Another American Massacre?

August 3, 2019

Today’s massacre in El Paso contains some common elements to dozens of similar occurrences.

Who are these killers?

The statistics tell us that they are most likely to be U.S. born while males, generally under 30 years of age.

A number of studies have shown that the male brain reaches maturity significantly later than females. The key brain region believed to be primarily responsible for reasoning and helping us to ‘think before we act’ is the pre-frontal cortex, which develops later in males, and is generally still changing and maturing well into adulthood.

What sort of weapons do these mass killers prefer?

Military-style assault weapons with high-capacity magazines.

What should we do right now to put a halt to these massacres?

Institute an immediate ban on the production, sale or civilian possession of military-style assault weapons in the U.S.

AR-15 (AK-47 and similar weapons) have no place in a civil society, except perhaps for military and limited law enforcement use.

Is there a precedent to this “call to action” at the federal level?

Yes, there is.  The Public Safety Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act (1994) prohibited the manufacture, transfer, or possession of “semiautomatic assault weapons” as well as “large capacity ammunition feeding devices” — defined as “any magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device” which had “the capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition”.

That legislation passed in September 1994 with a sunset provision for the assault weapon ban section. The law expired on September 13, 2004, and nothing has occurred at the federal level over the past 15 years to reign in the proliferation of civilian ownership of assault weapons, military grade ammunition and high capacity magazines.

I refuse to stand by and wait for someone to go hunting with an AR-15 at the school which my grandchildren attend, at the mall where my family shops, or at the house of worship in my neighborhood.

Please join me:  Step up and demand common sense gun regulations from your elected officials.

Fast Facts About the Flag

Warhead Clothing

Our American flag has a long and heralded history. Some of the most interesting facts you can learn in the next game of trivia you play with your friends include the following:

Adopted in 1777
The United States Congress officially adopted the red, white, and blue as the American flag on June 14th, 1777. The original version displayed 13 stripes and 13 stars to represent the 13 original colonies of our nation.

Creator of the Current Pattern
The current 50-star pattern was created by a high school student named Robert G. Heft, a 17-year-old high school student in Ohio. His design is still the official lineup for the stars with five rows of six stars and four rows of five stars.

American Flags on the Moon
Our American astronauts have planted six flags on the surface of the moon. The first was planted by Neil Armstrong during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. However, it is the only one of the six that no longer stands because it was blown over by the ship as it departed. The others still stand today on the moon.

Contact Warhead Clothing Company for high-quality military apparel from a veteran-owned-and-operated company. We offer a variety of military hats and shirts in different designs and colors to suit many kinds of tastes.

Click here for our Product FAQ page

How long does shipping take?

We do our best, but cannot guarantee, to get your order out within one business day of you placing (and paying for) it. It takes us on average 1-2 business days for us to fulfill your order. Add to that the time it takes for your chosen shipping carrier to deliver your order.

The shipping estimates provided at check out are calculated in business days and start from when your order is picked up by the shipping carrier. Business days are considered Monday through Friday and excludes holidays and weekends. This timeline is approximate and subject to possible delivery days caused by bad weather or issues from within the shipping company. Wax Liquidizer is not responsible for any delays once your order has been shipped but we will assist you with shipping issues you may have.

All orders are shipped from Vancouver, BC.

Shipping carriers only pick up from us Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

How much is shipping?

Shipping rates are automatically calculated based on your location and weight of your order. We offer free expedited shipping on retail orders over $75 (Shipped via Canada Post with tracking number).  Wholesale orders are shipped on a weight and location scale.

We do not do overnight shipping, however, if you are located within the lower mainland and submit your order before 2:00 PM PST, it's very possible that you will receive your order the next day.

Where do you ship Wax Liquidizer to?

We are currently only shipping within Canada.

If you are located in the US, please visit to make your purchase.

Can I buy Wax Liquidizer at Head Shops, Dispensaries, and Vape Shops?

Our current list of Canadian stores is listed here. If you don’t see your local head shop, dispensary, or vape shop let them know they are missing out on a great product!  If you are a retailer and would like your shop listed on our store locator, please contact us.

I'm located outside of Canada, do your shipping charges include customs and duty fees?

The total paid at check out does not include customs and duty charges. All applicable customs fees, taxes and duties are the sole responsibility of the customer.

Customers are responsible for being aware of and paying any customs fees and duties charged by your country. Customs authorities require that we state the value of your order directly on your package – the value is the retail cost. Wax Liquidizer Canada will not mark any package as a “Gift” in order to attempt to avoid customs and duties fees.

Please note that on rare occasions, customs agents may delay the delivery of some packages at their discretion. This is out of our control and there's nothing we can do to make them process your package faster.

For more information on customs and duties charges, please contact your local customs office.

Shipping Restrictions

Please note that Purolator, DHL, Aramex will not ship to PO Boxes. If you need your order shipped to a PO Box, please select a Canada Post shipping option.

We are not allowed to ship anything with products containing lighter fluid outside of Canada by airmail. Alternatively, we are can send these items by ground/boat, but it will likely take a bit longer. If you are outside of Canada and your order contains a lighter, and you have questions about which shipping option to select, please contact us.

If you cannot find your shipping confirmation email, please contact us and include your name, order number and city and we will send you another email with your tracking number.

My tracking number doesn't work!

Please allow up to 24 hours for the shipping carrier to activate your tracking number. If it is still not working after 24 hours has passed, then please contact us.

How do I cancel my order?

If you need to cancel your order, please contact us as soon as possible. We can only cancel orders that have not been shipped yet.

What happens if my order is lost or damaged?

If we made a mistake with your order, or if there is a defect, please contact us. If you received a defective item, please provide photos of the product and the box your order came in. If you received an incorrect item, please provide a photo of the incorrect item along with your packing slip.

We must be notified of any defects within 2 days of delivery.

If the item is being sent back to us, we will email you a pre-paid shipping label for you to print and tape onto the box. Please use the same box that your order came in originally.  Once we have received and processed the return item, we will then ship you a replacement item. Under no circumstances will replacement items be shipped prior to your defective/incorrect item being returned.

Status is delivered but I did not receive my order.

If your order shows that it was delivered, but you did not receive it, please double check with your neighbors, your mailbox, with any reception/front desk, and your local post office (if delivered by Canada Post/USPS).

If you have looked in all of these places, and still have not received the parcel, then please send us a message for assistance. Then we can file a missing parcel investigation with the shipping carrier. Once we file a missing parcel investigation, the shipping carrier (ie. Canada Post, Purolator, Aramex, DHL) will attempt to locate the parcel. This process can take up to 7-8 business days to complete. If at the conclusion of the investigation the shipping carrier is unable to confirm the location of the parcel, contact you and ask if you would like us to resend your order or provide a refund. The investigation must be concluded with the shipping carrier before any orders are resent or refunded.

My credit card has been charged but I did not receive an order number.  What does this mean?

The most common reason for unsuccessful orders is the billing address not matching the address associated with your credit card. Please double check to make sure that this information matches, or the payment will fail.

If the payment fails, often times, a pending transaction is placed on your account. This transaction will not complete and will be reversed by your credit card company. Depending on your credit card company’s policies, it can take a few business days to fall off. We do not have access to change any of this. Everything is handled through a credit card processor and your credit card company.

If this situation doesn’t apply to you, then it’s possible your email address may be wrong on your order. Please message us, and we can correct the email for you!

If you would like to return your items from your order (that are not damaged or used), please contact us within 14 days from the date your item was delivered to you. Items must be unused and in the original packaging with all accessories.  Once we have approved the return, we will send you a pre-paid shipping label to print out and tape onto the shipping box. Please note that shipping costs will be deducted from your refund. This includes the cost of shipping the order to you, and then shipping the order back to us (ie. both ways).

Refunds will only be issued once your return has been received and processed by us. No exceptions.

What is a twisted yarn webbing

Views:12     Author:Site Editor     Publish Time: 2020-03-23      Origin:Site

twisted nylon yarn webbing twisted yarn webbing

Twisted yarn webbing refers to the raw material of webbing.

The two sections of the yarn are relatively rotated, and the fibers in the yarn that are originally parallel to the yarn axis are inclined into a spiral.

For short fibers, twisting is mainly to increase the strength of the yarn.

Twisting the filament can not only increase the strength of the yarn, but also produce a three-dimensional effect.

How much the yarn is twisted and the combination of the twist direction and twist of the yarn in the fabric have a greater impact on the appearance and performance of the product. Therefore, the twisted yarn is more expensive than the original drawn yarn.

The twist direction refers to the inclined direction of the fibers in a single yarn or the single yarn in a strand after the yarn is twisted. There are two types of S twist and Z twist, S twist = hand twist, Z twist = back hand twist. Any single strand will twist.

High-strength yarn: refers to yarns that can withstand a tensile force greater than 8 grams / denier. High-strength yarns are suitable for webbing that requires high tensile forces, such as webbing for mountain climbing and webbing for lifting heavy objects.

General tensile yarn: Yarns less than 8g / Danny belong to general tensile yarn, suitable for making ordinary tensile webbing, acting on bags and so on.

Hosto Weaving Ltd. since 2005, has been providing high-quality, innovative Nylon webbing, Polyester webbing, Cotton webbing and Polypropylene to global markets.

Wildflowers for Wildlife

Loading Map....

Date(s) - 05/19/2018
9:00 am - 1:00 pm

Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center

Learn how to create a beautiful garden with colorful flowers that attract butterflies, birds and pollinating insects, and find the plants to use. The Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center off of Hwy. 28 between the cities of Horicon and Mayville is the location for the 2018 Wildflowers for Wildlife event Saturday, May 19 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

The 5th annual “Wildflowers for Wildlife: enhancing your own backyard” is sponsored by the Friends of Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center and Friends of Horicon NWR. They have partnered with Taylor Creek Restoration Nurseries and Applied Ecological Services for a native plant sale that will help enhance your backyard, schoolyard, park or natural area and in turn, benefit wildlife.

Why native plants? Native landscaping restores ecosystems that once covered the Midwestern landscape but are now reduced to small parcels. Once native plants are restored, the birds, mammals, reptiles and beneficial insects return too. Native plants also enrich the soil, decrease run-off and filter pollution. In the long run, native landscaping can save money annually in maintenance costs. Native plants have evolved to thrive in a local environment, which means less watering, fertilizer and time.

Native landscapes offer hands-on opportunities for people of all ages to learn about habitats and ecosystems. A native landscape also provides the ideal setting for bird and butterfly watching, photography and nature walks.

Native plants are available for pre-order until March 30, 2018. Plants will be for sale the day of the event. Pre-order forms can be found here. 2018 Wildflowers for Wildlife pre-order form
For more information about plants, call (920) 387-7889 and 920-387-7893 for the event.

Additional information about plants that are available for pre-sale can be found here. pre-sale tags

The Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center is located at N7725 Hwy. 28 in Horicon.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Pandemic Clean-Up: Post 2

I think I have known that I wanted to be a writer since I was in Grade 2.

As I use this long period of social distancing to finally tackle the room full of mementoes I have accumulated over this lifetime of mine; as I sift through the stuff that past versions of me decided to keep as a snapshot of my life at certain key moments, I am struck by how most of the things that were precious enough for me to keep had something to do with writing.

Some of it is very sweet: there is a diary – the kind made for little girls, with a little lock on the front – that paints a picture of how I filled my days with my friends when I was 10 years old, complete with detailed accounts of nosebleeds, first crushes and little-girl squabbles. There are the innumerable motivational quotes that I once pasted on the bathroom mirror and then tucked away when a new motivational quote took its place. There are hundreds of letters to and from my parents, my grandparents, cherished aunts and uncles and a few cherished friends. I even kept a clumsily handmade grade six newsletter because it includes a poem I wrote: the first time I was ever ‘published’.

I’ve always been a little compulsive about saving all the bits of paper and inanimate objects that imperfectly tell the story – however insignificant – of where I’ve been and what I’ve done.

I kept a great number of mementoes from my working years as well. The best parts of my many years of employment were always when I was called upon to write. My all-time favourite job required me to write grant proposals (Oh, joy!!!) and then, when we got the funding, to act as the project coordinator through to the completion of the project. To my delight, I also got to write up the year-end reports that the government required at the completion of each project. It was many years before I discovered that some people actually hated doing those sorts of jobs. I could not for the life of me imagine why.

The only downside was that I struggled almost my entire working life as a contractual worker. Suffice it to say, I thought I had died and gone straight to heaven the year I finally got a full-time job to do project development. For three full years, I actually got to write almost all day; every day. It was the perfect job for me and I could not believe my good fortune.

There is a reason, though, that we are frequently warned to be careful what we wish for. Contract workers work in solitude. They often take on the jobs no one else wants to do. They tend to be appreciated for exactly that reason. They don’t make many friends but  they don’t make many enemies either. Quite late in life, I joined a ‘team’ for the first time in my career, and over the next five years, I would learn that sometimes, ‘teamwork’ is not all that it is cracked up to be. Some teams do not take well to newbies crashing their party.

Since my adrenal-fatigue burn-out five years ago, I have spent a great deal of the last five years in a gentle fog of peace and gratitude, but lately, the hurt and the anger of a lifetime seem to be oozing, unbidden, from my brain and out through my fingers as I set my little story to paper.

It surely hasn’t helped that I decided, once and for all, that I will never have a better reason than a world-wide pandemic to stay indoors and clean out my closets (both figuratively and literally, it would appear). I kept so much stuff! 58 years worth of stuff, to be precise. And because I want this done with, once and for all, I am trying very hard to be reasonable; logical and economical in what I keep and what I discard. My personal goal is to limit all these mementoes I have felt compelled to keep, into one neat scrapbook.

It’s been slow going though. As I take this time to review the good memories along with the bad, the fog has cleared and the poison is just pouring out, unchecked. I have found myself thinking in exclamation points and stopping more frequently than I could ever have imagined to put my surprised thoughts to paper. In particular, what has struck me as I have worked is the tonnage of my own work I have kept from my ‘happy’ years: newspaper articles, stories, (really bad) poems, reports I wrote, train tickets, photos of beloved friends and colleagues.

Strange though, but in the period of my career when I got to do the most writing, I have not kept one report, one article, one scrap of paper that I wrote myself. If not for the lovely notes I received from a great many cherished and supportive colleagues, there would be nothing to even prove that I was there at all.

I know we all have scars. I know that mine are no deeper and no uglier than anyone else’s. I’m just a bit surprised to discover that even subconsciously, I never felt the need to keep mementoes of those times.

The scars have always been reminder enough, I guess.

I write what I feel. And I rarely know exactly what I feel until I write. I have lived long enough to have known many joys and many sorrows. I have made many mistakes; I have forgiven myself for a few… I have learned that there are lessons in every step of this journey, if we only take the time to pay attention… I hope you will feel free to pick and choose the stories that resonate for you…

      1. Ruthless as a word never works well for me in the long run–I can be ruthless if I know I am unlikely to survive the gunfire, for example, but me being ruthless in the face of something less violent and dramatic often results in regrets. You may be completely differeent, but it works better for me to be friendly to the things I have and love, so I can be reconciled to them if it’s time to let them go. In my case, I keep all of it, and then maybe will burn it someday, or finish writing books, or whatever, but it’s contained in some metal bozex and if fine there now for me.

      2. It has been an interesting week, with some lovely, positive realizations, and a few gushes of anger as I encountered a great number of past hurts. Maybe ‘ruthless’ wasn’t the most accurate word. I have been putting the ‘treasures’ in a scrapbook and lovingly, very gently, putting the items that only ever remind me of past hurts into a ‘burn’ pile. And then writing about it 😊 I am very grateful I have had this time to do this. No where near done, but happy with my progress. And yes, I love how you put it: I really am being friendly to my things, even the painful ones 😊💕

      3. That seems like a great idea. It makes no sense to keep something that only makes you feel bad, and writing about it and processing it seems so wise. I think doing even some is better than doing none, and it might energetically snowball in a way and keep the healthy energy flowing more. Good luck with it.

Think Parkour is Just For Men? These 5 Moves Will Change Your Mind

Have you heard of parkour yet? Whether you’ve seen exhilarating clips on YouTube or watched pros go at it in the streets, you might find this energetic discipline quite attractive. So, why don’t you try it for yourself? Contrary to popular belief, this sport is not for the few, but the many. No matter what your skill or fitness level, engaging in this practice could help you to get faster and stronger in no time at all.

When you get a grasp on the sport, you will no longer need to head to the gym to workout – you can do it whenever and wherever you please. Here’s what you need to know.

What is Parkour?

Looking for a parkour definition? Also called freerunning, this high-energy sport is the practice of moving quickly and freely through any given terrain. Most often, that terrain will be a city or urban environment. However, it could just as easily be applied to a rural area. The non-competitive activity involves a whole range of motions, including running, jumping, climbing, and quadrupedal movements. As such, it’s a full body workout. The focus is not on competing, but on the art of self-improvement.

Needless to say, parkour involves a range of skills that you will need to develop. You should be agile, at the peak of physical fitness, strong, and have excellent coordination to pull this off. Despite that fact, people of any level can get started. The more you begin to train and work hard at the practice, the further you will get.

History of parkour

While the sport has risen in popularity in recent years, it actually dates back decades. In the 1980s, a group nine of Frenchmen founded the practice. The original name for the sport was not parkour at all but “Art du Deplacement”.[1] However, some years later in 1998, one of the men, David Belle, renamed the sport “parkour”. The word is a reference to the French term “parcours” which translates directly as “route” or “course.”

Over the years, the sport has become popular with both men and women around the world, but especially here in the US. The energetic practice requires people to vault obstacles, climb walls, and jump onto walls, among other seemingly difficult feats of fitness. For that reason, it could never be said to be a dull or, indeed, boring pastime.

Someone who practices parkour is usually referred to as a traceur. The feminine form of this French word is traceuse.

The difference between parkour and freerunning

So, what’s the difference between parkour and running? Well, nothing, technically. The two terms can be used interchangeably and you shouldn’t worry too much about which you choose to use.

Guillaume Pelletier, a French parkour athlete, invented the word “freerunning” back in 2003.[2] At the time, he was involved in the making a British documentary on the subject of the sport. He chose the term as the best way to convey the essence of the sport to English speakers around the world.

However, since the inception of the word “freerunning”, there has been a slight shift in its meaning. While parkour is about finding the fastest route through an area, freerunners often like to take things to a new level. You may find that they include acrobatic and gymnastic moves in their practice. For instance, it’s more likely that a freerunner would do a flip mid-trial while a parkour athlete would not.

What Are the Benefits of Parkour For Women?

Are you considering giving parkour a whirl? This enticing activity has a wealth of benefits for women. Not only does the sport offer a full-body workout, but it also helps you improve your fitness in a wide range of areas. Before we get started and take a look at how to parkour, let’s have a look at why you might want to try it for yourself. Here’s what you need to know about how this high-speed practice could improve your health and wellness.

Lower risk of cardiovascular problems

Aerobic exercise is an essential part of parkour training. Participants must run, jump, and generally use a wealth of energy to move around. While this is, no doubt, more challenging than your average aerobics class, we mustn’t ignore the fact that you still get more than a full workout when you take part. This high-intensity activity could have a remarkably beneficial impact on your overall health and, in particular, your heart.

Research from the Universidad de Cádiz found a strong link between moderate and high aerobic exercise and a lower risk of heart attacks.[3] In fact, engaging in an aerobic activity on a regular basis can decrease your chances of suffering from a cardiac arrest by between a massive 58% and 72%. If you’re struggling to find the motivation to attend regular classes, trying something engaging like freerunning could be the answer.

Offers a full-body workout

Few sports work the entirety of your body quite as well as parkour or freerunning. From using your core strength to lift yourself over obstacles to raising your heart-rate by sprinting, this practice requires you to push your body to its absolute limits. The benefits of taking up a sport like this one are almost endless when it comes to your fitness.

And that’s not a bad thing. Training in these intense conditions means that you work all areas of your body. The sport combines strength training, aerobics, and, in some cases, even gymnastics. What’s more, the sheer diversity of the practice is perhaps what makes it so much fun when you first start out. Unlike other sports, it gives you the chance to experiment with a wide range of practices and improve your fitness as you move.

Helps lift your mood

Feeling a little down in the dumps? We all have days when our emotions are low and we don’t quite feel ourselves. When you’re feeling a bit blue, one of the most effective solutions is to work out and engage in some form of activity. As we have already covered, parkour combines a selection of sports and practices to create one original activity.

Research suggests that taking part in acute (i.e. extreme or serious) aerobic exercise could help individuals regulate their moods and literally feel happier.[4] If you have trouble managing your emotions, like so many of us do, using exercise as a way to solve this problem is a healthy way to cope. Parkour is one of the more extreme forms of cardio or aerobic workouts in which you can engage, making it the ideal way to go.

Could help to relieve insomnia

Insomnia isn’t merely about failing to fall to sleep. In the US, between 30% and 35% of us suffer from mild bouts of insomnia. Plus, a further 10% of people in the country have to battle what’s known as “chronic insomnia disorder”.[5] The symptoms of these conditions include fatigue, a lack of focus, poor memory, erratic moods, and low motivation.

The condition is more prevalent among women than it is men.[6] To make matters worse, this particular condition increases in likelihood as we age. It’s crucial that we each do all we can to avoid the problem in any way possible. Should you be struggling with this particular condition, finding a way to manage it will be your top priority.

Research from Northwestern University linked regular aerobic exercise with a higher quality of overall sleep at night.[7] The participants who took part in the study all suffered from self-reported insomnia. They were split into two groups, one of which took regular exercise, while the others did not. Both groups received information about improving their sleep and changing their habits.

The results indicated that engaging in a form of exercise in the day could seriously improve how much sleep (and the quality of sleep!) you get at night. Those in the active group had a higher level of improvement when it came to their sleep and rest patterns. As though that weren’t enough, they also reported fewer depressive feelings and more vitality.

So, Can Women Do it Too?

“Can women practice parkour?” is one of the questions that comes up all too often when we talk about parkour. Perhaps this is because it tends to be a male-dominated sport, so some women may wonder whether they would be able to do the moves, let alone fit in with the community. Some may even wonder if it’s safe for women to do.

The short answer to all of these questions is, yes – of course!

Much like CrossFit and other extreme sports, there’s simply no reason that this particular practice should not be accessible or safe for women to practice. In fact, there are many professional female parkour trainers out there, who are leaders within the field.[8] The parkour community is known for embracing anyone who expresses interest in joining, so don’t fear approaching a group near you!

The popularity of parkour among women is certainly growing lately too. For example, in Egypt, there’s been a recent surge in the number of female parkour athletes, according to a report by Reuters.[9] This trend highlights that it is indeed a practice that both men and women alike can learn. Of course, whenever you’re training, it’s important that you work to a level that matches your skill and current fitness as well.

What’s more, many women have taken their parkour training to an entirely new level of late. The World Freerunning and Parkour Federation list number of female athletes who have made a name for themselves in the field. Notable women in the sport include Krisnara Almeida from Brazil and Beth Holland from the UK.

How to Start Parkour Training

Now that you’re clear on the parkour meaning, it’s time to take a look at how you can get started. It’s worth understanding that there are some strikingly simple moves that you can try for yourself at home. However, if you’re truly serious about becoming an athlete, you will need some expert advice and support along the way. Luckily, thanks to the growing popularity of this sport, you should have no problem finding somewhere to train.

Parkour classes and training

Parkour doesn’t just happen on the street. You can find parkour classes just about anywhere in the country. When searching for a parkour training session, make sure that you’re clear about what you want. You should look for a session that is specifically for beginners, rather than one at a higher level. This type of discipline can be extremely difficult and if you go in at a level that’s too high, you could run the risk of injury.

So, what should you expect from your first set of parkour classes? Sadly, you’re unlikely to be climbing massive walls in your first training session. The beginners’ exercises are ones that you will most likely be somewhat familiar with. As the aim of the game is to build your core strength, you will likely find yourself doing sets of sit-ups, push-ups, squats, and pull-ups when you first get started. Don’t worry – this won’t last forever.

After a matter of weeks, when your strength has improved, it will be time to move onto some more exciting parkour moves. Since jumping is such a fundamental part of your parkour training, it’s probable that this will be the next thing on which you focus.

You will learn skills such as precision jumping, vaulting, and, of course, how to land safely. The point here is not to rush the process; it takes some longer than others. Instead, focus on being concise in your movements and getting each one right. Of course, as you train more and more, you will be able to unlock new skills and try new moves.

How to find the right parkour gym for you

When you’re looking for classes, using the search term “parkour gyms near me” is a good place to start. However, you may also want to look on the official American Parkour website.[10] The academy runs a variety of parkour classes for all skill levels in Washington DC. Aside from that, you can attend summer camps and programs throughout the year.

If you don’t live in the Washington area, there’s no need to fret. You should have no issue finding parkour classes nearby. When checking out sessions, you should ask one simple question: Is this instructor American Parkour (APK) certified? Trainers with this particular certification should have all the skills that you need to progress quickly and easily through the program. While there may be good trainers without this qualification, it’s worth looking for an athlete in which you can have the utmost confidence.

Essential Gear You’ll Need: Parkour Shoes, Pants, and Gloves

As with most extreme sports, you will need to make sure that you have the right type of gear before you get started. Choosing both clothing and protective items that are fit for purpose will go some way to making sure that you’re safe and secure when engaging in parkour training. If you need a little help along the way, we completely have you covered. Here’s a quick rundown of the types of parkour gear in which you should invest.

Parkour Shoes

Perhaps one of the most important pieces of parkour gear you will need is a sturdy pair of shoes. Major female parkour shoe brands include Nike and Rochester Parkour. When looking for the best parkour shoes, there are a few things that you absolutely have to keep in mind. Each pair of parkour shoes should have:

  • Cushioning/padding – Opting for a pair that gives you extra comfort through padding in the sole is the smartest way to go. Often enough, when you’re training, you will find that you have to jump and land quickly. This extra level of protection will make you feel super comfortable.
  • Lightweight – When you’re running and jumping around, the last thing you want is anything that’s about to slow you down. With that in mind, you should opt for a lighter pair of shoes. Pick some that have a thin, canvas material. You can also check the weight in the product description to make sure that the shoes aren’t too heavy.
  • Flexible with high arches – When it comes to flexibility, one of the major things that you need to look for is high arches. There should be a defined arch in the middle of the shoes. Make sure that the arch is as flexible as possible. You can move them yourself to see how much they will bend.
  • Compound soles – The best parkour shoes tend to have a high level of grip. Before you buy a pair, take a look at the bottom of them. You want a pair of shoes that have hard compound soles, i.e. ones that are made out of durable, hard-wearing material. These will help you to stay on track.

Parkour Pants

When it comes to choosing parkour pants, it’s essential that you pick a pair that doesn’t restrict your movement in any way at all. This sport will see you running, jumping, and quite possibly contorting yourself into some rather odd positions. With that in mind, you need to ensure that the parkour gear you get is suitable for the activity.

You can get specifically tailored parkour pants in stores these days. If you’re willing to invest in a quality pair of pants, choosing one of the high-end brands is certainly the way to go. There are still more options for men than women at the moment, but many designs are rather unisex. Some of the most popular brands include Farang Clothing and The Motus Projects. Take the time to check out what each has to offer before choosing a pair of parkour pants that suit you.

Parkour Gloves

First starting out in parkour? One of the most essential pieces of gear you should get is a pair of gloves. You will use your hands during freerunning and parkour much more frequently than you would in other types of training. That’s why you should make sure that you protect your hands and do all that you can to prevent any injuries. Top glove brands include Harbinger Fitness and Seibertron Outdoor. Here are a couple of the key features you need to look for in parkour gloves:

  • Fingerless – Flexibility is key when it comes to your parkour gloves! Fingerless ones tend to work best, allowing for more movement than full gloves. Look for a pair of gloves that offers a little support around the base of each finger but does not have the full material in that area.
  • Strong and hard-wearing – You need a pair that is made from hard-wearing material and gives you a high level of protection. Look for a reinforced material with an inner and outer layer. Some parkour gloves actually have plastic or netted paneling on them, which give you more grip than you would otherwise have. The stronger they are, the better!

Protective Gear

Finally, let’s take a quick moment to talk about protective parkour gear. It just so happens to be a rather controversial topic among freerunning and parkour athletes. Wearing too much protective gear can hinder your movement and, essentially, slow you down. Don’t make that mistake. However, when you’re new to the practice, you may feel more comfortable with some level of protection. You can wear knee and elbow protectors and similar protective gear, but it’s not recommended in the long-run.

5 Beginner Parkour Moves to Get Started

Ready to give parkour a shot? While you’re unlikely to be scaling buildings from the offset, there are some beginner parkour moves you can try right away. These next activities don’t take an uber high skill level but will help you to work on your strength, flexibility, and agility. Heading to your local parkour gym is the best place to start as they will have all the gear and equipment, not to mention advice, that you could ever need. Here are five moves.

1. High Jump

The high jump is just what the name describes – a jump in which you leap as high off the ground as you can manage. When you start properly parkour training, you will need to jump directly over various objects, walls, and obstacles. Height is crucial. One of the ways in which you can practice is by learning to high jump.

  • Targeted muscles: Quads and core
  • Repetitions: 20 per set
  • Time: 5 minutes

How to do it

You can do this is your gym or at home. Start with your legs apart and your knees slightly bent. Crouch down and in one swift movement jump upward. Try to gain as much height as you can. Repeat this action 20 times in sequence. The more you practice, the higher you should be able to go. Keep at it! You should try to engage in this particular parkour activity every day for the best results.

Pro Tip: Learning the high jump has a very distinct purpose. When you’ve managed to gain enough height, you can add to this move. As you’re going to be using this skill to jump over obstacles, you need the ability to propel yourself forward at the same time. This next part of the move will take some practice to get right.

When you’re in mid-air, shift your body as far forward as you can manage. You can use your arms to gain movement by shifting them swiftly backward as you jump. Try measuring how far you move each time and attempting to beat your record.

2. Swinging Through

You will need professional equipment in order to execute this move so it’s best to hit up a parkour gym and get practicing. Swinging Through is a method of traveling, which is often used as part of the main type of parkour training. Much like you played on the monkey bars when you were a child, the move requires you to swing from bar to bar.

  • Targeted muscles: Biceps, triceps, and core
  • Repetitions: 10 bars per set
  • Time: 2 minutes

How to do it

You will need to use the parkour bars in your gym for this particular exercise. Begin by taking a run up to the bars to give you some speed. When you reach them, jump as high as you can and grab hold of the first bar with both hands. Swing backward and use that motion to propel yourself forward with as much force as possible.

Next, grab the following bar with one arm and swing your entire body forward. Continue in this motion for around 10 or more bars. Of course, you should listen to the advice of your parkour trainer when you’re completing this move. As you practice, you should gain upper body and core strength, both of which will boost your fitness.

Pro Tip: When you first get started with this parkour move, you may find that it’s helpful to keep one hand on the bar as you swing to the next. However, as you progress, you should find that you can kick things up a gear. Leaping from bar to bar (by letting go of each bar) is a skill in itself. Of course, you will need an expert to advise you along the way.

3. Tic Tac

The art of parkour is all about using the urban environment to inform your practice. Of course, one of the things that you will use time and time again is the humble brick wall. Before you start scaling these things and using them in some extreme parkour training, this is a simple move that you can learn for yourself.

  • Targeted muscles: Quads and core
  • Repetitions: 10 per set
  • Time: 2 minutes

How to do it

First of all, you will need a wall on which to practice. Your local parkour gym will have a safe wall that you can use. The first step is to run toward the wall at a diagonal angle. Note: You don’t want to run directly toward the wall or you could cause yourself an injury.

When you reach the wall, leap up with one foot and push the other foot toward the wall. Use it as a springboard to push yourself off and leap at a 90-degree angle away from the wall. You should use as much force as possible.

Pro Tip: While you will need speed to pull off this particular parkour move, you should make sure that precision comes first. Should you put your foot in the wrong position, you will find that you end up hurting your ankle. Take the time to ensure that you get the move right, rather than trying to rush through it.

4. Safety Land/Parkour Roll

As we’ve already discussed, one of the core practices when it comes to parkour is jumping. Before you go hopping around, though, you need to make sure that you know how to land correctly. The last thing you want is to hurt yourself when you first take off.

  • Targeted muscles: Quads and core
  • Repetitions: 10 per set
  • Time: 3 minutes

How to do it

Before you attempt this move, you need to make sure that you have a soft gymnastics mat. You can start out by doing any possible jump you feel like. As the name suggests, it’s the landing that’s important here. As you come down into landing position, you should bend your knees and crouch down low. Roll over your shoulder and leap to stand again.

The entire move should be one fluid motion. If you’ve ever done a forward roll, you will find that the skill will come into handy now. Of course, if you’re completely new to this type of movement, you should practice it as often as possible. The more you try to get it right, the better you will find the landing process. Give it a go!

Pro Tip: Learning landing for yourself? Don’t make the mistake of trying to do this move alone. Having an instructor with you will mean that you get the process right. You should also ensure that you don’t put your weight on your upper body as you roll over. Doing so would put you at risk of an injury. Always put your personal safety first at all times.

5. Stride

Bottom to top view of woman doing parkour training jumping across an obstacle in the woods surrounded by tall trees

Moving quickly through any environment will take you a series of strides. With that in mind, mastering this basic parkour move is a sure-fire way to improve your skill set. There are two ways in which you can practice this move – either on the floor or across a series of small objects or boxes.

  • Targeted muscles: Quads and core
  • Repetitions: 20 per set
  • Time: 4 minutes

How to do it

For the basic move, you will need to complete a series of precision leaps. Start at one end of a track, and leap with one leg forward. As you land, you should push the other leg forward and leap onto that foot instead. The complete move will look like a gliding or running motion. Again, while you need to gain speed during this move, you should mainly focus on getting your footing correct and landing safely. Try a sequence of 20 strides.

Pro Tip: When you’ve mastered this move on the ground, it’s time to take it to the next level – literally. Place a series of short boxes (plyometric boxes will work well!) next to one another in a linear structure. Now, it’s time to put your skills to the test. Start by standing on one of the boxes and using the striding motion to move from box to box. Take care not to fall!

4 Safety Tips to Remember When Practicing

Your safety should always be your top priority. For that reason, it’s worth keeping a few small golden rules in mind when you begin to train. As with all extreme forms of exercise, you will find that your risk level soars when you give this a go. Of course, you need to make sure that you work with an instructor and expert at all times. Plus, there are some extra safety measures you can take too. Here are four things of which you should be conscious at all times.

  1. Don’t try parkour at home!
    While there are some moves you can do at home, such as simple squats, sit-ups, and push-ups, most standard parkour moves need special knowledge and equipment. With that in mind, it’s worth finding a parkour gym as soon as you’d like to begin training. That way, you can tap into the expertise of the trainer to help you along the way.
  2. Progress slowly and steadily
    Make no mistake, learning the practice of parkour will take you quite some time. You will by no means be a professional athlete overnight. And nor should you expect to be. Take things slowly and progress at your own level. Listen to your body. If you feel that you’re pushing yourself too hard at any point, stop and take things more slowly.
  3. Always stretch before you begin
    You should never underestimate the power of stretching. You need to limber your muscles well enough before you undergo any extreme form of physical exercise. There are different types of stretching you can engage in, each of which will help you prepare for your activity. Get into the habit of stretching before you start out with any given routine.
  4. Fuel your body with nutritious food
    When you’re taking part in any form of intense exercise, you burn a whole load of energy. Of course, you need to give your body the fuel it requires to move. Eating a balanced diet is the baseline rule here. You may also want to supplement this with some protein bars and balls. That way, you can ensure that you never run low on energy!

What are you waiting for? Now that you know all there is to know about parkour, you can go ahead and get started. This highly diverse sport allows you to use a range of skills and abilities. Adding it to your training routine is sure to increase your fitness while also allowing you to develop your agility and more.

Planning Ahead for Your Dumpster Rental in Lester

Planning ahead for your construction dumpsters for rent in Lester will make your project easier and safer to finish on time. When renting a dumpster in Lester, follow these suggestions to help you plan ahead.

1. Clear an area that's large enough for the dumpster to sit down for a number of days or weeks. Additionally, make sure that you and other individuals have access to the dumpster. You must have a clear path that prevents injuries.

2. Prepare the items you want to remove. If you are cleaning out a waterlogged basement, for example, attempt to remove as a lot of the damaged stuff before the dumpster arrives.

3. Get any permits you may need. If your plan is to depart the dumpster on a public road, then you certainly might need permission from the city.

4. Have your safety gear ready. This includes gloves, back supports, and other things which you'll need to dispose of your debris when the dumpster arrives.

Rubbish removal vs construction dumpsters for rent in Lester - Which is good for you?

For those who own a job you are about to undertake at home, you may be wondering if it's better to hire someone to come haul off all your trash and crap for you, or in case you should just rent a dumpster in Lester and load it yourself.

Renting a container is a better option in case you prefer the flexibility to load it on your own time and you do not mind doing it yourself to save on job. Dumpsters also function nicely in case you have at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Roll offs normally start at 10 cubic yards, so if you just have 3-4 yards of waste, you are paying for a lot more dumpster than you want.

Trash or rubbish removal makes more sense in case you prefer another person to load your old stuff. Additionally, it works nicely if you prefer it to be taken away quickly so it's out of your hair, or in case you simply have a few big things; this is likely cheaper than renting a whole dumpster.

30 yard dumpster dimensions in Lester

If you rent a 30 yard dumpster, you will be getting a container that will hold 30 cubic yards of waste or debris. Your 30 yard container will measure about 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 6 feet high. These amounts could vary somewhat determined by the construction dumpsters for rent company in Lester you pick. A 30 yard dumpster will hold between 9 and 15 pickup truck loads of waste, so itis a great choice for whole-dwelling residential cleanouts as well as commercial cleanup projects.

Examples of projects that would generate enough waste for a 30 yard container include:

  • A leading dwelling addition
  • Construction of a new dwelling
  • A garage demolition
  • Whole-dwelling window or siding replacement (for a small- to moderate-size dwelling)

The weight allowance for a 30 yard dumpster will range from 2 to 8 tons (4,000 to 16,000 pounds). Be sure to do not exceed this weight limit or you could face overage charges.

Getting the top quote on your dumpster

One of the greatest concerns you likely have when renting a dumpster in Lester is how much it will cost. One of the top ways to negate this fear would be to get accurate info. When you phone to get a price quote, have a good idea of how much waste you'll have to eliminate so you may get the top recommendation on dumpster size. In the event you are not sure on the total amount of waste, renting a size larger will save you the extra expense of renting a second dumpster if the first proves overly small.

Supply any info you believe is applicable to ensure you do not end up paying for services that you do not really need. More than a few companies charge by the container size, while others charge by weight. Make sure you know which is which so you have a clear quote. Also ensure that you request if the quote you receive comprises landfill coststhis is going to keep you from being surprised by an additional fee later.

Can I haggle to get a better price?

Dumpster rental companies normally have set costs, but the fine art of negotiation is constantly in play. If you'd like to dicker on the price, call around to other firms first so you understand what the going rental rate is. When you're speaking to the business you want to use, only mention other costs which are better than theirs. Some firms WOn't just fit that lower cost, they'll really defeat it to suit their customers.

20 yard dumpster dimensions in Lester

A 20 yard dumpster can carry about 20 cubic yards of waste or debris. Normal dimensions for a 20 yard container are about 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 4.5 feet high.

  • Clean-Up from a cellar, loft or garage
  • Flooring and carpet removal from a big house
  • 300 to 400 square feet of deck removal

Redshirts to Become a Television Series

A nice little bit of news to send us all off into the weekend. The details are here.

(Update: I have more to say about the deal, here.)

100 Comments on “Redshirts to Become a Television Series”

  1. Totally cool. Now I’m glad that I asked you to sign my copy of the book when you were in AZ last summer promoting the Human Division! Congratulations!

  2. Is this one of those things where it’s actually going to happen, or is this like having an option a book for a movie?

  3. Too bad Paramount didn’t pick it up. Excuse me, sir, but you seem to have gotten your meta in my meta.

  4. That’s really meta fun!

    And this is me holding out hope Wil Wheaton gets cast as Lt. Kerensky :)

  5. Congrats! I was thinking it would be a movie or t.v. movie, but a limited (mini) series is basically a long movie, in the British tradition, so that should work nicely. Can’t wait to hear who gets cast.

    This is awesome, I just can’t wait. Will it be a miniseries sort of thing, or what?

  7. That is some grade a irony there. Can’t wait to see it. Good luck with the adaptation

  8. Awesome news. I’ve been having a pretty good day and you just managed to brighten it.

  9. The material is perfect for a limited series. This is absolutely fantastic – I’m so happy for you, John! Now I get to recommend the book to all my friends *again*!!!

  10. Remember John, I posted at this blog before you became famous. Seriously, Congratulations. It’s not wholly undeserved. :-)

  11. Utterly cool. I hope they do justice to the material. Who should play the parts? Newcomers? Established stars?

  12. In the fourth episode, someone will come knock on your door to talk about the series.

  13. Awesome! Should be fun. Although if you can stop Fox showing it in the wrong order, that would be even better ;)

    Back to back with original ST would be suitably meta.

    Enjoy the royalty checks!

  14. And Exec Producer – doesn’t that translate into more $?

    I want to see the icesharks. Preferably with lasers on their heads.

  15. On-screen sci-fi comedy is fraught with peril. Hope this works!
    Then again, it’s got components of Galaxy Quest and The Voyage Home, so it could work a treat.

  16. That cop guy from Almost Human as Dahl! And they better use Agent Coulton’s song in the credits.

  17. When you (eventually) picked Athena up from school after forgetting to do so in your excitement over this news, after your apology, you should have pointed out that this means she can go to the college of her choice.

  18. At first I was checking the calendar to make sure April hadn’t snuck up on me … AWESOME!!!

  19. This made me laugh out loud at work at the awesomeness of the news. And I agree that Wil Wheaton should be in the cast! (Ooh, and Rothfuss as Jenkins is nice casting, too). Congrats, and enjoy your weekend celebration of whatever sort.

  20. Mr. Scalzi as Dahl, Felicia Day as Duvall, Pat Rothfuss as Jenkins…

    And Jeffery Combs as Hester, because I love Jeffery Combs. And Wil Wheaton as Hanson.

    Have William Shatner as Abernathy and Leonard Nimoy as Spock–I mean, Chief Science Officer Q’eeng. And Simon Pegg as West, and Karl Urban as the doctor whose name I always forget, because unfortunately the original Bones and Scotty are dead. And Jonathan Frakes as Kerensky, because humor.

    That would probably max out the parody. I would pay to see that in theaters, mutiple times.

  21. Holy moly. This sounds like the threshold to the really big-time, all medianized and stuff. If you get a jet like Clancy can we buy seats to the next Worldcon?

  22. I hope it actually makes it to screen, is a big hit and makes you a butt load of money. Karma indeed.

  23. I love the idea of Redshirts as a limited-run or mini-series, but I have no idea how they could make the concept work over the course of multiple seasons.

    I guess that’s why Shestack and Kwapis get the big bucks.

  24. You know John, with all the dough you’re clearly rolling in, I don’t think it’s right to continue charging extra for the premium content on the Whatever.

  25. I suggest you hire the entire cast of Firefly, which will delight and confuse the hell out of everyone.

  26. In related news, the coverage of the announcement in Gawker’s sci-fi blog io9 initially misspelled the name of the book/show in the most cringingly hilarious way possible. They have fixed the headline but the error lives on in the post’s url:

    I am in primary celebratory phase right now, pending the announcement of the length of the Limited Series and the composition of the cast. I suspect Wheaton is camping out at the FX offices as we speak…

  27. I see they’re still looking for the best writer for the project. Hmmm, I -do- still have my dusty old WGA card in a drawer somewhere. And my sole screenwriting credit (for ST:TNG) is actually kind of pertinent. But would I really want to try and drop back onto that path of meat-grinder competiveness? (Probably not. I’m sure Shestack and Kwapis are already receiving queries from writers who are actually still active and agented.)

    I may actually give the idea some time as a thought-experiment, though. I think REDSHIRTS would be difficult to do right, but easy to do badly. The main narrative could be an enjoyable farce. But I’ve always thought that it was the addition of the Codas that gave REDSHIRTS extra heart and depth and soul, and made it stand out from other metafictional farces.

    But how to take something odd-but-acceptable in a published book (larger main narrative with connected short stories included at the end of the book) and turn it into something suitable for a television limited-series? I think one would have to somehow take the Codas and weave them into that main narrative so the sub-stories of the Codas developed at the same pace as the main narrative.

    That would make writing REDSHIRTS for television a lot more complicated and difficult. My fear is that the project will end up taking the easy way out and just say “Dump the Codas”.

    – – –

    Actually, if I could adapt any book I wanted for movies or television, it wouldn’t be REDSHIRTS. (Sorry, John.) It would be Alexander Berkmann’s PRISON MEMOIRS OF AN ANARCHIST. I actually pitched the idea a few times when I got called out to meet with producers over scripts I’d submitted. (“What else ya’ got?” they’d always ask.) The pitch got some “Hmm, interesting,” responses, but nothing beyond that. (Berkmann was, to put it lightly, a difficult protagonist in his own life. The tagline I pitched for the idea was “Hero. Monster. Fool.”)

    – – –

    A note of pragmatic cynicism for everyone: One thing you learn trying to be a screenwriter (after the ST:TNG sale, I spent several years trying to sell movie scripts) is that for a project to actually reach completion in Hollywood, there are a thousand things that have to go right. And there are TEN thousand things that can go wrong.

  28. Wait – did someone pitch it as being like “Game of Thrones” in space or something?

    Because I’m not sure how you’re going to squeeze in 20 minutes of boobs, beheadings, and exposition over scenes of graphic lesbian lust into the story…

  29. Okay. When i saw this, I had an actual attack of uncontrollable squeeing and flailing in delight. Then I realized how odd it is for me to be so wildly excited because “OMGOMGOMGOMG NOW I’M GONNA BE ABLE TO WATCH THAT BOOK I READ ON TV!”

    But, y’know, whatever. Fun doesn’t have to be logical. *recommences flailing*

  30. Congratulations. Wheaton’s involvement is a must, and you need to have something for George Takei too.

  31. Oh. George Takei…as all of the male random redshirts (Chen, Davis, Weston, the guys who got eaten at the station, the guys who got killed by evil spider monsters, Sid Black (in a flashback), et cetera).

    Because fucking awesome.

    Alternatively, have him play Abernathy, and use William Shatner for the redshirts. Because George Takei’s still in great shape, and he could stand to lose his shirt a few times.

  32. So…
    A television series
    based on a book
    about people who come to realize that
    they’re characters in a book
    about characters who come to realize that
    they’re characters in a television series

    I think a small part of my universe just collapsed into a singularity.

    (p.s., congratulations!)

  33. I can’t wait for the making-of special about the series based on the book about the series etc. Not to mention the years-later docudrama (see An Adventure in Space and Time) about how it came to pass that they made a series about…

    If there really are a true infinity of universes, then for every universe there’s another in which the people of the first universe are characters in a book, series, or book about a series. And that’s true of the second universe too…

  34. When does the book about the TV series get published? Do you know yet who will be the author?

  35. “If Jorge Luis Borges had been a staff writer on the original Star Trek, he would no doubt have concocted a story like Redshirts.”

    I know it’s part of the producers job to be all gushy, but dayum…

    So how does it feel to be the Borges of Star Trek?

  36. Dear John: Wow. I never thought I’d ever start a letter saying THAT. I have just finished re-reading my hard backed copy of Redshirts that I ordered from your local bookstore that you were nice enough to sign for me. what can I say, I am a fan.
    My first impression of it wasn’t a good one, and had left it on the shelf until the recent announcement of it becoming a series. I can’t tell you how many times I had gone through Androids dream, Fuzzy nation, agent to the stars and the old man’s war series. I even went through your short story for metatropolis. These stories were so good I couldn’t even imagine you writing crap, so I decided I’d give redshirts another try. I hope this means my pallet has matured because I now realized how good it is, and for such a hard concept to put into words (it made me think a little more than your other stories).
    An amazing talent you have (and one that I am trying to develop) is one that allows you to take on an individuals point of view so completely, so personally, it is truly believable (the point of view, not the talent).
    I look forward to the stories that come out of the series redshirts, I hope they do it justice.
