We read with interest the recent article in CHEST (December 2009) by Lindell et al1 in which the authors state that this "study is the only one to have evaluated growth curves of lung cancers using multiple CT scans." We would like to point out our previously published article that examined growth rates in 54 lung lesions, including 33 primary non-small cell lung cancers, based on volumetric measurements from thin-section CT imaging.2 Individual growth curves were plotted for the 20 lesions with ≥3 CT scans, including 13 non-small cell lung cancers. As in the study by Lindell et al, we found considerable variability in growth rates among the individual cancers that were analyzed. On the other hand, however, most of our lesions showed exponential growth, differing somewhat from the results of Lindell et al.
Lindell et al noted that their study was limited by the accuracy of two-dimensional measurements for volume calculation. Indeed, in our study, we found that calculated growth rates differed substantially, depending on the volume measurement technique used (ie, based on lesion diameter, lesion area, or direct volume measurement using automatic segmentation and direct volume measurement); presumably, direct volume measurements are superior to the other methods because primary lung cancers are not spherical and often grow asymmetrically. Despite the potential limitations of our studies, CT imaging-based growth rates are undoubtedly more accurate than the oft-quoted rates based on data derived from older chest radiography studies.3-5

Screening the Gothic

BeschreibungScreening the Gothic offers a radical new way of understanding the relationship between film and the Gothic as it surveys a wide range of films, many of which have received scant critical attention. Its central claim is that, paradoxically, those texts whose affiliations with the Gothic were the clearest became the least Gothic when filmed. Thus, Hopkins surprises readers by revealing Gothic elements in films such as Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park, as well as exploring more obviously Gothic films like The Mummy and The Fellowship of the Ring. Written in an accessible and engaging manner, Screening the Gothic will be of interest to film lovers as well as students and scholars.

Trully een prachtige omgeving, is het Redbrick boerderij mijn thuis geweest voor 9 jaar. Het karakter en de geest heeft gedurende de levensduur van dit prachtige huis en 4 hectare gebleven.
Elke kamer is ingericht met functionele antiek gecombineerd met moderne voorzieningen, evenals nieuwe matrassen en fris beddengoed en dekbedden op vintage frames.
We hebben drie slaapkamers. De slaapkamer beneden heeft een full size ijzeren bed, marmeren night stand & walnoot dressoir. De volledige bad / douche grenst.
Boven is de 'Tante Zeud' slaapkamer met queen size bed, veel quilts, boekenplank en interessante artefacten.
De 'Ella & Emma' slaapkamer is ook boven met een unieke Victoriaanse twin ijzeren bed. Quilts ook laag Deze kamer. Een boekenkast, aangrenzende badkamer en strand kant kleuren versieren deze kamer liefdevol vernoemd naar mijn kleindochters!
My wife and I stayed at the redbrick farm house for a week near the end of August 2016. Very clean, comfortable and welcoming house. We felt relaxed right from the start. Communication from Kim was excellent, keys were waiting, and our stay started out very perfectly! From the garden full of vegetables that she offered freely to share with us to the deer that played in the back yard we found that sitting around the fire pit was a great way to end a day of beach going or exploring any of the attractions around the area. We were close enough to Silver Lake, Meinert park and beach, several farm stores and orchards, grocery stores, and anything else you could want, but not so close that everything around you felt "touristy". If there was anything at all that I could find worth mentioning it would be that Verizon cell phone service was terrible in the entire area, including at the house...but honestly other than emergencies or maybe wanting to find the location of an attraction I don't live on my phone like some do so it really was not a big deal. Wifi inside the house and even outside at the firepit worked great! We would highly recommend this location to anyone staying in the area...I don't think you could find any place more relaxing or welcoming! Thanks Kim!!!!
I really appreciate the value of this rental. The home and grounds are beautiful, inviting and very comfortable. We found the home to be quite clean and well-maintained. Kimberly generously shares her garden with renters, so we gladly took advantage of fresh herbs, tomatoes, squash and beans! The location is perfect for renters wanting to spend ample time at the beach. There is a city and county park within minimal driving distance, and we did not have to pay for entrance to either park. Kimberly was also accommodating to our special requests and questions. She is a wonderful host! Thank you Kimberly, we had a marvelous time and hope to be back soon!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Red Brick farmhouse. The property is well-kept in a quiet neighborhood, and the house is clean and interesting. Everywhere you look there is an artifact from a bygone era. Everything is just as described in the listing, including the garden, which gave us some ideas about how we could grow things better!
Unfortunately, we never met Kim, but she had everything ready for us and gave us instructions on how to get into the house. She called to confirm that we had everything we needed and was readily reachable by phone if we had any questions.
We spent most of our time at the Silver Lake sand dunes, which is about 20 minutes away. We also ate at the Hearthstone in Muskegon, which we would highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay at this antique farmhouse. The vegetable garden was whimsical, the home was very tastefully decorated and comfortable and the owner was so incredibly sweet. She met us at the house and gave us a tour of the home and was incredibly gracious and accomodating. I would highly recommend staying here. However, during high summer the house could get a bit warm if there wasn't a cross breeze blowing in from outside - fine for my husband and me, a bit warm for my dad who in general likes to keep his house at arctic temperatures. We had a wonderful stay - thank you!!!
We very much enjoyed our long weekend in and around Montague and couldn't have found a better home to plop down and feel at home for a few days. We loved every minute we spent in and around the Redbrick Farmhouse. It is simply wonderful, welcoming and cozy. The house, its furnishings and decoration tell a story and I am sorry I missed to ask our lovely host Kim about it's history. It reminded me of my German grandparent's farm house and the many summers I spent there. Thank you Kim!
The five of us (three generations) had a wonderful time at the redbrick farmhouse. We especially liked its very nice interior decoration with a lot of antique furniture, the garden with fresh vegetables and the deer coming by regularly. Kim is very friendly and avaliable with tips or for answering questions whenever you need her. Nearby are a bicycle trail, a bookstore-cafe, a brewery and a beach. It takes 25 min to walk into town, 5 min by car. The house feels very cozy, perfect for relaxing, good cooking and exploring the area.

The stench of death
Poem by: A Black Sage
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
Death has a distinct odor
that one could never forget
just one whiff of it will have you fall to your knees
especially if the dying has an open wound that bleeds
Death is putrid smell that puts a black mark on your soul
watching someone suffering is bad enough
watching before your eyes somebody shrivel and rot
turns you cold
I know it sounds selfish , but sometimes you want to kill them cause watching them suffer
is getting old
Deaths smell is always constantly festering
the smell of death weakens your body
and dull your scences
the constant stomach and intestinal pain from smelling the stench of death
is pestering.
sometimes you have the taste of a certain food on your tongue
but one whiff of deaths odor
quickly takes your appetite and make you gag like you're losing a lung
Deaths smell is hypnotizing
thats the worst effect of all
the stench of death is excruciatingly mind boggling
it makes you angry, sad, and suicidal
once the stench of death is working on your brain
everything become clouded in fog
and works on you psychologically
until you feel like a dog
You'd hate to leave the person
whose dying in such awful way
but getting away from that stench
from all the pain and all the crying
if I don't leave who would die first
me or the dying?

wow this poem hit a nerve on me not in a bad way just it reminds me of my grandmother who's dying of cancer and it smells rotten. It can be really hard to watch someone close to die slowly. I can relate to this poem quite well. good job I enjoy your writing.

Boycott Valentine's Day?
Feb 13, 2008
One of my guests, Marc Rudov, author of Under the Clitoral Hood: How to Crank Her Engine Without Cash, Booze, or Jumper Cables believes we should boycott Valentine's Day.
"It's a holiday for women, and Hallmark … On the 13th and 15th of February if you're not happy, then the 14th isn't going to be an exception …"
I say we stick with it. Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to jump start your sex life (See last week's blog entry). Make it the best day you've had in a while, especially if it's been less than scintillating in the sex department.
Also, feel free to listen to my show with Marc.
What do you think? Are you dreading or loving Valentine's Day? Was it good for you this year? Let me know at email@example.com.

A few days later I had to stay a bit late at the theatre, getting my part down right. I'd been heading to the dressing rooms when I heard the sound of vomiting.
It was coming from the bathrooms. I opened the door a sliver and could see Vera's red hair hunched over the sink.
I wasn't sure what to do, for a moment. She hated me, I almost hated her back. I'd be intruding...
I made up my resolve and went in, walking up to her and holding her hair back for her.
She coughed the rest of her stomach's contents out and splashed water on her face, talking to me without looking at me.
"You can leave. No need to play the angel, it's only the two of us here."
"Are you okay?" I asked, watching as the water gushed out of the tap.
"Yeah. I ate a bad hotdog. Now leave me alone."
I caught sight of the pencil on the counter and felt my stomach twist.
"You made yourself throw up, didn't you?" I asked quietly, almost afraid to hear the answer.
Vera took the pencil and threw it in the trashcan beside her, narrowing her eyes.
"It's none of your business."
"I don't get it." I said slowly, "You're...pretty."
"That's easy for you to say, isn't it?" she yelled, before touching her forehead and leaning against the sink for support.
Her features contorted in anguish and I watched, speechless, as she broke down and cried.
"You know what it's like?" she sobbed, "Knowing that you're going to be replaced eventually, and then watching as younger and thinner girls get into the Ballet? Watching and waiting for the day you're going to...going to lose everything you've worked for! Lose another ten pounds, get another nose job, pay one executive off, sleep with another."
I felt myself gaping, a sickening feeling spreading inside of me.
"It never ends!" she continued, "I'm never good enough, never pretty enough! There's always a thousand other ballerinas waiting to take my place!"
Vera pulled a flask out of her bag and drained about half of it before I came to my senses and pulled it away from her.
"You have to stop." I said firmly, even though my voice was shaking, "You can't go hurting yourself. It's not worth it."
"I can't!" she replied, "Once you get into my world, there's no going back! You're an outsider, you wouldn't know. It's a power struggle, and to give up my position would ruin me!"
She took the flask back and finished it, wiping her mouth off.
"Eventually you'll understand." She said with sobriety, "You'll see. You reach a point where the money doesn't matter anymore. Where it would be better to die than to let someone else take your place."
Vera studied me and shook her head disapprovingly.
"You should leave the Ballet. You don't know what you've signed up for."
"I can't." I replied, my mouth dry, "I'm not exactly rich."
"You've caught Raphael's eye." She said dryly, "That doesn't happen very often. Just don't fuck it up and you'll have enough money to swim in for the rest of your life."
"But...you and him?"
"I dated him maybe a week." Vera chuckled, "And it was because of a bet. I was hoping he would be good in bed, but..."
"He wasn't?"
"He wouldn't sleep with me." She sighed, "And believe me, that doesn't happen very often. I tried everything."
I blinked in surprise. That was a twist I hadn't seen coming.
Vera wiped at her face and set about reapplying her makeup, gesturing for me to leave.
"I know. Don't you have somewhere to be, Katnernina?"
She didn't seem to be in any immediate trouble so I left, my mind reeling. The world was a strange one.

Mar, City on High (Part 3)Mature
Monstroth groaned. He had been practicing since before sunrise to no avail. While he was used to harsh training from both his father and his Uncle when he was younger, Monstroth had learned well enough that they could not compare to the Sovereign.
Well, this 'lesson' was harder than any he had gone through before. Instead of picking up rocks, sensing minerals in the earth, or just all around practice, the Sovereign had Monstroth trying to 'lock' a boulder in air and try climbing on it afterward. It sounded simple in theory, but Monstroth was hit by reality the moment he tried it.
"The problem is with how you are doing it, boy," his master said for what seamed like the fiftieth time that morning. "You have to create a bond between two sources instead a bond with yourself. Once you get that part through your thick skull, I'm sure you'll figure it out."
Monstroth sighed. "I get what you mean but..." The boulder hit the ground next to another larger boulder. Sands, how did he explain it? "I just don't feel a connection between the two rocks."
The Sovereign cursed and thought for a moment. "I hate giving metaphors because I think using them makes you rely upon an image. I told you about my dog correct?" Monstroth nodded. He vaguely remembered hearing about his master's 'connection'. It was what enabled him to use his Mineral Mystic so well. "Well, when he died, my Mystic suffered. I was grieving. I got over it, of course, but it was a weakness that could have been exploited. Understand?"
"Yes, master," Monstroth replied. He wondered why Naetia had been sent out of ear again. Maybe these techniques weren't meant to be passed to those who weren't Sovereign? Sands, why did it matter? She was a distraction and Monstroth hated switching between pity, anger and sadness at seeing her. He should be paying attention to his master.
"So, don't rely on this too much," the former bandit continued, "Imagine that the two sources are your friend Rhazin and... Let's say your younger sister. I think I heard that fool boy liked her or something from your father anyway." His master spat at the ground. Romantic relationships were something the Sovereign seemed to hate. He had always looked annoyed when Monstroth spoke of them. "Those two also have a bond, so imagine that bond and let it control the Mineral in the boulders instead of your own bond."
Monstroth followed his masters orders and tried imagining his sister as one of the boulders. She was energetic and prone to doing reckless things, but kept herself polite in public. If anything, she was more like a boy than most other boys, honestly. It was easy to see her in the Mineral, just like he did Rhazin.
Something clicked and Monstroth knew he had his 'connection.' It wasn't as strong as his connection when he thought of Rhazin, but it was still there and pretty powerful. He used his Mystic to grab the other boulder and place it above and to the right of the first one. Almost like stairs.
Then, Monstroth tried imagining the bond they shared. Those times they had both been with him around Faerein. Rhazin was younger than Monstroth, yet older than Kaela, so at the time there was no romantic feelings, but they were close even then. It was slight, but Monstroth could feel the connection between the two boulders. Or he thought, at least. He wasn't sure how he should feel when they were connected. Sands, he had a lot to learn!
"Try stepping on it," the Sovereign said dryly, though Monstroth wasn't sure if he was embracing his Mineral Mystic or not. Either way, Monstroth did as he was told. The pain of disobedience was not something he enjoyed.
"Yes, Master," Monstroth said, walking forward. He climbed onto the first boulder and tenderly placed his armored foot on the next one. Despite his large frame, it was a large step and keeping a strong hold on the 'connections' in his head was no easy feet. Still, the feeling of accomplishment that followed when he managed to get on top of the second boulder without falling to the ground with it again was worth it.
"I did it!" Sands, but it felt great. In his mind, Monstroth could feel the connections becoming easier to maintain as well. It had been like this all his life, but even still, it was amazing to be able to adapt to a new skill or move. His master said that was one of the qualifications for being a Sovereign.
"Well, it's about time, boy," the bald man said, looking honestly annoyed. "Any longer and I would have probably tried to find another apprentice."
For the next couple hours, Monstroth was made to practice holding the boulder at different heights and even lifting himself with the boulder. It wasn't easy, but – like his master had said – he grasped it quickly now that he knew the basics. The hardest part to learn, though, had been slowing down the boulder after dropping it. He had to establish a connection while the boulder fell and slow it down to a stop.
Monstroth didn't like it when he found out why his master had emphasized on slowing falling boulders.
"You're going to throw me?" Monstroth asked again.
"Still got sand in your ears, boy? Yes, I'm going to throw you to Mar."
Though the prospect of flying like the Air Herost of legend excited him.... Monstroth was scared. Who wouldn't be? He was no Air Mystic and his Plasma wasn't all that powerful yet! He didn't want to die! Sands, did any other apprentices of Sovereigns have to deal with this!?
"Get on the boulder, the both of you!" Barked the bandit leader. Naetia had been called over, reminding Monstroth she was still there. Her presence made him distracted for a different reason now.
If he messed up, she would die, too.
But, Monstroth knew he was being thrown one way or another, so he helped Naetia onto the large rock and climbed on himself. Just for safety reasons – and because the girl seemed to be literally scared speachless – Monstroth pulled her into his lap and put his dominant arm around her stomach.
"Don't think you'll have sweet alone time with the girl, boy," the Sovereign spat, "Focus on landing."
Before Monstroth could reply, he was flying through the air toward Mar.
The fear of falling was slowly replaced with the excitement of flying. The air was cold enough to make Monstroth tremble, and Naetia screamed wildly in his grip, but honestly it was like nothing he had ever seen before.
Mar was below him and stretched far across the plateau. Unlike the ground view, Monstroth could truly grasp the magnitude of the capitol and the plateau that housed it from here. He also saw the far expanse of plains on the other side of Mar that stretched farther than he could see. In the distance, there was the Wall, if barely. It's peaks were jutting upwards like a row of sharp, ragged teeth.
And then Monstroth felt his excitement leave and fear replace it. The ground was getting closer, Mar bigger.
'Sands! A connection! I need a connection!' Monstroth felt frantically for another rock to use as his connection, but found himself to be far from anything he could sense. 'Damnable Sands!' Below, a courtyard in front of a large building greeted him. Mar was starting to encompass his surroundings, too. Hurry! He needed a connection!
He fell below the walls. The ground was almost to him. Naetia screamed louder, grabbing Monstroth's arm and squeezing it tighter than she should be able to.
A connection! Sands!
A large statue sat in the middle of the courtyard. Monstroth quickly established a connection and slowed the boulder beneath his feet. It was hard to completely stop it, so Monstroth used the connection to divert the boulder – and Naetia and himself – to the side.
They hit hard, sending Monstroth and Naetia to the ground. Naetia groaned, but got up and dusted herself off. Monstroth felt the desire to groan himself, but his pride helped him swallow the pain his body felt and stand up. His desert jacket had been torn in the fall, ruining it, and his trousers were in similar shape. That left his armored boots the only thing he had left that wasn't ruined. Sands!
Naetia was inspecting her own dress and seemed displeased. "I really hate these last two days..." Her voice was less despair and more annoyance, meaning she was probably getting over her brothers death. A feeling of guilt passed over Monstroth at that thought, but he shoved it aside as his Master floated down towards the courtyard.
"Not the best of jobs," the Sovereign said slowly with his usual frown, "But you aren't dead. Yet." The man stepped off of two small stones that had been underneath his feet and glared at Monstroth for a moment.
Monstroth remembered his masters rule from over a month back. 'Don't make me kill you.' Not only once had Monstroth realized the truth of those words.
Footsteps brought two men dressed in colorful tabards. They were both similar looking – with long black hair pulled back and stern faces – and wearing leather armor underneath. Guards, then?
"Let me do the talking, boy," the Sovereign snapped, "Lest you get us killed. The same goes for you, girl." Naetia just nodded and moved to stand beside Monstroth.
"Ah," the first guard said sarcastically as he came close, "If it isn't the Sovereign of Mineral, himself!"
The second guard spit on the ground before him. "What do you want, old man?"
Monstroth was about to say something about their disrespectful tones...
...But was cut off when he saw the door from the large building nearby rip of it's guards and fly towards the statue near them. Sands! He hadn't even known what it was a statue of! Nevermind that, though!
"Filth!" The guards rushed toward the smoke filled doorway.
Monstroth started to do the same, but his master stopped him. It was probably the right idea, now that he thought about it. It was pointless to rush into danger without being aware of what the danger was. There was also the guards there to help, and they could handle the situation. Yes, Monstroth couldn't argue this time ar-
The dust had settled in the doorway, revealing a small child.
Sands! It was Zero Zalazore! The General's son!

Tell your members of Congress to oppose any efforts to privatize or undermine Medicare benefits for millions of people.
Working people do not want a savior to speak for us. We want to raise our own voices through our unions — and those voices are more essential than ever.
Read the full article in the New York Times.
President-elect Donald Trump selected D-List fast food CEO Andy Puzder to head up the Labor Department. AFL-CIO and other working family advocates condemned the appointment of Puzder, who runs Carl's Jr. and Hardee's.
Puzder's nomination shows Trump is backing away from his promise to represent all working people.
President-elect Donald Trump will name fast-food executive Andy Puzder to head the U.S. Department of Labor, according to a source familiar with the matter, in an appointment likely to antagonize organized labor. Puzder, chief executive of CKE Restaurants Inc, which operates the Carl's Jr. and Hardee's fast-food chains, has been a vociferous critic of government regulation of the workplace.
Donald Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday to slam a local union leader who had criticized the president-elect's claim to have saved 1,100 jobs at an Indianapolis manufacturing plant.
Chuck Jones, who is President of United Steelworkers 1999, has done a terrible job representing workers. No wonder companies flee country!
When George W. Bush assembled his first Cabinet in 2001, news reports dubbed them a team of millionaires, and government watchdogs questioned whether they were out of touch with most Americans' problems. Combined, that group had an inflation-adjusted net worth of about $250 million — which is roughly one-tenth the wealth of Donald Trump's nominee for commerce secretary alone.
Trump is putting together what will be the wealthiest administration in modern American history.
Jon Hiatt is Executive Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff at the AFL-CIO.

Authors of a landmark UN report on climate change remain adamant that humans are heating up the planet by burning fossil fuels and cutting down CO2-absorbing forests, despite data from the report suggesting a purported slowdown in global warming over the past 15 years.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) full 127-page document - due for release in Stockholm next week - is expected to suggest the link between human activity and global warming is clearer than ever, regardless of the recent lower rate of warming.
In a draft leaked in June, the IPCC said that while the rate of warming between 1998 and 2012 was about half the average rate since 1951, the globe is still heating up in the long term.
The leaked report qualified the apparent slowdown by citing natural variables in the climate system, the cooling effects from volcanic eruptions and the fact that an uncommonly hot year was picked as the starting point for the 15-year chart.
"Barring a major volcanic eruption, most 15-year global mean surface temperature trends in the near-term future will be larger than during 1998-2012," a technical summary from the report said.
"Fifteen-year-long hiatus periods are common," it added.
The Associated Press says it has obtained comments made to the IPCC by several governments concerned with how to tackle the apparently anomalous data.
Germany called for the 15 year slowdown to be dismissed as a blip, saying climate change needed to be measured in decades and centuries, rather than smaller intervals.
Belgium objected to using 1998 as a starting year for the statistics, citing the exceptionally warm temperature of the year, while Hungary were concerned the finding would be fodder for global warming sceptics.
Jonathan Lynn, a spokesman for the IPCC, said: "a comprehensive picture of all the science relevant to climate change, including the thousands of pieces of scientific research published since the last report in 2007 up to earlier this year."
Conclusions reached by the IPCC are significant as they provide the basis for UN discussions on the treatment of CO2 emissions and other greenhouses gases. A global climate treaty is scheduled to be reached in 2015.Reuse content

In the world of luxury motor vehicles, German design is synonymous with performance, quality and sophistication. It comes as little surprise therefore, that Germany's furniture industry bears all the similar hallmarks of intelligent, understated, truly beautiful design.
Few retailers know this better than Siekaup, who have been selling high-end German designed and German made furniture for more than 20 years. One look at Siekaup's collection and you are instantly transported to a cool Berlin pad, or a stylish Munich apartment – their pieces imbue contemporary class.
Siekaup Bruhl Sofa Bed in Yellow: a striking piece that epitomises Siekaup's design style.
Two of Siekaup's most popular brands, Interlübke and COR, epitomise this handsome and thoughtful design. COR specialises in soft furnishings (sofas, upholstered suites, armchairs), whilst Interlübke are known for the distinct lines and understated sculpture of their wall units, book cases, etc. The two work together harmoniously to create a décor that is going look incredibly smart now, and well into the future.
Indeed, it's a shift in German interior design that Siekaup has noticed over the years. Whereas once furniture pieces were so sculptural and perfect they bordered on art; now a more comfortable middle ground has been achieved between form and function. The change has proven particularly popular in Australia, where we embrace quality European design that is as practical as it is beautiful.
Siekaup Morning Dew Armchair: this beautifully designed chair can be produced in your choice of fabric or leather.
This is perhaps just one reason so many clients love and continue to return to Siekaup. The store's return and referred clientele covet brands like COR and Interlübke, but also the technology behind multi-slat based beds and Latex mattresses. Clients confide in friends and family members that they've never slept better after their Siekaup purchase, word travels fast, and the store welcomes more and more visitors.
This is a store for home makers who aren't fussed with what the Joneses are doing, and who would prefer to invest in contemporary yet timeless European pieces that are confident, quality and sure to impress now and well into the future.

Moms Who Make Time For Exercise Set A Healthy Example
Mother's Day is a day where we can show that extra bit of appreciation for our moms and everything they do. When we say thank you to our moms, it's so easy to recall the numerous times our mothers stayed up late with us when we were sick, or picked us up from hundreds of team practices or music recitals. I'm not saying dads don't do this, too, but you have your own day later in the year -- let's focus on the women in our lives today.
What may not be as easy to recognize is the substantial yet subtle role mothers play in modeling healthy habits for their kids. Most mothers help their children build a healthy lifestyle using those magic motherly negotiating skills.
Take my mom, for example. My mom was a great role model -- especially when it came to physical activity, eating healthy and thinking positively. She would help "feed" me with optimism and encouragement, even though she was strict at times about rules and household chores.
Growing up I can recall my mother insisting that my siblings and I eat breakfast and dinner at home as a family. This meant we would see how my mother prepared the meals to show us how those healthy meals were created. She also rewarded me and my siblings with an extra 30 minutes tacked on to our bedtime if we were outside playing versus sitting on the couch watching television.
I have to say this was one of the best negotiating tactics my mother ever used. I would stay outside and run around with my friends as long as I possibly could. (I might have even gotten grounded a couple of times because I stretched that extra time' a little too far '- "Come on mom, just one more game/lap/point/jump!" was essentially my catchphrase growing up.)
Look at those three crazy munchkins -- I can only imagine how hard my mom had to work to get us to sit still for this picture.
Not only is it important for mothers to talk the talk and help instill these values into their children, but they need to be prepared to walk the walk. In order to lead by example, moms need to learn how to make time for themselves. Many mothers are so busy taking care of their family they neglect their own well-being. In order to be at your best in every aspect of life, you need to invest in yourself first!
There are a few key factors I often hear from busy moms who say they can't make it to the gym, even if they'd like to. The top reasons are they don't have the time due to a busy schedule, they don't know what they're doing or they're intimidated by the thought of lifting weights. Believe it or not, these reasons are actually popular amongst most people, not just moms.
According to a recent survey done by GoodLife Fitness and ParticipACTION, four out of 10 Canadians are intimidated to go to the gym and nearly two of those four (19 per cent) find the experience to be very intimidating. For those who are new to the gym or are thinking about going but are feeling the familiar tinge of intimidation, I have some advice to help get you through it.
Start out by going to a Group Fitness Class.
Fitness Classes is amazing because you are in the camaraderie of a group setting while being instructed move-by-move what to do. There are options for all fitness levels and you can pick a class that caters to your individual taste. There are classes like yoga that focus on mind and body connection, classes that focus on strength training like BODYPUMP and even classes tailored specifically for women and their bodies like NEWBODY. It's a social experience that's meant to be fun and friendly. And it's great because it is workout is planned out for you and it effectively maximizes your time.
Strength training for women.
Time and time again I have heard women say they don't want to weight train because they don't want to bulk up. Research tells us that women who don't strength train lose about five pounds of muscle every decade of adult life. That leads to a lower metabolism and a gradual increase in fat weight (about 15 pounds per decade), as well as a less fit, firm and attractive appearance. So, in most cases, the added muscle simply replaces the muscle previously lost through lack of use. And women who start strength training typically lose twice as much fat as they gain muscle.
Consider investing in a Personal Trainer
We make investments to have our cars checked regularly or pay large sums of money to ensure we have straight teeth (whether for cosmetic or medical reasons) -- so why wouldn't we consider investing in our bodies, too? For those who are new to the gym or for those who are short on time a certified and educated personal trainer is a great option where you can learn the foundations of fitness in a safe and effective manner. A trainer can also teach you the basic primal movements that will set you up for long-term success and give you the confidence you may be lacking. I highly suggest this if you're feeling some intimidation. For me, personal training sessions are a way to ensure I get into the gym and do my weights and not waste time. Personally working with a personal trainer is one of the best decisions I've made and the payoffs have been extraordinary.
There are endless mental benefits of exercise.
Getting exercise, whether it be your own routine or participating in a class, creates a number of benefits. It's a stress release. It provides an escape and gives you a mental break. Any busy person, especially a busy mom, with so much on the go can appreciate that. So no matter if it's going for a walk, connecting with a local charitable run, taking the kids out for a bike ride or getting to the gym, get that physical activity in. I assure you the quality of life you live will be that much more enjoyable and rewarding.
So, moms, I urge you to invest a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes a day for yourself to get that much-needed exercise. It will restore your energy, boost your confidence and will have you feeling fabulous. This will shine through and you'll be able to be the best mom you can be. Beauty comes from the inside out and when you're feeling healthy and happy your radiance will positively affect all aspects of your life.
So once again, I would like to say thank you, mom, for taking care of yourself and for showing Pauline, Michael and me how to enjoy a happy and healthy life.

While we don't live in the same town, we do make an effort to go to spin class or take a run together whenever we meet up... but since she's a triathlete who competes in world championship events, I typically end up gasping for air as she does all the talking. :) It works for us.
My mother and I have always had a strong bond and connection through dance and fitness. I was three years old when she signed me up for my first ballet class. Many recitals later I found myself dancing professionally. She has attended every opening and even traveled to Japan to see me perform. When Jennifer Maanavi and I opened Physique 57, she was one of our first clients. Since then she has dropped four dress sizes by attending our classes and doing our DVDs. I'm so proud of her and lucky to have her as my biggest fan and mother! Tanya Becker is the co-founder of Physique 57, a boutique exercise studio in New York and Los Angeles
In the mid 80s, my family moved to a new city. I was a young teenager and one of the things that helped me through the transition was starting to run with my Mom every day. It started out running a few blocks and progressed to several miles. Even when I ran in middle school and high school, I would run after practice with Mom. In 1985 we ran the Old Kent River Bank Run 25K together. (We even ended up having our picture taken.) In college she ran my first marathon with me. Continued ...
After college, I moved away to a new city and a new job. My parents retired to Missouri. In 2001 my husband and I had the opportunity through my job to moved to the same city. Since our move, Mom and I walk every day. It felt no time had elapsed since our runs of yesteryear. I have recently started running again but I always make sure I still take time to walk with Mom. We have had thousands of conversations -- laughing and sharing stories of our days: present and remembering those of years past. Many problems have been solved and many ideas created as we walk those familiar steps. Now I am a Mom too. I plan to pass onto my son this tradition of being a fit parent and cherishing time with loved ones. After all, I had the best teacher.
My mother is my workout inspiration (she is a certified personal trainer). At close to 60 years old she has a better body than most women her age and, let's face it, than most women at any age! Every Sunday without fail we spend two hours working out at the gym. We lift weights (360 pounds on the Angle Leg Press), do plyometrics, and finish with a two mile run. We spend it as a day to not only work ourselves out but to catch up and reconnect over things that happened during the previous week. My mother is my inspiration, she's instilled in me a life of fitness. Most importantly, she shown me that age really is a number. Here's my mom doing her thing, putting me to shame.
My mother and I are runners. We run when it is hot, we run when it's cold, we even run when it's windy and rainy. But most importantly, we run together. We share our day: the highlights, the low points and all the in-betweens. We have always shared our workouts together. Before running it was weight lifting in the gym. We started running a year and a half ago after seeing a sign for a half marathon training program. I've always had asthma and never thought I would be able to run. My mother was a former smoker. We started running in November 2010 and ran our first half marathon in March of 2011 and our second in December. We plan on running two more this year. I lost my father to lung cancer 10 years ago. Every day and every run with my mother I cherish more, simply because I know what it is like to lose a parent young. It's a time everyday I know I get to spend with her and I know it contributes to both our health! My mother just turned 63. I am amazed daily at what she can do, how she looks and most importantly how much I love her!
I am mom to a 16-year-old girl, to whom I look like a big sister, and not because of over-exercising or resorting to cosmetic surgery, or wanting to compete with her; just because I lead a healthy life in many senses. I want to leave her a legacy of health and fitness, among a lot of other stuff. Hitting the gym with her is a bit difficult, because of the "embarrassment factor," but we've done it a few times and hope to do it in the future as she grows up.
My mom lives too far away for me to work out with her. I maybe get to see her once a year. So instead I have my mother-in-law who I get along wonderfully with. We go hiking and shopping together and we garden together as well. It is great to be able to do something with her that we both enjoy and we get along so well to the surprise of many people who have the stereotypical relationship with their mother-in-laws.
My mom was a nurse (she worked as Head Nurse at Rusk at NYU), so she definitely has inspired me to be as active as possible for as long as I can remember. Besides taking Soul Cycle in NYC together (and FlyWheel in Boca), we take annual trips to Canyon Ranch. Can't wait for my daughter Liv to join us soon! Blake Brody is the founder of Blake Brody In-Studio Footwear
I am blessed to live in the same city as my sons and daughter-in-law. We love exercising together on a very regular basis! Not only is it fun, all four of us are in great shape!
I love that my mom and I share figure skating. We get together several times a year in Sun Valley and skate outside under the stars. When we are on the ice together I feel seven again ... we laugh, share ideas and connect.
Most people who have met my mom will tell you that she does not look her age. While she definitely has good genes (hopefully bestowed to me!), it can also be attributed to many years of being active. Whether playing tennis, taking step classes (circa 1990), and, over the past 10 years or so, becoming a spin fanatic (this part, I take credit for!), she is always on her feet and on the go. With two young children, I now find myself balancing motherhood with staying active just as she does. Although I am a runner, I am also a class junkie. I still remember taking my first group fitness class was with my mom when I was in high school -- none other than a Lucille Roberts all-female step class. Thinking about our outfits and those workouts together brings a smile to my face. Fast forward 20 years, and now our jazzy workout gear is replaced by something a bit more refined (thank you, Lululemon) and the class is an intense spin class. Today our routine is simple: We take each other to our favorite instructor's classes, grab a coffee and get back to the family. Call it bonding, call it staying fit -- either way, it's one of my favorite things to do with my mom.
Htsssy:My mother and I for a long time had differences that split us apart. As I matured our relationship grew closer. I very much look up to her and her healthy habits. My whole life I have watched her strive towards something better. She still strives to be a better person, employee, and mother. We enjoy extreme sports together as often as possible. She is my hero and I enjoy spending each day with her.
Alyssa9986:My mother is one of the most resilient, loving, and charming people anyone could ever meet. She has taught me from a very young age that being active and eating healthy are the best gifts you can ever give yourself.
JenniferHughes:For several years, mom and daughter have participated in this triathlon on mother's day.
fundine:A family that plays together, stays together! Enjoying the great outdoors together in the Northwest was just part of growing up. She was on ski patrol during my ski racing days. We camped, backpacked, biked, and swam at the lake. Now a well traveled 29 year old, I've come to realize my favorite trips have been with my Mom: backpacking the 211 mile John Muir Trail and Glacier National Park, Cycling the Bahamas and Florida Keys. We talk make plans and work through problems together while we huff and puff. I want my future family to be like ours, happy and healthy. I call her my 'IRONMOM' even though she hasn't done a triathlon... yet. ;-)

Grouch sits down for a stoney session and goes over the latest news, talks about recent rollout of medical marijuana regulation, and drops more developments in the WPD office.

How do we learn to sail?
My wife and I would like to learn to sail. We are in our early fifties and live in Ft Lauderdale Florida. Our goal is to learn to sail well enough in the coming years to eventually be able to sail the Florida Keys and Bahamas on extended trips. Can anyone give us some tips on how best to get started? I have seen the week long live aboard courses but won't have the time to do that until next year. Is there a shorter version of training that would get us on the water this summer? Thanks, our names are Mame and Carmine.
Re: How do we learn to sail?
Smartersail seems like it would be a good match for you but they are in St. Petersburg.
I see near you the Bluewater Sailing School but they don't seem a good fit for beginners.
The same might be true of Bluewater Miles.
Island Dreamer also seems to be advanced and live aboard.
Sail laser and Shake a Leg might be too low level.
So, I can see how you might have looked at all these but not found a match.
You might try http://www.arcmiami.com/school.htm
or CGSC Adult Sailing Programs
or Sailing Home
Aquatic Rental Center, Coconut Grove, or Castle Harbor look like they might work for you.
Re: How do we learn to sail?
Some schools offer day sailing courses in which you can return home for the night.
Also check out some classroom based courses offered by sailing school, Power Squadron, Coast Guard, etc.. Take you VHF courses, coastal navigation and first aid in this manner.

Take the ASA 101 basic Keelboating course at an area school.
Learn to sail Florida- American Sailing Association
That should be a three day course, often run Friday-Sunday. I see some doing 101 in two days, I dont know how that can work...

Jan Takes His Position
The short man with the ragged blond hair and the crooked smile emerged from the little hut on the forest floor. He liked the message he carried. And he would certainly enjoy giving it.
Jan reached the cord that hung from the treetops and gave it two tugs. There was a jerk from above in response and the cord jumped a bit. Jan took this as an answer and stepped onto the little wooden seat, grabbing the cord tight. Then the cord began to rise. As he shot upwards towards the distant tree tops, the grin carefully changed into an expression of sorrow.
By the time he reached the fort in the trees and stepped off onto the platform, his entire figure was displaying the deepest of sorrow and pain. He said nothing to the man who'd operated the pulley, but brushed past, his solemn silence doing wonders. Then he entered the fort, walking very slowly to the front of the busy room. By the time he reached the front, the room had gone very quiet.
He turned to address them.
"I am sure you are all wondering what happened to the Leader. Some saw him fall. Others only heard about it from friends. Even I was taken off guard when it happened. Yes, it was an unexpected tragedy. We did not expect Landon to be so sudden. I am sorry to inform you all that the Leader died from his fall. I was second in command when he died, and I will take his place. You need only to call me by my name. I am Jan. And this project will continue."
The room was deathly silent. Stunned faces looked on, mouths open but no sound emerging. Not even breath could escape them. Then Jan strode from the room.
By the time he was out of sight, a zip-line away, he was grinning. But it was a grin of amusement; a grin as if from an inside joke. Five minutes later, he was some distance from the scene, whistling a tune as he approached his camp. But when he saw who was sitting in his camp, he stopped his song and gave a grin.
"So you fell off the bridge and died?" Jan asked, as he strode into the camp. "How exciting."
"Indeed," the Leader responded, sitting coolly in the shade of a Canelo tree. "And don't give me that grin. I didn't plan it. I only prepared for a fall in case something went wrong. And many people saw me fall. So I figured it would do the story justice by going with it; I mean, it would make the whole thing seem rather unrealistic if I was to survive. After all, they need to be taken care of as well; they're all a part of the adventure just as much as Landon is."
"Well now that they've got me as their new leader, yes. Their adventures are about to begin."
The Leader smiled thoughtfully. "Yes. I do believe you are the most terrible leader I've ever known."
Jan gave a grin and collapsed into a hammock. "Indeed," he quoted.

As promised cooking thursday kicked off (a little later than planned) with a huge bang.
Phil was up first and surprised the studio with shiny new pots and pans ready for the cook-offs to follow.
The first course of chips and dip sparked a dipping frenzy but that was nothing for what was about to follow. Phil served up homemade spaghetti meatballs on a very generous pile of pesto pasta, cooked to perfection. In normal Phil style there is always a nice treat on the side, today it was in the form of bottled beer.
Dessert came shorty afterwards… jelly Phil style, this meant that our jelly was topped off with FizzWizz popping candy. An ingredient which I personally think should become mandatory in all Thursdays to follow.
Andy is next to don the chefs hat, with rumors of a full traditional roast or a rack of lamb.
Let's hope we can all maintain the standard already set.
