Sarasota vs. NaplesPosted by Marc Rasmussen on Wednesday, September 5th, 2012 at 11:18am.
A few weeks ago I headed down to Naples, Florida to check it out. Home buyers that contact us will often look in Sarasota as well as Naples for retiring or purchasing a vacation home. We lose buyers to that area and they lose buyers to Sarasota. Naturally, since I sell here my first instinct is to say, "Sarasota is Better!" However I will try to objectively compare the two areas.
A friend of mine, Tim Ryan of NaplesGuru.com, recently opened his own real estate brokerage so I went down there with Jason Painter to see his new offices. He was nice enough to show me around Naples like I was a potential home buyer. If you are thinking of buying in that area I highly recommend Tim. You can find him at NaplesGuru.com or call his office at 239.963.4070.
Demographics of Sarasota & Naples
Sarasota and Collier counties are large. They incorporate many towns. For example, North Port is part of Sarasota county but is roughly 35 miles away from downtown Sarasota. For this reason, I used the city demographics instead of the county demographics. The data below comes from Census.gov.
|County Population, 2010 (Sarasota & Collier)
|Population, 2010
|Persons under 5 years, percent, 2010
|Persons under 18 years, percent, 2010
|Persons 65 years and over, percent, 2010
|Housing units, 2010
|Median value of owner-occupied housing units, 2006-2010
|Median household income 2006-2010
|Land area in square miles, 2010
City of Sarasota
City of Naples
Median Home Price
There are some noticeable differences here. In Naples the median value of owner occupied housing is $845,100, yet only $227,500 in Sarasota. You might interpret this a few ways:
- The city of Sarasota offers a fantastic value when compared to Naples.
- There are more luxury properties in the city of Naples raising the median home price or fewer lower priced properties.
- There are fewer luxury properties in the city of Sarasota lowering the median home price or more lower priced properties.
Older Population in Naples?
I often hear the joke, "Old people live in Sarasota and their parents live in Naples."
As you can see above, 48.4% of the population Naples is above 65 years old while only 22.4% of people in the city of Sarasota are over the age of 65. Maybe the joke is accurate?
Higher Household Income in Naples
The median household income in Sarasota is $40,183 which is far less than Naples at $75,836. This makes sense as there are either a larger concentration of luxury properties or fewer lower end homes.
If you drive around Naples you will notice that there is no downtown district. You won't see any high rise office or condo buildings. 5th Avenue in Naples seems to be the epicenter of the town. I must say that it is really nice. It is very posh and upscale. There are a variety of nice places to shop and eat. It reminds me of St. Armands Circle but perhaps with fewer touristy gift shops.
The population density is much lower in the Naples. In roughly the same land area Sarasota has almost 52,000 people yet Naples only has only about 20,000 people. I did not see any tall condo buildings (1350 Main, Plaza at Five Point, Marina Tower) in the downtown area of Naples.
If you prefer a downtown area with office and condo high rises you might lean towards Sarasota. If you prefer low density, small buildings then perhaps Naples would be better for you.
Naples is further south than Sarasota so you would expect it to be a bit warmer. It is hot in both areas in the summer. Some people prefer Naples over Sarasota because of the warmer winter weather. Below is a temperature comparison between the two areas. I found it at weather.com.
As expected, Naples is warmer than Sarasota. As far as the water temperature goes most would agree that it is probably too cold to get in the water in the winter time in both Naples and Sarasota.
Average Temperatures in Winter
I did get to check out one of the beaches while I was in Naples. We went to the Naples Pier and walked out to see the water and sand. The sand reminded me a bit like Lido Key or Longboat Key. It was very nice and the beaches were pleasant. However, the sand was not the quality of Siesta Key. The water looked cloudier than the waters around Sarasota. It did not have the clarity that you see at the Sarasota beaches. However, perhaps it was just a rough day. I will have to check it out the next time I go down there.
Waterfront Living
One noticeable difference between Sarasota and Naples was the amount of waterfront properties. See the map of Naples below.
Most of the waterfront properties are either on the beach or found in Port Royal, Park Shore or the Moorings (I am going by the map here so I might not be 100% accurate). There are some amazing beachfront estates in Naples. I don't know for sure but I think there are probably more beachfront homes in Naples. Except for Casey Key most of the barrier islands around Sarasota have condos lining the beach.
When I was in Naples I did not see many "WOW" water views. Sarasota seems to offer more of that. When you drive over the John Ringling Bridge and throughout other parts of town you often catch a magnificent water view that reminds of the beauty of Florida.
Compare the map of Sarasota below to Naples. Notice how much more bay front there is in Sarasota.
If you want water views it appears that Sarasota has the edge over Naples. You can find a fabulous water view from the mainland of Sarasota, Osprey, Nokomis as well as the barrier islands like Bird Key, Lido Key, Casey Key, Longboat Key and Siesta Key. You can find them from both condos and homes. That "WOW" water view seems to come at a higher price in Naples since there is less of it.
Real Estate Prices
The average and median home prices in Naples has always been more expensive than Sarasota. I don't know Naples so it is a bit difficult to compare apples to apples. I used Tim Ryan's property search for the following information:
Single Family Homes
|7 homes
|15 homes
|$5m - $10m
|28 homes
|52 homes
|$2m - $5m
|171 homes
|181 homes
|$1m - $2m
|270 homes
|236 homes
|$0 - $1m
|3,405 homes
|1,436 homes
What is noticeable here is that Naples has roughly twice as many homes for sale with asking prices of $5 million or more. We have about the same amount of homes for sale between $2 million and $5 million. Sarasota has more than twice as many homes for sale under $1 million than Naples. The higher number of luxury homes in conjunction with fewer lower priced homes gives Naples a much higher average and median home price.
|1 condo
|$5m - $10m
|5 condos
|10 condos
|$2m - $5m
|41 condos
|68 condos
|$1m - $2m
|99 condos
|208 condos
|$0 - $1m
|1,667 condos
|2,478 condos
It is interesting to see that Naples has over twice as many condos for sale between the $1million and $2 million price range. Naples also has 811 more condos for sale priced under $1 million. I am actually surprised to see this as it seemed like there were more condos in Sarasota. However, I noticed that many of the beachfront condos in Naples are much larger buildings with higher floors and more units. I will double check the accuracy of these numbers.
Arts & Culture
I have a hunch that Sarasota probably has a leg up in the arts and culture department. This area has often been called the 'Cultural Capital of Florida." You can see the wide array of cultural venues that Sarasota has to offer here - SarasotaArts.org. A few of them include:
- Asolo Theatre
- Burns Court Cinema
- Florida Studio Theatre
- Golden Apple Dinner Theatre
- Ringling School of Art & Design
- Van Wezel Performing Arts Center
- Sarasota Film Festival
- The Players Theatre
- The Jazz Club of Sarasota
- Sarasota Orchestra
- Sarasota Ballet
- Sarasota Opera House
After doing a few Google searches I can't seem to find much in the way of Naples Arts and Culture. We did drive by The Philharmonic Center for the Arts (The Phil in Naples) which was a gorgeous facility.
If this important to you I suggest asking someone much more involved in that world for an unbiased comparison of both cities.
Honestly, both Sarasota and Naples are really nice places to live and own. I don't think you can go wrong in either area. It is simply a matter of personal preference.
It is good to have choices.

Loved your article. Might I suggest that you also include the Longboat Key area as a comparison of higher priced homes that are included in the Sarasota area. Also it would have been helpful if you had included the price per square foot comparison. I follow your website with regularity and very much enjoy it.

Hi Mary,
Thank you so much! Actually, Longboat Key and the other barrier islands are included in the numbers above. Great suggestion on the $/sq. ft. If I get some time I will add it. ;-)

Great article. I lived in Naples in the late 80's when the Vineyards was just being developed. I liken it to what Lakewood Ranch has done to change Sarasota. I wish we had moved to Sarasota sooner as there is so much more to do here just as your article stated. I love our diversity in population, architecture, shopping choices from Main St, to Osprey Ave, to Southgate, the South Trail, and of course St Armand's. Boating is so much better here also which is why we chose Sarasota. I'm truly glad we lived in Naples when we did as
it was really charming in the late 80's. Now it seems to be just huge mansions with a few good restaurants, galleries, and shops.

Great article Marc! As a former resident of Sarasota and a current resident of Naples; I think your observations are right on target. It was great to see the side by side comparison and note the similarities as well as the differences.
I enjoy living in Naples but will eventually return to Sarasota!!

@Randy - Thank you. It will be great to see you around Sarasota again!
@Kristin - Thank you for the comment. Great information for everyone! ;-)

Thanks for the great piece comparing Sarasota and Naples. I found it insightful and analytical.
Posted on Wednesday, September 5th, 2012 at 6:11pm.
Based on your criteria, especially median home prices etc., it seems like 2 very different markets altogether from a real estate perspective, so not really comparing Apples to Apples here. Clearly, if your budget is on the lower end, Sarasota is your place. But, to say that there are just "mansions and a few good restaurants" in Naples is really inaccurate. Naples is pristine and luxurious, as well as family-friendly. The "older" set you speak of are mainly part-time winter residents. I would like to see your age breakdown with seasonal numbers taken into account. Our full time residents are young families as well as older. We have an abundance of cultural activites as well, but sorry - we're not home to the "world-renowned" Ringling School (tongue-in-cheek on that one). It's no wonder Naples always makes national lists for top seaside town, best, beaches, most family-friendly - the list goes on. For an alledgedly "objective" article, it sure sounds biased! Lastly, there is a reason many will pay the median price to live in Naples! You do the math!

Hi Nella,
Thank you for the comment. It is apparent which town you like better. ;-)
I tried to be objective but I am obviously a bit biased. I found Naples to be a fabulous place. Ultimately, the buyers will visit both areas and pick the one they like best. ;-)

thank you for the info
Posted on Thursday, September 6th, 2012 at 11:02am.
I must say, I enjoy reading all of you articles. You have presented some excellent reading on topics that are both useful and interesting. I hope someday to make Sarasota my home and fully expect to use your agency for any transaction. Thanks again and keep the articles coming.

Hi John,
Thank you very much! We would be happy to help. ;-)

Very informative article. One statistic you left out was crime rate, which in Naples is non-existent, there are no "Gentleman Clubs" unfortunately or foretunately depending on how you look at it.
Also, where I looked at properties in Sarasota, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, I was stunned by the prices of what you call waterfront and the age, condition and square footage. They may be less expensive however the ones I saw needed to be gutted and totally rebuilt, or torn down completely.
Naples is also the cleanest city I have ever experienced. Even the center islands of the roads are landscaped and irrigated and absolutely trash and debris free. Unlike what I noticed in Sarasota.
And in the 10 years I've owned property in Naples I've watched the population get younger and younger with lots of children and some of the best public schools in the entire state of Florida.
I'm surprised that Tim didn't show you the new Mercato shopping and entertainment complex on the north end of town as well; there's a Whole Foods, Capital Grill, Seasons 52, AZN Asian fusion, the Pub, Bravo, upscale movie theater, shops, Blue Martini, and more to come! No need to drive to 5th ave anymore!
I do enjoy my Visits to Sarasota as well! But it's always nice to get back to the peace and serenity of my Naples.
My 3 cents.
Naples and Washington DC
Posted on Saturday, September 8th, 2012 at 3:48pm.
Thanks for the great insight Barry.
You are right, I should have added some crime stats. However, I don't trust them entirely because they say Bradenton is a safer city than Sarasota which cannot be true. I would imagine the crime is lower in Naples than Sarasota just based on the demographics.
Gentleman Club - I will leave that one alone. For some that is an asset. A liability for others.
It is hard for me to compare condos in Sarasota to Naples because I don't know that market. As I scan through Naplesguru.com I see a lot of beachfront condos that were built in the 1970's (i.e - http://www.naplesguru.com/listing/212014346-3951-gulf-shore-blvd-n-1204-naples-florida-34103-3637). Which is the same for Sarasota. I imagine they are pretty comparable based on other clients who moved up here from Naples.
Cleanliness - No doubt it. Naples was super clean. I agree that the common areas look fantastic. Something Sarasota really needs to work on. The paths into Sarasota (Fruitville, Bee Ridge, Clark Road, U.S. 41) do need some sprucing up in my opinion.
Age - Again, I don't know Naples all that well so I have to go by what Census.gov tells me - Persons 65 years and over - 22.4% for Sarasota, 48.4% for Naples.
Tim did show us Mercato. That is a great shopping destination.
Again, appreciate the comment. This wasn't a Sarasota is better than Naples article. Just a comparison. Some people like it here better. Other people like it there.
Different strokes for different folks.
Posted on Saturday, September 8th, 2012 at 4:04pm.
Marc! Great article and I fully concur with your analysis. "Some" just have to turn things into a contest rather than allowing for a "different" point of view. You clearly stated both cities have their strong points but it is a matter of personal preference. Sorry but Sarasota is indeed the cultural capital of the west coast of Florida, if not, the whole state. Excellent article! You have me sold on Sarasota :)
Posted on Saturday, May 11th, 2013 at 4:58pm.
What a complete and informative article comparing these two cities. Each year we spend at least a week on holidsy with the kids on Florida's Gulf Coast. Siesta Key is has always been a favorite choice. We always take day trips to explore all that both cities have to offer. You have highlighted some attractions we have not seen yet. Will be back again this summer and will have NEW places to check out.
Posted on Thursday, May 23rd, 2013 at 5:48pm.
Thank you to all posting opinions. My wife and I are examining 2nd home options and this was helpful. I don't know Naples but remember hearing its name when my orthodontist advised he was retiring there 45 years ago. We plan on visiting the Sarasota area within the next year to look around.

2012 Tesla Model S Tech Deep Dive: Pictures
Work on the Model S sedan continues at Tesla. The all-electric sedan will offer a 160, 230, or 300-mile range battery pack, seating for seven, and a body fit for an Italian car. While questions still linger over Tesla's ability to deliver that car for the claimed $50,000 price, Tesla showed off a bare Model S chassis (pictured in this gallery) at the Detroit auto show. Most of the main structural components appear production ready, lending credence to the the car's summer 2012 release date.

Much is going on right now and we have big plans for the future… Unfortunately that's all I can say at the moment, I don't want to reveal too much about it before anything is certain. I only mention it so you have something to look forward to reading, that's all ;).
One thing that is certain though, is that 5 more dogs are coming soon. Mom is back on Monday the 23rd with them, and the next day 2 of them will be going to their foster homes. I can't wait to meet them all! Our neighbors think we're crazy but we don't mind. If you don't happen to fit in with the rest of the neighborhood you better get with the program; people will look at you and they most certainly will talk about you. But as long as you're happy with what you're doing and you're not hurting anybody – be strong and stand up for yourself! It's good for us as a pack to meet other dogs and get the chance to live with them and really get to know them. These dogs usually come with a baggage, too, but we see that as an opportunity to learn and grow as individuals ourselves, since it takes somebody special to help them recover. I'm glad we get to be those "special" ones.
Today we received all the dogs' test results for the various diseases they're checked out for. Almost all of them came out negative, but sadly little Zoe has Leishmaniasis. Fortunately it's on a low level so we're hoping the medication will do wonders for her so she'll still have a chance at being adopted. In other words, we're still having her. Leishmania infanatum is a parasite spread by sandfly bites, thus transferring Leishmaniasis from dog to dog (or human to human). It's a fairly common disease in the Mediterranean but it is in fact treatable, although it often means that medication is necessary throughout the dog's life. We don't have the sandfly in Sweden so we cannot get infected here. If properly medicated, an infected dog can have just as good of a life as any other dog, symptom free. There are even cases where dogs have been given a clean bill of health after a few years on the medication. So we're keeping our paws crossed for Zoe!
Meanwhile, here's what Alfie thinks about sharing his home with 3 more dogs:
Say whaaat?!?
On second thought it's not that bad. Not enough to keep me awake, anyway.

Did You Know? Choosing the Fresh or Historic Index in Backlink Explorer
Raven's Backlink Explorer is a powerful tool that taps into data from Majestic SEO to find backlinks from around the web to a URL that you specify. Taking it a step further, you get to choose which database you're interested in: The Fresh Index or the Historic Index.
The Fresh Index is a database that is updated daily and contains data from the last 30 days. It generally has fewer links for a URL than the Historic Index, but the links found in the Fresh Index tend to have a higher probability of being live since they were found more recently.
The Historic Index is Majestic SEO's largest database of backlinks, containing data from as far back as June 2006. Because of its size, it's only updated monthly.
To run your report, go to Link > Backlinks, where you'll be prompted to choose the index you'd like to query. Enter your URL, choose either the Fresh Index or the Historic Index, and click the green "Explore" button.
Once your report has finished running, click "View" to review the backlinks that have been found for the URL that you entered.
To determine the index used in a previously run Backlink Explorer report, click on the URL of the report in the History table, and then click the blue "Details" link next to "Backlink Report." This will display the index you queried for the report, along with the total number of backlinks found as well as the date the report was run.
More research, more data, more results. Find out what Raven can do for you! Sign up for a free 30-day trial today!

Houston is a rich city, so why is it so hard to make it? Too many have two or three jobs, can't find full-time work or are asked to sacrifice hours and pay while their company reels in record profits.
Not anymore. The people who make this city work are standing up for good jobs and a new way of doing business in Houston. They are fighting for a Houston where everyone who works hard is able to get ahead and live their dream, not just struggle to get by.
We stand for the real Houston.
We believe working people are the backbone of Houston and we are getting a raw deal in this economy—working too hard for too little. At the same time the rich and powerful are doing better than ever. Corporate profits are at an all-time high, corporate bonuses are back to obscene levels, and companies are sitting on piles of cash.
We are the real Houston; We are the people who make our city's economy work in an economy doesn't work for us. We are a voice all Houstonians who don't make enough to get ahead.
We believe good jobs will solve many problems our communities face.
We believe that Houston is a rich city where the people who help create the wealth are getting a raw deal. We live in crumbling neighborhoods where schools are closing and houses are vacant. We work hard every day for less and less.
We believe that our communities are hurting because very powerful special interests want to keep the game rigged so that the economy works for them, but not for all. They are aligned with politicians who don't want working people to fight back— and they'll win unless we stand together for good jobs and a great Houston.
We stand for a new way of doing business in Houston.
We stand for a Houston where the economy works for working people. We stand united for a new way of doing business in Houston where everyone is able to get ahead and live their dream, not just struggle to get by.
We'll mobilize the employed and unemployed to focus on corporations who don't pay their fair share, or don't give back to Houston with good jobs.

Better to Remain Silent and be Thought a Fool than to Speak out and be Piers Morgan
Piers Morgan Takes Aim at the Bible
You've got to hand it to bloviating Brit Piers Morgan. While he got most of the facts wrong in his recent targeting of the Second Amendment, it hasn't stopped him from moving on to even more formidable targets.
Such as the Bible.
He says the book is "inherently flawed"—and needs to be amended.
Piers handed down his decree while interviewing Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren on the December 24th "Piers Morgan Tonight." Yes, on Christmas Eve. When other hosts might be discussing love, brotherhood, salvation, and all things ethereal, Captain Morgan was giving us the world according to Piers. And how would he improve the Good Book? Said he, "Both the Bible and the Constitution were well intentioned, but they are basically, inherently flawed. Hence the need to amend it. My point to you [Warren] about gay rights, for example; it's time for an amendment to the Bible."
Well, Piers, we're so blessed to have you to correct both America's founding document and the most influential book in history. We had to suffer more than 200 years with one and more than 2000 with the other, but the right god-man has finally come along. Oh, and when you're done with that, old boy, can you contact the Genome Project and rewrite the human genetic code for us? We're flawed, too.
To Warren's credit, he politely but firmly disagreed, responding to the amendment call by saying:
What I believe is flawed is human opinion because it constantly changes. [...]What was hot is now not. [...]My definition of Truth is: if it's new, it's not true. If it was true a thousand years ago, it'll be true a thousand years from today; opinion changes, but Truth doesn't.
To this Morgan quite predictably responded, "We're going to agree to disagree on that."
Warren then noted how pleasant their exchange had been, prompting Morgan to concur and say, "The debate should always be respectful. By the way, it applies to politics, too. The moment it becomes disrespectful, and discourteous, and then rude, and then poisonous, you never achieve anything." Talk about amendment—without making amends. If that's what Morgan now believes, he has definitely discovered a new "truth" since his recent interview with Larry Pratt.
This brings us to what lies at the very heart of modern liberalism and confuses the head of Piers Morgan. When Morgan disagreed on the unchanging nature of Truth, he was espousing moral relativism. This is the notion that what we call "morality" is determined by man and thus is relative to the time, place, and people. It is also something virtually every liberal believes.
And while Morgan's relativistic statement was almost made in passing, and was allowed to pass—perhaps partially because of time constraints—it was actually the most significant comment of the exchange (relativistic sentiments always would be). Why? Because that was precisely when Morgan, completely and abjectly, lost the debate. And if you understand what I'm about to explain, you'll be able to cut any liberal off at the knees—anytime.
While many will say, as Warren might have implied, that relativism reduces morality to opinion, even this is both too generous and a misunderstanding. "Opinion" often refers to a thesis about what may be the answer to a particular question, about what may be true. But this presupposes that there are answers to be found, that there is such a thing as "true." In other words, Mars exists not because everyone believes it does, but because its existence is a physical truth. And the question is, does moral Truth exist in the same way, apart from man and his imagination? If not, then saying that something is morally "true" would make as much sense as saying that planet Vulcan exists simply because you felt it did. Delusion does not a truth make.
So relativism does not reduce morality to opinion. It implies something else.
That morality doesn't exist.
After all, to say that society determines "morality" is to simply put lipstick on the pig of man's preferences about behavior. To analogize the matter, if we learned that 90 percent of the world preferred vanilla to chocolate, would this somehow make chocolate "wrong" or "evil"? No, it would simply be an issue of taste. But then how does it make any sense to say that murder is "wrong" if the only reason we do so is that the majority of the world prefers that one not kill in a way the majority calls "unjust"? If this is all it is, then murder falls into the same category as flavor: taste. Again, delusion does not a truth make.
More intellectually nimble moral relativists have thought the above through and—although their ultimate conclusion is wrong—they don't fool themselves the way Morgan, Richard Dawkins, and virtually every other leftist do. For example, I know of a fellow who has echoed the Protagorean mistake "Man is the measure of all things" and said, "Murder isn't wrong; it's just that society says it is." He takes liberals' cherished relativism to its logical conclusion (or at least close to it).
This brings us back to Morgan's philosophical juvenility. He repeatedly stated in his Warren interview that the Bible was "flawed," but such a concept is incomprehensible in a relativistic universe. For what yardstick is he using to judge the Bible? He certainly cannot refer to any transcendent Truth (a redundancy). And the times, places, and people that extol(led) Scripture certainly don't align with his judgment, and who is he to impose his values on them? "What you espouse is your 'Äòtruth,' Piers; theirs is different. Don't be so judgmental." That's how easy it is to hoist liberals on their own petards.
The same applies to homosexual "rights." If "morals" are values and values just reflect tastes, how can respecting homosexuals be morally superior to persecuting them? How can any behavior preference rightly be judged at all? I think here of how the robot in the film Terminator 2: Judgment Day repeatedly asked the adolescent John Connor why he shouldn't kill people. "Why? Why?" The machine was just being logical, unlike the liberal organic robots (atheism=no souls=man is merely chemicals and water) that entertain meaning-inducing illusions. In a relativistic universe, moral principles do not compute. This is why any relativism-buttressed point collapses upon itself.
Feelings can become fashions, but never morals. "The Bible isn't flawed; it's just that secular society says it is. Respecting homosexuals isn't right; it's just that secular society says it is. And what Adam Lanza did isn't wrong; it's just that all of society says it is." Does that sound sociopathic, Piers? It is.
It is also what your relativism implies.
That is Philosophy 101. And if you can't understand even that, Mr. Morgan, you're going to start to seem, to use your own words, like an "unbelievably stupid man."

Mao Tai (Sorghum Liquor)
Boasting a flavor that's often compared to lighter fluid or rubbing alcohol with a rotten cabbage or "barnyard" edge, Chinese Mao Tai liqueur is distilled from fermented sorghum (a gluten-free cereal grain) to produce its whopping 144-proof alcohol content. (For comparison's sake, vodka is a mere 80 proof.)
Mao Tai is known as the national spirit of China and has been offered to toast dignitaries such as Richard Nixon, Kim Il-sung, Margaret Thatcher and Ho Chi Minh. In 1974, U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger famously quipped to Chinese politician Deng Xiaoping, "I think if we drink enough Mao Tai, we can solve anything."

I just ran the Smolov Base Mesocycle. I did not do the 2 weeks before it,nor the Intense Mesocycle afterwards,just the 3 week program with a 4th week of just hitting a PR on Friday.
I did nothing else but the Squats in this time period.
Previous Squat : 275 1RM
New Squat : 315 1RM
It's pretty exciting to finally put up 3 plates. I want to do it again now that I have rested for a week,but I have a question.
Can I add in Upper Body work if I am only training 4 days ? I don't like how far behind my Upper Body is now lagging since I did this.
I tried to Bench the other day,and 225 felt heavy when I used to do 235 for reps.
Was thinking of doing this...limiting it to 4 training sessions as Smolov is, but with the following:
Monday -
Tri Work
Wed -
Pull Ups & Shrugs
Fri -
Tri Work
Sat -
Pull Ups & Shrugs
Comes out to:
- Squat x4 for Smolov Requirements
- Bench x2
- Rows x2

Entertainment Weekly asked a variety of stars to share their memories about the first time they saw ''E.T. The Extra- Terrestrial.'' Here's what they had to say:
JENNIFER LOPEZ Oh my God, ''E.T., phone home!'' I saw it at a drive-in -- in The Bronx! It was amazing. It was probably one of my biggest movie memories.
WILL SMITH I hate to say this, but I think the first time I saw ''E.T.'' was a bootleg tape. My cousin worked in a movie theater, and he used to bootleg movies for me. To bring that much emotion to that level of fantasy was just awesome to me. It was one of those films you remember forever, and that's what you shoot for when you're creating a film.
NAOMI WATTS(''Mullholland Drive'') I was blown away, absolutely in awe of it. It took you to a whole other place.
JULIANNE MOORE I watched it with my son on video. We were both sick and in bed. The minute [E.T.] takes off on that bicycle I burst into tears. And my son was like, ''Mommy, what's wrong?'' But it's interesting how quickly he identified with the little alien.
LAUREN AMBROSE (''Six Feet Under'') I was about Drew Barrymore's age and I remember seeing her on the screen and wishing that I could be doing that.
CHRIS TUCKER It was amazing. It was just a groundbreaking movie, and I'm glad they're re-releasing it.
DIANE LANE ''I can't wait to take my 8-year-old. I remember Drew Barrymore's scream, and of course, ''penis breath.''

Maine Township school board votes to fire another coach amid hazing scandal
BY JON SEIDEL Staff firstname.lastname@example.com January 24, 2013 10:06PM
Emilio Rodriguez
Updated: February 26, 2013 6:33AM
The Maine Township school board voted Thursday to fire a second soccer coach swept up in a hazing scandal at the northwest suburban school district.
In calling for Emilio Rodriguez's dismissal, the board stated in documents he was "not forthright" when he denied at a meeting in December he'd been told about the alleged initiation of a student — one that's previously been described as a sexual assault.
"Your blanket denial that students reported these allegations to you is not plausible or credible in light of the statements of at least eight students that a student or students reported these allegations to you," the board wrote in the documents it used to begin the process of firing Rodriguez.
That meeting occurred the day after the board voted to fire varsity soccer coach Michael Divincenzo, according to the documents. Now Rodriguez, like Divincenzo, is suspended without pay while their dismissal processes play out.
Rodriguez will have 17 days after being formally notified of the board's decision to ask for a hearing where he could fight for his job. Divincenzo, who is also being disciplined over the hazing scandal, is already seeking a hearing.
Neither man has made a public comment about the allegations despite several requests from the Sun-Times. Rodriguez couldn't be reached for comment Thursday. Police reports show the men denied knowing about hazing at the school.
They also show Rodriguez said he was told some soccer players "got" another player on Sept. 26. When Rodriguez asked that player what happened, Rodriguez told police the player said others tackled him and tried to pull his pants down but didn't get his underwear down. When Rodriguez asked the player if that's all that happened, he said the player said yes.
The board's resolution said Rodriguez was told at least two freshman soccer players were assaulted and sodomized that day with fingers or sticks as a form of hazing.
Meanwhile, in another move to combat allegations of a hazing culture at the Maine Township schools, the board voted to hire a former Assistant U.S. Attorney, Sergio Acosta, to "scrutinize every aspect" of the hazing matter at $300 an hour. Cook County prosecutors and state child welfare officials are also investigating.
Acosta is a former chief of the general crimes section of the criminal division of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois, according to his online biography.
The board also voted to hire a consultant to begin conducting focus groups regarding the hazing allegations, and it said in a statement it is also working toward launching an online system that would allow students to report bullying and hazing anonymously.
Tony Romanucci, a lawyer suing the school district over the hazing allegations, said he is glad to see it is "cleaning house." However, he also told reporters before the board's vote he thinks Maine West Principal Audrey Haugan is being protected as discipline is handed out.
Haugan is named along with Divincenzo and Rodriguez in Romanucci's lawsuit. The attorney claims Haugan knew Divincenzo tolerated the alleged abuse of a student on a baseball team he coached in 2008 and took no action against him.
Haugan has declined in the past to speak about the allegations and couldn't be reached for comment Thursday.

Education Minister appoints 64 new professors
Minister of Education Marcel Chládek appointed 64 new professors on Thursday. The ceremony at Prague's Karolinum was not attended by President Miloš Zeman, who, according to his spokesman Jiří Ovčáček, was getting ready for the upcoming meeting with the Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liebermann. The president in the past expressed his desire to leave the tasks of appointing new professors to the education minister or Speaker of the Senate, but the lower house rejected an amendment to the law which was drawn up in line with his request.
Foreigners deny collaboration with terrorists at Prague court
Three foreign nationals, who are accused by the US of collaborating with terrorists, denied their guilt at a hearing at Prague's municipal court on Thursday. Ali Fayad, Faouzi Jaber of Libanon and Chalid Marabi of the Ivory Coast were allegedly planning to sell weapons and cocaine to American secret agents, who were disguised as members of a Colombian terrorist organisation. The court on Thursday started to discuss their extradition to the US. The men have been in custody since April, when they were arrested by the Czech police at a hotel in Prague.
Czechs disposed of unused medication worth over CZK 55 billion
Czechs disposed of unused medicines worth two billion Czech crowns last year, according to a survey carried out by the State Institute for Drug Control. Unused medicines made up for more than three percent of all the medication supplies to pharmacies and hospitals. Only a half of Czech households dispose of unused medicines by returning them to pharmacies. The survey also indicates that Czechs have stock piles of medicines in their homes worth 362 million crowns.
President signs state budget for next year into law
President Miloš Zeman on Thursday signed next year's state budget into law. The budget projects a deficit of 100 billion crowns, or around three percent of the country's gross domestic product. Compared to this year's budget, the revenues are set to increase by 20 billion while expenditures should rise by 8 billion. The budget was backed by 105 MPs of the governing coalition and one opposition MP from the Dawn party. The opposition has criticized the budget over lower funds allocated for investment; these are set to reach 75 billion crowns next year, some 25 billion less than in 2014.
Czech firm wins tender to grow medical cannabis
A Czech company has won a public tender for growing medical cannabis, the State Institute for Drug Control, announced on Thursday. Sixteen Czech firms have placed their bids for a license to grow and sell cannabis to pharmacies. The name of the winner has not been disclosed yet to due to administrative procedures. The law on medical marihuana opening way for patients suffering from cancer and neurological diseases to use the drug under medical supervision came into force in February last year. Czech pharmacies started to sell the drug, which is now legally imported from the Netherlands, in mid-November.
Czechs mark third anniversary of Václav Havel's death

Cardinal Dominik Duka will celebrate a mass in his memory at Prague Crossroads centre on Thursday afternoon and the Václav Havel library will be hosting a staging of Havel's play Protest. People around the country are also joining the "short trousers for Václav Havel" initiative, rolling their pants up to remember Václav Havel's first inauguration to the presidency, when he wore visibly short trousers.
Czech woman sues Norway's social services for having taken her sons
A Czech woman has filed a lawsuit with a court in Norway appealing a decision of the country's social services to take away her two sons and place them in foster care, the paper Mladá fronta Dnes reported on Thursday. The lawsuit is a prerequisite for Czech diplomats to put pressure on Norwegian authorities in the case, the daily said. Norway's social services took the sons away from their Czech parents in 2011 over alleged sexual abuse. The police later dropped the case but the authorities placed the children in foster care. The case has recently come into the spotlight in the Czech Republic where a number of officials including President Miloš Zeman vowed to help get the children back to their mother.
Man who set himself on fire in central Prague dies of his wounds
A man who set himself on fire in central Prague on Tuesday night has died of his injuries, a spokesman for the Vinohrady hospital in the capital said. The man, who was 56, doused himself in a flammable liquid and set himself alight at the top of Wenceslas Square shortly before midnight. Passers-by attempted to put out the flames with jackets before a fire extinguisher was found. He was taken to hospital with severe burns where he died on Wednesday night. A spokesperson for the police said the man had been on day-release from a Prague 8 mental hospital but had not returned in the evening.
Prague court delivers stricter verdict in Opencard case
A court of appeals in Prague on Wednesday sentenced the former head of Prague City Hall's IT department, Ivan Seyček, to 3.5 years in prison over his role in the controversial Opencard project. Mr Seyček, had been found guilty of manipulating the selections procedure for a smart card in favour of the firm Haguess, despite the fact the company failed the meet the city hall's requirements. In February, a lower court handed Mr Seyček a conditional sentence. The court of appeals confirmed a conditional sentence for another former city hall official. Some 1.2 million people in Prague use Opencard as a public transport pass; the massively overpriced project has cost the city around 1.35 billion crowns.
Czech public debt to decrease this year, finance minister says
The Czech Republic's public debt should this year reach 1.663 trillion crowns, some 20 billion less than in the previous year, Finance Minister Andre Babiš said. If Mr Babiš's estimate proves correct, the public debt would decrease for the first time since 1995. Mr Babiš spoke to reporters after meeting President Miloš Zeman on Wednesday. Mr Zeman had established a personal fund to decrease the public debt; the two officials destroyed a four-million state bond as the fund's latest contribution towards the debt.

Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when you suddenly stop this drug. Some people who have suddenly stopped taking similar drugs have had chest pain, heart attack, and irregular heartbeat. If your doctor decides you should no longer use this drug, he or she may direct you to gradually decrease your dose over 1 to 2 weeks.
When gradually stopping this medication, it is recommended that you temporarily limit physical activity to decrease strain on the heart. Get medical help right away if you develop chest pain/tightness/pressure, chest pain spreading to the jaw/neck/arm, unusual sweating, trouble breathing, or fast/irregular heartbeat.
Before taking carvedilol, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: certain types of heartbeat/heart rhythm problems (such as slow/irregular heartbeat, sick sinus syndrome, second- or third-degree atrioventricular block), breathing problems (such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema), severe heart failure requiring hospitalization, liver disease, kidney disease, blood circulation problems (such as Raynaud's disease, peripheral vascular disease), serious allergic reactions including those needing treatment with epinephrine, overactive thyroid disease (hyperthyroidism), a certain type of tumor (pheochromocytoma), other heart problems (such as Prinzmetal's variant angina), a certain muscle disease (myasthenia gravis).
Before having surgery (including cataract eye surgery), tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
This drug may make you dizzy, drowsy, or cause you to faint. This is most likely to occur within 1 hour after taking your dose, especially when you start carvedilol treatment or any time your doctor increases your dose. During these periods, avoid driving and doing hazardous tasks. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Limit alcoholic beverages.
If you have diabetes, this product may prevent the fast/pounding heartbeat you would usually feel when your blood sugar level falls too low (hypoglycemia). Other symptoms of low blood sugar, such as dizziness and sweating, are unaffected by this drug. This product also may make it harder to control your blood sugar levels. Check your blood sugar levels regularly as directed by your doctor. Tell your doctor immediately if you have symptoms of high blood sugar such as increased thirst, hunger, and urination. Your doctor may need to adjust your diabetes medication or diet.
People who wear contact lenses may have dry eyes while taking this medication.
Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially dizziness and lightheadedness.
This medication is not recommended for use during pregnancy. It may harm an unborn baby. Consult your doctor for more details.
It is unknown if carvedilol passes into breast milk. However, it is unlikely to pass into breast milk in large amounts. There is a low risk that it may have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
See also Warning and Precautions sections.
Dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, diarrhea, or tiredness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position. The risk of dizziness is highest within 1 hour after you take your dose. Taking this medication with food and starting treatment with a low dose and slowly increasing your dose as directed by your doctor help to reduce the risk of dizziness.
This drug may reduce blood flow to your hands and feet, causing them to feel cold. Smoking may worsen this effect. Dress warmly and avoid tobacco use.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: very slow heartbeat, severe dizziness, fainting, unusual weakness, change in the amount of urine, numbness/tingling of the hands/feet, blue fingers/toes, easy bruising/bleeding, mental/mood changes (such as confusion, depression), seizures.
Although this medication may be used to treat heart failure, some people may rarely develop new or worsening symptoms of heart failure, especially at the start of carvedilol treatment. Tell your doctor right away if you develop any of these serious side effects: swelling of the hands/ankles/feet, severe tiredness, shortness of breath, unexplained/sudden weight gain.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

A new study reported in the journal Science on June 6, 2014 is groundbreaking in filling in some missing information about how sleep affects learning, memory, and performance. Over the last few decades, evidence has been accumulating that sleep is beneficial, and recently slow wave sleep has been found to be the sleep stage during which much memory consolidation takes place. It had been hypothesized that during sleep, some strengthening of connections between neurons occurs, along with some pruning of synapses that help establish memories. The new discovery is that the process of synaptic strengthening and weakening has been observed, providing support for the hypothesis.
A team of researchers at New York University and Peking University Shenzhen, China (Wang et al. 2014) used mice that were genetically engineered to express a florescent protein. After training them on a running/balancing task, they observed changes in synapses. One finding was that changes appeared on specific dendritic branches – that is they were not spread across an entire brain region. Periods of sleep or sleep deprivation followed training, and remarkably, only after sleep did some of the new branches appear. Moreover, the newly formed spines were still present a day later.

What makes a nighttime drama a soap?
Shows like ''Beverly Hills, 90210'' and ''Melrose Place'' -- and probably ''The O.C.'' -- are snubbed by the Emmys because they are considered ''soaps.'' But serialized shows like ''The West Wing'' and ''Six Feet Under'' are ''dramas'' and frequently nominated. Why? -- Shane Kwinter
Pure, ignorant snobbism. Heaven knows, Heather Locklear deserved an Emmy in the mid-'90s glory days of ''Melrose'' as much as any actress on TV at the time. Voters reward solemnity over sass, dour seriousness over ebullient wit. That's why, Shane, we'll both be disappointed when Adam Brody doesn't get an Emmy nod later this year.

This week marks the one-year anniversary of my writing on Dwell Well. I love this work; I find myself paying more attention to the world around me as I think of ideas, projects, and events to write about—which is always good.
To celebrate a year of Dwell Well, I'll be posting Halloween and fall-inspired projects all week. I hope you make a few! First up: Halloween jars!
You will need:
To use your jar with a tea light (as pictured), put some sand in the bottom to insulate the glass from the heat of the candle. You could also fill the jar with candy corn—add a lid and it would be a great gift for a friend or teacher.
Next up: another easy jar turned jack-o-lantern.

fastcgi and php on Debian etch walkthrough

Thanked 25 Times in 21 Posts
would this be the solution to allow my users who use fastcgi to kill their own processes? sometimes I am required to killall -9 dispatch.fcgi because they make some bigger changes in their scripts...
also I'd like to ask a question about the settings of fastcgi:
I am trying to use these config options:
-maxClassProcesses n (10)
The maximum number of dynamic FastCGI application instances allowed to run for any one FastCGI application. It must be <= to -maxProcesses (this is not programmatically enforced).
-maxProcesses n (50)
The maximum total number of dynamic FastCGI application instances allowed to run at any one time. It must be >= to -maxClassProcesses (this is not programmatically enforced).
The first option limits the number of children of a certain script (I guess determined by the name) the second one limits the total number of active children.
BUT if I set a limit for the first one, this does not work out for me as my different instances all have the same name: dispatch.fcgi so if I set option#1 to 2 because I want each "scritp" running max. 2 times in parallel I won't be able to have more than 2 dispatch.fcgi in total on my system...
Is there a workaround or did I udnerstand thsi wrong?
