We're almost three weeks into 2016 and I haven't had a rant about anything yet. But never fear. I've recently seen the new dystopian comedy movie The Lobster, directed by the man who made 2009's Dogtooth, Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos. And yes, it's left me in full ranting mode.
The Lobster tells the story of David, played by Colin Farrell, who's been dumped by his wife and is thus in a pickle – because he lives in a weird future society where coupledom is sacred and being single is so unacceptable that singletons are sent to a facility called the Hotel, which really is like a big bland hotel, and given 45 days there to pair off.
Anyone who remains a bachelor or spinster by the end of the 45 days faces a strange punishment. They get surgically transformed into an animal of their choice. David's decided that, in the worst-case scenario, he'll become a lobster because "lobsters live for over 100 years, are blue-blooded like aristocrats, and stay fertile all their lives." This fate has already befallen David's brother, who's been turned into a dog and who accompanies him to the Hotel.
I thought The Lobster's bizarre premise sounded appealing – especially nowadays, when you can hardly move without tripping over yet another lame romantic-comedy movie from the USA or Britain broadcasting the message that there's something wrong with you if you're single; and the only route to happiness is to be shacked up and in lurve with somebody. I'd welcome a sharp black comedy that craps over those irritating rom-coms and their facile assumption that happiness = coupledom.
Even more promisingly, The Lobster had amassed a score of 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, the film-review aggregator website. So I headed to see it with high hopes.
Looking at that Rotten Tomatoes score now, though, I can only surmise that my funny bone is located in a very different place from where it's located in the majority of the world's film critics. For the film failed to coax a single laugh out of me. I don't think there was a single moment during its 118-minute running time when my lips formed even an approximation of a smile.

The first thing that bugged me about The Lobster was an issue of personal taste. It's one of those dystopian science fiction movies that are supposedly set in the future, but actually take place in the present day. Everyone looks the same, dresses the same, drives the same cars, lives in the same houses, potters around the same furniture, etc., as they do now. This approach I always find patronising. The filmmakers are telling me that terrible stuff is happening in this future society they're depicting. But hey, if you think about it – nudge, nudge, wink, wink – the same terrible stuff is happening to us today! Look – this is really our society now! Wow! Thank you, Mr Intellectual Filmmakers. I'm much too thick to have worked that out by myself.
I suppose this is one of many things that we can blame the French for. French-directed sci-fi movies like Jean-Luc Goddard's Alphaville (filmed in contemporary Paris), Francois Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451 (filmed in contemporary locations in England and France) and Bertrand Tavernier's Death Watch (filmed in contemporary Glasgow) tried the same shtick in 1965, 1966 and 1979 respectively.
Incidentally, the big sci-fi element of The Lobster, the transformation of humans into animals, is neither shown nor developed. It disappears from the plot halfway through and I suspect Lanthimos only included it in the first place because it gave him an opportunity to show some extreme black-comedy scenes where cute animals get abused. Remember, though, that the cute animals being abused aren't really animals – they're transformed people.
Now I enjoy a bit of cute-animal abuse as much as the next heartless brute – for example, the scene in A Fish Called Wanda (1988) where a Yorkshire terrier gets flattened by a steamroller. But during The Lobster, somehow, even the images of a cute donkey being shot in the head and David's cute dog / brother getting kicked to death failed to raise a chuckle from me.
The film also suffers from a busy soundtrack. For one thing, you have some very intrusive background music of the classical / stringed variety. And then there's a voice-over by Rachel Weisz, who plays one of a band of fugitive non-conformists called the Loners, who hide out in a nearby forest, live strictly as singletons and stage guerrilla attacks on the couple-obsessed society they've run away from. (Later in the film, David escapes from the Hotel and joins the Loners, only to violate their moral code too by forming a romantic attachment with the Weisz character.) It's rarely a good sign when you get a voice-over in a movie – having someone tell you what's going on usually means that the writers don't think their script is good enough to show you what's going on. And it doesn't help either that Weisz's flat, strained voice is hard to listen to. Which brings me to the acting…
(c) Element Pictures / Scarlet Films
I can't deny that the cast is good. Not only are there Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz, but also John C. Reilly, Olivia Coleman, Ashley Jensen and James Bond alumni Léa Seydoux and Ben Wishaw. In the later scenes, when David is living in the forest with the Loners, even the ubiquitous Irish actor Michael Smiley shows his face, although it's a bit unclear what he's doing there. (I suspect Smiley was in another part of the forest shooting a different movie – probably some low-budget British horror effort with a title like The Outpost IV – when Lanthimos and co. noticed him and shouted, "Hey, Michael! Do you want to be in our movie too? Come over here for a few minutes!" Actually, he should have stayed with The Outpost IV.)
Alas, the quality cast is hamstrung by the fact that everyone performs in a stilted, numb and naïve manner, which presumably is how the citizens would behave in a stultifying society that worships domesticity. But the stiltedness of the performances becomes wearying. Farrell's dazed, not-all-there mannerisms are most tiring of all because we're with him for the whole film. You end up feeling you've spent two hours stuck in a lift with Father Dougal McGuire from Father Ted.
And yes, two hours is much too long for this movie. At sixty percent of that length, it might've got away with it – introducing us to its ideas and then buggering off before the novelty wore off. By the time that David joins the Loners in the forest, I was mentally pleading for things to stop. But The Lobster just keeps going on and on and on.
By the way, those forest scenes reminded me of the Woody Allen movies Bananas (1971) and Sleeper (1973), wherein Allen finds himself living reluctantly with guerrilla-groups in the wilderness. Oh, how I longed for a gag in The Lobster where Colin Farrell asks for "grapefruit segments, two poached eggs, cinnamon toast and regular coffee" at the camp mess and gets served mashed lizard instead, or mucks up his basic weapons training by holding onto the grenade and throwing the pin, or is urinated on while practising camouflaging himself as a bush, which is what happened to Woody Allen in those 'early, funny ones'.
The Lobster has one thing going for it, which is some gorgeous Irish scenery – it was filmed in the countryside of County Kerry. But that was the only good thing as far as I was concerned. After two hours, I was relieved to escape from its claws.

- Facebook user recounts how a man escaped a near lynching thanks to lessons learned from Maj. Mahama's killing
- Says the suspect shot an innocent bystander by mistake
- The suspect is allegedly in police custody
A Facebook user by the name of Dzifa Sedudzi has related how an incident of instant mob justice did not result in the death of the perceived perpetrator because, according to him, Ghanaians have learned from the late Major Mahama's lynching incident.

According to Dzifa Sedudzi, the incident occurred somewhere around Alajo, not too far away from the new Kwame Nkrumah interchange.
Recounting the sequence of events, the owner of the smashed red sedan vehicle got into a verbal altercation with another road user, prompting him [smashed car owner] to reach into his vehicle, grabbing his gun to fire a warning shot or two.

Dzifa Sedudzi related that when the red car owner attempted to fire another shot his attention was distracted by his girlfriend/companion, who was trying to get him to stop.
"In his attempt to fire another, his girlfriend distracted him with the purpose of stopping him. The bullet (stray) hit a third person, a pedestrian. But for the Maj. Mahama incident, the suspect would have been lynched--I know my people." Wrote Dzifa.

Dzifa goes on to say that Ghanaians seem to have learned a lesson, probably referring to the late Major Maxwell Adams Mahama's killing, although the she writes that there's still more room for improvement.
Her recount of the incident ends by revealing that the suspect [who fired the shots] is currently in police custody, although she fails to mention which police station is detaining him.

I can't thank the team enough, they really have changed our lives. We'd be lost without this service
Communication and explanation excellent and you took time to ensure my mother understood what to do. Very pleased to understand that the smoke and monoxide alarms were also linked to the service. Well done, thank you
My grateful thanks for the wonderful services of the personnel and fantastic equipment. I am delighted to enjoy the peace of mind afforded by knowing help will be at hand should I need it. At 84, deaf and registered partially sighted this is wonderful

Intracardiac B‐Cell Lymphoma Presenting as New‐Onset Atrial Fibrillation and Diastolic Heart Failure
1Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2007, May 23-25, Dallas, Texas
Abstract number: 117
Case Presentation:
A 68‐year‐old woman was admitted to a tertiary referral center after presenting to her local emergency department (ED) with a complaint of shortness of breath. She initially presented to the ED with a 6‐week history of dyspnea and cough. The results of her physical exam and chest x‐ray were consistent with heart failure, with an echocardiogram demonstrating diastolic dysfunction but preserved left ventricular function. The acute exacerbation of her cardiomyopathy was believed to be a result of an upper respiratory tract infection, and she was treated with antibiotics and an injection of methylprednisolone. Immediately after the steroid injection she became hypotensive and developed atrial fibrillation. On transfer, a chest CT on a pulmonary embolism protocol showed a right ventricular mass, which was confirmed by a repeat echocardiogram. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging demonstrated increased uptake in the mass. The patient developed complete heart and underwent right heart catheterization for pacemaker placement and biopsy of the mass. Pathology demonstrated diffuse large B‐cell non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma. Staging with a CT scan and bilateral bone marrow biopsy demonstrated no other sites of disease. Because of her hypotensive episode with steroid infusion, she received her first course of CHOP (cyclo‐phosphamide, vincristine, adriamycin, prednisone) chemotherapy in the ICU, which occurred without complications.
Primary cardiac lymphoma is exceedingly rare, comprising fewer than 1% of all lymphomas and approximately 1.5% of cardiac tumors. More than 80% are B‐cell lymphomas, which often occur in immunocompromised hosts. The usual method of diagnosis is echocardiogram, and a PET scan can aid in the diagnosis. Patients can present with heart failure as well as arrhythmias and, as in the present case, hearts because of invasion into the conduction system. Chemotherapy is the treatment of choice. In addition to having the typical side effects of therapy, patients are at risk of cardiac perforation because most intracardiac lymphomas are invasive, and treatment results in rapid tumor regression. Because of the intravascular nature of this lymphoma, tumor lysis is also a concern with the initiation of treatment. Median survival from diagnosis is roughly 7 months, although some patients may be cured with chemotherapeutic treatment with or without stem cell transplant.
Heart failure is a common indication for hospital admission, with nearly 1.1 million admissions in 2003 according to the American Heart Association. Diastolic dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a cause of symptoms of cardiomyopathy. As demonstrated by the present case, diastolic dysfunction can occur as a result of a numerous processes including hypertension, cardiac ischemia, and infiltrative diseases. The present case illustrates how imaging can help to identify individuals whose heart failure may be a result of factors other than primary cardiac disease.

Chinese cloud-based content delivery service provider Xunlei is now facing not just one but two class action suits, this for allegedly spreading misleading information to its investors, consequently boosting their stock price.
The lawsuits, Li vs Xunlei and DOOKERAN Etc vs Xunlei, are filed against Xunlei and its executives: CEO Chen Lei, current CFO Eric Zhou, and former CFO Wu Tao. The claim was raised by stock investors who bought in within Oct.10, 2017 to Jan.11, 2018.
According to the filed suit, the misleading information first came when Xunlei announced during that period that it would shift its focus to blockchain technology. Later on, it did launch a blockchain-based token exclusively for its own cloud services. The suit alleges that the initial coin offerings made by the company were in actuality unlawful, a situation which was kept hidden from them through a series of statements constituting falsehoods. Because of this deception which cost them serious investments, the plaintiffs are now seeking relief through the courts.
This development is relevant largely because it is the first time that investors have come together to file a suit going after public companies that made questionable moves pivoting their services into the fast-growing cryptocurrency and blockchain turf. Xunlei is NYE Stock Exchange-listed, and was one of those companies publicly traded who, in 2017, saw a rapid rise in stock price before taking a sharp plunge when they made the transition to blockchain technology.
The Big Pivot
Based on the facts of the case, Xunlei made the first announcement of OneCoin, their own blockchain-based cryptocurrency, on Oct. 10, 2017. OneCoin, otherwise known as Wanke Coin (and later renamed to Lianke or LinkToken) was supposed to be a reward for the company's cloud users willing to share on the platform their bandwidth considered idle. To become eligible, the users would need to purchase OneThing Cloud from the company, a hardware that will let them share their idle bandwidth and cloud storage. In their earnings release for November, the company has reiterated their new blockchain pivot strategy.
In a statement, Li was quoted as saying, "Xunlei is transforming itself from a traditional internet service provider of membership subscription to a growth-oriented company developing innovative cloud computing products and exploring emerging blockchain technology."
Subsequently, the company enjoyed a stock price surge from about $4 per share to as much as $25 in that little time between October and November. This surge, however, was not sustained and instead headed a sharp south, which prompted the investors take legal action.
Miner Offering?
What made Xunlei's move suspicious was the timing of it all—the pivot occurred a mere month after the Chinese central bank set down a ban on initial coin offerings in the domestic front. CEO Chen, had given public reassurances that the Wanke token is not viable for trading, but instead takes on a purely utilitarian purpose. Given the nature of the token, it follows therefore that they do not constitute an initial coin offering, which supposedly proves they are abiding by the Chinese law.
For the plaintiffs, however, this is but another falsehood given by the company because Wanke Coin has all the characteristics of being an ICO, although disguised under a supposed business strategy redirection or pivot. Their belief is further strengthened by the fact that the company did require users to buy the OneThing Cloud hardware before they can receive token awards. Even more suspect was how the company bypassed the ICO regulation through an "initial miner offering," essentially disguising the true intent of the new business model. China's National Internet Finance Association (NIFA) specifically called out Xunlei on this in an announcement on Jan.11.
"In the case of Lianke issued by Xunlei, for example, the issuing company in effect substitutes Lianke for the duty to pay back project contributors with legal tender, making it essentially a financing activity and a form of disguised ICO. In addition, with frequent promotional activities and publishing of trading tutorials, Xunlei has lured many citizens without sound discernment into IMO activities," noted NIFA.
While the NIFA is not a regulatory agency, and is merely a self-regulatory association, its observations do bear weight since it was formed by the People's Bank of China and is duly recognized and authorized by the state council. The slump of Xunlei's stock price, tumbling from $22.9 to $16.27 since its opening on Jan. 12, was therefore due to its own false statements, which also drew in the interest of regulators to look into their unlawful activity.

Your transcript can only be as good as your recording, and it all starts at the planning phase. First of all, what are you transcribing? What is the setting? What will you use the transcript for?
It is important to consider certain factors which may, or may not, be under your control. Transcription for research is quite different from conferences as you may have more control over the setting. It may seem obvious, but things to consider include background noise (fan noise, whether you are serving food, number of microphones and number of participants). Are you hiring a professional Audio Visual company or doing it yourself? Are you renting a room or using your own facility?
If you are doing your own recording, make sure you test the equipment in the environment, that you know how it works, and that you have extra batteries. Having the volume set at an optimum level and if there is only one microphone that it is centered between the participants will ensure that people can be heard. Even professional A/V companies can make mistakes. If you are transcribing an entire conference, how do you want them to name the files, should each session be recorded separately? Have you used them before or checked references or with peers as to their satisfaction? There is a lot to consider.
If you are doing a one-on-0ne interview, try to choose a closed room, preferably without a phone. Let the participant know what to expect in advance (how long the interview will last and you may want to give them an overview of the questions). With today's smart phones, it is important to turn off the phone completely, not just put it on silent or vibrate. The reason is that the phone is still transmitting and receiving data and can often cause a buzzing sound on the recording.
The moderator is the key to success when hosting groups. They can ensure that people speak one at a time, that they use the microphone and state their name. This may seem very obvious but I can't tell you how many times we can't identify who is speaking because they don't say their name before speaking. If they don't say their name, the moderator can still help by saying "John thanks for that comment" or "John would you like to approach the microphone?" Some people are difficult to hear, so the moderator can ask for them to speak up, repeat what they said, or can simply reiterate what was just said.
Avoiding "overtalking" with multiple people speaking at the same time is critical. It often isn't productive conversation, and keeping focused on the topic rather than idle chatter is important. Remember, time is money, and with transcription every minute costs YOU! Transcribing one minute can take between four to six minutes. Imagine the impact of four people speaking at the same time!
We have transcribed interviews with a room full of people all eating chips. Imagine the crunching sound! If you must eat during the focus group, meeting or interview, consider simple things like the sound of utensils and that obviously chips or raw veggies are much louder than a sandwich. Hopefully the environment is quiet without traffic, family or staff "popping" into the room or background noise.
It is advisable to arrange for transcription in advance. Who are you hiring? What is the turnaround time? What format do you want? Do you require a confidentiality agreement to be signed? Don't wait until you have recorded 18 interviews to send them for transcription. It is best to send them in small batches so that transcription can begin. Transcripts can be sent back to you as they are completed and you may decide that you want to modify your questions or approach based on what your analysis.
Once you have hired a transcription professional, don't keep them in the dark! It's not a secret and the more they know about what you are using the transcript for and your needs the better they can provide you with a better final product. Make sure you give them with the list of participants, interview dates, background materials for meetings or conferences, terminology, or links to a website with background materials. Are you publishing the final product on the internet? If you are doing so then you may want them to correct basic grammar or remove false starts, and avoid commonly repeated words such as like, you know, etc. An experienced transcriptionist knows the difference between the importance of someone emphasizing "you know what I mean" for emphasis and when "you know" is being used in each sentence as an unconscious habit.
Now you are better prepared for the transcription process. Transcription for different industries and different purposes require different approaches. If you have questions, would like to see templates or confidentiality agreements, feel free to give us a call at 613-594-8700 or e-mail to find out how you can save money or improve your next transcription project!

This past Monday, dozens of people gathered to mourn the loss of a 12 year old girl who was fatally injured in a hit and run accident the week before in Hallandale Beach. According to a report by CBS Miami, the girl's mother organized the gathering at Foster Park that was attended by neighbors, classmates, and others in the community. The group told stories about the girl and held candles while fighting back tears.
Hallandale Beach Police state that the girl was hit when crossing Foster Avenue in front of the park last week. The car that hit the girl was located by police a short time after the accident, however the driver is still on the run.
Community members complain that this area of Foster Avenue is one common to speeders and that they, unfortunately, are not surprised that such an accident occurred. Without speed bumps or traffic signals, the road is frequently used by drivers as a cut through to Pembroke Road. The community is now lobbying local politicians to install speed bumps on the road in hopes of slowing drivers down. As one neighbor said, drivers come "flying down here like they're on I-95."
The girl's mother is asking for anyone with information about the accident to come forward.
Hit and Run Accidents Are Increasingly Common in Broward County.
Hit and run accidents are unfortunately not an uncommon occurrence in Broward County as well as across all of Florida. While there is a rare instance that the driver is unaware that he or she hit someone, most of the time hit and run drivers are aware of what they have done; they are just afraid of the consequences.
The truth is, however, that most hit and run drivers are identified and located by police. Once they are found, they will face heightened criminal charges as well as civil charges from the victim or the victim's family in the case of a fatal accident. Juries in Broward County are especially unsympathetic to hit and run drivers due to the great harm they cause as well as the indifference to their victim's life that fleeing the scene shows.
How Can a Lawyer Help in a Hit and Run Accident Case?
An experienced Fort Lauderdale attorney can assist you in bringing charges against the party responsible for the hit and run accident. Even in cases that seem cut and dry, the law requires that certain elements be proved. Often physical evidence is the best way to do this, but physical evidence is not always going to be available. An experienced attorney knows where to look for evidence; what kind of evidence juries appreciate and understand; and how to present this evidence to the jury.

Last week, it just took one Man City fixture announcement to catapult Sergio Aguero from a forgotten man to a would-be savior of our FPL seasons.
Before long, it seemed like every manager on Twitter was confidently taking the plunge and triple-captaining the Man City marksman. By the time Double Gameweek 27 finally kicked off, the excitement was palpable.
But, as is often the case, it found a way to troll us, ending with the whimper that was City's 0-0 draw against Stoke.
Amid all the clamour to bring in two or three Man City players, the week's top scorers came in the unlikely forms of Dusan Tadic (SOU, 7.0) and Marko Arnautovic (STO, 7.1) - with Stoke defenders all returning double figures to boot!
As a strategy, there was sound logic to placing the triple captaincy on Aguero, and those who elected to hold onto their chip should be feeling more relieved than smug - future Double Gameweeks don't hold any more guarantees than this one did.
Now, the altogether different challenge of the dreaded Blank Gameweek 28 has drifted into view like a tumbleweed, leaving many wondering how best to approach it.

You can't just go to the gym and make things up as you go along. If you could, everyone in the gym would have a six pack. But they don't, because most people make their routine up as soon as they get to the gym.
And guess what happens when someone who makes up a routine has no idea what they're doing? Nothing is what.
To get real results, you need to have a sound grasp of the basics.
Many in the fitness industry often tell people what they want to hear. But when it comes to bodybuilding John Doe pulls no punches.
His book, Becoming the Bull is an insight to what it takes to obtain a great physique from a man who walks the walk.
I had no hesitation in getting a copy of his book when it came out. It's 90 pages of solid content – brief and high-quality, just the way I like my training!
Becoming the Bull: A Book For Every Lifter
If you're new to lifting weights then this book is great. Equally if you're an intermediate or advanced guy there's something for you.
John Doe tells us he was a skinny, dorky kid at school. He was never one for team sports. But bodybuilding came naturally to him.
His philosophy for beginners is simple: train hard and eat a lot. He gives routines he developed alongside a list of calorie dense foods that will help you pack on size.
For lifters who want to step up to the next level and gain more mass, there is a section called The Transition.
Here he discusses everything from routines, cheat meals to what to do if you're starting out at above average body fat.
High Intensity Training
JD's training philosophy is a hybrid of powerlifting, bodybuilding and advanced high intensity training (HIT) techniques.
Most people are familiar with powerlifting and bodybuilding – but what about HIT?
The idea of HIT is to emphasise time under tension and to reach positive muscular failure.
Going to failure uses up every ounce of your energy, so your muscles are FORCED to grow back bigger and stronger.
The book introduces some HIT techniques you can incorporate into your training to mix it up:
- Rest-pause training. Going to positive failure 3 times, taking ten breaths between each set
- Static holds. Holding a position, e.g. at the top of a chin-up, for between 30-60 seconds
- True 4-second negatives and positives
- Superslow training. 10 second positives and negatives
Using these techniques will shock your body into new growth.
Since I read the book I tried all of them, and I can attest that they take training intensity to the next level.
In bodybuilding the emphasis is often on the lowering (negative) portion , e.g. 3-4 seconds. It's easy to forget you can increase time under tension by extending the positive portion too.
For instance, with a bicep curl you could lift for 4 seconds and lower for another 4.
You get a great pump with slower movements and can really feel the blood flowing into the muscles.
Taking Time Out
You're motivated to go to the gym to improve your health and physique. And sometimes the last thing you want to do is take time off.
Sometimes we become so focused on a goal that we forget to enjoy the journey itself.
However, taking time off every 6 weeks can be beneficial, after all you've been pounding the weights for several weeks straight, so your body needs time to recover.
According to JD, the only exception to this rule is when you're new to training, in which case you should hit the weights straight through for the first year.
In the gym the focus is on the body, however we forget the mind needs needs variety too. JD goes for hikes in the mountains, takes deep tissue massages and saunas.
These activities all contribute to a better a sense of well-being, ultimately translating into better performance in the gym and better physique.
I cannot hear the stream on a row machine in the gym..and I can't hear the birds with headphones in my ears.
Natural trainees should be more cautious of overtraining. In the past I used to train balls to the wall every week and thought I was superman.
I didn't appreciate the importance of backing off and resting. Some weeks I wouldn't be able to lift a weight that I could normally do for fun.
I thought taking time out the gym was for pussies, but I was wrong.
As I got older, I learned to train smarter and listen to my body, knowing when it's time to to take a break.
Now I take hikes outdoors and take saunas from time to time to stay refreshed.
No Holds Barred
John gives a no holds barred looked into the world of bodybuilding and what it takes to develop an elite physique.
This includes a chapter devoted to anabolic steroids where he goes into and typical steroid cycles. He doesn't encourage steroid use however, rather he gives the reader an honest take of what they involve.
No doubt steroids have their advantages – if they didn't men wouldn't take them in their droves. Nonetheless, they do have a sinister side and their consequences are rarely appreciated by those that take them.
Especially guys who aggressively "stack" anabolic steroids and take them in large doses. These guys are disasters waiting to happen. And I've written an entire chapter on this in my book Optimized Under 35.
Joh Doe says that bodybuilding gave him a new-found confidence. This encouraged him to be bolder and led to more success in other areas of his life:
I realized that if I started living like a man with nothing to lose, positive things started happening.
This quote resonated deeply with me. When I look back, I've rarely been disappointed whenever I've taken a chance and gone after what I wanted. Even when it didn't work out, the lessons learned and experiences were invaluable.
The truth is this: You can choose to live life and grab the bull by the horns, or you can choose to see how the world is against you. The choice is yours.
The Discipline Of Bodybuilding
At one point in his life he was mixing with the wrong crowd and on a couple of occasions he was lucky to escape with his life. The thing that saved him was bodybuilding. The discipline of training for a bodybuilding contest gave him a purpose:
A goal to work toward.
Eventually he discovered the most rewarding aspect of bodybuilding was not appearing on stage, but finding out what he was made of.
Indeed, aspect of bodybuilding and what it gives you is rarely discussed.
Don't get me wrong, going to the gym is a great way to build muscle and improve the way you look. But above all, what you get out of it the most is what you learn about yourself.
This cannot be overstated enough.
But to reap those rewards, you must ask yourself:
Can you show up day in, day out even when you're tired and don't feel like it?
Can you be flexible enough to take a new approach when something doesn't work?
Many people give up at the first hurdle, so they never make any real progress in the gym. The truth is, it's going to get hard and suck at some stage.
Those who succeed at Becoming the Bull are the ones who have a never-say-die attitude.
Final Thoughts
Becoming the Bull is a poignant reminder time away from the gym is just as important as time in it.
The bigger picture: Feeling good in yourself and leading a fulfilling life.
What I liked most about the book is the honesty and wisdom he shares, not just about training but life in general.
Some may balk at paying $19.99 for a book, but I've referred to the book many times and got so much out of that it's more than paid for itself.
You can grab your copy of Becoming the Bull here.

@Hannabee92 make sure you use your ice packs often and keep on top of your meds and regular arnica tablets and cream. If you can avoid endone do so as constipation makes it harder on the pain under your ribs. Don't worry it shouldn't last too long. The stretching he recommends is really helpful too I found
Bendon have 50% off bras atm. I just bought 2 Heidi Klum bras. The Madeline contour and Olivei contour, so pretty and super comfy too!
Hi @Hannabee92, I had the pain under the ribs. That and on one side of my left boob was the worst. It lasted well over a week but at 5 wks post op I'd forgotten about it. (I'm a Dr M lady also ☺)

PT reacted to a post in a topic: May 2016 boobs!
MelJ started following Stressing...., May 2016 boobs!, anyone got 350cc Moderate plus ? and and 7 others
Hi @PT and @imeauxxx. I'm 173cm and 55kg so very similar stats and had surgery with Dr M 5wks ago. He recommended 330cc for me based on my height. I was after a very natural look. I was a very deflated b/a cup after breastfeeding. I was really confused over size so went with what he recommended. I've been bigger breasted a couple of times in my life so sometimes it seems huge (without clothes) but with clothes on its not so noticeable. I have been feeling a bit frumpy in my work shirt, but in other clothes fantastic. I'm wondering if a little less side boob would have been more flattering as I always tried to move sizers closer. but its early days and there is still a long way to go. The sizers I tried on in his room were accurate. I'm a 12c in pleasure state. Naked I'd be happy with smaller, clothes on I'm happy. I probably haven't been clear but I'm tired and off to bed. PM me if you have any questions.
MelJ reacted to a post in a topic: Arnica for bruising YES!!
Anyone with moderates wish they got high profiles instead??
MelJ replied to Mum of three's topic in Breast AugmentationNone of the surgeons I spoke to considered hp for some reason. I'm thinking I would have liked them though to get more lift off my tummy with clothes.
Thanks @KittenLover I had no idea how to do that either. I did a short drive Monday which was 11 days post op and definitely felt I wasn't safe on the road. Yesterday (12 days) I went back to work and felt better on the road and ok at work. Just stiff, lack of movement and really tired in the afternoon with a killer back ache last night. This morning my one side that feels like I've torn something (sightseeing bus in Sydney??) is hurting but icing made it a bit better. Funny though I had a hot shower after and my boob stayed cold whilst the other was warm. Will definitely be investing in scarves like other ladies on here have recommended.

KittenLover I had swelling into my torso on day 4 badly. It shortened my shopping expedition so really upset me ? It went away the next day when I rested on the flight home. I'm noticing it's tender there when I'm overdoing it. Arnica both externally and internally is the best. For anyone interested talk to your local naturopath and there is a new Bioceuticals 7 day extra high dose of probiotics perfect for after antibiotics and surgery. Good luck tomorrow New_boobies. Your in good hands!
New girl reacted to a post in a topic: April 2016 ba girls (•)(•)
Hi Ladies, I was being such a busy sightseer in Sydney I didn't have time to check in here. Back at home and still super busy. So much for a rest before work. Going really well. Avoided the endone as didn't want the dramas. I agree with New Girl, it feels very much like milk coming in. I ended up with 330cc on both sides so had a shock when I saw that in the morning as they were meant to be at least 50cc difference btwn the two. Apparently my muscle is so thick on the bigger side it squashes it down. Glad he went 330 not smaller as first suggested as they don't look big at all. Can't tell with clothes on. I haven't taken any photos yet. To be honest I haven't examined that closely they appear to be similar is size but more swelling in left with swelling in the sternum going down. Hate the pregnant belly look! I've FR the first in the list and will do so more later. Hope everyone is feeling fine
Bondi Junction Private or Sydeny East Dr miroshnik
MelJ replied to Honeycakes's topic in Breast AugmentationI'm booked in for this Thursday at Bondi. I had to go by date and was told by reception there wasn't any difference. I guess if I had a choice I'd go closer to St Vincents though.
Hi Ladies, I'm with Dr Miroshnik this Thursday. Not sure on size, can't wait to meet him and discuss it ?
Plastic Surgeons Perth - Help!
MelJ replied to Kelly93's topic in Breast AugmentationI've had consults with both Guy and Tony. Both really nice and they were of the same opinion. Guy's price was a lot more reasonable as he said they are conscious of the competition interstate and overseas. I get the feeling he has done most of his work overseas and the reviews in the US are glowing. My GP recommended him if that helps at all
Older ladies and BA's
MelJ replied to Cm45's topic in Breast AugmentationIf you look on breastimplants.com they have plenty of women over 40 on the gallery.
Yes only 1 Suki. I didn't ask to see any though so my own fault. I'll book another consult this week and all will be answered I'm sure.
That's good to know thanks. It must have come out wrong, I meant this forum used to have some galleries which some ladies had shared ?

Floaters: Should I Worry?
You may have been warned about floaters (those bright little dots that only you can see, which last for a few seconds), especially if you have a high prescription in your eyes. But are they really so serious that you need to worry about them? Floaters may occur for a number of reasons, but they […]

New Delhi, Jan 3: A car of AAP's Tughlakabad assembly poll candidate Sahi Ram was today set ablaze as supporters of Aam Aadmi Party clashed with BJP activists during the shoot of a TV news debate in which leaders of both the parties were engaged in a heated argument.
"During the shoot, heated argument ensued between the two groups which turned into a scuffle and someone set Sahi Ram's car on fire. We are probing the incident," said a senior police official.
Soon after the incident, AAP volunteers reached Govindpuri Police Station and demanded registration of an FIR against BJP supporters alleging that they acted at the behest of an influential BJP leader from the area. In a statement, AAP alleged those involved in the attack were supporters of BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri.
"It is shocking that a mob led by the MP's nephew attacked the AAP volunteers in broad daylight when a TV news channel was conducting a debate in the DDA park at Tuglakabad." On the other hand, Bidhuri accused AAP supporters of unleasing the violence and rejected allegations that his supporters were involved in the clash.
"AAP workers set the car on fire to blame BJP. AAP workers started the clash," Bidhuri charged claiming a number of BJP workers were injured in the clash. Police said they were investigating the incident and are yet to ascertain who put on fire the car.

Its already been 10 years since my dad passed on. It was one of the saddest day of my life. Every 27th July is my late father's birthday and I would say an extra prayer for him.
My father was born during the time just after the Japanese occupation in Malaysia, however, he never did speak much of his childhood to us. I sometimes wished I had spent more time with him to ask him about his childhood.
He was an english teacher for over 35 years and even after his retirement he still continued teaching as he was passionate about educating people.
There are days where I do wish I could just pickup the phone and call him like how I would usually do, as since I left home … we would just have a few minutes of conversation on the phone pretty often. One thing I cherished was that he had never missed my calls as I know he would just drop everything he was doing to pick up my phone call. I do miss him even after 10 years of his passing … however I do know that he would always watch over us.
Happy 73rd Birthday Dad …
love … your son.

I'm about 2/3 toward my bronze medal and I've made a start on the silver as well….. pictures (the ones I can show, at least) will be up this weekend.
For some fun, a movie meme I spotted on Mindy's blog:
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.
5. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
1 – What do you do when the thing you most wanted, so perfect, just comes?
2 –
What makes a man a man? A friend of mine once wondered. Is it his origins? The way he comes to life? I don't think so. It's the choices he makes. Not how he starts things, but how he decides to end them. Hellboy (Cherylann)
3 – You all wanna be looking very intently at your own belly buttons. I see a head start to rise, violence is going to ensue. Probably guessed we mean to be thieving here but what we're after is not yours. So, let's have no undue fussing. Serenity (Lisa, Jenn & Michelle)
4 – Let your mind start a journey to a strange new world! Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before! Let your soul take you where you long to be! Only then can you belong to me... The Phantom of the Opera (Jenn)
5 –
The Duchess dove at the Duke just when the Duke dove at the Doge. Now the Duke ducked, the Doge dodged, and the Duchess didn't. So the Duke got the Duchess, the Duchess got the Doge, and the Doge got the Duke! The Court Jester (Susan)
6 – My dear girl, don't flatter yourself. What I did this evening was for Queen and country. You don't think it gave me any pleasure, do you? Thunderball (Terri)
7 – No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know, for a little bit? I feel like the maid; I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for… for ten minutes! The Incredibles (Jenn)
8 – We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Lisa and Terri)
9 – With enough courage, you can do without a reputation. Gone with the Wind (Susan)
10 – And since I am dead, I can take off my head to recite Shakespearean quotations! No animal nor man can scream like I can with the fury of my recitations. Nightmare Before Christmas (Jenn, Terri)
11 – I believe in love. Not just getting it, but giving it. I think that if you're able to love someone, even if they don't know it, even if they can't love you back, then it's worth it. Gosford Park (Debbie)
12 – They take a sharp, red hot poker, stick it up your nose, scramble things about a bit, and then rip it all out through your nostrils. The Mummy (Susan, Michelle, Katrina)
13 – Angels and Demons can't cross over onto our plane. So, instead we get what I call half-breeds. The influence peddlers. They can only whisper in our ears. But a single word can give you courage, or turn your favorite pleasure into your worst nightmare. Those with the demon's touch like those part angel, living alongside us. They call it the balance. I call it hypocritical bullshit. Constantine (Lisa)
14 – You've been taken to the cleaners, and you don't even know your pants are off.
15 – All you need to start an asylum is an empty room and the right kind of people.
**Had comment moderation turned on! I'll turn it off for this 🙂
