Could someone please provide me with a good workout routine. My goals are to gain a little bit of muscle and to get lean. Please tell me what you've had success with and what other programs didn't work so well. Some of the things I'm curious about are # of reps, # of sets, frequency, should I concentrate on compound movements, how much cardio??? Thanks to anyone that can help me out. Mike

My personal suggestion is to go look at
Read the info' and, if it makes sense to you, give it a try for two months. Assess your results and decide whether to continue. It worked really well for me and for every client I had who wanted to try it. It sounds too good to be true, but in my particular case I found the results to be just what Dr. McGuff said to expect, i.e. improvement in every exercise, every workout for almost a year. At that point I went to a maintenance system as I am as strong as I feel a need to be. Fair winds and happy bytes, Dave Flory

If your goal is to improve body composition (deacrease fat mass while maintaining or increasing muscle mass), then I reccommend a weight training program that focuses on inducing metabolic fatigue rather than overcoming a large resistance. You want to raise lactate levels as much as possible in order to stimulate a large post-exercise elavation of metabolism. Basically, this involves keeping your repetitions high (8-12 reps/set) and your rest periods between sets short (varies depending on workout format). There are several ways to do this; the simplest being to perform one exercise at a time in an interval-like fashion alternating periods of work and rest. Another (harder) way is a method called supersetting, in which you move directly from one exercise to the next with no rest in between. I reccommend using 3-5 compound exercises performed back-to-back with 60-90 seconds recovery between circuits. Chose at least one exercise each for pushing, pulling, and lower body extension movements. Example: 1) parallel squat 2) pushup or bench press 3) pullup or pulldown 4) deadlift 1:20 rest REPEAT Use a weight slightly heavier than you can handle for the whole unit of work, so that you reach failure on the last set. To make it more intense, you can add an additional set to failure at the end. For example: four sets is a good place to start, so if you were doing four sets you would either a) use a weight that allowed you to complete the first three, becoming progressively more fatigured until you failed on the fourth; or b) use a weight that allowed you to complete the first two, fail and on the third, and then add a fourth set to failure. Increase the number of sets/circuits as your fitness improves. While type of program will increase strength and muscle mass in a relative beginner, it's not true strength training because the loading is relatively low. Remember that the goal is to induce fatigue rather than cause large amounts of muscle damange that will take a long time to recover from. It will still cause moderate levels of damage, but you should be able to repeat this workout every other day or so with sufficient recovery. The drawback to this type of training is that it genrerally has a short shelf life (4-8 weeks) before your body adapts. So, if you want to lose fat with this type of training, you definitely need to have your diet in order from the time you start or you will miss out on the window of opportunity. As for cardio: if your goal is simply improved body composition, then you don't have to do any. In fact, adding cardio may interfere with recovery from the weight training and thus compromise results. If you want to burn more calories, consider simply adding a 3-4 mile walk every day or on non-weight training days as that is not stressful enough to compromise recovery.

Or, if you want a program that combines weight training with moderate amounts of cardio, check out the Body for Life program (www.bodyforlife.com). Not a true fitness program in my opinion, as it mainly focuses on body composition, but people do get results with it.........

Thanks for the info guys. Brian, do you follow the zone diet? If not, what type of diet plan do you follow? Mike

I follow the Zone diet loosely, adhering to the basic principals and using the "eyeball" method to balance meals. However, I don't count "blocks" and I sometimes eat small amounts of low-glycemic carbs (i.e. pieces of fruit) by themselves for snacks.

Tina Fey
The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actress, writer and comedian is best known as a result of her years as head writer on NBC's SNL, and, more recently, her impersonations of 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on the weekend staple series.
Born in Upper Darby, Penn., in 1970, Fey was a "supernerd" who studied drama in college. She later moved to Chicago where she spent many years performing with The Second City's famous comedy troupe. Hired as a writer for SNL in 1997, Fey was promoted to the top position and became the first female to earn the title.
The multi-hyphenate also wrote and produced films including Mean Girls and Baby Mama, and writes and appears on 30 Rock, a series she created loosely based on her SNL experiences. For her efforts, Fey has earned both an Emmy and Golden Globe award.
She is married with two daughters, Alice and Penelope.

Location: Catfish Genetics Research
Technical Abstract: The contamination of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products with Listeria monocytogenes is a major concern for the food industry. For a better understanding of the adaptation and survival ability of L. monocytogenes grown on turkey deli meat, the transcriptome of L. monocytogenes strain F2365 was determined using a microarray. Microarray data were validated using a quantitative real time RT-PCR assay. Based on the microarray data, 39 and 45 genes from L. monocytogenes were transcriptionally up-regulated and down-regulated, respectively. The genes regulated at the transcriptional level were mainly involved in energy metabolism, fatty acid and phospholipid metabolism, biosynthesis of proteins, transport and binding proteins, DNA metabolism, cellular processes, and regulatory functions. There was no significant change on the expression of genes encoding for known virulence factors such as sigB, prfA, inlA, inlB, plcA, plcB, and hly. This study suggests that L. monocytogenes grown on RTE deli meat changes its transcription involved in its metabolic pathways to obtain an energy source or an ability to adapt to environmental change without increasing the expression levels of virulence factors. The global transcriptome profiles provide a better understanding of the growth or adaptation of L. monocytogenes in RTE meat products.

By Peter H. Green
Invited to a costume party this Halloween, I donned a flowing robe, white wig and beard, put on my best Irish brogue and appeared as my great uncle Peter Howard, (1878-1969). This resulted in a flurry of family e-mails and reminded me what a well known character he was, and still is to this day, even forty years after his death.
In August of 1963, before returning to my final year of graduate school—in a last fling of summer and a final procrastination of my architectural thesis project—I bought a circle ticket for an extended bus tour, with stops to visit friends in El Paso, Tucson and Carlsbad Caverns, ultimately reaching Los Angeles. There I met up with Bonnie, a friend of my sister's, who kindly acted as my chauffeur, guide and companion on my Southern California tours. She showed me the Riverside Inn—an historic hotel with its many picturesque architectural features added over the past century—the La Brea tar pits and the L. A. Zoo, among other marvels. On one sunny August day I decided to look up my great Uncle Peter Howard, my namesake and one of my grandmother's twin brothers. Their other brother Jerry had long been deceased, but Peter, having chosen a nomadic, outdoor existence, had apparently benefited from a healthier life style.
A family legend, Peter had migrated from Chicago to California to seek, if not fortune, a bit of fame, and to enjoy the state's noted tolerance of unconventional people. Characteristically, he was featured in the November 21, 1938 issue of Life magazine in an article entitled, "Cuckooland: Screwy California May be the Future Athens of America." There in stark black and white, on a page headlined, "California's Deep Desire for Population Filled the Land with Odd & Eccentric Folk," stands Great Uncle Peter. He is shown bestriding a hillside pasture, braced by a rugged walking stick in his left hand and a trusty greyhound at his right, clad only in a dark, monkish robe and hiking boots, his white mane and beard flowing in the wind, looking mystically skyward, beyond earthly concerns. The caption reads, "Peter the Hermit, formerly Peter Howard of Chicago, is one of the many hermits who live in wooden shacks in the hills around Hollywood. Peter likes to be close to nature. His only companions are a burro, a herd of goats and a dozen greyhounds." I had briefed Bonnie on our eccentric family, and her eager anticipation matched mine, as we entered the city of Hollywood and began to look for Peter's house.
As we approached his neighborhood from Hollywood & Vine, our driving directions took us under a great viaduct carrying the Hollywood Freeway. Finding the street on the other side and searching for the address, we located his one-story bungalow in a row of such dwellings. He had lived in this general location for years, starting out in the grassy foothills of the higher mountain that now bears the famous sign, which had once read HOLLYWOODLAND. Peter lived on the commercial fringe of this area, in a bungalow just beyond the 101 Highway overpass, which had been developed into a few rows of higher density rental units.
We found Peter at home. Since I had written him about our forthcoming visit, we were not totally unexpected. He was delighted to see us and welcomed us into his modest bungalow. His strong Irish features—a long face, pronounced cheekbones, and a shaggy white beard, firm, taut skin a healthy pink, surrounded by a mane of flowing white hair that fell to his shoulders—made a striking impression. As his deep blue eyes studied us, so strong was the family resemblance that I felt I was looking at the ghost of my grandmother, gone for over ten years. This vision in white was completed by a neat long-sleeved shirt and white duck pants.l The room was bare, white and very much in keeping with the exterior of the stucco cottage, Mediterranean in its stark simplicity.
Inviting us to sit on his simple wooden chairs at a square wooden table, he asked a few questions about my relation to his sister Mary. I watched Peter stare at Bonnie, an attractive college art student, slender, with a well proportioned figure, in a simple sundress short enough to reveal a considerable length of her slim, tanned legs. Apparently, his advanced age hadn't dimmed his vision, nor diminished his ardor. He offered us grapes, apples, pears, bananas and nuts. "People bring me these things. I always have plenty of food. I believe in nature's bounty. The actors and actresses all come to me for advice: Jane Russell, Lana Turner, Marilyn Monroe. They come to me to learn of the higher spiritual world and to be healed.
"I'm a great spiritualist, sir," he continued. "I wear white all the time. White is purity, the color of spiritual energy and divine inspiration. Let me see your aura." Gazing intensely at Bonnie, he examined her face and her head closely. "Ah, blue! That's spiritual. You have the ability to communicate with the spirit world, far beyond this wicked city. Hollywood: I call it Follywood. Nothing but sin, sex and seduction!" he declared, slapping Bonnie smartly with his left hand on her right thigh, the reflex causing her to jump in her chair. "Am I not right, dear?"
She managed a timid "Why, yes."
"I can barely hear you," Peter responded in a husky Irish brogue.
"Yes, Peter!" She replied, firmly this time. Bonnie learned fast. Anxious to divert his attention and spare my companion, I asked, "What is spiritualism?"
Peter's eyes took on a faraway look as he began describing how all life is one "intelligence", and man's progress from the worldly concerns of body in physical being to higher levels, becoming aware in the process of a parallel world of pure spirit. My head spun with visions of spirit mediums, who could communicate with higher worlds, speak with the departed and glimpse the realm where all beings are part of one Great Spirit and all souls are at peace. I had heard of Theosophy and later learned that his encampment was near the utopian Krotona colony, whose adherents he must have encountered in those hills. I wondered how on a calm summer day we had been drawn in into the maelstrom, by this boisterous, energetic self-proclaimed prophet. No longer Bonnie and Grandnephew Peter, we had been transformed in Peter's mind into his unseen but palpable audience in a darkened cinema.
As his rant continued he recounted his film credits. He had appeared in most of the biblical epics of the day—The Robe, The Ten Commandments, Spartacus and all the rest—although as an extra, a most authentic one. I mused that the directors must hardly have needed to send him to make-up and costumes; he would have appeared on the film lot each morning ready for work, able with a toss of his head to step immediately into his character at the time of Christ.
How easily I could now comprehend Peter's attraction for Hollywood's great and small, from diva to aspiring starlet, and his ability to entangle them in his mystical web. "I'm a great spiritualist, sir," he again intoned. "The stars all come to me for advice and counsel, Joan Crawford, Lana…" As he spoke, I imagined Peter sitting across this humble table from the sultry Lana Turner, evoking her lost loves, communing with the spirits of her dear departed and earning her eternal gratitude and devotion.
"The movie stars have lost their faith," he complained. "That's why they come to me." At this reflection his voice rose in measure with his ire and his brogue thickened as he spat out his words. "The Cat'lic Church is a fraud. High mass for high money, low mass for low money and no mass for no money!" he roared.
He paced around his tiny living-dining-kitchen space like sailor on a heaving deck, bracing himself as he turned with his stout, bare legs. "I'm 85, ye know," he boasted. "But I'm fit. I walk miles every day—I used to tend goats in those hills with my greyhounds. You can see that I'm strong, can't you my darlin'?" he said, squeezing Bonnie's upper arm firmly with his hand.
"Yes, Peter," Bonnie affirmed, wincing.
He pounded his chest with his fist, producing a solid thud. "I am still hearty, as you can see." Testing his voice with a few notes, he then broke into a chantey: "I sail the ocean blue…" he sang in a husky baritone. His rhythmic movements became a dance. He swayed, bobbed and spun on one heel. Bonnie, fully moved by the spirit, her cheeks glowing and her dark eyes shining, cried, "Yes, Peter, yes!"
I looked on enviously at this ancient mariner's power over the young girl. Her reactions to my efforts to attract her over the past few days paled by comparison. As he finished the song, he stopped thoughtfully and turned toward the kitchen counter. "As you see, I have plenty—take some. He reached for a bowl of fruit and loaded three oranges, a grapefruit, a bunch of grapes and a banana into a brown paper bag and thrust them at me. The interview was over. Sheepishly presenting the sack, I protested the gift. "No, take it!" he insisted. "My friends will bring me more. They give me everything: fruit, vegetables, food, money . . ."
At the second mention of money, while I held his heavy bag of groceries I became noticeably embarrassed. On the one hand 1 realized that Peter might have little income and may have needed cash for household necessities; on the other, I knew I had been conned, but it was too late to object. "Could I offer you something?" I asked weakly.
"Oh, anything will do," he replied, a little too fast.
At last, the collection plate, I thought. Still a student and a tightwad by nature, perhaps with some of Peter's own genes, I perfunctorily stuck a hand in my pocket and offered up a crumpled dollar bill and a handful of change, which Peter gratefully accepted.
The Mass had ended: it was time to go in peace with thanks and praise. We took our leave with promises from me to bring news of our visit to the rest of the clan and headed for the freeway.
While our visit to my great uncle Peter was not the joyous family reunion I'd anticipated, I took some pride in being related to such a human phenomenon. It was a performance that has become part of our family lore, told and retold up to the present day. And we saw it all for less than the price of a first-run downtown movie.

Klimke Basic Training Vol. 2 DVD. The Five Yr Old Horse
Vendor Number: ZDV450
In the Klimke Basic Training Vol 2: The Five Yr Old Horse DVD by Ingrid Klimke, the Olympic champion shares her key ideas for the successful training methods including dressage exercises to improve suppleness and collection; pole work (cavalletti); lower level jumping obstacles; and basic training for cross-country. The Klimke Basic Training Vol 2: The Five Yr Old Horse DVD focuses on the following:
Ingrid Klimke is an Olympic and world champion who follows in the tracks of her famous father, the dressage legend, Dr. Reiner Klimke. She is the only professional rider in the world who rides successfully at the international level in both dressage and eventing. She trains by her father's famous motto: "Riding should improve the beauty and strength of the horse." With this in mind, Klimke trains her horses to be as versatile as possible. She believes that forcing young horses to specialize too soon can prevent them from developing to the best of their ability. Using a multi-disciplinary (cross-training) approach, she enhances their skills and compensates for their weaknesses. Under Ingrid Klimke's tutelage, your young horse will learn with enjoyment and enthusiasm. The training of horses should be fun, allowing both horse and rider to shine. Run time: 90 mins. |

Bananas are one of the world's most popular fruits. Runners love them for their potassium, mother's love them for their tendency to plug up a child stricken with diarrhea. So do they keep you on the go, or keep you from going?
Well, both!
It depends on what stage of ripening you eat the banana in which determines how the banana will behave in your body.
When a banana is picked for the grocery store, it is picked and shipped green (unripe). In this stage the banana is comprised of a type of resistant starch for which the human body lacks the enzyme to break down. This banana (#1-6) will plug you up. Plus it has that awful "dry" texture that makes you want to spit it out.
Isn't it interesting to know that the word "starch" is derived from Middle English sterchen, meaning to stiffen. Um, hello. Stiff bowels are NOT good.
After a banana ripens it turns yellow and starts to show brown spots: speckles & smudges (#7). The resistant starch has turned to sugar which is now fuel ready & waiting for your body.
By the way, corn does the same thing. Unripe corn will bind you up, ripe corn will provide immediate fuel. Unfortunately it's not as obvious when corn is ripe as when bananas are ripe. A bit of quick research about corn tells that waiting until the corn tassels are brown & dry and if the kernel, when pricked, exudes a bit of "milk" then the corn is ripe.
Bananas are awesome! They are available year around. One medium size ripe banana has 89 calories and is comprised of 93% carbohydrate, 4% protein and 3% fat.
Make sure all your future bananas feature some brown spots. Don't wait until they are mushy. Now you know why I eat upwards of 6 bananas a day: once they are the perfect ripeness, they need to be consumed ASAP before spoiling.
Organic bananas are about 30 cents more per pound than conventional. Bananas are not on the Dirty Dozen list because you don't eat the peel. I buy organic when they are available, but I don't hesitate to buy conventional when organic is sold out.
Be & stay well, Carla-gone-bananas!

RENTON – Go big or stay home.
Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll continued his no risk/no reward philosophy Tuesday, announcing this year's third-round pick, rookie quarterback Russell Wilson, will start against Kansas City in the Seahawks' third exhibition game Friday.
Free-agent signee Matt Flynn played steady as the starter in the first two exhibitions for Seattle. But Wilson performed with an impressive command of the offense while playing the second halves of the first two games. And Wilson's penchant for making big plays against second and third-unit defenses earned him a shot with the starters.
Carroll said if Wilson continues to play well, he could earn the starting job for the season opener Sept. 9 at Arizona, in what appears to be a two-man race.
"I've just got to keep working," Wilson said. "There's a lot more to do, and I've just got to keep improving. That's my main goal every day I wake up."
Although incumbent Tarvaris Jackson has not played in the first two games and is reportedly being shopped around as potential trade bait, Carroll did not rule him out of the conversation as the team's potential starting quarterback.
"It's just exciting to watch this kid play," Carroll said about Wilson. "And everybody that's grown up watching him back at N.C. State and Wisconsin, we're seeing the same thing that you saw. He's carried the style of play from the college level to our level, at least in these first few preseason games.
"And we're going to see what that means in Game 3."
Wilson has a chance to be the fifth rookie quarterback to open this season as a starter, joining Andrew Luck in Indianapolis, Washington's Robert Griffin III, Cleveland's Brandon Weeden and Miami's Ryan Tannehill.
Of course, all those names mentioned besides Wilson were drafted in the first round.
If Carroll does name Wilson the starter, he would be the first, third-round pick in the NFL to start a season opener as a rookie since Joe Ferguson for Buffalo in 1973.
A closer look at Wilson's statistics over the first two games reveals why Carroll is rolling the dice.
Wilson has competed 22 of 33 passes for 279 yards, throwing three touchdowns and one interception.
Wilson has been sacked once, has an 8.5 yards per completion average and is third in the league with a 110.5 passer rating.
Wilson's also rushed eight times for 92 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown. He's been efficient on third down, converting 10 out of 16 for first downs.
And Wilson has created big plays, with seven plays of 20 yards or more while he's commanding the offense.
Flynn's longest play from scrimmage is a 14-yard completion to tight end Zach Miller against Tennessee. Flynn is 17-for-26 passing for 102 yards, no touchdowns and one interception.
He's been sacked three times, has a 3.9 yards per completion average and a 56.9 passer rating.
However, Carroll said he won't determine Wilson's role as a potential starter based on the Kansas City game alone. Carroll's watched Wilson's steady development in practice since the team's first rookie minicamp in May.
Carroll said that initially the coaching staff had planned on starting Flynn in the first game against Tennessee and Wilson against Denver in the second game, but that he wanted to see Flynn for a second time against the starting defense to make a better evaluation on the free-agent addition.
Traditionally, teams have played their starters at least three quarters in the third preseason game as a primer for the regular season.
However, Carroll said it's possible that Seattle uses the final preseason game to continue the quarterback evaluation.
Carroll would not provide a date on when he planned to name a starter for the regular season, saying it's possible that he does not make the decision until the week heading into the Arizona game.
"I know that there is a traditional thought, a conventional wisdom about game three and all of that," Carroll said. "And I understand that. And we need to always be in tune with conventional wisdom.
"However, neither John (general manager John Schneider) nor I feel like we need to operate under that kind of guidance system, so we're not. And we haven't been since we got here."
Carroll said that despite the fact his team has not settled on a starting quarterback, he still believes the process Seattle has taken is the right path.
"I'm real confident that we're doing the right thing," Carroll said. "I don't have any hesitation in this.
"And I understand that maybe not everybody else feels like that, and I really don't care. It doesn't matter to me"
Carroll said that receiver Doug Baldwin had surgery to fix a problem with his hamstring, but should be ready to practice next week.
However, Carroll said he's uncertain if the team's leading receiver from last year will play in the final exhibition game against Oakland.
Baldwin practiced last week, but was a late scratch for the Denver game, the second consecutive game he missed because of injury.
With Baldwin out, Deon Butler will continue to get first team reps at slot.
Carroll did not rule out receiver Sidney Rice playing in his first preseason game against the Chiefs.
Rice was full go Monday, and took a decent whack from safety Earl Thomas on a catch across the middle.
"I don't know that yet, but he had a great day today," Carroll said. "This was Sidney's first full-speed, all out, one-on-ones and everything today. It was the first time he had a full-go day where we really cut him loose and let him do everything.
"And he got banged around, which is great. He made some good catches today. He looked very fast out there. And it's exciting to see."
The Seahawks had 15 players watching practice Tuesday, including center Max Unger (calf), fullback Michael Robinson (toe), running back Marshawn Lynch (back), tight end Cameron Morrah (toe), offensive guard John Moffitt (elbow), linebacker Allen Bradford (hip), cornerback Ron Parker (knee), defensive end Jason Jones (knee), cornerback Coye Francies (head), defensive lineman Pep Levingston (knee), linebacker Matt McCoy (knee) and defensive back Roy Lewis (unspecified). Cornerback Walter Thurmond (leg) and offensive lineman James Carpenter (knee) remain on the physically unable to perform list. Undrafted rookie free agent defensive end Cordarro Law returned to the field after suffering a high-ankle sprain last week. Others who returned to practice include receiver Ben Obomanu (neck), linebacker Mike Morgan (head), tight end Miller (head) and linebacker Malcolm Smith (hamstring).

A number of iPhone users are reporting that iOS 5 appears to be draining the iPhone battery way faster than it should (dropping 12% every 30 minutes in some cases), and that the phone is hot to the touch. Indeed my wife and I have experienced extremely short battery life on our iPhone 4S on Sprint. I have also noticed that the iPhone 4S seems to run a little hot. One user suggested that resetting the network settings appears to have helped some (General > Reset > Reset Network Settings). Too bad that fix won't do anything to fix the poor quality of Sprint's network. ZING!
UPDATE #1 (10/29/11): One possible explanation for poor battery life in the iPhone 4S is a bug in a location-based setting that detects your time zone based on your location. The bug causes the iPhone 4S to continually poll cell phone towers to update your location and calculate your time zone. The bug "causes the Setting Time Zone function to keep the location tracking circuitry running constantly, draining battery power considerably." This would also explain why the iPhone 4S feels warmer than it should. It might be worth it to try disabling this setting temporarily, at least until an official fix is available from Apple.
UPDATE #2 (11/3/11): Apple formally acknowledged the iPhone 4S/iOS 5 battery issues and promised a fix within a couple of weeks.

CD/LP/Track Review
Frank Wess: The Frank Wess Quartet (1960)
Frank Wess, sterling saxophone star of the classic Fifties Count Basie Band, leads a relaxed date eponymous to his chosen band size on this recent Original Jazz Classics reissue. The Moodsville tag should give fairly solid indication of what's in store. Six standards and an original fill out the set list with an emphasis on balmy ballad tempos and laidback blowing. The rhythm section, headed by the eloquent and elegant Tommy Flanagan, an ideal foil for this sort of session, supplies Wess with sensitive support throughout. Fellow Basie employee Eddie Jones tactfully handles bass duties and Bobby Donaldson keeps things simmering on drums. Engineer Rudy Van Gelder crisply renders each of the players from his controls, though the NYC location listed on the tray card suggests a studio setting outside his usual Hackensack digs.
Wess divides his instrumental choices fairly evenly between his signature saxophone and lilting flute, with three tunes falling under the spell of his lush, Lester Young-tinged tenor and four serving as vehicles for his fluttery wind instrument. The tunes undertaken with the latter, especially the opening dreamlike "It's So Peaceful in the Country," tend toward a more cloying soporific sound with gilded piano chords, gentle pizzicato bass and swishing brushes coming off a bit pallid despite some gorgeous playing. The tracks employing Wess's tenor strike a better balance between tranquility and swing. "Rainy Afternoon," a Wess original and the longest tune at nearly eight and half minutes, floats in on the plush aerated back of the leader's velvety riffing horn. Donaldson's brushes pick up the pace and Jones tugs out a fat walking line as Flanagan comps in a sparse, but lyrical style. As the track rolls on and Wess's solo gains momentum he even engages in a string emphatic exclamations, a few sparks struck in an otherwise demulcent outing.
Other peaks in a program of relatively few valleys include a plush reading of "Stella By Starlight," again featuring Wess's verdant tenor, which spills out across the melody like a voluptuous woman stretching out on a bed of flocculent furs; and a soothing interpretation of Burke and Van Heusen's "But Beautiful" that builds from a polished solo preface by Flanagan into another spotlight for the leader's smooth-spoken flute. Overall, this album takes its Moodsville pedigree a bit too seriously with an even keel philosophy that at times comes at the expense of some heat and flavor. That caveat stated, fans of relaxed blowing dates will probably find the easy peregrinations of Wess and company more than amicable.
Visit Moodsville on the web.

Personnel: Frank Wess- flute, tenor saxophone; Tommy Flanagan- piano; Eddie Jones- bass; Bobby Donaldson- drums. Recorded: May 9, 1960, NYC.

This club is for marketers and business owners who want to better understand how to use Facebook
This club has 4,481 members.
As I was cruising along today 'Liking' all of your lovely Facebook Pages obviously the result of thousands of hours of sweat I started noticing some of the new rules not being followed so thought I would ask your thoughts on this. The Top Cover Photo can have NO Call's To Action such as 'share with your friends' or 'Like Us' and no 'contact info' and no references to Facebook. BUT what if you are a small business and you don't know this, what will happen?. How does Fb expect everyone to just know what they decree?
@ellenpartal Hi Ellen
When Facebook upgraded people's pages there were links to more information about the changes and specificially this issue. People just don't bother to read this sort of information. Which is partly why Social Media "Experts" get paid so much money.
@russellallert That's what I keep telling my clients.
If you don't know this information, you have either been living under a rock or not bothered doing your due diligence.
Actually, most businesses fail because they don't invest in their brands properly.
@ellenpartal My guess is that they will send warnings or pull down cover photos of "offenders" and notify them. There are probably those "slipping through the cracks" right now but eventually I think the monitoring will be more stringent. I think many users are realizing the business pages they visit can't use calls to action and still "liking" if it is truly something they are interested in.On many pages I admin I have posted statuses occasionally to draw attention to the custom-developed tabs I made with apps to keep the visitors engaged. @andrea-vahl provided great guidance on the dos and don'ts of Facebook Timeline in the "Facebook Timeline for Business" webinar that SME hosted last week. I expect the Social Media Success Summit 2012 will have similar tips.
@ellenpartal @russellallert @cendrinemarrouat @alexandrabriggs I've noticed this kind of breaches many times around there. But since most of business owners who make these silly mistakes seem to be non-techy persons and hence do not know guidelines nor they prefer to visit help center and that's the reason. I think Facebook team at backend, being human being won't directly impose any ban knowing this fact but they would start issuing warnings or so.
I agree with @russellallert. Ignorance is no excuse. If a business fails to read all the terms and conditions of anything they get involved in, then maybe they should be using a consultant!
@ellenpartal you say no contact info is allowed but our own grandma mary has several contact buttons on her cover., connecting to her other web places..and i assume she is within the rules….
.. so where is the actual line about allowed contact?
im very safe on this and have nothing on my cover but photos…
Hi All
Here are the rules from Facebook. They are simple to follow and clear.
Thanks @alexandrabriggs for the shout out (ps. I thought you were on vacation!) Another place with an update on all the changes is http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/7-new-facebook-changes-impacting-businesses/
@ellenpartal I really don't think anything will happen to these small pages who aren't following the rules. Facebook can't police all these pages and what will probably happen is other people will "educate" the page owners by posting things on their wall telling them that they are violating the rules.
@annfurnivall Yes, Grandma Mary has pictures of the Twitter buttons on her cover but that isn't in violation. There is no call to action there other than she's on those sites (they aren't hotlinks, just pictures of the social icons)
@andrea-vahl I am on vacation but sometimes I can't help logging in and catching up on everything Connection isn't always working though so luckily you and Phil are watching the boards too
i figured grandma mary wouldnt be in violation….. hot links would be so nice … @andrea-vahl …
These cover photo rules seem extremely direct and easy to follow (even for a "non-techie" like me!). I agree that those who are not following them are either not bothering to read them or simply wanting to see how long they can get away with it!
So I CAN put things related to my business as long as there is no call to action or pricing info?
@annfurnivall I have photos of SM sites to but no linkes. So Grandma Mary is in the clear:)
@andrea-vahl I respectfully disagree to some extent. I think will give warnings for a while and then yank those out of compliance. I hope they do.
@kasondramorin yes here is a snippit of what @russellallert shared in his link. Cover images must be at least 399 pixels wide and may not contain:
To get the best quality image and fastest load times for your Page, upload an sRGB JPG file that's 851 pixels wide, 315 pixels tall and less than 100 kilobytes.
All cover images are public, which means anyone visiting your Page will be able to see the image you choose. Covers must not be false, deceptive or misleading, and must not infringe on third parties' intellectual property. You may not encourage or incentivize people to upload your cover image to their personal timelines.
Yes, I do hope they yank those out of non-compliance @ellenpartal but it hasn't happened that much with contests and many personal profiles that are set up with business names so far.
Sorry, @kasondramorin, I missed your follow up question, yes you can definitely have taglines, information about your business and what you do in the cover photo itself.
@andrea-vahl Point take, but a girl can hope can't she? I have really made it a point to share all the changes with my clients even though they don't get most of it. It confirms in their mind they need me and lets them know I am working with their best interests.
It's all very well saying "ignorance is no excuse", as several people have, but let's be perfectly clear about how hugely unhelpful Facebook can be in this regard. For example, "Get it now" or "Tell your friends" are clear calls to action. But what about "Save time and money"?It could be argued that using a phase like "Save time and money" is not a call to action. It doesn't tell someone what to do, or request any action from them, but it does tell them how they may benefit.If you find yourself in a grey area, what do you do? Facebook make it deliberately almost impossible for you to get clarification. I understand why – if they had to answer questions like this they would need to employ more people and they want to put the onus as much as possible on the user. Not only do they want to ensure that users don't overstep the line, they want to make sure that users are compelled not even to step near the line.Ignorance is no excuse is, IMO, a little unsympathetic given the fact that Facebook deliberately leave their guidance very vague, except within the narrow confines of the few desperately obvious examples that they provide.
Interpretation seems entirely at Facebook's discretion, and users have no option but to consider the potential breadth of that discretion. I find their high and mighty attitude immensely unhelpful. A company that has become a major global communications medium ought to behave like one.OK – rant over!
@robinjohnston @ellenpartal
I agree with Robin about how unhelpful Facebook can be when it comes to learning how to really use Facebook. I see a lot of bashing about Facebook on these forums but really in the end I say this all the time – Facebook is FREE!People whether personal or business related do not respect or value Free things as when they have to pay for them.
@Ellen & others stating that they hope Facebook yanks other pages for not following specific rules I find those statements distasteful and unprofessional in the social media business. There are a lot of people coming to these boards to learn more about this market that is still budding and 80% of my clients have no experience with internet resources.
@melissaholmes I meant no disrespect, I am sorry you misunderstood me. A lot of the online marketing managers I have run across do not report information to their clients (they think its a waste of time) and it creates mistrust and frustration which I find disrespectful. This is what I was referring to.I am not speaking of those who are unaware of the rules. How would you handle the Facebook pages that blatantly disregard the rules?
Hi,As Russel Alert said, the rules from Facebook are simple. Visit the link.
12. Apps on Facebook may not integrate, link to, promote, distribute, or redirect to any app on any other competing social platform.
Would someone please clarify this policy for me? This policy seems pretty broad. I've been unable to get clarification from facebook.
Does it mean that a page is forbidden to display any logos, i.e. Pinterest or G+, on Apps/Tabs since that could be interpreted as promoting?

A Huge Step Forward for People with Mental Illness
Historic agreement reached to transition Illinois residents unnecessarily housed in large, impersonal nursing homes
Last week was a good week for people with mental illness in Illinois. On Thursday, a federal judge granted preliminary approval for an historic agreement between the State of Illinois and thousands of people with psychiatric disabilities represented by a number of advocacy groups, including Access Living, and a private law firm - led, in this case, by the ACLU of Illinois - that will give thousands of people with mental illness an opportunity, if they choose, to move out of large, private nursing homes and into community-based settings.
This agreement marks a sea change in Illinois state policy - which for far too long has relied on troubled, sometimes dangerous nursing homes to serve people with mental illness.

A little history.....
This cigar was made for a 2007 release in limited quantities of 850 boxes of each size ranging from Guerrero (robusto), Emperadores (belicoso) and Gladiadores (churchill). The filler and binder is Criollo 98 and Corojo 99 with a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper (aged 3 years) which at this point, has over 5 years of age after being rolled.
2007 El Centurion Guerrero (Don Pepin Garcia)
Size: 5.5 x 52
Drink: Water
Smoke Time: 1hr 30 min
Location: Tasty Tobacco Shop
Just glancing at the cigar you can tell the "El Centurion" has some rest/age under its belt. A beautiful cap with that feels very well rolled having a slight give in the squeeze test. The cigar is round yet the foot has the box pressed look which is unique in itself. To me, the label is very different from most Don Pepin Garcia signature blends. My expectations are fairly high for this beautifully made cigar.
Gently cutting the foot of the cigar with my trusty Xikar, I take a few prelight draws and they are simply smooth. Not airy and not tight but just a balanced draw. The burn was absolutely perfect throughout the entire experience never wavering with an ash that strong and firm never falling until I gently tapped it with almost 2 inches of ash. As usual the smoke came off in plumes, very picturesque if I might say.
I am detecting prelight notes of possibly cinnamon and cedar showing to me that the cigar hasn't lost any aroma from the wrapper. The initial puffs reminded me of citrus and wood but not too much of spice. However, fully moving into the 1st third brought a smooth leather flavor with some spicy undertones and a bit of cedar. This first half was a delight to smoke as the flavors balanced themselves out well.
The second third brought the same leathery note but I also noticed that this time it was buttery/creamy and finished with the beautiful spice. The "El Centurion" left a pleasant sweet taste on the tongue but I couldn't pinpoint the exact flavor. The final third continued with leather and a bit of earthiness but the spice has ramped up its presence. After enjoying the subtle notes throughout the cigar, I am looking forward to the spicy finish. The final third transitions well into full bodied cigar. With only half an inch left, I decide to lay the cigar down respectfully as one can be.
Final Thoughts:
The "El Centurion" aged with elegance in a way that I don't always get to experience. The brilliant profile with the perfect mix of flavors was ever so inviting. This cigar might possibly be smoking at its peak right now because none of the notes were overwhelming. Finding this cigar at this point might be really difficult but who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and see it in a older shop where traffic isn't at prominent. This cigar reminded me again why I choose to smoke cigars, a beautiful masterpiece.

Sex on TV: 4 Sex Scandal Songs Inspired by Justin Bieber
Remember that time when a random girl accused Justin Bieber of fathering her child after she took his virginity backstage at one of his concerts? I know, after what seemed like months, the story finally dropped off the news cycle and I forgot about it for a few minutes, too. But then Bieber went on ex-Housewife of New York Bethenny Frankel's new daytime talk show and dug it up again. Why now? Because the pop superstar just released a new album and one of his new songs, "Maria" (his accuser's name was Mariah) responds to the scandal through scathing, falsetto-sung lyrics. What begins with actual audio clips of news reports and interviews with the star during the height of the drama turns into a repetitive diddy that's going to have pre-teen girls across the world singing along to the lyrics, "That ain't my baby, that ain't my girl," incessantly. At least we'll get a breather from Call Me Maybe.
In keeping with my feelings—and what I assume was the majority of America's feelings—at the time the story initially broke, I still couldn't care less. But then I started thinking about a world where all celebrities embroiled in a sex scandal preached their innocence through the medium of song. Whether or not they were actually guilty won't matter when their track hits number one on iTunes and in the hearts of teens everywhere. Allow me to lead the charge with four sex scandals songs I think could make excellent chart-toppers:
1) Anthony Weiner: Instead of coming up with anything fresh and new (I mean he did put so little effort into his scandal in the first place; he couldn't even be bothered to leave his congressional office before he snapped the shots of his namesake), Weiner would just release The Lonely Island ft. Justin Timberlake song "Dick in a Box"—but instead, change the lyrics to "Dick in Your Inbox."
2) Paris Hilton: Everyone knows Paris Hilton is Bruce Springsteen's biggest fan. I'd look forward to the music video that would accompany her song "****ing In The Dark", complete with humans and Chihuahuas donning night vision goggles and a 2-minute interlude of silence while Paris checks herself out in the mirror. That's hot.
3) Arnold Schwarzenegger: The man fathered a child with his housekeeper. Coupled with his body building background, there is no possible way he wouldn't borrow a tune from Jock Jams. I'm thinking Technotronic "Pump Up The Jam." Something like, "She don't need, a place to stay, she'll be mopping up the floor tonight," and then subbing out the lyrics "Make my day" with "I'll be back." Too soon?
4) Hugh Grant: Back in 1995 Hugh Grant was arrested for soliciting sex from Divine Brown after they were caught as she was performing oral sex on him in his car. I'd imagine he would go back and forth, trying to choose the right lyrics to spin the dalliance into a PR opportunity, only to shrug his British shoulders in defeat, sigh "Oh, bollocks," and wind up recording a cover of Donna Summer's "She Works Hard For the Money."
Have any better songs for these scandals? Other scandals that should inspire songs of their own? Comments, please!

Click here to find your recorded consult.
As we discussed, inhalation with essential oils and a potent sea salt mixture should be helpful in reducing the infection.
To prepare the inhalation:
- Get a pot and boil about 10 cups of filtered water – don't use chlorinated water as it damages mucous membranes.
- Add ½ cup of sea salt
Remember that steam is hotter than boiling water so take caution when inhaling the essential oil mixture. Cover your head with a towel and breathe in deeply and slowly. Do this daily.
The essential oils I recommend to add to the sea salt and water mixture are a two drops each of:
- Clove essential oil
- Eucalyptus essential oil
- Tea Tree essential oil
- Oregano essential oil
- Rosemary essential oil
While you are taking antibiotics, you will need to take Saccharomyces boulardii in the AM and PM. Consider taking 1 capsule each AM and PM with food.
Once you are finished with the antibiotics, consider taking ProBiota 12 Powder. Take a half teaspoon at dinner time. This is the best time to take probiotics according to research.
ProBiota 12 Powder contains 12 strains of beneficial bacterial strains in very high doses, which is important to reestablish proper gut flora.
Call an EENT doctor to get a culture and sensitivity done on your sinus. It is not effective medicine to be guessing which substance will kill whatever bacteria or fungus you have in your sinus.
Once you find out what the culture and sensitivity is, get back to me and I will put a call into Key Pharmacy. This way you can call in a prescription for whatever mixture they recommend for a nasal spray. They can compound antibiotics, antifungals and nutrients into a nasal spray which directly targets the infection.
Should you have any questions, please do ask.
Do let me know how the inhalations go as well.
In health,
Dr Ben

The Society of Cool!
hi this is a strange one , ive recently lost 6 stone and ive promised myself if i lose another stone by christmas ill treat myself to a suit for my works do , but because ive always been too big to get one (ive always steered towards ben shermans, jeans and dessert boots) im not sure on shoes and shirts to go with one im hoping to go with a standard 3 button suit any advice gratefully received ade :-)
Try modclothin´; top quality and style at very reasonable prices. I´m very satisfied with mine. And I too am not exactly a skinny fellow.
Which suit do you have from them Kai?
Black with bright red lining, four buttons. Thinking about their Prince Of Wales one for christmas!
Loafers would be fine. Wouldn´t wear desert boots with a suit.
well traditionally loafers are casual wear and don't go with a suit - oxford or possibly a brogue.
on the other hand you can always do what you think suits you!
Put the dessi boots down, walk away and put your hands where we can see them Adrian.
HAHA! DCI Charlton of Style Police!
