The City of Redmond Fire Department (RFD) has adopted the International Fire Code (IFC) as specified in the Redmond Municipal Code (RMC) 15.06-Fire Code. The RFD permit program will be based on Section 105 of the IFC. An IFC permit constitutes permission to maintain, store, use or handle materials, or conduct processes which produce conditions hazardous to life or property. A permit also constitutes permission to install equipment used in connection with such activities. This permission shall not be construed as authority to violate, cancel, or set aside any of the provisions of this code. A permit shall not take the place of any license required by law or other governmental agency.
Operations Inspection Program
The Redmond Fire Prevention Division administers the Operations Division inspection program for the Redmond Fire Department. Inspections are performed at all occupancies not requiring International Fire Code (IFC) Permits within the Redmond city limits except single family residences. Operations inspections are typically completed by fire suppression crews.
Code Enforcement & Special Inspections
Special Inspections are intended to identify code violations or reveal unsafe situations which may present themselves during special events, peak occupancy times, or in response to a citizen complaint.

We're taking a poll. How many of you are fed up to your nose with
cutesy disposable diaper commercials? You know, the 4 year old baby
dancing around showing grandma how dry he is and kissing his soggy
cousin who doesn't wear 'em?
far as we're concerned, disposable diapers belong in that category
of things that should have never been invented.. like disposable
beer cans and plastic shotgun shell casings.
diapers are sinister things. They attack when you least expect it.
I was walking down Main Street Monday morning, one of the abominable
things jumped out of the gutter and wrapped itself around my leg.
few weeks back, as I was driving home on River Road, one of the
grotesquely messy monsters jumped right out of a passing car and
splattered itself upon my windshield.

plumbing systems with the precision of drying concrete.

their time. They accumulate on public picnic tables, and in corners
of department store dressing rooms.
upon the world about 20 years ago, disposable diapers were little
more than a half dozen layers of Kleenex tissue inside some butcher
that time, they were relatively harmless, relatively expensive,
and relatively few people bothered with them. But they were also
relatively convenient.
were convenient even though they tore easily, and had old fashioned
safety pins for fasteners. They filled up quickly and they leaked
alot. They also smelled as bad as the cloth ones they were replacing.
any talented mother of a 6 month old could stuff 40 of the insolent
things in a grocery sack and take a weekend trip without ever worrying
about getting lost.
she had to do was toss one out the car window every 15 minutes and
then follow the odiferous trail of dumpy disposables back down the
highway to where she came from.
there is a veritable plethora of disposables to choose from.

their real contents for a month.

and an organic gardner could raise an entire potato crop in less
than half a dozen of the nasty things.

have all kinds of mushy-sweet names designed to make mothers think
they are doing baby a favor by trapping him in a space age hinie-binder

stinky, blitzed disposable diaper? Besides, I think jabbing the
little darlings with a safety pin now and then encourages the swift
completion of potty training.

off, just by picking a kid up; but for some, you probably have to
spell it out.
there are Pampers with "Stay-Dry Gathers." They have double

Posts for tag: dry mouth
If you were asked to identify the number one mouth problem affecting dental health, what would you name? Toothaches? Poor hygiene? Jaw joint issues?
Believe it or not, the top issue among 15,000 respondents in a recent American Dental Association (ADA) survey was dry mouth. A full one-third of the respondents had experienced chronic lack of normal saliva flow; difficulty biting and tooth pain, took second and third place, respectively.
We've all experienced the discomfort of temporary dry mouth when we first wake up in the morning or after eating certain foods. But chronic dry mouth is much more serious with long-term effects on a person's teeth and gum health. This is because among its other important properties, saliva helps neutralize enamel-softening mouth acid and restores minerals to enamel after acid contact. Without sufficient saliva flow you're much more susceptible to dental disease.
While there are several causes for dry mouth, perhaps the most common is as a side effect to at least five hundred known medications. Because older people tend to take more medications than other age groups, dry mouth is an acute problem among people over 60 (a major factor for why dry mouth took the survey's top health problem spot).
You can help ease dry mouth from medications by first asking your doctor about switching to alternative medications that don't affect saliva production. If not, be sure to drink more water during the day and especially when you take your oral medication (a few sips before and after).
You can help your dry mouth symptoms from any cause by drinking more water, limiting your consumption of alcohol or caffeine, and avoiding tobacco products. You can also use substances that stimulate saliva flow—a common one is xylitol, an alcohol-based sugar that's used as a sweetener in certain gums and candies. Not only does xylitol boost saliva flow it also inhibits the growth of bacteria and thus decreases your risk of disease.
And speaking of reducing bacteria and their effects, don't neglect daily brushing and flossing. These habits, along with regular dental cleanings and checkups, will benefit you just as much as your efforts to reduce dry mouth in avoiding dental disease.
If you would like more information on treating common problems with teeth and gums, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation.
Perhaps you haven't thought of it quite this way, but saliva is one of the true wonders of the human body. This unassuming fluid performs a variety of tasks to aid digestion and help protect your mouth from disease. And you hardly notice it — except when it's not there.
That's the case for millions of people in America who have a chronic condition called xerostomia or "dry mouth." This happens when the salivary glands don't secrete enough saliva, normally two to four pints daily.
Of course, we can experience mouth dryness when we first wake up (saliva flow ebbs while we sleep), feel stressed, use tobacco, or consume alcohol and certain foods like onions or spices. It becomes a problem, though, when periods of low saliva become chronic. Without its preventive capabilities, you'll be at much higher risk for dental diseases like tooth decay or periodontal (gum) disease.
Chronic dry mouth can occur for various reasons: systemic diseases like cancer or autoimmune deficiencies can cause it, as well as radiation or chemotherapy treatments. One of the most common causes, though, is medication, both over-the-counter and prescription. The surgeon general identifies over 500 known drugs that may inhibit saliva production, including some antihistamines, diuretics and antidepressants. It's often why older people who take more medications than younger people suffer more as a population from dry mouth.
Because of its long-term health effects, it's important to try to boost saliva flow. If your mouth is consistently dry, try to drink more fluids during the day. If you suspect your medication, see if your physician can prescribe a different drug. It also helps to drink a little water before and after taking oral medication.
We may also recommend medication or other substances that stimulate saliva or temporarily substitute for it. Xylitol, a natural alcohol sugar that also inhibits bacterial growth, can help relieve dryness. You'll often find it in gums or mints.
Chronic dry mouth is more than a minor irritation — it can lead to more serious conditions. In addition to these tips, be sure to also keep up your regular dental visits and maintain a daily schedule of oral hygiene to prevent dental disease.
If you would like more information on overcoming dry mouth, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Dry Mouth: Learn about the Causes and Treatment of this Common Problem."
As your mother used to say, "A moist mouth is a healthy mouth." Well, maybe she didn't — but it's still true. Without the constant flow of saliva, your teeth and gums would be less healthy.
That's because among its many functions, saliva helps keep the mouth from becoming too acidic. Just after eating, your mouth's neutral pH level tips to the acidic side of the scale. Acid is enamel's number one enemy, and it takes little time for it to begin dissolving mineral content. But in thirty minutes to an hour, saliva neutralizes the acid; it also helps restore some of the enamel's minerals.
Without adequate saliva flow, acid quickly gets the upper hand. In time, this can greatly increase your risk for dental disease. And for many people, inadequate saliva — dry mouth — is a chronic problem.
There are a number of reasons why. Salivary glands may not produce as much in our later years. In addition, as we age, we may begin taking more medications, some of which can cause dry mouth. Treatments for certain kinds of systemic diseases, particularly cancer, can also inhibit saliva or even damage salivary glands.
If you feel your mouth is continuously dry, make an appointment to find out the cause, which will determine the best course of action to alleviate it. If it's related to your medication, we'll see if there's an alternative. If not, you may need to drink more water when you take your medication and more throughout the day.
There are other things you can do as well. Reduce your intake of acidic foods or caffeinated beverages. Run a cool-air humidifier at night to keep your mouth and nose membranes moist. And you can also try saliva stimulants available by prescription or even over the counter. Chewing gum with xylitol (an alcohol-based sugar) has also been shown to stimulate saliva flow.
Above all, be diligent about daily brushing and flossing and regular dental cleanings and checkups. Keeping a watchful eye will help ensure dental disease doesn't take advantage of your dry mouth.

Dry mouth is a condition that many of us have experienced at some point in life. However, for some people it is a problem that can wreak havoc on their lives. This is why we have put together this list of questions we are most frequently asked about dry mouth.
What is dry mouth?
The medical term for dry mouth is "xerostomia" ("xero" – dry; "stomia" – mouth) and it affects millions of people in the US alone. It is caused by an insufficient flow of saliva, the liquid produced by the salivary glands. These glands are located in the inside cheeks of the mouth by the back top molars and in the floor (under the tongue) of the mouth. When functioning properly, they produce two to four pints of liquid every 24 hours.
Can drugs contribute to dry mouth?
Yes, both prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs can cause dry mouth. This is one reason we so often find it in senior citizens, as they are typically on more medications than younger, healthier people.
What about diseases...can they cause dry mouth?
Certain systemic (general body) and autoimmune ("auto" – self; "immune" – resistance system) diseases, in which the body reacts against its own tissue, can cause dry mouth. Other diseases that can be the culprit include: diabetes, Parkinson's disease, cystic fibrosis, and AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Radiation and chemotherapy used to treat head and neck cancers can inflame, damage or destroy the salivary glands—thus causing dry mouth.
Are there any remedies for dry mouth?
Yes! If medication is the primary cause of your dry mouth, there may be other, similar drugs that can be substituted that do not produce the same side effect. If you feel this describes your situation, discuss your concerns with the prescribing physician. Another option is taking an OTC or prescription saliva stimulant to temporarily relieve the dryness. Or, you can suck on a candy made with xylitol, a natural sugar substitute, four to five times a day. Xylitol has been shown to help stimulate the production of saliva with the added benefit of reducing the odds of getting cavities.
To learn more on this subject, continue reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Dry Mouth." You can also contact us today with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
A consistently dry mouth is not only uncomfortable and unpleasant but also probably more serious than you think. Dry mouth, medically known as xerostomia ("xero" – dry; "stomia" – mouth) affects millions of people, but few understand why it happens or why it is important.
What Causes Dry Mouth?
It is normal to awaken with a dry mouth because saliva flow decreases at night. But if your mouth is persistently dry throughout the day, it may be a result of habits such as smoking, alcohol or too much coffee drinking or even dehydration. It is also a common side effect of some medications. Xerostomia is not a disease in itself, but it could be a symptom of salivary gland or other systemic (general body) disease.
Why is Saliva Important?
A persistently dry mouth can be a problem. Not only does it feel unpleasant and lead to bad breath, it can also significantly increase your risk for tooth decay. Saliva lubricates your mouth for chewing, eating, digestion and even speaking. Saliva also has important antibacterial activities. Most importantly normal healthy salivary flow neutralizes and buffers acids in the mouth to protect the teeth from the acids produced by bacteria on the teeth that cause decay, and by acids in sodas, sports drinks and juices that can erode tooth enamel.
Not only does saliva neutralize acids but with its high mineral content it can actually reverse de-mineralization — the process by which acids attack enamel and remove calcium from the enamel surface. Healthy saliva actually re-mineralizes the outer layers of tooth enamel, but the process can take 30-60 minutes. That's why it's important not to snack on sugars or drink sodas between meals — one an hour and your mouth is acidic all the time.
Individuals without enough saliva are especially at risk for root decay and fungal infections, and they are also more likely to lose tooth substance through abrasion and erosion.
What Can We Do for a Dry Mouth?
If your mouth is usually dry, make an appointment with us to assess the causes of the problem. However it may be more serious with medical implications. The solution may be as simple as drinking more water and using good daily oral hygiene, or it may necessitate prescription medication to promote more saliva flow.
Contact us today to schedule an appointment to discuss your dry mouth and what we can do to help. For more information read the article in Dear Doctor magazine "Tooth Decay – How To Assess Your Risk."

I see the world through million eyes
those suffering souls, these aching hearts
mellow, carefree children's laughter
are all my own.
those leaning trees, feel them sway
look! flying birds and falling rain
running beasts, rushing streams, ocean waves-
my very face.
in all the places
through all the eyes
I am the eternal seer
I am the oversoul
I am the One behind the many
I am the One behind the all.
Imagine the whole universe a conscious entity that is fully aware of itself, just as you are aware of your-self. That entity is looking out though all these eyes that are me and you. That is just what it does.
Now, the fact that you feel there is a definite separate 'you', keeps you separate and therefore, in delusion.
When in fact, all there is, is a single awareness experiencing itself in infinite modalities.
When 'i' disappear, mind disappears, and reality remains bare, luminous and perfect.

Oh my Lord in Heaven.
I'm not one for watching "series" on TV. I usually can't get interested in a story line long enough to watch for any length of time. However, a few weeks ago Shrew recommended Mad Men. "You will love it", she said. While skeptical, I decided to puruse Hulu to find it, but evidently AMC (American Movie Classics), the cable network that carries Mad Men, does not license through Hulu, BUT did have one episode — the second season premier. I decided to watch this episode and if it garnered my interest, I would download season one from iTunes, to keep me company on my many business trips.
Naturally, I LOVED IT. I have completed season one and am anxiously awaiting the weekend when I can catch up on season two, which is conveniently available (for free) on On Demand. YAHOO!!!
If you watch Mad Men, you know how I can love it so. If you haven't watched, YOU HAVE TO!! Set in the early 60s, the characters lives revolve around a Madison Avenue advertising agency. The nostalgia is phenomenal, to the point where you think you've entered a time warp and are right there with the girls in the secretarial pool, adjusting your Playtex bra and dodging the wayward hands of your boss.
The show is so honestly unpolitically correct that it's realism captivates. Here is a video I found on YouTube that lists the Top 10 politically incorrect moments in Mad Men (so far):
Of course, the brilliance of this is that in 1960, this was perfectly accepted behavior. And, there are many more where these came from. Women smoking and drinking while pregnant, drinking in the office (at any hour), incessant smoking — anywhere and everywhere by everybody, and the perfect mother worrying about her six year old "getting fat" are just a few of the issues that folks today would simply be mortified over.
And then there's the sex. Everyone is doing or trying to do everybody else. While likely a little over done, the show does expose "the greatest generation's" proclivity for extra marital dalliances — particularly in action-packed New York City when commerce and culture were seeping from every pore of the city.
Oh, and the music….I love me some nostalgia music, as I call it and Mad Men does not disappoint. Here's a few of my favorites from the first two seasons:
Band of Gold, Don Cherry
P.S., I Love You, Bobby Vinton
Babylon (Written by Don McLean)
Botcha Me, Rosemary Clooney (ignore the drag queen)
The Twist, Chubby Checker
Fly Me to the Moon, Julie London
Don't Think Twice, It's Alright, Bob Dylan
Theme from Summer Place, Percy Faith Orchestra
Break It To Me Gently, Brenda Lee
I'm Through With Love, Marilyn Monroe
Man, I just LOVE this stuff. The songs, the era, the stories, and oh, the characters. My favorite is Ad Agency owner Roger Sterling, played superbly (and oh so handsomely) by John Slattery.
Yeah buddy.
Anyway, even though the story of Mad Men takes place a couple of years before I was born, there is something oddly familiar about it all. Even though things had changed (and not necessarily for the better) by the early 70s and my formative years, alot of what is portrayed in Mad Men was still happening. While society continued to become more "open", it also became much less tolerant of, and dare I say militant against, the obvious sexism and male dominance of everything in business and otherwise.
Even through the bawdy behavior and pervasive deceptiveness, there's still a wonderful innocence of a world before assassinations, marches in the streets and really, really bad clothes. Watching Mad Men provides a glimpse into the end of an era…likely the most exciting time in recent U.S. history. Post WWII society, drunk on money, sex and freedom.
While you may be shocked by some of the behavior of these peers of our elders, I dare you not to have a few good laughs when you watch Mad Men and relish in the fact that yes, "you've come a long way, baby".

About Homelessness & its Causes
Homelessness affects more than 100,000 Australians every day of the year. In Victoria, more than 24,800 Victorians registered as homeless in the 2016 Census. We have seen an increase in demand on our services as rising rents and shrinking affordable and social housing stock force people into homelessness.
The ABS definition of homelessness has six operational groups:
- persons living in improvised dwellings, tents, or sleeping out (rough sleeping)
- persons in supported accommodation for the homeless
- persons staying temporarily with other households
- persons living in boarding houses
- persons in other temporary lodgings, and
- persons living in severely crowded dwellings.
Sleeping rough, in cars or in unsafe, unaffordable transient or insecure housing has severe effects, it is extremely stressful and damaging to people's physical and mental health due to the fear, anxiety and violence that people who are homeless often experience.

Exxon Mobil, Hess make discovery off Guyana
Exxon Mobil and Hess Corp. said Wednesday that they have made a seventh oil discovery in the developing offshore fields of Guyana in northeastern South America.
The find at the new Pacora-1 exploration is another expansion of the oil development off the coast of the Latin American country, which is immediately east of Venezuela, where political and economic instability have led to declining crude production there.
Exxon Mobil has battled in court with Venezuela over compensation issues for years and is now backing Guyana in its legal disputes with Veneuzela over their borders.
Exxon Mobil, headquartered in Irving, and Hess,of New York, said they struck oil in a well drilled more than 18,000 feet at a deepwater depth of nearly 7,000 feet. The discovery is about four miles west of its Payara-1 well and follows recent discoveries on the offshore Stabroek block in the Liza, Payara, Liza Deep, Snoek, Turbot and Ranger fields. The oil companies found crude in the Ranger field in Janaury.
The companis said they expect to start consistently producing oil from some of these discoveries no later than 2020.
"This latest discovery further increases our confidence in developing this key area of the Stabroek Block," said Steve Greenlee, president of ExxonMobil. "Pacora will be developed in conjunction with the giant Payara field and, along with other phases, will help bring Guyana production to more than 500,000 barrels per day."
Exxon and Hess join several other of the world's largest oil companie to recently announced major offshore discoveries as rising crude prices and lower development costs begin to revive the struggling offshore sector. Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and the French company Total revealed their discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea within a 24-hour period at the end of January.
Exxon Mobil and Hess said they will next drill more test wells in the Liza field. It's the first area expected to be fully developed.
The Stabroek Block encompasses 6.6 million acres total acres.
Exxon Mobil is the main operator of the development, owning 45 percent of the project. Hess owns 30 percent while the China National Offshore Oil Corp. holds a 25 percent stake.


text: Popular for cooking and baking, this flake salt is also commonly used as a garnish for fish and vegetable dishes. The super large flakes of the Cyprus White Flake Sea Salt are great for Salads; they add contrast to your plate. I use Cyprus Black / White Flake on a Caprese Salad. Use the Cyprus Black on the mozzarella cheese and Cyprus White on the tomatoes and basil, it looks great. About The Salt: This is a unique and versatile product which is 100% natural, with all natural flavoring. The production process can take up to two years, in order to achieve the perfect balance of weather and temperature to create the right texture and flavor. On the Island of Cyprus, Sea salt flakes are made in the traditional manner, through the evaporation of seawater. The sea water is channeled through a series of ponds or into shallow lagoons called salins. The water is then fed into large pans where it is slowly heated until delicate pyramid crystals form. The process repeats until the sea salt reaches 3% humidity. This process is also environmentally friendly, fueled mostly by solar power.

On infrasound generated by wind farms and its propagation in low-altitude tropospheric waveguides
Author: Marcillo, Omar; et al.
Infrasound from a 60‐turbine wind farm was found to propagate to distances up to 90 km under nighttime atmospheric conditions. Four infrasound sensor arrays were deployed in central New Mexico in February 2014; three of these arrays captured infrasound from a large wind farm. The arrays were in a linear configuration oriented southeast with 13, 54, 90, and 126 km radial distances and azimuths of 166°, 119°, 113°, and 111° from the 60 1.6 MW turbine Red Mesa Wind Farm, Laguna Pueblo, New Mexico, USA. Peaks at a fundamental frequency slightly below 0.9 Hz and its harmonics characterize the spectrum of the detected infrasound. The generation of this signal is linked to the interaction of the blades, flow gradients, and the supporting tower. The production of wind‐farm sound, its propagation, and detection at long distances can be related to the characteristics of the atmospheric boundary layer. First, under stable conditions, mostly occurring at night, winds are highly stratified, which enhances the production of thickness sound and the modulation of other higher‐frequency wind turbine sounds. Second, nocturnal atmospheric conditions can create low‐altitude waveguides (with altitudes on the order of hundreds of meters) allowing long‐distance propagation. Third, night and early morning hours are characterized by reduced background atmospheric noise that enhances signal detectability. This work describes the characteristics of the infrasound from a quasi‐continuous source with the potential for long‐range propagation that could be used to monitor the lower part of the atmospheric boundary layer.

We are back to pre-digger days having to transport the sand in barrows. The digger would do it in a tenth of the time but it would just mess the land up even more. Brendan is worried that it will get into too much of a boggy mess for the concrete to be delivered.
I know I should be pleased for the sake of the farmers that we finally have some rain but……. If only we had been two weeks further on we would have had the concrete base down and therefore able to carry on building even in the rain. However, for us it is just an inconvenience and means it will take longer to get the build done. For the farmers it has been a catastrophic summer. Whilst we enjoyed a summer of brilliant sunshine and very hot days the farmers suffered and lost crops and animals in the drought.
We finished at lunchtime when it rained even harder and spent the afternoon looking at and pricing up windows and doors. I wonder if choosing would be easier if money was no object? Knowing myself as I do I would say it would be much more difficult.
The new shoes are really looking the part!
Pain Stops Play
Thursday, Brendan spent the day in bed with a bad back! He is going to rest it for the weekend and hope for the best for Monday.

Nowadays, the rapid development of society has caused our environment to suffer a lot of pollution, which has caused us a lot of troubles. So we need the oil that is good for us and can bring us environmental protection. For this reason, a new type of environmentally friendly oil will make you more efficient when using environmentally friendly oil cookers .
Due to the short-term development of the environmentally-friendly oil stove industry, the market for products has not been standardized. There are even some manufacturers that do not have production standards, no strict formula and technology, and produce or sell environmentally-friendly oil fuels and stoves. This is also the reason why many users and consumers have always had a prejudice against the joining of environmentally-friendly oil fuel products and the market.
In fact, although environmentally-friendly oil stoves have been using green new energy sources, the use of many environmentally-friendly oil stoves is not satisfactory, because the common problem is that the combustion is not complete, and there is a large smell in use, giving a lot of Friends have caused inconvenience. Our company believes that this is caused by incomplete combustion of the fuel in the fuel formulation. Long-term use of such fuel will not only save energy, but also adversely affect human health.
With the promotion and use of environmentally-friendly oil cookers, there are more and more users, and the use of environmentally friendly oils has brought us high praise, so you can use them with confidence.

A few weeks ago we spoke of our mate, Gerry. Much like Alice no-one knows who the hell he/she is! Just some random guy/girl at your CrossFit box who has made awesome gains over the past few months. There's a Gerry in every box but here's the interesting point – at some stage, you will be Gerry too! So don't bother comparing yourself to him/her. No athlete can continuously lift heavier or PB every WOD every time. We all have periods where our gains are more…or less, or even non-existent!! Sometimes we can even go backwards and we wonder what the hell is happening.
Which is why at CrossFit 4504 we emphasise to our members that there is no value in comparing yourself to Gerry. Or Roy 😉 or Janice. Or whoever happens to be smashing it lately. Because everyone trains differently. Everyone has factors which will alter their results. Therefore, results will differ. We encourage the members of CrossFit 4504 to make their class time one of the highlights of their day. We don't ask them to compare their times, skill level or strength to that of other members.
Rather we recommend that they ASPIRE to improve. There is a huge difference inComparison and Aspiration between athletes. So let's talk about the two….
Comparison – a consideration of the similarities and differences between two things (or people)
Comparisons between people are part of human nature, but can unfortunately lead to negativity, jealousy and deceit. Whilst all humans have some similarities, we also have many differences and we at CrossFit 4504 feel that comparisons should not be made between our athletes. There are many factors involved in determining why athletes achieve at different rates. If you're someone who compares your results with a fellow CrossFitter, you need to ask yourself many questions about who you're comparing yourself to…like, what sort of work do they do? How tall or short are they? How long have they been CrossFitting? What sort of environment did they grow up in? Are they confident in their own ability? Do they have children? Have they ever had a serious injury? Do they….? We could go on and on….
Can you see our point though? Comparing your results or rate of improvement to someone else's is a fruitless exercise. Because they are not you! Take this example – you may have had a month where work has been quiet, or you've been on holidays. So you're well rested. The kids are healthy and happy and everything is rosy as. During this month your improvements during training skyrocket. This gives you a boost in over confidence and you continue to push harder and improve your skills. It's like you're the new Gerry! Until you have health issues, or become snowed under at work, or family life becomes stressful. It's now a major effort to drag yourself to class, let alone switch on the Beast Mode like you did a month ago, and suddenly everything that seems so easy last month is now hard. Sitting down and comparing yourself to everyone else and feeling like you're a failure or you suck at xyz, just based on pure numbers just makes you feel worse about yourself. And the cycle downwards continues.
Don't Compare!
We've mentioned this in previous blogs. You aren't Gerry! You've got to be your own version of Gerry. Gerry 2.0! If you have to compare something, compare your own results…with your own results. Did you lift more for this 1RM compared to last time it was tested? Or were your numbers lower than you wanted? Compare not only your results, but the factors behind each result. Take into consideration factors like stresses, concerns, difference in programming, highlights and confidence levels. Analyse your data and you'll have a much better idea on why your results have improved or not. Speak to your coach about your training results and work out a plan to move forward.
This is the one of the only reasons we encourage all of our CrossFit 4504 members to enter their results into our ZenPlanner App. To keep a record of their results for comparison – of their results. Say you complete Fran (an iconic CrossFit WOD of 21-15-9 thrusters and pullups) for the first time in 7min 25sec with 20kg on the bar and Jumping Pullups. Compare this 6 months later and Fran takes you 9min 33sec, but this time you've completed her RX. To have this data to look back on is an invaluable tool for our members' CrossFit training. It isn't for comparison with other members and that is why we also encourage CrossFit4504 members to perform all WODs not only with intensity, but integrity. This will give members a true indication of their results and improvements.
We don't have members log results so we can rank them as athletes. Your numbers don't define you, who you are, but they provide a tool to help you grow and improve if used correctly.
Aspiration – a hope or ambition of achieving something.
This is the word we want our athletes to use at CrossFit 4504. Aspiration. Aspire to meet a certain standard, lift a certain weight or achieve certain techniques. This is way more beneficial to our members' CrossFit journey. A much healthier view, aspiration encourages us to be better athletes, better people. For our benefit only. We have many levels of fitness at CrossFit 4504. Some of our members have been with us for more than 3 years, while others are approaching 3 months. Their varying levels of experience mean they have different aspirations and goals relating to technique, strength, speed, co-ordination and overall fitness. And while we definitely don't encourage comparison between our athletes – aspiration is another story.
If you're wanting to improve technique, a particular movement or skill and you see 'ole Roy over there with textbook wallballs, or Janice pumping out RX pushups – we encourage you to Aspire to perform to that standard. The programming and coaching at CrossFit 4504 has helped Roy and Janice achieve these levels, which they themselves aspired to once upon a time. And the same standard can be achieved by you. Mastering techniques, getting stronger and learning new skills is what CrossFit is all about. Our members are encouraged to aspire to the higher standard of their more experienced friends because it will only serve to enhance their CrossFit experience and fuel their passion and aspiration for improvement.
And our more experienced members are extremely encouraging. They know how it feels to be new to CrossFit – because they were once in the same situation. These members are genuinely excited when our newer athletes finish a tough WOD, pick up a new skill or show improvement in technique and strength. It inspires them. Which fuels their own aspirations to improve.
CrossFit 4504 could be your community. Without comparison. Loaded with aspiration. And fuelled by quality coaching and inspiring performances. Come and try CrossFit 4504 today.

How good is New York City's sanctuary?
In his first week in office President Donald Trump issued executive orders directing Immigrations and Customs Enforcement to drastically expand the list of undocumented immigrants prioritized for deportation.
That list was already long, but now includes those who have been charged with any crime, regardless of the severity of the accusation or whether they've been convicted. In response, Mayor Bill de Blasio pointed to NYC's standing commitment to limit cooperation with ICE. He said that wouldn't change despite Trump's threats to pull some or all federal funding for the city.
But since then, activists and immigrant advocates have begun singling out holes in NYC's commitment to sanctuary,claiming the city's focus on quality-of-life crime puts immigrants here illegally in danger.
In part, that danger is hypothetical, but there are real limits to the "sanctuary" umbrella.
When de Blasio and others tout "sanctuary" principles, they are mostly talking about the limited amount that city agencies like NYPD and the Department of Correction cooperate with ICE, as governed by a long history of laws and executive orders.
In limited circumstances, the city directly transfers prisoners into ICE custody. But that cooperation only happens when the individuals are on a terror watchlist or have been convicted of one of approximately 170 felonies in the last five years (or released from a sentence for one in the same time period).
Those felonies are fairly serious, the idea being that the city isn't safeguarding someone who has been convicted of violent crimes. But that list could change. De Blasio himself indicated he would be open to adjusting it when questioned at state budget hearings Monday by a Assemb. Nicole Malliotakis. (The assemblywoman mentioned crimes such as sexual misconduct, forcible touching, welfare fraud, and identity theft).
There are two ways that the list of 170 crimes could grow. Changes to the state's penal code could be folded into the city's list, after administrative review. More significant changes require a collaboration between the mayor and City Council. At the moment the council's liberal political bent make this a fairly safe bulwark against adding dumb things like turnstile hopping to the list of things the NYPD would help ICE deport you for.
The problem is that dumb issues like turnstile jumping and other minor offenses can still bring you to ICE's attention even without NYC's cooperation.
The chain of events goes like this: an undocumented immigrant is arrested for a misdemeanor, such as hopping over the turnstile or driving under the influence. The person is arrested, and due to state Criminal Procedure Law 160.10 their fingerprints are taken, along with personal information. That information is sent to the state and then shared through national databases such as the FBI's National Crime Information Center.
The Department of Homeland Security and ICE "regularly check those," says Genia Blaser, a staff attorney at the Immigrant Defense Project.
There are multiple concerns here. First, the turnstile jumper's fingerprints could be matched with DHS's own database, says Blaser, which includes anyone who has at any point had contact with DHS — including someone who entered on a tourist visa and overstayed its length, for example.
Under Trump's expanded priorities, the low-level offender will be on ICE's radar without the help of the NYPD.
The other concern: maybe DHS somehow doesn't have an individual's fingerprints. But after he or she gets stopped on the wrong side of the turnstile and arrested, his or her fingerprints along with his or her country of birth is sent to the national database. ICE now has another priority target.
The Immigrant Defense Project and other advocates aren't saying that ICE will immediately be going after every single one of the thousands of people these new priorities will include. It's unclear how Trump's executive orders will be implemented. One calls for 10,000 new agents, who would have to be paid for by Congress.
But the potential is there, and the precedent. ICE conducted widespread raids without police cooperation such as Operation Return to Sender under the George W. Bush administration. Those types of raids were less common under Obama, yet the former president deported more people than any president in history.
The city isn't offering shelter on this front, apart from saying that it has taken some measures to decrease arrests for certain low-level offenses. But those arrests occur: Councilman Rory Lancman wrote to de Blasio this week pointing to the 30,000 criminal charges for fare evasion in 2015. Lancman asked that the NYPD start using civil violations for those cases rather than criminal, to prevent the chain of events leading to ICE.
But this cuts at the heart of broken windows policing, which developed in the city's subways, and de Blasio has said he's not interested in changing the arrests policy — an example of the hole in NYC's sanctuary policy that could be a problem in the coming years.
