Whitehall II news
Obesity and metabolic risk factors linked to faster cognitive decline
Obesity and metabolic risk factors linked to faster cognitive decline
Title | Obesity phenotypes in midlife and cognition in early old age: the Whitehall II cohort study |
Authors | Singh-Manoux A, Czernichow S, Elbaz A, Dugravot A, Sabia S, Hagger-Johnson G, Kaffashian S, Zins M, Brunner EJ, Nabi H, Kivimäki M. |
Reference | Neurology 79(8):755-62, 2012 |
Media coverage |
This study has received widespread attention in the media, including the BBC, Science Daily, Medical News Today and e-Science News. |
Lay summary |
People who are obese and also have high blood pressure and other risk factors called metabolic abnormalities may experience a faster decline in their cognitive skills over time than others, according to a study published in the August 21, 2012, print issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Metabolic abnormality was defined as having two or more of the following risk factors: high blood pressure or taking medication for it; low HDL or "good" cholesterol; high blood sugar or taking diabetes medication; and high triglycerides (a type of fat found in the blood) or taking medication to lower cholesterol. The study involved 6,401 people with an average age 50 at the start of the study. Information on body mass index (BMI) and the risk factors was gathered at the beginning of the study. The participants took tests on memory and other cognitive skills three times over the next 10 years. A total of 31% of the participants had two or more metabolic abnormalities. Nine percent were obese and 38% were overweight. Of the 582 obese people, 60% met the criteria for metabolic abnormality. The metabolically normal obese individuals also experienced more rapid decline. Over the 10 years of the study, people who were both obese and metabolically abnormal experienced a 22.5% faster decline on their cognitive test scores than those who were of normal weight without metabolic abnormalities. "More research is needed to look at the effects of genetic factors and also to take into account how long people have been obese and how long they have had these metabolic risk factors and also to look at cognitive test scores spanning adulthood to give us a better understanding of the link between obesity and cognitive function, such as thinking, reasoning and memory," said study author Archana Singh-Manoux. Singh-Manoux said the study also provides evidence against the concept of "metabolically healthy obesity" that has suggested that obese people without metabolic risk factors do not show negative cardiac and cognitive results compared to obese people with metabolic risk factors. |

7:30 a.m.: There's a light at the end of the tunnel for the final vote tally in Yellowstone County from Tuesday's general election, but it could take most of Thursday to get there.
"We hope to have everything done by the end of business hours today," said Bret Rutherford, Yellowstone County elections administrator.
After more than 48 hours at MetraPark's Montana Pavilion, election officials were still counting votes. Due in large part to technical difficulties with the county's three vote-counting machines, about 30,000 absentee ballots remained uncounted at the beginning of Wednesday morning.
But by early Thursday, officials had managed to make it through a large chunk of the waiting ballots. Rutherford estimated that by 3 a.m., 23,000 had been fully counted.
Upon realizing that the counting would take much longer than expected, Vote counters initially focused on getting through the first sheet -- out of two -- of the ballots, which contained the election races.
All of those -- except a handful that, for one reason or another, couldn't be read by the machines -- have been counted. They're now working on tallying the second sheets, which include referendums and initiatives.
Initially, the machines jammed every time an absentee ballot went through because they weren't able to handle the folds in the paper. A tech support specialist arrived early Wednesday morning and was able to improve efficiency a bit, to where they could count about five ballots at a time and then reset the machine before it jammed.
At 2 a.m. Thursday, another tech specialist arrived from Western Montana and is staying on scene to help troubleshoot the problems, something Rutherford said is helping.
"They're working a lot better now," he said Thursday morning.
As the final tally draws near, Rutherford said he thinks the number of people voting in the county will be right around 70,000, a little below the record of 71,200 set in 2008.
About 160 people total worked at the Montana Pavilion for the elections, whether it was helping people register or getting them into the booths to vote.
A small number of them have also been working around the clock since Tuesday morning to get the votes counted and dealing with the vote-counting issues.
"They've been doing a good job," Rutherford said. "They're worn out and it took a lot longer than expected, but they've done well."
Six people were at the Montana Pavilion counting until the Thursday morning hours. Rutherford sent them home for a few hours to shower and take a nap. At 7 a.m., he and one other person remained on scene counting and he expected the rest to return by late morning.
Rutherford said he'd been at MetraPark since long before the polls opened on Tuesday morning, more than 48 hours.
While there's still work to do at MetraPark, discussions have already started on how to streamline the process, including on how to deal with waits of as long as five hours to register to vote on Election Day.
"I've already been thinking of ways we can improve that," Rutherford said.
OVERNIGHT REPORT: While votes were still being tabulated in Yellowstone County late into the night Wednesday, elected officials, political groups and elections administrators had already been talking about how to make future balloting go more quickly and smoothly.
Bret Rutherford, elections administrator for Yellowstone County, arrived at the Montana Pavilion at MetraPark since 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, and he was still running paper ballots through the vote-counting machines late Wednesday night, 38 hours later.
He said the main problems in Yellowstone County were the difficulty of running folded absentee ballots through the machines — this a day after dealing with a flood of people registering to vote on Election Day. Late Wednesday, he said a technician was due to arrive at 1 a.m. Thursday to work on the machines, which were jamming every three or four ballot pages.
As of 11 p.m. Wednesday, the county had processed about 70,000 ballots.
"The machines haven't been working as efficiently as they are supposed to, which has been frustrating to say the least," Rutherford said late Wednesday. "But we are getting through it."
Five volunteers were working through the night, rotating between taking naps and counting ballots.
As many as 800 people registered at the Montana Pavilion on Tuesday, with the last finishing up just after midnight. Some waited as long as five hours to complete registration and voting.
Political party observers and elected officials were discussing all sorts of possible fixes before the next election, including more staffing on Election Day, earlier cutoffs of late registration, more time to process and flatten absentee ballots and renewed attempts to educate voters about early registration.
Newly re-elected Secretary of State Linda McCulloch wasn't even sure that all the so-called problems were worrisome, particularly the huge influx of last-minute registrants.
"I think it's something to celebrate," she said.
In addition to the large numbers of absentee ballots that had to be processed, McCulloch said, there was also the three-page ballot, so officials were anticipating a long night of vote-counting no matter what.
"We expected different counties to be counting this morning even if there were no glitches," she said Wednesday.
In addition to the long count in Yellowstone County, Gallatin County didn't have all its votes counted until noon, Missoula and Glacier counties didn't finish until mid-afternoon, and Flathead and Ravalli counties were still wrapping up later in the day, McCulloch said.
At MetraPark, where all Billings voters who live within the boundaries of School District 2 cast ballots on Election Day, about 30,000 of the roughly 56,000 absentee ballots returned in the county were still uncounted late Wednesday afternoon. The tabulation was expected to stretch into the evening, nearly 24 hours after the general election polls closed.
Rutherford said that at about midnight on election night, the three machines in the Montana Pavilion began jamming each time an absentee ballot went through.
The machines are designed to read flat, unfolded ballots, but most of the ballots were folded to be mailed in by voters.
Rutherford called the machine's manufacturer, and a worker arrived at about 8 a.m. to fix the problem. The tech support specialist's efforts appear to have helped.
"They're running much better now," Rutherford said.
Adding to the confusion on election night, the secretary of state's office called Rutherford about 8:30 p.m. and told him not to release any more results until all the late registrants had completed voting.
Rutherford said the call was made by elections deputy Lisa Kimmet, whose concern was that people standing in line with smartphones shouldn't be reading results before voting.
But McCulloch said Wednesday that the only concern was getting those people registered without diverting resources to tallying votes. As a result, Yellowstone County released a small number of results shortly after the polls closed at 8, and then not again until after midnight.
Rep. Tom McGillvray, R-Billings, county campaign chairman for GOP governor candidate Rick Hill, was observing the vote-counting Wednesday afternoon. He said the crush of Election Day voter registration makes it difficult "to have a fair, orderly election."
The 2011 Legislature passed a bill ending registration on the Friday before Election Day, he said, but Gov. Brian Schweitzer vetoed it.
Joe Raffiani, chairman of the Yellowstone County Democrats, said reducing access to the polls isn't the answer.
"Democracy is always better when more of the people who have a stake in the election participate in the election," he said.
He said there are "multiple possible solutions," one of which is mounting a better public education campaign to inform voters about the voting process and early registration.
Rutherford said he would like to see an all-mail ballot, which has already been used in school and city elections.
"I would rather see consistency across all the elections," he said.
Joe Bailey, a vice chairman of the Yellowstone County Republicans, said if there is going to be late registration, "we've got to be prepared for far more staff on election night."
He also mentioned the possibility of opening a second polling location, or cutting off voting at 10 p.m., regardless of how many people are still in line.
"Keeping the polls open till 12:30 at night doesn't seem like a good solution," he said.
Rutherford said assigning more people to taking late registrations would be problematic. As it is, he said, he hired six extra workers for that and had them in the elections office for three weeks before Election Day, assisting with registrations and training them in procedures.
With only four work stations in the elections office at the county courthouse, he said, he doesn't see how he could train any additional workers.
McCulloch pointed to one more small fix. She said state elections officials had asked to be allowed to open absentee ballots three days before the election, to get them stacked and compressed so they'd go through the vote-counting machines more smoothly.
The Legislature passed a bill but cut back the preparation to one day. McCulloch said it may be time to go back to the original request.
Yellowstone County commissioners Bill Kennedy and John Ostlund said they will sit down with Rutherford and other county officials to review the election and look for ways to make improvements.
Both said they heard as many complaints about traffic jams at MetraPark as they did about delays in voting or counting votes.
Despite some frustrations on Election Day, Ostlund said, he's not sure any big changes are needed.
"I think the problems are probably pretty easily resolvable," he said.

Can anyone suggest what color from the Ben Moore or Sherwin Williams paints would you say comes close to this beige-gold color on the wall of this bedroom picture I came across from a magazine? Our trim and doors are stained close to the color of wood in the four-poster bed in this picture and I have so many problems trying to find a color for the bedroom wall that is what I like as well as looking good with the stained doors and trim. But this beige gold in the pictures looks good to us! Would also have some blue in the room from a chair and perhaps bed pillows. A paint color similar to this one as well as any other suggestions for our master bedroom are greatly appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think Benjamin Moore "Muslin" is actually close. |
My living room is SW Believeable Buff and looks very similar. I still love it 4 years later. |
- Posted by mercymygft (My Page) on Sun, Feb 3, 13 at 13:35
This reminds me of BM's Desert Tan. |
LOVE BM's Muslin! It is a terrific color, at least in our home and in bff's home. Looks different in each (looks lighter in her high ceiling-ed entryway, compared to our downstairs guest bedroom), but equally perfect. |
- Posted by demolitionlab (My Page) on Sun, Feb 3, 13 at 14:27
I'm sitting in my LR, painted in SW Ivoire, and on my screen it's a pretty close match for the color in this pic. |
- Posted by bebetokids (My Page) on Sun, Feb 3, 13 at 15:40
I also have SW Ivoire and it does look very similar. The color of the bed is very close to the stain on my kitchen cabinets. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Sun, Feb 3, 13 at 17:26
On my screen it looks close to BM Montgomery White |
I agree with SW Ivoire. |
Maybe BM Golden Straw. |
Thank you all, for giving me a good place to start in trying to identify this wall color. I have started checking the colors on the BM color wheel I have at home and will in the next day or so, go to the SW store to compare the SW colors against the above wall color as suggested here. As stated, I am finding that in this house with stained trim and doors that I have many more problems trying to find a wall color we like AND that looks good with the wood stained trim compared to the much easier time I used to have with white trim and doors in previous houses. Thank you all, again. People on these forums are not only so very knowledgeable but also very helpful and kind. |
Also try BM Malton, looks very close! |
I was going to say SW Ivoire, too. I have similar colored dark wood trim in my living room with SW Blonde, and your pictured room's walls look just a bit lighter. I found SW Blonde after exhausting all the similar possibilities from BM! |

Microsoft has announced that starting as early as May 11th Adcenter will no longer require both daily and monthly campaign budget limits if you select the per day option when managing your budget. Currently, if you choose to manage your campaigns using a daily budget, you have the option of also setting a monthly maximum as well. I have always like this feature because you can set your daily spend at a higher level than if you divided your monthly budget by the days of the month. This keeps your ads going on higher traffic days during the week instead of just capping all 7 days at the same level like Google. Microsoft basically comes right out and says in their email announcement that they are doing this to emulate Google.
We're excited to drive towards industry parity while helping to simplify your adCenter campaign budget management with this update.
Microsoft advises Adcenter users to start adjusting their daily and monthly budgets before "late summer" when they will automagically use the current daily budget to calculate a new monthly one.

Home | GDR Club | Practical Info | Sponsor | Rules | Contact
Update: : 08/02/2014
Welcome on the official site of the Challenge of the Spring of Guipavas
1. GENERAL COMPETITION RULES AND REGULATION The integral rule in pdf
1.1. Rules for all teams
The Spring Challenge tournament (Challenge du Printemps) starts at 1:30p.m. on Saturday 03 May 2014.
Each Under Eleven team consists of 8 players and 2 substitutes. Each Under Thirteen team consists of 8 players and 2 substitutes. The team list must be written out on the team sheet for 1:15p.m. on Saturday. This team sheet is then submitted to the technical delegate to check the players' registration cards before the start of the tournament.
Players must be affiliated to the French Football Federation, or an equivalent structure in the country of origin for those clubs coming from abroad. Players must be insured by their club. The GDR Committee declines all responsibility in case of theft or an accident occurring to a member of a participating club.
The match referees are provided by the GDR but the representative of each participating team must designate an assistant referee/linesman for their teams' matches. (Each team must provide an assistant referee for their group matches).
In each category, the teams are sorted into 8 groups of 6 teams (by the drawing of lots which will take place on February). The qualifying group matches start on Saturday and end on Sunday at 11:45a.m. Those teams who finish 1st and 2nd in their group will go through to the group finals (final 16 teams) of the Spring Challenge which start at 1:30p.m. on Sunday. Those teams finishing 3rd and 4th in their group go on to play in the groups of the Hope Challenge (16 teams) starting at 1:30p.m. on Sunday.
After the group finals of the Spring Challenge, those teams finishing 1st in their group go directly through to semifinals of the main tournament. After the group finals of the Hope Challenge, those teams finishing 1st in their group go directly through to the Hope Challenge semifinals. The other teams are eliminated.
Players must be ready 10 minutes before their first match. If a team does not show up when called, the team automatically forfeits the game. This results in a 3-0 victory for the opposing team.
For each group match (qualifying, final 16 and the Hope Challenge) points are awarded as follows:
- 3 points for a win
- 1 point for a draw
- 0 points for a loss
If teams are equal on points after the group matches, the following results will be taken into account in this order:
- the goal difference (for all group matches)
- the greatest number of goals scored.
- the specific goal difference (in the match between the teams who are in a tie situation)
- If teams are still tied after checking all of these results, a series of kicks from the penalty mark is taken (3 kicks taken by 3 different players on each team). In the event of a tie, the other players continue to take kicks from the penalty mark until one team has scored a goal more than the other from the same number of kicks.
During the semifinals and the finals of the Spring Challenge and the Hope Challenge, if there is a draw at the end of time, the winner shall be decided by a penalty shoot-out (3 penalty kicks taken by 3 different players on each team). In the event of a tie, the other players continue to take kicks from the penalty mark until one team has scored a goal more than the other from the same number of kicks.
All matches shall be played according to the International Football Association Board (IFAB) laws of the game (current edition), unless stated otherwise in this list of rules and regulations.
Appeals and complaints must be addressed to the tournament committee (see table below). Committee decisions are final and irreversible. The committee will not accept any appeals or complaints concerning the referee's decisions during a match.
First name
Tournament manager
1.2 Final rankings
At the end of the tournament, there will be a ranking for each category. All teams participating in the Spring Challenge will be ranked from 1st to 48th following these criteria:
- 1st and 2nd places: The finalists
- 3rd and 4th places: The semifinalists decided on by the goal difference in the whole of the final phase and then by the number of goals scored in the final phase.
- 5th to 16th place: Teams who get through to the final groups decided on by the number of points obtained during the final phase, the goal difference in the final phase, then the number of goals scored during the final phase.
- 17th and 18th places: The finalists of the Hope Challenge.
- 19th and 20th place: The semifinalists of the Hope Challenge decided on by the goal difference in the Hope Challenge group matches and then by the number of goals scored in the Hope Challenge matches.
- 21st to 32nd place: Teams who qualify to play in the Hope Challenge decided on by the number of points obtained, the goal difference in the Hope Challenge group matches and then by the number of goals scored in the Hope Challenge matches.
- 33rd to 48th place: Teams eliminated during the qualifying group matches decided on by the number of points, the goal difference, then the number of goals scored during the qualifying group matches.
- Those teams whose final position could not be decided on in the preceding manner will tie for their place.
2.1. The Laws of the Game
The laws are the same for under eleven(U11) and under thirteen (U13)
The Laws of the Game are those which apply to 8 a side football with the following particularities being applied for this tournament:
- Shinguards must be worn.
- The duration of the matches
1 period of 13 minutes for the group matches.
2 x 8-minute halves for the semi-finals and the final.
The pitch will be chosen by the drawing of lots before each match by the match referee.
- No offside
- When the ball goes out of play, there will be a throw-in.
- All free kicks are direct. A goal can be scored directly from a free kick.
- The back pass to the goalkeeper (with the goalkeeper touching the ball with his hands) is allowed. If a player passes back to the goalkeeper who then touches the ball with his hands, a free kick will be awarded to the opposing team.
- The goalkeeper can reach the hand or foot .
- The penalty area runs the whole width of the pitch and is delimited by the 13 metre line (a line running parallel to and at a distance of 13 metres from the goal line).
- The penalty mark is situated in the penalty area.
- All serious fouls committed in this area result in a penalty kick being awarded to the opposing team. However, when the foul is committed on the far sides of the penalty area (near the touchline) and there is no obvious goal-scoring opportunity, a direct free kick is taken from the 13 metre line opposite the spot where the foul was committed.
- A serious foul committed by a player in his own side but outside the penalty area may result in a penalty kick being awarded, at the referee's discretion. This penalty kick is taken like a penalty shot except for the fact that it is taken from the 13 metre line.
- A player who is sent off may not be replaced, but the player may play in the following match.
- Substitutions can only be made when the ball is out of play and only with the referee's consent.

TIACA chairman slams night-flight bans
Michael Steen, chairman of The International Air Cargo Association, has spoken out about the Hesse Administrative High Court's ban of scheduled nighttime flights at Frankfurt Airport, which began on October 30. Not only does the ban impair global supply chains, Steen warned, it also penalizes business and consumers alike, he maintained.
"It is very easy for courts to impose restrictions on airport operations, but they fail to take into account the economic importance air cargo operations bring to airports and their local business communities," Steen said in a statement. After all, he said, such flight restrictions tend to affect airfreight operations the most.
"At airports around the world, all-cargo operations are often forced to fly nighttime operations because of slot restrictions that have been steadily increased over the years, particularly as passenger flights are usually given preference ahead of freighter services," Steen stated.
Although he credits cargo carriers with adapting to these changes, Steen said the Frankfurt night-flight ban could force all-freight operations away from major airports. "This would have a considerably wider effect than the judicial system is likely to take into account," he stated.
The decision to ban night flights at Frankfurt was initially designed to enable Frankfurt workers to build a new runway. But after a compromise to allow 17 flights between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m was rejected, the Hesse court enforced a total ban before the German Federal Administrative High Court in Leipzig could rule on it. Frankfurt representatives said the ban will stay in effect until the high court can weigh in on the decision.
Steen is hopeful, however, that the federal court will overturn Hesse's ban. "There is still time for the federal court to look at the bigger picture and we hope that will lead to this decision being reversed," he said in a statement. If not, the consequences could be dire, Steen maintained.
"Air cargo traffic, for example, is already moving away from Frankfurt as a result of the court's decision, and you have to assume this will affect employment at the airport and in businesses in the surrounding areas," he said in a statement.
Nowhere is this more evident than with Lufthansa Cargo. As the airport's prime freighter operator, the carrier could lose "double-digit millions of euros" if the nighttime flight ban isn't overturned, Lufthansa Cargo CEO Karl Ulrich Garnadt stated. One analyst placed that figured to be between €30 million and €50 million.
Lufthansa Cargo's freighter services to the U.S. and China are affected the greatest, as the carrier planned to institute 10 night flights at the end of October. A so-called "same-day delivery" service to the U.S. over New York and Chicago is the main casualty of the ban. One night flight to Chicago will now depart from Leipzig instead of Frankfurt, but this will mean trucking urgent cargo almost 200 kilometers east from Germany's industrial heartland, resulting in a much earlier cutoff for shippers.
What's more, night flights from Frankfurt to New York and Chicago must switch to daytime for November and December. It's just another unintended consequence of the Hesse decision, Garnadt explained.
"Frankfurt is essential to the logistical network. We can, more or less, provide our customers with the required lift, but there are serious consequences for our reliability [from a night ban]," he said in a statement. "It will still be possible to operate, but we would have to re-analyze our future development."

In Response To: Re: Migraine (Dorothy)
Thank you Dorothy for the reminder. I need to force myself to drink water. I am sure that will help, and maybe it is detox going on. As long as I can move around like I was able to a few years ago, I will put up with anything! Hope it continues to continue. It is funny, but when I am hobbling around, it brings to mind an article I read about four or five years ago, that said if you want to appear younger, take care to have a spring in your step. What a laugh, as if we all can control that, I thought! Maybe I will be able to. I am really encouraged! Hopefully, I can be of some help someday, when someone needs advice. Lately, I seem to be just a taker. Thanks!

Blood & Chalk Vol 5 — Jim Wendler Talks Big Weights
by Bryan Krahn
To the layperson, powerlifters are a scary bunch.
Quite often they're heavily muscled, covered in tattoos, and capable of moving weights that your average CrossFitter would require a front-end loader to budge.
Yet despite their intimidating image, many powerlifters are among the nicest athletes you'd ever get a chance to rub shoulders with. In fact, sometimes the biggest, strongest, meanest looking SOB in the gym is also the most helpful and knowledgeable guy as well.
Too bad that nice powerlifter won't return our calls, so we're stuck with Jim Wendler.
Don't forget, if you have a question of your own for Big Jim, just post away in the discussion thread following the article. Jim loves to help people, and if you're serious about getting strong, you'll listen.
TM: I've been training using the 5-3-1 Method for a while now and
it's working out well, especially with squats and overhead presses.
However, my bench has stalled, big time.
I've seen you recommend just doing the prescribed reps, rather than as many as possible. Would this be a good time to do that for my bench, but continue with the standard method for the other lifts?
JW: For most people, myself included, the answer for most lifting and training problems is to do more. While this often works, it's not always a sure solution.
For example, if I'm getting ready to have a big week pressing, I'll take a week or two OFF from any kind of pressing accessory movements. This allows my chest and shoulders some time to recover and not stress them. This doesn't mean I don't press or bench press; it means that my accessory work is usually a lot of lat and upper back work.
So with this example in mind, understand that the best solution is not always to do more. It might be best to back off a bit and let your body recover instead. This might mean to lower the training max of your program, or keep the same training max and only do the prescribed reps. But since 1% of you will never do this and will choose the more volume route, here are two suggestions:
• Perform the bench press sets as written, then repeat the first set again, but go all out on this set, too.
• Perform the bench press sets as written, and repeat the percentages on the way down. For example, on the 3x5 week you would do 65% x5, 75% x5, 85% x5+, 75% x5, and 65% x 5+.
I assume most of you are doing chins and pull-ups between all your pressing sets. Be sure to continue to do this with these extra pressing sets to keep everything in balance.
TM: I'm a chick who loves powerlifting. I weigh 125 and want to know what my big three numbers should be before I consider entering my first meet?
JW: First, congratulations on thinking of entering a meet — you'll love it. It takes a lot of guts to get out on a platform and be judged by your peers and I admire anyone who does it.
Second, just do it! You don't have to be an all-star the first time you go to a meet. The important thing is to get in one and see if you like it. No one's going to judge you as a person on how much weight you lift; and if they do, their opinions aren't worth a watery shit.
Since you are new to this, let me offer a few points.
• Open light in the squat. No need to add fuel to the nervousness by attempting a weight you think you MIGHT get. The opening squat sets the whole tone of the meet for you: If you destroy it, your confidence is up, the butterflies will be gone, and you'll be awesome. You'll go back to your seat with a huge smile on your face. Of course, if you over-extend yourself too early and shit the bed, the opposite is true. In that case, prepare to have a long, miserable day.
• Bring someone you trust. This doesn't have to be anyone experienced in meets but someone that will help you navigate the meet and help you through the day. It DOES help if this person has meet experience, but as long as you have someone that can handle you (wrap knees, get you water, check on flights, etc.), it takes a whole lot off your plate. You can just concentrate on lifting weight.
• Don't cut weight — just weigh what you weigh. Worry about your training for the meet; no need to add cutting weight to your list of worries.
• Know the rules — every federation (about 458 in the United States) has different rules. Know the judging rules. Know the equipment rules. Don't be caught off guard.
• Ask other lifters and handlers at the meet for advice. 99% of the time people are going to be more than helpful. Just don't do it right before someone lifts.
So getting back to your original question, there's never a perfect time for entering your first powerlifting meet. You're never going to be strong enough; in this sport, the quest for a total shows that you can never be strong enough. Just go out there and do your best, and you'll have the respect of everyone in that room, no matter how strong you are.
TM: You often address what you consider to be the best assistance lifts. That said, one of my biggest problems with the book you wrote is your whole "the choice of assistance lifts doesn't matter" philosophy.
I was under the impression that certain assistance lifts are more useful than others in certain instances, like overcoming specific weak points.
Can you give some quick and dirty tips on when it's more appropriate to use one assistance lift over another?
JW: Whoa Tex, I've never said the choice of assistance lifts doesn't matter. If I felt that way, I wouldn't have devoted as much space in my book to the best assistance lifts as I did.
What I did say was, the choice of assistance lift pales in importance to the proper execution and loading of the key lifts. Too many younger lifters major in the minors, and they're called assistance lifts for a reason. That's the main point I was trying to make.
When evaluating whether an assistance lift has a place in your program, it helps to consider that assistance lifts are intended to accomplish a few specific goals:
• prevent strength imbalances.
• build muscle.
• strengthen weak areas.
• and most importantly, ASSIST the basic lifts (squat, bench press, overhead press, and deadlift; or whatever lifts you deem important in your training).
Let's take a look at the key lifts and what needs to be strong to do them:
Squat — abs, low back, hamstrings, quads.
Deadlift — same as squat, plus upper back/lats and grip.
Bench Press — chest, shoulders, triceps, lats/upper back.
Overhead Press — same as bench press, plus low back/abs.
So with this in mind, we have to have assistance work that compliments these lifts and provides balance. (Don't worry aspiring Jersey Shore stars, your precious hypertrophy will be achieved with volume.)
Here are some of the best assistance exercises for each area of the above:
• Abs — sit ups, ab wheel roll-outs, hanging leg raises.
• Low Back — good mornings, back raises, reverse hyperextensions.
• Quads — lunges, leg presses.
• Chest — dips, dumbbell presses, dumbbell flyes.
• Triceps — dumbbell presses, dips, triceps extension/pushdowns.
• Shoulders — any pressing exercise.
• Hamstrings — glute ham raise, good mornings, back raises, leg curls.
• Lats/upper back — pull-ups, bent rows, dumbbell rows, shrugs.
For the grip, just perform Kroc rows (high rep dumbbell rows) or high rep shrugs (no straps).
You'll notice a lot of overlap with some of these exercises because we're trying to do more with less. That's training economy, a very good thing; better results with less time in the weight room.
Now you don't have to perform all of these exercises in one workout — just pick one for each group and hammer it home. Some exercises may work better than others but you have to give it time to work. I see people do an exercise for three weeks and fail to put 80lbs on their bench and label it a big failure.
As for volume of the assistance lifts, that tends to vary from person to person and therefore it's hard to program on paper. When in doubt, push the main lift and do assistance work based on however you might feel that day.
Truth is, I tell seminar attendees all the time that a training program rarely fails due to improper assistance exercise selection. It will fail from poor programming, a lack of consistency, and failing to accommodate the ups and downs of life. In other words, a program must allow you to adjust a bit when you have a particularly good or absolutely shitty day.
It's not as simple as "Do this." You have to rely on that thing that rests between your ears.
TM: Jim, you talk a lot about hill sprinting. I have a big mother near my house and I did 20 sprints up and nearly lost my lunch. Care to elaborate more on hill sprinting?
JW: If given a choice, running hill sprints is my preferred method of conditioning. It taxes the lungs, legs, and most importantly, your mind. You get a big enough hill and you'll grow a big enough pair of balls after a year of running it. Three to four workouts a week on a big hill, done over the course of a year, will change your body and your mind.
Like many kids growing up in the Chicago area, Walter Payton was a huge influence. Not only was he a great athlete and person, his work ethic and commitment to his profession was legendary. Running hills was something that became synonymous with Payton and was often credited with giving him the physical and mental edge that made him great.
My mentor, Darren Llewellyn, first introduced me to hill sprints. He took me over to Sanders Hill in Northbrook, IL and had me run up and walk down until I felt queasy. I continued this regimen two to three days a week throughout high school and the strength, speed, and endurance I got from it were amazing. Legs got bigger and stronger. I got faster. And I was in incredible shape.
Of course, getting people to run them with me was almost impossible. A few people would offer to join me but would all mysteriously vanish after one or two sessions. The most consistent member of my hill running crew was a cross-country runner named Bruce Obog. I've no idea where Bruce is today, but if you happen to know, please send him a big thank you for me.
There are two downsides about running hills:
• It sucks balls.
• You have to find a good hill to run.
The first is easy to overcome — just man up. The second, not so much; but I live in the very flat state of Ohio and still found a great hill. Now this took about two years of half-ass looking and testing out many duds before I found my Big Mother.
The first thing I did was ask some of the locals as I'm not from this area. The second thing I did was Google search "Sledding Hill" with a couple different cities that I live near. There were half a dozen that were good but all were a long drive. This is fine for weekend training, but I didn't want to lift, travel, go run hills, travel back, and be home at 11pm.
I eventually found a great hill at a man-made reservoir, an option that I wouldn't have thought of had it not been for some friends.
Whatever the length and grade of your hill is will be fine, mostly because it has to be. You're going to be limited by what is available to you. But to give you an idea of the hills that I run:
• The small hill is about 40 yards.
• The big hill is about 75-80 yards.
I don't know about the grades of the hills but they work for me. If you're in doubt about your hill, just ask yourself this question: Will this hill give me a hell of a workout and make me awesome? If the answer is yes, you're fine. If not, keep searching.
Now the key to starting hill running/sprinting is simply going out there and doing a few and seeing how you feel. You don't have to make the first day into Hell Day. Make a goal for the day (my first time out I wanted to do 8) and do it. Don't worry about rest periods. Don't worry about how long it takes to do. Just get it done.
Do this for a few sessions and see how your knees, ankles, legs, and lungs feel. Once you get a handle on your body and your conditioning level you can start setting goals, progressions, and how many days/week you want to do them. All of these things are going to be dependent on your specific goals.
When I began running hills again I knew for an absolute fact that my lifts were going to take a beating. I'm not an idiot. You don't run up and down a hill four days a week and expect your lifts to suddenly increase. So once I began my hill running, the first thing I did was lower my training max significantly on my 5/3/1 workout.
I did this on ALL lifts. I also cut back on all lower body assistance lifts. Running up and walking down the hill is taxing on your legs — the workout you give your legs (and really your entire body) is phenomenal.
My workouts were very simple: I'd go to the weight room first, train my main lifts, do limited assistance work and drive to the hill. This was done four days/week.
After about three weeks, my legs started to feel a bit better and got used to the demand. Don't be fooled, the first couple squat workouts were far from impressive. What was once a warm-up was now shaking violently when I walked it out. Mentally, it's hard to handle but you have to start thinking differently-your legs are getting stronger but just aren't able to display it during a squat.
So in conclusion:
• Find a hill
• Take three weeks to adapt to it — find out how out of shape you are.
• Adjust weight room work to accommodate the extra running.
• Once your body adapts, figure out your goals and execute.
If in doubt, squat and run hills. A lot. Your body will thank you. And buy some cleats.
TM: I love trap bar deads and I'm pleased to know you've given them your seal of approval. My only problem is I feel them a lot in my quads, which is concerning as I'm already a quad-dominant lifter. Suggestions?
JW: My suggestion is to quit thinking you're quad dominant. Unless your quads hang over your kneecaps like an elephant's testicles, you're not quad dominant. You're just hamstring weak. And to cut out a simple core exercise is not an option.
I too was hamstring weak at one point. Today, I don't know if I'm hamstring STRONG, but certainly not hamstring weak. It took a lot of time to bring my hamstrings up to a level that was acceptable. This was also the case with my lats, lower back, and abs. The solution was simple: Hard work. And patience.
The first thing I did was make hamstring work the second thing I did on lower body days. So immediately after my main exercise, I would do good mornings or glute ham raises. In fact, Kevin Deweese (my old training partner) and I would do three sets of glute ham raises before each workout, lower or upper body. And on lower body days, we'd do them (or something similar) after the main lift of the day.
Because I'd neglected them for so long, it took about two years of quality training to bring them to an acceptable level. I was fine with this, as you should be too. Two years is nothing in the lifetime of a lifter, and you should be doing it anyway.
The point is this: Cutting out a "big" exercise because you're quad dominant is pointless unless you're going to hurt yourself. You may have to alter the weights a bit to make sure you don't do something stupid, but cutting it out entirely? That's the last thing you should do.
TM: I'm new to powerlifting and have my first meet scheduled in eight weeks. I'm following your advice and won't be adjusting my training one bit from 5/3/1, but everyone I talk to suggests I taper my training in some manner. It's really confusing, cause I have a hard enough time tapering my steroid cycles; now I have to taper my training, too? What do you suggest?
JW: This will be discussed in greater detail in my 5/3/1 for Powerlifting book, but my advice is pretty easy.
• Between now and the meet, work up to your openers once or twice. Your openers SHOULD be 85% of your goal for the meet. This should be done on your 3x3 week and your 5/3/1 week. On this week, you can push your last set but don't go crazy. If in doubt, just get the prescribed reps and work up.
• Take your deloading week one to two weeks before the meet. Some people need only a week to recover from the heavy training, others need two or three; you won't know until you try for yourself so pick one and do it. I personally use a two-week deload.
• The last three to four weeks, don't go over the prescribed reps. Make sure all sets and reps are strong and fast. No need to kill yourself this close to the meet.
• The week of the meet you will do no training — but keep up all restorative measures that you normally do. For example, I would keep PVC rolling, stretching, mobility work, and lacrosse ball rolling. Masturbate according to your current frequency. This will keep you active, help you recover, and keep you on some sort of a schedule.
• Be sure you have a clear understanding of the rules of the organization; don't lose an attempt because you didn't know there was a "squat" command.
• Don't forget to have your bag ready and packed several days before the meet. Make a list of all the things you will need and get them ready before the stress and anxiety of the meet causes you to pack your wife's vibrator instead of your toothbrush.
• Finally, please be sure to bring a friend/training partner you can trust to be your handler. This person will help you stay calm, change weights, call depth, get you water, wrap knees, pull up your suit, give the expediter your attempts, hand off, spot and make sure all you have to worry about is the meet.
One last piece of advice — if in doubt and you don't know what to do, train your balls off and take the last week off. If you're strong, you're strong. Weak people find excuses — strong people lift big weights. And to be honest, this last paragraph of advice is all you really need.
Got a question for Jim? Too bad, he doesn't give a shit. Regardless,
post them after this article and I'll see if I can bribe him with
some meat-flavored candy.

The Coolest Custom Football Cleats of the Past 5 Years
Image via Fully Laced
The NFL is rarely considered an individual league. Players wear practically the same gear altogether and sometimes it can be hard to separate individuals based on their wardrobes. The one difference is the cleats that players wear can separate them and let us know who's who on the field. Usually the best players in the NFL wear player exclusives which help them perform well and stand out among their peers in performance and style. These Player Exclusives feature some unique colorway or design that you can't find anywhere. here are the Coolest Custom Football Cleats of the Past 5 Years.

Use white vinegar and distilled water to make own ..need recipe ? Need whatman filter for making own also even with the 99% acetic u have..
Welcome to Mc also bro.
First I would like to introduce myself to the forum and thank anyone for the help they may bestow upon me. I recently picked up some IGF LR3 and ran into a reconstitution problem. I had no acetic acid! I did a little search on the net and found some AA but at a much higher grade of 6% not the .6% that is needed. What I am wondering is how would I dilute this down with the distilled water? Do I just add 1 part AA to 9 parts water? That is what I thought at first until I started reading all of the forums on the subject , now I am at a complete loss.
As a side note I am on a NPP/Test PP cycle 525/525 and am looking forward to introducing this compound to the mix. And for PCT as well. But that is for an other thread. Thanks for the help!

Thanks Bigghorn. I have the AA and the water. I just need to know how to get from 6% to .6%
Well ok.. So say your bottle of 6% is 10ml. To make it .06 it's multiplied by 10. So that 10ml bottle will end up 70ml of .06% acetic acid.. Where did you find 6% acetic acid? Only acetic acid I can find is 100% glacial acetic acid not 6%.
So a smaller amount from your 6% bottle would be
1ml of your 6% acetic acid
10ml of distilled water
=11ml of .06 acetic acid
Kool, Thanks Bigghorn. I picked it up from amazon.com. The name of the company is Aqua Solutions, Acetic Acid 6% v/v Solution and it came in a 1 liter bottle for something like $30 or $35. Thanks again. I will give this a shot and post how things turned out.
Yea, that's definitely expensive bro, but you live and learn
"Pissing excellence and shitting perfection."
I was thinking about it but didn't want to piss away the peptide on a mixing mistake. I will never have to buy an other. I am starting today in T minus 120 minutes. Can hardly wait ; ) Nice pic Big!

the Men's team had secured their spot for the semi-final on Saturday night...and since we knew we were going to Chicago anyway, we figured why not go to the game?! she had been making posters all week and hanging them around the house...'GO U.S.-BEAT HONDURAS', etc. so while Mike was checking into our hotel, she turned to me and said:
'Mom, this means we won't be watching the soccer game...that stinks.'
to which i replied:
'oh yes we are...we are going to WATCH that game Allie. FROM THE SIDELINES!!!'
to say she flipped would be putting it mildly, lol. this was the look on her face at the stadium that night... it rained for most of the first half...but we didn't care. we cheered our team on, and they won. (until Sunday when they played Mexico in the final and got their hats handed to them...ouch.) i'm guessing that Soldier Field must have 60,000+ seats..and every single one of them was filled. it's a neat feeling to be around so many people who share your excitement for the game, walk around with pride supporting their country's team and truly get into the spirit of the competition.
the next day we just stayed near the hotel and bummed around. Woodfield Mall is near where we always stay (it's close to Mike's family), and now that she's into shopping, we spent the better part of Friday afternoon there. we turned in early Friday evening, since we were heading into the city on Saturday...we were wiped out and the rest helped immensely.
Allie loves her American Girl doll, Emily. we get to the American Girl store about once a year, and she so looks forward to it...her eyes glaze over, she gets all giddy and she is flying high with excitement. but wait...'MOM! i didn't bring Emily, because i didn't know we were coming to Chicago!!'
fear not, sister...mama's got you covered, lol.
that doll was packed neatly in the back of the car...like i would forget?! here she is, showing off Emily's new ear piercings that she got done that day...and after seeing the mayhem that is consistently there every time we go, no matter what time of year...i have to say that whoever came up with the idea was a genius. recession?! you'd never know it in that place, lol!
after our trip to AG, we decided to spend the day at the Museum of Science and Industry. (we are members to a similar museum here in Ohio, so we get in free...woot!) i had wanted to go see the pirate exhibit at the Field Museum, but they were dead set on the Science museum. we had a good time...
the highlights?
the 30 minute live show called 'Poop Happens'...teaching kids about digestion, lol. i have to say that i was laughing so hard i was crying at the 2 college kids that work for the museum and do this show. and every kid in there was teeheeing at the fact that they were allowed to be talking and making jokes about poop without being reprimanded, lol. so right from that show, we hightailed it to the lab for...
'Dissect a Cow Eye'.
i was worried a bit...10 was the youngest you could be to participate, so Allie just made the cut. (no pun intended) but she was adamant, and we got the last eye available. (whew. she had been looking forward to this lab all stinking day and would have been MAJORLY bummed had we not gotten in.) i was shocked...it was an actual lab like when i was in high school Anatomy class! each 'student' had their own lab setup...complete with SCALPELS. now, i handle scalpels everyday...they are S-H-A-R-P.
i freaked a bit.
but i relaxed and told myself to let the dude teaching the class do his job...he informed them about safety, etc. and she did just fine. until they handed out the eyes, lol.
uh, yeah. they don't exactly look like most people expect them too...and between the weird color and the muscles/nerves hanging off the back side of it, she looked a bit freaked.
but then fun Professor Dude teaches them to do the 'Cow Eye Popsicle' trick with the scalpel (demonstrated below), and all is well, lol.
before you know it, she was engrossed and totally loving it.

Quite aside from aesthetic considerations, Schrager—who recently sold the company he founded and built up for more than 20 years—has something to prove. "I wanted to set the record straight," he says. "I was looking to pull a rabbit out of a hat again." He would like, in other words, to be known as the man who reinvented the hotel not once, but twice. And he is determined to do it at the Gramercy Park Hotel.
It is clearly a new, more reverent day for Schrager, the man who, as the world knows, catapulted to overnight fame in 1977 with the decidedly irreverent Studio 54, the instantly infamous nightclub he created with his business partner, the late Steve Rubell. He went on to write his name large as the stop-the-presses hotelier who turned the hospitality industry on its ear in 1984 with Morgans on Madison Avenue, his first "boutique" hotel, designed by the Paris-based high priestess of 20th-century French modernism, Andrée Putman.
Schrager's idea?Tap forward-thinking designers to reimagine what a hotel might be—a place to dream for a night or reinvent yourself for a day and, of course, a place to see and be seen. Meaning that in addition to the invariably eye-opening design of the interiors, there is a kind of sparkly frisson in the air, an almost palpable buzz, as they say, at a Schrager hotel, where you can always amuse yourself by clocking celebrities: Jade Jagger in the restaurant; Donatella Versace in the lobby; Calvin Klein by the pool; David Geffen on the terrace; Kate Hudson at the bar.
But over the past decade, the notion of "high-design" hotels has become a given, if not a cliché. "People used to think that only people who wore black came to my hotels," Schrager says. "Then, suddenly, it's big business, and I'm getting credit because we changed the industry." With success came imitators: "Everybody's doing it now, not only a bunch of little boutique hotels, but the big hotels as well," he says.
It was time to turn the page, and in any event, the Gramercy Park Hotel presented a different mandate than Schrager's first 10 properties: Morgans, the Royalton, the Paramount, and the Hudson in New York; the Delano and Shore Club in Miami Beach; the Mondrian in Los Angeles; St. Martins Lane and the Sanderson in London; and the Clift in San Francisco. For perhaps the first time, Schrager had acquired a hotel that had the kind of history and provenance that he (rightfully) felt obliged to consider.
Built in two stages—the first completed in 1925 by architect Robert T. Lyons, the second in 1930 by architects Thompson & Churchill—the 18-story Renaissance Revival beige-and-butterscotch-brick pile runs in an L along the corner of Gramercy Park North and Lexington Avenue, an enviable location overlooking the only remaining private square in New York City, the seemingly enchanted Gramercy Park. But the hotel not only had a prime location in a unique neighborhood, it also, like the Plaza, the Chelsea, and the Algonquin, occupied a soft spot in the hard hearts of countless New Yorkers—much the way Angelenos get all warm and fuzzy about the Chateau Marmont. Nonetheless, by millennium's turn, the much loved New York City institution had clearly fallen on hard times.
Though there were those who still found its raggedy charm alluring, in truth you had to be a die-hard fan to remain loyal to the hotel that had devolved so dramatically since its glory days—when an 11-year-old John F. Kennedy and his family lived on the second floor for several months; when Humphrey Bogart chose the hotel as the location for his wedding to Broadway actress Helen Menken; when long-term residents ranged from S. J. Perelman to Edmund Wilson and Mary McCarthy. Though a small, never-say-die set remained true to the place—in recent years you could occasionally see, say, Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, filmmaker Gus Van Sant, and a fair number of French fashion magazine editors in town for the New York Collections in the lobby—with time and neglect, the hotel had become exponentially more shabby than chic. Layers of New York City's famous grime seemed to cover virtually every surface, from the frayed curtains and beyond-repair plaster walls and ceilings to the ravaged carpeting and the tiny bathrooms most would have preferred not to take a bath in. Adding insult to insult, clumsy window air conditioners alternated between blasting arctic and stale air.
In short, the hotel was overdue for a massive renovation. And with the current building boom in Manhattan being what it is—frantic, no site or property too small, awkward, or expensive to be overlooked—the owner, Steven Greenberg (who, in 2002, purchased the hotel from the late Herbert Weissberg, who had owned it for 50 years), had many suitors for the down-at-the-heels old dowager. In 2003, the bidding was won by Schrager and his simpatico partner, German-born developer and art collector Aby Rosen.
The Gramercy is the first entry in a portfolio they are putting together for the new Ian Schrager Company, which will feature apartment buildings in addition to hotels. "I'm very interested in residential work. I like building—I'm a builder," says Schrager, who incorporated 23 cooperative apartments into the 1930 wing of the hotel, directly overlooking Gramercy Park. The apartments were designed by architect John Pawson, and set a new New York record by selling for, give or take, $3,000 per square foot. Chanel kingpin Karl Lagerfeld bought one early. "Only two are left," Schrager says. "One is $16 million, one is $10 million."

Jay Cross helps people work and live smarter. Jay is the Johnny Appleseed of informal learning. He wrote the book on it. He was the first person to use the term eLearning on the web. He has challenged conventional wisdom about how adults learn since designing the first business degree program offered by the University of Phoenix.
Last night I enjoyed watching this documentary on Amazon Prime Instant Video. $3.99.
The documentary introduces us to extremely happy people living in an Indian slum, a Danish co-op, a Louisiana bayou, an African village, the mountains of Bhutan, and farms in Okinawa. No money, all smiles.
Happiness results from personal growth, loving relationships, and accomplishing things that are good for the community. Cooperation generates as much dopamine in the brain as drugs. Altruism, compassion, gratitude, and acts of kindness are doorways to the satisfying life.
If you want to be happy and haven't thought much about it, see this film.

The Gentleman's Sport
The Art of Re-Gifting
The act of re-gifting is a precarious art. The item to be bequeathed must show no evidence of wear and tear, be too old, or suspect to recognition from any party involved. It might also help if the person you're giving it to didn't gift it in the first place.
The following rules deem whether the item at hand is "acceptable" to pass on to your beloved kin, friends, colleagues & foes without their sneaking suspicion that it has been sitting in the back of your closet — forever waiting for that fateful day when you didn't feel like venturing into the cold for a tedious housewarming or birthday present.
1. It can't be too old.
There's nothing worse than receiving something from a brand that went out of business half a decade ago. It's too obvious and shows a lack of decorum and the sheer apathy radiating from the gifter. Make sure that whatever you're passing off is relevant and handy i.e. not a Diehard DVD with the Blockbuster sticker still on it.
2. It can't be re-gifted within your immediate circle.
Think of the person you're giving the present to and then give yourself two degrees of separation. Say you received some lovely bath towels that a girlfriend would appreciate. Make sure it didn't come from one of your mutual close friends or had been previously instagrammed to avoid the inevitably awkward conversation. It might also help if they're not monogrammed as well.
3. It should be in its original packaging.
Best practices dictate that the present should still be in its original packaging for etiquette as well as sanitary reasons. Noone wants to receive sunglasses without a case or jewelry without the original box. It's too obvious and a bit amateur hour — professional re-gifting requires the replicated trappings as well.
4. Food baskets – the gift that keeps on giving (unless it's expired.)
Perfect for house warming presents, gifted food baskets are one of the few things that can be reassembled and redistributed with nary a second thought. Received a few for the holidays and already picked them over? Feel free to replace those meats, cheeses and jams willy-nilly from the baskets you haven't ransacked yet. Noone will know the difference but more importantly everyone appreciates charcuterie regardless of its "known" origins.
5. Include a handwritten note.
To eradicate the guilt factor and alleviate any suspicion, always include a lovely handwritten note along with each gift. The receiver will be so pleased you took the time to sit down and pen something thoughtful they might overlook any signs of its previous ownership. Unless you forgot to remove the note someone left you in there. Then you're just plain out of luck.

7 Secrets to Developing an Effective Spa Menu
By: Dori Soukup
Posted: September 29, 2011, from the October 2011 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 3 of 4
Don't offer too many treatments; more does not mean better. Too many options will confuse clients and actually lower your reservation rate.
Do keep your menu simple by limiting the number of treatments, and organizing your treatment options by category and subcategory. This makes it easier to select treatments.
6. Menu structure
Don't list à la carte options at the beginning of your menu. Frequently when spas offer packages, they list their packages in the back of the menu.
Do place your packages, programs and series in the front of the menu, and list à la carte after your packages and programs. This practice will help sell more packages, increasing your revenue. An ideal booklet menu structure is: cover, welcome, packages, programs, à la carte, spa boutique, how to spa and back cover.
7. Menu assessment
Don't keep the same menu for a long period of time; more than one year without change is a mistake. If you have items on your menu that are not selling, remove and replace them with new options.

The 'Whistle' activity monitor works to transform your dog's activity into quantifiable data. The device attaches to your dog's collar in order to track its every activity. Whistle then transmits that data about how much your dog is active and inactive to your phone.
A smartphone app allows you to see your dog's activity levels and track their health. At the end of each day, the app provides an activity summary. The report provides insights into your dog's actions along with warnings if something is amiss. If the Whistle senses that your dog is getting less rest than average, the app will notify you and provide hard stats.
Whistle also gives you the ability to predict health and look at trends. In addition, the app has access to the data of similar dogs so that you have a benchmark to compare your dog's stats to.

MILWAUKEE - Hostess Twinkies are becoming the latest product remade and repackaged into 100-calorie snack packs, a product some analysts say could do well given that more people are packing their own lunches in the slumping economy.
The maker of the golden yellow, creme-filled cake is launching "Twinkie Bites" nationwide in stores today. It's also introducing a snack pack featuring strawberry cupcakes as it extends the 100-calorie pack line originally aimed at women who wanted to snack more sensibly.
Hostess launched its 100-calorie cupcakes in 2007, but held off on making a version of the Twinkie because the product was a favorite overall, not just among those looking for low-cal options, said David Leavitt, vice president of snack marketing at Hostess owner Interstate Bakeries Corp. Some 500 million Twinkies are sold every year.
Leavitt noted that the original Twinkie comes in at 150 calories, but people asked for a lightened version and the company got to work. They didn't want to just shrink the Twinkie, known for its elongated shape, Leavitt said, so they created three, miniature round versions. Leavitt said people enjoy having multiple bites rather than just the one product.
"It's not some impostor like some portion control products would be," Leavitt said. "From that standpoint, it eats like a Twinkie, it smells like a Twinkie, it tastes like a Twinkie."
He didn't disclose how they ensured that the new version kept the taste of the old one.
Snacks in 100-calorie packages tend to do well when they're similar to the original product, but don't take off when the slimmed-down version loses the filling or tastes different otherwise, said Marcia Mogelonsky, an analyst with Mintel International in Chicago.
Leavitt said Hostess is hoping to make more of the 100-calorie products, honing in on their portability because they're easily taken to the office for lunch. Hostess makes more than 15 million boxes of its 100-calorie packs — including cupcakes, muffins and coffee cakes — each year. The top seller is a chocolate cupcake.

USDA-APHIS proposes to eliminate some tuberculosis, brucellosis testing in livestock
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is proposing to amend the livestock exportation regulations to eliminate pre-export tuberculosis and brucellosis testing for goats and breeding swine if the receiving country does not require such testing. Some countries do not require goats and breeding swine to be tested for tuberculosis and brucellosis prior to export. However, APHIS' current regulations require that such testing be conducted. The proposed amendments would relieve this unnecessary burden on producers by exempting goats and breeding swine from tuberculosis and brucellosis testing prior to export when testing is not required by the receiving country. This action is published in today's Sept. 17 Federal Register. Consideration will be given to comments received on or before Nov. 16. Send two copies of postal mail or commercial delivery comments to Docket No. APHIS-2009-0067, Regulatory Analysis and Development, PPD, APHIS, Station 3A-03.8, 4700 River Road, Unit 118, Riverdale, MD 20737-1238. Please state that your comment refers to Docket No. APHIS-2009-0067. If you wish to submit a comment using the Internet go to the Federal eRulemaking portal at www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/ |
