The invention relates to water filters and more particularly to a portable disposable fresh water filter for purifying tap water.
It is well known that in many localities the degree of purity of the tap water is far from the degree that is satisfactory for human consumption.
Inventors have in the past sought ways to provide suitable methods of improving the purity of fresh water.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,025,438 shows a filter cartridge with several layers of different filtering media, for insertion into a suitable tap-connected filter housing.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,016,080 shows a filter cartridge with multiple layers of filter media disposed inside the filter cartridge at an angle in order to improve fluid flow through the filter.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,900,395 shows a filtering apparatus having layers of anthracite coal and black walnut shells as filter media.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,469,696 shows a cartridge-type water filter especially suited for removing scale and other impurities from water.
U.S. Pat. No. 651,948 shows a portable, funnel-shaped filter containing replaceable layers of granulated filter media for filtering small amounts of drinking water.
All of the inventions disclosed in the prior art suffer from the drawback that they are cumbersome to use for individuals who only desire to filter small amounts of drinking water and wish not to be tied to a fixed filter installation or having to be bothered by preparing elaborate filter media or mixtures thereof. Applicant has overcome this problem by providing a portable disposable filter that is convenient in use and may be used in any locality, and is sufficiently inexpensive that it may be discarded when the filter medium has been spent. It is not necessary to carry bottles from the store, and the filter is extremely inexpensive.
The portable disposable filter according to the invention consists essentially of a filter part cnsisting of two layers of a porous containing material or fabric which contains confined between the two layers, a measured, small amount of filter medium.
The containing material may be any water resistant woven fabric such as cheesecloth, or a fibrous material such as waterproof paper or suitably woven or matted synthetic fiber, which, by itself may provide part of the filtering process. The filter medium may advantageously be granular, activated charcoal which is a well known highly effective filter medium, but the scope of the invention shall not be confined to any particular type of filter medium, since it is capable of working with any suitable granulated filter medium.
In one of its more preferred embodiments the portable filter, according to the instant invention, consists of a section of hose, made of containing fabric, which is closed at one end, into which is poured a measured small amount of filter medium, such as a teaspoon or less. The hose immediately above the filter medium is constricted by means of a suitable drawstring, rubber band or the like so that a small pouch enclosing the filter medium is formed. The remaining hose section is next folded inside-out forming an upward projecting skirt encircling the pouch filled with filter medium, which can next conveniently be lowered into a wide-mouth water jar or container with a threaded neck, which fits under a standard faucet, with the skirt folded over the upper edge of the neck of the mouth, so that unfiltered water can be poured into the jar where it is filtered as it percolates through the filter medium, and is collected and stored as filtered water in the jar. The water is filtered again when it is poured out.
In another embodiment, the water container may have a screw-on or press-on lid that can be screwed over the top of the jar's neck and hold in place the folded-over skirt of the filter. The lid may advantageously have an opening for pouring water into the jar, and the opening may have a snap-on cap and/or may be adapted to receive the end of a water hose for filling the jar, or a pouring spout.
In still another embodiment, the screw-on lid may have a folding handle which in an extended position is helpful in tightly screwing the lid onto the neck of the jar and for holding the filter. In still another embodiment the screw-on lid may have an opening adapted to receive a pouring spout.
In still another embodiment the portable filter part may be constructed of two coordinated circular pieces of containing fabric which are joined at the edges and contain filter medium in the space between the two pieces.
In still another embodiment with the two pieces of coordinated containing fabric, the upper piece may be porous, while the lower piece is impermeable except for a small center opening or grid so that the lower piece acts as a funnel, for urging the filtered water percolating through the filter medium, toward the middle of the filter, from where it pours into the jar. In still another embodiment, the lower coordinated piece may be formed of rather rigid aluminum foil that can be shaped into a cone, bowl or hemisphere with small holes or a grid in the bottom that contains the filter medium granules but lets water pass through. In still another embodiment, the bottom piece of aluminum may have radially projecting handle parts, so that the filter can be placed over the mouth of the jar without falling into the jar. The projecting parts may have a hole or eyelet for hanging the filter part when not in use.
Other objects of this invention will appear from the following description and appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts in the several views.

FIG. 14 is a topdown view of the embodiment according to FIG. 13, with part of the top piece broken away to show the granular filter medium.
Before explaining the disclosed embodiments of the present invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of the particular arrangements shown, since the invention is capable of other embodiments. Also, the terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation.
FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 5 show a water jar or any other suitable water container for holding water, having a neck 14 with a wide mouth 16 closed by a screw lid 11, attached by screw threads 23 to the outside threaded neck 14. The lid has an opening 17 for pouring water with a matching cap 12 for closing the opening 17. The cap 12 may have a flexible strap 18 for attaching the cap 17 to the top of the lid 11.
A filter unit 20 consists essentially of a containing fabric forming a hose closed at one end which holds a measured small amount of granulated filter medium 21. The filter medium 21 may advantageously be granular activated charcoal which is well known to be an effective filter medium. The filter medium, however, shall not be confined to granular charcoal alone since other filter media or compositions thereof are known. The closed end of the hose containing the filter medium is constricted by a drawstring, strap or rubber ring 24 so that a pouch 26 containing the filter medium 21 is formed. The hose may even be twisted to form the constriction. As seen in FIG. 4 the pouch 26 has been formed of the close-ended hose consisting of the containing fabric 22. By pulling tight the drawstring 24, and turning the open ended part of the hose inside-out as seen in FIG. 3 the open end of the hose forms a skirt 22 that can be folded over the edge of the neck 14 and the screw lid 11 can be screwed onto the neck 14 with the folded part of the skirt 22 pinched between the threaded outside of the neck 14 and the inside of the screw lid 11, thereby holding the filter unit 20 suspended by the skirt 22 in the mouth 16 of the jar 10.
In operation, unfiltered water may be poured through the opening 17, e.g. via the hose 13 from where it percolates through the filter medium 21 and drops into the jar 10 as filtered water. After some use, the filter medium will be saturated with accumulated impurities from the water and the whole filter unit 20 may be discarded and replaced with a new unit. When not in use, the opening 17 in the lid 11 may be closed with a snap-on cap 12. FIG. 6 shows in an exploded view the screw lid 11 with the opening 17 before it is screwed onto the neck 14, where it holds a filter unit 30 of a somewhat different construction than the construction 20, described hereinabove. In the embodiment 30 according to FIG. 6, the filter unit 30 consists of a circular piece of containing fabric 22 and 26 containing granulated filter medium 21. Another separate piece of containing fabric 27, cut as a coordinated substantially circular piece of fabric 27 is attached, at the edges 27a, to the inside of the skirt 22 by sewing, adhesive, cementing or any other suitable process, so that the filter medium 21 is contained between the two layers of fabric 26 and 27.
The fabric 26 and 27 may be a coarse woven fabric such as gauze, cheese cloth, or a felted fibrous material or water-fast paper, such as is well known filter paper and the like.
In one very advantageous embodiment the layers 26 and 27 may by themselves have filtration characteristics that further augment the filter medium 21.
In another embodiment, according to FIG. 6, the outer containing fabric 26 with the skirt 22 may be a material with little or no water permeability and may instead have a plurality of fine openings at the bottom center for passing the filtered water, and small enough for containing the granules of the filter medium 21. Such an arrangement has the advantage that the waterflow through the filter unit 30 is urged toward the middle of the bottom layer which provides a good, more penetrating water flow since water to be filtered cannot simply traverse the peripheral part of the filter unit.
FIG. 7 shows filtered water 25 being poured into a drinking glass C, while it traverses the filter medium 21 a second time for additional purification.
FIGS. 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 show an embodiment of the filter in which a lid 40 is a snap on lid that can be snapped or pressed onto the neck 14 of the jar to be retained by a circular ridge 42 on the outside of the neck 14. This embodiment advantageously has a fold-out handle 43 pivotably attached at pivot points 44 to a first ring 45 that fits tightly inside the rim 41a of the lid 41. The first ring 45 with the handle 43 pivotably attached may serve to hold the filter skirt pinched between the outside of the ring 45 and the inside of the rim of the lid 41.
In a somewhat different embodiment, a second ring 46 may be used to hold the skirt 22 pinched to the inside of the first ring 45. This arrangement has the advantage that the filter unit 20, 30 may be carried by the handle 43 and held over a container such as the jar 10 or another container for temporarily collecting filtered water. The folding handle 43 may be retracted as seen in FIG. 11, in which position it is folded over the lid 41.
Still another embodiment of the invention for use with a container is seen in FIGS. 13 and 14, which show a filter unit 50 having an outer layer of a relatively stiff metal foil, shaped as a shallow hemispheric bowl 55 containing granular filter medium 21 and having a number of small holes 56 punched in the bottom, so that filtered water can pass through the holes but not the filter granules 21. An upper layer 51 of containing fabric encloses the filter medium from the upper side and is advantageously attached at its edges 56 to the inner wall of the bowl 55 by bonding, stapling or any other suitable method. The bowl 55 may have two extensions 53 that can serve as handles and can also be used as retainers so that the filter unit 50 can be placed over a drinking glass 51 for producing a small amount of filtered water. A hole 54 in one or both handles 53 may serve to hang the filter unit on a hook when not in use.
The entire filter unit 50 may be constructed inexpensively and may advantageously be discarded and replaced when the filter medium 21 is spent.
In operation it has been found that an amount of 1/2 ounce of granulated activated charcoal in a filter according to the invention, can be used to make approximately 100 gallons of purified water, before it must be replaced.

Sources: Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority
Benazir Bhutto International Airport (Urdu: بینظیر بھٹو بین الاقوامی ہوائی اڈا, IATA: ISB, ICAO: OPRN) is the third-largest airport in Pakistan, serving the capital Islamabad and its twin city Rawalpindi in the province of Punjab. Previously known as the Islamabad International Airport, it was renamed after the late Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto by the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, Yusuf Raza Gillani on 21 June 2008.[2]
The airport is actually located outside Islamabad, in the area of Chaklala, Rawalpindi. Being the main airport for the Pakistani capital it often hosts officials and citizens from other nations. The airfield is shared with the transport and liaison squadrons of the Pakistan Air Force, which refers to it as PAF Base Nur Khan.
In the fiscal year 2008–2009, over 3,136,664 passengers used Benazir Bhutto International Airport and 34,025 aircraft movements were registered.[3] The airport serves as a hub for the flag carrier, Pakistan International Airlines. It is also the hub of Shaheen Air International and a focus city of airblue.
The government recently launched a Rs. 399 million project to renovate and expand the airport including the 1700 X 75 feet taxi way link adjacent to the lone runway of the airport.[4] The renovation was completed by March, 2015.[5]
Due to the ever-growing need for better facilities and services available for passengers, The Government of Pakistan is constructing a new airport in Islamabad. The new green field facility will be the biggest in Pakistan. The new location of the Islamabad International Airport has been selected at Fateh Jang, 30 km southwest of Islamabad city centre (Blue Area), as measured from Zero Point. The construction of the new airport is underway and completion is estimated to be in July 2017.[6]
Benazir Bhutto International Airport is a civil and military airport which handles VIPs as well as public scheduled operations for many airlines. Foreign diplomats, high level government officials, as well as military officials are welcomed at this airport.
The Rawal Lounge has been designated for use of these high profile personalities.[7]
There are separate lounges for international and domestic economy passengers. The domestic and international lounges have been provided with facilities that include wifi Internet, snack bars/light refreshments, satellite plasma TVs, telephone and fax facilities, and a global selection of newspapers/magazines.
There are also lounges for transit passengers who may be travelling further internationally or domestically and they also have designated prayer areas. The CIP lounge can be used by first and business class passengers travelling on international or domestic flights. Passengers have to be issued an airline card from the check-in staff.
Currently, the airport is able to handle eleven wide body aircraft at one time, with additional five parking places for general aviation aircraft. It does not have the capacity for take off and landing of such aircraft as Airbus A380 or Boeing 747-8.
At the moment, the airport does not have any air bridges installed, so buses take the passengers from the airport terminal to the aircraft where air stairs are used.
The airport has a wide variety of duty-free shops, restaurants, wifi Internet services and souvenir arts and crafts shops. There are numerous television monitors and mobile connecting points in the terminal to allow passengers to check flight times and recharge their phones.
There are a string of financial exchange counters and commercial banks such as National Bank of Pakistan, Habib Bank Ltd and MCB Bank Ltd. MCB, Barclays, Citibank and Habib Bank have also launched ATMs that are linked to various global networks.
To meet safety and health issues, the airport has also opened "Smoke Zones" within the lounge facilities for those who smoke.
Due to the commitment of the government to upgrade the current security infrastructure of the airports across Pakistan, new state of the art luggage scanning machines were introduced. These machines provide high performance, and have a very low cost when it comes to maintenance, thus integrating a highly effective and practical security solution for the airport.
Airlines and destinations[edit]
*Notes: 1: Air China's flight from Islamabad to Beijing continues on to Karachi. However, Air China does not have eighth freedom rights to carry passengers solely from Islamabad to Karachi.

Accidents and incidents[edit]
- On 1 August 1948, an Onzeair Avro 691 Lancastrian XPP crash landed at the airport, due to poor adjustment by the foreign pilot and insecure cargo loads in the cabin causing the weight to alter causing the aircraft to become unbalanced. The aircraft was written off.
- On 18 May 1959, a PIA Vickers 815 Viscount skidded off the runway causing the aircraft to stop in a monsoon ditch. The aircraft suffered substantial damage; no crew or passengers were harmed in the accident.
- On 4 February 1986, a Pakistan International Airlines Boeing 747-200 Combi performed a belly landing at the airport. Apparently the crew had failed to release the landing gear on final approach. No passengers or crew were hurt and the aircraft received minor damage.
- On 15 February 2002, Erik Audé was arrested at Benazir Bhutto International Airport (then named Islamabad International Airport) for opium possession.
- During October 2005, Islamabad handled additional aircraft that provided aid for the affected people of Kashmir after the 2005 Kashmir earthquake. The largest of these aircraft was the An-225 Mriya. Virgin Atlantic Airways operated a special relief flight to Islamabad using a Boeing 747 with 55 tonnes of aid.[11]
- On 28 July 2010, Airblue Flight 202, a domestic flight from Karachi operated by Airbus A321 AP-BJB, crashed into the Margalla Hills in Islamabad while trying to land at the airport. The aircraft crashed into mountainous and wooded terrain near the city, killing all 152 people on board.
- From 8 to 11 February 2011, there was a workers' strike at the airport against the selling of destinations to Turkish Airlines and the sacking of six Pakistan International Airlines pilots. This led to the resignation of the managing director of PIA Capt.Aijaz Haroon and caused the cancelling of many flights.
- On 20 April 2012, a Boeing 737-200 (AP-BKC), Bhoja Air Flight 213 carrying 127 people on a flight from Karachi's Jinnah International Airport destined for Islamabad's Benazir Bhutto International Airport crashed near Chaklala killing all 127 people on board. Pakistani Defence Ministry officials believe that the plane crashed into a remote residential area. There were also bad weather conditions, with lightning and rain pouring at the time of landing. Eye-witness reports say that the aircraft was already on fire on its landing approach before it crashed. Initial reports suggest that as the pilots of Bhoja Air Flight B4-213 attempted to land amidst rain and strong winds, the ill-fated aircraft might have flown into an unexpected wind shear that possibly smashed it on the ground below. The aircraft had been retired by Shaheen Air and then acquired and placed in service by Bhoja Air in March 2012.

On the last day before the summer recess, buried in a deluge of government announcements, today Jeremy Hunt has snuck out an announcement that the NHS bursary will be scrapped for students seeking to begin study in 2017/18. This is a complete disgrace and shows that the cynical and underhand tactics used under the last Prime Minister will continue under Theresa May.
With all of this uncertainty, it is absolutely vital that employers in the health service at least have a guarantee that their EU trained staff will be protected. Without this guarantee, they cannot be expected to guarantee safe staffing levels.
I'd like to take this opportunity to reassure our supporters and campaigners, and indeed everyone affected by mental illness, that we will do everything we can to ensure mental health remains a priority for the Government, regardless of how dominant the question of our future relationship with Europe, to coin the phrase, remains.
Community pharmacy is a part of the health service that bucks the inverse care law - there are more pharmacies per head of population in deprived areas than in more affluent areas. I speak for community pharmacists all over the nation when I implore you to bear this in mind as you pursue your aspiration of making Britain a country that works for everyone.
The NHS is one of our most beloved institutions with principles that people value and admire but like any public service it must adapt. We need to find long term solutions. Our inquiry will get to the core of the challenges that the NHS will face over the next two decades and beyond. We hope that it will lead to a cross-party consensus on a sustainable approach to better healthcare for all.
If I'd have been more educated about the symptoms of sepsis I would definitely have seen my GP sooner and perhaps prevented myself from being as ill as I have been. I'm just grateful for how my doctor saw the signs and reacted appropriately. Let's hope today's guidelines encourage more GPs to do the same and prevent needless deaths.
We all remember our days at school - our teachers, our friends, the moment the bell rang for break time. As children it's where we spend most of our time, the place where we build not only our academic skills but our knowledge of life and how to live it. But for some children and young people this experience is not quite the same.
While the obstacles seem high right now the payoff is as well, and it's good to remember that never did technological disruption come without its challenges.
I watched as the skin around the joint in her middle finger started to swell and bruise. It had happened innocuously some time ago on a trip to a local climbing wall. The finger was definitely larger and the worrying thing was that my wife had lost the ability to flex the last joint of that injured finger.
Any journey abroad if you are disabled starts with the nightmare of public transport, followed by the equally worrying experience of flying. I know fo...
The NHS absolutely cannot handle the closure of up to 3000 pharmacies in addition to its already enormous problems. Officials should get around the table with pharmacists and patients to discuss, from first principles, a future in which the pharmacy sector is vibrant and efficient, and fulfilling its full potential on the health service front line.
A good death - peaceful, dignified, reflective, compassionate, in the loving embrace of those closest to the dying person - is already a happy end for hundreds of thousands of people across our nation. In making this commitment, we make that promise universal, so that every dying person in England can live in anticipation of a good death.
When Aneurin Bevan spoke in support of the second reading of Labour's NHS Bill 68 years ago, he made a very simple, clear case. He argued that for healthcare to be truly universal, and democratic, it must be delivered through a national system. The N in NHS must truly stand for National, he argued...
Often, at times of crisis, a decision is made to put an old person into a care home. But at a time when the NHS faces mismatch between resources and demand, we must look further afield for a solution to cure Britain's current care crisis - perhaps technology is what will allow us to do more with less.
A cancer diagnosis is one of those moments in life when everything changes in an instant. Your whole world collapses around you. You are no longer the master of your own destiny. Instead your future rests in the hands of a bunch of medical experts, armed with an array of treatments designed to kill your cancer without killing too much of you at the same time.
The Brexit pledge of more money for the NHS was a key argument in the EU referendum. Indeed, it could well have been the deciding factor in a narrow win following a bruising campaign.

Heart Disease Health Center
Aortic Valve Stenosis - Cause
Most people who have aortic valve stenosis are born with a normal, healthy aortic valve but develop aortic stenosis late in life. Aging and calcium buildup cause the leaflets of the valve to thicken and harden, preventing the valve from opening properly. Typically, stenosis develops slowly over many years.
Most young people and teens who have aortic valve stenosis developed it from a congenital heart defect. The most common heart defect that causes aortic stenosis is a bicuspid aortic valve .
Some people may develop aortic stenosis after having rheumatic fever.

The post Do You Want Fast or Slow Results appeared first on Florida Fitness Coaches.]]>
The slow way is to implement small changes daily and make sure they stick. There is nothing wrong with this approach, and I have used it quite effectively with clients over the years.
The fast way is by doing what I call "Immersion". This means going all in full throttle and not looking back. There is a secret for this to work. You need a solid DAILY support system.
It's important to understand that losing fat and feeling great takes more than just showing up to the gym 3x per week or going on a diet. This is where people really miss the point. If you truly want to transform it takes daily effort making sure the big things (working out, eating right), and the little things (moving, supportive habits) get done day in and day out.
Let me give you an example of each so you can see how big a difference there is between the 2 approaches.
An example of the slow way would be taking 1-2 things and making sure they stick. So let's say drinking 70 ounces of water and getting 10,000 steps per day are 2 habits you are going to implement. These are 2 GREAT habits that will help you lose weight and get healthy. Once you have nailed these for 14-30 days, you would then add something else in like nutrition or working out. Over time this will absolutely get you results, but it will take you anywhere from 3-6 months to see significant improvements.
The fast way to fat loss and success will get you dramatic results in 6 weeks or less. This program involves a complete and immediate overhaul of your nutrition, strength training, metabolic conditioning, mobility work, AND mindset. However, the key to this program's success is DAILY support and accountability throughout the ENTIRE 6 weeks. For example, you would work IN THE GYM with a coach 6 days per week. Now don't panic, this is not an insanity workout program where you beat the crap out of yourself in the gym. That is not the point AT ALL.
BUT, when you get in the habit of strength training and doing metabolic resistance training on a daily basis 2 things happen:
We also combine your physical training with High Performance coaching and nutrition coaching to make sure you're getting the fastest results possible.
So what exactly IS High Performance coaching and nutrition coaching?
There is a lot that goes into High performance coaching, but in a nutshell it is setting up a framework of goal setting, positive daily habits, the right mindset training, and much more. This is then combined with daily accountability to make all of that happen.
Nutrition coaching is finding out exactly what YOU need to lose fat, feel great and have tons of energy. This includes finding the right calories, macro-nutrients (proteins, Fats, carbs), portions, and types of food that will get you there. Once this is set a daily plan is created that's easy to follow.
When you get daily coaching in all areas of fitness, nutrition, mindset, and habits YOU CAN'T LOSE.
This is why we call it "Immersion". You are supported constantly with DAILY email tips and DAILY text accountability to make sure it's easy for you to stay on track.
So in short, the "fast way" looks like this:
-3 days of strength training
-2 days of individual metabolic conditioning combined with specific mobility work
-1 day of HIIT (high intensity interval training)
-1 weekly high performance coaching session (nutrition and lifestyle)
-Daily accountability text
-Daily email tip
-Unlimited email support
A coach supports all of the above. The proper program combined with unlimited coaching sets you up for the fastest way to fat loss and performance.
Either way will work if you commit to the process, but the immersion version is the fastest way to results and also the easiest to stick with. After six weeks of immersion training it is MUCH easier to make all your progress stick.

The post 5 Things to Stop Doing to Get Lean appeared first on Florida Fitness Coaches.]]>
The good news is, there are some things you should STOP doing to get results fast. Let's take a look at the 5 things you need to stop doing to get in amazing shape.
Most people lie to themselves or justify that they "eat good". If you have weight to lose and have not been seeing results in the past 30-90 days, you need to stop lying to yourself and fix your nutrition. Without a doubt nutrition is the first place you need to look if you want to get lean.
I am not getting to specifics of any plan. I don't care if you're following paleo, low carb, counting calories, eating clean, whatever… Are you doing it consistently day in and day out? Most people will eat one day on target, the next they will eat a whole cake, eat clean again, then hammer a happy hour, and wonder why they didn't lose weight at the end of the week.
Nutrition is simple. Eat whole foods, the right macros for your body (carbs, protein, fats), burn more than you take in and do it day in and day out! That's it.
This one still amazes me. Even after all the research out there that has said long bouts of cardio are the least effective for fat loss and getting lean, people are still killing themselves in spin classes or running. Now if you do it because you really love endurance activities, fine, but if you're body composition sucks don't cry about it, or think more running and spinning is going to fix it. News Flash: It's making you fatter.
There are a few genetic freaks that do lots of cardio and look good. Keep in mind they are the exception to the rule or the outliers. A few others look lean but are actually "skinny fat" with zero muscle tone.
Am I saying all cardio is bad and you should stop it altogether? No! I am just saying it's not the answer to getting lean and you shouldn't over do it.
Now the term "heavy" is relative to the individual. If you are lifting weights and you are using a weight in which you could do endless amounts of reps, you will not get much benefit in the long run. For an absolute beginner who is deconditioned, they will get results in the begging from doing anything. However, after you have been working with weights for a decent amount of time, if you are not trying to get stronger it will become a waste of time in your effort to get lean.
The more muscle you have the more fat you burn and the leaner you get. The only way to do that is by overloading the muscle. When pushing the body to move more weight it has to compensate by getting stronger and build more muscle. When that happens it's the quickest way to getting lean.
This is a big one, and it amazes me that most people don't track their progress or follow a plan. Let's tackle a plan first. If you are going on a road trip to someplace you have never been before you would obviously use a map or some GPS device, which is the same thing as a map. In other words, you wouldn't just start driving north and hope you get where you want to go.
It is no different when it comes to working out to get lean. You should be asking yourself "what is the most effective plan I should follow to get in shape?". The mistake people make is say I am "working out". Do you know how many people go to the gym to "workout" and are in worse shape a year later than when they started? A Lot!
Next, if you get on a plan how do you know if that it's working? Simple, track your progress. Write it down! Write down what you are eating on a daily basis AND your workouts.
If you are not recording your workouts how do you know if you are getting better/stronger? You don't. When you do this it allows you to make the necessary adjustments depending on your progress.
This is interesting because unfortunately it seems as if we are living in a time of extremes. Either a person does nothing physical and eats like crap, or they turn into a workout nut doing it twice a day. This really goes back to #4, have a plan and follow it. The right plan will have a set amount of "on" days and work in proper rest.
Many times we see people beating the crap out of themselves 7 days a week. The mentality of "more is better" kicks in, but in this case is detrimental. What people don't realize is the body needs adequate rest to function optimally to burn fat and build muscle, but if it is constantly being pushed it will turn on its defense mechanisms to hang on to fat or cause other issues.
There is no reason to work out 7 days per week. Training 4 days per week with active rest is more than enough for the average person to get results.
So there it is, 5 things to stop doing to look amazing! Getting in shape isn't that complicated, but many people make it harder than it should be.
If you want to look your best, get on the right plan for you and be consistent!
Good Luck!

The post The Fundamentals of Success appeared first on Florida Fitness Coaches.]]>
I remember thinking yeah that's great but I just want to shoot the ball in the basket or hit the ball for a hit. But once I got bought into the process of practicing the fundamentals everything else fell into place. Instead of trying to do some fancy backhanded play at short stop or some funky layup I stuck with basics and made the play or shot. But when I tried to get "fancy" is when I screwed things up.
This analogy can be compared to our health and fitness plans. Are you doing the fundamentals? Most people want the big sexy workout or new sexy diet. The funny thing is that they haven't even stuck to a simple plan yet.
Are you drinking ½ your bodyweight in ounces of water? Are you taking a multi vitamin and fish oil every day? No? Then why are we talking about a new diet? If you can't do those 2 simple things every day you are wasting your time with everything else. The same goes for working out but on a different level for me. For me the question is do you move every day? What I mean here is do you at least go for a 10 minute walk daily or stand at your desk instead of sit for 10 hours? I always laugh when someone commits to working out 3 days per week for an hour but literally does not move for the other 4 days.
These are the fundamentals. If you can't nail down these simple habits you are wasting your time with everything else. Don't talk to me about what "diet" you should be on, drink 80 ounces of water 7 days a week for a month and we will talk. Make sure you get activity every day and then talk to me about what your workout should be.
This is one of the reasons people fail on new diets and workout programs. They try and tackle the more advanced part of what it takes without a sold base of the fundamental habits to make it easier to fit in the new program.
This is what leads to what I call shiny object syndrome. Someone who does not have the fundaments down and they start a fitness program and get no results because they don't do the little things that lead to success. From here they go to the next hottest "workout or nutrition" program and fail again.

The post Why am I not in shape yet? appeared first on Florida Fitness Coaches.]]>
Wow an entire month?
If I practice something new for an entire month do I expect to a be a pro? No, I don't but for some reason when it comes to fat loss doing something for a month means I should lose 20 pounds.
There are a couple things to cover here:
1. Exercise is not best for fat loss
2. I don't care what it is but anything new for one month doesn't solve anything in life
Dan John said this a long time ago about fat loss and I think he nailed it, if you want to lose fat you have to attack it for 30 days like your life depended on it.
Fat loss is not easy, it's simple but not easy.
Fat loss starts with nutrtion. What is right for you? Low calorie?Paleo?Vegan?
If you want to lose fat it takes a commitment to eating healthy 90% of the time and moving your ass.
Here is the formula:
1. Proper nutrition
2. Strength Training
3. Metabolic work
4. Daily moving
Simple, right? Most people believe it or not have no problem with 2-4 but #1 is a problem.
There are many reason but a few are, social events, addicted to sugar, lack of knowledge, etc.
I think it starts with not knowing what is right for you and recognizing what you are doing is not working. Some people will not admit that.
If you could eat food that made you feel good, lose weight, and enjoy life would you do it? Of course you would.
I am here to tell you it's possible.

The post What is Good Nutrition? appeared first on Florida Fitness Coaches.]]>
Without a doubt the #1 question I get is always related to nutrition. It's ironic because it is also the thing people don't do consistently. I think if there was one way to eat it would be much easier. There isn't and I don't think there ever will be.
The interesting thing is that research has come a long way and opened up the doors for different methods. An easy example would be nutritional ketosis. Once taboo now has proven health benefits from fat loss, improving blood parameters, and helping with epileptic seizures.
Am I suggesting you should be on a ketogenic diet? No I am not but I am not saying you shouldn't either.
I have never been dogmatic in my approach to nutrition. I honestly think any type of eating can work if you feel good, can stick to it and enjoy it.
Even the academics can't agree anymore. In the world of academics there was a pretty much universal way of eating that was recommended. With new research and methods the amount of fighting going on in these circles is comical. It is professor vs. professor. The even harder thing is both sides have supporting data for each of their points.
I don't think there is a right answer, but if you are overweight, feel like crap, and have no energy you are on the wrong plan.
How do you find out what is right for you? I have opened up a couple spots on my schedule for some FREE nutrition coaching sessions so I can help those who are dedicated to making a permanent change to start feeling and looking better.
If you would like a 20 minute coaching session (phone, Skype, or in person) email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will get you scheduled.
P.S. My availability is very limited for nutrition coaching sessions, so act now before the opportunity is gone!

We were highly dissatisfied with our stay Stonebridge RV park. The spots are close together. With absolutely no lighting around the park. Parking is a nightmare ! When park management was notified they did nothing to solve the problem. The trees around the park are overgrown, dropping limbs on the RV's & vehicles. The Wi-Fi didn't work at anytime during our stay. Cell service wasn't very good either. The freezers, couches, & kitchen tables our neighbors had stacked around there RV took the "resort" fill right out the place. The exercise room was small with one treadmill & bike. Pool & hot tub looked nice. It was closed for maintenance during our stay. The staff was over all rude & unhelpful. We will not be staying here again !! - lacroixr

We wanted to see some things on the coast so after reading reviews we decided to stay here because there were so many glowing reviews. I'm starting to think the reviews are fake to bring customers in. The electrical pedestals don't seem like they were wired by an electrician; my surge protector tripped constantly and without that it would have damaged all the electronics in the camper. The water had a very foul smell. Almost scared me to use it. Maybe it's because of all the oil refineries? Internet was spotty at best. Couldn't find anyone at the front office when I pulled in. The list goes on and on. I think the previous reviewer who gave it a 1 is spot on. Having so many 10's should have been a clue - because even the best RV parks get lots of 8's and 9's. - fulltimer53

This is a great park with excellent managers. It has "it" all; gated w/ 24 hr. coded access, water, sewer, power, cable, WiFi (not consistent), pool, laundry, everything cleaned often, level concrete sites with parking area and picnic table, lawn space between sites. New landscaping so don't drive off the concrete. Do need to improve (fence) their dog walks. - siftndirt

We stayed a week and our rate reflects that. You do get used to the train noise but it takes a couple of days. Sites are nicely spaced with cement pads. Restrooms there is one toilet. There are 2 sinks and 3 Showers in a separate room. The dressing room is communal so singles or couples need to lock the door. We had no trouble with not being able to take showers whenever we wanted. Sites are level and cement space. access is off a wide city street and the park road is a paved straight shot. We were visiting relatives in town. Did meet the park owners but the couple on site are nice and trimmed a tree quickly after we asked. Park appears to be well maintained and improvements are occurring as time permits. We stayed one week and are on our way back for another two. - junkmale56

The park is clean and the staff is very friendly. We were here through Thanksgiving, and there was a communal potluck dinner, which was nice. Big, flat, level concrete pads with 50, 30, 20 amp, sewer, cable, and dual water hookups on a lighted pedestal. Wide open, with not much space between pads. No privacy, or shade. No picnic table, fire pit, or grill. The park is very clean, almost to the point of feeling sterile. The bathrooms are pleasant, tiled and well maintained with access codes required for entry. Water pressure in the shower is adequate. The road noise is excessive and there are frequent trains that run through the night. We came because the reviews stated there was good WiFi, but it is spotty at best. Enough for an email, but not if there is a picture attached. It isn't even fast enough, or consistent enough to support a speed test through Ookla or Speakeasy. They offer Good Sam as well as Escapees discounts, so our weekly rate averaged out to $15/night. - Fezzik_Mallard

Excellent service from the manager and staff! Quick to respond to email, saved a site for us without payment.
Lots of space, nice paved roads, and concrete sites. Will fit any size RV without problem. Lots of workers but all sites well kept and looking good.
Washrooms clean and offer privacy with each unit having shower, sink, and toilet. - RDRV

The showers were functional and the water was hot. However, there was mold on the walls, and the stall was littered with personal items. The owners acknowledged they need some attention. I could not connect on their Wi-Fi. I had 5 bars of signal strength but could not get an IP address and connected. There were locals that could connect and some tried to help me. The management even contacted their Tech Guy, and he would have come by, but I declined as it was New Year's Eve. The management was helpful and the residents we met were friendly. The next day at another RV park my laptop connected automatically as has been the case for some time. The $20 is after a $5 Good Sam discount on the rate of $25. - rossby

Campground owner was very nice and chatty. Makes you feel very welcome. She loves her pets and goes out of her way to introduce you to them. We stayed here to visit some friends in Bay City. Price is a bit high for a park with no amenities to speak of. Children would be bored out of their minds. Wi-Fi is now available. - J59T
Dec 2009 - $20.00
We used this park as an overnight stay, and found it more than adequate. The cable TV and Wi-Fi were excellent, they even provided the cable for the TV hookup. The price was only $20 for the night, so it appears they dropped the price due to other posts. Just a note: they only have two pull-through sites, but the owner is VERY accommodating, so I'm sure she would try to fit you in someplace. We will definitely stay here again. - michdoc

This is a small park on one of the canals in Sargent Bay (usually listed under Bay City). Sargent it self is three or four buildings, one of which is a convenience store, gas station, and hardware store. There one other small store and gas station. There are about four restaurants. We ate in one on the water with very good food, but quite pricy. The RV park has 17 large back in pads that are something like 20 x60 feet with full hookups. The WIFI is decent, but the cable TV selection is weak. Most over the air stations from Houston are religious, Spanish speaking, or Asian speaking. The park is built around a large driving area which makes backing into most of the sites relatively easy. The front three sites on each site have limited space for backing up. There is building which has a laundry and bath facilities as well as a large scree TV, but we only know about from talking with other guests. All other guests were long term from few months to two years. It is on a canal, but has no boating landing facilities. It is located a few minutes from everything. Unless you fish and or go boating, there is basically nothing no do here. There is a very large rough beach across the Intercoastal. This is by far the best park in the area. The owner is absent, but very available by ph0ne. If I came back, I would stay here again. - Mrmac8
Feb 2014 - $15.00
We stayed here one month. Only 12 sites but concrete slabs and great location on the Texas inter-coastal if you like ocean coastal fishing. They have boat access and docks right next to the premium site we chose. The owners are not on site but have security cameras and can complete all paperwork over the phone. We loved this park and the wildlife refuge minutes away. Galveston is about a half hour up the coast. We will return to this park. Note that during summer fishing season, we think this area may get a bit noisy but it was very quiet in February. Their website is very accurate. Great owners. - adadiehl

Wow - this is definitely a must if you want it all. First of all, the sites are nice and far apart, so you feel private. Next, the biking/hiking trails are wonderful (some of the trails were closed when we were here due to flooded), but still lots of trails. Then you get so see all the alligators, turtles and various species birds that you want! Lots of coyotes howling when you are at your campfire too. The Texans bring their own wood, and if you would be able to do that, it would be better as their wood for $5 was 4 sticks and very wet. - Scotty 5154
Mar 2015 - $20.00
A big, beautiful state park. Sites are well separated, long, wide, and paved. Multitude of hiking trails, beautiful trees, and friendly staff. Only drawbacks, like a lot of Texas state parks, is they only have 30 amp service and no sewer hookups but had a convenient, nearby dump. Plenty of wildlife, deer, raccoons, birds, and alligators. We didn't see any gators but didn't really look either. A little far from the city of Houston, but that's ok unless you are going in frequently. Verizon service for the internet was not available. We would return. - starwind

This is a one of the nicest campground I've stayed in with spacious sites and lots of trees. I don't think there is an undesirable site! It is very clean and very well manicured, the park rangers at the office are the nicest I've ever met and they look happy to work there and reflects in how they treat you! I am definitely going back! - User3679

When you think of guitar accessories, there's no doubt that straps are some of the first things to come to mind. Virtually every guitarist uses them, after all, since a guitar can't exactly hold itself up when you're standing. And as useful as they are, the practicality of straps is only the first half of the equation - they're also highly visible when you're performing, which makes them the perfect stylistic extension of your guitar and your wardrobe. Coordinating all of those visuals is the key to creating a memorable stage presence, and when you need a shade of green to tie that look together, one of these green guitar straps will be just the thing to have in your collection.
The most important question to ask yourself when it comes to green straps is how flashy you want to be. That's because this is a color that lends itself to highlighter-like neons, and with options like the DiMarzio 2" Nylon Neon Standard Guitar Strap, you can definitely work that brightness into your look if you're bold enough to go for it. On the other hand, if you prefer your strap a little more subdued, maybe the Ernie Ball 2" Poly Strap is the right option for you - its green shades are rich, dark forest-like hues, which can make an amazing aesthetic accent if you have earthy tones in your look... or if it's St. Paddy's day and you want to fit the theme!
There are as many individual styles as there are guitarists, so no single one of these green guitar straps could be considered the best option for everybody. But there's definitely a strap here for any guitarist; it's just a matter of picking out the one that will fit into your ideal look. And of course, you'll want a strap that can hold your instrument comfortably as well. Any guitar strap in this section could be just what you need, and all it will take is a bit of browsing to make that perfect find.

What is a 'Parity Price'
A parity price is when the price of an asset is directly linked to another price. Examples of parity price are:
1. Convertibles - the price at which a convertible security equals the value of the underlying stock.
2. Options - when an option is trading at its intrinsic value ("trading at parity").
3. International parity - official rates for a currency in terms of other pegged currencies, typically the U.S. dollar.
BREAKING DOWN 'Parity Price'
Parity price is commonly used in the context of convertible securities and often referred to as "conversion parity price" or "market conversion price". It is the price an investor effectively pays to exchange or convert a convertible security into common stock and is equal to the price of the convertible security divided by the conversion ratio (the number of shares that the convertible can be converted into). Conversely, in the case of common stock, it is calculated by dividing market value by the conversion ratio.
In agricultural commodities, you can think of parity price as the purchasing power of a particular commodity relative to a farmer's expenses such as wages, interest on debt, equipment, taxes and so forth. The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 states that the parity price formula is "average prices received by farmers for agricultural commodities during the last 10 years and is designed to gradually adjust relative parity prices of specific commodities". If the parity price for a commodity is not sufficient enough for a farm operator to support his or her family and operate the business then the government could step in and support prices through direct purchases, or the issuance of non-recourse loans to farmers.

Orange Is the New Black Writer's Play Shows Why Dating Sucks
Dianna Aguilar, left, and Elizabeth Regen
Courtesy of the Bootleg Theater
In love, sometimes everything looks good on paper, but the chemistry just isn't there and things don't quite click. In theater, the same can be true, and seems to be the case for Gary Lennon's update of his 1995 play Dates and Nuts, which explores the pitfalls of the dating game in New York City.
Eve (the always funny Elizabeth Regen) and her best friend Mary (a charming Dianna Aguilar) begin the play parked on Eve's Brooklyn stoop, ogling men who pass by. Eve has a rough bravado to her sexuality, claiming that she's "definitely an ass woman." But somewhat prototypically, that tough exterior papers over her insecurity about her breakup with her ex-boyfriend, who turned out to be gay, or "G" as she puts it. Lennon cleverly crafts a scene that inverts the usual paradigm of men ogling female passersby.
The laughs truly step up, on leopard print heels, when Patrick (Darryl Stephens), Eve's drag-queen neighbor passes by and accosts Eve about a tacitly homophobic remark. Again, Lennon slyly employs humor to tackle an all-too-common problem. And even if Patrick veers into the "sassy black friend" stereotype at times, Stephens is hilarious as he "preaches" to the ladies about life and love in rhyming aphorisms. His character, added in the play's update, may be the funniest part of the show.
Darryl Stephens as Patrick
Courtesy Bootleg Theater
As Eve goes on a quest for sex and love, she comes across annoying pickup artist Donald (Dave Scotti), who is obsessed with mentioning his penchant for cooking, and potential soul mate Al (Josh Randall), who is mildly reminiscent of Sex and The City's Aiden Shaw, in the same bar on the same night. Things progress between Eve and Al, but not without complications, some of which are a tad predictable.

Despite the collective credits and talents of Lennon, his director Wilson Milan (Tony-nominated for Lieutenant of Inishmore) and his leading lady Regen, the romantic comedy doesn't land emotionally, making it difficult to invest in the characters outside of their laugh lines. Milan's direction darts from comedy to anger to pathos without a finesse that would make such transitions credible.
And speaking of transitions, the ones between scenes take far too long, even if Lennon and Milan cleverly employ Donald's character to hit on the stagehands. Stephen Gifford's set is pedestrian, especially when compared to his other excellent work.
And there's just far too little of Patrick on stage.

Sutton was the first African-American professor to become a full-time professor of architecture at an accredited professional degree program. In fact, she was the first full professor of architecture in an accredited professional program, which means she was promoted all the way up the ranks from assistant to full, rather than simply hired full time.

Have a grinding noise from the right front. No popping, sounds like metal on metal. Automatic transmission. Front end up in the air (on jack stands) and put car in drive. Left side turns. Right side turns some, slows down, speeds up, stops, turns intermittently. Does this sound like the transmission is going out or would a bad CV joint do this?

Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone!
I've got my tacos ready, my elotegoing, my chips and salsa on deck, and I've got a great drink to get your celebration heading in the right direction today: Pineapple Mocktail Margaritas!I know for many of you mocktail is not a word you want to see today. Most will be going full fledged for adult margaritas filled with the best tequila one can find. However, there are a few celebrations where a nonalcoholic treat would be welcomed and sometimes preferred.
My husband and I aren't the biggest drinkers though we will have a cocktail or glass of wine from time to time. I actually prefer mocktails sometimes because sometimes I order drinks and they are bit too strong for me so to me, these are killer. I started with BHG's recipe for Pineapple-Cinnamon Margaritas. They looked so refreshing, delicious and filled with fruit flavor. I knew this would be a fabulous base for my mocktail with just a few substitutions.
I simply made the following alterations to the recipe to make it nonalcoholic:
- I replaced the tequila in the recipe with ginger-ale. You can also replace this with lemon lime soda, sparkling water or club soda.
- I also replaced the orange liqueur with orange juice.
That's it. The result was not only refreshing but addictive. You can serve this to kids and adults alike, and they will adore it. And you don't have to worry about overdoing these. Have as many as you like today. I know I definitely will.

The artwork was, of course, outstanding. I liked the over all comic book coloring towards most of the scenery. Colors were great as well no doubt about it. Although, I would recommend that you put a bit more animation into your characters. I've seen Wilhelm Park and I know you can do it.
Nice ambient music to go along with the situations at hand. Loved it.
Overall, this is a really good MvC3 parody flash. I hope to see more flashes and artwork done by you. Caxx I hope to hear some more from you in redminus's future flashes.
I like the laugh what she makes. but what is the bf saver? or bfe saver??. sorry if dont know just no never that in europe
Annoying vs. Entertaining
Ok I would have been more entertained if her chesticles would have been like BAM all over thee screen but that might have not been acceptable, but I think that would have been the only way for me to stand her annoying high pitched voice
10/10 5/5
dante rules
Best in the series...
This is the only "Fake MvC3 Commercial" I actually like. Always good to see when someone on this site does something besides make a penis joke.
