Any ideas for me getting fit without doing boring things -i.e. running, biking, swimming or wasting hours in a gym? I mean, I know I can do those things -well, I can't swim- but I hate them, not because of the effort, but because I find them dull and boring, and I don't want to spend my scarce free time doing things I don't like. Anyone?
Apart from that...
Poor Hammy, he's not much in shape lately...
Guess he's not much Social-Strata-powered these days.
Don't talk about Hammy, you'll get the thread locked, it's all very hush, hush old Chap...as far as eXeRcIsE...i recommend going outside to mix amongst thine rEd HoT Spanish babes and practice copulation, if you're struggling at least running after them will get you fit and if you're successful, that will get you fit, it's a win, win situation.
Failing that, learning the Saxamaphone whilst running will apparently get you fit too.
I can assure you if you join a co-ed class you'll be both entertained and get a workout that will test you quite a bit even though everything seems slow and easy.
Just be sure to not stare, drool, smack your lips, or demonstrate how you can immitate a top while on your belly.
Also, rowing....Yet to keep it interesting row a regular Jon boat or the like out somewhere far, then fish a while, then row back (and you must learn how to row properly to get a full body workout).
I'm not sure how old you are, and it can be VERY dangerous for men due to prostate cancer, yet ask your doctor about hormone replacement therapy in the form of testosterone for just a very short time.......Used in female sized doses (obviously male 10x more yet very dangerous), if used in the short term will peel off all that internal fat that gives you a gut, love handles and the like (the fat at a certain age shifts to a different type that fills all the gaps around the organs. Hence when you eat feeling bloated and the like)....BE WARNED....Take too much and your own production of testosterone will cease!...More so, it can cause prostate cancer. Use it with excercise to simply get a good head start.....Then cease all use.
Get a large dog and daily walk him in the country....His pace, his range, daily....
Thank you guys and girls.
@Monty: Well, copulation is getting hard these days, and I'd rather have some exercise I can do on a regular basis, without drinking and buying drinks. Picking up women on their 30s and 40s is a very mind tiring thing, and it's my belly I want to work, not my patience. But thanks, lad.
@LBillie: Well, yoga looks like a good exercise, but having one of those vegan monitors talking constantly about healthy life and the benefits of nature, while some obnoxious "ambience" New Age music sounds around, is too irritating for me, and those are the only people I know who are teaching yoga around here. But I may give it a shot.
About testosterone, well, better no. I've seen too many people with hormone problems, not to know how delicate a balance is with those things. I'm very afraid of messing with my basal system. Besides, I think it's not legal to have those things without a recipe in Spain -and I think that's a good thing, with so many idiot brats trying to burst their shirts everywhere now. On the other side, I'm one of those guys with an excess of testosterone (no joke, you know, balding hairy compact short-tempered guy), and I'm quite sure a bit more would turn me into Mr. Hyde, which is definitely not good with a bipolar-ish personality like mine...
Sorry Dux, i thought you were just kidding about exercise.
When weight training (at home)i put my favourite music on whilst streaming some erm!...erotic art...ahem!, the test is to get through my training session without getting balsa.
When Cycling, i use my Mobile phone, which has mp3 and headset, i take a country road route, cycle between 6-10 miles, 2-4 times a week, this keeps me slim, lessens the boredom of exercise.
You're going to have to do some form of Cardiovascular exercise to get the belly down, along with watching your diet, this is my weak spot, i cannot be doing with it so i tend to exercise over what i need to, so i can eat what i want.
Cannot do that here in Colorado. The bears consider bikers with headsets as appetizers here.Originally posted by Monty_Thrud:

If you are serious about losing weight, take a look at what you are doing during your normal time and consider making it more active. Take up some active hobbies such as gardening or birdwatching. Exercising alone just will not cut it if you just lay back and eat fatty foods after an hour of exercise.
Take up karate.
I get really bored of exercise which is actually the biggest reason why half the time I don`t bother.
With karate I am always getting exercised and I feel it has a purpose; defence, which keeps me going.
Billfish had a good suggestion in that doing a coed class will help you do better.
I mean, you don't want to look like your not trying in front of the ladies, plus you get something nice to look at during your exercise.
This we'll defend

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Sadly to say this story is in regards to my unbelievably well taken care of 2002 S500 Mercedes Benz. I have taken my Mercedes to Kevin Naylor and Nate Rogers for almost two years now and I must say that the relationship has been good for the most part except for the very beginning. Now it has ended with a BANG as most relationships do. Yes, this story has an unfortunate non caring end to it and it will have a buyer beware and Service Department beware as well. This is the third Penske shop in the valley in Phoenix,AZ where I have caught them with their pants down in a dishonest manner involving putting in parts to my vehicle in which they didnt need to be put in.
Heres the story. I recently took my 2002 S 500 Mercedes Benz to the Chandler Mercedes Benz where Michael Druken is the GSM, Kevin Naylor is the Service Manager and Nate Rogers is the Service Writer. They had emailed me what they could do for me involving a potential good will pricing basically at 50% of retail since my car had barely hit 100,000 and I had a Starmark Warranty that had expired. Well the 50% was a lie too. I will explain later.
The problem on my vehicle was a right control arm that needed to be replaced and was causing a sound under my
car. I said very well. Then the technician who I forgot his name said I needed engine motor mounts as well.
Come to find out this is an EASY money maker for the dealership after speaking with 3 other independent dealers that specialize in MB. They also said I needed a new CD changer(by the way they always put in a Refurbished one.
Just an FYI. I was lied to about this in Lynnwood, WA when it was originally replaced. I will get to this story at a later time.). They also said I would need to take the heads off and replace the gaskets.
So I take my car in to get fixed. The service writer Nate Rogers emails us and says they cant get the right strut out because the 2 bolts that connect the right strut to the right control arm are frozen and cant be
loosened. He says its going to be an extra $1,300))LOL I immediately call him up to discuss. He then proceeds to say that they have successfully put the left side control arm on.))LOL I said the car didnt need a left control
arm.))LOL He said please holdNate Rogers then gets back on the phone and says Im sorry Dion but we just assumed as most customers when they replace one side they replace the other. I can take it off for no charge if you like. This was a my first RED FLAG of dishonesty. I said please take it off and DO NOT do the engine motor mounts and I will be back to pick my car up immediately. He said I am sorry but the engine motor mounts have already been done.
I said ok I want my originally engine motor mounts. He said I am not sure I can. When I got there though they gave me the original engine motor mounts. I also made a few calls on my bill and noticed my bill to be too high for engine motor mounts. They were giving me 50% off based on 7.5 hours of labor for the motor mounts when in fact I called other shops and dealerships and they said they would have only charged me 3.5 hours. Sneaky, but I had just caught him in another LIE! The service ops manager called me immediately as I was driving home and said he would be willing to take $200 off my bill for a Perfect Survey. I said that was fair. However, it
didnt sit well in my stomach because I knew he had been caught in a lie and that he was buying a survey and buying me to not write this review or contact the BBB, AG, www.ripoffreport.com, yelp, www.dealerrater.com and
google etc and all the other review sites to tarnish their name and reputation.
I then took the engine motor mounts to MB independent and had them look at them. They and two others all said they didnt need to be replaced and this is one of the easiest and biggest money makers for the dealership. I said well yes and especially if they try and charge the customer for 7 hours of labor. Do your homework folks and call 3 dealerships and at least 2 independents and parts stores to make sure on everything before you get work done on your vehicle. Also check the review sites as well. Even if they have great reviews still be cautious and do your homework.
The ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS DID NOT need to be replaced. The service manager Kevin texted me and said he would gladly put in my original motor mounts and not charge me a dime and refund All my money. Thats when I decided I knew I had been RIPPED OFF!!! I said I dont ever want you touching my car again.
This is the THIRD time now that I have taken my car to a PENSKE dealership in the Phoenix Valley. All of them have attempted to rip me off. I have caught ALL three dealerships of putting in parts that did not need to be put in. I have just caught one of their dealerships to not be disclosed in putting in a wrong piece of GLASS for a windshield on two of our cars
I told the service manager Kevin Naylor that I want the original motor mounts to stay at NO charge for the LIEs
and for them to EAT a NEW strut and Control ARM on the house as a lesson to not CHEAT people and my $200 off on a REFURBISHED CD changer in which I had to do some research on this in which they are not put in NEW like they claim when you ask them. Oh by the way. I will be calling my Insurance company and confirming a part number for a piece of Glass for the windshield they put in as well to verify that is OEM glass in which they claim it was. After I do my research since I just caught Penske Rapid Repair Auto glass in a lie on two of my other cars it will not surprise me if I catch them in a lie on my S500 as well. If this is the case I want an OEM piece of glass
put in like the Insurance company authrorized.

Arabia Fats
this wiki
|"The Sun" card's Stand... He was a formidable opponent, but once you've figured out his trick, he's just another idiot.
—Jotaro Kujo about Arabia Fats
Arabia Fats (アラビア・ファッツ Arabia Fattsu?) is a minor antagonist appearing in Stardust Crusaders.
Arabia Fats is a short overweight man who has short spiky hair. He is seen wearing a T-shirt bearing a rising sun symbol much like the Imperial Japanese flag.
His real personality is unknown.
Stardust Crusaders
Arabia Fats had been following the Joestar group up into the desert in a car equipped with air-conditioner. He stayed camouflaged by using a mirror device attached to his car that reflected the sand's image in the desert, so the group couldn't notice him.
Suffering with the heat produced by Arabia's Stand, the group then suspected the sun itself to be a Stand. Believing it to be a Stand, Noriaki Kakyoin attacked it but received a counterattack from Sun, confirming the group's suspicion. Giving trouble to the Joestar group at first, Arabia Fats was discovered when the gang noticed that there were two of the same rock, with their shadows pointing at opposite directions, thus meaning one was being reflected. Jotaro Kujo used Star Platinum's precision to identify where exactly Arabia Fats was and instantly defeated him after throwing a rock to his face. Finding Arabia Fats unconscious, the group claimed that his Stand was rather childish and Fats an idiot for using such a trick, with Jotaro wanting to believe his intelligence was affected by the heat while Joseph lamented for not getting to know Arabia Fats's and Sun's names.
In Video Games
JoJo RPG (SFC)
This section requires expansion.
Heritage for the Future (PS1/DC/Arcade)
Arabia Fats posses a special mini-game, as the player takes control of Star Platinum's vision and needs to find his hideout and throw a rock on it before Arabia Fats hits the player with Sun's rock; the player needs to do this four times to deplete Arabia Fats's life bar. After the mini-game, Arabia Fats appears on a cutscene, knocked out in the sand as the group states that his Stand was rather childish.
- Arabia Fats only has one panel frame in the manga, being the character with the least on-page appearances of Part III (the second being Midler, with only two manga panels). Arabia Fats is also the character with the least dialogue, his only speech being his scream after being hit by Jotaro's rock. Arabia Fats is given extra dialogue in the PS1 adaption of the arcade game.

Women's Hockey Signs Brodt, Fitzgerald
The St. Cloud State Women's Hockey team is looking to get back in the top half of the WCHA in the near future, and the squad signed two players that they hope will continue to brighten their future. The Huskies announced Tuesday they had inked forward Hanna Brodt of Roseville and goaltender Katie Fitzgerald of Des Plaines, Illinois to National Letters of Intent.
Brodt is the daughter of former men's hockey player Vic Brodt who skated for the Huskies from 1986-90. She is the captain at Roseville High School and helped the team to a State Tournament championship in 2010 and has participated in USA Development Camps the last three years. Last season she tallied 12 goals and 22 assists for 34 points for Roseville.
Fitzgerald is a product of the Chicago Mission AAA Hockey Club. Last season she posted a goals against average of 0.83 and a save percentage of .935 while going 5-2-1 with four shutouts. Her team earned the silver medal at the U-16 USA Hockey National Championship.
Both Brodt and Fitzgerald are seniors in high school and expected to join the Huskies next season. The Women's Hockey team is currently 1-10-1 on the season and travels to Niagara this weekend in non-conference play.

Skill Level Intermediate
In this exercise we are going to take a collection of path outlines from Illustrator. We are going to copy them and paste them into Photoshop. We are going to make some pixel level modifications and save our work as a layer PSD file. Then we are going to place that PSD file with all of its transparency intact here in the Illustrator. I'm working inside a file called Unlikely dinosaur story.ai, found inside the 21_photoshop folder. And I don't know if you've read this text or not, but it's a story about how dinosaurs are going to wage this battle with teens from the future and these are them right there, flying through the sky.
Now they're not terribly realistically rendered which is fine, but I would like them to be a little soft and a little bit glowly as well. That's something I can do in Illustrator, but it's not handled as efficiently or as elegantly as it is inside of Photoshop. So I prefer to take the objects over to Photoshop, make my changes there since Photoshop does a brilliant job of handling blur and other pixel level of effects, and place the results back here in Illustrator. So I'm going to click on the path outline of one of these guys with a Black Arrow tool to select it and I'll go up to the Edit menu and I'll choose the Copy command or I could press Ctrl+C, Command +C on the Mac and then I will go up to the Object menu and I'll choose Hide and I'll choose Selection.
You can also pres Ctrl+3 or Command+3 if you want to. You could also turn off the objects inside the layers panel if you prefer. I just want to get them out of there. I don't want to delete them. I just want to hide them, so that we can replace them in just a moment. Now I am going to switchover to Photoshop and inside Photoshop I would like you to start things off by going to the Window menu and choosing the Info command. Inside the Info panel you will see there is this little X, Y item. Click on it and switch to Pixels. It's important that you're working in pixels almost all the time when you're working inside of Photoshop, because that gives you the most accurate feedback.
Anyway, assuming that you're working in pixels, go to the File menu and choose the New command or press Ctrl+N, Command +N on the Mac and you should see Preset set to Clipboard automatically, meaning that Photoshop is sensitive to the contents of the clipboard and is automatically creating a document big enough to accommodate that clipboard. Now it's possibly a Resolution value is set to 72 pixels per inch, in which case bump it up to 300 and you're also going to have to raise your Width and Height value and the values you see there onscreen are the ones I want you to use. So Width should be a 1052 pixels, Height should be 1413 pixels, Resolution 300 pixels per inch, Color mode RGB is just fine, after all these teens are just white at this point.
They are just kind of these white objects. So it doesn't matter what color mode we are in. Then in Background Contents you should set that to Transparent. That is important. We need transparency in the background if we are going to convey that transparency to Illustrator. The rest of the stuff doesn't matter that much. I am going to go ahead and call my file Future teens just so that I'm prepared when I go to save it. I will click OK and I end up with this checkerboard pattern right here. Now my checkerboard pattern may look a little different than yours. Don't worry about that. The next thing you're going to do is go to the Edit menu and choose the Paste command or press Ctrl+V, Command+V on a Mac.
You'll get this familiar dialog box, leave it set to Smart Object, click OK. And we now have the Smart Object layer as soon as you press the Enter key or the Return key on the Mac to accept the placement of the file. Now I want you to hide that Info panel by double-clicking to the right of the Info tab. We need to get rid of this layer 1 thing that's left over from creating the final in the first place. Just click on it, press the Backspace key or the Delete key of a Mac to get rid of it. Now go up to the Image menu, choose the Canvas Size command.
Here inside the Canvas Size dialog box what canvas size allows you to do though, is to essentially either crop or uncrop the image. In our case we are going to uncrop. We need some additional room up top and at the sides and so on. So we are going to add some empty room to the file by turning on the Relative check box. That's very important. Then I want you to enter a Width value of 100 pixels and a Height value of a 100 pixels as well. This center chiclet right there should be selected so that you're going to expand in all different directions.
That would be 50 pixels up, 50 pixels down, 50 pixels to left, 50 pixels to the right. Why 50 pixels? Because half of a hundred in each direction. Click OK and you get this effect here. Next I want to blur these guys just a little bit. We can zoom in on them if you want to so that you can see this amazing artistry that I applied to these guys. Go up to the Filter menu with this layer selected. So the Vector Smart Object layer needs to be active here in the layers panel. Go up to the Filter menu, choose Blur and choose Gaussian Blur.
Now that is an effect that's available inside of Illustrator. It doesn't even come with the preview. You can't even see what you're doing whereas here inside Photoshop, brilliant preview. You can see exactly what you're doing out here inside the Image window. You can also click on one of these guys in order to see him inside of the dialog box. A Radius of 2 pixels is what I want for this blur value. Click OK. Now let's give these guys a mysterious futuristic glow by going down here to the fx icon, clicking on it, choosing the Outer Glow command.
I've got my glow set up so that it's white and that's what I suggest for this effect too. So click on your little swatch icon there and go ahead and drag this little circle to the upper left hand corner. Now your field might be yellow, that's fine, it doesn't matter so long as you drag the circle up to the far upper left corner then you're going to white. Click OK. I want you to take the Opacity value down to 70% and then I am going to take the Size value up to 30 pixels like so, so that we have just this outstanding amount of blur and then I want you to go up to the File menu and choose the Save As command or you can choose Save if you like, either one is going to work and go ahead and point to the 21_photoshop folder as I've done and let's call this file Future teens.psd, the layers check box should be turned on.
You want the format to be the native PSD file format. Make sure that the ICC Profile check box is turned on as well and click the Save button. Now then because we have a transparent background as you can see here that transparency is going to be conveyed to Illustrator. Let's go back to Illustrator now and I'm once again working away inside this Unlikely dinosaur story file, the work in progress, with the teens turned off. I'm going to go up to the File menu and choose the Place command. There is Future teens.psd.
Click on the Place button, make sure by the way, Link is turned on, Template should be turned off. Click Place and there is your Teens right there with all transparency. Look at that! We can see right through them to the dinosaur. We need to move them over, like so. So I will drag one of the edges of this image to this location here, so that these sort of spectral figures are sort of floating in the sky and I don't know who's more terrified, them or the dinosaurs. Definitely, an epic battle. Thanks to the power of Illustrator and Photoshop working hand in hand.

... A WAKE UP CALL FOR THE REST OF US. IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES... EMERGENCY CREWS IN BUTLER COUNTY WILL SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE TO RESPOND TO A MOBILE HOME PARK THAT'S BEEN WIPED OUT BY A TWISTER. BUT THE 6 P-M TRAINING.. IS THE SECOND OF THE DAY... WL-WT'S ERIK ZARNITZ HAS ALREADY BEEN THROUGH ROUND ONE .. AND SHOWS US HOW CREWS ARE PREPARING. (Erik Zarnitz:Catastrophic damage all across the Edgewood Mobile Home Park, and the reason for it... Actually man made used to help train firefighters on what to do when a tornado strikes.) (We've had numerous reports of a tornado touchdown) THE DIRECT AFTERMATH OF A TORNADO IS DEVASTATION. (73 Command, we are getting numerous cell phone calls of people trapped) AND WHILE WE CAN'T CONTROL WHO GETS HIT, WE CAN CONTROL HOW BEST TO RESPOND. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT BUTLER COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENTS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ARE DOING. (Jeff Galloway: They were put in a pretty much real life situation with the damage to the trailers and the victims. They are not going to help everybody, they have to do the best good and the best that they can do for the largest area that's been affected.)

Gibson 35th Anniversary Black Beauty Demo
Here is a Gibson 3 pickup Les Paul Custom I'll be putting up for sale. It's a 35th Anniversary model and somewhat collectible but it plays and sounds great and even stays in tune so it would make a great stage guitar for someone. It's got some dings and wear, but is pretty clean for a 1989 guitar. The guitar is plugged straight into a Fender Super Sonic amp and there are no effects besides the built in reverb and gain/distortion. I am also using an Avatar 2x12 extension cabinet and all 3 speakers are Hellatone 30's. This video is shot on a Nikon Coolpix 3200 digital camera set on Video mode, so the quality is not that great...but you can still get a good idea of what this guitar can do. As for my playing, this is as usual for me just unrehearsed jamming.

21st Century Challenges:
Reexamining the Base of the Federal Government
GAO-05-352T: Published: Feb 16, 2005. Publicly Released: Feb 16, 2005.

This report stems from the recognition that the Congress faces a daunting challenge: the need to bring government and its programs in line with 21st century realities. This challenge has many related pieces: addressing the nation's large and growing long-term fiscal gap; deciding on the appropriate role and size of the federal government--and how to finance that government--and bringing the panoply of federal activities into line with today's world. The reexamination questions discussed in this report are drawn primarily from the work GAO has done for the Congress over the years. Many of these questions do not represent immediate crises, however many pose important longer-term threats to the country's fiscal and economic, and national security as well as the quality of life for our children and grandchildren.
GAO describes the forces at work, the challenges they present, and the 21st century questions they prompt, in each of 12 broad areas based in large measure on functional areas in the federal budget, but also including governmentwide issues and the revenue side of the budget. These areas include (1) long-term fiscal challenges; (2) policy frameworks, such as the aging population and increasing global interdependence; (3) changing security threats; and (4) governance challenges. The size of the fiscal challenge and the significance of the societal and economic changes worldwide means this kind of examination and the hard choices necessary to restore a sustainable fiscal path and modernize government may take a generation to address.

Krabi Information
Krabi Weather & Climate
Krabi's Current Weather and Climate Guide0
Krabi weather is the key to a successful holiday in this beautiful province of southern Thailand, where most of vacationers' activities occur outdoor. Whether you are planning an island-hopping trip of the many islands lying off the coast, or planning to visit some of the stunning hinterland attractions available, the weather in Krabi will make your day - or not, depending on the season and on the quirks of climate.
Krabi has a similar climate to Phuket, with average temperatures around 75°F to 89°F (24°C to 32°C) year round. The wettest months are September and October. The area does not suffer from marked weather swings and pretty much any time of year is good to visit, although the most favourable season to visit Krabi is from November to March.
High Season
The best time to visit Krabi is November to March when temperatures average 28C and cool breezes keep things comfortable.
Hot Season
The hottest time is April - May, with temperatures ranging from 80ºF to 95ºF (27ºC up to 36ºC). There are frequent short heavy thundery showers, offering welcome relief from the high temperatures and humidity.
The Thai New Year (Songkran) occurs on April 13th and everyone sprinkles (or throws) cool water on each other.
Locals enjoy June, July and August, since the weather is usually fine and favourite haunts remain uncrowded. The usual pattern is brief with heavy showers and plenty of sunshine between downpours. Everything is a little less expensive at this time of year, as well. Temperatures range between 70ºF and 90ºF (20ºC to 33ºC).
Wet Season
During September and early October we bring out our umbrellas. One consolation is that the beaches, outdoor restaurants and streets are relatively uncluttered by visitors and even at this time there are still long intervals of sunshine between the heavy showers. Anyway, plenty of low season activities, both water- and land-based, are still available in Krabi during this wettest part of the summer season.

Complaint Review: Ecolab Equipment Care

Corporate Advocacy Program™
While most of the other 30 or so dispatchers couldn't be nicer or more helpful as well as some of the supervisors, my bone to pick or major criticism of Ecolab Equipment Care based on my short experience there is they do not have a good training program for the new dispatchers. This lack of training caused me undue even brutal emotional distress when I actually started on the job dispatching to the Jackson, MS-New Orleans,LA market, the Memphis Market, and the Nashville Market.
Never have I tried so hard to do a good job before not just because I was being paid to do so, but because my Christian beliefs dictate that I do a good job as a service to humanity even if, generally speaking, I am not being paid fair wages for such, and after trying so hard ended up failing miserably. I won't mention the names of these dispatchers, but I was warned that Ecolab's lack of complete training for dispatchers sets the new ones up for failure. Right On!
In fairness to Ecolab because they were nice enough to hire me when I had no experience in this field and in this bad job market, I had several deaths in my family as I started this job making it hard for me to concentrate on the basic customer service training at first. But because Ecolab was paying me (through a local temp service) to train and I needed work even if totally grief-stricken, I forced myself to do as well as I could and gradually got better.
Also, I didn't know before starting this job that dispatching work is not really my vehicle, at least not Ecolab's style of such, and that I had little interest in spending my days servicing restaurant equipment. That said, I would have done a much better job had Ecolab trained me 100% before actually starting the job instead of only roughly 60%. That lack of 25% to 40% training made me falter around appearing as a bumbling idiot on the job which I am not; while I may not be Einstein I have been an honor roll student and have almost 250 college credits to my name.
It would be hard to explain here the details of this lack of training but one major point is they don't provide new dispatchers with a training manual. I begged for a training manual, and the response from management was that I must be crazy. Management just wants you to learn it all on the job. And while most if not all jobs of any level require on the job learning, this dispatcher job should not have required most of the training or learning on the job. This, say, 30% lack of training left some important dots un-connected causing me to make big mistakes that lost some restaurant customers and caused hardship on the technicians and district mangers.
Printing a dozen or so dispatcher training manuals a year is not much of an expense, and the result would be better and more quickly trained dispatchers that in turn would mean a more immediate payback on training expenses. But no one can get that point across to Ecolab Management. Hence, when I first started on the job dispatching, the technicians complained that I didn't know what I was doing, and I got all the blame for that. In other words Ecolab Equipment CAre management didn't want to evaluate their training program to see how it could be improved to created better new dispatchers but rather put all the blame on me.
While the emotional damage done to me through this lack of training may not seem like such a big thing compared to stories of employees and customers being ripped-off huge sums of money or suffering horrible working conditions, I can't help but report the ridiculousness of not having a good training program complete with a training manual for new dispatchers.
Furthers, like many corporations, Ecolab in general is cutting costs which is not in itself such a bad thing. Businesses have a moral obligation to generate healthy profits but those healthy profits must come ethically and honestly, of course. But when corporations cut back on expenses such that the employees and customers suffer while a handful of top executives are making mega-bucks, then cutting costs is not a good thing.
In terms Ecolab Equipment CAre, they have cut back on technicians in some areas forcing them to cram many runs (service repair jobs) into a 40 hour week and the scheduling has to be stressful. I was beginning to hear negative feedback from technicians that EEC's new policies was very hard on them and their families, and Ecolab was inching toward slave labor, but I was not their long enough to verify all of this. I will say that EEC was starting to lose customers to service vendors who hired enough technicians and trained their dispatchers to get service out very quickly.
In summary, my criticism of Ecolab is that it did not train me properly causing me to fall into almost failure on the job which in turn has caused severe damage to my self-esteem, and I probably will not get a good reference from this job even though, because I don't have a care at present, was walking several miles to and from work through severely cold weather, piles of snow and ice and that even at night. I am still trying to recover emotionally from this Ecolab job, and part of the issue is not just with management, but some, though not all of the service technicians I dealt with were little snots in that they had harsh comments to my face. If they only new how hard I was trying.

My Site is http://www.chrisfawkes.net
I've installed the jscollpane plugin which is great for those like me that don't know a lot about code and you can see it on the comments under the post.
But looking at the jscrollpane website i see that it is possible to effect an entire page, meaning that the browser scroll bar can also fit your theme as has been done on this demo page here http://jscrollpane.kelvinluck.com/fullpage_scroll.html
Would anyone have any idea how i could do that using the plugin and what i would have to do?
Thanks in advance.

Arrests have been made in Lauderdale County that authorities say may lead to even more arrests for the crime of burglary.
The Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department said Dominique Tubbs, Antonio Brown, and Charles Martez Brock are charged in a recent burglary.
Officials say more people might be arrested soon, and that more charges could be forthcoming.
"We believe that these individuals have been part of an ongoing group that has broken into numerous residences in the Valley Road area," said Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun. "Investigators are still working on it, still recovering property, still documenting their case. This is an instance where we have had help from the community, giving us information that led to these arrests."
Each of the suspects is currently charged with one count of grand larceny and one count of burglary.

"A business trip to Shanghai" Shanghai by Callavetta
Shanghai Travel Guide: 3,200 reviews and 8,339 photos
After two additional trips to Shanghai, and two new bionic hips, I think it's time to add updates for this interesting city. In less than one year I have noticed huge changes in Shanghai. When we visited the first time the city was getting ready for the World Expo, fast and furiously. There was construction going on 24/7. My second trip, in February 2010, found the City ready to open it's doors to the world. Perhaps it was the winter which made everything appear so different. In September the streets, the intersections, the shopping areas, everywhere was teaming with people. But in February it was cold and rainy and everything appeared much quieter and down right calm.
Next visit April 2010. People are out and about again, but things just seem a lot more western than they did in September. The Expo was in full swing
At night Shanghai is lit up like a Las Vegas showgirl! Neon is the medium and it seems like the gaudier the better. Along the river skyscrapers are lightshows, each competing with the next to draw the eye. Restaurants are huge and giant jumping neon fish compete with stars and neon fireworks.
From my Travel Journal October 2009
I got a wheelchair at the airport since my hip makes it hard for me to walk long distances and torture to stand in line. I felt so embarrassed but my colleagues were thrilled because the wheel chair allowed us to skip all the lines and go right through immigration control and the health screen. The line was really long and Chinese don't really get the whole queing thing. It saved us at least an hour. We were met by my Shanghai HR Director who had a van for us and zipped us to our hotel, the Parkyard Hotel. It doesn't have a website so I can't show you but it's quite fantastic. It's got a luxurious lobby and a gym, spa, pool, gardens, a very nice restaurant, a wonderful buffet breakfast that has everything you could ever want; made to order omlets, all kinds of breads, cheeses, fruits, bacon, eggs, hash browns, etc., then a whole variety of Asian foods. The people who work in the hotel are incredibly kind and helpful. And no tipping! I can't walk out into the lobby before someone runs over to take my computer bag for me. My room is great. I have a suite with a separate sitting room and desk area, a large bathroom with a huge tub and a walk in shower, robe, slipper, all the extra lotions etc., free wi-fi, and a really comfy king bed in the bedroom. This is my first free time to relax in my room without having to hurry and go to sleep.
Right after check in we walked to a restaurant nearby and had a huge feast of something like 20 different dishes. I can't even begin to tell you what we had. Christine took pictures of everything and is going to share them with me. Some I skipped; the jelly fish for one. Some were delicious. We were so tired I don't even remember much of it. There were about 20 of us around a huge table in a private room.
The drive back to Shanghai took forever with unbelievable traffic and crazy driving. There are bikes and motorbikes and people pulling wagons and people pushing wagons and people pushing people and you name it. They cut in and out of traffic with crazy abandon. Merges take your breath away. We were in giggles in the bus. The bus took us to the Bund where we had another wild wheelchair escapade to a boat where we had a buffet dinner and took a sail up and down the river. Shanghai at night rivals Las Vegas. It's a neon extravaganza. This place is NOT handicap friendly. The wheelchair rides left me feeling more beat up than ever because they were downright bone shaking.
The other thing is public bathrooms.... the hole in the floor variety. Even at the office they have 2 toilets and one hole in the floor. Hello. Not for me. I will hold it all day. :-O
The ride back from the office today was the craziest drive so far. These people are the most random drivers I've ever seen. More honking than ever and crazy passing, merging, and lights... they are mere a hint of a suggestion. People on bikes with people sidesaddle on the back - nursing a baby! I wish I had gotten a picture of that! The Chinese as a whole seem like an overwhelming mass of craziness. But every single one I've dealt with one on one has been amazing and lovely. I've never seen such accomodating people. My team here is really special, as are the three ladies from Malaysia. The guy from Texas and the guy from Australia are a bit different, but the Asian ladies are great. Sheila and Christine went out shopping tonight with a couple of them for translaters and negotiators. I sent along money and a shopping list. Susan has a massage appointment. I have a dinner appointment with the HR Director from Malaysia. She wanted one on one time.
The trip to ZhouZhuang was fun. The girls brought a wheelchair for me which again horrified me but boy was I glad. We were there for about 6 hours and there was a lot of walking. Everyone took turns pushing me and the "cobbles" were not wheelchair friendly. A couple times I thought I was going to be flung into the canals! And there were lots of bridges that I had to get out and walk over, crookedy stairs with no rails. But the funny thing was everyone was weirdly solicitous and perfect strangers were grabbing my arms and hoisting me along! I could have managed on my own but nobody would stop helping me. At one point a big group of students all came by and had to have their pictures taken with me individually. It was the weirdest thing! Susan and Sheila had the same thing happen so we think it was because we were Caucasian. There really weren't other Caucasians there, even though the place was packed with people. We stopped at a place for lunch, a second floor restaurant. Me: "I'm ok, I can do it." Strangers: grabbing me and hauling me up the stairs. Another feast of unrecognizable and delicious foods. Things just kept coming out and out and out; a big fish that had been turned inside out, and deep fried so it looked almost like a fish awesome blossom. It was yummy. A pot with a whole chicken in it. A pork thing that was sold everywhere in the town and was really good. Some slimey green things I didn't try.
The dinner last night was surreal. I truly don't understand why I could be treated as such a VIP and it was almost embarrassing. I know it's part of this culture and it was very much like I have read in CultureShock China but seriously I was treated like Obama or Queen Elizabeth. Everyone was introduced to me and I had to taste everything first. It was quite an experience. I'm not one who likes to have the attention focused on me so it was not particularly comfortable! And there was a step into the room so I had the six people grabbing me to help me up the step! Hey, maybe I should get them to prop me up while I pee in the hole!
I have to say this time is so intense and full of experiences, sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and people... I wish I could slow down and take it in better. When I think of the contrast to my relaxing two weeks in Italy! But this is a work trip, not a vacation.
- Pros:An amazing, diverse, busy, modern, growing, changing city
- Cons:Smog
- In a nutshell:China is a place everyone should see at least once in thier life

What is shoulder bursitis?
A bursa is a tiny fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. The plural of bursa is bursae. There are 160 bursae in the body. The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees.
Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa. Injury or inflammation of a bursa around the shoulder joint causes shoulder bursitis.
What causes shoulder bursitis?
A bursa can become inflamed from injury, infection (rare in the shoulder), or an underlying rheumatic condition. Examples include infection of the bursa in front of the knee from a knee scraping on asphalt (septic prepatellar bursitis), inflammation of the elbow bursa from gout crystals (gouty olecranon bursitis), or injury as subtle as lifting a bag of groceries into the car, which could inflame the shoulder bursa and lead to shoulder bursitis.
What are risk factors for shoulder bursitis?
Injury or strain to the shoulder joint causes shoulder bursitis. Activities that are common risk factors for shoulder bursitis include throwing a ball, lifting objects overhead, and trauma from a fall onto the shoulder. Continue Reading
