BBC workers lose £240k of tech gear in two years
The BBC lost laptops and mobiles worth a total of £241,019 in the past two years. A Freedom of Information request submitted by computer security outfit Absolute Software revealed the Beeb's losses this morning, reports the Press Association. Staff at the Corporation, BBC Worldwide and other Auntie subsidiaries reported that …
Corporation In Tosspot Self-Punt Attention-Seeking Stunt Horror Shocker!
Bigging Self Up By Bugging Beeb. "Not Loose Change Down Back Of Sofa" Says Cheapjack Publicity Spokesbot Dave Everitt About Loose Change Down Back Of Sofa.
"Not Riding On FOI For Self Gain" It Continued. "Not Us. No"
Picked Up By The Register For Some Reason.
Not loose change...
It's not loose change that's almost the salary of half a senior director.
That's an amazing figure.
How many employees does the Beeb actually have with laptops?
For a company to loose 150 laptops and not start calling in the cops we would be looking at hundreds of thousands of users.
I have worked in company's with numbers approaching that and 10 losses rings alarm bells.
Do the companies you've worked for have open doors to the public? No, thought not. And did you just pull that out of your rear? Thought so.
What a roaring knob you are
BBC has security you Plum. Like I could just rock up unannounced to the weather set and steal an on-air kiss from one of those weather-girls and pinch an unattended black-berry and laptop for my trouble on the way out.
You absolute fool.
Plama Screens
I used to work for the Beeb a few years ago. I was told a tale that some "workman" managed to walk out of TV Centre with a couple of new plasma screens. A little bravado can go a long way.
High losses?
You may think that losing 150 laptops in 2 years would be a lot for your company, but I expect that every one of your laptops spends most of its time either in a building with security guards on the door, or in a private home.
How many normal companies expect their laptop owners to grab them and rush off to some unexpected crime hot-spot in the middle of the night and then do a 10 minute talk to camera while the laptop is sat in the car the other side of the police cordon where you will return in a few minutes to write a quick update for the news website? How many of your laptops are currently being used by people in war zones? How often do your laptop or phone users spend an 18 hour day filming in a disused warehouse while the equipment remains in the car or a caravan the other side of the site surrounded by 120 extras with nothing to do until they are needed to film the riot scene?
The BBC is not a normal IT company and I am not hugely surprised by the number of items lost or stolen - I would actually have guessed that it would be higher.
"BBC has security you Plum. Like I could just rock up unannounced to the weather set and steal an on-air kiss from one of those weather-girls and pinch an unattended black-berry and laptop for my trouble on the way out."
They do have security in TV Centre, and they still let hundreds of members of the public in on a regular basis to be audience members, interviewees or even just to service the coffee machine. They have separate security at the entrance to the weather centre too, but that is not where all the "weather-girls" are, you will often find some of the highly qualified weather forecasters stood on a beach or in the middle of some National Trust property doing a forecast (and no, I don't understand why either). At these times, guess where the presenter's laptop and phone are.
Perhaps the more significant story here is that the people at Absolute Software (strapline from their website "Absolute Software specialises in software and services that provide an easy way to manage and secure computers."!), think it is acceptable to use FoI requests to try a sell their tat.
I'm reasonably sure the folks at the BBC have better things to spend their time and money on than some free advertising for them.
It makes their assertion that "In this case, however, this technology is paid for by the licence payer and employees should be far more careful about how they handle it." seem rather hypocritical to me.
Get used to it...
... FoI isn't a tool for Jo Public, it's a tool for the amrketing gits out there to waste my time by first making me gather the details in the alotted response time and send them back and then have to put up with their markleting calls and emails for the next few months.
Suffice to say any sales call that probably came from an FoI is now ignored and I refuse to do business with them.
My employers have a simple policy on this: you lose it, you pay for it
draconian, certainly, but it's brought the loss rates right down
Not a chance
I have a simple response to that: "no." If you want me to have a BlackBerry or laptop with which to do my work then you must take the risk, take out insurance or don't give them to me in the first place.
Yeah right...
Big companies and corporations don't have insurance for this kind of thing, it would cost the retirement fund of a Labour minister.
Most big organizations have a cash deposit that covers losses.
I think the figures [quoted] are a complete manipulation by some marketing folk, but it makes hand-wringing fodder for the kind of people that feel $ky TV is great value for money and we should all just "scrap the telly tax".
Expensive laptops
Each of those laptops was worth ~£1600?
Expensive blackberries
"17 BlackBerry handsets" at "£9,106" is £536 :S
How are we to have any idea whether this is a big number or not. How many laptops do other large organisations lose or have stolen each year? How many stolen or lost laptops is this per member of staff? Without that information too this could be summarised as "adding lots of numbers together makes a bigger number"
cost per laptop seems a tad high
So, the BBC equips its staff with laptops that cost £1500?
@ Stuart 2
not such a biggie, that cost proably includes licences aswell. hell an x200 is about 1.3k not including licences for AV, office, enterprise win 7 etc. plus docking stations, extra power leads, laptop bags!
Re cost per laptop seems a tad high
Well as mere gadgets average over £1200 each, why should we be surprised?
Pretty much breaking wind costs £1500 pounds, when you're dealing with Seimens. The BBC is trapped in an exclusive outsourced technology deal, and Seimens screw them for ludicrous amounts for the tiniest service. The irony is, it's just the sort of stupid scheme that the Tories love, in the name of "efficiency".
Anon, because.
Misuse of FOI
I agree with Billy Whiz - the FOI is not there to be a marketing tool. Absolute Software hits my list of companies who I would not touch with a bargepole.
It would also be more interesting to see the level of theft/loss expressed as a percentage of kit owned/used by the BBC (including all the various subsidaries).
Besides, is it really the case that the BBC, and therefore the licence payer, would be footing the bill? Surely the BBC has insurance?
the TV licence fee?
Hope they don't raise it because the staff cant keep company property with them after head off to the pub.
@Dave 142
I used to manage the infrastructure and comms for a multi national manufacturing business. This meant I was responsible for mobile handsets and laptops amongst other things.
Now we weren't the biggest company in the world (revenue was circa £50m) but we had hundreds of mobiles and at least 200 laptops in circulation.
In 4 years we lost 1 laptop that an idiot checked in as hold baggage on a flight, and we never 'lost' a mobile handset. Sure half a dozen got 'broken' beyond repair but none ever went missing.
Given the size of the BBC...
Given the size of the BBC, I was expecting a much higher number.
"software vendor makes mountain from molehill to try to sell tat"?
This is day light robbery!
And it's the worst kind of theft...the kind that affects me...
£219,000 cost of the 146 laptops = £1500 each
What the HELL were the BBC doing spending that much of our money on each laptop in the first place? Were they used for graphic design? gaming? or were they used for checking e-mail, porn and the occasional increase to the license fee like I suspect. Isn't anyone paying attention to what these people are actually buying compared to what they need?
£800 gets you a top spec laptop that will do pretty much anything bar playing the latest games...and even then, it'll probably do a reasonable job of that!
Not all cost is hardware
Yeah you have the box, but then there's service monkeys to build to the corporate spec, licensing for various software packages the corporation uses etc..
If the Beeb outsource IT like the company I used to work for a laptop build (standard, no fancy extras) would be billed out at a days work, 8 hours at £40/h giving £320 of your laptop cost already - if they don't have such a competitive contract then that price could easily double.
All that's before you start paying for peripherals and factor in purchasing time, these things don't order themselves.
The £1600 refers to the contract that Siemens Business Systems have in place with Aunty to run, fix, provide some of the software, network infrastructure including VPN and whatever else they do over 3 years.
It's a bit like if you loose your nice new Judas Phone to some hoodie on the tube in White City, tough luck son, you still have to pay for the contract.
Some say that the negotiated deal with Siemens was a really bad deal for The BBC, I think we can all draw our own conclusions.
Blame the outsourcing. Most of them are standard Dell or similar units. But of course because its all outsourced now to the Germans, the laptop will be sold or leased into the BBC at an inflated price. If it's leased then you can bet there will be hefty penalties for laptops that go walkies. Either way, the Siemens execs get a new helicopter.
Not unreasonable number
Given a fleet of several thousand laptops, many of them in locations that have a higher risk factor than the UK. The surprising thing is that fewer mobiles than laptops were reported lost, when I would expect to see a higher number (more of them and easier to misplace).
Best I ever managed was a phone through a washing machine...
But a phone fits in your pocket and that's probably where it spends most of its time, no?
What? How much?
You can be pretty sure that the company conducting this research wouldn't offer their services to an organisation of the complexity of the BBC for much under half a million. So by not using them, they are saving us nearly £250,000 a year.
You can bet most of those £1500 laptops were shiny aluminium, fruit flavoured ones. Those luvvies have to express their individuality you know.
Whatever they were, I do hope they're not including the cost of licences. I would hope they have site wide licences for most of their software, so the net software cost of one machine going out backdoor and another being purchased would be zero.
Forgive the dumb question,...
but wouldn't a simple dial-home daemon on the OS (or even in the BIOS) help track down a large proportion of stolen laptops once they got connected to the net? (Dragons Den opportunity for someone there)
Don't corporates act defensively on recovering lost kit? (We had an Op here who was nicking laptops and selling them on ebay - it wasn't until we put a camera in the store-room that we picked up on it. He got away with at least 12 in the end).
You are forgiven...
...but such technology already exists. Its called Computrace and was bought and is now sold by a company called umm... Absolute Software.
The last time I looked at it, you have to pay an annual subscription for the service, and IIRC it was the cost equivalent of loosing 1 laptop in 20 every year. As we only "lost" 1 in about 800 laptops, it wasn't cost effective. Far more cost effective to buy encryption software per machine (one off cost) and take the hit.
As for the BBC, 73 laptops per year, with an estate probably in the tens of thousands, doesn't seem too bad. Say 10000 laptops - that's < 1% that goes walkabout. These stats seem to assume 'stolen', but its just as easy for them to be mis-audited, kept in a drawer undeclaired for emergencies by line managers or not checked in by employee's who are 'off' the BBC grid for months or years at a time.
That's less than 0.007% of the Beeb's budget
Last year's budget for the beeb was £3.5bn. There are about 25 million license fee payers.
£22k works out at less than 1p per license payer (not per viewer), per year.
So yes, this is fiddling small change. And for an organisation of about 20k+ staff (including all the Worldwide operations), only losing a hundred or so bits of kit, globally, isn't actually that bad. Not ideal, but not too bad. It's about the same as a 150 person company having one loss per year, which is about on par with my experience (especially when you include phones)
I'd also be interested to know how much of this gear was lost by foreign correspondents, operating in some of the more 'interesting' parts of the world, rather than just being left on a train in London.
Theft upon theft
You assume that the licence fee is justifiable. It's not. By it's very existence thefts of this magnitude can be excused away as being a fraction of the budget etc.
The BBC only exists in its current form because of the guaranteed income from the licence fee. They don't have to make any decent programmes or compete in the market place like the other "for profit" firms.
Abolish the licence fee and let the BBC compete on a level playing field. Then we'll see if their grossly overpaid senior staff are worth it. Then we'll see if their sending hundreds of staff to the Olympics, World Cup or Glastonbury contribute to the profitability of the company. Then we'll see if the scandalous abuse and waste of resources that is currently tolerated because it is only a fraction of the budget has an effect on their bottom line.
You cannot justify theft of laptops on the basis that it's just a fraction of a bigger theft.
Great idea!
Oh, yes please, let's have the BBC on a level playing field and producing the same quality of programmes ITV does! Constantly interrupted by adverts! Yay!
Everyone here is an expert (oooh we have 200 laptops)
I'm sure everyone here have been in war zones, high risk areas (such as Somalia), ultra high risk crime areas?
As for the prices, anyone looked how much a rugged laptop is? You can easily blow £1500 on a basic model, oh then theres the 3g dongle attached, maybe the added ISDN card, oo how about the satellite comms link?
I agree, percentage lost and location would be more useful.
people should be more careful shocker
Most people could do with being a bit more careful with other people's stuff (like their's employer's laptops), but that is not going to happen soon.
Aside from the abuse of FOI request, it should also be clarified what a BBC subsidiary is, for instance isn't BBC worldwide a commercial entity and so may pay towards some or all of it's staff kit?
I am just guessing here, but as much as i want to bash the BBC, i doubt with all the information on numbers and percentages and which companies / divisions of the BBC, these losses would be that much different from comparable organisations.
e.g. Did David attenburger loose a laptop from his crew into a monkey's backside somewhere in Guana? would that happen in a bank in the city?
I wonder
how much of this ended up on eBay?
Why that expensive? and why lost?
Folks, this is the BBC. Their reporters are regularly out in warzones and other places round the arse-end of the world (such as Birmingham or Wales. ;) So let's get real, shall we?
Why so much for a laptop? Well, a laptop which can survive being dropped whilst diving for cover from a sniper, or put up with driving rain whilst reporting in some industrial-desert Welsh valley, is worth paying extra for. If the BBC were equipping their front-line reporters with anything *less* than a Toughbook (or equivalent), I'd be seriously disappointed. Contrary to Mickey above, £800 does *NOT* get you a top-spec laptop when the "spec" is survivability - ruggedised laptops generally run £1K as the lowest-spec starting price. Since the BBC probably need laptops which can also do a bit of video editting and run real-time broadcast-quality video link compression/decompression and encryption/decryption, £1.5K per laptop is not half bad.
Of course, if they're actually only getting netbooks for that price then it *would* be a sourcing snafu. But the article doesn't say.
And why lost? For front-line reporters, there's bullets, bombs, shrapnel, falling masonry and other assorted high-speed flying debris. Locals robbing you at gunpoint is also a hazard of the job. Anywhere round the world, there's also corrupt officials stealing stuff, or you may need to leg it out of town one step ahead of whoever doesn't want stories about them hitting the news. Or simply parking somewhere in Britain and having some scrote put a brick through your side window while you're getting a bacon sarny.
BBC Just say No
Lost them, or sold them for Coke?
A title
A drink of Coke isn't expensive, I'm sure the BBC could get a bulk discount from the supplier. You were referring to the dark-brown drink, right?
Surely not ...
Absolutely, completely and utterly wrong.
Everyone knows that the Columbian marching powder budget is subsidised by making documentaries about the horror of drug abuse on sink estates; whilst Tarquil and Tabitha are in the editing suite shoving next weeks wages up their nose .....
Motorola, back in the early 90s....
I worked for Motorola in Swindon, we had a grand total of all the laptops left in the building stolen one night. The thieves went round the office and broke open every cabinet where there was a desk with a docking station.
Funnily, after that security stopped bothering asking everyone to show their laptop on the way in/out of the building. I think they lost interest in the security process after someone taking about 100 out "under their jumper" during a time when there were very few people going in/out.
I wonder how much of this "loss" is real. I suspect a lot of dead ones that are out of guarantee just get marked as lost in the system before meeting the bin. Probably a lot less paperwork involved in getting a replacement!
How is this even a story?
I would imagine that for a large international company this level of loss is fairly common. A couple of people in the (relatively small) office I work in have had their work laptops pinched when their homes were burgled and another was mugged while away on business had his taken. That's 3 in the same period out of an office of a couple of dozen. Am not sure how many employees the Beeb has I suspect that if they got anything like a similar percentage they would have lost a lot more than is reported here.
The only real story here is if the BBC does not insure it's kit. If it doesn't then why the hell not??
Why not?
Because it would:
a) cost an arm and a leg; and/or
b) come with a whopping great excess (>> cost of a phone or laptop).
First rule of insurance - never insure against any loss that you can afford to cover yourself.
Re Insurance:
You'll find most large business don't insure for theft of items under a few grand, The costs wouldn't justify it. Just like a Dixons policy, where your super 5 year extended warranty costs more than buying the laptop 2nd hand six months later.
HOW Many warzones ?
The idea that most of the laptops can be written of to the UDA or the Taliban seems a little absurd. For every flack jacketed journalist there are probably 2 dozen glorified junior/middle managers with any combinantion of the words "strategic", "analyst","business", "financial", and "resources" in their job title.
A much more likely equation is :
Large number of people made redundant in the last 12 months = reasonable number of laptops "lost" in the last few weeks of employment...
Loss rate
Last time I researched this, the loss rate for an average corporation was at least 2% per year, for laptops. Some corps report up to 7% per year. So the BBC figures look pretty good to me. Having your laptop "stolen" is easier than justifying a hardware upgrade.
£1500 - inc or ex s/w
Technically, I would argue that this value should be hardware only, unless the numpty who lost their gear was carrying the installation media / only backup of licenses around with them in their carrycase.
A quick dabble with Fdisk (ah, those were the days...) and as far as anyone's concerned, the laptop has no software on it. And providing the beeb weren't purchasing OEM licenses, they're within their rights to transfer those licenses on to replacement hardware surely?
And for what it's worth, I did work somewhere with plenty of IT kit laid out and we were careful not to have it nicked - working for a small business don't half help you think about the costs of business... stick that on your national curriculum and smoke it...
Paris, cos I'd love to steal her laptop for a peep...

Alameda. CA 94502-7070
Telephone: 510-337-5700
Our Reference: 3001032796
July 30, 2003
Henry T. Ichinose, Co-owner
Christopher C. Kondo, Co-owner
ABS Seafood Company
1600 Evans Street
San Francisco, California 94124
Dear Mssrs. Ichinose and Kondo:
On May 9 and 12, 2003, we inspected your seafood processing facility, located at 1600 Evans Street, San Francisco, CA. We found that you have serious deviations from the Seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) Regulations, Title 21,
Code of Federal Regulations, Part 123 (21 CFR 123). In accordance with 21 CFR 123.6(g), failure of a processor to have and implement a HACCP plan that complies with this section or otherwise operate in accordance with the requirements of this part, renders the fishery products adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. 0 342(a)(4). Accordingly the following products are adulterated, in that the products have been prepared, packed, or
held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have been contaminated with filth or rendered injurious to health:
- Tuna Small (Katsuo/Aku)
- Tuna (Large), Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo-Ono, Sardines and Escolar
- Yellowtail, Amberjack (Hamachi)
- Mackerel, Atka Mackerel, Chub Mackerel, Jack Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel
You may find the Act and the Seafood HACCP Regulations through links in FDAs home page at www.fda.gov.
The deviations were as follows:
1. You must conduct a hazard analysis to determine whether there are food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur and you must have a written HACCP plan to control any food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(a) and (c)( 1). However, your firms HACCP plan for Yellowtail does not list the food safety hazard of Clostridium botulinurn toxin at the Receiving Critical Control Point to cover this product when it is received vacuum-packaged. FDA recommends that you ascertain and document that a time/temperature indicator is present in a vacuum-packaged refrigerated raw seafood product, that the time/temperature threshold has not been exceeded and that there is an adequate amount of coolant present at the time of receipt.
2. You must conduct a hazard analysis to determine whether there are food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur and have a HACCP plan that, at a minimum, lists the critical control points, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(a) and (c)(2). A critical control point (CCP) is defined in 21 CFR 123.3(b) as a point, step, or procedure in a food process at which control can be applied and a food safety hazard can as a result be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to acceptable levels. Yourhazard analysis indicates that since the product will be held at 40°F there is no need for a CCP at the finished product cooling/storage step. However, because holding the product at 40°F or less will prevent, eliminate, .or reduce the hazards of histamine and pathogen growth to an acceptable level, finished product cooling/storage is by definitions CCP. Accordingly, your firms HACCP plans for small tuna, large tuna, Yellowtail, and mackerel need a CCP at the finished product cooling/storage step for controlling the food safety hazards of histamine and pathogen growth.
3. You must have a HACCP plan that, at a minimum, lists the critical limits that must be met, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(c)(3). A critical limit is defined in 21 CFR 123.3(c) as the maximum or minimum value to which a physical, biological, or chemical parameter must be controlled at a critical control point to prevent, eliminate, or reduce to an acceptable level the occurrence of the identified food safety hazard. However, your firms HACCP plans for the small tuna, large tuna, Yellowtail, and mackerel products:
- do not list a critical limit at the Receiving CCP that is adequate to control histamine formation and pathogen growth. Your monitoring records indicate that your firm is routinely checking the adequacy of the cooling media upon receipt. FDA recommends you change your HACCP plans critical limits to reflect the critical limit and monitoring procedure. FDA considers monitoring the adequacy of the cooling media upon receipt an appropriate control.
- lists a critical limit of 40 degrees Fahrenheit internal temperature at the Raw Material Storage Critical Control Point that is not adequate to control parasites. FDA recommends freezing for the control of parasites of fish that are to be consumed raw. Please see the Fish & Fisheries Products Hazards & Controls Guidance, Chapter 5, for guidance.
4. You must have a HACCP plan that, at a minimum, lists monitoring procedures for each critical control point, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(c)(4). However, your firms HACCP plans for small tuna and mackerel products list a monitoring frequency at the Raw Material Storage CCP of beginning of operations, end of operations and your HACCP lans for large tuna and Yellowtail products list
beginning of operations, [redacted] into operations and end of operations as the monitoring frequencies. These monitoring frequencies are inadequate to control the food safety hazards of histamine formation and pathogen growth in your histamine-forming and ready-to-eat products. FDA has determmcd that continuous monitoring of the temperature by means of a temperature data
recorder or alarm system, with a visual check at least once per day is adequate to control the hazads of histamine formation and pathogen growth.
5. You must maintain sanitation control records that, at a minimum, document monitoring and corrections, to comply with 21 CFR 123.11(c). However, your firm did not maintain sanitation monitoring records for condition and cleanliness of food contact surfaces, prevention of cross-contamination, maintenance of hand washing, hand sanitizing, and toilet facilities, and exclusion of pests from the facility required for the processing of small tuna, large tuna, Yellowtail, and mackerel products on May 7, 8, and 9, 2003.
6. You must adequately monitor sanitation conditions and practices during processing, to comply with 21 CFR 123.11(b). However, your firm did not monitor two sanitation areas with sufficient frequency to ensure control as evidenced by:
Prevention of cross contamination: Your firm placed a cardboard container from an unsanitary pallet on the filleting table and then cut a tuna loin on the same table without sanitizing the table.
Exclusion of Pests: After a fly walked on the filleting table, your firm placed a tuna loin on the same spot without sanitizing the table.
At the conclusion of the inspection, the deviations were listed on Form FDA 483 and discussed with you. A copy of this form is enclosed for your ready reference. This list is not meant to be an all-inclusive list of violations. You are responsible for ensuring that
your processing facility operates in compliance with the Act, the seafood HACCP regulations, and the Good Manufacturing Practice regulations (21 CFR 110).
We may take further action if you do not promptly correct these violations. For instance, we may take further action to seize your products and/or enjoin your firm from operating. Please respond in writing within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of this letter. Your response should outline the specific things you are doing to correct these deviations. You should include in your response documentation or other useful information that would assist us in evaluating your corrections. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond, we expect that you will explain the reason for your delay, and state when you will correct any remaining deviations.
Please send your reply to: Ms. Harumi Kishida, Compliance Officer, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 1431 Harbor Bay Parkway, Alameda CA 94502-7070. If you have any questions regarding any issue in this letter, please contact Ms. Kishida at (510) 337-6824.

text: Slouching Towards Idiocracy by Ace Of Spades 6 Aug 2013 View Discussion Share This: In response to 10 Secrets to Seduce a Politician? Et tu, Jane Pratt?: That's truly terrible. It's terrible personally because most of us had some kind of early hero. I don't know who mine would be. I guess this would be like finding out that Jovial Bob Stein was a warden at Bergen-Belsen. But beyond the personal -- leftists like to portray the world as divided between the moralistic and dumb, on one hand, and the sexually liberated and intelligent on the other. Usually this leftist paradigm is merely crude and wrong, but oftentimes it is the precise opposite of the truth. I defy anyone to look upon the article you linked, by Ms. Sydney Leathers, and come away with any other impression that this isn't merely trashy, nasty, low, and crude, but it is also very dumb, very unintelligent, very uneducated, very unenlightened. I don't mean to say she writes in gibberish. But our culture is increasingly dominated by a celebration of the cheap, base, and vulgar, taking Idiocracy not as a frighteningly plausible warning but rather as a fun model to emulate. When even a teen girl's magazine is celebrating "'batin'" -- instructing teen girls how to masturbate for older married men -- then our society is now championing an essentially animal-level existence. Not just in terms of morality -- the bien pensants will always scoff at such a bourgeois construction -- but also in terms of intellect. Something the bien pensants once pretended to be interested in championing. This is lower than moral nihilism -- at least nihilism requires some kind of conscious, intellectual determination at the outset. This is simply a kind of willful devolution, the human animal deciding to give up the higher functions of its brain and go back to pack-feeding and rutting. Thinking and standards are difficult and boring. But Dumb is Easy and Easy is Holy. It's become a kneejerk response to praise the awful, to binge on guilty pleasures, to feed upon little but the rankest crap. Isn't this fun? Isn't this terribly naughty? Isn't this thrilling to the spirit, mind, and senses? It's none of those things. I stand second to no man in appreciation of the erotic or comically transgressive but that's not what we're seeing here. And I'm a bit of a scholar and fan of the vulgar. But this is simply the crudest form of reality tv television, now spreading to print like genital crabs. It occurred to me, long ago, that the transgressive is only interesting and naughty and daring if there is actually a line capable of being crossed; it is only having a gress to trans in the first place that gives the step a sense of danger and makes viewers, readers, or participants feel a frisson of "getting away with something naughty." It's funny if someone accidentally drops an f-bomb on TV and gets bleeped. Why? It's forbidden. It's not funny to see Bill Maher say the f-word with desperate regularity on HBO. Why not? Well, in addition to the fact that he's basically a 1950s Borscht Belt comic with jokes as stale as Atomic Age Twinkies but armed with the Edgy, Somewhat Ethnic Attitude every Fresh Young Comic had in the 1970s, it's not forbidden to say the f-word on HBO. We know he's allowed to say it. We know, in fact, he could say it 100 times if he liked. And, if his jokes are bombing badly enough, he just might. So what now, when there are no lines to cross anymore? When there is no boundary across which it may be unsafe to step? When there are no dark and silent woods at all for Red Riding Hood to venture into, but only a carnival landscape of garish neon lights and the unending carnival-barking come-ons of brothel wranglers? What must one do, then, to appear transgressive or just tastefully beyond the bounds of the conventional and proper? Where does sexy go then? Dirty just isn't dirty when there's no such thing as clean. And where does intelligence go then? Who can speak intelligently in a loud enough voice to carry over the hoots of apes and the growling of pigs? We, as a culture, seem to spend more and more time sitting on couches and gawking at a never-ending parade of circus freaks, enjoying the spectacle of poor creatures we're essentially paying to degrade themselves for our pleasure, just so we can feel, perhaps, slightly better about ourselves for a moment or two. Perhaps at some point we'll begin to ask who the circus freaks in this strange relationship really are. After all -- some of the participants are being paid to participate in the grotesqueries, and the rest of us paying for that honor out of our own accounts, whether with money, or, more importantly, with the most precious coin of all, our time. So who, in the end, are really the unfortunates here?

Thanks to Mrs. Tech_Guy, I've been roped in to helping a family friend set up an online business despite my pleas of ignorance :( - to be honest I'd rather spend my spare time either unconscious from too much JD or asleep...
Does anyone have any recommendations? They have a domain already and a hosting company, so it's just a case of finding something they can stick their advertising copy on, product photographs, and be easily updateable. Payment is the snag though. I can set up a website easily for them but integrating secure online payments is the main issue.
I've looked at some solutions online but was wondering what others have done?
Many thanks.

Scallops & bad reaction
When I was a very young kid scallops were one of my favorite foods. Then I got severely sick from them on two occasions and concluded I was allergic and stopped eating them. My dad also thought he was allergic to scallops.
Then I read somewhere that one can get really sick from undercooked scallops. Wondering if that was the real issue (because I can eat any other type of shellfish), I purchased one scallop, cooked it well done, ate it and was fine! Then last weekend I got a pu pu platter with scallops and was able to eat them without problem, too. So I plan to continue eating them, barring any problems.
Just wondering if anyone has any insight on this? I guess I'm wondering if maybe I'm unusually sensitive to lightly cooked scallops, which would mean avoiding them when eating out.
It certainly is possible. Another possibility is that the scallops were bad. They tend to go bad very quickly and can wreak havoc on your digestive system.
If your bad reaction was of a gastrointestinal nature then I agree with Raytamsgv that the source was that the scallops were past their prime and you got a bacterial or viral infection. Many years ago, I had the same experience -- both my mother and I got ill after having had a home-cooked meal of scallops, which we concluded had gone bad. It's never happened to me before or since. (Undercooking the scallops might contribute to the problem as they don't cook thoroughly enough to kill the bugs. But, as a practical matter, scallops get tough if you cook them more than a few minutes, so I doubt that even thoroughly cooking scallops would suffice to kill such bacteria, unless you overcooked them.)
I've eaten our local scallops raw on plenty of occasions and never got sick. I mean, you only cook them for a minute or two anyway, so it would be hard to "undercook" them. But as far as sensitivity, just go to your ENT and get tested, then you'll know for sure. But allergies can come and go, maybe yours was just temporary.
You can also get a reaction from something that the shellfish were feeding on. This happens to a lot of people with shrimp. Something in the water that the shellfish were feeding on was the ultimate cause, but unfortunately you really can't find that out without consuming the shellfish.
I had the exact same problem. As a kid I loved them then in my early twenties I had a horrible reaction. I went back gradually in my 40s and haven't had a problem in years. Who knows why, I just figured I grew out of it.
I have eaten and enjoyed raw, boat (bay and sea) scallops. While it is possible, you do have a mild allergy to scallops, it should also be evident in eating other shellfish as well.
It may be much more likely that you are experiencing an allergy to Sodium triphosphate.
"One of the only things that you would find in a scallop that you wouldn't find in other shellfish is the chemical Sodium Tripolyphosphate. STP is used fairly often to swell the scallop with water weight before selling. It also has some preservative qualities. It's mostly found in frozen and lower priced scallops. STP can be an allergen to folks with phospate sensitivity."
My wife is a New Orleans native, and grew up with oysters, every way that one can imagine. She loved scallops with many preps.While mussels were not common elements in her diet, clams showed up often.
At a point, she began to have issues. Being a nurse, and a dietitian, by training, she began to research, and also explore what was making her sick. She narrowed thing down to bi-valves, i.e. oysters, scallops, mussels and clams. Each took its toll on her.
Now, though also in the mollusk family, she seems to have zero problems with abalone and limpets - single shelled. A taste so scallop will not bring her to her knees, but a whole scallop can do that. Same for oysters, mussels and clams.
Now, we know what to tell the chef - no bi-valves.
That has worked for the last 30 years, but at least we know.
re: Bill Hunt
What your wife is a dietitian? She must compartmentalize a bunch.
re: wewwew
Actually, that is her original major, and then she went into nursing, then hospital administration, and now is at the top of that game, as one of the "Top 25 Women in Healthcare.."
Not at all sure what you mean by the "compartmentalization" comment, so maybe you will be kind enough to clarify that.
re: Bill Hunt
Wow, those is some major accomplishments! Hats off to your lovely bride!
re: Bill Hunt
Just thought hanging out with you she was maybe exposed to less than balanced meals, profound chow but food pyramid correct?
re: thymeoz
How good is your health insurance or pocket book? I have a quick and violent reaction almost every time after eating a conch that I collected off a coral reef that had ciguteria (sp). 30 years later and my stomach still recognises conch and gets rid of it as soon as possible. No allergic reaction from the tests.
Strangely enough, I can eat conch as I had originally prepared it. Hot peppers, onions, and key lime juice. The body and mind is a complex and awesome piece of machinery.
re: INDIANRIVERFL
My insurance is good, but at my age/condition I spend more time than I'd like at various doctors' offices!
re: thymeoz
The test for allergies is pretty quick. You get lightly pricked with a number of pins simultaneously, no pain, and the results come back while you are in the exam room. A postive result returns as an itchy spot on the arm.
re: kurtt
About an hour at least in the waiting room for us where we go, then you have to wait I think 20 minutes or so to get the results? If it's your only doctor visit this year no biggie, but it will take a good chunk of your day if you have other things to do....we just did it together, and husband couldn't even get tested because one of his meds he already takes has antihistamines in it (not even an allergy med, all psych meds also have this as an ingredient for some reason). They claimed I had NO allergies and I'm not sure I believe them anyway, after all that.
re: INDIANRIVERFL
Now for my wife, conch, abalone and limpets are OK - if the mollusk is a bi-valve, she has issues.
re: thymeoz
The GI response is what my wife suffered from. She can do "tastes" of scallop, and can tolerate some oysters in the soup/roux, but not the oysters themselves.
As a 4 yr old I was allowed to eat too many oysters, fried. I was sick that night and refused to eat oysters for 45 years. I am so glad I tried them again. I love them cooked every way I have ordered or cooked them.
I hope you enjoy your scallops as much as I do my oysters. And we are blessed to have a seafood resturant in town that has an extensive oyster menu at the oyster bar, over 10 different kinds flown in freshly every day. And one day a week when they are a 'buck a shuck', you know that's when we go!!

Quotes of the Day
"Markets don't just happen."
--Gov. George Romney
"No one in his right mind would today argue that there is no place for the federal government in the reawakening of America. Indeed, we need another Republican-sponsored Marshall Plan for our cities and schools."
--Henry Cabot Lodge
Both men were urging greater federal involvement in business and education to the platform committee at the 1964 Republican National Convention. According to Rick Perlstein, in his book, "Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus" (pg. 374), they were met with "stony silence" by a committee taken over by uncompromising, upstart Goldwaterites—the same type who now run the GOP, and to whom Romney's son, Mitt, now pays obeisance.

FRUITA, Colo. Fruita Monument High School students built over 1000 fishing poles to gear up for this year's Outdoor Heritage Day.
The Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Fruita Monument High School, and the Colorado Lottery teamed up to assemble fishing rods to be used for Grand Valley children participating in tomorrow's seventh annual Outdoor Heritage Day.
Many different classes from Fruita Monument lent a helping hand, including leadership and agricultural students.
"The kids have a really good satisfaction about being able to complete a task and helping kids go fishing that they've never met. they built 1000 poles in a little over a day, and they're ready to give them away," says Blain McCormick.
Fruita Monument has been volunteering their time and efforts to support outdoor heritage day for several years now.
The event is open for children and their families in an effort to introduce children to many outdoor activities including fishing, camping, and wildlife viewing.
The event will take place in Palisade at Riverbend Park from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M.

'Keep candles out of kindergarten Shabbat parties'
ORIENNE sits with nurse 370.
(photo credit:Kaplan Medical Center)
After a little girl from Ashdod suffered serious skin burns and her dress caught
fire while lighting Shabbat candles in her kindergarten on Friday, her mother
and Kaplan Medical Center doctors called on the government to halt the practice
by replacing them with virtual electric "candles."The five-year-old
girl's mother and physicians said that it was very risky for lit candles to be
handled by small children during kindergarten ceremonies demonstrating how to
make Shabbat – and that the custom has led to injuries.Orinne, the
injured girl, was set afire by the candle, and she suffered second-degree burns
on her chest and abdomen on the right side. The girl got up to hand out the
halla and sweets when a spark from the candles set her dress
afire.Treatment at Kaplan was successful, but it is complicated and very
painful. The doctors saved her life, said her mother, Eleanor.Now the
girl will need longterm rehabilitation for her burns injury, including high
doses of vitamins and proteins, creams and changes of bandages."I call
on all kindergarten teachers to use electric candles to prevent the next case
from occurring," the mother pleaded.Dr. Uri Schulman, a plastic surgeon,
commented that "apparently, the kindergarten teachers swift actions prevented a
greater tragedy. It was a deep burn, and if there isn't satisfactory progress,
we will have to use surgery to give her skin transplants."Demonstrating
the lighting of Shabbat candles, he said, can be done behind class, without the
children being close, or with electric candles that do not burn.

MENOMONIE, Wis. (AP) -- A jury in Dunn County will decide whether a man committed to a mental health facility for killing four people in the Chippewa Valley should be released.
An attorney for Alvin Taylor says his client is no longer on medication and hasn't had a violent outburst at Mendota Mental Health Institute in Madison in 25 years. Taylor once portrayed himself as a "soldier of God" who received messages over the radio and TV directing him to kill four people in the 1980s.
District Attorney James Peterson urged jurors Thursday to recommit Taylor to Mendota. The Eau Claire Leader-Telegram reports jurors could reach a decision Friday.
The victims include Timothy Hayden, of Menomonie; Robert Williams and James Severson, both from Eau Claire; and Daniel Lundgren, of Esko, Minn.

Closed Until December 1st
We are closed during November and re-opening on December 1st with snowmobile and safety equipment rentals.
What it's like Snowmobiling in Paradise!
I'll never forget the first time I heard of this magical place they call 'Paradise' I had just finished my freshmen year of College in Vermont and was ready to move to Colorado and continue my skiing/education. Fortunately I meet this guy, a typical ski bum type living both in Crested Butte and Vermont, who helped guide me with my decision between Western in Gunnison/skiing in Crested Butte and Fort Lewis in Durango. Well his stories of this mystical place where it snowed twice as much in the backcountry then at the resort lured me in. This place literally is called 'Paradise,' part of the West Elk Range, and at Irwin Lodge snows more per year then Alta, UT and Jackson Hole, WY.
Well through a snowmobile into the mix and instantly I was hooked! Initially to gain access to this magically place for skiing but quickly turned into a pure addiction. Growing up in Vermont gave me a love for the winter and skiing, but riding at and around Crested Butte gave me the skills to reach these places. Places with names like the 'Playground' where you'll find both natural and manmade kickers throughout the area. This makes for an extremely diverse area offering many options of an assortment of terrain for all skill levels. The trails are some of the best you can find, as not only does the main trail (Kebler Pass Road) get groomed daily, but usually twice a day. Meaning it's typically smooth both on the way out and way back, making the trail riding much more enjoyable!
Making this THE perfect location to rent high end snowmobiles, so next time you're in Crested Butte choose us to be you're ride to 'Paradise!'
Crested Butte: The Wildflower Capitol of Colorado
Crested Butte is called the Wildflower Capitol of Colorado. There are hundreds of different kinds of wildflowers in Crested Butte and the surrounding areas. Wildflower season runs June to September and is ever-changing from spring to summer to early fall flowers.
Crested Butte Mountain Resort offers daily guided peak hikes for $45 per person. Washington Gulch Road, Paradise Basin, and Schofield Pass Road are popular spots to see the wildflowers. The short drive to Gothic is doable in most cars. But you do want a high profile vehicle for Paradise Basin and Schofield Pass Road. You can rent a high profile vehicle from Aplenglow Rentals in Crested Butte.
Mark your calendar for the week long Crested Butte Wildflower Festival. The annual festival is in early to mid July. There are additional events starting in late June and running through mid-August.

Gamestop buys Impulse...no, it's not an early April Fools day joke
posted: 3/31/2011 9:09:00 PM
In one of the more interesting examples of gaming M&A the folks at Gamestop
digital distributor Impulse from Stardock. The move gives the retailer an amazingly solid foothold in the digital distribution world and clears Stardock to focus back on creating games (like
Galactic Civilization 3
In an
eloquent letter
to it's fanbase the folks at Stardock assure their current customers that their service will not be interrupted in the least bit and that Stardock will continue to be involved in the maintenance and growth of the service.
It's going to be interesting to see what Gamestop does with the service as it's not hard to imagine a lot of exclusives and DLC offers being only available through Impulse. Hell I would gather that we'll see the Gamestop/Game Informer discount information pushed onto the service which will help drive customers there as well.
My last thought about the move is that it proves once and for all that PC gaming isn't dead. You don't see a major retailer like Gamestop making this kind of investment unless they believe in the platform and the product.

Facebook Solves Murder In Fulton New York
The Fulton Police Department say a Facebook post has helped identify the driver of a car that struck Carolee Sadie Ashby in 1968.

There's a funny thing about parents and technology. That being a majority of moms and dads are pretty tech unsavvy without the help of us internet-obsessed younger folk. And while parental struggles can be frustrating at times, their attempts to get in the techy loop are mostly just hilarious. This is particularly true with Facebook.
Think you know everything there is to know about Facebook? There's more to the social media empire than meets the eye, literally. Want to know why Facebook is blue? Curious to know what the divorce rate is because of Facebook? Want to know what facebook.com sold for back in 2005? No worries, I'm on it for you!
Here's something that shouldn't come as a shock to you - According to a new study, Facebook users are prone to anxiety and alcohol abuse (you don't say?).
In December, Dave Vitali was going to see his daughter when he got into a serious accident.He flipped his pickup truck, and hung upside down and bleeding with his only comfort being that his trusty dog Max was by his side and okay. Unfortunately, when the ambulances came the sirens scared the golden retriever, and Max ran away
It seems as though the greasy breakfast staple that we've all grown to love, and love and love is as big as ever. There are signs everywhere showing our passion for bacon: 'Keep Calm and Eat Bacon' is just one floating around here. Hello, there's even the Bacon Brothers (I know that's their last name, but still) touring around the country playing their music. Yes, we all love bacon but what if you had to choose between Bacon or Oral? Which route would you take? Stopped you dead in your tracks didn't I?
Starting today in the U.S. you can show your facebook peeps what your watching on Netflix.
Last night on our Facebook page I posed a very important question: 'If you had to choose between Bacon or Booze, which could you live without?' Riveting right? Apparently, this is a serious question and many had plenty to say.
Your partner's spent the whole day at the computer. They get up and wander off to the restroom, or to grab a drink, and you lean over innocently to clean up their workspace. As you're picking up the rumpled paper, and wiping away the crumbs, you notice they left their Facebook messages open
Want more Twitter followers? Researchers actually sat down to figure out what it takes (How sad is that?)
Yesterday we learned that more and more people are taking long breaks from Facebook. If they're not getting paid for these social network hiatuses they may be doing it wrong.
Valentine's Day may be in the air, but it seems like there isn't a ton of love for Facebook

CLEBURNE — The Cleburne Yellow Jackets posted a winning record and reached the playoffs for the first time in a decade under first-year coach Jeff Merket in 2012 and that success has created a football revival in the town.There was some doubt on whether Merket would return this season , but there he was Tuesday keeping a watchful eye over Cleburne's second practice of the day."Things are great. We're in the process of getting a new weight room installed, our numbers are up, our staff size is up, so things are good," Merket said. "We just had to take care of a few things that weren't quite going the direction they needed to. We got all of that taken care of so, everything is very positive right now."40 varsity and another 45 junior varsity players zipped from station to station during the workout. Merket said they fielded only 30 varsity players and 18 on JV in 2012. The Yellow Jackets will also field approximately 60 freshman this season and the enthusiasm has trickled down."There is a difference this season," Merket said. "I've got a son who plays PeeWee Football and they're even having to add more teams because more kids are coming out. I think football is back on the rise in Cleburne."Replacing CowardThe Yellow Jackets were an offensive juggernaut last season which averaged 480 yards a game led by a 6-foot-4, 210-pound senior quarterback and District 8-4A MVP Quade Coward. Cleburne returns several playmaking receivers such as Kameron Pickett (42 catches, 725 yards, 11 touchdowns) and Al Baylor (23 grabs, 556 yards, 24.2 yards per catch and 4 scores), but has to figure out who will get them the ball."We're doing good, we're getting there," Pickett said. "It's a big difference from last year with all of the seniors leaving but the young kids are stepping up and we're stil trying to figure out the quarterback situation."Daniel Richardson, Coward's backup last season, and sophomore Brian Baca, are battling it out for the starting spot. Both are about 5-10, 170 pounds and described as very smart."They're about equal in everything they do. They're about the same size, same speed, the same throwing," Merket said. "Both can play other positions, so it's not like one's going to be the starter and one's going to sit. They'll be on the field this season."DefenseThe second practice Tuesday was all about defense and Cleburne is banking on the unit to carry the team early while the offense gets a little seasoning.The Yellow Jackets return nine starters to their 3-4 base defense, including 6-0, 290-pound junior nose guard Tevin Boone, who has drawn interest from many of the BCS colleges in Texas. Cleburne returns its entire linebacker corps led by senior Bezuan Miller.The secondary is led by safeties Kendall Nettick, an all-district performer last season, and 6-3, 185-pound speedster Reggie Robinson, who Merket described as "going to be a highly recruited athlete.""This is the last set of high school two-a-days I'll have so it's kind of a big thing," Miller said. "I'm not really a fan of practice, but I love the game so it's going to hurt when I leave."EnthusiasmTuesday's practice was crisp, fast-paced and extremely loud to the point that coaches had a hard time communicating from 20 yards away.At one point a Yellow Jacket player raised up out of his stance at the line of scrimmage and yelled, "lots of loud noises," which cracked up the whole team, including the coaching staff."If you don't play with enthusiasm then you're just going through the motions," Merket said. " The coaches really try and build it up and we get excited trying to get them excited and to go play with some enthusiasm and intensity."Jarret Johnson, 817-390-7760Twitter: @JohnsonJarret

In the introductory videos for the Bertone Mantide, designer Jason Castriota says "There's a reason we introduced the car here," in Shanghai -- and the performance of the Shanghai Motor Show appears to justify that kind of thinking for nearly every automaker there. The show was physically larger than the last one (two years ago), with 600,000 people arrived to view the gleaming wares of 918 cars (602 of them from China) and 582 component makers from all over the world.
Nor did the show skimp on the financial numbers as well: Lifan took $170 million in international orders for its MINI-derived Lifan 320 (pictured), Bentley 15 cars -- including all of its display vehicles -- and expected to close several more deals after the show closed its doors, and Rolls-Royce moved 18 models. China's economy may not be burn like a supernova anymore, but there is still plenty of heat left in it.

Fixes for Common "Mom Style" Problems
Now that her daughter's two, this writer admits it's time for a fashion reinvention. Join her in learning how to make mom-friendly style a fashion do.
By Cari Wira Dineen
Saggy, baggy boobies and bras
Your boobs have been through a lot, so don't neglect them. Toss your stretched-out maternity bras. And forget your pre-baby bras. Your chest has changed and it's time to get resized. "A proper fitting bra changes the way your clothes fit," says Sailer. And a pretty one changes the way you feel. Toss in some matching panties while you're at it.

November 26, 2014
Adoptive families from Madison are celebrating their children at the fifth annual International Adoption Citizenship Day at the Capitol.
Children from almost 20 countries are getting acquainted to their new homes by taking part in American traditions. Dozens of adoptive children are given certificates, American flags and even get their pictures taken in front of a mock Statue of Liberty.
Parents say the event really helps welcome their new children home. Dana Marthaler is an adoptive mother, she says, "If it wasn't for this event, you'd just bring home your child and that would be it, you'd go to the courthouse six months later and it would be finalized, but this is an actual celebration of that."
Over 20,000 children are adopted from foreign countries every year.

From this high up, the world seems small and compact, framing the ocean, mountains, and desert in the same field of vision. Though Mt. Baldy's soaring peaks seem to shrink the globe to the size of a globe, they also grant access to nature's majesty throughout the year. Four chairlifts gently propel skiers through the San Gabriel Mountains over the trails and 600 acres of skiable earth ranging from gentle slopes to natural quarter pipes. In the warmer months, hiking trails blaze through mountainsides, affording glimpses of historical mining facilities and natural wonders, such as canyons, fauna such as bighorn sheep, and Mother Nature's secret collection of acre-long coffee spoons.
Nobody in Orange County has a snow-covered slope in their backyard to practice slalom runs. Some think they can just march up a mountain and dominate a black diamond on courage and instinct alone. Instead, they wind up face first in snow, wishing they?d practiced.
In order to prepare skiers and snowboarders for the real deal, and to spare them from slushy, frostbitten shame, two-time world ski champion Bob Salemo devised his innovative Virtual Snow training system. In a controlled indoor environment far away from menacing ski lifts and snowballs tossed by mountain goats, winter-sports enthusiasts perfect their maneuvers in fun training drills led by skilled instructors. The faux ski-course simulator, which resembles a large conveyor belt, mimics the smooth surface and wily turns of a downhill slope as its carpeted surface rolls beneath the feet of students on skis or snowboards. Future Picabo Streets or Shawn Whites not only expand their abilities to new levels, but they can also practice tricks without bailing out and shake off any bad habits they learned from sleet gangs.
If you didn't know any better, it would be easy to assume that The School of Shred is a place to learn guitar, or at least a place to practice the art of destroying important documents. Instead, the school teaches its students how to shred through waves, shred across pavement, and shred down mountainsides. It's a fitting business name for owner Corey Oswald, who has seemingly spent more of his life moving on some kind of board than on his own two feet. Corey has more than 20 years of experience surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding. But today, and for nearly a decade now, he helps others get their shred on by offering group and private lessons in all three sports.
BOLDFITNESS owner Jeff Archibald offers functional fitness regimens such as weightlifting, core training and body-weight exercises. Jeff helps clients of all ages and abilities get in shape, reach their full athletic potential, recover from injuries, or train for sporting events. With scenic workouts along the Santa Monica Mountains, Jeff may take clients walking, hiking, running, and mountain or road biking. Shorter workouts may take clients to unconventional locales such as the 4th Street Stairs in Santa Monica, an ideal setting for full-body conditioning. But Jeff doesn't eschew traditional fitness facilities entirely—he regularly works with individuals in homes, at a health club, and at an indoor rock climbing venue. But at some point between reps, he'll likely suggest a trip outdoors for cardio training.
