In June, we held a Tattoo contest on Facebook. We reached out to the members of our community and asked them to share their Spinning® related tattoos with us. We wanted to reward our dedicated community with the recognition they deserve for the prominent display of their enthusiasm and commitment. We were extremely pleased with the incredible response to this contest, and one of the entrants had such a moving story that we were compelled to share it with all of you.
Jenifer Walsh, a Certified Spinning® Instructor from Cheshire CT was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. As it is defined, MS is "a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another." Diagnosed in 1998, Jenifer was already a member of a gym that was just starting to introduce Spinning® classes to their schedule. With some trepidation, she took her first class. For the first time in a long time, Jenifer was the athlete she once was. Although challenged sometimes to even walk, Jenifer was a natural on the spin bike, and she felt confident, strong, and free.
After watching Jenifer embrace her Spinning classes and motivate her fellow students, her instructor encouraged Jenifer to think about becoming certified. Because Jenifer's MS affects the right side of her body, she walks with a limp. With her head held high, Jenifer went to orientation, got certified, and began her career as an instructor. She overcame her initial fear and focused on her personal goal. Jenifer has found amazing strength and support from her students, and is back on track in the exercise community. Although she is not as comfortable participating in other exercise venues- like running and swimming for example, she is a superstar when she clicks into the pedals of her Spinner® bike.
We did and interview with Jenifer and here is some of what she has to say.
"Spinning®: Has your life with MS changed since you've been taking Spinning® classes?
Jenifer: Multiple Sclerosis has its struggles, and I DO struggle everyday from the time I put my feet on the floor to walk. Outside the Spinning room you will see me walking with a cane to get around, but once I get up on that bike I become a different person! Spinning has made me stronger, it's made me more confident in myself and when I'm teaching a class!
S: Sounds like mentally and emotionally it keeps you strong?
J: Yes, definitely. I'm not the type of person to sit in a corner and feel sorry for myself. I have a husband and two children at home that I stay strong for also! Spinning keeps me mentally and physically strong, I want to stay as active as I possibly can.
S: Would you recommend Spinning classes to others with MS?
Definitely, MS is so different for everybody, that's why they call it 'multiple'. There are so many different facets of the disease that you can have. Some people are affected cognitively, visually, or even physically. You could just walk by someone and never even know they have MS because they're not physically showing it. I have issues with my balance, and because Spinning is on a stationary bike I don't need to use my balance like I would if I were riding on the road. Spinning is just so powerful, rewarding and motivating to me, and I feel so energized from it!
S: How long have you been an instructor?
J: Since 2008.
S: How long before that were you taking classes?
I started taking classes when an instructor at my old gym encouraged me to give it a try, maybe it was a year or two before I actually got certified. She just noticed that I would always be taking classes and how much I loved it.
Once I got my certification, all the instructors at the gym would let me teach with them. I would just put an extra bike up next to them and they would do half the class or every other song until I got the groove of instructing on my own.
S: How long have you had the Spinning and HOPE tattoo?
J: The Spinning logo tattoo came first (3 yrs ago) Last year I wanted to do something a little different. I thought about using the MS Logo with a slash through the letters ~ then, I thought to myself that it's all about my HOPE for a cure! The color 'orange' is the color that the National MS Society uses for MS. The tattoo artist said he could incorporate it so it looked like the word HOPE was under the Spinning logo. He did a great job! The word HOPE is everywhere in my world and in my home, it's just a big word for me.
S: Any advice you could give to others with MS, or any other disease or overcoming obstacles?
J: I encourage anyone that is interested in becoming certified to definitely go out there and push for your dreams. I'm a very big on motivation, just with playing on words. I try to plug my classes and I always put motivational things out there. Everybody's got something, whether it's just a little issue in your family or whether you have something that there's no cure for ~ EVERYBODY'S GOT SOMETHING! I just try to stay positive; I think that's what comes out of me the most when I'm on the bike. 'I MAY HAVE MS, BUT I'M STILL IN THE GAME OF LIFE'
Today there is no cure for MS. But I wake up every morning dedicated and committed to finding a cure for this disease; a disease can never take away my will, my drive, or my passion. I go for an infusion treatment once a month which helps to slow the progress of my disease, but my daily medicine is spinning. My students response to me, the friendships I have with my fellow instructors, the way I feel as I motivate my classes….these are things that define me as an athlete and provide me with my daily remedy."
Jenifer is a true inspiration to anyone that meets her. Her enthusiasm is contagious and her work ethic is motivational. You can't help but raise your own personal work out goals when you are in her presence. She has been an inspiration here at Headquarters! She proves that the Spinning® Program really is for everyone. Anyone can take Spinning classes. As long as you possess the passion to try your hardest, and love to work out in an energetic environment, you can join a class. Let Jenifer's personal story inspire you to find your own passion on the bike. We thank Jenifer for all she stands for and all that she does for the Spinning Program. We hope that you can find the same passion on the bike that Jenifer does! We thank Jenifer so much for sharing her story with us!

We've had more U.S.S. Independences than you can shake a stick at over the centuries, but this one is the one we had during the bulk of WWII. She came straight out of Joisey in '42 and survived The Pacific War only to get blowed up with atomic bombs during testing at South Pacific locales like Bikini Atoll in 1946.
Then after, after the big atomic kaboom at Bikini. Ouch:
Anyway, instead of sinking, the Independence kept on floating so the Navy towed her right to Hunters Point in south San Francisco. Now, let's let Lisa Davis(?) of SF Weekly take over – here's her bit from all the way back in aught-one.
So there you go. Most likely, this old-school baby aircraft carrier is down there resting with a cargo of nuclear waste not too far from our Farallon Islands, radiating away.
Oh well.

Napier's health will be key for UConn vs. Rutgers
Just a couple of months before UConn won its first national title in 1999, Jim Calhoun took his Huskies to Stanford. They played the game without Richard Hamilton, who was suffering from a thigh bruise. While Hamilton watched, an ill and dehydrated Kevin Freeman fought his way through a big victory by getting intravenous fluids on the bench during the game.

STEUBENVILLE - The new Texas Roadhouse being built at the Fort Steuben Mall will be ready for occupancy in May 2013.
Travis Doster, spokesman for the company, said Thursday the actual opening date is slated for May 27. Previously, a corporate consultant had erroneously pegged the opening date as May 2014.
Doster, though, said the construction work should be done, "probably at the end of February or first of March."

NEW TIME FRAME — In this October photo, construction crews had begun moving dirt at the site of what eventually will be a Texas Roadhouse in Steubenville. The 250-seat restaurant, being constructed at the Fort Steuben Mall, is now slated to open in May 2013. -- Linda Harris
"Ohio is actually our second biggest state as far as locations," he said, adding that Steubenville was chosen "just because of the traffic patterns, it's a high-traffic area."
"We kind of feel the city matches up well with our demographics," he said. "We just think it's under-served for our kind of food."
The restaurant will be located between Aspen Dental and Eat'n Park.
Doster said it will measure just under 7,000 square feet, which is typical, and will only serve dinner on weekdays. On weekends, however, the restaurant will open for lunch.
He said the Steubenville location will employ about 170 people, about 40 percent of them full time.
The hiring process "usually starts about a month before we open," he said.

I would like to know what's the meaning and in which situations would one use the expression "Enter [somebody]", like "we were trying to find a solution. Enter John".
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
That's from stage directions for plays. "Enter [Name]" and "Exit [Name]" are commonly used to indicate when a player is entering or leaving the scene.
Naturally, it's been incorporated into the language to achieve a dramatic effect, and has come to be used when the speaker or writer wants to achieve a bold announcement, especially in titles. Cf. Enter the Dragon, etc.
In the example you gave, the phrase Enter John, is another way of saying "this is where John comes in (to the story)." It also implies that John was the solution to the problem, or that he figured out the solution. So Enter [somebody] (stage direction shorthand as mentioned) is often used in conversation to indicate coincidental, surprising, or opportune timing.

According to officials at the Weirton Fire Department, a woman called at 6:23 a.m. stating her apartment was on fire. She and other residents home at the time escaped without injury. Crews from the Steubenville and Hanover Township fire departments also responded to the scene, and the flames were under control by 6:52 a.m. According to Lt. Drew Coates, the structure was rendered unlivable, and the Red Cross was advised to contact the residents regarding housing. -- Shae Dalrymple

Linda Morten has cooking down to an art and she's turned her love of cooking into cash.
"I was very fortunate to stay home and raise my kids," says Linda Morten.
Since she was a stay at home mother, besides being there for her children, she still wanted to find a job, but not just any job.
Morten says, "I had a lot of time at the house to figure out a way to make money and cooking was it...cooking contests."
Once she went to work in the kitchen there was no stopping her because the sweet taste of success would eventually find its way into her life.
Morten recalls, "My very first was with a little bitty magazine and the contest was for cookies and I won $35.00 and that was the beginning. The most money I've ever won was the Cattlewomen's Association National Beef Cook-Off and it's all about beef and Texas is all about beef and that was a big $50,000 prize."
Whether she's focusing on beef, creating casseroles or experimenting with exotic dishes, Linda's source of inspiration has always been her family and the desire to win.
Morten says, "Being hungry. Staying hungry makes you prepare really neat things. When you stay hungry, your saliva and your taste buds in your mouth just start going."
That's just one tip Linda passes along and unlike many other chefs, she doesn't mind sharing her recipes or dishing out advice.
"What's the secret to a great crust on your chicken fried steak? Buttermilk…buttermilk," advises Morten.
Whether she's winning contests or cooking for her loved ones, Linda's love of food and family will continue to fuel this country cooker's creative juices and the best part is that she gets to work from home.
"The serenity of being in your own home. You like to entertain, make people happy, cooking good things, the wow factor...wow," says Morten.
Linda definitely has a zest for cooking and she says anybody can do it all you need is the desire to want to cook. Some more good advice from Linda is you don't have to go out and buy expensive gadgets. She uses ordinary cooking utensils and says they work just fine.
If you want to sample the world of competitive cooking just like Linda's done, she suggests you go online to Cooking Contest Central all you have to do is click on the provided link. Once Online, there you'll find a list of dozens and dozens of cooking contests and who knows, you could become a big winner, just like Linda.

I just wonder myself by asking a couple of questions in Stack Overflow that: what are the other options of asking questions and problems if there isn't Stack Overflow for you?
Are there any alternative websites or forums? A newsgroup or a IRC chatroom? I would like to know if there's anything that is close to the functionality or usefulness of Stack Overflow.

I have recently been researching NoSql options. My scenario is as follows:
We collect and store data from custom hardware at remote locations around the world. We record data from every site every 15 minutes. We would eventually like to move to every 1 minute. Each record has between 20 and 200 measurements. Once set up the hardware records and reports the same measurements every time.
The biggest issue we are facing is that we get a different set of measurements from every project. We measure about 50-100 different measurement types, however any project can have any number of each type of measurement. There is no preset set of columns that can accommodate the data. Because of this we create and build each projects data table with the exact columns it needs as we set up and configure the project on the system.
We provide tools to help analyze the data. This typically includes more calculations and data aggregation, some of which we also store.
We are currently using a mysql database with a table for each client. There are no relations between tables.
NoSql seems promising because we could store a project_id, timestamp then the rest would not be preset. This means one table, more relationships in the data, yet still handling the variety of measurements.
Is a 'NoSql' solution right for this job? If so which ones?
I have been investigation MongoDB and it seems promising...
Example for Clarification:
Project 1 has 5 data points recorded, the mysql table columns look like: timestamp, temp, wind speed, precipitation, irradiance, wind direction
Project 2 has 3 data points recorded mysql table columns: timestamp, temp, irradiance, temp2

Indiscretion (Hardcover)
February 2013 Indie Next List
"Beautiful Maddy and her successful author husband Harry have an idyllic marriage. Living in the Hamptons, perfectly suited to one another, and always surrounded by a close circle of friends, they draw admirers like moths to a flame. Enter Claire, a young New Yorker, who quickly becomes enamored of the couple and inserts herself within their circle. While young and innocent, Claire's presence will ultimately destroy everything Maddy and Harry hold dear. Narrated by Maddy's childhood best friend, Walter, who is also secretly in love with her, this tale is mesmerizing in its telling."
— Meaghan Beasley, Island Bookstore, Duck, NC
"Every story has a narrator. Someone who writes it down after it's all over. Why am I the narrator of this story? I am because it is the story of my life—and of the people I love most. . . ."
Harry and Madeleine Winslow have been blessed with talent, money, and charm. Harry is a National Book Award–winning author on the cusp of greatness. Madeleine is a woman of sublime beauty and grace whose elemental goodness and serenity belie a privileged upbringing. Bonded by deep devotion, they share a love that is both envied and admired. The Winslows play host to a coterie of close friends and acolytes eager to bask in their golden radiance, whether they are in their bucolic East Hampton cottage, abroad in Rome thanks to Harry's writing grant, or in their comfortable Manhattan brownstone.
One weekend at the start of the summer season, Harry and Maddy, who are in their early forties, meet Claire and cannot help but be enchanted by her winsome youth, quiet intelligence, and disarming naivete. Drawn by the Winslows' inscrutable magnetism, Claire eagerly falls into their welcoming orbit. But over the course of the summer, her reverence transforms into a dangerous desire. By Labor Day, it is no longer enough to remain one of their hangers-on.
A story of love, lust, deception, and betrayal as seen through the omniscient eyes of Maddy's childhood friend Walter, a narrator akin to Nick Carraway in The Great Gatsby, Indiscretion is a juicy, richly textured novel filled with fascinating, true-to-life characters—an irresistibly sensual page-turner that explores having it all and the consequences of wanting more.
Indiscretion also marks the debut of a remarkably gifted writer and storyteller whose unique voice bears all the hallmarks of an exciting new literary talent.

The Combo Pack of three Space Bags includes: one Medium (18" x 22-1/2"), one Large (22" x 34") and one X-Large (26-1/2" x 39-1/2").
A couple of important guidelines should be observed when storing items in our Space Bags. Fiber-filled items such as pillows and comforters should be removed from the bag about twice a year and fluffed to preserve their loft. We do not recommend our Space Bags for storage of down-filled items. The vacuum created in the Space Bag can break the feathers ruining the resiliency and loft of the item.

LOUISVILLE, Miss. -- A tornado took in a matter of minutes not only 22,000 birds and thousands of dollars in farming equipment from Brenda Goodin on April 28 but much of the love and labor her family has put into the Winston County farm that's operated for decades.
Nothing prepared Goodin for the devastation. Her mother, Marie Myers, said she never could recall even a strong breeze on the Indian Springs farm in all the years before last month's storms.
Goodin and other poultry growers are looking for help and a way forward after the storms claimed more than 1 million birds statewide, according to the Mississippi Board of Animal Health. The state Poultry Association says 18 poultry farms and 78 chicken houses were destroyed or heavily damaged.
"I've lost my livelihood," says Tim Hobby, a Louisville poultry grower. "It's stopped my operation. I lost 10 chicken houses, farming equipment."
He estimates he lost about one quarter of his 234,000 chickens. The rest have been relocated to other poultry farms in the state, never to return, as switching farms can significantly disrupt production cycles.
Poultry, from production facilities operated by industry heavyweights like Tyson Foods and Sanderson Farms to farms like Hobby's that dot the state's rural landscape, is a billion-dollar industry in Mississippi.
As devastating as the storms were to poultry growers and the companies they supply, the lost birds likely won't have a significant long-term impact, given that some 800 million chickens are processed in the state per year, Poultry Association President Mark Leggett says. More problematic will be operations like those operated by Goodin and Hobby being restored to normal operating conditions.
Hobby says he has $3 million in insured losses. Goodin says most of her poultry houses and equipment are insured, but not all. Some of that equipment, she said, was passed down through the family from her grandparents.
Groups like the Farm Service Agency and the U.S. Small Business Administration are visiting the hardest-hit areas in Mississippi to let growers know about loans and other programs that can help them rebuild their ventures.
"We still don't have a lot of answers, still a lot of questions," Hobby said.
Poultry producers are feeling the effects, too. Tyson Foods spokesman Gary Mickelson says eight Mississippi farms that supply chickens to the company were destroyed or heavily damaged.
The million dead birds likely won't affect supply enough to raise chicken prices, since it's a fairly small percentage of the state's processed-chicken crop, says Tom Tabler, a poultry specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service.
It could take years for Hobby and Goodin to restart what it took them years to build before one day's severe weather took it away. But both say the fact their families and friends survived provides perspective and hope.
"We're going to come back," Goodin said.
Hobby added: "God left us here another day to pick up and rebuild. I'm going forward."
