Halcrow supporting our efforts to create sustainable communities
Halcrow have joined us in our effort to create sustainable communities, following a lecture given by our President, HRH, The Prince of Wales at one of the company's events earlier this year.
Halcrow, who specialise in planning, design and management services for infrastructure development, have seconded an engineer to work with us part-time.
Tom Upson will be working from our offices for 2-3 days a week for the next six months as an engineering advisor.
Tom said: "It's a great honour to be given this opportunity to work so closely with the Prince's Foundation for Building Community. It's clear from my first few weeks in the role, the passion and dedication of the whole team on delivering sustainable practices across every aspect of their organisation.
Using his extensive experience, Tom will be working with us on a variety of projects, looking at topical issues such as flooding and how to achieve flood-resilient communities.
"I hope that through application of my engineering experience, I will be able to provide a real and valid contribution to the identification of sustainable solutions to help overcome the issues of flooding."
To read the full speech given by HRH, The Prince of Wales, follow the link on the right-hand side of the page.

DBO_Article_article_image Object ( [__table] => article_article_image [_database] => gonyc [id] => 1317 [article_id] => 171 [image_id] => 1322 [image_caption] => A Lesbians Life: Donna Mete
For Donna Mete, establishing A Lesbians Life was not so much a business venture as it was a spiritual conversion. There was no need, materially, for Metes career change; as a conference and tradeshow owner, she was wealthy enough to be the member of a yacht club. But she was troubled as a woman and a lesbian by what she observed in popular culture.
We still only see a fraction of who really makes up this enormously varied lesbian community, Mete says. I became tired of feeling alone in my experience as a woman and as a lesbian.
So Mete made her life A Lesbians Life, a media portal that begins as an Internet community for lesbians and will eventually grow into a television show, a social meeting place and published books. Mete uses a blend of spirituality, psychological guidance, and professional advice to communicate with her audience of women. The website calls for interviews with lesbians who wish to participate in the filming of a television showMete will pitch the show to cable networksa certified therapist provides essays on dealing with breakups and myths about lesbian physicality. A discussion board provides a forum for lesbians who want to touch base with each other.
Most of the world believes we lack money, beauty, interest or sophistication, Mete says. Sometimes I feel like we are just a yawn away from extinction. But in the end, it is because we have very little visible presence in the world. A Lesbians Life is trying to change this in several different ways and obviously the first is in becoming visible, having a voice and being out and in the world where we belong.
If all goes as planned, Mete may soon be the lesbian answer to Dr. Phil, albeit a more attractive and all-inclusive versionwhich is just fine with us.

Story by Debbi Casini Klein | Audio edited by Louis D'Aria | File photo by 90.5 WESA
Vanessa Thompson had dreams of going to college but thought it was financially impossible, until she heard Saleem Ghubril speak at Westinghouse High School about the Pittsburgh Promise.
The scholarship program enables students living in the city of Pittsburgh and attending a Pittsburgh high school to receive money to attend college or a technical school.
Vanessa is now a recent graduate of Chatham University and is working toward her master's degree. Saleem has been the driving force behind the Pittsburgh Promise, working tirelessly since its inception to make sure every Pittsburgh city student has a shot higher education.
"Seven years ago, in 2007, there was the early starts of a very aggressive school reform movement taking place in Pittsburgh," Saleem said. "We made a commitment that we owe it to all of our kids to provide them with the most excellent education that are capable in every one of our neighborhoods in the city of Pittsburgh."
Since 2008, 5,600 students have gone on to higher education, thanks to Saleem and his team, who have worked diligently to procure funding from many sponsors in the Pittsburgh area. Any child is eligible, but there are stipulations: They must graduate with a minimum GPA of 2.5 with at least 90 percent school attendance.
"Every child in the city of Pittsburgh is our child," Saleem said. "Our view on this is that all kids are our kids. And if all kids are our kids, then I would want for your kids the same as I would want for mine, and I would not want for your kids what I would not want for mine."

Assassin's Creed II Comic-Con 2009 Panel ArchiveBy Sterling McGarvey - Posted Jul 23, 2009
[1:42] Sterling M: "Welcome to the Assassin's Creed II: Videogames & Hollywood Converge Panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2009. This is Sterling McGarvey, Sr. Reviews/Previews Editor, and I'll be providing you with all of the blow-by-blow insight from Ubisoft!"
[1:44] Sterling M: "The line for the panel bordered on obscene. People are still piling in, even though it's scheduled to start in just a few minutes. It goes without saying that there's a massive interest in Ubi's sequel here in San Diego."
[1:47] Sterling M: "It looks like the crowds are going to shut off soon and the panel's about to begin. I've already seen one guy dressed as Altair and one as Ezio."
[1:48] Sterling M: "And yes, TwitpÌc is done. "
[1:48] Sterling M: "And we're off. It's a trailer, and lots of applause."
[1:49] Sterling M: "Looks like it's the same trailer from E3 with the assassination of the Venetian nobleman."
[1:50] Sterling M: "Crowd goes nuts when Ezio stabs the first guardsman."
[1:50] Sterling M: "Girl screams "fatality!""
[1:52] Sterling M: "Rapturous applause as Ezio shoots his dagger into the nobleman's chest."
[1:54] Sterling M: "Gaming journo extraordinaire Paul Semel is moderating the panel. Introduces Yannis Mallat, president of Ubi Montreal, Pierre Raymond of Hybrid Technologies, Corey May, scriptwriter of both AC titles, and William Reymond, the film series co-scriptwriter."
[1:54] Sterling M: "Mallat takes the mic: it's his first Comic-Con, and he's happy to be here. First time interacting with the fans. It's meaningful to him, and it's important to share meaning with the audience."
[1:55] Sterling M: "Two years ago, Ubi started its own digital film facility, Ubisoft Digital Arts."
[1:56] Sterling M: "As it developed, it started a partnership with Hybride, who did digital effects for films like 300 and Sin City."
[1:56] Sterling M: """Today, we're going to see the convergence of Hollywood special effects and the gaming industry, says Mallat."
[1:57] Sterling M: ""True convergence is what happens when we reach peoples' minds" says Mallat."
[1:58] Sterling M: "Raymond is on: It's impressive to see a company outside of Hollywood that's an important storyteller."
[1:59] Sterling M: ""Ubisoft is using CG characters like live actors, and the difference between what Hollywood is doing and what we're doing is getting more alike.""
[2:00] Sterling M: "Mallat: "They're leveraging gorgeous visuals with characters with a lot of depth... for the fact that's it's so rich, so character centric, Ubisoft has put a lot into its next gen pipelines and engines, and it's helped create a game that no one has seen before."
[2:01] Sterling M: "Screenshots of behind the scenes content with green screens."
[2:01] Sterling M: "Corey May is about to give a live demo of the E3 build. Crowd goes wild."
[2:03] Sterling M: "Corey explains the effects and more ways that Ezio can weave through crowds. "
[2:04] Sterling M: "I never noticed the crowds, such as firebreathers, within the general public."
[2:04] Sterling M: "May is showing off how to assassinate from a ledge. Ezio hangs from a ledge, stabs the guards, and yanks him down, Sam Fisher style."
[2:05] Sterling M: "As Ezio climbs to the top of a tower, he finds Da Vinci's flying machine."
[2:05] Sterling M: "Crowd goes wild."
[2:06] Sterling M: "Overheard near me: "I'm so buying this already.""
[2:07] Sterling M: "May indicates the game will feature a full day/night cycle. He fast forwards to daytime to show off Ezio's rooftop kills."
[2:08] Sterling M: "May's having trouble getting off the ledge. Someone yells "Right Trigger." Crowd laughs."
[2:09] Sterling M: "After Ezio swandives into the bale, we see how he can perform kills in the hay,."
[2:09] Sterling M: "Also, he can take enemy weapons and use them against guards."
[2:09] Sterling M: "The combat is even more brutal than the first game, as he jams a lance into an enemy."
[2:10] Sterling M: "Altair's character was a bit of a brash jerk, and apparently, Ezio will be a bit different."
[2:10] Sterling M: "He'll be more flamboyant, in some way."
[2:10] Sterling M: "Ezio performs the hit, escapes the guard, dives into a Venetian canal, and he's free. Crowd applauds and whoops."
[2:11] Sterling M: "May explains that Ubi wanted to tell the story in new ways, hence the idea to partner with Hybride."
[2:12] Sterling M: "The filoms tell the story of Giovanni, another assasin who's linked to Ezio."
[2:13] Sterling M: "It's all part of conveying the broad scope of Assassin's Creed's storytelling."
[2:14] Sterling M: "Mallat: "We could have asked another company and outsourced that stuff. But the true convergence I'm talking about, that will make you understand things about the IP, that kind of stuff could not have happened without putting creative people in the same circle.""
[2:15] Sterling M: "Mallat: "I can tell you that when you play the game and see the film, you will understand, because there's a deeper quality because creative people collaborated at the same table.""
[2:16] Sterling M: "May: "If this were bad, I'd say it, since I'm a very cynical person. I promise you sincerely that this project will live up to our high standards.""
[2:17] Sterling M: "Mallat: "On our way to making these projects, we're learning a lot about how to make better games.""
[2:18] Sterling M: "He continues: all of the study that went into touring Italy to study the history and weaponry, and even the actors, led to great gains for both the film and game."
[2:18] Sterling M: "The casting of the film, and the visual pipeline has taught the game development side a lot."
[2:19] Sterling M: "On the other hand, Pierre borrowed some of the in-game engine to drive the green screen backdrops for the film."
[2:20] Sterling M: "Raymond indicates that the level of quality in the game as source material helped more than comics or past films had."
[2:20] Sterling M: "Raymond rolls some footage of facial scanning and mo-cap behind the scenes to demonstrate how the data was used both for the game and for CGI doubles."
[2:21] Sterling M: "Mallat: Ubi is sharing resources for the sake of sharing consistency for both game and film so that it's more credible to discerning audiences."
[2:22] Sterling M: "He continues hammering home the point a quote from a colleague that "1 + 1 = 3."It's not perfect math, but it describes the benefits of working so closely with another team and sharing resources."
[2:23] Sterling M: "Raymond says that it''s crucial for Hollywood to work more closely with the gaming industry to share technology and pipelines to make the process of tie-ins even smoother."
[2:24] Sterling M: "More behind the scenes of computers and green screen filming so that we can see the idea of the backgrounds that will be integrated later."
[2:25] Sterling M: "Raymond explains that directing on a green screen is more difficult when there's the degree of action that the AC film uses."
[2:26] Sterling M: "He talks specs: 15 day shoot, 500 scenes shot, 1800 shots done, 2 cameras that generated 91 hours of tape, 21 actors, 61 actors."
[2:27] Sterling M: "Showing off an exclusive trailer of the behind the scenes filming."
[2:28] Sterling M: "Fight choreography and makeup effects look pretty good. Lots of attention to detail, it appears, from weapons to costumes."
[2:29] Sterling M: "Mallat: This is the biggest undertaking we've invested in the medium. It's the same amount of investment as if we'd shot a feature film. Raymond says that a few more weeks of shooting would've produced a feature film."
[2:30] Sterling M: "Mallat: Ubisoft is already anticipating the convergence of film and games. That's why they're preparing with short films like this. Ultimately, it's up to the fans to decide if they're doing a good job."
[2:31] Sterling M: "Mallat gives a shout-out to Assassin's Creed's Twitter."
[2:32] Sterling M: "Fan question time: Why Italy and not China or...Brooklyn?"
[2:33] Sterling M: "Mallat: We have a defined story arc designed to keep fans into it."
[2:33] Sterling M: "Whereever we set a game, it'll have something to do with the story arc."
[2:34] Sterling M: "May: it's the next logical perspective. You'll understand the connection between the Holy Land and the Renaissance."
[2:35] Sterling M: "Guy dressed as Solid Snake asks why the sudden shift from Desmond Miles to Ezio."
[2:36] Sterling M: "May: It's still Desmond's story. He's back and you'll see him very soon."
[2:36] Sterling M: "A history buff asks whether we'll see more historical figures."
[2:37] Sterling M: "May: so many characters Ezio encounters are historical figures. People on the Internet will tell us how awful we are, but we've worked hard to be accurate."
[2:37] Sterling M: "Logistically, there were two historians, one for architecture, and an Oxford historian."
[2:38] Sterling M: "William Reymond explains that writing the film was no easy task, either. They paid a lot of attention to detail."
[2:39] Sterling M: "New question: how was AC conceived, and how did Ubi greenlight it?"
[2:40] Sterling M: "Mallat: After finishing Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, he worked with a few other studio members on a fairly out-there idea. They decided to build the IP from that. It's based on a book about assassins, as well."
[2:41] Sterling M: "Kid who's too young to buy the game himself asks about the blue barriers. Will they be there this time?"
[2:42] Sterling M: "May: the artificial barriers will be intact, but more malleable. there's got to be borders, though."
[2:42] Sterling M: "Fan asks about the symbols in Desmond's room, and how much they'll be explained."
[2:43] Sterling M: "May says that they'll be explained. What you think they are isn't exactly what they are. They'll be explained."
[2:43] Sterling M: "Mallat calls up the costumed Exio onstage to check out the blades."
[2:44] Sterling M: "Costumed Ezio "shanks" Mallat. Big applause and laughs."
[2:44] Sterling M: "Gamer wants to know if PC version will allow user-created toolset."
[2:45] Sterling M: "Mallate: Tools are the key to making good content. But the tools aren't accessible for the average Joe yet. Their focus is on entertainment more than user-generated content."
[2:46] Sterling M: "Looks like it's a wrap."
[2:47] Sterling M: "Thanks for reading the Assassin's Creed II Liveblog, and be sure to check out http://www.g4tv.com/comiccon for more coverage!"

Hollywood's Golden Stars: Young Stars With Staying Power
Move over Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Snooki and Robert Pattinson. Although we love you to death and enjoy your work, your fame seems to be more of a trend then the real deal. Here are a few young and golden stars who we think will remain on top for a long time. We consider these young talents Hollywood's Golden Stars.
Emma Stone - Not only is Emma gorgeous and talented, but she has replaced the Lindsay Lohan we all hoped to like as an adult. You know, the red hair, freckles, raspy voice and natural talent. Emma's latest movie, Easy A proved to her fans that she has the staying power of a true Hollywood Icon. The twenty-two year old Arizona native's resume keeps getting fatter and fatter as she is set to star in the latest Spiderman installment next year.
Taylor Swift - She writes her own music, plays the guitar and manages to steal the spotlight at every single award show she happens to attend. The country cutie came out of nowhere a few years back and has swept the pop culture scene, proving that her talent is raw and here to stay. Not to mention she became America's Sweetheart the minute Kanye West crawled onto the stage beside her at the MTV Video Music Awards. Grrr!
Blake Lively - This twenty- three year old may have been born into a showbiz family but she has proven that her talent is more than just being at the right place at the right time. We all know Blake as Serena from the hit show Gossip Girl, but she proved that she has acting skills when she starred alongside Ben Affleck in The Town. We guarantee that we will remember this California girl's name in ten years.
Carey Mulligan - She's not only Shia LeBeouf's girlfriend and co-star in Wall Street: Money Never Dies, this London native is one of the most amazing actresses we've seen in a long time. Carey was nominated for an Oscar last year for her role in An Education.
Angus T. Jones - Angus recently re-signed his CBS contract for Two and a Half Men, earning $300,000 per episode making him one of the richest child stars today. That is a pretty remarkable salary for a seventeen year old, considering most of his peers are still in high school either slaving away at a Johnny Rockets or working retail at American Eagle for $8.00 an hour.
Jesse Eisenberg - Not only does Jesse have the top movie at the moment, as the star of the Aaron Sorkin's hit film, The Social Network, but he has some Oscar buzz to go along with that title. Jesse seemed to come out of nowhere, previously starring in Adventureland and now everyone knows of his name and his talent.
Dakota Fanning - This girl has been blowing us away since I Am Sam as one of the most talented child actors of this decade. Who else can say they starred alongside Sean Penn, Denzel Washington and Tom Cruise before hitting puberty? And now she gets to be in the Twilight saga? Dakota is one talented chick.
Zac Efron - Zac's looks put him in the category of heartbreaker, but his fans know that he is also a talent that will stick around longer than most of his High School Musical co-stars. Although his most recent film, Charlie St. Cloud didn't seem to impress us at the box office, his acting skills blew us away. Troy is here to stay.
Bruno Mars - His recent cocaine bust in Vegas aside, this kid has some serious talent. The twenty-five year old has been featured on various albums alongside such artists as B.O.B and Florida and recently released his debut album that has reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 list.
Andrew Garfield - Many of us didn't know who this talented actor was until he blew us away as Eduardo in The Social Network. He blew us away as Mark Zuckerberg's best friend turned enemy in the film and for those of us who has seen it, we are left speechless by his performance. Andrew is set to replace Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spiderman in the newest installment of the comic book remake.

Finally, the player I have been rooting for all year to get a shot offensively on this Rangers team was moved up to the third line tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Jumbles Renney has yet again tweaked the lineups.
- Petr Prucha is out YET again, Nigel Dawes is back in.
- Corey Potter is out after an impressive first game as a Ranger. Did you really think they would keep Wade Redden out another game? He is the big money man.
- Lauri Korpikoski moves down to the 4th line. Another mistake on Renney's behalf. If you want Sjostrom to do some damage do you really think hes going to do it with a slow Aaron Voros and a player in Brandon Dubinsky whose head is bigger than Madison Square Garden lately? Voros should have been slotted into the checking line.
More tonight during the game.

McCaskill Leads Talent by 6% in Missouri Senate Race
The Missouri race for senator is heating up, with Democratic challenger Claire McCaskill leading Republican incumbent Jim Talent by a 49%-43% margin, according to a new poll by the St. Louis Dispatch. With Talent consistently polling below 50%, and with just a little over four months before the November midterms, McCaskill moves closer to victory than ever before. McCaskill, former prosecutor and State Auditor, is highly charismatic and a tough scrapper who's giving Talent a run for his money. She is forward-thinking on social issues, fiscally responsible and a strong supporter of Israel.
The Democrats need six seats to regain control of the Senate. In addition to Missouri, the other hotly contested races are:
-Arizona: Jim Pederson (former Arizona Democratic Chair, businessman) vs. incumbent Jon Kyl
-Pennsylvania: Bob Casey, Jr. (State Treasurer) vs. incumbent Rick Santorum
-Montana: Jon Tester (State Sen. President) vs. incumbent Conrad Burns
-Virginia: James Webb vs. incumbent George Allen
-Ohio: U.S. Rep. Sherrod Brown vs. incumbent Mike DeWine
-Tennessee: Rep. Harold Ford vs. the winner of the Aug. 3 primary (Sen. Bill Frist is retiring)
-Rhode Island: Sheldon Whitehouse (former State Attorney General) vs. incumbent Lincoln Chafee

Rosita Johanson at the Racine Art Museum
Rosita Johanson's minute narrative needlework are neatly aligned along gallery walls and glowing brightly in rainbow bright hues. The 20 works, from the 1990s through the 2000s, are on view at the Racine Aart Museum through Feb. 3.
The late Canadian artist was originally a dressmaker, the daughter of a tailor. She was born in Germany in 1937. She expressed her craft on canvas as well, stitching and appliqueing plush layers of fabric and using various other needlework techniques that she experimented with through the years. Johanson often employed loop pile embroidery, sewing shimmering beads, shells and various found items into her works. Loop pile creates a plush surface from tightly packed raised loops of yarn. It's also used to create carpeting, velvet and corduroy. »Read Full Blog Post

I've contacted Juno requesting a method of exporting the email address book and they have responded that they do not provide any. They did refer me to a program that will do this for me. However, the program costs $20.00. I've done a seach for a free program and the only one I could find apparently doesn't work with the latest version of Juno.
Anyone know of a solution to this problem?

Fast-Food Lobster Rolls: Can They Be Any Good?
@Bridget79, I didn't mean to imply that a lobster roll lost points for using a New England style, split top bun. They're actually my preference. At Linda Bean's, however, they seem to get the griddled butter treatment long before they are actually served, resulting in a bun that is cold, stale, and feels like leftovers. That's my issue with the roll there, not the split top.

We clearly have had different experiences at J's; I received neither a disappointing portion of lobster, nor a wilted piece of lettuce, nor a packet of "warm" mayonnaise. The meat wasn't "dry," and was, in fact, quite fresh and sweet. What's more, at around $13, the lobster roll at J's came in at a full five dollars less expensive than the sandwiches served just a few steps down the road, making it quite a bargain for anyone visiting Portland's waterfront.

This is crazy. I published the same post two days earlier (and with wildly different results).
Great minds, and all that.
Is Public Drinking Good For the Neighborhood?
I wonder how the "no drinking in sight of the public" theory applies to drinking on the Metro North trains? Man, there are many nights I don't believe I would have survived the trip back to New Haven without an oil can of Foster's to keep me company. Or has that been done away with, too?

Fast Food: Dunkin' Donuts Smokehouse Sausage Sandwich
This mirrors my experience, as well (http://bit.ly/tnxg5x)...and I also wondered why DD seemed so proud of proclaiming the Hillshire Farms origins of the sausage, as it is not something that will bring me through the door, on its own.
Chocoholic: How to Make Chocolate Cherry Cordials
I have the same dad-related memories of these chocolates, and I appreciate your efforts to make a home-version. One question: I always assumed that the ones with white filling had started their lives as the clear-filled variety, and had only turned white through age or exposure to air. True, or completely made-up fact?
Serious Eats Neighborhood Guides: Erin's Boerum/Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens
Thanks for proving this fantastic writeup of a neighborhood I still love, but can probably no longer afford. Though I live in Maine now, I used to live a few doors down from Sam's, circa 2003/2004, above the laundromat on Court Street, and it is just as you say. Sahadi's on a Saturday, however, is my idea of fresh hell. Great post!
Al Pastor Battle in Los Angeles: Tacos Leo vs. Tacos Tamix
I thought the reason you never found a proper trompo in the US was because of health codes, which (needlessly?) frown on big slabs of meat that are cooked from the outside-in, and where the whole slab of meat is not kept at a constant 155 degrees. Is this the reason for the splash on the plancha, at most places? Does a trompo exist that would allow carving straight into a tortilla, the way it is done in Mexico?

The Calico Mushroom
• The Calico Mushroom is off the beaten path, but customers have managed to find it since 1973.
Jean Strange was one of the original owners who opened the store in a converted historic home in a residential area of New Albany.
The business has changed hands over the years. Beverly Kitchens and Angie Staten have owned it since 1996.
But Kitchens wasn't new to the business. She started working for the Calico Mushroom as a junior in high school and worked part time until she made the decision to become an owner.
"I knew how much time and energy it took," Kitchens said. "I knew I would have to find a good partner."
Staten, a special education teacher, was the right fit.
"Our taste varies so I think that helps what we buy," Staten said. "Bev's very traditional. I lean more toward contemporary, eclectic, funky. But it's been a good mix because not everyone likes the same mix."
The Calico Mushroom emphasizes locally made products.
The store does a healthy business in bridal registries, which includes china, crystal, flatware, cookery and other place settings. The pottery also is popular, along with Vera Bradley merchandise.
In addition, the store sells home decor items, candles, framed art, jewelry, purses, baby gifts, coffee beans, decorative paper plates and napkins and Ole Miss and MSU paraphernalia.
The business also offers free gift wrapping for all purchases.

Ive heard that refilling bottles that you originally buy as "bottled water", are not healthy to refill with water or any other drink for that matter because it breaks down the plastic and when you drink from it, the plastic goes into your system.
Is this true?

Do you know how long plastic takes to bio degrade? The only reason you cant or rather shouldnt keep drinking from them is because of the sanitary issue. Plastic disolving is bullshit.

A friend of mine's dad was a chemist. He said when you make juice and put it in the fridge, you should use a glass pitcher instead of plastic, because elements of the plastic, or it's components, get into to juice somehow (over a long period of use I think).
2. I did read an article stating that if you re-use the same plastic bottle that bacteria can accumulate in it.
I think it's also a good idea to let all of the little water droplets dry inside the bottle before re-filling it again with water.
It's an accurate statement that our current spending will not be increasing the debt We've stopped spending money that we don't have.

It sounds he was talking about things like xenoestrogens and phenols.
It is suggested that these chemicals found in plastic wrap and bottles) leach into foods/water etc (esp. when heated) and how these chemicals are linked to a number of illnesses (cancer, headache, ADHD, obesity etc).
There is some evidence to suggest that these chemicals CAN cause illness - but I do not know if they, as of yet, have proof that you can be affected by normal water bottles and containers... I think a great deal of it has to do with high dose of chemical exposure (eg: like when making the products) and when they are super-heated so they 'vapourise' or melt....
well I rinse the bottle I use (Poland spring 1.5L bottles) after every use. If you are refering to re-filling the bottles without rinsing then thats just plain nasty .lol

This has nothing to do with biodegrading, but instead chemicals leaching from the plastic into the water. Biodegrading is a completely different thing.Originally Posted by PreMier
When bottled water plastics are not handled properly, potentially carcinogenic compounds may leach out of the bottle plastic into the drinking water.According to the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) however, all the plastics listed above are in containers intended for one- time use only, in a cool, room environment.The bottom line is that leaching can occur, even if there is no scientific link between conditions and reusing a water bottle. Also the bacteria is an issue, even with cleaning. Not too long ago a girl died from constantly reusing the same water bottle.The reuse of these containers is done at the consumer's own risk. Over time, these plastics may lose integrity due to heat, ultraviolet light, and manual squeezing pressure on the outside of the bottle. Cracks or leaks can develop in the plastic surface. These defects may leach harmful chemicals into the bottled water.
JUST BUY A REUSABLE SPORTS WATER BOTTLE THAT WAS MEANT FOR CONSTANT REUSE, you cheap fuckers
How long do water bottles stay on shelves? You could go to a store, buy a bottled water, and it has been sitting there for a month or 2. You would figure the same kind of leaching could occur in that scenario as reusing the same water bottle. I would imagine as long as they are stored in a refrigerator or cool dark place they are fine, save for the bacteria issue from not washing them.
If sense were common, everyone would have it.

Bottled water and tooth decay.
TORONTO, Sept. 19-Tooth decay is making a comeback, fueled by junk food, spurred by social changes, and abetted by an unusual culprit - bottled water.
"I had a three-year-old kid come in the other day," says Toronto dentist Sheldon Rose, D.D.S., "and he had at least two cavities that I could see. I haven't seen that for years."
Like most dentists, Dr. Rose blames the usual suspects - snack foods, soft drinks, lack of parental supervision of food. But bottled water also plays a role, he and others suspect.
"It's not the water that's causing the decay," said Jack Cottrell, D.D.S., president of the Canadian Dental Association (CDA). "It's the lack of fluoride."
The bottled water issue was raised at the World Dental Congress in Montreal, Dr. Cottrell said, as part of a general discussion about what to do about the sudden rise in tooth decay in children.
The American Dental Association says that more and more "health-conscious consumers are sipping bottled water."
Indeed, says the International Bottled Water Association, in 2004 Americans drank nearly 6.8 billion gallons, for a per capita consumption level of 23.8 gallons. That's an 8.6% increase over the previous year, the association says.
The problem is that people are turning away from tap water - which for over two-thirds of Americans contains all of the fluoride that they need to prevent tooth decay - and most bottled waters don't have enough fluoride.
"If bottled water is your main source of drinking water, you could be missing the decay-preventive benefits of fluoride," the ADA says.

I am one of the few but I prefer NYC tap water over bottled water any day.
I am privileged to have access to NYC tap water, for years regarded as one of the best. I tasted water from New Jersey and it was nasty.
Good post Snafu.
If you are really paranoid, just buy a new water bottle once a week, or buy a reusable water container. If you die, your family can sue me.Originally Posted by CowPimp
On another note, a lot of places won't let you refill your water bottles at their water coolers, but that's just cuz your greasy lips were all over the rim.
If you are that worried about something like that, you better not go outside, eat anything, or be alive. Because there are carcinogens all around you and they are killing you, so you might as well just die now.
Naturally, bottled water sellers are going to tell you some dumb shit like the bottles are one time use only. They don't want you refilling the bottles, they want you to buy more. The water bottles get hot as fuck in trucks and warehouses for months before they even make it to the store shelves. There is 100 times more chemical pollution in the fucking air you breath, so why get all freaky scared about refilling a plastic bottle. I have and always will refill my deerpark water bottles for months until I lose them.Originally Posted by MWpro
LOL, some of you say refilling a water bottle is nasty and you have no clue how nasty the plates, silverware, and glasses are that you get everytime you go to a restaurant. If any of you eat at Outback, TGI Fridays, etc, you are consuming some of the nastiest shit on the planet. I have worked in both of those places my first years of college. Sorry, I am going out on a rant here, but I am just making the point that refilling water bottles has to be like number 99 on the countdown list of things that are nasty.
I read an article about this in Pop. Science. The breakdown does occur, but the risk is minimal for most people. The greatest threat is for infant and pregnant women according to that credible mag.
People have also died from having vending machines fall over on them, with that being said I really dont see myself staying away from them due to overwhelming fear.Originally Posted by MWpro
I buy a 24 pack and will refill each on 3 or 4 times before tossing them
You could just wash them and reuse if you wanted

Thunder win Game 3, give false hope to millions of people who started liking the Celtics in 2008
It's easy to watch the Game 3 pounding the Oklahoma City Thunder just put on the San Antonio Spurs and lose your mind as a Boston fan.
"See, all we need to do is go home and play Celtics basketball!"
Shut up. Don't put us in a position to look like all those delusional Lakers fans who thought beating the Thunder once in LA meant that Mike Brown could coach a moron like Andrew Bynum, or that Kobe could carry Ron Artest's immaturity, Pau Gasol's softness, and the Lakers bench's ineptitude to an upset of a superior team without Phil Jackson's triangle offense and wizardry.
The Thunder are a legitimate NBA contender with 3 big time players and a bunch of healthy role players that are clicking on all cylinders. The fact that they got manhandled the first two games in San Antonio is a testament to Greg Popavich, Tim Duncan, Ginobli, and Parker playing the best basketball they've played in at least 5 years. Without the Spurs in the way, the Thunder would roll everyone in the NBA in a 7 game series, and that includes the Heat and Celtics. Boston might win one in Beantown, and they could win one by 20+ if Eric Spolestra finds the balls to sit his 3 best players for the entire second half the way Popavich sat his stars tonight.
But that probably won't happen. LeBron will play 40+ mins, wreak havoc on the 30 and over club, and make every game a marathon. I've been rooting for the Celtics since before the Hornets and Raptors even existed, but I'm a realistic jerkoff fan. I'll scream at the TV bang on the walls when we manage to pull within 3 in the 4th quarter, and scream "F*ck LeBron" every time he blows a couple free throws, but that doesn't mean I'll forget who the healthier, younger, faster, and stronger team is in this series.
And neither should you.

John P. Sullivan commented on "Scratchpads Community":
Bob, Thanks for your reply. Well, clearly the proposed partnership with Scratchpads hasn't panned out the way envisioned. As I say, familiar as I am with both platforms I do not wish to see LifeDesks migrated. I wish to see LifeDesks at least supported and preferably developed. I have a hard time understanding how LifeDesks are extraneous to EOL's core mission. I see there are still a few of us actively adding to our LifeDesks and I bet some of them would agree with me. There have not been any bug fixes since May of 2012, despite bugs being reported (by me, for example). Could we at least get bug fixes/maintenance restored? It seems presumptuous to expect folks to invest themselves in new initiatives when EOL has a track record of dropping support for them after a few years.
Bob Corrigan commented on "Scratchpads Community":
@John P. Sullivan: John, thanks for your note. The bottom line is that EOL in 2010 had been pulled in too many directions, and needed to focus on its core mission - with the emergence of the Scratchpad project, we saw an opportunity to work with a team whose primary mission was creating a workbench product - which would allow them to focus on fundraising and sustainability challenges for their interests as we did the same for ours. I will forward your comments to the Scratchpads team, who are always attentive to feedback on how they can improve their product. We continue to maintain Lifedesk online, and will be working to provide migration tools. You can always export the data from a Lifedesk to your machine for archival purposes. Bob
John P. Sullivan commented on "Scratchpads Community":
Boy, things have been quiet on here. Back in 2011 when it was announced that EOL would stop developing the LifeDesk platform, those of us who were putting hours and hours into our LifeDesks were assured that we wouldn't be left high and dry because a system would be developed to port LifeDesks into Scratchpads. Has that initiative been abandoned? Was that responsibility just dumped upon the Scratchpad people? Seems like we *were* left high and dry as I had feared. I maintain both a v.2 Scratchpad and LifeDesk. Both have their particular strengths and unique capabilities. I can say unequivocally that I do not want to see my Lifedesk ported to a Scratchpad. What I'd like is LifeDesks support and development to be reinitiated. Sorry to see EOL attracting funding for new initiatives like TraitBank while leaving what was in my opinion one of its most promising initiatives to languish. I like my LifeDesk in many respects better than the Scratchpad, particularly in the layout of the species pages, tagging content with taxonomic names via the pop-up window and intuitiveness of the interface. It's also a hell of a lot speedier than the new Scratchpads. LifeDesks came very close to being a perfect platform for a lot of us: a stand-alone site that can be used by specialists and the public alike, a great way to organize taxonomic information and to get content into EOL. I am very unhappy with EOL for abandoning LifeDesks. Who's with me here?

Cyndy Parr commented on "Scratchpads Community":
@Katerina Tvardikova: Google knows about your pages: http://bit.ly/ZPy6XH . I did a search that included your site URL to be sure. It looks like your content shows up on the fourth page of results if you just search for the scientific name. For birds you are competing with lots of very popular sites that have been around a while and automatically have a lot of links to them. When your content flows to EOL that will help raise its profile. The more websites (and more respected websites) who link to your content the better.
Katerina Tvardikova commented on "Scratchpads Community":
@Cyndy Parr: E.g. if I search for specific species (Philemon buceroides) I do not find the information form my pages at all. There is many species like this. Even when I search New Guinea Birds or Papua New GUinea Birds (which I guess most people do when thinking to fisn something about the birds in coutry), do I do not find my pages easily. I was interesitng in some tips how to improve it.
Cyndy Parr commented on "Scratchpads Community":
@Katerina Tvardikova: Note that Katerina's Scratchpad is here: http://pngbirds.myspecies.info/ I have found some of the content by searching on Google. Katerina what is an example of a page you don't see listed?
Katerina Tvardikova commented on "Scratchpads Community":
I feel really bad about my work being lost in web-space. I would need to force Google and other search engines to search on my pages too. Is there any way to do it? I am sure that my pages are the only ones including information about given species, but nobody is able to find out, as the pages are not listed when I search for the species on Google. Is it a general problem, or only mine?

Yes, I've been using bulk import regularly. Very cool feature! I have over 600 images on the site now:) I think Eli has been using it, too.
Jennifer Hammock commented on "Scratchpads Community":
Jiri, have you tried out the bulk image import yet? (Or anyone else?) Anyone have opinions or pointers? Laurence warns one or two bits of workflow might be weird, but everything should work. You should be able to bring in 50Mb of files at a time. After import, it will not take you to your files automatically so you can add metadata, but you can still get there any time (content menu, Image "grid" view) and edit them in bulk.

Nor is it solely because of Patch and Kayla not dealing with Ava.
No is it soley because Ejami were broken up because of Lucas.
Nor is it solely because Bope are geening the Pub.
Nor is it soley due to Phloe being reduced to friends with benefits.
Nor is it solely because some are disgusted with Stax and Dansea.
Combine these issues with people who have gotten pissed at these disruptions in s/l and tuned out you have your drop from 2.3 in February to 1.9 in July! Add to this the s/l's are all over the place in efforts to create "twists" where none are needed. NuJohn is involved in a dock war, bribery, killing someone, and a cheating. Max is in love wih his neice, finds his loser father, is a genius and needs to save his sister. Daniel is a genius doctor who is in love with an adolescent/sorority girl, had a fling with her grandmother, and needs to save half of salem from all sorts of ailments from Liver transplants to getting beat up in prison. This is ridiculous.
People who are Ejami fans who happen to also like nuJohn are not effecting ratings or even morale because they just happen to have found a new character of interest in a show they were already watching. But losing J&M fans who were tuning in for this J&M love story does because there is nothing there to get them to continue to watch while Ava shows up and then goes away. Payla fans are already pissed at Ava and they are not going to watch this crap whne there couple aren't on and they have to watch this hated person try to move in on someone elses husband.

Computer PerfectionView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Like Stereolab and Broadcast, Computer Perfection -- featuring members of Detroit's Pas/Cal -- play music based in art rock, '60s psych, and dream pop, with vintage synthesizers and sunshiny guy/girl vocals. Gene Corduroy, Bem, Nathaniel Burgundy, Stevers McFever, and Aaron Q formed the project not long after I Was Raised on Matthew, Mark, Luke & Laura was released in 2008. Bem and Corduroy moved to New York for a stint and, upon moving back to Ferndale, MI, Corduroy played some demos that he had recorded for his old friend Burgundy. The three collaborated sporadically for the next year, blueprinting the foundation for the band's first full-length, We Wish You Well on Your Way to Hell, which was released by Le Grand Magistery in November of 2009. ~ Jason Lymangrover

It's hard not to be in awe just looking around the walls at Hillenbrand Stadium.
There are the giant action photos of the greats of Arizona past, and the list of too-many-to-count conference championships and championship trophy after championship trophy. On the left field wall, you'll see a list of the Women's College World Series appearances, year after year, and when you stare long enough, it's almost like they start coming in threes — 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1995, 1996, 1997 and 2008, 2009, 2010 and then … nothing.
Where did the numbers go?
It's almost as if they ran out of paint.
Perhaps that's why these Wildcats are so adamant about painting their future with a new brush. They'll make a few more brush strokes this weekend, as they travel to Louisiana-Lafayette for a best-of-three set with the Ragin' Cajuns in an NCAA Super Regional.
"One of our mottos is 'tradition lives here,' and the fact we haven't made our permanent mark yet it is a little bit … haunting," Arizona's Hallie Wilson said. "It's in the back of your mind a little bit."
At the front of the their minds heading into the weekend: the hot, sticky, humid air of Louisiana, where the only thing that drips more than the accents is the air.
For a lineup that prides itself on power, Arizona knows it's going to have to adjust to the climate, to try to get on top of the ball, and hit hard grounders.
Though, perhaps, the word "pride" is a misnomer. It's more that the Wildcats have become resigned to the fact that they have the best offense in the land.
"This team has found their identity and have developed," coach Mike Candrea said. "There is no doubt they know that offense is the big part of their game."
But will it hold up in muggy Lafayette, and more dauntingly, will it hold up against Christina Hamilton?
The Ragin' Cajuns ace is just the latest in a long line of pillars in the pitching circle who've deigned to take on Arizona's power. The Wildcats have taken a balloon pump to opposing pitching stats, and while Hamilton is 27-2 with a 1.53 ERA, those numbers aren't too foreign.
"We've faced a lot of great pitchers this year, and I think it's about taking a mindset that we need to adjust," Arizona assistant coach Alicia Hollowell said. Hamilton will "do things to keep us off balance. But we faced a great pitcher last weekend in (LSU's) Baylee Corbello, and she was a machine too, just kept chugging along. Once we get enough looks at her, this is a pretty potent team and I think we can make the adjustments."
For the first time this year, though, they may have found an offense that can (almost) stack up against them. ULL (47-8-1) ranks second in the nation behind Arizona (44-14) in home runs per game and is 10th nationally in runs per game.
"I watched a little bit of video on them this morning and they swing the bats," Candrea said earlier this week. "They're very aggressive offensively. Trying to hit everything out of the ballpark."
Sounds familiar, even if Arizona stroked 21 more home runs and outslugged even the second-best team in the country by nearly 100 percentage points.
So it's clear that Arizona has found the power. But can it find the glory?
"At Arizona, that's kind of our standard — to get to a World Series and play for a national championship," Candrea said. "If I didn't want to get to the World Series, I wouldn't be coaching."

Spiced Oranges with Caramel Sauce
- 1/2 cup, packed dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 Navel oranges, cut into supremes
- Pinch cardamom
- 1/2 cup finely chopped salted pistachios
In a 4 cup glass measuring cup combine the brown sugar, heavy cream and light corn syrup. Set aside in microwave until later.
To cut oranges into supremes: remove rind and pith. Over a bowl to catch the juices, cut in between skins to release supremes. Squeeze juice from skins over supremes and toss with a bit of cardamom to taste. Set supremes in 4 dessert bowls.
When ready to eat microwave brown sugar mixture, uncovered at full power for 2 minutes. Whisk to blend, and cook 1 minute more until a bit thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Immediately pour over oranges and garnish with pistachios. Sauce will thicken as it cools. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for a week. To soften, microwave 30 seconds to a minute, uncovered.

Vera Wang's Show Is Just Too Early for the Celebrity Set
During a week that's all about forecasting and setting trends, we're starting to think the biggest one is that 10 a.m. is the new crack of dawn. Thank God for Mariska Hargitay, without whom the front rows at Vera Wang this morning would've felt as lifeless as our hair after six days of heat-styling.
During a week that's all about forecasting and setting trends, we're starting to think the biggest one is that 10 a.m. is the new crack of dawn. Thank God for Mariska Hargitay, without whom the front rows at Vera Wang this morning would've felt as lifeless as our hair after six days of heat-styling. By this point in the week we're always craving fresh blood anyway — there is only so much to be said, for example, about the inexplicably inescapable Leigh Lezark — so it was thrilling when an energetic and stunning Hargitay emerged from backstage to take her seat, even if she did leave hubby Peter Hermann at home. Hey, professional ogling is a tiring gig. We need the sugar rush any little extra eye candy can provide.
Hargitay had on jeans, a cardigan, and a shirt teeming with bling, the likes of which would send a magpie into convulsive ecstasy. "It's my last show!" she boomed. "I thought I'd go out with a bang!" Having previewed her pal Vera's collection beforehand, Mariska predictably and effusively dubbed it "spectacular and very different," crowning Wang "one of the most innovative designers." She then spent the entire show with a delighted smile on her face. Granted, the lady is an Emmy-winning actress, but since there aren't any joyous Law & Order: SVU episodes to channel for this, we think it was all sincere.
Other than that sighting, though, it was a barren Wang indeed. The usual suspects showed — ALT, A-Dubs, Nina Garcia, Plum Sykes — but beyond that, no dice. Two front-row seats even sat empty the entire time. One photographer resorted to snapping pictures of everyone in the front row and fixated on a gaggle of blondes, just in case they turned out to be socialites. With the Oscars possibly now a go and unique gowns thus in demand, we were frankly surprised that more famous faces weren't trying to ingratiate themselves. We can't wait until the day when no shows start before 1 p.m., the better to let the celebrity revelers sleep off their hangovers and brush their hair. But that's a slippery slope — it's all fun and games until midnight is suddenly the new lunch, and no sandwich shops are open. The horror, the horror. —The Fug Girls

Watford moved swiftly to replace Gianfranco Zola after he resigned as head coach on Monday, appointing Giuseppe Sannino as his successor yesterday morning.
Zola stepped down despite concerted attempts by Gianluca Nani, the director of football at the Sky Bet Championship club, to persuade him to stay, after Watford had slipped to thirteenth in the table.
Although the Pozzo family, the club's owners, had not expected the 47-year-old to depart, they have wasted no time in appointing an abundantly experienced replacement. Sannino, 56, made his name in the lower tiers of Italian football, most notably with Varese, but has spent

After a moderate first couple of years in the IPL, the Mumbai Indians have grown into one of the tournament's powerhouse teams, culminating in winning their first-ever title last season.
But in order to become just the second side to defend the trophy, Rohit Sharma's men have some serious obstacles to overcome.
Last year's joint-leading wicket-taker, Mitchell Johnson, has signed for the Kings XI Punjab and the reassuring presence of Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting has disappeared with both legends retiring from the game.
With the 2014 season imminent, let's take a look at how will the men in blue are shaping up ahead of the new campaign?
As part of Bleacher Report's extensive coverage of this season's Indian Premier League, this slideshow will preview the Mumbai Indians prospects this year.

Faculty members earn cancer research grants
Four researchers at UT Southwestern competed for and won Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program awards totaling more than $734,000. Only 14 percent of the proposed studies received funding, Defense Department officials said.
The largest UT Southwestern award went to Dr. Peter Antich, professor of radiology, who received $465,858 for "Investigation of Metastatic Breast Tumor Heterogeneity and Progression Using Dual Optical/SPECT Imaging."
Optical imaging illuminates tissue with a broad beam of light and detects resulting spectral or fluorescent data, or the light spontaneously emitted by cells. The latter case will allow for imaging of cells bearing the liciferase gene, which is involved in the spread and metastatic development of some tumors.
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) utilizes the rotation of a photon detector array around part of the body to obtain data from selected radiopharmaceuticals as they arrive at their target tissues or organs. Radiopharmaceuticals include antibodies, antibody fragments and peptides.
"In breast cancer imaging, we are interested in describing the nature of the disease, particularly its aggressiveness, how it spreads through tissue, how and when angiogenesis occurs, and the strategy the tumor uses to spread," said Dr. Antich, holder of the Wechun Pak Professorship of Bone Biophysics. "While these factors are generally appreciated and individually known, their dynamics and interrelationships are not, and this is the goal of our research."
Agnel Sfeir and Yu-chen Chien, student research assistants in cell biology, each were awarded $89,982 for "Altering Telomere-End Processing: A Novel Breast Cancer Therapeutic Approach" and "Critical Contribution of Ral GTPases to Growth and Survival of Breast Cancer Cells," respectively. Lisa Lenertz-Lindemar, a student research assistant in pharmacology, received $88,800 for "The Biochemical Characterization of With No Lysine (WNK), a Recently Identified Serine/Threonine Protein Kinase Involved in Epithelial Ion Transport."
The Breast Cancer Research Program is part of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs, which is second only to the National Cancer Institute as a source of funding for breast cancer research.

Maybe the pic was taken part way through her range of motion. Her forarms and upper arms are almost at right angles where her muscles are generating maximum force, so the lift would be getting easier towards completion. Can't read the numbers on the plates, but it's about the biggest barbell I've seen being curled by a woman!
|naga (September 08, 2011, 1:43 pm)
How many kg ?
60 or 70 kg ?
|Roaddogg (September 08, 2011, 2:07 pm)
Looks like the equivalent of two 45lb plates with two 10 lb'ers on a 45lb bar. 155lbs for curls. Fuckin power man. Fuckin power.
|kristifigure (September 08, 2011, 2:22 pm)
Knowing how she looked at her best, I really do not doubt she could have curled this. She is amazing.
|slimbear (September 08, 2011, 10:56 pm)
I really doubt she curled this much weight, but it makes for a good photo.
|kristifigure (September 08, 2011, 11:56 pm)
I read about some power lifting competitions where some girls were curling anywhere from 150 - 220 or so. this falls into that category and she was definately one of the stronger girls do be in the sport I think.
|slimbear (September 09, 2011, 12:01 am)
I don't think it is possible for a 110 lbs girl to curl 150 to 220 lbs. Do you believe everything you read.
|Roaddogg (September 09, 2011, 7:04 am)
Maybe not with perfect form, but it's possible. Anyone should know that it's not your bodyweight that dictates absolute strength.
Besides that, at her peak, Zuzana weighed quite a bit more than 110 lbs. She competed at 145 and likely walked around at closer to 160-170. So that speculation is already inaccurate slimbear.
And I'd be more willing to listen to kristi about what some of the girls in competition do since she's met more of them than i have. None the less, it's more about weight in proportion to height and muscle mass that dictates strength and Zuzanna was one of the stronger competitors. there are girls who weigh less than Zuzanna did who are benching close to 275. Lindsay Dejager and Rebekah Kresila come to mind. These aren't huge girls be the goal for any strength athlete should be to at least double their own bodyweight in max lifts. You'd be surprised at what some 120-135 lb girls can do.
|kristifigure (September 09, 2011, 3:33 pm)
Yea I was gonna say zuzana was more like 160 or so and she was conditioned for doing this cause she competed in strength competitions a lot I believe. Anyway just saying. C'mon. Girls can be strong to ya know. :)
|slimbear (September 09, 2011, 11:31 pm)
I think it's great when girls are strong. I'm just a realist.
|kristifigure (September 10, 2011, 12:31 am)
But that is real. It's documented stuff. I'll try to find some links.
|slimbear (September 10, 2011, 11:23 pm)
Kristifigure: I'm still waiting for some links.
|kristifigure (September 11, 2011, 12:54 am)
It's so far back I'm not finding the max lift stats I had seen before. They could have been on a WPW video or something, but I did find some strength competition stats that usually require them to lift 60% of their body weight so of course they would be trimmed down a bit. I found one that had Zuzana's name in it and showed she repped out about 73 pounds 88 times in the competition which is amazing as far as I'm concerned. So I still think doing 150 or so one or two times could be doable when she is in her off season heavy lifting stages. But who know's I know I could never do such. I'll keep looking though. http://www.muscleerotica.com/stat.curls.htm
|Roaddogg (September 11, 2011, 2:46 am)
@slimbear -the fact that you thought that she weighed 110 kinda throws off your whole "realist" argument. Few women involved in high school level varsity athletics weigh less than 130 let alone an IFBB pro-level female bodybuilder. Before you question other ppl's expertise and numbers, I have to question yours.
No offense but your credibility flew out the window when you said that son.

|rutabaga22 (September 11, 2011, 10:39 pm)
I found the link with the strength records interesting. As far as I knew prior to now, Michele Ralabate and Zuzana Korinkova held world records set in the early 1990's for curls with 60% of bodyweight with reps in the 50s. I knew that 50% of bodyweight curling contests were also held but I didn't know that the records were over 100 reps - unreal. I have no idea what these women could lift for a 1rm but the photo of Zuzana looks legitimate, whether she completed the lift or not.
|Chris_Carss (September 12, 2011, 4:20 pm)
It looks to me from the expression on her face and from the way she was standing like she had already done several reps at this very high barbell weight and was forcing a final rep. This girl has bone-crushing strength. Her arms are super-pumped here, and the size, definition, and hardness of her powerful arm muscles suggest she could curl that weight for several reps.
|slimbear (September 12, 2011, 11:18 pm)
The strongest female curl chanpion has been Karla nelson. She did 118.2 pounds at a body weight of 197 pounds for 25 reps. She was built like a linebacker on roids though. Thanks to Kristifigure for this info.
|Roaddogg (September 13, 2011, 1:30 am)
That's 25 reps at 197lbs which makes it very plausible that Zuzana could do quite a few reps at a bodyweight of around 160. And at the time she was build like a shorter version of Nelson.
Edited by Roaddogg (September 15, 2011, 12:36 am)
|kristifigure (September 13, 2011, 12:16 pm)
Yea that was just my point that I thought one time would be doable, yep no problem slimebear.
|Chris_Carss (September 13, 2011, 8:02 pm)
Actually it's slimbear LOL, but I agree too. This girl has the muscles to curl with the best of them!
|slimbear (September 13, 2011, 10:38 pm)
I wont stop crying wolf untill someone can show me documentation of a woman curling 150 lbs in a lifting event. Otherwise, its just speculation.
|tokkola (September 13, 2011, 10:53 pm)
lol SLIMEbear
|kickfan (September 13, 2011, 11:25 pm)
and it is equally speculative that you have anything more than a single-minded pea brain, actually that is reality, no cryin' wolf there
|rutabaga22 (September 13, 2011, 11:36 pm)
No strict curls of 150, although Cheryl Haworth hasn't tried! However, with strict curls up to 109, I can imagine somebody has done a strength-event-style curl, with lots of body English, of 150.
Interestingly, Kristi's 70's, which are pretty close to strict, are in near-record to record territory for a girl her age and size.
|kristifigure (September 14, 2011, 3:05 pm)
Ok I promise the "slime" was only a typo!!!!! Sorry, haha! ooops. I must be to tall for any records ruta.. :)

Slimebear or slimbear, whatever his name is, he's a moron and a troll. Stop responding to him. He knows f-all about this.

I see you're arguing the point there, bear.

Ok, I said that I was done, but your last post was so full of silliness that it's screaming for a retort, so here goes.
First off, slimbear is it? I hope you don't handle sharp instruments at work.
And second, if you can't understand where my handle comes from, here's a free tip. Google is your friend.
Oh and in your effort to correct me, you still found a way to misspell the word that you tried to use. If I were just saying "road dog" it would be two words. Spell check is also your friend.
So, in light of all that, feel free to change your post to make yourself sound a bit smarter. Here's hoping that you take the hint and quit while you're,... wherever you are. But I'm done playing with you dude, you make it so easy. Say what you want. You have the board.

the problem with trying to have a debate is that uttering one single incorrect fact can effectively destroy your whole side of the debate. slimbear, by grossly underestimating her weight at 110 lbs when verifiable stats confirm that she was more in the neighborhood of 160, you have effectively buried yourself along with any credibility you might have here.

Road dog: you need to go back to sniffing trash cans. I'm done talking to you.

I think Zuzana could put an end to all this bickering without uttering a single word!

You guys believe everything. I don't think she is strict curling 145 or 155, whatever. This is a massive heavy weight, many many muscular serious gym guys fail at curling that much weight in proportion to their bodyweights. No way, she could had curled that much weight, if you believe she can you never curled heavy in your whole life. The angle of her shoulders and the way she is standing shows clearly that her technique form is eveyrthing except a clean bicep curl form.

In an interview back in the day Michelle Relebate said Suzanna was one girl she would not want to tangle with. Quite a statement from such a strong girl!

In regards to the 155 pounds on the Olympic Bar it is quite possible that she could have done a single rep. You can go to the net under WPW and they have a video you can buy on there. It shows her at a mere 125 pounds curling 135 pounds for 2 reps, and benching around 200 pounds. I have lifted my entire life and even for her to rep out 155 pounds for a single rep IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE!!!!

Benching 200 is a piece of cake compared to curling 135, but I'm going to guess that the weight in the photo is real. Her traps are contracted like she is curling heavy weight. I have no idea whether she completed the rep.
