Trained by David Wachman, the son of Danetime was ridden to victory by Johnny Murtagh as the 9-2 choice.
Bushranger finished third, five lengths behind the Aidan O'Brien-trained Mastercraftsman in the Independent Waterford Wedgwood Phoenix Stakes (Ire-I) at the Curragh July 27. Bushranger won a group III at the Curragh two weeks prior to that.
Bushranger tracked the leaders in the six-furlong straight event, which was contested on good going, before closing in with a quarter-mile to go. Under urging from Murtagh, he drove past Gallagher, who had assumed the advantage under Jimmy Fortune with more than a half-furlong to run, and won in a driving finish. It was 2 1/2 lengths back to the third-place finisher, Lord Shanakill.
"It was great," Wachman told the Racing Post. "We have always thought a lot of him, and Johnny gave him a very good ride. It all went to plan, he got a lead and took it up late."
A decision on the next start for Bushranger, who is owned by Derrick Smith and Susan Magnier, has not been made.
"He can go on any ground. The owners have a lot of horses, so we'll just have to see where it suits them with the rest of their plans," Wachman said.

Growing Our Own Producers
During the First Bite Festival, which took place at mac, birmingham on the 24th September 2011, China Plate hosted a number of events aimed at both Producers and Artists from the West Midlands and beyond. These discussions/forums were a response to an Open Space session, held by the mid*point steering group in June 2011, entitled 'Growing Our Own Producers' – a session which posed a number of questions addressing what it means to be a Producer, and the relationship between Producers and Artists. It also suggested the creation of a West Midlands based Producers Network, based on an On-Call model aimed at promoting conversations between Producers and Artists. China Plate's additional events were designed to address the questions raised in the session and to open up further discussions. A link to the Open Space notes can be found here http://bit.ly/o3emUm.
These notes are simply intended as a record of the conversations had during those three sessions and as a prompt to further debate around the regional producing question.
A morning session was held specifically for Producers with the intention of finding out how many working/budding Producers were in the region. We posed the following questions in 3 separate groups before coming together and sharing thoughts:
- How do we define Producers and where are the Producers?
- How do Producers start off and how can we open up conversations with Producers and Artists?
- How do Producers start networks and how can we link regional producers?
The second session was an informal exchange between Producers and Artists. This was a relaxed opportunity for artists and producers to open up conversations and share contacts.
In the afternoon we programmed an Artists/Producer forum aimed to open up a wider discussion between Artists and Producers regarding what had been raised in the morning sessions and the questions posed at the Open Space session. We invited 3 industry professionals to speak at the beginning of the session, and then opened up the discussion to all other attendees.
These speakers were:
Katie Keeler (Theatre Bristol). Katie is an established and well-respected Producer working in Bristol and nationally. She outlined what she saw were the 10 most important aspects of being a successful Producer.
Lucy Moore (Independent Producer/Arts Agenda). Lucy is a Producer working out of Brighton – she works with Stillpoint, Inspector Sands and Hydrocracker Theatre Company and is an Associate Producer for Arts Agenda. She spoke about the Producer network 'Soup', which she has created with a small number of Producers in Brighton.
Katie Day (The Other Way Works). Katie is an artist and director and Artistic Director of The Other Way Works. She was a self-produced artist for a number of years before working with Producers including Katie Keeler and Ric Watts. She spoke about making the move from self-producing work to working in collaboration with Producers and Venues.
General notes from Session 1
An Open Meeting for Producers and Budding Producers
The majority of people who attended this session were attached to regional venues or already well embedded in the region's theatre making ecology. This may be a reflection on the number of people interested in producing as a career in the West Midlands, or on early career arts professionals' reluctance to define themselves in this way – see below.
How do we define a 'Producer'?
Do we need sub titles?
- Creative Producer
- Project Manager
- Decision maker – relationship to artistic side of things?
What is the difference between these types of producer – if any?
At what point does the Producer hand over to the project manager?
What are the expectations relating to the producer's artistic input?
Kate McGrath (producer with Fuel) recently conducted a small straw poll that suggested Artist's dreaded receiving "feedback" from their Producers (although they understood the value) whilst Producers felt it was the most exciting part of their job.
Where are the Producers?
Is it possible/desirable to set up a Producing hub in the West Midlands?
First we need to know where the producers are. Is the perceived dearth of producers in the West Midlands accurate? The group felt that people who might be thought of as producers (although they might not currently call themselves that) could be found:
– In venues
– Working with NPO companies
– Working with non NPO companies
– Working with communities
– Working outside of the arts?
– At festivals
– In education – universities
Other colleges
Vocational training
– Outside of region
– Running their own company
– In outreach and education departments.
How do you help people realise they are producers? Are they also artists?
How do Producers and Artists start to make connections?
– Trust
– Through audiences
– By seeing each others work
– By defining their areas of passion
– By understanding your strengths
– By knowing what/who you like and finding ways of making introductions
– By creating meeting spaces around festivals and events
– Speed dating!
– Orchestration and design
– Doing your homework
– By putting yourself in a position to make something happen that couldn't otherwise happen.
– Through drinking tea/beer/wine (networking)
– Online forums
– Through venues
How do Producers start off?
By wanting to provide a platform and support for creation but not to make work themselves.
Coming to Producing from different places, not always from a theatre background.
By not being restricted by funding – as in funded through an initiative set up by a third party
Beginning as performers and then becoming producers.
How do Producers create networks?
What are people involved in already?
How might they operate across genre boundaries (dance, art, live art, theatre, etc)
Not fast process – it's more organic
It might be interesting to look at other models such as…
PANDA (in Manchester)
FST (Federation for Scottish Theatres) – this is a fee-paying network but they have been set a mandate to act as a lobbying group for their members.
Do we try and create a Producer network and if so what are the rules?
Do we try and support something that may emerge more organically?
Where is the support coming from?
Is there a different buy-in for freelancers? If the support is coming from venues and their staff, there are clear-cut boundaries. However, if it is coming from freelancers, their offer is potentially less altruistic – individuals receiving support maybe potential future collaborators or competitors.
Theatre Bristol successfully held a space with no agenda attached to it – they were the glue that held things together without being based in a building. Should the new midpoint model try and do something similar?
General notes from Session 2
An Informal Exchange between Artists and Producers
With approximately 40 people in the room, China Plate introduced the session, using some principals of Open Space as a guideline; take the iniative to speak to those people you want to speak to; the law of two feet; the people in the room are the right people.
Individuals then were asked to very briefly introduce themselves. After the introductions were made individuals then had an opportunity to connect with each other, making new relationships and gaining better understanding of each-others working practice.
General notes from Session 3
Artists / Producer forum
Notes from Katie Keeler:
Katie Keeler works for Theatre Bristol as part of a collective of Producers whose driver is to make better theatre in Bristol.
She ran through her top 10 things that make a good producer:
- Make Networks (Friends)
This will encourage you to take risks and expand your horizons. Understanding competition will help producers raise their game.
Networks help to breakdown hierarchies
- Know what you serve
Take responsibility, but don't overplay your role
- Trust your instincts
- Be Idea Led
Be flexible and focused on 'making stuff happen'
- Spot the Gaps and Potential
Make your own opportunities
- Share your knowledge and skills
This helps to raise everyone's game
- Be Open
Good ideas can come from unexpected places
- Advocate
For the work, and the region, and the art form
- Challenge and Provoke
Be impartial yet opinionated
- Leadership
Acknowledge the role of Producers as leaders
Notes from Lucy Moore
Lucy is an independent Producer with a particular interest in outdoor and site-specific work. She has links with BAC and Arts Agenda and feels producing is something she still figures out as she goes along.
Working with Inspector Sands involved bringing experienced and emerging practitioners together to create work. Her role of Producer was supported by an Executive Producer on this project. The Executive Producer in this context operated as a kind of mentor for Lucy.
Lucy raised the issue that producing can often feel isolating. Independent Producers often work from home, on a project by project basis, which can also feel financially scary. She developed a way of working to encourage peer support – 'Soup'. Soup involves 3 producers working from each others houses once a week. The 3 producers would start the day together, discussing the work they were focusing on before working independently on different projects. This allows them to share skills, knowledge and ideas, bounce ideas off each other and gain valuable advice.
In addition they also hold 'Soup Drinks', where they invite other producers to meet for drinks, networking and to give and get advice.
Notes from Katie Day
Katie is an Artist who has both self-produced and worked with producers.
Katie started her company after leaving university in 2004, and learnt the nuts and bolts in how to run a company. She was self-taught and retained control so she could devise and direct her own work.
Even when later in her career, when Katie began working with Producers, she still remained heavily involved.
Katie also spent time running Theatre Sandbox. This involved producing 6 new commissions of other people's work, facilitating artists to make ideas happen. She found it useful to work with her peers in this way.
When Katie began working with Producers she found it refreshing and really useful. They supported fundraising, administration, marketing, tour-booking and other areas. This allowed Katie to be artistically focused, which was particularly useful in the run up to shows.
She recognises as an artist who has self-produced in the past the process of handing work / control over to a producer could be challenging. She is particularly interested in working with Producers who hold a portfolio of work, and have the ability to tour book, having a strong network of contacts and reputation.
Further Discussion
After each speaker had address the audience the session was opened up for questions and comments. Key things that came up included:
- The need for people to tour book work vs the need for a producer to have deep enough understanding of work to be able to tour book
- Producers needs to identify and work in the gaps in between
- When moving from self-producing to working with a producer it can be challenging to know how to decide what the Producer does.
- Producers should be helping artists think strategically, locating the places their work could / should fit
- The value of self-producing first – understanding the jobs and control you're handing over properly
- The idea of emerging producers working with emerging artists – and maybe getting support / mentoring for established producers and artists
- That artists shouldn't be afraid to ask questions of possible producers – to interrogate potential relationships before entering into them
- Working within organisations can offer key experience and develop skills before working independently
- Producers need a good understanding and skillset in press and marketing. Understanding and relationships with the audience are very important
- Producers should always be asking who, what, where and why in relation to a piece of work being made.

Katrina's real name is Katrina Turquotte
After remaining silent for years Ayesha has revealed some of Katrina's unknown secrets. Biggest of all Katrina Kaif's real name is Katrina Turquotte. Since the English surname was difficult to pronounce they changed it to Kaif after even thinking of naming her Katrina Kazi. Ayesha added that the name on Katrina's passport when she came to India was Katrina Turquotte.
Katrina always maintained that her Kaif surname was due to her Kashmiri father but Ayesha did not give much weight to her claim. Ayesha also revealed that she was the first person to make Katrina aware of Bollywood and it was only later that she came in contact with beau Salman Khan. Ayesha though is a shade upset as Katrina never acknowledged her role and did not even bother to keep in touch with her.

Local man turns old surfboards into works of art
BEAUFORT - A Carteret County man has been putting food on the table for the past 25 years with his surfboard crafted sculptures.
Craig Gurganus is an Artist, Surfer, and Fishermen. He combined all of those hobbies 25 years ago into one art. Gurganus takes old, beat down surfboards and turns them into colorful sculptures.
"I broke my surfboard [25 years ago]. It was the only board I had," Gurganus said. "Then the idea came to me to make something out of my broken board."
His business, Fish Bouffant, operates out of his home in the town of Beaufort. Gurganus creates a multitude of different types of fish. From marlin, to wahoo, to jellyfish, Gurganus will pretty much make anything.
Here's how it works, after carving off the outer layer of the surfboard, Gurganus cuts a rough outline of the fish he is going to make. Gurganus then uses shish kabob skewers, cloth, spray paint, and resin to make the fish's skin and fins. A single fish could take a couple days. Though, Gurganus said he works on several at a time.
"I hope maybe that's the way I am period, Fun and lighthearted." Gurganus said. "I'm an artist but it's more fun making people happy. And these fish, they seem to make people real happy."
The price for one of Gurganus's fishy creations is about $100 a foot.
Gurganus's home will be part of an old homes tour in Beaufort on June 29th and 30th. His art can be viewed from his home then.

A Dynamic Model of Inflation for Kenya, 1974–1996
This paper analyses the dynamics of inflation in Kenya during 1974–96, a period characterized by external shocks and internal disequilibria. By developing a parsimonious and empirically constant error correction model the paper finds that the exchange rate, foreign prices, and terms of trade have long-run effects on inflation, while the money supply and interest rate only have short-run effects. The dynamics of inflation are also found to be influenced by food supply constraints. Moreover, inertia is important for the period up to 1993, when about 40 percent of current inflation was transmitted to the next quarter. After 1993 inertia drops to about 10 percent.

"Rather than being treated as a metaphor, the model of penal substitution has been given an objective reality which does not belong to it."
Herein lies the rub in the atonement debate. Do we hold (as I do) that there IS an objective reality to punishment and wrath and substitution, or do we think it's JUST a metaphor?

Hey TPC,
need some help diagnosing my problem. I was driving on the 401E yesterday and all of a sudden I wasn't able to go any faster than 120 km/hr. The tachometer maxed out at around 4000 rpm and any gas given to it after that point I would feel a loss of power and the engine would sound like it'd be doing 7-8k rpm. I pulled over to the side of the street after taking the first exit and I could hear rattling and as if there were little pieces flying around inside the exhaust system as I was revving the engine in neutral.
I'm thinking most likely its my catalytic converter dying out on me as my mechanic had told me before that the honeycomb inside was probably disintegrating. As a temporary solution do you think it'd be a good idea to find a mechanic to gut the cat just so I can drive back to Toronto and put on a new exhaust system?
Would it be possible that the cat is clogged and creating back pressure in the exhaust system causing it to lose power at 4000 rpm? The check engine light turned on shortly after this but I have not checked the codes yet. I have replaced my spark plugs and distributor less than a year ago. I'm 430 km away from Toronto so any help or input would be much appreciated!

Entertainer of the week
There is but one man who can thrill the senses in the most unbridled way - Christopher Henry Gayle. Anyone who witnessed Gayle's audacious assault on the hapless Pune Warriors bowling in Bangalore on Tuesday will testify to having seen the most amazing innings played in Twenty20 cricket.
Gayle slammed an unbeaten 175 off 66 balls, in the process breaking a spate of records [LINK TO http://ibnlive.in.com/news/cricketnext/chris-gayle-smashes-the-record-books-with-berserk-century/387284-78.html], to power the hosts to a record total of 263 for 5. In all, he struck 17 sixes and needed 30 balls for his century. Before the evening was over, Gayle pocketed two wickets in his only over and broke into his Gangnam dance to send the RCB fans into raptures. Chris Gayle, you rock.
Innings of the week
Yes, of course this belonged to Gayle but we are making an exception here because the innings in case came from Virender Sehwag, and who cannot admire Sehwag batting at full throttle? Plus, it delivered Delhi Daredevils their first win after six straight losses.
Sehwag came into Sunday's match at the Feroz Shah Kotla with scores of 12, 25 and 17 in IPL 6 but found refreshingly reverted to his dazzling best with an unbeaten 95 off 57 balls to chase down a target of 162 with an entire three overs remaining. He bolted away with a series of boundaries off Jasprit Bumrah and Munaf Patel to help Delhi take 60 off the Powerplay, and then led a record 151-run opening stand with Mahela Jayawardene. It was vintage Sehwag, sending the ball to all parts of the park and leaving Mumbai Indians in a daze.
Quote of the week
"I bluffed and thought that I have been in-form. Viv Richards spoke about bluffing, he said even if a batsman feels scared inside, he should show that he is confident, he has the self-belief. That has helped." Sehwag admitted after collecting the Man-of-the-Match award for his 95 not out that a few words of advice from the former West Indies captain, now signed on as Delhi's ambassador, had come in handy.
Tragedy team of the week
Following a penultimate-ball lost to Kings XI Punjab and Gaylestorm, Pune have now lost three matches in a row to sit with the worst net run rate among all nine teams: -1.467. Wins over Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings were followed by a hat-trick of defeats to leave the embattled franchise on four points from eight matches.
Catch of the week
The winner is Mr Cricket. He may have given up international cricket, but Michael Hussey is proving invaluable in the IPL for Chennai Super Kings. The catch in mention came at Eden Gardens last Saturday, and snapped an opening stand of 46 for hosts Kolkata Knight Riders just before the end of the Powerplay. Gautam Gambhir cut the ball the air down towards third man, where sprinting to his left, Hussey took a low catch. It was dying on Hussey, but he plucked it inches off the ground.
Unwanted stat of the week
Until April 20, Jacques Kallis had never been dismissed without facing a delivery in any international format or the IPL. But against CSK, he was run out without facing to achieve his first diamond duck in representative cricket. Kallis watched as Yusuf Pathan played the ball straight to point and called for the risky single, and S Badrinath knocked down the stumps with a brilliant hit. Without facing a ball, Kallis had done his team plenty of damage.
Ball of the week
In a week highlighted by carnage with the bat, R Ashwin provided the purists something delightful - a traditional ofspinner's dismissal. It came when the Rajasthan Royals openers Shane Watson and Ajinkya Rahane were compiling a platform thick and fast. Ashwin - who for most of the tournament had relied on carom balls - slipped in a teasing offbreak to Rahane who made room to cut but was beaten for sharp turn. That ball had all the attributes of a perfect offbreak: it was slow in the air, flighted, turned sharply and bounced too. As Ashwin celebrated with his CSK team-mates, the giant TV screen flashed "Ash good as it gets".
Comeback of the week
Watson had not bowled an over in competitive cricket since the Boxing Day Test of 2013 until he was given the ball by his Rajasthan captain Rahul Dravid in the match against RCB on Saturday. His first ball was a loosener - a full ball outside off which Gayle put away for four. However, Watson proved his arm was still golden when he got Tillakaratne Dilshan to nick behind in the over.
Entry of the week
Batting for the first time in the IPL, England allrounder Luke Wright made an immediate impact with the bat as he smacked 37 off 10 balls to turn a fighting total into a dominating one for Pune Warriors. Or so it seemed until he conceded 16 in the last five balls of KXIP's chase ... but more on that in a bit. Walking to the middle with Pune 142 for 3 in 17.1 overs, Wright blasted his first four balls for fours to ensure 17 came off the 18th over bowled by Azhar Mahmood.
On his fifth delivery, Wright charged Praveen Kumar and lofted four more over extra cover; on the sixth, a dab to third man went through Parvinder Awana's legs to give Wright another boundary; the seventh was squeezed through midwicket for two; the eighth dumped over midwicket for six; two more came off the next as Wright chipped through midwicket. In nine balls, he had scored 37. Looking for the six that could have taken his strike-rate back to 400, Wright fell to Mahmood on the second ball of the last over.
Fatal bowling change of the week
Twenty overs later, Wright found himself experience a range of contrasting emotions. In fact, he wore a forlorn look after conceding 16 runs in five balls as David Miller smacked two sixes to seal a thrilling seven-wicket win for Punjab with one delivery remaining. Wright, having conceded 20 off his first two overs, was entrusted with bowling the last six balls of the match from which Punjab needed 16 to win. Miller was batting on 65 off 37 balls having revived his team from 58 for 3 in the company of Mandeep Singh, and struck a wide ball from Wright over extra cover, harried between the wickets for two, and then drilled a full toss over long-off to clear the Punjab dugout.

Like every good little boy should, I love my mum.
She possesses a wacky sense of humour and is a walking encyclopaedia when it comes to general knowledge and interesting facts. Take the other day for instance, when I made my obligatory Sunday phone call.
I should point out this was not any normal Sunday. This was my birthday. And it was a big one.
I can't actually bring myself to say it. I am not particularly comfortable with the number, so I'll just say it's apparently the new 40. Got it?
Anyway, mum tells me that if I had never had a haircut from the day I was born, my hair would be something like 1.8m long today.
As I mulled over how that particular comb-over would work in my day to day life, I found myself asking about the day I was born.
I was, mum says, her golden child.
As she rattled off the details of my arrival in this world, I couldn't help but think there were a few similarities with another infant.
Mum worked for a company in the aviation industry which would later be taken over by the Virgin Group. Dad was a panelbeater.
On the day of my arrival, they packed themselves into their Morris 1100 (a donkey of a workhorse, according to my dad) and left the suburb of Kentish Town in London to travel to where a room had been arranged in a hospital. Upon arrival, they learned there was a mix-up and the only room available was an old one they hadn't used for a while.
A porter (Mr Shepherd, mum recalls) helped them set it up. Mum says it was like an old stable.
At the same time as beds etc were being wheeled in, three doctors on a break were emerging from a department store. One had bought some presents for his wife and had enlisted the help of his two mates to cart a package each back to work.
As they boarded a cab they noticed famed celebrity Sean Connery getting into one ahead of them. Like any star-struck fans, they ordered the cabbie to follow.
Amazingly, Mr Connery pulled into the building next to the hospital and the doctors were full of excitement as they ambled into their own workplace.
The sister on duty was having none of their distraction and dispatched them to the makeshift delivery room, where I was promptly born.
So, to recap. A panelbeater and a Virgin employee travelled a long way in a donkey. And three wise men bearing gifts followed a star to a stable where, along with a Shepherd, they witnessed my arrival.
Sound familiar? Spooky, I reckon. It certainly got me thinking. And the coincidences didn't stop there. I mean, earlier in the day, right out of the blue, a voice in my head told me to go and play golf.
Actually it was Mrs P. She said she didn't want me moping around the house all day and to bugger off. So I did.
I turned up at Springfield Golf Club to find a sea of male faces and just like that, out of a crowd of hundreds, I was drawn to play with three angels - Shelley, Jacky and Carol.
Unfortunately, I played rubbish. There was no divine intervention and I lost all my money.
My mum may think I'm the golden child and can do no wrong, but I think I'll need a miracle if I'm going to improve enough to win my money back.

The Berlin International Film Festival and the International Short Film Festival Clermont-Ferrand have nominated the following short films for the European Film Awards 2013. The European Film Academy (EFA) congratulates:
Berlin Short Film Nominee for the European Film Awards 2013
Directed by Chema García Ibarra
Spain 2013, fiction, 12 mins
Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Nominee for the European Film Awards 2013
Directed by Petar Valchanov & Kristina Grozeva
Bulgaria 2012, fiction, 30 mins
Misterio was chosen by the Berlinale's international short film jury consisting of Spanish director Javier Fesser, Korean documentary cinematographer Hong Hyosook as well as German art historian Susanne Pfeffer.
They say that if you put your ear to the back of his neck, you can hear the Virgin speak. Mother, father and son. The trio is heading for a crisis in which understanding is only one way of not listening to each other. As in the tradition of Spanish painting à la Velázquez, there is more to the image than meets the eye.
Clermont-Ferrand is the latest addition to the EFA short film initiative and Skok was chosen by the festival's international jury consisting of illustrator & graphic artist Chris Buzelli (USA) and directors Beryl Koltz (Luxembourg), Umesh Kulkarni (India), Reza Serkanian (Iran) and Daniela Thomas (Brazil). Their jury statement describes the film as "a wonderfully quirky yet deep and touching film about taking the big leap".
Depressed old bachelor Gosho receives an offer from his rich cousin Joro to take care of Joro's luxurious penthouse while he is abroad. For Gosho this is a chance to have some peace and quiet in luxury and richness.
The films are now nominated for the award 'European Film Academy Short Film 2013'.
The EFA short film initiative is organised by the European Film Academy in co-operation with a series of film festivals throughout Europe. At each of these festivals, an independent jury presents one of the European short films in competition with a nomination in the short film category of the European Film Awards.
When the annual cycle is completed, the nominees will be presented to the over 2,700 members of the European Film Academy and it is they who will elect the overall winner: the European Film Academy Short Film 2013 which will be presented at the 26th European Film Awards Ceremony on 7 December in Berlin.
The films join the following nominations, which have already been established:
|Ghent Short Film Nominee
As Ondas (The Waves)

Wow .2 ... could explain a lot...
Amazing! Wandering into a strangers home? Guess she won't do that again. What an idiot!!
21 feet is why i keep the bayonet on my mosin 91/30
i can darn near reach that far without moving from behind my side of the bed :blink:
....saves on bullets:scruntiny:
The young lady is lucky she failed at proving stupid kills.
Like the moron kid here in Wisconsin did. Both cases were justifiable shootings IMHO.
Just because people do stupid things and live all the time does not make it right. The kids have short memories, and no lesson will be learned. Young people like to have fun, and fail to realize that their actions have consequences.
Exactly what should be done, of course. Though, where "law" is concerned it can be Wonderland, particularly if the DA doesn't have his/her head screwed on properly and instead believes that the last one standing is guilty of harming others (despite facts). We'll see.Quote:
Report: ... They don't plan to file charges against Justice — Colorado law allows residents to use deadly force against trespassers who intend to use force.
Continuing to advance despite loud commands to halt, particularly inside one's own home, can (and should, IMO) be the equivalent of "intent" to harm. Hard to see it any other way, if you're on the receiving end of a home invasion at 3am.
Perhaps now our soused little player will wake up to the simple realities of this world. Though, common sense ain't what it used to be. Perhaps the homeowners realize that locking the doors and windows can go a long way toward avoiding some ugly situations. Sad deal, all the way around.
I'm personally a bit surprised that anyone even owns a gun in Boulder, sounds like our tipsy nightwalker was too.
According to the story it was dark they saw a silhouette it kept coming so they couldn't tell if she was armed with a knife or a gun or a Nerf Bat and shot in her direction.
This is why it's been suggested time after time to have a light either on your HD weapon,or with it so you can illuminate a potential threat,there have been cases where people have shot Spouses that had gotten out of bed and they thought were intruders,but then again thats the story they gave and they couldn't prove in most cases it was intentional as far as a premeditated event
"They don't plan to file charges against Justice — Colorado law allows residents to use deadly force against trespassers who intend to use force."
I don't like the verbiage of the above quote from the article. How are you supposed to gauge "the intent to use force" at 3:30am in the dark? A good defense attorney may likely try and sue the homeowners, sighting the woman was no threat and had no intent to use force.
You only have to believe there is intent to cause harm.

Chairman Punstou, orf House Committee on submitted a report yester- day recommending the passage of the Butterworth bill to prevent dealing in options and futures, by imposing special tax00 on dealers in thorn. The report s signed by the full committee. The report states that the bill is intended to apply to that class of transactions con- ducted in the bucket shops and grain >its of the country known as "puts and including the whole range of mere speculative gambling In fictitious !arm products. "It does not affect in- says the report, "any legit- mate trade or dealer in farm staples.

"The bill which in terms trans- actions for future delivery which are in- nocent in themselves and do no harm to anyone, is yet intended to reach that class of speculators who sell what they do not own; who sell with no purpose or or deliver what they sell; who require little capital or stock in trade and yet who sell in the bucket shops and pits of the United States every thirty days more wheat than is grown in the whole world in, one year; thus in a great measure de- stroying legitimate trade and driving merchants and traders engaged therein from the field and forcing the prica ol farm products below the cost of produc- tion, rendering the calling of the farmer unprofitable and degrading toil." The committee offers an amendment to the bill providing act shall not apply to any contracts or agree- ments for the future delivery of any of the articles mentioned in tho bill, ma.lc with t'je United States or any State, county or municipality, nor to the con- tracts or agreements made by farmers for thj sale and delivery of any of these articles in actual course of production by farmers at the time of making tb e contract. The committee adds that it has no doubt of the constitutionality of the measure. A FIEKCE BLAZE. Nine Dvelllnin and Two of a Ttir ing Association Burned. LEXTNGTOX, Ky., April 9. At o'clock last night a row of frame build- ings adjoining the Kentucky Associa- tion's grounds took fire. The wind blew a gale, carrying the sparks to the stables of the association, setting them on fire. They were full of horses, but by the heroic work of the stable bands all tho racers were saved. Nine frame houses and two stables were consumed. The greatest confusion prevailed. Horses worth fortunes dashed through the streets or jumped high fences in their wild flight across country. Loss on houses 54.500: on stables about Sl.GOO; insurance not known. The loss on the race horses will not be known for sev- eral days. The association had just built two new stables to accommodate the many horses that will be here to race at the coming spring meeting. An effort will be made, however, to rebuild at once those burned.

He entered into conspiracy with Cnarles H. Lane, a New York broker, to make it appear that be (Marsh) was speculating heavily in stocks. Marsh then bought up as much on credit as he possibly could, stored it in the warehouses and borrowed money on tbe receipts. In this way he got to- gether about This was placed in Lane's bands to be held for Marsh until after the failure of the firm. For his services Lane was to get When the failure of the firm was nounced Marsh confessed to tbe cred- itors that he bad been specu- lating in stocks and showed re- ceipts from Lane to prove his assertion. While this was being inves- tigated Lane took all of the S150.- 000 and left the country. Marsh fol- lowed him to Europe, but was unable to find him. In the meantime the credi- tors of the firm put detectives on Lane's track and it is understood they found him and induced him to give up 000.

Bound for the Boardroom: Learn Today How You Can Know the Difference to Make a Difference
€ 20,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
April 2006
BeschreibungIn her comfortable, conversational and easy-to-read style, Barbara B. Bergstrom points the way for the savvy business person to reach the ultimate goal. Her sense of humor peppered throughout this book brings about the perfect route to understanding just what it takes for aspiring executives to gain a seat in the boardroom. This guide has everything from non-gender contemporary business protocol (unlike the social graces you were taught at home) to the dining skills needed to navigate the executive dining room. "A business lunch is not about eating," says Bergstrom, an etiquette specialist and trainer. "Even what you wear says much about your executive presence in the United States and abroad." Professionalism is a vital component to business success, whether you're participating in a business meeting, conversing on the phone, giving a speech or presentation, or shaking someone's hand. You must learn the rules of the game of business and play the game better than your competition in order to win. In the highly competitive arena of business, management equates good manners with competence and poor manners with incompetence, even during the interview process for entry-level positions. If you are bound for the boardroom, you need to create a desire for customers, clients and business associates to want to do business with you based on mutual respect and civility. Without knowing and practicing the steps carefully outlined for you in Bound for the Boardroom you will find the boardroom door is closed to you and the key thrown away. Welcome to the "real world," where you just never know what others know and you don't.

chevy small block 305
I just bought a fully restored 1977 gmc 1500. the body and interior are in great shape and the motor has a fairly recent rebuild. it has a 305 chevy small block and i am wondering what i can do to up the power in it and the price each upgrade will roughly cost. I would appreciate if you don't post about how the 305 is a waste of time and money and to buy a 350, i like the engine and am interested in adding power to the engine. So far i have looked at a stroker kit (making it a 335), new cams, vortec RSH 1.94 heads, edelbrock 650 carb, holley 300-36 intake, and cat back exhaust. will this be a good setup or should i add or lose anything to it. i am also looking at adding 3.73 rear gears to it. just wondering what someone with a little more knowledge thinks of this and also what cams would be a good choice. thanks

Avoiding Credit Repair Scams
A piece of spam landed in my mailbox this morning. "Want a better credit rating?" the subject line asked. "Don't let a poor credit score ruin your future," it urged me. "Let our credit repair specialists take care of your credit rating so you can enjoy your financial future."
If you're up to your eyeballs in debt and getting a lot of calls from collection agencies, such an offer may have some appeal. What's not to like about the idea that a company can erase your bad credit and give you a new credit identity? But if it sounds too good to be true, that because it is.
Every day, companies pitch their services to people with poor credit scores. But here's the catch: Some credit-repair companies are promising you the impossible. Or they may be taking your hard-earned money to perform simple services that you could do yourself. Worst case, they may encourage you to commit fraud. In any event, credit-repair assistance may only worsen your financial situation by wasting your time and putting you further behind on your debts.
If you decide to look into a credit-repair offer, look for the following warning signs offered by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC):
- The company wants you to pay before any services are provided
- They don't tell you your legal rights and what you can do by yourself for free
- They recommend that you not contact a credit bureau directly
- They suggest you invent a new credit identity by applying for an Employer Identification Number to use instead of your Social Security number
- They advise you to dispute all information in your credit report or do something else that seems illegal
Legally, credit-repair companies can help you review your credit reports and remove erroneous information that may be dragging down your credit score. For example, perhaps your report shows information that is wrong or misleading. Maybe it even shows someone else's bad credit information. By law, after credit bureaus are notified of mistakes, they have to work with the companies that provided the incorrect data to either confirm its accuracy or remove it from your report. Removing the bad information may raise your credit score.
But there's no reason to hire a company to dispute the information for you. You can call the credit bureaus and dispute the errors yourself. I've done it. It took me less than an hour to dispute the information with all three credit bureaus, then review the corrected reports about a month later.
Less ethical credit-repair companies may offer illegal advice that could land you in hot water with law-enforcement agencies. For example, it's a federal crime to lie on a loan or credit application, to misrepresent your Social Security number or to obtain an Employer Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service under false pretenses.
Credit Repair Organizations Act
Under the Credit Repair Organizations Act, credit-repair companies cannot make false claims about their services, require you to pay until they have completed the services they have promised or perform any services until they have your signature on a written contract and have completed a three-day waiting period. During that time, you can cancel the contract without paying their fees.
Any contract you sign with a credit repair company must include:
- The payment terms for services (including the total cost)
- A detailed description of all services to be performed
- How long it should take to get results
- Any guarantees
- The company's name and business address
What You Can Do
Everything a credit-repair company can do for you legally, you can do for yourself at little or no cost. You may do the following:
- Dispute mistakes or outdated items for free.
- Receive a free report if a company takes adverse action against you, like denying your application for credit, insurance or employment, and you ask for your report within 60 days of receiving notice of the action.
- Receive one free report a year if you're unemployed and plan to look for a job within 60 days; if you're on welfare; or if your report is inaccurate because of fraud, including identity theft.
- Request and receive a free copy of your credit report once every 12 months from each of the nationwide consumer reporting companies – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. The three companies have set up a central website (annualcreditreport.com), a toll-free telephone number (1-877-322-8228), and a mailing address (Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281) through which you can order your free annual report. If you opt to request a free copy of your credit report via mail then you will need to complete the Annual Credit Report Request Form, which can be printed from the FTC Web site.

Every Tuesday, we'll feature the best travel bargain we've seen all week right here, on our blog. Be the first to find out which deals make the cut by subscribing to our blog or signing up for our weekly deals newsletter.
The Deal: There are lots of super holiday gifts one can bestow on globetrotters, from travel gift cards to pet suitcases. Still, we wish we could whip out our credit cards and reserve a flight to an exciting destination for a special person or two on our lists — but we can't. Or, at least, we can't without stealing our loved one's passport and requesting vacation days from his or her boss. All in all, it's a bit rash to buy a flight for someone without any word of warning.
That's not the case any longer. Aer Lingus has waived the name and itinerary change fees for flights booked by tomorrow, December 14. Purchase a flight from Boston, Chicago or New York to select European destinations, and you'll have the option to make one change to the name on the ticket as well one change to the ticketed travel dates through the end of January. Tickets are valid for travel from January 1 through March 31, 2012.
It's a fabulous gift idea: Present Mom with a flight to Paris, and let her pick her own travel dates! This deal is perfect for the holidays, but it's also an excellent option for travelers who want to plan a European winter getaway but aren't ready to commit to a set itinerary just yet.
The Catch: As we said, you may only make one change to the ticketholder's name and one change to the travel dates for the flight. Further changes will incur a $210 fee each way. Additionally, if you change your dates and end up with a more expensive ticket than the one you originally purchased, you'll have to pay the difference in fares.
The Competition: We haven't seen another deal quite like this. But the next best thing is a travel gift card. Don't miss this roundup of our favorite travel gift card deals.

Putting at rest all speculations and controversies over possible discontinuation of prohibition of liquor in the state, the Nagaland government on Tuesday clarified that no decision was taken yet to lift the existing ban since there was no consensus on the issue.
Excise minister M C Konyak informed the members on the opening day of the budget session that the government had only held "an informal consultation" with leaders of political parties, NGOs and civil society organizations on July 1 on the prohibition act where diverse views were expressed by the participants on the issue, but no conclusion was arrived at.
He clarified that since there was no consensus on the issue, the government at this stage cannot lift the prohibition, which has been in effect in Nagaland since 1989.
The minister, however, admitted that due to several factors coupled with shortage of manpower in the excise department the ban has not been a complete success in the state which borders Assam where the liquor is not banned and easily available.
During the question hour, Congress MLA Hewoto Awomi asked the government to clarify its stand on the matter in view of strong protests from Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) and women organizations against possible lifting of the ban following the July 1 consultation.
Of late, there was demand from certain quarters, including political parties, in favour of lifting the prohibition, arguing that such bans were never been successful in any part of the country and the state was only losing huge revenue, but the churches were opposing any such move.

It's simple. If you stay within the Indiana state lines, you are an intrastate carrier.
This means you NEVER cross state lines, not even for a second.
But if you are keeping yourself, your truck, your freight, and/or your passengers within the state lines, you will still need to obtain an Intrastate USDOT/Indiana ID Number.
You will also need to learn about registering for MCFT, which we will discuss in the next section. You will find out more about Passenger/Household Goods Requirements and whether those will apply to you.

Polymer Handbook, 4th ed. J. Brandrup, E. H. Immergut and E. A. Grulke, eds. 769 pp. John Wiley and Sons, 1999. $350.
There is not a polymer scientist alive, I wager, who has not at one point or another had to refer to the Polymer Handbook. This venerable compendium of polymer-related information, now in its fourth edition and its fourth decade, is absolutely indispensable to anyone with a serious interest in polymer chemistry and physics. The compilers of this enormous mountain of polymer data have brought on board some new editors and associate editors, and the results of their labors are laudable.
The stated focus of the book is on the fundamental properties of polymers, not applied information such as polymer processing, polymer manufacture and polymer engineering data. I would hasten to add that this volume will also be of great utility to industrial polymer scientists, as the previous editions certainly were, because it contains much information on commercial plastics. In fact, an entire section of the book lists the physical constants of the most important commodity plastics and of cellulose, the most abundant polymer on the planet. Nearly one-fifth of the contributors to this book are industrial personnel, and their input is a much-valued addition to the data in this compilation.
Those needing to look up polymer information know that the nomenclature of polymers can be an enormous hurdle to finding information. Even a simple substance such as –(–CH2CH2O–)x– can be called variously poly(ethylene oxide), poly(ethylene glycol) or perhaps even poly(oxirane), where the phrase in parentheses refers to the monomer from which the polymer is synthesized. The nomenclature of polymers in the Handbook has been systematized as in previous editions, which can take some getting used to. The Handbook lists the polymer mentioned above, for example, as poly(oxyethylene). The common plastic nylon 6,6 is called polyamide 6,6, and other polymers' names are also likely to be altered. Once mastered, the nomenclature ceases to be an impediment to the use of the Handbook.
The Handbook purports to contain revisions focused on data generated in roughly the past decade, but there are some notable oversights. The burgeoning area of conducting polymers is given short shrift, as are gradient polymers. However, other recent areas of research such as dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers are covered well. Polymers of biological importance such as poly(amino acids) and oligopeptides are likewise given suitable attention. Notwithstanding the minor faults listed here, the new edition of the Polymer Handbook is a monumental work that will certainly be of great help to all polymer scientists for years to come. I consider this volume a necessary reference text for anyone working with polymers, and I strongly recommend it to science librarians everywhere.—Tim Royappa, Chemistry, University of West Florida

I got a free desk from my brother, this thing is biiig.
also horrible quality and light but it's the best I can do with a broken camera
Fixed that issue.
Remember how I cleared out that entire civilization of crumbs and shit out of my keyboard?
Colonists have arrived!
You seem like a fucking disgusting person.
I try to eat away from the keyboard, but it just seems to get dirty anyway
They don't get hot and cook bacon like the monitors, so I don't clean them nearly as much.
Do you guys eat on your keyboard? I guess I have a big desk but I have my keyboard like 12 inches from the edge of my desk, so I could have like an entire rack of ribs infront of me lol.
Also I've been up since 4 finishing this paper. It's 7:25 now.
I eat in front of my desk then wipe my hands before I touch my keyboard. They only thing in my keyboard is dust, dead skin, and hair.
Now that I have a wireless keyboard, it never gets dirty.
Just take it away from the desk and shake.
Nooo. Make soup from it.
you just made me gag
I guess thats the way of someone who went cold turkey on junk food several years ago.
College desks have keyboard trays, so I just push it in whenever I eat at my desk.
edit: Oh and after I eat/do stuff that can get my hands a bit grease, I just wash my hands and use some antibacterial gel, and all my keyboards have stayed as nice as day one.
Don't forget the occasional turn over and shake vigorously aswell.
Dat keyboard.
Wish they made one like the G15 and backlit, but also if they made one that had custom keys for editing : \
Would you believe me if I told you it's possible to have it ~all~
edit: well i guess except back lighting, but who needs that when you can touch type
How'd you get your login window to look like that?
Or was it like that by default?
I have a G53SW.

GAINESVILLE, Fla.
December 31, 2000
Gainesville-based Micro Timer and Controls Inc. announces it has received a 25-year co-exclusive agreement with NASA for "Fire Inspection Software." The software, originally named RD-40, was developed for use at Kennedy Space Center by NASA employees to keep a database and tracking system for fire inspection for all of Kennedy Space Center.
"I believe if this software package can cover all of Kennedy Space Center and meet the needs of NASA, then it ought to be good enough for the rest of corporate America," says Dan Hargrove, owner of Micro Timer and Controls. As part of the technology transfer of intelligent property to the private sector, NASA receives a 5-percent royalty on both the sales and service of the software. Micro Timer and Controls can modify any part of the program, add additional features, translate it into any language and export it to any country in the world. "This deal reminds me of my first course in salesmanship more than 25 years ago. The bigger the order, the longer it takes," adds Hargrove. "We started talks in October 1999, got a written legal agreement in June 2000 and finally got the software today. This will change the course of our company." The software was developed using Visual Basic and runs under Windows(tm) 95/98 and NT.

Even Dick Ryan indulges in a little Internet shopping now and then.
"It's pretty hard to get parts for my DeLorean (automobile) in Steamboat," he said.
Ryan, who owns Off the Beaten Path Bookstore with his wife, Leslie, operates in the middle of what he describes as a revolution in retailing. Internet shopping is changing retailing and consumerism. It's never more apparent than at the holidays, and the book-selling business has been affected dramatically. As chairman of Main Street Steamboat's promotions committee, Ryan is pretty sensitive to shopping downtown Steamboat first.
"We buy office supplies from Pilot Office and so on down the line," Ryan said. "Price is usually not our deciding factor. I know that sounds elitist."
Still, when his exotic 1983 gull-winged DeLorean refuses to take off, most often he goes online to a warehouse in Humble, Texas, where he can track down the parts he needs.
Amazonian competition
Amazon.com broke open the online book-selling trend and dented the fenders of independent bookstores like the Ryans' all over America. This week, Amazon was e-mailing customers with more creative ways to rack up holiday Internet sales. At Amazon's new "gift central," gift ideas from 40 glossy magazines are compiled with convenient shopping links to allow instant gratification. Amazon also has joined forces with DailyCandy, the clever new e-commerce site that emphasizes cultural opportunities in major American cities while taking a soft-sell approach to merchandising.
Ryan said his business responded to the Internet challenge by diversifying. Off the Beaten Path's cafe brings in another revenue stream and also brings in customers who might not have otherwise visited the store. Often, they spontaneously purchase a book. In addition, Off the Beaten Path has expanded its line of gift items, which are typically sold at higher margins than books. They also offer the advantage of not having a fixed price printed on them the way book jackets do.
Main Street vs. Cyberspace
Main Street Steamboat, the nonprofit that is working to strengthen downtown Steamboat's commercial district, is urging people to shop locally first this holiday season.
Executive Director Tracey Bar--nett said Main Street surveyed local shoppers earlier this year and learned there was a strong perception that downtown Steamboat does not offer enough variety, and that merchandise is more expensive than people with modest incomes can afford.
Barnett said the goal is to invite Yampa Valley shoppers into independent retailers to discover that most of the things they want and need are in stock, and that prices are closer to Internet prices than most shoppers think, or in many cases equivalent to the prices of mass merchandisers.
"The perception among some locals is that they should not waste the time looking downtown when they can find what they are looking for on the Internet or in Denver or Grand Junction," Barnett said. "The thing they seem to overlook is the cost of shipping and the high cost of gas for driving long distances.
"If those items are taken into account, there is very little that they can't get here for a similar price."
Barnett said shopping locally pumps money into the local economy.
"The circulation of money within our community is benefited by buying locally," she said. "Local merchants most often circulate their money throughout the community about four times, using local services such as accountants, supplies and advertising.
"If our local money leaves the valley, this circulation of money is diminished. It is a loss for all of us."
Adapt and overcome
How do independent Steamboat retailers adapt to the revolution in Internet shopping? Some, such as Jenny Wilson at Moose Mountain Trading Company, Will and Beth Bashan at Steamboat Art Company and Steve Kennedy at the Homesteader kitchen shop, have embraced e-commerce whole--heartedly.
"We've been averaging four to five Internet sales a day," Kennedy said. "I don't think it offsets the growing number of people shopping online. But I'm reaching customers who have never ever been in our store."
Kennedy said he was surprised this week by a customer in a different state who searched for and found a "Brazil on My Mind" pizza stone at his Internet shop. The consumer received a flat $5 shipping charge and did not have to pay sales tax in his home state.
Bashan said he comes in some mornings to find a $1,000 Internet sale. And Wilson said she made an $800 sale this week of a Norwegian Oleana sweater that is so exclusive in Colorado that they retail only in her shop and Gorsuch in Vail.
"That was like a yee-haw on a day when it's snowing outside and there aren't as many people in the shop," Wilson said.
Web site management
But not every morning is like that, and maintaining an e-commerce site is hard work, Bashan and Wilson agreed.
"It takes quite a bit of time to deal with it," Wilson said. "It's a lot of hard work and it is expensive.
"Our Web site is a good addition. It allows me to stock more merchandise in my store, but it's a fraction of our sales at this time. We think it has tremendous potential."
Bashan said maintaining his e-commerce site became far easier when he acquired a piece of software that links his point-of-purchase inventory tracking with the 400 items on the Web page. Now, if his staff sells the last of a certain item from the Lincoln Avenue store, the software automatically posts an alert to the Web page. A visible alert informs consumers the item is temporarily out of stock and invites them to call a toll-free number to get an estimated delivery date.
"We don't have a business that lends itself incredibly well to the Internet in some ways," Bashan said.
Bashan isn't selling commodities but unusual handcrafted gifts.
"We have to generate our own traffic," Bashan said. "But for us, the Web does a few things. It allows us to keep in touch with all our clients. They go home and remember something they looked at in the store. They go to the Web, and when they don't find it, they call us."
Bashan said if he had to value his e-commerce site strictly on sales, it might be a losing proposition, but as a promotional tool, he finds it very valuable. His customers come from across the nation and the world. He has built a mailing list of thousands of customer who have asked to receive an e-mail newsletter and drives customers to his online merchandise.
Among a town's assets
Wilson said she wants her local customers to know that independent retail shops are an asset to the community that is worth supporting.
"It's a legitimately hard job that takes creativity, and frankly, backbone to face the competition of the Internet," Wilson said.
Bashan, who purchased a new headlamp from Backdoor Sports on Thursday for cross-country skiing at night, said he understands that online shopping will continue to grow. He has lived in major cities where people who lived five minutes from the nearest shopping mall still shopped on the Internet.
"We've undergone a paradigm shift in retailing," he said. "I think it's a fact of life. Online shopping offers variety and convenience.
"It doesn't offer a lot of the things you get in a downtown environment."
Ryan said area retailers will continue to adapt while working to strengthen their relationships with their customers.
"What we retailers can do is keep re-inventing ourselves and offering the kind of service you can only get one on one across the counter," Ryan said.

Wow, love the quilt. Your binding is perfect. Nice work.
sweet looks great. love it.
Beautiful quilt and lovely quilting.
Good job on the quilt and the quilting.
I absolutely love your machine binding. It's so perfect! So exact! I want to be able to do that. And WOW on the quilt. I love your blocks. They are gorgeous. They look pretty straight forward.
Thanks everyone for the comments. We used a store-bought binding on the last quilt we worked on and it was a triple fold wide binding. We really liked it and decided we wanted to try to make our own. This was our first attempt and I must say we were very pleased with how it turned out. We will definitely do that again - we both like the wide binding. It was only a bit more trouble than a regular double fold binding, but so worth it.
The border looks like a stained glass! They should love it!
Love it! May have to try that one. Thanks for sharing.
Looks wonderful! :)


text: I can relate what I have found. I didn't pick this gun up and start point shooting it well right off. I'm getting close to 1000 rounds out of it now and I can point shoot it pretty well, good enough to stake my life on it. It has caused me problems in that I short stroke the reset on my 1911 after I get tired and am shooting the Glock and several other handguns for several hours. I had never shortstroked a trigger in my life before this. As for carrying the little Glock. WOW it's a dream. Recoil. I don't think it is bad at all. You will want a rubber grip as the backstrap is very rough and will make your hand burn a little after 150 or 200 quick rounds. The recoil is a quick little snap not a kick. I like the extention that I got to cover a G23 magazine to convert the grip to a longer surface. I have never just shot the gun with it on alone to see if the palm "burn" does not happen. Anything I didn't cover? Oh yes, I have not shot defensive rounds in the dark as of yet to see how much flash I get. I have Corbons for carry and will try them at night next week as I will be some place that I can do that without concern to disturbing folks.

Benefits of the sauna?
So basically, at my gym, theres a sauna, and everyday i contemplate going in there and sweat, but does this actuslly hrlp in losing fat? I see it as a butter melting type of thing, and no im not doing this as a replacement for cardio, cuz lets not forget im at the gym to work out not to go to the sauna. But anyways i thought you guys might be able to give me some info on this just so i know
Using the sauna is just a way to eliminate whatever water weight may be inside of your body.
That's why you see fighters hit up the sauna right before they weigh-in. Even though they've barely eaten or drinken anything over the past 10 days, they cut whatever may be left in there.
A sauna serves many purposes... one is to help you drop water weight... there are many others.
Some people just like to sweat... yeah, its wierd, but yeah... they feel it helps them relax or cleans them of the toxins by flushing them out thru their pores... sure, whatever cranks your crane.
IMHO, its more recreational but can be functional... if it helps an athlete wind down/relax after a crazy workout, great... so would a dip in the jacuzzi hot tub.
On the other hand, IMHO, a dip into an ice bath would be more functional for cardio recovery... but a tad bit less enjoyable ;)
Through Sauna bath we can get many benefit of our healthy health. Sauna will opens the pores on skin and helps body to remove toxins and other impurities from within the body and blood.The circulation actually shunts blood away from the internal organs.People experience freshness in mood and health for longer time once they take sauna bath.
Sauna bath causes sweating & helps in opening skin pores. As we sweat more during sauna bath, it helps in excretion of body toxins and other impurities from the blood.Regular use of the sauna gradually restores the skin's elimination ability.The sauna benefits are numerous.
Thanks for interested like sauna.The benefits of having a sauna are many and varied. One benefit which is not really obvious or talked about is that when your raise your body temperature in the sauna your heart naturally gets faster.sauna benefits
The combination of a hot sauna and cold shower is good for muscle recovery, so it would indirectly be beneficial for fat loss because you recover faster and thus can train more often.
Improved endurance can occur from regular use of the sauna after exercise. The researchers speculated that improved endurance resulted from an increase in blood volume from prolonged heat exposure. Saunas are commonly found at gyms and health clubs. Members of the gym are invited by the staff to relax in the sauna after exercise. There is some evidence available that indicates a sauna may have health benefits. However, people with medical conditions should not use a sauna without first speaking with a doctor. I swear me no plagiarize or spam you site amigos.
Sauna has many health benefits. Sauna is best thing in problem of chest congestion. It helps you to revives tired body.
There are many benefits of sauna. It helps you to clean your pores. It decreases our blood pressure. It increases plasma volume.
