Why FitConnect was created...
The Health & Fitness industry is overflowing with fad diets, workout plans, and supplement products that all make bold claims about results. It's hard to know which is best for you. Employees at stores that sell supplements often try and push the new products on you without really even knowing anything about them; meanwhile, the internet is a mess when it comes to getting information. You can spend hours browsing through forums and come out with hundreds of conflicting opinions. We wanted to provide a way for users to get unbiased information and make comparing results transparent. Rather than see what a single user likes, why not find out that 78% of the users on the site use product A. It's a much more efficient method of finding out information. The same applies to other areas of our site, including recipes and tips. You will be able to check out recipes that are top ranked and reviewed, rather than browse huge cookbooks for healthy recipes. We also wanted to provide a single spot for users to track their progress over time. By combining the supplements being taken, the recipes being used, the diet and exercise routines being followed, members can get a snapshot of their entire fitness/diet. Using stats and progress pictures, members can monitor what combinations were successful for achieving their goals.
Who can benefit from FitConnect...
Everyone! This is not a bodybuilding website, although bodybuilders are always welcome to join and share their knowledge. This site is created for people of all fitness levels and exercise interests. Fitness professionals can benefit by promoting themselves, however, we have a code of conduct restricting spam and other bothersome promotional tactics. To find out how to promote yourself while abiding by our code of conduct, check out our

What can you do on FitConnect...
FitConnect has many features that allow you to learn more, stay motivated, maintain organization, and socialize. Users are free to utilize these features as much or as little as they please. The more you put into it, the more you get out of it.
Fitness Centers
The core of our site involves connecting users to their local fitness centers. Users can affiliate themselves with their exercise venue by joining their online fitness community. Users can socialize with the members of their local gym, gymnastics center, martial arts center, and more.
Our Tips section evens the score by connecting the fitness gurus with beginners who are still learning. The validity of a tip is determined by user reviews and feedback. When a tip receives "certified status" it has been determined a helpful tip by the majority of members.
Spice up your eating habits by browsing other member recipes or show off your own skills in the kitchen by submitting how to make your favorite dish. Real pros submit a video showing exactly how the cooking is done.
If you kept a workout journal or had a personal fitness magazine, would people read it? Now you can find out. Blogs can be used to track a workout cycle, create a personal fitness magazine, or just randomly express your feelings toward exercise at the moment.
Connect with other members by common interest, goal, or feeling of expression. Keep your workout friends or sports teammates connected by creating a group as a bond.
Track the supplements you are taking or post your opinion on ones you have taken in the past. Find out what other members with similar goals are using and see what their opinions are.
Instead of paying money to subscribe to a magazine that contradicts itself every month in order to provide material in between ads, now you can subscribe to specific FitConnect member material. Find someone who really knows what they're talking about, and has pictures to prove it, and 'sync' to their tips, recipes, blogs etc.
The FitConnect Difference...
Our site is not supported or endorsed by any outside parties selling supplements, fad diets, or workout plans. The FitConnect staff, aside from their own personal user-profiles and postings, does not offer any advice, tips, or reviews. Meanwhile, other than
FitConnect apparel
, we do not support, sell, or distribute any fitness related products. Any advertisements viewed on this site are claims from outside companies. FitConnect has no opinion on their validity. We value the trust of our members.
Importance of Safety (Online and Off)...
Safety is important when using both the social and fitness features of our site. Please understand that people on this site may not be who you actually think they are. It is very important to avoid meeting up with members of FitConnect in person, due to the threat of online predators. We recommend users keep contact information a secret. Please review our privacy policy for more information on how to keep your info private. Also, we want to remind users to take precaution when seeking guidance from other members. No information on this site should be treated as medical advice and is not verified to work, or guaranteed not to be harmful. Please consult a medical physician before using any of the tips, workouts, supplements, etc. found on this site. It's better to be safe than skinny, strong, and athletic.
It's ok to brag...
There is a different form of etiquette on FitConnect. It's socially acceptable to brag about your gains, (weight) losses, and dedication. Feel free to express yourself and impress others with your pictures. Meanwhile, we want all members to feel comfortable posting their weight, stats, and progress pictures, so we have privacy preferences allowing you to moderate who can view certain aspects of your profile. Please keep the confident spirit by sending Brags to others. Sending a brag does not mean that you're in love with the person (unless stated otherwise), so don't be shy about telling people that "it's ok to brag."
The Future...
FitConnect is currently in beta mode, meaning the site is still a work in progress. We will be adding many features, such as size and weight tracking, in the near future. You can stay updated on our progress by following the

FitConnect creates a perfect environment for Fitness Professionals to connect with their current and prospective customers. If our site becomes saturated with spam, however, it will ruin the FitConnect experience for everyone. Therefore, we have listed promotional methods that abide by our terms of use.
Communicate with your current customers through FitConnect
Are your current customers on FitConnect? It benefits you if they are. If someone viewing your social network notices that you have a group of people that trust your opinion and listen to your advice, they are more likely to contact your regarding your services.
Build up your Fitness Center's community
Whether you are a personal trainer, nutritionist, or the owner of your fitness center, you benefit from having a larger fitness community. Each member creates a visible link to your fitness community, generating more traffic. If you are the venue's owner, this directly benefits you. If you are a trainer or nutritionist at the center, you will have a larger audience to display your expertise and generate a larger clientele.
Focus on helping, not promoting
Understand the goal of the people on FitConnect. They do not sign onto FitConnect with the mindset of "I want to pay someone." They sign on with the mindset of "I want to get some help getting in shape." Instead of soliciting members, help them. When they see that you're a key part of their fitness regime, they will be more open to using your services.
Up your Ranking
Our point system is based on participation, knowledge, and how you are received by other FitConnect members. Members are ranked both regionally and globally, receiving spotlight recognition (promotion) for their respective rank. Higher ranking members are considered to be more knowledgeable and active in his or her fitness community. Increasing your ranking will generate more traffic to your profile, resulting in more opportunity for increasing your client base.
Create a group and invite your customers and fans
You, or one of your friends, may create a group in support of your services which allows your customers and fans to join and show that they are your customer or value your service.
Avoid a profile that looks like a sales pitch… show you're a real person
Members are more likely to approach regarding products/services if your profile does not sound like an advertisement they just viewed. Distinguish yourself with knowledge, organization, and character, and your product/service will inherently be endorsed by a respectable FitConnect figure.
Fitness Center Owners
Take advantage of this site by connecting with your members. Strong fitness center communities create a sense of camaraderie among its members. Now, your fitness center can become a bigger attachment to its customers. Not only will this keep your current customers from leaving and attract new members to join, but it will also attract your community to participate in classes, contests, and events held at your venue.
If you have any other ideas, questions, or would like more advice on how to promote your fitness center or service, please feel free to

Our Mission
FitConnect was founded in order to connect people of all interest levels who value a fit and healthy lifestyle. Our goal is to create a free online community where members can share personal knowledge about health and fitness. We strive to create a positive environment where people can brag about their results, whether it involves losing 5 lbs. or improving their muscle performance. Our community is free from outside influences, such as supplement companies or fad diets, that often mislead the general population. We value the trust of our members as the key to our success. The future of FitConnect will establish an online community that dovetails with a fit and healthy lifestyle.
What is FitConnect?
FitConnect is an online social networking community with a core focus on Health and Fitness. It was created for people of all fitness levels to share tips, recipes, workouts, advice, results, and more.
Is FitConnect a dating website?
No, please do not treat this like a dating site.
Are there any fees for using FitConnect?
No, there are no fees involved for being a member of FitConnect.
I have to share my height and weight in my profile?
No, you do not have to submit your height and weight. However, if you do not want others to view your weight, we still recommend submitting it and marking it as only visible to yourself by editing your preferences. This allows you to get the most out of your FitConnect experience while still not allowing ANY users or staff to view your personal weight and measurements.
Am I allowed to post a picture of someone else as my profile pictures?
You are responsible for abiding by all copyright and trademark laws. You may only post pictures if you have the rights to them. As a FitConnect guideline, we insist that members post pictures of themselves or leave the default image as their icon.
Why am I only allowed to send my friends one brag a day?
You can only send a person one brag per day to avoid manipulating brag counts.
If I am a fitness professional, am I allowed to message people in my area and ask them if they would be interested in my services?
No! This is against our spam policy and will result in your account being removed if someone reports you. If you are interested in promoting yourself, view our
Fitness Pro Help
section to learn the best ways of promoting yourself on FitConnect while still obeying the code of conduct.
What is a sync?
Similar to a subscription, syncs allow you to follow and receive updates on another user's blog, pictures, recipes, tips, and groups. When you add someone as a fitster, you are given the option of syncing to any of those features. Syncs are anonymous.
What are notifications?
These notifications keep you updated on your network's social interaction on FitConnect.
Is there any way to see who is syncing to my content?
No. In order to protect the privacy of others, you may only view anonymous statistics on who syncs to your posted material. By default, all of your fitsters are synced to your updates, unless they edit their preferences.
I'm receiving a lot of sync messages that I don't want, why?
You probably have not yet edited your sync preferences yet which allows you to filter which syncs you receive and which syncs you do not. You can manage your syncs
. By default, when you become someone's fitster (friend), you are automatically synced to their submissions. You may change this default action
Point System
How does the point system work, and when is it updated?
The point system is based on a complicated algorithm that mixes your overall participation and quality of submitted material. Members are then ranked based on their score so that beginners will know the best people to seek for advice. The point system and ranking are updated at 9:00pm EST.
I haven't posted anything today and my rating still went up, why?
The point system is very complex and points are gained and lost based on how users respond to your posted data. Users caught attempting to manipulate the point system by attempting to lower a competitor's overall score without reason or by conspiring against a competitor will result in loss of points or possible termination of your account.
Does the Point System ever change?
The point system is subject to change and arbitration. Members may or may not be informed when there is a change in the point and ranking system.
Does how much I can lift, run, weigh, etc. have anything to do with my point total?
Nope. The point system is strictly based on the frequency and quality of the information you post and your social interaction. You physical size, shape, and performance ability has nothing to do with your point total or ranking.
Fitness Centers
If I join my fitness center's community does that sign me up for that fitness center?
NO! Our communities have no business affiliation with the actual fitness center. Joining or leaving our community does not affect your relationship or any contract with your fitness center. You may want to join a fitness center's community before joining to see if you like its social atmosphere.
Why is my fitness center not showing up in my area?
It's possibly we're not aware your fitness center exists. Click
to submit your fitness center's information.
How do I promote my fitness center?
First, make sure it is listed. Second, make sure all of your gym members are on FitConnect and have joined your community.
Why can't I edit my tip anymore?
Once someone has voted on your tip you lose the ability to edit the content. This stops people from changing a good tip that receives positive ratings into a bad one or a spam message.
Can I post a Recipe or Tip if I found it somewhere else?
You may only post an item taken from another source if you have received approval from the source and cite where you found it accordingly. Members are responsible for abiding by all laws, including copyright infringement. Re-posting items that have already been posted by others users is prohibited.
What can I do if someone is posting my Tips, Recipes, etc. as their own?
Please submit a complaint by
contacting us
. We will review the problem as fast as we can.
Can I trust everything I hear on FitConnect?
No! All information on this site is opinionated and considered non-professional advice. Some advice may be misleading so please consult your physician before engaging in any workouts, diets, behaviors, or supplement use.
Will FitConnect sell my email address to any outside sources?
No! Please review our privacy policy for more information.

9 Big Differences Between The Life Of Pi Movie And BookThe movie works because it takes all of the visions readers have created in their heads while reading Life and Pi and makes those visions bigger, bolder, and brighter.

Ok, so I have set up my site to have two sidebars on each side. I have put content in primary sidebar, secondary sidebar and tertial sidebar. On somme pages i want to have primary and secondary. But on Product Archive I want to have tertial and Secondary.
In drag and drop I have set up (in content area) the three sidebars. Primary to show sidebar one and two. And primary to hide tertialsidebar. In "Page Options" under product archve I have set to hide primary and to show tertial. But when I go to the page (in this case Jigoshop Product archive) The page will show primary and secondary.
I can however have one sidebar. And when I do, the tertial shows up. But only then. On either the left or the right side.
I have had issues before where the option to change settings in archive have not been visible at all. But this is different. Everything seems to work except it will not do as I say.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong. First I had put all the sidebars in drag and drop. So I could show and hide as I pleased. But @rangelone told me I couldn´t so I changed that. So is this a bug or something I am doing wrong?
And the site is

If Premier Christy really is dedicated to the families of British Columbia, she is certainly missing a huge opportunity to help the families that are dealing with addiction in their family.
If you work for BC Hydro or are an RCMP officer and have an addiction problem, funds ranging from $10,000 to $15,000 are available to provide residential rehab at high-end private clinics, a number of which operate in British Columbia: Edgewood in Nanaimo is one of the prime examples.
However, if you are addicted and on the streets, no agency in B.C. will provide any funds to get similar 90-day treatment.
We do have an incredible network of underground, mostly faith-based rehab facilities that do an astounding job. But it is actually illegal for our health districts to even refer clients to those facilities, and the waiting list to get in is in the hundreds, maybe even the thousands.
Women and children have the fewest opportunities.
The despair that comes from addiction and mental illness on our streets is devastating.
Report after report proves that individuals who behave as our street population does cost society millions of dollars per year.
Their lifestyle creates situations that plug our hospitals, our ambulance services, and our mental health facilities, yet we are not willing to contribute any monies toward getting these people the help they need.
Any of our frontline health care workers, psych nurses, and first responders will tell you the system is dysfunctional: "We stabilize from psychosis and send them out on their merry way."
If any organization dares to believe in sobriety as an answer, as opposed to the government's officially adopted harm reduction model, they are shunned from the system.
Our current system with harm reduction apparently has helped create more than 15,000 methadone addicts in the province, many of whom report getting hooked while incarcerated in our prison system.
Without getting into a lengthy debate about the irresponsibility of the harm-reduction method, getting sober from methadone is one of the most difficult addictions to break.
It is not surprising that a certain group of doctors and pharmacists seem to specialize in the supply and administration of methadone. Let's leave that discussion for another day.
Maple Ridge's advocate workers have been successful in the past in finding facilities for some of our folks to get into effective treatment programs. Some have had to actually go more than once and some have even been committed to more than a year to the Baldy Hughes facility in Prince George.
Facilities such as Vision Quest, Hope for Freedom Society, and Hannah House need $10,000 per year to support a bed which on average would pull three or four people off the streets and perhaps even a couple of them forever, but Christy won't fund them.
The cost is less than the civil cost of not giving them a bed, and the proof is the four-to-six-week lineup for detox.
Ministers Rich Coleman and Lorne Mayencourt show compassion and understanding about dealing with the problem.
They have been trying - through the tools available to them - to advance the cause, with no apparent leadership from the premier's office.
Her advisers' answers range from: "It doesn't show up on polling, therefore, it is not an issue," to, "It costs too much because there are too many of them," and, "There are not enough people who really want to go."
Obviously, these can't all be right. So Premier Christy, if you really care about families, approve a couple of dozen of the best facilities in B.C. and immediately authorize them to expand, and fund them $10,000 per year per bed for "every person who wants to go."
Your battle cry should be, "If you or someone in your family needs treatment, raise your hand."
And Premier Christy, you are blessed to already have a group of hardworking MLAs, led by Randy Hawes, who could have a program in place in days.
There is an addiction and abuse crisis in B.C. that is growing.
To date, the government and health authorities are in denial of this fact.
If there was a place to go, I wonder how long the line would be?

Direct E-Cig 'Free' Offer for Smokeless Cigarettes Turned Into a Real Drag, Consumers Tell BBB
by Nick LaFleur on Apr. 28, 2011, under alert, Life, scam, TipsConsumers who tried to take advantage of "free" Internet offers for smokeless cigarettes say they were burned by unexpected charges that totaled $100 or more, Better Business Bureau warns.
Customers from 44 states have filed more than 360 complaints against Direct E-Cig of Naples, Fla., and London, England, in the last year, including at least one Tucson consumer.
Direct E-Cig has an "F" grade with BBB, the lowest grade possible.
Kim States, BBB president, said Direct E-Cig failed to answer 170 of the complaints.
"The complaints point to a significant and ongoing pattern of problems with Direct E-Cig," she said. "In most cases, consumers say they ordered what they thought was a free starter kit, only to find out later that the company billed their credit cards for $100, $200, or more.
On its website, Direct E-Cig calls its product "a revolutionary electronic smoking device designed as a great smoking alternative to traditional tobacco cigarettes." The site says smokers can smoke "virtually anywhere, without the flame, ash, tar or carbon monoxide."
Direct E-Cig is among several distributors of smokeless cigarettes. Other companies also offer free or discounted starter kits and then bill customers for the full price or enroll them in an ongoing program to receive cartridge refills and other products.
In response to some of the complaints, Direct E-Cig told BBB its website notes that consumers must go through a cancellation process within 15 days "to avoid being billed the full price of the kit of $109.95 and future monthly shipments." Several consumers said they received direct email solicitations from the company and never saw the cancellation policy.
Even if consumers are dissatisfied with the product and follow the return policy exactly, it appears that the so-called free trial offer will end up costing them money. The website notes that Direct E-Cig charges $7.50 for each opened or missing cartridge and a $10 restocking fee on all returns.
In March, Arizona Attorney General, Tom Horne, filed suit against Smoke Freely, LLC, an Arizona company that sells electronic cigarettes. Defendants in the suit claim Smoke Freely misrepresented their "Risk Free Trial" when marketing the product.
BBB offers the following advice for consumers who are considering taking advantage of free or low-cost trial offers for smokeless cigarettes or other products:
- Be very cautious of committing to trial offers, especially when you are asked to supply credit card information. Often, these offers require you to pay the full price for the product or automatically enroll you in an ongoing program as soon as the trial period is over.
- Consumers often report difficulty canceling their agreements, even if they try to follow all requirements.
- Understand that, in some cases, these companies can supply your contact information to other businesses.

Tap to activate Pan & Zoom is killing us in user testing.
The following features would provide a seamless navigation scheme:
* Autoplay Pan & Zoom; and
* Hot Zones for Pro Edition
Are either of these features on the horizon?
Also, for your pan & zoom comment, I suggest taking a look at how National Geographic handles this. They have a nice little overlay on the pan and zoom with a clear indication to the reader of how to interact with it, that disappears on tap. Very nicely done. It's not auto-play, but it is an effective way to guide readers.

26 June 2012
Three rugby teams in the Caerphilly county borough have been recognised by the Mayor for their achievement in the recent SWALEC Cup tournament.
Representatives from New Tredegar RFC, Penallta RFC and Crosskeys RFC attended a special event at Penallta House council offices this week where they were presented with certificates of achievement from the Mayor, Cllr Gaynor Oliver.
The three teams got the chance to play at the Millennium Stadium in May during the finals of the prestigious annual SWALEC tournament.
New Tredegar came close to victory in the SWALEC Bowl final losing to Glyncoch in a very close game.
Penallta beat Nant Conwy in the final to claim the SWALEC Plate.
Crosskeys won the SWALEC Cup title after beating 4 times winners Pontypridd.
The leader of Council, Cllr Harry Andrews, was also present and congratulated the teams, "You can all be proud of these fantastic achievements - that's why we thought it important to formally recognise your efforts in this way. It was also great to see the whole community rally together during the competition with hundreds of people of all ages travelling down to the Millennium Stadium to cheer on the players."
Lloyd Burns, ex-Pontypool, Crosskeys, Newport Gwent Dragons and Wales hooker, was also present to show his support for the teams.

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (February 11, 2013)--A rocket carrying an Earth observation satellite was scheduled to lift off Monday from the California coast on a mission to keep a continuous eye on the planet's resources.
The countdown for the Atlas V launch began Monday morning from the Vandenberg Air Force Base along California's central coast.
The Landsat satellite is the eighth of its kind to be launched since 1972 to track glaciers, forest fires, crop production and coastlines.
Unlike its predecessors, the latest carries more powerful sensors and can return more images.
For the past four decades, the polar-orbiting Landsat satellites have documented changes to Earth's surface including the effects of deforestation and urban sprawl.
NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey manage the $855 million mission.

Mayor touts city schools' recent success
Twenty-two of the state's top 25 schools are in the five boroughs, as measured by new Common Core exams, the mayor said Monday.
