District 200 approves $2.4M tax abatement
By Terry Dean
The District 200 school board on Feb. 28 approved a tax abatement totaling roughly $2.4 million, meaning property owners in River Forest in Oak Park will see a lower tax bill in 2014.
The one-time abatement narrowly passed, with board members Amy McCormack, Dietra Millard and Ralph Lee voting the measure down. The board spent considerable time deliberating the matter during their regular meeting on Thursday. The board opted to abate the full amount of about $2,487,000 instead of the partial abatement option of $1.6 million.
Members Terry Finnegan, John Phelan, Sharon Patchak-Layman and Valerie Fisher voted in favor the full abatement
The vote came at the tail end of the roughly five-hour regular board meeting.
Earlier in the meeting during public comments, Barb Langer, a critic of the school's finances who's running for a school board seat in the April election, reiterated her plea that the school board "repeal and refund" the $1.6 million it levied back in December. She then asked each board member to state publicly if they would but board President told Langer that's not the board's practice of answering questions during public comments.
The board Thursday also approved a resolution that sets the stage for the school to fund the Collaboration for Early Childhood's initiative for integrated supportive care system in the two villages. In a 7-0 vote, the board authorized the administration to begin drafting an intergovernmental agreement with the Collaboration, District 97 and Village of Oak Park. D97 and Village have already committed to funding the Collab's proposed initiative.
Patchak-Layman initially suggested funding the Collab's program from Madison TIF disbursements due the high school and looked to amend the motion on the table. Her amendment, however, died after not receiving a second from another board member.

I asked each BOE member if they would repeal and refund the 2002 REFERENDUM, which increased the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL) tax cap to 2.95% - which is double what D200 spends/needs and is the source of D200's now estimated $140million cash surplus, as well as its power and independence from the community. D200 removed the word "Community" from its organizational charts starting in 2006, after "phasing in" the full PTELL cap in Dec 2005 (see D200's Annual Financial Reports).

Why thank you school board for $55! That sure will help the tax increase you gave me. Still not voting for any board members running for re-election.

$2.4 million down, $97.6 million to go. How do citizens get a refund of the $100 mil in the bank on the ballot?

Sorry, my error. I meant to say $130 million surplus.

On reviewing this and seeing another article in WJ, might the school board be planning a redo of the HS to accommodate more students in the future. Except student numbers are dropping. I think D200 board has a plan for the $1.3 mil surplus. Is this abatement meant to soften us before the one - two punch?

Sharon Patchak-Layman continues to exhibit common sense dealing with fiscal matters for the High School. John Phelan also seems to understand what this surplus is doing to tax payers in the Community. Hopefully, Barb Langer is successful this Spring and the Board can start functioning in a rational manner. This abatement is a start, a small start, but still welcome.

That's great. Thanks to Barb Langer for her continued efforts on this levy. Thanks to the board who voted for this proposal and finally waking up.

The threat of the ballot box helped. Finnegan is up for reelection and several candidates are questioning D200's fiscal agenda. The taxpayer's profile is now higher among stakeholders; Barb Langer's tactics may be unusual, but she drove the taxpayer uprising. Thanks, too, to John Phelan for coupling the abatement with a move for wider community input on just what the reserve ought to be. The community needs is an ad hoc watchdog group to strengthen the taxpayer voice in all government spending.

|A selection of the books Terry (tlg) loves. Terry is another cross genre omnivore, with a particular passion for entertaining characters, exotic locales, and more than a dab of romance.
Maestra is the first in a trilogy featuring 24-year-old Judith Rashleigh, a character so bold and fearless you won't know whether to slap or admire her. She was educated at Oxford as an art historian after being brought up in a lower class home with an abusive mother. Her ambitions and resourcefulness have taken her to some pretty risky places, while she simultaneously tries to make it in London's Art World and make enough money to live on. When her plans unravel, she finds herself inside the world of the über-wealthy as the companion to a young businessman and begins to use her unique skills to maintain her lifestyle there. Maestra takes many unexpected turns and twists, and took me by surprise time and again. It is like nothing I have read before … and I look with anticipation to the sequel.
I am not the only Maestra fan. Prior to publication, it was optioned for a movie and sold in 43 countries.
Family angst. Financial woes. Interconnected lives. The New York Literary scene. Coming of Age. Surprises, turns, and twists. This is The Nest, an engaging debut about one family told from multiple points of view, centered on the four siblings in the Plumb family. The oldest is Leo, who is the catalyst for the current financial woes of his family. Leo's appetite for excess, driven by an unhappy marriage, results in tragedy for an unsuspecting woman. When the inheritance their father left (nicknamed "The Nest") is used to bail Leo out of the resultant mess, his siblings struggle with the prospect of losing the funds they have planned on inheriting -- and in some cases, already spent -- for years.
The question of whether Leo will reimburse his siblings leads the narrative, but it is the journey and ultimate growth of each family member that makes this an endearing story to treasure. The buzz is already in the air and this is a book and author to watch.
The Madwoman Upstairs is both a reference to the insane first wife of Edward Rochester in Jane Eyre, and to Samantha Whipple, who is the last remaining descendant of the Brontë sisters. It is not a coincidence that Samantha finds herself living in the Tower of Extinction (originally built to house quarantine victims of the plague in 1361) at Oxford University. She is studying English literature with a (also not coincidentally) good-looking, older English professor who is strictly off limits to her officially, intellectually, and due to their age discrepancy. Like her foresisters before her, she is young, inexperienced, and totally out of her league here. She was home schooled by her father and is attending Old College at his request, though he died seven years prior (not coincidentally) in a fire which claimed all of his literary pursuits. This exciting literary debut is in part a study of literature, specifically the Brontë sisters' works, and in part the mystery of their legacy. Samantha cannot escape her past history with their work, the world's interest in her inheritance of previously undiscovered family treasures, and the current puzzle of artifacts mysteriously appearing in her room … which may or may not answer some of her questions. For mystery and Brontë fans alike, this is a delightful romp and an (very clever) author to watch.
A March Fantastic Firsts Pick!
I didn't know what to expect when I started Lutz's first standalone thriller. Everyone who knows my reading tastes knows that I am a big fan of Lisa's, but this is new territory. Or is it? The Passenger combines Lutz's signature humor and talent for pacing and dialog with a page turning adventure of a young woman we first get to know as Tanya Dubois. Very soon, we find out that she has at least one other identity, as she travels from her current life in Waterloo, Wisconsin, the recent widow of a bar owner (she says she didn't do it!) to Austin, Texas, where she befriends a woman named Blue. They recognize in each other kindred spirits of women on the run … with many secrets to keep. The real mystery is what Nora Glass (Tanya Dubois' real name) is running from, and why she has stayed away from her home town of Bilman, Washington, for the past 10 years. And that is just the beginning of this fast-paced adventure that I dare you to put down. Lutz has done it again.
Meet Lisa Lutz along with Alison Gaylin in San Diego on March 10th!
While the story line is about a missing hunter in the Colorado mountains and the search effort to find her, it is more poignantly about two women whose pasts are complicated and parallel in many ways. Amy Raye Latour has come to the mountains with two friends to hunt elk. She sets off early one morning, with a bow and arrow and a few other supplies, while her fellow hunters are sleeping, and makes her way to a specific place with a specific plan for making her last kill of the season. We know that she is running both to and from her past and it is this backstory that joins the narrative about her experience hunting and ultimately getting lost in the mountains.
Pru Hathaway is a single mom whose 17-year-old son lives with her in Rio Mesa, Colorado. Her job working for the Bureau of Land Management as an archaeological law enforcement ranger also qualifies her to do search and rescue missions. And, like Amy Raye, she has been brought up in the outdoors and is comfortable and competent in nature and survival. Her backstory of love, loss, and hope is also intertwined with the current mission to find Amy.
The wilds of Colorado are as much a character as a backdrop to this adrenaline-rich race against time, not just to find Amy Raye, but for both women to find themselves.
Isabelle (Belle) McElroy is one smart lady. She is smart enough to be one of the few managing directors at her Wall Street firm. She seems to have it all, including three beautiful children and a handsome husband who is spending more time managing the home front than working, because she is the major bread winner in her household. But in her world, women are at an extreme disadvantage. Their talents and brains are often overlooked as their appearance receives overt attention in this testosterone-fueled business. Belle tends to overlook the oversights and sexual innuendoes encountered in her rise to the top of her profession and earning capacity, but some of the firm's women are not as passive and are insisting that she join their ranks of resistance in their Glass Ceiling Club. Their activities are starting to be noticed just as Belle's talents bring her to the forefront of some very big deals and very big money. Enter Belle's ex-fiancé, a man who trounced on her heart many years ago. He is now working for one of her biggest clients. And then the financial crisis of 2008 hits. I simply could not put this down.
This adrenaline-rush of a novel takes place on an island where a single cycle of sun occurs every 28 years. This means that there are 14 years of daylight and 14 years of Night. When the sun sets, everyone on the island packs up their house in a very specific way, following years of traditions, and sets sail for the Desert Lands where other customs rule. Marin, Kana, and Line have only known life on the island and find many of their questions about leaving and their new home unanswered by the adults around them. When the three teens find themselves left on the island as Night falls, the tide retreats, and unknown terrors abound. Their only salvation is to find a way off the island. Their perils are real -- and terrifying -- as they try to escape before it is too late. In the meantime, they find answers to questions they didn't know to ask.
Debut author Hester Young has taken Southern gothic to a whole new level with her complex heroine, whose heartache is genuine and palpable. Charlotte (Charlie) Cates is a broken-hearted divorcee who has suffered unimaginable loss in her life; her mother left when she was a baby, her father died in a car accident, and her 4-year-old son died of a brain aneurysm. Her saving grace has been her friendship with fellow mother, Rae, and her love for her grandmother, with whom she has lived since she was 14 years old. It turns out that Charlie and her grandmother have more in common that she knew. They both have visions which enable them to see the future. When one such vision coincides with a job offer to research a cold case of a missing child, Charlie travels to Chicory, Louisiana to reside in an old southern mansion called Evangeline. Once there, she meets the Deveau family, complete with evil sisters, a brother with secrets, thier dying mother, and a fellow visitor who is working to restore the grounds of their estate to their former beauty. As Charlie learns more about the inhabitants of this house, she finds herself immersed in the history and mystery of this family. In the end, she will find the answers she seeks, both about the Deveau family … and about herself.
Who doesn't enjoy a sneak peek into the lives of others? A goldfish named Ian certainly falls into the category of interested onlooker, even as he plunges 27 stories from his fishbowl on the balcony of "Villain Connor Radley's" apartment. Ian's astute observations of his own situation as well as those he passes on his way will leave a smile on your face. As he will tell you, this story actually starts 30 minutes before his plunge and involves multiple glimpses into the lives of the inhabitants of Seville on Roxy, an apartment building in a nameless city that feels a lot like New York City. Ian's trip is breathtaking, as are the big reveals in the lives of Connor, his girlfriend Katie, building superintendent Jemenez, the very pregnant Petunia Delilah, and a handful of others. Filled with insight and humor, (and a creative page layout!) this is a debut novel from an author to watch.
From its atmospheric setting in the Georgia Appalachian Highlands, to a multi-generational dynasty of dysfunctional men who have made their living off Bull Mountain (in mostly illegal ways), to a current-day national investigation into the family business … this debut will engross you. Clayton Burroughs is the McFalls County Sheriff and brother to Hal, the head of the "family business." Hal is a violent and unpredictable man who rules Bull Mountain with a tight rein. When Agent Simon Holly visits Clayton with a proposal to solve some of the problems he faces with the criminal elements of his community, a series of events is triggered with devastating consequences. As the vast network of co-mingled activities involving guns, drugs, and violence is revealed, so are multiple generations of Burroughs which form the core of this mountain community. This is the story of family and the far reaching consequences of generations of dysfunctional relationships. Prepare to be skillfully drawn into the dark side of Bull Mountain as we welcome debut author Panowich, who will surely become a household name in no time
With Lutz's trademark humor, quippy dialogue, and quirky characters, she introduces readers to three college friends who met in Santa Cruz where they all began attending college in 1993. Anna is a take-charge, wild, adventurous soul raised in an affluent family in Boston. Her desire to escape her background, her family, and her emotions at every opportunity, even as a child, continues to define her as an adult. Kate was raised by her grandfather after both of her parents died when she was eight years old. She was raised in Santa Cruz and never wanted to leave, her only ambition to manage her grandfather's restaurant. Life has other plans for her. George is a tall, beautiful basketball player who hails from the midwest and had a less catastrophic upbringing than the other two, but who has a penchant for men who are bad for her.
Told from multiple viewpoints, points in time, and locations, the story leads readers to learn about all three girls from college to graduate school … through failed marriages, career decisions, and life cycles … and about the men that revolve around their worlds. Fans of Lutz will fall in love all over again. Readers who are new to her will race to their bookstores to begin reading about the Spellmans.
It's simple. It's groundbreaking. It's an entertaining peek into Hollywood and the makings of a successful talent. It is also a very serious way to begin thinking about how you can change your life; your work life, your social life, and maybe even your personal outlook. Brian Grazer has subtitled his first book The Secret to a Bigger Life … and this just may be it.
Brian is a very successful film and TV producer who teamed up with Ron Howard at the beginning of his career to make a "splash" in movie theaters and in our homes, but that is not what makes this book compelling (though it does add to the entertainment value). What makes this book life-changing is that it teaches us to use curiosity in a way that can actually improve our lives, inspire innovation and creativity, and give us a reason dig deeper to find the bigger truths in work and in life. The trait that has led Grazer to success, understanding, and happiness has been his curiosity and his persistence to find answers to his questions.
Grazer also talks about how important it is to understand what it means to walk in someone else's shoes and how we must understand our competitors' perspective in order to anticipate their next move and improve on it. He calls this "disrupting your own point of view" by anticipating what customers will want by who they are and how they behave. He gives us plenty of examples of ways he has used these techniques, and how others in industry and life have used them too.
Grazer wrote A Curious Mind to share his life perspective and to lead us in a direction that may add value to our lives. This may, in fact, be one of the most important business/life books of our time.
A First Date with Death is an entertaining look behind the scenes of a reality dating show, featuring ex-cop Georgia Thornton as a woman looking for love. Talked into doing the show by her BFF, show assistant producer Becca, Georgia immediately regrets her decision, and not just because the first date is a disaster with dire consequences. Additionally, her ex-fiancé enters the show, she spots a crew member that may just be someone she sent to prison, and one of her dates commits suicide. She is convinced that there is a homicide (or two) that needs investigating as she struggles her way through the show, where the guys are keeping her guessing. She also has to figure out who is on the show to find love, since half the guys are only there playing for money. It's a fast-paced romp with an enduring female lead we look forward to seeing again in the next installment. A March Fantastic First Pick.
This luscious debut is a breath-taking, beautiful piece of fiction set in war-torn Europe during WWI and its aftermath. I was quickly drawn into the life of Lev Pearlmutter, an assimilated German Jew, at odds with himself and his world at this momentous time in our history. After joining the military in 1916, Lev is posted to the Eastern Front. It is while serving there that he meets and falls for Leah, a beautiful young Jewish woman who lives with her extended family. Lev's exposure to her way of life becomes a life-changing experience for him.
Upon his return to Berlin, Lev must deal with his distant wife, his treasured daughter, and his difficult son while he tries to reconcile his feelings for Leah and his Jewish identity to the life he currently lives. This period piece is so well-drawn that you feel yourself walking the streets with Lev and his family, experiencing their emotions, fear, and fates. Despite all that has been written of this era, your understanding of this time and this place and what it meant to be Jewish in Berlin between the two World Wars will stay with you long after your turn the last page
This is literally the story of life and death. Life following death. Death following life. It centers on seven-year-old Mille Bird who contemplates death … a lot. The death of her dog, Rambo, is only the first entry in her "List of Dead Things." Unfortunately, her father is also on her list, which results in a journey that begins with abandonment, turns into an adventure (of sorts), and introduces her to Karl the Touch Typist and Agatha Pantha, two elderly citizens in her town who have suffered losses of their own.
As Millie tries to uncover the truth about death, she ultimately helps Karl and Agatha find more life in their lives. This promising debut has some life (and death) lessons for all of us. A Fantastic Firsts Pick in February
There are a bunch of very bad guys in and around New York City and the surrounding boroughs. "Our" bad guys met in prison serving time for a range of illegal activities which have prepared them to arm and protect themselves to ensure that they don't return to a life behind bars. James Beck, Demarco Jones, Manny Guzman, and Ciro Baldassare live off the grid and on guard, as a close knit family in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook. Their relatively peaceful existence comes to a grinding halt when Manny's niece calls in for protection after she is threatened and fired from her job in a securities firm. At first it seems like a simple matter getting justice for her, but quickly turns into something quite different when a Russian arms dealer enters the picture. And then things get complicated and messy… and worse. Among Thieves is for fans of Lee Child, Ocean's 11, and books with lots of action, and not a little bloodshed. This is a great kickoff for what we hope will become a series, with smart plotting and characters we would like to know better.
Curated Fiction
The Magician's Lie is a compelling old-fashioned story with a magical twist from debut author Greer Macallister. Told in two timelines set 13 years apart, the story draws readers into the lives of the most famous female illusionist of her day, The Amazing Arden, and Virgil Holt, a young policeman who is fighting for his livelihood after suffering the aftermath of being shot in the back. The story begins with Virgil attending the performance of the illusionist; shortly thereafter, Arden's husband is found dead and Virgil encounters the performer just as he is leaving a neighborhood tavern. They proceed to his police station where through the course of one evening she tells him the story of her life, and he has to make a determination of her guilt or innocence. The Magician's Lie is an intriguing, and engrossing journey beginning in 1892 New York that travels around turn of the century America at a hypnotic pace.

Y - Factor ... Young Adult Novels
Laurie's first entry into the world of young adults brings her trademark psychic sensibilities to a contemporary high school setting featuring a young teen who tries to stay under the radar, but instead finds herself a target for more than just the local school bullies. Madelyn (Maddie) Fynn is the sixteen year-old daughter of an alcoholic mother, whose father was killed on the job, but those are _ not her biggest problems. It is her ability to perceive "death dates" printed on people's foreheads that cause her no end of distress. When she reads the death date of a child in a picture a visiting client shows her, and the child in the picture turns up murdered, her problems begin in earnest. When the body count rises and Maddie herself is a possible suspect, her life becomes even more unbearable.
Laurie's breathless pacing will keep you glued to the pages as Maddie fights for her life and for who she is … in the midst of a sea of relentless odds stacked against her. This is a protagonist that you will root for … and feel for … and fear for … up until the very last page. And then you will miss reading her … and hope that she will return. A Fantastic First pick for January 2015.

Relying on a salesperson to choose the best car for you, instead of doing your own homework, is possibly the worst kind of car-buying rip-off and there's no-one to blame but yourself.
While a good salesperson can help you select from what's available at her dealership, you can't expect her to tell you that a competing product is superior or more suited to you. That's not her job.
It's up to you to honestly assess your needs, read the reviews and test drive a few cars to make your selection. If you've done all that and still end up with a dud, then maybe you can blame a salesperson if it makes you feel better.

I stayed at the Hyland Motel on 4/20/2016. I Walked into the room around 10pm and killed two roaches within 2 minutes. Floor was dirty, walls were just plain filthy. There was water on the bathroom floor. The Window A/c unit didn't have knobs on it and was set to "FAN" Mode. There was a couch/chair in the corner with more stains on it than any other cushion chair I have ever seen in my life. I Put the bed Cover on the cadenza and started scouring for bed bugs. Didn't see one , but decided to sleep on the sheet, which I found one long hair on. I keep my clothes on and put T-shirts over the pillows. I kept my phone on me so I could use the flashlight to check for bedbugs every 30 minutes or so. Finally fell asleep for about an hour. Woke up and turned on the flashlight, "BINGO" bedbugs scattered ..I grabbed my stuff and slept the rest of the night in my car (NO LIE). And if you don't believe me, they have security cameras on the cars. I Went back in the room in the morning to shower (Another Horror story) and get dressed. I Informed the clerk about my stay and got the hell out of there! Don't even want my money back (Seriously)! Just can't believe there are still motel in this condition. Guess it's what I get for bargain hunting a 1 night stay! Expedia, Please remove this hotel from the hotel selection ASAP!

As soon as we get there people fighting outside. Prostitutes Everywhere! We stayed downstairs and the people above us were running around till 3-4oclock in the morning! The beds were squeaky and we had no remote for the tv and only 3 towels in the room. I asked for a nonsmoking room for my husband and 2 small children and me and the room stank like cigarette. Worst experience ever and will definitely will NEVER go back or recommend this motel to anyone!

Let's break the pull up down into it's component parts. What does the body do when we pull up?
First we must adduct the arms. For those of you who don't know what that means put your arms out to your sides reaching as far as you can. Then bring them back to your side. The action of bringing the arms back to the side is called adduction, bringing a limb closer to the center of the body. This requires engaging the lats and the lower traps.
Second, we must flex the elbows, pulling the wrists towards the shoulders. This is a bicep exercise.
So we must strengthen the lats, traps, and biceps to improve our pull ups. We're going to break the movements down into exercises hanging from the bar, and exercises not hanging from the bar.
On the Bar
Lat engagement exercise. Basically hang from a bar with straight arms. Try to pull your arms to your side while hanging from the bar, keeping your arms straight, pushing your shoulders down . You'll move up slightly, contract and bring yourself back down.
Pull up negatives. Jump up bringing your chin over the bar. Control yourself slowly down. This will move your body through the full range of motion eccentrically, strengthening the muscles required for the pull up. We don't recommend more than 10-20 reps of slow negatives per day.
Weighted negatives. If regular negatives are too easy, but you still aren't getting the pull up, add weight to the negatives. This will add stress the weak part of the movement and help you improve your strength. Again, sets of 10-20 are great. If you start to descend too fast then take the weight off.
Off the Bar
Bent over barbell rows. Hinge forward, pull the barbell to your chest between your belly button and your sternum. Add a pause at the top to engage the lats more effectively.
Dumbbell bicep curls. I know these are blasphemous in the CrossFit community, but to develop elbow flexion strength, there is no better movement.
Here's a basic 3 day per week progression you could do weekly, with a rest day in between. Adding reps, then weight to the exercises as you are able.
Day 1 – 2 sets: Lat activation x 10, Pull ups negatives x 10
Day 2 – 2 sets: Barbell bent row with pause x 10, Dumbbell bicep curls x 10
Day 3 – 2 sets: Lat activation x 10, pull up negatives x 10, bicep curls OR bent rows x 10
Gradually add sets, reps and/or weight to the movements. I wouldn't exceed 3 sets x 15 reps per exercise, or you'll exhaust yourself.

This will be a two part series on improving your pull up. Today, we will focus specifically on pull ups with bands, and why we do not recommend them at CrossFit Wilmington.
Mastering the pull up is a major milestone in many people's CrossFit journey. It's also a movement that is many people don't progress into properly, and end up stagnating on improvement.
Stop using bands to modify pull ups. They are ineffective at helping people build optimal strength through a compete range of motion. While they may help you get your chin over the bar, they are unlikely to help you build the strength required to do an unassisted pull up.
For those struggling to get their first pull up, where do they most often get stuck? Is it at the bottom of the movement, or the top? Have you seen or experienced getting half way up on a strict pull up only to stall out, and maybe kick your legs like you're trying to ride an imaginary bicycle. I'm sure you've at least seen it happen.
At first glance adding bands seems like a logical way to get your chin over the bar on a pull up. You strap in and it propels you from the bottom to the top. Cool right? Not quite.
The assistance provided by a rubber band is actually inverse to the the strength required for a pull up. When you pull a band tight it provides the most assistance at the bottom of the pull up, where most people are already strongest. As we pull, the band gets shorter providing less assistance and requiring more effort. It provides the least amount of assistance at the top, where most people are weakest (remember kicking to get over the top of the bar).
So if a band provides the least amount of assistance where we need it the most, how do they help? In order to use a band to get over the bar, we have to pick one that provides too much assistance at the bottom, just so we can get over the bar at the top. Graduating from bands to regular pull ups is near impossible.
So, what should we use instead of bands?
Our suggestion for the middle of a CrossFit workout is to do ring rows or jumping pull ups. The jumping pull up is "self scaling" meaning we jump just enough to get our chin over the bar, but not more. Is jumping going to help us build strength to do a strict pull up? Maybe, but there are other exercises that will help us build strength more effectively.

CrossFit Games season is upon us. Regionals were last weekend and will run for the next two weeks as well. For most, it's the definition of competing CrossFit as a sport.
While I have personally competed in CrossFit as a sport, and enjoy training for it, CrossFit as a sport differs vastly from CrossFit for fitness. Primarily in the volume and duration of work that's required to succeed. Training for Regionals and the Games is close to a full time job for most elite competitors, so comparing ourselves to them is difficult to do, and attempting to replicate their daily work is nearly impossible.
There are two major differences when training for CrossFit as a sport versus training for fitness.
1. Overall training volume
The amount of work required to be competitive in CrossFit is tremendous. You truly have to be good at everything. That means most training days require some form of Olympic lifting, strength training, accessory work, and conditioning piece.
As you get closer to competition season volume increases even more, adding in 2-a-day and even 3-a-day training is almost a necessity for staying competitive. At the very least, you'll have one training sessions that is between 2 and 3 hours in order to get all of the work done.
Training volume for the fitness seeker doesn't need to be nearly as high. Most of us can allot one hour per day at the gym, maybe 90 minutes, after that it's a bit more than our schedules can handle. We also have many other stressors in our life. It may be lack of sleep, not eating enough, a stressful workplace, the list goes on. Adding in excessive training volume on top of all our lives throw at can cause more harm than good by increasing stress hormones and impairing our ability to recover.
Training for fitness should consist of some strength training, possible corrective accessory work, and a conditioning session with varying intensity. This can be easily accomplished in an hour or less each day.
2. Complex lifting and gymnastic movements
The Sport of CrossFit requires practice and proficiency in Olympic weightlifting and gymnastics. Top level events routinely require cycling barbell exercises like the snatch for 20-30 reps, in addition to gymnastics exercises like muscle ups, handstand push ups and handstand walks.
In order to succeed in the sport, one must spend a significant amount of time practicing and improving these skills. Practicing things like snatches, handstands, and muscle ups requires a lot of shoulder work and can put strain on the joint itself. This training must be practiced intentionally and specifically in order to avoid injury and burn out.
The fitness seeker will still find benefits from practicing and training Olympic lifting and gymnastics, but probably not with the intensity of a competitor. The Olympic lifts are great for developing strength, power, coordination, and balance, and should be practiced. Power variations of the lift and fewer reps may be required for a newer lifter to avoid injury and overuse. Gymnastics can be trained the same way. While a handstand walk looks really cool at the CrossFit games and at the gym, it's not really a functional movement. Fitness seekers would be better off doing shoulder stability exercises like planks and possibly handstands to support their goals.
If your goal is to be competitive in CrossFit, by all means do it! We just want you to have an understanding of what is required to be competitive in the Sport of Fitness that requires a greater level of training commitment and volume.
At CrossFit Wilmington, we are able to train individuals with any fitness goal. We have many clients training for fitness as a Sport, and many who want to improve their day to day lives with functional fitness training. Regardless of your goals, we have programs to meet your needs.
If you're interested in training for fitness as a sport, or just improving your day to day life, contact us for a FREE No Sweat Introduction and goal setting session.
There seems to be a misconception that CrossFit causes back injuries. That CrossFit is the cause of a myriad of injuries, and that you cannot come into our gym if you have even a little bit of pain in your joints.
Working in the same building as a chiropractor, we see our fair share of back injuries. I can assure you that most people seeing the chiropractor injured themselves doing something completely unrelated to CrossFit, but I digress.
So the question is, can you do CrossFit if you have some sort of back pain or injury. The answer is yes, but it may not look like a group class. **If you have been told not to do exercise by your doctor, please clear it with him first before you start any exercise program**
Strengthening your back is one of the best ways to alleviate back pain and prevent future pain and injury.
Many of the movements that we do in CrossFit are exceptionally good at developing strength through the back. Take for example the deadlift. While we use the old adage, "lift with your legs not with your back," the deadlift most certainly trains the back. The force required to maintain a rigid spine throughout the lift and extend the hips to lock out trains and develops many back muscles such as the erector spinae.
We can also modify movements to target the back even more. Movements like the RDL and the Good Morning, when executed with adequate time under tension, will strengthen the back. Basically any movement where we are forced to resist weight from pulling us forward is going to help create a strong back.
However, all of these movements must be done intentionally with a focus on proper technique and bracing of the spine. If we add weight, speed, or intensity without addressing proper technique we can set ourselves up for injury.
If you are working through a current back injury, we can take load off of the spine by using dumbbells instead of barbells for squatting movements, minimizing the compressive force on the spine. The training goal should be to work through as much pain free as we can, strengthening the muscles of the back while minimizing pain.
Davis's Law states that a body's soft tissues adapt to the stresses that are put upon it. If we consistently refrain from training the back, we are setting ourselves up for future failure. We need to stress and strain the muscles of the back in order to force change and strengthen our body's ability to stave off future injury.
Ultimately, CrossFit can be directed to work around back troubles and work to prevent future back injury. We must be mindful of weight and intensity, especially when first starting. But as you are able to maintain proper form and positioning, CrossFit can create a strong back free from injury.

Fitness can be fun. I know, sounds blasphemous to some, but really, fitness can and should be a lot of fun.
If what you are doing isn't fun, the likelihood of continuing with it decreases rapidly. When is the last time you went out on a weekend and stuck with something that wasn't fun?
Think about that party you went to with the boring couple. We all know at least one. You probably didn't stick around long after dinner because you weren't having any fun. You might even have looked for an excuse to leave early!
Fitness is the same way. We'll stick with the monotony of boring workouts for a time. Some of us longer than others. But if we're not having fun with it then we are very unlikely to stick with any regimen long term.
So at CrossFit Wilmington, we strive to make fitness fun. We want to keep you excited about what you're doing and keep you motivated to work hard and experience the encouragement and camaraderie of others working to improve their fitness too.
With that said, having fun is not mutually exclusive to improving and reaching goals. They can be done simultaneously. I think the most fun I've ever had is when I had a group of people around me motivating me to improve and succeed. To hit that next milestone or PR.
So let's shift our mindset a little bit. Enjoy the day to day process of improvement and success. It should be fun! If it isn't, talk to a coach, let us help you set some goals and make this fun!]]>
We take a flexible approach to nutrition, meaning we don't get too neurotic about food choices. However, we do recommend sticking more nutrient dense foods, a la "Paleo" and avoiding empty calories like breads and sugars. Eat meat, veggies, and starches and you'll be 90% of the way there.
But this post is about how much to eat, not food choices, which we can discuss at length at another time.
Foods can be broken down into 3 major macronutrients. Protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Protein and carbs are 4 calories per gram, fat is 9 calories per gram.
A balanced diet will consist of all 3 macronutrients, with variations based on activity levels etc.
So how do we decide how much food to eat?
Let's first establish a baseline for calories based on your Basal Metabolic Rate and activity level. Even CrossFitting, our activity level is usually lower than we think. The "lightly active" multiplier is usually sufficient.
After that I usually ascribe the 40/30/30 rule. That is 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, 30% fat.
Take for example an individual who needs 2500 cals per day.
That's a basic starting point for anyone changing their nutrition. If you are more active you may need more carbs and less fat, if you are less active, more fat and fewer carbs. We can also lower the protein for some.
The key to any change is consistency. If you make a change, stick with it for 2 weeks. Weigh and measure your food so you know exactly how much you're eating. If you haven't seen progress in those two weeks, then make an adjustment.
If you need further nutrition guidance, check out our nutrition coaching program. We can get you on the right track.]]>
So you've finally taken the plunge and started doing CrossFit. First off congratulations! You're now a part of a group of people who are dedicated to improving their fitness every day. You'll be challenged and motivated more than you ever imagined, and in the end you're going to be fitter than you thought you could be. Here's a quick timeline of what to expect when you start CrossFit.
1 Week In
You're going to be sore. Really sore. Don't worry it happens to everyone and it's a good thing, your body is adapting to the workouts and building new muscle. The best thing you can do is keep coming in! You may be stiff when you start the workout, but keeping your muscles moving will help to alleviate those pains.
2 Weeks In
The soreness has subsided. You're still going to be sore, but not as bad as week one. You're starting to get into a groove. The best thing you can do in the first 2 weeks is stay consistent. Whether it's 2, 3, 4 or 5 times per week, come in and do the work. Don't skip sessions – develop habits.
1 Month In
You're starting to get the hang of most of the movements. You know what each of the movements are, even if you need some correcting. You'll start to notice your muscles firming up. You'll notice shoulder and leg muscles that you've never noticed before. After your 1st month, develop some concrete goals moving forward. Whether it's to get a pull up or Clean your bodyweight, pick something that you want to improve.
3 Months In
You're basically a CrossFit professional (not really). Your body composition is changing and people are noticing you've leaned out and put on some muscle. You know how to do the workouts, and you've figured out how to pace them so you don't burn out in the first 5 min. You've likely hit some PR's on your lifts and maybe a benchmark or 2. Take a look back at your 1 Month goals and see where you are in relation to them. Have you hit those goals? If you're ready, set new goals and have a plan of action to complete them.
6 Months In
You have started hitting some workouts as RX. You're putting on more muscle, and getting compliments from people. You're going faster in your workouts and are noticeably stronger. Take a look at your month 1 and month 3 month goals. You'll be surprised how far you've come in just half a year. Continue making new goals, when you hit them make new ones. Find new ways to challenge yourself, sign up for an event or competition that you've never done. Maybe a Spartan Race or a local CrossFit event. These new challenges will keep you motivated for the future.]]>
The first step is always the hardest. Yes that's really cliche but very true.
So what's your first step?
Is it getting up and into the gym?
Is it changing one eating habit? Maybe subbing water for sweet tea?
Maybe it's taking a walk each day when you get home from work.
These tasks don't have to be earth shattering, but you do have to do them. Do them today, and then again tomorrow and the next day.
Putting them off won't make it any easier.
Take action! Take that first step today. Write it down, then keep going and develop momentum!
If you want actionable steps, we can help. Sign up for your free No Sweat Intro and goal setting session.]]>
Being a self starter is a rare trait. It's difficult to identify a goal and take direct steps to accomplish that goal without getting sidetracked at some point along the way.
We've all been there. We set a goal with the greatest of intentions, but at the first hint of difficulty, it's hard to keep pushing towards it. We want to run a 5k, but that first day of running is HARD, so we start to reconsider.
But, if you have someone working with you on that 5k, running with you and motivating you, you're less likely to give up after that first tough day, or that first set back.
The same goes for your fitness journey. Most people that we sit down and talk with have very clearly defined goals. They want to lose 40 lbs or be able to do a pull up. They know what the end goal is, but they may not have the motivation to get there after a setback.
If the scale doesn't drop for a week, or we still can't get that pull up after a month, what do we do then?
At a traditional gym, it falls on you to motivate yourself to come in 3 to 5 days per week and work towards that goal. You have to do it yourself. That works for some, but not for most. In fact, big box gyms would prefer you not to show up after your first setback. It keeps the equipment from getting worn out, and they still get to keep your money.
At CrossFit Wilmington, we provide you with the motivation to succeed. We want to know your goals and give you a plan to reach them. How much is that motivation worth? How important is it to continue to succeed?
If you're looking for motivation, or having a hard time keeping yours, set up a complimentary No Sweat Intro and goal setting session. We can help you navigate your fitness journey.]]>

PLC or product life cycle is a very important concept in marketing .Like human beings have a life cycle in which they go through birth, growth, maturity, decline and death products also go through the same cycle .This concept helps the business to identify the stage and thus plan accordingly .The product life cycle may vary from product to product but they all go through the same stages.
Let's understand the stages now;
1) Introduction – This is the first and foremost stage, in this the product are introduced in the market. the cost incurred in this stage is very high , sales might be less as this is just the begging and it might be possible that there is no or very little competition , lots money is spent on advertisement and customers have to be prompted to but the product. There is no profit generation at this stage
2) Growth stage – This is the 2nd stage in a products life cycle, a product has been established in the market yet and people are aware of the product by now, there is reduction in the costs and increase in sales, by this stage business starts getting some profits, even the competition increases in this stage.
3) Maturity Stage – In this stage sale increases with increase in the profit and decrease in cost, by this stage competitors have entered the market, the product reaches market saturation.
4) Decline – Once the product has reached the maturity stage ,the next is decline , as there are competitors in the market , sale declines in this stage ,revenue is equivalent to nothing and product is no more in demand
Though PLC is helpful for the marketers to take necessary step in each of the stages , according to this concept a product grows , mature and then die but not all the products must die or decline , there have been many products which are still there , for example sale of jeans never declined , it was always in demand , there might be a decline in the demand for its variant but the product has stayed in the market.
Coke and Pepsi are big names that have stayed in the market from a very long time , they have reached the saturation level but they hardly declined, their demand is still constant and companies are still earning huge profits.
Though not every product will have the same product life cycle, it will differ and so will the PLC curve, also the stages can be misleading so company should not entirely depend on PLC while detailing out the strategies.

Gout - Prevention
Gout usually develops after a number of years of buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints and surrounding tissue. You probably won't know that you have an elevated uric acid level in your blood until you have had your first gout attack.
But you can help prevent or reduce the severity of future gout attacks. To learn more, see Home Treatment.

Beyond Arthritis: Hip and Knee Replacements for Women
If your mother or grandmother had a knee or hip replacement, the odds are good she was in her late 60s or 70s when she opted for the surgery, and it was a "last resort" decision -- either get a new knee or start using a cane or a wheelchair. That's not today's joint replacement surgery. With the baby boom generation hitting their 60s -- the age at which joints start to hurt and ultimately give out -- more and more people are seeking knee and hip replacements to maintain their active lifestyle.

I found a similar drug. It has Silanes on it and it contains Glimepridine 4mg, Metformin Hydrochloride 1000mg. The only difference is that this medication is white and oblong. It's used for Diabetes and is called Glimetal. It's also manufactured in Mexico. I hope this helps. Good Luck
thanks for the comment, I do have type II diabetes. My son was actually the one who bought it, he has be on workmans comp and in need of pain meds. He took 4, nothing happened to ease the pain. He knew he was ripped off. All the good deals on cloths and stuff was on the usa side anyway. Same stuff, but you didn't have everyone trying to pull you into an alley.

Silanes is the Mfr, not the product, Mex pharmas like to imprint their pills with just their Mfr name. Most Mex "painkillers" sold OTC are a deception, for example their "Percodan", it does not contain any narcotic. The Collins Soma is good though.

Reader and text factors in reading comprehension
The effects of epistemic beliefs and text structure on cognitive processes during comprehension of scientific texts were investigated. On-line processes were measured using think-aloud (Experiment 1) and reading time (Experiment 2) methodologies. Measures of off-line comprehension, prior knowledge and epistemic beliefs were obtained. Results indicated that readers adjust their processing as a function of the interaction between epistemic beliefs and text structure. Readers with misconceptions and more sophisticated epistemic beliefs engage in conceptual change processes, but only when reading refutation texts. Results also showed that memory for text is not affected by differences in epistemic beliefs or text structure. These findings contribute to our understanding of the relations among factors associated with text comprehension and have implications for theories of conceptual change.

- "In previous studies, refutation texts have demonstrated an advantage over other text structures in promoting knowledge reconstruction for a variety of topics, including for example, energy (Diakidoy, Kendeou, & Ioannides, 2003 ) and seasons (Broughton, Sinatra, & Reynolds, 2010; Cordova, Sinatra, Broughton, Taasoobshirazi, & Lombardi, 2014). Refutation texts are particularly effective in inducing conceptual change when the text structure is designed to promote both co-activation and critical thinking (Hynd, 2001; Kendeou, Muis, & Fulton, 2011; McCrudden & Kendeou, 2014). The processes of critical evaluation and co-activation by themselves may be insufficient for sustained knowledge reconstruction. "
A plausible connection: Models examining the relations between evaluation, plausibility, and the refutation text effect[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Students are often asked to make evaluations of scientific explanations, which may involve judgments about the plausibility of competing alternatives. We examined undergraduate students' critical evaluations and plausibility perceptions of climate change when reading two different types of text: expository and refutation. Our findings show that greater critical evaluation and higher plausibility related to more knowledge after reading, but only with the refutation text. Furthermore, we found that greater plausibility had a stronger effect on knowledge after reading the refutation text, whereas greater background knowledge had a stronger effect on knowledge after reading the expository text. We also examined changes in students' plausibility and knowledge. There was significant changes in plausibility and knowledge with the refutation text, but no significant change in either variable with the expository text. These results suggest that evaluations and judgments about plausibility may be factors contributing to the refutation effect and knowledge reconstruction.0Comments 0Citations
- "In this context, it has been acknowledged that the underlying mechanisms that may result in any learning gains with refutation text remain unclear. Consequently, several relatively recent studies have focused on the comprehension processes and outcomes with refutation texts (e.g., Ariasi & Mason, 2011; Diakidoy, Mouskounti, & Ioannides, 2011; Kendeou et al., 2011; Kendeou & van den Broek, 2007; Kendeou, Walsh, Smith, & O'Brien, 2014). This research, however, provides an incomplete picture as there has been no simultaneous focus on all three constructs of interest: comprehension processes, comprehension outcomes , and learning outcomes. "
Comprehension processes and outcomes with refutation and expository texts and their contribution to learning[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The study compared the comprehension processes and outcomes obtained with refutation and expository text and their association with learning outcomes. After a knowledge pretest, undergraduate students read an extended expository text or a corresponding refutation text that addressed three potential misconceptions about the scientific concept of energy. Think-aloud, cued recall, and posttest data indicated that the positive impact of refutation text was more associated with comprehension outcomes than processes. Refutation text did not influence comprehension processes but facilitated valid inference generation in recall and minimized the negative effects of distortions on learning. The findings suggest the timing of the refutation text effect to be later, after reading, and its nature to be that of neutralizing the influence of any misconceptions on learning from text instead of changing them.0Comments 0Citations

- "There is also some evidence to suggest that relationships between beliefs about knowledge and performance may be mediated by strategic text processing. For example, students believing more in uncertain and complex knowledge seem more likely to engage in comprehension monitoring and bridging inferences (Kardash, & Howell, 2000) as well as in conceptual change processes (Kendeou et al., 2011). In comparison, the research base relating beliefs about knowing to single-text comprehension is more inconsistent and meager. "
