Preparation for Mera Peak Climbs
During this month-long adventure to the summit of Ama Dablam (22,493/6865m) you will travel along superb alpine rock, ice gullies, a heavily corniced ridge, and technical snow and ice up to 50 degrees, using all your alpine skills including cramponing, ascending fixed ropes, and climbing mixed rock and ice, all at high altitude. You must build a high degree of strength endurance, high-altitude tolerance, and strong cardiovascular conditioning.
Just because you exercise regularly (up to 6 times per week) at low altitude does not mean you have the conditioning needed to reach the summit of Ama Dablam. Plenty of people who have the endurance to run a marathon or compete in triathlons fail to summit high-altitude peaks. Pure cardiovascular fitness is simply not enough. Focus on building the physical conditioning necessary to ascend 3,500 feet of vertical elevation gain on successive days carrying 35-40 pounds. This trip is a Himalayan classic that includes beautiful climbing in remote territory, and with it comes a very high conditioning requirement.
Prioritize your training efforts in the following way, assuming that you are in good health and injury-free:
- Climbing conditioning – pack-loaded uphill hiking, walking, and stair climbing
- Strength training – for the lower body and core
- Cardiovascular training – including both aerobic and anaerobic workouts without pack weight
- Flexibility training
Most people will need to train specifically for such a trek for at least three to four months. During your training, you will need to progressively ramp up your hike time, distance, and elevation gain (at roughly 10% per week) to safely and effectively build your trekking-specific conditioning. Trying to rush this will increase the risk of experiencing some sort of training injury and not being ready for your trip. Below are more details of how to incorporate these four priorities into your program.
Climbing Conditioning
Hike along outdoor trails, gradually increasing your pack weight until you are comfortable carrying a 20-25-lb. pack. If you live where it is relatively flat, go up and down stairs or train on an inclined treadmill or StairMaster. Use whatever varied surface terrain (i.e., gravel beds, sand dunes, river banks) you have access to. A reasonable goal would be to ascend 3,000 ft. carrying an average pack of 20 lbs. in a three-hour period, or roughly 1,000 vertical ft. per hour. A good training option for simulating pack weight is to carry water in gallon containers or collapsible jugs, then dump water at the top as needed to lighten the load for the descent.
In early season, start with a hike that gains up to 1,000 feet of elevation over 4-6 miles round-trip, and carry a 10-lb. pack; each hike, try adding two to three pounds until you are comfortable with a 20-lb. pack, then begin increasing the total elevation gain and mileage. When you can gain 3,000 feet with a 20 pound pack, start decreasing rest breaks and increasing speed on each conditioning workout. A month from your trek, you should be comfortable carrying your target 20-25-lb. pack.
Two training techniques that will be useful for high-altitude trekking are: 1) Interval training, 2) Back-to-back training (discussed in more detail in "Putting it All Together," below.) To include interval training, find a steep hill or sets of stairs that will allow you to climb steadily for several minutes. Push as hard as you can going up, then recover coming down, and repeat for anywhere from 20-45 minutes depending on how close to your climb you are. Gradually add weight to your pack (no more than 10% per week) until you can carry 25-lbs. the entire time. If possible, participate in as many hikes at altitude as you possibly can to learn how your body reacts above 13,000 ft. elevation.
Flexibility Conditioning
Be sure to include at least 5-10 minutes of targeted stretching following every workout, specifically for the hamstrings, glutes, hips, calves, lower back, and quadriceps. If you have any areas of concern early season, add emphasis to making sure you have normal range of motion about all your joints. This will become even more important as you add weight and distance to your conditioners.
Strength Conditioning
Training with free weights, bands, a backpack, bodyweight exercises, or gym machines will help you build overall strength, particularly in the core (lower back and abdominals), upper back and shoulders, and legs. Developing strength in your upper back and shoulders will help you with such tasks as carrying your pack and using trekking poles effectively. The calves, hips, quads, hamstrings, and glutes are all involved in ascending and descending steep snow, scree, and dirt trail terrain, and strength endurance is required in all areas of the legs and hips.
Training primarily with free weights will give you the functional, trekking-specific strength that will help you most in the mountains. Free weight training requires that you balance the weights as you would your own body, weighted with a pack, in three-dimensional space. When starting any strength conditioning program, complete two full-body strength workouts a week for 30-45 minutes each, focusing on compound exercises such as squats, lunges, step-ups, dips, pull-ups, rows, dead lifts, bench presses, pushups, and overhead presses.
In the beginning phase of strength conditioning, focus on building a foundation for harder workouts; to that end, keep the weight light enough to concentrate on good form and complete two sets of each exercise for 8-10 repetitions. As you continue to train, you will shift focus to building strength (generally lower reps, 5-8, with heavier weight). Four to six weeks before your trek, shift your training to focus on strength endurance (higher reps, 10-15, with light weight) to turn the newly gained strength into greater strength endurance. Each training phase should vary the weight used, repetitions completed, number of sets, and rest intervals. Regardless of training phase, always be sure you maintain proper form in order to prevent injury or strain.
Cardiovascular Conditioning
Include spinal-loading aerobic training options three to five times a week. Appropriate options include trail running, walking on an inclined treadmill, doing stair stepping or step mill training, jogging, working on an elliptical machine, walking up and down hills, or participating in step aerobic classes. While biking, rowing, and swimming are aerobic options for the earliest stages of training, be sure as you get closer to your trip that you include activities suggested above that load the spine and legs the same way that trekking will.
When first beginning a cardiovascular training program, begin with three weekly workouts of 30-45 minutes of sustained activity at a moderate intensity, and build to four to five aerobic sessions of sustained effort for at least 45-60 minutes. Be sure to include a 5-10-minute gentle warm-up before working at your target heart rate for the day (for most workouts, choose a level of exertion that allows you to connect a few words together in a phrase, but leaves you feeling comfortably tired at the end of the workout), and cool down with 5-10 minutes of appropriate stretching of the muscles you use most in your activity, including lower back, calves, hamstrings, hips, and quadriceps.
Roughly a month before your climb, you should be at the conditioning level where you are comfortable hiking on consecutive weekend days, what is referred to as back-to-back training. This involves hiking with your target climb pack weight (20 lbs.) on the first day for at least 3,000 ft. elevation gain, and a somewhat lighter pack for greater elevation or mileage (or both) on the second day to simulate your approach and summit days of your climb. This will not only be helpful physically but also prepare you psychologically for the challenge of repeat high-effort days without any recovery days in between. A sample week of training a month prior to your climb might look like the chart above, in an effort to help you build as much stamina as possible.
Be sure to include at least one recovery day per week and listen closely to your body. Take the final week to taper or gradually reduce intensity and volume of training so that by the time you leave for your trip you are well rested and physically and psychologically up to the challenge.

Why Capsules CBD Pills Are Better Than Drops
Taking medicines is far from being a pleasure. Nonetheless, we have to put up with this whenever we get sick or when we have a chronic medical condition that requires ongoing treatment. While some people prefer drops, others would rather swallow a pill and move on with their life. Sometimes drops are better, because the active substance needs to be absorbed quickly into your system. There are situations when sublingual use is better than everything else. However, in other cases it's better to choose pills. When you have to deal with chronic pain, you may be happier with a slower relief. It's better to feel your pain fading away until it disappears completely, rather than switch from a state of striking pain to one of perfect relaxation within a split second. Gradual improvements are better perceived by the brain. It's hard to fool your brain into believing there nothing wrong in your body. Sudden chances are more difficult to believe, hence the need of a drug or substance with slower onset of action.
This is why, when it comes to CBD, it appears Capsules pills are better than drops. People suffering from fibromyalgia and other similar medical conditions require CBD to help them cope with the symptoms. Pain can reach incredibly high levels, making these people fall into depression. When you can't sleep at night because of your pains, you're going to develop chronic fatigue and many other symptoms that can severely affect your quality of life. This is where CBD can help you regain your good mood and your lust for living. Hemp CBD oil is legal across all states, so everybody can purchase it without worrying about getting in trouble with the law. However, marijuana-based CBD oil is not legal, so it could bring you troubles. Anyway, as long as you stick to a legal CBD form, you're going to be safe. Your main goal should be to find the form that works best for you.
As a matter of fact, Capsules CBD pills have the advantage of being tasteless. If you don't like the taste of these oily drops, you might have problems in taking your medication as required. By choosing pills, you'll have a much easier life, as swallowing them with a little water shouldn't make you nauseous. Pills are perfect for people who hate funny tastes. Besides, there are other advantages that make Capsules pills superior to drops, at least when it comes to CBD.
When you take drops, the effect of the active substance is almost instant. Drops are absorbed into your body much faster, so you're going to feel the effects almost instantly. You may have to wait for a few minutes, but this is all. On the other hand, by swallowing Capsules CBD pills, you may have to suffer a bit longer, but the effects are going to be long lasting. As the active ingredient is slowly released into your system, you start to gradually feel better. You won't need to repeat the treatment as often as in case of drops, because the gel takes more time to dissolve and get absorbed into your blood stream. As your mood improves, you're going to feel better. This slower improvement is better because it is perceived by your brain as being more natural. You won't feel this improvement as an artificial one as it happens in case of medicines with very fast onset of action.
Before trying CBD for the first time, it's good to spend some time to inform yourself on the benefits and the drawbacks of this treatment. As there are many fibromyalgia sufferers in the world, chances are you're going to find lots of online groups and communities sharing the same problems and concerns. These people use discussion forums to exchange ideas and information. By joining a few of them, you can find out what kind of medication you could try and what are the expected effects of each substance. In addition, you'll see what others believe about the various forms of CBD. You'll probably find many people claiming Capsules CBD pills are better than drops. If you don't believe it, you can always ask these people further questions. Besides, you should probably discuss with your doctor about your intention of taking CBD to manage your pain. Your doctor is the best person who can give you advice and who can watch you closely during the treatment. In case of emergency, you should contact your doctor for advice, so it's not a bad idea that he or she is always up to date with all supplements and medicines you intend to take.
Access to information is easier than ever before. This is the beauty of our modern world and of all technology breakthroughs. They enable us make an informed choice in almost everything in your lives.

Please Join Masaru Emoto in Healing the Waters of Japan
By Dr. Masaru Emoto on Mar 15, 2011
Healing Water for the People of Japan
To All People around the World,
Gather the friends. Gather the clear water from our still-running streams. Gather the water SDGE siphons from us. Gather a blossom, with humility and gratitude, that represent Japan, and, in turn, represents our awakening.
Please send your prayers of love and gratitude to water at the nuclear plants in Fukushima, Japan!
By the massive earthquakes of Magnitude 9 and surreal massive tsunamis, more than 10,000 people are still missing even now. It has been 16 days already since the disaster happened. What makes it worse is that water at the reactors of Fukushima Nuclear Plants started to leak, and it's contaminating the ocean, air and water molecule of surrounding areas.
Human wisdom has not been able to do much to solve the problem, but we are only trying to cool down the anger of radioactive materials in the reactors by discharging water to them.
Is there really nothing else to do?
I think there is. During over twenty year research of hado measuring and water crystal photographic technology, I have been witnessing that water can turn positive when it receives pure vibration of human prayer no matter how far away it is.
Energy formula of Albert Einstein, E=MC2 really means that Energy = number of people and the square of people's consciousness.
Now is the time to understand the true meaning. Let us all join the prayer ceremony as fellow citizens of the planet earth. I would like to ask all people, not just in Japan, but all around the world to please help us to find a way out the crisis of this planet!!
The prayer procedure is as follows.
Day and Time:
March 31st, 2011 (Thursday)
12:00 noon in each time zone
Please say the following phrase:
The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant,
we are sorry to make you suffer.
Please forgive us. We thank you, and we love you.
Please say it aloud or in your mind. Repeat it three times as you put your hands together in a prayer position. Please offer your sincere prayer.
Thank you very much from my heart.
With love and gratitude,
Masaru Emoto

Genealogy as a hobby has exploded within the past few years, thanks in large part to the advent of Internet research, and especially to Internet databases containing genealogical material in digital form or as indexes or transcriptions. With the onset of Ancestry.com's Expert Connect and other online third party genealogical research services, this large group of newcomers also has a way to connect with professional genealogists who can either guide the hobbyist through the research process or who can provide for-pay services to answer tougher problems1.
Unfortunately, the rise in genealogy's popularity has also precipitated a rise in professional genealogists who do not have the skill, training, and education to actually perform research-for-hire. At the same time, the proliferation of free and for-pay online databases has led to a generation of hobbyists who lack the basic skills necessary to differentiate between a skilled genealogist and an untrained one, not because these hobbyists aren't intelligent but because they do not know that there's more to genealogy than Googling a name. Most Internet genealogists simply do not understand the realities of research. For instance:
- Some estimates place the amount of genealogical material available online in any form as less than 5% of all available physical material
- There's a large difference between conducting a search for a name in a record, and conducting research into a genealogical problem (the latter includes the former, but it also includes placing the target ancestor in context with his or her community, analyzing each document in various ways, and synthesizing the body of evidence)
- Most Internet family trees (and many published ones, for that matter) have not been proven with solid documentation and are therefore unreliable
And so on. This may sound like a harsh indictment of those new to the field, either as hobbyists or professionals, but it isn't. Rather, it's a warning to hobbyists to be cautious when hiring a professional, and especially when hiring one sight unseen. The old maxim caveat emptor (Let the buyer beware) applies here as it does everywhere. And while many professional genealogists may not intend to defraud their clients, there's no reason for the purchaser of such services to be a victim. Below are a few basic steps to take before hiring a professional.
- Be aware that services like Expert Connect have only the most minimum vetting standards for their Providers (researchers). It's up to you to make certain those genealogists can solve your particular problem.
- Don't be afraid to ask questions such as: Do you have access to the records needed to solve this problem? Have you solved problems similar to mine in the past? Have you studied families or communities in the same locality as my ancestor?
- Ask for references or work samples. If a researcher lists publications, take the time to read one or two so that you have a good grasp of the researcher's skills and areas of specialty.
- Ask the researcher to tell you how they plan to solve your problem. A full research plan may not be necessary, but their answer should nearly always include research into original material, whether digital or physical, unless the problem can be solved another way.
- Expect to pay more than ten or fifteen dollars per hour for services, and for the research to take more than a few hours to complete. Some problems can take upwards of 40, 50, or 100 hours, depending on how complex the situation is2.
- Expect to pay up front, and expect to pay even if the desired results are not produced. There's no guarantee that any particular ancestor left a paper trail in what records are now extant. You should, however, expect a researcher to give suggestions on overcoming such a problem in the research report itself.
- Insist on a detailed contract. This protects you as much as it protects the researcher.
- Researchers who are a member of organizations such as the Association of Professional Genealogists or who are certified or accredited are more likely to provide quality services. Those who have earned certification and accreditation in particular have already exhibited quality workmanship held to rigorous standards.
- Be leery of a researcher who does not ask questions about the research problem, who does not adhere to accepted standards of grammar and punctuation, or who demonstrates a marked lack of knowledge about the locality, its records sets, or the nature of the problem. These could be indicative of a researcher who is not skilled, experienced, or professional enough to handle the work required3.
- Educate yourself on accepted standards of research by reading how-to books, taking classes, and subscribing to genealogy magazines and journals. There are many learning opportunities available online and off that are free or low cost4.
Finally, be aware that sites like Expert Connect are not the only way to find reputable researchers. The Association of Professional Genealogists, the Board for Certification of Genealogists, and other such entities maintain lists of professional researchers, as do local libraries and historical societies. Shop around until you find a researcher who can meet your specific needs, and you'll be much more satisfied with the resulting product.

My opinions and comments do not reflect the opinions or policies of Expert Connect, Ancestry.com, or their parent company, nor are they intended to encourage or discourage any individual or group of individuals from using those services.
2. The Board for Certification of Genealogists provides a page of work samples for those interested in applying for certification. Near the bottom of the page under the section "Research Reports" are several examples of different types of reports, including those for complex problems. The one called "Extended-Research Report (Lennon)" encompasses 48.5 hours of work and was the third in a series of research phases based around one problem: identifying the birth family of one man.
3. Some horror stories I've seen and heard: one researcher told a potential client that if their slave ancestor was not mentioned in a will, then there was no chance of tracing the slave's family (not true). Another researcher told a potential client that wills were the only available estate record (also not true). One client shared a research report from another firm he had hired to look into original county-level records; the firm charged $50 per hour to do an analysis of online census records and Internet family trees, which is not what the client asked for or needed.
4. One of my favorite sites is the BCG's Skillbuilding section. It contains articles written by leading genealogists for BCG's newsletter OnBoard, all of which are helpful in building research and analysis skills.

Kotetsu Hagane (はがねコテツ, Hagane Kotetsu) is a chūnin from Konohagakure.
Kotetsu is never seen without his partner and best friend Izumo Kamizuki, whom he trusts explicitly in and out of combat. He is characterised as being the more carefree and irresponsible of the duo, more willing to shirk his duties to hang out in the Jōnin Standby Station eating syrup, for example.[4] Similarly, Izumo admonished Kotetsu's lack of pride in his work when the latter complained that they were simply Tsunade's errand-boys.[5] He is also described as having an intrepid personality,[2] as well as being curious by nature,[1] which was seen from the time he and Izumo disguised themselves as genin in order to see what type of people the new chūnin candidates were.[6] Despite this, Kotetsu is a loyal and dutiful shinobi, with great love for his village and will carry out his missions despite complaining when they are trivial. Kotetsu was also noted to have great respect for Asuma Sarutobi who established a great record in military prowess.[2]
Kotetsu has long, spiky, black hair and dark eyes. He has a strip of bandage running across the bridge of his nose and a light-coloured marking on his chin,[7] although it has the same colour as his hair in the anime. He wears the standard attire of a Konoha shinobi complete with a forehead protector and a flak jacket. When deployed on missions, he usually carries a pair of bladed weapons strapped to his back.
In The Last: Naruto the Movie, two years after the war, he has a slight difference in his appearance, with baring dons the new standard Konoha flak jacket with high top sandals, and the Uzumaki clan logo emblem on his armband on his left arm.
Kotetsu is proficient with genjutsu as was seen during the Chūnin Exams in Part I, when he uses Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique as part of an unofficial preliminary test of the new genin.[8]
Kotetsu also boasts proficiency with weapon-based close-ranged combat, as seen in Part II, during his fight with Kakuzu, Kotetsu summons a large shell-like weapon from a scroll he was carrying.[9] Since he was quickly captured by Kakuzu after this in the manga, it is unclear how skilled he is with it. However in the anime, it was shown to be able to perform aerial assaults.[10] He also carries two large weapons with him which he and his partner Izumo wield with great proficiency often attacking from either side of the opponent.[11][12] It was also shown that they can attach a chain to the hilt of these blades which they use to render their targets immobile before they attack them.[13] He has also been seen to be able to wield a bō.
Part I
Chūnin Exams
Izumo and Kotetsu first appeared disguised, trying to convince those planning to take part in the Chūnin Exams not to bother. Team 7 recognised that they had cast a genjutsu on the area, prompting them to give up in light of the group's skill. Seemingly somewhat impressed, Kotetsu attempts to attack Sasuke Uchiha with a kick, which Sasuke reciprocates in kind only to be stopped by Rock Lee. As they retreat and undo the transformation, he agrees with Izumo that the candidates this year seemed very interesting.
Later, Kotetsu and other chūnin arrive alongside Ibiki as invigilators of the first exam. Then, they sat on the outside of the examiners watching them for obvious sign of cheating, telling anyone who was caught five times that they had failed the examination. At one period in time during the exam, he threw a kunai onto the paper of a candidate that had failed, frightening Naruto as it had flown right past him.
He and Izumo were later seen together in the stands watching the preliminary matches. The two discussed Naruto's triumph over Neji and the talent that Shikamaru had shown in his battle, assuming he'd be an overall more suitable candidate than anyone else for promotion to the rank of chūnin.
Search for Tsunade
When Tsunade became Hokage, Izumo and Kotetsu started doubling as her assistants and as guards to the front gates of the village. The anime indicates that they are easily ignored or duped by those using the Transformation Technique while on the job.
Sasuke Recovery Mission
During Tsunade's transition into office he and Izumo Kamizuki became the assistants of Tsunade. They were the ones that found Sakura in the morning after Sasuke left Konohagakure and later informed Tsunade about the incident.
Original Anime Arcs
Along with Izumo, he makes a few cameos in filler arcs. The first was the two of them carrying the chair Tsunade had kicked out of her office back to where it belongs. Izumo has a huge bleeding lump on his head as if he was the unfortunate recipient of the chair. The second is them guarding the entrance to Konohagakure, when the fake Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata enter the village. They express shock as the real Naruto and Kiba appear, as they had passed just minutes ago.
Part II
Kazekage Rescue Mission
In the anime, Kotetsu is seen with Izumo as Naruto and Jiraiya have returned after two and a half years of training. They are later seen at the village's gate as Team Guy and Team Kakashi are returning from saving Gaara from the Akatsuki.
Twelve Guardian Ninja
Main article: Twelve Guardian Ninja (Arc) In the anime, Kotetsu is among the ninja defending Konoha from Furido and his team of ninja during the attempted siege on the village.
Akatsuki Suppression Mission
Izumo and Kotetsu were assigned to a Nijū Shōtai team with Asuma Sarutobi and Shikamaru Nara, their mission being to find members of Akatsuki. They successfully managed to do just that. The team tracked an Akatsuki duo to a bounty station, where Izumo and Kotetsu stabbed Hidan during a sneak attack. When Hidan survived, they pulled back and were forced to watch Asuma fall prey to Hidan's jutsu, unable to help him. They instead engaged Hidan's partner, Kakuzu, but were easily captured and subsequently rescued by Raidō Namiashi and Aoba Yamashiro.
Upon returning to the village and debriefing, they inform Tsunade of Asuma's fate. Kotetsu along with Izumo are later seen attending the funeral, mourning the loss of their captain.
Pain's Assault
In the anime, Kotetsu is inserted as a member of the Konoha Barrier Team and is seen playing cards with other members when he hears about an intruder breaching the barrier.[14]
Later, after Pain's invasion, he and Izumo were seen with Genma helping to rebuild the village. Kotetsu said that the Akatsuki had taken away everything that their forefathers had left for them.
Past Arc: The Locus of Konoha
Main article: Past Arc: The Locus of Konoha In the anime, with himself as captain, he sent was sent out on a mission to retrieve Condor from the Zeroth Training Ground with Naruto Uzumaki, Rock Lee, and Shino Aburame. During his battles with Condor, he experiences near death multiple times. Moments before his eminent death, his partner Izumo arrived to save him using their combination of Izumo's Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field technique and his own Conch Shell Mace to defeat Condor.
Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation
After the defeat of the Gold and Silver Brothers, Izumo and Kotetsu launch a surprise assault on Kakuzu slashing him with their Kunai Blades and immobilises him by wrapping the chain attached to the blades around him. Kotetsu then says they came to repay him from their last encounter and ask Ino, Chōji, and Shikamaru to help them seal him. As the battle ensues, Shikaku contacts the two and informs them that he and Izumo, along with Darui were to deal with Kakuzu, while Team 10 would fight Asuma. Though initially protesting the orders because Izumo believed it to be too cruel to have Team 10 defeat their teacher, they are then seen chasing Kakuzu across the battlefield. He and Izumo are later seen standing over a defeated Kakuzu who was being restrained under Chōji's colossal fist.
Fourth Shinobi World War: Climax
Later, after mobilising with the remaining members of his division and the Allied Shinobi Forces, Kotetsu and Izumo arrive at the battlefield along with their captain. With this, he and the other members of the Allied Shinobi Forces stood to face their opposition.
Blank Period
The Last: Naruto the Movie
Main article: The Last: Naruto the Movie Kotetsu appears in this film alongside Izumo Kamizuki, set two years after the ending of the Fourth Shinobi World War. He is seen standing beside Izumo as they watch Kakashi deploying a rescue team to rescue Hanabi Hyūga from a mysterious individual. Later, he is seen amongst Kakashi's party, informing Kakashi of a collapsed Hiashi Hyūga. He and Izumo take Hiashi to the infirmary. Kotetsu witnesses the Moon cut into two by Toneri's attack. After Toneri's defeat, he is last seen listening to the worldwide announcement about the Moon crisis being averted along with many other villagers.
In Other Media
Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Will of Fire
Kotetsu was seen with Izumo, guarding the gates until they confronted Kakashi, who was under Hiruko's control. They were later subdued by Kakashi, unable to prevent the latter from leaving Konoha.

It's Mental Health awareness week here in the UK from 9-15 October. So I just wanted to do a short post to ask everyone to take a few minutes to remember our ancestors who were described in the census returns as recently as 1911 as either lunatic, idiot, imbecile or feeble-minded.
I certainly can't begin to imagine how awful life must have been for my ancestors who found themselves in one of the 19th or even 20th century asylums.

Finizio orders written reprimand of New London police chief over emails
New London — Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio ordered a written reprimand for police Chief Margaret Ackley Monday after finding she violated a department general order by sending emails to a politically active citizen that were "outside the boundaries of proper managerial conduct."
In a letter dated Monday and addressed to Ackley, Finizio wrote that the chief did not violate a chain of command general order because "the policy was vague and unclear."
But, he found, the emails did violate a "divulging information" order that prohibits discussing "information relating to official business of the department unless authorized by a superior officer."
"Such communications, if allowed, could target individual department officers unfairly and would serve to seriously undermine confidence in any Chief's ability to effectively lead the department," the mayor wrote.
In a letter dated Friday, Ackley, who had a pre-disciplinary hearing Oct. 11, rebutted the notion she violated any policy and stood by her comments.
"Although perhaps I could have exercised more prudence regarding the communication, my comments in that particular email raised issues of public concern and were important to furthering community relations and dialogue between the citizens of New London and their government," she wrote.
In a statement, the police union applauded Finizio "for taking our concerns seriously." Once results of the investigation are fully reviewed, a vote of no confidence in the chief could be coming, the statement said.
"All members of the New London Police Department are guided by a code of conduct which includes integrity, leadership and respect which has been violated by her actions," Dave McElroy, the union vice president, said in the press release. "Chief Ackley has said on many occasions she insists her officers must be held to a higher standard of conduct yet she failed to meet those standards or follow her own policies she's set forth. It's important to have positive morale and a strong belief in their leadership and today it's not there."
The September 2011 email discussed Officer Todd Lynch and Police Community Relations Committee Chairman Jay Wheeler. With a subject line "Circle the wagons," the email asks resident Kathleen Mitchell to bring people "who are not afraid to stand up to Todd Lynch and Jay Wheeler" to attend a future PCRC meeting.
Lynch is a five-year veteran of the city force and president of the police union, and has been an outspoken critic of Ackley. He has a pending lawsuit against the chief and requested the city investigation after receiving copies of the communication sent from Ackley's private email address.
"I'm really tired of fighting Wheeler," Ackley's email read, "It's never ending, call your friends, people need to be there to make sure that Wheeler and Lynch can't trick people into letting this committee be disbanded or becoming a police commission where Jay and company can determine which complaints are accepted and who gets investigated." It also urges Mitchell to request publicly available disciplinary and personnel files of certain officers.
The PCRC forwarded the investigation request to the City Council and ultimately to Finizio, who in June directed the city's Law Department to conduct an investigation. It was completed Monday with the letter informing the chief of his decision.
"If such communications were allowed to occur they could serve as a disciplinary tool outside the proper forum for such proceedings," the mayor wrote, before concluding that he is "confident that these types of communications will not occur in the future."

Tuesday TV Toss-Up: Jeff Hammond
It's going to be an interesting 2012 for Jeff Hammond. His Twitter account is titled @hollywoodjeff, but this season Hammond will be without the infield studio that gave him the nickname. In his seat will be Michael Waltrip.
The NASCAR on FOX press release said that Hammond will still be on the Sprint Cup Series telecasts, but will assume the role of a roving reporter. The bottom line is that in TV land, that assignment is like having one foot out the door.
While Hammond has never been able to unseat Larry McReynolds and move up into the broadcast booth, his presence in the Hollywood Hotel was well defined. He was the voice of reason during the pre-race between Darrell Waltrip and Chris Myers. During the race, he provided information and perspective while continuing to counter Myers and his tired act.
The good news for Hammond is that he has found a role on SPEED that fits him like a glove. Working in the TV booth, Hammond is outstanding on practice and qualifying shows for both the Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series.
The most recent twist for Hammond is his role on the newly-revised Trackside program. Sitting awkwardly alongside of Kyle Petty and Rutledge Wood, Hammond's style of hardcore NASCAR conversation just does not mesh with the two-man act of Wood and Petty.
One saving grace for Hammond is that Waltrip does not live near the SPEED studios. While McReynolds continues to appear Mondays on RaceHub, Hammond's appearances later in the week allow him to take center stage and make conversation with his friend and show host Steve Byrnes.
While we expect to see a healthy dose of Hammond on NASCAR TV next season, his highest-profile role will change at Daytona the first time Michael Waltrip takes his seat in the Hollywood Hotel.
Where do you stand on Hammond these days? What was your opinion of him in his former Hollywood Hotel role and the other programs on which he appeared? Give us your opinion by clicking on the comments button below. Thanks for stopping by.

I am sad to see this change, even though I do agree that Jeff will do great in new role. I just will not watch the Hollywood Hotel segmants, as Michael Waltrip acts as stupid as ever. It will hurt that part of the weekly broadcast.

So, not so much a comment, but a question: will Hammond be back in the Hotel for the races that Mikey's driving the #55? It would make sense, but throws the consistency thing out the window (oh, wait, I just said "consistency" and "Mikey" in the same sentence...)

Wasn't a big fan of Hammond but would rather have him than either Waltrip or Larry Mac.

Hammond is a bit too much of a rubber-stamping NASCAR cheerleader for me, but at his worst he's a better fit for the "Hollywood Hotel" than Michael Waltrip. I'd rather see them do away with the whole setup than swap roles around.

Best case scenario: the Hotel just goes away, period. I quit watching any pre race on Fox or Speed, Rutledge is a clown that adds zero to anything, Mikey and DW make me cringe, Hammond gets as goofy as they are at times, I'll be watching like I did the last 2 years, tune in late, rewind the DVR and then FF past all the idiocy that Fox and E$PN inject into the broadcast. E$PN is just as bad with their version of the Hotel.

I would like to see Jeff replace Chris in the hotel, it would make more sense and I think Jeff would fit well in this role given the chance.

I'm sorry to see this change. I've always been a Jeff Hammond fan since he gives a solid opinion to the topics. I'm sure he will do well in this role.
I am NOT looking forward to another Waltrip in the booth. I only watched trackside this year when I knew there would be a guest that I was interested in - the rest of the shtick just doesn't interest me - Rutledge's humor doesn't appeal - I don't need that Marianela chick to reach tweets to me, I can do that for myself.
Over the past 3 years I simply gave up on all of the pre-race shows, no matter which network was producing them - they are simply NOT worth my time to watch.
I make a point to always watch Jeff Hammond's segments on Race Hub - his show and tell is detailed and very interesting.

Liked Hammond. Had a calm and informative t.v. presence. Felt no need to put a red nose on his face and act like a fool.
Will invoke the Thumper rule (if you can't say anything nice . . .) and withhold comment about his replacement

One need only examine the name "Hollywood Hotel" to understand why this show is the way it is. The fascination with a town that has zero interest in NASCAR has always baffled me. So too, the clowns in the booth. Jeff Hammond is one of those clowns. Not as bad as the Waltrips, but mighty close. It would suit me if they never aired before the race again. But then, what do I care? I quit watching it a few years ago. And I won't start now.

Gina, you bring up a very good point. Why are all these TV shows shoving Tweets at us when the people who really care about them would already have seen them? :) Waste of time.

Hammond is the only longtime NASCAR TV personality that I have never liked, understood, or cared to watch. He is still unable to speak clear, thought-out sentences on a regular basis. I can usually figure out what he's trying to say, but after 11 years he should be able speak clearly.
In my opinion, the only reason he has seemed good over the last 10 years is the fact that he sat between dumb and dumber during the pre-race shows on FOX. I've never cared for him on the Speed shows either, although I haven't seen many of his appearances on Race Hub.
He's probably a very nice guy, but I don't think he would have ever gotten a TV job without his connection to DW.
The only good thing I can say is he seems to work very hard and tolerates stupidity better than anyone. I suppose knowing DW for so many years prepared him for that.

When I turn on my TV to a race oriented show when the racing is not actually running and anyone whose last name starts with a WAL, I change the channel. ANYBODY whose last name doesn't start with WAL is a better choice.

Good system! Just to put it in a formula:
(I actually like Mike Wallace but wouldn't you know he's the only one withOUT a regular TV gig?)

Not sure where I want to start. But having met and talked to Mr. Hammond and asking questions of his opinions for a few things(for more than a few minutes) and getting a book signed. and no this does not make me an authority on this. But there is no doubt in my mind that if you are not a cheerleader for nascar as are MW and LMac(Larry Mac did get a hand slap if I recall from nascar) have a nice day.
I am sure that what I am seeing on TV and hearing off the record is like night and day. it may be a reality of life in the world of nascar but the tv world i see and the reality of it at the track when I am there is once again like night and day to me.

Mr Editor -
Sitting between the clown act of dumb and dumber certainly made Jeff Hammond appear the sanest of the trio, except when he lowered himself into the gutter with them ...more to the point, Hammond has certainly improved over time and has the knowledge and info to benefit fan interest ...his qualifying and practice work is worthwhile ...sadly, his absence furthers the ESPN-ization of FOX/SPEED ...after 50+ years, it's getting harder and harder for me to remain a serious NASCAR fan

I like Jeff, I think he is much better and more insightful on Speed than on FOX. I think with a 3rd person in the Hotel, not named Waltrip, he could really do well. I hate that hes being taken out of the Hotel in favor of yet another Waltrip. That really grinds my gears. But Hollywood Jeff has always been solid in whatever he does, and Im sure he will continue to do that in his new role, whatever that may be.

I'm really sorry to see Jeff get "roving reporter" - & lose the hotel gig. Now the hotel will be worse with no sane person able to counter the junk info, and stem the flow of Waltrip/Meyers blather. I just won't watch it. Glad he is still on practice & qualifying.
I guess I'm just old school - wouldn't you want to keep 1 actually knowledgeable person on that hotel show?

Hammond deserves credit for being a winning crew chief 30 years ago. I'm a gaerhead. I think that technically, he's weak compared to Larry McReynolds. Even when he knows what he's talking about, his speaking skills are weak to convey his thoughts. What always irritated me about Jeff was his outsized ego. I've written off the pre-race and post-race shows. Any time I surf past them, I get frustrated with the fluff and mindless chit-chat.

I think it's pretty clear the Mikey/DW combo will result in more fans tuning out. Obviously Speed does no research in fan opinion before sticking unwanted/unliked people in positions. Programming has gone from bad to worse over the years, and I see no light at the end of the tunnel. There was a time when the "booth" was respected. No longer is that true. I don't know what it will take to end this comedic trend, but they are losing more and more fans as they keep making mistake after mistake. The Waltrip combo is the worst so far. I would be interested to know if the comments on this page ever see the light of day over at Speed.endra

If 2011 is an indication, Hammond will have a lot of free time in the garage next season.
I had no complaints against Hammond in the Hollywood Hotel, although the 'Hollywood Hotel' joke has been dead for years.
I fear the Waltrip chatterfest we may see next season. They will take the broadcast into their own tangent as Hammond listens along sitting next to a cut-away car.

There are so few people who were great in their racing lives and also able to do well in broadcasting............What would be wrong with finding people who were good at communicating?
A very few drivers can "take you inside the cockpit" and probably even fewer mechanics. I'm not a huge fan of Jeff but when he stays on topic, he is much better than any other former wrenches. This means he'll be gone soon I'm sure.
I get tired sometimes. Mikey is okay for comedic effect occasionally but in the larger roles he so often gets he is just another yahoo. So now we get two Waltrips huh? Ain't that just enough to gag a maggot?
Each night I go to bed and say my prayers:
Dear Lord, I don't ask for much but could you see your way clear to deliver into auto racing another Chris Economaki or at least someone who is reasonably knowledgeable and can speak intelligently about the sport? Amen

Sad to see Michael replace Jeff. Michael gets too corny and tiring especially on the Truck broadcast. As far as trackside, we hardly ever watch it anymore. Would like to see driver interviews not games.

Won't watch, don't care about the HH. Hammond might do very well indeed as a reporter. He speaks crew chief and has more entree than others (except Dillner, Punch, and Venturini), so I'm looking forward to seeing what he does.
Re Mike Ford: where is Nascar Now and Race Hub when we need them? This is the wildest off season in recent memory.

Jeff is one step from being out the door with FOX. The viewers have become more sophisticated and he has not kept up with the times technically and mentally.
His "toys" are gone so he sits naked in the Hollywood Hotel with very little to offer up.
There is not much for him to do without the Cut-away cars and props. That was his calling and he lost it.
Yes, I know it's going to be hard to enjoy a race with Mike in the HH but the HH segments come in limited doses thank goodness.
Simply tune in during the National Anthem and you see less of Mikeys antics.
But, back to Jeff. I believe he has pulled a Weber and upset someone down in the compound. He is well know for that along with throwing his weigh around.
As far as his credibility? Most people that were there, when DW had his run, will tell you that JH was allowed to sit on top of the Pit Box as Junior Johnson ran the show. Now his modern knowledge of racing has faded, he cannot catch up.
It will be interesting to see how much air time he gets as this is most certainly and a demotion. It is not a step up the ladder by no means.
Maybe FOX woke up and listened to people like you on this Blog and JD's efforts to enlighten us to the ridiculous talent and broadcasts we have to endure.

OMG! Cannot stand listening to DW, now they put that jerk Michael on! So so sorry Jeff! Will NOT ever watch/listen to a show with a Waltrip on it. They are the Kardashians of NASCAR. YUK

Why or what in the world would make FOX think that we, the viewers, would want ANOTHER Waltrip? One, either one, is too many. That will be one more pre-race show that I stop viewing. I already watch with the volume turned off, mostly because of "Ol' DW" but Larry Mac can grind on me, too. (Every driver and almost every reporter beat up on the English language but Larry Mac should be arrested for murdering it.) Gee whiz, FOX. Give us a break - a break from all things Waltrip.

I remember when FOX first took over and announced their team I though they were joking.The Waltrip brothers, Larry Mac and Hammond are all very weak as broadcasters and I was shocked that they were chosen. Years later, as these guys have shown me correct in their skills, with no improvement,they keep these below average TV people doing telecasts.What's wrong with getting some well spoken, clear , concise people to broadcast and show us fans some respect. The goofball, broken english, poor delivery and lack of ability to give us substantive knowledge approach has worn out it's welcome with the people I know.There has to be more Ricky Cravens out there! maybe mot as good, but someone with his analytical and knowledgeable approach.Come on FOX, step it up!

I cannot figure out what Speed is thinking of. Jeff out for Michael...? Hermies role has been cut out of RaceDay...? He & Jeff should have been promoted not side-lined. These 2 can talk racing seriously without being stupid. Maybe they should get their time slot. It makes no sense to me. I quit watching Trucks because of Michael.

Reading these posts can be entertaining and insightful.The person who called the Waltrips the Kardashians of NASCAR is priceless, right on point.I have had more than my fill of them. Not wanting to hear from anyone whose name begins with Wal is also good. DW, Mikey,Rusty, and Kenny are all people I don't care to ever hear from again. People like Wally Dallenback, Ricky Craven, Andy Petree, people who are thoughtful, well spoken, with the right touch of humor are what FOX should be looking for.

Big mistake Fox. Mikey is all about saying whatever sounds good at the time. I think Hammond will be a good pit reporter. I never liked the Hollywood Hotel and I don't tune in until the pre race show is over.

Asthma and Chiropractic
Have you ever wondered if there was a more natural way to curb your asthma? Chiropractic may be the answer.View Article

In today's age of health and fitness, more and more kids are involved in sporting activities. Although being part of a football, soccer or Little League team is an important rite of passage for many kids, parents and their children could be overlooking the importance of proper nutrition and body conditioning needed for preventing injuries on and off the playing field.
"The majority, if not all, sports are good, provided that the child prepares appropriately," says Dr. Carl Heigl, president of the American Chiropractic Association's Council on Sports Injuries and Physical Fitness. "Without proper preparation, playing any sport can turn into a bad experience. There are structural and physical developmental issues that need to be taken into consideration before children undertake certain sports."
Highly competitive sports such as football, gymnastics and wrestling follow rigorous training schedules that can be potentially dangerous to an adolescent or teenager.
The best advice for parents who have young athletes in the family is to help them prepare their bodies and to learn to protect themselves from sports-related injuries before they happen.
"Proper warm up, stretching and weight-lifting exercises are essential for kids involved in sports, but many kids learn improper stretching or weight-lifting techniques, making them more susceptible to injury," says Dr. Steve Horwitz. "Parents need to work with their kids and make sure they receive the proper sports training."
"Young athletes should begin with a slow jog to warm up the legs and arms and stretch all the major muscle groups," says Dr. Horwitz. "Kids involved in football, baseball, gymnastics and swimming should develop a routine that includes strengthening exercises for the abdomen, the low-back muscles, arms and shoulders."
Proper nutrition and hydration are also extremely vital. "A student athlete may need to drink eight to ten 8-ounce glasses of water for proper absorption. Breakfast should be the most important meal of the day. Also, eating a healthy meal before and after practice or a game allows for proper replenishment and refuels the body," adds Dr. Horwitz.
Young athletes today often think they are invincible. The following tips can help ensure your child does not miss a step when it comes to proper fitness, stretching, training and rest that the body needs to engage in sporting activities.
