then I suppose a fire hose is out of the question
Don't researchers have SERIOUS and IMPORTANT issues – major health questions – to work on?
Ear wax?
Where's the answer to AIDS? MS? Cancer, of all kinds?
What's the matter with these people?
It will be a cold day in hell before I listen to these recommendations. Having heard these before, all I can say is these people are out of their minds. Anyone who has a handful of brain cells SHOULD be able to maneuver Q-Tip around their ear without pushing the substance in further. For that matter, proper maintenance with Q-Tips makes it so there is little to nothing to get pushed back!
Here I am envisioning the dinner table scene in the opening sequence of SHREK.
Ear infections can be a serious problem. I used to suffer all the time from outer ear infections that were horribly painful and I would get these terrible outer ear infections after surfing or windsurfing. However, cleaning my ears with Qtips totally eliminated the problem for me. I recognize that this article and the qtip folks do NOT recommend cleaning the ear canal because it can also risk puncturing the ear drum. But it works for me and it has been a great blessing to have found a way to avoid painful outer ear infections.
is this really the wall street journal?
What about a paper clip?
I agree with the above comments. I have used Q-Tips for my entire life and so has every member of my family. If you do not have the brains to not bury a Q-Tip up to your wrist in your ear; you more than likely do not have a whole lot of gray matter in there to start. Not cleaning our your ears is for people with poor personal hygiene.
I love your posts folks, very funny.
It's the Health blog. What did you expect, a stock 'tip' regarding which company's stock is in the tank 'cause they're getting sued for producing a bad ear cleaning product???
Someone, please call Governor Palin and tell her that she forgot about another way to free ourselves from foreign oil–we could harvest American's earwax. We could lay down pipelines to every American's bathrooms to collect this "American" resource. We could create jobs for Americans to process earwax into high grade jet fuel to fill up our planes to bombs the Palestinians. We could turn the wax into hypoallergenic and biodegradeable condoms, so that girls like her daughter won't get pregnant. We can start taxing Americans fees to remove their wax for them and feed it into medicare funds. I'm so glad that the WSJ brought us this interesting report.
From an ENT doc: If you're crazy enough to put a LIGHTED CANDLE to the side of your face, and you get injured…well, there's just no answer for that. As far as q-tips go, I could recite story after story of patients who were innocently cleaning their ear with it, when suddenly their child (or dog, or the front door opening) bumped into their elbow, perforating the drum and in two cases causing the hearing bones to become displaced with immediate dizziness and permanent hearing loss. Guidelines are just that; recommendations based on scientific methodology. These recommendations come about via the same process as guidelines for treating ear infections and so forth. And while it's not curing cancer, or AIDS or MS, more adults and children come in to be seen for problems related to ear wax than these much more serious illnesses. We're just trying to help.
If you suffer from impacted earwax it's not funny. The best solution I've discovered is a few drops of liquid Colace (docusate) inserted into the ear several night in a row followed by use of the ear irrigation syringe. Colace works much better than any of the other oils or liquids suggested for earwax removal. You can geta 30ml bottle of 1% solution on Amazon for about $10.
I think that we need to remember that our ears are a road to some of the most important parts of the human body. The last thing anyone needs is more problems inside their head. We need to take all advice we get from sources and apply common sense to it. I would be very careful when dealing with the ear.
This is so ridiculous. How about, "How to remove facial hair?" "Don't use a razor!" Razors are very dangerous instruments that can cut you, in the face of all places. And sahving against the hair can cause ingrown hair follicles. Is that worth the risk?
I don't have an ear wax problem but I have these little wiry hairs that grow in number and stick out. It is tough to keep up trimming them all.
Huh, could you speak up, again?
Excellent article. I never have truly known how, when, or if to properly clean earwax, since when you use soap to clean it, it later becomes stuck inside, blocking its structure.
And Q Tips seemed to push it farther, while cleaning some of it, no doubt, but which can hurt you, as the article states.
One thing you forgot to mention though, and which has truly been helpful to me:
When you catch a cold, and have a runny nose, always BLOW out, no matter how many times you have to.
Otherwise the mucus gets stuck, not just in the nose, but a lot goes to your ear. Then it hurts, creating an emergency.
This is the nonsense I want to fill the Wall Street Journal with.
Was expecting to read something revolutionary… and… it read more like a 30 second sound bite from the news.
Qtips work fine to clean out ear wax. Get over it.
yeah you have to be a pretty dumb to do damage to your ear with a q-tip… the people that manufacture these is so if someone gets hurt using one they wont be resposible haha… i use q-tips on my ears like every day and they work fin!
How about the keys to a '72 Ford Galaxy? That's what my grandad always used. Worked for him. Plus it lubed the ignition…
I agree that for most people Q-tips used carefully do no harm. For 15% of people, however, ear wax is a problem because genetically they make hard dry wax. In my experience, older women who no longer shampoo their hair in the shower but go to the beautician have the most difficulty, because the steamy hot water of a shower does much to minimize the problem. These are the same people who are better off getting help for their ear wax.
Of course the otolaryngologists see only the worst cases, which explains their perspective. Nonetheless, people do clutter up the schedules of doctors' offices with such matters, raising the cost of care for us all.
I also suspect it has been a really slow week in medical news coverage, with very few conferences being scheduled in conflict with the Olympics or the political party conventions.
The following items should also not be used to clean earwax:
pipe cleaners;
lollipop sticks;
car keys;
pencils with too sharp a point;
cocktail swizzle sticks;
nail clippers;
screwdriver longer than 4 inches;
umbrella tips;
9 inch nails;
uncooked strand of spaghetti;
flame on tip of charcoal grill lighter;
fish hooks;
shish kabob skewers.
When I saw the photo of the plate a la flaming tube to the ear, I thought this was a WSJ review of New York's newest, most chic restaurant.
I have had problems with plugged ears, where I had to go to the doctor because I couldn't hear. What the doctor taught me, after cleaning out the wax, was to irrigate my ear with hydrogen peroxide. The peroxide would desolve the earwax, and then I could irrigate my ear with warm water to finish cleaning it out.
Used carefully, an electric soldering iron with small loop tip solves the open flame problem.
Candles are barbaric. I've found that an acetylene torch provides the requisite precision and power to get the job done every time.
I'm LOL at the comments. But I am not LOL at the time it takes to deal with this problem in the emergency room.
Sometimes folks come in because their ears are plugged, but most of the time during an exam, the ED physician cannot see the eardrum due to the wax build up.
That's where I come in.
I'm a nurse.
I get the honor of irrigating the ear so the doctor can see whether or not an infection is going on in there.
God, I love my job…. : D
The golden rule of ear wax states: "Never put anything in your ear that is smaller than your elbow."
We have been using a solution of 50% hydrogen peroxide and warm water for years on our kids, following instructions from the pediactric nurse. The ear wax problem was first discovered when my son had tests for ADHD and his hearing was affecting his classroom learning in first grade. Since then, stright a's and no ear infections. Although it does involve a lot of patience and trust on both the parent's and child's part.
I get a lot of enjoyment out of cleaning my husband's ears with q-tips…I am very skilled, and both our cat and our young son are fascinated by the process.
For some empty headed people, the American Academy of Obtusology recommends the use of dental floss to eradicate ear wax in both ears in a convenient and simultaneous fashion.
I liked the article. Not everything has to be Earth-shattering. This was practical and helpful.
Although, I have no scientific proof of such: Observation of my own struggles with continually impacted ears has lead me to believe those who suffer with allergies run a higher risk of producing more wax than the body can normally shed naturally. As such, the wax doesn't exit the ear in a normal process and the ear canal slowly fills. As it does, the innner ear itches. Without dicipline, most people will try to scratch inside their ear to relieve the discomfort which only serves to worsen the problem by accelerating the impaction. Several times a year, during the height of my allergy season, m ears itch horribly and without fail get impacted to the point of a complete loss of hearing in one or both ears. I've been to the doctor multiple times for wax removal, but that process if fairly painful. So, to the bloggers whose comments are mocking the plight of sufferers, I say "Good job coming up with pithy one-liners. Some are kind of funny.", but please try to show a little sympathy and respect to those of us who actually hope articles like these might tell us something we haven't already "heard" before. Sorry for the pun. :)
Its not just the fact that you can accidently "push in the q-tip too far". Its teh external auditory canal that you can damage also. Even if you dont notice any damage now. or red itchyness, Over time it disrupts the sebacouse glands which produce ear wax and lubricate the external ear canal, over time with q-tip use it dries it up and makes your ear itchy, scabbed, and red. By the time you are older the damage has been done. And your glands wont be able to produce the lubrication it takes to push ear wax out and produce earwax at all. Also any wax that has been pushed back also hardens after time and builds up near your tempanic membrane and it will take a physician to remove it. So dooont use qtips for digging in your ear. Even if you claim youve been doing it forever. I bet you and whoever has done it before you have hearing problems, or not able to distinguish some sounds, or have itchy ears! The earwax will naturally push itself out.
I am a medical assistant and when a patient has an impaction, we do use a water pic. However, we use the lowest setting and have a special attachment to prevent damage to the ear!!
What the hell is with some of you people? These are just some basic tips…what the heck were you expecting??? Just because you have never had an ear wax issue don't go acting all high and mighty about how stupid this article this.
I beg to differ with the ear candle statement.
My father suffered for years with impacted ears. A friend showed us how to make the ear candles and then demonstrated how to use them. He never again had to go to the doctors office to get the hard dried wax out. That first time was amazing. And no it wasn't the wax from the candle that filled up the the hollow tube of the ear candle.
I've tried the store bought ones which never fit right. And they don't do as good of a job. I'll continue to make my own and use them.
Q-Tips – Not very much smaller than the ear canal, making it physically impossible not to push some of the material back into your ear. In fact, if you're accustomed to pushing gently, you probably will never come to know how much wax you've mashed against your ear drum!
Paper Clip – The equivalent of cleaning your tongue with a wire brush. What kind of idiot with put perforations throughout a sensitive membrane normally protected by fluid?
"I beg to differ with the ear candle statement." I beg you to read about probability. See the definition for "exception." Moron.
We clean my dad's ear weekly with a bobby pin and flashlight.His ear is always orange!!!!!It's disgusting!
Waterpik to clean ear wax?!! WOW – who'd of thunk! I'm going to fire mine up right now….
This is a very serious matter. I'm having it right now actually, and I'm glad I googled on some good advise. I'm going to start with using the baby oil and maybe peroxide. hopefully I won't end up in the ER. Trust me, this is not a fun feeling.
What works for me is to use a 5/16″ drill bit in my variable speed drill. But great care must be taken to avoid the eardrum, and baby oil is used to reduce friction.
If you don't get this artical your are not suffering from this affection. There is always a wiseass in the crowd!
I did this just today, so I am quite sure that it works. I bought I rubber bulb-type syringe at the pharmacy for less than two dollars. I filled it with luke-warm water, inserted the tip of the syringe about half-way into my ear and injected a gentle but steady stream of water into my ear. On the second bulb-full of water the wax plug came out. If you try to use swabs or hard objects, you risk impacting the wax, i.e., pressing it even deeper into the ear. Daily cleaning of the ear with swabs is not necessary or even recommended. Your ears produce wax for a reason, and that is for protection. The ears are normally self-cleaning, but for reasons unknown, an ear will sometimes produce too much wax. I am 65 years old, and this is only the second time in my life that I have had this problem. This time I did what the doctor did the first time.
My rule of thumb is that, if I've done it before without a problem and thousands and thousands of people do it routinely without a problem, there must not be a problem, if done correctly. You see, it is always the foolish person who gives the process a bad name.
Ear candling, when done correctly with properly made candles, cannot hurt you. You simply have to take safety precautions, as you would normally do when you do anything.
Don't let the errant mistakes by foolish people make it so that you don't benefit from such a thing as ear candling. It is AWESOME and I will never stop doing this. I happen to think that Dr.s tell you not to do it because it cuts into their bottom line.
My doctor used a huge syringe as well and here they are telling us not too? At any rate, it wasn't enough and I had to resort to using a lot of 6% peroxide and let it sit for a while and then cleaned the ears out with a syringe.
You added allot of "Don't Do's" for this article. How about some " DO TRY THIS!!!" These seem to be allot more helpful
I always hear "Don't use a WaterPik, don't use a WaterPik." So I go to the doctor after everything else fails, and what does he do? He immediately breaks out the WaterPik.
The article quotes "America's otolaryngologists" and "Richard Rosenfeld, one of the authors of the guidelines". They clain the waterpik is not safe and should not be used. Then why is it that I went to my doctor at Kaiser Permanente, one of the largest and respected health care entities in the country and what did they use to clean my ear? A Waterpik. 'nuff said. It worked quickly and painlessly.
Note: I asked the nurse when he performed the procedure about this and he said if the article I read did not make it clear (and it did not!) it is not safe for "home users" or "do-it-yourself-ers" to try and should only be performed in a doctor's office under controlled conditions, and with someone experienced in the procedure. This is because it CAN be done incorrectly and cause harm. -Just for clarification.
I have performed hundreds of ear candleings and have had grest results. It removes the wax and if you take the correct precautions is safe as going to a Dr. actually safer. Just be sure to have proper traing and know what your doing.
Kul!now i know
I'm not surprised that Insurance brokers are the loosers in this situation. This is why the decision for health care should have stayed with the states and not the federal government. insurance brokers (like kitchener) have an incredibly large hill to climb, but in the end I think their will be an end to such federal regulations.
if I don't clean my itchy ears, I'm going to get a massive dollop on my cotton swab when I finally do deign to clean my ears so thank you, i'm going to ignore this advice and clean my ears!
While ear candling may cause damage if not done correctly, I learned that there are two possible theories of why it works. One theory says that the burning candle creates a vacuum, which draws wax out of the ear. The second theory is that the candle causes the earwax to melt, and the wax will seep out of the ear over the next several days. One thing that worries me, is that if you don't remove ear wax some how, the excess moisture could cause otitis externa.
Just use the end of a Bic pen cap. It works perfectly to SCOOP out the wax!
I don't understand: we should not use a wax candle because a danger of burn or because it doesn't work. If you are an responsilble adult, you know what you are doing. I use candles for years, and they work. They are just non traditional, but quite old medication.
I love to beat my houn
I used ear candles for the first time ever today. i was very skeptical it seems a bit ridiculous. and its not something you should do by yourself. but with someone there to light the candle trim the ash off as it burns down its not a problem. i used one candle on each ear and after it was over i was amazed and a little bit grossed out at what it had pulled out of my ears. as long as you follow the directions its actually quite effective at removing big chunks of wax from your ears
I have a bonner
i will try the candle
I tried ear candles before. They are useless. the "wax" that is advertised coming out of my ear wasn't even remotely the same color as my earwax. I have also used cutips and the waterpik, on a very weak battery. The most effective solution is warm water or mineral oil. it clears your ears right up.
Many years I, my Mother & her Mother had ringing in the ears, have learned to live with it my turning on music or TV to drown out the sound, but not loud.
My sister introduced me to the Candle method, GREAT It Worked. Mother's friend had been to the Family Physian about not hearing out of both ears, he gave her no solution to her problem other than you are getting older and starting to lose your hearing.
Again my sister while I was there did her ears, after the candle tube was opened and seen all the dry chalky old wax after years of complaining to the Doctor, this lady could hear, no more raising your voice.
I suggested she take this old wax in the kleenex back to her Doctor to show him the results of Candle Waxing.
It is not something you do on a daily basis or weekly. Or even yearly.
As for the ringing in my ears, I read up on that, It is an Inner Ear Problem, something I will have to put up with, till I find out more Information.
OR just pay your local ENT doctor and do it yourself – that would be equally as satisfying for them.

Attack mode pays dividends for Derrick Rose, Bulls in road win
By Neil Hayes email@example.com December 30, 2011 12:24AM
Derrick Rose (19 points, eight assists) shoots over the Kings' Chuck Hayes on Thursday. | Ezra Shaw~Getty Images
The facts: 9:30, Ch. 9, 1000-AM.
Updated: January 31, 2012 8:28AM
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Derrick Rose stepped to the free-throw line less than three minutes into Thursday night's game against the Kings. When he was scoring himself with pull-up jumpers or by driving into the lane, the reigning MVP was creating easier shots for his teammates, and the Bulls' offense looked as good as it has this season.
Rose said it would be an easy adjustment, and he was right. After the offense stalled early in the first two games, the Bulls point guard vowed to be more aggressive early, and he was against the Kings in Power Balance Pavilion. The result? For the first time this young season, the Bulls' offense looked like the Bulls' offense of old in a 108-98 victory.
Rose knew something had to change when the offense looked lifeless for the second consecutive game in Monday night's loss at Golden State. By the time the Bulls practiced Wednesday, coach Tom Thibodeau had told Rose what he already knew: It was time to forget about getting everybody else involved and be aggressive like he was during last year's MVP season.
Rose got the message.
"[Derrick] was in attack mode right from the start of the game," Thibodeau said afterward. "That's usually who he is. He set the tone on both ends."
Said Rose: "I'm kind of mad. The refs kind of messed me up late in the game and [foul trouble] threw me off my game a little. We were really playing in a groove. Guys were really shooting the ball. My assists are going to be high this season."
Rose wasted little time establishing himself. After taking four shots in the first quarter of the first two games, he took seven shots in the first quarter against the Kings, making three. He attempted as many free throws (4) in the first half than he had in the first two games.
The Bulls scored 15 unanswered points in the first quarter and could have put the young Kings away if not for more sloppy defense, turnovers (18 for 23 Kings' points) and foul trouble by several key players, including Rose, who also had several uncharacteristic turnovers late.
Carlos Boozer was the of the primary beneficiaries of Rose's more-aggressive approach. The forward finished with 16 points and 15 rebounds. Rip Hamilton added 16 as the Bulls had five players in double figures. Rose finished with 18 points and eight assists in limited minutes. C.J. Watson came off the bench to contribute eight points and nine assists.
When to make sure he's getting his shots and when to set up others always will be a balancing act for Rose. What he has to remember is he can do both. The best way for him to set up his teammates is by doing what he does better than any point guard in the league — attack the basket and score himself or find the open man.
"Derrick is Derrick," Rip Hamilton said. "He can dominate the game in so many different ways. As a point guard he still has to get a feel for everybody on the floor and knowing when to attack and when to initiate the offense. Things like that."

This discussion is basically correct. Some comments:
1) You always want to advertise the entire block (in this case, a /16).
If you don't own the entire block, then you should have a relationship
with to BGP originator of the block advertisement such that you can
receive traffic from them where you expect it (if, for example, you AS is
not really "well connected".)
2) There is no substitute for looking at things in the real world. To
understand how filtering works and routes propagate, I suggest two

The route-views.oregon-ix.net router receives BGP from all but a few of

I'm trying to figure out to what degree the existence of these policies
be accounted for in a BGP design which includes sites around the world.
I've read through a few of the threads having to do with Verio's
Filtering Policy. And I read the policies listed here:
Consider the following theoretical scenario:
Site BGP Advertisement to ISP
Amsterdam 126.96.36.199/24 AMSISP
Austin 18.104.22.168/24 Genuity & Internap
SanFran 184.108.40.206/24 Genuity & Internap
Tokyo 220.127.116.11/24 TOKISP
Sydney 188.8.131.52/24 SYDISP
1. Since Verio says they would not accept /24 nets drawn from Class B space,
I assume this means that they don't insert a /16 into their tables so that
the /24 nets appear to Verio customers as unreachable. In this case, a
that wants to extend connectivity to verio customers (and any
other ISP with similar policies) must include a /16 advertisement from at
one of the sites.
2. Suppose a customer of a Verio-like ISP, wishes to go to ftp. foo.org. DNS
returns 126.96.36.199 (in amsterdam, see above). Verio passes the traffic
to the neighbor it received the /16 advertisement from. At this point, the
best thing that could happen
is if that neighbor has the /16 and /24 networks in its route table, right?
means, a path exists for that user to the amsterdam server and the only
with routing to Amsterdam is that Verio possibly handed the traffic to a
neighbor. Am I understanding this issue correctly?
I'm new to BGP. I've tried to get a handle on this issue on my own and by
working with Genuity, Internap and Cisco. No disrespect to those companies
each of them had this vague memory of Verio's policy but couldnt really tell
in plain language how it might affect the above scenario. Obviously, I
wasn't talking
to chief engineers. Someone from the CCIE mailing list suggested I browse
the archives of this list, which I did. But I didnt find a clear enough
answer to my questions--perhaps because they are too basic to be discussed
here or I'm not good at using this lists archive search engine.
Either way, any guidance on the above scenario is greatly appreciated.

(Shaker Road) As of 6/10 Dom Dibenedetto is member of shaker road fire department and is cleared to ride the apparatus
The Shaker Road Fire Department was formally organized in 1932 when thirty members met and elected James J. Naughter President and Arthur G. Emerick Chief. The original station was located at 526 Albany Shaker Road at the site of an old Sunday School House. Our original pumper was a 1918 White obtained from the Albany Fire Department. A newer station was constructed up the road in 1949 and remained our main station until 1989 when our current station was constructed. Our second station, built in 1972 to meet the needs of our growing district is located on Old Niskayuna Road.
Since the 30s, Shaker Road has gone through many changes from membership to the apparatus we respond with. Today we stand 150+ male and female members strong with the latest training, equipment and apparatus and respond to an average of about 750 calls a year. Our department boasts a fine blend of eager newcomers with the experience of its older members. We continue to look to our community to fill the ranks of our firefighters, our Explorer Post and our Auxiliary.
Interested in volunteering with us? Stop by either station on April 26th and learn how you can be part of our team!

Explorer Post 475 is a division of the Boy Scouts of America and is sponsored by the Shaker Road Loudonville Fire Department Inc. Since the 1970s, the Post has been a valuable resource for young people to gain experience in the firefighting services.
Under the supervision of firefighter advisors, Post members train like members of the department, learning about search and rescue, extrication, fire suppression, first aid and more. Explorers even participate in ride-along shifts on actual calls. The Post meets Mondays of the month at the Shaker Road Loudonville F.D. Station #1.

Eating Mission-Required Food
Ahoy Bounty Island Players! Today I have an informative post concerning the new missions feature for you. This is some real insider information!
You might have noticed, as I have, that there are many missions that require you to collect certain types of food. This food is also often consumable for energy. You have probably also noticed that when you are working on a mission that requires a particular item, said item is much easier to come across. As a result, it can be very tempting to eat this food.
However, food required by a mission will not be easy to find indefinitely. In fact, if you eat more than one or two of a required food item while on a mission, you may find yourself having to acquire the required item from the store, or by discovering it naturally in the course of your digging!
In short: you can get away with using a mission-required item once or maybe even twice, but be wary of using them any further!

Hi, My Name is Jørgen
I work on Bounty Island, and it's my job to talk to Bounty Island players. My goals are to encourage a dialogue that makes the game more fun, and to create a fun, engaging community around Bounty Island. So let's have some fun!
I take these goals seriously, and I pledge the following to the Bounty Island community and to each individual Bounty Island Player:
- I will listen to your feedback, represent the community wherever necessary and get answers to your concerns.
- I will engage daily.
- I will be genuine and relevant.
- I will be a Bounty Island player myself.
In return, here is how you can help, and be a part of, the Bounty Island community!
- Express yourself. Tell us what you think about features in Bounty Island. What would make it more fun for you? Share Bounty Island stories!
- Tell your friends about Bounty Island and encourage them to join the community.
Let's get to know each other. Here are five things you didn't know about me:
- I can happily play ball- and frisbee-related sports for hours on end. I'm sort of like a dog that way. Consequently, I'm a dog person.
- I have one tattoo. I got it while travelling in Thailand in the summer of my 18th year.
- I always sleep with the window beside my bed open, because I like cold air.
- I'm growing a vegetable garden this year, for the first time ever.
- I love numbered lists.
Are you in? Let's work together to create an awesome community experience around Bounty Island. In the end, it's about having fun!
Our main discussion hub will likely be the Bounty Island Facebook page, and you can also reach out us on twitter @BountyIsland.
P.S. If you're ever in Kitsilano on a sunny day, send me a tweet and we can play some frisbee, soccer, tennis, volleyball, basketball, etc.

Aw, come on, boys. It had to be the video, otherwise Obama's ME policy is failing. Well, due to the Obama regime's amateur nite in Dixie operation, the video story didn't work. Now, they've got a hundred other stories. America's actual dilemma in the ME is, and has been, what happens when we help end a despots rule? The despots were keeping the lid on. Now look what you've got -- Islamists. The current action in Gaza is the lead up to Egypt abrogating the peace accords with Israel. Bush started this, and Obama is continuing the mistake. Now, it's so "messed" up, there's hardly a way out. In a way, that's a good thing. Finally, in the end, we will be forced to exploit our own energy resources, regardless Obama and his denizens.

Star Trek Into Darkness
The crew of the Starship Enterprise returns home after an act of terrorism within its own organization destroys most of Starfleet and what it represents, leaving Earth in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Capt. James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) leads his people (Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoë Saldana) on a mission to capture a one-man weapon of mass destruction, thereby propelling all of them into an epic game of life and death.

Mae West said, "Too much of a good thing is wonderful," but "Star Trek Into Darkness" proves her wrong. Director J.J. Abrams' second adventure with the crew of the Starship Enterprise revolves around a bad guy who looks like a normal Starfleet agent but is superhuman in his powers and subhuman, or at least monstrous, in his willingness to annihilate any species inferior to him and his kind. "Star Trek Into Darkness" is chock-full of goodies: inventive, exciting set pieces, uproarious face-offs between Captain Kirk and First Officer Spock, and amusing riffs on older movie hits and cults. But like its villain, it doesn't know when to stop. You may find yourself going from loving it, to liking it, to becoming a wee bit tired of it – that's how relentlessly Abrams and his writers, Damon Lindelof and the team of Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, keep upping the scale of their cliff-hanging subplots and destruction fantasies.(Full review)

Thanks to the storm and a ton of people home, the connection is now atrocious. 720p video streaming is actually impossible this time.Give it a few more times before it annoys me to the point I force myself to start talking to people again. What a nightmare that's going to be.
It's peak time so I'm not surprised about the upload, but it's working ok otherwise.
You have been talking to people for months, just the wrong people. You could have contacted CV with less effort than all the posts you made in the past few months. Live chat support is nice when you don't want to be on the phone.
Are there 5 channels in your area? I don't really know my NJ geography very well.Nodes are generally split based on usage stats, not call volume. Whoever you want to contact, it doesn't matter to me, but before aiming for someone that high when you haven't had an issue for an extended period of time prior to October when you started posting about it.
There have been 5 channels in my area for at least a year now.It's actually when those channels were added that my severe packet loss issues were finally resolved.Internet was basically 100% advertised speeds at all times back then. Fast forward a year and a half and now it's become oversaturated to the point where 'peak times' cause me to fall below half avertised speed on busy days.The connection becomes useless for streaming even 480p video on days where a lot of people are home, like the snowstorm yesterday.Oversaturation and oversold nodes, what CV is known for. I'm better off than most people who've had speed issues, but it's still fairly bad on those days.
Yet another night of poor speeds.
If you have someone call, whether there is a field issue, cmts issue, or contention issue, they'd set up an appointment. The rep doesn't need the whole story; a decent chunk of it is irrelevant towards addressing the current issue, especially for the guy on the phone. From my experience, most notes in the appointment history are not even read, just the codes used (slow speeds, docsis 3 modem). If it's evenings, tell them to schedule either a 5-8 PM or 2-5 PM if that covers it too, and make sure you ether are there for the appointment or briefed someone who will be there with the info. If the tech confirms an issue, they'll escalate to OSP.
Let's face it, Both Christmas and New Years Day slowdowns like this as DAOWAce points out is just how much cable internet in general is oversold and oversaturated...when most people are home at one time to use it.Once tomorrow rolls around it'll be fine I bet.
He's been posting about that since October.
Mine started up again now too.
Fine here, granted it is 2am.. I'll test again in the afternoon, but I didn't notice any slow down earlier today
i went from this:»imgur.com/GZ3Px2X,qw5D3pk#1to this:»imgur.com/GZ3Px2X,qw5D3pk#0
Heres 3pm, still fine here. I used to have issues year round before I got a docsis 3 modem, fixed everything here.
1:50 AM last night 8:15 PM last night 9:57 PM -It's sad because I do most of my work at night so this is making it hard to do anything at all honestly. It stops around ~2-3 AM like nothing ever happened. The day before it started in the morning, and ended in mid afternoon, and then started again at around 8-9 PM and went back into that full cycle. They need to get their stuff together otherwise I'll move back to Verizon. Better to pay $12 more and get 75/35 than to deal with this hassle.
Well, I've been trying to do a livestream tonight, but I'm having a lot of frame drops and now disconnections for seemingly no reason. Finally decide to do a speedtest and I'm at nearly half of my max upload speed.»speedtest.net/result/2460781738.pngThis hasn't happened before.. unless it's a sign of packet loss again.Doing a traceroute (winmtr) to google.com and it's dropping packets every so often within OOLs systems. Minimal (1-2%), but it's there.Well, this is great; thought packet loss was a thing of the past. Apparently not!Edit: »/r3/smokeping.···39c86.KSEdit2: Resolved hours later by itself, of course. Continuing the trend of BS I had years ago, stopped just after I went to sleep!But of course, now my downstream is congested; least that doesn't matter for livestreaming.
I had a tech come out. He replaced my modem and put in a request for a new underground drop. *sigh* Now I can't even call back in until they're done with that.As expected, 500+ ms pings and double digit packet loss continue.
Another night of sporadic speeds and packet loss, this time also affecting downstream.»www.speedtest.net/result/2467251140.pngOnly started happening within the last hour too.»/r3/smokeping.···39c86.KS
Cablevision has a standard time window of 5pm-8pm. You can schedule a tech to be there while it's happening instead of having him come there at 8am when everything is perfect. It's all guessing at that point.Also, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. If you get really irate on the phone at 1am, they will dispatch an on-call technician to you even at 1am.Cablevision just activated 3 more downstream channels in certain areas. Soon to roll out in all areas.Upstream issues are 'normally' caused by ingress on the node, not necessarily a usage issue. It can be caused by a neighbor coming home at a certain time and turning on a faulty tv for example.An upstram problem can affect downstream speeds because of TCP ACKS. When downloading, your pc ACKnowledges the receipt of packets. If the ACK is not sent, the downstram packets are retransmitted by the sender, not knowing that you already got them, causing a slowdown.
Downstream congestion issues due to Obama's State of the Union. Speeds fluctuated between 10-30Mbps, caused very large delays on initiating connections to servers.Still waiting for the upgrade to 8 channels.EDIT: What a coincidence, my node was just upgraded to 8 channels 20 minutes ago.Well, hopefully this resolves the issues that started appearing due to becoming oversold again in the last year and a half.

Alter one's senses, make one suspicious.Originally Posted by Joe
It's an idiom; it comes from birds; when a bird is uncomfortable or uneasy, it ruffles it's feathers.2) The lecture had probably ruffled some conservative feathers in the audience.
I thought "feathers" here refers to some kind of people. But in the dictionary, I saw a "ruffle someone's feathers" item. Does the sentence have anything to do with the phrase in the dictionary?
To make one feel uneasy, uncomfortable.
Yup. You got it. They are as inspired as they are horrific. :D3) ...employing methods as inspired as they are horrific.
Does it suggest that "the methods are both inspired and horrific"? This kind of comparing is kind of tricky, because to me, "being inspired" and "being horrific" are uncomparable--they are different qualities.

response to Giants general manager Jerry Reese's comments that he wants to
see more "aggression," offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo indicated that he is looking
to increase the number of explosive play calls to jumpstart the team's flagging
In Larry Donnell's mind, he cost the Giants that game two weeks ago, when he caught a third-and-8 pass for a first down, tried desperately to battle for a few extra yards, and was ultimately stripped, a turnover that essentially ended the Giants' chances in what was a close game. And on Monday night the tight end wants a chance to atone.
Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. isn't the only one in his family who can run. The Giants rookie speedster's mother, Heather Van Norman, will compete in Sunday's New York City Marathon. It's the first marathon for the 45-year-old Van Norman, who is the track and field and cross country coach at Nicholls State University and was a six-time All-American at LSU.
31 Rashad
Jennings ruled out for Monday night's game vs. the Colts Jennings has missed
the last two games with a sprained MCL in his left knee.
Moore believes he is destined to be an impact player, but he doesn't know
when he'll get the chance. The Giants' second-year defensive end has played relatively
few snaps.
make plays, Coach Tom Coughlin said Thursday, waving his arms in the air,
allowing a smile to momentarily brighten his face. He was as animated as ever.
Oct 30 The Giants have no interest in engaging in a shootout with the Colts, who average 31 points a game, and Manning knows the best chance for success do not hinge on out-dueling Andrew Luck, at least not from a sheer production standpoint.
Jerry Reese would like to see a more explosive offense, but now is not the time for wholesale changes. To tell such a group of players after only seven games, "OK, forget all that stuff we've been preaching about taking care of the ball; we're going to start chucking it downfield" would be a rash overreaction to a disappointing two-game stretch.
Giants let Ahmad Bradshaw walk after the 2012 season because they couldn't
trust him to stay healthy and because they felt they had running back covered
with younger, cheaper options in Andre Brown and David Wilson.
29 At
least it beats 0-6. And at least they still have a chance. But what the Giants
have done through seven games is not good enough and they know it.
Mathias Kiwanuka was a teammate of Ahmad Bradshaw's for six seasons, and he often spoke about the running back's toughness and junkyard dog mentality. On Monday night, he'll be tasked with stopping it instead of admiring it. Which, he said, is fine with him.
As Andre Williams prepares for what likely will be his third start -- Rashad Jennings is making progress with a sprained MCL but does not seem to be a sure thing to play Monday night against the Colts -- he and the people around him are focusing on a word that was never in his football vocabulary until now. Patience.
Oct 28
think the Giants are taking enough shots downfield in their new offense? Well,
you have some high-profile company. Giants general manager Jerry Reese agrees

back Rashad Jennings is still far from being ready for Monday night vs. Colts.
The Giants need a healthy Jennings on the field. He was averaging 4.4 yards per
carry before the injury.
Beason's season is over. Of course, it never really began. The Giants' middle
linebacker will have season-ending surgery to repair an injury to his right foot
that first was suffered in the spring.
NFC East News
Oct 27 The Giants have their work cut out for them to make the playoffs this season. At 3-4 during their bye week, they're likely going to need to win seven of their final nine games to reach the postseason. That will be made even more difficult by their upcoming schedule. The Giants next four games are against Indianapolis, Seattle, San Francisco and Dallas.
Jason Pierre-Paul has just 3.5 sacks, a far cry from the 16.5 in 2011 that put him on the map, but the Giants have enjoyed a mature, disciplined JPP this year, a player making an impact on the field as well as off it. While the sack totals haven't come, consistency finally has.
As it's turned out, Eli's all right. Do you recall the hysteria this summer and at the start of the regular season regarding Eli Manning and Ben McAdoo's West Coast offense? The conventional belief was the Giants quarterback was about as good a fit with their new offensive coordinator's system as head coach Tom Coughlin at a toga party. Well, forget about all that.
East News
Oct 26 Eli Manning has reduced risk and picks, but Giants need to let him take more chances. This is a quarterback who used to do anything he could to make a play, including throwing more than a few lefthanded passes. It's also a quarterback whose two most important throws ever probably were ill-advised: one in which he blindly chucked it down the middle to David Tyree and one in which he threaded it away from coverage for Mario Manningham down the sideline.
The way it works these days, Giants quarterback Eli Manning gets to the line of scrimmage with 20 or so seconds on the play clock. He assesses the scene, reads the defense, yells a few worthless Omahas (remember, he invented that), goes though some gyrations and adjusts depending on the defense he's facing. More than ever, Eli looks like big brother Peyton before the football is snapped. The results more like Peyton's in the regular season than every before.
best and (absolute) worst of the Giants' season so far. The Giants were terrible
in Detroit and Philadelphia, scintillating in Washington, more good than bad against
the Texans and Falcons, and competitively ordinary against the Cardinals and in
Dallas. It adds up to a 3-4 record.
Oct 25 Going into every football season, there are always a few players who fly under the radar during OTAs and training camp, but later emerge as big contributors during the season. Mostly, due to a slew of injuries at key positions, the Giants have been forced to throw some untested players into the fire, and several have not only filled in ably, but exceeded expectations.
Jason Pierre-Paul didn't have his best game two weeks ago against the Philadelphia Eagles and star left tackle Jason Peters, but he rebounded well enough Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys and star left tackle Tyron Smith that Tom Coughlin singled him out in a team meeting Monday morning.
Injuries could force the Giants' defense to look a little bit different in the weeks that follow this week's bye. Injuries at cornerback could lead the Giants to bring back the three-safety look they used on their way to their most recent Super Bowl title three seasons ago.
Stadium News
24 Odell
Beckham Jr. has started making believers out of many. The Giants spent the
No. 12 overall pick on him, and despite hamstring woes that cost him the preseason
and the first four games, he quickly has blossomed into an impact player.
running back Andre Williams looked so natural running the football in the
preseason, averaging 5.1 yards per carry, and doing it with impressive speed and
power. For whatever reason, the success hasn't translsated to the regular season.
With starter Rashad Jennings (knee) sidelined, Williams has struggled running
the football, the one area the Giants thought he would prosper.
Oct 23 If you feel like the Giants have been running the ball a lot, you're not crazy. So far this season, the Giants are running the ball more than almost any other team in the NFL. The Giants run and run and run and run. They run when they're ahead in the game and they run when they're behind. They run whether it's working or not.
Stingy against the run all season, Jason Pierre-Paul got things going in the pass rush department last week against Dallas for one of his best performances in recent memory. Pierre-Paul had six solo tackles, two sacks, three tackles for losses and three quarterback hits.
Larry Donnell was on the team last year in a reserve role -- a special-teams player who was working to develop as an offensive asset at tight end. He was a basketball player early in life and a quarterback when he arrived at Grambling for college, so tight end was new to him and he had to learn it. He's still learning it.
After a $116 million offseason spending spree the Giants thought they had a pretty solid foundation. But maybe what they were really looking at was a longer rebuilding project, and they've been fooling themselves into thinking they were close to a Super Bowl all along.
Oct 22 Giants tight end Larry Donnell has had something of a breakout season so far, emerging as a solid red zone and third down target. But judging by his two fumbles on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, there are clearly still some areas that he needs to work on, according to his tight ends coach Kevin M. Gilbride. "[Ball security] is one of those things we preach on a daily basis."
After showing flashes as Rashad Jennings' backup in limited touches, Andre Williams has struggled as the primary ball carrier as Jennings recovers from a knee injury, running hard and packing a punch, but often failing to let his blocks materialize before finding a crease. Williams is averaging only 3.1 yards per carry over the past two weeks.
Introducing the new, much more careful Eli Manning. Eli Manning threw 27 interceptions last season, as you may have read in this space and a few others. So far this season, he has thrown five. Four of those came in the first two games. He's thrown only one interception in his last five games and none in his last three. This is not a coincidence.
Rookie Odell Beckham Jr. has caught six passes -- on 11 targets -- for 62 yards and two touchdowns in the past two games for the Giants. It's clear the Giants are excited about Beckham's ability and look forward to helping and seeing him develop so that they can find new and creative ways to use him in the offense.
Pierre-Paul has a message for anyone ready to give up on the Giants as they
head into a bye week off disappointing losses to the Eagles and Cowboys. It's
simple: Don't write off the Giants (3-4). Pierre-Paul believes the Giants can
win their final nine games if they stop making mistakes.
middle linebacker Jon Beason said that he hopes to play after the bye week
against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night, but that he will have to first
get clearance from his foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson and that surgery might
be his best long-term option. Beason called it 50-50 right now whether he returns
this year.
Oct 21 Tom Coughlin's message to the Giants: Get ready, we're going to make a run. The Giants (3-4) have their work cut out for them to make that happen. Their next four games are against Indianapolis, Seattle, San Francisco and Dallas. The defending champion Seahawks (3-3) have the worst record of the group. Winning in Seattle still remains one of the most difficult tasks in the NFL.
The view from the outside is that the New York Giants are basically what their 3-4 record says they are, an inconsistent team that might not be good enough to be a contender. Jason Pierre-Paul isn't buying it. He looks at the Giants, and sees a team ready to go on a roll.
The Giants have several issues to address before returning to the field. Their rushing attack totaled 190 yards in the last two games, their first without injured starting running back Rashad Jennings. Penalties continue to hold back the offense and Sunday, tight end Larry Donnell lost a crucial fourth-quarter fumble.
The Giants played a whole lot better than they did against the Eagles, but it still wasn't enough to win. Instead, the 31-21 loss, the second straight in the NFC East, sends them into the bye week still trying to figure out what's gone wrong, still trying to find answers they thought were emerging in the three straight wins before the Philly game.
The Giants trail white-hot Dallas (6-1) by three games in the division, but are only one game off the pace for a wild-card berth. Their erratic play, however, leaves it unclear if they are capable of a significant advance in the standings.
Larry Donnell won't fumble his wife's coaching advice. "I told my wife I'm just trying to figure out what happened, and she said, 'You know, it's simple. Just hold the ball like you're holding Z,' which is my daughter," Donnell said, referring to 4-year-old Zarri. "I thought, that's some pretty good advice."

East News
(3-3) vs Cowboys (5-1)
Oct 19 With Victor Cruz and Rashad Jennings out, giving Eli Manning more time is the Giants priority. If he's lost faith in his line, Manning won't say it. Nor should he, considering how good the line had been during the Giants' three-game win streak. . Remember how it manhandled J.J. Watt four weeks ago? Same line, same scheme. Just a much better game.
If the Giants can beat the Cowboys -- a difficult task considering they are without their best running back (Rashad Jennings) and best wide receiver (Victor Cruz) and their best cornerback (Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) might be limited in both his snaps and his performance -- they will head into their bye week still in the thick of the NFC East race.
Victor Cruz is out for the season, leaving five Giants wide receivers with wholly disparate backgrounds to fill the void. Preston Parker barely played football in 2012 and 2013. Asked what he was doing during that time, he said, "Begging for money." Rookie Corey Washington, attended a little-known college of about 1,000 students. He has yet to catch an NFL pass.
Oct 18 Tom
Coughlin has no use for trash talk, and even less use for 27-0 losses. So
it's probably no surprise the New York Giants coach made the connection with how
the Giants acted last week and how they played Sunday night in Philadelphia.
Cruz said he has "no doubt" he will return to the Giants in top
physical condition and vowed to remain an integral part of the current team despite
being sidelined for the season.
17 The
offensive line, a seeming strength up until Sunday, must prove itself all
over again. And the defense, gashed by Philly's LeSean McCoy for 149 rushing yards,
must now contend with the NFL's most productive running back, DeMarco Murray.
Rodgers-Cromartie missed practice for the second day in a row but is hopeful
of participating tomorrow and playing Sunday, when the Giants face the first-place
Cowboys in Dallas.
tackle Tyron Smith of the Dallas Cowboys just became the first offensive lineman
in 10 years to win an Offensive Player of the Week award. New York Giants defensive
end Jason Pierre-Paul is not among those who might be surprised by that.
16 Victor
Cruz spent about 30 minutes at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center Wednesday,
his first visit to the Giants' facility since tearing his right patellar tendon
and requiring season-ending surgery. He was released earlier in the day from the
Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan.
Giants are traveling to Dallas this weekend, and are preparing for more than
just the division-leading Cowboys. According to the Giants' Senior VP of communications,
Pat Hanlon, the team was briefed about the Ebola virus in preparation for Sunday's
game in Dallas,
After getting destroyed by Eagles, Giants need a fiery Eli Manning. Late on Sunday night, he made a point to say that the game should serve as a lesson for the Giants. And on Monday, he spoke about the team needing to "grow up" and "keep growing" now that Cruz is gone."They're powerful words," said linebacker Jameel McClain. "And you gotta take heed in everything that he says.

10.4: Improve IMAP folder support in Mail.app
Anyone know if this is similar to "phantom" drafts appearing in the system wide draft folder? I recently switched to IMAP and didn't observe the behavior before. Basically, if I compose and send a message from the IMAP account, the draft folder shows two copies, and then if I click send, it shows the draft folder having one in there (for up to a minute or so). If I click the "get mail" button, it dissapears...
10.4: Improve IMAP folder support in Mail.app
I think this happens because there are messages in the Drafts folder that are "marked for deletion" but haven't actually been removed yet. Mail doesn't display messages that are marked for deletion in the index, so it looks like the "unread" count and the message index don't match, when they actually do.
10.4: Improve IMAP folder support in Mail.app
Thanks. I figured it was just an unknown "feature" (bug)!

Question: I see women doing split squats all the time, but I rarely see men doing them. Are they strictly to develop the glutes, or do they work the quads and hamstrings too? What's your take on them?
Answer: In the PICP courses, we spend a considerable amount of time not only discussing the value of split squats but also having my students perform many variations of these exercises in the practical portions of these classes, as they are seldom performed properly. Because there is some confusion about terminology, before I go any further, recognize that the difference between a split squat and a lunge is that with the split squat, you use a stationary stance where you go up and down on the forward leg.
Performing single-limb exercises is important to help athletes achieve what I refer to as structural balance, which refers to muscles being in balance with other muscle groups. This definition extends not just to agonist/antagonist muscle pairs (such as the hamstrings and quadriceps) but also to pairs of limbs (such as the right leg and left leg). It's not enough just to have the appropriate strength ratio between the hamstrings and quadriceps; to achieve structural balance, the strength of the quadriceps and hamstrings on the right leg should be equal to the strength of those of the left.
Having structural imbalances between limbs is very common even among elite athletes., particularly if they come from a sport where an implement is held like in fencing, tennis, squash etc..And because imbalances increase the risk of injury to athletes, my initial workouts for new clients often include many unilateral exercises. For example, an athlete is at a greater risk of pulling a hamstring if the hamstrings on the right leg are stronger than those on the left. Further, I've found that beginning with a program of unilateral exercises for the legs often results in faster gains in the squat in the long term than if no unilateral exercises are performed.
Split squats (along with lunges) have been popular among women because they are promoted as being good for working the glutes. In the '90s, one popular women's program called Freestyle promoted split squats as one of the primary leg exercises for women. The program evolved into a book (which, I learned, sold close to 50,000 copies), a DVD and a certification course. The program even used special devices called "lunge poles," which were basically two poles that came together with a base to provide stability during the exercise. Besides ensuring proper performance of split squats, especially by those with ankle and knee stability issues, the poles made it easier to perform higher repetitions in these exercises because the arms could assist in the movement. Although one major health club chain had experimented with lunge pole classes, the idea didn't (sorry, can't resist) "stick." (Incidentally, I saw illustrations of lunge poles that were published in a physical culture book from 1897, so the 1990s version was not an original idea.) However, just as Freestyle and lunge poles are fading from the collective memory of the fitness community, along comes 3 Minute Legs™, which is a silly apparatus you straddle that gives you assistance to do split squats. Unbelievable.
In the weightlifting community, barbell split squats were heavily promoted by Angel Spassov when he lectured in the US in the late '80s. In the variation he favored, the back leg is elevated on a low platform (about four inches), a position that puts greater stress on the quadriceps because there is more weight on the front leg. Spassov believed split squats were great exercises for athletes, and apparently they were used for a time by junior weightlifters in his country to develop leg strength for the classical lifts. Recently, one functional-training guru has been promoting a back split squat for athletes, but the back foot is placed on a platform that is much higher than either Spassov or I recommend. The result is that this type of squat places the lower lumbar vertebrae in extreme hyperextension, which should provide chiropractors with many new clients.
Regarding your question about the muscle involvement, properly performed split squats should make you sore not only in the glutes but also in the hamstrings, quadriceps and adductors. I have seen many sprinters, jumpers and bobsledders add inches to their already well hypertrophied legs by supplementing their squatting programs with lunges or split squats.
I also like to use them if the athlete's lower back has not yet recovered from a squat or deadlift session. They provide plenty of leg training without overloading the spine In my opinion, in lower body dominated sports like soccer, and American football, they are the best prevention tools against groin pulls.
Regardless of the set/rep protocol you use with this exercise, always start with the weaker leg first to help correct muscle imbalances faster. And now, here is how to perform split squats properly:
Starting Position Setup
• Stand facing away from a barbell placed on a squat rack.
• Using your index fingers, set up a reference point on the bar (use the knurling to determine the width of the grip).
• Keep your index fingers as close as possible to the outside of the shoulders.
• Duck under the bar and place the bar on the thick area of the trapezius muscle.
• Keep your chin up slightly.
• Focus your eyes on the opposite wall at a point that's slightly higher than your eyes in order to maintain proper neck alignment.
• Keep your feet shoulder-width apart.
• Take a big step directly forward with your nondominant leg to reach the initial starting position.
• Move your front knee directly forward maximally before lowering your hips.
• Lower the hips, keeping your back as erect as possible and your chest up.
• Lower your body under control until your hamstrings come in contact with your calves.
• Make a conscious effort to keep your elbows under the bar throughout the movement. This will ensure that the load is kept as close as possible over the center of gravity.
• Make sure your knee travels forward and over your toes throughout the descent.
• Inhale through your mouth throughout the descent.
• First, raise the hips.
• Keep your torso as perpendicular to the floor as possible throughout the ascent, particularly at the sticking point.
• Exhale throughout the ascent.
• Keep your trunk as erect as possible throughout the movement.
Safety Concerns
• Keep the eccentric lowering under control.
• Do not lean forward.
• As heavy weights can be used and lateral stability is compromised, you should perform the exercise inside a power rack with the safety pins set at the appropriate height to catch the weight should you lose your balance. Of course, a spotter can also help you maintain control.
To change the resistance curve on this movement, you place the barbell on the clavicles using a front squat grip. You can also perform the exercise with dumbbells, or by holding a single-handle cable hooked to a low pulley using the contra-lateral hand.
Split squats are a versatile exercise that belongs in every athlete's, strength coach, and fitness trainer's exercise toolbox. And by the way, there are no female or male exercises.

Chrysler's plan for new cars and trucks
Wednesday - 1/30/2013, 12:43pm EST
By The Associated Press
(AP) - An Alfa Romeo sports car and a Jeep Grand Cherokee update are two of the splashier models Chrysler plans to roll out by 2015. The No. 3 U.S. automaker unveiled its list of upcoming cars and truck on Wednesday. Others include:
_ A new midsize crossover SUV will replace the aging Jeep Liberty. It will get a different look and a nine-speed automatic transmission to help boost gas mileage and performance.
_ An update of the Grand Cherokee that includes an optional diesel engine, more luxurious interior and new electronics systems. It also comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
_ Update of the Jeep Compass small SUV, including a new six-speed automatic transmission and refreshed designs inside and out. A version with a manual transmission will get up to 30 mpg on the highway.
_ Nine-speed automatic transmission for Dodge Dart compact, which came out last year. One of the current six-speed automatic transmissions felt too European for American tastes and hurt sales.
_ New Ram commercial van and an update of the Ram heavy-duty pickup.
_ The new Alfa Romeo 4C will go on sale later in the year. It's a two-door, two-seater. Chrysler is owned by Italy's Fiat SpA.
_ Longer four-door version of the Fiat 500 mini car.
_ New version of the Chrysler 200 midsize sedan based on underpinnings developed with Fiat. The 200 was featured in the popular 2011 Eminem Super Bowl ad that launched the tagline "Imported from Detroit."
_ Update of unspecified Chrysler vehicle.
_ Unspecified new Jeep and Ram vehicles.
_ Updates of two Dodge vehicles, no details.
_ Three new Chrysler vehicles, including an all-new minivan. Chrysler invented the minivan in 1983 under Lee Iacocca.
_ Four new Alfa Romeo vehicles, no details.
_ As many as six new Fiat vehicles. No details given.
_ Two new Jeeps, no details.
_ One new, one updated Dodge vehicle. No details given.
_ An updated Ram vehicle, no details.

In most 2013 fantasy leagues, the top two picks were a virtual certainty - Adrian Peterson as the first overall pick, with Doug Martin as a fine consolation prize for the owner picking second. After all, Martin was coming off a fine rookie season in which he took a massive workload (368 touches) and capitalized on his opportunities, rushing for 1,454 yards, receiving for 472, and scoring 12 total touchdowns. With an offensive line that projected as being one of the best in the league, as well as a full season of NFL football under his belt, Martin was expected to be a monster in his sophomore campaign.
Thanks in large part to a Buccaneers offense that is quite one-dimensional, Martin's season of high expectations got off to a rocky start. Through six games, Martin has topped 67 rushing yards just two times, and has one hundred-yard game to his name. Of course, much of Martin's struggles have been due to a lack of carries that comes as a result of playing for a team that is constantly behind in games. Martin has averaged more than 4.2 yards per carry in four games, but has toted the ball 20 times or less in three of those contests.
Regardless of why Martin has been a letdown in 2013, his season just got a whole lot more disappointing. Martin has been diagnosed with a torn labrum and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
Martin finishes a season that could be considered the epitome of a "sophomore slump" with just 456 rushing yards (3.6 YPC) and one touchdown. Despite the preseason hype of him being used as a dynamic every-down back, Martin caught just 12 passes for 66 yards.
Martin should be fine by training camp and a hundred percent for the start of the 2014 season, and assuming the Buccaneers can improve their quarterback situation, Martin should be a great bounce back candidate.
As for the Buccaneers' backfield, sixth-round rookie Mike James will step in as the lead back and should be added in all fantasy leagues.
