If you are having multiple Google or Gmail accounts, then you need to either sign out of one account to use another or use a different browser. But at the same time Google has introduced a feature called Multiple Sign In some time back in 2010. Multiple Sign in as the name suggests, Google allows users to sign into multiple accounts at the same time from a single browser and you can easily switch between the accounts without having to log out and login back.
If you want to use multiple sign in, then first you will have to enable multiple sign-in from here – https://www.google.com/accounts/b/0/MultipleSessions. This needs to be enabled for your default account, you can even enable directly from Gmail by adding a new account. If you are signed in to multiple accounts, entering http://mail.google.com or http://www.gmail.com in your browser will automatically sign you in to your default account.
To add another account, click on the email address or your image on the top right corner of your Gmail account and select Switch account.
In the next step, you can see option to Sign in to another account. When you select this option, your default account needs to have multiple sign in enabled. If not enabled, it will prompt you to enable.
What is the advantage of Enabling Multiple Sign In?
If you have enabled multiple sign in, then you can bookmark the URLs of each of the accounts and quickly log in to your added Gmail accounts easily. Another important feature of multiple sign in is that Google apps accounts are also supported, this means, you can sign into your domain email account and your regular email account in one browser. Google has recently made single sign on for all Google accounts as well as Google apps account.
Multiple Sign in is supported on Calendar, Code, Finance, Gmail, Google Moderator Google+, iGoogle, News, Reader, Sites and Voice.

Fair enough
I believe my name is Welsh but I have an extra issue with my name in that my Surname is James so the 2 often get reversed and people call me James Leighton.
I am not Welsh and neither are my parents so I'm not 100% sure how the name came about.
My mum always taught me how to say Welsh names when I was younger, but when i first saw torchwood my first thought was "they actually say his name right!"
I can see where she is coming from, but I think she is in a bit of a bubble. You don't want to shelter your kids too much.
My friend Geraint pronounces it Gehr -eynt
Ieuan is either Yayan or Yyan - I know one of each. DEFINITELY NOT EWAN
Iestyn is indeed Yestin. Nothing to do with Justin
I did think of calling my son Ianto or the family name, Maldwyn (could be Mal-dwyn or Maul-dwyn) but I wasn't allowed those either
*I called him Rhys - which caused problems for him when he was little as you can't sound it out!
My first child will be call Ffion if its a girl, i've always liked it as a name, it means foxglove in Welsh....but im guessing the double F will confuse alot of people, even though its still a regular f sound.
Not decided on a boys name yet, but his 2nd name will be William after my Great-Grandad who recently passed away, but he survived being a Japanese POW in Burma...and he still hated the French more than the Japanese in his words "The Japanese were evil sadistic monsters, but at least they didn't run away and hide like the French did"
On the subject of names, I'm hoping the Duchess of Cambridge will have a baby girl and that she will call her Princess Alexandra - such a famous use of the name is bound to help educate people. Giving thought to putting a flutter on at the bookies.
Im guessing that people saying Alexandria rather than Alexandra is your annoyance then?

TORRINGTON — A downtown building will be part of a statewide effort to encourage mixed-use properties and downtown living.
The building at 11-21 Main St., owned by Torrington Downtown Partners, was selected Wednesday by a Connecticut Main Street Center pilot program that seeks to boost downtown residential development at vacant historic properties.

2013 Ford Shelby GT500 is Most Powerful Production V8 in the World!
by Patrick Rall
Ford Motor Company announced today the specifications on the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 and after much speculation, we know that the new super muscle car is really (and we mean really) powered by a new supercharged 5.8L V8 making 650 horsepower - making it the most powerful production V8 engine in the world.
After the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was introduced with 580 horsepower, everyone expected to see the Shelby GT500 Mustang get a jump in power to the 600 horsepower range, but rather than just barely besting the Camaro ZL1, Ford went big, with 650hp and 600lb-ft of torque. This means that the 2013 GT500 packs more of a punch than even the Corvette ZR1 and the previous Dodge Viper.
Unlike the 2013 Ford Mustang V6, GT or Boss 302 which received a fair exterior refresh, the 2013 Shelby GT500 retains the look of the 2012 models, although Ford did make some subtle changes to improve the aerodynamics of the new super muscle car, allowing it to go 200 miles per hour in stock form! A revised front fascia works in conjunction with front and rear splitters to create 33% better aero load at 160mph than the currently available GT500.
While the improvements made on the outside of the 2013 Shelby GT500 help it to reach incredible top speeds, the the big news is big power. Big, big power. Almost every part of the drivetrain has been refined or replaced for 2013, and that starts with the new 5.8L V8. The new V8 features a cross drilled engine block and cylinder heads to handle the boost supplied by the new TVS Series 2300 supercharger, while new camshafts help this new engine to breathe. A revised cooling system with a larger radiator, a larger cooling fan and an improved front mount intercooler help to keep this engine running smoothly while producing 650 horsepower and 600lb-ft of torque.
Next, helping the 2013 Shelby GT500 get all of this power to the wheels safely and efficiently is a revised 6-speed manual transmission fitted with a new clutch, which all channels the power through a new carbon fiber driveshaft and back to the 3.31 rear differential. 20" rear wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar G:2 tires help the GT500 get traction while 19" rims up front with the same times help get it through the turns. Further helping the 2013 GT500 to corner as hard as it launches is a revised suspension system with traction and stability control, while a massive Brembo brake package helps get the high performance pony car stopped.
The 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 comes with two high performance packages - the SVT Performance Package and the Track Package upgrade. The Performance package returns from last year with Bilstein electronically controlled shocks with multiple modes for optimal ride quality and handling. For those who want a little punch, the 2013 GT500 can add on the Track package, which adds an external engine oil cooler, rear differential cooler, and transmission cooler - all of which allow the car to stand up to the abuse of lengthy track days.
Or to hear all the fervor or to add some of your own, head over to the Forums!

Help ~~~ I Hate Our New Computer
Posted 09 August 2008 - 03:06 PM
I wanted a bigger monitor.
We needed a new computer for the boys to use as they are getting older and are using computers more for school.
So my DH goes to sam's a gets a great "deal" on a computer cuz it was the display one.
it is a nice computer I suppose. It has a huge 24 inch flat panel monitor. So I get all excited and load photoshop.
well the colors on the screen are horrible. Long story, I google find out this monitor is KNOWN to have this issue. I try to calibrate it and get it so I can at least look at it without getting a headache. It is not going to work very well for scrapping.....
Then I remember it was for the KIDS LOL.
So I download a free program that I have heard lots of great things about that teaches kids how to do computer programing.
It's called Alice. I'm sure some of you have heard of it. One of the colleges out here even uses it in a computer class.
So that's when my problems started.
My DH uses vista at work an said it's fine everyone is complaining for nothing.
well that may be true, but I need help right now.
I downloaded the program in the downloads like vista said too.
I extracted it, then tried to run it.
I got an error message and then nothing.
BUT when I tried to run it again I get amessage saying I am already running alice.
but I'm NOT. it isn't anywhere.
so then I go to the task manager. Nothing no alice.
my computer swears I am stilll running it.
I can't "find" it.
so I thought I got a bad download and tried to delete it.
Nope vista says I don't have "permission" to delete it.
I am logged in as SAM (that is the main one or guest it was already set up this way) but I can't delete it.
so I call a friend who has it and of course it runs perfect on her computer.....
So I download it again to a different location....
I can't run it cuz my computer swears it is running enough through it is not showing up under task manager.
My son was really excited about doing computer animation (finally he as excited about SOMETHING)
so now I am late for work....
have to alice programs on my computer than DON"T work.
and it I can't scrap on this computer and the boys can use it what is the point?
oh and did I mention I lost the receipt?
can someone please help me figure out how to delete this mess?
or how to get my computer to shut it off???????????
Posted 09 August 2008 - 04:53 PM
I had some problems when I was setting it up - some programs wouldn't work. Apparently Vista has a "hidden" admistrator account and you need to log in as this user when installing some programs. There is a DOS command that you have to run to see this Administrator login icon when you first boot up. Ummm, but you know I can't remember it. I'm sure I wrote it down.... I'll just have to find it.... you can try searching on the web for it too if I take too long to get back here... that's how I found it.

I am not sure what to tell you but I was trying to install a program a few days ago and it said Internet Explorer was open. It was not open! So I hit Control+Alt+Delete and clicked on the "Processes" tab, found "Internet Explorer" in there and "Ended Process." It worked! Maybe that will help you end Alice. Good luck!

In economics, the focus is on the early childhood environment can affect longer-term human capital accumulation. This work has been spurred by the realization that early life conditions can have persistent and profound impacts later on in life. For example, family background and individual education are important factors in determining a young person's transition to the labor market or his/her involvement in criminal gangs and other detrimental behavior.

After some searching, you manage to find Dr. Awkward, skulking in the shadows of the Palindome and fondling the Staff of Fats in a particularly creepy manner. "Hey, you!" you shout. "That fight we had? Yeah, I'm calling a do-over. Get out your best silver platter, 'cause I'm about to serve you your ass on it."
Dr. Awkward sneers and draws his sword. "Go deliver a dare, vile dog."
The Mega Gem glows brightly as you charge at your opponent, shouting your battlecry:
You don't know much about this evil little bald man wearing wire-rimmed spectacles and a black trench coat*, other than the fact that he's stolen the Staff of Fats for some nefarious purpose. You figure that's plenty enough reason to beat the hell out of him. Heck, just the fact that he's evil would be reason enough, right?
*Some people claim he's wearing a white trench coat, but their testimony is unreliable.
Hit Message(s):
Dr. Awkward sneers evilly as you stumble directly into the path of his attack.Ooh! Eek! Ugh! Ow!
He pokes you several times with the pointy end of his sword
Argh! Ouch!
He ruthelessly beats you down, laughing. "Stab, mow, knife -- ye fink wombats!" he says, whatever that means. Eek!
He growls angrily as you dodge his attack. "Damn a madness! Send a man mad!"
He pokes at you with his sword, but you dodge in a way that's too exciting for me to describe.
Dr. Awkward whips his rapier at you, but you fortuitously stumble out of the way. "Drat such custard!" he shouts, inexplicably.
Dr. Awkward pulls out a small first-aid kit, and quickly patches himself up a bit.
Occurs in Dr. Awkward's Office with the Mega Gem equipped.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Smit, Hendrik Jacobus Albertus email@example.com URN etd-04092010-170309 Document Title An in-depth study of input tax apportionment methods for value-added tax in South Africa Degree MCom Department Taxation Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof M Cronje Supervisor Keywords
- South Africa
- value-added tax
- South African Revenue Service
Date 2009-09-01 Availability unrestricted Abstract
The general mindset of most vendors is that if they have a valid tax invoice, they can claim all their input VAT. They are, however, not aware of the requirements of section 17(1) of the Value-Added Tax Act. Section 17(1) explains that vendors cannot claim all their input tax if their expense relates to both taxable and non-taxable supplies and that, consequently, input tax need to be apportioned in some or other way.
There are several methods of apportionment available to vendors of which the turnover-based method is the only approved method by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) for which no ruling is necessary. This study investigates the most common methods used by vendors, how these methods function and also under which circumstances these methods are recommended.
The sectors that are influenced the most by this provision in the Value-Added Tax Act are banks, universities and municipalities. These sectors have large amounts of exempt supplies but also taxable supplies with expenses incurred that cannot be allocated specifically to a certain income. Therefore, a method of apportionment should be used to allocate the input VAT. Information was obtained through financial reports and questionnaires from 29 entities in South Africa. The information was used to calculate an average percentage of apportionment in each sector and also to establish which method of apportionment is the most commonly used method of apportionment in each sector. The conclusion was drawn that there might, under certain circumstances, be uncertainty on whether some income should be included or excluded in the apportionment calculation. Under these circumstances, it is recommended that a ruling should be obtained from SARS to avoid problems in the future.

Top 5 All-Inclusive Luxury Cruisescruise up a notch by tossing cost to the wind and booking with an ultra-luxury cruise line, where standards like airfare, meals and drinks are not only included, but come in the form of business-class flights, haute French cuisine from award-winning chefs and premium liquors and wines. For the well-heeled traveler, a standard all-inclusive cruise barely meets basic needs, but on a luxury liner -- where the guest-to-staff ratio is nearly 1-to-1 -- all-inclusive might feature exotic on-shore excursions, like elephant treks in a Thai jungle, or high-end fitness classes such as tai chi, and special Champagne and caviar beach parties. Here, we've selected the world's finest all-inclusive cruises.
Crystal CruisesLuxury cruise provider Crystal Cruises began offering all-inclusive packages to customers as recently as spring 2012, joining the ranks of other popular cruise lines with similar deals. Both the Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony ships offer deals to guests that include many expected all-inclusive amenities: round-trip airfare, dining in the ships' restaurants, complimentary wines and spirits (though premium brands are excluded), non-alcoholic beverages and all gratuities for housekeeping, dining and staff.
The packages also include a number of specialty perks, such as fitness classes, golf lessons with PGA pros and shuttles into port towns. Avid learners can also take advantage of onboard enrichment classes and entertainment (like the Crystal Visions lecture series featuring authors and celebrities), computer science classes, art classes and a film series. Guests staying in the ultra-luxe penthouse suites are also privy to a personal butler, as well as packing and unpacking services -- all tips included!

A "Pension Promise" sign is seen as Illinois state union members and supporters rally in support for fair pension reform in the rotundra at the Illinois State Capitol Thursday, Jan. 3, 2013 in Springfield Ill. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman)
Updated: February 5, 2013 6:22AM
Crises always are looming in the state Capitol. But this is different: The state's financial bleeding is so bad it's become Illinois' biggest crisis in a lifetime. Yet with only five days left in the so-called lame-duck legislative session, nothing has happened.
That won't do.
Almost a year ago, we were hearing that reforms to put the state on a solid fiscal track would be in place by the end of the session in May. When that didn't happen, we were told to wait for the veto session in the fall. In the fall, we were told something would happen in January. But now that January has rolled around, we're starting to hear that maybe we can wait until May again.
We can't.
Illinois has to find a way to match its revenues with its expenditures.
Illinois' $95 billion pension debt is crowding out spending for almost everything else, including education, health care and human services. The state has $8 billion in unpaid bills.
On Thursday, some civic groups tried to revive lawmakers' interest in the pension crisis, urging them not to be distracted by other top issues, such as gun safety and gay marriage.
But now it's starting to look like time may run out with no significant action on any of those issues, although gay marriage did pass out of committee Thursday.
It's a thorny problem. The state Constitution prohibits the diminishment of benefits, so any measure that cuts pensions will end up in court. The bill favored by the civic groups that rallied Thursday doesn't appear to meet the constitutional test, although it does include thoughtful ideas we'd like to see in whatever bill finally goes to the governor.
But just because there's no simple fix is no reason to delay. The Legislature needs to roll up its sleeves and act.

The Fountains of Wayne guys have plenty of stories about their major-label days, but none encapsulates eight years of curious luck better than the motorcycle-gang incident.
This was back in '96, when the group was riding the success of ''Radiation Vibe,'' an alarmingly catchy, chorus-saturated sing-along that had taken off on MTV. Hoping to goose the band's momentum, Atlantic Records asked them to go on the stump for their new single, the problematically titled ''Leave the Biker.''
''We had an idea to go to radio stations with a bunch of bikers,'' remembers bassist Adam Schlesinger. ''We went to Hogs & Heifers and rounded them up. What we didn't realize is that we'd enlisted opposing camps who hated each other -- 20 bikers, two rival gangs. We had to get out of there.'' The promotional tour was scrapped, and ''Leave the Biker'' fell off radio's radar.
Schlesinger, 35, and his longtime songwriting partner, vocalist Chris Collingwood, 35, tell this mini-Altamont tale from Chelsea's Stratosphere Sound, the studio Schlesinger co-owns with ex-Smashing Pumpkin James Iha. It's summer 2002, and though the pair have assembled to record material for their third album, Welcome Interstate Managers, there's no urgency. In part because their 120 Minutes of fame ran out in the late '90s, Fountains of Wayne -- which also includes drummer Brian Young and guitarist Jody Porter, both 33 -- are working without a deal. It's the kind of mid-career flux now commonplace in a struggling industry, with its shrinking bottom lines and rosters, but the Fountains' record-collecting, power-pop-adoring fans (guys who ''live in Hoboken and run record shops,'' as Collingwood describes them) don't want to hear about corporate trends. Talk to FOW admirers and you'll hear the same question again and again: Why isn't this band famous yet?
''Who's to say?'' answers Iha. ''Maybe they haven't fit into the trends of the time. They'll have their fans, regardless. They're making their own cottage industry.''
To understand why anyone would obsess over alt-rock castaways, you might take a trip to Queens or, specifically, the suburban wonderland illuminated on Fountains of Wayne's neglected 1999 album, Utopia Parkway. On its 14 songs, the outskirts of New York -- including Coney Island and the Jersey shore -- are portrayed as a Shangri-la teeming with wistful prom attendees, tattoo-seeking .38 Special fans, and a knee-weakening Liberty Travel agent named Denise. The people are instantly recognizable, and thanks to a brew of pop influences (the Kinks, the Cars, the Beach Boys), the hooks instantly memorable.
''The songs are character studies,'' says Steve Yegelwel, the former Atlantic A&R rep who signed the band to its first deal. ''They're not necessarily the most flattering portraits, but...there's sympathy there.''
Yegelwel first heard the Fountains under ideal circumstances: driving around on a warm afternoon in '96, windows down and the band's four-song demo blaring. By then Schlesinger and Collingwood had been writing together for years, having teamed up at Massachusetts' Williams College in the late '80s. Collingwood, a native of Bucks County, Pa., was into British art-pop like the Smiths'; Schlesinger, from Montclair, N.J. (the band got their name from a fountain and lawn-ornament shop in Wayne, N.J., not far from there), favored the big-chorus bravado of U2. But they proved to be an effective partnership, spending hours hanging out, jotting song names on bar napkins and challenging each other to write a song around them.

CHICAGO – The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation today announced the recipients of the 2014 Champions for Healthy Kids grants, provided through an educational grant from the General Mills Foundation. To support grassroots programs promoting healthful eating and active lifestyles targeted to kids and families, 50 nonprofit organizations from 27 states each were awarded $20,000.
For the past 11 years, the General Mills Foundation has annually provided $500,000 for Champions for Healthy Kids Grants. This year, the General Mills Foundation doubled its commitment to this program to $1 million, awarding fifty $20,000 grants.
To view the 50 Champions for Healthy Kids recipients and a description of their programs, visit www.eatright.org/foundation/championgrants.
"We commend the General Mills Foundation for recognizing the value of these locally based programs that draw on the expertise of registered dietitian nutritionists and dietetic technicians, registered in helping children get and stay healthy," said registered dietitian nutritionist and Academy Foundation Chair Terri Raymond. "Programs funded by Champions grants are an integral part of moving the needle forward on the health of our nation's children."
Champions for Healthy Kids grants support nonprofit organizations to implement new or expanded programs that encourage good nutrition and physical activity for kids and their families. All programs must utilize the expertise of a registered dietitian nutritionist or dietetic technician, registered member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
All registered dietitians are nutritionists – but not all nutritionists are registered dietitians. The Academy's Board of Directors and Commission on Dietetic Registration have determined that those who hold the credential registered dietitian (RD) may optionally use "registered dietitian nutritionist" (RDN) instead. The two credentials have identical meanings.

Free Diving versus Snorkeling
What is free diving? According to Wiki, it is an aquatic activity where a practitioner holds his/her breath while diving underwater. Compared to snorkeling, the practitioner doesn't just swim on the surface of the water, but rather goes deep down as far as he/she could go.
typical snorkeling with vests on
It is one of the sports I am an enthusiast of. I scoured over the internet for various tips and look for a local free dive training here in Cebu but I couldn't find one. I meant free as in you won't pay for it. Hehehe. So far from what I've learned and researched, you need to relax both your body and mind. You need to practice slow breathing and tolerance of carbon dioxide, as well as how to balance the pressure that will build up once you go down deep. Specifically, you need to be calm and relaxed through slow breathing and emptying your mind of anything. Much like Zen. The aim is to lower your heart rate and thus lower the fast burning of oxygen and accumulation of carbon dioxide. I wish I could get the specifics and procedures through a free dive training.
free diving and going after the SCUBA divers
With these techniques, my holding of breath improved, from a twenty second dive in Balicasag to almost a minute dive in Pescador island. It is the pressure I can't handle though, no matter how many minutes I practice equalizing techniques prior to the dive. Coupled with snorkeling, free diving gives you the maximum underwater pleasure ever. Not only do you get to watch fishes as they swim past by, but might give you the chance to swim along with them.

I can never learn how to use those snorkeling gears to save my life. So whenever I do snorkel, I always end-up having to hold my breath until I can. I guess I've been doing free diving and I didn't even know it! Nice post!
Lakbay, I love the beach but im really scared of deep water. I dont know how to swim, never learn how to swim , snorkel or dive. It looks entertaining. i have that kind of fear of some sort I dont know its weird but i just feel like im gonna be drowned . Fear fear fear …
haaay. i hope i could learn how to dive na. my last attempt at learning was a big FAIL! lol
i only tried diving once in coron… i didn't like it. i was too scared and too concentrated on breathing that i didn't remember what i saw underwater. haha!
wooow! i got to try free diving in Balicasag too! it was one of the best experience i have had so far. ang saraaap ng feeling after. nasira pa slippers ko pabalik sa surface dahil siguro sa tubig. hehehe
Me too!! I'm not an amphibian like you and i cannot use snorkeling equipment to save my life either…
I enjoy the mountains moreso than the beach anyway. Since i don't have that bikini-friendly body
Ganahan sad kaayo ko makat-on ug free dive! kutob ra pud ko snorkel. Mu panic naman gud ko for air inig abot na nako sa ubos. Haha! Naay free diving competition sa moalboal summer next year. Praktisi na taman Dwin! XD

Ganda ng pictures! Amazing! Kung hindi lang ako takot sa mga isda.. :O
I know the basics, but i'm still have to relax my mind from everything. Basics for me is in the first grade. Actual, hmmm, not yet experience. But still not too late for me to learn more about free diving.:-).
my ears hurt everytime i go deeper than 6 ft. i guess diving is not for me. magsubmarine na lang ko.
Wow, those are amazing underwater photos. I have never tried diving or snorkeling but I really would love to experience it. Thanks for sharing.

The Fundamentals of the Back Squat
The Back Squat has often been referred to as "the King of Exercises" because it uses a great deal of the body's musculature and is therefore very efficient in making you bigger and stronger. Really, squats are a full body exercise, though most people will view them as a leg exercise due to the demands placed on the quads, hamstrings & glutes.
While squatting is a very natural maneuver, there are a few points that need to be covered to ensure that you're doing them safely and effectively. This post is a quick guide to the basics of back squatting.
Safety & Equipment
Back Squats are an extremely effective exercise, and ought to be a part of nearly everyone's workout routine - no matter whether your goals are strength, size, or just general fitness. However, you're going to be moving more weight in this exercise than most others you will do, so care must be taken to use the right equipment, and do them safely. At a fundamental level the only equipment you really need to be concerned with (short of a barbell and weights) are your shoes and your squat rack.
Shoes: Squats move a lot of weight. Not only the weight on the bar, but also your own body weight. Therefore, you need a shoe with a relatively stable, incompressible sole. Your best bets are Chuck Taylor All-Stars (or a similar old-school canvas shoe), an indoor soccer shoe like Adidas Sambas, an Olympic lifting shoe (Do-Wins, etc.), or just go barefoot. Using a running shoe or something with too much padding and compressibility in the sole will be unstable when using a lot of weight.
Squat Rack: Personally, I recommend using a full, 4-sided power rack for squats since you have full-length safety bars (which should always be used, and set to catch the bar just below the bottom point of your squat). Dedicated squat racks are okay too, but you'll need to assess whether the rack and its safeties will be adequate. I would not recommend squatting just using "squat stands", since there are no safeties (though you can usually just dump the bar), and racking the bar is more difficult. As for jury-rigged home setups...well, it's your funeral. In any event, "plan for the worst" and you won't end up a statistic.
Belts, Wraps, etc. By the time you need these, you won't need to read this thread to tell you whether you need them. If you want to use them, do your research and decide for yourself. But be aware that belts do not protect you against injuries if your form is not good in the first place. It's a lifting aid, not a band-aid.
High Bar, Low Bar, & the Setup
Without getting into a dissertation on the intricacies of the bar position, just be aware that there are generally two different positions on your back to place the bar. In both cases, the bar rests on the trapezius muscles, and not your spine.
- High Bar: In this position the bar is placed on the traps, higher up toward the neck (see center image below). This will tend to give you a more upright back position, and (along with a little narrower stance) place a little more emphasis on the quads.
- Low Bar: In this position the bar is again placed on your traps, but lower down so that it's resting across both your traps and your delts (image on the right). This will tend to give you more upper body lean, but also (with a little wider stance) emphasize the hamstrings and glues a bit more.
- Grip: Regardless of bar position, as you take your position under it, bring your hands in toward your body and pull your shoulder blades toward your spine. This will bulge your traps outward to give you a "shelf" or "cushion" on which to rest the bar. The bar should not be resting on your neck, or your spine.
- Rack: The bar should be set in the rack, at about mid-chest level. The safeties should be set to catch the bar just below the bottom level of your squat. If you get in trouble, you can just set it down.
Squatting, Step-by-Step:
So, you've got your Chuck Taylor's on, your rack set up, a pre-workout drink in your system, and some fire in your belly. Now what? Well, gym rats, now you squat. But let's do it right:
1. Step up to the bar, duck under, bring your chest up and your hands inward until the bar is positioned properly on your traps (make sure you're centered). Pull the bar into your body with your hands (elbows back) and tighten your upper body. Your wrists should be straight, and a thumbless grip is okay here if you prefer. Your lower back should be arched inward to maintain a natural curvature. This lower back position must be maintained throughout the squat! Allowing the back to curve outward, or "round", transfers the force of the lift from your muscles to your spine and could cause a disc injury.
2. Focus on a point on the floor about 10 feet in front of you (don't look upward or at your feet). With your body tight, take a breath, and then squat the bar out of the rack.
3. Keeping your body tight, take 2-3 steps backward and position yourself for the squat. You can use whatever stance is comfortable for you, but generally speaking your feet should be about shoulder width apart, toes pointed slightly outward (so that your knees will travel in the direction of your toes when you squat). Note: do not allow your body to "loosen up" as you arrange yourself. You should practice the walk out so that you're able to do it in 2-3 steps and without needing to look down at your feet.
4. Now the good part: Keeping your chest high and body tight, weight centered over the midfoot, take a breath, hold it, tighten your abs, and begin the squat by pushing your hips backward. Imagine you're sitting back onto the toilet. Your knees will naturally bend and your body lean forward to compensate. Squat all the way down (more on depth later) in a controlled manner (don't just drop).
5. To return upright, drive your hips and shoulders upward in a smooth, controlled motion. Either continue to hold your breath or allow air to escape slowly through clenched teeth (this keeps your core tight). Think about pushing your feet outward and "spreading the floor" to keep your knees from buckling and engage your musculature. While the weight should always remain mid-foot, you should feel like you're driving the weight through your heels, and not tipping forward on your toes.
6. Back at the top, exhale (but keep tight), and breathe as necessary before repeating steps 4 & 5 to your heart's content.
7. When you're finished with your repetitions, take a couple steps forward and rack the bar. After you've ensured the bar is on the pins, step out from under.
And that's the gist of it.
A Few Other Points:
The Lower Back: As I mentioned above, it's critical to maintain an inward (or at least flat) curvature to your lower back. Do not allow it to round outward. If this happens, you need to drop the weight and work on your form until your lower back is strong enough to maintain that arch throughout the entire squat. Ego lifting and ignoring this point is asking for some big trouble.
Squat Depth: A "proper" squat depth is to descend until your hip joint is at or below the top of your knee (a "parallel" squat). If your flexibility allows, you can squat deeper, until your hamstrings bottom out on your calves (an "ATG" squat). Anything at or below parallel is fine, though you should note that squatting below what your flexibility allows will cause your butt to "tuck" under and round your lower back. The better part of valor here is to stop your depth at the point just before "butt tuck" occurs and work on your flexibility first if you want to squat deeper.
Weight: Since the goal is to be able to squat well, and for life, don't be in a hurry to continually toss more weight on the bar. Squats take some practice to get right, and better to make mistakes with light weight than with something you can barely handle.
Squat Variations: Though this post is on the back squat, be aware that there are different versions - Front Squats, Hacks, Zercher, Jefferson, etc. Each is simply a tool to be used when it best serves your goals.
If you follow the points above, and work your way upward with reasonable weight increases, you shouldn't have a lot of trouble. If you get into trouble with any point of your form, the best rule is generally to drop the weight, reset, and remember the basics.
The "Squat Rx" series of videos (the first one is below) are good reference material, as are the "So You Think You Can Squat" ones (also below). If all that doesn't help you, then take a video of your form and create a thread asking for tips or advice.
Good luck, and SQUAT SAFE!!

Space Applications
The major goals of this project are (1) to develop and test near-infrared brain imaging techniques for use in identifying conditions associated with poor adaptation to the spaceflight environment, including sleep deprivation, thereby providing the first measure and/or countermeasure platform for central nervous system problems during spaceflight, and (2) to develop an intelligent system for autonomous multi-sensor integration and interpretation.
Extreme headaches are a relatively common occurrence during spaceflight, but there is presently no available way to evaluate whether the pain is a simple headache or might be related to the more serious condition of altered intracranial pressure. In this project, we are applying a spaceflight-adaptable technology (near-infrared imaging) to the non-invasive detection of hemodynamic sequelae to intracranial pressure increases.

Serial shoplifter back stealing days after being released from prison
Posted: November 20, 2012|
SERIAL shoplifter Claire Wilson – branded a "one-woman crime wave" – has been jailed after reverting to crime just days after being released from prison and given a chance.
She had been given an antisocial behaviour order in December because of her prolific thieving but she has now been locked up yet again.
Wilson, 39, of Redbourne Road, Grimsby, admitted two offences of theft and one of attempted theft.
David Gordon, prosecuting, told Grimsby Crown Court that Wilson stole goalkeepers' shirts, away strips, shorts and replica strips, valued at £319, belonging to Grimsby Town Football Club, on October 18 and put them in a bag.

She also put two Grimsby Town rain jackets over her arm and left but was identified from closed circuit television pictures following an article in the Grimsby Telegraph.
She also stole toiletries from a Lincoln Co-operative store in Grimsby Road, Cleethorpes, on October 19 and put them in her handbag. She also attempted to steal a bottle of whisky from Pennys in Grimsby Road, Cleethorpes, on October 24.
She had convictions for 214 offences, including 137 for theft, and had been given an Antisocial behaviour order (Asbo) in December last year.
She had been given a one-year supervision order at the same court on October 12 for theft offences.
Recorder Jonathan Bennett told Wilson: "People have bent over backwards to avoid sending you to prison.
"I have no choice because you have had so many opportunities."
Wilson was jailed for six months.
Simon Hirst, mitigating, said Wilson had been in custody for 16 days and, before her earlier appearance, had spent another 117 days in custody.
After she was previously released, there were problems immediately because Wilson could not obtain a benefit crisis loan.
She went to the Salvation Army hostel but, because she did not have the necessary £31 fee, she spent that night living on the streets and committed the offences to raise some money.
"She considers herself institutionalised and feels safest when she is in custody," said Mr Hirst.
"She has been in custody a lot. It hasn't had the effect of stopping her committing offending when she is at large."
As reported, when the Asbo was made at Grimsby Magistrates' Court, Police Community Support Officer Simon Saxby, who works in the town centre, said: "Claire Wilson is a one-woman crime wave.
"The Asbo should mean that the number of shoplifting offences goes through the floor – she is that prolific."

Utica College hockey players bowl for charity
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - The Utica College Men's Hockey Team made some big waves Saturday night as they beat perennial powerhouse Oswego State for the second time this season.
In addition to their success on the ice, the U.C. players are also pretty good at community relations. On Saturday, the team played host to a bowling event at Pin-o-Rama in Utica, to raise money for the Move-Alongs Sled Hockey program, a program that helps those with medical limitations learn how to play sports.
Caylie Fluharty, the event coordinator for Utica College's Student Council said, "I had a do a confirmation project: The Power of One, where one person's idea can make something big and my teacher's son has Spina bifida and he plays for the sled hockey team."

About Motocross South Africa
MX SA was started in May 2011 by a small group of likeminded
individuals who want to see Motocross restored to the level
it was in the 80's. Taking our inspiration from the work that
has been done by countries around the world to keep the sport
alive, we are dedicated and committed to achieving the same
in South Africa.
MX SA Members: Laren van der Westhuizen,
Noleen Roome & Michelle Smith
Our passion is fuelled by the vision of seeing packed out
venues watching motocross again, seeing those same races broadcast
for each and everyone to watch. Creating a foundation to see
South African motocross riders compete overseas regularly
and gain recognition for it. Using that same foundation to
bring the worlds top riders to come and compete on our shores.
Many different factors have led to the decline of the sport
over the years and a handful of key companies, fraternities
and people have been fighting hard to keep what remains alive.
We stand along side them to help grow that community so that
the doorway for change can be opened.
Rebuilding the sport takes dedication, passion, patience
and perseverance - this is exactly what we are all about.
In 2012 MX SA found it's place in the market and quickly
became a voice in the industry. Our MX web portal exceeded
all expectations and showed us that motocross in South Africa
is not only a live, but most certainly kicking.
In 2013 we took the industry to a new level with active involvement
in regional and national motocross, we also placed much more
focus on rider training and development from a 'grass roots'
level with the launch of our Junior Motocross Academy and
the continued growth of our highly successful female rider
development programme called 'Diamonds and Dirt'.
2014 is an exciting year for MX SA as we have earned our
place in the industry over the years and will be actively
involved in all aspects of the sport around the country.

Wentworth By The Sea Country Club60 Wentworth Road Rye, NH 03870 (603) 433-3050
Wentworth By The Sea Country Club
Indoor Tennis (September 15th - May 15th)
Click here for 2014 Tennis Program Book
Our Indoor Facility
Our beautiful 35,000 sq. ft. indoor Sports Center offers four multi-layered SportMaster-surfaced indoor tennis courts with viewing spots on the mezzanine level. The Sport Center also houses a Fitness Room with cardio machines and weight equipment, as well as a six-bay indoor driving range and putting green. It is one of the newest and the nicest indoor facilities in New England.
Junior Program
Our Wentworth Junior Tennis Program utilizes the 10 and Under Quickstart method which enables kids to learn tennis in a quicker and much more fun atmosphere on the court.
The tennis industry has been using smaller racquets and nets for years but the balls and court size have been too fast and too big for smaller and beginner level children. Quickstart addresses those problems by using a low-compression ball which is slower moving, making it easier for children to hit. The court size is smaller based on age and ability, so no longer will we see a 4 year old hitting on a 78 foot court. They will have their own 36 foot court to play on!
The Quickstart program makes it easier to learn, play and compete in tennis which is FUN!
Contact Kevin at firstname.lastname@example.com to register your junior for one of our programs.
Tennis 101 is available for all members who are just getting started or getting back into tennis. We hope to offer a weekday and Sunday class. Whether you are a total novice, a high school player from yesteryear or a golfer wanting to start, we have a class for you!

Judge Rules in Favor of Stephens' Estate in Case Brought by Mary Anne Shula
Posted 5/13/2010 11:27 am
Updated 2 years ago
A Pulaski County Circuit Court judge ruled on Tuesday that the estate of Jackson T. "Jack" Stephens doesn't have to post a bond to secure annual alimony payments to Stephens' ex-wife, Mary Anne Shula.
Shula, who is married to NFL Hall of Fame Coach Don Shula, divorced Stephens in 1991. As part of the divorce settlement, Stephens agreed to pay his ex-wife $1 million a year for life.
After Stephens' death in 2005, Mary Anne Shula has been in several courtroom fights with her former stepson, Warren A. Stephens, the CEO of Stephens Inc. and co-executive of the estate, over the trust fund that was created to provide her with the alimony payments.
The latest battle stemmed from Stephens asking Pulaski County Circuit Court Judge Ellen Brantley for permission to distribute some jewelry and painting from his father's estate. He also wanted to distribute $41.1 million from the estate, which has $42 million in it, to Jack Stephens' other son, Jackson T. "Steve" Stephens.
Shula objected to the move, fearing that the assets of the estate would be drained.
Court filings show that as of March 31, the trust which was established to pay the alimony had assets of $17.9 million, which included a $15.5 million promissory note from Warren Stephens and $2.4 million in cash or in a money-market fund.
Stephens' attorneys argued in their court filings that the trust has enough money to pay Shula, who is 64, until she reached 102 "well beyond her life expectancy."
Brantley agreed and allowed the estate to make the distributions.
Shula's attorney, Gary Rogers of Little Rock, didn't return a call for comment.

Can-Am says its Atmosphere Control Solutions can create virtually any temperature and/or humidity condition inside a paint booth or drying tunnel, providing the ideal curing conditions for specific coatings/applications.
If a coating requires that atmospheric conditions change during the curing process, the system can radically alter those conditions in short periods of time. It programs a complete recipe for curing the coating, so the process is completely automated and system operation is simplified.
This enables environmentally-friendly water-based coatings to be used without a reduction in throughput; often processing time is improved over solvent-based coatings, the company says.

Las Cruces fire displaces 3 families
Las Cruces, NM (KTSM) — The Las Cruces Fire Department extinguished an early morning fire that damaged three mobile homes, fire officials said.
Firefighters were dispatched just after 2 a.m. Thursday morning to a mobile home fire in the 2800 block of West Picacho Avenue. The first arriving engine crew found two mobile homes involved with fire and smoke, officials said. Firefighters evacuated neighboring homes.
A second alarm was requested from the Battalion Chief due to the amount of fire and homes involved. The fire was able to advance to a third home and several vehicles due to the proximity of each home and winds before being brought under control. No firefighters or civilians were injured in the fire.
One dog perished and several cats were able to escape.
The fire caused significant damage to a storage shed and several vehicles. Total estimated damage is around $40,000. The fire is suspicious in nature and is still under investigation.
