[MOC] Audi R8 - Speed Champions
_TLG_ posted a topic in LEGO TownHello Speed Champions fans, my son asked me to build a white Audi R8. Both of us like the Speed Champions sets, therefore I choosen this scale. If you like it, you can support it on Lego Ideas: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/ead4242e-8bae-440d-930d-0c840d86ce5f It is a studless build from standard lego elements and modified City wheels are used instead of Speed Champions ones to keep the height to length ratio more realistic similarly to my earlier ideas. The front of this car is iconic and it was a real challenge to recreate it in this small size. I made lots of versions and I think the actual one with a tricky solution is the best. I tried more solutions to the black side blades too, the actual one was inspired by "LEGO Audi R8 instructions (MOC #96)" by "Jerry Builds Bricks" on Youtube, however I modifed it a bit as I wanted tilted blades similarly to the real ones. Only one sticker is used which is the Audi logo on the front as I'm generally not a fan of the parts with stickers, because of the lack of flexibility in using them with other builds. The set includes the minifigure shown on the main picture on the Lego Ideas. It comes form the set 75873 but with red helmet. I have added a rear wing to make the car more dynamic. It differs from the custom Audi wings, but I think it fits to the style of the car and to the side mirrors.

[WIP] Audi S3 quattro 1:12 RC - finished
T Lego posted a topic in LEGO Technic and Model TeamYes, yes yes... I am going to build another Audi After a very good result of my previous Audi, I thought with those design parameters I can't make a better car. Therefore I wanted to do something different, yet similar. I am going to scale up (slightly), and add a bunch of new features. I also realised that performance of the result won't be comparable to the previous one. The main reason for that is, that I am not going to use buggy motors. I recieved many questions like: "can I build it without expensive buggy motors?'' . I will be using these wheels: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=41896c04#T=S&O={"iconly":0}. I want the car to be 19 studs wide and have a wheel base of around 25 studs. The design parameters are: All wheel drive (quattro) with a central differential and without diffs on the axles. Front and rear independent suspenion. 50-50% (or close) weight distribution Servo steering (perhabs with steering wheel) Driving using two L motors 4 speed sequentail gearbox (servo operated) A good looking bodywork that reflects modern Audi's A good looking interior without any electronics/mechanisms visible Funcionality does not compromise for aesthetics (previous version is a great example) BuWizz power I allready have made some progress on the front axle. This is the result of many hours of puzzeling. It meets the requirements mentioned above. The buwizz is located behind the front axle and underneath the future dashboard. Axle for driving runs underneath the buwizz. I used these parts for the steering rack. It is connected to an eight tooth gear. On the same axles sits a 16 tooth gear which connects with the 20 thooth gear connected to the servo. The turning radius is great. I used these parts to stabilize the CV joints The next step will be to design the gearbox and rear axle. They will be integrated to save space. Comments, questions and feedback are highly appreciated!
[MOC] Audi RS1 concept car (donut car)
T Lego posted a topic in LEGO Technic and Model TeamHi everyone, perhabs some of you remember my first post on eb: Audi rally car. Soon after I posted it, I realised that I didn't like it enough. Therefore I decided to create a brand new version with roughly the same DNA. The main goals for the new version were to look better and drive better compared to the old one. To improve the looks, I went for a classic collor scheme: red body and black roof. I also downsized the width (17 stud compared to 18) and the wheelbase (two studs shorter). To get some more contrast, I put blue racing stripes on the seats. Making the car smaller meant I couldn't use some tricks used in the old one, such as BuWizz inbetween the front wheels. It is now located underneath the trim. To improve driving, I decided to use two Buggy motors rather than one and put them as low as possible in the chassis for the best COG. The gear ratio is the same as before: 1:1. The steering is also much smoother and has almost no backlash. Due to these improvements the car drifts WAY better then the old one. It even does donuts. Here you can see some pictures of the drivetrain and rear suspension. Due to the insane power from two buggy motors, gears often slipped during the development. A simple but effective solution I came up with was to use knop gears rather than 12t bevel gears to transfer the power to the rear wheels. The car features, like the old one, front and rear suspension, but it is a very different setup. The front now uses traditional suspension arms and the rear is a liveaxle without diff. The doors and bonnet can be opened manually. Because there is no battery under the bonnet, there was a bit of space for a fake V6 engine made out of knop gears. More pictures can be found here: https://www.bricksafe.com/pages/T_Antonie/random/audi-rs1 In case you think that the car is slow, that is due to the fact that I am a NOOB driver. In all the video clips BuWizz was in normal mode. You can watch the video presentation here: I'd love to know your thoughts and critics or other feedback are highly appreciated too.

[MOC] Audi Rally Car
T Lego posted a topic in LEGO Technic and Model TeamHi everyone, This is my first MOC to be published here on the forum: a small/compact rally hatchback. It is not a copy of an existing car, but the front is inspired by modern Audi's. The design parameters that I want to achieve include the following: Fast drivetrain Lots of torque (the car must be able to drive on tarmac, dirt and sand) An average scale of 1:12.5 Front and rear independent suspension Front and rear PF lights Servo steering with small turning radius Buwizz 2.0 to increase performance (located under the bonnet for better weightdistribution and easy acces) A light and rigid chassis Openable doors and bonnet A realistic/clean interior (no visible moters/wires/chassis beams) A gapless body, using rather pannels than beams Drift (on sand) It contains 100% LEGO parts (excpet BuWizz) with a total of 1178 parts. I am very happy with the result. Here are some pictures The Buwizz with easy acces... Clean interior... Openable glovebox... Rear suspension... Front suspension... The underside shows the chassis, wires and motors... Annd finally a little video to demonstrate the fucntions and the oudoor performance.

Audi R18 LMP Racecar - 2016 Livery (1:16)
Guy0naBuffalo posted a topic in LEGO Scale ModelingWith the 24 Hours of Le Mans approaching this weekend and seeing some other LMP cars on here recently, I decided to post as well! This is the Audi R18 in 2016 colors, on its last race year, more description below. I've been fascinated with the Le Mans 24 hour Endurance race since I was a little boy. My father shared his passion for auto racing with me and naturally, I also got hooked! After recently visiting an World Endurance Championship race this year and seeing a life sized Porsche 919 made half out of Lego and half out of a real car, I couldn't resist designing my own (although not quite as big). I know there are already a few current Lego sets that feature racecars like Speed Champs, but I wanted to design one that had a higher level of detail and really showed off the beautiful design of the LMP class. This design was done using the studless technique to keep the aerodynamic feel of an actual car. It is quite sturdy and uses standard Lego bricks/panels/slopes without requiring specialized body moldings. The car measures 11 inches (28 cm) long x 5 (12.7 cm) inches wide x 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) tall and is equivalent to 1:16 scale. It is just a bit bigger than minifig scale, although a minifig will fit inside the cockpit after removing the roof which easily comes off of two studs. The car can roll on a flat surface and has about 4 mm of ground clearance. I added racing numbers on the side panels and front for fun. Obviously more stickers could be added to make the car look even more like an actual car highlighting all the team sponsors, but I chose to keep the look clean.
[WIP] Audi TT LPE Drift Car- Shaping the body
Epic Technic posted a topic in LEGO Technic and Model TeamSo finally I'm starting a new project, I've had a mini dark age for the past few months so its really nice to be back. I've always been an Audi guy and I really wanted to build a sports car that no one else has, so I chose a TT. To make it more interesting, I'm going with a rear wheel drive LPE powered drifting TT. Current specifications: - V2 LPE for propulsion - Servo for steering - No differential - No suspension And of course its going to be red with black accents. I also did some quick Photoshop just to see what it could look like in dark blue. Progress will be quite slow for the next few weeks as I have final exams coming up.
[MOC] Audi TT
veryrusty posted a topic in LEGO Technic and Model TeamThe second of my three MOC's, the Audi TT. Again, apologies for the photo's. The TT is one of my favorite cars, and I've tried to capture the design as best I can. This one has the following features: - Full independent suspension. - 6 + N + R sequential gearbox (design by liftingbricks), driven by a porsche flappy paddles. - All wheel drive and five cylinder engine. - Opening doors, bonnet and trunk.

[WIP] Audi Quattro Rally Car
Teo LEGO Technic posted a topic in LEGO Technic and Model TeamHere's the beginning guys, after a long break a new MOC, the famous group B Audi Quattro rally car. All I've got so far is a front. IMG_3652 by Teo's Technic, on Flickr I'm thinking to make the bottom part of the bumper white, and also fenders and a line along the bottom all around the car white as well.
[MOC Review ] Fanylover/Artemy Zotov's Audi R8 V10
Rishab N posted a topic in LEGO Technic and Model TeamAround a month ago, Fanylover posted a beautiful model of the new R8 V10. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to build it, and immediately began gathering and ordering parts. I just finished the model last week and decided to review it. So, let's get into the review Instructions These instruction samples were taken from Fanylover's Bricksafe page. The instructions are mostly clear and connections are often boxed in order to emphasize At times, the specific part is given in order to avoid confusion. For instance all #4 connectors are labelled in the instructions Finally an arrow is given if you have to push in a pin or axle. Overall, the instructions are very clear, every photo is crisp and it gives a little challenge to building compared to the extremely basic Lego instructions. There are a few areas where the photo instructions can be a little difficult to follow, but these are negligible and it is well worth 8 euros. The Build The model begins with the front axle. From the beginning, the builder gets an idea of the sturdiness of the model. Everything is well braced. At this point in the build, the front suspension with steering has been placed and interestingly uses steering arms to connect to the hub instead of a usual steering link. Big step forward in the build, and its now sunny outside. The rear axle is built very differently from the front axle, but in both the hubs are used upside down. Again I must commend the sturdiness of this model. It honestly seems like something TLG could release, as the build is very straightforward with only one illegal technique used. Even then, it is quite minor as it relies on the natural flex of an axle. At this point the HOG is also placed. Here is the beginning of the body work.and is easily placed onto the chassis. It is rigid on its own and again reminds me of something TLG would produce. Roof on chassis. It attaches very easily. Doors and sides are placed. I love how the panel on top of the door practically sits flush with with the panel next to it. Next the hood with the 4 Audi Rings and the famous Audi front end is placed. Finally the rear is added with an awesome diffuser made using mini black panels. Final Model At this point I'll just let the pictures do the talking. I really wanted to take some proper pictures outside, but the weather in the Chicagoland area has been a bit crazy lately, so I settled with indoor yellowed photos. The front is perfectly created, and makes the car instantly recognizable. A friend who wasn't into cars or Legos, was able to easily recognize this as an R8 I don't think my pictures do this model justice. It looks a bit stubbier here than it actually is. The rear also looks fantastic and I love how the airbrake perfectly lines up with the rest of the car I also love how the rear diffuser is created with the mini panels. Top view looks very clean with few holes in the body work. Even with its fantastic looks, the car is still incredibly sturdy. It can easy sit on its roof, so 5/5 for rollover protection I guess Because of this, you can easily look at the bottom of the model Unusually, the model uses the new style differential for AWD, while most AWD MOCs use the older style. This has its drawbacks, as the differential touches the ground if not placed on a perfectly flat surface. The interior is nice and includes a switch for the hood and a knob for the airbrake. Functions The model has the usual supercar functions of the scale such as opening doors, hood, and engine cover. It also features a working airbrake, and opening glovebox; however, unlike most supercars, the model has no gearbox, but honestly I don't miss it. Doors open. The model uses soft springs in order to both lock the doors and in order to open them. I like the idea of using springs for the doors as they open by themselves when unlocked, but the springs in the locks aren't my favorite. Its a little hard to use and I would have preferred it to lock without a spring, but it isn't a big flaw. Few more pictures of the model with the doors open Here you can see the mechanism which locks the doors The next function is the opening hood which reveals a pretty sizeable trunk for a Lego model The hood can be opened from inside the car through a linkage that actually passes through the front axle There is a little slack, but nothing too bad. The model also has an opening engine cover which also uses springs to keep it closed. It doesn't really offer much more of a view, but its nice to have. Finally the last function is the opening air brake. Its opened through a linkage inside the car, and works fine. What amazes me the most is that the spoiler sits perfectly flush with the model, and you wouldn't even guess it was there without prior knowledge. Everything open Finally the instructions also include how to build a spoiler in order to make the model a V10 Plus. The spoiler looks nice, but then makes the airbrake void, so I prefer the car without it. A nice plus is that the spoiler can be easily broken into 3 pieces and fit in the trunk Final Thoughts Overall this is an absolutely fantastic model which manages to replicate an accurate representation of the Audi R8. It manages to do this while being sturdy and not using any ridiculous specialized pieces which is impressive. Overall Ratings Instructions: 9.5/10 The photos are incredibly clear and make this model more of a challenge than your average TLG instructions. I took off .5 for a few tough points, but overall its nice Parts Availabilty: 8/10 Despite most of the model being built with relatively easy to find parts, there are a few tough ones which raise the price of the model by a lot. The first is the ridiculous prices of the 8070 hubs. The model has 4 of them and with average Bricklink prices, this will set you back at least 25 dollars. The next is the 7 19L flex axles which would cost around 7 dollars. Next the 8 #3 red connectors which would cost around $30 dollars. Next the model uses 4 of the extremely rare red toggle joints which would set you back at least another 25 dollars. Finally the model uses the rare Ferrari wheel covers which would be around 50 dollars. I chose to opt out of those and replaced them with brick built covers, but the other rare parts woud set you back at least 85 dollars. I was lucky to have many of these parts, so the price was lessened a bit. One option to save money could be building the car in black Build 10/10 Again feels almost like a TLG design. Everything is reinforced as you build, and its built in modules which sometimes attach with push pins. Its fun to see the car take shape Looks: 10/10 Seriously perfect representation of an R8. I can't think of anything that could have been done differently here. It's instantly recognizable and barely has any gaps Playability 8.5/10 Nice functions. The springed doors and cover are great but I'm not a big fan of the springs for locks. An actual trunk is rare in supercars. The airbrake adds a unique touch and there is even a little glovebox; however, I admit a gearbox would have been nice to have. There's always something fascinating for me about watching the pistons move at different speeds. The model is also durable and could take some abuse from a child. Overall 46/50 Great model that really embodies an R8. Definitley a great car to have in your collection. Hope you liked this review . Sorry that the text is a bit dry and rushed Thanks to Fanylover for designing this beautiful model and letting me post pictures of the build
Octan Audi R18 LMP (from 60025)
niteangel posted a topic in LEGO TownThe new 60025 excited me at first, but when it was out, I was so disappointed about the design. The 6-stud to 8-stud transition was awkward. I would say this is more like a starter set. However, the color scheme was good. At the same time, I was watching the news on the recent Le Mans 24-hour racing, and I was so fascinated by the champion Audi R18 car. Hey, that's exactly what Lego should have done, perhaps! It took me nearly 1 week to research on that car, and 3 days to create this Lego version of the R18. Let's get into the racing tracks and have a look! Overview of the car: The hardest part is the tail. I did 4 versions in total, and I finally adopted this. I used the 1x2x1 piece sideways as the side exhaust, and integrated the brake light into the bottom bumper line. Looks ready to dash, right? The crew is doing a fine tuning... Reference image of Audi R18: (Google R18 for more images!) Okay, after a week I finally completed the modification on the truck as well. And here you go, the transporter! I have been struggling for the whole week figuring out whether I should use 8-stud or 9-stud or 10-stud container. 8 is not enough as the R18 is actually a little more than 8.5 stud. 10 is too big and it is so difficult to make it look good with the 6-stud wide truck head. Finally I used the uncommon 9 stud, which is not bad at all. The R18 fits perfectly inside while the trailer can "grow" smoothly from the head using some tilting pieces. The tail. Come on quick quick quick! Unload it! So that's basically what it is like after the huge surgery. It doesn't take too many extra bricks, which are mostly used on the base for the trailer, top of the trailer (it is 2 bricks taller) and the racing car. I used the same amount of wheels from 60025 too! Well, the trailer can be detached, as usual. You can see the barrels of Octan petrol stored at the front of the trailer too! Maybe I will make a Shell LMP later to compete with this R18. Let me know what you think! :D
Audi 80 Quattro Rally
Epic Technic posted a topic in LEGO Technic and Model TeamBack in August I was inspired by gsia17's Citroen Saxo preview to build a rally car.Sadly I don't have a buggy motor so I made the next best thing, a large scale model of the best rally car in the history of man kind, the Audi 80 Quattro Rally. This was my hardest build yet; it had many firsts for me. I used the 42000 Grand Prix's hubs for the double wishbone independent suspension on all wheels. I had trouble making the front suspension, steering, and power transfer with a differential so I made it hard coupled. I used CV joints with the 42000 steered hubs for the front which makes it have a terrible steering angle. Some pictures: A preview video is on my YouTube channel but I am editing the main video right now. I will update this post tomorrow and/or in days to come. Thank You, Epic Technic Please give comments, I want to know how to improve and what did well! :)
[MOC] The LMP1's, from 2011 to 2014, in TT-scale
XAxles posted a topic in Special LEGO ThemesThe 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours came and Audi Sport-Team Joest was still the team to beat in Circuit de la Sarthe. They've only been defeated twice, and one of those defeats came from a car that used to power an R8C, and after Peugeot got one off Audi's streak in 2009, the four-ringed brand and their R15 TDI went at it again, and even a big rules change in 2011 did not stop Audi-Joest from taking wins left and right when they made the R18. Naturally, the opponents had to match the clout of Ingolstadt. Peugeot's 908 and Toyota's TS030 Hybrid (along with a Swiss team, Rebellion Racing, which was the lone non-KERS coal burner in the LMP1 world for this decade), stalked Audi from the back, occasionally leading and very much giving Audi a fight. The 908 had a far better chance of taking 2011's spoils from the R18 ultra, while Toyota boxed well with Audi when the Pugs left from 2013 onwards. All the while Porsche said they wanted to join the party her sister was holding at la Sarthe, and when the 919 Hybrid came, Porsche fans rejoiced in the return of the original king of Le Mans. 2014 was a blockbuster hit, but Audi still won. Alright, so there's the backstory behind my builds, which are Tiny-Turbo-scale models of the LMP1's that competed from 2011-2014. I built these cars in the style I saw from //prototyp, using LEGO Digital Designer, and rendered thanks to Tom.Netherton. Here they are together: (Top line, L-R: Toyota TS030 Hybrid and Porsche 919 Hybrid. Bottom line, L-R: Audi R18 e-tron quattro (2014-spec), Rebellion-Oreca R-One, and Peugeot 908 Hybrid4 in 2011-spec 908 livery) Sorry, but singles pictures will come tomorrow morning. I have to sleep. I have stirred awake! Here comes the pictures, with links to the bigger one on the names. Porsche 919 Hybrid Toyota TS040 Hybrid Rebellion-Oreca R-One Peugeot 908 Audi R18 e-tron quattro

Technology & Combat CharacteristicsEdit
Gundam Ez8 HAC is actually one of two optional equipment packs for RX-79Ez-8 Gundam Ez-8 Kai which is the Gundam Ez-8 modified for space combat. The HAC equipments focuses on firepower, its main armaments are dual large beam cannons modified from Salamis-class's mega particle cannon. Gundam Ez-8 HAC also has pair of manipulator arms on its legs to hold the Salamis cannons in firing position.
However, the modification to the basic frame of Gundam Ez-8 remains minimum. Gundam Ez8 HAC has quite low mobility due to the increased weight of the HAC equipment. As well, because the unit's generator can only handle the power of the Salamis cannons, the Ez8 HAC is equipped with only a 100mm machine gun.
- Vulcan Gun
- Salamis Cannon
- Beam Saber
- 100mm Machine Gun
- Although the Gundam Ez8 Kai and both variants can't fit to the canonical timeline, Gundam Ace magazine made a claim in its Game MSV column that the Gundam Ez8 Kai is actually a fictional mobile suit appearing in a drama program based on the experience of the 08th MS Team members. Since the drama was extremely popular, the story got extended and eventually has the 08th MS Team going to space.

When you're a chiropractor, what does it mean to "take your own medicine" ?
"Walking my own talk" consists of more than just making sure I receive chiropractic care myself. It's about seeking balance in all areas of health. With balance in sight, the need for professional treatment decreases.
My motivation is maybe a bit more intensely fueled than for most people because my body is my essential work tool. If mechanical, biochemical or emotional balance is off, it directly affects the ability to fulfill my commitment to patients which in turn could potentially risk my livelihood. This is an intense interdependence that I would never trade for anything but it can be more than stressful to be even just a little bit laid-up.
In last week's post I alluded to a recently renewed return to health by restoring balance to my own life, after a year of pushing to get my book out, followed by the release and adventures in promotion.
I cannot emphasize enough how much this pursuit of balance can differ from person to person. I am taking a moment to briefly outline what this looked like for me at this particular juncture, to give you a very general idea of the factors to consider when thinking about your own balance in wellness. In particular I want to illustrate some of the principles outlined in my book (Every Body's Guide to Everyday Pain, Volume One – Put Out the Fire). Don't wait until you're in pain to find your true healthy balance. The everyday variety of pain is always a sign that something has fallen by the wayside in one of the three main categories (mechanical, biochemical or emotional) but things can be "off" long before pain strikes.
In my case, this time I needed first to focus on returning to a more regimented sleep/wake schedule. I've learned that my body and mind operate optimally with 6,1/2 – 7 hours of sleep per night and this means I need to exercise a little discipline about getting to bed on time because I am not willing to get up late. The morning hours are treasured time and important to my emotional well-being. I'm very lucky to have good sleep hygiene and my body cooperates well when put to bed. For times when that's not the case (as everything ebbs and flows), I reach for homeopathic remedies, herbal teas or magnesium to calm the nervous system before bed. A controversial trick that isn't advisable for everyone but that works well for me, is to have a small bite to eat before bedtime as well.
Re-balancing my biochemistry is something that I dedicated the better part of two consecutive months to. Resetting my organ systems and aiding the natural detoxification, involved some herbal and food therapy. I returned to eating simply by avoiding my known sensitivities: dairy, all animal protein, simple starches (sugar), nightshades and a few other specifics that I've come to recognize over the years as taxing to my system. I've since then slowly returned to more variety based on what my appetite dictates.
Some signs that will tell you about your sensitivities can be as subtle as an increase in heart rate within 1/2 hour of eating. Sometimes it's just a little tickle in the back of the throat that passes quickly but is still a significant sign of intolerance. Other times it can be a generalized increase in mucous production and that might be harder to spot. The need to clear your throat or blow your nose in the morning might be signs of excess mucous production in response to a food trigger from the day before. The point is that foods (sometimes very delicious food), not overtly considered as "allergenic" like peanuts, can still be considered by your body as a burden for your biochemistry. So, it's always important to pay attention to subtle reactions.
When I commit to helping my body unload excess waste, I also utilize dry sauna sweats, infrared if possible and pay extra attention to optimizing kidney and bowel function. This makes a big difference in the associated discomfort of "detox"-related headaches and body aches that can happen when large amounts of waste are mobilized throughout the body for elimination.
My herbal and nutrient based regimen was also targeted, in part to facilitate elimination via the kidneys, liver and colon. There are many different philosophies on which herbs are most appropriate and this is something that is best done with the advice of a natural health care doctor. Focusing on aiding natural elimination is the best way to help decrease your body's chemical burden from exposure to complex molecules in our air, food and water.
For me, restoring mechanical balance can't happen without first adequate rest and attention to nutrition. After re-setting sleep and nutrition I found my energy returning and started to increase activity based on that, but not until then. If fuel or rest and recovery are lacking, then the exercise output ends up adding stress to the system instead of strengthening it. This is why sleep and nutrient intake is first priority. It sets the stage for successful return to exercise. Without this in place, workouts are pointless and counterproductive, potentially resulting in inflammation-causing stress.
What my body and mind are willing and able to do changes with the seasons, years and stages in life. This Spring, yoga was the doorway back to physical empowerment. It helped me begin to feel able to return to swimming and weightlifting. Now, my routine includes one yoga class per week and two other days of gym workouts which consist of a warm-up swim followed by an upper body or lower body weight resistance workout. That's three days a week of 1-2 hours of exercise. They are strategically spaced from my days with patients so that I am not too sore to be effective in the office, but also to avoid muscle fatigue related injuries.
There's nothing rigorous about this current exercise schedule which is what makes it completely sustainable. When starting a new routine, being consistent is more important than making a huge impact. Come wintertime, it's possible that my needs will change and I will change my exercise accordingly. Perhaps in a future post I will take some time to address the how of tuning in to your own changing needs from season to season or depending on life and work situations. It's mostly a lifelong process of trial and error.
It can be tricky to walk the fine line between the intended exertion of exercise and inescapable demands of work life. But as you slowly increase physical activity, what always holds true is that you increase your body's capacity for emotional, chemical and physical stress to keep from rebounding into exhausted inactivity. It must be done in a loving way. Self-care routines are best implemented with gentle caring instead of harsh reprimands. If you're someone who thrives on hard line tactics for motivation – find a trainer or someone outside of yourself to play that role.
Even though it's not an easy daily practice for many, being loving and yes even permissive with yourself makes room for healthy choices. Remember real health can and does exist in imperfect bodies everywhere. It's about balance, not perfection.
Lastly, you should know that it takes at least two full months – often three months – of consistent activity in order to surpass the "transition reaction" of new exercise. When introducing a change in routine or physical demands, the brain and body will express themselves by exhibiting physical sensations that aren't always 100% comfortable.
Sometimes the transition to a better balance in life includes re-visiting old pain that might feel like re-injury as we work to strengthen around these old vulnerabilities. This is why it's important to line up some outside help during these transitions either via massage, acupuncture, or chiropractic. It's the time when I see the greatest need for support in my patients.
Food for thought while you consider your own healthy balancing act: When we act in reaction or opposition to an idea or a feeling, we set the stage for inevitable failure. When we act out of caring and acceptance for the imperfection that is, we make good and sustainable choices.

As Nancy Grace would say, "Bombshell tonight!"
It's still winter!
Okay, so it's not exactly a bombshell in a journalistic sort of investigative report, but it does sound intriguing!
Here's the truth – I really just wanted to continue with last week's theme:

Integrity is not a rare commodity
September 19, 2014 Leave a comment
Integrity, like honestly, can seem like a rare commodity to come by. But it still does exist and when it does, it should be lauded and emulated. Standing by one's principles brings so much more good things in one's life, even in business.
Let's make an example out of Ellen Finkelstein's story about her dad especially her experience with a product she purchased but failed to inspire much integrity:
"…They included creating "fake" Google accounts, including making up a name and choosing a profile picture from the Internet. It recommended deleting cookies in your browser before changing from one account to another so that Google didn't know you had multiple accounts."
What happened after was that Ellen asked for a refund of that product.
In know that business is nothing when you don't make money out of it. But that doesn't mean that it's okay to do shady business while you're at it. It' still good to be honest and to do what is right. You will soon reap its rewards and the rewards are going to be ten-fold.
Find out what happened to the rest of Ellen's story here: Speaking with integrity

Hersh: Bush, Cheney 'really want' Iran war
Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh says that the "only thing" he's hearing from inside sources is how much President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney "really want" to go to war with Iran, and the president's refusal to speak to Iran's leaders shows how little commitment he has to diplomacy.
"He has no interest in talking to anyone he doesn't like," Hersh said of the president appearing on MSNBC's Countdown Monday. "If he would talk to them, I could say to you that there's some reason we may not go to war, but the only thing you hear from inside is that these guys really want to" attack Iran.
The following video is from MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann, broadcast on October 1, 2007. (Story continues below)
In his latest article for the New Yorker, Hersh says the administration's rhetoric towards Iran shifted over the summer, from accusing the rogue regime of harboring nuclear-weapons ambition to blaming it for attacks on US troops in Iraq.
The investigative journalist told host Keith Olbermann that the "new gambit" was deliberate because administration officials believes it can build support among Americans and US allies for a series of surgical strikes aimed at cutting the flow of improvised explosive devices from Iran into Iraq. Blaming Iran for attacks in Iraq has more to do with laying the groundwork for an invasion than reflecting the realities of weapons supplies in Iraq, though, he said.
"You'd really think that every problem we have, every IED ... was given to the Iraqis by the Iranians, when in fact Iraq is a cesspool of weaponry, it has been forever," Hersh said.
Although he's unaware of any specific order to strike Iran, Hersh said he has no doubt that Bush is laying the groundwork to build support for an attack in the country, as he did leading up to the war in Iraq.
"The bottom line is, it's real easy, you hear the White House spokeswoman say, 'We're interested in a diplomatic track,'" Hersh said. "Well all he (Bush) has to do is start talking to them, and then you get diplomacy. He's not talking to them."
As the president's term draws to a close, Hersh said he was told that Bush's and Cheney's drive for war trumps their loyalty to their party and its future.
"Cheney and Bush don't give a rats ass about the future of the Republican Party," Hersh said, "when it comes to this."

Marketing your gym just isn't as easy as it used to be. Billboards, direct mailers and other member acquisition strategies simply aren't as effective anymore because of the ways that most modern gym members consume their information. With more people than ever owning smartphones and over 50% of all digital media being consumed on mobile devices, your gym may struggle to reach and engage new members without integrating new innovations into its marketing strategy.
Not sure where to begin? Here are three ways your gym can immediately update its marketing strategy.
3. Social Media
Americans now spend more time on social media than any other Internet activity. This means that there's a huge group of active and engaged social media users that are potentially new members at your club.
Here are the top three social media sites that your gym can start marketing on.
- Facebook: Facebook is by far the most popular social media site out there. To get started, your club can easily create a Facebook Business page to establish its online presence. Once you're setup, your gym has a marketing platform to foster dialogue with members, provide useful tips and information and help create buzz around new promotions or events.
- Twitter: Twitter is a microblog that is used to share messages that are 140 characters or less. Usually, businesses use Twitter to direct people to other websites that contain more robust pieces of information. Twitter is unique because it gives your club a chance to show off some personality due to it's informal and fast-paced nature. You can share articles, photos, or even inspirational quotes for your members. Check out more Twitter tips.
- Instagram: Instagram is a primarily mobile app used to share photos and videos. Since Instagram is mostly a visual network, it gives your club a great chance to show off all of it's beautiful features and amenities to the rest of the world. With Instagram you can post photos of the inside of your club, but also things like your club's employee culture, member transformations or workout videos. The possibilities are endless.
2. Integrate New Technologies
Fitness trackers are more than a fad.With 25% of the nation currently owning one and 40% expressing interest in buying one, your club is going to need to integrate them into its business model to stay successful in the future. If used the right way, wearables can be an incredible tool to help drive revenue and increase member engagement at your clubs. By making use of wearable technology and a branded club mobile app, your club can offer things like fitness challenges, rewards points and even competitive group workout sessions. If your club can use integration with wearable technology as a selling point, you're likely to pique the interest of many more prospects.
1. Mobile Marketing
Fitness has officially gone mobile. Today, 80% of your members are bringing their phones to the gym and consumers now buy 5 times more mobile devices than TV's and desktops combined. So wouldn't it make sense to structure the way you market your gym around this mobile revolution? By using a club mobile app for your gym's mobile marketing, you can use things like barcode guest passes to convert prospects into members, push notification discounts to sell additional services and a rewards program to help keep your members engaged.
Unlike direct mailers or billboards, you can calculate the exact ROI on your campaigns and get access to member data that would otherwise be inaccessible. "With mobile marketing, you can increase revenue more efficiently and effectively, while also positioning your club to be successful in our increasingly technologically savvy world.
Mobile marketing is the future. Don't get left behind. Download our Mobile Marketing Manifesto today.

On Christian Perfection
Many people think Christians should be perfect. We aren't! And when we aren't, people call us hypocrites when in reality we are simply human. More disturbing, Christians often do this to each other - brother against brother, leader against leader, denomination against denomination.
My view of humanity is simple - you are a Christian or you aren't.
If you are a Christian, your human body shares space with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the perfect part. It's the part that places in us the desire to be like Jesus. It's the part that puts that check in our system when the human side of us does something really stupid.
And the human side of us always does something really stupid.
If it weren't for our tendencies toward humanness, Jesus would not have had to offer himself as the perfect sacrifice to atone for our poor choices. If God had fully infused us with the Holy Spirit, making us wholly perfect, there would have been no need for Jesus. But God did not want perfect zombies wandering the earth loving Him under divine force. He wanted children who would love Him by choice. Through the teachings and actions of Jesus, God sent the perfect Holy Spirit to dwell in our imperfect human hearts.
Through the Holy Spirit, Christians are led, disciplined, inspired, and encouraged. And when our humanness causes us to stumble off the road as we walk, the Holy Spirit is there to gently nudge us back or, at times, give us a good strong kick in the rump to get us back on track.
Does that mean it's okay for a Christian to sin with wild abandon, without conscience, and without any desire to seek forgiveness? No! In fact, if you are sinning and there is no check in your system (that little nudge that says, maybe I shouldn't be doing this), then I implore you to check your heart and determine if the Holy Spirit truly resides there.
When a Christian finds herself gossiping about the unmarried couple who just moved in across the street, the Holy Spirit will jump in and say, "Whoa, child, are you so freely without sin that you can speak so boldy of your neighbor?" The Christian will say "no, I am not!", realize she has stumbled, stabilize herself, invite her neighbors to church, and continue on her walk. Will she continue to make mistakes? Yes, she is human, but she will learn and grow and try to do better with each step.
I visualize two roads. One is the spiritual road, engulfed in light, leading to sanctification and a residence in Heaven. The other is the human road, engulfed in dark, leading to the rewards of the flesh and... well... death, hell, the end.
As the Christian walks along the spiritual road, her eyes occasionally veer toward the temptations of the dark and inviting medians and off-ramps. If her relationship with God is strong, the Christian will turn her eyes back toward Heaven. But in a weak and tired moment, her big toe will cross into the dark, and then her leg, and then her shoulder, and before she knows it, she is walking or sprinting up the dark off-ramp. But the Christian is blessed because when she gets to the top of the off-ramp, the Holy Spirit will grab her ear and drag her across the street, down the on-ramp, and back onto the will-lit road.
Yes, the Christian has sinned, but she has not abandoned the road. And why is this okay? Because God, knowing we are human and sin is inherent, sent Jesus to cover us when stumble.
In contrast, as the non-Christian walks along the human road she has many choices. God tries to make the non-Christian's choice easy. The off-ramp to Heaven is a flashing bright light - easy to spot along the dark road. God gives the non-Christian many opportunities to take the right exit, but all of the temptations in the medians and off-ramps of the spiritual road are abundant and easily accessed as the non-Christian wanders along the dark road. She doesn't even have to venture onto the medians or the off-ramps - the fun is in her immediate path. She doesn't have to think about it as she passes the flashing off-ramp to the light road. She's having too much fun on the dark road - what could be better?
Besides, the spiritual road will just tell her all she's doing wrong, and when she does wrong, she'll just be called a hypocrite like all those "so-called Christians". So why bother, she decides, and eventually she doesn't even notice the flashing off-ramp anymore.
Here's the interesting thing about a Christian. A Christian will also step onto the non-Christians' dark roads so we can flash our bright light a little closer to those who have begun to ignore the well-lit off-ramps. So sometimes Christians haven't stumbled off the spiritual road at all - we've just decided to carry it with us as we search for those who haven't yet discovered it.
So, if you are not a Christian, I, an imperfect and sinning Christian, will continue to flash a light as you journey along your dark road. I pray you follow it to the right exit before your road ends.
Oh, and there is such a thing as Christian perfection. He is called Jesus Christ.
Scripture Reference: 1 John 1:5-10

Fiber Geeks are everywhere in mainstream geekdom; you'll see knitters and hookers (crocheters) at cons working a few rows at panels, interrogating cosplayers where they got or how they made their own knit or crocheted pieces, and if the stars are right you may even see a group of fiber geeks break out the spindles and wheels in a really, really long line. Certain fandoms within geekdom do have some of the most visible and devoted knitters and crafters, and one of the most noticeable groups are the knitters of Doctor Who.
The most famous examples of geeky knitwear in the history of geeky knitting is of course, the Fourth Doctor's scarf. A legendary test of endurance, the scarf is made up in the simplest stitch in knitting repeated over and over again for a dozen feet or more. Many are started but few are completed, but it can be completed by a patient novice. It can even be done marathoning your way through classic episodes or through the modern series, after you are familiar with the knit stitch. The Doctor Who Scarf , a website devoted only to the fourth Doctor's scarf, breaks down all the variations, striping patterns and possible yarns that could be used in scrupulously geeky detail.
Doctor Who themed patterns for crafters abound on Ravelry, the knitter's social site. (An account is required to browse most pages, but it is a free, friendly and fun website) There you can find amigurumi Weeping Angels, Sonic Screwdrivers and Adipose, tams and doilies of Rassilon, the Fifth Doctor's cricket jumper and Ood ski masks. The much beloved TARDIS and the terrifying Daleks are represented on any item you can imagine: sweaters, hats, stuffed toys, washcloths, mittens, and socks
One of my favorite patterns is a subtle and intricate tribute the Doctor's TARDIS in the Bigger On The Inside shawl, by noted knitting writer and teacher Kate Atherley. A lace project done in light yarn and on small needles, it's not a project for a beginner, and the results are stunning. It's even more striking modeled on the Doctor's own Karen Gillan, who was given it as a gift from fan Lisa Panedo.
Probably the biggest sign of how entrenched knitters are in Doctor Who fandom are the new special yarns created by Lorna's Laces, a popular yarn company known for their whimsical, clever, and often geeky colorways. They've created a special TARDIS shade of blue for the sock-weight yarn Solemate and named it after the pattern for the the Bigger on the Inside shawl. Even more exciting is the new yarns dyed to the match the colors of the Fourth Doctors' scarf in both sock and bulky scarf weight. Bundled kits with patterns are being put together with these yarns to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary special. Even if you're just an observer of knitting geekdom, you'll quickly see that if a knitter loves something, they have to knit a sock in a tribute to it. Stay tuned for more journeys into the world of geeky fiber crafting, and feel free to contact me below or in the forums if you have questions about starting to knit or crochet yourself.

It's nice to see an article about us Whovian knitters. The article was fab but just one thing, the knitter who gave the scarf to Karen was Lisa Pinedo. You misspelt her last name.

Achillea millefolium gets around, hence the term cosmopolitan. Common yarrow is distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere and in Maine across a variety of habitats, including alpine or subalpine zones, disturbed soils, cliffs and ledges, meadows and fields, and shorelines of rivers and lakes. With fernlike foliage and clusters of tiny flowers, yarrow can reach up to 3 feet in height. It is a rhizomatous perennial that will form a mat in the right conditions. Its strong growth often causes it to be considered an aggressive weed. Yarrow was introduced to North America from European and Asian sources during colonial times and has spread across the continent since then. Its long history includes medicinal uses, as well as a fumigant and insecticide. It has been used in traditional medicine to stop bleeding (and its name Achillea is after Achilles in Greek mythology who used it to stop the bleeding of his warriors in the Trojan War); yarrow does contain a substance – achileine – which enhances blood clotting.

The question we get asked most often these NHL lockout days is, "So how are you doing with no hockey?"
And while I cannot legally comment on any specifics, I can reply with a resounding, "NOT WELL."
I give you a text message conversation between my husband and I on a night when instead of working a game against the New York Islanders, he decided to "help" at home with the two middle children while I took our youngest to a birthday party.
Me: So what do you have planned tonight?
Him: Just ordering a movie and pizza.
Me: Cool.
10 minutes later
Him: What's your social security number?
Me: What do you need that for?????
Him: I'm trying to order a Pay-Per-View movie and it's not working.
Me: Why isn't it working?
Him: I don't know why it's not $%&^#* working--you sound like the operator that just hung up on me twice.
Me: I appreciate your frustration sir, how can I help.
Him: If you tell me there are 9 customers in front me, I'm filing for divorce.
Four minutes later..
Me: Did it get fixed?
Him: Text Matty, I'm using my cell phone to straighten out the pizza order.
Me: I'll just call the house phone.
Him: Don't--I'm still on hold with the cable company.
Me: What's wrong with the pizza order?
Him: I made the mistake of ordering cinnamon "sticks" and they only serve cinnamon "rounds."
Me: Why does that matter?
Him: It doesn't unless you're Archimedes. Which is what I'm trying to explain to them if you'd quit texting me.
20 minutes later
Him: Hey, remember that time last summer when we ordered a pizza and had it delivered to the community pool?
Me: Um, yeah??
Him: So does Papa John because that's where they delivered our pizza.
Me: It's November. The pool is closed.
Him: Well, some Tennessee penguins are enjoying some cinnamon rounds right now.
Me: Good thing it's the rounds--I hear sticks are bad for penguins.
Him: I know where Papa John can stick his cinnamon right about now.
8 minutes later after a panicked text from my son.
Me: Is everything ok?
Him: Yes, dear, why do you ask?
Me: Well, your son just sent me a text saying you were swearing at the lady on the phone. He said you needed "parental control?"
Him: That's exactly what I exercised when the cable company wouldn't lift our parental controls and let us order a movie tonight.
Me: I'm on my way home.
Him: No rush, we are watching a movie on the computer.
Me: ?
Him: I told them to stick their cable box where the cinnamon don't shine.
Me: Uh oh.
Him: We are getting a satellite dish on Monday.
Me: I hope they carry the NHL Network.
2 minutes later.
Him: @#$%^%
I repeat: NOT WELL. Please send hockey.

Hello hello hello!
This week has been another good one! I can't believe how fast time is going by. So I just try to make the most of every moment. Elder DiPeri and I are still running and are getting in better shape now so the miracle continues. Today we even did a 3 minute tempo run! That's a big deal for us. At this time, I want to teach you a British word and relate it to a word we as Americans tend to use. The word is biscuit. In America, we understand a biscuit to be a compact breakfast pastry type thing. The British, however, understand it to be something completely different.
Just a few days ago, Elder DiPeri and I went out to eat with one of the ladies in the ward. It was around lunch time and breakfast was still available. Elder DiPeri then asked, "Do they have biscuits here?" The lady we were with was confused as to why he would want a biscuit, or as she understood- a cookie. For the remainder of our time together, we tried to figure out how to explain to her what a biscuit was in America. And the final conclusion was, that because there was no equivalent in England, we simply could not do it.
Do you know how frustrating it can be to explain something to someone who just can not understand? I think we have all experienced that. What is even more frustrating is when you absolutely know what you are trying to help that person understand, but you still can not get your point across. In this case, I absolutely know what a biscuit is in America- I ate one many days of my life. But when asked to explain sufficiently what it was to someone who had no experience with one, I could not. The only way for this ward member we were with to completely understand what a biscuit is would be to experience one for herself. She would have to do something to get her hands on a biscuit so that she could eat it and thus understand better what we were trying to help her realize.
The same applies to the gospel. Sometimes we absolutely know what we are trying to explain. We know what it feels like to receive answers to prayers. We know how to recognise God's assistance. We know how to learn from the Holy Ghost. We know all these things. Yet when we try to tell someone about it and they don't immediately understand, we get frustrated. Rather than get frustrated, there is only one thing we can do- help them to have their own experience with the things you are trying to explain. It is only through their own experience that an understanding will be reached. As a missionary, it is not my job to convince people that what I believe in is right. It is my privilege to help people receive their own witness and to have their own experiences so that they understand exactly what I am trying to explain.
If you haven't had your own experience, quit relying on other's experiences and opinions- rather it be a missionary, a scientist, a parent or anything else. Simply have your own experience with God. He is the only real source of truth.
I love you all!
Elder Walker

TYRONE, Pa. (AP) – Police say a central Pennsylvania couple who repeatedly called 911 to report imaginary prowlers – including mustachioed men with silly faces – were under the influence of bath salts and endangering their two small children as a result.
Online court records don't list attorneys for 32-year-old Melissa Zimmerman and 28-year-old Branden William who face a March 5 preliminary hearing on drug, false alarm and child endangerment charges.
The Altoona Mirror reports the couple called 911 three times in about three hours starting at 3:12 a.m. Feb. 7 to report prowlers that police couldn't see, even when the couple pointed to them on a porch and on surveillance video.
When police returned the last time, the couple's 6-year-old daughter was holding two knives and told police her father needed them because there were people outside.

This article explains the steps involved in processing a bulk change of your active customers' BECS Direct Debit mandates over to GoCardless from another Direct Debit provider.
Before you begin this process, we recommend getting in touch with one of our Sales team if you haven't done so already.
The steps involved in completing a bulk change over to us is as follows:
Preliminary step:
Before the bulk change process can begin, you will first need to establish if your customers' Service Agreements are held with your business or with your existing Direct Debit provider/bureau.
In addition, you will need to check the notice period agreed in your customers' Service Agreements.
Step 1:
Once you have confirmed the above information, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com letting us know you wish to begin the bulk change process.
Please ensure you include confirmation of the details from the previous step in your email (i.e. with whom your customers' Service Agreements are held, and the agreed notice period).
GoCardless will then send you a template notification email you can use to inform your customers of the change in provider.
Step 2:
You will then need to send the notification email to all customers whose mandates you wish to move over to GoCardless.
This will need to be completed in accordance with the notice period agreed in their Service Agreements (i.e. your intended bulk change date must be a sufficient number of days in the future to allow for the full notice period to run).
Step 3:
Once all customers have been notified, please confirm this with GoCardless via your existing email thread. This email should include the following:
- Confirmation that all customers have been notified
- A copy of any notification emails or letters sent to your customers.
Step 4:
We will provide you with access to our bulk change import tool, and confirm the deadline that you will need to have completed the import process by. We will also confirm the date that we will create new mandates for your customers in our system.
You will need to download the csv import template to add all your customers' details to and then upload into your GoCardless account.
Step 5:
GoCardless will verify and approve your uploaded details, before processing the creation of your customers' new mandates on the date agreed (and specified in the previous step).
You will receive confirmation from GoCardless once completed.
Step 6:
You will need to ensure that all previous (transferred) customer mandates are cancelled.
If you're moving to GoCardless from another provider/bureau, they will need to perform this action on your behalf.
We recommend that this action is performed on the same date as the new mandates being created.
Step 7:
Within 7 days of your customers' mandates being set up, GoCardless will send all affected customers an updated Service Agreement.
This agreement will confirm your merchant name (as it appears in the GoCardless system), along with your Direct Debit User ID.

Man rescued from 2 metres of snow after avalanche in Cypress Provincial Park
Victim dug out then long-lined from helicopter to search and rescue station, in hospital with serious injuries
North Shore Rescue says a man is in hospital with serious injuries after he was caught by an avalanche and rescued off Hollyburn Mountain at Cypress Provincial Park Saturday afternoon.
"He is extremely lucky to be alive," said NSR team leader Mike Danks. "When they did uncover him, he was breathing at that time so that's a very positive thing.
"You know, it just reinforces why you need to have avalanche safety equipment when you're going into the backcountry, and you need to really be aware of the current conditions," said Danks.
Rescuers say the man was buried by up to six feet of snow for around five minutes in the backcountry of the park after an avalanche swept down through trees and off a cliff, covering a distance of more than 120 metres, according to an NSR post on Facebook.
NSR says the victim was skiing with a friend in Tony Baker Gully at the 800-metre level on the south branch of Strachan Creek.
The victim's partner was partially buried, but was able to free himself and help dig out the victim. NSR says both men had transmitters and the victim's friend had a probe and shovel to begin digging him out enough so that he could breathe.
Another five skiers nearby also assisted in the rescue, and called NSR, which then flew volunteers to the area in a helicopter around 1 p.m. PT.
They then attached the victim to a long-line under the helicopter and flew him to one of their stations at Capilano Gate. A long-line is a cable hung from the bottom of a helicopter, which rescuers and the victim attach to with a clip.
Prepared skiers
From there he was flown by helicopter to a park in North Vancouver where he was transferred to paramedics and taken to Lions Gate Hospital.
NSR says the victim received serious internal injuries and has hypothermia, but was conscious when he was rescued.
"These two skiers [were] prepared with proper avalanche gear. If they did not have the correct gear and training, the skier buried in the avalanche would have died," said NSR's post.
"You know, it just reinforces why you need to have avalanche safety equipment when you're going into the backcountry, and you need to really be aware of the current conditions," added Danks.
In 2006 a snowboarder was found dead in the same gully that rescuers at the time described as a "hell hole" that had trapped many skiers and snowboarders over the years.
Callaghan Valley avalanche death
Meanwhile also on Saturday, a 32-year-old man died after being caught in an avalanche in the Callaghan Valley near Whistler B.C.
Avalanche Canada says on its website that the avalanche risk on the South Coast is currently considerable.
"Two incidents Saturday remind us that a potentially dangerous storm/wind slab remains sensitive to human triggering," it said in a post.
"Caution and restraint is urged at this time."
- Man dead after being caught in avalanche near Whistler, B.C.
- Stranded skiers rescued after frigid night near Cypress Bowl
- Abbotsford, B.C. student dies during Whistler ski trip
Earlier this afternoon two backcountry skiers were skiing on Hollyburn Mtn. One of the skiers triggered an... https://t.co/1wISoXRmaz—@NSRescue
