"Lillegutt" er 18 måneder og snart stor gutt

Isabella — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:09:25 +0000

Xpress ble 18 måneder 19. august
GRATULERER MED DAGEN "LILLEGUTT" :o)

Guttaboys feiret med løpetur i skogen
"Come on, bro - I`ll race you!"

Skip debuterer i elite 7. september

Isabella — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:54:20 +0000

Tradisjonen tro får jeg nesten si, så skal vi til Hundorp å konkurrerer i september. Skip skal debutere i eliteklassen og Xpress skal gå sin tredje klasse 1-konkurranse.

Jeg skal prøve å være flink til å trene fellesdekk med Xpress frem mot stevnet, kanskje kan vi klare opprykket da. Fellesdekk er desverre noe jeg utsetter og utsetter fordi jeg synes det er kjedelig å trene på, men det straffer seg :o) På Hønefoss 1. juli ville Xpress fått opprykk om han hadde ligget på fellesdekken....

Når det gjelder Skip i eliteklassen er det veldig åpent - alle øvelsene er "i boks" men han mangler vel litt trening på "uforutsett baneoppstilling". Men jeg gleder meg til å komme i gang i Eliten - jeg trenger et kick nå :o)

Xpress på agility-trening (video)

Isabella — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 12:26:28 +0000

Xpress har nettopp begynt å trene agility, og nå i starten er det individuelle hindere som står på timeplanen.
Gleder meg veldig til Xpress blir sikker på hindrene og tempoet øker, og til vi kan begynne å sette sammen noen hinderkombinasjoner. Tror han har litt anlegg for agility :o)

what kind of day has it been

Ieri ho impaginato il mio primo libro. So che sembra folle, ma mi ha reso molto più felice di quando per la prima volta ho visto il mio nome su una copertina. Dentro quel librino impaginato ci sono due anni di fatica, impegno e pazienza, ci sono inciampi e delusioni, risultati e belle promesse. E l'amicizia con F. e con A., che senza saperlo mi hanno restituito la testarda fiducia nelle persone che gli anni padani avevevano martoriato.

E poi martedì notte ho ricevuto un regalo. Non dirò da chi proviene e che cos'è, ma ha anch'esso a che vedere con la fiducia. E vorrei che la persona che me l'ha consegnato tra le mani sapesse che sono davvero orgogliosa della straordinaria creatura che è diventata.

Hva gjør Isabella på 40-års dagen?

Isabella — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 00:33:57 +0000

Jo, selvfølgelig starter hun i en lydighetskonkurranse :o)
Stevne på Gjøvik litt utpå dagen idag, og jeg skal igjen starte med Skip i klasse 3. Xpress skal få bli litt mer "tørr bak øra" før han får være med igjen :o)

På tide å sove litt nå da kanskje....
Joda, referat fra stevnet kommer! :o)

Må jo bare teste super-kameraet :o)

Isabella — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 23:24:27 +0000

Et knippe bilder jeg har tatt for å teste ut kamera litt. Selvsagt er det bilder av "barna" :o)

Missi

Xpress

Xpress og Skip

The Champ

Xpress og Skip

Ut i skogen for å slappe av

Isabella — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 03:44:39 +0000

Missi har løpetid, og om guttene her hjemme er slitne av å gå å håpe, så er Missi minst like sliten av maset deres. Missi har aldri vært interessert i hannhunder uansett når i perioden hun, er og hun bruker vanvittig mye energi på å holde dem unna.

Så da drar vi på "jentetur" alene i skogen vi, så kan guttene sitte hjemme og hyle, he he... Neida, så ille er dem ikke. De henger på henne som "et slips" når hun er i nærheten men det er lite lyd fra dem. Dessuten går de på rundgang så de henger ikke på henne mer enn èn om gangen.

Denne gangen var Xpress først ute, han begynte tidlig i perioden hennes, og har vel ikke sovet på nesten en uke. Nå har Champ hatt sin tørn, men Skip ser ikke ut til å bry seg om henne i det hele tatt. Dem er en merkelig gjeng :o)

Missi har løpetid - Xpress i trance

Isabella — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 07:10:00 +0000

Missi har fått løpetid, og Xpress prøver så godt han kan å kurtisere henne på alle tenkelige måter :o)
De andre gutta mine er stort sett "rett på" - får seg en karamell av henne og lusker bort, før de gjør et nytt forsøk. Men Missi har aldri vært glad i "innpåslitne mannfolk", selv ikke under løpetiden, så alle deres iherdige forsøk er alltid forgjeves.

Men Xpress vet å kurtisere en dame, så her må jeg nok passe på litt ja, for Missi godtar faktisk jålestrekene fra han. Men Xpress har ett lite problem: han er for kort i beina. Det ser jo bare så utrolig komisk ut når han prøver å komme opp på henne! :o) Minner meg om reklamen for "Gule sider på internett" som gikk på tv for en tid tilbake :o)

La música contigo con Nokia 5610

Antonio Trejo — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 23:30:06 +0000

Nokia presentó oficialmente la disponibilidad de su dispositivo Nokia 5610, de la línea Xpress Music, que la marca ofrece para los fanáticos de la música.

El 5610 ofrece un formato deslizable (slider) y recubierto de un color negro brillante. Ofrece hasta 22 horas de reproducción de música gracias a una tarjeta de memoria opcional de 4 Gb. Cuenta con teclas dedicadas para la función música y con un sistema denominado Music Slider, que permite un cambio de modo inmediato entre el reproductor, radio FM y el modo en espera del dispositivo.

Su reproductor de música digital, que también reproduce archivos de video en calidad de DVD, brinda la posibilidad de leer diferentes formatos de archivo como MP3, MP4, AAC, eAAc+ y WMA, a lo que se suma la radio FM.

Gracias a su circuito integrado dedicado, el Nokia 5610 brinda un sonido nítido y mayor tiempo de reproducción. Admite un ecualizador en tiempo real para poder controlar la “imagen del sonido” durante la reproducción de música, así como listas de canciones y material de álbumes.

Sus beneficios no sólo residen en las características de música: el Nokia 5610 posee una cámara digital de 3.2 MP con dual flash y zoom gradual de 8x, una pantalla de 2.2” con 16 millones de colores y tecnología Bluetooth, gracias a la cual se puede conectar con otros dispositivos.

Por supuesto, cuenta con 3G para poder hacer descargas, navegar por la web, hacer videollamadas de una manera rápida y fácil, y además, es compatible, al igual que el 5310 XpressMusic, con Nokia Music Store. El celular, al igual que el anterior, sale a la venta a finales de año a un precio de entre los 4,000 pesos en plan de prepago o también se puede adquirir con planes tarifarios con Telcel y/o Movistar,

¿La parte mala? Tiene una clavija jack de 2.5 mm.

Dætta går bra - æller i værla

Isabella — Tue, 20 May 2008 14:15:00 +0000

Det var ikke så mange hunder på trening i går, men nok til at Xpress fort "detter ut", så hvordan det går til helgen, på nytt sted, flere hunder og kanskje agilityringen ved siden av.... Vel, kanskje greit å ikke vite, ellers hadde jeg kanskje ikke meldt han på :o) Men en gang må være den første, så like greit å hoppe i det!

Week 6’s Exercises

Blair — Sun, 18 May 2008 09:28:45 +0000

Hi exerciseXpressers,

This week is going to be slightly different to the previous couple of weeks, I am trying out new ways to display content, let me know which way you prefer. This week focus is on a cardio work out not on muscle building. It is going to be a physically tough week so remember, eat healthy food, get full night sleeps and keep all exercise simple, fresh and fun! Also if it hurts stop and rest, it is vital that you work within your limits otherwise you may get an injury which isn’t good at all!

The Program

Monday – Walk

30 minute quick walk around the block

Tuesday – Swimming Session

Wednesday – Day off

Remember to comment on this post to let me know how it’s going J

Thursday – Jog/Run

30-40 minute run, find a nice oval or hill and run, even better bring some friends along and have coffee/tea after as a reward. This is the ‘peak day’ so make sure you put in effort here J. An alternative for this is running for 2 minutes and walking for 10 minutes.

Friday – recovery walk

30 minute recovery walk, I find a good walk after a run always helps remove the lactate (muscle soreness)

Saturday – core strength workout

30 minute brisk walk
2 x 10 push-ups
2 x 20 sit-ups
5 minutes of skipping

Sunday – Day off

Day off to recover and remember to comment on this blog.

For the following weeks I want to know if you prefer this style of post compared to the others and if there is anything you would like to see more of in the blog. Also I want everyone to know how we are all progressing.

My Fifth Week of Exercise – The Reflection

Blair — Sun, 18 May 2008 09:21:53 +0000

This week has been very much a mixed bag sort of week. I felt as if I was starting to get sick and had all the common symptoms but today, Sunday, nothing has changed too much so I am wondering what it is. I did a pretty good week of exercise considering this. Regardless of this feeling I continued my exercise program with reduced intensity. My exercises for this week were:

Monday – slow walk

20 minute walk to try and shake the virus

Tuesday – walk

30 minute walk

Wednesday – run

45 minute run (this was a circuit style, approx 4-5km travelled as there was some jogging as well)

Thursday – gym

45minute gym session – working on biceps, triceps, back and legs

Friday – walk

30 minute walk

Saturday – walk and ride

30 minute walk
20 minute bike ride

Sunday – walk & core strength workout

6 x 10 push-ups
5 x 20 sit-ups
10 minutes of ‘weighed rope’ skipping
30 minute walk

This week was a bit annoying as I was not feeling 100% so I had to simplify my sessions. However, I am looking forward to pushing myself next week. Next week’s exercises will be posted later today, I am just finalising the program. Oh, you must check out this week’s recipe! It has taken me 2 weeks to perfect and it now tastes amazing!

Let me know how your exercise program is going J

Week 4’s Healthy Food Option

Blair — Sat, 17 May 2008 01:26:44 +0000

Hi all,

I found this tasty, healthy, easy vegetarian meal called “Roasted Pumpkin & Moroccan Rice” in the Woman’s Day magazine, May 12, 2008, p76. I decided to try out a vegetarian meal for everyone to enjoy! It was so good I had to have a double serve! The recipe is attached here:

(Note: Click on picture to get full size image)

The only difference which I made to this recipe is that in step 2 I baked it for 15 minutes and then for another 15-20 minutes after I added the tomatoes. Here is my end result:

Enjoy J

Due to the large number of requests the recipe is available here: http://exercisexpress.net/2008/05/05/blairs-banana-bread/

Week 5’s Exercises

Blair — Tue, 13 May 2008 11:05:34 +0000

Hi exerciseXpressers,

Week 5 is here already! I hope everyone enjoyed the diverse range of exercises from last week. This week’s exercises continue to build on your fitness from the previous weeks. I have not included an exercise session plan for this week. If you would like it for week 6 (next week) let me know by comment on this post. Also if you want any tips or suggestions to work on specific muscle groups or help injury recovery comment on this post.

I hope you enjoy this week’s exercises J

Exercises for Week 5:

Simple Exercises:

Exercise 1: “stomach crunch”

· This can be done either on the floor or using an exercise ball. Lie down with your knees bent, then place your hands in two positions either crossed over chest or behind head (see pictures), raise yourself using your abs, and then slowly lower. I have included a good link in the tips section which is a short video on how to do abdominal crunches. Also there are pics below.

o Repetitions

§ 3 sets of 10, between each set have a 2 minute break

o Tips

§ Start off with a small number of repetitions then increase it

§ Hold in your stomach during each set, this increases the effectiveness of this exercise

§ A great video link on how to do abdominal crunches:

· ‘How to Do an Abdominal Crunch’, by eHow (2008), available at: http://www.ehow.com/video_3191_abdominal-crunch.html

o What does it work?

§ abs

Pictures of how to do crunches with an exercise ball:

Or with arms crossed:

Moderate Exercises:

Exercise 1: “skipping”

· That’s right, skipping. Skipping is a great workout and is more intense than what you think. There are a variety of different types of skipping ropes; the two main forms which are weighted handles and non weighted handles. I have both, however, currently prefer the weighted handle ones. This is a great article from skip-hope 2008 about the benefits of skipping http://www.skip-hop.co.uk/skipping-benefits.htm

o Repetitions

§ 2 x 10-15 minute sessions with small breaks during each time block

o Tips

§ Small jumps work best

§ Get a group together and you can all work out

o What does it work?

§ A bit of everything, focusing on abs and legs

Advanced Exercises:

Exercise 1: “Swimming”

· I set a challenge in the previous weeks

o The session, 1-2km

§ 100m free warm up

§ 3 x 100 free

§ 3 x 100 kick

§ 2 x 100 swim choice

§ 100m choice swim down

§ Extension for the people who can swim more

§ 5 x 200 (2 x free, 2 x backstroke, 2 x breaststroke)

o What does it work?

§ General all over workout

Video av Xpress på Lp-trening

Isabella — Tue, 06 May 2008 20:27:20 +0000

Nå er det 18 dager igjen til Xpress skal debutere i Lp klasse 1. Han blir fortsatt litt svimete med andre hunder i nærheten men jeg forventer ikke det helt store av han enda heller - med tiden blir han bra tror jeg :o)

Xpress 7 vs. Indesign CS3

nomanoki — Tue, 06 May 2008 06:36:09 +0000

Nach einigen Tests mit Xpress 7.31 bin ich nicht mehr davon überzeugt, daß die Zukunft des DTP allein mit Indesign gestaltet wird. Xpress 7.3 läuft runder, eventuell auch schneller als noch in der Erstversion. Hat nach anfänglichen Bedenken nun wieder auf meiner Liste der bevorzugten Programme Platz genommen. Zur Zeit werden die meisten Jobs aber immer noch auf 6.5 erstellt, einfach weil da alles rund läuft und Programmabstürze fast schon der Vergangenheit angehören.
