Oedipus Tyrannus Sophocles
c. 425 b.c.
(Also translated as Oedipus Rex) Greek play.
The following entry presents criticism on Sophocles's Oedipus Tyrannus. For more information on Sophocles's life and career, see CMLC Volume 2.
Oedipus Tyrannus is considered Sophocles's masterpiece and is probably the most famous of all the Greek tragedies. Aristotle deemed it a perfect play. First performed about 425 b.c., not long after a plague had ravaged Athens, Oedipus Tyrannus is set in Thebes, a city falling to ruin from a similar calamity. King Oedipus is told that the city will continue to suffer until the murderer of the previous king is brought to justice. Oedipus vows to discover the evildoer's identity and to punish him. Unaware that he himself is the killer, Oedipus relentlessly pursues the truth until he discovers his own guilt and blinds himself so that he may never see his father in the afterworld. Sophocles took a well-known legend and intensified it for his Athenian audience by emphasizing qualities they held dear: courage, self-assuredness, and love for their city. In this play of man versus inexorable fate, Sophocles used dramatic irony to further develop audience interest: they know how the play will end, relishing the irony of the words spoken by the characters, who do not know. In his Poetics, Aristotle used Oedipus Tyrannus as a model tragedy, analyzing Sophocles's masterful use of reversal, discovery, and character. Oedipus Tyrannus has received considerable attention in modern times partly due to Sigmund Freud, who, tremendously moved by the play, popularized the notion of the Oedipus Complex. The play continues to engage audiences and scholars to this day.
Plot and Major Characters
Oedipus Tyrannus opens with the people of Thebes praying for King Oedipus to save their dying city. Creon, the brother of Oedipus's wife, Jocasta, returns from a visit to the oracle of Apollo. He reports the oracle's message: the plague on Thebes is the result of the unpunished murder of the previous king, Laius. Oedipus vows to discover the murderer's identity and avenge Laius's death. He calls for Tiresias, an old blind seer, to reveal what he knows. The seer refuses and Oedipus is enraged at his disobedience. Tiresias, also angered, then tells the King that it is Oedipus himself who, as the murderer, has defiled the city, and further, that he is unknowingly living with his closest kin in a shameful manner. Oedipus accuses the seer of conspiring with Creon to overthrow him. Tiresias replies that Oedipus will soon be horrified when he learns the truth of his parentage and of his marriage. Oedipus considers executing Creon but Jocasta intercedes, and Creon is exiled instead. Jocasta tries to reassure her husband by insisting that no one, not even oracles, can divine the future. As an example, she tells him that she and Laius were once told that their son would kill his father, and that this did not happen since their son died on a mountain, where he was abandoned as an infant, and Laius was killed by thieves—there was a witness to the murder. This information does anything but calm Oedipus. He tells his wife that he had believed his parents to be Polybus of Corinth and Merope, a Dorian, until a drunken reveler at a banquet announced that Oedipus was someone else's son. Polybus and Merope, when questioned, were angry and upset, but neither confirmed nor denied the charge. Oedipus further recalls that he traveled to Delphi, to ask the oracle of Apollo the truth about his parentage. He was not given the answer he sought, but was instead told that he would slay his father and have children with his mother. In horror, he fled in the opposite direction of Corinth, until he came to a place where three roads intersected. He met a small party of men who rudely tried to shove him out of their way. Oedipus struck the driver and in return was struck by the man being drawn in the wagon; in the fight that followed, Oedipus slew them all—or so he thought. After Oedipus finishes his story, a messenger brings news that Polybus has died and Oedipus must return to rule Corinth as their king. He refuses, fearing that Apollo's oracle of fathering children by his mother might come true. The messenger tells Oedipus not to worry, that he was not really Polybus's son nor was Merope his mother. In reality a herdsman who worked for Laius gave Oedipus to the messenger, who in turn gave him to Polybus to raise as his own. Jocasta begs Oedipus to stop his search for the truth, but to no avail. The herdsman, who was also the witness to Laius's death, arrives. He admits that Laius had instructed him to kill the infant Oedipus but that he had given the child to the messenger instead. At last Oedipus realizes that he indeed has killed his father and sired four children with his mother. He rushes to find Jocasta and learns that she has locked herself in her room. He breaks the bolts of the doors and finds her hanged by her own hair. He rips out the brooches from the shoulders of her dress and gouges his eyes with them. Creon returns, now king, and Oedipus begs that he be exiled. Creon answers that the matter must be decided by the gods.
Major Themes
Sophocles includes several themes in his play: he explores the potential dangers of pursuing self-knowledge, the question of guilt and innocence, and the nature of fate. Perhaps no play has better demonstrated the maxim that a man's character is his fate, for it is in fulfilling his personal characteristics—his relentless pursuit of knowledge, his absolute confidence in himself, and his quickness to anger—that Oedipus meets his destiny, and the prophecies are realized.
Critical Reception
Sophocles, Aeschylus, and Euripides were recognized in their own time as masters of drama, and Oedipus Tyrannus was hailed as Sophocles's masterpiece. Since its brilliance is indisputable, critics concentrate on other matters, including formulating their own interpretations of the play and discussing its themes, Sophocles's use of irony, and the function of the chorus. Francis Fergusson explores audience expectations and perceptions. Eric A. Havelock contends that signs of oral composition can be found in the play and that Oedipus Tyrannus was written during a major shift in composition styles. R. Drew Griffith explains that the ancient Greeks had a different view of what constituted guilt than modern man—that even though Oedipus was unaware of his father's identity when he killed him, he was nevertheless guilty of patricide. Some critics insist there are problems with understanding what actually transpired in the play's recalled events due to unresolved contradictions, for example the report that there were many men, not just one, who attacked and killed Laius. Erich Fromm considers Freud's interpretation of the play and the nature of patriarchal and matriarchal psychological principles. Critics agree that Oedipus Tyrannus is a gripping exploration of the role of the gods in man's life and a warning to mankind to avoid becoming too proud, too godlike. The numerous modern translations of the play, its continuing performance, and unwavering critical interest in it all attest to the magnitude of its popularity.

If one is interested in the consequences of semiotics for the study of literary signification, one needs a reliable account of what semiotics is or says; and for that it may be important to reflect on the strange consequentiality of semiotics itself, for semiotics is not a continuous discipline with a progressive historical evolution.1 Thinkers have often produced major insights about...

[In the following essay, Havelock describes elements of oral composition that can be found in the text of Oedipus Tyrannus.]
A stage play is by definition composed for performance by action and elocution. To argue for "oral" composition may seem to be arguing for the obvious. The "orality" of Greek drama, however, if it exists, goes deeper than a mere management of stage conventions. It would mean that what had to be spoken on the Greek stage in the fifth century before Christ was molded in a very special way. There are...

Then, as she lay, poor woman, on the ground, what happened after was terrible to see.

To discuss so minor a writer as Giovanni Andrea dell'Anguillara (ca. 1517-1571) seems like an exercise in willful obscurantism or personal enthusiasm for what is better dead and buried.

The story of Oedipus is the archetypal myth of personal identity in Western culture. It is the myth par excellence of self-knowledge, of human power and human weakness, of the determining forces of the accidents of birth that we can neither change nor escape.

On the last occasion I had the good fortune to read E. R. Dodds' famous essay "On Misunderstanding the Oedipus Rex,"1 I felt certain misgivings at some of his conclusions.

All of Sophocles' tragedies engage the spectator in the fundamental metatheatrical problem of appearance versus reality.

I'm not saying any report is wrong. I'm saying the reports don't mean anything and there is no reason to think they have any credibility.
Will the end result be consistent with the "speculation" ?...Who knows. But thats all these reports are. Pure speculation, reported as fact.
When you make a statement here about the Cruz situation, based on something you read, you are doing yourself a disservice.
These reports aren't based on anything. Its like me saying that Cruz is demanding $10MM/year. Is he? I doubt it. But if I guess he is and it ends up being true, does my statement have any more credibility...just for guessing right?

Original post made by Don Anderson, Old Mountain View, on Jul 10, 2013
I'd like to put a plug in for Mountain View Masters (MVM) Swim Team. MVM is an adult swim team for anyone ages 19-100+ We have swimmers who range in ability from olympic gold medalists to those that can just swim from one end of the pool to the other. MVM offers structured workouts seven days a week in the mornings, and we have seven coaches who run the practices throughout the week. Practices are at the Eagle Park pool near downtown Mountain View. In addition to swim practices, we also have social events, and host the Alan Liu memorial meet at the Eagle Park pool the last Sunday in September. You can learn more about the team by going to our website at www.mvm.org or by going by any morning practice and talking to one of our coaches on deck. Practice hours are MWF- 5:00, 6:00, and 7:00 AM; TTh - 5:30 and 6:45, Sat 6:30 and 7:45 and an hour and a half practice on Sunday 7:30 to 9:00.

This is what I think:
Eli has only known 1 offense - KG's. Eli is a natural grinder, similar to his brother. He puts in the time in the film room and even more on the practice field. The guy loves a good challenge and thrives under pressure. After 9 years of the same offense, no pressure, and just lack-luster offensive coaching, it wouldn't surrise me if he got a little bored of the scheme. Possbily finding himself studying less and losing that 'drive', that extra gut feeling that gets you excited to practice and study film.
Insert a whole new offensive system and this MVP caliber QB we all know and love could be back to his old ways: Winning. Dominating. The new system will get him pumped up, he'll have to put in more time in the film room and more time in practice. He'll be challenged - and that's a great thing for Eli. Call it what you want, but I think this shake-up is exactly what we need. Even if Eli himself doesn't see this... I think this situation I've described isn't far off.
Here's to a new offense and a new Eli. 2014 may be our year to make it back to the playoffs and set the stage for another Eli Manning SB MVP, maybe not in 2014 but it will happen with McAdoo... just in time to finish his career and ride off into the sunset with 3 rings. It can happen... I think it WILL happen. LETS GO BABY

Exactly. Sometimes its hard to put a finger on what is wrong. Change your circumstances, environment, goals.... a new challenge and sometimes you look back and say 'damn, I was just in a rut and lost that fire' This applies to a lot more things than just football.

I really love your many noodle recipes here. It all appeals to me.
Cold Sesame Noodles with Butter Pepper Shrimp
Cold Sesame Noodles & Shrimp. Simply meal that takes only 20 minutes to make. Healthy, refreshing and yummy
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total Time:
1 roll soba (Japanese buckwheat noodles, about 3 oz.)
Water, for boiling
1/4 small carrot, peeled and cut into matchstick strips
1/4 small cucumber, sliced and cut into matchstick strips
White and black sesame seeds
3 medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined
Pinch of salt
3 dashes black pepper
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon soba tsuyu (soba noodles dipping sauce)
Heat up a small sauce pan and add all the ingredients in the Dressing into the pan. Turn the heat to low and stir to combine well. Let cool.
Combine the Dressing, soba noodles, carrot, cucumber, and sesame seeds together. Toss well. Chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
Season the shrimp with the salt and black pepper. Heat up a saute pan and add some butter. When the butter melts, add the shrimp into the pan and cook until they are both sides of the shrimp are nicely browned.
Top the cold sesame noodles with some shrimp and serve immediately.
A couple of weeks ago, I had dinner with my good friends E and N at Crustacean Beverly Hills. As usual, we had our fix of the legendary garlic noodles, and opted for some butter black pepper shrimp instead of the Crustacean roasted crab. We had a wonderful time catching up, chatting about our future plans, and savoring everything we had ordered. It was a great night of dear friendships, wine, and dine. Ahhh, good times.
A few days ago, I had a sudden craving for the Crustacean garlic noodles and the black pepper shrimp but I don't have any butter and garlic at home. So I improvised what I had and made this cold sesame noodles instead, and the black pepper shrimp stayed on the menu. It was almost as satisfying as the garlic noodles, but fresher and healthier, and a perfect lunch combo for a nice spring afternoon.
For the noodles, I used some Japanese soba or buckwheat noodles, which I always have in my pantry. One roll of the soba noodles with some freshly julienned carrot and cucumber in a tangy sauce and a few perfectly cooked butter pepper shrimp were exactly what I needed that day.
Previously on Rasa Malaysia, I have shared a sesame noodles recipe, but this cold sesame noodle tastes different. What I really liked about this recipe is the cold fresh taste of the noodles. Chill the sesame noodles in the fridge for 20 minutes before serving. It makes a world of difference! Try it if you would like a refreshing spring recipe. Enjoy!

How Not To Recruit
Like most consultants, I get a reasonable number of requests to apply for one particular contract job or another. I try to give most credible e-mails at least a courtesy reply even if I'm not interested or too busy (and to those who may have thought they deserved one, my sincere apologies for overlooking your request).
This week, though, has set some new lows. It may because I have a head stuffed full of cold symptoms and medicine, so I'm alternately cranky and sleepy, but I've received three direct e-mails (i.e. I was one of the targeted recipients; don't get me started about the quality of mailing list advertisements) that indicate there is a new trend forming in position filling and it's not good.
People, give some hints about whether it's worth applying! This can't possibly be advice out of left field — I'm just not that creative. Help me to help you.
If your request for expressions of interest (effectively) only says "please send me your hourly or daily rate" and does not indicate the topic area of the work, geographical location of the company, length of work (even approximately), starting timeframe (immediately? when filled? when suitable for best candidate?), you are screwed right out of the gate. Or, at least, I am not going to be applying. Guess what? Typically for a consultant, my rates vary based on many things. Longer jobs means lower hourly rates (or, usually, not billing by the hour, but by the week or month). Starting timeframe is another variable: how much flexibility is there to fit in with existing work? Most of the time I prefer working on only one major project at a time, so I can't say yes to everything that crosses my inbox. For some arenas — be it geographical and target market — I am either not qualified or not interested for various reasons. Is the work onsite, remote or a mixture of both? Even in the telecommuting case, your location is important. The world has many timezones and whilst we can work around most of the barriers, it's good to know the full picture up front.
Secondly, who are you? If you don't tell me anything about your (company's) background and/or there is nothing about you on the 'net, how do I establish your credibility in the field or make a guess about what the work environment is going to be like? If you're a student trying to start up a business in your spare time, the whole job is different for both of us when compared to an approach from a section manager in a Fortune 500 company wanting to get some training for their staff. Reputation is important and losing a bad reputation is harder than losing a good one. So it is to be expected that a potential employee is going to check out the employer. If you turn out to be from We Love Deforestation, Inc, I might not want to work for you regardless of pay, interesting challenges or promotional opportunities.
This is naturally one of the occupational hazards of the consulting business and the idea is that in amongst the chaff are the few grains of goodness that are the jobs worth doing. Doesn't mean I have to like it. Might be why I want to get a "real job" again soon.

Green Bay Takes Second for Season-Best Finish
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
MACOMB, Ill. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Sophomore Renee Christensen (Greenleaf, Wis.) carded a second round 77 and led a young Green Bay women's golf team to a season-best second place finish on Monday at the WIU Autumn Invitational hosted by Western Illinois at Harry Mussato Golf Course. The Phoenix, with one sophomore and four freshmen playing in the 36-hole tournament, finished behind only the host Leathernecks.

Christensen shaved eight strokes off of her opening round 85 to finish with a 36-hole score of 162. The sophomore ranked second in the field with 19 pars over the course of two days.
Freshman Sammi Grunder (Pardeeville, Wis.) had the best tournament of her young career with consistent rounds 82 and 83. Grunder's two-day total of 165 left her in a tie for sixth place. Another freshman, Katie Pokrandt (Eau Claire, Wis.), bounced back from a tough first round to card an 82 on Monday and finish in tie for 12th.
Two other freshmen - Steph Laude (Slinger, Wis.) and Lexi Wilson (Marinette, Wis.) - finished in 19th and 23rd respectively to round out the Phoenix scorers.

Attorney: Superintendent's payout designed to be secret
BLACKFOOT, Idaho - The nearly quarter million dollars allocated to the former Blackfoot school superintendent was intended to remain a secret, documents suggest.
The Blackfoot School District voted in private to pay Scott Crane as part of a separation agreement.
It's a story Local News 8 and KIDK Eyewitness News have been following and digging into for months. Earlier this year, we requested Crane's contract. The district sent us every employee's contract except Crane's.
It's just one move in what the attorney for the plaintiff said was an effort to keep the payout secret.
The school district here took a lot of steps to hide this, to keep the public from knowing, said Blackfoot attorney Jared Harris. He said the payout to Crane was intended to remain under wraps.
"They set up the whole defense in advance and agreed not to disclose it," he said. He said the proof is on paper – in the fifth clause of Crane's April 20th separation agreement with the district: "In any action brought to enforce the public's right to inspect and copy this agreement, the district shall respond to and defend such action on the basis that this agreement is part of the superintendent's personnel file."
"They are charged with being responsible for the public's money. And what they're doing here, is they're contractually agreeing to hide where they're spending the money," said Harris, who said this doesn't sit well at all. "They are, by doing it this way, saying, 'We're going to make it very difficult for anyone to find it out.'"
In the court order to release the documents last week, Judge David Nye said that "everything about this case smacks of a public agency trying to hide its decision making from the public."
But it is out now. Harris today praised district patron Joyce Bingham for bringing the lawsuit to expose the payment, saying she had a lot to lose, and nothing personal to gain.
We did contact all five Blackfoot School Board members for comment, and District Superintendent Chad Struhs. They did not wish to comment.
The district has issued an apology.
Because there was a violation of Idaho's open meeting law in the development of the separation agreement, it is likely the agreement will have to be resigned in a public meeting.

Lenin's Kisses by Yan Lianke
(Text $35.99)
When the seemingly endless churn of dynasty after dynasty - ruled by successive, bully-boy warlords - finally came to an end at the beginning of the 20th century, the Chinese people might have had reason to hope that times less interesting might lie just ahead.
Trouble was, what came next was a bunch of Big Ideas, as bad and occasionally worse than any of the old despots.
The great upheavals of the Communist revolution and Maoism form the background to Yan Lianke's novel, Lenin's Kisses. The focus is upon the people of the village of Liven (the name, one gathers, is a multi-layered joke deriving from the ability of the Chinese character translated as "Liven" to mean many things), situated in the Balou mountains in Henan Province, Western China.
The unique feature of the villagers is that they are, almost to a man and woman, disabled in some way, the village having been founded when a blind man, his crippled son and a deaf-mute woman were permitted to drop out of a forced march and set up home there.
Liven's village elder is Mao Zhi, who is as old as the Revolution, having enlisted in the Red Army at the age of 11, when her revolutionary parents were killed. She is old and lame, but still a force to be reckoned with. It is she who organises for the village to "enter society" - to be incorporated in the collectivisation of agriculture that Maoist communism decrees.
And then, in the wake of the calamitous famine created by Mao's quixotic industrialisation programme, the so-called "Great Leap Forward", it is Mao Zhi who seeks to have Liven secede from the provincial administrative structure.
Liven is a microcosm for China at large. The way in which the round pegs of humanity were hammered into the square holes of Mao's Big Idea is lampooned by the scheme dreamed up by County Chief Liu, who has heard that following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia no longer has the will or wherewithal to continue to preserve the embalmed corpse of Lenin in its glass casket in Red Square.
Liu has decided to buy the corpse, build a mausoleum in the Balou Mountains and make a mint out of the tourists who will flock there to view this holy relic of Communism.
As Liven has just suffered a devastating crop failure, Chief Liu's proposal that the villagers form a salaried performance troupe - a freak show, no less - is just as difficult to resist as his promises of the stupendous wealth that Lenin's corpse will attract.
The show, in which the residents of Liven exploit their "special skills" (aptitudes they have cultivated to compensate for their impairment) is a raging success, at first.
It looks as though everyone will get what they want: Chief Liu will get Lenin's corpse, the villagers of Liven will become fabulously wealthy, and Mao Zhi will see the village "withdraw from society".
But of course, this Big Idea goes the way of all the other Big Ideas with which the Chinese have been for so long afflicted.
At first, Lenin's Kisses promises to be a difficult read. Each short chapter is followed by a set of notes ("further reading", "further further reading", "further further further reading", etc), but the sheer, exuberant absurdism soon draws you in.
Sometimes - it may be a function of translation - the author overdoes the jokes, and some passages are burdened with heavy-handed repetition.
Yet as it turns darker, and the ridiculous, flowery rhetoric of the Revolution is replaced by brutal, naked exploitation, you are reminded of the uncomfortable truth: that the absurdities that the Chinese people have lived through are as tragic and comic as anything a novelist can contrive.

Hi everyone.
Just wanted to drop you a note on an Ethernet issue that I encountered and how I resolved it.
Just got the T510 (win 7, 64-bit) and I was moving my files from my old laptop to my new machine. While transferring files through iTunes (shared library, drag&drop), the transfer would process 5-10 files and I would lose all my network connectivity. The only way to restore it was to use troubleshooting functionality in Windows and that would reset the adapter.
My network is 1G, and I tried the following first (on the Device Manager, select the Intel 82577LM, right-click, Properties, Advanced):
1. Disable auto-negotiation => No result
2. Set the network speed to 100mb => worked, but sloooow.
Finally, I changed bunch of settings and finally, it's working and it's fast. It still crashes, but after ~1000 files into it.
Settings changed are:
1. Receive Buffers (doubled from 80 to 160)
2. Receive Side Scaling (Enabled)
3. Receive Side Scaling Queues (increased to 2 queues)
4. Transmit Buffers (increased from 80 to 120)
Not sure which one worked, but it's working great now!
Thanks for the tip! So far I've just been on my WiFi, but at some point I will wire up to ethernet for some bigger file transfers. It's good to know what to try if they prove unstable also.
Thanks for posting this. I'm having the same issue and will your solution.
Thanks for sharing and I made the changes. I needed to do the same thing later this week so it sounds like you might have saved me lots of time.
Thanks! This helped me alot! I have had no crashes since these changes.
Helps us a little. (not every 5 minutes but once a day...)
T410 and two x201 with the same problem. (LAN and WLAN)
The Lenovo Tools reports no errors...
We have got an other T410 with no problem...
Hardware defect? Driver Problem?
I have a T510, running Windows 7. I run Lenovo tools regularly and perform most of the suggested updates.
Glad to see the msg and made the 4 suggested changes to my Intel gigabit adapter.
However, I still have a non-trivially slower speed with my Ethernet connection than my wireless - seems illogical --
I am using www.speedtest.net to compare speeds and my ISP in Canada is ROGERS cable--> My Ethernet speeds on about 6 tests ranged between .5MB and 1 MB (download speed) and with wireless the speed (80211.n - new linksys router) it was between 12 and 15 MBS. A factor of 10.
I have a home LAN with other desktops with Ethernet and they get close to 12 MB/sec using the same test.
I am betting it is likely the Intel adapter properties. But do not know enough to identify what to change.
Can anyone point me towards finding a solution?
Can you try pinging your router or some other PC on the network
e.g. ping -t 192.168.1.1
and see if you get any timeouts. Try 100mb/s half-duplex first, 100mb/s full-duplex and 1Gb and compare results. You should never get any timeouts on a local ethernet device. If you do then something is very wrong! Report back here pls.

U.S. Consumers Warming up to Diesel Cars

Sender E-mail
Diesel cars are plentiful in Europe
As the demand for more efficiency in vehicles increases with the government and some consumers in the U.S., some drivers are starting to consider vehicles that previously weren't popular options. One of the efficient options that consumers are starting to take notice of is the diesel engine. Clean diesels are one of the technologies that several major automakers are now looking into.
Detroit News
reports that as of now diesel sales in the U.S. are less than 3% of the total sales, which is expected to change. One of the new diesel vehicles coming to the market is from a domestic manufacturer;
Chevrolet will introduce a diesel version of Cruze in 2013
. For GM, bringing the diesel Cruz to the U.S. has little risk since it already sells diesel cars in other countries.
The Chevrolet Cruze Diesel will arrive in '13
Other automakers are looking to diesel cars as well with Mazda expecting to launch a new diesel engine in 2013, and the recipient is likely to be the all-new CX-5 small crossover utility vehicle. German automakers Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, and Mercedes all offer diesel-powered vehicles in the U.S.
Some suppliers to automakers like Robert Bosch LLC are predicting that diesel sales will grow to be 10% of the U.S. market over the next decade. Diesel cars are very popular in Europe where gasoline is expensive and diesel is more cost effective.
And it's not only economy cars that will be going diesel -- some performance cars are moving to diesel engines. BMW is expected to launch a
diesel version
of the M5 next year.
Mazda is widely expected to bring a diesel version of the new CX-5 to the U.S.
The big draw for diesel engines is that the engines are often more durable, produce more torque, and they are 20 to 30% more efficient.
Detroit News

Hi all,
I tried to search for this, but could not find the answer I am looking for!
I started a new hive this spring, and they have only filled half of my top bar hive. My question is should I install my false back behind the last comb built for the winter? Would this help them at all? They seem to be a little on the weak side, and I was thinking of putting a feeder on the other side of the follow board, with a cork opening so they can access the feeder...it is not terribly cold here yet, and I worry they do not have enough stores for winter....
Also, should I maybe give them bee candy? maybe just placing it below the combs?

The A350 XWB achieves key steps with design freeze and final assembly line groundbreaking
Airbus' A350 XWB programme has transitioned from concept to reality with the achievement of two key milestones: today's construction start-up for the A350 final assembly line, and last month's design freeze for the jetliner's first family member - the A350-900.
"Starting from a clean sheet of paper two years ago, the A350 XWB has clearly entered a new phase," said Didier Evrard, Airbus' Head of the A350 XWB programme. "In addition to today's groundbreaking ceremony for the final assembly facility, the A350's design freeze in December has allowed our teams to begin component-level work, and we are preparing for the production of tooling and the manufacturing of parts."
Evrard said the A350 XWB is on track for its commercial service entry in 2013, providing a family of new medium-capacity jetliners with long-range route capabilities that offers extra wide-body comfort for passengers, plus new levels of operating efficiency for airlines.
Today's groundbreaking ceremony signalled the start of a major construction project that will enable the final assembly of A350s to begin in 2011. This 74,000 square metre facility joins other Airbus final assembly lines in Toulouse, France, where the company already builds its A380, A330/A340 and A320 Family aircraft.
Located in an existing Airbus industrial zone on the southwest side of Toulouse Blagnac Airport, the A350 XWB's final assembly facility will use an estimated 8,000-10,000 cubic metres of existing materials from its construction site - including the recycling of a former taxiway that currently is being broken up and crushed for reuse.
The final assembly line will have a parallel work flow capacity of more than 10 A350s per month. Designed to provide a highly eco-efficient workspace, the building will produce an estimated 55 per cent of its own energy by using 22,000 square metres of roof-mounted solar panels, while also applying the maximum use of natural lighting.
"When the A350's assembly process begins in 2011, this site will represent a 140 million euro investment as the cornerstone of an extended enterprise that brings together some of the finest talents, skills and the most innovative minds that we have in Airbus - and at our suppliers worldwide," said Airbus President and CEO Tom Enders at today's groundbreaking event.
See the mini-site for full coverage of the A350 XWB final assembly line's groundbreaking ceremony.

Hormonal Contraceptives Pose Low Risk in Women With Diabetes »
"The risk of thromboembolic events from most hormonal contraceptives for women with diabetes is elevated but still relatively low, new research finds.
The results, from a large US claims database, were published online November 29 in "...
Read the Hormonal Contraceptives Pose Low Risk in Women With Diabetes article »
An increased risk of the following serious adverse reactions has been associated with the use of oral contraceptives (see WARNINGS section).
- Thrombophlebitis and venous thrombosis with or without embolism
- Arterial thromboembolism
- Pulmonary embolism
- Myocardial infarction
- Cerebral hemorrhage
- Cerebral thrombosis
- Hypertension
- Gallbladder disease
- Hepatic adenomas or benign liver tumors
The following adverse reactions have been reported in patients receiving oral contraceptives and are believed to be drug-related:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Gastrointestinal symptoms (such as abdomi- nal cramps and bloating)
- Breakthrough bleeding
- Spotting
- Change in menstrual flow
- Amenorrhea
- Temporary infertility after discontinuation of treatment
- Edema
- Melasma which may persist
- Breast changes: tenderness, enlargement, secretion
- Change in weight (increase or decrease)
- Change in cervical erosion or secretion
- Diminution in lactation when given immediately postpartum
- Cholestatic jaundice
- Migraine
- Rash (allergic)
- Mental depression
- Reduced tolerance to carbohydrates
- Vaginal candidiasis
- Change in corneal curvature (steepening)
- Intolerance to contact lenses
The following adverse reactions have been reported in users of oral contraceptives and the association has been neither confirmed nor refuted:
- Pre-menstrual syndrome
- Cataracts
- Changes in appetite
- Cystitis-like syndrome
- Headache
- Nervousness
- Dizziness
- Hirsutism
- Loss of scalp hair
- Erythema multiforme
- Erythema nodosum
- Hemorrhagic eruption
- Vaginitis
- Porphyria
- Impaired renal function
- Hemolytic uremic syndrome
- Acne
- Changes in libido
- Colitis
- Budd-Chiari syndrome
Read the Necon (norethindrone and ethinyl estradiol tablets) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Reduced efficacy and increased incidence of breakthrough bleeding and menstrual irregularities have been associated with concomitant use of rifampin. A similar association, though less marked, has been suggested with barbiturates, phenylbutazone, phenytoin sodium, carbamazepine, and possibly with griseofulvin, ampicillin, and tetracyclines (72).
Interactions With Laboratory Tests
Certain endocrine and liver function tests and blood components may be affected by oral contraceptives:
- Increased prothrombin and factors VII, VIII, IX and X; decreased antithrombin 3; increased norepinephrine-induced platelet aggregability
- Increased thyroid binding globulin (TBG) leading to increased circulating total thyroid hormone, as measured by proteinbound iodine (PBI), T4 by column or by radioimmuno- assay. Free T3 resin uptake is decreased, reflecting the elevated TBG, free T4 concentration is unaltered.
- Other binding proteins may be elevated in the serum.
- Sex-binding globulins are increased and result in elevated levels of total circulating sex steroids and corticoids; however, free or biologically active levels remain unchanged.
- Triglycerides may be increased.
- Glucose tolerance may be decreased.
- Serum folate levels may be depressed by oral contraceptive therapy. This may be of clinical significance if a woman becomes pregnant shortly after discontinuing oral contraceptives.

When most people think of Grimmway Farms, they think of carrots, and why not? After all, Grimmway processes 40,000 of California's 75,000 acres of carrots, and 80% of the U.S. total is processed in the state. On an average day, they send out so many truckloads that if those trucks formed a convoy, it would stretch for 2½ miles. That's 10 million pounds of carrots a day. And they're doing that pretty much day in and day out, every day of the year.
Grimmway has come a long way from when brothers Bob and Rod Grimm started growing sweet corn back in the 1960s on the same ground that is now home to Angel Stadium of Anaheim. Their nephew, Jeff Meger, now serves as president of the company, which is headquartered in Bakersfield, CA. And today they process — and grow — a lot more than carrots. In fact, while they grow about 40% of the conventionally grown carrots they pack, they grow 100% of the organic vegetables they pack, carrots and otherwise.
While many people may know that with 55,000 acres, Grimmway is America's largest grower — a glance at AVG's Top 100 would tell you that — nearly half that acreage is organic. In other words, with 26,000 acres, Grimmway is far and away America's biggest organic farmer. The organic division is called Cal-Organic, and it started with just a quarter acre of lettuce back in 1983.
Ground Control
In 2001, Grimmway acquired Cal-Organic, which has obviously enjoyed tremendous success. Ask him why, and Grimmway's organic farming manager, Todd Brendlin, will tell you it's the very fact that they own all their organic acreage. "There are no outside growers; it's 100% in-house," he says. "We are able to grow a consistent product year-round because we control it from the ground up."
Brendlin's not a member of the Grimm family, though his family is in farming. His dad, Bill Moresco, grows lettuce for Tanimura & Antle in Salinas. Brendlin also worked for his uncle at Ocean Mist Farms in the Coachella Valley before joining Grimmway in 2002. He began overseeing organic production in 2005. Right away, Brendlin was surprised at the tremendous quality they were getting.
"I never thought you could do it," he says. "I never believed you could control the pests and nutritionally provide for the crop using organic materials."
One factor is that organic materials have improved in recent years. But even more important, he thinks Grimmway's strategy of planting organic crops on their best ground is huge.
By best ground, Brendlin means good soil tilth, drainage, sufficient levels of essential nutrients, plenty of microorganisms, low weed pressure, and the ideal pH range for the crop. Most vegetables thrive in the pH range of 6.0 to 7.0, and pH has enormous effects on productivity. In soils with low pH (acidic soils) phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium are most likely to be deficient.
The most common mistake growers who begin farming organically make is to use some of their worst ground for an organic crop. It's a mistake Brendlin sees often, and he thinks it's because the grower is doing it as an experiment, and so does not wish to risk using his best ground. But by using ground that produces marginal crops conventionally, the novice organic grower is practically guaranteeing his first organic crop won't be successful.
"That's what I see people doing all the time," he says. "But crops grown
in healthy, balanced soils don't have
to be sprayed."
Rotation Is Crucial
Interestingly enough, the reason Grimmway farms 50-plus organic crops gets back to carrots, at least in part. Tellingly, on the conventional side, their primary focus is growing carrots and potatoes. Even with the use of soil fumigants and conventional chemicals you must have a large land base in order to rotate a root crop to prevent pests and diseases. For example, carrots are especially prone to root-knot nematodes. They don't have the tools of using conventional soil fumigants on their organic ground. So after a carrot crop, they will rotate into a brassica, solanaceae-potato or tomato, or leafy green. "Carrots are the main driver for us," says Brendlin. "We need crops to rotate with carrots; otherwise we'd have a lot of fallow ground sitting there."
Perhaps the biggest challenge in organic farming is weeds. Coming over from conventional farming a few years ago, Brendlin thought there was no way they were going to be able to handle the notoriously tough nutsedge. There's no secret to how to eliminate it; it just takes a lot of work. After every crop they go through the field with a spring tooth chisel, till up the nutsedge, and let it dry out on top of the soil. "It's not a one-time deal — it can take several years to eliminate out of your field — but it can be done," he says. "That's another reason we own all our own ground, over the years we've been able to eliminate virtually all the weeds from our fields to the point that we have a weed-free policy."
Weed-free does not mean sterile, though, not by a long shot. One of the rewards of organic farming, says Brendlin, is achieving a balanced healthy soil rich in organic matter that's full of beneficial organisms and bacteria that are constantly breaking down that organic material so it can be available to the plants. Beneficial organisms also compete with and suppress disease-causing organisms. "Organic farming is a production system that sustains the health of the soils," he concludes. "More often you are feeding the soil, not the plant."

text: At this point, we are right with Milwaukee, and 4 games back of both Charlotte and Indiana in the win column. Charlotte apparently decided to tank the season, trading away a key player or two looking to improve for next year. Indiana has lost two straight. We play Milwaukee Tuesday, so we can get ahead of them if we win that one. Still in the race. Me, I say forget the draft picks - develop the young guys we have by getting them to the playoffs - and see how far they can go. And as for Rip - I hope at some point he realizes two things - yes this team can win in the playoffs - and that - we can go farther with him than without him. 2nd, Rip needs a lot of rest, considering how old he is and how many years he played deep into the playoffs in the last decade. Missing a bunch of games, both the team and Rip should realize its a blessing - and forget the past and just use all that pent up energy to win some games. Rip can play decent D, especially when full of energy, and can knock down shots. Full steam ahead. GO PISTONS!!!!!

Perry's 20/20 Plan
Original post made by Cindy Cross, Parkside, on Oct 29, 2011
Rick Perry has developed a new tax plan to try jump starting his campaign. His plan, which he calls Cut, Balance, and Grow, is an alternative to Herman Cain's 9-9-9 tax plan.
Perry's plan would call for a 20% flat tax for individuals, a 20% corporate tax rate, a 5.25% tax rate on overseas profits and would cap spending at 18% of GDP.
"Taxes are too high, too complex, and too riddled with special interest loopholes," his plan is so simple that Americans will be able to "file their taxes on a postcard," Perry wrote in the Wall Street Journal.
In reference to Mitt Romney's plans to jumpstart the economy Perry said,"Others simply offer microwaved plans with warmed-over reforms based on current ingredients. Americans, however, aren't searching for a reshuffling of the status quo, which simply empowers the entrenched interests. This is a change election, and I offer a plan that changes the way Washington does business."
Critics of Perry's 20% plan say that the top 1% would be paying less than they are now.
Along with the flat tax, in order for Perry's plan to succeed, Americans must be willing to raise the age to receive Social Security and Medicaid benefits, and those in higher income levels must agree to either receive less in benefits or none at all.
Perry is determined to raise his percentage in the GOP poles, where he took a big hit during an early debate when he defended his approval of offering the children of illegal immigrants a break on college tuition in Texas.
Perry has been going after the jugular with Mitt Romney; going head to head with him during debates, and pointing out Romney's 'flip-flopping' in the media.
Will Perry's 20/20 plan hold any water during the next debate on November 9th?

Perry team was forced to come up with something financial, since Cain had 9-9-9 (even tho full of major flaws), and Romney had a genuine 59 point financial plan. Sadly, politician Perry did not create a plan...instead came up with a partially plagiarized old 'postcard' plan of Steve Forbes. But, he wasn't even committed enough to it, so he qualified it with , unless you don't want to use that plan. I guess that means we'd still need same IRS, and we choose?? maybe it's not so different ? maybe it's not really worked out yet, which is maybe why he's talking about not bothering with more 'debates' which he says are a 'waste' of his campaign time. Sounds pretty cowardly to me.
He's going to have to come up with some 'committments'. I guess he gives new meaning to 'SWING' voter, since DEM Perry voted for Jimmy Carter, then campaigned for and contributed to AL GORE ! ! A party flipper like Perry could be called an opportunist, a bit short on core beliefs. He's more like an ol' boy LBJ politician, Texas cronism to the core...except this isn't a Texas crony campaign...there are 49 other states that aren't too impressed with his Texas style of politics, owned by the big oil cronies. I fear Perry's petty style of politics is not what our country needs in 2011.
Petty Perry's meaningless and gratuitous hits at Romney means maybe Perry's not ready for prime time. If he can't win on his own merit, maybe he should just stay in the deserts of Texas.

For knowing it all, the Republicans just can't seem to get their act together. Yet, they insist that whoever is in the spotlight at the time is the greatest thing since sliced bread. The conservative merry-go-round isn't holding up on the national stage.
Yet, I would love to see someone step forward with some substance, not merely "OBAMA DID IT OBAMA DID IT" rhetoric. Hummmm, can't seem to find any.
Oh well, let's stick with "OBAMA DID IT OBAMA DID IT". At least no one has to think.

When I looked for giant-jets tickets for preaseason, $40-$50 got you nosebleeds pretty much... so I am sure that what you paid for them isn't that bad.
That's fine, but than treat it like the super bowl - open the ticket sales to the public and don't force either teams season ticket holders to buy tickets. I'm sure they'd get a full house with 2 teams playing for such a prestigious title.

Regulation of Vessels, Aircraft and Non-Road Vehicles
In 2007 and 2008, the Attorney General filed petitions with EPA requesting that it adopt regulations under the Clean Air Act controlling the greenhouse gas emissions from ocean-going vessels, aircraft, and non-road vehicles and engines (such as construction and farm machinery, mining equipment, lawn and garden equipment, and others). Together, these sources emit large amounts of harmful particulate matter and as much greenhouse gas as 270 million cars – more than the entire number of registered vehicles in the United States. Ocean-going vessels are responsible for 2-3% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. Aircraft contribute 3% of the United States carbon dioxide emissions and 12% of our transportation sector emissions. Non-road vehicles and engines emitted 220 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2007. Read the ocean-going vessel petition, pdf. Read the aircraft petition, pdf. Read the non-road vehicle petition,pdf.
Because the Bush Administration EPA failed to respond to any of these petitions or otherwise take any action to regulate greenhouse gases from these sources, the Attorney General and other states sent a formal notification to EPA that it would sue EPA for unreasonable delay if it did not act on the petitions. Read the notice letter.

FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether methylphenidate will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.
It is not known whether methylphenidate passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Long-term use of methylphenidate can slow a child's growth. Tell your doctor if the child using this medication is not growing or gaining weight properly.
Do not give methylphenidate to a child younger than 6 years old without the advice of a doctor.
How should I take methylphenidate?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Take this medication at least 30 minutes before a meal. The extended-release forms of methylphenidate (Ritalin-SR, Metadate ER, Metadate CD, Methylin ER, Concerta) can be taken with or without food.
The chewable tablet must be chewed before you swallow it.
Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow it whole. Breaking the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
You may open the extended-release capsule and sprinkle the medicine into a spoonful of pudding or applesauce to make swallowing easier. Swallow right away without chewing. Do not save the mixture for later use. Discard the empty capsule.
Measure liquid medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.

Perfect apartment for a family holiday. Pettneu is significantly quieter than St. Anton and after you drive better anyway skiing to Lech, the distance (by car) even matter. Alternatively, there's a good ski bus. And, without a car is probably laborious's there.
The apartment is nicely furnished and spacious. Everything you need was present and what was still missing was filed, the helpful landlord immediately. Gladly again!
Perfekte Ferienwohnung für einen Familienurlaub. Pettneu ist deutlich ruhiger als St. Anton und nachdem man sowieso besser nach Lech skifahren fährt, ist die Entfernung (mit dem Auto) auch schon egal. Alternativ gibt's eine gute Skibusverbindung. Wobei, ohne Auto ist's wohl mühsam dort.
Die Wohnung ist nett eingerichtet und geräumig. Alles, was man braucht war vorhanden und was noch fehlte wurde vom hilfsbereiten Vermieter unverzüglich nachgereicht. Gerne wieder!
Reviews for this host's other properties
The holydays in Club Vista serena, was very nice and confortable. A value quality and price appartments, nice service. Highly recoment
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you
perfect!! the host were so accomodating...nice flat with a private pool...100% coming back!

A lightened pie crust plus the tart-sweet combination of peaches and raspberries is truly a winning recipe. Make this when peaches are at their most flavorful in midsummer.
Nutrition Profile:
High Fiber
Low Cholesterol
Low Sodium
Serves 10
Prep Time 60 min
Total Time 210 min.
Step 1
To prepare crust: Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar and salt in a large bowl. Cut butter into small pieces and, with your fingers, quickly rub them into the dry ingredients until the pieces are smaller but still visible. Add sour cream and oil; toss with a fork to combine with the dry ingredients. Sprinkle water over the mixture. Toss with a fork until evenly moist. Knead the dough with your hands in the bowl a few times—the mixture will still be a little crumbly. Turn out onto a clean surface and knead a few more times, until the dough just holds together. Divide the dough in half and shape into 5-inch-wide disks. Wrap each in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 2
Meanwhile, prepare filling: Combine peaches, raspberries, 2/3 cup sugar and lemon juice in a large bowl; toss well to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Transfer the fruit mixture to a colander set over a medium bowl and let drain for 30 minutes. Pour the collected juice into a small saucepan. Return the fruit to the large bowl. Bring the juice to a boil over high heat and cook, gently swirling the pan, until reduced, syrupy and slightly darkened in color, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the syrup to the fruit along with cornstarch; gently toss until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Step 3
To assemble & bake pie: Position a rack in the center of the oven and place a foil-lined baking sheet on the rack below; preheat to 375°F.
Step 4
Remove the dough from the refrigerator; let stand for 5 minutes to warm slightly. Roll one portion between sheets of parchment or wax paper into a 12-inch circle. Peel off the top sheet and invert the dough into a 9-inch pie pan. Peel off the remaining paper. Trim the crust with kitchen shears or a butter knife so it overhangs the edge of the pan by 1 inch. Scrape the filling into the crust. Roll the remaining portion of dough between sheets of parchment or wax paper into another 12-inch circle. Peel off the top sheet of paper and invert the dough onto the fruit. Trim the top crust so it overhangs evenly. Tuck the top crust under the bottom crust, sealing the two together and making a plump edge. Flute the edge with your fingers. Brush the top and edge with egg white and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar. Cut 6 steam vents in the top crust.
Step 5
Bake the pie on the center rack until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 1 1/2 hours.

Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(July 21, 2005)--Harriett Romo, UTSA associate professor of sociology, and UTSA sociology graduate students Christy Granada and Maria Rodriguez are attending a workshop on interactional design and learning this week at Stanford University.
Romo and the students are participating in the workshop as part of the Learning in Formal and Informal Environments (LIFE) project, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

The UTSA group is working with teams from Sweden, Norway, China and other universities in Virginia, Mississippi and Tennessee to design media approaches to teach adults and children about second-language learning, living healthier lifestyles, playing music and building a house. The teams will present their projects to Stanford professors.
Last year, NSF awarded a $25 million grant to researchers at the Stanford University Center for Innovations in Learning, the University of Washington and SRI International, a nonprofit research institute based in Menlo Park, Calif., to advance the scientific understanding and practices of learning.
Researchers involved in the collaborative effort, called the LIFE Center, are synthesizing theories and methodologies of neuroscience, psychology, education and technology to study how people learn. Research will include studies on topics ranging from early social and language development to K-12 and post-graduate learning in mathematics, science, technology and engineering.
Across LIFE's three institutions, more than 40 faculty and senior researchers are involved in the extensive research in developmental, cognitive and social neuroscience, communications, the learning sciences, psychology, education and computer science.

text: Somebody needs to set up teammates. Bynum's drive and kicks have been our best plays for the last few weeks. And that doesn't even involve designed plays. Daye, Villanueva, and Gordon have been getting some really wide open looks off of this formula. He's also been decent about driving and lobbing... although defenses seem to be catching on. But other than these setups, our guys are really not getting anything easy. Stuckey isn't giving anybody wide open looks or bunnies. TMac is making solid passes, but he's not getting anybody wide open either. The problem with Bynum is that he's not a shooting threat, so they don't have to respect the perimeter with him (or Stuckey), and when he drives, he's just too short to be a devastating finisher... so he gets blocked a lot and has to make layups overly difficult. Even so, he's making the defenses collapse when he gets in there. We are tired of the Rip offense, but at least it manufactured open jump shots on occasion- or at least open enough for Rip. Ben Wallace has had a ton of games with anemic scoring. Monroe has been OK, but he's getting a lot of his baskets as a garbage man. All in all, the offense is broke and the defense is broken.

Starting Position: Place your feet securely into the foot cradles positioned directly under the anchor point. Flex your ankles and press down with your heels. Gently lie back on a mat/floor with your arms at your sides and palms flat on the ground and legs straight. Engaging your core and your glutes (butt) lift your hips off the floor keeping your body straight and rigid. Use your hands to help stabilize your body. Slowly pull your heels towards your hips. Keep your ankles flexed, toes pointed toward the ceiling. The hips should begin to bend but your torso should remain rigid with your weight bearing on your shoulders. Keep you feet together throughout the exercise.
Upward Phase: Exhale and press your hips towards the ceiling, making a straight rigid line from your sternum bone to your pubic bone. Do not allow your low back to arch. Avoid any back and forth swinging of the TRX straps.
Downward Phase: Inhale and slowly return your hips to your starting position. Avoid any back and forth swinging of the TRX straps.
Progression: The intensity of this exercise can be increased by lengthening the straps and positioning your body further away from under the anchor point of the TRX.
During this exercise, individuals often arch their back to press the hips as high as possible. This increases the stresses on the low back and should be avoided. Contracting your abdominal muscles and maintaining a neutral (flat) spine can reduce these stresses.
