Event 1 of the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games.
"The Story of CrossFit Legacy" with Brian Yoak, CrossFit Journal preview video [wmv] [mov]
2011 Reebok CrossFit Games Day Two Premier Show, Live Saturday, July 30th, 6:00pm PDT.
"It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect It's successful outcome."
- William James
No rope = 225 rope pull-ups... AWWWW YEAH!
Any word on Mikko Salo and Rob Orlando? Do they still get to compete or are they officially done?
I miss the commentators from last year, it is hard to follow the action this year. Wishing, or maybe I missed them, they would tell you the standards more. I miss the personal touch the commentating brought to the games!
What does DNS mean? (mikko salo got that)
No sound on the Jumbotron feed right now....super.
ESPN3 isn't avail in Canada.
Any suggestions/fixes?
DNS = Did Not Start... I'm just hoping he still gets to compete in the rest of the games... I think he was being tended to by the medical staff after he finished event one.
I wish Mikko the best, know how much he wanted to compete. What happens with a blown ear drum?
Same for Rob, very tough break. I am surprised how well most competitors did swim.
The softball throw was silly. At least twenty points were available to those with missed reps if they only dropped the ball over the line. Not good strategy. I especially think this could make a huge difference in Josh Bridges standings.
Ben Smith looks like he is in a very good position. He is above average on most traditional Crossfit WODs and seems to handle the curveballs well enough .
Is that the men's heat?
Does anyone have suggestions with towel pull ups? How many should be completed with 5 accents?
Goooo Annie! So cool to see one of the original girls doing her thing
I was cheering at my computer when I saw that little power house come out of the water. I knew she would do great on the pull-ups with her little froggy kip and crank through the air squats.
Go, Girl!.
Ditto Comment #6
Note to judges: when measuring distance you should have the dummy end at the final mark so that the measurement can be checked for square to the throwing line (shortest distance read, swing an arc). Surprised they did not use a theodolite to measure as a lack of experience with measuring tape (tension, level, square) could result in poor precision and accuracy. A modern EDM theodolite would be quick and very accurate.
Jumbotron feed video is running smooth, but has no sound. Come on guys, get it together.
great idea making the games open to anyone in the world to compete; lousy decision on the broadcast availability. Massive disappointment
Totally agree with Dean on inability for anyone overseas to watch the games. Very disappointing indeed!
im in sweden and i had some major problems with the feed during the first event, then i downloaded google chrome and everything has been perfect ever since! watching the goddesses right now and this event is just pure awesomeness, the ladies are def bringin it this year!!
Is anyone getting "Live Stream (Satelite)"?
Is it down for all or just a few?
I am just getting "Live Stream (Jumbotron)" and I am missing the commentary and footage...
Anyone from HQ can update on status?
I'm in east coast Canada, I'm watching watching the Rope climb/Clean and Jerk WOD live and the feed runs smooth, sound is ok, but I totally don't understand why they don't have commentating. It makes it hard to follow the action on the ground.
One point about the standards. I thought that this was a Clean & Jerk movement that was prescribed. So far, all I'm seeing is a Power Clean & Push Press. If that is what the judges are looking for for the standards, then why don't they call it Ground-to-overhead instead? I know when I do this one tomorrow, I will do it 'as prescribed', meaning full squat clean & Jerk. How many towel pullups to sub for a 15ft rope climb? 15?...
Watching the games last year was what got me fired up to start crossfitting. Now I can't watch the stream tonight because I have qwest internet and they don't do ESPN3.com? Please tell me I am making some kind of mistake?
Anyone know what Michelle Kinney's distance was for softball throw?
Yea, they dropped the ball on the streaming pretty bad. I hope its not some sort of agreement with Reebok/ESPN where they are in charge of broadcasting and they got rid of last year's team. Who ever did it last year did an amazing job, production value was very high. This year's broadcasting is a disaster.
Comment 18, Mark, so obviously the ladies in the pic are more muscular than you are.
In addition, they cut out anyone who is out of US by letting ESPN do the high quality broadcast.
Excellent work on the espn 3 coverage! thanks Guys!
Mikko's ear drum burst after diving in the water…sometimes this happens from flying and swimming too close together. Very unfortunate. Rob Orlando could no longer swim and had to grab onto a lifeguard's paddleboard and be helped back to shore. Unfortunately they are now disqualified. They can compete if they want to but their scores won't count. 2 amazing athletes. I think the ocean swim was not a good idea. Watching everyone on the beach was amazing but too many people who have no experience ocean swimming and without the massive lifeguard presence, bad bad things would have happened.
You can watch the rebroadcast on ESPN3 online at 9pm EST/6 pm PST Fri and Sat. It's not live, but you get to see the events, hear some great broadcasting, hear some goofy broadcasting, hear an attempt at a National Anthem, and otherwise get a great feel for the games. It's a little like watching local cable broadcasts, but the athletes and events are awesome.
Annie crushed it..6:54 that is amazing
Post 20 today's WOD is power clean and jerks. Unlike Thursdays work out that said squat clean and jerk. Prescribed workout is power cleans.
Post 20,
If crossfit wanted it to be squat clean and jerk they would specify it; like Thursday's workout was squat clean and jerk 12-9-6 and muscle-ups. Today's workout is just power clean and jerk.
The ocean swim was a great idea. Swimming after flying did not cause Miko's ear drum to rupture, if that is in fact what occurred! I'm an X-Navy Diver, and after flying to various parts of the world, I never had a problem getting in the water, even if the eustachian tubes are blocked, surface swimming will not rupture it. If his tubes were blocked, and he had a large wave overhead, then maybe, but doubtful!
I've got ESPN3.com piped into my 46" flat screen: Love it!
Real-time scoring is great, too.
Broadcast teams are fun to listen to.
Annie Sakamoto?! 6th place?! Yes! That's kicking it old school! No matter what happens the rest of the Games, my weekend is made. Kill it sister!
I get 3 seconds of jumbotron and then it cuts out. What a massive dissapointment. Fire the IT team!
Klever had an outside lane advantage and didn't have the barebells impede her trans. from rope to lifts. I think it would only be fair to award Julie 2nd (difference of 0.3 sec). I doubt it will occur. Five point swing for both athletes may prove to be a big factor.
Great to see Annie! Go girl!
Are there any download links? All i see are flash player streams.... I want to DL and watch on my TV through xbox not stream it on my laptop....
Sad, that you cant see anything on satilite view, without commmentary it is not the same. major disappointment.
FYI - from the CF FAQ page: "Squat clean aka Full Clean aka Clean = start from the floor, catch in a full squat"
Squat cleans = cleans
It must specify "Power Clean" for it to be a power clean - "Clean" is catch in a full squat
#41 Tony. If that is indeed what it says it's never interpreted that way. Squat clean for forced squat clean, power clean for forced power clean, clean for any type of clean. That's how it has been interpreted for years.
"Rich's Revenge"
Great Job Rich!
I normally try not to complain and vent my frustrations because I understand how difficult an event like this can be and I understand that things will get overlooked and mistakes will be made... but after years of providing download links along with streaming video why would you change that now? I just can't fathom the need to to alter your method of distribution to cover less platforms. I don't have espn3, not many people do as far as I can tell, and my laptop screen is junk so streaming it(choppy) on that for friends and family is just embarrassing. Thanks for the effort.. But that's all you are getting out of me.
Fun, now to find a rope, had one at the parents house when I wrestled in high school n college, shouldn't have made dad take it down cause it looked silly....lol!
Feed was bad early in the day, but the afternoon it was great.
Can't wait for tomorrow.
#41 Tony,
Thank you for pointing that out, I knew I wasn't crazy when I read cleans not power cleans. So therefore, I shall do squat cleans when I do this WOD saturday...
I think the swim was a great idea, after all, as a Crossfit athlete, you're supposed to be decent at everything. If you suck at swimming, swim more in your training, if you suck at rope climibing, well...you get the point. So unfortunately for Orlando, well sorry if you can't swim, maybe you shoulda done more laps buddy...as for Mikko, I believe he was kicked in the head during the swim, which is what ruptured his eardrum, very unfortunate incident...
what I find is total crap is to see Ben Smith in 1st place after seeing his performance in the last heat of event 3. He was clearly picking up the barbell off the bounce for his so called cleans and he got to finish ahead of a beast like Spealler...total crap!
And last but not least, if we are witnessing the fittest ppl on earth competing, I wonder why they are "walking" from the rope to the barbell. Wasn't the WOD "for time"? just sayin...
I got sooo into last year's streaming and told a bunch of friends to check it out hoping they would join our "box." What a disappointment. How could everything get better with sponsorship but the web presence to the world-wide community go so bad? I was so fired up for this year and even meeting some buds to watch. We are calling that off now. Somebody failed big time on this one. Very bummed.
Harry & Tony --
Try the WOD however you would like--nobody cares about your pursuit of scaled perfection you will no doubt be performing tomorrow. You would still get left in dust by anybody you watched do this WOD tonight. Quit b*tchin
Tony. If they sprinted over to the Barbell they would then have to stand there and rest before being able to explode in the lift of the bar. Its called Pacing, and these guys know how to do it, If they sprinted they would be too gassed to lift. Maybe it would make them appear to be working harder but my guess is that sprinting to the bar would in the end make them take longer.
Work smart, not hard (the hard part doesn't really apply in this situation)
Take a look at Pat Barbers performance in that event. He kept the same pace from start to finish. These guys know their bodies and what they are capable of.
Anyone else notice some atrocious L-sit form that was being judged as legit? Knees bent and/or knees frogged out? C'mon, straight legs as the standard should be enforced.
In my pursuit of "scaled perfection" as you call it, I believe that if a WOD is prescribed in a certain manner, it should be performed in that manner. Wether you're a firebreather or just a crossfit follower, all should perform the movements as prescribed. I'm 45 yrs old and yes, I will be scaling this WOD, and yes I will forever be in the dust of all those athletes I saw perform, and you know what, I'm ok with that. I do CF so I keep in shape for my job, not to go compete in the games.
And #46 TheBearNZ, pacing, really?...dude, it's only like 10m to the furthest barbell!...not saying they should sprint over there, but I know I will be jogging between towel PU and barbell tomorrow...
What should i do since i dont have a rope to climb?
The Games coverage this year is TERRIBLE!!!
Espn3.com coverage was good - huge improvement over the raw streams. Entertaining too - loved the female announcer constantly cracking up at the Speedo worn by one guy. Remember folks, it is streamed online at espn3.com, not on television.
nice picture!!
how about you jog and let the fittest guys in the world walk and let's see who is quickest. If it's you, maybe you should go for next year's Masters and start up a coaching clinic for the top athletes.
my money's on them....because the most important thing about this WOD isn't the speed between the transitions it is not to fail on the lift and to do the rope climb continuously. that little walk gets the heart rate down and allows the athletes to attack the rope and bar every time.
agree with all the comments above about the feed. really disappointing not to hear commentary.
also, my heart goes out to Mikko. that dude has been training all year for this one weekend, was in the best shape of his life and gets injured by a stray kick at the beginning of the first event.
At his age, he's running out of years to win again.
No rope and today is my 35th birthday so the Marines of Aco 1/9 FWD deployed Afghan came up with a good sub!
The 35'er (all my fav!)
3500m bike
35 wall ball 15lbs (all we got)
35 double unders
35 walking lunges 35 lb plate over head
35 box junp 24 inches
35 standing straight bar curl 65 lbs
35 kettle bell swing 2 pood (no choice on one we have)
35 standing push press 65 lb
35 Ab twist 15lb ball
and ofcourse
35 burpees!!!!!
Good luck mate if you think you can complete this WOD with no rest and sprinting between barbell and rope. In fact if you are so awesome as to be judging these mens performaces maybe you should be at the games showing Rich and alike how this WOD should be done
Not a good day for me.
Almost another workout because of my substitutions: 10 jumping towel pull ups for each ascend (read that in the message board from someone doing both, the real rope climbs and the towel sub ) and 110lbs hang clean and press.
My shoulders felt awkward because of bench presses two days ago (wrong technique I guess) and I'm starting to get a cold, so I wasn't in my best shape. I decided to play it safe so I don't injure myself from the cleans (don't have any practice with that) in my small room. That means I didn't try to do it as fast as possible but waited until I felt 100% secure I could do another rep instead.
Time was 49:55 in the end, I was just happy I finished it. Maybe I'll get more confident with the cleans so I can aim for better times some other time, this is kind of discouraging.
For those wishing to watch the ESPN 3 feed but are having trouble because they are not with the proper internet service provider, try googling 'how to watch espn3' ;)
subbed 5 towel pu for each ascent
failed on the 225lb C&J
watched the ESPN3.com coverage and loved it. Heather is a riot! Today ill skip the streaming during the day and just catch the nights broadcast on ESPN3 to get caught up and see some live action too. If you were watching the event last night the announcers let it known many times that the rope climb, clean and jerk event was actually ground to overhead. ESPN3 is not a tv channel, its a website.
As rx'd
Cracked the heck out of my knee on hole where rope was but still slower than I wanted.
M/40/81 kg/178 cm
Scaled down to 65 kg in c and j ( did more ropecliming after the wod)
Time. 11:33
After watching event 1 I think that our collective crossfit focus has shifted too much towards strength and neglected aerobic and endurance training. Almost all of the top performers that we have enjoyed watching over the last few years have added significant muscle mass since 2009, but I think event 1 showed that there is a price to be paid for that extra size. The athletes this year are unbelievably strong, and their work capacity is off the chart, but can we honestly call ourselves the fittest on earth when a one mile run reduces us to walking? Or the fastest athlete took almost 10 minutes to cover the distance? Would an outsider watching event 1 have agreed that these are the fittest on the planet? I have nothing but respect for these athletes, and I'm really enjoying the games, but just curious if anyone else thinks that our programming has overemphasized strength training to the neglect of aerobic conditioning.
the espn3 coverage is USA only right?
Rob - a couple of things.
1. crossfit model is that anaerobic training is superior to aerobic training. As anaerobic training also increases aerobic capacity.
2. I disagree with you tremendously. With regard to the swim you are totally discounting how the swim affects the athlete, how the pull ups, air squats, and push ups affected the athletes.
3. Have you looked at their statistics on the stats page of games.crossfit.com? They all run sub 20 min 5k's? The object of crossfit is to be fit it is not to be ultra endured. Being able to deadlift 500, do 30 muscle ups in 5 min, and run a 5k under 20 min is fit. Being able to complete an iron man is not necessarily fit. That is the crossfit motto.
p.s. - most of the athletes are not massive. Only about 5 are over 200 lbs. Most are medium sized and lean. Look at the top guys like froning and ben smith, zach forrest etc. Out of the first 13 guys only one over 200 lbs is khalipa, and i think he has proved his fitness prior to these games.
As rxd
#47 Yeah I noticed some pretty poor looking L-sits and would have though there would have been higher standards or stricter judging.
One that really caught my eye was Clever, poor form and when she straightened her legs she failed.
ESPN3 unavailable due to my Internet provider. CRAP! Will it be available to be viewed any other way in the future?
13:56 w/ 145, 155, 165, 175, 185# C&J
2011-07-30: 16:58. Sub pc&j's (135,150,167,189,205&8' L-Climbs.
Good job Ben Smith for your 1st place after day 1!
Hope to see you on the podium this year:)
I'd rather watch the feeds with no sound and choppy than read another post of you guys whining about it.
If you didn't go to the games, you should expect risks, get over it. Train harder, earn a spot your selves, or save up some cash and head to LA next year and watch it live.
For a bunch of "Fit" people who are supposed to be able to handle anything you sure to freak out when technology fails you. I'd hate to see your faces if you were supposed to do Fran and then your coach said "no were gonna go Murph" right before you started. Would you all quit and throw a temper tantrum like a 3 year old child? Adapt and overcome. If the feed doesn't work go enjoy the great outdoors, hit a wod, play with your kids, whatever and check the site later...they will archive a good amount of footage and you can watch it later, assuming you have a journal subscription.
Its really sad to hear how our generation is so reliant on technology. We have taken our fitness and our diets back to our evolutionary roots...I wish we could go back in other ways as well.
sorry gotta feed em
That competitor ran that mile after doing a 210m swim, the first mile, and 50 Pullups 100 Pushups 200 Squats. So, was it slower? Heck yes! (Oh yeah the soft sand thing too!) You also have to remember that we can't skew it towards endurance either. Are marathoners or regular 5K runners the fittest? No, because they can't lift heavy stuff. Are people that powerlift the fittest? No, because they can't run or jump. Pardon my stereotyping for those limited few in the above categories that can:) My point is, you have to be the best overall to be the fittest human. Do I think as the competition goes more worldwide that we will have some beasts coming on the horizon that can 5min mile and snatch 300? Sure. I won't answer back if you want to argue, just food for thought. Hit the WOD hard!
Annie Sakamoto - you go girl. Concur with other comments re. Annie. Great to see her.
Annie Sakamoto! I love you. You look absolutely perfect. ROCK IT girlfriend.
Go Ben Smith!!!
CF - fix the live feed omg
#60 Rob,
Efficient running on sand is shorter strides than strides on a track. I doubt anyone could run a 6 minute mile on soft sand.
I'm in New York and have Optimum Online which apparently makes me ineligible to watch the ESPN3 Broadcasting. And the live streaming on the games website it TERRIBLE. Did ESPN make a deal with crossfit only if they could be the only ones with actual broadcasters and quality cameras? As crossfit has done in the past, I hope they listen to the people and next year we see some changes in terms of broadcast availability. After all, what is the point of advertising and high end production deals if no one can watch it?
What happened to the live feed and the games website? Did it just crash? The homepage won't even load.
75/60/45/30/15- Towel pull-ups

Ben Smith is NO JOKE. Cool to see him catching up to the big boys and surpassing them. And Annie Sakamoto??? HELL YEAH. Who wasn't inspired to do CrossFit by her. I'm a dude and I wasn't sure if I was more pumped watching her or Greg Admundson. She IS CrossFit to me. Little chick kicking ass.
Rope climbs as Rx'd

19:15 95-115-135-155-165
@88 - Decathalon gold medalist, best ATHLETE in the world. For those having issues with the stream, it might be your browser. I was trying to use Internet Explorer with no luck, but when I switched to Firefox, no problems. GO FRONING!!
I'm not going to say the streaming was amazing or terrible but espn3 was certainly better and more entertaining, but y'all have to remember, espn is an international company that is used to providing streaming to millions of people at the same time for at least a few years, this is the first time crossfit has done an "open" style game and the first time you open anything up to the ENTIRE WORLD, there's going to be problems, I think it's amazing that they've done it this well so far, also if any of y'all know how to make streaming better then tell HQ how to do it, don't just complain, I know I don't so I'm not going to complain about anything, just my two cents. Now on to the WOD, then watching more games!!
Finally decided to buy the NB Minimus shoes and man are they AWESOME! Couldn't be any happier!
Didn't have a rope climb so I sub'd each ascent with 5 rope pullups on each arm so the first set I did a total of 25PU for each arm..
Afterwards did 10reps of 125lb C&J and then 20reps of 115lb C&J then 10reps of 65lbs
I really need to get stronger on the OLY excercises
26:41 went 0 for 2 on 225 jerks
all cleans were full squat
25-20-15-10-5 L pullups
145-5, 145-4, 165-3, 165-2, 165-1
been cf ing for 8 weeks now this round. Rope climb 6-7 weeks ago was a lot harder then it is now!
Done outside in 101 degree temps!
1st climb was hands only the rest were with leg around rope. by rep 7-8 I tore off one calus. Only did 3 rds becuause I had 3 sores and wanted to hang onto the rope! Also did clean/jerks in about 2" of sand and forgot my wraps. I don't think I could have made 185.
5 ascents 15' rope climb
4 ascents
3 ascents
time 23:20
Clean & Jerk weights scaled as follows:
135/5; 145/4; 155/3; 165/2; 175/1
Total time 25:15
I was going to do this as RX'ed in spite of my trepidation, but...
1)No Rope
2)I must have been hypoxic from my warm-up run because I couldn't add weights worth a darn, so...
Subbed Towel pull-ups and weights were as follows
4th day of X-fit. NOTE TO SELF - wear pants during the rope climb.
29 mins. slow ... slow day for me today.
clean and jerk ... still concentrating on form vice weight
rnd 5 - 95#
rnd 4 - 95#
rnd 3 - 115#
rnd 2 - 115#
rnd 1 - 135# failed
Ends up being 10 lbs. more than RX...
Had to do some modifications:
weight progression was "pack": 95-105-115-125-135
First round: 25 towel pullups
2nd round: 20 pullups
3rd round: 15 pullups
4th round: 15 pullups
5th round: 10 pullups
This workout combined TWO of my weak points. I have to learn to love these workouts!
How many CFers can do a 225 lb C&J? That's big medicine.
As Rx'd. 18:20
USMC0369; It was Dan vs. Dave; and yes it was 1992. But the world champion decathlete is commonly referred to as the World's Greatest Athlete; not fittest. Ironically, Reebok ran the Dan vs. Dave ad campaign.
What are the specs on the "L" sit event? I can't find them. All the girls I saw had legs locked out over the plates, and were in a classic "L". Klever had her knees bent at almost 90 degrees, and only dropped out after she extended her legs. Was that legit?
i believe the winner of the decathalon is usually considered the world's best athlete, not necessarily the fittest.
Used the women's weights, starting at 115 lbs, but stopped at 145; hurt my low back. Would have been around 15 mins.
I'm sad not to be at the games this year, but it is outrageously wonderful to see Annie S., one of my old trainers, giving Annie T. (and Kristan) a run for her money. It is also super inspirational to see all the Masters kicking caboose on these killer wods. Way to go Jim D!

C/D: skipped.
Sub'd 15 towel pull-ups for each rope climb. There's nothing quite like 225 towel pull-ups to remind me of how nice it would be to have a climbing rope! I was unable to complete the last C&J at 225#. So I had to stop the clock w/o finishing. I think those towel pull-ups just wore-out my ability to clean.
Enjoying watching the Games coverage. Thrilled to see Annie Sakamoto doing so well!
Thanks for getting the streaming fixed. Good camera work. Good, speedy scoring. Love the programming of day 2.

So I've been hearing pretty good things about Biotest workout supplements from friends, I was just curious if any fellow crossfitters have used them, and what your opions are?
Still no satellite link for me in UK. Jumbotron is working, which is certainly better than nothing, but the proportions are all wrong— everything is stretched widthways—and the res is lower than last year; there's no commentary either. Is this Reebok's doing?
What would have been brilliant would have been a high quality downloadable version of the event available a few hours after the actual live event. It would still have the feel of live for those of us who can't get a good live feed. Oh well.
Thoughly enjoying watches the games!! I only wish the audio was a good as the video. What's up?

Limited time and equipment today. Today is the one year anniversary of the death of our LT. "Vinny" Costello. Vinny died here at the firehouse while on duty. He was a good leader and a great friend.

I wanted to do this one as soon as I saw the Games competitors being briefed on it. It was awesome! Rope climbs got hard in the round of 4 when my grip went, and I had to really focus on the wrap. I did C&Js power clean and push jerk thru 185, then split clean and split jerk at 205, and squat clean and split jerk at 225. While I didn't finish under the Games 12-minute cap, I did change out all my own weights on the bar, so I'm pleased with the time.

Pretty disapp, esp last 2 rounds of cleans. Numerous failed attempts at 205 before dropping to 195. Then missed jerk on 1st. Got it on 2nd. Then 205 last round. Got clean, not jerk. Felt like I did little better job of getting vertical on last couple.
Tried 215 after WOD. Couldn't get it.
Rope climbs not too bad. Grip a little tough so that contributed to slow pace. Really focus on getting good reach on pull.

Mothers Day Games
Along with siblings, cousins and friends you can organise a skit or a play on Mothers Day. This will be hugely entertaining for your mom and she will feel so special to have a play hosted just for her. Surprise her with your hidden talents and she will feel proud to be your mother.
It is great idea to organise a special interview with your Mom or Grand Mother on Mothers Day. Call it "Coffee with Mom" or any name you like. If you have a camcorder record the event and take a few pictures. Besides this session will help you know more about your mother, if you dig your Mom about her childhood, her friends, teachers, husband and children. You can also ask her about how she met your father, best moments and most trying circumstances of her life. This is a nice way to make your mother feel important on her special day. Do not forget to express your love for her and to thank her at the end of the interview.
Play Games
You can celebrate Mothers Day by playing various indoor and outdoor games on Mother Day. If your mother is an active person play tennis, badminton or any of her favorite sports with her. You may also play chess, carom, cards or any game your mother is fond of and spend time with her. There are several online games too which you can play with your mother.
Here is an for an interesting Mother/Child Game idea which can be played with a few other families.
- Divide into four mother/child teams.
- Ask the mothers to leave the room while the children sit in chairs.
- Ask the same four or five questions to each child about their mothers.
- Bring in the mothers and ask them the same questions.
- Will the mother and child have the same answers?
- Switch places and see how well the mother's know the children.
- Award a red carnation to the winning mother/child team.
Favorite color, movie, dress, animal, memorable moment with you, best friend, hobby, talent, food, animal, cartoon, pizza topping, ice cream topping, restaurant. Most embarrassing moment. Favorite holiday.
Lunch Get Together
If your parents are living alone plan a get together over lunch, dinner or tea inviting all your siblings along with their families. You may also invite her friends and their families and host a big Mothers Day party. Ensure that you have your mothers favorite food in the menu. And don't forget to play her favorite music.
Tea Parties
You can organise tea parties in honor of your mother on a Mothers Day. Pick up the best crockery in the house, decorate a tray with a beautiful tray cover and vase of fresh flowers. Compliment the tea with a delicious cake and her favorite snack. You can present songs in her praise and let her know your feelings for her.
Craft Activities
Mothers Day can also be celebrated by participating craft activities together. Mothers can work along with their little children and have fun with them. Grown up children can surprise their mothers with some craft work for them. Click here for some interesting ideas on Mothers Day Crafts.

Welcome to the Rand Paul Evolution

Manu Raju
November 13, 2012
He'll push to loosen marijuana penalties, legalize undocumented immigrants and pursue a less aggressive American foreign policy.
Call it the Rand Paul Evolution.
In the wake of Barack Obama's reelection win and ahead of a possible 2016 White House bid of his own, the Kentucky Republican plans to mix his hard-line tea party conservatism with more moderate policies that could woo younger voters and minorities largely absent from the GOP coalition. It's the latest tactic of the freshman senator to inject the Libertarian-minded views shared by his retiring father into mainstream Republican thinking as the party grapples with its future.
In an interview with POLITICO, Paul said he'll return to Congress this week pushing measures long avoided by his party. He wants to work with liberal Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy and Republicans to eliminate mandatory minimum sentences for pot possession. He wants to carve a compromise immigration plan with an "eventual path" to citizenship for illegal immigrants, a proposal he believes could be palatable to conservatives. And he believes his ideas — along with pushing for less U.S. military intervention in conflicts overseas — could help the GOP broaden its tent and appeal to crucial voting blocs that handed Democrats big wins in the West Coast, the Northeast and along the Great Lakes.

Katie Couric's talk show to end after second season
NEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 11: Journalist Katie Couric speaks onstage at Glamour's 23rd annual Women of the Year awards on November 11, 2013 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images for Glamour)
By Phyllis Stark. CREATED Dec 20, 2013
In a move that's being called a "mutual decision," ABC and Katie Couric will end the talk show "Katie" at the end of this season, the show's second.
Broadcasting & Cable reports that production will continue on the show until June 2014, but there will be no third season.
A joint statement attributed to Disney/ABC and Couric said, "We're very proud of everyone's contributions to making Katie the No. 1 new syndicated talk show of 2012-2013, and we look forward to the rest of the season."
Couric's deal with ABC reportedly nettet her as much as $20 million annually, and Broadcasting & Cable reports, "That kind of overhead made 'Katie' difficult to renew once it became clear it wasn't on a growth track."
Last month, Couric announced she would no longer contribute to ABC News and, instead would become Yahoo's global anchor. Brodcasting & Cable reports "that job will remain on the back burner while Couric finishes the talk show's run."

Eight injured in bomb blast in Balochistan
A powerful explosion in Balochistan's Chaman area on Thursday injured at least eight people, including two police officials.
According to the Dawn, an improvised explosive device (IED) was planted in a bicycle parked outside the residence of a government official near Chaman jail, a police official said.
The wounded also include six passersby.
This is reportedly not the first time that militants have carried out low-intensity bombings in Chaman, targeting police stations and other national installations.
The town shares a border with Afghanistan's volatile Kandahar province.

Rob Thomas
Rob Thomas was born February 14, 1972, on an Army base in Landstuhl, Germany. His parents divorced, and the ex-Army brat spent most of his childhood in South Carolina and Florida. After dropping out of high school at 17, he bounced around the South singing in pickup rock bands before relocating to Orlando in 1993. There, he helped form the band Tabitha's Secret, a precursor to Matchbox Twenty. Although the group enjoyed some regional success, Thomas eventually left the lineup with bassist Brian Yale and drummer Paul Doucette in tow, and the departing musicians formed Matchbox Twenty with guitarists Adam Gaynor and Kyle Cook. The band's multi-platinum debut, Yourself or Someone Like You, established Matchbox Twenty as a superstar act, but Thomas wasn't individually well known.
That all changed when Thomas co-wrote the chart-topping single "Smooth" for the Carlos Santana album Supernatural. "Smooth" was ubiquitous in 1999, and it made Thomas a star. The track took home three Grammys, including the coveted "Song of the Year" award, and Thomas landed on People's "Most Beautiful People" list. Meanwhile, he also married model Marisol Maldonado. Mad Season (2000) and More Than You Think You Are (2002) continued Matchbox Twenty's success, but after years of touring in support of both records, the bandmembers decided they needed a break, and Thomas used the hiatus to write and record his first solo album. When "Lonely No More" debuted in early 2005, its sleek and funky dance-pop sound was closer to Justin Timberlake than Matchbox, and it helped stir up anticipation for the April release of the chart-topping Something to Be. Rob Thomas returned to the Matchbox Twenty fold several years later, but he also maintained work on his solo material, the second batch of which arrived in 2009 under the title cradlesong. ~ Johnny Loftus

Malaysia has cancelled a concert by US singer Erykah Badu after a publicity photo showed her with the Arabic word for "Allah" tattooed on her upper body. Officials say the photo of Ms Badu in The Star newspaper was "an insult to Islam". The paper has apologised. The Grammy-award winner was due to perform on Wednesday in Kuala Lumpur and is said to be dismayed at the news. Muslim-majority Malaysia has previously warned other international artists to dress modestly for their concerts. Tattoos are forbidden in Islam and using the word "Allah" in a way deemed disrespectful offends many Muslims.
Ms. Badu is imitating the clothes and decorations of the silent assistant to the alchemist as seen in this trailer to The Holy Mountain.

Table-topping Tuffley too strong for Patchway
Posted: December 10, 2012|
TUFFLEY have a five-point lead at the top of the David Wilson Homes Gloucestershire County League following a day when everything went their way.
While second-placed King's Stanley were not in action, every other side in the top six at the start of the day failed to win as Tuffley came from behind to triumph 3-1 at Patchway.
Matt Davis gave Patchway the lead at the break, but three goals in 20 second-half minutes from Richard James, Mark Ford and Marcus Foxwell turned things around.
Third-placed Southmead are now without a win in five games following their 0-0 draw at home to Henbury, who remain tenth.
Ellwood drop to fourth following their 3-1 reverse at Bristol Academy, who took an early lead through Jordan Lawrence.
Darryl Addis equalised on the half-hour, but Truan Williams restored the home side's advantage just before the break and Alex Fox sealed the victory from the penalty spot.
Rockleaze climbed up to fifth courtesy of their 2-1 win at Hanham, James Pilling scoring twice, while Shaun Morris replied for the hosts.
Frampton are now seventh in the table after a remarkable 5-4 victory in their derby clash with bottom-of-the-table Berkeley, who led 4-0 in the first half.
DRG Frenchay gained another important victory, surviving a Kingswood fightback to gain a 3-2 triumph.
James Kenway's brace and another from Mike Connor gave DRG a three-goal lead, before Adam Eldridge and Josh Stokes hit back for the visitors.
Taverners sink to second-from-bottom following their 1-0 home defeat against Thornbury, Danny Thompson scoring the goal on the half-hour mark.
Yate Reserves, meanwhile, surrendered a two-goal lead inside the last 15 minutes at home to Longlevens.
Jack Parker fired in two penalties for the hosts, but Shaun O'Connor and Ryan Dunn salvaged a point for the Gloucester side.

Comments about Budda Superdrive 45 Series II Amp Head:
It's not one of the sought after brands...but it will be one of the most sought after amps--soon.This amp sounds so good to me. It has that touch response that many don't have. The superdrive 45 is one raging mother! The thing is ,it is built and designed around the characteristics and performance of that type of output tube..the KT66. Sounds like a good old Marshall but with more attitude and sweeter at the same time. With hot pups, this amps simply screams and moans,with single coils it has a very dynamic feel. Utterly awesome amp!Owned everything from early fenders(60's and '70's)to a '68 small top 50 watt marshall to an early '70's ampeg head to many peaveys,mesa's..even a kitty hawk (another great amp)seymour duncan,sound city,traynor,and rolands. THIS AMP KILLS. It's not a metal amp, but if you want robust attack-responsive tone--look no futher.
Comments about Budda Superdrive 45 Series II Amp Head:
Sound Quality : 10 This amp,and its bigger predisessor,have managed to capture two completly different amp tones from the 2 channels.The clean channel reeks of Vox honk and bell-like glaze,and although the amp runs Class AB,a beautifully touch reactive Class A voicing!The lead channel starts at a likewise reactive harmonically dense crunch,to a creamy smooth overdrive.I have found that the 45 seems to have a bit more gain, perhaps because I turn it up when playing live, than the 80,which when turned up, levels all life within 100 yards! Pull the middle control, and the tone gets a bit more edgey and scooped for metal head tone. All in all, I have owned and toured with EVERY amp there is, and Budda is HOME for me. My music ranges from jangly pop melodies and very progressive rock, like the Beatles meet the Dregs and these amps actually seem to inspire better playing and articulation. On the other hand, it also makes your shortcomings audible, so, this amp is not for the schlock. I use predominantly Strats and SG's and the vibe of the amp kicks for humbuckers, but I think, SMOKES Strat versatility
Comments about Budda Superdrive 45 Series II Amp Head:
I don't own it but I've heard 2 guitarists play it. The first was in a pop dance band (but a real good guitarist) the second was in a *hard* rock band.I have a Mesa Boogie Simul Sync V 90 and the Buddha smokes it.
Comments about Budda Superdrive 45 Series II Amp Head:
I bought this baby because I own the 80II,and quite frankly,it is far too loud for any small gigs!The 45 is almost identical except that it adds a tube rectifier as well as the solid state one,and uses KT66 tubes for power,instead of 6L6's.I am a pro fessional guitarist for 30 years,and have owned EVERY amp there is,and the Superdrive 45 is hands down,the most responsive,tonefull(?)and gorgeous sound that I have ever gotten from one amp!It is built like a tank,does everything from sparkle clean,to HUGE fat overdrive.Not for metal,but for any and all pros that are tired of looking for the last link in their search for unparralled tone!

Sweet, or not, sounds of celebration at 6-man football championships
Each time the Richland Springs Coyotes scored a touchdown against the Follett Panthers in the Six-Man Division II state football championship Saturday, a group of fans gathered near one of the end zones at Shotwell Stadium sounded an air horn.
That air horn was blasted for turnovers, good plays and even the beginning of halftime.
"It's annoying on this side of the field, but I bet it sounds like sweet music on the other side," said Byron Deal, 68, of Abilene, who was watching the game from the Panthers side of the stadium.
Deal, who played against the Panthers when he went to high school in the Panhandle city of Darrouzett in the late 1950s, was rooting for the team he once faced on the gridiron.
"Last time I saw this team I was suited up in uniform on the other side," he said.
As Coyotes' lead over the Panthers climbed higher in the third quarter — almost approaching the 45-point mark — Deal admitted he didn't think Follett could win.
"I'm disappointed," he said. "They could come back, but the team they're playing is good."
The Follett players were much bigger than the Richland Springs boys, but seem to be able to catch them before they scurried into the end zone. The 80-by-40 yard field was modified for the 6-man game in which every player blocks, passes, catches and runs.
Bobby Duren, 58, of Mullin, said he likes to watch six-man football because it teaches good technique.
"It's a wide-open game with a lot of open field tackles," Duren said. "It's an individual game."
Duren said he travels annually to Hico, where Texas six-man teams play a handful of games in August. Then he'll wait and watch the teams later in the year to see which got better, which got worse and which are headed to the state championship.
Chuck Slaughter, 58, was sitting on the Panthers side next to Duren. As another Coyotes score was punctuated by the fan air horn, he said, "It's flat invasive. How are you supposed to get away from it?"
Air horn notwithstanding, no one could fault Coyote fans on their team spirit — their side of the stadium was bustling with chants, chatter and cheering as their boys took home the Six-Man Div. II state championship title, 60-14.

swing layout managers and the web..
so another big theme regarding the java desktop track at javaone is layout managers. looks like they're really and finally solving many of the issues that developers have had with layout management in awt/swing.
swing sessions at javaone..
i've been enjoying some of the desktop talks at javaone
this week. with swing, a common theme for a talk is: tips
and tricks to make swing run faster.
I believe I can fly ;-)
On and off over the last few months, I've witnessed and have been a part of a very informal distributed conversation about a logo or mascot for the JUGs community[ies].
Getting to know each other
I've been pleansantly surprised to discover how strong of a bond my JUG affiliation has turned out to be. I have to refrain from the desire to call our community a clan. :-) I feel fortunate to have had the chance to visit various JUG communities in the USA, thanks to my participation in the 'No Fluff Just Stuff' conferences this year.
from "an nfjs weekend in denver" to "the hyperlinks of the mind"
i'm sitting at the terminal of the denver airport, another nfjs weekend behind me. as usual, i'm never let down by these conferences. i get a boost of energy from standing in front of and interacting with my peers. it's fun to hang around people who can understand you when you speak. this reminds me of three things:
"the rate of change" exemplified with gmail
so the world's getting smaller and time's being squeezed, and we all feel like we're a few hundred internet years' old. things don't seem to let up either. the topic of this blog entry is the amazingly short amount of time it took for google mail to become the new defacto email client for the world. only yesterday everyone was using yahoo. now the new game is gmail.
o/x mapping's the word
one of the talks i give on the nfjs symposium is "xml data binding with [dennis sosnoski's most excellent] jibx." well, i've come to the conclusion that i'm tired of repeatedly saying 'xml data binding.' it's a mouthful, it takes too long, and it doesn't help much when i try to relate xml data binding to database data binding.. i mean: o/r mapping.
there's nothing like a little pressure to help me learn something new..
i've been procrastinating learning IDEA for weeks now. the truth is i didn't really have any pressure to. i've been using eclipse 3 since 3 was in M2 i think and that environment was cozy and familiar and productive. well now that i've upgraded my mac to "tiger" and that for some strange reason eclipse is basically hosed..the pressure finally arrived.
business applications development: piecing the puzzle
extreme programming tells us:
don't waste your time building features that you don't even know yet you're going to need
that's so true and many of us have in the past been bit by this tendency to try to
forecast a need.
however, i find that one can look at software application development in general and come
up with a list of infrastructural tasks that are performed repeatedly
tales from colorado jug visits..
in april, i had the pleasure of being invited to speak to the denver and boulder java users groups (colorado). being active in my local jug in austin (texas), the experience was a familiar one. to put it plainly: it was a blast.
for the last three to four years i've been a regular attendee of my jug.

One is notorious for his alleged drug binges and his love of escorts, the other for her hard partying and apparent inability to obey the law. Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan met and bonded on the set of "Scary Movie 5," with Charlie stepping up for Lindsay to help her pay her taxes.
Considering she's spent the last few years in and out of the courtroom, Lindsay can't really say producers are too eager to work with her, which explains why she's now, in her late 20s, working on her comeback.
This, in turn, has prompted plenty of speculation on how she manages to maintain her lifestyle. Some say she's been bankrupt for years, with reports noting that she even owes Uncle Sam a pretty dime.
Luckily, money is the one thing that Charlie Sheen has plenty of, if we're to believe a recent report by TMZ.
The celebrity e-zine claims to have it on very good authority that Sheen personally forked up $100,000 (€77,202) to help Lindsay out of a financial pickle.
"Don't ever say Charlie Sheen's not the charitable type – because he recently cut Lindsay Lohan a $100,000 check to cover the actress' six-figure tax bill... all out of the goodness of his heart, sources tell TMZ," the e-zine writes.
"Sources close to Lindsay tell us she and Charlie became close pals while on the set of 'Scary Movie 5' back in September – spending a lot of time together both on and off the set," the same media outlet notes.
It was then that Lindsay opened to Charlie on her many problems, including an outstanding unpaid tax bill, which he immediately offered to help her pay.
Lindsay refused, TMZ says.
However, this week, she received a check from Sheen himself, to the amount specified above. Lindsay immediately went and handed it over to the IRS, thus cutting her debt in half.
The aforementioned celebrity publication writes that Lohan stands to make $2 million (€1.54 million) by the end of the year, so chances are Sheen will be getting his money back.

Yes, that is that popular argument. In reality, it is the studios casting an older actor for a younger aged character. It always seemed kinda lazy and sometimes sloppy to me. Just find a different actor or in this case, change the age of Nana Visitor's character!
Why change the age of the character? Why is a 26-year-old major hard to accept? That's what I want to know. I expect that anyone involved in the resistance that lived to be over 30 was probably a colonel or a general.
Agreed. And with Bajor in shambles following the Cardassian withdrawal, the provisional government needed as many able persons as possible to fill the ranks of the Militia, IMO. If someone was even half-way competent, they probably made them an officer and
them their ranks depending on their duties.

Are these vga monitors?
Ok, I need to take one video input, from a carputer, and have it go to multiple LCD screens. I dont want the same image on every screen though, I sort of need to 'stretch' the resolution across all the screens, kind of like they do at places that sell lots of TV's. (Best buy, circuit city, etc.). Anyone know what I need?
Well, Best Buy and such would be displaying the same pic on all their TVs, right? Whatever, I think I know what you mean. You want something that can split the signal to create one big screen out of several smaller ones. Like this one.
sfay93: Yeah, it will most likely be VGA monitors.
eCar, thanks for the link. I am looking for something very similar to that i suppose. I am looking to display an image up and down across 4 to 5 7" lcd screens in my car. The screens will be directly underneth the AC vents and I will be displaying a waterfall across all of the screens.

i have seen a controller like that with a security angle i think the url was securityspy.com or something like that
they are known as a signal splitter, normally works with 4 or nine screens to build a video wall
why not mount a lcd projector on the roof of the car and just build a blank white screen under your hvac controls, I presume that the "waterfall" will just be used in static displays ?
I think you could get 4 screens stacked like that, if you had 2 dual head vid cards. One AGP and one PCI.
Hmm, good idea. I like this dual head thing. Going to look into this. Thanks.Originally Posted by eCar

Hawks Shift Focus to Executing In Game 5
With the Pacers winning Game 4 and evening the series at 2 games apiece, the focus shifts to the all important Game 5 in Indiana between them and the Hawks. The winner of Game 5 in first round series' that are tied at 2-2 goes on to win the series 91.3% of the time (42-4 all time; 24-1 higher seed; 18-3 lower seed).
The Hawks maintain that they are a confident group, and have reason to be after taking Game 1 of the series in Indiana with relative ease. The Pacers picked up their intensity in Game 2 — more specifically in the second half of Game 2 — and followed their tenacious defense to a big win. The focal point for the Hawks, and really the difference in their two wins and losses, is on their offensive execution.
After Saturday's game, in which Atlanta was held to 40 second half points, the team pointed to their second half execution, or lack thereof, as the biggest reason for them losing the fourth quarter lead.
"Our execution wasn't where it needed to be, and we'll all work on that and look to improve as we execute down the stretch," Coach Bud said. "Defensively, there are a lot of positives. Both teams hit some tough shots and made some big plays. We just need to get more efficient offensively and get better execution offensively. If we can keep competing like we competed tonight, that's what we're looking for."
"We shot like 35% for the game," Kyle Korver said. "We've got to shoot a little better than that, probably. Also, I don't think we converted on a lot of the fast-breaks that we had. If we had done that, it would've been a little different."
Getting that execution starts with ball movement — the hallmark of the Hawks all season — as they have to get the Pacers defense to rotate to create driving lanes and open shots. Jeff Teague has been the catalyst for that ball movement all season, and has been terrific thus far in the series creating 17.3 points per game off of his 6.5 assists per game — 4th among all players in the playoffs per NBA SportVU Stats.
Where the Hawks need to improve for Game 5 is in the team's collective ball movement. The Hawks were second in the league in assists per game during the regular season (24.9), but during this series are averaging just 17.5 assists per game. Atlanta's shooting struggles have contributed to their lower assist totals — fewer made shots will naturally mean fewer assists — and the Pacers are forcing the Hawks to make plays off the dribble, but even still, the Hawks offense has appeared stagnant in the second halves of their two losses.
During the regular season, five Hawks players averaged 2.9 assists or more, and six had 0.7 secondary assists — passes leading to assists — or higher. Through four games this series, only two players are above those thresholds respectively — Teague and Shelvin Mack in assists and Korver and Pero Antic in secondary assists. Those numbers, particularly the secondary assists, shows that at times the Hawks are struggling to string together multiple passes to lead to a score, something they prided themselves on doing in the regular season.
The final minutes of last night's game was emblematic of the Hawks struggles in their two losses against the Pacers' defense, as they were pressured into turnovers and contested shots. The Hawks have to get back to playing with the pace and intensity they showed in Games 1 and 3, where, led by Teague, they pushed the ball in transition and semi-transition to collapse the Pacers defense and create open looks. In those two games, even when they struggled to make shots, they were able to create open looks off of penetration and ball movement.
Even with the offense's sporadic nature this series, the defensive presence has been tremendous all series — maybe with the exception of the second half of Game 2. As noted in Budenholzer's quote above, the Hawks were pleased with the defensive effort throughout the game last night, and particularly in the final minutes as they gave themselves opportunities to come back. The Pacers' three biggest shots were all difficult shots — Paul George's fading three, David West's three, and George Hill's running, contested scoop layup. The Pacers have been forced to make difficult shots, which at times they have done, but the Hawks have done well to avoid giving Indiana easy shots and dunks that boost their confidence.
Game 5 is crucial for each team, and the deciding factor will likely be which team can execute offensively. For the Hawks, this means moving the Pacers in the half court with pace and ball movement and not allowing the Pacers to dictate the flow and pace. While Atlanta wants to improve on their execution, they are moving on from the Game 4 loss and focusing on the task at hand.
"There is no time or energy or thoughts of what could have been," Coach Bud said. "We just have to move on to the next game."

Honestly, I hate to admit this, but I'm one of lazy people that goes to the deli and buys it, or eats it if someone else makes it. I didn't realize this was for black soybeans. Actually, I never thought about what bean goes in there, but it's definitely a small roundish black bean, that you can find in any Korean market. If you have seen adzuki beans, I think they're about the same size.
the lone english recipe for kong jang (soy sauce marinated black beans)
there's a lot of subtle variations in the Korean recipes but I don't have the time to translate them.
one with pics (korean though)
