Exploratorium, San Francisco
Robyn Higdon, a producer from the Exploratorium in San Francisco, looks up from
the broadcast site in Yiwu, China, during preparations for Friday's live coverage of a
total solar eclipse. Check the Exploratorium's Flickr site for more images.
There's nothing like seeing a total solar eclipse with your own eyes - but if you just couldn't make it to Friday's remote totality zone, you have at least three chances to catch the event online in real time. And if you'd rather sleep in, you can still catch up on what you missed. It's the next best thing to being there.
Unlike a lunar eclipse, which can be seen by half of the world, total solar eclipses are visible only along a narrow track for mere minutes at a time. In the totality zone, the moon's disk covers the sun completely, producing daytime darkness. The sun's shimmery corona, or outer atmosphere, becomes visible around the dark disk.
Such blackouts occur only when the moon is precisely lined up between the sun and the earth, which doesn't happen at every new moon. From a global perspective, total solar eclipses aren't all that rare: The last one occurred two years ago, and the next one is due in a little less than a year. But the track of totality is determined by orbital mechanics rather than a market survey, and so eclipse enthusiasts often have to travel to Earth's remote frontiers.
Friday's eclipse is a classic case: The moon's blackest shadow touches down in northern Canada at sunrise (5:20 a.m. ET), then races eastward as the world turns, zooming through Greenland, the Arctic, Siberia, Mongolia and China. The eclipse's last hurrah occurs at sunset in west-central China (7:20 a.m. ET).
To get a sense of how the shadow moves across the planet, check out this animated image from Andrew Sinclair. And to see how the eclipse looks from different locations at different times, take a look at Larry Koehn's Shadow and Substance Web site.
The main event in Xinjiang
The time spread is what makes it possible to see the eclipse online several times, depending on how many hardy souls are willing to set up Webcams (or, preferably, full-fledged broadcast operations) at locations along the track of totality.
The headliner act would have to be the hourlong show broadcast live from western China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The Exploratorium science center in San Francisco will present commentary and demonstrations from 6:30 to 7:30 a.m. ET, in partnership with NASA and the University of California at Berkeley.
In addition to the science, you'll get a sense of the excitement surrounding the event: According to China's Xinhua news agency, the place is already a madhouse. The climax comes at 7:08 a.m. ET, when the area experiences two minutes of totality.
We'll be broadcasting the show at msnbc.com, but you can also get to it through the Exploratorium or NASA. You can even meet up with your virtual pals in Second Life to share the experience. For those who prefer their totality straight up, there will be a telescope-only video feed showing the eclipse's progress between 6 and 8:15 a.m. ET.
If you miss the show, we'll provide a video clip showing totality as part of our eclipse roundup.
The warmup act in Novosibirsk
Even before the eclipse passes over China, you can catch totality online from Siberia, courtesy of the Novosibirsk Guide. The eclipse is due to go total there from 6:44 to 6:46 a.m. ET.
The Russian city of Novosibirsk is also the base of operations for Live! Eclipse 2008, the latest Webcast production from Japan's Live! Universe crew. The Live team has broadcast 14 eclipses from spots around the world. Its coverage of Friday's event will begin at 5 a.m. ET, climaxing with the two minutes of totality at 6:44.
The follow-up at Weinan
The area around China's ancient imperial city of Xi'an - well-known for its terracotta army - is near the tail end of the totality track. As a result, it gets less than two minutes of totality, starting at 7:19 a.m. ET. The University of North Dakota's eclipse team will be broadcasting from Weinan, 24 miles (39 kilometers) from Xi'an.
The North Dakotans not only offer the usual Webcast and blog, but they also provide a chatroom where viewers can ooh and ahh (or kvetch about the weather or the bandwidth). However, you'll want to make sure you've installed all the software required for the big show.
Other options
Outside the totality zone, billions of people in Canada, Europe and Asia are in a position to see a partial solar eclipse, which has its own kind of appeal. (If you're in the partial-eclipse zone, be sure to wear adequate eye protection when you're watching the event.) Taiwan's Atlaspost is promising online eclipse coverage (much of it in Chinese), and Norway's Astrofoto will have a Webcam going as well.
To learn about the science behind a solar eclipse, check out our "Moonshadow" interactive graphic. (We have a similar graphic for lunar eclipses, too.) You can also click through a time line of historic eclipses, test your knowledge of eclipse lore and see the "greatest hits" of eclipse imagery.
For detailed information about eclipses past, present and future, you just can't do any better than the NASA Eclipse Web site, maintained by Fred Espenak, the researcher known as "Mr. Eclipse." You can hear some of Espenak's words of wisdom in NASA's collection of podcasts.
Another valuable resource is SpaceWeather.com, which also keeps track of auroral displays, meteor showers, solar activity and much more. Do you have other eclipse resources to add? Pass them along as a comment below. Then, settle in and watch the skies ... on the Internet.
Update for 6:55 a.m. ET Aug. 1: I just caught the tail end of the total eclipse from Novosibirsk via Live! Eclipse. You can still watch the partial phase of the eclipse, but you have to go to the Web site's main page to see the coverage. The navigation to the live video wasn't as clear as it could have been. Also, I wasn't able to connect with the Novosibirsk Guide coverage. But our video stream of the Exploratorium coverage from China is working just great - and totality is coming up in just a few minutes.
Update for 7:20 a.m. ET Aug. 1: Whew! That was close! Clouds obscured the Exploratorium's view of the eclipse until just before the total phase. They moved away just in time to provide a good view of the corona, including a prominence that looked like a licking flame.
If you haven't installed the software already for the North Dakota coverage, it's too late to do it in time for seeing the view from Xi'an. However, you'll be able to replay the Xinjiang view anytime you want once we've added the video clip to our eclipse roundup. Just to emphasize that point, you'll soon be able to click here to watch the eclipse. The Exploratorium will be archiving the video as well, and we thank them for their cooperation.
You'll soon be able to find video on demand (VOD) of the view from Novosibirsk as well, on the Live! Eclipse site. If you run across any other eclipse clips, please add the Web links in your comments below.

Bellator's founder Bjorn Rebney
Rebney, 46, went to Ohio University on a football scholarship, then to law school. He spent a few years doing construction-defect litigation but hated it. He soon found a position with sports-law group Steinberg Moorad & Dunn and began arranging deals for athletes like boxer Oscar De La Hoya.
A few years later Sugar Ray Leonard approached SMD looking to recast his public image. In 1998, Rebney left Steinberg to create Sugar Ray Leonard Boxing, a promotion company jointly owned with Leonard. Still, much like his stretch in insurance law, Rebney wasn't in love with his work. "I was never a boxing guy," he says.
Rebney's true passion was MMA (mixed martial arts), an under-the-radar fighting sport. "As soon as that bell rings," he says, "the fighters are shaking hands. They've got black eyes, they're busted up, bruised everywhere, and yet they're laughing together after the fight. I think they're the most heroic athletes on the face of the earth."
More Second Acts: From rock and roll to real estate
There was one leading MMA promoter, UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), but Rebney believed there was a flaw in its matchmaking structure: Fights are arranged behind closed doors, as opposed to winners advancing in a tournament format. So he left Leonard to start something from scratch: a sports entertainment entity that would sign MMA fighters, set up live events, and produce them for television. Taking on UFC was a major risk -- other competitors like Affliction and IFL folded -- but Rebney knew how to make deals, and he knew MMA.
The road to starting Bellator (Latin for "warrior") was arduous. Rebney says he "feverishly searched for capital" and "got on every single cheap Southwest flight I could find" to talk with fighters. He made his pitch 62 times in 14 months. He spent all his savings and put a second, then a third mortgage on his house.
More Second Acts: How a bra seller found her fit
In 2008, Rebney got lucky: The investor he called at Connecticut hedge fund Plainfield Asset Management was an MMA nut who had been training in the sport since 2004. Thirty minutes into Rebney's pitch, VP Tim Danaher told him to fly right to New York. Plainfield invested in the mid-tens of millions to finance Bellator's first season, in 2009.
Today Bellator is the world's second-largest MMA promoter, though still far behind UFC, which has been valued at nearly $2 billion and is majority-owned by Zuffa, a Las Vegas MMA company. In 2011, Viacom (VIA) purchased a controlling interest in Bellator. In January all of Bellator's programming will move to Viacom's Spike Network, replacing UFC, which moved to Fox. Danaher, who left Plainfield in 2010 to become Bellator's president and COO, says Rebney's "a visionary." A happy one, finally.
Rebney's advice for making the move
Have a thick skin. So many investors told Rebney no. "I have a very thick skin, but time after time I'd make the pitch and could tell that it was going nowhere. I kept at it."
Enlist your partner. Rebney's wife didn't like MMA. Then he took her to a live event. "The excitement, the adrenaline, the crowd -- she took to it," he says. "Now she'll watch, and thank God I have her."
Do what you love. "I'm getting paid to do what I used to pay to do," marvels Rebney. "I still can't believe I even get to walk into the locker room."

UVALDE, Texas -- Dozens of dogs that were taken from the Uvalde Animal Shelter earlier this month are ready for adoption.
That shelter was closed after deputies found unsafe conditions there.
Forty-one dogs were brought to the Humane Society of Williamson County. They've all had medical check-ups, been spayed or neutered, and been vaccinated.
You can adopt them starting Saturday. The Humane Society of Williamson County is located at 10930 E. Crystal Falls Parkway in Leander. You can call them at 512-260-3602. Click here for more information.

There is a New Jordan in Town: Jordan McCabe
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
There is definitely a new, extremely talented Jordan in the world of basketball. It's not Michael Jordan. It's Jordan McCabe. Mind you, this one is destined for the NBA if he plays his cards right. If, for some reason the NBA is not his final destiny, the Harlem Globetrotters could present a fall-back position for Jordan McCabe.
He was recently featured on a "The Little Heroes" segment on KOMO News Television out of Seattle, Washington. Watch the sick-mad skills on this youngster, at the tender young age of 12-years old, and yes, persevere through the 15-second lead-in. It's worth it.
If you watch the whole segment, you realize that this kid isn't just about performing unchallenged ball-handling exhibitions to wow onlookers. Jordan McCabe joined a pick-up basketball with people well in advance of his age and performed quite well, sharing the rock, dishing assists, and scoring when he had an open look (and sometimes even when he didn't have an open look).

Fire Season Safety
2011 is turning out to be the worst year for fires in Arizona history. Dense dry grass growth has creating a perfect fuel and coupled with extremely hot conditions, low humidity and relentless winds, fires have resulted in hundreds of thousands of acres burned across the entire state. As we approach the holiday weekend, it is paramount that we take precautions against any more destruction of our precious forests, homes and property. Please remember that although fireworks are available to purchase, most cities forbid their use within city limits. In addition, the Arizona State Forest Service has just issued restrictions on the use of any fireworks on the nine million acres of unincorporated State Trust Lands, Game and Fish Wildlife Areas and Arizona State Parks.
What can you do to prevent wildfires? The answer is simple – create "defensible space." This term refers to the area around a structure where fuels and vegetation are treated, cleared or reduced to slow the spread of wildfire towards the structure. It also reduces the chance of a structure fire moving from the building to the surrounding forest. Defensible space also provides room for firefighters to do their jobs. Your house is more likely to withstand a wildfire if grasses, brush, trees and other common forest fuels are managed to reduce a fire's intensity.
Whether caused by careless humans or Mother Nature, this year's devastating fires are a cruel reminder of the vulnerability that our homes and property have against the power of wildfires.

Can one use the miswaak during the khutbah?
When should a person refrain from playing with pebbles on the ground and using miswaak during the Jumu'ah prayers? Is it from the time when the imaam ascends the minbar or from the beginning of the khutbah? Because I see many people who do not stop using the miswaak until after the imaam has started the khutbah, and some of them continue to use the miswaak during the khutbah.

Sun: Growth Engine Open Source
In the classic business of high end infrastructure, Sun has been experiencing diminishing sales. The company recently presented its sales figures at the Munich preview to the CeBIT trade show, which opens in March, along with a hint of what they will focus on at the show.
Comparing the second quarters of their fiscal years 2008 and 2009, Sun's enterprise server segment, for example, declined by almost a third. Somewhat less marked but still noticeable are losses for disk arrays (-5%), tape drives (-13%) and other storage systems (-54%), along with the services (-9%) associated with these segments.
If some of us don't quite want to accept these results, it's based on a certain trust that these losses can be offset, and more than compensated for in the future, by a contrary trend. Sun certainly presented some pretty detailed number comparisons. On the hardware side they related particularly to the Chip Multithreaded Servers with SPARC CPUs under Solaris that are in high demand in the Web environment because of their parallel processing capabilities. Another revenue source is, and has always been, the x86 architecture of the small and middle range servers. Also, virtualization, which Sun has pursued with various concurrent technologies. Sun's software sales have actually grown by 21%, highlighted explicitly by their Open Source offerings. For example, MySQL sales grew by 55% and Java by 47%.
Appropriately Sun will be focusing at CeBIT on just this growth market in free software. For example, they will present new storage systems of standard components with free platforms and open protocols, with which Sun expects to save a good three-quarters of their costs. MySQL will likely be a focal point, along with Java, Netbeans, developer tools and the Glassfish application server, all of which are under Open Source licenses. Sun will also likely show off its free Open Office and VirtualBox, which in its desktop virtualization role works hand-in-hand with their thin clients (Sun Ray devices).
Next to its presentations in Hall 6 at CeBIT in Hannover, Sun will also participate in the Green IT theme in Hall 8, most likely with thin clients, power-saving servers and the Sun Eco Services Suite with tools to implement IT energy management programs.
Open Source Software Sales"Sun's software sales have actually grown by 21%, highlighted explicitly by their Open Source offerings. For example, MySQL sales grew by 55% and Java by 47%."
What sort of sales are those? Java and MySQL are free as in beer AFAIK, unless we're talking about support contracts in which case I wonder how much money does the reported growth amount to? Is the trend encouraging enough to shed some optimism to us Sun/Solaris funs who are worrying that Linux and RH in particular will become the standard for OSS OSs in the the datacentre?
thanks for the potentially good news !

U gonna git kik'd
I was a member of this forum about 2 or 3 years ago, but since fell out of the habit(or addiction, whichever you prefer) of drawing every day. I love making stories for manga, but had sub par(and that's putting it lightly) drawing ability for it. But I persevered and continued till I am where I'm at today. I currently have 5 manga works underway, 2 of which are actively being added to, the other 3 are older concepts.
Something I have to add, Manga Tutorials was the big breaking point for me to really advance my work and practice. It was an inspiration to see so many people sharing their ideas and artwork, and the tutorials themselves were excellent.
I just recently purchased a tablet and Manga Studio EX4 and a new computer that can run it all, so I'm anxious to get back to drawing.

Yep... Totally didn't see the reintroduction. This new forum format is pretty new to me. So, If this can be switched over, please do. If not, sorry to take up space.

It raises fasting blood sugars. It increases the risk for type 2 diabetes. Millions of people suffer from it. And many don't even know they have it.
Meet obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA.
If you have the disorder, you're not breathing properly while you sleep because your airflow is blocked repeatedly throughout the night. Nearly one in four men and one in ten women suffer from it. (There are a couple of other varieties, but OSA is the most common.) And it goes hand-in-hand with type 2 diabetes. In a survey on the subject, Gary D. Foster, PhD, wrote that, "among all of the sleep disorders, OSA has the strongest association with type 2 diabetes." That's even taking into account other risk factors, such as weight, sex and age.
The main risk factor for OSA is obesity. "Excess weight deposits extra fat around the thorax, reducing chest compliance and functional capacity, while increasing oxygen demand," wrote Foster, a professor of medicine and public health and the Director of the Center for Obesity Research and Education at Temple University. Foster has found that 86 percent of obese patients with type 2 diabetes have undiagnosed sleep apnea; 33.4 percent had mild OSA, 30.5 percent had moderate, and 22 percent had severe. Further studies have suggested that untreated OSA has a negative effect on blood glucose control. It's also linked to depression, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and a multitude of other health problems.
So how do you know if you have sleep apnea? A doctor will look at your medical history, and a physical and a sleep study will be required. The good news is that OSA can be treated easily and successfully. The prime therapy is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a small breathing device with a mask that you wear over your mouth and nose. The device pushes air into your throat while you sleep. Researchers have also looked into the effects of simply losing weight. Such studies have been limited so far, but they look promising.
Foster finished his overview by recommending that doctors stay alert for cases of obstructive sleep apnea as obesity and type 2 diabetes spread, noting that "clinicians should increase patients' awareness of the signs and symptoms of OSA and refer for sleep studies when appropriate."

When the detective arrived at my home, he had a folder in his hand. "We just have some paperwork to take care of first," he said. After I signed his forms, he gave me a box with the clothes my mother was wearing when she was murdered. It had been almost a year, but I needed to touch them, to know how many times she was shot, to see where she had been hurt.
My mom, Dawn Hochsprung, was the principal at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Recently, I told a woman that my mother had passed away just over a year ago. I was trying to be polite, but I instantly felt disgusted with myself for using the term "passed away." My mother was shot to death through no fault of her own. That is not "passing away." She was killed, gunned down in what I would normally have called her haven - her school.
There have been at least 39 school shootings since the massacre in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14, 2012. Already this year there have been 10 school shootings, including one Thursday at Eastern Florida State College. Sadly, Americans seem to be getting used to seeing our nation's youth, parents and educators gather outside schools, waiting to hear if their loved ones are safe.
This past December, the holiday season felt wrong. There was an empty place at our table, and traditions didn't seem to matter anymore. My daughter was not yet 6 months old when my mother was killed. I tuck her into bed each night with a stuffed doll that was the first and only Christmas gift she'll ever get from her grandmother. The doll is a nightly reminder that my daughter will never know my mother.
During my mother's wake, my 10-year-old son burst into tears and asked me why, of all the schools in America, this had to happen at Grandma's school. I didn't know how to tell him the truth: that this could happen anywhere, that such shootings might continue to happen.
Immediately after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, discussion of safer gun laws consumed the nation. At the time, I thought it was too soon - 26 innocent people had just been slaughtered at the school, and we were mourning.
I realize now that I was wrong: It wasn't too soon - it was already too late.
It was too late for my family and for all the families of Sandy Hook. It was too late for the families of the victims of Columbine, Virginia Tech, Northern Illinois, Tucson, Aurora and Oak Creek.
Early last year it felt like the tragedy in Newtown was an eye-opener to the problem of gun violence in our country. But since Newtown, more than 12,000 Americans have been killed by gun violence. Last April, a majority of senators voted for a bipartisan bill to expand background checks and keep guns out of the wrong hands - but a minority caved to the gun lobby and was able to block passage.
I thought Congress' failure to pass gun-safety legislation would shatter my hopes. But it did the opposite: I and others who make up the 90 percent of Americans who support comprehensive background checks aren't going away. We're here to share our stories and fight for our future.
As the daughter of a shooting victim, I hope no one else ever has to suffer through my experience. As a mother, I am horrified by the thought that this senseless violence could happen again anywhere, at any moment. There have been too many shootings and too many moments of silence. There is a national movement of Americans, from mayors to moms, raising our voices. We demand action - closing the private-sale loophole - from our leaders, and we will win the fight against gun violence.

Smartphones need kill switches. It's a relatively easy solution to the pricey (and irritating) problem of smartphone theft.

The Plaza de Mayo is surrounded by the pinkish Casa Rosada (the Argentine equivalent to the White House), the main cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) with the bank-like neoclassical facade, and other important banks and institutions like the Cabildo. The wide Avenida de Mayo connects the plaza to the grandiose National Congress (Palacio del Congreso) to the west.
The spacious Plaza de Mayo is a frequent location for political protests. I witnessed a slew of protesters (September 2001) who had paraded down the Avenida de Mayo and then congregated in the Plaza de Mayo. It was rather festive, with drummers drumming and chanters chanting, but not violent. Perhaps this was a sign of things to come later in the year, as the fragile economy in Argentina collapsed.

All I ever hear/read about Dyson is that his stuff is overpriced and doesn't work any better than the less expensive competition. Does anybody actually like Dyson products?
That's true. This vacuum is fine and reasonably well built but I wouldn't pay the inflated retail prices. This prices is reasonable. No cord rewinder though... The Dyson Company is mostly popular here from their design and marketing of their high end fart relocator fans...
I agree Dyson should have a cord rewinder. I paid $205 for a refurb and it's been great but a cord rewinder would have been nice as well.

Kat- Are you having to have a 4th surgery or are they just doing blood work to check the infection?
To everyone doing another challenge: Are we supposed to wait a couple of weeks before we start another challenge or can we just start again on the following Monday? I see people on other threads talking about 2 weeks or "active rest". I have the book on mp3 and have listened to it about 25 times. Never heard him mention it, but maybe it is written in the physical book? Anyone with info on that let me know. I'm planning on no rest.
Awesome UBWO today. I increased all of my weights again and left feeling "SWOLL UP"! I am starting to notice a little wear and tear on my body though. Have a little discomfort in my right upper chest. Really feel it where my collar bone and neck meet. Also, getting a little tennis elbow in my right arm. I got it really bad in my left arm about two years ago and it took months to heal. Hope that doesn't happen again. I don't have anymore upperbody work until Monday, so hopefully it will all be better by then.
One other thing.... I was looking at a BMI chart this morning and it says I'm too short! Hahaha......
Yeah, me too! haha
Justin- you should defiantly take 2 weeks of active rest between challenges. The aches and discomfort is your body telling you to back off and let the healing happen. If you just keep pressing forward you will end up with an injury that will take more than 2 weeks to heal. Here is a post you might find interesting.
Don't turn 2 weeks into a permanent break. Keep active and do some low intensity cardio type stuff. Hope it helps.
Justin, Hrdhat77 is spot on. I have couple of aches as well - tennis elbow and ankle (from running). Our body has a way of telling us to back off and rest after being pushed for so long. Having done this about 12 years ago, notably younger at 37, still took about 2 weeks easy (moderate cardio and easy lifting). I then started a different routine and found my self stronger and getting results.
Man.... I really hate the idea of not lifting for a week or two, but I guess I will. I want to start back at the same time as all of you though so I'll probably just take off a week. I'll probably just jog for long durations a few times that week. I looked at some forums for the people that do P90X and they say they have to take 1-3 weeks between rounds so I guess it is needed. I just feel like I'll lose momentum.
Hi Gladiators -
YAY!!! No more surgeries and packing has been removed, now just have to be really careful and let it heal properly. Kinda creepy, but they leave the incision site completely open (no stiches - just covered in gauze) so that it can heal from the inside out - so it may be open for weeks... Idk. Won't lie, I am pretty tough mentally but this has really wiped me out, it has taken everything I've got to get my workouts in!!! I just want to hide in a nice warm cave and sleep for two days straight!!!
I was also planning on just starting again right after this Competition ended, I hadn't heard anything about taking a "two week break", so thanks boys for checkin that out. Otherwise this Kat wud've just kept on rollin. I do agree with you Justin re: the momentum though... I KNOW that's the one of the KEY factors that kept me going through all of this medical drama. Maybe I'll find something different and FUN to do during that break - like Belly Dancing or hit the Bball Courts :)
Melissa - I totally understand the financial stuff getting in the way... we learn to "survive" and anything that is not an absolute NEED gets crossed off the list fast! I had gotten so sick last year that I couldn't work at all and I actually ended up being homeless for a little while and had to stay at a Shelter until I could physically work again. So def no shame... it's only temporary PROMISE!!! With that said, I have plenty of extra bikini's! :) Two in particular that I most likely won't wear again, so I am happy to mail them to you... my personal email is email@example.com if you want to send me your shipping address and I'll get those out to you next week so you can take some pics!
Gotta run to an appointment, but will check back in later to post the Daily Lesson-for-LIFE xoxo Kat
Happy hump day Gladiators!
Ok so all I could do was laugh out loud...when I ready your post about flexing, I instantly thought about was the video of Arnold Schwartzenegger all pumped up and pointing to show muscles saying "the beach is that way." www.youtube.com/watch - spoof on the whole thing.
Justin - Dude, rest! The P90X program calls for a week of rest after every 4 weeks of training. You've been killing it for WAY longer than that and your body just needs some time to mend and heal. I know it's hard to process but you will not lose momentum. You'll heal and come back stronger than ever. You'll see!!!!
David and Justin - I am SOOO with you on the vertically challenged thing! It can't possibly be that I let myself get FAT and UNFIT...hahaha...too short according to the BMI chart (and every cursed height/weight chart known to man).
Bart - so happy to hear from you! That finger infection does NOT sound good at all. That's down right scary. Have you seen a different doctor? MRSA is nothing to mess around with. Yikes!!!!
Melissa - so very happy to hear about your "warm fuzzy's." Glad to hear you in a better place :-) Have faith sister - if you are seeing definition in your obliques, your belly WILL shrink.
Kat - love you GF! Hang in there and take care of yourself.
3 workouts this week with the training = one sore and dead tired Sharon. But - in such a great way. We did chest and back on Monday along with a HIIT session. For the HIIT - elliptical for a 5 minute warm up at a perceived exersion level of 5, the 20 minutes of HIIT, and another 5 minutes of cool down. Sweaty is an understatement. Weights were different but I liked it. We did 3 different exercises per muscle group, 3-4 sets per exercise increasing weight each set with 10-12 reps per set. Upper level math here...that came to between 120-144 reps per muscle group. Muscle failure was a given!!!!
Tuesday, similar workout but working the biceps, triceps,shoulders and abs. Did the captains chair at the end of the abs drills. Good grief I have a long way to go still. Torture chair is a better name for that. My arms were jello so holding myself up was a chore all by itself. Then you want me to raise my legs parallel to the floor, hold it for 5 seconds, lower slowly and repeat????? What...love it :-)
Today was 30 minutes of HIIT on the stairclimber which is tougher for me than the elliptical for sure. After that, with my already smoked legs, we did lower body. I have to baby my knee but we did some pretty awesome weights on the squat rack. Lots of deadlifts and lunges thrown in just for good measure.
Tomorrow, I will need somebody to come do EVERYTHING for me. I won't be able to lift myself out of bed because my arms will be toast. My abs won't support my sitting up and my legs will collapse once my feet hit the floor.
I'll leave you with that lovely mental image. Hope you all had a great BFL day!
Sharon- Funny video. Sounds like you're killing it in the gym! I know what you meen about the stair climber. I normally do that following leg day and it is rough!
Kat- You are one tough cookie! Can't believe you still got your workouts in while going through all of that! Makes me feel bad for missing workouts due to the flu and stomach virus. That and all of the financial problems. Sounds like you're overdue for a big break. Surely something great is just around the corner. Perhaps becoming a grand champion of a certain fitness challenge??...??
Hrdhat- Can you give me an example of easy weights? I'm trying to get an idea of something I can do, but I think if I just go lighter I'll just do reps until failure anyway, so worried I might overdo it.
I can't wait to see everyone's results. I need to take some pics sometime soon. I haven't done any since the before pics and have lost a bunch of weight.
Justin- if I were you I wouldn't do any chest bi or tri work for the two weeks due to the wear and tear you are feeling in your pec and elbow. I think for the back and legs you should probably do 3 sets of 10 or 12 with the weight you use for level 6-7 and stop. I know you want to keep lifting heavy and hitting 10s but the rest will help you make better progress on the next challenge and give your body time to recover. You have been abusing yourself take a break do something a little different! You will not lose muscle in 2 weeks.
DAY 59 - BFL Journal daily Lesson for LIFE: "Keep the momentum going and the energy flowing!"
Let's talk a little basic physics - getting an object at rest to begin moving requires far more energy than it does to keep it moving. Think of a Rocket: 90% of the energy is spent on the initial thrust - on getting the blasted thing into the air. The remaining 10% is all that is needed to keep it going. In a way, the same applies to transforming our bodies - it's the act of getting started that is, by far, the most challenging stage of the process. You are experiencing considerable momentum at this point, and you are in a position to make an extraordinary transformation. But, if you were to stop now, you would lose all that Momentum and you would have to start all over again. I don't want you to have to go through that, and I know you don't either. So please, hang in there! Keep the momentum going and the energy flowing!!! ~Bill Phillips~
Hrdhat77 - Thanks for posting that link re: the "active rest" in between Challenges. I would have had no clue (it's been years since I've read the BFL book) - and after reading some of those posts (which I may copy and paste a couple of them directly on here if that's okay) it's sounds very crucial to take that break in between. It is sooo easy to get in the habit of pushing ourselves too hard, and sooner or later our bodies will manifest an illness/injury to regulate that! (Justin, David and that super cool chick Kat - heheh) Everyone cool with April 29th being the Official Start Date for the 2nd Challenge??? That will allow for a 2 week "active rest" break. Then we can all stay in sync; I know that some of us are on different schedules already, however that's when I will be back in the running after completing round one!!! OMG we are so close to the Finish Line!!!
Sharon - I LOVE you too woman ;) I think that you have the makings of a Future Body-for-LIFE Success Coach. You have that rare gift of encouraging without pushing, and motivating through Inspiration. You are so real and genuine that it only takes a moment to connect. I have been told that I have the gift of Prophecy, and I truly BELIEVE that you are in Training right now, in order to become the Influential force behind hundreds of other Transformations. Btw - I have an awesome tattoo guy that I want to take you to when you are ready for your Tat!!! It will forever remind you of this Incredible journey :)
Justin - You actually probably did yourself a favor by allowing your body to rest when you needed it! That is something that I seriously need to work on... And post some Before and progress pix already! Lol. I LOVE seeing the visual changes :)
David - I have to say that you (and def Justin also!!!) have been such an awesum addition to this Team!!! Having the extra engagement really keeps the necessary support moving forward. And Meeeoooww lol to ur most recent pic - you look fantastic! Ur gonna look like a Shredded Super-Hero after this ;)
Night Gladiators xoxo Kat

Pulled this from the link that Hrdhat77 had found. Great info!!! Thanks for finding this for us!!! xo
AR= Active rest. It basically means 2 weeks (preferably) of time off from heavy lifting and HIIT.
Here's a post I kept of BFLMikes:
Are you planning another challenge after finishing the one you're in now? If so, the material that follows should be of some interest and some help to you. It seems like roughly one-half of those who start and complete a 12 week transformation challenge are planning on going into another one in order to get into the shape that they want.
The first thing I want to ask you–actually I'm begging you–is to NOT GO IMMEDIATELY from one challenge right into the next one without a break. Here's why. Whether you really feel like it or not, a transformation challenge takes a toll on you. The early rising, strenuous exercising and relatively strict dieting are good for you–but over 12 weeks time they can also wear you out.
You deserve AND NEED a week or more of rest before you get back into the gym. Think about this: If you go right from one challenge to another, what you're really doing is taking a 24 week challenge. That's nearly 6 months, and it's longer than most should be doing. Most second and subsequent challenges that occur without a break between tend to be very unproductive and unhappy experiences. They also tend to be more often plagued by injuries, illnesses and overtraining effects.
My favorite fitness author, Albuquerque attorney Clarence Bass, coined the phrase "active rest." That's what you need to do between challenges. What you need to do, for at least one week and preferably two, is to stay clear out of the gym and away from the weight lifting routine entirely. And don't worry about losing muscle mass, you won't. The phenomenon called muscle memory will put you right back into the groove very quickly once you are rested. In fact, you might actually pick up some muscle mass due to the well-deserved rest. Your joints will thank you for it too.
Instead of lifting weights, do one or two of your favorite non-resistance training types of exercises. I do lots of calisthenics such as pushups, pullups, and squat jumps. I also do some bike riding or stair climbing. I take very long walks with my dog. Others enjoy things like swimming, mountain climbing, hiking, or even chopping wood and heavy gardening activity. This gets you out of the old groove, works different areas of your body, and still gives you plenty of fat-burning and fitness forming activity.
As for the diet, stick with the six meals a day. But, add in a bit of red meat if you are inclined, and experiment with some non-typical foods. This might be a good time to try a little of that natural peanut butter you've been craving. I eat a fair amount of non-tropical fruits and berries as carb portions during my rest periods. And I eat some lean red meat which has lots of creatine in it. Don't make your two weeks off a two week free day or you'll regret it.
Consider your two weeks active rest a working vacation. You'll be amazed at your renewed strength, your enthusiastic outlook, and your youthful appearance following your time off. If you don't do it, you'll feel like you're dragging a 100 pound anchor around with you for the next twelve weeks. Which one sounds like the best bet to you?
This is another great one from that same Link...
If you are going to maintain, here is another post from Mike Harris (BFLMike) explaining how to handle that. Hope it helps.
After the Challenge–What Then?
by: Michael Harris 3/19/2007
So, your results were good, and you're looking forward to living a "normal life" now. Only one thing is bothering you–you're not sure what that is going to look like. You are also more than a little worried about your ability to hold onto this newfound you, right?
First, the "good news." It never takes as much effort and suffering to maintain good health as it does to get it back. You won't have to work out quite as hard, nor will you have to eat quite as strictly to maintain your physique. Now, the bad news–you'll have to figure out how to do it on your own!
Continuing to eat the six smaller meals a day helps make your new life easier. Since the whole purpose of eating six small meals a day is to stabilize insulin levels and blood sugar levels, which minimizes cravings, mood swings, and fat formation, it makes sense to keep that up. If you lost weight and burned fat while on the six small meals regimen, and you are now at or below the weight you want to be, then you'll need to add a bit to each meal. Eating 42 meals a week, you really only need to adjust upward about 50 to 100 calories to stop the weight loss cycle. As an example, if your "meal" is a Myoplex, all you would need to do is add about 3/4 of a tablespoon of flaxseed oil to the shake and you would add about 100 calories to that meal. Just an ounce more meat or a slightly larger carb would accomplish the same things. So, whatever you do, don't go back to eating plates full of food at each opportunity. Make very small dietary adjustments, or you'll be trying to catch up with the gigantic swings that can take place!
You'll know when you get there with the diet. It will feel right. The key is to still stay away from the "trigger foods" that cause you issues, and to allow for the usual free day excesses as well. Sugary snacks should probably always be strictly a free day activity for all of us.
And what about exercise? Once again, you'll need to find your plateau. I am sixty now, so I recover more slowly than most of you would. So, what I do in maintenance stage is work each body part every 6 or 7 days, and that takes about 30 to 40 minutes four days a week. Now, that means an extra workout day a week, but that's not a problem since I work out at home. For me, working out each muscle group one day a week nicely maintains both mass and injury-free joints if I'm careful. I really don't think anyone who is happy with their body needs to work out with weights more than a couple of hours a week, but if you enjoy it, and you still want to try to add mass, go for it! As far as cardio, I still do the 3 HIIT sessions a week, early in the morning on an empty stomach, and that will never change.
May I emphasize once again, because this does take trial and error, that the key is "small adjustments" so you don't have huge swings. You will know that things are basically staying the way you want them by your weekly weigh ins and waist measurements, and if either gets more than 3 pounds or 1/2 inch out of where you want it, then make those adjustments and see what happens next week. Get your checkup regularly and keep tabs on those blood lipid levels.
Don't let the maintenance phase get you down. It's no different than owning and operating an auto. Checking the tires, the fluid levels and the operating systems are part of that responsibility, as are the same kinds of things with your body. This IS Body for LIFE, remember?
4/29/13 start date for C2 sounds good to me. It will give me 1 week of rest that I won't do anything except maybe some biking/jogging. That will put the final weight workout on my birthday 7/19/13. Maybe I'll have those abs for my 34th birthday!
David- When does your current challenge end? I thought you had started 1/21/13, but looks like you came from another start date.
Hi Team!
Thanks for all the nice words about the run I did on Saturday. I used to run a lot more than I do now. I have run a couple half marathons. I would ultimately like to run a marathon, but not sure when that's going to happen.
I finally had some success on the scale this week...lost .06 lb. Better than nothing though!
I am planning on doing another challenge once this one ends, so thanks to everyone for the information about needing the resting period before starting the second challenge.
Can't wait to see everyone's results on this challenge! Hard to believe we are so close to finishing!

LYNCHBURG, Va., Sept. 14, 2013 – James Madison women's tennis notched six singles victories on Friday and advanced to the final round in two of three doubles flights on day one of the Liberty Fall Classic.
Freshmen Alex Huie (Woodlands, Texas/Woodlands) and Rachel Nelson (Big Prairie, Ohio/West Holmes) picked up their first collegiate wins in singles on Friday, as Huie defeated Norfolk State's Andrea Macchiavello in two sets (6-1, 6-0) in Flight '1' and Nelson took down Norfolk State's Yvonne Kamegne in two sets (6-2, 6-2) in Flight '4'.
Both Huie and Nelson also added doubles victories to their day, advancing to the final round of their respective flights with their partners. Huie partnered with junior Taylor Pinchoff (Sylvan Lake, Mich./West Bloomfield) in the Flight '1' bracket to defeat Liza Gordeeva and Macchiavello (Norfolk State) 8-3 in the quarterfinals before battling for the 8-5 semifinal win over Belen Rivera and Brittany Yang (Liberty).
Nelson paired with senior Jacqueline Palmucci (Aurora, Colo./Cherokee Trail) in the Flight '3' doubles bracket. In the quarterfinals, they dispatched Rebecca Harris and Laura Ramthun (Virginia Tech) 8-1 and, in the semifinals, they knocked off Kamegne and Maralda Lhorca (Norfolk State) 8-2.
Fellow freshman Emily Bradshaw (Mississauga, Ontario, Canada/Blyth Academy) was forced to withdraw from her Flight '3' singles quarterfinal match due to illness as well as her Flight '2' doubles matches with sophomore Cara Wirth (Reading, Pa./Wilson High School). Wirth started off her sophomore campaign with a 6-0, 6-2 win over Radford's Bethany Law in Flight '6' singles.
In Flight '1' singles, Pinchoff won 6-2, 6-3 over Longwood's Malin Allgurin and, in Flight '2' singles, Palmucci defeated Gordeeva (NSU) in two sets (7-5, 6-4).
Both redshirt junior Sarah Khan (Islamabad, Pakistan/Overseas Pakistani Foundation College (New Mexico)) and senior Ruxandra Andriescu (Brampton, Ontario, Canada/Turner Fenton) started off the 2013 season with two-set shut-outs in singles play as Khan took down Norfolk State's Ana Popovic in the Flight '5' quarterfinals and Andriescu won against Radford's Taylor Fay in the Flight '7' quarterfinals.
Khan and Andriescu paired up in the Flight '3' doubles bracket and fell 8-3 to Radford's Napolitano and Grace Sarver in the quarterfinal round. After moving to the consolation bracket, the duo claimed an 8-3 win over Longwood's Paloma Alatorre and Mason Thomas. With a bye through the consolation semifinals, they advanced to the Flight '3' doubles consolation final match.

April 22, 2013
By Evan Lockridge
A trucking company has filed what is the first known lawsuit against truckstop operator Pilot Flying J stemming from allegations of fraud against its customers.
Georgia-based Atlantic Coast Carriers filed it over the weekend in Knox County, Tenn., according to published reports. The county is home to Pilot Flying J, based in Knoxville. It is seeking class action status to represent "all persons or entities who have sustained economic losses as a result of [Pilot Flying J's] wrongful withholding of rebate funds."
Following a raid on April 15 at Pilot Flying J headquarters by the FBI and IRS, affidavits and search warrants were unsealed claiming the company systematically bilked customers out of rebate money and discounts they were due in a fuel purchase program without their knowledge. (See Friday's story, "Federal Probe Alleges Pilot Flying J Defrauded Customers.")
The suit mirrors many of the criminal allegations in the affidavits and warrants, with court papers saying Pilot Flying J "adopted ... and benefitted from inaccurate rebate procedures for certain clients, including Atlantic Coast and several other clients."
A statement released through a Pilot Fying J spokesperson said, ""Pilot Flying J's counsel has advised them that it is not unusual for lawsuits like this to be filed. They are reviewing it and will defend it accordingly."
Trucking company customers of Pilot Flying J have responded to the allegations with reactions varying from disappointment to shock, according to published reports. Nashville-based Western Express told the Knoville News-Sentinel that it buys more than $100 million worth of fuel from the truckstop annually and that the company is going to look into how much money it is possibly owed.
"We feel like they got us," Titan Transfer Inc. owner Tommy Hodges told the Tennessean newspaper. "We fit the profile of exactly what they were doing. We were in the rebate program, and we always had a tough time reconciling the checks we were getting with our records of fuel purchases."
The investigation into Pilot Flying J began nearly two years ago, with information coming to the FBI from confidential informants inside the company. Pilot Flying J CEO Jimmy Haslam has been named in the alleged scheme, among others officials. No arrests have been made.
Haslam has denied charges of any wrongdoing and has reportedly ruled out stepping down.
Jimmy Haslam is also the owner of the Cleveland Browns football team and the brother to Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, who still has a financial stake in the company, though it's been managed in a blind trust since he left the business 15 years ago.
NBC Sports reports Pilot Flying J has hired lawyer Aubrey Harwell Jr. of Nashville. Harwell represented one-time San Francisco 49's owner Eddie DeBartolo who was involved in the corruption case of former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards. DeBartolo pled guilty to a charge of failing to report a felony, and received a $1 million fine and two years of probation in return for his testimony against Edwards, who was on trial for extortion and other charges, including the $400,000 he demanded from DeBartolo to gain a river boat casino license. DeBartolo never received the license, was fined by the NFL, and barred from active control of the 49ers for one year. He eventually agreed to a settlement in which he gave up controls of the 49ers in 2000, ceding control of the team to his sister.
It's not the first lawsuit against these crocks. I sued them myself, although mine wans't a class lawsuit. The manager of the Jackson location told bunch of lies to the judge, but I still won and got my $1000 back
The Haslam Family ran Knoxville, and now runs the entire state of Tennessee as their own little private fiefdom. The entire bunch of them are crookeder than a sidewinder, and twice as vicious. I hope the NFL is taking a hard look at having people like this associated with their league, as they are also associated with gambling interests in other states.

AUSTIN -- Dressed as character's from the AMC television series "Mad Men" based on a male-dominated advertising firm set in the 1960's, demonstrators accused lawmakers considering new abortion laws of turning back the clock.
"The policies that the Texas Legislature is trying to enact would take women back to a pre-1973 era when abortion was not safe, and it was not legal, and it was not accessible," said Blake Rocap with the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws (NARAL) Pro-Life Texas.
During the regular session, abortion bills fell short of the two-thirds vote needed to advance in the state Senate. Those included restrictions on abortions performed after 20 weeks, increased regulations on the RU-486 abortion pill regimen and requirements that abortion clinics conform to the same facility guidelines as ambulatory surgical centers. Now all of those have been wrapped into a single bill SB 5, which will require a simple majority to pass in the special session.
"We ended the regular session rather disappointed that we didn't get any statues passed, any bills passed that would further increase safety protections for women at abortion facilities," said Dr. Joe Pojman, founder of Texas Alliance for Life. "This is a great opportunity to do that."
Pojman suggests abortion pills can be more dangerous than those performed in a clinic and accuses many abortion clinics of offering substandard care compared to most day-surgery facilities. Pointing to testimony heard during the regular session chronicling complications with RU-486, Pojman argues current safety standards aren't adequate to address those complications when they arise.
"We think these are standards they should have adopted themselves years ago," said Pojman. "And when an industry does not meet safety standards on their own, it's time for the legislatures to step in and require those standards."
"The legislation they're considering today would close all but five of the clinics in the State of Texas, leaving women to their own devices or to go to Mexico," contended Rocap, who says abortion clinics already face higher regulatory burdens than any other form of routine outpatient treatment in Texas.
A political hot button that legislators showed little interest in pressing during the regular session, Rocap warns returning to the abortion issue could result in political blowback and popular frustration, such as seen in the large-scale rallies over women's health issues seen throughout 2012.
"I think you'll see that women are tired of having their bodies legislated by men," said Rocap.
Yet at the same time, many conservatives have faulted the 83rd Texas Legislature for not advancing abortion legislation, warning some Republicans could face steep consequences in primary races as a result of failing to move the issue forward. The Senate Committee on Health and Human Services met Thursday at the Capitol to consider four bills (SB 5, SB 13, SB 18, SB 24) after Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) added the issue to the call Tuesday.
With two weeks left in the special session, this debate is just getting started.

All of a sudden we seem to be living in a world of superlatives. How else can you describe the events of September 11 than to say that they were the most horrifying in our collective memory? As someone who has never lived through a world war and who was too young to remember Vietnam, this has been the most terrifying week of my life. As a native New Yorker with most of my family living within 30 miles of Manhattan, I am worried sick about their safety. As a businessperson who travels all the time, I have never been so scared about flying. As a parent, I have never felt so helpless.
As the ashes smolder and we silently cross the one-week mark since the tragedy, I know that the hope I saw on many of those faces on TV, those poor people who were searching for their loved ones, is fading. The death tolls are climbing. Small children everywhere have seen their innocent worlds crushed.
Yet, somehow, there still remains a sense of hope. I feel it all around me — as I attend the candlelight vigils, listen to the church bells chime out "Amazing Grace," and hang the American flag outside my door. I gain my strength from the amazing show of support around the country, from the thousands of people donating blood for the victims and supplies for the rescue workers, from the many brave firefighters and police officers carrying on in conditions that they could never have imagined in their worst nightmares. I am relieved as I read e-mails from colleagues in the industry vowing to continue their meetings and business travel — to never allow terrorism to terrify us.
And as I hear the news reports of our many allies around the world ready to stand behind us to put an end to terrorism, I try desperately to envision a more peaceful world of tomorrow — one in which this will never, ever be allowed to happen again.

Is this a misprint or old form of dietetic?
From Flatland again:
The art of healing also has achieved some of its most glorious triumphs in the compressions, extensions, trepannings, colligations, and other surgical or diaetetic operations by which Irregularity has been partly or wholly cured.

I don't know of such a spelling or of the term even, Bingley. I skimmed through the link and 'dietetic' seems to fit into that sentence. If it is a spelling variant, like aetiology, aether and the like, the answer must be in the root. What is the root for diet/ dietetics? Or, could the word be, dieretic? That also might(?) fit into the context. Am curious to hear more.

Just what is meant by Irregularity? ?
if its a condition (real or imagined) of the bowels, then i suppose diaetetic could mean diatetic.
but I have never heard of trepanning used for this.
(and goodness knows, americans seem to have a fascination with clean, regular bowels, that has gone excess many times in our history, witness, Dr Kellogg's Spa, and the still current "high colonics" fad.)_________________________

The AHD has this for the etymology of diet (http://www.bartleby.com/61/36/D0213600.html):
Middle English diete, from Old French, from Latin diaeta, way of living, diet, from Greek diaita, back-formation from diaitsthai, to live one's life, middle voice of diaitn, to treat.
So it looks like maahey is right.
The Irregularity in question is having sides of different lengths.

Here we are in week 2 and I think we are in store for some of the best CFB ever. We have found out that Boise is for real and those BCS teams can be beaten on any given day. This is why I see the landscape of the NCAA changeing. The question has always been can these schools compete with the power houses? The answer of course they can. As the popular football gets the more athletes you are going to have to recruit.
With the rumors of super conferences in the air we will see the CFB change totally in the next 5 years. conferences will be scrambling to snatch up those teams that has national recognition. We are in for a change next year Neb to the Big 10(12), Col to the Pac 10(12), the Big 12(10) will probly end when the TV contracts run out. There will be rivalry games not to be played again i.e. Neb vs OU.
I hate to say it but the CFB will follow the path that money takes them down. I will alwys love CFB I just loved it more when it was just a game.

I have been working at Hostess Brands
Pros – retirement,and if this was not in the next 5 years I might just shoot myself.But I wouldn't give them the sadisfaction!
Cons – management is made up of lazy people screwing people just to make there jobs easier and to get there friends in jobs that they dont deserve.Working splite days off, odd hours even working the alot of the holidays and always working the weekends unless you are part of the good ol'boy system that management has created.Never being able to go to speical events,take part in school fuctions with your kids because you either have to go to work or get up so early,and friends for get doing anything with them because they have normal jobs. Not one that makes there life so messed up beause every week your days are split and your days off change unless your are part of the good OL'boy club and its only because management can do it and laugh about it for the most part.
Advice to Senior Management – you need to come in to the emporia plant and don't just take there word about what they do or don't do, but spend time there find out what they actually do over time then save some money by cutting there payroll and stop cutting jobs or combineing jobs for us the ones that make them look good but keep gettting screwed.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I wanted a sweater I could breastfeed in and that was casual enough to throw over my pj's. I think this will do nicely. I do wish the body was a bit longer, but not enough to do anything about it!
My dress is still being obstinate. The directions for the collar were not helpful in actually getting the thing to go in nicely. Instead of laying close to my neck, it flares out from it. Dh said it looks like something out of the matrix. I didn't discover the problem until I had already secured it in with the facing and serging, and understitching, and everything. I was in denial for a while over it, but finally started picking it out today. I worked with my seam ripper for an hour, and it's still not done. Here is the offending collar.
