This thread is effectively a continuation of "Random drive fails with new Matrix Storage Manager 8.9" that has been locked - a pity because it was a valuable source if information.
I am about to conduct a major hardware and OS update of a PC having a RAID10 setup. Previously the system has been running 8.8 under Vista without problems. The update will include Win7, but I am uncertain which version of IMSM/IRST to use:-
Intel's Elizabeth, in post 423 of the original thread, stated that the Win7 in-box driver is similar to 22.214.171.1243, but not identical. Has anyone using the Win7 in-box RAID driver had any problems with this version? However, I think that unless the "manager" part of IMSM has been separately installed the user may not be aware that it was randomly dropping drives from the array if they recover quickly.
I would appreciate feedback from anyone using the embedded Win7 RAID driver.
I'm glad I found these posts on the problems with drives being dropped by the ICH10R controller because of the IMSM 8.9 driver.
When searching for the new RST 22.214.171.1247, I came across RST 188.8.131.521. Is this newer one legitamate?
8.9 seems to be a huge problem for many people. Wouldn't even boot for me.
9.5.1004 allowed my system to boot and appeared to be OK at first, but has given me a week of unbelievable grief. System would regulalrly freeze (30mins to 2 hours after starting up) without BSOD and with only an occasional iastor error in the logs.
Today, I 'rolled back' to the 'in the box' Win 7 driver, and so far all appears to be fine. Zero errors in event log and (so far) five hours of flawless operation. The console from 9.5.1004 seems to work OK with the 'in the box' driver (but I suspect that an earlier console would be better).
I'd strongly urge you to stick with the drivers that install with Win 7 if you want the system to work!
Well I ended up installing 184.108.40.2061 last night and left the computer on overnight. So far, no problems but I will update this if that changes. I ran the verify and it reported 0 errors (verifications or media). It may take a while to see if this works because the dropping of a drive from the RAID did not happen daily, It was random and took a week or two before it would happen. I could try copying large avi files across my home network to stress test it.
This morning I enabled the write-back cache (I have a UPS so I'm not worried about a power failure).
I've been running 184.108.40.2067 since December 7th without a problem (knock on wood). It's highly likely the 8.9 random drive failures problem has been resolved. I've been fortune so far not to have experienced any of the problems that seem associated with this beta.
And I look forward to the final release.
I used 188.8.131.527 for about 12 hours, during this time two times computer locked up and 2 drives dropped out from RAID10, this was enough testing and installed driver version 8.8, did RAID rebuild and now i have 2 weeks uptime without any problems.
If you have problems please try 8.8. I'm definitely not upgrading any more...
System: Intel X58, W7-64
Thanks for your input everyone.
The reason I was originally asking the question was because I was about to execute a major hardware and software update (including 64-bit Win7) to an existing system which was a 7 hour flight away. I have now completed that upgrade.
Because I had experienced problems with 8.9 on other systems (running Vista) but found 8.8 perfectly stable I started by installing 8.8 on the Win7 system. I immediately found 8.8 did not run well on Win7, with freezes during bootup. I was not surprised that 8.8 did not work properly because Intel make it very clear that 8.8 does not support Win7.
The next choice was to use the inbox driver, which worked well. The inbox 64-bit version installs as 22.214.171.1242. Because the inbox driver was working so well I did not see any point in trying the troublesome 8.9 or the yet-to-be released 9.5
I then installed, using the -N switch, the the RAID manager from 8.8 (8.8.01009) which also seems to work well with 64-bit Win7 and the inbox driver.
Based on my experience my advice would be to use the inbox driver withWin7 (at least on 64 bit systems) and wait until the official release of 9.5 before attempting to upgrade.
I'm still running 184.108.40.2061 since my December 23rd post. Not one problem yet and I often leave the system on overnight.
I have SMART turned on in Bios and I also turned on the write-back cache.
The only strange thing I found with the Rapid Storage RAID manager software is that it displays a little bubble message over the system tray at login that is intended to make you feel good but it uses the words "Hard Drive" and "Failure" in the same sentance. It actually says something like "one or more of your hard drives are protected from failure" (because of the RAID type used). Anyone who had problems with drives falling out out of a RAID will be sensitive to these pop up messages. It is displayed the same way as the real failure messages. I think Intel should drop that message from the software.
I have used 18.104.22.1687 drivers since early December and have not encountered any problems or errors. I have two hard drives in RAID1 and another two in RAID0. My main "harddrive" is an Intel SSD X-25M G2 160MB. OS is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Motherboard is ASUS P7P55D EVO (with IMSM option ROM version 8.9.1023).
My setup is as follows and I have not had any issues with the new RST 220.127.116.111 driver. Notice that I have the Time-Limited Error Recovery (TLER) to 7 seconds for read and write. I am wondering if these drivers assume that you have enterprise level drives for your RAID configurations and is banking on the TLER being set to ON.
Hope this helps,
Was keeping up with the prev thread for a while just came back to it to see if there was a fix and it's locked.
Still no official release from Intel after 8.9 for Windows 7. Shame, it's been way too long. I also, through official Intel Chat Support on 12/2/2009, documented my setup and related failures which were/are same as most on the prev thread. Never heard from anyone from Intel except the form-letter type email with the link to the following that to this day still says downgrade but 8.8 not for Win7 or try 9.5 which is of course was never officially released:
Interesting that no one from Intel has commented on this new thread. Elizabeth was working hard, but no word from her toward then end when the prev was locked. We really need a perm resolution to this 8.9 issue. In the mean time, a post from Intel with a current status and that Intel is still working the issue toward resolution.
Take a look at this page. http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=15251&lang=eng
Thanks for the link Keith, great heads-up. This is very interesting, the file is dated 14 Oct 2009!
Like many others, I have been regularly checking to see if 9.5 has been officially released. Pre-release versions have been available for several months, but still no full version. I had put this down to Intel having problems in making it work correctly, or perhaps problems in getting the Trim command to work for SSD's. But the existence of this Intel M/B board version is puzzling, when as far as I am aware the controller hub on these Intel boards is identical to the controllers on other vendors boards. Presumably Intel have fixed the problem for their own boards, but the fix does not work on all boards because of differences in chipset implementation. If this is the case 9.5 may solve the problem with some boards, but there may still be problems with a few others - but how do Intel know this when they say that they have not been able to reproduce the problem? Puzzling. Clarification from Elizabeth would be very helpful.
I have found that 8.8 works fine on all the Vista systems I have built, and the embedded driver works well on all Win7 systems, which when coupled with the grief I experienced with 8.9 on several boards, leads me to be in no hurry to experiment. However, I have previously used Intel board only versions of the chipset INF files with other vendor's boards with no problems at all.....
Has anyone tried these Intel-only 9.5 drivers on non-Intel boards?
I have been using the 9.5 driver for almost two months with the EVGA X58 SLI Motherboard. I had problems with the 8.9 drivers but this driver seems to work flawlessly.
I'm still running 188.8.131.521 since December 23rd. Not one problem yet. I had many problems with drives dropping out of RAIDs with the 8.9 varients but I never tried the one that came on the Win7 DVD much past the initial installation.

AUSTIN, Texas - Tyler Boss achieves a feat that hasn't been done in nine seasons, but it wasn't enough as Oral Roberts falls to Texas, 4-3.
Boss is the first batter since Matt VanDerBosch against Chicago State in 2004 to hit two or more triples in a game. They are also the first two triples for the Golden Eagle club this season.
Boss picked up his second triple of the game, scoring Logan Domenico from second who started the inning with a walk and Graham McIntyre who followed with a walk, tying the ball game up at three runs apiece.
The Golden Eagles eventually loaded the bases with two outs, but a groundout ended the threat.
However, in the bottom of the inning, picks up a run on three singles and an ORU error to regain the lead for the final time.
The heartbreaking loss marks the longest losing streak for the Golden Eagle program since the 2006 season. They have dropped the last six games, moving their record to 5-10.
Boss finished the game with his two triples and drove in all three runs for the Golden Eagles. McIntryre added two hits, while Domenico, Chris Williams and Brandon Healy each recorded singles.
Texas started the scoring off in the bottom of the second. Mark Payton hit a triple just under the 375-foot mark on the left field wall, scoring on a groundout with C.J. Hinojosa at the plate.
In the top of the fourth, Boss reached base for the second time in the ball, drawing a walk in the second inning, with his first triple to the wall in right-center. Jose Trevino drew a walk in to lead off the inning, scoring on the Boss triple to tie the game.
The Horns yet again regained the lead in the bottom of the fifth inning. Much like second inning, Texas led the inning off with an extra base hit as Jacob Felts doubled to left of Golden Eagle reliever Guillermo Trujillo. Two batters later, Felts crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly from Mark Gottsacker.
As has been the story much of the season, the Golden Eagles have had trouble driving in runners when they reach base. On Tuesday evening in Austin, at least one ORU batter reached base in each of the nine innings.
Texas added their third run of the evening on a controversial call with two outs and the bases loaded. Nate Goro picked up a groundball, outrunning Matt Moynihan at second. Unfortunately, the umpire standing in the middle of the field didn't see it that way, calling Moynihan safe, allowing Payton to score.
Up next is a tough three game set at J.L. Johnson Stadium against No. 13 Cal State Fullerton, beginning on Friday. Game one is set to begin at 6:30 p.m., with game two beginning on Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 1.

Today the price of oil reached an intraday trading record high of $140.39 - nearly four and half times what a barrel of oil cost when President Bush was inaugurated. [CNN, 6/26/08; EIA, 1/19/01]
The Bush/McCain/Republican solution? Give away more federal lands to Big Oil. But oil companies do not need more places to drill - they are sitting on 68 million acres of federal lands they are not drilling - and 81 percent of known U.S. oil reserves on public lands are open to them.
Rather than give away more federal lands to Big Oil, the New Direction Congress is telling Big Oil to "Use It or Lose It" (H.R. 6251). Oil companies must start drilling on the 68 million acres which they are currently warehousing or be barred from obtaining any new federal leases until they demonstrate they are developing their leased lands. Despite what President Bush and his Republican allies claim, there is no current statutory requirement on Big Oil's leases mandating production or development. This bill would change that - requiring companies demonstrate they are either producing oil or gas from the leases or are in the process of diligently developing the leases they hold.
- The 68 million acres of leased but inactive public land - equal to the size of Colorado - could produce an additional 4.8 million barrels of oil and 44.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas each day, which could nearly double U.S. oil production and cut oil imports by one-third. It can come on line much faster than any newly leased lands, which would save only pennies per gallon, more than a decade down the road.
- The fact is 80 percent of the oil available on the Outer Continental Shelf is already open for leasing. The Bush administration's own Energy Information Administration says drilling the OCS would have no impact on price until 2030, and then it would be 'insignificant.'
- Guy Caruso, the Department of Energy's own Energy Information Administration chief, says opening up closed areas to offshore lands will do nothing to bring down high prices at the pump. "It would be a relatively small effect, because it would take such a long time to bring those supplies on… It doesn't affect that much." [Reuters, 6/25/08]
- The fact is that drilling in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge wouldn't yield any oil for 10 years--and then would only save the consumer 1.8 cents per gallon in 2025.
- All told, the U.S. has only 1.6 percent of world's known oil supply. But every day, Americans use a quarter of the world's daily oil consumption.
The fact is, we can't drill our way to energy independence.
The New Direction Congress is working to bring real relief to those feeling the squeeze from high gas and diesel prices and ensure the needs of families and businesses are put before the interests of Big Oil companies. The American people deserve a more affordable, cleaner, greener energy future.

Nothing to Declare
Professionals – such as doctors, lawyers, and financial advisors – face conflicts of interest (COIs) when they have a personal, and often financial, interest in giving biased advice. Requiring COI disclosure has become a popular way to try and protect consumers from biased advice, but previous research has shown that mandatory disclosures have little impact on advice recipients, and may even lead advisors to give more biased advice. However, virtually all of the prior studies questioned the effectiveness of COI disclosures that advisors were unable to avoid.

When travelling to Canada, you'll want to make sure you have the proper Canada travel documents for you and all members of your family travelling with you to prove you have the legal right to enter the country.
Everyone from every country arriving in Canada by air, land and sea needs a passport or equivalent travel document. U.S citizens can use other valid travel documents such as a NEXUS Card, a U.S. Passeport Card or an Enhanced Driver's License (EDL).
Visit the Canada Border Services Agency website for additional information.
Divorced parents who share custody of their children should carry copies of the legal custody documents.

It's tough to write an article about nanotechnology that doesn't come across as a laundry list of possibilities. Nanotechnology has great potential in the field of medicine, materials science, and electronics. Products currently on the market include cosmetics, sunscreen, water filters, solar panels, stain-resistant fabrics, and bread containing nanocapsules of nutrients. For a more complete list of products that make use of nanotechnologies, see the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies' nanotechnology consumer products inventory http://www.nanotechproject.org/inventories/consumer . The varied products on the consumer products list have one thing in common: they have all emerged from a new way of examining and manipulating the world.
It's difficult to spot the beginning of a technological revolution. If you had been at London's Great International Exhibition in 1862, you might have seen some objects made of a moldable material called Parkesine, the first synthetic plastic. No one who saw those samples predicted the uses to which plastics would later be put. Creation of the first integrated circuit in 1958 set off developments in the electronics industry that led to the modern information revolution. But back in 1958, no one would have predicted the cell phone, the laptop computer, the Gameboy, and the many other electronic devices that dominate our lives.
Like these earlier technological changes, nanotechnology has the potential to spark revolutionary changes in how people live their lives. This article describes just a few of the applications of nanotechnology that are currently being explored in laboratories worldwide. Talk to researchers, and for every application named here you'll get a hundred more. They won't all come to fruition, but even if one in a thousand does, the world will be a different place.

Talking exclusively to FOX 29 today, Mark Kessler says he does not regret posting those videos; even though he clams callers to his cell phone have threatened to "decapitate" his children.
"It's shocking," Mark Kessler reflects.
"You've got auto weapons[,] you're firing[,] you are spewing swear words at the camera," responds FOX 29's Jeff Cole. "I've met you and I found you scary."
"Well, it was for shock and ahhh value," says Kessler.
If it was shock and ahhh that suspended police chief Mark Kessler wanted, he got it. Suspended for 30 days, starting at the end of July, the small town police chief now says he expects to be forced out or leave his job when he returns to work.
"My mayor told me they're being pressured from the insurance carrier: unless I am terminated or fired they'll drop the insurance for the entire borough," says Mark Kessler.
Kessler, a 16 year veteran police chief of tiny Gilberton, PA posted two videos of him firing automatic weapons and shouting swears at anyone who'd come and take his weapons. Kessler, in his early 40's, says he believes in no restrictions to gun ownership
"Where does it state in the constitution that any elected official has the right to regulate arms?" he asks. But when pressed, Kessler said guns should be restricted to mentally ill individuals.
"I don't agree that truly sick individuals should have the right to possess a firearm, but how are they to defend themselves?" he says.
Kessler says he'd give guns to children as long as they knew how to use them.
"How does a kid in North Philly protect himself from a gun-toting criminal?" asks Cole.
"Good question. Maybe the answer is to teach kids about gun safety."
When asked if his videos have gotten in the way of his gun rights message, Kessler said this:
"I don't regret it because I believe I have had an impact across the country, tens of thousands of emails from people. My phone doesn't stop,"
Kessler says if he's fired, he'll work with the group that he founded to protect the constitution. He also says that his buy-out could be worth about $100,000.
"Your video was done in such a way that people see you as a villain. Has the tape has gotten in the way of your message?" asks Cole.
"Yeah, some people think there could be a little less emotion and certain words--they weren't surprised by the guns; they were surprised by the vocab," answers Kessler.
"If somebody thinks they can dial 911 and the cops will come and save them that is not correct. Cops are there to clean up the mess," says Kessler.
You can watch the full interview here.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

With few major attractions and an unpretentious bohemian flavour, PORTLAND makes for an excellent spot to slow down and relax in the wealth of good diners, microbreweries, clubs and coffeehouses. Though sporting grand Beaux Arts architecture, Portland has a small-city feel thanks to a walkable urban core of short city blocks and attractions that cluster close together. The city is also internationally famous for its bicycling culture, with two-wheeled commuting a rising trend and major streets losing their auto lanes to make way for more prominent bike lanes.
The city was named after Portland, Maine, following a coin toss between its two East Coast founders in 1845 ("Boston" was the other option). Its location on the Willamette River, just 78 miles from the Pacific, made it a perfect lumber and trading port, and it grew quickly, replacing its clapboard houses with ornate facades and Gothic gables. Though the heroic age of timber is long gone, as a reminder of that era, the town's quirky downtown "Benson Bubblers" – four-headed drinking fountains funded by a lumber baron – are constantly flowing.

Here are some of the most notable box sets of the season in rock and pop:
Various artists, "The Rise & Fall of Paramount Records, Volume One, 1917-1927" (Revenant Records/Third Man Records, $478.94): An oak cabinet houses the latest magnum opus from Revenant, an enterprise that specializes in lavish musical presentations, and Jack White's vintage-music-obsessed Third Man Records. "Volume One" (with a sequel scheduled for next year) presents the first 10 years of Wisconsin-based Paramount Records, a furniture company that got into the record business almost as an afterthought and ended up nurturing the careers of countless major artists in jazz, gospel, and blues, including King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Blind Blake, Ma Rainey and Duke Ellington. The set's best feature is the way it sheds new light on such relatively unheralded talents as Jimmy O'Bryant and Sister Ernia May Cunningham. It includes six vinyl albums, access to 800 digital tracks by 172 artists, an astonishing array of vintage artwork and a hardcover book.
Sly and the Family Stone, "Higher" (Sony Legacy, $46.58): The most comprehensive overview yet of the grandest work by the San Francisco producer, DJ, multi-instrumentalist and erstwhile gospel singer Sylvester Stewart. His multi-racial, co-ed band reflected the spirit of the music, which explored funk, soul, rock and gospel with disregard for category or color. Of the 77 tracks, a handful are previously unreleased – including revelatory performances from the Isle of Weight Festival on the heels of the group's myth-making appearance at Woodstock.
Donny Hathaway, "Never My Love: The Anthology" (Atco/Rhino, $49.98): The Chicago vocalist is frequently name-checked by in-the-know R&B singers as a major influence, but his work hasn't received attention on par with the soul greats. Trained in classical music and raised on gospel, Hathaway recorded three striking studio albums at the onset of the '70s and collaborated with Roberta Flack. But mental illness plagued him the rest of the decade, and he committed suicide in 1979. "Never My Love" puts his achievements in context, smartly divided into a disc of hits, a live performance that emphasizes Hathaway's virtues as a band leader and musician, a series of duets with Flack, and key tracks from his lost era in the late '70s.
Various artists, "Purple Snow: Forecasting the Minneapolis Sound" (Numero Group, $35): The two-CD (or four-LP) set documents the emergence of Minneapolis funk in the late '70s, popularized by Prince and the Time. Futuristic keyboard textures and springy rhythms merged with rock guitars to create a sound that would rule the charts in the '80s (including Janet Jackson's early successes produced by the Time's Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis). A hardcover book, packed with the level of scholarship and artwork now routinely expected of the Chicago-based Numero Group, provides an insightful backdrop for early tracks by Prince collaborator Andre Cymone and future star Alexander O'Neal; the pre-Time innovations of Flyte Tyme; and the Earth Wind & Fire-like anthems of Haze.
Bob Dylan, "Another Self Portrait (1969-1971): The Bootleg Series Vol. 10" (Columbia, $18.33) and "The Complete Album Collection Vol. One" (Columbia Legacy, $179.98): "Another Self Portrait" collects outtakes from the Dylan sessions that produced his much-derided "Self Portrait" album in 1970 and its follow-up, "New Morning." The stripped-down demos, many with Chicago folk-scene regular David Bromberg and Al Kooper, present a revelatory glimpse of what "Self Portrait" might have been: the singer at his most relaxed, making acoustic music of consolation, heartbreak and resolve in an intimate setting with his friends. The original "Self Portrait" and its overbaked production resurface on "The Complete Album Collection," which includes each of Dylan's 35 studio albums, six live albums and two volumes of singles and rarities (though still lacking a few essentials such as the B-side "The Groom's Still Waiting at the Altar").
Woody Guthrie, "American Radical Patriot" (Rounder, $89.49): A limited edition six-CD box set chronicling the folk singer's first recordings, many of which were previously unreleased. These recordings, for the Library of Congress and other government sponsors, present a seemingly more benign version of the folk singer than would become apparent with his later protest songs. He's charming, funny and full of sharp insight in interview snippets with the archivist Alan Lomax, and the songs demonstrate a deep understanding of blues and country, the music that defined rural America and its citizens. He sings of hardship, murder and the region (Oklahoma and the Southwest) where he was born and grew up, a place "where the dust blows, the oil flows and the farmer owes." Scathing songs such as "Jesus Christ" and "The Jolly Banker" sound as contemporary today as the day Guthrie sang them.
Various artists, "They All Played for Us: Arhoolie Records 50th Anniversary Celebration" (Arhoolie Records, $51.66): A three-day benefit concert to celebrate the California roots label's half-century mark included performances encompassing Tex-Mex (Santiago Jimenez), Cajun (David Doucet), blues (Taj Mahal), folk (Laurie Lewis), folk-rock (Country Joe McDonald), jazz (the Treme Brass Band) and everything in between (Ry Cooder). This three-CD set covers the vibrant performances and supplements them with equally vivid testimonials about the label and its legendary founder, Chris Strachwitz.
Stephen Stills, "Carry On" (Atlantic/Rhino, $42.49): The singer-guitarist moved from pristine folk to blues-inspired rock and then the blown-out adventurousness of Buffalo Springfield (check out the astonishing cosmic bluegrass of "Bluebird") in a few short years during the '60s. His songwriting had an edge, whether in the paranoia and protest of "For What it's Worth" or the haunting "4 + 20." Though Crosby Stills & Nash were hailed for their harmony vocals, Stills' guitar playing, whether in flamenco-accented acoustic mode or Hendrix-inspired electric storms, shouldn't be overlooked. Unfortunately, there's not enough greatness to fill four CDs, as Stills softened and dampened his sound in a misguided effort to keep up with trends in the '80s and '90s.

ORILLIA - A Bradford man faces multiple charges after allegedly fleeing from police in Ramara Township Thursday.
Police say an OPP officer was conducting radar enforcement on Highway 12 shortly before 2:30 a.m. when an eastbound vehicle sped by.
The officer activated his lights and siren and attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver refused to pull over.
A second OPP cruiser was called in and assisted in bringing the driver to a halt near County Road 46.
Police say the male driver, the lone occupant in the vehicle, appeared to be impaired.
A 44-year-old Bradford man is charged with impaired operation, over 80 and flight from police.
He is scheduled to appear in Orillia court on Dec. 18.

Hi Warriors!!!! Happy Hump Day! I can't wait until Thanksgiving break....3 days off work and a trip to the beach to visit my sisters...woo hoo!!!
Claude: I wish my gym had a KB class....or even had kettlebells for that matter!!!! I enjoy my KB workouts, but I think a class would really challenge me. I LOVE deadlifts! I always do them in front of a mirror and make sure I am going down from my chest and my eyes are focused on the mirror, and that my spine and lower back stays in alignment. It's all about the form!
BD: Hope you had a wonderful anniversary!!! Good luck on your test this week...I know you will do great as always!!
Soraya: I love the crunchy frog!!! I have very short legs so no problems there! I wish I had long legs!!! Sounds like you are doing great with abripper X. I admire your dedication!
Frick: Have fun in Austin....keep it weird! I used to live in Houston and loved to visit Austin. I ran the Austin marathon in 2009 and loved every hilly minute of it!!!! It was my most favorite marathon ever....it is such a beautiful city. Not sure about your question on the Polar....I only run with my Garmin 405 forerunner.
Parson: I'm glad Joanna is doing better. I will keep her in my prayers. Glad your workouts are going well!
Tazz: Praying for you. How have things been?
Today was cardio day for me, and my last day to run before my half marathon on Saturday. I ran almost 5.5 miles in 45 minutes....great run! I will rest my legs on Thursday and Friday, but still plan to do some upper body work plus core. Nutrition has been super clean since Sunday :) :) :) and I am feelin' GREAT!
Island, Cuervo, and all you other Warriors....be the best you can be today!
Hey Soraya, Re: AbRipper
Froggies (@Claude, arms outstretched and legs 2" off ground, bring knees towards chest, arms in around knees, then extend both back out. 25 reps) are not a prob for me but I have rolled over a few times. My nemesis is the v-up/roll-ups (sit ups, then lift legs up, when hips are off ground, extend arms towards toes. Instead, I do a modified crunch - on back, feet 2" off floor, arms outstretched over head with 8# ball. Bring knees to chest, arms towards ceiling.
I have the dvd memorized right down to the comments: "if you need breaks, take breaks...I know it burns...don't hit my hand..the man's makin' contact elbow/thight..." When I'm on the road, I say them out loud. Cracks, me up.
I am still sore from 2 days ago (working core tomorrow. Hope the abs comply.
I have upper body work out at lunch and Soccer practice with the kiddies this evening.
Git-r-dun, Warriors. Daylight's wasting.
Ok. Here I am sitting at the airport waiting for my flight to Chicago to receive my round 2 of chemo. To early to tell yet just how the chemo is doing. I will tell you it's not a party, but a necessary evil. I remain extremely optimistic that this cancer is a temporary thing and I will be rid of it soon enough.
I am glad they figured out why I was continually losing weight. The tumor in my pancreas basically shut down my digestive system and in order for my body to get nutrition I have to take enzymes to digest my food for me. Now that I am finally gaining a little weight watch out I will be starting P90X again soon. I will try to keep you updated as things progress in this battle. Cancer doesn't know it yet but IT IS GOING DOWN.
Claude... I thought you wrote that you were going to the gym with CHRIST!! I thought, "good for you, man! no better company", then I re-read Chris! I am sure a great companion too. haha! Work those deadlifts... I do them better with dumbbells, but when weights needed to go up, hands hurt so I switched to barbells and started doing them wrong (not bending the knees) and that is how I hurt my back at the end of C1. I am staying away for now. But love how they work the Hams.
Runner... thanks for the admiration, it encourages me. On the short legs, when I was a teenager I wanted short legs sooo bad!!! You couldn't catch me dead in skirts because I was embarrassed of my long skinny legs. Oh, those teenager stages!
Awesome on the super clean eating there.
Frick, we struggle with he opposites. I do Vups/roll ups all the way. But I lose my balance on the Crunchy Frog, can't even keep legs in the air! I started laughing out loud reading your memorized lines!!! hahah. "I know it buuurns" "We may even do some extra" "Bonus" "woa, woa woa". hahah. I wish we could all work out together some day. Hey, we could make our own DVD and sell them and split the money!!!!!
TAZZ, I love the attitude! "Cancer doesn't know it but it's going DOWN!" You could be in the upcoming DVD too!
Question: I know the guys who are working on gaining, I have noticed they eat 3 times a day and are doing great! But has anyone switched to 3x a day eating when trying to loose? I am so relaxed since I started doing this and water intake has improved so much, and I make sure I eat bigger meals, stay clean and keep the calories to minimum 1200. But there are days I second guess myself wondering if I will continue to loose. I was hoping to find out myself within a month or so and then I can totally relax knowing it won't affect my progress.
Today was Insanity and I should have started out slower on the warmup. I started out like a storm and 10 minutes before it was done I couldn't continue! I was sick to my stomach. I have to admit... I had my sister watching me on Skype all the way in Holland and I was a bit of a show off too since she wanted to see how I do. Oh, well... That's what I get! Tomorrow is lifting UB. I am amazed how my body doesn't hurt anymore. My body must have adjusted to the routine. Last Challenge I was switching up things every 2 weeks in Cardio and every 4 weeks in weights. This time I will do Cardio the same the whole 12 weeks and Weights I will change routine at week 6. I am sure this will help my body not to be sore every week. And by then I am sure I can follow both AbripperX and Insanity all the way with no breaks!
Hey Soraya. U-Go-Girl...sounds like you are really rocking it.
I used to have the same issues with using dumbbells. I use them exclusively for squats, lunges, etc. I bought a pair of wrist grips that helped immensly - no more pain. they are basically a j-shaped hook that is velcro'ed to the wrist and bend out at the palms. weight is transfered to the arms, not hands. Great for carple tunnel. I recommend them.
Have a good week, gang. I'm gonna be incommunicado until at least Tues.
Buzz - great quote. I have a friend in Chicago that went through this as well and is a survivor - YOU CAN DO IT! Stay strong!
Hi Warriors,
Thanks for checking in. Way to stay positive your sounding like your old self, glad you able to digest that food and gain some weight. You will be in the gym soon. There are many survivor's of this disease and you will be one of them. You have alot of fight in you. Just pace it out and YOU WILL WIN.
Christ is in everyones corner all the time.lol. Chris on the other hand is with his trainer so I wo alone. sort of. I had alot of traffic walking by last night watching me. I tried BD's TM wo . After getting set up with 15% incline and 3 mph. Here's the breakdown After 10 min. wanted to quit kept going until I hit 28 min. coaching myself all the way. reduced speed 2 mph- 2 min. back to 3mph for 2 min. then 13 @ 2 mph. This was more challengeing than I thought it was going to be. I gave it my all. I think I lost focus and defeated myself mentally wasn't expecting that. This is hard for me to admit but BD You Da Man. I will keep trying this wo until I get it or blast past it and get bored. hehehe! On the eating as long as you keep it clean and eat enough cals you should be able to lose that way I think. Keep tracking it and let us know how it goes. Remember 20 CUPS OF WATER A DAY TOO!
Why don't you suggest it and get everyone else to they may bring it in if there is a demand for it. At least you are doing kb on your own. Rest day for you today right. Hope it warms up a bit for race day.
Thanks for the info totally something different than what I was thinking. You are too funny remembering the routine like that. You sound like my kids when they watch Big Bang. They start saying the lines before the actors.lol Really anoying too! teenagers.lol You certainly beat yourself up good.
New computer yet? I know you are killing you wo's be strong you can do it.
Have a great day all ! Kick your wo's in the butt hard. Time to get to work pretty slow around here.
Good Friday Morning Warriors,
It's sure getting quit around here. My turn to post back to back. Had a great AB wo last night after work. Managed 3 circuits in an hr. better than the last time. Still trying to work my way through this new routine with every wo at 5 circuits no breaks in between. I take breaks when I reach failure then continue. My eating is not that bad not snacking at night at least not bad snacks. Usually nuts and dates for my seet fix. Trying to stay away from that too. Linda goes for her one week checkup this morning. Her eyes have been getting tired after work. I think she is getting headaches from it. KB tomorrow then we will see what the weekend brings usually never a dull moment.
Have a great race You should be able to break your record. Just think the sooner you finish the more breathing room you'll have for the rest of the day. lol. I know how busy you are now. Don't forget above all enjoy the run you have worked to hard not to.
Have a great weekend hopefully the weather will be nice for all.
Hi all!
No time for replies. I should be back on next week with a little more time. Our computer is back up and running, and I bought a new laptop yesterday (early X-mas). Now, I just have to learn how to use it; it's a Mac. Workouts have been good and eating has been better; still not 100%, but good!
A few more weeks of school and then I am out for a month....can't wait!!! I need some downtime!
Anyhow, make it a great day, and have a fabulous weekend!!!
TAZZ: Praying for you daily. You got this; you are a Warrior!!! HUGS!!!!
"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday!"
Happy Friday, Warriors!
BD: Glad you got your laptop! I am not used to Mac's either...good luck!
Claude: Thanks for the well-wishes for my race! I always tell myself that during the run....the faster I run, the quicker I will be finished...ha ha! It was 24 degrees here this morning, so I am expecting a very cold start to the race!!! Better cold than hot though in my opinion.
Tazz: Thank you so much for the update. I love your attitude! You are in my prayers.
I am PUMPED for my race tomorrow!!!! I am just sooo excited! I am going this afternoon to the Expo downtown and to pick up my race packet. This morning was an easy workout for me focusing on back and biceps. My shoulder is still giving me trouble....uugghh! I iced it this morning, but need to be icing more consistently.
Okay Warriors, if you are up early tomorrow morning, think of me running 13.1 miles!!! I will try to check in after the race. Always chasing that PR......
Early HOliday Greetings to All Warriors (can you tell I work in retail??): BDMOM: Nice to hear from you and best of wishes with your Mac, may it bring you many hours of joy and organizational help with your busy life. I hope your foot is doing better too!! TAZZ: Great to hear from you, you have the true heart of a warrior and I believe you can beat this problem like you have all other challenges in your life. I am glad too the resources are there to lend a hand as well. You have my prayers and concerns always! Frick: Have a great Turkey day and we hope to hear from you soon! Don't overdo it on this holiday, remember the basic Turkey deal meal isn't that bad, it's how its prepared and what is put on it that makes it more unhealthy to eat. Turkey has some great protein in it and the sweet potatoes are great au natural with out the candy stuff. Runnermom: Best of wishes on your up coming run and I hope you bring home a medal or do your best times ever there. Maybe be will see you at the WDW marathon one day in the future. Sorray; thanks for your positive input and it sound like you are doing quite well in your current challenge. You are very brave and determined, I wouldn't try to do a challenge during the holidays again, did that once not again this year though. too many social events at home and at work going on these next two months for me. I plan to start in January with a 12 week Mens fitness Hard BOdy challenge, stop for two weeks (AR) and then start with my C4 Challenge for BFL in the second round for the year, when they are posted. Hopefully I will drop my BMI by 5% and then when doctor certified, get another 150$ bonus from our health insurer with the MOuse when I submit it before August next year. (Only have to lose 11.5 lbs or so to meet that one and last challenge I lost more than that in bodyfat). Claude: Thanks for checking in with us. Sound like you are progressing along very well and We are all glad that you have decided to stick with the program or try others as well in the same realm. Happy Thanksgiving and shopping (my retail side speaking again) to all Warriors this week and watch those calories too!! If I missed anyone will try to mention in my next posting. Keep Moving Forward!!! Now got to go and read some more of that Mens Fitness plan book, just getting to the good part, the three types of programs, beginners, intermediate and advanced!
Hey warriors!! It's been a minute but just wanted to check in here.. Still been chugging along with weights and KB's started training a second person and it's been 2 weeks and she is down 6lbs and lost about 7 inches around her body.. Man nothing feels better than seeing someone put in the effort and really making a commitment and then watching the results come in.. she is sooo fired up and so ready to learn anything and everything she can about being a better and healthier person.. My first solider "hula lady" is now down over 20lbs!! People are starting to notice and approach her as to what she is doing so things are going really good. Seeing the joy on their faces makes these late night training sessions all worth it!
Tazz: Thank you for checking in with us and I am soo happy that you are starting to get some weight back and I love that attitude of yours! You are a real warrior indeed sir.. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Claude: how did KB go this weekend? im sure u killed it
Runner: How was the race? break any PR's?
Parson: Great youtube channel I subscribed! :D Hey with regards to your front squats, Have you always done corss armed or have u tried Olympic style grip on the barbell? I used to do cross armed but really hard to control when the weight goes up. I have now moved to Olympic style and I feel alot more comfortable.. It's kind of rough if you don't have the mobility but I kinda forced the hold on myself tucking my fingers under the bar and then placing my shoulders under my fingers it's worked so far and no real discomfort until I rack the weights and my wrists and elbows feel really stretched but I haven't had any pain after the workout in the last 2 weeks that I switched holding the bar. It did get easier to hold this week to.. Just gotta get the muscles used to it I guess..
BD, Bill, Cuervo, Soraya, MR. FRICK, anyone I may have missed.. Hope you all have a wonderful turkey day.. the next 2 days will be a blur with work.. but I'll be thinking of all of you!!! aloha
Morning Warriors!
I'm cranking along...workouts and all. My daughter is also getting better everyday!
Island - Yes, I have done front squats both ways. I haven't done them in 3-4 months now. In all honesty the only reason I didn't stick with Oly style was due to mobility in my wrists. Translation - being lazy with them LOL. I knew I couldn't go cross armed forever. My wrist mobility should be fine now, so when I add them back I will stick with them the right way. Like you said - it's 2-3 weeks of just working through it. My back squat is progressing nicely. I've added over 30# to my 5 rep max in about 2-3 months. I hope to hit over 400 by summer (maybe sooner). I hit 345x5 yesterday. Anything beyond this is all time PR territory. One day my bench will shoot up like that LOL...
Alright Warriors - what are you Thanksgiving plans? We have family coming to our house - not sure how many yet. I am looking forward to the feast! I think my daughter is planning on making me an apple pie! We are so blessed and have so much to be thankful for! What a wonderful time of year!
Have a great day Warriors! No weights today, but I have Taekwando tonight. Not sure if I told you guys, but I got my orange belt a couple weeks ago. The new techniques make me hurt so bad...fortunately the pain is only between my head and toes!
I have lecture this morning, but no lab. Yay!! I will have time to get my full workout in, but it isn't really a long one today anyway (bis & tris) & cardio. I then have to run to the apple store. I bought a wireless mouse for my laptop but it's not working. It works fine on my husband's Dell. I am going to see if I have to set it up a certain way or if I should get a mouse made for the Mac. I am loving the new laptop....still a bit intimidated since it is so different, but I am learning new stuff everyday! I have a HUGE report final due for my nutrition class the first week of December, plus another lab practical and final coming up in Biology. It's going to be a busy few weeks. The girls have a half day of school tomorrow, and then we will be baking. So, Parson....we will be having Thanksgiving at our house; we usually do every year. My niece and her husband will be here from Kansas, and my dad will come over, as well as my youngest sister and her family (around 12 people total). We do the traditional "feast." I usually make a bourbon pecan pie, but this year the girls want to make a German chocolate cake, so we will make that as well as a pumpkin pie and raspberry jello salad. My sister and I alwasy do Black Friday shopping, so will be up early Friday to do that. Our weather has been so warm; I don't feel like Christmas shopping yet..ha. We are usually in low 70's this time of year, but have been and will continue to be in low to mid 80's! Guess we will be opening the windows on Thanksgiving, instead of having a fire in the fireplace. We will also put up our Christmas tree this weekend; we always do that Thanksgiving weekend. Five more weeks of the Kris Gethin program, then off a week. Still trying to figure out what I will do next.................
runnermom: how are you recovering from the race on Saturday? How are you feeling? I know you thought you might be getting sick. Is your husband home yet, or are you still pulling double duty? Is football season over for the boys yet? When does basketball start? Enjoy your time off this week; you have earned it. What do you have planned for your next "challenge?"
WPBill: You just keep on rollin!! Way to go. I am sure you will kill that next challenge, just like all the ones before. You can lose that 11.5# by then, no sweat.......well, actually a lot of sweat. Keep doing what you are doing.
Island: What a great reward, for you to see the product of your dedication and training with these women friends of yours. I am sure they are so grateful to you for the time and energy you have vested in them. It sounds like they have their heads in the right place and are making healthy choices all the way around. Will you be able to spend some time with your kids this weekend?
Parson: Sooooo happy your daughter is improving. It truly puts the right perspective in Thanksgiving. We all have so much to be thankful for, and that is what we need to focus on this week, and always!!! I don't remember reading about your orange belt...but Congratulations!!! That is fantastic. Before you know it, you'll be teaching those classes!!! Enjoy the time with family on Thursday!!!
Make it a great day, Warriors!!!!
Good morning Warriors,
My wo yesterday didn't go as planned earlier in my head. By the time I got to the gym I felt really tired for some reason. Did my usual warmup and broke a sweat. That usually doesn't happen and it took the wind out of my sails. Did 20 min. on the eliptical and was done. Time to hit the sauna. Still feeling crapy today so will try and get my wo done at noon. I plan on trying to do some of yesterdays wo as well as much as I can fit in in 1 hr. I didn't drink my protien shake last night as I felt I didn't deserve it for such a poor performance. I will get passed this and continue.
KB was tough again as always. Here's what we did you might want to try it.
Burpee pushup with vertical Two hand swings Situps
jump at the end of each one and slap your knees.
30 20 30
25 25 30
20 30 30* this is as far as I got. I got in trouble for
15 35 30 going too deep on my swings. Just a
10 40 30 force of habit.
5 45 30
Glad to hear you are helping out another Dudet way to go. Hopefully you will have some time with the kiddo's for your holiday.
Glad you got your laptop now get that mouse working.lol Hopefully this will help alot with school. We bought one for my daughter last yr. and then we bought a notebook for her as the laptop was too heavy to lug around and she wanted something light to take notes with nothing fancy. Beleive it or not she also uses her phone as well.lol. I think she is a techno freak. lol. I mean that in a loving way daddy's girl. How much technology can a person use. Sounds like you will be off to the races this weekend and for the next few. Enjoy the family moments in between as I know you will.
I know your moving forward hopefully things will get back to normal for you. Your normal not anyone elses. lol. Enjoy your family time.
Glad to hear your daughter is getting better as the days go by. Glad you haven't stumbled yet and are still cranking along. Hopefully the girl will feel up to enjoying the festivities you have planned and the rest of your family to.
Thanks for checking in and as usual you are still killing those wo's. I sure hope you drop that 5% and get rewarded this time around. That's the least the Mouse can do for you and your efforts. Enjoy the holiday with family.
To all the rest I have missed Have a great Turkey day and Christmass is just around the next corner keep killing those wo's.
Hi Warriors!
I just realized that I haven't checked in since my race on Saturday. It was a tough race....hilly, chilly and windy! But, I am a Warrior and pushed through. I finished in 1:55. Not my best time, but not my worst! It is always my goal to finish my half marathons in under 2 hours, so I reached that goal :)
Island: So glad it is going well with your hula girls! I hope they appreciate you :)
BD: I am feeling better today. I really think all the cold windy air from Saturday hurt my chest and gave me some head congestion. Plus, I didn't rest my body well enough due to all the running around I had to do for the kids over the weekend. I am still a single mommy until Wednesday....Mike will be meeting us at my sister's house in Wilmington for Thanksgiving. It is quicker for him to drive from Va. to Wilmington then to come all the way back down to Charlotte. I still plan to run the Turkey Trot on Thursday morning. Mickey wants to run it but said he wants to run alone with his I-pod. He is growing up way too fast! Sounds like you will have a crowd at your house. Have a wonderful time with all of your family!
Parson: So glad that your daughter is doing well. Yes, we have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!
Claude: I hope you are feeling better. Sometimes we just need to listen to our body and rest when needed. Looks like you have a great workout planned for when you are feeling better!
All you other Warriors, have a great Thanksgiving!!!! I am thankful for all of you!
