In my head I can often here my grad school statistics professor saying "68 percent of the population fall within one standard deviation from the mean". What this means, besides the fact that I'm a total geek, is that whenever there is an average response to something (such as a training program) this only applies directly to approximately 70% of the people you use it on.
That is not to say that it won't work at all on the others, but that it has the greatest chance of success with the majority that fall closest to the average. The further you are away from the average the less likely the plan is to work on you.
Of course, this assumes a normal bell curve and, without getting into too much statistics, I can tell you than not every physiological phenomenon occurs like that. Sometimes the results are skewed more to one side or the other meaning that a lot more people or less people are responsive to a certain program.
And finally there are people that scientists like to call "outliers". You can see in the picture above that these are people who don't fit the rest of the data. They stand out by themselves and their results are not typical of the rest of people being tested. These are the people that scientists like to remove from the data because they make statistical analysis more difficult. However, these are the people who are more likely to respond to a specific plan that may not work for everyone else. On the flip side, they are also less likely to respond to the program that does work for everyone else.
My main point here is that everyone in the fitness industry has their philosophy. For nutrition some people like to tell you to eat for your blood type, others will tell you to eat based on your ethnic background, and some will tell you to eat based on your skin caliper measures. Still, others will tell you just to eat the same thing as everyone else they train because they don't know any other way.
With training some people will design your program based on fiber type, others will base it on a Functional Movement Screen, Z Health, or other type screen. And some will exclusively use kettlebells, strongman equipment, other implements in their program design.
As an intelligent trainee or coach I agree that it is important to have a base philosophy to work from. This will provide a starting point for yourself or your clients. However, even more important is not being too attached to your program or your ego to let it go when it possibly isn't the best plan for up to 30% of the population.
No matter how much science you have backing up your program, it doesn't mean squat if you're not getting results. Ultimately this leaves me with two take home points.
1. Measure your progress.
If you're not measuring your progress you don't know if you're moving forward, backwards, or staying the same. Of course, this assumes that you already you have specific and measurable goals to work towards, but you already knew that because you're too smart to be training with no goals…aren't you?
2. Use Results Based Programming
If you (or your clients) are not moving towards your goals then you need to revise your system. You need to look at your previous measures of results to find out what brought the biggest gains. This means looking back at your training and nutrition logs (you have these too right?) and seeing what worked.
*As a side note to trainers and coaches, this is also the point for you to evaluate YOUR system. Have you been pursuing one system for a long time to the exclusion of all others. Maybe it is time to look at something else for a while. Don't worry…your system will still be there when you get back. The more resistant you are to this idea, the more you probably need to follow the advice.*
In the end, systems are great tools, but results are paramount. Explore and read all you can about as many systems as you can and select the one the brings results for the specific person or situation. Better yet, take elements of many systems and create your own. No one system is perfect. Except mine, of course. Just kidding.

Let's be honest. We all want to have the newest hardcore training tools, but it just isn't a reality for everyone. Sometimes when you've spent all your hard earned money on Mylie Cyrus tickets and Soap Opera Digest there's just nothing left to purchase the coolest implements around.
That's when my incredible wife drops me a link to a website that contains all sorts of sick information on how to build your own sled, tornado ball, thick handle dumbbells, or how to get your very own giant tire. I can't vouch for any of these as I haven't tried any of them yet, but some of them look pretty cool.
Check them out for yourself HERE.
Give some of them a try and let me know how it goes.

As many of you may know, I believe that reading for an hour per day is paramount if you hope to become a leader in any field. Fitness and nutrition are no different. Here are a few things to get you started for today.
The following 4 articles are written by Thomas Myers (the brilliant guy who wrote Anatomy Trains) and cover anything and everything to do with the psoas. If you've been taught to believe that the psoas is solely responsible for anterior pelvic tilt, you might reconsider after you read these articles. The reading involved is a little bit heavy, but well worth every second.
The Opinionated Psoas – Part 1
Is the psoas a hip flexor? Does it cause internal or external rotation?
The Opinionated Psoas – Part 2
Does the psoas rotate the pelvis anteriorly or posteriorly? GREAT READ.
The Opinionated Psoas – Part 3
What happens when the psoas is tight on only one side? More importantly, how do you read compensations that occur? Can you see it when you look at someone?
The Psoas Psubustitutes – Part 4
Thomas introduces the concept of locals and expresses. Which muscles can substitute for the psoas?
As much of what is written in these articles is speculative and based more on practice than theory, I invite you to leave your thoughts and experiences in the comments section below.

Recently I received an email asking me if there was a difinitive test for core stability. The very real truth is that I think there is no single test, but a combination of tests should reveal a lot about what we want to know.
Personally, I've been heavily influenced by Stuart McGill and Shirley Sahrmann. I've also taken some great ideas from bright guys like Mike Robertson, Bill Hartman, and Gray Cook to formulate some of my core testing tools.
To start let's just address the fundamentals. Strength is the ability to produce force and stability is the ability to control it. So doing crunches on a stability ball with a hundred pound dumbbell on your chest might make you strong (although I think it makes you look ridiculous), it isn't going to improve your core stability. To be stable you must be able to RESIST the applied force without movement.
Going hand in hand with this notion is the idea that is currently being promoted by many educated coaches and trainers that repeated spinal flexion is a bad idea because it increases the risk of spinal disc injury. In other words, crunches suck!
Finally, lets remember that the core doesn't just include the rectus abdominus or the anterior core muscles. It essentially forms a belt around us and includes more muscles than I'd like to count at this very moment. Knowing this, it is essential to investigate the muscles all around the core to determine stability. More importantly, we are not going to test the strength of these muscles, but the ability of them to support the core under load. In the case of the lower back, endurance is actually far more important than strength for injury prevention.
Here is a quick little protocol that I like to use as a starting point:
1. Front Plank
While doing this movement I like to place a dowel on the person's back and have them maintain 3 points of contact. The dowel should remain in contact with the glutes, upper back, and head. If one of those points is lost then the timer stops. (Note: I swiped this tip from Mike Robertson)
You should be able to hold this position for 2 minutes.
2. Side Plank – Should be able to hold for 90 seconds
This is as easy as it sounds. The body should be held straight in a full side plank position for 90 seconds per side. Note any assymetry between the sides as this is a strong predictor on injury risk. Work on bringing the weaker side up to match the stronger side before trying to increase the overall time.
You should be able to hold this position for 90 seconds.
3. Back Extension Hold
Set up at though you're going to do a back extension and hold yourself in the extended position. As with the front plank, use the dowel along the spine to ensure proper alignment by maintaing 3 points of contact.
You should be able to hold this position for 2 minutes.
4. Double Leg Lower
To perform this test you want to lie on your back and raise both legs straight up into the air. From here, I'd suggest placing your hands on your external obliques or crossed over your chest. They cannot be on the floor. Now slowly begin to lower your legs while concentrating on keeping your lower back flat on the floor. (Note: a hard floor is more effective than a mat for determining success on this test)
If your feet hit the floor before your lower back raises you have passed. If not, you suck and you should check yourself into the wimp hall of fame. Just kidding, but your ability to control your core is probably lacking in this respect.
5. Rotational Stability
I also like to assess rotational stability by using a test from the functional movement screen. If you're going to fail only one of these tests, this will probably be it. You can check it out HERE.
Again, these only serve at starting points and there are obviously other factors affecting stability of the core, but these tests should be enough to get you rolling.
In the coming weeks I'll be releasing an audio interview series that will detail how some of the world's leading experts test and train the core for performance and just plain looking sexy. Keep your eyes peeled for that.
In the meantime, drop me a note in the comments to let me know how you make out on the tests above.

My Ah-Ha Moments – By Mike Boyle
I especially like points one and two. While many believe that the nervous systems governs the body (which it obviously does) I concretely believe that if the body has been in a certain state for some time, the muscle itself will have adapted and needs to be addressed as well as the nervous system for optimal function to return.

This was very good, but it seemed to need more seasoning, so I added dried garlic and a couple of shots of hot pepper sauce. I toasted some blanched almonds and added them to the crumb toping giving the dish some crunch.

Concert preview and interview: Michael Franti talks about his new album, touring with Santana and the magic of social media
Michael Franti has been a working musician since 1987, touring steadily and putting out seven albums with his long-time band, Spearhead, as well as his own solo material.
Until recent years, he has enjoyed only modest commercial success; but he has been riding high for the past year on the popularity of his 2010 album "The Sound of Sunshine," which gave him his first Billboard Top 20 debut of his career.
A San Francisco native whose sound blends elements of reggae, pop, hip-hop, folk, rock and more, Franti will open for another Bay Area legend, Carlos Santana, at the Fabulous Fox on September 6. I caught up with him by phone just before the kickoff of the Sound of Collective Consciousness Tour and chatted with him about his success, his new album (in the works) and more. A genuinely kind and warm individual, Franti, at age 45, seems to be at a contented place in his life after all he has done to get here.
"I've been making music now for almost 25 years since I put out my first record with this little punk rock band I had," he says. "To have this kind of success at this point in my career, I appreciate it a lot more than I think than if it had happened to me right with the first song I put out. We spent decades driving around in vans and playing gigs for whomever would come see us, so we're just really grateful at this point to have the fans we do."
Franti has always been grassroots in building that fan base, touring nearly nonstop, and, in recent years, taking full advantage of social media and blogging to make those connections even stronger. He uses the Web daily to share what he is doing musically as well as to spread the messages of social consciousness he is known for, supporting causes across the globe from rainforests in the Amazon to helping fans in need at home.
"That's how I've always viewed music — taking it to the streets," he says. "We have really embraced new technology as a way of connecting with our fans. When I first started, we'd get hundreds of letters in the mail and I'd answer like a dozen a year. Then when email came along, I'd get thousands of messages and answer a few hundred of them; but with social messaging, now I can speak with a couple hundred thousand people just instantly. It's really changed things."
Franti and his label, Capitol, recently used the social web and his active website to introduce his latest video for the song "Only Thing Missing Was You" from "The Sound of Sunshine" — a departure from the norm in several ways.
Concert review: The War on Drugs (with Caveman) hook indie rock fans at the Billiken Club, Tuesday, August 30
The Billiken Club at St. Louis University is an intimate and inexpensive (as in free admission) way to enjoy some of the more buzzed-about bands in indie music. On Tuesday night the student-run music venue hosted Philadelphia's the War On Drugs and Brooklyn's Caveman, the first show of its fall lineup.
While I thought Caveman might be some ironic hipster dude with a laptop, it turned out the opening band was a drone-rocking five-piece. Caveman's entire set — new songs from their debut album "Coco Beware" — existed under a soft blanket of shoegazey distortion that was punctured by two percussionists, one being lead vocalist, Matthew Iwanusa, sharing the duties on the drum kit. It was impressive to see how the two drummers transformed sluggish, beautiful noise into a strange indie rock tribal gathering as Iwanusa tried to sing in time.
I later heard from members of the band that their drummer was sick and they were forced to split drumming duties between an old friend kind enough to fill in and Iwanasa. For performance purposes this tactic of tom, snare, and cymbal rationing worked well during the jams when the guitar and keyboards rose in the mix, but the drumming seemed to distract from and drown out a lot of the melody within the songs, especially Iwanusa's softer croon. After listening to the band's music on Myspace, songs like "Decide" and "Old Friend" sound much better served by a single drummer. Get well soon, drummer for Caveman!
The War On Drugs' new album, "Slave Ambient" is a masterpiece and I was excited to see it performed, as I'd read that front man, Adam Granduciel, had worked tirelessly for three years to craft every song. The songs on "Slave Ambient" all have an Americana backbone, with Granduciel's signature distorted guitar murmurs, but are sonically bolstered by glossy synthesizers. The combination of triumphant heartland rock and buzzing shoegaze — with a little new wave for nostalgic purposes — makes "Slave Ambient" sound like Day 1 (or even the last day) of a road trip across the U.S.A.
Performing all this fresh and calculated material seemed like a breeze for Granduciel and his three backing members. The singer is known for having stage fright, but he was able to execute his front man duties without any flaws. Although he played most of the set with his eyes closed, his presence as a vocalist and lead guitarist was captivating. Whenever Granduciel stepped to the mic to sing, his voice, reminiscent of Dylan, penetrated the entire room, despite the babble of atmosphere created by all the stomp pedal effects rigged up to his guitar.
The band high tailed it through "Slave Ambient" standouts "Come To The City" and "Your Love Is Calling My Name"; both had marching qualities to them with varying tempos. Often the War On Drugs smoothly wove songs together and created ambient noise before launching into new selections. They only paused a few times to acknowledge the audience, and I didn't realize how big the crowd was at the Billiken until Granduciel asked, "What is a Billiken?" No one seemed to really know, but a "hybrid dwarf/vampire" was the answer that got the most positive reaction from the crowd.
'Everything is changing, just go with it' An interview with Sonny Landreth
Sonny Landreth is performing at the Big Muddy Blues Festival on Sunday, September 4. As possibly the best slide guitar player in the world, Landreth has a long and storied career. I rang the Louisiana native up to chat, and he glided across topics from the Deep Water Horizon fiasco to Eddie Van Halen.
Joe Duepner: Hey, how's it going?
Sonny Landreth: It's going good. I'm home, that's a good thing. We've been in the studio and working on a new album. So we plugged holes in the schedule so we could have the time to do that. I'm hoping to have everything finished in January. And release it in April of next year.
Sounds great. Are you working under a title?
I have a few that are in the running (laughs), so I guess after assembling it, I'll get working on it.
I know on your last album there were a few songs that dealt with Katrina. Do you have anything about the BP Oil disaster on the new album?
First of all that was horrible. Beyond imagining. I'm sure at one point there will be a song out of me as everyone else around here. But this project I'm doing is going to be my first all instrumental type. So you know, there's a few titles yet to make their way into it, so there might be one that makes its way into it yet.
How did that affect the crawfishermen situation down there?
Yeah, well it really messed all that up. It was really rough, of course on all the locals, distributors and fishermen. It is a lot better now, but the craw fishers, it was especially tough on them.
Such a terrible thing for the entire area. On that note, what's the worst thing that's ever happened to you on tour?
Well, the worst thing would have to be, there's no question, we were in New York City for 9/11, and that was absolutely the worst. Not even to mention the tragedy, which is mind boggling, and dealing with all that, the damage to the psyche as individuals and the entire city, the entire country, and the world. That's something I'll never forget.
Then just the practical logistics of trying to get out of the city. Everything was shut down. I was with John Hiatt at the time, so it was John Hiatt and the Goners. Fortunately our road manager somehow found the last van in the city, and was able to get some of the crew out across the bridge with our gear. They had parked the bus on the other side of the bridge because there's no place to park in Manhattan. So the rest of us went down to the train station and caught a train to Philadelphia. Then when the crew could finally make it across the bridge and get on the bus and pick us up on the bus, we headed straight for Nashville.
The bass player and I jumped out there and Avis [Rental] was giving out free cars to anyone affected by event so we drove straight home to Lafayette, La. There was just a lot going on, you know what I mean? This is a long-winded answer, but we went back [to the East coast] a week later to go back and see all that. Drove by the Pentagon and all that. We did shows in the area and radio things involved in all that.
The other thing was, we were out on the tour with BB King, so we had to go back and finish out those gigs that we missed. And I felt good for that, because that's what we had to offer: a distraction and a good way for people to kick back and enjoy music.
Concert review: An enthralling end to LouFest 2011 at Forest Park, Sunday, August 28
St. Louis' own Old Lights opened the second day of LouFest with class and passion. Their set was mostly attended by old fans and friends with a slow trickle of people coming in during the music.
LouFest, like any music festival, has its fair share of people coming solely for the headliners, but Old Lights had fun on the stage and wrung their tunes out for all they were worth. The southside band has become one of the flagships for the St. Louis music scene's legitimacy, the city's capacity to produce professional artists, and for good reason: The band is tight. But sometimes it seemed like the songs were safe emulations of what a more adventurous band could turn into more dangerous rock 'n' roll. David Beeman's rush of noisy upper-neck strumming wasn't as exciting as his face suggested, nor were the songs as infectious as the band wanted them to be, calling for claps and chants. Still, their music is solid and it was good to see them opening the day.
Jumbling Towers completed the local music set for the day on the East stage. Stylistically, the band has a lot going on: Josiah DeBoer's cringy vocals border on the comedic, while his snappy, sometimes mean guitar work slips out of a void like Robert Fripp on Eno's stuff. The other members of the band basically set up a dance-pop rhythm that seems generic except for the huge space between the instruments. Maybe this is just a result of playing on an outdoor stage, but it made them sound weirder, harder to put your ear's finger on, which is almost always a good thing. They lacked some of the upright composure Old Lights had, and it was good to see the goofier side of our city's music represented.
Then, anyone just arriving or drinking in a lawn chair or thumbing through records at the Euclid Records tent got woken the fuck up by Ume. This three-piece from Austin brings a fat sound united under guitarist/vocalist Lauren Larson's serrated, live-wire fretwork and her mix of delicate crooning and all-out howl.
She also moved more than the crowd did while playing, stirring up the humidity with kicks and showers of headbangs while wringing the neck of her guitar for muscled-up, nerve-twitch melodies. Bassist Eric Larson threads his fuzzed-out sound through the guitar with perfect balance, at times echoing her flood of 12th fret notes with a single line eight frets lower. Ume's new drummer, Rachel Fuhrer, hammers out a big, crisp rock sound, her sure and distinct kick and tom work as integral to the band's sound as John Bonham's was to Led Zeppelin. Lauren Larson claimed they drove 15 hours overnight to get to LouFest, and I couldn't have been more grateful to them. They brought some crazy noise to a festival that had too little.
The change from band to band was a little more abrasive on the second day of LouFest, but the need to adjust my ears, mindset and sometimes my emotions on the walk from stage to stage sort of renewed my spirits, opened my expectations of the next act. This was what happened in the transition from Ume to Lost in the Trees. While Ume hammered your heart out of the body's normal time signature and jolted your muscles, Lost in the Trees was all tingle and shivers on the skin. Trees began with Ari Picker's almost inaudible fingering and gentle, then soaring delivery of lyrics, and before you realized it, was churning into a kind of acoustic prog-rock.
The musicians pulled off the disorienting, enchanting swish of sounds with incredible control on songs like "All Alone in an Empty House" and the orchestral rush of "Walk Around the Lake." Most of the songs bristled with the strings section (cellists Drew Anagnost and Leah Gibson; violinist Jenavieve Varga), which took on roles from whipping the song into a spectral waltz, to acting as a kind of counter-verbal sound to Picker's unexpectedly sweet voice.
And then there was multi-instrumentalist Emma Nadeau, whose voice crept through you like theremin, even as she hammered a floor tom or dotted the keys of a xylophone (she even got a round of applause mid-song for a vocal solo). Unlike some of their stylistic cohorts and contemporaries, Trees sounds put you on edge, create a sense of alarm even as they are beautiful. And their live set at LouFest was no exception: Fheir music made me uneasy in the brightest part of day.
Concert review: LouFest 2011 Day 1 in the sun at Forest Park, Saturday, August 27
It was surreal to roll through Forest Park Saturday morning, past bikers and joggers, the quiet fountains, apartment buildings looming like mountains on either side of the park, and then, the sound of Troubadour Dali's "Ducks In A Row" coasting out from atop the central field.
What's weird is that this hasn't always been happening: a music festival in Forest Park or anywhere in St. Louis. When I saw the two huge stages hunched on the hill, it was like déjà vu.
The air warbled in the heat, and there was still plenty of space when St. Louis' Troubadour Dali unwound their tight, gaze-into-the-sun concoction of stinging rock 'n' roll and psychedelia. (And I apologize to Jon Hardy & the Public for missing their kick-off performance.) Their set was nearly perfect with enough energy and inertia in the music to heave the ball forward, draw the crowd in — something about that shoe-gazey sound makes for a great immersive music, but Dali's sound is also rough around the edges, trading space for the electrifying, cathartic downstroke.
It was also an acid test for the way the day would sound through the speakers, because Dali had one of the most balanced sounds of the day — their through-the-cracks harmonies and tremolo and Drew Bailey's fresh, rolling percussion. While most people showed up later in the day for the headlining acts, Troubadour Dali's set stuck with me through the rest of the day, palimpsestic as a good dream.
After their set, singer and guitarist Ben Hinn directed the crowd over to the east stage to see Sleepy Sun, whom he described as "freakin' awesome." LouFest already had kind of an all-ages feel about it: plenty of 8-year-old kids milling around, infants on their parents shoulders, a monotonous, hip sea of sunglassed 20-somethings shoulder to shoulder with men and women who'd smoked weed at Monterey Pop or who at least had read the headlines about Altamont. It's another reason that Dali's set was important and relevant, their set like a tribute to the era and the events inseparable from that psychedelic sound.
Sleepy Sun offered more of the same, but with a little more blues at stake, a little more fire in their bellies. Led by singer Ben Constantino (a great frontman for a great band, some perfect conflation of Country Joe and all the members of Canned Heat transplanted into modern day San Francisco, and here playing for us), the band ripped and roared through the sometimes brooding, always noisy guts of their songs. Their set ended just short of 3 p.m., and the crowd was steadily growing in volume and responsiveness. LouFest was 2 for 2, but no one was ready for what came next.
Concert review: Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion (with Caleb Travers) offer harmonies and stories at the Duck Room, Friday, August 26
At the bar before the show, I chatted with Johnny Irion when, in a sign of things to come, the house p.a. shuffled to a Jayhawks song. Irion literally took note: He pulled a marker from his pocket, wrote the name of the band on his hand and excused himself to order some pre-show dinner.
Demonstrating their beautiful harmonies arranged for their literate folk songs, Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion added a dash of humility, grace and professionalism to their show at the Blueberry Hill Duck Room last night.
After a short five-song opening set by St. Louis native Caleb Travers, Sarah Lee and Johnny took the stage at about 9:45 p.m. to approximately 100 fans. Drawn in as much by Guthrie's famous musical lineage (daughter of Arlo, granddaughter of Woody) as the pairing with her husband, singer-songwriter Irion, the audience of 30 to 60-year-old music fans appreciated the storytelling tradition that Guthrie and Irion bring to their musical blend of folk, rock and country.
Starting with the jangly sweetness of "Never Far From My Heart," a song of domesticity and relationship logistics from their latest album, the show started with a lighthearted mood. The St. Louis audience welcomed the two to town after a couple of songs, and Irion admitted the two have, "been having a good time" here. He continued with the quip, "There are pictures of Chuck Berry everywhere. How could I not have fun?"
For their new album, "Bright Examples," Sarah Lee and Johnny were able to draw from a stockpile of over 50 songs written over the past five years, eventually narrowing the list down to twelve originals. The project, recorded with Andy Cabic (Vetiver), expands the sound and depth of their initial album — the Gary Louris (of the Jayhawks) produced, "Exploration." Though, Guthrie and Irion have continued a musical relationship with Louris; he co-wrote a song and contributed vocals with band mate Mark Olson for the new album. Even though Irion's songs dominate much of the new record, the duo evenly mixed roughly half of Guthrie's songs into the performance last night.
All Aboard for Fun Times: St. Louis show highlights for August 26-27
Plenty of options for those not attending LouFest this weekend.
Friday, August 26
There isn't just one high-profile music event happening this weekend. St. Louis Bluesweek kicks off with free outdoor shows tonight (6-11:30) and tomorrow at 6th and Washington downtown. A full schedule of performers and all the week's events can be found here.
Not So Loud: An Acoustic Evening — a live (recorded at the shuttered Lucas School House) album by the Bottle Rockets — was recently released, and they'll celebrate by playing a free show at Vintage Vinyl (6610 Delmar), starting at 7.
Pabst Blue Ribbon Official LouFest Pre-Party
Jon Hardy & the Public / Old Lights / Troubadour Dali
Off Broadway 3509 Lemp 8-12 Free (21+ only tonight) Smoke-free
Three of the four local bands playing the festival proper comprise this show, which is a curious concept; I doubt it will have an impact on someone's decision to attend the main event, and it seems like a hassle for the two acts that have to turn around and be ready to play – early – the next day. JH&TP deliver soulful, powerful rock, with deft execution. OL perform sophisticated, pop-informed rock. Rock with a psychedelic bent from TD.
The UnMutuals / Stinkbomb / The Leftovers
The Crack Fox 1114 Olive 9-1 $? Smoking (so 21+ only)
Loud and snotty TUM find enough free time between their many other respective projects for a show. Hard rock with a punk sensibility. I'm not familiar with S or TL. This venue needs more attention to details on their website, which is often lacking key info; in addition to no cover amount, I only learned about the inclusion of TL when I caught Al Swacker mentioning them on his KDHX show, Greaser's Lunchbox.
Tips for LouFesters
With LouFest coming up this weekend I thought I'd offer a few tips for two days of all-day music. I'm no expert on this stuff, but a very happy veteran of a dozen or so multi-day festivals.
This probably isn't anything revelatory, no moments where Bugs Bunny might shout, "Eureka!" These are just reminders so you can make it from first chord to the final cymbal crash in good shape.
Water. The weather is tracking right now to be sunny with temps in the mid to high 80s so you probably won't need massive amounts of H20, but bear it in mind. This is St. Louis, after all, so that could change. You can bring up to a 1 liter bottle of water in — take advantage. If you're drinking water flavored with hops and barley, don't be that guy face down on the ground being ill-treated for YouTube. That has nothing to do with hydration; just don't be that person.
Sunscreen. If you are only going to be there late afternoon on, sunburn probably isn't a big worry. But if you're in for the whole thing, bring a tube with you. Otherwise, a normally comfortable shirt will feel like that chair of needles Han Solo was tortured in halfway through "Empire." You might want to wear a hat for extra solar protection.
Clothing. If you stay for any length of time you're probably gonna get dirty. Balance your fashion desires with how easy it will be to clean your (and maybe other people's) sweat, sunscreen and everything else off of it.
Ear plugs. That much music could make your ears ring like crazy. Maybe I'm showing some age.
Shoes. You'll be on your feet a lot, and other people might be on your feet too so I recommend skipping open-toe footwear.
I hope that helps. If you see a well-hydrated guy, covered in SPF900, wearing orange ear plugs and sportin' some dope head gear say hi.

OMG!!!!! This is the worse possible place you will EVER LIVE! Do not move here... I wished somone would have warned me. The miantainece men think they own the place and have their music up constantly. (do not call the office because all they do is reiterate the "quite hours") They (the maintainence men) stay home all day when they are not "working" with their lights and tvs on so of course so, everyone elses utility bills are high as ****! Oh, and get this the utilities aren't metered so they basically charge you whatever they want monthly because they divide the bill EVEN if you DONT USE THEM! They have a water pipe or something break down every other week. If you want running water all the time, clean breathing air, NO BUGS, and a reasonable accuarate utilty bill... DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! Staff sucks! Property looks decent but its NOT so dont be fooled...Far cry from the peaceful quite family oriented community they try to protray.... I could go on for days so I'll stop but you have been warned!

Quality of the apartments is very poor.Pipes in complex always breaking, the water had to be turned off at least every other week at one point. Lots of bugs, black widows and cockroaches everywhere. Management is horrible there, Debbie Maez the main manager is a complete idiot, and treats residents like crap. Rent is ridiculously high for such a crappy apt, you can find much better for the same price. I would never live there again, and recommend that place to no one.

Have had several experiences with apartment living and this way by far the worst. They have a tremendous pest problem. There were several cockroaches every day either in or around the apartment. There is absolutely no accountability with those who work there. They will not work with you and should learn to try and help others within reason. I suggest looking elsewhere. Lived here for 8 months and finally had to get out early of our lease. Work orders were never being taken care of, was never given a pool key and was blamed for neighbors loud music. Front office workers were catty, unprofessional and dishonest!!!

DANE COUNTY (WKOW) -- In just one week, 1,000 Dane County families signed up for the Salvation Army's Christmas assistance program. That's ahead of schedule for this time last year.
This year their red kettle campaign goal is set at $625,000. If they reach it, it would be a record, but they feel they have to increase that goal to match the increase in need.
The sound of bells and the sight or red kettles will soon return to a store near you. Each year your generosity helps to ensure hundreds of Dane County families have a place to stay and a meal to eat throughout the Christmas season.
Salvation Army Development Manager Chris Ziemba says, "We have 44 families on our waiting list for our shelter and then with our warming house we just turned away 27 people which is ten families in the last week."
Ziemba says the need was even more apparent this week after a thousand families registered for their Christmas assistance program Toys for Tots.
Ziemba says, "We have capacity to register 300 families a day so we're looking if we maintain that pace, we'll have well over 4,000-5,000 families registered for our Toys for Tots program."
It's a significant number, slightly higher than what they saw last year, but a number that doesn't surprise anyone at the Dane County shelter.
Ziemba says, "We see people everyday that we're helping with our shelter or our food pantry, it's a consistent thing that people are looking for some kind of help so when the program comes around for Christmas assistance, we know we'll have people turning out for that."
That's why this time of year, the Salvation Army turns to the Dane County community for help whether it's donating toys, cash or time.
Ziemba says, "They feel they're not able to give financially, but if they can just give a few hours and ring a bell at a red kettle, that's also helping."
The red kettle campaign starts November 19th and will run through Christmas Eve.
In Dane County if they don't have someone to ring the bells the kettle won't go out, so it's really important for them that they fill every shift.
If you would like to sign up to be a bell ringer, you can do so at www.ringbells.org. A two-hour shift can go a long ways.

During the recording of
The Beatles' double album, there was a degree of tension between the individual members. On Thursday 22 August 1968, Paul made a comment to Ringo that he'd fluffed while playing a tom-tom. Ringo walked out of the sessions threatening to quit. He spent the next fortnight on a yacht in the Mediterranean owned by Sellers and while there he penned the number 'Octopus's Garden.'

HARDIN CO., Ky. (WHAS11) -- The Kentucky State Police are investigating an accident that happened on Ky. 447 (S. Wilson Road) in Hardin Co. on July 3 at 4:30 p.m. that killed one man and injured two other people.
According to police, Richard C. Lawler, 37, of Eastview was traveling southbound on Ky. 447 on a 1983 Kawasaki KZ750 motorcycle. Michael H. Friedrich, 27, of Renfrew, PA. and Michelle L. Joseph, 28, of Fort Knox, Ky. was traveling northbound on Ky. 447 in a 1997 Ford Mustang.
KSP said, for unknown reasons the vehicle driven by Friedrich crossed the center line into the southbound lane striking Lawler on his motorcycle.
Lawler was pronounced dead at the scene by the Hardin Co. Coroner's Office, according to KSP.
According to KSP, Friedrich was taken to Hardin Memorial Hospital by ambulance with non life-threatening injuries and Joseph was airlifted by AirMethods to University of Louisville Hospital.
Police said the accident is still under investigation.

The SeiFu adjusts to your body's changing needs whether you sit cross-legged (lotus or Burmese) or in a kneeling (seiza) position. Using the SeiFu is simple and can bring new comfort to your meditation. First, let's look at the adjustable cushion's construction:
The SeiFu, stuffed with buckwheat hulls, has a flap with three strips of Velcro®, creating a small compartment in which straps and buckles can be concealed for neatness. Open the flap and you will see two encircling straps each threaded through a buckle. The straps can be tightened or loosened to raise or lower the height of the cushion.
The straps and buckles permit four basic configurations:
Caring for your SeiFu
The SeiFu is washable, but first remove the buckwheat hulls which fill the cushion. The zipper (Fig. A) allows you to add or remove buckwheat hulls. Adding or removing them is another way to adjust the cushion. After just a few periods of meditation, the SeiFu 'breaks in' nicely.
Adjusting The Straps
The best way to open the buckle is to pull up on the loose end of the strap. If you pull the strap over the buckle, using it as a lever, the strap will tighten. If you would like the cushion even tighter, pull the strap back and forth while holding the cushion. Continue this process until the strap is as tight as you would like. Close the buckle while holding the strap down so that the buckle can close without catching the strap.
Black Seifu, $95
Buckwheat Stuffing Refill, $10One pound of buckwheat hulls

The Dallas woman who allegedly tried to sell her 4-month-old baby online said she was not trying to do anything illegal. And she claims the fact that police found the child alone in her apartment was a case of bad timing.
Brittany Hill thinks people believe she is a bad mother for posting what she calls an adoption ad on the website pennysaverusa.com. But the 26-year-old said she is a good parent. She wanted a better home for her son Eden.
Hills said in 2009 she used the same website to adopt out another infant son. This time around she posted an ad because she couldn't financially provide for Eden. She lost her job at a marketing company a few weeks ago, she said.
Also, she was late on rent and her apartment manager came looking for the money on Friday just as she had walked to the mailbox. The manager found Eden alone in the apartment and called police.
"I know a lot of people have their own opinions. But if they knew me as a person they would know I would never, never, never ever sell my child. That's ridiculous. That's against the law. I never wanted to go to jail for something I really didn't do," she said.
Hill was living in an apartment with her partner but said in the ad she was living in a women's shelter. She explained she lied about that detail because she thought an adoptive family might feel sorry for her and be willing to take her son.
She said a woman in Florida had agreed to pay $6,500 for him, but the woman got spooked and called police when she learned no attorneys were necessary.
"You guys can meet at a freaking McDonalds and as long as there is a notary there to notarize it and witness it. There's gotta be a notary and witness. You sign the paper for the child and that's it," Hill said.
But that's not exactly right.
"You can execute a relinquishment at McDonalds, but someone, a professional, has to be involved. I would not recommend having McDonalds creating your legal documents for you," said Heidi Cox with the Gladney Center for Adoption Services.
Cox added most adoptions don't happen overnight.
"The law is complicated for adoption and the reason it is to protect children," she said.
Hill remains in jail for child abandonment. The FBI is also investigating her online ad.
She has two other children in addition to 4-month-old Eden and the son she gave away in 2009. Her parents have legally adopted her 7- and 8-year-old sons.
Her father said he now plans to get involved in the custody fight for Eden, along with the Florida woman who wanted to adopt him and Hill, who said she now wants to take him home.
She referred to the baby's father as a "sperm donor."

Thank you. I used to be quite the cliché-hunter. Every time I read something that rang "too familiar" I avoided it like the plague. And then one day it dawned on me: it's not what you use, it's how you use it. It's taking the mundane, the overused, and turning it into something unique to you.
You have a poem of clichés. And yet it's still its own poem. It stands out, and is beautiful.

Trade credit and bank relationships: evidence from pre-World War I Belgium
AbstractWe investigate the determinants of trade credit granted by suppliers in a historical environment which was characterized by high-information asymmetries and strong banks, focusing on the role of bank-firm relationships. Our results, which are based on a unique sample of 535 firm-year observations for 125 listed Belgian firms in four dominant industries in the period 1905 to 1909, are generally consistent with the financing role of trade credit. They suggest that trade credit was a tool for channelling funds from firms with close bank ties to other firms, which is consistent with findings for contemporary developing countries.

I still don't get the point of Divine Sacrifice. If I go prot because I'm going to tank, why do I want an ability that's likely to instagib me? Yes there are some situations where it's amazingly useful... but other than those few instances I just don't see its value.
Use it with Divine Shield when the raid is taking heavy AoE damage, and it'll lighten the healers' load significantly.
Even if you don't shield yourself, it breaks when you fall to 20%, so you should be okay as long as your healers are paying attention.
A couple of questions about Vengeance for anyone in the beta- How long does the effect last? Do we need to worry about it dropping off between pulls?
We have to take damage equal to 200% of our total health before we get the full effect, so I'm worried that it'll take a long time to reach, especially with larger health pools and avoidance in the mix. It sounds like it's only going to come into play on boss fights.
for the Divine sacrifice mantter...
Currently I don't use it for the damage transfer, because in some cases in ICC25 I really would be instagibbed by it; not directly, but if the buff reduced my health to 20% (which it would really quickly in some bosses) and the boss happened to do a single swing, I'd be a pancake. I use it for the 20% reduction to the raid and have a macro like
/cancelaura [button:2] Divine sacrifice
/stopmacro [button:2]
/cast [button:1] Divine sacrifice
/ra {rt3}{rt3} DIVINE SACRIFICE ON!! {rt3}{rt3}
really useful and if I want to boost it a bit more I'll put the yell to raid warning :>
for the vengeance matter, I'd guess that if the boss fights are still about 4-5 mins long, it might take us about the first 1 min to get the buff fully stacked up. I know that blizz is trying to make the fights less tank spam by increasing the health pool and changing the boss dmg to more rogue-like; fast, but small, but it wouldn't be a challenge of any kind to the healers if the tank didn't die if he wasn't healed in 30 seconds. That would just be too boring. Just thinking about a boss fight where the tank can just sit there without any heals for the first 30 seconds is just... blargh!

I've been making glyphs for a couple of weeks and although the initial set up was a pita, I now have it down to an hour or so of 'work' every other day. I used to spend an hour or so most days on my mining alt but with saronite ore going for 12-15g a stack on my server it just wasn't a sensible use of my time.
I will admit that once you factor in the time I spend buying up frostweave cloth/saronite ore/core of earth/green boe's etc for my tailor/JC/Engy/Enchanter alts and a wee bit of AH flipping and...yup looks like I have a terminal case of gold-cap fever.

BOOKS Stark contrasts to former splendour Cuba: 400 Years of Architectural Heritage by Rachel Carley with photography by Andrea Brizzi. Watson-Guptill, 1997. 224pp. £38.50. (Distributor 01865 361
We are familiar with the two bearded physiognomies, and cigars, but looking at indexes in a number of books on architecture and urbanism, one could think that Cuba does not exist. The country can be confusing. Columbus encountered the island on 27 October 1492. He thought that he had reached Asia and sent his men to search for 'the Great Khan's King of Cities'. In 1881 J W Steele, the us Consul to Cuba, wrote in his Cuban Sketches: 'In your total unlikeness and inhability [sic] to all ...

How big of an XBox 360 shortage is there? Well apparently CEO of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, will have to shop around for an XBox 360 this holiday season just like the rest of you. I say you and not us because I have an XBox 360 :)
According to Steve Ballmer, "The Ballmer children do not have their Xbox 360 yet. I'm in the same boat as many of you."
Shame on you Mr. Ballmer. You should have pre-ordered like me.

But with a lot of people not subscribed to BT's tv channels at the minute, there's a lot of apprehension. So we want to know how...

Motor sport is dying due to rules / regs stating that everyone must use the same tyres / fuel the same size split pins etc. F1 tyres last 4 laps. At least a couple of riders get duff tyres at every Moto GP meeting.
The F1 and Motor GP races are a complete cure for insomnia.
And the embarresment of watching ex champions being ignored on the starting grid is painfull.

I hope the sponsors realise now that the motogp will reach maybe 10% of its past customers and cut their advertising budgets accordingly, this is a huge mistake by dorna, still if all the sponsors cut their budgets back to reflect the quantity of those watching on tele at least it will get rid of the ridiculous 2 races in 1 we currently have because all teams will only be able to afford CRT's

As has been mentioned by others here, F1 and motoGP has become a bit of a bore fest. Both sports just don't translate well onto the oul box.
Road racing on the other hand - Get the BBC to film the races in HD, IOM TT and NW200, proper exciting racing, bit of pre race coverage, interviews with some real characters

Well I don't have or want Sky or BT broadband, so that's the end of my support for MotoGP. When WSB and BSB went to satellite I stopped watching and going to those races. The same now applies to MotoGP - if I can't follow the distant races live on tv, I won't go to the events accessible to me and will spend my money elsewhere, rather than on events and merchandise for something I can't watch. I grew up watching the likes of Barry Sheene and Randy Mamola on BBC coverage, sorry but the modern events aren't as entertaining and don't warrant the huge costs involved in obtaining access to this coverage.
Good luck Cal, but sorry I won't be able to support next year. I will be out on my own bike on Sundays now.

£15 a month, no way. They might throw in the football for that, but they would have to pay me more than that to watch those over paid primadonnas.
May they all rot in hell, and by the way, to the person who commented below (ratchetman), neither Jonathan Ross, nor Chris Moyles work for the BBC anymore. Just blame BT for bidding good old BBC out of the market with the profits they make from the telephone network we all pay for in one way or another.

For one thing we do not BT broadband on the Isle of Man and I certainly will not consider paying £15 per month to watch something that is not very exciting at all. I watched the "unrideables" about the 500 gp's last night and that was very, very exciting full of characters and side by side racing! Moto GP has become boring boring boring with hardly any bikes on the grid, they need to be trying to encourage people to watch rather than forcing them away. Money destroys sport aprreciation for the masses, it was the same with the Ashes cricket and the Ryder cup. More BSB and other more exciting classes would go down well so come on BBC and ITV?

According to ESPN Stats and Info, four all-time FBS records were either set or tied in a wild college football Saturday.
These all-time FBS records were SET or TIED today. What a WILD Saturday. pic.twitter.com/5ZfLUqs7ke
— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) October 20, 2013
Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday finished with 557 yards passing in the Cougars' 62-38 loss to No. 2 Oregon on Saturday night. More importantly for our purposes here, he went 58-of-89 – yes 89 – attempts. He had 4 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. The 89 attempts set a new FBS record, and the 58 completions tied the FBS record.
Mike Leach's high-flying offense ran the ball a total of 12 times in the game.
BYU ran 115 plays on offense in their game against Houston which tied the FBS record. BYU — coincidentally also the Cougars — was the polar opposite of Washington State, running the ball 71 times in their 47-46 victory. They also threw it 44 times.
Quarterback Taysom Hill accounted for 78 of those plays, throwing for 417 yards and four scores on 29-of-44 passing, and rushing 34 times for 128 yards.
Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch set a new FBS record after he rushed for 316 yards in the 23rd-ranked Huskies 38-17 victory over Central Michigan. Interestingly, the record was held by another Northern Illinois quarterback — Stacey Robinson — and was previously set in 1990 when he rushed for 308 yards against Fresno State.
Another record that stood out today was Michigan wide receiver Jeremy Gallon's 369 receiving yards in the Wolverines 63-47 victory over Indiana.
While not an FBS record, it is a new Big-Ten record.
Congrats to all.

Promotional Awards
The key to a successful business lies in the hands of its employees. That's why it's so important to recognize the hours put into each task and the special achievements made by each individual with great promotional awards. Well-chosen awards can boost your employees' morale and make the work environment an enjoyable place to be. Each promotion award is designed to brilliantly display the recipient's name and imprinted text no matter where it is placed. Everyone will love to flaunt their accolades on their desks. Of course, recipients may want to show their family and friends your lovely token of appreciation which is another great perk of these awards. Wherever they go, from home to the office, your award will give employees the boost they need and your company the exposure it deserves.

While the public awaits the upcoming hearing, media outlets nationwide have saturated the airwaves with this story. Undoubtedly, the Bryant case should be covered in the media. It involves one of the most recognized athletes in all of professional sports, and the public has a right to know all of the facts that are pertinent to the case.
However, the media outlets also have a responsibility to decide how much coverage is too much. In scrutinizing every detail of this case, the media has sensationalized this story to such a degree that it is no longer simply about the events that occurred in a hotel room last June. From interviews with employees and guests at the posh Lodge & Spa at Cordillera, where the alleged assault occurred, to distant friends and family of the parties involved, the scope of this story has, unfortunately, grown to include individuals who are in no way connected to the case itself
Print journalists are not the only ones to blame; television viewers have seen 24-hour cable news channels broadcast the details of the Bryant case for an inordinate amount of time, and an online search for the phrase Kobe Bryant Case at www.yahoo.com yields roughly 18,100 results.
The Bryant fiasco is not the first time the media has gone overboard with celebrity crime stories. From the O.J. Simpson trial to the Kirby Puckett sexual assault case in Minnesota, athletes especially well-known athletes make for a great story.
If journalists continue interviewing parties not directly connected to the incident, they risk alienating an audience who has already grown weary of excessive reporting. All media outlets, whether print, television, radio, or Internet-based, need to recognize their primary goal: to inform the people. As the media works to inform the people, the people must be able to trust that the information that they receive is reported in a manner that is comprehensive, while remaining both pertinent and succinct.
The Bryant case, like so many stories about athletes and scandals during the past decade, has served to tarnish the image of the media. As journalists look for yet another angle on the same story, and pundits endlessly debate the expected outcome of the trial, we have seen and heard details about the situation that are not relevant to the upcoming case.
The media must recognize that such reporting is not necessary. Ultimately, the case will be decided based on the testimony of two individuals: Bryant and his accuser. Therefore, the media coverage related to the case should remain focused on these individuals.

Overdone Lyrics
I'm a snake in the grass
Watch your feet,
Let me pass.
I'm tight and afraid
I can't eat,
I can't change.
And all the little mice
Are dancing in sunlight
While I shuffle past,
Just a snake in the grass
And, oh, I'm overcome
And, oh, now I am new.
Oh oh, I am in love again
Oh oh, I am consumed by it
Oh oh, I am in love again
Under-drugged and overdone.
I'm a snake on a shelf
Just a pile of myself
While the mice in the walls
Find joy in it all.
But I'm bad, bred to suffer
In the dark,
In this room.
I'll explode, I'll escape
Get me out,
Make it soon.
If there's a god that could save me
I'd ask that he open the skies and do it now
But it's just a chemical,
I'm not a snake
I'm just falling apart again
Look at me, I'm sobbing like a child.
Oh oh, I am in love
Oh oh...

Hungry for a Momwich? Successful Multi-Generational Living
- Monday, September 25, 2006
There are certain things you start to say when you reach a certain age (like, "What is with all that noise on the radio?" and "Young people used to have manners in this country."). You can actually track how close you are to getting put in a nursing home by the frequency of these sorts of phrases in your daily conversations.
So, at the risk of sounding elderly, weren't the TV commercials better back in the sixties and seventies? Other than the really bad polyester outfits, the products were all designed to make our lives better and to shave the time we spent preparing meals. We had Tang —the orange flavored drink that the astronauts drank! We watched commercials for Hungry Man TV dinners, and you had your choice of mixing biscuits (Bisquick) or popping them out of a can (Pillsbury).
One of the more interesting (genderwise, that is) food commercials was one that implied a real manly man would never eat a regular sloppy joe sandwich, he needed a "Manwich" (think Tim "The Toolman" Taylor making his grunting noises). Wouldn't you think that all the bra-burning militant feminists of that era would have protested this stereotypical product labeling by boycotting Manwich? Not on your life! I have no idea what testosterone-driven ad agent thought that name would sell more sauce, but he must've been a genius because it's still on the grocery store shelves to this day.
I have experienced something slightly different than a Manwich. I have been both a bread slice and I have been the filling in what I call a "Momwich." This is a scenario where three generations of women (mother and a daughter and her daughter) all live under one roof. Sometimes it's by choice, sometimes it's of necessity, but it's always an interesting mix.
When I was two years old, my biological father left my mother and me. It was devastating for my mom, and she would have been unable to support us both had we not moved in with her parents. My mom has told me that, as my grandfather was a man given to fits of rage, she was reluctant to move back home but really had no choice financially. So it was that from the age of two until I was ten, I was the younger piece of bread in a Momwich. I have asked my mom what it was like for her to move back in with her mother at that time in her life, and she said it was a comfort to have her mom there daily during the time when she was healing from the emotional wounds of divorce and that her mother, ever the strong soul and optimist, acted as a buffer between her and her father.
My earliest childhood memories include spending lots of time with my Nana (because my mom was working) and playing out on the farm. The days were slow, just as they should be when you a little mayo with the momwich are a child and have no reason to feel the passage of time. I recall feeling quite loved by my Nana and my mom (also by my grandfather, who in his older years was more docile), so this Momwich was a blessing for me and provided stability in my early life. It also gave my mom a few years of emotional haven where she could find her confidence again. My grandmother believed that God would send my mom a soulmate (since the dating pool in our little town was pret-ty small!), and mom was resolute to hold out for someone who would love her deeply. When John Pulliam moved to Burnet to work at a fish hatchery, Mom and John fell in love and married, so the Momwich was no longer necessary. Interestingly enough, Nana would continue to spend parts of the year with us even when we moved from Texas to Virginia. Momwiches are enduring.
And I've found that Momwiches can morph over time, as I am now the middle part of one. I am the meaty sauce, the daughter/ mother in between my mom and my daughter, and the joe can get pretty sloppy some days. When we moved to Atlanta several years ago, my parents were already in the area living on the opposite side of town. My dad's job took him on overseas trips frequently, so when Dad was out of the country Mom would stay with us so that she wouldn't have to be alone. At the same time I was starting to travel more frequently for my own work and ministry, and Mom and Dad would come over on those weekends to help out with the kids.
