Surprisingly enough - or not? - it seems few users do read the manuals… I'm guilty of this too (and Emacs' manuals will be my reading on my next vacations).
I always thought of doing this, but it never happened. Not the emacs manual, nor the elisp manual. Over the past 12 years of using emacs daily, i have read perhaps half of both manuals, counted in a accumulative way. The few times i tried to read emacs manual systematically in the past years, usually didn't last for more than few hours.
However, i have read cover to cover, word for word, systematically in a continued setting, several programing language or software manuals. Some of these software are quite more deeper than emacs. Here they are from my recollection.
(Note: emacs manual for emacs 22 is 589 pages in printed form, and elisp manual for emacs 21 is 900 pages.)
Microsoft Word manual i think i've read most of it in about 1992. (if i recall correctly, it's 2 books, one for reference) Though, i can't remember i actually read the manual in a systematic setting or just become expert by using and scanning the doc when needed. (i stopped using Microsoft Word in about 1998.)
HP-28S Advanced Scientific Calculator manual. (2 spiral bound books) I read cover to cover, twice, in about 1991. In fact this is how i learned programing, my first computer language, and the first i mastered.
(See: HP-28S Advanced Scientific Calculator and Xah Lee's Computing Experience (Impression Of Lisp from Mathematica). )
Mathematica manual (aka the Mathematica Book amazon ). I've read it 3 times in separate years, systematically, from cover to cover. This all happened in 1990s. Note that Mathematica the language, the subject it deals with, is inherently a order of magnitude more complex than emacs. The Mathematica book is 1381 pages, 3 kilograms. Heavy enough to hit someone to cause concussion.
This 4th edition published in 1999, is the last printed edition. Like most software, they no longer print manuals. The software no longer comes with this printed book since Mathematica 4 or before.
The Perl Book. I've read basically cover to cover in about 1998, 1999. (yes, i own the printed book. The printed book aka The Camel Book is edited version of Perl's man pages. 670 pages. Actually i've read all major Perl books from 1997 to ≈2000. 〔➤see Perl Books Survey 2002〕
Read the whole printed version of the The Unicode Standard, Version 3.0 amazon , in ≈2000, word for word. (1072 pages; though half of it is character table.) (See also: Xah's Unicode Tutorial.)
The PHP manual (online). Roughly read reasonably all of it in about a week, in 2005. (scanned in detail on parts that do not require detailed understanding at first.)
I enjoyed PHP manual tremendously. See: Examples of Quality Documentation in Computing Industry.
MySQL manual, online. Read it at the same time i read PHP manual from cover to cover, in 2005. Took me about week or two. I've been working with SQL or variants daily in a day job during 1998 to 2002, but haven't touched it for 2 years. So this reading was to brush up my SQL, as well as the first time comprehensive reading of MySQL documentation in particular.
Reading manuals systematically was a obsessive habit of mine, developed from early 1990s as part of a method to study English, and also somewhat a old-fashioned and stubborn, peculiar, mindset of wanting to learn everything from ground up, thoroughly, and from the original source. When i read manuals, i have a obsession of starting from page 1, including any Foreword or Introduction, and read sequentially, and carefully go thru every single word. If there's a misspelling in the manual and i didn't spot it, i considered it a failure of my reading.
Reading manuals, is also how i learned most of my programing. Just about any software, language, OS, i used from about 1991 to about early 2000s, i tried to read their manuals systematically from cover to cover, not missing a single word. This mentality and its severity, waned gradually over the past 20 years. Today, i do not take the pain to systematically read manuals of any new software i have to learn. (if a written documentation exists at all, or, isn't some haphazard wiki, or random notes by student joe (such as Python's docs. See: Python Documentation Problems.))
(Other manuals i've read quite a lot are for example: vast amount of unix man pages, Apache 1.x, Sun Microsystem's Solaris 8 (3 volumes) (≈1999), Scheme R4RS (≈1998), Java (≈1999 to ≈2006), Microsoft's JScript (≈2005), Python (≈2005), Mac OS X Server official doc from Apple, …)
(side note: my peculiar habit of reading manual by carefully going thru every word starting from page one is actually not a good habit to have. What i was doing is more or less analyzing the text, but mistaking it as careful reading. Analyzing is great as a study, but if you do that on every book, it's a waste of time.)
Elena wrote:
Emacs is too much a complex (not difficult) and powerful software to be used by intuition alone, unlike many softwares we are used to.
This is simply not true.
For example, from personal experience, Blender (a 3D modeling software), Second Life (virtual world software) both are more complex than emacs. More complex in the sense of learning it, as well in terms of effort or complexity of their implementation, as well as inherent complexity by the nature of these software's purpose.
Second Life i've been using for about 3 years now. 〔➤see Second Life Screenshot Gallery〕 Blender i started to learn this year… but quite too complex and difficult to get started.
I'd say, Blender or Second Life, each, are a order magnitude more complex and rich than emacs. Either considered from simple use aspect, or in-depth use aspect such as coding in their scripting languages to use them fully. (akin to coding emacs lisp. See: LSL Scripting Tutorial.)
Also, depending on what you mean by "use"…. For example, if you take the perspective of emacs lisp as a language, then, compared to programing Java, C, C++, all are quite richer than elisp and takes longer to explore before reaching diminishing returns. If you take the perspective of emacs as programing framework/platform for creating applications such as file manager, ftp client, irc client, mp3 manager, etc, then, compared to proper software frameworks such as Mac OS and Windows, both are a order more complex, of bottomless learning depth, as well far more powerful.
Am writing this because i want to dispel the cult phenomenon surrounding emacs. On the net we often hear some magical qualities about emacs, but i think if you look at it seriously, usually much of it are not meaningful.
Since this issue kept cropping up in my mind over the past ≈5 years, in argument with many emacs fanatics, i thought about the question: is there a claim we can make that gives the air of superiority or god-like quality of emacs, yet is meaningful and can be justified by verification?
I think to that question we need to be concrete and specific. If a claim is made concrete, then its veracity can be more easily judged. For examples, the following i think can be claimed:
The above claims are still not so precise, but are items i think can be reasonably justified. Or can be made more precise, and that the sum of them can conclude that emacs is quite powerful and versatile.
On the other hand, the following i think are in the category of myths:
There are a lot such myths going around different communities. In Perl community, it's filled to the brim about how Perl is everything and great. In the Common Lisp community, you hear fantastic things about lisp being the god of all programing languages, while they almost never mention emacs lisp as a language, and if they do, it's all sneer and spits and attacks to no ends. In the Scheme lisp community, likewise you hear how it is the most beautiful, the most elegant, and the most powerful, of all, with its call-cc and tail recursion and whatnot. ( See: Scheme & Failure • Language, Purity, Cult, and Deception. ) In unix community, which is usually hated by lispers of all factions, you hear how unix is the most versatile, the greatness of its "Unix philosophy" and "KISS" principles. 〔➤see The Nature of the Unix Philosophy〕 Likewise, there's also commercially generated myths, ➢ for example: Java, about how it solves all cross-platform problems with the slogan "Write once, run anywhere", and how OOP solves the world's programing problems, etc. 〔➤see What are OOP's Jargons and Complexities〕
All these spur from communities that developed certain cult following. Ultimately, it's more harmful than good. Damaging to the general public, as well as damaging to the community itself, long term.
What i'd like to say, is that, yes i love emacs and you love emacs. However, when praising, be concrete and specific on what you like about it, and avoid idolization. Because, idolization cultivates cult-like mindset, and when the community is cult-like, it becomes a closed community, and impedes progress.

In June 2011, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) settled a pay discrimination lawsuit against AstraZeneca, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies. The settlement is notable not just for the salary adjustments AstraZeneca agreed to make, but more for the wide-ranging, prospective action to which AstraZeneca agreed.
In discussing the settlement, OFCCP Director Patricia Shiu highlighted the steps the OFCCP is taking to aggressively combat pay discrimination. More recently, on July 1, 2011, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis spoke about the OFCCP's efforts to end pay discrimination as one of three key enforcement efforts by the agency and on August 10, 2011, it began the formal rulemaking process to develop a tool to gather compensation data from federal contractors. We recommend a close look at your compensation practices now, to avoid future problems with the OFCCP as well as with private plaintiffs.
In early June 2011, AstraZeneca agreed to pay $250,000 to 124 women in order to settle a lawsuit claiming pay discrimination against female sales specialists at its Philadelphia business center. The OFCCP claimed the female sales specialists had been paid, on average, $1,700 less than male sales specialists. AstraZeneca agreed not only to provide back pay for the women covered by the lawsuit, but agreed to work prospectively to with the OFCCP to conduct statistical analyses of pay for hundreds of employees in 13 states and the District of Columbia, and to make salary adjustments as needed. A copy of the Consent Decree can be accessed here.
In commenting on the Astra Zeneca settlement, OFCCP Director Shiu highlighted three problems that needed to be addressed to help close the pay gap: (1) a better way to collect good data from employers, "to identify and root out discrimination"; (2) better regulations regarding pay secrecy, which would allow women to talk openly about their salaries; and (3) education of workers and employers about their rights and obligations. Director Shiu stated the agency would address these issues by proposing a new data collection tool for compensation and new regulations, and by "aggressively going after employers who discriminate."
In July 2011, Secretary of Labor Solis spoke at an employment lawyers' convention, focusing on the OFCCP's enforcement efforts to end pay discrimination, among a few other goals. Concerning efforts to end pay discrimination, Secretary Solis highlighted that the OFCCP is "dramatically" shifting its enforcement priorities. She noted that in 2010, 14 percent of the OFCCP's investigations involved compensation and she anticipated that the percentage would increase in 2011 to between 20 and 40 percent of all investigations.

Product Care
Glass care today is more important than ever. Insulating, low-e or heat reflective glass requires proper maintenance to ensure best performance over the life of the product.
• Never use a razor blade, putty knife, steel wool, abrasive pad or anything that may scratch the glass surface.
• Never use a pressure washer or high-pressure sprayer to wash or rinse windows, doors or skylights as this can dislodge seals and gaskets and damage frame components.
• Clean glass with a vinegar-based cleaner or mixture of a mild soap or detergent and water. Rinse completely with clear water, then wipe dry with a soft cloth or a squeegee to help avoid water spots. Always test cleaners in an inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid washing glass in direct sunlight to reduce streaking of the glass.
• Avoid abrasive, petroleum-based or caustic cleaners because they may cause permanent damage to the finish or the glass.
• When painting, staining or finishing sash or frame components adjacent to glass surfaces the use of masking tape on the glass is recommended to protect it from splatter or overcoat that may require excessive clean-up.
• Clean screens by gently vacuuming with a brush attachment. Or, remove for cleaning and gently vacuum or wash on a flat, clean surface with mild soap and water and a soft brush. Rinse, wipe or air dry and reinstall.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today met Chinese President Xi Jinping here and pressed for a solution to the boundary question, saying if the two sides could amicably resolve the vexed issue, it would set an example for the world on peaceful conflict resolution.
The two leaders, who arrived almost at the same time in this seaside city of Brazil last evening to attend the BRICS Summit, engaged shortly thereafter for what was described as "good discussions and good meeting".
The meeting - first between the two leaders - was scheduled for 40 minutes but it went on for 80 minutes as it was freewheeling discussion without any constraints.
"Had a very fruitful meeting with Chinese President Mr. Xi Jinping. We discussed a wide range of issues," Modi tweeted after the meeting with Xi, also the General Secretary of the ruling Communist Party of China.
"Both sides emphasised on the need to find a solution to the Boundary Question. The Prime Minister stressed the importance of strengthening mutual trust and confidence, and maintaining peace and tranquility on the border," said a statement issued by the Prime Minister's Office.
Prime Minister Modi told Xi that "if India and China could amicably resolve the Boundary Question, it would set an example for the entire world, on peaceful conflict resolution," the statement added.
The two sides have held 17 rounds of the Special Representative talks aimed at resolving the boundary issue.
India asserts that the border dispute covered nearly 4,057-km long Line of Actual Control, while China claims that it confined to about 2,000 km to the area of Arunachal Pradesh, which it refers as Southern Tibet.
During the meeting, Modi also suggested the addition of one more route for the Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra in Tibet, keeping in view the terrain difficulties.
President Xi "accepted this as a suggestion for consideration," the statement said.
The Yatra involves trekking at high altitudes of up to 19,500 feet under arduous conditions.
The leaders of the two fastest growing economies observed that India and China had enormous opportunities to not only forge mutually beneficial partnerships, but also serve as catalytic agents of Asian and global prosperity.
President Xi underscored the importance of the bilateral relationship and said: 'When India and China meet, the whole world watches.'
The two leaders expressed satisfaction at the high momentum of bilateral engagement during the past few weeks, including the visit of Vice President

Why Choose a Lang Smoker Cooker?
Frequently Asked Question
Why should I choose a Lang?
Q. I am currently in the market for a smoker and your 48" Deluxe or 48" Hybrid Deluxe has caught my eye. I am treating myself to an upgrade. There are plenty of smoker manufacturers out there and I want to know what sets you apart from the rest? What advantages do your smokers have compared to the competition? When upgrading to a smoker that utilizes thicker-gauged steel, do you still have to tend to the fire every 45 minutes? Can you explain the Reverse Flow set-up that you use on your products? I am currently in Southeast Michigan and was wondering if you have a distributor in the area?
A. Yes, sir, the thicker medal does hold the heat better. The average burn time for slow cooking is every 40-50 minutes for most, with 1-2 hours burn times achieved by many. Fire management is the key. When fast cooking and grilling at hotter temps, larger fires are required with similar burn times.
Our reverse flow system utilizes an all-welded drip and grease pan, which is a griddle in a Lang BBQ Smoke Smoker. The best BBQ comes from cooking with split wood and fat searing on a clean griddle. It is moisture and flavor beyond compare and it can't be duplicated. Lang BBQ Smokers are authentic and offer legendary performance, second to none.
All sales are factory direct. No middle man between you and your BBQ experts. Deal direct. WE WILL HELP YOU ANY WAY WE CAN!

Q&A: High Intensity Training for Seniors
This Q&A is a general response to several specific questions I've received through e-mail and comments on other posts regarding high intensity training for seniors.
Is high intensity strength training safe for seniors?
Whether high intensity training is safe for any particular individual depends on their current health and physical condition. Certain conditions may increase the risk of injury. That being said, when properly performed using appropriate exercises high intensity strength training is safer and more beneficial for seniors than any other activity.
When an exercise is performed correctly using a slow, controlled speed of movement over an appropriate range of motion the level of force the body is exposed to is kept well within safe limits for even very frail subjects such as those with severe osteoporosis.
When breathing is done correctly, Val Salva's maneuver and excessive gripping are avoided, and the head is kept above the remainder of the body during exercise blood pressure is maintained at a safe level.
In addition to being safer for your joints, high intensity strength training is also safer for the cardiovascular system than steady-state activities like jogging, cycling or using a stair climber or elliptical machine. The high intensity contractions that occur during resistance training enhance venous return which improves coronary artery blood flow (blood flow to the heart itself). Doug McGuff, MD explains this in detail in The Body by Science Question and Answer Book, and discusses an interesting study from the Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation that showed circuit strength training was safer than treadmill walking; "30 of the 42 subjects had one or more cardiovascular complication (arrhythmia, angina, ischemia, hypertension, hypotension) during the aerobic exercises as compared to only 1 subject with complications during resistive exercises." (Daub WD, et al. Strength training early after myocardial infarction. J Cardiopulm Rehabil. Mar-Apr;18(2):145-52.)
Over the past two decades I have trained dozens of seniors including several in their seventies and eighties with a variety of medical conditions including several with severe spine conditions (and one middle-aged man with a grade-three spondylolisthesis) and not one has been injured doing high intensity training.
How should high intensity training be performed by seniors?
The same general principles that apply to athletes and bodybuilders apply to seniors, the only difference is that although everybody should always train as safely as possible seniors need to be especially cautious about which exercises they perform and how they perform them. The following are a few general guidelines:
- Start out with just a few basic, multi-joint exercises working the major muscle groups. Perform only one work set of each exercise per workout. Some find their joints tolerate certain exercises better after a light warm up set, although for most this is unnecessary if proper form is used.
- Perform the exercises with only a light weight at first and focus on learning to move and reverse direction smoothly and breathe continuously.
- Be very conservative with repetition speed; take at least three seconds to lift and three seconds to lower the weight, reversing direction as smoothly as possible without bouncing, yanking, or jerking the weight. Pause for a second or two in the fully-contracted position on compound pulling exercises and simple exercises. If you're moving slowly enough six to ten repetitions should take you around fifty to eighty seconds to complete.
- When you are able to perform ten or more repetitions of an exercise in good form, the next time you perform the exercise add five pounds or five percent more weight, whichever is less. It is common to recommend higher repetition ranges for seniors both because of the perceived increase in safety and because of the conversion of type II to type I muscle fibers with age, however a range of six to ten is fine when performed at a slow speed.
- As the exercises become more challenging you'll start to experience elevated heart rate and breathing. At first, allow a minute or two between exercises for heart rate and breathing to return to normal before performing the next exercise. Over time as your conditioning improves gradually reduce the rest between exercises to improve the cardiovascular and metabolic effect.
- Train no more than three times a week the first few weeks while learning the exercises then cut back to training only twice a week. If your progress slows down reduce your frequency to once weekly. Some people may require even more recovery time/less frequent training than this. The amount of recovery time required between workouts increases with age and can vary considerably between individuals.
- It is normal for your muscles to burn, and for your breathing and heart rate to increase but if something hurts or if you begin to feel dizzy, nauseous, or faint or think you maybe starting to get a headache stop the exercise immediately and carefully exit the machine or set down the weight.
Keep in mind these are only general guidelines. The specifics can vary significantly between individuals depending on age, genetic and environmental factors, current health, etc. The specific exercises and style of performance that is best for you may be different than what is appropriate for someone else. For more detailed guidelines read High Intensity Workouts.
My doctor told me not to lift a weight that is heavier than X, can I still do high intensity training?
This depends on why your doctor made that recommendation. There may be a very good reason for it, or they might just be covering their ass.
Often, the advice to not lift more than some amount of weight is based on the assumption excessive weight is what causes injury during exercise. The real concern is not how much weight but how you attempt to move it. You can be injured lifting a very light weight if you do it in a careless or fast and jerky manner, however even a very heavy weight will not injure you if you attempt to lift it correctly and pay careful attention to form. If you follow the above advice to start with a light weight and only increase it when you are able to perform 10 or more repetitions in strict form you shouldn't have any problems.
I trained an 85 year old man who started out only able to use a very light weight during pressing exercises due to shoulder problems. Within a year he was using nearly quadruple his starting weight on the chest and shoulder press and, more importantly to him, significantly increased the distance he could drive a golf ball.
I have a medical condition, can I still do high intensity training? Can high intensity training help? What are the risks?
I get a lot of questions from people with specific injuries and medical conditions asking if it is OK for them to do high intensity training. I am not a medical doctor and can not give you any kind of official clearance. Unless you are a one-on-one personal training or phone client who has signed a waiver I'm not going to give any specific advice related to training with any kind of medical condition either.
While I have no doubts about my ability to teach someone how to train safely, I have no control over how advice given out over the internet or by phone is implemented. If you aren't sure about your health visit your doctor. Regular check ups will make you aware of any problems which might affect your ability to train safely. If you ask a doctor about exercise expect them to give very conservative recommendations, probably something "safe" like walking they figure you can't hurt yourself doing and sue them over.
Can you recommend a trainer where I live?
If I know and trust in the knowledge and competence of a trainer near where you live I will refer you to them. I do not, however, recommend just hiring any personal trainer because most of them have no idea what they're doing and a lot of what I've seen personal trainers teaching seniors is an ineffective waste of time at best and dangerous at worst. Certifications are meaningless – most of what the major certifying organizations teach their trainers about exercise performance is utter nonsense.
I've directly observed personal trainers in several gyms and training studios who market themselves as specialists in "senior fitness" who had no idea what proper exercise form was or how to teach it, had their clients doing numerous ineffective and inappropriate things, and generally wasting their time and money. You would have a much better chance of getting it right on your own with just the general guidelines above than by hiring these "senior fitness specialists".

Awesome. Sent to my 68 year old Dad who is slow to adopt HIT. I think the comment about the 85 year old guy who is hitting his drives longer will help.

Drew-thanks for the article. Like I've said before, I train several seniors here in Arizona and they're all doing very well with the HIT. They are all very excited about the continued progress they are seeing-and typically need a trainer to push them hard through their routine. It's too bad more trainers don't use this approach.

While doing research on sarcopenia and resistance training, here comes your posting! (I had discovered you and your work a few days before.)
I'm 64, I've never been into bodybuilding, weight training, or athletics generally. I've lost almost 100 pounds with a paleo diet and mountain bike riding. Then I discovered that I had NO upper body strength whatsoever. So, off into the research of what I can do.
I bought Body by Science and read it a few times. I did internet research. Finally, I went to one of the city rec centers (read: free) and started figuring out the available machines and free weights. And then, in hindsight, I made a mistake…..to the good, I think.
I didn't find McGuff very clear on the exact protocol, so what I wound up doing and fine tuning is a single rep of 60-90 seconds, max or 90 degree contraction, to exhaustion as measured by "I can't even wiggle this thing." My breathing is intense and loud, and after the workout I feel like I've had a Near Death Experience.
But, oy vey! I've gained 400% strength in five weeks on the horizontal row, other gains less but very good. My muscles are obviously flexing and popping as I move about now. My bike speeds have gone up.
I can think of several reasons why this would be a good workout for seniors: It's simple, no rep counting, no partners, no subjectivity (you do the goal time or you don't), no joint injuries, once a week workout.
Accepting that these goals are different from those of younger people and bodybuilders, am I missing anything to be concerned about?
Since it seems every protocol needs a name, I'm calling it K.I.S.S.; Keep It Simple Seniors.
PS, nice work and philosophies. Your idols and respected experts are the ones I'm learning to listen to, too.

Great article, I have a few seniors that I train once a week. I have Medx for compound movements and Nautlus single joint leg machines.
I am currently using a 'hyper extension' bench for back extensions,about 1/3 of the full range of motion. I found that it is easier to teach than varios forms of deadlift with free weights, but I do have a senior lady that gets a little light headed on this exercise,any thoughts on hyper extensions vs deadlifts w/ barbells or dumbells?
Assuming she's breathing correctly and is only experiencing the lightheadedness on back extensions I recommend slowing down her positive speed, especially at the start of each rep, as well as instructing her not to go so low that her head is below the rest of the body. If this doesn't help you may want to switch her to deadlifts if she doesn't have any joint issues or conditions which would prevent her from performing them safely.
If you start people out with a light weight and spend several workouts practicing form before gradually progressing the resistance most can learn to deadlift safely. I recommend getting an aluminum training bar (most weigh only 10 pounds and can be loaded up to 150) and a pair of 5 pound bumper plates which will allow you to have people learn to perform the exercise with as little as 20 pounds if necessary.

I'm certainly qualified to talk about HIT as both an old person, 72, and also as having been involved for the past 6 years in using HIT in my (now sold) studio to train people . Age poses absolutely no limitation. PERIOD, end of story. Those limitations that do exist are also those which come from conditions that afflict younger people, dementia probably excepted. If there are no limitations associated with compromised joint function, so long as the movement cycles are controlled, especially at the turn-arounds; and, so long as care is taken to teach the requisite degree of control using resistance levels and a movement cycle pace that allows you as the trainer to observe carefully for discrepancies in form and pace, then "have at it." I'm so sick and tired of this Silver Sneaker shit that has populated gyms around our area: sarcopenia in – sarcopenia out. These folks look like I looked when I was doing marathons and ultra-marathons 30 years ago: muscularly wasted. Wow, when I think of the time I put into those efforts and thought I was "in shape," well, I shudder. (Even so, and what was most compelling about those efforts, and why in retrospect I did it was the camaraderie amongst fellow runners).
Anyways, hope this helps,

Is it possible that a more moderate form of training may be more beneficial for those with cardiovascular conditions especially if resistance training is used as their primary form of exercise?
Br J Sports Med 2009;43:615-618
Effect of 12 weeks of moderate–intensity resistance training on arterial stiffness: a randomised controlled trial in women aged 32–59 years
Background: Resistance training has been increasingly incorporated into the overall exercise programme because of its effect on muscle strength, functional capacity and osteoporosis. High-intensity resistance training increases arterial stiffness. However, the effect of moderate-intensity resistance training on arterial stiffness is unknown.
Objective: To determine whether 12 weeks of moderate-intensity resistance training increases arterial stiffness in middle-aged women.
Methods: 35 middle-aged women (age range 32 to 59 years) volunteered to participate. The subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups: resistance training (RT) group, aerobic exercise training (AET) group or control group. The RT and AET groups performed 12 weeks of moderate-intensity resistance training or aerobic exercise training (two days/week).
Results: In the RT group, one-repetition maximum strength significantly increased after the intervention. Interestingly, aortic (carotid–femoral) pulse wave velocity (PWV; an index of arterial stiffness), and peripheral (femoral–ankle) PWV did not change with moderate-intensity resistance training. In contrast, in the AET group, carotid–femoral PWV significantly decreased after the intervention. Resistance training and aerobic exercise training did not affect blood pressure.
Conclusions: This study found that moderate-intensity resistance training did not increase arterial stiffness in middle-aged women, which may have great importance for health promotion with resistance training.
At first training should always be more moderate; the goal when starting out is to learn and practice exercising correctly and maximize skill. As they become skilled in the movements, proper breathing, etc., intensity should be gradually increased, with progression dependent upon individual response.
I'm not surprised arterial stiffness didn't increase with moderately intense resistance training and it shouldn't increase much more with higher intensity resistance training either. Although heart rate and stroke volume increase, the blood vessels supplying the working muscles dilate, so there shouldn't be as much peripheral resistance.

Would you please expound upon your statement in point #4, i.e.–that with age one type of muscle fiber converts to another. I do not believe that I've heard this previously. Thank you.
mac August 13, 2011 at 11:21 am #
Will proper HIT postpone or, at least, mitigate this retrogression?
Micheal March 8, 2014 at 3:40 am #
Really excellent. I`m 42. I did bodybuilding. Now I want to restart. Is it possible to build muscle in this age ? Would you be kindly enough to guide me to achieve my goal (building muscle , a good physique). What should be my workout routine and diet plan ? Waiting for your advice.
The older you get the more difficult it becomes to increase muscular strength and size, but it is still possible to do so. There are several workouts listed in the articles on this web site, and I have several books on the subject and am available for phone consultations if you need additional help.
Awesome! Hadn't seen this article. I have several clients over 70. Oldest is 85 and he is now able to get up off the floor using only his legs, and do at least 5 partial push ups when he could do none. Only a few months of training using HIT once a week!
Here's a other client who had the goal of Leg pressing 300 lbs. Now she's up to 400+
I started a SuperSlow zone workout a bit over a year ago; I turn 60 this summer. Read McGuff's Body by Science also. Nautilus leg press has gone from 150-315 in that time. Started out with 8 exercises, 3 minutes to failure then raise the weight; have evolved to 4-5 exercises 2 min to failure and am lengthening the interval. 7 days just isn't enough to really recover (i pretty much beat myself to a pulp in the 10 minute workout.) My 81 year old mother is starting up and likes it, my 56 year old outrageously overweight brother is starting and making good gains. Next project is my dad, who has been doing weight circuits for many years but I don't think he really progresses the weights. Nevertheless he is a disciplined exerciser. Any other references on people with heart disease and weights? (I'm a physician.)
Thanks for what you do. Am excited to get your new book soon.
Hey Jim,
You're welcome. The print books should ship early this week and I hope you like it.
I recommend reading the article Cardiovascular Adaptations by Doug McGuff, MD, which discusses high intensity strength training and cardiovascular and metabolic adaptations, with references to several studies.
Drew: I love reading your comments and articles, no BS, no nonsense, yet full of interesting details. I will be 60 years old on my next birthday. Over the last several years I have trained off and on in an HIT style. Mind you that I am no "athlete", not geneticaly gifted, have nothing to "brag about" in terms of physique, etc.
However, that doesn't mean I have not seen true benefits from training. I have been able to lose about 40 pounds of excess fat, although I still have another 20-30 before I look and feel the way I'd really like to. I have been earnestly trying to reduce, by way of a popular and safe/healthy widely known commercial program. No gimmicks or tricks, just concentrating on healthy eating in moderation, logging every morsel of food. This "plan" encourages regular exercise in addition to the daily routine of logging your food. I was doing just one HIT workout (of 5-6 exercises)per week, a la Body By Science. Almost every week I made progress, but I suspect I'd do even better if I could push myself to the extent Dr. Darden and McGuff and you emphasize. I think one probably really does need a trainer to get to that next level, (although plenty of people are doing it without one). Couple of things I have learned and I am sure you already can confirm these: We all gain muscle at our own rates, you have to be careful not to compare yourself to another. Frequency, too, is something that you have to monitor and find a schedule that leads to muscle building and not overtraining. About 7 months ago I was in high gear, really pushing it in my strength workouts, seeing steady gains(albeit modest ones)almost every week. Foolishly(to see if I could accelerate the fat loss process) I added in 30-60 minutes of hard aerobic exercise 2-3X's per week. I'd finish my 5-6 exercises, then once a week I'd jump right onto an elliptical and go 100% full blast, and maintain a pace that was at the upper limits of my cardio zone. Wearing a Polar Heart Rate monitor I was able to see that I was at a high aerobic intensity. The other days I'd walk on a treadmill or bike for about 35 minutes at a more moderate pace. Well, one day I got off the machines and felt a twinge of pain in my lower back. Of course I ignored it, for the most part. I did back off a bit, but later that day while doing yard work, I suffered an agonizing electric shock type incident in my back. I was literally frozen in pain, unable to even take a step without real, frightening waves of pain. I took several months off to "recover" and have since gotten back to a more reasoned approach. My lesson learned was that you have to be aware of your strengths as well as your limitations. Osteoarthritis in the knees may be helped by strength training, but you still have the underlying problem. Not being genetically "gifted" is not a death sentence, but you have to accept that you may not have the same results as a "born athlete". Oh, and the cardio is way overated. You have stressed that enough, but sometimes we get all worked up and forget the simple truths. A truly intense HIT workout works all the muscles, you just don't need those other things. They are as much a security blanket as anything else. It may take me longer to get there than when I was 25, but I will get there.
Thanks Lou,
You're right, everybody responds to exercise at a different rate and to a different degree and it is important not to judge your progress against others.
What you're describing sounds like a back spasm, which can be caused by overuse. It is important to listen to your body and avoid movements or activities which cause pain (other than normal muscular burning due to exertion) to prevent injuries.
When properly performed high intensity training will stimulate improvements in all general factors of functional ability, and it will do so more effectively, more safely, and more efficiently than any other activity recommended for the purpose. It is the only exercise you need (and if you want to get technical, the only thing that really qualifies as proper exercise).

Hi Drew sorry if I'm going off topic,just wanted to know have you trained anyone with Ankcholosing spondylitis and wanted to know what exercises you would recommend for someone with a kyphosis.I tend to do a general whole body routine with shin drag dead lifts as described by Dr Mcguff.Thanks Rob
I haven't trained anyone with ankylosing spondylitis but I have trained people who had vertebrae fused due to surgery who were able to maintain good posture with trunk extension and rotation and neck extension. These should help maintain mobility and improve posture. I also recommend performing pullovers. They won't make your rib cage larger as many bodybuilders used to believe but they may help maintain rib cage mobility which can some times be reduced with ankylosing spondylitis.
Bradley warlow June 11, 2014 at 11:32 am #
Hi Drew,
Are the 5 pound incremental increases every workout a reccomendation for beginning trainees only?
Shirl August 29, 2014 at 9:09 am #
I read your article and in part agree with some of the sensible approaches you recommend for seniors like gradually working your way up in strength. I also agree that a lot of so called senior trainers have no idea what they are doing. I am a certified trainer who disagree that people can do the correct exercises on their on. One important job for trainers is to motivate their clients. Many people need help with motivation or we would not have so many couch potatoes. We all need guidance in life or you would not be writing this article.
Secondly, people who train themselves do not understand muscle groups and the importance of working all of them to prevent injuries by over and under working them. Another good reason for trainers is to help seniors with basic functional movements. And my list can go on and on for why seniors need trainers. Unfortunately there are poorly educated trainers just like there are poor doctors and lawyers. The key is to find trainers that care, continuously educate themselves, are creative with designing client specific programs, and who are not ripping senior off. As a senior who train seniors, I know what seniors need to improve and maintain fitness using common sense exercise programs that is age correlated. I hate it when others characterize personal trainers in general as somewhat useless.
josef April 25, 2015 at 7:43 pm #
Is there any reason why a senior (or anybody actually) should not exercise using sets of five reps.
Hey Mike,
The volume and frequency of workouts has to be balanced against the demands of other physical activities and stresses so someone who has a demanding physical job may need to reduce the volume of their workouts and get more rest days in between. For more on this read The Suntan Analogy.

The Xumishan ("Xumi Mountain") Grottoes lie on the eastern side of Mount Xumi in Guyuan County of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, some 50 kilometers south of the village (county town) of Guyuan and some 300 kilometers south of the city of Yinchuan. There are more than 100 grottoes in the mountain, all of which are collectively called the "Xumishan Grottoes". "Xumi" is the transliteration of a Sanskrit word meaning "treasure mountain" ("shan" itself means "mountain" in Chinese).
On Mount Xumi there are peaks atop peaks, craggy, bizarrely-formed boulders strewn here and there, and thatches of very tall, very straight pine trees. There are also some parts of the mountain – especially the rounded, time-hewn sandstone area where most of the grottoes are located – that are completely bald, i.e., devoid not only of vegetation, but of soil. In sum, the mountain presents landscapes that are both uniquely beautiful, and strange.
The Xumishan Grottoes date mainly from the Northern (CE 386-588) Dynasties period of the Southern and Northern (CE 386-588) Dynasties era, though further grottoes were added during the course of subsequent dynasties. The locale on the mountain where the first grottoes were chiseled was formerly a giant Buddhist temple (Jingyun Temple) during the Tang (CE 618-907) Dynasty. Decades later, during the first reign (CE 1436-1449) of Emperor Zhengtong of the Ming (CE 1368-1644) Dynasty, the temple was renamed "Yuanguang Temple". There are still grottoes in the Yuanguang Temple area, as well as a number of other grottoes in other areas on the mountain. Yuanguang Temple is one of the more prominent scenic sites within Xumishan Grottoes Scenic Area.
The first grottoes of Mount Xumi were initially chiseled during the middle to late period of the Northern Wei (CE 386-533) Dynasty. Unfortunately, years of neglect that has permitted a natural deterioration of the grottoes (primarily a deterioration of the state of the stone figures within the grottoes), due mainly to wind and rain erosion as well as to earthquakes – combined with some destruction at the hand of man – have taken their toll on the grottoes of Xumishan.
Today there are hardly more than 20 grottoes with well-preserved contents on the mountain, most of which are located in the five scenic sites of Dafo Tower, Taohua Cave, Xiangguo Temple, Yuanguang Temple, and Zisun Palace. Among all the remaining grottoes of Xumishan with well-preserved contents, grottoes nos. 45 and 46 have fared best, with the largest number of intact stone statues (more than 40 such statues). In addition, although grotto no. 51 was somewhat damaged by earthquake, it remains one of the grottoes with the largest number of intact statues.
Wind and rain erosion have also taken their toll on the grottoes themselves, though the general shape of the grotto can still be seen, revealing a vestibule, or anteroom, a main room, and two smaller rooms, one on either side of the main room. The main room has a width of 26 meters, a depth of roughly 12 meters, and a height of slightly more than 12 meters. There are three statues in the shrine of the main room: a Buddha statue and two Bodhisattva statues. In the adjacent altar are three more Buddha statues.
Many of the statues of the best-preserved grottoes are in excellent condition, being artistic rarities among all the stone statues throughout China. The grottoes of Xumishan are known the world over, as are the grottoes of Dunhuang, Yungang, and Longmen, for their precious religious and cultural heritage, not only to the Chinese people, but to all mankind. The government of China therefore took the decision in 1982 to offer the grottoes of Xumishan official recognition as one of the country's Top-Priority National Protected Historical Sites. In 2008, Xumishan Grottoes was put on the World Monuments Watch List of 100 Most Endangered Sites (World Monuments Watch is an organ of the NGO, World Monuments Fund).
Solo Adventure Tips:
(See the opening paragraph above.)
How to Get There?
From the town of Guyuan, you can take a regular bus to Sanying Town (the trip takes about an hour and costs 3.5 yuan per person). From the main intersection in Sanying Town (a small village), there are buses that will take you on to Xumishan Mountain and the grottoes. Also this ride takes about an hour and costs 5 yuan. However, during the slack season, visitors can only get to the grottoes by means of a chartered minivan from Sanying Town, which costs 20 yuan per person as a basic price, but larger parties can always bargain with the driver for a better price.
Ticket Price:
20 yuan per person.
Opening Hours:
From 8:00AM to 6:00PM.

ACIM Healing Workshop - 9/15
Saturdays, Sept 8 & 15, 2012 from 1 - 4 pm
Led by Katherine Abegg
$85 for both sessions ($75 if you register by Sept 7)
Register here!
As a student of A Course In Miracles here at CRS over the past seven years, the most common question I have heard students voice is: "How?"..."How can I offer healing?"; "What if the person is not present?"; "What does is mean to practice?"
Join us for this experiential healing workshop in which we will think about these questions together. We will discuss and practice simple tools to assist in the application of healing as it is defined in A Course In Miracles. Each day we will begin with a guided meditation. Students can then work with one another to explore and gain confidence in their power to heal and to extend forgiveness.
The goal of this workshop is to experience healing, train the mind to recognize and accept that feeling, and to carry that feeling out of the classroom and into the world.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

This photo is a resubmit after being rejected for poor contrast and being under-sharpened. What's really confusing/concerning is the latest review says "Poor light affecting quality". I'm not quite sure how to interpret this, i.e. will the photo never be good enough because of the lighting...and if so, why is it being pointed out on the resubmit and the initial submission? Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

Incentives Demoralizes Professional Activity
Posted By Jim On 03/14/2009 @ 3:40 pm In Business | 9 Comments
"Excessive reliance on incentives demoralizes professional activity."
That's a quote from a TED.com [3] video I watched this week in which Barry Schwartz, Dorwin Cartwright Professor of Social Theory and social action at Swarthmore College and frequent contributor to the New York Times, calls for discusses how our society has gone mad with an abrupt loss of "practical wisdom" in the face of bureacracy, the failure of incentives, and rules often protect us from disaster but ensure mediocrity.
The whole video is worth watching but at around the twelfth minute, Barry Schwartz starts talking about the problem with incentives. A neighborhood was surveyed about the dangers of a toxic waste dump. When asked if they would agree to having a toxic waste dump located in their neighborhood, 50% agreed. They didn't like the idea but they knew it had to go somewhere and they accepted that. When they another neighborhood was polled and given the incentive of six weeks of pay, only 25% agreed.
Why the difference? By adding the incentive of money (six weeks of pay), the decision stopped being about moral obligation (the dump has to go somewhere, here is as good as any other and we feel obligated to have it) and more about personal benefit and having a toxic waste dump is probably not worth six weeks of pay!
Talks Barry Schwartz: The real crisis? We stopped being wise:
If you have another twenty minutes after this video, I highly recommend watching The paradox of choice [4], another TED presentation in which he talks about the paradox of choice (how too many choices paralyzes us), the topic of his book by the same name.

I have to say you're getting some nice results there Emkay. Pictures tend to be spoiled by the horizontal banding, but I see hardly any in your latest efforts.
It's still Ilmenit's program
But it still can be optimized. What really has to be removed is the "brightness search in cost of colours", which causes the banding to get more visual. For now, the solution is to adjust the colour's levels. With C64 pictures it is rather easy, because they are already close and only 16 of them. While in "real color" pictures the amount of usable colours can vary every scanline.
Depending on the image, 80-90 colours should be possible with some slight banding.

July 1, 2010 - Zürich, Switzerland
From Chemistry International, July 1, 2010, vol. 32, no. 4
by Javier Garcia-Martinez
This generation is totally into the web. In the USA, an astonishing 96 percent of students who have online access report that they have used social networking technologies. Fairly new technologies, such as chatting, text messaging, blogging, Facebook, and MySpace, are part of the daily lives of the kids who fill our classes. And it's not all about sharing music or organizing a plan for next weekend. Nearly 60 percent of our students use social networking to discuss education-related topics, and more than 50 percent specifically discuss schoolwork to support their education. . . .
Additionally, professional chemical associations such as the American Chemical Society (ACS) or the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) have created a wonderful set of web 2.0 initiatives. On 15 March 2010, the ACS Mobile Application "ACS Mobile" became available on Apple's iTunes store. The new application provides readers with a live stream of peer-reviewed research content from across the spectrum of ACS journals right in their cell phones. More recently, Molecule of the Week, a popular feature on the ACS website since 2001, has been launched as a Mobile App. A new molecule is delivered to subscribers' iPhones each week for them to guess what each molecule is, based on an image and the clue supplied.
Both the ACS and its flagship journal, the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) are now on Facebook, both with thousands of followers. These sites are regularly used to announce events, hold discussions, and provide breaking news, making them probably the fastest and most up-to-the-minute way to know what is going on in chemistry. But there is much more, the JACS beta site is a truly web 2.0 experience, with podcasts, mobile applications, and online interviews about new chemical discoveries, published weekly.
The Royal Society of Chemistry also has a wonderful set of web 2.0 initiatives, like the RSC and Chemistry World blogs. Personally, I am a big fan of its podcast on the chemical elements, Chemistry in Its Element, as I am of Distillations, the "extracts from the past, present, and future of chemistry" from the Chemical Heritage Foundation. . . .

America's Most Endangered Rivers for 2013: Boundary Waters
At Risk: Recreation economy, drinking water, and wilderness
Threat: Copper and nickel mining
The 1.1 million-acre Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is the most popular wilderness area in the country. The South Kawishiwi River, which flows into the Boundary Waters, is threatened by copper-nickel mining proposals by Twin Metals Minnesota and others on adjacent unprotected public lands.
If mining is permitted, the Boundary Waters and its clean water will be irreparably harmed by acid mine drainage containing sulfates and heavy metals. President Obama, Congress, and Minnesota's Governor Dayton must block proposals to mine and efforts to weaken water quality standards in this sensitive and well-loved area.
The Threat
The Boundary Waters is endangered by a proposal to create a massive copper-nickel mine adjacent to the South Kawishiwi River and within two miles of the Boundary Waters. The Boundary Waters watershed is also negatively impacted by extensive exploration for additional mine sites. If copper-nickel mines are developed, polluted waters from the South Kawishiwi will flow through some of the most popular Boundary Waters lakes, including the iconic Basswood.
According to the EPA (Toxic Release Inventory: 2010 National Analysis), hardrock mining produces more releases of toxic materials than any other industry. Approximately 99% of the rock extracted in the proposed mine will be waste. When this waste rock interacts with water and air, sulfuric acid and toxic metals will be released. Similar mines throughout America generate hundreds of millions of gallons of acid mine drainage and will require active water treatment for thousands of years to avoid complete destruction of streams and groundwater.
With the Boundary Waters and Superior National Forest as a magnet, vibrant local economies have developed in Ely, Grand Marais, and other communities around the Wilderness. Large numbers of vacation home owners, retirees, and quality-of-life residents provide an economic and tax base for the area. Scores of diverse businesses thrive because of the economic activity generated by tourism and residents attracted to the region. Poisoning of the Boundary Waters would drastically, if not fatally, undermine these thriving local economies.
What Must Be Done
This year, Congress may consider an exchange of Superior National Forest lands with state lands for the purpose of promoting copper-nickel mining. The State of Minnesota will auction mineral leases on lands within the watershed of the Boundary Waters, and efforts to challenge state and federal water quality regulations will intensify. These actions will advance the development of sulfide mines and lead to more mineral exploration and mining pollution within the Boundary Waters watershed. Recent polls in Minnesota have revealed a growing concern among the public. The Boundary Waters ecosystem with its network of lakes, streams, and forests is a high-risk location for a copper-nickel mine. This is an area where sulfide mining pollution is unacceptable.
President Obama, Congress, and Minnesota's Governor Dayton must oppose the development of the massive Twin Metals Minnesota mine, all land exchanges intended to turn over public lands to mining companies, and state mineral leasing within the Boundary Waters watershed. Further, they must defend a healthy Boundary Waters region by strengthening and enforcing Minnesota and federal water quality regulations and expanding mining protection zones around the Boundary Waters.

If September and October can still be considered the fallow season after blockbusters like "Taken 2" and "Argo," and critically acclaimed films like "The Master," that fallow season is certainly over. The box office saw a huge upswing last weekend with "Wreck-It Ralph" and "Flight," and that's set to continue through Christmas, with tentpoles and awards hopefuls arriving every single week. To help you sort the wheat from the chaff, we've put together a list of the 10 best films to see over the rest of November. Check it out below, and let us know what you're looking forward to most.
Synopsis: In his final months in office, President Abraham Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis) attempts to bring a lasting piece to the nation as the Civil War comes to a close, while simultaneously attempting to push an amendment abolishing slavery for good.
What You Need To Know: As we write, voting for the 2012 presidential election is underway, and still on a knife-edge, so it's appropriate that America's most beloved filmmaker is launching his depiction of a divided nation brought together by one man only a few days later. Whether the film will serve as a salve or salt in the wound will depend on the outcome (and on who you voted for, obviously). But given that Steven Spielberg's film sees him reunite with Tony Kushner, writer of his best film of the last couple of decades in "Munich," and sees Daniel Day-Lewis don top hat and beard to play Abe, ahead of a frankly extraordinary cast that also includes an Oscar-tipped Tommy Lee Jones, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sally Field, David Strathairn, James Spader, Hal Holbrook and pretty much everyone else you could want to see in a movie like this, we're looking forward to it regardless of how things turn out with the electoral college. The Playlist head honcho caught the NYFF sneak preview of the film in September, and found a lot to like saying it's "characterized by refreshing restraint, its passionate convictions and patience," with a "forceful, but nicely muted performance by Daniel Day-Lewis." "Solemn, well-controlled and moving with a dignified air of grace," it avoids Spielberg's more sentimental side, but perhaps too much so. He found it "not exactly the most engaging nor well-paced picture either" with a procedural nature "that can be tedious and trying." So it sounds like political buffs will be in for a good time, but it may be a harder sell for others. Either way, it's still likely to be a must-see for many film fans.
When: Limited release this Friday, November 9th, before going wide next week, on November 16th
Synopsis: Believed to be killed during a mission, James Bond (Daniel Craig) resurfaces to protect MI6 boss M (Judi Dench) from a terrifying new threat.
What You Need To Know: By the time "Skyfall" hits theaters in the U.S on Friday, it'll almost feel like old news. Screened for press almost a month ago, the film was released in much of the rest of the world two weeks ago, and has gone on to break records ever since. It's already on course to potentially beat "Avatar" as the biggest grossing film in the U.K., and has made a quarter-of-a-billion dollars worldwide to date. More importantly, the 23rd Bond film, directed by Oscar-winning helmer Sam Mendes, and featuring talent like Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris, has already been widely acclaimed as perhaps one of the best blockbusters of the year, and the finest Bond entry to date. While I wouldn't quite go that far -- finding the action a little lacking in spots, and the film dragging in its third act -- I still had a terrific time with Mendes' film. Undoubtedly the best-looking Bond picture to date thanks to Roger Deakins' lensing, with an emotional depth that's almost unprecedented for the series, and a hall-of-fame villain in the shape of Bardem, it's undoubtedly a sophisticated and textured reinvention for the series, and a firm return to form for Craig after the disappointment of "Quantum of Solace." Some of the Playlist team have been a little cooler on the picture, but most should find something to enjoy.
When? November 9th
Synopsis: In 19th century Russia, Anna (Keira Knightley) is drawn away from her life with politician Karenin (Jude Law) after falling for Count Vronsky, a young soldier (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), while her brother's friend Levin (Domhnall Gleeson) falls for Kitty (Alicia Vikander), who is in love with Vronsky.
What You Need To Know: When it was announced that "Pride & Prejudice" and "Atonement" duo Keira Knightley and Joe Wright were reteaming for a new take on Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina," many dismissed it sight unseen. Another boring period drama designed as Oscar bait. But, while it's proven to be very divisive critically, in the eyes of many Playlisters, "Anna Karenina" turned out to be a surprising and hugely cinematic take on the classic tale. By setting his version in a rundown Russian theater, and breaking away almost entirely from naturalism, Wright's film "begins to feel more like the bold, technicolor work of Powell & Pressburger more than anything else," according to our review, and the result is something that "looks truly stunning," while "crucially, the artifice doesn't overwhelm the performances, or the narrative." And while the leads are strong, especially Jude Law, the real delights are to be found in the supporting performances from Alicia Vikander, Matthew Macfadyen and Domhnall Gleeson. It's not a complete triumph; Aaron Taylor-Johnson feels like the weak link, and Wright's conceit proves a little porous in places. But it's a film that's stuck with us, and is likely to end up among our favorites of the year.
When? November 16th in limited release
Synopsis: Based on the book by Matthew Quick, the story centers a former high school teacher who, after being released from a four-year stint in a mental institution, moves back in with his parents, then seeks to reinvent himself, finding the titular silver linings in his life.
What You Need To Know: Depending on your feelings on the divisive "I Heart Huckabees" (we're fans, ourselves), an argument could be made that David O. Russell has never made a bad film. And yet, somehow, we weren't quite won over in advance by "Silver Linings Playbook," which was sold as a decent-looking but unexceptional rom-com. But as if to demonstrate that we should always give Russell the benefit of the doubt, the film became an instant smash when it premiered at TIFF, with our Kevin Jagernauth one of the many who fell head over heels for it at the festival. Calling it "an enormously entertaining, crowd-pleasing winner from the director whose comedic edge has never been sharper," and saying that leads Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence give "career best, awards-worthy performances." It's both "a big broad comedy" and "a unique and involving tale of two outsiders who together find a way to get on with life after it has dealt them some bad hands." It remains to be seen if it's the big Oscar heavyweight many have predicted, but it looks pretty likely to be a huge hit with audiences either way.
When? November 16th in limited release, going wide on November 21st
5. "Life of Pi"
Synopsis: After a harrowing shipwreck, young Pi Patel finds himself adrift in the Pacific Ocean, trapped on a 26-foot lifeboat in shark-infested waters with a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker.
What You Need To Know: In the works for years, with a variety of different directors all kicking it around at various points -- Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Alfonso Cuarón and M. Night Shyamalan among them -- the best-selling "Life of Pi" is finally on its way to the big screen, in 3D no less. And it sounds like after the disappointment of "Taking Woodstock," Ang Lee has rebounded in a big way with the extra dimension, with the film becoming an instant Oscar contender when it premiered by opening the New York Film Festival at the end of September. And we were certainly on board the praise train, calling it an "inspiring and visually stunning tale of faith, hope and self-discovery" in our review. Calling it "a visual marvel" which places "character, soul and emotion paramount in its mind over pyrotechnics," we found the film to be soulful, exceptionally made and resonant. But, there are some issues. It's a little sluggish in the first act and risks platitudes in places, but for the most part "Lee goes beyond clichés with a curious, warm and wondrously beatific approach to the 'letting go' philosophy that reverberates."
When? November 21st

The Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) is advising all current and former patients of a York County dentist they might be at risk for infection after an investigation discovered the dental facility did not follow appropriate infection control procedures.
To date, the investigation has found Dr. Jacqueline A. Marcin did not properly clean, disinfect or sterilize devices at her dental office, located at 1820 E. Market St., York, Pa.
The departments of Health and State conducted a joint, unannounced site visit of Dr. Marcin's dental practice on April 24. The Pennsylvania State Board of Dentistry temporarily suspended Dr. Marcin's dental license on April 29.
Currently, DOH has not received any related reports of diseases or illnesses being spread to or among patients of Dr. Marcin. Out of an abundance of caution – and to ensure the wellbeing of the public – DOH is recommending current or former patients of Dr. Marcin get tested for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Additional information regarding this investigation can be found by clicking on the tabs below. DOH will continue to update this webpage with important information and keep the public informed as this investigation continues.

It's probably too late to respond to this thread but, on the Blazer, you need to remove the inside upholstry panel from the tail gate to access the panel. You may have already tried this but, you can shove (closed) on the gate while turning the key, some times the latch(s) bind when they get crud in them. Hope this helps.
more details please, does your tailgate open with a button?
Can you hear something moving when you push it? (if you have the button)
