About me:
I have been taking photos for about 58 years since I was about 8 y.o.
My main aim is to take better pictures!
In FORUM view, clicking on the time of the last post used to take one to the last post, whether in flat or threaded view.
Now it takes you wherever it thinks is a good thing, with no relationship whatsoever to the last post. Same goes for clicking on the link to my previous comment on this page from my profile page: it takes me to the top of this page, not to my comment.
You must have the squirrels on steroids - the forums are far faster ... :D.
Have to 2nd the sizing issue expressed below. On my 24" monitor using IE8, the profile forum page is now bleeding over the RHS border into the ads. It was not doing this earlier this morning.
The default double spacing is a PITA. Glad to see that there is a workaround (SHIFT+ENTER). At least that is a standard LF character, BUT ENTER is the standard everywhere else for a single spaced CR+LF (other forums and local programs, text editors, WP, etc) .
br, and keep up the good work. I can see it being far better than the old programming.

By and large a good job.
Firstly, I notice that BBCode in footers of new messages is not being honoured, nor is there a facility to use the WYSIWYG editor in editing one's profile.
Secondly, links to external galleries and images in one's footer block (for new messages) do not work, with or without the "www." prefix.
Thirdly, almost all my images have EXIF data intact (it's why I don't use Olympus s/w for editing at all - it strips the metadata from 16 bit files ... ). That EXIF data does not display here now under any view.
Fourthly, there is no direct link back to the home forum from within the "FORUMS" view in one's profile pages.
While you are at it, the "GEAR" list feature is all but useless (and always has been ... ) for those of us who have more than one camera and one or two lenses ... Check out the list I have under "PROFILE/ABOUT ME", for example. There needs to be some method of importing a block of text straight into one's gear list; otherwise, it just stays where it is ...
Interesting that moderators here need training.
I am a moderator on another, unrelated subject site, and no training was given there, or needed?
kindest regards, and keep up the good work - feed your squirrels! -
Thank you for this informative article.
I have followed your 'recipe' by contacting the ISP/hosting service provider one a couple of occasions in the past, and all except this site, DPR, have acted on my request to remove such copyright infringing work.
The use by some posters here of my work for malicious purposes would apparently disqualify the perpetrator from claiming "fair use". This would appear to be particularly the case when my work has been modified in such a manner as to further ridicule it.
All of my work has a copyright notice embedded in the metadata; my footer block here states that I consider any embedding of my photographs without my prior written consent to be a breach of my copyright, and my web site also makes a statement that all work published on that site is copyright by the owner, or others as noted.

Who uses JPEGs anyway? Just kidding, each to their own.
However I shoot RAW + JPEG and only ever use the JPEGs for end users other than myself - web, email, people who want copies, etc. Otherwise, I only ever do editing with RAW into PSD 16 bit files. These are stored as edited. If for printing at A2 size, the file may be up to 200+ MB. I really don't care! If I need to, I will archive these files onto their own DVDR and the whole lot onto "small" HDDs for backup. I never convert these files to JPEGs for any purpose other than third party distribution.
I don't like throwing data away ... ;).
I already backup my LF/SHQ JPEGs to a "small" 160 GB HDD, and thence as a copy to my laptop HDD. The main backup is for all image files to a number of external 1 TB HDDs, and to DVDRs.
My main image HDD is an internal 2 TB Seagate that cost about Oz $100 ...

All round, a good review. Good to see printers make it onto the scene at last.
I have the Canon MG6150, and my only complaint is that the print cartridges are minute (9 mls?), and the printer drinks it like an alcoholic during happy hour. The cartridges are also very expensive here in Oz.
Ours is used as a general purpose network printer/scanner and copier.
We have an HP LaserJet 5P as the general B&W network printer, and an Epson R3880 for photographic printing.
The cost of the ink for the MG6150 is going to drive me to after-market inks, something I have never done before. Our old (dead) Canon iP4000R had cartridges with about 50% more capacity; costing only 68% as much as those for the MG6150 for OEM inks.
In summary, the MG6150 is very flexible and produces excellent quality photo output; but is as expensive as all get-out to run. I estimate about 40c/page for normal printing, compared with around 2c/page for the LaserJet ...

Carly Lemke is missing the first couple of weeks of track and field practice.
It was a similar situation for the Oconto Falls senior in November when the basketball season started.
But that�s a small price to pay when you�re advancing to state tournaments as often as Lemke and her teammates have.
After playing in the WIAA state volleyball tournament four months ago, the Panthers will be back at the Resch Center on Friday playing on a different court.
The Oconto Falls girls basketball team will face Kettle Moraine Lutheran at 9:05 a.m. in a Division 3 semifinal in its first state appearance in program history.
Complete coverage of the 2014 WIAA state girls basketball tournament
However, first-time jitters shouldn�t be a problem for the Panthers, who have eight players who were a part of the volleyball team during its Division 2 state tournament run.
�Right now I�m missing track,� Lemke said. �But our coach is so excited for us, she doesn�t even care.�
The 6-foot-1 forward qualified for state in track and field in the high jump and was a first-team all-Bay Conference performer in volleyball last year.
Lemke is one of two at Oconto Falls making school history by advancing to state in three sports.
The other is one of the most accomplished high school girls athletes the area has seen � McKenna Larsen.
Larsen is only the third player from Press-Gazette Media�s coverage area to be a varsity letter winner on state volleyball, basketball and softball teams.
During the mid-1990s, Pulaski�s Teri Stoltenberg and Kristy Dettman accomplished the feat. Stoltenberg went on to become a standout college basketball player at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, while Dettman did the same as a volleyball player at UW-Whitewater.
Larsen�s prep career suggests she could be on a similar path. She�ll compete in volleyball and softball at Winona State.
The 5-foot-7 senior has been Bay Conference player of the year and an all-state choice in each of her respective sports, where she has been named first-team all-conference each season.
Larsen, who has more than 1,600 career points in basketball, averaged 18.3 points and 3.9 steals to lead the Bay in both for a third straight season. She also averaged 5.1 assists per game to lead the conference for a second consecutive year.
�It�s an unbelievable feat and a tribute to her hard work as an athlete,� Oconto Falls coach Mike Kaczmarek said.
While Larsen has been a key component, the Panthers� four state appearances in three sports over four years also has a lot to do with having a collection of multi-sport athletes.
Ten of the 12 players on the girls basketball roster have advanced to state in two sports. Besides the crossover from the volleyball team, sophomore Bailey Wolf is a two-time state qualifier in cross-country and junior Vanessa VandenElzen has qualified for state in the 100-meter hurdles for track and field.
�We really preach that we need all of our athletes to play all three sports,� Kaczmarek said. �I just want them to become better athletes. I think that�s a huge reason why they�re so successful. We need that for a school our size. Playing in a D2 conference, we can�t take a night off. Every night you have to show up and play.�
Oconto Falls is one of four schools that advanced to the volleyball and girls basketball state tournaments this school year, so its experience isn�t entirely unique.
Algoma, which advanced in Division 4 for basketball, also has a number of multi-sport athletes who were a part of state championship basketball and softball teams last year, in addition to senior Kennedy Blahnik, who is a three-time D3 state champion in shot put and discus for track and field.
However, successful three-sport athletes are becoming harder to find at bigger schools with many focusing on one sport year-round.
With an enrollment of 530, Oconto Falls is a mid-sized school in the WIAA divisional alignment. But in the Bay, it�s the second-smallest school.
�Sometimes it gets a little hard because you know that this may be that (school�s) sport and they concentrate on it a lot,� Lemke said. �But I think it�s still to our benefit to have the players that do play volleyball, do play basketball and do softball or track in the spring. I love that our school is a little bit bigger, but we�re still small, so it is possible to do all three.�
But Larsen is looking to do just one thing Friday.
After having her two state appearances in volleyball and one in softball end with semifinal losses, Larsen is hoping to experience her first victory at state.
�It would probably be the sweetest thing ever, ending senior year of basketball like that,� Larsen said.
�Obviously, we haven�t had the greatest success (at state). But a lot of people can�t say they�ve been here once. To say I�ve been at state four times is a dream come true.�

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.- Dr. Seuss
My friends would describe me as loyal, spontaneous and sassy ;) I am extremely driven and believe that anything is possible when you put your mind to it! I am originally from the midwest, so some may say I am loud and outgoing! I have been in Colorado for over 5 years now, and am so in love with everything this state has to offer! I love to ski, hike, camp...anything outdoors! I'm a libra so I love to go out and be social. I feel like I get along with just about anyone, and am looking for someone who takes an interest in getting to know my friends and likes to go out and have a good time. I'm a big foodie & wine-o and love to cook, but also love to go out and check out new restaurants in town. Denver has some of the best restaurants! On the other hand, my absolute perfect night would be to cook dinner for or with someone I care about, drink some wine and watch a movie or play a game! On my down time I enjoy reading, writing, watching movies, yoga, spin and daydreaming about the amazing places I would love to travel to! Oh, and I spend a majority of my time with my best friend, a one-eyed silver pug. He is pretty special... I can't really say there is a "type" of person I am looking for..but My one MUST Is that you can make me laugh! I am, however, not looking for games. I don't play games and will tell you exactly how I feel. I think that if you feel the need to give someone a challenge in order for them to have an interest, then thats just not the right person for you... For me, nice guys do not finish last ;) I want to find someone that I can call my best friend, someone who appreciates everything about me because I will 100% do the same for them & who is a romantic and passionate about life and our relationship. I am extremely indecisive, too. So if you can make decisions once in awhile, it will make both our lives much easier ;) I don't want to give too much away...so if there's anything you would Like to just know about me, Just ask!

I love Denver in the summer!! Hiking, baseball games, rooftop bars, grilling, layin out at the pool. In the fall &winter I love to watch football, cook amazing meals, drink wine, ski, read a good book and snuggle up with my pug.

ABOUT Mothmen Dance
Created by Jason Whicker and Jennifer Kelly of On the FLY Productions, Mothmen Dance is a group of fiercely fun aerialists, dancers, flyers and acro-artists, all with an edgy, intense talent. Hailing from all over the country, they first met three days before their audition for America's Got Talent. Mothmen can often be found climbing on anything from buildings to playground equipment for practice, and they live to perform onstage. Ranging in age from 18 to 35, the Mothmen (and women) have spent most of their lives training, performing and dreaming of this moment.

How are these any different than her normal posed paparazzi pictures?
5 years
Well...they're nothing shockingly different for her. I thought that in pic 5 her eyes looked crooked or off or something. They really should have picked a better photo. The mouth open thing is funny though, lol. Wonder why she does that. Hasn't anyone told her it looks strange when you do it ALL the time?

I think she looks pretty and not slutty here. But I don't know how these are in Playboy and not Maxim...

Her teeth are too big to pull off the open mouth pose.

FIRE IT UP FRIDAY! PR Friday 5/2/14
Fire it Up Baby! This has been a tough week of training. The tempo squats were brutal and fun at the same time. Only a CrossFitter would combine "brutal" and "fun" in the same sentence. This upcoming week is promising to be just as challenging in a totally different way. More on that later…Shirtless Bob was so fired up he sent me this pic from the CrossFit in Rome!
This upcoming weekend is the Hydrostatic Weighing with Fitness Wave. As of now there are many spots still available. Friday is almost filled up but Saturday is pretty wide open. Here is the link so you can sign up. Be sure to mark whether you are participating in the challenge or would just prefer the hydrostatic weighing.
So, WODIFY is out and Pocket Coach is in!
MemberGuideToPocketCoach This is the link to download a PDF explaining how to use Pocket Coach. Of course the coaches are also available to help you!
This upcoming week's programming: I have been testing out the next week's programming for the last few weeks. I did this regularly when I first started out but it has been some time since I had done as frequently as I have been. I started doing this again so that I can better communicate to my coaches and interns what it felt like and the flow of the class should be, etc. This will allow them to better communicate to you as a member what to expect, how to scale, where to push and where to back off. Let me know what you think.
Saturday 5/3

Deadlift 5-4-3-2-1 reps
Rest 5 minutes

Saturday 5/10 – CrossFit Total
Back Squat – 1RM
Shoulder Press – 1RM
Deadlift – 1RM
Awesome week by everyone! Monday was a bruiser with Manion. I was truly impressed with those that gutted it out. Tuesday brought some reverse lunges out of the racks. Deadlifts anyone? There were quite a few of you pulling weight very close to your previous 1RM! It was AWESOME!
I was asked in one of the classes why we were performing lunges as a strength movement. Great question!
We mostly always train bilateral movements, meaning we squat with both legs, press overhead with both arms, two arm snatch, etc. No matter how long or short you have been training the body is great at compensating for imbalances. You may be favoring one side, usually your dominant, without even knowing it. Mixing up the training with a uni-lateral lift every so often is a great way to identify these imbalances and begin working to correct them.
So, if you noticed one leg was much easier than the other, begin adding one day a week after class to perform a quick 3×5 set. Progress the weight in a linear fashion that challenges you but it does not need to be a maximum load.
CROSSFIT BOSTON SPRING INTO SUMMER STRENGTH CHALLENGE (The skinny details)
May 9-10 kicks off the next Challenge here at CrossFit Boston. Keith from Fitness Wave will be here again beginning Friday afternoon through Saturday to perform hydrostatic weighing. If you participated in the Transformation Challenge at the beginning of this year then this will be a great time to check in and see if you are maintaining the progress you worked so hard for. If you missed it the first time around, this is your chance to get dunked and have your body composition analyzed in the most accurate fashion available.
The Challenge
It's no secret that the greater strength capacity an athlete holds, the better able they will be able to move large loads across long distances. Thus, improving one's fitness! What will we be testing? THE CROSSFIT TOTAL.
CrossFit Total
Back Squat, 1RM
Shoulder Press, 1RM
Deadlift, 1RM
In one session you will establish the baseline for each lift. This will require a great deal of intensity. From the baseline, participants will be given a program to follow for the next 12 weeks to help improve their numbers. This program will be intended to be performed in addition to the regular classes and it will be explained in further detail in another post.
How Does The Body Composition Factor In?
We are CrossFitters. We need to continue to get stronger to continue progressing as athletes. What we don't want to see are huge gains in body fat while our strength numbers increase. The program will emphasize growth in lean body mass with minimal, if any, gain in body fat. You may even lose body fat, but we really want to focus on increasing lean body mass. This will improve our strength to body weight ratio and improve our fitness.
Fine Details
Check back in over the weekend for the details as far as cost, what is included in the cost, etc. In the meantime we don't want to delay your ability to sign up and reserve your spot for the hydrostatic weighing. Click on the link below. It is a live document where you can put your First and Last Name.

This is the final week of the 2104 CrossFit Games Open 14.5. What a great workout to finish it off with. Two low skill movements that just require you to have an engine! I love it! I mean I hate it because I am 6'3″ 240 pounds and that is A LOT of mass to move up and down for 84 reps, but hey it is what it is!
Here is some tips and strategy from Barbell Shrugged:
It's still a little early but our very own Carla B is sitting nicely in 34th for the Northeast Region. She has been busting her butt all year and it is paying off for her. This workout plays to her strengths as she can go and go and go! If you see her in the gym today or over the weekend let her know that you are rooting for her to kill it!
We will be setting up a tent at Regionals for members that wish to head down and cheer. We will keep you posted as the date draws near.
This Saturday, tomorrow, beginning at 6pm is our Spring Fling at Daedalus in Harvard Square. The 2014 Transformation Challenge winner will be announced and it will be an opportunity to kick back, celebrate the end of the Open season, and welcome Spring into Boston. Be sure to come on by!
Strength work continues in our programming along with a continued emphasis on strengthening the midline as well. You will notice in this weeks programming there is AB work to be completed on your own outside of the class. Don't skip it. It is important and it will help you in the WOD and the rest of your training.
PR Friday is back! Each Friday there will either be a benchmark WOD or we will attempt to PR a lift. Get excited and set your hair on fire!

FIRE IT UP with CUSTOM FIT MEALS!
There is a ton of great things happening right now. Allow me to start with announcing we have partnered up with Custom Fit Meals. Here is their pledge:
CFM prepares and delivers fresh, delicious meals made from only the highest quality ingredients. We specialize in producing Paleo, Primal and clean meals that fit our Nutritional Philosophy.
We use only USDA-certified All Natural, hormone- and antibiotic-free meats. Our beef is grass-fed Angus, our poultry is cage-free, our pork is pastured, and our produce is sourced locally and organic as often as possible. We only partner with ranchers that treat their animals humanely and feed them correctly.
Our unmatched variety of meal selections allows you to personalize your menu to fit your lifestyle. This gives you the convenience you want, the portion control you need, and the quality of ingredients you deserve – all at an affordable price.
CFM GUARANTEE = Quality, Variety & Service + Prices you can Afford
The relationship between CFB and CFM does require a minimum commitment of 10 members. I have tried a couple of the meals and it was very good. The food had a ton of flavor and the portion was very satisfying. If you are someone that has a very busy schedule or if you find it difficult to make the correct choices, Custom Fit Meals will be perfect for you!
Here is how it works.
CrossFit Games Open 14.4 – The Chipper
Week 4 of the Open is here. The muscle up has finally made it appearance. More appropriately for the majority of CFB members, so has Toe 2 Bars. Dave Castro threw us a curveball with adding the rower to the Open for the very first time in history. I LOVE IT!
As has been the case with every Open workout, pacing will play a critical role. How you feel coming off the rower is going to be more important for those that are still struggling with T2B. Most of you will be able to complete 60 calories within 3 minutes and be ok going into the T2B. Today while warming up be sure to feel the pace of the rower and work on transitioning over to the pull up rig. For the T2B really try to focus on that hollow body position and sub maximal efforts. The more you work towards an effort that results in slipping off the bar, the harder it will be to recover the grip strength.
Moving on to the wall ball, attempt to complete the 40 reps in 1-3 sets. Pacing so you can breathe is critical. Your grip will get a much needed break from the first two movements but your legs are going to be tired. Be sure to be accurate and not miss reps b/c you were too fast and out of control.
Cleans for 30 reps. This is it for the majority of you reading this. Set your back, drive through your heels and try to minimize the rest time between reps. If you still have the energy to perform touch and go reps, you will fare better than if you have to perform a quick rep and drop the bar. The fewer sets the better. To hook grip or not to hook grip? I think this will depend on how efficient you are with the clean. If you are a repeat offender of using your arms, then try to use a hook grip to allow a loose but secure grip. If 135 is not a heavy weight and you can keep a loose grip and not pull with the arms on the clean, then give it a go without the hook grip.
Muscle Ups. If you are lucky enough to get this far and you have the ability to perform muscle ups, be sure to have that kip swing dialed in so the arms have as little action in the movement. Return back to the bottom of the dip and "fall" back into the kip swing to load the hip.
With the exception of Carla B (GO CARLA GO!!) the rest of us understand the CrossFit Games season will end for us with 14.5. Because of this, the programming is going to begin our strength phase of training.
There will be a renewed focus on improving strength across the board for all members while still focusing on skill development in areas still lacking across the gym. There will still be a heavy emphasis on met cons as that is the base of what is CrossFit but you will begin seeing shorter and heavier WODS programmed in addition to the classic style of programming that has been emphasized the last couple of months.

I want to officially welcome longtime member Mickey Grouse to the TEAM! Mickey has been training with us for over 4 years, has competed in some local and regional events, volunteered his talents as a DJ for parties, etc. Now he will be apprenticing to be apart of our Coaching TEAM.
Mickey is an all around good dude and cares a ton about the CrossFit Boston Community. He received his CrossFit L1 Certificate back in 2011. You will see him primarily shadowing me in both group classes and private sessions. He will soon be leading portions of the class and ultimately entire classes.
Give him a big fist bump and a FIRE IT UP!!
CrossFit Games 14.3
CrossFit Games Open 14.3 (AMRAP – Reps)
8-Minute AMRAP:
10 Deadlifts, 135# / 95#
15 Box Jumps, 24″ / 20″
15 Deadlifts, 185# / 135#
15 Box Jumps, 24″ / 20″
20 Deadlifts, 225# / 155#
15 Box Jumps, 24″ / 20″
25 Deadlifts, 275# / 185#
15 Box Jumps, 24″ / 20″
30 Deadlifts, 315# / 205#
15 Box Jumps, 24″ / 20″
35 Deadlifts, 365# / 225#
15 Box Jumps, 24″ / 20″
Deadlift and box jumps! Alright, we finally have a little weight now in the open. The ascending volume AND weight for the deadlift will make it challenging to maintain midline stabilization and not blow out the low back. Everyone will need to focus on bracing really tight while pushing the ground away through the heels rather than pulling the bar off the floor. Establish a pace that will be just below your threshold and allow you to keep moving steady. This is very similar to the pacing needs of Wednesday's Row/Thruster WOD.
If 225 is heavy, be prepared to start breaking up into sets of 5 so that you can move faster. Try to avoid singles until you absolutely have to. If you are lucky enough to get into the heavier weights you need to game plan the number of reps/sets for completion. Think similarly to last week's CTB pull ups, except you will have a much higher muscle economy.
Step ups or box jumps are permitted with the requirement of both feet on the floor at full standing and both feet on the box at full standing. The kicker is the height of the box. For the men, if you are shorter, a 24″ box may be too much to expect a good pace with step ups. Ladies you should be fine with 20″. We have been training the Games Standard for box jumps the last couple of weeks so you should know how to pace this already. 15 reps is manageable, just be sure to breathe and maintain control of your body.
Good Luck to everyone today!

FIRE IT UP FRIDAY! March 7, 2014
The last week has been awesome! Friday kicked it off with 2014 Reebok CrossFit Games Open 14.1. CFB has more than 50 athletes participating in the Open. The energy was awesome. Carla B leads all CFB members with a score of 362 and currently sits 24th in the NorthEast Region. The top 45 females in the region will qualify to Regionals at Reebok's Headquarters in Canton, MA. Dave Young is leading the men with a score of 347 and sits 384th in the NorthEast Region. Hats off to them both for their efforts!
In case you missed the previous communications, we will be running the Open WOD in class each Friday. If you cannot make it into the gym on Friday, then you may come in on Saturday or Sunday but you will need to have someone accompanying you to judge your performance. There will be a group that will retest on Monday as well. Again, you will need to schedule someone to judge you in advance to ensure that there will be someone available for you.
On Wednesday morning all 7 participants in the 7am class banged out Personal Bests! The bell was working on overtime and it was fun to witness. Audrey, JPerlo, Linh, Vijay, Patrick M, Matt, and Kapil all were machines in the back squat. I like programming the straight sets at higher intensity (5×2 – work up to a challenging 2 and hold it for all sets) for the barbell lifts. It removes any ceilings and encourages you to train based off how you are feeling instead of a fixed percentage. It's not always going to be a PR day but when it is…RING THE BELL BABY!

It's finally here. The 2014 sporting season has officially began and…14.1 is a repeat of 11.1, which we just performed as a gym not more than 21 days ago.

If you think you have a chance to qualify for regionals, your judge must have passed the CrossFit Online Judges Course AND you MUST videotape your efforts.
Good Luck!!!
I am a fan of James Fitzgerald, OPT, and believe he has a lot of great information on proper training for CrossFit both as a fitness program and a sport. Last year I began taking the OPT courses and read his blog almost daily. In the article below, OPT Coach and on-site athlete Robin Lyons shares her thoughts on mentally preparing for competition. I share it because I think it has value beyond the Open.
Get Mental for the Opens Part 1
In slow motion my eyes close and then re-open back onto the barbell. There are 60sec left in the 12 min workout; I'm breathing rapidly, my thighs are burning and something inside is telling me to slow down…."rest, you can't go yet"…. and in that split second I have a choice to either give in to that voice or trust my training. Without hesitation I notice the mental breakdown and fight back with positive self-talk and cues that laser me back into the zone: "let's go", "you train to be in this moment" "you can do it". I grab the barbell, chalk and sweat fall below me and I finish knowing I gave it everything I had. This fight is what I love in our sport, and over the years as a competitive athlete I have come to understand the important role of mental preparation in my success and failures. In high-level performance sports our ability to focus rules for better or worse.

FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP! Friday 21, 2013
2014 Reebok CrossFit Games Open
The 2014 Reebok CrossFit Games Open is less than 1 WEEK away. This is an exciting part of the year because it challenges everyone to compete and competition makes everyone better. It just does. We push harder. We perform in ways we didn't think we could. We learn so much about our abilities and areas that we still need to improve. It's the ultimate test over the course of 5 weeks.
For me as an affiliate owner, it serves two purposes: community building and feedback on the programming being done for the gym.
Lets start with the latter. CrossFit is defined as functional movements, constantly varied, performed at high intensity. That allows a broad interpretation of program design that can be considered CrossFit. How do I ensure that what I am programming is working to make you, the members, more fit? Thankfully Coach Glassman went on to define fitness further as improving work capacity across broad time and modal domains. Meaning, the ability to perform more work (force X distance ./. time) across very short workouts to much longer workouts with the numerous functional movements CrossFit employs. He even went further and defined fitness 3-dimensionally by including age. Are we increasing work capacity across broad time and modal domains as we continue to get older?
The Open is a test of this exactly. It is free of any biases I may have and we can and do repeat it throughout the year.
Community, each year The Open brings members closer together as we all share this common experience. I equate it to 4th of July "Murph" every Friday of the week. Everyone has the opportunity to meet new faces and cheer each other on. The energy is electric and the effort is "All In". At the end of the night there is usually a group hanging around and sharing their perspectives of what happened, how to improve, where to go eat after. It's always fun to see.
This year we will be running The Open WOD every Friday. If you are registered you will be judged and given a score sheet each week. If you are hopeful you may qualify for Regionals your workout needs to be videotaped and your judge must have passed the CrossFit Judges course. Get ready and FIRE IT UP!!!

Gartner Picks Up Crack Pipe, Says Apple Will Introduce Enterprise-class iPhones
Oh Gartner, what is it with you and your schizophrenic predictions about Apple's movements into the corporate world? One minute you're saying iPhone is not a serious business tool and has zero chance of gaining corporate adoption, then you do a flip-flop by predicting Apple will roll out some kind of enterprise-focussed iPhone thingy. What the hell? You're starting to worry me.
Let me clue you in on something that should help you along the way in understanding the fruity consumer company from Cupertino. Apple is purely focussed on the consumer market and not an enterprise play. Not now, not ever. The closest contraption Apple offers in its product line even remotely approaching enterprise-class is the Xserve, a blade server targeted at creative firms to simplify media storage and distribution.
Steve Jobs has no interest in suits carrying iPhones, other than his golfing buddies Eric Schmidt, Marc Benioff, and Larry Ellison.
Gartner, keep your unhinged analysis directed where it belongs...on Microsoft.

Gartner Picks Up Crack Pipe, Says Apple Will Introduce Enterprise-class iPhones
In literal terms you're right. But the phrase "doing a 360" is sometimes used to describe a complete turnaround in opinion. Much like the phrase to come full circle.
Oh well, maybe I'll do a 360 and change that to 180. Or should that be, do a 180 by changing that to 360? To hell with it!
