One word that describes you? Determined
What is your job and what makes you so good at it?
I am a professional engineer. What makes me good at my job is the fact that I have an attention for detail. Being an engineer, I am constantly reviewing documents that have to meet certain specifications or requirements. Overlooking small aspects of a job or a document could be detrimental to the positive outcome of the project. I am also very organized and technical, which also make my job easier when it comes to multitasking.
What accomplishments and innovations are you most proud of this year?
I have numerous accomplishments in my life that I am proud of in 2012 from a personal, professional and extra-curricular standpoint. First of all, my husband and I welcomed our first child, Carl Vincent, in January after years of waiting and hoping for God to bless us with a family. He is the light of our lives, makes us smile on a daily basis, and helps us reflect on all the good things in our lives.
On a professional level, Lake County recently passed a new Watershed Development Ordinance. This process took numerous years and hundreds of hours of technical deliberations, research and oversight. I am pleased that the amendment process is finally complete.
On an extra-curricular level, I am thrilled that while I was state president of the Illinois Jaycees in 2011, through the hard work of our members and chapters, we were honored with the U.S. Jaycees' James McKeithan Memorial Award, which is presented annually to the state organization conducting the best and most comprehensive activities in the area of international involvement. This was a truly humbling award that should be shared by all Illinois Jaycees through their dedication to making an impact in the lives of others throughout the state, the nation and internationally.
How do you give back to the community and what drives your service?
I have given back to the community in so many ways throughout the years. I've volunteered from grade school through college. I think those experiences have molded me into the person I am today. Years ago I joined the Cary-Grove Jaycees, initially wanting to meet new people in the community. Over the years this has been a huge outlet for me for community service and giving back. It gives me the motivation to continue when I see people who are so grateful for the wonderful activities and projects we run as Jaycees for and with the community. As a trustee for the village of Fox River Grove, my time and efforts are again focused on giving back to my community. I want to make sure our village is a better place through the decisions we make as a board.
What is something you have never done but want to do some day?
Travel to the Galapagos Islands.
What is the best career advice you have received?
"Just do the right thing."
Nominator's comment:
"Her passion for improving the world around her is evident through the time and effort she dedicates to her community," said Anthony Colletti, her husband and a former Best Under 40 winner in 2009.

After spending two days huddled inside an overturned Jeep in subzero temperatures, six Nevada residents are now safe after volunteer rescuers came across the family on Tuesday.
During a weekend outing to play in the snow, the family's vehicle reportedly rolled onto its side before sliding down an embankment and landing in a crevice.
According to CNN, the parents relied on heating stones over an open fire in order to prevent the four young children from succumbing to frostbite as they weathered temperatures that dropped to 21 degrees below zero in a remote mountain range in the state's northwest.
"They did a lot of things right by staying with the vehicle, and they did have food and water available with them," Dr. Douglas Vacek from Pershing General Hospital told the Associated Press.
All of the family members are reportedly in stable condition and are being treated for minor "exposure issues."

Last month, I took a look at just a few basic things you can do with NFC tags and a capable phone. The possibilities of things that you can do with NFC are only limited to your own ingenuity, and we've teamed up with TagsForDroid to help you get started playing with this amazing and fun technology.
Before we get into the giveaway, though, here's another look at our demo from last month:
Like I said, those are just some of the more basic things that you can do with NFC. When combined with the power of Tasker, it really opens a whole new world of automation.
This giveaway is sponsored by TagsForDroid, a go-to place for all things NFC. They offer both Android-ified and plain white tags for all of your NFC needs, ranging in packs from two tags, up to twenty. Currently, if you buy a ten pack or larger, you'll also score a free NFC keychain, which is perfect for launching on-the-go tasks at the gym, in the car, or anywhere else you may need it.
The contest is now over. Here are the winners, selected at random:
- Kasey Freeman
- Garrick Raigosa
- ScottyByrd
- Abel
Paul Mendez(no response after multiple contact attempts)
- Virgilio Enmanuel
- Scott Kennedy
- TheKaz1969

Everyone else - keep participating and stay tuned to Android Police so that you don't miss our upcoming giveaway announcements. You can follow AP on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and RSS.
Ah, the reason why you're here: free stuff. Here's the skinny: we're giving away ten packs of five tags plus one NFC keychain each to ten lucky winners.
So, how do you enter? Drop us a line in the comments telling us how you'll use the tags to automate things in your life? Will you use the tags for a profile in the car? How about a nighttime profile before bed? Or something more intricate? Whatever the reason, just let us know.
The giveaway begins immediately and ends on Sunday, June 3rd at 11:59 PM PT, at which time the winners will be chosen at random and notified.
Good luck!

The world's top-selling game is about to go on sale for the first time since its inception.
So you if you are among the handful of people who still don't own a Wii, put a trip to the electronics store on this weekend's to do list.
Tech blog Engadget says the Wii, which has cost $250 since its 2006 launch, will see its price drop of $50 starting Sunday.
Engadget posted what it says is a leaked memo from Best Buy Co. talking about the price drop Wednesday morning.
Representatives for Best Buy and Nintendo Co. did not immediately return phone messages left by The Associated Press.
Speculation about a price cut has grown after Sony Corp. and Microsoft Corp. reduced prices on their systems in August. And video game blog Kotaku has posted what it says are images of flyers from major retailers advertising an upcoming Wii price cut.
Wii Will Be Cheaper This Christmas
The world's top-selling game is about to go on sale for the first time since its inception.

"Our profession of faith begins with God, for God is the First and the Last, the beginning and the end of everything. The Credo begins with God the Father, for the Father is the first divine person of the Most Holy Trinity; our Creed begins with the creation of heaven and earth, for creation is the beginning and the foundation of all God's works."
---the Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 198
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

2002 Volnay, Cru, Clos des Chênes, 1er Domaine Michel Lafarge
Smoky blackberries, dark cherries, pepper, and fresh herbs can be detected in the aromatic profile of the 2002 Volnay Clos des Chenes. Rich, deep, and concentrated, it exhibits loads of resin-laced blackberries. This medium-bodied offerings prolonged finish is crammed with ripe tannin, suggesting that patience will be required. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018.

About this WINE
Domaine Michel Lafarge
Michel Lafarge, now in his eighties, and his son Frédéric make use of their combined experience top produce some of the greatest Burgundy wines in Volnay. There is nothing modern in their winemaking, though the meticulous care of their biodynamically farmed vineyards puts the domaine at the forefront of viticultural practices. When they are working ona patch of vines they are usually accompanied by their hens who eat up any little pests which may be lurking!
They have around 10 hectares of vines and own some of the very best sites in Volnay. The vines are mature but not excessively old and yields are low without being draconian. There is very little new oak used, and the current mix is 5% new oak, with the balance of 2-to 5-year-old wood. The wines are handled as seldom as possible, with only a couple of rackings, a light fining and rarely any filtration.
The Lafarge domaine is run very much by instinct and respect for the terroir, with no sense of imposition and with biodynamic techniques. The wines are allowed to speak for themselves and are wonderfully fragrant, complex and harmonious - the essence of great Volnay.
The finest and most elegant red wines of the Côte de Beaune are grown in Volnay, a village which might be twinned with Chambolle- Musigny in the Côte de Nuits, for the high active chalk content in the soil and comparatively low clay content.Whereas in earlier times Volnay was made in a particularly light, early drinking style, these days there are many producers making wines which age extremely well. The best vineyards run either side of the RN73 trunk road.
- 98 hectares of village Volnay
- 115 hectares of Premier Cru vineyards (35 in all). The finest include Les Taillepieds, Clos des Chênes, Champans, Caillerets (including Clos des 60 Ouvrées) and Santenots in Meursault.
- Recommended producers: Lafarge, Lafon, de Montille
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or.
Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
Because of the thinness of the skins, Pinot Noir wines are lighter in colour, body and tannins. However the best wines have grip, complexity and an intensity of fruit seldom found in wine from other grapes. Young Pinot Noir can smell almost sweet, redolent with freshly crushed raspberries, cherries and redcurrants. When mature, the best wines develop a sensuous, silky mouth feel with the fruit flavours deepening and gamey "sous-bois" nuances emerging.
The best examples are still found in Burgundy, although Pinot Noir`s key role in Champagne should not be forgotten. It is grown throughout the world with notable success in the Carneros and Russian River Valley districts of California, and the Martinborough and Central Otago regions of New Zealand.

Take Action On Vouchers
NEA opposes proposals that would use taxpayer dollars for private school vouchers. Vouchers are the wrong choice for public school reform. We need to strengthen neighborhood schools, improve classroom teaching, and enhance student achievement.
Congress is considering whether to extend funding for the District of Columbia "opportunity scholarship" voucher porgram.
NEA opposes this proposal.
Tell your U.S. Senators and Representative: Invest in great public schools for every student -- reject private school vouchers.

Justified Season 4 episode 8 recap
Hangover thoughts from last week's episode: We definitely met Drew Thompson at that swingers' party. My money is on Lee Paxton or Gerald Johns, the dudes who put the screws to Boyd. Speaking of, a lot of people objected to the idea that someone tells a Crowder what to do. But think about it—Bo Crowder was backed by the Cuban mafia, the Dixie mafia is backed by Detroit. I don't think it's beyond reckoning that these guys might have been picking up the slack while Bo Crowder was in jail for years and years. Besides, didn't our collective, "Boyd will f*ck your sh*t up HARD" reaction say everything about these Clover Hill rich idiots thinking they run Harlan? They're living on borrowed time, probably literally.
Also: Totally slipped my mind but Gutterson at the VA hospital with his Army buddy is the first time we've seen him after hours where he's not drinking/drunk. Maybe he's not the high-functioning alcoholic time bomb I feared. Or maybe he's just a terrible hypocrite, riding his buddy about going to meetings while he himself slides into the bottle. We'll find out.
Oh yeah, and "Ella Mae" is actually "EllEN Mae". I am so sh*t with TV show names.
I forgot how much I liked Sheriff Hunter before he tried to have Raylan killed. He's one of the only people in Harlan that can deal with Raylan on the same level. Still, he's reluctant to give up Drew Thompson. Seriously, who is this guy?
Gerald Johns is trying to plan Boyd's murder of that mining boss, Frank. He then explains how Boyd is basically his garbage man. Boyd is like, "I am going to fling acid in your face. Just as soon as I figure out how to bleed you dry first."
HOLY SH*T. Did Sheriff Hunter just kill Arlo?!
Raylan is going to be PISSED if anyone else got to kill his dad.
Drew's ex/widow is browsing mugshots. She's probably full of it, but she's spunky. I don't think any show consistently writes such interesting women as this one.
Raylan attempts to blow off the news about Arlo getting shanked. They don't think he'll make it through the night. But…it's Arlo. He's a wily old coot. Right?
Boyd goes to see Frank, who is crotchety, and Frank, too, is like "Insults to your FACE!" Boyd is going to end up killing everyone on Clover Hill at this rate.
Boyd doesn't tell Ava that Frank didn't go for his "buy your life" plan. Lying to Ava doesn't ever end well. And someone (probably Johnny) is tormenting Colt about losing Ellen Mae. He wants $20K for not telling Boyd. Crowder's bar is turning into a powder keg.
Wynn Duffy turns up to warn Boyd that if he doesn't find Drew Thompson some scary Detroit gun thug is going to kill them instead.
And enter the Detroit gun thug, dressed as a sheriff's deputy. He offs Frank, so at least that's one thing less on Boyd's plate.
How has Thomas Haden Church not been on Justified? Doesn't he seem like he'd fit right in?
Aw, are we going to have an ill-fated Sheriff Shelby/Ellen Mae romance? Except Shelby won't stop pressing about Ava.
Oh, so here we go. That drug dealer that Gutterson and his buddy visited is dealing to Colton. And Colton wants to borrow the $20K, but ends up killing him. Because Colt is f*cking crazy. And he's on a crash course with Gutterson. That won't end well for one of them. At least he finds some money.
And—oh crap. Mark, Gutterson's buddy, witnesses Colton killing the drug dealer. And Colton found him. So a) Mark is still using and 2) he is F*CKED. Because now he's in Colton's vortex of crazy.
No doubt Colton will frame Mark for killing the dealer. Because Mark is dead, and convenient. And Gutterson is going to open some serious whoop ass.
Raylan and Arlo in the prison hospital. Raylan is pressing for Drew Thompson's identity. Arlo's response, "Kiss my ass." Father of the year, that one.
Is everyone in Clover Hill kinky? Fifty Shades of Fried Kentucky.
The Detroit gun thug kills another guy on Clover Hill. There's a hooker tied to his bed. Poor hooked tied to the bed. That's not a good place to be.
I really like Sheriff Shelby. I will miss him when he is inevitably killed.
Ha! Boyd gave Wynn his "enemies list" to have the gun thug kill them, thinking they could be Drew Thompson. See how Boyd works?
The gun thug is "arresting" Boyd and Raylan is like, "Son, you don't give me orders," and then blows the guy away. Raylan is having like, a REALLY bad day.
And there it is—the promo shot in context. Justified does these really cool promos before a new season that takes something from the season and dislocates it, making it tough to tell what is really happening. Raylan just did this to Detroit gun thug, but in Boyd's bar, not the woods. LOVE.
Colton being around a little league game scares the bejesus out of me. Colton being around anyone scares me, actually. He's so crazy. And yep, it was Johnny extorting him.
Boyd cuts out Wynn Duffy, making a deal directly with Nick Augustine and Detroit. Bold move. Duffy is a fruitcake. I wouldn't want to be on his bad side.
Could Shelby…be Drew Thompson? His wife left him 25 years ago…he wants to see the widow…hmm.
And Raylan's like, "Oh yeah, he's dead. I heard an hour ago."
Art and Raylan actually bargain over how much bereavement time Raylan will take. There is surely no love lost between Arlo and Raylan, but there's also—Raylan is clearly thinking if they bag Drew Thompson, Art will retire on a high note and he'll be up for the chief deputy spot, since he closed the big case. But Raylan's life does not work that way. It will blow up in his face.
Boyd has Furry Arnold plus Lee Paxton and Gerald Johns in his bar.
And here's the second part of his play—he used Nick Augustine to cut off the Clover Hill connections in Harlan County. They have no one to dispose of Boyd now. And he wants $100K from each them. Plus…A DAIRY QUEEN.
Lula, who lives near the real Harlan, was just telling me how the DQ is the happening place around town, but the show has never mentioned it. Well there you go. Boyd wants a DQ. Because they're like "California real estate—value may dip, but it always goes back up in the summertime." OMG. I love Boyd.
We say farewell to Arlo. Whose last words to his only son were, "Kiss my ass."
Raylan's body count so far: 2/17
Number of Dairy Queens: 1

Chapter 11 is out.
okay... that last knight's helmet made me NOPE real hard.
Holy hell.
And chapter 12 is out as well.
I didn't expect it to happen to both powerhouses. Is Nakaba forcing Elizabeth to act so soon? I wouldn't say "no" that.
Uchihas and Aizens have really turned me off to illusion/hypnotism type powers, but this could be a really good chance to make Elizabeth useful.
Who cares about them? Ban is going to rape that girl.
Holy shit, Ban is a worse than Meliodas. He my favorite character now.
That's Greed for ya... takes what he likes, and opens prison bars like a curtain lol
Super excited about this manga!
Chapter 13
I lovin'n you more and more Ban, you greedy bastard!
And we already got Elizabeth's putting herself on line to help everyone. It was nicely done though.
Holy shit, that was badass of Elizabeth.
She's been a nice, endearing character but honestly she's just been protected by everyone else. Then she takes the initiative and took a giant beating to be able to do something so clever? And doing it in a cool way too. She didn't just grab the bell and sighed in relief, she spat out the bell and gave the knight the most condescending, fuck you grin. My opinion of her has shot through the roof. I'm really loving this series.
For some reason I am really enjoying this.
Its not too deep or serious, but it has a relentless energy to it.
I hope at some point in the future it gets an anime.
A decent anime.
I hate when villains reveal their plan (just... why?) but Elizabeth was pretty badass.
Elizabeth has taken more physical damage in 5 pages than Nami has in almost 700 chapters.
And that's pretty damn sad.
Robin was badly beaten by Spandam too.
One Piece has become a little soft since the timeskip. We may not see these kind of shocking violence moments anymore.
I'm liking Elizabeth more now. Meliodas is a bit too good of a fighter at this point, though, I'd like to see him struggle a bit more. It's not very exciting to see him one-shot fodder guys, although, it's given they're not even built as a serious threat with the whole "Ha ha! Your puny fist is no match for my super-abs!"

I'm way behind on keeping you updated about my purchases so here's a long update for July…..
The Scream – Let It Scream (1991) – $8.50 used
Johnny Lima – Shine On (2004) – $8.50 used
Shok Paris – Go For The Throat (1984/2010 reissue) – $12
Sister Sin – Dance Of The Wicked (2003/2013 reissue) – $10
Queensryche (featuring Todd LaTorre) – s/t (2013 limited edition box) – $14
Oliva – Raise The Curtain (2013) – $11.50
A World With Heroes: A KISS Tribute For Cancer Care (2013) – $25
All the way back to July for this set of purchases! There really wasn't much I was going to buy this month but I managed to squeeze in a few new releases and some Ebay scores. I started off on a quick Ebay hit by winning both The Scream and Johnny Lima CDs from the same seller for $16 total. I was sure I had The Scream in my collection but I was wrong so I wanted to fill the void quickly and I've been on the hunt for any Johnny Lima CDs at a decent price. My third Ebay win was an official reissue from Auburn Records of the first Shok Paris album. I already picked up a copy back in May but it was a bootleg reissue and not officially sanctioned by the band or Auburn Records. I made an Amazon purchase shortly after of some new releases that I hadn't picked up yet…..Sister Sin, Queensryche and Oliva (Jon Oliva's solo project, not Jon Oliva's Pain). I had been watching the sale prices at the local record store but Amazon just beats them out everytime. I'm all about supporting my local record store but it's actually becoming a hassle going there especially when the selection is always the same and the prices are comparable, if not better, at Amazon. Not to mention that I'm an Amazon Prime member so shipping is free and no sales tax! Looking at my notes, I saved at least $10 by going through Amazon. My last CD for July was a benefit KISS tribute CD for cancer care, organized by major KISS fan and rock writer Mitch LaFon and distributed through Pledge Music. $25 got me a double disc of 40 songs, plus exclusive download and iTunes bonus content and my money went to a great cause. Please follow the link to read more about the project.
Heaven & Earth – Dig (2013) – $16
Amon Amarth – Deceiver Of The Gods (2013 Deluxe Edition) – $16
Whitesnake – Made In Britain (2CD) (2013) – $0
Satan – Life Sentence (2013) – $16
Scorpion Child – s/t (2013) – $13
Sirenia – Perils Of The Deep (2013) – $0
Butcher Babies – Goliath (2013) – $13
The Winery Dogs – s/t (2013) – $13
Seven Witches – Rebirth (2013) – $0
Lynch Mob – Sound Mountain Sessions E.P. (2012) – $6
Geezer – Ohnwork (2005) – $0 used
I did make it out to the record store once in July for a "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" sale on all CDs so I made the 30 minute drive up to the Norwood, MA Newbury Comics to get a different selection from my two local Newbury Comics stores. I decided to get a lot of new releases obviously and I'm really out to stretch every dollar when I hit these type of sales so I went in with a budget of $100 and I spent $99! I got a bunch of great 2013 new releases and some of the free ones were actually on sale so I saved even more compared to the regular prices. My strategy is to group the highest prices together for maximum savings that way the higher priced CDs are free. I picked up the new Heaven & Earth and Amon Amarth albums for $16 each but I got the new Whitesnake live double disc for free saving the $16 sale price ($20 regular price). My next grouping was the new Satan and Scorpion Child albums for $16 and $13 and getting the new Sirenia for free, saving $13 on sale ($18 regular price) with the extra reward being that the Scorpion Child CD was on sale for $13 instead of the $18 regular price. My third grouping was the new Butcher Babies for $13 ($18 regular) and The Winery Dogs debut for another $13 ($16 regular) with the latest from Seven Witches for free and saving a straight $10. My last grouping was the Lynch Mob E.P. for $6, a CD for my daughter that cost $6 and the last Geezer record for free, saving $4 used. I wasn't going to buy my daughter a CD because I have my own collection to think about it but how can you resist your kids? Plus, with sales tax, I would have gone over my personal budget so going a little over by buying my daughter a CD is OK!
Once I got home I decided to check my actual savings…..I'm a geek, what can I say? I selected every album and put them in an Amazon cart except for the Geezer CD which I found on Ebay and got a grand total of $122. I actually spent $93 on my CDs with $6 sales tax for a total of $99 at the record shop…..so I saved $23 going to the store. The savings continues when you look at the free CDs that totaled $43 and the sale prices that saved another $13. Had I bought all these CDs straight up at the record store it would have totalled $126. Did you get all that?
Total = $182.50
Total (year) = $1629
Average Price (per item) = $10.79
Total CDs (year) = 134
Total DVDs & BluRays (year) = 4
Total LPs (year) = 6
Total Box Sets (year) =7

You've got to admire director Jon Favreau, After defying expectations and pretty much cementing "The Avengers" as a viable movie project with two out-of-the-park "Iron Man" efforts, he could have coasted back to the small, character-driven comedies he cut his teeth on in order to unwind.
But no. Instead, he decided to mash up two of cinema's most iconic figures - the cowboy and the alien - and then, as if that weren't heavy-lifting enough, he cast two of cinema's most iconic figures - Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford - to take the lead.
It's "Cowboys and Aliens" and it's James Bond and Indiana Jones. And it's opening this Friday.
U.S. & World
Although very loosely based on a 2006 comic book of the same name, "Cowboys and Aliens" pretty much takes the basic concept and runs with it. Craig plays a cowboy who wakes up in the middle of the desert with no idea who he is, how he got there, or how he got a mysterious metal gauntlet strapped around his wrist. His eventual run-in with an angry posse leader, played by Ford, is interrupted when alien spaceships swoop in from above. The rest of the movie is laser blasts against six-shooters, with Olivia Wilde ("Tron: Legacy"), Sam Rockwell ("Iron Man 2"), Paul Dano ("There Will Be Blood"), and Clancy Brown ("Starship Troopers") getting in on the action.
Could be awesome, could be a head-scratcher - but the odds of it being boring are pretty much nil.
"Cowboys and Aliens" opens everywhere Friday.

Arthur Jones: Some Unlearning Thoughts about HIT
(Note: I wrote this piece for Classic X in June of 1999. More than 5 years later, the material is still as relevant today as it was then.)
by Ellington Darden, Ph.D.
A visit with Arthur Jones is always meaningful. If hes in a talkative mood, its an educational experience youll never forget. Even if hes upset or angry, youll learn something if you just keep your mouth shut and listen.
On April 28, 1999, I spent three hours with Arthur. He was in good spirits probably because I brought a smart, attractive woman with me on my visit. The woman was Jeanenne Schindele. Ive mentioned Jeanenne several times in my previous articles. Shes helped me greatly with the interior design of my home in Celebration, and I strength trained her for several months. Anyway, Jeanenne had heard a lot about Jones and wanted to meet him.
We drove from Orlando to Ocala, where Arthur resides, and arrived at his home at approximately 1:00 PM.
Jones was sitting on his trusty couch surrounded on his right side by a small bookcase and on his left side by a larger series of shelves, both of which were crammed full of volumes he had read over the last year.
In front of Arthur, on a medium-sized coffee table, were a couple of worn cardboard boxes. It was these two boxes that occupied Arthurs interest.
After the normal introductions, Jones proceeded to dig through the boxes with much curiosity. Then, he started bringing out all these old black-and-white photos, which were assembled in musty envelopes, of his adventures in Africa during the 1960s.
A young Arthur Jones, in 1958 at age 32, is shown with a poisonous beaded lizard. Great diversity, according to Jones, allowed him to approach muscle building from a different perspective than those preceding him. By the time Jones invented Nautilus and developed HIT principles in 1970, he had recorded more than 17,000 hours flying airplanes, traveled to 56 foreign countries, become fluent in eight languages, captured many lions, jaguars, monkeys, snakes, crocodiles, and elephants, and produced and directed more than 200 films for television.
Id heard Arthur talk about these pictures a few times, but Id never seen them. Neither had Arthur for more than 25 years. Arthurs third wife, Eliza, discovered the missing photographs during a move from Florida to England. She had recently returned the boxes to Arthur.
In some of the pictures was a 40-year-old Arthur Jones holding a large snake, directing a film shoot, riding in a land rover, standing by an airplane, capturing a large Nile crocodile, and feeding a baby elephant.
As Jeanenne and I are looking at the pictures and listening to Arthur describe what had happened in each one, a sudden excitement permeates Jeanennes face.
Its Clark Gable
"Hey Arthur, examine all the pictures together," Jeanenne said, as she quickly arranged five of them in a scrapbook-like fashion. "Who does this man with the mustache and slick-backed hair remind you of?"
"I dont know, who?" Arthur replied, with a sly look in his eyes.
"Clark Gable . . . Arthur, you look like Clark Gable."
Jeanenne was right, Arthur did resemble Clark Gable.
Arthur smiled. Yes, other people years ago had noted the similarity. Interestingly, Clark Gable had worked as a roughneck in the oilfields around Seminole, Oklahoma, where Arthur grew up.
"I never met Gable when he was in Seminole," Arthur said. "I was just a kid then. Later, when Gable was a star in Hollywood, I cared little for his movies. I always liked the women he was with much better than the roles he played."
In Jeanennes mind Arthur looked very much the part of a dashing, handsome, rogue. And judging from the past stories that Ive heard from Jones, Jeanenne was correct.
From beautiful women, to wild animals, to politics . . . we talked about it all. Finally, we got on the subject of strength training.
An Arthur Jones Parable
"Why are so many people," I asked Arthur, "still hesitant to apply the sensible, logical, strength-training concepts that you developed in the 1970s?"
Arthur replied, as he often does, with a parable. While Ive written about this particular parable in my "Nautilus Bodybuilding Book," the story is worth repeating.
"Imagine you are on a hiking trip through some rugged desert terrain," Jones said. "You see a figure in the distance. Its an old man, bearded and half-naked, on hands and knees, with his fingers clawing at the hard, sandy earth.
"You ask, What are you doing?
" Im digging for gold.
" How long have you been at it?
" Weeks months maybe. Its painfully slow work.
"You notice the old mans bloody fingers, his raw and callused knuckles. You say, But listen, man! Digging with your bare hands is a pretty inefficient way to prospect for gold. That holes only a couple of feet deep. Let me loan you my shovel.
"You reach into your backpack, pull out a lightweight, tempered-edge spade, and drive it into the ground. Then, you show the man how he can break and scoop the hard sand much more efficiently. In less than five minutes you have demonstrated to the old fellow that he can make more progress in a few moments than he could in a month of using his bare hands.
"Then, an amazing thing happens," Jones said. "That old mans eyes fill with hate and his face flushes angrily. He charges at you and grabs the shovel from your hands. Hes now preparing to throw the shovel, or perhaps even try to beat you with it.
"You quickly retreat, and get the hell out of the old mans range, as the shovel comes crashing down behind you on the hard sand."
Thats not the end of the story. After a longer-than-normal pause, Arthur continued:
"If you return to that rugged location in the desert a year later, what would you expect to see that old man doing? Would he be using the shovel properly and have holes as big as school buses spread over the immediate and adjacent surroundings?
"No, absolutely not! Instead, the prospector would be at that same spot with a somewhat bigger hole still digging with his even-more-callused fingers. And there, in plain sight, only a few yards away . . . would be the unused, and now rusty, shovel."
Joness Assessment
Ive heard Arthur use this story in front of audiences of mostly bodybuilders. These men usually sit quietly for a long moment, mulling over what theyve heard. Then, their lips tighten and their heads shake a little from side to side as they examine their guilt. But most of them get the point. They recognize that Jones is saying they are exactly like that old man in the desert.
Another speaker might have asserted that they were too dumb to appreciate the logical, efficient way of "digging for gold." But not Arthur Jones. He made his point by talking about an old desert prospector who, when offered a performance-improving shovel (call it a Nautilus machine, a MedX machine, or a brief, intense routine), became infuriated and immediately rejected it.
"Such is human nature," Arthur noted. "Human beings are afraid, unsure, and fearful of change. Especially so, if theyve been even moderately successful in reaching some goal."
The old man while a failure at finding gold, did at least have a moderate-sized hole which he could be proud of didnt he?
But wait. Look at the time it took him to create that particular result? And remember his key objective was to dig more numerous and bigger holes so he could improve his probability of discovering gold.
Then, Arthur said, "Years ago, a reporter asked me . . . Mr. Jones, how old are you? I replied . . . Old enough to know that you cant change the thinking of fools but young and foolish enough to keep on trying.
"More recently, my life has been a series of outrages outrages brought on by foolish people. I have no use for fools. Yet, Im constantly subjected to their presence in every city, in every country. There is no place on the planet left untouched by foolish people.
"Im exhausted . . . Im tired of it all.
"But Im not ready to die, at least not tomorrow, or the next week, or the week after."
In my opinion, Arthur Jones is much too wise not to keep on trying.
The Unlearning Process
When I first met Arthur Jones in the summer of 1970, I was 28 years old and about to finish my Ph.D. in exercise science from Florida State University. After talking with me about strength training for ten minutes, Jones confronted me with the following:
"You think youre pretty smart, dont you?" Jones asked, as I nodded my head. "If you can unlearn everything youve learned about exercise and if you can do this unlearning before you reach age 40 youll be headed in the right direction. At age 40, at the zero level of learning then, maybe you can learn something of value. If so, youll indeed be smart."
I laughed sheepishly at what Jones said, not understanding the depth of his assessment.
But he was so right.
It did take me a dozen years to unlearn completely what I thought I knew about exercise and, I was motivated to unlearn. Most people with advanced degrees in exercise science or exercise physiology never unlearn. You might say that they remain stuck, stuck in the middle of a quagmire of near-useless theories and practices. Of course, they probably never had a chance to meet Arthur Jones, or study about exercise from such a wise teacher.
Now, more than a dozen years after I reached the zero level of learning, Im still trying to master many of the finer points of productive exercise. I do, however, have a handle on some important concepts that helped me in my unlearning and relearning processes. You can review a detailed version of the basics in my HIT books. Below are a few more points that helped me in my journey.
Some Unlearning Facts about Strength Training
• Strength training has attracted tens of millions of interested people. Few of these people are still exercising. Even fewer have attained anything close to significant results from their training.
• Most trainees become frustrated with their exercise gains (or lack of gains) because they are preoccupied with the accomplishments of others, usually the winners of bodybuilding competitions. Although this is difficult to do, trainees must strive to be acutely aware of their own achievements, within the context of their genetic potential.
• The muscle magazines focus primarily on the achievements and training of the champions. Such information has little relevance for the masses and their desire for satisfactory results.
• The bodybuilding champions have genetically responsive bodies. Since they have inherited much longer-than-average muscles and greater numbers of muscle fibers, the champions can train in almost any way and grow larger and stronger. This easy-to-misunderstand philosophy worked in spite of the techniques and routines that they followed. It was never a situation of whether they would grow; it was a case of at what rate. These genetically responsive individuals have little comprehension of why their techniques and routines do not work for average people.
• Genetically typical trainees have bodies with shorter muscles and fewer numbers of muscle fibers, which respond in much-lesser degrees than those of the champions. Muscular size and strength gains do not come quickly and easily for typical trainees.
• High levels of muscular size and strength are of great value, until taken to extremes. When bodybuilding progresses into a drug-fueled obsession, it becomes destructive. Some of the worlds most successful bodybuilders display lifestyles that have been severely degraded by such obsessions.
• The general philosophy behind getting bigger and stronger is relatively simple. Lift progressively heavier and heavier weights in good form. But this simple directive does not mean easy. The process requires hard work, attention to detail, and persistence.
• Brief, intense training should be the first resort, not the last. Do not waste years of training time experiencing almost every routine and technique before finally applying hard, brief exercise.
• On each repetition, keep the exercise style strict, slow, and smooth. Make no compromises on form.
Thanks, Arthur
Its difficult for most typical or average trainees to understand and finally admit that they are not gifted in the muscle-building department at least not to the same extent as are the long-muscled champions.
I personally experienced that same difficulty. However, standing beside such men as Casey Viator, Sergio Oliva, and Mike Mentzer with Jones pointing out the dramatic differences between my muscle bellies versus their muscle bellies helped me to observe, and finally learn, the truth.
I was no slouch in bodybuilding circles in the 1960s and 1970s. But it became increasingly plain to me after comparing my contracted arms and legs several times with Casey, Sergio, and Mike that I could never have their muscular size and shape . . . NEVER!
I guess, with me, you could say: "Seeing multiple times is believing!"
Championship bodybuilding, at the national and world level, is a contest of genetic freaks. Involved are one-in-a-million type men, who are anything but typical. Champion bodybuilders, who are featured in the muscle magazines, are like a collection of seven-foot tall, National Basketball Association centers except the bodybuilders have the genetics to develop huge, volumetric, seven-foot muscles. Both groups possess rare inherited traits, which can be a giant advantage.
No, its not fair.
Thats not to say, however, that you and I cant build significant levels of size and strength. We can. But its considerably more arduous for us.
We need to help each other. But to do so, we must stay realistic.
I always admired Jones for his brutally realistic and honest approach to bodybuilding . . . and to life. It helped me unlearn and relearn more efficiently.
Arthur Jones knew years ago that he resembled Clark Gable. But he also knew he was not Gable; he didnt have Gables genes. He was Arthur Jones. Why not be Arthur Jones, and become all Arthur Jones could become . . . in the most efficient manner? And so he did.
Thanks, Arthur, for challenging us to operate in a similar way.
Please remain alive and well . . . and continue to keep on trying and kicking.

A story on CNN-Money today by Steve Hargreaves asks "What will BP really pay?" I think a more fundamental question to ask at this point is "What should BP pay? And should no one else?" As the story explains (emphasis added):
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — The Gulf oil spill is going to cost billions to clean up, a tab BP has publicly pledged to pay in full.
But thanks to the unpredictable nature of the oil slick and the legal maze surrounding maritime law, what BP will pay and to whom is very much an open question…
Start with the costs. Estimates to clean the spill and compensate other parties for the economic damage run from $2 billion to $14 billion. One politician even said it could run into the hundreds of billions…
…which is a lot of money, too much for even BP to cover (whose profits were (coincidentally) around $14 billion last year).
BP's public pledge notwithstanding, there are limits on what the government can make them pay, and the question is what can be done about it. Policymakers are starting to realize that if the costs are paid through anything more than a simple one-time fine on BP only–which BP would just have to "suck up" (pun intended)–that the burden of those costs will be spread (emphasis added):
BP's liabilities may be capped by a federal rule that limits the payouts for economic damages stemming from an oil spill to $75 million. Once that threshold is reached, a federal fund kicks in, covering an additional $1 billion. The federal fund is paid for by a 8-cents-a-barrel tax on oil produced or imported into the United States…
To ward off any confusion, lawmakers in the House and Senate have introduced bills raising the liability cap from $75 million to $10 billion, an initiative they've dubbed the "Big Oil Bailout Prevention Act." Lawmakers say there's precedent for making the law retroactive: Witness the Superfund, which forced polluters to reimburse the government for toxic cleanup.
Given the public outrage over the spill, and the fact that it's an election year, the bills stands a good chance of passing.
But not everyone thinks it's a good idea. If the cap is increased, Nelson predicts that it will only raise the cost of buying insurance for all companies producing offshore oil.
"You're going to pay for that at the gas pump," he said.
There's certainly an appeal to covering the costs of cleaning up (or trying to clean up) the oil spill entirely through a fine levied solely on BP, but that's only on fairness and public-perception grounds. Such a fine would be an example of what economists call a "lump-sum tax"–a tax which could not be avoided by changing behavior, in this case because it's based on something that already happened. (Any tax on anything that happened in the past–any "retroactive" tax–is a lump-sum tax.) Economists generally like lump-sum taxes, because they don't distort economic decisions. And when such a tax cannot be avoided by changing economic behavior, the burden of such a tax is also unable to be shifted to other participants in the taxed market. In the case of the BP oil spill (perhaps better called an "explosion"?), this probably seems good and "right" on fairness grounds, at least to most of the American public who aren't directly employed by or invested in BP.
But it turns out that on economic efficiency grounds, the fact that a tax or fine on BP alone would amount to a lump-sum tax that would not get passed along to any of the other participants in the BP marketplace or the oil market more generally is a bad thing. Because the BP oil spill reveals more than any lack of adequate quality and safety controls in BP's production operations. It reveals more generally the risks associated with oil production, risks that translate into large social costs that go unpriced in the oil market. It is a classic case of a "negative externality," where the social costs of producing and consuming a good exceed the private costs paid through market prices. In such a case, economic theory says that intentionally distorting market prices through public policy–in the case of a negative externality, through a tax representing the excess of social marginal costs over private marginal costs–would improve economic efficiency.
The BP oil spill provides us a new and very in-your-face lesson: that the excess of social costs over private costs (the "external costs") associated with fossil fuels go beyond the "biggie" of global warming via the consumption (burning) of fossil fuels–a very long-term phenomenon that is very difficult to predict the economic and social costs of (and hence is easy for us to ignore). The BP oil spill reveals that there are more immediate and clear (and very visual and quantifiable) social costs associated with fossil fuels in terms of the risks to the environment on the production/extraction side of the market. So now there are at least two major reasons why for economic and social efficiency, fossil fuels should be taxed: (i) because of the external costs associated with global warming resulting from the consumption of fossil fuels; and (ii) because of the external costs associated with the risky extraction strategies used in the production of fossil fuels. And both these reasons suggest that there is no way that the right policy response to the BP oil spill–from an economic efficiency, maximize social welfare standpoint–is just to "fine the hell out of BP" (alone) and run BP (alone) out of business. (Even from a fairness perspective, it's not at all clear that this kind of accident couldn't have happened with any other company's well.) The right policy needs to indeed spread the burden of the costs of cleaning up the oil spill to all participants in the oil marketplace, including those of us who innocently just fill up our tanks with gasoline. Only when the extra social costs of the environmental risks associated with both fossil fuel production (e.g., risk of offshore drilling mishaps) and fossil fuel consumption (e.g., global warming, pollution) are incorporated into the prices all of us face in the fossil fuel markets we participate in, will we be led to make the correct, or at least better, decisions from a social welfare standpoint, not just from our own selfish standpoints. These better decisions include the oil companies using safer production methods (which likely means producing less offshore), and consumers buying less gasoline.
Unfortunately, politicians won't see it that way. Even pro-environment types in Congress were cold to President Obama's climate change proposal last year that would have raised gasoline and other fossil fuels prices. (Psst: That's how climate change policy is supposed to work, by the way, and the President's proposal was a good one.) The U.S. isn't in the practice of taxing fossil fuels; in fact, we're in the habit of subsidizing the oil and gas industry via tax preferences. We get that wrong in two ways: we increase the deficit, and we worsen the economic inefficiencies (and just plain environmental damage) associated with fossil fuels. Now with the BP disaster to more clearly and immediately remind us that we've been getting this all wrong, we should be trying to make those two wrongs two rights. This should motivate policymakers to implement smart climate change policy–i.e., a policy that would actually raise fossil fuel prices (that all of us pay) and raise revenue for deficit reduction (or to avoid deficit increases)–as soon as possible.
