He joined us! Thank you Desmond for wanting Mugabe to be "removed".
SADEC – such a lame bunch.
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

He joined us! Thank you Desmond for wanting Mugabe to be "removed".
SADEC – such a lame bunch.
Democracy, as understood by the "free" world, no longer exists in Zimbabwe. Huge swathes of the countryside have been turned into "no go" areas by the ruling party's thugs who are now known as "war veterans". This means that no news, other than Government spin doctoring, comes forth. When the ugly truth finally does come out, the world will be horrified. The truth is that there is absolutely no rule of law. The elections which were held in March 2002 were rigged by the ruling party. Currently, ZanuPF are illegitimately "ruling" the country. Human rights abuses have continued unabated. Cathy Buckle is just one of the people who have the courage and conviction to let the world know what she sees and experiences on a daily basis.
The reality is that while you read this, crimes against humanity are in progress and very little, if anything, is being done to stop this madness. State sponsored terror and anarchy continues unabated…..
You may well ask what you can do to help. If you live in a free and democratic country, all Zimbabweans would ask is that you make your concerns known to your representatives in Government and urge them to put pressure on the government of Zimbabwe.
What shall we do about Robert Mugabe?
(Later) in the thirteenth century, St Thomas Aquinas, who was perhaps the greatest of all Catholic theologians, and other philosophers developed the theological argument for limits on royal power. Aquinas worte" A king who is unfaithful to his duty forfeits his claim to obedience. It is not rebellion to depose him, for he himself is a rebel whom the nation has a right to put down. But it is better to abridge his power, that he may be unable to abuse it." Thus was theological authority put behind the idea that tyrants could be deposed. Both John of Salisbury, an English bishop who witnessed Becket's murder in the twelfth century, and Roger Bacon, a thirteenth century scholar – whom John Acton describes as the most distinguished English writers of their respective epochs – defend even the right to kill tyrants…

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- A felon who police say shot himself to death after fatally beating his pregnant wife also raped a 15-year-old girl the same day.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported a Hamilton County Sheriff's Office affidavit stated 34-year-old Terry Lee Releford duct taped the teen and held a gun on her while assaulting her.
Police said Releford beat his pregnant wife so savagely that they couldn't determine whether she might have also been shot. Tammy Hale Releford was found dead in the couple's home near Soddy-Daisy on Sunday. She was 35.
Terry Releford was found at a motel in Calhoun, Ga., and fatally shot himself as police tried to talk him out.
Releford served 15 years in prison for sexual attacks on two Bradley County women when he was 18.

Pair who followed band face drug charges in NJJuly 18,2013FREEHOLD, N.J. — Two men who authorities say followed the band Furthur are facing drug charges in New Jersey.
Police arrested 31-year-old Adam Sacks of Mount Holly, and 21-year-old Kyle Lewis of Catskill, N.Y., after searching their motel room in Tinton Falls.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office says officers found a large quantity of methamphetamine, LSD, marijuana and hashish oil. Police also confiscated more than $51,000, which prosecutors suspect were proceeds of drug sales.
The men had tickets for performances of Furthur at the PNC Arts Center in Holmdel in addition to several other shows by that group that mainly performs Grateful Dead songs.
Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni says he won't tolerate traveling drug dealers who want to follow a band.MORE IN This Just InFive New England states have agreed on a common method to compare education data from one state...

Dear Bellflower Parents and Community,
Welcome to a new school year in bobcat country! My name is Courtney Kessler and I am the 2014-2015 Bellflower PTA President.
Bellflower is filled with artists and athletes, learners and leaders. How are you going to support our students and teachers this year? Please start by joining the PTA. Any adult can join for $5 and become a voting member of a forum where parents, teachers, administrators and community members work together to enhance the academic experience of every child at our school.
The PTA has opportunities for all types of volunteer work. If you can come in during school hours, we have lunchroom helpers, popcorn poppers, book fair and the publishing center. Busy during the day? In the evening, you could help distribute Market Day orders or assist in the selection of scholarship winners. This is a very small example of the things going on all year long. PTA will also be sponsoring family events such as family book night, skating parties, Just Run, and spring family night. Bellflower also holds an event to support Project Hope, a shelter for the homeless in Lake County. All of these activities require volunteers to make them successful.
Check out the PTA tab on the Bellflower page of the Mentor Public schools website (www.mentorschools.net). There you will find information about upcoming events, fundraisers and contact information for all PTA committees.
The PTA meets once a month in the Media Center-we hope to see you there!
Courtney Kessler

The MSNBC host is getting beat up for remarks he made about the heroism of American soldiers. Really, his critics are the ones who should be apologizing.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Very few Americans wake up early on weekend mornings to watch public intellectuals chat. For the tiny number who do, Up With Chris Hayes, a show hosted by Chris Hayes of The Nation, has distinguished itself for its unusual success bringing thoughtful, intellectually honest conversation to cable news. The show's producers try to cover what they judge to be important, even when more trivial topics would result in higher ratings. During the panel portion of the show, the host and most guests actually grapple with fraught issues rather than shying away from them. Straw men, ad hominem attacks, and cheap point-scoring are exceptions* rather than the rule. Partisan hackery is discouraged. And Hayes tends to highlight rather than elide complicating facts and arguments that cut against his ideological instincts, preferring to interrogate his own views and to treat positions with which he disagrees fairly (something I'm attuned to because my politics are different enough from his that we're often at odds).
Despite all this, Hayes is suddenly under fire for weekend remarks he made about heroism, war, and politics. Our public discourse is such that anyone can find him or herself viciously denounced by complete strangers based on a single sound-byte from which everyone extrapolates wildly. This controversy is worth highlighting because Hayes' words and the reaction to them helps explain why so few broadcasters forthrightly discuss complicated, controversial subjects. Hayes subsequently issued an apology, but it's his critics who've behaved badly.
It all started Sunday. Hayes dedicated an hour to Memorial Day, focusing on the ease with which Americans live their daily lives without an awareness of the people sacrificing on their behalf. Reflecting on the history of the holiday, which began to honor the dead in the conflict that freed the slaves, Hayes noted that "the interesting and difficult thing for me, with my own kind of pacifist sympathies, was to go back and think about Memorial Day in the context in which memorialization of the war dead was also a statement about the justice and rightness of the cause." It was a characteristic effort to confront a new fact that complicated his preexisting opinions.
The show continued. Hayes talked about his interview with the mother of a soldier killed in the War on Terror, highlighted a speech that Joe Biden gave at a charity event for fallen military personnel, and interviewed an eloquent "casualty assistance officer" about his experience telling military families that their loved ones would never be coming home. Everyone watching the show to that point couldn't help but conclude that Hayes had made a conscious effort to show respect to American troops, to highlight the depth of their sacrifice, and to convey as best he could how heavy a burden is carried by the parents, spouses, and children who are left behind (even as he remembered foreign innocents who have no day to commemorate their death in war).
That brings us to the controversial segment. Hayes kicked it off with a short monologue. "It is very difficult to talk about the war dead and the fallen without invoking valor, without invoking the word hero. Why do I feel so uncomfortable about the word hero?" he said. "I feel uncomfortable with the word hero because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war. And I obviously don't want to desecrate or disrespect the memory of anyone that has fallen. Obviously there are individual circumstances in which there is tremendous heroism. You know, hail of gunfire, rescuing fellow soldiers, things like that. But it seems to me that we marshal this word in a way that's problematic, but maybe I'm wrong about that."
John McWhorter spoke next. "Hero" and words like it can wind up unconsciously employed as loaded terms, he agreed, as "argumentation strategies in themselves, often without wanting to be."
Said Michelle Goldberg, "They're also a little bit empty, because there are people who are genuine heroes but the implication is that death is what makes you a hero, as opposed to any affirmative act or any moral act."
Finally, someone offered a contrary perspective:
The argument on the other side of that is, we don't have a draft. This is voluntary. This is someone making a decision to take on a certain risk of that. And they're taking it on because they're bound to all of us through this social contract, through this democratic process of self-governance in which we decide collectively that we're going to go to war. And how we're going to go to war, and why we're going to go to war. And they also give up their own agency in a certain way that, for a liberal caricature like myself, seems very difficult to comprehend -- submitting so totally to what the electorate or people in power are going to decide about how to use your body, but they do that all of full volition. And if the word hero is not right, there's something about it that's noble, right?
The speaker of those words?
Chris Hayes.
We'll get into his comments and the retorts of his critics. Before we do, it's worth asking what we want in an opinion broadcaster. Someone with whom we never disagree? Someone whose arguments never provoke or even offend us? For a fragile sort, maybe those qualities would prove ideal. But mature adults keen on useful public discourse ought to value different things. Even if we were to say, for the sake of argument, that Hayes' monologue was wrongheaded and offensive, it would remain the case that he 1) made sure to explicitly note that he wasn't disrespecting any soldier who'd fallen -- that is to say, he tried to anticipate which people might be needlessly offended, and to assure them that he meant something different than they thought; 2) he noted that he could be wrong; 3) he invited a panel of other intelligent people to disagree; 4) and when no one did disagree, the first thing he did was try to articulate the best counterargument that he could formulate. Unless you're a delicate flower looking for a broadcaster who never articulates any idea with which you're uncomfortable, what more can you ask from someone in Hayes' position?

Nothing to not like about this hotel.
Every things was fine.
Nothing at all.
-All the staff are very nice -Free lift to town centre -Great location
Lovely hotel and great food Will stay again for sure when in Guernsey
Absolutely stunning rooms! The hotel was lovely! There was complimentary sherry, bottled water, apples and fudge! It was excelent and our room had fabulous views. The only thing lacking was the wifi did not reach our room, but we did not kind because everything else was perfect.
Wifi did not reach our room.
The room was beautiful and had a balcony overlooking the valley. Free sherry in the room and dressing gown made it feel more luxurious. Fantastic restaurants on site - great feel and food, were also very well staffed. Great that there was a swimming pool also overlooking the valley and a little sauna. Breakfast was perfect - lots of choice! Lovely hotel with a really nice feel, one of the best I've stayed in and would love to come back!
The double bed was two single beds pushed together - this didn't match the luxury of the room. Wouldn't change anything else!
The hotel is charming and welcoming, has a relaxed and comfortable feel about the place.The staff are helpful, happy and are very accommodating for your every need!
Suggestion only: maybe a bigger pool/spa area?
The junior silver suite was lovely situated at the top of the hill in the gardens. The staff were very friendly and efficient and made us feel most welcome. The courtesy car was very handy picking us up from the airport and dropped us in to town when we wanted.
the staff the food, eating breakfast on our verander
having to get a taxi to go anywere
The staff were most helpful and informative. The bedroom and the public rooms were most comfortable all were spotless and well maintained.
Trying to phone the Reception to book a table in the Restaurant is bit of a lottery. I tried twice just before leaving for the airport, with no success. I then emailed but apparently that was not received (?).
beautiful room and views down the Fermain valley. complementary car service to the airport and St Peter Port excellent hotel facilities: restaurants and gardens
The hotel n airport transfer was good restrant staff good the male receptionist n vere in reception all staff friendly the room
The upgrade not done as requested the location of the room we were in too hilly n too many steps when I had just had a lung biopsy this wasn't good as it took me at least 20 min to get to room we wanted to go swimming morning and afternoon but not able to as the hill was too steep this is why we requested a gold room
friendly, polite and extremely helpful staff food amazing Room views spectacular
room could have done with air con as it was a very warm night. Despite the balcony doors being open it was quite uncomfortable as there was no wind
The location and views. The indoor pool. The excellent food.
Our room situated over one of the restaurants. There was some noise and food smells.
Facilities, friendliness of all the staff and a stunning location. Excellent food and service throughout the hotel. No request was too small.
Our Venue room was opposite the Fermain Tavern which was noisy in the late evening into the early morning. The room was also close to a busy road. On warm nights the windows needed to be open which didn't help with the noise issue. The rooms in the main part of the hotel would have been quieter.
Really lovely hotel in fabulous setting. Great staff and excellent restaurant. Good sized rooms. Everyone very helpful and professional.
Only one thing really. Considering the hotel seemed very recently renovated, surprised at the lack of Air Conditioning.
Room was spacious and quiet with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Food and staff were excellent. Can't wait to come back again!
Beautiful hotel with excellent facilities and amazing garden area with views out to sea. The restaurant served a good breakfast and the room we stayed in was a platinum room and was beautiful.
The staff were very helpful but at breakfast it seemed to go a bit wrong and although a menu was given the food could take a while as the staff seemed to go from table to table rather than given a specific table to serve. For the Most part this was not a major issue.
Complaint logged with management.
Small room, tiny bathroom, very expensive. Dry blood on toilet seat!!
Paying to be in main hotel and getting shown where all the facilities are. then get taken to their second, right up the top of the hill, which meant to use any of the facilities, we had to leave our hotel in the wind and the rain and walk down the hill to the main hotel which meant getting soaking wet, so basically never left our room.
Service, views, location, rooms, beds, towels, free mini bar, decor of whole hotel, terrace I really loved this visit and I am very fussy
Poor quality orange juice at breakfast, no grapefruit juice, aircraft noise, noise from returning guests
All staff encountered were super friendly and helpful.
Good location on the island, plenty of vegetation, close to St Peter and the airport, staff generally friendly and helpful, room and building was cosy, indoor pool cool and therefore pleasant. Complimentary water bottles, fruit and local spirit a nice touch.
The bed looked comfy but actually wasn't -- mattress and pillows gave us back and headaches. Room was stuffy too, even with window open. Food more on par with a 3-star. Hotel layout a bit confusing/ disjointed. All in all overpriced.
The welcome from all staff and their attention to the wishes of visitors all flowing down from the friendly approach personified by Richard, the top man.
Less favourable opinion of the particular room (1st floor, front in the Venue) Road noise and reverberations from the cimema below. Will certainly come again but will be asking for a totally tranquil room.
Lovely location, charming rooms. Enjoyed a very substantial breakfast on the terrace with a wide range of breakfast items. Beautiful grounds and access to the beach and cafe.The lady on reception was most welcoming and showed us all the facilities.
Would have liked to see more vegetarian options on the menus, also free range eggs not available at breakfast which did surprise us.

Morales (No. 3, 2014) commits to Alabama
Nicole Morales of South Salem, N.Y., has given a verbal commitment to play college golf for Alabama, the defending national champion. Morales had narrowed her decision to Georgia, North Carolina, Vanderbilt and Alabama.
Morales, who is Golfweek's third-ranked player in the Class of 2014, drew a bevy of college coaches during the summer's top junior events. She delivered a tough match against World No. 1 amateur Lydia Ko in the third round of match play at the U.S. Junior before falling, 3 and 2. Morales played for the East team at the Wyndham Cup, and won the 2011 Polo Golf Junior Classic, the only match-play event on the AJGA schedule.
Morales said her decision ultimately came down to the coaching staff. She's excited to play for Alabama head coach Mic Potter.
"He reminds me of my dad, who is very soft spoken," she said. "I think I would improve my game under his guidance."
Morales also was sold on Alabama's practice facilities and the academic opportunities.
Morales is the incoming player representative to the AJGA Board of Directors, and was a first-team Rolex All-American for 2012.

Very friendly personal
The room was a little bit small
two rooms plus balcony
Restaurant was already closed due to late season (everything is closing down in winter)
Good reception staff who suggested dinner alternatives etc.
Good location for sights, fair price for room, friendly lady owner
A few restaurant staff were quite vocally condescending to non-French speaking guests. Food was too pricey and not to many options close by.
-Bi-lingual staff -Walking distance to shops, parks, restaurants -Comp Keurig coffee in room
I really liked the fact that everything is a walking distance away.
1-No coffee in the room, you have to ask the front desk everytime for the K-Cups. 2-Wifi is terrible
The reception people were very nice and helpful. The location was great.
The room was too small. We booked for 3 adults but we did not have enough spot. The washroom also was nit comfortable.
the queen balcony room has a great view and warm sunshine in the late afternoon and the hotel is within walking distance to the waterfront
unfortunately the balcony also faces a main road where you hear alot of the traffic coming off the ferry
Quaint and cute accommodations. Included breakfast and whale watching package for the best value.
The 3rd floor rooms were a bit stuffy and hot when we arrived. The corridors had A/C which made it cool but the rooms themselves were hot.
The location was good but then again, Tadoussac is so small that it's hard for a location not to be good. The room was clean. The lady that greeted us at the reception was very nice.
Very small room and very hot and noisy. The food at the restaurant was terrible. We were given tepid water to drink. And the waitress -who subsequently warmed up- greeted us with annoyance because we were standing at the door... there was a sign indicating that we had to wait to be seated...
I liked the location and the bed was comfortable.
I was not too keen with the staff. A little rude when I would speak to him in English, I also know French, and even though I would switch, I was surprised that he would cut me off when I would try to explain something instead in English and when I simply corrected him, I thought it was alright to do so, guess not. I am perfectly bilingual, but a piece of advice for this hotel or any hotel, remember that tourists come from all over the world, and so I believe anyone working for any hotel business should be perfectly bilingual, especially anywhere in Quebec and/or Canada. Thank you. Merci.
The room was nice. The next door restaurant with the breakfast buffet was excellent and a good buy.
The noise from the highway kept us awake most of the night. If we closed the sliding glass door, it was very hot in the room and they did not provide fans.
The town of Tadoussac
It helps to speak French. Our room was dormered on the third floor, no elevator. Add'l 8 bucks for buffet breakfast not worth it. Soiled carpet in hallways.
Surprises with the price Poor climatisation
The room was clean and nice and at a ok location (Tadoussac is tiny).
No AirCon! It was 40 degrees in the room. The breakfast in the annex of the hotel was overpriced for what it was. If I went back I would not pick this hotel again.
Good price-quality-ration. Near by the habour where the whale watching ships starts. Good support in getting booked a whale watching tour incl. transfer bus from thr hotel. Dinner in the restaurant was good.
The breakfast was much to expensive. Save the money and take your breakfast somewhere outside.
The beluga hotel was the best hotel we had for our whole trip in Charlevoix! The bed was extremely comfortable (felt like sleeping on a cloud) and the double bed room was infact two bed rooms separated by the bath room. That is a clever configuration! Everything was very clean and we even had a balcony. (Room 250 ;0) )Breakfast buffet was very diversified ( pancakes, fruit, real waffle, eggs, bacon, etc.)
Unfortunately, the service at the restaurant at night was not super efficient. Food excellent but waiter not good. Overall still ok.
Check-in staff were very helpful. Hotel location was within 10 min walk of everything needed.
Beds were too soft for our liking and were positioned on spindly legs. Everytime my wife or I turned over the bed would jiggle and wake the other. There was no counter in the bathroom which made washing up with own items inconvenient. Breakfast was not worth the money.
Comfortable bed Good location
Questionable value for money No air conditionning Small room
We had booked gir only 1 night then decided to stay extra night. Young fellow at reception desk accommodated once he learned a room had become available . Made our stay a welcome one.
Staff was excellent and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable.
Pillows, fan had timer? Had to get up each couple hours to turn on.
Great staff, great location. Hotel was very clean and well maintained.
It wasn't a problem on out trip because it was fairly cool during our trip but there was no air conditioning in the room.
Good motel and good value for money
No complaints
Location ...close to everything in town ...staff were friendly
Clean and comfortable; good location
No air conditioning, fan provided not really adequate even for early June. Way too many stairs for seniors to cope with.

I haven't seen this much excitement in a kitchen since the day my family got its first microwave oven, in 1982. Back then, we huddled around the magical device as it nuked a marshmallow, puffing it up to something roughly the size of a softball. (In the owner's manual—a hardbound book, by the way—the manufacturer suggested making s'mores. They were clearly aware of the entertainment benefit of this demonstration.) We marveled at the new innovation and promptly began warming up practically everything in the fridge.
When I brought home a sample SodaStream home-carbonation rig last week, it had a similar impact. My young daughters marveled at the fact that you can mix up your own fizzy drinks right there in their own kitchen, and they begged me to fire it up and start tending bar for them. I complied. After inserting the C02 "carbonator" canister into the back of the $179 unit (their "Crystal" model), I skimmed the instructions. They were refreshingly simple: fill the glass carafe with water, insert it into the machine, lock it down, and hit the button. I did as instructed, and listened for the noise that signals carbonation—a somewhat flatulent array of buzzes and brrr's. When I pulled out the carafe five seconds later, the water bubbled furiously. Seltzer was born! A few ounces of syrupy concentrate later, and the girls were gleefully drinking raspberry sodas.
Meanwhile, I put a second carafe into the device to try out SodaStream's generic equivalent of diet soda. This, truly, was what I was after. See, by my estimate, I'm personally responsible for the production of at least 25,000 empty soda cans and plastic bottles over the last 20 years, whether they were dumped in landfills or sent off to be recycled. Not only is home-soda-brewing far cheaper than buying beverages in the store, but doing so can produce considerably less waste than the equivalent purchase of single-serve beverages. A bottle of SodaStream's concentrate can produce the equivalent of 33 cans of soda. (They have an impressive array of drink options, including root-beer, fruit drinks, flavored waters, energy drinks, and teas.)
But the question is whether a home-brew soda can pack nearly the same acidy, carbonated, sickly-sweet punch—which I've come to know and love—as something bottled by the pros. My taste taste quickly produced an answer: Close enough for me! Urp!
Indeed, SodaStream's flavors, when mixed in with the spritzed-up water, taste remarkably professional-grade. We dabbled in root beer, fruity drinks, the flavored waters, and they all tasted just great. While I don't think hard-core soda-drinkers will wean themselves completely off the canned stuff if they buy one of these—there's something of a hassle factor here—the solution is good enough to provide a few hits every now and then, and great for impromptu gatherings when flavored sparkly drinks are in demand.
This, in fact, is probably where the true potential of these machines lies—not the day-to-day users (regular seltzer-drinkers notwithstanding, since the machine produces a fairly straightforward facsimile), but those looking for ways to develop alternatives to sugary drinks. After all, many drinkers aren't into the Splenda/aspartame artificial-sweetener thing, and others don't want the full sugar slams found everywhere else. And there are few drinks that land anywhere in the middle—with, say, half or even a third of the sugar of the high-test sodas and fruit drinks. Weird. But here, quite possibly, is your solution.
It should be noted, too, that you're not obligated to keep buying the concentrates from SodaStream. (That, as you might expect, generates the company's true cash stream.) You can use any variety of drink concentrates available in grocery stores to whip up fizzy refreshments—and of course you have the whole world of seltzer-based cocktails to play with for after-hours fun. This isn't really true, however, for the Coke/Diet Coke equivalents. So if that's your goal, you might indeed be somewhat tied to the company's concentrates. I guess that's no worse than being beholden to Coke or Pepsi, is it?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

WOW: Quality Time
Posted By Mark Sisson On December 20, 2010 @ 8:39 am In Workout of the Week (WOW) | 4 Comments
Complete 4 cycles of:
100 Meter Leapfrog
100 Meter Foot Race
Tug-of-War (losers do ten burpees)
Warmup: 30 second Grok Squat [7].
Primal Blueprint Fitness isn't boot camp. It's not SEAL training, where the intent is to break you down, physically and psychologically, to see how you can handle it. PBF is effective but supportive, and the WOWs are for the people, the kids, the athletes, and the puppy dogs. Put it like this: as long as she's not in a walker with a pocket full of Fosamax, I expect Grandma to be able to scale most WOWs into something approaching a decent workout, and I expect a strong experienced athlete to be able to scale them up to make a worthwhile one, too.
So, today, with the holidays within arm's reach and the family members gathering like buzzards around a wounded, stranded gazelle, the Workout of the Week is about spending quality time with relatives engaged in the healthy, fulfilling, communal pursuit of physical improvement and play [8]. If previous attempts to rally reluctant relatives to the exercise front have failed, now's a great time; most people, having gorged on holiday treats throughout the week, will be down to workout. You know, to burn those calories (even as you mention something about improved insulin sensitivity).
Another thing about the holidays is that they're so chaotic. There are parties to attend, family to pick up from the airport, flights to catch, dinners to plan, overcrowded malls to visit, and presents to wrap – on top of your regularly scheduled lives. What's supposed to be an enjoyable, stress-free week or two becomes a mad dash to and fro. Today's WOW avoids all that, with activities that are decidedly anti-stress (except for the microstressors applied to your musculature) in a period known for massive stress headaches.
You all remember leapfrog, don't you? You'll need a partner for this. Have him or her kneel or squat down in front of you. Using your hands against their back for guidance or balance as needed, you jump over your partner and land in the kneel or squatting position in front of him or her, at which point your partner does the same over you. Repeat for 100 meters. Keep the jumps smooth and flowing. If you have an odd number of people in your group, this exercise can be done with three people in the leapfrog chain; just go another 50 meters.
Then, race back to the starting position in an all-out sprint, giving everyone a half minute to a minute of rest. Parties of three worried about those extra 50 meters? Tough – you got extra rest periods during leapfrog.
After the race, assemble everyone into two tug-of-war teams by total strength. It might be the two young studs of the family against the rest of the brood; as long as each side is roughly equal in strength, pay no mind to the numbers. Traditionally, the losers were pulled into a pit of mud and/or water, but I don't expect you to go that far (although you get bonus points for doing it!). Just establish clear boundaries that, once breached, mark the breachers as losers. Losers do ten burpees, perhaps in time to the disparaging remarks of the winners. Obviously, you'll need a strong rope.
A few things to remember:
For Grandma and anyone else who can't do the leapfrog or sprint, a solo "leapfrog" type jump where you kinda hop along the ground works just as well and is more manageable for the less experienced among us. If that's too much, just walking or jogging the distance is totally fine. This isn't about forging senior citizens into elite rippling athletes. I just want people to move when, where, and how they can. Everyone, however, must participate in the tug-of-war, even if it's simply as an agitator to the opposing side.

In yet another shift in political demographics, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is likely to give Delhi fresh faces in a fairly young cabinet.
While outgoing Congress ministers have an average age of 63, AAP candidates tipped to be ministers will be, on an average, 35-years-old. In the past, Congress' Arvinder Singh was the youngest minister to join the cabinet in 2003 at the age of 35.
Apart from 41-year-old Manish Sisodia, who is considered to be the closest aide of AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, all cabinet front-runners are relatively unknown faces.
"The popularity of ministers is not important. We want a healthy relationship between the party and the government. The idea is to put in place a mechanism that can efficiently implement our manifesto," said AAP's chief strategist, Yogendra Yadav.
Yadav said the road ahead will be challenging since most candidates are first-time ministers. "Since we are running a radical agenda, we want to ensure that we bring in people who share our political spirit and understand government procedures," he said.
New analysis: AAP govt's life term will depend on Cong's patience, but it may have the upper hand
Read more: AAP govt may not last long, says Prashant Bhushan
HT column: Yes, he can; how Kejriwal became people's champion
One such candidate is 26-year-old Rakhi Birlaan who has no political experience. With a masters degree in journalism, she used to work as a TV journalist before she joined the anti-corruption bandwagon. A few months later, she won the assembly elections from Mangolpuri after defeating Congress' Raj Kumar Chauhan by a margin of 10,585 votes.
"It's a generational shift if you compare us with the average BJP and Congress leader. Young profile benefitted me and the party as a whole," Birlaan recently told HT.
Saurabh Bhardwaj (34), an engineer who hold a degree in law, defeated BJP's Ajay Kumar Malhotra by more than 13,000 votes in Greater Kailash. Bhardwaj, who works with a private engineering firm and enjoys social connect, may be another new face among Delhi ministers.

Read more: The giant killer - Kejriwal stuns political rivals
"Angry people voted against price rise and corruption. People were not satisfied with Waliaji because he never listened to their grievances," said 40-year-old AAP member Vinod Kumar Binny. He defeated Congress minister AK Walia from Laxmi Nagar and has also been elected as an independent councillor twice.
Another start achiever is 39-year-old Somnath Bharti. He holds a degree in law and a masters degree in science from IIT-Delhi. The former president of IIT-Delhi's alumni association defeated two political heavyweights in Malviya Nagar — BJP's Arti Mehra and Kiran Walia of Congress.
A divorce, a jail term, determined foes: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar fighting a lone battle?
The divorce between Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party and Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal(U) and a few days of change in residence for Rashtriya Janata Dal's Lalu Prasad – from 10, Circular Road in Patna to the Ranchi jail in Jharkhand – have totally changed the game that is played in Bihar.
Angry with the SP, convinced that the Congress is a losing proposition, unsure of AAP's ability to win, and fearful that Mayawati may ally with the BJP in the future, Muslims have a difficult choice.

Merry, Merry, Quite Contrary, Says ABC
About a million more people know Merry Miller this Tuesday morning, than knew her last Tuesday. Miller is the producer/booker whose live interview on ABCNewsNow with actress Holly Hunter last week, has been viewed more than a million times on sites including YouTube.
Miller is said to be "a little concerned about her reputation" following the segment. TVNewser got the back story on what happened:
According to Jessica Stedman-Guff, Executive Producer of ABCNewsNow, Miller was asked to "come in and train." She read through the teleprompter, took some tapes home, then the Holly Hunter interview came along. Stedman-Guff says it "was painful" from the beginning. "The IFB malfunctioned" but since it was live, Miller "kept going, gamely." (ABC reshot the ending of the interview where Miller gave out the wrong date for the premiere of Hunter's show, and said NBC News, instead of ABC News.)
Named one of Crain's 40 under 40 for 2007, Merry Miller worked as the late Joel Siegel's booker. Stedman-Guff says one of Siegel's wishes was for ABC to give Miller a shot, on air. Miller does not work for the network, she's "never taken a dime from ABC News," but Siegel "felt she'd be good on camera."
Will she be on air again? Stedman-Guff, who has only been on the job for a month, says, perhaps, if it's done on tape, but not live. "I was brought on to make a name for our little, fledgling, broadband cable network." "It's a little sad that we've gotten so much publicity (for something) that is not our best work."

He began in the business at 15 and made hometown McGlynn Bakeries a nationally known company.

Life was one sweet ride for Burt McGlynn, whose family business was revered in the Twin Cities and beyond for its cakes, croissants and other fresh-baked treats.
McGlynn got into the business when he was 15, cleaning floors at the bakery his father opened in 1919 in downtown Minneapolis. During a five-decade career, he turned McGlynn Bakeries into one of the nation's most innovative baking companies.
"He was always open to new ideas," said his son, Dan McGlynn, retired CEO of McGlynn Bakeries. "He took risks."
McGlynn, who had emphysema and kidney failure, died Dec. 23 at his winter home in Captiva, Fla. He was 88.
From the start, McGlynn had a knack for spotting trends and embraced the inventive spirit passed on by his father.
In 1954, he drove to Minneapolis-area neighborhoods in a tricked-out Ford bus his dad called, "Trav'l Bake," where he sold fresh loaves of bread, hot glazed donuts (for 10 cents apiece) and other baked goods. Although the young McGlynn was said to have been a reluctant driver, it was an innovative marketing model that drew the attention of the Wall Street Journal.
McGlynn took over the business in 1956, but sold it two years later and went to work as a retail buyer for the new owners.
He bought back the McGlynn Bakeries name in 1962 and relaunched the business inside two Target stores, which then was an upstart discount chain.
The McGlynn's Bakery name became known across the country through affiliations with Supervalu and Applebaum grocery stores as well as Target.
In 1966, on his wife's suggestion, McGlynn hung a sign at a Target store: "Watch us decorate cakes." Sales took off. McGlynn's soon became known for its cake decorating, planting seeds for a cake decorating business, DecoPac Inc. Launched in 1982, DecoPac today is the world's largest seller of professional cake decorations, with annual sales of $125 million.
As with DecoPac, McGlynn created several successful spinoffs. In the 1980s, Mc-Glynn Bakeries became a major wholesaler, getting a jump selling frozen croissants to Perkins Family Restaurants. By late 1985, McGlynn Bakeries was producing 2 million croissants a week for national distribution in restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets. It was a labor-intensive process in which each 972-pound batch required 127 hand-folded layers of butter and dough. Pillsbury bought the frozen business in 1992 for about $135 million.
McGlynn launched another frozen business in 1995, specializing in artisan breads. With $34 million in sales, the family sold that business for an undisclosed price to Ralcorp Holdings in 2004.
The last of the retail bakeries closed in 2001, and today the McGlynn's Bakery name exists only as nostalgia.
McGlynn remained active in family business matters, and served as board chairman at DecoPac until his death. He spent summers at his home in Greenwood on Lake Minnetonka, and stayed active late in life, playing golf and tennis and swimming.
"He had that 'work hard, play hard' mentality," Dan McGlynn said.
He is survived by his wife, Rosalyn, five children -- all of whom worked at the family business at some point -- and 16 grandchildren. His other children are Michael, of Wayzata, who is CEO of DecoPac; Tim, of Cross Lake, Minn.; Molly McGlynn Varley, of St. Paul, and Thomas, of Orono. Services will be held Thursday in the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis.

VitrA, Sherwin-Williams
Affordable / Merit
Dan Rockhill's portfolio contains historic restoration projects, public art pieces, high-design custom homes, and not much affordable housing. So he approached this 55-unit senior housing project with an open mind, going as far as to seek inspiration in a nearby mobile home community. The trailer park model wears a stigma that isn't entirely unwarranted, he observes, "but you can learn from it and build on it."
Rockhill's site plan, which orients units toward pedestrian "alleys" rather than parking lots, reflects the value residents place on connection with the outdoors and with their neighbors. The units employ simple forms and materials elegantly and sustainably. Recyclable metal roofing tops ICF walls; south-facing storefront glazing and concrete floors contribute passive solar heating and daylighting. And each unit opens onto a small private yard.
No matter how modest their circumstances, Rockhill notes, "Everybody wants a little something they can call their own."
