I have always been puzzled by the fact that Charles Taylor starts his book A Secular Age with a long quote from Bede Griffith in order to describe a religious type of experience. It is the description of a scene experienced by the author as a school-boy: trees are blossoming, birds are singing, the author has the sensation that angels are present and that God is looking down on him. My question is: Why this quote? Why choose an image and a language of sunset, trees and birds in order to describe something for which the different languages of theology have worked out precise and elaborate codifications? I understand, of course, that in the context of the introduction to A Secular Age, Taylor uses this quote in order to make a soft claim to the human openness to experiences of transcendental nature. He uses the rest of the eight-hundred pages of the book to explore why it has become increasingly rare and difficult in our secular age to live these kinds of experiences, let alone to look for them in the context of an organized religious tradition. Most of us, he says, live our lives in an "immanent frame" and religious belief "has become one option among many."

Beyond supersessionist stories?posted by Guido Vanheeswijck
Brad Gregory's monumental and erudite book has yielded a wide range of reactions. Highly appreciative remarks (especially from the Catholic side) are countered by rather dismissive, sometimes even venomous reviews (by Ian Hunter, James Chappel, Mark Lilla, and others), as well as by more balanced critiques (those of Peter Gordon, Victoria Kahn, and Adrian Pabst, for instance). I will not dwell on the details of these divergent opinions; I would instead like to focus on the question of whether or not The Unintended Reformation is a genuine work of history. More specifically, I would like to tackle two questions: (1) What is meant precisely by the term "a supersessionist model" of historical narrative in contrast to "genealogical history"? And (2) does Gregory succeed in writing a study in genealogical or analytical history, as he claims to do, or is The Unintended Reformation itself an example of supersessionist historiography, albeit in reverse? My answer is based primarily on a comparison between Gregory's book and Charles Taylor's A Secular Age, which are often mentioned in the same breath (cf. Lilla, Hunter, Pabst).
Hope, tragedy, and prophecyposted by Colin Jager
It is hard not to be convinced by Akeel Bilgrami's careful, patient, and generous exposition in "Secularism: Its Content and Context." And indeed there is much with which I agree, especially the balance that Bilgrami strikes between a care for truth, on the one hand, and the idea of internal reasons, on the other. My remarks below are offered by way of exposition and clarification, but they are motivated by a spirit of interpretation: it seems to me that the paper operates in distinct tonal registers: a primary register of hope, a secondary register of tragedy, and an unacknowledged third register, which I will call prophetic.
The context of religious pluralismposted by Nadia Urbinati
Akeel Bilgrami's article, "Secularism: Its Content and Context," is an important and welcome contribution on a topic that has acquired momentum with the renaissance of the public role of religions, in democratic and non-democratic societies alike. Bilgrami clarifies in a penetrating and lucid way, three fundamental ideas on secularism: first, that it is "a stance to be taken about religion"; second, that it is not an indication of the form of government or the liberal nature of a regime; and third, that the context is a crucial factor in issues concerning the relationship between politics and religion.
Secularism: Its content and contextposted by Akeel Bilgrami
I begin with three fundamental features of the idea of 'secularism.' I will want to make something of them at different stages of the passage of my argument in this paper for the conclusion—among others—that the relevance of secularism is contextual in very specific ways. If secularism has its relevance only in context, then it is natural and right to think that it will appear in different forms and guises in different contexts. But I write down these opening features of secularism at the outset because they seem to me to be invariant among the different forms that secularism may take in different contexts. It is hard to imagine that one hasn't changed the subject from secularism to something else, something that deserves another name, if one finds oneself denying any of the features that I initially list below.
An empirical perspective on religious and secular reasonsposted by John H. Evans
This "religion in the public sphere" thread has featured debates about whether citizens of liberal democratic societies can offer religious reasons for public laws that will be coercive on all citizens, or whether they must use, in John Rawls's terms, "public reason." . . . This normative debate is about what people should do in public debates, but knowing what people actually do would allow theorists to develop greater nuance in their analyses. When we see what people actually do, we can further inquire as to whether there are social structures that are pushing people toward good or bad behavior. For example, it is possible that the normative structure of the contemporary public sphere works so strongly against certain normative proposals that they should just be abandoned as utopian. Moreover, it is possible that we may gain normative wisdom from the collective practices of citizens. In any event, given the many hundreds of normative analyses, some empirical examinations may usefully agitate the debate.
Arguing with An-Na`imposted by Daniel Philpott
What is interesting about An-Na`im's arguments is that they ground the case for the secular state not in the Quran, not in claims about the presence of the imago Dei in the person or in some other source of the person's intrinsic dignity, not in natural law, some closely similar type of practical reason, or universal moral precepts, but rather in what might be called "second order" observations about the phenomenology of belief, the character of government, the lessons of history, and the like. To be sure, good reasons for the secular state lie therein. But are these arguments sufficient to ground an Islamic case for constitutionalism, human rights, and the secular state? I doubt it.
Nothing special about religionposted by Mark S. Cladis
It is clear from the ongoing discussion about "Religion in the public sphere" that we live in an age when many inside and outside of the academy are thinking and talking about religion—specifically about religion in public and whether it ought to be there. Many are turning their attention to the relation among religion, law, and politics, now that the once-common theories about the inevitable march of (what is commonly understood as) secularization have been mostly discredited. Such theories were based on an erroneous interpretation of the Enlightenment as a monolithic force that discounted religion, and on the view that modernity would necessarily usher in secularism, that is, launch an age in which religion had no significant standing. Yet most have come to realize that religion as an intellectual, cultural, and political force is not, in fact, waning on the globe. To help us think about religion in the public and political landscape, I propose a model—what I call Public Landscape as Varied Topography—in which there is room for various socio-political stances, religious or otherwise.

An Islamic case for a secular stateposted by Charles Kurzman
If the state is going to enforce any principle from Islamic sources, according to Abdullahi An-Na'im, then it should implement the principle that the state should not enforce Islamic principles. This is the crux of An-Na'im's new book, Islam and the Secular State: Negotiating the Future of Shari'a. An-Na'im, a renowned Islamic scholar and human rights activist, is a leading member of the generation of Muslim intellectuals that came to prominence in the 1980s as critics of both Islamist revolutionaries and post-colonial dictators. According to An-Na'im, the secular state is not just a good thing on public-policy grounds; it is also justified on Islamic grounds. […]
Secularism and critiqueposted by Charles Taylor
What are we to think of the idea, entertained by Rawls for a time, that one can legitimately ask of a religiously and philosophically diverse democracy that everyone deliberate in a language of reason alone, leaving their religious views in the vestibule of the public sphere? The tyrannical nature of this demand was rapidly appreciated by Rawls, to his credit. But we ought to ask why the proposition arose in the first place.
Taking religion seriouslyposted by Simone Chambers
What distinguishes Habermas from Rawls on religion in the public sphere is not Habermas's slightly amended view of public reason, but his willingness to entertain the idea that religion has a positive and substantive role to play in public debate.
Inclusion and accountability in the public sphereposted by Cristina Lafont
In his essay "Religion in the Public Sphere," Habermas joins the debate between liberals and critics of liberalism on the proper role of religion in the public sphere. His proposal focuses on what each side of the debate gets right: the liberal emphasis on the obligation to provide nonreligious reasons in support of coercive policies with which all citizens must comply, on one side, and the critic's insistence on the right of religious citizens to adopt their religious stance in public deliberation about such policies, on the other.

The Bona-Churchill massif in the St. Elias Mountains forms the highest Quaternary volcano in the United States. A 2.7 x 4.2 km wide caldera caps the summit of 4766-m-high Mount Churchill, which is now known to be the source of the White River Ash, produced during two of the largest explosive eruptions in North America during the past 2000 years (McGimsey et al. 1992). The 5005-m-high summit of Mount Bona lies 4 km across a high saddle from the younger Mount Churchill. The source vent of the widespread bilobate White River Ash deposit, which blankets more than 340,000 sq km of eastern Alaska and NW Canada, was initially thought to be a pumice mound that is mostly buried beneath the Klutlan Glacier NE of Churchill volcano. More recent work has revealed thick young pumice deposits mineralogically and chemically similar to the White River Ash deposits along the rim of the Mount Churchill caldera.

|A U.S. Geological Survey climbing party ascends the Klutlan Glacier en route to 4766-m-high Mount Churchill. Their field studies led to the recent discovery that this volcano was the site of two of the most voluminous eruptions in North America in the past 2000 years. The White River Ash, two voluminous ash layers that extend across most of Canada's southern Yukon, originated from the summit caldera of Churchill volcano, which forms a twin volcano with 5005-m-high Mount Bona. The two peaks comprise the highest volcano in the United States.

E-commerce implies several activities. One of the most significant activity is the consummation of negotiations between sellers and buyers with the aim of reaching agreements. In order to automate these activities the intelligent agent software model is applied. In this work, it is proposed the design of a seller agent for negotiating in competitive frameworks, where many seller agents and a buyer agent negotiate products or services based on several properties. In that context, the aim of the seller agent will be to make offers that improve the other ones sent by other sellers and to maximize its profit. The design is based on the application of fuzzy logic and evolutional algorithms. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z Evolutionaty training for dynamical recurrent neural networks: an application in finantial time series prediction http://hdl.handle.net/2099/3666 Title: Evolutionaty training for dynamical recurrent neural networks: an application in finantial time series prediction Authors: Delgado Calvo-Flores, Miguel; Pegalajar Jiménez, Mª Carmen; Pegalajar Cuéllar, Manuel Abstract: Theoretical and experimental studies have shown that traditional training algorithms for Dynamical Recurrent Neural Networks may suffer of local optima solutions, due to the error propagation across the recurrence.

In this paper, the training capabilities of evolutionary techniques are studied, for Dynamical Recurrent Neural Networks. The performance of the models considered is compared in the experimental section, in real finantial time series prediction problems. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z

'Game of Thrones' Season 4 first look footage: Joffrey's wedding, Tyrion in shackles and moreAdd to Favorites | Game of Thrones
HBO has delivered a very exciting early holiday gift for "Game of Thrones" fans. Tucked in a trailer teasing the network's upcoming content is a first look at the fantasy series' upcoming fourth season.
At first glance, the trailer doesn't seem to show much. A person on horseback races toward a massive structure in a desert. Tyrion walks in shackles. Joffrey ponders. A clean-shaven Jaime Lannister flips through a book. Sansa looks happy. But on closer examination, these actually are some of the key moments from Season 4.
If you want to remain unspoiled for Season 4, don't keep reading about the context of these scenes. Season 4 teases are below. You've been warned!
Tyrion has made no secret of his dislike of Joffrey in previous seasons, and that backfires in Season 4. After something happens to the young king, Tyrion is made the top suspect. That's why he's in shackles, though fans of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" books will be surprised to see Sansa in the background.
King Joffrey is doing a lot more than just pondering and looking pensive in this photo. In this scene from the Royal Wedding, fans should pay specific attention to the grapes in front of the king and the fact that Lady Olenna, the Queen of Thorns, is walking away. Those details are pretty important farther down the road.
This version of Jaime Lannister looks quite different than the one fans were used to seeing in Season 3. He's clean-shaven, has short hair and has a fake gold hand to replace the one he lost last season. As for the book he's flipping through, it's the White Book, which the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard is in charge of maintaining.
One thing's certain about this shot of Sansa: She's not in King's Landing anymore. Based on the smile (smile!!) on her face, Sansa doesn't seem to have left the home of King Joffrey against her will. If we're not mistaken, this looks like it could be a familiar location.
As for this ... we're not sure. Is it Daenerys' assault on Meereen? The arrival of the Red Viper? A first look at Dorne? Whatever it is, it's sure to be great.
"Game of Thrones" Season 4 will premiere in Spring 2014.

OUR love affair with Einstein is over. This time last year, we were celebrating his legacy as part of World Year of Physics. We couldn't get enough of black holes, gravity and space-time. Less than two months later, NASA announced that it was postponing most of its "Beyond Einstein" cosmology programmes to help pay for space shuttle flights. It is a decision that could have devastating consequences for our understanding of the cosmos.
NASA's decision to divert $3.1 billion from its science programme marks a spectacular U-turn. Only last September the agency's chief, Mike Griffin, vowed not to take "one thin dime" from the science budget to pay for human space flight. Now NASA is aiming for 16 shuttle flights to complete the construction of the International Space Station, and one to service the Hubble Space Telescope. Aside from Hubble, the benefits to science will be next to nothing.

Swim shorts are comfortable and perfect for the pool and beach. I have heavy thighs and these fit well around the legs. My only complaint -- after about 6 months of 3x per week pool use, the color fades.

These swim shorts are now light purple after 20 uses. :(
I've had several of these and I like them. They have the best drawstring of the various brands that I've had over 20+ years. Sounds silly, I know, but other brands have drawstrings that are too short or too flimsy or both. The only negative in my opinion is the colorfastness of the dye used. These trunks fade fast. I've had black, navy and royal blue trunks. Black color held up best. The navy turned to a dark rust color in about 6 months and the royal blue turned powder blue in about 4 weeks. I'm afraid to try the red! So, if you have a body shape that's not conducive to wearing briefs or jammers (eg. waist larger than hips), these trunks are great for your lap swimming and modesty.
Fit great. Looks great. Just what I wanted for lap swim.
Fit great. Look great. Just what I was looking for.
How much can you say about shorts? They have pockets! They fit well and look good.
This is the first pair of TYR swim shorts that I've purchased, and they seem well constructed. The fit is good, and I like that they are above the knee, unlike most swim shorts these days. The red color is very vibrant...I'll have to see if it lasts. They dry very quickly and are a great value.
My previously owned TYR Deck Short, also black, faded badly after only about 3 or 4 months of light use in an indoor YMCA pool. I gave it good care by washing it after every use, a centrifugal spin-dry, followed by indoor air drying. I would like to know if this short life is normal for this item.
Great for swimwear as well as casual wear. Being vertically challenged I'm not a big fan of long inseams so these shorts are perfect for me. Lightweight and comfortable.I did cut out the mesh nut-huggers for a little more comfort, I didn't see the need for them to be in there since I don't swim.
A very nice suit. Fits to size advertised. Dries quickly, and looks good. However, a lot of cautions on the tag: don't wash in detergent, don't dry in direct sunlight, don't leave in rolled-up towel.

Founded in Southern California in 1985, TYR™ has since developed a reputation for high-quality products and equipment. TYR competition swimwear and triathlon gear have been a dominant force in their respective industries. The company is also known for its TYR goggles, swim apparel, triathlon wetsuits and a wide variety of swimming equipment.
TYR was the first company to introduce a pair of goggles designed to fit a woman's face (the TYR T-72). TYR was also responsible for the famous red bathing suits featured on the hit television series "Baywatch." TYR consults with current and former athletes when developing its products. Swimmers know that TYR is a leader in swimsuits, warm-up suits, and swim training equipment. The TYR Tracer Series is one of the most advanced technical suit lines on the market. The TYR Hurricane wetsuits and the TYR Torque collections include top-of-the-line suits for the competitive swimmer.
TYR has also moved into competitive running equipment. From running shirts to shorts, its apparel is designed with the runner in mind. Built with moisture wicking fabric and antimicrobial material, TYR running apparel is designed to give the athlete the most comfortable, dry clothing on the market.
The name "TYR" is derived from the Norse god of warriors, who is said to have embodied victory and glory. Much the same can be said about the athletes who started TYR. Executive Vice President, Steve Furniss, was an Olympian who competed in the 1972 and 1976 Summer Games, and captained the 76th U.S. Olympic Swim Team.

Another option that is particularly fun for families is the Swansea Bay Rider, a train, operated throughout the summer, that runs around the bay area to various stops. On the Bay Rider, you will enjoy scenic views of the area and visit destinations such as Blackpill, West Cross, Norton and Oystermouth. Next, return to your Sixt rental car and drive to the breathtakingly beautiful Gower Peninsula, approximately 6.4 km west of Swansea. There, you can visit gorgeous beaches, cliffs and caves as part of an all-day experience if you have the time. Continue your visit to this area by stopping at Pennard Castle and Weobley Castle, both ancient and weathered by time and the elements. There is certainly more to see, including great sporting events and theater.
You are sure to have a wonderful vacation in Swansea, UK. Don't forget to rent your car from Sixt!

Thread: Heater Thermal Cut-off
I have a Tiger River Spa Sumatran (model N) It has been working fine for the last 6 months. I have not used it for 2 weeks and it is due for water change out. Water was cold and power light blinking. Troubleshooting section says it is either 1)GFCI and high limit thermostat 2) No-fault 6000 heater and heater thermal cut-off or 3) Silent flo 5000 circulation pump and circulation pump thermal cut-off. Solutions are the following: 1) clogged filter 2)blockage withing the plumbing 3)non-functioning heater circulation pump 4)power was not disconnected before draining 5) air lock in the plumbing lines. I drained the spa and followed refill procedure and ran spa and jets to bleed off any air. Once the heater gets to hot than same thing. Booklet only says it is one of the 5 problems. Once fixed it should work. 1)new filter 2)don't know 3)don't know 4)power was cut off for draining 5)I filled according to instructions and ran jets to instructions.
Once the heater cools everything is fine but will trip in about 15 minutes? How do I check 2 and 3 and is there anything I am missing that you can suggest? I even put a plunger over the inlet were the heated water comes into the spa and I can move water and can not see any blockages or hear any air pockets. HELP
Your getting a low flow of water through the heater.
Chances are you have a circulation pump thats not pumping enough water. The inlet you spoke of -should actually be the heater return line as the intake goes through the filters. So.. if your not getting a steady flow of water from that return line -- your circ pump is most likely dead or at least lazy. It should be moving one gallon every 30 seconds,andy less and the high limit could trip.

I would like to let Swift Current and the surrounding area know just how lucky we feel we are to have a facility the calibre of our Cypress Regional Hospital.
We had visitors from several different areas while my late husband and I were patients there, and they all had many positive comments to make.
While we were patients there, both Bob and I were treated with compassion and with great care and concern for our comfort and well being. We feel that the staff, especially those on Unit 4, are "First Class".

As of Monday, July 30, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
LONDON — Zara Phillips had a few things to celebrate Monday: Her first wedding anniversary — and a penalty-free ride through the treacherous cross-country portion of the Olympic equestrian eventing competition that counted toward Britain's second-place finish going into the final round.
Her cousins, Princes William and Harry, donned "Team GB" polo shirts and joined an estimated 50,000 less-regal fans in Greenwich Park to root for Phillips as she negotiated her horse over 28 obstacles and a slippery course that claimed a dozen fallen riders.
"The crowd was unbelievable!" Phillips said after she finished Day 2 of her Olympic equestrian debut. "I hope I didn't take any heads off on the way cutting corners."
On Sunday, Phillips' grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh, joined her mother in the VIP stands to watch her earn a respectable score in the dressage portion of her Olympic debut. After cross-country, she'll compete in show jumping today, the final portion of eventing. The big question is whether her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II — an accomplished equestrian in her own right — will come to watch.
Phillips' ride Monday was one of the top three scores counted in Britain's second-place standings going into today's final show jumping round with 130.2 points. Germany led with 124.7 points and Sweden was third with 131.4. The United States was fifth with 155.2.
Phillips, a former world and European eventing champion who is 14th in line to the throne, said the only drawback to the raucous cheers was that she couldn't hear the timer ticking on her wrist. Timer or not, her under-the-limit ride added no further penalty points to her 46.1 score from dressage a day earlier and left her tied for 10th place in the individual standings.
Like golf, the low score wins in equestrian eventing.
William and Harry watched from the main equestrian arena, joined by William's wife, Kate, and Camilla, the wife of Prince Charles. Kate wore a white blouse and navy blue jacket, keeping in line with the Union Jack colors the royal family has worn to Olympic events so far.
Seated alongside William and Harry were Phillips' other first cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, the daughters of Prince Andrew.
Phillips' mother, Princess Anne, herself a former Olympian eventing competitor, watched from the grounds of the twisty, hilly course dotted with 28 fences, hedges and water obstacles in Greenwich Park, London's oldest royal park.
Phillips said her time — well inside the 10-minute, 3-second time limit — was particularly good given that her horse, High Kingdom, lost a shoe during the ride. That made it tougher for him to keep his footing and make the quick turns needed to complete the 5.7-kilometer (3.5-mile) course within the time limit.
"He did amazing," she said. "He really grew up and stepped up to the plate."
She mentioned that it was a special day for other reasons too: Last July 30, she married England rugby player Mike Tindall in the "other" royal wedding of 2011 that followed William and Kate's nuptials.
The thrilling cross-country portion of the three-discipline eventing competition is designed to test horse and rider endurance — and guts — and the course up and down the hills of Greenwich Park fit the bill. There were razor-sharp turns in between jumps, blind 2-meter (6-foot) drops and tricky combination fences — each one designed with a very British story behind it.
The royals, including the Queen, were watching the competition on big screens inside the main arena; the course came into the arena itself for the 16th obstacle, a tricky combination jump that's a miniature version of the Tower of London.

Wednesday, Twitter released the updated version of TweetDeck for web, Chrome, Mac, and Windows. Most noticeable in the release is a lighter theme that now gives users a choice between black and white backgrounds. The information network also added different font sizes, made scrolling between columns faster and less wonky (thank goodness!), and implemented improvements to user profiles. Twitter users posted mixed reactions to the changes, with some indicating that the design changes have made the application look a bit odd. The new TweetDeck is weird. It's uglier than the old one and it seems to be showing only old mentions & messages. Huh. — Connor Beaton (@zcbeaton) October 10, 2012 The update, unfortunately, isn't without functional oddities as well. This TweetDeck user noticed that, upon update, her mentions and interactions from the previous 12 hours were nowhere to be found. A scan of Twitter updates shows that plenty of other users are experiencing the same bug. Some users have reported missing days and weeks of past mentions. Others have found mentions to be out of order. Remember that time I upgraded the Tweetdeck desktop app and it lost a week and a half of @ replies and mentions? You know, just now? — Chris Thilk (@ChrisThilk) October 10, 2012 The Tweetdeck update from Twitter is great! Now my Mentions timeline renders *backwards*. Makes total sense. http://t.co/e4e0gpsn — Mike Rastiello (@mikerastiello) October 10, 2012 When pinged for comment, a Twitter spokesperson said the company was looking into the misplaced mentions matter.

Miley Cyrus: Watch the 'Real and True' videoAdd to Favorites | 2013 MTV EMA's
Miley Cyrus' new video for "Real and True" debuted just before Sunday's (Nov. 10) 2013 MTV Europe Music Awards. Now, watch the video here in order to see Miley as a nearly-naked space creature singing her love for Mr. Hudson and Future.
The video tells the story of a couple of astronauts (Mr. Hudson and Future) who find a hot, female creature (Cyrus) lying under the dust of an alien planet. They use some sort of futuristic technology to heal alien Miley to her pristine, silvery condition.
Alien Miley thanks the spacemen by singing and dancing with them before the guys leave her alone on the dusty surface, saying goodbye.
Related: Miley Cyrus smokes a joint at the MTV EMAs 2013
It's not clear from the video whether alien Miley wanted to stay or was dumped by her new astronaut friends. The message is much happier if you think she wanted to hang out in the dust.

THE establishment of a strong standards body in developing economies is crucial for building a strong domestic industrial sector to speed up economic growth and poverty alleviation.
Standards are crucial for increasing efficiency, an issue highlighted as global challenge like sustainability and financial uncertainty where respective organisations are tasked to achieve better results with less waste. Despite having in place the Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS), Tanzania still face an uphill struggle to control and eliminate substandard goods in the market which strangle domestic industries, jobs and denying the government substantial revenue.
The Confederation of Tanzania Industries (CTI) Executive Director Ms Christine Kilindo said in an interview last week that where influx of substandard goods is massive, local and domestic investors are seriously discouraged to inject their capital into the manufacturing sector.
"The issue of substandard commodities in the market is of serious concern and if measures to address it lack, manufacturing sector will suffer and adversely on the economy," she said. She also called upon the standards watchdog to take stern legal measures against traders who import substandard goods to make quick gains, saying the malpractice contributes towards killing domestic industries and robs the government of revenue.
She said local businesses are to be blamed for continually importing substandard goods without considering adverse effects on the economy and the health of consumers. She said CTI was behind the Pre-shipment Verification of Conformity (PVoC) by the TBS aimed at controlling certain categories of imported consumer goods.
The PVoC Standards Programme is a conformity assessment and verification procedure applied to specific products at the respective exporting countries, to ensure their compliance with the applicable Tanzanian Technical Regulations and Mandatory Standards or approved equivalents. Official data from CTI indicates that the nation incurs losses of between 15 and 25 per cent of the total domestic revenue annually, and between 540bn/- and 900bn/-annually in tax evasions related to counterfeits and substandard goods are concealed.
Some of the substandard goods frequently imported include television sets, radio cassette recorders, radio sets, electric cables, pirated digital video discs (DVDs), human medicines, body creams, skin lotions, toothpastes, dry cells and motor vehicle spare parts.
Consequently, consumers began to complain about products that are faulty, have an amazingly short life-span and are posing health hazards to them. TBS is responsible for the adoption and application of the standards for both imported and domestically manufactured products in the Tanzanian market.
However in recent days, the standard watchdog has failed to stand firm in curbing importation of substandard goods. Due to the sensitivity of the instrument, the Minister of Industry and Trade, Dr Abdallah Kigoda last week dissolved the TBS board of directors for failure to meet the set goals and objectives necessary to putting domestic market clean from substandard commodities.
"Inefficiencies and lack of accountability in the standard watchdog are among the reasons for the dissolution of the board of directors," remarked Dr Kigoda while speaking to journalists over the weekend. He said failure by TBS to perform its duties and responsibilities has adverse and direct impacts on people's lives.
"The decision to disband the TBS board of directors basically aims at enhancing productivity in regulating the standards of goods," he said, adding that, "We will be very keen in forming a new instrument that will deliver according to the set goals and objectives."
Standards facilitate everybody's access to products, structures and services. They include safety considerations, ergonomics and harmonized test methods all geared towards increasing accessibility. The former head of standards watchdog, Mr Charles Ekelege, was suspended to pave way for investigations over a number of irregularities and financial mismanagement in TBS, based on the Controller and Auditor General (CAG)) report.
In an interview, Mr Oliver Mhaiki, the chairman of the suspended board of directors said he was unaware of the reasons behind the minister's decision to disband the board, "We were performing our duties properly, I don't know the reasons that prompted the minister's decision." With regards to the post of the board's chairperson, who is the presidential appointee, Mr Mhaiki said it was upon the authority to decide on his fate.
Apart from the chairperson, other board members who comprised the disbanded board are Mr Donald Chidowu, Mr Rashid A Salim, Dr Bertha Maegga, Mr Odilo Majengo, Prof Ntengua Mdoe, Mr Peter Machunde, Mr Godfrey Mariki, Ms Suzy Laizer, Ms Elpina Mlaki, Mr George Simbachawene and the suspended director General.
The minister's decision should be taken as one of the government concerted efforts to deal with the problem of substandard goods, failure to which the economy will live to suffer the consequences. It is also important to involve wananchi in finding a permanent solution, as they are the most affected, before our country is turned into a dumping ground of substandard and counterfeit goods.

This will probably be as popular as a million £ gas bill, but here it comes anyway. I initially joined in with the " OMG where's my start menu " crowd and enjoyed laughing, ignorantly, at everybody else. Then a friend bought be a copy of Win 8 pro on release, which I've now been using for around a month.
I really haven't noticed the lack of a start menu on my desktop. What I have noticed is much snappier performance in 2D and 3D apps, copying files and general day to day usage. My friend initially used classic shell with his copy because he really liked the start menu, but now is running just the same as I am and loves it too, along with the rest of his family.
If you haven't tried it, try it, and if you have tried it, but really insist that it hurts your eyes, lowers your sex appeal or kills your children, you will have to stay on the slower, less secure windows 7.
No need to whine about it though, windows 9 will be along shortly, and they will probably have removed something else you can't live without
Regardless, you are spending a lot of time in this and other similiar threads complaining about 8 when you could be " power using " on 7, but I'm sure it's not because you're jelly

TSTC, TAMUK and USDA Partnership Paying Dividends for Local Ag Students
Friday, March 1, 2013
Agriculture Technology Chairperson Armando Duarte has been around long enough to see many great people come through one of the oldest programs at Texas State Technical College.
Around since 1972, the program was the first on campus to partner with a four-year university creating a relationship with Texas A&M-Kingsville. TSTC's Ag Department has also partnered with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to help current students work in related fields once out of school.
On March 1, Duarte celebrated 17 years at TSTC and with the ag tech program. He's seen many positives in his years at TSTC but the Step Up Program, initiated two years ago, has been one of the best and most beneficial.
The Step Up Program is a collaboration between the USDA, TAMUK and TSTC. The program provides assistance for students in the Agriculture Program in the form of scholarships and/or paid internships with USDA agencies. Step Up allocates funds to cover travel and stipends for internships.
"There's a lot of competition for jobs right now," Duarte said. "it's hard and a lot of professional industries like the USDA prefer a bachelor's over an associates degree. The USDA has a lot of branches in which our students can go out and get hired. It's a positive all around."
Students in the program are required to maintain a strong grade point average, graduate with an Associates of Applied Science degree in Agriculture Technology and commit to transfer to TAMUK for completion of the Bachelor's of Science in Agriculture.
The students in the program can receive funding for up to two years through this grant with the emphasis on an ultimate transfer to TAMUK. TSTC provides scholarships for a minimum of nine students each year.
"Our relationship has been getting stronger and stronger," Duarte said of TAMUK. "Of the students that graduate here with an associates degree, 85 percent go on to pursue their bachelors in ag science from Kingsville. And most of them are out of there in one and a half years."
Duarte said the USDA has been a wonderful partner for TSTC as well. Current TSTC students serve internships with the USDA's APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) office here in Harlingen.
"It's close to campus and it's convenient," Duarte said. "They can go to work on their internship and come back to classes here. When they finish their associates, they move on to TAMUK and maintain their scholarships. And when they graduate, well hopefully they'll get in with the USDA."
The Step Up Program is exclusively for students in the Agricultural Technology program at TSTC Harlingen. This is the second year of the program. As of this semester, there are eight students in the pipeline. Four of those have already transferred to TAMUK, and the other four are completing requirements for transfer at TSTC.

Outcomes are only useful in quality assessment when the specific processes of care that relate to them are known. Then, if the outcomes are not as good as they should be, it is clear what aspects of care have to be addressed to try to improve them. In other words, if you do not know how an outcome relates to processes of care, you will not know what to do to improve the outcome when you find that it is poor at a particular hospital.
It also helps to measure outcomes from different perspectives. For example, palliative chemotherapy for metastatic cancer may decrease a patient's tumor burden and potentially prolong life, but it might also cause severe fatigue and weight loss, so the patient's clinical status might improve while functional status declines.
It is also important to use outcomes that can be reasonably related to the health care sys-tem-and the particular part of the system—that one is assessing. It is not reasonable to hold a provider or plan accountable for an outcome, unless the outcome is a direct result of the way care is provided. Sometimes, however, a single outcome may be influenced by many factors over many years, of which health care is only a part. Outcomes for lung cancer, for example, may reflect the quality of care provided over many years, including the quality of smoking prevention and cessation counseling for adolescents and adults. Outcomes for breast cancer may in part depend on the quality of screening and early detection. Given the frequency with which most patients change clinicians or health plans, it could be difficult to relate the quality of any one clinician or plan to some outcomes. Similarly, if one is trying to use outcomes to assess the quality of surgeons treating a sarcoma at various hospitals, it is important to distinguish whether the outcomes are related to the skill of the surgeon, competence of the surgical team, or organizational characteristics of the hospital. One might also want to consider the skill of the medical oncologist prescribing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. For breast cancer, treatment may depend upon an oncologist, a surgeon, and a radiation oncologist. It can be difficult to distribute responsibility among them.
In addition, outcomes should be measured on samples that are large enough to detect differences in quality. Adverse outcomes are often uncommon events, so large samples are needed to detect clinically meaningful differences between hospitals. To detect a difference of 2 percentage points in the rate of catheter infections between two hospitals (e.g., 5 percent for one and 7 percent for the other), each hospital would have to have at least 1,900 catheterized patients.
In summary, many challenges are inherent in using outcomes to measure quality of care. If these are not addressed, it is difficult to determine whether different outcomes observed among the patients of three physicians are attributable to the physicians themselves. Process measures have their own challenges (e.g., one must make sure that there is a proven link between the process and a desired outcome), but such measures can be quite effective in showing whether providers are doing what they should so that their patients have the best chance of achieving good outcomes. There has been more experience using process measures than outcomes measures to assess quality, and many quality assessment systems depend primarily or exclusively on process measures. However, interest in improving outcomes measurement is increasing, so that outcomes might be used along with process measures to provide more useful assessments of health care quality.
In conclusion, to assess quality of care, measures of structure, process, or outcome can be used. If outcomes measures are used, care must be taken to account for differences that might simply reflect differences in other factors, such as patient selection or case mix. If structure or process measures are used, they should be associated with the desired outcomes. In addition, to make inferences about quality, a measure must be compared to a standard.

Related Party Loans
Considerations and Options
For many people with a SMSF, or looking to form a SMSF, the opportunity to allow the SMSF to borrow from the Members of the Fund and leverage into property with slightly more cost effective structures is appealing.
For many people the option to make a loan to the Fund, as opposed to an un-deducted contribution, is a useful way to make large sums available to the SMSF quickly and with a greater degree of flexibility.
Likewise, related party lending can allow a SMSF to borrow at higher Loan to Value Ratios (LVR) and lower interest rates. The latter was particularly true for the first year or so after the SIS Act was amended ~ however for many the "urban myth" that third-party (i.e. bank) loans to SMSF's are at significantly higher rates persists.
Regardless of whether you choose to use a third-party loan, a related party loan, or a combination of both ~ you will be well served by using the services of a SMSF Loans specialist who can ensure that your scenario is presented to prospective lenders in the best light and assist your advice Team to structure the transaction in an efficient, timely and compliant manner.
Below are some considerations that we believe ought to be taken into account when deciding whether to use a related party loan and, if so, how best to utilise available assets to maximise opportunities going forward. Sadly, it has been our experience that few SMSF Trustees or their Advisers are taking all relevant considerations into account.

General Advice Warning: Nothing on this page constitutes financial advice nor is it a specific recommendation. Your personal situation has not been taken into account and you must seek your own legal, financial and taxation advice in determining what loan structures are best for your unique circumstances and goals.
When looking to utilise a related party loan people will normally fall into two broad categories:
The following table outlines some of the advantages and considerations of the various permutations available for related party loans to your SMSF.

ATO Concerns
Regardless of where the money for a related party loan has been sourced from, it is important that you can demonstrate that you are charging a commercial or 'arms-length' rate of interest to your fund. Some points to note are:

Why you should listen : Zach Klein previews the Atlanta Falcons' side of the Thursday night game. Klein also recaps the Falcons' season thus far and discusses why the team has been such a disappointment this year. The Falcons are 2-8 this year but were 9-1 at the same time last year.

I am so torn with this. your colours choices are superb. Also non-organic rendering is effective. however all of the "flesh" colours are flat and lacking depth and texture. Is this deliberate? It's almost like your referencing backgrounds and getting lost with the main characters.
Check my sketchbook if you're bored
And my blog!
October 28th, 2006 #3
Ive always thought this, but im not sure if I mentioned it around.
Your talent in rendering, effects, and colours are very very good - but these just hide some very serious anatomy errors in pretty much all your figures and organic objects. Everything looks very flat - i think you should take more time to define light sources and pick your surfaces more objectivly - dont gradient every colour/shade - get some heavier changes of shade to define the shapes, be more aware of planes and form, than just 2d shapes. Take what u use in the backgrounds and props, and put that into ure characters.
Keep it up tho, in a sense ure half way there, at the very least.

Special offer: now 10% off original price of $2,250
The world's leading retailer of natural and organic foods with $12.9 billion in fiscal 2013 sales, Whole Foods Market has long been way ahead of the general retail curve, recognizing, capturing, and driving trends with a strategy of carrying a broad selection of high quality foods that appeal to both natural/organic food shoppers and gourmets. The chain's retail strengths echo market strategies similar to its competitor Trader Joe's, as both seek to capitalize on growing consumer interest in natural and organic products. In many ways, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's also have very similar—and actually often the same—customers. Yet, the striking differences between the two chains are what keep the same consumers shopping at both. At Whole Foods, the focus is premium quality and huge selection. At Trader Joe's, the focus is a sharply edited assortment of great products at great prices.
In separate chapters, Whole Foods and the Natural Food Channel analyzes Whole Food's historical growth and expansion strategies, mission/position, store location and design, product standards and programs, use of private label, pricing, advertising and use of social media, organizational structure, ethical and environmental initiatives, consumer demographics and psychographics, and more.
In addition the Retail Competitors chapter examines the wave of up-and-coming competitors in the natural foods space. In the past two years, several growth-oriented specialty food retailers and natural food chains—including Sprouts Farmers Market, The Fresh Market, Fairway Market, and Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage—tapped the stock market with initial public offerings (IPOs). Natural Markets Food Group, which owns the Mrs. Green's Natural Market chain, is said to be eyeing an IPO as well. Then there is startup company Fresh Thyme Farmers Market, backed by Midwest-based supercenter retailer Meijer Co. It also is strongly rumored that billionaire investor Ron Burkle's private equity firm Yucaipa Cos. plans to revive the Wild Oats Market name, converting the Fresh & Easy stores it acquired from Tesco Plc in November 2013 into Wild Oats natural foods markets. No. 1 supermarket operator Kroger Co., which maintains more than 2,400 stores across the country under regional banners including Kroger, Ralph's, and Fry's, is also making a play for the natural and organic food space and considers itself the second-largest player in this market after Whole Foods.
Each chapter contains copious tables, charts, graphs, and illustrations that reinforce and make easy to grasp points made in the text.
Our sources of information for Whole Foods and the Natural Food Channel include primary research entailing interviews with retailers and other members of the industry, and on-site examination of retail stores. Secondary research involved the evaluation and comparison of data from articles found in financial, marketing, and industry publications, as well as on corresponding websites and in consumer social media. Other sources for secondary data include annual reports, 10-Ks, transcripts of earnings calls, and literature from individual companies. Consumer data are derived from Simmons National Consumer Surveys for Summer 2013, from Experian Marketing Services.
Trader Joe's and the Natural Food Channel (February 2014) is also available from Packaged Facts as a companion report. Chapters 3 and 4 in these reports contain parallel content. If you purchase Whole Foods and the Natural Food Channel, receive a $750 discount on our Trader Joe's report.

Baladweyne — The Ethiopian troops who have recently crossed into Somalia and were deployed in Kalabeyr key junction have made search operations in the area, witnesses said on Sunday.
Witnesses said the Ethiopian troops made the search operations in the mountains near Kalaberyr village which is about 20 km north of Beledweyne town in Hiraan region in central Somalia.
They have reportedly stopped the circulation of the traffic and the people in the area but the movement has returned to normalcy when they have ended their operations.
It is not known the reason behind their operations but some reports suggest that the Ethiopian troops were inspecting mines in the area.
The Ethiopian troops reached in kalabeyr on 20 May 2009 and made several search operations in the area but they have not arrested any one.

Feedback includes an item on an advertisement from the zoology department of the University of Oxford (27 September). Students of exploration history will know, as I did, that the advert that caught your attention is a direct derivation of the famous advert placed by Ernest Shackleton early last century, when trying to recruit a team for his first expedition to Antarctica.
Shackleton's ad read: "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success."
Curiously, Shackleton was swamped by applicants. Perhaps Oxford hopes the same reverse psychology will work for them.

Officers for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission busted fishermen for too many panfish in Gulf County last month.
Officer McMillion was on patrol in the Apalachicola Wildlife and Environmental Area near the Saul's Creek Boat Ramp, when he observed a vessel approaching with two subjects on board. McMillion approached the two men and asked them if they had caught any fish.
The individuals opened their cooler which was full of fish. McMillion asked the two men how many they had caught and they said they didn't know. As the officer began counting the panfish, one of the two men said, "I'll save you some time. There are more than a hundred in the cooler."
McMillion counted a total of 139 panfish, which is 39 fish over the daily bag limit. Citations were issued to both subjects for possession of over the bag limit of panfish.

columnBy Ousman Njie
Children are turning up in their numbers to seek for financial assistance to continue their schooling. Pressure is on parents whose children are in grade 9 or grade 12. They have to pay exam fees and many are given up to the first week of December to meet their obligation or forfeit their places.
Two young men appeared in our office yesterday to report that since their plight was published no good Samarian came to their aid.
They are sitting without going to school. The sky is not the limit to their educational pursuits. Finance is the limit to their educational pursuits. On the same day another young man came. He has only been able to pay 1,500 dalasi to be enrolled. He has to pay another 1,500 dalasi to get books. That is not available. He has been sent to many places for assistance but nothing is forthcoming. He started late and is to take the exams in December without text books to read. His father is an elderly man who relies on charity to survive. The student's future is hanging on the balance of probability.
A mother also came to explain her dilemma. Her daughter was given a bill amounting to five hundred dalasi plus to be paid before the 3rd December to be able to take her grade 9 exams. She cannot even raise money to feed the children, not to mention making savings to be able to pay fees. Some weeks ago an orphan girl child who is given a bill of 1000 dalasi to purchase uniforms, exercise books and contribute to school fund came for assistance. We did refer her to a major institution for assistance but to no avail. She is to come back before the second school term begins to check whether there is any progress.
Section 30 paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of the Constitution state that "All persons shall have the right to equal educational opportunities and facilities and with a view to achieving the full realisation of that right-
(a) basic education shall be free, compulsory and available to all;
(b) secondary education, including technical and vocational education, shall be made generally available and accessible to all by every appropriate means, and in particular, by the progressive introduction of free education;
(c) higher education shall be made equally accessible to all, on the basis of capacity, by every appropriate means, and in particular, by progressive introduction of free education;
The Constitutional provision is still collecting dust as the cost of education continues to soar above the means of average parents.

The Moving Families Initiative® is a national plan focusing on serving the needs of families moving with young children. The Initiative connects moving families with real estate agents who are REALTORS® to take a proactive approach on the physical and emotional strain kids face when changing neighborhoods and schools.
Millions of children move with their families every year, but the emotional and physical strain of changing schools, neighborhoods and friends is rarely addressed. The Moving Families Initiative® aims to alleviate the stress that inevitably comes with moving. It's important that kids develop the behavioral skills to thrive socially and emotionally in a new climate.
At the heart of the Moving Families Initiative® is a short animated children's DVD, The Great Moving Adventure, which helps young children deal with the emotional and physical impact of moving. The DVD is meant to be given as a gift from a participating real estate agent specifically to a family moving with young children.
If you're considering moving or relocating your family with young children, newborns to 18 years old, you are encouraged to contact your local, participating real estate agent for information on the Moving Families Initiative®, The Great Moving Adventure DVD, and steps to take to assist your kids in dealing with the emotional and physical challenges of moving.

#1 (3 weeks) hit single by Michael Jackson in 1983
One-Trick Pony is the fifth album released by Paul Simon, in 1980.
Paul Simon's One-Trick Pony was released concurrently with the film of the same name, in which Simon also starred. Despite their similarities, the album and film are musically distinct, each feature different versions of the same songs, as well as certain songs that appear exclusively on either the film or the album. The album is best known for the track "Late in the Evening" which was a hit for Simon in 1980, peaking at #6 in the U.S. Two of the tracks (the title song and "Ace in the Hole") were recorded live at the Agora Theatre and Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio in September 1979. The rest are studio cuts.
The record features several top session musicians (who also appeared in the movie as the character Jonah's backing band), including Eric Gale on lead guitar, Richard Tee on piano, Tony Levin on bass, and Steve Gadd on drums.
In 2004, One-Trick Pony was remastered and re-released by Warner Bros. Records. This reissue contains four bonus tracks, including "Soft Parachutes" and "Spiral Highway" (an early version of "How the Heart Approaches What It Yearns") both of which were featured in the film but were missing from the original album release. Also included in the re-release were the outtake of "All Because of You" (an early version of "Oh Marion") and "Stranded in a Limousine", which originally appeared on the 1977 compilation Greatest Hits, Etc..
After years of being available only on videocassette, in 2009, the film was finally released by Warner Brothers on DVD.

When an inmate in Pushmataha County jail found out that her Dell Laptop had been pawned, an arrest warrant was issued.
Police Chief Dwayne Morgan received a call from the Pushmataha County Jail and the jailer told him that Amber Kirkley was currently incarcerated in the jail due to a violation in drug court and was picked up on November 19, 2012. Kirkley had found out that Bobby Ray Merritt had pawned her laptop computer at Duncan's Pawn Shop and she wanted to file charges against Merritt.
In December, the U.S. health officials announced that this year's influenza season had started early and they predicted it would hit the United States hard. Unfortunately, as reports from around the country make clear, they were right.
Nancy Pelosi, the Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives, expressed support for raising additional taxes as a part of any negotiation for deficit reducing measures. On the CBS Sunday program, Face The Nation, Leader Pelosi was quoted as saying the recent fiscal cliff tax increase of $620 billion was "Not nearly enough on the revenue side."
Congressman Markwayne Mullin (OK-2) issued the following statement in response to Leader Pelosi's call for raising taxes on more Americans:
U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) today reacted to President Obama's announcement on guns that includes both Executive Orders and the pursuit of legislation through Congress.
"While we mourn with those who have lost loved ones, in no way should the actions of those few who act illegally impact the constitutional rights of the many," said Inhofe. "I will continue to strongly oppose any effort to undermine the Second Amendment and an individual citizen's right to keep and bear arms."

Reading spaces for kids are all over blog land. There's something so cozy and inspirational about a place designated for enjoying a good book, especially when the space is kid-sized.
Take a look at this round up of reading spaces, nooks and corners; some uber fabulous and some super simple. All you really need are books, a comfy chair and a little bit of imagination to make a reading space for kids welcoming.
I can't get the above reading nook out of my head. I love everything about it from the word "nook", the outdoor light, the black wall next to white paneling and the fact that it used to be a closet. I only wish we had a closet that we didn't need! (Get the tutorial and more photos of the Closet Turned Book Nook at Thrifty Decor Chic.)

AFC domination could come down to the Patriots and Steelers, who meet Sunday. Vinnie Iyer says Rashard Mendenhall and Mike Wallace give Pittsburgh an edge.
ATLANTA -- Many NFL observers looked at Thursday's Baltimore Ravens-Atlanta Falcons matchup as a potential Super Bowl 45 preview. On the Baltimore side, some were arguing that the Ravens might be the NFL's best team.
If that's the case, then the Falcons' 26-21 victory made the statement that before anybody in the NFC gets to Arlington, Texas, in February, they likely will need to go through the Georgia Dome.
The Falcons are 7-2, perfect on their home field. And with the exception of two rough road trips to quarterback Matt Ryan's home state of Pennsylvania, they are unblemished everywhere else.Read More

The content that follows was originally published on the Maine Beer Company website at http://www.mainebeercompany.com/our-beers/barrel-program-1/< >
Barrel Program I
Barrel Program I is a blend of two barrel-aged beers:
Beer 1 – An American farmhouse ale fermented in stainless steel with ale yeast, then aged for 20 months in French oak red wine barrels with a mix of wild yeast and souring bacteria.
Beer 2 – Peeper wort fermented 100% with Brettanomyces in French oak red wine barrels, and aged 12 months.
We bottled the blended beer in December 2012 and let it condition until its release. The result, a refreshing blonde ale with considerable barrel character. Barrel Program I was an exercise in patience – it took over 3 years to craft. We hope you enjoy it! Cheers!

ICU Medical Launches CardioFlo Minimally Invasive Hemodynamic Monitoring Sensor System
ICU Medical Inc. has launched the CardioFlo hemodynamic monitoring sensor system. CardioFlo is a minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring sensor system that, when used with an existing arterial catheter and connected to an Edwards Lifesciences Vigileo monitor, provides accurate and reliable hemodynamic monitoring data and an average of 40 percent cost savings over the Edwards Lifesciences FloTrac sensor.
CardioFlo facilitates the real-time assessment of hemodynamic and cardiovascular status, helping guide clinical decision-making and effective management of critically ill patients. In clinical testing, the level of agreement between the hemodynamic data provided by the Edwards Lifesciences FloTrac and the ICU Medical CardioFlo sensor systems was within 1 percent. As a result, CardioFlo provides a cost-effective alternative to the FloTrac sensor without sacrificing accuracy or reliability.
The monitoring system launched in January 2013.

Fun workout today, didn't do anything too fancy, only one drop set. But I had good energy and my shoulders are starting to feel consistently better, although I don't feel comfortable with holding my elbows out too far to my sides during overhead presses. Keeping them slightly to the front feels much better.
Dumbbell Seated Shoulder Press - 4 sets (12/12/10/8). Use one arm at a time here. Hold the dumbbells to your shoulders but only press upwards with one. You can either alternate or perform all on one then switch to the other.
Barbell Push Press - 4 sets (15/12/10/10). A little (light) Olympic lifting!
Standing Cross Cable Lateral Raises - 4 sets (12/12/10/10). These felt really good, bring your hands just slightly above shoulder height.
Standing Cable Front Raises - 3 sets (12/10/10). Alternate arms, bring your hands just above shoulder height.
Seated Cable Press Machine - 4 sets (12/10/8/8). I used the FreeMotion shoulder machine for this exercise.
Reverse Flyes - 4 sets (12/10/8/8). Use a seated fly machine in reverse. Be sure to pull your shoulders together.
Heavy Barbell Shrug superset with Plate Shrugs - 5 sets (15/12/10/10/10 and 15/15/15/15/15). Try and go heavy here, I used straps for the 10's. Superset with some slow and controlled 45-lb plate shrugs. On the last set of barbell shrugs, drop the weight to 135 (no matter where you ended up weight-wise) and do as many as you can (controlled!). I got 50 reps by rest/pausing, without setting the bar down and no straps. Don't forget the plate shrugs after the drop!
Machine Shrugs - 4 sets (15/12/12/10). Load the weight on and go. I used straps for 10.
