In October of 2010, members of the NYC Rocky Horror Picture Show cast were invited to attend a preview screening of the Rocky Horror-themed episode...
The Denton Delinquents was started in September of 2006 in Portland, Oregon, and remained at their original venue for nearly six years before making the decision to move to their current theatre in Vancouver, Washington.
On hiatus for nearly a year while they negotiated with FOX to get the license to show the movie and perform in their theatre, they have settled just 12 miles from their original start, which is still home to a cast. The Delinquents used to allow all ages to join, but in their new location cast membership is limited to 18+, though their shows continue to be all-ages. The majority of the Delinquents have been around for at least a year or more, and they really love what they do - and it shows! An incredibly dedicated bunch, they perform at The Kiggins Theatre in Vancouver, Washington on the 4th Saturday of every month.

Hi there,
I've never actually started a cast from scratch, but I did take over and currently manage the Delaware cast, so hopefully I can be of some help.
You should have no issue with using RHPS assets on facebook or flyers. The worst that can happen is that FOX would say, "Hey, stop that", but it is such a small blip on the radar and in the long run would be making them money anyway. If you are going to use Rocky fan art please be sure to talk to the artist first to get permission. I've been pushing lately to stop the spread of uncredited art shared throughout the community.
Yes, you will need to get the rights to project the movie. If you perform at a movie theatre generally they can handle securing the rights. Instructions for who to contact if you do it on your own are available at www.rockypedia.org/Basics_about_the_RHPS...a_showing_of_RHPS.3F
If you have not yet approached a theatre here is a little bit on information on doing that www.rockypedia.org/RHPS_Casts#How_can_I_...y_cast_to_perform.3F

An open letter to Tom Chiarella
Dear Thomas Chiarella,
I am confused on a certain matter. I was hoping you would be kind enough to clear it up for me, if you have the time.
Why are you the Esquire Fiction Editor?
While I can picture your life, and I have read your work, and the series of events that led up to your position aren't hard to fathom, none of these perspectives impart understanding so I pose the question to you directly.
First, if you will permit me, a writing exercise.
As I imagine it, this is your life:
In high school you are head of the literary club. Heedless of its awfulness you produce a torrent of fiction and poetry. Work you now admit is worthless. You occasionally do this at parties with a self-deprecating slash of wit when deflecting questions pertaining to your current writing project.
You haven't touched it in months. The One That Matters.
These early attempts are no sin, because all writers are awful at first and you are no exception. This early awfulness is a rite of passage and you feel that these failed attempts have made you strong. They prepared you for a long life of rejection as you pursue your artistic vision in the margins of a shallow and fickle cultural consciousness.
But, graduating high school, flush with a sense of destiny and the feeling of largeness at your power to create, you check the undergrowth of greatness and quail.
The writers we remember burn these early pieces of offal and the great editors pretend they never had them. You save them. At the bottom of some trunk, in the back of some filing cabinet, and in the back of your head these things to you are still precious gems for all their wretchedness.
Of the many compromises you will make, this is the first of significance.
Packing these bits in an old binder you apply to a college with a reputation built on its English department, and you set your foot to the first cobble of a long and oblivious road.
You consider yourself a mild nihilist, on your good days an existential theist, and you tell yourself that you are writing for yourself first and that as long as you have written to your own high standard the world can rust to its bones and you will be satisfied. Impermanence is the only permanent. But in moments of crushing personal honesty and sobriety, between cocktails and the book launchings of friends and highballs at The Red Key, when it's late and the anti-depressants and the benzodiazepams wear thin, the lack of real recognition rots in your gut like a sour meal. And you do not know why you are not loved.
You tell yourself that no one will ever be as harsh a critic of your work as you. That as long as you maintain this mental discipline with the assiduity of a Gregorian monk you will always be able to keep the knives at bay. It is unfortunate but you have always managed to successfully lie to yourself in this regard.
As a meek and quiet literary student in that respectable English department you cling first to the edges, not speaking at the round tables, sitting wide eyed while absorbing literary theory. You churn out an endless number of exercises on dialog and pacing and character and are required to, terror of terrors, read your work aloud in front of the class. The other students only feel confident enough to tell you what they think you did well, but the professor is a relentless deconstructionist and the taking apart feels like a violation. You think being taken apart is hard, but you do not realize it is being done kindly.
Before too long you turn in your first short story.
It isn't pretty, you think at the time. That professor is ruthless. Red ink everywhere, that's all you can see for days, blind to the encouraging tone of the whole thing.
As you continue to write and turn in short stories the buffered voice of this criticism becomes evident. Your classmates feel free to vigorously disagree with the way you've experimented with your voice but they never tell you what you've done is wrong or bad, only that they disagree. Every once in awhile your professor now drops the most tantalizing praise for the most unexpected of your works.
What you do not realize is that you have begun writing to committee, and that you do not know what you are doing or why you are doing it only that other people are telling you they like it. So you believe them, but have no real faith or understanding in what you are doing.
Soon you are a master at synthesizing group taste into 500-word flash fiction and not too long after that you are able to predict which way the literary herd will turn before it does. You establish yourself as something to keep an eye on in the faculty lounge. You make friends that will in later life, when you are in your forties and drowning, come through with a gig at Esquire after you land a writer-in-residence holiday at a very prestigious college. Criticism diminishes. Endless praise is given, only your strengths highlighted.
You are confident and you are something, and right when you have attained status and attention, you graduate. Out on your ass in the real world you attempt to make it as a working writer, but the humiliating compromises at the lowly rags you'd have to entertain just to scrape out a living is too shameful a proposition to face. None of your classmates who will later throw you bones at the upscale magazines they edit have yet attained those positions.
You return to the cozy arms of academia and go for your Masters.
In your early thirties you knock up your fiancé. When you pay for her abortion because you aren't ready for children it ends the relationship. The two of you pride yourselves on staying friends. The abortion was a blessing in disguise though you only ever speak of it with a carefully calculated sorrow intended to look as if it has faded but never completely died.
With the woman out of your life, in your early thirties, you are able to devote yourself entirely to the tutelage of your mentor, a professor who is known for having published a number of minor works to the small critical acclaim of friends in similar positions at other universities. The casual sex is low hanging fruit for a maturing lion such as yourself.
Finally, in your early thirties, your mentor deems you a worthy doppelganger and he introduces you to the world. He champions your first collection of short stories all the way to publication. Oh, what a day. It's true everyone admits it, a collection of short stories isn't going to make you rich, but it has been received with incredible warmth by the critics and you never got into this for the money anyway.
A fellow MFA falls hopelessly in love with you, she convinced you will soon gain literary stardom and you convinced she will always ceaselessly admire and praise your work.
Ten years grind by.
Those first few aren't so bad. You write an incredible novel while you're in the P.h.D. program but after three years your agent can't place it and your spirit is flagging. You've been waiting on that book to publish before starting a new one — though you've cranked out a few short stories here and there — hoping the praise would fuel you, but faced with this vast emptiness instead you virtually stop writing. You never prepared yourself for this emptiness.
In the classes you now TA you think that you are a vicious destroyer of bad work, using your bitterness and rage as fuel. In reality you can't help but be a product of your environment and your criticism is quite tame. You persist in your ruthless mission. There are too many bad writers in the world you tell yourself, and you try and fail to crush them all for a few years while you're blocked because they are the competition in the end
Student loans add up and one day the bills come due. The metallic taste of failure won't kick off the back of your throat and your marriage is suffering. A friend with a solid agent who's concerned for your well being convinces you to write a how-to write book. It's a solid paycheck, they tell you, and other greater writers have made what appear to be more critical compromises along the way. Don't sweat it, just write the book and pay some of those damn bills.
And suddenly it's working again. You're writing! The words are coming!
True it's not fiction but my god it feels good to have those words flowing regular again. To concentrate on a sentence. To savor the satisfaction that comes with communicating a thought in an artful and understandable way.
You ignore the voice that tells you this is the wrong way to go about it and you write the damn book. It pays the damn bills. It dawns on you: your old chums are now editors at glossy magazines and there's a tidy living to be made writing non-fiction. Now that you don't have to dirty yourself with plebeian rags you can face the prospect of non-fiction, and here and there thanks to friends, you're beginning to place fiction again.
Once more bills, and once more you ward them off. This time with a golf book. Golf is one of your passions, one might say a meditative wellspring from which you derive great inner peace. So thoroughly are you ensconced in this life of comfort and ambivalence, you can barely remember the bright eyed idealist of twenty whose weak convictions would have been inflamed at the suggestion of such a book just enough to sneer it down.
Still placing short stories with the liberal help of connections, you land yourself a writer-in-residence gig at at a very prestigious university. From there it is only a few drinks to the Esquire Fiction Editor position, where you become a purveyor of mediocrity.
You figure this position is the perfect launching pad for your own doppelgangers. You are convinced that they will succeed where you failed, that it's mostly dumb luck even with all the brilliance and talent and hard work in the world, and you cling to the hope that the one who breaks through the glass ceiling will bring you along.
So, Mr. Chiarella, I'm confused.
Why are you Fiction Editor at one of the best magazines in the world?
I have sent this to you as a fellow writer. The difference between us is that I will one day be great. Though you will do your best to forget this letter, it will crop up from time to time when you least expect it. You will wonder who I am and it will stalk the periphery of your waking mind.
Know only that I will be great beyond what you can hope to attain.
From time to time I will type your name into a search engine and I will smile at your continued tepidity. I will be there experiencing it digitally. Your lack of recognition will comfort me and affirm my belief that ultimately the world rewards excellence. As I claw and rend my way through a deadly Universe with only my ambition and talent and skill and none of your advantages, I will think back on the many rejections and among them I will use the knowledge that I haunt the failed dreams behind yours to great satisfaction.
It will be a lifelong pleasure.
It's a shame. With all the time in the world, you produce nothing of lasting value for it.

Implants have made me feel more self confident since I lost 37kgs after having my first child. There has been a few problems though.. the double bubble on the first set and on this set (high profile 465cc smooth silicone), my right implant rotating & feeling like there is a bubble moving around in it. Also on the left breast, there is a slightly tender area at about 1 o'clock which has sought of developed over the last few months, with a few small lumps there. I saw my GP and she thinks it is just where the implant ends and is scar tissue from where the pocket has been made and that the small bumps are limph nodes? Also I am starting to see ripples in the left breast.. I thought this shouldn't happen when you get smooth textured implants?I had breast implants originally under the muscle approx 3 & 1/2 years ago which formed a double bubble so I had them redone a year ago. I woke up 2wks ago, put a bra on & noticed there was something wrong.. I could feel a big bubble in my right breast moving all over the place and a part of the implant forming a bulge out the right hand side of my breast. It has now settled down a bit, but I noticed when looking at the side profile, whilst the left is convex and spherical, the right one is flat on the top half & you can feel a bulge around the whole bottom of the breast under the nipple as though the implant has rotated half upside down. Where the base of the implant should be against my chest, it looks like the flat part is at the top half of my breast. I have already had these reconstructed & replaced once a year ago. I am going back to see the surgeon next week... Should the implant be able to move around/dislodge like this? Is it common? I haven't done anything out of the usual and there definately is something seriously wrong, I can feel & see it. If this is another fault, should I have to be the one to fork out the fee's for the hospital & anethaestist (approx. $2,000) once again? Your opinions would be appreciated. Thanks, Larissa.

I''ve had three surgeries.The first in 93 was botched(dropped, 8 inch scar!),repaired in 98(Dr Core),amazing, salines again.Left deflated Dec2001,replaced by Dr Core Feb 2002.Dec 2009,rt deflated, this time I had them replaced with anatomical gummy bears(no more ruptures).Three weeks after surgery, I woke up and left one had flipped(round side up).No idea why it flipped.I had my support bra on,I sleep mostly on my right side .I've followed my surgeon's advice of trying to massage it back into place, but it doesn't work(placed inside a pocket under muscle).I need to return to Dominican Republic(Dr K.Camilo, excellent job,5500$ with 7 night stay all inclusive plus flight) for repositioning.It doesn't look too different but I'm very self concious.You can't tell the difference with right side when I'm wearing a bra.Gummy bears feel completely natural, I don't feel water sloshing around.

I believe I have a problem that is somewhat like this. I can feel the "edge" of an implant bubbling out of the right, lower side (had an under-muscle implant). I am interested to hear what your doctor says. Best of luck to you.

Children's Miracle Network Telethon Broadcast May 30 and 31 on WIXT News Channel 9
Central New Yorkers are invited to join the excitement when the 14th Annual Central New York Children's Miracle Network Telethon is broadcast from WIXT News Channel 9 beginning Saturday, May 30, at 8 p.m., and continuing through Sunday, May 31, at 7 p.m. The Telethon is part of a national effort by the Osmond Foundation to generate funds to benefit hospitalized children worldwide. The Children's Miracle Network, presented locally by the Health Science Center Foundation at Syracuse, Inc., and WIXT, with radio station 93Q as a promotional sponsor, is unique in that all money raised locally remains in Central New York to benefit the children who receive their care at University Hospital of the Health Science Center and at Crouse Hospital.
Since the Telethon was first broadcast to the Central New York audience in 1985, more than $5 million has been raised to enhance pediatric patient care and medical research at University and Crouse Hospitals.
Local segments of the Telethon will be hosted live from the WIXT studios by News Channel 9 personalities Carrie Lazarus, Rod Wood, Doug Logan, Dave Eichorn, Dan Cummings, and Christie Casciano.
There will be live remote coverage from University Hospital on Sunday, May 31. 93Q personalities Amy Robbins and Ted Long will also make appearances during the broadcast. Representatives from area business, corporations, health car facilities and community groups will visit the News Channel 9 studio to present their contributions during the Telethon.
In addition to fundraising, the Telethon shows the many ways University and Crouse Hospital provides health and medical care to children. The Telethon features "miracle" children who have received life-saving medical care. Featured among the 1998 Miracle Moments are: Ryan Mitchell of Utica, Steven Lounderville of Clayton, Ryan Zlomek of Binghamton, John DeNicola of Canastota, and John Giles, Jr. of Syracuse. Viewers will also be reintroduced to a few "Miracle Moment" children spotlighted in past Telethons.

Growing up I always thought true love was red roses, dates on Saturday nights, little block box that held expensive things, and always knowing what to say. I thought true love was a kiss in the rain, deep explanations, and the perfect story. But now that I'm older I've realized it's not like that at all.
See because true love for me is ugly snapchats, and peeing while you're on the phone. True love is kissing at 6 AM despite the morning breath and singing at the top of your lungs. It's saying all the wrong things, at all the wrong moments. It's sarcasm and being honest even when it hurts. It's late hours of the night when it's been a long day and it's no make up and bad hair. It's tears from laughter, it's tears from sadness and it's nothing like any storybook you've ever read. It's never running out of things to talk about, and it's being comfortable in the silence of things. True love is watching The Titanic though you swore you never would. It's getting mad over stupid things. It's "you're an idiot," and "you're a little shit" and knowing you're so lucky to hear those every day. It's spilling your feelings at 4 AM when you should be asleep. It's that song you hear on the radio that always makes you smile. It's the worst story you could imagine, but thank God it worked out anyways. True love is never losing the magic. True love is not leaving when things get hard.

1. When a boy who leaves goosebumps on every inch of your skin tries to play you his favorite song, don't let him. He'll get it stuck in your head and under your fingertips and when he leaves, you won't be able to listen to it without feeling like you're choking.
2. Don't let him touch you all over no matter how much you want to feel him against you. Leave a few spots untouched so that when you're sleeping alone again, at least your left wrist and an inch of your right hip won't sting with the remaining burn of his mouth.
3. Don't let him break your ribs.
4. Don't watch the sunset with him. He'll poison it. You won't be able to look at the sky without swallowing a mouthful of him.
5. Don't mistake wasps for butterflies. Sometimes when you feel your stomach flutter and your hands start to shake it's pain, not love.
6. Just because he tells you he loves you doesn't mean he's going to stay.
7. It's okay to delete his number after he kisses the pretty girl he met when he was drunk. It's okay to leave when he hurts you. You don't have to keep falling into him.
8. When he tells you that you're beautiful, try to remember that you were beautiful before him too.
9. Just because he reads and smokes cigarettes and talks about the stars doesn't mean he's your soulmate.
10. After you kiss him, remember to wash your mouth out right away so he doesn't burn into your tongue.
11. He'll kiss you in the rain and take you to little coffee shops. He'll brush your hair out of your eyes and kiss your nose. He'll grab your waist and whisper in your ear but six months later you'll find yourself drunk texting him that you miss him and he won't respond.
12. Your heart is going to break a million times. It's going to feel like the world is falling apart around you. Your lungs will stop working some nights. You find yourself grabbing at your bones trying to hold yourself together. You're going to feel like you're dying. It's going to be okay. You'll find someone else to kiss you goodnight." —

Micheal Sam Signs With Dallas Cowboys Practice Squad
Micheal Sam, the first openly-gay player in the NFL, has joined the Dallas Cowboys practice squad.
Micheal Sam, the first openly-gay player in the NFL, has joined the Dallas Cowboys practice squad.
We are proud to announce that NewsTalk 1290 AM will be the new broadcast home of the Dallas Cowboys in the Wichita Falls area for the 2014 season.
The 'Boys are back on the air beginning tonight!
From the start of the game at AT&T Stadium, it was apparent that the Dallas Cowboys and the Denver Broncos left the defenses in the locker rooms. The fans were in for a helluva show.
George Strait may not be an NFL football player, but he's hitting the field with the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday (Sept. 8) during their season opener against the New York Giants. The question is, will he wear a cowboy hat ... or football gear?
The Dallas Cowboys come into the 2013 season looking for a change - a change that includes seeing the team get just their second playoff win since 1996. Dallas quarterback Tony Romo will play a large factor into whether or no
The Dallas Cowboys are celebrating with leaders of the Dallas suburb of Frisco and the Frisco Independent School District after approval was given to build a $115 million indoor stadium and relocate the team headquarters and training facility location to a 91-acre area of land in Frisco located on the northwest corner of the Dallas North Tollway and Warren Parkway.
The Dallas Cowboys are probably the NFL franchise most associated with the sexy female form, thanks to their legendary cheerleaders. Now "America's Team" is encouraging its fans to take some of this sexiness home by opening the first Victoria's Secret store ever in a sports venue.

Lift ALL the weights!
October 8, 2012
My husband has recently started using the weight machines at the Y. He wants to build strength and muscle mass as quickly as possible, while hopefully also losing some fat. What is the best strategy if we assume that for the time being, he is not going to switch to free weights?
My husband occasionally gets bursts of fitness enthusiasm. His current fitness love affair is with the weight machines at the Y, which we recently joined. There are 13 machines he uses. They have a networked electronic system that keeps track of your workouts, weights and settings that he really likes. It's socially "gamified" in that you earn points for various things and can track your own progress and rank yourself against other members in various ways. So for several reasons, let's just assume that he is not going to switch to free weights for a while, even if we might all agree that they are more efficient. Right now his goal is to gain strength, gain muscle mass, and lose body fat; all are about of equal importance.
Now, when he gets these bursts of fitness enthusiasm, he--in both of our opinions--has to fight the tendency to overdo things. So, after only a few sessions in the weight room, one evening he texted me to say he would be running late, and it turns out it was because he wound up doing a 2-hour workout (all weights). That seemed like a bad idea to me, since it was only maybe his 3rd or 4th time working out in the weight room, and I told him so.
Since then he's backed off a bit on the length of workouts, but he still says his goal is to do 1.5 hour workouts on alternating days. A 1.5 hr weights-only workout still seems longer than what I normally see suggested. I told him that based on what I had read, that one sees maximum gains from doing fewer reps at higher weights, and that if he was able to spend 90 minutes in the weight room that he probably wasn't lifting the optimal amount, at least in terms of strength/muscle mass gains--i.e., that he should be doing fewer reps/sets at higher weights. Right now he is doing 3-6 sets on each machine at 12 reps.
He's also about 3 months into re-starting his running program but has cut back on running in favor of the weight room. My thought is that if he wants to get a really effective aerobic workout plus a really effective strength-building workout, he'd be better served by doing something like a good 30-45 minute run 3x/week, plus a more intense 30-45 minute weights workout 3x/week, rather than these 90 minute weights workouts where he's trying to get both aerobic and strength gains in the same session.
Is there support for my suggestion? Are there any good resources for designing workouts etc when working with machines rather than free weights? If he would really rather do a long weights workouts (90-120 minutes), is that likely to be harmful in some way?
FWIW, he is 42 and has a BMI of 28.

He needs to speak with a qualified personal trainer, or someone with formal training in kinesiology. He should do this sooner rather than later, because if he has a 'tendency to overdo things', he could very easily injuring himself in ways that will not be immediately apparent.
There's absolutely
no way
that anybody can provide him with reliable advice without speaking to him at the very least.
And are there good resources for designing workout routines around machines? Absolutely, and a bit of Google-fu will bring you to them within seconds. However, if your husband has a clear idea of what he wants to get out of his workouts, he would probably be best served by meeting with a trainer for a few sessions. When he's arranging this, he should be clear that he's looking to develop a sustainable workout routine.

Yeah, if you're spending more than an hour on weights, you're wasting your time on macho bullshit and you're going to hurt yourself. If you want to get the best results out of your weight room, you go in with a list of things to do that's part of a larger plan, you do only those things and then you stop.
A copy of Mark Rippetoe's "Starting Strength", that might also help.

Right now his goal is to gain strength, gain muscle mass, and lose body fat; all are about of equal importance.
He needs to pick one goal at a time. Either (1) gain strength and muscle or (2) lose fat. Goal 1 requires a caloric surplus and Goal 2 requires a caloric deficit.
I agree with your advice that he would be doing more good with fewer reps at higher weights. I bet you dollars to doughnuts that he is doing a routine out of Muscle and Fitness or some other such magazine. A resistance work out of 90 minutes, let alone two hours, is ridiculous.
I would recommend a program like Rippetoe's Starting Strength. While this is a free weight routine, it could be reasonably adapted to machines. For example, using a hack squat machine for squats or Smith machine for bench/bent rows. Your Y may even have a deadlift machine. If your husband wants to build muscle, he should be doing these compound movements and not simple movements like bicep curls.
Also, please do not think that a resistance workout is not cardiovascular. At three sets of 12, I agree that one's heart is barely beating. But, try a five rep set of deadlifts and see if your heart isn't racing and your lungs gasping for air.

This is completely false.
Mark Rippetoe's "Starting Strength"
Has nothing to say about machine-based workouts, so it's mostly irrelevant to the OP's husband.
He needs to pick one goal at a time. Either (1) gain strength and muscle or (2) lose fat. Goal 1 requires a caloric surplus and Goal 2 requires a caloric deficit.
This is not the case for overweight beginners like the OP's husband. If he eats a reasonable caloric deficit with adequate protein and trains hard, he can gain muscle and lose fat in the same period. Once he's been training for awhile, accomplishing both at once will require a much more finely-tuned approach.
here is a good guide for your husband to read
on the basics of diet and strength training. Important things I would emphasize are:
1. Dietary adherence. You're not going to change your body composition (gain muscle and lose fat) without paying attention to your diet.
2. A balanced program. He should be sure to work his whole body over the course of a week rather than focusing on some body parts to the exclusion of others. Using machines exclusively will mean doing a lot of different movements to hit everything, but that's just how it goes. He'll probably want to use a body part split, e.g. spend one day on chest/triceps exercises, another day on back/biceps, another on shoulders/legs, etc. There are lots of programs out there you can google for.
3. Full range of motion. Don't cheat by moving the weights a smaller distance in order to use heavier loads.
4. Warmup. Don't neglect it.
He can hire a trainer if he wants, but unless he has major injuries he's trying to work around he shouldn't need one.

Machines are fun when you're starting because you can progress pretty quickly. I like to lift super heavy, super slow (meaning I can do maybe 2 sets to failure--as heavy as I can go.) I do upper body 1 day, rest or slow cardio the next, then lower body, rest/slow cardio and then maybe abs. I take 1 or 2 days off a week, but since going every day is part of building the habit, so I might do just 4 mph on the treadmill and rest only 1 day.
If he drops his carbs to under 30 grams a day, eats enough protein, he can certainly burn fat and get stronger. Go by pant size not the scale.
He's a bit intensive, but I trust

You mentioned that he works out at the Y ... I don't know if it's the case where you live, but our Y membership includes free access to the personal trainers on staff there. They will happily spend an hour with him designing a program and training him on how to use the machines properly, and in what order.

Right now he is doing 3-6 sets on each machine at 12 reps.
I do a fairly aggressive high weight program, and I'll take more than 90 minutes in the gym. A lot of that is recovery time, between sets and between exercises.
As for the rest - I agree with
. Machines are not my thing, but people seem to like 'em. He will probably have better results with a focus on compound-type lifts - chest press, overhead press, Smith machine, leg press. Strength and muscle mass will also develop with diet - high protein is the way to go. For a beginner, he
lose fat and gain strength at the same time, but it will be slow(er) going and body measurements (waist, hips, thigh circumference) will be better indicators.

is the general rep/weight chart from Starting Strength that always gets kicked around. I don't really understand what it is based on, other than experience.

I wouldn't be so concerned about pushing cardio back into his regimen. 2 hrs of high-rep lifting of any sort will trigger noticeable aerobic adaptations - unless he's taking powerlifter-style rest pauses it's quite likely his HR is at least staying north of 100bpm the entire session. That's decent cardiac output training whichever way you slice it, even if he thinks he's doing strength training.
My suggestion is you let him go on and have his fun. Machines are suboptimal in many regards and certainly present some risk of exacerbating poor motor patterns, but they're not death traps, and most people tend to soon wise up and start training properly before any major joint issues arise. It's highly probable during these first few months that he's fixing more postural issues than he stands to accrue from machine use. And he's forming an exercise habit, which is positive regardless of how effectively exercise is currently being performed. If machine workouts gets him in the gym on a regular basis, those are the best workouts for him.

There is a huge bias against machines on the internet, so beware.
Machines were originally designed for a specific training protocol which relies on training to complete muscle failure. Training to complete muscular failure is not safe with free weights (form breaks down before the muscles fail, and form is critical with free weights).
Nowadays there are a lot of people (trainers included) who think they can just use free weight style sets-and-reps training on machines. This is where machines are suboptimal and ineffective. The only way to effectively use machines is with failure training.
The two popular failure training methods today are High Intensity Training (which is what Nautilus (the original machine circuit) was originally invented for) and Super Slow. They are both pretty similar. I don't really know a whole lot about High Intensity Training, but the good current Super Slow books are Body by Science and Power of Ten (I prefer Power of Ten).

as quickly as possible
42 and has a BMI of 28
There's a good chance he's going to injure himself and render him unable to keep exercising in order to achieve his goals.
He does has goals, right?
The regimen he's proscribed himself doesn't seem healthy/sustainable.
It also sounds like he really needs to do a lot more research, or at least let go of his current ideas of what it takes to be "healthy."
By doing it half-assed/self-assessed, it's more likely that he'll give it up before any of the gains really show or do it wrong enough to hurt himself. This is a situation where a trusted and trustworthy professional is really worth their time in your money.
Future question: how to find an excellent personal trainer/what is a "healthy" lifestyle.

Proportional Representation in the Welsh Assembly
AbstractThe proposed rule for electing members to the Welsh Assembly gives each voter two votes, to cast at the Parliamentary constituency level, and at the bigger European constituency level. Half of the members are to be elected for the Assembly by a form of proportional representation, where party support is calculated by aggregating the two votes. The voters will be allowed to cast the second vote for a different party than the one for which they voted at the parliamentary level. This additional degree of freedom can frustrate the objective of obtaining better correspondence between party support and the number ofseats. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 2000

Where the source material felt like a superficial attempt to capture the often-unthinking impulses of modern teens -- the been-there-done-that literary equivalent of Larry Clark's "Tulsa" photos -- Coppola's adaptation balances the tired sensationalism of kids behaving badly with a welcome dose of sympathy. The granddaughter of "Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola, Gia is hardly the first to observe the age group in question (in fact, the film owes a heavy debt to auntie Sofia's debut, "The Virgin Suicides," a giant poster for which hangs in the Emma Roberts character's bedroom), but she brings a fresh humanity that too few of Clark and Gus Van Sant's countless imitators bother to apply when waxing cynical about modern youth.
"What Richard Did" and "Les Apaches" to that list, all triggered by acts of teenage murder). Coppola ignores Franco's story "Lockheed," in which an insecure girl watches a boy who'd just been nice to her get beaten to death at a party. Instead, she focuses on five of the least sensational chapters in the book -- "Jack-O'," "Emily" and the three-part "April" -- interweaving them in such a way that the characters overlap, without imposing something so conventional as a plot. (In doing so, she leaves the remaining "Palo Alto" stories for Franco to delegate to other directors, as he attempted with an unsuccessful crowdfunding plea in June.)
Instead of scandalizing viewers, the film attempts to capture the truth about what contempo teens experience, depicting the casual racism, misogyny and self-destructive experimentation that accompanies the rocky passage from childhood to a fully formed personal identity. There can be no question that these teens are rebelling, but unlike previous generations or those in lower classes, it's not clear against what. Consider Roberts' April: Her mother showers her in attention and praise, and her permissive father (Val Kilmer) smokes pot (all the dads in "Palo Alto" do, though at least he doesn't also try to grope his kids' friends, like Chris Messina's character). April's parents are so supportive of her independence that the break-away phase seems almost anti-climactic, and the mistakes -- like falling for sexy soccer coach Mr. B (Franco, who doesn't even bother to shave for the role) -- feel almost banal, despite their illegality. (Roberts, 22, is eight years older than the character in the book.)
"Palo Alto" doesn't preach, which can be a little disconcerting for audiences who've come to expect a tone of shrill indignation and outrage to accompany such films. Instead, Coppola cycles through a wide range of emotions, from humor to horror, as these not-quite-kids, not-quite-adults pick fights, deface public property and seek easy gratification from the school "slut" (a word that's never heard in the film, despite its frequent use in the book). If April is the compromised good girl, then Emily (Zoe Levin) is the "blow job whore" who doesn't seem to realize her own value. She's an easy target for wild-and-crazy Fred (Nat Wolff, one half of Nick's "The Naked Brothers Band," all grown up) and girlish-looking Teddy (Val's son Jack Kilmer, making his impressive acting debut).
Despite its relatively short running time, "Palo Alto" feels overlong in stretches simply because its characters aren't motivated by specific goals, nor are there clear "reasons" for their actions. The tone throughout resembles that of the pool party in "The Last Picture Show," where the sexual thrill of the moment is tempered by the sense that something is being lost. No one here seems to be thinking about the future, as Coppola makes abundantly clear by including an awkward session with a college guidance counselor. These characters live in the moment, pleasure-seeking with little concern for the impact their actions have on others, though audiences gets a sense of consequences via the pic's shifting perspective (as in "The Rules of Attraction," without all the flashy interference).
Coppola easily slips between the vantage of male and female characters, embracing the same elliptical style seen in "The Bling Ring" as well Sofia's tendency to linger on peripheral details -- childhood toys, a dying plant, a heart carved into the bark of a tree or girlish panties -- for ironic effect. The wall-to-wall music, mostly mellow electronic score with some piano, and striking steadicam lensing by gifted female d.p. Autumn Durald buffers everything from harsh realism, allowing a slightly dreamlike quality into the proceedings. The incidents depicted could just as easily have taken place 20 years ago as today, if not for the occasional iPhone cameo. While "Palo Alto" doesn't seem to be saying anything new exactly, it boasts a clear and confident voice of its own, and it will be exciting to see where the young Coppola goes from here.

First drawing of winter break.
Day 1 of line.
This was my final project at SCAD for a drawing class. We finished classes this past Thursday. It's 22x30 self-portrait with Micron. The goal of the project was to find a theme that deeply meant something to ourselves. Recently my life fell into shambles…. So my theme was "reaching for the perfect picture." It's pretty huge scale hence the close up pictures to show detail. I might color this in one day but I'm kind of liking the black and white right now.
What a crappy photo…. but alas I am finished with this guy. 9x12" micron.
New drawing in progress..
So because I suck and my life is lame right now, I'm posting this to keep you guys entertained. It's a bit of an oldie. I think I gave this away to my sister for her birthday. :)
Moving forward…

x The average starting price for a place to stay in Vienna is £64 per night.
toddymadra Excellent facilities, service and location. A good night's sleep is guaranteed. Very clean and a great, powerful shower. The landlady was very friendly and very helpful. There was easy and free access to a fast internet service. The climb up the stairs to the third floor would be a challenge for some older or less fit guests. The fee charged is just a little high in the opinion of this reviewer. Overall, we can happily recommend K&T. K and M, Ireland
lcasbur The hostel is very clean but quite far from the city centre (anyway, there is a bus that takes you directly there). We have liked it and recommend it.
serkan.gul I have stayed 4 nights at this lovely pension. People are very friendly and room is very very clean. The room was very small but enough for one person. I strongly suggest this place to anyone who wants to stay near citycenter and does not spend too much for expensive hotels.
igbalaskal My husband and I spent a beautiful 5 days in Vienna. The location of the property was perfect for us. Shopping streets and underground stations are just a few minutes walk. Loved it. Igbala & Armin Sarajevo
Sander Nice place with very good atmosphere (insofar as I saw; stayed here with friends, which always makes one pay less attention to the hostel itself). Close to the westbahnhof, which is a useful location, if a bit far from the real center of town. Free WiFi was yay! My only gripe with the place was that it was rather noisy; sounds echoed down the hallway and the door to my room didn't stop any of it; you could hear every word spoken by groups of people coming up to their rooms late at night, as well as the vacuuming (?) outside the rooms around 7 AM. Still, I'd probably stay here again.
Lucost The vieuw was spectacular! The rooms are nice. Our children enjoyed playing on the gras and in de sand. The breakfast was very nice. A good choice for everyone. Thanks.
kerryn.boo A lovely apartment with all the amenities you would expect. The host was very friendly and helpful. He was also very prompt for the airport pickup. The public transport system in Vienna is very good and this apartment is well loctaed to access it. The large supermarket around the corner was also very convenient. The only negative was the apartment being on the second floor with only stair access, but the host helped us with our heavy luggage so this was no real issue. We would definitely stay here again.
alexey.pom This is very nice place for stay in Vienna. Clean and large room, well equipped kitchen, calm and convenient location. The only disadvantege is a shortage of AC. This could be a problem in July or August. Nevertheless, I will certainly prefer this accomadation for my futrure visits to Vienna.
