Background Study:
After spending forty days in the wilderness after his baptism, Jesus returned to the area around the Jordan River. John the Baptist was still in the area preaching and many people had become his disciples, or pupils, of John. Disciples liked to spend lots of time with their teacher because they wanted to be like the teacher.
John the Baptist was not concerned about his own popularity. He wanted the people he taught to follow Jesus. John pointed Andrew and Peter to Jesus. They began to follow him but might have gone back to fishing for a while before it was time to begin travelling with Jesus.
Andrew and Simon were the first disciples called by Jesus. Andrew heard about Jesus first and then went to get his brother, Simon (John 1:40-41). They were fishermen. Simon was already known by the name "Peter" which was a Greek name. Jesus tells him that he will be known as "Cephas" which is the Aramaic translation of Peter and means "rock". This will have more meaning later when Jesus uses Peter's name to teach a lesson about the kingdom (Matthew 16:18). Peter is mentioned in the Gospels and Acts more than any other apostle. He preached the first Gospel Sermon (Acts 2) and wrote two New Testament books.
The disciples must have had very tender hearts to follow Jesus so quickly. They immediately left their careers (fishermen, tax collector, etc.) to travel with Jesus. It was not their education or talent that made them special – it was their commitment to Jesus.
All followers of Jesus who try to be like him are his disciples in the general sense (including you and me). In the early church, disciples were eventually called "Christians" (Acts 11:26). In the ministry of Jesus there were many disciples but twelve of them had a particular role. These were sometimes referred to as "The 12 Apostles", "The Apostles", or even "The Twelve". The word "apostle" can also have a more general meaning of one sent on a mission. We are more familiar with the particular use as in today's lesson.
Just before the crucifixion, Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver and then hung himself. He was replaced by Matthias in Acts 1:12-26. So Matthias then became one of the twelve. Later, Jesus came to Paul and named him as a special apostle to the Gentiles (Acts 9 – especially verse 15).
The names of the apostles can be confusing. Some have the same name. There was Simon Peter (Cephas) and also Simon the Zealot. A Zealot was a member of a Jewish revolutionary group that was trying to overthrow the Roman government and free the Jews.
There was James the son of Alpheus (sometimes called "James the Less because he was younger than the other James). James, the son of Zebedee, was the brother of the Apostle John. They worked together in their father's fishing business before following Jesus. They were known as the "sons of thunder" because of their tempers. John was one of Jesus' closest friends. Later, when Jesus was dying on the cross, Jesus asked John to take care of Mary. John later wrote the Gospel of John, 1-3 John and Revelation.
Some of the apostles have more than one name. Matthew was also known as Levi (Matthew 9:9 and Luke 5:27-28). He was a tax collector for the Romans when Jesus called him as an apostle.
Bartholomew's other name was "Nathanael". Thaddeus is called "Judas" in Luke 6:16 and he is sometimes referred to as "Judas not Iscariot". Judas Iscariot was the one who later betrayed Jesus.
Way to Introduce the Story:
Before class today write the names of the 12 Apostles on the chalk/white board or on a paper.
Play a game of "follow the leader" and lead the children around the church building or outside. Talk about what it means to lead and what it means to follow. "Who should be the leader in our lives? (Jesus) What does it mean to follow Jesus? (Do what He did. Act the way He did. Do what He wants because He is the leader.)
In our story today we are going to learn about some men who followed Jesus. Some of them used to be fishermen but they decided to leave their fishing and follow Jesus. Jesus told them that they would not be fishing for fish any more. They would be fishing for men. Jesus would make them fishers of men. Here are the names of the men who became fishers of men (show the children the names of the apostles).
How many of you can make "fish lips"? Today, as I tell the story I want you to make fish lips every time I say the name of one of the men on this list."
The Story:
While walking by the Sea of Galilee one day, Jesus saw two brothers who were fishermen casting their nets into the sea. He called to the brothers, "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." That means you will not go fishing for fish any more. Fishers of men go fishing for men. You will teach people all about God. Peter and Andrew left their fishing immediately and followed Jesus.
Going on, they saw two other brothers, James and John, mending nets with their father, Zebedee. Jesus called them to follow Him also. They left their boat and their father and went with them. Now Jesus had four apostles – Peter, Andrew, James and John.
On His way to Galilee, Jesus found Philip and invited him to come along too. Philip was from Bethesda, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
Philip found his friend Nathanael and told him about Jesus. When Nathanael met Jesus he was very surprised. He had never met Jesus before but Jesus knew all about him. Because of this Nathanael knew that Jesus was the Son of God. He started following Jesus too. You might know Nathanael by his other name. His other name was Bartholomew.
Have you ever heard of Thomas? Thomas was another man who followed Jesus. He was a very good follower.
Jesus found Matthew, the tax collector in Capernaum, and went to his house to eat. Some people thought that Matthew could never be like Jesus because Matthew was a tax collector. Tax collectors were often cheaters. But Jesus knew that Matthew had a good heart. Matthew started following Jesus too.
Now Jesus met another man named James. He was younger than the other apostle with the name of James so sometimes people called him "James the Less".
Two other men who followed Jesus and became apostles were called Simon and Thaddeus.
The last of the original twelve apostles was called Judas Iscariot. Judas followed Jesus but we are going to find out later that Judas was not always a good friend to Jesus.
Now there were lots of people following Jesus. People liked to hear Jesus preach. Everything he said was right. They followed Jesus because they wanted to be like him.
The 12 Apostles followed Jesus wherever he went. They listened to him and tried to do what was right. Today we can follow Jesus by reading his words in the bible and by trying to do what is right.
Do you follow Jesus?
- What kind of fishermen did Jesus tell the apostles that they would be? Fishers of men.
- How many original apostles were there? 12
- Name the twelve apostles. Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Thomas, Matthew, Bartholomew, James the Less, Simon, Thaddeus, Judas.
Craft and Activity ideas for the class (choose age appropriate ones):
- Sing: The Apostle Song (Jesus Called Them One by One) to the tune of "Jesus Loves Me" and The Books of the New Testament.
- Play "Apostle Bingo." Make a bingo grid and put the names of the apostles (instead of numbers) in the squares. Play like normal bingo but use names instead of numbers.
- Play "Apostle Concentration." Make up 12 matching pairs of cards (2 with Andrew written on them, 2 Peters, 2 Johns, etc.). Mix up the 24 cards and lay them face down on the table. Children take turns turning two cards over. If the two cards they turn over match, then they get a point for the matching pair – and also win an extra turn. Keep playing until all cards have been matched. The child who has won the most pairs wins.
- Write the apostles' names on 12 separate cards. Hide the cards before class and let the children find them.

See by Chloe
August 20, 2009 12:00 by Aarti Nagraj
This girl is something of a toyboy, but she remains feminine above all. The Autumn collection from See by Chloé is the story of a romance, an encounter in a gallery on its opening night, in an 80s-thinking
The collection is all about contrasts. Narrow proportions are paired with wider, almost inflated volumes. A lamé dress can be worn with raw denim, a tracksuit-style pant with a fluid silk blouse. Our girl wears a jacket that appears to have been stolen from her boyfriend's wardrobe, but belts it to give it a more feminine aspect. She also borrows from workwear with all-in-ones in chambray or tuxedo-style for evening. The classic trench and waterproof textures are revisited in cape form. To balance this masculine style, flirty frills or bows feature on fine knits or dresses reminiscent of prom outfits for an eternal student look.
Colours inject life into this softly excentric style. The young lady blends tomato red or apple green with darker shades like a nut brown, a sunny gold or a crimson purple. Prints play a similar game : dots cover a silhouette and tartans feature bright shades.
On the
The American Graffiti mood is revisited in a relaxed manner, in a slightly Campus style yet packed with prints : tartans, gothic or abstract motifs with special effects in white filaments. The winter sports theme, and especially a 50s Gstaad or
The Accessories
Colored with a hint of seductive humour, accessories are not averse to comfort and follow the same night/day dichotomy as the clothes, in perfect harmony with the collection. Shoulder bags, some inspired by the bowling bag, are supple and often in dua matte/shiny materials. Volumes are generous to optimise ease and lightness. Each piece can be customised with pop plexiglass or leather charms in pop colours. Shoes accentuate the cool style of the collection with lined boots inspired by après-ski and reworked to evoke a desert boot. Two-tone trainers as soft as mocassins are perfect to walk the streets.

You can finally stow your heavy thermal gear away in the closet at these temperatures, but don't make the beginner mistake of riding in only a short-sleeved jersey and bibs.
Long-sleeve jerseys work well at the lower end of this spectrum, while short-sleeved jerseys and arm warmers are the recommended option as temperatures near 60 degrees. Whatever the temperature, it's a good idea to start your ride wearing a vest; if you get too hot, you can simply take it off and stuff it into a pocket. "Vests fit snugly into this category, both the ambiguously titled 'wind' vests and the much sturdier thermal vest," says King. For your legs, either knee or leg warmers will work, but you should skip the tights.
You'll still want long-fingered gloves, although you can ditch the lobster versions for more form-fitting models. At the lower end of the range, opt for a pair with some wind-stopping properties. As it gets closer to 60 degrees, you can choose an all-fleece model, as long as you make sure the palm has some tacky material to keep your hands from slipping.
Thin shoe covers will be enough to keep your feet warm, but your face still needs some attention: King recommends finishing the ensemble with a multi-purpose neck gaiter.

... and a perfect blend of old and modern.
Before dinner we descended to the 13th century wine cellar for a tasting of three local wines. It was quite an experience to be in the cave, with drops of water coming down from the ceiling. The owner of the hotel conducted the festivities with great pride and seriousness. We emerged from the cave, walked a little ways down the street and entered the restaurant where our dinner ...
Day at leisure
We love this resort so much that we decided to stay another day and night. The photos of Pocatky were taken from a 16th. century bell tower. We were inside at 12 noon but the bells didn't ring. Thank goodness.
Photo of the time keeper's "nest" are included.
We both had massages today.
Drive Time
Left our Prague apartment this morning and drove to this fitness resort. Foot massage for 2 (that's people not feet) at 6 PM. Horseback riding at 10 AM, full body massage at 2 and Jacuzzi at 7:30 tomorrow. We should really be relaxed by Tuesday!!
Great weather, great time.

He taught many of the instructors that then taught the people doing tandem flights with my travel companions. What a job. We got on the chair lift and started talking. I did my best German and was chuffed when he asked "sprechen zie Deutch?" quizzically. "Nein," I replied with a grin. The chairlift hit the station and I made ...

Once we deposited our bags at our very modern and brand new apartment, we visited the information centre. We have come to realise that the further we get from Prague the less English speaking people we come across. We took a walk through the Old Town which had 9 statues that the Jesuits placed along the road between ...

Solar panel & Droid phone charging; electrical question? I am buying a 12V 5 watt solar panel to keep my vehicle battery charged. I am wondering if this same panel could charge my droid phone and what i would need to do to accomplish this. Im sure a voltage regulator is needed in the very least. I dont know the amp output of the panel, but i believe the droid needs 1000mAh
The answer is in the panel. If it has an alternate plug in, just use car charger. It will regulate by design. If no alternate, charge inside car. Solar charge takes longer, but will work.
This would depend on the outlet setup. You can build a converter plug with a little savy and a dc voltage tester. The key to this is polarity. Since the output polarity + - is set coming out of panel, when building the converter plug it has to match what goes into charger. + to + and - to-. This is because the output is already dc. Got it? If you need more just give me more detail about panel output and check back. Visit my profile and maybe pm to save time and noise.
I'm guessing that it either 1) connects directly to the battery, in which case you'd have to rig up a way to attach a cigarette ligter plug to it in order to use a charger, or 2) it plugs into the car's cigarette lighter plug. If that is that case, then you might need a single to dual adapter, so that you could plug both the charger for the phone and hte solar charger into your cigarette lighter plug single to dual adapter, plug the adapter to the car's cigarette ligher, and charge both. in hte latter case, the single to dual adapter should *also* suffice for use in hte field as the phone's car charger will automatically regulate both voltage and amperage (by design). Also, technicaly specifications show that microUSB is supposed to provide up to 500 mA, but most car chargers vary up to 1000 mA, and the electrical chargers rom Motorola supply 800 mA. The lower than 1000 mA that is supplied to the phoine, obviously the slower the charge. The quality of the product (wires, charger, etc.) also makes a huge difference. I bought some USB-A to microUSB cables from monoprice - they are much more sturdy, thicker, better insulated, and larger guage wire inside - and they, from the same electical outlet device made by Motorola charge my phone at different rates. tested with two different batteries.... See my post here for the monoprice links to cigarette lighter adapters http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/17365-droid-battery-issues-charging-slowly.html#post110803 in fact, that whole thread is a very good read....
Another thing to consider is the output voltage of the solar panel. I don't think the charging circuit in the Droid would like 12V very much, so you would have to step down the voltage. I think the post above about a dual cigarette lighter adapter may be the easiest way to go. as the panel you are buying does not have this as an output, you would have to wire the panel output to an adapter. I use one of these solar chargers in my truck, to keep the battery charged as I don't use it often. It has a cigarette lighter plug as the output, and I simply plug it in and place it on the dashboard. Anything you have to clip directly to the battery would not seem as user friendly, so you may want to consider a different panel.
I suspected something of the sort. I assume that alligators can then be rigged to a makeshift cigarette lighter that you can purchase from an auto shop (autozone, O'reillys, etc.) then then you *should* be good to go. If he is using a car charger, it is also taking 12 V from the cigarette lighter and stepping it down. That's the whole reason I made use of a car charger in the first place for both of my suggestions - to eliminate that variable. Also, while it has alligator clips to connect directly to the post s(terminals) I'm guessing you could quite possibly connect them to a live grounded circuit in the car as well, just as long as you didn't try to run the starter off of it @yzingerr - to say the least, it would make for a good experiment - but you might want to have a multimeter around to test output voltage from your rigged cigarette lighter adapter and from the car charger when it is insert in there, just to be sure. Common sense says it should work just fine, but...I don't know if the stock (Motorola) car charger has some sort of circuitry to monitor if it is plugged into a car or not, and / or if it is fused (I think it is supposed to be fused, but I don't use the stock car charger in the first place, so I don't really know.
I definitely think that connecting the car charger to the panel and then to the phone is the best option. I really dont care if I fry the charger, but the phone being fried would really suck. I guess ill have to do some research to see what the appropriate output voltage should be...
The output voltage should be 12 V as in your OP. Otherwise it would not work as a Car battery charger. The car charger I'm referring to is a Phone car charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter - as long as you're using one of those it is going ot adjust the voltage to your phone's specification every time. There really should not be be a problem, b/c even if the cigarette lighter receptacle (adapter as I was calling i before) that you wire to the panel shorts, it won't overload the car charger with voltage Also, since Wattage is Voltage times Amperage, 5 W = 12 V * .416666... repeating Amps, or 416.6666...repeating mA, which is just under the Amperage supplied by normal USB connections on computers. As long as you get a Car Charger unit that supplies your phone with the correct voltage, you should be golden - provided that the panel is supplying you with continuous voltage, as opposed to that 5W value being a peak value. The car charger that I use is the following: PowerJolt Dual - which I picked up at a local Wal-Mart. Here is a cigarette lighter receptacle that you could use: Duralast/Cigarette Lighter Connector (816) | AutoZone.com
I have an extra accessory cigarette lighter plug, now to figure out how to get an MC connector fitted to it ?!?!?
O.K. you have panel now you have option to do butt connections. Cut cable for car gator clips and put quick connecting plugs @ both ends. Switch male female connect ends so you can't cross polarity. 1 mal 1 female on 1 side etc. Do same with lighter adapter careful with polarity. Don't worry about volt/ amp just make sure polarity matches. You don't step down anything because you have amps regulated by charger. The output rating of panel is most likely 13.7v @ x amps and 1.7 drop in v through zener diode for v regulation. Any device connected will only DRAW from a max BANK the amount needed to operate. Just as if you plug in a bulb to a D.C. power supply. Amps will take care of itself. Polarity will kill you. I would also place an in line mini breaker or fuse for protection... now you can leave gator clips for car in car and plug/unplug adapter as needed.

Hit A Home Run This Baseball Season
Hit A Home Run This Season
Kelso Sturgeon's "Winning Baseball Menu"
It is no accident Major League Baseball is the favorite sport of almost all the highrollers of the world - and I mean the "world" Betting American baseball is so popular in the Asian countries it is the only sport other than horse racing, soccer and cricket bookmakers handle.Its world-wide popularity comes from the fact one has only to win the game to win the bet. There are no point spreads involved and all wagers are offered on a money line basis. For instance, let us say the favored Chicago Cubs are playing the Cincinnati Reds and that the Cubs are a -140 on the money line. That means, if you bet the Cubs, you must lay $140 to win $100, or $14 to win $10. If you like the underdog Reds, who are +130, you will have to bet $100 to win $130. It is as simple as that.Playmakers Can't Win 1-on-5

What I like is it's uncluttered but as organized as I want it. So 5 pages to put apps in but press and hold clear space to open a folder, make the folder bigger, drop apps in. Delete apps from the folder and/or just have them on the page, delete the folder itself. Use the folder to move multiple icons from one page to another with several icons in the folder and moving with one slide action. Drag unwanted apps to the bin at the bottom of the screen. Talking of which the bottom task bar has the almost standard 4 apps as icons. Slide left and you fit 4 more in, twice right and another 4 in if you want. Change them any time you wish and scroll left to right to see all 12 apps, home will take you to the main centre 4.
Finally, and the bit I really really like, the bottom bar can be rotated on its own axis vertically to reveal the phone lock. Enter a 4 digit code to lock, add any more apps you want to lock. Rotate to normal position and when locked the apps you chose are in red and blocked, say phone, text, browser etc. Rotate vertically again, enter code and unlocked. Enter the code at any point, locked or unlocked (use code if locked) and enter any more apps you want blocked. Love it!

Wow, the day after a meet swim isn't all it's cracked up to be!! I felt good for about 50 yards, and after that it just... I don't think the 6 degree temperature increase from the one pool to the other is very good either. I really enjoyed the 78 I swam in yesterday. 84 is just way too relaxing to lap swim in!

Yesterdays swims went well but the 200 fly did not go like I had hoped. I knew I had to attack it more and I did, I died after the first 100. Oh well I will try again in February, March and April. A 50 free after the 200 fly is not a good idea, especially when my coach puts my time in at a 28 instead of the 30 I told him to use. The 400 IM went really well and I was really just cruising that one. I would love to see how it could have gone if I attacked it. 500 free 500 free kick w/zoomers 5x200@3:00 free w/strapless paddles & bouy descend went 2:52, 2:49, 2:47, 2:44, 2:40 that was all I could muster today 500 free kick EZ w/zoomers every 3rd lap AFAP 6x100@:15RI w/snorkle #1 free swim #2 free underwater recovery #3 free kick #4 free swim #5 torque drill w/paddles #6 accordian drill 200 free maintain 6 beat kick 200 free EZ Total 3500 yards
This was more of a survival type swim meet for me today. I haven't been swimming a whole lot over the past couple months with my mother in law gone, as well as my house rebuild project going on. The first "problem" is solved as my MIL is back, but the house fixup will be going for a while. I did minimal warmup, figuring that it wasn't going to help me that much, but too much could hinder my performance by taking away valuable energy. I'm getting all these splits off the computer timing tapes, which I luckily have since I'm the Top Ten/Records guy for the LMSC. They have an old cable for the timing system and it doesn't transfer the touchpad 50 splits from the timing computer to the laptop with Meet Manager, so they have to manually enter all the finish times. Doing splits would be way too much work...but I can look after the fact at my own times. All splits from the tape and my rough estimate subtraction math... 400 IM - 4:52.34 29.0 / 1:02.78 39.1 / 39.0 42.5 / 42.8 34.0 / 32.3 I knew this race was going to be tough, but I didn't expect to see 1:02 on the wall as I was going on my back. It definitely hurt, and I just held it together as best I could. 400 Free Relay (did leadoff leg): 27.27 (55.42) - we were 2nd place on the relay My goggle filled with water off the dive, I just swim this relaxed, breathing every stroke. Powered off the 50 turn with about 10 SDKs and came home as best I could...that's why it was nearly even splitting for a 100. 200 Free - 2:00.28 28.11 / 30.7 (58.84) 31.2 / 30.1 (1:01.3) Originally my intention was to swim the 200 Fly in this race, but I decided otherwise on that after the 400 IM earlier. Wise choice on my part. Looking back at the tape splits, I can see just how close this was. I was 0.02 ahead at the 50, about 0.3 ahead at the 100, 1.1 ahead at the 150, and then barely touched him out on the finish by 0.07. This young buck 23 year old always seems to be a little Sammy save-up when it comes to races like this. I had to really put my head down for the final 6-7 stroke cycles (normally I'd probably have taken 5 breaths or so during this), but it's probably what got me the win. 200 Medley Relay - (Fly split) - went 26.4 - 1st place on the relay I figured I could do a 50 okay. 200 Fly - 2:17.44 28.96 / 33.9 (1:02.89) 37.1 / 37.4 I didn't feel "normal" on this race, and just held it together by backing off after the 100. I managed to keep my breathing pattern good, just backed off the intensity. Happy to have lived through another one! 200 Free Relay - anchor leg 24.1 - we got 1st place by about 1 second. Came from behind throughout the relay after we gave away a 4 second deficit on the 1st leg. I dove in basically tied with the other team's final swimmer. It's fun finally have a relay team group in my workout group that I can finally race with. In the past I'd be the young gun with a bunch of AARP members. 50 Fly - 27.09 I got beat on this one by about 1/2 a second. I just wasn't ready to sprint on this one, but I was gaining on the 2nd length. ...just 5 more yards... 500 Free - 5:27.41 30.4 / 32.9 33.5 / 34.0 33.6 / 33.0 32.9 / 32.7 32.4 / 31.7 I managed to negative split this one 2:44.4 to 2:42.9 (about 1.5 seconds!) I was definitely a hurting guy prior to this race...fully exhausted, and just dove in swam "EZ" at the beginning. I glanced at the clock at the 200 and it said 2:10. In my head I thought that was wayyyyy too slow, so I tried to crank it up and actually felt really good doing so. Go to the legs!! That's why I do those insane kicking sets even now in my YMCA lap lane practice!
Brazilians visiting the age group team again this week & next - sorta crowded in the pool. Also, new guy showed up - 23 yo who's been out of the water 8 months and says he's super out of shape, but looks like he's gonna be super fast once he gets back into it - we spent to much time talking and getting to know him (rather talk than swim, I guess!) 600 back/free 600 pull 20 x 100 @ 1:40 - sounds like an easy interval, doesn't it? hahaha - not when you're not used to LC & you have to do TWENTY of them!! Luckily I got 15 sec rest or more on all of 'em. 200 easy 8 x 4-cycle speed play @ :30 200 easy 6 x 100 kick @ 2:15ish (hard to see the clock due to the fog & distance) 500 pull no paddles 300 breast/free by 50s Total: 5200 LCM
We did the 80 x 25 workout today and I added some IM work afterward (moderate pace). Here's how it went down: WU (500): 400 EZ on 7:00 100 IM on 2:00 MS1 (2500): 20 x 25 BK on :45 (these were :19-:20 range) 100 recovery 20 x 25 FR on :45 (these were :15-:16, maybe a :14 in there) 100 recovery ** 2 x 50 fr off the blocks (hard, the first one we didn't get a time on b/c of a stopwatch issue; the second one I brought in at 31.13, but didn't have much in the tank... so I'm guessing that first one was faster; darn you, stopwatch!) ** 20 x 25 FLY on :45 (was holding :20-:21 on these for the most part) 100 recovery 20 x 25 BR on :45 (working hard to hold :25) 100 recovery MS2 (1500): 1 x 400 IM on 8:00 (6:50) 100 recovery 2 x 200 IM on 4:00 (3:25s) 100 recovery 4 x 100 IM on 2:00 (these were slow and relaxed, trying to cool down) 100 recovery/cool-down
Drylands @ LA Fitness/Home RC/scap ex battle ropes, 6 x :15 AFAP + :30 rest power wheel roll outs, 3 x 15 flutter kicks on bosu, 100 long arm crunches, 2 x 50 single leg deadlifts w/DBs, 20 x 2 x 12 each leg extreme angle iso squat, 2:00 explosive push on double cable machine, 35 x 2 x 30 explosive leg extension, 75 x 3 x 15 lows row, 90 x 1 x 8, 100 x 6 -- think I shouldn't have done 100, my elbows are kinda sore from that overhead squats, 45 x 3 x 8 squat jumps w/bar, 45 x 2 x 8 calf raises, 90 x x 6 good mornings, 70 x 3 x 8 Stretching/Yoga, 20 min Swimming, 700 yards -- I just hopped in the pool for an easy swim. The pool is just like all the other crappy LA Fitness pools. It was also cloudy and hard to see the wall. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Going to get in a swim tomorrow and then I have a massage booked for Tuesday. It's one of the gift certificates my team gave me and he comes highly recommended. I did read with interest in Swimmer that David Guthrie swears by frequent massage (and his P2Life supps). I'm going to try having a protein shake before bedtime to see if that has any effect. Fort Son swears by that too.
My coach asked me to be at the pool at 7.30am this morning for a meet warm up, fast swim and warm down. So last night I set my alarm for 6.30am. Unlike the rest of the week I was awoken by the alarm shortly followed by my wife shouting at me; she did not realize I was swimming this morning and she was not happy. I need to do some groveling once she is up and about this morning. Despite this I headed to the pool this morning and did a meet warm up, followed by a fast 100 off the block followed by 4 fast 25s, using the electronic timing setup for the meet. Warm up 400 swim with snorkel concentrating on being long in the pool. 8x50 catchup on 45 4x100 kick on 2mins holding 1.25s 4x50 up tempo on 45s holding sub 30s Main set 100 AFAP from a dive 200 easy 2x(2x25 the first from the block with a turn, 15 seconds rest and then another 25 from a push with a turn) Warm down 400 easy Total 2400scy I felt good in the warm up and overall strong. I went 50.1 from the dive on the electronic timing system at the pool, which was about .5 seconds quicker than I went at the meet in December(still slightly slower than my meet swim in Nov). Despite not being a 100 swimmer i can swim quite quick in this event and since i dont feel easy speed yet I was pleasantly surprised and generally very happy with this effort. I think this is a good sign for next weekend. Fingers crossed with another week of rest i will hit my taper just right next weekend. The fast 25s I went 10.7 and 10.8 from the blocks and 11.7 and 11.8 from a push. These were again good times for me to my feet.
Weights SCM 30 x 15.5 turn drill (hypoxic) on 0:20 from low 11's to 9'snot quite to failure by last but close1 to 1 work to rest average 10 x 50 free WF on 1:00 40ish 5 x 50 free WF on 1:30 - maintain steady 6-beat (with no partial kicks) while permanencing to stroke rhythm 30's 2 x 25 FK well rested for times 18 - 19's Right knee tender from (likely) a dryland activity Have noticed my free 6-beat had distilled down to a KICK-KICK-kick-KICK-KICK-kick that I assume attributed from a body driven style. Maybe I can improve from redeveloping the kick. All but one (Nystrand) 50fr superhero's kick solid every beat. My upper body leads the stroke and the core kinda connects it to the kick, and the kick also showed where my stroke is lacking, which is likely the cause. Had some difficulty at first, but after leading with the kick, and adjusting stroke to it did I pinpoint the cause finding my rhythm was off rotating left (driving left shoulder down).

I managed a great 200 breast considering I don't swim it much because of my knees. My 200 IM was 5 seconds faster than my best last year. Tomorrow is the 200 fly, 50 free and 400 IM to finish my IMX. I want to go 3:12.07 or better tomorrow in the 200 fly. Hopefully I can get there.
Swim/SCY/Solo @ Pitt Warm up: 650 various 4 x 25 shooter w/fins @ :40 50 EZ Main Sets: 2 x 25 burst SDK + cruise from a push @ 1:00 5 x 30 burst SDK + cruise back from the blocks 100 EZ 4 x (broken 100s + 100 EZ) done as 4 x 25 @ :40 @ target 100 pace, no fins 1 = free, goal = 14+ (13/14/14/14) 2 = free, goal = 14+ (13/14/14/14) 3 = breast, goal = 18+ (17/17+/18/18 high) 4 = flutter kick w/fins, hold :11s 300 EZ After the first set, I was pretty convinced that I couldn't do 20 x 25 @ 100 pace without fins. But I decided to give it a try with freestyle, expecting to miss a few. I also bumped the interval to :45, consistent with what Rushall says is acceptable for older drop dead sprinters. 20 x 25 @ :45 free, no fins -- trying to hold 14+s -- made them all except #20 where I cramped and couldn't swim through it. -- getting to 30 of these reps seems really hard 200 EZ Total: 3000 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was pretty tired when I got in the pool. My shoulders felt fatigued form all the fly yesterday. But that didn't stop me from having a good workout. I've been thinking a lot about USRPT lately. So far I have the following thoughts: 1. RPT is not all that new. Salo and his high intensity style workouts have been around for awhile. 2. Rushall takes the idea of RPT and isolates it to the exclusion of everything else -- literally. 3. He ignores research on the important of strength training. 4. He is a bit cult-like in his declarations. Sometimes I feel like he's a swimming scientologist. 5. I don't think USRPT applies at all to 50s, and Rushall seems to have conceded that they're unique. 6. I think equipment helps and can transfer. Honestly, fins helped me become a great kicker. 7. I don't mind using his 20-30 x 25 set to train for 100s, but that won't be the exclusive way I train for them. I will still use high intensity max rest sets as well. 8. His sets are a great way to maximize your race pace training. But is maximizing RPT really a value in and of itself? More is better just for neural patterning? How much neural patterning do we need? 9. Do you really have to go all in with USRPT? Or can you dabble in it for certain events?
Yesterday I got in for a throw down challenge workout that Scotty texted me, but just didn't have the energy at the end of the day... I was swimming slower than I have swum in a couple of years; just not recovering as quickly from the hard workouts this week. Here was the set: 6 x 500 on 10:00 swum as... 500 EZ warm-up 500 back 500 free 500 breast 500 free 500 fly* *I was so worn out by this time that I decided to break up the fly into 5 x 100 on 2:00. Ran into Scotty today and he said when he did the workout (the one he proposed!) he felt too tired so left out fly altogether... I win. (Though his 500 times were a lot better on the rest). My EZ free warm-up actually felt quite hard even though it was slower than my usual warm-up pace. My third freestyle 500 was basically just a slow recovery swim. I was sore and ached all over. Today I did 20 minutes (4K) on the rowing machine and 20 minutes of stretching on the mat to try to loosen up... even the rowing feels hard now. I got into the pool and did 1700 in drill after that. Not very impressive. hopefully i'll be a little better recovered for tomorrow's 80 x 25 on :45 workout with the gang. YTD totals: Swimming = 16.75 miles Rowing = 23K

If you are a Masters swimmer, you know there are a lot of swim meets during the winter months that you can choose (or not) to participate in. In our area, we have a series of meets that start in November and go through March. There is one meet per month. Our Coach, Sue, usually trains our group in such a way that those who wish to compete in the meets are prepared to do so. There is an extra boost to this training that starts in January. That means interval speed training, starts of the blocks, IM sets (or stroke sets-doing something other than Freestyle), and general technique work. Meanwhile, back at the U.S. Masters - national level, there is a competition called the 1 Hour Postal Swim that runs from 1-31 January. Yes, that's right. You guessed it. We are training for meets, but we (many of us, anyway) are going to participate in the Hour Postal, as well. We don't often get much in the area of long swims to prepare for the Postal because we are stroking it out and doing shorter distances to prep for meets. This year, thanks to Sue (and the wonderful management at our pool), we are being given the opportunity to train for the Postal. We are getting an extra hour of practice one day a week for the next couple of weeks to do some long swims. Yay! I am so excited! Wish us luck! And, here's hoping the weather doesn't ruin our long swim training time!
I woke up early again this morning and once again felt pretty good. My daughter had two school events on Wednesday and Friday; her squad does not swim on Thursday and there is a meet this weekend she is not swimming. As a result she would have missed 5 days of practice and with her having an open meet next weekend we decided she would swim with me on Thursday and today. She did awesome on Thursday as I previously blogged. Today she did even better, swimming with the masters and doing most of the sets we did and this time without fins. I am so proud of her. Today's workout was a mix of aerobic and up tempo pace work. Warm up 400 swim with snorkel 6x50 catchup on 45 12x50 drill swim by 25 on 1min Main set 4x(200 even pace on 2.30, 50 back on 40 fast, 50 easy recovery on 2mins) 3x400 swum #1 with snorkel and over kicking, #2 perfect stroke, #3 strong on 6mins 4x25 swum, 12.5 easy, 12.5 fast with turn, and 10 seconds rest Warm down 100 easy Total 3900scy I felt quite good on the 200s going 2.01,2.00,2.00,1.59 by round. The 50s back felt really strong and I held 31s throughout. This set was good because we had lots of rest. My daughter did 150s to my 200s but on the same times on her 150 as my 200 and the same time on the fast 50 back. On the 400s the last one I went 4.15 and felt pretty good(probably 80-85% effort) the other two I held 1.10 pace per 100. I am slowly starting to feel better. We are doing a meet warmup, one quick swim, and a meet warm down tomorrow. It's been good the past three days swimming under 4k and I am really looking forward to next week. I have arranged to be off work on Thursday so will shave down after a short swim ahead of the meet Friday. Can't wait. Have I said, I am so proud of my daughter, she rocked today!

I made them all! I was quite surprised given how sore I felt. -- I did reduce the # of SDKs off the wall to 8-9. -- I guess next time I do this set I will add repeats. I don't think I can reduce the interval yet and Rushall specifies 30 x 25. 300 EZ 20 x 25 backstroke kick w/fins @ 100 pace @ :35 -- I reduced the interval on these. My goal time was still 12. -- I missed #11 and skipped #12 and then made the rest. -- I took 9-10 SDKs off the wall. 225 EZ Total: 3500 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I quite like the Rushall 25 sets for working on 100 pace. I didn't have any lactate acid build up. The hypoxic element and my lack of aerobic conditioning are really the limiting factors. Well, and the 25s do get more difficult as you progress. It was a mental challenge for me to get through 20 x 25 fly. But doing this set will give me some confidence for my 100 fly this season. Yeah, I know Rushall doesn't like fins, but I'm never doing that many 25 flys without fins or my shoulders would likely break off. I've been doing weights for 4 weeks now. I am due for a recovery week where I skip them. That will make my pool workouts more pleasant for sure! I did enter myself in the Allegheny Y meet on Jan. 19. But I am not at all exciting about racing right now, so I may bail. We'll see as it gets closer.
I figure that swimming 2-3 days a week is sufficient enough to keep my body in shape. Actually keeping it in superb racing form, I doubt it, but we'll just have to see with this weekend's meet on Sunday. At least it's right here at home. I also have to deal with a 12 hour workshift tonight, ending at 3:00am, then have to wake up on limited rest to prepare for and host a birthday party for my daughter...then off to work again Saturday afternoon again. I love my job sometimes!! All this in turn with working on my house project has made me one tired James, but that's not going to stop me from giving it all I can at the meet. I did hold back a little bit on my event selection, but not much. 400 IM, 200 Fly (in the 200 Free event), 200 Fly, 50 Fly, 500 Free. It's a low turnout this year, at least on the online entries...only about 40 or so. We'll see how many paper entries got turned in. This LMSC tends to have quite a few of mail in entries as the online thing just went "live" with us last season...but it is catching on quickly. My swim this morning...as I drug myself across the pool deck before waking up on splashdown: Warmup: 500 Free (500/500) Kick Set (all flutter kick w/ board): 4 x 50 @ 1:00 3 x 50 @ :55 2 x 50 @ :50 1 x 50 @ :45 4 x 50 @ 1:00 3 x 50 @ :55 2 x 50 @ :50 1 x 50 @ :45 (1000/1500) That double descend was fun...especially on the 2nd one but I made them all 4 x 175 Free Pull @ 2:15 (held them between 2:00-2:03) 100 EZ (800/2300) 4 x 75 Free @ 1:15 (attempt to hit or beat my college lifetime best 100 Free time - 46.75) I was around :46-:47 on all of these. Hard to believe I used to be that fast. 100 EZ (400/2700) ----------------------------- 2700 Yards I was lazy at this point and got out...plus I had to meet my dad back at home to work on the house.
SCM WARM UP: 12 X 100 4 on 2:00 4 on 1:50 4 on 1:40 4 X (8 X 50 Round 1: kick on 1:15 Round 2: free :50 Round 3: stroke--2 of each-- 1:15 Round 4: 25 sprint/25 easy- choice - 1:15 Break between rounds 4 X 400 pull 6:15 1-3: negative split #4 best effort WARM DOWN: 4 X 50 easy 4600M
I don't know how but I set the alarm for 7am this morning which is almost 3hours later than I normally wake up. I did wake up around my normal time but was running 10minutes later than usual. Despite having a different start to the morning I felt good. I still don't feel easy in the pool but today was a much better day. Warm up 400 swim with snorkel 6x50 catchup on 45 Main set 8x100 kick on 2mins with instructions to be no quicker than 1.30 5x200 on 3mins swum smooth with the 3rd 50 AFAP 10x50 drill, swim by 25 on 1min 16x25 on 30 with odds swum as 12.5 fast, 12.5 easy with a turn, evens swum as 12.5 easy, 12.5 fast with a turn Warm down 300 easy Total 3700scy I held 1.27-1.30s on the kick 100s. The 200s felt smooth and I felt good on the 3rd 50s going fast. I held between 2.07-2.09 on these. I focused on hand entry, turns and breakout on the drill set, and again felt pretty good. The 25s were fun. All sets were swum with a group of lanes which was also fun; often I end up doing more yardage on quicker times than most lanes, so swimming with others was good fun. There was a huge car crash on I30 early this morning so I have decided to work from the house today so I get to avoid 2hrs of driving today. I am sure this will help with my mental state. I am sure no one likes traffic jams, but I find a few hours in traffic just wrecks my day, so today I have made an executive decision and i am going avoid it.

Sports brief: CSU volleyball moves up to No. 17 in AVCA poll
Last updated 1 year ago
Now 12 games into its 2013 season, the CSU volleyball team remains undefeated. The Rams are one of only four teams in the NCAA still supporting a perfect record along with No. 1 Washington (10-0), No. 11 North Carolina (13-0) and Missouri (16-0).
CSU's recent success has launched it to the No. 17 spot in the country after the AVCA's weekly coaches' poll was released Monday. The ranking marks the best for the Rams since Sept. 5, 2011, when the Rams took down No. 5 Nebraska at Moby. The 17 spot was a two-slot bump for the Rams, after a previous rank of No. 19 before their game against New Mexico at The Pit in Albuquerque.
After the Rams got out to a 2-0 lead in the set count, the Lobos battled back to force a fifth set which CSU was able to walk away with. The match at New Mexico was the third of CSU's conference games this season, and only MW opponents remain for the Rams after finishing non-conference play with a perfect record for the second time in program history.
Next up for CSU is a match at Nevada (2-12, 0-2 MW) on Thursday before returning home the following week to take on Utah State (9-3, 3-1 MW) at Moby.

A Canadian Muslim woman has come out with a cosmetic line free of pig products (via Muslimah Media Watch)
You can read the article here.
Layla Mandi is a Canadian makeup artist who converted to Islam and her line is called OnePure.
You can order her products here and OnePure offers free worldwide shipping, how exciting!
Will you be purchasing this stuff? Do you think it even matters what ingredients are in cosmetics?
15 Responses to "Pig free cosmetics"
Wow! Very interesting. I don't see prices for the individual products though, just the set. I'd love to try the products. This makes me thing that we've come a long way in the world. I do think it matters very much what's in our cosmetics and what's going into our blood stream. We care about what we eat, so why not what we put on top of it!
Okay, maybe I can spell correctly now…lol. I noticed that they will be expanding but the travel kit is the only one available now. At first I thought it was a bit pricey but over the years I'm sure I've spent about the same for a good skin care routine! I like how they are gearing it to Gulf area residents now and I like how the products are weather/humidity friendly. That would be great during the summer months! Love the free shipping! YES! I would try this set! What about you?
Absolutely it does matter. As far as possible, I want to use products that avoid killing animals of any kind. And obviously if someone has a conviction that pigs are unclean, they're going to want to use pig-free, just as in the case of having a conviction about alcohol being something that should not be part of our lives – they'll want products free of alcohol.
I think it's cool to see a cosmetic line promoted by a Muslim woman
but I don't see the big deal about ingredients… It's not like were going
to eat it. -
Well, in that case, why are perfumes containing alcohol prohibited, even though we aren't going to ingest them either?
But what you put on your skin is absorbed into your body. Is that not the same thing as ingesting them? You might not go through your stomach but it reaches into your skin and beyond any way. For those who want this type of products I feel it's a necessary alternative because there are so many things offered with chemicals, preservatives, dyes and really unhealthy things already. It's an option…
I really like the concept of this product I hope to see it available in stores soon though. Also, with the pig-free concept I was watching a programme and apparently some lipsticks from well-known brands contain pig anyone else heard about this?
Total dilemma.When i get to read something like this,i think best thing is NOT TO USE ANYTHING.Not just because of the ingredients,i heard many women saying that when we apply creams/lotions,they hinder the flow of water when we cleanse before prayer.As far as im concerned,my skin dries up when i use skincare creams.
I think it's best to just ask your dermatologist for advice on products if you're unsure.
wow!, Its cool having your own cosmetic that is halal.
I'm not sure about what's "allowed" or "not allowed" with regards to cosmetics ingredients, but I think that we should definitely be cautious of what we put on our skin/bodies.
If we can afford to buy organic/animal free stuff it's better in the long run for us and for the environment. But that's just my personal opinion I go through phases of being really picky to sometimes not caring because I don't want to spend money. -
I think it is amazing that one of our sisters has thought of this and went through the effort to give us the option of halal skin care! long over due! And she gave so much care to offer something so beautiful and even special for our hot weather. YIPPIE! I can t wait to be a loyal customer!!!
@ Amina you're in luck.. we have an interview with the founder coming up as well as a giveaway so stay tuned!!
[…] previously posted about the first halal skin care line and now we bring you the exclusive interview with it's CEO Layla […]
This is not the first time I heard a cosmetic line labeled as "halal" because there are several local lines in my country certified as halal cosmetics as well.
But I'm always interested with cosmetics claimed to be alcohol (ethanol in particular) and pig-free.
However, in the website, they don't list down the ingredients.
When they say their products are advance in terms of ingredients, they MUST list the ingredients so that we know the ingredients they are using.
It is very common for today's women to check cosmetics ingredients first before decided to buy it.

"This whole wedding suite is beautiful. My fiance and I have received nothing but compliments. So happy we decided on this one!!"
"Everyone is talking about our invitations...they are unique, high-quality and classy. I love them and working with your company was an absolute breeze! If only the rest of the wedding planning were as smooth. Thanks again!"
"I was originally disappointed that they didn't have a reception card to go with the Rose Scroll invites, but I decided to take this directions "enclosure card" and create my own reception card. The best thing about this was after being sent to proofing they actually formatted it for me to look even better! Very easy card to customize to make it however you need it to be!"
"Great quality, but the card itself is a bit smaller than I anticipated it to be. Overall it does the job and looks great!"
"The customer service when putting my invites together was amazing we went back and forth emailing getting this part perfect!! I can't stress enough how easy it was to do my invites i live in Australia and it was much easier than i thought someone was always available to talk to me!! love it! the paper is thicker than you average piece of paper but its not too thick! overall very happy and excited!!"

... get themselves sorted distraction free. When we hit the interstate, the thunder opened up again & started raining, getting harder the closer we got to hotel. We got stuck behind a big arctic lorry spraying back water so bad our windscreen wipers just wouldn't clear it, so we tried to over take to be able to see, but there was no let up and 4 long haul trucks to pass by. In doing so we missed out turn off, but in front of the trucks we could at least see a little better, the ...

... to have an itchy night, best have some internal numbing aid too, cinnamon vodka should do the job whilst I get my blog job done. Whilst we lost all signal because of the storm, so did Andy - his polaxing across the bed was impressive, it would have been far less so had it been a smaller bed tho.

... Can't quite figure out why tho .....!! Burp As we strolled up to the cashiers, one girl was serving, another one loitering and the girl behind her cashier with a TIL CLOSED sign at the end. So we didn't go upto her at first, waited so she called us over; but Andy said "but you are closed - are you now serving" she at first wasn't quite sure what to say, he said your sign says you are closed, do you need the sign back now - handing it to her Laughing. ...
