But you know what? The people who attend IDEA World Fitness Convention are trying. They are motivated, energized, compassionate and smart enough to know what they don't know.
I just love how passionate you all are. You move me so. After a session I co-presented yesterday on 30 ways to make residual income, an attendee came up on stage and offered several more ways to make more money in passive ways. But what really struck me is how authentic, personable and humble she was. She just wanted to share what worked for her and her clients. I'm sure she's a local hero. People and her passion for serving them come first. The money flows in afterwards.
I managed to take a class late today from Gregg Cook called "Schwinn Cycling: Ride One, Get One Free." This was a treat to myself, but I also need to learn new coaching and motivation techniques for the indoor cycling classes I teach. I'm not the type to think I know it all -- not by any stretch of the imagination. However, after having Gregg hop off his bike, come face to face with me and connect with my inner cycling goddess, I came to realize there is quite a gap between my current teaching skills and the high standard of coaching I should be providing my students.
It woke me up.
I hope you had some "wake up" moments this weekend. Thank you for all you do to Inspire the World to Fitness. I can't wait to see you next year.
After a pretty gloomy July 4th here in San Diego (which I was fine with, actually), the show of all shows -- the one we've been working on all year with much determination and thrill -- opened its doors wide for the preconference and expo preview.
I have to tell you; it's already rocking here. The vibe is incredible. Thirty years of health and fitness education, camaraderie and lasting friendships have culminated in an event that is sure to create real fireworks, which is more than the city of San Diego can say for its lackluster fireworks display last night (Google it).
Okay, so, yeah, I am paid to be excited about the IDEA World Fitness Convention. I am staff. Even if I wasn't on the payroll I'd be out in the Gaslamp here in downtown San Diego trying to recruit people. The energy here is that addictive. Happy people breed happiness.
What am I happy about? I have a lot to choose from, but let's focus on the preconference experiences. I happily got wrapped up in the Inspirational Leadership track for personal training and group fitness managers and directors. I am so glad this track is back! It's quite easy for managers and directors to get sucked into a wormhole of mediocrity. Afternoon investments like this one kick you out of your "okay" zone right into independence from all the cliche policies and procedures that just don't work.
Here are some highlights:
* Helen Vanderburg talked about what it means to be an extraordinary person, which translates to an extraordinary manager. It was an inspirational pep rally that set up the rest of the afternoon. She shared a great quote from her swimming coach, Debbie Muir: "By mastering the power of thought, you have a greater chance to access your full potential." Sounds like a no-brainer? Keep track of your thoughts and then tell me you have it all mastered.
* Shannon Fable absolutely owned her time slot with uber practical tips on how to create group fitness MVPs. She offered more helpful tips than I can note here, but suffice to say she advocates going above and beyond what you've been doing to not only streamline your program, but elevate it.
* Vito Lafata shared his passion: upgrading the status of the personal trainer from fitness professional to health professional. He showed us the hard numbers involved in shifting from a one-on-one training focus to a semi-private and small group business model. It didn't take too many slides to become a convert.
As we roll into the best fitness convention we've ever produced, I am looking forward to meeting you (you are here, right?) and learning more about how to create a better experience for you as an IDEA member (you are a member, right?).
I love fitness. I always have. The most frustrating thing for me as an obese child growing up in an obese family was lack of physical activity. I felt trapped inside my body. I couldn't understand why my body didn't bend, twist and maneuver the way other kids' bodies did. Why couldn't I tumble, use the monkey bars and dodge the ball quicker? I felt like an athlete and I succeeded at some sports; but I never felt as if I lived up to my true potential. I've made it a mission to find that lost athlete inside me in my adult years.
I've done pretty well--with quite a few injuries and setbacks. I've even taken my passion a step further and become a certified personal trainer, registered yoga teacher and an indoor cycling instructor. I am an editor and writer for the most respected magazine for fitness professionals in the industry, IDEA Fitness Journal. I have learned a lot about the body and I am constantly learning more. I'm very happy with my progress and yet, something has always bothered me: Pilates.
It's not that I don't like Pilates; I just never felt that drawn to it. I've been researching, writing and creating content for Pilates professionals for more than 10 years now. I'm also senior editor for IDEA Pilates Today, a publication solely dedicated to the topic of Pilates. When it comes to exercise physiology, biomechanics, group fitness trends and techniques and anything related to yoga, I feel quite confident. Not so with Pilates. Honestly, I've felt like a bit of a fake. I don't think it's necessary to be a Pilates professional or enthusiast to be the lead editor of a publication; however, I do feel it's important to have a visceral understanding of your content. I've always felt as if I've been scratching the surface. And so, I decided to roll up my yoga mat for a spell and take some Pilates classes. This is something I have never done. I've been to plenty of conference sessions and I've edited many Pilates articles. But I have never experienced it firsthand.
My goal in this endeavor is to embody the method and hopefully find a deeper understanding of why so many people are so passionate about it. I had my first private session today with Jennifer Curry Wingrove, owner of Pilates On Park in San Diego, a renowned ballerina of the California Ballet Company, and a STOTT PILATES ® certified instructor.
What was it like? It was like relearning how to move. I have great body awareness, but this is a whole new level of neuromuscular integration. The breathing techniques are different from what we do in yoga and I had to constantly remind myself to switch gears. When on the closed chain environment of the reformer my body immediately let me know where and how I've been cheating—especially with my right shoulder, which I injured years ago. The prepatory moves were both familiar and distinctly distant. Learning the compound movements, matching my breath and staying centered throughout was a mental workout. I quickly learned this is not something you do mindlessly. If you are doing Pilates mindlessly, you're not doing Pilates.
Curry did an excellent job of seamlessly moving me through my first session and pulled me back when I needed to regroup. Afterwards I felt intensely invigorated and my right shoulder, which has a hard time staying back and down, had somehow shifted in its socket. I felt more stable, upright and confident. My mood had lifted. I guess I had the Pilates glow I keep reading and writing about but never had firsthand knowledge of.
This is what I hope to share with you, the Pilates professional. I want to not only deepen my understanding of what you do so I can deliver the best content possible, I want to remind you what it's like to approach Pilates from a beginner's mind. While the repertoire may be simple and flowing for you now, can you remember what it was like to bottom out the carriage or not know which strap to pull? Try on a beginner's mind again and reach new clients like me in myriad new ways through your cuing, knowledge and presence.
I am leaving IDEA Personal Trainer Institute today--hopefully a step ahead of the "wintry mix"--in a better body that houses a better mind and spirit. I personally believe that a healthy body is the gateway to a healthy mind, but then again I also believe the whole kit and kaboodle is intertwined to a point that we don't really know the main influencer.
I do know this: I feel better when I take care of my vehicle. This seems to also be the case with the folks who trust me to train them. My clients come in wearing a mask of stress and they leave more relaxed, happy, calm and ready to tackle their lives.
That's why I do what I do. How about you?
I met a good cross section of personal trainers this weekend of all shapes, sizes and ages. Some are old school and some are just feeling out the bubble to test its boundaries and see how far it floats. Some never satiate their hunger for information and research and others just want you to hand them a template so they can automate their practices. In any case, no matter what your judgment is about what a personal trainer should or shouldn't be, is it still true that we all have a chance to make a difference in someone's life? That's a pretty big deal.
Don't waste it.
This morning was tough. I'm still on California time and for some reason the third day of getting up at 4 a.m. on my body clock's time felt excruciatingly difficult. But I dragged my SoCal butt out of bed and made the rounds. My brain lit up like a Lite Brite at all the drive, passion, fun and intelligent design in the sessions. I was inspired by Rodney Corn's plea to meet your client inside their comfort zone, not yours. I was intrigued by unstable surface research that made me think. Brett Klika's session on training weekend warriors opened my eyes to new possibilities and profit centers.
I want to give the world a chance to happy, healthy and productive. What do you want to give the world, when can you start and how are you going to make it happen?
Why aren't you at this event? Do you already know it all?
In her session, One of the Top 10 Biggest Mistakes Trainers Make and How to Avoid Them, Nicki Anderson listed the know-it-all mentality as one trap personal trainers fall into. "I have a degree and 7 years of experience. I don't need to go to a conference to learn anything new. There's nothing new. I know it all." How can that be possible? I really want to know.
Hardly anyone was talking about fascial lines 10 years ago. As the conversation has expanded, now we've moved beyond foam rolling and basic self-myofascial release techniques to deeper understandings of other integrated systems that tie into and synergize with fascia. A lot of the programming I've seen at this event focuses on preparing the entire organism for movement. Pre-stress, pre-generate, pre-think the system clean before the system has a chance to clog. I'm not talking about warm-ups, either. I'm talking about the prequel to warming up.
If you were here, you'd know what I'm talking about. I know, I know...you are here in spirit. Many of you are. A lot of personal trainers, however, are missing the mark in their assessments and foundations, and this includes business acumen. But when it comes to the body--understanding it and training it--you really need to light a match in your brain and let that fire build.
In his session Walking Tall--What Your Client's Gait Can Tell You Before They Even Speak, Dan Hellman, PT, talked about how important a properly functioning pelvis is. If you think you already know this, then can you explain the myofascial slings in detail? Can you speak to how organ function might inhibit the inner unit? Are you smart and conscientious enough to not allow your clients to run before they can walk? "The pelvis is your foundation for the spine, your dream home," Hellman said. "You must be able to properly assess this when looking at gait."
Have you built your career on a weak foundation? Are you running when you can't even walk properly? There are plenty of personal trainers here who struggle to do a squat, can't name primary movers and who ignore their own body's plea for regeneration. I'm not knocking them--I give them lots of credit for being here. My question is: if we're not strengthening the foundation of our own bodies, minds and spirits, then how can we train and coach others to do the same effectively?
Check in with your dream home, whatever that means to you. Are you burned out from working too much? Is your body crying out for some TLC? Is your client base currently all doing the same workout? Now take a look at your foundation--your health, your education, your sense of purpose. Don't be afraid to tear something down and start over. That's how muscles get strong, after all.
I start looking forward to IDEA Personal Trainer Institute around November when all the holiday hub bub starts. I am not a fan of the holidays, but this event is like Christmas to me and it's one gift after another--continuing education, networking, a break from routine and play. After enjoying a nice, full day of the conference I can definitely say I am like a kid who got exactly what she wanted for "Christmas."
The key must have been unlocking the power of my psoas first thing this morning in Sue Hitzmann's session by the same name. Hitzmann's passion for the neurofascial system and her commitment to sharing details about tensegrity in smart and entertaining ways speaks to the trapped inner athlete in me. The one who enjoys pain-free function, that is. Whatever you think you know about the psoas, you owe it to yourself to revisit your understanding and check it against your own body's intelligence. There's a lot more going on than a guide wire from your lumbar spine to your leg (to oversimplify it).
This is where I start getting philosophical about life. Consider yourself forewarned.
With a freshly decompressed lower back, it seemed a little easier to weave through the rest of the day. I was feeling less stressed, less tired, and I enjoyed the company of others a lot more. It also seemed easier to concentrate on the material being presented in the sessions. In fact, although I am more of a kinesthetic learner, I think I might have actually embodied a few concepts from the TRX Rip Training Workout simply from watching. However, it was from a place of action that I think I learned the most important piece of information today.
I am thinking about buying a heavy rope for my personal training practice (I can hear Sandy Todd Webster and Ryan Halvorson chuckling because I am known for collecting toys). I stepped in on Power Systems: Fit on a Rope session led by Don Bahneman and Shannon Fable to watch and determine whether or not I really needed to add this to my toolbox. What I didn't count on was joining in for a few Tabata drills.
I'm not new to this training tool, or much of the programming, but I definitely learned something new today. Maybe it's because I've been thinking too much about personal matters or not thinking enough about others around me. Whatever the reason, working with the ropes and a perfect stranger (new friend) became a metaphor for life. This is what I walked away with:
* Ropes are heavy; life is heavy. You have to grip it with both hands and not let go.
* Like life, heavy rope training encourages sustained output. You need periods of rest and recovery, however, to make real progress.
* You can't train with heavy ropes without some sort of anchor, whether it is a stationary object, a heavy kettlebell or another person. Likewise, it's important to have some sort of anchor in your life to keep you grounded.
* You can't just use your arms to create the movement; you have to use your entire body, from nose to toes. When challenged by life, you have to dig deep to meet it head-on.
* Finally, and most importantly, if you're not playing and having fun, what's the point? It's just a big, fat rope.
So the next time a client irks you, your practice isn't up to par or things just simply aren't going your way, take it to the ropes and see if your mindset shifts with your metabolism.

Perspective Transformation and Lens Correction Image Processor
ARM and On2 Technologies Demonstrate The First High-Performance Video Codecs Optimized With ARM Neon Technology
Optimization for NEON media processing extensions halves required clock cycles for video decode
CAMBRIDGE, UK AND TARRYTOWN, NY – Feb. 11, 2008– On2, a leader in video codec technologies (http://www.on2.com) and ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)], today announced at Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, that On2 has used ARM® NEON™ technology to optimize the performance of several of its popular video software codecs. By employing the SIMD media processing extensions to the ARM Cortex™-A series of processors, On2 has been able to significantly reduce the clock cycles needed and increase the playback performance of the most popular video formats used in mobile devices. Compared to existing software decoders on today's leading mobile handsets, new products based on the NEON technology-optimized On2 codecs will benefit from longer battery life along with support for higher resolutions and frame rates, bringing accessibility to a broader range of high-quality video content through the web.
By using the ARM RealView® Development Suite 3.1 Professional tools with cycle-accurate models, On2 was able to optimize its codecs for NEON technology before development boards were available. Mobile device and handset OEMs are now equipped with the technology to enable a truly compelling mobile Internet video experience on devices using the ARM Cortex-A series of processors.
The use of simulation models also enables On2, a member of the ARM Connected Community, to deliver time-to-market benefits for OEMs and chip vendors by providing them with NEON technology-optimized software codecs while chip solutions with NEON technology are still in the design phase.
"On2 is committed to providing the most optimal video solutions possible. We identified NEON as widely adopted technology that is powering multimedia capabilities on the next generation of high-performance mobile handsets," said Bill Joll, president and CEO of On2. "Building on our extensive knowledge of video codecs, and using cycle-accurate models of the ARM Cortex-A8 processor and the vectorizing compiler from ARM, On2 will extend its market leadership in mobile video by providing multiple software codecs across the multiple silicon platforms that have included NEON technology."
"The use of codecs that have been optimized for the NEON extensions will enable the consumer to have an improved battery life and better visual quality," said Rob Coombs, global director for mobile solutions marketing at ARM. "On2's range of codecs that can now take advantage of NEON technology includes the popular VP6 codec used in Flash® Video on websites such as Facebook."
The extensive use of ARM models also significantly reduced On2's required development time. In a few months, the company was able to raise the benchmark for several of its software video codecs. Using NEON technology-optimized code, the Hantro 6100 H.264, Hantro 8100 Sorenson Spark and On2's proprietary TrueMotion VP6 are able to decode video in less than half the clock cycles when compared to previous-generation implementations.
About NEON Technology

WASHINGTON – The new and improved Bethesda Row Cinema will open again on May 3 after closing down in March 2013 for renovations.
When the theater opens its doors again, moviegoers can indulge in the wine, beer and other liquor beverages at the new round bar outside the screening rooms while enjoying the theater's new look.
However, the screening rooms are now a bit smaller in order to accommodate larger, more comfortable seats with extra leg room. Customers can also expect reserved seating, so when they purchase a ticket, they will have to indicate which seat they want. The Washington Post reports that this change is getting mixed reviews.
All eight theaters will have new screens and sound systems, and a few of the theaters will also be equipped to show 3-D movies.

WEFTEC.08 is the largest in conference's 81-year history
Record-setting numbers of 21,950 attendees and 1,111 companies using 290,000 net sq ft of exhibit space have designated WEFTEC.08—the Water Environment Federation's 81st Annual Technical Exhibition and Conference—as the largest event its 81-year history. The previous records of 19,929 attendees, 1,017 companies and 268,405 net sq ft of floor space were set just last year at WEFTEC.07 in San Diego.
The conference offered the most dynamic educational and training experience in WEFTEC's history with 31 workshops, 115 technical sessions and 10 facility tours that addressed the timeliest issues in water, wastewater treatment, storm water management, energy, green initiatives, science, research and legislative and political issues.
Professor John Anthony Allan anchored a well-balanced opening general session program with a keynote address featuring the concept of "virtual water," which measures how water is embedded in the production and trade of food and consumer products. This concept has major impacts on global trade policy and research, especially in water-scarce regions, and has redefined discourse in water policy and management.
The Honorable Richard M. Daley, Mayor of Chicago received a standing ovation from the 800 attendees for his speech, "Making Chicago a Global Leader in Water and Sustainability," given in a session on water infrastructure and sustainable innovations. Mayor Daley shared the recently unveiled Chicago Climate Action Plan and also insisted that the Nation's cities must reinvest in infrastructure and will need help in financing.
"Whoever is the next President of the United States needs to address what has been an inadequate level of federal investment in our infrastructure, including water systems, roads, bridges, highways, public transportation and school construction," he said.
On the international front, 2,378 international registrants attended WEFTEC.08. These international attendees included 245 trade delegation attendees from 71 countries, who utilized WEF's Global Center services to facilitate their meetings with exhibitors, organize site visits, and utilize translator services. WEF also facilitated meetings between exhibitors and trade delegates representing water and wastewater buyer interests from such countries as China, the Philippines, Israel, Bulgaria, Iraq and South Africa, to name a few.
On Tuesday, as part of the "Presidential Celebration", President Adam Zabinski ceremoniously "passed the gavel" of Federation leadership to Rebecca West and inducted the remaining 2008-2009 WEF Officers and Board of Trustees. The ceremony culminated with awards presentations in recognition of the outstanding achievements of the most talented and dedicated professionals in the water quality community. In all, more than 25 awards were presented at various events during the four-day conference.
A successful hands-on community service project, "Getting out of the Gutter", featured the construction of a Rain Garden at Pulaski Park in Chicago. The event was a project of the WEF Young Professionals Committee, the Illinois Water Environment Association, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District and the Center for Neighborhood Technology. The $7,000 corporate-sponsored project left behind a green space that will provide native plants and effective storm water mitigation drainage to a previously plain turf area.

Here we have a basketball mystery: a player is widely regarded inside the N.B.A. as, at best, a replaceable cog in a machine driven by superstars. And yet every team he has ever played on has acquired some magical ability to win.
Solving the mystery is somewhere near the heart of Daryl Morey's job. In 2005, the Houston Rockets' owner, Leslie Alexander, decided to hire new management for his losing team and went looking specifically for someone willing to rethink the game. "We now have all this data," Alexander told me. "And we have computers that can analyze that data. And I wanted to use that data in a progressive way. When I hired Daryl, it was because I wanted somebody that was doing more than just looking at players in the normal way. I mean, I'm not even sure we're playing the game the right way."
The virus that infected professional baseball in the 1990s, the use of statistics to find new and better ways to value players and strategies, has found its way into every major sport. Not just basketball and football, but also soccer and cricket and rugby and, for all I know, snooker and darts — each one now supports a subculture of smart people who view it not just as a game to be played but as a problem to be solved. Outcomes that seem, after the fact, all but inevitable — of course LeBron James hit that buzzer beater, of course the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl — are instead treated as a set of probabilities, even after the fact. The games are games of odds. Like professional card counters, the modern thinkers want to play the odds as efficiently as they can; but of course to play the odds efficiently they must first know the odds. Hence the new statistics, and the quest to acquire new data, and the intense interest in measuring the impact of every little thing a player does on his team's chances of winning. In its spirit of inquiry, this subculture inside professional basketball is no different from the subculture inside baseball or football or darts.
The key-stat that is used to evaluate Battier's importance is a modified version of the "plus/minus" stat first used in Hockey. The basic gist is one just looks at how good the team does with a player in the game versus out of the game -- i.e. how much do they outscore or get outscored by their opponents. Of course, the raw version of this stat is misleading, because all players from good teams would shoot up the rankings while those on bad teams, even excellent players, would fall far.
Supposedly, the Rockets' manager Daryl Morey has developed this stat further, though is cagey about how. But he is quite confident that Battier has one of the best "plus/minus" values in the league.
Phil Birnbaum of the Sabemetrics Research site is not entirely convinced:
[A]s I said, I'm a bit skeptical, still. I accept that Battier must be exceptionally good at defense, since (a) he plays 33 minutes a game and doesn't have very much in the way of traditional offensive statistics; (b) the Rockets have watched him and studied him and think he's great; and (c) his teams have done well. Still, from a scientific standpoint, the article is mostly anecdote and hearsay.
It shouldn't be all that hard to confirm the article's thesis and measure the size of the effect. If Kobe [Bryant] is good from one place but worse from another, that can be figured out by watching games and counting. If Battier holds him to those low-percentage shots when covering him, that can be counted too. And at the most fundamental level, can't you see what Kobe (and the other players) do when covered by Battier, and compare to what they do against the Rockets when Battier's on the bench? Something is better than nothing.
It's not really that I don't believe the Rockets. It's just that +6 points a game -- when it's acknowledged that Battier isn't all that great on offense – seems pretty high to me, and my instinct is to ask for more evidence.
One answer might be that the evidence is there, but that it is still proprietary. That was Morey's answer in the Lewis piece. Nevertheless, this does indicate to me that people are on the right track in at least trying to really analyze sports, and not get bogged down in trivia.
As a final note, the WSJ Numbers Guy, with a great sense of timing, offers up a post about the plus/minus stat featured in the Lewis article:
Earlier this week, [Mark] Cuban posted to his blog a list of the 30 NBA players who have the biggest positive impact on their teams when they're in the game. They were ranked by a measure inspired by hockey's plus/minus statistic, reflecting how well a team does with a player on the court, after accounting for the other players on the court with him. Cuban's plus/minus adjusts for how good the team is without the player on the court as well as for the opponent and for game situations. (Without such adjustments, players on a top team like the Los Angeles Lakers would all look good, because the Lakers so often dominate.) . . . .
I sent Cuban's surprising ratings to Roland Beech, proprietor of the NBA stats site 82games.com, for comment. Beech works on player analysis for the Mavericks and incorporates a version of plus/minus into his own player ratings. But that didn't keep him from criticizing the numbers Cuban posted. Cuban and Wayne Winston, who developed the system for him, responded. What resulted was a polite yet spirited debate among Cuban and his advisors about how to best analyze players.
Beech told me he considered plus/minus ratings, as adjusted by regression analysis, "one of the most over-hyped player rating systems." He pointed to the incongruous finding that [Sebastian] Telfair is more valuable than [Dirk] Nowitzki, and blamed other questionable results — San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker as a below-average player — on a paucity of data on top players' performance without their star teammates. Beech also argued that there is too much noise in the system, because a player's value is determined by coaching schemes, injuries and their assigned roles. . . .
Winston, the professor of operations and decision technologies at Indiana University who developed the system for Cuban, said that no system is perfect, but that plus/minus beats other player analyses because it can reflect defensive prowess — and Nowitzki's defense was subpar at the beginning of the season. It's with defense, Winston said, that plus/minus "really shines," because defensive stats such as blocked shots, rebounds and steals can't encapsulate a player's worth.
We still need more and more of this kind of development with football. At least they're trying.

13 Pisco Cocktails at La Mar Cebicheria, NYC
"What Gastón always told me," cocktail director Saul Ranella said of Gastón Acurio, chef and mastermind of La Mar Cebicheria, "is that Peru is color.
The multitudes it contains: the mountain peaks and the Amazon, Japanese and Inca and German and Spanish ethnicities, the astounding variety of its peppers, its fruits; so varied, so colorful. That comes through in the cuisine. I wanted it to come through in the drinks, too.
Indeed, what you'll find on La Mar's menu is a diverse list of cocktails, from the classic pisco sour to a pisco-based take on the Negroni, in ample portions and dressed in vivid hue.
Pisco is having a moment in the States, but to many people, it's still just the stuff of pisco sours and not much else. Spending a summer in Chile when I was 19, I got very well acquainted with the grape brandy produced in that country and in Peru. (Being 19, I can't say I cultivated a particularly nuanced appreciation of the stuff.) Piscola (pisco dumped in Coke) and pisco sours (with citrus and egg white) were refreshing but interesting, mixed drinks just a smidgen better than my college habit of Bacardi and Diet Coke. I loved the way it mixed so easily and went down so smoothly, a spirit I'd never heard of but grew to love.
Of course, others would take umbrage to any appreciation of pisco that began in Chile. Peruvians are very proud of their pisco, claiming all others are but pale imitations. And while I won't take sides as to who can claim pisco as their own, I will say that the staunchly Peruvian La Mar Cebicheria is doing a fine job of getting the spirit appreciated.
Cocktail director Ranella thinks beyond the pisco-and-fruit or pisco-and-egg white standards, with a menu of 12+ rotating cocktails ($12-15) all based on pisco in various forms. Ranella developed the cocktail program at La Mar's San Francisco outpost before he moved to New York; "I've been working with pisco almost exclusively for more that five years now," he told us.
"At a table, I want everyone to order a different cocktail and everyone to have a different color, all spread out next to the food. It's lively. It's vibrant." (Our photographer Alice Gao, though she can make 10 pictures of Old Fashioneds look fascinating, appreciated the aesthetics.)

19 October, 2009
Clinton electedBill Clinton won the U.S. election during the show - we kept tabs on the election on the screens, and I think we may have had a live conversation with Clinton at one point. Canadians take a serious interest in the U.S. elections - it was a very exciting result and added an extra buzz to the night. I had tickets to both Vancouver shows, but as a Showpower crew guest this night I ended up with a spot directly in front of the Edge, it was great. (I was a little concerned about the possibility of falling Trabants!)

It's a way to celebrate and honor individuality, blending our history and heritage with design and fashion relevance, to present a clear and compelling expression of the Coach Woman and the Coach Man across the brand and around the world.
As we look forward to celebrating our 75th anniversary, we remain incredibly proud of Coach: Our business, brand, culture, and people.

Specialty enzymes are primarily utilized to produce pharmaceuticals, diagnostics solutions, as well as in biocatalysts and research & development. Every activity in the body such as building new tissues, replacing old tissues, converting food to energy, disposing waste materials, and reproduction requires enzymes. Depleting the bodys enzyme capacity is often the cause of pains, sprains, injuries, inflammation, indigestion, immune deficiency, and diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Unlike common medicinal products that temporarily relieve a few problems, enzymes address the dominant underlying causes of several health problems since they often bind and act on their target cells with great affinity and specificity and convert multiple target molecules to the desired products.

CRESTVIEW � A number of Shoal River Middle School students gather after school to discuss anime, a Japanese art form that spans film, television and comic book genres, among others.
CRESTVIEW � A number of Shoal River Middle School students gather after school to discuss anime, a Japanese art form that spans film, television and comic book genres, among others.
"Mostly, people think of it as a (TV) show," Liliana Smith, 13, says, "But anime is more than that. It's a culture."
Anime distinctly relies on vibrant colors and detail-rich settings, along with zooming, panning and other camera effects to tell the story. Fans can be a tight-knit bunch, and learning about someone's appreciation of anime can precede unexpected friendship, students said.
Destinie McCara, 13, said her love of anime helped her befriend a former classmate she previously didn't get along with.
"One day, I found her drawing anime; I told her I also like anime, and then we became best friends," Destinie said.
In the first meeting of its second year, the Anime Club at Shoal River Middle School has seen growth.
"I was expecting around eight or 10 kids � not a full classroom," club sponsor Chad Bouton said during a recent meeting.
Bouton, a fulltime University of West Florida student, became involved with the club with help from his mother, Donna, a school employee.
"I want (club members) to understand what goes into making anime," he said, adding that members will learn more about the artists and art form's origins.
For Liliana, that information will help her well past middle school.
"I want to make this my future job � along with being an architect," she said. "I want to bring anime to other people, so they could experience it.

In Princeton speech, dissident urges U.S. pressure on China
In an address at Princeton Thursday, exiled Chinese dissident and former political prisoner Harry Wu called upon the United States to use its economic leverage to advance human rights and bring down China's Communist regime.
"China needs the West much more than the West needs China," Wu said, suggesting that the United States and its allies should pressure his country to protect human rights. "I love my people, I love my country; that's why I want to say 'no' to this Communist regime."
Wu spoke before about 150 people in McCosh 50 on "Human Rights Abuses in China, Labor Camps, and Organ Donation." He alleged gross violations of human rights in China, including forced abortions, public executions, unwarranted imprisonment, and the harvesting and sale of organs from the bodies of executed prisoners.
Wu, a geologist, is the founder and executive director of the Laogai Research Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to compiling information about life within China's forced labor camps. In his best-selling book, Bitter Winds , Wu chronicled his own 19-year imprisonment in Chinese prison labor camps, where he was made to manufacture chemicals, mine coal, build roads, clear land and plant and harvest crops. He has said he was subjected to grueling labor, starvation and torture during this time.
Wu was released from prison in 1979 and eventually was allowed to leave China and move to the United States. He testified before the U.S. Congress in 1985 on the human rights abuses he witnessed, and in 1991, he returned to China with a television crew in order to secretly document life behind prison walls. He was arrested again in 1995 when he tried to enter China and was sentenced to 15 years for "stealing state secrets," but was released and expelled after an international campaign on his behalf.
His talk was sponsored by the Princeton University and Mercer County chapters of Amnesty International.

Welcome to the Antarctic Ice Marathon - World's Southernmost Marathon
Adventure marathoners and ultra athletes are always looking for the next big challenge. It could be a remote desert marathon, a high altitude mountain marathon or a jungle marathon. However, mainland Antarctica represents the last frontier, the final great wilderness to be conquered. And now adventure athletes like you can do it.
Introducing the southernmost marathon in the world......
The Antarctic Ice Marathon
On 13th December 2020, the sixteenth edition of the Antarctic Ice Marathon ® is scheduled to take place at 80 Degrees South, just a few hundred miles from the South Pole at the foot of the Ellsworth Mountains.
This race presents a truly formidable and genuine Antarctic challenge with underfoot conditions comprising snow and ice throughout, an average windchill temperature of -20C, and the possibility of strong Katabatic winds to contend with. Furthermore, the event takes place at an altitude of 700 metres.
The Antarctic Ice Marathon is run in the interior of Antarctica, not on King George Island outide the Antarctic Circle, and is organised by the same people who bring you the annual North Pole Marathon ®.
The three-day itinerary will see competitors fly by private jet from Punta Arenas, Chile, on 12th December to the marathon location at Union Glacier, Antarctica. A marked course of 42.2km (26.2 miles) will be prepared in advance and snowmobile support, aid stations and medical personnel will be at hand for the duration of the race. Competitors are scheduled to return to Punta Arenas on 14th December.
The Antarctic Ice Marathon is a unique opportunity to complete a marathon that is truly worthy of the seventh continent. You can join the exclusive 7 Continents Marathon Club by combining this race with marathons on each of the other six continents. Don't expect to run your quickest time, however, as winds can blow from the Pole at a steady 10-25 knots. Also, forget about penguins or crowds cheering you along the route - no penguins live this far south and you will have to rely upon yourself to push onward in the hushed, indomitable surroundings.
For those who prefer a half-marathon option, the Frozen Continent Half-Marathon will also be run on the day of the Marathon race. This half-marathon is your opportunity to cover 21km (13.1 miles) on the 'white continent' and finish the southernmost half marathon on the planet.
For the registration fee of USD $17,900, participants will be flown round-trip from Punta Arenas, Chile, to the Union Glacier camp in the interior of the Antarctic. Competitors will receive accommodation and food for their entire Antarctic trip and entry to their race of choice. Top class photos of each competitor in action will be distributed for personal use, as well as medals, t-shirts and patches.
Please note: Weather problems can result in flight re-scheduling and the scheduled duration of the trip could be shortened or lengthened accordingly.

Nutrisystem, Bistro MD Coupons and Weight Watchers Promo Codes Support Weight Loss and Dating in Teens
Too Many Teens Are Too Heavy, Too Young.
Teenage obesity was once called "one of this century's most serious public health challenges," and with good reason…. Obesity causes harm to nearly each system in the body—from muscle to bone, heart to lung, kidney to digestive tract, as well as the hormones that control puberty and blood sugar ---and could also take a heavy toll on a teenager socially and emotionally. And worse still, obese teens have very high odds of remaining obese or overweight into adulthood, substantially increasing their risk of disability and disease later in life.
Teenage obesity has been steeply rising over the years. Research has shown that teenage obesity has actually quadrupled in adolescents in the last 30 years. In 2012 for example, a third of adolescents were obese or overweight. The main reason why teenage obesity has been on such an upward curve has to be the high consumption of high sodium containing junk food. What's more, working parents are no longer able to keep track of their children's meals because they have no time to prepare healthier meals for them. Poor nutrition has taken its toll in the health of young people.
Thankfully, this is a reversible phenomenon. Studies have proven that teens who changed their eating habits to the better, lost unhealthy weight and completely reversed the negative effects of obesity. If you are a teenager or a parent of teens, know that Vitacost can help. I know they have helped me. Their vitamins and supplements support good health, and they are very affordable with a Vitacost coupon. Other factors that could account for the rise in obesity among teens include lack of exercise and living a more sedentary lifestyle.
How well do obese teens fair socially-body image, social life, dating...
In today's hyper-critical world, nobody is comfortable with their weight, or so it seems. Teens, and girls especially, are always being bombarded by images of rail-thin models who now represent the norm, somehow. Teens have been exposed to celebrities who appear to lose weight effortlessly and are able to keep it off very easily. It would therefore only make sense that any teenager tries to fit in to "the world" by maintaining the "right" body weight. Unfortunate enough for obese teens who have to face the harsh reality of wounded social lives or none at all.
An overweight teen's social life is affected negatively especially in aspects such as forming of relationships, body image and dating. One thing about being obese is that it really affects a teen's self-esteem, which is probably why they would have a hard time forming relationships with their peers.
Research has shown that obese teens are half as likely to start dating as normal weight adolescents. As a matter of fact, several weeks back, The National Institute of Health awarded $466,642 to the Magee-Women's Research Foundation for a four-year study, entitled "The Role of Romantic Relationships in the Sexual Behavior of Obese and Non-Obese Girls," while the researchers posit that obese girls just lack social skills displayed by their non-obese counterparts (and that this— and not their weight — is what makes the difference), they aim to prove it scientifically.
Introducing Nutrisystem, Weight Watchers and Bistro MD diets…
Before and After photos of Teen Girl who followed a proven weight loss program
To be able to lose weight and therefore improve their social lives, dating especially, obese teens ought to look for ways in which they conveniently and simply can lose weight. One such way is by enrolling into meal delivery plans.
In today's age, meal delivery plans are hugely sought after as an alternative method of tackling obesity because they offer calorie-controlled diets. While they might vary in the techniques adopted their ultimate goal is helping with weigh loss in a healthier way. There are many names to reckon with, with the leading plans being Nutrisystem and Bistro MD, both of which provide weight loss programs for teenagers.
Nutrisystem Diet
The Nutrisystem Diet is a solicitous weight loss program for teenagers introduced back in 2012 by Nutrisystem. This program as they had envisioned, would for solve the problem of obesity in teens by offering a weight loss plan suited for their fast changing bodies.
The Nutrisystem diet, which is available to teenagers aged between 14 and 17, involves a 1400 daily calorific intake for girls and 1700 for boys. The diet offered therefore, complies with the recommended daily dietary allowance for growing children. All meals offered contain well balanced nutrients and a proper protein, fat and carbohydrate ratio that is meant to trigger weight loss in teens. And with a Nutrisystem discount code the food will cost you just $10/day or less.
Nutrisystem Coupons
Nutrisystem promo codes are available throughout the year offering teens and adults a generous discount. Currently, the Nutrisystem coupon code is SAVE30.
This packaged meal plan consists of portion-controlled meals that are low in glycemic index (GI) and sodium and comes with additional grocery items such as vegetables and fruits. It also incorporates skimmed dairy products as well as daily portions of healthy low-fat proteins like veils and lean beef.
Nutrisystem give out clear guidelines that should help when deciding the body type of teenagers that should be considered over weight to keep dieting-fanatic girls or anorexic teens from misusing this program. It clearly states that this weight loss program is only for teenagers that to lose weight (teens who are in the 85-100 percentile of BMI). The BMI calculation aids parents in sketching out a plan for their teen's dietary needs. This actually, is the reason why Nutrisystem make it mandatory for parent involvement in this program.
To aid parents to properly guide their teenagers throughout the weight loss program, they provide an elaborate reference manual to parents. What's more, they allocate special counselors to the teenagers to help them emotionally with the weight loss journey.
BistroMD Diet
On the other hand, bistroMD is a diet food program, created by Dr. Cederquist as a customizable diet food service to fulfill the real needs of teens.
Bistro MD Coupon
Bistro MD Coupon Codes bring the cost of the program down significantly. To cut $50 off the original price, use Bistro MD coupon SAVE50NOW.
BistroMD offers approximately 1,200 calories every day for the complete plan, and comes along with snacks. However, the calorie count ranges between 1,200 and 1,400 calories each day. This should prove especially useful for teens in making sure their bodies don't get used to a set daily calorie count and in that way incur a weight loss plateau-The theory being that the variable daily calorie count enhances their ability to lose weight. Males and females receive similar meals, though bistroMD recommend that males (and active/tall females) add a 3rd protein snack and 1 serving of fruit daily to bring their total calorie count up to 1,500 each day. That said, this diet program is known for offering portions that are on the large size, so you should not be lacking in food.
It offers a low-sodium menu for clients watching their salt-intake. BistroMD are quite flexible with meal customization though they don't provide vegetarian meals, but recently it did introduce an entirely gluten-free option for those with gluten intolerance.
Once you sign up for BistroMD, you get access to a small selection of health and fitness articles and are assigned to personal dietitians who offer counseling and create customized programs that are nutritionally balanced for healthy weight loss.
Bistro MD Helped 555 pounds Teen Alex Lose Weight
If you watch the Dr Phil show, you may have seen Alex, the teen that weighed a staggering 555 lbs. With the help of Bistro MD experts, and one year's worth of food provided by the company, Alex lost 200 pounds. That was a powerful beginning for Alex who is now heading toward a much healthier life as a teenager.
Overall, BistroMD is a great weight-loss program for any teen and has the extra bonus of being developed by actual medical doctors who specialize in weight loss. For teens looking for a solid diet plan without the bells and whistles, and love the idea of complete meals being delivered to them, they can't go wrong with BistroMD.
Why these weight loss plans are "IT" for teens.
In reality, maintaining a healthy weight is hard for most teens. Desserts and fast food are temptations that most teens indulge in far too often. And what's more adolescents aren't active outside and spend a lot of their time on sedentary activities like using their computer or watching television. This is exactly these weight loss plans come in…
While Nutrisystem and Bistro MD, will offer teens with their favorite (great tasting) food such as pasta, pizza or even chocolate, which has only been made healthier, these programs offer great simplicity and convenience. These simple plans are sure to work with their metabolism and ensure faster weight-loss.
Best of all, these programs offer teens extra features such as support counseling as well as tools and handbooks which should help teens stay on track and keep the weight off even after they are no longer on the program. The end result whichever way, has to be a healthier non-obese teen! By maintaining the right weight with these programs, the teen should be able to boost their self-esteem and in this way feel more welcomed by peers and non-peers alike. What this means is that they will have not only improved relationships, they should also be able to get their dating lives in order.
Weight Watchers Discount Codes Are Very Popular
Did you know that Weight Watchers is for teens as well? They do have to follow a specific plan though to meet their requirements. They also need to have their parents approval in writing, and a doctor's referral.
If your are a teen who is struggling with obesity or overweight, and you don't have a budget to attend Weight Watchers, then worry not because every month a Weight Watchers promo code is released.
While Weight Watchers is mainly geared toward adults, there are many locations where teens and children over 10 years old can find a suitable plan. Call 1-800-651-6000 for the requirements of teens that want to enroll in Weight Watchers.
It's Never Too Early to Start Losing Weight.
Even among the youngest of children, it i is clear that obesity rates are rising steadily across the globe. Equally clear is that it's very, very hard for anyone who becomes overweight to lose weight, at any age. Maintaining a healthy weight through various methods, such as through meal delivery plans, in one's earliest years confers a lifetime of health, emotional and social benefits. And it's the most promising path for turning around the global epidemic that is obesity.
