Greetings, welcome to week #18 of my weekly goals and objectives page/journal. I have begun to calculate the exact number of weeks that we have left until the 2003 Team Universe. We are currently 26 weeks out, that is it, and it will be here before we know it! I expect this year to be the biggest turnout ever. This year an IFBB Pro Card will be awarded to the overall winner. This will undoubtedly draw in the top natural bodybuilders; all of which are trying to cross the ranks into IFBB professionalism.
Topic of the Week: "FOCUS"
This past week was one filled with temptation, distraction, obstacles, and negative individuals. How did I manage to overcome? Intense focus, determination, willpower, drive, the conscious urge to strive for perfection, and mental sharpness! - Focus is a necessary trait of any successful natural bodybuilder. This week's journal will teach you how to stay focused through your incredible journey to the posing dais.
Stop and ask yourself, "what is willpower" then think about it... is it possible to develop this valuable trait? If so... how can willpower be developed? Willpower has been defined as a "person's mental ability to produce or change any behavior at will by focusing sufficiently on the appropriate thought (1)." Damn that statement is awesome, do you not agree? The keywords being "? mental ability?produce or change any behavior? (and) focusing sufficiently". The possibility of increasing your mental focus means that you also have the ability to increase your level of willpower because they go hand in hand.
Improving these traits is obviously going to be a great asset to your overall life and can be done through proper utilization of Self-Programmed Control (SPC) techniques. SPC techniques are powerful; I like to think of them as "Jedi-Warrior" tactics. These tactics/techniques allow me to overcome all obstacles that are brought on to me in my journey along the bodybuilding lifestyle and life in general. I am pretty tough and I like being considered "strong minded" and having a solid will to excel at my endeavors. SPC techniques are based off of the following concept "words and thoughts have the ability to produce reflexive or automatic responses." To better understand this concept try the following experiment/exercise (1):
I challenge you to put forth every ounce of effort that you have into this exercise. Imagine yourself slicing the lemon into two halves. Now willfully bite into each half. You have to see this in your mind! Squeeze lemon so that the tart juice quenches your very sensitive tongue. Doing this correctly produces and auto-response and your mouth should have automatically watered itself in anticipating the actual tart lemon juice hitting the sensitive taste buds of your tongue. This phenomenon was an automatic physiological response that occurred when your brain and sensory nerves believed that they were about to experience the tangy juice of the lemon. The latter entire process was stimulated by the mere words and/or thought of the lemon's juice.
Now was that not a simple exercise? Sure it was and I would bet that just about 100% of the people that try this exercise get the right response. Therefore, it is or at least should be simple and possible, to achieve this by focusing on any appropriate positive thought. Think about it you have the power to produce any positive reaction that you wish to. Now do not get me wrong here we all know that words or thoughts do not always yield the appropriate outcome. Have you ever heard of the old cliché " it went in one ear and came out of the other?" Well oftentimes good, great, and valuable plateau breaking advice does just what the cliché ³ays and we loose or fail to adhere to beneficial advice. Be not afraid my friends you will have plenty of opportunities to use your new Jedi-mind because availability of words and the thoughts needed to produce the desired responses will always be there. All that you need to do is learn how to bring them out. SPC, or as I like referring to them, "Jedi" techniques allow you to make this possible. SPC is sort of based off of the old "power of positive thinking" theory, but SPC adds a new twist by enforcing thought focusing techniques, which provide immediate and positive feedback. This means that instant proof of the techniques is present. This immediate feedback increases the belief of which you have in the technique, therefore increasing your mental focusing abilities.
Another excellent example of this principle is the "Arms" technique.
Step #1
"Extend both arms in front of you. Make sure they are both at the same level to begin with. Now with your eyes closed, picture one of those gigantic weather balloons capable of almost lifting a man off the ground attached to one of your wrists and pulling up(1).
Step #2
"After you have focused on that image for a few seconds, imagine holding a bucketful of water in the other hand. Continue to focus on this image until you can really feel the heaviness. After a total elapsed time of 30-60 seconds open your eyes and look to see where your arms are(1).
Their should be a great difference between your "bucket arm" and your "balloon arm" when you are finished. A focused and powerful mind, one of which has control, will have an easier time with this exercise. Additionally, you will be able to program your "Jedi mind power" into your brain as part of your new behavior. Keep practicing this technique till you can cause your arms to fully separate. At the end of the exercise one arm should be lifted straight up (by the balloon) while the other arm has been pulled down (by the bucket).
The above techniques assists you in believing that you can be much more responsive when your very own positive input is utilized. You will be able to understand that your willpower can be incredibly stimulating and is at a higher "Jedi-like" level. Once you start using this tactic day in and day out you will be able to "program in" anything that you set your powerful, strong, iron, non-penetrate-able, and "Jedi-powered" mind to.
Good Luck and may the "force of Focus" be with you!
1. SPC and Developing Greater Mental Focus & Willpower. The SPC Program. http://www.lifelines.com/Spc/program/part1.html. 9 Feb. 2003.
I am training 5 days a week now. I train each body part one time during the week. The ideal routine is broken down as follows:
Day #1 Quads, Hamstrings, & Glutes
Day #2 Chest & Shoulders
Day #3 Back & Traps
Day #4 Calves
Day #5 Arms
I will do hamstrings and quadriceps together from now on. I really like staying in the squat rack and when I break up the muscle group I stay sore too long to fully recover before it is time to train the remaining portion of the legs. Therefore I am choosing to bomb them out together as I said before I stay in the squat rack for quite a while. I basically go into the gym and punish the hell out of the muscle group being trained. I use moderate to light weight and really concentrate on squeezing the blood into the muscle. My workouts have been productive and interesting. I love this method of training and plan on using it at least until the 2003 season is over. I just go into the gym with a predetermined number of sets in mind and reap havoc on the muscle group. My theory as always has been is that if you are getting sore and you eat to build you will grow. Although I am "dieting" I am still fueling my body with plenty of protein for maintenance and rebuilding. It is a true science this sport of bodybuilding and only few can do it.
Weekly Cardio Program
I do 15 minutes a day. I usually break the session up into three "5 minute" sprints for a total of 15 minutes. I use elliptical machine on max incline and a resistance level of 1. I keep my revolutions per minute at 180 or above. I go 5 min pedaling forward for glutes and hamstrings, 5 minutes back pedaling for quadriceps. I have also recently been experiencing the "Strider." I keep the RPMs in 135-145 ranges when using this machine. I also use the Stair Master at level 7 for 5 minute sprints (great for calves and glutes).
Sometimes, like on a non-training day I do 15 hard-core straight minutes at 180 RPM or above on the elliptical, 135-145 on the Strider, and level 7 on the Stair Master. This is torture, but I am getting into really good cardiovascular shape and improving.
Weekly Goals & Objectives
I love setting short-term daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly goals. Goal setting is a great habit. Once you set and accomplish your smaller daily goals your larger scale goals have moved that much closer to being accomplished. Great days compiled over a consistent time period equal results in the end. To improve my performance every day of the week, I outline my goals and objectives. These are things that I must accomplish during the week in order for it to be considered a successful one. Each week I will review how well I did in attempting to accomplish them.
My goals for the week were:
- Maintain my consistent protein intake throughout the week and follow my nutritional plan 100%.
I managed to do this 80%! Like I said I had a troubled week and some obstacles held me back from my picture perfect nutrition plan. The good thing is that I learned how to adapt and overcome through this lesson so that it will never happen again! I must get back on track!
- I must follow my supplementation plans 100% every day of the week.
I met these requirements 90%! Again this week was wacky but I will get it right, you know I will!
- I must use an intelligent weight selection when training. I need to concentrate on working and building the muscle utilizing great execution during training. I must get inside the muscle mentally to understand what I am doing during each exercise. I must attempt to go as heavy as possible while maintaining perfect form and execution during the movements.
I remain to do really well here but I missed a day of training! Overall bad week but learned a lot from the mishaps.
- I must complete my cardio sessions, which are scheduled every morning. They will be done according to the prescribed intensity or with an increased level of intensity.
I managed to complete this task at about 98% only because I missed that day of training. I was on track with the RMPs. I get right! I will keep working hard at this until 180 seems like a joke, then I will bump it up a notch - what ever it takes!
- I must constantly remember what my goal for the 2003 competitive year is (NPC Team Universe)! I must present myself as a National level bodybuilder. I need to be assertive, proud, maintain eye contact, realize who I am becoming and live it out. I need to do this to be where I want to be next year and to represent my sponsors (Bodybuilding.com) with honor.
I am continuing to work hard in this area, reviewing my vision every morning has helped by reminding me that I have goals, plans, and a mission to be met. I am not just wandering into success it is a well drawn out plan!
My goals for the week are: (SAME AS BEFORE)
- Maintain my consistent protein & nutritional plan throughout the week.
- I must continue to follow my supplementation plans 100% every day of the week.
- I must use an intelligent weight selection when training. I need to concentrate on working and building the muscle utilizing great execution during training. I must get inside the muscle mentally to understand what I am doing during each exercise. I must attempt to go as heavy as possible while maintaining perfect form and execution during the movements.
- I must complete my cardio sessions, which are scheduled every morning. They will be done according to the prescribed intensity or with an increased level of intensity.
- I must constantly remember what my goal for the 2003 competitive year is (NPC Team Universe)! I must present myself as a National level bodybuilder. I need to be assertive, proud, maintain eye contact, realize who I am becoming and live it out. I need to do this to be where I want to be next year and to represent my sponsors (Bodybuilding.com) with honor.
Current Supplementation Plan
I bumped up my L-glutamine and creatine intake. I take 5 grams of each about an hour prior to training, immediately following training, and one hour following training. This is a total of 15 grams a day and revolves around spikes and surges of insulin that I am getting through my tactical nutrition program. Nutritional/Supplemental Science at its best!
Daily Supplement Regimen:
I am taking a 10-12 week break (until late March) from prohormone use to let my receptors open wide up again. I will also be taking 12 weeks free of ephedra products. I have now added HMB and ZMA.
HMB 3000mg
Z-force (ZMA)
3000 mg Vitamin C
Vitamin E
Vitamin A
15 grams L-Glutamine (Pre/post and post cardio-workout consumption)
15 grams of Creatine Monohydrate (Pre/post & post cardio-workout)
Flaxseed Oil
See last week's main topic for nutrition info.
Coming Up!
6-7-03: The Southern Classic, Jackson Mississippi - 19 weeks away!
6-14-03: The Mr. New Orleans - 20 weeks away!
7-20-03 (tentative date): The Mr. Louisiana - 23 weeks away!
7-8/9-03: National Debut-New York, New York- The NPC Team Universe - 28 weeks away.
Till next week practice your mental focus techniques. I guarantee that you will find all kind of neat areas of life that will allow you to throw them in and use this power instilled inside of you!

Nope DB, none that reads you would give you that description.
Mine is a slooow mind, only working bit wise:)
Vern, you better explain that one?(It's suspiciously like two gauchos frying eggs under their sombreros:)And while doing it, assume that my name is Nob.Not that it is (..well maybe?) when you're finished, I hope:)?----Not even I know what I mean here?Ah well:)
Should I be grateful or insulted Vern?
So I will learn something new then.Good.
In which way do they break your ideas?
But there seems to be 'exchange currents' which carry no electric charge and mediate certain types of electroweak interactions?"The electromagnetic interaction is mediated by an exchanged photon γ. Since the photon carries no electric charge, there is no change in charge between the incoming and the outgoing particles. The charged-current weak interaction is mediated by the exchange of a charged intermediate boson, the W+, and thus, for example, an incoming neutral lepton such as the νμ is changed into a charged lepton, the μ−. In the neutral-current weak interactions, the exchanged intermediate boson, the Z0, carries no electric charge (hence the name neutral-current interaction), and thus for example, an incident neutral lepton, such as the νμ, remains an outgoing neutral νμ.

You are herecontent / More Evidence David Broder is Right! Right! Right!
More Evidence David Broder is Right! Right! Right!
Last week I wrote a letter to David Broder about this exchange between him and Tim Russert on Meet the Press:
MR. RUSSERT: David Broder, is it possible for official Washington--the president, Democratic leaders, Republican leaders--to arrive at common ground, a consensus position on Iraq?
MR. DAVID BRODER: It's possible, Tim, but they won't get there by arguing about who did what three years ago. And this whole debate about whether there was just a mistake or misrepresentation or so on is, I think, from the public point of view largely irrelevant. The public's moved past that.
In my letter I inquired what the evidence was for Mr. Broder's assertion. Mr. Broder hasn't seen fit to respond, but I think that's only fair, since it was such a stupid question. Every passing day brings more evidence no one cares about this dumb issue—for instance, this NY Times/CBS poll released yesterday (pdf):
58. How important do you think it is right now for members of Congress to question the Bush Administration about the way the intelligence was used in order to make the case for going to war inIraq-- do you think it is very important, somewhat important, not too important, or not important at all?
56% Very
24% Somewhat
9% Not too
9% Not at all
You see? An overwhelming 18% majority of the population think this should be ignored, while a tiny 80% minority disagree. The danger, of course, is that this small, irrelevant 80% minority will somehow gain influence in our political process. However, I think we can sleep soundly with heroes such as David Broder protecting our great republic.

It's called wishful thinking (the substitution of preferred imaginary viewpoints for "reality-based" observation and analysis) and it's a mandatory job skill for all politicians and their associates, regardless of party affiliation.

I also wrote him an email about this, and likewise, no response.
Can't say I expected it, but at least he got some backlash for his comments and knows people are listening.

Aislynn: Its not a myth.
Canada, its nice...kind of. Not as awesome as France once was...but its a close second. Since being changed I have forfilled my life goal of seeing the world. Now I am on the west coast of the continenent. At the moment now I am looking see if a certain rumor is true that I heard from another vampire. She said there was a place where a lot of immortal creatures like us are hiding, well not hiding, but living! A place pretty much free of humans besides the ones they have to feed off of.
I went in search of this place that guy called "ShadowLand" how appropriate? I ran into some vampire hunters and had to make a quick break for it. Not sure where I ran, but I ran into a sign, large and wooden that said, "Shadow Land" in about every language known to man, or immortal.
There was a large house, with four random mini modern cottages surrounding it. Everything looked so clean, pristine, and new.
I walked in the large double doors, and saw a clip board attached to the wall. There was a list for the cottages outside, and the apparent rooms in the house. I signed my name down for one of the cottages, but decided to just wander the house.

Mmmmm, peppers! Probably gave those chipmunks a nice little snack.
Once I used cayenne pepper to try and deter my dogs from a hole they'd
been digging in the lawn. I think there was a gopher; they'd snuffle in
the hole, then dig, I'd put the dirt back in but to no avail. So I used
quite a lot of cayenne in the hole figuring they'd get a good snootful
of cayenne and then leave it alone.
Next thing I see is the both of them licking up the cayenne from the
lawn. I know it was hot, I grew it myself. Didn't bother them at all.
Oh yes, and should you grow your own cayenne and want to make cayenne
powder...don't grind it up INSIDE the house. Just a suggestion. :-)

Subject: [CHAT] spicy critters
For years we were told that red pepper or pepper sauce was a deterrent
to unwanted critters. We must have used gallons of pepper sauce mixed
with old eggs to spray for deer, and mixed red pepper flakes with the
bird seed to deter squirrels. We had concluded some time ago that this
was some sort of urban legend, and didn't really work - especially after
Chet observed deer licking up the run-off of his egg/pepper spray, and
squirrels didn't stay away from the feeders.
Well, last fall I decided the red pepper ristra that had hung in my
for some time was looking a bit tired and dusty, and gave it to Chet to
dispose of, thinking he would take it to the compost bin. He hung in in
the screened porch/shed behind the garage where we keep tools and
junk in general. This spring as the snow began to melt in the breezeway
I saw unidentified vegetable parts in the slush. When we were finally
able to get to the porch, it became clear. Some critters - most likely
chipmunks, since I know they can get in there easily - had climbed up
the screen to reach the ristra, and it has been totally taken apart.
seeds are scattered all over the place, and pieces of the peppers are
dragged around inside and outside. The ones outside in the snow have
lost their color, which is why I didn't recognize them at first.
it seems that whatever critters these were really have a taste for hot

This genre-bending serum uses a patented dual-phase technology to give skin double the benefits. Like a topnotch primer, it instantly hydrates skin, shrinks pores, and masks flaws. At the same time, the peptide-packed formula exfoliates and repairs skin cells for lasting anti-aging benefits. Plus, the double helix style tube is pretty nifty.
This is the most amazing serum! I received a sample in my subscription box and couldn't wait to buy a full sized one. One little pump covers my face (I use a second one for my neck and chest) and is the perfect primar for the day. I use it after I cleanse in the morning to smooth my skin which can look bumpy from large pores. It seems to sooth wrinkles as well. My face feels like silk all day. This is definitely a beauty serum which I never want to be without!5
I love the DDF brand and after getting a sample of this serum I am even more pleased with DDF. Okay, so yes the the $85 price tag is very scary but OMG it is so worth the cost. This isn't any ordinary serum, its a moisturizer and primer all in one. Now if you have very dry skin you can still use a moisturizer over this. I however have cut out my primer completely with this, because of its pore minimizing quality there isn't a need for it. I would totally recommend this product for everyone with any skin type.5
I love this stuff. I usually refuse to buy any beauty products that are more than $30 (i'm cheap and on a budget), but I will have to splurge for this. Definitely getting a full size once I wrack up some points. Makes my skin feel silky, and my pore really are less noticeable. I don't know about its wrinkle or aging effectiveness (I'm only 27), but it can't hurt!5

Holter Monitoring is a non-invasive diagnostic test that uses a portable device called a holter monitor. Unlike the common Electrocardiogram that records the heart's electrical activity for a few seconds, the holter monitor allows the electrical activity of the heart to be recorded continuously for 24 to 48 hours.
You are normally required to carry the holter monitor on you all the time while performing your usual daily routine, and to keep a record of your activities. The cardiologist will assess the readings of the holter monitor against your physical daily activity in order to determine any abnormal heartbeats and disorders.
If you suffer from palpitations, fainting and dizziness spells, your doctor may recommend Holter Monitoring to be able correlate these symptoms to your heart rhythm. This test allows transient rhythm disorders of the heart to be detected.
Your cardiologist may recommend Holter Monitoring to assess the electrical activity of your heart under normal activity or following a heart attack. Holter Monitoring also allows the cardiologist to diagnose any heart rhythm abnormalities (including serious arrhythmias), and to monitor the effect of a new heart medicine. It is also useful for monitoring your heart rhythm following a heart procedure to determine if the procedure was successful.

Micky Dolenz

Former child actor Micky Dolenz bloomed into one of the most popular teen idols of the 1960s as drummer and frequent lead vocalist of the Monkees, who successfully made the leap from characters on their eponymous television series (NBC, 1966-69) to an actual chart-topping pop act. Quick-witted and boundlessly energetic, Dolenz garnered the lion's shares of the laughs, in addition to singing some of the group's biggest hits, including "I'm a Believer," "Pleasant Valley Sunday," "Last Train to Clarksville" and many others. Like most of his bandmates, Dolenz fell on hard times after the show and band collapsed in the mid-1970s, but he quickly rebounded as a television director in England. In the late 1980s, a new wave of Monkee-mania gripped America, spurring Dolenz to reunite with his former musical partners for a string of successful tours. Some four decades after the Monkees' initial heyday, Micky Dolenz remained the band's most enthusiastic and accessible member, as well as one of the most accomplished outside of the pop-rock realm.

A Fabled Existence
The only way to experience a group this vast, colorful, and earthbound is to simply just listen. An excessive use of adjectives seems unjust. Faun Fables and its creator, Dawn McCarthy, seamlessly draw from a spiritual and mythological realm to convey world sounds that are entrancing. The expression song telling is at the core of their musical undertakings, whether its through the sheer physicality of a song like In Speed, in which band members hiss, haw, and stomp, or a song like Transit Theme, in which you feel forever stuck on a train in the midst of an unforgiving Russian winter. Their sound is almost meant for a theatrical stage, and their videos hint at what could be in such a setting. The group formed in 1997 and has done well in drawing an eclectic and devoted following throughout the world. In an age of minute-made MySpace musicians/personas, its refreshing to come across an artist as rounded and idiosyncratic as Faun Fables.

Photo gallery: Hacienda League track and field finals
DIAMOND BAR - Heat usually is not conducive to top performances in track and field, but Thursday was an exception.
Temperatures which soared near 100 degrees did little to stop area athletes competing in the Hacienda League finals at Diamond Bar High's Holmes Memoria Stadium.
Bonita's Marissa Scott broke stadium marks in the 800 and 1,600, seven stadium records fell and 10 athletes won two events each.
Also setting stadium records were Diamond Bar's Udodiri Okwandu in the girls 200; Bonita's Mackenzie Landa in the 3,200, Rowland's David Galvez in the 800 and 1,600 and Los Altos' Mark Huizar in the 3,200.
Other double winners were Bonita's Nikki Wheatley in the long jump and triple jump and Devin Rutherford in the 200 and 400; Los Altos' Gabriel Aceves in the 110 and 300 hurdles; Rowland's Devin Thompson in the long jump and triple jump and Desdrith Mejia in the 100 and 300 hurdles; Walnut's Andres Shen in the shot put and discus; Carolyn Nguyen in the discus and pole vault and Okawandu, who also won the 100.
Scott lowered the stadium record by winning the 800 in 2:18.95 and the 1,600 in 5:02.97.
"It went really well," Scott said. "That was my goal today. I wanted to make sure I just ran my races and I felt pretty good that if I did that, I would come out with wins in both (events)."
Landa lived up to the billing as one of the state's top distance runners by winning the 3,200 in a record 11:06.88.
"I just think ran a gutsy, determined race, especially in this heat," Bonita coach Lonnie Carr said. "She's not a real physical girl, but she trains very, very hard. It was a nice pace. I think she tried really hard to go under 11. It backfired a little bit in this heat and eventually got to her.
"But it's a league record and looks very good for CIF."
Galvez won his two distance events in record time. He won the 800 in 1:57.72 and the 1,600 in 4:21.63.
Huizar had an easy time in winning the 3,200 in 9:42.80, and Okwandu breezed in the 200 with a time of 25.55. She also won the 100 in 12.31.
Aceves won the 110 hurdles in 14.98 before being pushed in the 300, where Aceves beat Walnut's Daylon Gomez at the wire in 40.05.
"It feels really great to win twice in one day," Aceves said. "I didn't really think I was going to do it with this heat and running three events.
"In that last race, I felt like I was ahead and then the fatigue started hitting me. I stumbled on that last hurdle and it was all or nothing. We both dived for it, and I guess I made it."
Wheatley won the long jump with a mark of 16 feet, 9 inches and the triple in 37-2.
Thompson also won those events, taking the long jump in 22-1/2 and the triple in 43-11.
Rutherford had a sprint double in winning the 200 in 22.40 and the 400 in 45.54.
Shen took his wins the discus with a throw of 149-6 and the shot put with a mark of 47-5. Nguyen won the discus at 96-5 and the pole vault with a mark of 10 feet.
Mejia won both hurdle events in 15.20 and 46.84, respectively.

Hi all,
I am used to develop using Ultimate++ and I just discovered WideStudio 3.98 under Windows XP/Vista. I started to develop a mysql database related application. All is going well except the connection to the database : I got the message "libwsmysql398.dll not found" under Vista and the same message under XP after getting "no entry found in my_thread_end in libmysql.dll". I do not understand as I have added a WSCvdb component and add <WSCvdb.h> in the source to get the connection. Please describe step by step how to connect to databases.

Three years ago four morons in a yurt high in the Swan Range came up with a real bad idea: a restaurant on Missoula's Westside. So armed with a Panini press, a soup cooker, and a whole lot of moxie, BSB came to be. While we've left the Panini press behind (RIP), we continue to work with the same energy we had at the beginning. Always learning and ever expanding, we expect to remain a stalwart of Westside for years to come.

Aunt Flow
Claire's story
Aunt Flow is a buy one, give one model for tampons. Women can go online, customize her box, and have it delivered to her door. For every box purchased, the woman can choose which organization she would like her give one box to benefit. Essentially, taking care of your flow takes care of her flow.
About the Founder, Claire Coder: Never did Claire think that she would portray the character of a horrendous, once a month, blood-splat. But as Aunt Flow, she can honestly can say that she could not be happier. Founding a social enterprise that would be a sustainable solution to help women have access to feminine hygeine products has been a dream, and with your help, it can become a reality.
This loan is special because:
Kiva staff
More about this loan
Business Description
More than one in seven women, more than 18 million, lived in poverty last year. When budgets are tight, women, families, and shelters conclude that food takes precedent over basic feminine hygiene products. The fact of the matter is, not having these simple necessities can change a woman's life. Young girls do not go to school if they do not have the products they need and women are subjected to wearing multiple layers of clothing because it is often easier to soil garments rather than to purchase proper feminine hygiene products.
Aunt Flow is a sustainable solution to this problem. We are a buy one, give one subscription based model for feminine hygiene products. For every box a woman purchases online, Aunt Flow will donate a box of products to an organization that will distribute the products to women in need. Essentially, taking care of your flow, takes her flow.
Women go online to customize her personal box of feminine hygiene products. Each box will include a total of 18 pieces that can be a combination of varying absorbencies of. She can chose when the box will arrive and the frequency of arrival. Women can also chose the organization she would like her "give one" box to benefit. If a person does not want to opt in to receive products, but wants to "go with the flow" and support his or her local organization, there is an option to give a monetary gift.
Along with supporting communities and empowering women, Aunt Flow is committed to minimizing the cringes when talking about tampons. Let's face it, tampons are a taboo subject for all genders, especially men. To encourage people to talk freely about the monthly visit, Aunt Flow encourages men to participate in videos as "Flow Bros." These videos are informational and humorous for both men and women.
Don't be self conscious about being socially conscious.
What is the purpose of this loan?
Aunt Flow recognizes the importance of feminine hygiene. From education to clean products, we are determined to offer the highest quality of services to all women. All of our tampons are 100% cotton, all natural, FDA regulated, and hypoallergenic. We are committed to educating the population about the monthly visit. Our Tampon Talkand Flow Brovideo series lessen the tabooness of talking about the menstrual cycle in a fun and informative manner. People helping people. Period. "Don't be self conscious about being socially conscious"
This loan will help us make our initial purchase of branded tampons and donate over 100,000 pieces within the first year of operation. This loan will help us successfully launch a sustainable solution to a national problem.
The requested $10,000 will be used in the following ways:
$8000: Purchase of 66,700 100% cotton tampons, 33,000 will be donated to communities across the United States $650: Marketing materials to continue to educate and inspire men and women alike. Materials will promote Aunt Flow's initiative of lessening the tabooness of talking about the menstrual cycle $1350: Trademarking logo and key phrases
Industry: Retail
Years in operation: 6 months – 1 year

If I had a penny for everytime I hear someone tell me that they'll wait for version 3.0 of any Microsoft software that we release before using it, … (you know the rest).
That said, let me try to explain why software is perceived to be useful or good after version 3.0. (This is my personal take, so until someone provides me with scientific proof otherwise, I'll stick with this).
First off, we all agree and we all understand, that there is no such thing as a perfect piece of software. (Don't give me that "Hello, World" app crap). Useful or good software is far from perfect, both in terms of features and stability. A properly written, thoroughly tested program can still yield bugs. Let's say for conversation sake, that you did actually build a piece of software that has NO / ZERO bugs (a practical impossibility), users have different needs and wants. Some might want this feature, others do not. So, nobody can build perfect software.
You can summarize it into 3 distinct stages I call Ship, Fix and Mature. This is essentially the first three stages in the life of a new piece of software. Let me explain what I mean.
So let's say you did build a piece of software intended for use by the broad consumer, and your software is complete and tested to your best ability. Bug and feature triage consumes the team who has to rush to ship the product on time. You release it to the world to a large number of eager customers.
Version 1.0 – Ship
Now your software is being used by many people in different environments and needs, some users will encounter issues, that comes in the form of bugs ("wytf isn't this confounded software working") and feature requests ("why can't it do this? or do that?"). You and your team rushes to prioritize fixes/bugs and to ensure those get fixed first leaving the feature requests to a later "version".
You release patches to fix critical issues and start working on the request features. Once complete, you release it as …
Version 2.0 – Fix
Customers download it, buy it, copy it and play with it. Feeling is better, software works as it should and some feature requests have been added.
Up to this point, apart from the first release, there isn't any new innovation. Just compliance.
With all the big issues in control and customers appeased, the team sits back and learns from the experience and starts to brainstorm on features that never occured because they haven't learned how their software affects customers, works in a myriad of environments and changing needs. This is also a time where really cool features are thought about and old features revived.
Team comes out with a set of amazing features to improve the software. Implements it and releases
Version 3.0 – Mature.
Customers find new features fantastic, useful additions, make tasks more productive, easier to use etc. Customers are indeed impressed at this point. (it won't be at least another cycle of 3 versions before the Good Enough mentality steps in).
Most popular case in point, Windows.
- Windows 1.0 was built as a first foray into the GUI world. Severely limited number of features, had bugs and didn't work as plan.
- Windows 2.0, was basically Windows 1.0 made right. Still unusable. If you're like me, I stayed in DOS at this time.
- Windows 3.0 / 3.11. This was basically the version that told the world, that GUI on the PC works. Start learning how to use the mouse.
Another case, .NET Framework.
- .NET Framework 1.0 was necessary but bug ridden. It proved a point that managed code was the way to go.
- .NET Framework 1.1 fixed many issues esp. with regards to security and performance
- .NET Framework 2.0 was a godsend.
Another, Biztalk Server.
- Biztalk Server 2000, proof of concept. Great technology. Unscalable.
- Biztalk Server 2002, delivered customer features, simpler management, still difficult to create orchestration
- Biztalk Server 2004. Fantastic release with integration into Visual Studio and .NET.
Even applies to hardware,
- Ipod 1G (interesting), 2G (this thing works) 3G (Bam! now with USB)
- Ipod Mini (cool)- Shuffle (yeah cool) – Nano (wow)
I'm sure you can find a lot more cases out there that has a similar growing pain. Nowadays, developers change their versioning to ensure that when they release their software as version 1.0, it would have matured, through the use of CTP / Alpha builds, Beta and Release Candidates (RC), or variants of that same concept. They've also changed how software is built by building small and constantly fixing and adding new features in bite sized chunks. It always makes for a mature and very stable product.
My advice to tech companies, be persistent. Don't give up until you've tried it 3 times.
So there.

This advice applies to Scotland. Change country
Information for prisoners and their families
This information applies to Scotland only
Going into prison or leaving prison: practical arrangements
When you go into prison or leave prison, both you and your family will have to make arrangements about a range of practical concerns, including:-
- housing
- children
- relationship with your partner
- social security benefits
- employment
- money and debts
- possessions and property.
You will need specialist advice about these issues. There are a number of specialist organisations which can give advice about these matters. For details of organisations that can help, see under heading Useful organisations.
Legal advice
If you want further information about the legal situation, for example whether you can appeal against the prison sentence, you should consult a solicitor. You should usually consult the solicitor who represented you before you went into prison. All prisoners are allowed access to their legal advisers at 'any reasonable time'.
Prison visits
How to arrange a visit
The rules about visiting someone in prison vary according to whether you are:
- an untried prisoner awaiting trial, or
- a convicted prisoner whose case has been decided.
As an untried prisoner you are normally allowed one 30 minute visit every week day. Arrangements for visits vary between prisons and the visitor should check in advance what the rules are.
As a convicted prisoner you are normally allowed one 30 minute visit each week or one two hour visit every 28 days. You will be given information when you arrive at the prison about how to organise a visit. In most cases the prisoner will have to complete a form saying who the visitor will be and the visitor will be sent a pass which they must bring with them to the prison.
These are basic minimum rules for how many visits you can have but some prisons will also allow longer or more frequent visits. If you are a long way from your family and friends, you may be able to save up visits. Special arrangements can be made if you are seriously ill or if there is an urgent domestic crisis in your family.
The governor can refuse permission for someone to visit you if they think it is necessary, for example, for the prevention of crime. If you think that a prison visit has been refused unfairly, you can make a complaint.
Individual prisons will be able to advise about the rules which apply to them. Specialist organisations may also be able to give advice about visits, see under heading Useful organisations.
If you would like visits but do not usually get them the prison chaplain or social worker may be able to arrange for a volunteer prison visitor to visit you.
Taking things in to the prison
There are strict rules on gifts that can be given to you and your visitor should check with the prison what s/he can take to the prison before the visit.
Financial help for visitors
Financial help is available from the Assisted Prison Visits Unit (APVU) to allow close relatives and partners in the UK to visit prisoners. The APVU scheme covers visits to all convicted, remand prisoners, civil prisoners and people held in prison under the 1971 Immigration Act. A close relative is defined as a husband, wife, civil partner, parent, brother, sister or child. This includes adoptive and step brothers, sisters, parents and children, and half-brothers and half-sisters. It does not include parents-in-law, brothers-in-law or sisters-in-law. Claims as an unmarried 'partner' will only be allowed where the relationship meets certain requirements of proof, for example, documentary evidence of having lived together for at least four months. This includes lesbian and gay partners who are not in a civil partnership.
If you are the prisoner's sole visitor, the costs of your visit may be allowed, whatever the relationship.
To qualify for financial help from the APVU for visiting a prisoner you must also be:-
- receiving income support, income-based jobseeker's allowance or Pension Credit; or
- receiving Child Tax Credit and/or Working Tax Credit with a disability element, and have income below a certain amount. You should check with the APVU to find out the current year's income figure
- in receipt of a Department of Health certificate (HC2 or HC3).
If you are on a low income, but you are not covered by the list above, you may still be able to get financial help, but you will need to see a specialist adviser for details of how to claim.
The address of the APVU is:-
The Assisted Prison Visits Unit
PO Box 2152
Tel: 0300 063 2100 (Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pm)
Textphone: 0845 304 0800
Email: email@example.com
What can be claimed
You can obtain help from the APVU for a visit as soon as someone is imprisoned. It will pay for an assisted visit every 14 days. If the prison governor agrees it is necessary, it may also be possible to get financial help with the cost of extra visits, for example, if the prisoner is seriously ill.
You can claim the following expenses:-
- travel by public transport. Taxi fares will only be allowed if there is no public transport and no transport provided by the prison, or if taxi fares would be cheaper than public transport, or if there is a medical reason
- travel by private car or motorbike, if this can be justified, for example, if there is no suitable public transport, or if you have a number of small children
- if the journey cannot be completed in a day, you can claim for the cost of bed and breakfast. You may need evidence from the prison that an overnight stay is necessary
- meals, if you are going to be away from home for more than five hours
- all costs of taking dependent children including travel, meals and overnight accommodation, where necessary. If you are taking a prisoner's child on a visit and you are not the parent of the child, you can apply for the same expenses as the parent would be entitled to
- if the children have to be looked after at home while the visit is made, the costs of any child care can be paid.
How to claim
Your claim should normally be made once every four weeks in advance of the visit. You can claim for two visits at the same time. You should make the first claim on Form F2022, which should be available from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) or the APVU by ringing 0121 626 2206. You should return the form 14 days before the visit to the APVU.
If your visit has already taken place, you may still make a claim for the costs, provided that you meet all the conditions and the claim is made within four weeks of your visit.
How it is paid
The cost of fares will usually be covered by a travel warrant. This will be made out in your name, and will expire on the same day as the VO unless an overnight stay in the middle of the journey is necessary. The cost of food, meals and petrol will be paid by girocheque. If you have borrowed the money to pay your travel costs, the claim should still be made by you, but the giro can be made out to the person from whom you borrowed the money. Only in exceptional circumstances will you be paid by cash, for example, if payment is very late.
If your claim was refused or you feel that it was wrongly assessed, you can appeal.
If you wish to appeal against a refused claim, you should consult a specialist adviser.
Letters, emails and telephone calls
You are allowed to send out and receive as many letters as you wish. Letters may be opened and read if the prison officer suspects that the letter relates to criminal activity or if it is in the interests of security, even if the letter is being sent to your solicitor or a court.
You can buy cardphones for use on prison phones. Each prison will have different rules about how the phones can be used and there will be restrictions on the times that you can make phone calls. All telephone calls are recorded and may be monitored by prison staff.
If you are having a problem with letters or phone calls, you should consult an experienced adviser. For details of organisations that may be able to advise, see under heading Useful organisations.
You don't have any rights to send or receive emails in prison. Some prisons operate the Email a Prisoner service, which enables friends and family to send you emails, which will be printed off and delivered to you by prison staff. More information about the Email a Prisoner Service can be found on its website at www.emailaprisoner.com.
Complaints about treatment in prison
Complaints about medical treatment
The NHS assumed responsibility for providing prison healthcare on 1 November 2011. This includes medical, mental health, nursing, dental and ophthalmic services. Complaints about medical treatment in prison from 1 November 2011 are dealt with by the NHS complaints procedure.
Until 1 November 2011 primary healthcare services in Scottish prisons were the responsibility of the Scottish Prison Service (SPS). Complaints about medical treatment in prison before 1 November 2011 are dealt with by the Scottish Prison Service. If the internal SPS complaints procedure does not settle the issue, it can be taken to the Scottish Cabinet Secretary for Justice.
Independent prison monitors
Independent prison monitors are a group of lay people who:-
- act as a 'watchdog' to make sure the prison is properly run
- hear and investigate any applications or complaints from prisoners
- inspect from time to time the prison, food, and the way the prison is run, and make recommendations for any changes that they think are appropriate.
A prisoner can ask to speak to an independent prison monitor at any time. There is a freephone number in prison, or a request form can be handed in. You do not need to give a reason for asking to see an independent prison monitor, you only have to tell the independent prison monitor your name and your prison location. You do not have the right to see an independent prison monitor within a given time period. The interview with the independent prison monitor will take place out of the sight and hearing of prison officers if both you and the independent prison monitor want this. Information given to an independent prison monitor may be passed on to the prison staff.
Other complaints
Depending on the nature of the complaint, you should first consider using the prison's internal complaints procedure. If your complaint is of a sensitive nature you could complain to someone outside the prison for example your MSP. If you are not happy with the response you get to your complaint, the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman (SPSO) can consider complaints about most aspects of a prisoner's treatment in prison. There is a fact sheet about making a complaint to the SPSO on the SPSO website at www.spso.org.uk.
For more information about making a complaint to the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman, see How to use an ombudsman or commissioner in Scotland.
If you are complaining about race discrimination you can make your complaint to the Race Relations Manager in the prison or use the prison's complaints procedure.
If you need more information about how to complain you should consult an experienced adviser for example, at a Citizens Advice Bureau - where to get advice.
Useful organisations

by Brett Larner
Two-time defending champion Tetiana Gamera ran a 2:22:09 Ukrainian national record to win a third-straight Osaka International Women's Marathon in the race's 34-year history. Gamera went to the front heading out of the park around Osaka's Nagai Stadium and onto the roads before 5 km, challenged only by the last woman to win Osaka before her, 2012 champ Risa Shigetomo (Team Tenmaya). In that race Shigetomo ran 2:23:23, more than 30 seconds up on Gamera's 2:23:58 best from her 2013 win, but without a sub-2:30 from Shigetomo since then the odds did not look to be in her favor.
Shigetomo and Gamera pushed the pace to near 2:22-flat while a chase pack of eight led by 38-year-old Jelena Prokopcuka (Latvia) and 39-year-old Mari Ozaki (Team Noritz) ran closer to 2:24-25 pace. With a sub-2:22:30 requirement for auto selection to the 2015 Beijing World Championships team Shigetomo and Gamera hit the half in 1:11:15, but at the 180' turn just after halfway Gamera threw in a 3:16 km that dropped Shigetomo for good.
In her three previous runs at Osaka Gamera dropped negative splits with the fastest second half and final 2.195 km in the field. Despite running the first half 25 seconds faster than her half marathon PB this time she somehow found the drive to do it again, covering the back half in 1:10:54 and the last 2.195 km in 7:18, both the best in the field, for the win. Only Japanese national record holder Mizuki Noguchi (Team Sysmex) had ever run faster to win Osaka, with a 2:21:18 on the tougher old version of the course back in 2003.
Shigetomo didn't initially slow, simply unable to follow Gamera's sheer power. Behind her, Prokopcuka and Japan's Chieko Kido (Canon AC Kyushu), a training partner of 2014 100 km World Championships silver medalist Chiyuki Mochizuki making her marathon debut as part of Osaka's new Next Heroine development program, worked together to close the gap to Shigetomo. When they pulled within 40 seconds Prokopcuka threw in a surge that got rid of Kido and put her ahead of Shigetomo into 2nd just after 30 km.
Shigetomo, in obvious discomfort, slowed, but Kido stalled as she was hit with the last 10 km of a marathon for the first time and stopped advancing. Prokopcuka pushed on for 2nd in 2:24:07, on at least one list the fastest time ever by a 38-year-old woman, while behind her Shigetomo bit down and hung on to 3rd, her 2:26:39 time not a good marker of how gritty her run really was. Not surprisingly far off the Federation's Beijing standard, Shigetomo was still faster than the 2:26:57 winning time run by Tomomi Tanaka (Team Daiichi Seimei) at the Yokohama International Women's Marathon selection race in November. Barring a spectacular Nagoya Women's Marathon in March the Federation's selection procedure will likely happen inside a black box, but considering that Shigetomo's coach Yutaka Taketomi is in charge of the Federation's women's marathoning program you have to figure she has a leg up in the process.
Kido looked set for 4th but was overtaken late in the game by Yuko Watanabe (Team Edion), a promising first-timer two years ago in Osaka who has struggled since then. Like Shigetomo's run, Watanabe's 2:28:36 was a semi-comeback. Kido came through in 5th in 2:29:08, the top first-timer and as expected leading the Next Heroine contingent. Ozaki took 7th in 2:29:56, missing the Japanese age 39 record by seconds but happy with a return to sub-2:30 territory.
In the accompanying Osaka Half Marathon, 2014 Copenhagen World Half Marathon bronze medalist Sally Chepyego (Kenya/Team Kyudenko) ran together with teammate Misaki Kato, both breaking the course record with Chepyego getting the win over Kato by 6 seconds in 1:09:43. For Chepyego it was a solid tune-up for her marathon debut next month in Tokyo. For Kato it was her first time under 70 minutes after a promising 1:10:44 debut at the 2013 Great North Run with support from JRN. The men's race in the half marathon was also between teammates as 2012 winner Takaaki Koda (Team Asahi Kasei) returned to the top with a 1:04:02 win by 4 seconds over Kenichi Shirashi. Like Chepyego, Shiraishi is also scheduled to run Tokyo.

hunger for something more.

I am stony, silent and simmering,

A general Lee-Yang theorem for one-component and multicomponent ferromagnets

- Lieb, E.H. & Sokal, A.D. Commun.Math. Phys. (1981) 80: 153. doi:10.1007/BF01213009
We show that any measure on ℝn possessing the Lee-Yang property retains that property when multiplied by a ferromagnetic pair interaction. Newman's Lee-Yang theorem for one-component ferromagnets with general single-spin measure is an immediate consequence. We also prove an analogous result for two-component ferromagnets. ForN-component ferromagnets (N ≧ 3), we prove a Lee-Yang theorem when the interaction is sufficiently anisotropic.
