court tossed out a lawsuit because the potential damages were way too small to merit a trial. Specifically, someone charged a blogger with defamation for a blog post, but most of the content in that blog post was actually based on an article on the plaintiff's own website. From that, the court found that any "additional" damage beyond what was already known from the plaintiff's own article was so minimal that it wouldn't even be worth the cost of a trial.

Tuesday's Tip: Getting the musty odor out of old photos and documents
Today, this blog is turned over to readers to offer their tips. What are some effective and harmless ways to get rid of that odor?
Please share your experiences and comments below.
3 comments:
Maybe it's just me - but that musty smell brings back good memories! My grandmother's basement had that smell. :-)ReplyDelete
When I sold out-of-print and first edition books, I would put really nasty books in a plastic storage tub with one or two clothes dryer sheets and leave them closed up for a week or more. I've even put the sheets in between the pages of books. You want to use the ones that look like thin paper and not the sponge type. Any fragrance will work but something that is pleasing to you is best.ReplyDelete
I can't see why you couldn't do the same thing with photos or documents. I think I would put clean copy paper next to the item to protect it, just in case. I've never damaged a book using this method. Might be worth a try.
Here's another idea: close them up in a plastic tub buried in kitty litter. Not any fancy kitty litter with deodorant, just plain crushed clay kitty litter. After two weeks the smell will be absorbed, longer if its really icky...ReplyDelete

About Our Organization
Welcome to Girls on the Run York, a life-changing, non-profit program for girls in grades 3rd through 8th offered through YWCA York. Our mission is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. The 24-lesson Girls on the Run curriculum combines training for a 5K (3.1 miles) running event with lessons that inspire girls to become independent thinkers, enhance their problem solving skills, and make healthy decisions. All of this is accomplished through an active collaboration with girls and their parents, schools, volunteers, staff, and the community.
GOTR York, an affiliate of the YWCA York, is one of more than 215 councils of Girls on the Run International across the United States and Canada. Girls on the Run® is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. Meeting twice a week in small teams of 8-15 girls, we teach life skills through dynamic, conversation-based lessons and running games. The 24-lesson curriculum is taught by certified Girls on the Run coaches and includes three parts: understanding ourselves, valuing relationships and teamwork and understanding how we connect with and shape the world at large.
Running is used to inspire and motivate girls, encourage lifelong health and fitness, and build confidence through accomplishment. At each season's conclusion, the girls and their running buddies, complete a 5k running event. Completing a 5k gives the girls a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. The result: making the seemingly impossible, possible and teaching girls that they can. Girls on the Run is NOT a running program. You do not need to be a runner to join in the fun!

Ruby Reads: The Genes of Gregoria by David Truskoff – Chapter 3
Posted by greydogg, 99GetSmart
In reading the exchange of long and fascinating letters between the author, an American writer, and his cousin a Russian economist, one can take a trip into reality; real America and the real Soviet Union (Russia) as they both were until 1996. It delves deeply into the Russian psyche and speaks to the future of both countries.
This is indeed a different kind of history book. Soon a new Russia will take shape. There is a consensus among many intellectuals in Moscow that the Russia of the future will be patterned more like the new China than the western concept of a capitalist society. Post Communist Russia has arrived in the midst of world wide economic chaos. 'GENES' is a contribution to the need that situation is creating for better understanding between Americans and Russians.
From the book. . .
"We found him and shot him and killed some of his troops before we pulled out. When we returned we found the Nazi reinforcements, that arrived too late to save the officer, burned all of the buildings and hanged ten people. They claimed there was an informer among them. When I looked up and saw the frozen bodies hanging there, I didn't feel anything. I felt no pity or remorse for being responsible for their deaths. They were just more dead bodies. I had seen so many by then that it was just like looking at trees. I only grieved when one of our partisans died. I broke down when Sergius was killed."
This is a different way of telling a story, but it works. Once again, the world is on fire. In the atmosphere created by the present chaos in Moscow, the Bombing of Belgrad and Kosovo, Russia, and all of Eastern Europe is preparing for major political changes. The Genes manuscript is an overture to the new scene about to be played.

Viciedo homer in 10th leads Sox to win over Mariners
CHICAGO -- Until Sunday afternoon, it hadn't been the greatest of starts for Dayan Viciedo.
The 24-year-old Cuban-born outfielder had a few troubles in the field during the Chicago White Sox' first series against the Kansas City Royals while also going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in the final game.
He came into the series finale against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday at U.S. Cellular Field hitting .133 in 15 at bats.
After sitting out Saturday's game, Viciedo halted the skid, launching the first game-winning home run of his career off reliever Kameron Loe in the bottom of the 10th inning to beat the Mariners 4-3 while also adding a nice outfield assist to save a run earlier in the game.
"I feel very happy," Viciedo said through an interpreter. "I feel like it was my turn to do something to help the team and I'm very happy about what happened."
Viciedo's run-saving assist happened in the seventh, when he fielded a ball off the wall in left and fired a strike to second base to get lumbering Mariners' first baseman Justin Smoak for the inning's first out. Two hitters later, with the game still tied 3-3, Robert Andino hit a ground-rule double to right.
"I hit it hard and I was thinking two out of the box all the way," said Smoak, who went 1-for-3 with a walk. "It bounced right back to him and he made a good throw. If it doesn't bounce right back to him and he doesn't make a good throw, I'm in there."
Considering the White Sox have committed at least one error in five straight games -- including one by Viciedo against Kansas City -- the play stood out afterward.
"I was prepared for it," Viciedo said. "I knew it was a slow runner, so I wanted to get him. I wanted that chance and got a chance to throw him out."
Alex Rios and Adam Dunn also homered for the White Sox (4-2), who again got all of their runs by way of the long ball. Chicago has now drilled 11 home runs in the season's first six games. So far, it's working out pretty well. This was the second straight three-game series win for the Sox, who now hit the road for the first time with a 10-game, three-series swing to Washington, Toronto and Cleveland.
Chicago has also gotten good pitching almost across the board from its starting staff and relievers -- who again saved the day after starter Chris Sale left after seven innings trailing 3-2. Rios hit his solo homer in the bottom half of the inning -- his third in as many games -- to get Sale off the hook for the loss and set up another late-inning win.
"It's a good bullpen," Sox' catcher Tyler Flowers said. "We have a lot of talent out there and they seem to be ready to go every time they're out. It makes it a little bit easier for me when I know they're going to hit their spots and have their good stuff."
Seattle (3-4) now heads home for the first time. The Mariners got another strong outing from starter Hisashi Iwamura, who went eight innings and gave up three runs on just 89 pitches, but it just wasn't enough.
"It was a hard-fought ballgame, it was a hard-fought series," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "We had opportunities there to do something and we didn't take advantage of it and they took it from there."
Sale and Iwakuma each gave up two-run homers in the first inning, with Michael Morse taking a 2-2 pitch deep to left field with Jason Bay aboard in the top half and Adam Dunn matching it in the bottom against Iwamura, blasting a 427-foot shot to right that plated Alexei Ramirez.
After that, the starters settled down and started to control the game. Neither allowed another run until Kendrys Morales hit a solo homer off Sale in the sixth for a 2-1 lead. Until that point, just two of the next 16 hitters following Morse's home run reached base off Sale, and those two were stranded in the fourth.
Iwamura was even better. He retired 16 in a row after giving up Dunn's homer and looked like he might cruise to the finish with a low pitch count until Rios tied it at three leading off the seventh.
Chicago then won a battle of the bullpens for the second straight day, with Matt Lindstrom and Jesse Crain pitching scoreless innings of relief before Reed worked out of a two-on, two out jam in the 10th by striking out Morse. That set the stage for Viciedo's heroics.
"He's so talented and so good," Dunn said. "It's just literally scratching the surface of how good he's going to be. He can do everything. He hits the ball so hard and when he learns his swing and these pitchers, he's going to be a stud for a long time."
NOTES: The White Sox made a change to their starting rotation by flip-flopping scheduled starts for Jose Quintana and fifth-starter Dylan Axelrod.

Observations from the Sunday Night Game
- Jon Kitna has performed excellent for a backup quarterback but the offense really needed Romo last night. I have been noticing for several weeks that Kitna has several holes in his game that are now starting to get exposed. He was allowing the Philadelphia defense to dictate the plays last night by checking down to the safety valve nearly every time they sent the blitz. You have to give your guys a shot down the field when they are one on one or the defense will feel safe to crowd the line and send extra rushers all game long. And as soon as Kitna is on the move you know it is pretty much a dead play if he throws on the run. Romo makes his biggest plays when he is on the move.
- I don't know why it keeps happening but Kitna must get 3 or 4 passes batted down every game. Either he isn't finding the windows to throw through like he should be or he is the unluckiest guy in the world.
- Kitna has to be one of the worst quarterbacks I have ever seen running the two minute offense. The poor clock management in the two minute drill has cost the Cowboys in the last two games. It seems as though part of the reason they are working so slow is due to the game plan of Jason Garrett. Maybe he doesn't trust Kitna to run the two minute offense like he does Romo.
- I don't want to sound like I am blaming the whole game on Kitna. I am not. He has been better than you could ever hope for your backup quarterback to play. But the people who are actually making the comments about Kitna being better than Romo need a reality check.
- I know I am biased, but Jason Witten is by far the best tight end in the NFL. Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates are great receivers but Witten is a leader, is a very good blocker and is also a great receiver. It has gone largely unnoticed, but Witten has really become a vocal leader on the sidelines this season.
- I like the way the team fights but close losses are no longer good enough. I know the Cowboys are playing without their best two offensive players but you have to win the game when you are close in the 4th quarter if you want to be a good team. The defense and the offense both broke down last night at a crucial point in the game. DeSean Jackson had the 91 yard touchdown and Kitna followed that up with an interception on a bad read on his part.
- David Buehler might actually be improving. He still ranks near the bottom of the league in field goal percentage, but the last two games have been very good. Maybe the game winner he hit in overtime against the Colts will be the spark he needed to gain confidence and consistency.
- The Cowboys still have major problems on the offensive line. The running game was awful last night which resulted in a lot of third and long situations. I don't know why the line has so much trouble opening up running lanes but the line clearly needs to be fixed in the offseason.
- DeSean Jackson is a complete idiot. The falling backwards into the endzone was completely classless but I really expect it from him at this point. What was more ridiculous was his behavior during the post game interview on NBC. And I thought Martellus Bennett was bad. DeSean Jackson redefines the word immature for me.
- The whole Tashard Choice getting Michael Vick's autograph is being completely overblown. I don't know why anyone would want to get the autograph of a guy like Vick. We're talking about a guy who flipped off his home crowd in Atlanta, got caught with marijuana at the airport, was involved in dogfighting and brutally killing dogs, and was such a class act after getting out of prison that he was in the middle of a shooting investigation because he can't stop hanging around the crowd that got him in trouble to begin with. And now we are all supposed to forgive and forget and move on? Sorry but I can't. I can't for the life of me understand how Tashard Choice would want his nephew to use Michael Vick as a role model. Get the kid Demarcus Ware's autograph. Get him Jason Witten's autograph. But a guy like Vick? I will never understand that one. But asking the guy for an autograph is fine if you really think that on the field after the game is the time and place to get it.

I just commented on the last posting, but I want to add a few things. Anthony Spencer and Igor played a very undisciplined game in the fourth quarter. Ware didn't have contain on the Vick roll out. Igor shot up the wrong gap TWICE on the last two big McCoy runs and again on the third and short that sealed the game.ReplyDelete
I understand the Kitna interception, but if you play back, it was the second noticeable time Williams stopped short on a route.
The running game was terrible. I have a lot of issues with the offensive line, but look at how Felix was running. He shuffles his feet way too much in holes and he is almost too patient sometimes and the holes develop and close while he sits back and watches. I think he bulked up too much to where he lost some of his explosiveness and there may be too much pressure on him to hit the home run every time. Choice shows better vision in between the tackles and that's ultimately what is missing. Hopefully he can work out the kinks to pass protection and he'll be our complete, all around back. Remember, this was the guy recruited out of high school to replace Adrian Peterson at OU, said by Stoops to potentially be better than Peterson, and then transferred because he was tried of waiting. Going to Georgia Tech hurt him in the draft, but we are talking about potentially a first/second rounder if he continued with OU. Playing time split between him and Murray was his problem. If we have problems finding roles for the RBs, I think there is a very simple solution. Choice, assuming he adds the pass blocking to his abilities, becomes to all around back with a large percentage of carries, Felix slims down and becomes a home-run hitter and change of pace back, while Barber bulks up like he did a few years ago and is our closer/short yardage. I know this isn't ground breaking, but it's becoming more and more apparent. I miss the authority and nastiness Barber used to run with. He was the type of player that would get everyone excited on a 2 yard run with his effort.
I think we did a great job for the most part on containing Vick. There were two huge plays for Jackson and if we take those away we win the game, but that has been the problem all season. Honestly, Ball is absolutely terrible. Whats worse was he was shown yelling at Sensabaugh a couple times for being out of position. I like Sensabaugh to be resigned, but Ball is a chump. For the life of me I do not understand why we didn't sign Rolle, Atogwe, or Ken Hamlin. I liked Hamlin before, didn't have the interceptions, but who really did? That problem was scheme, not talent. (Funny how good the original Roy Williams looks under Zimmer again).
Also, even though he didn't make the tackle, I didn't know Scandrick had that kind of speed. I was mildly impressed and I think Jenkins would have given up much earlier. I also kind of wish Newman didn't let up and wrecked Jackson.
McCray's fumble was pretty scary. The issue there was misjudgment of how much space he really had, probably will be corrected in meetings.
All around, I think we are still talking about a W if Romo is in the game. His ability to throw on the run, sell the draw/play action, and down field throw would have been the difference, especially with so many of their secondary injured.
As I said in the last post, it is essential we find players with nastiness and get in peoples faces to motivate/hold accountable. We need more of that so we can start out games strong (which is a pressing need) and sustain that momentum.
Williams' route wasn't very good but Kitna made a bad read either way. Bad decision + bad route = turnover. I blame Kitna more than Roy on that one.ReplyDelete

If you look back, I think it was only two routes being run, both corners had help over the top, P.A., linebackers sucked up, and there was one or two eagles about to sack Kitna. He makes the read with Williams having essentially one-on-one coverage and his initial break outside he was open. The corner read the route and simply out hustled him to the sideline. No way to blame Kitna over Williams on that.ReplyDelete
But if he finishes the route he gets a hand on it and the worst result is it gets tipped harmlessly out of bounds. It seems like Williams is notorious for taking some plays off or not finishing routes. It's not just this pick, but it seems like a majority of the interceptions this year (Romo included) have come from receivers tipping the ball up in the air and not making a clean catch, running the wrong route/miscommunication, and/or receivers not finishing their routes. A few of those are going to happen no matter what throughout a season, but in that case I blame Williams more than Kitna. Considering William's primary objective during the offseason was route running (getting of the line, staying low, and making better cuts), he hasn't particularly held up his end of the bargain. Again, he scores three/four more touchdowns this season and all of this is history.

Alright you two here comes big bad WBF :).ReplyDelete
Gotta go with it was a bad kitna play with medium fault to Williams. (t-t-t-tie breaker.)
Also to answer your why does kitna get so many balls knocked down. There was actually an article written on that awhile back.
Basically what happens is he throws the ball too low he needs more arc. But he throws that particular throw so badly that it has completely removed several very important plays from the play book. If you'll notice and slow those throws down he is only putting it above the linemen's head maybe a foot. Well your Defensive linemen will stand up and put their hands up and knock that mother down. Other QBs like last nights Texans and Ravens the balls that were batted down they had to jump in the air fully stretched out to knock that ball down. Which removes some accuracy away from their ability to knock it down since it is just jump and pray. Now to stand up and put your hands up you can do that with some degree of accuracy.
My best firend and I watched the game and he couldn't see why was mad at kitna for the loss. He is a great back-up QB but he is really kind of screwing us out of some good plays. Luckily that is offset by our insanely good receivers and Witten. Not to mention T.Choice and F.Jones getting some very good running plays.

WBF one last time:ReplyDelete
I got one more thing to add here and it is going to open a door for you all to kick me right in hindquarters.
Alright. Let's get off the OL backs. For the most part they do fine they aren't absolute star quality. But they do decent enough. Sure they suck just a little at the running game. But I think that is where this seething hatred is coming from.
F.Jones and M.Barber get stuffed 100x times and its the OL not opening holes so we all go ahead and throw our hats in the 'new OL for 2011' arena. Now T.Choice comes in and actually pays attention to where he is running and all the sudden holy crap we have positive running yards. Now not so much the OL problem.
F.Jones is a terribad running back. I think when he started he showed potential but in reality he coveted the first string RB position so he took all the pointers from Marion Barber he could. Including beefing up and blindly running face first into a whole and just power your way through it. Screwing him out of his speed and his talent at running the ball.
T.Choice comes in and runs like a mad man while still paying attention to where he's going and avoiding tackles instead of trying to brute force his way through them.
Do you get what I mean? The OL isn't that bad since we don't get sacked every play and for the most part the pocket stays fairly decent. The running backs are that bad. if F.Jones would find his own style again and play then he would get better. At this point however I think we can use T.Choice and (new draft) and M.Barber.
OMG no he didn't. I did and I'm happy I said it.
I agree on Kitna cutting out big portions of our offense with his batted passes. We can't run a wide receiver screen any more because he can't throw it without being batted or putting it 4 feet over the receivers head and screwing up the timing of the play. I missed the article on the batted passes but it makes perfect sense. I also think he does not look for his passing windows to throw throw in the line like he should. Again, I'm not putting this all on Kitna. He is a backup quarterback. But the offense is clearly suffering without Romo.ReplyDelete
On the running backs, I agree that Felix Jones has proven he isn't a #1 back. And I would have agreed about the offensive line except for the fact that both backs were stuffed repeatedly against the Eagles. Choice and Felix were both terrible but the line wasn't opening up even a sliver of a hole for the running backs. Their poor blocking becomes obvious every time we get into a goal line situation and try to run the ball. The line just can't get it done this season. I think as pass blockers they are decent but our line stinks at run blocking.

wbf(small this time)ReplyDelete
I concede to R2W and move that the statement be stricken from the record.
However. On ASK front I have a huge blame on the receivers as well. They have this idea to knock the ball up in the air if they don't catch it. BAD BAD training. Austin is the worst repeat offender at it. If he isn't going to catch the ball he bounces it a good 5 yards in the air towards the middle of the field. Williams is bad too.
- AnonymousDecember 14, 2010 at 3:26 PM
To WBF's point about the running backs, I think I mentioned this, but Felix shuffles his feet too much in the hole and doesn't have the vision or instinct or maybe too much patience to hit a hole right before it opens. I'm not sure what it is, but if you play back some tape, it seems like he has trouble committing to a gap or when he hits a hole, he is shuffling his feet waiting for another hole to open instead of just plowing through. This isn't true all the time but I see it too often for my liking. I think this may be a mixture of too much pressure to take it to the house and the lose of his explosiveness.ReplyDelete
Barber on the other hand has very little patience or has the most bizarre things happening to him. Whether it's tripping, (R2W is going to hate me for this) Witten wiffing on a goal line block, of the lack of holes, Barber just isn't all there. He needs to bulk up and we need to reserve him to the 4th quarter and short yardage (be our Brandon Jacobs with a nasty attitude and gets the entire team ready to go).
So WBF, I'm with you to a large extent on the RB situation.
I know I'm on this intensity kick, but looking around the league that is what a lot of it comes down to. I look at certain players and ask why not us? I mean, look at the intensity Houston brought after halftime last night with a below average secondary. We show it sometimes (like Saint last year) but then we get embarrassed the next week or get utterly dominated by the Vikings.
The other thing is I think we are seeing the draft catch up to us. Not just 2009, but look past 2008. '07- Spencer has been good, but is VERY undisciplined it seems like every year until week 12, goes on a hot streak, and we say next year will be the year. Marten/Stanback. 06-Carpenter, we all know, and nothing after that. 05- Burnett, Canty gone and spears on his way out. I think this is the story not being reported all that much. As much as we hit on undrafted free agents, we seem to miss during the draft. Look, I am NOT saying we have missed on all the picks or Ratliff in the 7th or that we are going to get great production out of a 5th rounder, but the nucleus of this team has to be shaken up. Ware, Witten, Romo, Newman, Dez, Ratliff, Austin, and the list goes on are all unbelievable players, but there is such a tremendous drop off after that.
I'm confused because I don't think it's a lack of talent for the most part, but a lack of intensity, discipline (BIG TIME), and schematic creativity. New Coordinators, Garrett or another hard nosed HC at the helm, and a good/great draft is what the team is missing. It'd be nice if we had a little bit of attitude and put fear into our opponents, but that is a major undertaking in one year.

You just bought your dream car. You know the gas station you are about to drive past has dirty gas, but it's that tiny bit cheaper and less effort than hanging a U-turn to use the gas station across the street even though you know it has good-quality gas. Standard choice is the dirty option, right? Cheap and easy is the way to go? Obviously not.
Our body is the primary vehicle that we have in life, and it's a heck of a lot more valuable than any car, so why would we fill it with dirty fuel?
The typical poker player's diet on any given "game day" is usually pretty awful, considering the five-minute-per-hour limitation to grab the quickest, easiest snack possible. Add a trip to the bathroom, and you've got three minutes, at most, to spare. And it's even worse when playing live. After a few months, even weeks, all of those chips, cookies, slices of cheese or spoonfuls of ice cream start to catch up on your general health, focus and vitality.
Weight gain is the most commonly discussed and perhaps obvious effect that a bad diet has, but it's not all just about the fat and skinny. There is so much more to what we put in our mouths. It's the fuel that keeps us energized, alert and functioning properly — three things every poker player needs to excel at to be successful.
The concentration and thought processes required in a poker session means you need some serious brain food to stay stimulated and focused. I see countless poker players spending a fortune of time and money on refining their poker skills through all kinds of strategy training, yet not giving their body the nourishment it needs for the brain to function at peak performance.
If this sounds like you, you're cutting your potential short. Here are some healthy snacks (read: brain food) that I suggest to load your bag with each day before hitting the tables. Or for those online grinders, please remember, if you don't have "junk food" available in the kitchen, then you simply have no choice but to eat healthier options.
Please keep in mind that this is not a set meal plan, it's just some suggested options to help deter you from eating lesser-quality foods or drinks between meals and to help your body maintain the energy and focus it needs throughout the day. You should always fuel up before you play and on your dinner break with a nutritious meal.
Blueberries have been labeled a "brain food" because they are packed with antioxidants that help protect the brain and skin. Studies have shown that diets rich in blueberries significantly improved the learning capacity of aging rats. (Source: Blueberries and Brain Health) On top of that, blueberries taste great! So try to snack on a handful of blueberries while you grind.
In the video above, I mixed blueberries with raw nuts and seeds, which are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A and E, all which are known as "brain food." Keep in mind that with everything we eat, balance is vital. So while these pack a powerful punch, you don't want to overload on them either, so try to limit yourself to a handful per day.
Pick up a banana for a quick hunger fix and energy boost thanks to its high dose of potassium, "an essential mineral present in large concentrations inside every cell in the body. In the brain, potassium builds the electrical potential inside brain cells required for electrical signaling between cells. Depletion of potassium from the body decreases the amount of electrical signaling in the brain, resulting in lethargy." (Source: LiveStrong.com)
Speaking of potassium, coconut water is filled with it, as well as four other essential electrolytes that gives your body everything it needs to stay hydrated, including calcium, phosphorus, sodium and magnesium. It's basically an all-natural sports drink, without the added sugar, flavors or colors.
For the chocolate lover, like me, look for raw cacao as a nutritious option to curb your craving. You've probably heard many theories about chocolate being good for you, or a "mood booster." Well, that's true, but only when it's in its raw form and not processed with mass amounts of sugar and dairy to make the chocolate that we know so well today. Raw cacao packs the highest percentage of antioxidants of any other food in the world, as well as neurotransmitters such as dopamine and anandamide that are associated with happiness. It is also the primary dietary source of magnesium, which plays a key role in producing energy for the neurons in the brain, giving you clarity and focus. The brand that I had in this video is the delicious Loving Earth's Coconut Mylk.
Last, taking a product like the Green Nutritionals Green Superfoods that I showed at the end of this video is a must for everyone. I highly recommend you visit your local health-food store and chat with the naturopath about which green-powder goodness is available. I take this stuff every morning when I travel, as soon as I wake up, to give myself a boost of green nutrients for the day. When I'm home, I add a small amount into my green smoothies for an extra kick.
There are many more options available that are just as quick and easy to grab on the go, and of course, that are just as tasty, and I will share more of them in future editions of Stay Stacked. With a little self-control when making your purchases at the supermarket, you could turn your game around in no time.
