Alternative to Carlisle Wide Plank?
We like the look of Carlisle flooring..8-12" planks. Does anyone know of a brand that does this 'look' prefinished? Seems the wide plank at the local flooring store all has that beveled edge that make the floor look really lined and choppy. Has anyone found something similar to the Carisle wide look in stores prefinished?
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with anyone who goes as wide as you are looking for prefinished. However, I did get samples and quotes from Pennington Hardwoods, who would go up to 5 or 6 inches wide.
They were excellent and very easy to work with, and would do any color or sheen that I asked for and sent out samples of what I was looking for. We ended up going with a different/local supplier that we were able to get unfinished and finish ourselves for less money, but I wouldn't have hesitated to order from Pennington.
Good luck!

These are really neat and very reasonably priced. I got samples from these guys and they were great.

Thanks guys! Andi, what did you decide on a floor? I am not wanting to go too rustic, but want the charm of a wide plank floor. I liked the white oak at Carlisle, but not the price. Did you make a decision.
Yes, we are going with reclaimed wood floors - antique oak beam sawn. They were about 1/2 the price of your Carlisle quote. So, if you are interested, I'd definitely look into them. We are doing just the regular finish on the edges - so they are squared, not overly done! We are just finishing them with 3 coats of Waterlox - 2 Original coats and then the last coat in the satin finish.
Also, if you are doing hardwood stairs, get that pricing as well. I never even really thought about it til recently and I just bit the bullet on that extra cost. My builder was thinking we could do character grade oak to match close enough. And, he's probably right. No one else but me would know. But, I have to say, the waterlox on reclaimed oak is just to-die-for (imo)! So, we are also getting the stair treads and railings in the reclaimed also.

Oh Andi, thanks so much! This appears to be what I'm looking for. I like the Quarter Sawn White Oak in wide plank. How wide are you going? Im thinking maybe 10-12."
Is the waterlox applied onsite? I am unclear what waterlox is.
I really like the straight, non-beveled edges also. That is why I don't want a prefinished product from the regular flooring store. The planks look choppy and the edges are too deep. I prefer a more flat appearance. Those floors make me dizzy and some look plastic and unnatural.
I'm not Andi, but I have lots of experience with Waterlox! DH and I finished our 5" white oak floors with Waterlox and I am in the process of using it on all the window, door, and baseboard trim on the house.
Waterlox is a tung oil based product mixed with other stuff that makes is hard and "build" with multiple applications rather than just soak into the wood like true tung oil wood. We mixed our first coat of Waterlox with stain for a darker color on the floors and I am applying it on the trim after a conventional apply stain, then wipe off process. However, you can just use the Waterlox without stain for a lighter look. It will give a slight amber appearance to the wood however. Our floors have 2 coats original (first coat mixed with 1 part Minwax walnut stain to 5 parts Waterlox) and the 3rd coat is Waterlox, satin sheen.
Finishing our floor was once of the easiest diy projects that my husband and I did on this build. We had no experience with floor finishing and it was very easy for us, so I am sure an experienced, understanding installer should have no problems. If you want more detail on our application process, just let me know.
westiegirl - those floors are gorgeous!!!
farmhousegirl - we are actually going with 4.5 - 6.5 random width. The flooring is actually old barn beams sliced down to flooring, so the beams are only so wide to begin with. But, I just loved them, so I sacrificed the width we were originally going for (8-10"), for the beam sawn floors.

Hi, farmhousegirl!
I agreee with you that the bevelled edge is strange looking and probably a nightmare to keep clean. And speaking of crumbs and dog hair accumulating in the cracks and crevices of your floor, that was one reason I chose not to do wide plank floors. The wider the boards are the wider the cracks are when the boards contract. And then there is the added expense of gluing down the floors. And the higher chance of cupping and warping.
Since we had our floors made from our trees, we could have had any widths, but we chose to do a random width in 3, 4 and 5 inches. I think I mentionaed it before, but we also used muliple coats of waterlox and our floors are quartersawn white oak(no stain).
So I guess my alternative suggestion would be to think hard about the wide plank.

We ended up going with SimpleFloors wide plank oak handscraped floors. They use a technique where they put 3 pieces of wood together (tongue & groove) so they are 7.87" wide and beautiful. We've not installed them yet but I'm super excited about them!! And at $6.28/sf very affordable compared to others.

Gosh, thank you all so much for this information.
Westiegirl, what are your floors and where did you get them? That is the look we are going for. Buckhead, love your house and those floors! I agree with the issues on the wider planks warping, etc...so something we need to think about. Grace, thanks for the link on Simplefloors...very nice!
Floors really scare me. They can really change the entire feeling of a house! My friend did her beautiful 2 million dollar house in a wide plank, espresso wood that looks like plastic. It's so sad because the house looks just awful with that floor. It really would've had a better feel without that plastic look. I want to be really careful to avoid that.
Our floors are 5 inch wide "character grade" white oak. We purchased them unfinished from a supplier in Illinois that my husband had business relationship with. However, this type of white oak is readily available all over the country (I also checked out Hurst Hardwoods as an internet supplier, but never had any dealings with them).
Ours were just under $2.00 per square foot unfinished and I estimated that with the cost of our finishing products and sander rental the total cost after finishing was $3.50 per square foot, but that was considering our labor was free!
Because they are character grade, there are numerous knots scattered throughout them. When you see them unfinished, it is very scarey because the knot is so much darker than the unstained board. All of my family thought we were nuts to install them! Once stained then knots blend in and I think add to the unique look. The knots will collect bits of dust/dirt/etc. but they vacuum clean very easily. Our DD is the only one who complains about them. She is six and likes to dance and skip all over and will occasionally stub her toe or catch it in a knot.
We finished them ourselves. Rented a good quality floor sander for the weekend and sanded 3 times, each time going up to a higher grit. I think we started at 80 grit and ended at 160 grit, but my numbers might be off slightly. Between each sanding, I vacuumed them with the shop vac. After the last sanding, I vacuumed three times, finishing up with my household upright vacuum to make sure there was no dust left on the floor.
The first coat of finish was 5 parts original Waterlox and 1 part Minwax walnut stain, lightly stired together into a big mop bucket on wheels. We applied this mixture with a large lambs wool pad that looked like a dust mop. It is important to keep a wet edge and feather your laps strokes over each other so that the stain evenly spreads out. The second coat was applied approximately 24 hours later, again with the lambs wool pad and mop bucket, but this time it was just plain original Waterlox. The last coat was applied 5 days later (we were working on the weekends) and used the same method, but with satin Waterlox. Each coat took us approximately 2 hours to apply to 2000 square feet. The stain coat took slightly longer, the other coats took slightly less time. There is no need to sand between coats like you do with poly, which is my favorite part of working with it!
The first few coats can look splotchy and bad when dried. Because it is a tung oil based product, it soaks into the wood instead of sitting on the top like poly. Subsequent coats do not soak in as much and build more quickly. They start to feel more smooth and look more even.
You have now heard more about my floors than you ever wanted, but it really is one of my favorite things about the house and everyone comments positively on them now (they still ask about how I keep the knots clean!). Here is a different shot in darker lighting of our foyer with floors. You can see on the walls towards the bottom where we slopped the mixture onto the drywall. This is getting covered up as we apply the baseboard.
This pic is during installation prior to stain:
We have awesome wide plank floors up to 11.5" wide. The lengths are up to 120" and the average length is between 72-84". They give you the rustic look of Carlisle flooring but with a 40-year warranty and almost half the price!

(Boston) – As part of a three city U.S. tour, Cheol Woong Kim will come to Boston University's Tsai Performance Center on October 8 to help raise awareness for human rights in North Korea through music, film, and conversation. A piano prodigy and son of a ranking member of North Korea's powerful ruling Worker's Party, Cheol Woong Kim studied at the Pyongyang Music and Dance College and Moscow's Tchaikovsky Conservatory. In 1999, at age 27, he was named chief pianist of the Pyongyang Philharmonic Orchestra, and in 2001, he defected in search of musical freedom. Now living in South Korea, Kim tours the globe as a performer and activist to build awareness of the human rights crisis in his homeland.
The concert features Chopin's Nocturne No. 29 in C sharp minor and Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major, as well as the Korean folk song Arirang Sonata and North Korean composer Dong Choon Sung's Chosun is One. Arirang, a classic Korean folk song well known in both North and South Korea, is about a separation of lovers. "Arirang" is an ancient Korean word with no direct modern meaning, although "beautiful darling" may be the closest translation. The lyrics speak of bitter longing for a departed lover. Some say that Arirang expresses something called "han," a profound yearning or frustration of the Korean people. Chosun is One ("Korea is One") is one of the most representative pieces by a North Korean composer. This piece was premiered by a North Korean pianist who won a major international piano competition. Upon returning from this victorious event, North Korean leader Kim Il Sung asked that the young pianist enter the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition. The pianist, fully aware of the high international standard, requested more practice time before entering the competition. Kim Il Sung became angry that his order was not followed immediately and sentenced the talented pianist to ten years of hard labor.
The evening also features a video presentation of SungEun Han-Andersen's short documentary Voices Yet Unheard followed by remarks and Q & A with Cheol Woong Kim and SungEun Han-Andersen.
Presented by the U.S. Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, the National Endowment for Democracy and the G. Chris Andersen Family Foundation.

Craig Kilborn Joins Mark Hamill on the 'Chuck' Season 5 Premiere
Hot on the heels of signing 'Star Wars' legend
According to TVLine, Kilborn will be feeling the force alongside Hamill in the Season 5 premiere.
He'll play Roger Bale, a charming yet conniving investor who's stolen money from some of the world's most dangerous people. Oh, and it turns out that Roger's rather dangerous himself.
Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick Cast the ESPN Movie (VIDEO)
More surprising was that James Miller and Tom Shales' follow-up book about ESPN was just as riveting, and even led to a movie deal. So Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick decided to cast it on 'Countdown' (Weeknights, 8PM ET on Current TV).
'Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN' went just as deep into the inner workings of the little cable network that could, and because it's players aren't big celebrities, it makes sense that this one was optioned for film over 'Live from New York.'
Best TV of the '00s: Late Night Moments
More of our best of the decade coverage, which started on Tuesday. You can read the other posts at the link above. Here, we talk about the funniest or most surprising late night moments of the last ten years.
In the past decade, late night shows continued to bloom in popularity. However, some of our favorite late night shows were shuffled around while some got new hosts.
No matter what network executives decided to do to the line up of US late night shows, their hosts and guest stars gave us plenty fantastic, OMG!, and WTF? moments that generated tons of watercooler talks and forum discussion threads.
Below are some of the best late night moments of the past decade as chosen by some of the TV Squad bloggers. We realize there are tough choices in this category, so we hope you'll add your own favorites in the comments section below.
ABC eyeing Aisha...for a talk show, sicko
ABC is hoping to change that by giving comic babe and former Talk Soup slinger Aisha Tyler her own piece of programming.
The network is letting her develop a pilot for a "hybrid" style talk show that incorporates sketch, stand-up and other variety comedy into a fully "wired" show that will communicate with their audience over the Internet's series of complex tubes.
Seven of TV's best replacements
1. Current cast of Law & Order: I know, I know, who could replace Lenny Briscoe? No one, really. But the current pairing of Anthony Anderson and Jeremy Sisto as NYPD partners is the best the series has produced. They changed the feel of the show. Perhaps because we're still getting to know them, they are less predictable then previous tandems, and both evoke a certain hard-nosed quality that seems a bit more gritty and real. Plus, Anderson has chops as a stand-up comic, and could easily fill the wisecracker role, if need be.

Article: Resistance Training Does Not Protect Against Increases in Plasma Cytokine Levels Among Germ Cell Cancer Patients During and After Chemotherapy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Context: Testicular germ cell cancer (GCC) patients treated with cisplatin-etoposide-bleomycin chemotherapy (BEP) have excellent prognosis but have an increased risk of late-occurring morbidities, which may be associated with changes in the inflammatory profile. Objective: The objective of the study was to explore plasma cytokine concentrations in GCC patients randomized to resistance training or usual care during BEP, in comparison with healthy controls. Design/Setting: This was a randomized controlled trial in GCC patients enrolled from an oncology clinic, including a healthy reference group for comparison purposes. Outcome Measures: Plasma granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interferon-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, and TNF-α were measured in fasting blood samples from GCC patients randomized to resistance training (INT; n = 15) or usual care (CON; n = 15) and healthy age-matched controls (REF; n = 19). Clinical toxicity assessments and patient-reported end points were also recorded. Results: CON and INT were balanced at baseline. Compared with REF, CON had higher concentrations of IL-10, IL-6, and interferon-γ, and INT had higher concentrations of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α (all P < .05). At the end of therapy, concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 increased in both GCC groups (all P < .01). Three months after therapy, all cytokine concentrations were comparable with the pretreatment levels in both GCC-groups but remained elevated compared with REF (P < .05). Changes in TNF-α correlated with pulmonary toxicity (P < .01). At the end of therapy, IL-6 concentrations correlated with quality of life (P < .05) and fatigue (P < .01). Conclusion: GCC patients treated with BEP display consistently elevated levels of systemic inflammatory markers compared with healthy controls. Resistance training during therapy has no impact on plasma cytokine concentrations.Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism 07/2014; 99(8):jc20134495.

Article: Exercise performance and cardiovascular health variables in 70-year-old male soccer players compared to endurance-trained, strength-trained and untrained age-matched men[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Abstract The aim was to investigate performance variables and indicators of cardiovascular health profile in elderly soccer players (SP, n = 11) compared to endurance-trained (ET, n = 8), strength-trained (ST, n = 7) and untrained (UT, n = 7) age-matched men. The 33 men aged 65-85 years underwent a testing protocol including measurements of cycle performance, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and body composition, and muscle fibre types and capillarisation were determined from m. vastus lateralis biopsy. In SP, time to exhaustion was longer (16.3 ± 2.0 min; P < 0.01) than in UT (+48%) and ST (+41%), but similar to ET (+1%). Fat percentage was lower (P < 0.05) in SP (-6.5% points) than UT but not ET and ST. Heart rate reserve was higher (P < 0.05) in SP (104 ± 16 bpm) than UT (+21 bpm) and ST (+24 bpm), but similar to ET (+2 bpm), whereas VO2max was not significantly different in SP (30.2 ± 4.9 ml O2 · min(-1) · kg(-1)) compared to UT (+14%) and ST (+9%), but lower (P < 0.05) than ET (-22%). The number of capillaries per fibre was higher (P < 0.05) in SP than UT (53%) and ST (42%) but similar to ET. SP had less type IIx fibres than UT (-12% points). In conclusion, the exercise performance and cardiovascular health profile are markedly better for lifelong trained SP than for age-matched UT controls. Incremental exercise capacity and muscle aerobic capacity of SP are also superior to lifelong ST athletes and comparable to endurance athletes.Journal of Sports Sciences 05/2014; 32(13):1-9.

Article: Interleukin-6 and Vitamin D Status during High-Intensity Resistance Training in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background. The aim of this study was to investigate IL-6 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH D) associations with muscle size and muscle function in dialysis patients. Methods. Patients were included in a 16-week control period followed by 16 weeks of high-intensity resistance training thrice weekly. IL-6 and 25-OH D were analysed after an over-night fast. Muscle fibre size was analysed in biopsies from m. vastus lateralis. Muscle power was tested using a Leg Extensor Power Rig. Results. Patients (n = 36) with IL-6 ≥ 6.49 pg/ml (median) were older and had decreased muscle power and a reduced protein intake (P < 0.05) compared with patients with IL-6 < 6.49 pg/ml. IL-6 was not associated with muscle fibre size. Vitamin D deficiency (25-OH D < 50 nmol/l) was present in 51% of the patients and not associated with muscle power. IL-6 remained unchanged during the training period, whilst muscle power increased by 20-23% (P < 0.001). Conclusion. Elevated IL-6 values were associated with decreased muscle power but not with decreased muscle fibre size. Half of the patients were suffering from vitamin D deficiency, which was not associated with muscle power. IL-6 was unchanged by high-intensity resistance training in dialysis patients in this study.01/2014; 2014:176190. DOI:10.1155/2014/176190
Article: Resistance training and testosterone levels in male patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background. We investigated serum testosterone and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels' associations with muscle fibre size and resistance training in male dialysis patients. Methods. Male patients were included in a 16-week control period followed by 16 weeks of resistance training thrice weekly. Blood samples were obtained to analyse testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), IGF-1, and IGF-binding protein 3. Muscle fibres' size was analysed in biopsies from m. vastus lateralis. Results. The patients' testosterone levels were within the normal range at baseline (n = 20) (19.5 (8.2-52.1) nmol/L versus 17.6 (16.1-18.0), resp.) whereas LH levels were higher (13.0 (5.5-82.8) U/L versus 4.3 (3.3-4.6), P < 0.001, resp.). IGF-1 and IGF-binding protein 3 levels were higher in the patients compared with reference values (203 (59-590) ng/mL versus 151 (128-276), P = 0.014, and 5045 (3370-9370) ng/mL versus 3244 (3020-3983), P < 0.001, resp.). All hormone levels and muscle fibre size (n = 12) remained stable throughout the study. Age-adjusted IGF-1 was associated with type 1 and 2 fibre sizes (P < 0.05). Conclusion. Patients' total testosterone values were normal due to markedly increased LH values, which suggest a compensated primary insufficiency of the testosterone producing Leydig cell. Even though testosterone values were normal, resistance training was not associated with muscle hypertrophy. This trial is registered with ISRCTN72099857.01/2014; 2014:121273. DOI:10.1155/2014/121273
Article: An Optimized Histochemical Method to Assess Skeletal Muscle Glycogen and Lipid Stores Reveals Two Metabolically Distinct Populations of Type I Muscle Fibers[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle energy metabolism has been a research focus of physiologists for more than a century. Yet, how the use of intramuscular carbohydrate and lipid energy stores are coordinated during different types of exercise remains a subject of debate. Controversy arises from contradicting data from numerous studies, which used different methodological approaches. Here we review the "pros and cons" of previously used histochemical methods and describe an optimized method to ensure the preservation and specificity of detection of both intramyocellular carbohydrate and lipid stores. For optimal preservation of muscle energy stores, air drying cryosections or cycles of freezing-thawing need to be avoided. Furthermore, optimization of the imaging settings in order to specifically image intracellular lipid droplets stained with oil red O or Bodipy-493/503 is shown. When co-staining lipid droplets with associated proteins, Bodipy-493/503 should be the dye of choice, since oil red O creates precipitates on the lipid droplets blocking the light. In order to increase the specificity of glycogen stain, an antibody against glycogen is used. The resulting method reveals the existence of two metabolically distinct myosin heavy chain I expressing fibers: I-1 fibers have a smaller crossectional area, a higher density of lipid droplets, and a tendency to lower glycogen content compared to I-2 fibers. Type I-2 fibers have similar lipid content than IIA. Exhaustive exercise lead to glycogen depletion in type IIA and IIX fibers, a reduction in lipid droplets density in both type I-1 and I-2 fibers, and a decrease in the size of lipid droplets exclusively in type I-1 fibers.PLoS ONE 10/2013; 8(10):e77774.

Article: Increased rate of force development and neuromuscular activity after high-load resistance training in patients undergoing dialysis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of high load resistance training on the rate of force development and neuromuscular function in patients undergoing dialysis. Twenty-nine patients were tested before and after 16 weeks of resistance training. The rate of force development was tested using the "Good Strength" dynamometer chair. Muscle strength and neuromuscular function in the m. Vastus lateralis was estimated using electromyography in a one repetition maximum test during dynamic knee extension and during a 20 second isometric knee extension with 50% of the one repetition maximum load. Muscle biopsies from the m. Vastus lateralis were analysed for morphology characteristics. One repetition maximum in knee extension increased by 46% (p<0.001) after the training programme. Rate of force development increased by 21-38% (p<0.05). The electromyography amplitude increased during 200-300 ms from 183 ± 36 μVolt to 315 ± 66 μVolt, (p<0.05), whilst electromyography frequency remained unchanged. The electromyography signals, during isometric contractions, remained unchanged. A higher rate of force development was found to be significantly associated with larger type 2 muscle fibres (r=0.647). Muscle strength in patients undergoing dialysis was increased after 16 weeks of resistance training in parallel with changed neuromuscular function and greater rate of force development, both of which have important clinical implications in terms of improved physical performance.Nephrology 07/2013; 18(12).

Article: Improved Glucose Tolerance after High-Load Strength Training in Patients Undergoing Dialysis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background/Aims: The aim of this controlled study was to investigate the effect of high-load strength training on glucose tolerance in patients undergoing dialysis. Methods: 23 patients treated by dialysis underwent a 16-week control period followed by 16 weeks of strength training three times a week. Muscle fiber size, composition and capillary density were analyzed in biopsies obtained in the vastus lateralis muscle. Glucose tolerance and the insulin response were measured by a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test. Results: All outcome measures remained unchanged during the control period. After strength training the relative area of type 2X fibers was decreased. Muscle fiber size and capillary density remained unchanged. After the strength training, insulin concentrations were significantly lower in patients with impaired glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes (n = 14) (fasting insulin from 68 ± 12 (46-96) to 54 ± 10 (37-77) pmol/l, p < 0.05, 2-hour insulin from 533 ± 104 (356-776) to 344 ± 68 (226-510) pmol/l, p < 0.05, total insulin area under the curve from 1,868 ± 334 (1,268-2,536) to 1,465 ± 222 (1,094-1,913), p < 0.05). Insulin concentrations were unchanged in patients with normal glucose tolerance (n = 9). Conclusion: The conducted strength training was associated with a significant improvement in glucose tolerance in patients with impaired glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes undergoing dialysis. The effect was apparently not associated with muscle hypertrophy, whereas the muscle fiber type composition was changed.Nephron Clinical Practice 07/2013; 123(1-2):134-141.

Article: Aging is associated with diminished muscle re-growth and myogenic precursor cell expansion in the early recovery phase after immobility-induced atrophy in human skeletal muscle.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recovery of skeletal muscle mass from immobilisation-induced atrophy is faster in young than older individuals, yet the cellular mechanisms remain unknown. We examined the cellular and molecular regulation of muscle recovery in young and old human subjects subsequent to 2 weeks of immobility-induced muscle atrophy. Re-training consisted of 4 weeks of supervised resistive exercise in 9 older (OM: 67.3yrs, range 61-74) and 11 young (YM: 24.4yrs, range 21-30) males. Measures of myofiber area (MFA), Pax7-positive satellite cells (SC) associated with type I and type II muscle fibres, as well as gene expression analysis of key growth and transcription factors associated with local skeletal muscle milieu were performed after 2 weeks immobility (Imm) and following 3 days (+3d) and 4 weeks (+4wks) of re-training. OM demonstrated no detectable gains in MFA (VL muscle) and no increases in number of Pax7-positive SCs following 4 wks re-training, whereas YM increased their MFA (p<0.05), number of Pax7-positive cells, and had more Pax7-positive cells per type II fibre than OM at +3d and +4wks (p<0.05). No age-related differences were observed in mRNA expression of IGF-1Ea, MGF, MyoD1 and HGF with re-training, whereas myostatin expression levels were more down-regulated in YM compared to OM at +3d (p<0.05). In conclusion, the diminished muscle re-growth after immobilisation in elderly humans was associated with lesser response in satellite cell proliferation in combination with an age-specific regulation of myostatin. In contrast, expression of local growth factors did not seem to explain the age related difference in muscle mass recovery.The Journal of Physiology 06/2013; DOI:10.1113/jphysiol.2013.257121 · 4.38 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Important insights concerning the molecular basis of skeletal muscle disuse-atrophy and aging related muscle loss have been obtained in cell culture and animal models, but these regulatory signaling pathways have not previously been studied in aging human muscle. In the present study, muscle atrophy was induced by immobilization in healthy old and young individuals to study the time-course and transcriptional factors underlying human skeletal muscle atrophy. The results reveal that irrespectively of age, mRNA expression levels of MuRF-1 and Atrogin-1 increased in the very initial phase (2-4 days) of human disuse-muscle atrophy along with a marked reduction in PGC-1α and PGC-1β (1-4 days) and a ∼10% decrease in myofiber size (4 days). Further, an age-specific decrease in Akt and S6 phosphorylation was observed in young muscle within the first days (1-4 days) of immobilization. In contrast, Akt phosphorylation was unchanged in old muscle after 2 days and increased after 4 days of immobilization. Further, an age-specific down-regulation of MuRF-1 and Atrogin-1 expression levels was observed following 2 weeks of immobilization, along with a slowing atrophy response in aged skeletal muscle. Neither the immediate loss of muscle mass, nor the subsequent age-differentiated signaling responses could be explained by changes in inflammatory mediators, apoptosis markers or autophagy indicators. Collectively, these findings indicate that the time-course and regulation of human skeletal muscle atrophy is age dependent, leading to an attenuated loss in aging skeletal muscle when exposed to longer periods of immobility-induced disuse.PLoS ONE 12/2012; 7(12):e51238.

Article: The Effects of High-Load Strength Training With Protein- or Nonprotein-Containing Nutritional Supplementation in Patients Undergoing Dialysis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of high-load strength training and protein intake in patients undergoing dialysis with a focus on muscle strength, physical performance, and muscle morphology. DESIGN: This was a randomized controlled study conducted in three dialysis centers. SUBJECTS: Subjects for the study included 29 patients undergoing dialysis. INTERVENTION: The participants went through a control period of 16 weeks before completing 16 weeks of strength training. Before the training period, the participants were randomly assigned to receive a protein or a nonprotein drink after every training session. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Muscle strength and power were tested using the good strength equipment and the leg extensor power rig. Physical performance and function were assessed using a chair stand test and the Short Form 36 questionnaire. Muscle fiber type size and composition were analyzed in biopsies obtained from the m. vastus lateralis. RESULTS: All variables remained unchanged during the control period. After training, muscle strength and power, physical performance, and physical function increased significantly. Muscle fiber composition was changed by a relative decrease in type 2x muscle fiber number whereas muscle size at the fiber level was unchanged. There were no effects of combining the training with protein intake. CONCLUSIONS: High-load strength training is associated with improvements in muscle strength and power, physical performance, and quality of life. The effects were surprisingly not associated with muscle hypertrophy, and the results did not reveal any additional benefit of combining the training with protein intake. The positive results in muscle strength and physical performance have clinically relevant implications in the treatment of patients undergoing dialysis.Journal of Renal Nutrition 09/2012; DOI:10.1053/j.jrn.2012.06.007 · 1.75 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to make a comprehensive gathering of consecutive detailed blood samples from professional soccer players, and to analyze different blood parameters in relation to seasonal changes in training and match exposure.Blood samples were collected five times during a six months period and analyzed for 37 variables in 27 professional soccer players from the best Danish league. Additionally, players were tested for body composition, VO2max and physical performance by the Yo-Yo intermittent endurance sub-max test (IE2).Multiple variations in blood parameters occurred during the observation period, including a decrease in hemoglobin and an increase in hematocrit as the competitive season progressed. Iron and transferrin was stabile, whereas ferritin showed a decrease at the end of the season. IgA and IgM increased in the period with basal physical training and at the end of the season. Leucocytes decreased with increased physical training. Lymphocytes decreased at the end of the season. VO2max decreased towards the end of the season whereas no significant changes were observed in the IE2 test.The regular blood samples from elite soccer players reveal significant changes that may be related to changes in training pattern, match exposure or length of the match-season. Especially the end of the preparation-season and at the end of the competitive season seem to be time points were the blood-derived values indicate that the players are under excessive physical strain and might be more subjected to a possible overreaching/overtraining conditions.We suggest that regular analyzes of blood samples could be an important initiative to optimize training adaptation, training load and game participation, but sampling has to be regular and a database has to be build for each individual player.The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research 06/2012; 27(5).

Article: Effects of intensive physical rehabilitation on neuromuscular adaptations in adults with poststroke hemiparesis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Hemiparesis-disability and muscle weakness of 1 side of the body-is a common consequence of stroke. High-intensity strength training may be beneficial to regain function, but strength coaches in the field of rehabilitation need evidence-based guidelines. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of intensive physical rehabilitation on neuromuscular and functional adaptations in outpatients suffering from hemiparesis after stroke. A within-subject repeated-measures design with the paretic leg as the experimental leg and the nonparetic leg as the control leg was used. Eleven outpatients with hemiparesis after stroke participated in 12 weeks of intensive physical rehabilitation comprising unilateral high-intensity strength training with near-maximal loads (4-12 repetition maximum) and body weight supported treadmill training. At baseline and 12-week follow-up, the patients went through testing consisting of isokinetic muscle strength, neuromuscular activation measured with electromyography (EMG), electrically evoked muscle twitch contractile properties, and gait performance (10-m Walk Test and 6-min Walk Test). After the 12-week conditioning program, knee extensor and flexor strength increased during all contraction modes and velocities in the paretic leg. Significant increases were observed for agonist EMG amplitude at slow concentric and slow eccentric contraction. Twitch torque increased, whereas twitch time-to-peak tension remained unchanged. By contrast, no significant changes were observed in the nonparetic control leg. Gait performance increased 52-68%. In conclusion, intensive physical rehabilitation after stroke leads to clinically relevant neuromuscular improvements, leading to increased voluntary strength during a wide range of contraction modes and velocities, and improved gait velocity. Strength training coaches working in the field of rehabilitation can use this knowledge to safely and efficiently add high-intensity strength training to existing rehabilitation paradigms.The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research 09/2011; 25(10):2808-17.

Article: Progressive Resistance Training and Cancer Testis (PROTRACT) - Efficacy of resistance training on muscle function, morphology and inflammatory profile in testicular cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy: design of a randomized controlled trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Standard treatment for patients with disseminated germ cell tumors is combination chemotherapy with bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin (BEP). This treatment is highly effective, but the majority of patients experience severe adverse effects during treatment and are at risk of developing considerable long-term morbidity, including second malignant neoplasms, cardiovascular disease, and pulmonary toxicity. One neglected side effect is the significant muscular fatigue mentioned by many patients with testicular cancer both during and after treatment. Very limited information exists concerning the patho-physiological effects of antineoplastic agents on skeletal muscle. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effects of BEP-treatment on the skeletal musculature in testicular cancer patients, and to examine whether the expected treatment-induced muscular deterioration can be attenuated or even reversed by high intensity progressive resistance training (HIPRT). The PROTRACT study is a randomized controlled trial in 30 testicular cancer patients undergoing three cycles of BEP chemotherapy. Participants will be randomized to either a 9-week HIPRT program (STR) initiated at the onset of treatment, or to standard care (UNT). 15 healthy matched control subjects (CON) will complete the same HIPRT program. All participants will take part in 3 assessment rounds (baseline, 9 wks, 21 wks) including muscle biopsies, maximum muscle strength tests, whole body DXA scan and blood samples. Primary outcome: mean fiber area and fiber type composition measured by histochemical analyses, satellite cells and levels of protein and mRNA expression of intracellular mediators of protein turnover. Secondary outcomes: maximum muscle strength and muscle power measured by maximum voluntary contraction and leg-extensor-power tests, body composition assessed by DXA scan, and systemic inflammation analyzed by circulating inflammatory markers, lipid and glucose metabolism in blood samples. Health related Quality of Life (QoL) will be assessed by validated questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30, SF-36). This study investigates the muscular effects of antineoplastic agents in testicular cancer patients, and furthermore evaluates whether HIPRT has a positive influence on side effects related to chemotherapy. A more extensive knowledge of the interaction between cytotoxic-induced physiological impairment and exercise-induced improvement is imperative for the future development of optimal rehabilitation programs for cancer patients.

Article: Effects of aging on muscle mechanical function and muscle fiber morphology during short-term immobilization and subsequent retraining[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Very little attention has been given to the combined effects of aging and disuse as separate factors causing deterioration in muscle mechanical function. Thus the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 2 wk of immobilization followed by 4 wk of retraining on knee extensor muscle mechanical function (e.g., maximal strength and rapid force capacity) and muscle fiber morphology in 9 old (OM: 67.3 ± 1.3 yr) and 11 young healthy men (YM: 24.4 ± 0.5 yr) with comparable levels of physical activity. Following immobilization, OM demonstrated markedly larger decreases in rapid force capacity (i.e., rate of force development, impulse) than YM (∼ 20-37 vs. ∼ 13-16%; P < 0.05). In contrast, muscle fiber area decreased in YM for type I, IIA, and IIx fibers (∼ 15-30%; P < 0.05), whereas only type IIa area decreased in OM (13.2%; P < 0.05). Subsequent retraining fully restored muscle mechanical function and muscle fiber area in YM, whereas OM showed an attenuated recovery in muscle fiber area and rapid force capacity (tendency). Changes in maximal isometric and dynamic muscle strength were similar between OM and YM. In conclusion, the present data reveal that OM may be more susceptible to the deleterious effects of short-term muscle disuse on muscle fiber size and rapid force capacity than YM. Furthermore, OM seems to require longer time to recover and regain rapid muscle force capacity, which may lead to a larger risk of falling in aged individuals after periods of short-term disuse.Journal of Applied Physiology 12/2010; 109(6):1628-34.

Article: Sub-maximal and maximal Yo-Yo intermittent endurance test level 2: heart rate response, reproducibility and application to elite soccer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aims of this study were to (1) determine the reproducibility of sub-maximal and maximal versions of the Yo-Yo intermittent endurance test level 2 (Yo-Yo IE2 test), (2) assess the relationship between the Yo-Yo IE2 test and match performance and (3) quantify the sensitivity of the Yo-Yo IE2 test to detect test-retest changes and discriminate between performance for different playing standards and positions in elite soccer. Elite (n = 148) and sub-elite male (n = 14) soccer players carried out the Yo-Yo IE2 test on several occasions over consecutive seasons. Test-retest coefficient of variation (CV) in Yo-Yo IE2 test performance and heart rate after 6 min were 3.9% (n = 37) and 1.4% (n = 32), respectively. Elite male senior and youth U19 players Yo-Yo IE2 performances were better (P < 0.01) than elite youth U16s and sub-elite players (2,603 ± 451 and 2,534 ± 549 vs. 1,855 ± 535 vs. 1,749 ± 382 m). The intra- and inter-season CV for Yo-Yo IE2 test performance were 4.2 and 5.6%, respectively. A correlation was observed (P < 0.05) between Yo-Yo IE2 test performance and the total (r = 0.74) and high-intensity (r = 0.58) running distance covered in a match. A correlation was also evident (P < 0.01) between Yo-Yo IE2 test heart rate after 6 min expressed in percentage of maximal heart rate and the peak values for high-intensity running performed by midfielders in 5-min (r = -0.71), 15-min (r = -0.75) and 45-min periods (r = -0.77). The present data demonstrate that the Yo-Yo IE2 test is reproducible and can be used to determine the capacity of elite soccer players to perform intense intermittent exercise. Furthermore, the Yo-Yo IE2 test was shown to be a sensitive tool that not only relates to match performance but can also differentiate between intermittent exercise performance of players in various standards, stages of the season and playing positions.Arbeitsphysiologie 11/2010; 111(6):969-78.

Article: Coordinated increase in skeletal muscle fiber area and expression of IGF-I with resistance exercise in elderly post-operative patients.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Hypertrophy of developing skeletal muscle involves stimulation by insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), however, the role of IGF-I in adult muscle is less clarified. In the present study, the mRNA splice variants of IGF-I (IGF-IEa and MGF) and the changes in muscle fiber cross sectional area after 12 weeks of training were studied in elderly post-operative patients. About 28 subjects, 14 men and 14 women (age 69, range 60-86 years) were randomized to unilateral resistance training (RT: 3/week), electrical stimulation (ES: 1h/day) or functional exercises (FE: 1h/day). The non-operated-side served as a within subject control. Muscle biopsies were obtained from the vastus lateralis of both limbs at +2d post-operative (baseline), at 5 weeks and 12 weeks post-surgery to analyze for changes in type 1 and type 2 muscle fiber area. Changes in expression levels of IGF-I mRNA isoforms were determined using real-time RT-PCR, normalized to the ribosomal protein large protein 0 (RPLP0) mRNA and presented relative to the control-side. At baseline there was no difference between the three groups in muscle fiber area or resting levels of IGF-IEa and MGF. RT resulted in a significant increase in muscle fiber area of type 1 (+17%, p<0.05) and type 2 (+36%, p<0.05) parallel to an increase in the expression of IGF-IEa and MGF, in contrast to ES and FE. The present study demonstrates that resistance training initiated in the acute post-operative phase is highly effective in increasing mean fiber area and in addition induces marked increases in the expression of IGF-I splice variants, supporting the idea that IGF-I is involved in regulating muscle hypertrophy.Growth hormone & IGF research: official journal of the Growth Hormone Research Society and the International IGF Research Society 04/2010; 20(2):134-40.

Article: Effect of contrasting physical exercise interventions on rapid force capacity of chronically painful muscles[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Rapid force capacity of chronically painful muscles is inhibited markedly more than maximal force capacity and is therefore relevant to assess in rehabilitation settings. Our objective was to investigate the effect of two contrasting types of physical exercise on rapid force capacity, as well as neural and muscular adaptations in women with chronic neck muscle pain. A group of employed women (n = 42) with a clinical diagnosis of trapezius myalgia participated in a 10-wk randomized controlled trial; specific strength training of the neck/shoulder muscles, general fitness training performed as leg-bicycling; or a reference intervention without physical activity. Maximal voluntary shoulder abductions were performed at static angles of 35 degrees and 115 degrees with simultaneous recording of electromyography (EMG) in the trapezius and deltoid. Maximal muscle strength and activation (peak torque and peak EMG) as well as rapid muscle strength and activation [rate of torque development (RTD) and rate of EMG rise] were subsequently determined. Trapezius muscle fiber characteristics were determined with ATPase histochemistry. Significant changes were observed only in the specific strength training group. Whereas peak torque increased 18-29% (P < 0.01), RTD increased 61-115% (P < 0.001). Peak EMG and rate of EMG rise increased correspondingly (P < 0.05-0.001), and trapezius type II muscle fibers hypertrophied 20% (P < 0.001). In conclusion, rapid force capacity of chronically painful muscles is highly responsive to rehabilitation with specific strength training. The underlying mechanisms were related to both pain reduction and general neuromuscular adaptations to strength training. Potentially, the present method can be a useful clinical screening tool of muscle function in rehabilitation settings.Journal of Applied Physiology 09/2009; 107(5):1413-9.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to compare changes in muscle strength, power, and morphology induced by conventional strength training vs. plyometric training of equal time and effort requirements. Young, untrained men performed 12 weeks of progressive conventional resistance training (CRT, n = 8) or plyometric training (PT, n = 7). Tests before and after training included one-repetition maximum (1 RM) incline leg press, 3 RM knee extension, and 1 RM knee flexion, countermovement jumping (CMJ), and ballistic incline leg press. Also, before and after training, magnetic resonance imaging scanning was performed for the thigh, and a muscle biopsy was sampled from the vastus lateralis muscle. Muscle strength increased by approximately 20-30% (1-3 RM tests) (p < 0.001), with CRT showing 50% greater improvement in hamstring strength than PT (p < 0.01). Plyometric training increased maximum CMJ height (10%) and maximal power (Pmax; 9%) during CMJ (p < 0.01) and Pmax in ballistic leg press (17%) (p < 0.001). This was far greater than for CRT (p < 0.01), which only increased Pmax during the ballistic leg press (4%) (p < 0.05). Quadriceps, hamstring, and adductor whole-muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) increased equally (7-10%) with CRT and PT (p < 0.001). For fiber CSA analysis, some of the biopsies had to be omitted. Type I and IIa fiber CSA increased in CRT (n = 4) by 32 and 49%, respectively (p < 0.05), whereas no significant changes occurred for PT (n = 5). Myosin heavy-chain IIX content decreased from 11 to 6%, with no difference between CRT and PT. In conclusion, gross muscle size increased both by PT and CRT, whereas only CRT seemed to increase muscle fiber CSA. Gains in maximal muscle strength were essentially similar between groups, whereas muscle power increased almost exclusively with PT training.The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research 11/2008; 22(6):1799-810.

ABSTRACT: Trapezius myalgia - chronic pain from the upper trapezius muscle - is frequent in female employees in monotonous stressful jobs, potentially due to chronic overload of type I muscle fibers. In this study, we investigated the intra-individual distribution of trapezius muscle fiber size, and hypothesized that females with myalgia compared with matched healthy controls have a higher percentage of grossly hypertrophied type I fibers with poor capillarization. Forty-two female office workers with trapezius myalgia (MYA) and 20 healthy matched controls (CON) participated in the study. Standard histochemical methods were used to determine fiber size, fiber type, and capillarization. Type I megafiber were defined as at least twice the size of the median type I fiber size of each individual. The main finding was that MYA had a significantly higher proportion of type I megafibers than CON, in spite of no significant difference in overall type I fiber size. In MYA and CON type I megafibers were located in 46% and 11% of the females, respectively. Capillarization of the overall type I fiber pool was not different between CON and MYA, but was significantly lower in type I megafibers of both groups. The percentage of megafibers was positively related to age and weekly working hours, indicating an effect of long-term exposure. In conclusion, this study shows that trapezius myalgia is associated with a significantly higher percentage of grossly hypertrophied type I muscle fibers with poor capillarization - type I megafibers.Pain 09/2008; 139(3):588-93.

flaming fury jumbo peach
have any of you grown a flaming fury jumbo peach haow hardy are these peac trees? I know threre bred by paul friday in colma michigan?
You are referring to the cultivar PF 24-007. I just planted it for the first time last spring so I don't have any first hand experience with it.
At one time 24-007 was the world record holder for the largest peach. I don't know if it still is. Any PF peaches with a 007 suffix have some 24-007 in the genetics (28-007, 35-007, etc.).
I know a commercial peach grower who grows it and doesn't like it much. He indicated it produces an unusually large percentage of split pits.
I wanted to try it myself, but only put in a couple trees because of his comments. The grower has his trees on drip and fertilizes heavily, both of which produce larger peaches contributing to split pits. I wanted to see if the cultivar produced the same problems without drip irrigation and fertilizer.
I got mine from Stark Brothers a few years ago and had a couple peaches in 2011 and about a dozen in 2012. They were large(some up to 4" Diameter), symmetrical, nicely colored, firm, sweet, decent flavor... not as sweet or peach flavored like a Redhaven or July Elberta, but a decent peach. I sprayed copper in the winter, about 4 triacide sprays during production, but the biggest concern wasn't disease but squirrels so i used tulle draw string bags on each peach.

The data pertain to Democratic and Republican party elites holding office during the election year of 1984 and include County and State Chairs, members of the Democratic and Republican National Committees, and delegates to the 1984 National Conventions. These data focus on the "representativeness" of the party elites on a variety of dimensions and also permit a comparison of party leaders from the local, state, and national organizational levels. Special emphasis is placed on the presidential election, the presidential nominations system, public policy issues current in the 1984 campaign, and the future of the political parties. In addition, special note was taken of the views of women and minorities and the problem of providing them with representation in the parties. The question of whether their policy views and ideologies differed from other political party elites was also explored. Specific variables include characterization of respondent's political beliefs on the liberal-conservative scale, length of time the respondent had been active in the party, and the respondent's opinions on minorities in the party, party unity, national- and local-level party strength, and party loyalty. Respondents were also queried on attitudes toward important national problems, defense spending, and inflation. In addition, their opinions were elicited on controversial provisions instituted by their parties and on the directions their parties should take in the future. Demographic characteristics are supplied as well.

Sales training managers are responsible for developing, overseeing, implementing, and improving training materials and programs for sales professionals in their organization. They are responsible for locating and employing professionals outside the organization (such as guest lecturers, experts, and specialists) as needed to help effectively train sales professionals. Sales training managers are expected to utilize technology when necessary, and they must be knowledgeable in the processes and skills used by sales staff in their company. Additionally, these managers are generally expected to lead a team of sales trainers, as well as lead and deploy sales trainers efficiently in a variety of circumstances.Read More...
A bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or education - or equivalent experience - is typically required for this position. Applicants must also have at least two years of professional training experience, with four or more years often preferred. Sales training managers should also be proficient in basic computer software such as the Microsoft Office suite, as well as be able to quickly learn how to use proprietary software used by the hiring organization. Additionally, these managers should have excellent interpersonal, communication, and training skills.
Sales training managers work mostly in an office setting alone, as part of a team, and/or as a lecturer in front of large groups; however, they must be prepared to do on-site training when necessary. Applicants for sales training manager positions typically must be comfortable with occasional travel.
Sales Training Managers generally report applying a varied skill set to their work. Most notably, skills in Course Design, National Sales, Training Management, and Sales Management are correlated to pay that is above average. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Facilitator. Most people familiar with Training also know Facilitator.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
In general, experience and pay appear to be strongly linked; those with more experience usually bring in higher incomes. Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $64K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $85K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Sales Training Managers make a median salary of $96K. Sales Training Managers who have spent more than 20 years on the job report earning a significantly higher median of $112K.

Megatons To Megawatts Program Comes To a Close 125
from the time-to-make-some-gigascale-weapons dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
With computers, we have good and bad CPU designs, good and bad GPU designs, good and bad OS designs.
Like computers, nuclear power plants come in many designs, some good and some bad. Watch this [wikipedia.org] and learn a bit more, especially about the Integral fast reactor [wikipedia.org] design.
I'm all for green power, but let's not forget that right now solar panels are not terribly efficient and very resource-intensive during the manufacturing process, wind farms don't work without wind (duh) and kill birds, etc. Each choice has drawbacks and from the numbers given in this film, if they are accurate, we'd be insane not to use nuclear power plants as long as they're IFR-type.
The US has a large stockpile of weapons-grade material (U-235 and also Pu-239) from decommissioned nuclear weapons produced in the 1960s when it had over 30,000 weapons ready for use. It now has about 5000 warheads, most in reserve (i.e. not ready for immediate use or kept as "junk box" units that could be refurbished given the need, will and funding). The ready-for-use warhead count is about 2,200 or so.
They don't need to divert this ex-Soviet material to make more weapons, they don't need more weapons, they don't have the launchers and platforms to carry more weapons and they don't have the facilities or funding to pay for new weapons to be built and besides the uranium arriving in America has already been downblended to fuel-level enrichment (probably 4 or 5%) from the original 90% or so of the original weapon cores.
That's how we know the US didn't use it for their own weapons.
He's talking out of his ass.

A nice beach, very nice actually, you can take your best furry friend to. Plenty of dogs hanging out there with their humans. All well behaved, some on leashes, some off but never a problem. There is a poop bag dispenser on the trail to the beach in case you forget yours.
Bring a picnic lunch and it can be...
If you love to walk the beach & with your dog, you'll love FMB. The island has made sure that there are dog waste bags & garbage facilities for your pet. 99+% of dog owners on the beach are respectful of cleaning up after their pets. This is so important given that families play in the sand! Lastly please make...
We visited the dog beach while on vacation at Ft. Myers. We didn't have a dog with us but it was still a blast! It's beautiful and the people are friendly and there was just about every breed of dogs running around! We even saw dolphins swimming nearby. Very fun place and easy to get to.
I never get tired of watching all the dogs run and chase each other. Whether you have a puppy or a senior dog they will find a friend. Have rarely seen any issues there with dogs miss behaving. Owners misbehaving is an occasional situation but there is a good group that make this work!! Bravo
I love animals but have never seen a place so bad . they have bags for your dogs droppings but it seems like most people there never pick it up
Compared to some other dog-friendly beaches we've been to, this is very nice. The dogs are off-leash so can roam on the beach or in the water. After parking, follow the sometimes flooded trail to the beach. You arrive at a very, very small beach. Go right around the mangroves and you will find the actual dog beach. Bring water...
One of the few beaches in the Naples area that allows dogs to roam leash free. Do not bring your dog here if they are not socialized around other dogs because people go there for the freedom of their pets. Parking is ok then you walk in to the actual beach. The path can be water logged & have dead...
First off, let me say you might hear of the Ft Myers Dog Beach & the Bonita Bay one. They're one and the same.
The dogs have a ball & the people are all very friendly.
My only advice is to check the tide tables before you go & do so barefoot, in flip flops or some kind of beach...
This was our first time bringing our sweet baby to a beach and I must say this what an amazing experience. Everyone is friendly and the dogs get along great. Can't wait to take Stella again. This is our new favorite place!
Stopped in for the dog to play and he had a blast! Very clean beach. Saw a dolphin! Went on a cooler day so there weren't many dogs on the beach but our dog still loved it.

Customized light switch
I'm going to order 4 of these sconces for my family room for behind my sectional sofa. i'm asking the manufacturer to add a switch so that I can adjust the lighting. the manufacturer can add either a two way or three way switch. For incandescent bulbs I would go with a three way switch, but, once incandescent are switched out I wonder if the switches will work at all, assuming either fluorescent or LED bulbs? Or whether I should consider a two way switch?
Any advice or opinions are most appreciated.
I can not see what particular sconce you are getting so I am flying a little blind here. If there is any chance you are going with CF, and there are two or more lamps in one luminaire, try to get a switch that turns the lamps on and off individually rather than cycling through them like a typical luminaire designed for an incandescent 3-way bulb does. By cycling through all combinations every time you use the luminaire, you do excessive switching and that will age the lamps comparatively quickly.

Your favorite country recipe?
Your favorite Country Recipe?
I am not sure if this is the best place to make this post but here goes.
In order to keep myself sane I belong to a non-profit MomÂs group. (MOPS). As a fundraiser we are making a cook book. I am trying to collect different recipes from around the country that reflect fresh home grown farm foods. You know the piles of eggs in your fridge etc Our goal is to have at least one great recipe from each of the 50 states. This way we will have tried and true recipes representing different regional cuisine.
So, I was hoping that by asking here I might find some people interested in sharing.. I know there are many people who live all around the country and even out of it. If you happen to have a great recipe you donÂt mind sharing, I would love to have it. You could e-mail it to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I would like to submit some of the great recipes you send me. Proceeds from our book sale will help fund our self-supporting organization. So if you could send them my way that would be great. I appreciate all of your help and look forward to the taste test.
Have a great day. Gina

Germination Progress PR/KGB
Hi everyone just wanted to post a picture of my recent germination of day 7 on my lawn renovation. I plated 80% KBG and 20% PR. Just to clarify, this is the perennial rye that is arriving first? When could I expect to see KBG filling in? Would I be able to tell the difference when the KBG starts germinating?
We are currently getting 1-2 inches of rain tonight with this storm that is hitting the Northeast. I watered twice a day last week and now my sprinkler is on a timer and will be working 3x a day after this storm passes. I am slightly concerned as temperatures will average mid 50s/upper 30s this week...
Do you consider this the beginnings of a successful germination?
Temperatures have been pretty low as of late, which is going to prolong germination. PR is usually showing green in a few days, a week means low soil temps. The KBG is probably going to take at least 2 weeks to show green unless you get a stretch of very warm weather. I doubt you would be able to tell the difference by appearance if they germinated at the same time although PR grows tall much faster than KBG. Stick with it, keep it moist even after all the PR is up, and pray for a warm up. Good luck.
Hang in there...did a major reseeding project when the temps were warm...then it got cold...then warm again and the rye portion of my KBG mix finally popped...then 3 inches of heavy, wet, snow covered all the fine, green "hair". Maybe we'll both have something akin to lawn by the end of May! Good luck

Night of the Living Dead
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Yep. This is the one, folks, that started the whole messy, flesh-eating, zombie craze 45 long years ago._____ And I know that it's kinda weird to say this, but, as low-grade (and, yes, laughable) in every aspect (especially the acting) as this horror movie is, it's essential power to still terrify and chill (even by today's brutal standards) somehow makes it superior to all of the many, many imitators that it's spawned, over all of these many years._____ After seeing countless zombie movies in my days, I still personally consider 1968's Night of the Living Dead to be one of the very best zombie movies ever made. I know that really isn't saying too much, but, I think that this is a genre that has just gotten steadily worse, rather than better, over the years, since its original incarnation back in 1968._____ And - "Hey! Look! Here comes one of them now!"
It makes one wonder if George Romero had never made this film would we have such series as The walking dead and a whole host of zombie films,books AND such a following of zombie fans.
The women in the begining got on my nerves so i didnt finish watching it!
It's a classic but super goofy to the point where it was almost kind of funny because it's so ridiculous!
There coming to get you Barbara........better find your HOMETHEATER. I've always found it better to watch and listen to your movies in a theater like surrounding. Even if it's just mono or two channel stereo sound. This movie is a classic!!! I know this because when Duane Jones was killed at the end i was pissed!!! Not because of race, but his character did so much to help those fools trapped with him in the house. It affected me emotionally which means very good story telling and acting. I give this classic black and white horror flick 5 stars!!! Good story, good zombies, good acting, and the black and white filming fit this film perfectly. Chocolate doughnuts with milk...
Another classic of the genre and a must-see for the true horror fan. While those brought up with the new zombie apocolypse phase we are going through right now may laugh and snicker, this low budget film is genuinely creepy and scary.
The movie that started the Living Dead movie series. Although a low budget movie, it was very well done.

How long does it take a listing to show on Realtor.com?
We listed our house last Thursday but it hasn't been showing up on Realtor.com or other realtor companies websites besides our realtors. A house on the next street listed with the same real estate company listed on Realtor.com and others the same day. I talked to our agent and he said it might take a few days. When I go to search our MLS number it shows a house in Indiana, MLS 2626605. What gives?
Here is a link that might be useful: Our Listing
This might explain it.
Q: My husband and I have been looking to buy a home and, as we've toured neighborhoods, we see houses with real estate signs, but we can't find the homes on the multiple listing service for several days. How long does it take for agents to post information?
A: It takes only a few minutes, but the agents aren't putting the information in right away. By their guidelines, real estate agents are supposed to post a listing on the multiple listing service within 48 hours after the home is for saleâmeaning a sign in the yard.
I'll bet, though, you're seeing this on Thursdays or Fridays. Agents have told me they like to start advertising homes on a Thursday because that 48-hour window doesn't include non-business days. So if a sign goes in a yard on a Thursday, the agent would not have to put the home on the MLS until Monday. That would give him Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday to possibly sell that home with no other agent involvedâmeaning he would get the whole commission.
The agent that is covering for our agent this week (he's on vacation) said there was a technical glitch.... It should be fixed in 24-48 hours. None of the other local agencies have our listing but somehow we are still getting showings, either through a website or drivebys.
It usually shows up within a few minutes, but I've seen it take as long as 24 hours. Since your listing has an MLS number, it was obviously inputted in to the system. Since all the other realtor web sites and realtor.com are fed thru your local MLS system, I would say there is nothing sinister going on. It definitely sounds like a glitch. It sounds to me like your agent is going to have to withdraw your listing and resubmit it to the MLS system so that it shows up on all the different web sites.
So if a sign goes in a yard on a Thursday, the agent would not have to put the home on the MLS until Monday
Listings are submitted to the MLS via computer. The computer dates the listing. The listing contract date and the computer date must be within the required time period. Weekends count DOM, it has nothing to do with when the paperwork gets to the MLS office.
Don't what the technical glitch is but it is on a couple of the local agencies websites. We are still waiting for it to appear on Realtor.com or other national websites. I am stumped but don't want to bother our agent when he on vacation. If it is not on the website by tomorrow I will call him. We had our 3rd showing today but still haven't heard any feedback. I really don't think that the agent that is covering is calling for feedback just kind of babysitting or waiting for a contract to fall in his lap. Oh well we aren't in a hurry to sell but want to get our house out there to see what people think. We have a small golf course community behind us being developed that people might be hesitant about. I don't know why though. That is the only feedback so far, the first showing on Friday. The houses in the community would be between 400-600K with condos around 300K. We will see what people think. When we bought it there was a large cornfield behind us.

Do Caleb and Flynn fit with the other names on my list?
Over the past couple of weeks I have been revamping my list as I wasn't 100% happy with all the combination and wasn't sure if all the names 'fitted' well together. I have changed almost every name expect from Flynn and Caleb but I'm not sure if they have the same feel as the other names on my list or if they 'fit' with them. (Jasper, Linus, Brock, Aurora, Emilia, Hazel and Imogen are the other names on my list)
Do you think that Caleb and Flynn 'fit' well with the other names on my list? Or should I scrap them? If so what names do you think would work better in their place?
Thanks for your help.All good things are wild and free
