EYSF supports Project YESS 2012
Giving teens leadership and sailing skills that will last a lifetime
In 2012 EYSF sponsored the Cleveland Rotary Club's Project YESS with funding to enable a local high school sophomore, Orlando Hopson spending a week sailing Lake Erie aboard the 198-foot US Brig Niagara, and climbing 100-plus foot masts.
The program, Project YESS (Youth Empowered to Succeed through Sailing), is a unique educational adventure that develops courage and confidence in teens. It teaches life lessons and the importance of participating in a community, whether on land or at sea. It is a summer program open to all teens from ages 13 to 17, but has a special focus on underprivileged youth.
"Most of our teens have not seen the lake up close, let alone a tall ship, and many have endured significant life challenges — from homelessness to losing siblings to gang violence," said Eileen Smotzer, chair for the Rotary Club's Project YESS Youth Services subcommittee. "Project YESS gets these talented young people out of their comfort zones and opens their eyes to our Great Lake's beauty and the career opportunities it has to offer."
Students receive 20 hours of classroom instruction, beginning with an 8-hour leadership boot camp, which helps with team building and sets the stage for future sailing sessions. Later classes focus on sailing knowledge and skills, such as water safety, celestial navigation, chart reading, and knot tying, as well as broader issues, such as the environment, Great Lakes resources, and maritime careers. Students also have the opportunity to participate in weekly practice sails to better prepare for their voyage.
The highlight of the program is always the week-long voyage. And this year's trip on the US Brig Niagara was no exception. The ship, led by Captain Wesley Heerssen, provided an exciting setting, and has local significance — it's the original, reconstructed flagship of Commander Oliver Hazard Perry, the hero of the Battle of Lake Erie.
"As soon as the kids came on board, they were literally full-blown working members of the ship." Smotzer said. "They slept in hammocks, assisted with the daily work, and even climbed the masts." Smotzer also stressed the "incredible growth" the teens experienced during the trip. "They lived in close quarters, which helped them understand how to work with others and take orders," she said. "It's amazing to see these kids develop more self-reliance and confidence as they achieve things they never thought they had in them."
In addition, as working crew-members, the teens learned that their actions directly impact their fellow shipmates – an important lesson they will take with them in their personal and professional lives.
Orlando Hopson, who attends John Adams High School, was a member of the 2012 Project YESS class. While initially a bit apprehensive because he didn't have any sailing know how, Orlando loved the experience and developed new friendships. "Everybody came from different backgrounds, but we all got along," he said. "Even though I live in the so-called 'hood,' and other kids had more money, it didn't matter. We became a real team and learned a lot from each other." One of his favorite experiences was "going aloft" and climbing the 100-plus feet masts, which he described as "always a little bit scary, but still so much fun."
Project YESS aims to have 25 teens participate each year. The Rotary Club of Cleveland and its generous sponsors fund all program costs.

Medicare Advantage market turns nursing homes into insurer business
A subset of Medicare Advantage plans are designed for people who require at least 90 days of skilled services from nursing homes or long-term care.
Around the country, a handful of nursing home companies have begun selling their own private Medicare insurance policies, pledging close coordination and promising to give clinicians more authority to decide what treatments they will cover for each patient.
These plans are recent additions to the Medicare Advantage market, where private plans have become an increasingly popular alternative to traditional fee-for-service coverage. Unlike other plans, these policies offered by long-term care companies often place a nurse in the skilled nursing facility or retirement village, where they can talk directly to staff and assess patients' conditions. Some provide primary care doctors and nurses to residents in the homes or in affiliated assisted living facilities or retirement villages with the aim of staving off hospitalizations.
"The traditional model is making decisions based on paper, and in our model, these decisions are being made by clinicians who are really talking to the staff and seeing the patient," said Angie Tolbert, a vice president of quality at PruittHealth, which began offering its plan to residents in 10 of its nursing homes in Georgia last year. "It's a big shift in mindset."
Not everyone finds such plans superior. Some patients who are in disputes with the insurers have faulted the nursing home staff -- who work for the same company -- for not helping challenge decisions about coverage. They complain that the company holds an unfair advantage over Medicare beneficiaries.
"There's a conflict there," said Toby Edelman, a senior attorney with the Center for Medicare Advocacy.
In an Erickson Living retirement village in Silver Spring, Md., Faith Daiak signed up for an Erickson Advantage plan sold by a nurse whose office was in the main village building, according to her son, J.J. Daiak. After a bout with the flu last February weakened her enough to need a 10-day hospitalization, she was sent to her village's skilled nursing facility. There, the insurer repeatedly tried to cut short her stay.
Erickson Advantage first said it would stop paying for Daiak, 88, because she wasn't getting healthier in the nursing facility. Her son appealed by pointing out that Medicare explicitly said as part of the 2014 settlement of a class-action lawsuit that patients do not have to be improving to qualify for skilled nursing care.
Daiak's appeal was denied, but the issue was sidelined in March when her rapid weight loss in the nursing home sent her back to the hospital, he said.
After Daiak returned to the nursing home with a feeding tube in her stomach, the insurer again tried to curtail her time there, saying she did not need that level of care. The family successfully appealed that decision after noting that Medicare's manual said feeding-tube maintenance required the skilled care of a nursing facility.
In April, Erickson Advantage again said it would not continue paying for Daiak's stay. It reversed that decision after Kaiser Health News asked the company about the case, J.J. Daiak said. He said the plan did not explain its turnaround.
While this Medicare Advantage plan touts its "team that knows you personally and wants to help," J.J. Daiak said he found the registered nurse at Erickson's Silver Spring community not helpful. "All I see is her trying to get Erickson out of having to pay for the nursing home," he said. He subsequently switched his mother to traditional Medicare coverage with a supplemental Medigap policy, which she had until this year.
Erickson Living, the parent company of the nursing home and insurer, declined to discuss individual cases but noted that Medicare has given its insurance plans the best quality rating of five stars. In a written statement, the company said that "medical service determinations for Erickson Advantage members are based on reviews by licensed clinical staff and clinical guideline criteria. Our primary focus is always on ensuring that the healthcare being provided for our residents matches a patient's needs and established clinical treatment protocols."
Edelman said the dispute was particularly troubling because Erickson's retirement villages are marketed on the promise that the company will care for seniors in all stages of aging. "They don't tell you what they won't pay for," she said.
Popular Alternative
There are nearly 18 million enrollees in the overall Medicare Advantage market. Medicare pays private insurers a set amount to care for each beneficiary. In theory, this payment method gives the insurers motivation to keep patients from needing costly medical services such as hospitalizations.
A subset of Medicare Advantage plans are designed exclusively for people who either require or are expected to require at least 90 days of skilled services from nursing homes, assisted living facilities or other long-term care institutions. UnitedHealthcare directly offers three-quarters of these plans with about 40,000 enrollees, far more than those offered by nursing home companies. Matthew Burns, a UnitedHealth spokesman, said the majority of the company's plans are rated four stars or better on Medicare's five-star quality scale.
"Our plans offer members quality and peace of mind -- and they are considered above average to excellent by CMS quality and performance standards," he said in a statement.
United also underwrites Erickson's policies, which have around 200 enrollees, and were the first Advantage plans offered by a long-term care operator. Under the arrangement, Erickson Advantage decides when a nursing home stay is covered.
Nick Williams, PruittHealth's care integration officer, said its Medicare insurance plan has resulted in 30 percent fewer hospitalizations among residents since it began last year. The company intends to expand the insurance coverage to residents at 42 of its other nursing homes in Georgia. Other nursing home chains are experimenting with this model in Missouri, South Carolina, Virginia and elsewhere.
Anne Tumlinson, a Washington health care industry consultant who specializes in long-term care, said that when a nursing home's company is on the hook for the cost of hospitalizations of their patients, it is more likely to make efforts to prevent them.
"It gets them out of hospitalizing people at the drop of the hat," she said. "If you live in a nursing home or are living in assisted living and they have one of these plans going, they're going to be investing heavily in 24/7 access to primary care."
She said big insurers have so many different types of enrollees that they are less focused on the particular needs of nursing home patients. "They're too big, they're bureaucratic, and they are insurers, not providers," she said.
The Costs Patients Face
In Hingham, Mass., Suzanne Carmick has been frustrated with the Erickson plan's unwillingness to pay for most of her mother's prolonged stay. Last October, 98-year-old Lorraine Carmick went into Erickson's nursing home after a hospitalization. Eleven days later, Erickson Advantage notified Suzanne Carmick it would stop paying for the facility because it said her mother was strong enough to move with the help of a rolling walker. Under Medicare's rules, nursing home stays are not covered if a patient does not need daily physical therapy. Erickson said two or three days was sufficient for Carmick.
Suzanne Carmick appealed the decision, saying Erickson exaggerated her mother's recovery, noting that she had dementia, an infection and was wearing two stiff leg braces. She said getting therapy five days a week provided in the nursing home would help her mother recover faster.
"She still cannot stand up or sit down or go anywhere … without an aide helping her by pulling her up or setting her in a chair," Carmick wrote. "She is improving but is now supposed to stop or decrease PT [physical therapy], and she must start paying out-of-pocket?"
After a week's extension, the nursing home began billing her mother at its daily rate of $463, which rose to $483 this year as Lorraine Carmick remained in the nursing home. A Medicare appeals judge subsequently ruled Erickson's action was justified, based on the testimony from the nursing home staff -- all Erickson employees. If the insurer had covered a maximum stay, Carmick would have avoided more than $30,000 in bills she now owes. Suzanne Carmick said her mother has been on a wait list for six months for a bed on a less expensive floor in the nursing facility.
"It is a closed system where the skilled nursing facility, physicians and Medicare Advantage plan are all one and the same," she said. "The Erickson Advantage plan is turning out to be quite a disadvantage at this point."

I'm Leigh - a freelance web-developer that specialises in PHP with a background in C, with an extensive experience in Drupal content management system (10 years and counting!) . Also known on drupal.org as dgtlmoon
This blog is a dumping-ground for research, thoughts and developments.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com dgtlmoon
So unlike Chrome, Firefox will ALWAYS apply the embedded ICC colour profile to an image, adding the adobeRGB1998.icc profile is not what you want todo here, you want to be sure you've removed all the profiles.
Noodling around with (un)setting various colour profile values in TheGimp did not help
Fortunately imagemagick to the rescue again, I simply used the -strip option to remove all profile and comment info
Whilst the general regex validation of email addresses is fairly good in Drupal, what happens if they enter a domain that does not exist? Well they can still sign up, and the email will bounce.
Let's use the simple but reliable dns_get_record in PHP to do the dirty work for us.
function my_helper_form_user_register_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) { $form['#validate'][] = 'my_email_form_validate';
Using some simple bash command like awk and sed, I cooked up this quick drush hack to examine the server logs, there's a specific robot getting around that continuously hits up the "/user/password?name=xyz" URL, this simple line fed script grabs the IP address in the first column, sort's them, counts how many uniq's there are, then uses awk again to only print out IP's that have tried this URL more than 2 times.
Ok so this one is a bit of a hack, but on my TShirtSlayer website it fits very nicely.
Essentially I wanted to do something similar to the way FB does automatic realtime notifications but instead of focusing on people, I wanted the the focus to be on the taxonomy (things added to the site broken down by category), this is our message/event we want to spread to other users.
Recently completed a complex job where there was significant work in lining up exported fields exported with Views data export (CSV) into the excellent migrate module, basically so the operator could export data into excel spreadsheet, adjust and re-migrate
So here's some tips I learnt.
Here's some nice hack to synchronise peoples comments in the forum - that contain youtube links to actual youtube playlists in your account.
For example, this is great on TShirtSlayer because it's a music related website, and people often paste in links to youtube, it's a lot of fun to play a youtube playlist back when it's based on really good discussion on your website
So let's get started, I really prefer to use Drush for these kinds of events, however you could create some kind of queue mechanism from the comment being submitted instead
I've been working on a couple of project's using the greatly improved and very popular Drupal webform module with lots of pagebreaks (pages), unfortunately for these projects some medium level of backwards compatibily is required (damn you old browsers), so here's some cheap and cheerful jQuery to inject a simple Progressbar, I like this method better because it does not require one to customise the node-webform.tpl.php
(note: the following is for Drupal-7 release of webform only)
Recently, After some massive work upgrading TShirtSlayer from Drupal-5 to Drupal-7 (!) I enabled the Drupal "reCaptcha" and "Captcha" modules, only to discover they are totally and utterly useless, it was almost like they were making it easier for bots to find and get into the site by allowing the bots the right search text to locate the site in the search engines (probably where very carefully crafted software would then go and generate accounts on my site)

It seems that this time of year, there's often as much stress in the air as there is holiday cheer, if not more. From frightful weather to last-minute shopping and jam-packed schedules, it's not hard to go from feeling jolly one moment to overwhelmed the next.
So what to do? It turns out there are simple ways to have a low-, or at least lower-, stress holiday season, and do so naturally. To help you with your natural stress relief and prevention this season, here are a few ideas culled from the pages of MOTHER EARTH NEWS and its sister magazine The Herb Companion.
The evidence that healthy eating habits and good nutrition are important for more than just general physical health keeps growing, and, among other things, it turns out that they can play a big role in relieving stress. In Natural Stress Relief: Food and Supplements , health expert Michael Castleman provides three simple suggestions for using food — in a healthy way — to promote a less stressful life:
Herbs can also help you keep an even keel. Try teas made from chamomile (brew 2 to 3 teaspoons per cup of boiling water), hops (half a teaspoon per cup), passionflower (1 teaspoon dried leaves per cup) or catnip (1 to 2 teaspoons per cup).
From sounds to scents, your environment is one of the easiest tools you can use to become more relaxed. Try listening to soothing music — and not just at home. Listen at work and on the bus or in the car. Play it in the kitchen or in the living room during the evening, rather than watching less-soothing television programming.
As for nosing your way to relaxation, aromatherapy is popular and effective for relieving anxiety and stress naturally. Add a few drops of an essential oil to a bath, or, for a more portable option, put some rock salt in a vial and then add a few drops of essential oil to the mix. Keep a cap on the vial, and when you're ready to decompress, remove the cap and breathe in the scent deeply. Oils of basil, lavender, anise, peppermint and thyme are all good choices.
In addition to nutritional, herbal and sensory stress relief techniques, another option is to physically release stress. According to The Secret to Stress Relief, people who regularly exercise are often happier and less stressed out than those who don't exercise, and you don't even have to commit a lot of time. Exercising for 30 minutes several times a week can naturally reduce stress, and can also help prevent stress to the immune system. Staying healthy is a great head start when it comes to feeling more relaxed and being able to handle all of the fun and bustle of the season.
Walking is one of the easiest ways to exercise. You can do it almost anywhere, it's free, and it requires minimal equipment. Especially in winter, be sure to use activity- and weather-appropriate footwear. If you live in an area that gets lots of snow and ice, a product such as YakTrax can help you keep your footing while out and about. If venturing out during the cold season isn't your style, schools with indoor tracks often open their facilities to the public outside of team practice hours, or you can stroll inside the local mall. As another alternative, yoga can be a great indoor exercise.
You don't have to work up a sweat to physically relieve stress. When you realize you're wound up too tight, stop and breathe. Roll your shoulders back and stand (or sit) up straight. Smile. Smiling sends a signal from your facial muscles to your brain that encourages calm. (See Less Stress in Seconds: The Instant Calming Sequence for more details on how each of these helps get rid of stress.) With a little more time, try meditation to relieve stress . Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit. Close your eyes. Select a word or phrase to focus on and silently repeat it. Try a minute or two to start, and work up to 20 minutes once or twice a day. (Learn more in Introduction to Meditation .)
After weeks of planning and prepping, you finally get to enjoy the big holiday dinner, or head out for cocktails with your friends to toast (or commiserate over) the season's events. But if you wake up the next day with a splitting headache or even just a kinda fuzzy feeling after one too many glasses of wine, there try a natural hangover remedy . (Of course, the best remedy is to know when to stop and skip the hangover altogether, but you can slip these to any friends you might know to be in need.)
For starters, before you even get to the next day, if imbibing is part of your holiday festivities, be sure to drink lots of water throughout the evening. Choose your alcohol carefully. According to Dr. Andrew Weil , some alcohol may contain additives that can "trigger asthma, migraines and other reactions." Paying a little more for a quality brand might help you be sure you're getting a cleaner cocktail. Some types of liquor are cleaner than others, too. Go easy on the bourbon and cognac, as well as champagne. Weil says that vodka (just alcohol and water) is the cleanest.
If you're already at the headache stage, aromatherapy can help here, too. According to Aromatherapy: Herbs for the Holidays , peppermint tea or fennel tea can help treat nausea. You can apply lavender to your temples to "quiet your pounding head." Or, add grapefruit, lemon or fennel oils to bath water to increase urine production and thereby help flush the toxins out of your system.
The suggestions above are just a few ideas for making your holiday season less stressful. You could also try a message, or take a moment to think about all that you have to be thankful for. Spend low-key time with friends and family. Do something creative as an outlet for all of that energy. Forget about being perfect. Laugh. Smile.
You could even do something really radical: Say no (politely, of course) to some invitations. Give fewer, but more thoughtful gifts. Giving gifts to those less fortunate ( or that benefit those less fortunate) can be a great way to feel better and reconnect with the spirit of the season. Take a look at your holiday plans and ideas, figure out which are most important to you — head and shoulders above the others — and focus on those. Don't worry about the rest. Not only will the sky not fall, but the world will continue to spin, and you will probably feel better, more rested and more sane — you might even have a very merry holiday season.
You can find more great ideas, plus additional information about the tips covered here, in Natural Stress Relief , and on the MOTHER EARTH NEWS and The Herb Companion websites.
What? Nothing about flower essences to beat holiday stress?? Flower essences are NOT the same as essential oils or aroma therapy. They are unscented and unflavored, containing only the vibrational energy of what they are made from. Here's an article I wrote for Vibration Magazine about essences to help get you through the holidays: http://www.essences.com/vibration/dec99/holidayessences.html
My biggest holiday stressor is money, so to avoid that stress during the shopping season, I try to plan ahead. I list out all my usual paychecks and bills and plan ahead to make sure I have enough to pay off December and January's bills in advance. Once that's settled I can divide the rest of the money into amounts to spend for each person on my list (and it's a VERY small list!). If I am really hurting for cash I de-personalize the gifts. A dollar-store mug or basket for each person with a handful of winter items (candies, a pair of socks or gloves), a hot cocoa packet and a peppermint stick or similar treat costs less than $50 for my entire small family, and can be spiced up with homemade cookies, ornaments or other little favors. If you are crafty you don't even have to buy the containers - you can make your own out of repurposed cartons, or weave little paper baskets for lightweight gifts. All of these ideas require some time and preparation, but hand-making gifts and budgeting beforehand is an easy way to reduce stress and use something you enjoy (crafting) to turn the season of stress into a season of smiles.

We believe that our role as Rabbeim is to help our talmidim uncover their potential. We set high expectations and give them the skills to realize those expectations. During each seder, Heichal talmidim amass significant amounts of knowledge (bekius), acquire advanced reading and textual skills (leining), and formulate key concepts (lomdus).
Gemara Iyun
Our talmidim study a challenging masechta each year with the goal of learning the skills necessary to "make a leining" on Gemara, Rashi, Tosafos, and other major Rishonim and Acharonim. Talmidim are trained to analyze the implication of each word and explore the conceptual underpinnings of the sugya. Significant time is allotted to chavrusah learning, as talmidim prepare for and review the shiur.
Gemara Bekius
A second masehcta is chosen for bekius learning. Our goal is for each talmid not merely to finish, but to master the masechta. Talmidim take regular bechinos on dapim and periodically on entire perakim. Ultimately, they review the entire masechta, culminating in a masechta bechinah. Talmidim of the Yeshiva have finished Masechtos Kiddushin, Rosh Hashanah, Megillah and Succah. There is no prouder moment than when our talmidim stand at the end of the year, before family and neighbors, and say the Hadran on the masechtos that they learned.
Every morning, after davening, the talmidim begin their day with a twenty-minute seder in Halachah. Over four years, we endeavor to finish the entire Kitzur Shulchan Aruch and Kitzur Hilchos Shabbos in order to provide each talmid with the requisite knowledge to be a scrupulous shomer Torah u'mitzvos.
Every day, Heichal talmidim learn the Parshas Hashavuah with Rashi. Additionally, our Rabbeim work with them on reading other Rishonim, such as the Ramban. Each shiur highlights how the Chumash should inform and inspire our daily Avodas Hashem.
Night Seder
During night seder, on Monday and Thursday nights, from 6:55 to 7:55 PM, the talmidim are divided into chaburos led by older mentors, all of whom are currently studying for Semichah. These mentors help the talmidim delve deeper into the masechtos they are learning during bekius seder. These mentors greatly enhance the Yeshiva environment, serving as role models and joining the Yeshiva on trips and Shabbatonim.

The private equity vehicle, Acromas, announced on Thursday that it has sold some of its shares in the over-50s lifestyle group Saga. The firm said two new institutional investors have bought the shares in a deal worth over £200 million.
The private equity vehicle announced it has sold 10% stake in the company. Saga has been going through a tough period since its initial public offering (IPO) last year. The private equity firms Charterhouse, Permira and CVC use Acromas as a vehicle to hold their shares. The vehicle also controls the stakes the private equity firms have in AA, which also floated during last year. Bank of America Merrill Lynch, which also completed Saga's IPO procedure last year, was in charge of the share placing.
Valuation worries
According to the Telegraph, one of the new investors has taken a 4% stake in the company, which mean the investor is now among Saga's biggest shareholders. The private equity vehicle continues to have a 62% stake in the company. The investor was not named in any of the reports on Thursday. Furthermore, the vehicle first announced it is only selling 4% stake, but later agreed to sell another 6%.
The reports said the firm received a minimum of 185 pence a share, which is around the share price it chose during its IPO in May last year. The shares have been on the decline, but have shown recovery during the last few weeks. When valuing the company, the problem for many analysts trying has been in figuring out under what sector to evaluate the price. Sage generates most of its profits as an insurer, but it also has plenty of operations as a consumer service. These consumer service businesses typically attract a higher valuation as it has multiple earnings opportunities.
Legal Procedures
According to the Telegraph, the private equity firms are now unable to trade any remaining Saga shares during a period from March 1 until the results are announced in late April. This will ensure institutions are locked out from the company, since freely-traded shares are mostly in the hands of individual investors. These investors will receive bonus shares if they hang on to the shares for at least a year.
The vehicle released an official statement on Saga's website saying, "The sale is subject to demand, price and market conditions. The identity of Placees and the basis of the allocations are at the discretion of Acromas and BofAML. The price at which the Placing Shares are to be placed will be agreed by Acromas and BofAML at the close of the bookbuilding process." The stock market rules dictate that the identities of the new institutional investors will be named in the following days.
There have been plenty of buyouts in the insurance industry in recent months and private equity firms currently in charge of these assets have been able to capitalise on the industry interest. It remains to be seen whether further big deals will take place in the following months.

Member Spotlights
I started coming to Rock Solid after finishing my second marathon in the Fall of 2016. I tend to strength train in spurts only to stop entirely when race training ramps up. I finished the marathon with a big PR, but found myself feeling weak, tight, and imbalanced.
After primarily going to gyms with large format classes in the past, I knew I wanted to find a place where I could get more individualized attention on my form and needs. Alysha and I joined at the same time as a way to hold one another accountable to our goals. Alysha and I push one another to move up to new weights and master new moves (all while having a lot of fun together!)
For the past five months, I've been going to kettlebells twice a week and it has made me a more confident and faster runner. My core and upper body strength help me maintain good form and lower body strength push me through a speed workout or a long run. I love that Blair incorporates stretching and mobility work at the beginning and end of every workout so I don't feel overly tight or sore going into a run the next day. She continues to provide me with tips on stretching and overall health and maintains such a positive environment in the gym. I feel more powerful going into this training season and plan to keep strength training as part of my training plan.Leah
A long-distance runner for almost twenty years, my lack of strength-training to complement the miles finally caught up to me. Two injuries crept up within six months, both of which may have been prevented with proper strength training.
Any runner or athlete sidelined with an injury knows how challenging it can be to rest and recover, while not wanting to lose performance or progress. After one Kettlebell Strength & Mobility class I knew it was exactly what I needed and joined Rock Solid in December 2016.
Blair understood my goals, accommodated my injury, and gave me personalized attention in every work out. She makes sure form is never sacrificed, that each workout is challenging but accessible, and that all of her clients have the level of personal attention I felt right away. Having Leah as a buddy adds an extra layer of fun and accountability; we know how to push and support each other both during workouts and runs.Alysha
I have been a member at Rocksolid since May of 2016. In May, I decided it was time to get focused and invest in myself.
Throughout most of my life I've been an athlete. Participating in track and cross country throughout high school and some of college, I was used to group sports and motivation from a team. Since moving to Chicago in 2008, I lost my luster for health and fitness, and spent most of my time exploring the city and allowed little time to better myself. When I did make it to the gym, I would quickly give up, hop off the treadmill, hit the locker room and head home or out with friends.
I first heard of Rock Solid through Classpass, a few friends and I checked out a class. That first class at Rock Solid kicked my butt, and I liked it! I've been hooked ever since. While utilizing Classpass, I quickly found myself looking forward to Tuesday nights at Rock Solid. Then, in April 2016, Blair announced a challenge that would begin in May. I stayed after class to learn more about the challenge and the gym and venting to Blair about my struggles getting back in to fitness. After the challenge, I felt the best I had felt about myself in years and decided without question to become a member of Rock Solid. I started noticing changes in my body within the first few weeks.
One year later, my love with health and fitness has been rekindled. At Rock Solid, I find the motivation I have been seeking, I am more confident, and schedule my life around my workouts. Blair has helped me realize how strong I actually am, has brought more sustainability and happiness to my life, and has constantly pushed me to get even better. Even though I reluctantly up my weight when she tells me to, I am thankful I have her motivating me and the other members at Rock Solid. Thanks, Blair!Chelsea
I heard of Rock Solid through a friend. I registered for a class, even though I was nervous because I had not worked out in a long time. Everyone was so nice and welcoming, that I decided to register for the challenge. I was a bit hesitant at the beginning because I didn't feel confident enough to commit to consistently work out and be able to see a difference, because I usually am very impatient and want to see results right away. Blair has taught me that this is a process, to always pay attention to the positive changes. I really enjoy working out at Rock Solid Health, because I don't feel intimidated and I feel supported by everyone. These ladies motivate me and help me stay focused on my goals.
I have been going to Rock Solid Health for about 6 months now. Blair always encourages me to do my best and challenges me. She helps me feel confident that I can do it. I have been inspired by everyone there to commit to make changes in my life style. Since going to Rock Solid Health I have definitely changed and have made exercising and healthy eating part of my routine. I enjoy working out very much and I feel confident about what I am capable of doing. I learned to be patient and realize that I must be committed to see results.
Blair, thank you for challenging me and motivating me. Thank you for being so positive, encouraging me to push my limits.Edith
From a young age I've almost exclusively practiced yoga to take care of my physical fitness. I became hyper flexible and had chronic muscle and joint pain. This year I committed myself to building remedial strength so I wouldn't be in pain and it has been incredibly rewarding. I can hold my body with so much more integrity and freedom. I am so strong now! I have a healthy sense of confidence and joy in taking care of my body. I respect myself more with my food choices and listen to my body's feedback.
Going to Rock Solid was never a chore. The classes there are fun and challenging, just the right mix of friendly and firm. Exercise plus healthy diet/lifestyle work wonders! Without intentionally trying to lose weight I have lost almost 20lbs this year!
Rock Solid and Blair have given me such a gift. The most rewarding part is regularly pushing myself to out of my comfort zone and persevering when I want to quit. I trust my resiliency and abilities so much more because of my time at Rock Solid.Cameron
I've been working with Kettlebells for 8 years and you could say I absolutely love them! A year ago I was on a break from group fitness trying to work out on my own. I woke up one day in December feeling lousy, out of shape and not able to run the 5k I had planned. Additionally, my weight had crept up and other health issues started to surface. That was my breaking point. I read about Blair on the Dragon Door website and her story really resonated with me, plus I discovered how close to home Rock Solid was located.
I really needed the nutrition support of the challenges which helped me create discipline around a healthy routine. More importantly was that third perspective of positivity or being good to myself. This is where Rock Solid has made the biggest difference in my life and helped me create a sustainable lifestyle. The community has been really supportive and our workouts are fantastic. As a coach, Blair knows what to say or not say which is really helpful with motivation.
The long road to health and fitness never ends but my journey over 10 months has been so rewarding. I remember a tipping point 5 months into my journey where too many days away from the gym felt noticeable with my energy and mood. It's that balance of enough but not too much that creates a sweet spot in training. Now I don't look at it as a mountain to climb, it's just what I do and a part of who I am. I love Kettlebells and I love Rock Solid!Georgia Fisher
Anita first walked in Rock Solid August of 2013, and I am thankful to have been working with her for the past 3 years. Over that time I have seen her progress in both her physical and mental strength. She is someone who has a strong work ethic, walks in the door motivated, and also helps others around her. It is because of this she is our June member of the month. Check out her story below:

"Since I joined Rock Solid Health, I have the pleasure of working out with a group of highly motivated individuals. I enjoy the encouragement and feel that I can accomplish anything. I have worked out at multiple studios but the members at Rock Solid are the friendliest.
Because of the weight loss and workout challenges, I have lost 18 lbs, am eating healthier (expect for vacation), feel energized and feel better.
Blair has provided me with her insight on nutrition and weight loss which further helped me to loss and keep my weight off; thanks so very much Blair."
She is the client every trainer dreams of having. The one who smiles often, works hard, is self motivated, AND she helps those around her. It does not happen often but Laura fits that mold. She walked in the door an athlete, and has been proving herself ever since. Not only does she consistently show up for her workouts, but she has also competed in 2 Super Spartan Races in the past 2 years. Without further ado – check out what her gym mates have to say. . .
Not sure if you've done the member spotlight with her before but I truly look to Laura as an inspiration, she's so consistent and dedicated to her workouts and its so motivating to me. I really feel that while Blair is our Coach, Laura is our Team Captain!
Laura Camacho! She's always moving up in weight and inspires me to do the same!
Laura Camacho would be PERFECT!
Laura Camacho! She always has a great attitude and will jump in and help and advise as needed. I always feel inspired to do "more" when she is around! GO MACHO!

Laura has always been super helpful and has shown me how use different methods to make kettle bell swinging easier and more effective. She is always smiling and in a happy mood, which makes working out that much more enjoyable.
I have been a member at Rock Solid since September 2015 this was when I decided that it was time to make a change in my life and get into shape.
I have always been big on sports; I never felt the need of doing any extra workouts because soccer was my everyday exercise, and it didn't feel like I was working out because I enjoyed it so much. Playing this sport benefited me a lot. It especially kept me in shape. I started playing soccer in elementary school, and I continued to carry my passion for it throughout college. However, during my last year of school I lost my passion for it and I did not feel motivated to continue playing. When I stopped, I despised going to the gym, and I could not get myself to run outside. After a few months, I noticed a lot of changes within my body. I realized that I was the heaviest that I had ever been, and I always found myself to be tired. I felt like I never had energy, and I started to feel self-conscious about how I looked. I finally felt motivated to go to the gym again. However, I started losing patience and motivation due to not getting the results that I had longed for.
I heard of Rock Solid through my aunt. She had been going to Rock Solid for about a month. In that month she looked great!! I noticed a change in her body, energy, and the amount motivation and dedication that she had. I told her how I felt, and she suggested that I try a class. While seeing my aunt's results, I could not lose the opportunity of going to a class. Therefore, I decided to go the next day! I did the free week pass and on the second day I knew that Rock Solid was the place that I wanted to train. Everyone that I met that week looked so happy to be there, and it just made Rock Solid that much better. It brought back the atmosphere from my old soccer days.
After that week, I committed myself to try Rock Solid for three months and within those three months I fell in love with the kettle bells. I was seeing an opportunity that made me excited about working out again. Once the three months were over, I knew that I was not interested in going anywhere else, so here I am now. I am feeling stronger, healthier, and more confident about myself. I'm happy to say, that I am closer and closer to meeting my goals. One goal that I am extremely proud of accomplishing would be doing a pull up! I honestly do not know if I could have ever done it on my own.
I just want to say Thank you Blair, for always challenging me and motivating me. You are an amazing trainer; you have made working out for me enjoyable again. Your positive energy, encouragement, and guidance are why Rock Solid is a great gym.Vickie Adan
I started training with Blair at Rock Solid 2 years ago. A LOT has happened for me in those 2 years.
Yoga has always been part of my work/life balance regimen, adding strength training was a natural next step and the best decision I ever made. Plus, at the time, I had a wedding coming up and wanted to guarantee my dress would still fit. After the 1st kettle bell class, I was amazed at how many muscles were sore, in a good way! I quickly realized that strength training was positively affecting my everyday physical and mental health. When I was working full-time last year, Blair convinced me to try the 6am class before work and that changed everything! The adrenalin from the morning circuits and weight training carried me strongly and confidently through the work day. I was breaking records with deadlifts and feeling amazing. At some point I was laid off and had a bike crash with a small shoulder injury, but I never gave up on Rock Solid and Blair never gave up on me. I am certain that my shoulder (and mood) would have been much more severely injured if it weren't for my strength training.
Last September, I found out about my Baby Boy on the way, and Blair was the first to know! Well, I needed to be sure that it was ok to keep training! Turns out there is A LOT of conflicting information out there in regards to fitness and pregnancy. After some agonizing research (Opinions on the internet, Go figure!), I was able to deduce only one conclusion. Do what feels right for you and the baby. If you have a solid workout foundation, it is OK to keep it up. So I continue to train with Blair, making modifications when needed, and it has been so fun to share this adventure with her and the Rock Solid community who continue to motivate me everyday. The encouraging words and support from everyone has been truly inspiring and appreciated. I often hear, "I can't believe you are still working out!" Quite honestly, it is a no-brainer to me. The relief and energy boost I feel from a good workout, has aided my pregnancy in such a positive way.
Much gratitude to Blair for working hard everyday to get us all to meet our minor goals and some major milestones. Looking forward to my next chapter with Rock Solid – losing the baby weight!Maria Farhatt

Question: how does the earth manage to spin around everyday? why doesnt it ever stop?
astronomy, earth, physics, sky, spin, world
Asked by chloewildman to Chris, Eva, Michael, Paddy, Phil on 21 Jun 2011.
Chris Jordan
answered on 21 Jun 2011:
Nice one!
Newton's eeerrr…. first law – every keeps doing what its already doing unless something stops it. That's not obvious here on earth itself, because if you spin something here there are things to stop it … usually friction. There's nothing much out in space for the earth to rub against to create friction.
The earth is slowing down a very little bit (someone asked about the moon in todays chat – and as the moon goes around us some of the earth's spin energy gets shared out with the moon by the gravity that holds the earth-moon together). Some of the earth's energy goes in dragging weather around… there's a bit of friction between the atmosphere and the earth but the earth is so much more massive than the atmosphere that its a minute effect.
Other things happen too – the Japanese earthquake was so big it made the whole earth jump. Japan actually moved a few metres, and the earth's spin shifted a bit.

answered on 21 Jun 2011:
Wow! Really?! That's cool. I didn't realise an earthquake could affect the earth's spin.
Michael Wharmby
answered on 21 Jun 2011:
Nice question and nice answer from Chris! The Earth is spinning as a result of left over kinetic energy (movement) from when it formed.
The Earth formed from a disk of dust, gas, rock etc. some of which went to form the other planets, some to the Earth and most(?) to the sun. That disk of dust was orbiting around the sun and as it formed into planets, that kinetic energy was transferred into making the Earth orbit the sun and making it rotate about its axis.
Correct me if I'm wrong Chris.
Phil Denniff
answered on 21 Jun 2011:
Great question chloewildam, I had never thought about it before. Now you have asked I want to know the answer, Im also glad Chris is on hand to supply it.
Eva commented on 22 Jun 2011:
Hi Chrism can I ask one as well? Is it theoretically possible that the direction of the spin changes with Newton and everything? And is there any way to find out why the earth is spinning in the direction as it does?
Log in to Reply
Michael commented on 22 Jun 2011:
It'd also be interesting to know if the Earth is spinning in the same direction it is rotating about the sun (ought to be if there's anything in my answer).
Sorry you're out Eva – hope you enjoyed yourself though. All the best with your research 🙂
Chris commented on 22 Jun 2011:
Eva, Changing the direction of the spin would be like stopping it and then starting it in the opposite direction … take twice as much force. Michael has pretty well answered why we're spinning the direction that we are … a cloud condensed to form the Sun and if this had even a bit of rotation it would show in the Sun and left over dust as it all condensed (the classic example is an ice skater spinning faster as they pull in their arms – conservation of angular momentum). As the Sun formed, left over dust formed into rotating disc, then clumps started forming to give planets and moons and asteroids. Any angular momentum has to go somewhere – and it went into the orbits of the planets and their rotation. The Sun spins anticlockwise (looking down from the N. pole of the solar system) all the planets and all except a couple of asteroids orbit anticlockwise, and nearly all moons go that way. too. There are a few exceptions Venus is gooing backwards very slowly and Uranus is lying on it's side.
Paddy – Yes earthquakes can shift the earth spin axis and change the length of a day http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2011/0314/Japan-earthquake-accelerated-Earth-s-rotation-study-finds
I sort of keep track of these bits of news, because one bit of astronomy means we're really involved in keeping track of time. We need to know where to point the telescopes which means we need to know where a star is any any time of day, on any day of the year. These effects aren't big enough to throw us in the short term, but we get a regular summary of tweaks we'll need to take account of from Greenwich (and it's US counterpart).
ps the earth slows down a bit in spring and speeds up in Autumn, to do with areas of sea water heating and cooling and icecaps changing (and my favourite – trees growing in spring )
how did the universe begin?
how can you tell that any planet could be cold or hot from far away from earth?
how do shooting stars happen?
whats you favorite chemistry, phisics or biology?

It is great to have help when getting ready for an Easter family gathering. Mine was a pink bonneted, stylish, little cherub with a sincere attitude of eagerness.
Okay Granny! What's first?
Well, we gather our ingredients...cake mix, lemon pudding, vegie oil, lemon-lime soda, powdered sugar, lemon juice and peeps.
Assemble the ingredients in the mixer...
...and inspect.
Scrape down the beater...
and lick.
Spread the batter in the prepared 9x13 cake pan.
Add raspberries...and...eat a few.
Place in oven and voila! Or almost... Here's the thing, this recipe didn't call for eggs! Which is why the little pink bonneted cherub could safely lick the beater. But after baking the cake, seeing the results, and checking the recipe once again, lo and behold, NOW the silly recipe claims that three eggs ARE required! So, while the little pink bonneted cherub and her grandpa were at the park, another cake (this time with three eggs included)...
...appeared on the counter.
It was even covered with a lovely lemon glaze.
Easter Sunday it was festively dressed up. (Note the cupcakes in the background.)
Raspberry Lemon Easter Cake anyone?
Now for the 'bit of bacon' part: Dark Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes! (Have you ever heard of such a thing?)
But first the cupcake photo...
...and what happens to the soul who eats them!!
Glazed Lemon Raspberry Cake
1 pkg white cake mix
1 pkg (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix
¾ C vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 C lemon-lime soda
fresh raspberries
1 C confectioners' sugar
2 T lemon juice
In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, oil and eggs; beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Gradually beat in soda. Pour into a greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
Place raspberries on top and press into batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched in center.
Combine confectioners' sugar and lemon juice until smooth; carefully spread over warm cake. Cool on a wire rack.
Dark Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes
12 slices bacon, 8 crumbled, 4 saved for garnish
2 C all-purpose flour
¾ C plus 1 T unsweetened cocoa pwd
2 C white sugar
2 t baking soda
1 t baking pwd
½ t sea salt
2 eggs
1 C strong brewed coffee, cold
1 C buttermilk (No buttermilk on hand? Use 1 T white vinegar to 1 scant C of milk and let sit for 5 minutes before using.)

St. Thomas More needed a big shot in the arm after its devastating loss last weekend to crosstown rival Teurlings Catholic.
The Cougars got that in a big way Friday night, from the arm of quarterback William Bellamy.
The STM junior threw four touchdown passes in the first half, helping build a big halftime lead, and the Cougars never looked back in rolling to a 55-14 win over Northside in their District 5-4A battle.
The fifth-ranked Cougars saw a 26-point deficit disappear last Friday in the 56-46 home loss to Teurlings, but Bellamy made sure that wasn't happening again as he led an explosive offense to 34 unanswered points after the host Vikings had cut an early margin to 7-6 on Cozenski Alfred's 11-yard scoring run.
"We came out with a mindset," said Bellamy, who finished 14-of-20 passing for 204 yards. "Last week was tough.
"You could see it in everybody's eyes that they were disheartened, and we needed to bounce back."
Bellamy hit Deuce Wallace and Alex Hannie for scoring passes of 26 and 31 yards in the first period, and then hooked up with Hunter Champagne for 21 and 9-yard scores before halftime as the Cougars (7-1, 3-1) took a 34-6 halftime lead.
"He's been doing that all year for us," STM coach Jim Hightower of Bellamy. "But tonight, I think he took it to heart to try to pick up the slack for us. He's become a leader for us."
STM played without two main offensive cogs in running back Trevor Begue and wide receiver Tiger Bech, both out after injuries against Teurlings. Their absence didn't show much, as the Cougars continued a streak of scoring 41 or more points in all eight games this season.
STM, which has scored 392 points through eight weeks, scored on seven of its first eight possessions, coming up short only on two incompletions just before halftime.
"Northside is very athletic on defense," Bellamy said. "We'd lost two of our deep threats, but we had guys step up and that's going to be big for us the rest of the way."
Nathan Thevenot added touchdown runs of 1 and 8 yards in the second and third quarters and backup quarterback Matthew Gardner had scoring runs of 20 and 14 yards in the second half as part of STM's 408-yard offensive attack.
The Vikings (4-4, 2-2), who had won four of their last five, got a 112-yard rushing performance from Alfred. But quarterback Ethan Rose, who had accounted for four touchdowns in last week's 42-0 win over Opelousas, was held to 7-of-22 passing and had four interceptions, two by Cougars senior Jacolby Broussard.
Wallace, normally a backup running back, rushed for 87 yards to complement Bellamy's performance along with catching the first touchdown pass.
"We're missing a lot of firepower," Hightower said, "but I'm proud of the guys who took that opportunity and ran with it."

I've been volunteering since 2012. I trust and support in the mission of Detroit Dog Rescue and how they will do anything and everything to help a dog. My favorite parts about volunteering include being able to help whenever and however I can, and spoiling and snuggling up with Boss, the office cat.
Detroit Dog Rescue says, SENIOR DOGS ROCK! They took me in when I was nine years old with all kinds of health issues and still found me a home. I'm happy and smiling now! Thanks DDR!
We've had Zeke for about six weeks and he's been a wonderful addition to our home. He is gentle, well behaved, and gets along well with our older dog and two cats. He walks three miles every day and just completed an extensive dog training school. We love having him.
It's me, Jax! Someone tied to me to a fence in Detroit...and well...they never came back. As soon as Detroit Dog Rescue heard about me, they came right away to rescue me. I was adopted by the best mom in the world and we snuggle every night. Thanks DDR!
It was cold in the abandoned house.Thankfully, Detroit Dog Rescue came for me. Their friends at the doctor fixed me up, fed me, and DDR found me my forever home in Farmington Hills, Michigan. It's amazing what a little love and food can do! Thanks Detroit Dog Rescue!

The character of Dane Harding required an actor with good looks, an imposing physique, and the willingness to accept a sharp kick to the ego. Trolling for a fit brought varying degrees of luck. As luck had been having it, lately, I happened upon an actor that suited the role, and then some.
Erik Audé went from actor, to unyielding survivalist, to poker champ, and back to actor in a story that rivals any scriptwriter's wildest adventure fantasies. More importantly, he had talent. He's one of those guys whose acting reel and real-life-reel is arguably more interesting and exciting than most tent-pole films. And he sported a list of credits that tempted me to contact him out of the blue.
With little fanfare, he expressed he wanted in. I weighed what I knew, and hey…if you're making a serious horror film and you don't hire a guy with the nickname "Death Row", you might as well hang it up.

IKEA Retail Store
IKEA is a retail store with multiple locations around the world. They offer ready-to-assemble home furnishings along with home accessories and appliances. They offer products that are safe for the environment or eco-friendly. The store was founded by Ingvar Kamprad who was 17 at the time. The name of the store features his initials and his hometown initial (Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd). The store originally started in Sweden in 1943 and has grown to be one of the world's largest retailers for furniture. For years people have relied on their furniture style and décor to help make their homes comfortable with simplicity.
IKEA offers a number of great products and features. One of their main features includes offering home furniture that you can build yourself. Customers can order furniture for every room of their home. They can choose to put the furniture together on their own or have it put together for them through an assembly service offered by the company. The product can be delivered to your home or you can pick it up at a retail location. Besides offering furnishings for the home, they offer options for businesses.
Over the years IKEA has grown their business to accommodate different consumers. They started off offering certain pieces of furniture and now offer various items for the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and children. You can choose from a wide variety of items and you can have some customized based on color or other specifications depending on the product. You can get items for the floor including rugs and textiles. Consumers have been pleased with the quality of their products, even though the company has had its share of controversy. The company has been criticized for issues related to labor of employees, quality of products and even product recalls and errors.
The IKEA brand continues to grow and expand. There are plans to build several other retail locations throughout the world in the coming years. While some feel the company sells items at high prices, others feel the quality does not match what they want people to pay. At one point the company was accused of price gouging. They tend to have catchy commercials every so often and even these have been criticized. Many industry experts feel the company has something different to offer that millions will continue to enjoy for a long time.
