Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The Omni Amelia Island Plantation next month will begin working on an $87 million renovation, the Jacksonville Business Journal reports (subscription required).
The Amelia Island, Fla., resort will receive 155 new guest rooms and 20 suites, all of which will have ocean views, the story says. It's also getting a new pool with terraced decks and two hot tubs.
Omni bought the 1,350-acre resort on Amelia Island out of bankruptcy for $67.1 million in August 2010, according to the Business Journal's report.
The work is expected to be completed by March 2013.

Vogue Saggo
This cover is SO Saggo in its sensibility that i feel it's like a Sagittarius Shaman Of Fashion or something. Thoughts?
Even the coverlines; don't Sagittarians just love their festivals?
This cover is SO Saggo in its sensibility that i feel it's like a Sagittarius Shaman Of Fashion or something. Thoughts?
Even the coverlines; don't Sagittarians just love their festivals?
Oh, I was just about to comment on the Neptune Princess post about "What is happening with Neptune at the mo 'cos I have had some seriously crazy dreams, especially last night…" when I read this about a Sagittarian Shaman… Eek. In last night's seriously vivid and creepy dream I was being stalked by a "Dark Shaman" (who TF knew they existed) who was creating horrible Blare Witch style installations outside my house and telepathically STITCHED MY EYES SHUT during my sleep, saying my fingers and mouth were next.
Sorry, but the coincidence just totally freaked me out Mystic…!!
Lex, in one of Lynn V. Adrews books (a female shaman from Beverly Hills, originally), she is confronted by her dark Sorcerer/Shaman.
She sees a lizard with his mouth sewn shut and knows some kinda gig is up.
Her dark shaman dogged her from day one but her teachers told her that it was eventually to return her to light.
She was of light originally, and for this reason was why she was conscious of being on a path at all. But it was all a bit confusing. (Did I mention she is a Pisces btw? She really is and not I'm not just being a smart arse but do want to giggle a litltle ). I found her books tho such a comfort when I was frightened by things. Her confusion was mine, you know?
Just love her books. She truly walks the edge, venturing into the underworld of the psyche. But she always returns, transformed.
Realize that may not be much of a comfort right now. But love and light. You'll be okay. Hugs.
Hey, I went to a reading by Lynn Andrews once, I think it was the early 80s. She just wrote a new book and was reading about an indian marriage basket. But it has been so long, I have forgotten the details.
Neat that you met her in person Charles and had a book reading with her.
The marriage basket was from her first "Medicine Woman", whereupon she had to stalk the sorcerer and then strike thus culminaiting in a confrontation.
She won/earned back the basket ("for all women"). A balance of energies needed here on earth.
Sent her a little letter once and she wrote back. Was late 80's and was quite thrilled to have it written in her own hand.
In her book she quoted someone (couldn't find it) "Magician's of the world, unite!"
Balance of energies? For all women? Ah, that explains some things. My gf wanted to attend and I went with her. I was the only man in the room. The women in the audience wouldn't let me sit in the chairs near them, they made me sit on the floor in the back of the room. I am sure Lynn would not have condoned their behavior. Ha.
Haha indeed. Lynn's teachers always talked about "the firstness of women" and so of course that being a relatively new idea back then, those gals at her reading pushed and shoved to make sure you ended up on the floor
No, think Lynn is far more fair minded than that. Everyone needs a place to sit! And good on you for being the only male! x
Poor Lexicorn. That sounds just awful, I live in terror of dreams like that. It's why I do an energy read of my house then a psychic sweep before sleep.
I used to wonder if it helped and I think it does. I dreamed that Greys were popping out of corners the other night, frustrated they couldn't get to me (whatever it means) and I felt good.
Best of luck with whatever means you choose to approach this. I suppose like Sweetpea suggests, you may be too far down the Shaman's road to turn back at this point! Not comfy.
Hey you lovelies, thanks for the sweet thoughts.
How intriguing about the Lynn V Andrews, SweetPea. I won't go into the nature of the creepy Blare Witch sculptures by they were pretty brutal on a few furry, feathered and slithery friends.
Well, I trust it was a fleeting thing and the ooky Dark Shaman will not be returning… Suspect it has links to personal fears, having almost lost an eye in the past and bad sight now thanks to it, couldn't live without my fingers (being a pianist AND writer) and well, what'd we do if someone did literally 'shut my mouth'… I'd be lost if I couldn't wax lyrical!
It was just unreasonable in it's vividness, I understand nightmares happen, but they should at least seem silly and fake in the moment, no?
But good idea Andromeda, it's been a while since I had any unwanted 'visitors' in my home but I might just do a thorough clearing tonight, just in case… xx
Freaking …!! Now I can't sleep worrying about your dreaming Lexi – you don't deserve the scary violence. Trying to think about deeper significance though as to dream like this is like a lightening bolt from your soul.
PS and I just woke up and couldn't go back to sleep so am here online at this ungodly hour. Sheesh ….
No No No! Hate the hair!
Leo moon, Sagg Venus.
I do festivals if I can find someone my age (scorp Neptune generation) to go with.
Over the past few years have fallen in love with progressive trance music. Went to see Armin Van Buuren and others in a 10hr fest, must have been the only person there not on other substances. Vodka & Mother(the energy drink) was enough to keep me UP! I loved the energy of the room and shirtless boys (young enough to be my son). Many complimented me on how 'cool' I was to attend such things at my age and were blown away by my knowledge of the music genre. Looking forward to attending NYE Van Buuren show in Melbs.
I also did a Grateful Dead concerts/fest back in the 80s in states. Yes, this was a trip to say the least! Loved how the 'dead heads' ask afterwards "how was your show man?" referring to your individual trip. It was all peace love and die yuppie skum!! Full of saggs and aquas no doubt! Many travelled from show to show on converted school buses selling tye-dye and those now trendy braided bracelets to survive. I of course returned to reality(Cap sun, merc, mars) after the weekend trip.
Hi capfire~
Those were fun times, fo' sho' !!
*kind veggie burritos* after show served up with a smile :O)
While I definitely dig the hair, I'm a Leo moon and Sagg venus as well (and asc) but half of my planets are in Capricorn including my sun.
Your description makes me laugh because it reminds me of me… I love a good, trippy adventurous time at a music festival or camping on the beach…
but when the weekend's over, it's over.
Work hard, play hard, you know?
Hmm.. that's a classic example of what I think is the goal of fashion photography. The goal is not to be beautiful, but to be striking. Grabbing attention sells fashion. Being beautiful means people ignore the fashion.
Maybe that's a good metaphor for Sag: be striking.
What a lovely idea charles, I would definately go with that, being a Sagg. Never thought of it but I think they should go with it, sans shame. This whole post is resonating with me, and funny its intertwnied with the neptune stuff as I am really connecting with my pisces rising at the moment. Synchronicity CITY tonight!
Burning Man: totally Sag festival!!
I really hate that bleached eyebrow look that's been going around. Almost every Sagg I've talked to hates it as well, unless you happen to be a natural blonde with those.
But yeah Burning Man is tres Saggo.
Most of the Saggi's I know are more bouncy and athletic than shamanic. Well during day-time at least.
Maybe they are the Werewolves of the Zodiac?
I do recall SaggEX in makeup at a full moon party with a feather in his hair, but I think he was going through his 'questioning his sexuality to attract women' phase. Or playing YMCA for the tourists. Something like that.
yeah, image is very sagg! And yes, really, who can go past a good festival? My faves are the ones that involve a road trip there and back, tho i'm getting far too old to think that being grubby and having to deal with festival portaloos is still 'cool'. too many years of my saturn in virgo activated the last few years.
Anyway: i think the whole pluto in sag thing (for what felt like 100 years) turned every sagg i know (alot) including me from our natural upbeat not a care in the world to suddenly fascinated with the underworld, slightly troubled, and if not able to channel it intensely into psychotherapy/shaman studies/even more travel (but to ever more weird places), then heavily into the drugs. (not me- as i felt my grip on reality already a little questionable).
Sometimes all of the above combined.
pluto in Sag was a hellova trip.
i think the Sagg as Shaman thing is actually more accurate than the happy go lucky archetype of us these days. tho we still bounce back from pretty much everything. but with sometimes sad/wise eyes behind the jokes.
Wow maybe they have an astro fiend working for Vogue- did anyone see October cover? Its their 90th year edition and Scorpionic to the max….
OMG i love love that cover – thanx aqualibrarising. Think i need help
I had hair like that on Saturday night, just super curly…!
I read I think in Stephen Arroyo, or Claire from Astro.com, that we arrive at our sun sign's true meaning later on in life,..when we have done our other journeying. Maybe us sagg's become more shamanic later on…once we have accepted responsiblity or whatevs? jsut a though.
and yes I absolutely love festivals, especially the hippy vibe you get by day 3, but I dont like it when they get too muddy,.
if you look very carefully, you can see her STERNUM poking up beneath her throat. nearly photoshopped out. she has no breasts or pecs to speak of and I don't think it's because she spends all her time cross-country running or surfing or climbing the back-tracks to photograph a spotted phascogale for her ecology project. NO. SKELETAL IS NOT SAGGO, VOGUE. this pisces is upset on behalf of her saggie friends with healthy appetites.
Saggies eat lentil burgers or , channa dhal, banana splits, mapo tofu, french onion soup, home made [or made by the hot neighbour's mum] baba ghanoush, coffee and thick soursough toast, anything except nothing. right..??
RIGHT. Saggo rising.
Sooo Right from another saggo rising!
OMG Hilarious ! Saggo ex was ALL ABOUT the *festies* ~ we had fun all over the country ~ he could fall asleep all xxx'ed up within seconds on a rockpile in a camp full of full-throttle freakers. How did he DO that ??!
O i love my leather & furs, feathers & stones.Wearing bits
of nature. The book 'Urban Shaman' was close by me in the early 90's.
Just received Lynn Andrews newsletter this morning as loved all her
Translated the original Flower Power into Aromatheraphy.
Had my tatooes done by Tahitian Shaman who whose body was completly
covered top to toe in them. His fare (house) was alive with vines growing inside,
hermit crabs & gekko's in the stone bathroom, clam shell for washbasin, frangipani
& gardenias EVERYWHERE. And an amazing fire-dancer. Hot as.
Only eat soughdough bread & used to go festivals. The burning man one seems wild, but never
attended one.
Hmm, this pic creeps me out, Sag sun conj venus here. I do love the festivals and the feathers, and I do wear my hair in braids, but not poofy ones, and there is something totally disturbing about the no eyebrow thing. Only David Bowie is allowed to do that.

|Bath + Beauty
|Ceremony + Reception
|Design + Calligraphy
Please allow at least 12 weeks for the creation of your gown. Rush orders available for an additional fee - contact for details. Your gown will be shipped insured, tracked, in a sturdy storage box.
* As featured in Atlanta's 2011 NotWedding *
Evocative of the crystalline feather-frost on a cold window and soft mounds of newly fallen snow, the First Frost Gown is the newest original design by Bekah Tuggy and now available for a custom fit for you.
The First Frost is comfortable and strong without a constricting inner structure. Layers of sheer, matte white organza are interlined for a lightweight, no-see-through beauty. Handcut, feathery frost-shards in matte crinkle organza embellish the right side of the bodice and hip from front to back, creating a unique asymmetrical focal point with beautifully textured raw edges. The simple A-line skirt closely skims the waist and hips and widens slightly to the floor, while the top two layers are cut away over the toes in a sweeping curve to unveil clouds of the softest crinkled tulle. (This stuff is seriously touchable…I would sleep in piles of it if I could!) All layers are anchored at the waist with a simple, clean one-inch-wide waistband that binds the embellished frost-feathers like a sheaf of wheat.
Bodice is fitted with unusual doubled pairs of vertical darts. Modified vee/boatneck is at a classic depth, perfect for the retro starlet and the modest bride. A surprisingly deep, adjustable vee corset back reveals just the merest hint of skin (modesty panel available upon request) while a left-side zipper allows for simply easy dressing. Mathematically precise construction and reinforced seams mean you can dance the night away with no worries!
Gown is fully lined. Because of the nature of the multiple sheer layers, this design does not come with the side-seam pockets common to my gowns. Please note that the vintage rhinestone belt shown in these photos is NOT included with the gown.
This listing is for a high-quality polyester or silk chiffon gown (please check options.) Gown also available in ivory, perfect for a summer/fall harvest feel.
Check out this dress in motion in White Dress Media's NotWedding video
Current turnaround time for gown orders is 12-16 weeks. Rush ordering may be available for a surcharge; contact me for more information. Upon receipt of order, I will send you a list of measurements I need. Plus sizes may incur additional fabric charges.

Loss Worsens for Northwest
Northwest Airlines (NWACQ), one of three large U.S. carriers operating in bankruptcy, said its third-quarter loss widened as a result of its higher fuel bill and Chapter 11 expenses.
Management at the Eagan, Minn.-based airline, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month, said the results bolster the case for a dramatic restructuring aimed at restoring Northwest's competitiveness in an era of expensive fuel and low-cost rivals.
Northwest, the nation's fourth-biggest carrier by passenger traffic, said late Thursday it lost $475 million, or $5.45 a share in the latest quarter, vs. $46 million, or 54 cents a share, a year before.
Results included $82 million in pension curtailment charges and $159 million in reorganization items related to the bankruptcy. Without those items, Northwest lost $234 million, or $2.69 a share.Revenue rose 10.7% year over year to $3.38 billion from $3.05 billion. "Our third quarter results clearly demonstrate the need for Northwest to restructure expeditiously," said Doug Steenland, the company's CEO. "We now are focusing on achieving a competitive labor and nonlabor cost structure, strengthening our balance sheet, achieving market-level lease rates on our aircraft, developing a more efficient business model and returning to profitability." Northwest's labor costs are high relative to competitors, some of whom have already used the bankruptcy process to slash wages and benefits and terminate pension obligations. Northwest wants the court overseeing its bankruptcy to terminate its union contracts if employees don't agree to significant concessions. The airline's fuel expense rose 47.6% to $893 million in the latest quarter from a year before. Hurricane Katrina knocked out refineries around the Gulf Coast, causing prices for highly refined jet kerosene to soar in the last month of the quarter from already high levels.

Bureau . Schofield Hall 201 . Eau Claire, WI 54702
phone: (715) 836-4741
fax: (715) 836-2900
EAU CLAIRE — The Wisconsin Campus Compact recently awarded a Presidential Civic Leadership Award to University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire senior Mark Lee.
The award is given to individuals who WiCC officials feel have demonstrated commitment to furthering the civic purpose of education in postsecondary settings. WiCC is a coalition of 31 college and university presidents in Wisconsin who support service-learning and civic engagement partnerships between campuses and the communities they serve.
A business administration major from Appleton, Lee received his award with others being honored at the State Superintendent's PK-16 Institute on Service-Learning and Civic Engagement held last month in Madison.
Earlier this fall, Lee also was a nominee for the prestigious Howard Swearer Student Humanitarian Award, given to several students annually by the national Campus Compact.
One of Lee's recognized accomplishments was the formation of a volunteer service organization, Students Building Communities Through Service. Along with two of his UW-Eau Claire friends and two students from other UW-System schools, Lee took the fall semester of 2003 off to help underprivileged people in the southern United States and Mexico.
"We started SBCTS because we had a goal to do service work," said Lee. "An organization like SBCTS seemed like the best way to accomplish this goal."
Lee, Luke Peters, Christopher Wilcox, Mike Van Handel and Adam Slota used their mental, physical and spiritual resources and talents to make a difference in Natchitoches and New Orleans, Louisiana, and in Mexico in the village of Yuchutti in the Tlaxiaco region of the state of Oaxaca. A quote from Mark Twain, said Lee, provided continuing inspiration during his travels: "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by [staying] in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
In Natchitoches, Lee and friends worked construction to renovate homes in the rougher neighborhoods of the area. In New Orleans, they worked with Cory Howat at Boy's Hope Girl's Hope, a home for children who are capable of academic success but whose families are economically challenged. They renovated an old recreational room, played with children and performed many odd jobs. While in New Orleans they also worked at Good Shepherd School in the downtown area, teaching gym classes, playing with the children (K-3) and doing maintenance jobs.
In Mexico, they worked with Padre John Reuter, a pastor for 22 different communities, to construct a new church for the community.
Lee also has traveled to participate in several other service projects, including Young Neighbors in Action, Camp S.W.E.A.T., and a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. He and Peters volunteered at Ground Zero after 9-11, and Lee also has helped locally with Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army.
"It is a very powerful and rewarding experience any time you are removed from your comfort zone and exposed to another way of life," said Lee. "It's important for us to realize that the whole world doesn't live like we do."
Lee and Peters are researching the possibility of traveling to Nigeria over the upcoming winter break to work with a hospital, sorting and distributing medical supplies.
"SBCTS has enabled me to learn about myself and also our global society in general," said Lee. "These are experiences that all students could use to become global citizens and are readily available through organizations like SBCTS."

May 5, 2005
Ellie Kennedy's family thinks there may be something exciting written in her stars. The Tempe girl turns 5 today — on 05/05/05.
In numerology, repetition of the number five can mean diversity and signal the opportunity to meet new people and try new things.
That's perfect for the little girl with white blond hair who speaks some Spanish. Diversity will be the theme of her birthday, which she is thrilled to spend celebrating Cinco de Mayo — a holiday that commemorates Mexico's victory over the French in an 1862 battle and today mixes American and Mexican cultures.
She prepared small sombreros, cherry-flavored chili pepper candies and wooden mariachi key chains on Wednesday, in anticipation of a block party her parents got permission to host on Saturday in their east Tempe neighborhood, near McClintock Drive and Baseline Road.
In the afternoon, kids will party in the street with a brightly- colored bounce house, cake and presents. By 4:30 p.m. and into the evening, at least 70 adults will continue the party with karaoke and a Mexican buffet.
The family is well known for hosting block parties.
Mark and Carrie Kennedy, co-presidents of Hudson Elementary School's Parent-Teacher Organization, had a patio built in their front yard, rather than in back. Their goal, they said, is to bring their neighborhood together and celebrate each other — rather than hiding behind block walls.
"Let's go back to neighborhood meetings," Mark Kennedy said. "We're teaching our kids to appreciate others and have people over, make friends."
Ellie's is not the only unusual birthday in the family. Her grandmother, Pat Tuma, who just arrived with grandfather Ben Tuma from Minnesota, will turn 76 on 06/06/06.
Elder sister Abby will turn 8 on May 11 — a date that places her birthday often on Mother's Day, the holiday on which she was born. Another greatgrandfather was born on Sept. 11, 1900. Several birthdays, including Oct. 19 and Sept. 5, are shared among several family members.
Abby said she's excited to party with her neighbors — a mix who bring many cultures to the community, where 23 languages are spoken in school.
"Some of the people I know are from different countries," Abby said. "I know someone who is Dutch, one of my friends is Chinese. I have a Russian friend. Mexican. Japanese . . ."

My husband and I finally watched Food Inc. last night. The subject matter wasn't new to me—I've read Michael Pollan's books and Diet for a Small Planet was one of the first cookbooks I bought as a young woman living on my own.
But there is something about seeing the problems rather than just reading about them that smacks you in the face. And turns your stomach.
Problems like: the way we're raising chickens so that they're really not chickens anymore. They're just meat-creatures packed together in dark, feces-covered hen houses. It's almost unfair to call those buildings hen houses—a term that's much too charming to describe the unnatural conditions under which industrial chickens spend their seven weeks of life. They can't even walk because their bones can't support the weight that packs on (at an alarmingly fast rate), all so that we can buy a frozen sack of boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the grocery store—breasts that are often the size of frisbees.
But, hey, it's cheap and convenient, right? Isn't that what we're all about in America? In the past 75 years, we've gone from dedicating 25 percent of our income to what we eat to under 10 percent. More on those stats and how we compare with the rest of the world here.
I think some people dismiss what has happened to our food
industry because, gee whiz, we're just talking about plants and animals
here. Chickens schmickens.
But, as Food Inc. illustrates with its inclusion of a woman named Barbara Kowalcyk, we're all part of the same system. Kowalcyk's 2-year-old son died after eating a hamburger tainted with E.coli. He went from beautiful and healthy to dead in 12 days. Kowalcyk now advocates for food safety on a national level.
I don't want to minimize the struggle many families face to pay for food. It would be lovely if we could all afford to shop exclusively at organic markets. My husband and I have both worked with kids in poverty and we know that for millions of people, it's the fast-food dollar menu or nothing else.
As is stated in Food Inc., we need changes made on a larger scale so that a bag of carrots costs less than a bag of chips.
I can't summarize all the points made in Food Inc. in a blog post, but I can offer links to local sources that will help us make more ethical and safe food choices. Please feel free to add links to this list in the comments section.
Places to buy organic and locally grown food:
Main Market food co-op: 44 W. Main Ave., downtown Spokane. Sells organic and locally-grown food, educates and connects consumers with food producers.

Spokavore: a guide to foods produced in the Spokane area.

The Cardio Pyramiding Workout
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 05-30-2014 - 8:22am
Here's another workout you'll probably really like, Karla. I should emphasize that both of these workouts are super intense (just for you, Karla!) and I can give different levels if others want. I'd hate for someone to try them and get injured!
The basic idea for the cardio: There are three exercises. Ex 1 is super intense, ex 2 less so, ex 3 the "easiest' but not anything close to easy. Do ex 1 for 30 seconds, recover as long as you need but the ideal would be to keep it under 15 seconds. Go to ex. 2 for 1 minute, recover but keet it under 30 secs. Do ex. 3 for 2 minutes, recover for less than 1 minute. Back to ex 2 for 1 min, recover. Then all out on ex 1 for 30 secs.
Lifting in between 1 1/2 reps. I'll explain this w/ a bicep curl but follow the same procedure for all. Lift the weight up, bring it half way down. Bring it up from there and then all the way down. That's one rep. For all of them do 10 reps, rest, repeat.
Ex. 1: With a step or bosu, step up w/ right foot then left on top, back w/ right foot.then left down (it's a basic right in step) as fast as you can/or jump up both feet at once, step down. Do this w/ your right foot leading
Ex 2: charleston kick on step, bosu or floor. This video at 2 minutes. BUT, take up the intensity. Jump onto the leg on the step, touch the step and get that back leg way back. Do right leg.
Ex 3. run around the room, jump over anything in the way.
Ex 2, do left left
ex 1, do left leg
Liftin: push ups 1 1/2 reps. Come down to ground, go halfway up, come back to ground, then all the way up to plank
Ex 1, toe taps, use step or bosu, not soccer ball FAST
Ex 2, This is harder to describe. You want to squat down, drop onto your hands like a spider position, walk hands out so you're in a plank, walk back to that spider position then push hard w/ your hands so you're back up on your feet. If you want an added challenge, when out in plank walk your hands out wide and then back in, or jump them out and back in.
Ex 3: Use step or BOSU. This video is pretty lame in intensity. When your leg is on the BOSU, try to keep that body low so you're in a lunge position, jump on each knee if you can, really drive that knee up hard like kickboxing. When you switch feet, jump up as high as you can. OR you can hold the knee on one side for 1 min and then the other side for 1 min. Don't move your upper body, just get that leg moving.
Ex, 2, ex 1 the same
Lifting: back rows, hand weights, 10 reps, repeat
Ex 1: burpees (no push ups)
Ex 2: side shuffle w/ 4 jacks, side shuffle back, 4 jacks. Extra challenge, touch the floor after the side shuffle. You can do air jacks for a bigger challenge.
Air jacks:
Ex 3 Heisman
Pyramid down
LiftL bicep curls
Ex 1. mountain climbers
Ex 2 high knees
Ex 3: walking lunges w/ shoulder press (do 8 shoulder presses w/ walking lunges, just hold the weights and continue w/ lunges but no shoulder press until you feel like you can add the shoulders back in to do 8, etc.)
Lifiing: tricep skull crushers/french press, lie on step. I do abs here, legs out and scissor feet out and in/up and down as arms come down. Really be careful that your lower back doesn't arch on this one if you add abs.
If you did abs w/ triceps, finish w/ super man on BOSU. If you didn't do abs w/ triceps, do bicycle on BOSU then superman.
This takes about an hour, depending on how much rest time you take.
|Tue, 06-03-2014 - 3:04pm
Yes, this was done for Karla who's been working out for a long time. It is pretty intense and you need to be familiar with equipment. Keep the lifting exercises but just do them regularly, same 10 reps, rest, 10 reps. For a shorter workout, try these in place of the cardio exercises above: This is assuming you have no injuries or limitations
Circuit 1 cardio
30 seconds run w/ high knees; 30 sec rest; 60 seconds front kicks, alternating legs; 60 secs rest; 2 mins run around the room or power walk; 2 min rest; 60 secs alt front kicks; 60 sec rest; 30 secs of high knees
lift 1
Circuit 2 cardio:
30 seconds: squat (jump optional); rest; 60 secs: jump rope (w or w/out ropes); rest; 2 mins jumping jacks; rest; 60 secs jump rope; rest; 30 secs squat (jump option)
Lift 2
Cardio 3:
30 secs: mountain climbers; rest; 60 secs shuffle; rest; 2 mins walking lunges; rest; 60 secs shuffle; rest; 30 sec mountain climber
mountain clmbers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyeZM-_VnRc&feature=kp
shuffle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQEAiSCzw_w
walking lunges (w/ or w/out weights) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYWhkctnP2o
Start with those and see how it goes!
|Tue, 06-03-2014 - 1:21pm
I have been at my gym for almost a year now and I still don't know what half the exercises in this workout are.It looks very difficult so I am going to assume this is for someone who is advanced.
Do you have a beginner version? I am always perusing for new workout ideas. :-)
|Fri, 05-30-2014 - 2:44pm
Let me know if anything doesn't make sense. It's all clear in my head but doesn't always translate out in words!

Added Oct 28, 2012

Ljubljana, Slovenia
My project no. 4, chapter clothes (I am trying to make some toys too). So, as soon as I saw trousers from Burda 10/2012 I though I would look skinny as the model on the picture (of course it doesnt work that way, but I do hope, always ). I bough some black semi winter material, which has some strech in it, but its nothing similar to yersey. So, I take pattern in my regular trousers size, but it turned out to be too small. I dont measure pattern as each time I do it it turned out to be too small, but end product is usually too big. This time, it was not the case. Around the waist it was just perfect, but the rest was far too small. I tried with inserting few cm fabric as seen in the picture, …hmmm… for now, its ok…
Next pair of trousers will be better. And of course, if anyone is reading this and have some tips, comments or advices ..pls. feel free… I will be happy. I want to improve my skills which are not that good at all.
Oct 29, 2012, 12.40 PMby freaky-philomeen
dear byVA, I know, if we want to hurry through to a new garment, we don't want to hear it but what really improved my trousers-making 1000 times was making a muslin.
I was so sick of never finding fitting trousers so I took a jeans-pattern with a front fly, (which alone is not easy the first times…), added inset pockets, measured my personal-fit-waistband, tried out button-holes, tried top-stitching and took notes of all my steps. I always hesitated to do the extra work and the muslin trousers is not supposed to be worn on the street ;))) …but it really paid of.
Oct 30, 2012, 07.58 AMby byVA
Thank you, thats one really good advice. I just happened to have same spare fabric, which is not to be worn even inside my home (that would be the day for my bf: me, being dressed in big pink flowers ;) ).
btw, your green cat is fantastic, I will try it too :)
Have a nice day….
They look good to me but if you feel then tight why don.t.you.add a contrasting stripe down the outside leg?? i.ve seen trousers with a white stripe.and they looked great x
Oct 30, 2012, 08.02 AMby byVA
ah, smart… The posted picture is with adjustment between legs, now, I think "your way" would give a better final result. Thanks for the advice :)
Have a nice day..

"Don't talk like one of them. You're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke, dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these...these civilized people, they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve."In essence Humans Are Bastards is the reverse of Rousseau Was Right — the natural proclivity of humanity is towards selfishness, apathy and violence. Only a select few people manage to rise above their base nature to become something better, but the kernel of darkness is still inborn. When Humans Are Bastards is in effect, even your "heroes" don't have clean hands, so most conflict is gray against black, with some gray against gray or black against black on for variety. Humans being bastards doesn't preclude them being pragmatic about it, so if there isn't a profit to be made by making the world a hellhole, they might not, but if conditions are tolerable it certainly isn't due to any inborn altruism on the part of those in charge. Appeals to people's better nature will not work. Don't expect to see anyone shame the mob — idealism has no place here. Any successful do-gooders will be very, very cynical and paranoid, as the genuinely hopeful will inevitably become embittered if they're not killed outright. Very, very far down the cynical side of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, and all but guarantees a Crapsack World if this is true of the majority of the population. Comedies are black. Dramas are depressing. Beware of Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy. Compare Crapsack World, Black and Gray Morality. Hobbes Was Right often makes an appearance, proposing that if the bastardy of humanity is a constant, the most effective form of government is tyranny. On the other hand, the exact opposite stance may be taken as well: if humans are inherently bastards, then it's no use giving any of them power, because they will all inevitably abuse it. Contrast Rousseau Was Right and White and Gray Morality. See also Humans Are Flawed, which takes the middle road by acknowledging humanity's shortcomings while not underplaying their potential capacity for virtue. For settings where only humans are bastards, while other sapient species are morally superior, see Humans Are the Real Monsters.

Overcoming Objections is the Name of the Mary Kay Game
So the real deal with Mary Kay is recruiting and frontloading . A small amount of product sales occur from time to time. But the real money is made in recruiting, and directors are usually pretty up front about it. Well, it's hard to conceal that it's all about recruiting when all the Mary Kay events are focused on recruiting new marks!
The below scripts come from a director handout that was meant to be made into flashcards. Yup. Flashcards. So you can quiz yourself on the right answer to any objection. Check them out…
Objection: I don't have time.
If I could teach you how to earn an extra $100 per week — that's $400 per month — working 3 hours a week, and eventually double that to $200 per week, could you find 3 hours?
Objection: I don't have any money. If you think she's just saying she doesn't have any money (but she does)…ask her…
Do you have a credit card? Do you know somebody who loves you with a credit card?
If I could show you how to earn your $100 back in 2 weeks, could you find someone to help get you started?
If you could find the $100, is this something you would like to do?
Objection: I'm not the sales type.
Would you believe that probably 90% of the women who start Mary Kay are not the sales type? (yes)
If I could teach you how to show this product and let it sell itself, without being pushy, would you feel better about doing it?
Do you believe that women love to take care of their skin with great products? (yes) If I could teach you how to help them do that, rather than trying to SELL them something, would you feel better about doing it?
What was the first thing I said before I showed the sets at your class? (You're not under any obligation to buy anything) Did you feel that I was being pushy? Did you know I sold $___ at that class? Women love to shop!
Objection: I don't know anybody.
Do you know one person who might be a practice face for you? (yes) If I can teach you how to turn that one person into all the other faces you will ever need, would you be willing to learn?
Do you know that many of our most successful consultants didn't start with people they knew? If I can teach you how to meet people, would you be excited about a Mary Kay business?
Objection: I don't wear makeup.
Do you feel skin care is important? (yes — if she says no, you probably don't want to recruit her) Would you be surprised to learn that the majority of products we sell are skin care and body care, rather than makeup?
Would you be surprised to learn that many of our most successful consultants and Directors don't really wear a lot of makeup — but they are committed to good skin care?
Would you be surprised to learn that the majority of your Mary Kay income will come from women buying skin care and body care, rather than makeup?
Objection: I don't want to talk to strangers.
If I could teach you how to build your business without talking to strangers, would you be willing to learn?
If I could teach you how to build your business without talking to strangers, would you be excited to give it a try?
Objection: I need to talk to my husband.
What will your husband say?
If she says, "He'll do whatever I want" … So when he says that, will you be ready to start, or do you have more questions for me? Great! When will you be able to talk to your husband? (Set a time to call her back.)
If she says, "He won't want me to do it" … May I make a suggestion? (sure) Explain to your husband that you want to purchase a starter kit so that you can beginning buying your products wholesale. Then tell him that you're also interested in the business opportunity — so after you order your kit, you'd like him to come to Orientation with you and get his opinion of the business as well. Then when you come to orientation with my Director, both you and he can hear a lot more and decide how much you want to do with the business end of it. Do you think he will agree to that?
(yes) Would you agree with me that we can pretty much get our husbands to let us do whatever we want, as long as they know it is important to us? Just let him know it is important to you!
Objection: I don't think I'd like doing Mary Kay.
Let me ask you a question. If you WERE going to do something like Mary Kay, what would be the reason?
Would it be to get you out of the house?
Would it be for money? Would it be something that is just yours? (wait for her answer) If I promise to hold your hand and teach you how to do this, what would keep you from getting started today? (then she'll give you the REAL objection)
Objection: I'm too shy.
Would it surprise you to know that some of our most successful consultants were extremely shy when they started their businesses, and they have done very well?
Would you like to be less shy? Can you see the value of doing something that is fun and might bring you out of your shyness AND earn you money in the process?
Would it surprise you to know that most shy people are very sincere, and sincerity is one of the best qualities a Mary Kay consultant can possess?
Objection:I know someone who did Mary Kay once and she didn't make any money/failed/etc.
Would you agree with me that there is probably someone in every single occupation on earth that hasn't done well while other did?
(yes) So what makes you think you wouldn't do well?
Would you agree that her lack of success might have more to do with her personal situation than with Mary Kay?
Let me ask you a question. Have you ever worked with someone at your job who failed or quit? (yes) Did her quitting keep YOU from being successfully at YOUR job? (no) The same is true of Mary Kay. We each have our own opportunity. It is not dependent on others.
If they give you a bunch of objections and you can't get them to say yes or no…
(In a soft voice) May I ask you a question? (yes) Do you think you're just scared? (yes) Well, what's the very worst thing that could happen to you? (wait for her response, then say)
Do you want to know what I think? (yes) I think the very worst thing that could happen to you is you save 50% on your products for the rest of your life — does that scare you?
I totally understand. I felt that way myself, but here's what I've found. We're all scared when we start something new, but what's the worst thing that could happen to you (wait for her answer) And what's the best thing that could happen to you?
So if you're trying to turn down the Mary Kay lady and she has a comeback for everything you say…. just tell her "I don't want to." There is no way to overcome that objection. No excuse can do away with the fact that you don't WANT to. Just keep repeating it.
P.S. I would love to see how someone would "teach" me how to get Mary Kay customers without talking to strangers. Impossible!

I am sad they dont have a rejection card for that "negative website" yet.
Memo to me: Next time I get stalked for Mary Kay, tell them "I don't think skin care is important" just to see what they say
MLM Radar Detector
If they give you a bunch of objections and you can't get them to say yes or no…
Did you notice that the automatic presumption is "you're just scared." And the answer is to "won't say yes or no" is to behave like a schoolroom bully: scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat, I dare you to do it!
The truth is that the person who REALLY is scared is the Mary Kay Recruiter. She's scared you will slip away from you if she says, "That's OK – just take it home, and take a week or so to check us out, and I'll call to find out what you're thinking." She's scared because she knows the real statistics, and that most of the time your "maybe" will become a "no" unless she can goad you into signing Right Now!
What that tactic proves is that Mary Kay wants to recruit impulse buyers. It's all about Leap Before You Look. If they can get you to sign up on impulse now, they can get you to buy inventory at 9:00 pm on the 30th of June when they're Dialing for Dollars. But this is a lot more expensive than convincing you to grab an (overpriced) ice-cold Coke from the cooler next to the checkout stand.
Generally, the REAL reason for "won't say yes or no" is that I want to decide whether this is really a good idea. I want to get away from the clapping and ribbons, and look over your proposal in the fresh light of day while sitting at my kitchen table with a cup of coffee. I want the time to think about what you said, to evaluate the materials you've shown me, and to remember the important questions I need answered before I sign.
I won't choose a car on impulse when the salesman says, "you're just sacred." I won't choose an insurance company on impulse. And if I'm in Vegas and someone I've only known for 2 days says, "Let's get married!" I won't do that on impulse either. Because when I wake up the next day I'm going to have to live with the results.
The ONLY objection that can't be overcome by anyone is "NO".
Don't say another word.
Here's another way an IBC/DIRECTOR hounds prospects who say NO to the MK opportunity!
Does anyone really believe an IBC could keep the follow promise they make in this Recruiting Interview Followup Note?
Thank you very much for allowing me to share our incredible opportunity with you.
I appreciate you sharing your feelings about becoming a part of our incredible company, Mary Kay! As things in life do often change, you may decide at some date in the future to become a part of this company.
When you make that decision……
As soon as you make that decision….
No matter how long into the future…..
Would you please call me immediately?
As we discussed, I will stay in touch with you quarterly about this exciting career.
Please call me if you have any questions or need more information.
I look forward to talking with you again.
The following quote is by far the best thing I've heard regarding multi-level marketing ploys: Lazy Gardens (of PinkTruth fame) has offered for your consideration a simple phrase that speaks volumes of truth I dare anyone to argue its wisdom.
"Any sales position that suggests you convert your customers into your competitors is admitting that there is no money to be had selling the product." ~Lazy Gardens
Lily Chipper
I have never been a fan of this Mary Kay.Especially now that i have read this article.Not that ive heard any negative comments about it though.
These lines are too familiar. Not the sales type and too shy were used to recruit me before I found Pink Truth. I'm so glad I found this before going into debt for inventory.

The Top 50 Rabbis in America
In their spare time, three good friends got together over a labor of love: ranking the country's rabbis.
April 2, 2007 issue - Last fall, Sony Pictures CEO and Chairman Michael Lynton got together with his good friends and fellow power brokers Gary Ginsberg, of Newscorp., and Jay Sanderson, of JTN Productions and started working on a list of the 50 most influential rabbis in America. They had a scoring system: Are the rabbis known nationally/internationally? (20 points.) Do they have a media presence? (10 points.) Are they leaders within their communities? (10 points.) Are they considered leaders in Judaism or their movements? (10 points.) Size of their constituency? (10 points.) Do they have political/social influence? (20 points.) Have they made an impact on Judaism in their career? (10 points.) Have they made a "greater" impact? (10 points.) This system, though helpful, is far from scientific; the men revised and rejiggered their list for months, and all three concede that the result is subjective. Here, then, published for the first time, the top 50 rabbis in America:
Founded in 1875, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion is North America's first institution of higher Jewish education and the academic, spiritual, and professional leadership development center of Reform Judaism. HUC-JIR educates men and women for service to North American and world Jewry as rabbis, cantors, educators, and nonprofit management professionals, and offers graduate programs to scholars and clergy of all faiths. With centers of learning in Cincinnati, Jerusalem, Los Angeles, and New York, HUC-JIR's scholarly resources comprise the renowned Klau Library, the American Jewish Archives, research institutes and centers, and academic publications. In partnership with the Union for Reform Judaism and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, HUC-JIR sustains the Reform Movement's congregations and professional and lay leaders. HUC-JIR's campuses invite the community to cultural and educational programs illuminating Jewish heritage and fostering interfaith and multiethnic understanding. www.huc.edu

It's really pretty. Just a tip for your singing. It sounds like you're a little undecided between your head voice and your chest voice, like you're singing somewhere in between. Try using your head voice, and sing from your diagram. It will give your notes a stronger sound and keep it less pitchy.
You've got talent. Keep making music. :)

five centuries ago, an Italian artist and jobbing inventor, somewhat
down on his luck, made a 500-mile journey on foot and mule across
the Alps to a small town by the river Loire. He was accompanied,
apart from the mule, by two faithful followers and three paintings.
When he died in France in 1519, the artist left the paintings to
one of his Italian followers. All three of the works went on to
become famous; one of them went on to become the most celebrated
painting of all time. The artist was Leonardo da Vinci.
His death,
and burial, in France, and his final job as court artist, philosopher
and architect to King François I, meant that Leonardo was,
for many years, regarded by the French as an honorary Frenchman.
Other than the presence in the Louvre of two of the three paintings
that crossed the Alps by mule – including, of course, the Mona
Lisa – Leonardo's French connection is now relatively little
remembered outside France. Over the next few years, starting this
spring, the Château du Clos Lucé in the beautiful town
of Amboise on the banks of the Loire, plans to change all that.
The building where Leonardo lived for three years before his death
has already reinvented itself as a Da Vinci museum and visitor centre.
It now has ambitious plans to become the world's first "intellectual
and cultural theme park".
The aim is
to encourage visitors, from tourists, to school groups, to academics,
to unlock the "real" Da Vinci code: the mystery of his
dazzling, but exasperating, versatility. Leonardo was not only a
painter, perhaps the greatest painter of all time. He was a poet,
musician, philosopher, engineer, architect, scientist, mathematician,
anatomist, inventor, architect and botanist. He attempted much but
completed relatively little. He was a universal genius to some;
a brilliant and frustrating dilettante to others. An exhibition
on Leonardo's French connections this summer will include a recreation,
for the first time in nearly 500 years, of one of Leonardo's most
astounding inventions. During his stay at Clos Lucé, he designed
a life-size, clockwork robot lion that could walk and move its head
and open its chest to reveal bunches of fleur de lys (lilies), the
French royal symbol.

Cloudy House : An Extension House by LASC Studio
As an extension of a classic house from 1930's, Cloudy House looks very modern. Designed by LASC studio, we love the dark horizontal exterior that covers this house and extends into a beautiful patio. Inside, you'll find minimalist, white, and cozy interior décor.
Breathtaking Collector's Loft by UNStudio
Ben van Berkel, head of the Amsterdam-established architectural corporation UNStudio, is recognized for his awesomely swoopy patterns of shiny exterior that never appear to come to an end same is the case with Collector's Loft.The Dutch UNStudio in recent times finished this interior decor of a current loft situated in Greenwich Village in Manhattan designed for a reserved art projection. The broad place is exemplified by flowing walls which in conjunction with expressed ceilings generate mixed setting for exhibition and living spaces. The white hue is simply expressed perfectly which appears so glossy.
A Feng Shui Cube Brings Closeness To An Attic
There was a period when Liu Ming, an educator of Chinese customary medicine and feng shui in Oakland, Calif., did a small number of prostrations a day being portion of his exercise of Tibetan Buddhism — complete prostrations, that is, wherein you start footing and finish with your skull on the ground. That wouldn't play part in recent times, for the reason Mr. Liu's consideration region is above an eight-foot cube in his attic. To shift the contemplation zone, which as well plays part like a teashop, Mr. Liu needs to droop or move slowly. That's cool to him: In a customary Japanese teashop, the top limits are very much low you need to creep in, he states; you were intended to sense modest.
Prominent interior of Bank of Moscow's Offices
The interior decor of Bank of Moscow's workplaces in the mid of Moscow's Kuznetsky maintains the building's grand chronological bones and also goes with the modified embellishments to them. The place of work — one of the Bank's lots of workplaces — engages 7,000 square meters on the third bottom and in the formerly unemployed mansard (loft) place. Moscow-established designer, Alexey Kuzmin, served by architectural workplace Sretenka for this project, utilized the space's crucial attribute, the huge, hexagon-fashioned central hall, being the crucial position. He positioned the client jobs purposes in this imposing, open place to stir up and maintain the graceful sense of the whole structure. Kuzmin positioned the workers offices on the arms or upper circles neighboring the client region. The dividing walls in the workplace region are made of glass including curves (made of wood) surrounding them.
Mini House on Craven Road in Toronto
A matchless mini house by arquitectónico studio LineBox places on Craven Road in Toronto, Canada. Its title gives away nearly the whole thing concerning it.
