SUNRISE, Fla. — Former NHL MVP Chris Pronger eventually wants to be a general manager, and Florida Panthers GM Dale Tallon saw that as an opportunity.
The Panthers added Pronger to their front-office staff, announcing Thursday they've given him the title of Senior Advisor to the President of Hockey Operations. In simpler terms, he'll be Tallon's understudy of sorts and a part of the brain trust in Florida as the Panthers try to get back to the post-season.
"I like to hire smarter people than myself, to make myself look smarter," said Tallon, who is also the Panthers' hockey operations president. "I've gotten to know him for the last four or five years. He's got a lot to say. He doesn't sugarcoat it. I like his approach. I like his knowledge. He's opinionated and we like a staff that has that in them."
Pronger technically was an active player until this past season ended, even though his last NHL appearance was Nov. 19, 2011. He was sidelined because of post-concussion symptoms and other issues caused from taking a stick to the right eye. When he got hurt, Pronger was the Flyers' captain in the second year of a seven-year, $34.5 million deal.
His contract was traded by Philadelphia to Arizona in 2015, but Pronger never could return to the ice. He's spent the past three years in the NHL's department of player safety, and often spoke of wanting to pursue a GM role somewhere in the league.
"I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with and learn from an executive with the track record that Dale has," Pronger said. "I'm looking forward to doing everything I can to help the Panthers work towards winning the Stanley Cup."
Pronger won both the MVP and Norris Trophy, presented to the top defenceman in the league, for the 1999-2000 season. He helped Canada win two gold medals in his four Olympic appearances, won a Stanley Cup with Anaheim and appeared in 1,167 regular-season games with five clubs. He finished his playing career with 157 goals and 541 assists, is one of only two defencemen since World War II to be an MVP — Bobby Orr is the other.
Tallon said Pronger would work with another former defenceman in the Panthers' front office, director of player development Bryan McCabe.
"They're current guys, they're modern guys, they know what they're talking about," Tallon said. "It's all part of helping us get to our destination of winning multiple Cups."

Nicholas Payton wrote the celebratory liner notes for Leroy Jones' new album, I'm Talkin' Bout New Orleans.
As one jazz master to another, Payton riffs joyfully through his tribute to Jones, a trumpet and flugelhorn player, singer, composer and arranger who got his start at 12 as leader of Danny Barker's Fairview Baptist Church Christian Band.
"I'm talkin' 'bout one of the greatest trumpeters on the planet!" Payton enthuses in the notes. "I'm talkin' 'bout raw emotion and creative expression. I'm talkin' 'bout swing, soul, funk and refinement!"
Payton's praise flows through 16 glowing lines, every one of them true.
Jones holds an album-release show at 8:30 p.m. Sunday, April 10, at Cafe Istanbul. He also performs twice at French Quarter Festival and at other weekly gigs.
From 1990 to 2007, Jones was a member of Harry Connick Jr.'s big band. He's busy pursuing his own musical projects these days, but when his schedule allows, he rejoins crooner-pianist and American Idol judge Connick on the road and in the studio.
"I just couldn't give up commitments that I'd made outside of Harry whenever they'd call," Jones said. "Maybe my commitments don't pay as much as Harry, but my word has always been more important to me than a dollar."
Jones invested his own money in I'm Talkin' Bout New Orleans. He had most of the album's songs ready after the release of his 2009 album, Sweeter Than a Summer Breeze, but didn't feel comfortable financing the project through online crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter.
"I don't like to beg for money and do these Kickstarter things," he says. "I guess I have too much pride for that. Which is why I waited till I had the money. Also, I got the grant from the Threadhead Cultural Foundation. Then I said, 'OK, it's time to do it.'"
Jones and the local musicians on the sessions — including drummer Shannon Powell, saxophonists Alonzo Bowens and Wessell "Warmdaddy" Anderson, keyboardist Lawrence "Larry" Sieberth, cellist Helen Gillet and, the trumpeter's wife, trombonist Katja Toivola — record-ed I'm Talkin' Bout New Orleans in five days in January at Word of Mouth Recording Studio.
For his latest album, Jones is featuring, for the first time in his recording career, only his original compositions. Selections run from the Latin-tinged title song to the second-line strutting instrum-ental "Armstrong Parade," the funk- and island-flavored "Rendezvous" and ready-for-Mardi Gras 2017 "Carnival Is in the Air."
Jones also employs different config-urations of horn sections throughout the album.
"So each piece will have its own signature," he said. "Every song has a purpose."
Jones hopes at least some of his original material will become New Orleans standards. Another goal was making an album that has something for everyone.
"I incorporated different genres of music, to define who I am and what I've been influenced by," Jones says. "Pop music, R&B, reggae. Music is all relative to me. Good music is good music. And if you can offer something that appeals to a wide variety of listeners, you've got something there."

Felicity Ward: when to lean in to your shame spiral
Drinking is a deeply ingrained part of Australian culture. So, what happens if you're feeling like it might not be for you anymore? We asked comedian and mental health advocate, Felicity Ward, how to navigate an alcohol-free world. By Mia Abrahams
I want to stop drinking, but I'm worried about "being boring" or making my not-drinking into a big deal. What are your top tips for surviving social situations sober?
I know I'm a comedian but because these are subjects very close to my heart/nervous system, I've decided to give straight answers on the off chance someone struggling might need a little guidance. When you first start going to parties or bars sober it is scary, so this is what I found out:
- Everyone is boring at the beginning of a party; some just wear loud shirts.
- There is a chance alcohol never made you more interesting only less inhibited. Do not confuse these for the same thing.
- Remember, your Muslim friends don't drink either. You might actually be surprised that some of your friends don't drink; you just never noticed because you were drinking.
- Find the host of the party and find "jobs" to do. That way you get to move around the room, have very short conversations with people but get to leave quickly. You also feel useful… and self-esteem will play a big part of early sobriety.
- If you don't want to make a big deal about not drinking, some useful phrases are: "I'm on antibiotics", "I'm on a health kick" "I'm allergic to alcohol" "Alcohol makes me punchy." Or order Soda and Lime. Tell people it has vodka in it.
- Mocktails are your friend. When I first started going out I'd drink coke…but I'd drink them like they had vodka in them. Very quickly. So by midnight I'd be off my eyeballs on sugar, drinking my jaw on a diabetic high… So mix it up. Lots of water. Ginger Beers are a favourite. Appletiser has no added sugar.
- The toilet is a great hiding place – play on your phone, text a mate, check your make up, read an article.
- When drunk people start telling the same story a second time, leave. It won't have a different ending.
- Plus side of not drinking – YOU. WILL. NEVER. HAVE. A HANGOVER. AGAIN.
I embarrassed myself at a party last night. How do I put a halt to my shame spiral?
No way to avoid it; best to lean into it. See if you can drag up some past embarrassments and throw them on the shame fire too. Let it burn! Because shame is a helpful emotion that reminds us actions have consequences. If I didn't have shame the next day, I would still be drinking today.
What tactics have been helpful for you to combat anxiety? Do you ask for help / meditate / do yoga / stay away from anxiety-inducing situations (or all/none of the above!)
All of the above. I have been to see four therapists over 14 years. (The shortest time for six weeks, the longest time for four months. I've tried psychoanalytic therapy, psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy).
I swim three times a week. I meditate about five times a week. I do a dance class occasionally and even more occasionally yoga. I've had to cut back my workload substantially despite the fact I am ambitious and love my job. (Ironically this has helped me love my job more). I also have a lots of non-drinking friends.
Some people have tried controlled drinking courses. Some other people go to Alcoholics Anonymous. Some just go cold turkey. Find whatever works for you.
I think my friend might be having a tough time and drinking too much on the weekends. What should I do?
Something that I have found out is that you can't make anyone stop drinking. You can't change their drinking or the way they drink; and if you try you will probably drive yourself mad. I've found the best way to combat friends' problematic drinking is to not hang around them when they drink. Be the best friend you can when they're sober, and if you ever bring it up, only refer to how it impacts you and your friendship. And say it with love. They might already know and feel bad, or they might not know and may be hurt. And remember, anything said more than once is a nag.

Donald Trump has a greater opportunity to make inroads with young voters in 2016 than previous Republican presidential candidates, a new poll finds.
The poll, conducted through over 100 mobile apps by MobOpinions and VoterLabs, shows the recent political conventions of the Republican and Democratic parties had little effect on those born between 1981 and 1998.
While Hillary Clinton continues to lead among likely voting millennials 37% to 29%, with 21% still saying they are undecided. The numbers translate to a statistically insignificant 2 point net bounce over Donald Trump when compared to pre-convention survey numbers.
When asked "if America's best days are behind it or ahead of it," respondents were closely split, with 38% seeing America's best days ahead, 33% behind and 29% saying they are unsure.
However, likely undecided voters aren't so sure about the future of the country – 38% of these voters believe America may never live up to it's past, a margin of 12 points over the 26% who see the future as bright.
The only other voter segments who hold a similar negative view of the future were Trump supporters and white voters. Of supporters of Donald Trump, only 27% see the future as bright. A whopping 49% of Trump supporters and a full 46% of white voters think America's best days have passed.
"Trump seems to tapping into people who have given up on the American dream and future of America. It suggests a certain gloominess that might explain why they would be comfortable with a political outsider, with little relevant experience, to shake up a system they feel is broken," said pollster Mitchell Barak of MobOpinions.
Though when forced to choose between only the Democratic and Republican candidates, Mrs. Clinton beats Mr. Trump 60% to 40%, previously undecided voters unsure of the future flock to Trump by an 8 point margin.
If Mr. Trump can win those undecideds who share his supporter's view of the future, he can bring the race to a dead heat among likely voting millennials.
This would be a huge turnaround from previous elections, where Democratic candidates enjoyed massive advantages with young voters. In 2008, for example, Barack Obama carried the millennial vote by 66 percent — the largest share of the youth vote since 1972.
Four-party polling suggests that Trump still has a steep hill to climb. A recent McClathy-Marist survey put Trump in fourth place with young voters, behind Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Libertarian Gary Johnson. On the other hand, past elections suggest that voters gravitate away from third-party candidates as voting day gets closer. But who will they gravitate towards?
Trump's greatest opportunity may lie with former supporters of Bernie Sanders, who dominated the youth vote before he bowed out of the race and endorsed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. A poll last month showed that a whopping 50 percent of millennial Sanders supporters are unprepared to back Clinton, with 13 percent backing Trump and a further 37 percent backing third party candidates.
"At this point in the campaign, Clinton has a clear advantage with 18-35 year olds, but Donald Trump can make great gains if he can connect with disaffected millennials and get them out to the polls," said Walter Kawecki of VoterLabs.
The survey results suggest that focusing on their respective experience and vision for the nation may be the best way for candidates to sway millennial voters, with over 80% millennial voters preferring this approach to attacks on their opponents.
The representative sample consisted of 601 millennials from across the United States with a 3.5% margin of error. In order to measure to true effect of the conventions, the survey ran the week following the close of Republican and Democratic National Conventions to allow for post-convention bounce equalization.

Over the coming weeks residents of Thringstone (and other towns and villages in the district) will be inundated with election candidates posting flyers, knocking on doors and telephoning them asking for their vote.
One of the most common comments I get on the doorstep around the district is 'we only hear from our councillors when there is an election and then they disappear'.
There is no doubt that this is a widely held belief and in some cases it is a belief that true.
Anyone standing for the position of councillor needs to be able to challenge this view and the only way to do so will be for the candidate to put their words into actions.
That is why all your local Labour candidates are making a pledge of accessibility in the run up to May 5th.
We believe we need to be clear about what the electorate can expect from us.
If we are elected we pledge to represent all of the people in our wards, not just the ones who voted for us.
We will make sure that we are accessible to residents and community groups by publishing telephone numbers and e-mail addresses where you can contact us at any reasonable time.
We will make sure that we respond to any contact from residents of our wards and will endeavour to keep you informed on how your case is progressing when we intercede on your behalf.
Perhaps most importantly we will pledge to represent you at Council by regular attendance at meetings.
It's also important that members of the community can take part in the democratic process and so if we take control of the Council we will ensure that meetings are held at reasonable times taking into account members of the public who wish to attend.
Labour will also move to webcast Council meetings, so if you are interested and have access to the internet you will be able watch meetings from your own home.
Can I ask you a favour?
When you get a knock on the door from your various election candidates ask them how they plan to represent you?
Are they as clear on what they will do if they become your councillor as Labour are?

Brian Jorde,
David Domina and the three landowners they are representing will have their case heard in federal court. The lawsuit challenges the law that gave Nebraska Governor Heineman the power to approve a new route for
TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline. The Nebraska state judge would not throw the case out on the ground that public funds were used to carry out the law's provisions, giving the landowners' law challenge merit.
The law that gave Gov. Heineman this power was L.B. 1161. Before the law was passed, the decision for the pipeline route would have been up to a vote by the Public Service Commission (PSC). Jorde and his three landowners allege that L.B. 1161 violates the Nebraska constitution, because there is a clause in the constitution which states that crude oil companies must be handled by the PSC.
L.B. 1161 also allowed Gov. Heineman to give TransCanada the right of eminent domain. In other words, TransCanada can take private land for pipeline use. If Jorde and his plaintiffs are successful, then L.B. 1161 will be overturned and an injunction could stop it from being enforced. The current proposed route for the pipeline is the shortest, and cheapest, route for TransCanada but many affected landowners have safety concerns.
Currently, the Department of Environmental Equality (DEQ) is conducting a review of the proposed route and the effects it might have on the land/landowners. After Gov. Heineman receives the DEQ review, he will have 30 days in which to approve or disapprove of TransCanada's route. To learn more about the lawsuit, read the full Law 360 article.

Jefferson Award for E-Soccer Founder
"Our program teaches [kids] that it's a good thing to sacrifice and serve people who don't have as much as you do or aren't as blessed as you are in life. What we have in our small community is a generation of kids who are growing up who see no reason why their special-needs friends shouldn't go along with them. They don't see life as being 'normal' unless special-needs people are involved"
– Russ Ewell
Russ Ewell, a minister at the Bay Area Christian Church, founded E-Soccer in April 2000 so his two sons would be able to participate in sports regardless of their special needs. In 2007, he was honored with the Jefferson Award and highlighted in the San Francisco Chronicle, which is given to individuals who make a positive difference in their community. When the program started with only a handful of kids and coaches, there was no indication how much impact it would eventually have on families in the Bay Area and around the world. E-Soccer has grown into a program which leads the way through inclusion and acceptance. It is for his vision and compassion that Russ has been commended with this award.

Putnam: "Brains and Behaviour"
Putnam sets out his functionalist manifesto by attacking the three prior alternatives: dualism, materialism and (logical) behaviourism. Functionalism is the doctrine that mental states are differentiated by what they do and not by what they are made of. Putnam takes it as read that behaviourism, and its motivations, have done enough to show that the first two options are unsatisfactory. This leads him to focus on challenging behaviourism in order to clear the way for his functionalist alternative.
The challenge to logical behaviourism starts from Wittgenstein-type points around the impossibility of private languages in the 'beetle in the box' variant. There can be no security, on this line, that my pain and Jones's pain or my pain at different times, are type-identical or even similar. So I cannot learn `pain' or other mental words by ostension. How then do I know the intension of `pain', and what is it?
Correlations between pain and `pain-behaviour' are unreliable and in any case, a correlation is not a definition. Similarly, even if some brain events cause pain behaviour, the brain events are not identical with pain behaviour or pain. There is an analogy between mind words and disease names, in that while diseases normally but not invariably produce a characteristic set of symptoms, the existence of pain may normally but not invariably produce a characteristic set of behaviours.
What if super-Spartans were possible who could suppress all external expression of pain-behaviour?
We cannot do that, but this shows nothing about other possible worlds. Do these super-Spartans still feel pain? If so, then behaviourism is false, since there is pain which does not ever, let alone normally, issue in behaviour. Therefore pain is not translatable into pain behaviour.

Deploying a web application to Apache Tomcat is very straightforward using a WAR (Web ARchive) file. By deploying we mean that we are placing a zipped web application in a location on the file system where Tomcat can make the web page(s) available to the world.
Take our Apache Tomcat Administration for Windows Training course for free.See the Course Outline and Register
To learn how to deploy a WAR file to Apache Tomcat in a Linux environment, follow these 6 steps:
/DemoWebsite folder and one JSP file
that is stored in
/DemoWebsite. If you completed that topic in the past, then stop the Tomcat server and delete
DemoWebsite.xml from
CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost, e.g.,
You will execute the
jar utility provided in the Java JDK in order to create the WAR file. The command is
sudo jar -cvf DemoWebsite.war DateJSP.jsp:
CATALINA_HOME/webapps, e.g.,
http://localhost:8080/DemoWebsite/DateJSP.jsp and submit that address to the browser.

When I am a mom...
My friend Anne showed me some links to bento boxes in the past, but now I have found a blog that is SUPER CUTE.. and hopefully, when I do have a child in my life this is something cute that I can do for them..
As a family I want to do this more often:
On top of tons of other things that I think.. AWWWW.. CUTE! I WANNA DO THAT!!!!
How about all the moms/dads/aunts/uncles and peeps with kids in their lives. Are there any special things that you have always thought would be fun... or do NOW to build traditions?
5 comments:
This isn't a huge deal, but I buy a Christmas ornament for each child every year. I try to pick something that represents the last year for them. The plan is, once they are old enough to be living on their own I can pack up their ornaments for them and they'll have some great memories.
Once and awhile I slip a "love note" in Finn's lunch box too. It embarrasses him, but he secretly loves it.

PS Finn went to the YMCA today because there isn't any school...guess what he said on the way there? "Did you put a note in my lunch today?" See, he DOES like it!

Do you follow this blog?
She always makes bento lunches and posts the pictures...so creative! Thought I'd share since you seemed to like the idea so much and I don't see them on your blogroll. :) Enjoy!

Em Avenue Inc. will provide staffing services as a standalone service or as part of Event Management contracts to clients who have events in the GTA and Canada. Staff will be provided on a per hourly basis to clients who have events in the area. Costing for services will be based on the number of hours staff is needed for, distance to the event venue and the number of staff needed. Em Avenue Inc. provides people with industry experience as client satisfaction is important. Em Avenue Inc. will provide the following categories of staff:
- Brand Ambassadors
- Festival Staff
- Greeters
- Food and Beverage Staff
- Ticket takers/ Cashier
- Ushers
- Room Monitors
- Product Samplers
- Registration Staff

- Stewards
- Event Set Up and Take Down Staff
Staff are:
- Experienced
- Smart Serve certified
- Covered by WSIB
- Fully insured
Staff Ratio Guidelines
The following are staff ratio guidelines based on our recommendations. Feel free to call or email to discuss your specific event.
Cocktail Reception & Passed Hors D'Ouevres
A cocktail reception is often designed as a "flow through event" – your guests arrive, and move through the event space in a fluid nature, stopping momentarily to sample the culinary delights and beverages that are brought to the room. For this kind of service, we recommend 1 server for every 20-30 guests, and one stationary bartender for every 70 – 100 guests.
Sit Down Dinner
There is nothing quite like a well-executed dinner service. Meant to reflect the type of dinner service you'd receive at a 5-star restaurant, a sit-down dinner allows for intimate contact between guests while sharing a meal. Wait staff will wine and dine your guests while they kick up their heels and enjoy their meals. For this kind of service, we recommend 1 server for every 10-12 guests. For dedicated wine service, we recommend 1 bartender/wine steward for each 30-40 seated guests (unless your meal includes multiple wine pairings, which would merit additional wine stewards).
Stationary Food/Buffet Dinners
Don't like being tied down? Or are you working with limited space? Food Stations or Buffet Dinners allow your guests to customize their meal by sampling a wider variety of the fare you've provided. They'll get a chance to mingle while doing so and will still have our waitstaff to depend on for questions and cleanup. For this type of service, we recommend 1 server for every 20-30 guests.
"Family Style" Dinner Service
There is nothing quite like a family style dinner service to allow you to break bread with your guests. Large platters and bowls are served to each table for guests to help themselves to their meal and transfer it onto their own plates. This enables a more relaxed dining atmosphere and imparts a communal dining experience upon your guests. Waitstaff will remove and replenish platters and bowls as needed, and remove plates and cutlery as your guests finish. For this kind of service, we recommend 1 server for every 10-15 guests. In order to provide beverage service for a family style dinner, we recommend 1 bartender/wine steward for every 30-40 seated guests (unless your meal includes multiple wine pairings, which would merit additional wine stewards).
Our standard travel time guidelines are as follows:
GREEN ZONE City of Toronto proper [Area bordered by Victoria Park to the east, Hwy 401 to the north, Islington Ave to the west]: No travel time charge (as long as event is reasonably TTC accessible)
RED ZONE External city of Toronto: [Area bordered by Islington Ave to Hwy 427 to the west, 401 to the north, Victoria Park to Markham road to the east]: ½ hr Travel Time each way
PURPLE ZONE [Area between 401 to Hwy 7 to the North, Hwy 427 to Trafalger Rd to the west, Markham Road to Salem Rd to the east] : Roughly 1 hour Travel Time each way
BLUE ZONE [Area north of Hwy 7, West of Trafalger Rd, East of Salem Rd N]: Roughly 1.5 hours Travel Time each way
GOLDEN ZONE [Area north of Davis Drive/Hwy 9 , east of Harmony Rd South, West of Guelph Line] 2 hours Travel Time and up– please call/email for quote

Can you give me your feed back on this machine?
www.shop.beebesports.com The video on the web site could be better. The kid on the video is stepping and hitting a little different than what the instructions say on the web site, but it does give you the idea of how it works.
It's not a step (stride)and swing soft toss machine like Hands Back Hitter, but tap down on launch pad with foot to launch ball in the air, then load up and swing when ball reaches it's highest peak, or starts back down.
From what I've seen of it, it would be close to an A in all your categories below.

Does the device teach you something? (Y/)
This product is marketed by Ultimate Sports Co.
George Brett and Co. helped with the development of this product.
Swing Smarter Response:
Hello Gary and thank you for your submission of the Ultimate Hitting Machine. I would say you're right on on the grading, and at retail this gadget (on the site) goes for $129.95 (on sale for $109.95) which is reasonable for a toss machine.
One quick note on endorsements: I love George Brett and think he is one of the best players to ever play the game, so is Derek Jeter, but I find it hard to look at a system just because a BIG name endorses it...that aside,
You really can't go wrong with a toss machine as long as it's on a timer (or player initiated like this one), the value goes up when it scores high on our grading system.
The only glaring warning I would say for players/coaches to keep in mind when practicing with this device is to NOT get to heavy footed with the stride to pop the ball up...we have to keep the weight shifted back and "reach out" with the stride foot...the lighter the stride, the more stable the eyes.
Thanks and Happy New Year Hitting!
P.S. Wondering which baseball hitting aids are worth their weight in gold? Frustrated scowering the internet for over-hyped highly endorsed swing gadgets NOT doing a darn thing for your swing?
Swing Smarter and FOWL Ball's The Starting Lineup store is just what the baseball world is looking for...it's where we can find the "9 best baseball hitting aids on the planet."
It takes a lot for a hitting gadget to crack The Starting Lineup, because there are only 9 spots available.
Unfortunately, they aren't cheap AND some require a hefty investment...however, everyone knows we get what we pay for. If we purchase cheap baseball hitting aids, then we'll get cheap results; and if we're a seeker of non-quality non-functional products, then we'd highly recommend NOT visiting The Best Starting 9 today. Junk in, means junk out.

Being noticed is important when one exhibits at marketing events. There are good chances of having multiple hundreds of attendees there, all of who would be seeking for the same objective, which is time with potential clients. Whereas stunning, trade show displays which are custom made can indeed assist in distinguishing you from every other exhibitor at any particular event.
Certain matters of crucial importance can help make your business enterprise noticeable. If selling a product which is tangible, do ensure making it prominent at your stand. Where possible Derek Carr Raiders Jersey , work with function planners closely and inform them concerning your objectives in specific details.
When offering a particular service as opposed to merchandising some physical product. Provide a particular place for receiving the testimonies of customers regarding your trade offerings. Observing this act is a fabulous way of attracting even more visitors to your stall.
Many business entities opt to pay the event planners special fees in order to demonstrate professionalism. This is highly recommended if one is able to afford it. Small enterprises in business look at this as challenging because fees levied in most cases are beyond their budgets. Think about putting up a podium for your stage and integrating it with the larger exhibition space. Performing this action should offer you good advantage in pulling new visitors to your stall.
It is a common happening for exhibitors putting out small bowls of candy which help in enticing attendees to their stands. You might not stand out if doing something similar with what others are doing. Instead, seek for a treat which is unique. Consider getting a local bakery to serve your booth with delectable brownies, mini cupcakes or cookies for instance.
Ensure that your items are small sufficiently in order for visitors to feed easily using one hand without needing a plate. You might wish to exclude your other hand when carrying the personal effects of these clients, which as well is helpful for shaking their hands while welcoming them. Make provisions for trash can at a strategic spot around where your stand is located. This keeps visitors from needing to carry along napkins or even in some cases throwing them down onto floor.
It might be important to have special sound and lighting equipment. Such action ensures that you obtain maximum attention from attendees to trade show displays. Keep off doing gigs which offend neighboring exhibitors or in certain situations even scare away your prospects.

Senior Labour MPs leading their party's campaign for the UK to remain in the European Union (EU) have warned fellow party members and supporters on the left that the referendum could be lost unless their case is backed with more passion.
A chief concern, expressed by Members of Parliament (MPs) like of Alan Johnson and Chuka Umunna, is that the Remain referendum campaign is being overshadowed by talk of 'Blue on Blue' Tory infighting, as reported by Breitbart London, meaning Labour's more united pro-EU stance is lost.
According to The Observer, moderate Labour supporters of the EU are also concerned that their more stridently left-wing colleagues — including leaders of the union movement and grassroots organisations such as the Jeremy Corbyn-backing Momentum — are not yet committed to backing continued membership of the EU.
Alan Johnson MP said Labour supporters must now put "boots on the ground" to persuade working people that EU membership is crucial to their lives and prospects. Ignoring the likes of fellow Labour MPs Gisela Stuart, Frank Field and Kate Hoey, he said:
"The Tories are split on Europe; Labour is united. We have to make the case to members and get the vote out. It is particularly important for trade unions to be active participants, ensuring a bottom-up campaign focusing on the adverse effects that turning our backs on our continent will have on working people. There is no progressive case for leaving the EU, and we need to translate our unity into a victory for Labour values on 23 June."
Chuka Umunna MP, a former shadow business secretary who now heads the Labour campaign in London, said the referendum was "losable" if Labour fails to make its case for continued membership. In comments aimed at those who are only lukewarm in their support for his efforts, he resorted to what have become known as 'Project Fear' tactics, saying:
"My message to the left is, if you don't support this full throttle, you will be gifting a big victory to the dog-whistle politics of Nigel Farage which, if successful, will unleash a wave of nasty nationalism across our country. The EU is not perfect and must be reformed, but now is not the time for us to sit on our hands; now is the time for us to fight for the politics of solidarity and collaboration, which is core to our Labour values and beliefs."
Meanwhile, in a sign that he is perhaps beginning to address concerns that he is yet to engage with the Remain campaign, Jeremy Corbyn (pictured) has been accused of "rewriting history" after deleting a number of pieces critical of the EU from his website, along with hundreds of other outspoken articles and speeches.
The Telegraph reports none of the anti-EU articles can be accessed from his personal website, including one described as "a damning attack about the influence the bloc has over the British Government". In one article he wrote:
"There is a strong socialist argument against the Lisbon Treaty and the economic consequences that flow from it.
"What is also explicit in both the Maastricht Treaty and the Lisbon Treaty is the imposition of a market economy on Europe, a control on borrowing made by any member states' government and serious control on the political choices open to any one member state.
"Thus, the British government had to explain to the European Union why it proposed to take Northern Rock into public ownership, for how long it intended that to be the case and give assurances about the bank's future."
One senior Labour MP, recognising private concerns from colleagues that Mr. Corbyn is losing Labour support for the EU, said:
"Jeremy's problem is that he tells the truth all the time, that gets him into trouble with the party in general, but it also makes it easy to tell when he doesn't believe what he's saying, that's where he is with Europe.
"He is anti-EU, he hates the free market, and he is struggling to hide that."

should MS certify a driver which has already passed the test done by the

we saw BSOD in XP but it was quite different from 98 :-)). An Operating

The ReNEW curriculum
was developed to ensure that Wyoming nurses graduate with the knowledge and
competencies needed to advocate for and deliver quality patient-centered care
in a dynamic health care environment. Development of the curriculum was guided by the ReNEW mission, vision, and guiding principles.
Six core curricular concepts form ReNEW's organizing framework are woven throughout each course.
The ReNEW curriculum includes eleven End of Program Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs). A SLO identifies the expectations of each student who successfully completes the baccalaureate curriculum.
Each program's SLO is linked to one of the six core curricular concepts. For students who begin their program at a participating Wyoming community college, the curriculum includes eleven ADN Benchmark SLOs that identify the expectations of each ADN student who successfully completes the first five semesters of the ReNEW curriculum. Each ADN Benchmark SLO is linked to one of the six core curricular concepts.
It is becoming impossible to revise content-based health care curricula in response to the growing complexity of health care delivery. The ReNEW curriculum uses a concept-based learning approach designed to prepare nurses with enhanced clinical reasoning and problem-solving skills needed to quickly adapt and respond to the constant changes in health care. As healthcare practices evolve, graduates from the ReNEW curriculum will have the capacity to deliver competent care based on a deep understanding of core foundational concepts and contemporary information
All participating schools have the following prerequisite courses for ReNEW:
Students should visit with an advisor at the college they plan to attend for specific information about prerequisite courses.
Preceptor Modules have been created for preceptors at any educational program or clinical site in Wyoming. Preceptors are typically identified by the clinical facility and approved by the individual nursing program. Preceptors will experience a learning curve when precepting using a concept-based learning approach, or when precepting students who graduated from the ReNEW curriculum that is based on concept-based learning.
The Nursing Education Summit is held annually in May. This is a wonderful opportunity for all nurses and other interested persons to gather together to not only learn but to revolutionize nursing education.
Each Concept-Based Learning Clinical Activity Toolkit (CBLA) is a compilation of information, resources, activities or tools that can be used by faculty in any nursing program or clinical practice partner in Wyoming to implement concept-based learning activities during clinical course rotations or other clinically-related situations. Toolkits need to be standardized in appearance and contain language that is easily understandable to faculty and professionals in clinical practice. The toolkit should contain all the necessary information such that the user who reviews the Toolkit can easily replicate the clinical activity without questions (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2013). One CBLA equals one CBLA Toolkit.

Don't just take it from me, read below to hear REAL LIFE success stories from our incredible team. These are busy beings just like you from every walk of life, who took the chance to try the VFit Studio and now are living a healthier and happier life. Join our too and create your own STORY OF SUCCESS!
Surround yourself with those who
I'm Summer, and I'm currently a stay at home mom with my almost 2 year old. I live in San Jose, CA, with my husband, son, and two crazy dogs, who can often be seen wrestling in the background of classes.
I've always been active. I have two degrees in Kinesiology and have worked as a collegiate strength coach and a personal trainer for a few years, but I've always been better at training other people than I have been at training myself. Since having my son, my body still feels fairly foreign to me, which has been a huge struggle when figuring out how to train it. My friend Aimee mentioned Vfit a couple times before I decided to give it a shot. I figured I would take advantage of the free week, but there was no way I was going to sign up. There are a million workout videos on youtube I can do for free, why would I pay for it? I also have a gym membership. I joined a gym with child care to try to get back into shape for the 100th time, but my son hates being left. I usually end up with a super short and guilt ridden workout.
Once I started the classes, I immediately realized that it's so much different and better than I thought any online training could ever be. I love the accountability of a live instructor and having to sign up for classes. I sign up for the entire week the weekend before, and even if I have to drag myself out of bed or wrestle a flailing toddler, I know I have a class to show up for and work to do. I love not having to go anywhere and that each class is a short but brutal 30 mins. Time flies! The instructors are also always great. I appreciate being encouraged and not feeling bad when I need to do some of the lower impact options. Rachele has so many people to work with, but having her get to know me and notice my hard work and improvements makes it feel very personal. She is such a positive force, and that is so contagious!
I'm on my 8th week, and I don't see myself slowing down any time soon. I'm so excited and grateful to find something that I'm confident I can and will maintain. Finally!
Summer H, VFit Studio Member
I'm Nicole. I am a mom of 3 kids, ages 6, 4 and 10 months so life here is busy! I live in British Columbia, Canada and I am currently on a year long maternity leave from my teaching job.
I had the chance to meet Rachele in Maui when our kids were chasing lizards around the pool. I was so impressed with her passion for her business and curious to see if I could make it work for me, but for some reason I kept coming up with a million "reasons" not to try out the free week. So glad I finally did! I have been a member since July and, for the first time in forever, exercise is a regular and rewarding part of my life.
Life with three little kids is busy and in between nap times and school pick ups and drop offs, getting out of the house to exercise just did not happen, but I never could bring myself to put on a video. I love the community and connection with other team members and trainers that Rachele has created. Knowing that someone notices if I am missing makes me feel motivated and accountable, even on those early mornings. I love the variety of classes that Vfit offers. My current favorites are 30 in 30 and the relaxing evening yoga classes....what a perfect way to end a busy day!
I am getting ready to return to full time work in Jannuary and I know that I will be able to make Vfit continue to work with my schedule. Thank you Rachele for reminding me that I owe it to myself and my family to be the best version of me!
Nicole D, VFit Studio Member
After almost two years of being a foster mama in 2014 and 2015, and putting taking care of myself on the back burner for most of that time, my 2016 new year's resolution has been to take the year to "de-frumpify" myself in all areas. Because of this, I am so glad that Rachele and I crossed paths this year, and that I've found VFit Studio. Before the VFit Studio, I had been paying monthly for a gym membership that literally went unused for years.
It was just too hard with no child care at the gym, and my husband's long hours and unpredictable schedule. I really missed my "me" time! When I signed up for my free week with VFit Studio in late June, 2016, I remember feeling completely destroyed after my first couple of workouts. It had just been so long since I'd been working out regularly.
Every muscle I had (and even some that I didn't know I had!) hurt! But because the workouts are so efficient, and can be done from home (or wherever I am at the time!), it is so easy to fit in a good 30 minute workout! While my son is napping, or before he gets up in the morning. And some days, he even "wooks out" with me. For the first time in years, I'm now working out 5-6 days a week and I can feel that I'm getting stronger all the time!
My increased confidence even inspired me to take on and complete, a Whole30 challenge this summer as well! Overall, I am just so thankful to be back in the groove of getting my almost daily dose of endorphin's, and building muscles and confidence!
April B, VFit Studio Member
I've been a part of the VFIT studio for over 8 months and 7 of those months I've been pregnant. I run a business from home and I couldn't have found a better platform and community to work out with. It's just so damn easy to smash out a 30 minute workout and then get back to work. The trainers are amazing. They actually watch what you're doing and will correct your technique and motivate you to go harder. I used to go to gyms but dragging myself out of the house and actually attending a class was like mission impossible - ain't no body got time for that! Without VFIT I'd have totally given into pregnancy and become a reflection of Jabba the Hutt ,thankfully I've been able to continue my classes and have the trainers give me alternatives to all the moves I may not be able to master with a stomach the size of a watermelon. Oh and did I mention I live in Australia....If you haven't tried the VFIT studio you're missing out.

After having two kids and changing my career, I found it very difficult to find a fitness routine that I could stick with. Now I'm logging into a class at least 5 days a week! I started the studio in October and I feel amazing! I'm not only thinner but probably the strongest I've been in my life. And the best part is I've done it all from home!

"I feel like I've told Rachele this 100 times over the past four months of doing VFit, but the platform is amazing. I am humbled by how much it challenges me and am SO impressed by the muscles I keep finding!
As a avid runner, I've always been really good at squeezing in cardio and can usually find time and motivation to bang out a great run... but where I lacked was in strength training.
As a mom of a little one, trying to start my own business, and with very little time to myself, I simply can't spend 90 mins going to/from the gym and taking a class (...and I hate exercise DVDs...)
VFit really is the answer for me - to have live interaction with AMAZING instructors that know me, are glad to see me, expect me to be there, encourage me, push me to the next level, and constantly challenge me.... wow! It really is just what I needed.
I am so extremely thankful that my friend shared it's awesomeness with me! I started VFit in the fall just after finishing my first two sprint triathlons - I thought i was in "such great shape". Yeah... Rachele and her team proved me wrong in the best way!
VFit challenges me every single day, with every single class and I finally feel like I'm well rounded, have a strong heart AND muscles!"

For me, the best part of working out is the community. I am not one of those people who likes long runs or hikes by myself. Nope. I need people – to distract me, cheer me or push me. And that's what I've found with VFit Studio. Great people. I started out doing personal training sessions twice a week with Rachele and loved her energy and attitude about fitness. When she launched VFit, I was excited to try it out. I was still working with a trainer at my gym, but over time I realized that by adding VFit classes to my personal training sessions with Rachele, I was getting a better workout, at a better price and from the convenience of my own home. So I've said goodbye to the trainer at my gym, but I still have my people – all of the VFit trainers – cheering me on and pushing me forward on my fitness journey.

I'm Megan, and I've been doing VFit for almost a year now! I found out about it from a college friend, and was initially skeptical about the difference between Vfit and any old YouTube or online workout,...BUT I immediately started getting addicted to the accountability, efficiency, and interaction with the excellent instructors.
Plus I love that there are so many class choices. I can always mentally and physically push myself for 30 minutes, even when I am exhausted.
I'm thankful to be able to be at home with our three children, twin boys aged 5 and a daughter aged 2. I have always been an exerciser and a runner, but after having 3 kids in 3 years, it was really challenging to find any time for myself.
As the boys got bigger, pushing them in the jogging stroller was not good for me anymore. To complicate matters, after having twins and then one more, my abdominal muscles had a huge separation that took months of physical therapy to repair, just to get back to the point where I could exercise normally again.
I was getting more and more out of shape. I was getting to the gym once a week, running occasionally, and trying to sneak in other videos, but it wasn't working well with the rest of my life. And it was too easy to make excuses!
Now with VFit, I can sneak in 1 or 2 classes almost EVERY day, sometimes with my kids climbing on me, playing in the backyard, or after they go to bed. I love not having to leave my house to get a quality workout! I also really appreciate the supportive community of other busy women and the super encouraging instructors. I'm really glad to be a part of the Vfit team and look forward to continuing to improve my fitness. "

To me the VFit Studio means family, support, motivation, encouragement, inspiration, convenience, fun, challenges, the BEST trainers, and RESULTS! I am so happy to share this experience with my daughter, Stephanie Anne, who got me hooked on this wonderful program. I have loved watching Rachele grow the program as effectively as she has managed to do! In spite of making it look easy, there is obviously a lot of hard work and progressive thinking that has gone into this platform. The incorporation of the challenges, the active Face Book groups and new classes continues to keep it fresh and motivating. Finally, I love the kids and pets who work out with their parents — they keep it real!
Leslie O, VFit Studio Member
I am loving VFit Studio! I've been a regular since spring of 2016. I prefer to work out in the mornings. My husband works at 6am at the local golf course in the summertime and we have a 3 year old son, so my am workout sessions were limited at the gym.
I used to teach Willpower and spinning (taught willpower until I was 6 months pregnant) and I also used to coach skiing and swimming (also until 6 months pregnant) but now I have a desk job and am feeling the effects of a sedentary lifestyle.
VFit Studio gets me up and out of bed, even when I don't feel like it. I love the trainers and the social interaction I get from the classes. I love seeing other vfitters around town and connecting over our online workouts.
I've done Beacbody 21 day fix but got tired of the 7 workouts. I love the variety of VFit and am never bored or knowing what is next.
The evening yoga sessions are a great addition as are the taped recordings for the odd minute when I can squeeze in some movement.
Lindsay B, VFit Studio Member
I feel like I found VFit at the perfect time! We moved to rural Maine from Malaysia about a year ago. In Malaysia I felt like there were always convenient exercise options that were also social, so I didn't have a problem making time for it. In transitioning to Maine, I wasn't sure how I was going to exercise regularly. I didn't have the motivation to head to the gym (20 minutes away), to do a YouTube workout, or to go running by myself.
I couldn't find anything that was 'sticking'. Then I hurt my knee on a hike (darn those fall leaves!) and was out of commission for a few months. When I was just feeling like I could start normal exercise again, my college friend Meghan Lamb Bair sent out an email about a free week, which I was intrigued by. I started slowly and mostly low impact and can now do most of the high intensity moves.I love the different options of times and classes, and can usually make at least one class a day (although my favorites are the early morning East Coast classes!). I feel great and I love that I don't have to leave the house to exercise.
Emily E, VFit Studio Member
Hi, my name is Amanda Agee and my husband, Brian, and I live in a small (think 5 blocks by 5 blocks) community, outside of Salinas in Monterey County. We have two busy, fun, creative, and adorable kiddos.
I work full time from home as an Administrator for Ocean Grove Charter School. We are a public charter school where all of our students are homeschooled by their parents. I oversee and train 22 Education Specialists (teachers), which works out to also overseeing about 450 - 500 students!
I found VFit thanks to an accidental Facebook post by my dear friend, Jessica, who is a current VFit member. She thought she was posting to the Members Only VFit page and actually posted on her regular page. Many of us were intrigued, asked questions, got answers, and here I am!
To be completely honest, I don't enjoy exercise. I never have been successful at going to a gym, walking on a regular basis, working out at home, staying accountable with a group of friends, but VFit has completely changed that for me.I just told a friend today "I look forward to working out each day!" I have never said that before VFit and that is huge! VFit includes all of the things I have liked about group exercise and combines it into one: being with people, accountability, brief but affective sessions, friendly, understanding, and convenient. I love knowing that I have signed up for a class and someone is expecting me, but not having to rush out the door, drop off kids, or carve out over an hour to get it done. I have super early risers, so getting my workout done and out of the way by 7:00am most mornings has been a huge part of why I have found VFit to be the right choice for me. 30 minutes is another huge bonus. It is hard to rationalize why I don't have 30 minutes to devote to me. In those 30 minutes I am dripping in sweat, need to shower, and feel 10 times better than before the class started. The variety is also great. I get bored easily and being able to mix up the type of classes I take has been wonderful. Tabata and 30 in 30 are two of my favorites! I truly feel that finding VFit has changed my life and will continue to do so.
My kids are seeing me as an active mom for the first time ever and it shows. They cheer me on, join in with me, and like to share that Mommy exercises most mornings. This alone is enough to keep me going and helps me push through those days or weeks that might be harder than others to get to class and stay accountable.
To Rachele, Steph, Leslie, and Shari...thank you for all that you do for me, and for the entire VFit community!
Amanda A, VFit Studio Member
Working out for me has always been a big challenge. I am a single parent and a full time teacher. I have always been active but, as you can imagine, I had always had a hard time making a workout routine stick. After a full day of working, it would seem insurmountable to get a sitter, get to a class, and then come home and be mom and house manager.
When Rachele first launched VFit, I was really eager to try it out. Not only do I love Rachele's positive and enthusiastic energy, I felt like the platform could a be a really successful one for me. It was a doable time frame, doable in my living room and had an added bonus of friendly accountability. Seemed like a total win!
I loved it from the get-go! Fun and challenging classes, a great online community, and I was actually getting regular exercise in for first time ever.
For the first several months I was a 2-3 classes a week person and that was working for me. But I also found that only a few classes made it really easy to have big exercise gaps if I missed a class or two in a row.
So, this summer I decided to give myself a challenge of stepping up how many classes I took per week. My goal was to take a class a day. I don't always make it every day, but I am averaging 4-6 classes per week and I feel amazing.
Not only have I noticed that I am gaining visible muscle (woo hoo!), I noticed that I feel markedly better when I exercise daily. School starts tomorrow for me, and I know it will be challenging to keep up with my goal, but i am committed to making it happen. I have discovered that I like exercising in the afternoons more than the wee hours before school. But I am prepared to do both to make it happen. I am also going to probably have a class or two a week I do in my own classroom after school. (That should make for a fun background, Rachele!)
I love VFit and recommend it to all my friends! It really is an awesome exercise platform and a wonderful fitness community.
Brianna L, VFit Studio Member
One day at my daughters kindergarten class, I was chatting with a fellow mom about exercise and when/how we find time to do it.
She mentioned Vfit and sent me the info for a free week pass the following week.
I tried the free week, loved it and eventually joined.
I've always been an exerciser and even taught classes myself a couple years ago, so exercise is REALLY important to me.
Vfit classes provides so many formats and high quality, challenging workouts for every fitness level.
I'm discovering new formats I enjoy and returning to old favorites.
It's convenient in accessibility and timing, thirty minutes and done.
I have three small children so this is key for me. There are no gimmicks and the focus is not on losing weight fast. It's a community of strong women getting stronger and healthier by taking small steps every day! We know it's about the long view.
I just love it! I tell my husband all the time how happy it makes me.
I squated and planked my way through the holidays this year like never before, which I know kept my stress level down and kept me feeling strong and grounded while reaching for my pumpkin pie.
Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this format. In 2017, I'm looking forward to continuing to regain more of my pre baby strength and increasing my balance.
I'm coming for you, mountain climbers and push-ups.
Beth B., VFit Studio Member
Hello, name is Cathy and I am a VFit Studio addict!
My husband (who now joins me for some classes, but shhh) and I live in a quiet little rural town in California's Eastern Sierra range. Now that our two sons are adults, I have found my second career and passion as a Metalsmith and Jeweler, which means I spend many hours working in my home.
Rachele and I worked together in an office job and quickly became friends. In fact, we both decided and encouraged each other to leave our office jobs to pursue other interests. When Rachele launched VFit Studio, it was natural that I would hop right in to support my friend. I quickly found that this platform was incredible and exactly what I needed in my life! Rachele's enthusiasm, dedication to fitness and the team of inspiring trainers she brought on board are just a few of the things that make this platform so special.
Living and working 15 miles from the closest gym, I began to workout less often. I was beginning to feel fitness decline and was not happy about it, but the travel to the gym was just so much of a disruption to my workflow and creativity that I wasn't motivated to do it. I have always been active and continued going for walks and hikes, but I needed more to stay fit.
As the saying goes at the VFit Studio, "you are just one workout away from a good mood". It's the truth. I start each day with a 7am workout. Recently I've stepped up my workouts and added an afternoon class as, well as evening yoga. Some days I'm taking 3 classes, but still able to be productive because I don't need to leave the house and travel to a gym. I have increased my fitness to a level I didn't think possible at my age and I'm motivated to keep going!! I can't say enough good things about this format!
The format is exactly what I needed to get my fitness level back. Rachele offers 30 minute classes throughout the day, so you can almost always make it to at least one class. The online classes are live and ALL of the trainers are really awesome. EVERY class is fun, effective and the trainers are all so encouraging and inspiring. They provide modifications for different fitness levels.
The variety of class's means there is something for everyone. There are cardio workouts, sculpting workouts, barre, Piyo, yoga and so much more. It's incredible that I can get an incredibly effective workout in 30 minutes, and get right back to work.
I can't recommend VFit Studio enough for anyone who needs to add more fitness into their life without sacrificing extra time. You won't regret joining this team!
Cathy E, VFit Studio Member
Hi, my name is Misa and I am lucky enough to be home with my two girls, 4 years old and 2 years old. I am so thankful to my friend who introduced me to Vfit Studio just over a year ago. I tried the free week, just to see what Vfit was all about. I had no intention of joining since I already had a gym membership and LOVED my classes!
I soon realized I could keep my gym membership and work out once a week (if I was lucky). OR workout from home 5 days a week with VFit and all my besties. For me, it was a no brainer!
I have always been an active person, but since having kids I was having a hard time finding the time to work out. Vfit was the perfect solution for me! My workouts are done in 30 minutes, I don't have to leave my house and I get work out with my girls. They love working out with me and are currently working on perfecting their burpees.
Misa P, VFit Studio Member
My name is Kristen and I am U.S. Diplomat currently posted in Cairo, Egypt with my husband and our 16 month-old daughter (and fellow VFitter) Vivian.
I had a fairly traumatic pregnancy and delivery last year which left me with several permanent physical injuries and a raging case of postpartum depression. I spent the first few months of Vivian's life at home in both physical and mental pain while trying to figure out how I was going to get back in shape AND take care of her.
I found VFit over the summer while we were between assignments in the States. I was hanging out with my good friend, Kathy Kurinsky (hey girl!) and talking about my health and how hard it had been to find a fitness routine that worked for me overseas.
I was dying for some way to get active again to help both my body and my mind. She told me about this amazing new platform she was using and how much she loved the instructors and the classes.
Lucky for me there was a free week that month so I signed up and took a few classes. I loved that I could work out from home, with my daughter in her crib or playpen, and that I didn't need to buy a bunch of DVDs or equipment.
We moved to Egypt at the end of the summer and having VFit has been a lifesaver. I can workout from my house (or my office!) and with so many great formats I'm never bored. I'm feeling stronger and healthier and finally like I'm on the right path to get fit again.
Kristen, VFit Studio Member
I am Colleen, and my husband and I have 2 kids. I was competitively active in sports my entire life, until "life" caught up with me and my kids and career took center stage. Over time my weekly exercise had gradually decreased to a minimum.
Once I had my kids they became my top priority, and since I was already having horrible "mom-guilt" about sending them to daycare all week, there was NO WAY that I was going to miss a second of time with them at home to make time to go to the gym or a soccer game.
Since I am in outside sales I spend a ton of time in the car driving to customer meetings etc. It isn't out of the ordinary for me to spend 4 – 5 hours in the car a day.
I work a lot of time in the evenings after the kids go to bed, so working out at night wasn't an option either. I was completely sedentary since all of my time was spent sitting in the car or on a computer.
I didn't realize it at the time, but I was unhappy, and wasn't giving anything back to myself. I kept hoping for exercise to find its way into my life someday but I wasn't sure how to make it happen.
I couldn't imagine how I would squeeze even 30 minutes into my day. but gave my free VFit Studio week a try. They stress that making time for yourself will make me a happier and better mom and that really hit home for me.
I was immediately hooked! The classes were just what I needed – short and effective ways to get in some healthy exercise back into my life.
I love that I don't have to go anywhere, and that I can stop working a few minutes before a class and jump right into it.
The team mentality is infectious and having to be accountable for showing up to class has really helped me to stick with the schedule I set for myself.
Another unexpected benefit is that ALL of the coaches have such a positive and infectious outlook into OVERALL health – just physical exercise, but mental well-being, eating healthy, and positive energy.
You literally cannot leave the Vfit studio without having a smile on your face.
My family has been so supportive with helping me gain some me time back into my life – now my husband usually picks up the kids in the afternoon, and often times starts making dinner so that I can get in a class or two.
The kids love to watch me or participate in classes which are a lot of fun. I love hearing them talk about my "exercise class" and sometimes my 4 year old will even call me out if he notices I wasn't doing a class when he gets home for the day. They run around the house yelling "warrior three, and high knees" and we have races in the front yard now for fun.
I am so much stronger than I was only a few short months ago, and I can't wait to continue on this path. Rachele, Steph, Shari, and Leslie thank you for all that you have given to me, my family, and the entire Vfit team!
Colleen M, VFit Studio Member
I met Rachele when she was teaching the baby boot camp class (even though my youngest baby is 32!). I would attend her class with my daughter-in-law, Jackie Powell.
I remember the first class I took where I couldn't even jog around the gym without huffing and puffing. The altitude really got to me (we live in Delaware at sea level), but I enjoyed Rachele's classes every time we visited.
I got involved with VFit in May 2016 when I purchased a punch pass....I had taken a free week earlier. My husband and I were members of the Delaware "Y", so I planned to use VFit when we traveled to our NY home.
I took several VFit classes and loved them, and also joined the 30 day challenge back in June. I loved the commitment of doing one exercise per day for a minute. I actually ended up winning a 3 month pass, and I began using it regularly at home in Delaware, and when we traveled.
Quickly, my "Y" classes took a back seat when I realized the convenience of VFit. I loved VFit more and more and saw the many benefits.
1. No travel time
2. I am much less likely to skip a class when I don't have to get dressed and go out of my house(I actually did a VFit class in my pajamas once).
3. VFit goes everywhere there is internet....so I have exercised in hotels, in a lodge in Alaska, in Kenya ( I worked on my planks there), and in friends homes.
4. The instructors are so encouraging, they always give variations for all skill levels so YOU CAN'T HELP BUT SUCCEED!
5.They are more than instructors...they are friends, and you KNOW they care about you as an individual. I ended up dropping my "Y" membership and now I am strictly a VFit member.
I love VFit and have seen my strength, balance, and endurance increase. If you haven't tried VFit, you are missing a great opportunity to succeed in making exercise a lifestyle.
Awesome exercise platform and a wonderful fitness community.
Sharon P, VFit Studio Member
I had a baby in the summer of 2015 and quickly became good friends with a number of other local moms. We had lots of discussions about "fitting it all in" - not just exercise, but really anything and everything. We all shared tips to make everyday life with a newborn easier.
One of the moms posted on her FB page that the VFit Studio was having a free trial week and I thought "can't hurt to try". It worked!!
I stopped feeling guilty about being out of the house to work out, or going to a local yoga studio and keeping my phone on next to me in case the baby woke up and needed to nurse. When I started with VFit it was a really great way for me to slowly start to get my normalcy back. The flexibility meant I could jump out of class if the baby woke up, or use her as a weight
My baby is now 16 (almost 17!) months now and I'm still hooked on the platform. I've gotten used to my new normal, and VFit has become such a solid part of it. Never in my life have I kept up a consistent fitness routine for this long.
I would have bursts of great workouts and then get distracted or start to make excuses. But now I don't have any excuses. I've always been a planner and I've learned I'm a morning work out person (never would have thought that), so checking my VFit app and signing up for classes in advance has become part of my routine and has made it possible for me to organize most of my days to start with a workout.
And, for the first time EVER my husband (a marathon runner, triathlete, etc) is saying that I'm inspiring him to workout. This summer we were away for a month with no wifi and I still managed to put together my own workouts from what the VFit trainers have taught me (and even lead a couple workouts for my husband). I NEVER would have done that before. Honestly, I would look at vacation as a great excuse to be lazy and not do anything. Because of VFit I'm in the best shape of my life!
I think it's easy to see that this program is great for parents who want to maximize their time at home (my daughter now jumps and does squats on my yoga mat), but it's also for anyone that struggles to find the time to get their workouts in. I've recommended it to so many from every walk of life because it works so well for everyone!
And the best thing is the community. The trainers live all over, but they are genuinely excited to see us, they push us to come back to classes, to get stronger and just keep going. This is what keeps me motivated. Thank you!
Lindsey S, VFit Studio Member
" When I first started the Vfit Studio, the greatest part was the convenience of working out from home. I didn't have to worry about what to do with my one year old son while I was at the gym.
With owning my own business, my schedule was already chaotic and it was so easy to fit in a 30 minute class. After getting pregnant again the benefits became so much more.
Unlike a video, there are live instructors to offer modifications that have kept me working out through my entire pregnancy.
It's like having a personal trainer.
I also love that I had a selection of different styles of classes, from mellow Yin yoga when I was feeling sick the first trimester, to cardio to strength classes as I was feeling stronger later on.
But I've learned that my favorite part of Vfit Studio is the team, or more so the family that you become a part of when you join.
The motivation that comes from watching the other members grow stronger and hearing their stories of how being #vfitstrong has impacted their lives is not something you can get at any gym."
Stephanie Anne, Client
is not a destination
it is a way of
Rachele's approach to fitness and health is truly inspiring and well balanced. I've always been mindful of nutrition and exercise, but the level of passion and care that she brings to both brings them together in a way that has elevated my own personal journey to peak health. Her fitness classes are varied, true butt kickers, and a blast. She knows when to push you harder, eek out another rep, correct your form, make you laugh. A former devout pre-baby crossfitter, I've been impressed by how intense and rewarding her Baby Boot Camp classes are, along with many online body-weight HIIT workouts she's shared on Facebook I do from home. Nutrition wise, it's also great to share the same paleo philosophies and get new food ideas out of her stream on a near-daily basis. What a welcome addition to my life to have met Rachele and had her help re-inspire me each day to be healthier and a better mom and wife to my family by focusing on health.

I love VFit Studio because it just doesn't get any easier, affordable or effective! I have been trying gyms, diets, and exercise routines over the years and couldn't really stick with anything. As a 50ish woman, I had pretty much given up on trying anything new. But now Rachele, and her awesome trainers have totally turned it around.
I love the ease of setting up a mat, weights and a glass of water and boom, ready to roll. No driving into town or getting fancy for the gym. The format of 1/2 hour classes make it possible for me to work my way up from semi-couch potato to active and soon-to-be fit grandma. There's plenty of variety and it's live! You are there with others and the trainer is pumping you up with positive reinforcement, a variety of levels for the moves and advice on correct form. I really love it!
Lori Lee, Client
I began working out with Rachele when she launched her online training in 2013, and I love it! I have never stuck with any fitness routine. I lacked the motivation to leave the house early in the AM, especially in the winter. I was very bored with my elliptical, and knew I really needed to develop a workout program. Rachele is motivational and inspiring! I look forward to working out with her via Skype, she is there with a smile. I can't believe I look forward to anything at 6:30 am, but I enjoy our workouts. Rachele's focus on proper form, complete body strength and health have made a big impact on me. I have incrementally developed strength and stamina! I also have made better choices with food, and am inspired to shop and cook healthier meals. I am over 50, and the have raised a beautiful family. Working out with Rachele is my treat to myself!
