He is 'working towards 3 quads in the free' - Is that in preparation for Worlds or is that just generally?? I get that 'shoot for the stars' comment is likely just related to the future
We just got our latest copy of our weekly Jewish newspaper, The Jewish Exponent (Phila., PA). The JTA article got printed in the paper!
Audio of Max Aaron's first media teleconference on 2/26/13 (26 mins.): http://web.icenetwork.com/media/play...2010.swf&_mp=1
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
Here's a summary of some highlights from the call - I thought Max was informative and well-spoken.
After 4 Continents, he said he worked on enhancing the choreography of both his programs with Pasquale Camerlengo in Colorado Springs with a goal of turning up the performance (level) and attaining level 4 in his step sequences. His program will have the same jump layout for Worlds.
He mentioned that he started hearing hurtful comments about his style of skating at the Novice level -- that he would never make it big in the sport because he was categorized as too much of an "European style" skater like Brian Joubert, and that a lot of U.S. fans and judges were more used to a Jeremy Abbott/Matt Savoie style of skater, which he knew he could not be. He thought about quitting skating last year but decided he wanted to give it his all and didn't want to leave anything unturned as well as let anyone tell him what he can and can't do in skating.
He works with a sports psychologist and believes "pressure is for those who are unprepared" and that he is very well-trained not be affected by a mistake, like a fall. He cited 4 Continents as being very good preparation for Worlds since the pressure was more intense there than he had ever experienced before, including skating in front of a packed house in Japan.
He was asked about quads and the risk of injury and he replied that the key for him is off-ice training and recovery. He has a varied off-ice regimen to build explosiveness in his legs, stamina, and to train his back and spine to take the impact of landing quads: lifting weights, treadmill, exercises in the pool, running, etc.
He mentioned that he is working towards having two 4S and a 4T in his FS, maybe even 4 quads eventually. He says he also has practiced quad loop and Lutz, but not Axel yet, though he'd like to try it in the off-season just to see if he could get around.
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
So, his jump layout at Worlds will be two 4sals (4s-3t and 4s) and the 3 jump combo will be 2x-1Loop -3sal. Was kinda hoping he'd slip a 4t in there somewhere by Worlds and really rock the house!
I'm glad he's working on the choreography w/ Pasquale even more and trying to obtain Lv4 on the FW, and that he is handling the pressure well. Max has a body type that doesn't lend itself to easy balletic extensions. He has short, powerful legs.
Hopefully, he will do well at Worlds.
Max AAron is US men's next big thing well until Joshua, Jason, Vincent and Nathan get enough experience
the way the US media is playing so much about Max and Gracie as the new stars are a bit premature atm though
I like Jeremy's style but when I watched Max live and he was on, I enjoyed him--every single time.
I'd rather watch Max over Jeremy any day! I like his mindset...it seems very strong!
Not sure about Gracie, but Max seems so rock-solid that maybe, just maybe, the US has a man or two that they can rely on at last.
If he can get a freaking quad axel around, I hope USfsa will send him to a senior b just so he can go land one in competition (I can't really imagine someone taking a risk like that at a major comp, not when he can get big points on other solid quads)
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. Publilius Syrus
^^ ITA! It's a mixed bag of apples and oranges anyway. Back in the day, Dick Button was seen as the powerful, athletic North American skater going up against the more artistic European-style skaters. Jackson Haines left America and gained fame in Austria as a skater who introduced lyrical arm movements and music to figure skating. In his book, Johnny Weir said that early in his career, he was accused by some USFS officials of looking "too Russian" with his costumes. Toller Cranston was an artistic innovator from Canada. Elvis Stojko was a Canadian skater who raised the bar technically and athletically.
There are all kinds of skaters regardless of country of origin who have different qualities to bring and none should be labeled, categorized and/ or marginalized. I think Max should just continue improving his weaknesses, developing his strengths and doing his own thing on the ice.
I'd much rather see a skater do his own style well than try to imitate someone else. I always loved Matt Savoie, but I enjoyed Max's performance in Omaha as well.
"The Devil is joining in, and that's never a good sign." Phil Liggett
Sylvia, did I tell you recently how much I love you? Thank you so much for the summary of the conference.
improving my ballad- like lines
You're welcome. I recommend listening to Max's teleconference call - there's more than what I summarized and it's one of the most interesting ones I've ever heard a skater give.

"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
New article: http://web.icenetwork.com/news/artic...&vkey=ice_news
Also mentioned in the article is that Aaron won the Professional Skaters Association's EDI Award for Best Men's Performance at 2013 Nationals.So, after Osaka, Aaron worked with his choreographer, Pasquale Camerlengo, in Colorado Springs to attack those relative scoring weaknesses.
"We worked on tuning up the programs; we didn't have much time to do that during the season," Camerlengo said. "We added polish and expression, more amplitude of movement, to make everything more visible to the audience."
The only elements that were changed were the step sequences, in hopes of gaining Level 4s.
"We switched the steps around, added some turns," Camerlengo said. "It is not in the middle of the season; there is no time to learn anything new. You can improve on the general concept, improve the quality of the performance."

... and back on topic...
all the best,
Here's some nudie pics of my Lafayette LR 4000. Removed the covers the other day to clean out and work on the controls with deoxit. After going thru it, still has some issues with the back L channel (no sound) and I don't have anything quad capable to hook into the 4 ch inputs to test throughly. Tried a portable cd player but only got sound out of the right side using two of the four connections. Wish I hadn't sold my quad Reel to Reel so I could further test it.
It sounds really nice with a great tuner and decent phono section. Only 40 WPC but seems to have some weight behind it.

Never heard of this model before, but then again I'm not a Sansui expert. 220 wpc separates (pre amp/tuner, PA). Must have been Sansui's top 'o the line.
No affiliation, only a curious bystander
"Science is suppose to explain observations not dismiss them as impossible" - Norm on AA; 2.3TL's w/sonicaps/mills, polyswitches removed, Lg Solen inductors, RD-0198's, MW's dynamatted, Armaflex speaker gaskets, H-nuts, brass spikes, Cardas CCGR BP's, upgraded IC Cable, Black Hole Damping Sheet strips installed on back wall behind MW's & Tweeters, interior of cabinets sealed, AI-1 interface with 1000VA A-L transformer
^ That is one of the top 2 big boy Sansui pieces, but his price is way out of line. $1200-1500 depending on condition would be in the ballpark of reality. People are paying crazy money for them though, so maybe he'll get it.
That particular market is on the other side of sanity. Like the JVC boombox that went for $4000 a while back!

Actually, if memory serves, there was a Sansui G-33000 which was even a notch above the G-22000.
These Sansuis, the Technics SA-1000, the Marantz 2600, the Pioneer SA-1980, and a few other behemoths, were like the apatosaurs at the end of the Age of Dinosaurs, lumbering across the landscape just before the asteroid (or economic downturn/decrease in value of the dollar relative to the yen, and other socioeconomic changes) hit :-)
all the best,
The 9600 is definitely considered Monster class, though not as big or heavy as the Sansui above. That was pretty much TOTL for Kenwood at one point. A very nice piece. I have a much lower KR 5400 I occasionally use with some old Wharfdale bookies to stream some Pandora, listen to the college FM station, etc. Those Kenwoods also have "nice" tuners in them.
A nice match for classic JBLs. There are a "few" of us that appreciate that old JBL R&R sound, here.

And there's a few of us that appreciate more listenable loudspeakers.
more listenable than...?
I actually prefer to listen to my loudspeakers, too... given the average cosmetic values of most of 'em around here, they fare much better aurally than visually!
Here's a cogent example - ugly as sin but they sound really very good... 'specially for the 10 bucks the pair cost at a charity fleamarket in a nearby town...
Gonna cosmetically rehab these someday...
all the best,
another truly, deeply profoundly ugly pair of loudspeaker foundlings from my favorite local emporium... they sounded just fine, though.
I literally couldn't give them away, and I got a nicer pair, so I actually ended up parting these out in (partial) barter for some ReVox reel to reel tape deck work to a fine, talented fellow who was, at the time, rebuilding a pair of Cello Amatis. A fitting fate for the fine drivers... but still kind of sad.
all the best,
Mr. H- ^
I recognize the Time Window's. Was the other pair AR-3's? I had a pair of the KLH SIX's that were a little rough around the edges but sounded very nice to me. Sold those to romeo23 and then picked up a pair of KLH 23's in better shape.

Yup and yup, respectively.
My KLH Sixes aren't quite as rough as the above, but I've never taken a photo of 'em AFAIK.
Here's a single KLH Five that drifted through here a while back; nice speaker but having one is not particularly value-added (it's just not the kind of loudspeaker one would build an "audiophile" mono system around). I traded the KLH Five for a pair of EV Model Fours. The latter looked really nice but sounded disappointingly mediocre, so they're long gone.

I think you may be on to something with the critical damping idea... the bass used to sound very "squashed" and enemic, now it is much more grounded and smooth like "butter"

Boy those DQs (a nice speaker sound-wise) sure look fugly without their grills! Better keep those drivers hidden.
I know JBLs are not big on this site, I'm aware of what George and Mark are alluding to above. And to be honest, my favorites are really various '80s monitor versions with the pure titanium dome tweeter which I do think was a tech. move forward for them. And I have a set of those. But other than running those on tubes, I mostly listen to my vintage speakers.
I've never heard a set of KLH 5s but I have 4 Nova 8s (which I gather are imitation 5s sitting in the dinning room of a friend down south-will pick those up eventually, probably only need two, sorry to hear mhardy give the 5s a meh!).
But I have hooked up a pair of Nova 7Bs today. And I'm fairly pleased with their sound. Some of these classic Realistic attempted reproduction of KLH aren't bad! If I had a better camera I'd put up some pics! So here is a stock photo:

I must have not been too clear. The KLH Five is an excellent speaker; very possibly the best all-around Henry Kloss KLH-era effort.
Having ONE of them is kind of meh :-P
The PAIR of EV Fours... those were meh. Very meh. A single one of those would be even meh-er.
Clearer? ;-)
all the best,
meh be
For completeness, the EV Fours.
In the interest of disclosure, one of the midrange horns was MIA as this cosmetically nice looking pair of speakers was received. Listening to the fully intact one was not all that impressive, so I ahem took the liberty of investing in a pair of really cheap "Gemsound" brand compression midranges ($5.99 a piece!) available on special from MCM at the time. They were drop in fits and (in all honesty) didn't sound much different than the rather uninspiring AlNiCo compression driver that EV put in the Fours originally.
original EV MR driver/horn:
Gemsound horn and driver (actually a fairly beefy compression driver, 'specially for six bucks):
(note that the EV woofer is a 'component woofer' version of the later cast basket EV SP12B/TRX12B drivers - sans the paint job)
I sold the Fours with the ghetto MRs as well as a single EV MR horn/driver for a pittance (and with no regrets).

all the best,
This appears to be somewhat vintage. Such a stylish curve on the tonearm.
It's a Maggotbox - and that's a Collaro changer.
This one appears to be a soiled state, "Astro-Sonic" model... one of its vacuum tube forebears dwells in my basement.
(perhaps one will recognize the speakers being used with it in the photo)
all the best,
all the best,
I loved quad sound way back when. I vividly remember a friend playing the bells from "Dark Side of the Moon" on his car quad system. The sound was racing around the car and we were all in a, shall we say, very receptive state for sonic overload.
it ain't all pretty...
all the best,
I have a set of Realistic Nova 6B that I picked up with my new (to me) Pioneer SA-708 TX-608 combo.
They look like a little set of Pioneer CS99s - nice walnut veneers, lattice grilles. They're heavy too. I polished them up and they look quite nice now. The 6bs are a two-way, 8" woofer and 3" tweeter. I have a set of recapped KLH Model 6s right now that I am meaning to do an A/B test with. My first impression of the Realistic speakers was that they were good in the mids and had some low end, but that perhaps the high end was a little muted. I also didn't get a clear soundstage from them I'm sure a recap would clear that up, and I read somewhere online that another Nova 6 owner found that one of his woofers was wired from the factory out of phase, which screwed up the soundstage. Since my speaker count has crept up as of late I'm not sure if I'll put the work into rewiring these - trying to sell them on right now. They would make a great basis for a frankenspeaker too - the cabinets are solid and you could probably find some interesting drivers to test out of the Parts Express catalog!

About the Image
A Vermont couple spent an evening shelling a bushel of peas from their neighbor's garden, with a tabbed copy of Kingsolver's book on the table.
Your Comments
I listened to this program with interest. It made me think about what is truly "local". I did some research on the swampy coastal area of Southeastern Virginia where I live to see what foods are truly indigenous here. In order to eat like the original inhabitants, I would more or less be restricted to corn, deer, oysters, clams, pumpkin, and tobacco!
In 1959, I was born in rural Indiana--when this area was truly rural. As I listened to Speaking of Faith this evening with my family, my mom came to mind and I recalled how I never ate a salad made from iceburg lettuce until my early teens. Our salads came from the garden, as did every meal we ate, year-round. Our meats were from local farmers, grape jelly and juice came from the arbors at our home. Our home was on less than two acres with a garden of 1/2 an acre. My husband and 23-year old son talked about how removed we really have become from the source of our food. My mom called later in the evening and we talked about those earlier days... when people gathered young dandelion greens and ate them instead of treating them like weeds. Here is a picture of my beautiful mother and daughter.
I enjoy your show and recently after to listening "The Ethics of Eating" wanted to leave this comment. The reason we don't know where something is grown, what is in it, growth hormone, or what it is, cloned or not is because big business not government doesn't want us to know. Thanks keep up the good work.
I almost choked when I heard today's guest talk about killing a chicken as allowing the chicken to achieve its finest glory. What self-serving rationalization! I've seen people killing chickens and glory is not how I'd describe it or how the chickens reacted. For vegetarians this is unnecessary killing - a form of murder. I hope you have a program featuring spiritual/ethical vegetarians.
RE: Barbara Kingsolver, Ethics of eating episode July 18, 2010 Until recently, Krista, I spent most of my time comparing myself to others and judging my efforts lacking. Once I accepted my personal empowerment on this earth...once I began trusting that the individual "I" had worth within the big picture and could take the actions I was willing to take on my own part to walk with loving grace on this earth as best I could...once I was able to see the Truth about my real job in the material world; only then could I be gentle with myself, relax, and know I was doing the right things. Only then could I accept that the next step I was able to take was 'enough' in order to become an overall part of the healing energy for our earth. I had to realize that to try to do more than I could do was not a good thing for me or for other I share with whom I share this life. I know, if I walk with grace one step at a time in good orderly direction, I can liv e a worthy life within the whole scheme of things. This knowing is the definition success for me. I admire and enjoy Krista and Barbarafor their successes in taking those action steps you are able to take, one step at a time. By doing so you raise the awareness of others through entertainment and add to the vital ingredients that help complete the big picture of the universe. Thank you.
Dear Krista,
Thank you so much for your conversation with Barbara Kingsolver. You and she speak so eloquently about the ethics of food, and summarize beautifully what I have been trying haphazardly to do for years. I have listened to the program twice now, and want to thank you for articulating a way of life that I think, if we thought deeply about it, many of us would embrace and thrive in.
Thank you for your thoughtful programs. You and your guests have gently inspired me many times.
Kelly Daniels
I am normally a big fan of SOF. Listening on Sunday mornings at 7AM, as I travel to care for a colony of feral cats, the show adds a spiritual dimension to my morning. But the interview with Barbara Kingsolver made me angry. While she made some important points (such as how disconnected we've become from what we eat), clearly it's Ms. Kingsolver's privilege that gives her the time and resources to perform (and write about) her experiment in eating locally. While this was (too facilely) addressed in the interview, particularly when talking about giving up non-local foods that have a "shipping toll" (such as bananas),she came across as a hypocrite. Certainly, she's been book tours, and with her privilege, traveled the world by jet? And how does she know that a turkey doesn't want to "grow to be 100 and know its grandchildren?" Her situational ethics and transparent justifications were very hard to take.
In the last ten years it has become apparent that our food system is broken, unsustainable. In response to this crisis, I had begun to eat more and more organic food and less meat and at one period had given up eating meat for ethical reasons.
In more recent times I have begun growing much of my own food, have purchased land and am in the process of moving to a more sustainable lifestyle. My move to the land will support me in growing more of my own food, raising animals for meat, milk and fiber and working as a Rolfer from my home office. My dream is to live out my days living this life.
I feel like I owe it to myself, my children, my community and to the earth to attempt to live my life with less negative impact. I am just doing what I can. Thanks to authors, Barbara Kingsolver and Michael Pollan among many others who have educated and inspired me to make these life changes.
Having grown up with an Italian American father who cooked and whose mother kept a traditional Italian household, I was exposed to an intensity about food. Moving to the Pacific Northwest, I was exposed to a different kind of intensity about food — closeness to farmland, access to dozens of farmers markets, and therefore, farmers, and 10-month growing season, and an high consciousness about food. A concern for the environment, my health and that of others, and a love of cooking led to a deep commitment to buy as much local food as possible, or grow my own. Out of this has come a personal project tracking my fresh produce expenses for a year to really see if I'm putting my money where my mouth is. I volunteer for our farmer's market and am a Slow Food member, and once you start reading about food ethics, you really have no choice but to go forward. Even if you wanted to, you can't go back. It becomes an almost spiritual effort.
My grandparents (German and Hungarian) had every vegetable and root crop imaginable in their gardens. My father had a 'hotbed' in which he started cabbage, tomato, and other 'sets' about the end of February. These were later transplanted to the garden on our farm near Freeport, MN. Consequently, we were quite self-sufficient except for citrus fruits and a few items in winter. Our garden and orchard supplied us with every kind of food that didn't walk. Consequently, as soon as fruits and vegs were available, that is what we used.
This particular food story goes back to my childhood. On my birthday (July 16), of course we were using local food. A few days before my 9th birthday, Mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I responded, "An orange". Which (one) she selected on her next trip to town.
I remember slowly peeling that orange including the feeling of the little mist that hits your face (I had bad eyesight, so things were held close), then slowly, over an hour or so, taking the sections apart one by one and eating them. I can still remember the taste of that orange.
It was great to learn about Animal Vegetable Miracle. Please pass on to her that I am a fan. I have always been a radical "eat to live" person, rather than a "live to eat" person. I see how most of the world ekes out a subsistance living, trying to just put enough food into their mouths to survive. An in contrast I see this spoiled and pampered culture of ours, trying to titillate our taste buds, use food for psychological comfort, or even worse, for status. It's all gotten so out of kilter, and our society is so unhealthy and so many people are obese. As a culture, we literally "are what we eat"....hedonistic and debauched....pathetic. I don't know if we are redeemable. Maybe when their is a total collapse of our society and people have to forage for tree bark to survive.
On a side note, here is a "diet plan" I wrote several years ago, trying to help people to be more aware of their eating.
Harness the power of the individual (YOU) to promote healthy weight loss.
Through personal responsibility and self-discipline you can watch pounds drop
away and change your life for the better...forever.
I use nature as my guide and model. I see very few cases of obesity out in the
wild. I just imagined myself as a wild animal as well. A consequence of this new view
is that I questioned and then discarded some negative trappings of our society
and culture. We living in modern civilization are in many ways spoiled. We are
rich, pampered and priviledged compared to most other people in the world. We tend to
think that through modern technology we can control nature. One way this is
displayed is the way in which modern medicine now prolongs life to far beyond the
life-spans of people living in less advanced parts of the world. Life in our
modern culture is becoming easier on many fronts. Technology has been essential
in decreasing work and increasing leisure time. Not all of this is always to the
net good. There are some people who bemoan the fact that they will be kept alive
for years, with no quality of life, as a burden to family, just vegetating in bed
in their old-age. Many modern inventions and contrivances strive to make work
easier and help to insure that less energy need be spent, consequently people are
getting lazier and lazier. Soon we will barely need to get up off the couch to
get most of our needs met. There are people who envision a time in the
not-too-distant future, when they fear obesity will be the norm and fit people
will be the freaks. Per capita, we Americans consume 20 times what most people in
the world do. A lifestyle of indulgence has completely permeated our society and
culture. Food as an extension and symbol of our wealth and it has become inextricably
part of our socialization. We gather round the food table for countless types of
social interactions, from family to friends to business. In many social
situations we have seemingly learned to associate having a good time with
completely pigging out. Our taste buds delight in the plethora of sensations that
are available to us in our modern world, fulfilling our hedonistic desires. In that the world has become smaller through globalization we now not only have access to the foods of our own
culture, but to the foods of the entire world, and we take delight in that new
diversity. Because of the sensory satisfaction it brings, food also has become a
source of pleasure which fills many other human needs, like depression,
loneliness and stress. As people acquire more leisure time boredom may become a
problem, and eating is reduced to a way to take up some time. Many human needs and
undefined cravings seem to be satisfied by eating. This is the problem that
needs to be attacked head on; this feeling of having to fill up the depleted self
with food substances can be eradicated. I believe it can be done by starting to
think like a wild animal. We need to eat in response to need rather than in
response to self-indulgent forms of pleasure-seeking. We have to return to a regimen of incorporating food into our lives for the elemental reasons of easing our hunger and maintaining our
survival. There is simply no reason to eat the quantities of food that we eat.
It is unnatural and will serve no good purpose. If thinking of yourself as an
animal seems too difficult then the next best alternative is to try to imagine
yourself living in a third world culture trying to eke out a subsistence living.
My idea is to become in tune with your body and in tune with nature. You must
experience hunger as a vital element to life, and respond to that hunger in a
natural fashion. As pain sends a signal to direct you to seek aid for your body,
so should hunger be a similar signal which directs your actions. Listen to your
body for it is telling you what you need and when you need it. Abandon all
schedules of eating imposed on you by society, the normal framework being
breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dramatically alter your view of the world and your
view of life, for now you must start to believe in the fundamental concept: EAT
TO LIVE rather than LIVE TO EAT. The ingestion of food is to be thought of as
sustenance ONLY, not as a pleasurable past-time or hobby. DIRECT YOU PLEASURE-
I have assembled the enclosed kit, everything you will need for PHASE 1 of this new beginning. It's
function will only serve for 24 hours but it is nonetheless the critical first
step in the process of "mind-over-matter" exercises,
through the exertion of self-discipline. The three items in the kit are a
notepad, a strip of duct tape with a hole in it, and a straw. Your immediate
reaction now is that this is an absurd joke, but your amusement at the assembled
"kit" may help to remind you that this is indeed a serious venture. For you must
begin by not eating at all for one entire day. The duct tape over your mouth
will certainly help remind you of this, and the good news is that you can still
communicate with friends with the writing pad. The straw is so you can drink
plenty of water, very important. Water is the ONLY drink
allowed until your weight goal is achieved, but drink as much as you can and
want. Even natural fruit juices contain too much sugar. The worst part of your entire readjustment to life will be just a few hours of hunger on this first day. It it consequently highly recommended that you
begin on a day when you know you will be very busy, absorbed, involved or engaged
in activity, so that your mind will be as distracted as possible when the initial pangs
of hunger begin. The worst part lasts just a few hours. After that, for me anyway, the
hunger pangs tend to subside. It is important to pick the right day to start as well,
like on a weekend, as you don't want to go to work or to a board meeting with
tape over your mouth. Remember: if you get by these first few hours you are
HOME FREE. Then you can cruise for the rest of the day. After that you will
have accomplished the vital goal for PHASE 1 - your stomach will have shrunk.
You will now feel full consuming less food. The quantities you ate before will
be impossible to consume without feeling horribly bloated and stuffed, an
experience you must strictly avoid ever again having. For if your stomach were
too expand again to its former size, you will just have to go through PHASE 1 all
over again, and there is no need for this. With your stomach shrunk and your
mindset now like a wild animal's the rest will seem like a piece of cake by
comparision. Be very sure at this point to not proceed until you have given
yourself a very big congratulatory slap on the back for your successful
completion of this first huge step. You are now ready for PHASE 2 to begin. All
that is involved here is that you stick to the program of ONLY eating when you
feel hunger, not matter what time it is, and then ONLY eat until the hunger pangs
have subsided, and then STOP. Personally, I probably eat something every one or two hours,
like an applel, or a green pepper, or some walnuts. It doesn't matter if it took only three bites for
the pangs to be gone. Eat NO MORE at this time. If you feel hunger again in an
hour then you may eat some more, but again, only until the hunger subsides. One
other rule: no "junk food" or anything that is processed at all is allowed. Your sweet tooth and taste for
fatty foods must go by the boards. Eat lots of produce, fruits and veggies, and
whole grains, chicken and fish. Avoid pre-fab
concoctions. Start with natural foods (remember you are an animal in nature and
Spaghettio's are not available in the wild) and prepare everything yourself from
scratch. As you become accustomed to your "feedings" the will power and
self-discipline that will be required of you will become less and less, conscious
effort relaced by a very natural and habitual routine. But be patient. This
technique will work. You should drop at least a pound a week as your body
consumes the fat which is stored in your body. More heavily fat-laden
individuals may lose more a week. But the key is not to think in drastic terms
and make any fast or sudden moves. Just the lifestyle change and the altered
mental outlook is all it takes. Good luck, and enjoy life as a wild animal. I
think you will agree that the trade-offs were worth it. Yes, you indeed have
given up some pleasures of oral gratification. The amount of time your taste
buds have to revel in the divine taste of chocolate and that your mouth, tongue
and throat have to revel in the velvety textures of creamy substances is now
obviously greatly reduced. However the time is now cut short, the pleasure was
quite transitory, fleeting and superficial. On the other hand, your new form of
pleasure seeking, re-directed into a higher-order channel, is substantive and
permanent. You are experiencing self-control, through self-will, over your body, and
creating a healtier life for yourself in the process. You are no longer a societal drone, where
you health it place at risk purely out of pressure to conform what society considers the norm,
(and this from a vapid and debauched culture that considers carbonated sugar-water as a great beverage, which you're not cool if you don't drink). You may come to find that the pleasures that once seemed so vital, now in hindsight seems rather crude and even banal compared
to other joys you now find in life, whether it be the greater enjoyment you take
in nature, friends, or just feeling healthier, sprier and more youthful. You may acquire a new
sensitivity in other areas, like when a person loses his eyesight, his other senses develop and become more acute.
p.s. I realized I didn't really answer this specific question in my last email. My ethics make me aware that we are a completely spoiled rotten culture, relative to most of the rest of the world. I heard a statistic where much of the world spends 95% of their time and energy on survival (food and shelter). We spend about 5% on this, the rest we spend on attempting to entertain ourselves in our leisure time. And we gravitate to lurid crap like sexy Hollywood roll models for this quality entertainment, like girls who are tramps, wear mini-skirts with no underwear and puke all over themselves. And our culture raised these people up for us to admire and envy their lives and lifestyles. OMG! For reasons like this, I try to live as simply as possible, thinking of myself as a peasant rather than as a rich American. As Americans, we have spent the last 35 or so years, spending beyond our means, buying things we can't afford with money we don't have. We are a culture of being in debt and being used to extravagance in return for owing and being beholden in our debt. Now other countries want to emulate us, like China and India! What a horrible precedent we have set, to worship the attainment of things, gimmicks, gadgets, over human relationships and working on human connectedness. I don't think this is sustainable, as we are running out of resources on the planet. I really think The Story of Stuff video is amazing, and sooo important. We need to wake up and have some collective conscience-raising. People over things....please. http://www.storyofstuff.com/
What I mostly eat is legumes, grains and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Lots of stir-fries with potatoes. Also peanuts and seeds.
For 15 years I was a vegetarian for environmental and ethical reasons. A year and a half ago my husband and I bought and started an urban hobby farm and began raising our own poultry and produce. Our 2 acre farm produces fruit, veggies, poultry and eggs and much more. I finally feel justified in eating meat and do the harvesting myself with much thoughtfulness and intention of treating the animal and the land kindly.
Growing what you eat is bound
Growing what you eat is bound to be a culture shock. But is can transform those high expectations about life and help keep it simple.
"what do we have?", a good
"what do we have?", a good question for so many things in life! When we focus on what we have instead of what is lacking, we are grounded in gratitude. And this automatically makes joy much more accessible.

If it weren't for last year, we might be talking about the recently completed Pizza Hut Wabash Valley Classic as the best one ever — and it unquestionably had the most interesting championship game, only the 2003 Terre Haute North-Bloomfield matchup being anywhere comparable.
There wasn't really a close game on the first day, but plenty of down-to-the-wire thrillers the rest of the way. Crowds, by my educated guess, were also second only to the 2008 tournament — nearly full for the 11:30 a.m. game on the first day (maybe a morning record, and a sign of discriminating taste since that was the Sullivan-South Vermillion matchup), full by the time Marshall and North played on the second day, and perhaps down early on the third day but filling the gym by the time Marshall was finishing its game and Sullivan and West Vigo were getting ready to go.
Two of my friends from Terre Haute South are no longer in the Classic's top 10 in scoring, with Armon Bassett's 155 points and Jeremy Lock's 152 having been supplanted by West Vigo's Tyler Wampler and South's John Michael Jarvis.
R.J. Mahurin of Rockville leads the way with 292 points, and probably will for awhile. To put his numbers in perspective, to get to 292 points a player would have to average 18.3 points per game and play four games (which only half the teams do each year) in all four years of high school. Yes, that record is safe.
Unofficially, the rest of the top 10 now consists of Nate Blank of North (225), Adam Gore of Monrovia (214), Lucas Eitel of Marshall and Wampler (both 210), Phil Woods of Turkey Run (208), Logan Eitel of Marshall (200), Jarvis (197), Zach Keyes of Northview (179) and Tyler Morgan of Riverton Parke (162).
Other unofficial statistics and tidbits from 2009 are as follows:

Amey takes Aim: Classic's best title game capped great tourney
If it weren't for last year, we might be talking about the recently completed Pizza Hut Wabash Valley Classic as the best one ever — and it unquestionably had the most interesting championship game, only the 2003 Terre Haute North-Bloomfield matchup being anywhere comparable.
- Amey Takes Aim
Andy Amey: Just a small trip to talk about this time
To paraphrase Carl Spackler, the heavy stuff's not going to come for quite awhile. So while it's true that I'm back from a week's vacation, it's not time — yet — for the big vacation column. Trips to Noblesville, Brunswick and Reelsville, while providing some nice family time, don't really have the cachet to fill newspaper space.
Amey Takes Aim: Still-alive columnist offers thanks for recent kind words
I've often had the weird thought that it would be nice to be able to attend my own funeral — in some kind of cognitive state, of course.
Seeing what people show up to say nice things about me (or bad things, although I've never known that to happen and I've been to quite a few funerals) would be very interesting, maybe a little heart-warming (a relative term in that circumstance).
Amey Takes Aim: Columnist's boys basketball tradition continues
In marked contrast to my recent whiny column about girls basketball, I was blessed this winter to see virtually every high school team in the Wabash Valley during the boys season.
Some might suggest that was a mixed blessing, since a few of our teams weren't as successful as they are used to being (particularly in the 2014 portion of the season), but the Tribune-Star was still involved with two teams that came within a game of the state finals, one of them in an Indiana final four (no capitalization anymore, new system) and two teams that were in the top eight of their class. That's only three great teams — Paris was both a game away and in the final eight — but that's still a pretty good haul.
Amey Takes Aim: Tourney provided a few Classic moments
This column was falling into place nicely until about 1:15 p.m. Saturday. Then youth and inexperience reared up to bite it.
This time don't use your head
My personal suggestion is leather helmets.
As frightening data on concussions filters its way from the National Football League on down to colleges, high schools and youth leagues, I can't help but think back to the time when I was standing on the sidelines watching my teammates play.
AMEY TAKES AIM: WNBA is part of travel plans
Columnist prepares for vacation destinations.
Amey Takes Aim: NHL playoffs to put TVs to good use
If Jenny had known, she probably wouldn't have bought that TV.
But four or five years ago, my Fathers Day present — for those unfamiliar with Amey family traditions, the Fathers Day one is "let's get something we all really want and pretend it's a gift for Dad" — was a 42-inch Vizio. It's been used even more than the cell phone I never would have bought for myself, or the TomTom that disappeared since Jenny's smartphone arrived.
And it came with high-def.
I'm not going to insult you by telling you how great high-def is, because to do so would be to imply that you are even farther behind the technological curve than I am. I'm guessing, however, that not all of you have yet discovered what it does for hockey.
Amey Takes Aim: Can't bottle the joy of Amey vacations
The first bad sign was the Gatorade bottle.
In the Bataan-Death-March drive to Orlando that got the Amey family spring break vacation off to a bad start, seeing it between lanes of I-24 — as we zipped along at a 100-miles-in-five-hours clip — filled with an ominous yellow liquid was a little bit scary. And although we didn't stop to check for sure, I'm fairly certain I knew about its contents.
And the person stuck in the same traffic jam with us, the one with the existential license plate YMIHR4, couldn't have asked a more pertinent question.
But, after seeing a lot more of Oak Grove, Ky., than we'd planned, and after enduring more traffic slowdowns in Nashville, we were on our way. Even some rain in the dark in the Smokies didn't slow us down much, so you would think our first-day troubles were over.
You would be wrong.
ANDY AMEY: Farewell to basketball
I believe you've heard me say before — just about a year ago, perhaps — that a boys high school basketball season that ends with the Tribune-Star in Bankers Life Fieldhouse can't be considered a bad one, which is why we have a little celebrating to do thanks to the Linton Miners.
Lover of irony that I am, I've also got to point out that this season was another branch sprouting from the Wabash Valley's most legendary coaching tree, that of Joe Hart.
Joe never got much credit for his work at Dugger, but he took Brody Boyd, Clark Golish and the Bulldogs to a state championship game in 2000, and since then three of his former players — Joe Pigg, Clint Swan and now Joey Hart, his son — also have coached teams in the final game of the season.
Joe probably wishes he could take credit for Doc Nash, another down-home type who gave a banjo lesson earlier Saturday in leading Borden past a bigger, more athletic Triton team (banjo lesson is a Howard Sharpism, for you younger readers), but his lineage is still the best I can think of around here.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Maroons, Rox final a true Classic
I don't make predictions nearly as often as I used to, but I had one several months ago that was proven correct last week.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Nitpicking aside, West Vigo Hall of Fame selections spot on
I can't imagine a better first class of inductees into the West Vigo High School Athletics Hall of Fame than the one that was feted Saturday night in the Jim Mann Green Dome.
Tough bunch of people
I'm getting my warm clothes ready for a trip to Linton this week, and if a few thrills from the Miners, Casey or North Vermillion happen the next couple of weeks, I hope I get to see them.
But high school football is over in Vigo County for the season — as coach Chris Barrett of Terre Haute North said, prematurely — and I'm sadder to see it go than usual.
Walking the sidelines and doing midweek or postgame interviews enables me to meet quite a few of the guys whose names you are about to read, and haven't been more impressed than I was this fall. What outstanding groups of young men. What a tough, tough bunch of people.
Many know that one of my favorite athletic adjectives appeared consecutively in the previous sentence.
AMEY TAKES AIM: A weekend to remember with ISU's '72 football team
They're all still pretty hale and hearty, the boys of the fall of 1972 who returned to campus over the weekend to honor their former football coach.
AMEY TAKES AIM: ISU reunion raises more questions than answers
One of the wrestlers I used to hang out with occasionally claimed to be a pretty good second-story man — although he may have just been talking, since I never saw any of the goods — and it was with him in mind that I was able to get access to the Indiana State Wrestling Alumni Reunion late Saturday night.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Deciding not to 'vacate' during 'vacation' – & other ventures
Flaunting the law, setting a bad example for the kids in other ways, grooming and acquiring dogs … not a typical Amey family vacation, but an appreciated one just the same.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Huntsville's Stars, Havoc take back seat to GGS
The second-best thing about the Amey family's spring-break trip to Huntsville, Ala., is that we left a lot of things on the table to do the next time we're down there.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Rox well represented on Amey teams
If having the state finals in town makes it a successful girls high school basketball season, then certainly having a team to follow at the state finals makes it a very successful boys high school basketball season . . .
AMEY TAKES AIM: A feeling of pride, not disappointment, comes from watching Rox play
It's not going to come as a startling admission that I — once the rest of the local opposition has been eliminated from consideration — am an unabashed fan of whatever team the Wabash Valley sends onward in postseason high school sports competition.
AMEY TAKES AIM: This private school plays basketball the right way
Any girls high school basketball season that ends with state championship games in Hulman Center is a pretty good one — even though I wished I'd seen Riverton Parke and Seeger knock off a couple of private schools the week before to even the public school-private school battle a little bit.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Even 2 of state's best once had doubts
Look at them now.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Getting ready for the dance
Terre Haute North got the good news Sunday night — or did it?
AMEY TAKES AIM: Harrowing path for state hopefuls
The bad news is that the winner of Class 4A Sectional 13 in boys basketball heads northeast instead of southeast for regional play in March — to Hinkle Fieldhouse instead of Seymour as a result of Indiana High School Athletic Association's changes.
AMEY TAKES AIM: A superior all-star arrangement
I don't work on Wednesdays, so I wasn't able to attend the first Wabash Valley Football Coaches Association draft last week to set up the annual all-star game that will be June 23 this year.
AMEY TAKES AIM: The biggest & baddest of a holiday classic
There are more things to love about the Pizza Hut Wabash Valley Classic than could fit in this newspaper, but one of this year's best things was that for an hour or so on Wednesday, it was Justin Paddock's world and we were just living in it.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Taking note of ISU's latest football win
The biggest difference I've noticed, as I transition from the high school football beat to quasi-official status as the Indiana State football beat writer for a few weeks, is the length of the games.
AMEY TAKES AIM: IHSAA playoff draw not as bad as it could have been
First reaction to the Indiana sectional football pairings drawn late Sunday by the Indiana High School Athletic Association? It could have been a lot worse.
ANDY AMEY: Between the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & a hard place
Just in case any of you noticed — with some anticipation — the recent lack of my bylines, I can tell you that your wish (and mine) did come true. It was vacation week for the Amey family.
Amey Takes Aim: UFC fighter's bloodines traced back to ISU brothers
As a mild-mannered reporter from a great metropolitan newspaper — or thereabouts — I admit I haven't paid much attention to the burgeoning mixed martial arts scene.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Predators' win is music to new fan's ears
For many, many years, the number of live games televised on WGN has been cited as perhaps the main reason for the popularity of the Chicago Cubs (it's got to be something besides masochism, right?).
AMEY TAKES AIM: You'll be having a good ol' time on vacation with the Ameys
When one of the first people you meet is Tammy Wynette's stepdaughter, when you've stepped on the feet of people you haven't met while trying to navigate Ernest Tubbs' old Silver Eagle tour bus, and when the activities director of your resort is, well, Elvis, you might be vacationing in Nashville.

Fingers crossed for them. I came back from Canadians convinced we really need them to make it to Worlds this year. Of course, I don't want her to go if it would cause any long-term problems for her.

Worlds starts in 4 weeks and 4 days. If W/P are not on the ice yet, it doesn't seem possible that they would be ready.
i thought v/m suffered an injury reputation in 2009 and 2011 seasons which resulted in their placements at Worlds (as some have put it anyway). wouldnt w/p go through such if they really push it in this Worlds? why bother skating if kaitlyn is still healing and judges wouldnt really be giving them scores their programs deserve because of that injury reputation? besides, prior to kaitlyn's injury, their programs didnt really win judges over as much as their previous programs did anyway. i'd rather have kaitlyn heal and save her condition for next year's olympics.
In my experience, it happens the contrary
anyway judges look at the performance, not at the past.
The fact that the Fd was not "loved " by judges and some audience, well they changed it, almost totally, so I still hope they can make it, to see it, this FD has some beautiful stuff !! The deserve a chance !!!
Obviously they will not risk K's health for any reasons.
Plus this year is Russia year....so they would have been behind Bobrova even with je suis malade !!!
I just have a gut feeling they're going to be there, and I hope my "gut" is right.
Addicted to FSU
Such Wondeful News! I will be cheering my lungs out for them in fake London.
Wonderful news. I hope they can make it to London.
Thrilled to see that picture!!! Fingers crossed it all goes well and they are in London. Their FD was an early fave of mine and I am so pumped that we actually have a chance now to see the work they did to it.
Saw on twitter that CBC Toronto is going to have a piece on Weaver's return to the ice on the 6pm news.
Best of luck to Kaitlyn & Andrew in the coming weeks and hopefully they can skate in London at world!
I can't get on Twitter today (not safe according to my browser), so I'm going to have to have faith in all of you . Great news!!!!

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Roederer's 2006 Brut Cristal is striking in its sense of lift and delicacy, serving as one of many instances where those bringing preconceptions of this vintage's warmth and ripeness of fruit to their experience may be pleasantly surprised. A nose of fresh apple, fennel and cucumber sets up..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Krug decided to create a vintage for this particular year and named it "Vivacité Solaire" (Vivacious Radiance) to relate an unexpected story of a hot year that surprised Krug with fruit, freshness, balance, expressiveness, vivacity and finesse, all at the same time.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The first thing that is evident about the 2000 Brut Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill is its finesse and total silkiness. The 2000 is a rich, creamy and deeply expressive Winston Churchill. I don't see the 2000 being an especially long-term ager, but it is wonderfully radiant and open today. Hints of..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Tightly knit, this is finely textured and expressive. Savory hints of fennel seed and cardamom accent dried apricot, bread dough, hazelnut, creamy espresso and grapefruit zest notes, remaining racy and focused through to the lasting, lightly briny finish. Drink now through 2027."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "There's a streak of minerality and a lacy texture to this floral Champagne, with finely tuned acidity to focus the candied lemon zest, poached pear, nutmeg and ginger hints. A more delicate style, but seamless in its balance and finesse, with a subtle finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 1996 Dom Perignon OEenotheque offers up layers of pastry, lemon, smoke and toastiness. At first deceptively understated, the wine turns positively explosive and layered on the palate, showing remarkable tension, elegance and power, all wrapped around a seriously intense frame.

Two years after David O. Russell's The Fighter, the controversial filmmaker is back with his latest blend of crappy people and hearts of gold.
Silver Linings Playbook is a romantic comedy, which is perfect for the holiday season and families looking for entertainment. But it also has characters with mental issues, which is perfect for Oscar season. Taking a break from Mark Wahlberg, Russell cast endearing, popular actors Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence as his protagonists.
After a stay in a mental institution for anger issues and being diagnosed as bipolar, Patrick (Cooper) moves back in with his parents (Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver) when he discovers his wife has left him. Things at home don't go too well, either: Pat's dad also has a bad temper and OCD, causing conflict. Soon an old friend of Pat's sets him up on a date with his wife's sister, Tiffany (Lawrence), who also has a bad attitude and suffered depression after her husband's death.
It's a match made in therapy; Pat is in denial about the end of his marriage and asks Tiffany to help him win his wife back.
Chris Tucker and Julia Stiles co-star as Pat's rehab pal and Tiffany's sister.
Russell has experimented with his share of genres the last two decades, from the romantic comedy Flirting with Disaster (1996) to the war satire Three Kings (1999) to the quirky ensemble piece I Heart Huckabees (2004) to the boxing drama The Fighter (2010). Now he steps back to his romcom roots with his adaptation of Matthew Quick's novel Silver Linings Playbook.
Playbook manages to be light and heartfelt while dealing with a subject as serious as mental illness. Cooper, known primarily for comedies like Wedding Crashers (2004) and The Hangover (2009), disappears into Pat and delivers as the lead of a talented cast. Many already think Lawrence should receive an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of aggressive, loudmouthed Tiffany. It's easy to see why—she is as amusing and cute as she is frustrated and overbearing.
Silver Linings Playbook is charmingly offbeat in a way few filmmakers could succeed at.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Tasted from a half bottle, the rich and complex flavors of Brut La Française show just that extra touch of maturity. The wine has peach and almond flavors that contrast well with the taut, nervy edge. It's full in the mouth and ripe, and works well both as an apéritif and a food Champagne.

Single-Component Baseplate Construction
One material throughout creates consistent response and feel for all-terrain domination.
With a minimized, cored baseplate and Living Hinge™ disc, Re:Flex™ dramatically improves board flex and feel, and reduces weight.
Single-Component Hi-Back Construction
The simplicity of a one-piece hi-back means immediate response. Through material blends we then manipulate the overall flex profile—from buttery to responsive.
Winged Hi-Back
Boosts lateral support for increased leverage and control when pressing, buttering, and spinning.
The higher the Forward Lean angle on your hi-backs, the quicker your heel-edge turns. Crank 'em forward for icy hits in the pipe like Danny does, or back 'em off for jibbing like Keegan. For mind-blowing micro-adjustability, our MicroFLAD™ systems give you twice the options of our traditional FLAD.
Asym Superstrap™
Superstrap™ Construction 3D® Curved, Triple Axis Spine Laterally Supportive Asym Shape NeoPadding Reversible Shape: Choose Between Power or Mobility
Primo Capstrap™
3D® Curved, Triple Axis Spine. Grip Fit.
Smooth Glide Buckle Technology
Lightweight aluminum and lightweight polycarbonate levers give you season after season of buttery smooth and reliable ratcheting power. Designed and built by us, not some shady supplier.
Re:Flex FullBED Cushioning System
FullBED cushioning offers a full coverage, cushioned platform that maximizes comfort while minimizing fatigue. Anchored to the baseplate, its stealth trap door design makes it easy to access the mounting hardware.
Ultimate Set-up
For the best performance, ride these together

As we grow ever closer to realizing the dream of equality here in the United States, there are millions more LGBT people around the world who live in fear and isolation – and under the rule of governments that criminalize their very identities. The Global Engagement Program works to leverage HRC's domestic LGBT work and passionate membership base to be a strong partner in the global equality movement. By calling out Americans for exporting hate, creating awareness of international LGBT issues, and collaborating with dedicated advocates across the globe, HRC is working towards a world that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.
HRC is a founding member of the Council for Global Equality and is a proud member of the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA).
To learn more about HRC's work to expose and repeal Russia's anti-LGBT law visit www.hrc.org/Russia.
