Recent convert to excercise dies in elite cycling race
Posted: at 3:18 am
A La Mesa resident in his early 40s who recently rediscovered athletics died over the weekend in an elite cycling race when he crashed into a tree, according to authorities and family members.
Nicola Grossi was competing in Saturday's grueling Climb to Kaiser -- a 155-mile ride that ascends from nearly sea level to a 9,200-foot Sierra Nevada pass -- when he lost control of his bicycle on a curving descent.
Grossi, who was wearing a helmet, could not be revived and was pronounced dead at 10:42 a.m., said Jeff Gentry, a deputy coroner for Fresno County.
The 42-year-old computer software designer became a bicycling enthusiast over the past two years, losing more than 100 pounds as he biked to work daily and went on hours-long highway rides, mother-in-law Pat Fox said.
"He fell in love with it," Fox said. "We were all very proud."
Grossi lost control as he approached a curve on the steep, winding descent from Shaver Lake to Big Creek.
He is believed to be the second person to die in the Climb to Kaiser's 36-year history.
In 2003, a rider was struck and killed by a pickup on the steep descent into Big Creek.
Grossi was survived by a wife, daughter and three step-children, Fox said.

Yoga stretches limits of kindergarten
Posted: at 3:17 am
PORT BURWELL - The young yogis are breathing through their noses, their toes pointed the right way and their energy focused.
Their fingers extended and their knees bent, they move into warrior pose as their teacher looks on, modelling the common yoga posture.
Focus on your fingertips. Concentrate, says Ian Hibbert, who is leading the class of four- five- and six-year-olds through their daily yoga class.
Breathing through your . . . he continues.
Nose, the pupils shout as they complete the pose.
Hibberts junior and senior kindergarten class at Port Burwell public school has been doing yoga for several months.
We started off learning two new poses a day and we worked up to about a dozen, and now weve just been working with those same 12, Hibbert says.
We do it usually five to 10 minutes a day, once a day. Yoga for kids has skyrocketed in popularity, with several London studios also offering classes for kids as young as four.
Those who teach kids say it has physical as well as mental benefits, particularly for kids living in an increasingly hurried and plugged-in world. Yoga allows them to take time out of their days to breath, relax and focus.
Hibbert learned about the benefits of yoga for kids from other teachers and decided to give it a try with his class. He bought a DVD that showed him the basics and began teaching his pupils.

Paddle Board Yoga Popular Along Farmington River
Posted: at 3:17 am
On a recent summer evening on a calm stretch of the Farmington River in Canton, a group of 11 people came slowly and quietly downriver.
That people gathered on the east bank to watch was not surprising.
This was a floating yoga class.
Each member of the group was atop a paddleboard essentially a bigger, more stable surfboard moving from one yoga pose to another. If the board was the yoga mat, the river, the sky and all of nature were the yoga studio.
It was one of the first manifestations of paddleboarding and yoga in Connecticut, a fusion of the rapidly growing new paddle sport with the ancient practice of yoga.
Paddleboard yoga sessions began on the Farmington River in late June, a collaboration of Collinsville Canoe & Kayak, which rents and sells paddleboards, and the neighboring Yoga Center of Collinsville.
Paddleboarding in recent years has boomed nationwide, with board sales soaring. "We've tripled our sales from three years ago," said Jon Warner, who owns the canoe and kayak shop with his wife, Sue. The latest trend, seen now from California to Florida to Connecticut, combines paddleboarding and yoga. It is increasingly popular, with classes on the Farmington getting larger each week.
Dotty Craig of New Hartford already has participated in several paddleboard yoga sessions and finds them special.
"Yoga on a mat in a studio is a mind, body, spiritual connection," she said as the session ended. "When you get out on the water, something surreal happens, and it is just that much more fantastic."
Paddleboard and yoga sessions on the Farmington are led by certified yoga teachers and open to anyone, even those who have never been on a paddleboard or practiced yoga. They are held on the section of river behind the canoe and kayak shop.
Mark Herras on “selos factor” in relationship with Ynna Asistio: “Siguro sa 100 percent, siguro mga 20 percent na lang …

Mark Herras on "selos factor" in relationship with Ynna Asistio: Siguro sa 100 percent, siguro mga 20 percent na lang. Hindi na ganun kalaki yung selos.
Pagkatapos ng Hiram na Puso, ang afternoon soap ng GMA-7 na magtatapos na ngayong linggo, wala pang nakalinyang proyekto para kay Mark Herras.
Kaya naman daw balik workout muna ang young actor para mapanatili ang magandang hubog ng katawan niya.
Siguro excercise lang, tapos gym. Hindi naman yung magpalaki ng katawanyung magpa-slim o magpaganda lang ng katawan.
Ayoko na kasi pumayat. Kung anu-ano ang naiisyu sa akin na hindi naman toto! tawa ni Mark nang makausap siya ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal).
Yun yung mga plans ko this month and the following month after Hiram Na Puso, habang naghihintay pa ako ng proyekto.
Tapos balik basketball, kasi hilig ko ring mag-basketball.
And a lot of workshops.
Of course, every Sunday pa rin naman akong mapapanood sa Party Pilipinas at guestings sa ibat ibang shows ng GMA-7.

Tapos balik basketball, kasi hilig ko ring mag-basketball. And a lot of workshops.
Of course, every Sunday pa rin naman akong mapapanood sa Party Pilipinas at guestings sa ibat ibang shows ng GMA-7.
Alam ko naman na hindi ako pababayaan ng GMA-7 at bibigyan nila ako ulit ng magandang proyekto katulad ng Hiram Na Puso."
Kung bigyan siya ng pagkakataong pumili ng susunod niyang proyekto, ano ang gusto niya?
Given a chance? Ano ba... gusto ko kung puwede sa TV yung ginampanan ni Aga Muhlach na pelikula noon. Hindi ko na maalala kung ano yung title, parang psycho killer siya nagiging mabait at nagiging salbahe, parang ganon.

Pre-drought vegetables sell briskly at market
Posted: at 3:16 pm
RICHMOND
The Madison County Farmers Market in Richmond opened at 8 a.m. Saturday, and a little more than two hours latter, all of the green beans had been sold.
One customer regretted his tardiness when he asked Devin Powell of Powell Farm in Waco if he had any green beans.
I wanted some fresh beans and tomatoes, the customers said. Im sick of that hydroponic stuff.
Powell was able to satisfy the customers craving for fresh tomatoes, however.
By the time the green beans were gone, the heat was starting to turn oppressive, even if it hadnt reached the triple digits thermometers would record Saturday afternoon.
Without rain, the high temperatures will decimate crops, said farmers who worked in the shade of their canopies. Some said they had begun irrigating their fields but said they could not afford to continue for long.
Only a few thin ears of corn, which usually comes in best in July, could be found for sale at the market by mid-morning Saturday. The weather holds the fate of the corn crops.
We dont raise corn on our (Isbell-Smith) farm, said Paula Jones, the outdoor markets coordinator. But, if we dont get some rain soon, there may not be much corn or anything else.
Some farmers in the Baldwin Community, where she lives, have already started putting out bales of hay for their cattle, Jones said.
Former North softball star enjoying life in the coaching ranks
Posted: at 9:17 am
Staff Photo: John Bohn Christie Thompson, a Gwinnett North graduate and current North softball coach, runs a softball camp held at North Gwinnett High School. The camp is hosted by former Gwinnett softball players now playing in college.
Christie Thompson knows as well as anyone, and better than most, how important it is to pick a college for more than a coach or a name.
Thompson was well advised when she was a standout at North Gwinnett. Her instructors at The Pitcher's Mound, where she had been training since she was 13, did everything they could to help her get a handle on what was most important when picking a college.
"I had plenty of visits everywhere," Thompson said. "I was told exactly what I needed to do. I sent letters to colleges. I went on several different visits to figure out exactly what I wanted. And I got everything I needed out of it. I had a great college experience. I ended up exactly where I needed, and where I wanted, to be.
"I loved it -- even when we didn't do that well. It was such a good time."
It wasn't about a coach. Hers changed after one season. Or about being at a big-time SEC school. Columbus State turned out to be just the right place for Thompson.
"I was told that several times -- it's about what works for you," Thompson said. "It's not about you going to a Georgia. That helped me a lot. I didn't want that and I was not pushed to do that just because it looked good. I appreciated that because a lot of instructors might have been like, 'Go out there and make me look good.'"
Now it's Thompson offering the advice.
She's been a full time instructor at The Pitcher's Mound in Duluth for the last two years.
Going to Columbus State, where she started at second base for four years, and going through a coaching change is something she draws from when talking to her students.
