“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Maryanne Williamson

New Insight On Relationship Between Parents, Preschoolers and Obesity
While sugary drinks, lack of exercise and genetics contribute to a growing number of overweight American children, new research from Washington State University reveals how a mom’s eating habits and behavior at the dinner table can influence her preschooler’s obesity risk.

“Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today.” James Dean
You’ve probably seen it a few times like I have – but – this shit gets my blood pumping.
“The soda industry is under siege, and for good reason. This new advertising campaignfrom Coca-Cola is just a damage control exercise, and not a meaningful contribution toward addressing obesity. What the industry is trying to do is forestall sensible policy approaches to reducing sugary drink consumption, including taxes, further exclusion from public facilities, and caps on serving sizes such as the measure proposed by Mayor Bloomberg.”

Note: Gym will be closed for Open Gym 4:00 to 5:30 pm on Thursday 12/20 due to a corporate event.
Friday is the end of the world as you all know (My theory is that as soon as the planets all line up on the opposite side of the sun, all of the solar system’s gravity will be working against us. We will be pulled into the sun. We must obey gravity it is the law),
so we are cancelling the 7:30pm class Friday night and having a party… A few short challenge throwdowns might add to the revelry. So if you want to entertain the masses in a showdown, throw down the gauntlet before a friend or a foe. Let the crowd determine your fate! They decide which WOD!
End of the world movie(s) will be shown. If you plan to imbibe, also plan for a safe return. Or to hang out until the end of the world.
I do have a friend who has a plan to save the world and is accepting donations for the cause…
if she is successful….We will also be cancelling the 7:30 am class on Saturday. We may need to recover:)

“Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.” ― Niels Bohr
“It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.” ― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
I think he means we shouldn’t expect to find anyone out there if we are the survivors of the earth’s destruction. – so sad.

“Death by 10 meters”
shuttle run 10 m 1st minute, 20 m 2nd minute … until failure.
Coaches Corner: If you are unable to do sets of 6 or more pull ups or dips switch to the static hold option No bands! unless needed for the static hold.
On death by 10 you must attempt next if you made the last. Do not bail on the most important minute, the one you give everything and still come up short!
Never, never, never quit.
Winston Churchill
Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!
Admiral David G. Farragut
The courageous do not volunteer for failure, you beat it back by one more decision to keep going. Even after your fate is sealed and it seems there is no way left to win, you fight on. You are a warrior, you never quit. You are a warrior, failure is not an option. You are a warrior, this life is your battleground! – Tim
“The secret of joy in work is contained in one word – excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.”–Pearl Buck
“The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”–Vince Lombardi
Submitted by Michael Moore
The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity. Choosing right over wrong, ethic over convenience, and truth over popularity … these are choices that measure your life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.
