A lot has changed since Camp Vacamas' founding in 1924—for one, the camp is now co-ed—but its number one mission persists: to empower young people. Spread across 230 wooded acres, the camp offers ample opportunity for children to develop relationships with nature and one another, whether going an on overnight trip, swimming in the private 50-acre lake, or while biking through Pennsylvania Dutch country. Parents can enroll their children and teens in one of several programs, including two- or three-week sleep-away camps, day camps, day trips, and overnight retreats. No matter the program, campers will be exposed to a wealth of learning experiences pertaining to social skills, confidence, making new friends, and best practices for roasting marshmallows.
Just 30 minutes from the George Washington Bridge lies a summer oasis for kids, where fresh air abounds and activities keep them wholesomely entertained all day. Since 1979, Day Camp In The Park has provided area youngsters with outlets for sports and artistic expression during the summer, when school is out and kids can?t satisfy their math and science cravings. On Lake Tiorati, kids learn how to row and sail, and a multitude of sports fields and courts provide access to just about any game played with a ball. Above all, the camp strives to give kids the chance to reach goals and come home with new achievements, whether by learning new strokes in the pool or remembering all their lines in a play.
The Appalachian Trail stretches from Georgia to Maine, running 2,180 miles over mountains, rocky slopes, and deep valleys. Since it was established in 1925, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) has cared for the trail, maintaining 250,000 acres of public land. The organization educates hikers on Leave No Trace camping and why it's not a good idea to challenge a bear to a hugging contest.
Volunteers and trail crews build and repair shelters along the footpath and engage youth and community members in outdoor activities. In addition to these human-oriented services, the ATC works to protect endangered species living along the trail and to preserve the land's watershed streams and migratory corridor.

Exercise is challenging, and people frequently give up on their fitness routines. How do you keep clients motivated?
The best way to keep people motivated is for them to see the results of their hard work!
What is the biggest mistake you see people make when trying to get fit on their own?
Mistakes in form lead to injury. It is very common for people to come to us with back, neck, and shoulder injuries resulting from diligent?but incorrect?home fitness routines. Even if you know the proper form, it isn't always easy to tell if you are implementing it correctly. For this reason, even the best instructors often have their own instructors to observe their form.
Besides working out, what else can clients do to spend their time at your facility?
We offer massage, as well as workshops related to health and wellness.
Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?
We pride ourselves on having a strong community atmosphere.
Greenburgh Nature Center boasts approximately 33 acres of woodland preserve teeming with trails and gardens, attracting more than 70,000 nature lovers each year. Animal enthusiasts can investigate the indoor live-animal museum and its more than 100 specimens, and knowledgeholics can binge on the center's continuing research on American eels, waterfowls, eastern screech owls, and flatworms. Outdoor animal displays abound with creatures such as prairie dogs and rabbits. The upcoming exhibit The Way of Water follows the progression of Westchester's watersheds and includes live aquatic animals such as the invisible mermaid.
With a long-standing commitment to the health and well-being of girls, women, and their families, YWCA Bergen County and its fitness classes help strengthen the mind and body, in a safe, supportive, and fun environment. The history of the organization is rich with groundbreaking programs to bolster race relations, achieve women's empowerment, support social-justice issues, and promote children's health by providing access to physical activity. Other fitness initiatives take place in the YWCA's gyms, where instructors put to use training in Zumba, yoga, and other disciplines. Employees further the organization's vision with dedication to school-age programs, child-care, and other health and fitness efforts in our community.

Free-electron laser irradiation can superheat tissue water, driving thermal vapor bubbles confined by tissue matrix and leading to mechanical tissue failure (ablation). Acoustic transients propagating from an ablation cavity were recorded with a polarization quadrature, interferometric vibrometer. For 3.0 μm infrared irradiation, the shocklike transients with peak pressures in the megapascal range indicate amplification due to bubble collapse. In contrast, for 6.45 μm irradiation, elastic transients with peak pressures in the 0.1 MPa range indicate tissue failure during bubble growth.

The name Facelogic offers a pretty transparent description of the spa?s intentions: treating facial skin issues in the most logical manner. The staff of skin experts relies on customizable and organically fueled facials that get their skin-healing power from vitamins, minerals, and trace elements to combat everything from acne to dry patches. The team of aestheticians can blast away skin problems ranging from acne to acne scars to clogged pores with microdermabrasion treatments, and they can whisk away unwanted hair and shape eyebrows with a bowl of warm wax or a stencil.
Dr. Maletz wants to see smaller numbers on scales, pant labels, and?most importantly?medical studies regarding obesity-related diseases. He shares this mission with the community through broader-scale initiatives aimed at improving school lunches and the readability of nutrition labels, and through personalized plans for clients at his weight-loss centers. There, he and his team of bariatric specialists guide patients through their medical weight-loss programs step by step. They tailor treatments for individual needs, customizing diet plans, administering weekly injections of lipotropic and Lipo B compounds, and recommending FDA-approved appetite suppressants and medications.
In the midst of the car horns and workaday tasks that often define city living, it's hard to find a minute's peace. Not so at Serenity Wellness Spa, whose front doors block the world's worries from disrupting the center's restful mission. Inside, practitioners bring a sense of calm through the chaos with spa services ranging from massages to facials. Muscles relax thanks to traditional Swedish and deep-tissue bodywork, or access deeper comfort through specialty treatments like Thai massage and energy-balancing reflexology. That same expertise also extends to the surface, where skincare treatments clear up everything from age line and acne to dehydration and dullness.
Savy Salon's team of barbers and stylists cut and style men's and women's hair. Along with precision cuts and shaves, they sell 100% virgin Indian remy hair, available in a variety of lengths and colors.
Behind a sleek mahogany desk, a smiling receptionist greets visitors to Trendsetter Salon before they sink into leather chairs to await hair or nail appointments. In the hands of stylist, shears and scissors move in a metallic flurry and blow dryers purr during smoothing treatments. Beyond geometric art mounted on the clean white walls, nail techs perform mani-pedis at cozy stations and cosmeticians deftly apply make-up to accentuate features or make your clown face seem appropriate for discussing fire safety.
Because no two bodies are alike, the skilled massage therapists at LaCour's tailor treatments to each client's individual needs. A skilled massage therapist may administer flowing Swedish or shiatsu techniques to ease tension or apply firmer deep-tissue pressure to access lower-layer aches. Guests may also solicit LaCour's all-natural products for beautifying treatments such as mani-pedis, relaxing facials, and specialty waxing.

She was also very involved in the parks activities, such as The Bay Indies Players Society, the Hand and Foot Club, Garden Club, Mah Jong, Christmas Decorating and Dessert Cards. Recently, she had spent many hours rehearsing for a solo and other roles in the Bay Indies Spring Production.
Theresa will be remembered by her friends and family for her dedication and devotion to those she loved. Her six granddaughters were her pride and joy.

English Civil War
1642-48 Armed conflict between the forces of the English Parliament and those of King Charles I caused by a complex of political, economic, religious and social problems. The policies of both... read more
Martyn Bennett examines how the terminology we use about the great conflict of the mid-seventeenth century reflects and reinforces the interpretations we make.
In this edited version of a lecture given on 25 March 1999, to commemorate the anniversary of Cromwell's birth, John Morrill provides us with a series of snapshots, at different ages, of the troubled visionary who aspired to lead a new chosen people out of the bondage of Stuart tyranny.
Oliver Cromwell was born on April 25th, 1599. Richard Cavendish charts his early life until his election as a member of parliament for Huntingdon in 1628.
John Morrill re-examines a stormy period of religious history.
John Adamson argues that the importance of the Celtic fringe in the events of the 1640s has been exaggerated.
Sean Kelsey reconsiders the events of January 1649 and argues the trial was skilfully appropriated by rump politicians in paving the way for the new Commonwealth.
Barry Coward grapples with a question which has become more difficult to answer as a result of recent scholarship. He finds the answer lies in the New Model Army, in religious passion and in Charles himself.
Joad Raymond on a previously unpublished insight into the personality and projection of 'Lord Oliver' during Britain's unique 1650s experience.
Richard Wilkinson argues that Cromwell had what it took to rule Britain but failed to achieve his own idealistic programme.
Ivan Roots applies the 'new British' perspective to the 1650s.
On a cold January morning in 1649 Charles I stepped out onto a scaffold in Whitehall and into history, seen by some as a tyrant, by others as a martyr. But how far was the intellectual climate of mid-17th-century England ready for the republic that followed? Sarah Barber presents the latest thinking.
Using evidence from contemporary culture, Richard Cust reassesses the Stuart monarch's political style.
The way in which the church commemoration of King Charles I's 1649 execution became a potent instrument in the political war of words after the Restoration is examined, and the history of the king's execution and the clergy's promotion of the event are discussed.
Graham Seel uncovers their pivotal and sometimes underhand role in the struggle between king and parliament.
'Tis to be feared this threatening storm will not be allayed without some showers... of blood' – Chris Durston chronicles the rumours and fears of an England on the brink of fratricidal conflict.
Anne Laurence considers how the conflict between King and Parliament altered the occupations and preoccupations of England's women.
Richard Cavendish looks at all things Stuart in the month when Charles I lost his head.
Barbara Donagan discusses the variable treatment of captives by captors between Crown and Parliament and what light it sheds on the manners and mores of the times.
The campaign to preserve the Battle of Naseby site in Northamptonshire, a pivotal moment in the English Civil War.
Richard Cavendish visits an organisation dedicated to preserving the memory of Oliver Cromwell.
Chris Durston records how the monstrous and the supernatural were seized on by political and religious factions in seventeenth century England as signs of judgment.
Civil War in England brought destruction and damage in town and country far more akin to continental warfare than has often been supposed.
Conrad Russell finds that it is easier to understand why sheer frustration may have driven Charles to fight than to understand why the English gentry might have wanted to make a revolution against him.
1982 marks the tercentenary of the death of Prince Rupert, the most brilliant of Charles I's generals. As Hugh Trevor-Roper here documents, he was single-minded in his chosen craft of war, but Rupert was never able to grasp the complexities of the contemporary situation.
John Morrill examines the historiography of the English Civil Wars.
J. H. M. Salmon looks at Romantic literary interpretations of Oliver Cromwell.
Ivan Roots on the brief reign of Richard Cromwell.
Clarendon's great 'History' was composed largely in exile and published after his death. Hugh Trevor-Roper discusses how the historian had originally intended this great work to be private political advice to the King.
The author of the History of My Own Time was both a keen churchman and a compulsive writer. Mary Delorme describes how Burnet's style, whether graphic, humorous or pompous, was usually as free and expansive as the historian himself.
C.V. Wedgwood analyses the life, death, and influence of Thomas Wentworth, first earl of Strafford.
York was in the heart of Royalist country at the beginning of the English Civil War. William Thurlow describes how it became the King's capital.

It's OK To Be Sally
In case you haven't seen the epic pie order in When Harry Met Sally, watch now for context. While I don't advise ordering complicated desserts as a great way to stick to a clean diet, I've got a point to make.
When I say "it's OK to be Sally", I mean that it's OK to be a huge, pain in the butt when you order at a restaurant. Go ahead, be all "Can you please cook my vegetables in olive oil or steamed instead of in butter, unless the butter happens to be grass-fed" and all "Do you have any BBQ sauce made with just molasses and honey, with no cane sugar or corn syrup?", and "can you grill that instead of frying it, please?". It's OK to complain when you ask for a side of vegetables instead of some other processed carbohydrate and receive a quarter cup of sad looking veggies smothered in butter/oil.
It's OK for you to ask the Butcher or Fish Peddler to cut your meat to just the right amount. It's OK to ask for grass fed beef or bison, and if they don't have it ask them to go check or maybe even order some. It's OK to ask for wild caught salmon and decide to go elsewhere if they don't have it.
It's OK to be honest with your friends and coworkers about what you eat. If someone is grilling Bubba Burgers, it's OK for you to ask them to throw on a piece of chicken or bison for you. Hell, vegetarians do it all the time with their Kween-o burgers (see this ad if you don't get the joke). It's OK to ask that your coworkers don't get you cupcakes on your birthday because you're trying to avoid sugar. It's OK to ask for the gluten free option at catered work lunches (although be advised, this isn't always healthier per se).
I know this is a fine line. It is obviously not OK to go to your friends house for dinner and look upon the white rice, rolls, or cheese platter and condescendingly inform them "I don't eat that". But I feel like we have spent too much time waiting on old fashioned economics of supply and demand to produce heather products, and the movement has been slow. 'Cause the food industry is way behind. Remember how we thought egg yolks were bad for us from like the mid 1980's until the end of the 1990's? Want to guess when McDonalds came out with an egg white option? THIS YEAR. While we appreciate your effort guys, it's not the yolk we have a problem with, and we haven't for over fifteen years. Other companies are better at picking up on trends, but not necessarily to our benefit. I mean, thanks for the gluten free wanter, peanuts, and yogurt I guess… And shout out to Dunkin Donuts for the turkey sausage and turkey bacon offerings, which are really not any healthier for you than regular bacon and taste way worse.
So my point is this: If you want a healthier, better food product, ask for it. Loudly and often. Because right now the food industry is making lots of money based on the assumption (and their efforts to keep it so) that everyone just can't get enough soda, snacks, and processed convenience dinners. That we don't care what's in the food as long as it sounds "healthy" or is low calorie/low carb/low fat, etc. If we want better food, we have to demand it. And nothing speaks louder with food industry than your wallet.
What do you think about this?
** A little context on the Flickr donut: when I searched "demanding" on flickr for a nice illustrative image, I stumbled upon a protest demanding Flickr give out free donuts. I think this makes asking for better food sound a little less ridiculous. I was also greatly amused, thus explaining the inclusion of this image.

Missing The Forest For The Trees On Fructose
No, this is not a belated April Fool's, although I am now kicking myself for not asking to blog a day early. I could have had a lot of fun with that one.
There's been a lot of hate going around in the media for high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and fructose. Some "nutritionists" may even tell you to cut back on fruit because fructose is so dangerous. But is this all true?
What We Know
We know in studies of mice, feeding them diets upwards of 40-50% of their diet from HFCS leads to development of cancer, obesity, and other side effects. We can also see a graph (right) of obesity rising significantly in the 30+ years after HFCS was introduced to the food supply in the 1970's. Meanwhile other studies are finding there are no significant negative effects attributed to HFCS.
Now, it's become a fierce debate. One camp blasting the many ways HFCS will kill you and the other defending it's honor, proclaiming that HFCS is perfectly safe.
The Truth
The line industry and the FDA has settled on is "HFCS is no more harmful to your health than sucrose (table sugar)".
The thing is, I agree with this. But that doesn't mean HFCS is OK. It means the FDA and industry are missing the forest for the trees, and hoping you will too. To say HFCS is no more harmful to your health than table sugar is like saying gin is no more harmful to your health than bourbon. Would you really argue that drinking gin is fine but bourbon is not or vice versa? Of course not. You recognize that both in moderation can be enjoyed, but in excess BOTH will produce harm (in this example, in the form of liver cirrhosis and alcoholism).
I will however, agree that HFCS can cause obesity, although not directly on it's own. After all, HFCS isn't even that "high" in fructose – only about 5% higher than sucrose. What happened was, HFCS made sugar SO CHEAP that the industry could put it in everything, even things that never had sugar before. They could manipulate sweetness to further addict you to foods, to produce larger serving sizes for basically nothing. HFCS doesn't chemically cause obesity, but it set the stage for the environment that would.
My Advice
- Don't eat a lot of HFCS. Anything it's in is usually cheaply made. Personally, I prefer the taste of barbecue sauce made with molasses and honey over HFCS, but if you treat your self to something that has it every now and then you will not give yourself cancer immediately.
- Don't fool yourself – a cookie with HFCS is just as bad for your waistline and health as a cookie made with "organic evaporated cane juice" (which is just fancy speak for sucrose).
- Keep your intake of added sugar -a ALL sugars – to a minimum. Get your carbs from complex carbs and satisfy your sweet tooth with fruit.
- Don't avoid fruit – drinking straight fructose may be a bad idea, but eating fructose in the presence of fiber and other vitamins and minerals is the way nature intended. I mean, don't eat 10 bananas in a day, but if you're stressing about eating a second piece of fruit because you're afraid it will harm your health and impact your weight loss, just stop it right now.
*There are some people for which avoiding fructose (and most other carbohydrates) at all or some parts of the day will be appropriate, including body builders on a cutting diet or women with Gestational Diabetes.

An Acquittal for Saturated Fat
Growing up I learned that fat was bad. Butter, beef, nuts, avocado – all "fattening" (seriously, we never had guacamole in my house growing up for this very reason). Lean meat lean beef lean lean lean has been drilled into us for the past thirty or so years. Even the American Heart Association – trusted resource for all things heart disease – recommends limiting saturated fat to just 5% of daily intake If you eat a 2,000 calorie diet, that leaves you with about 11 grams or less than a tablespoon of coconut oil per day. (Although as a side note I somewhat question AHA's wisdom after learning they endorsed Subway as a healthy meal option. But I digress.) Heck, I even learned it in college, and told I don't know how many patients while I was working in the hospital to "choose lean meats and avoid foods high in saturated fat". There has been questioning of this saturated fat-heart disease link recently, with a lot of it coming from the Paleo camp (Robb Wolf, etc).
Now, a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has cleared saturated fat of its charges. The review looked at 21 studies of over 347,000 people with follow up anywhere from 5-23 years. The results found no association between saturated fat intake and coronary heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. Basically, there is no evidence to conclude that saturated fat is the devil incarnate.
What Does This Mean?
My general rule about saturated fat remains unchanged (and is essentially supported) by this study. Don't be afraid of sat fat – there are a lot of food containing saturated fat that provide nutrients we need. Beef for example, is a good source of iron (which is needed to produce hemoglobin, a part of red cells that shuttles oxygen through the body. Not getting enough iron can result in anemia) and zinc (important for wound healing and immune health). But, most if not all of your saturated fat should still come from healthy, whole food sources – meat, milk, eggs, butter, etc and not from fried/processed foods or high sugar foods (like ice cream). Just as with carbohydrates, it's not about the nutrient itself, it's about where it comes from and the quality of that source.
The Bottom Line
Don't be afraid of saturated fat. Just get it from the right place.

Paleo Pro's and Cons
Sorry for the late blog post! I've seen lots of new faces in the gym over the past few months, so I am reposting my go-to article on the good and bad aspects of the paleo diet, and some recommendations for using it to improve your diet for anyone who's heard of the paleo diet during their intro sessions but still wants more information (or for anyone who wants a refresher). Also, I'm a little short on time as I'm in California for work (you feel so sorry for me, right?).
The Paleo diet – also known as the "caveman diet" – is a way of eating inspired by the diet of our Paleolithic ancestors, the men and women who lived 2.5 million years ago, before the agricultural revolution began about 10,000 years ago and provided mankind with a steady supply of grains, corn, dairy, and domestic meat. The theory behind Paleo eating is that our bodies are genetically programmed to eat certain foods, and that many modern health problems like obesity result from the introduction of grains, dairy, and other processed foods, which wreak havoc on our metabolic systems. The diet, and it's "allowed" and "restricted" foods, are based on anthropological research providing insight into what pre-agricultural humans ate.
Foods allowed on a strict Paleolithic diet include lean meats and seafood, eggs, fruits and non-starchy vegetables, nuts (except peanuts), seeds, and plant-based oils such as olive, coconut, avocado, walnut, or grapeseed. Restricted foods include processed meats (like salami), dairy, grains such as rice, pasta, wheat, and corn, starchy vegetables like potatoes, soy products, legumes like beans and peanuts, alcohol, and refined sugar. Following a Paleo diet does not require minding of portion sizes or food measurement. The recommendation is to eat Paleo approved foods when you are hungry and stop when you are full. The idea is that it's fairly hard to eat too many calories when they are coming from protein sources and high fiber, filling sides like vegetables, fruits, or healthy fats. The Paleo diet can be followed strictly or modified to meet your individual needs. For instance, some follow an "80/20" rule, eating Paleo about 80% of the time and allowing room for leniency with other foods or cheat days. Others follow a strict Paleo diet but include dairy, butter, or both.
The Research on the Paleo diet, while promising, is fairly limited. Several small studies have shown a Paleolithic diet may help improve markers of health in both healthy people and those with chronic disease. For example, one study showed that a Paleolithic diet resulted in lower mean glycated hemoglobin (a measure of blood sugar control over time) values, diastolic blood pressure, and waist circumference, and higher HDL cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol) when compared to a standard diabetes diet. Among healthy adults, a small metabolically controlled study (meaning what participants ate was strictly controlled) found improvements in blood pressure, glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and cholesterol without weight loss over a 10-day period.
In addition, while the evidence for the Paleo diet specifically, especially in athletes, is not prolific, research has shown high-protein, low-carbohydrate type diets to be effective for fat loss in a number of studies. Recently, a study appearing in Nutrition & Metabolismfound that Paleo dieters not only felt more satisfied in terms of appetite, but also had lower levels of circulating leptin, a hormone that regulates appetite, food consumption, and body fat storage.
Why Eating Paleo is Awesome…
- It eliminates the crap – eating whole foods and avoiding food products with refined sugars, preservatives, harmful additives, high levels of sodium, and added fats has numerous benefits in terms of weight management, health, and athletic performance.
- More vitamins and minerals – because you eat more fruits and veggies on a Paleo diet, you are getting much more fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than on a typical Western Diet. Vitamins can help, but 90% of the nutrients in a typical multivitamin tablet are not absorbed but are excreted (meaning you pee them out). Studies have shown that eating more fruits and vegetables reduces cancer risk, but when researchers attempted to isolate and supplement specific vitamins common in produce, the effect wasn't replicated.
- Less "bad" fat and more "good" fat – the Paleo diet typically consists of more omega-3 and unsaturated fats via increased intake of foods like almonds, walnuts, and avocados and reduction in saturated fats by eliminating high fat meats and processed foods like chips and desserts. Unsaturated fats may reduce inflammation, which is good for everyone, especially athletes.
- Health Benefits – although the research is limited, the Paleo diet has been associated with greater weight loss success, greater satiety, and improvements in markers of chronic disease. There are numerous anecdotes of people having found success eating this way.
Why it's not so awesome...
- It takes more planning – it's easy to get enough carbohydrates and calcium on a standard American diet. It's also easy to grab lunch at the office if you forgot to pack it. So while it's possible to meet all your nutritional needs on a Paleo diet while enjoying good food, it requires more planning and, often times, ahead of time meal preparation. If you're not used to packing your lunch or cooking nearly all of your meals, it will take an adjustment.
- $$$ – I don't subscribe to the belief that it is more expensive to eat a healthy diet, but following a strict Paleo diet will up your grocery bill, at least a little bit, due to increased purchasing of meat and vegetables. This increase will be greater if you switch completely to organic and grass-fed products. On the flip side, if you give up junk food and soda and eat out less, this will probably even out.
- Does it make sense? – Dr. Cordain argues that our bodies are genetically adapted to a Paleo diet, and the influence of grains and processed foods has led to our current health problems. But people started eating bread 10,000 years ago, and the epidemic of obesity and chronic disease is at best a 30 year old problem. So is bread and dairy the devil? Or is an increasingly sedentary lifestyle combined with more people eating out more often and ever growing portion sizes the real culprit?
- Carbohydrates – for most people the moderate carbohydrate levels in a Paleo diet are enough to support normal functioning and maintain glucose and glycogen stores. However, people with higher carbohydrate needs, like endurance athletes, or rowers doing multiple workouts per day, may have a hard time meeting them on a Paleo diet.The Paleo Diet for Athletes, written by Dr. Cordain and endurance coach Joe Friel, actually recommends following a Paleo diet for most of the time while supplementing other foods, such as sports drinks, around workouts to get adequate carbohydrates.
- Difficulty – A US News Report rated the Paleo diet one of the worst diets for 2011 and difficulty was a factor. For some people, eliminating 3 major food categories (grains, dairy, legumes) may just be too much to stick with over an extended period. Going on a drastic diet that you won't be able to maintain could result in frustration, stress, and ultimately giving up and just "eating whatever" for a while, which will be a weight loss and/or goal setback and just leads to more stress.
So what should you do?
As far as I'm concerned, there is no "perfect diet" for all people. That being said, I think there is merit to the principles behind the Paleo diet and at the very least I would consider it a good framework for building a healthy, maintainable diet. Ideally, you do want to eliminate processed foods (like Spam, Cheetos, fast food, etc) and focus on more "Paleo foods" like meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, and oils. However having the occasional whole grain (that's wheat bread, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, oatmeal etc), dairy product, or legume isn't going to kill you (unless you have a food allergy).
Here are some good guidelines to follow:
- Load up on lean meats, veggies, and fruits first. They contain those essential nutrients like protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
- Eat a healthy diet that works for you and doesn't drive you nuts. You want to follow a healthful nutrition plan, but you don't want to set yourself up for failure either.
- Avoid processed crap. It's that simple. If the ingredients list is longer than your entire grocery list and you find yourself trying to decide if it's healthy, just put it back on the shelf. It's probably not that great for you.
- Avoid added sugars and sodium. That includes canned stuff, "pre-made" meals, sugary beverages, junk snacks, and many breakfast cereals.
- Limit the booze. It's empty calories and makes you feel not awesome the next day, which can increase cravings for less healthy foods and limit your desire and/or ability to work out.
- Disregard all of the above and have a cheat day every now and then. It can be good for you. Check out why here.

OMG Protein Is As Deadly As Smoking!
Yes, the title is sarcasm. But these are real…
From TMZ: "High protein diets 'nearly as bad as smoking'"
From LiveScience: "High protein diets raise cancer risk as much as smoking"
From the LA Times: "High protein diets: bad in middle age, good for the elderly"
Let me start out by saying that I'm not going to tell you to eat less animal protein. But I saw this headline earlier and felt like having a rant.
I read the Washington Post iteration of this story first but couldn't find the study cited. I then searched in Google News and found 66 articles. I read 10 of them, and none cited the actual source of the article. I also searched on PubMed but lost my patience after a page or two. So I haven't actually read the original study or abstract, just the mainstream media reports.
What We Know
The study followed 6,000 people over age 50 for 18 years and found that people age 50-65 who ate a "high protein diet" (over 20% of calories from protein) were almost 4 times more likely to die of cancer during the 18 year study period than people who ate a low protein diet (less than 10% of calories from protein). The link between cancer and protein was only noted in people whose diets were high in animal protein (milk, eggs, cheese, and meat), but people whose protein was mostly from plant sources were not at high risk. On the other hand, people over 65 were less likely to die of cancer if they ate more protein. The higher protein diet in that age group was thought to be beneficial because it helped older participants maintain a healthy weight and avoid frailty.
There was a concurrent study in mice looking at IGF-1 (a growth factor) and showing that the higher protein diet promoted tumor growth by increasing the IGF-1. The researchers also measured IGF-1 in 2,000 of the study participants and found that increasing IGF-1 levels were linked to increasing risk of cancer death.
A Few Thoughts
- What kind of "animal protein" were participants eating? Was it grass-fed steak and grilled chicken? Or was it dollar value hamburgers and fried chicken?
- Was there any health bias? Comparing vegetarians to meat eaters can be tricky, because vegetarians have already made a conscious effort to do something healthy, whereas "everyone else who eats meat" may not have. A better comparison might be comparing vegetarians to people who are following a healthy diet that includes meat.
- Did they account for physical activity and other health behaviors? Often the health bias works both ways – people who make one choice in the name of health improvement tend to make others (like exercising, not smoking, etc). It's likely they did, as most studies do now, but worth asking.
It's also important to remember that this is a long term, cohort study. These types of studies are good for identifying associations, but they can't prove cause and effect.
So What's The Point?
Don't listen to mainstream news when you want nutrition information. Keep eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, healthy protein and fat, avoiding processed crap and staying active. And join me in praying for a study that FINALLY compares plant based diets to healthier diets that include animal proteins. Until then, pass the bison burger…

Eat To Compete
As the open approaches, many of us are entering competitor mode. I'm sure Neal and the other coaches will be telling us lots about mobility and recovery, so I'm just going to talk about food. How you eat can seriously impact how you perform. Read on for a few nutrition tips to help you perform your best during the Open.
Before The WODs
Before a workout, your body should have a topped off fuel tank. This means you should have enough glycogen (the body's stored form of carbohydrate) stored as well as some more readily available from food. In general, pre workout meals or snacks should be:
- Enough energy to prepare you for the workout without leaving you hungry or with undigested food in your stomach
- Low in fiber and fat
- Higher in carbohydrates
- Moderate in protein
Meals low in fat and fiber will allow your stomach to empty in time so you can avoid stomach discomfort. The carbohydrates will top off glycogen stores (which is important, since the body relies on glycogen rather than fat stores for energy during shorter CrossFit WODs), maintain blood sugar levels, and provide energy. Protein will help you avoid hunger. In addition, it is important to be hydrated before exercise. The recommendation is that athletes drink 2-3 milliliters of water per pound of body weight at least 4 hours before working out to hydrate and get rid of any excess fluid (Rodriguez et al 2009).
After The WODs
Post Workout/Recovery is the most important time, as it is the time when your body reaps the benefits of all the hard work you've done. During the workout your body burns through your stored glycogen, you lose fluid to sweating, and muscle tissue is broken down. Recovery is when you can replenish your stored glycogen, replace lost fluid, and rebuild damaged muscles.
We used to think the precise timing of recovery was very important, advising that within one hour of a workout you had to have 30-60 grams of carbohydrate and15-20 grams of protein because this was during the time your metabolism was most active. The consensus was that eating right after the workout improved muscle strength and hypertrophy. However now we know that eating within this window is less important than previously thought (Schoenfeld et al). So, as long as you eat a good, nutrient rich (read: lots of vegetables and fruits) meal with protein and carbohydrates, and maintain an adequate calorie intake throughout the day, you will continue to build strength and fitness.
What To Eat
Try to eat something that not only provides these nutrients but also provides vitamins and minerals. Research has shown that chocolate milk may be a good recovery option because the milk provides calcium and magnesium, two minerals important in muscle contractions, and potassium, which is an important electrolyte lost in sweat. Other good options include a veggie omelet with fried plantain, sweet potato, or wheat toast and grilled steak with roasted vegetables.
What's your favorite post workout meal?

The Great Label Lie – All Natural
In response to our collective interest in eating healthier, food companies have started trying to make healthier products. Well, sort of. They are trying to make products that LOOK and FEEL healthier, though they may not be. Hence the emergence of things like veggie chips and other "natural products". (As a side note, my biggest pet peeve these days is a bag of veggie chips proudly bragging "1 serving of vegetables in each portion". Um, NO because fried potato and corn with some salt is not a serving of vegetables! But I digress).
What does the natural label mean?
Nothing. Squat. The "All Natural" and "Natural" labels on food are not regulated by the FDA or any other organization. Which means unlike labels like Organic and Low Fat, a food sporting Natural claim doesn't have to meet any type of requirements. If not for worry of public backlash (or lawsuit), M&Ms and Coca Cola could use a Natural label on their soda and candy, too. The good news is, people are starting to recognize this (or at least lawyers are). Last year Naked Juice lost a class action lawsuit claiming that their use of the Natural and All Natural claims, despite the juices containing non-natural things like GMO soy.
How do you know what's really natural?
Look at the ingredients label. If it contains something that don't sound like they occur immediately in nature (like soy lecithin, GMO products, corn starch, etc), avoid it. And of course, use common sense. Something can claim it's natural, and contain all ingredients that are, but that doesn't make it natural. Just like frying some potatoes does not a vegetable serving make (although I can't make the same argument for home made kale chips).
As many of you have noticed (and lamented), sleep is a big part of the Transformation Challenge. But sleep doesn't just impact how hard it is to get out of bed or how much coffee you need to survive the day, it can also affect your food choices, sports performance, and long term health.
Sleep occurs in two parts, non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. NREM sleep makes up about 75% of sleep time and consists of four stages. Stages 1 and 2 are the beginnings of sleep, when your start breathing more irregularly and begin to disengage from your surroundings. Stages 3 and 4 are the parts of the sleep cycle where the most recovery occurs, as breathing slows, tissues are repaired, energy is restored, and important hormones are released. REM sleep makes up the other 25% of sleep time, usually happening 90 minutes after you fall asleep and recurring every 90 minutes. During REM sleep, energy is provided to the brain and body, the brain is active – this is the part of sleep where dreaming happens – while the body becomes immobile as muscles are turned off.

The answer to this question is yes, and no.
In one way or another, all forms of cooking remove nutrients from food. For example, boiling carrots and broccoli causes them to lose some of the cancer-fighting compounds like beta carotene (carrots) and glucosinolate (broccoli) which is washed away in the water.
Both boiling and poaching can also cause water soluble vitamins like vitamins B and C to be washed away with the water. On the other hand, protein becomes easier to digest and more available when meat is cooked, and heating makes vitamin A, iron, and calcium more available in spinach.
So yes, the microwave causes a food to lose some nutrients during the heating process, but no, it does not cause nutrient losses greater than normal from any other cooking method. It does not "zap" those nutrients out of the food, and nutrient losses are not any greater than they might be from boiling or frying something. In fact, some think the microwave might actually cause less nutrient losses because the cook time is shorter.
When The Microwave Is A Good Idea
In our world, it can be very difficult to eat healthy without a microwave. At least I would find it difficult to eat out or eat cold food everyday at work. So, sometimes a microwave can help us stick to our healthy habits. Microwaves are a good idea when:
- You are heating up leftovers of a fresh, healthy meal you made from whole food ingredients
- You are heating up unprocessed foods like frozen broccoli or a sweet potato
- You are heating up water for tea
When The Microwave Is A Bad Idea
Hey, sometimes microwaves make us lazy. If all of your meals come from square boxes or the frozen section of Trader Joe's, and you haven't used a stove or oven in the past month, it might be time to cut back on microwave use and spend a little more time on your food preparation.
Bottom line: as long as the microwave is a secondary method of cooking (i.e. you use it to reheat home cooked meals) or a way to cook unprocessed foods (like potatoes or frozen vegetables) then nuke away! If you use the microwave daily because your diet consists of nothing but Smart Ones or Hungry Man, it's time to consider a more unprocessed, whole foods approach and Eat Like It's 1899.

Eat Like It's 1899
In 1899, William McKinley was President of the United States, a 50 gallon barrel of maple syrup cost $.89/pound, and the bicycle frame and motor powered vacuum cleaner were patented. But was really interests me about 1899 (and the years following up through the 1940's) is how people ate. Just think about it for a minute…
- In 1899 nobody had refrigerators or microwaves. So no Lean Cuisines or Frozen Lasangas for our 19th century friends.
- People in rural areas mostly grew their own vegetables. People in cities bought vegetables from the market on a near daily basis (in fact, most of Europe still does this. That might be one reason Europe does food better than America).
- Most people ate meat from their own livestock or from livestock nearby. Many people probably still hunted their own meat (venison burger anyone?). Although people in large cities did eat meat from factories with some pretty nasty processes (go ahead and check out Upton SinClair's The Jungle if you don't believe me).

Folks it's as simple as this, we hear all the time how our food was the hit of the party, we smile and enjoy those comments. Meanwhile, the other "affordable low priced caterer" only needs you to order from them one time right? A graduation, a communion, a special occasion. We all too often hear, I made a mistake and should have never ordered from that caterer.
Congratulations are in order. Sporty's Catering has received the 2013 "Talk of the Town Customer Satisfaction Award" as the best caterer in the region!!
Our History:
Catering took off several years ago with the creation of our "Famous Sportys Chicken". (We had been catering the Italian Beef and Subs at that time). In 1993 a local church asked us to create something special for their new rededication and so it began (this after successfully running a restaurant since 1980). Our restaurant soon became a thing of the past and we concentrated 100% of our time on catering. From a 2 page catering menu to over 32 pages. Actually created by you, the consumer.
We like to term ourselves "The proud, the few, the Sportys crew". A lot of personal attention and planning goes into our food preparation. Whether its planning for a wedding or picnic 6 months from now or someone who calls and needs food in 2 hours we strive to make everyone happy. Our wait staff are the personnel who work for us, not "hired" out folks who have "no clue".

Sporty's sales tax is .0775%.......please note that other caterers have a 10% Sales Tax
Look to Sporty's to provide you with the highest quality while we are mindful of the economic times and pricing.
A note, as we hear this more and more. Folks often ask us if they "order 2 servings, do you get full servings of each entree"? With Sporty's Catering the answer is yes. With other caterers they don't want you to ask the question, they'd rather you look at the price and "think" your getting a better deal. Why risk the party of the year on "I should have ordered from Sporty's Catering".
Ask your caterer if:
Sportys Catering mission is simple, to make people happy. Oh, and don't run short on Sporty's Famous Chicken Tenders....always order more than you actually need, trust us when we say that!

May 6, 2014Two amazing classics in one well-priced and convenient release that I'm happy to recommend to series newcomers and veterans who want to revisit these gems on the go.
May 16, 2014The PS Vita port of these glorious games could have been better, but if you want to play them on the bus...
May 17, 2014Solid but also a HD collection that has no remarkable improvements. [June 2014, p83]
Jul 28, 2014A rough port of a pair of great games that makes them show their age.
May 27, 2014God of War Collection on PS Vita is without any doubt the worst version of the game, due to many technical problems that are really hard do tolerate on this hardware.
May 15, 2014Not an essential buy for Vita owners, but even with a graphic downgrade, both games are still two of the most beautiful pieces of software available on PlayStation.
Jun 5, 2014This game is a mayor deception. The God of War games were so epic on the PlayStation 2 but look really bad on the PS Vita. Therefore it's a total disaster. Poor Kratos, he deserves better.

Oct 11, 2014This game was so fun it's a must buy. I have never played the first 2 games was so happy to find out it was coming to ps vita. It plays great looks amazing 10/10… Expand
Aug 1, 2014Can't Believe it PSVita can bring GOW 1 & 2 in one Cardtridge PSVita...so Coolll. Graphics is look awesome but the cutscene / cinematics not fullscreen or not fit in to screen...too bad. Sound and music is look great, and more mini games & puzzle is can make frustation, but anyway this games is look amazing and more challenge.… Expand
May 7, 2014I picked up my new PlayStation Vita bundle yesterday that included Borderlands 2 and I also picked up God of War and I must say that I am very pleased that I can now play my two favorite God of War games on the go! Which is one of the main reasons I got my PlayStation Vita :) The only thing that I wish they would have done with this game was UP the graphics a bit. But even at that, It really doesn't bother my play-ability of the game. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the GoW series.… Expand
May 16, 2014OK, so it isn't an amazing port, the gaming sites have criticized the resolution and a lack of fluidity.. well, I re-installed this to my PS3 and there is some slight difference and no it isnt as clear as it ought to be. But who care! five mins of playing and all that counts for nowt - its GoW I&II on your Vita people - its awesome!… Expand
May 6, 2014Like the Metal Gear Solid Vita release, it transfers great to the portable system and the series has proven it can kick major ass on a portable. Sadly the portable games were not included which weakens the package. Granted they can be downloaded to Vita, but for $30 bucks, it should have at least been packaged with download codes for these PSP classics.… Expand
May 11, 2014Its portable versions of God of War 1 and 2 with better graphics for 30 bucks..hard to argue with the price tag and I think its well worth getting either way. Here are my main complaints with it:
1. The graphics in some of the cinematics are HEAVILY compressed and honestly look even worse then the PS2 which I didn't think was possible given that hey are in a smaller square box on the Vita as opposed to the whole screen. I'm not sure how they messed this up so bad honestly.
2. Minor lag in some areas after extended play time. I experienced this after about 4 hours so I don't think it would happen that much. The lag was definitely noticeable but after I defeated all the enemies it was completely gone and never experienced lag since. Not a huge deal.
3. Lack of settings options. The main thing is it would have been nice to see a subtitles option as I usually either play my vita on a loud bus or in a quiet waiting room. I haven't tried the 2nd God of War yet but the 1st one only has 3 settings options, music volume, sound effects volume, and controls which are not rebindable. You can tell they kinda half assed it with this port sadly.
Overall, you get what you paid for. Its GoW 1 and 2 with better graphics on the go. Despite the fact that this is a rather shoddy port for a great game for what it is its still worth getting in my opinion.… Expand
