You've got to start somewhere
This past week has been a big one for me. In fact the past few weeks have been big and I have started to feel like the last twelve months have been leading to this point.
My last post was all about honesty and confronting and acknowledging my struggle to write, which is really about confronting and acknowledging who I am. There has been a thought ingrained in my mind that to be successful I must have a '9 to 5' office job with a set career path, as it turns out this isn't true.
Success and happiness aren't measured by how well you fit into a specific mould, they are measured by benchmarks you determine. This means when all is said and done the only person that can judge your success… is you.
For the last few years I have been trying desperately to fit into the mould and as it turns out, it looks ridiculous on me! Thanks to 'The Guru' a.k.a Helen Thomas of The Little Sage, I was able to gain some much needed perspective, insight and guidance through intuitive life coaching. From here I have begun my journey to finding my truth and living it.
So here I am all poised and puffed up like an emperor penguin ready to spring forth, grab the truth and ride it all the way to inner peace. At some point this inner peace and happiness has to involve eating copious amounts of cupcakes and playing with kittens, but we have to start somewhere. So where is the start? Speaking with The Guru was the best possible beginning but it's up to me to make this happen, not her.
I know what the beginning looks like; a rather pitiful version of myself being generally miserable, moaning and whining about just about everything, brimming with negativity, self-doubt and self-imposed career exile. I also know what the ending looks like; a positive, smiling girl who is light with inner satisfaction, letting what's in her heart spill out onto paper (and possibly being surrounded by kittens). The bit I'm a bit foggy on is 'the middle'.
Walking to work this week while my usual pre-work inner monologue was running through my mind, the answer suddenly struck me and it was something The Guru had said' 'Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll eat forever'. Basically, I spend a lot of my time and energy making other people happy and not enough time making myself happy. In doing this, I've depleted all of my energy reserves and it's making it very hard for me to find energy left for the things that really make me happy.
Rather than give out my energy to other people and make them temporarily happy I should focus my energy on what truly makes me happy and show the people around me how to do it for themselves, rather than just doing it for them (see, the fish bit makes sense now!).
So that's exactly what I have been doing this week. All the photos you see in this post are parts of my life that I love and have brought me joy over the past few weeks, it's a bit of insight into my life. Sometimes I wonder about you as the reader; where do you live? What does your neighborhood look like from your front door? Do you have pets? If you answered yes to that last one, I'm jealous – please send me photos of your pets immediately. By sharing my photos with you I feel like I'm owning up to the things in my life that bring me joy and recharge me, making them mine.
My next step was making work fun again, I find my job really draining as it's not my dream job and being a very playful person I really need the fun aspect to keep me engaged. Lucky for me my boss is a great man, very easy to talk to and open to hearing anything his staff throw at him, and with his support I've got a few games going within our work team to keep me engaged.
While this was a great first step, I still found myself making plans to do things that I didn't really want to do but felt I needed to do in order to keep other people happy. So early on in the week I took a pen and wrote the words 'for you' on my left wrist. It may sound corny but I'm a visual learner and every time I went to do something I would look down at those words and ask myself why I was doing it and if the answer wasn't 'for you' then I didn't go ahead with it.
It was also very exciting and a much needed boost when I received a care package from my best friend in London, Katie. As a surprise she sent me clothes, scarves, a coffee mug, shoes, my favourite chocolate and novelty moustaches. Knowing that these things had been with Katie and the time and love she had put into sending them really touched me and reminded me that I have people in my life that love me for me, it made me feel so cared for and special. I want to send her a care package too but apparently Koala's can't be sent via the Royal Mail.
This week I made time for good friends, people that recharge and energise me and I avoided the ones that drain me. I made a point of taking 30 minutes out of the office to sit in the park and draw, think and listen to music, time that was just for me, where I could do whatever I wanted. But most importantly, I made time to write. All week I've had a million ideas and thoughts in my brain and I've been feeling full and energised. As each day has come and gone I've felt the light in me get brighter and brighter again, with all of these descriptive words you can see what I meant about being a visual learner.
It hasn't been an easy week by any means and there are times where I've found myself entertaining a negative thought, starting to feel jealous or insecure, letting doubt and worry creep into my mind and letting myself get down again. Each time this has happened I've had to actively say to myself 'it's okay, those thoughts are normal don't beat yourself up. Now let them go, move on and don't let them back in'.
For the first time in a long time I am starting to feel like my old self again and I can feel this excitement building in me, ready for all the great things that are going to happen this year. A big part of this has been the incredible comments some of you left on my last post. You may think that leaving those comments doesn't mean much, but it means a lot to me. Your comments inspire me and it feels so good to know other people are out there thinking and feeling the same thing, so thank you, it was a huge confidence boost for me.
This week I am continuing with everything I started last week but it is going to be more challenging, I have a very full week of work and I'm worried I'll slip back into old habits and negativity! I'm sure there is a lot to be learned from this week and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you.

The British Insurance Brokers' Association (BIBA) has given its support to the government's signposting proposals, which it believes will maximise the likelihood of older customers finding insurance, in its response to a Government Equalities Office consultation paper.
The consultation outlines the government's intention to end age discrimination in the provision of goods and services and to encourage action to improve access to insurance products. It outlines signposting, a system where individuals receive helpful guidance that directs them to a suitable insurance provider if they are refused insurance based on their age, as an initiative to achieve this.
Insurance is widely available from insurance brokers for all ages and improving access to financial services particularly for young and older drivers, and older travellers seeking insurance is important and signposting is the most effective way to achieve this.
Graeme Trudgill of BIBA says, "Many customers experience difficulty obtaining insurance because they do not know where to find it if they have been rejected from a particular provider such as their bank or a comparison site, because not all providers cover all age groups."

"The paranoia was fulfilled" – that's how Joan Didion described the murders carried out in 1969 by Charles Manson and his band of devoted followers known as "The Family." Translation? The late sixties were already a time of intense political change and civil unrest. Throw in sensationalized murders and an equally dramatic trial, and this period was officially the craziest and most unsettling in American history, no matter one's political or ideological leanings. In Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson, Jeff Guinn traces the hardscrabble origins of the boy who grew up to become the infamous cult leader and murderer. Although Manson did have a somewhat unstable home life, he exaggerated or fabricated childhood tales of woe to win sympathy and devotion from his followers. In the true fashion of an "opportunistic sociopath," as Guinn describes him, Manson used skills obtained in prison, like Dale Carnegie's popular How to Win Friends and Influence People program, to manipulate followers and bring them under his control. His teachings that "Helter Skelter", the end of an orderly American society, was close at hand led to the "Tate murders," where pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four others were brutally killed. Additionally, his followers murdered several other people before and after this most infamous crime.
Guinn does an excellent job alternating national and world history with Manson's development, meticulously chronicling his childhood and adolescence in and out of reform schools, his young adulthood as a petty repeat criminal, and his time in Haight-Ashbury, the neighborhood that was the epicenter for the darker side of the hippie movement where Manson did much of his initial recruiting. Those who enjoyed Vincent Bugliosi's Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders will appreciate this in-depth account of these suspenseful and chilling crimes. As James Lee Burke writes in his cover review: "Hang on, reader. This is a rip-roaring ride you won't forget."
Amanda Knox is back in the news again with her retrial underway, and Cartwheel by Jennifer duBois couldn't have come at a better time. duBois maintains that her book isn't an actual account of Knox's experience, but the story was inspired by the case.
Much like Knox, Lily studies abroad for a semester, though her experience is in Argentina and not Italy. Lily and another student, Katy, live with a host family. Initially, Lily is enthralled with her new surroundings in Buenos Aires as she goes to class and people-watches at cafés, but eventually she becomes bored and takes on a job at a local bar. After Katy is found stabbed to death, Lily, a coworker and her boyfriend are all implicated in the murder, and Lily is taken to jail.
The story is told from the perspectives of several key characters. The reader first sees Lily's point of view as she arrives in Buenos Aires and starts to explore her new surroundings. The perspective then changes to her parents, the prosecuting attorney and Lily's boyfriend, Sebastian.
Readers will feel like jurors at Lily's trial. The conclusion to this story is more resolute than Knox's, but the reader is still left to make up his or her own mind, and no two readers will have the same experience. Interested in a reading about the real Amanda Knox? Checkout her new memoir titled Waiting to be Heard.
For three years, 10 months and 12 days, Regina LeClaire was held captive, the sex slave of a sadistic madman. It was only a bizarre twist of fate that led to her liberation and return to her family. Now, almost seven years later, she continues to see her therapist weekly to help cope with the post-traumatic stress and daily fears that keep her imprisoned in a self-imposed isolation. Everything changes, though, when 12-year-old Tilly Cavanaugh is rescued after being trapped for 13 months in a similar type of hell. Tilly's parents ask Reeve, as she is now known, to help their daughter readjust to life outside of captivity. There is a significant difference between these two situations, however. Unbeknownst to anyone, Tilly had more than one abuser. The man she dubbed "Mister Monster" is still out there and she knows he is watching.
The Edge of Normal by Carla Norton is a gritty, suspenseful story that is as unsettling as it is spellbinding. The reader is, at turns, in awe of Reeve's courage as she relives her past to help Tilly, and frightened as the villain continues his surveillance of his recently freed prize. Notable author Chevy Stevens summed it up best when she stated, "The Edge of Normal is a heart-pounding thrill ride that had me holding my breath to the very end. With a compelling, tough-as-nails heroine and a truly terrifying villain, this is a book you won't soon forget."
This is Norton's debut fiction novel, and it has already garnered the Royal Palm Literary Award. Norton has previously had success as a true crime writer with The New York Times bestseller Perfect Victim: The True Story of the Girl in the Box which was co-written with Christine McGuire. This horrific account of a woman kept in a box under her captor's bed except when brought out to be tortured has become required reading for the FBI Behavioral Sciences Unit and obviously inspired some aspects of The Edge of Normal. Though not a novel for the faint of heart, this is an excellently written story that has all the markings of another bestseller for Ms. Norton.
Before The Beginning of Everything starts, Ezra Faulkner leads a pretty happy life. He's the popular star of the tennis team with a beautiful girlfriend. That all changes the day he catches his girlfriend cheating on him at a party. After storming out of the party, he is hit by a car. In an instant, his tennis career ends and he goes from the most popular student at Eastwood High to the most pitied. Robyn Schneider's new teen novel The Beginning of Everything picks up just after what Ezra calls his "personal tragedy," as he gives up his tennis racket and joins the debate team, makes new friends, reconnects with old ones and falls in love again.
As Ezra settles in with his new less popular group of friends, he meets Cassidy Thorpe, a former debate champion who dropped out of her old private school, deserting her debate team and leaving a trail of secrets in her wake. Cassidy and Ezra are paired up as debate partners and eventually become friends as they prepare for debate tournaments and participate in flash mobs. It doesn't take long for Ezra to fall for the mysterious Cassidy, despite his friend Toby's warnings. Ezra tries to get to know Cassidy despite her reluctance to open up.
Schneider's story is a funny, realistic teen novel that deals with Ezra's ability to overcome his "personal tragedy," and deal with life's many issues that come after. The Beginning of Everything is perfect for fans of John Green's novels who are looking for a new book that's funny, while at times heartbreaking.
Two very different cats play lead roles in new largely wordless books for young readers. International feline superstar Hello Kitty makes her graphic novel debut in Hello Kitty: Here We Go! by Jacob Chabot. After a quick introduction to her friends and family, HK's global adventures begin. Making her way through locations real and imaginary, the jet-setting cat finds new friends, exciting places to explore and strange new creatures to assist her along her path. Each short vignette features Hello Kitty charming her way to adventure, fun and happiness.
Multiple Caldecott-winning author/illustrator David Wiesner's new picture book centers on a tuxedo cat with the completely opposite mood from Hello Kitty. The amusingly misnamed black-and-white feline Mr. Wuffles! is a curmudgeonly creature with no interest in the toys that his owner brings him. Until suddenly, a new toy appears in Mr. Wuffles' world – that of a small spaceship commanded by a group of tiny green aliens. Wiesner's ability to realistically illustrate the movements of a lazy cat who suddenly becomes interested in the visitors is remarkable. The aliens' ship is in need of repair after being batted around and chomped by Mr. Wuffles. They receive aid from an unexpected group of under-the-radiator insects who have also been terrified by the cat. Ant, ladybug and alien "speak" to each other through art to assist each in mystifying their feline tormentor and concocting an escape for the otherworldly creatures. In this short video, David Wiesner introduces Mr. Wuffles! and his artistic process.
Lovable each in their own way, these two furry, whiskered cats bring their adventures in paneled, graphic novel format, introducing young readers to visual literacy and expanding their imaginations.
Journalist Allen Salkin tells the story of one of the most amazing success stories in television history in From Scratch: Inside the Food Network. Today, the Food Network is a major entity that generates over $1 billion in revenue annually and reaches over 100 million homes. The network is known for making its stars household names, and both the network and its stars have tie-in cookbooks as well as their own lines of cookware, utensils and small appliances. The network even has its own magazine that features articles about food trends, lifestyle tips and, of course, recipes from its stable of chefs. In October 1993, when what was then called the Television Food Network came on the air, this success was beyond even their wildest imaginations. At that time, there were only a few celebrity chefs and even fewer television chefs. Stars like Julia Child, Martin Yan and Jeff Smith all appeared on PBS or the occasional cooking segment on a show like Good Morning America. No one could have imagined how the network would evolve or its meteoric rise to success.
Now, in time for the Food Network's 20th anniversary, Salkin brings readers behind-the-scenes stories from the beginning to its current mind-boggling level of success. With this many big personalities, you know that it's hot in this kitchen. Readers won't believe the reactions of a couple of stars when their shows came to an end. They may be even more surprised by how much some stars struggled to become comfortable cooking on camera. When Alton Brown came up with his idea for Good Eats, he originally wrote down the three things he wanted to combine to create it. "Julia Child, Mr. Wizard, Monty Python." During her first meeting with network executives, Rachael Ray announced, "I clearly don't belong here, I'm not a chef. You've been duped."
Salkin was given inside access to the network and its employees, including executives and stars, so he can bring readers the astonishing — and sometimes legendary — stories of what actually took place behind the scenes. He doesn't hold back. From Scratch includes quotes, documents and scandalous stories that will surprise even longtime fans.
Yesterday, New Zealander Eleanor Catton was announced as the winner of the 2013 Man Booker Prize, Britain's highest literary accolade, for her second novel, The Luminaries. At 28, Catton is the youngest author to be honored with this award, and her book, at 832 pages, is the wordiest winner.
The Luminaries is the story of interwoven lives set during the New Zealand gold rush of 1866. Prostitute Anna is arrested the day that three men with connections to her disappear from the same coastal New Zealand town. Catton's remarkable web of unsolved crimes and mysteries creates an intricate plot with memorable characters. The Luminaries is rich in historical and geographical detail yet delivers this haunting story within a story in a contemporary tone.
Other titles on the shortlist this year include A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki, Harvest by Jim Crace, The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri, The Testament of Mary by Colm Toibin and We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo.
Earlier this year the Man Booker Prize Foundation stirred up controversy when it announced that the field of eligible candidates will be broadened going forward. The prize will now be eligible to writers from any country, including the United States, as long as the book is published in English and in the United Kingdom.
Librarian Mindy McGinnis's debut novel, Not a Drop to Drink, shows us just what it would take to live outside of civilization, doing whatever it takes to survive just one more day. Sixteen-year-old Lynn has spent her life defending her most precious commodity: her freshwater pond. The world's water supply has run dangerously low, and the remaining population is struggling to make it at any cost. Some are packed into cities with strict rules for living and the ever- present threat of cholera looming. Others, like Lynn and her mother, make their own way, eking out a living in the country.
Their only neighbor, a mysterious older man named Stebbs, is their last link to the way things used to be, when people helped one another during tough times. When Lynn finds herself injured and alone after a violent attack, Stebbs helps her find her purpose and her place in the world. Lynn's mother always taught her not to trust strangers – shoot first, ask questions later. What Lynn didn't know was how strangers can become family more precious than the water she has guarded and how family, though bound by blood, can be really nothing more than strangers. Readers of teen dystopian fiction will be sure to find themselves loving Not a Drop to Drink.
Montana Moore is a flight attendant with the dream of finding and marrying her perfect man in David Talbert's Baggage Claim. After witnessing her mother's fourth marriage and her younger sister's surprise engagement, Montana seems destined to always be the bridesmaid.
While weighed down with baggage from past relationships, Montana remains an incurable romantic with her head in the frothy clouds of the friendly skies. She is determined not to show up to her sister's engagement party dateless and deal with the pity and scorn of her family. Her resolution leads her to concoct a crazy husband-finding plan over the course of 30 days and 30,000 miles. Potential suitors include a young music producer, a respected pastor and a city councilman with sights on higher political office. This romantic quest is filled with laughs, life lessons and Montana's ultimate realization that love may have been close to home the whole time.
David Talbert is a Morgan State University graduate and a highly respected playwright. He has written and directed 14 nationally acclaimed touring productions that have earned him 24 NAACP nominations and wins for Best Playwright of the Year and the prestigious Trailblazer Award. Talbert also received the New York Literary Award for Best Playwright of the Year. With the film adaptation of Baggage Claim, Talbert is the first African American filmmaker to adapt and direct his own novel. The film boasts an all-star cast that includes Taye Diggs, Paula Patton and Djimon Honsou, and is in theaters now. Check out the trailer for a sneak peek at this entertaining ensemble.
In Neil Gaiman's latest children's book, Fortunately, The Milk, a father goes through an incredible series of side adventures as he tries to return home with a bottle of milk from the local store. In fact, it seems as if this hapless man encounters every sort of being from children's literature: aliens, dinosaurs, pirates, vampires (which Gaiman calls 'wumpires'), ponies and human-sacrificing islanders. After the father is late coming home with milk for his children's cereal, he relates a tale that is both fantastic and silly about travelling through time with a very intelligent Stegosaurus. Naturally, his children don't believe a word he says, but a twist at the end makes them wonder if there was any truth in his alibi.
Gaiman, whose past books include Coraline and The Graveyard Book, shares a story that could easily be turned into a Tim Burton film. Burton and Gaiman have collaborated in the past and it feels as if this book was written with a movie deal in mind. The pen and ink illustrations by Skottie Young add to the humor and give a definite comic book flavor to the tale. For youngsters who enjoy a fast-paced read with plenty of pictures, Fortunately, The Milk delivers in barely more than 100 pages.

A Biased Look at the New York Yankees, the Greatest Franchise in the History of Sports
[powered by WordPress.]
The question I'm asked most about my new site is, "What does the name mean?" Plain and simple, the New York Yankees, along with George Steinbrenner, are baseball's savior. The league would not exist the way it does now if it weren't for the Yankees. Let's look at the numbers…..
First, George Steinbrenner gives away more money in revenue sharing and the luxury tax then any other team in the league. It's not even close. That number is set to be close to $100 million this year. That's more then most team's payrolls and most of it goes to the so called "poor teams." I know the luxury tax goes into the league's coffers, but it's the owners money to play with and you know Bud's into helping out the little guys. Where would the Royals be if it weren't for the paycheck they get from King George.
Second, the Yankees make the rest of the team's money. A lot of money. They've led the league in road attendance from from 2002 through 2004. In addition, every team requests to have the Yankees come to their stadium. A lot of people would point to this year as a decline because they finished a close second to the Red Sox, but the only reason that happens is because we're forced to play 10 games in the world's largest kitty litter box (Fenway Park) that holds around 35k, while the Red Sox benefit from playing in Yankee Stadium, where the Yankees broke the American League record for attendance this year. So those 10 games in the shit box, whether they sell out or not, lowers their average attendance on the road.
Take the Yankees out of the equation, and you have something akin to a very popular International League or Pacific Coast League. Despite the fact that everyone hates the Yankees, everyone knows that the Yankees are needed.
And since we're on the subject of the Red Sox, it's interesting that they squeaked into the playoffs. It took a bigger choke job (Indians) to get them in, but they'll be there. They say if you put an infinite number of monkeys into a room with an infinite number of typewriters, one of them by accident will produce something Shakespearian. The same can be said for the 2004 Boston Red Sox. A loser franchise finally beat all the odds and did it. Unfortunately for them, their luck has run out. The Red Sox will get squashed in 2005 and this year, they won't be able to hide behind some stupid curse.

dude, give me a break, I am so sick of hearing yankees fans wax poetic about the great George.
He is not doing anything remarkable whatsoever. The thing is the Yankees play in NY, aka the biggest market in North America! It's not like he is sacrificing anything by spending a lot on players, that's how he maximmizes revenue. Once your payroll is $150M if paying an extra $50 significantly improves your chances of making the playoffs/winning the world series hen it IS PROFIT MAXIMIZING TO DO SO!
If George cut payroll to $60M he would lose all those bandwagon fans as they yankees became subject to the normal competition cycle (compete-rebuild-compete…)
Let's stop the idolotry with steinbrener, he is a business man, he's just making money the way you can in NY.
Yankees, blah, blah, blah…
The biggest group of band wagon fans around. These same "lifelong" Yankees fans were the same "lifelong" Met fans in 1986.
Yankees lose, Yankees lose, daaaaaaaaaaa YAAAANKKKEEEEESS LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSEEEEEE!

Wyna 「ウィナ」Enigmatic Contradiction
Here's a little about my collection...
♡ I love variety! My collection makes little sense, but there is some semblance of organization, I thiiiink.
♡ I organize my figures by theme. See my lists!
♡ Trading figures are my favorite! Their small size makes them an easy fit anywhere.
♡ I have lots to say about the personality of each character I collect! I'm most certainly a creepy 2D fetishist. T_T
♡ I'm lagging behind, stuck in the 90's, 80's and beyond. It's less likely that I will have figures from newer media.
♡ I have an eBay problem.. >_>;
♡ I own Seishoujo ~ FC club #788
... and here's a little about me ~☆
I still have a number of unlisted items that need identification; but being a bit OCD about documentation, I happily became a member of My Figure Collection!
I first became serious about collecting figures in specific around 2010 after trying to fight the urge all my life. I was sure that my overwhelming desire to collect would only be met with financial ruin. xD
Collecting other things, I fail to see why I resisted this. I gave up after my personal library (of novels, encyclopedias, comics, magazines, manga, artbooks, etc) grew to over a thousand pieces.
My very first anime viewing was in my early childhood, when Galaxy Express 999 came on the Sci-Fi channel in the middle of the night. I stuck with Sci-Fi for anime until I was able to rent VHS.. which led me to 3x3 Eyes and much more.
My specialization is hentai and other Japanese erotic media. Somehow I even found myself with a content management job on a huge network of free and subscription sites. That's another story.
As for my character.. I love to study and concoct various social experiments. Human behavioral patterns, individual preference, compatibility and biological response.. these things take up the most of my interest pool. True to these interests, I'm an avid practitioner of BaZi and enjoy educating myself in metaphysics, philosophy, parapsychology, sexuality and other topics along that line. Many have described me as having an over-the-top-creepily dedicated type of personality and I use all the talents I have and hone to ensure the best success in dealing with others' hearts!
It would take too long to list everything I'm passionate about. I tend run my own private clubs and dabble in a bit of it all.
I may seem hard to get close to at times, but I'm always putting my best foot forward.
Let's get along well, okay? ^_^

Tampa, Florida -- The Krewe of the Nautilus had 10 VIPs on their float today -- 10 Bay area children all battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy.
The hope was to give the kids a day away from the hospital to let them just be kids again.
Also, there was a stroller parade today featuring dozens of homemade pirate ships. The winning entries were each given foam pirate swords.
The Gasparilla Day Parade is next Saturday afternoon. It traditionally attracts a crowd of up to a half million people.

Fire It Up!!! Level I Pistol Progressions!
Howdy CFB!
Hope you're pumped up for Friday and the weekend! Here is a little video blog I put together to explain the Level I Programming for the Pistol Work you should be doing on Thursdays after class. If you have any questions or would like some help figuring out the program please get in touch and we'll get you set up.
Have a great weekend!

What do you do when you wake up? Try This!
Congrats to all the people that performed the CrossFit Total last week and hit some new PR's! Lot's of hard work paying off and it's awesome to see. Keep up the hard work and let's keep crushing it as we head into the Fall.
As a coach I hope to continually teach you new things and give you tools to improve yourselves. Over the past week if you've been taking the noon class with me you may have experienced a new warmup that improves your mobility and gets you ready to move with the barbell. That warmup is a variation on the morning warmup I learned from The Movement Fix. I've been giving it to a number of my private training clients as well and it seems like it really helps everyone loosen up and move a lot smoother.
If you workout in the morning or don't want to sit around all day getting tight before the evening classes, then you should give the warmup in the video above a try, every morning for the next week. Let me know how it goes. If you're unclear about some of the movements let me know and I'll get you fixed up.
If you'd like to see the improvement this makes be sure to test and re-test with a couple of air squats before and after.
Here's the routine:
10 shoulder rotations
10 prayer stretches
10 crab walk rocks
10 ankle moves
10 hip rotations
10 straight leg raises
10 hip extensions
repeat on other leg
spine 10 cat camels (don't push the ranges of motion)

Do you have what it takes?
Here's the RRT on Monday finding some rhythm in the Quad…
Do you have what it takes to Race?
Have you ever seen an eight racing at top speed? Are you interested in experiencing that for yourself? Can you follow? Can you push yourself? Can you push others? Do you have discipline? Will you work hard and find a way to push on even when pain and that little voice inside your head tells you to stop?
Then you should tryout for the Renegade Rowing Team.
We'll be training twice a week starting mid July and racing in September. More details are on their way.
Comment if you're ready! Tryouts in July!
That's right, it's finally warm and nice outside and we're doing an all out 1k row in the gym! So, what are you going to do in preparation and during the 1k to get through it and back outside? Here is a solid warmup and 3 skills to get you ready and give you something to focus on when that voice inside your head tries to tell you to stop.
Renegade Rowing Club Warmup:
1min – 1/2 Legs Only
1min – Full Legs Only
1min – Legs and Body Only
1min – Full Strokes
1min – Pause @1/2 Slide Every Stroke
5min – 10 Strokes On/ 10 Strokes Off, 15 On/15 Off, 20 On/20 Off
Performing an appropriate warmup for the workout that is set out each day can make or break a performance. Above is the warmup we use fairly consistently in classes at CrossFit Boston and at the Renegade Rowing Club. It's a good 10min warmup to focus on posture, control, and connection. Checkout how slow the Renegade Rowing Club approaches the catch in the beginning. Executing this drill with control will allow you to really focus on putting technique changes into effect and hitting that catch with good timing and connection.
Please share what you do for a warmup when rowing is involved in the workout. What is your focus?
Posture, Control, Connection … Get Some!
- Posture – When dealing with posture we're looking for the torso to be stacked and strong at all times, whether you're in the lay back or swinging forward to prepare for the next catch.
- Control – When talking about control we are looking at the smoothness of the recovery and how the seat moves toward the catch. Does it rush forward for the next stroke? Is there control in the last few inches of the slide to change direction without pushing the boat backwards? I like to think of control as an ability to stop at any point in time and be in a strong position.
- Connection – Last and most important, connection! Is the seat and handle connected and moving together into and out of the catch as if connected by a strap? If you can focus on keeping your hips and hands connected as you apply pressure to the footboards you'll be able to find suspension and become weightless on your seat. If you want to save some energy and be more efficient during your rowing wods, connection is where it's at.

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.

Video Review: What do you think of your Form?
Video Review
From time to time it can be beneficial to look at yourself on camera. No we don't care about the aesthetics or the fashion. We're looking to gain feedback and a mental picture. We're looking for just one or two cues that might give us a smoother, more powerful stroke. What's going right? What's going wrong? What can we do better?
You should be asking yourself, "What do I look like now? How do I move now? What could use some extra focus and improvement next time?" Don't dwell on to many things at a time, just find one or two things that might make your life on the erg or in the boat a little better. Go work on them. Then reassess in a couple of weeks.
The Renegade Rowing Club has agreed to help everyone by taking a look at their strokes. If you'd like feedback similar to this, post a 20 second clip of you rowing to YouTube and share it with us in the comments of this post. I'll do my best to give you a couple of things to work on!
For each of the following videos I'll be ranking each rower on their posture, control, and connection. I'll use a five point scale where 1 = poor and 5 = perfect. When dealing with posture we're looking for the torso to be stacked and strong at all times. When talking about control we are looking at the smoothness of the recovery and how the seat moves toward the catch. Does it rush forward for the next stroke? Is there control in the last few inches of the slide to change direction without pushing the boat backwards? Last and most important, connection, are the seat and handle connected and moving together into and out of the catch as if connected by a belt.
Take a look and share what you might focus on next time you row!
Posture: 3, Control: 3, Connection: 2 – video
Feedback: Nice job getting the body over. Don't let the seat stop at the catch. Be ready to push with the legs the second you hit the catch and keep the seat and hands connected.
Posture: 3, Control: 3, Connection: 4 – video
Feedback: Nice horizontal hands. Don't let the handle pause at the finish. Focus on quicker hands away as if there were opposing magnets on the handle and your chest trying to push those hands away out of the finish.
Posture: 4, Control: 3, Connection: 3 – video
Feedback: Great posture and nice job getting the body over. Try not to be so rigid and don't break the elbows as you initiate the drive. Relax a little on the recovery and make everything smooth.
Posture: 3, Control: 2, Connection: 3 – video
Feedback: Nice job getting the arms extended and ready for the catch. Try to not be so robotic and rigid at the finish. Focus on quick and smooth hands away. The handle should always be moving.
Posture: 4, Control: 3, Connection: 2 – video
Feedback: Good posture and nice horizontal hands. Don't let the shoulders and torso reach for more at the catch. Focus on staying connected as you approach the catch. See if you can get the body over and find that reach earlier in the recovery, before you get to half slide.
Posture: 3, Control: 4, Connection: 2 – video
Feedback: Great work getting your body over on the recovery and getting prepared by half slide. Don't let your posture go as you approach the catch. Focus on bringing the handle with you as you push the knees down. The first inch or two of the drive you are shooting the slide, so keep a big chest and solid abs/back as you push.
Posture: 3, Control: 3, Connection: 2 – video
Nice power and push on the drive. Try to keep your hands on one level plain and don't let them drop coming into the catch. Focus on pointing the toes as you finish and then getting the proper sequence of arms away first, bodies over, and then knees come up during the recovery. Everything blends, but that's the order of firing in terms of sequence.

The Toulouse Tragedy: Adequate Response?
March 19, 2012-the Toulouse tragedy prematurely stole the lives of a rabbi and three young children. The attack, carried out by terrorist Mohamed Mereh occurred outside of the Jewish school in Toulouse, France, Ozar Hatorah. A father taken away from his children and a mother left childless, the Jewish world was struck with sorrow and shock.
In New York City, high terror alerts caused the NYPD to take extra measures to ensure the safety of Yeshiva University's student body , especially during this vulnerable time.A statement from NYPD Director of Intelligence stated, "Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly has directed that...coverage of Jewish neighborhoods and institutions...continue out of concern over the attack in Toulouse and concern over a copycat....Precautions are being taken because of New York's large Jewish community and because New York City remains on the top of the terrorist target list."
The question is, regarding both safety precautions and the grief factor, has Stern's response to this tragedy been adequate?
From a perspective of community support, efforts were unfortunately lacking. There may have been upset chatter through the hallways, yet no official memorial was held for the lives lost. Even though this wasn't our school, or even our country, the student body was nevertheless affected. International student Rebecca Assaraf, SCW '12, suffered a great family loss that day; Eva Sandler, who lost her husband and two children, is Assaraf's first cousin.
Reliving that horrifying morning, Assaraf said, "I first heard about the shooting on the internet at 7:00 a.m. It was on a French newspaper website. Then I checked Facebook to see if everyone I know in France was okay. When the phone rang at my house, it was my uncle telling us that the victims were my cousin's husband and their two children. My family is shocked and in a lot of pain."
Concerning Stern's response to the tragedy, Assaraf said, "I was a little bit disappointed that Stern has done nothing. Not even a tehillim gathering to remember the victims. Just because it happened thousands of miles away doesn't mean we do not have to get involved We are related to Yonathan, Aryeh, Gavriel, and Miriam. Doesn't Am Yisroel make one? When one of us cries, all of us cry."
President of TAC, Leora Niderberg explained, "We clearly feel that the victims' memories should be commemorated and that the Jewish community, both within YU and Stern as well as within the greater Jewish community, is recognizing this loss. It just so happens we were caught at a time one week before Pesach break, a week when TAC itself was busy running a spotlight week on domestic violence and abuse within the Jewish community. It was just too crazy of a time to really demand people to either come out to a different event, or be involved in asiyum." Niderberg went on to say, "To be something worthwhile, students must invest energy to make it into a truly honorable event. Without enough time, there simply wasn't enough space to put in a commemoration."
On the day of the shooting, an sstud was sent out informing the student body of the incident as well as what was being done to further ensure our safety. Sent from the Department of Safety and Security it stated, "Security concerns have increased as a result of the tragic shooting in Toulouse, France this morning. While there may have not been any specific threats to us or to any areas adjacent to our campuses, the Yeshiva University Security Department in coordination with the New York City Police Department has heightened its state of readiness with certain modifications to its staffing and procedures in order to provide our community with a safe environment." NYPD is in contact with Yeshiva on a daily basis, giving updates about the strengthening of security around Stern premises, or just to inform the security general of their daily precautions.
However, whether a perfunctory online notification was a sufficient response to such a great tragedy remains in question. What was a student to think after hearing about the attack and then seeing NYPD in front of Stern school buildings and Brookdale without further explanation?
Sara Yitzhaky, SCW '13, admitted, "Although necessary, the amount of security is actually what made me nervous. It made it so much more real."
Acknowledging the increased Stern security, Dean Karen Bacon added "I have confidence in our security team that they are very knowledgeable and very connected, and they are always on the alert." However, student's responsibility to keep themselves safe is in no way mitigated. Continued Bacon, "We always have to be on alert, not only for ourselves but for the people around us. We are all responsible for one another, and we have to look out for each other."
Regardless, living in fear is neither desirable nor helpful. Bacon explained, "I think we always have to be on the alert. But we can't become paranoid, because, in the end, that is what will paralyze us." With that in mind, Bacon wants the Stern body to feel confident in the continued and dedicated vigilance of the security. Highlighting the exceptional security here at Stern College, Bacon noted, "After 9/11, many organizations had to step up their security. Here at Stern, however, we didn't have to do much differently because we were always a place that is very alert when it comes to security."
Notwithstanding Stern's response to the tragedy, both in terms of heightened security and the unfortunate lack of a memorial service, Assaraf takes a lesson from the tragedy. She explains, "This didn't happen without a reason. Perhaps we are being sent a wake-up call. As Jews, we are taught that there are no coincidences, and so we have to reflect upon what has happened. We should try to better ourselves, and I believe that commemorating the victims here at Stern in some way to show the unity of the Jewish people is a good start."

Set inside an online roleplaying game and follows five players' journey on epic quests...all from the comfort of their computer chairs. Read more
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on June 19, 2012.
About this project
"Four Tanks and a Healer" is a funny animated series about the lives true gamers live, as told from the inside of the very games they play. From single stay-at-home moms to college kids to lonely old men, the world of role playing games contains a wide variety of faces. And even more, all of these total strangers share their time together battling trolls, rescuing would-be kings, and debating over whether to wear the +1 to attack gloves or the +1 to defense ones. From Lord of the Rings Online to Everquest to World of Warcraft and more, the world of MMORPGs (Massively Multi-Player Online Role Playing Games) is an awesome escape for people of all backgrounds and ages.
"Four Tanks" is a hilarious look at a group of first-time gamers ("noobs") who are learning the hard way that even video games can have strict codes of conduct, social ladders, and pompous elites.
The action and adventure are high, the fun never ceases, and the line between fantasy and reality becomes slightly blurry as Four Tanks and a Healer takes a fun and unique look inside the world of online gaming.

Catfish bodes really well for upstart documentaries. These guys just stumbled onto a story, but they happened to be shooting it so well they could present a coherent film about it.
It sets up the characters, their relationships, the geography and the routines of Facebook really well. Yaniv Schulman has been mailed paintings an eight-year-old girl Abby made of his photography. Yaniv begins an online and telephone relationship with the family, including her mother Angela, and an older daughter that becomes possibly romantic.
More after the jump..
It gets uncomfortable very fast. I mean, Yaniv is trying to do a good thing to support a girl and her family, and it escalates. He's lying around all topless looking dreamy and this is some girl in another state.
It becomes a mystery, but still why is he so involved? Just live your own life in New York. I mean, it's very curious to watch, but not to do. Yaniv even gets it. About a half hour in he feels he's crossing the line, but that's when it becomes a fascinating film.
All the things you think about doing but shouldn't, they do. It's All the President's Men of the Facebook age, only there's no national consequence. Actually, there is a social relevance, and it is on the personal level.
As they uncover the truth about Abby's family, it becomes tragic. It's a poignant demonstration of how Facebook can be an outlet for people in dire situations. Nothing can change the reality whether she stops Facebooking or not. The subject still has a lifelong responsibility, so what's it to her if she manipulates people online. And most people would not be making a film about it so wouldn't have reason to follow up on the mystery.
Video is holding up better in theaters now. Either they've lit this really well or the new cameras can compensate for low light. Their videography is very steady, even when they're walking or hiding the camera. That proves that shaking cameras are fake Hollywood crap. Real filmmakers, even beginning ones, can keep a handheld camera still. It might jolt a little but even when they're in motion the movement is slight.
When "Catfish" is finally explained at the end, it's an apt metaphor for a lot of things. I think they should just tell people what it means because it's so profound it would connect with people, but marketing knows everything. I feel bad for the catfish, but I guess I need them to be catfish or there'd be no me to feel bad for them. You'll understand at the end.
Consider posting a comment.

Brevard County deputies are searching for a man who fled a Merritt Island insurance office after a robbery today.
Local 6 News partner Florida Today reports that deputies said a man entered the Aflac Insurance Office at 2094 N. Courtenay Parkway, near the intersection with Skyline Boulevard on Merritt Island, and bound an unidentified employee, forcing the employee from the store at gunpoint.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Deputy Maria Fernez said the robber forced the employee into the employee's car and drove to a nearby bank, telling the victim to withdraw money. The robber drove the employee back to work and then fled in the vehicle.
The robber is described as a man in his twenties. He was wearing a black baseball cap, black pants and a white shirt.
The driver was seen in a four-door white 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante. It has tinted windows and the front bumper is missing. Anyone who sees the car is asked to call the sheriff's office at 321-633-7162 or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS. The suspect is described as a man in his early 20s with some facial hair and a thin build. He was wearing a white shirt, black pants and black baseball hat at the time.

Well looky here, I ate some bread!
I actually decided to try this bread the other night with my family at dinner and I could not live on with the rest of my life without posting about it with you guys. This bread is fantastic. We had pulled pork sandwiches with it and let me tell you, it was incredible. Now I know I am still talking about bread here and not chocolate-covered-things like I normally am, so this really means something here! This bread has that kind of taste that makes you feel like your mom made it.
I might not be the best person to be making that comparison, considering my mom has not made bread from scratch for us (I mean I'm sure it'd take like 2 minutes to whip up right? Come on, she's totally slacking! Just kidding…love you mom).
Anyhooo, this bread has this light texture but a very soft, yummy crustiness to it that you can taste just enough crust to be happy but not too much where your mouth must flex it's strongest muscles to chew (I think we all know what I'm talking about here). I'm pretty sure you could stuff this bread into a pillow case and fall asleep in under a minute. So soft and tasty!
This bread is from this adorable little bakery restaurant place called Red Hen Bread. They are located in the Chicago area, but if you happen to own a restaurant or just want to order their bread, you totally can! You can click here to go straight to their website, if you click here you can actually order a gift basket of cookies or rolls which is like an amazing idea for anybody for any occasion like even if you want to send your favorite blogger some cookies *hint, hint*, and then you can click here to find out how to purchase their baked goods wholesale. Their pastries looks ah. maze. ing. And how could I turn away from a cookie called the Chocolate Bomb? (then again, who could?!) Contact Red Hen Bread by clicking here, so you can get in on the goodies!
Another thing that I loved about Red Hen was reading their about us page (which you can read here), I love their philosophy and what they stand for. It's so fun reading about people who start a business for such a humble reason (like, just to "bake great bread") and then have it turn into a business where they ship their products to places across the country so other people can enjoy their hard work. It's so inspiring to see how people can put so much care and effort into something they value so much.
Alright, I know I sound like a broken record here but you must try this bread. I have so many ideas in my head of what I would do if I had 512397893 loaves of this bread. Bread pudding, pulled pork sandwiches (already did it, dee-lish), homemade crouton, garlic bread, monster BLT's, Italian beef sandwiches, a big old meatball sub, I guess I might as well say any sandwich…anyways, if ya catch my drift here, I'm trying to tell you guys I think I found out I will never go on a no carb diet because this bread is worth every freaking carb in the world!
P.S. We got another giant loaf of bread from Red Hen Bread a few days after I wrote this post and it is like totally the perfect pillow size. This is dangerous, somebody may or may not catch me sleeping on this bad boy. It's probably even better than those fancy temper-pedic pillows…however, I suggest eating the bread rather than getting your hair all over it. ;)

JACKSONVILLE, FL (First Coast News) -- A young driver got her first taste of the law Sunday.
Za'Dariyah Mishaw was cruising through the parking lot of her condominium complex, enjoying her convertible and the warm Florida sunshine when she saw blue lights approaching from the rear. Officers were in the area for a criminal investigation, saw the girl and her family and tried to lighten the situation.
The young driver stopped and appears to have been cooperative.
It is unclear if 2-year-old Za'Dariyah was speeding or failed to use her turn signal, but she was ticketed for a traffic related infraction. Her uncle Keyth Mishaw said, "Everyone always has bad things to say about the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, well, I want to say BIG PROPS to these officers for making a memorable moment for my family." Clearly her uncle agrees with the citation. "It was a fun moment, brightened up the whole day." Keyth said the officers made a great impression on the little girl.
This was Za'Dariyah's first time in her new car, according to Keyth and she was ticketed. Now, she keeps telling her mom that she wants to pay for her $4 ticket.
Patrol officer Christian Velasco, who gave Za'Dariyah the ticket, said "she was going pretty fast. It took me a while to catch up to her, but we did, and she was cited."
Velasco said when he is out on calls, he tries to interact with members of the community as much as possible.

26-year-old man dead after motorcycle collision
IVA — A 26-year-old man died in Anderson County when his motorcycle collided with a pickup Saturday afternoon.
James Adam Cann was driving his 2005 Honda motorcycle south on Sam Turner Road near Iva, when he crossed the double yellow line, according to Lance Cpl. Billy Elder of the South Carolina Highway Patrol. The motorcycle collided with a northbound 2003 Ford pickup.
The motorcycle driver was pronounced dead at the scene. He was wearing a helmet, Elder said.
The collision occurred at 5:30 p.m. Saturday almost 3 miles south of Iva.
Cann died from multiple injuries, Anderson County coroner Charlie Boseman said.
The pickup was driven by Adam Lamar Terry, of Iva, who had two passengers with him in the car. He was not wearing a seat belt, Elder said, and all three were transported to AnMed Health Medical Center in Anderson for treatment.
Terry was treated and released, said hospital spokeswoman Kari Lutz.
The highway patrol is investigating the collision. Boseman said he was not planning to do an autopsy.

However, has anyone ever noticed how the same panhandlers are often in the same places everyday? Here's what the panhandler had told my friend.
"This is my assigned corner, you will have to talk to the union to get your own corner."
So, at least in North Vancouver, there is actually a union which controls the panhandlers.
I S**t you not.
