I really need to get started again. I'm thinking of doing Ripped in 30
Posted 01 April 2012 - 05:40 PM
I've been looking at Jillian's DVDs online, I want a couple of workout routines for during winter when it's too cold to get outside! Do you need the DVD to do the one you want to do, or is it something different? Thanks!

I'm starting Ripped in 30 tomorrow, so I'm in! I did No More Trouble Zones last week, was sore for a few days after, probably shouldn't have jumped straight into a 1hr workout straight away. Will be doing it early in the morning before work, so won't be in to update until tomorrow evening though.

I am hoping to start the 30 day shred one tomorrow, it is the first time I have done it so it will be interesting to see how I go, might keep an eye on this thread though hopefully it will help me keep motivated. Good luck.
Posted 01 April 2012 - 08:10 PM
My motivation has been non-existent, I really need to get into it. Pretty disappointed in myself, this time last year I was 66kg, now just over 80, sheer laziness and not eating well enough.
Posted 01 April 2012 - 08:18 PM
I have put on about 12 kg in the last year, its come too the fact that I have hardly any winter clothes that will fit me! So that is my motivation - I don't want to buy any more clothes (one money, plus trying to find some that fit me that was comfy!!)
Posted 01 April 2012 - 08:23 PM
Yay! So happy to have some company. I also need to lose weight (& have put on a bit more lately ). Would be happy with 8 - 10 kilos.
cardamom - I have her DVDs (a lot of them ) but I think you can 'acquire' these ones online.
See you all for check-in tomorrow!

Count me in!
I am 6 weeks post birth, have dropped the extra baby weight and now have about 12 kg to lose - I have been hanging onto this 12 kg for about 6 years now and I want it gone!
I couldn't find 30 day shred at the shop, so went with Ripped in 30. I had a false start last week, and started again today - pretty confident I can get through it but I need something to keep me accountable - checking in here should help!
So anyway, if anyone is interested - a quick review on Ripped in 30 level 1: I find it reasonably easy given I haven't exercised properly for a long time - it makes me sweat but knowing the circuits are so short helps me push through it and before you know it, you are warming down.
I am going to (try to) incorporate a daily walk too, as so far it feels it will tone rather than burn fat initially. I guess all that new muscle will eventually help burn fat too. I hope!
Looking forward to it!

I am in sugababe, provided I can modify it and not do it when I do pt and run as I just don't have time to do it all.
I have 4.8 kg left to lose and easter is looming and chocolate is my downfall!
I have boxing tomorrow and I like to run 6km on Tuesdays, so I will start Wednesday with level 3 30ds.
Posted 02 April 2012 - 07:27 AM
Im in
I acquired Ripped in 30 late last week, and had planned to just do it a couple of times a week on days when I didnt run or cycle, but I like a challenge, so Im up for doing it more!
I dont want to lose any weight (have recently got to goal weight of 55kg), but I do want to tone up. I run 4-5 times a week and cycle between 10-30km on my non running days.
ETA: I have done the week 1 workout twice, and loved it, really love the format.

I just did my first one! Just about to head out, but will come back with what I thought
Posted 02 April 2012 - 10:32 AM
Have been doing Ripped in 30 for the last week (so about 3 days of it) and also did it this morning, so count me in with the motivation to keep going.
I love the dvd's with the 3-2-1 workout. I purchased 30 day shred and acquired Ripped. I love this one. Still at level one, enjoying it and sweating my hole off with each workout. Can't wait til level 2, though I will give it a few more days before I step up to that one
Posted 02 April 2012 - 05:29 PM
Day one done Love this workout...
Posted 02 April 2012 - 06:51 PM
I did it thisafternoon too
Posted 02 April 2012 - 07:49 PM
Got up early and did it this morning, was pretty good, will be back up early tomorrow for Day 2.
Posted 02 April 2012 - 10:25 PM
I'm in. I'm only doing it twice a week though as I'm using it to complement a running program. I've been doing level 1 of ripped in 30 for a few weeks and moving to level 2 tomorrow. My plan is to stick with each level for about 3 weeks.
I'm not looking to lose any more weight, just a bit of toning and a different workout. I actually think I've noticed ab definition since I've started.
Posted 03 April 2012 - 01:03 PM
Day 2 done, nice & early as I have to go to work tonight. Had more energy than yesterday
How is everyone going?
Posted 03 April 2012 - 01:07 PM
Still trying to get hold of the program! Looking forward to trying it based on everyone's reports.
Did a 40 minute boxing-aerobics workout last night, was good
Posted 03 April 2012 - 01:09 PM
I did it again thismorning, after an 18km bike ride, so the legs were a bit tired, but still managed to get through it. Looking forward to seeing some results
How was level 2 duedec?
Posted 03 April 2012 - 03:30 PM
Still to do DandS. Will probably wait to do after the kid have gone to bed. DD hasn't had a sleep today and we've been out all morning.
Posted 03 April 2012 - 03:56 PM
Look forward to hearing how it is, and whether its much harder than week 1.
Posted 03 April 2012 - 04:07 PM
Haven't had a chance to do anything yet today - was running around like a mad woman this more going here and there, before the MIL arrived. Might try tonight when everyone is in bed. Legs are very sore, not sure how I am going to go.
Posted 03 April 2012 - 10:13 PM
RI30 - Level 2 done for the first time tonight. Cardio a bit harder, warmup seemed a bit quicker, and you can notice each bit getting a bit more techincal. I am a bit unco in places! Enjoyed it.
Posted 04 April 2012 - 07:09 AM
Hello all,
I did a workout Sunday, but missed monday's workout, my little boy had an ear infection and would not leave me at all! I plan on doing the workout 5 times a week so I think Monday can be a rest day
Did it yesterday - after I started it last week I was fairly stiff and sore for a couple of days after - I'm not finding that this time, so I think I am getting use to it :-)
It will be a challenge today to get a workout in, I have my baby's immunisations this morning, and uni all afternoon - so I need to make myself do the workout when I come back from the doctors.
Posted 04 April 2012 - 07:25 AM
I didn't do it last night but first thing this morning, boys are waking up very early so I thought since I was so wide awake and they were busy watching cartoons I would have a go, so set up the portable dvd in the bedroom doorway and didn't in the hallway lol not much room anywhere else in the house. I choose a bad time to start though with school holidays coming up and Easter!!! So much temptation everywhere! And trying to find 20 mins were I am not disruppted by the kids - we all know how hard that is!

Cat Logistics adding parts distribution center in Mexico
Caterpillar Logistics Inc. is is adding a new parts distribution center in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, the company announced on March 30. The 500,000-square-foot facility will employ up to 150 people and is expected to be operational mid-2013.
The capital city, San Luis Potosi, serves as an ideal location for a strategic logistics operation. Access to major airports and a rail hub is complemented by a major highway crossroads providing easy access to transportation routes between major cities in Mexico.
This investment represents the first of many aimed at enhancing parts distribution operations in Central and South America. The facility in Mexico will be the sixth new parts distribution center in the modernization plan and will join new facilities in Central California; Clayton, Ohio; Spokane, Wash.; Waco, Texas; and Dubai, UAE. The added facilities represent nearly four million square feet of increased capacity to the overall distribution network and clearly demonstrate our commitment to providing unmatched parts availability to customers and dealers around the world.
In addition to these new facilities, there are also capacity expansion projects underway at existing Cat Logistics facilities in Atlanta, Georgia; Grimbergen, Belgium; Melbourne, Australia; and Shanghai, China. These projects are focused on delivering unmatched customer support by increasing capacity and realizing network efficiencies. All of these facilities are leveraging common systems and processes in addition to Service Parts Management (SPM), a global solution that replaces multiple legacy software systems supporting the Cat parts network.
"We are pleased to reach the next stage of our multiyear expansion, and this facility will further enable us to meet the significant growth in this region now and in the future," said Steve Larson, vice president of Caterpillar Inc., and chairman and president of Cat Logistics, in a press release. "Our investments in state-of-the-art technology and processes have one purpose — ensuring that Caterpillar and Cat dealers support our customers' success better than anyone else."
In addition to the global expansion and enhancement of the Cat parts distribution network, Caterpillar has announced a number of strategic capacity expansions globally including new and existing manufacturing facilities and additional research and development capacity. These actions have occurred in the United States, South America, Europe and across Asia, positioning the company to meet growing demand for its products in the coming years.

So I'm really into Mark Sisson and his blog Mark's Daily Apply lately. It's been kinda slow at work so I spend hours poring over the hundreds of links he embeds in his posts.
Today's MDA was titled "17 Reasons to Walk More This Year". www.marksdailyapple.com/17-reasons-to-walk-more-this-year/
The biggest takeaway came from a related article that read: "In my experience, it�s the easy, seemingly inconsequential stuff that�s the hardest sell. The crazier, more unconventional stuff gets all the attention. Tons of people get out there and do heavy squats, order grass-fed cows, buy the latest Vibram model, learn to love liver, and proudly stride barefoot into the grocery store � but they drove to get there. It�s the easy things, like walking regularly and often, that are somehow the hardest to do. They�re the easiest to ignore. Walking? Yeah, it�s nice, it�s relaxing, but it won�t put on the mass and elicit the hormonal response of a set of heavy deadlifts. It isn�t sexy.
Walking matters, folks. Big time. If we stop moving, even if we�re standing at our desks and hitting the gym every other day, we�re dying. We�re telling our bodies that we�ve given up, that it�s okay to shut down, that all those millions of years of daily, constant walking were an aberration, a mistake, a fluke. That�s folly. I think you know it, but I don�t know if you know it."
How true! I've made strides to accept the hardcore aspects of Primal, but I've been neglecting a big part.. sunshine and walking.
It made me so motivated to walk, I wanted to get out and see the sunshine! I ate my lunch then put on my coat and mittens and headed out in 21� for a lap around the nature trail. It was so invigorating. I left my phone behind at my desk, and when I spotted 3 little deer being goofy in a clearing, I cursed myself because it would have been such a cute pic. But then I realized it was much better to be in the moment, watching the woolly winter deer nibble on each other's ears in real life, rather than trying to snap a pic for fb.
I think I'm going to keep my barefoot shoes here at my desk for after-lunch walks. It's so easy to sneak away for a 20-minute mile on slow days, so why not?
Whole30 is going really well so far. Day 7 and I think I'm out of the "carb flu" stage. I've been instagramming my meals for accountability so don't forget to add me (@laural1sh) if you're interested in what it all entails.
I've also accepted two more challenges on IG. I'm doing the #jan14yogachallenge where each day @beachyogagirl posts a video of a pose and we all post our best attempt. There were some headstand poses right off the bat and it forced me to spend some time on them. I could already tell that my handstand pushups are getting better as a result! The other challenge is #flowin52 where my friend @paigelysaight has challenged us to record one freestyle pole dance per week for all 52 weeks of 2014. We post a clip for accountability. Then at the end of the year we go back and review how our dance style, vocabulary, trick progressions, transitions have changed throughout the year. It's cool!
Feel free to jump into any one of these challenges.. whether it's simply walking more, doing a daily yoga pose, committing to a Whole30, or freestyle dancing. Don't let the frigid temps keep you down, go out and live life!
A fun little activity from MDA!
1. What were your biggest failings or mistakes this past year � healthwise � that were preventable or avoidable?
Not better preparing for special occasions that break me from my nutritional routine. Every trip I took in 2013 took me over a week to recover from. Too many gas station candy bars, starbucks lattes, restaurant meals, and overindulging in homemade pasta!! By the time the trip was over I was tired, my guts hurt, and I had no motivation to workout.
2. What were your biggest health problems that were not preventable or avoidable � and how did you respond?
I caught a cold in October and I took exactly one rest day but otherwise kept right on working out. Probably not the best plan because that sucker hung around for a while, and I think I was the culprit for spreading it around the gym :(
3. Which food consistently has the worst effect on you? How does it make you feel (or look, or perform)?
Ice cream. It makes me gassy, queasy, bloated for days. There's been a couple post-dairy workouts where I wimped out on the squats because I didn't want to let 'er rip at the bottom ;)
4. What concrete step or steps will you take to fulfill a more abstract resolution?
Complete my Whole30 in January
Squat 3x week for 8 weeks, then reevaluate strength program
Flexibility training, something every day
5. Why are you where you are?
I am stronger and fitter because I stopped counting and tracking. I started lifting weights that weren't globo-gym machines that do the work for you. I pole for at least 3 hours a week.
I am not a strong as I would like to be because I only crossfit once a week, and I cannot get into certain pole postures because I don't stretch enough.
6. How will you hold yourself accountable?
I'm instagramming my Whole30 and also the January Yoga Challenge to force myself to eat properly and stretch each day. I set up a gym buddy here at work to lift with me twice a week.
7. What kind of criticism have you received lately?
In athletics, flexibility is lacking. I cannot get to proper squat depth without lifting shoes bc of ankle flexibility issues, and many pole poses I'm strong enough to hold, but just can't bend far enough to get into them. In life, I'm too messy. Constant complaint from neat-freak military bf.
8. What are you willing to do to change?
Spend more time on unpleasant tasks like stretching, cleaning up after myself, and holding myself accountable.
9. What are you physically unable to do (comfortably) that you�d like to be able to do (comfortably)?
10. What, or who, stands in your way?
My job. The commute is killing me. By the time I get home at night all I want to do is cram food in my gullet and lay on the couch. Going to a pole class just feels like misery at that point. Looking for a new job for a few months now.
11. If you could do anything with your life, and money were no object, what would you do?
Live on a farm, growing my own produce and raising my own meat. And rescue lots of little kitties and puppies to come hang out on my farm with me.
Last year vs. This year
Last night for fun I snapped a pic wearing the same clothes and in the same posture as in my "30th pound lost" pic (my lowest weight since adulthood)....
I'm so so so so so so happy with my new lifestyle!!
I don't mind when the scale goes up
I eat A LOT of delicious food!
(Seriously, a LOT of food. My bf's family couldn't believe how much I shoved in my face)
I can do things I thought were physically impossible for me!!!
I don't worry about silly things like "monthly fitness minutes" because I LOVE what I do for fitness!!
I'm SO THANKFUL for where I am now. THANK YOU PALEO! THANK YOU CROSSFIT! THANK YOU POLE!
I'm about to start another Whole30, so if you're curious about what Paleoheads like me eat, follow me on Instagram @laural1sh. I just got a new Paleo cookbook, so I'm geeking out in the kitchen and posting a lot! I also throw in a new pole trick here and there :)
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys...
I just PR'd my backsquat on my lunch break! By 15#!!
The plan was to do 85% 5x2-3. But they were just going up so easy that my workout bud urged me to put more weight on, which put at 5# below my max. Did that for 3, no problem, so we went for a 5# PR. Did it for 2, so then we went for 15# PR and it was a grinder but I got it up!! Weeeeeeeeee. Does that make any sense to people who don't lift? I drank the koolaid and I can only talk in jargon! Right after we did 15 to 1 kb swings/burpees and I finished in 24:08
On the other end of the spectrum, pole has been going very well too. I did a solo performance in our Winter Showcase and got compliments on my routine, which was an awesome feeling. Within the last week or so I mastered a trick that I thought was a "benchmark" trick, one that if you had it, you were pretty darn good at pole. I worked for weeks on it, and now it's finally solid.
I've gained more weight and still am fitting in my same pants! Yaayyy. Yesterday at our christmas luncheon a guy commented that my biceps were getting big lol :)
So while all of this was going on, I kinda gave up on Spark. Spark doesn't advocate fitness and nutrition advice that I believe in or is relevant to me. Most of what I practice is taboo in this world (aka, eat eggs every day, don't do cardio for long periods, add fat to every meal).
But... in the new year I want to focus on fueling my performance. I want to get serious about weightlifting and continue to advance in pole. I want to get so fit that they would feature me on Spot Me Girl.
I just did the calorie calculator on EatToPerform.com. They gave me a calorie goal of 2300, fat goal of 100g, protein 135g, carb 230g. Which has me thinking about using the nutrition calculator again. I feel like a I eat -- a LOT, but really I've been without my food scale and tracker so long I have no idea how much I really consume in a day. Plus tracking would keep me from sneaking junk food like the butter cookies that somehow ended up on my desk.
I'm planning on doing a real Whole30 in January (not the Whole30-lite I did in November for a few weeks!) So maybe I'll track that month only so it doesn't feel like I'm chained to tracking again. Sounds like a plan!
This article showed up in my Fb newsfeed yesterday, and promptly started a debate!
I wholeheartedly believe every single one of these points made in the article. PLEASE read the whole thing and take a moment to digest the information. The commentators at the bottom of the article have also dug up some very insightful links that are worthwhile. They also bring up valuable points and counterpoints to each argument.
I'm sharing this here because I sincerely think it could help the SparkCommunity. A year ago, I was chained to scales and trackers. I had ANXIETY when I was unable to calculate nutrition info to the gram. When I went to the gym, I spent all my time doing aerobics, spinning, or running. I was happy that I lost weight, but I was miserable because my life was consumed with counting and tracking. I knew that if I let go of the trackers, all the weight would come right back. Every time I tried to free myself I promptly gained 5lbs. Wanna know why? I was eating a high carb/low fat diet. My body was STARVING for nutrition.
I'm starting to sound preachy.
Deep breath....
What I'm trying to say is, I feel like I was duped. I tried SO HARD to follow the rules of eating healthy, but the rules were incorrect.
It makes me want to cry when I think of people scared to eat eggs and bacon, but instead choose a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast because they were told by a DOCTOR it's "heart healthy"!
I can't make people change their minds about nutrition, no matter how passionately I feel about it. It's something that's been ingrained into Westerners for decades. All I ask is that every individual do some research. Get both sides of the story. Maybe even try a Whole30, and see how much better your body functions when you feed it happy healthy fats and nutritious vegetables.
Ok, that was me going off the deep end.
Next blog will be happy and uplifting, not a PSA, I promise :)

Pappas, the third of the four golfing brothers from Phalaborwa, fired a five-under-par 67, the same as runner-up Don Gammon, who had started the final day three shots adrift, to record a 19-under-par total of 269.
It was a day of high drama which came close to descending into farce when one of his third round co-leaders, Sammy Daniels, did his Jean van de Velde impression, shedding his footwear at the par-four 15th to hit his second out of a water hazard en route to a bogey five.
That brought to nine the number of strokes Daniels had shed in a rollercoaster round of 75 that also included six birdies. His unscheduled paddling session had been preceded by a triple-bogey six at the 12th and another six, this time a double, at the next.
Pappas, who lives in Orlando, Florida, said his concentration hadn't been affected by Daniels' tribulations. (My caddie) Mark (McCann) and I just stood there and talked about whatever came to mind. That's the way it goes. Sometimes you've just got to wait and get back into your routine when it's your turn,' he said.
His other playing partner, Pretoria rookie Martin Maritz, was also struggling.
He started the day bogey, double-bogey, a shot worse than Daniels' bogey-bogey at the first two holes, all of which allowed Pappas to jump into a three-shot lead after a birdie at the first hole, which proved one of the toughest on the new lay-out all week.
Daniels did get back to within a shot at one stage, after a birdie two at the seventh, before his round imploded, but the real challenges to Pappas' leadership came from further down the field, particularly from Gammon, who had held a share of the halfway lead after Friday's second round. Out in four-under-par 32 to Pappas' 34 - the eventual winner made his only major mistake with a three-putt at the ninth for his sole bogey - Gammon birdied the par-five 11th hole to draw level with Pappas, who was playing the 10th, at 16 under.
Gammon's share of top spot was a shortlived one, however. When his turn came at 11, which he said was 'playing the longest it had all week' because the wind had shifted and was blowing into the players, Pappas rammed in a 35-footer for eagle to jump out to a two-shot advantage which was never cut. A birdie three at the 16th, which he described as 'probably the toughest hole out there today, with the pin in the back corner', finally assured him of what he described as 'definitely' his biggest win. His previous professional victories had consisted of 'a couple of mini-tour wins' in the United States and the Cleveland Open on last year's BUY.COM tour.
'The key today was to make no mistakes, no mental errors. We kept it in play all day,' he said, using the collective term to include his trusty caddie, who started out teaching him and has been on the bag for a couple of years now.
Clearly not a man given to great displays of emotion, the 33-year-old was nevertheless delighted to have broken his duck on home soil with such a prestigious title. 'I had a look at the trophy there and it's got all the great names,' he said.
With Daniels and Maritz, who made a 71 for a share of third place, falling off the pace, Sunday was an opportunity for players further back to come through the field and several took advantage, none more so than Roodepoort's Hendrik Buhrmann, who equalled the course record with a seven-under-par 65 and saw a 25-foot birdie putt lip out on the 18th to rob him of a 64. He finished four back, level with Maritz, Alan McLean and Nic Henning.
Ireland's Peter Lawrie matched Buhrmann's round, moving from one under par to a share of 20th spot on a 72-hole total of 280.

LS 600h, "may rank among the most technologically advanced automobiles in the industry."
My point was really to get footie to simply back up his claim. If you make a claim and are challenged, even if the challenge or challenger does not immedaitely disprove you, you should be able to back up your claim. Otherwise your words are mostly useless speculation. I think I have given plenty of counter examples that challenge his claim at least in principle, although I would never go so far as to say I have disproven it. I don't have a huge interest in such a claim as there is bound to be some subjectivity and it is unlikely that one can really choose a single winner. If I did, trust me I'd would have disproven him long ago
Saying that the Evo X has a very advanced drivetrain is not backing anything up at all. You of all people, probably the most technical person that i have ever come accross with should no better than that. Show some technical data Swamp that would clearly show that the GTR and Evo X are equal or that one is more advanced than the other. I can say the same thing about the Subaru WRX, that does'nt mean anything. In regards to the LS600hl, i'll agree it is advanced but it has also been labeled as the most over hyped vehicle.

Samuel Roy Cone II stabbed pregnant woman more than 30 times, police say
Updated On: Mar 06 2013 09:18:42 AM CST
A pregnant Ocala woman who was stabbed more than 30 times is recovering in a hospital, authorities said.
Police said Samuel Roy Cone II, 59, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of attempted murder after stabbing Jill Feingold.
BEST OF THE WORST: Mugshot Hall Of Shame On WPBF.com
The Ocala Star-Banner reported Feingold, 40, underwent surgery in Ocala after the Monday attack. She was then transferred to Shands at the University of Florida in Gainesville, where she and the unborn baby are listed in critical condition. She is 22 weeks pregnant.
Police said Cone is the uncle of Feingold's husband. Officers took Cone into custody outside the home, where he told police he was sorry but "they took all I had."
Ocala police Det. Mat Steckman said the attack apparently stems from a dispute over who will inherit Cone's mother's estate.
A quick search of the Marion County Sheriff's website shows this week's arrest was Cone's seventh since 2000.

Stuff happens, it's true, and when it does there may be an initial shock, a questioning of how life can possibly go on in the face of the severity of some major revelation.
The recent course of events leads me to suspect that this column is about to take a turn for the real. Coping skills I've never heard of will be sought and practiced. Laughter will be invaluable and love indispensable. We, and by we I mean me and mine as well all of you, will get through it — together. I will continue to share my life with all of you, always hoping that my experiences and research will assist or inspire.
I don't know what to share at this point; it all feels so personal, except to say that me and mine are entering new territory. A place where light and shadow intersect, and re-evaluation becomes the context for every thought and action. "I don't know" is our new mantra.
I believe that as my family and I move forward, everything will move in the direction of becoming what it was always supposed to be, sacred and in the moment. Appreciation will take on new meaning. Time will be reconceived. What matters will change more rapidly than we thought possible. A creative loving force will come more fully into view.
The challenge of staying in the moment is a lifetime's work, but it is the only real way to be in our life.

Among the companies whose shares are making notable moves in Monday's session are BlackBerry Ltd. (BBRY), Nordion Inc. (NDZ) and Martinrea International Inc. (MRE.T).
BlackBerry ($8.14, down 3.2%) shares are down again after a 7% drop Friday following the smartphone maker's fourth-quarter results, which included a big miss on revenue. Credit Suisse downgraded its rating to underperform from neutral, saying it is "concerned" about the pace of the company's cash-burn levels and the pressure on services revenue, and believes "visibility on a turnaround is very low."
Nordion Inc. (C$12.76, up 11%) said Friday it has agreed to a takeover offer of $11.75 a share from U.S. sterilization-services firm Sterigenics and Chicago-based private-equity firm GTCR LLC.
Martinrea (C$10.02, up 14%) said the special committee that undertook a forensic review of the company's previously reported financial statements found that results for 2013 should be approved and that prior period results don't need to be altered or restated. The review took place in response to claims the automotive parts supplier's disclosures hadn't been accurate. The company also released fourth-quarter results, which GMP said were in line with its estimates.

TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE FOR 28th ANNUAL BUDWEISER GUNS 'N HOSES
Al Hrabosky and Brett Hull to serve as honorary team captains
ST. LOUIS (September 16, 2014): Tickets are on sale for the 28th annual Budweiser Guns 'N Hoses boxing event benefiting The BackStoppers, a non-profit organization that assists families of first responders who have died in the line of duty. This year's event will take place at 7 p.m. Thanksgiving Eve on Wednesday, Nov. 26 at Scottrade Center.
Guns 'N Hoses will feature 15 three-round bouts of boxing and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) matches between police officers, firefighters and emergency medical personnel from Missouri and Illinois. Both male and female fighters are scheduled. Prior to the opening bell, Guns 'N Hoses will honor those first responders who lost their lives during the past year.
"Budweiser Guns 'N Hoses is a great holiday event and a real tradition in St. Louis," said David Stokes, president of the St. Louis Guns 'N Hoses Boxing Association. "The BackStoppers would not be able to provide the care and necessary assistance to our fallen heroes without the generous support of the St. Louis community who support our first responders through fundraising events such as Guns 'N Hoses.
Former MLB player and current St. Louis Cardinals color commentator Al Hrabosky, and NHL all-star and current Executive Vice President of the St. Louis Blues Brett Hull are serving as this year's honorary team captains. Hrabosky will captain the red team and Hull will serve as captain of the blue team.
Both Hull and Hrabosky are excited and honored to be a part of the annual event. "Guns 'N Hoses is a tremendous way to honor the first responders who put their lives on the line every minute of every day," said Hrabosky. "I've supported Guns 'N Hoses since it began, and I'm so proud to serve as an honorary team captain."
"I attended Guns 'N Hoses for the first time last year and was moved by the overwhelming show of support for our first responders and The Backstoppers organization," said Hull. "I'm honored to be a part of this year's event and to serve as a team captain."
Guns 'N Hoses is presented by the non-profit St. Louis Guns 'N Hoses Boxing Association and sponsored by Budweiser and Grey Eagle Distributors, the Anheuser-Busch wholesaler in St. Louis County. Since its inception in 1987, Budweiser Guns 'N Hoses has raised more than $4.5 million to benefit The BackStoppers.

Tarot Card of the Day
The Moon
What has traditionally been known as the Moon card refers to a deep state of sensitivity and imaginative impressionability, developed within a womb of deep relaxation. Here we dream and go into trance, have visions and receive insights, wash in and out with the psychic tides, and experience deep mystical and/or terrifying realities beyond our ordinary senses. The full moon and/or eclipse cycle charted by the Magi (as in some of the earliest Moon card images) exemplify this as a mechanism that Nature uses to expand consciousness.
The variants of the courtly lovers (representing skillful use of the sex force) or the man sleeping it off under the tree (use of drugs to alter consciousness) are also traditional avenues for tapping this primal force. Human interest in higher states propels us to the frontiers of consciousness, where we cannot always control what happens. The Moon card represents the ultimate test of a soul's integrity, where the membrane between self and the Unknown is removed, and the drop of individuality reenters the Ocean of Being. What transpires next is between a soul and its Maker.

The Virginian-Pilot
Old Dominion fans have been extraordinarily generous in buying tickets and donating money to the school's football program, athletic director Wood Selig said.
But in the wake of ODU's 47-10 loss to Maryland, Selig said he's asking them for something else: time.
ODU is in the first of a two-year transition from the Football Championship Subdivision to the Football Bowl Subdivision. The Monarchs played their first FBS teams the last two weeks, losing by 14 at East Carolina in a relatively close game. The Maryland game wasn't close after midway through the second quarter.
"We shocked everyone with how successful we were right out of the block," Selig said of ODU's 38-10 FCS record. "That was great and helped propel us toward Conference USA and FBS football.
"But to expect that kind of success to continue with this transition is unrealistic.... What we're doing is more difficult than starting a program from scratch."
He said that's one reason the NCAA mandated a two-year transition. ODU joins Conference USA next season and likely won't be eligible for a bowl until 2015.
"Our university of opponents is now defined as the nation's top 125 schools," Selig said. "Before that, we could play down. We had options where we could play non-scholarship schools, Division II schools.
"Instead, in 11 out of 12 games (next year), we're going to be playing schools that have been recruiting at the FBS level for years. Even schools at the bottom of the top 125 are very good. We're going to get there, but it will take a little bit of time."
ODU plays five FBS and seven FCS schools this season.
Foreman Field claims top sellout streak in Va.
Thanks to a soft spot in Virginia Tech's schedule, ODU now claims the state's longest streak of sold-out home games.
ODU will sell out its 30th in a row Saturday in the home opener against Howard. And given that Foreman Field seats 20,068, it's a streak the school could continue for several years.
Virginia Tech had sold out 93 consecutive games at the 65,632-seat Lane Stadium until hosting Western Carolina on Saturday. The game drew 61,355.
ODU's Board of Visitors was recently briefed on a plan to build a new stadium on campus to replace Foreman Field that likely would open in 2017. The seating capacity is projected to be about 30,000. ODU officials feel there is enough ticket demand to fill 25,000 to 30,000 seats.
Monarchs take reps in mental-game prep
Quarterback Taylor Heinicke said his confidence wasn't shaken by his three-interception performance in the first half against Maryland, a game the Terrapins led 31-3.
"That's a really good defense," he said of Maryland. "They have an NFL defensive coordinator, and they were playing a defense we weren't expecting.
"You're going to have that type of game. I had three picks against Duquesne last season. It's one of those things you have to bounce back from."
He said the team had a closed-door meeting this week to lift spirits. Coach Bobby Wilder said confidence was shaken by the loss to Maryland, especially for ODU's young defense.
"I told them, "Guys we're 0-2, but look at the two opponents,' " he said. "East Carolina is arguably the best team in Conference USA. And we could have won that game."

FRIDAY, Jan. 28 (HealthDay News) -- Women who experience menopausal symptoms and have increased intensity of hot flushes have a reduced risk of postmenopausal breast cancer, according to a study published online Jan. 6 in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
Yi Huang, M.D., from the University of Washington in Seattle, and colleagues assessed postmenopausal women diagnosed with breast cancer to identify associations between menopausal symptoms and the risks of different histologic types of breast cancer (ductal, lobular, and ductal-lobular). Data were analyzed from a population-based case-control study in women aged 55 to 74.
The investigators found that women who had experienced menopausal symptoms had a reduced risk of developing invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma, or invasive ductal-lobular carcinoma. These risk reductions were independent of when or how recently hormone therapy was used, the age at menopause, and body mass index. Among women who ever experienced hot flushes, increasing intensity of hot flushes was associated with reduced risk of all three breast cancer subtypes.
"All women included in this study were 55 to 74 years of age at diagnosis suggesting that the hormonal changes that occur with menopause that take place five years or earlier still appear to impact breast cancer risk. So if our observations are confirmed, a greater understanding of the biological consequences of the hormonal fluctuations that occur during menopause and their relationship to breast cancer risk would be warranted," the authors write.

Penny Freeman, former staffer in tears over Ron Paul betrayalsSubmitted by Apple on Sat, 06/09/2012 - 09:00
- Login to post comments
I came here just to post this
I came here just to post this video, glad to see it's already here but disappointed that its not getting the attention it deserves. It really should be seen by every Ron Paul supporter - some real bombshells in here! Is there a way we can get the video embedded so that it's easier for people to watch?
why isn't this showing
in 'recent comments'? Has it been flagged?
Rights are like muscles; you must exercise them to keep them fit, or they will atrophy and die.
I'M not new!
...and I'm saying this video needs to be seen by every person on DP!
Call me a Troll or Griefer and it proves you don't know what you're talking about!

she was a FORMER staffer..
how do you know that she is in the "loop" with this campaign?
Wow, so many new posters!
So many new griefers! I wonder what these people are getting paid by Mittens (or maybe even the Paul Campaign?) to push this agenda that Rand is evil and has gone to the dark side. In a way it's good. If the Paul supporters are buying this manufactured soap opera, then so are the Mittwits. While they're distracted, let's get more delegates and see if this psychodrama gets Dr Paul more press.
I'm pretty sure this was all planned. If it was, then it is a work of Machiavellian genius. And maybe there's some true Patriots in the know, helping out and playing along, like Alex Jones.
Let's get those delegates and bring the fight to Tampa!
Err....um.....the Mitt
Err....um.....the Mitt supporters here on Rand's side. If Rand was ever part of our "movement," he certainly isn't now.
An amazing video

Welcome to Schippmann electronic musical instruments
We are designing high sophisticated synthesizer electronic. We started with the well-known 'ebbe und flut' (released July 2006) and switched in 2012 to 3 HU Eurorack modules.
What's next? CS-8 ol series. 'ol' stands for 'open-loop'-technique. So, six different stereo-eurorack-filter modules (19 TE/PU) with the appearance/design of the phaser PHS-28 are in process.
1. 6-pole DIODE-horizontal-cascade-Highpass [HDH-6] -> very!! nice & smooth high-passing (36 db)
2. 6-pole DIODE-vertical-cascade-Lowpass [VDL-6] (ladder) -> very nice & smooth low-passing (36 db)
3. 4-pole TRANSISTOR-vertical-cascade-Highpass [VTH-4] -> cool 24db high-pass filter
4. 4-pole TRANSISTOR-vertical-cascade-Lowpass [VTL-4] (ladder) -> fat & rich 24 db low-pass
5. 4-pole open loop OTA-horizontal-cascade-Lowpass [HTL-4] -> fat, rich & smooth 24 db low-pass
6. 4-pole MIRROR-cascade-Lowpass [MCL-4] -> excellent 24 db low-pass
All filter-techniques are totally discrete (Transistors/Diodes). Every filter is perfect for back-end as well as for synth and other applications - each one for a target price of 479 . Because of their technology and features they do not compare to the VCF-02, e.g.
We'll start successively with 75 units each of the first 2 types (HDH-6 & VDL-6) until they are (almost) sold, then the next types will follow. With production start in autumn we'll start the sale.

The Minnesota National Guard has officially launched its new nearly $4-million Unmanned Aircraft Operations Facility at Camp Ripley. The facility is capable of storing, maintaining and launching the unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly known as drones, as well as training operators. Guard members from other states will also be able to train there. There are seven drones at Camp Ripley. They carry sophisticated cameras that help troops see what's over the next hill, around the next corner or up ahead in the road. The National Guard's drones have been to Iraq and Afghanistan. In Minnesota, they are only allowed to fly at Camp Ripley.

Ah, fanart. Also known as the art that girls make.
Sad, immature girls no one takes seriously. Girls who are taught that it's shameful to be excited or passionate about anything, that it's pathetic to gush about what attracts them, that it's wrong to be a geek, that they should feel embarrassed about having a crush, that they're not allowed to gaze or stare or wish or desire. Girls who need to grow out of it.
That's the art you mean, right?
Because in my experience, when grown men make it, nobody calls it fanart. They just call it art. And everyone takes it very seriously.
It's interesting though — the culture of shame surrounding adult women and fandom. Even within fandom it's heavily internalized: unsurprisingly, mind, given that fandom is largely comprised by young girls and, unfortunately, our culture runs on ensuring young girls internalize *all* messages no matter how toxic. But here's another way of thinking about it.
Sports is a fandom. It requires zealous attention to "seasons," knowledge of details considered obscure to those not involved in that fandom, unbelievable amounts of merchandise, and even "fanfic" in the form of fantasy teams. But this is a masculine-coded fandom. And as such, it's encouraged - built into our economy! Have you *seen* Dish network's "ultimate fan" advertisements, which literally base selling of a product around the normalization of all consuming (male) obsession? Or the very existence of sports bars, built around the link between fans and community enjoyment and analysis. Sport fandom is so ingrained in our culture that major events are treated like holidays (my gym closes for the Super Bowl) — and can you imagine being laughed at for admitting you didn't know the difference between Supernatural and The X Files the way you might if you admit you don't know the rules of football vs baseball, or basketball?
"Fandom" is not childish but we live in a culture that commodified women's time in such away that their hobbies have to be "frivolous," because "mature" women's interests are supposed to be caretaking, via marriage, children, and the lives of those within an imagined (generally nuclear) family unit: things that allow others to continue their own special interests, while leaving women without a space of their own.
So think about what you're actually saying when you call someone "too old" for fandom. Because you're suggesting they are "too old" for a consuming hobby, and I challenge you to answer — what do you think they should be doing instead?
I would like every anon and non-anon who have sent me messages along the the lines of 'you're too old for tumblr, it's creepy' and 'when will you grow out of fandom?' to read this and remember it when they are in their 40s.

When Brazilian graphic designer Carol Rossetti began posting colorful illustrations of women and their stories to Facebook, she had no idea how popular they would become.
Thousands of shares throughout the world later, the appeal of Rosetti's work is clear. Much like the street art phenomenon Stop Telling Women To Smile, Rossetti's empowering images are the kind you want to post on every street corner, as both a reminder and affirmation of women's bodily autonomy.
"It has always bothered me, the world's attempts to control women's bodies, behavior and identities," Rossetti told Mic via email. "It's a kind of oppression so deeply entangled in our culture that most people don't even see it's there, and how cruel it can be."
Rossetti's illustrations touch upon an impressive range of intersectional topics, including LGBTQ identity, body image, ageism, racism, sexism and ableism. Some characters are based on the experiences of friends or her own life, while others draw inspiration from the stories many women have shared across the Internet.
"I see those situations I portray every day," she wrote. "I lived some of them myself."
Despite quickly garnering thousands of enthusiastic comments and shares on Facebook, the project started as something personal — so personal, in fact, that Rossetti is still figuring out what to call it. For now, the images reside in albums simply titled "WOMEN in english!" or "Mujeres en español!" which is fitting: Rossetti's illustrations encompass a vast set of experiences that together create a powerful picture of both women's identity and oppression.
One of the most interesting aspects of the project is the way it has struck such a global chord. Rossetti originally wrote the text of the illustrations in Portuguese, and then worked with an Australian woman to translate them to English. A group of Israeli feminists also took it upon themselves to create versions of the illustrations in Hebrew. Now, more people have reached out to Rossetti through Facebook and offered to translate her work into even more languages. Next on the docket? Spanish, Russian, German and Lithuanian.
It's an inspiring show of global solidarity, but the message of Rossetti's art is clear in any language. Above all, her images celebrate being true to oneself, respecting others and questioning what society tells us is acceptable or beautiful.
"I can't change the world by myself," Rossetti said. "But I'd love to know that my work made people review their privileges and be more open to understanding and respecting one another.""

Re:'no definitive conclusions can be reached' (341 comments)
What we know about GMOs is that there are no known examples of harm caused by them that can be reproduced by scientific peers.
You mean like Monsanto's Newleaf Potatoes?
There was first the Dr. Arpad Pusztai study that showed it caused "damage to the intestines and immune systems of rats fed the genetically modified potatoes."
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81rp%C3%A1d_Pusztai
Industry and the Royal Society of Medicine declared Dr. Arpad's study flawed and his study was considered discredited.
Then it turns out the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences had conducted a similar study that found similar results. Except this study had been suppressed by Monsanto for 8 years.
Major US food companies, like McDonald's and Frito-Lay, used Newleaf Potatoes for a few years before consumers complained about GMO "frankenfries."
It would be one thing if GMOs were being developed to taste better, grow larger, etc. However, most GMOs that are being developed either seem to be for either producing their own pesticides or to allow more pesticides to be used on them. It's not complex logic that putting new and more poisons on our food could cause us harm. Especially, when so many studies are coming out linking various diseases to pesticide use. Slashdot just recently an article linking Parkinson's to pesticide (http://slashdot.org/story/13/11/26/1956243/how-heroin-addicts-helped-scientists-link-pesticides-and-parkinsons). Pesticides have been linked to being a cause of Autism (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3404662/) and other diseases.
Re:Heat related? (190 comments)
As single event upsets (SEU) are caused by cosmic particles which create alpha particles. It makes sense that equipment higher in the rack would absorb more of the alpha particles and block them from systems lower in the rack, but I am not a physicist. Alpha particles are relatively easy to block with shielding.
As the link said, this was first theorized in 1978 and supercomputer companies have been designing systems with this in mind for decades.
This isn't news (190 comments)
This isn't news. Companies that make supercomputers have known this for decades. The one I worked for 15 years ago used a high elevation test environment in Colorado to verify error correcting capabilities. Even the article says that the results were not a surprise.

I would word it "any legal content." You wouldn't want to word it "ANY" as that would mean they wouldn't be allowed to block malware or DoS attacks and such. If ISPs weren't allowed to block DoS attacks that would be crippling.
Re:French media isn't credible when they blame Isr (215 comments)
USA basically confirmed and said it was not a joint operation with Israel.
If Israel wasn't involved they would have denied israeli involvement.
The Israeli office of the Prime Minister denied and the USA said it wasn't a join operation. I'm not sure what more you want.
I don't know how you can argue that lack of proof that Israel was involved proves that they were.
As far as reputable sources for the Le Monde being found guilty, google "Le Monde found guilty racist defamation". There are dozens of other places that provided the news. Pick whichever ones you do find reputable. Wall Street Journal has it behind its pay wall, but I didn't want to link to a pay wall.
Le Monde found guilty of "racist defamation" (215 comments)
In fact, this newspaper has even been found guilty by a French court for "racist defamation" against Israel and the Jewish people in the past.
As a poster below pointed out, the NSA practically confessed to the spying:
The American authorities noted that the activities of the intelligence service "were carried out according to law."
And the documents in the article stated that the NSA said it wasn't a joint operation with the Israelis. The Israeli prime minister's office made an official statement claiming they were not involved.
All evidence points to the NSA with no Israeli involvement.
This article is nothing but antisemitism and has no place on Slashdot.
French media isn't credible when they blame Israel (215 comments)
If it was the Guardian making this claim, it would have some bearing. They have some authority in the leaks and have the source material to find this information.
French media just likes to blame Israel and Jews for everything, so I find little credibility to this article.
Unless I missed something in the article, everything basically says the US and Israel both deny having any involvement in spying on the French. The Guardian printed that it was the NSA that was spying on the French. While I wouldn't be surprised if Israel also spied on the French, I have not seen any such evidence provided.
The French article seems to take Israel's denial and that because Israel wasn't mentioned in the leaked NSA documents as the responsible party that obviously they must be involved.
These kind of Israeli/Jewish conspiracy theories appear regularly in French media, but they don't belong on Slashdot. My Dad's family is from France and Belgium and it is amazing some of the stuff I've seen my grandparents read in French mainstream newspapers. Antisemitism is apparently so bad in France today that Jews that had left France pre-WWII and moved back have been leaving again because they don't feel safe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_France#Post-World_War_II:_North_African_Jewish_migration - See the "Antisemitism and Immigration" section).
