Repêchage Hosts 17th Annual International Conference for Salon & Spa Professionals
Over 135 people from all over the world attended The Repêchage 17th Annual International Conference in NYC on May 18, 2015.
Repêchage CEO and Founder Lydia Sarfati welcomed over 135 skincare and spa professionals from across the country as well as from Korea, Trinidad, the Dominican Republic, Romania, the United Kingdom, Italy and Curacao. Guests gathered at this year's NYC Conference to hear both science and medical experts speak, as well as to be part of the launch of the new Repêchage Hydra 4 Red‐OutTM Facial and at‐home products, the Repêchage Mineral Face Shield, and annual Repêchage President's Awards.
To kick off the event, Charles Yarish, Ph.D., professor at the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Connecticut, took the podium to present "The Science of Seaweed." Yarish was recently appointed to the Repêchage Board of Directors for 2015, and heads one of the leading seaweed science laboratories in the world dedicated to seaweed research and aquaculture. Dr. Yarish shared with guests the many different facets of seaweed – from cultivation to its use, food, fertilizers and most relevant to Conference guests: cosmetics. Dr. Yarish specifically delineated the anti‐wrinkling, anti‐aging and skin regeneration characteristics of specific seaweeds, including Laminaria Digitata and Ascophyllum Nodosum, the two seaweeds predominantly used in Repêchage Professional Skin Care.
Next to take the podium was Karl Richter, partner of Bio‐Gate AG, Germany, for his presentation "Micro Silver: A Newly Patented Ingredient for Dermatological Skin Care." Richter presented information on Micro Silver, a new found ingredient that Repêchage will be utilizing in the new Repêchage Red‐Out Facial and at‐home products. Specifically, Richter spoke on the science behind Micro Silver and its benefits in skincare and cosmetics, including its antimicrobial action and ability to fight harmful bacteria that can cause inflammation, skin irritations and blemishes. Repêchage will be the first professional skin care company in the United States to utilize this new ingredient in Repêchage Hydra 4 Red‐Out Facial with Micro Silver and Anti‐Oxidants and at‐home products for hypersensitive skin and rosacea.
Before the official introduction of Repêchage Red‐Out, Dr. Samuel Shatkin, a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery and owner of the Aesthetic Associate Centre for Plastic Surgery and Advanced Medical Skin Care in Buffalo, took the stage. In his presentation, "Rosacea – Causes and Solutions," Dr. Shatkin discussed the medical findings of what causes this skin condition and solutions for those who suffer from rosacea – a skin condition seen in 16 million people in the US and 45 million people worldwide, according to the Rosacea Society. Dr. Shatkin also reported on his recent clinical study of rosacea patients in his Buffalo, NY practice, revealing dramatic reduction of rosacea symptoms in before and after photographs.
Immediately following was the official premiere of Repêchage Hydra 4 Red‐Out for event attendees, along with the debut of Repêchage Mineral Face Shield. Repêchage CEO & Founder Lydia Sarfati shared with guests the research behind Repêchage Hydra 4 Red‐Out Facial and Repêchage Hydra 4 Red‐Out Calming Cleanser and Red‐Out Serum (patent pending). As Sarfati stated, "This new facial, as well as the two patent‐pending at‐home products, offer real and immediate help to people with all types of skin who suffer from Rosacea and hypersensitivity. In recent trials, 99% of patients saw visible difference in their skin after one Hydra 4 Red‐OutTM Facial, while 89% saw smoother skin after using the Hydra 4 Red‐OutTM Serum for 28 days."
Sarfati also introduced the much‐anticipated new Repêchage Mineral Face Shield to the enthusiastic audience. This new cream, explained Sarfati, has a luxurious, soufflé‐like texture, providing important anti‐oxidant protection through‐out the day while imparting a flawless, air‐brushed finish.
After a brief break, Dr. Patrick Fratellone took the stage for "The Heart & the Whole Body Connection." Fratellone presented to guests his insights as a well‐known cardiologist and internist who practices integrative medicine. Dr. Fratellone explained the benefits of a well‐balanced life that included exercise, mediation and good self‐esteem while eliminating unhealthy food choices.
For the last portion of the event, Lydia Sarfati presented the President's Awards, given in various categories to an establishment or person that demonstrates esthetic excellence as well as dedication to the elevation of the industry.
Dr. Samuel Shatkin and Joni Shatkin of Trés Auraé Spa in Buffalo, NY were awarded the Trendsetter of the Year award.
The following day, on May 19, 2015, attendees gathered at the Repêchage Headquarters in Secaucus, NJ for a Hands‐On Workshop. Under the instruction of Repêchage Global Education Leader, Lauren Streeter and Corporate Educator, Natalie Otto, guests spent a full day learning further about rosacea and hypersensitive skin treatment with the new Repêchage Hydra 4® Red‐Out Facial and at‐home products.

Alice Waters to Receive ISPA's Humanitarian Award
Alice Waters will receive the 2015 ISPA Alex Szekely Humanitarian Award at the 2015 ISPA Conference & Expo from October 19-21, 2015 in Las Vegas, NV
The International SPA Association (ISPA) will present Alice Waters with the 2015 ISPA Alex Szekely Humanitarian Award at the 25th annual ISPA Conference & Expo at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV from October 19-21, 2015.
Waters is a chef, author, food activist and owner of Chez Panisse. Waters has been a champion of local, sustainable agriculture for more than four decades.
"ISPA is thrilled to recognize Alice for her many years of hard work in advocating for locally grown fare," said ISPA President Lynne McNees. "Alice's passion for feeding the world is so inspiring and her work impacts so many of us."
Waters was chosen based on her extensive work as founder of The Edible Schoolyard Project, an innovative model for public education that integrates the growing and cooking of food into the core academic curriculum. The centerpiece of the mission is to promote a free, nutritious and sustainable school lunch for all students, K – 12, and to bring children into a new relationship to food.
Waters' vision for edible education began 20 years ago with The Edible Schoolyard at Berkeley's Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School, which today draws visitors from around the world. The online Edible Schoolyard Network gathers and shares lessons and best practices from school gardens, kitchens, and edible education programs worldwide. To date, there are more than 4,000 Edible Schoolyard Network member programs in 54 countries.
"I am so honored to be receiving this award for the 25th anniversary of ISPA," said Waters. "I am looking forward to speaking at this important gathering."
The award is named in honor of the late spa pioneer, Alex Szekely. It is designed to recognize an individual who acts as a respected contributor to overall well-being, encouraging the renewal of mind, body and spirit - all of which are characteristics embodied by ISPA members worldwide.
The award will be presented to Waters by Szekely's mother, Deborah Szekely. Following will be a keynote presentation from Wednesday's keynote speaker.
"Alice Waters has climbed to the summit of worldwide culinary fame since starting Chez Panisse in a little house on Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley," said Szekely. "Along the way she's done more than any single person to change the world of healthy, sustainable, immensely enjoyable dining as well as cooking at home. She also inspires many thousands of children each year through her Edible Schoolyard project to honor fresh and seasonal, locally sourced, honest simple food and all that it means to lifelong health. I am so proud to be able to call her my friend."
Past Humanitarian Award recipients include Jewel, Blake Mycoskie, Lisa Ling and Dr. Maya Angelou. More information about attending the 2015 ISPA Conference & Expo can be found at attendISPA.com.

China Glaze joined Wish Upon a Teen to brighten the day for teens battling cancer.
It just takes a smile, like the one in the photo above, to make one realize the impact a day of beauty can have. On April 27th at the Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic in Beverly Hills, twelve girls were treated to a day of pampering organized by Wish Upon a Teen, a non-profit dedicated to helping teens fighting cancer. During the fourth annual Spa Day, the teenagers, who are oncology patients of the Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA, received luxurious mini spa treatments with manicures by China Glaze, facials by the Sonya Dakar team and makeup application by Stila.
China Glaze celebrity manicurists Stephanie Stone and Brittni Rae from Nailing Hollywood created custom nail art looks using summer's brightest hues. The teens selected their favorite polishes from China Glaze's 2015 spring and summer collections, as well as an assortment of China Glaze's best selling shades to create a look all their own. Each design was topped off with Fast Forward dry fast top coat for long-lasting shine and durability.
In addition to enjoying a day of pampering, the teens also spent time with celebrities Austin Stowell (Whiplash), Haley Pullos (General Hospital), Halston Sage (Crisis) and singer/songwriter Cailee Rae.

Unique Spa Services: Migraine Relief
Spas are adding headache and migraine treatments to their spa service menus.
It's hard to relax when you are suffering from a migraine which is why some spas are adding headache and migraine treatment options to their menu of spa services.
Migraines, which have a wide-range of symptoms, affect around 50 million people in the US each year. They can be caused from a variety of triggers including stress, hormones, food allergies, environmental agitation or even a combination. Massage Therapist Kelly Lott developed Migraine Miracle which incorporates marble stones and aromatherapy to offer relief for this painful condition.
At Peaceful Massage in Harrison, Arkansas, Migraine Miracle is used for a headache treatment that begins with attention to pressure points. Next, the client can choose from four Migraine Miracle aromatherapy blends that address different headache root causes. Peaceful Massage owner Marcie Black explains, "I use the cold stones at about 32 degrees and put them on strategic areas of the face."

Spa News: NovaLash Invites You to Takes a Bite Out of Lyme
NovaLash Founder Helps Bring Awareness to Lyme Disease with 2015 Lyme Disease Challenge
For years, Sophy Merszei, Molecular Biologist, Cosmetic Chemist and founder of NovaLash, has been suffering from Lyme Disease and its attendant disorders. Now she is putting the pain aside, and spreading awareness about a little understood disease that affects millions by sharing her story and taking part in the 2015 Lyme Disease Challenge.
"You may know me as the person who introduced eyelash extensions to the world, but you might not know that I have been battling Lyme Disease, Chronic Erlichiosis and Babesiosis for 30 years," says Merszei. "I didn't get tested early, as a child, because even the best doctors didn't have the right information back then. Still today, most doctors, including my husband, are being taught outdated information on Lyme Disease.
"Yolanda Foster from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has been such an inspiration to me by sharing sick photos of herself alongside photos of herself when she is feeling healthy. She has inspired me to come out of my little 'Lyme Closet' and share photos of myself that I was previously embarrassed and ashamed of. If I can help one child get diagnosed early, it's well worth sharing my ugly picture," adds Merszei.
May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month and Merszei and NovaLash encourage their Lashionistas to take and share a "Sourpuss Selfie" — suck on a slice of lime, make a face, snap a photo or video, and post to social media platforms (#LymeDiseaseChallenge, #NovaLashtakesabiteoutofLyme) along with a fact about Lyme Disease. Then, go tag and challenge a friend. NovaLash will in turn make a charitable donation and send a free pot of lashes to Certified Stylists with their next order.
"This diseases is caused by insect bites, everyone is susceptible and 300,000 new cases of Lyme Disease are reported in the US each year, alone, according to the Center for Disease Control," says Merszei. "It is treatable if caught early but if left undetected, it is debilitating and extremely painful."

AKWASASNE - After several weeks of frustration by mother nature Mohawk International Raceway was finally given clear skies and warm temperatures making a perfect race night for the first time in 2014.
In the 24th running of the Memorial Cup, which was part of the Frenchie's "Chevy Runs Deep" 358 Modified Series, Billy Dunn and Jordan McCreadie led the field to the green and Dunn charged into the top spot. The two-time and defending track champion was on a mission on this night as he built up nearly a full straight away lead with McCreadie, Tom Conklin, Joel Doiron and Danny O'Brien completing the top five. By lap 6, Dunn had made his way into lapped traffic and was looking for another dominant win. However on lap 6 Dunn would come to a stop on the back stretch bringing out the yellow. This left Jordan McCreadie with the lead on the next restart as he took the top spot away over Conklin, Doiron, O'Brien and Brian McDonald. McCreadie had a fast car and he began to build up almost a full straight away lead as Danny O'Brien made his way to second by lap 14 with Conklin, Doiron and McDonald rounding out the top five. On lap 16 the yellow flew for Jason Fetterly as he slapped the turn 4 wall. On the restart O'Brien used the outside of the speedway to take over the top spot from McCreadie as Conklin continued to run in third. O'Brien was clearly the class of the field as he used the bottom side of the speedway to build up a huge lead on the rest of the field as behind him Jordan McCreadie and Brian McDonald were having a great battle for second, a battle they would continue to have until the yellow flew for the final time on lap 40. On the final restart, O'Brien jumped out to another big lead and would hold it the rest of the way for his first ever Memorial Cup victory. McCreadie would hold McDonald at bay for second with Tom Conklin fourth and Chris Raabe was able to slip by Joel Doiron to round out the top five.
In Sportsman action, defending track champion Corey Wheeler set the pace early on as he took the lead from the pole at the start of the 25-lap event with Dylan Evoy, Mike Maresca, Brent Kelsey and Louie Jackson Jr. completing the top five in the early going. Wheeler was up to the task and was fast in the opening laps as behind him Maresca was able to get by Evoy for 2nd as the leaders began to enter lapped traffic by lap 10. Wheeler had a stout car but Dylan Evoy was on a mission as he got back around Maresca to pick up second and after a nice move in traffic Evoy was the new race leader over Wheeler, Maresca, Kelsey and Robert Delormier. On lap 14, the first yellow flag came out as Jasmine David spun in turn 2. On the restart Evoy continued to lead but Mike Maresca had problems with his race car as a shower of sparks came from the right rear but was still able to run in the top three. On lap 19, Wyatt Mullin would slow on the backstretch bringing out the yellow. Maresca was able to duck into the pits but would end his fantastic run for a top five finish. On the restart Evoy proved he means business in 2014 as he held on to the top spot and would pull away in the final seven laps to score the big opening night win with Wheeler coming home second. Robert Delormier, Brent Kelsey and Ryan Stabler rounded out the top five.
The Bandit class had a double header on this opening night and the first feature went right down to the wire. Randy Whiting had a fast car at the end of 2013 and was fast on this night as he held the top spot during the final half of the 10-lap feature. Corey Castell was on his tail as the two drivers raced hard on the final lap. coming into turn 3 Castell was able to get the run he was looking for as the top two charged off turn 4 and Castell was able to steal the win away with Whiting taking second, early race leader Darryl Mitchell was third followed by Nolan Swamp and Tim Tupia.
In the night cap for the Bandits it started off with a red flag for Nolan Swamp who took a hard tumble down the back straight away. Swamp climbed from his car uninjured and walked back to the pits under his own power. Randy Whiting was involved in a close finish again in this event as both he and Matt Zira were involved in a close battle for the top spot through the entire 10-lap distance. Whiting made several attempts to take the lead away but Matt Zira stayed steady and strong to claim his first win at Mohawk in the Bandit class. Whiting settled for second again with Corey Castell, Darryl Mitchell and Tim Tupia rounding out the top five.
The Mod Lite class also had double features on this night and the first 12-lap affair saw a battle between 2011 track champion Mathieu Robinson and Harley Brown, who was in search of his first career Mod Lite victory. Brown was able to draw along side of Robinson several times but was unable to complete the pass as Robinson grabbed the win in the first race by two-car lengths over Brown, Scott Waldrif, Dan Desnoyers and Jesse Hudson.
In the final Mod Lite feature Scott Waldrif was looking to grab another win on opening day as he won the opener a year ago in Mod Lite. Waldrif took the lead from early pace setter Dan Reif and begin to pull away. Dan Desnoyers who ran in Pro Stock last season was on the charge as he reeled in Waldrif and would have a great battle for the lead in the closing laps. Waldrif was not to be denied as the new proud father of a baby boy took his car to victory lane for the first time in 2014. Desnoyers settled for second with Robinson, Dan Reif and Jesse Hudson completing the top five.
This Friday night, the 358 Modifieds will have the night off but the Empire Super Sprints will be set to make their only appearance of 2014 along with a full show for Sportsman, Mod Lite and Bandit. Racing begins at 7:30 pm.

High Def, High Tech
By: Sara Mason
Posted: April 6, 2010, from the April 2010 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 4 of 8The company touts borosilicate pigments as representative of a new variety of well-known pearlescent pigments. The artificial substrates are coated with high-refractive metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide or iron oxide, enabling optimum interference effects in combination with outstanding transparency. Its characteristics provide for new dimensions in eye-catching effects.
EMD's Xirona Moonlight Sparks is another unique product that combines a sparkle effect with color that travels from metallic gold to subtle silver. A little goes a long way to make a high impact. Color-change and interactive pigments will increasingly have a role in the beauty market, according to LPK's Morris. Such "gonichromatic" pigments can produce different colors depending on the incidence of light and the angle of observation, enabling manufacturers to create 3-D optical effects on the skin.
The special coating technology on the calcium aluminum borosilicate substrate provides a very clear and sparkling impression, and its high transparency helps it highlight cosmetic formulas without changing their base color. To top it off, Moonlight Sparks provides superior skin adhesion, according to the company. Cosmetic formulations with long-lasting claims will particularly benefit from the enduring silvery and golden sparkling effects.
EMD's Timiron Ice Crystal is another such high-intensity pigment that delivers a sophisticated radiance—the "wow factor," if you will—to any product formula, even in opaque applications, without compromising color or quality. Its larger particle size is engineered to provide feel characteristics that are not anticipated by its visual appearance. "It doesn't give you that gritty feel you might expect," said Vaiarelli. It combines with other pigments to achieve a wide range of colorful, vibrant effects. "We're looking to combine Timiron with other pigments so you can really see this shine," added Linz. Timiron Ice Crystal is based on synthetic fluorphlogopite which is coated with titanium dioxide.
"Fluorphlogopite will serve as a new generation of interference pigments," said Linz. "I can't speak to how, but it would make sense to make interference colors with this with new coating techniques."

Remains confirmed as missing Vermont man, friend
KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine The Maine medical examiners office says human remains found on an island off Kennebunkport were two boatbuilding school students who went missing in December.
Spokesman Mark Belserene said Tuesday that DNA tests confirmed the remains were 21-year-old Zachary Wells, of Burlington, Vt., and 23-year-old Prescott Wright, of Barnstable, Mass.
Wells and Wright were last seen at a late-night party at Wells home in Kennebunkport on Dec. 20. The men were students at The Landing School in Arundel.
In the ensuing search, officials found clothing belonging to the two men but didnt locate their bodies.
A local resident walking a dog discovered the remains last month on Vaughns Island, which can be reached from the mainland at low tide.MORE IN This Just In

Do you have what it takes?
Here's the RRT on Monday finding some rhythm in the Quad…
Do you have what it takes to Race?
Have you ever seen an eight racing at top speed? Are you interested in experiencing that for yourself? Can you follow? Can you push yourself? Can you push others? Do you have discipline? Will you work hard and find a way to push on even when pain and that little voice inside your head tells you to stop?
Then you should tryout for the Renegade Rowing Team.
We'll be training twice a week starting mid July and racing in September. More details are on their way.
Comment if you're ready! Tryouts in July!

CFB Yoga this Sunday! Sign Up Here!
Hey CFB!
Way to attack every WOD this week. Everyone has been pushing hard to make themselves better before, during, and after class. It's amazing to watch. Keep it up!
Here is another opportunity to make yourself better. The CFB Yoga Class will help you recover from this hard week of training and prepare you for next week. It will take place on Sunday morning at 8:30am. Please arrive a little early to be ready to start right at 8:30am. In order to participate, all you have to do is sign up below. Right now we have two people signed up and we need at least six people to make it a go, so please sign up as soon as you can. If you have any questions please shoot me an email – [email protected]
CFB Yoga – Sunday, May 18th @8:30am – Sign Up Here!
That's right, it's finally warm and nice outside and we're doing an all out 1k row in the gym! So, what are you going to do in preparation and during the 1k to get through it and back outside? Here is a solid warmup and 3 skills to get you ready and give you something to focus on when that voice inside your head tries to tell you to stop.
Renegade Rowing Club Warmup:
1min – 1/2 Legs Only
1min – Full Legs Only
1min – Legs and Body Only
1min – Full Strokes
1min – Pause @1/2 Slide Every Stroke
5min – 10 Strokes On/ 10 Strokes Off, 15 On/15 Off, 20 On/20 Off
Performing an appropriate warmup for the workout that is set out each day can make or break a performance. Above is the warmup we use fairly consistently in classes at CrossFit Boston and at the Renegade Rowing Club. It's a good 10min warmup to focus on posture, control, and connection. Checkout how slow the Renegade Rowing Club approaches the catch in the beginning. Executing this drill with control will allow you to really focus on putting technique changes into effect and hitting that catch with good timing and connection.
Please share what you do for a warmup when rowing is involved in the workout. What is your focus?
Posture, Control, Connection … Get Some!
- Posture – When dealing with posture we're looking for the torso to be stacked and strong at all times, whether you're in the lay back or swinging forward to prepare for the next catch.
- Control – When talking about control we are looking at the smoothness of the recovery and how the seat moves toward the catch. Does it rush forward for the next stroke? Is there control in the last few inches of the slide to change direction without pushing the boat backwards? I like to think of control as an ability to stop at any point in time and be in a strong position.
- Connection – Last and most important, connection! Is the seat and handle connected and moving together into and out of the catch as if connected by a strap? If you can focus on keeping your hips and hands connected as you apply pressure to the footboards you'll be able to find suspension and become weightless on your seat. If you want to save some energy and be more efficient during your rowing wods, connection is where it's at.

I have been practicing yoga for seven years. Yoga has helped me in all of my physical endeavors. I have a strong belief that yoga is beneficial to all walks of life. Yoga can be used to lengthen and strengthen the muscles of the body, as well as create a mindfulness of how the body moves. Through the yoga class we will focus on ways to maximize the body's performance during a WOD, and speed recovery after a WOD. It is through an organized series of poses we will work to recover from the previous week's workouts, while also preparing the body for the week to come. Through a focus of movement and breath we will work to become more conscious of the body's abilities, which in turn will take full advantage of all our bodies have to offer when working with the movements we see every day at CrossFit Boston.

Are you interested in Yoga?
500m Row … that's not that far…or is it?
Well done on that rowing wod earlier this week. With a ton of push ups and power cleans thrown in it's amazing how challenging even 500m on the erg can get. Everyone hit it hard and that solid work will definitely pay off.
I've been talking with a member who has been finishing up her yoga certification and we'd like to know if there is any interest in taking a yoga class either pre or post wod once a week. Thoughts?
I personally love yoga for it's focus on breathing and stretching while holding strong poses. If you'd like to get in on some yoga with me once a week please shoot me an email or comment below with your interest. If we can get enough interest to make it a weekly or monthly session then we'll get it going. – [email protected]
Also, Welcome Stan! Stan is graduating with Fight Gone Bad this week and will be joining you in group classes next week. He's a solid guy from Florida – Go Gators! – who is excited to throw down with you guys. Be sure to give him a high five next time you see him.

Welcome to CFB Joe!
Hey CFB! How was that snow yesterday? Ridiculous! Anyways, props to the morning crew who had to do burpees instead of running due to the flood on the street and winter conditions.
Who's ready to setup a Free Private Training Session? I've already heard from a few of you and I can't wait to help everyone set some goals and start attacking them. Remember, you can join any coaches team in the gym. It's up to you if you'd like more personalized feedback and help in reaching your goals. All you have to do is schedule a one-on-one session with a coach and you are on his team. Let me know how I can help you and let's get after it! – email me at [email protected] to setup a session to join the CFB Renegades.
Speaking of Renegades! Welcome Joe Z. to group classes! Joe is completing his graduation WOD, Fight Gone Bad, this week and he can't wait to mix it up with all of you. Here's a little bit about him and why he's joining CFB!

Familiar Place With a New Face…
or 5. Well actually only one of the faces is new but should be far less by now.
I am happy to introduce our new Interns/Coaches in learning. Most you will already know and some pretty well. Others this may be the first time you are meeting them and the first thing you will learn about them. Either way, take a moment to welcome them. You will be seeing them more frequently on the coaching floor; shadowing, assisting, leading portions of class, and eventually leading entire classes.
As a company, I have always believed in the idea of bringing a member up into coaching ranks as the first source of talent as opposed to hiring from outside of the organization. These individuals understand our culture and community. Know our members and usually have a smoother transition into the coaching ranks. There are exceptions to this rule and one of our new interns is such an exception.
Each intern is going through and extensive learning process behind the scenes and is learning the craft of becoming an excellent coach. The maturation process doesn't end.
Without further delay…
MICKEY GROUSE (aka Mike Tsung)
I've been CrossFitting since November 2009. Earlier that year, I met former CrossFit Boston member, Josh Stahl, at a stair climb event and started up at CFB a few months later.
Early on, Helen was one of my favorite WODs. There is something about that triplet of running, pull-ups, and kettle bell swings that really appealed to me. I'm also a big fan of DT and Annie, two WODs that could not be more different! My least favorite WOD is 14.5. That was gross, but I'm already looking forward to tackling it again sometime after someone puts the fire out in my triceps.
When I'm not at the gym, I also get people moving on the dance floor as a DJ. After years of rocking house parties, weddings, and other special events, I was granted a weekly residency at a downtown bar this past fall. I'm an excellent driver and I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career.
Why coach at CFB? The people, obviously! The community here is awesome and I've forged some elite friendships on the way to forging semi-elite fitness. I think one strength I have as a coach is the fact that I was never an athlete growing up and that many of these movements were (and continue to be) pretty foreign. In addition to receiving excellent coaching from the staff at CFB, I also have spent considerable time nerding out, reading as many articles as possible on form and technique of these various movements. I'm excited to be starting up at CFB — see you all in the gym!
ALEX BLACK – Wicked Good Nutrition
I started CrossFit when I joined CFB in early 2011, but I did very similar training to CrossFit in college. We did a lot of functional movement, Oly lifts, and gymnastics, workouts were just called "power circuits" instead of "WODs".
Murph is definitely one of my favorites – I love how the community comes together for that one and I love chippers. Least favorite is Fran and anything with lots of rowing.
Running, playing tennis, skiing, shopping, and watching college football (go gators). Anything that gets me out of the house and doing something fun with other people.
I became an RD because I want to help people achieve a healthy, active, and happy life, and my reasons for becoming a CrossFit coach are the same. I want to help people see themselves as strong, capable athletes — not just dieters and exercisers. I'm also excited about learning the ins and outs of good coaching from Neal and other experienced coaches.
My nutrition and gymnastics background and an ability to connect with people and explain difficult concepts in a way that makes sense.
COUGER "CJ" JARAMILLO – "The Golden Archer"
I started crossfit spring of 2013 at CFB and my favorite WOD is a toss-up between Diane and Annie. My least favorite is Angie (it's just miserable the entire time).
When I'm not in the gym or class, I like going to movies with friends, playing pickup soccer, and reading (pretty much equal volumes of Russian literature and comic books). And whenever I'm in a city with an archery range, there's a 10:1 chance you'll find me there at any given time of day.
I want to become a coach because CrossFit has become one of the best parts of my day and I want to take a more active role in making that true for everyone who walks into CFB.
I'm currently studying physiology and biomechanics and am up to date on a lot of the recent literature -this gives me a unique perspective on CrossFit. Also, as a person who learned most of the CrossFit movements only recently, it's very easy for me to relate to newcomers to the sport and the problems they may have early on.
MARTIN BREU – Mobility King
I started CrossFit about 4 years ago when in college. I was looking for something to do after retiring from ski racing, and a friend of mine introduced me to CF
My favorite wow is an EMOM with anything heavy. My least favorite is anything with muscle ups or other stuff that I can't do. Goats, I gotta work on those goats!
If I'm not in the gym, I am most likely at the office working on some sweet spreadsheets. I do enjoy cooking when I get the time.
I have always wanted to be a coach and to pass on my (limited) knowledge and experiences. This community has given me so much help, I want to be a part of that for the next person.
What I bring to CrossFit Boston that's unique is my vast knowledge of mobility because of a MAN-crush I have on Kelly Starrett. Also, I have been training and programming for training for years in multiple sports.
ZACK MCWADE – THE Gentle Giant
I've been doing CrossFit for 2.5 years now. John Zimmer introduced me to it while working at Gentle Giant. I am not sure if mentioning John Z brings me legitimacy or if it immediately discredits me.
My favorite WOD is the Filthy Fifty, my least favorite is Fran.
In my free time I enjoy live music, movies, comic books, and I am a huge Patriots fan. I also play flag football and softball.
I wanted to be a coach because CrossFit has changed my life for the better and I wanted to share that with others. I've coached youth sports in the past and I love to teach. Becoming a CrossFit coach is something I've wanted for a while now.
It wasn't too long ago that I was more if a couch potato. I had played sports before in high school, but I was far from an active lifestyle. Now after a few years of CrossFit I can't imagine my life without it. I know that many people out there are afraid of CrossFit and are hesitant to try it because they think its too hard or they need to be in shape before starting. I think, using my own experiences, I can help people who are new to fitness find that same motivation and interest that has made me a lifer.

Mobility Wednesdays at CFB!
How's the week going? Excited to be over the hump?
I hope you all enjoyed that last wod of the Open. I usually look forward to burpees, but I can't say I ever want to do burpees and thrusters ever again. Congrats to Carla for crushing "14.5" and showing us all the Geriatric Burpee. If you want to learn, just challenge her to some burpees! She's going to need all of our support in preparation for Regionals! Let's keep hitting it hard and push each other to get better.
Speaking of making yourself better… the CrossFit Boston Renegades hosted a Mobility Session with HBS Member Kapil Khimdas on Saturday. We had a blast learning about the proper way to use mobility in relation to every day class as well as using a partner to inflict the right amount of pain. Here's a quick recap of what we learned:
1. Test and Retest – Use a friend to test the range of motion at a joint or try a couple of squats, deadlifts, or presses. How tight are you? Is there any pinching? Does the movement feel junky or smooth? Was there an improvement?
2. Range of Motion Mobility – We worked on the posterior chain floss and it was epic. Use range of motion work before class to prep for the movements we'll be using. Keep it dynamic and work the contract/relax cycle of the stretch.
3. Foam Rolling – Can be used during class to help with tweaks, but post class it's the best to make a change permanent and help with recovery. If it's not painful you're not smashing hard enough according to Kapil.
4. Tack and Floss – Pin a knotted muscle and then work through flexion and extension or side to side to improve function of the muscle and range of motion. Doing this post class will help with recovery and improving flexibility long term.
Mobility Wednesdays at CFB!
Kapil and the CFB Renegades will be hosting Mobility Wednesdays from now on at CFB. Every Wednesday night at 6:30pm we'll be helping each other smash, stretch, and improve. It started last night and If you'd like to join in, just show up and get after it. Kapil and I will be helping you guys run through a mobility routine and we'll work on a different area of the body each week. Drinks are welcome!
Shoot me an email if you have any questions! – [email protected]
This month I'm celebrating my third year as a CrossFit Level 1 Certified Trainer. It's been a solid three years of learning, growing, and experiencing all that this wonderful world of fitness has to offer. Recently I've been bringing a good friend Bob through our Private Training Foundations Course and it's been awesome watching his hard work, focus, and determination to learn things the right way and his fight for perfect technique. Bob's graduating with "Fight Gone Bad" this week and he's going to be joining the morning crew on his days off from rowing at CRI. While Bob may not be one of our youngest members he is young at heart and reminds me of how awesome it is to learn and challenge yourself every single day. I have fun learning new things and I hope you do to. Looking forward to another great year as a coach at CFB!
Here's what Bob is all about!
Who are you and what are you about?
I became interested in "serious" fitness in 2011 when I began to row at Community Rowing. This is where I met Pat. He was coaching the recreational sweeps program as part of the Institute for Rowing Leadership program he was enrolled in.
Why did you join CrossFit Boston?
I recognized that only rowing (on water and on the erg) was not providing me a whole body workout focused on strength and conditioning. At CrossFit Boston I like the energy level and attention to proper technique.
What are you getting out of the Private Training?
The private training is teaching me CrossFit fundamentals and the different types of WODs at a pace that I can better comprehend. Since I have mobility issues and my level of fitness is lacking, this is helping me prepare for group classes.
What are some of your goals for this year?
To increase strength and mobility.
What are you looking forward to once you graduate to group classes?
To (hopefully) keep up with the class and have CrossFit Boston complement my rowing.

Today was a good day, and I spent it all in New Mexico.
I woke up early this morning, really early. After getting dressed and ready I headed out the door to see how the sunrise was progressing. It was still early, so I popped back in my room, packed a bit more, and then headed out with my camera. Turns out Nancy and Kevin, the owners of the Blue Swallow Motel, were up and outside, and they turned the neon lights on for me so I could get some good sunrise shots with the sign lit up.
After checking with Nancy and Kevin for the best route to Santa Fe, I headed out to grab a bite to eat, fuel up and hit the road.
A drive-thru tattoo parlor.
Just outside of town I saw this horse standing in a "pasture" that was filled with junk cars and other bits of scrap. Thinking I might be able to get a good picture, I turned the car around and pulled onto the shoulder. I didn't want to scare the horse off, so I didn't get too close, but now I'm thinking I didn't get close enough.
I took NM 104 from Tucumcari to Las Vegas, NM (the real Las Vegas). For the first part of the ride the terrain looked mostly like this.
While I stopped to take some pictures I noticed a group of pronghorn antelope off to my left. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get a picture without scaring them off.
NM 104 was gorgeous as it made it's way through the country, eventually winding up the side of this plateau (mesa?).
At the top of the plateau the terrain changed dramatically, eventually becoming wide open grasslands. I noticed another small group of pronghorns bedded down in the grass on the side of the road. I figured I might be able to get a nice shot of them with the snowy mountains in the background. By the time I turned the car around and headed back to them, they had become a little suspicious. I still managed to get a decent photo though.
Before too long, I had made my way into Santa Fe, just in time for lunch. I headed down to the old downtown Santa Fe and grabbed a quick bite at Tia Sophia's before walking around town with my camera, grabbing shots here and there.
I had heard that Santa Fe is odd because ALL of the buildings are made out of (or made to look like they are made out of) adobe. Even the IHOP looked like an old adobe building. While it is a bit strange, it does make an impression.
Starting to fade a little from the heat and the harsh sun, I headed into the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum for a respite. I enjoyed it much more than I expected. It was neat hearing about how she saw the world and translated what she saw in her medium. There was also a great room full of photographic portraits of Georgia, some of which were just incredible. They had a huge print of the famous Yousuf Karsh portrait of her in her New Mexico home.
This is NOT MY PHOTO – this is a reproduction of the Yousuf Karsh portrait someone posted on Flickr.
It was really refreshing and inspiring to see the works on display. I left that museum seeing the world differently than I did when I entered.
Shadows on the museum
Santa Fe is chock full of artists and art galleries. This was a cool sculpture outside one of the galleries.
After wandering around downtown, I finally made my way to my humble abode for the evening.
Tomorrow I'll be heading to the Painted Desert and the Petrified forest. Hopefully I'll get some decent pictures. Either way, I'm sure it will be an adventure.

I never "find" time to exercise - I just exercise and then somehow the time comes to fit in all the other things.
There are some things I love doing, others I'd rather not.
Setting goals that you can acheive, don't try to master other ideals you know what your body is capable of stay in your area but try to improve each time you go out whether it walking or jogging or picking up weights, keep a log or journal of how you did, at first dont time your self, when walking, jogging, after you have done it a while, time your self to watch your improvements, doing this my diabeties, and high blood pressure or under control, starting small has rewarded me to a stronger life
When I try a new shirt at the store, if it doesn't look good, I don't buy it. Nothing wrong with that. Just because I don't look good in every shirt doesn't mean there's anything *wrong* with me.So, while trying to find a healthy lifestyle that fits, if I'm not happy with what I'm doing or can't make it work, find something new. I'm not a failure because it doesn't look good on me.

"Discovering the genome sequence of maize is a huge step forward in getting at the functions of genes that will be useful in developing new bioenergy crops," McCann said. "We will be able to identify mutants in key genes of interest and then assess how mutation changes the plant cell wall and if those changes are useful."
Researchers found that maize's cell wall genes were more similar to those of rice than to Arabidopsis, a plant often used as a model in scientific experiments.
"Now we're starting to see differences in the families of related genes and how those genes are expressed," said Bryan Penning, McCann's lab manager and a co-author on both papers. "Now that we have the sequence, we can start building a reservoir of data on the expression patterns of the cell wall genes."
The next step in using the data collected will include testing the mutant genes and exploring how expression of particular genes can be regulated to produce desired characteristics in a maize plant.

The Coca-Cola Company has always banked on advertising, and that belief has taken it to the pinnacle of its success.
Fantastic, colorful, wholesome, and memory provoking are just a few of the words and phrases that can be used to describe Coca-Cola advertising. It has gone through changes and developments since the late 1800s in order to continue catching the eyes of the public and retain its place as a prime market player and mover. With advertising comes branding, packaging, campaigns, promotional offers such as the Coke coupons, to be able to reach a wider scope and be visible in the battlefield.
While it is true that the companies who have penetrated the market should keep its position or even try to outdo its current performance, one must not also forget that there are still unreached areas and that the biggest challenge for the company is have them try at what the product is really all about.
More than just mere blah-blah of words, you must give them the first hand experience, and in the case of Coca- cola, have the portion of the market actually taste how Coke really is. And this was exactly the challenged posed to Asa Candler when he acquired Coke in the early 1890s. The best solution he thought was to offer consumers a free sample of his new product through the use of sampling coupons. This said to be the birth of Coke coupons. He sent out mails to consumers inviting them to visit local soda fountain and enjoy a free glass of Coca-cola. As the first coupon card say it, "This card entitles you to one glass of free Coca-cola at any fountain of any dispenser of genuine Coca-Cola". For the record, between the years 1894 to 1913, more than 8.5 million coupons were redeemed by the company. This was the pioneering marketing efforts Asa Candler initiated which revolutionary brought Coca-Cola to its current position in the market today.
Coca-Cola's generosity was generously rewarded. On its year of launch, almost one of every nine Americans had received a free drink. By 1913, Coca-Cola had redeemed 8.5 million "free drink" Coke coupons. Today it's one of the world's most recognized brands, with an estimated one billion cans of Coca-Cola consumed around the world on a daily basis. And the Coke coupon itself has made a smooth transition to the 21st century.
At this age however, Coke coupons no longer come in free drinks as treat for everyone. They passed the stage of introduction, and their prime concern now is keeping its market position, retaining the market share or possibly exceeding its current mark. The company still sees the coupon campaigns an effective way to maintain it, thus still continuing to give out coupons by way of discounts off their price tag. They provide printable coupons to consumers which they can present when they make their purchase of their favorite Coke product. This move will not only help the consumers in terms of savings they make out of it, but also a marketing strategy by the company in order to continue being a key player in the market.

The Gift of Abandonment. ~ Jennifer Townsend
A mother can commit suicide.
Even if her daughters are being sexually abused and desperately need her.
Even though their reluctant father, an alcoholic Vietnam War vet with PTSD, will drag them around to seedy bars until all hours of the night, and ultimately give them up for adoption.
Even though the well-intentioned relatives that eventually take them in will keep them at arm's length, and care more for what the neighbors think than making emotional connections.
But also:
People who are not blood-related can validate you in the most amazing way.
Parents of your friends can renew your faith in family,
put you on a spiritual path,
and plant seeds that will not only help you to survive, but thrive—
and come full circle to be the parent you always wanted, to your own children.

Thank you for your story. I have so much respect for people who have been all the way to hell and managed to stand up and live their life. After all what happened you have healed so much that you are able to love your kids – that is just amazing.

I felt the eye wells come close to spilling over…but what I find most beautiful is that you chose to use the pain as a platform to create the person that you can love and appreciate. This is tragic and yet beautiful Jennifer…
Thank you…

Article Summary:
I don't necessarily consider myself an "ultra light" long distance backpacker as my base pack weight is just over 20 pounds, but one thing I stopped carrying long ago was soap. When I did carry it, it was an "eco-friendly" brand like Dr. Bronner's or Mountain Suds, and I used it mainly for camp kitchen clean up. The problem I had with using soap for clean up was the water used had to either be filtered or boiled, and the dirty wash water had to be disposed of in the environment thus "leaving a trace" and potentially attracting wildlife. I came up with a solution that leaves absolutely no trace, doesn't waste any water and above all is very sanitary.

Ten members of the Morrow Civic Women's Club will strut, and sashay, their way down a catwalk in the First Baptist Church of Morrow gymnasium on Saturday, as the group hosts its 12th annual fashion show.Peggy Wilson, the chairperson for the event, said it is the community service organization's largest fund-raiser of the year. She said hundreds of people are expected to attend this year's show, which will carry the theme of "A Fashionable Southern Brunch." "We're expecting over 300 people to show up," Wilson said. "At last count, we had 380 tickets out [sold], and I know several people are planning to buy tickets at the door, so we're expecting well over 300 people to attend this year. It will be a full house." The fashion show is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m., with a brunch, and the models are expected to take to the runway at 10 a.m., Wilson said. The church is located at 1647 Lake Harbin Road, in Morrow. Tickets are $10 per person, and can still be purchased at the door, said Peggy Pruett, the first vice president of the club. She said the fashions are donated by the Belk store in McDonough. Pruett said door prizes, such as gift baskets made by club members, restaurant gift cards, and lotions, will be given out during the fashion show. Pruett added that all of the money raised through the fashion show is used to pay for service projects the group does for organizations such as SecurUS House, Haven House, Noah's Ark, and the Good Shepherd's Clinic. Wilson said the group also funds a scholarship for female students at Clayton State University. Over the years, the event has grown so large, that it had to be moved from the church's fellowship hall, to the gymnasium this year to accommodate a larger crowd, said Morrow Civic Women's Club President Connie Johnson. "Once people come, they want to come back the next year," Johnson said. "It's a nice event for mothers and daughters, and sisters and friends."

Are there flat tummy exercises that are the best for great female abs? Absolutely! To make this list, the female abs exercises must be safe, effective and can be done nearly anywhere. Your abs can be worked out every day.
I'm not going to lie to you girls, if you really want some nice sexy abs or even just to lose some weight around your waist, it is going to involve some hard work and discipline. I know what you are thinking…"Discipline" but that doesn't mean it has to be boring and not fun!
Going to the gym and just working out gets repeative and static. Unless you are highly motivated you will not see 6 months out on a consistant basis. The trick to losing weight and tightning you mid-section is to enjoy your working out.
and yes, part of reaching these goals is eating right as well. You should be able to eat what ever you want and you can but if your not burning the calories during the day, that weight will continue to pile on!
Bring out your perfect female abs
In order to actually lose the fat off your abs and really see some sexy abs, there are a few things you girls are going to have to be aware of.
The first objective is going to be, you need to focus and control your diet. Because a female's physiology is significantly different from a man's, you need to record your daily calorie intake and adjust your food accordingly.
Girls, it comes down to one thing! you are'nt commitied enough to the cause.
When i say you are'nt commited enough, i mean when the going get's tough and you are'nt seeing results, you are afraid to ask for help and give up!
Don't let this be the case, you must push through these growing pains and find the knowledge you are seeking.
If you would like a training program, visit your nearest health club and read more and more about this.

Property Owner Found To Be Within Zone Of Interest For Standing To Challenge Development
An appellate court reversed a lower court decision dismissing, for lack of standing, a challenge brought by a nearby property owner to a development over 1,000 feet from his property. In Matter of Ontario Heights Homeowners Association v. Town of Oswego Planning Board, the Appellate Division Fourth Department held that the property owner was within the "zone of interest" under the Environmental Conservation Law and therefore had standing to raise a challenge to a proposed development on environmental grounds.
The lower court had dismissed the action by the property owner across the street whose property is 697 feet from the property line of the development and 1,242 feet from the actual development. However, the Appellate Division held:
"Supreme Court erred in determining that he lacks standing to bring this proceeding. Dunsmoor, who resides across the street from the proposed development, has alleged that he may suffer environmental harm as a result of the Planning Board's decision to permit the developer to utilize a private sewage treatment plant on the proposed development, rather than utilizing the City of Oswego's public sewer system.... he is " arguably within the zone of interest to be protected by [article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law]' . . . and [has] standing to seek judicial review without pleading and proving special damage, because adverse effect or aggrievement can be inferred from the proximity' "
