Ortiz homers as Red Sox rout Blue Jays

TORONTO (AP) — David Ortiz homered, Jake Peavy pitched seven strong innings and the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-1 on Friday night.
Will Middlebrooks returned from the disabled list with two hits and two RBIs as Boston bounced back from an error-filled loss to the Yankees on Thursday. The Red Sox held a pregame meeting after making five errors in their 14-5 home defeat against New York.
"No one is proud of the way things unfolded (Thursday) night," manager John Farrell said. "That was an ugly game."
The Red Sox set season highs with 16 hits and eight extra-base hits as they roughed up left-hander Mark Buehrle (4-1), who was trying to become the first Blue Jays pitcher to start a season with five straight wins.
Buehrle came in with a major league-best 0.64 ERA, but allowed 12 hits and seven runs, six earned, in 5 1-3 innings. He gave up more earned runs in Boston's four-run second than he had in his four previous starts combined (two). He walked three and struck out none.
Juan Francisco homered for the Blue Jays, who have lost three straight for the first time this season.
Peavy (1-0) allowed one run and five hits to win for the first time in five starts. He walked two and struck out seven.
Chris Capuano struck out the side in the eighth and Andrew Miller finished for Boston.
Red Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski opened the scoring in the second with a sacrifice fly off Buehrle, his former Chicago White Sox batterymate. Middlebrooks followed with an RBI single, the first hit against Buehrle in 24 at-bats this season with a runner in scoring position. Dustin Pedroia capped the rally with a two-run single.
Ortiz made it 5-0 with a leadoff homer in the fifth, the 50th of his career against Toronto. Ortiz has 33 career homers at Rogers Centre, the second-highest total by an opposing player. Alex Rodriguez leads with 36.
Pierzynski singled to begin the sixth and scored on a double by Middlebrooks, who was thrown out at third. Buehrle left after walking Jackie Bradley Jr. and was replaced by Neil Wagner, who later issued a bases-loaded walk to Mike Napoli.
Peavy, meanwhile, breezed through the first five innings, allowing just two hits. Jose Bautista hit a one-out double in the fourth and Edwin Encarnacion walked, but Bautista unwisely tried to steal third and was thrown out by Pierzynski.
Jose Reyes hit a one-out double in the sixth and went to third on Melky Cabrera's single, but Peavy struck out Bautista looking, then fanned Encarnacion to escape the inning.
Francisco ended Peavy's shutout bid in the seventh with a towering homer into the fourth deck, his first.
NOTES: Blue Jays RHP Casey Janssen (back) is still struggling to overcome soreness, according to manager John Gibbons. "I don't see him back here in the next couple of weeks, to be honest with you," Gibbons said. ... Boston's loss to the Yankees on Thursday was the only game since 1914 in which a team had five runs, four hits and five errors. ... Red Sox RHP Clay Buchholz (0-2) faces Blue Jays RHP Brandon Morrow (1-1) on Saturday afternoon.

An antidepressant is a psychiatric medication used to alleviate mood disorders, such as major depression and dysthymia and anxiety disorders such as social anxiety disorder. According to Gelder, Mayou &*Geddes (2005) people with a depressive illness will experience a therapeutic effect to their mood; however, this will not be experienced in healthy individuals. Drugs including the monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), tetracyclic antidepressants (TeCAs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are most commonly associated with the term. These medications are among those most commonly prescribed by psychiatrists and other physicians, and their effectiveness and adverse effects are the subject of many studies and competing claims.
Most typical antidepressants have a delayed onset of action (2–6 weeks) and are usually administered for anywhere from months to years. Despite the name, antidepressants are often used to treat other conditions, such as anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, eating disorders, chronic pain, and some hormone-mediated disorders such as dysmenorrhea. Some of these uses are FDA-approved and some are off-label. Alone or together with anticonvulsants (e.g., carbamazepine or valproate), these medications can be used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and substance abuse by addressing underlying depression. Also, antidepressants have been used sometimes to treat snoring and migraines.

Pardon me sir, but haven't we met before?
The game's new (and returning) EP, Stephen D'Angelo, posted a blog last week announcing his return to the command chair, along with the news that former EP, Daniel Stahl, has been reassigned to another top-secret project. Many of us had already heard about the existence of another game in development at Cryptic, so it's not so much of a surprise to hear of personnel shifts in this regard.
Many players have also been around long enough to recall that a couple of years ago, Stahl left Cryptic for a new gig at Zynga. At that time, D'Angelo came in to head up the team while a replacement could be found. Somewhat surprisingly (or maybe unsurprisingly), Stahl decided to return to Cryptic after only a couple of months. While he didn't take back the EP position right away, within the next few months he was handed back the STO reins, and D'Angelo took a step back.
It should come as a comfort to many STO players that D'Angelo brings that pre-existing experience with him to his new role. He's a bona fide Trekkie and seems to have an appreciation for the stories that make Star Trek resonate with its fandom. Shortly after his announcement, D'Angelo posted another dev blog that touches on many of the changes that are coming with Season 8.5, which was also given a definitive release date of January 30th, 2014.
Anniversary Featured Episode to showcase voice of Star Trek actor
The release of Season 8.5 will also include the publication of STO's Fourth Anniversary Featured Episode. A couple of weeks ago, STO Community Manager Brandon Felczer tweeted that he was on his way to Los Angeles on matters related to the game. Several hours later he tweeted a photo of an empty sound studio booth and sound board. So it didn't come as a complete surprise when D'Angelo stated in his blog that the new FE will spotlight the voice of a Star Trek actor whose character has not yet been seen in the game.
I have to admit I've been caught up in the guessing game as to who the actor might be. I think it's fairly safe to assume the actor is likely from the television series Star Trek: Voyager, primarily because the most recent tales in the game are now staged on fringes of the Delta Quadrant and we just received an announcement that the Undine have been given a brush-up. But as to which actor it might be, I couldn't readily guess. To be honest, any of them would be a fantastic addition to the game!
I would certainly love to hear Robert Picardo bring the EMH online again. And wouldn't it be great to hear Jeri Ryan's Seven of Nine or Tim Russ' Tuvok scold players for their cavalier tactical maneuvers? I'd also be just tickled to hear Garrett Wang breathe life into a Captain Harry Kim! Heck, I'd be thrilled to hear Robert Duncan McNeil or Roxann Dawson or Robert Beltran reprise Tom Paris or B'Ellana Torres or Chakotay. I couldn't dare hope to hear Admiral Janeway voiced by Kate Mulgrew because I think she's been rather busy with her stage career as well as her appearances on Orange is the New Black.
It's also my luck that I'll be completely wrong about everything and it will be someone few of us have thought of yet. (Ooh, what if it's John DeLancie!? Q Jr. is usually involved in the anniversary event, so what if Dad is forced to come calling!?) OK, I'll stop, but isn't it fun to theorize?
New quick swap feature
One of the new features to come with Season 8.5 is the new "quick swap" feature that will allow players to rapidly change out their ships while in sector space or public areas. The new tool also allows players to quickly swap out weapons and consoles on ships as well as on the player's character and his NPC bridge officers.
The new implement for weapon/device swapping for ships, characters, and BOffs is available for testing on Tribble right now. There are still a few bugs that need to be worked out -- namely, the annoying bug that has been around for a year that doesn't place a device or weapon into the same slot on the skill bar that the previous device inhabited. But if that bug finally gets resolved, I can see where the new quick swap feature can be useful. At the time this column was written, the new ship swap feature was not yet available for testing.
Essentially, the quick swap tool allows a player to click on a weapon or device on the character screen, and then a drop-down menu of the available weapons/devices residing in the player's inventory pops up, allowing the player to select the item to be switched out. The downside to this is the fact that all potential weapons, even vendor trash that sits in the inventory, become selectable items. In some cases, it might just be easier to open the inventory and right-click and equip the item directly from the inventory rather than scroll through a list of items that will never be equipped. Also, items in the player's bank will be able to be accessed in this fashion only while a player interacts with his bank.
I have to admit that I am looking forward to trying out the new ship swapping tool. D'Angelo's post stated that "each of [a player's] starships can have multiple pre-made build-outs saved, and [a player] will be able to switch between them quickly and easily." If this ends up being as functional as I think it could be, I'll be really happy about it. But what made me even happier was D'Angelo's statement that read, "In addition, we're going to be increasing the current ship slot limit." I'm not exactly sure, but I think I heard a chorus of seraphim in the distance!
We're expecting the STO team to reveal the secret identity of the Star Trek actor involved in the upcoming Anniversary FE sometime this week! I'm sure more information about Season 8.5 will also be released as well. Until next week, live long and prosper!

Speed Vs. Cost
A version of this article appears in the August 25 issue of Aviation Week & Space Technology.
Proving affordability is the biggest challenge facing Bell Helicopter as well as the Sikorsky/Boeing team as they build and fly advanced rotorcraft demonstrators aimed at the U.S. Army's requirement to replace its Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters from the mid-2030s.
The two teams have been chosen to fly high-speed rotorcraft in 2017 under the Joint Multi-Role (JMR) technology demonstration, a precursor to the planned Future Vertical Lift Medium (FVL-M) program to replace first the utility UH-60s and later the Army's Boeing AH-64 Apache attack helicopters. FVL-M could also replace the Navy's Sikorsky MH-60 Seahawks and the Air Force's Black Hawk variants.
Between them, the three companies supply most of the Pentagon's rotorcraft. For Boeing and Sikorsky, winning one of the two JMR "X-plane" contracts and an FLV-M "Y-plane" fly-off planned for the mid-2020s is crucial to protecting their incumbency with the Army. For Bell, FVL-M would keep the company in the Army business after the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior is phased out.
They faced competition for the demonstrator contracts from two companies offering a "small prime, big team" approach to JMR/FVL—AVX Aircraft and Karem Aircraft. But ensuring the teams had the capability to accomplish the demonstration was a key part of the Army's evaluation, and the "Big Three" and their suppliers brought significant engineering resources and cost-sharing to the table. Both AVX and Karem are waiting to hear if the Army will fund them to continue some technology development work on their designs.
Agreements in place with all four bidders called for 50:50 cost sharing, but both Bell and Sikorsky/Boeing say industry is investing much more than the government. The reason is the program's importance to the rotorcraft manufacturers. JMR/FVL will "reinvigorate industry with an opportunity to design an aircraft from the ground up," says Pat Donnelly, director of the Sikorsky/Boeing JMR team, noting that winning FVL-M would be "a significant continuation of the industrial base built up for Black Hawk and Apache."
But FVL-M is not a done deal for the JMR winners. The technology demonstration is intended to ensure that advanced rotorcraft capable of at least 230 kt.—50% faster than the Black Hawk—are viable candidates for procurement. However, the Army has yet to decide whether and when to launch a program, or if it will be an advanced rotorcraft, a new conventional helicopter or another upgrade to the UH-60.
"The timeline is a government decision. The best we can do is execute the [demonstration] program well, show the Army the realm of the possible by 2017 and make it more likely they will want to commit," says Chris Gehler, director of military program operations for Bell. "Affordability is critical." Cost-prohibitive leap-ahead performance is not a solution, he says. "Everything we are doing is focused on bringing an affordable vehicle to the game. We have to give them a reason to continue."
For Bell, proving its 280-kt.-cruise V-280 Valor tiltrotor is affordable is crucial because the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey has established the tiltrotor's reputation as capable, but costly to produce and maintain. "With tiltrotor you get inherent performance, but the question is affordability," says Gehler. "The V-280 is a clean-sheet third-generation tiltrotor. Our focus is on reducing cost and weight, increasing reliability and performance, and making the aircraft come together in the most affordable way."
The main driver of cost is weight, Gehler says, so the V-280 makes extensive use of composites in the wing, fuselage and V tail. Wing skins and ribs are of honeycomb-stiffened sandwich construction with large-cell carbon cores for fewer, larger and lighter parts. Skins and ribs are paste-bonded together, eliminating fasteners. Costs are reduced more than 30% compared with a scaled V-22 wing, Bell says.
For Sikorsky/Boeing, the 230-kt.-plus SB-1 Defiant is a scale-up of the rigid coaxial-rotor compound helicopter configuration already flown at smaller size with Sikorsky's X2 Technology demonstrator and being built at a larger size with two industry-funded S-97 Raider light tactical helicopter prototypes, the first of which is to fly by year-end. In addition to affordability, the team will have to demonstrate the utility of the SB-1's rigid rotors and tail-mounted propeller in the Black Hawk's transport missions.
"Our hingeless coaxial rotors provide better maneuverability and handling, and allow us to reduce the height between the rotors for lower drag," says Donnelly. "The goal is long range and high speed without compromising low-speed maneuverability. The Defiant will operate like a helicopter in the landing zone, but have the speed and range of a tiltrotor." The variable-pitch propulsion will provide acceleration and deceleration, nose-up/-down pitch pointing and can be declutched for safety and quietness in the landing zone, he says.
In the phase just ended, each contender produced two rotorcraft designs, for the air vehicle concept demonstrator (AVCD) and for an objective aircraft meeting the model performance specification (MPS)—the Army science and technology community's best guess at the FVL-M operational requirements, which will not be set for several more years. "The AVCD is a fully representative, full-scale flight demo of the MPS design to provide the Army with an accurate reflection of what to expect in a future medium-class aircraft," says Gehler.
The AVCD designs used available technology, including legacy engines: General Electric T64s for Bell's V-280 and Honeywell T55s for Sikorsky/Boeing's Defiant. The MPS designs were not limited to what is available now, and could be designed around the Army's planned fuel-efficient Future Affordable Turbine Engine, for which GE is building a demonstrator. "Composites use in the AVCD fuselage is similar to the V-22, with carbon skins and aluminum stringers. MPS has a completely composite fuselage," says Gehler.

Kate Walsh, leaving 'Private Practice'
While on Bethenny Frankel's new talk show, "Bethenny," actress Kate Walsh confirmed rumors that had been swirling about her role in "Private Practice."
"This is my last season for 'Private Practice'," Walsh, 44, told Frankel. "It's been an incredible journey and amazing ride. I'm hugely, hugely grateful."
Walsh, who plays Dr. Addison Montgomery, was on the ABC show since the first season premiered in 2007, but now it's time to hang up the scrubs.
"It's bittersweet, it's a huge chapter of my life," Walsh said. "It's been eight years."
Still, the actress said she's excited about her sixth and last season, which will premiere this fall.

Why Doesn't He Look At Me When I Am Talking To Him?
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "The eyes of men converse as much their tongues." We all know this to be true. A doctor with excellent bedside manner once told me that when he enters a treatment room, he immediately looks his patient in the eye. "This helps me understand my patient's level of stress," he explained.
From birth to death and all occasions in between, the eyes have it. While women and men differ in their eye behavior and what that behavior means, eye contact is the strongest form of nonverbal communication. A study headed by Stephen Janik and Rodney Wellens at the University of Miami in Florida found that 43.4 percent of the attention we focus on someone is devoted to their eyes, with the mouth running a poor second at 12.6 percent. (The mouth and the eyes together account for 56 percent of our attention.)
We attend to others' eyes because these organs are highly expressive of emotions. Why would we want to look into another's eyes if not to assess what that person is feeling? Think about the sentiments conveyed when a loved one's eyes are dulled and flat, when they're sparkling with joy, when they're softened by passion, when they're filled with fear or surprise, or when they're brimming with tears. How about the images or songs that accompany the following descriptions: shifty eyes, laughing eyes, wild eyes, lying eyes, and Bette Davis eyes. Here are just a few of the wide range of human emotions that the eyes convey:
1. Downward glance: Modesty in a woman or remorse for bad behavior in a child
2. Wide eyes: wonder, naiveté, or terror
3. Raised upper lids: displeasure
4. Rolled up: fatigue, impatience, or a signal that something is weird
5. Eye flash: Eyelids widened for less than a second to emphasize a word (usually an adjective) and also in quick greetings or silent communication between intimates. (At the end of a social evening, a couple may signal "let's go" by this gesture alone.)
6. Bedroom Eyes: a woman's soft, drooping lids promise seduction
7. Sidelong Glance: can indicate deference, desire, or deceit.
Sometimes an eye expression can have several meanings. Excessive blinking and fluttering, for instance, may signal anxiety, hesitancy, lack of confidence, and/or shyness. Because blinks increase as anxiety levels rise, experts have studied presidential candidates' blinking rates to determine who prevailed in televised debates.
Some researchers have concluded that blinking even varies with sobriety. Small doses of alcohol increase the number of blinks temporarily while large doses slow the blinking to a dead stop. Too much blinking can even betray deceit, though there are probably easier ways than counting her husband's blinks for a wife to discover whether he has been philandering.

The nettops are not comparable to the mac mini since they are (mostly)

But if just size matters, the asus eetop (or whatever it is called now)
can be considered
as an alternative (but comes without an optical drive).
The MSI Wind Nettop for example (i've just installed one last week) is
as twice as big as the mac mini but very affordable and includes a
dvd-burner and big harddrive.
If you're planing to use it for every-day audio work, you may want to
consider a more performant solution, like the transtec senyo 610
This device an be delivered with Suse Enterprise pre-installed, so it
can be considered as "linux tested" :)
Btw, have you tried running a mac port of linux on your mac mini? I'm
running debian here on an old imac and it is very performant (compared
to OSX).

NRA seeks universal gun law at national meeting
INDIANAPOLIS — With concealed weapons now legal in all 50 states, the National Rifle Association's focus at this week's annual meeting is less about enacting additional state protections than on making sure the permits already issued still apply when the gun owners travel across the country.
The nation's largest gun-rights group, which officially opens its meeting of about 70,000 people today in Indianapolis, wants Congress to require that concealed weapons permits issued in one state be recognized everywhere, even when the local requirements differ. Advocates say the effort would eliminate a patchwork of state-specific regulations that lead to carriers unwittingly violating the law when traveling.

My Stinson Reliant SR-7 building
Finally after some research I found a plan for my Reliant I used a plan for ff from a 1937 Air Trails Magazine found at www.theplanpage.com. As the original plan was for a 21" model, I doubled it and printed in A4 sheets using Tile Print. As seen in the photos I did some slight modifications in the plan (seen in red) like adding flaps and cowl construction.
I dont like the rounded windshield version, but I used this plas beacuse it looks more realistic (I mean airfoil thickness), and have a scale outline for horizontal tail surface, wich Im using in construction.
|Jul 29, 2005, 07:12 PM
beautiful cowl!
|Jul 29, 2005, 09:52 PM
That's a lovely adaptation of the original plans.
You've done this before... I can tell....

Me Too!
I have my ole Berkeley 42" w/s SR-9 converted to SR-8 configuration. It's been covered in Doculam, primed and ready for two-tone airbrushed orange and cream house paint for a couple of months. I finally bought an AXI 2212/20 to spin an 8x6 SF APC prop. Im using 8 KAN 1050 NiMh cells mounted to a ply ring around the AXI in front of the firewall to get the balance right. I used Dubro micro pull-pull set to avoid weight of pushrods to the rudder and elevator. I installed ailerons on one HS-55 servo using bell cranks made from servo wheels. I made the landing gear legs and pants removable/knock-off expecting the worst. I think you can find my old thread with pics somewhere around page 15 or use search. Good luck with your Reliant, looks great

Hey E-Challenged, GREAT! Yours has the same wingaspan of mine! I will surely search your thread and we can exchange some views. I will cover mine with colored adhesive tape, like the ones used in zagis, I found the oracover light too transparent and tape is cheaper.I will cut it, so overlaps will match the longerons and stringers. I will use a MP-Jet AC25/25-26 spinning a varioprop and 3S Lipo. Im surprised yours had tail weight problem, I think mine will have too much nose weight! I will use four gws pico servos (ailerons, elevator, rudder and flaps). I didn´t solve the landing gear issue yet, maybe you can help. Thanks.

Tape Covering?????
I can't imagine using tape for a scale model of that quality but you are right, most lightweight coverings are not opaque enough. That's why many of us are messing around with Doculam primed with white primer and airbrushed with acrylic enamel. The object is a scale opaque finish that is still light. I plan to paint mine basic red/orange with cream trim. I will paint the lightning bolt trim and other cream areas first, then mask the lightning bolts, then shoot the red/orange. ( red/oranger would bleed through the cream otherwise). The nose is short and the rear fuselage/tail feather structure is fairly heavy leading to tail heaviness. I wanted to use a 3S lipo pack but would have had to mount lipo pack protruding through the firewall next to the motor to achieve balance. Didn't want the delicate lipo packs smacking the ground in a hard landing.It would probably help to lengthen the nose a little to help achieve balance without lead and to be able to use Lipo packs. Of course you will want to mount all of the R/C gear etc as far forward as possible and keep the rear structure as light as possible. BTW I'm using streamlined aluminum K&S stock for the wing struts.

Oh yes! believe, tape has a good shining appearence, wont rip as paper and as you said its very light. Best of all, it´s heat shrinkable like monokote! The problem is that, as its self adhesive it will stick to undesirable structure, like sheets under ribs. I will try solving this rubbing some oil on that surfaces.
About yours I prefer putting some weight and lipo than affecting scale appearance. Remember that lipo has a better current draw and linear voltage duration.
Thanks and good luck!

Building progress, now wings and horizontal tail
|Aug 05, 2005, 12:22 PM
Looks great. Stick with it. While cleaning a cookoo clock in my den/model work area I tripped and fell backward and sat down crushing the wing of my recently repaired glow .40 size Gee Bee Sportster Model E. Just missed the wing of my Stinson SR-8. Beware of clutter in the workplace.

Finally the Stinson is finished. I flew her today. Very good flight characteristics, flew well a little flaped, but you have some trouble with full flaps. Power is a MpJet brushless, varioprop with 8,2"X ? scale blades, and an E-tec 1700mAh 2S. I found it a little underpowered, I will put a 3S. Fast flight with flaps up. Here are some photos:
|Aug 13, 2005, 12:18 PM
Fantastic!!! You did a wonderful job on this plane. It makes me want to hurry up and try building from scratch.
|Aug 13, 2005, 12:26 PM
yes a very pretty plane, I'd have never guessed one could make tape look like that.

text: Jurist and statesman. Nephew of Charles William Russell. Born on 10 November 1832 in Newry, Ireland; died on 10 August 1900 in London, England. He practised law in Ireland with great success, and was called to the English Bar in 1859. In 1872 he became a Queen's Counsel. His great ability made him the foremost lawyer of his times. His greatest effort was his speech in defense of Parnell, before the Parnell Commission. In 1893 he represented Great Britain in the Behring Sea arbitration. In 1894 he was made lord of appeals, and raised to the peerage for life; he was also appointed lord chief justice. He represented England on the Venezuelan Boundaries Commission in 1899. His Catholic faith alone prevented him from being appointed lord chancellor in the Liberal government of 1892, such an appointment being contrary to the provisions of the Act of Settlement.New Catholic Dictionary

(Well, in somewhere like western Europe at any rate.)

What absolutely beautiful rustic views you have presented. Sitting here in Paris, I feel I have been transported to a completely different time and place from reading and viewing the story here. Totally entrancing.

And I have confirmed from reading this post that I probably can never go entirely vegetarian: the various meat dishes and the sight of that stuffed lamb has my mouth watering all over the place. Yum.

You look fantastic in those shades up there -- relaxed and happy. It seems that your new provincial life is agreeing with you. :)Karin (an alien parisienne)http://email@example.com

I have been so tired lately. I wake up in the am and stay awake for only a few hours and then I am so tired that I go back to sleep for 4-5+ hours. By the time I wake up again, it is usually night. Then the cycle begins again.
I had been doing so well until I came down with the head/chest cold. I'm over that now but still can't stay awake the whole day.
Sunday, I went to church, had lunch with parents and sister, then visited my cousin for 3 hrs. (Her brother had a sudden massive heart attack on Wed. morning.) When I arrived home, I was only awake for maybe 1/2 hour. I slept till late that night.
Yesterday, went with family to my male cousin's (see above) memorial service (about 1 1/2 away) and stayed until late afternoon. After I was home for about 1 or 2, I went to sleep.
Even today, I got up around 8 am and I am now so tired I want to go back to sleep. It is very hard to get up and get moving - cardio & strength training.
It is sleeting today and bitter cold. Very little sunshine, schools are closed. This doesn't help get me moving.
Yesterday late morning I went back to sleep and slept till 6 pm. I was so tired, body and mind.
I didn't have lunch but was still able to get 8 glasses of water and 5 fruits/veggies in.
I decided to try LS WATP 3 mile walk video (yep, a video not dvd - I bought it 2002 (I think) and had never opened it). I use several other dvds of hers.
I DID IT! I wasn't sure if I would make it; I also did all the arm movements just without weights. By the 2 1/2 mile mark my knees were starting to hurt but I kept going and made it to the 3 mile finish. Stretching helped ease the soreness in my knees, hamstrings, and thighs.
I felt great afterwards, energetic and happy.
Now, it is almost 1 am on Sunday and I am ready for bed. But I still feel good.
I plan on following LS Walk and Kick dvd later today. And on Monday, use another of her dvds/videos.
I seem to be over my head/chest cold and I want to get back to cardio everyday and strength training.
Have a nice and blessed Sunday everyone!
By the way, it is VERY COLD here!
How do I balance, keep up with everything? I don't, my blog the other day said as much. In my Bible study "Living a Life with Balance" it mentions what Jesus said about worrying - Luke 12:22, 23.
"Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes."
And in Luke 12:31 Jesus tells us "Seek HIS kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well."
I forget this, maybe you also forget this, it is difficult to remember that GOD will provide and is with us when we feel we are at our limits and have nowhere to go. It is at those times, I (and you) need to remember to go to GOD, he is our Heavenly Father and HE wants us to turn to him at all times.
Only with GOD can I truly balance my life, first (1) I need to turn to Him in praise, asking for forgiveness, and asking for blessings/help for myself and others.
Even as I struggle now with natural/physical things, I can flourish in the Spirit when I place GOD first in my life. That is when the other things will balance out.
Have I done this? no; Am I working on it? YES; Is it difficult? YES
Other things seem to creep up on my time and push me away from my GOD. I need to slow down in the morning, afternoon, and evening to take time to talk, pray, and meet with GOD - devotions, Bible study, Bible reading, prayer. Just as I take time for family and friends, I (we) need to take time with GOD. HE is there/here waiting for us (me).
Have you done this? Is it difficult for you? What do you think? Is your life balanced?
Tired now. Walked my puppy and older dog awhile today. For lunch & supper I ate healthy. It is my brother's birthday, so I ate 2 servings of cookies&cream ice cream pie.
I am overwhelmed; have been for some time. Just trying to get by one day at a time. I can't seem to breakthough my exercise and weight loss stagnation. I also seem to be always "organizing"/putting away items in my house. I have a small house; kitchen, family/living room, bedroom, hallway/laundry/doorway, bathroom, and small (small) second bedroom (using as a craft room/office).
I can't keep up with cleaning, finding places to put things, (I have given away and thrown away ALOT!! Truck loads), etc. My health interferes then I get discouraged and overwhelmed.
It doesn't help that I am working as a substitute teaching, I don't have a steady income. I am also taking online classes toward a certification.
I've read Genesis Sunday and Monday nights. I need to remember that God answered Abraham and Sarah's prayers. Even today, he answers prayers.
I get discourage and have no one to talk to in person; that is why I am typing all of this in my blog... I am starting to feel close to YOU (who have communicated with me) at SP. I am usually a very private person; especially with my problems/challenges.
My GOD hear all of our prayers and my HE answer them so we can understand the answers.
"Success is not to be measured by the position someone has reached in life, but the obstacles he has overcome while trying to succeed." Booker T. Washington
This I need to remember.
