The time has come. 7 months of training, preparation, sacrifice, excitement, anticipation and blog writing come to a head this weekend. Everything that can be done is done (hopefully!). It's time for Rich & Jason to grab the challenge of a lifetime by the scruff of the neck and go all in to take on the World's biggest free-standing mountain. Will team SR Timber come out victorious in this titanic battle?
So amidst that Braveheart-esque, film trailer introduction, I trust you've deduced that this weekend, the guys embark on their journey to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. As I'm sure you've noticed in the blogs we've brought to you every other Friday since February, it's been quite a journey so far – and that's before the main event even begins!
We've seen how Rambo Rich has taken Jason under his experienced wing and guided him through a challenge alien to him. Although many of the fears are still prevalent (Rich fears Jason's snoring and Jason fears man-eating mammals), from skipping the lift occasionally to use the stairs at the Holiday Inn, to summiting Mount Snowdon with ease – in just a few months – is quite a turnaround. Extrapolate that progress by another 3 months and Jason is feeling strong and ready.
From the initial blog where we introduced Rich & Jason, to documenting their trials and tribulations through the months of training we hope you've grown an affiliation with the guys and their efforts to complete this gallant challenge. The aim has always been to raise as much money for the British Heart Foundation as possible, which will be a driving factor in the guys' climb. So please donate anything you can by clicking the 'Sponsor me' link below or texting GOSR89 £5 (or however much you want to donate) to 70070.
There is only one more thing for us to say, and that is a huge, monumental good luck to Rich & Jason as they start their adventure! As we've learned more about what is actually in store for them, our admiration for even taking it on has grown and grown. Whatever happens, everyone at SR Timber is rooting for you and so proud of you!
We'll see you on the other side!

Effective And Simple Fitness Strategies Anyone Can Use
Fitness is important not just to make you look good! Other important elements are your quality of life — and how long you live. You need to get into the mindset where you are able to make adjustments in order to tend to yourself for the rest of your life. These helpful fitness tips will help you get on the right track towards a healthy lifestyle.
One way to stay healthy and fit when working out is to do all that you can to prevent neck injury. Never exert yourself without proper guidance and knowledge. Always use proper form when performing any type of strength building exercise. Be sure to stretch your neck properly before and after the workout.
If you want to get in shape using yoga, do your yoga stretches and poses on a hard surface. Practicing on a soft floor can lead to joint injuries and can throw off your balance, which will reduce the effectiveness of your yoga routine. In a reverse of the common practice, you can place a hard, smooth material onto a soft carpet to create the ideal yoga surface.
When developing a fitness routine the savvy exercise enthusiast will not rely on any one form of exercise. Building a regimen with diverse forms of exercise will not only prevent tedium, it will also make it easier to keep working out. Injury, equipment failure or other negative circumstances will have less effect on an overall routine if it includes many forms of exercise.
A great way to get fit is to consult with a professional bodybuilder. A lot of bodybuilders have their own web sites where they offer a service that gives you the opportunity to pay to have your own consultation with them. You can get their experienced advice on your diet and workout routine.
When working out, is it important that you drink plenty of water. Drinking water while working out will maintain proper hydration, which is vital during any heavy exercising. Being hydrated will help you to work out harder and you will be able to exercise for a longer period of time. Always keep a water bottle with you and just keep drinking!
Varying your exercise routine can help keep you engaged and give you better results. It's easy to become bored when you're doing the same workout every single day, and that means you won't see the results you want. Mix up your exercises and do something a little different each day to keep yourself focused.
Think outside the box when it comes to your weight loss and fitness goals. Instead of doing the same boring things like running, walking, push ups, etc. try something fun. Why not take a dance class? There are tons of fun classes you can take that will whip you into shape.
Continue to search for other ways of improving your fitness level to achieve the positive benefits of having a fit body. Use the advice from this article in order to enhance your ability to get fit to levels you had never dreamed of before.

- Author BiographyJoan Lambert has worked closely with Microsoft technologies since 1986, and in the training and certification industry since 1997. As President and CEO of Online Training Solutions, Inc. (OTSI), Joan guides the translation of technical information and requirements into useful, relevant, and measurable resources for people who are seeking certification of their computer skills or who simply want to get things done efficiently. Joan is the author or coauthor of more than three dozen books about Windows and Office (for Windows, Mac, and iPad), video-based training courses for SharePoint and OneNote, and three generations of Microsoft Office Specialist certification study guides. She provides certification development consulting services to software companies, universities, and certification vendors, and enjoys communicating about the benefits of technology at onsite training events. Joan is a Microsoft Certified Professional, Microsoft Office Specialist Master (for all Office versions since Office 2007), Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (for Windows and Windows Server), Microsoft Certified Technology Associate (for Windows), Microsoft Dynamics Specialist, and Microsoft Certified Trainer. Joan currently lives in a small town in Texas with her simply divine daughter, Trinity; an ever-growing menagerie of dogs, cats, and fish (and the occasional frog, lizard, or vole); and the DeLonghi Gran Dama super-automatic espresso machine that runs the house. Joan's first publishing collaboration with her father, Steve, was the inclusion of her depiction of Robots in Love in one of his earliest books, Presentation Graphics on the Apple Macintosh. Steve Lambert started playing with computers in the mid-1970s. As computers evolved from wire-wrap and solder to consumer products, he evolved from hardware geek to programmer and writer. Steve has written or co-written more than 20 books on developing technologies, including Presentation Graphics on the Apple Macintosh, Creative Programming in Microsoft Basic, the CD-ROM The New Papyrus, and Internet Basics: Your Online Access to the Global Electronic Superhighway. Steve is also the author of Built by Anhalt, a biographical exploration into the life and architecture of the famed Seattle architect Fred Anhalt. Steve has specialized for many years in the conversion of content from one format to another, including projects such as the Microsoft Programmer's Library in 1988 and the conversion of the 25-volume Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia for the initial Microsoft Encarta CD-ROM. He has created several content authoring and delivery systems, including those used by the Microsoft Mastering Series, the Quick Course Series, and numerous pubStudio titles that are published by Microsoft and several US government agencies. He is a strong advocate of good template design and of using Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) automation to smooth out the conversion, assembly, formatting, and validation of content for delivery via print, ebook, or web.

Kid casually spat out some gum on the bus then put more in his mouth.
Was going to say something but felt awkward.
Might say something.
I take a picture. A guy is sat opposite me but I don't care. I'm annoyed.
He just spat out more.
I should say something.
I take another picture. The guy opposite me knows I am taking a picture. I'm not showing the boys face though.
I hate people who litter, but spitting out your gum on the bus? That's another level.
I should say something when I get off the bus.
I get scared and don't.

I can't speak regarding Mourdock because I don't know the details. With regard to Akin, it's hard to argue that Akin was wrong when he almost immediately apologized for his own comments — but that's not the same as saying that Akin's views on abortion were wrong. Saying dumb things is not the same as being wrong on the underlying issue of defending babies' lives.
My problem with the GOP is that you don't attack your own team, unless you're damn sure you have a replacement that can win...otherwise you stick with them, and go to war with the army you have.
I wish someone would turn the tables on this subject for once and say something like: I realize from your line of questioning that you are pro-abortion.... you know very well that I am against abortion.... but I am not a hardliner and I am willing to compromise.... How about if I agree to vote for the post-uteral abortion of the rapist.... would that help you feel better about my candidacy?

text: I have a question regarding pre-pros and receivers when playing 5.1 material over a 7.1 speaker system. On THX Select or THX EX systems, the product manuals state that you can force the EX mode, but the results depend on the material, and may not be desirable. On THX Ultra2 systems, the Ultra2 Cinema Mode says that it monitors the rear channels and spreads the sound around the 4 rear speakers in an appropriate manner, avoiding the problem described above. On non-THX systems, like Outlaw, or Rotel, they have Cirrus Extra Surround, or Rotel XS mode to pump the 5.1 track through the 7.1 system. I guess my question is how good are these modes? I haven't heard any of them, but I have to say, THX Select (or regular EX) sounds like a bad compromise (i.e. your brand new 7.1 system might not sound so hot on 5.1 soundtracks). THX Ultra2 appears to be a great solution (albeit rare and pricey). How do people like their THX Select/EX systems? Do they notice problems when playing 5.1 (i.e. non EX-encoded) soundtracks? How do modes like Cirrus or Rotel XS sound? Good? Adequate? Fantastic? I'd hate to spend the money upgrading my 5.1 system to 7.1 only to find that it's a waste except for when playing true encoded EX/ES soundtracks.

Child Custody Cases Attorney in San Jose, California
Child custody refers to the legal guardianship involved in a divorce case. In California and most other states, there are two forms of custody, legal and physical.
- Legal custody refers to the childs lifestyle. Religious, medical, and educational decisions are made by the legal custodian(s). Legal custody can be granted to one or both parents.
- Physical custody refers to where the child lives. One parent may have sole physical custody, and the other may have visitation rights. Or, both parents may have physical custody, which means the child lives with each parent half of the time.
If a parent has visitation rights, the visits between parent and child occur on a schedule provided by the court. Usually this schedule is mutually convenient for both parents.
The Best Interest of the Child: Child Custody Court Decisions in San Jose, California
When a child custody case is brought to the court, the court will try to accommodate the best interest of the child and choose the environment that offers the most stability. Some factors courts will take into consideration in a child custody case are:
- The child's age, sex, and mental and physical health
- The parent's mental and physical health
- The parent's lifestyle
- Any history of child abuse
- The emotional bond between the parent and child
- The parent's ability to provide the child with food, shelter, clothing, and medical care
- The child's regular routine
- The quality of the child's education
- The child's preference, if the child is above a certain age (this is usually around age 12)
- The ability and willingness of the parent to encourage communication and contact between the child and the other parent
The court may also conduct a Child Custody Evaluation. An evaluation usually consists of interviews, psychological exams, and analysis of the children, and perhaps the parents.
- The court has the ability to deny a parents request for an evaluation.
- Parents may be liable for the cost of the evaluation.
Our experienced team of attorneys knows how contentious child custody cases can be. We also know that the best solution is usually a decision that is agreed upon by both parents and the child. By providing you with up to date legal knowledge and the best advice possible, your lawyer at our firm can make the custody decisions much easier for you and your family to make.
