When [Tribe] broke up in '98, I said, "Someone needs to do a documentary on A Tribe Called Quest." So when they did a show in 2006, they hadn't performed in a while, and it was just a great show. I was backstage, and there are all these actors backstage. Everybody's waiting for them to come out, and I said it at that moment: "I want to do a documentary on A Tribe Called Quest." I said it to Leonardo DiCaprio, and he was like, "You should do it."
TR: What were some of the major challenges you came up against when you were making your documentary?
MR: The editing was the biggest artistic challenge, the scariest part. We shot so much footage, and when you accumulate it all, it's like, "All right, now you're a director, big shot." That was frightening because there's so many different ways to tell the story, and what I was imagining would be the story, some of that was in there and wound up in the final cut.
But all this other interpersonal stuff that I think separates the movie from being just a "behind the scenes" or "how they did it" kind of doc, for me, was gold. But then I was like, how do you interweave everything? How do you tell the whole story? For the hard-core fans, who you can have shorthand with, but then also my mom, who just knows "Can I Kick It?" I had to try to integrate all that stuff, because the one thing about Tribe music, the word that was used a lot by different people I interviewed, was "inclusiveness."
TR: Do you think any of Q-Tip's concerns about the finished documentary come from the limited portion on J Dilla (famed producer and friend of Q-Tip who died in 2006) in the final cut?
MR: It wasn't the Dilla stuff. I don't think anybody, including myself, thought the movie was going to be as revealing and as emotional as it was. And I think [Q-Tip's] hesitation was based on that. I know he loves the movie. And this Sundance bump in the road was disappointing, but I love [the group].
Going forward, I think we're all going to be on the same page. The only thing that was disappointing was they weren't all here [at Sundance]. But there's going to be the next film festival and the next premiere, and I can pretty much guarantee they'll be here, be at the next one.
You know, [Q-Tip is] a perfectionist … so imagine what I'm dealing with. It was kind of like, "Yo! This is the f—in' movie. I'm directing the movie about you guys, but I'm directing it." And that's really what it got down to. Nobody is going to be totally comfortable with a documentary about themselves.
TR: It's like The Black Book, with Jay-Z and Dream Hampton. She worked for years on his autobiography, only for him to see it and decide not to release it.
MR: Exactly! But it's the same f—in' thing, you know? The Rolling Stones pulled out of [a backstage documentary] that the photographer Robert Frank did. If someone was making a documentary about me, I'd feel the same way Q-Tip felt and the way all the guys felt. He's the one that's gotten the [press], but they were all kind of freaked out and concerned and protective. I think they were like, "People are going to think this. Or people are going to see that."
At the end of the day — and this is something I'm proud of about the movie — you walk away saying, "I want to go get The Low End Theory and listen to that sh–."

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT CENTRAL DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS Urbana Division
July 14, 2011
JAMES F. OSTERBUR, PLAINTIFF,v.FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
E-FILED Friday, 15 July, 2011 08:38:12 AM Clerk, U.S. District Court, ILCD
In January 2011, Plaintiff James F. Osterbur filed an Amended Complaint (#13), naming the following Defendants: the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Attorney General, the Solicitor General U.S.A., and the U.S. Attorney District Court.
Also in January 2011, the United States of America filed a Motion to Dismiss the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Any and All Other Federal Government Defendants as Party Defendants (#14). Plaintiff filed Plaintiff Response, To Motion to Dismiss Amended Complaint (#21). After reviewing the parties' pleadings and memoranda, this Court recommends, pursuant to its authority under 28 U.S.C § 636(b)(1)(B), that Defendant's Motion to Dismiss the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Any and All Other Federal Government Defendants as Party Defendants (#14) be GRANTED.
I. Background
Plaintiff, a pro se litigant, brings a complaint indicating the Court has committed an unspecified constitutional violation. He seeks to have a joint trial with all people in the nation to establish their first amendment rights, and to seek redress of unspecified grievances.
Defendant brings this motion to dismiss on the following bases: (1) failure to state a valid cause of action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6); (2) failure to state a concise valid claim for relief in violation of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2); (3) failure toestablish a valid waiver of sovereign immunity; and (4) lack of subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1). Defendant notes that this case is the sixth case where the United States has asked this Court to dismiss a complaint filed by this Plaintiff.*fn1
II. Standard
The purpose of a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim is to test the sufficiency of the complaint, not to decide the merits of the case. Gibson v. City of Chi., 910 F.2d 1510, 1520 (7th Cir. 1990). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2) requires only "a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." FED. R.CIV. P. 8(a)(2). Thecomplaint must give fair notice of what the claim is and the grounds upon which it rests.E.E.O.C. v. Concentra Health Servs., Inc., 496 F.3d 773, 776-77 (7th Cir. 2007). However, fair notice is not enough by itself; in addition, the allegations must show that it is plausible, rather than merely speculative, that the plaintiff is entitled to relief. Tamayo v. Blagojevich, 526 F.3d 1074, 1083 (7th Cir. 2008).
When considering a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, the Court is limited to the allegations contained in the pleadings. Venture Assocs. Corp. v. Zenith Data Sys. Corp., 987 F.2d 429, 431 (7th Cir. 1993). The Court must treat all well-pleaded allegations in the complaint as true, and draw all reasonable inferences in the plaintiff's favor. McMillan v. Collection Prof'ls, Inc., 455 F.3d 754, 758 (7th Cir. 2006); see Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 556 (requiring plausible grounds for inferences if those inferences are to sustain a complaint). In considering the plaintiff's factual allegations, the Court should not accept as adequate abstract recitations of the elements of a cause of action or conclusory legal statements. Brooks v. Ross, 578 F.3d 574, 581 (7th Cir. 2009). The application of the notice pleading standard is a context-specific task, in which the height of the pleading requirement is relative to circumstances. Cooney v. Rossiter, 583 F.3d 967, 971 (7th Cir. 2009) (citing Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1950 (2009)). Furthermore, district courts are required to liberally construe complaints filed by pro se litigants. Marshall v. Knight, 445 F.3d 965, 969 (7th Cir. 2006) (citing Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520 (1972)).
III. Discussion
A plaintiff need only provide a "short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." FED. R.CIV. P. 8(a). However, suchstatements must be supported by plausible factual allegations. Tamayo, 526 F.3d at 1083. When making determinations as to plausibility, a court may rely on judicial experience and common sense. Cooney, 583 F.3d at 971. In the case of pro se litigants, courts are required to liberally construe their claims. Marshall, 445 F.3d at 969. A court must also be mindful, however, that it should not allow defendants to be subjected to "paranoid pro se litigation . . . alleging . . . a vast, encompassing conspiracy" unless plaintiff meets a "high standard of plausibility." Cooney, 583 F.3d at 971; see also Walton v. Walker, 364 F.App'x. 256, 258 (7th Cir. 2010) (unpublished). Furthermore, a district court is entitled to draw upon its familiarity with a plaintiff's prior meritless litigation to conclude that a complaint consists only of naked assertions and delusional scenarios. Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 328 (1989); Walton, 364 F.App'x. at 258.
In Plaintiff's response to Defendant's motion to dismiss, Plaintiff attempts to clarify his claim against the FBI. Plaintiff indicates that the FBI failed to investigate constitutional violations committed by the government:
If you think that is "too vague"/then be very specific: INSTEAD OF LIARS, who perjure themselves in a blatant effort to deny due process to me, this state called IL, and this nation. Protect us, as is your duty to investigate and defend "we the people". YOU ARE MERELY THE EMPLOYEE/by no means, and no rights, and no merit; is our employee allowed to call him or herself, "this USA". The limitations and conditions are: You are not a ruler/you are not the owner/you are not immune from bad behavior and its consequences, or the laws of this state or nation in any other way. RATHER YOU ARE SWORN TO DEFEND AND OBEY, being servants to the law, rather than traitors in open rebellion against us all. Prove me wrong.
From these statements, and others like it, the Court cannot construe Plaintiff's claims. Plaintiff does not make any specific factual allegations, and makes unspecified claims of constitutional violations. Furthermore, to the extent Plaintiff identifies broad issues such as general failure of United States employees to uphold the Constitution, these allegations address issues beyond the power of the federal courts to solve. See Foster v. United States, No. 10-356, 2010 WL 3394070, at *1 (W.D. Wis. Aug. 27, 2010). The Court concludes that a complaint such as this does not constitute a short and plain statement indicating the Plaintiff is entitled to relief. Even with the liberal construction that this court must employ in considering claims of a pro se litigant, the Court concludes that plaintiff has failed to state a claim for which relief may be granted.
IV. Summary
For the reasons stated above, this Court recommends that Defendant's Motion to Dismiss the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Any and All Other Federal Government Defendants as Party Defendants (#14) be GRANTED.
The parties are advised that any objection to this recommendation must be filed in writing with the clerk within 14 days after being served with a copy of this Report and Recommendation. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Failure to object will constitute a waiver of objections on appeal. Video Views, Inc. v. Studio 21, Ltd., 797 F.2d 538, 539 (7th Cir. 1986).

Ex-Citi junk bond star launches investment firm
A former head of European high-yield bond syndicate at Citigroup in London, and one-time Financial News Rising Star, has launched a new UK and Europe-focused private investment firm.
Andrew Watkins-Ball, 33, who left Citigroup in the summer of 2007, founded MWB Capital last year with partner Julian McIntrye, the former founder and chief executive of Gateway Communications Group, an Africa-focused business and retail communications firm.
MWB, which has its office in London, targets companies across industry sectors with an enterprise value of between £30m (€34.3m) and £300m, and can make investments worth between £3m and £50m, according to its website.
It is prepared to take private equity investments for minority or controlling stakes, arrange private debt, management buy-ins and buy-outs, as well as turnarounds, restructurings, and asset-based financing.
The new firm is the second venture Watkins-Ball, a South African who was a Rising Star in 2007, has been involved with since leaving Citigroup. He first helped launch Capitau, a South Africa-based independent debt origination, distribution and advisory firm.
It is not known when he left Capitau.
Watkins-Ball was not immediately available for comment.
Aside of Watkins-Ball and McIntyre, who is a former vice-president at Deutsche Bank, MWB Capital has two investment managers – Venkat Siva and Steve Etherton.
Siva is a former banker at Goldman Sachs, where he worked in the UK mergers and acquisitions team, while Etherton previously worked at OC&C Strategy Consultants.

Fortuny Fabric Browser HD takes the Fortuny sample book to a whole new level. With full screen fabric samples and beautiful interface, browsing the legendary Fortuny collection is easier than ever. Of course, like in the iPhone version, you can request samples from the comfort of your iPad!
Every one of these enchanting patterns was designed in the 1900s by painter and sculptor, architect and inventor Mariano Fortuny. Known as the Magician of Venice, Fortuny devised techniques for printing and coloring fabrics, founding a factory to create them on the Venetian island of Giudecca.
A testament to his highly original and enterprising spirit, every Fortuny fabric is today still produced in this same factory, on the same machines, using the same secret process and techniques that Mariano Fortuny developed nearly a century ago. No two fabric runs are ever alike and each one ages with beauty. These are the finest cottons in the world—enduring and practical, yet instilled with the depth and lushness of silk or velvet. True to the house's artisanal legacy, these inspired textiles are rich in history, golden-age influence, and painterly tradition.
It is with the greatest care and respect that we carry on this incredible legacy. Infused with our passion for Mariano Fortuny and his vision, we are dedicated to furthering the impeccable tradition of beauty, quality, and service long ago made synonymous with the Fortuny name.

Google Algorithm Updates- History and Naming Process
We live Google...
We all live by the rules of Google, so naturally we all live by Google's algorithm updates that can easily lift us up, or make us disappear off of the Search Engines. We hear about these updates before they occur, some we fear, others we barely notice as their names fade off into the background. These names, like hurricanes, when strong enough perish the unexpected, Google's Updates are often feared, experienced, adjusted to and dealt with are sequenced in alphabetical order, but who names Google's Algorithm Updates?
When did it all begin?
Google is all about SEO (Duh...they are a search engine), and if you were one of the original SEO musketeers, you may recall the way that Google's Updates once were back in 2002. For everyone else that isn't an original SEO Pioneer, let me provide a brief history of the mania that Google Updates caused in the early stages of Google and the SEO game. These days, Google preforms some 500+ updates a year and most of these updates are not even noticed by internet users. In 2002, updates occurred about 10 times per year, and each update sent the Search Engine results into frenzy for about 3 or 4 days, known as the 'Dance'. The first 'Dance', was named "Boston", by Webmaster World members, and is the first documented Google Algorithm Update.
A little Extra PEP, to the Search Engine Step...

The Combat Series of Updates
Onward to 2003 and you will find a series of updates aimed at combating the non-legit backlinks, and hidden links. These combat updates were named: Cassandra, Dominic, Esmeralda and Fritz. Each of these names were also selected by Webmaster World members, Cassandra followed Boston, and was simply chosen because they liked the name, Dominic was the name of a Pizza Parlor that was frequented by WW members and 2003's Esmeralda and Fritz marked the end of the "Dance" updates. Thereafter, Google began to update daily.
After the "Dance", their was "Everflux"
2003 continued with daily updates, with the most noticeable being Florida, which cracked down on shady SEO practices.
In 2005, there was Bourbon followed by Big Daddy, then Buffy in 2008. Bourbon is considered the first update to attack content scrapers and rogue link wheels (these were URL's {domains} that had the sole purpose of interlinking and pointing back to your main website). Big Daddy was the hard hitting update against link buyers, and traders. Big Daddy was more than just an update though, it was an actual new data center that changed the way that crawlers reviewed and indexed sites. If a site had a suspicious link, it was no longer being indexed from this point on. Buffy was named in tribute to the creator of Google Webmaster Central, Vanessa Fox, whom left Google to pursue other ventures. (I am not sure why they named the update Buffy rather than Fox…suppose it was an inside joke of some sort?).
A jolt in the right direction
2009 brought Vince, also known as the Trust Change Update, which favored Brands on the results pages. In 2010 there was "Caffeine" that generated 50% fresher results than previous versions, and was said to give the search engine a jolt to better, faster results, hence the title, "Caffeine", bringing the Search Engine closer to true and quality results.
Content Farms worst enemy of 2011
We all remember 2011's Panda/Farmer Update that had Hubpages being pegged as a content farm and each Huber a fresh new subdomain to combat the update. The Panda update was intended to keep the junk out of site and the good stuff up front, and we all seemed to survive, so I guess the update was not such a horrible one after all.
Where do Google's Algorithm Updates get their names?
So where does Google's method for naming come from? Well, much like everything else that revolved around Google, we are not entirely sure. Perhaps there is no real method; maybe they just follow the rules of branding and naming an awesome new product? They add a little personality with something we already know and can remember and give it a new meaning…and there you go, a Google Update Name?

This is fascinating! I've just been one of those people going along and using the Internet but not following the changes Google made. Then I signed up for HP and read the grumbling about Panda. Thanks for this summary of the algorithms across the years! I also like the information about what they were trying to tweak.
Voted up, useful and interesting!
Hey Holly, this is a very interesting hub. Thank you for providing it. I didn't know any of it, so I learned something new. Much appreciated. :) Voted up! :)
You know will all the hype of Panda I almost forgot the HP impact...thanks for the reminder...Hopefully this time around will be kinder )
Wonder what the next update will be named after, or better still will it be numbered panda this and panda that, well whatever it is all I believe is good and well written contents like this one will always survive.
Thanks for this little trip down memory lane as I've learned alot historical data about the big G. Thanks as I look forward to reading more like this.

I noticed your profile pix changed and I am thinking you are in a car and took the picture with your right hand ) I could be wrong but just sharing an observation )
Wow! I had so much to learn about Google Algorithms. Very informative and well written hub. I know just the people to share this with. Love your writing format!
Another good hub, did not know some of those names... but I do know Panda and Penguin. They must be moving down the alphabet.

Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Silvis Boiler Repair FAQ
Is Water Heater Repair the Same as Boiler Repair in Silvis, IL?
The main difference between hot water heater and boiler repair in Silvis, IL is that the former usually has a tank unit directly attached. This can become problematic when it's affixed to the heating source, as corrosion quickly becomes a factor. Also boiler repair in Silvis, IL allows for the unit to retain tremendous efficiency, seeing as it is not carrying the water throughout the vents of the building. In short, boiler repair in Silvis, IL is just more cost effective than repairing a hot water heater. And seeing as boilers can have a lifespan of thirty years or more, it's simply the financially responsible choice.
Are Noisy Pipes Enough to Merit Boiler Repair in Silvis, IL?
The short answer is, sometimes. Usually loud or banging pipes can be affixed to the wall, but if the problem persists, you're eventually going to need boiler repair in Silvis, IL. Even piping bolted to the wall can begin to leak after enough loud noise, and that can eventually lead to mold issues.

Chicken Breeds: Australorp
The Australorp is a breed of chicken developed in Australia. It is frequently described in comparison to the Orpingtons, because the Australorp is based on Black Orpington breed stock, which was imported into Australia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The Black Orpington was crossed with Rhode Island Reds and a few other breeds (including the Leghorn, Langshan, and Minorca) to create a "utility bird."
The Australorp is a black bird whose feathers show flashes of metallic teal, green, and purple in the sun. They have a single comb, and are very weather-hardy.
Being descended from Orpingtons, the Australorp has retained the Orpington's calm and friendly nature. The Australorp is slightly smaller than the Orpington (although still large in comparison to other chicken breeds). Roosters weigh in at about 8.5 pounds, and hens at 6.5 pounds.
Australorp chickens were bred to be useful, and they have made good on that promise. The Australorp was meant as a dual purpose meat and egg bird, and had to produce well on the rough Australian range. It was originally called the "Black Utility Orpington," until Australian breeders decided to write up their own breed standard and give the breed an Australian prefix.
Australorp hens lay brown eggs, and plenty of them. An Australorp chicken currently holds the world's record for egg laying, having laid 364 eggs in 365 days! In fact, the Australorp as a breed came to the world's attention in the early 1920s, when a team of Australorps swept the existing egg laying record in a trial. Australorp chickens are an excellent choice for the backyard flock. They are record breaking egg producers, and are very docile and calm. Their easy-going nature makes them a good candidate for families with small children.
Other chicken breeds:
- Buff Orpington
- Wyandotte
- Australorp
- Old English Game Birds
- Ameraucana, Araucana, and Easter Egger
- Sex Link, Black Star, and Red Star

Thank you for this informative Hub.
http://roostershamblin.wordpress.com/ I have been raising 50 breeds of chickens for 40 years. please take a few minutes to read my blog
Great article...Do you know the optimum time to butcher a Australorp?
Thanks Erika for getting back to me so soon. I'm writing for an internet site about all the breeds and found your article accurate and helpful. Keep writing. Make lots of money.
I love my Australorps! They are very hardy, and are excellent foragers when free-ranged. They cover a lot of ground, and can provide a lot of their food themselves.
@thefinalword: I usually butcher my chickens just when they start to crow (we keep or sell females, sometimes keep 1 or 2 males for breeding, and eat the surplus males). For Australorps, this is around 5-6 months old. I did one last week that hatched at the start of this year, and it was excellent.
There's an old saying that chickens follow the "rule of 21" - they hatch in 21 days, they are best butchered at 21 weeks, and layers should be replaced at 21 months. As a rough guide, it's not far wrong.
I am Mary Norum writing from Papua New Guinea. I am very interested in geting some of your black australope chickens, do you ship to Papua New Guinea? or any of your outlets in Papua New Guinea. Please reply ASAP. cheers!
I am writing from Papua New Guinea and am also interested in buying Australorp chickens.

Feeling stuck in your workout routine? Periodization is a training method that can help you overcome the plateau and boredom from doing the same workout repeatedly. For example, if you follow the same lifting routine for too long, your body will eventually adapt to the stresses of training, and you'll see little or no improvement in performance. Following a workout routine for "too long" depends on factors such as your age, training program, duration, intensity, and recovery. In order to see improvement, researchers suggest adding a periodization plan to your workout. Periodization works by changing different variables of a fitness routine (such as the amount of weight, number of repetitions or sets, or intensity) every 1–6 weeks. Changing components of your workout forces your body to constantly try to overcome the new stresses and encourages continual growth and increased performance.
Creating a periodization plan also reduces your risk of overtraining. Consult a certified trainer to design a program that can help you overcome any workout plateaus, or check out the Navy Operational Fitness and Fueling System (NOFFS) strength and endurance training series.
Children and teens face a lot of challenges these days, but exercise can help, even in such seemingly unrelated situations as bullying, a form of peer aggression. Bullying recently has come to the forefront as a public health concern. While the best solution is to prevent it, there are ways to cope and manage the effects of being bullied (such as depression, sadness, and decreased self-worth). Exercise can serve as a buffer against effects of being bullied. Bullied teens who regularly exercise at least 60 minutes a day, 4 days a week, are less likely to experience sadness or hopelessness. That's important when you also consider that these feelings sometimes lead to suicidal thoughts or attempts among teens. Encouraging your child to participate in some kind of physical activity can help him or her conquer social obstacles while building good habits for a healthy adulthood. By also making physical activity a family matter, you can lead by example. Learn more about how to prevent bullying and consult a healthcare professional and a school counselor if you're concerned that your child might be a victim of bullying.
Listen up, ladies! Women are more likely to engage in physical activity if they do it as part of a group and if they have friends who are active. Whether you're looking for a group exercise class, a spotter for strength training, or a partner to join you on your run, social support from friends or family increases your chances of sticking to an exercise plan.
Women also enjoy activities more when they're done with others instead of alone. Feeling better about a workout leads to more minutes of exercise per week too. Surround yourself with others who want to stay fit and have similar goals. You can decide whether you want to join an organized exercise group or keep it small and informal by asking one of your friends to participate in an exercise routine. Either way, get motivated!

Training on the treadmill and "overground" running are not the same. If you've experienced treadmill running and find yourself more tired afterwards than you would on an outdoor run, you're not alone. It seems athletes actually run slower on a treadmill than their normal pace outside, yet they perceive treadmill running as being more exhausting. In other words, even though it feels more difficult, treadmill running is usually less intense and less physically challenging than running outdoors.
If you're training for an outdoor race, ideally you should run most of your training miles outside. However, running indoors can be helpful if you're recovering from an injury since running on a treadmill is easier on your joints than running outside on concrete or even grass. When you want or need to run indoors on a treadmill, set the incline at 1–2% to increase your exertion level to more closely replicate your outdoor runs.
If you decide to run outside during a cold spell, take a look at our article with tips for staying safe in cold weather and the many resources on cold environments where you can find more ways to keep warm and hydrated even in frigid weather. Remember: Whether you stay in or venture out, any exercise is better than none!
There's no hard-and-fast rule when it comes to how to breathe when you're running, but there are a couple points to consider. During light to moderate exercise, people tend to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Breathing through your nose helps minimize the number of allergens that get into your airway, warm the air before it gets to your lungs (which can be helpful in cold temperatures), and increase the concentration of oxygen in your blood. However, as exercise intensity increases, most people switch to breathing through the mouth because they can inhale more air per breath with less resistance.
Running experts suggest practicing diaphragmatic breathing ("belly breathing") rather than shallower chest breathing (where you raise your chest and shoulders when you inhale). In the former, your diaphragm (an important muscle in the breathing process) is pushed downward when you inhale, creating space in your chest cavity. You should feel your belly expand as you inhale. It promotes greater expansion of your rib cage and lungs, giving you a fuller, deeper breath. It takes a little practice to learn how to breathe like this while you're running, but if you lie on your back and breathe, practice yoga, or even play a wind instrument, you'll know what it feels and looks like.
Finally, remember not to slouch when you run. Lift your torso and chest and lean forward slightly. Form also can affect how you breathe.
Music can have a huge effect on your performance and mood during exercise. Without realizing it, most people push themselves harder or move faster during exercise when listening to fast-tempo music, which increases heart rate as well as speed, endurance, and in some cases the rate of perceived exertion. Exercisers also feel an improved sense of well-being when working out to music.
So why is it you prefer certain songs when you're exercising? One explanation suggests that a part of your brain tries to match the movement of your body to the beat of the music. In fact, scientists have found that when you listen to music with about 125–140 beats per minute, both your heartbeat and your movements synchronize to work at the most energy-efficient, optimal level for exercise. In essence, the music works with your brain to coordinate your bodily functions and optimize your workout.
The best workout songs seem to share certain characteristics:
- 125–140 beats per minute during exercise, but slower for warm-ups, cool-downs, and some endurance-type exercises
- A motivational or upbeat message
- Familiar tunes or a preferred style of music
- A tempo that matches the rhythm of your exercise
Ask your buddies about their workout playlists too. They might have something totally different to offer—a new beat to stay fit with. So turn on, tune in, and train!
For more tips on how to optimize your workout, explore HPRC's Physical Fitness domain.
The post-workout recovery phase is just as important as the workout itself. Refueling with the right nutrients can help your body heal damaged muscles, build more muscle, and replace nutrients lost during exercise to prepare you for your next workout or mission. A combination of protein and carbs in a snack is the key for recovery. It's also important to drink enough fluids for rehydration. The best time to refuel is within 45 minutes after your workout, but if you plan to have a meal within 2 hours, you can skip the snack. Otherwise, you might be eating too many calories, which would spoil all your hard work. For more guidelines and snack ideas, please visit HPRC's Peak Performance: Refueling.
The benefits of exercise in the postpartum period (six to eight weeks after delivery) include decreased physical, mental, and general fatigue, in addition to improved fitness and motivation. It may even reduce depression, as long as the exercise relieves stress rather than provokes it.
Some women who exercise during their pregnancy and immediately resume exercise after giving (vaginal) birth aren't at risk for post-partum complications (such as excessive or prolonged bleeding, uterine inversion, or infection). However, most women don't meet the recommendations for exercise during pregnancy, so when you do resume exercise, you should do so gradually.
You may be concerned that exercise could decrease your milk supply; however, exercising women who drink enough fluid (stay hydrated) and eat enough to meet their caloric needs continue to produce enough breast milk. Composition of breast milk remains the same with moderate exercise intensity, but vigorous exercise can cause lactic acid to appear in the milk, which could affect how well your baby accepts your milk. Consider nursing before participating in vigorous exercise.
Returning to physical activity after giving birth depends on the individual. Be sure to discuss your exercise habits and plans with your doctor before resuming your regular workout routine. Visit this web page from The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to learn more about exercise in the postpartum period. Stay healthy for you and your baby!
Getting the right nutrients at the right time can give you the edge you need when it comes to performance. Are you drinking the right kind of beverage to keep you hydrated? Do you know what to eat after a workout to optimize your recovery? Find answers to these questions and more in HPRC's FAQS: Fueling for Performance.
And while you're there, be sure to check out our other Nutrition FAQs for more answers to common questions we've received about nutrition.
Too much sitting during the day is linked to multiple illnesses, including heart disease, diabetes, and even some cancers. And sitting has become an all-too-common activity in the modern workplace. One remedy to the problem is the use of standing desks. However, even standing isn't enough to keep you at your healthiest. Another important weapon against sitting disease is movement. By adding just 2 minutes of walking every hour, you can increase blood flow to your heart and other muscles. These short bursts of movement "wake the body up" and keep important systems working. If it helps, set a timer on your phone or computer to remind you to walk around at least once every hour.

Interrupting a White Racial Narrative: Ruling Gives Communities of Color More Opportunities to Tell Our Stories
Joseph Torres
July 14, 2016
White media owners have always controlled our nation's media system — putting forth a racial narrative that criminalizes people of color and supports the goals of white supremacy. This narrative has been present since the first colonial newspapers were published — and it continues in the images we see on our TVs and computer screens today.

Chez Philippe - Peabody Hotel Memphis Ratings and Reviews

I've dined at Chez Philippe a number of times, always enjoyed the service, ambiance and cuisine. While a four diamond, the ambiance, cuisine and service is five diamond. I had the four tasting menu, with wine. I'm rather fond of the old formal style of dining, which is rare nowadays. I would recommend the venue for foodies, as a romantic interlude and for small groups.

Birthday dinner for my friend's wife. We did the 4 course option and everything was delicious, timed perfectly, beautifully presented. Ryan was our server and was attentive, professional and always timely.
Great experience and meal.

We've been to Chez Philippe a few times this year, this was the first time since they changed the menu however. As usual they never disappoint. Wine .. Awesome. Service ... Excellent. Meal ... Overall Splendid however, the Entrée steaks were just slightly overcooked. Still an A+ experience.

I'd read good things about Adrian in the reviews, and was pleased to find that he really is an outstanding server. The other gentlemen who helped him were all very well trained, too. They were thorough and in tune with guests.
The food was interesting. I really like the surprise amuse bouche sent with compliments from the chef - a very tasty shrimp tartlet with unexpected and delightful layers of yum. Tuna steak and crab cake were some of the best I've had anywhere. Delicious!
My opinion on their opportunities for growth include menu and décor. I came hungry and left hungry because some of the food was quite weird (a couple of gelatinous items left me wondering about the chef's goals) and what was good came in itsy bitsy tiny portions. No wine and still a $300 tab for two? I expected to be wowed.
The decor is completely outdated with 1980's hunter green on the walls and dingle balls on tafetta drapes dredging up memories of "Different Strokes" or "Silver Spoons" episodes. As well, the cream tablecloth was tattered and the love seats that were obviously very nice once should be re-upholstered asap. Tomorrow maybe?
Still, we both tasted some things that we loved and because of that will Ning effort from the kitchen and the service, I would definitely go back and try it again. Only next time, no hot wing sticking up out of the bread pudding, please.

We choose to dine there for our 50th anniversary. Perfect choice! It was lovely and the food
was divine. When they found out it was our anniversary and the dessert came out the chef
had written Happy Anniversary in chocolate on our dessert plate. Now that's going the
extra mile! We will always remember our meal there.

A formula dining experience. Not a true /authentic interaction with the chef and the menu. Disappointing dishes for self described foodies.
Poor wine suggestions for self directed pairings. Poor serving timing with the courses/ wine.
Nice and quiet surroundings for a intimate celebration.
A book with a beautiful cover but nothing inside
Outstanding Decor. But that was it. Service was very poor. We were ignored most of the night both by server and Matre D. We noticed our server was more attentive to all tables on the top level rather thanus on the 2nd level.
Had to pour my own champagne (after asking server)
Had to order dessert at same time as the entree.
Bread was not served until after the appetizer. (Usually we like to have bread while sipping on Champagne)
Time between appetizer and main entree came much too fast
Never asked if we wanted coffee and just presented the bill.
Ordered a dish called "Halibut and Lobster". halibut was ok but lobster was just a garnish. You thought the dish would have contained a portion of Lobster.
Many dishes contained mushrooms or truffle oil which one of us was allergic to. They could not substitute any of the steak dishes with out those ingredients. Hard to imagine a restaurant of that caliber that could not prepare a special order.
We were so disgusted that I did not take the time to ask for a manager to complain about what happened but that was my fault. Incidentally when we left the restaurant we were never even asked how everything was. I think they knew we were disgusted.
We had a meal here over the Music Festival. The whole experience was superb. We'd been to a Michelin 1* earlier in the week and Chez Philippe was at least as good.
I think the waiters name was Adrian. He was superb. Attentive without being intrusive. Polite but casual too.
Also, there was no rush between courses which we Europeans like.
Fine Hotel Dining
As a couple we ordered the Chef's Table and another 3 course dinner. The presentations were excellent although we needed to send back a couple of the courses as they were not as hot as they should have been. We were permitted to make some substitutions on the fixed menus which was quite nice. We had the wine pairing with the Chef's Table and that was outstanding. The service was top notch. There were ample portions given for each of the courses.
Had high hope for a good Fancy French dinner on Valentines Day but was sorely disappointed. It was a prix fix menu at $95 and $125 with wine pairing. The foods were mediocre at best. The service was good. The restaurant was quite empty given it was Valentines Day. Overal it was very underwhelming. Would not eat here again.
Valentine's Day dinner
I cannot say enough about this place. We ate at this restaurant the night we were to be engaged, and came back for Valentine's day a year later. We were not disappointed. The service was great, the food was amazing, the atmosphere was out of this world. Thank you all!! Can't wait to come back!!!
The seating area we were in was right next to an area that was extremely noisy from the serving staff, the coat rack and storage area for extra chairs. The service was very good until the final stages of the evening when the server seemed to "disappear" and we had to wait for a while for our check. The restaurant was not busy at this time (6:45PM). Disappointing Valentine's Day experience!
Just Ducky!
We went on Valentine's weekend. We were surprised to find that there was a fixed menu as the website had not been updated in some time and still carried the fall menu. When we arrived the winter menu options were posted in the lobby yet when getting to our table we found that menu was not available and only a set Valentine's meal was offered. While this seemed poorly set up the menu itself was quite delicious. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but some of the nuance you would expect from a restaurant at this price point (wine pairings arriving before the food it was paired with etc.) was not present. We loved the butter shaped as a duck to play on the Peabody tradition. Overall it was an excellent meal in a lovely restaurant but for the cost there are better locations.
Go for the experience, not the food.
The service and the ambiance are exactly what one would expect - absolutely outstanding! Great attention is paid to every aspect of your experience. Likewise, a great deal of attention is paid to the presentation of your dishes. The food itself, I'm afraid to say, was unremarkable. Fresh and delicious, but not anything mind blowing. Without getting into specifics, I had a fish dish and my date had a steak dish. Both were excellent, but not in any way better than we could get in several other finer establishments in town. Bottom line - If you're looking for service and atmosphere - this is a winner and worth every cent. If you're looking for food that's like no other in Memphis - this isn't the place for it.
Overrated !
They made a fuss about my reservation for my husband's60th birthday as if they would have to squeeze us in.! I even had to give my credit card to secure the reservation.
It was a morgue! Dead, no customers ! No atmosphere!
I asked for a glass of wine, my husband a cocktail, we were basically your only customer and yet you got the cocktail wrong!
One waiter, I had the wine pairing prix fix, and the somalier turned out to be a piece of paper with a list of three choices !!! Pathetic.
Horribly limited, and very ordinary high end meal.
Not worth the trip.
We also had High Tea the next day with friends. Once again we were the only customers and yet I managed to get Luke warm tea in a cracked cup. Very sad! Had to ask for fresh tea and a fresh cup.
Cranberry scones, really? We had to beg for extra creme , the sandwiches were typical average stuffed croissants and toasts.
We will not be back!
Dinner for two Thursday 28 Jan 2016
We were greeted at the front by an older gentleman, who told us our table was ready and the waiter would show us to our table.
We were shown to our table, in a very quiet restaurant, with only 4 other diners there.
Our waiter (I believe his name was Adrian?) was very courteous and relatively quick to serve us, being the only staff member on that night, apart from the gentleman out front.
We decided to go for the 3 course option with the matching wines. Very good value for money.
Menu itself was quite big, and I had the crab cake, which was delicious, and my friend had the French onion soup which was yummy too.
For mains we had the pheasant and the beef and sweet potato. Both were delicious, and beautifully presented.
Dessert was the soufflé and the trio of gelato. Great presentation of the gelato, the soufflé was a little over done, but that is the only fault which could be said about the food.
Service was perhaps a little impersonal, but our staff member was lovely and courteous, and pretty on the ball for water top ups and getting wine for the next course.
The meals were well spaced out, and we didn't feel rushed.
Would have been nice to have a little more atmosphere in the restaurant though, the music was a little quiet and there wasn't a lot of ambience in there. All in all an enjoyable experience.
We have dined at CP several times over the years. We reserved several days ahead of Saturday, Dec 12th, online. We were never told that there was to be only a special, prix fixe menu for the night (for Sinatra's birthday). However, after we arrived, the fixed menu sounded good, so we weren't worried. However, the first course was an over-dressed crude salad with arugula and artichokes that had come out of a can, with no preparation or thoughtfulness to the presentation. The 2nd dish, risotto, was overcooked. The main dish (we had the beef) was delicious and well prepared, although a bit cool. The dessert was fried dough with cinnamon, which probably would have been delicious had it been served hot or even warm, but it was cold. It took 10-15 minutes before anyone came to our table to even ask about water or drinks, and we did not get wine until about 30 minutes in. Service was inattentive. The meal lasted for 3 hours---which is too long. There appeared to be only 2 servers for a very full dining room. Very disappointing for CP.
Everyone has to eat here at least once
My 17yo daughter and I traveled to Memphis for the Thanksgiving holiday week. I made this reservation for Thanksgiving Day so we would have a "special" place to have dinner. It was awesome. Not only were the wait staff excellent, the food was delish and superb! The scenery inside the restaurant keeps you awestruck. Briana was our server. She was topnotch...attentive but not bothersome. Excellent job. I would definitely recommend this to others. While there was a kid dining with his parents at the same time we were there, I wouldn't recommend this is kid friendly. Only because the other customers are there to enjoy a peaceful and quiet dining experience. But, I do have to say the kid did behave wonderfully for the amount of hours his parents lounged there : ).
How serene.........
I felt I had entered another world of dining. The servers were outstanding as was the presentation of all the foods. Being a real dessert a holic I was a bit disappointed in the keylime pie and the souffle. However, everything else was wonderful. Should have snapped photos to show friends.
IT WAS PERFECT BEGINNING TO END! From the stunning room itself, to the soft classical music played softly in the background, to the excellent service provided by my server GIA....it could not have been better. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Yes. It was just what I needed after five days of too noisy, too many people, too frenetic, just too MEMPHIS! Saved Phillippe for last night before boarding train to Nola and I am so happy I did. It was a a fine dining experience. The onion soup was what I always hoped to get and never did until now. Gently caramelized onions ( and I think maybe leeks and shallots) in a golden broth and a heavenly fluffy cheese topping with absolutely no rubberiness. I will dream of that soup! Lamb chops perfectly prepared and presented. Cheese plate with after dinner tea was lovely. Nothing was fussy, over sauced, overcompilcated or pretensious. Lovely, lovely, lovely!
