Anyone do Rebounding?
Waiting for delivery for my Jumpsport Rebounder and was wondering if anyone else does this type of exercising.
Did my research and it looks like it'll be easy on my joints - especially my hip issue.
I was thinking about a Bellicon, so I hope someone does give an opinion about rebounding.
I bought the book, "The New Arthritis Cure", by Bruce Fife and he recommended this exercise as the best for joints or for all exercise as far as that goes. However, most 'authorities' end up quoting A. Carter who wrote the book on rebounding. Some of the theories I take with a grain of salt as Carter is the one whose company is Bellicon. :laugh:
However, Bellicon is top of the line which it should be for the cost. :) Jumpsport is the next best due to both rebounders use bungee cords rather than noisy springs. Bellicon is larger than Jumpsport, but the cost of the latter is more in the average person's budget.
Hope you've seen some of the Bellicon YouTube videos. I'm definitely going to use their 20 minute workout. They've done a great job with their YouTube videos. In fact, I started doing one of their exercises for the hip joint and it really helped just doing it using the floor. :)
Good luck and let us know if you get the Bellicon.
I have a Cellerciser which I :love:. Rebounders make a world of difference to one's joints and it's said they're very effective in moving lymphatic fluids around the body and boosting cellular health. Sounds good to me but anyway, it's a lot of fun!!! I load up my ipod with good dance music and bounce away...:jumpjoy:
I have had a DP rebounder (with springs), which I bought in the 1980s - I have used it on and off over the years. I always found it extremely effective (plus easy on the joints) when used consistently; occasionally I would jog outside just to gauge how fit I was getting (I am not a fan of regular outside jogging/running) and I always amazed myself at how far I could go before fatigue.
I'm currently not using it as I'm doing enough aerobics at my health club but I would never sell it or throw it out (even though I stub my toe on it a lot if I leave it out on the floor - LOL).
I have a Bellicon and I love it!
Glad to see that some have rebounders. It's a fun way to exercise and like you said, so easy on the joints.
I haven't been back to LCFs for awhile because I found another Forum that has other Rebounder folks and Challenges <- which I love. Just keeps me on track. Presently I've joined other Challenges on the site, but keep up my rebounding too. I've joined Leslie Sansone's Walk one and also another one that counts any and all exercises with a monthly Goal. That one I can count my rebounding time, walking, and yoga, and any other exercise I choose to do.
I really like my Jumpsport rebounder, but do wish I could have afforded the 300 level one as it has more bounce. Fortunately, when I can, I can order cords that go to the 350 ones and just change the cords. :up:
Well, I noticed my 14 yr. old cat would get on the bed while I was bouncing and really seemed to like it. Now, she sits there meowing while I'm rebounding so when I'm finished I lay on my back and she jumps up and lays on my tummy while I bounce using my butt. :laugh: She loves it!
I swear, if my cat is getting some benefits, I know we are too. :laugh:
Does no one use the Urban Rebounder anymore..... was there a problem with it???
I know this is an older thread, but would any of you be interested in a challenge thread here?
I'm happy to set one up for us!
So I jumped the gun and started a challenge, feel free to join!
Anybody still rebounding? I ordered a Jumpsport 350 and it should be here on Monday. I wanted a Bellicon but the Jumpsport was more in my budget. They had 10% off on their website for Halloween but when I called, they gave me 15% off.
I guess rebounding isn't as popular as it once was but I think it's a great alternative to jogging, especially for a not so young person.
I do! Have not updated my challenge thread above your post, but it is recent. Come join us there!

Everyone knows that honey comes from bees, right? Well, according to an unsettling study from Food Safety News, it might not be that simple. The study found that the majority of what's being sold as honey has been ultra filtered so that it no longer contains pollen. Without pollen, the FDA does not consider these products to be honey. After all, pollen provides antioxidants and nutrients and is what gives different types of honey distinctive flavors. But more importantly, without pollen, it is impossible to trace where honey comes from and guarantee its purity.
Food Safety News analyzed the pollen counts of honey from supermarkets, drugstores, big box stores and specialty markets in 10 states and the District of Columbia. Shockingly, 100 percent of the honey bought at drugstores contained no pollen, 76 percent of the samples bought at grocery stores had all the pollen removed and 77 percent of honey bought at big box stores like WalMart and Target contained no pollen.
On the positive side, honey from Trader Joe's, farmers' markets, health food stores and co-ops contained full amounts of pollen.
Food Safety News also found imported honey containing both heavy metals and banned antibiotics, all lacking the necessary pollens to determine their place of origin.
The honey producers who spoke to Food Safety News agreed that there's only one reason to filter honey -- to cover up the fact that they are selling an inferior and potentially dangerous product, which may be coming from China. Chinese honey, which is cheaper, has been found to contain chemicals and antibiotics and in 2001, the Federal Trade Commission implemented tariffs to prevent it from being imported into the United States.
If you're shopping for honey at the supermarket, your best bet is to avoid store brands and opt for honey that's labeled organic. It will probably cost more, but you'll be certain that there's actually honey in that bear-shaped jar.

To be kind is simply to express the knowledge and conviction of a truth: that among the many varying places which exist, and generations that have come before us; that among the particular, notable time of earth and between the lives that lived before us and those arriving afterwards, it is a significant thing that we exist together, now. And by that virtue, the treatment towards one another, the interactions that naturally abound, will be bearing this fact as the foundation of action. I am compelled to recognize the sameness, and thus can't help but hold the empathy that dwells mercilessly in me for you.
Brian ;)
I met a stranger who is not really a stranger anymore. His name was Brian. Well actually, Brian ;) is what his name tag read, and young Brian, 23, helped change my life. Because young Brian was not afraid to be kind to people, to care about his work, to believe in his impact, to make very apparent the correct idea that little things like a winky-face smiley at the end of his name tag could make people smile, and that's all most people needed on a tough day.
They buried Brian on my birthday, May 17 [2013] after a hit and run by some white pick-up truck that has yet to be caught. His small interactions continue to make a big difference, even now.
And so do yours, by the way.
We have become masters
. . . of distraction.
We must disrupt ourselves. We must mess up the lies we've told, we must wreck our fears by throwing them into the abyss. We must run rampant on our comfort, leaving it bewildered behind us. We must detach the untruths--we must discover them first. We must hear the thing we wish not to hear, we must give chance to the thing we hate to watch, we must say the things we cannot say. We must drink the thing we cannot chew and swallow the thing we cannot stomach. We must break the things given to us and put them back together our own way, for it is a sin to do nothing with a gift that has been given to us and yet call it our own.
We must disrupt everything.
The Most Subtle Marketing
just want you to barely notice them.
And that's enough.
Suffering Makes Two Options Available
Option 1: Become bitter. Not a little bitter. Soul-turning, dream-resigning, disbelieving bitter. This can be, depending on the person, the much easier option. It's certainly more straightforward. It's like a switch, you turn off. But for the person whose nature it is to care, this will undoubtedly lead to (you guessed it) more suffering. It seems so easy doesn't it? You hurt?? Stop caring and you'll be fine. Well isn't that the greatest advice you've ever heard. Care, by all means. But don't care to become bitter. Care to become better.
Option 2: Be creative. Turn it into a creative force. I know that sounds borderline ignorant to the suffering in the first place, but, the truth is that this is the moment you have no shame. This is the moment you have time. This is the moment you have you (whether you like you or not). So do something with you.
At the end of the day, the people who suffered Hurricane Sandy or a broken heart or a painful mourning (quite sure we each have gone through--or are going through--at least 2/3 of these) who can do something, will do something. I'm pretty sure bitter people don't help re-plant trees in their town.
Just saying.
The Switch to Square: Why Bloggers Should Be Moving Up
Some may call it an elite service, but I've tried wordpress, tumblr, typepad, and blogger, and depending on what you're comfortable with, those may serve you well; however, after exporting my blog three times from those platforms, I'm sticking with SS.
Squarespace, a decidedly beautiful platform for blogging, vlogging, and photographs, has just released it's newest version: SquareSpace 6 which runs parallel to SquareSpace 5 (I use both). So with so many options for bloggers, i.e. wordpress, tumblr, typepad, etc. Why Squarespace? I've been using these guys since 2008 and they are only getting better. Here's a short l list of why I love them:
You're an integral part of a growing company. Some people like this, some people hate it. For me, I thrive on it. What it means to you is that they treat you like an important person, because you are. They take your feedback seriously, and grow and develop with you in mind.
Have a BEAUTIFUL website. Aesthetically speaking, you won't get better. Founder Anthony Casalena has an almost OCD-like quality about him when it comes to making sure their templates and all their customizable features are beautiful. For the designer, you get the perfect design without the code which for me was important.
Mobile-ready for IPhone/Android/Windows. People are reading your blog on their phone a lot of the time. They use services like Pulse (fantastic app) to push content to their device. You don't have to worry how it'll come through whether it's on their browser or through a third-party app; the formatting takes care of itself.
Easy Import/Export. Trying out other blog services if you get curious is no problem. Your content is always backed up and you can export in XML. Keep in mind, you'll likely return but it's still useful for those who are not yet convinced or have found another platform they're more comfortable with. The import option is just as easy.
Template Previews and fully customizable. The templates are extremely well designed on their own but the fact that you can fully customize them is better. My favorite feature is that you can switch between templates without the typical select, preview, go back, select another, preview . . . no no no. You can toggle templates with your content AND customize it simultaneously. This is super cool for an admitted nitpicker like me.
In addition,
- 24/7 honest, helpful support (they are fantastic)
- Advanced areas for developers
- Try it free for two weeks and email them for an extension (for up to a month)
Keep in mind that SS5 and SS6 are very different. In my personal opinion, SS6 is great for photographers--stunning even, and for bloggers, either or will work well. Let me know your thoughts once you try it out, why you like another platform more or less, or what your must-have features are in a blogging service.
5 Ways to Kill Your Soul (Don't do it!)
1. Never look in the mirror. If you don't see you, you're not there. It also helps to be a bitch or an asshole to people you don't know because it'll shatter any positive reflection of yourself you might see in them.
2. Let other people make your decisions. This is easiest way you can not exist at all.
3. Do work you don't care about. Get the licenses, pass the tests, sell the stuff, and sit there.
4. Never appreciate anything. God forbid you give gratitude for everyday things like your legs, or music, or your Mom, or the sun.
5. Tell yourself that the things you like doing are not worth doing because you are not worth it even though you love doing them. This makes perfect sense.
Bonus: I hope you see how ridiculous this is. If you've already killed yourself, don't worry. You can be a zombie and come back from the dead. You may be a little screwy, but it's better than being a deadbeat.
Ps: I love you, live!
You Are All Marketing
People think that marketing is just for a business. People are wrong.
Your whole life is marketing. Everything you do from the food you choose to eat to the place you live to the people you're friends with to the beer you drink to the things you watch happen are all marketing. It's not uncommon for people not to watch you. Sure, everybody's got their own privacy, but people see the things you do (Moms especially). And more importantly, people see the things you don't do.
This last point scared me. If I stand back and do nothing, or do something comfortable, or settle in a way that I don't really want to but have chosen to, people will see that. And not everyone who sees that will say "Ope, that's me too! I'm gonna do the same thing!" but they might for a second think, maybe I should settle too.
Or, maybe I shouldn't say anything if my friend is cheating on his girlfriend. Not my place.
Or, maybe I should get an MBA to market myself better even though I have no idea what I want to do.
Or, maybe I should spend 4 hours watching this show instead of doing what I love because what I love to do is too hard, like paint or write or develop a small business or learn French.
It scares the hell out of me to know that I may be influencing something I don't want for others. "Listen, you're not that important," somebody might say, and they may be absolutely correct. Or absolutely incorrect.
I won't take the chance.
Food Choices and an Alaskan Fisherman
I love fried mushrooms and wings (and I always, always will) but being recently inspired by "Forks Over Knifes," and my friend Alex's book recommendation, "The Omnivore's Dilemma," I'm finding that the food we eat needs to be dumbed down for our own sake. This is not a hippie rant or persuasive essay, but it is more of a freak-out realization encompassing what the hell are we eating and what is it doing to me? Because my diet has consisted maybe 30% (if I'm lucky) of foods that I can properly define, I'm starting simple: more whole veggies, less meat and dairy, less canned anything. Not cold turkey. Nothing radical. Just a serious effort to pay attention to food.
Farmer's Markets are becoming a heavy trend (one movement was featured on the cover of Entrepreneur Magazine this month), and it's been one that I'll admit, I didn't pay too much attention to in the beginning. After a couple years however, it's easy to see that this isn't going away soon. The wave of books and media documenting food choices are exploding, but before you believe anything that's written in a book or showed in a movie or printed in a white paper, skim through this TED talk:
Now that you're up to speed, I want you to know that I'll be taking note of good ideas, interesting finds, recipes, and inspiring people in the food world. Not often, but you'll see a few posts in the future. Now I don't expect this to take effect immediately, you won't run out now to pick oranges off your neighbor's yard (Jess you know what I'm talking about), but like most things in life, when it makes sense for you, it'll happen.
Seth Godin says, "You're only poor if you don't have a choice." If you've got that choice, take advantage of it. Lots of people don't.
FEATURED: Guys like Cedar Mulligan who I recently met at a Glendale, Arizona Farmer's Market is not just an adorablely nice human being, his whole family is made up of Alaskan fisherman. They flash-freeze and sell the heck out of their wild catches (king salmon, halibut, rockfish, etc.)--tell him you're on a budget and he'll recommend a good bang for your buck.
PS: It's kind of funny how we're circling around when it comes to food. Moved from handmade/hand-caught/hand-picked to machine-manufactured/genetically-altered/mass-produced and now we're trending back to the beginning. Life's interesting like that.
15 Best Places on the Web for Entrepreneurs (and Rules for the Wantrepreneur)
Don't underestimate what people want. The point is to see what floats. You can gauge interest by sharing your ideas with others (see The Body Language Handbook) or even playing with it online. This is the biggest mistake I think I've made thus far. If I don't pay for something, it doesn't mean that somebody else wouldn't pay for it. If I'm a Squarespace pro, I'm not gonna buy a book on learning Squarespace—but some people will! Because they're not pros! You're a master at some things and not others; understand that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and see where you can help.
If Seth Godin says ship, Ship! But not on blind faith. If there's one thing I've learned (the hard way), it's that you need to find a balance between research and ready-to-launch. There are so many ways to experiment nowadays to see if your product or service is even viable. If you're not sure, experiment. Don't throw your life savings at it and say "I command you to work!" Experiment, scientist.

Love, Waiting, and Time Wasting
I was thinking actually about my position. And I was thinking, actually, about love. Love knows no gender, no particular role, no status. It isn't fluff or fond of "stuff" or bullshit. It's honest--the real kind that is--and it's interesting.
I'm not quite sure what spurred the topic of this post, but I think it has something to do with waiting for love and/or waiting for something to happen. "You can't start until . . ." is stupid. Life isn't a waiting game, unless you treat it that way. So all the things you want to do, all the places you want to see, all the potential possibilities that you want to realize, realize them. Don't wait for anything.
Love, God, family, friends, business partners.
The way the world works is that all those necessary components, well they come as you're moving along. You'll bring them then. Not before.
Deal with it.
Future of the Book
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. It's IDEO's version of the Future of the Book.

Should I Hire a Web Designer or Not?
I'm going to make this super-easy for you. It all depends on your project, right? So break down your project. Answer these questions to figure out if you should hire a designer or not:
- How motivated am I to learn to design my own website? (be honest because it may take 2 hours to figure out how to position a banner ad) and is it intrinsically worth it for me to learn this (i.e. will I use it again/is it good for me to know)?
- Is this going to be a user-interactive site (i.e. game, social network) or it information/content-only (i.e. blog, business information site, FAQ, reviews)?
- Am I willing to spend more than $5000 on this? (obviously some designers will work for less, but let's be serious, if you're thinking about hiring a designer, it better be because you believe it's going to be worth this much)
If you answered not motivated at all, a user-interactive site, and yes I'm willing to spend 5K, then Elance or Sortfolio is a good answer to help you find an independent web designer.
Otherwise, Squarespace is the best thing I'd found so far for beautiful web sites. There's a ton you can do with the basic platform (if pricing is an issue), and if you want to insert code, easy. Or have no clue what "code" is, you can still make an awesome site. You can get a free trial here.
Good luck with your site, and feel free to leave a comment or send over an email if you have any questions. I've got a lot of tips on tools to use for things like newsletters, video help, software, code clips, more tools used by professional bloggers, vloggers.
Deciding What Matters on Making a Living
I'm pretty confident we're all overwhelmed. We're in a stage where tables are turning: people are doing things for themselves instead of depending on big institution to do things for them. There are fantastic companies out there who help their employees with personal career goals (+10 points for them), but we still have to choose what to do. You've gotta understand something. We live in a world now (this is specific to developed countries btw) in which there is literally nothing you can't learn to do--if you want. Guess what the key phrase was in there. If you want. We're having trouble deciding what to do and where to go, and sometimes we just take what's in front of us, what's given to us. Don't do that. At least don't do it blindly. The best way to know what direction to go is to stop and decide what matters to you.
Get your personal guidelines and move in that direction.
Keep in mind, you can stop, evaluate, and adjust what you want at anytime. That's the beauty of life.
Note: sometimes things will be tossed your way, throwing you off the path. Trust it for 5 seconds will you? You can't complain every time something doesn't go your way. Trust that you are a creative enough person to make it work.
Thanks to Seth Godin for this amazing post:
Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
The end of the industrial era is opening countless doors. So many doors, in fact, that it's easy to become paralyzed. Without a clear understanding of what you want, it's harder than ever to get it.
Most of the time, we treat our careers like a buffet. "Show me what's available and then I'll decide..."
With the revolution going on all around us, there's so much on the buffet you're likely to just grab something convenient. Better, I think, to decide what matters first, and go do that.
Favorite Excerpts of Chris Sacca on FOUNDATION
Chris Sacca took out student loans, day traded most of the money, went to law school, and when the market blew up, found himself in a 2-Million dollar hole.
He made up an advisory group and worked psychology in his favor.
Chris talk's about how important it was for him to be helpful.
These are just a couple great clips. You can see the whole episode on Foundation, a relatively new show by Kevin Rose on Revision3.com.
Serious Talent in the Creative World: Videography
I came across a company, Artwerk.ca, that seriously impressed me. Some people are gonna ask me, why are you putting a random video on your blog? It's because great talent needs to be recognized. Discovered them after watching diggnation (great, funny show) and saw their name in the credits. For those that know me, I obviously dug a bit deeper to learn more about the background scheming that goes on to make things happen. Since that is, of course, my favorite place to be: the background.
This is a Macro Video done exceptionally well. WARNING: causes trance.

Seth Godin on Your Business' Advertising Ideas
Everyone knows how much I love small business. I'm fascinated by it and by the people involved in it. They've got guts, they put themselves out there, they try hard (most of them). This will help you realize how incorrectly you've been thinking about your business and your marketing. Thank you Seth and Yahoo for this seriously special interview.
Gary Vaynerchuk on Buying the NY Jets
This is the man behind DailyGrape.com (he will teach you about wine). I thought this was so adorable, and so humble, it had to be shared. Things like this are so meaningful to us in our lives--it's just, awesome. No other way to say it.
Try out Google+ Free Invite
Ohhhhh the Circles feature is so awesome. Instead of Facebook Friends, Circles lets you separate people in specific categories (i.e. friends, coworkers, family, basketball friends, etc.). It's still in Beta so, give it a break if it's buggy, but if you need an invite let me know.
Best 2011 Invite-Only Websites and Tools
The following are, as of July 23rd, 2011, awesome invite-only websites/tools:
1. Spotify. This site/tool came from awesome GB (Great Britain). I literally just downloaded the little application, but so far, it has had outstanding reviews. Very exciting. AND I found you a link so that you can skip the invite without paying for the premium or unlimited service. Here you go, thank these guys (Ars Technica) for being awesome and providing the link: Spotify Free Invite.
2. Google+ If you were lucky enough to get in before they outdid themselves, congratulations lucky duck. Even us with invites have to wait it out now. My favorite thing about Google+ so far? Circles. There are certain people you love professionally, people you're comfortable saying momma-jokes to, and yet other people who love talking food. Different people for different things! Finally a good way to segregate things (in a good way)!
3. Pinterest. If you're a visual person, holy crap is this for you. It's a visual collection of "pins" that you pin up on boards and share with followers. There is a "Pin-it" extension you can use on your browser to skim through the site your own and find pictures, then you pick what you wanna post. That simple. Some pinners are immensely creative; it's inspiration for the eyes. If you want a free invite just leave a comment below with your email address.

Community » Applications » Turba
Turba is the Horde contact management application. It is a production level address book, and makes heavy use of the Horde framework to provide integration with IMP and other Horde applications.
Turba is a complete basic contact management application. SQL, LDAP, IMSP, Kolab, and Horde Preferences backends are available and are well tested. You can define the fields in your address books in a very flexible way, just by changing the configuration files. You can import/export from/to CSV, TSV, and vCard contacts. You can create distribution lists from your addressbooks, which are handled transparently by IMP and other Horde applications. You can share address books with other users. Turba can work as a CardDAV servers for external address book clients. And there are Horde API functions to add and search for contacts.
Additional backends are easy to add - all you need to do is to implement a Turba_Driver subclass that implements a few simple methods and talks to your storage method of choice.
If you are interested in helping develop Turba, or just want to ask questions and keep an eye on its progress, be sure to join our mailing list!

Finding Hope in Hard Times: A resource for dealing with today
Jeudi, Avril 2, 2009
In an effort to deal with today's economy and reality, the Episcopal Church is offering a free resource, "Finding Hope in Hard Times: Seven Spiritual Practices," designed to provide faith communities with practical and spiritual disciplines in order to nurture a culture of generosity and hope, in the midst of fear, anxiety and despair.
"Christian hope is based on trust," explained the Rev. Laurel Johnston, the Episcopal Church's Program Officer for Stewardship. "Trust that God will continue to fulfill God's promise in a new way to each generation that leads to freedom, free to be the people God intended us to be. The 'Finding Hope in Hard Times' resource guide invites communities of faith to take on seven disciplines that nurture hope and a path towards spiritual and financial freedom."
"Finding Hope in Hard Times: Seven Spiritual Practices" is available free or download to allow for accessibility throughout the wider church and society. Prepared by the Episcopal Church Office of Stewardship, "Finding Hope in Hard Times" was adapted from Stewards in a Slump, created by the National Stewardship Office of the Church of England.
"While it is our Christian call to attend to the pastoral and practical needs of people that have lost their jobs and their homes, it is equally our call to discern God's invitation in the midst of this crisis," Johnston added.
Since its launch in January, more than 10,500 copies have been ordered and it has been translated into Korean and will be available in Spanish.
The sections are topical and relevant: Count Your Blessings; Count Your Cash; Learn to be Content; Choose a Simpler Lifestyle; Keep on Giving; Rebuild Spiritual Communities; and A Financial Downturn can be a Spiritual Upturn. Each section includes a suggested action, and a "Pause for Reflection" for readers to contemplate.
"For some of us, the invitation may be to create and learn to live within a budget, a budget that includes giving, saving and spending less," Johnston continued. "For others the invitation may be to be intentional about nurturing a discipline of gratitude so that we can more readily give voice to the abundance of God's grace and blessing in our lives. For all of us, this crisis has lifted the veil on the many ways that we are enslaved by consumerism, debt, and by a mindset of scarcity."

Drivers who get caught by the city's speed cameras will start getting tickets Thursday instead of just warnings.
It's part of an effort announced Wednesday by Mayor de Blasio to try to cut the number of traffic deaths around the city.
The mayor laid out his "Vision Zero" plan in Woodside, Queens where an 8-year-old boy was struck and killed by a truck while on his way to school last month.
The city has six speed cameras up so far, and has Albany's approval to install up to 20.
De Blasio says the city should be able put up more cameras on its own.
"This is a right this city needs to have. We have to protect our people. We need to be able to do that quickly and in a focused manner. We should not have to constantly go to Albany and have our efforts limited when we're trying to protect our own people," de Blasio said.
As part of the mayor's plan, the NYPD is assigning more officers to its Highway Division.
De Blasio says he wants to create more 20 mph zones, and will work to improve safety at the city's 50 most dangerous intersections.
He's also asking a group of city agencies to map out a traffic safety plan by February 15.
There have already been 11 traffic related deaths in the city this year.
There were 286 in 2013, most of them pedestrians.

Great Article! Just thought I would share.... =) This was NOT written by me.
I love reading all the weight/diet/food/exercise posts on facebook. They are just a blog waiting to be written! The reason I only train women is because I feel so many women just simply have no clue when is comes to HOW to lose body fat and build the body of their dreams. It is no fault of their just don�t know what information to trust.
So why is what I am telling you right? Well, I guess results speak for themselves and I have about 300 women who finally �get it� and would be willing to tell you they did it wrong for so many years. Here are the big ones. The big NOOOOO�s!!! that I see women do all the time.
Gimmicks- Have you seen the new Kim Kardashian Sketchers commercial? Apparently she has ditched her trainer and now gets the body of her dreams by walking around in stupid looking shoes. Sounds amazing right? Wrong. She gets paid millions to tell you that Quicktrim and Shape-Ups work. They don�t. You know what works? REGULAR, HARD work and a clean portioned diet. That is it. The stomach flu is a great way to lose weight too, that doesn�t mean it will produce long-term sustainable results.
Eating diet food- Lean Cuisines, 100 calorie snack packs, Light and Fit, and sugar free jello are all diet missteps that are making you fatter. Nutritionally empty, but filled with crap and artificial ingredients, these foods are a waste of your calories and your money.
Instead, eat small portions every 3-5 hours of real,whole, foods. And don�t get me started on the sugar! That Gatorade you are guzzling during your Zumba class? Loaded with sugar.
What is real food? Food that rots. Food that has one ingredient. Food that was grown, or harvested by farmers, not made in a lab with scientists. Whole eggs, whole grains, vegetables, whole fruit (not dried or juiced), lean meat, plain greek yogurt, almonds, beans, grains like couscous, Bulgar wheat, quinoa, and whole grain pasta are foods that fill you, fuel you, and make your body look, feel and perform better.
Good food has calories too so you need to watch your portions!
Going on a diet at all- If you want to change, then you have to change. And a diet it a short term fix for a long term problem. Change the way you eat and change how much you eat, and your body will change. It will take time, but if you stick with it, 3 months from now you could be leaner, lighter, and feel amazing!
Using the calorie counter on the elliptical as a guide of how �good� your workout was- This is one of those that I just laugh out loud on. �Man do I feel great! Burned 500 calories walking on the treadmill!� Calories burned depends on how much you weigh, how much muscle you have, and how hard you are working. And the treadmill can only tell you one of those things. So you might THINK you burned 500 calories, but you probably burned about 20-40% less than that.
I actually hate when my clients asked me how many they burned. Who cares? Are you a sweaty beast? Can you barely lift your arms? Are you struggling to get up off the ground? Good! Then you earned the right to leave.
Using the elliptical at all- If you want to change your body, you have to challenge it. And unless you are warming up on the elliptical (and even then I don�t like it) before you throw around some heavy metal, than you are making a HUGE mistake.
One of the reasons men lose weight quicker than women is because they have more muscle, and muscle is your furnace. It is what burns the calories. So a 140 pound woman with 15% body fat is burning a LOT more calories throughout her day than a 140 pound woman with 30% body fat. Build muscle, burn more.
The only way to build muscle is through strength and resistance training. So pick up some weights and get lifting. And those weights better weigh more than your handbag. In fact, if they are pink, and you can do 20 reps, they are too light. Take that Tracey Anderson.
It has to be HARD. You should be struggling. You should be breathing heavy. It should be very challenging. If not, trade up for something heavier.
Expecting overnight results-One week of hitting the gym hard and eating salads for lunch and you lost a pound. So you skip the gym and eat ice cream. Big mistake.
It takes a 3500 calorie deficit to lose one pound of body fat. And fat is what matters. Who cares about water weight. Yea, you are lighter after a night of boozing, but that doesn�t mean your jeans fit any better. Keep doing the right things, week after week, month after month, and if in a few months you are STILL not seeing changes, re-evaluate.
Quitting quickly- This goes hand in hand with seeing overnight results. Rome wasn�t built in a day, and neither will a chiseled, lean, strong physique.
Weighing yourself every day- Hormones, water retention, time of the month, a big meal, all play a part in our weight. Once a week weigh yourself- NO MORE. If you have fat to lose, and the scale is not budging, you are doing something wrong. Stop making excuses, and change something.
Focusing on a �goal weight�- Muscle weights more than fat. So if you are working out with weights for the first time you might actually gain weight. So what? Your body will look better, feel better, take up less space, and perform better. I would rather be a 130 pound size 4/6 with a shredded middle and cut arms than a 130 pounds flabby size 8/10 with no muscle. Wouldn�t you?
NOT lifting weights- Get off the elliptical, cut back on Zumba (gag) and start picking up things that make your muscles burn, your arms shake, and your sweat flow.
But be sure and work with a qualified trainer to teach you proper form or you could hurt yourself. What is qualified? NOT an accountant turned Crossfit trainer, or a substitute teacher turned globo gym training god after one weekend course.
Training with the wrong people- I recently had a very thin client show up to bootcamp with 2 pound weights telling me she wanted to lose ten pounds. I had to fight back my laughter as I told her we don�t use 2 pound weights here (her large handbag weighed more than her weights). I also fought back a disturbed look thinking she needs to GAIN ten pounds of muscle, not lose ten pounds of fat. She told me she works with a trainer at a globo gym that I cannot stand. After watching her struggle during class it was clear to me her trainer was, just as I expected, terrible, and obviously feeding her weight loss neurosis. My guess is this client had never lifted a weight over 5 pounds. Shame on that trainer.
You get what you pay for. Work with a qualified, experienced, reputable trainer who will NOT stick you on any machine.
So in summary. Work hard, really hard, really regularly. Eat real food, in small amounts, real often. Don�t eat crap, steer clear of sugar. Get off the treadmill and lift heavy things. Push and pull your body-weight. Stop stressing about each and every pound and try to ENJOY the journey to your best body. It will take time, dedication, discipline, and sweat. But if you really want it, it can be yours.

Well I am behind a day (what else is new! HA!) The new Extreme Push Challenge started yesterday (Thursday) but I will catch up! I also had to think of goals for this new round. I think the goals I have chose will be helpful throughout the summer.
Challenge #1 Description: A new 30 days means new goals! List your goals on your blog today and explain why you specifically chose them. If you are going after my model, this means you are choosing one nutrition goal, one fitness goal, and one organizational/motivational goal.
Why are these goals important to you? What do you think will change in these 30 days if you follow through on your commitment? What are some things you can do to make sure you are successful in accomplishing these goals? What are you going to do to make sure you finish this challenge? Who/what is going to be your accountability?
Nutrition: Stay in calorie range 26 out of 30 days. [ I chose this goal because now that it is Summer, I do not want to go off of my routine I have. I know I will probably be going out more often and I don't want to gain my weight back due to margaritas/happy hours. So I think this will keep me accountable and it is something I will stick to!]
Fitness: Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30 Days 6 days a week (1 day for rest) [ I chose this goal because I wanted to try Ripped and have heard alot of good things about Jillian Michaels' DVDS. So it was perfect timing!]
Motivation: Read each day for atleast 30 minutes. [ I chose this goal because I simply need to read more and probably will spend less useless time on the computer! ]
Nutrition: End of the year party today so I chose today as a splurge day. Mostly on alcohol but I now know I can't do that EVERY weekend with this challenge =) So I have used one of my days already. 1 - 4
Fitness: Did day 1 today I loved it!
Motivation: Read to the kids I watch but I really need to find a book I enjoy...adult reading ;)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Any suggestions for books to read? I usually like biographies, self help, anything on eating healthy/fitness....please share :)
I can't believe I stayed consistent throughout this whole challenge! WHOA! I can't wait to start the next one (today). I am actually thinking about what I am going to change my goals to, if the set up is still going to be the same.
My Goals and Update!
Nutrition - Stay in my calorie range on the weekends / drink atleast 10 cups of water on weekends
Fitness - Continue to run 3x a week for atleast 30 minutes
Motivation - Organize my room/clothes and get rid of the clothes I won't wear anymore / Chalene 30 Day Challenge with Sparkgirl32
Nutrition - Stayed in my range even though it was a weekday.
Fitness - Made it to the gym to run even though I was exhausted from babysitting for 10 hours. Yikes! I forced myself to go and I am so glad I did. I ran for 35 min and did back.
Motivation - keeping up with Chalene Challenge and I am failing on the cleaning.
* * *

Chalene Johnson�s 30 Day Challenge, Day 30 Answer: I am going to stay accountable by continuing these challenges =) they def help me alot. It is my push goal to stay healthy and keep the weight off. So I am going to do everything I can to put that as a priority in my life.
* One positive thing: I ran on the treadmill tonight and was able to run at 9:40 min/mile pace.
*One thing I am grateful for: One more day of "work" aka babysitting then Friday off ;)
A day late...but here is the second to last day of the challenge!
My Goals and Update!
Nutrition - Stay in my calorie range on the weekends / drink atleast 10 cups of water on weekends
Fitness - Continue to run 3x a week for atleast 30 minutes
Motivation - Organize my room/clothes and get rid of the clothes I won't wear anymore / Chalene 30 Day Challenge with Sparkgirl32
Nutrition - Well although not the weekend, today was the last day of school so I went a little overboard...ice cream sundae for lunch, happy hour for dinner. Not the healthiest choice!
Fitness - Skipped the gym today due to all the festivities, will run/gym tomorrow.
Motivation - keeping up with Chalene Challenge and I am failing on the cleaning. =(
* * *
Challenge #15 Description: You have almost made it! 30 days of remaining consistent with goals you have set for yourself! That is so amazing!!!! What changes have you seen in yourself over these past 30 days that have REALLY surprised you? How has your perspective on your goals changed since you began the challenge? Brag a little!! What accomplishments have you made in this 30 days? What habits that you've picked up are you going to continue with after this challenge is over?
Challenge #15 Answer: In this past 29 days, I have been more conscientious of the food / eating out choices I make at restaurants. I no longer think the weekends are "cheat time" and realized that eating healthy on the weekends is vital for my weightloss journey. This challenge also helped me to drink more water on the weekends, and pretty much continue my healthy regime throughout the weekend. As for fitness, my goal of running 3x a week has helped so much and kept me accountable for getting runs in. It also helped me not give up on running. However, I could have been more consistent toward the last week. I am def going to get two more runs in this week. As for the motivation, it is lacking. LOL. The Chalene Challenge went well but the cleaning did not. Yuck. I really need to make that happen now that school is out. I am VERY excited to start the new challenge on Thursday with new goals!
* * *
Chalene Johnson�s 30 Day Challenge, Day 29 Description: One final thing I want to clarify for you after yesterday's video....
Edit the minutia off your list. Don't fill your day with fluff. I know you have hundreds of projects you would like to get to. But if you focus on your success, building your business, getting that promotion and become the success that you are destined for, you'll be able to hire someone else to clean your garage, and organize your office.
Keep the painful stuff on your list. Successful people do the tough stuff. Average people run errands, play around on Facebook, go for coffee, they do THINGS... You take ACTION. Organizing your sock drawer can wait.... you have bigger fish to fry.
On to today's message...HOW!
Big dreams are a dime a dozen. A dream on paper with specifics and a deadline is a goal. The more specific your goal the more likely it will become your reality.
But how will you manifest all 10 items on your list of goals in the next 12 months?
Here's one of your actual messages to me: "Chalene....I've set measurable goals and i'm taking action everyday. But as this 30 Day challenge approaches the end...I'm starting to feel a little panicked. .In the next 12 months I've made a goal to pay of $12,000 in credit cards and have a great paying job.... but I'm not sure how I'm going to do this.
The problem is with the statement "I don't know HOW i'm going to do it." The world's most successful individuals don't make statements whey they're faced with a challenge. They ask questions. They ask HOW? How will I do this? Keep asking that question over and over again until you've exhausted a list of over 100 possibilities and take action of the top 10, but keep that list! Ask question upon a question...and assume no idea is too small or too grand.
Keep asking this question over and over again until there are so many options that you have so many possibilities success is your only option...
Chalene Johnson�s 30 Day Challenge, Day 29 Answer: I am going to succeed. How? By continually doing challenges like the EPC and keep health and fitness on the top of my priority list. If I miss a day or have a celebration, I will allow myself that. But other than that, I will be staying in my range and making sure I exercise regularly, even if it is simple at home stuff. I will continue my to do list and really try hard at succeeding at each of my EPC goals.
*One positive thing I did today: had 95 cal beer at happy hour instead of margaritas/martinis like all the other ladies :) felt good.
*One thing I am grateful for: SUMMER HAS BEGUN! =)
Ahh Day 28! I feel so good about this challenge! I am definitely doing the second round of this!
My Goals and Update!
Nutrition - Stay in my calorie range on the weekends / drink atleast 10 cups of water on weekends
Fitness - Continue to run 3x a week for atleast 30 minutes
Motivation - Organize my room/clothes and get rid of the clothes I won't wear anymore / Chalene 30 Day Challenge with Sparkgirl32
Nutrition - Stayed within range (but of course it is during the week when I am usually good about it)
Fitness - Legs day at the gym = my favorite! and some interval cardio too!
Motivation - keeping up with Chalene Challenge and I am failing on the cleaning. Maybe I am waiting to get out of school? Who knows.
* * *
Chalene Johnson�s 30 Day Challenge, Day 28 Description: You have a list and you've been making a habit of keeping it every day. You're writing it in the same place at the same time and your prioritizing the things that must be done today! You're even checking it more and more and adding tasks to it throughout the day.
One of the most important things you can do is to edit your list. Make sure that everything on your today list absolutely must be done today! If you have extra time, it will be easy for you to grab and complete tasks from your weekly list.
Ask yourself if these are the most valuable things you can be doing today.
Each day you'll want to evaluate what needs to be moved from your weekly list to your daily list.
And every week (at least once a week) check your quarterly and soon lists and move tasks up.
Plus, you're going to be thinking of new tasks. Add them to the appropriate place and then check them off your list.
You'll also want to have tasks relating to goals other than your push goal in the months to come. Don't neglect your push goal, but it's possible to act on tasks for more than one thing at a time. I didn't want to overwhelm you, but I want you to have a balanced life so feel free to start including tasks from other goals. Do this slowly and experiment with the right number of tasks per day for you. Don't make yourself crazy.
I also want you to keep a reasonable number of tasks on your list each day. Don't make it impossible. The point is you want to get done what needs to be accomplished and have time to be present and engaged in life. We are making these goals in order to enjoy and to celebrate to really live life. So, make it fun and not a chore. Keep to your habits, and continue to move forward.
You're doing great things!
Chalene Johnson�s 30 Day Challenge, Day 26 Answer: For the last week or so I have been slacking here and there with my to do list. I need to get back into the habot of doing this again. It does however keep me on track with bills I have to pay or things I need to remember. I am going to start it back up tomorrow, checking during every transition period (home to work, lunch, specials, work to gym, etc).
*one positive thing I did today: got all the small stuff done on my to do list - that I USUALLY put off for as long as possible (made the brownies, end of yr gift, gym, grocery store) GO ME!
*one thing I am grateful for: having been able to work at such a great school with such great people for the past year. I will really miss them!!! (Tomorrow is the last day of school & my job is not permanent) :(

Kitty litter as an order
- 0Dec 2, '08 by ShayRNActually, I thought it was kind of cool! We have a patient with real bad wounds. +cdif, + MRSA. Needless to say the smell was overwhelming in the room. We have used those carbon air fresheners in the past for gangrene patients, but our medical director wrote an order for a bowl of kitty litter to be placed under the bed to absorb the odors in the room. I am off for the next day, will let you all know how it works.
- 0Dec 2, '08 by lpnfloridaInteresting, and to think outside of the cats need, I use to keep a bag in my car trunk. Of course that was in case I got stuck and needed to spread it under my tires for traction when I got stuck on ice.Wi/Mn not here in florida.
- 1Dec 2, '08 by kellyc034I have seen the kitty litter used a couple times with patients who have bad wounds. The hospice nurse brought it in and we now keep a couple bags of it on our floor. Just pop some in a pt bucket, set it under the bed, and it really helps.

- 1Dec 2, '08 by soulofmeMeow!
- 1Dec 2, '08 by NewRN2008hey, good to know!! tx!!
- 2Dec 2, '08 by lpn1313I've seen brewed coffee grounds used before. That helps too.
- 1Dec 2, '08 by racing-mom4We use fresh coffee right from the can--I would much rather smell coffee than cat litter--even clean litter has a smell to it.
- 0Dec 2, '08 by FlightlineI want to know how this kitty-litter thing works out. Please come back and report your results.
- 9Dec 2, '08 by FireStarterRNGee, I thought this was going to be a 'patient giving away kittens from her hospital bed' thread. :chuckle

A Long Half Hour
Martin Chandler | 4:06pm gmt 21 Nov 2010
Stephen Chalke is one of the finest cricket writers we have - on his favourite subject of English county cricket in the three decades after the second world war he is always at his very best. He has just published two new books. One of them,
A Long Half Hour
, is vintage Chalke, as he reflects on time spent talking to six fascinating characters from the post war era. One of the six is Bomber Wells who died in 2008. Writer and subject, over a number of years, became great friends and it was entirely appropriate when Bomber slipped away that Chalke should write a tribute to him. What was written was, inevitably, by definition an obituary, but is much better described as a celebration of Bomber's life and times:-
Bryan 'Bomber' Wells (1930-2008)
Bryan 'Bomber' Wells was one of English cricket's greatest characters.
Born in Gloucester in July 1930, the son of a blacklisted trade unionist, he never really changed from the happy-go-lucky club cricketer he had been when he was first summoned to play for the county.
He learned the game during the wartime years of Double British Summer Time, when they played cricket in the street till the sun went down: rough-and-ready games with a tennis ball, a lump of wood for a bat and stumps made out of bean sticks. From that he progressed through various local sides: the Harlequins, the Nondescripts, Gloucester City.
He was an off-spinner but hardly a conventional one. He had a wide girth and a rolling gait, he ambled in off one or two paces, and he bowled whether the batsman was ready or not. This last aspect of his bowling was the subject of some wonderful stories, which he never tired of telling in that broad 'Glorster' accent of his.
One, from his early days, involved a Gloucester Nondescripts match at Witney where he bowled an opposing batsman, the Oxfordshire player Len Hemming, and the Nondies skipper, not sure Hemming had been ready, called him back. "We played all away matches, you see, and we didn't like to offend anyone." The batsman returned rather sheepishly and was immediately bowled a second time. Again it was not clear that he had been ready - "but, before our captain could say a word, Len Hemming swung round. 'Bill, if you think I'm staying here for him to get his bloody hat-trick, you've got another thing coming.'"
By 1951 Bomber's bowling was attracting attention. He was summoned to play for the county second eleven against Glamorgan, and he took six wickets in each innings. Then the following week, in a story he told many times over the years, he was sitting with his girlfriend on a park bench on Friday evening when Tom Goddard, Gloucester's legendary off-spinner, appeared.
"Are you Bomber Wells? ... Well, get down to Bristol tomorrow. You're playing against Sussex."
"He was just a boy from the sticks," Arthur Milton recalled. "He strolled in, changed, came out. Nothing worried him."
"Why should it?" Bomber would reply. "It was just another game, wasn't it? All I ever wanted to do was to bowl."
The captain, Sir Derrick Bailey, did not ask him to bowl till after lunch. Then Bomber came in off his two paces. Some say that Sir Derrick, fielding at mid-off, walked in for the first ball, turned, went back to his mark and walked in again for the third ball.
Imagine what it was like to be a fast bowler at the other end. "One time I was walking down to third man at the end of my over," Frank McHugh tells, "and I heard this shout. And the ball whistled past me for four. Then I found out it was the second ball of the over. I'd hardly have my sweater on, and in no time I'd be taking it off for the next over."
But for all this Bomber was a fine bowler. He had powerful shoulders, a fast arm and a perfect action at point of delivery, and the ball came down much more quickly than the batsman expected. Not only that. His standard fare was off-breaks, but he had control of a wide variety of other deliveries: seamers, floaters and leg-breaks. And he could change his pace with no discernible sign. "It used to bore me silly to bowl two balls the same," he would say.
"He just stood at the wicket and turned his arm over," a later opponent recalled. "John Edrich had this ritual. He always looked down three or four times when the bowler was in his run-up. Well, Bomber would be standing there, ready to let the ball go. 'Are you ready, our John?' he'd ask in his broad Gloucester accent, and John couldn't get in synch. He couldn't get his four nods in."
Bomber took six Sussex wickets that first day, and he became a regular in the Gloucestershire side, alongside John Mortimore and Sam Cook, ahead of David Allen. In 1956, that golden summer for slow bowlers, only Don Shepherd and Jim Laker among off-spinners took more wickets than his 123.
Allen, Mortimore and Cook all played for England, but there were some on the county circuit who thought Bomber the best of the lot - though perhaps he offered less in the batting and fielding departments.
As a batsman his only aim was to entertain, the cry of 'Bomber's in' enough to clear the bars. He had only one real shot, a great agricultural mow over mid-wicket, but it was spectacular when it connected. His scrapbook contained a newspaper report of a Sunday benefit match at Stinchcombe, against several first-class bowlers, when he came in at 91 for nine and hit a hundred in 35 minutes. "They must have lost the ball four times," he said. "They were building houses next to the ground, and they kept scrambling over this wall into the building site."
His running between the wickets occasioned many stories - like the mix-up with Sam Cook that ended with Sam run out. "For God's sake, call," Sam cried out, and back came the reply: "Tails." Or the time Derbyshire's Derek Morgan picked up the ball and out-sprinted him to the bowler's end: "That's not fair, Derek," Bomber protested. "I've got pads on."
He even had a story of a day at Bristol when both batsmen had runners and such was the confusion he caused that all four men finished at the same end.
As a fielder he was even less like a modern cricketer. A leisurely figure on the boundary, he liked to chat to the nearby spectators, on one occasion - he reckoned - contriving to hold a catch while juggling a cup of tea in his other hand. His approach was not to everybody's taste, particularly when the game was nearing a tense conclusion, but even his disciplinarian captain George Emmett found it hard not to see the funny side of Bomber. As Michael Parkinson wrote, 'There was a summer's day in his face and laughter in his soul.'
In 1959, with Tom Graveney as captain, David Allen replaced him in the side, being picked for England before the year was out. Bomber played in the second eleven, where his captain was once more George Emmett. Then Tom Graveney was injured, George Emmett resumed the first-team captaincy, and Bomber took charge of the seconds, leading the team to first place in the newly established Second Eleven Championship. It became one of his jokes: "I'm the only man who's captained Gloucestershire to a championship title."
The following year he went to Nottinghamshire to bowl on the batsman's paradise at Trent Bridge. He was attracted, he said, by the beautiful ground and by the larger helpings served at meal times. "Not like the little salads we used to have every day at Bristol, one slice of cold meat so thin you could see through it."
"What do you want to go up there for, Bomber?" Sam Cook said. "You'll end up being cannon fodder." But Bomber enjoyed the challenge, and in his first summer there he bowled more overs than anybody else in England, taking 120 wickets. "The great thing about Bomber," Tony Brown says, "is that he was such a good bowler on good wickets."
He lost his place in 1965, and he had a story about that, too.
"Some statistician worked out that I'd taken 999 wickets so they offered me the game against Gloucester at Bristol. They said, 'Somebody down there will give you their wicket.' But I said, 'No. Plenty of people have got a thousand wickets. I bet no one's got 999.'"
Alas, the story had a sad ending.
"Three months later they found I'd only got 998."
For Bomber statisticians were in the same category as coaches, people who suffocated the natural fun of the game. He loved the stories, both from his own playing days and from further back in history, and he loved to watch people playing naturally, expressing their character and not moulded into a standard way of doing things.
"I could bowl standing still," he would say. "If you're a natural, everything comes easy. You can do what you like and get away with murder. If you're coached, unless you stay in that groove, you're struggling, aren't you?"
Bomber had started out as an apprentice printer, and after cricket he stayed for many years in Nottingham, working once more as a printer. Then, when his wife Pat died, he returned to his beloved Gloucester where he was lucky to meet Mary and to enjoy 18 happy years with her. He suffered a major stroke in 1998, but such was his spirit that, with Mary's steadfast support, he fought his way back to enjoy another ten years, years in which he continued to tell his stories on the boundary edge throughout the county: at the Cheltenham Festival, at the Spa ground, at cricket matches of all sorts.
For Bomber, cricket was a people's game. Whether you played for England or for Gloucester City third eleven, it made no difference. It was a game of sunshine and laughter, of human beings revealing themselves - and, at its best, of wonderful artistry. He was not a religious man but, on a sunny day at Cheltenham, when he was settled in his favourite corner beyond the scoreboard, his conversation captured that sense of timelessness that makes cricket such a special game.
He expressed it superbly in a foreword I helped him to write to a book about Gloucestershire cricket:
Robinswood Hill still looks down on the Wagon Works ground, but now the county plays in the shadow of Gloucester Cathedral - at the Archdeacon Meadow. When I was a boy, I used to pick bulrushes there, when it was just scrubland, and now it maintains the tradition of county cricket here in the city of Gloucester. How many runs Hammond would have scored on its placid surface, I can't imagine.
The County Ground in Bristol is no longer the open field it was in my day. It is a modern cricket stadium with all the facilities. But for the true cricket lover there can be nowhere like Cheltenham College on a Festival day - with the sun shining, Matt Windows cutting his way to a hundred and the folk around the boundary reminiscing about days gone by. Reminiscing about Emmett and Zaheer, some even about Hammond and Parker, where once they sat and reminisced about Jessop and Grace. One day they will reminiscence about Russell and Windows.
Generation upon generation of great Gloucestershire cricketers. Long may they keep coming - as long as the sun shines over the River Severn.
For certain, the crowds at Cheltenham will be reminiscing about Bomber for years to come. He brought so much joy into so many lives.

Some good tales about 'Bomber' - a great character of the game, and worse bowlers have played for England.
His obit in the 2009 Wisden actually relates a lot of those, leading me to wonder if it was written by Chalke. The two collaborated in his autobiography, One More Run.

Bulldogger hoping to cash in at Okotoks
Rodeo: Lee Graves aiming for CFR invite
By: Bruce Campbell
| Posted: Wednesday, Aug 27, 2014 06:00 am
A Black Diamond steer wrestler is looking at the 2014 season like the Paul Brandt hit Canadian Man.
"I have been staying in Canada, I am kind of slowing down," said the 43-year-old Graves. "I am focused on making the Canadian Finals Rodeo this year. People don't realize how hard it is to make the CFR and NFR (National Finals Rodeo) in the same year. It's a lot of miles and I have done it for a long time."
Graves would like to bulldog at one of the biggest Canadian rodeo parties of the year, the CFR in Edmonton in November. Graves has won the CFR five times and has two world titles in his illustrious career. He sits one out of qualifying for the CFR, as Graves is 13th in the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association standings with $12,675 as of Aug. 20.
The Lone Ranger, Clayton Moore, sits in 12th with $14,340.
"I have been in that spot before — I have gone to the CFR in first-place and I have gone in last. I just have to go to rodeos and do as good as I can," Graves said.
A high priority on Graves' 2014 Western Canada tour is the Okotoks Pro Rodeo this weekend. Graves comes out of the gate at the Murray Arena Saturday night.
"Okotoks has a nice little rodeo," Graves said. "I can't recall really the last time I have won a cheque there before… Last year, I had a no time. It's a small venue, the conditions are a little tough there, but it's the same there for everybody."
One of the reasons Graves hasn't been to Okotoks as much as he would like, is because he already secured his spot in the CFR in the past.
"I'm usually going to Armstrong (B.C.), Ellensburg (Washington) and Walla Walla (Washington) that weekend to try and make it to the NFR," Graves said. "I haven't been to Okotoks that many times."
Although Graves doesn't plan to dip south of the border this weekend, he will still be putting in enough miles to rival a Red Arrow bus driver.
He will be going to Armstrong and Merritt, then a bulldog in Okotoks Saturday. Then it is back to Armstrong.
Sounds like a lot, but it's a casual drive when you are used to competing in rodeos in two countries for past Labour Day weekends.
"I will be leaving on a Thursday and home on a Sunday night," Graves said with a chuckle. "That's a lot easier than the Planes, Trains and Automobiles it used to be. Last year I went to Okotoks, Armstrong, Merritt, Ellensburg, and Walla Walla in four days.
"This year is pretty easy."
Although Graves will be in Okotoks, he doesn't know if his better half of his highlight reel career will be there.
His horse, Jesse, a multiple Professional Rodeo Horse of the Year winners, might not make the trip to Okotoks.
"I am not even sure I will have him there," Graves said. "I might just live him in Armstrong because I have to go back and forth.
"Jesse is doing real good. He's enjoying just cruising up here."
Graves won the $100,000 Calgary Stampede in 2010. He was inducted in the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame in 2006.
Other bulldoggers from the foothills area competing at the Okotoks rodeo Brock Radford and Jonny Webb.

Yes, great idea! More of these stunning effects!
God rays, dynamic depth of field, night vision scopes & binoc, thermal/infrared scopes, rainbows, dynamic wet surfaces with reflections, and many other effects. SECOND PATCH RELEASED.
Yes, great idea! More of these stunning effects!
that looks the business.
Looks great, as if a smoke grenade or something is clearing.
Won't be part of shaders 2.0? Sad panda :(
Sorry, but this feature requires some serious work to become mature, that's why I won't be able to finish it soon. But you'll have plenty of other nice effects in DS 2.0 :-)
I'm completely okay with it taking time, and understand that... but now I'm really interested in whether this was a side project for the shaders, or if this had to make the cutting room floor so that the 2.0 could be readied for a release... :D
A little of both I'd say ;)
Glad to see you're still working on this mod. :)
I do! It's just I don't have the time I'd need to, unfortunately...
That always sucks. :P Hopefully everything works out, though. :)
Some more, rather cool light effects caused by the indoor light shaft system I'm experimenting with (won't be part of DS 2.0).

NorthShore University HealthSystem specialties were rated high in U.S. News & World's report's annual Best Hospitals rankings. Read the press release below for more information:
Evanston, Illinois – July 15, 2014 – Eleven NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) specialties are recognized as being top performers nationally in the U.S. News & World Report's annual Best Hospitals survey. NorthShore was nationally ranked in Gastroenterology & GI Surgery (#43) and rated as high-performing in the following:
- Cancer
- Diabetes & Endocrinology
- Ear, Nose & Throat
- Geriatrics
- Gynecology
- Nephrology
- Neurology & Neurosurgery
- Orthopaedics
- Pulmonology
- Urology
The evaluation looked at about 5,000 hospitals nationwide, ranking them in 16 different specialties. Less than 3 percent of all hospitals earned a national ranking in any specialty. The annual rankings, now in their 25th year, recognize hospitals that excel in treating patients who face particularly intensive surgery, a challenging medical condition, or added risk because of multiple health issues or age.
"We are very proud of the outstanding care provided at NorthShore University HealthSystem and to once again have that care recognized in the Best Hospitals rankings," said Mark Neaman, President and Chief Executive Officer of NorthShore. "We have a comprehensive, highly integrated system of physicians and hospitals at NorthShore. We work hard to provide patients with the best outcomes and exceptional experiences every day."
The specialty rankings and data were produced for U.S. News by RTI International, a research organization. The rankings are available athttp://health.usnews.com/best-

text: Veterans' Memorial Cross Bombed in Oregon Print article Send a Tip by William Bigelow 26 Aug 2013 post a comment A bomb was planted next to a war memorial cross in Coos Bay, Oregon that exploded and damaged the the cement structure. The same monument has been the source of controversy in the past; the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), a prominent atheist organization which fights against public displays of Christianity, sent a letter to the city demanding the cross be taken down. Hiram Sasser, director of litigation at the Liberty Institute which was hired by the city of Coos Bay to ascertain whether it violated the Constitution to have the Mingo Park Vietnam War Memorial cross, told Fox News: We unfortunately are now to the point where explosive devices are being placed next to crosses. These people will stop at nothing to intimidate communities to tear down their veteran's memorials. Now the crazies are trying to blow one up. This memorial is right next to the area where many children play. A child could have been killed or wounded by the IED exploding. FFRF attorney Rebecca Markert had written a letter to the city stating, "We have no objection to the veterans' memorials. Our objection is to the message of endorsement of Christianity over other religions and non-religions." Sasser challenged the FFRF to stop "fanning the flame of hostility toward veterans' memorials. There are consequences for fomenting hatred for what were once obscure veterans' memorials. The FFRF should immediately condemn this dangerous criminal act." Police have identified no suspects or possible motive in the case at this time. Photo Source: KCBY-TV

Just a quick question to get an idea of what remote desktop software you all, and to what extent? At the moment we use VNC on the staff room computers in order to help over the phone but that's about it. To what extent do the rest of you provision remote assistance for staff members?
