One of the most common health problems people have is indigestion. As per ayurveda, the accumulation of ama or toxins leads to an imbalance in the way the small and large intestines functions along with various other participating organs like the liver and more. And this is the rootcause for indigestion.
The digestive tract or system is one of the most important organs of the body. Indigestion usually occurs because of bad daily habits less physical activity.
There are many ways to treat to indigestion in an ayurvedic way. Let us look at the top tips for the same:
Timely intake of meals: for better digestion, one must take meals at the same time everyday. Also, do not sit down for the next meal before the previous meal has been digested properly.
Sleep: sleep is a major factor that cure stress and creates a balance of sorts in one's routine, thus aiding proper digestion.
Aloe vera: an ounce of aloe vera juice a day will keep indigestion away. Break off, a leaf and scoop some gel into a smoothie for smooth digestion.
Turmeric: haldi or turmeric helps in reducing bloating and is one of the most commonly used spices found in ayurveda. This spice is a staple in indian cooking as well, where pretty much all dishes are seasoned with cooked turmeric
Triphala: this combination of three fruits ensures that your digestive system remains in good working condition.
Hingvastak churna bet ween meal with deshi ghee is help ful to gastritis indigestion flatulance
Lavanbhaskar churan with sankh bhasm help to reduce abdomen pain due to indigestion.
Health benefits of ghee
Energy booster: the wide range of fats that compose ghee include medium-chain fatty acids, which are very useful for the body and can be processed by the liver and burnt as energy, not passing into adipose tissue or contributing to weight gain. For athletes or other people with active, high-energy lifestyles, ghee can provide the necessary burst of energy that you might need to get through a particularly challenging day!
Allergy issues: since ghee is dairy-free (having had all of the dairy residue simmered off), lactose intolerant individuals or those who cannot consume butter are free to enjoy the flavorful treat of "butter" in the form of ghee without worrying about the gastrointestinal problems that normally follow.
Heart health: although most people associate butter with fat and a decline in heart health, the rich variety of fats in ghee can also provide a healthy boost to the heart. Omega-3 fatty acids can help decrease your levels of unhealthy cholesterol and provide an energetic balance to your fat intake.
Reduce inflammation: ghee possesses butyric acid, which is one of the most beneficial short-chain fatty acids that the body needs. Butyric acid has been shown, in recent research, to actually decrease inflammation in parts of the body, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract, and is now a recommended dietary addition for some people with ulcerative colitis. Furthermore, ghee enemas have long been used in traditional medicine for inflammation of all kinds.
Antioxidant activity: the health benefits of vitamin a are widely publicized and the power of carotenoids in terms of eliminating free radicals in the body are extremely valuable. When you add the antioxidant capacity of conjugated linoleic acid and butyric acid to the power of vitamin a contained in ghee, you have a powerful anti-cancer substance that could help reduce oxidative stress throughout the body.
Eye health: the significant levels of vitamin a in ghee make it ideal for protecting eye health. Carotenoids are antioxidants that specialize in eliminating and neutralizing the free radicals that attack the macular cells, thereby preventing macular degeneration and the development of cataracts.
Immune system booster: butyric acid, perhaps the most important element in ghee, has also been linked to the stimulation of t-cell production, which are the heavy-hitting cells of the immune system. In other words, ghee can supercharge your immune system in addition to all of its other health benefits!
A final word of warning: all of the benefits mentioned above make ghee sound like an ideal substitute for butter; however, as mentioned a number of times, ghee is made purely of fat, so excessive consumption of ghee can dramatically change your fat intake and can act as a negative dietary choice. Be careful about your intake and study the fat content of the ghee you choose to consume. Also, speak to your medical professional to ensure that your fitness level can handle a shift to a higher fat diet.
1. Pack it in advance
At the moment, food is still allowed in all forms of transportation (plane, bus, train, boat) so use it to your advantage by packing easy to-go meals and snacks to keep in your carry on. If you are traveling through the airport, all foods must be wrapped, packed, or contained. Also, the no liquid over 3.5 ounces rule applies here so leave dressings, sauces, or creamy substances at home if they are greater than said amount.
Here are 7 healthy travel snack examples:
1) Dried fruit and nut mix – Mix your favorite combo and throw them into the perfectly portioned snack bags. Some of my favorites are pistachios (shelled) and dried cranberries or raisins and almonds. For a lower calorie, crunchier option, add a high fiber cereal (6gm of fiber, 8gm of sugar) 2) nut butter sandwich – choose your favorite and slap it between 2 slices of 100% whole wheat or whole grain bread. I love justin's nut butter travel packs as an option too.
3) Fruit – Make it easy by throwing a portable fruit in your bag. Apples and bananas are great go-tos for this.
4) Turkey sandwich – Try a low-sodium turkey breast (nitrate/nitrite-free is also a great choice) on 100% whole wheat or whole grain bread with your favorite mustard. Hint: adding mustard in between turkey slices will prevent soggy bread.
5) Veggies slices – If you don't have the time to cut them, buy them pre-cut and throw them into a sandwich bag. Here's an article on the best healthy snacks for the office that can also make a great travel snacks.
6) A health food bar – Choose ones that are made from whole and minimally processed ingredients and at least 8 grams of protein. Also, watch the sugar in these bars. Try to aim for less than 12 grams of sugar per bar. Some of my favorites include kindbar protein plus, think thin, nugo bar, oskri bar, clif mojo, the good bar, luna, luna protein, and simply bar.
7) Protein powders – These are great if you have a re-usable water bottle. Throw powder in with water or skim milk and you've got a great treat. Tera's whey and vega offer great to-go packs!
If you are traveling by car, bring a cooler. This will expand your options tremendously!
2. Buy it on your way:
If you weren't able to pack in advance, which is ideal, you can make the right choice when purchasing food at the airport, train station, gas station, or bus station. A few items that are available at most terminals and stations are:
Turkey or chicken sandwich
Nonfat or lowfat yogurt and fruit
Nuts mixed in nonfat or lowfat yogurt
Salads (with dressing on the side)
Trail mixes (without added sugary candies and chocolate)
Water (don't go for sugar beverages, just don't!)
3. Look around
Most of us rush to the station or terminal to sit and wait. Instead of going to the first vendor, use that time to look around at your options (and get some exercise). There has been a huge trend toward offering healthier options in almost all travel areas including airport terminals, bus stations, rest stops, and train stations. I know it isn't perfect everywhere, but if you pack what you can, you can make it work!
4. Call ahead
If you are on a flight that will be serving meals, call the airline ahead of time. Most airlines will accommodate your health needs by offering meals that are lowfat, vegetarian, gluten-free, low sodium, etc. Or, opt out of airplane food all together by packing your own meal.
5. Stay mindful
Who wants indigestion, an upset stomach, or low energy when traveling? eating unhealthy foods while traveling may be easy, but it won't make traveling fun. Keep this in mind when perusing your options.
6. Stay hydrated
It is important to stay hydrated while traveling, which is especially important on long flights. We feel most comfortable when humidity is around 50% – meaning the air is 50% saturated with water. Air in an airline cabin can fall to as low as 1% on long flights.
Dehydration can lead to headaches, muscle cramps, fatigue, and reduced concentration. Water and herbal teas are great ways to keep you going. If you are prone to upset stomachs or nausea, bring along a few herbal tea bags such as ginger or chamomile.
7. Smart restaurant choices
These can make or break a diet. Think about the same things you would if you were home:
Take a look at the menu online or ahead of time, if available.
Choose meat and fish items that are steamed, broiled, baked, grilled, poached or roasted.
Choose vegetables that have been steamed over sautéed or fried.
Ask for dressing accompaniments on the side such as dressing, sour cream, cheese, and mayonnaise.
Limit alcohol – I would suggest not doing this while you are in travel, especially if you are driving. If you have other modes and must partake, go for a glass of wine; lite beer; or a small a liquor with club soda, water, or on the rocks.
Trying to conceive from last 3 months but unable to get pregnant. But in these 3 months 1-2 days prior to period some brown clot is coming out n then periods comes. Also 4-5 days prior to period I am feeling very cold. 2-3 days prior to period I feel like doing lot of sex or love. If in case if anybody is getting pregnant then is there any white discharge every day or only during ovulation? It will be mine 3 years of marriage but except last 3 times ,we were not using any condom or contraceptive pills still why I am not getting pregnant. My periods are regular. Cycle is of 25 days. No medical issues.
An STD is transmitted by means of physical contact and intercourse. These diseases are caused by parasites, virus or bacteria. Usually, STDs are preventable provided you make the right choices concerning your sexual health. Refraining from sex isn't a feasible idea at all.
But fortunately there are alternatives too to curb the menace that STDs are:
- Abstain: The most effective way to avoid STIs is to abstain from sex.
- Mutual monogamy: Two people who have sex only with one another don't have any opportunity to bring a new STD into the relationship. If you and your partner have been tested and are healthy, remaining faithful to each other is a very good way to reduce your chances of contracting an STD.
- Get Vaccinated: One important prevention tool against STIs is vaccination. Currently, vaccines are available to protect against infection with HPV, hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Talk to your healthcare provider to see which vaccines might be recommended for you.
- Protect Yourself: Condoms work really well in stopping most STIs from being passed from an infected partner to another when they are used consistently and correctly every time a person has oral, vaginal or anal sex. Consistently and correctly means that a person makes sure they use a condom every time they have oral, vaginal or anal sex and put it on and use it the right way.
- Avoid alcohol and drug use: Avoiding alcohol and recreational drug use reduce the risk of contracting an STI, having an unwanted pregnancy, or being coerced to have sex. Alcohol and drug use can reduce our ability to make good decisions. It may also make us more likely to be talked into participating in an activity without being able to give our full consent.
Coping and Support
It's traumatic to find out you have an STI. You might be angry if you feel you've been betrayed or ashamed if there's a chance you infected others. At worst, an STI can cause chronic illness and death, even with the best care in the world.
Between those extremes is a host of other potential losses trust between partners, plans to have children, and the joyful embrace of your sexuality and its expression. If in doubt, don't hesitate to visit a skin specialist or a physician.
Childbirth is a very strenuous procedure, one has to undergo. Just like pregnancy, vaginal childbirth can take a toll on your health. But, there are certain simple tips and tricks you can have up your sleeves which can ensure you stay in optimal health post child birth.
Listed below are a few steps one can undertake to take care of your body after childbirth:
A healthy meal: Since childbirth, both vaginal and C-section, are strenuous procedures, you should choose to eat healthy and balanced meal which provides your body with the necessary nutrients and energy. Since, you are also breast-feeding, you need the required nutrients to pass off to your child.
Good rest is a must: You need to sleep on time and rest to relax your body. If you do not rest enough, you will be able to see the negative effects on your skin, manifesting in the form of puffy eyes and reduced energy levels. This puts extra strain on your body. Hire a nanny if you must; but, make sure you sleep on time to give your body the desired rest.
Work-out: You definitely cannot work-out in full flow after you have just had a child as your body is still healing. However, what you can do is engage in mild forms of Yoga stretches and breathing exercises to relax your body. Working out will help you relax your muscles and lose the fat, your body has gained during pregnancy. It also releases 'endorphins', the 'happy hormones' which make you feel better, both physically and psychologically.
Drink a lot of fluids: It is advisable for you to consume fluids after childbirth. The fluids relieve your body from toxin build-up and help in detoxifying and relaxing your body. Opt for vitamin based drinks and smoothies which impart sufficient nutrition to your body.
Heal your perineum: The best way to take care of your perineum is by cleaning it with lukewarm water and a few drops of aromatherapy oils or bath salts. Invest in a hazel pad if required as the gentle squirts of water help in cleaning the bacteria and blood off your perineum.
PCOS or polycystic ovary syndrome is an endocrine disorder in women, in which the female hormones, progesterone and estrogen, are imbalanced. This imbalance leads to the formation of cysts (benign masses) in the ovaries. PCOS tends to affect your heart functions, fertility, menstrual cycle and appearance.
There are certain symptoms, which can be indicative of PCOS; these symptoms tend to begin as a woman's menstrual cycle starts. In certain cases, however, PCOS may also affect a woman in her mid age. PCOS can also cause excessive hair growth in unwanted places like above the upper lip,chin,arms and chest like a male.
The symptoms are:
- Increase in the production of male hormone, leads to development of male characteristics
- The size of the breasts may reduce
- The tone and the texture of the voice may change and become similar to a man's voice
- Hair may start to fall
- You may suffer from acne and pimple breakouts on your face
- It can lead to sudden weight gain
- It may affect a woman's fertility
- It may lead to pain in the pelvis
Other symptoms: Apart from these symptoms, a woman may also experience other health complications such as high levels of bad cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Causes: The causes of PCOS are not well known, however, the likely causes are genetics and hormonal complications. If someone in the family has PCOS, then the risk of being affected by PCOS rises significantly. The other likely cause is the overproduction of the male hormone androgen in the female body. Although androgen is a male hormone, the female body also produces it in trace amounts. However, in some cases, when it is overproduced, it might impair the ovulation process.
Diagnosis and Treatment: Once the condition is diagnosed, there are certain treatments, which are recommended for the patient. The condition in itself does not have a cure, but the symptoms can only be controlled. Medications to control the androgen levels in the female body may be administered if you have androgen hormone complication. A balanced diet and an exercise regimen can be chalked out to control body weight and regulate blood sugar levels. If PCOS leads to ovulation problems, then medications to facilitate ovulation may be advised.

Lung capacity (or total lung capacity) refers to the total volume of air contained in the lungs after one complete inhalation and is a direct summation of your respiratory capacity and residual capacity (the amount you inhale and the amount your lungs can keep). A diminished lung capacity can stem from a number of conditions such as asthma, emphysema, lung cancer, or from bad habits such as excessive smoking. This, however, can be combated by a number of means.
1. Breathing exercises:
- Deep breathing: Research has shown, that taking long deep breaths, which basically encompasses inhaling for as long as possible and holding your breath for about 15-20 seconds can work wonders in increasing lung capacity if it can be carried out several times a day.
- Splashing water on your face: Splashing water on your face while holding breath lowers the heart rate, and prepares the body in the same way as if you were about to go swimming. This will automatically increase your lung's capacity to hold air.
- Try meditation: Closing your eyes and meditating for long periods may also prove to be beneficial. The lesser the amount of energy that you expend, the more air the lungs can hold.
2. Physical exercises:
- Engage in rigorous cardiovascular activities: Increased cardiovascular exercising, including aerobics, running, cycling is very useful, as it pushes your body to exhaustion, thus forcing your lungs to work harder - in turn, increasing its capacity.
- Increase water-based exercises: Swimming or exercising in water is very beneficial for the body as it adds an element of resistance to your training regime and overworks your lungs to supply enough oxygen, making them work better.
- Try exercising at higher elevations: This often works as a foolproof way of increasing lung capacity. Higher altitudes have lower oxygen supply. Thus, overworking your lungs by engaging in intense workouts can be very beneficial for your lungs.
3. Long-term training exercises:
- Increase your resistance: Breathe in high quantities of air, and take time before releasing it completely and do it very slowly. This forces your lungs to hold air longer, thus stretching them out.
- Overwork your brain: Try to breathe in extra - more than what you normally do. This forces your brain to work overtime to make sure that the lungs have the capacity to take in that excess air. This will greatly increase lung capacity in the long run. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a pulmonologist.
Hysterectomy is a procedure that is used to treat a wide variety of conditions. A partial hysterectomy is performed for the removal of the uterus whereas a myomectomy is performed for the removal of the fibroids. A complete hysterectomy is performed in order to remove the uterus and the cervix. With hysterectomy, there comes some critical and sensitive topic that needs to be discussed with the surgeon. Here is a list of top 10 things that need to be known about hysterectomy:
- The sex life concern: Unlike common apprehension, hysterectomy doesn't necessarily mean the end of sex life. In the worst case scenario where the cervix is removed, it takes around 6 weeks before one can resume the sex life.
- Hysterectomy can't cure endometriosis: Endometriosis is a condition that is characterised by menstrual cramp, painful intercourse and chronic pain. Hysterectomy is not the first line of treatment for a condition like this. If any doctor has suggested it, it makes sense to take a second opinion.
- Hysterectomy doesn't mean menopause: This procedure doesn't mean a menopause or an inability to get pregnant. There are certain other misconceptions such as getting night sweats, hot flashes and menstrual cramp etc. On the contrary, a well-performed procedure will ensure that a person doesn't feel a thing after the surgery.
- The loss in ovaries: Depending on the condition of a patient, a doctor might remove the fallopian tube, uterus and ovaries. It necessarily means a sudden loss of oestrogen and progesterone hormone abruptly. Both this hormone are critical for bone and sexual health. It might also lead to menopause, decreased urge in sex and hot flashes during the night. It is therefore very important to discuss each and every aspect of the procedure before the surgery begins.
- Hormonal therapy: Since the removal of ovaries is likely to cause physical discomfort to the body, hormonal therapy can come to the rescue of an individual. Hormonal therapy can curtail the risk of blood clot formation, heart diseases, stroke etc.
- Explore other non-surgical options: Hysterectomy is not the last word for any uterus or ovary related problems. The goal is to keep the uterus intact. There are certain less evasive procedures to save ovaries and uterus. This is where multiple opinions come handy.
- Less invasive options: There exist less invasive surgeries for treatment related to uterus and ovaries. For instance, a robotic hysterectomy causes far less pain as compared to traditional procedure. It also ensures less loss of blood from the system resulting in less weakness.
- The morcellation technique: In case a uterus has to be removed, doctors these days use a process known as morcellation. The latter involves making small cuts into various places of the uterus in order to bring it out. The false apprehension of this process causing cancer cells in the body is not true. Only if a patient is suffering from a particular kind of cancer, it might spread to other parts of the body. A doctor has to be consulted to assure such a thing doesn't happen.
- Cancer apprehension: For people facing a gene defect such as BRAC1 and BRAC2 hysterectomy can reduce the chance of ovarian cancer by a good 80 percent.
- Physiological healing post hysterectomy: Although physical healing takes no more than 6 weeks after the procedure, the emotional healing might take some time. It makes sense to seek professional help for postoperative depression.

2016 Exemplary Awards Program Winner
Congratulations to the Greenville County (South Carolina) Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws Coalition for receiving the 2016 Exemplary Award for Innovative Substance Abuse Prevention Programs, Practices, and Policies!
Greenville County (South Carolina) Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) Coalition
In late 2011 to early 2013, the Greenville County (South Carolina) Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) Coalition led community efforts during a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) demonstration grant. The Coalition worked throughout Greenville County with a primary goal to deny alcohol to individuals under 21 years old utilizing a multi-pronged approach. In previous research, high visibility enforcement campaigns (HVE) are an evidence-based approach that has demonstrated effectiveness in the areas of increased seat belt usage and decreased alcohol-related crashes. The HVE approach combines multiple waves of strict enforcement with strong media messages occurring at each enforcement wave. Researchers have shown that HVE reduces the issues associated with underage drinking and adult provision of alcohol to youth. The strategic plan developed by the Greenville Coalition for the grant merged source investigation with HVE waves occurring throughout the project period. The primary evaluation conducted by the Coalition focused on using community-specific monthly times-series data measures to compare pre-HVE mean alcohol crash data to post-HVE mean alcohol crash data. Results indicated that crashes for < 21 year olds decreased 11.8% while the control group (21+ year olds) in alcohol crashes increased 19.4% during the project period. The program outcomes suggest the HVE/source investigation approach holds significant promise to reduce the harms of underage drinking in communities.

2015 Exemplary Award Program Winners
Congratulations to the following programs for receiving a 2015 Exemplary Award for Innovative Substance Abuse Prevention Programs, Practices, and Policies:
MATFORCE: Strategies to Address Prescription Drug Abuse in Yavapai County (Arizona)
MATFORCE, the Yavapai County Substance Abuse Coalition in central Arizona, has been addressing prescription drug abuse since 2010. For the past five years, Coalition and community members implement comprehensive action plans based on the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) model and engage hundreds of citizens in the work needed to sustain a multi-systemic approach for addressing prescription drug misuse and abuse. The imitative focuses on five strategies: 1) Reduce access to prescription drugs; 2) Educate prescribers and pharmacists about "Rx drug best practices;" 3) Enhance prescription drug practice and polices in law enforcement; 4) Increase public awareness about the risks of prescription drug misuse; and 5) Build resilience in children and adults. As a result of Coalition efforts, Yavapai County has witnessed substantial decreases in prescription drug problems.
Community Culture of Responsible Choices (Missouri)
The Community Culture of Responsible Choices (CCoRC) initiative, implemented from 2006-2015 in Johnson County, Missouri, was designated to reduce underage and high-risk drinking among Air Force Personnel stationed at Whiteman Air Force Base (AFB) in Johnson County, Missouri. The target population for the initiative was the approximately 700 Whiteman AFB personnel aged 18-26 years old. Based on a needs assessment, three primary problem areas were identified: 1) Driving While Intoxicated; 2) Underage Consumption of Alcohol; and 3) High-Risk Drinking. By implementing a modification of the Community Trials Program, the CCoRC Coalition built a strong, multi-agency coalition. Through implementation of enforcement operations, alcohol-free activities, and an innovative, comprehensive education campaign for Whiteman AFB, this project resulted in significant reductions in the three primary problem areas.
ICAN Be the Change (Arizona)
Since 2006, ICAN Be the Change has operated grassroots evidence-based prevention programs that have deterred neighborhood kids from involvement in risky behaviors and preventing youth substance abuse in the City of Chandler, Arizona. In this area, youth and families experience significant poverty and other risk factors, including easy access to drugs and alcohol, high rates of use, exposure to violence and family conflict, low community attachment and commitment to school, and favorable attitudes toward drug and alcohol use/abuse. The initiative focuses on preventing underage drinking, marijuana use, and illegal use of prescription drugs. Evaluation results reveal improvements in critical protective factors; increased participation of adults and family members in prevention activities with their children and communication about underage drinking and substance use risks; decreased alcohol signage in the community; and reduced party citations and alcohol use among 10th graders.
Diversion Alert (Maine)
Diversion Alert (DA) is a statewide program in Maine that links prescribers, pharmacists, and law enforcement in their efforts to confront prescription drug abuse. The Diversion Alert Program became a resource for prescribers in the county by increasing awareness of patients abusing or diverting prescriptions so that medical professionals could more effectively respond to and treat patients struggling with addiction; increasing awareness of the magnitude of prescription drug abuse as a means to increase health care providers' readiness to change prescribing behaviors; delivering a resource that is easy to use; increasing access to educational resources about responding to prescription drug abuse and diversion; and developing a strategy to link health care providers and law enforcement in their efforts to tackle prescription drug abuse and diversion. Evaluation results demonstrate significant improvements in health care professionals' communication and collaboration with patients and increased their attentiveness to prescribing practices.

Adirondack adventure before we reached the park
... up and over the dam to further explore,but I wasn't having a good day so I paddled back towards camp. Traveling in this direction the light was exquisite. It gave the shoreline its full measure of color and fortunately at that moment, the wind had settled down to allow a perfect reflection on the water's surface. Easily my best photo of the day!
After Shar returned, we had lunch and then did a 2 mile hike up Sawyers mountain ...

We rode the chairlift up to the big lift, then took an elevator up to the top where the skiers jump from. We will have a totally different ...

Chris wanted to know what was for dessert. I was happily sated and didn't miss it. We watched a movie and wished we hadn't bothered to stay up to finish it. Needed to be ready to get up early enough to fit in a paddling trip before I left for home.

I ALWAYS cut back my perennials for winter. The first year I did not cut them
back - I thought the dead stuff sticking out of the snow would make neat
photo's - another of my hobbies... But I was disappointed and have cut them
back since.. I just throw all the cuttings on the compost pile.. The other
thing I found was that it's easier to plant your spring bulbs between your
perennials - I leave some of the stubble on the plants so I can tell where NOT
to dig.. I also add lots of organic material when I am planting spring
bulbs... And lastly, I tend to NOT be the first one in the garden in the
spring (it takes me a while to get rolling) so spring cleanup was more tedious
since new growth is present and you must be much more careful where you step
in the spring than in the fall.
Having said al that, and being new to the hosta gardening hobby, I will let
all of the oak leaves that fall on my hosta beds stay there since all but a
few of my hostas are just first year plants. I am trying to help them through
their first Minn-E-Sota winter, some of which can be pretty cold..

Rüsselsheim/Berlin. And the winner is: The Opel Astra. Opel's new compact class star was recognized at the Oscars of the automotive industry in Berlin yesterday evening and won the "Golden Steering Wheel" in the compact class. The Astra has only been at dealers since mid-October and has now already reaped this important award making it a true high-flyer. Opel Group CEO Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann and CMO Tina Müller attended the ceremony in the Axel-Springer-Haus, with Dr. Neumann accepting the award on behalf of Opel. The "Golden Steering Wheel" is awarded jointly by Auto Bild and Bild am Sonntag. A jury consisting of readers, experts and celebrities such as racing legend Walter Röhrl pick the best newcomers of the year after extensive test drives.
"The most important award for the best Opel we have ever built! And the most important car in our product portfolio. We at Opel can be extremely proud of this 'Golden Steering Wheel'. It proves that all of our efforts have paid off. The new Astra is synonymous for lightweight, highly efficient engines, a better packaging, features from the luxury class, trendsetting connectivity and exemplary quality," said a jubilant Dr. Neumann at the award ceremony.
Opel's CMO Tina Müller added: "Our new Astra is a high-flyer in every sense as seen in the quantum leap video. We have already received more than 40,000 orders for the new Astra. And now we have won this very special prize. We can all be delighted with it. Opel is somebody again – with the Astra as our guiding star!"
Opel and the "Golden Steering Wheel": All winners from Rüsselsheim
The new Opel Astra's win at the much-coveted 2015 Golden Steering Wheel Awards is the continuation of the Rüsselsheim-based carmaker's successful tradition in the competition, which started with the Opel Senator A in 1978, two years after the award was introduced, and includes 16 titles over five decades.
1978 – Opel Senator A: The first "Golden Steering Wheel"
In 1978, the brand with Blitz won its first "Golden Steering Wheel" with the Opel Senator. Presented at the IAA in September 1977, the Senator was the successor of the legendary Kapitän, Admiral and Diplomat models and was Opel's flagship until making its final bow in 1993. The 1978 Senator was available with three different engines – a 2.8-liter engine with 103 kW/140 hp, a 3.0-liter unit with 110 kW/150 hp and the top-of-the-range 3.0-liter engine with 132 kW/180 hp.
1979 – Opel Kadett D: The award-winning space wonder
One year later Opel was back on the top of the rostrum. The 1979 Kadett D was the first ever Opel compact class car with front-wheel drive and delivered the company's second "Golden Steering Wheel". Thanks to the transverse engines and a missing flexible drive shaft it offers the passengers amble space despite compact dimensions and it being
126 mm shorter than its predecessor. In addition, the Kadett saw the introduction of new engines with overhead camshaft. The four-cylinder 1.3-liter OHC engine generated 44kW/60 hp or 55 kW/75 hp. In addition to the spacious station wagon with a load volume of up to 1,425 liters, Opel offered two different fastback versions. In January 1983, the sporty Kadett GTE followed, with a top speed of 187 km/h and equipped with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that developed 115 hp.
1981 – Opel Ascona C: Good things come in threes
In 1981, it was the Opel Ascona C's turn to bring home the goods for the Rüsselsheim-based automaker. It was the first Opel middle class car with front-wheel drive and available as a notchback and a station wagon. The Ascona C was available with gasoline engines ranging from 1.3 to 1.6 liters and a 1.6-liter diesel unit.
1982 – Opel Corsa A: Small car, huge impact
Only 12 months later, in 1982, a brand-new Opel model took the "Golden Steering Wheel" awards by storm – the Corsa A. Opel's first ever small car featured close-coupled proportions within a short length of just 3.62 meters. It had bold, flared wheel-arches like a rallye car and an exceptionally low drag coefficient of 0.36, which was possibly record-breaking for its class. The Corsa A was designed to appeal to 'the man of the house' in particular. The highlight was the 72 kW/98 hp Corsa GSi. The two-door hatch and notchback line-up was expanded in 1985 with the addition of the popular five-door model. The Corsa A became a highly acclaimed top seller with 3.1 million units built.
1984 – Opel Kadett E: Another compact class winner
Five years after winning the "Golden Steering Wheel" for the first time, the Kadett took pole position again with its new generation launched in 1984. The second front-wheel drive Kadett, built from 1984 to 1991, was an absolute winner and also took the 1984 "Car of the Year" Award. Furthermore, the Kadett is rated as an aerodynamics champion. The sporty GSi, with a Cd of 0.30 stunned the experts and even the normal hatchback sedan achieved a sensational value of 0.32. In total, the aerodynamics champions was sold 3.779.289 times.
1987 – Opel Senator B: In for a penny, in for a pound
The Opel Senator B also managed to repeat the success of its predecessor. Based on the rear-wheel drive Opel Omega, the new flagship mainly comes with six-cylinder engines with the smooth 3-liter in-line engine with 115 kW/156 hp leading the way. You could place a coin on its edge in the engine compartment without it falling over when the engine was running. Later, a 4-valve version of the 6-cylinder engine with Dual-Ram variable intake system and hearty 150 kW/204 hp is introduced.
1990 – Opel Calibra: The athlete shines
A true champion wins the "Golden Steering Wheel" in 1990: A breathtaking coupé with a record-breaking drag coefficient of 0.26! The Calibra was available with powerful engines ranging from 85 kW/115 hp to 150 kW/204 hp. The Opel Calibra Turbo with all-wheel drive and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 6.8 seconds was the icing on the cake. A V6 engine with 125 kW/170 hp rounds off the offer. In motorsports, a Calibra V6 wins the touring car crown by taking the ITC in 1996.
1994 – Opel Omega B: The big car takes gold
The second edition of the Omega left a special impression on the jury. The dynamic design, the extensive amount of space and the new V6 engines with alloy cylinder heads and up to 155 kW/210 hp hit the taste of the experts. The new airbag systems ensured a high level of safety for all occupants. The station wagon version boasted sheer endless loading capacity making it the ideal car for families and artisans alike, whereas the notchback version is classed a representative business sedan.
1995 – Opel Vectra B: Mirror, mirror, on the door
The Opel Vectra's most eye-catching feature are the aerodynamically shaped door mirrors that form a harmonic unity with the front of the car. It is a feature the "Golden Steering Wheel" jury cannot resist either. The Vectra also wins because of its new and efficient gasoline engines ranging from 1.6 to 2.6 liters and with outputs between 55 kW/75 hp and 125 kW/170 hp. Elsewhere, the direct injection diesel engines with displacements ranging from 1.7 to 2.2 liters delivering exemplary consumption celebrated their debut.
1999 – Opel Zafira A: The quick-change artist with seven seats
Who invented it? Opel! Yes, the compact van that can be turned from a complete seven-seater into a transporter with impressive maximum load volume (1,700 liters max.) in a flash (in only 15 seconds!) without removing a single seat is a Rüsselsheim brainchild. The formula is called Flex7 and it helps the Zafira win the "Golden Steering Wheel in 1999". Thanks to the ingenious concept, the seats disappear into the vehicle floor when necessary. The flexible space wonder also impresses with compact dimensions and outstanding driving dynamics.
2002 – Opel Vectra C: The master electrician
The third generation Vectra successful defended the title won by its predecessor by winning gold yet again. The new middle class car enters the electronic age, connects its systems via a CAN (Controller Area Network) bus instead of via a cable harness, and comes with electrohydraulic power steering. Outputs of the gasoline and diesel engines ranged from 74 kW/100 hp to 206 kW/280 hp with displacements ranging from 1.6 to 3.2 liters. In 2004, Opel also fitted the Vectra with the IDS Plus active suspension with Continuous Damping Control (CDC), which ensures that the dampers adapt to the current driving situation.
2005 – Opel Zafira B: Completing the golden dozen
The second generation Zafira continues to set the standards with a further development of the Flex7 seating system and wins the "Golden Steering Wheel" again. Furthermore, it is also classed as the fastest van on the planet when the OPC version with 177 kW/240 hp completed a lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 8:54:38 minutes. 240 powerful horses under the hood and an outstanding performance handling system help achieve this record-breaking time.
2009 - Opel Astra J: The compact designer piece
In 2009, the Astra J, a true designer piece, followed in the footsteps of the Kadett D space wonder and the Kadett E aerodynamics champions, securing Opel's third "Golden Steering Wheel" compact class title. The Astra follows Opel's new design philosophy 'Sculptural artistry meets German precision'. In additional, the Astra J comes with modern assistance systems such as the Opel Eye or the AFL+ headlamp system that can see around corners. The FlexRide adaptive technology helps it adapt to the current driving situation and front-seat ocupants can enjoy the ride in AGR-certified (Campaign for healthy backs) seats.
2010 – Opel Meriva B: So clever, so compact, so golden
The Zafira's little brother strikes gold in 2012 with the Meriva B underlining Opel's van expertise. The jury is convinced by the versatile FlexSpace rear-seating system and the innovative rear-hinged rear door system. The FlexDoors allow easy access to small children in the rear and ensure that tall people do not struggle to gain access. The engine portfolio offers amble power while curbing consumption thanks to downsizing and turbo-charging. Outputs range from 55 kW/75 hp to 103 kW/140 hp.
2012 – Opel Zafira Tourer: The lounge on wheels
The Zafira is accompanied by a premium partner in the Zafira Tourer and immediately wins another "Golden Steering Wheel". In addition to the flexible interior, the new boy impresses with lounge comfort, panorama glass sunroof and innovations such as radar-based speed control and emphatic Forward Collision Alert. The new frugal diesel with outstanding endurance for long distance driving is called 2.0 CDTI and delivers 121 kW/165 hp. The 1.6 CNG turbo ecoFLEX (110kW/150hp) later goes on to win the award for the most environmentally friendly vehicle in the van segment three years in a row (2013 to 2015).
2015 – Opel Astra K: The quantum leap
And the winner is: The new Astra is based on a completely new lightweight vehicle architecture, is powered exclusively by latest-generation engines and enables ultra-modern connectivity via smartphone integration and the groundbreaking personal connectivity and service assistant Opel OnStar. The new Astra also continues Opel's tradition of introducing features previously only known from higher segments into the compact segment. That results in the "2015 Golden Steering Wheel".

albin vega for cruising?
I have read that the Albin Vega makes a great cruising boat. Though it seems a little tight being a 27'' boat with an 8'' beam, they do seem solid enough. Has anyone done any serious offshore cruising in one of these and, if so, what improvements to the boat/rigging, and etc. do you recommend? Thanks!
albin vega for cruising?
You may want check the Albin Vega newsgroup at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AlbinVega/
The newsgroup appears active there is also a lot of information on the web most in Swedish but also quite a bit in English.
While not an ideal boat by modern standards, there have been a fair number of offshore voyages in the Vega - perhaps the best known in North America is that of John Neal in the Mahina. See his site at: http://www.mahina.com/expbroch.html#anchor1043585
albin vega for cruising?
John''s referral to Log of the Mahina by John Neal is an excellent suggestion. First, it is a captivating story: a young going-nowhere college dropout 20-yr old sails from the Pacific NW to the deep South Pacific, most of it singlehanded, and returns with the skills and appreciation for a part of the globe that leads to him eventually becoming widely recognized & respected. Second, the book''s Appendix does a thorough if basic job of describing just how to set up the Vega - or any small sailboat - for offshore sailing across lots of water.
A Vega was our first boat but we sailed it out of Santa Barbara, CA and so each sail was off soundings and adjacent to unimproved islands, heavy afternoon winds being blown down the Channel, and far more meterology than you see further South. We cruised our boat to the islands and as far South as San Diego as a young family of three, and we found the boat an absolute joy as a sailing boat, and very functional - tho'' yes, also small and basic.
At the time we bought ours (1976), these boats were being sailed to the Caribbean by multiple young N European crews for a winter''s frolic and then a return back across the Atlantic. The only design or structural weakness I know of, setting aside the consequences of aging, is the mast support bulkhead. John Neal talks about this in depth after working the boat thousands of miles into Pacific head seas, but he''s the only one whom I''ve heard describe this problem.
Log of the Mahina is about $5-6 on Amazon.com. Dig into it and enjoy the read!

There was also a recent "Classic Plastic" article in Cruising World on the Vega. You might check their website or your library for the back issue.
Fair winds,
THese are great boats, can't go wrong. A bit tight, but it is economics in design and space. We bought ours for coastal cruising after having owned a much roomier Sabre 28'. Sabres are a great boat too...the Vegas are a wee bit more blue water built. Try to stay clear of the "Vari-prop" set ups or the old Vega 022 gas engines...they run OK when they work, but are a real BEAR to repair. Ours has the Volvo-Penta MD6A (10hp). Will someday repower with a BETA. Good luck in your search....you won't regret the Vega
Helpful sites:
For the moment I know one Albin Vega circumnavigating around the world.
Another one is leaving land in June 2007.
Both are swedish sites
In Sweden there´s a lot of Albin Vega sailingboats.
For sale in Sweden:
Wow, thanks for the blocket link. Is there a reason Vega's in Sweden seem so inexpensive compared to the other Vega's I have found for sale in Europe? The ones you provided on the link are running at about half the price of the ones I have seen in the UK and Germany.
No theres no special reason what I know, which reflect the price.
Possibly because they are closer to where they were made, so there are more of them?
Do the prices in Sweden include VAT? The prices in the UK & Germany will.
Sorry, you are crazy to cruise in a boat that small. Yes it is a great and seaworthy boat. But you will be out of space before you finish outfitting. Unless, of course, you are a minimalist. If so, more power to you. I just want more space, and more storage.

Tyres have often been a talking point this year and even though the season is over the bickering continues in regard to the round black rubbery things. Flat-spotted tyres, delaminating tyres, only one set of tyres; the list goes on. The World Motor Sport Commission announced this week that tyre changes during a race will return next season, which has provoked another bout of disagreement.
Some will be happy to see tyre changes back again as the one set of tyres for qualifying and race rule has often been criticized. However, Michelin declared itself to be "perplexed" by the reintroduction of the changes, which it said was "incoherent" with the cost-cutting objects of the FIA. It went on to say that the decision "reveals a lack of technical understanding of the product and of what a tyre really is."
The French manufacturer claimed the decision negated the effects of its research into designing tyres this season. "Michelin, therefore, questions the FIA's hidden motivations for the 2006 F1 regulation," it said in a statement. "Once again, this event illustrates the F1's problems of incoherent decision-making and lack of transparency."
In due course the FIA responded with a statement of its own, in which it claimed the decision to reintroduce tyre changes "was supported by an overwhelming majority of the Formula One Commission members and by a unanimous vote of the FIA World Motor Sport Council."
It concluded: "Michelin are clearly confused, but it is difficult to understand which part of the very basic and entirely democratic voting procedures adopted by the FIA that Michelin is perplexed by. As Michelin themselves point out this is the same regulation as in 2004 when, we must remind them, their tyres ran without problem at Indianapolis."
Perplexing, incoherent, confusing; it sounds like the new qualifying system. This is not the first time the FIA and Michelin have been involved in a war of words, most of the instances this season arising in the aftermath of Indianapolis. Next year the manufacturer will supply only five teams, Renault, McLaren, BAR Honda, BMW and Red Bull, while Williams and Toyota make the switch to Bridgestone.

It is the end of the year and we would like you to get to know the girls we have yet to discuss. We have two sisters, Moni and Ana Gaby, who have been a source of great satisfaction for our home. Moni, the youngest of our residents, has been quite a joy.
Moni is ten years old and is characterized by her happiness, unassuming and perseverant personality. In a recent psycho-educational evaluation, her skills were below average. Despite this, it was observed that she was eager, resolute to get ahead, and wanted to stand out. As a result of her being disciplined, determined, and motivated, Moni has done remarkably well in school, obtaining above-average grades. This has further reinforced her enthusiasm and good-nature. In her therapy, at home, at school with the teachers and friends, Moni is a young girl who is well-liked and quite popular.
Moni's sister, Ana Gaby, is 14 years old. Her situation is similar to Moni's in that she also has limited intellectual skills. With her discipline and tenaciousness, however, Ana Gaby has obtained average and above-average grades. She started Jr. High School with a solid academic record. After the first few months, however, Ana Gaby began to slacken off, and her GPA declined (although still within the average range). In our opinión this decline is the consequence of her current stage of development, the influence of many factors, such as making new friends which becomes more important tan getting good grades, the emerging hormonal changes, and a general lack of interest in school achievement.
Ana Gaby is a sweet girl, with a strong personality. She gives us the impression that she has a healthy level of self-confidence. The good relationship between the sisters strengthens each one and allows both to be relatively independent of the other, getting their own relationships.
Karla is the next girl to celebrate her 15th birthday. Her lack of motivation and interest in her schoolwork has increased recently. She has become some what disruptive in class and enjoys getting involved in everything, except her schoolwork. Karla is basically a manageable young lady, yet, in school she is every thing but compliant. We also expect that she will take advantage of the help and support that is continually available to her.
Mercedes is the second oldest young lady in the house, having recently had her sixteenth birthday. For us as Puerta Abierta, Mercedes is a source of pride. When she arrived, Mercedes was a difficult girl; isolated, mysterious, constantly dissatisfied, distrusting of and conflicting with the other girls. Mercedes also did not demonstrate much self-confidence. Her academic performance was considerably below par.
With patience, a constant search for the right school setting and therapy to help her with her socio-emotional issues, Mercedes has finally come into her own. At this moment, she is about to finish a special education program at the Jr high school. Not only is it note worthy her recent academic success, we have seen a marked improvement in her attitude, self-confidence, and her ability to integrate with her house mates. Mercedes' interest to continue her studies and start High School is quite admirable. Mercedes is growing and maturing nicely.
Juanita is 12 years old. She is unfortunately quite immature and is suffering considerably both academically and emotionally. Despite having had the necessary psycho-educational testing and having implemented the recommendations, improvements have been slow. Juanita, however, is an affectionate girl, and well-liked by adults. She has participated in a State-run chorus and has shown her self to be spontaneous and quite a natural. Juanita is also an excellent actress.
We believe that through art and kinesthesia, Juanita should be able to express her suppressed emotions. Time, affection, and a lot of patience should enable Juanita to make the same type of improvement as we observed with Mercedes.
Thank you all, for your constant support

Portraits and Power
An exhibition on the faces of power to The Strozzina in Florence
The Strozzina in Florence hosts until January 23rd 2011 an exhibition on the faces of power. A journey into portrait through the works of great artists and photographers
The list is long, very long. There are Queen Elizabeth II, Tony Blair and Margaret Thatcher. There are Fidel Castro, Pope John Paul II and Obama. But also three managing directors from the Deutsche Bank, a soldier of the French foreign legion, high-society New York and New England families, and the new Mexican social oligarchy. Such a rich guest list does not entail red carpets nor wild paparazzi. Because queens, heads of state and various holinesses are all shot by the skilful eye of great artists and photographers for the exhibition Ritratti al potere. Volti e meccanismi dell'autorità. (Portraits and Power. People, Politics and Structures).
La Strozzina, here the exhibition is hosted until January 23rd 2011, turns into the setting of a summit whose theme, or better, whose reason, is to visualize power as the expression of the charisma of single personalities that have become icons or symbols of our times.
There goes the hyper-realistic portrait of Fidel Castro, shot by Hiroshi Sugimoto: it is hard to believe, but it is true, that the líder máximo in the picture is actually a wax statue. Alive and kicking is Queen Elizabeth II portrayed by Annie Leibovitz in the White Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace. In this case the photographer has taken her cue from the discreet and inspiring pictures shots by Cecil Beaton to the Queen Mother in 1939. Helmut Newton's shots are obviously also showcased: in 1991 he photographed Margaret Thatcher, who, in Newton's opinion, represented the essence of the super-woman, powerful and domineering.
Among the numerous renowned faces, also some strangers are displayed, for our society the embodiment of power. New York high-society members as portrayed by Tina Barney, whose style is somewhere between tableau vivant and genre portrait. Clegg & Guttmann, instead, present their work The Board, Single/Group Portrait, featuring top managers from the Deutsche Bank, one of them also a member of the Bank's prominent cultural council. Less austere is the Luxury series by Martin Parr who, in a grotesque and extreme way, presents personalities belonging to the international jet set shot in different places around the world: from the art fair in Miami, to the horse races in Durban; from polo tournaments in Dubai, to the automotive exhibition in Beijing.
Going back over five-hundred years, still on the same theme, the unmissable painting exhibition of Bronzino, hosted on the Piano Nobile at Palazzo Strozzi until January 23rd 2011. Among the numerous masterpieces displayed, also a gallery of portraits, some of the most intense of Renaissance painting, picturing personalities such as Cosimo de' Medici's wife, Eleonora di Toledo, with son Giovanni, or Lucrezia Pucci Panciatichi.

static reflection – Method Guards
Another bit of magic with static reflection. Refer to my last post for a little more explanation of static reflection, and a sweet implementation (IMO) of INotifyPropertyChanged using static reflection.
In the past several years, on several projects, I've seen many lines of code at the beginning of public interface methods that look like:
public class WebServer { public void BootstrapServer(int port, string rootDirectory, string serverName) { if( rootDirectory == null ) { throw new ArgumentNullException( "rootDirectory" ); } if( serverName == null ) { throw new ArgumentNullException( "serverName" ); } // Bootstrap the server } }
I realize the need, since we don't have real DbC in .NET (yet), but I REALLY dislike this and feel it to be a pretty bad smell. It feels unDRY, obscures essence, and I just plain don't like it.
So, here is an implementation that makes it tolerable, if not enjoyable (because of the coolness of using static reflection), because I think it actually adds to the essence and overall readability of a given method.
This is what the above code can now look like:
public class WebServer { public void BootstrapServer( int port, string rootDirectory, string serverName ) { Guard.IsNotNull( () => rootDirectory ); Guard.IsNotNull( () => serverName ); // Bootstrap the server } }
And here is the implementation:
public static class Guard { public static void IsNotNull<T>(Expression<Func<T>> expr) { // expression value != default of T if (!expr.Compile()().Equals(default(T))) return; var param = (MemberExpression) expr.Body; throw new ArgumentNullException(param.Member.Name); } }
Lovin it! Hope you do too.
Why not just have a static "Validator" class?
public class Validator
public void IsNotNull(T item)
if(item == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(item);
if (!expr.Compile()().Equals(default(T)))
is something of a code smell in itself.
Good point well made! I apologise for the tone of my comment – rereading it, it is much more aggressive than I intended! Thanks for your interesting response.
Well played with the Guard Method. Do you take a performance hit each time the method is executed do to the expression needing to figure out the Name of the member? Is there a significant change in performance between passing in the name and the value? Very clever !
You should check out the Lokad shared libraries. They use Func and some IL digging instead of Expression<Func>. So it doesn't require the extra compilation to evaluation the argument.
Here's the post explaining how it works: http://abdullin.com/journal/2008/12/19/how-to-get-parameter-name-and-argument-value-from-c-lambda-v.html
Jon, I love this! I wanted exactly this, but didn't expect it to be possible in C#. Thanks. I blogged about this here: http://charlieflowers.wordpress.com/2009/04/01/elegant-appealing-parameter-validation-syntax-in-c-30/?preview=true&preview_id=33&preview_nonce=ac886be15c
I find this concept interesting, and wonder if it can be taken one step further. Instead of passing in a lambda of the parameter, is there a way to pass in a reference to the current function's param array, and validate them?
Excellent work getting this far however I did note that one failing was when calling Guard.IsNull with a string with a value of null it throws a NullReferenceException because of the fact that the default value T is String.Empty.
One way to handle this scenario would be to use reflection and Reflect on expr.Compile().Target.Globals[0].Value which happens to contain information on the given expression including the argument name, value and type however this does seem to defeat the whole purpose.
Example test code that produces the above results:
public void ShouldThrowArgumentNullExceptionWhenGivenStringWithNullValue()
const string rootDirectory = null;
const string serverName = null;
var server = new WebServer();
() => server.BootstrapServer(0, rootDirectory, serverName));

Durability. There are few things more coveted by coaches and athletes than the ability to perform every time the team takes the field. There is nothing more disastrous than an injury for a high level athlete. Ask anyone on a team, their number one fear is a catastrophic injury.

Cupcakes for breakfast and Pringles chips for snacks - these were hallmarks of my youth. Now, even though I still have a lot of time ahead of me (as I am a high school student-athlete), this nonetheless means that I spent a decade of my life gorging on fattening foods and growing complacent in the typical sedentary American lifestyle.

You'll notice that there are some martial arts that seem to cater to longevity, while others, sadly, promote a much shorter life or at least movement expectancy. A perfect example of this is to see an 80-year old Tai Chi practitioner compared to a Muay Thai fighter of the same age.

It was only about 15 years ago when the deadlift was vilified. If you coached your clients to perform the deadlift, you were almost considered an irresponsible trainer. Only the super hardcore, "crazy" lifters really did it!
By Greg LeMond and Dr. Mark Hom, M.D.
"Diet and exercise" have been the mantra of preventative health for decades, perhaps to the point of becoming cliché and disregarded. This well-intentioned advice to eat better and exercise more is not nearly specific enough to be useful. Furthermore, we think people should know why such recommendations are given, in order to take the advice to heart and as motivation for putting the plan into action.
by Frank Delventhal, RKC and PCC Instructor
Why do you like to train? What is your goal? Certainly most (younger) males train to look cool and to be attractive to women. Over time, that may change—at least it did for me, training became a way of life. It was fun to explore how far I could push the limits by doing more reps, or increasing the weights. I was sweating "just" to write higher numbers in my training notebook.
by Steve Di Tomaso, DVRT Master Instructor, CSCS
Struggling with communication doesn't have to be part of a workout, training is already hard enough. Since implementing the DVRT system in our programs, communication at all levels has become much easier!
It might be the MOST annoying saying in all of fitness. I have even heard some of the smartest and most accomplished strength coaches fall prey to it: "Weight is just weight, the body doesn't know the difference." At first glance, it makes a lot of sense! It reminds me of an old joke, "What weighs more, 1000 pounds of feathers or 1000 pounds of rocks?" Does science and the real world tell us anything otherwise?
By Troy Anderson, RKC Instructor and DVRT Master Instructor
Imagine being a pioneer traveling in a covered wagon across the vast expanses of the Great American West—with nothing more than your abilities and a few critical pieces of equipment. You are on a quest to build a better life for you and all the future generations of your family.

Eye on College Basketball Podcast: Doug McDermott leading POY race?
I sat down early Monday with Jeff Borzello and Matt Norlander to look back, look ahead and discuss a number of issues in the sport. Among them:
- Was Mike Krzyzewski smart to bench Jabari Parker in Duke's loss at Notre Dame?
- Can anybody remember another star player getting benched like that?
- Which upset from the weekend was the most surprising?
- Should Kansas still be the pick to win the Big 12?
- Is it time to remove Andrew Wiggins from Player of the Year consideration?
- How about the job San Diego State's Steve Fisher is doing?
- And what about Cincinnati's Mick Cronin?
- Was Connecticut's early resume misleading?
- Should Doug McDermott be the leading candidate for National Player of the Year?
- Why doesn't he get the same kind of attention that other POY candidates get?
- Should McDermott consider growing a mustache or something?
Beyond all that, we got into a pretty random (but hopefully interesting) conversation about cheating at the high-major level -- specifically why the rewards far outweigh any risks, and why more programs aren't caught cheating even though there's presumably lots of cheating going on. Also: BCS picks! Because, why not?

Former Louisville forward Jared Swopshire will transfer to Northwestern, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Swopshire, a 6-foot-8 forward, averaged 3.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 13.3 minutes in 39 games this past season for Louisville. He started 20 games and averaged 7.5 points and 6.1 rebounds as a sophomore, but missed the 2010-2011 season with a groin injury.
Swopshire will be eligible immediately for Northwestern; he will pursue a graduate degree unavailable at Louisville. He is expected to help Northwestern fill the void left by John Shurna.
Swopshire is from St. Louis and played in high school at IMG Academy in Florida.
Northwestern went 19-14 and reached the second round of the NIT this past season. The Wildcats will return four starters.
