Managing Peak Crowds at Your Facility
Peak exercise times occur both seasonally and daily. How do you keep your members happy during these busy periods? Seasonally, the most crowded times are from January through March, when individuals are working on their New Year's resolutions to lose weight, and again from September through October, when children are going back to school and many mothers have time to start a workout program. On a daily basis, fitness facilities tend to be most crowded before the regular workday, during lunchtime and after work. For the success of your business, it's important that you pay particular attention to managing wait times and accommodating members during those times.
The first step to pleasing exercisers is to prevent the lines and crowds in the first place. Try these strategies to keep things flowing smoothly at your facility.
Post sign-up sheets. Create sign-up sheets for your most popular cardio machines, so members sign up for a certain time slot on a machine. This way, people know when they will have the opportunity to use the machine of their choice, and they can engage in other exercise activities while they wait.
Enforce time limits. During peak times, it is crucial to set time limits for machine use (typically 45-60 minutes max per person). When an exerciser's time is up, make sure that person gets off the machine so the next member can use it.
Ask people to register for classes. For maximum safety and to avoid overcrowding, limit the number of participants in a group exercise class. Ask members to register ahead of time for the class they'd like to attend. Let people know that walk-ins are welcome if a class is not full before it begins.
RedirectionEven with these prevention strategies in place, you may still have unhappy members who do not want to wait to use a piece of equipment or who become upset at not being able to participate in the class they're interested in. This is actually an excellent opportunity to introduce these members to machines, exercises and classes they're not familiar with. Redirect them to new cardio machines, show them new weight exercises or encourage them to try a group exercise class they haven't experienced. Most of the time, members will be happy to find new ways to increase and vary their fitness routine.
Off-Peak Memberships
Because of their work schedules and other time commitments, many people do not have the luxury to exercise during off-peak times. But for those with a more flexible schedule, a reduced-price off-peak membership could be enticing. An off-peak membership allows members to exercise only during nonpeak hours, such as late mornings and mid-afternoons. Two immediate results will occur when you offer off-peak memberships:
- New members will sign up to take advantage of the lower price.
- Some existing members will switch to the off-peak membership to take advantage of the lower price.
Having more members use your facility during off-peak times frees up space during peak hours. This unique marketing strategy can help reduce crowding and shorten wait times during peak hours, and ultimately it can increase revenue and memberships.
Get Creative
If none of these tactics is successful, then it's time to get creative. First, suggest that members share equipment. This is not realistic when it comes to cardio machines, but with most other equipment—such as dumbbells, weight machines, exercise balls and resistance bands—it is. Suggest that members pair up and take turns using these items over a number of sets. What if some members simply want to wait for a specific machine? Then rather than have them stand around feeling irritated, consider setting up a small area in your facility with a few computers where members can check their email or surf the Internet while they wait.
Nearly all fitness facilities experience crowds and lines during peak exercise times. How you choose to handle these inevitable wait times says a lot about your facility and its commitment to customer service.

10 good uses for snap view in Windows 8.1
Summary: The Windows 8.1 update brought big improvements for snap view, the ability to have multiple apps on screen at the same time. The possibilities are endless, and these 10 uses are a good jumping off point.
5 of 11Image
Watching video and doing other things
Those who like to watch online video while doing other things can leverage snap view to good effect. Simply start the video app, in this example Xbox Video, and drag another app into snap view.
The example shown above shows the Mail app on the left and Xbox Video on the right. This allows keeping an eye on incoming email while watching a video.
Tweetium and Internet Explorer
Those who use Twitter heavily will like this use of snap view. It works with the official Twitter app as well as Tweetium, the author's favorite client.
Keeping Twitter running in a narrow pane on the left and Internet Explorer on the right is my preferred method. With both apps running side-by-side, tapping a link in a tweet on the left opens the page in the browser on the right. No need to leave the Twitter client and reopen it later as both apps stay open through the process.
Evernote and Internet Explorer
I use Evernote for my writing work, and it's often accompanied by heavy web research. Snap view makes this a useful function by having both Evernote and Internet Explorer open at the same time.
This makes it easy to take notes while looking at the web source, including hyperlinks.

No writing on the solitary, meditative dimensions of life can say anything that has not already been said better by the wind in the pine trees.

There is then a deeper silence: the silence in which the Hearer is No-Hearer. That deeper silence must be heard before one can speak truly of solitude. — Thomas M … [Read more...]

Juno Awards of 1994
|Juno Awards of 1994
|20 March 1994
|O'Keefe Centre, Toronto, Ontario
|Roch Voisine
|Television/Radio coverage
The Juno Awards of 1994, representing Canadian music industry achievements of the previous year, were awarded on 20 March 1994 in Toronto at a ceremony in the O'Keefe Centre. Roch Voisine was the host for the ceremonies, which were taped that afternoon for broadcast that evening on CBC Television.
Nominations were announced 8 February 1994. Starting in 1994, the Best New Solo Artist combined the former Most Promising Male and Female Vocalist categories. Reggae also received its own category, after years of being included under banners such as "world beat" or mixed with calypso.
A new category for aboriginal music was also introduced and was awarded by Robbie Robertson. Nominee Sazacha Red Sky generated controversy over her recording of a prayer song her adopted brother Leonard George claimed was used by the family of Chief Dan George. Leonard objected to the song's recording by Red Sky aka Nancy Nash on the Peter Gzowski radio show.Red Sky is a former Vancouver resident who is many ancestries including First Nations. She is adopted into four First Nations families including Salish, Haida, Okanagan and Cherokee. Juno regulations for the aboriginal category required that the music, rather than the artists, be of native content or origin. Grand Chief Slaholt also brother to Dan George confirmed the song Red Sky recorded was not from his nation or a song of his brothers. This origin of this song is Tibetan and since 1995 was listed with Socan as Public Domain.
Around the time of the 1994 ceremonies, there were plans to host the 1995 ceremonies in Winnipeg. However, Juno organisers CARAS was demanding substantial funding from the Winnipeg committee attempting to host the awards.
Atlantic group The Rankin Family was the major winner in 1994, winning awards in four categories including Entertainer of the Year.

Grace Harlowe's Second Year at Overton College
Excerpt: ...myself for being so horrid? Won't you forgive me, Ruth? I never supposed it was anything like that. I was angry because you called me your best friend, but wouldn't trust me. I'm so sorry. I'll never speak of it again to you." Arline looked appealingly at Ruth, her blue eyes misty. "But I want you to think of it. I had made up my mind to tell you. Then you passed me on the campus without speaking, and somehow I didn't dare come near you after that." "I've been perfectly horrid, I know," admitted Arline contritely. "I've been so used to having my own way that I try to bend everyone I know to it." "I don't mind telling you girls about myself now. At first I was ashamed of my poverty," confessed Ruth. "After I went to Arline's beautiful home I hated to say anything about it to any one. Then Arline grew angry with me. I realized afterward that I had been foolish not to tell her my story. There isn't much to tell. I was picked up in a railroad wreck on a westbound train when I was four years old. I can just remember getting into the train with my mother. She was burned to death in the wreck, but by some miracle I was saved. I knew my name, Ruth Irving Denton, my age, and around my neck mother had tied a little packet containing some money, a letter and a gold watch. A woman who lived near where the wreck occurred took charge of me, and as no one came for me, in time I was sent to a home. I lived there until I was fourteen. The matron was good to us, and considering we were all homeless waifs we fared very well." "And the letter?" asked Grace. "It was from my father to my mother, giving all the directions for our journey west. With it had been enclosed a money order for four hundred dollars, which my mother had evidently cashed. I still have the letter. "Then a man and his wife took me. They were good to me and sent me to school. I studied hard and finished high school when I was seventeen. Then I won a scholarship of one hundred dollars a year. I was...

When One Indexing Box-End Isn't Enough
The idea of an indexing box-end — complete with GearWrench's well-known fine-toothed ratcheting system — makes a lot of sense. Believe me, there's nothing more frustrating than trying to get at a damn bolt or nut that's just a little bit off from any angle you can possibly reach with a straight wrench. (Pick yourself up a set of deep offsets, too.) But hey, GearWrench's double box-ends go to 11, man. Both ends index.
As you can see in the infographic above (courtesy of GearWrench, of course), you get 13 locking positions. This means that rather than simply flopping around like a some similar wrenches, you can lock this one in place, stick it down in the engine compartment, pull it back out and move it over a notch or two, and repeat until you can finally latch it on the buried fastener. GearWrench has been great about including this kind of indexing system on almost all their special-access tools, which simply rocks.
Other than their 13-year-old-gymnast-like flexibility, they're pretty much just standard box-end ratcheting wrenches. They're sold individually or in a single six-piece set with six size combinations: 8 and 10 mm, 11 and 12 mm, 13 and 14 mm, 15 and 16 mm, 17 and 18 mm, and 19 and 21 mm. Expect to pay around $80 for the set or around $30 apiece for open stock wrenches. And if you want to see them in person, it's a fair bet you can find them at your local Sears.

Brau says:
Add a couple more lockable pivots and you could make a "Starter Wrench"!
jesse says:
A couple of videos of these ratchets in action:
Both are made by Apex (Danaher). I don't know if the Matco set is made in USA, but the Craftsman is not.
jesse says:
A second look says the Matco IS made in USA. Nice.
jesse says:
Here's a Sears ad for their indexable ratcheting wrench sets, which they call 'elbow' wrenches: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdPQIZp4zXY.
They are the same tools as the GearWrench items.
johnnyp says:
Gear Wrench is owned by Danaher. They are a quality tool manufacturer much like Snap On. They don't make junk.Sears starting marketing this brand several years ago.
I have dealt with them on a professional level and they are still like what many American companies once were.
fred says:
For many years much of the Craftsman line of sockets and wrenches seem to have come out of Easco tools (as in K-D Danaher) made in the US.
The K-D Gearwrench tools all seem to originate in Asia (Taiwan or China for the Elbow wrenches)
With the formation of the Apex Tool group (a joint venture of Danaher and Cooper) their joint brands and position as an OEM for house brands is likely to grow
Bill from Maine says:
Metric only? eh. Never Mind.

Bernard Pierce is healthy
Baltimore Ravens RB Bernard Pierce was a healthy inactive in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Head coach John Harbaugh explained Sunday, Oct. 27, that he felt others gave the team a better chance to win. 'We're just doing what we try to do as far as our personnel and getting guys up that we felt gave us the best chance to win the game,' Harbaugh said. 'We were jammed up. We did what we thought we had to do, and it worked out because our other backs stayed healthy.'

Yonder Mountain String Band is set to play The Neptune on April 18, 2013 at 8:00pm. Tickets go on sale Friday, February 8, 2013, at 10 a.m. General admission seating. Price: $25.00 not including applicable fees.

Yonder Mountain String Band has always played music by its own set of rules. Bending bluegrass, rock and countless other influences that the band cites, Yonder has pioneered a sound of their own. With their traditional lineup of instruments, the band may look like a traditional bluegrass band at first glance but they've created their own music that transcends any genre. Dave Johnston points out "What could be more pure than making your own music." Yonder's sound cannot be Classified purely as "bluegrass" or "string music" but rather it's an original sound created from "looking at music from [their] own experiences and doing the best job possible." The band continues to play by their own rules on their new record The Show.
The Colorado-based foursome has crisscrossed the country over the past eleven years playing such varied settings as festivals, rock clubs, Red Rocks Amphitheater in the band's home state, and recently the Democratic National Convention in Denver at Mile High Stadium opening for Barack Obama. Their loyal fanbase has been built from this diverse setting of music venues as fans latched on to their genre-defying original sound.
STG's mission is to make diverse performing arts and education an integral part of our region's cultural identity while keeping three historic venues, The Paramount, Moore and Neptune, alive and vibrant. STG presents a range of performances from Broadway, off-Broadway, dance and jazz, to comedy, concerts of all genres, speakers and family shows - at these three iconic theatres in Seattle and venues throughout the Puget Sound region and in Portland, Oregon.
Based on Pollstar, the Concert Hotwire Magazine's 2011 Mid-Year Worldwide Ticket Sales, STG ranked #43 of the Top 100 promoters and The Paramount (ranked #12) and The Moore (ranked #44) were placed very well among the Top 100 Theatre Venues. STG is the 501 (c)(3) non-profit arts organization that operates the historic Paramount, Moore and Neptune Theatres in Seattle, Washington.

Standards and technology don't reduce energy consumption, despite the claims of efficiency zealots. Real energy savings only come through behavioral change.
Gridlock in 2030?
Policy priorities for managing T&D evolution.
support and a variety of technological and economic changes will alter both the demand for and supply of electricity in challenging ways. Technologies exist that can meet these challenges effectively, but only if a number of regulatory policies are changed, necessary research and development is performed, and important data are compiled and shared. If these steps aren't taken—and they seem far from inevitable—it might well be difficult to maintain both reliability and rates at acceptable levels.
An important challenge facing the electric power sector not discussed further in this article is the aging of its technical workforce, a problem made more serious by the decline in university power engineering programs. This problem is widely acknowledged; significant efforts are underway to deal with it; and we have no related recommendations to offer.
While we believe information technology has much to offer the grid, we avoid reliance on the term "smart grid" here and in our study's report both because it means different things to different people and because increasing the grid's intelligence is only one possible means to ends that include the reliable and economical provision of electricity. Moreover, while some smart grid technologies do make it possible for residential customers to be more active participants in electricity markets, few seem eager to devote more attention to a product that accounts for only a few percent of their monthly budgets. And, at the end of the day, we have seen no "killer electricity apps" on the horizon. If all goes well, turning on a lamp in 2030 will have the exact same effect it does today—and will require no more thought.
Grid-Scale Variable Resources
Current federal and state policies are tilting the playing field sharply in favor of renewable generation, and such support seems almost certain to continue. Thus wind and solar generation are almost certain to become more important by 2030—though perhaps not as important in many U.S. regions as they already are in some E.U. countries.
Two well-known features of these technologies pose potential problems for the electric grid. First, the output of wind and solar generators varies considerably over time and is imperfectly predictable. For this reason, they and some other technologies are labeled "variable energy resources," or VERs. At high levels of VER penetration, demand minus VER generation—that is, the net load that must be met by other generators—becomes noticeably more variable and difficult to predict. To maintain reliability despite this variability, the system and its operation must be modified at some cost. Few incentives exist today in organized markets for investments that add generation flexibility or for operating in a flexible manner, for instance, even though power system flexibility will become more important as the penetration of VERs increases. Full or virtual consolidation of small balancing areas would facilitate VER integration, as would requiring new VER generators to meet performance specifications appropriate for operation in the high-VER future they likely will encounter.
Second, many of the most promising sites for wind and solar generators are distant from major load centers. Exploiting these sites will require building relatively more

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Shepard is a wonderful environment where student's education and development are the main priorities. The students are taught the 7 habits and then encouraged to live by them. My son has a 504 and it is taken very seriously and the teachers have helped him to grow as not only a learner but a person. It really is a wonderful school.
I cannot say enough good things about Shepard. The staff is wonderful and makes it a point to know every student and their parents. The PTA is wonderful and very involved in making Shepard even better.
I moved to the Shepard Neighborhood several years ago and am so happy with the experience and education my daughters and son have had at Shepard. There is such school spirit and a sense of community with a very high level of parent involvement that pleases my wife and I very much. There is a much more relaxed and friendly atmosphere while maintaining high standards there I find than Mill Creek Elementary where we transferred from which I felt was overly competitive and a little less friendly.
Shepard was a wonderful learning environment for my children. Each had excellent teachers and great opportunities for personal growth and leadership-choir, Student Senate, and voluntary community service activities from grades 2-5. The teachers held high expectations for the students and helped them achieve success in a caring, nurturing environment. Manners and virtues were fostered by the teachers as well. The children learned by example. Shepards choir is continually growing. The end of year fine arts performance is always a highlight for parents, students, and staff. While parent involvement has decreased over the years, there are still parents that make the time to be involved in various ways. Shepard was a tremendous experience for my children and we will miss it as our final child heads into middle school.
I have 4 children who attend shepard and i do not know who the parent is that suggested shepard is 0 in safety because they are definitely mistaken. Safety is definitely a priority. I am appalled that someone would say that because i know. I work there! we have cameras, we have two radios during arrival/departure times, we do not bus children in. We live in a large rural community and we have a wonderful mix of ethnic backgrounds. We have an awesome pta and awesome teachers. Yes, we do have so many parent volunteers that the workroom can be standing room only. It's wonderful to have community/parent involvement. Yes, the map test is horrific thanks to no child left behind. But the map is in every mo public school and can not be avoided. Out of our 19 elementary schools, shepard is one of the best.
I love Shepard. I notice how courteous the children are, they hold doors open for you and say 'Please, thank you, and excuse me.' I have never had any problems, and the teachers are great!
Shepard is a wonderful school. They encourage parent envolvement and patriotism. We moved out of the school district and still kept our two daughters attending Shepard. The teachers challenge the students in all ways but also give rewarding praise. It is great to be a Shepard Stallion!
The teachers and staff are the strength of the school. The biggest negative has been over-emphasis on standardized testing and test results that have interfered with the climate of learning. Curiousity, special interests, and intellectual enrichment are being sacrificed in order to achieve intellectual conformity to the standards of the scorers of the MAP test. The discipline program -- with its green lines in the hallways and such also emphasizes a kind of uniformity and adherence to rules for rules sake that diminishes the spirit of the school. Parent involvement is so high that volunteers trip over each other trying to find something meaningful to do, and many of the activities have become characterized by competitive parenting, with hundreds of dollars being spent for decorations for half hour parties and book fairs looking like they were put together by professional event planners.
When I think of Shepard--the quality programs, teachers/administration, parent support, supportive community and high academic standards, I think WOW! Upon walking into Shepard, you notice the environment is nurturing and inviting. Examples of kid work is displayed proudly throughout the school and cozy reading nooks create inviting learning spaces, even in the hallways. Each teacher my child has had is well informed, articulate, with high standards and a supportive curriculum. My child is treated fairly and with respect. The basic virtues provide structure for all students. The teachers are award winning, caring and compassionate. Because of the level of excellence, my child knows she is a learner--now and in the future. What a wonderful foundation Shepard creates! I feel priviledged that my child learns at Shepard.
Shepard is a wonderful school. This school welcomes parents and the community. There are always parents in the building helping. My son is a Shepard graduate. Thanks to Shepard's caring environment, he is now an independent, successful middle school student. My daughter currently attends Shepard. She loves school. All of my children's teachers have always taken a great interest in their learning. I have always felt connected to the classroom. Teachers routinely send weekly newsletters, report progress in Friday folders, and make personal phone calls. I have always felt that the teachers at Shepard truly cared about all aspects of my children's growth. My children attend Shepard by special permission. There isn't another school in Columbia that I would want my children to attend.
All three of my children have attended Shepard School. I moved to this attendance area because of the fine reputation of the school and the teachers. I have been pleased with the high standards set by the entire faculty. The teachers are professions in every way. In fact, I feel very pleased that so many award winning teachers currently teach at Shepard. They go above and beyond standard practices to help each student be successful. The principal is approachable and an advocate for students, teachers AND parents. It is a three way partnership. Shepard has a warm family atmosphere and an exceptional student achievement rate. I would highly recommend that school for any parent who wants an outstanding start for their children.

I fell in love with this fabric last summer and guess what… it was in sale, 3 meters for the price of 1.
This is a bubble skirt with a hem band ( a bit tight when you sit ), simple halter top with a big bow. Fully lined with cotton. I got compliments when I wore it and I'm very proud of that dress.
