Chairman: The President, Mr. Eric F. Thompson
Thursday, October 25, 1945
MR. THOMPSON: Gentlemen of the Empire Club of Canada also our unseen radio audience, we are privileged to have with us today one of Northern Canada's pioneers, our guest of honour having been a member of the original expedition to the Canadian Far North in 1922.
In the last two decades there have been great developments in this North Country of ours by men of courage and vision-These men are the true pioneers, worthy successors to their ancestors who laid the foundations of our nationhood.
With the establishment of the Mission fields, the finding of oil, the advent of the Aeroplane and the discovery of iranium, Canada's Great North country is coming more and more into prominence.
We are to hear about this fascinating land and it's people from one who has lived there continuously for a quarter of a century. He established the first medical service for the Eskimos in Baffinland also at Chesterfield 'Inlet, Hudson's Bay, later moving to the ewster artic where he consolidated the medical services over a wide area.
On returning to his native Ontario in 1944, he became a member of the Medical Staff, Department of Indian Affairs, being stationed at The Lady Willingdon Hospital in Ohsweken, Ontario.
It is with the greatest of pleasure that I introduce to you Dr. Leslie D. Livingstone, M.D., C.M., who is a direct descendant of the Livingstone clan--a sept of the Royal Stuarts of Scotland--and named after his forbear, Dr. David Livingstone the famous missionary to Africa.
The subject of our speaker's address is "25 Years Amongst the Eskimos".
Gentlemen--Dr. Livingstone.
DR. LESLIE D. LIVINGSTONE: Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Empire Club.
I wish to extend to you my appreciation of the honour of being asked to speak to you today, and I will endeavour to give you some idea of the Northland and the native inhabitants and my work among them.
I landed in North Baffin Land on the 18th of August, 1922, and there for the first time was introduced to the most primitive of the Eskimo. They were a dirty rather unkempt lot, the men with long lanky hair topped by tam o'shanters handed down to them by Scottish whalers. The women were short and squat, invariably, whether married or single, carrying small children in their hoods. They were all more or less garbed in sealskins which was the staple source of clothing. Their clothing was supplemented by such imported articles as they could purchase from traders or whalers.
This was practically their first introduction to the practice of medicine, although unknown to many of the medical profession Conan Doyle had been a residential doctor aboard a whaling expedition some thirty years previous to my introduction to the country; and also there is the story of Sir John Ross in 1825, fitting an Eskimo with a wooden leg.
Due to the non-productiveness of the country little vegetation of medicinal value was produced, with the result that unlike the Indians the Eskimo had next to no pharmacopial drugs. 'Shaumism" or witchcraft had been practised and still is in some parts.
The Eskimo have not been in the Arctic from prehistoric times, in fact when the Norsemen under Leif Ericsson landed in Greenland in 984 and later explored the Eastern coast of North America as far South as the Southernmost New England States, no Eskimo had reached these shores on their trek from Asia, and it was not until several hundred years later that they reached the Coast of Southern Greenland.
It is rather interesting to note that the Danish Government in their investigation of the complete annihilation of the Norse colony established in Greenland in 185 was traced through two sources: one, the excavation of their graves; and the other the sagas of the Eskimo folk-lore which has been handed down verbally for hundreds of years. The aboriginal Eskimo had no writing and all this folk-lore was passed on through generations by songs and stories. The story of the annihilation of the remnants of the Norse colony procured through the excavation of the graves, showed that these supermen through vitamin deficiency had deteriorated into an inferior people with tuberculosis rife among them. The Eskimo sagas showed that the remnants of the colonies were killed off by the Eskimo who drifted in in skin umiaks covered with white fox skins to simulate ice. They chased the emaciated scorbutic rickety remnants into a stone church where they were all slaughtered.
These same Norsemen contributed their tithes to the furtherance of the wars of the Crusades with Richard I, but following the Crusades during the next two centuries there was no contact with the West Greenland coast and when the ships returned in the fourteenth century no living soul remained, nothing but the walls of their stone churches and their cemeteries.
Eskimo stories were the source of entertainment during the long periods of Winter darkness, some of them being so long as to take a whole evening to relate. They were all mythical, linking up humans and animals. One of these which I think is typical and which has been told to me by natives throughout the Arctic, from Cape Farewell on the southern tip of Greenland to Behring Strait, with slight variation, is as follows.
A young Eskimo, unmarried, was out caribou hunting. He found it quite hard after hunting all day to have to cook his own meals and keep his tent clean. After several days hunting he realized that work around the tent was being done by someone with a feminine touch but he never could locate the person doing this. Eventually he arranged a series of zig-zag rock piles, "innossok", or blinds for deer-hunting. In the evening by means of these blinds he approached the tent and there saw the parka, or coat, of a fox-woman who had been doing this work for him. Knowing that a fox could not go without her skin, he made a wild dash and seized the parka hanging on a tent-pole. Without her skin she was helpless and looking for a wife as he was, the possession of the skin was sufficient to procure him one. The conversation was about like this
The woman said, "Give me back my skin."
The man replied, "You be my wife and I'll give you back your skin."
Foxes of course are very timid animals and knowing; this the man treated her accordingly. They lived happily and when winter came along they moved from their skin tent on the land to the salt-water ice and a snow house, travelling by dog-team.
The natives visit from settlement to settlement which might be several hundred miles apart. Once a native and his wife travelling spent the night at this man's camp and, according to an old Eskimo custom which has been carried on for hundreds of years, the visitor suggested the swapping of wives. This was satisfactory except that the fox woman was timid and the visitor was a wolverine, which animal slaughters foxes. He agreed to the proposition so long as the man closed every crack in the snow house as otherwise she would escape. This man was a careless fellow and left two or three loopholes open, through one of which she escaped and in the morning was gone. He was much exercised over the loss of his wife, so he hitched up his dog team and dashed after her, following her tracks in the snow. The tracks ended abruptly at an enormous snow igloo which was sealed tightly. He called to the people inside, telling them he had lost his wife and thought she was there. Someone cut a small hole through the wall and shoved out first a raven, then various birds and animals, asking whether this was his wife. There was a complete story of the habits of each of these animals or birds, so you can imagine how long this would take to relate. Eventually they informed the man that they could not locate his wife, but allowed him to enter the snow house under the consideration that he close his eyes, which he agreed to do. He was so eager to recover his wife, however, that after getting in he opened his eyes, and the snow house collapsed and everyone, including his wife, disappeared.
That is typical of one of the stories which the Eskimos handed down through generations.
The Padlemuits, probably the most primitive of all Eskimo, lived on the west coat of Hudson Bay. These people are called caribou-eaters, living inland and subsisting entirely on caribou. They are devoid of any fuel, with the exception of the small willows called "padlee." They live in elaborate snow houses during the winter and, without fire, eat everything raw, mostly caribou, of course. The adults eat ice 'or snow and the women carry small waterproof birdskin bags which they tie around their necks, filled with snow or ice each morning when travelling. By evening this is melted and supplies an adequate water supply for the children.
The original expedition in 1922 was arranged in order to send in a number of police to occupy the Island of Ellesmere. A year previously the Department had organized the expedition under the- command of Captain Pickles, who died before sailing time, resulting in the expedition being postponed until the following year. It was then put under the charge of Captain Bernier, and the Medical Officer engaged had disappeared. He was the man who had made the trip to the Antarctic with Shackleton, and the Department being unable to locate him, gave me the appointment, and this was my initiation in 1922 to the "Arctic" and Captain Bernier. There was some question at the time of the previously planned sailing as to dropping police and supplies by parachute but it didn't seem feasible and was abandoned.
The "Arctic" the ship we used, was a three-masted government with the original intention of making a trip to the North Pole. Sir Wilfred Laurier engaged Captain Bernier to make this trip but in the meantime survey work was required in the Hudson Bay area and Dr. A. P. Low, doing this work, was transported into Hudson Bay and supplied by the "Arctic".
Later the ship under the same command went into the Far North, spending several years in North Baffin and Melville Islands. During the first World War the ship was laid up and reconditioned and from 1922 to 1926 carried on the Departmental survey and supply work. This included the establishment of several Mounted Police posts including one at Craig Harbour, one at Boche Peninsula, one in Northern Baffinland at Ponds Inlet and one at Dundas Harbour on North Devon Island; Pongnirtung in Southern Baffin Island, and Lake Harbour on Hudson Straits. Most of these police posts are beyond the Eskimo area, as there are no Eskimo farther North than Baffin Land. At one time there had been the remains of the oldstorehouses right across the coast to Greenland, which at that time they lived in. Apparently the original Eskimo that came from Asia one thousand years ago did not know what a snow horse was, it was only after they had been in Canada quite a long time they started using snow houses.
In 1926, my Department, as the "Arctic" was not large enough by this time to carry all supplies needed, chartered the "Beothic", a sealing steamer from St. Johns, Newfoundland. This ship was specially built for ice and was used for several years. Then in 1932 the Hudson's Bay took over the transport, and since that time the "Nascopie", a steamer built for ice, has been used.
Prior to my first trip into the Arctic, abdominal surgery was unknown although the natives themselves were quite adept in superficial cutting. During my early years there; there was no hospital or nursing facilities, arid any work carried out was done with the assistance of natives themselves, Mounted Police and Hudson's Bay Company personnel and the Missionaries. During one of my first trips by dog team to the east coast of Baffiin, I encountered a very sick boy with acute pain in the abdomen, vomiting and a temperature of 102, a typical case of appendicitis. I carried with me such surgical supplies as required for operative purposes including knives, scissors and sutures, and I also carried a supply of chloroform for anaesthesia.
The work was done in a snow igloo under low temperature. I had a quart or so of alcohol which is' used for lighting primus stoves, and this I used for sterlizing purposes, using about a square yard of oil silk, dipped into this alcohol for sterilization purposes, as a laparotamy sheet. The anaesthetic of chloroform was given by myself and carried on during the operation by an Eskimo woman, the mother. The operative table was a snow bench covered with seal and caribou skins and the light was supplied by two candles one of which was held by my dog driver who, although he could work in seal or whale blood to his shoulders, could not stand the sight of human blood and fainted, falling to the floor and extinguishing the light he held.
I left the following day, leaving instructions and dressings with the natives. Two years later when I returned the boy, by this time almost a man, reported to me, very proudly exhibiting his scar, his mother informing me he had remained in bed only four days after the operation. The sutures where removed by her at the end of eight days, as instructed.
Travel, especially in the East coast of Baffin Land, was by dog team in Winter, and boats in Summer. Most travel is actually done during Winter, and on salt water ice. The average dog team in that area would be from 8 to 15 to 18 dogs. The native sled is a long narrow sled about less than two feet in width and anywhere from ten to 20 feet in length. Everything is carried on the sled and piled on and lashed on for the rough ice, and dog feed is hunted as the natives travel.
Baffin Land, especially the southwest corner, is very great game country, especially seal. Seal is really the staple food of the Eskimo. It is used also for clothing and especially for fuel. The seal oil is burned in what they call a "koodluk" a stone pot, and the wick is made of a mixture of Arctic heather, Arctic poppies and some seal oil rubbed together into a mush, and the amount of heat required is regulated by the length of the fire they make along the side of this "koodluk". A small house cannot take very much heat, otherwise it will melt, or drip at least, and probably fall down.
I went to the Western Arctic in 1938, where I carried on medical services already established there. I had two hospitals, with adequate nursing facilities which served an area of several thousand square miles with an approximate population of 1,000 Eskimo and 600 Louchoux Indians. During my six and a half years there, with the assistance of several competent nurses, I completed a large amount of surgical work, including approximately 600 tonsilectomies alone.
I might say here that both the Indian and Eskimo have very large tonsile which fill up their throats, and when the chidren came to school they were all examined and any of them that had enlarged tonsils, they were removed.
Transportation is by dog team, boat and airplane, and serious cases of illness are transported mostly by 'plane.
The two hospitals at Aklavik cater to a vast area extending along the Arctic coast as far as King William's Land. It was here, off the coast of this island, in 1848 the Sir John Franklin expedition perished. This included the loss of two ships and some one hundred men. There yeas not a single soul left.
Education is carried on by residential schools, two of which we had at Aklavik each with an attendance of between 85 and 90. The children of both Eskimo and Indians are brought here from long distances. At the present time practically all these children can talk, read and write, in English, although 'few of the older natives can.
It was quite a difference from I would say 20 years ago the Eskimo in the East coast, very few could speak English at all, and although they were educated, they could read and write their own language, using the syllabic taught to them by Mr. Peck, missionary in there many years before my time. I remember Major Lockie Burwash, Department Explorer, saying, although only 5% of the Eskimos were taught to read and write by white teachers, at the time of his sojourn there 95% of the people could read and write. It was handed down the same as their stories from mother to child.
I have a letter here which is rather interesting, written 'by a boy since I came out. He was educated at the school at Aklavik. Bishop Fleming could no doubt tell you he knows this boy; he was at the school for several years, he had some hip trouble. (Reading letter)
"Dear Dr. Livingstone: I am in the hospital again because Dr. Hayward said that my chest is not very good. I am sorry to tell you that the old black cow died and one of the calves. I don't know how long I am going to stay and there are seven of us in the room. There are four cows left. Buttercup was getting along fine before I came here. My guitar and Alvin's parcel came on the last boat. Alvin's skiis, sled and his jacket came but not his harp, and my ball and bat came. Before I came I was snaring rabbits and I set a trap near the barn door and next morning when I got there one rabbit was in it. Just as I was about to take it out it gave a big jerk and left one of its toes behind and I started to chase it but it was too fast, and as I was chasing it I stopped and looked and there was a rabbit hanging on the fence with a trap. It had been trying to jump over and it got tangled in the fence. I got five rabbits that morning.
"I must close my letter now, and I am wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and I hope to see you again some day. Goodbye for now, from Harry Kigiona."
They are all taught now to read and write English.
The natives in general utilize everything the country will produce. Seals supply clothing, food, fuel, covering for boats, dog harness and tents. These are taken every month of the year along the coast. During the Summer and Fall the natives migrate inland to hunt caribou the skin of which is essential for Winter clothing. Polar bears and foxes are also used at times for clothing and those Eskimo in the northern part of Greenland, especially, use both bears and foxes.
At the present time the Department of Mines and Resources are developing quite a large herd of reindeer. These were brought from Alaska and are established on the mainland about 100 miles east of Aklavik. Eskimo are used as herders, and these deer are used to supply the needs of the natives for food and clothing. At the present time there are about 10,000 deer.
After my arrival at Aklavik I imported a Jersey cow and found out that cattle could easily be kept there. Later I built a barn of local timber, cleared and fenced some land, and imported more cattle. When I left there a year ago I had twelve head but the labour problem became so acute that I had to slaughter them:
Oats, barley and dye were grown for fodder and matured quickly. Grain planted about the twentieth of June was ripened by the twentieth of August. This rapid growth of course was due to the perpetual sunlight. Wild hay was abundant and with tractor and farm machinery, was easily harvested. Cattle remained in the barn from the first of November until the first of May, but during the Summer grazed on the luxuriant grass. The milk was used in the hospitals, schools and restaurants.
In the twenty-five years from the first introduction of medicine to the natives, until the present time, there have been vast changes. It is a long step from the time of no hospitals at ail to well-equipped hospitals with X-ray and even iron lungs; and from slow transportation by dog team to the airplane.
Last year I flew from Aklavik to Edmonton, a distance of 2,000 miles in eleven hours, which, on going in seven years previous I went by boat, took me about four weeks.
I might say this was the first Summer that I have spent outside the Arctic since 1920-21.
Thank you.

Up to 20 beached whales moved to deeper water off Florida
EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, Fla. - Wildlife officials say as many as 20 pilot whales in danger of stranding in Florida's Everglades National Park are swimming into deeper water.
Blair Mase of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday that a Coast Guard helicopter spotted the two pods of whales swimming several miles north of their previous location. The whales were in about 12 feet of water.
Mase tells reporters that wildlife workers plan to try using noise such as banging on pipes and revving boat engines to herd the whales out to the open ocean Thursday.
At least 10 whales have died since the mass stranding was discovered Tuesday.
Six died before they could be nudged off the sand; four more had to be euthanized.
"Some of the individuals are very close to death, and medically, it's the most humane thing to do, particularly if they can't be rescued," James Powell, executive director of the Sea to Shore Alliance, told "CBS This Morning."
Short-finned pilot whales are common in the warm, deep waters of the Gulf, reported correspondent Anna Werner. The highly social marine mammals are usually found swimming in tightly-knit pods of 20 to 50 animals.
"They are very, very reluctant to leave some of their members behind," Powell told CBS News. "And they will stay there, even to, as a consequence, that they become sunburned, dehydrated, starve, and eventually die themselves."
This particular species is notorious for mass strandings in Florida.
In 2012, 22 pilot whales beached themselves at Fort Pierce. Another 21 were stranded on Cudjoe Key in 2011. Most of the whales in those incidents did not survive.

Since table games opened in Pennsylvania in 2010, a stream of bus traffic from New York City has given the Sands casino in Bethlehem some of the busiest tables in the nation.
Now there's a major threat on the horizon, or more to the point, across the New Jersey border. Hard Rock International and the Meadowlands Racetrack unveiled plans Wednesday for a $1 billion casino at the East Rutherford horse-racing complex, next to the stadium where the NFL's New York Jets and Giants play.
While New Jersey officials have been focused on what that might do to an already-struggling Atlantic City gambling market, gaming experts say the impact on Sands could be just as big.
It would likely end the $800 million casino's four-year run as statewide table games king.
"A large portion of Sands players would have to drive past a Meadowlands casino to get to Bethlehem," said Chris Jones, managing director of equity research in North America for Union Gaming Group, Las Vegas. "If they're talking about a full-scale casino, it would take a sizable pound of flesh from Sands. There's no getting around that."
Plans to end New Jersey's 37-year ban on gambling outside Atlantic City gained momentum this week when lawmakers introduced a bill that would give voters in November a chance to approve three casinos in the northern New Jersey counties of Bergen, Essex and Hudson. Such talk has been quickly squashed in past years, but this time it appears to have wider support because state revenues from Atlantic City are withering and advocates say as much as $200 million a year from the new casinos could be used to help the struggling city.
Meadowlands Racetrack President Jeff Gural wasted no time in seizing the opportunity, unveiling plans for the casino just two days after the bill was introduced. And he made no secret of where he plans to get his customers.
"We want to bring people back from Bethlehem, bringing back the people in northern New Jersey who now go to Aqueduct or Yonkers," Gural said, referring to the Sands casino and casinos in Queens and Yonkers, N.Y., during a news conference Wednesday.
Sands officials have said that as much as 50 percent of their table games players come from New York and New Jersey. Sands President Mark Juliano declined to comment Wednesday on the Hard Rock proposal.
Steve Norton, a casino analyst who was vice president of New Jersey's first casino when Resorts International opened in 1978, predicted two-thirds of the Meadowlands casino's revenues would come from Pennsylvania and New York.
The casino would have 200 table games and 5,000 slot machines. A giant guitar would dominate its entrance, so highly illuminated that it would be "a beacon in the nighttime," Hard Rock CEO Jim Allen said.
Atlantic City leaders have opposed every attempt at legislation expanding casino gambling beyond its borders. Last year, four of the city's 12 casinos shut down, and gambling revenue has been falling steadily for eight years, even without in-state competition.
The casino would pay a 55 percent tax rate on its slot winnings, compared with the 8 percent Atlantic City's casinos pay. Table games taxes have not yet been worked out.
Gural and Allen say their casino could generate $400 million to $500 million a year in tax revenue for the state. Part of that could include the state issuing tax-exempt bonds backed by money from the casino's licensing fees that would provide up to $3 billion in infrastructure improvements to Atlantic City, Allen said. Another possibility is dedicating a portion of annual casino winnings, determined by the state, to help Atlantic City.
Sands, arguably Pennsylvania's most successful casino, would get nothing but new competition. With the second highest slot machine revenues and easily the highest table games revenues in the state, it pulled in $457 million in revenue last year, generating more than $250 million in state taxes.
"There's no way of knowing what impact this will have, but we'll be keeping an eye on it," Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board spokesman Richard McGarvey said. "The operators in Pennsylvania will just have to adapt. They've done a pretty good job so far."
Jones suggested that its impact on the $277 million in slot machine revenues Sands had last year would be moderate to minimal. That's largely because there are already slot machine casinos at Yonkers Raceway and Aqueduct Racetrack in New York. Sands doesn't offer those slot machine players any games they can't get in New York.
Where Sands has hit the jackpot is with table games such as blackjack, roulette and craps. The New York casinos don't have tables and Sands is just a 90-minute bus ride for players in that market. The next closest place for those players is Atlantic City, more than two hours away.
As a result, Sands rakes in $15 million a month at the tables, easily outpacing the $10 million brought in by second-place Parx in Bucks County. With the help of more than 50 busloads per day from Asian neighborhoods in Flushing, Chinatown and Brooklyn, Sands has built one of the busiest tables games rooms east of Las Vegas.
Those players would be fewer than 25 miles from a Meadowlands casino. And there's a potential that casino could be one of three new ones closer to New York City than Sands.
It's unclear how much a Meadowlands casino would cut into Sands, but there is some precedent.
The Empire City Casino opened at Yonkers in 2010 and Resort World opened at Aqueduct in 2011. Both slots-only casinos are strategically placed to poach customers that were traveling not only to Atlantic City but also to the Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos in Connecticut.
Since peaking with combined revenues of $3.2 billion in 2007, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun revenues have fallen 40 percent, prompting the casinos to lay off nearly 9,000 of their 23,000 workers. Some of that can be blamed on the Great Recession, but records show the decline accelerated after Empire City and Resort World opened. Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun each has lost about 20 percent of its slot machine revenues since 2010.
Jones said the $800 million invested by Sands in Bethlehem will help cushion some of the blow.
"It's still got a hotel, a shopping mall and a concert venue to help draw people in, and I believe they've built a strong clientele in the Asian community that will still come," Jones said. "This will have an impact, but it won't be a death blow. Sands knows what it's doing. It will survive this."
It remains unclear whether "this" will happen. Though support for the bill appears to be building, most South Jersey legislators oppose it. If the referendum question is to make it on the November ballot, the bill would have to pass by Aug. 3.

Have you been hearing all the rage about essential oils? At first, I was skeptical – didn't know what this hocus pocus was all about. I did my own research, read up on a lot of articles and realized all the toxins and chemicals my family was inhaling and using on their bodies daily. YUCK! I took my families health into my own hands by getting rid of all toxins and chemicals out of our house and started using essential oils for just about everything (mostly because I didn't want to give my daughter medication) I bought the Young Living starter kit first to test it out and see which oils I liked. (and because the starter kit is the best bang for your buck) I couldn't believe how well they worked. I used the oils myself and tested them on our family for an entire year before getting into and becoming a distributor for Young Living. I love that my daughter has never had to use medication before and I love knowing that I am using only natural products on her. Young Living is most pure, seed to seal essential oils you can get and well worth every penny.

text: For years, paleontologists have wondered: Did the fierce Tyrannosaurus rex eat its own? A 66-million-year-old fossil unearthed in eastern Wyoming provides some of the strongest evidence yet that it did, researchers say. The fossil—a tyrannosaur leg bone fragment the size of a human forearm—is scarred with deep grooves left by a large meat-eater as it tore flesh from the ancient carcass. One of the grooves is particularly telling because it contains tiny channels left by tooth serrations called denticles. Those channels rule out smooth-toothed predators like crocodiles, instead pointing to bipedal meat-eating dinosaurs called theropods. And since the only large theropods known to be living then in the region—T. rex and Nanotyrannus lancensis—both belong to the tyrannosaur subgroup, the evidence bolsters the idea that tyrannosaurs were, in some cases, cannibals. Presenting next week at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Baltimore, Maryland, the researchers report that the spacing of the grooves, approximately three every 2 millimeters, strongly suggests that the meat-eater was a large animal, probably larger than the victim. It's not clear whether the groove-maker killed the victim or merely scavenged its bones, but the shape of the grooves clearly suggests the victim was dead when the tooth marks were made.

Friday was a great day! We met Paul and Mary in Fort St John, had a coffee and started for Fort Nelson. It was a gentle 3 hour drive to the campground. We chose the Westend RV Campground, as it was treed and a bit more like camping than a parking lot.
Along the way, at Milepost 135, we saw our first true glance at the farthest north Rockies we have encountered. Very impressive.
I have also attached a photo of the sunset the night before.
Days are already long here. Hard to know when to go to bed and when to get up.
We met some nice folks in the campground. Carl and Carolanne from Ontario, and Anna and Holger from Germany.
No campfire but lots of good food and drink took place. Kind of strange, we are all following the same routes and destinations, and have booked the same campground in Dawson City for the summer solstice party!
Have a great day, we shall touch base tomorrow morning, internet allowing!

It sometimes takes a different approach for someone (like me) to realise how amazing and utterly astounding this life really is and how dependent we are (and should be) on God.
Author, Presenter & Co Founder of GOD TV, Wendy Alec has presented our relationship with God from the beginning of time to the present day in such a way that, I believe, should be taught in Sunday school and every school, so that we can get a genuine handle on the Christian faith.

I seemed to have a bit of a block when it came to actually studying the Bible.
I had read it twice, cover to cover and was becoming familiar with it, knowing where certain scripture was and even how to apply it in my life, but getting to the point of actually wanting to study the Bible seemed to be something a bit distant.
Until I read the twelve Left Behind books.
In June 2013 I purchased the book How to Study the Bible for Yourself - All I can say is WOW...

This season has been filled with a multitude of starts, false starts and changes of direction for me – me searching for a secret that I thought I was missing (but in truth I had). If you've read my blog with any regularity over the years or months – you'll have seen the last few months contain a few themes: a lack of posting and confusion. That same period of time has seen me race with mixed results, train with a variety of different approaches, with building level of frustration and mixed acceptance of the situation.
However while my mind was busy over analyzing the situation, questioning myself, and trying to determine the proper path – my body was busy doing what was asked of it, even when too much was asked – it stepped up and offered all that it could – waiting.
Waiting for me to mentally come full circle, process the lessons of the last 6 months and realize this isn't complicated. Work is required. Rest is required. How much, when you do it, and how you do it are unimportant.
A few weeks ago I watched Mark Allen speak, I was struck by a comment of his (paraphrasing) – "Hellriegal was 4 mintues in front of me with 8 miles to go, I had made up 30 seconds per mile until this point. I knew I couldn't outsprint him, so I was ready to quit. Than I realized that I was waiting for a billboard on the Queen K to say "Mark, if you give 100% right now – you will win."" Life doesn't have those sorts of guarantees, let alone personalized billboards with the message you need – when you need it…
Once I was ready to turn my mind off and committed to the work and the process, my body was ready. Yesterday it told me it was. It kept the faith.

Lefty Hoerst
Frank Joseph Hoerst
- Bats Left, Throws Left
- Height 6' 3", Weight 192 lb.
- School LaSalle University
- High School Northeast High School (Philadelphia)
- Debut April 26, 1940
- Final Game September 21, 1947
- Born August 11, 1917 in Philadelphia, PA USA
- Died February 18, 2000 in Maple Shade, NJ USA
Biographical Information[edit]
Frank "Lefty" Hoerst was a star basketball player at LaSalle University before joining the Philadelphia Phillies in 1940. He played with the club until 1947, missing three seasons while serving in the Navy during World War II, where he served as a gunnery officer. After his playing career ended, he returned to LaSalle as their baseball coach.
An elderly Hoerst good naturedly liked to say, he would rather have lost 20 than 16 (he was 5th in losses with 16 in 1942). The reason: he would be famous.
His first major league victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates nearly caused a riot. He was known as the "Dodger Killer" in 1941 because 2 of his 3 wins were against the World Series bound Brooklyn Dodgers.
He was a standard fastball pitcher with a fair curveball who could not find the plate.
The day he was ready to go away to join the Navy, he was given a "Frank Hoerst" day. He pitched against the St. Louis Cardinals. He could not get anyone out.
On September 2, 1942, he pitched a two-hitter that he managed to lose by walking four batters in the 8th inning. The relief pitcher then managed to hit the next two batters.
Hoerst said that nobody taught him anything while he was with the Phillies except for his close friend "Losing Pitcher" Hugh Mulcahy. After leaving the majors, he spend 9 years in the minors and then went to work for a brewery. He became a basketball referee for almost 20 years in high school, college and the NBA.
Hoerst said he was the worst pitcher he ever saw. He might be right.

It may have been deep, but meaningful? Doubt it.

Where I work we put both sexes in the drunk tank we have someone watching them but they do get roudy with eachother verbally
..I'm a little misty-eyed..... :D
Just fun drunk sex.
This could very well be a guy and a girl... It's called multiple drunk tanks, they probly just left together

Can you believe there's only 2 days left in 2015?!
If you're like me, this week has been a time of reflection. I'm taking inventory on all the blessings and the challenges I experienced in 2015.
As sure as I know anything, I know life brings with it, joy and pain. If your 2015 wasn't what you imagined or hoped it would be, I have a message of encouragement and action for you. Let's end this year on a high note… reminding ourselves of Galatians 6:7,9 "Don't be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant…So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up."
I talked about the role of sowing and reaping in waiting on God's promises in detail during the Woman2Woman livestream.

There's more to come in 2016! See you on the other side. Happy New Year!

You'll find Randy J. Regan of Bethel in the parking lot of Bethel Woods Center for the Arts by about 3 p.m. or so Tuesday.
You'll find Randy J. Regan of Bethel in the parking lot of Bethel Woods Center for the Arts by about 3 p.m. or so Tuesday.
He'll connect with his friend Hal from New Hampshire, whom he met in 2009 at a Dave Matthews Band concert in Hartford, Conn.
"We've been meeting ever since for tailgating purposes," says Regan.
The 25-year-old will be in his concert attire — shorts, T-shirt and sandals — sans any band branding. He'll have a couple of beers and play washers against a backdrop of Dave music he labels as that "jam band kind of thing."
"Right before I walk into the concert, I always listen to a live version of 'The Dreaming Tree.'"
Tuesday will be the Dave Matthews Band's fourth appearance at Bethel Woods, and the fourth time Regan has seen them there, too, although he's been at another 31 or so of their concerts in multiple states.
"Having them in your backyard is definitely a plus. And Bethel is the most beautiful venue, hands down," says Regan, who lives about five miles away. "Most of the other venues are cookie-cutter, with half the lawns missing."
And he knows his lawns. The first two times he held Bethel lawn tickets.
"It's relaxed, the sound is good, and you don't have to worry about bothering the person behind you if you stand up," he says, recalling 2010, when he attended with 60 friends and family members.
"It's a diverse audience. Some of the original fans are in their 40s and bringing their little kids or their younger brothers and sisters in their 20s and 30s," says Regan, whose girlfriend and mother will be accompanying him again this year.
"We love the Dave Matthews Band here. They're perfect with the site. Their fans have as much fun at the show as they do," says Matt McNeil Sr., director of marketing and programming at Bethel Woods, who points to the Pollstar designation of Dave as the top touring act of the 2000s. "Their widespread popularity translates well with us. We typically sell out."
McNeil attributes DMB's grass-roots Internet marketing strategy with quickly launching it out of the opening-band slot.
"They were one of the early bands that embraced their fan base online ... encouraging fans to come, record shows and share with their friends online. They were ahead of the curve," says McNeil.
Regan has a recording of every show he's attended, treasuring the tunes he describes as forever changing but remaining relatable with an uplifting message. This year, Regan is also expecting to hear some new versions of their older songs.
"It's incredible. They've never done the same playlist twice," he says. "There are some songs they've only played two or three times, and I've been there. That's pretty cool."

EU: Tanzanian government pressure on its envoy forced his recall to Brussels - statement
NAIROBI (Reuters) – The European Union said on Thursday it was launching a comprehensive review of its policies towards Tanzania and would resume dialogue with authorities there once it was complete.
In a statement from EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, the bloc's member states said they were concerned about the recent political situation in Tanzania, citing restrictions on the media and political parties and threats against LGBTI people.
The announcement comes after Denmark said it had suspended nearly $10 million worth of aid money to the East African nation on the same day the World Bank said it had scrapped a plan to loan Tanzania $300 million after the country reaffirmed its policy of banning pregnant girls from school and made it a crime to question official statistics.
The EU said that pressure from the Tanzanian government on its ambassador forced his departure and return to Brussels, as deteriorating rights and freedoms in the East African nation come under fire from western donors.
"This unprecedented attitude is not in line with the long established tradition of bilateral dialogue and consultation between the two parties, which the EU deeply regrets," the bloc said in a statement.
Earlier this month, the EU recalled its envoy in Tanzania and said it was going to review its relations with the country in response to the announcement of a planned crackdown there on homosexuality.

text: Get to Know Justin Bieber, Bob Dylan and LeBron James' Go-To Hat Designer 9:46 AM PDT 6/14/2016 by Jane Carlson FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Getty Images Nick Fouquet - Getty - H 2016 The model-turned-designer talks about summer trends, inspiration and how Pharrell sent his career into "turbo speed." Nick Fouquet is quickly becoming one of the most recognizable names in California fashion, with a fan base ranging from supermodel Gigi Hadid and basketball icon LeBron James, to music stars like Justin Bieber, Madonna and Bob Dylan. The former model (he starred in Ralph Lauren and Levi's ads) designs toppers beloved by the Venice Beach crowd that have a distinct, deconstructed look with a trademark matchstick found on all his creations. He steams, sands and takes fire to raw materials before adding leather or other decorative pieces to the hat. We caught up with the New York-born, France-raised designer while he was hosting an intimate soiree at his cozy indoor-outdoor Venice studio for tequila brand, Maestro Dobel Tequila. Fouquet, an ambassador for the smoked silver tequila company, says he wanted to get involved with the brand because of the similarities he saw in both of their products. "Humito is known for its heritage, craftsmanship and innovation and the process of distilling this special tequila had a lot of parallels with what I do with my craft." Pret-a-Reporter: What made you want to become a hat designer? Fouquet: Initially, it was an accident. I had never dreamt of taking on this profession, I think it took me on. I was passionate about the lost art of it and the process. I love sewing machines and industrial machine equipment. So when I realized steam and fire were involved I was really intrigued. The passion became an obsession. It just seems now that it's what I was destined to do. What is the most popular hat style with your celebrity clients? It really depends. The styles for celebrity clientele are as diverse as their characters and personalities. It really depends on the artist themselves. A photo posted by Nick Fouquet (@nickfouquet) on Nov 9, 2015 at 11:31am PST What is the difference between a West Coast and East Coast shopper of your brand? Do they like different styles, or colors? Honestly, there is not a big difference. They're into the same aesthetic and vibe. That's what is so cool — they just get it and don't ask too many questions. It's an experience. Is there a stand-out moment for you of a celebrity wearing one of your designs on the red carpet? Yes, I mean looking back on it today, it was when Pharrell wore one of my hats at the Grammys with Daft Punk and Stevie Wonder. I remember thinking, "Is this for real?" That's the moment when things went turbo speed. What do you think are the new hat trends for summer? I don't really follow trends so I wouldn't know, but what I'm doing is a lot of experimenting with resin and dead flowers and natural straw colors with frayed ends. A photo posted by Nick Fouquet (@nickfouquet) on Apr 25, 2016 at 5:44pm PDT Where do you get inspiration from? Everywhere. Traveling is huge for me, just opening my eyes and taking in everything like a sponge. Otis Redding songs, old films, nature. Not to sound cliche, but everything and anything. Who are a few of the other designers you look up to or respect in the fashion industry? The Elder Statesman, Dries Van Noten, Ralph Lauren, Kapital, Greg Lauren, Thom Browne ... the list goes on. Any plans to expand the brand into other accessories? Yeah. I'm working on a top-secret project I'm very excited about. It's out of left field and I like to keep my clients and audience on their toes … FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Jane Carlson email@example.com @thr

Combining school year knowledge with teamwork and community improvement, students at the North Bennet Street School and Madison Park Carpentry and Locksmithing Program utilize hands-on learning to build much more than just construction projects.
The program, a new partner of the Boston Summer Learning Community this year, invites students from the Madison Park Technical Vocational High School to expand upon their school year knowledge of carpentry and locksmithing skills. As they gain real-world job experience, students are adding to their portfolios and learning teamwork and communication—all things that and contribute to academic, personal, and professional growth.
"For this program we're trying to mimic what a job site might look like as best we can," Katie Theodoros, Director of Continuing Education at the North Bennet Street School, said. In a typical day, students receive instruction in the morning from Brian, the North Bennet Street School full-time carpentry teacher. Together, they set goals for their work and learn math skills that will be applicable later in their day of experiential learning, such as measurement and volume, as well as safety procedures.
Following this instruction, students get to work performing all the tasks of a job site, including unloading materials off of a truck, distributing tasks, and cleaning up. All the while, the high schoolers are developing and applying social-emotional skills while the program provides a glimpse into real-world applications of their studies.
"They're learning a lot about teamwork and working together in an environment where there aren't only goals, but also safety [to consider]," Theodoros said. "They can be the best carpenter in the world or the best person at nailing boards in, but if they're not communicating that with the person that's holding the board, it's not going to go very well."
Students at North Bennet Street and Madison Park Carpentry and Locksmithing Program exhibit a spectrum of prior experience and skills. With students ranging in school-year concentrations from facilities management to IT, there isn't much crossover in curricula with the summer learning. Therefore, all students are able to build upon old skills and develop new ones.
Thus far, students have worked on some major projects. This past week they travelled through the North End, measuring doorways and sculptures with the thought in mind of building a box for some of the neighborhood's landmarks. They also collaborated to build a large structure from a number of smaller units, honing their carpentry skills until the structure came together at the end of last week.
"They had to build all of the pieces individually," Theodoros said. "Once it all went together, you could see their pride and sense of accomplishment shot up that last day. They're spending all this time cutting all the pieces and it doesn't look like much, but once you take that last step to put it all together it all comes together."
Being a first year program, one of North Bennet Street School and Madison Park Carpentry and Locksmithing program's goals for the summer is high attendance. This is incentivized by a badge system that rewards good work and behavior, as well as a stipend for the students to receive at the end of the summer, granted they meet a minimum attendance requirement. For Madison Park, Theodoros said the "big goal within itself" is the fact that these students now have experience to put on job resumes in the future.
While still a work in progress, the program is trying to adapt its usual curriculum—aimed at students 10-15 years older than those it serves in the summer—to appeal to and benefit high schoolers. According to Theodoros, this process includes determining "the potential for growth" with the students.
Theodoros has already noted impeccable growth in the students, both in the improvement of their skills that is making them more efficient workers and in the relationships they've fostered.
"The first day no one was really talking to each other, they didn't really know each other from school," Theodoros said. "But now just a couple days later it's a very different vibe."
With a successful first few weeks under their belt, the staff at North Bennet Street School and Madison Park Carpentry and Locksmithing Program is optimistic about the program's future.
"Everybody is very excited about the program," Theodoros said. "For North Bennet Street School, one of our strategic plans/goals is to strengthen our relationship with Boston, the city, and its residents, and this program is very clearly helping us do that. We're really happy with it so far."

Going back and adding something in might undo a couple of the work that has already been done, adding unnecessary expense.
Speak with professionals and create a firm number for your kitchen design. Budget plans for kitchen design will vary based on what you previously have and where you want to head, but it is crucial that everyone associated recognizes the budget to make sure that you can all be on the same page.

Creators and developers can take you through the process of coming to a home price before your kitchen has been designed and after, though lots of people try to spend no greater than 20% of their home's market price on the project. Use this as your base line for the budget. Once you have that overall amount, you can work on a barrier zone in the event that anything goes wrong.

When I was in Ghana, I told my driver that. He got a big kick out of it. My aunt confirmed that this is "old thinking" back when men made much more than their wives. If the main breadwinner is making $5,000 or 5,000 cedis per month while the woman is making a fraction of that, then this makes sense. Oddly enough, despite the emergence of two income families, this "old thinking" still seems to persist unevenly today.
Living in Ghana, the roles of men and women are quite distinct and clear. In many ways, the society continues to favor men. Sure, women comprise of the majority of the outdoor market traders; educated women can rise up the ranks in corporate jobs, e.g. banks. In fact, the Chief Justice, Ms. Georgina Theodora Wood, and Attorney General, Ms. Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, are both women.
Nonetheless, most senior level positions in government, tribes, and business remain in the hands of men. Thus, despite strides in economic opportunities for women, men continue to control the freedom of women in Ghanaian society. For instance, several colleagues and friends confirmed that many men in power continue to make sex a prerequisite to being hired.
Furthermore, it's an open secret that most (older) men seem to have mistresses. I can attest to frequently seeing men in their 40s, 50s, and 60s out with women who could be their daughters. They would take their girlfriends to public places, e.g. restaurants, bars, and out with their other male friends who were expected to just accept that their friends had very young companions. Wives are expected to turn a blind eye because many of them are economically trapped in their marriages. Perhaps society views these extramarital affairs as an extension of how traditional chiefs often had multiple wives.
Gender roles in Ghana were, thus, very clear. Men basically get a free pass so long as they can support their families. Women can work but their overriding role is to raise the couple's children. In Ghana, I think this quote about women keeping their own money makes sense because legal and economic protections for women are weak. There is no social safety net.
Back in the US
From a seat in the US, women's freedom in Ghana is severely limited. After all, sex as a quid pro quo to hiring would easily lead to a lawsuit and a cheating husband can expect his wife to file for divorce soon after discovery of his affairs.
More importantly, women have made great strides in government and business. Though women still earn less than men, the gender pay gap has narrowed. According to the Pew Research Center, in 1964, women earned 64 cents for every dollar a man made. By 2012, women earned 84 cents for every dollar a man made. Clearly, a drastic improvement. Pew also states that young women (25 – 34 years) earn 93 cents for every dollar a man made. They cite a better educated female population and "are more active in the workforce than they used to be," women have moved into better paying fields and jobs, men's earnings have fallen over time, and workplace gender barriers and discrimination have eroded.
The only troubling thing the report finds is how the pay gap widens as women stay in the workforce longer and approaches 80 cents per dollar a man makes.
Even at the highest levels of corporate America, women are filling many prominent roles. It would seem that top companies are becoming more gender-neutral in their hiring practices. Prominent female executives include (Source: Bloomberg News):
- Safra Catz – Co-President/CFO, Oracle – Comp: $51.7 million
- Marissa Meyer, President/CEO, Yahoo! – Comp: $36.6 million
- Irene Rosenfeld, Chairman/CFO, Mondelez International – Comp: $28.8 million
- Sharen Turney, President/CEO, Victoria's Secret – Comp: $25.6 million
- Carol Meyrowitz, CEO, TJX – Comp: $21.8 million
- Angela Braly – Chairman/President/CEO, Wellpoint – Comp: $20.6 million
- Virginia Rometty, Chairman/President/CEO, IBM – Comp: $16.2 million
- Ellen Kullman, Chairman/CEO, duPont -Comp: $15.7 million
- Meg Whitman, President/CEO, HP – Comp: $15.4 million
- Renee James, Executive VP/General Manager, Intel – Comp: $15.3 million
- Mary Erdoes, CEO Asset Management at JP Morgan, Comp: $14.8 million
- Rosalind Brewer, President/CEO, Sam's Club – Comp: $14.5 million
- Indra Nooyi, Chairman and CEO, PepsiCo – Comp: $14.2 million
- Ursula Burns, Chairman and CEO, Xerox – Comp: $13.1 million
- Sheri McCoy, Chairman and CEO, Avon Products – Comp: $12.9 million
Surprisingly, Sheryl Sandberg, COO at Facebook, didn't make it into the list. (I'm sure the majority of her comp is in the form of stock options.)
Besides work, women enroll in college at a higher rate than men across all races. Women also fair well in graduate education enrollment. Women make up a slight minority (up to 45 percent vs 55 percent for men) at the top 10 law schools. For instance, at Yale and Harvard, women make up 49.3 and 48 percent, respectively. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 48 percent of medical school graduates nationwide are female.
What's the point of all of this data? For all intents and purposes, women have nearly reached parity with men in the workplace and in education. I look at the high divorce rate as an indication that neither the women nor the men feel "trapped" and feel compelled to stay married.
As the barriers preventing women from achieving economic freedom have been removed, some women seem to still want elements of the old-fashioned ways. For instance, some women still want men to be chivalrous and/or to pay for dates. Some women want their husbands to make more money than them. For instance, a friend's wife previously made at least twice his income; she recently "traded up" to pursue a relationship with someone who made even more than her. Of course, I also know a handful of women who seem to only pick men who make less money than them because the women do not want to feel bound by the whims of their partners.
NPR recently ran a series on the changing definition of the modern American man. Topics of stories included: stay-at-home husbands, the mixed reception chivalry evokes, difficulty in getting paternity leave, and many more.
One thing that I discovered while I was in Ghana was that European couples no longer seem to get married. Instead of tying the knot, they co-habit with children for decades. When I Googled "Men don't want to get married", I got a flood of articles/posts that basically state that marriage is a raw deal for men:
- "Why Do Women Initiate Divorce More Than Men?" – Daily Telegraph (October 8, 2013)
- "8 Reasons Straight Men Don't Want to Get Married" – Huffington Post (June 20, 2013)
- "The War on Men" Fox News (November 26, 2012)
- "Don't Marry" (November 21, 2008) — this person is either very jaded or spot on
A quick perusal of these posts/articles basically say that marriage is unfavorable for men because the legal system and society still treats women as the "weaker sex" despite vast improvements in economic opportunities. While women can stop working during a marriage or lose interest in their husbands, men are "trapped" in a legal arrangement that compels them to continue supporting their families and remain faithful.
Honestly, I'm a bit confused by the changing currents. On the one hand, I don't think I can rest on my laurels and wait for a woman in shining armor to rescue me. That's such a foreign concept and society doesn't seem to be offering that role. Meanwhile, other women say they want a "partner" but they seem to either want someone to take care of them or someone not to hinder their career trajectories. It's all a bit grey.
What are your experiences/views on the changing gender roles?

International SEO Consultant the best International SEO expertise
Being an International SEO consultant means you must be able to translate a website into multi-languages which will allow users to view the website in their mother language. Google has it's own specific algorithm version for its' specific country. Translating a website in a different language doubles the potential of a business.
So if you rank in a country based on the spoken language in that country you will increase traffic, revenue, leads and an increased sales. International Search engine optimization is not just how do i target different countries but how am i going to target the visitors in the most effective way.
There are a few things that you must take into account before you translate a website into a different language because you need a staff that will handle the written content within the site. International SEO consultants must be able to notify you with the process of translating your website into different languages.
How to be an Effective International SEO Consultant
The most important part is, are you going to be country specific with your domain.
A country specific domain is a domain that belongs to the country. Like in Hong Kong we use .com.hk or .hk and in the USA, companies use .us or .com. All these country specific domains are very helpful and google considers this as a local business and it's the best option. Let us just give your an example, In the USA, people give more credibility to a .com domain and in Canada, people look for a domain that ends with a .ca. Make sure you do a bit of research before you jump in.
Providing the best International SEO consultancy
let us show you how to provide google with content that is specific to it's relevant language. So, if you are making pages in different languages. You must use href links to clarify that this page is in English and is using "en" telling the bots that this page matches a specific page in English. Google might not rank the other pages if they don't have different content within the pages. Keep in mind that en stands for english sp stands for spanish. These are called language codes or abbreviations.

Rachelle Peters
Topeka, KS 66614
My name is Rachelle Peters. I was born and raised in Council Grove, KS and moved to Topeka in 1993. I've been actively buying and selling real estate on my own for the past 10 years and have been a landlord in Topeka since 2000. In 2005, I decided to make the hobby I love...my full time profession.
Whether it's helping a first time home buyer, first time investor, or people looking to buy a rehab project....I enjoy it all. My clients find my years of experience as a home owner, landlord and house flipper beneficial. I not only have a great sense of what my clients want, my past experience with dealing with home problems helps me to answer many questions that not so seasoned Realtors would overlook. In 2006, I was recognized as 1 of the Top 15% of agents in Topeka, and 2007, I was recognized as 1 of the Top 5% of all Topeka Realtors. Each year I continue to be one of the top producing agents in the area, and have also been recognized with a Master Club award by our local association.
I realize that everyone's schedule is different and so I work 7 days a week, and evenings. When my clients need me, I am there. I don't believe in shutting off my phone after 5pm, or not answering calls on the weekends.
If you're in the market to buy or sell a home in the Topeka area, please call me! I'm always ready to be put to work!

We're a few days into August and it's been a while since I've shared my goals and challenges.
I'm trying to get back on track after what feels like a year of being out of control. I am great for most of the day or most of the week. Then something always brings me down. This time, I'm focused on working hard to be healthy, not to fit in a dress, or for a beach trip.
– Work out 5 days a week
– Do yoga once a week
– Reach 84,000 steps each week
– Limit myself to1 treat a week
New Challenge
I decided to try a new kind of workout. I've been doing Bobbi's Shreds for about a year, but each one includes moves that I never felt comfortable doing, and so, more often than not, I would elect not to do the workouts at all.
I decided to jump on the Beachbody bandwagon. I'm doing the PiYo challenge, with the Get Lean, eating plan to get myself back on track.
I'm doing a challenge group with Jillian and am excited to try something new and different. My before photos were not something to be proud of, but it's proof of where I am today, and I own that.
I've set up my August workouts, which include the PiYo DVDs, some HIIT workouts to up my cardio on strength days, and teaching myself to run again.
In anticipation of starting base building training this fall, I want to build my strength for the first few miles of running again. With the lack of training I've been doing, I feel like I've lost my old running self, and am big enough to admit I need to start over.
I'm ready. I'm focused. Let's do this.
Have you done PiYo?
What are your August goals?
Any final summer vacations this month?
