Among the contests featured in the NPC Ohio State Championships are women's fitness, figure, novice figure, masters figure, bikini, novice bikini, masters bikini and physique, as well as men's physique, masters physique, bodybuilding, novice bodybuilding and masters bodybuilding. Many notable International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) pros are past winners of the state championships, including IFBB fitness pros Julie Palmer (first-ever Ohio fitness champion), Ashley Sebera and Amanda Hatfield; IFBB figure pros Natalie Calland, Brenda Smith and Briana Tindall; IFBB bodybuilding pros John Meadows and Steve Burke; and IFBB bikini pros Lexi Kaufman and Nina Cash.

Do you ever wish you had buns of steel or at least a pleasantly plump derriere? Whether you're an aspiring IFBB bikini amateur or you long to look perfect in your yoga pants, you're probably seeking out glute workouts to tone your tush. We've turned to IFBB Bikini and Fitness Pros so you can see how they tone and shape their glutes as they prepare for competition. How do they get those rad rumps? Take a look at these three glute workout videos to discover some great techniques and get inspired. Don't forget to check out the Glute Workouts Pinterest board as well.
IFBB Fitness Pro, Lindsey Waters, demonstrates a few glute exercises to get your butt ready for the stage, the beach or anywhere life takes you. Check out how she trains at the East Coast Mecca: Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym. Lindsey also shares some insight as to why she finds some of the glute exercises she selects so beneficial. She also shares some of her favorite "Butt Sculpting" training techniques. Plus, you'll even find out what she does to bar boredom at the gym.
Last year with only six weeks to go until the 2014 Olympia competition, IFBB Pro Sarah LeBlanc shared some of her rigorous glute/hamstring training. In this video she gives a glimpse at the type of glute muscle targeting exercises she does for round, full glutes that all bikini girls want to have.
Tone your butt/glutes and legs like IFBB Bikini Pro Yarishna Ayala. In this video, you can see some of the exercises Yarishna does to tone her glutes and legs. She definitely mixes up her glutes and legs workout routines with a variety of different methods. Sometimes she uses nautilus equipment, for other exercises she uses free weights, on occasion dumbbells are in the mix, and there are also times when she just uses her body-weight for glutes and legs exercises. We're pretty sure we even saw some leg weights as well as a step and medicine ball in there. Take a look for yourself. Which of these exercises will you add to your glute workout routines?
We've put together an array of even more bootylicious exercises and other glute-related photos and videos on our HGH.com Glutes Workout Pinterest board.

Bodyweight training is oftentimes overlooked and underrated. What's amazing is the body transforming results that bodyweight exercises can help you achieve. It's not like your body can distinguish between a barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell or your own bodyweight. All it really knows is how hard it needs to work to move the resistance. For example, if you're bench pressing, you use your pectorals, deltoids and triceps, but don't really work any other muscle groups, unless you make a conscious effort to do so. By performing bodyweight exercises, like one-arm push-ups, you're not only working your pecs, delts and triceps, but you're also incidentally working your lats, abs, glutes, quads and hamstrings. Another great thing about bodyweight training is that you can workout anytime wherever you are. You don't need any extra equipment and you don't even have to go to the gym.
We found a few videos that show numerous bodyweight exercises, including five of Coach Kozak's favorites, 44 of the best bodyweight exercises from Tee Major Fitness and a 30-minute bodyweight boot camp. Plus, we've added a special Pinterest board filled with bodyweight training tips, exercises and workouts.
As a constant fixture in the health and fitness world for more than 15 years, Coach Kozak shares his innovative scientific method to training and nutrition. From professional athletes to soccer moms and even a Heisman trophy winner, Coach Kozak has brought extraordinary results to thousands of clients.
In this video, Coach Kozak with HASfit provides step-by-step video instruction for a full-body workout using bodyweight exercises alone. Take a glimpse at the training regimen he has in store for you:
When it comes to using bodyweight training to build strength and muscle, there are three fundamental movements: push-ups, pull ups and squats. We've discovered that there are numerous variations of these essentials, as well as a variety of other bodyweight exercises you can incorporate into your workout schedule. Tee Major Fitness presents the 44 Best Bodyweight Exercises Ever:

If you're ready to intensify your bodyweight training, then you'll love this 30-Minute Bodyweight Boot Camp Workout You Can Do Anywhere video. Adam Rosante, a celebrity trainer based out of New York City, leads the way in this half-hour of muscle pumping, sweat dripping full-body workout. He makes a wonderful point with this no excuses workout, "You're going to use the body you have to create the body you want."
This video includes a warm up, full workout and cool down, as well as lots of motivation from Adam along the way. Another nice thing about this workout is that if you don't have enough time, the warm up nicely gets your blood flowing and is better than not working out at all.

While many regard December as a period of indulgence, year-end also marks the starting point for New Year's resolutions. It's a time to take stock of your personal goals, assess your progress and analyze prior pitfalls as you plan for the year ahead. If you've fulfilled your 2014 resolutions, how can you take them to the next level in 2015? If you've fallen short, what caused you to falter, and how can you achieve success in the coming year?
To help you get your New Year's fitness resolutions off to promising start, we've solicited ideas from the HGH.com team and our sponsored athletes. Following are the top 10 tips from our resident fitness experts and IFBB pros:
1. Set SMART goals. In the business world, "SMART" stands for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound. But SMART objectives apply equally well to fitness goals. Rather than making vague resolutions like "lose weight," "bulk up" or "get fit," take the time to identify and define exactly what you're hoping to achieve. Then write down those objectives to hold yourself accountable, and set a series of incremental milestones throughout the year.
2. Do a reality check. When making New Year's resolutions, it's important to ensure your goals are realistic. People who set unreasonably high expectations for themselves – such as severe caloric restrictions or prolonged, intense daily workouts – may be more likely to give up if they backslide. By lowering the bar a bit at the outset and aiming for progressively higher goals over time, you can position yourself for success. Check out the video below and click here to watch a female personal trainer talking more about weight/endurance goals.
3. Choose your workout wisely. It's not enough to make "get to the gym" your New Year's resolution; you need to have a plan of action once you get there. A bodybuilder looking to increase upper body strength will follow a very different exercise program than a runner seeking to improve endurance or an overweight person aiming to reduce belly fat. If you're a new gym member, request an equipment demonstration so you'll know which exercises to incorporate into your routine. If you're a gym regular interested in taking your workout to the next level, schedule a session or two with a personal trainer for professional advice on how to achieve your fitness goals.

4. Tap into tips from bodybuilding and fitness pros. While personal trainers are a great resource for gym-goers, individuals who prefer a do-it-yourself approach will find a wealth of information just a click away. Many trainers and pro bodybuilders share their expert advice via blogs, YouTube videos, podcasts and other social media channels. Look up athletes whose physique you admire, and see what they share online. For example, IFBB pro Tricky Jackson airs a weekly Pro Muscle Radio broadcast that's popular among bodybuilders. And be sure to check the HGH.com blog regularly for curated posts featuring videos, tips and advice from some of the country's top bodybuilders, athletes and trainers. Check out the Tricky Jackson video below.
5. Change the scene. While some people perform best by following a regular routine, others get bored quickly and are more apt to give up their resolutions when they lose interest. If daily visits to the same gym seem like a tedious prospect, try varying your routine. Alternate gym days with home workouts or team sports; or visit a local park with fitness stations in lieu of exercising indoors.
6. Raise your nutrition IQ. Many people equate the word "diet" with counting calories or restricting carb or fat intake; but the reality is that proper diet and nutrition are as much about consuming the right foods, vitamins and minerals as avoiding the wrong ones. Consider making an appointment with a nutritionist or checking out a few books to learn how specific foods and dietary supplements can help you achieve your fitness goals, from building muscle or burning fat to increasing stamina or minimizing recovery time. And explore the HGH.com blog to discover the functions, benefits and evidence behind some of the key ingredients in popular health and bodybuilding supplements.
7. Track your progress. Hopping on the scale each morning or measuring your biceps every evening can create disappointment, as you'll rarely see immediate results. It's better to track your progress over time, with a weigh-in or measurement every week or on alternating weeks. Since fitness and bodybuilding goals tend to involve a gradual progression, you're not likely to notice changes in yourself from day to day. But if you take weekly or semi-weekly photos of yourself, the results will be clearly visible as you work toward your goals.

8. Find your motivation. Whether it's a mantra or a mentor, find what (or who) inspires you and keep that front and center as you focus on fitness resolutions. Motivating messages and visual cues can have a powerful impact. Follow Twitter or Facebook pages that post inspirational quotes and practical advice, or create a Pinterest board with aspirational images that propel you to strive harder. To see what inspires us, click over to the HGH.com Pinterest boards.
Tips and Motivation From the Pros.
9. Register for an event. Even if you're a long way from achieving your fitness goals, committing to a specific event will give you something tangible to work toward. If your objective is to run the Boston Marathon, sign up for a local half marathon a few months out. If you dream of competing in pro bodybuilding championships, register for some regional novice-level contests as you work your way toward a pro card.
10. Never give up! When all is said and done, succeeding at your New Year's fitness resolutions doesn't mean having a perfect track record every single day of the entire year. It's only human to have an occasional lapse or to get sidetracked when work or personal obligations take precedence; the key is to look at these events as momentary hurdles rather than insurmountable obstacles. Remember that success is an ongoing journey, and you're in it for the long haul!

Ready to workout like the IFBB Pros? In this month's edition of HGH.com's Tips from IFBB Pros, we've got quite the video lineup ready for you and we've added more to the dedicated Pinterest board. We start out with an extreme chest workout with Kai Greene, move onto an incredible feature-length video with a full-body workout from Dennis James and round it out with top-notch training with our friend, Ben White.
Workout your chest like the pros. IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Kai Greene pumps iron with IFBB Pro Men's Physique competitors, Jeff Seid and Alon Gabbay. Not only do you get an incredible half-hour chest workout with these pros, but they also share some significant insight along the way. Watch their technique and form as they do these exercises
Prior to entering the Mr. Olympia contest in 2003, IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Dennis James filmed this total body workout. This is the first feature-length, two-hour movie in the Titans bodybuilding series. Go through this vein-popping, muscle-rippling workout with Dennis that includes shoulders, triceps, chest, biceps, legs and back, along with posing.
What makes Ben White one of the world's strongest IFBB Pro Bodybuilders? From eating the right foods to doing different types of muscle-building exercises to taking the right supplements, Ben puts his everything into preparing for competition. In this video, Ben shows us what it takes for an incredible workout. As you'll see in the video below, Ben insists on using heavy weights even when he has to pause mid-range for pictures to be taken.
We're proud to say that Ben is also one of HGH.com's sponsors. After taking HGH.com supplements, Ben stated, "While taking HGH.com products, I have been consumed with complements on the way my physique has changed in the past few months." Get to know Ben better:

"Holiday workout" may seem like an oxymoron during this time of year when Halloween treats are still lurking around your house, you're ready to gobble up some Thanksgiving turkey, and holiday parties and celebrations are right around the corner. If you don't want to have a jiggly belly like jolly ol' St. Nick, then we've got some holiday workout routines and tips to get you through. We've gathered together some rockin' exercises and helpful hints for keeping your fitness goals on track throughout the holiday season. Plus, we've created a Pinterest board focusing on today's topic: Holiday Workouts and Tips.
How can you keep working toward your fitness goals throughout the holidays? Daniel and Kelly from Fitness Blender answer this question in a way that may surprise you. One of the major keys is to enjoy yourself, and stay away from the worry and guilt. The reality is that if you stick to your usual routine except for the few holidays, you should be fine to indulge on those days. It's okay to splurge a little here and there, if you keep working out and eating clean the rest of the time. The real secret is to stay away from all of the treats coming into the workplace. If you do have some indulgences, don't skip meals to try to counteract it. This won't help at all in the long run. There's a fun blooper section at the end of this video as well.
Holiday parties and celebrations can wreak havoc on your healthful eating and workout habits. All of the sweet treats and indulgences that come with these events can be difficult to turn down, and being short on time can sabotage your workouts. Health and fitness consultant, Alycia Kluegl, provides some helpful holiday party tips and also shares a great workout. A few of her top tips are.
Don't got the party hungry. Limit alcoholic drinks. Socialize away from the food and bar.
Plus, the Power Three full-body workout she recommends, includes:
Jump Squats Push ups with Hip Extension Half Sit Ups
Vertical from Barstarzz leads us in a high intensity workout that's ideal for burning fat and building muscle. You can ban the bulge with this fast-paced workout that features:
High Knees Mountain Climbers Hardcore Burpees Pull ups Dips Push ups
We've put together a vast selection of exercises and tips to help you enjoy the holidays, while maintaining your fitness routine. Check out HGH.com's Holiday Workouts and Tips Pinterest board to stay motivated throughout the holiday season.

When thinking about the different type of lifters and training – bodybuilders, weightlifters and powerlifters – we think it's much like a battle of the buffest. Each type of lifting program improves strength and size in its own way.
Which one is right for you? That's something you'll need to decide. Who knows, you may like to do some training from each of these areas to get the results you desire. Check out these videos to get a better idea of some of the different techniques and build each of these athletes have. We've also created a Bodybuilder vs. Weightlifter vs. Powerlifter Pinterest board
As we mention above, there are differences between bodybuilders, weightlifters and powerlifters. Berlin Strength in Germany thought it would be fun to find out which type of lifter would last the longest in a squat session. Keep in mind, they are speaking German, but the subtitles are in English, when you press the Closed Captioning (CC) button. Let's see who the winner is in this friendly squat session competition: one of the two powerlifters, the weight lifter or the bodybuilder. Who do you think it will be.
Join us with the crew from Berlin Strength Gym in Germany as bodybuilders train with powerlifters. The Bodybuilder Meets Powerlifter video below shows bodybuilders Harry Irorutola and Felix Valentino do a basic power lifting workout with powerlifters Thomas Faber and Romano Rengal. As bodybuilders, Harry and Felix workout to make their bodies look awesome, while powerlifting is more about extreme strength and power. In this video, they focus on powerlifting basics, including squats, deadlifts and benchpresses. Thomas and Romano also share several tips on proper powerlifting technique. Much like the video above, this one is spoken in German, but the subtitles are in English when you click on the CC button.
See how the deadlift is done with this friendly backyard battle between a bodybuilder, a powerlifter and a strongman. You'll see slightly different techniques as each competitor basically does the deadlift as they do in their training. Who will come out as the deadlift champion?
Take a look at the collection of bodybuilder, weightlifter and powerlifter pins on HGH.com's Pinterest board.

$125 Chase Bonus & Chase Total Checking Account Review
Update 8/17/11: The $125 bonus has been extended to 10/7/2011.
There's another $125 cash bonus for opening a Chase checking account with direct deposit, but unlike past ones, you don't have to log into Chase to see it. The $125 Chase bonuses that are easily accessible online have been much less common than Chase's $100 bonuses. There have been other options offline. Many have reported finding $125 Chase bonus offers in the change-of-address package at post offices. Also, some have reported receiving $150 and $200 bonus offers in the mail, and these are being sold on eBay.com.
Offer is scheduled to expire 3/31/2011. Note, these offers often end before the expiration date.
The promotion page gives you the option to apply online or you can have them email you the coupon code. There's a special offer link in this page for residents of AZ, GA, ID, MI, NV, OK, UT, WI and WV.
Here's the small print of the offer (emphasis is mine):
Offer not available to existing Chase checking customers. Offer valid through 3/31/11. To qualify for the bonus you must open a new Chase Total CheckingSM account with a $100 minimum deposit of new money (money not currently held by Chase or its affiliates). Also, within 60 calendar days of account opening, we must receive from your employer or the government a monthly electronic direct deposit of your payroll, pension or government benefits, such as Social Security. The bonus will be deposited into your new account within 10 business days after your initial direct deposit is posted to your account. Bonus is not considered part of minimum opening deposit. Limit one checking account-related bonus per customer, per calendar year. Offer not available on account conversions or in combination with any other offer. Employees of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and our affiliates are not eligible. Checking account must remain open for a minimum of six months or the bonus will be debited from the account at closing. Account is subject to approval. Bonus is considered interest and will be reported on IRS Form 1099-INT.
Chase Total Checking Account Review
One thing that has changed at Chase is that it's harder to avoid monthly fees. Chase isn't giving away money to be nice. They know most people taking advantage of these bonuses will stay with them and be profitable customers. That's actually good for those who know how things work and are careful to avoid fees.
Here are the ways that you can avoid monthly fees on this Chase Total Checking account (any one of the following will do):
- With a monthly direct deposit of $500 or more (two or more direct deposits that add up to $500 or more do not qualify), OR
- $1,500 minimum daily balance
- average daily balance of $5,000 or more in linked deposit/investment accounts
- Paid other Chase checking related fees of at least $25
Otherwise, a $12 monthly service fee applies ($10 monthly Service Fee in CA, OR and WA). Chase used to waive monthly fees when you made five or more debit-card purchases in a month.
Refer to Chase's fee disclosure (link at bottom of checking page) for other fees to watch out for. Some noteworthy ones include:
- $2.50 for using non-Chase ATMs (not including fee from other bank)
- $25 if account is closed within 90 days
- $15 incoming domestic wire transfer fee ($30 outgoing)
We are likely to see some new fees this year as I described in this forum thread.
Your Rating and Review of Chase?
If you have experience with Chase, please consider posting a review and submitting a rating in our Chase reviews page. You can also submit a review of Chase or any bank or credit union in our Bank and Credit Union Reviews forum.
Chase is FDIC insured under JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (FDIC Certificate # 628).
Other Bank Bonuses
To find other bonus deals at other banks and credit unions, please refer to the bank bonus page which has all of my recent bank bonus blog posts. There are also additional bonuses listed in the checking account deals forum.

I mean honestly this could be the worst game I have ever played
Post your thought's (Does anyone actually enjoy it?)
I agree, this game was terrible. The only reason I could even think of liking it is the fact I enjoyed all of the older Conflict games which makes me disappointed when I think about this game. They should have kept it with four people. Also, what made them decide that you needed to have unlimited ammunition in the game? Yes, it is in there for people who don't believe me. All you have to do is keep going back to the weapon cache.
This game was just bad.
GT - zhoban. If you add me, send a message stating why otherwise I will just ignore it.

[Video] "The Camera": Modest Gear, $50 and an Inspired Mind
"The Camera" is a haunting short film by Peter Lewis about a girl who finds an old polaroid camera that produces some unique and unexpected results. Using modest equipment: Canon Rebel T2i, Canon 50mm f/1.4, Tamron 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 and a $50 budget, Peter knocked this film out while on vacation in Nags Head, North Carolina. Even more impressive is that this is Peter's first film and he produced the entire thing himself including, filming, sound, the musical score and post production. Well done!

Have been looking for a long time for comfortable, but fashionable shoes. I can actually be in them all day without my corn screaming "take me off".
I saw them in the store window and went in to try on.
I know own three pair and plan to get more colors.
I'm in love with these shoes, I already own three. I intended to buy all the colors they offer. I can honestly say they are very comfortable since they feel as though, I'm not wearing anything. I'm very happy with this particular product.
The sales associate in the store encouraged me to try these soes on and I could not believe how comfortable they were. Cute too! I started with two colors and now have five! I love these shoes!
Very very comfortable but you must add an additional insole or orthotic since there is very little bottom padding in the insole
Very, very comfortable and the colors are great. I plan on buying these in additional colors. The price is great, too
These shoes feel as comfortable as slippers! They are casual and stylish. I recommend Arcopedico LS to everyone!
If you don't own these shoes, you should. I have them in grey and navy---the most comfortable and stylish casual shoes possible. i recommend them to everyone, and intend to own them in all colors very soon

old routers and consumer DSL modems would not route traffic for these
systems when TCP timestamps were enabled. As a workaround, TCP
timestamps were disabled via sysctl.
This update restores the previous ordering of TCP options, and
reenables TCP timestamps. We apologize for the inconvenience.

You've arrived at the former K9 Station website! You're not lost!
A big hello from Lisa and Kerry! We live on Panther Holler, a little six-acre farm tucked away on a wooded hillside in Clarkridge, Arkansas in between Midway, Arkansas and Gainesville, Missouri.
We chose the name Panther Holler for our little place because the old Kilgore homestead of my grandfather's in Newton County was named Panther Ranch, and we wanted to continue the family tradition. Around here we have always had very elusive mountain lions which are now making a comeback in Arkansas and Missouri. Locally they have always been called "panthers." Many stories and fables have been passed down through oral history over the years in these Ozark hills and hollers. One very famous tale about Sam Hudson on Panther Creek just beyond the Diamond Cave trailhead at the base of Mt. Sherman occured very near my grandpa's land. Stop by for a cup of coffee sometime, and I will share that exciting and mysterious tale with you. Then, you can pass it along to your children by the campfire on a dark night...
My dog training articles are still here and located on the Dog Training link.
I am raising and training farm-bred working Australian Shepherds and English Shepherds. All of my dogs are bred to work and I am very serious about the all-around working dog on the small farm. I will be breeding a few litters here and there--check the Stockdogs page for more information on my personal dogs.
Our little farm is currently producing hogs, eggs, meat chickens, rabbits, and rabbit pelts. Please click on the Farm link to see what's going on around here! We are having so much fun with our little place. There's always something new happening, so check back often!

"Touch" is a preternatural drama where science and spirituality meet in which we are all interconnected. The show follows a group of unrelated characters. One of these is Martin Bohm (Kiefer Sutherland), a widower and a single father who is haunted by an inability to connect to his mute and severely autistic 10-year-old son, Jake. Martin has tried everything he could do in order to reach his son, but at no success. To spend his time, Jake has cast-off cell phones, disassembling them and manipulating the parts. This allows him to see the world in a different way entirely. Martin is visited by social worker Clea Hopkins. She insists on doing an evaluation of the living situation.
Clea sees Martin as a man whose life has become dominated by a child he can no longer control. Martin discovers that Jake possesses a gift of staggering genius. That is, the ability to see things that no one else can, the patterns that connect everything to each other. Martin is guided by Boris Podolsky, an aging professor with a compelling but unorthodox theory about Jake. The theory is to join spirituality and science together in one happy medium. Created by Tim Kring. Francis Lawrence (Water for Elephants), "Touch" is an inspiring journey of a father and his love for his son with an unique talent for the world to see.

- Bob Vila TV Shows >
- Modern Colonial > Episode 23: Interior Design Projects
Tour of the McLellan House in Portland, ME
Project: Modern Colonial, Episode 23, Part 2
Interior designer Leslie Curtis is back on-site, as is Kevin Murphy from Smith + Noble, who's hanging the new window treatments in the dining room. On an opposing wall, Curtis has chosen to frame and hang examples of antique wallpaper. In the workshop, Ron and Tracy Lindholm (from Cape Cod Picture Framing) show Bob how they assembled and decorated the frames. Offsite, Bob visits the McLellen House at the Portland Museum of Art in Portland, ME.
- Part 1: Selecting and Installing Window Treatments
- Part 2: Tour of the McLellan House in Portland, ME
- Bob visits the McLellan House in Portland, ME, which is part of the Portland Museum of Art. Curator Jessica Nicoll leads Bob on a tour of a recent $8.6 million restoration project.
Highlights from the front hallway include the reproduction wallpaper (modeled after a home in Sutton, MA), the home's original wainscoting, and a painted oilcloth floor.
Bob Cariddi joins Bob to discuss the restoration of the flying staircase, the home's architectural centerpiece. The entire staircase was dismantled and put in storage while necessary structural work was completed. It was later reassembled with new laminated veneer lumber (LVL) supports. At the top of the staircase, the restored Palladian windows are visible. Each window was individually removed and restored.
Back downstairs, Nicoll takes Bob through a front parlor. The parlor's notable features include its bright green wallpaper, detailed moldings, and a false door that was created to maintain symmetry throughout the room.
- Part 3: Picture Framing
This project focuses on the construction of a Colonial-style home built with both history and the future in mind. While the 4-bedroom, 4-bath home will have a traditional exterior and interior detailing, the plan will suit the needs of a modern family, including easy-maintenance fireplaces, a great room, master suite, sun room, 3-car garage, and a large walk-out basement with plenty of room for recreation and indoor/outdoor living.

Last week we wrote about what it's like to be an expat in Britain, but now we're turning our attention to the other side of the pond. Are you one of our many expat or resident readers based in the United States? Then read on, because we have an amazing opportunity for you.
Can't make it to the UK for the Queen's Jubilee?
The weekend of June 2-3 marks the Queen's 60th year on the throne of Great Britain. We're excited about the big day and to celebrate, we're looking for America's true 'H.R.H' (High-Flying Royal Highness) – the high society party planner with serious social media wings.
Tell us why you're the go-to party planner. Did your friends attend your 5 a.m. Royal Wedding viewing party? Do you know where to get the official Diamond Jubilee bunting? Show us why you're the ultimate H.R.H by telling us all about your plans for the ultimate Jubilee street party.
How to enter
To enter to be Virgin Atlantic's H.R.H, you need to tweet your entry to us at @VirginAtlantic using the hashtag #RoyalTreatment. We want to know all about your street party idea and how you would involve your friends and social community. We recommend that you create one of the following:
- a video clip
- a blog post
- other creative use of your networks (Twitter, YouTube, Facebook page, or any other social network)
Make sure your network gets involved in promoting your entry! Remember, we are looking for someone who can demonstrate why they are Virgin Atlantic Royalty. The winner will be chosen based on creativity, originality and the ability to bring their block out to mark this monumental event.
Winners will receive a Royal Street Party hosted by Virgin Atlantic on June 3rd, including all the fixing for a proper celebration. We'll find the venue and bring bunting, party supplies, games and proper British cuisine. All you need do is bring your friends
So if you've ever looked longingly down your street wishing bunting was attached to the light posts instead of trainers wrapped on the power line, or ever had the desire to host your 100 closest friends within a few blocks from your home, you're one entry away from the #Royal Treatment.
And remember, for more British goodness visit BBC America's Anglophenia blog and the brand new Mind the Gap expat resource, which has just been launched in association with Virgin Atlantic - and just in case you need some extra inspiration, they've already written an article about how to throw an authentic British street party. Now, where did we put that bunting?

Here's Why You Suck, GoDaddy
Databases are wonderful things. They contain incredible sums of raw data which can often be put together to form very useful pieces of information. Some companies are incredibly efficient at turning raw data into actionable information. Others, however, would be wise to invest in a proper statistician. GoDaddy is a perfect example of this.
Waiting in my Inbox this morning was this message:
A customer survey? Okay, it looks like they're genuinely looking for feedback from people who have used their services in the past. Problem is, though, I'm not a customer. I haven't had any dealing with this organization since January of last year when I migrated my email and domain hosting services to better managed companies. Perhaps the marketing team just forgot to filter their list for active customers, which I can forgive them for. What I can't forgive, though, is the lack of reason for me to spend X number of minutes suggesting ways to improve offerings without some kind of token in return. A contest for an 8GB iPod Touch, a Windows Phone 7 device, or some other cheap piece of hardware that I wouldn't be eligible to receive because I'm outside of the 48 American states where such a competition would be valid and legal. Something. Anything!
But that's not how things work at GoDaddy.
So, how can GoDaddy improve their services to win people like me back? They can't. But here's what they can do for 99% of their customers to reduce the amount of hair pulling, swearing, and support calls required for tasks that should be simpler than sending an email.
Stop changing the interface every 2 weeks. Just when we learn how to navigate one poorly implemented, confusing, and infuriatingly complex interface, you overhaul it with something that's even less intuitive. Do yourself a favor and hire a head hunter to find some of the better UX and UI people looking for an opportunity. Chances are you'll find an excellent person (or team) within a month.
Pay attention to your web servers. I've worked with clients' GoDaddy-hosted sites for years and, when the darn things weren't being hacked through malicious code hosted on other accounts, they were terribly slow and unresponsive. This wasn't so much due to network speed, but overloading of the servers. A simple PHP-based site should not require 20 seconds to load after a fresh install, especially when there is no database connection being used. If there are too many heavy applications running on the servers, consider moving accounts around to provide a better experience for all of your customers.
Pay attention to your database servers. I have never seen such a sorry collection of database servers in my life. It's impossible to work with these things outside the most basic of commands. A site administrator should not need to beg for a small table containing 3KB of data to return results in under 1 second. One whole second is a lifetime for most databases.
If a site is going down every week for maintenance outside of the maintenance window, tell us why. I have two clients who receive angry messages from their customers because a website "disappeared" without warning to be replaced with a standard GoDaddy message. It's highly unprofessional.
and finally ...
Don't wait 15 months to reach out to customers who have left your service. I made it very clear last February that I was cancelling my services due to the issues listed above. There should be a standard questionnaire sent out to people much sooner than this to anyone who has cancelled, not renewed, or otherwise gone incommunicado with the company. It's just common sense.
One thing I will praise GoDaddy for, though, is their email encoding. The last time I had an HTML-encoded message come from this company, the darn encoding was messed up. Thanks for resolving that one issue guys.

Funding via Fundación ESPOIR
He gradually began fixing tires until it became his primary job. Now he works from 8:30am until 4pm every day. Since there is great demand for repair services, he had to hire an employee to work as his assistant. In order to generate additional income, Ernesto is requesting a loan to buy a chicken roaster so that he can start another business and secure his retirement.
In the future, he wants to solidify his vulcanization shop and have his own chicken rotisserie so that he can have a secure retirement using the income from both businesses.
Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

Federal Parent Loan ("PLUS")
The PLUS Loan is designed with the parent in mind. From this loan program, the parent may borrow the difference between the "cost of attendance" and all financial aid the student has received.
Information about the Parent PLUS application process will be available in the summer. Interest rates are shown in the right column under Loan Basics.
Please do not apply for the Parent PLUS Loan until instructed to do so by the Office of Financial Aid.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed before you can apply for this loan.
Parents who wish to borrow the Parent PLUS Loan can do so one of two ways: 1) Online or 2) Lake Forest PLUS Loan Request Form.
First time borrowers must complete a PLUS Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN). Repeat borrowers will be contacted via email if a new MPN is needed.
1) Online
Determine the amount you need to borrow, by using the Budget Calculator. Note that the "end value" is the NET amount needed from the loan to cover the costs listed in the first two sections of the Calculator (not books, travel, personal expenses, etc.). Once you have determined the NET amount, divide that value by 0.957 to arrive at the GROSS amount you need to request to end up with the NET amount
You (the parent) should "sign in" at www.studentloans.gov and select "Request a Direct PLUS Loan then select "Parent PLUS." Please use your own Federal Student Aid ID and not the student's FSA ID. To create an FSA ID or if you forgot yours, go to www.fsaid.ed.gov.
When completing the Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan application, you will be required to select the loan period start dates. You can select August 2015 to May 2016 if you want this loan for fall and spring semesters. Or if you wish to apply for one semester only you can do August - December 2015 for fall term only, or January - May 2016 for spring term only.
You will be required to select the loan amount you wish to borrow (remember to include the 4.292% origination fee), or you can request the maximum amount and we will determine what amount that is based on the cost of attendance and financial aid received.
If you receive a negative credit decision, you will be presented with the following options:
- Appeal the decision – You should consider this option if you think there is an error on your credit report.
- Apply with an endorser – Additional information will be presented to you by the Application Services Department, but make a note of the loan ID number.
- Additional Unsubsidized loan for the student - Additional loan limits are- first-year and sophomore students: up to $4,000 per year, and junior and senior students: up to $5,000 per year.
- Undecided – No additional loans will be awarded to the student. Please contact our office to discuss the options.
If you were approved, complete an MPN: You (the parent) must complete the Parent PLUS Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN):
- Go to www.studentloans.gov and sign in using your FSA ID. On the left hand side menu select "complete MPN" then select "Parent PLUS", and then complete all four steps.
2) LFC Parent PLUS Loan Request Form
Download and complete the 2016-17 PLUS Loan Request Form (COMING SOON), and
Compete the Parent PLUS Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN):
- Go to www.studentloans.gov, and sign in using your FSA ID. On the left hand side menu select "complete MPN" then select "Parent PLUS", and then complete all four steps.
What happens next
If you are eligible for a PLUS Loan:
Approximately 10 days after you submit the PLUS Loan Request Form to us, we receive word of the credit decision. If the PLUS Loan is approved, it will appear on your tuition account as an anticipated credit. After we certify the loan (confirm your eligibility) the loan funds will be sent to the College and applied to the student's tuition account. You will receive a notice from the College's Business Office when the funds have been applied to your student's account.
If you are not eligible for a PLUS Loan ("adverse credit"):
If you are denied the PLUS Loan your son/daughter will be able to receive some additional funds, up to $5,000, from the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan.
A PLUS Loan can be denied if you have adverse credit, currently defined as being 90 or more days delinquent on any debt, or any of the following in the last five years: loan default, bankruptcy, foreclosure, repossession, tax lien, wage garnishment, etc…

When i decided to get back into cycling, I decided that a laid back roadster like my father had would fit my needs best. Unfortunately an affordable Raleigh in reasonable condition never turned up, so after considering the options I chose to get a PA-02, fix the known issues and make it a 3 speed.
As expected the hardware was marginal, pedals useless, and taco shaped wheels. All the hardware has been replaced with stainless, the pedals with heavy duty rubber cruiser pedals, the front wheel trued and the rear built all new with a 1972 SA AW.
The seat post and seat replaced with a Brooks B135, a NOS Sears generator light set modified with bridge rectifier, rechargeable batteries, Nicelight LEDs, Fibrex brake shoes with Kool Stop salmon pads, Schwalbe delta cruiser tires, Bell tool bag, old school pump and mounts, and waiting on new cotters as one was stripped out of the box.
The basic bike is heavy and heavy duty it should last a lifetime, assembly was fairly straight forward, but the brake stirrups and clips need significant forming for the pads to contact the rim correctly.
Definitely not a Raleigh, but with some effort, much better than discount store bikes. Have only done a few short rides so far, the ride quality is very nice, the brakes used together are as effective as my Phantoms coaster brake, Overall I'm satisfied, and have enjoyed the build.

Although I've discussed quality in past "Final Mix" columns, I haven't talked about whether quality matters in recorded media. At the core of this question is the delivery system for the final product: from wax cylinders and discs to wire recording, vinyl LPs, 8-track tape, and cassettes, each medium has imposed severe limitations on recorded signals, primarily in terms of frequency response and dynamic range. No matter how good the fidelity of the product that came from the studio, mastering degraded it to accommodate the medium.
On the consumer's end, things were worse. Put simply, most people listened on crappy systems, including small, poor-quality, badly placed loudspeakers; amplifiers with high distortion and no headroom; turntables with wow, flutter, and misaligned tracking; and so on. For many years, music was heard mostly on inferior types of car radios; then Sony brought out the Walkman, and everyone was listening on tiny headphones.
Today, the general quality of audio equipment is light-years beyond those old systems, though lousy equipment still abounds. Radio stations have long broadcast in stereo, TV is becoming digital, and DVD is capable of delivering high-resolution audio.
But even as reproduction got better, data compression came into play to counter the improvement. This problem is not new, either: the RIAA curve for LPs, NAB curve for tape, and Dolby noise reduction were early methods of compensating for limitations in delivery media that, while maximizing fidelity within the media's raw capabilities, nonetheless introduced degradation. Then came digital audio, whose data-rate challenges sparked MP3, Dolby Digital, and other forms of lossy compression.
Some of this newer stuff doesn't sound too bad, especially when you compare it with cassettes, but it is lossy, and there is an audible difference between master and compressed audio. With personal stereo gone to MP3 players, we are a step beyond the original cassette Walkman; yet we are still listening to crap when compared with a high-resolution recording played on a decent sound system. Then there are video games, which even now often offer 11 kHz sampled sound with virtually no dynamic range. Even a good sound system can't help them much.
Which brings us back to the question of whether quality matters. From a relative standpoint, the answer would be "yes." Engineers and producers have long used Auratones, Yamaha NS-10s, car stereos, boom boxes, and other consumer references to ensure their mixes would sound their best given the limitations of the likely playback systems. I knew of a studio that had a brickwall limiter and a low-power FM transmitter so that a producer could go to his car and hear how the broadcast chain would mangle the mix.
The flip side of the coin was that absolute quality — the best a mix could possibly sound under the optimal circumstances — was compromised. High-quality recordings hold up better than inferior recordings when compressed and played back on bad systems, but MP3s are often improved by high-frequency contouring before encoding, and heavy gain maximization makes things sound bigger on the radio and on personal stereos. So mastering still degrades the product for the sake of the delivery medium.
If playback scenarios are so bleak, does quality matter in an absolute sense? It would be easy to answer "no," and, under deadline pressure, this sometimes is the answer. But that doesn't make me happy, and being happy with the sound is the best reason for being in the business; the money and hours certainly aren't as compelling. What's more, the beauty of recorded media is that it can be around for a while, and — who knows? — playback quality could improve.
So, let's be clear: in my view, absolute quality is important simply because I care and because some people, some time, may be able to appreciate the difference. In the real world of production, though, the goal is to deliver the best sound possible under the circumstances — specifically, the user's expected delivery system. The closer we can bring the latter to the former, the happier everyone will be. The rest of the time, it's just another less-than-perfect aspect of reality that we must live with.

"a great place for the novice hiker" Top 5 Page for this destination Utah Sports & Outdoors Tip by richiecdisc
Utah Sports & Outdoors: 16 reviews and 8 photos
If you were thinking of trying hiking our, Utah is a great place to start. Trails in the National Park's of the southern part of the state tend to be short to medium length. You're not going to put in any 12+ hours days in. Also in your favor is your elevation pick up is not great either with a gain of 1500 feet a big day. That's not a lot compared to climbing out of the Grand Canyon for 5000 feet.
Trails are well marked and maintained as a rule in the National Parks of Utah. Bryce Canyon National Park offers great short hikes with rewarding views. Arches National Park has some very easy walks with amazing vistas. Zion National Park has a lot of hikes of all levels from easy strolls along the Virgin River to the adventurous chained climb up to Angel's Landing. Capitol Reef also offers some longer trails that still are of an enjoyable length.
The more advanced hiker will find some interesting trails as well in parks like Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and Canyonlands. In the former's case, there isn't much elevation but navigation is the obstacle, with The Wave requiring a special map from the park service to make your way out. Canyonlands offers up some steep trails down to the Green River, a great tune-up if doing the Grand Canyon later.
Hikes are often quite busy so best to do them early morning. Not only do you escape the crowds but the temperatures are more pleasant and there's better light for photography. The Wave requires a special permit so numbers are limited. Check out my individual Utah pages for more information on how to hike Utah to the fullest.
Equipment: Good sturdy boots are a must when hiking over slick rock and the often abrasive sandstone that defines Utah trails. Don't skimp socks, your feet will appreciate the extra money you put out for the padding. Desert hiking is best in long light pants and shirts for sun protection and best for changes in the weather that occur. Utah is not a real backpacker's mecca though there are some multi-day hikes in the Staircase for those experienced in slot canyon trekking. So, a day pack will suffice for most people. Sunglasses and a wide brimmed hat will also come in handy in this very sunny state.
