Gynecomastia, LOL. The kid is plain fat. If he ever loses weight, he will be dismayed to find out that he will need to have surgery to remove the excess skin that he has given himself.
A couple of days ago, I introduced you to one of my favorite training methods: Tabata Workouts…
At the end of that post, I promised you a pair of Tabata style workouts.
And, seeing that I am a man of my word, I'm going to deliver…
…but, before I dive right into the workouts, I should probably review some of the theory / rules behind these tabata workouts.
Note: Use a clock, stopwatch, workout buddy or a dedicated HIIT timer to keep track of your work sets and rest periods. I prefer….
Instead of giving you a static workout with pre-selected exercises, I have decided to organize the workout by movement patterns (e.g. Vertical Push) or dominant muscle groups (Quadriceps).
Within those groups, I have given you a list of related exercises.
For example, within the Vertical Push Movement Group, you can choose from 1 Arm Overhead Press, Push Presses, 1 Arm Grappler Presses, Side Presses, etc…
Remember, the goal is to go as hard as you can for 8 sets of 20 seconds.
And while it's not required, I highly recommend using an interval timer with your Tabatas. Trying to watch the clock an do these workouts is a real pain in the butt.
Gynecomastia, LOL. The kid is plain fat. If he ever loses weight, he will be dismayed to find out that he will need to have surgery to remove the excess skin that he has given himself.
The kid in the before picture has a serious case of gynecomastia that would require surgery to correct since glandular tissue can't be exercised away. He could spend 5 years in a nazi prison camp and still not get rid of it. Unless "Tabata" is a type of scalpel this claim is BS.

This article would be worth a read if you're considering a Tabata style workout.
Here's a snippet from the article:
"The first study used 14 young male students and was done on a cycle ergometer (note: not with resistance training exercises) – a favourite due to the low reliance on technique making it suited to supra-maximal efforts such as needed in this study. The study choose to measure Vo2 max for improvements along with anaerobic capacity (note: no body composition data was taken at all).
While one group carried out fairly normal aerobic training for an hour a day, the Tabata group were exercised for bouts of 20 seconds at a percentage of 170% of VO2 max, with only 10 seconds rest. They continued this to exhaustion (as defined by being unable to maintain a set pedal cadence). Now, if you haven't tried exercising at this level, let me tell you it is seriously difficult to both attain and sustain, as evidenced by his 1997 study where 3 out of the 9 subjects were unable to even complete the eight bouts of 20 seconds. In fact this level of VO2 would be realistically impossible to attain doing a free weight movement, due to technique requirements, local muscle fatigue, and practical safety considerations.
So, what happened? Well the aerobic group got fitter, but didn't improve their anaerobic capacity. The Tabata group? Well they got a bit fitter too, and also managed to improve anaerobic capacity by 28% (note: the Tabata group did not improve their VO2 max beyond the aerobic training group). What all our Tabata fans fail to mention is that the Tabata group stopped seeing much in the way of improvements after the fourth week, suggesting that the adaptation to this kind of routine is quick."
You are right of course in stair climbing there is weight bearing but it is much less than in lunging. Relatively less weight bearing occurs than with lunges in the article it says squats produce a 7xBW load. Lunges would be substantially more as one leg is taking the strain.
I agree with the mobility and imbalance issues which begin with the feet. IMO we fail to use our feet effectively and if we did we'd have less problems with our knees, in general life and lunges!
I just don't like the idea of the lunge extending the knee deeply so it is protuding beyond the toes.
Love the site by the wya, I've only just found it.
Great post – i love Tabata training, although I favour mix and matching exercises. One thing
Lunge forward onto the ball of your foot AND keep your step short and allow the knee to travel past your toes…I know, I know, everyone says not to lunge this way, but it really hits the quads. BTW, take a look at how far your knee travels past your toes as you climb a flight of stairs…ooooh scary stuff.
I wouldn't recommend this lunge, my knees are complaining just thinking about it. Sure if your quads are strong enough to protect the knee it might be ok. The comparison with the stair climbing is not valid as your weight is backward and not being supported by the knee. In the lunge the knee is weight bearing and so these lunges shouldn't be used, imo.
Instead you could try lunges with a jump and switch of the legs, that'll up the intensity!
What if you have no access to a gym? Can this workout work for someone who is a beginner and only has a few free weights?
BTW…love your articles and posts. I am currently on Day 2 of the Paleo Diet for the 21st century.
Thanks. Any ideas would help. I'm down to that last ten lbs that I want to loose and it's extremely stubborn. I thought this might be a good idea to shake up my routine and get over that hump.
Is it possible to put a Tabata training together that doesn't require the use of an actual gym? I have a large variety of hand weights and I already pay for a membership at an MMA gym for 3 days a week. I've done the Tabata training before so I know it works but access to that type of a gym right now is not an option but I'd like to put it back into my routine on the days I'm not doing kickboxing/Muay Thai.
Sorry, don't mean to be stuoid, but I looked at the 101 entry as well but I still am not sure what you mean by "3). Perform 7 more sets
4). Move on to the next exercise." Does that mean I do 4.5 minutes (alternating between 20 sec work and 10 sec rest) of the one exercise and then move on? So the work out in total ends up being 4.5 minutes x 8=36 minutes?
Amazing post. This is the BEST Tabata post I have seen to date. Thanks for all the awesome explanation behind the structure you've put together.
I don't know if this was mentioned but the iPhone has a FREE HITT timer called Tabata Lite. It's very basic, but it WORKS! and it's FREE!!! Enjoy.
I have tried this training style, and i can say that it definitely works! If you have tried it yet, i suggest to do it right now!
I tried this out for the first time yesterday – it was pretty intense! I look forward to seeing the results in the coming weeks… I have a couple of questions though: 1 – for the exercises using 1 arm (or leg), do you alternate sets, or do you do 8 sets with one arm, then 8 sets with the other arm (taking the 1 arm overhead press as an example)? 2. How should I judge what weight to use?
Great site by the way! I'm eagerly awaiting part 5 of the deadpool workout…
I made a comment back in January about the online version of WOD Timer and I'm posting again to (finally) let you know of the iPod Touch and iPhone version. More info here: http://www.thefitblog.net/wodtimer
But what I can hardly believe is how the comments have kept on rolling in on this post through the entire year! Awesome.
Great routine guys and I'd really like to link to it if I may. My husband is taking this to gym and I hope he has a total transformation! And Dave, shame on you; your mother will be very unhappy about your post.

This site is a bunch of bull. There is no way that is the same person. NO WAY!!! There is no way that the Tabata program can make someone go from the one picture to the next. The first point is you do so much HIT cardio even in the 4 minutes that he would never get the size he has gotten. The second point is with HIT you look like a long distance runner when doing cardio not a bodybuilder. I am calling him out show more pictures to prove you are who you say you are, other wise STOP ALL THE LIES!!!!

So i think I am going to start this, on a beginner level. Doing three different exercises twice a week, with some recovery days that include walking and one day dedicated to core as that is the only thing that keeps my back from going out. Any advice or comments on this plan? I am an athletic 310 pounds (down 16 lbs) by modifying my diet but need to step it up. I am now working with a dietitian and have stopped sabotaging my weight loss efforts with fast food, I was a fast food junkie. I would consider myself out of shape would that stop me from doing this workout? I am healthy as a horse except for the weight of course and my doctor has been begging me to get the weight off, so I am finally listening. Any comments would be great.
I've been doing tabata intervals at home for a couple of years now using body weight exercises only and they are kicking my butt!
I am using a combination of HIIT/HIRT/Tabata training for my bi-weekly conditioning workouts. I am going to have to give up my nightly M/W/F muay thai kickboxing classes for now, so I'll be replacing those with T/Th conditioning workouts at noon. Good times.
yah, those workouts will definitely kick anyone's (you know what)… been looking for a challenge so will try these with my next round of workouts… thanks, can't wait to test myself!
I can't wait to try this workout. You're doing a great thing for many people!
Hey Josh, don't have much for you on the deadpool workout, but will try and take a look, you might find some more info and workouts to help on my site,
all the best,
MikeBest Workout Reviews
I have been following any information on Ryan Reynolds various workouts since he played in Blade Trinity but have been unable to find much on his deadpool workout. I would love to know what you have. I am a crazy ectomorph and have to try hard to gain mass, my determination goes up and down, but I am looking to really push myself again, could you please share any information on his Deadpool workout that you have I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
If adding size & strength is your goal, we can do better than the Deadpool workout.
I love working with cops/firefighters & military. I will put together a program designed to slap some muscle on a hardgainer while increasing strength and improving anaerobic endurance.
The "Super-Cop" Workout
Give me a few days to put the article together
Drobb, I am really interested in the Deadpool workout program for Ryan Reynolds you spoke about on Squidoo. Im a skinny guy (165lbs, 6″tall) and want to put on some muscle as Im a police officer and deal with people twice the size of me on a regular basis and a little more muscle will be a big help. If possible could you email me with this information to the address provided. Thanks in advance for any advice.
You can find a Tabata Timer for your iPhone or iPod Touch at http://www.katr.com/iphone.php#tabata. It has visual as well as auditory cues so that you can watch or listen for your activity and rest periods. If you are listening to music on your device, the sound cues will overlay your music. It really helps keep you focused on your workout without worrying about your timing.
Wow! That's laid out so clearly! Thanks so much for all the great work you do!
So, I did my first Tabata workout today. Killer!
Are those pictures up top really the same person? If so that is an amazing transformation. That's what I want for myself.
Very Interesting post! Thank you for such interesting resource!
PS: Sorry for my bad english, I'v just started to learn this language
See you!
Your, Raiul Baztepo
I'm a Personal Trainer and Nutritionist from British Columbia and have just finished an article on my blog about this subject. I had a tough routine in mind to put to paper, but then came across this article and was sincerely impressed with your understanding on the subject.
So, to make a long story short, I used your routine, with a live link back to you, and have put you in my blogroll, as I think my readers will benefit from what you say. However, I thought it best to see if you're fine with your information being used. I'm located at http://healthinmotion.wordpress.com/.
I just started a interval training program. It's been about 2 weeks and now my left shoulder is starting to bother me a bit. It feels like i'm overworking my rotator cuff. Could the resistance bands be aggrevating my shoulder? what are your thoughts?
Hey DR,
interesting read about HIIT (also great site). I was wondering how to incorporate that protocol in my regime: 6 out of 7 days I am doing some activity like swimming, climbing, running. The running is combined with push ups and chin ups as well as rope skipping; just cardio like stuff. So, I thought of applying that to running and to the bodyweight exercises, but was not sure as to how often per week. Maybe you can suggest something, that would be most helpful.
Nice. Yes, I've thought about that too. Definitely a more portable version would be more useful..
Tabata workouts are so freakin good. Love the post.
If you're looking for an online/offline timer for tabatas, there's one available, here at thefitblog.net.
BTW, those are some EPIC man boobs in the first picture.
I smell success! @totaltransformation: you must be ripped! well done, doug
I have got to try this! Wait, you have my doing something very similar.
Well, you are a little more advanced than most people
He's not just the president of Manssiere Inc, he's also a client.
Very nice timer Jamie.
I don't have any idea how to do it, but it would be awesome if it could be downloaded to an iPhone.
On a related note, I just received a portable interval timer and I will be trying it out next week – post will follow.
Hi Felix
To avoid messing with your current routine, I would try adding some aerobic HIIT training into your current swimming/running routine. Start easy with the beginner routine included in this post. If that's too easy for you, I can give you a hand ramping it up a bit.
Bodyweight exercises are also a good tool – This post might help you put together an anaerobic HIIT training program
Let me know if this helps
The bands are no worse than any other method of resistance training for injuries – Have a sports medicine doc have a look at it – Good luck with the injury and the website.
Any time Jorg – We all have Dr. Tabata to thank for the research anyway
Not exactly…I took a little artistic license.
The guy on the right is an Olympic weightlifter. Pretty good motivational picture though…He is stuck to my fridge – keeps me eating healthy
Thanks Bill
Hey George,
I would love to hear how the Tabata workouts work for you. Write back and comment anytime
Hi Drobb
i was greatly impressed at the transformation of ryan reynolds in blade trinity and would be very grateful if you could email me his Deadpool workout please and even the blade trinity one if you have it. I saw the lens on squidoo and couldnt figure out how to contact you
Thanking you in advance
Good times?
You sir, are a sick SOB
Tomorrow's post will have a new and improved version of the Ryan's Deadpool workout.
I have been beta testing it on a few (formerly scrawny) clients and it has worked better that I even imagined.
Muscle mass increased really well
Strength went up
Power went up
and all of the clients went from having skinny-fat abs to having hard, muscular abs
Personally, I had just finished a strong man phase so I just used the getting ripped portion of the workout. It worked better than any other program I have used in my 23 years of working out.
No B.S.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- The season opener is just days away for the UAlbany men's basketball teams. The Great Danes were talking hoops on Wednesday at the team's annual Media Day.
The men are coming off a 19-15 season last year, but remember they lost a lot of scoring with the departures of Gerardo Suero and Logan Aronhalt. They still feel like they can score this season, but the focus will be on stopping the other guys.
Six times last year, UAlbany gave up at least 80 points in a game, which always resulted in a loss. Defense has been the main focus so far this preseason.
UAlbany opens the season on November 9th when they host Duquesne.
The UAlbany women are also getting ready for their season opener. The Danes are coming off a historic season.
They were the America East champs and earned a bid to the NCAA tournament. Both were firsts for the program
UAlbany went 23-10 overall and return a ton of talent from last year team. However, this team is not resting on the success of last years team. They want to make their own mark this season.
The women open the season on November 9th hosting Fordham. They play at 8:30 pm before the men's game at 6:30 pm.

I love this mascara! It gives me great lashes - full, long and separated, keeps the curl up for the whole day and never smudges on me. I have really watery eyes which meant that many mascaras would flake and smudge after a few hours, however majolica's lash expander has never ever done that (even after crying). It comes off easily with the Loreal's waterproof eye makeup remover and Loreal's cashmere makeup remover. This is an awesome mascara, worth every single cent.
I really do love this mascara. I've been using it for a year. I thought I was in love with loreal panoramic curl (it fanned out my lashes and kept the curl in).. then I switched to Diorshow expecting more volume (hated it since it didn't keep a curl and didn't lengthen)... and then I switched to Fiberwig, which I loved, but hated that it didn't give me the volume and curling power I wanted.
This mascara is a total godsend. The comb applicator is much more precise and easy to work with than those regular fat brushes that would probably work best on long, full lashes (not short Asian lashes like mine). This mascara especially works best on the bottom lashes. It takes a bit of effort to take off (like everyone said below) but I think it's totally worth it. I bought the Shiseido mascara base so I'm going to start using it with that to see if it boosts the effects. I also bought YSl Faux Cils and did one of my eyes for comparison with the other eye, using Majolica alone. The one with Majolica looks WAY longer, but the YSL looks like I have more lashes (more separation). Nonetheless, I will choose Majolica over any mascara I have tried.
During a recent trip to Japan I tried this mascara out after reading positive reviews. Even though people stated clearly over and over again that this mascara has "staying power" I was skeptical and assumed it would easily come off with some makeup remover and oil cleanser. Well...let me backtrack. I loved this mascara when applied. It made my eyelashes super long and I felt glamorous wearing this stuff over my typical Maybelline. Then I got back to my hotel after a day of hoofing it around southern Japan, and despite the humidity and my sweating, my lashes still looked perfect. Great! I contemplated buying a few more tubes before coming home. That is, until I tried removing it. I washed my face and nothing happened. I used makeup remover and a bit of the mascara started flaking off in chunks. I scrubbed a bit harder with a super creamy body wash, and more of the mascara came off (still in little chunky flakes) and proceeded to get all over my cheeks. Yet after rinsing, there was STILL mascara on my eyelashes and now all over my face. I then proceeded to pull or rub off the mascara off my lashes just so I could finally get to bed and not wake up with black flakes burning my eyeballs. This still did not entirely remove the mascara, and I noticed over the next two or three days an occasional flake of mascara would appear under my eyes after washing up. Based on how hard this stuff is to remove, I tossed my 1250 yen tube of mascara. I loved how it looked, but hated how hard I had to work to get it off.
I would buy this again if I can find it.
It's my favourite mascara.
The tips don't curl the wrong way when they dry, it stays in the shape that you applied it.
I only recommend this to asians. People with long lashes already probably can't use this anyway.
More reviews by PRiNCESSMAHiNA
Wow I'm really surprised by all the negative reviews of this product! A friend of mines mother went to Japan on a business trip and brought back several tubes...she gave one to me, and I just started using it and woowww...I LOVE IT. It's probably one of the best mascara's I've used...it and Covergirl Volume Exact are my absolute favorites...this IS difficult to get off, that's completely true...but I've found that the best thing to take it off is Lancome Bi-Facil (for sensitive eyes, I think...but I don't think that matters).
Anyway this is fabulous...it's the first mascara I've used that had the comb applicator, which took some getting used to...generally I prefer the rubber brush, but the comb is pretty cool...so if you can get it, I totally recommend buying and trying:D
this mascara has the best staying power ihave ever encountered, which can be a good thing for many people, but for me, im pretty sure i scrubbed out a few of my own lashes trying to get this out :( and i was using an oil based remover as well...
as for length and volume, this product pretty much sucks. you have try to wipe off that excess fibre and mascara from the applicator before you apply otherwise you have waterproof prickly fibres stuck in your eyes for eternity :( this product is no good for me. the only thing its got going for itself is the staying power.
I took the extra step to order this mascara together with the new Lash base from an online website (Bobodave) about 3 years ago. And I have to say..I dislike this mascara. And of course I'll tell you why.
1) The comb applicator is abit awkward to use. Unlike other comb applicators, this comb only has bristles in one direction. Okay basically its like a hair comb? I am never a fan of comb mascaras because I much prefer the normal traditional mascara wand which in my opinion gives better results, for me anyway.
2) Secondly the finish is glossy like a reviewer just said. For me, not a fan of mascara that is too glossy. It doesnt work for me during the day.
3) Its too hard to remove even with baby oil/ Lancome bi facil eye makeup remover. Waterproof mascara is also not good for your lashes. With this mascara I find that my lashes become really really stiff and crunchy? It also stings my eyes slightly if I wear it too long.
In short, I will definitely not be repurchasing this because I find that other drugstore mascaras such as L'oreal voluminous and Max factor 2000 calories work much better for me.
UPDATE 27/7/2010: I recently purchased the latest version ' Lash Expander Frame Plus' and I have been loving it so far! I think the trick is to get used to using the wand applicator. If used correctly it gives me insanely long lush lashes! Also, I very much prefer the new one compared to the older version as I feel that this one does not leave my lashes crunchy. I also find that I am able to remove this mascara easily by using L'oreal gentle eye makeup remover. I am giving this mascara 5 stars because it is reasonably priced for a drugstore mascara and I definitely will repurchase this when I run out! Great value for $$$.

YES! i love this mascara! the comb applicator takes a longer time with application, but it saves you so much time in the long run, because you don't need to get the clumps out after. why? THERE AREN'T ANY! this gives my little asian lashes the most amazing length ever! they look so long! the texture of this mascara is almost like a gel, smooth and slightly liquidy, but not runny. there are little fibers throughout the formula that attach themselves onto your natural lashes to give extra length. this lasts all day long with ZERO smudging, flaking or drooping. when applied, lashes aren't very soft, but they are not brittle either. somewhere in between. beware, this mascara is one of the hardest mascaras to remove that i have ever come across! you must. use. a makeup remover! if you're looking for a more effortless removal, you must use an oil based remover! otherwise, you have to keep working at it for a bit when taking it off. also, be careful with the application! once you get this onto your eyelid, it's not coming off unless you swab it with some makeup remover. also, this mascara will not give you any volume whatsoever, so you have to layer it with another mascara for volume. i personally layer this with loreal's voluminous or mac plushlash for a full out dramatic fan of lashes. of course, the packaging is absolutely GORGEOUS. majolica majorca packaging gets me every time... *sigh*

I usually have a bias towards higher end products but with mascara, I believe when you find the right one, price isn't as big a determining quality factor (unlike foundations and powders). After all, mascara should be thrown out every 3 months so I would prefer if my mascara didn't cost a bomb.
Majolica Majorca is hands down, the BEST mascara I've ever used for my straight, sparse, short (alliteration, anyone?) eyelashes. I've tried other Japanese mascaras (Canmake - too drying and clumping, Dejavu Fiberwig - unspectacular results), American mascaras (L'oreal and Maybelline doing squat), European Mascaras (YSL Fauxcils - too big a brush and heavily fragranced, Bourjois Pump up the volume - good but not spectacular results).
Majorlica Mascara is somehow waterproof but doesn't dry out and make your lashes all clumpy. They still feel soft and look fairly glossy (some people may not like this). The fibers in this product means I get unbelievably long lashes! Used with my Shu Uemura curler, I can actually see my lashes when I look straight into the mirror (they usually just point slightly downward). This mascara also holds a curl very well with no drooping throughout the day. But a waterprood mascara means you have to use a proper oil-based eye makeup remover. I use Shu Uemura's cleansing oil and it works like a charm! :)
This is a comb wand, rather than a brush wand. Some people have problems with comb wands but I personally prefer a comb than a brush wand. It somehow works better on me. I feel I get more length AND volume whenever I use a comb brush (hence why I prefer this over the black Neo version of this mascara).
Lastly, this is cheap at about RM40 (can't remember, which is about £8, or US$10)! Like I said, hands down, the best mascara I've used thus far!
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Oh god.. this is the best mascara I've used yet!! I bought this about a month ago when I was in Japan and it wasn't very pricey at all, about $20AUD when converted. At first, the comb applicator made it seem like it would be hard to use, but after trying it out a couple times its just really fun to apply with the comb applicator :P
So I use this mascara with Shiseido's mascara base and its so amazing!! I was using DiorShow Iconic previously, and it was good, but I found that eventually the curl would droop down throughout the day....HOWEVER, when I tried out MJ Lash Expander, I was seriously amazed, haha - throughout a 15-16hr day, my eyelashes practically did not droop at all. I even went to sleep one night and the curl was still there, but had dropped a bit. I also have really stupid and stubborn lashes that never curl and so many mascaras have failed on me.
Not only that, but the mascara really makes my lashes longer, and it's great, since I also have really short lashes. I'm actually able to see my eyelashes in photos, which is a huuuge step up from before :P. There isn't much clumping at all too, which is great. Sometimes there's some random lashes that just stick together, but those can be separated easily with a lash comb so it's not really a big deal.
The only bad thing I have to say about MJ Lash Expander is that it is a bit hard to remove, but since the mascara works so well, that's no problem :D

|Project manager Fanny Bystedt likes the debate on Seriescenen.
|The audience often spread out far beyond the few seats that were allocated for Seriescenen.
|Joakim Pirinen and Nina Hemmingsson interviewed.
|Åsa Warnqvist interviews Don Rosa.
|The comics "battle", with, among others, Max Gustafsson, Tinet Elmgren and Kim W. Andersson.
|The panel on the Swedish comics business. From left to right: Your's truly, Johannes Klenell (Galago), Josefin Svenske (Kolik), Ingemar Bengtsson (Otimal), Mikael Sol (Egmont) and Rolf Classon (Kartago).
Then I did a talk with the people involved in the new comics publisher Apart, who has started publishing the international hit The Walking Dead in Swedish. As one of the editors is also a cartoonist, he drew me as a zombie, during the talk, making me realize that this does not take all that much tweaking of reality...
|Jimmy Wallin, Jonas Andersson and Johan Kimrin from Apart, on Seriescenen.
|Yours truly being portrayed as a zombie...
|Malin Biller being awarded Urhunden for the best Swedish graphic novel.
|The editors/publishers of Positiv Förlag, Jennie Warg and Camilla Nyman, receiving Unghunden.
|Magnus Knutsson, Tinet Elmgren and Maria Abrahamsson, on the panel about censorship.
Don Rosa drawing in public, on a too small canvas...
All these public events aside, the publishers and the cartoonists are of course the main attraction of the fair, and this year there were more publisher, more buzz, more readers/buyers than ever. Sometimes there were bigger crowds in the comics section of the fair, then in the rest of it and they were buying lots and lots of comics. Most publishers talked about breaking their sales records for the fair and the queues for signing were sometimes enormous.
Here are some of the publishers that were present:
|Albumförlaget and Apart.
And then there were of course loads and loads of cartoonists present. here are some that I managed to get a photo of:
|Malin Biller.
|Sara Hansson.
|Don Rosa.
|Mats Jonsson.
|Kolik Förlag recieved two Adamson awards, for Lina Neidestam's Maran och Kim W. Andersson's Love Hurts.
Then there was the official dinner for all the speakers and guests of the fair, a posh event at one of the grander houses in Gothenburg. I must admit that I prefer the rowdy Galago party, or even better the really good beers and likewise company at the pub the Flying Barrel, which has become my favourite night time water hole the last three or four Book Fairs in Gothenburg.

I found the backdrop of modern-day war and political turmoil really interesting as well as the way the two main characters Carrie and Brody developed over the course of the series. If you like high quality, gripping drama, you will love this, believe all the hype.

Emasculated American HistorySubmitted by MaxK on Wed, 08/17/2011 - 13:27
Back in December, 1773, our forefathers (forewomen too, although there were no women), protested the lack of representation, laws that went against their rights and taxes, and dumped a bunch of tea overboard.
It went on in this way. They all dressed up as a bunch of tax collectors (not indians) and boarded vessels in Boston Harbor and dumped a lot of tea overboard. Their leader, a tax prosecutor, made sure they did everything legal, and sent to jail anyone that committed a crime (like dumping tea that wasn't theirs overboard). Oh my, that is dreadful!
All this might not make much sense, as to how tax collectors are leading a tax protest, but that doesn't matter. GOD said to take the job, and despite the fact that John the Baptist was the last and greatest of the prophets, no one paid much mind, didn't read their Bible as the real source for the Word, and went with the one hearing a voice.
And so that is how tea was both dumped overboard and drunk the same day. And rum was never better apparently. I'll forgo the Revelation allusion.

Are teenagers ready to trade in a 280-calorie Snickers candy bar for a 150-calorie pack of Snickers cookies?
Union County high school students are helping the Mars candy company find out.
Parkwood, Marvin Ridge and Monroe high schools are taking part in a pilot program for Mars' new "Generation Max" snacks, which are not available outside schools. The program began in September and will end in December. A school district in Nevada is the only other in the pilot program.
The Union high schoolers also buy other lower-calorie snacks, including a Three Musketeers "brownie bar," M&Ms cookies and Twix cereal clusters. All have 150 calories or fewer.
Denise Lamar, child nutrition supervisor for Union County Schools, said high school students weren't pleased when the schools began removing high-calorie, high-fat ice creams and cookies from the snack menu in anticipation of stricter state nutritional standards.
"You could tell it in our sales," she said. "They just quit buying (snacks) rather than changing to something else."
Federal and state school nutritional standards continue to tighten. In Union County high schools, that has meant more health-conscious cooking, offering hummus, fruits and vegetables for snacks and widening food choices to include salads and other healthy foods.
The new Mars snacks fill some of the void left by traditional sweet treats, Lamar said. Students especially like the brownie bar treats. Emily Korns of Mars said that with rising rates of childhood diabetes and obesity, the company no longer markets confectionery snacks to children younger than 12. Company chefs use new ingredients, such as a protein base instead of a sugar base in the brownie bars, to cut fat and calories.
As the year ends, Mars officials will talk with students and staff about how they liked the snacks. Lamar said sales of Generation Max snacks haven't been competitive with popular salty snacks. But the school will continue to sell the Gen Max snack varieties students like best.

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, `and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice `without pictures or conversation?'ReplyDelete
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy- chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, `Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat- pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.
In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.
The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.

The restaurant will feature 32 cold salads and additional 18 hot options at a self-service bar, including Brazilian staples like the bean and meat preparation called feijoada, often thought of as the country's national dish. Also look out for estroganofe, Brazil's take on Beef Stroganoff, the well-known Russian classic of meat and cream that found worldwide popularity in the 1950s.
A hybrid of Brazilian steakhouse and fast-food joint, the restaurant will have to-go pricing at $6.99 per pound, and diners preferring to sit and stay will pay $9.99 for unlimited access to the bar items. A $3 upgrade will buy access to a selection of eight roasted meats, although there will be no tableside carving service commonly found in the higher-end Brazilian steakhouses.
Washington Ferreira, who will be joined by family members in operating the establishment, predicted an opening in early October. Brazillian Grill will mainly cater to a lunch crowd, with hours of 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Friday and 12 p.m.-5 p.m. Saturday. The restaurant will be closed Sunday

Pretrieve Links to Court Records
Pretrieve, my new favorite people finder, has added court records to it's search results. In Wisconsin, this means that it will conduct a search in the WI Supreme Court opinion & orders database and the Wisconsin Circuit Court Access (WCCA) database.
However, as Genie Tyburski points out, "Pretrieve's coverage extends only to courts with Web-based search engines for querying judicial opinions. . . If you are conducting the research for a client, or for the purpose of making a business decision, you would do far better to consult with an experienced public records researcher."

I injured myself...
Posted by Sam
...helping my dad by handing him heavy boxes up above my head into his attic. I didn't feel anything at the time but the next morning I woke up with intense pain in my left shoulder. That was about 4-5 months ago and now I have what is known as frozen shoulder, limited range of motion, intense difficulty getting comfortable enough at night to get a good sleep and occasionally forget that I can't movie my arm in certain ways and almost faint from the pain. I have diagnosed myself with rotator cuff injury. I don't have insurance and have researched enough to know it would cost thousands of dollars just to get an official diagnosis and the treatment is often months or even years of physical therapy to avoid surgery. Here's where I need advice: has anyone ever experienced this sort of injury and what can you recommend that I do to "fix it" myself? Should I keep it immobile or work on my range of motion to the point of stress or what? Any input would be greatly appreciated as this is limiting my physical functioning in some ways...
I sustained an injury to my right shoulder as a result of a tug of war at a company picnic. This was about 15 years ago. Unlike you I noticed my injury within minutes. But I had the intense pain you mentioned. I wasn't close to fainting, but I had lie totally flat on my back on a picnic table. My wife me drove home and all I could do was go to bed. It hurt to move my shoulder and arm for several days or more. Unlike you, it wasn't four or five months for 90% of what I did. I think I used a sling for awhile. Eventually, after the major pain subsided, I realized that I had limited motion. The main limitation was that I could not throw overhand. I had to side arm everything. Not expecting to become a quarterback or a pitcher, and having lousy insurance, I lived with the injury. I had some problems lifting over my head, but I don't do a whole lot of that either.
But lo and behold, after about ten years I eventually regained the full use of my arm, and now I can throw overhand and lift heavy objects again. I spoke with a doctor friend about it years after the fact, and he said that the I probably had rotator cuff injury. I had a piece of torn cartilage floating between my joints, acting like a pebble between gears. Eventually that loose piece dissolved or was worn away. Do you have a "clicking" when you move your arm in certain positions? I did.
I followed the advice of the doctor in the old vaudeville routine. "Doctor, it hurts when I do this..." Doctor: "Don't do that."
Thx for the input, Curt. It helped reassure me that there's hope I can just wait it out until Medicare, if needed, kicks in...13 more years...lol..I do have kind of a clicky feeling sometimes and definite nerve impingement. If I relax my shoulder all the way, it feels like it's falling out of the socket a bit and that hurts so I stay tense most of the time trying to keep it up where it belongs. It's exhausting and causing pain to my neck and back from the tension. Even if I had insurance I would be hesitant to go to doctors who would charge so much just to be told what you said "don't do that", a waste. I hate getting old. Just can't bounce back like I used to. Did that doctor happen to mention whether it's better to baby an injury like this, keep it as immobile as possible, than to work it?
We didn't talk about babying the injury or not, because by then I had fully recovered. On Wednesdays, tomorrow, I run with another doctor friend, my GP. I'll try to bring up your case and get his opinion. The Brits had (and presumably still have) a good website to trouble shoot medical issues. It's like my selector, it recommends if you should seek medical attention, take an asprin, ignore it, etc. Go to [www.nhs.uk] Maybe it can diagnose your situation. Also you might not have to wait for Medicare if the new health care program kicks in sooner.
Physical therapy isn't rocket science. It's mostly just disciplining yourself to do the recommended exercises. I had a runners' injury and my doctor friend sent me a link to some physical therapy exercises which I did religiously. Ice was involved too. I forgot the name of the site, but it was easy to Google and find it, it was a clinic's site. Assuming your self-diagnosis is correct, you might be able to find an exercise that you should be doing. I haven't heard from the doctor friend today, but I'll talk with him soon, certainly within the next few days.
Yeah, Curt, I have gleaned quite a bit of conflicting advice on all those medical sites. I can follow a regime for healing easily if I know the best way. I ordered a kit yesterday that contains a weighted ball system for exercising and a brace to wear at night which is when it's at its worst for me. I tried some light weight exercises myself and it's excruciating so I wonder if I'm re-damaging it each time I push it to the limit...I appreciate your attention, concern and help. Right now I just mostly keep it immobile. Luckily I can still type
I wonder if you have some sort of repetitive strain injury, not a rotator cuff injury. I recently had a carpal tunnel injury as the result of installing five rooms of wood flooring. It hurt so badily I couldn't sleep more than a couple hours at a time without the fiery pain in my wrist and hand waking me. Immobilizing my wrist in a splint at night was what cured it.
I'm pretty sure it's rotator cuff. I did not do much repetition of moving the heavy boxes up over my head, believe me! I'm sure I tore something although I didn't feel a thing until the next day. That's one of the diagnostics for rotator cuff injury, that the pain of the injury may not set in for hours or days afterward. Anyway, I'm still functional so that's the important thing, eh?
I just completed a four mile run with my doctor friend. I described your case as best I could. I inadvertently said you self-diagnosed it as carpal tunnel, to which he said it might be possible that the pain radiated up into your shoulder and/or it was compensation injury but neither was likely. Realizing my error, I immediately corrected myself and said you thought it might be rotator cuff. That he said was very likely. He said he's had a rotator cuff injury himself from cross-country skiing. In particular from the reaching and planting of the ski poles with every slide. In his case, it went away on its own. He's 44 and this happened a few years ago. His rotator cuff injury didn't last as long or sound as severe as yours. He said he swims a couple times a week to avoid and prevent future RC injuries. RC is usually the result of doing something that you don't do often e.g: lifting boxes, cc skiing, etc. He seemed to think that babying it so as not too aggravate the injury was smart and appropriate.
He also said you might have tendinitis. Not surprisingly, he thought you ought to see your primary care physician.
YAY! -- Sorry to be selfish ... I read through Curt's responses hoping that he wouldn't nail it so that I could be first to give you the treatment Isn't humanity awful?
Anyway ...
I had/have the same problem. The pain in my rotator cuff can get pretty intense, and with the 'clicking' I was seriously afraid I had a bone tumor or something.
I happened to mention it to a co-worker -- with insurance, who actually gets to see a doctor -- and he said he'd had the same problem. Doctor's diagnosis/ advice:
A nerve has become pinched in your rotator cuff.
Hold your left arm straight out, fully extended. Then start rotating your arm in a tight circle. In other words, like you're making an "O" in the air with your extended fist.
It honestly astounded me how quickly this works. I have to repeat it as often as necessary (from time to time during a day), but it consistently works.
I also started making "8" with the arm, and that seems to work even quicker.
Let me know how it goes.
Lol, thanks, Pale! The kit I ordered shows just such exercises using a system of weighted balls on a cable which you use to to strengthen the muscles around the injury to compensate for its inability to work correctly. The sample I saw showed someone holding their arm straight out, holding the end of the cable, and making small circles with the ball. Did your injury keep you up at night? I'm not a back sleeper and that's really the only position I can lay. My preferred position is on my left side so that's out because it's my left shoulder. When I lay on my right side, gravity naturally causes my left arm to fall across my body which is so painful. Ugh. I refuse to take pain pills which is what every one of my friends has offered me! Your input has given me more confidence this kit might do the trick for me. Thanks for your concern, My Friend! I hope you are doing well, btw. Miss you around here.
I had an injury similar to Sam's in both arms. I'm not sure what caused the problem in my left shoulder. Ironically, I think the most likely explanation is that it was caused by an exercise I occasionally do to loosen up my shoulders where I raise both arms fully extended straight up over my head like I'm reaching for something that's just out of reach. When I do this exercise, my shoulder and neck joints crack like when you crack your knuckles. It feels great. But I think one time I overdid it. Anyhow, there were certain motions I couldn't perform without intense upper arm and shoulder pain, like when you get into your car and reach for the door handle to close the door. The pain lasted about a year and a half until it gradually got better.
Then within a year, I sustained a similar injury to my right shoulder. This time, I knew exactly what caused it. In April '08, I tripped over uneven pavement while jogging and used by right arm to brace myself when I fell. Certain movements would cause excruciating pain; sometimes it felt like an ice pick was being jabbed through my bicep. Often it would come on while I was just sitting motionless. I put up with the pain for about 6 months before I saw my doctor, who sent me to a physical therapist. I have a lousy health care plan; each session cost $50. Because of the cost, I only went to one session, but that's all I really needed because you perform the exercises at home anyway.
Anyhow, she said that I had a frozen shoulder and gave me the following exercise which I was supposed to perform several times every day:
Stand facing a wall, and place your hand against the wall. Then move your hand up the wall until you can't raise your arm anymore without severe pain. A little pain is okay - you want to push your limits some, but not too much. Repeat 10 times.
I didn't do the exercise nearly as much as I was supposed to, but my arm gradually returned to normal about a year and a half later.
You guys are giving me great hope that I can handle this injury on my own. The stress of trying to decide whether or not to spend thousands of dollars on diagnostics, etc. is gone! Thank you so much, PttP, for sharing. The car door thing! Precisely one of my limitations. Once while driving I forgot and when a pack of bikers rode by, I stuck my arm out the window to flash the peace sign and the wind caught my arm causing pain so intense that I immediately felt sick to my stomach and got dizzy like I would pass out. Fortunately I didn't as I was going 70 mph down the highway but I did cry!! Lol! I will start those exercises immediately. Thanks again, Everyone!
Glad to help, Sam. The bad news is that you probably have about another year until your arm is back to normal. The good news is that it will get better, even though sometimes it seems like it's never gonna get better. So hang in there, girl.
Your story about flashing the peace sign reminds me of countless incidents when I forgot about my shoulder problem and tweaked it. Once I was at the grocery store and accidentally knocked something off a shelf and instinctively reached to catch it. The resulting pain just about brought me to my knees. Being that I'm right-handed, those kinds of incidents happened frequently with my right shoulder injury.
As Mick Jagger sang, "What a drag it is getting old".

Sam, you have my deepest sympathy. I have the same problem (right shoulder) and I can't describe the pain when I move my arm the wrong way. My wife often tells me I moan all night long and I tell her I wasn't moaning I was moving my arm trying to briing it down from the pillow and I was owwwwwwing in the process. I sleep with my arm curled under my pillow until I can no longer take the pain.
I have insurance but am too big a baby to get the operation. I hear it's very painful.
Don, Once I learned from compadres here that I probably would not be re-injuring myself if I exercise my shoulder, I started using this system to self-treat and I have to say after the past month or so that I feel a vast improvement. I'm doing the same exercises for my other shoulder as well so as to strengthen the musculature to prevent future injury. The brace I wore at night took a bit of getting used to but truly alleviated my pain almost completely. I had been suffering excruciating pain for months and losing sleep before I started this system. I know, I sound like a commercial. Anyway, good luck! [www.rotatoreliever.com]

Modular Restroom Facilities
LAGRANGE, Ky. — Hunter Knepshield offers modular restroom facilities that are pre-manufactured for economy and ease of installation. The buildings are pre-plumbed, pre-wired and shipped ready for placement. Interiors are designed for low maintenance, including wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling reinforced fiberglass for easy wash-down, the company says. A variety of plumbing choices, including composting, chemical and flush toilets are available to match on-site resources. For more information, call (800) 626-6530 or go to www.hunterstrail.com.
Road Sealant
NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. — Transpo Industries offers Sealate T-70MX30, a specially-formulated, high molecular weight methacrylate (HMWM) resin system for sealing concrete cracks. The low viscosity of the product allows it to penetrate deep into fine cracks by gravity alone, and then seal them, the company says. Once the material has cured, the high-bond strength heals the cracks and restores the concrete strength to reduce crack propagation. The rapid cure assures minimal down time, and the sealing and healing of the concrete cracks will extend the service life of the structure at a minimal cost, the company adds.
ADA-Compliant Marina Ramp
KEYSTONE HEIGHTS, Fla. — REDD Team Mfg., a division of Alcoa Engineered Products, introduces the ADA-compliant Ramp Rider, an aluminum gangway with a passenger lift system. It provides people of varying disabilities a means to move safely between different elevations in marine environments. The product has a self-leveling, all-wheel-drive battery-powered car that travels on a specialized gangway to provide access to floating docks and marinas. The design of the rail system and vehicle ensures that the vehicle and passenger always remain horizontal, regardless of the angle of the rails, the company says. The system is available in a variety of sizes to suit almost any water fluctuation, the company adds. For more information, call (800) 648-3696, or go to www.reddteam.com.
Snow Plows
MINNEAPOLIS — Snow Wolf offers the Snow Wolf Pro Series. The series has a floating blade that allows putting the vehicle weight onto the blade to increase the scraping ability to clean compacted snow and ice, the company says. The chain typically used to lift floating blades has been replaced on this plow with a solid steel link and an industrial compression spring. The link and spring prevents the plow from raising over center and contacting the operator's cab when adding snow onto a pile. When needed, the operator can apply down pressure on the blade to scrape the surface by compressing the spring. The company says the spring eliminates maintenance of loose or broken chains. The blade is also angled to scoop and roll snow, rather than push it. The plows are for 20 hp compact utility tractors and smaller skid steers and come in four widths — 5′, 6′, 7′ and 8′. For more information, call (800) 905-2265.

In light of the Far East Night the teens held two weeks ago (yes, this is a bit belated, alas), I wanted to include a book recommendation for "Across the Nightingale Floor" by Lian Hearn for readers interested in Japan, ninjas, romance, and a little bit of magic. Even better, it's the first book in the series!
The youth Takeo has been brought up in a remote mountain village among the Hidden, a reclusive and spiritual people who have taught him only the ways of peace. But unbeknownst to him, his father was a celebrated assassin and a member of the Tribe, an ancient network of families with extraordinary, preternatural skills. When Takeo's village is pillaged, he is rescued and adopted by the mysterious Lord Otori Shigeru. Under the tutelage of Shigeru, he learns that he too possesses the skills of the Tribe. And, with this knowledge, he embarks on a journey that will lead him across the famed nightingale floor*—and to his own unimaginable destiny…
While the story doesn't exactly take place in Japan, and there are definitely some fudges with Japanese history, it is an interesting take on medieval Japan – a historical fantasy, if you will. It's a lot of fun and very good for reluctant readers with its mix of action and suspense.

Great. Thanks a lot.
Finally! Thanks.
Hi Joe,
It sounds like you want multiple lines on a single plot instead of several subplots. There are many variations like this and I don't know how to deal with them without adding loads of parameters or creating several new functions.
I think you can work around it as follows. Run shadedTimeSeries(x,y1,indicator) first. This will give you a single plot with the coloured bars. Then 'hold all'. Then plot(x,y2); plot(x,y3)... This will overlay your other plots on top. Unfortunately, the height of the bars is based on the values of y1, so you have to make sure that y1 goes above and below the other variables.
Feel free to tweak the script for your own purposes. I think you just need to call the internal plot_partial() function with multiple columns in ydata.
-- Carl
Nice demo. Thanks. However, I'm struggling to make the algorithm work with a rectangular map due to the fact that the order of the x and y axes depends on whether we're talking about image coordinates or matrix indexes. Terribly confusing.
I'm surprised this hasn't got more good ratings and comments.
May I suggest you also copy the LineWidth and MarkerSize properties from the original plot to the markers. Currently you only copy the LineStyle and Color. Even if there are no markers in the original plot the MarkerSize property can still be set.
Hi Carl,
thanks a lot for this script and the examples. It's totally what I needed.
But how could I manage to put shade in a plot which contains several different lines of data.
Example: One contains the data:
hold on;
-->now I'd like to use your shadedTimeSeries function within this single plot
Is this possible?
cheers Joe
I uploaded a new version which allows you run this function with only one column of data to populate your own subplots (instead of creating a new figure). Not sure if that's what Kuo-Hsien was requesting. See the examples in the documentation to see how this works.
Thanks for the feedback. Not sure what you mean about subplots.
If you just want to display the part of the legend that shows the shaded colour then you can add legend('Interesting bit'); after this function. I feel that anything more sophisticated will be difficult to generalise and may be quite specific to your particular problem. It might be easier if you tweak the function yourself.
Hi Carl, this is a useful function. How to show the box for subplots and legend? thx.
