Its really not that heavy
How To Lift
Here's How:
- Plan ahead before lifting.
Knowing what you're doing and where you're going will prevent you from making awkward movements while holding something heavy. Clear a path, and if lifting something with another person, make sure both of you agree on the plan. - Lift close to your body.
You will be a stronger, and more stable lifter if the object is held close to your body rather than at the end of your reach. Make sure you have a firm hold on the object you are lifting, and keep it balanced close to your body. - Feet shoulder width apart.
A solid base of support is important while lifting. Holding your feet too close together will be unstable, too far apart will hinder movement. Keep the feet about shoulder width apart and take short steps. - Bend your knees and keep your back straight.
Practice the lifting motion before you lift the object, and think about your motion before you lift. Focus on keeping you spine straight--raise and lower to the ground by bending your knees. - Tighten your stomach muscles.
Tightening your abdominal muscles will hold your back in a good lifting position and will help prevent excessive force on the spine. - Lift with your legs.
Your legs are many times stronger than your back muscles--let your strength work in your favor. Again, lower to the ground by bending your knees, not your back. Keeping your eyes focused upwards helps to keep your back straight. - If you're straining, get help.
If an object is too heavy, or awkward in shape, make sure you have someone around who can help you lift. - Wear a belt or back support.
If you are lifting in your job or often at home a back belt can help you maintain a better lifting posture. For ideas on inexpensive back supports that can help support the low back while lifting, click here.
Tips:
- Never bend your back to pick something up.
It's just not worth the damage that improper lifting technique can cause. - Hold the object close to your body.
You are a much more stable lifter if you're not reaching for an object. - Don't twist or bend.
Face in the direction you are walking. If you need to turn, stop, turn in small steps, and then continue walking. - Keep your eyes up.
Looking slightly upwards will help you maintain a better position of the spine. - References:

Back to our roots*
In 1870, in an attempt to further the formation of a Germanic state, Otto Von Bismarck changed a letter from Prussia to France. This was an incident known as The Ems Telegram. For years historians have assumed that only a few words and select phrases were altered. A recent find has now uncovered the true message, in its entirety, that was delivered from King Wilhelm I of Prussia to Napoleon III. The following message caused war between the two countries.
The message:
Boss, you gotta speak to somebody just to speak to me
listen dawg you can't eat with me
and listen i advise you don't really want to beef with me
please, oh you mad cuz im styling on you
you ain't have better gear, couldn't style on me

im tired of the youtube videos
It's not me, it's the meth talking!
The man, identified as 25-year-old Kevin Lewis Waits, of Hillsboro, was arrested for the incident.
A McLennan County Jail clerk who wanted to remain anonymous said that Waits remained in custody awaiting bail on charges of harassment and theft of service.
Officer Steve Anderson told the Waco Tribune-Herald, a newspaper there, that Waits was apparently frustrated that he couldn’t get a cab and kept calling the emergency number.
A dispatcher warned Waits that if he wanted a cab he should call a taxi service, not 911, which is for emergencies only.
An officer at the scene determined that Waits didn’t have enough money to pay the cab fare.
Anderson says that Waits was taken to a hospital after he told an officer that he had used meth.

Specific Quotes you'll probably hear at the 10 year reunion
"Jeremey lloyd is so pretentious and condescending. I can't believe he skipped out on the reunion to attend the Oscars/Tonys/Emmys"
"No, no, no. I told you it wasn't the meth, it was the 15 story fall after he jumped off the balcony because he thought that the dragon was going to get him."
"What? No, he couldn't make it. Bought some lemon off some scamer at Craigslist"
"One flight of steps!"
"I'm fucking sweatin', bitch"
"Bullshit! I heard JS got the coke and the money, but then, like, the entire Miami SWAT team just rushed in"
"yeah, but he still got away and was almost at the border when like forty mexican assasins totally surrounded him"
"Wait, was that before or after he saved the President?"
"after", "before"
"Wait! What happened to Anthimos' foot?"
"S/he got fucking huge"
"Bman - I'm fucking struggling"
"Fuck this, lets just go to five guys"
Things to bring up at HHS Class of 2008 10 year reunion
- Josh DisCristo anecdotes (repetitive, but funny)
- The irony of jon-o dying from that one hit.
- The 20 bucks JS still owes you even after he hit it big as a rapper
- McCaulleyisms
- The legendary DJ Stevey MIX and his legends
- That time Anthimos got his foot runover (I'll observe from the sidelines)
- Various memorable quotes: "Hey people" "you callin' me a liar" "Barn door back"...

Ralph's ambition is to one day become a politician.
A 13 year old from Texas who stole his Dad's credit card and ordered two hookers from an escort agency, has today been convicted of fraud and given a three year community order.
Ralph Hardy, a 13 year old from Newark, Texas confessed to ordering an extra credit card from his father's existing credit card company, and took his friends on a $30,000 spending spree, culminating in playing "Halo" on an Xbox with a couple of hookers in a Texas motel.
The credit card company involved said it was regular practice to send extra credit cards out as long as all security questions are answered.
The escort girls who were released without charge, told the arresting officers something was up when the kids said they would rather play Xbox than get down to business.
Police said they were alerted to the motel by a concerned delivery clerk, whom after delivering supplies of Dr Pepper, Fritos and Oreos had been asked by the kids where they could score some chicks and were willing to pay. They explained they had just made a big score at a "World of Warcraft" tournament and wanted to get some relaxation. On noting the boys age the delivery clerk informed the authorities.
When police arrived at the motel they found $3,000 in cash, numerous electronic gadgets, an Xbox video console with numerous games, and the two local escort girls.
Ralph had reportedly told police that his father wouldn't mind, as it was his birthday last week and he had forgot to get him a present. The father, a lawyer said he had been too busy, but would take him on a surprise trip to Disneyland instead.
Asked why he ordered two escorts, Ralph said he thought it was the thing to do when you win a "World of Warcraft" tournament. They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them.
The $1,000 a night girls sensing something up played "Halo" on the Xbox with the kids, instead of selling their sexual services.
Ralph's ambition is to one day become a politician.
