QUOTE (Sox72 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 05:30 PM) Ehh, good question......they came with the beachbody set with the pullup/pushup bar. I'm using the green one. Just looked it up. It's 40 lbs. That's odd, though, because there's no way I could do curls with 40 lb dumbbells. Dont listen to that skinny little s***. He doesnt know what lifting weights is all about

QUOTE (Sox72 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) Such as? I'd assume the weights for muscle mass and the bands for flexibility and lean muscle??? I've used both and I prefer the weights 100%. It just made it so much harder for me, and also easier to do the exercises.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 01:42 PM) Let me make clear that I do not have anything against people who get married. What pisses me off is the married people who look down their nose at unmarried people. And let's make another thing clear, the latter happens a hell of a lot more than the former. Truth, and you know a majority of them are just jealous because they are miserable. I understand there are many happy married people. But from what I see, the final act of legally binding two people actually makes the situation worse. Then you feel obligated to do things for each other instead of actually having the desire to make that person happy. Alot of people I know who are married or are getting married went down that road because "I am at that age" or they were guilted into it by their partner. At the same time if you DO decide that marriage is right for you, decide because you want to be in that for life, not because you are 30, or because you just think thats the next step. Divorce is HELL on children and I am seeing too many people figuring out after they've had kids that the whole marriage thing isnt going to work out because they really dont care that much about their partner. IMO, thats complete Bulls***, and if you've taken that step, thats it for life. /rant Oh, and I'm one of those people that isnt crazy about the idea because I think that sometimes people can care about each just as much if not more than people who enter a legally binding contract. With that said, I would be willing to get married to my current gf, but one of my stipulations is that I will take that step when its legal for all people who want to be married to get married. And my only relationship advice is, the person you should be with should love you for who you are. You dont need to become a identity-less "WE" who disappears from existence because you got a GF or got married. If you stay true to who you are, you will find the person who compliments you and who you will never want to leave. If you arent currently with a person like that, leave, there are millions of people out there.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 11:14 AM) I'm by no means an expert on our minor league players so can someone chime in and give us some perspective on how Sale compares to recent pitching hopefuls? Can he be the real deal? Umm. Hard to compare him to anyone. Maybe Poreda with better control and more pitches? He's fairly polished already.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 11:25 AM) And last but not least, Flash has almost ZERO security. I'd venture to guess that a majority of web based hacks happen through Flash...they need to fix that once and for all. The fact that they plug 30 holes a week in Flash isn't good enough...secure it already, Adobe shouldn't need years to do it, either... Thats really a main problem, especially for phones. Nobody wants phones full of viruses. Also think of the personal information that can be stolen.

Flash is simply not a safe platform which is why Jobs doesnt like it. I dont think it has anything to do with performance. And the iphone's superiority in my world is simply based on the fact thats its an ipod. I can plug it into so many accessories like my alarm clock, car, stereo etc and have complete control over all of my music. I personally think thats one area that the other hardware manufacturers are missing out on as they focus on one-upping each other's droid skins.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 07:21 AM) Latest from Heyman: SI_JonHeyman aggressive #chisox have joined fray for edwin jackson.@ken_rosenthal has them in lead. #nats long seen as favorite 22 minutes ago SI_JonHeyman as some have pointed out, #chisox could also flip edwin jackson to nats for dunn, who chicago likes. 11 minutes ago Would peope be more comfortable with gettig Dunn for Hudson technically by flipping EJax? Or would it still be the end of th world for some of you? Rather have Jackson than Dunn to be honest. Dunn is a temp rental while Edwin if good would pay off after this half season. He could take Freddy's place next season in theory.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:27 AM) Stop over-valuing Hudson. In any other organization, he's an average pitching prospect. Jackson helps them win now and that is the goal. I see more Brendon McCarthy in Hudson then I see John Danks. Like which orgs? He would be a top pitching prospect for most other organizations out there without a doubt. And if you were referring to Brandon McCarthy, they have basically nothing in common as pitchers.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 10:21 PM) SIX games ahead of Detroit... they should blow it up and let us get Miggy Cabrera WHAT!!! THEY GOT J-HONNY!!!!

That chick must have a magic mouth to be receiving so many benefits after blowing dudes.

I heard that they were talking to the Cubs, but I dont think that Lilly is a done deal. That was honestly not even something I considered.

QUOTE (THEWOOD @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 06:14 PM) Rock, I could careless who is ranked higher. You and I both have been out of school for quite a bit, no one is asking me about where OSU ranks. I was just busting your balls, I have not posted on this site in about 3 years! On another note, and yes I know this is the wrong place, are your tickets for Saturday still available? Yes, PM me.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 10:57 PM) Complete 180 for me watching this team this season. In may in the same 5-1 situation i probably would have turned the game off knowing we werent even going to give it the ole college try. Today, I knew we would comeback and at least tie the game at some point. Go Sox! I hear ya. WHen Seattle went up 5-1, I was like, well I guess we'll just score 6 runs.

YAWN.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 01:55 PM) He's done it with Lillibridge and Viciedo for the last few weeks so why would he change? They are his best hitter just like Konerko? Did you seriously just compare Lillibridge to Konerko.

QUOTE (hitlesswonder @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 12:51 PM) I agree. Unless the Sox trade for Dunn, Kotsay is the starting DH for this season. We already know that Ozzie will not give Vicedo regular playing time over Kotsay. I think Teahen will play 3B/1B/RF a lot and you'll see Konerko or CQ sit more often than anyone would like. So he's going to sit his best hitter more often? Doubt it completely.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 01:39 PM) Your company must be a good one. The companies I've examined in this depression (it's more than a recession) are really treating workers like s*** and implementing pay freezes or cuts for the second straight year. I can't believe a majority of you do not think this thread is kind of embarrassing with the Sox having won 10 in a row at home and still hanging onto first place by a thread. We're in the pennant race entering August again. It's not embarrassing as much as its hilarious. Like I said above, the cyclical nature of the criticism in this thread is ironic. On one hand you have someone complaining the the team doesnt build from within, on the other its people saying that the team doesnt go for it at the deadline and in the FA market. Its been a really long time since the White Sox have had such consistently aggressive leadership committed to winning. But like the saying goes, find the hottest girl in the world and I'll show you a guy who is sick of her s***.

QUOTE (hitlesswonder @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 12:19 PM) By the same token, I think you are over-rating the Sox talent. Hudson would not be the top pitching prospect for any other organization in baseball. And CQ cannot stay on the field. There's a good chance Dunn will worth more wins over these last 2 moths than CQ and Hudson combined. Total bulls***. He would be the top pitching prospect for several other teams with zero doubt.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 11:59 AM) Your opinion, or what you've "heard"? Opinion, havent heard s*** lately to be honest.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 11:51 AM) I wouldnt use US News for the rankings, its all about the money in that. Problem is, there really isnt any good ranking system that I have found. Thats because there really isnt one. I feel like every source, magazine and book has been brought out at one time or another at a family xmas to argue. When I went there and now, Miami was more selective for me at least, not sure about other schools like pre-med etc. OSU has a ridiculous grad program though, there is so much money up there.

I wouldnt be surprised to see the Sox make a deal today or tomorrow for a small contributor. Nothing big.

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 01:36 PM) Lol, well not weight loss, if anything I'm looking to put on weight so muscle mass. This may not be for you then because it WILL lean you out. Although you will gain mass, you will also lose a ton of fat. Of course the real end result is that you will be in terrific shape. I was telling a friend yesterday, I cannot remember the last time I could do 50 pullups in a row, not since probably junior high or HS.

QUOTE (THEWOOD @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 05:01 AM) Sorry Rock, Miami is not a better school than Ohio State. OSU--53 Miami--77 http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews....rankings/page+4 OSU has many great programs and specialty schools that Miami doesnt have, but Miami is a better liberal arts education than OSU. Which is why it was and is much harder to get into for an undergrad. My family is almost 50/50 OSU and Miami I know both schools extremely well and I love them both. Since this is always a debate in Ohio that never ends, would you consider hotter girls at MU as the reason?

QUOTE (Hawk09 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 09:02 AM) I expect Kenny and Ozzie to muddle their way to another division title this year, their 3rd in the last 6 years, and roll the dice in the playoffs,with Danks,Floyd and Buehrle on the mound. Probably win a series ,maybe a world series. Then next winter, Kenny and Ozzie will get hammered by loyal Sox fans again...because that is what loyal Sox fans do. Probably followed by people hating that there arent impact players in the minors, while clamoring to make big trades at the deadline by dealing top prospects.

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 26, 2010 -> 07:02 PM) I have some questions for those of you that use the P90X, I've read through a lot of information but want your take. What items are necessary with the program? What do you recommend? (Chinup Bar, Resistance Bands, Dumbbells, Push Up Bar) - I've read some use Dumbbells in place of the bands (I have dumbbells so not a problem) - I know I don't need the yoga mat since I have a wrestling mat at home - The push up bar I feel is something I can make As for the nutrition plan, do any of you not follow it and get results? I eat pretty well as is and have to monitor cholesterol so I am good at controlling what I eat, I'm just wondering how attached are you to that plan. I don't need to lose weight but gain. Also, I see that there is a daily schedule but if I wanted to swap some of the days like do yoga on weekends and other stuff during the week would that be ok? I feel like I have more questions but I'm just not thinking of them, looking to purchase and obviously I am a beginner, any tips? Fwiw, I'm 5'10 and weigh 154 You are a stick already, so if you do this program, you will be super ripped up and lean. I would say, pull up bar, dumbbells and a chair and you are set. Follow the schedule for the first 90 days so you get the hang of why he does it that way. It really has a set means to an end. I dont follow the diet very well and thats why I still havent gotten to my goal of ripped up abs. I would say if you can watch what you eat, cut down on alcohol, you will be very successful in the program. Whats your goal for P90? Is it muscle mass, weight loss or overall fitness?
