Osprey Atmos 65 Backpack
Tester Bio
Name: Tyler Prince
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Height: 5'10" (1.56 m)
Weight: 148 lbs (66 kg)
Email: wtylerprince@...
Location: Denver, CO, USA
Date: July 4, 2011
Backpacking Background: I have been backpacking most of my life with groups such as the BSA, small operation wilderness medicine groups, and friends. I have been a competitive distance runner for the past 8 years, alpine skier for 5, cyclist for 2, and 14er climber since moving to Denver a month ago. Speed is of the essence, and I favor gear that reflects this sentiment. I have been an EMT for 6 years and am a current Paramedic and future med student, and am highly interested in gear that has medical purposes, intentional or not.
Product Information
Osprey Packs
3 lbs 9 oz (1.61 kg; size medium)
Size: medium
Color: red
MSRP: $250 at time of purchase
Initial Impression:
I purchased this bag after searching for a high capacity, lightweight top-loading pack capable of wearing multiple hats. When purchased, the pack appeared very well crafted and durable, yet quite light despite its considerable payload potential. There were many attractive features including but not limited to hip strap pockets, a well ventilated back panel, and reverse-pull ergo compression straps on the hip belt, not to mention excellent organizational options. The bag has a lower pocket, which is fairly contiguous with the main compartment, for a sleeping bag or other large item. The main compartment is large although its size is slightly diminished by the presence of a gap between the mesh back panel and the actual compartment of the pack. The anterior-most portion of this pocket has a narrow but deep pocket that can accommodate a large water reservoir. On the front side of the pack are bilateral pockets great for storing smaller items such as food, clothes, and stoves/filters/miscellany. One of these pockets has a zipper that opens into the main compartment, facilitating access to larger items that might become unexpectedly needed. This eliminates the need to unfasten the top pocket, which fastens over the main compartment with two compression straps. These straps run along the front edges of the pack and allow a fair amount of gear to be stored between the top unit and the main compartment with virtually no chance of it falling out. This top lid pocket is sizeable, and a single zipper running along the top of the pack's back allows quick access to important items. Upon first glance, this compartment looks capable of carrying at least a shell, sunglasses, and some snacks. This pack also has three outer compartments: huge bilateral water bottle holders with compression straps, and a sizeable single buckle pocket on the front that I imagine would be ideal for food or dirty clothes. But the organizational options don't end there: the pack boasts trekking pole loops and quick release fobs. Features are well thought out there's even a whistle built into the sternum strap. Due to its low weight and high configurability, I was extremely curious how this pack would hold up in different settings (extended hiker, weekend hiker, day hiker).

Top of pack with hydration port. Ports are on both sides.
One of my favorite features main compartment access via a front gear compartment. Exterior buckled compartment (gray) also pictured.
After constant abuse, the bottom of the pack is still intact and in decent condition.
Comfortable sternum strap with built-in whistle.
The materials used in this pack's construction are a mix of cordura nylon and various synthetic stretch fabrics, all of which seem very durable. The harness system uses a unique mesh and neoprene-like combination of fabrics, which I imagined would be comfortable in hot weather. The pack's internal frame is minimalistic; essentially composed of lightweight metal rods in a rectangular configuration with braces extending medially. The wearer's back comes into contact with the actual frame only at the hips and shoulders (if the load-bearing straps are tightened), and upon first trying this pack on, I found that this made for an extremely comfortable fit.
In summary, this pack seemed like a great purchase due to its light weight, organizational options, and alleged versatility. The workmanship was impeccable, and my only initial qualm with the pack was a lack of a built in or included rain cover.
Field Report:
While I have used this pack extensively, I will focus on its use in several different settings to better highlight its versatility.
Backing through Europe
As a college student, I did the mandatory trek through Europe with some friends over the course of a month. The Atmos 65 survived the flight in a cargo hold without any lost items, despite my use of the space between the main compartment and lid to store a pair of shoes. For this trip, I did not pack light. As a runner, my running shoes come everywhere with me, and this was no exception I fit a large pair of Asics in the bottom pocket, along with a pair of light hikers. The main compartment fit a full complement of clothing (enough to run, hike, swim, and bar hop for a week), along with a fair amount of warm clothing (we ventured from southern Italy to the Swiss Alps). I also packed a sleeping bag, toiletry kit, rain shell, sunglasses, pocket knife, camera, and various miscellany, not to mention a smaller North Face Ion daypack for day trips. In retrospect, I didn't even need the Ion, although the point is simple: the Osprey carried a ton of gear, and did so comfortably.
Wilderness Medicine
While in college in Vermont, my school ran several outdoor orientation trips a semester, and staffed a medical evacuation team for this reason. I used this pack for both fall and winter excursions, and though I seldom went out for actual rescues, the pack accommodated a large amount of medical supplies (bandages, splints, blood pressure cuffs, IV supplies and medications) along with my sleeping bag, flashlights and warm clothing. Oh, and a tent too. The outer pockets and lid made organizing my supplies very easy, and everything was readily accessible.
Climbing 14ers: hiking in and day travel
My latest excursion with the Osprey involved hiking to South Colony Lake with a tent, bag, and everything one might think necessary to climb several of Colorado's 14ers in a weekend. After getting to camp in comfort (and dry, may I add, thanks to Osprey's mesh harness and backing) and dumping some of the larger ticket items, I packed up my Osprey with a shell, sunglasses, helmet, warm jacket, 4 liters of water, a water filter, camera, knife, light, and some food. While this is an obviously small payload for the Atmos 65, it did not feel awkward at any point, despite class 3 and 4 scrambling up Crestone Peak and Needle. After summiting Crestone Peak on our first day, my climbing partner and I tried to dash up Humboldt Peak before the weather hit. Despite our haste, the clouds came in strong and we backed off but the pack remained comfortable despite practically running halfway up and back down the mountain. And on the second day, despite scooting down the rocky Crestone Needle on my butt for most of the descent, the Atmos's fabric remained unscathed.
This is not to say I don't have some qualms with the pack after three years of use. As previously mentioned, the lack of an included rain cover seems negligent, although I believe Osprey may have remedied this error in newer versions of this pack. Additionally, when the compartment between the main and mesh backing is filled with clothing, the heat becomes a problem almost instantly, and I found myself sweating through any clothes I stored there and getting them too damp to wear without an overnight sleeping bag drying. Thus, this pack is really a 55 liter pack, with an additional 10 liters if you're willing to compromise dryness (this is not a huge deal if it's not hot out, or if the clothes you store there are quick drying). The other option is to free up some space in the main compartment by tossing your reservoir in this space the tube will easily run out the H2O port.
This is easily my favorite pack, and has held up extremely well despite considerable abuse. It's worth mentioning how great Osprey's customer service is I broke the zipper on the lid once (most likely due to my own overzealous packing), and Osprey fixed it for free and within two weeks of my sending it. It is comfortable (I would go so far as to say tailor-made) for a diverse range of outdoor functions, and is the first pack I reach for year-round. If you find yourself looking for an inexpensive pack at any point, pick up one of these used. Chances are it's almost as nice as it was when it was first purchased.

We take to the road to get to the heart of the questions, "What makes the Oregon coast unique?" And "Why do so many people consider it not just special, but sacred?" From its local inhabitants to its visitors, the Oregon Coast means different things to different people.

Yes or no, take my advice and GO! Call in sick or do whatever you need to do and go; you will not be sorry. I have been dreaming of exploring Big Sur for years now and finally did it! My wife and I packed our car and drove with no plans other than to end up in Big Sur. Driving along the Pacific Coast Highway is an incredible experience and being able to really take our time and explore was easily the best start to a new year I've ever had. Trying to bring the Spirit of California's central coast into this film has been difficult. I've tried my best, but pictures just can't do it justice. No camera can perfectly capture the raw power and beauty of the Pacific Ocean or the feeling of standing near the ledge of a high cliff while the sun sets. I used my Blackmagic Cinema Camera for this film and the color and latitude that shooting in raw provides still amazes me. The flexibility that uncompressed raw gives you in post production makes the 1 Terabyte per 2 hours of footage data rate worth it. I also can't wait to use the new firmware that's been announced! Many more great options to expand the capabilities and improve the workflow. It definitely would have made this shoot a bit easier. P.S. If you can, watch this film with good speakers and turn it up! Be careful though, it gets much louder towards the end.

5th June, 2012: We gathered for the morning surf check at Lorne Point, then my mates Jack and Moona suggested we hit north Lorne to see if the conditions were right for "Foam Day". The stunning display occurred thanks to the raw swell agitating the water, strong southeasterly winds and over 150 millimetres of rain washing down a large amount of organic material into the turbid waters of Louttit Bay. We only get to observe this phenomenon every few years, and this was the most impressive we had seen so it was a easy choice to wettie up and get the cameras out. I'd like to credit Jack's rad camera skills for the pioneering concept of "foam tunnel" vision that was captured. Track is "Sail" by Ash Grunwald (originally by Awolnation) from the album "Trouble's Door" (2012).+ More details

Woman who hate men
Dear Niloofar:
Is there a preliminary cause for woman (Ziba N.) whom once get rejected by a man, start using sexual demeanor and put down on the man. If so how do you cure them if you are not an expert in mental profession.
PS specially a woman who calls her kid names too.
Best regards,
PS thank your mom if she has already helped me with my kid's case as she promised in Persian center.

Women Who Hate Men
Dear Friend,
Why women hate men or men hate women when rejected is a very complicated question. I could name 101 reasons for this, but to simplify it and give you some psychological insight, the most common reason is of a Personality Disorder, such as Borderline Personality Disorder. People with BPD react with more rage and hate when faced with rejection and the best way to cope with this in a relationship is to set clear boundaries with that person. Remember you choose to be in that relationship in the first place. You could benefit from doing a little research in this area, and reading a couple of books on anger management and Personality Disorders.

Violence and Bullying in Schools & Day Cares
Dear Dr. Farnoodi
I have a 23 Months old daughter (Very gentle, bright and extremely verbal but still rather passive with other kids) and am considering putting her in day care for 2-3 days/week in next 3-6 months. I am very concerned about the bullying and aggressive behaviors I hear about & observe in schools and daycares and appreciate your insights.
My questions
1. Where is the boundary b/w "normal" childhood bantering and aggressive bullying? what signs should one watch for?
2. What should parents do to protect their children against bullying and aggression at such age? It doesnt seem right to teach my 2 year old child to "hit back" when another child hits or pushes her but at same time it is not right for her to just grin and take it
3. At what point is the parent being over-protective? When should the parent let kids be kids and at what point should one interfere?
4. Any tips on how I can encourage my child to be more assertive when dealing with other kids & not give up so easily? Is this only a matter of time before she BECOMES more assertive developmentally?
Appreciate your insights

Visit to a Strange Program
I realize it is a little bit bizarre, François, but part of what makes running Linux so attractive is it has put the fun back into computing. Sometimes fun is just plain silly. Non, mon ami, this program does nothing for your productivity. No, it does not monitor resources nor help with system administration. Yes, you are correct, it serves no obvious useful purpose.
You ask why? Why, François, do we serve fine wines and not plain water? Why do we indulge in rich foods and decadent desserts rather than consuming only what our bodies need? Because it is fun, mon ami. And why are you not paying attention to me? What are you looking at?
Ah, bonjour, mes amis! Welcome to Chez Marcel, home of fine Linux fare, great wine and the occasional excursion into strange and unusual software territory. Please sit and François will pour the wine immédiatement. François, to the wine cellar. Fetch the 1997 Eden Valley Hill of Grace Shiraz. Vite!
As you know, mes amis, the focus of this month's issue is program development. The obvious approach is to showcase some of the marvelous tools used by talented open-source programmers to improve and enrich the Linux landscape. It is on that note that I would like to point out the following: sometimes, those talented programmers are simply playing, having a bit of fun. Sometimes, the programs they turn out are silly, bizarre and, occasionally, plain weird. Those are the people I wish to honor with today's menu.
Once upon a time, ASCII art was practiced in e-mail messages sent around the world. Unfortunately, fancy fonts and HTML-ized e-mails have struck a powerful blow to this ancient and noble art form. The most missed are probably the cows, for Tony Monroe, anyhow. His cowsay program (a nice, easy-to-play-with Perl script) provides a simple way to generate an ASCII cow that speaks your message. Head on over to www.nog.net/~tony/warez/cowsay.shtml to pick up your copy and extract it into your directory. The installation consists of running an install.sh file. Running the program also is quite simple. Let's pretend that I want a cow saying "More wine, please":
$ cowsay More wine please. ------------------- < More wine please. > ------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
With the -e and -T options, you can define the cow's eyes and tongue. You also can use the -f option to specify any of the other animals (or cow-like creatures) in the /usr/local/share/cows directory. You'll even find Tux there. Be warned, however, that some of the art can be a bit off-color.
Talking milk carton, anyone?
In the world of programmed silliness, a lot can be said for words. Text, that is. Take, for instance, Andy Gilligan's cack program for generating nonsensical phrases (sourceforge.net/projects/cack). "So, how would you use cack?" you may find yourself asking. Say, for instance, you are trying to answer an e-mail, and you need something totally nonsensical to make your point. It's cack to the rescue. Simply type cack followed by a number to represent how many lines of nonsense you wish to generate, then press Enter. Here is an example of what you can expect:
disintegrate the 95 marauder and the on request medieval eel billet the unsized aged and the biochemically amphiprostylar crotchetiness
Your friends will think you are either crazy or brilliant.
To take this up a notch, you may want to check out the aptly named nonsense. In essence, nonsense is a clever generator of, well, nonsense. For instance, with the command nonsense -f mission.data, you can generate corporate mission statements like this one:
Our mission is to achieve progress in integrating integrated technologies to produce more revenue for our head honchos and make our founder enough cash to exceed the net worth of the world's richest man.
For nonsense, this is quite a flexible program. With command-line switches, you can make nonsense generate business plans, strange names for people, imaginary political organizations, an impressive geek resume (Figure 1), bizarre laws ("It's a Class C felony in Yellow Walnut, Michigan, to hit a poison ivy plant with a cardboard box"), newspaper headlines ("Computer Possessed By Satanic Dæmon") and even a pretty realistic Slashdot web page. Some of the output is in HTML format and is suitable for web pages—all silly, of course. The many other options and their results may well keep you busy for hours.

Is this Root Rot???
Hi Guys,
Hope everyone is doing well. I just noticed that on one of my AV's that a couple leaves were looking limp. So as I picked them up, they came right off. The base where the stem attached to the plant was brown and sort of mushy. Is this root rot? It is an AV I haven't re-potted from the commercial soil, yet. (I was planning to do it this weekend.)
It's gotten very cold overnight and maybe the windowsill got chilly? I have a thermostat and hygrometer sittting right next to it and it's usually 68-75 degrees and 40-50% humidity.
What should I do?? Re-pot? Keep it warmer? What could it be?? Any feedback is greatly appreciated and implemented promptly!!
Thanks so much,
Hi Wish,
you need to try to save this violet now. Tomorrow can be late,
root rot spreads fast.
Remove most of the leaves, cut the stem with a razor blade till it will look healthy (last time once more with a fresh blade) and try to reroot it. You can do it in water, you can put it into a small pot - plastic solo cup or condiment cup works OK with the light soil mix, just slightly humid - and put in a ziplock bag. Just in case - put 2-3 leaves you just removed - for rooting the same way - shorten the stem to an inch from the leaf blade - and repeat the above mentioned procedure.
Ardy pointed to the most possible causes. But sometimes it just happens to all of us - just keep an eye on your violets - and perform the surgery before it's too late. The earlier the rot is caught - the less chances to loose the violet.
And as it was mentioned before - the commercial mixes are way too heavy and you can possible deter the doom by keeping the violet on a dry side until you repot. You need to water regularly but not to have it soaking wet.
Happy growing - and in no time you will have 200 of them.
Thanks, Ardy & Irina!
I performed the surgery and found more leaves that were going mushy at the base. One sucker was totally rotten at its base (sniff). A lot of leaves were removed--which I now have in several condiment cups...I think at this rate, I will have 200 of them!
The original plant was reduced to the innermost circle of leaves and I had to cut all the roots off t o make sure there wasn't any rot. It's pretty drastic. I have it in a small condiment cup filled with perlite/vermiculite/peat moss mixture. But NO ROOTING HORMONE. Will it root without it? Should I go out and get some today? The condiment cup is inside a fishbowl and I have plastic wrapped the top. I kept the flowers, though. I didn't have the heart to remove them Do you think I should? It's a cute little terrarium.
I hope I can keep it alive...this is my first time handling an AV! Another question: how much of the root system can I safely remove when I'm transplanting an AV from a commercial potting mixture to the correct 1/3 ratio mix? (As I handled this AV, a lot of the root system came away as I was trying get rid of the bad mix.)
Also, do you wait until the AV has finished its blooming cycle before you transplant to a better mix?
This experience has made me realize how important the right potting mix is and I'm ready to tackle the re-potting of my AV's this weekend! I would love some feedback so I know I'm not hurting them...Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Repot if you feel the need to save it, blooming or not. If it is doing okay, leave it until it's done blooming and then move it to better soil. They are tough little buggers, even though you've experienced one rotten one. :-) I did the same thing to my violet and couldn't even save the middle crown (I overloved it and overwatered it because it started blooming for me and I got a little too excited). I did put down all of the leaves and now have tons of plantlets though!
I dont think you need rooting hormone...
after all, people commonly take off the crown and just root the crown by itself, as if it were a leaf
you might want to dome it though to retain humidity
until it establishes a root system
All in all, it is better to take off more roots and diseased tissue , rather than save all you can... since
any remaining diseased tissue can spread disease to the remaining plant.... sort of like ugh cancer surgery
I don't think you need the rooting hormone either, not for AVs. I would advise taking the flowers off the one you just did the surgery on. It's rough enough to have most of your leaves pulled and rotted off and then all your roots cut off, but to ask it to keep the energy to flower is a bit much. Where is it going to get that energy from? It doesn't have roots to take up nutrients, so I guess it might get it from energy stored in the leaves, but that will just weaken the plantlet even further and take precious energy away from it growing roots.
No, no rooting hormone. I have heard that they actually make their own rooting hormone and it stays in the soil/media where you root leaves and so if you stick the leaf in again after cutting off the plantlet, you can get an indefinite amount of plantlets off one leaf. I can't remember where I read this as I spend way too much time on the internet in various places. It could have been here!
Hi There,
Thanks for all the helpful feedback. I took off all the flowers. And it's planted in a condiment container that is in a fishbowl with plastic wrap over the top. I took a picture but I don't know how to post it with this message.
I think it'll make it! Now I've got to tackle all the others and re-po them into a better mix!
Thanks again,
Wish -
I use Rootone on the suckers and crowns - but not on the leaves. They say that it inhibits the appearance of the plantlets, but stimulates the roots.
I do it because I have Rootone ( I use it for rose cuttings). I wouldn't buy it just for violets.
You still can loose the crown - you can never be 100% sure that you cut all the rot.
When you repot to change the soil - you can whack a lot of roots - 2/3 of them easily - and scrap as much as
possible of sludge from the rest of the roots. But as as was suggested above - you need to remove all flowers and buds - and lower rowes of leaves to reduce the loss of water while the roots grow back. It actually rejuvenates the plant and produces a beautiful blooming somewhere in a month or two depending on the temperature and light.

Americans continue to give the majority of their donations to the church and other religious organizations, according to a study by John and Sylvia Ronsvalle. In 2009, the most recent year studied, Americans gave 74 percent of their donations to religious institutions. Charities and other organizations received 21 percent and educational institutions received 3 percent. Per member giving, however, declined from 2008 to 2009 in constant dollars. The Ronsvalles believe that church members are not likely to increase giving toward institutional maintenance. To stimulate increased giving, church leaders need to convey a vision that engages people both inside and outside the congregation (The State of Church Giving through 2009, empty tomb, inc.).
An ad running on cable TV shows Occupy Wall Street protesters making anti-Semitic statements and holding up signs offensive to Jews. Kevin Healey points out that the ad is produced by the Emergency Committee for Israel, hardly an unbiased group. It was founded by neoconservative leader William Kristol and evangelical leader Gary Bauer. Other observers point out that the Occupy movement has involved many Jews. Columnists from the Jewish news source JTA said that the Occupy Wall Street protests have a Jewish flavor and are "becoming a fulcrum of Jewish ferment" (Scoop, November 3).
The world was stunned by the Rwandan genocide in 1994 in which the majority Hutu population tried to wipe out the Tutsis. Three years after the genocide a militia group attacked a secondary school at Nyange and ordered Tutsis and Hutus to form separate lines. The students refused, saying they were all Rwandans. The rebels responded by shooting indiscriminately, killing 13 students for their refusal to be divided along tribal lines (Emmanuel M. Katongole in Witness of the Body, edited by Michael L. Budde and Karen Scott, Eerdmans).
The popular uprisings that deposed autocratic governments in Tunisia and Egypt were initiated by people whose lives were so desperate that they felt they had nothing to lose. Before the revolts, many in North Africa thought their only hope was to immigrate to Europe. In 2007 a cobbler in Tunisia said to David Cook, a scholar from Rice University: "Do you think that any of us would be here if we could move to France? Everyone would be gone in a week if they would let us in!" (Hedgehog Review, Fall).
A comprehensive study of the 280 most profitable Fortune 500 companies shows that 78 of them paid no income tax in one out of the past three years and 30 of them had a negative income tax rate during that three-year period. In the 1950s a quarter of federal outlays were paid by corporate taxes; in fiscal year 2010 corporate taxes paid only 6 percent of federal government expenses. The report, done by Citizens for Tax Justice and the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, notes: "Most Americans can rightfully complain, 'I pay more federal income taxes than General Electric, Boeing, DuPont, Wells Fargo, Verizon, etc., etc., all put together'" (Salon, November 3).

BWW Reviews: THE VAUDEVILLIANS Pump Up Racy Glamour at Seattle Rep
by Jay Irwin - Oct 9, 2014
"The Vaudevillians" is not an act that you'd expect to see at the Seattle Rep but then they've never really played it safe. But catching an act that I remember seeing at Balagan's "Smorgasbord" nights back when they were in the basement of the noodle house now strutting around the stage at the Rep is a bit odd but just shows how far this duo has come. From late night cabaret to the toast of Off-Broadway, "The Vaudevillians" have matured into a solidly hilarious evening that spotlights two very gifted performers. (more...)

BWW Interviews: Michael Winther in NEXT TO NORMAL From MAMMA MIA! To Maryland
by Charles Shubow - Nov 5, 2014
I have to admit that I was very excited when I read that veteran actor Michael Winther would be returning to Center Stage to star in the Pulitzer Prize winning musical NEXT TO NORMAL. It was Director David Schweizer who asked Winther to come to Center Stage for the role of Dan. Schweizer also directed Winther back in 2007 when he played the role of Dromio in BOYS FROM SYRACUSE along with Manu Narayan and Paolo Montalban.

BWW Reviews: Everything's Coming Up Roses at GYPSY
by Jeff Davis - Mar 5, 2015
Ask any musical theater junkie what's the best musical of all time, and any worth their spit will answer with one word: Gypsy. The iconic show is highly regarded to this day with good reason. The score's infectious, the sets and costumes eye-catching, and the characters, particularly that of Mama Rose, are on par with those found in plays by Arthur Miller or Tennessee Williams. Gypsy isn't just musical theater. It's a great American Drama, and all that the show can and should be comes to vivid life in The Playhouse's current production. (more...)

BWW Reviews: RE-ANIMATOR: THE MUSICAL
by Ellen Sterling - Jan 14, 2015
Since the Smith Center for the Performing Arts opened its doors almost three years ago in March 2012, many Las Vegans have felt less culturally adrift. You see, the arrival of the Smith Center meant that, even off The Strip and outside hotel showrooms, there was world-class entertainment to be seen in the city. This includes Broadway musicals, intimate cabaret fare, a beautiful home for performances by Las Vegas' terrific philharmonic and the Nevada Ballet Theatre. And, all of this takes place in a breathtakingly beautiful venue - art deco on the level of the Chrysler Building and the Radio City Music Hall. So many who live in Las Vegas are so grateful to have the Smith Center. (more...)

This challenge may test your muscular endurance, but it's definitely not a slow burn. This weekend, you're tasked with performing as many reps as possible in one minute for each of the following...
Tightness in the shoulder, neck, and back often leads to fatigue, injury, soreness, and lack of mobility. It's a casualty of the modern desk job. Good flexibility allows a muscle to lengthen and the joints to operate through a full range of motion. When muscles are elastic, your posture improves and you breathe deeper. Using more lung capacity sends more oxygen-rich blood to your brain to keep you alert and productive.
Employ the 20-20 rules, advises Alan Hedge, Ph.D., a professor of ergonomics at Cornell University. Every 20 minutes, stand for 20 seconds and stretch or shake things out. "Just 20 seconds away from your computer screen reduces fatigue and increases blood circulation," says Hedge. Now you'll have the power to sit up straight.
Every 2 hours, try to the following series of postural correction moves and rejuvenating stretches that will make tight muscles feel great and improve your oxygen efficiency.

1. Chest Elevation
Sit in a chair with your arms at your sides and your feet flat on the floor. Gently raise your chest toward the ceiling, but don't look up. Keep your chin level with the floor. Hold this position for 10 seconds, then relax, and repeat 5 to 10 times.
2. Scapular Retraction
Get into the position for the chest elevation stretch while sitting, but this time place your hands on your hips. Squeeze your shoulder blades together, feeling the stretch in your chest. Hold for 10 seconds, then relax, and repeat the sequence 5 to 10 times.
3. Chin Tuck
Assume the chest elevation position while sitting. Keeping your chin level with the floor, pull your chin, head, and neck inward (not down). Hold for 10 seconds, then relax and repeat.
Tip: Placing your finger on your upper lip may help guide your head through the proper range of motion and correct any mistakes.
4. Upper Cervical Spine Flex
From the chest elevation position while seated, dip your head forward slightly as if you were nodding "yes." Feel the stretch in the neck at the base of the head. Pause for 10 seconds, then relax and repeat 5 to 10 times.
5. Upper Back and Neck Scapular Strengthening
To strengthen the rhomboids, try this version of the scapular retraction. Stand upright. Clasp your hands behind your head. Flex your elbows back while pinching your shoulder blades together. Hold for 10 seconds, then relax, and repeat 5 to 10 times.
6. Rhomboid Range of Motion
Stand upright. Clasp your hands behind you at the small of your back. Pinch your shoulder blades together. Hold for 10 seconds, then relax, and repeat 5 to 10 times.
Use this myth-busting plan for breakthroughs in performance. Check out The New Rules of Stretching.
7. Corner Chest Stretch
Stand facing the corner of a room. Raise your hands to shoulder height, and place your forearms, elbows, and hands against each wall. Lean inward to stretch your chest muscles. Hold for 15 seconds (or until you feel loose).
Tip: By raising or lowering the position of your arms, you can alter the stretch to focus on different parts of the pectorals.

Frank was very friendly, quick to respond and accommodating. The location and apartment are great. 1 1/2 blocks from famous Lincoln Rd. and a few short blocks away from the beach - making for a nice quiet sleep. The apartment was very clean. If I were to visit again, and use air BNB, I would hope this listing would be available
the best about this Studio it is the location, block and a half from eveything Lincoln Rd has to ofer. Very spacious ,gated wich give you a more safe felling when leaving your stuff inside.
Frank the host was the best one answering and providing all the info I needed or answering y questions.
I booked this studio during the Winter Party Festival, so basically I just used to rest and chill while not in a party .... this studio is perfect for that just a private place to crash and chill while waiting for the next party to start!.... this is perfect!... Now if you are looking for a place to actually be there during most part of the day keep in mind that what you see on the pics it is all you will find, no TV no radio, the fusniture you see on pics it is what you find. This is not a luxury place, but the price is according to that. you won't feel you are being charged more from what you are getting. With that said. I would recomend this for some one chill and not pretending to stay in a palace while paying for a cabana. Price was not expensive at and this place worked perfectly for me.
The only think I would suggest is to improve the internet service, for me it is very important to stay conected since I need to keep in touch for work. and this internet was somehoe vey slow. but if you are only going to use for read or send email it is ok. but no streaming or heavy pages will run good with this. also keep the option of the starbucks that is blcok and a half on lincol. you can have a better running conection there. That solved my problem and it was great cuz, who wans to stay inside when you are in South Beach!.
Frank the host was great providing info and ansering questions and also was VERY flexible with the check in and check out time! and you know you don't find that very often on Airbnbd. He was willing to let me check in ealier with no extra cost!.... and also I needed to check out late since my flight was changed , and he let me do it with no problem and with no extra cost too!..... that is something very usifull full forme and save me a lot of time hanging on the streets with my bags. so THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Appartement bien situé , bien équipé , a 10 min de la plage , nous avons passer deux mois dans l'appartement, voisin très acceuillant, résidence calme , a coté de Lincoln road .
We had a great experience in Grid's place. The location can't be beat. It is a very comfortable space close to the beach, restaurants, bars, and shopping. My partner and I were here for six weeks and loved the easy access to a city pool, tennis courts, and running tracks. Grid is also an excellent host -- he's very responsive and helpful.
Our stay here was great, walking distance to everything and most importantly, close to the beach. Francesco was very accommodating, would definitely stay here again. The apartment is very simple and clean, perfect weekend getaway in South Beach.
Nice appartment, we had a great stay. Francesco was an excellent host, always available and happy to out wherever he could. Recommended!
Great location. Just a few blocks from the beach. A couple of minutes walk from Lincoln mall which is full of shops, Restaurants and bars. It is very quiet even though you are so close to everything. The apartment is basic but comfortable. It was super clean, the bed was very comfortable, you have air con and a fan, heaps of hanging space for your clothes, the shower is good. The kitchen has the bare essentials, but enough to get by. Internet is a hot spot that you buy. Pretty cheap at $7 for the week, but not the fastest. Though with so much to do in Miami at your door step wifi shouldn't be your priority! The washer and dryer are just down stairs and are not free, but still cheap at $1.50 per load. There is a whole foods a few streets away on the corner if 10th and Alton. We had a great stay!

Christian Benteke
Forward Aston Villa Premier
March 12, 2015 Christian Benteke News
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Benteke (hip) will have a late fitness test to determine his availability for Saturday's game against Sunderland, manager Tim Sherwood said Thursday.
Benteke has already missed a game due to the issue, though it was in FA Cup play and not Premier League. He's Villa's best offensive option when he's fit, even without prolific scoring this season.

Christian Benteke: Past News Updates ( ▲ View most recent update )
March 7, 2015
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Benteke was unable to play in Saturday's FA Cup match against West Brom because of a hip injury, according to the BBC.
There was no indication of an injury prior to the game, so it remains unclear when Benteke suffered the injury, or how severe it is. Either way, he'll have a full week now to recover before Aston Villa play Sunderland next Saturday.
March 4, 2015
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Benteke assisted on Gabby Agbonlahor's opener and then converted a stoppage time penalty during Aston Villa's 2-1 win over West Brom on Tuesday.
Benteke's goal was just his third this season and first since Dec. 20 against Manchester United. His penalty attempt was his only shot on the day, so while he had a solidly productive scoresheet by the end, he wasn't nearly as active as some previous matches. He'll look to start a goal streak March 14 at Sunderland.
February 27, 2015
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Manager Tim Sherwood challenged Benteke to score a hat trick to rediscover his goal-scoring form from past seasons, according to the Daily Mail.
Benteke has scored twice since returning to action after an achilles injury, and was dropped from the starting squad by previous manager Paul Lambert. He was promoted back to a starting position by Sherwood, but still has some work to do to get back to his old form.
February 10, 2015
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Benteke is available off the bench for Tuesday's match against Hull City.
What seemed like a great matchup on paper for fantasy owners is anything but due to Benteke's spot on the bench. Gabby Agbonlahor will start up front with Andreas Weimann and Scott Sinclair.
February 10, 2015
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert said that Benteke must improve his current form in order to earn a spot back in the side, reports the Daily Mail.
The Belgian started on the bench against Chelsea, and could be in for more time on the bench. Benteke is working to replicate his early Premier League success, but has been looked over in favor of Gabriel Agbonlahor recently.
February 7, 2015
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Benteke is available off the bench for Saturday's match against Chelsea.
Benteke has really struggled to get much going offensively this season, though he does have Villa's last goal. Unfortunately, it came seven games ago against Manchester United. The move to the bench is still very surprising, though he will likely make an appearance off the bench.
December 20, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Benteke took two shots, with both on goal, and scored in the 18th minute of Aston Villa's 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Saturday.
Benteke's goal was his second this season, both of which coming in the last four games. He continues to be an elite-skilled striker, and given his little usage this season after returning from an Achilles injury and then a three-match red-card ban, he could be heavily used during the holiday condensed schedule.
