A Valuable Lesson to Learn from Clients: Walking into Unfamiliar Territory
Pete McCall
on Friday, July 1, 2011
When I was training and teaching group fitness fulltime I was a big education junkie and would always be reading the latest industry literature to learn strategies and techniques for helping clients to achieve goals or design fun and challenging classes. Rather than spending down time in the gym where it might be perceived that I was slacking off during work (even though I was only paid while training clients) it made more sense to me to would use a local Starbucks as my office to catch up on wh

Your Client's Got Personality…Reading It Accurately?

It's been said that the most important element of communication is to hear what isn't being spoken. When it comes to the all important ingredient of building trust (visceral) and credibility (intellectual) during the rapport building phase of creating a healthy client-trainer alliance, you would do well to rely on Jimi Hendrix' adage, "Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens."

Reports: Apple Designing, Testing New Smart Watch

The tech giant is already in talks with manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. for the new device
It's common for people to carry more than one portable device these days. When we're not glued to our smartphones, we typically have a laptop or tablet nearby for heavier workloads or just the convenience of a bigger screen. But Apple is looking to add another must-have device to our growing collection.
Apple is currently testing designs for a smart watch, which would act like a
small-scale iPhone
. According to
The New York Times
The Wall Street Journal
, Apple could be using bendable glass (such as that made by Corning) to create a watch that curves with the human body.
The tech giant is already in talks with manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. for the new device. Hon Hai has been working on new technologies for wearable devices, such as more efficient displays and chips at that size.
However, Apple has released no design or feature details yet. The device is still in early testing, but it is expected to be very different from current wearable devices. It could have a range of apps available on-the-go as well as features like GPS.
Many popular wearable devices today, such as Jawbone and Nike's FuelBand, are used to keep an eye on physical activity. These devices can be linked to a smartphone to help people keep track of their fitness goals.
Smart watches attempted to make an introduction long before now, but failed. For instance, Microsoft tried out a smart watch concept called SPOT (smart personal objects technology) in 2003, but it didn't go anywhere.
WIMM, a Silicon-Valley based tech company, introduced its
WIMM Wearable Platform
back in 2011. But again, the idea just didn't seem to take off.
Considering Apple's success in the mobile realm, it'd be no surprise that the Cupertino giant could lead the way to the next evolutionary step in mobile devices: smart technology right on your wrist.

EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM
Meeting the ever-increasing demands on image quality that digital photography brings, the redesigned EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is the latest update to the acclaimed L-Series of EF optics, re-establishing a new standard for superb optics, high-end durable construction and performance in professional zoom lenses. A standard focal length zoom lens, it features a large aperture throughout its focal length. Featuring the latest advances in optical lens design, it utilizes 1 Super UD lens element and 2 UD lens elements that help minimize chromatic aberration in the periphery at wide-angle as well as reduced color blurring around the edges of the subject. In addition, 2 types of aspherical lenses are combined to help reduce spherical aberration over the entire image area as well as through the full zoom range. Optimized lens coatings also help ensure exceptional color balance while minimizing ghosting. The lens is also equipped with a circular 9-blade diaphragm for beautiful, soft backgrounds. A ring-type USM and high-speed CPU with optimized AF algorithms enable silent and fast autofocusing. Built for the rigors of professional use as well as to meet the increased number of shots available with digital photography, it's constructed with improved dust sealing and water resistance while fluorine coatings on the front and rear lens surfaces help reduce soiling, smears and fingerprints. A zoom lock lever locks the zoom position at the wide end for safe transporting while attached to an EOS DSLR camera over the shoulder.

Ya moleman the feeding was the issue I had in the back of my mind when I think about a 45 Colt, rimmed cases would be a bitch to get to feed right I'd think. Getting them outa the mag and getting them into the chamber reliabily might be a hard thing to do. But man, what a potent caliber for an AR that would be if one could get it running right!!! I'm going to do more reserch and see if I might be able to do one up, we'll see what happens.
Ammo's not an issue, 3 years ago I got 2 cases from a estate sale @ $20 per case!!!!! SCORE!!!!! It was slid under a table barely visible behind a bunch of other stuff and when I spotted it and asked the lady about it ,she said 20each(that was per case!!) I almost dropped my wallet getting it out so fast!!!!! $40 bucks for 2K of factory 45LC!!! OH YA!!!!! Nope, I didn't even try to dicker!!! Just grabed it quick,,, VERY QUICK,, and put it in the car before anyone saw me!!
Un fortunatly I missed a couple early Winchesters and a couple Colt revolvers she had sold earlier,,,,,, DAMN!!! I later found out one of the revolvers was a Real 1800's Colt single action in pretty reasionable shape, the other a modern copy. One of the Winchesters was an original 1893 full octogon 44 that looked like it just came out of the factory yesterday, a real beatuy for sure. The other was a later winchester, nothing special but still a nice 20's vintage gun. One of my aquaintences beat me to all of those, DAMN Again!!!! He gave 250 for the colt and 300 for the older Winchester, and don't know what he gave for the later Winchester,,, DOWWWWWWW!!!!! He musta been so excited finding them, he missed seeing the ammo under the table!! I probibly would have too.
The Lucky Bugger!!! I was like ,,, literally <10 minites to late, and I had waved to him going down the road, just before I found the sale.

Don't fall prey to these delegation dangers at your veterinary clinic
Whether you're running a multinational corporation, a family-owned restaurant or a veterinary practice, appropriate delegation is one of the foundations of any successful business. No single individual can or should be doing every task, and it certainly doesn't work to have everyone giving orders and assigning projects to everyone else. Rather, there needs to be a chain of command that gives employees reasonable discretion and a limited degree of autonomy.
Of course, finding the right balance is tricky. A failure to appropriately delegate—or, on the other hand, a tendency to micromanage—can lead to serious inefficiencies and employee resentment. In veterinary hospitals, screwy approaches to employee task monitoring happen all the time. And the legal and economic implications are huge. As discovered by business leaders in the epic delegation debacle known as Enron, the higher you are on the organizational chart, the more oversight duty you have and the bigger the consequences should you foul up your managerial responsibilities.
Consider these areas where too much delegation—abdication of responsibility, really—can lead to problems in practice.Collusion
One equine veterinarian with a collapsing marriage plus one unattached bookkeeper who finds him attractive can equal some novel accounting practices. Here's how it goes down.
The doctor ostensibly uses his animal hospital's corporate credit card to purchase fuel for his truck, footwear, overalls, oil changes, paper towels and practice-related retail items. But after he begins dating the person in charge of monitoring the credit card expenses, she overlooks the sudden doubling of the gas bill as the doctor fills up his own car on a routine basis. Clothing purchases go up too. It's not just overalls anymore but trousers, designer shirts and underwear—pretty much anything the doctor might look good in when he and the bookkeeper go out for a night on the town.
I've seen plenty of instances where these types of subtle shenanigans have gone on for decades. Two individuals who are independently trustworthy join forces to become a powerful negative influence on the veterinary practice's bottom line when they're given unmonitored control over their own domains.
Power tripping
This type of example is well-known in our profession, especially when the power grabber is the practice owner's spouse, significant other, sibling or child. One day the family member comes into the practice to work and before anyone can say, "Holy nepotism!" he or she is ruling the roost. This individual consolidates and maximizes his or her personal authority, making unapproved expenditure decisions, arbitrarily or capriciously raising some pay rates, and unfairly stalling raises for others.
Sometimes these power-hungry staffers—who may be favored employees rather than relatives—even insist on unprofessional or illegal conduct in order to save money and make themselves seem like more efficient managers. I've run across practices where powerful personnel have ordered veterinarians to use off-label or outdated medications. I've seen numerous instances where office managers or bookkeepers have refused to provide personal revenue figures to associates who ask about the calculation of their production pay.
And often the rest of the staff is afraid to say or do anything. In many clinics, employees who are nervous about these abuses can't even obtain an audience with the practice owner because the power person acts as a gatekeeper, effectively insulating the owner from hearing about important management problems. The hospital owner or owning partners may never even get word of perpetual problems in budgeting, staffing—even surgical or case management improprieties—that could be daily occurrences.

Hollier's Cajun Kitchen is located at 1709 Ruth St. in Sulphur. (Michael Cooper)
Last Modified: Friday, February 01, 2013 2:16 PM
By Johnathan Manning / American Press
Wednesdays are something akin to a carnivorous holiday in Sulphur as meat-eaters make a pilgrimage to Hollier's Cajun Kitchen for "Big Meat Wednesday."
The buffet is overflowing with pork chops, barbecue chicken, sausage, ribs, rice dressing and baked beans.
With a packed house every Wednesday, it's as much a place to hobnob as it is to feast.
While "Big Meat Wednesday" may be Hollier's signature day, there's much more to the restaurant.
Because of the variety of food they serve on the buffet, I often don't even bother to look at the menu.
The buffet is $9.95 on weeknights and $18.95 on weekend evenings when, like many area Cajun buffets, Hollier's rolls out the seafood.
Hollier's has a large main dining room and a separate dining room. It's not uncommon to find both full to capacity — particularly if Sulphur Parks and Recreation is hosting a tournament. The restaurant also serves as a meat processing center.
The restaurant survived a fire a few years back and came back stronger than ever.
I'm particularly fond of Hollier's different takes on rice and gravy, usually served with beef or pork.
Although they're not fricassee, they have a fricassee taste to them, which reminds me of dinners at my Grandma Manning's Big Lake home. Fricassee was her specialty.
Hollier's bills itself as a cajun kitchen and its menu reflects that, with everything from fried alligator and frog legs to the restaurant staple of a seafood platter.
The weekend seafood buffet includes fish, fried shrimp, etouffee, fried oysters and fried frog legs.
I recently visited Hollier's on a weeknight with my friends Steve and Annette. We've been many times and tried many different menu items, but on this night we all opted for the buffet.
The buffet menu was: fried catfish, shrimp étouffée, steak and gravy, jambalaya, field peas and green beans.
It was, of course, delicious.
When not eating from the buffet, Annette often orders the fried fish and shrimp combo.
I stick to the buffet, unless it's cold and a bowl of gumbo is in order.
Hollier's also offers a short-order menu section, which offers several versions of hamburgers — jalapeño, crawfish, shrimp and catfish.
Meals range from $3.75 for a hamburger to the weekend buffet.
The most expensive menu items are the steak and shrimp dinner and the Gerry's special, which is an 8-ounce ribeye topped with crawfish étouffée. Both cost $16.50.
Most meals at Hollier's also come with a self-serve salad bar, which offers your usual selection of salad toppings, as well as cole slaw, pea salad and potato salad.
If you're looking for healthier options, my mom often orders the grilled chicken breast with a sweet potato, which she described as "delicious."

With your logic, my 4 month old son is one year old. Why wait until a full year goes by, I'll just give him credit for the entire year. The 10's just started ahole. You cannot say a team sucked or did good for this decade because it just started! Let me ask you a question. If the 49ers started in 1949 and they sucked, is it fair to say the 49ers sucked for the 40s? If you think so then you are an idiot.
I think you're confusing played FOR eight decades and played IN eight decades. Yes, the 49ers played IN eight decades, but they didn't play for eight decades. This year is not complete. That's all. Why am I even arguing this with you?

Hexagon is the most efficient shape for the bees' living and storing of food. It also provides maximum strength.
A time lapse camera could solve all the guess work.
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
If is true about the Y shape at the bottom of the cell....and it is... the bees started the cell in a hex shape....not round and then pushed together...unless they start with a hex...then make it round...then push it together...think they are lot smarter than that.
The y shape is the bottom of the other side of the comb, between cells. It simply reflects the tessellation pattern, just through the other side and staggered so that from the cell you are looking it fits a corresponding hollow created by the other side. If you were to transpose both sides in one view, the cells wouldn't line up together, they would be offset by half both longitudinal and latitudinal. I'm really wishing I had some animation skills because I can see it in my head fine but have a hell of a time explaining it.
Another way to think of tessellation is picture holding a huge number of drinking straws in one fist. In between the straws the hexagonal shape will take place, but not within the straws, which remain round. Bees are really just filling in the space between the cells, not creating hexagons.
Or simply look at dry pollen pellets from cells in the comb and you will see how round they are, not hexagonal.
Mark Berninghausen
Yes Mark.
I don't know if you can magnify this photo but I can and the cells that were used for brood are round but the cell was first made hexagon shape like the ones next to the brood used for honey storage. If the bees use the cells for brood they thicken the walls and fill in the apex's but it had to start out hexagon shape or there would be air voids between adjacent cells.
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
There is structurally no difference between brood cells and honey cells. If there were different cells in a beehive bees wouldn't use them interchangebly, would they?
Mark Berninghausen
this definition does not explain how a circle is transformed into a hex shape. It just defines any shaped polygon that completely covers a plane...without spaces inbetween. If the Y pattern is formed at the bottom of the cell....the bees started the cell with sides.
The wiki uses comb as a natural example of tessellation.
I think of it like this: bees are creating a space for holding brood, pollen etc. the space they are making can be considered the positive space, the area they are intentionally making. The spaces around those spaces is the negative space, not in the sence that it is useless, but that that it is the area between the intentional spaces, which are round.
I think I'd like to get some fresh comb today a loupe and look hard into a cell being built. If what you say about them starting with a hexagon and them turning into a round space then hexagonal walls should be visible in the unfinished cells.
Franklin County Beekeepers Association MA.
Ehh! They are Italians they only have six legs. That means they can only count to six for those that are Italian.
Well , I'm sitting here with a peice of empty comb in front of me , in fact , I just took a close up of it to share.
I can clearly see the flat sides from top to bottom , so it is definitely hexagonal , not "round but appearing hexagonal" as some suggest.
It started out hexagonal at the bottom , and ended up hexagonal at the top.
And I have no hexagonal bees.
Maybe nobody told my bees they are doing it wrong.
There you go, issue closed!!
Regards, Barry
I have heard so many explanations for this over many many years I cannot remember all of them. One thing that is always consistent its that it is an efficient use of material to gain strength and minimize loss of storage space. Man does not copy it for water or sewer pipes because we are not filling water and sewer pipes with something and storing it stacked up on shelves. Water pipes have there pour pose and need to withstand stresses they are subjected to. a round pipe is more suited to that. such as not crushing due to compaction of soil over them as heavy equipment drives over. Not bursting at 60 P.S.I which is what a typical home water pressure is. Honey comb is not subjected to just weight from the side or even pressure from inside as much as it is subjected to pressure from every side. It also needs to withstand the force of gravity on the contents it contains as well as the contents of every cell around it. This si a subject of energy transferance. It is interesting to see how the hex works in regard to this. a circle stacked on a circle for example is transferring all the pressure of it's weight on a very then point on any circle under it. A circle that is set between two circles below it is transferring its weight to two small strips one to each circle below it. But a hex is actually transferring it's weight to two other cells but across a broad surface on each. This means much thinner walls can support the same weight. IT also has another interest transferance effect in that the weight of combs above are not on the cell directly below. but that pressure is actually sread aut across the comb at an angle These things we know. but how the bee comes to knowing it or using it, I have heard many many reasons. it is a result of them trying to make a circle and having to find some answer for the empty spaces. I have heard it is the result of them laying out the footprint of the next cell with their front legs. that shortest distance from foot to foot is a straight line. But my favorite is that it is their punishment for having ticked off some god or another. that is the one I am sticking with. Like the spider is the result of a maiden more fair than Athena forever cursed to weave the finest of thread.

[quote user="heavyhitter"]Florida State is really not playing well at all. They're still on top and haven't allowed a TD, but something is wrong w/ Ponder. Not sure if it's his shoulder or what, but he is playing like garbage. I'm surprised the score is only 7-6. Boston College should be up by at least a TD or two.
Ponder played awful. I know you like FSU but I have never been on the bandwagon that he is a first round pick

Don't have a picture to put up of my grafted cells because I was on my way into work when I decided to pop in and look to see how many of my grafts took. I grafted 48 cells from 3 different colonies on Saturday afternoon. Today when I looked in to see how many cells had been accepted 39 of the 48 cells had been drawn out. About seven of the cells must've had larva a bit older because they were already capped and the cells were kind of small but the rest of them are still in the process of being drawn out and look like they're going to make some healthy fat cells. I used the JZ-BZ smoked colored cell cups so it was easy to see the white royal jelly against the smoke colored background and the cells are FULL of royal jelly.
Beginners Luck.
I used a method described to me by Michael Palmer to set up my cell builder colony. The grafting tool I used was a master grafting tool from MannLake.

Pueblo inmates keep close quarters
PUEBLO, Colo. - The Pueblo County Jail has far exceeded its capacity. More than 600 inmates are jailed there, but the jail was designed for 509 inmates.
Darlene Alcala, bureau chief of the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office, says she began to see more inmates being booked in January. The jail is housing about 100 more inmates now than it was at this time last year.
"It was a big increase in a fast amount of time," Alcala said.
Alcala says from January to now, there's been a surge of inmates at the jail, but she doesn't know why. Alcala says these inmates are being booked for everything from robberies and drug charges to domestic violence situations and traffic sentences.
The last time the jail underwent an expansion was in 2006 to accommodate another 320 inmates. But Alcala says the answer now is not to continue expanding.
"We need to make sure we are incarcerating the most dangerous of those criminals out there," said Sal Pace, Pueblo County commissioner.
It costs $72 to house an inmate every day. Alcala says the jail houses on average 20 inmates a day for petty offenses, like not paying fines for traffic tickets.
"Perhaps using this jail for fees and fines is not the best use of this space," Pace said.
The jail is jointly used by the city and county. The city says it's working to keep some low-risk offenders from being locked up.
"We are trying our best to minimize the number of inmates that we send to the jail," said Sam Azad, Pueblo city manager.
Alcala says when the jail is overcrowded it makes for an uncomfortable situation for employees because they're outnumbered by inmates and have limited space to walk around in during their rounds.

Museums in Denver
Denver's most popular museum is undoubtedly the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, not surprisingly since Denverites take such pride in their pristine mile-high, Rocky Mountain metropolis. With an IMAX theater and interactive exhibits, the Denver museum is a hit with families and visitors. Paying homage to Denver's rail history (Denver's scenic Rio Grande railway that blasted through the Rocky Mountains instead of going around), Denver's Forney Museum of Transportation is a unique Denver museum devoted to everything that travels on track. Home to the massive Big Boy, Denver's rail museum is a must for transportation buffs. A cosmopolitan city with a Western heart, Denver's Art Museum houses an impressive collection of Western American art and significant collections of world, Native American and textile art.

Corvette Fever's sister publication, Hot Rod , had a party on October 7-8, and we were invited. Wed just installed a hot LT5 in a ZR-1 and thought wed tote it up to the dragstrip in Commerce, Georgia, to participate in the festivities and run the car a few times to see what this new engine combination could do.
While the weather during the two-day event could be considered spectacular, the rain on the drive up to the event was more indicative of what was in store for our ZR-1. In short, the engine was ready but the computer went south. We made it only as far as the staging lanes when the car went into limp-home mode.
ZR-1 troubles aside, prime examples of Corvettes from every era ranging from Stock to Pro Stock were in attendance. Several enthusiasts commented that this years event was much bigger than last years and, as the word spreads, we expect to have even more Corvettes there next year.
It isnt often we attend a show that includes other marques, but we enjoyed some great cars that our sister magazines have featured, and it was certainly out of the ordinary to see the editors from so many of our other titles all at the same show. If you missed this years event, it will come around again. Plans are already under way, with a tentative date of September 22-23, 2001. Call (323) 782-2830 for details.

Some professional hockey teams award free pizza to fans in attendance if their team scores a certain number of goals in a game (i.e., 6). The pizza goal is the goal which sends the fans home with pizza.
Heatley and Corvo came out of the penalty box, had a breakaway, and Heatley scored the pizza goal, winning the Ottawa fans free pizza.

If you're not familiar with a BlogOff... I'm going to offer a quote describing it from one of my favorite bloggers and one that I follow regularly, Mr. Paul Anater at kitchenandresidentialdesign.com :
"Every two weeks, the blogosphere comes alive with something called a Blog Off. A Blog Off is an event where bloggers of every stripe weigh in on the same topic on the same day. The topic for this round of the Blog Off is "What's your favorite color?"
Thanks Paul. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Reading several of this week's Blog Off entries, I got thinkin'. What IS my favorite color? For years, it was obviously and beyond a doubt, green. Any shade, any hue, anything in the green category. Green surrounded me in my house, my clothing and nearly every facet of my life FOR YEARS. Green is enveloping, cozy, comfortable. Especially the muted brown-greens that I gravitate towards remind me of my favorite time in Minnesota: early Autumn when the grass is drying out, the air is getting crisp and the leaves are just starting to change colors. That's probably why you will find so many of these greens in the laNeva color line (Lichen, Mist Crackle and Oregano).
Recently I've felt a shift. Slowly and subtly, I am moving towards yellow. I even spent this past weekend painting my daughter's bedroom a beautiful shade of lemony yellow that is sunny and happy and perfect. Not that green is forgotten, not at all. Green will surely have a stronghold on my wardrobe for a long time. The grass and leaves and moss that inhabit in my happy place are now complimented with early evening sunshine, the last warmth of summer and the leaves turning golden before they are caught up in a warm autumn breeze.
(color palettes via http://design-seeds.com)
So that is my first, intended-to-be-unofficial-but-now-made-official Blog Off entry. Paul, don't worry, I'll work on my own version of your perfectly succinct BlogOff description for next time. I'd better get started now :)

I have seen a video of Don TFBM and listened to the podcast he did where he talks about overcrowding a hive you wish to produce queens from by limiting them to one box and feeding them. I also listened to Michael Bush talk about it in one of his presentations. Is this a good method for producing queens on a small scale basis?
I gather that they would be quality queens based on that the bees have decided from the start which larvae to make queens and have fed the them as such.
Does anyone use this method and can offer tips or advice?
If you cut out the queen cells and put them in mating nucs, should you leave one queen cell in the original colony and remove the original queen?
What about the intention to swarm, they have decided to swarm obviously, can it be stopped or is this a reason not to use this method?

text: The Lang is so different that it might be hard to modify. You would have to connect the two deeps, make a back door and think of a totally different mechanism to slide the frames since the top bar is flat instead of curved. It would be great if we can figure out a design that can at least utilize the Lang frames. My friend Mark is looking into having a man in Michigan try to copy his AZ hive. We may have an answer in a few weeks if he can do it. There is also a lady in Georgia who is having her carpenter build some.

In reality, Nudge, the dog of Ian Jolly, 57, is a guide dog. However, restaurant staff at the Thai Spice restaurant in Adelaide in May, 2009, misheard the woman with Jolly, and believed that his "guide dog" Nudge was in fact a "gay dog."
It is in fact, unclear what a "gay dog" truly is, but in a statement to South Australia's Equal Opportunity Tribunal, the owners said "The staff genuinely believed that Nudge was an ordinary pet dog which had been desexed to become a gay dog." Uh, that would be a neutered or perhaps spayed dog, one would think.
Jolly will receive a written apology and $1,400 in compensation. Ironically, the restaurant displays a "Guide Dogs Welcome" sign.

Culture Warriors: National Indigenous Art Triennial presents the work of 30 Indigenous artists. The exhibition demonstrates the wide range of contemporary Indigenous art practice taking place today from painting on bark and canvas, sculpture, textiles, weaving, new media, photomedia, printmaking and installation.
Every state and territory of Australia is represented among the 30 Indigenous artists invited to exhibit by the inaugural Triennial curator, Brenda L Croft, Senior Curator, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, National Gallery of Australia. The theme and title of the 2007 Triennial, Culture Warriors, carries a number of interpretations, from references to historical Indigenous warriors to investigations of current political and social issues. Although there are a number of artworks that have political messages in this exhibition, there are also examples of bark painting and weaving in which the spiritual significance of the works of art reminds us that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art is the oldest continuing art tradition in the world.
The following resources are for the use of teachers and students as companion to the NIAT exhibition and website in developing a better understanding of contemporary Indigenous art practice in Australia.
