From Mobile to Mobility
Texting your way to fitness.
Remember the days when cell phones were simply used for making phone calls? Well, today's mobile devices are equipped to do more than just have conversations. Via cell phones, users are now accessing the Web, text messaging friends, taking digital photos, streaming videos and of course, making phone calls.
Seventy-five percent of Americans own a cell phone or a PDA, and 62% of them participate in digital activities away from home or work (Pew Internet & American Life Project 2008). In other words, the convenience of mobile phones is helping more people stay current and connected than ever before. So, how can personal trainers leverage this technology? In this article, learn to reach clients in creative ways and market your services through text messaging.
Text messaging (or 'texting' for short) has been around for years; therefore, it is not a new way to connect with clients. However, new Web-based applications are now available that pair text messaging with other online features, creating more advanced texting opportunities for personal trainers.
Text messages are brief messages via cell phone using 160 characters or fewer. Fifty-eight percent of people who have a mobile device use it to send or receive text messages (Pew Internet & American Life Project 2008). In December 2007, approximately 48 billion text messages were sent in 1 month (CTIA).
Fitness companies, such as FITtoPHONE .com, have been using texting as a method of delivering fitness programming, nutritional guidance and workout routines to clients. Wellsphere.com, a newer online community where members create and track their health goals, features text messaging as an option for sending health reminders ("take vitamins") and updating fitness progress via cell ("text in the number of miles you ran today"). Another technology-based service, EcFit (www.extracon.com), delivers automatic workout reminders and tracks fitness progress via voice mails and text messages. (See sidebar for other ways text messaging is used for health and fitness.)
The traditional approach to texting requires you to know the phone numbers of the contacts to whom you wish to send a text. And oftentimes, sending and receiving texts from a cell phone becomes costly, especially if you (or your clients) do not have an unlimited text-messaging plan. Your phone service provider should have an option for sending free texts on its website, but keep in mind that the receiver of your message may incur the costs of the incoming text. You can also send free text messages from independent sites like www.txt2day.com (which has a "no spam" clause promising against solicitation of all numbers entered on its website).
If you are an avid "texter," at some point you purge your phone's inbox to make room for new messages. Unfortunately, deletion of these messages eliminates all records of correspondence with a client. Peekamo (www.peekamo .com) is a Web-based application that allows you to send and receive messages, and it saves your incoming and outgoing texts (similar to e-mail). As an added feature, you can schedule text messages for delivery at a future date. This is helpful when you cannot text multiple messages during your busy day. Simply schedule all your texts the night, week or month before and let Peekamo do the rest. And there's a bonus: Peekamo works with international phone numbers and is free for both the sender (since it is Web-based) and the receiver (if you don't mind a short ad contained at the end of every text).
As mentioned above, a limitation to text messaging is having to know the phone numbers of the people to whom you are texting. Textmarks (www.text marks.com) is a free service that allows those who want to receive regular text messages to subscribe (or unsubscribe) at their own discretion. For example, if personal trainer "Bob" wants to send his clients daily fitness tips, rather than sending a message to each client individually, he could create a "textmark" for the keyword "TrainingTips." His clients could then text the word "TrainingTips" to 41411 to subscribe and receive his daily text messages. All Bob would have to do is update his tips (which are called "alerts") on the Textmarks website (or directly from his phone), and everyone who subscribed to his tips would receive those messages regularly.
Create as many textmarks as you want. How about one for the gym for weekly updates? Or one for your training staff for meeting reminders? Transfer your textmark onto a T-shirt (at www.reactee.com, which works together with Textmarks) and advertise your services while you are training.
Unless you have small fingers, texting on the keypad of a cell phone can prove challenging. Jott (www.jott.com) is a free service that converts your voice into e-mails, text messages, reminders, lists and appointments. Let's say you're running late to a training session and you want to send a quick text to a client from the road. Since texting while driving is not a safe option, simply call Jott (on speed dial, of course), state the name of your client and say "Get started on the treadmill. I will be there in 10 minutes." Jott will translate your message into text and send it to your client instantly (either by phone or e-mail). You can "Jott" to an individual or a group of people. A unique feature of Jott is its integration with other Web-based applications, which means you can even use it to create posts on your blog or appointments directly on your Google calendar.
Text messaging can also be used to collect information from your clients or members anonymously. Have you ever wanted comments on a fitness program or feedback on trainers' performances? Poll Everywhere (www.polleverywhere .com) is a Web-based polling service that allows people to send their responses to you via text. For example, create a multiple-choice question regarding a preferred day for a boot camp class. Or gather opinions about the class by creating a "free-form" poll where people can text in their comments. One unique advantage to Poll Everywhere is that your data can be downloaded directly into PowerPoint slides, making for a great presentation. Unfortunately, free membership limits you to 30 responses per poll. Check out the various upgrades for more options. (See "Sample Polls" for an example.)
If after exploring these free services you are serious about integrating text messaging into your business plan, you might look into using paid services that specifically specialize in mobile marketing. A Google search for "text-messaging marketing services" will generate a list of companies that best suit your budget. At a minimum, most mobile marketing campaigns will offer comparable services to the free sites listed above. But they can also customize features to meet your professional needs, such as specialized ringtones, mobile wallpapers with your logo, and various contests and games.
B.J. Fogg, the founder and director of the Persuasive Technology Lab at Stanford University and editor of the book Mobile Persuasion, claims "mobile phones will soon become the most important platform for changing human behavior." Fogg has been investigating the impact of mobile phones since 2001 and believes that "within 15 years, no other medium—TV, word of mouth, the Web—will be more effective at changing what we humans believe and what we do."
Using text messaging to promote health behaviors and improve exercise adherence is as easy as texting "1, 2, 3." But when this technology is integrated with Web-based applications, the advantages multiply. Although some clients may not appreciate being bombarded with hundreds of text messages, others might find communicating via text is just what they need to stay committed to their fitness goals. n
November–December 2008 IDEA Trainer Success
USE Example
Use TMs to extend a training program between sessions. Suggest exercises (or surprise clients with pop-fitness challenges) to reinforce health behaviors.
Send quick educational tips about the latest in health and fitness news. Preview topics you plan on discussing in an upcoming session.
Offer "extra" motivation or incentives between sessions. Since exercise adherence is always a concern with trainers, staying connected with your clients during the week is important.
Collect information and/or feedback from clients regarding their progress. Ask how they are feeling after a session or log other workouts they did during the week.
Keep your clients on the ball. Send reminders about their schedule so they continue to stick to a routine.

I brought the Webley xocet 3months ago now from a shop in leeds, it is brilliant to use and drops rabbits from 60+yards with a single shot
Written on: 28/11/2008
Hi,

and these airguns are very useful for rabbit control, mine is good handling and reliable.

BUT...rabbit at 60 yards? The Olympic shooting team are waiting for your call ! The pellet drop at 60 yards is a good 6 inches so with some wind and human input, not realstic. You'd only wound at this range and if this is ok with you, sell the gun now.

My HLT overflow protect switch came in today. Jr says it passes QC. I wish my element protect switches were in.
Finished all the wiring last night. Should be doing a test tonight and brew tomorrow!
I tested it out with 3 gals in each, switches between elements perfectly. The box worked but its real tight in there especially with the large computer power supply. It will work but its real tight especially with my rats nest wiring. This should hold me over until i have additional funds to go automated and get a proper large box.
Brew tomorrow with a 33 lbs grain bill . I'll have to lift the wort up to the boil kettle since i have no pump, the drop is not enough for my tiny CFC. I badly need to upgrade to a CFC with a 1/2 copper coil.
my 2' 3/8" SS rod came in today.. well it was supposed to.. instead i got an empty box with a 3/8 hole in the bottom. Luckily its amazon so ill have it replaced no problem. This will be the stir rod for my HLT. Ill be making a SS prop with the keg cutouts.
anyone know why the master switch wont work? It turns the system on but wont light up. I have one of the legs that supplies the power supply running 240v hooked up to it. That should be pushing 120v thru it no?
take a pic of the back of the switch
I realize now what is needed to light up the switch. I need to wire it like in the third pic on this item description,http://www.ebrewsupply.com/indicator...sh-button.html
Sadly i was not able to brew. I will have to hold off till monday. On the up side my float switches came in from china so i can wire in the element protection circuit before then.
I fixed the master switch, ran the wire thru the light circuit so it lights up when on.
Finally got to brewing yesterday. My manual mash recirc sucked dumping three gals into a 3000w turkey fry pot to adjust temp.
I ran into an issue. My 5500w SSRs stay on when turned off. Its only after they have been on for a bit. Any ideas why this is happening?
I got my hands on a nice big waterproof box to upgrade to. This should be big enough to run everything i would ever dream to expand to. Its 24"x 18" and like 10" deep. It has a few holes but i can easily make use of them, nothing excessive. Best of all it has some hardware i can use. I'm not sure what the control box is for, but im sure its not a brew controller.
BTW i still have not figured out why the SSRs that control the 5500w elements stay when they have been on for a while. The 3500w are wired the same exact way and dont have an issue.The SSR's are rated at 40A so its not like im over powering it either. I can swap between the two as designed when only doing so for a few seconds. Once the elements have been on for a min or two it seems to freeze the SSR in the on position and allows me to turn on two 5500w elements at the same time.... on the same 30A leg :O Does anyone have any recommendations to help?

Man Collapses, Dies After Dancing 'Gangnam Style'
Eamonn Kilbride, a 46-year-old father of three, had been performing the dance moves made famous by South Korean rapper PSY.
A British man died after he collapsed from chest pains that formed following his performance of the dance to the hit song "Gangnam Style."
Eamonn Kilbride, a 46-year-old IT manager, was dancing at his office party in Blackburn, England, performing the horse moves that have earned South Korean rapper PSY worldwide fame and nearly one billion YouTube video views. A father of three children between the ages of 22 and 18, Kilbride was celebrating his wife Julie's birthday at the party.
"He was up onstage and entertaining everybody. He said he had a bit of a pain and just collapsed," she told the Telegraph of London. "He loved me dearly and would tell people all the time. I know he thought the world of us."
The death has health officials in England warning middle-aged men to monitor their activity and not to overexert themselves. Kilbride's official cause of death was acute heart failure caused by coronary artery atheroma.

Places to Buy Halloween Costumes in Flint and Genesee County for 2013
There are lots of places to buy Halloween costumes this year in the Flint area (especially in Burton), so we've listed where in Genesee County you can find a costume for 2013.

The next time you think it would be funny to scare the living daylights out of someone, you might want to consider this: medical experts say that an intense fright can severely stun the heart, enough even to kill a perfectly healthy human being.
The weather might be more ice cream trucks and long days at the pool, but the calendar is inching towards yellow buses and new backpacks. Every parent knows about back-to-school clothes and back-to-school supplies, but nowadays, back-to-school apps are just as important.
A shooting at the Clackamas Town Center, which is located near Portland, Ore., has left at least three people dead and one seriously wounded, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office. Officials say that one of the deceased was the gunman.
Despite spending Halloween and Thanksgiving side-by-side, Chris Brown and Rihanna have continued to pretend everyone is too stupid to realize they're back together.
So maybe this picture of her straddling him is their official coming-out. On the plus side, at least she's wearing all her clothes this time.
This kid can make a song about anything .
It's now apparent that trying to book 'America's Next Top Model' winners isn't the only herculean task with which Wilhelmina Models is saddled. But this time around, they brought the pain upon themselves -- because they've signed Chris Brown.
Yes, as a model.
Chart-topping artists Ludacris and Usher want to motivate everyone to pursue their dreams in their inspiring video for 'Rest of My Life.' In the clip, the duo perform their anthemic song on a smoky road while images of people being triumphant in their everyday lives are intercut throughout.
Last month, Chris Brown and his cronies felt the need to dress up like armed Arab terrorists for Halloween, which generated plenty of backlash from fans and critics. So what is Brown's response to the costume brouhaha? "Get over it!" he says.
Now that the election is over, we can go back to being annoyed by the usual stuff on Facebook -- Farmville updates, the unceasing stream of invites to comedian friends' weekly shows, pictures that promise "likes" will somehow generate something for somebody somewhere ... and everybody's pets.
In another photo taken by a mystery camera-person, Rihanna has once again shown us she's not shy. This time she appeared in only the jewelry, lingerie and shoes from her Victoria Secret Fashion Show performance on Wednesday night.

Annabel Karmel launches first TV campaign
Childrens' food brand Annabel Karmel is launching its first-ever television advertising campaign in a bid to attract new customers and raise awareness of its new chilled food range for toddlers.
The brand has decided to make its first foray into TV to support the launch of its 12-strong chilled toddler meal range. The range has been created to meet the demands of time-pressed families who want to give their children freshly prepared meals but do not have the time to cook from scratch.
Annabel Karmel has decided to expand her brand to tap into growing concerns amongst parents over their children's diet. She explains: 'Mums have a great deal of guilt about what they feed their children and I want to show mothers there is an alternative to cooking from scratch,'
The ad, which is created by Quite Frankly Productions in collaboration with Grainger & Wolff and animation experts Scubaboy Inc, launches today.
Explaining the rationale behind the campaign, Karmel adds: 'TV presents a prime route to market to generate awareness on a much larger scale that we have ever done before. With primetime TV being too costly, our research identified Nick Jr and Disney Jr as highly relevant channels in targeting our key audience base – mums and parents with children ages 0 to 5.'
The brand will be supporting the campaign with activation across social media channels and onlien channels. 'A generation ago, people would tend to go to their mothers for advice, but now the first place they go is online. Mumsnet is fantastic for its forums, enabling mums to reach out to other mums in similar situations,' explains Karmel.

Transportation giant J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. has entered into a settlement with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), over charges of racial discrimination based on a criminal background check. In a statement issued by the Commission, the EEOC claims that J.B. Hunt discriminated against an African-American job candidate who was denied a truck driver position at a J.B. Hunt facility in San Bernardino in 2009. The agency claims that the company denied employment based on a criminal conviction record that was unrelated to the duties of the job. The alleged victim has entered into a private settlement agreement with J.B. Hunt.
In addition to the specific allegations in the San Bernardino incident, the EEOC investigated the company's broad policies and warned against the use of blanket prohibitions that disqualify candidates with criminal records. The EEOC news release cites its policy guidance which was reissued on April 25, 2012.

This coming week, in events that get to your heart through your stomach.
Thursday, June 21
Who is Madison's top bartender? A few contenders will make their case for that title in The Ultimate Cocktail Event, a cocktail mixing competition that's part of the third annual edition of Summer Indulgence, a week of food festivities put on by Vom Fass. The hopefuls are: Chad Vogel and Vanessa Shipley from Maduro, Matt Young from Merchant, Grant Hurless from Nostrano, Kevin Trottier from Osteria Papavero, Don Wieder from Woody and Anne's, Ruben Mendez from L'Etoille, and Peter Hunt from The Old Fashioned. Each will present their best shot at "Madison's Favorite Cocktail" in a bid to earn votes in this year's Madison's Favorites ballot, and then concoct a memorable drink from a secret pantry of ingredients in the "Mad City Mix-Off" round.

Girl Scouts accept Fall Product Program orders Oct. 14-28
Staff Report
Area Girl Scouts will be accepting orders for the 2011 Fall Product Program Oct. 14-28.
New to the product line-up this fall are chocolate-covered pretzels in a schoolhouse tin, blueberry pomegranate nut crunch, mint treasures, Zen crunch mix (wasabi peas, sesame sticks and various nuts) and chocolate truffles (sugar-free).
Returning favorites are caramel treasures (in a suitcase tin to celebrate Girl Scouts' 100th anniversary in 2012), chocolate-covered raisins, malted milk balls, deluxe pecan clusters and peanut butter dreams.
Nut items include whole cashews, honey-roasted peanuts and chocolate-covered almonds and peanuts.
A sweet fruit slice assortment is also offered, in addition to a combo three-pack of cashews, peanuts and wasabi almonds.
Food products range from $5 to $10.
Girls are also able to offer magazine subscriptions through door-to-door sales or online ordering.
Visit http://www.girlscoutsni.org/fall_product_line.html for product previews. To order, ask a local Girl Scout or e-mail your order to email@example.com, where it will be filled and delivered by a Girl Scout in your area.
The Fall Product Program aims to assist girls in developing goal-setting, decision-making, money management, people and business ethics skills.
Proceeds from the Fall Products Program help troops to fund activities and service projects that begin long before the Winter Girl Scout Cookie Program.
Girl Scout Product Programs differ from traditional fund-raisers by encouraging girls to work together to decide how to spend troop funds, rather than dictating what the money will be used toward.
Gift of Caring Program
Any community member may energize and encourage members of the military through the Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois' Gift of Caring Program.
A $5 donation purchases one candy/nut item, and four $5 donations purchases one subscription to a magazine.
All candy, nuts and magazine subscriptions are ordered virtually and donated directly to the military. Each donation will be accompanied by a girl's personal thank-you note or drawing.
Creative Funding Opportunity Program
The Creative Funding Opportunity (CFO) Program is designed specifically for Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors (grades six through 12) who participate in the Fall Product Program. It allows girls to hone their communications skills by connecting with local businesses.
This direct contact not only offers businesses an online means to purchase quality products for corporate gift-giving but also opens up career exploration opportunities for girls.
The CFO Program offers a deluxe line of products in elegant tins and cut-glass jars. Product previews are available at www.ashdonfarmscfo.com. All items are ordered online, with credit for the purchase going to the girl or troop participating in the CFO Program.
Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois
Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois serves more than 20,000 girls and nearly 6,000 adult volunteers in parts or all of Boone, Carroll, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Jo Daviess, Kane, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle, Lee, McHenry, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside, and Winnebago counties.
Call (800) 242-5591 or visit www.girlscoutsni.org for more information.

I would love to have a Microsoft Surface RT because the hardware has gotten good reviews. I just wouldn't use the OS. I would put Ubnutu on it. The only problem is that I haven't found any videos where someone has done this successfully with RT or the Pro. Apparently Microsoft has locked it down. Even with the UEFI handled on the Pro it isn't possible. If anybody knows of a video of someone successfully putting a different OS onto an RT let me know here.

Stretching money with beans without stretching my pants with flatulence
I've been doing some research on how to cook dried beans to minimize flatulence. Among the schools of thought that I've come across say to soak for 24 hours, to soak for 24 hours with baking soda, to cook to boiling and break the skin, and then soak for 24 hours, to do all of the above with the addition of caraway seeds, cardamon, and cumin, to purchase Alpha-galacticose (beano) and just use that with the first bite of beans, several folk remedies that don't seem scientific in nature (buttermilk, boiling for extra extra extra long times) and many other ideas.
My objective is to make bean/turkey/bacon soup with a high acid base using tomato paste as the base in a pressure canner. The pressure canner will reach 240 degrees for 90 minutes, so I'm not worried about cooking time. The spices I've mentioned are all palatable to me. Keeping a high acid concentration is fine with me, and I'm willing to take an Alpha-galacticose tablet before eating to keep my pantstink to the lowest possible degree.
That's as far as I've gotten with my research. I have stored a lot of dried beans and legumes, and it's time for me to go into survival mode to make the best use of these materials. I have seven months to stretch my resources as much as I can.
I can add any foods I want in the jar as long as they can survive 90 minutes at 240 degrees. However, I want to take a quart of soup with me to work and eat from that for an eight hour day, get home, and hopefully shunt the money I would spend on feeding myself to feeding my children and my wife.
Ultimately, I want to make a jar of bean/bacon/turkey (or chicken) for about $3 for a 32oz jar and not fart all day at work.
If that means I need to make a somewhat concentrated version of the soup and dilute it at work, nuke it for a couple of minutes, and season to taste I can do that. I just want to make sure the base is going to do the job.
Thank you for any feedback
re: absurdnerdbird
The Indian spice ajwain is supposed to do the same, as is fenugreek (methi). Taste them both first though, ajwain in particular is pretty distinctive. The gas is caused by a few kinds of sugars that your body just can't digest, so breaking them down will lessen the fart factor. I'm told long cooking helps with that; it's possible your high-heat method may have the same effect.
re: Emmmily
Faetida seems to have the same effect.
re: magiesmom
Agree. And not just beans, and if you eat a high fiber diet in general you can tolerate more beans. And drink LOTS of water.
re: magiesmom
I was going to say the same thing. Just start eating them regularly and the "fart phase" will pass quickly.
I soak sometimes, don't soak others; put the cooking water in soup; use salt during cooking; and never experience gastro issues.
re: magiesmom
My mil swears that adding a bay leaf or two to the beans while they are cooking reduces the flatulence causing effects.
When using chickpeas, First I rinse them, then I cook them and as soon as I can handle them I remove their skins. It helps greatly digesting them.
I've heard that epazote and caraway seeds are supposed to help, but you've probably found in your research that the problem is very large protein (not sugar) molecules that the human digestive track has a hard time processing. Beano is an enzyme that breaks those proteins into smaller, easy to digest pieces, and that's probably the only reliable method. Another thing, the bean variety seems to make a big difference. As for me, I tolerate lentils and chick peas the best, but scarlet runner beans create a major gas attack.
re: Zeldog
No, the culprit is most definitly not protein. The flatulence inducing compounds in legumes are complex oligosacharrides. Specifically they are oligosacharrides with alpha-galactosidic linkages between monosacharrides. Humans (and other mammals) lack the enzyme necessary to break down these carbohydrates. The anti-gas product Beano is an enzyme, alpha-galactosidase, which helps to digest these oligo-sacharrides before they reach our large intestines and make mischief.
The longer you soak them, the more the proteins that cause the problems will break down. My foolproof method - bring the beans to the boil. Change the water and bring them BACK to the boil, then soak them in the second batch of water for 24 hours, or even longer (but they can get mushy if you let them go toooooo long). Rinse them off and bring them back to the boil and use them in your recipe. Since you're going to cook them in the pressure canner, you can reverse the process - soak them overnight before you cook them.
re: TerriL
That's the Narsai David method, except you want the water boiling before you add the beans. The heat is off while you let them sit, which I'm sure is what you meant,
re: GH1618
You're right -- add beans to already boiling water, boil uncovered for 2 minutes, take off heat, cover, and let sit for 1 hour before draining and rinsing. I too got the method from Narsai David, but just assumed it had been around forever. I don't remember Narsai saying you need to rinse after draining, but I do anyway. I boil for 2 minutes, not the 5 that Sandylc describes below.
re: TerriL
I've discovered that you don't have to do the hour sitting thing. This is usually referred to as a "quick soak" method; I have learned over the years that no soak is required at all for dried beans. The five minutes is for the gassy part; the soaking is supposed to be for the beans to cook properly, but it isn't necessary.
