Fwd: The circle game . . .
---------- Forwarded message
From: John H
Round and round it goes and where it stops is on the heads of every American citizen. We are the dupes and they are the puppet masters ruling the world at their whim while not so slowly squeezing the life out of the public both here and abroad – sometimes economically and sometimes physically.

Fwd: Jerry Bowyer on Forbes.com: "Exercise Which Maximizes Neurotransmitters?"

Forbes.com: "Exercise Which Maximizes Neurotransmitters?"
I wrote recently about my interview with Phil Campbell, author of The Sprint 8 Cardio Protocol. Campbell's book is the fruit of 30 years of self-monitoring, coaching, medical testing, and academic research focused on finding the optimal exercise training program. The conclusion is that the center part of such a program should not be the widely recommended long-form aerobic session, but rather short-form exercise which takes the trainee quickly into anaerobic territory. To get the highest health gains overall, Campbell recommends 8 sprints at maximum speed spread out over a 20 minute time period, 3 times per week...

Fwd: Propaganda 101
From John H
For those of you who depend upon The New York Times for establishing a connection with the 'real world' should read and pay special attention to the attached article. The most powerful propaganda effort ever waged is now in place and being managed by plutocracy through the main stream media. And for those of you who believe heart and soul in the Democratic Party should absolutely watch the Real News Network interviews at the Peoples' Summit.

Dear Bicycle-loving Friend,
As you may already know, we are holding a Fundraising Event for Danny Chew on June 17th, to help raise funds for making his home handicapped-accessible, as well as for the uplhighly increased living expenses that come with being paralyzed. He is temporarily living in Ohio, but is coming home to Pittsburgh in a month. Time is of the essence!
The Fundraiser should be a great celebration with food, beer, music, bicycle-related games and activities, as well as Danny himself.

Just for the Record, I fit into all this by being one of the original cyclists in the Chew Cycling Crew...Danny's sister Carol and I were the first to check out the Thursday night bicycle rides at the American Youth Hostels, then other members of the family became interested, and well, the rest is - HIStory.
Please see the attached letter from Danny...Be well everyone,Susan Richter412-736-xxxx (removed by blogsmaster)

Fwd: SKWIM
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Bret
Kevin,
I just heard you will be visiting here in Paso Robles tomorrow. That's great. I look forward to meeting you. Let me just say thank you for creating and promoting this game. It is a lot of fun. This will be the second summer I will play SKWIM, with last year being the first.
So my SKWIM story started last year about this time. I had spent the last three years watching my son play water polo. I saw how much fun the boys were having and I wanted to play too. Though truth be told, water polo would be way too rough for me. But that still didn't stop me from wanting to play some type of team water sport. Sadly, actually frustratingly, there was no team water sport games that I could find. And I don't just mean I couldn't find any team water sport games in my town, but even through an internet search I could not find any meaningful team water sport games through out the world either. I think the closest I came was underwater hockey (seriously, it's game where you hold your breath and dive down to advance a weighted puck).
Then a few things happened. First, when I lamented my unresolved yearning for a water sport game to my coworker, he told me a little story. While vacationing in Washington on the lake shore one day, he came across some folks passing a yellow foam disc across the water. Those folks were very friendly and included my coworker in passing this disc among them. When the folks left, they said my coworker could hold on to the disc. Well, as you know, this yellow foam disc was a SKWIM disc. When my coworker told me about this, I looked SKWIM up on the internet and was immediately captivated. I so wanted to try SKWIM out. Problem was I needed a pool.
As it turns out, at this same time, our community pool was due to be reopened after five or so years of being closed due to budget issues. This pool would be perfect for SKWIM. It was just long enough and one could touch bottom the whole span so people with multiple swimming backgrounds could participate. I approached my city about the prospect of having SKWIM being played. I was soon put in contact with Lynda, who you now know. Together, the two of us brainstormed a way to make it work. We were able to squeeze in two sessions a week for a total of nine sessions. Everybody who played had a great time. SKWIM is just what I was looking for. It's a great non contact team game to play in the water. The spacing of the game is perfect and the way passes are made by gliding the disc across the water is amazing.
I don't know if you know much about our town, Paso Robles, but it can get really hot here in the summer. So having SKWIM during the summer was a fantastic experience. I am thrilled that we have the opportunity to play again this summer.
