Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Plaintiff,
David Zelouf, et. al., Defendants.
Michael Joblonski, Esq.
Steven J. Baum, PC
Buffalo, NY
The defendant did not answer.
Arthur M. Schack, J.
In this foreclosure action, plaintiff, WELLS FARGO, N.A. (WELLS FARGO), moved for summary judgment and an order of reference and related relief for the premises located at 14 Stockholm Street, Brooklyn, New York (Block 3253, Lot 13, County of Kings). The Court received a notice of withdrawal of the instant motion, dated February 18, 2010, from plaintiff's counsel. There was no valid explanation or reason given by plaintiff's counsel for his request to withdraw the motion.
Further, plaintiff's counsel states in his notice of withdrawal, "[t]he Plaintiff will not be discontinuing the above referenced action." Moreover, in his cover letter to myself, plaintiff's counsel states that "[t]he law firm of Steven J. Baum, P.C. and the attorneys whom it employs are debt collectors who are attempting to collect a debt. Any information obtained by them will be used for that purpose." Since this statement was in a cover letter to me and does not appear to be preprinted on the letterhead of the Baum firm, the Court would like to know what debt it [*2]personally owes to the Baum firm or its clients? This statement borders upon frivolous conduct, in violation of 22 NYCRR § 130-1.1. Was it made to cause annoyance or alarm to the Court? Was it made to waste judicial resources? Rather than answer the above rhetorical questions, counsel for plaintiff is directed never to place such a foolish statement in a cover letter to this Court. If this occurs again, the firm of Steven J. Baum, P.C. is on notice that this Court will have the firm and the attorney who wrote this nonsensical statement appear to explain why the firm and the individual attorney should not be sanctioned for frivolous conduct.
With respect to the request of plaintiff's counsel to withdraw the instant motion for summary judgment and an order of reference, the Court grants the request to withdraw the motion. However, since plaintiff is not discontinuing the instant foreclosure action, the Court, to prevent the waste of judicial resources, dismisses the instant foreclosure action without prejudice. If plaintiff's counsel chooses to renew the instant motion and restore the instant case, plaintiff's counsel must comply with the new Rule, promulgated by the Chief Administrative Judge on October 20, 2010, requiring an affirmation by plaintiff's counsel that he communicated on a specific date with a named representative of plaintiff WELLS FARGO who informed him that he or she:
(a) has personally reviewed plaintiff's documents and records relating
to this case for factual accuracy; and (b) confirmed the factual
accuracy of the allegations set forth in the Complaint and any
supporting affirmations filed with the Court as well as the accuracy
of the notarizations contained in the supporting documents filed
Further, plaintiff's counsel, based upon his or her communication with plaintiff's representative or representatives, "as well as upon my own inspection and reasonable inquiry under the circumstances, . . . affirm that, to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief, the Summons, Complaint and other papers filed or submitted to the Court in this matter contain no false statements of fact or law."
Counsel is reminded that the new standard Court affirmation form states that "I am aware of my obligations under New York Rules of Professional Conduct (22 NYCRR Part 1200) and 22 NYCRR Part 130." These Parts deal with disciplinary standards and sanctions for frivolous conduct.
Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL) § 1321 allows the Court in a foreclosure action, upon the default of the defendant or defendant's admission of mortgage payment arrears, to appoint a referee "to compute the amount due to the plaintiff." In the instant action, plaintiff WELLS FARGO's application for an order of reference is a preliminary step to obtaining a default judgment of foreclosure and sale against defendant ZELOUF. (Home Sav. of Am., F.A. v Gkanios, 230 AD2d 770 [2d Dept 1996]). Plaintiff's request to withdraw its motion is granted. However, to allow this action to continue without seeking the ultimate purpose of a foreclosure action, to obtain a judgment of foreclosure and sale, makes a mockery of and wastes judicial resources. Continuing the instant action without moving for a judgment of foreclosure and sale is the judicial equivalent of a "timeout," and granting a "timeout" to plaintiff WELLS FARGO is a waste of judicial resources. Therefore, the instant action is dismissed without [*3]prejudice.
Further, the dismissal of the instant foreclosure action requires the cancellation of the notice of pendency. CPLR § 6501 provides that the filing of a notice of pendency against a property is to give constructive notice to any purchaser of real property or encumbrancer against real property of an action that "would affect the title to, or the possession, use or enjoyment of real property, except in a summary proceeding brought to recover the possession of real property." The Court of Appeals, in 5308 Realty Corp. v O & Y Equity Corp. (64 NY2d 313, 319 [1984]), commented that "[t]he purpose of the doctrine was to assure that a court retained its ability to effect justice by preserving its power over the property, regardless of whether a purchaser had any notice of the pending suit," and, at 320, that "the statutory scheme permits a party to effectively retard the alienability of real property without any prior judicial review."
CPLR § 6514 (a) provides for the mandatory cancellation of a notice of pendency by:
The Court,upon motion of any person aggrieved and upon such
notice as it may require, shall direct any county clerk to cancel
a notice of pendency, if service of a summons has not been completed
within the time limited by section 6512; or if the action has been
settled, discontinued or abated; or if the time to appeal from a final
judgment against the plaintiff has expired; or if enforcement of a
final judgment against the plaintiff has not been stayed pursuant
to section 551. [emphasis added]
The plain meaning of the word "abated," as used in CPLR § 6514 (a) is the ending of an action. "Abatement" is defined as "the act of eliminating or nullifying." (Black's Law Dictionary 3 [7th ed 1999]). "An action which has been abated is dead, and any further enforcement of the cause of action requires the bringing of a new action, provided that a cause of action remains (2A Carmody-Wait 2d § 11.1)." (Nastasi v Nastasi, 26 AD3d 32, 40 [2d Dept 2005]). Further, Nastasi at 36, held that the "[c]ancellation of a notice of pendency can be granted in the exercise of the inherent power of the court where its filing fails to comply with CPLR § 6501 (see 5303 Realty Corp. v O & Y Equity Corp., supra at 320-321; Rose v Montt Assets, 250 AD2d 451, 451-452 [1d Dept 1998]; Siegel, NY Prac § 336 [4th ed])." Thus, the dismissal of the instant complaint must result in the mandatory cancellation of plaintiff WELLS FARGO's notice of pendency against the subject property "in the exercise of the inherent power of the court."
Last, if plaintiff WELLS FARGO's counsel moves to restore the instant action and motion, plaintiff's counsel must comply with the new filing requirement to submit, under penalties of perjury, an affirmation that he or she has taken reasonable steps, including inquiring of plaintiff WELLS FARGO and reviewing all papers, to verify the accuracy of the submitted documents in support of the instant foreclosure action. According to the October 20, 2010 Office of Court Administration press release about the new filing requirement, Chief Judge Lippman said:
We cannot allow the courts in New York State to stand by idly and
be party to what we now know is a deeply flawed process, especially
when that process involves basic human needs — such as a family home — [*4]
during this period of economic crisis. This new filing requirement will
play a vital role in ensuring that the documents judges rely on will be
thoroughly examined, accurate, and error-free before any judge is asked
to take the drastic step of foreclosure.
(See Gretchen Morgenson and Andrew Martin, Big Legal Clash on Foreclosure is Taking Shape, New York Times, Oct. 21, 2010; Andrew Keshner, New Court Rules Says Attorneys Must Verify Foreclosure Papers, NYLJ, Oct. 21, 2010).
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED, that the request of plaintiff, WELLS FARGO BANK, N. A., to withdraw its motion for an order of reference, for the premises located at 14 Stockholm Street, Brooklyn, New York (Block 3253, Lot 13, County of Kings), is granted; and it is further
ORDERED, that the instant action, Index Number 17524/09, is dismissed without prejudice; and it is further
ORDERED, that the notice of pendency in the instant action, filed with the Kings County Clerk on July 14, 2009, by plaintiff, WELLS FARGO BANK, N. A., to foreclose a mortgage for real property located at 14 Stockholm Street, Brooklyn, New York (Block 3253, Lot 13, County of Kings), is cancelled; and it is further
ORDERED, that if plaintiff, WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., moves to restore the instant foreclosure action and motion for an order of reference for real property located at 14 Stockholm Street, Brooklyn, New York (Block 3253, Lot 13, County of Kings, counsel for plaintiff must comply with the new Court filing requirement, announced by Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman on October 20, 2010, and ordered by Chief Administrative Judge Ann T. Pfau on October 20, 2010, by submitting an affirmation, using the new standard Court form, pursuant to CPLR Rule 2106 and under the penalties of perjury, that counsel for plaintiff, WELLS FARGO BANK, N. A.: has personally reviewed plaintiff's documents and records in the instant action; confirms the factual accuracy of plaintiff's court filings; and, confirms the accuracy of the notarizations in plaintiff's documents.
This constitutes the Decision and Order of the Court.

19 Greats From Around Boxing Will Be Inducted Aug. 10 in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS, July 26, 2013 — Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, who went from reform school to become known as "the baddest man on the planet," has announced that he will attend the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame's inaugural induction gala on Saturday, August 10 at the Monte Carlo Resort in Las Vegas.
A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Tyson is one of three Nevada resident boxers who make up the NVBHOF's initial class of 19. The others are Mike McCallum, who will attend the ceremony, and the late Diego "Chico" Corrales. Corrales' wife, Michelle, will accept the award in his memory.
Tyson knocked out Trevor Berbick in the second round at the Las Vegas Hilton on Nov. 22, 1986, to become, at 20, the youngest heavyweight champion in history. "Iron" Mike fought many of his most significant bouts in the Silver State and went 13-2 with nine knockouts in Nevada.
In his legendary career, Tyson was 50-6 with 44 KOs.
"I am truly honored by this induction," said Tyson, a resident of Henderson, Nev. "It's an extraordinary feeling to be recognized for my accomplishments by the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame. It's very nostalgic at this stage of my life to look back with dignity on my career and how much the state of Nevada has contributed to my legacy."
McCallum, who is also a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, was 6-1 in seven fights in Nevada. The signature win over his career was a devastating, one-punch knockout of Donald Curry at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in 1987.
McCallum turned pro in Las Vegas, defeating Rigoberto Lopez with a fourth-round knockout in 1981.
Corrales, who died tragically in a motor vehicle accident in 2007, was one of boxing's top action fighters of the late 1990s and early 2000s. He knocked out Jose Luis Castillo in the 10th around of a lightweight title fight at Mandalay Bay in 2005 that is regarded by many who saw it as one of the greatest bouts in boxing history.
Corrales was knocked down twice in the 10th round of that fight, and seemed to be on the verge of being stopped, when he arose and hit Castillo with a big right that hurt the Mexican star. Corrales, one of the game's best finishers, put an end to the bout with a brutal display of power punching.
He ended his career with a 40-5 record and 33 knockouts.
Tyson, McCallum and Corrales are among 19 inductees in eight categories who will be honored at the much anticipated gala dinner.
Other notable fighters who plan to attend include ex-heavyweight champion Larry Holmes and former multi-division world champion Julio César Chávez Sr. Both men were chosen in the non-Nevada resident category.
The Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame is an IRS 501-c-3 non-profit organization that was founded in 2012 by noted broadcaster Rich Marotta. Tickets for the gala and donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Tickets in the $250 category are sold out, but tickets at $150 and $50 are still available. The $150 tickets include dinner, but the $50 tickets do not.

Obama to tap John Brennan for CIA director
President Obama will nominate White House counterterrorism official John Brennan to head the Central Intelligence Agency.
Brennan, a 25-year CIA veteran, would replace David Petraeus, who resigned last year after acknowledging an extramarital affair.
Obama plans to make the Brennan announcement at the same time he nominates former Nebraska senator Chuck Hagel to be Defense secretary. The announcement is set for 1:05 p.m. ET Monday.
"John Brennan's career of service and extraordinary record has prepared him to be an outstanding director of the CIA," said a White House statement. "Since 9/11, he has been on the front lines in the fight against al-Qaeda. Over the past four years, he has been involved in virtually all major national security issues and will be able to hit the ground running at CIA."
In going with Brennan, Obama passed over acting director -- and Petraeus deputy -- Michael Morell.
Obama considered Brennan for the CIA post after his 2008 election, but Brennan withdrew his name after critics questioned his connections to enhanced interrogation techniques used by the CIA during the George W. Bush administration.
Brennan denied involvement in waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods, and has spoken out against them.
Obama has credited Brennan for his work on a variety of issues, from the 2011 raid that killed 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden to counterterrorism efforts in Somalia and Yemen to the challenges of the Arab Spring pro-democracy efforts.
The White House adviser has also been involved in the administration's increased use of unmanned drones for surveillance and attacks on suspected terrorists.
Brennan's years at the CIA included stints at deputy executive director, station chief in Saudi Arabia, and top presidential briefer. He has worked in both Republican and Democratic administrations.

How a suicide bomber was recruited — then changed his mind
GARDEZ, Afghanistan — "Ahmad", who asked that his real name not be used for fear of retribution, was born in a small town in Pakistan's Punjab Province. He came from a large but poor family. Pakistan's notoriously poor education system meant that good schools were out of reach, and so instead he went to a madrassa, an Islamic school, in his home village.
After this religious schooling, he took a job in a bakery and supported his family. "Then one day a friend invited me to take a trip to Waziristan. I knew almost nothing about the Taliban or America at that time," he recalled.
His friend took him to a Pakistani Taliban camp, where his hosts welcomed him and gave him lodging. At first he wanted to leave, but his hosts asked him to stay for a short while and "learn about Islam."
In the morning and afternoon, they'd recite verses from the Koran, and in the evening they showed him hour upon hour of films of alleged American atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"I became outraged when I saw video clips of what was happening to my Muslim brothers and sisters," he said. "After watching this for nearly two months, it became intolerable for me. I eventually decided to give my life for my (Muslim) country."
The camp was run by Maulavi Nazeer, a powerful Pakistani Taliban commander. According to "Ahmad", many of the fighters trained under Nazeer went to Afghanistan to fight with the insurgent group run by Jalaluddin Haqqani.
"Ahmad's" destiny wasn't to become a fighter, however: He told his hosts that he would like to become a "martyr," a suicide bomber.
Nearly seven months passed, and then one day Nazeer came to Ahmad and told him that he had a job for him.
Some of Nazeer's men drove Ahmad to the Afghan border. On the other side, he was met by Haqqani representatives who led him to a car full of explosives and a suicide vest.
"They told me to drive down a particular road for a short while, after which I would find some foreign soldiers who had killed many Muslims," he recalled.
"I drove and eventually neared a checkpoint with soldiers. My finger was on the trigger — but then I heard them speaking an Afghan language."
The checkpoint was manned by Afghan soldiers, not Americans.
"I realized that I had been tricked. I didn't want to sacrifice myself to kill other Muslims, only the foreign occupiers," he says. "I had my finger on the trigger, but I couldn't press the button."
Ahmad turned himself in and is now in the custody of Afghan authorities.

Neighbor might not have to share costs of fence
Q. Our neighbor installed a new fence between our properties and did not tell us he was going to do it. After the fence went up, he asked us to pay half the costs. Do we legally have to pay? Does it matter that they did not consult us about the fence?
A. As a general rule, unless you have a homeowner's or civic association that requires the cost of the fence be divided between the neighbors, you have no obligation to pay half the cost. Your neighbor installed the fence, so it is his fence and he has to pay for it. If he wanted you to pay for half the fence, he should have talked to you before the fence went up and had you agree to split the costs. Having said that, however, you do benefit from the fence and it does seem fair for you to pay half. But you must make the decision of whether to pay and how much.
Q. I am 67 years old and had a common law marriage for more than 35 years. My husband recently passed. Am I entitled to his Social Security?
A. Under the law, a widow is entitled to receive Social Security survivor's benefits upon the death of her husband. The fact that you have a common law marriage does not change your eligibility. As I have said before, as far as the law is concerned, a common law marriage is no different than any other marriage. How much you receive will depend on factors such as how long your husband worked. To learn more about survivor's benefits, visit the Social Security Survivors Planner, at www.ssa.gov/survivorplan/index.htm.
Q. Our daughter is getting divorced. Can she claim any part of land our son-in-law recently inherited?
A. If the property was inherited by just your son, it is considered his separate property and your daughter has no interest in it.
Q. My stepfather died without a will. Am I entitled to any of his property? He always treated me the same as all of his other children.
A. He may have treated you like his other children, but as far as the law is concerned, you are different, and you do not inherit any of his property. If there is a will, the beneficiaries named in the will inherit. When a person dies without a will, the law determines who inherits his or her property. A stepchild is not included on the list of people to whom property passes after death.
Q. If you loan someone money and they don't pay you back, what type of action can be taken to retrieve funds? Can I just take some of his property?
A. The only way to legally enforce any loan is through a lawsuit. Without a separate agreement, such as a mortgage on a house or a security agreement for a car, you have no legal right to take any property. If the amount is $10,000 or less, you can file a claim in small claims court to collect.
Q. I must move out of my apartment before the end of my lease. I have a friend that wants to move in. Can I just sublease my apartment to him?
A. Under Texas law, a tenant may not sublease unless the lease expressly authorizes it. If your lease does not permit you to sublease and you do, you would be in breach of your lease and your landlord could evict the person to whom you sublet the apartment. If your lease does not authorize you to sublet, you may want to speak with your landlord and see if he will agree to the new tenant. Assuming that your friend is as good a tenant as you are, your landlord will probably agree.

Flaxseed in Preventing Breast Cancer in Premenopausal Women at Risk of Developing Breast Cancer
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.

RATIONALE: Ground flaxseed may prevent breast cancer in premenopausal women at increased risk of developing primary breast cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well flaxseed works in preventing breast cancer in premenopausal women at risk of breast cancer.
|Condition or disease
|Breast Cancer Precancerous Condition
|Dietary Supplement: Ground Flaxseed Other: No Intervention
|Not Applicable
Primary aims:
Determine if 25 grams of flaxseed supplementation daily
- modifies proliferation (ki-67) and apoptotic rates after six months
- modifies expression of estrogen regulated genes: Cyclin D1, survivin, and VEGF at six months
- modifies serum IGF-1 and serum binding protein (IGFBP)-3 levels from baseline to 6 months
- and evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of flaxseed consumption, and determine factors that lead to decreased compliance
This is a randomized study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
- Arm I (intervention): Patients ingest 25 grams ground flaxseed daily, with already prepared foods, for 6 months. Patients are instructed to record the time and with what foods flaxseed is consumed, and the number of bowel movements daily. Throughout the 6-month intervention period, patients also complete unannounced telephone-administered surveys recounting all foods and beverages consumed within the previous 24 hours.
- Arm II (observation): Patients do not receive ground flaxseed. All patients complete a diary about menstrual cycle duration and presence or improvement of premenstrual symptoms (e.g., cramping, bloating, headache, insomnia, or other irregular symptoms). Patients also complete questionnaires at 1, 3, and 6 months to access changes in diet, physical activity, menstrual history, demographic characteristics, and medical history and a specimen questionnaire at baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months.
Blood and first-void urine samples are collected at baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months to measure levels of lignan metabolites, flaxseed compliance, serum thiocyanate, malondialdehyde, and for biomarker studies by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, high-performance liquid chromatography, and ELISA.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed monthly for up to 6 months.
|Study Type :

A first look at all the submissions made for a full slate of 10 events for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro discloses some interesting developments.
Three main topics seem to be on the agenda for council to decide beginning of May in St. Petersburg. These are:
- keelboats for both men and women
- two medals for the 470s
- the question of boards - the one or the other, or both, or even more ?
While the 470 lobby obviously was on fire, with 19 out of the 35 submissions made regarding Olympic events and equipment now including 2 events for separate mens and womens medals in the 2 person dinghy with spinnaker, the keelboat lobby lost a bit ground as many submissions do not include any keelboats anymore at all.
Of course there are several submissions to re-instate the mens keelboat, however there doesn't seem to be a clear target against which the keelboat lobby can team up against.
The question for the boards still remains unclear. There seems to be a huge move towards having evaluation including both kiteboards and windsurfers which could also mean combined events - either as team event or as a relay event including teams of two (either a male and a female competitor, or a kiteboarder and a windsurfer of same gender in one team).
11 submissions have changed the "or" to "and/or", further 5 submissions include a clear team event option (which ensures that both kiteboarders and windsurfers will be present in Rio), and another 5 submissions ask for 3 or even 4 medals for boards. That sums up to an impressive 21 submissions out of the 35 that clearly want to give kiteboarding the chance to make it into the Olympics.
It has to be said that there are also 5 submissions that only want to see windsurfing and not kiteboarding in, and 2 submissions that do not want to see any boards in at all. We wonder if the initiators of these 7 submissions have already arrived in the 21st century and even thought about what the youth of the world wants to see.
Going further into the analysis of the submissions it becomes clear, that there is a huge crossover between those that want to see two 470 medals and those that want to see separate medals for kiteboarding and windsurfing. It could make sense to achieve both...

How much floor space is needed?
What impact level (low, high, mixed)?
Is it safe to do on carpet (i.e. not lots of pivots/turns)?
What is the length of the workout (including how long the warm-up and cool-down are)?
With strength work, I am an intermediate exerciser, who doesnt really want to move up to advanced work. Most of the time, I do traditional strength work with weight. However, I have enjoyed branching out into Pilates and workouts on the ball as well. I especially enjoy fusion workouts, tapes that blend Pilates with other disciplines like traditional strength work, ballet, the ball, etc. That is why I really wanted to try this workout. I recently tried ALC II, but found it was too hard on my body. I dont mind hard workouts, but I dont want them to be hard on my joints. Someone loaned me this workout to try it out.
The way I would describe the series of exercises is as follows:
> Warm up
> Series of moves that include planks and work the legs. These moves are propped on your hands.
> Series of moves seated in what Kari calls an S shape. They work the legs and hips.
> Series of moves that work the legs while lying on your side
> Leg series while sitting
> Lying on floor pelvic tilts and lifts
> Lying on floor inner thigh work
> Ab work lying on floor and sitting
> Series of planks and pikes moves require you be propped on your hands
> Stretches
Kari leads a group of background exercisers. She said at the beginning of the tape that they show different levels of flexibility, but in much of the workout I had trouble telling. They all looked more flexible than me. Kari gives form pointers and suggested alternatives throughout the workout. She also gives extremely detailed explanations about how parts of the body should be placed that flow with the workout. She explains as you do the moves; its not like you sit and listen to explanations and then do the moves. She makes me feel its okay if I cant do the moves to their full extent, if Im not flexible or strong enough.
The music is light pleasant jazzy music. She encourages you to use all the beats of the music several times, so she uses the music as a tool. She also has fun with some of the moves.
There are two sections with moves that require you to be propped on your hands one at the beginning and one toward the end. This did not frustrate me as they were compact sections, instead of the moves being spread throughout the workout. Sometimes I will do them, other times I wont. It will simply depend on how my joints are doing.
Overall, I like this workout. I need to see if I can get a copy for myself. I think it will be a good workout for days I dont feel like lifting weight, but want to feel pleasantly worked out.
Instructor Comments:
Kari is probably my favorite fitness instructor. She makes me believe I can do her workouts and, if I can't, that it will come with time.
ANGLES, LINES, AND CURVES is a nice blend of yoga and pilates-type movements, yet it is different from both of these disciplines. Instructor Kari guides you through simple, focused movements which target mainly the lower body with some focus on the abdominals. The workout is broken down into different segments, with each 5-6 minute segment consisting of several different exercises; following the warm-up, most of the segments are done on the floor. Some of the movements are challenging, but overall, it the workout is not overly strenuous, and the segmented format helps the time (45 minutes total) go by quickly. This a nice video that's challenging at times but also gentle enough for lighter days, for taking a break from weight training, or for just feeling stretched and relaxed.
Instructor Comments:
I liked Kari, who reminds me a bit of Karen Voight--she explains the moves simply, executes the exercises with perfect form, and does little chatting during the movements.
This is my first Kari Anderson video and I think she's great! She has a very pleasing, relaxed, natural way about her - non-scripted and she's very encouraging and inspiring as well.
Instructor Comments:
I love this video!!!! I won't go into detaild describing all the elemtents because many have already done a great job at that. What I like about this video is that it is PERFECT for in between strength training days when you want to do more non-strenuous exercise and stretch out your body. Although it is dance-inspired, there isn't actually a lot of dancing in the video. I would describe it as pilates and yoga poses fluidly moving into each other to very relaxing music. Some of the moves are quite challenging and take some serious concentration to do. The set is very lovely (muted white, gauzy curtains with the silouette of tree limbs behind them) and the music is great! A little new-agey in a good way.
I am anxious to try Angles, Lines & Curves II which I understand is more toning-oriented.
Overall, I highly recommend this workout!
I bought Kari Anderson's Angles, Lines & Curves for my husband as a Christmas gift. We are avid downhill skiers - usually skiing both days each weekend from Thanksgiving through May. We hike and backpack all summer. We train for skiing and the other sports we enjoy by participating in Sports Conditioning classes at our gym. We also make sure we get some steady state cardio workouts. We lift weights as we have time. This video is a very good fit for us. We typically do it on a "rest day" after interval work or after skiing. It really stretches our muscles and makes us feel loose and fluid. I have only been doing this video for a month, but I can already see improvement in my flexibility. I like the stabilization work as well. I think this video is a particularly good match for athletic people who want stretching and flexibility work, but who don't like yoga. The time goes by very quickly in this video and I find I am interested from beginning to end. The music works very well in this video.
Instructor Comments:
Kari is great. Her cuing is very good and her demeanor is so pleasantly friendly. Her graceful form is very inspiring.
When I read the description of this video in Collage, it intrigued me. I have a background in dance, and I enjoy yoga and floorwork. I was also looking for something a bit different. I ordered the video, and I was NOT disappointed.
This video just flows. It is definitely dance, yoga, and Pilates-inspired. The exercises are deceptively challenging, as long as you pay close attention to form. You WILL feel your muscles working. I do this video when I want a little extra--I do strength/cardio in the morning, and I do this one in the evening. I use it in place of a yoga tape. I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner, since many of the moves require a good deal of muscular control, but low intermediates to advanced will like it (provided you like the style).
The production quality is excellent. From the set (the white flowing curtains in the studio, the shadows of trees in the windows, and the white candles along the wall) to the music (relaxing, new-age instrumental with lots of piano--reminds me a lot of barre music for ballet), it just all fits together. Add Kari Anderson to the recipe, and you end up with a video not to be missed!
One complaint I have, and it is MINOR, is with the ending credits. The video goes from a nice, relaxing, beautiful ending to film clips of Kari and her background exercisers having their hair and makeup done to more upbeat music. It kind of spoils the mood for me. Not a big problem, though--I just shut off the tape before the credits roll. All in all, a tape not to be missed for any Kari fan, and for many other people as well! My copy will NEVER see the exchange!
Instructor Comments:
What can I say about Kari! She is perfectly suited to this video! It suits her creativity, beauty, strength, flexibility and grace. She achieves the balance between encouragement and reassurance. Her form and her cuing are impeccable, as always. Even if you didn't actually do the workout, it would be worth watching just to admire Kari's grace and strength.
I love this video which really surprised me. I was looking for a different flexibility routine. But I don't like power yoga for this purpose because it's too taxing on my legs so I can't relax in some positions even though it does improve flexibility a lot. I also wasn't a great fan of Kari. Her Sweat Express is o.k. but I didn't like Bench Works. After that, I didn't want to buy any more of her tapes. But because of VF, I was curious about this tape. Most reviews were so positive & I figured Collage would let me return it if I didn't like it. Well, I'm not returning it & I'm so grateful to the reviewers. This tape is so beautifully produced. The movements just flow well & is put together so creatively. I really feel concious of every movement. This tape celebrates the beauty of our bodies & the joy of movement. There's some toning but it's not taxing like power yoga. I do the Method & Super Callanetics tapes. These two tapes are effective & I can already tell they work for me. But they are boring. I have to break up the S. Callan. tape just to make it through. This tape is not (one of the reviewers said the same thing). Also the Method & S.Callan. is more toning while ALC is more of a flexibility type training. I'm doing it as an after workout stretch. Now that I like this tape, maybe I'll give Kari another chance. 2 The Max sounded good from the reviews.
Instructor Comments:
Kari is so elegant & classy. She is perfect for this video. You can tell she was a ballerina because she moves so gracefully. But she is not intimadating (sp.?) & is always encouraging you.
I just don't like it. I guess it depends on what you're looking for. I was looking more for a relaxing, stretching, de-stressing type of video and this is more (in my opinion) yoga-like. I've tried some basic yoga and didn't care for that either. I did this workout twice revving myself up for some relaxing stretching with no work involved. This workout involves some work and just wasn't my cup of tea. On the other hand, if you're looking for a yoga-type workout, this seems more along those lines. But if you're not a yoga person, like me, I'd skip it.
Instructor Comments:
Very sweet and likeable
This was an early Christmas present for me and I really like it. It is so different from every other tape I have. While I agree that if you are regularly doing yoga already this may not be much of a challenge, if you aren't, it will be. And, while it incorporates some yoga moves, it's not yoga so it may be more appealing to people who have tried yoga and not liked it. If I had to describe it, I'd say it was sort of dance/yoga inspired (maybe pilates but I've never done that) but I think more approachable than yoga.
Having taken ballet for many years up through college, I found that there were a lot of familiar moves, which is not surprising considering Kari's ballet background. I found the tape very relaxing but also found myself using muscles in a completely different way, which is what she intended.
This tape will definitely have a place in my rotation. It doesn't totally relax me, like some of my yoga tapes, and it's not a tough strenth workout - but I think it would be a great tape to do once a week to challenge my muscles in a different way, and to get some added flexibility training.
Oh, and I love the music!
Instructor Comments:
Kari is encouraging, as usual, and very low-key and relaxing on this tape. Her form pointers are good and she goes at a good pace.
I did this video for the second time last night because I agreed to trade it with someone and wanted to give it one last shot (If I discovered I wanted it after all I was going to drive over to ProRobics and buy a new copy.) The first time I did it was right after I did Advanced Tae Bo so I thought my initial lukewarm respsonse might have been due to exhaustion.
Well I won't be buying another copy and am still puzzled about all of the great reviews. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad tape. Curing's good, set's ok, background exercisers are fine, music's ok (I can't place it, though it's very familiar). But it's not a great tape, either.
My comments:
This might be a good, very gentle workout to be done late at night for relaxation purposes, or maybe when coming back after a tough illness or injury, but I just didn't find it challenging(maybe because I'm used to live yoga classes and Bryan Kest's Power Yoga tapes.) I really tried to focus on form and try to get the most out of every move, but the most challenging part was keeping my feet from slipping out from under me during the triangle (down dog) pose because Kari says to do the workout on carpet but never mentions using a yoga mat for traction (which would actually be in the way during other parts of the workout.)
So for a total beginner or a late at night/gotta-do-something workout, or maybe a first thing in the morning/can't-handle-anything-too-hard workout, or maybe for a post-workout cool down and stretch this might work, otherwise it's totally ho hum. For pilates-style workouts I prefer The Method Precision Toning, and for yoga I prefer Bryan Kest's Power Yoga series.
Instructor Comments:
Kari explains the moves well, and is very serene.
After reading the reviews, I bought this tape as I really enjoy Method Precision Toning and I noticed someone made a comparison between the two without describing it. I wanted to elaborate on this so other readers will have a better understanding about the differences of these two videos. First of all, while I enjoy the incredible stretch I feel after Precision Toning (PT), I have to force myself to do this workout since it is somewhat boring. I did not find this to be the case with ALC. PT takes you through a series of unique crunch-type movements which tone your abs while stretching your back and hamstrings, all of which I believe create length--when you finish this workout you feel taller. In ALC, you will see some of these same movements, but in addition, there are also athletic stretch movements, and yoga inspired movements, together giving you a great all over stretch, but mostly an unbelievable stretch in your leg. ALC stretches your leg muscles using unique poses to reach muscles that typically don't get stretched in exercise video.
I thought ALC was a more motivating tape to do (I don't keep looking at the clock to see how much longer), and like I said, makes your legs feel great, but PT really improves your posture and strengthens your abs, something that I don't feel ALC does. So, while I will do ALC for the leg stretch and because I feel it is relaxing and invigorating at the same time, I will keep PT in the rotation and force myself to do it because I really have noticed an improvement in my posture. I hope this wordy description did not confuse anyone!
This video is about 50 minutes and is NOT an aerobics video, but a "dance inspired" stretch. All the moves are using your body weight and gravity as resistance, along with balance. I've never seen just about any of the moves before (but I never had taken dance classes either). The moves really aren't "dancy", but requires some athletic ability. The workout is divided into approximately 8-10 segments, which last a few minutes each. I like the presentation and find it a "relaxing" workout. I use it after another aerobics tape and do about 15 minutes. While it is both challenging and relaxing, I don't think I could do the whole tape at one time; I thinked my attention span is too short. But, it is a very good addition to my exercise routine (something I really need-I feel I don't stretch enough) and it's a nice, fun way to add stretching to my workouts.
Instructor Comments:
Kari is her spectactular self. Good cueing and LOTS & LOTs of form pointers. She is very encouraging and talks as if you were right there in her class.
This is not like any other workout video on the market. The subtitle on the cover calls it "dance-inspired stretch and body contour." You will tone, stretch, and lengthen all at the same time, which is what the Method tapes do as well, but this is completely different. Kari's tape is more dance-oriented, but there are other differences, too, that I can't really describe. I think this is one of those tapes you just have to see in order to know what it's all about.
While I had a good time doing this, I don't plan to keep it. It's really just not my style. I personally prefer either more stretching or more toning. But I still would have to give this an A.
Instructor Comments:
Kari is just beautiful in this video -- so graceful and elegant.
Kari calls this workout "Special" and it is! This is truly a unique video. There aren't many stretching videos out there to choose from that don't have yoga in them. Finally a beautifully made stretch and strengthen video to use on days when you want to relax.
The music is wonderful. The whole workout is done barefoot.
Kari starts off with a nice warmup with hips shaking and plie's and side reaches. Also some stretches for your calf and hip flexor. Kari makes sure your angle is just right. Kari shows perfect form. You also balance on one leg while the other leg goes back with your arms extended and you go from 45 degrees to 90 degrees. The music on the warm up is very motivating with a nice beat.
Then you go on your hands and knees with some exercises for your back. Cat type stretches. Then you lift your leg out with the opposite arm stretching forward. Then you slide back and forward as you keep parallel to the ground. Then you extend the leg up as high as you can while you bend your elbows down and like a pushup. There are other exercises for your back. The music is from the stretches from CIA 9801. I love this music!
Then there are exercises for your legs while you are sitting up and also laying down. It is a swinging flowing move that is hard to describe but they are fun to do. She also does some neck stretches and outer hip stretches. Kari keeps giving tips to make sure you are doing the move right. The leg exercises didn't seem that hard. They are done slowly and controlled. Nothing like Firm 1!! But I really enjoyed the stretches that Kari does after the toning. Like the pretzal type stretch and then you bring the supporting leg up and curve your back and you feel a nice stretch in your outer hip and hamstring. The music was a nice jazzy song( all the music is instrumental with no vocals).
There is some toning for your glutes and hamstrings lying on your back. It is like a bridge exercise but you use your foot for resistance. Then you raise your leg up in the air and lift it down to make it harder. Then you do a really nice hamstring stretch.
There is nice inner thigh exercise where you lie on your back and bring your legs out and bend your legs but try and bring your feet together, then your knees. Then you do this great inner thigh stretch by bringing your legs out and roll your lower back off the ground while you support yourself with your hands. I felt so much more flexible with each stretch. Then you do some pike stretches with your shoulders off the ground, some quad stretches and others. One is a wonderful lower back stretch that I love where you lay on your back and bring your knee up to your chest and drop it to the side as you look the other way. So nice! The final stretch has wonderful piano music and lit candles. How can anything be more relaxing? You do some more stretches in a straddle position. You can tell Kari was a ballerina since she is so flexible! You also do a nice hamstring stretch and runner's stretch too and a stretch for your calves that is very unique. So Angles, Lines and Curves is toning using your own resistance and also nice stretches too with nice relaxing music.
The set is bright windows covered with nice flowing curtains and soft carpet. It is the same Great Moves set but they have make it much more warm with carpet and beautiful curtains. Kari is wearing a blue leotard.
This is a video that everyone should have!
Instructor Comments:
Beauty and Grace is what describes Kari Anderson. Her sweet gentle cueing is perfect as well as her form. She is so uplifting to workout with. She says,"This is your last one, make it a beauty.." Kari is very encouraging and I felt that she brought a positive warm happy feeling to my home through Angles, Lines and Curves. Thankyou Kari!
"ALC is body art in space..." from the cover of Angles, Lines & Curves
I ordered this from Collage Video and the salesperson was surprised and delighted it was in stock since their new edtion is due next week and there have been numerous request for it. I got it this past Saturday and have done it three times...and will do it when I'm finished writing this review. All day, and even now I'm noticed my posture, my abs and shoulders.
This is the purpose of the video.
It is beautifully produced with soft lighting, muted colors and light jazz and new age music. Kari, as with all of her videos, tells you the outline andf purpose of the video workout. She tells you of her love and enthusiam for "movement training."
Each segment begins with a sepia-tone shot which also shows you the position to be in for the following group of exercises.
The warm-up begins with deep breaths and plies. There is stretching and balancing all throughout the workout. While on all fours, you'll do the cat stretch to loosen the back and very slow and controlled leg kicks that also require using all the muscles to stablize yourself while touching your forehead to the floor. Some moves are Pilates-based such as the front support or plank position. Later in the video you go from a front suport to a triangle (call it downward facing dog if you will) then back to plank. Then you do it while creating a straight line from head to toe while coming up on one leg then returning to front support.
You'll stretch your hamstrings while on your back. However, if you know Kari, it will develope into something more pike position, very controlled lifts that will remind you that you actually have quads and some Pilates-like stomach curls. (Feel that curve!))
Some of the side-lying exercises consist of legs at a 45o angle (there's that word again) in which you open your legs like a clam shell followed by very slow and precise side leg lifts. Your arm moves parallel to the working leg.
Breathing is important and she reminds you to breath constantly.
I know many video exercisers prefer high energy workouts and a movement video like this may not be their cup of Tazo. But movement training is important so if you're the high energy type you may want a martial arts video. I've noticed within the last few years that quite a few movement and mind-body videos have come out. Many of the top video instructors are now in their late 30s early 40s (the younger disco era baby boomers like me).
Many have been fit most of their lives, other, Victoria Johnson for example, became fit in adulthood. Movement training and weight training is important to keep the joints loose and muscles strong. That five minute warmup and cool down won't make it. On the up and up Charlene Prickett is in her 50s and still does mid and high impact aeorobics and she didn't sustain that level of fitness by being foolish. Also notice that dancers and martial artists maintain their bodies throughtout their lives while most athletes seem to loose the exceptional fitness of their youth. So get this video and work that body!
Instructor Comments:
Kari has a reputation for being the most creative choreographer on video and the most graceful. And she is. No one moves as effortlessly as she does. Cathe and Gin are very "athletic" people and Karen Voight is a cross between the two. Kari is tall and has the ideal ectomorphic body of a ballerina without being anorexic. She really can teach. You don't have to feel intimidated. She won't let you. She's very encouraging to watch and listen to.
This tape starts out with a standing warm up and stretch routine with some nice side stretches and lower body stretching plus you do a balancing pose found in yoga. The next section is done on the floor on all fours focusing on stretching and strengthening your back plus some lowerbody moves to elongate the muscles. The next section concentrates on outer thigh stretching and lowerbody strengthing, alot of the moves require strength and balance and you focus on using your abs throughout the whole tape. The next section is lowerbody strengthening. You lay on your side and raise and lower your top leg but it is done with slow controlled movements, then you straighten the top leg and raise and lower it but again very slowly. After you do that on both sides you do some ab work and lower back stretches followed by an outer thigh stretch done on both sides. Then you do quadracep work, this is very hard when you are sitting up very straight and concentrating on your abs. The next section is different variations of bridge work. This is hard even though you don't use any weights, I was very surprised! Then you go into some nice hamstring stretches. The next section focuses on inner thigh work laying on your back. Like Kari says, technique is everything in order to get the benefits of each exercise. Then you do more stretching, inner thigh, quadracep and hamstring and then you do a really nice chest stretch. The last section starts with ab roll ups, very slow and controlled and then you go into more stretches. Inner thigh, side stretches and back stretches. Next comes some yoga moves, downward facing dog, going down into plank pose then you do a move where you raise one leg up as you go back into downdog so you are elongating your whole body, very tough! Next are more stretches for you legs and then a standing side stretch and a standing outer thigh stretch that feels great!!! This is a great workout and like kari mentions through out the workout, always know where your abs are!!!!
Instructor Comments:
What can I say except that Kari is wonderful as usual in this tape. Kari loves to dance and it shows. She is very graceful in her movements and really motivating.
I love this workout, though it's one of the more difficult videos I've ever tried to describe. Previous reviewers have done a pretty good job of describing the exercises, so I'll include my own impressions here. Many of the movements in ALC are clearly inspired by yoga and Pilates, designed to develop core strength, grace, balance, and flexibility, yet the finished product is unlike anything else I've done.
The set is lovely--I especially enjoyed the candlelight at the end. The music is quiet and relaxing. Unlike Kari's other Great Moves videos, she is joined in ALC by a handful of other exercisers, who are all fit but represent a wide variety of body types. All of the production elements are simply excellent.
I think this video would be a wise choice if you're looking for a relaxing workout that will improve core strength and flexibility. Those who aren't yoga fans and who want something more than just a stretch video should definitely try it. If you're looking for a challenging flexibility tape, ALC is not as difficult as most yoga videos, but that wasn't really Kari's goal. This is a video about integrated movement, about training the body to work together in harmony. I'm frequently surprised to find I'm a little sore after doing this entire workout. Though it doesn't seem difficult, it's more challenging than you think.
Like Samantha, I found this video much more interesting than the Method videos, yet ALC left me with the same strong, tall feeling afterwards. I have been enjoying this workout throughout my pregnancy (I'm currently 5 months along)--there are relatively few modifications I need to make. Like Germaine, I find it very easy to break this tape down into several shorter workouts if I only have a short amount of time or if I want to use ALC after a cardio workout.
I highly recommend this video, and am anxious to see what Kari might come up with next. She just seems to get better and better all the time, respecting current trends while staying true to her exceptionally creative self.

For Yankees, parting with Jeter easy; replacing him hard
One of the New York Yankees' most important questions has been answered:
"What are we going to do with this guy?
Answered twice in a week, as a matter of fact -- the most recent instance being Derek Jeter's announcement Wednesday that this season will be his last.
That might seem a harsh reaction to finding out an icon of the game is retiring. But the reality of competing and winning in New York is just as harsh.
Alex Rodriguez is gone, for at least this season, as are his threats to crash camp and to pursue lawsuits that didn't discriminate between whether your pinstripes are on baseball uniforms or three-piece suits.
NIGHTENGALE:Jeter keeps it on his terms once again
Now, Jeter is going. While certainly not in the same universe as the A-Rod issues, the captain's future always has threatened to have one thing in common for the Yankees – that question:
"What are we going to do with this guy?"
The end game is settled, but not exactly how we get to that point or if the very end game of a 20-year career is the fairytale setting of a World Series game in Yankee Stadium.
Gone is the concern over what would happen after this, the final year of Jeter's contract. The last such discussion got a bit contentious but ended in the three-year, $51 million compromise between overpaying for expected performance and honoring services already rendered.
The next one would have been more difficult.
But there is one remaining bit of potential awkwardness, should it become apparent it's in the Yankees' best interest that Jeter not play shortstop every day. That could mean his performance isn't up to championship caliber shortstop. Or, it could mean there's reason to broach moving Jeter from the only position he's known.
Would they dare consider – especially if his rehabbed legs are a lingering issue – looking at third base? After all, the position that Cal Ripken (not to mention Rodriguez) moved to remains a concern for the Yankees heading into a second season.
SWAN SONG:2014 is it for Jeter
Don't forget, during what becomes a second summer of celebration for a Yankees star after last year's Mariano Rivera victory tour (OK, gifts made out of broken bats might not be so appropriate this time), that the team has been restocked to win.
The Yankees justifiably tell us Jeter deserves to go out on his terms. If those are the terms of excellence he envisions, no problem.
The additions of Masahiro Tanaka, Jacoby Ellsbury, Carlos Beltran and Brian McCann are crucial to the Yankees climbing back into at least a playoff spot if not the top of the AL East.
But giving Jeter the opportunity to go out a winner depends just as much on the incumbent Yankees who weren't major contributors last season.
And that starts with Jeter, very much among those who must bounce back for the Yankees to catch the Red Sox and Rays.
Mark Teixeira was limited to 15 games and a .151 batting average and must be an offensive force again.
CC Sabathia had the worst season of his career and needs to be at least a co-ace with Tanaka.
David Robertson must be a somewhat reasonable facsimile of Rivera.
And anything above last year's non-existent third base production would go a long way,
As Jeter says of his on-again, mostly-off-again 17-game 2013, "Quite honestly, I want to forget about it."
It all goes back to breaking his left ankle during the 2012 AL championship series. He played in just five spring training games last year and broke the ankle again in April during rehabilitation.
He missed the first 91 games of the 2013 season, then felt pain his right quadriceps when he returned July 11. He went back on the DL, returned July 28 for three games, then strained his right calf.
Back in the lineup on Aug. 26, he played through Sept. 7, when he left for a pinch runner after singling against Boston.
Four days later the Yankees said his season was over: 12-for-63 (.190) with one homer and seven RBI.
TRIBUTES:Peers weigh in on icon's pending exit
Part of the undercurrent debates over Jeter's fading or at least increasingly uneven skills even before the injuries was the lack of an heir apparent. That became painfully obvious last season as the entire left side of the Yankees infield became an offensive wasteland.
There hasn't been anyone approaching an heir apparent in the Yankees system since Alfonso Soriano – ironically back on the roster as a 38-year-old outfielder – was a minor leaguer. And did the Yankees really believe Soriano could take over back then or was that proclamation merely part of the negotiation process?
That's back in the days when an arbitration-eligible Jeter was angling for a long-term deal, which eventually became a 10-year, $189 million contract before the 2001 season.
Things went swimmingly until that ran out and Jeter's current contract was hashed out with a bit of ego tossed around on both sides.
There's still no heir.
Current fallback options are limited: Eduardo Nunez, a Yankees reserve the past five seasons; or Brendan Ryan, a 31-year-old who's started for St. Louis and Seattle but has a career batting average of .237 and slugging percentage of .320.
Count on an upgrade before Opening Day 2015. Could it be sooner if the right opportunity arises?
At first glance, potential trades are more appealing than free agency, especially because trades could allow the Yankees to grab a young talent.
The Cubs have Starlin Castro, 23, at shortstop and coveted prospect Javier Baez coming fast, not to mention another solid prospect in Arismendy Alcantara.
Arizona thinks rookie Chris Owings is ready to take over, a year after the Diamondbacks traded for and started rookie Didi Gregorius.
Oakland has Addison Russell on the verge of the majors but Jed Lowrie is in his way. Lowrie is a free agent after this year.
The rest of that free agent class isn't overwhelming beyond Hanley Ramirez of the Dodgers who, on the same day Jeter announced his retirement, proclaimed he would like nothing better than to remain in Los Angeles.
From there, the free agents quickly get less inspiring. Baltimore's J.J. Hardy is a possibility. There's Asdrubal Cabrera, who if he doesn't pick up the pace in Cleveland this season, could be pushed aside ahead of schedule by prospect Francisco Lindor.
And there's Stephen Drew, still unsigned this year after playing for the Red Sox's World Series winners in 2013.
Hey, A-Rod will be back next year, right? (Just kidding, at least about the shortstop part.)
For now, Jeter holds the key to so much. His legacy certainly is safe. He'll reap the rewards as he becomes the last Yankee to wear a single-digit uniform number.
His 2 and the 6 last worn by Joe Torre are the only ones not already on the wall in Monument Park. General manager Brian Cashman has said Torre will be similarly honored at some point and the number will remain in limbo until then.
Jeter – well, obviously.
It's all falling nicely into place for a certain Hall of Famer and his only baseball employers – except that one other question:
Do they really have enough to give their captain a sixth World Series title?

ROSSLYN, Va. - NEMA, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, has released TC 13-2000, Electrical Nonmetallic Tubing (ENT). This standard is for electrical nonmetallic tubing (ENT) and fittings for use within a building in both concealed and exposed applications and encased in concrete as per the National Electrical Code, Article 331 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.
The standard lists dimensions and other physical requirements and describes some of the properties of both tubing and fittings. The standard is also said to help the user select and obtain the proper product for a particular need.
"TC 13 is a voluntary standard created by manufacturers of electrical nonmetallic tubing," said David Kendall, director of industry affairs at Carlon/Lamson & Sessions, Cleveland. "TC 13 allows end-users, such as utilities, to review dimensional requirements, material properties and physical characteristics of electrical nonmetallic tubing. TC 13 may be referenced by the end-user or design engineer within the construction specifications and is harmonized with the Bi-National Standard UL1653/C22.2 No. 227.1-97, which is published by both Underwriter Laboratories, Inc. and CSA International."
TC 13-2000 may be purchased for $38 by contacting Global Engineering Documents at (800) 854-7179 (within the U.S.); (303) 397-7956 (international); (303) 397-2740 (fax) or on www.global.ihs.com.

Go outside and play.
That's what the guy with the big pearly smile would have wanted.
And that charismatic guy, Larry Ingalls, has a foundation to make it happen.
Outdoor Youth Connections carries on the legacy of the avid mountain climber who died in a 300-foot fall on Lewis Peak in 2006.
Started by his widow, Sandra, and several fellow Everett Mountaineers, the nonprofit foundation donates money to programs for youths to hike, camp, canoe and explore life beyond the playground.
"I was determined to have his spirit live on," Sandra Ingalls said. "We are at a crisis stage where people live in apartments and condos and are tied to video games. You really need to start influencing them at a young age to create that interest to embrace nature, not only to protect it but to enjoy it."
She said it reflects the motto written, and often expressed, by her late husband: "Revel in the accomplishment. Know the beauty and solitude of the mountains. Experience the joy of the comradeship. Find my spirit here."
The foundation's annual wine tasting and auction fundraiser will be held March 3 at Rosehill Community Center in Mukilteo.
Outdoor Youth Connections funds youth in need and projects that fit with the mission to connect them with nature and outdoor adventures.
"One of our first awards was to two children for gear to go snowshoeing and for warm clothing," Sandra Ingalls said.
Another award was for a teen to take a Mountaineer climbing course.
Recent contributions went for a teacher to take a class on an ecological field trip and toward camp scholarships at North Cascades Institute.
The institute's Youth Leadership Adventures camp is the first wilderness experience for many teens.
Campers carry basics into the backcountry. No cellphones, videos games or iPods.
They bathe in lakes, sleep in tents, cook over fire and are up at 6 a.m. Breakfast is oatmeal. Bathrooms are starlit.
"It turned my black-and-white life into a rainbow," wrote Jinyanzi Luo of Seattle.
Another Seattle teen, Laura Gillespie, wrote: "I experienced the beauty of nature first-hand while learning about its fragility. … I've always known that we're all supposed to be 'eco-friendly.' But it wasn't until this trip that I started to take this idea personally."
The campers also do service projects.
Most importantly, they are exposed to a world outside their comfort zone, and that's the goal of Outdoor Youth Connections.
"It lights them on fire to get down and dirty and really embrace nature," Sandra Ingalls said.
"We want this to be a life-changing event they will carry with them in whatever endeavor they do."
And with that, they carry on a bit of Larry Ingalls' passion.
"We all need this," she said. "Not just children."
Wine tasting
The Outdoor Youth Connections wine-tasting fundraiser, including hors d'oeuvres, music and a silent auction, begins at 3 p.m. March 3 at Rosehill Community Center, 304 Lincoln Ave., Mukilteo.
Cost: $35 per person or $60 a couple.
More info: www.outdooryouthconnections.org.
Youth Leadership Adventures
The summer camp in the North Cascades is for teens ages 14 to 18 from Washington and Oregon with no outdoor experience.
During 8- and 15-day expeditions, students canoe, camp, backpack and complete service projects. Gear, food and transportation (from Everett and other sites) is provided.
About 80 percent of participants receive a full or partial scholarship for the camps, which cost $985 to $1,845.
Scholarship application deadline is April 1.
More info: www.ncascades.org/youth.
Everett Mountaineers
Training and trips for hiking, canoeing, snowshoeing and other outdoor recreation. For more information: www.everettmountaineers.org.

Every New Year brings a raft of predictions and resolutions. But predictions never come true, and resolutions are typically broken within three days of their swearing in. What you're really looking for in 2010 is hope, the hope that the New Year will be better – far better – than the crummy year that preceded it. You're not sure if it will be a better year, but at least your slate is now clean and perhaps things will go up from here on out. I know I feel this way. Just last year, I was laid off, suffered a back injury, was forced to attend traffic court, and was again arrested for stalking Emily Deschanel. It hardly seems fair. SHE'S SO PRETTY!
With that in mind, and excluding the obvious choices of good health and personal success, here now are 10 genuine hopes for the New Year:
1. Nothing blows up.
In real life, anyway. On 24? Whole other story.
2. You see personal evidence of a better economy, and not simply hear from the media that it's getting better.
What's that? Still out of a job? Well, the media can assure you, the economy is finally doing much better. Oh, the success won't be measured in actual JOBS and stuff. In fact, chances are the age of permanent, full-time employment is over, and we'll all be temping by 2012. But the banks are doing well again! WHEE!!! My hope is that the supposed economic turnaround actually manifests itself in, you know, GOOD things.
3. A fully successful revolution in Iran.
You mean there's a war in the Middle East, and WE don't have to do anything?
4. People continue to find new applications for bacon.
You already know about the Bacon Explosion, Baconnaise, and Bacon Salt. My hope is that 2010 brings us the Starbucks Baconiatto, microbrewed bacon-flavored ale from Oregon, and buckets of bacon strips sold at movie theaters, preferably free with your ticket to Avatar.
5. The flying hoverboard is finally invented.
By far the biggest letdown of the 00's was when entrepreneur Dean Kamen revealed to the world that he had patented an invention called IT that would revolutionize the world, and it turned out to be a scooter that made anyone standing upon it look about as cool as Paul Blart. I wanted a hoverboard, Kamen. Don't tease us with the prospect of a whole new world and then give us the Segway. You monster.
6. The Hurt Locker wins Best Picture.
It's a great action movie, and everyone who saw it thought it was insanely good, yet it made no money. And the whole Iraq part of the reasoning doesn't wash because The Kingdom made $50 million. Nothing makes sense.
7. Twitter finds a way to let you use bold and italics.
It's the world's fasting growing social network, yet they can't find a way to make my tweets slanty? Pathetic.
8. More sex scandals, please.
Will we top 2009's harvest of Tiger Woods, David Letterman, Mark Sanford, and more? It's gonna take some big, big names. We can hope.
9. The cost of college tuition falls.
It'll cost you upwards of $150,000 to send your kid to a decent school for four years to drink and go months at a time without doing laundry. Seriously, who can afford this? It's insane. Every child will be attending the University of Phoenix online within a decade.
10. Aliens finally land, bringing a clean, renewable energy source with them.
And cool new weaponry. New weapons would be great.

Court: Lawyers overbilled mentally ill Iowa veteran
The Iowa Supreme Court has suspended two lawyers for charging excessive fees to a mentally ill Vietnam veteran whose affairs they helped manage for three decades.
The court said Keota law partners Donald Laing and Scott Railsback claimed too many hours for managing the conservatorship of John Klein and charged excessive rates for performing services that didn't require legal training.
Justices suspended the licenses of Laing and Railsback for 18 months.
Laing was appointed Klein's conservator in 1974 after Klein inherited farmland and other property from his mother's death. He didn't have a legal guardian, and Laing and Railsback helped care for him.
The court says the attorneys "sincerely attempted to make Klein's life better" but went wrong in applying for excessive fees, even if a judge approved them annually.

Volkswagen Television Advertising
For a piece of pop culture on wheels, you can't go past the Volkswagen. I grew up in a family of 8 kids. We had a 1955 Chevrolet. But for the older siblings getting to school it was the Volkswagen Kombi van. And so I have a soft spot for Volkswagen. Here's a selection of Volkswgen television commercials featured on The Inspiration Room.
Volkswagen has its origins in 1933 when Adolf Hitler asked Porsche to redesign their vehicle for the common people. With the arrival of war the factory in KdF-Stadt was used to manufacture the Type 81 Kübelwagen ("Bucket car") utility vehicle and the amphibious Schwimmwagen for the German forces. After WWII KdF-Stadt was renamed Wolfsburg and the factory became a key factor in the rebuilding of West Germany. With the help of New York advertising agency DDB (Doyle Dane Bernbach), the Volkswagen soared into worldwide popularity. Ads designed by art director Helmut Krone and copywriters Julian Koenig and Bob Levinson entered popular culture along with what was to become known as the Beetle or Bug.
Two classic print advertisements from this era are "Think Small", championing the benefits of a small car, and "Lemon", promoting the quality control processes of Volkswagen.
"The Volkswagen missed the boat. The chrome strip on the glove compartment is blemished and must be replaced. Chances are you wouldn't have noticed it; Inspector Kurt Kroner did. There are 3,389 men of our Wolfsburg factory with only one job; to inspect Volkswagens at each stage of production. (3,00 Volkswagens are produced daily; there are more inspectors than cars.) Every shock absorber is tested (spot checking won't do), every windshield is scanned. VWs have been rejected for surface scratches barely visible to the eye. Final inspection is really something! VW inspectors run each car off the line onto the Funktionsprüfstand (car test stand), tote up 189 check points, gun ahead to the automatic brake stand and say "no" to one VW out of fifty. This preoccupation with detail means the VW lasts longer and requires less maintenance, by and large, than other cars. (It also means a used VW depreciates less than any other car.) We pluck the lemons; you get the plums."
Volkswagen currently uses the tag line, "Das Auto", translated in English as "The Car". The previous tag line was Aus Liebe zum Automobil (For Love of the Car).

My goal as a Wikitraveller is to channel other contributors' exuberance and knowledge to best meet our goals. With technology, community guidelines and policy, and day-to-day copyediting and re-structuring, I want to optimize the impact of Wikitravellers' efforts, and shorten the distance between editors and readers.
About me
In 2001 I got a generous layoff package from RSA Security and took the opportunity to quit the expensive hurly-burly SF lifestyle. I piled my belongings into the back of my beloved 1972 Citroen DS and spent the next 6 months alone driving around Canada, the United States, and Mexico. I eventually settled in Montreal to write my first novel (still unfinished), then joined Maj in Geneva for a round-the-world trip including touring Southeast Asia and living in Lisbon for a season. We returned to Montreal in July 2003 for Maj to start graduate school at McGill University, and as a side-project started Wikitravel.
A year later, we were married on the platform of the Biosphère in Montreal. Today, we're still living in Montreal, parents of a beautiful 2-year-old girl named Amita June. I work on Wikitravel full time doing development and system administration, and try to find time to write.
