Can i do cardio after my weight workout? Will it prevent strength and muscle gains? Any information is appreaciated?
if you can do cardio on a seperate day. That is the preffered option of most people.
However if you have not got the time to go the gym on a non-lifting day. then do cardio after your workout. It may slow muscle gains. though its not going to make a huge difference especially if you keep the CV to short and intense.

i got 30min of cardio after everyday i work out 4 times a week. no power loss yet

You can do it. May hinder your strength results but just make sure your eating the right calories.
Never Giving In.
preferably put cardio on seperate days relegated for just cardio...but if u can't do that then just run high intensity short time period to maximize muscle retention and maximize fat loss...

I dont see how u ppl say do it on non lifting days. some of us lift 4-5 days a week. 2 days of cardio is worthless.
Burn calories when you lift, burn more calories after words, that way when u dont lift your giving ur body a break. You dont loose strength from running right after lifting unless your goal is to loose a TON of fat in a short amount of time. But with that goal it would happen weather you run after or on a another day

Best for strength would be to perform cardio on non-lifting days if you use a 3-day split or something of that nature. If your lifting frequency is higher than 3 days a week, you can do cardio on those days just fine. For optimum strength retention, separate the cardio from lifting as much as possible. Eg; lift when you wake up and do cardio before you go to sleep or vice versa.

The question is not "Can" you, the question is "Will that prevent muscle and strength gains." Generally, it is best to do cardio on another day. You need the time after your workout for recovery, but at the same time a cardio session before your workout would limit your strength.Originally Posted by weightliftguy
why is 2 days of cardio worthless? can you explain this to me please.Originally Posted by JamesBOMB

If you "Can" do any kind of cardio after a strength training workout, than you didn't work hard enough. There is no way you should be able to run on a treadmill, row on a rowing machine, or ride a stationary bike after a weightlifting workout. If you can do that, than you need to be thinking more about strength training, than cardio. Cardio is great to burn some calories, and it's great for your heart, but as far as changing your body focus on strength training.

This is 100% false. I work out as hard, or harder than anyone, and I still have the ability to follow any workout (except legs) with 15 minutes of cardio on the treadmill or elliptical machine to support my cardiovascular and fat loss goals. Brief cardio after lifting will not comprimise any weight training progress. Extended cardio will. Cardio is 10x better than weight training for losing fat, so if you want to lose more fat than weight training results in, do it.Originally Posted by The Real TO

I'm not saying that it will comprise your weight training progress. What I am saying is that after I workout I can't physically do any cardio because I am so exhausted after working out. I just lay down in the middle of the gym, and rest for about 10 minutes because the workout is so freakin hard.
Also, your statement about cardio is completely false. Cardio is not the answer to losing weight. Let me give you an example. When you go to your local gym, Bally's or Lifetime Fitness, etc, check out the body types of people on the cardio machines compared to the people lifting weights. I guarantee you that the people lifting weights will be 10x more lean, and in shape than the people doing cardio. Also the number #1 to lose weight is what you do or don't put into your mouth. Nutrition is the best way to lose weight.
Finally. If you can still do cardio after this workout, I applaude you.

Let's not get into a "my wang is bigger than your wang" competition here. But I think there may be an issue of non-random selection with your example. Lifters, I would say, generally tend to care more about their physique than your average treadmiller, hence they probably look more "in shape" due to a multitude of variables; not solely because they lift and others don't. Cardio, diet, and resistance training are the keys to most efficiently cutting fat in a healthy manner. Not one or the other.Originally Posted by The Real TO

Bottom line is: seperate cardio from weights as much as you can even if you do both in the same day. Just as dw06wu said
I agree, somewhat. After even the hardest workout, I also still maintain the ability to perform a cardio session. We have to take into consideration that everyone is different. One lifter may be at a different stage. Lifter "A" may have significant strength, but little muscular endurance. An untrained individual will certainly be more drained following a weight training session than someone who has become accustomed to resistance training, and is more experienced.Originally Posted by gino
The original question could be answered as follows, YES. "Can I do cardio after my weight workout?" Yes, of course you can. Will it maximize your results in strength and muscle mass improvements? No. The 2 hours following your training session are extremely important for recovery. You can take advantage of insulin spikes, hoard off catabolic effects, and get the ball rolling on your recovery period. The period directly following your resistance training session leaves your body in a state of catabolism. The muscle breakdown and damage does not stop once you put the barbell down. You can help to prevent this with pre/during/post workout recovery measures. However, if you throw in a cardio session after your workout you give your body little time to recover. The best time to perform a cardio workout would be on your off days in the morning (Waterbury, "Total Body Training"). This cardio session will help burn fat, speed up recovery, and build muscular endurance (Waterbury).

I also be another guy to say that is false. You can never 100% fatigue your muscles during a workout sessions.Originally Posted by The Real TO

And yes, you can do it after your workout, but doing it a separate time or on a separate day is optimal.
I don't know about everyone else, but I seem to get a helluva "cardio" workout doing lower body, otherwise, I will do it on my "off"(non-lifting) days. I get a great heartrate going during every hour workout I do 3 times a week.

First off, cardio IS the answer to cardiovascular health and losing MORE weight than your current diet allows. Not everyone knows enough about nutrition, or has the ability because of their schedule to eat perfectly every day. When it isn't possible to tune in on the diet more, it's simple to do a bit of cardio here and there to burn a few hundred extra calories and get the metabolism up a bit more.Originally Posted by The Real TO
Second, I've been working out for a long time, and I know how to get myself into contest shape via diet and training. The more refined your diet gets and the lower the calories, the less nutrients are being processed by your body...vitamins, minerals, etc. This can be detrimental to muscle building goals, so the best solution is to up the food intake a bit and get the caloric deficit via cardio.
Last, that observation of people on cardio machines vs weights is very poor. Think about it a bit, don't take it for face value. People vary in goals, genetics, knowlege, etc. Fat people NEED to be on the cardio machines because they lack the genetics and/or knowlege to reach their FAT LOSS goals otherwise. Lean people usually have better genetics and more knowlege about staying lean, and want MORE MUSCLE. That's why they're lifting weights. Most of the most muscular, lean guys in the world do cardio EVERY DAY. Do pro bodybuilders know how to diet? Yeah. It's not coincidence, there are benefits to cardio beyond what diet can provide.
Oh, and after that workout you just posted, I could probably do 60 minutes of intense cardio. No joke. I'm an athlete, and I consider myself to be in great cardiovascular/muscular endurance shape, despite being 215 at only 5'10". I work out real hard, and I limit the cardio to brief post-workout sessions because I've done my research, and there are plenty of reasons why this is good. I could do longer, but that would be detrimental to my muscle-building goals.
While it won't maximize results, brief (key word) post-workout sessions will not be detrimental either. Whether you get that post workout nutrition 5 minutes or 20 minutes after you put the dumbell down will have no impact whatsoever. Those same pathways that are primed to accept a flood of nutrients will still be open either way. Now 5 minutes or 60 minutes is a different story, but I wasn't suggesting long cardio after weights was good... Rest supports muscle more than anything else, so on a "rest" day from the weights, do just that, rest. Doing 15 minutes of cardio right after your workout 4-5 days a week will be better than taking those couple of rest days and doing a full cardio session.Originally Posted by NaturalBuilder

Gino. Wow. I don't know where to start.
#1. If you can do 60 minutes of cardio after that workout, than you might as well sign up to take on Ronnie next year. There is no freakin way.
#2. I'm wondering what your definition of intensity is? I've been reading some of your posts, and I haven't come across your definition of what you believe it is. Here's my definition. One set of all out, move that weight like your life depends on it, in a slow controlled manner. Intensity has to be high every single workout, or it isn't worth doing.
#3. Example of intensity. I did this at the start of my workout today. This is a challenge my boss gave to me. 1 1/2 Chins in 1 minute 30 seconds. Sounds easy. But do this protocol. Start at the top, and lower yourself for 30 seconds, then after a full stretch where your feet almost touch the ground, do a 30 second positive chin, then when you get to the top, reverse and go back down again for 30 seconds. Do this for Dips too. 1 set. This is what intensity is all about. If you can do it, which I'm sure you can because you are an ATHLETE, you do have an understanding of what intensity truly is.
#4. Your whole post about how genetics plays more of a factor in people who lift weights compared to those who do cardio is complete crap. You aren't one of those people who believe that genetics stand in everyone elses way of getting good results. I agree that genetics do have a roll in where a person can get to, but it is a very limiting factor. You have to be very strict on nutrition, and exercise to achieve your goals. But don't have this genetics limits people on cardio so they have to do it. That's just wrong.

he will not be able to do cardio intensly as if had not done weights. But it can be down. Plus other people do different intense work outs. Just becuase you may train more intensley, does not mean you may get better results. I have had to drop my intensity to get results. i am getting good gains with out going to faluire and full out intensity. but that deabte is another thread, well more a bumping another old thread.Originally Posted by The Real TO
I have done cardio ages ago when i trianed more intensly after a leg session which include a triple drop set on the leg press hitting faluire 3 times and doing 20 reps in total. I had a slight headahce after it. I did do some squats before this.Originally Posted by The Real TO
I know that is not easy and it will hurt. however I rather do that than doing a 20 rep squat breathing style. Plus to go that slow will take me a while to learn the techniques and timing of it. plus i do not feel super slow like that is best way to get big and strong. may hurt. but some of us what size and power.Originally Posted by The Real TO

Man, you've got to be kidding me. Seriously.
Yes, there is a way. Ronnie isn't successful in bodybuilding because he has high endurance. I could elaborate the reasons why, but I'd be wasting my energy here.Originally Posted by The Real TO
My definition of intensity is 100% effort, that's all. Usually, this is accompanied by blood shot eyes, lightheadedness, and a general hatred of everyone and everything. I'm not a pleasant person in the gym. My definition of punishment is grunting out 15 minutes of cardio having just completed one of my workouts...but this is nothing compared to 3-a-day football practices in 100 degree heat and people puking all over the field, and pre-season football training alone in the heat with a 60 lb vest on running up hills with my lungs and every muscle in my body burning with no one around to push me but myself. I am a driven individual that doesn't need lecturing about what intensity is. Anyone who knows me knows that, and I'd really like an opportunity to know you so we could put this to rest, but it's the internet, so I guess I'll just have to settle with you calling my intensity less-than that of yours. Oh well.Originally Posted by The Real TO
Yes I can do it, but I won't do something that doesn't benefit me in some way. This qualifies as just that. I think you need to do more research and do what your body and science says you should do. Efficiency is the key to productivity.Originally Posted by The Real TO
Some people are genetically leaner than others. Again, do some research before making these incorrect statements. For instance, my friend is naturally 210 lbs @ 5'10" and carries 7-8% bodyfat year-round. How often does he eat? Whenever he can...2, sometimes 3 meals a day. What does he eat? Whatever is around...pizza, sandwiches, cereal. How much protein does he take in? He has no idea, he doesn't keep track, nor does he take any supplements. He's just very genetically gifted. This is an extreme case, but there is a huge range between him and the fata$$ who starves themself and works out every day and has trouble losing weight. Look into calorie partitioning and how it differs from individual to individual. Again, research.Originally Posted by The Real TO
I think half of the issue here is you simply reading and understanding what I'm saying in my post. You take what I say and twist it around completely to make it work for what you're arguing. I never said that people with poor genetics with regards to bodyfat% MUST do cardio to get leaner, and are ONLY fat because of their genetics. I'm saying that for some, diet simply either isn't enough, or they (again, read my previous post) don't have the ability with their schedule or the knowlege to make those adjustments otherwise.
...which I believe I said here.

If anyone is looking for a way to quit, try this. Whenever you light up, try your hardest to image your baby coughing inside your womb. I know it sounds horrible and awful, but if you can conjure up this mental image EVERY time you light up, trust me, you WILL cut down or quit. It worked for me, and it was a suggestion made by my Dr. I also cut down daily and was completey cigarette free by 10 weeks. My son was born healthy but later was diagnosed with asthma. My daughter, who I NEVER smoked a single cigarette with, has no breathing problems whatsoever. So who knows if it was my 10 wks of smoking that caused his allergies and asthma. Of course quitting is the hardest thing in the world to do, but you'll never have a better reason. If you don't quit now, you NEVER WILL! And I don't need to lecture the reasons why you should quit for your own health. Just do it now while you have a good excuse and you'll be SO thankful down the road that you did.posted 08/24/2008 by SweetFields

As kids, we enjoyed chasing friends in a game of tag. Now that we are a little older, and work as fisheries biologists, we are involved in a different version of tag. No, we aren't chasing each other around one of the conservation areas. Rather, we're tagging a variety of fish species to learn about the critters that swim in our big rivers, lakes and streams. And you, as anglers of Missouri, can help us.
Marks and Tags
There are a variety of ways that fisheries biologists can identify individual or groups of fish. In some cases, the easiest thing to do is to mark the fish. For instance, the Missouri Department of Conservation began stocking fingerling lake sturgeon into our big rivers in the 1980s. The first two batches of fish were marked by clipping off one of their pelvic fins. This permanent mark affects the fish for only a short time, but allows biologists to identify those fish for the rest of their lives. Several of the fish have been recaptured in the Missouri, Mississippi and Illinois rivers.
Occasionally, biologists will cut off a small piece of a fish's fin to mark it temporarily. This short-term mark helps us estimate the number of fish in a population and has very little impact on the fish. Often, the piece of fin grows back.
The more common method of marking fish today is to use a variety of tags. Some of them are very simple, while others incorporate modern technology. A simple tag commonly used is called a coded wire tag, or CWT. This tag is a 2- to 3-millimeter-long piece of wire that is embedded somewhere in the fish's flesh or fins. The only way to detect it is to use a very sensitive metal detector. Because biologists can't see the tag, the tag's location on the fish is the key to telling us which batch of fish it belongs with. This type of tag is frequently used to mark an entire batch of fish stocked in a given year.
A more advanced type of tag is the passive integrated transponder tag, or PIT tag. PIT tags used in Missouri are rarely more than 5 or 6 millimeters long. Each tag has a unique series of letters and numbers that help us identify each individual fish. A special reader sends a signal to the PIT tag. The signal charges the

Just in Time for Social Media Week...
Using Twitter for Business
By Ben Martin
There are many ways of using Twitter for business benefits. The first is the branded Twitter account. This type of account is primarily used by marketing and quite often easily identifiable. The Tweets from these accounts are mostly company messages, whether informative or directional. By that I mean they contain URLs to landing pages for further reading. Then, there are the Twitter accounts used by individuals to promote their company or personal points of view. Although I advocate this, the value is allowing someone to see your personality too. In my opinion, your bio should reflect your interest and topics any follower would expect to see from you; for example "I am interested in all things social media, technology geek, and others" would provide your potential follower an idea about your Tweets.
A rule-of-thumb I try to stick to is keeping to a ratio of 1:10, which means one thing about the company and ten things about other topics.
Here are some thoughts about what Twitter can be used for:
Unless you have lots to say, there is no reason you should join Twitter and think you have to start talking. A huge 40 percent of Twitter accounts don't tweet but they listen and consume information. My advice: get on and do just that, listen.
When you are ready to begin talking, here are some ideas:

Quesadillas with Chutney and Brie
To make the tortillas more pliable, heat them over a direct flame until just warmed through (or heat them a few seconds in the microwave).
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, November 2005
- 4 flour tortillas, (10-inch or burrito-size)
- 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3/4 pound sliced leftover turkey
- 1/2 cup leftover Cranberry Chutney, plus more, for serving (optional)
- 8 slices thick Brie cheese (8 ounces)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spread one side of each tortilla with 1 tablespoon mustard. Divide the turkey over one half of each mustard-coated side; dress with cranberry chutney (about 2 tablespoons per quesadilla). Layer each with 2 Brie slices, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold and press to seal edges. Brush on all sides with olive oil; transfer to two rimmed baking sheets.
Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve topped with more chutney, if desired.

A bomb threat reported at Seymour Middle School on Wednesday afternoon led to the evacuation of all students and staff as police searched the building.
No bomb or explosive was found, however, police and school officials said.
Seymour Community Schools interim Superintendent Robert Hooker said the threat was in the form of a note.
"It informed us there was a bomb set to go off at 1:30 p.m.," Hooker said.
Assistant Police Chief Craig Hayes said the note, which he believed was handwritten, was found in a bathroom in the school and given to school resource Officer Billy Smith.
Officials made the decision to clear the building as a precaution, Hooker said, and the 700 students and staff walked to a nearby designated area where they remained safe for the duration of the threat.
"This action was taken in line with following our emergency procedures for a fire drill," Hooker said. "We are hoping it was a prank, but we take these seriously."
Students were allowed to return to their classrooms around 1:40 p.m., after police conducted two searches of the school.
Hooker would not reveal any details about the note or if they had a suspect.
He added that the staff would meet today to discuss how the evacuation went and to make suggestions to improve emergency plans.

New Study of Giant Antarctic Ice Core Sheds Light on Thousands of Years of Climate History
Posted By Lidija Grozdanic On August 24, 2012 @ 9:45 am In Environment,environmental destruction,global warming,News | 1 Comment
[1]Antarctica Photo [2] from Shutterstock [3]
Published this week in Nature Magazine [4], a new study by an international group of polar scientists offers the first comprehensive reconstruction of thousands of years of the Earth's climate history. The chemical analysis of a 364m long ice core collected from James Ross Island in the Antarctic Peninsula reveals likely causes of the recent ice-shelves break-up and accelerating glacier mass loss. [5]
Scientists from Britain, Australia and France, led by Dr Robert Mulvaney of British Antarctic Survey (BAS) [7], have extracted an ice core containing layers of snow that fell every year for the last 50,000 years. The layers revealed significant fluctuations in temperature since the last ice age, about 15,000 years ago. While gradual warming began around 600 years ago, the new data have shown that the high rate warming over the past century is unusual (but not unprecedented) in Earth's climate history [8].
According to the study, some 11,000 years ago the Antarctic Peninsula warmed by about 1.3C above today's average, and cooled down in two stages until 600 years ago. With the temperature rising once again, rapidly increasing and reaching its peak in the last 100 years, the ice sheets have been exposed to periods of dramatic expansion and shrinking. The connection between past temperature and ice-shelf stability suggests that increased frequency of marginal ice-shelves collapsing on the northeastern Antarctic Peninsula may be an increasing trend. The scientists claim that, if the rapid warming continues, ice-shelves [9] which have been stable for thousands of years, located further southward along the Antarctic Peninsula, will soon also become unstable.
Although there is a broad scientific consensus on the radical climate change [10] happening since the industrial revolution, the ambiguous findings will allow skeptics to keep attributing the Earth's rapid warming to natural variability. Whatever the prevailing opinion, the alarming rate at which Antarctica's ice is melting is cause for concern, especially for hundreds of millions of people who live near the coast.

Right to Life supporters lament legislative support
Sunday, September 25, 2011
The "Missouri Right to Life" group said Friday was "a sad day for Missouri pro-lifers," because the state House of Representatives joined the Senate in adopting language in a proposed law that was different from the words Missouri Right to Life wanted to have used.
Their proposed amendment said: "Public funds shall not be expended, paid, or granted on behalf of any existing or proposed research project that involves abortion services, human cloning or prohibited research, as defined" in another state law.
The pro-life lobbying group said three of seven Mid-Missouri representatives — Republicans Jay Barnes, Jefferson City, and Caleb Jones, California, and Democrat Chris Kelly, Columbia — twice voted against the pro-life position, as the group defined it.
But four others — Republicans Mike Bernskoetter, Jefferson City; Jeanie Riddle, Mokane; Rodney Schad, Versailles; and Tom Loehner, Koeltztown — voted the "correct" way on both votes.
At issue was the Missouri Science and Innovation Reinvestment Act, or MOSIRA, which creates a fund to offer incentives for science-based businesses to develop or expand in Missouri.

Max and River filmed an interview with Yang Xin, a Beijing entrepreneur
developing one of Beijing's 33 historic cultural districts, Caroline
explored the surrounding alley hutong (hoo-tong, 胡同). Down one quiet
lane, a red door beckoned her and she plunged into what turned out
to be one of Beijing's most beautiful examples of a residential
siheyuan (sih-huh-yoowan, 四合院).
climate should be considered in building design for energy-efficiency
and environmental protection, and there are many helpful practices
that are climate-responsive in traditional folk houses.
Courtyard building style, also known as "Siheyuan",
has a long history in Chinese architecture. 'Si(sih, 四)' means 'Four',
which here refers to the four sides: east, west, north and south.
'He(huh, 合)' refers to the surrounding, meaning the four sides connect
into a square. There is normally only one gate, so when the gate
is closed the courtyard disconnects with the outside world, leaving
the family with utter tranquility and joyous peace.
of the existing courtyards are relics of the Ming (1368 - 1644)
and Qing (1644 - 1911) Dynasties. The ancient furniture, fish pond,
wooden doors and windows, and cane chairs remind you of their flourishing
past. Those flashed bricks, Chinese eaves and cornices, fine brick
designs, and wood carvings, reveal a strong classical tone of old
Beijing. Many would tell you that you cannot fully understand Beijing
until you have lived in the courtyards. Siheyuan offer good ventilation,
natural light, space, comfort and quiet privacy. It is also good
for security as well as protection against dust and storms.
- Natural Daylighting
The main room is situated on the north side facing south into the
courtyard, allowing maximum daylight into the room. The roof eaves
above are purposefully high, the window sills below short and the
depth of every room limited so that daylight reaches right to the
back of the spaces.
Water Catchment and Infiltration
Rainwater is directed through the gutter system into storage cisterns
while courtyard pavers are made of a semi-pervious stone tiles to
enable water to naturally infiltrate into the ground.
Passive Temperature Control
Mortar is applied on the ceiling followed by a thick layer of clay/soil
above and then covered with roof tiles. Together this provides insulation
to keep rooms warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

their main outdoor shading device.

This word is a total fucking clown. Look at all those silent consonants, just begging to confuse foreigners vainly attempting to understand this ridiculous language. It is pronounced "AP-uh-them" and is the preferred British English spelling to the more common apothegm, which isn't at all common, except in GRE study guides. In fact, it is possible this word was invented by ETS just to make sure you don't get into Harvard.
An apophthegm is a short, witty saying. It comes from the Greek apophthengesthai, "to speak one's opinion frankly" which is from the Greek phthengesthai which means "to speak", which in turn is from the caveman phthgmsthgmithththph, which means "mountain bear ate heap many cavechildren today, Tonk must shag for survival of cavefamily", the antecedent, of course, being the coelecanth pptplptltl, which has no direct English translation, although scholars believe it can be translated as "the actual sinking feeling you get when it dawns on you that you have tiny parasites living on your adipose lobe-fin right before your big fish date with the captain of the fishfootball team, but then you're eaten by a shark so it doesn't matter anyway". Contrary to what you hear on the 24-hour news cycle, coelecanths have a very complex language.

LEADING PROPERTY PORTAL, iPROPERTY.COM SINGAPORE, FORECAST FEWER AGENTS FOLLOWING CEA REGULATION
Citing that while agents may reduce in number, overall quality of agents will be significantly improved
Singapore, June 6th 2012
– In an effort to promote the integrity and competence of estate agents and salespersons, Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) announced some time ago a regulation which states that real estate agents are required to pass the Real Estate Salesperson Examination (RES). Recently the CEA introduced a new ruling that part-time agents need to obtain their respective employer's consent before being allowed to become agents.
The CEA had also announced the extension of the deadline for provisional registered salespersons to pass the RES examination by the end of the month. It also highlighted that those who are unable to do so will have the registration lapsed after 30 June 2012.
Aside from that, all registered salespersons also have to undertake mandatory continuing professional development (CPD) of six hours to ensure that they upgrade themselves and keep abreast of the latest changes in policies and procedures related to real estate transactions. The number of CPD hours will be increased over time to raise the professional standards of the industry.
According to industry leaders, since the announcement of this new regulation, there has been a significant drop in the number of agents.
In a statement released today, iProperty.com Singapore, the country's No.1 property website which operates under the iProperty Group stated, while the company has confirmed that the new regulation has reduced the number of agents and views the move as a positive approach in providing fewer but better quality agents that will better address the needs of local and foreign consumers who are keen on investing in property in Singapore.
Commenting on the regulation, Shaun Di Gregorio, Chief Executive Officer of the iProperty Group said, "The iProperty Group views the CEA regulations in a positive manner and believes that the intention at the end of the day is to protect the interest of not just the real estate agents but also consumers. As a company that abides by all regulations, with an extensive pool of agents who are duly certified with the CEA, we urge all professional property agents to view the moves in a positive way and work towards improving the standard of the real estate industry in Singapore."
He added like any new regulation imposed, an educational awareness campaign is a must to help these real estate agents understand why such measures were taken and how the CEA at the end of the day only has the best interest of these agents and consumers in mind.
Di Gregorio also stated that the CEA has also revealed that there was an above 10 percent drop in the number of registered real estate agents and salespersons in the country.
"While the regulation seeks to ensure that real estate agents and salespersons will be more responsible and committed towards increasing the level of professionalism of agents, we do estimate that the move will reduce the number of agents in Singapore but the quality of these agents will be significantly higher. At the same time, consumers also stand to benefit from the move as their interest will be better served and protected," said Di Gregorio.
He added that the move was also in line with the company's mission to continue to deliver first class customer service and highly innovative products that will create a more engaging experience for property buyers and investors, helping them make a more informed decision.
He also cited that with a booming industry, Singapore is a prime location not just for local but also foreign investors who want a piece of the pie. The move by CEA also supports the Singapore government's efforts in promoting the property industry in Singapore.
"Consumers will now have the assurance that the real estate agents in Singapore will work towards delivering the best service to them. This is also in line with our company's vision in only providing the best service to our consumers," added Di Gregorio.
He concluded by saying the iProperty.com Singapore will do its best in promoting CEA's efforts and provide any assistance and advice that agents might require.

Bleeding at 15 weeks?
About a week ago I bleed heavily and rushed to my Dr.'s office. I was certain I was having a miscarraige. I was a mess. My Dr. did an ultra sound and it showed that my baby was still alive and heart rate was great. Had another ultra sound next day and the Senographer pointed out that it looked like my plancenta was laying a bit low. My Dr. was not convenced 100% that this was the issue. She stated that we may never know and that I can still have a healthy baby (she has had prev. patients with same ordeal). I am still scared because I am still having some bleeding (nothing like the day I went in) and just wondering if anyone has been through this too?

It's really scary. I had the same thing happen at ten weeks. I had just but my girls to bed and felt a pop and started bleeding really badly. After three hours in the emergency room. I had a sonogram and it showed the baby was fine and healthy. The doctor said it was probably a ruptured blood vessel. The bleeding went on for several weeks but not as a bad as the original. I'm now at 15 1/2 weeks and have not had any problems since. Take it easy for a while and think positive.posted 10/23/2007 by mira_gold
It sounds like you ahve placenta previa. My sister-n-law had it as well. It is completely normal to bleed while having this because the placenta is low lying and maybe partially covering the cervix. Your baby is completely safe. They will probably tell you to stay off your feet as much as possible to help prevent placental detachment. If you only have partial placenta previa you can still deliver vaginally, however, if it progresses to a complete placenta previa then an absolute c-section will follow when it time to have the baby. Hope this helps. I probably gave way to much info! I have a problem with that. Hope everything is great and don't stress. If you keep bleeding I would definitely have another ultrasound done to see what is going on.posted 12/03/2007 by racheal_5581
I too had the same problem. It scared me because the blood was bright red and I thought that I was having a miscarriage. I went to the emergency room but, they found nothing wrong so today I went to my doctors office and everything was great and they still don't know what happened but they suggested that my placenta may be a bit low but, they too assured me that it was ok.posted 10/05/2007 by 0126Lauren
It seems as though a lot of women tend to bleed and doctors don't know why. It can really be stressful especially if you try to research the problem. You end up reading about the worst-case-scenarios. I am now 15 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. At 5 weeks I started spotting and then bleeding heavily for days. The spotting lasted for 6 weeks. I was also convinced that I was starting to have a miscarriage. A blood test and 3 ultra sounds showed that everything was progressing smoothly. With my first child (who is healthy as can be at 10 months)I spotted for a week or two and it turned out to be nothing. Try to keep positive as hard as it may be at times. The best thing to do is take care of yourself and always speak up when you think something is not right. It's best to check things out even if it's just for your peace of mind. Best of luck with a happy and healthy pregnancy.posted 01/23/2008 by psudice
This sounds like my situation also. I had severe bleeding at 11 weeks (thought I was having a miscarriage), but u/s showed heart rate was fine. A couple weeks later I was having brown thick spotting, u/s showed blood in the uterus, but the heart rate was good and the baby's growth was according to schedule. The docs say that they're not sure what is/was causing the bleeding but hopefully I would pass all that extra dead blood (I continued to do so for about another week and a half). I am 15 weeks now, waiting to see how everything looks at 18 weeks. Hopefully everything will be going more smoothly from now on. I wish more doctors and baby books would discuss this issue because it is really scary.posted 06/11/2008 by callmechia
I had very similar situation happen to me. I'm 15 weeks and this weekend started some spotting--not heavy bleeding though. Went to the doctor today and she told me I have a low-lying placenta and at this point it is normal. Blood is caused by the uterus rubbing against the cervix which causes irritation and cells to fall off and exit the body through the cervix. She said she is going to keep an eye on it as in most cases the placenta will migrate to where it's supposed to be by the third trimester. Biggest thing is to not do anything strenuous--even making sure to remain regular--as constipation and pressure from "pushing" can cause irritation and more spotting. Obviously, every case is different but I'm much more relaxed now as my doctor is a specialist in high risk pregnancies and is assist professor at cornell for same. Good luck with your pregnancy!posted 08/11/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I had the same problem. Dr said that it is really easy to have a blood vessel on the cervix burst causing you to bleed and that may have been a possibility.posted 10/22/2007 by babyJ_april2008
I am also having the same problem. I am now 15 weeks and have been bleeding on and off for about 3 weeks. The Dr said that I have a low laying placenta.The baby still has a great heart beat. She said it should get better the farther I get.posted 06/21/2008 by jbarnett_79
I had the same problem with my first child. In my case it was a total placenta previa. Because my placenta was so low my cervix would open periodically (it was a wonder that I had any blood left in me). I had numerious trip to the emergency room and was finally put on bed rest for 4 months. My husband was a wreck! At least with the bed rest I got out of housework! I ended up having a perfect little girl though.posted 06/23/2008 by disharpe
This is for who had the C.V.S. testing done. All was well until I woke up day three with heavy bleeding. Called Dr. and went to ER to get ultra sound and baby was great. Went to dr the next day becuase of cramping and still bleeding moderatly. All is okay but I might have a bit of placenta previa, but was told that this may change and is normal this early on. I am still working on thinking positive and taking in all of the good news. :-)posted 09/08/2008 by a BabyCenter Member

Norman, OK -- A judge did not rule Wednesday on a motion to remove the death penalty in the case of Kevin Ray Underwood.
The Purcell man is charged in the 2006 murder of 10-year-old Jamie Rose Bolin in a cannibalistic plot.
Defense Attorneys complained about the leak of a sealed judge's decision in the case, and asked that the death penalty be removed as an option. Another hearing is set for Friday.
Underwood faces first-degree murder charges.
The trial is set to start next week.

When Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock tied the knot in Tennessee on Sunday, Brandon's kids were the only guests. The couple decided a while back they wanted a very small, intimate ceremony and that's exactly what they had.
Kelly's mother, Jeanne Taylor, said she wasn't upset with the decision, "She was so afraid we might be upset. But we were fine with it … I had known that she was under a lot of stress. And we just wanted her to be happy and not stressed out … I think the biggest thing for us to do was to allow her to do what she wanted to do". Jeanne shared a sweet collage of pics on her Instagram.
The couple had a videographer on hand for their big day so I'm sure her mom and famous (step)mother- in- law, Reba, will have a front row seat for the viewing!

As a new player who has joined this game , i finally reached Folrart arena !!
after several wins and losses i have noticed that the game is completely different, the elaborate tactics i got accustomed too seeing have disappeared , most players i have faced have either :
several copies of the same rare card, several overpowered units or another type of trick that render any strategy useless . All this making u rely only on sheer unit strength !!!
In most card games there are limitations to rare cards , there are none here !!!
My opinion is that 4star cards and above should at least require 2sp to revive and not just one , i m a lawtia player and i know what it means to face a centaur or a eskatia especially if the lycantrops are on the board. (just a thought)
I have also noticed that surviving the normal arena without investing money in the game was very much possible (answering all those whiners) and no started deck was weaker then the other. (most lawtia players tend to complain about that lol). BUT I M WONDERING NOW in folrart arena if it is at all possible to continue this way ??
I believe there should be faster ways to make gran for all , this wway even "free" players are not too disadvantaged.
What do u think people , more gran for every body ???

WE'RE EXPANDING and HIRING!
We're looking for someone to join our team at our print shop in Lawrenceville! Please note that this position is not for a designer or printer, nor will it be a stepping stone to that position in the immediate future. Pittsburgh is full of talented design folks who are eager to put on an apron, but that's just not what we need at the moment.
POSITION: Full Time Packaging/Assembly Person | M-F, 9-5:30 | Starting at $10/hour | Health benefits after 3 months
START DATE: August 1st, 2015 (flexible)
JOB DESCRIPTION: All day long, we print. That means nothing if those cards aren't packaged and shipped to all of our amazing shops. The job will consist of you scoring, folding, counting, inserting envelopes into cards, inserting cards & envelopes into sleeves, counting, preparing the orders for shipping, and most definitely, more counting. If you can count on anything with this job, it's counting. This happens every day, all day, and it needs to be done both quickly and correctly.
Over time you will learn our inventory, stationery sizes, and all other things related to packaging and assembly. Once you have a handle on the inventory, you will be in charge of pulling, packaging, and shipping our weekly Etsy orders.
Our shop gets very busy and the day to day needs and priorities often change with very short notice. We need someone that is focused, but at the same time can easily switch gears and move on to what needs done at that moment. I'm looking for someone who is going to feel confident about completing the tasks at hand, but at the same time not afraid to ask questions or call themselves out if they are unsure about something or have made mistakes.
I need someone who is self motivated, prides themselves of their attention to detail, and someone who understands that we have definite goals which need to be met each day in a timely manner. That being said, all the standard "great employee" traits still apply. We need you to show up on time, take the job seriously, and it will obviously help if you enjoy keeping busy and working with your hands. This job is VERY repetitive. If you are easily bored by doing the same thing over and over, this may not be the job for you. We're looking for someone with high energy who enjoys working with others as well as on their own.
If you think you fit the bill then please send an email to email@example.com. If you don't think it's for you, then maybe you know someone that would be perfect. That's just as good and we appreciate you spreading the word. Thanks for your interest.
Lisa (Chief Rocka of Sapling Press)

"When we were tall enough to walk, mother would give us a sausage can," recalls 85-year-old Norman Sakata. "We would come home from school and fill the can with beans before dinner. After dinner, we'd go out with a kerosene lamp and pick more coffee. Every bean was money."
Back then, in the 1930s and 40s, school break was in coffee season, not summer—so families could work the farms. "Those were the good boys, the mauka (mountain) boys who went home to pick coffee," laughs Kathleen Hemphill of Mountain Thunder Coffee. "I always fell for the bad ones, makai (ocean) boys. All they did was surf!"
"It gave us good training," Sakata says. "We were not afraid of hard work. That togetherness…you don't find it today. It builds and molds good character. We didn't need a foreman; working as a family was our secret of surviving."
Trent Bateman, who sits on the board of directors of the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival, is deeply appreciative of the Sakata family and others like them. "We couldn't have Kona coffee if the Japanese migrant workers hadn't come here and established themselves. It's a very special story, a pioneering story. They took a foothold and took the job seriously."
Times have changed, but the people behind Kona coffee remain largely the same in their dedication to their product, which is so good in the grand scheme of things that, in 2010, for the first time in 100 years, Kona coffee (Bateman's own Mountain Thunder Coffee) took first place in an international cupping competition (the ultimate taste-test for growers and roasters, featuring a panel of judges with super taste buds). "What's special about Kona coffee is its heritage," continues Bateman. We are the torch-holders, the fire-keepers, of the authenticity and the legacy and the promotion of Kona coffee."
Never is the reverence of the crop more evident than during the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival, held annually on the Big Island of Hawaii. The festival, once a weekend event primarily for locals, has evolved steadily into what is now a full-blown, ten-day extravaganza attracting international attention, thanks in part to the different, even revolutionary , ideas of Sakata. "They appointed me chairman and I had one condition: nobody could tell me what to do." Eyebrows were raised, but Sakata met with little trouble in making the changes he felt necessary, such as choosing an elder from the coffee community to be grand marshal at the parade. Sakata remembers telling the governor in 1977 that he'd been unseated as grand marshal and replaced by a farmer. "He told me: 'If I were selected above that man I would be embarrassed to be in the parade.'" From that year on, the grand marshal was selected based on experience, not political status. "Not only the farmers, but the laborers…a Filipino man who picked coffee all his life, parade grand marshal!"
"Every year we changed [to] different ethnic groups who worked in coffee. Portuguese, Hawaiian, Chinese…and also the landowners who gave the land to farmers, and the first Kona-born dentist, and the first Kona-born medical doctor. They all came from coffee."
The festival, attended by enthusiastic kama'aina and visitors alike, includes a world-class Kona coffee cupping competition, a huge parade, and days full of activities, crafts, local foods, and more. What does mocha have to do with coffee? The Japanese brought this tradition with them, along with bon dance and countless other practices. What does Hawaiian lauhala-weaving have to do with it? That's how Hawaiian workers made their baskets. "We have so much variety," says Sakata. "Every mixture of race. We never realized what we were doing was such an attraction. These things, we just did. They come from our ancestors bringing over the traditions of what they did back in their native country. We have multiple nationalities here, and the food, entertainment, clothing, and traditions reflect that."
"When in Rome," smiles Trent Bateman, turning to greet arriving visitors. They're showing up to tour Mountain Thunder Coffee, the largest organic coffee farm in the state. This coffee also the highest-grown in the state, at 3200 feet above sea level, an elevation at which native trees like the 'ohi'a lehua still flourish, and where I caught a thrill spotting a soaring 'io, Hawaiian hawk. To get here, you go way upcountry beyond Kailua-Kona, passing through memorable Holualoa and carefully navigating the serpentine one-lane road that hugs Hualalai. You'll know you've arrived when the smell of roasting coffee tickles your olfactory nerves and you hear the cacophony of a small community of fat, waddling, geese and ducks.
"We're on the edge of the world," Bateman remarks, taking in the vista of the adjoining woods and pasture. The farm's nature trail has an abundance of exotic plants, like Hawaiian raspberry, green tea, passion fruit, poka fruit, poha berry, wild orchids and vanilla, and there's even a lava tube—discovered by Bateman himself when he nearly drove his tractor over its edge.
"I'm a machine guy," he says, recounting his own personal path to java. "There's a lot of machinery involved. I built everything you see here; every screw, every nail. It's a family project. My two boys and my daughter helped me."
Mountain Thunder is recognized throughout the U.S. via appearances on shows on the Food Network, Fine Living Network and the Discovery Channel. It's also the bean used in Hawaii's Meadow Gold's Ice Cream's Kona coffee flavor, and it is brewed at some of the most exclusive resorts on the island.
"We try to separate ourselves from the rest," says Bateman who runs the Kona cupping competition each year. "I organize the whole event, which is sponsored by Gevalia—we supply some of their Kona beans."
"This is not classic coffee," adds John Langenstein, coffee guru and general manager of Mountain Thunder, which is the official Kona coffee mill and roaster of the cupping competition. "This coffee has got an acidity and characters you don't normally find." The combination of the elevation and the cloud cover throughout the days "develops more acidity, more aromas." He goes on to describe a little of what a cupper will detect in the complicated cupping process. Cuppers are professional tasters, with actual extra dots on their tongues. They can detect flavors others cannot, everything from nuttiness to earthiness, tropical fruits and spices. "Acid is a brightness, a little sparkle in the cup, almost a metallic taste. It's like a good wine. This is really a delightful coffee."
When the beans are meticulously and lovingly picked, wet- and dry-milled, then roasted just so, the results are intensely pleasing. "I can taste the chlorophyll and it gives a wonderful character to the cup. We really want that caramelization to jump out."
Picked red coffee berries go to the wet mill first, where the bean is sprung from its casing and cleaned of its sugar fruit. Next, the beans are dried and tumbled for about 36 hours.
The beans then go to another mill for further cleaning and polishing, followed by a sizing screen, which allows only the plumpest through to earn the grade Extra Fancy, the highest of the five grades of pure Kona coffee. "Extra Fancy is big and lush…clean, smooth, and mild."
Most companies stop there, but not Mountain Thunder. Bateman and Langenstein employ a computerized four-channel color sorter linked to Adobe Photoshop. They input the desired range of color, shade, and hue for their premium green, pre-roasted coffee beans. Anything that doesn't make the cut is rejected as the beans are sorted at a rate of 40 pounds per minute. "Looking at the rejects, you'd never know, but the fiber-optic eye can tell. This is a quality standard that really enhances the cup. It's by far the most expensive piece of equipment we own."
Mountain Thunder roasts about 40 percent of the coffee grown here for sale and distribution. The rest is sold to other companies across the globe, as far away as Japan, even Spain. The cured green beans sit in giant sacks in a climate-controlled warehouse on the premises, awaiting inspection by the government, after which it will get the stamp of state certification. There are five grades of authentic Kona coffee: Extra Fancy, Fancy, Number One, Prime and Select, and five criteria by which the beans are judged: size, weight density, color, number of defects, cupping (or brewed) quality, and moisture.
"Kona coffee is the most scrutinized, heavily graded coffee system. We've got a name to protect, as well as our reputation," says Langenstein. And it's worth it. "If you do it right and do it well, coffee is good for you. You're going to start feeling better, and when you're feeling better, you treat each other better, and before you know it, we've got world peace!"
So, while the path to the best cup of coffee in the world is paved with intricate processing and high-tech machinery, lots of hard work (hot work!), the payoff can be ever so simple. "Take a sip of coffee," says Norman Sakata with a soft smile. "Every bean was touched by human hands. It comes to you with love and care."
