I recently directed a product commercial for Cinder (www.cindercooks.com), a home appliance that cooks food to the perfect temperature every time. It does this by enclosing the protein (poultry, beef, fish) or vegetable inside a sealed compartment then heating the entire area to a specific temperature. For example, if you want your steak cooked Medium, you can set up your Cinder by tapping a few buttons on your iPad, putting the meat into the device...and walking away. Seriously. Cinder will send a notification to your phone when your food is done cooking. Then, the device will hold it at the proper temperature for as long as you want.
Your food will never be over or under cooked again.
Want perfectly crisped hashbrowns? There's a setting for that. Want to cook apple slices until they taste like pie filling? Yep. Want to caramelize onions without having to stir them for 30 minutes? Done. Using the Almighty Science, Cinder takes the guesswork (and legwork) out of cooking so you can spend your time doing other things...
Like checking out the commercial I made for them:

I was excited to find out that Google will be having offices in Latin America which shows that there is a growing interest in the Latino market and that means more emphasis will be placed on improving keyword optimization in the Spanish language. The Spanish language translated into English is challenging because Spanish words from various Latin American countries have different meanings and connotations. Fortunately, there are experts out there that have experience in providing vital education in this area and luckily some can be found at the 2011 SES Conference and Expo on March 21-25 in New York.
According to the website, the SES Conference & Expo is the leading global event series that educates delegates in search and social marketing, putting a special focus on tactics and best practices. SES Events provide instruction from the industry's top experts, including representatives from the Search Engines themselves. Approximately 5,000 marketers and search engine optimization professionals attend SES New York each year to network and learn about PPC management, keyword research, SEO, social media, local, mobile, link building, duplicate content, multiple site issues, video optimization, site optimization, usability and more. SES New York will be packed with 70+ sessions, multiple keynotes, 100+ exhibitors, networking events and parties.
The Focus Latino Track will be on the second day on March 23 of the conference, and will feature speakers like Mark Lopez from Google and Giovanni Rodriguez from BroadVision. Latinvision is sponsoring the track. The sessions presented is the Focus Latino Introduction and Opening Keynote, Reaching Latinos Through SEO, Search and Social Marketing to Latinos and Analytics for the Latino Markets. Check the agenda schedule online for more detailed information. I really encourage those who want to learn more about SEO to attend.

Google opened its offices in Mexico at least 8 years ago, maybe more. Nevertheless, with the hiring of Mark Lopez to lead U.S. Hispanic recently and the company's opening offices in Peru, Colombia, etc, now Google has taken a stronger position.
Have a great time at the conference Frankie!!
Thanks for the comment Joe. Unfortunately, I won't be going to this year's conference but hopefully next year.
The teaching of the history of South and Central America has been political as well as historical. The influences of indigenous tribes and the descendants of African slaves has been ignored or marginalized. These influences can be observed in the language and other aspects of culture.
So true Sylvia, deep research needs to be taken within the Latino community and targeted region before any marketing communication occurs within the Latino market.
It's a big business that will grow and will definitely get bigger, it's good that people over there have the opportunity to learn and make some good jobs off of this

Offshore oil rig jobs are not for everybody. The majority of these jobs are international and require a lot of travel. It is a risky and difficult task which has to be done in inclement weather. However, they offer fantastic incentives, growth potential as well as learning. The remuneration or salary is completely not an issue for the reason that, even the dishwashers earn as much as seven hundred dollars per week as starting pay.
Kinds of Jobs
There are several kinds of jobs available when working offshore on an oil rig. For example, people are hired to work at the deck, the control room, electrical and mechanical department, the catering department, rig management, as well as for drilling. Others are employed as radio operators, scaffolders, mud engineers, training and safety coordinators, rig welders, painters and medics.
The catering team comprises the camp boss, cook and the stewardess who take care of the cleaning, laundry and catering.
The rig management is made up of offshore installation managers and tool pushers. Offshore installation managers are charged with the responsibility of managing the entire rig, while tool pushers work within the rig floors and rig offices.
The mechanical department employs motormen, maintenance supervisors and mechanics who are tasked with all the mechanical operations. The electrical department hires electronic technicians, maintenance supervisors and electricians who ensure that all electrical equipment is in good working order.
On the deck, individuals are employed as roustabout and foremen. Their task is to look after the deck region. Also, there are crane operators who take charge of all crane operations. Pumpmen and Roughnecks are charged with looking after the equipment as well as taking mud weights. The dereckman's major responsibility is maintaining the equipment in the mud.
Control room workers comprise control room operators, assistant CROs, and barge engineers who man the control room.
There are also several entry-level offshore oil rig jobs. The lower positions do not require any formal education. However the higher level jobs require some higher education. The oil industry is growing at a very fast pace and thus pursing a career within this field is very bright and prosperous. It offers you a chance to work anywhere on the globe within a work environment that has very high safety standards.
The beginning salary for an individual with no prior experience is something between forty thousand dollars to sixty thousand dollars per annum, and workers are required to work for only six months per year. In addition, the major oil firms provide life and medical insurance. It is an exciting and highly rewarding career.
These jobs require you to be in excellent physical condition; also you have to pass some medical examinations. Even though the mean age for these jobs is 26, you are free to apply for drilling contractor or coast guard posts, if you are under eighteen years of age.
Oil rig jobs are quite easy to get, if you search in the appropriate place and prepare very well. You should exercise some patience, join the industry at the entry level and climb the ladder with experience.

Senior Wealth Analyst Bartosz Golba has been working on our "Self-Directed Investors: Implications for Wealth Managers" report. Here we ask him about what he discovered in his research, and the key trends to look out for over the course of the year.
What was the most interesting thing that you found out when writing "Self-Directed Investors: Implications for Wealth Managers" and why?
I was slightly surprised to discover that globally only a fraction of HNW investors choose to self-direct because they don't trust the wealth management industry. Clearly the financial crisis is long forgotten and wealth managers have been doing a good job of nurturing relationships with their clients. Yet at the same time competitors have to face client's eagerness to save on fees. Once again quite surprisingly, this is more pronounced in mature rather than emerging economies, with traditional wealth centers such as Singapore, Switzerland, and the US being the most price-sensitive across the globe.
What do you think are the most important trends affecting self-directed HNW investors' preferences?
These are quite similar to issues that affect the wealth management industry in general. Firstly, regulatory scrutiny on fee transparency obviously contributes to the aforementioned growing price-sensitivity, and our data shows that wealth managers in Europe are still uncertain about how their self-directed clients will react to MiFID II. Secondly, various digital tools and platforms are becoming more sophisticated but also more user-friendly and visually attractive, further encouraging investors to try investing on their own rather than opting for advisory or discretionary mandates. We have all heard about robo-advisors, and even if they are not a proposition that fits HNW individuals' needs perfectly, some features of automated advice platforms – such as ongoing reporting or online previews of portfolio performance – can certainly be leveraged to the benefit of traditional wealth management services.
What do you consider to be the main challenge for wealth managers given these trends?
Wealth management firms have been focusing on increasing the cost-effectiveness of their operations and also pushing towards discretionary mandates, which offer better margins than execution-only platforms. The challenge is how to achieve greater mandate penetration when HNW clients pay attention to the cost of advice. Quite paradoxically, the recent volatility in capital markets may turn out to be a godsend for asset and wealth managers. If they deliver good rates of return, investors won't mind paying more for better results. However, outperforming the market in times of uncertainty will itself be a challenge for most asset managers.

Part A. The banned list.
No Alcohol
No Smoking
No Caffeine
No Drugs - doctor-prescribed stuff is ok, as is Advil or whatever for those 'week 2 headaches,' but nothing else.
No "Big Bread" - this basically means no bread/bagels/muffins/etc. But, a pita is ok, and so is a tortilla.
No Red Meat or Pork - giving up bacon really sucks.
No Pasta
No Cheese
No Sugar
No Chips / Crackers
No Cream / Cream Sauces
No Artificial Sweeteners (aspartame, saccharin, etc.)
No Fried Foods
No Butter / Margarine
No Fast Food
No added salt - you can cook with salt, but no dumping table salt on you food after it hits the plate.
Part B. The allowances.
Light salad dressing is allowed on salad - hey, if i'm going to eat a freaking salad...
Small portions of Rice are allowed - for things like sushi, or a wrap can be "light on the rice"
Only enough Oil to cook with is allowed. About 1/2 tbsp per serving (less if possible)
Part C. Amnesty Day.
We are human, and sometimes we mess up. With health month, this is built in. You get one 'Amnesty Day' for the month. This means that for one day, you can have One of the things on the banned list. So, if there's a party you want to go to during HM, you can use your amnesty day then and have a drink. Or if you have a crazy sweet tooth, you can have a piece of cake at the end of week 2, as a halfway point reward.

automatic recognition of D drive
windows 7 is not automatically recognizing a data disc when i place it in the D drive. How do I click on the automatic recognition?? I know it can be found somewhere, but where??

autoplay vs autorun
thank you for you interest in helping me. perhaps if i explain what is happening it will help you in solving the problem. a while ago i bought a new printer. the printer came with an installition disc. when i put the install disc into the d drive all that would happen is a icon for roxio burn would appear on the desktop. in order for me to install the new printer i eventually had to go to my computer and right click on the d drive icon while the printer data disc was there. this allowed me to enter the set-up menu for the printer off of the data disc. so basically what i am saying is that in the past whenever i put an install disc in the d drive for something like a printer, game, etc., windows 7 would automatically recognize the disc and launch it into the set-up mode. it no longer does this but only brings up a roxio burn icon as if i want to burn a copy of the disc. i checked the autoplay on my control panel and the box is checked for autoplay to run on all media. something is interfering with windows automatically recognizing a disc when i place it in the d drive.

The blue NOTE box at the top of the tutorial above will help explain more about the changes made about AutoRun in Windows to help prevent malware from being able to automatically run from external media.
You should at least get a AutoPlay pop-up dialog that you can click on to "Run setup.exe" though. Double check to make sure that you have your AutoPlay settings set to Ask me every time.

Using a bread machine is too easy for loaf making, so the Thermomix will probably never take over this job for me. However, thanks to the Thermomix, I often grind my own flour from whole grains such as quinoa, oats etc. and seeds to supplement my spelt bread flour as a nutrient boost for our homemade bread. I also have lots of fun making gourmet breads such as yeast-based savoury and sweet scrolls and I do have plans to venture into making flat, turkish and flavoured twist breads. I have some recipes on hand and others I'd like to develop, so I'm definitely no expert and would love to hear from anyone who has really delved into this area. Please leave a comment on my Mixing it up in HK Facebook page or directly on this blog :)
Moving from breads to pizzas . . . my family are also a big fan of homemade pizza using a homemade pizza base of course, but I still like to make my pizza base in the bread machine. I make my dough from half white and half wholemeal spelt flour and usually add 1/2 cup of seeds such as flax. If you don't own a bread machine, you could use the Everyday Cooking Book recipe or try Quirky Cooking's gluten-free or spelt pizza dough.
Here is a recent pizza topping family favourite of ours . . . Moroccan lamb pizza. You could easily use Moroccan seasoning for this recipe but I like to blend my own seasoning using freshly ground spices where possible. Also, Moroccan seasoning is difficult to come by in Hong Kong.
Moroccan Lamb Pizza
1 x lamb backstrap (360g) or leg lamb, diced
1 large garlic clove
1 red onion, halved
20g EVOO
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch cayenne pepper
a few grinds of sea salt & black pepper
1 1/2 tbsp tomato paste
8 sml vine ripened tomatoes (or use cherry tomatoes), sliced
175g butternut pumpkin, peeled, deseeded, thinly sliced (optional)
150g feta cheese, crumbled
2 tbsp pinenuts
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves
- Preheat oven to 220°C and prepare two pizza pans with olive oil and a sprinkling of flour.
- Mince lamb strap in TM bowl by pulsing the Turbo button a few times. Put the mince aside.
- Add the red onion and garlic to the TM bowl and chop 5 seconds on speed 7.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add spices and oil and sauté for 2 minutes at 100°C on speed 1.
- Add the mince and cook for 10-15 minutes at 100°C on speed 1 or until any liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the mince from the bowl and set aside.
- Rinse out the TM bowl and fill with 500g water. Use the Varoma to steam your pumpkin. I didn't have any in the fridge when I last made this pizza (see photo), but it is a lovely addition to the pizza.
- While the pumpkin is steaming, spoon the tomato paste over the pizza bases. Divide the lamb mixture, sliced tomato, pumpkin, fetta and pine nuts between the two rounds. Place on preheated trays and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pizza base is browned.
- Scatter with freshly chopped mint and serve immediately.
no thermomix?Use a stovetop to prepare your Moroccan lamb in a saucepan and steam your pumpkin. You can mince your own lamb using a food processor or mincer (or buy lamb mince).
- Add extra cayenne pepper for more kick and use rounded teaspoon measures for a more intense Moroccan flavour. This recipe is child-friendly :-)
- Use natural yoghurt blended with freshly chopped mint in place of the feta or you could make this pizza dairy-free by omitting both!
- add fresh baby spinach leaves
- Use chopped baby beetroot (drained from can) instead of pumpkin. Scatter over pizza with mint after cooking.

So I love the AFLAC duck commercials; they are the best. I hate advertisers, but this series is so cute, it's the best. Well, some poultry rights people have some protest against it, like it negatively portrays a duck or abuses it or whatever. It was at http://www.upc-online.org/alerts/020304aflac_duck.html
Supposedly ducks are being degraded. So I wrote the head honcho the following:
I understand your concern and humane foresight for the portrayal of a duck being abused, but the notion of protesting AFLAC into changing the nature of their duck's portrayal is illogical at best. Why is this a quest of yours, when, as an animal rights conscious citizen, I see so many other injustices in today's society, particularly with poultry, that you waste time with a campaign that I find amusing, creative, and clearly without abuse to a live duck? I despise advertising and their nefarious practices but found the AFLAC duck to be a breath of fresh air and incredibly cartoonish in nature - and most importantly, harmless.
As a supporter of animal rights, there are limits to where protests and contention must extend. When those limits are breached, such activists and supporters of animal rights merely appear overzealous and idiotic with oversensitive protests that carry little effect or gravity in the scope of greater efforts. I sincerely applaud AFLAC for their commercials, as they are some of the few that amuse me, and clearly no live animal is being harmed. Firing shots at this campaign is an embarrassing gesture of oversensitivity and I, as others that have heard of this, strongly recommend you rescind the complaints and seek the myriad other injustices and abuses that exist in the food industry, etc, rather than a mere portrayal. Any such campaign against a comedic character merely strips away credit and respect from your cause, I hope you see that. I am not against your goals, merely pointing out a mistake in logic.
You are welcome to publish my thoughts, despite their dissention. As stated, I support your general cause strongly, but find this protest a bit of a joke and thought better of you to redirect efforts elsewhere. Is there a protest against Daffy Duck being shot up by Elmer Fudd a future campaign? Common Sense.

TCM Diesel Forklifts
It was during the beginning of the 20th Century when the first lift trucks were launched. These machines over the last 90 plus years has changed the material handling business and even the recycling industry. The factors for safe operation, the forklift's evolution and the many different kinds are discussed below.
History of Lift Trucks
These powered industrial trucks, also known as forklifts and lift trucks, were invented and introduced to the market during the late 19th century. At first, these units were low lift trucks which were only capable of raising platforms several inches high. Normally, these equipment were utilized for moving material in a shop, like work-in-progress situations. In the latter part of 1910s, high lift trucks initially emerged and truck design improvements started to take root from there. The tier trucks eventually developed and this allowed for better storage efficiency and stacking of loads.
There were extremely difficult economic times throughout the 1930s. Then again, during this time, labor was freely available but money for investment was increasingly more difficult to come by. This situation greatly slowed the growth of forklift usage.
Lift trucks became a very strategic part of the the second World War war effort since the vast shortages in manpower during that time happened as a resulting of enlistment of thousands of men. It was discovered that a lift truck and its operator could handle the work of many men and were extremely productive. As the War continued, a lot of women drivers filled the many demands. When the war was over, lift trucks became a mainstay of the material handling industry. They were used a lot in the Pacific war efforts. Some of the leftover pallets and lift trucks within Australia left behind by the United States Military became the basis for the CHEP or Commonwealth Handling Equipment Pool, who today is known as the largest pallet pooling business in the world.
Diesel and gasoline engines have lots of benefits. They are readily available all over the world; they are perfect for heavy duty workloads, they deliver consistent power throughout the shift and numerous operators are quite familiar with the source of power.
Some of the main drawbacks of diesel and gasoline models consist of: they need a lot more maintenance compared to electric versions, because of the emissions they release, they are not suitable for indoor applications, there is some cost and difficulty associated to oil and fluid disposal and they require a re-fueling station on-site if they are going to be used always.

"I am Tess of the d'Urbervilles to your Angel Clare…"
Now that "a certain show" has just started, I can finally admit that I have seen it AND it's Christmas episode. And while you all know that I loved the first season, I didn't particularly like its second.
Of course I would not spoil it for you for the world. Liking/not liking it is simply my opinions and you all know that I am really really picky. All it takes is for one thing to set me off… and I was set off by more than one thing.
I will say this, it does redeem itself "somewhat" during its Christmas episode, but not really to my complete liking. If you too have seen it, I would welcome your opinions of it in the comments if you are so inclined.

Nothing is more frustrating than filling your flower bed with new plants and seeing the crabgrass making its unwanted appearance. In fact, almost every gardener will have to deal with trying to eradicate crabgrass at some point. There are many products on the market you can purchase to kill it, and there are some home remedies you can try. Regardless of which method you choose, don't be surprised if it takes a couple of applications to make the crabgrass go away for good. Continue reading for some tips on ridding your flowers beds of crabgrass.
Things You'll Need
- Weed Killer
- Shovel
- Vinegar
- Spray Bottle
- Dish soap
- Gin
Video of the Day
Purchase a weed killer that specifies it will kill crabgrass at your local home improvement store. There are many brands on the market, but don't let the price fool you. Just because it's expensive, doesn't mean it will work any better than some of the less expensive weed killers. Spray the product directly on the crabgrass, making sure not to get any on your plants. Do not allow the area to get any water for at least 24 hours. You should see the crabgrass beginning to die by the next day. If, in a few days, if the grass is not completely dead, spray the area again.
Put undiluted white vinegar in a spray bottle. For several years the USDA has been conducting experiments using vinegar as a weed killer, with outstanding results. Spray your solution directly on the crabgrass, being careful not to spray any tender plants. Don't water the area for at least 24 hours and you should see results within a day. You may have to repeat this process, if the grass doesn't completely die.
Fill a spray bottle with one part white vinegar, one part gin and one part dish soap. Spray the area where the crabgrass is a problem. This is a home remedy that some gardeners use. You can use this solution on other weeds, too. Don't allow the area to get wet for at least 24 hours. Repeat the spraying if necessary.
Boil a pot of water. Pour the boiling water over the crabgrass twice. According to many gardeners, boiling water is another environmentally safe way to rid your flower beds of weeds and unwanted grasses. If the crabgrass doesn't look like it's completely dead, pour some more boiling water on it.
Dig up the unwanted crabgrass, making sure to get the roots. This process takes more work, but you'll be getting to the root of the problem. Once you've removed the grass and its roots, you may have to spray the area with one of the weed-killing treatments listed above, to remove any stragglers.

From Shelf to Padded Seat; How to Make Yourself Comfortable and Still Have Storage Space
Article excerpt
TURNING an Ikea Kallax shelving unit on its side and adding a comfortable padded seat creates a great little reading bench, which still has storage for books and toys underneath. If you had a corner spot, you could even make two to create L-shaped seating.
Reading bench
Begin by assembling the Kallax shelving unit following the assembly instructions. Turn the assembled unit on its side.
Next, lay your MDF board out on a flat surface. Place the foam on top of the board and the fabric on top of the foam. Position the fabric so it is centred over the foam.
Carefully turn the MDF board/foam/fabric sandwich over. Now, begin to pull the fabric around to the back of the MDF and secure it using a staple gun. Go slowly, checking you are pulling the fabric taut to avoid wrinkles.
At the corners, fold the fabric in neatly, as if wrapping a present, then staple in place.
Once all the fabric is secured, lay the seat pad face down on the floor (ensuring that the floor is clean) and place the Kallax shelving unit on top. …

Going Back to Work
Megan went to a job fair at Mohonk this week. She cannot work full time but needs money to live on as she is not making it and fund raising has come to a halt. That is ok as she needs to get out and get back into the swing of things again.
She interviewd for a valet job up at Mohonk Mountain House, which if you don't already know, is one of the more magical places in the world. My friend Bardet always said there were magical powers up there. (photo is a digital piece I did of the Mountain House and Spa)
I hope she gets the job as it won't be too hard on her physically. She won't have to lift too much too far too often, and if she smiles nicely, and is charming (she is already beautiful) she should be able to make some good tips. I do hope that she will be able to pull this off.
She still needs a total hip replacement, but she is not up to doing that yet. I don't blame her. She has been through enough for now.
Dole is away for three weeks for desert training for his reserve unit. (you do know what that means...) He is going or considering going into the Army full time. I wish I could get him out, but he would never listen to me, and never do it. We need a miracle of some sort to happen.
In the meantime Megan is missing him and I have a feeling I will be seeing a bit of her over the next 3 weeks.
Till the next time, Patti

Instagram now lets you share posts from public profiles to your Stories
Instagram has rolled out a new feature which allows users to share posts to Stories from their accounts. This isn't the 'repost' feature most Instagram users wish for but it will still help with not having to screenshot a post you want to share to stories. This feature is currently available for Android users in India, with an iOS update rolling out soon.
How it works
You can share someone's post to your story by tapping on the paper airplane icon located down below. When you tap on the icon you will see an option which says "Create a story with this post". You can then share the post as a 'sticker' on your story feed. At the same time you will also see the list of friends from your following list with whom you can share the post via 'Direct'.
Instagram says that you can share posts only from accounts which are public. Just below the post the original user's Instagram handle will appear. You also have options to rotate and scale the 'sticker' and tap on it for different styles. You can also add your own text in different styles and fonts as you would normally on your stories.
The post will appear against a coloured background which cannot be changed. While you can share video posts also as your story, note that it will appear as a photo. The video won't play on your story. As with every feature on Instagram this one also comes with the option to turn it off. Simply go to your settings menu on Instagram and scroll down to the option that says "Allow Resharing to Stories".
Instagram has shifted its focus from the feed to 'Stories', its most successful copy of Snapchat. Instagram Stories itself has 300 million daily active users which is more than the entire 166 million userbase of Snapchat. Earlier this month Instagramannounced the integration of sharing songs and photos from Spotify and GoPro. The photo sharing app also rolled out a new emoji slider for stories last week.

SPAD Bowling Night A Success
On the evening of October 2nd, SPAD Council hosted its second event of the year with the annual bowling night. The event was a tremendous success as a bus filled with students, ranging from first to third year, made their way to "Plaza Bowl" for a night of strikes, spares, and gutter balls! Everyone who took part in the event had a lot of fun.
The pre-game festivities began at residence with some refreshments and socializing. Students were picked up directly from campus, and were dropped off at Plaza Bowl where everyone played two games. Some competitors were better than others, but in the end, having fun was all that mattered.
A number of first year students made the most of the opportunity to meet some other students in the program. It also gave a chance to upper year students to meet some of the Frosh they had yet to meet. SPAD Council would like to thank everyone who came out to support the event, and hopes everyone in attendance had a good time. Be sure to follow council on Twitter @LU_SPADCouncil
Stay connected to the SPAD Blog on social media. Follow us at @LU_SPAD or like us on Facebook for all the latest updates.

HomeAway.co.uk, the home of Holiday-Rentals®, is part of the HomeAway family. As the world leader in holiday rentals, we offer the largest selection of properties for any travel occasion and every budget. We're committed to helping families and friends find the perfect holiday rental to create unforgettable travel experiences together.
The property was perfect for what we wanted, i.e. village location - local place to eat and drink within walking distance. It was in a beautiful area - ideal for access to numerous walk ways of varying lengths and also a short drive to the Bavarian Forest National Park (highly recommended). It's a hidden gem as there really were not many people around in the area in August.
Nice place!

Exciting things are happening!
Bitcoin traded over $700 on Monday. The Dow shot over $16,000. And China decided to go even further down the capitalist road.
Don't know about Bitcoin?
'The Department of Justice recognizes that many virtual currency systems offer legitimate financial services and have the potential to promote more efficient global commerce,' a Justice Department official told the Senate.
Bitcoin may 'hold longterm promise,' said Ben Bernanke. 'If properly regulated…' added an unnamed official.
Publicly, the feds are playing it cool towards bitcoin. Privately, they must be sweating. As we told our group of Family Office investors, the new virtual money has the potential to destroy the dollar…the Fed…the banks…and the whole world's monetary system. It could also make gold obsolete. This new money is easier to use and costs nothing to store.
Regulate it? That may not be possible.
Bitcoin is the most disruptive technology yet invented. It could be the biggest financial story since gold. Nothing like it has happened in 6,000 years – an entirely new kind of money…and better! In fact, it could help bring in a whole new phase of economic development…
Watch this space for more details…
Meanwhile, the Dow rose over the 16,000 mark on Monday…but it didn't stay there. Then, yesterday, again the Dow failed to close above 16,000.
While US stocks could go much higher – in the third stage of a bubble – there is much more risk on the downside than there is reward on the upside. Corporate profits are largely a mirage – a reflection of the Fed red hot QE policy on the barren sand of real revenue growth. The economy is still not recovering. And the Fed's low rates keep debt growing… which increases the risk to the whole system…
Out of stocks and into bitcoin? Not so fast…stay tuned…
Chinese officials have said they would like to 'de-Americanise' the world's monetary system. Bitcoin may be their bet.
Last week, the Middle Kingdom's rulers met. They decided to lighten up on the 'one child' policy. We're not sure of the details. But the important thing is that the leadership seems to be turning the whole economy from capital formation to consumption…and from exports to domestic markets…and from the dollar to alternatives.
We do not approve of central planning. It always makes things worse. But how much worse? It depends. If the central planners fight the markets…things will get very bad. But if they go along with what the markets want to do anyway…they will do less damage.
That's what Paul Volcker did in the early '80s. Back then, inflation rates were headed up over 10%. Bond yields, too, were over 15%.
The markets were correcting inflation – with bond yields vaulting ahead of the CPI. The markets were tightening credit in order to squeeze the CPI.
Volcker had a choice. Fight the markets with more cheap credit in order to maintain full employment? Or join the markets with tighter credit of his own?
Volcker declared himself on the side of the markets. He drove up yields even higher – over 18%. Inflation rates quickly corrected down to 5%…and continued to sink for the next 30 years. America enjoyed its longest period of growth in history.
But things were very different after the crisis of 2008-2009. After almost 30 years of falling yields, the markets were ready for a correction. Too much debt had built up in the private sector. A 'day of reckoning' was at hand. First, Bear Stearns. Then Lehman Bros. General Motors. Fannie Mae. Freddie Mac. Like dominoes, big institutions fell into default and bankruptcy.
But the feds stepped in. They fought the debt liquidation. And they succeeded in halting the process of de-leveraging.
Bravo? Good work?
Ben Bernanke got his mug on Time magazine. They called him a hero. Not only did he fight the market, he won…at least for a while. We have more debt now than we had then. And the day of reckoning is still ahead.
Meanwhile, the Chinese are loosening up. They are allowing people to have more children. Already, retailers are bracing for more children…getting in position to sell diapers and strollers when the babies show up, roughly nine months from now.
This will add demand for bigger houses, too. And bigger cars. And more debt! In fact, commentators are talking about a new baby boom…which could, like America's baby boom of the '46-'62 period, transform the whole economy from an export powerhouse into a consumer colossus.
Yes, the 'Third Plenum' of the communist party leadership seems to want to rock the cradle and rule the world. Dong Tao, at Credit Suisse, was quoted in the Financial Times saying that he thought it was 'the most comprehensive and ambitious reform plan in the history of the Peoples' Republic.'
Chinese stocks trade at 15 times earnings. Not super cheap. But if the growth rate of 7% per year continues, they could look like great bargains a few years from now.
Chinese stocks? Bitcoin? US stocks? What to do with your money now?
Stay tuned.

PolyStor Corporate Profile
Published: 05-Feb-2001
LIVERMORE, Calif., Feb. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- PolyStor Corporation is a world-class producer of Advanced Energy Storage Products. PolyStor designs, develops and manufactures rechargeable Lithium-ion and Lithium-ion Polymer batteries for intelligent, mobile devices and portable electronic products. In its seven-year history, PolyStor has distinguished itself as the first lithium-ion battery producer in the United States and the first to use a revolutionary Nickel Cobalt Oxide cathode that delivers the highest capacity and energy density in the industry. Recently PolyStor obtained an exclusive license to manufacturing intellectual property for lithium-ion battery technology from Motorola Energy Systems Group. As a result, PolyStor now produces the world's first, commercially available, curved, lithium-ion polymer battery.
The founders of PolyStor began using their expertise in Lithium-ion to develop technology for the "Star Wars" defense program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in the 1980's. PolyStor Corporation was formed to bring this technology to market. Early products at PolyStor included Aerogel Capacitors and Lithium-ion cylindrical cells. In 1997 PolyStor ordered Sony FA, high volume, automated production lines. In 1998 the U.S. Army CECOM group signed a contract with PolyStor to develop the BB-2590. In the same year PolyStor received a contract from the U.S. Department of Energy's Partnership for a New Generation Vehicle (PNGV) program to develop battery modules for hybrid electric vehicles. In 1999 PolyStor moved into its new 68,000 square foot manufacturing and R&D facility in Livermore, California and began mass production of an 8 millimeter thick, lithium-ion prismatic cell. In 2000 the company established sales offices in Europe and Asia and began shipments to a global customer base. By the end of 2000 PolyStor's family of products included lithium-ion prismatic cells with capacities ranging from 1000 milli-Amp hours (mAh) to 1350 mAh and lithium-ion polymer cells with capacities ranging from 160 mAh to 1200 mAh. Multiple product introductions will occur in 2001.
PolyStor's mission is to offer its customers a "Total Design Solution" for their portable power requirements. This is accomplished with a versatile Applications Engineering Team that works hand-in-hand with Original Equipment Manufacturers to provide technical support from concept, to design, through implementation. PolyStor production lines are operated in strict adherence to the "Six Sigma" Quality methodology and PolyStor products are designed to meet UL Safety Requirements. Regional service and customized battery pack assembly are provided through PolyStor's Value Added Partner program, a world-wide network of authorized, independent, distribution companies that receive factory support and training from PolyStor technicians.
PolyStor's lithium-ion and lithium-ion polymer batteries are used in many intelligent mobile devices and portable electronic products such as cellular phones, handheld data entry devices, wireless headsets, laptops, notebooks, pagers, PDA's, MP3 Players, audio/visual equipment, portable instrumentation, location monitoring devices, GPS tracking systems, medical technology and wrist mounted consumer electronics. As the world of wireless products expands, PolyStor will be there to supply the energy and the power.

Here's what's going on with our programming! Give it a read to learn how you can maximize your results:
You trust us to maximize your results from the effort you put into the gym. The reality is that, because most every member is on their own individual class schedule, in trying to provide the community with a program that works best with unknown rest days, the workout program, although extremely effective, is not optimal. We are taking an innovative step to optimize the program.
All of you not only have different schedules and lives, but you also have slightly different goals or interests when it comes to your fitness. A CrossFit program provides an all-around fitness that has incredible real world applications. Most members' goals are geared toward this all-around fitness, but some members' goals are geared more towards endurance events like running races, obstacle course races, and triathlons while some members' goals are geared more towards overall strength. Some just like to lift heavy or run far and some don't. We have found a way, in addition to offering you the same effective CrossFit program you have come to love, to also offer biased programs that will allow you to focus more specifically on short-term or long-term goals you may have.
For each of these additional programs, please note that they are all based around the fundamentals and mythologies of CrossFit; they are simply biased towards a specialty. There is not a pure running program or a pure weightlifting program as those would not be following CrossFit fundamentals. They will all still look and feel very similar to the CrossFit program and will actually share many of the same exact classes.
CrossFit – This is for the majority of our community wanting to explore their overall fitness potential. This is what we've been doing all along with incredible results.
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays
CrossFit Endurance-bias – This will look very similar to the regular CrossFit program and the CrossFit Strength-bias program, but will tend to have longer WODs, less strength work, and include more cardio exercises.
Sundays or Mondays (Open Gym), Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays
CrossFit Strength-bias – This will look very similar to the regular CrossFit program and the CrossFit Endurance-bias program, but will tend to include more strength work and Olympic lifting.
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays
Within each of the programs we will still be offering our Fitness and Competitor options. One option is not easier or better than the other, they are simply designed for different goals and preferences.
Fitness - This workout option is for those looking to look better naked, lose body fat, maintain lean muscle-mass, and improve their quality of life. Eager to learn and take on new and challenging movements and workouts, but is not looking to compete in local or online CrossFit competitions. The Fitness track will focus on delivering simpler workouts to allow you to focus on going hard and getting results.
Competitor - This track is geared towards members interested in mastering the more complex and advanced movements utilized in CrossFit or with the goal of improving one's scores on the competitive stage. This track will be focused on training with all of the movements and weights that are seen in competition. People following this track work hard on perfecting technique as that is the key for success within fitness sports. This Competitor track will focus on delivering adaptations that translate to the real work, but also take the extra steps to develop the subtleties needed to improve efficiency in advanced exercises.
How to Follow a Program
Each program is based off of our core CrossFit program and biased in a direction, so they share many of the same classes. Each day at the gym, the workout done in each class time will be the same throughout the day. There will be class days that all three programs share the same workout and there will be class days that specific programs should use as a rest day. For example, if you are following any of the CrossFit, CrossFit Endurance-bias, or CrossFit Strength-bias programs, you will all go to the Tuesday Class. On Wednesday, if you are following the CrossFit Strength-bias program, you would take a rest day whereas if you were following either the CrossFit or CrossFit Endurance-bias program you would attend class.
If you are someone whose schedule changes frequently and cannot commit to certain days of the week, then you can simply continue coming to the gym whenever you can make it and doing whatever workout is going on. This will effectively be like jumping into a gym's typical CrossFit program as the different biases of class types you join will even themselves out. This way, you will be doing the same thing you were doing before the program change. If you are not following a specific program, the only thing to look out for is none of the programs are designed to attend Wednesday and Thursday classes in the same week as they may be similar in muscle groups used.
Also, please remember that we have a wide range of Open Gym times available to use if you are following a program and looking to make-up any class you missed.
The CrossFit City Limits Test Week is a week-long series of classes that will test all aspects of your fitness. This same week will be used as a benchmark and will be repeated around 4 times a year, allowing you to easily track your progress.
You should look at the classes and individual components not as individual tests, but as one big test. Although you may, you should not expect to set a new personal record (PR) on everything you do. The accumulation of work-out done throughout the week will have a big impact on your performance on the workouts later in the week. For example, we may or may not PR our mile time trial on Wednesday, but when we repeat the test week, even if it is still not a PR, if we improve our mile time trial within the test week then we know we are making progress.
It is highly recommended you take notes on your workout times, weights, and how you scale, so you can replicate the same workouts over time and use that data to verify improvements and gains.
It is intended that you come to 5 out of the 6 classes during the test week, choosing the classes that best fit your goals:
General Fitness (CrossFit) – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
Endurance Bias – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday
Strength Bias – Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
Come talk with Kyle and April and understand, discuss, and create a plan of action for your goals! We will talk about what you're trying to do and how you can get there.
From Games.CrossFit.com:
"Where grassroots meets greatness: Compete with hundreds of thousands of athletes in five workouts over five weeks. Do it for fun, your affiliate family, fitness, or to reach regionals and fight for a chance to make it to the 2017 Reebok CrossFit Games.
The Games season is broken up into three stages. The first stage is the Open. This five-week, five-workout competition is held in the winter in CrossFit affiliates and garage gyms around the world. Workouts are released online each Thursday, and athletes have until the following Monday to submit their scores. Anyone who's at least 14 years old can sign up, and join in the first stage of the CrossFit Games season.
The top athletes from each of the 17 regions qualify for the second stage of the competition—regionals. The regionals are live, three-day competitions that are held in May. The top athletes from two or three regions combine, and compete for the five qualifying spots for the CrossFit Games .
The season culminates in the 2017 Reebok CrossFit Games. At this point in the season, the field has been whittled down from hundreds of thousands of athletes in the Open to the world's fittest 40 men, 40 women, 40 teams, 80 teenagers, and 240 masters. The CrossFit Games rank the world's fittest, and determine who is the Fittest on Earth.
A key element to a fair test of fitness is the unknown and unknowable. Athletes cannot train for what they do not know. At each CrossFit Games, the athletes engage in a series of challenges unknown to them until right before the competition. The combination of highly trained athletes and unknown events makes for an explosive mix."
The online Open competition spans five weeks. Workouts are announced Thursdays at 7:00 PM CST as CrossFit broadcasts the weekly Open workout announcement live on Facebook or YouTube. After the weekly workout is announced, some of the world's best CrossFitters compete against each other in the workout during the broadcast. Open participants then have until Monday night to perform and video their workout with a judge and submit their scores online.
The first of five Open workouts is announced Thursday night, February 22, 2018. Each additional workout will be announced the subsequent Thursday nights.
At CrossFit City Limits, our programming is designed to be CrossFit with a strength bias. As such, our typical workouts seen in classes will be very similar to the Open workouts that are announced. You have likely done previous Open workouts in classes without even knowing it. You can find archived workouts at Games.CrossFit.com.
There are a number of ways to participate in the Open and choosing the right one is crucial to making the Open experience enjoyable. 99% of us do not have ambitions to compete in high-level CrossFit competitions, so I'll start by speaking to the majority of us. So, for 99% of us, we will not be registering for the official online open and we will simply be participating in the Open by completing the workouts each week in regular classes. We will do this without submitting our scores online and therefore do not need a judge or to video our workouts. We can still use the world-wide, online leaderboard if we want to see how we did relative to the world-wide community on particular work-outs, just our name will not be part of the leaderboard. The Open workouts are a great time, even for us non-competitors, to put ourselves in competition mode. There will be a lot of excitement and talk about the Open workouts at the gym and on social media and can provide a fun experience of planning optimal strategy for a workout, putting 100% effort into a workout, and dealing with the nerves that come along with treating a workout like it means more than a regular day in class. Done correctly, this is a great time to test your fitness, do something that gets you a little out of your comfort zone, and get some baselines on workouts we will likely do again in the future. Additionally, if you are not interested in this at all, it won't matter because you can also treat the workouts like just another day in class.
At CrossFit City Limits, we will be performing the Open Workouts the following Monday in classes after they are announced.
Our programming at CFCL is designed to peak for the Open. As such, we are starting our last macrocycle in preparation for the Open, so it will be a great time to set some new PRs and really challenge ourselves.
If you want to register and are interested in seeing your name on the worldwide on-line Open leader board, you can complete the workouts anytime during open gym and there are a few things for which you need to plan:
1. You will be held to CrossFit standards for all movements and you will be required to take the judges course to become familiar with movement standards and the ability to judge for other online competitors.
2. You will need to plan ahead of time to have a judge to judge every rep on each of your workouts. You must organize and find your own judge from CFCL (someone who has also taken the judges course) Score sheets will be made available for print from games.crossfit.com on Friday mornings and scorecards and videos will be submitted to Kyle by Monday at noon.
3. Your workout scores must be submitted online by the due date.
4. If you are attempting to qualify for regionals, then you will need to record every workout and your video must be submitted by the due date.
Standards and video Submissions must be up to the CrossFit movement standards. Ever year there is controversy about movements and videos submitted. The controversial videos not only tarnish the name of the athlete, but also the gym who verified the video. It is extremely important that CrossFit City Limits' reputation is maintained, so it is possible for your video to be denied if it does not follow the video standards exactly.
CFCL coaches make for tremendous judges and can be available to judge your work-outs. If you would like a CFCL coach to judge your work-out, please email the gym, so we can get you in contact with a coach to schedule a time. The judging fee will be $15 plus $1 per work-out minute. The fee for a 7-minute AMRAP would be $15 + $7 = $22.
There are gender divisions and different age groups. Within each of these are RX and Scaled. If you are submitting your scores officially online, you must choose a division and stick with it. If you are part of the 99% who are just participating for fun and not submitting scores online, you can choose which work-out variation you'd like on a work-out by work-out case.

We have seen it every single year and assume this year will be no different. The open workout will be announced and will include a high skill movement like muscle-ups, handstand push-ups, chest-to-bar pull-ups, double-unders, heavy Olympic lifting, or overhead squats. People start freaking out as they hear the announcements and realize they need to improve on the movement and at this point it is too late. You may be able to improve your skills a little bit, but you have missed the opportunity of prepping months before hand.
If you are going to register for the Open RX division or want to do the Open workouts RX'ed, then now is the time to practice those skills. Before or after class, replacing a class, or doing personal trainings with a coach are necessary to develop the high skill required for RX'ed workouts. If you would like to schedule a personal training session, please email the gym. Sessions are $75 an hour and can be purchased at a discount in packages. Technique is crucial for developing skills, so having an expert coach's eye assist you can have a dramatic impact on your Open season.
We plan to host a Workout, Mobility, and Skills Prep session Friday nights after the Open workouts are announced. We will discuss the workout standards, strategies, work on any skills required for the movements, and have a mobility session to prep our bodies for the workout. These Open Prep sessions will be $15 each and only $60 if you buy the package of 5.
The workouts you complete in class are far from random. There is very specific periodization and methods used to develop our overall fitness. The coaches at CrossFit City Limits have a ton of experience with proven results creating workout programs that fit the goals and needs of our members. Below is some insight into what the next three months of workouts will look like.
The week of November 20th starts our CrossFit Open (See: What is the CrossFit Open?) macrocycle allowing us to build and peak for the CrossFit Open workouts in late February. This macrocycle is built with 2 preparation mesocycles and 1 pre-competition mesocycle allowing maximal results with our time in the gym. As we continue to work on skills, we will also build bodies, create efficiency using our bodies, and peak for a specific date.
Preparation Mesocycle 1/2: Build. This is a month of higher volume workouts meant to bias building bigger muscle fibers and muscle endurance. Look for bigger sets and more reps.
Preparation Mesocycle 2/2: Learn to Use. This is a month of slightly less volume workouts meant to build on the previous preparation mesocycle and develop strength with our bigger muscle fibers. Look for sets with heavier weights that build linearly from the previous week.
Pre-competition Mesocycle 1/1: Peak. This is a lower volume, higher intensity month designed for us to take advantage of recovery and supercompensation to be at our best for the Open workouts. We will start to move towards maximal strength and then back off with speed work to allow our bodies to be ready for a slew of personal records late February and early March. Look for 1 RM's early and more Olympic-style weightlifting for speed and power leading up to the start of the Open.
In addition to the focus on peaking our overall fitness and strength gains, skills mini-cycles will be implemented to ensure adequate practice and development of the more complex movements that have been historically required in the RX division of the Open workouts. These skills include: Handstand Push-ups, Handstand Walking, Chest-to-bar Pull-ups, Toes-to-bars, Muscle-ups, Double Unders, Squat Snatches, Squat Cleans, and Split Jerks. Look for skill sessions that build off each other for 3-4 weeks at a time.

Join us in our fifth annual Memorial Day "Murph" on Monday, May 29th. The workout will begin at 9am and scaling options will be provided. Please read the story behind "Murph" and come in humbled and ready to work!
Every year on Memorial Day weekend, CrossFitters in affiliates across the world perform the Hero workout, 'Murph'. It is a workout that has become synonymous with CrossFit, not just for its brutal toughness, but for what it represents. 'Murph' is not simply another workout we do in a class to increase our fitness before moving on to whatever else we have going on in the day. It is a workout designed to honor and remember the men and women of the armed forces that have lost their lives in defense of our freedom. And as is the case with every Hero workout, it has a story of courage and sacrifice behind it.
'Murph' is named after Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, who was killed in action in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. He was 29-years-old. After graduating from Penn State University in 1998, Murphy rejected offers to attend law school and instead accepted a commission in the United States Navy and became a SEAL in July 2002. For a man whose nickname was 'The Protector', the decision made perfect sense. In fact, when Murphy was in the 8th grade, he was suspended from school for fighting with bullies that were trying to shove a special needs child into a locker. And Gary Williams, author of "Seal of Honor," a biography of Murphy, recounts a story where Murphy protected a homeless man who was collecting cans from a gang of thugs.
In early 2005 Murphy was assigned to SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team ONE as officer in charge of Alpha Platoon and deployed to Afghanistan. In June of that year, Murphy was leading a four-man reconnaissance team in Kunar province as part of a counter-insurgent mission (the other men in Murphy's team were Danny Dietz, Matthew Axelson and Marcus Luttrell). During the mission the team encountered a group of local goat herders.
A discussion was held among the four SEALs regarding the rules of engagement and what they should do with the herders, who were being held at gunpoint. Eventually the men decided to release them, but not soon after the SEALs were surrounded and ambushed by an overwhelming Taliban force. Murphy, who was trying to reach HQ via satellite phone, willingly exposed himself to enemy fire by stepping into a clearing where he might get a signal to make the call. Murphy was shot in the back, but still managed to calmly complete the call for reinforcements and return to his position to continue the fight with his men. HQ sent an MH-47 Chinook helicopter to rescue the team, but while attempting to set down in rugged terrain, the helicopter was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, killing all 16 men on board.
Murphy, Dietz, and Axelson were all killed in action. Luttrell was the only survivor and was eventually rescued after several days of wandering the mountain and being protected by the people of an Afghan village.
Murphy was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his courage and sacrifice that day. Every Memorial Day weekend, we remember Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy.
Saturday, May 13th @9am, Battle of the Bell VII is going down, and this time the venue is Voodoo CrossFit. Battle of the Bell is a competition between us, CrossFit Texas and Voodoo CrossFit, where each gym puts together teams to battle it out and establish who reigns supreme. The Alpha squads complete the workouts as prescribed while the Bravo squads perform a slightly modified version (usually lighter weight). Each gym will have both Alpha and Bravo teams, with each team consisting of 3 guys and 3 girls. The competition itself involves a total of 3 events, which are a combination of individual, partner and team workouts.

The seventh installment of the Battle of the Bell series will be hosted at CrossFit Texas on Saturday, November 12th, starting at 9am. This is a competition series between us, CrossFit Texas and Voodoo CrossFit, where each gym puts together Rx (Alpha) and Scaled (Bravo) teams and battles it out for bragging rights. We have worked hard to streamline the competition (3 events down from 4), changing the format to smaller teams (3 guys and 3 girls) and increasing the number of volunteers. Should make for a shorter and smoother event. I realize this is short notice, but please let me know if you have interested ASAP! Workouts are listed below.
Each lifter will have 30 seconds to complete the lift and 10 seconds to rotate.
Bravo Women: 65/85/105/115/125/135/145/155
Bravo Men: 135/155/175/195/215/235/255/275
Alpha Women: 85/105/125/135/145/155/175/195
Alpha Men: 155/175/195/215/235/255/275/295
After a fail at a weight the lifter can immediately go into Deadlifts for .01 points per rep.
If they make a weight, they may go into Deadlifts if they choose, for .01 points per Deadlift. However, athlete cannot advance to next weight if they did Deadlifts.
All Bravo Women will go through first, Alpha Women will follow after the last Bravo woman has completed the 85lb Barbell. There will be a quick floor change to the Mens weights and Men will follow in the same manner.

Once the 50 Squats (Alpha) / 40 Squats (Bravo) are complete, the log is moved to the next section and the group runs back and switches with the rowing group.
Section 1: Men on Log and Women on Row
Section 2: Women on Log and Men on Row
Section 3: Men on Log and Women on Row
Section 4: Women on Log and Men on Row
Event is done when women finish last 50 Squats (Alpha) / 40 Squats (Bravo) and sprint back to the mat where the men are rowing. All six athletes must be standing in the box for time to stop, this includes the last person on the rower.
