With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I have not been directly affected as I am about 20 some miles away from one of the fires but have a number of friends, coworkers, and students that have. Some still wondering if their homes still exist. HATS OFF AND THANK YOU TO THE FIRE CREWS WHO ARE FIGHTING PITCHED BATTLES AND IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. Jason

And yes a big thanks to the firemen who have come through for us once again. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

We have almost 200 of our own who are now down there fighting. And it is kinda health related: here in Vegas, the health dept has issued a major health warning yesterday and today because the air is so polluted from the smoke and the 50 mph winds. The entire sky is gray; can't see the mountains, and ash is falling from the sky. -------------- Michael Trample the weak; hurdle the dead! Chaos, Panic, Disorder.... Yes, my work here is done!

Lets all hope they are stopped ASAP. -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do.

There are ashes everywhere...I can smell it from my office...I can't forget for a minute what's going on. Too many of my friends live in the affected areas. I don't understand why they just don't leave. Why do they wait to be forced to evacuate. Especially the one's with children. I spent a couple hours at one friends house 1 mile away...I couldn't stand it...my eyes were burning and my lungs hurt. Somehow, that didn't convince her to grab her kids and move in with her mother until things settle down.
