When most exercisers think of core training, they think of a few exercises. Sit ups and crunches first, then maybe planks and "that machine that works your abs." Why? Well first of all they are the most recognizable, easiest to learn (or to learn incorrectly), and are supposed to give you a six-pack. Do they actually work? Sure, but how they're incorporated into a resistance training program makes all the difference.
Before we start talking how to incorporate and what other exercises to do, let's talk a little anatomy and what the core actually is. When I think core, I think the trunk; or the shoulders to the hips. Somewhere in this area is our center of gravity and most of our balance, coordination, and muscular control comes from the core. So how do crunches help all those things improve? By themselves they don't. Remember, training is always domain specific. Loads of sit ups will make you fantastic at sit ups. An all-around training regimen will help get you all the benefits of core work. All around core training means moving in multiple plains of motion as well as flexion and extension. Working five different ways is the best idea for an all-around strong core.
Training our deep muscles first is the best way to develop a strong base and prevent back injury. Our transverse abdominal muscle is our most deep core muscle, acting as a natural weight lifting belt. The TA is responsible for compressing and supporting the abdomen and you can activate it by drawing the belly button into the spine. The best exercise to train the TA is a plank, however you should be trying to activate it with every exercise you do. I often tell my clients, that someone who does a ton of abs work will have strong abs, but someone who does a ton of squats will have strong legs, a strong back, and strong abs. So practice activating the transverse abdominus with every exercise you do and you'll be stronger, more balanced, and safer in all those exercises.
The next step to an ultra-strong core is trunk extension (if you're lying on your stomach, extension would be lifting your chest off the ground). Our muscles work in an agonist, antagonist relationship around our joints (for instance our biceps flex our elbow while our triceps extend it), so if you're only focusing on forward bending movements like sit ups, you will always be bending forward and eventually injure your lower back (from constantly being stretched). So trunk extension is a key movement to protect our backs, improve posture, and make all the hard work on the abs pay off aesthetically (if you're always bending forward no one can see your abs). The erector spinae muscles are the primary muscles responsible for extension throughout the entire back and they also assist in side bending and rotation. If you have a healthy back the best way to train these muscles is in their primary movement pattern, extension of the trunk. The most common way to train the erector spinae is back hyperextensions on the roman chair (the machine that anchors the feet and allows you to bend your head to the ground), however if your back isn't already strong I would recommend starting from the ground. Start by laying on your stomach on a mat, place your hands (palms up) by your sides and have your feet and knees on the ground (keep the feet and knees on the ground the entire exercise). Start by tightening your transverse abdominus, gluteus (butt muscles), and pinching your shoulder blades together. Then slowly and controlled, lift your chest a few inches off the ground, hold for one second, and then slowly return to your starting position. You should feel the lower back muscles working, but they shouldn't feel any pain.
Now we'll get into the more common type core exercises. Our bodies move in three planes of motion; sagittal (bending front and back), transverse (rotational), and frontal (side bending). We need to train in all three planes to ensure balance and strength. Let's start with sagittal plane motion. This is our sit ups/crunches plane. When we work in the sagittal plane the main muscle working is our rectus abdominus (the six-pack muscle). The rectus abdominus is responsible for trunk flexion so it's the antagonist to the erector spinae. A sit up is the best exercise to train the rectus abdominus because it works through a full range of motion. A crunch is a reduced range of motion exercise and is actually the first movement performed when doing a full, correct sit up. To make sure you're sitting up correctly you should be trying to bring the bottom of your ribs to your hips, flexing almost right through your belly button. All too often the sit up is performed by flexing the hips meaning the trunk stays flat and the abs get no work. Always work on exercising through a full range of motion, especially in the core. There is no such thing as the upper or lower abs so smaller core movements lead to smaller results.
The next plane of motion is the transverse plane or our rotational plane. An exercise that falls into this category is anything that twists from the hips and shoulders, think swinging a baseball bat or a golf club. Transverse plane exercises are performed by a plethora of muscles, but the most commonly known muscle are the obliques. The erector spinae also aids in twisting, so if your back isn't strong enough to work in extension yet, try starting out with rotational movements. Using pulleys, resistance bands, or medicine balls are great ways to add resistance to any rotational movement. Rotational movement is also important to staying flexible and functional. Many everyday movements require a combination of flexion/extension and rotation, and are how the back if often injured. Stay strong in your transverse plane and the chances of hurting your back drops significantly.
The last plane is our frontal or side bending plane. The same muscles responsible for rotation are also responsible for side bending but it's important to keep flexible by training in both planes. Any movement where you bend laterally away from the midline of your body is a frontal plane movement. As with rotation, training in this plane keeps you functional and reduces the likelihood of back injury. Side planks are a fantastic way to train this movement pattern.
Those are the five ways that you should be moving to effectively train the core. Remember, when training the core always protect the back by engaging the transverse abdominus and always move in a complete range of motion. The best athletes (or people with the best abs in this case) always train in a multitude of ways, so I would recommend a comprehensive resistance training, cardiovascular, and flexibility program to really have a strong core (and to be strong everywhere else). When you're in the gym, always talk to the trainers to get other ideas on how to train, or to put these ideas into full effect. Always consult your physician before starting any type of exercise program.

Nissan partners with Bhutan on national EV strategy
THIMPHU, Bhutan - An electric revolution has begun in Bhutan.
The remote Himalayan country, renowned for championing "Gross National Happiness," has taken first steps towards becoming a leading global electric-vehicle nation.
Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay and Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn announced a partnership in Thimphu today, which will see both parties work toward achieving Bhutan's ambitious clean-energy goals.
"We will develop a program," said Tobgay who has backed the EV project since taking office in July last year. "We will commit to a program to achieve zero emissions as a nation by a certain target date. We cannot go on this journey ourselves. We need the world to travel with us, and what better partner than to have the Nissan LEAF help us along this journey."
Nissan, the global leader in zero-emission vehicles, will build on its EV expertise to electrify the country's fleet and help Bhutan develop its charging infrastructure.
"There is a lot of courage, a lot of will, a lot of vision behind the Prime Minister of Bhutan's positioning on the electric car, and I feel good about supporting this," said Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn. "Obviously, it's within the interests of Nissan because we have our own interests here. But I think this can create a lot of other examples in the future and hopefully Bhutan can become a showcase."
Bhutan, rich in renewable hydro-electricity, has a strong environmental - and economic - case for EVs.
The country currently only uses 5% of the clean power it produces, exporting the majority to India. But almost all of the revenue earned from selling electricity is spent on fuel imported from India to run the nation's existing vehicles, which number some 36,000 vehicles in Thimphu alone.
Reducing oil imports with this EV project will also free up finances that can be used elsewhere. Starting with two Nissan LEAF EVs presented today (the King of Bhutan's birthday), Nissan will supply more electric vehicles and quick chargers with local distributor Thunder Motors - with the government's fleet first to make the transition to zero-emissions motoring.
The LEAF stands out in Thimphu today, but with the partnership underway many more will be on the roads of Bhutan before long.

Preview: Game #6 Leafs @ Sabres
Cam Charron
January 29 2013 02:00PM
The hilarious thing is that Mike Komisarek suffered a freak injury doing "something he regrets" according to Randy Carlyle.
Carlyle wouldn't elaborate on how Komisarek suffered his injury, but said it was doing something he regrets.— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) January 29, 2013
The not-so hilarious thing is that apparently his injury involved a fibreglass shard to the eye, which seems like it would hurt a lot. The other not-so hilarious thing is that Mike Komisarek is one of the five legitimate NHLers the Maple Leafs have on defence. Komisarek has been useful on the penalty kill this season, on a team of defencemen that don't have an awful lot of experience playing the penalty kill.
The Leafs lineup isn't yet set, and isn't exactly known which defenceman will take Komisarek's spot, but Jake Gardiner was recalled from the Toronto Marlies earlier today and will be a "game-time decision". Hopefully, both Gardiner and Franson will slot into the lineup at the expense of Mark Fraser, Gardiner can play limited offensive minutes with Marlies defensive partner Mike Kostka, and the Leafs can return Dion Phaneuf to his comfort zone alongside Carl Gunnarsson. The Leafs may need a five-man checking unit tonight.
The opponent, the Buffalo Sabres, a 2-3 squad, same as the Leafs, and they've dropped all three games since starting the year 2-0, which sounds worse when you learn that all three defeats came within the Southeast Division.
Buffalo has had one line that has been a consistent scoring threat all year. Jason Pominville-Cody Hodgson-Thomas Vanek ate up the Leafs during Toronto's home opener. Vanek has been on the ice for 11 of Buffalo's 13 goals, while Hodgson and Pominville have each been on for nine. The reason that line is a key, key matchup is that they've been just as bad defensively as they've been good offensively—Pominville and Hodgson are both minus-players. While plus/minus doesn't mean a whole heck of a lot, especially this early in the season, I find it funny that these players have combined for such an elevated on-ice shooting rate, yet their PDOs are below 1000.
Despite missing the game against the Capitals, Thomas Vanek will be back in the lineup tonight.
It's unreal. Lindy Ruff doesn't zone match his players, so the Leafs are going to have to be extra careful without the last change if they're going to insist on matching Mikhail Grabovski and Nik Kulemin against the Sabres' top line. It's also critical that Vanek doesn't get to play too many shifts without either Carl Gunnarsson or Dion Phaneuf staring him down.
Broadcast Info:
Puck Drop: 7 PM PST
TV: Leafs TV
In their first encounter, Buffalo beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1, but thanks to a slew of first period power plays and playing the third period from behind, and quite recklessly, Toronto actually got more scoring chances than Buffalo at 20-9.
Since then, the Sabres have been on a bit of a downward spiral. They lost 6-3 to Carolina, 3-1 again to Carolina, and 3-2 to Washington on national television Sunday afternoon. Like the Leafs, they haven't shown an ability to be a good puck-possession club yet, with a Fenwick Tied rate of 48.2%, similar to where they were last season.
Toronto hasn't exactly improved in that department, but I don't think that optimism rings as high in Toronto as it does for Buffalo. The Sabres appear to be attempting some sort of rebuild on the fly, trying to become a "tough" team with the additions this season of Steve Ott and giving Marcus Foligno a regular shift. They drafted an NHL-ready centreman in Mikhail Grigorenko, but are playing him against toughs with Jochen Hecht and Steve Ott.
Here's how the Sabres lineup stacks up, as best I can tell:
Thomas Vanek - Cody Hodgson - Jason Pominville
Marcus Foligno - Tyler Ennis - Drew Stafford
Steve Ott - Mikhail Grigorenko - Jochen Hecht
I can't find any details of what the fourth line will be like, but they play about four minutes a game, so it shouldn't be too consequential.
On defence, Robyn Regehr injured his foot, so it looks like Mike Weber will get his first action of the young season.
Jordan Leopold - Andrej Sekera
Mike Weber - Tyler Myers
Christian Ehrhoff - Alexander Sulzer
Ryan Miller
Jhonas Enroth
I'll admit I don't know where Weber will fall in, but his only common playing partner last season was Regehr, who is unavailable. That injury will break up the Sabres' second pairing, and I imagine they won't throw Weber to the wolves against Phil Kessel. That may mean Nazem Kadri spends some time against Tyler Myers tonight, and given that Kadri's line has been "better" offensively than Kessel's if you look at goal total alone, that may be the matchup the Sabres would want to shut him down.
For Toronto, Clarke MacArthur is out along with Mike Komisarek for tonight. It sounds like James van Riemsdyk will move up to the top line with Kessel and Bozak, while Jay McClement will slot in next to Grabovski and Kulemin. That's a line that's been used as a third period shutdown unit for Toronto, and McClement-Kulemin kill penalties together so it's not a huge shift in personnel. This will be the first time van Riemsdyk gets significant minutes with Kessel.
@67sound I believe it's McClement on one of the top two lines.— James Mirtle (@mirtle) January 29, 2013
Dave Steckel will draw into the lineup between Colton Orr and Mike Brown. That at least gives Carlyle a secondary penalty killing option at centre, and hopefully he won't keep going back to Tyler Bozak, who is on the "still dreadful" half of the Leafs' penalty-kill.
Ryan Miller for Buffalo, who was the first star last time around. James Reimer gets his first start tonight against a that isn't favoured to win the Eastern Conference.

Three big nights of rodeo action concluded on Saturday as the Desertview ProRodeo came to town for the 11th consecutive year.
The finest cowboys and cowgirls competed in bareback, saddlebronc, steer wrestling, team roping, tie down roping, barrels and bull riding. Speciality events included the watermelon crawl, wild cow milking and the Dodge truck horse shoe throwing contest.
Cody Sosebee was the rodeo clown at the event all three nights.
Blake Goode and his speciality act where he rode his Brahma bulls around the ring and jumped the bulls through a ring of fire was a big hit. The hide race in its second year was a popular event. Thursday night was cancer awareness night and Lorna Jensen won the tickets to the National Rodeo Finals in Las Vegas and a nights stay at the South Point Hotel and Casino where the cowboys stay while at the finals. Rodeo results, wild cow milking and hide race will be in the next issue of the Emery County Progress on Aug. 11.

TALLADEGA, Ala. — Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson escaped Talladega Superspeedway with their championship hopes intact, but both drivers were mystified by the way Sunday's final laps unfolded.
Instead of multiple lines of cars coming to the checkered flag, the front-running drivers stayed in a single-file line until Austin Dillon tried to make a move and crashed on the final lap.
That was in stark contrast to the rest of the race, which was an intense 2 hours and 47 minutes of three-wide and four-wide racing.
WINNER: McMurray holds off Junior for victory
DILLON: Goes on wild ride in last-lap crash
Johnson — who finished 13th to take the Chase for the Sprint Cup lead from Kenseth — said he was "really shocked nobody wanted to go racing."
And after falling four points behind Johnson with a 20th-place finish, Kenseth said he was "actually dumbfounded why everybody just rode."
"I thought we'd get enough cars in there to try to make a run back toward the front and mix it up for the win," Kenseth said. "I thought that's what we were here to do, and that's what I was trying to do. It just didn't work out."
Kenseth, who won this race last year after Tony Stewart started a 25-car pileup on the final lap, has nine top-10s in 28 starts here. He had said before the race his plan was to run up front as much as possible instead of laying back to avoid possible trouble and protect his points lead.
PHOTOS: Matt Kenseth through the years
With 15 laps to go, Johnson said a couple cars suddenly made a move to the top side of the track. Most of the other leaders piled in behind them.
Kenseth could have finished around 10th place in that scenario, but he pushed thoughts of the points race out of his head and decided to go for a win instead. When he ducked out of line, though, there weren't enough cars to come with him. Meanwhile, those in the top line looked at Kenseth and his allies as an opportunity to gain one or two more positions.
"Discouraging," he said. "I should have been smarter and I guess rode like everyone else did, half-throttle up on the top to the finish there. … I couldn't believe nobody even tried."
Johnson said he sensed there was movement to the high line, so he was forced to "jump up there and get in line and salvage what I could at that point." He later realized race-winner Jamie McMurray and runner-up Dale Earnhardt Jr. are among the drivers who prefer to run and defend the high line, while Johnson won both races at Daytona International Speedway this year using the lower lane.

"It's no fun when it does that, but it's the nature of plate racing," Johnson said. "You don't know where the place to be is or which lane to be in."
So why weren't more drivers willing to make the move? It could have had something to do with the points race or even the reluctance to find themselves in Talladega's infamous "Big One."
WATCH: Memorable wrecks at Talladega
"We were able to make the bottom lane work often," Johnson said. "I don't know why guys didn't try to do it. I guess everybody just wanted to finish for the most part."
As for the points race? Johnson said his result was "the best 13th I've ever had" because he gained positions on Chase contenders Kenseth and Jeff Gordon and finished only one spot behind Kevin Harvick.
Now the playoff moves to Martinsville Speedway, where Johnson leads all active drivers with eight wins in 23 starts.
"Excited to go racing," Johnson said of the final four events. "We come out of here with a straight race car and a decent finish. It isn't the best, but mission accomplished. We had a good day."

Presidential Speech Archive American President: A Reference Resource Presidential Recordings Presidential Oral Histories ← Return to Riding The Tiger November 8, 2012 By Kenneth Lowande Pulling the Curtain: Voting in America Voting rights. Photo courtesy of BackStory. PD. Did Tuesday's election revive questions about America's voting system, voter turnout, and how they have changed over time? This week's episode of BackStory with the American History Guys provides an interesting election debrief—delving deeper into questions that would otherwise be forgotten until 2016. "Pulling the Curtain: Voting in America" addresses questions about the Electoral College, voter fraud, undecided voters, election reform, and volunteerism—which paint a picture of the political atmosphere in various periods of American history. The American History Guys (a.k.a. Peter Onuf, Ed Ayers and the Miller Center's own Brian Balogh), and their guests, Alexander Keyssar, Mark Summers, and Jamie Raskin, start out their Election Day special with a look at a very different kind of political climate: one where politics was a loud, public affair in which "pass[ing] out the booze" was as important giving a Stump speech. Recent Voter ID laws look particularly exceptional in the context of the history of non-citizen voting, as explained by Raskin, a Professor of Law at American University. According to Raskin, there is an "incredible buried history of white, male, property-owning, non-citizens voting. The supporting argument is a logical one: these non-citizens have a stake in society (especially at the local level), and voting is a mutually beneficial avenue toward assimilation. The practice continued up until World War I—when states began passing laws against alien suffrage. Summers, History Professor at the University of Kentucky, explains that in the Gilded Age at the end of the 19th century, the culture of elections defies a simple term like voter fraud. For one, voters were routinely paid between $2 and $10 to turn out. If you were Republican, this did not necessarily mean that Democrats could buy your vote; it meant that you might not show up vote unless incentivized by your own party. Summers goes on to talk about the threats of violence and intimidation rampant in post-reconstruction South, as well as the efforts of reformers to enfranchise black voters. How does one explain the Electoral College? Professor Keyssar of Harvard University points out that the strongest sentiment against direct popular election of the President came from the South. It's simple (and notorious) math. Because of the 3/5th's compromise, the slave-holding southern states got a "bonus" in the Electoral College since their slaves were counted for population purposes, but not enfranchisement. Strangely enough, after the abolition of slavery, this advantage was enhanced—since former slaves were now counted as "5/5th's" while subject to systematic and effect methods of voter suppression. Listen to the full episode to learn more about the history of volunteerism and voter turnout throughout American history.

Canada wins consolation final for fifth
KAZAN, Russia (July 15, 2013) – The Canadian men's volleyball team finished among the top six for the fourth straight FISU Games thanks to a 3-0 (25-20, 27-25, 25-17) victory over the Czech Republic at the 27th Summer Universiade, Monday afternoon.
Canada (5-2) finishes fifth after winning the consolation side of the draw. The appearances in the top six include claiming a silver medal in 2007 in Bangkok, Thailand, finishing sixth in 2009 in Belgrade, Serbia, and barely missing the podium in 2011 in China, taking fourth place.
"We came in expecting to medal and we had a pretty good go at it," said left side Steven Marshall of Abbotsford, B.C. "We played some really tough teams and it was really good competition. We had a pretty disappoint quarter-final against Ukraine but I think we bounced back well together as a team and our last two games together were really fun."
Surrendering the lead just twice in the opening set, Canada scored four straight points to secure the win.
The second game had a different feel. The Czech Republic had a three-point lead for the majority of the set until a Marshall attack that froze the back line pulled Canada within one. The Canadians went on a 7-4 run close out the stanza, 27-25.
After the second set loss, the Czech Republic squad was deflated and Canada easily won 25-17.
"Those sets that are close that the other team are up are usually a huge momentum builder, especially for us," said Marshall. "We kind of took the wind out of their sails a bit. They were trying to get back in the match and then we ended up stealing that set. I think the third set showed that they were disappointed and we just kind of rolled the rest of the way."
Earlier in the tournament, the Canadians had defeated the Czech Republic 3-1 (26-24, 25-14, 21-25, 25-17) during pool play.
Marshall, a member of the Trinity Western University Spartans, led the way on offence with 14 kills and nine digs, leading the tournament in the category. Nicholas Hoag of Sherbrooke, Que., added 13 kills, while older brother Chris tallied seven.
On Tuesday, reigning two-time champion Russia will battle Poland for the gold medal, while Japan and Ukraine will play for bronze.
BOXSCORE: Canada vs Czech Republic

Kind of a dick move. Wait staff in the US rely on tips to earn a living. If the table wasn't a large group, they may have not added the gratuity automatically.
That said, when I've worked in upscale eatery's & country club, that 18% gratuity was almost always added. If the customer really liked your service or you, they dropped an additional cash tip in when signing for the bill.

Really a low class move. Like shagging in a bathroom stall. Leave a nice tip and hit on her later. Don't treat a low-waged, tip-dependent woman like a whore.ReplyCancel

Ba dum tish? You'll be here all week, try the veal and ohhhhh, well played. Full circleReplyCancel
Hahaha! I concede! Very nicely done TTM…ReplyCancel
I don't believe this blind. I have a feeling that the waiter didn't get the tip she thought she would so is now spreading rumors. 18% on a $2500 receipt is A LOT of money. That's $450. If she got 20% that is $500. I doubt there are many high end restaurants where waiters can expect that sort of tip per table night after night. She's lucky. If the gratuity wasn't automatically added either the guy is being a jerk or the waitress was in attentive and didn't deserve much, if anything at all.ReplyCancel

@Kristin I was going to come up with a witty response but I'm just going to leave this quote from the Back To The Future wiki:
"the light of the flux capacitor pulsed faster until it had a steady stream of light."ReplyCancel
We are not allowed to add tip on anymore and it sucks. I'm a great server , but get stiffed all the time.
Get a lot of foreigners and not being mean, but half don't tip. I have to tip out and pay taxes whether they tip or not. So some tables I'm paying to wait on.
Yeah, what Vegas said. A server's sales are reported to the IRS and you are taxed on a percentage. It's to keep servers from saying "Oh, I only made two dollars in tips today" when they made $200. Except… you could get stuck in the wrong place and even the best server ever can end up losing money.
Always tip, and tip well!ReplyCancel

WE'RE HEARING that teaching a 42-year-old to blog is not an easy task. Social media, optimization, viral, are all new buzzwords to me. Everybody is using them in the mortgage industry, some more effectively than others, but why? Social media, especially in the mortgage industry, has been proven to generate a massive response within a community.
First off, social media is a broad term that can have many implications for different industries. However, if used correctly, the definition of social media for the mortgage industry is a channel that provides customer support, a means to gain customer and competitive insight, an avenue used to recruit candidates and a medium to manage your reputation online. A social media strategy should be a vital component of any mortgage company's overall communication plan.
There are some fundamental tools of the trade, many of which you've heard plenty about. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn (among others) have moved from casual curiosity to serious power tools in the areas of marketing, recruitment and lead generation. The numbers don't lie, there are over 850 million active Facebook users a month and over 42 million "pages" with 10 or more likes.
Social media success won't come overnight, but when it does come the rewards can be enormous. An investment (of time, very rarely money) in social media is an investment in the future for your branch network as well as your whole company. Take the words of one of our own branch managers: "We created our branch Facebook page 45 days ago and we have received 10 leads off of it and 3 deals are already in process. It is a great tool to use to market to the 'techy' generation. Plus we are encouraging our customers to 'like' us on Facebook and express how they liked the service we provided. I am confident this will lead to future business. Facebook testimonials are priceless." — Tevis D., branch manager, Envoy Mortgage.
As the ground in the communications game continues to shift rapidly, staying in tune with social media is a free, simple, and dare it be said, effective route to keep up with the mortgage industry's target market.

Dixon Schwabl Inc. has made some personnel changes.
The Victor, Ontario County-based firm has added Mark Stone as managing partner and chief creative officer to the company's creative team. In addition, both Ann McAllister and Marshall Statt are now associate creative directors.
"As we entered 2014, we made it a priority to recruit the best of the best, and it was our goal to attract nationally experienced talent to lead our creative team," CEO Lauren Dixon said.
Stone has worked on major award-winning national advertising initiatives. He leads nearly 30 people in the interactive, audio, video and print production, and creative departments.
Prior to his current post, Stone worked at Roberts Communications Inc. for six years as creative director.
In McAllister's new role as associate creative director, she will oversee the creative strategy, branding and art direction for several national and regional brands, company officials said. Previously, McAllister was contracted by Dixon Schwabl as a creative supervisor and was principal of Ann McAllister Art Direction and Design. She also worked at Partners + Napier Inc. as creative supervisor and senior art director.
Statt is responsible for monitoring the creative properties for some national and regional brands, including Hargray Communications Group Inc., the MCC Foundation, Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards, Inc. and Friendly Senior Services Inc. Previously, Statt worked as a creative supervisor.

In and around Xalapa, extreme sports are undeniably popular. On the outskirts of the city, you'll see tourists equipped with life jackets, helmets, ropes, paddles, and other adventure gear. The Filobobos River is frequented mostly by rafting enthusiasts during the rainy season (between June and November). For those familiar with the technicalities of rafting, the river is ideal for 15-mile trips on Class 2 and 3 rapids.
Zip-lining between mango trees, climbing and mountain biking are just some of the outdoor attractions on offer at Jalcomulco, an outdoor center near Xalapa. The town of Jalcomulco is home to one of the largest adventure tourism operators in the country, so if outdoor pursuits and extreme sports are your thing, this is the place for you. Jalcamulco has received national and international awards recognizing the safety standards it operates and the quality of activities on offer. During the day, there are powerful currents perfect for rafting on the Actopan river; by night, you can take a gentler, atmospheric trip along the river, accompanied by the sounds of nocturnal animals, the intensely starry sky and thousands of fireflies lighting the way.
Around Xalapa, there are also a number of ravines, waterfalls and caves ideal for rappelling. Surrounded by forests, mist and wispy clouds, rappelling in this area is made all the more exciting by the lack of visibility. In the town of Jalcomulco, just a few miles from the state capital, you can find expert service providers who cater for tourists of all levels of experience. On the Actopan River, the waterfall known as El Descabezadero is one of the best places to enjoy rappelling, but is certainly not for the fainthearted: you can rappel a massive 115 feet over the waterfall! The walk to the waterfall is a treat all of its own: stroll 20 minutes along winding paths, crossing fields peppered with fruit trees, until the roar of the falls tells you you're close.

I call them hero tires, because you will feel like a hero driving in snow on them. Have driven through 3 snow storms with fully covered roads and my traction control has not once kicked in. ABS has, if you leave braking too late. Handling and noise not as good as all seasons but I would not expect any winter tires to be.
Overall very good winter tire. I would buy them again.

I live in Calgary and this is my second set. My first set was on a Maxima that I had to drive a lot of highway on, this new set in on a new Tacoma.
I wanted a tire that was studdable to try out, after lots of arguments with myself and others I decided to go with what I know is a good performer, this time I was to stud it.
So far the overall performance is what I expected, very predictable and very little sliding, even off road on pure ice under packed snow.
That said I've seen lots of KW11's that don't age well. Once they hit 6/32 they are effectively done.
I'd recommend this tire for anyone budget oriented, studding isn't for everyone, but it makes it perform like a 300$ tire.
I've driven mostly highway so far and the first 1000 km of the studs have been very quiet. Not sure how next winter will be.

I was wondering what would have happened if Nagato had moved, for example here naruto-8954.jpgnaruto-8954.jpg that is if he can move at all.
And what I just started wondering about is, why did Nagato take so much damage from using/summoning the GM the first time, when there's no problem for him to use later, or any problem for No One to use it. This might be a clue leading to the GM being the Juubi, since it was in the moon at the time Nagato summoned it, it needed recharging maybe. Or maybe it needed to connect to something on earth.

"I ordered 6 pairs of shoes from DSW and I was looking forward to trying these on but I couldn't even get my foot in the shoe! They run small for sure since the other 5 I ordered in the same size fit fine. Even If they would have fit I would not keep these. I got the black ones and I don't like the combination of the leather with the rope platform. They look cute on the picture but not in person. Maybe the rope platform looks better on the nude color....definitely not the black ones."

Jets acquire Eric Tangradi - Cheveldayoff still Boring
Brett Martin
February 14 2013 09:34AM
Everything is relative, and with that in mind, pretty big news out of the Jets camp the other day. They acquired Eric Tangradi from the Pittsburgh Penguins. In return for the former 42nd overall pick of the Anaheim Ducks in 2007 draft, the Jets sent the Penguins a 7th round pick in the 2013 draft.
Tangradi has had what you might call an underwhelming career to date. Sure, he's got wayyyyyyy further as a Hockey player than I ever did, but with a whopping 5 points in 45 career NHL games it's safe to say the 24 year old, 6'4, 221lb Left Winger has yet to light the world on fire.
Which fits in with what Kevin Cheveldayoff has done this far. You see, I sat down to write today about how boring a GM Cheveldayoff is. I went to the Jets site to start compiling my case, and I saw the big news of the Tangradi trade. My heart skipped, then reverted back to normal, as I was re-assured my article idea still had merit, perhaps more so then before.
What's the biggest splash he's made so far as GM outside of siging his own free agents? Probably the Olli Jokinen signing. Sure, he was the best Center on the FA market last year, but to call that a major coup is a stretch. Olli has 4 points in 12 games and has yet to spark Kane, Wheeler, or really anybody he has lined up with yet.
At least Cheveldayoff signed him though. I challenge you to name much else he's done that's as newsworthy. Sure, you're thinking "Hey, what about the landmark Johnny Oduya trade?!". I'd say you have a fair point. But when flipping a depth defenseman for a 2nd and 3rd round pick in the 2013 draft qualifes as a major move, well, you got yourself a certified case of Boring GM Disorder.
Lets look at the other faces he's added to the 2013 Team:
Alexei Ponikarovsky - SIgned to a 1yr, 1.8m deal last summer. 2 goals in 12 games. Yawn. Hope he's dealt for picks for and Eric Tangradi at the deadline. Hey wait! This just in - he's been dealt for picks!
Al Montoya - Signed to 1yr, 601k deal. A capable back-up goalie, although important to have, usually lacks having an positive impact on the fate of a franchise.
Anthony Peluso - Waiver pick up. Made his NHL debut with the Jets. I guess that's something.
James Wright - Can I please stop writing about scrubs!? Acquired off waivers from Tampa. 10 games, no points.
The biggest move Cheveldayoff made was signing Evander Kane to a 6 year, 31.5 Million dollar deal about 3 minutes before the Lockout. I like that move, but when re-siging an RFA that you had to re-sign is your big move, I yawn. There was also the signing of Ondrej Pavelec to his 5 year, 19.5 Million dollar deal, which just proves that when Cheveldayoff isn't boring, he may just be nutto. But I questioned his sanity less after extedning the talented and useful Tobias Enstrom.
It's not like he did much to alter the face of the Thrashers as they became the Jets. Outside of extending Andrew Ladd, look at what he did for the 2011-2012 Jets:
Grant Clitsome - Plucked off waivers from Columbus. 'Cause you know, when they're not good enought for the Jackets, SNAP THEM UP! The most Clitsome has done as a Jet is make me laugh at his unfortunate last name.
Kyle Wellwood - Ok, this was a great move. Wellwood has been a great Jet, and re-signing him for this year was a savvy move. +1 to the GM.
Tanner Glass - SIgned to 1 yr deal. Yeah, he became a member of the effective and beloved 'GST' line, but a one year deal for a somewhat effective checker/energy player rather lacks a thrilling aspect.
Antti Miettinen - Good lord. Seemed like a good idea at the time to pluck him off waivers, but a player that gets 13 points in 45 games is what I call 'replaceable'. Luckily, he's on Injured Reserve this year, and cannot hurt the Jets anymore.
He also signed Randy Jones, Mark Flood, Eric Fehr, and a bunch of other names that I can't bear to spend more time writing about.
What about the Draft? Well, our fearless GM is not as dull there. In his and the Jets first draft, drafting 8th overall, and with a chance to pick up Dougie Hamilton or Sean Couturier, he surprised us all and took Mark Schiefele. Now, it's still early to declare that as a disaster, but can you imagine a blueline with Bogosian and Hamilton as a pair? That said, I'm still of the belief that Schiefele will find is way.
In 2012, Cheveldayoff made what is, in my opinion, his best move, by taking Jacob Trouba 9th overall. From what I saw of Trouba at the World Juniors, this guy is a beast. Whether it was his cannon of a shot, his great defensive coverage, or piining down and punching Mark Schiefele in the face, I loved everything I saw, and feel safe to say he could even have Shea Weber-esque upsdie. Now I can dream of Bogosian and Trouba patrolling the blue line and all the carnage and goals they'll create.
But through it all, as we sit here in February of 2013, Cheveldayoff has yet to make a Franchise-altering move. We have yet to see his stamp on things. And I'd like that to change. I appreciate that the Jets have some young talent, and part of his plan is to allow it to mature, but for the love of Teemu, could he just please make a big move. I know he's still got to sign Bogosian, Wheeler and Burmistrov and others, but if that's all he does, well color me bored.
What do I want? A big Splash! A Trade! A non-ex Leaf signing! Just something to get this team shaken up a bit. I think the Jets are close, and with some tinkering, we could well see a playoff team sooner than later.
So, c'mon Chevy, get Luongo! Trade for O'Reilly! Pry Anze Kopitar from LA! Do something! I realize Jets tickets are sold out roughly until the Sun explodes, but it'd be great to see some fresh blood, Eric Tangradi aside, coursing through the Jets veins.

Ponikarovsky was actually pretty decent...
Make fun of those 2 goals all you want but that's he was at 33rd highest goal scored per minute in the NHL for LW... tough to score more without PP time or more TOI... and he was one of the very few (3) players on the team that was scoring at a respectable rate AND pushing the play forward. Too bad he's gone now!! Wright is also a pretty solid 4th liner as he's had significant defensive acumen at a young age. Looking at the underlying numbers, his rookie season at 19 gave better defensive numbers than Glass has yet to ever pull. Other than that, you don't know who he has and hasn't tried to get involved with.

I love that Trouba pick. Watching that guy in the world juniors was incredibly frustrating as a Canadian fan. He was a man amongst boys.
I also like the Ponikarovsky and Glass signings because they're low risk/high reward contracts. Easily replaceable and extendable contracts are always a plus in my books.

But then again diffusing the leds will take the same light output of the led and spread it over a wider beam, so I don't think you gained anything by starting out with 'high brightness' in the first place just to then sand them down Vs getting diffused leds in the first place. However the proof is in the tasting of the pudding so maybe when you are done get a single diffused led of the same size and see if you did indeed gain any overall brightness.Lefty
It took about 5 minutes to get it lightly diffused
There maybe a quick easy way to use chemically diffuse them (dip in acetone, something) I also considered flat based transparent lacquer, but I just dont think it will diffuse much. I should probably experiment more.
brake fluid, plastic glue, brake cleaner dont seem to effect the plastic either. I seem to be out of paint stripper.

Incipio Feather vs. Cygnett AeroGrip For iPhone 5
I loved the Incipio Feather that I had on my iPhone 4S. When I upgraded to the iPhone 5 I of course assumed I would get the same case, just the new version. Unfortunately the Feather for the iPhone 5 doesn't fit nearly as well as the previous models. I think it has to do with the chamfered edges on the iPhone 5. For whatever reason Incipio hasn't yet figured out how to make the Feather fit right.
If you grab the Feather right above the mute switch, you'll notice that there's way too much give. It's like it's not "locked in" to the phone like previous versions. At first I thought I just had a bad case, but I've since tried probably 10 other Feather cases for the iPhone 5 and they all have the same issue. As much as I loved the case on my old iPhone 4S, I just couldn't live with the poor fit of the new version. It doesn't fit nearly as well as it should.
So that made me start searching for another snap-on case (I like something to protect the back and sides, but don't like most cases as they are too bulky for my taste). I didn't find anything else I liked, and was about to order the CaseMate Barely There online. Today at lunch however I stopped into MicroCenter to see what they had. Much to my surprise I found a perfect replacement for the Incipio Feather....it's called the "AeroGrip Feel" by Cygnett.
It has the same soft-touch black color that I liked with The Feather. It fits great, no "play" at all when it's on the phone. It has some dimples down each side to add a little grip. It comes with a screen shield, a little plastic card for applying the shield, and a small micofiber cloth.
The best part? It was only $18.99! I'm pretty sure the Incipio Feather is $29.99.
All in all I love the case so far and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a thin snap-on case. It's just what I was looking for. I will post some pictures this evening.

This is case iMore was kind enough to gift me from the contest (though mine was pink). I do like it a lot, my only small complaint is that I find it a bit slippery.

Re: Incipio Feather vs. Cygnett AeroGrip For iPhone 5
Cool I 'll be looking out for the pics. Sounds a little like the Incipio Faxion I have except mine is a hard exterior but the interior is a softer like gel material. The Faxion fits good and gives a little better grip and has a raised edge around the screen so if you lay it face down the screen doesn't touch.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
At the 3-A State tournament, there were Judge Memorial and seven other teams. Emery was one of those seven other teams that could have finished second. As luck would have it though, Emery played two games and lost two close games and that was that.
Emery's first game was against Region 9 champion Dixie. Emery lost that game 58-47 even though they were tied with Dixie at the end of the third quarter. Emery's next opponent was Region 11's Morgan and Emery lost that game 56-49. Late in the game Emery trailed only by a single point.
This tournament belonged to Judge. Judge won their first state championship since 1980 with the win.They defeated Tooele is the championship game. Judge, as good as they are, had Logan take them to double overtime in an earlier game.
Against Dixie, Emery had their opportunities but they could not capitalize on those opportunities. After trailing in the first quarter 15-7, Emery came out in the second quarter and tied the game twice before trailing 25-23 at the half. Dempsey Jeffs and Josh Eden hit big 3-pointers and the Emery defense was much better in the period. Dixie hit a shot at the buzzer for the lead.
The third quarter saw Dave Justice score the only points for Emery as he took the ball to the hoop three times and scored three times for Emery's only 6 points in the period. Emery's defense was impressive as they held Dixie to only four points and the score was tied at 29.
After a defensive three quarter battle, the offense came alive in the fourth quarter for both teams. Unfortunately, it came alive more for Dixie after Darrin Winn fouled out with 5:23 to go in the game. Darrin picked up two quick fouls to end his game and that let Dixie have more fun in the middle. Dixie outscored Emery 15-6 over the last four minutes, mostly on free throws.
Justice led Emery with 18 points, 14 in the second half. Winn ended his game with 10 points. Also scoring were Jeffs and Eden with 6 points each and Vic Rosen with 5 points.
Against Morgan, Emery trailed 50-49 with only a couple of minutes to go but was never able to score again. Morgan scored the last 6 points of the game to send Emery home. Both Justice and Jeffs fouled out of the game in the final quarter to leave Emery with no point guard for the end of the game and it showed.
Winn was the leading scorer in this game with 17 points. Jeffs was the only other player in double figures with 12 points. Rosen added 8 points, Eden had 5 points, Justice 4 points and Kyler Edgehouse had 3 points.
Emery, with a little luck, could have done as well as anyone. They had moments of unforced turnovers, times they fouled too much and shots that would not fall.
Even though we have a tendency to like winners, we really need to step back and appreciate how far this team came this year. At the beginning of the year, we would have said you are crazy if it was known that the team would win 16 games. This team had no depth, had a player coming back off knee surgery who did not play last year and a fairly tough schedule.
These guys came together and had a good season even though at times I am sure they gave their coaches heartburn with their erratic play. This team was not perfect but they were ours and we were proud of the way they played. They were overachievers and that is not a bad thing. They gave their all, they achieved much and now we say thanks.

In preparation for the debut of their Fall 2011 line, Guess has donned a new Campaign, featuring new It Girl Amber Heard as the fresh face for the new line. The Old Hollywood Glamour shots (a la Marilyn Monroe) is more than fitting as their new Fall Collection includes romantic blouses and sky high platform shoes that say, "Au Contraire, I'm a Lady!" The focal point of the collection is on the denim, of course and we just so happen to love the Britney Skinny Jean and the Cropped Cigarette Jean, both shown here in the photos. When paired together, with a pale pastel blazer and a great leather satchel bag, (think Kim Kardashian) these pieces can make any girl feel luxe.

Neal Spencer, British Museum
Far from the British Museum, preparations are underway for the next phase of excavations in the Amara West research project.
Amara West is an ancient town in northern Sudan, which was occupied by pharaonic Egypt between 1500 and 1070 BC. We've been studying it since 2008, carrying out archaeological digs every year. Our next season starts in January when we'll be writing regular updates on our progress.
For now, I'm here with Claire Messenger, who co-ordinates the British Museum international training programme, for a two-week visit to meet with colleagues from the National Corporation of Antiquities and Museums (Sudan) and to prepare the project house for the busy season ahead.
During excavations, a team of 10-15 specialists lives in a converted mudbrick house, on the nearby island of Ernetta, a short boat-trip from the ancient site. This picturesque island features clusters of traditional Nubian houses set among date-palm groves and small plots for growing fava beans and other vegetables. Three mosques, three small shops and a cemetery are also found on the island – but no vehicles.
The house, owned by local primary school teacher Kawsar Mohamed Ali, is arranged around large courtyards, and is designed for the local climate, particularly the cool verandahs to encourage airflow during the summer heat. However, aspects of the house need to be changed to fit with our requirements: installation of showers, creation of object and equipment stores, and of course more bedrooms than the typical family needs. Throughout, we are trying to retain the original appearance and ambience of the house.
Skills not taught in Egyptology or archaeology courses are needed here! Local builders are employed to convert the house, using a mixture of traditional materials (mud, sand, mudbricks) and more modern products (cement, electrical wiring). There is no mains electricity here on the island, or in the nearby area, so we only have power in the evenings, run from the neighbour's water-pump (it doubles as a generator).
All our water comes from the Nile, for washing, cooking and drinking – we use ceramic filters to make sure it's pure.
Many key pieces of equipment are not available locally, so earlier this week we bought a 500-litre fibreglass water tank in the capital city, Khartoum, strapped it to the roof of a Landcruiser and drove the 700 km north to site. We hope the water-tank will ensure we have a more reliable supply of water in the coming seasons. Throughout it all we've had the tremendous assistance of our Sudanese inspector, Shadia Abdu Rabo.

St John Simpson, Exhibition Curator
On 22 February 2011, we began a week of previews for the exhibition, including a communities day for groups we regularly engage with through exhibitions such as this. We had a very good turn-out from members of the Afghan community in London for whom this was a very special event. Omer Sultan, the visiting deputy Minister for Culture and Information in Afghanistan, led a special tour of the exhibition and it was touching to see and hear comments from young Afghans who had never seen such items before or believed they would see their country's treasures in London.
This event was followed by back-to-back press interviews with a special press release about the Begram ivories and a press launch for the exhibition. During this time we had over 200 media organisations represented, including print, radio, TV and web, and the coverage has already been global and very positive.
Once the last reporters had left, the final stages of preparations were made for the official opening of the exhibition on 1 March. Well over a thousand invitations had been sent out months in advance but the organisation of the speeches was kept a surprise until the last minute. While the guests were assembling, President Hamid Karzai and William Hague, the British Foreign Secretary, arrived at the British Museum and were greeted by the director Neil MacGregor, who led them into the exhibition on a special preview. The delegation also included members of the Afghan Ulema and Sir William Patey, the British ambassador to Afghanistan who has been a great supporter of this exhibition.
The following evening was reserved for the exhibition supporters Bank of America Merrill Lynch and another was given to the Patrons of the British Museum and on 3 March the exhibition opened to the public – the culmination of four years of planning.
The work isn't finished though. Throughout the next four months that the exhibition is open we have a very varied public programme. It begins next weekend (12 – 13 March) with a two-day conference with papers given by some of the world's specialists on ancient Afghanistan and its connections with the ancient world. There are some exciting surprises in store for anyone who wants to attend, including how the wonderful glass fish from Begram were made or where Alexander the Great met his future wife Roxane.

France 1870 – 1943
Princess Maleine's minuet (Marthe at the piano)
[Le menuet de la princesse Maleine (Marthe au piano)] 1891
oil on canvas
canvas 95.0 (h) x 60.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Accepted in lieu of tax 1999
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski
Denis, a founding member of the Nabis group, believed that 'every work of art was a transposition, a caricature, the passionate equivalent of a sensation experienced'.1 In this painting the particular 'sensation' Denis depicts is his love for his fiancée Marthe Meurier. She is shown here in a state of contemplation, turned slightly towards the viewer in three-quarter profile with her slender hands resting on the piano. This is one of the earliest of many portraits of Marthe painted by Denis, and she would remain a constant source of inspiration to the artist, even after her death.
Denis' Nabis roots are obvious in the highly decorative and whimsical nature of this canvas. The curls of Marthe's hair blend with the ornamental wallpaper, while the rhythmic lines created by her dress and elongated arms and fingers echo the arabesques on the frontispiece of the music behind her on the piano. Denis designed the frontispiece for this music, 'Princess Maleine's Minuet', himself.2 The score was composed by Pierre Hermant and based on the play The Princess Maleine by Maurice Maeterlinck. The violence of the play provides a stark contrast to Marthe's serene attitude here: it is a tragic account of thwarted love, in which the protagonist Princess Maleine is murdered and, enraged by her death, her lover Prince Hjalmar kills himself and his new fiancée.
Here, however, the Princess Maleine tale operates as a symbol of the couple's love. A key figure in the Symbolist movement, Denis employs metaphors of personal significance to represent abstract ideas throughout his oeuvre. The Princesse Maleine was a favourite of both Denis and Marthe. The central themes of fate and the triumph of love over death were no doubt attractive to a pair of young lovers. Denis reports in his diary that Marthe 'is reading again The Princess Maleine until two in the morning'.3 Music was significant to the couple,4 and in accordance with the Nabis' desire to integrate all the arts, the score's presence unites literature, music and painting.

Merry Christmas to all...
I love lupines and roses, but haven't mastered the art of growing them. My garden is sweltering now. Some of the shrubs have green and brown leaves, and the grass is brown except around my favorite shrubs. Your garden is beautiful!

Beautiful Garden! I have basically given up on flower gardening - The deer eat EVERYTHING!

Advice on deer...
and slugs...
I prefer to grow my own veg with flowers out in the front of my house where they can be seen by everyone.
So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,
Hail our dear old friend kris kringle,
Driving his reindeer across the sky.
Don't stand underneath when they fly by.
wow you have a lot of flowers and plants
beautiful garden
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.
*Seeing isn't believing.Believing is seeing.*

Comments: I love this shoe! I overpronate, have a high arch and wear orthotics, and I have been running in the Omni for the last 2+ years. That shoe is a little heavy, so I wanted to try something lighter that still had the support and could accommodate my orthotics. The Mirage 2 fits me better in the forefoot (the Omni was a little wide) and is noticeably lighter. And the blue/pink is really cute! I am ordering a second pair. Please don't change anything!

Comments: As a competitive high school XC and track and field athlete (30mpw in the fall, less in the spring racing distances from 400m-5000m, training pace from 6:49/mile - 8:30/mile) this shoe has worked out perfectly for me. It is light enough for my faster days yet has just enough support for a slight over pronation on my right side. I have high arches and these shoes have provided me with just the right amount of support. In comparison to the old mirages, they seem to fit the form of the foot a little better, if you like a snug fit. They also seem more breathable and able to dry faster. I would recommend the mirages for anyone wanting a lighter ride with minimal support as long as they have a midfoot strike.
