"Monitors say Washington State is starting the new year with much better snowpack levels than in previous years. The Capital Press reports that mountain snowpack was at 110 percent of normal as of Friday, compared to two years ago when several regions in the state were well below 100 percent.
Scott Pattee with the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Mount Vernon attributes this year's healthy snowpack to cooler temperatures and above normal precipitation."

The Place of Tomorrow: diving in Belize
The Maldives are the picture postcard of paradise. Golden sand islands and atolls scattered like shining pebbles in the big blue of the Indian Ocean. It is beautiful island life as imagined by a starry-eyed romantic, but real. Surrounded by shallow waters, The Maldives have drawn divers from all over the world to explore its crystal clear waters, its tropical fish, and its multi-colored, protected coral reefs. But with the divers and honeymooners exploring this miraculous paradise has come a degree of commercialization, chain hotels and throngs of diving tours; beautiful it may be, but this is no longer a secret escape for diving.
We needed to find somewhere new, but without compromising the sheer beauty and eclectic dreamscapes of the underwater kingdoms we so love in The Maldives. Where is tomorrow's undiscovered diving gem? We found it, and it's called Belize.
The unspoiled, tropical coastline of Belize has a new world of diving discoveries, and there's no waiting in line to explore the treasures here. With a barrier reef second only in size to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, it's believed there are thousands of species of fish and coral here. No one knows how many, because 90% of the reef is yet to be fully explored. That's how undiscovered Belize is.
Taking a boat out onto the ocean, you could find isolated cays and colorful coral, rare species of fish and dazzling deep water dives to uncover the secrets hiding still undiscovered in the ocean. Belize brims not with tourists, but with its own untouched, unspoiled version of paradise. As well as diving the coral reefs and discovering the aquatic life living amongst it, Belize's golden beaches, palm-fringed landscapes and dense inland jungle provide us with a land to be explored, as well as the ocean.
Today people may think The Maldives is the ultimate diving destination, but tomorrow it is Belize; we know where we will be when we next dive under the waves in search of a new and exciting underwater world.

The new inhabitants at the state women's prison in Jessup frolic with each other, bathe outdoors and sometimes bark at night.
Alexis, Bailey, Camry, Dottie and Hunny are Labrador retriever puppies. They're being raised by inmates at the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women with the hope that the dogs will become guides for the blind.
The four 12-week-old goldens and one 16-week-old chocolate spend their time eating, sleeping, working and playing with their inmate handlers, who teach them basic commands and get them used to being with people in different settings.

We have just returned from 2 weeks at Karen's villa and we have all thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The villa itself was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Our 3 children loved the pool and spent most of the day playing in it as the water was so lovely and warm in the hot August weather. The village itself is small but there are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from - we particularly found Pasha's restaurant very welcoming with excellent food and very friendly service. Overall we never had a bad meal in Turunc. The local agents were very helpful in organising trips for us - the Dalyan/Turtle beach trip, in particular, was a lovely day out. We will definitely come back to Turunc and Karen's villa.

#distance education degree
Distance Education University Degrees and Career Education
Online undergraduate and graduate degree programs can help prepare students for career advancement or career changes. Online degrees are available at many universities and colleges throughout the country.
Distance Career Education Options
Many universities and colleges offer distance education degree programs geared towards working professionals who want to enhance their careers without interrupting them. In these programs, students can complete degree requirements online without taking time off from their jobs. Many online undergraduate and graduate degrees can be earned completely online, while others require attending some on-campus group sessions, classes, orientations or tests. Students communicate with instructors by e-mail, videoconferencing and telephone.
Associate's Degrees
Online associate's degree programs typically focus on specific professions and prepare students for entry-level positions. Distance education associate's degree programs include dental hygienist technology, paralegal studies, diagnostic medical sonography, graphic design, information technology and medical assistant. Students can earn online associate's degrees in one to two years.
Bachelor's Degrees
Online bachelor's degree programs offer career education in several areas, including business, nursing, accounting and criminal justice. Adult students who have enough undergraduate credits can find accelerated online programs that can be completed in about two years or less. These programs can prepare students for a range of possible jobs or specific positions. For example, an employee who has completed a degree in business may work in sales, management, accounting, operations or become an entrepreneur.
Master's Degrees
Many working professionals with bachelor's degrees can earn online master's degrees to improve their opportunities for advancement and to acquire additional knowledge and skills. For example, public school teachers pursue distance education master's degrees in areas such as instructional design and education administration to earn a higher salary and to qualify for administrative posts. Other online master's degrees include those in business, health administration and psychology.
Doctoral Degrees
Students who want to become university professors and researchers may want to earn online doctoral degrees. These programs are convenient for those who want to earn a doctorate in an academic discipline that isn't offered by a local university or college. Popular Ph.D. distance education programs include engineering, psychology and law.
The requirements for online Ph.D. programs are similar to those of traditional doctoral programs, and include a dissertation, exams and a specific number of course credits. These programs may require face-to-face meetings with professors.

I couldn't find any posts comparing the two camera sensors, sorry if it has been discussed previously!
I'm looking to purchase either a G7x (either mki or ii) or a G1x mkii. I want a decent compact camera for work purposes. I work in the middle east in the oil industry and DSLRs are often banned.
I already have a G7x (mki) but I want to leave it at home for family use and want a second compact camera to leave in the office. I am not interested in other brands and the general specs of the G7x and G1x mk ii both meet my needs.
I am trying to quantify the benefits of the G1x mkii 1.5" 12MP sensor over the G7x 1" 20MP sensor. My photos are usually taken in daylight on moving structures so lowlight capability not an issue and always taken handheld (due to movement/machinery vibration) so faster shutter speeds are usually required.
The other factor is the G1x mkii is available at a lower cost of the G7x on the UK market and I am considering to purchase second-hand.
I've seen some online reviews that indicate for the type of photography I will be undertaking that there is not much benefit to the larger sensor/ lower MP of the G1x mkii vs the smaller sensor/higher MP of the G7x.
Also, whilst not a deal-breaker, I do like the compactness of the G7x. It is what I consider "pocketable" but I can live with the slightly bigger lens housing of the G1x mkii.
What do you think? Would the G1x mkii sensor be better than the G7x? Thanks in advance!

Mesilla Valley Transportation Chooses TCG for Profitability Management
ROCKVILLE, MD. – March 18, 2014 –
Transportation Costing Group (TCG), providers of Activity-Based Costing and Profitability Management Tools
for truckload and less-than-truckload motor carriers, today announced that Mesilla Valley Transportation has chosen and implemented its Truckload Cost Information System (TL/CIS) to develop more effective profitability analyses.
"We chose TL/CIS over other options because this system gives us a fully costed and highly detailed database of our shipments that allows us to create reports in a format we want," said Scott Webb, an executive at Mesilla Valley Transportation. "One of the first things we did with the TCG solution was to analyze the spot quotes we are providing our customers. Our planners used the TCG data to pick the three least profitable spot quoted lanes in their areas and renegotiated a change in rates. That one exercise not only paid for the TL/CIS system but also made a very substantial difference to our bottom line."
"To be innovative we need to work with vendors that are dedicated to helping us improve our operation," Webb added. "As our partner, TCG has become part of our approach to getting everyone involved, giving them information they need and empowering them to make better decisions."
For Mesilla Valley Transportation, TCG enabled actual costed data from TL/CIS to be uploaded to the carrier's data warehouse and accessed using Excel PivotTable reports that are familiar to the company's staff and its IT department. "That extends the value of the TL/CIS activity-based costing system," Webb explained, "by allowing users to analyze profitability based on numerous factors, such as individual loads, lanes and trips, drivers, customer service representatives, freight type, and equipment, among others."
"Mesilla Valley Transportation has a very specific approach to using our TL/CIS solution and is using the costed database in a unique and important way," said Jack Jones, vice president of Truckload Product Development at Transportation Costing Group. "By providing access to over 100 members of their staff and establishing expectations for each group in very tangible terms, they are measurably and quickly improving profitability. Working with such an innovative fleet has been a great experience for us. Working together and based on their ingenuity we've made improvements to our product. It was a team effort with winning results for everyone. Mesilla Valley's experience demonstrated not only the value but also the flexibility of TL/CIS in adopting to their specific needs."
Mesilla Valley Transportation, based in Las Cruces, New Mexico, has been helping customers address their transportation challenges to, from and through the southern border of the United States since the company's founding by Royal Jones and Jimmy Ray in 1981. The company's 1,200 industry-leading, fuel-efficient power units are complemented by robust intermodal and brokerage solutions as well as a partnership with Hispanic, woman-owned Verde Logistics, which helps customers interested in diversifying their supplier base.

2-D vs 2½-D Terrain Visualization Study
Do we make choose better routes through terrain when we have a overhead, 2-dimensional view with a symbolic representation of the elevations, or when we have a 2½-D view (often called "3D") that we can rotate, pan and see the actual height of the terrain?
I conducted a study in the spring of 2009 to examine whether a user could plot a shorter route through mountainous terrain using an overhead, 2-D view or a "3D" 2½-D view. Although 2½-D tools, such as Google Earth, have become extremely popular over the past few years, there has been little research on how well users can perform with these types of 2½D tools. If we understand which visualization provides the most efficient way for humans to interpret and plan routes through difficult terrain, we can develop better mapping and path-planning tools.
Conducting a literature review, previous research has clearly shown that 2-D views are better than fixed 2½-D views. This is an intuitive finding – a fixed 2½-D view of terrain will obscure some areas and misrepresent others to the user. However, no research had been conducted on comparing a 2-D view to a 2½-D view where the user could pan, rotate and zoom the views as needed.
Our hypothesis was that with more advanced interface tools, novice users would perform better (shorter routes, fewer waypoints and constructed faster) with a 2½-D tool than a 2-D tool. This follows the intuition that novice users can intuitively understand a 2½-D map better than the symbolic, topographic, representation of terrain on a overhead 2-D map.
To test this hypothesis, I constructed a Ruby on Rails application which performed a partially-crossed, randomized 2×2 factor study. Participants were randomly distributed into an even set of testing "blocks." There were four blocks, comprised of two different factors: 2 types of terrain and the 2 types of map visualizations This allowed us to easily run many participants through the experiment with a minimal time investment on our part.
Consistency between the visualizations was important, as to eliminate any variability in performance due to different interfaces, terrain data, etc. Therefore, I designed two interfaces, built on top of Google Maps and Google Earth, which presented the exact same interface for both types of visualizations.
With 42 participants recruited from the MIT community, we found that users performed better overall using the 2-D tool than the 2½-D tool. In many cases though, we observed interaction effects between the tools, indicating no solid statistical difference could be inferred. This result may be due to users not fully using the 2½-D tool's panning and rotating features, in which case the users were essentially using a fixed 2½-D visualization, which would be consisten with previous research. Currently, a second study is in progress which will specifically examine participants use of panning and rotating with a 2½-D tool.

DB Benchmarking
As database professionals, we have a need to benchmark performance of the database, processes, and essentially overall performance. When benchmarking, it is preferable to get a baseline and then run the same benchmark tests on a periodic basis and compare those results to the baseline.
Recently I was reminded of a couple of tools that should be in every DB Professionals vocabulary and tool set. Each one is used for a different purpose. Those tools are:
CPU-Z is a freeware app that helps you gather information about motherboard, CPU, and memory. It helps you to determine processor usage and if you are running your hardware at an optimal level.
TPC-E simulates the OLTP workload. It is designed to be representative of OLTP systems and is scalable.
Both of these tools can be of great use to the database professional. Check them out and see what you can learn by using them.

Thanks SQLRnnr. This is an important topic that is often overlooked.
Kevin Kline has a pretty good book on the subject. It's largely focused on Quest's Benchmark Factory product, but you can glean quite a bit of good general purpose info from it too. http://amzn.to/dRdXTI

Singer/Songwriter, who over the past 10 years have been crossing borders in western and eastern music. Moving to Iran in early 2003 he stayed and lived there until 2007.

The album " 'Twas the grape" is the result of a long time project that Henrik started back in 2004 when he lived and worked in Iran.

text: ABOUT PENGUIN Google Penguin is a code name for a Google algorithm update that was first announced on April 24, 2012. The update is aimed at decreasing search engine rankings of websites that violate Google's Webmaster Guidelines by using now declared black-hat SEO techniques involved in increasing artificially the ranking of a webpage by manipulating the number of links pointing to the page. Such tactics are commonly described as link schemes. According to Google's John Mueller, Google has announced all updates to the Penguin filter to the public. A Google representative has confirmed what has been the subject of much speculation over the weekend — a Penguin 3.0 update was rolled out on Friday. This marks the first update to the Penguin algorithm in over a year. On October 9th at Pubcon Las Vegas, Bruce Clay stated during one of his sessions on link building that sources led him to believe that a Penguin update would be coming within the next 10 days. Less than 10 days later a Penguin update was rolled out, so how's that for a prediction! Google hasn't yet given more details on the percentage of search results the latest version of Penguin has impacted or if there were any major changes made to it since the last release.

One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has been drafted in to help music mogul Simon Cowell rate contestants on Britain's The X Factor.
The expectant father, who was a hot favorite to become a fully-fledged judge on the 2015 series, will join Cowell at a French chateau this month (Oct15) to help him decide which contestants to send through to the live show stage of the competition.
Louis, who found fame on The X Factor in 2010, previously expressed an interest in working on the show when One Direction take a break next year (16).
"I'd love to judge but as it stands we're working on this next record and we've got to sort that out, so until I've done that I'll wait and see," Louis told British radio station Key 103.
"It's always been a side of the work that's really interested me and The X Factor in particular, you can't deny the opportunity that it gave to us boys and for that reason I'll always be fascinated with the process and the chances it can give to people."
Meghan Trainor will assist Rita Ora in Los Angeles, British newcomer Jess Glynne will be with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini in Italy, and Mark Ronson will judge alongside radio DJ Nick Grimshaw in Manchester, England.

SHARON HUNTER, ET AL., PLAINTIFFS,v.DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: John M. Facciola United States Magistrate Judge
This is an action by the mother of a 14 year old child ("T.H.") who complains that her son was determined to be in need of special education by the District of Columbia Public Schools ("DCPS") but has not been provided with the Free Appropriate Public Education ("FAPE") required by the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1415.*fn1
The first paragraph of the complaint states:
This Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act, 20 U.S.C. §§1415 et seq., (herein IDEA); the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 [IDEA], P.L. 108-446; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ("Section 504"); 29 U.S.C. §794; 42 U.S.C. §1983; 28 U.S.C. §§1331 and 1343. Declaratory relief is authorized by 28 U.S.C. §§2201 and 2202.
Complaint, ¶ 1.
There is no further reference to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 or to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 in the complaint. Additionally, plaintiff has now moved for summary judgment and her motion papers do not contain any such references either. She certainly does not contend that there is no genuine issue of material fact and that she is entitled to relief as matter of law under either 42 U.S.C. § 1983 or the Rehabilitation Act. Understandably, defendant moves to dismiss claims based on these two statutes for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
The judges of this Court have held that an IDEA violation can be the predicate for a § 1983 claim, but have insisted that plaintiff also show that the District's violation was persistently egregious and prevented the plaintiff from seeking equitable relief under the IDEA. Hinson v. Merritt Educ. Ctr., 521 F. Supp. 2d 22, 28 (D.D.C. 2007); Savoy-Kelly v. E. High Sch., No. 04-CV-1751, 2006 WL 1000346, at *4 (D.D.C. April 14, 2006); R.S. v. D.C., 292 F. Supp. 2d 23, 28 (D.D.C. 2003); Walker v. D.C., 157 F. Supp. 2d 11, 30 (D.D.C. 2001).*fn2
Similarly, while an IDEA violation may serve as the premise of the claim under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, 29 U.S.C. § 794,*fn3 a plaintiff must show something more than a failure to provide FAPE. Instead, there must be a showing of bad faith or gross misjudgment. Hinson, 521 F. Supp. 2d at 30 (quoting Walker, 157 F. Supp. 2d at 35-36) (gross departure from accepted standards among educational professionals). Accord T.T. v. D.C., No. 06-CV-0207, 2007 WL 2111032, at *10 (D.D.C. July 23, 2007).
While the precise contours of the Supreme Court's seminal decision in Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. 1955 (2007), are still in the process of being defined, it is clear that mere references to statutes in a complaint without any allegations as to how these statutes were violated cannot meet even Rule 8's liberal requirement of "a short and plain statement of the claim showing the pleader is entitled to relief." Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2). In Twombly, the Supreme Court stated that, while a complaint need not contain detailed factual allegations, "a plaintiff's [Rule 8] obligation to provide the 'grounds' of his 'entitle[ment] to relief' requires more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of a cause of action's elements will not do." 127 S.Ct. at 1964-65 (internal citations omitted). The Court then went on to explain that Rule 8 "requires a 'showing,' rather than a blanket assertion of entitlement to relief." Id. at 1965 n.3.
By that standard, references to statutes with nothing more cannot possibly state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Since plaintiff does not articulate any facts whatsoever supporting her claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Rehabilitation Act, those claims must be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

Coffee is one of the sweetest beverages for many people, especially if it is brewed to perfection. However, apart from being a yummy drink, it also offers a number of health benefits and there is every reason why one should drink it every day. If you would like to drink a few cups of coffee each day, one of the most affordable ways to do it is by brewing for yourself at home. You can get your own a coffee maker but before doing it, always have a look at different coffee maker reviews to know which one best serves your needs while making your work convenient. This said, we shall be looking at a few reasons as to why you should drink coffee every day and help you get the best out of this drink. Here are 5 reasons why: -
It's a Good Mood Enhancer
Caffeine in the coffee has been proven to be good in increasing dopamine, a chemical which is produced in the brain. This chemical is basically known as a "feel good" chemical and as such, imbibing a few cups of coffee every day will help you feel less depressed and much happier. In fact, a cup of coffee early in the morning or after work will go a long way in improving your mood and keeping you happy.
It Consists Of Some Amazing Nutrients
Coffee is a good source of the much needed nutrients to the body. Some of the nutrients found in the body include manganese, Vitamins B5, B3 and B2, Potassium and magnesium. Amazingly, coffee is also a good source of antioxidants which your body requires in order to fight destructive free radicals responsible for different diseases including cancer.
It's a Good Metabolism Booster
Drinking coffee regularly can greatly help improve your metabolism especially if you are seeking to lose a little bit of weight. Due to the presence of caffeine, drinking coffee will come in handy as it helps the body to burn fat, no wonder you find this substance in almost every weight loss or fat burning supplement. However, it's worth noting that coffee works well in combination with your fitness regime and it's not a replacement of the same.
It's A Good Psychoactive Stimulant
The caffeine found in coffee is definitely a good psychoactive stimulant which means it has an effect on your brain. First all, the caffeine is absorbed into the body system and then transported to the brain where it blocks Adenosine, which is one of the inhibitory neurotransmitters. When this is done, other neurotransmitters 9dopamine and norepinephrine) are increased thus firing the brain neurons fast. This helps in boosting your energy, mood, cognitive function and memory.
It Reduces the Risk of Certain Diseases
Another good reason as to why you should drink coffee every day is because it has been proven to be effective in reducing the risks of various diseases including cancer. People who drink several cups of coffee each day have a reduced risk of developing cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, Parkinson's and others such as Alzheimer's .
While these benefits are real, it is worth noting that one can only enjoy them if they are able to drink coffee regularly. This might mean having the best coffee machine and if you are to buy one, you will need to look at the different features to see which one favors you more. Additionally, you can avoid unnecessary mistakes while making your purchase by checking different coffee maker reviews to see what other users have to say about different appliances.

St James & The Apostles perform "Shavonne" [Live Music]
St James & The Apostles perform "Shavonne" from their new album "VIA DOLOROSA"
St. James & The Apostles is three Philly cousins who play sweaty, heavy, organ-powered psychedelic soul. Think Deep Purple meets James Brown – 'Live At The Apollo'. "I just didn't want to play that garage rock stuff anymore, even though I still love it, but been there done that," says Jamie Mahon, lead singer, guitarist and songwriter. After the demise of his previous band, the Three 4 Tens, Mahon enlisted his younger cousins Mike Kiker on keyboards and Jeff Castner on drums.
Mike, the resident psych & prog aficionado and former church organist gone acid, prides himself on being a more-than-competent multi-instrumentalist (not just keys, but also guitar, bass, drums, flute, mandolin and over a dozen others) and Jeff, hailing from the New Jersey hardcore punk scene, considers his drumming style somewhere between John Bonham and Animal (from the Muppets), and since joining up with Mike and Jamie has left a trail of broken drumsticks and cymbals in his wake.

text: We arrived around five in the evening and of course we wasted no time and packed a bag to spend some time by the ocean before dinner. The weather is gorgeous here with the sun shining down on us with a cool breeze that nips at your skin. I'm thankful for this little mini vacation we are about to have and happy for all these moments. Here are some photos of the short time we've been here already!

Eugene, Oregon: Population = 166,575, elevation = 430 feet, Average January low temp = 34.5º, Average July high temp = 82.2º, Average precipitation = 46.12"
The last time we passed through Eugene it was May and the rhododendron forest in Hendricks Park was in full, exhilarating bloom. Spring flowers were erupting from every lawn and garden. The weather was perfect. This year we were just in time for a record-setting streak of hot weather. Temperatures were in the 100s and upper 90s for our week in a house without air-conditioning! Blasting fans turned the house from oven to convection oven. So, to save ourselves from melting, we spent most of the 100 degree days inside movie theaters, breweries, restaurants, and museums.
We had some help with the breweries. Eugene's Visitor's Center has a "Eugene Ale Trail" passport with the names and addresses of 17 breweries. Go to just 8 of the breweries, have them stamp the passport, and collect an (empty) growler. After just three 100 degree days, we had our growlers. (Note: Usually I take photos of untasted beers. When it's 100, the first gulp come before the first photo.)
Besides the heat wave, we were dealing with smoke and pollen. There had not been any rain for a long time and the greenery was crunchy. Off in the distant woods, forest fires were burning down vast tracts of tall pines, filling the sky with smoke. Across the Willamette Valley, a half million acres of lawn grass seed crop pollen was wafting throughout the valley. A haze loomed over the city, torturing our sinuses and bleary eyes.
When it got a little cooler (mid 90s) we went to see a museum. The Museum of Natural and Cultural History has exhibits both anthropologic and geologic. The cultural history traces the history of indigenous tribes, settlers, gold miners and loggers, trains and roads. The natural history tells of tectonic plates shifting, converging, and subducting to form mountains and valleys. A chart of CO2 in the atmosphere predicts future changes to the world.
With the outdoors somewhat livable again, we set off to see some of the local culture. There are a lot of community events in Eugene. Every week, the Wednesday Farmers Market springs up near downtown with blocks full of vendors, food, and music. Saturday is the Lane County Farmers Market. Parks all around the city have lots of fun weekend events, including movies, plays, and music. We got to see the One More Time Marching Band perform some classic martial music. A short ride across the river brought us to the very strange 2nd Star Festival, a sort of arts and craft event by people in fantasy costumes.
Our first pass through Eugene put it firmly on our short list of possible places to settle down. This trip raised some questions. We know that a scorching week is just weather, not climate. It happens. The annual dry, smoky, pollen-laden skies were an unpleasant surprise. I guess the search continues…
Next up: Coos Bay, Oregon

Welcome to our website. My name is Justin E. I have more than eight years working as professional fitness trainer. I, along with my colleagues planned this blog to share information on the selection and use of fitness equipment. We present reviews, comparisons, instructions for the equipment and ways to use it. You can ask any questions you may have on this topic and we will try to help.
The additional equipment allows you to speed up the receipt of the result and gives some advantage. In most cases, you can go to practice in the gym. But this option is not suitable for everyone. Most often it's a matter of time – a schedule of work, household chores, and fences do not allow you to regularly engage in the gym. Therefore, the majority of reviews devoted to the equipment for a home gym.
Benefits of Home Gyms
- Save time – You do not need to get to the gym and back, spend it for a while. If there is a prospect of getting into traffic jams or the hall is far from your home or work, it can take a long time.
- Training at any time – even if you are limited in free time, in the presence of half an hour, training is possible. Also, there is no time limit.
- Convenience – the training process can be completely subordinated to your needs and preferences. Everything will be guided by your interests.
- Workout personality – you do not wait for the simulator until someone makes a hike and finishes the exercise. Choosing the necessary equipment can be guided by their needs and ways of training.
- It's cheaper – In the long run, home workouts are cheaper than regular workouts in the gym. In addition, it is worth considering that each of its own equipment is more careful. And it serves long enough. You can gradually buy equipment, as far as your training and needs.
Disadvantages: perhaps training in the gym is more disciplined. Also, competition can be an additional motivation. In addition, training with a personal trainer is possible.
Best at Home Gym Equipment to Lose Weight
If the goal of your training is to lose weight, then you need a certain set of equipment and adaptations, as well as a training program. Most often, a small set of TRX, a rope, a yoga mat, a pair of small dumbbells will be enough to start. Further, as you train, you can add simulators, a horizontal bar, free weights.
Cardio training will be useful for the entire body in the following stages. It is worth paying attention to treadmills, exercise bikes, multifunction (all in one) simulators. It will allow you to perform workouts aimed at the active burning of calories and weight loss.
Cheap Gym Equipment
If you are embarrassed in the budget, we have prepared a number of articles with advice on how you can make equipment yourself and what tools you can use for training. Best home gym equipment ideas will regularly appear on the pages of our site. Those who have the skills and know how to make – can independently build themselves a number of useful adaptations for training. This can be a horizontal bar, boxing pear, bars, bench for bench press and much more.
Free Weights
Often in training, we use free weights. These dumbbells with adjustable weight, weights, barbells. It allows you to train almost all muscle groups. During training, a press bench may be necessary. The popularity of free weights is explained by the high efficiency of training, ease of use. Compactness and other advantages at the maximum opportunities for athletes of any level of preparation.
Main Brands of Fitness Equipment
First of all, we consider market leaders who are in demand, often used in most gyms. This does not exclude qualitative one-time solutions from little-known companies. The main market leaders that we often write about are Bowflex, Weider, Gold's Gym, Stamina.
We try to describe only proven and high-quality models of equipment. The information is collected from several sources, we take into account demand, opinions, rating, statistics. It can be gyms, fitness trainers, sports equipment stores, customer reviews.
Home Fitness Equipment List:
The main equipment that is presented on our website is:
- Treadmills – types, main brands, description of models. Comparison of different types of a price range, opportunities. This is a cardiovascular device that anyone can use at home.
- Power Tower – is equipment for training with own weight. These are exercises for the upper body. With them, you can perform pull-ups, push-ups, dips.
- Benches – for performing exercises with free weights sitting or lying down. They allow you to perform training focusing on certain muscle groups at the right angle.
- Multifunctional simulators – simulators for different muscle groups, with a large set of capabilities. Usually, this equipment is more expensive, but it gives a lot of opportunities for training.
Where and how you would not train, no matter what your goal, an important success factor will be the regularity of training, the correctness of the exercises and the training program, nutrition, and recovery. Therefore, we will to some extent pay attention to these issues.

I can't wait until this election is over! I'm so tired of the b/s lying that everyone is doing, while news outlets just bash turmp, and try to make hillary out to be a god. I tired of everything that is not the governments story , labeled a conspiracy theory.
The MSM is a bunch of B/S. They defend every thing that hillary does and bash trump for something he said to another man (guy talk) 10 years ago.
Hillary is responsible for people dying! She has been in powerful positions for quite some time. And people are to stupid to put together the fact that everything she says she will do if she is podus, she could have already done! By voting for her is saying that everything going on in the world right now is ok, because voting for her, NOTHING WILL CHANGE!!
Yes Trump might not be the best guy for the job, but its about time we get politicians out of the office. If G.W.B. was podus for 8 years than trump can't do that bad.
Trump will be podus!! and if he is not than the election was rigged. I will be out at voting places telling people they need to vote for Trump and than after he robbed for the job I will be on the streets trying to make a change and I hope I'm not the only one. I can't live with these lies anymore. I am done being a sheep.
What I don't understand is why Hillary wants to go to war with russia so bad?
I thuink making friends with the Russsians is a very good idea. They are making us look like a bunch of a-holes that we are. They are calling out everything that the us is trying to hide. Like the fact that the us is supporting isis.
I'm also tried of these groups that say all this poop and still are only trying to do whatever they are doing to further there own goals. Anonymous wkiki blm. They are all full of it.
We as a people are screwed!
We are too far gone.
I'm done being liyed to. If trump does not win this election I will be out taking back my goverment. And if im by my self so be it. The rest of the sheep can be slowly lead to the slaughter

Most people have no idea how much money they spend in a given month. Even worse, some people do not even want to know because their spending is out of control. But no matter how much you make, if you can't control your spending you'll never be able to save money, acquire wealth, or retire early. The number of professional sports athletes with multi-million dollar salaries who declare bankruptcy is proof of this.
Why track expenses
I started tracking every penny we spent a few years before we retired. I had two specific reasons:
- To optimize our spending. I could see in what categories we were spending our money and then we could make an informed decision about where we could cut costs. In retirement, I also want to make sure that we aren't being too frugal and that we don't underspend our budget.
- To develop an accurate retirement budget based on actual spending. We couldn't retire until we knew that our investment portfolio would support our budget. Financial advisors often use a rule of thumb that you should aim to replace 70-80% of your income in retirement but this can be wildly inaccurate for the frugal. Based on our actual spending, we developed a retirement budget that is less than a quarter of our gross income while we were working.
Controlling spending is the single most important thing you can do to improve your financial status. It's even more important than having a high-paying job.
How I track expenses
I simply get receipts for everything I purchase and enter the information manually into a spreadsheet. If I don't get a receipt, I write myself a note/email on my phone so I remember to enter it later.
In my spreadsheet, I have one sheet for transactions:
I then summarize the transactions by month and category:
I generally use cash basis accounting where I record the date of the expense when I actually pay for it (I charge it to my credit card or the cash leaves my wallet). The only exceptions are for housing and travel where we may pay for expenses far in advance.
If you are not comfortable with spreadsheets, or prefer a little more help, there are lots of alternatives but here are three commonly recommended options:
- Quicken is a personal finance program created by Intuit. It can download your credit card statements and automatically categorize them.
- YNAB (You Need a Budget). I have not personally used YNAB but it gets very good reviews from users. YNAB has a 34 day free trial.
- Mint is an online personal finance software similar to Quicken (and also owned by Intuit). However, I would never use Mint as they require access to your financial accounts and I'm not comfortable giving up passwords.
Although it's a little more work, I prefer using a spreadsheet as it gives me complete control over my expense data. I can make whatever summaries or graphs I would like and the data is always easily exportable. However, the most important thing is to pick a method that you can stick with for the long term. You can also minimize the amount of leakage (spending not accounted for) — it's very easy to miss small cash purchases.
What Categories Should I use to track spending
Below is our current list of categories we use to track expenses. In general, I would start simple and then expand if needed.
Auto Gas
Auto Parking
Auto Misc
Auto Insurance
Clothes Dry Cleaning
Clothes Kara
Clothes Stephen
Food Grocery
Food Dining
Haircut Kara
Haircut Stephen
Home Garden
Household Misc
Medical Out of Pocket
Medical Premium
Misc Postage
Transportation Parking
Utility Elec/Gas
Utility Phone Land Line
Utility Internet
Utility Water
Utility Cell Kara
Utility Cell Stephen
Utility Garbage
You'll notice there are some things that we exclude from our expense tracking spreadsheet:
- Savings – this might be useful to track if you want to reconcile your expenses with your income. We've never felt the need for this but it's not a bad idea.
- Taxes – we haven't tracked taxes (income/property) closely because we expected them to change drastically (i.e. drop) once we retired. Thus knowing our historical taxes paid would not be useful in retirement planning. However now that we are retired, we may start tracking them once our tax burden stabilizes.
- International Vacations – these tend to be costly and we reserve funds for these separately. While working, we only had limited vacation time and went on an international trip perhaps every other year.
- Investing Expenses – I think this is very important to minimize these expenses and I track the total expense ratio of my investments (mainly ETFs and index funds) separately.
If you want to stop living paycheck to paycheck, reduce your spending, or retire early, tracking your expenditures is a must. Once you get in the habit, it is very easy to do. For us, it was a key part of meeting our early retirement goal.
