The project
The project
In December 2011 we were awarded £2.2million from the HLF, this has been match funded by the council to bring major physical improvements to the Park alongside a programme of community activities
When Alexandra Park opened to the public in 1870 it was innovative in its use of oval shaped and curved pathways and the introduction of sporting activity into an ornamental park. The funding will see physical improvements relating to the Park's original design, including footpaths, buildings, planting schemes, tennis courts, sports pitches and changing facilities.
In the week beginning 10 December 2012, enabling work will start in the park which includes:
Opening up the historic buildings to check the condition of them and carry out a paint analysis
A survey of the culvert which runs through the park under the southern oval (near the pavilion)
Tree felling/canopy lifting
Major work on site is planned to start early in 2013.
If you have any questions about the plans for the park please consult our frequently asked questions document or contact:
email@example.com or call 0161 224 2902.

Whilst the numbers of staff affected by the proposed change programme and the types of staff transfers set out in the Health and Social Care Bill are yet to be confirmed it is essential that staff are informed, engaged and supported through the transfer process.
The SPF HR Transition Partnership Forum was set up to provide a single national forum for the discussion and development of HR policies and processes to support workforce transition across the NHS, Department of Health and Arms Length Bodies. This group is made up of representatives from the Department of Health, Trade unions, employers and SHA representatives.
The SPF Staff Passport Group continues to provide input on the detail of system reforms across the board including development of the Any Qualified Provider principle. The group discusses and influences policy and guidance through their regular meetings highlighting the workforce issues, promoting good employment practice, the importance of staff engagement and the benefits of partnership working in system reform. The group regularly reviews the content of the NHS Staff Passport toolkit to maintain its accuracy.
The Staff Passport toolkit has been a popular tool since it was first launched in November 2009. As the workforce implications of the Health and Social Care Bill become clearer we will work together to regularly update the toolkit to reflect this.
Our work on maximising opportunities for newly qualified graduates looks at practical steps that can be taken to support newly qualified healthcare professionals into employment. The Job Pool may be of specific interest during the current transition.
The Social Partnership Forum is committed to the idea of creating a more personal health service for patients in the NHS. The Department of Health with support from the Social Partnership Forum has produced a guide on personal health budgets which is a starting point for local discussions on workforce issues.

Re-enable Message Walls? - Voting
So, before when we tried this, many people were resistant to the idea and absolutely hated it because there were some glitches. (As if there wouldn't be with a new feature) But, PatLo has informed me that the "following" glitch has been resolved and honestly, I've seen in places like the "Vent Blog", I think number 5, where more people actually said they missed the message walls. Maybe you've seen them on other wiki's and have gotten accustomed.
So, we're gonna take another vote for this message wall feature. Also, if you don't mind, leave a comment about why you like or dislike message walls. (P.S. I'd rather not hear rather silly, no offense, reasons like no decorative talk page, like, real reasons)
So, here's the poll.

Toys and games for kids have become that much more exciting now that interactivity and augmented reality are joining the fore of how children can play and learn.
There were three examples at CES that are worth noting. First, during the Microsoft keynote by Steve Ballmer, the Kinect was showcased through a partnership with Sesame Workshop in creating Kinect Sesame Street TV. Microsoft is taking current TV programming and turning them into interactive experiences - partially streaming video; partially interactive video game - all with the intention of keeping children engaged while learning. (Note: thank you to GameSpot for this video). In the video you will see the learning component, coupled with the interactive participation of voice and gesture enabled through the Kinect with Sesame Street characters reacting to viewer actions and responding immediately depending on what the viewer - shall we call them now players/actors/active learners do.

Halifax: House prices fall 0.6% in July and expect no rise for the rest of the year
By Lee Boyce
Property prices fell last month after two months of increases and are expected to remain largely flat for the rest of the year, a survey has shown.
Data from the Halifax House Price Index has found the average house price in July was £161,094. This figure is 0.6 per cent lower than June meaning around £1,000 has been skimmed from the average property value in the last month. It also means that prices are 0.6 per cent lower than a year ago.
There has been no clear trend in prices in recent months, the index has shown. After rises in May and June, house values are still 0.8 per cent higher than in December and are roughly the same as in the summer of 2009.
Housing dip: Prices fell by 0.6% compared to last month - and means the average house value has dropped by a £1,000
The recent fluctuation in prices may be a result of first-time buyers looking to beat a stamp duty holiday at the end of March, which allowed them to buy a property up to the value of £250,000 without having to pay the one per cent tax.
The High Street lender expects prices to remain flat over the rest of 2012, unless the economy deteriorates, with levels of supply and demand set to remain stable.
Martin Ellis, housing economist for Halifax, said: 'At a national level, house prices have been very stable over the past year or so.
'This can largely be explained by the static nature of supply and demand conditions during this period. Looking forward, we expect little change in prices over the remainder of 2012, so long as the economic climate in the UK does not worsen substantially.'
The fall in house prices comes as a report by property search website Rightmove found that house buyers and sellers face a stand-off in the coming months due to an 'opinion gap' about how realistic prices are in the tough economy,
This mis-match in views could lead to sales stalling further in a market which is already seen as difficult and patchy, the report states.
Half of people planning to buy a home in the next year feel prices in their area are still above what is 'fair and reasonable', despite the weakness of the market, researchers found.
But only a third of people who are trying to sell a home hold the same view, and 56 per cent of them said their biggest concern is receiving an offer they consider to be 'sensible'.
Worrying signs for the housing market
There have been worrying signs for the housing market in recent weeks, after Nationwide said prices fell 2.6 per cent annually in July, representing the biggest decline in almost three years.
Property prices, according to the Nationwide, are back at the same levels seen in May 2006 and have dropped 13 per cent below their 2007 peak.
According to the building society, the dip in prices is down to the result of a 'disappointing performance of the wider economy.'
HM Revenue and Customs figures also showed an 11 per cent fall in sales between the first three months of 2012, and the subsequent three months.
A number of experts believe that the housing market is likely to be affected by the rumbling eurozone crisis and fragile consumer confidence.
Howard Archer, chief UK economist at IHS Global Insight, said the survey fuelled his fears that prices will drop a further three per cent
He said: 'The Halifax data heighten our suspicion that house prices are headed lower over the rest of 2012, and very possibly beyond, in the face of limited activity, low and fragile consumer confidence, muted earnings growth and relatively high unemployment.
'With the economy slumping in the second quarter and the outlook highly uncertain amid worryingly strong domestic and international - mainly eurozone - headwinds, we believe that there is a very real and mounting danger that house prices could fall by appreciably more than three per cent from current levels.'
Peter Rollings, chief executive of estate agent Marsh & Parsons, said: 'A lethargic mortgage market and faltering economy have conspired to undermine house prices, and the performance of central London is masking even greater falls around the country.
'Securing an affordable mortgage without a colossal deposit is an Olympian task for the average buyer, and this is reining in competition for properties across the country – preventing sales prices from climbing back to anything like their pre-crunch heights.'
Russell Quirk, founder of online estate agents, eMoov.co.uk, said: 'The property market, like the economy, is in a perpetual limbo. It's being kept alive by low interest rates but held down by lack of confidence and lender caution.
'Four rises and three falls so far in 2012 says it all — the property market is devoid of direction, exaggerated by the lack of transactions.
'The months ahead will prove pivotal as we discover whether the Euro will survive or fail. This could have a massive impact on the UK's property market, just as it will have a massive effect on the UK's economy.'
A flurry of mortgage deals hit the market
HSBC, Santander and NatWest have all launched record-breaking five-year fixed rate mortgages below three per cent in the last few weeks, but all three come with wallet-busting fees ranging from just under £1,500 to £2,500.
Rates have also been reduced for borrowers with smaller deposits, but those cuts have been smaller and their mortgages remain much more expensive.
While NatWest will offer a borrower with a 40 per cent deposit a five-year fix at 2.95 per cent, a first-time buyer with a ten per cent deposit must pay a rate of 4.79 per cent.
Despite the Bank of England's desire to push cheaper mortgages through to borrowers, much of the gap in rates for those with smaller deposits comes from financial regulation which require lenders to hold far more capital against higher loan-to-value mortgages - thus substantially increasing the cost of funding them.
Last week, the Bank of England's latest attempt to jump start the economy began which involves pushing a lot more cheap money through to mortgage borrowers – mortgage correspondent Simon Lambert reveals all in his blog, 'a wave of cheap mortgages is most likely to help wealthy homeowners and buy-to-let landlords.'
And from today, supermarket giant Tesco will offer mortgages. It has launched a range of mortgages that include two, three and five-year fixes and a two-year tracker, in its long-awaited move into home loans.

MOTIVATION: buddy up.
Power in numbers is no joke. You want motivation? You want energy? You want inspiration? Look no further than your nearest and dearest who surround you. In them lies incredible potential that's contagious. And if you combine your power plus their power, well crazy things can happen. So link up, connect and combine your goals. Research shows that if you take on those goals together, you're BOTH more likely to achieve them. And you know what happens when two people inspire each other to achieve great things…you inspire people around you to also achieve great things. So buddy up. Get your MYB on together. And there's no limit to what we all can achieve.

The Massachusetts Humane Society published its first pamphlets in 1787, and has continued its work since that time. The present book is based on the publications of the society. It is a beautifully prepared volume both as to typography and illustrations.
The work of a humane society comes very near to that of the medical profession. A humane society was organized in Philadelphia in 1780. Dr. Benjamin Say was the president of this society in 1799, and Dr. Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia was an early honorary member of the Massachusetts society. In 1793 he sent the president of this society two pamphlets widely distributed in Pennsylvania, and from one of them the Massachusetts society published an extract in 1893 relative to avoiding the danger of drinking cold water while the body is heated. The instigator of the Massachusetts society was Dr. Moyes, the organization of the society being described in

Paying off closed or charged off accounts can help scores over time
Dear Experian,
Does paying off a closed or charged off account raise your credit scores?
Dear TYC,
Paying a closed or charged off account will not typically result in immediate improvement to your credit scores, but can help improve your scores over time.
If the creditor has not sold or transferred the debt to a collection agency, the charged off account will still report the balance owed. Once the balance is paid, the account status will be updated to show "Paid Charge off" and the balance will be updated to zero.
Often, when an account is written or charged off, the creditor will sell the debt to a collection agency and the balance on the original account will be updated to zero. If so, you no longer owe the balance to the original creditor, but to the collection agency. If this is the case, paying the debt to the original lender will not result in a change to the status of the original account. Paying the collection agency will result in the status of the collection entry being updated to "Paid Collection."
Paying an outstanding debt is always better than not paying it, but how much it will affect your credit score (if at all) really depends on other factors in your credit history. For example, if you have too much outstanding debt, then eliminating that debt will have a positive impact on that factor.
While your credit scores may not improve immediately, paying the debt in full will help reduce the negative impact, resulting in scores improving over time.
Thanks for asking.

FORT WORTH -- The Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth has shelved plans to move its administrative offices to downtown from the west side and has pulled out of a proposed $35 million project designed to bring apartments, shopping and office space to Lancaster Avenue.
The city project is now on the back burner until housing and economic development officials rethink how to move forward."We still have the residential and retail components," said Jay Chapa, director of the city's Housing and Economic Development Department."The project is able to be financed. We're down the road with that. It's just a matter of putting the project back together."A year ago, the diocese said it would participate in the project, planned for two blocks on the north side of Lancaster Avenue between Throckmorton and Monroe streets that have remained undeveloped since the road was rebuilt several years ago.The 230,000-square-foot project called for three five-story buildings and a parking garage.Together, the buildings would have 20,000 square feet for shops and restaurants, 60,000 square feet for office space and 130 apartments.The diocese initially wanted the top two floors of the office building, and it was going to help pay for the parking garage planned on nearby property that it owns at Jennings Avenue and 13th Street. It is also next to St. Patrick Cathedral.The diocese later said it wanted to buy the estimated $12 million office building, use the top three floors for its offices, and lease the street level to retailers and the second floor to tenants, Chapa said.In June, diocese officials changed their minds, Chapa said."They let us know the day after we got a loan commitment," Chapa said.The change of heart actually came in the spring, said Pat Svacina, a diocese spokesman.Bishop Kevin Vann and the diocese's financial advisers decided during budgeting that getting involved in a real estate development was not a priority and that the diocese should spend money building schools and parishes to meet demand, Svacina said."As it moved along, the bishop and his advisers looked at it and thought, 'Do we really have the money for this?'" Svacina said."We've just decided this is not the thing to do right now. A new office complex didn't rate up there right now."The mixed-used development is a project of the city's Local Development Corp., which has earmarked $1 million for it.The project also has a commitment from the city of $2 million in Housing and Urban Development funds.The Lancaster Tax Increment Financing District would pay for public parking in the garage to bolster the retail portion.The project is eligible for HUD funding because some of the apartments are designated workforce housing and would rent for below market rates.The rest of the apartments would rent at market rates.L2L, a firm of Randy Gideon and Tom Purvis, was hired a year ago as a development consultant.The Local Development Corp. was created in 1987 to promote, sponsor and coordinate activities centered on job creation and economic development.Sandra Baker, 817-390-7727Twitter: @SandraBakerFWSTHave more to add?

THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN Japan will enforce anti-'piracy' laws that criminalise illegally downloading media files.
The penalties see downloaders running the risk of a two year stay in prison and a fine of up to about £16,000, according to a BBC report.
The BBC reports that the enforcement proposal follows a lobbying campaign by the Japanese music industry, adding that the penalties could apply even if someone has downloaded only a single file. The laws were passed two years ago, but so far have not been implemented.
Local rightsholders will be hoping that from now on the criminal penalties will be enforced, and in spades. They are the kind of sanctions that rightsholders dream of and are much stricter than the three-strikes policy we are expected to endure in the UK.
Anyone caught uploading is also treated more sternly, and could be jailed for as long as ten years.
Japan has a large market for media material, and its government apparently is bowing to protect the interests of rightsholders.
This past Summer the Japanese government ratified the draconian Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), despite it being rejected elsewhere. µ

Brow dare you
ban Scouse chic
Atomic Kitten singer Liz McClarnon
on Liverpool's Fashion Week rumpus
THE Scouse look has been banned from the catwalks – of LIVERPOOL.
Models at the city's October fashion week have been told by organisers they won't be allowed to have Scouse brows, fake lashes or high heels.
But here one famous local explains why she's proud of the ultra-glam look.
IN Liverpool the whole point is we make a real effort.
We liked to make an effort well before the Desperate Scousewives TV show and it will carry on long after.
To disassociate Liverpool Fashion Week with the Liverpool look would be a real shame. A big part of the reason we have the Fashion Week is Liverpudlians are into fashion and designers.
I understand the organiser, Amanda Moss, doesn't want it to be exactly like Desperate Scousewives.
But I also think we shouldn't completely separate ourselves from the Liverpool, "make an effort" vibe.
I just hope Liverpool Fashion Week will still have the element of fun I've experienced in previous years and they don't dull it down too much.
It has to be a great reflection of the city.
I make a lot of effort when I am at home in Liverpool.
It takes me longer to pack for a weekend in Liverpool then it does for a show.
I don't want to look too dressed down when I go home — I want to fit in.
I go for fake tan, fake lashes and heels. I would never go out with flat shoes on.
That has been instilled in me from the time I was a young girl.
I think the local sense of style is
as distinctive as the Essex style. I don't think there is anything wrong with a bit of glamour and it shouldn't be made into a big issue.There's no need to go OTT at Fashion Week, but they have to have a bit of the city in there.
Liverpool is my home, although I've lived in London for over ten years.
And I'm extremely proud of my Scouse roots.

she should have just owned up to her decisions she wasn't ashamed of laying up with a guy that was not her husband but didn't want everyone else to know the consequences she received from doing so. All secrets come out eventually.She should have let it be known she was going to be a baby mama and made a mistake but took full responsibility and was going to be a good mother to her child anyway but in the end it's good that she learned from her mistakes in the past and has moved on.

Mount Washington Ski Patrol provides mountain safety to guests and staff. The Ski Patrol team is committed to a fun and safe snow environment which is achieved through education, awareness, staff training, signage, traffic control, frequent offender enforcement and RCMP support.
The team is broken down into three main departments:
- Snow Safety and Avalanche Control
- First Aid and Rescue
- Safe Slopes
Snow Safety and Avalanche Control is comprised of 15 members who continually assess the snow pack and implement a variety of methods to control any avalanche hazard within the operational boundary of Mount Washington Alpine Resort. These methods include physically "ski cutting" slopes or using explosives to create controlled avalanches thus alleviating the danger. The Snow Safety team begin their morning at 5:30 am. There are a variety of tasks that include collecting data and forming a plan for the day's avalanche control. Snow Safety members also produce the morning snow report and the snow phone. Avalanche control is usually completed before 9:30 am and allows for the Snow Safety member to conduct further assessments of the slopes, assist in training, and provide first aid to guests. At the end of the day, members await the start of an organized sweep at the top of the mountain. Here the member will sign up for the run sweep of their choice and ride down that run in a coordinated effort to ensure that there is no one left on the mountain after closing.
First Aid and Rescue is comprised of 30 members and is complimented with an additional 75 member volunteer team that provides the mountain with an abundance of well trained First Aid and Rescue personnel. A morning safety meeting outlines the morning's duties, training schedule and run sweeps for each member. The member begins most days by skiing a designated run to ensure that it is free of hazards or obstructions including boundary line inspection, sign deployment, or placement of hazard markings. The member will then engage in a number of tasks that can range from attending to a workers injury in the kitchen to providing an injured guest with first aid treatment. Throughout most days there is training available for members which can include avalanche rescue skills, First Aid skills and rope rescue skills. At the end of the day, members await the start of an organized sweep at the top of the mountain. Here the member will sign up for the run sweep of their choice and ride down that run in a coordinated effort to ensure that there is no one left on the mountain after closing.
Safe Slopes is comprised of a six member team. The Safe Slopes team enforce the Alpine Responsibility Code throughout the entire mountain. The Safe Slope team is a compliment to the Ski Patrol and assist when required. Safe Slopes members start their day ensuring that all designated signage and barriers are in place. Members will also assist with other morning duties such as sweeping a run for any debris or hazard before opening the mountain to the public. These individuals are also tasked with the unique job of providing a physical presence in areas that have been deemed as a Slow Zone. Depending on the weather, snow conditions and volume of customers, members could also be tasked with ensuring that a boundary rope is in place and has been adequately cleared of snow. The Safe Slopes team may participate in training exercises with First Aid and Rescue as time and volume allows. Again, the weather plays a large role in how that day's slopes might be managed. The presence of new snow and obscured vision tends to slow riders down and having members set up for speed control might not be warranted. Members continue to do hourly run assessments of the Slow Zones to ensure that as the volume increases so does the physical presence of these members. At the end of the day, members await the start of an organized sweep at the top of the mountain. Here the member will sign up for the run sweep of their choice and ride down that run in a coordinated effort to ensure that there is no one left on the mountain after closing.
Safety at Mount Washington takes top priority. A commitment to promoting responsibility and awareness to all mountain users can reduce the inherent risk of Skiing or Snowboarding. With a little common sense and careful consideration of others, we can all enjoy a safer environment. Do the right thing on the mountain - be safe!
Observe and Obey These Signs
Alpine Responsibility Code
There are elements of risk that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Regardless of how you decide to use the slopes, always show courtesy to others. Please adhere to the code listed below and share with others the responsibility for a safe outdoor experience. Be aware! Ski and ride with care.
- Always stay in control. You must be able to stop, or avoid other people or objects.
- People ahead of you have the right-of-way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
- Do not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above.
- Before starting downhill or merging into a trail look up hill and yield to others.
- If you are involved in or witness a collision or accident you must remain at the scene and identify yourself to the Ski Patrol.
- Always use proper devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
- Observe and obey all posted signs.
- Keep off closed trails and closed areas.
- You must not use lifts or terrain when your ability is impaired through the use of alcohol or drugs.
- You must have sufficient physical dexterity ability and knowledge to safely load, ride, and unload lifts. If in doubt ask the lift attendant.
Basic Safety
- Plan ahead for variations in weather and be aware of changing snow surface conditions
- Only ski and snowboard in areas compatible with your ability
- After falling on the slopes or chairlift ramp move away quickly to avoid becoming an obstacle for other skiers or riders
- Slow skiing areas are intended for beginner skiers. Passing or jumping are forbidden in these areas
- It is your responsibility to maintain control of both your speed and course at all times
Mount Washington's inbound terrain includes natural hazards including cliffs and cornices. Ski with caution, unmarked objects and hazards may exist.
Safe Slopes Program
Here at Mount Washington, we believe that people should feel safe and comfortable so they can enjoy a relaxed ski run without the worry of reckless skiers and riders. All of our Safe Slope members are working to continually preserve this safe environment. Ensuring both our guests' and employees' awareness of the alpine responsibility code helps keep the slopes safe for everyone.
Our Mountain Safety team can't be missed. You can find them, wearing high-visibility vests, patrolling the "Slow Zones" and any other area that could become congested. These team members are on the lookout for skiers and riders traveling too fast or displaying reckless behavior. Often only a verbal warning will correct these issues but on occasion skiing and riding privileges are suspended.
You can help the Safe Slopes members by using common sense, courtesy and ensuring that you are skiing or riding in control and slowly through a Slow Zone without jumping.
How to Report an Accident
Firstly remember not to touch or move an injured person as their injuries could be made worse if the person is moved incorrectly! Place a pair of crossed skis or a snowboard upright in the snow uphill of the injured skier or snowboarder (or at the nearest visible spot if the person is in a blind spot). Inform the nearest Lift Operator or Ski Patrol personnel. Report as exact as possible the location of the injured , noting trail name, lift tower, etc.
Tobogganing Policy
Tobogganing is permitted at the Nordic area at Raven Lodge only at Mount Washington Alpine Resort.
- visit the Nordic Snow Report for status
A much better sliding option is the Ozone Snow Tubing Park. The Ozone provides a safe and controlled sliding environment. The best part is you don't have to walk uphill - there's a lift!

The DOE under the Energy Star Program tested a Haier product and found it failed to satisfy the applicable energy conservation standards. Haier found that the products noncompliance was due to a malformed part, ceased distribution of the product, and began repairs (and issuing repair instructions to its product service centers). Haier accordingly agrees to attempt to contact customers who may hold the defective product, to repair affected models at no cost, to extend warranties on the product, and will contribute $150,000 to the US treasury within 30 days.

Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
The FOX television network says it omitted part of Kobe Bryant's acceptance speech at the 2003 Teen Choice Awards.
The show aired Wednesday night, just hours after Bryant appeared in an Eagle County courtroom to face a sexual assault charge. The awards show was taped on Saturday.
Bryant was accepting the award for favorite male sports fgure when he said, quote, "an injustice anywhere is an injustice
A FOX spokesman says the network didn't feel the remark was suited to accepting his award, and was edited-out. The rest of his remarks did make the broadcast.
Bryant said he's "flying through some dark clouds" now, but that with God's will, "the sun will rise and shine again."
He's due back in court in October for a preliminary hearing.

When military veterans complete their service, they shouldn't have to struggle to find jobs. That's why Jobvite and The White House's Joining Forces initiative are teaming up to release "Apps For Heroes". The new feature set allows Jobvite's recruiting platform clients to check a box and flag the job openings they post to be automatically included in Veterans Job Bank. Clients can also easily add a Veterans Affairs Blue Button to their job application submission forms to allow vets to upload their military service history.
Apps For Heroes will be unveiled later today at a San Francisco event promoting First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden's Joining Forces initiative to support veterans. Held at the Code For America office, Biden and US CTO Aneesh Chopra will be on hand to discuss how technology can help reduce unemployment, especially for those who've served their country.
Jobvite will now give its clients the option to include Apps For Heroes features on their job openings. If they check the box indicating an opportunity is targeted towards veterans, metadata will be added to the job listing so it can be scraped and syndicated on the Veterans Job Bank. Employers are incentivized to participate in Apps For Heroes, as they can receive up to $9,600 per veteran hired thanks to the Returning Heroes and Wounded Warriors Tax Credits.
Launch partner LivingSocial will be one of the first companies to flag openings for vets through Apps For Heroes. Beth Mensinger, Head of Global Recruiting for LivingSocial tell me veterans make great employees because they're "fast-acting, quick on their feet, strong, and dedicated."
Apps For Heroes is great example of how the tech industry is banding together help the US bounce back from the recession. Today's event at Code For America follows yesterday's event with CTO Chopra at Twilio, where Codecademy and Mitch Kapor announced new and expanded programs to teach kids engineering and entrepreneurship.
Jobvite is the recruiting platform for the social web. Growing companies use Jobvite's social recruiting, sourcing and talent acquisition solutions to target the right talent and build the best teams. Jobvite is a complete, modular Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform which optimizes the speed, cost-effectiveness and ease of recruiting for any company. Jobvite customers include Zynga, Zappos.com, Starbucks, Match.com, Groupon, LinkedIn, TiVo, Twitter, Yelp, Whole Foods Market, and many others.

Happy Friday Warriors!
Where is everyone at?! Hope you are all doing well.
LBWO is done. I had a PR on good mornings today. 155x8 for 5 sets. I'm not 100% satisfied with my ROM on the last few reps on the last couple of sets. I will rinse and repeat for next week to make sure I'm happy before adding more weight. I have been doing these on squat day after squats and I can really tell it is helping my lower back and hamstrings when it comes to deadlifting. I would love to be able to GM 225 for reps one day....long term goal I guess!
Question...how many of you take fish oil? I literally eat no fish outside of 2-3x per year maybe. I started last week with a basic one. I can't say one way or the other about what it is or is not doing for me? I know I was deficient in the omega fats in my diet, so maybe I can report back with something positive?!
Short day for me today. I am going to a church conference this afternoon and will be back tomorrow for my son's birthday party. Spiderman is the theme!!!
Have a great day Warriors! If you want it, go get it! I appreciate each and every one of you. I was thinking of many of you this AM during my WO....if Cuervo, Runner, Island, Dee, Claude, BD, WP, Buzz, etc is up I'm gonna be up with them. You all inspire me!
Hi Warriors!!!!
Parson: yes I was up this morning working out with you!!! Great job on your GM PR!!!! Hope your son has a great birthday party! We had many superhero parties at our house!!! I have always taken fish oil for at least the past 3 years. I don't eat enough fish, but am trying to increase that! I take fish oil b/c it was recommended by my doctor and because heart disease runs in my family.
I started reading my new Tom Venuto book this morning and it has a lot of great info! It even talks about mental training and using the word WARRIOR to describe yourself during training!!!! Of course I thought "How appropriate!!"
I had a super workout this morning! I did Tabata sprints combined with lower body work and Kettlebells!!! I felt so powerful this morning! Tomorrow I plan to do a short run for speed and then go teach spinning. Then both my boys have soccer games so it will be another busy weekend!
I am in meetings all day today for work, but my cooler is packed and full of clean nutrition!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!!!! Hope to see more posts today!
Hey gang....sounds like everyone is doing well. Haven't been on the site for about a week....although I did try to get on a few days ago and something was wrong with the site and it wouldn't let me log in??? My latest 5k was 27:42 and it was the first time I ran with music (got a new iphone). I must say I definitely prefer pumping iron but I am committed to working on my 5k time for this spring and summer.
PB: I hear you about the fish. I only eat fish when there is nothing else to eat but I do take a fish oil pill everyday.
Ceurvo: I am with you on the cardio thing. I only do it because I know it is good for me but I would much rather pound the steel any day!
Hope all you warriors are having a great weekend!
fit4life "The dream must be bigger than the pain"
Hi Warriors!
Fit: Great to hear from you! I had the same problem with the BFL site one day last week. I got a weird error when I tried to go on the forum. Not sure what that was about! AWESOME job on your 5k time!!!! You are just shaving off those minutes like crazy!!!! It's funny b/c somedays I think to myself that I love running the most, then the next day I think that I love strength training the most!!! I guess it's good that I enjoy all forms of workout...to think just a little less than a year ago I didn't give strength training a second thought...now I want to tell everyone what a difference it makes in transforming your body.
Yesterday was a lot of cardio for me. I did a 3.5 mile run outdoors early in the morning, then mid-morning I taught spinning at my gym. Both were great workouts. My free day for food was yesterday and I will not dwell on all the unclean foods I consumed. I really need to find a better balance for my free days.
BDMom: I started reading the carb cycling solution book. I am thinking maybe by carb cycling I will have better control over my free days. I am planning to start in June when I am not working so I will have more time to plan and not have to rely on my cooler so much. I hope you had a wonderful vacation! I'm sure it will be hard to be back in the real world on Monday! Or, if you are like me, you will be ready to get back on a schedule with some structure!
I hope all you other Warriors have had a great weekend. I will check in tomorrow!
Greetings Fellow Warriors, Just a short note before heading out to LBWO today of Week 4, 5th day of C3 (a lot of nomenclature I know). Great to hear from you Parsons. How are those weight exercises going for you. I plan to try to start at 290lbs today on the Standing Leg squats with the smith rack and progress up to 330lbs at the end of the set all while watching my form doing the reps. Wish me luck on thisone. If so perhaps I can go up next week again or the week after. BDMOM: Sound like life is going better for you right now. I hope the short vacation is lots of fun, If it was a WDW I perhaps could have helped you out with guidance and such. Disneyland I haven't been to since 1978 so I can't help on that one. Let us all know how it went for y'all. Cuervo: How are the workouts going? I am sure you are clear of all of those old problems that you used to encounter several challenges ago. Best wishes to you in your efforts. RunnerMOM: Some great times on those current events your participated in. I always admire that many of the runs benefit a cause of some kind or another. I am still working the treadmill at the gym and currently I reach an incline of 7.0 at a speed of 7.0 on the last leg of my HIT Cardio routine on the treadmill (minute number 19). Well enough for now, got to go the gym closes at 8PM today and they hustled us out early yesterday I think due to Cinco De Mayo desires of the staff. Keep moving Forward everyone and anyone I missed this time, I am still thinking of you and wishing y'all the best.
Quick check in for me today. Workouts are good. I lost another 8 lbs this week. I am about crippled today, Friday was leg day and it was brutal. But in a good way. 50 rep sets for squats, then 30 reps sets of leg extensions super set with leg curls. Then walking lunges. I can barely move today and I had to work. Lol. I wanted to quit around rep 25 on the squats, but I realized that I must give it 110% every time in order to see the results. I needed to prove tommyself I would do it. Afterwards I felt great. I think I have some momentum now to carry me.
BD and runnermom. Let me know how the carb cycling goes. I have been reading alot from a guy named kiefer. He Is supposed to be great at carb cycling routines. He has 2 programs. CarbNite is one and carb backloading is the latest. I will try it, but I will wait until I hit that plateau that always halts my progress around 14-15% bf.
WPBill - sounds like you are in the zone. Great numbers on your squats. I definitely get encouragement reading the awesome stats y'all have.
Everyone else- have a great week and kick some tail.
Morning Warriors!
Looks like several of you are in the groove! Keep it up!
Cuervo/WPBill - Way to go on the workouts!
Carb cycling - I have never done it before. I have read some peoples experiences with it on other forums. Results aside, some people love it and seemed to be geared for it. Others fall apart right off the bat LOL. I guess all you can do is give it a go and see how you do.
We had a great weekend around our house. Jonah's birthday party was a blast. By the end of the party he transformed into Spiderman! He got a costume from one of the grandparents that looks like the real thing I think LOL...it has been so much fun!
All of that said, I took some liberties with the food this weekend. For the first time in a long time I went to be last night bloated haha! Before bed I started chugging water and will continue downing ridiculous amounts for the next day or two.
But...all of that food and I smashed my workout this AM. I had a goal of 1 rep on my last OHP set with 135....and I nailed 3! I have made slow progress with this, but steady so I am happy with this little goal behind me. Next goal is 155 and then onward and upward.
Have a great day my friends! Give it all you got. You are capable of so much more than you could ever imagine!!!
Parson: You are just hitting those PRs right and left! Way to go! Glad you had a great b-day with your son this weekend. I had an awful eating day on Saturday as well...oh well....Sunday was the start of a new week so here we go!
Cuervo: Thanks for checking in!!!! You sound like you are killing it....a loss of 8 lbs....WOW!!!!! Yes, another reason I want to look into carb cycling is b/c I have hit a plateau. I don't want to lose any more weight, but I can't seem to get my BF below the 18% mark. I have been stuck there for months it seems. I am hoping that carb cycling will help.
WP: Thanks for the congrats. The race I did last week benefitted one of my former students and his brother who are both suffering from Batten's Disease which is a horrible genetic disease. Their parents are so good at organizing events to raise awareness of this dibilitating disease.
After my rest day yesterday, I was up early this morning ready to hit the gym HARD! I warmed up on the TM then had a good LBWO. My nutrition is packed and clean. I made a batch of protein pancakes last night to put in the freezer. I changed the recipe just a bit from the previous times I have made them...I added vanilla whey powder and strawberries....YUM!!!!! So , so good!!!! I use a recipe from BDMom with FF cottage cheese, egg whites, oatmeal, and vanilla and almond extracts.
Have a great Monday....make this WEEK COUNT!!!!!
Hey Warriors,
Back to the land of the living feeling pretty good or at least better than Linda, her back is still bothering her. She is seeeing a chiro 2 a week now. He only wants her doing his excercises that he has shown her nothing else. I had migraines Tues. Wed. Thur. last week but managed to get my wo's in anyway. Did a Trail run yesterday,forgot my ipod and right as soon as I has far enough away from the house I felt like I needed to go pee. lol So for my run I had a full bladder. Decided to map my run on .com here are my stats for my first Trail run ever. 4.19 miles, Time 41:43, Avg. pace 9.56 min/mi, avg. speed 6.03 mi/h, Cals burned 458. So all in all better than I thought I was doing. Felt like a clydesdale pulling a wagon,didn't think I was going that fast. Next run tomorrow as this will be my cardio from now on. Will see how much I can shave off of this.
Proverb31, Hope everything works out for you and you can resume those wo's soon.
Cuervo, Glad to see your back and really rocking those wo's.
Parson, Glad you got back to enjoy the BD Day, never want to miss those especially at that age.
BD, Sounds like you enjoyed your vacation how many churro's did you enjoy? lol. I guess Linda is dealing with her back and she is suppose to get back on track today. Her food has been pretty good all week or at least better than before. Sounds like you are back on track already. Need to hear more on the carb loading thing.
Roadrunnermom, I have quite a ways to go on the trail running. Your runs are amazing. Years ago one of my friends ran her first 5 k and when I asked how she did she said good and when I asked what was the fastest time she said some 15 or 16 yr. old did it in a ridiculos amount of time, 15 min. lol. You are not that far off.
Gotta run now.
Keep KILLING THOSE WO'S GANG!
Hello Warriors!!
I missed you all! We had a great time with Mickey & friends, but it is nice to get back to reality. Doing loads of laundry today, and have my nutrition final tonite. I have my chemistry final on Thursday and I haven't even looked over any of my notes yet..yikes!
I gained 4#s while away, but I knew I would gain, so not a big surprise. Heck, it really could have been more given what all I ate. I guess walking around those parks for 12 hours a day helps burn off a lot of that!
I started my Chris Powell carb cycling today. Today is a low cal/carb day, and so far, I am doing fine. Guess those glycogen stores are still full from Disney..ha. I will try to stick to low carb/cal on M,W & F, and high carb/cal on T, TH & Sat. Sunday is a free day, but will have to experiment with that. I will weigh in on Saturday mornings. Will keep you posted.
Claude: sorry Linda's back is giving her issues. Mine was really bothering me the week before we left (I injured in over 20 years ago, and it still haunts me). I used the foam roller and it really helped a lot. I always have to pee when I run, that is why super long distances are not for me. Good job on your run!!
Parson: I hear you. I think I'll do well with carb cycling because when I make up my mind to do something, I usually follow through; I'm stubborn. My sister has a tough time of it, and didn't last more than a day. She is giving it another go; we'll see how she does. So glad your son's birthday was a success. It sounds like so much fun!! I am sure with all that food, you did have a great workout this morning; it usually helps fuel those workouts. I am curious to see how my Hiit goes tomorrow morning after a day of low carbing. I don't take fish oil. I used to, but I had to see a cardiologist due to irregular heart patterns at one time, and he told me to go off of it, as well as all caffeine or any stimulants whatsoever. I also have a very sensitive GI tract, and that oily stuff doesn't sit well with me. That is why I like the chia seeds; I am able to get the benefit of omega 3's everyday, without eating fish at all.
Cuervo: Yay, congrats on the loss. You are back to killing it!! I will keep you posted on the carb cycling. I am right where runnermom is. Weight is fine, but would like to see my body fat drop some more and really hone in on that lean muscle mass.
WPBill: Wish we could have gone to Disneyworld and met you. I like Disneyworld better, but Disneyland was still a blast. We really enjoyed ourselves. It sounds as if you are doing Awesome on this challenge....keep it up!
runnermom: I think summer would be a good time to start the CC; the low carb days are kinda tough when having to pack foods for the day. I am really having to be creative to get up to 1,200 calories on that day. I am trying to stay right around 1,200 on low carb days, and around 1,500 on high carb days. Without those carbs, the cals don't add up as quickly. I am anxious to see how I do with it. I am really just wanting to maximize my full potential and I like trying different stuff and seeing how my body adapts. It's nice to be at a place in our fitness journey that it is not all about weight loss!!
Fit4life: You are just bound and determined to whoop all of us on your 5K time. When will you run your first official one? The music helps soooooo much!!! I'd lift anyday over running, but that is why I do it; it's good to get out of your comfort zone on occasion!!
K...gotta get some laundry done and STUDY!
Make it a great week!!
"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday!"
Warriors!!! Happy Monday!!
I just finished my workout. After getting home and spreading about 30 bales of pine straw. I am finally figuring out how to make progress without hurting my shoulder any more. It has been a blow to my ego having to lift much lighter, but failure is possible at lighter weights.
Glad you are all doing well and BD is back home safely. I am usually posting from my phone these days so reading back for personals is hard on the tiny screen. Just know you are all my Heros!
Have a great night. Let's kick @ss this week. I am on a mission. Haha.
HelloWarriors ! I absolutely love this name ! I am currently on week 2 of my 3rd challenge. I was wondering if I could pop my head in here and introduce myself and possibly make friends, get some support, etc... hope you guys are having a great week. I'll check back tmw !
Aloha Warriors!
I have just started an 8 week challenge invested in a stack recommended by my best buddy from the island of maui, Today is day 2, I'm really gonna try and take it home on this round! Yesterday was chest Dumbbell flat bench presses took it to 100's for 10, incline press on the smith machine took it to 235 for 8 barbell high rep burners 135 2 sets for 20 and 155 2 sets for 15, ended with cable crossovers super setted with reverse cable tricep extensions and finally dome dumbbell skull crushers.. my chest was absolutely blasted lol..
Today was back day mostly deadlifting started at 135 for 20 working my way up to 410 for 6 and my final burner was 315 for 15! Did some wide grip pulldowns and finished with one arm dumbbell rows 80lbs. I was literally flyin on endorphins till noon, I swear deadlifting is sooo amazing for working your body as a whole!
PB: Man you are knocking down PR's like it's going outta style! Awesome!! Keep it going moving forward!!
Runner: as usual you never skip a beat!
BD: welcome back! Glad you had a great time at the happiest place on earth :) Study up and good luck on your final you'll be just fine!
Claude: That trail run sounds awesome We have some lava fields here that have trails in em I hiked em before but never ran those rocks can really eat through some shoes lol.. not to mention with all the heat radiating back at you it can get really hot really fast.. Good work though!
Cuervo: Glad to see you checking in regularly.. 8lbs in a week! Saaaweeettt!! Sounds like the warrior is back in full force.. keep it up man!
Runnergirl: welcome to the warrior ohana! wow 2 challenges under your belt amazing! I'll beat runnermom and BDmom on the questions coming your way :-P 1) what are you trying to achieve this time around? 2)What does your nutrition look like? hehe Glad you found your way here.. This is the place to be, everyone is so supportive and there is a wealth of info between us. Again.. welcome!
ok warriors time for bed early cardio session tomorrow.. OWN IT! ALOHA!
Welcome runnergilrl007! Yes, you can join the crew. Cost of membership is sweat and dedication....please do submit your pets or small children LOL! Glad to have you here!
Two exciting things happened yesterday. One my little girl came home from school yesterday and said - "Daddy, can you help me learn how to run faster?" Well, we did cardio last night because she wants to run faster than anyone else in her class. She is 6...I'm not a cardio guy by any stretch, but if she wants to do it I say lets go. THEN...while we were getting bath's for the evening my little boy said, "Daddy, will I be strong like you one day?" I kind of laughed at first and then I said, "Buddy, you will be much stronger than daddy one day...!" He kind of smiled and said, "OK!" I was pretty stoked on the inside.
Good...great LBWO this AM, but last night with the kids was even better!
Island_dude - I agree, deadlifting is probably the most complete lift a person can do. I tell people this and they don't believe it...when I started deadlifting - EVERY other lift got better. I believe everyone should have a goal of DL 1.5-2x their body weight...men and woman. I'm not quite to 2x yet, but I will be there before the summer is over. Great job on them!
Cuervo - Way to go man! Glad you are getting zoned in on everything.
Claude - Great job on the run! Hope Linda is feeling better today!
BD - How was/is cardio this AM after the lower carbs? I looked back over my food diary and kind of noticed that I do fine within a range of carbs. Me personally I'm not a big carb lover, but I don't like to go too low. Too low for me is getting below 150g/day Mentally I feel fine, but after a few days things start suffering. 4-5 days is the most I have gone that way just seeing how I did. I'm sure you will do great!!!!
Runnermom - Can you or BD send me the recipe for the protein pancakes? Is there a substitute for the cottage cheese. It is one of my least favorite things on the planet and one reason I avoid even attempting making these things because I see everyone uses it. I've tried so hard in the past to like CC, but I just can't stomach it. The thought of it being in something is immediate turnoff for me (same goes for cream cheese, and GY). Any help/recipes would be appreciated. I will put my apron on and give it a whirl LOL!
Dee - How are you doing? Any updates?
Have a great day Warriors! I have a busy one ahead today!
Welcome, Runnergirl007! The Warrior thread is the BEST!!!!! Yes, Island Dude beat us to the questions! Fill us in...inquiring ears want to know :)
Parson: You totally cannot even tell that there is cottage cheese in the protein pancakes! And I mean TOTALLY!!!! But, if you can't eat them just knowing that it's in there, then you could probably leave out the cottage cheese. I have seen recipes without it. The recipe BDMom sent me is very simple: 1 carton (the smaller carton) liquid egg whites, 16 oz cottage cheese, 2 cups dry oatmeal, splash of vanilla and almond extracts. (***When I made them this weekend I also added 2 scoops of vanilla whey isolate and strawberries. Sometimes I use blueberries. These are just extra add-ins if you want!) Blend all together in a blender, and then pour the mixture on a griddle or however you normally make pancakes. You will be amazed at how much they look and taste like the real thing!!!!! It usually makes at least 10-12 pancakes for me, but of course it will depend on how big you make your pancakes. They are SO YUMMY!!!! BTW, I love the comments from your kids! Isn't it great when they notice your accomplishments!!!??
Island: As usual, YOUR workouts are amazing!!!! Just curious, why did you decide on an 8 week challenge? Funny thing, I don't even know where I am on my current challenge as far as time goes....it just seems like for me this is for life. I know this summer I will have to take at least 2 weeks of break b/c we have 2 vacations planned...one in June and one in July. I am hoping to still work out but I know that my eating probably won't be so good during vacations!
BDMom: Welcome back!!! A 4 lb gain is not a lot!!!! I know you will lose that in no time flat! I am excited about the carb cycling. I am still reading the book and just love all the info. I might try to start before summer....I really want to break through this plateau! If I can finish the book by this weekend then I might start next week.
Cuervo: I looked up the Carb Nite information you posted about. I think Kiefer's philosophy is a little different than the carb cycling book I am reading (the one BDMom is following too). Kiefer's seemed a little extreme to me, and not as "healthy". But, I only read an excerpt online, so not sure about his whole program. I am anxious to finish my carb cycling book....you know I am a nutrition/fitness info junkie!!!!
Claude: I hope Linda's back is better. I am glad to see her completing her food diaries on MFP! BTW, I won't tell you some of the places I have used as "restrooms" during my runs! Ha ha!!! When you gotta go, you gotta go......
Today was double day for me. I ran outdoors for my HIIT this morning....I am getting tired of the TM! I did a 5k outdoors in my neighborhood which meant lots of hills! It was a great run...I did intervals of speed, hills, and recovery. Then I came indoors to my basement gym and did UBWO/push. I had a few interuptions b/c my kids are out of school today for a teacher workday, but I got it done so that's all that counts! Nutrition is packed and clean today. It is almost lunch time so gonna go eat some grilled chicken, veggies, and buckwheat groats!
Have a great day Warriors!!!!

Making A List
Making A List
Each year I wait, count,
list your appearance nearby,
wonder if you will
come to me again.
I write cryptic notes like this:
-in the garden, and
-again under tree
I add the time and date.
Then I search the place
where you were, looking
for some sign, feather adrift
bent twig, a footprint.

I am not sure why I am lucky this way, or if it is that I have somehow found the discipline. I will say it is not easy and against nature. Men die of lack of women. Women do not die of lack of men. Imagine then, living isolate and really knowing the risk somewhere down deep, that you are going without sufficient oxygen, say, and feeling the edges of you die away. That is what it is like for men.
If they do not behave well, even when they behave so oddly that they turn you women away, it would do you well to remember that they may well be dying and crazed from it.
Michelle, I know. Me too. :)
But Jozien, I think that knowing I have no woman right now might signal something to you you don't get in another way. I turn out different in the flesh than how you see me here... Making the flesh and blood decision is different, perhaps.
