text: Olivetto Restaurant Review by Tehniat Aftab Posted by Tehniat Aftab on Nov 02, 2013 After hearing a lot about Olivetto, me and my sister decided to try it out. So we landed there on a Friday, late afternoon and I must say, it's quite an impressive place. I fell in love with it as soon as I entered the Lounge and saw all the books around me. Beautiful interior - black sofas, black book-shelves laden with treasure, lit up with spotlights. At the end, you could see a mini bar. The mirrors used in the room were utilized well, giving the entire lounge a classy look. We asked for the menu and we decided to go for the All-Day Lounge Special. A drink, entrée and a dessert for Rs.539 (exclusive of taxes). My sister went for a Beef Burger, Bread Pudding and Mint Shikanjbeen, me, on the other hand ordered a Smoked Chicken Pizza, Crème Caramel and Mint Shikanjabeen. We were served with the drinks first, and never in my life have I ever had such an amazing Shikanjbeen. It was perfect. The mint was not over-powering, and there was a perfect balance between the sweetness and the sourness in the drink. It was just so good! And then, on it's way was our food! I rubbed my hands in glee and couldn't wait to try out the food. The pizza looked so scrumptious and beautiful! Yes, beautiful. Chunks, literally chunks of smoked chicken, olives and mushrooms. One way to measure the quality of the food is by freshness of the ingredients, and Olivetto here, did not use canned mushrooms; the mushrooms in the pizza were fresh button mushrooms and they tasted out of this world! The pizza's crust was perfectly chewy, thin crust, and was topped with the yummiest mozzarella cheese. I loved the pizza, and the waiter looked at me wondering how a not-so-fat lady eating an entire pizza. Yes, I finished it The beef burger was The Beef Burger. It was a big, juicy patty, topped with a slice of cheese and it was, A BEEF BURGER! Yes. Delicious as well. We were then served with the desserts. The creme caramel was creamy, and had a beautiful caramel sauce. The bread pudding's amazing taste cannot be defined by any set of words. The toffee sauce was finger-licking good; the warm pudding was served with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. My sister really could not resist wiping the sauce off the plate with her fingers! All in all, it was a trip absolutely worth our money. The ambiance, the quality of food, the worth for money, the service, the taste - impeccable. Also, I would like to congratulate the team of Olivetto for completing a year serving mouth-watering food to Karachiites. Hope they stay consistent with the quality of the food. It is a place I am definitely looking forward to going more often (and maybe intern too after I've completed my F&B Production Diploma *winks*). If fine-dining has a name, it is definitely Olivetto. No other restaurant has ever pleased me with their food and service as much as Olivetto has. We were also met by Afroze, who was an amiable person to meet. Olivetto was quite a pleasurable experience.

Northeast of Fairbanks, Alaska, they recorded -52 degrees Fahrenheit this morning. Brrr...
Alvin Alexander | Java, Scala, Unix, Perl, Mac OS X
Ender's Game isn't a "feel good" movie, but for what it is — a science fiction war movie — it's one of the smartest movies of the last five years, with terrific special effects.
"The power of karma is strong in everyone, stupid or clever. When that force is broken, it becomes possible to understand Zen."
From the book, The Way of True Zen, by Taisen Deshimaru (pictured).
(A lot of Buddhist quotes remind me of Star Wars, and vice-versa.)
Here's a photo of three ravens surrounding a car in the snow in Wasilla, Alaska, on December 7, 2010. As I've written before, in many places they don't plow the snow too hard in Alaska.
Kroger clerk: Can I help you sir? You look lost.
Me: Good morning. Yes, my aunt has terminal cancer and would like some marijuana. I was wondering where you keep it?
Clerk: Um ...
Me: I thought the raw product might be in Produce, but I didn't see it there. I'd prefer organic if you have it.
Clerk: Um ...
Me: Then I didn't know if the edibles would be in the Candy aisle, or maybe by the ibuprofen.
Clerk: Um, sir, we don't sell marijuana here.
Me: OMG, why not? You could put it on the same aisle as the munchies, and revenue would go up immediately! Do you have a suggestion box? Or maybe I should talk to the store manager ...
(Note: The Kroger stores in Colorado are called King Soopers, but I figure that most people know the Kroger franchise, so I used that name here.)
An article titled The Best Way to Learn Anything: The Feynman Technique shares these steps about how to learn a topic really well. (Where Feynman refers to Richard Feynman.)
When I saw this quote posted on Twitter by Jonas Bonér (originally from Isaac Asimov), it made me wonder if Meritocracy wouldn't be a better form of government than Democracy. What I mean is that if you are actively involved in government or your local community you are allowed to vote, but if you aren't you don't get to vote. Something like that.
IMHO, what we have in the U.S. right now is a popularity contest. I have no doubt that if Arnold Schwarzenegger could run for President in the U.S., he would have easily beaten Trump or Clinton this year. (I mention him specifically because of his interest in politics.)
"Okay, well, here's my story, here's what you need to know. I'm just divorced and I had my heart broken badly by a woman that I really loved. But I think your heart grows back bigger. You know? Once you get the shit beat out of you, and the universe lets your heart expand that way. And I think that's the function of all this pain and heartache that we all go through, you know, you gotta go through that to come out to a better place and that's how I see it, anyway."
One of the many great quotes from my favorite movie of the now, Must Love Dogs.
Personal note, star date December 5, 2016: Apparently I strayed too far off the diet yesterday and broke out in a couple of hives last night.
If you live in Colorado, you're doing laundry at someone's house in Kentucky, and you lose a sock in the dryer, where does it go?
A brief message from Cloud Atlas:
About five years ago, when my thyroid was first failing, I went through something known as Hashimoto's disease. What happened was that at some times I would become hyperthyroid (and therefore hyperactive), but most of the time I was hypothyroid, meaning that my brain and body were slow and sluggish.
Nine times out of ten I was sluggish, so one day when I had a job interview I decided to drink some Red Bull. I had one drink an hour before the interview, and drank the second one just before the interview.
Sadly, on this occasion my body decided to have that "1 out of 10" day and be hyperactive. Combined with the two Red Bull drinks I couldn't sit still or think. I'm sure the people conducting the interview thought I was on speed, and more than once they told me I could relax. I wanted to tell them, "No, I can't. I really can't." By the end of that miserable interview I was just glad my heart didn't explode.
At the time this seemed like a really bad event in my life. I didn't know what to do about my thyroid, and I felt miserable. I was at a real low point, especially in my professional life.
Fortunately one of the next things I did was to send an email to the O'Reilly folks asking if they needed someone to write the Scala Cookbook. They said yes, and the rest is history.
Looking back on that interview, I now think that if I had done well that day I might have been forced to work with Java for the next few years. Instead, I've been able to work with Scala ever since that day. I got to write the Scala Cookbook, and now I'm working on a book about Scala and functional programming. With the mast cell disease stuff I just went through I would have never been able to work at a "normal" job, so all of this turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Moral: One some days things in your life can look bad, really bad. But if you keep your chin up and keep working hard, good things can still happen, and in the end that bad day can be the best thing that ever happened to you.
In case you need a gift for the mom that has everything, here you go. :)
(From time to time I write little stories that have nothing to do with programming or technology; this is one of those stories. So, if you're only here for the technology stuff, you'll want to skip this one.)
I'm standing in the kitchen of a friend's house at a Christmas party, making myself a drink while talking to a friend named Angie. This was nothing unusual; she and I were always talking about something. We became friends during our last year in high school, and we've been talking every since.
In retrospect it's obvious that I have feelings for her, but I guess you could say that I didn't appreciate her back then. After high school my ambition took me away to college, and then to a series of jobs in different states. By the time I decided to move back home, she was married and had two young children.
While we talked all the time, this kitchen conversation was unusual. I don't remember how it started, but Angie did ask me about something I rarely talk about: my parents getting divorced in high school.
Here's a link to the latest holiday "gifts for geeks" from ThinkGeek:
They also have these geek gift ideas for under $20:
"Years ago I knew little, but was comfortable using things I didn't understand. Now I'm experienced, I fear things unless I understand them."
"You and me together, right?"
This is most of a story from a book called, "Turning the Mind Into an Ally." When Zeus was sick and I'd stop petting him, he'd turn and look at me like this.
I don't know much about rap/hip-hop, but thanks to Ghost Dog I do know about RZA and the Wu-Tang Clan.
From Ghost Dog:
"Our bodies are given life
from the midst of nothingness.
Existing where there is nothing
is the meaning of the phrase,
Form is emptiness.
That all things are provided for
by nothingness
is the meaning of the phrase,
Emptiness is form.
One should not think that
these are two separate things."
This is the front of one of the postcards I designed for my Zen Foundation business back in 2012. I liked it, but not enough other people liked it, so I closed that business for the time being.
Had an unexpected reorganization at the company today.
Moved the desk around, re-positioned some lamps. (I work from home.)

"Prior to this session, the student had been working ahead on the Honors Chemistry. It really is showing as we work together and go on to the next topic before it is covered. In the session, he and I went over Lewis Dot structures, VSEPR, and Molecular Geometry. he really was able to grasp the concepts and seemed a lot more excited. In addition, he and I touched a little bit on Pre-Calculus before his quiz. He showcased his preparation and it definitely is paying off."

"The student is learning about bacterial and viral genomes, plasmids, gene cloning, and cDNA libraries. We spent most of the sessions going over the two chapters in his textbook that will be covered on his next exam. He asked a lot of questions about viral genomes, and about bacterial DNA transfer so we spent a little extra time on those topics."
"The student's physics problems are now combined for each week, so she spent a longer time than usual working through today's assignment, which related to the following topics: oscillatory motion, velocity, frequency, period, angular frequency, and kinetic/ potential energy of an oscillating spring system. She had a strong understanding of this material by the end, particularly when working with energy. She had more difficulty with interpreting graphs, but doing more problems will definitely help with that. She will complete this homework assignment during our next session, once she has covered more material in her lecture."
"During this session, we focused mainly on discussing periodic trends of the elements. This included atomic radius, electronegativity, and ionization energy. After asking the student to describe the trends, it became apparent that the main way she had learned these trends was through memorization. As such, we spent time discussing the "why" behind the trends, including concepts such as electron shells and shielding, nucleus attraction, electron repulsion, and noble gas conformations. By the end of the session she seemed more comfortable with the trends and could hesitantly explain why they followed the observed patterns. I encouraged her to make flashcards to help her relate the concepts to the trends. We also began discussing molecular orbitals and writing electron configurations. She seemed to grasp this easier, although additional practice would be helpful in the future."
"The student and I had a great session. He has a calculus test coming up this week, so we spent our time working on that material. He is struggling with related rates questions, so we did several practice problems dealing with that topic. We talked about the general strategy to solve that type of problem and talked about other things he can do to prepare for the test. Our next session is scheduled for Monday."

Page.ly Review – Is It Worth It?
Page.ly is a managed WordPress host that first began in 2006, but relaunched in 2009. As a managed WordPress hosting solution, Page.ly is definitely a much better provider than shared hosting. What follows is my recommendation based on general information and my experience with Page.ly during the managed WordPress hosting speed test case study.
What Page.ly Does Well
As I said above, if you have having issues with your host being slow or your host not being able to keep up… Then Page.ly is a great solution. With Page.ly you can expect automatic core updates, increased security, amazing speed, and better than average customer support. Page.ly also does automatic backups which can be a lifesaver if your site gets hacked, or you accidentally nuke your website. I've done that before…
Page.ly also has the advantage of having several top-notch clients such as Vonage, Texas A&M, New Relic, and others. Page.ly is definitely doing something right. We can back this up as our websites also saw speed increase to about 4 seconds per page load on average and did not have any security issues.
Page.ly also backed up their service with super quick customer support. I usually received responses to my support requests within about 20-30 minutes, which is perfectly fine with me. Although, one time they did seem to get a bit short with me.
Where Page.ly falls Short
I have to agree that Page.ly has great security. They run their infrastructure on Firehost, which is arguably the best when it comes to secure cloud hosting.
That being said, I would like to see Page.ly offer some sort of guarantee about the security of their website. This could be something similar to WP Engine's guarantee that they will un-hack your website for free, or it could simply be a slight discount when there is downtime.
Joshua Strebel has already responding to this suggestion on managed WordPress hosting compared.
One other thing that truly irritated me was that I had to pay $5 to get FTP access. Why would I want to pay $5 extra for FTP when I'm already paying for top of the line hosting? When I asked Page.ly on twitter why they do this, they responded with "to save inexperienced users from themselves." This irks me, and is one of the reasons that I would not personally recommend Page.ly as a managed WordPress host.
Bottom Line
Page.ly is a good choice for a web host, especially if you are currently on a shared host and having issues. You will definitely notice your website is faster and better customer support than most hosts. I would like to see them add some kind of security guarantee and change the $5 FTP fee. If those are minor inconveniences for you, then go ahead and give Page.ly a try.
If you are looking for the best in hosting though, we recommend going with WP Engine. WP Engine is also giving all Art of Blog readers 3 months free. Use coupon code ARTOFBLOG to get that special offer.

I agree 100% I rate the hosts WPEngine, ZippyKid, Page.ly and I have not tryed Synthesis but will soon. You are dead on. Pluse page ly has added hack fix but the cost if you want a CDN is $20 on top of the base $50 just to have the right to use a CDN on there system. thats and as of sep1 blocking the MX from there DNS this is a cheap way to not. Pay for DNS I had a cllint that had not put his site up but payed when Page.ly sill let people use MX they told me "sorry we can't change it" ok you want me to send people to you? Or trust you can't turn on DYN's MX that's a lie (sorry the best word for it)
FireHost is great but not the best. The $5 for SFTP reason will be the reason I will not send anyone if manged WordPress is only for the the techie page ly missed the point. I will say there nice but the problems are just dumb.
I am thinking of either switching to Page.ly or upgrading my CloudFlare account. I am leaning toward the former. Page.ly is more expensive, but it seems like they take care of a lot of things. I just want to focus on content. I am a software engineer, so it's not hard, but just time consuming to fiddle with these things. The costs are tax deductible, as my website is a product of my LLC.
My question is — Page.ly sells their accounts based on the number of visitors per month it can handle. What if you have more visitors? Do they throttle you? Do they force you to upgrade?
My site is 8 months old, and I get between 15,000 – 17,000 page views per month. I am hosting on fatcow, with W3 Total Cache and the free CloudFlare account. So far, so good. Pages load fast enough, and I am nowhere near maxing out bandwidth or disk space.
I guess I could ask them, but perhaps they won't disclose every wrinkle…
I would to 1st apologize to Pagely as I have spent more time with them. I have realized that they are a good company I spoke in haste and wish to apologize to Josh have a lot of respect for him.
To answer the ladies question above yes you would be smart to move to Page.ly they are much better than using cloudflare a company that is excellent at securing your blog however terrible as a CDN.
WP engine is an excellent choice as Zippykid I cannot recommend web synthesis as I found them lacking many things I took for granted on the other managed work press hosting sites.
"My question is — Page.ly sells their accounts based on the number of visitors per month it can handle. What if you have more visitors? Do they throttle you? Do they force you to upgrade?"
No they will never throttle you that if something budget hosts do and fat cow might be doing right now.
As I described you will never have to upgrade unless you're consistently going over the allotted amount of visitors per a month. The fact that you can write this off because you are an LLC makes it crazy for you to stay with fat cow. Everything you just described about wanting to actually concentrate on your work and let the hosting go to the guys who do hosting well you found what you're looking for. Write it off and get a host that will care for you and understands WordPress
believe I can say this without any doubt none of these guys are going to turn off your website because you have exceeded traffic limits especially if it is something you are not aware of or could never have guessed that you would've gotten anything like that. In fact I will go farther and say I don't believe that they will turn off your website based on too much traffic.
You get a lot more out of hosting with a miniature WordPress host than you ever will with fat cow. I feel sorry honestly for everyone who uses fat cow and Go Daddy they are junk somebody could be running whatever they want on the same IP and server as your website affecting your speeds slowing you down giving your website a bad name if your IP is blacklisted from some spammer. And what do you gain you save money by. Spending $3 a month on hosting I'm not putting that down saving money is a fine thing however if you care about what your hosting you will get a lot more care with a managed WordPress host than you ever will with fat cow.
I also believe fat cow and a few other hosts who come in number 1 for this best hosts to so because of skillful PPC and search engine optimization.
Any host that charge to so little and throws in what looks like a carnival had their train took over and you are piled on with junk you should be wary of.
Cloud flair is a necessity if posting on somebody like fat cow not for the reasons you may be thinking it's going to make my site fast it's going to help all the problems that are owing on make it equal to Pagely believe me there's nothing fat cow can do to make themselves equal to pagely they can throw in a Lamborghini and then I'll talk to him however until that day happens stay away from fat cow they need the long cachet times afforded to them by cloud flair so when they go down you don't notice.
It's the truth look at cloud flair allows for your website to be cached on their servers for a extremely long time making it accessible during down time. Is this a good thing that fat cow is offering yes for them doesn't make them as good as a real quality web host God no.
I hope I have answered your question completely and that I am 100% accurate.
Yeah… I notice FatCow with CloudFlare is not going to cut the mustard. FatCow has too many problems with outages and CloudFlare doesn't cache all the pages. FatCow has had two major (4+ hour) outages in the past 6 months. But they have small outages all the time and "maintenance" outages. They are not "five nines". Not even close.
I'm looking into Page.ly, but will hold off until I see issues with my site's speed. I know what I have now will not work for hundreds of thousands of page views per month.
The first thing I would honestly do is get off of that fat cow website. If you have over 100,000 visitors per a month. I would imagine that means it's costing you every time fatcow Tips (Goes down ) for over for four hours at a time. Then the choices for me would be and you're talking about only one website it would still be WP engine is going to cost $99 per month. They are going to give you quite a bit for that money. However zippy kid give you hundred thousand visitors And the content delivery network for $25 a month. If you need 200,000 visitors it is an additional $20 per month. Not bad at all when you're talking about the amount of visitors you are receiving per month. If you're talking about that the visitors then websynthesis 2,500 Visitors a day if they still offer this amount per a day and not Per a month which I would check with them would also be an option. websynthesis
Again it all depends on how much you want to spend on your hosting you want in return. Any of the sites listed including Pagely which may be more expensive for the higher page views are going to be far better than when you're on now.
I made the switch to WPEngine. I really like it. Beyond the speed, their staging environment and instant restore points are really cool. Backups and better security are key advantages. It took me about 4 hours to make the switch, the bulk of the time was spent downloading and uploading files. It was pretty easy, apart from an SQL error, but since I know SQL very well, I was able to fix it. My exported script had a line to create a new db, which I commented out. I think this would stump a newbie. Of course, I'm sure WPEngine's support would help the newbie user fix it…
Oh, but the speed is so good. I ran a test in alertra, and from all locations except Singapore, I get a page load of less than half a second. Singapore is 1.3 seconds. When I ran this same test on my Fatcow site, offpeak hours, it was 4-5 seconds per page load. But I know, from my Google Analytics stats, on weekends it can often take 25 seconds for a page to load. I am looking forward to seeing how well WPEngine performs on the weekend. I bet I will get way more page views because people won't be discouraged by slow page loads.
Beyond the tests, I see my pages loading super fast when I access them. The WP amin console is ridiculously fast. It's almost like using a desktop application. I check my jetpack stats frequently (almost addicted to that), and they come up fast. With fatcow, I would often have to take multiple attempts.
I also saw an immediate bump in SEO. Articles that I had written months ago, and got very little traffic, are suddenly being viewed. Articles that were burried on page 50 of Google search results are now on page 9. Of course, my most popular articles have always been first in results, with the right search terms. I have read that page speed is taken into consderation with SEO. Wow, that's so true.
I would recommend anyone who is aiming to succeed with their WordPress site to go for premium hosting. I can only vouge for WPEngine, but your other suggestions may be great also. Just don't go for the shared hosts — GoDaddy, Fatcow, Hostgator. They are not for serious users. Maybe if you have some local shop and want a website for it, it's fine. If you plan on developing a site that gets massive ammounts of traffic so you can make money with advertising or whatever, go with a premium host from the get-go. Don't do what I did — think that FatCow is a good place to start. If you have ambitions, invest the money in a premium host. The greater speed will provide an SEO advantage that will get you more page views.
I get about 20,000 page views per month, which is not bad for an 8 month old site. If I had a premium host from the start, I have little doubt that I would be getting 50,000 page views by now.
I don't mean to completely trash shared hosts. FatCow and others are very good options for people who just want to promote their small business. It's not the way to go if your business is building a high traffic website.
I am nothing but pleased with WPEngine. It's only been a day so far, but I can already see way more hits. Let's face it — if a web page takes 25 seconds to load, you're gonna bail. If you do wait, you're not going to explore. I wouldn't wait 25 seconds for a page to load.
I also think it's great that they push upgrades of WP when they have been tested. That was sometimes a "white knuckle" experience. I had a few scary moments dealing with that… Even with my backups (manual FTP), no one wants their site down for hours. Luckily, I never ran into anything too bad, but with WPEngine, I have no more worries about WP upgrades.
Thanks for the informative article. I started hosting my blog on Page.ly a couple weeks ago (the lowest plan, one blog) and I am absolutely loving it.
Page.ly sucks. I've had one client having non-stop errors with their site for the last year. Thank god we have Cloudflare running to handle most of the outages but there's a few that just take everything down.
Also, have not received a response from Page.ly support for that last week and just found out that our client has not received any response in the last month.
I cannot believe I first recommended these guys. Never again.
Dylan, I have 2 sites hosted with Page.ly and they experience constant errors and downtime, from not being able to access parts of the WordPress admin, CSS not loading on the site or in the admin. Their support response has been poor and not timely – often days after submitting a ticket. I am in the process of migrating these sites off of their hosting.
Conversely, I have several multi-site installations on WPEngine and am extremely happy with them. They are worth the extra expense. Their support team is quick to respond and go the extra mile to get your issue resolved, however I have not needed to contact them much.
I'm working on a client site right now and am so frustrated by pagely I could not sit here silently and let others sign up for the 'service'…
Constant timeout errors, FTP issues, backup problems, plugin blacklisting, need I go on? The client called us to find out what's wrong with their site – the answer is pagely. The shame is pagely makes it hard to get access to your files (unreliable FTP and have not been able to get MySQL dumps) so now getting rid of them means $1k in fees for me to manually beat the site into submission…
Don't do it. There are more options out there
Hi Kyle,
I am sorry to hear about your recent experience with us. Like all hosts, we sometimes experience issues in our datacenters so i apologize for any trouble caused.
Things are running much more smoothly now and we recently brought in the former director of engineering at StumbleUpon as our new CTO to implement additional monitoring and failover mechanisms, to avoid any future missteps.

Possible one had a need to alter one or two of the scheduled exercises, since the particular exercise, say for the shoulders, that one of the partners employed, simply didn't work for the other. And so on.
Nor am I aware of any two lifters following identical training routines. Each top strength star must find the right combination of exercises, sets, reps, "heavy" vs. "moderate" or "light" workouts per month that he personally ought to do in order to prompt the greatest gains, etc.
Also, when I observe experienced athletes or simple fitness enthusiasts who employ weights as their primary medium of physical training, I always notice that no two individuals employ the identical routine. So what am I saying here? Am I saying that the answer to the question posed by the title of this article is a flat "No!" Actually, no, I'm not saying that. However, in what many will at first believe is simple selfcontradiction, I want to emphatically state that in a manner of speaking, yes, Iam saying that there is an ideal training program.
Here's what I mean, in detail:
On the one hand there can never be a single "perfect" training routine that, when followed in some precise, unalterable manner, will somehow work flawlessly for everyone who follows it. Every individual is different, unique and special. However, on the other hand, virtually every individual must adhere to a somewhat similar training approach, or his body can't possibly become as strong, fit and well-built as its inherent potential will allow.
This is because we all - easy gainers down to the world's hardest gainers- possess human bodies that have muscles, bones and a general structure that respond in general to demands upon it that are, and that must remain, very similar.
Just as the principle of overloading the muscles by ever-increasing resistance is a "must-employ" rule for a Mr. Universe, so it is for a cardiac patient who's rebuilding his health; and so are all of the other principles that result in physical improvement and excellence.
Basic exercises are the ones that have built every single outstanding body! They have triggered the gains that have permitted underpar, terribly hard gainers to appear, literally, as transformed beings, just as they have permitted genetically wellendowed "naturals" to acquire world-class levels of development.
Rest and good nutrition are required by, and will inevitably assist in the development of anyone. Measuring one's training carefully so as to avoid doing too much, while ensuring that enough is always done, is necessary for anyone who aspires to optimal development.
Quality performance of the basic exercises is an essential rule for everyone. It figures in the routines of title winners and it figures in the routines of the less genetically favored individual who is seeking his personal best. So, in a manner of speaking, yes there is an ideal training program; ideal in the sense that one must adhere to the same proven body-building and strength-developing rules that everyone must adhere to, or one will never actualize one's ultimate potential, however great or modest it may be.
Yet, on the other hand, every single individual needs a custom approach to working out. In general terms he must do what every successful trainee has always done in order to build up. But, specifically, he will need to do these things in a manner most suited to his unique personal requirements.
I remember very well what I read back around 1960, when I first became interested in building up my body (primarily, to bolster my self-defense training, and to compensate for my inherent weakness and poor genetics). People who, to this day, I regard as great authorities on the matter of physical training, wrote about the following:
- Using low reps for power and high reps for endurance.
- Using a wide variety of exercises.
- Training 4-5 days per week.
- Employing "shaping" exercises along with the key basics, in order to build "shapely" muscles.
- And a few other "rules" that, according to these people (who I'm absolutely convinced meant only to convey that which they believed was the best possible information about building up) needed to be followed scrupulously, if "true" success was desired.
The Reality
I found out, after many years of my own devotion to personal training, that these "accepted truths" just weren't, well, really true for everybody. There was truth to them for some people, to be sure. But they were by no means truths.
For some it was possible to drastically improve both endurance and muscle size via low-rep training, in certain cases, providing the proper exercises and training pace were employed. I also found that some people did quite well by employing fairly high reps in order to get much stronger.
In my case and practically everyone else, a wide variety of exercises were not needed. In fact, I found that a very few exercises are required in order to build a great physique and great strength, although, which few exercise variations ought to be selected for each individual trainee do tend to vary greatly.
I found that everyone could gain very well on three (and sometimes two) hard weekly workouts, and that training four, five or six times per week was often absorbed by easy gainers, but was never really needed by anyone. For the majority of people who use weights in order to supplement an athletic activity, two weekly workouts are normally quite enough.
So-called "shaping" exercises were just about 100% pointless and that the degree of "shapeliness" one ultimately enjoyed after building up on good, hard, basic exercises was dependent simply upon heredity and, to a lesser degree, diet more often than not.
I found that fewer sets generally produced the greatest benefits-i.e., normally two or three per exercise, or possibly four when reps dropped to between four and six per set-despite the fact that so many physique stars seemed hell-bent in working their bodies for many more sets per exercise than that.
I found that "split" routines, though very popular, were not nearly as effective and beneficial as all-round total-body routines.
I found that much of what many people seemed to swear by, as far as diet was concerned, was largely nonsense. I came to see that "basically good nutrition" was the key; and that precisely what this is depends to a large extent on the individual's specific physiology and very personal unique preferences. Enormous eating and feeding sessions will not turn a slender-boned hard gainer into a huge, well-muscled physique star. It will just pile a lot of fat on a skinny frame. Good food in amounts that the individual requires for growth and development, coupled with hard training, rest and a positive attitude, is what builds up anyone to his maximum.
Only very few people can become physique or strength stars. Most of us can, in fact, never achieve a level of development that even comes close to "star" status. However, if the right principles and rules of sound training are followed-the rules that have always been responsible for building the finest physiques and greatest strength athletes in history-then an ideal routine will have been discovered, and by using it one will attain one's own personal "ideal" level of development.
Personalized Training
I can't tell you exactly which specific exercises to follow, and which specific exercises will work for you. But I can sure tell you which types of exercises to derive your variations from, and if you'll pay attention you'll make great progress!
If you're relatively new to bodybuilding, you'll need to alter your training schedules over time and try out the possible variations of the exercise movements until you discover what fits you, personally, the best. Here's what you'll need in order to build your "ideal" routine:
- Pressing movement that's general and basic. This means the standard military type barbell press (seated or standing), or heavy alternate or simultaneous dumbbell press, or one-hand military press with a dumbbell (seated or standing).
- Curling movement. Regular barbell curls or the simultaneous or alternate heavy dumbbell curling movements (may be done seated, if desired).
- Bench pressing. Regular barbell bench press, flat or incline, or two dumbbells heavy bench press (assuming you've got dumbbells that are heavy enough) on a flat or incline bench.
- Rowing. Basic bent-over barbell or heavy single-arm dumbbell version.
- Squatting. The King! There's no way around this baby! You may do these in parallel or full-squat versions, and even partials are good. But you've got to squat!
- Deadlifting, standard or stiff-legged.
A basic routine built around a selection of exercises from that very excellent assortment will do the job. Most people like to add some abdominal and calf work, and, sometimes, it's interesting to use basic and heavy exercise variations like dips and chins as substitutes for bench work and rowing. These are very fine exercises and will provide great results when worked hard enough.
I've emphasized only basic barbell-dumbbell work, per se, because I assume that most readers train at home and haven't access to dipping bars or a chinning bar that permits weighted work.
A perfectly excellent and totally comprehensive schedule is easily set up using only the listed barbell-dumbbell exercises.
The trick is to pay attention to yourself and to note how you, personally, respond not only to a particular exercise variation, but also to a specific scheme of sets and reps with the exercises you do. Be your own trainer! You are unique, and without violating the basic rules and principles of sound physical training, your workouts must reflect your acknowledgement and understanding of your uniqueness.
Follow through in this manner, patiently and persistently over the weeks, months and years, and you will most assuredly discover the ideal training program for you!

It looks like eBay bans all of their Paypal competition though. I don't think it's anything specifically against Google.

eBay has a lot of things to worry about these days, eh? CJ, google, et al...

So, anyone starting a pool on how long we have to wait for GoogleAuctions?
I see GA including:
- integration into Froogle (and thereby the SERPs) instead of eBay
- no listing fees to start
- a click-and-drag interface to make pretty listing pages (google page builder)
- an API that can do everything eBay's can do and more
- an affiliate program to try to cut that leg out from under eBay
- auction ads in adsense, to get their auctions EVERYWHERE
what am I missing?
Yes, I realize that everyone else has tried to knock eBay off the top of the hill. Yahoo tried and failed. Amazon tried and failed.
But Google has the reach to pull this off. And I suspect they would rather beat eBay at their own game than call foul in the courts. Really, which would be a sweeter victory?
-John.There's a reason army's wear uniforms even though it makes them easier to spot. Sometimes that's what you want. Uniforms suggest organization, power, and numbers. These, in turn, inspire fear. And, as any good operative knows, there is no more effective weapon than fear.

I think it would be hard to dislodge ebay from the top.
It would be a sideline for google vs. ebays main business. A lot of people have spent years building up their ebay rep...., plus on the other end there are many that are tech challenged and would be resistant to switch over.
But, a serious committed challenge from G would definately have ebay sweating a bit!

Some day when I have the time (and I always find something else to do, this is not high on my list) I would like to read:
interesting book review about the rise and fall of a high profile American company.
eBay may seem invincible ... but given market/economic factors and some type of situation that might work against the company ... you never know.
On the other hand, eBay may prosper, so who knows?

Bringing free auctions/fixed price listings in such a large scale Google could do some major damage especially with the Google Checkout option. Though, just like they said they would never compete against paypal Google also said the same thing about Ebay.

Oh, I believe its possible, I've seen recent google serps.

eBay blows more money on worthless PPCSE keywords then any other enity on earth. It sure should piss them as the largest Adwords customer that they are automatically barred from even using the soon to be ROI effective Google-Checkout logo on any PPCSE listing.... Let the Google CPA, Gauction, and Gpay initiative begin, as it will eventually spotlight and reward those who can put real value into a click... from a shoppers viewpoint.Webmaster's...

Yes with the current attitude among many of ebay's powersellers, some healthy competition is greatly welcomed. Ebay totally pulled the rug out from many sellers after their stores in search fiasco. Give 1000's of store sellers a huge increase in sales, and then pull the plug on it claiming buyer confusion.(real translation, reduced revenue from auction listings) I do expect google to expand into the auction or p2p venue and the timing couldn't be any better in my opinion.

Google can be a REAL competition for Ebay. Ebay sellers are always looking for an alternative but nobody has been able to bring in buyers. Naturally the sellers have to put up with ebay because they go where the buyers are. If Google does things right they can kill ebay.
Most of the Ebay adwords are Ebay affiliates.

Hi all
was wondering if anyone has been to either pivet or concept both in subiaco,perth. If so, how was your experience and who was ur specialist? Ta
Hi all
was wondering if anyone has been to either pivet or concept both in subiaco,perth. If so, how was your experience and who was ur specialist? Ta
I had a terrible experience at Concept - they missed something very vital for over 2 years and my specialist could never remember anything about my case and wouldn't try new things. I moved to Fert Specialist WA and as someone has said before it was like going from Maccas to a five star restaurant. I have also heard from other ladies that Pivet is good. Good luck for the future xx
Hollywood or fertwa
Sent from my GT-I9305 using The Bub Hub mobile app
Pivet for me was not a good experience.
Fertility specialists however O.M.G unbelievable and they've got it first shot both times for us.
Pivet was a waste of very valuable time Anyway won't go into it FSWA all the way👍
I am at Fertility North, they are fabulous - I have only heard countless bad things about Concept!! Good luck x
I am with concept, dr L williams, would never recommend this clinic and wouldn't be going there if I did not have to do pgd testing, good luck.
Sent from my iPhone using The Bub Hub mobile app
Oh I was at concept and only have positive things to say about them. I might be the only one by the sounds of it :/
I'm at Pivet and found Dr Borude and dr sillender excellent
Rtroops FSWA do PGD testing too. I think many of the others do too so don't feel pressured to stay with a clinic you are not happy with. Good luck xx
I'm with Pivet. I'm kind of surprised that Loco found them a waste of time as I found them extremely thorough in all their testing and very responsive to my situation. I had a lining too thin for a transfer and they tried several things to fatten it up rather than abondoning the cycle.
However if you are looking for a place where the specialist remembers you and calls you personally then it is not the place for you. They have a very large client base and are unlikely to remember you unless you are quite unusual.
The FS do particular days in the surgery so you may not get 'your' FS doing the transfer. This didn't bother me but I know that some people don't like it.
Oh, and I saw Dr Rowlands. Good luck!
