Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for workouts for people who live upstairs and can't work out too much because of the people who live underneath them. I hope that makes sense. I have already lost 6lbs just by giving up soda but I would like to lose a lot more and I know working out helps but I can't because the tenants underneath me already complain that I "walk too hard". Any suggestions anyone?

Try yoga and strength training. Use resistance bands instead of weights for a quieter workout. Unfortunately, these workouts aren't cardio workouts but they will help burn calories and tone you. I live on the second floor as well so I know how you feel. Go outside for your cardio. A simple walk or jog does the trick

Seriously they complain because you "walk too hard"?
And their noise is quiet I assume?
An exercise bike should be quiet wnough. Wrist and ankle weights worn through the day would also burn more (word of advice, don't leave the wrist weights on while cleaning dishes... It hurts!

Push ups, planks, side plank and elbow planks are quiet and will work your upper body and core! If you have hand weights you can do a wide variety of exercises that make absolutely no noise (except for your breath, of course!)

I have that same issue. I have people living underneath me. I do have an exercise DVD, but some things I simply can't do because of this. We live in an old building, and if I jump lightly in one end of the room, I can hear cabinets clatter in the other end.
However, I CAN do some of the exercises, and I will. I do, however, try to work out when there is nobody downstairs and try to make things work out.
Also, my exercise bike is noise less. If you're simply talking about burning some calories, this might be a good way to go. No jumping.

use the stairs for cardio, and inside do strength training and yoga/pilates, no noise there. Get an exercise ball if you don't want to do exercises on the floor. Best of luck to you!

I've lived above someone in an apartment before and I hate that everything you do, you have to think if it's going to make too much noise because of the people downstairs. I've been doing Tiffany Rothe workouts on YouTube. They are actually really fun and they WORK! I do them after the kids are in bed sometimes so I know they are quiet. My elliptical is too squeaky to use after they go to bed.

I don't have anyone living below me but there really isn't much noise with the Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown DVD I have...it's an oldie but a goodie. You definitely get the cardio in and it's actually pretty difficult if you've never done yoga before. It gives you things to work up to!
I think we found it at Walmart for around $10. Other than that, exercising outside feels awesome.

Sparkpeople.com's Coach Nicole has "chair workouts" that will get your heart rate up pretty well. I have tried it. It feels silly at first but it is fun and will actually get you out of breath pretty quickly. Their workout videos are free, and this particular one is done seated in a chair. No noise at all.

I have this same problem when I do a RIPPED workout DVD about once a week. There is a lot of jumping and noisy cardio. So, I do it barefoot to minimize the amount of noise I am making. It has actually helped me work on my balance and strength in my legs. Having to focus on not crashing down hard and having to really follow through on your movements seems to help!
I also make sure that I am exercising at reasonable hours, not after 7pm or before 10am if I can help it. If I can't then I'll go for a run outside or to the gym instead.

This series shows you how to develop event-driven web applications using Reverse Ajax techniques. Part 1 introduced Reverse Ajax, polling, streaming, Comet, and long polling. Part 2 explained how to implement Reverse Ajax using WebSockets and discussed the limitations of web servers using Comet and WebSockets. Part 3 showed that implementing your own Comet or WebSockets communication system can be difficult if you need to support several servers or provide an independent web application for users to deploy on their own server. Even if the JavaScript code on the client side is simple, you would need some exception handling, reconnection, and acknowledgement features. On the server side, the lack of a global API and the multiple web server APIs lead to the need for frameworks, which brings an abstraction. Part 3 also discussed Socket.IO.
In this article, learn about Atmosphere and CometD. They are the most widely known open source Reverse Ajax libraries for Java servers.
You can download the source code used in this article.
Ideally, to get the most out of this article, you should know JavaScript and Java. To run the sample in the article, you will also need the latest version of Maven and the JDK (see Resources).
The Atmosphere framework
Atmosphere is a Java technolog framework that provides a common API for using the Comet and WebSocket features of many of the web servers, including Tomcat, Jetty, GlassFish, Weblogic, Grizzly, JBossWeb, JBoss, and Resin. Any web server supporting the Servlet 3.0 Specification is also supported. Of the frameworks presented in this series of articles, Atmosphere supports the most servers.
Atmosphere can detect native server APIs (for Comet and WebSockets) and switch back to Servlet 3.0, if available, for Comet. Or, also for Comet, it will fall back to a "managed" asynchronous mode (but not as scalable as Jetty Continuations). Atmosphere has been around for more than two years, and it is still in active development. It is used in large web applications such as JIRA, which is one of the best known issue trackers. Figure 1 shows the Atmosphere architecture.
Figure 1. Architectural view of Atmosphere
The Atmosphere framework is composed of the Atmosphere runtime, which
provides a common API for all different web server solutions and
standards. On top of this, the client can access the API and Reverse Ajax
features through the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) by setting up a mere
servlet. Or, you can also use Jersey, a framework implementing the JSR-311
(JAX-RS specification). Thus, Atmosphere can be used in restful services
with additional annotations provided. After configuring your chosen
module, you can then access the Atmosphere runtime by implementing some
classes (discussed later in this article). You can also optionally use
some provided plugins that add support for clustering, messaging,
dependency injection, and more. If you're using a web framework (Wicket,
Struts, Spring MVC), you can transparently add Reverse Ajax support by
using the MeteorServlet of Atmosphere. This servlet exposes a
object that can be retrieved within your
controllers and services to suspend or resume the requests.
Atmosphere's strength remains on the server side: it provides a standardized API that covers all of the different solutions and ways to communicate with WebSockets or Comet. Atmosphere does not use a protocol between the client and server, like Socket.IO and CometD. Both libraries provide a client-side JavaScript and a server-side servlet that communicate using a specific protocol (for handshaking, messaging, acknowledgment, and heartbeat). Atmosphere's goal is to provide a common communication channel on the server side. If you need to use a specific protocol, such as Bayeux (a protocol used by CometD), you have to develop your own "handler" in Atmosphere. The CometD plugin does just that: it takes advantage of Atmosphere's API to suspend and resume the requests, and it delegates to CometD classes to manage the CometD communication using the Bayeux protocol.
Atmosphere comes with a jQuery client library to facilitate the connection setup, which is able to automatically detect the best transport available (WebSockets or CometD). Usage of Atmosphere's jQuery plugin is similar to the HTML5 WebSockets API. First, you connect to the server, register a callback to receive messages, and then you can push some data.
The source code included with this article contains an Atmosphere sample that directly uses a handler with the Atmosphere servlet. The client code is always the same; it's the same code used in Parts 1, 2, and 3 of this series (in the chat samples using Comet long polling). You could have used Atmosphere's jQuery plugin, but it's not required because Atmosphere does not enforce any communication protocol. It is strongly suggested that you look at the other examples in Atmosphere's project, especially those using JSR-311 annotations (Jersey). They really simplify the writing of handlers.
Listing 1 shows the Atmosphere handler interface.
Listing 1. AtmosphereHandler
public interface AtmosphereHandler<F, G> { void onRequest(AtmosphereResource<F, G> resource) throws IOException; void onStateChange(AtmosphereResourceEvent<F, G> event) throws IOException; void destroy(); }
The onRequest
method receives all requests from
the client and decides whether to suspend or resume them (or do nothing).
Each time a request is suspended or resumed, a broadcast is sent, or a
timeout occurs, an event is sent and received by the
The implementation of the onRequest
method for
the Comet chat is shown in Listing 2.
Listing 2. AtmosphereHandler
interface - onRequest
Broadcaster broadcaster = BroadcasterFactory.getDefault().lookup( DefaultBroadcaster.class, ChatHandler.class.getName(), true); broadcaster.setScope(Broadcaster.SCOPE.APPLICATION); resource.setBroadcaster(broadcaster); HttpServletRequest req = resource.getRequest(); String user = (String) req.getSession().getAttribute("user"); if (user != null) { if ("GET".equals(req.getMethod())) { resource.suspend(-1, false); } else if ("POST".equals(req.getMethod())) { String cmd = req.getParameter("cmd"); String message = req.getParameter("message"); if ("disconnect".equals(cmd)) { close(resource); } else if (message != null && message.trim().length() > 0) { broadcaster.broadcast("[" + user + "] " + message); } } }
A typical convention is to suspend GET requests and send messages using
POST requests. When a message is received, it is broadcast to all
resources registered within the broadcaster. Notice that the example never
writes anything to the HttpServlet
stream. The broadcast or suspend action just sends events received by the
other method implemented, as shown in Listing 3:
Listing 3. AtmosphereHandler
interface - onStateChange
Broadcaster broadcaster = BroadcasterFactory.getDefault().lookup( DefaultBroadcaster.class, ChatHandler.class.getName(), true); // Client closed the connection. if (event.isCancelled()) { close(event.getResource()); return; } try { String message = (String) event.getMessage(); if (message != null) { PrintWriter writer = event.getResource().getResponse().getWriter(); writer.write(message); writer.flush(); } } finally { if (!event.isResumedOnTimeout()) { event.getResource().resume(); } }
And now you have all you need for a working Comet chat. To summarize, the important Atmosphere concepts are: the resource object representing the connection, and a broadcaster responsible for firing events to resources and deciding when to suspend or resume a request. Note that the example is Comet only. To be able to use WebSockets and Comet, a client-side library should be used and a more complex handler would be needed.
Table 1 outlines the pros and cons of using the Atmosphere framework.
Table 1. Pros and cons of Atmosphere
Pros | Cons |
The CometD framework
CometD's event-driven approach fits very well with the new concept of event-driven web development. As with traditional desktop user interfaces, all of the components communicate through a bus to send notifications and receive events. All communication is therefore asynchronous.
The CometD framework:
- Is well-documented.
- Provides samples and Maven archetypes to facilitate the startup of a project.
- Has a well-designed API that enables extension development.
- Provides a clustering module, called Oort, that gives you the ability to run multiple CometD web servers as nodes in a cluster behind a load balancer to scale to a larger number of HTTP connections.
- Supports security policies to allow a fine-grain configuration of who can send messages over which channel.
- Integrates quite well with Spring and Google Guice (dependency injection frameworks).
Bayeux protocol
The Bayeux communication protocol is primarily over HTTP. It asynchronously provides a responsive bi-directional communication between the client and server. The Bayeux protocol is based on channels where messages are routed and delivered client to server, server to client, or client to client (but through the server). Bayeux is a type of publish-subscribe protocol. CometD implements the Bayeux protocol, and thus provides an abstraction layer on top of Comet and WebSocket transports to route requests through Bayeux.
Servers and internals
CometD is bundled with three transports: JSON, JSONP, and WebSocket. They depend upon Jetty Continuations and the Jetty WebSocket API. By default, CometD can be used in Jetty 6, 7, and 8, as well as any other servers supporting the Servlet 3.0 Specification. Transports can be added and developed in the same way as extensions. You should be able to write transports supporting the Grizzly WebSocket API and others, and then add them at the step where the CometD server is configured. Figure 2 shows an overview of the main CometD blocks.
Figure 2. Architectural view of CometD
The security layer to access message channels is not shown in Figure 2.
The source code provided with this article includes a web application using CometD. The web application's descriptor contains the definition in Listing 4 for the chat example.
Listing 4. web.xml
<servlet> <servlet-name>cometd</servlet-name> <servlet-class> org.cometd.java.annotation.AnnotationCometdServlet </servlet-class> <async-supported>true</async-supported> [...] <init-param> <param-name>services</param-name> <param-value>ChatService</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>transports</param-name> <param-value> com.ovea.cometd.websocket.jetty8.Jetty8WebSocketTransport </param-value> </init-param> </servlet>
The CometD servlet supports several options controlling global settings,
such as the ability to set transports and services. In the example, assume
you want to add WebSocket support for Jetty 8. The CometD service class
on the server side will control the
chatroom where everyone is speaking, as shown in Listing 5:
Listing 5. CometD ChatService
@Service public final class ChatService { @Inject BayeuxServer server; @PostConstruct void init() { server.addListener(new BayeuxServer.SessionListener() { @Override public void sessionAdded(ServerSession session) { [...] } @Override public void sessionRemoved(ServerSession session, boolean timedout) { [...] } }); } @Configure("/**") void any(ConfigurableServerChannel channel) { channel.addAuthorizer(GrantAuthorizer.GRANT_NONE); } @Configure("/chatroom") void configure(ConfigurableServerChannel channel) { channel.addAuthorizer(new Authorizer() { @Override public Result authorize( [..] // check that the user is in session } }); } @Listener("/chatroom") void appendUser(ServerSession remote, ServerMessage.Mutable message) { [...] } }
Listing 5 demonstrates some of the important features of CometD, including:
- Dependency injection
- Life cycle management
- Global channel configuration
- Security management
- Message transformation (to add the user name before all messages)
- Session management
On the client side, the example did not activate any extension -- just the raw CometD code, as shown in Listing 6:
Listing 6. CometD client code
// First create t cometd object and configure it var cometd = new $.Cometd('CometD chat client'); cometd.configure({ url: document.location + 'cometd', logLevel: 'debug' }); cometd.websocketEnabled = 'WebSocket' in window; // Then we register some listeners. Meta channels (those with // the form /meta/<name> are specific reserved channels) cometd.addListener('/meta/disconnect', function(message) { [...] }); cometd.addListener('/meta/connect', function(message) { [...] }); // Then, starting a connexion can be done using: cometd.handshake(); // And subscriptions with: cometd.subscribe('/chatroom', function(event) { [...] // event.data holds the message }); // We finally send data to the chatroom like this: cometd.publish('/chatroom', msg);
CometD's client-side API is simple to use and understand, while remaining powerful and extensible. This article only covers the major parts of the web application, so check out the example application to get a better idea of the power of CometD.
Table 2 outlines the pros and cons of using the CometD framework.
Table 2. Pros and cons of CometD
Pros | Cons |
CometD offers a complete solution, from client and server side, and also from a standalone Java client to a server. The framework is well-documented, has a good API, and is easy to use. Best of all, it has an event-driven approach. CometD and Bayeux are part of many event-driven web applications. Other Reverse Ajax frameworks don't provide any event-driven mechanisms, forcing end users to develop their own custom solution. CometD supports many required features, such as reconnection, reliable timeout detection, back-off, batching, message acknowledgement, and more that you won't find in other Reverse Ajax frameworks. CometD lets you achieve the most reliable, low-latency communication possible. | CometD currently does not support any Servlet 2.5 containers other than Jetty for Comet (Tomcat), and it does not support Glassfish/Grizzly WebSocket. |
Both Atmosphere and CometD are solid, open source Reverse Ajax solutions. At Ovea, our choice is CometD because we develop scalable event-driven web applications for mobile devices within a clustered environment, and we have total control over the infrastructure (we use Jetty). However, without additional development, CometD might not be the best choice if you are selling web applications and want your Reverse Ajax features to work on as many servers as possible. But knowing that more and more Web containers now support the Servlet Specification 3.0, CometD's limitation tends to decrease. Speaking about the transport layer, the main remaining difference now relies on the WebSocket support.

I cant imagine having a better wedding make up. She made me feel beautiful and look like a bride. I was so happy. Joanna was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I would recommend her over and over. Thank you for making me fabulous on my wedding day. HAPPY BRIDE
Wedding: 10/1/2011
We used Joanna for all of our wedding day make-up needs. She made my bridesmaids, my moms and myself look absolutely gorgeous. She has a keen ability to make each lady look their personal best without looking "made-up". The make-up felt great on and looked fabulous until the very end of the night! I also had her do my make-up for my bridal portraits and both times I was so happy with the look! Thanks Joanna for making us all look beautiful on my wedding day!
Cresta, Thank you so much for the kind words. It was so much fun prepping such a fabulous group of ladies. I look foward to seeing pics! Thanks! Joanna

Cari, Thank you so much....you are the best!
Wedding: 9/17/2011
Joanna is amazing! Joanna had done my makeup before and I was lucky enough that she agreed to travel several states to do my makeup for my wedding. She is so professional and so skilled that I couldn't imagine anyone else doing it for such a big day. She worked on my bridal party and family to make it a perfect day. She also discreetly touched me up throughout the evening to make sure I continued to look my best. Joann is just the best!
Lindy, You are so sweet! Thanks for the kind words and btw....your wedding was awesome! Great location and beautifully decorated! I would love to have some pics of you for my website!! Talk to you soon and take care!
Wedding: 9/25/2011
Joanna was a joy to work with. She was so professional and knowledgeable! She had some really neat stories about people she's worked with (like Hugh Jackman who my Mom and I love!) and she did a great job making myself and my bridesmaids feel like super stars. Loved her and am recommending her to my other friends getting married!
Rachel,It was such a pleasure to be part of your big day! Thank you so much and I look forward to seeing pictures!

Released as a TV-movie.
Cartoon Network directors Chris Savino and Dave Smith were looking for a unique way to present Fred Flintstone's "dream sequence" in this cel-animated feature film.
The idea was to capture a "View-Master reel come to life" while retaining the limited animation feel of the original Hanna-Barbera cartoons. "It was a job made for our sensibilities," said animation studio Screen Novelties.
The stop-motion sequence illustrates Fred's dream of winning a head-to-head match in a Stone Age bowling alley. When the jealous opponent kidnaps the trophy girl, Fred calmly saves the day with a well-aimed bowling ball.

Temple Grandin: How the Girl Who Loved Cows Embraced Autism and Changed the World (Hardcover)
On Our Shelves Now
When Temple Grandin was born, her parents knew that she was different. Years later she was diagnosed with autism.
While Temple's doctor recommended a hospital, her mother believed in her. Temple went to school instead.
Today, Dr. Temple Grandin is a scientist and professor of animal science at Colorado State University. Her world-changing career revolutionized the livestock industry. As an advocate for autism, Temple uses her experience as an example of the unique contributions that autistic people can make.
This compelling biography complete with Temple's personal photos takes us inside her extraordinary mind and opens the door to a broader understanding of autism.
About the Author
TEMPLE GRANDIN earned her Ph.D. in animal science from the University of Illinois and went on to become a professor at Colorado State University. She is the author of four previous books, including the national bestsellers Thinking in Pictures and Animals in Translation.

Through her company, Grandin Livestock Systems, she works with the country's fast-food purveyors to monitor the conditions of animal facilities worldwide. She lectures widely on both animal science and autism.

AMS 390 • Interdisciplinary Explorations of Children, Childhood, and Youth
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
30060 |
Mickenberg |
Course Description
Children, childhood and youth serve as ready containers for a range of anxieties, values, and hopes, making them rich subjects for scholars of American culture and society. And the process of educating and socializing the young--what children are taught, how they are taught, and why they are taught one thing and not another--distills fundamental social concerns and mores down to their essence. As one scholar has put it: "'the richest setting for discovering the rules of a society are those where novices of one sort or another are being instructed in appropriate behavior.'" The study of children, youth, education, and the discourses around them gives us basic insights into the ways in which gender, class, race and ethnicity are socialized; into the ways in which national identity is constructed and transmitted; into how consumer identities are created through marketing; into the social significance of "moral panics" over youth; and into the rationale for censorship and cultural control. This course will consider a range of classic and recent writing and scholarship on children, childhood, education, and children's culture, paying special attention to the ways in which such works offers a basis for interdisciplinary inquiry such as that undertaken in American Studies. Although historically focused, our readings will encompass literary, educational, psychological, sociological, ethnographic, and cultural/media studies approaches, with particular focus upon gender and the formation of gender identities. The course is geared toward giving students a grasp of central readings and issues in the field of childhood studies while also offering the opportunity to undertake significant research, hopefully leading to a publishable piece of writing.

Palace fans set to stage protest
More than 200 people are expected to march to Selhurst Park on November 28 and hand over a petition to chairman Simon Jordan. The petition asks for Jordan to change the stewarding of the Holmesdale Fanatics, a group of fans who sit in Block B of the Holmesdale Stand. The petition was started after seven fans in the area were ejected by the police and stewards during the 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough. Mike Grafton, organiser of the petition, suggests that this approach to crowd control may have also led to recent low attendances. He told the Croydon Guardian: "We have started the petition to call on Jordan to change the policing and stewarding and be more respectful to fans as young people are being alienated by the way they are being treated by stewards. "There are a few reasons why fans are staying away with stewarding, policing and prices the main three."

ASAP Science asks one of the most important questions in nutrition: According to science, what's better for you, butter or margarine? Not what's better in general, obviously, because that's a laughably easy question to answer.
They break it down thusly: Butter has one or two ingredients and is minimally processed but is high in saturated fat; margarine has a ton of ingredients and is extremely processed, is sometimes high in trans fats but sometimes not, and it's hard to tell what its nutritional value is because there's a lot of variation. So, bottom-line, it depends on what your nutrition goals are and how good you are at moderating what I can only assume are your unstoppable cravings for butter. Keep reading »

IIT announces $30-million Innovation Center
The Illinois Institute of Technology announced last week that they will break ground next year on a 5-story "innovation center" at the university's Bronzeville campus in Chicago. The new 100,000-square-foot building will overlook the Dan Ryan Expressway and will house academic classrooms as well as resources for entrepreneurs.
"It will combine the power of higher education," said IIT President John Anderson, "with Chicago-style imagination, determination and boldness to fuel innovation."
The center will house IIT's Interprofessional Projects Program as well as high-tech workshops and computer labs. IIT will also provide space for companies at University Technology Park.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel was present for the announcement, eager to tout Chicago's growing business community. City support will provide cost savings that Anderson said will translate into twice as many Chicago Public Schools students in its summer programs for high school students.

time, this is instantaneous, due to the extra melanin in the skin being activated to protect your skin cells.
The solution: By Terry Hyaluronic Hydra-Powder. Infused with hyaluronic acid, this helps the skin repair itself, while delivering all-important hydration and covering dark marks, thanks to its light pigment. Ultra-fine silica micro-beads fill in fine lines, too.Best for Dark/Afro Caribbean skin:
The concerns: Pigmentation and breakouts. "While Afro-Caribbean skin has a built-in SPF and can withstand UV better than pale skin types, its high melanin levels mean that darker patches from sun and environmental damage are more likely to appear," says Dr Bunting. The level of oil produced by the skin is higher as well, which can lead to breakouts, so sensitive formulas that also keep excess oil at bay are essential.
The solution: BareMinerals Ready SPF 15 Touch Up Veil. While darker skin tones have a natural SPF of around 13, getting even coveragecan be tricky. Apply this powder after foundation to reduce shine and even out any imperfections. The added SeaNutritive Minerals soothe and nourish.
Best for Asian skin:
The concerns: Pigmentation and shine. Asian skin suffers less from wrinkles and sagging, but uneven skin tone, age spots and sun damage are problems. High pollution in some Asian cities also means a good SPF is essential.
The solution: Clinique Superbalanced Powder Makeup SPF 15. This one-shade-suits-all powder is great for evening out skin tone and reducing oiliness. It enhances the effects of your base, giving a velvet finish. A lack of chemicals makes it a great option for skin that may be suffering from exposure to pollution.Best for Middle Eastern skin:
The concerns: Pigmentation and dull, yellow-toned skin. Middle Eastern skin types can remain fairly pale by generally avoiding
the sun. "But melanin levels that exist in the skin mean that exposure to sun or free radicals can lead to pigmentation patches," says Dr Bunting. On the plus side, fine lines are less common, but yellowish undertones can appear if skin is dehydrated.
The solution: Clarins Instant Light Complexion Perfector. Packed with 3D pigments held in silicone to even out bumps, light-diffusing particles lift and brighten the skin.Best for Indian skin:
The concerns: Pigmentation, enlarged pores and breakouts. India's climate makes a daily 30+ SPF essential, plus perspiration or overheating can aggravate skin. Sun exposure and high pollution levels make pigmentation and discoloration common.
The solution: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder. In six shades, this light-diffusing powder suits any skin tone. 'Photoluminescent technology' uses tiny particles to reflect light, create transparent coverage and even out skin without clogging pores.FOR FLAWLESS SKIN
whatever your skin type,
there is a skin veil for you-

Hornet Marine President David Hartmann got his taste for boat design from his father, Hal, an engineer who helped create the smooth-riding deep-vee hull now included on each Hornet 17 speedboat. Today, the 17-foot seacrafts zip through the water with help from Mercury MerCruiser engines, each carrying up to five passengers perched on custom upholstery. Hornet Marine invites landlubbers on factory tours and test drives at its headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut, where a staff of nautical experts also keep ships shipshape with oil changes, detailing, and other boat-maintenance services.
The attendants at Paddleworks equip patrons with paddles and paddleboards and then send them out onto the calm waters of Clinton Harbor. But folks who need a little guidance can rest easy. Before novices begin a paddling session, they can enroll in one of the free 15-minute intro classes that the company holds every day of the week. For people who have their sea legs squarely underneath them, Paddleworks offers a unorthodox events and classes. Clients can jump into anything from SUP yoga lessons and races to bootcamp?a much safer way to turn up the intensity than writing "Come Get It, Sharks" on the bottom of the board. Committed paddlers might also look into purchasing equipment of their own from the shop, which is stocked with gear from brands such as Jimmy Lewis, Dakine, and GoPro.
Those who follow Deerfield River westward from the Catamount State Forest to the Mohawk Trail State Forest travel through the hilly terrain of historic Charlemont. There, in 1989, the Berkshire Mountains and other geographical spoils caught the eyes of Bruce Lessels and Karen Blom—a medaling member of the US whitewater team and a public health nutritionist looking to make the outdoors more accessible. They built Zoar Outdoor on the river, establishing an 80-acre facility to be a base for ziplining, rock climbing, camping, and solar-powered lodging. Today, a staff of adventurers keeps that base running. They not only sell an arsenal of outdoor gear and continue those establishing activities, but also lead whitewater rafting and kayaking trips down their home river, slicing through the waves and rearranging a slew of fishes' living rooms along the way.
The Boat Locker, founded in 1957, continues to furnish all manners of outdoor activities with boats and boating gear alongside an extensive stock of snowboards, standup paddleboards, and accessories. Careen across wintry slopes or down carpeted escalators atop a selection of Arbor snowboards ($299+) while outfitted in Burton boots, binding, and apparel ($20+). Standup paddleboards ($799+) surf down shores while sets of Anon goggles ($65+) shield eyes from chilly mountain breezes. The protective lenses of pairs of Kaenon, Maui Jim, Oakley and Gill sunglasses ($70+) safeguard wearers' mugs against harsh elements when snowboarding or after accidentally falling face-first into the office koi pond.
Crab Apple Whitewater sends adventure seekers on river-bound thrill rides daily from early April through mid-October using inflatable kayaks for Class I?II rapids and larger group rafts for Class II?IV rapids. Crab Apple Whitewater charts routes through the Berkshire Mountains on rivers such as the Deerfield, making use of natural flows and daily dam releases in order to control the challenge for kayakers and rafters of all skill levels. Trips are consistent due to dam control, but vary based on interpretations of fortunes found in the guide?s tea leaves the night before. All adventurers strap on provided helmets and life jackets and attend a safety lecture prior to casting off.

Looks like Project Cars will be coming to the Wii U. While it hasn't been said outright, Slightly Mad Studios, the developer behind Need for Speed: Shift, slapped a Wii U logo on its official website. It seems the game, which is being designed around community input, will be coming to PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and now Nintendo's new system.
Project Cars has had an unusual development cycle. The tellingly named Slightly Mad Studios has been designing the game without a publisher, instead letting the gaming community take that role. Gamers can offer feedback, or contribute lines of code and venture capital to become an official investor in the project. For more information, check out the blog.
Slightly Mad plans to release early builds of the game to garner feedback. A retail release was always planned, and now it appears Nintendo's Wii U will be part of the picture. This announcement carries weight not only because of Project Cars' unique development cycle, but because any news surrounding the Wii U's release line-up has been scarce. The question now arises: What kind of plastic steering wheel will Nintendo support for this title?

Nucla ordinance requiring gun ownership could be challenged by Brady Center
Earlier this month, the town of Nucla passed a rule requiring heads of households to own guns.
Nucla isn't the first community to issue such an edict: It's following the lead of Nelson, Georgia, whose recently approved ordinance has already prompted a lawsuit from the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence (see the complete suit and ordinance below). And a Brady Center representative tells us the organization hasn't ruled out suing Nucla, too.
Says Jonathan Lowy, the director of the center's legal action project, "We're looking into and analyzing the Nucla ordinance to see if it's something we can get involved in."
According to the Montrose Press, the Nucla rule, which was approved by a 5-1 vote of the town's council, features text that almost duplicates the Nelson ordinance. The latter is a one-page document that portrays the requirement of household heads to own a firearm as a way to "provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants."Some of the stunning scenery near Nucla, on Colorado's Western Slope.
The only individuals exempted from the regulation are otherwise qualifying individuals who "suffer a physical or mental disability which would prohibit them from using such a firearm," plus "paupers" (those who can't afford a gat, presumably), former felons, and individuals who "conscientiously oppose maintaining firearms as a result of beliefs or religious doctrine" -- language that recalls common parlance related to the Vietnam-era military draft.
The sole Nucla official to vote against the ordinance reportedly did so because he found it to be merely symbolic, as well as unenforceable. But it still troubles the Brady Center's Lowy.
"We believe it's unconstitutional to require people to buy firearms and bring them into their home," Lowy says. "Just as there is a constitutional right under Supreme Court rulings for law-abiding, responsible citizens to have a gun in their home if they choose, there's also a right for law-abiding, responsible citizens to choose not to have a firearm in their home."Jonathan Lowy.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And after these things I saw another messenger coming down out of the heaven, having great authority, and the earth was lightened from his glory, | 1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. |
2 and he did cry in might -- a great voice, saying, `Fall, fall did Babylon the great, and she became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird, | 2 With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. |
3 because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom have all the nations drunk, and the kings of the earth with her did commit whoredom, and merchants of the earth from the power of her revel were made rich. | 3 For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries." |
4 And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, `Come forth out of her, My people, that ye may not partake with her sins, and that ye may not receive of her plagues, | 4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; |
5 because her sins did follow -- unto the heaven, and God did remember her unrighteousness. | 5 for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. |
6 Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did mingle mingle to her double. | 6 Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup. |
7 `As much as she did glorify herself and did revel, so much torment and sorrow give to her, because in her heart she saith, I sit a queen, and a widow I am not, and sorrow I shall not see; | 7 Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.' |
8 because of this, in one day, shall come her plagues, death, and sorrow, and famine; and in fire she shall be utterly burned, because strong [is] the Lord God who is judging her; | 8 Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. |
9 and weep over her, and smite themselves for her, shall the kings of the earth, who with her did commit whoredom and did revel, when they may see the smoke of her burning, | 9 "When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. |
10 from afar having stood because of the fear of her torment, saying, Wo, wo, the great city! Babylon, the strong city! because in one hour did come thy judgment. | 10 Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come!' |
11 `And the merchants of the earth shall weep and sorrow over her, because their lading no one doth buy any more; | 11 "The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more-- |
12 lading of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyne wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and brass, and iron, and marble, | 12 cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; |
13 and cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies and souls of men. | 13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men. |
14 `And the fruits of the desire of thy soul did go away from thee, and all things -- the dainty and the bright -- did go away from thee, and no more at all mayest thou find them. | 14 "They will say, 'The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.' |
15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, far off shall stand because of the fear of her torment, weeping, and sorrowing, | 15 The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn |
16 and saying, Wo, wo, the great city, that was arrayed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls -- because in one hour so much riches were made waste! | 16 and cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! |
17 `And every shipmaster, and all the company upon the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea, far off stood, | 17 In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!' "Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. |
18 and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like to the great city? | 18 When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city?' |
19 and they did cast dust upon their heads, and were crying out, weeping and sorrowing, saying, Wo, wo, the great city! in which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness -- for in one hour was she made waste. | 19 They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin! |
20 `Be glad over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets, because God did judge your judgment of her!' | 20 Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you.' " |
21 And one strong messenger did take up a stone as a great millstone, and did cast [it] to the sea, saying, `Thus with violence shall Babylon be cast, the great city, and may not be found any more at all; | 21 Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: "With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again. |
22 and voice of harpers, and musicians, and pipers, and trumpeters, may not be heard at all in thee any more; and any artizan of any art may not be found at all in thee any more; and noise of a millstone may not be heard at all in thee any more; | 22 The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. |
23 and light of a lamp may not shine at all in thee any more; and voice of bridegroom and of bride may not be heard at all in thee any more; because thy merchants were the great ones of the earth, because in thy sorcery were all the nations led astray, | 23 The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world's great men. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray. |
24 and in her blood of prophets and of saints was found, and of all those who have been slain on the earth.' | 24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth." |

Hello all, I took my fig trees out of the garge about 2 weeks ago. We have been having real warm temps here in Chicago land the last couple of weeks. My trees are budding out and the leaves are staring to form out. Also new little figs are starting to come out too. I don't know the name, I bought them 3 summers ago at Lowes, with just cold hardly fig tree lable on it. The trees are growing great, last year I had alot of figs for the little tree that I have.
So, do I remove this little figs or let them grow? thanks Frank |
Follow-Up Postings:
Its normal leave them on now and eat them later. |
These are probably breba figs. Some cultivars shed them over time while others dont. I say leave them on and see what happens (especially if they are desert king and if you remove them you won't get any figs this year). |
Hi Fespo, im just south of chicago and get breba that first crop of figs is what your getting now mine rarely ripen because of quick changes in our weather that can get cold and they fall in time and waste energy. I have left some on but only a few have made it for me to ripen stage. If you take them off in the end you wont be missing much as the main crop in fall taste much better for many variety's anyways and energy saved will help the tree in the season ahead. Beautiful weather we are having but its about to change starting tomorrow night when night lows will be in 30s and more normal high 50 to low 60 temps. Martin |
OK I posted a question about my fig trees in another thread, but this one raises more questions (dang I need to learn about figs!) One of my trees is bare (no leaves etc). The other is bare of leaves but has had little figs on it all winter. Lots and lots of them....will that reduce this year's crop? Arghhhh this danged garden is going to get the best of me LOL Do fig trees look different depending on the type??? If I posted a pic of my two would it be easy to tell the difference or is it impossible given they're bare.... It's pretty mild here (pacific northwest) but we did have some pretty cold temps this winter (for here...my other house is alaska so in comparison it's warm always here LOL) Would those have damaged the crop????? |

Maciulis: Heidecke Lake a true outdoors gem
By Bob Maciulis For Sun-Times Media July 4, 2014 10:57PM
It looks like more dawns on Heidecke Lake will be forthcoming for fisherman and hunters in northeast Illinois. Credit: Dale Bowman
Updated: August 7, 2014 6:44AM
It's a fitting story during a weekend when we celebrate America's unique freedoms.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, that would include what was the cornerstone of our culture: Our great hunting and fishing traditions, living within the environment not from it and our yearning for self-reliance.
For many years Exelon Generation was known as Midwest Generating. It was the parent company which owned Collins Station. That was the coal-fired generating facility east of Morris, surrounded by the vast natural prairie grasslands that once covered the Midwest.
The generating process required water to cool its generators, so a large, perched reservoir was built alongside it.
In 1978, Midwest Generating signed a long-term lease with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (then the Illinois Conservation Department) and it opened 1,300 acres for recreational fishing.
Within weeks, Hedeicke Lake was the talk of the entire Midwest and began to attract anglers from throughout the Midwest. The fishing was that incredible.
Some years ago, the parent company announced it planned to mothball the plant at the end of that year and area anglers were shocked at the prospect they might lose the phenomenal "backyard fishery".
Will Heidecke Lake remain open until its traditional seasonal closing in October? Will the lake be open for the waterfowling season? What if access is increased for year-round fishing? Can you imagine an ice fishing season on a frozen cooling lake?
Some time ago, we sat down with Ed Rieck to discuss the fishery at this remarkable close-to-home impoundment.
Ed has fished the 3-mile-long cooling lake since it opened. He spent years guiding on it, has caught countless fish of all species from it over the years, including a state record hybrid striped bass. Ed also has worked at the Goose Lake Prairie State Area as a Ranger, so his familiarity with the lake and the recreational resources it provides for northern Illinoisans is broad-based, and his knowledge of the fishery is as good as one will find.
The following is a summary of our conversation about Heidecke Lake, about its fishery, about the secrets Ed has unraveled over the years and of how you can catch more and larger fish on this lake.
Each of the three northern Illinois cooling lakes is different from the others, like each of the generating facilities they serve is different.
Braidwood, LaSalle, even nearby Clinton, were and remain all very different from Heidecke, despite that they share the common trait of being impoundments built to supply generating facilities with cooling water. That aspect of these cooling lakes makes them very different from natural lakes —although since the generating plant was torn down, Heidecke is more like a natural lake, because its bottom contours and elevation specifically were designed to catch the wind. It can cool down in less time than any natural lake.
It also can be treacherous, with waves topping out at six to eight feet.
Different does not always mean better, or easier to fish. Just different.
Understand those differences and how they affect the various species of fish that are stocked in these impoundments, and one could open the door to an incredible fishing experience.
Ed Rieck has provided us with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be that fly on the wall, to listen to a fisherman describe his home lake in great detail, holding nothing back.

text: I am just so excited I had to share, for the past month and lalf I have been on a mission to run. I have never been a runner, and even as a child/teen was unable to run due to severe childhood asthma. Well there was a competition at our gym that included running and teams, no one wanted to be my team mate and I figured it was due to be the super fat girl. No one thought I could keep up, I knew I couldn't keep up but I didn't want to feel like that again. So when they started the competition I started to work to running my first mile. About a month ago I finally made it to my 1 mile goal, it felt so great to be able to do that it was something I could never ever do before in my life. I kept at it everyday, adding more time and more miles. Then today I ran for 5 miles straight!! 5 miles it took me exactly 60 min but I did it and if I could have stayed longer in the gym I really believe I might have made it to 6 miles. I have never been so proud of myself before in my entire life, I just wanted to cry. Out of happiness of course :) It felt so good, I feel so good my 5th goal is to run a 10k and just a few more miles and I am there. A big goal of mine is to run a marathon and I now believe that I can do it and I will do it! I just wanted to share my victory and thank everyone here for their stories, and inspiration and motivation and advice. Thanks for taking the time to read this :)

AP News
Judge blocks Camden business curfew law
CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — Restaurants and stores in Camden, N.J. can continue staying open way past midnight — for now.
A judge issued a temporary restraining order Monday to stop enforcement of a curfew that calls for businesses near residential areas to close at 11 p.m. on weeknights and midnight on weekends.
The city passed the ordinance a year ago in hopes the curfew would help cut down on crime by having fewer people outside their homes at late hours. But that law has never been enforced.
Under the measure that is enforced, businesses can stay open until 4 a.m.
Business owners and activists are trying to stop the new law, saying it would drag down the businesses' money-making ability. Frank Fulbrook, a city activist who has often sued the city and other government entities and is now supporting the businesses, said some see much of their revenue come in late at night.
The issue is now on hold until a trial can be held to decide whether the ordinance is constitutional. The trial could be held later this year, though a date has not yet been set.
City spokesman Robert Corrales said officials are disappointed with Monday's ruling and want the full case to be heard soon.

I have a 2 year old Bearss Lime tree in a container that I got in April from a nursery that purchased from Four Winds. The last couple of weeks I have noticed the leaves are getting more yellow. Some of the leaves have always cupped the wrong way since purchasing. There are some holes on a few of the leaves that are new as well. I cannot find any pests (other than a few spiders....ewww). Fertilized today hoping that is what it needed. Last time I fertilized was probably 1-2 months ago. I have been using Dr.Earth Organic fertilizer. Dirt does not appear too wet or too dry but cant be 100% sure that is not the case. Any Idea what could be going on? |

Sunburn and or a lack of immediate working good balanced soluble fertilizer... The organics in a pot can burn your roots, smother them and cause yellowing leaves because the nutrients in them are not taken up by the plant as it should as in the ground, and even in there it can take quite a while with the right conditions... It needs a good fertilizer readily available as soon as possible if it's not sunburn I see... Did you just stick it in full sun? Did you acclimate it? Mike |
If you really want to stay organic, look for Espoma Citrus Tone; it is a very good product, albeit a bit pricey. |

Love the perennial Batchelor Buttons. One of the few perennials that flowers then reflowers. When it's done flowering the first time, cut down to a few inches and an entire new "crop" will grow and provide more flowers. Almost foolproof.Mine is certainly taller than 20"! Closer to 30+" so it does require staking.
Shipping begins in late March based on ground temperatures, warmest zones first.

33 year old man | Osseo, MN, USA | Seeking women 21-35 within 50 miles
Looking for a great addition to my life...
Ok I guess I must not be saying enough in my little greeting to get any emails or interested women, so I will try to make it more personal! I am new to this whole online dating scene, so please forgive me! My name is obviously Bryan and I just turned 32 on June 8! I am trying out this online dating experience in hopes of meeting a well rounded woman to potentially share a life together. I am tired of the same old repetitious drama that is included when it comes to relationships, so I have honestly become allergic to drama. As far as describing myself, I would say that people consider me giving, caring, respectful, devoted, honest, and extremely unselfish. I am willing to do anything for anyone I care about regardless of what it may be. I am also a very affectionate person. I like to show and tell the woman I'm with that she's beautiful, bring flowers for no reason, texts and phone calls. I try to make sure that my woman knows how I feel about her. I love to kiss, cuddle, and anything else that brings us closer together. Basically, I am a hopeless romantic that is searching for a woman that shares the same! I strive to make everyone happy that is in my life, that's why my two girls are very lucky. They are completely spoiled by their dad! I have two amazingly beautiful girls ages 7 and 3. They are my pride and joy! They are very well mannered and behaved! I like to think that I have taught them well! As far as my interests, I love MN sports teams and going to their games! I also enjoy the outdoors very much! My mother lives up north on Leech Lake so I spend many weekends going up there fishing, hunting, 4-wheeling, ice fishing, jet-skiing, boating, campfires, sunsets on the lake, and anything else related to the outdoors. I am hoping that I can find a woman that likes the outdoors as well. I also enjoy just taking it easy at home, having a nice family dinner and relaxing for the evening. I am a pretty easy going person, so I tend to go just go with the flow. As far as what I am looking for in a woman it's pretty simple. I just want a woman to make me happy! I hope that she would have qualities like honesty, caring, devoted, giving, faithful, willing to try new things, wholesome, affectionate, spontaneous, and a little wild at times to keep everything interesting and exciting. I am looking for a woman that "I could bring home to mom" I hope that she also shares similar interests and must love kids! Well I hope this gave a little more insight to who I am as a person and what I am looking for in a woman. I may not be the most attractive guy in the world, but I make up for it with my heart! I look forward to hearing from you and possible taking a chance in my life in meeting someone new! Thank you for viewing my profile!

Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra: "I Think There's Too Many Games, To Be Frank"
Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra says he's open to learning potential benefits gleaned from the NBA's 44-minute game experiment. As opposed to shortening individual contests by several minutes, though, Spoelstra makes it clear he would instead prefer if the league cut entire games from the 82-game regular season schedule.
