Old Gangsta Nicknames
Here are some photos from our last event for the recovery of the American Civil War.
The last weekend we have recreated a hospital northerner guarded by militiamen of Kansas and attacked by the rider of the expedition of General Price in 1864. To reconstruct the clothes (which will seem very different!) I refer to research conducted by our historian, on the forum CCFF comprising the 20th Maine and the French messes, each participating associations.
the two groups are part of what the Americans casually refer to "progressive" ie requiring a level of authenticity. So the soldier wore only equipment made as at the time (hand sewing shoes pegged wood ...) do that a soldier was at the time, sleep, eat .... as at the time!

outfits presented are those of the militia of Kansas mixture of uniforms and federal civil effects. The first illustration comes from an exceptional document, the sketch of a soldier who made this campaign. It shows an extraordinary variety of outfits! almost all wear hats either civilian or federal cap (Hardee Hat) as often on the western front.
Battlefield:
militiamen set up their tents outside the hospital .
typical Attire this campaign, pants, shirt and hat and coat federal civilian.
A sample of the militia of Kansas, it's like in the comics Blueberry "Terror on the Kansas"!
The weather is getting worse, the militia watching the rain fall at the same time as his moral dark .....
The fighting begins, it is very difficult to keep weapons capable of firing this humidity!
the evening was enlivened by patriotic songs "Lincoln and Liberty", "The Battle Cry of Freedom," "tramp tramp tramp," "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic "," Just Before The Battle Mother ".....
An extraordinary weekend, rainy but very nice. The theme of this camp will be resumed in June for aprofondi!
cordially

How To Fill My Boxing Bag
I have small back pain for 8 years and I want to share two discoveries that helps a lot!
My title speaks of back pain but these suggestions are not only reserved for those who have low back pain: o)
DVD Josée Lavigueur "The exercise ball." I'm really happy and it works really well in the region of the lower back (and other regions as well) ... I'm a little sore thighs the next day! : O) I think this DVD is super good to strengthen my back.

And here are my thoughts on a Wii game ... if you can call it a GAME ...
Not ... this is not a game, but physical training.
My fitness coach (very good price at Walmart). They also released a second game that I did not.

is a program with 450 different exercises. (Excercises in addition to each visit).
There are various decorations and music in addition if we are faithful in training ... encourages us to return to our training as we have planned.
Maya coach us through the program that is different each time.
There are exercises coming back so slowly you get used to the movements.
It starts with a real physical assessment (jumping jacks, push-ups, sit ups, etc.), getting goals & objectives. It will decide by evaluating what is good for our goal.
Each time you return to coaching, it suggests a different set: lower body, upper body, cardio ...
can do 15 min drive or more. I do 30 minutes and it's good for me!
Maya asks you a few times during training how we found the portion of practice. If we say that it was "easy", it will adapt to the next session so it's really custom!
She asked how I always feel at the start of training ... I'm afraid to say I'm in great shape because it may be hard on me! hee hee!
It also tells us how to do the movement.
There are some downsides, but nothing to deter and stop exercising:
- It will sometimes movements that are not good for the knees, but over the years, I learned what movements to change and move as much.
- It is repeated often during training when she encourages you or show you the moves. (This is still an "ordinary" and there are so many words they included in the game!)
- change exercises or stations (step / weights / land / standing) are a little faster, you have to hurry to get up to start the next financial year which is sometimes started, but there is often a rest period (5-6 sec.) between the years so I'm up for it by ending my movement ... it's not that bad.
a real workout ...
Motivation and perseverance are not included in the box!
Former ticket 2007: I mentioned two other videos that I liked (Susan Powter) and I also mentioned two other DVD Josée Lavigueur.
