Marwa Al-Sherbini
July 20, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Geoffrey Cook, MMNS
A thirty-one year-old Egyptian Muslim pharmacist plaintiff — four months pregnant with her second child — while wearing her traditional Hijab, was viciously stabbed eighteen times, and died in a Dresden courtroom on July 1st — by an alleged naturalized German attacker. Previously, he had accused her of being a "Terrorist" because of her Islamic dress, and ripping her hijab off her head. Unfortunately, such Islamaphobia is only too common in Europe even though Germany, with its horrendous history of instigating the Holocaust against the Jews and other minorities during World II, has some of the most stringent hate-crime laws in the world.
Her husband, who tried to intervene, was, also, stabbed by the attacker and, then, shot in the leg by a security officer who "mistook" him for the attacker. Al-Sherbini, who was not only pregnant, but was, also, cruelly murdered in front of her three-year old son!
She was about to testify against her impending murderer when this vicious assault took place. The prosecutor at the proceedings had just described the accused as having a deep hatred against Muslims.
Your reporter is a regular listener to Deutche Velle, but they and most of the German privately owned media there largely ignored or played down the incident. The BBC (the British Broadcasting Corporation) gave suitable examination of the episode as did the Islamic press and media.
In a press release from The Muslim Council of Great Britain (MCB), they "…urged political leaders and opinion formers to end their muted response to the recent wave of anti-Muslim violence…"
The Middle Eastern Institute's Editor's Blog noted that the case "…has been little noted in the Western media [especially in the U.S.]…the crime itself has outraged the Egyptian[s]…her body was met at [the] Cairo airport; thousands…turned out for her funeral in Alexandria……the opposition forces … [are]…particularly incensed [especially the Muslim Brotherhood who have called her the head-scarf martyr]…the official media as well…these popular…outcries… [have become a]…backfire on the unpopular [Mubarak] Regime…"
The Tehran Times described the unofficial response to the martyred Mother's death in Saxony with spontaneous demonstrations on the Streets of the Iranian capital which included protests in front of Deutschland's Persian Embassy, and a funeral in replication of hers in Alexandria both in protest and to honor to her soul. Officially, "….The Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned the German ambassador…to protest…the murder…of the woman. Iran criticized the German government for its slow response…and…that Germany is responsible for… insuring the security of minorities…including Muslims…"
In April 2007 I was privileged to attend a conference organized by Hatem Baziam of U.C. Berkeley on Islamaphobia. Your scribe has never had a chance to comment about the perceptions expressed there on the European version of the phenomenon which are different than the American practice in that, because of the former European form of Colonialism over Muslims lands– which for the most part the Americans did not follow – the social class on the other side of the Atlantic include more individuals – with the right to emigrate — in competition with the traditional nationalities of their new countries for working class jobs. This does not follow in the Sherbini case because they were professionals, but that in itself might been the issue that shot off her attacker to violence in a society where its brutal former right-wing is once again reasserting itself.
The Western scholar on Islam, Peter Gottscalk, noted that "Islamophobia is the making of Muslims into enemies." He talked about the Danish cartoon which so outraged the Islamic ummah by portraying the followers of Mohammed (PBUH) with hedonism in contrast to Occidental secularism. Political cartons, such as that are powerful negative weapons. This one was applied against Islamic immigrants. A cartoon's symbolism can caricaturize and stereotype another people. Fundamentalist Christians often associate Muslims with their (the "Christian's") simplistic theological concept of "Satan." Modern Islamophobia has re-manipulated the female into an oppressed one, too. This makes the violence done to Marwa totally illogical even in the relation to Islam-bashing, and, furthermore, it became no more than gratuitous aggression. Thus, on the whole, it is felt that Islam is an "… omnipresent…posing a threat;" therefore, "…violent
actions against…Muslims… [are made]…more palpable."
A Mohammed Tamigid pointed out that both Islamaphobia and Islamaphillia are both elements of the West's [neo-]Imperialism, and are part of a systemic racism. The cultural economy of the hate/love relationship here in the West have encouraged a carrot and stick methodology within contemporary Imperialism. This (trade) Imperialism (which includes Globalism and neo-liberalism) has been expanding about the planet. Even to Saxon province, where the former European Colonials are free to settle, to the resentment of the traditional citizens of the Nineteenth Century nation-state of that and other in other European regions, and with this crumbling worldwide economy can only lead to resentment, and to simplistic racist / sectarian blame – especially amongst the lower classes of the guest nations. Islam has had differences with Europe from the beginning – both in religion and imperialistic structures. Islamaphobia and Islamaphillia are two sides of the same coin. "Islamaphobia only gives reasons for the powerlessness" of the Metropoles (Centers of the Empire).

Needs Outweigh Resources for State Infrastructure
Former Transportation Secretary calls report 'blinding flash of the obvious'
The message was clear from two committees reporting to the Texas Transportation Commission on Thursday – there are no one-size-fits-all solutions to the state's infrastructure needs and the wants and needs for creation and maintenance of highways throughout the state are much greater than the state's ability to finance them.
In addition to the committee reports, the Commission also heard an update on the Texas Department of Transportation's (TxDOT) ongoing modernization plan. "The process is beginning to move forward," said Eric Gleason, TxDOT's Director of Public Transportation. He said implementation of some of the projects is coming into focus and "the pace is quickening." However, Gleason, noted that human resource availability to put some of the recommendations into place timely while continuing to fulfill day-to-day operations of the agency is a concern.
Three members of the Strategic Research Program Advisory Committee testified before the Commission Thursday. According to Rick Collins, director of the Research and Technology Implementation Office at TxDOT, the committee is charged with making recommendations to TxDOT regarding research topics that should be explored relating to transportation in the state. Those research projects will be awarded to universities throughout the state who respond to an upcoming request for proposals. Through these topics and the research, the committee will help prepare the department for some of the challenges the state and TxDOT will face in the future.
The committee held its first meeting in August and told commissioners this week that they quickly realized there was a lack of sustainability for maintaining and creating new infrastructure.
Committee member Mary Peters, former U.S. Transportation Secretary, said the committee's report might appear to be a "blinding flash of the obvious." She said it would be important not to reinvent the wheel but to "bring data to bear and focus on where this industry and the state can get more money" for its transportation infrastructure needs.
Another committee member, Ken Allen, told commissioners that as the committee was putting together its "wish list" for research projects that might result in a better way to use transportation funding for more projects, it narrowed the scope to three subjects, which he said were "deliberately kept very broad for the researchers."
Among the topics was what he called "demand leveling," or getting the most out of existing infrastructure, as well as innovative financing options and "managing the decline," or prioritizing the use of limited funds. Regarding funding, Hall said the question becomes "how to best spend the money we have," which he said would have to be "spent incredibly wisely."
Similar messages were brought to the commission by Tim Brown, Bell County commissioner, who serves on the I-35 Advisory Committee.
Brown told the Commission that his group initially came up with little more than a list of projects. However, he said that illustrates that there is no one-size-fits-all solution because the solution changes from one geographic region to another.
Saying a variety of rail components will have to be part of the future solutions for the I-35 projects, the county commissioner said it became glaringly obvious that "we've got to find some more ways of funding those projects.
"Funding seems to be the common denominator we keep coming back to," he said. Brown noted that the committee came up with "appropriate solutions, but no funding stream."
The challenge for the committee, he said, is to "identify what needs to be done" and then come back to try to find ways to fund it.
"Transportation is so important that we're going to have to get serious about funding," said Brown.
In other action, the Transportation Commission took action to add Interstate 69 to the state highway system, allowing TxDOT officials to label the first Texas stretch of the nearly 1,000-mile interstate since I-69 received federal high-priority route designation more than a decade ago. This action will allow TxDOT to add the concurrent designation of I-69 to a 6.2-mile section of US 77 between I-37 and SH 44 in Nueces County without additional funding, right-of-way or construction because the existing highway already meets interstate standards.

Why is #23 thinking hamburgers?
Liz Clay is the artist behind Cici Art Factory. As a graduate of Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design in Vancouver, Canada, Liz believes that little eyes deserve to see art that sparks imaginations and activates rooms. "In a world where everything is becoming digital, I believe its so important to expose children to art that has a hand-done look to it. The lines should be a little wobbly, the colors should look rich and textural, and the images imaginative."
Material: Giclee Canvas Print
Brand: Cici Art Factory
Origin: Imported
Cici Art Factory is the home of art "for little eyes" – whimsical prints and paintings that will spark your children's imaginations and give them a place to dream about when they fall asleep at night. Vancouver artist (and mom-of-three) Liz Clay decided start Cici's Art Factory to make art for kids after having a couple of her own – she believes that living with three daughters gives her a firsthand perspective on what works (and what doesn't!). The art is both old-fashioned and modern, with pink-cheeked children adrift in fantasy worlds printed on giclee canvas, or repeating patterns of birds or chicks (the "Lotsa" series is a big success in the nursery department) that are each hand-painted, so that your child can see and feel the chunky texture and rich pigments of the paint.

Crisis in eastern Congo
The situation in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo) is tense. Members of the M23 rebel group have entered the provincial capital of Goma. In a resolution adopted on 20 November, the UN Security Council called on the rebels to withdraw immediately and lay down their arms. Many people have fled their homes. Foreign Minister Westerwelle has likewise called on the rebels to halt their military offensive and respect the territorial integrity of the Congo. "Any further destabilization of the east and the country as a whole must be prevented," Westerwelle warned on 22 November.
An estimated further 60,000 people have been driven from their homes by the latest violence. The UN puts the number of displaced people in the country at over 2.4 million. To alleviate their suffering, the German Government has in 2012 made 7.3 million euros available in humanitarian aid. Hervé Ladsous, the head of the UN blue helmet mission in DR Congo, has voiced concern over the humanitarian situation in the region. Besides the large numbers of refugees, grave human rights violations such as mass executions and the recruitment of children have been reported. Those responsible for such crimes would be held to account, Ladsous warned on 21 November.
International appeals to the rebels
Both UN Secretary General Ban Ki moon and the Security Council have condemned the offensive by the M23 rebel group – named after what was actually a peace accord concluded on 23 March 2009 – and demanded an immediate end to the fighting. Soldiers from the UN blue helmet mission MONUSCO are endeavouring to protect the civilian population. On 20 November the Security Council adopted resolution 2076 (2012) on the situation in the DR Congo.
Security Council resolution
The resolution strongly condemns the rebel attacks and calls for the rebel forces to withdraw immediately and lay down their arms. It likewise demands that any and all external support for the M23 cease immediately.
The UN Secretary General is requested, moreover, to report in conjunction with the African Union (AU) and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) on the allegations that the M23 is receiving external support. The rebels are suspected of receiving support from neighbouring countries, an assumption shared by the group of experts of the UN sanctions committee for DR Congo.

In resolution 2078 (2012) adopted on 28 November the Security Council renewed its call for an end to acts of violence and external support for the rebels and reaffirmed the sanctions and arms embargo in force since 2008.
UN Security Council Resolution 2078 (2012) (PDF, 45 KB)
At their extraordinary summit held on 24 November in Kampala, the heads of state and government of the Great Lakes region expressed their concern over the deteriorating security situation, which they viewed as a serious threat to the peace, security and stability of the entire region. They urged the M23 to refrain from further acts of violence and withdraw from Goma. UN Secretary General Ban Ki moon welcomed the summit outcome and called on the M23 to implement what had been agreed. He encouraged all sides to enter into a dialogue aimed at addressing the causes of the conflict, a spokesperson of the Secretary General explained.
Confidence building and cooperation key to solution
In the same vein Foreign Minister Westerwelle noted on 22 November that "building confidence and cooperating in earnest are – especially between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo – the key to a sustainable solution." He welcomed the talks taking place between Presidents Kabila of the Congo, Kagame of Rwanda and Museveni of Uganda. "Their aim must be to prevent military conflicts, end the violence in eastern Congo and find political solutions to the region's many problems," Westerwelle continued. All parties were called upon to respect human rights and protect the civilian population.
At their meeting in Brussels on 19 November EU Foreign Ministers likewise strongly condemned the M23 offensive.
Making headway on reform
In their Council Conclusions on the DR Congo, EU Foreign Ministers have also called on the Congolese Government to make effective efforts to establish the rule of law and a functioning administration and to ensure the security and protection of the civilian population. To this end it was vital, they note, to accelerate the reform of the security sector, which the EU was supporting.
For this purpose the EU has established two missions, EUSEC RD Congo and EUPOL RD Congo, operating under Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) auspices. The aim of both missions is to assist the Congolese Government in its efforts to take forward the reform of the security sector now under way. The main focus of EUSEC is the Congolese army, while the main focus of EUPOL is the work of the Congolese police force.
Protecting the civilian population
On 20 November Foreign Minister Westerwelle urged the need for "all sides" to enable the UN peace mission MONUSCO to fulfil its mandate to protect civilians. The Congolese Government was duty-bound to do everything possible to bring the situation under control and launch a political process.
The United Nations has had a peace mission in DR Congo since 1999. In 2010 the mission's name was changed from MONUC to MONUSCO. With more than 17,000 military personnel, it is the largest and most expensive peace mission anywhere in the world. To help it fulfil its mandate, MONUSCO has an annual budget of some 1.3 billion US dollars.

Updated: March 26, 2013 9:49PM
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to begin hearing two days of arguments Tuesday in cases involving gay marriage. A look at the gay marriage issue by the numbers:
— About 9 million: The number of Americans who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, according to a 2011 study by a scholar at the UCLA School of Law's Williams Institute.
— 9 plus the District of Columbia: The number of states that issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The states are Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont and Washington.
— 30: The number of states, including California, that ban same-sex marriage in their state constitutions. Ten states bar them under state laws. New Mexico law is silent on the issue.
— Almost 9: The number of years gay couples have been marrying in Massachusetts, the first state to allow same-sex couples to wed. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled in November 2003 that it was unconstitutional to bar same-sex couples from marrying in the state. The court allowed weddings to start May 17, 2004.
— 49: The percentage of Americans who now favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally, according to a Pew Research Center poll conducted in mid-March. Forty-four percent are opposed.
— 142: The number of days in 2008 that gay marriage was legal in California before voters banned it with Proposition 8.
— About 18,000: The number of gay couples that married in California during the window when it was legal.
— 9: The number of justices on the Supreme Court. Six of the justices are married, all of them to people of the opposite sex. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a widow, Justice Sonia Sotomayor is divorced and Justice Elena Kagan has never married.

As everyone has explained... "tagger" kits are usually done in 72dpi and can't be expanded for use in full-sized pages [usually done at 300dpi which will print nicely. If you try to enlarge tagger elements on a page size, they will look "pixilated" or blurry or full of dots.
PattyB, had not thought to use any tagger sizes for siggy but bet they would look fine if you set the background at 72dpi before adding them. Only have a few of the tagger sizes once I discovered what they were.
Check out our Great Tutorials section!
I did find this info with HOW-TO as well!
Create a new document with the dimensions 1000 pixels high and 3000 pixels wide and 72 dpi, and then decorate to your heart's content! Then resize to 100x300 pixels, save and add to your signature!
Go to your settings page, click on signature, and upload the image just like you would with your avatar.

LA based designers stepped out into the spotlight on Thursday, March 18th 2010 with their muses. I believe that LA based designers do not recieve the recognition that they deserve. LA FASHION WEEK is a week to celebrate the coming forth of these merging designers from Maggie Berry, Jesus Estrada, Emiliano Moreno, Lourdes Chavez, David Tupaz, Mona Thalheimer, Mila Hermanovski, Oliver Tolentino, Hanna Hartnell, Michele Bohbot, Lauren Elaine, Jenny Han, Ella Brown, Sue Wong.
LA Fashion week is NOT NY Fashion week nor will it ever be….but LA is charismatic, quirky, witty, and lighthearted.

Chicago treated us awfully well. (And San Diego scored 10 runs today, so although they lost, the Jed-Hoyer-ditching-the-Cubbies-for-a-West-Coast-vacay theory still seems increasingly likely.) He was probably all, "I miss you, I'm going back home to the West Coast!" and the Padres were all, "Yay! Come! We'll make you cupcakes!"
I'm a good hipster. That was the first thing I thought of when I wrote that.
So he did (go back home to the West Coast, that is). He also snuck some magic potion in Xavier Nady and quite probably Matt Cain, too. In case you're wondering, that's not a doping reference. It was a reference to the greatest series of comic books that have ever been created, Asterix and Obelix. They're French comics, but they've almost all been translated into English and if you haven't read them, you seriously need to go do it now.
Alternately, read all the statistics about the records the Giants and Dodgers would have to have to end in a tie for first place. It's a little mindblowing. In a good way. A very, very good way. Additionally, the A's have the same record as the Yankees now and Bud Selig is more in love with the second wildcard than ever. Needless to say, he and I are going to have a little talk.
But I admit it: this second wildcard is a lot of fun, even if it's kind of morally abhorrent or whatever.
Anyway, have a lovely Labor Day, peoples! The Diamondbacks will be in town tomorrow and over in Oakland, Billy Beane is in a fabulous mood. (But he still looks nothing like Brad Pitt.)

Post those workouts here!
Day 8 of 21 Day Fix .
Total Body Cardio. This is 4 rounds of 2 moves each for 60 seconds with a rest of 15 seconds or 20 between plus a cool down. It is to me truly tough . Sweat is dripping off of me so I think that is good. LOL
35 minutes on the treadmill for me this morning. Not having super hot sunny weather on this vacay but it is not too bad.
Have a great day Sisters!
I'm not a fan of super-hot weather, Chris, but I hope yours improves to just how you like it! Great job on getting on the TM.
Already more than a third done with the 21 Day Fix, Bama--good for you! That does sound like a good one--those high intensity intervals will burn fat like nothing else.
I can't remember if you have something new on your schedule for today or not, Sue, but I hope you enjoy your new workouts this month. I saw the sporty one in the magazine last night and thought it looked good.
We started with 5 Turkish get-ups this morning, then did 4 rounds of the 7 Minute Workout, 5 more Turkish get-ups and then Ab Ripper. So I'm dripping with you, Bama!
Have a great day, Sweat Sisters!
Afternoon sisters, since here there is only 3 minutes to go LOL
On tap for me today....Fitness magazines Supersets (12 reps, 3 sets) and MWF evening will do Don't Miss a Muscle 2 sets 12 reps
Bama, awesome workout and you too Chris, especially on vacay and so glad the weather isn't too hot either. Molasses, we got up early, had breakfast and then made up a pie from my old BHG cookbook....a homemade graham cracker crust (Chuck did) while I mixed up the 1/3 the fat Philly cream cheese, Cool Whip and some blueberries (Winco's)...plus I had some with Snap, Crackle and Pop this morning too...they were delicious...another PLUS to Winco LOL
So yes a bit late but enjoyed my workout just had a hard time with sitting up and doing the bicycle, so I reverted to the old fashioned way!
Great workout Molasses, I was a bit warm this a.m. too had my fan on and my a/c too, along with my bottle of water LOL
Well off to put the filling in the crust as it's warmed back up enough and the crust is ready.
Afternoon ladies,
We were up early this a.m., just didn't get on line till much later as you lovely sisters already know.
The blueberry cheesecake is now in the fridge getting nice and cold for tonight's dessert. Hoping to replace some of the ice cream nights for fruit pies, turnovers (next up on our agenda, making up pastry crusts for fruit turnovers and for our own food type versions of hot pockets LOL).
Got my mail checked and now off to make up some folders and reorganize my DVD club mail file better before it's time for lunch.
Hope you are having a good day, so far and the rest of the day goes well,
Day 9 of 21 day fix. Upper Body Fix. I am glistening .
Baron Baptiste Power Yoga, Level One, for me today. I've got some soreness from something yesterday so the stretching felt good.
Have a great day, Sweat Sisters~
Afternoon sisters,
Another busy morning, more cooking and then the dreaded vacuum cleaning....my dream is a Sears canister vacuum (like I had in the old days)!
As for workouts today....Evening workout WHM's Total body tightening
I was a bit "hot" put down the a/c and had the fan on doing my Supersets yesterday and the one last night was good as I was tired.
In fact still tired today. Old age really stinks LOL
Bama, great workout and Molasses, glad the stretching made the aches feel good. Me too, today achy and the workout I do tonight have a lot of Pilates moves so should do the trick.
Chris, I wish I was there with you on the island. Have fun.
Supreme 90 Legs today. I'd like to try to get in one round of the 7 Minute Workout and/or a set of Turkish get-ups later, but we'll see.
Another busy morning, hence the afternoon posting....did my Fitness magazines Supersets (12 reps, 3 sets) and wow was a tired, hot puppy....LOL Evening workout will do Don't Miss a Muscle 2 sets 12 reps
Molasses, great workout and hoping you can get the 7 Minute Workout or the Turkish get up later....if you do the Turkish you will have to give us a report on it LOL
Well now I am off to do all my normal morning checks of stories, on line stuff and mail. Got my food and workout logged and talked to you lovely ladies.
Bama, hope all is well with you.
Chris take some deep breaths and a big SMILE for me, if I was there viewing the beautiful scenery!
Hey Gals,
Tuesday was chest and shoulders then lots of walking, today more walking as we did a museum today. Weather was nice today with sun but not too hot. The fog kept rolling up the harbour and then out again then back in for good. We have some indoor stuff on tap for the rain that we might get tomorrow. I am loving the relaxed vacay with no real agenda.
Great workouts ladies!! Sue there is lots here in Nova Scotia to see. You would love it.
Have a great night!
Good Evening Sisters, I can't believe I forgot to post this morning. Hmmm, what's going on in this mind of mine.
I did Day 10 of 21 day fix . Lower Fix it is called. I am now just repeating the workouts and then next Monday we have to do 2 a day . one in the am and one in pm . That will be hard for me .
Chris sounds like you are having a great time. Glad you are able to check in with us and also working out.
Hi Sue and Mo.
Good Morning Sisters,
Pilates was day 11 of 21 day fix. I hope to get a workout in this afternoon but maybe not . Cleaning the spouting this morning.
Happy Thursday .
Hi, Sweat Sisters,
S90 Chest, Shoulders and Triceps today. I can feel my glutes from yesterday's Legs, and I know I'll feel my arms and shoulders tomorrow.
Glad you are enjoying yourself, Chris, and staying active, too--sounds like heaven, to be able to relax with nothing that needs to be done!
Great workout, Bama! I'd find it difficult to do two whole workouts in one day, too. I'd have to keep my workout clothes on all day!
Sounds like a wonderful workout for you, Sue! I didn't get to the 7 Min. or Turkish get-ups yesterday, but I did do the Get-ups on Monday, and they are just as challenging as I remember.
Workout for tonight....WHM's Total body tightening
Unfortunately no workout last night, all of a sudden I had this horrendous pain at my temples after we finished our ice cream for dessert. I was cool so thought it was brain freeze LOL but realized my mouth hurt too, so had to go take a faux ibuprofen, subsided some after I lay down in bed. But bending and working out was NOT in the cards. Oh well, hoping for a better night this evening as I feel better just tired. Had one of those night's sleep where I was up every hour on the hour and then had the stupidest/weirdest dream too.
Got the computer room dusted before breakfast and then the place vacuumed after breakfast and then did my pedicure, I have been meaning to do for about 2 weeks, but haven't gotten too. Usually do it at night while we watch TV but with Chuck's back being so bad I need to help him carry stuff for our dessert and all, so nixed it. So took time after I was all done with everything else today. However, I did tell him to remind if I ever think sitting on the floor in the back bathroom with all the lights on (since I thought the lighting would be good....hmmmm 59 year old body trying to get up, after a crummy night's sleep and being achy.....BIG MISTAKE (as Julia Roberts would say LOL). But they are done and look good.
Oh Chris, good for you on the workouts and the walking. Oh I would love to go to Nova Scotia, Chris. I knew another lady on the old BHG board who actually lived there, lucky lady! Wish I could pop myself there LOL Continue having a wonderful time.
Great workout yesterday I see, Bama, yeah I was wondering why you didn't post as you can see from my post yesterday.
Great workout this a.m. Bama, and of course, my fav....Pilates LOL Yeah I'd say cleaning the spouting is a good workout in and of itself.
Great workout this a.m., Molasses. I am with you to be on vacay with nothing to do!
Thanks Molasses, yes I was pleased with the workout, could really feel it. Chuck came out as I was finishing and he did say that I looked tired and my face was red too. So he was concerned, but he came in for the last superset of the bicycle, which is a challenge for me and of course the Roll up. I told him it was probably the breathing in and out and also being a bit warm. My feelings panned out as my BP was 105/71/71.
Yeah I will have to give the Turkish Get ups a test run before I do them, might have to make some adjustments. We shall see.
Well I am off to my other boards and mail, hopefully both before lunch. Wishing you all a great day,
Good Morning Sisters.
Work out finished and so glad . Cardio fix today and some of the moves at least two of them are almost impossible for me to do. The Burbees being the main one. It is really really tough I can not do it for a minute. Anyway I got thru it .
I kinda gave the Turkish get ups a little try . Not sure I will be able to handle those . But I will give it another try with my shoes on. LOL
Chris, sound like you are keeping up with your cardio while on Vacation . Good Job . Do you have a fit bit ? If not it would be nice to keep up with all the moving you are doing .
Mo, I know you have your hands full now . Hugs .
Sue, hope all is better this am. Yes, I forgot to post the other day. Just trying to get things done around here .
BBL . Soon as it is light out I want to get started on the spouting . We didn't get a lot done yesterday as it was in the high nineties when we got the time to start so going out a little earlier today.
Chow everyone.
Baron Baptiste Power Yoga, Level One, today. Felt great on all the achy muscles from the S90 workouts.
Burpees are tough for sure, Bama. I was talking to my DS last night and was saying how I hate burpees. I can manage 8-12 of them, and then I'm done. He said one of his old squad leaders used to make them do 100 for time (finishing in 7 min. was fast, 12 min. was slow), and then run sprints. He said it was his least favorite workout ever. You should be really proud of yourself for sticking with the 21 Day Fix. And thanks for the hugs--goodness knows I can use them!
Glad you liked the workout, Sue, and sounds like it will be effective. I always like a new workout to be challenging, so I feel like I have room for growth.
Hi, Chris--hope the rain didn't last too long.
Enjoy the day, Sweat Sisters!
Hey All,
Well we are still waiting on the rain. The only rain so far has been at night when we are all tucked in. We have been having lovely days. Yesterday took a sailing cruise out in the harbor. Then an evening walk through the public gardens. Today I took my walk outside and had a nice brisk stroll for 40 minutes. Then we retraced our steps and took the kids to a playground.
No sorry Bama I do not have a fitbit. I did look at them once but haven't decided to get one. It would be great to pop around here and there whenever we want Sue. You would indeed love it. We are keeping the pace relaxed Mo. I still have to get meals and do some dishes though. Saves money on restaurants.
Great workouts ladies!!
I actually did get in the computer room before noon, but had to make some calls and then realized the info the lady gave me was wrong, so will call PG&E back on Monday. Then Ethel buzzed so had to put that stuff away and then do my Food & Exercise journal so now it's noon time LOL
I also got my walls, doors and baseboards all washed while my fish was cooking for my sandwich and some corn on the cob for tonight.
As for workouts today already did my Fitness magazines Supersets (12 reps, 3 sets) and for this evening will do Don't Miss a Muscle 2 sets 12 reps.
Bama, well if you can't handle the Turkish set up, I probably wont' be able to at all. But will give it a try before I nix it.
I took an allergy pill last night along with a Bufferin for my body aches LOL and slept like a log. A couple of pit stops and wake up from some more weird dreams but other than that, OK. Hubby didn't sleep as his back was killing me. I told him he should have woke me up, but he laughingly said "are you kidding you were snoring away".
Yes, I do understand with getting the stuff done as I just hope you have a quick sale for yourself. I know you said it's a buyer's market there, but still hoping for you.
I know what you mean Bama, as it was already 85 in downtown at 8 a.m. this morning. They said 99 today but now I see they changed it to 102 and methinks even higher, we shall see.
Great workout Molasses and like Bama, sending lots of HUGS your way. I can't do burpee's and yikes on your son.
Yes, liking the workout, but had to cut down on one set for the last bicycle move, plus I can't do the one show, just the normal ones.
Chris, that was nice of the rain to do so while you were snug in your beds. Your sail sounds wonderful and the evening walk in the gardens...oh I would love to be there to take lots of pictures. Bet the kids had a blast at the playground. Yes, Chris, if only we had those "witch powers" LOL Oh I would love it! I am with you Chris, I'd rather make my own meals too than spend the money eating out. Way too expensive today.
Well I am off to bring down my mail and check that, before it's lunch time. Hoping to do some catch up on my other boards this afternoon.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend,
Hi sisters,
Just got this in my mail....thought I'd share for we all can see if we get those "flat abs" LOL We all know that more than this move is involved, but thought it looked interesting.
Have fun....
Hi sister,
The explanation of why we are cold when men aren't
Happy Saturday, Sweat Sisters,
3 rounds of the 7 Min. Workout, then 5 reps of the Turkish Get Up; it's still not a natural movement for me.
Morning Sisters,
Workout for me was the Dirty Thrity. This is strength training . Some of them are easy for me and some are very hard . Total of 8 moves done twice. This workout is really taking it's toil on me but I think I feel some changes in my clothes . Have one more week of it and then on to something else.
Mo and Sue , I have not given up on the Turgish move yet . I will try it again . and Sue I like the one you just posted . Going to throw that in some time.
Mo, all I can say is WOW are yoiur Son's Workout.
Chris hope your are enjoying your trip and it sounds like you ate getting your workouts in.
Enjoy your Saturday Sisters. Another hot one here.
Tired puppy Sue here....not a good night and not feeling that great today. Just getting online now.
Molasses, great workout.
Great workout Bama, and I haven't tried the Turkish move yet. Time will tell. I thought you'd like that one Bama, gave me fits trying to get the pic done as it was a PNG file so I changed it to a GIF file, but then Photobucket wouldn't upload it. So I uploaded the PNG file. Should have done that first as it was a POC....GRRR
I am with Bama, Chris, enjoy your vacay and kudos on the workouts.
Hot one here too Bama, I was right yesterday, we hit 104 instead of the 99 they had forecasted and then changed it to 101, then 102 LOL
Well off to check my mail and with the way I feel today, catch up as my brain isn't functioning enough for anything more.
Reminds us of Mr. Bo as he would eat his Special cuts in seconds and be off to play with the cats and see if they were eating too LOL
Oh Stanley can I come too LOL
Well it's been a busy but productive week with changing our computer schedule and getting on line later in the day. Got my workouts in all week, only missed one night time one due to headache and mouth pain. Plus got a yummy blueberry cheesecake made up on Monday, my vacuuming done on Tuesday, along with making up a frittata instead of the omelet Chuck started with. But actually turned out even better as we loved it, much lighter than the oven baked one with less cheese used and with the stove one we can put my kind of stuff on one side and Chuck's on the other. Can't do that in the oven baked one, so have to make up a "his and hers" one. The dreaded vacuum also is all cleaned too. Plus got my hair cut on Wednesday too. After which I got the good dusting in, along with a nice pedicure too, on Thursday. Just won't be doing it again on the floor in the bathroom LOL Will go back to my chair with my table on the side LOL Friday turned out well too with getting my fish cooked up and my walls done while it was cooking....multi-tasking...a wonderful thing LOL The movie we got in on Friday, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit was excellent. Gave the back story to the Jack Ryan movies and books. Chris Pine, Kevin Costner, Kenneth Branagh, Keira Knightley among others did a marvelous job. I was tired when I lay down, kept yawning but never got to sleep. I lay there till 2 a.m. and finally gave up and went out and got my dusting done I usually do Saturday morning. Then I lay back down again. It was very warm and we had the bedroom fan and the a/c on. Finally got back up and took my Bone medication and went out and read my book. Was gone more than the 30 minutes as I got engrossed so more like an hour and 15 minutes. So refilled my water glass yet again with some ice and water and back to bed to try again, I also took my thyroid pill, so wouldn't have to take it and wait a half hour. Well Chuck stared snoring and after 30 minutes I just gave up. I went into the linen closet, grabbed a sheet and then pulled his recliner forward as he doesn't have anything in back of his, like I do, so I could flatten it out more. Went back to the bedroom, grabbed my pillow, eye mask and water and back to the living room I went. Got my self adjusted and lay there for a while but finally dozed off and woke up about 7:06 a.m. in the morning. I left the chair and sheet, and just grabbed my pillow, made a pit stop and stretched out. The alarm went off, Chuck hit the buzzer and we snoozed more. He didn't do too well either Friday night with having to get up and rinse his mouth 3 times to get the blood out as he had a bleeding gum. So 2 zombies to say the least. I was going to take Buddy out as Chuck's back has been killing him this week but he said he was OK to do it. So I did the bed, dusted and then went outside to do my next inhaler, and get the coffee and tea done, along with getting all the towels and putting up new ones in the kitchen. Then till Chuck came out I lay down in my chair to rest. I did NOT feel well, bloated (all the water, gassy and hot and foggy...lack of sleep does that). Next thing I know Buddy is barking to wake me up and it was time for breakfast. While Chuck and Buddy were otherwise occupied, I did the bathroom in the bedroom and then did the other one. Then I went to check on the towels only to find out I forgot to put them on and also left the top up on the washer for the sheet I used to sleep with so that stopped in mid wash....can't even blame "old age" on these as I have done them before LOL Finally got on line and did my mail and some of my other checks and on line stuff. On tap for Saturday night will be some more Smallville and will do more tomorrow to finish off Season 2, then back to our normal viewing. Chuck is checking the Jag's we got in and we will be sending one season back as it has broken spindles and marks on the strata of all of the disks in the season. Well hope you have a good Saturday, weekend and take some "me time" on Sunday....I know I will be.
I am with you Buckles as I don't like doctors!
I don't think so, Stanley!
Day 14 of 21 day fix . Yoga. The 21 day fix Yoga portion is messed up so I substituted Bob Harper weight loss yoga . Hey I am not a yoga person and I struggled with some of the moves but liked it . I may have to keep it in my rotation.
The only think I did stupidly was the DVD is one you can program what you want to do . Well dummy me programmed the warm up last !!!! And I didn't realize it until I was all finished with the first 2 levels and he came on and said and let's warm up before !!!!!! . Oh well live and learn.
Sue thanks for the cartoons . They don't come in our Sunday paper any longer or maybe in no ones. don't know. I don't even think they come in Ohio's Sunday. OH Oh DH just walked by and I ask him about the funnies and he said yes they do but he throws them out before I get to the paper . Usually he only gives me the inserts as I usually get the news on puter.
Hi Mo and Chris .
Good morning, Sweat Sisters,
I did the first 45 minutes of Baron Baptiste Power Yoga, Level 2, this morning. I don't know how much longer it is, but DH was back from his run so it was time to fix breakfast.
Yay on the changes in your clothes, Bama! Maybe you can do the 21 days every other month? I've done a Bob Harper yoga, but I know he has more than one, and I can't remember which I did. It had Ali Vincent in it, but maybe they all do. Anyway, I know I liked it. I can't believe your DH was pitching the comics! My DH doesn't read them either, but he knows I like them.
Sorry you were so tired, Sue, and hope you are feeling much better today. Bummer on the JAG needing to be returned. Thanks for all the comics. I like the "low crab diet"--I could do that one! Yesterday in the car I was thinking about the link you posted as DH had the AC blasting and I was full of goosebumps.
I'm with you on eating out, Chris--not only is it less expensive to fix something yourself, most of the time it's so much healthier, too. I was telling DH yesterday that when we go to Maine (on our bucket list) we need to keep going north to check out Nova Scotia. So many places I want to see!
Morning sisters,
I had another "no night" of much sleep last night, so foggy eyed and tired again. Glad it's a "me day".
Bama, great on the workout. I have a hard time with a lot of yoga moves too.
A lot of papers don't have comics any longer. We get them on line and there will come a day when they stop too, but since we save ours, we will have them to re-read years from now. They don't get paid much anymore and the papers don't want to way anymore either. "So many changes old Max, so many changes" as is said in one of our favorite movies, Dirty Dancing.....and certainly not for the better.
Wow I see you asked DH and he tosses them. I would be telling him you want to see them.
Great workout for you, Molasses, and as I said above, another "no night" of sleep. Yes part of my "no sleep" I was scratching myself to death and I know it's the cold from the a/c drying my skin out.
Oh Molasses, Maine is just gorgeous and so is Vermont, went their with friends years back and was talked into cross country skiing. I always said if the Good Lord wanted me on skis he would have put them on me LOL but I actually like the cross country.
Chris, hope the weekend plans were able to be executed.
Well off to put the sheets into Lucy, rinse out my milk glass and have breakfast.
Have a wonderful Sunday,
Cherry Blossom Sue here,
Well I got some sleep but not a lot, my guess is about 3.5 hours, if that. Hubby was up for a bit too, but then the snoring started so I was outta there and did my catch up and then tried to sleep and eventually did. I was so itchy, after my 9:15 p.m. allergy pill, I took another one. Then after I got offline before trying to go to sleep again, I took my thyroid pill so I didn't have to in the a.m.
Buddy actually ate his breakfast this a.m., and then checked out his pancake.
No cutting of Chuck's hair as we were running very late due to my lazy butt taking a while to get up and hubby setting the alarm later. Hey it's Sunday.
However, now all bathed, creamed, and all the other stuff done. Still itchy today so did take an allergy pill after I finished drying my hair.
Still itchy and seems Buddy is too. Some of it is the darn a/c coming on so much, but it is HOT outside.
Our oldies station did good today as I got to hear Soldier Boy, followed by Johnny Angel and Worst That Could Happen....so I was singing up a storm LOL
Chuck is watching America's Test Kitchen video's so off to play some games as it's hard to concentrate. He did ask if he should put the headphones on but I know they bother him. So told him, it's fine but driving me nuts.
Little things....so will let it go.
Hope you had a nice Sunday and got to take some "me time".

More Official Myths Shown for the Lies They Are
In 2009 it is a difficult mental stretch (even for those who were alive and politically conscious back then as this reviewer was) to realize that forty-five years previously most average Americans sincerely believed that their government told them the truth--especially if it concerned things as serious as the assassination of a president or going to war.
As you watch part 2 of this documentary, you are seeing the genesis and the source of the cynicism, detachment, and growing antagonism of ordinary Americans towards both their government and its (as oppossed to their)military.
In 1964 most of the military was composed of draftees whose enlistment was based on the notion of serving the contrry trhat had given them so much. Today our military consists of so many "professionals" (a polite way of saying for hire mercinaries like the Hessians the British used to wage war agsint the colonists during the
Revolutionary War) whose fealty is to their chain of command and pay and benefits and not to the country or its Constitution.
In 1964 and 1965 powerful political leaders like William Fulbright, Wayne Morse, and Hubert Humphrey spoke directly for attribution. Today reporter/stenographers whisper rumors and gossip from "unnamed sources" speaking "off the record" and "not for attribution".
In '68 when Walter Cronkite called LBJ and McNamara's bluffing over the Vietnam war's winability the president realized that he had just lost middle Amerricaand declined to run for a second elected term. Today when confronted with their lying, criminal actions, and (in the case of Barack Obama) broken promises the response is either "So?!!" or indifferent silence.
I am not sure of the date of the Bishop Fulton Sheen clip (the communist scavenger) at the very end of part 2 of this documentary. However, whether it predates or came after, it is very similar to what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr had to say on 04/04/67 (one year to the day before he was assassinated) in opposition to the Vietnam war.
"It is a sad fact that because of comfort, complacency, a morbid fear of communism, and our proneness to adjust to injustice, the Western nations that initiated so much of the revolutionary spirit of the modern world have now become the arch antirevolutionaries.
This has driven many to feel that only Marxism has a revolutionary spirit. Therefore, communism is a judgment against our failure to make democracy real and follow through on the revolutions that we initiated.
Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism.
With this powerful commitment we shall boldly challenge the status quo and unjust mores, and thereby speed the day when "every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain."
Substitute "radical Islamic fundamentalism" for "communism" or "Marxism" and you realize that essentiall nothing has changed in the 42 years since King made these observations.
If you go and listen to King's speech (The American Rhetoric website has the speech avaiable)you will be struck at how precisely right King was in all of his observations. No wonder he too was killed.
Mark Twain once observed, "The first casualty of any war is the truth" and as you watch part two of this splendid documentary series what you are watching is the assassination of the truth surrounding US involvement in the Vietnam civil war.
I gave this segment a 4 star review primarily due to the extended insertion of speculative (though informed) gossip about LBJ's involvement in the murder of JFK from the history channel's "The Men who Killed Kennedy" series.
While interesting, this material cannot be compared to the value of the straight file footage verifying the facts from the men who were there and in high positions to know exactly what went on to provoke American involvement in the Vietnam civil war.
Given the thorougness of the control exerted by the perpetrators of such crimes, the anonymiity of the producers of this documentary, and its continued availability for viewing, it is also worth wondering if this production's existence is both a boast and a warning by the perps of such crimes to any future politicians or other leaders about who is really in charge and what they are capable of doing.
