In Cron v. Hargro Fabrics (91 NY2d 362, 368 [1998]), the Court of Appeals held that the plaintiff's full "performance of her obligations under the contract within a year is insufficient to take the oral contract out of the statute . . . and we decline plaintiff's invitation to hold her unilateral performance sufficient to do so." For this proposition the Court cited, among other cases, Broadwell v. Getman (2 Denio 87 [1846]). Denio Reports continue to appear from time to time, well worn but still useful after a century and a half.
Denio published five volumes of case reports, mostly from the Supreme Court of Judicature, which preceded the creation of the New York Court of Appeals. In 1853, he became a Judge of the Court and served for 13 years, twice as Chief Judge. According to the 1911 Legal and Judicial History of New York, "Judge Denio was an almost ideal judge, and scarcely anyone who ever sat in our court of last resort served the state better than he. His opinions rank with the foremost that were ever written in any court in the entire country."1 Indeed, few people have achieved so constant a presence in our court system.
Hiram Denio (pronounced Da-NIGH-o) was born in Rome, New York, on May 21, 1799, the third son of Israel Denio, a Revolutionary War veteran. His grandfather, Aaron Denio, was from Deerfield, Massachusetts and fought in the French and Indian War. The family is a mixture of English and French Canadian ancestry.
An Early Star
Judge Denio received his schooling at the Fairfield Academy in Fairfield, New York, located in Herkimer County, and began studying for the practice of law at age 17 with Judge Joshua Hathaway in Rome. He also received legal training in Whitesboro from Henry R. Storrs, whom Senator Henry Clay pronounced "the most eloquent man he ever listened to."2 Upon admission to the bar in 1821, Judge Denio established a private practice in Rome, a thriving community situated on the soon to be finished Erie Canal. While in Rome, he was appointed Oneida County District Attorney, and served in that capacity from 1825 to 1833.
As District Attorney, Judge Denio moved his office from the northern county seat, Rome, to the southern county seat, Utica. Judge Ward Hunt later observed that:
"in every criminal case, he was thoroughly prepared, both on the law and the facts. His indictments were accurately drawn, and always stood the test of criticism. He tried his cases with zeal and vigor. Indeed it was sometimes said that he sought convictions with too much earnestness. But he never asked a conviction unless satisfied of a prisoner's guilt. Being so satisfied, he seldom failed to impress his conviction upon the jury. Culprits complained, but the public were content."3
In 1829, he married Mary Ann H. Pitkin of Farmington, Connecticut, with whom he had three children-Mary, Elizabeth and a son who died in infancy. During his tenure as District Attorney, Judge Denio was also engaged in private practice in Utica with E. A. Wetmore.
In 1834, he was appointed Circuit Judge in the Fifth Judicial Circuit and Vice Chancellor.4 According to Judge Hunt, "he was the model of a circuit judge. While no proper argument was shortened, no time was lost in tedious harangues."5 His time as a Circuit Judge was short-lived, however. Four years into his term, illness forced him to resign from the Circuit Court, and he again returned to private practice. He formed the law firm of Denio and Hunt with Ward Hunt, later himself a Judge of the Court of Appeals and a Justice of Supreme Court of the United States. According to an account in the Utica Morning Herald, for some time the firm of Denio and Hunt "served in the fore-front" of the legal profession in the Mohawk Valley.6 Judge Denio served as Bank Commissioner from 1838 to 1840, and then became a clerk of the State Supreme Court in Utica, continuing his private practice.
Denio's Reports
Between 1845 and 1848, Judge Denio served as Supreme Court Reporter, publishing five volumes of Denio's Reports. That was a time of major transition in New York court structure and the merger of the courts of law and equity. He reported on the decisions of the old Supreme Court of Judicature, also referred to as simply the Supreme Court, as well as those of the highest court in New York, The Court for the Trial of Impeachments and Correction of Errors.7 The latter court heard appeals from the Chancellor as well as from the Supreme Court, which, although possessing original jurisdiction, served mainly as an appellate tribunal during this period of New York history. Volume 3 of Denio's Reports also contains reports of some of the first cases argued in the New York Court of Appeals during its November 1847 and January 1848 terms.
Judge Denio appears to have had mixed feelings about the law reforms effectuated by the New York Constitution of 1846. In the final volume of his reports, he prepared a dedication to the "Surviving Justices of the Late Supreme Court of Judicature." He noted that the original Supreme Court, or at least it was then existing, had been abolished, and remarked:
"that court, which, during the whole period of our political existence, has been the highest legal tribunal of original jurisdiction has been abolished by the fundamental law. A new system, required, perhaps, by the increase in population has been substituted for that which has worked so well. . . . [W]hen it has been seen that many of the most able among the members of the legal profession have been, in the first instance, chosen to seats in the new court, . . . no serious apprehension need be entertained that our rights will suffer for want of adequate legal representation."8
However, Judge Denio was apparently not so enamored of the merger of law and equity, which brought in a new system of legal procedure:
"Under the specious name of reform, and in professed obedience to a constitutional provision looking only to the modes of practice, all the decisions under which legal rights and remedies had been arranged, and the whole nomenclature of legal science, as learned and practiced in this court has been abolished. The ancient simplicity of the common law has been made to give place to a system in which every case is made a special one."9
While in private practice, Judge Denio collaborated with William Tracy and in 1852 edited a two-volume edition of the Revised Statutes of New York. He also argued 14 cases in the newly-created Court of Appeals-five for the appellant and nine for the respondent, amassing a record of eight wins and six losses. His biggest win by far came in Newell v. People ex rel. Phelps (7 NY 9 [1852]), where the Court of Appeals struck down as unconstitutional an 1851 statute that authorized the use of canal proceeds for the completion of the Erie Canal enlargement.
His Years on the Court
In June 1853, then Governor Horatio Seymour, also a Utica native, appointed Judge Denio to a vacancy on the Court of Appeals created by the resignation of the Court's first Chief Judge, Freeborn G. Jewett. Judge Denio was elected for the remainder of Judge Jewett's term in November 1853 and reelected for a full eight-year term in November 1857. He served as the Chief Judge in 1856 and 1857 and again from July 1, 1862 through December 31, 1865, when his term of office expired.10
Judge Denio earned a reputation as a fair and balanced Judge. As noted by Judge Ellis Roberts, Judge Denio possessed
"a cast of mind eminently judicial, with studious habits that never wearied, with conversance with the principles as well as the letter of the law seldom surpassed, and with integrity never questioned[;] he deserves to rank with the magnates of the bar, of [Oneida] County and the state and as a member of the Court of Appeals his decisions are accepted as standards and models. He was not a man to startle observers by brilliance and eccentricity. His prudence, his common sense, his thorough conscientiousness were his marked characteristics. . . . As he was without dogmatism, he could admit and correct errors. In every sense he was a good judge, and in some respects his associates have pronounced him among the best and foremost that ever sat upon the bench of our highest tribunal."11
Although Judge Denio was a Democrat, he was not a dogmatic one, as illustrated by vote for President Abraham Lincoln during 1860 and his support of the Union's efforts during the Civil War. Upon Judge Denio's death, Judge William J. Bacon remarked, "I can never forget the ringing words he addressed to the first public meeting held in this city [Utica] after the fall of Fort Sumter. He sounded the clarion note which called us all to the platform of duty."12 Judge Denio's lack of partisanship is also evidenced by two of his most significant opinions: Lemmon v. The People (20 NY 562 [1860]) and People ex rel. Wood v. Draper (15 NY 532 [1857]).
Lemmon v. The People (20 NY 562) involved a case very similar in its facts to Dred Scott v. Sanford (60 US 393 [1856]), but the Court of Appeals did not follow the much-criticized result in Dred Scott. Judge Denio was the only Democrat to vote with the majority in this case.13
Juliet Lemmon, a citizen of Virginia, was in transit from that state to the State of Texas, bringing her household and property, including eight slaves. They traveled to New York, there to board a steamer for Texas. On November 6, 1852, Lemmon and her slaves spent the night in a house in New York City. While there, Louis Napoleon, "a vigilant colored man of New York,"14 obtained a writ of habeas corpus and served it upon Mrs. Lemmon. The writ alleged that all of Mrs. Lemmon's slaves were free by virtue of Chapter 137 of the Laws of 1817 as amended in 1841. The original 1817 statute outlawed slavery in New York and provided, with certain exceptions, that any slave brought into the state would be free. The 1841 amendment repealed all the exceptions, including a provision that persons in transit through the state could keep their slaves, provided that they did not remain in New York more than nine months. Thus, because the statute's plain language required the manumission of Lemmon's slaves, the only question on appeal from the sustained grant of the writ of habeas corpus was the statute's validity under the federal Constitution.
Lemmon v. The People took almost six and a half years to reach the Court of Appeals, during a time of increasing unrest in this country over the question of slavery. Virginia actually took over the appeal for Mrs. Lemmon. The case was argued by two titans of the New York Bar, Charles O'Conor for the appellant Lemmon and William M. Evarts for the respondent Negroes seeking freedom.15 Joseph Blunt, the State's Attorney General, appeared for the People to defend the constitutionality of the statute.
In a 5-3 decision, the Court affirmed the grant of the writ of habeas corpus and held the former slaves were properly freed. Judge Denio authored the Court's majority opinion. He placed the Court's decision on the power reserved to the states by the United States Constitution. This included, the Court observed, the power of the states to determine the legal status of persons within their borders. It flatly disagreed with a central premise of Dred Scott-although the majority did not cite that decision-by holding that New York law and not Virginia law governed on the question of whether the Negroes were free citizens or mere property. Judge Denio noted that Article IV, ' 2 of the federal Constitution, dealing with fugitive slaves, did not apply because the slaves were not fugitives but had been voluntarily brought into the state by Mrs. Lemmon. The Court rejected the argument that the New York law which gave the slaves their freedom violated the federal Constitution's Privileges and Immunities Clause. According to Judge Denio,
"[w]here the laws of the several states differ, a citizen of one State asserting rights in another must claim them according to the laws of the last mentioned state, not according to the laws which obtain in his own."16
The Court also rejected the argument that the New York statute violated the Commerce Clause, reasoning that even if that clause might have some bearing on slaves involuntarily brought into the state by "consequence of a marine accident or by stress of weather," the clause did not apply to this case because Mrs. Lemmon voluntarily brought her slaves into New York.17 Judge Denio concluded:
"Upon the whole case, I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing in the National Constitution or the laws of Congress to preclude State judicial authorities from declaring these slaves thus introduced into the territory of this State, free and setting them at liberty."18
Judge Denio's opinion in Lemmon is a competent, dispassionate and logically constructed writing. In one sense, it is representative of its time because of the highly formalistic style, but in another more fundamental sense it is thoroughly modern because it eschewed the Attorney General's proffer to have the case decided on Natural Law grounds. The opinion is also a model of judicial self-restraint, deciding the questions squarely before the Court and nothing more. One can only wonder whether a terrible and bloody Civil War could have been avoided if Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger B. Taney took a similar approach in Dred Scott.
A second major opinion for Judge Denio-one for which he took considerable criticism from his Democratic Party, according to the Utica Morning Herald and Judge Amasa B. Parker-also shows his independent and nonpartisan approach to judicial decisionmaking. In People ex rel. Wood v. Draper (15 NY 532 [1857]) the Court upheld the constitutionality of the state law which created a Metropolitan Police District, unifying in some respects the police forces in the counties of New York, Kings, Richmond and Westchester. The law was challenged on the ground that the Legislature and Governor exceeded their power under the State Constitution of 1846, which reserved to the electors or local authorities the right to elect or appoint county, city, town and village officers. The Court held that the State Legislature may constitutionally establish new civil divisions of the state, embracing the whole or parts of different counties, cities, villages or towns, provided the divisions recognized by the Constitution are not abolished nor their capacity rendered "less suitable for the purpose for which they are recognized and employed by the constitution."19 The Court concluded that the law at issue did not abolish the counties and localities mentioned in the Constitution.
Judge Denio also left his mark on other aspects of constitutional law. In People ex rel. Hackley v. Kelly (24 NY 74 [1861]), a case interpreting the State Constitution's self-incrimination clause, Judge Denio observed:
"constitutional provisions are not leveled at the evils most current at the times in which they are adopted, but, while embracing these, they look to the history of the abuses of political society in times past, and in other countries, and endeavor to form a system which shall protect the members of the State against those acts of oppression and misgovernment which unrestrained political or judicial power are, always and everywhere most apt to fall into."20
In Still v. Village of Corning (15 NY 297 [1857]), Judge Denio wrote for the Court that the Legislature had the power to create new inferior judicial tribunals.
After the Court
Judge Denio was a strong proponent of reforming the structure of the Court of Appeals as it existed under the 1846 Constitution. Under that Constitution, four of the eight Court of Appeals Judges were elected by statewide vote. The other four judges were appointed from "the class of the Justices of the Supreme Court having the shortest time to serve."21 The constant shifting of the judicial personnel made the Court unwieldy and it was difficult to preserve a uniform and consistent course of decisions. In 1857, then Chief Judge Denio wrote to the Assembly Judiciary Committee asking for a change in the selection process for Judges on the Court, noting the importance of collegiality on a multi-member appellate court.22 This reform was ultimately accomplished by the Constitutional Convention of 1867-1868.
Upon his departure from the Court in December 1865, Judge Denio continued to serve as a trustee for Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. He also received an LL. D. degree from Madison College, later Colgate University. He also continued to devote "a large portion of his valuable time, without any remuneration whatsoever, to the protection of the earnings of the poor, deposited in the Savings Bank of Utica."23 A great believer in lifelong learning, at the age of 60 Judge Denio "learned the French language, to enable him to peruse such French works as he desired to read, and he read them with facility."24
Judge Denio suffered a paralytic stroke on October 17, 1868. He partially recovered from the effects of the stroke but he was never again fully himself. The Judge died at his residence in Utica on November 5, 1871, at the age of 72, and is buried at Forest Hill Cemetery in Utica. Upon his death the Utica Morning Herald observed that his life proved "that eminence involves no sacrifice of worth, [and] that purity of personal character is consonant with personal, professional and political success."25
On the day following his death, the members of the Oneida County Bar met at the courthouse in Utica to pay tribute to a man they loved and respected. There, Judge Denio was heralded by the titans of the Bench and Bar including Judges A.S. Johnson, Francis Kernan, Ward Hunt, William J. Bacon, C.H. Doolittle, Robert Mason and attorney John F. Seymour. Judge Hunt observed:
"His career affords an example to all young men. With no aid of friends or family, with no advantage of money, without the benefit of a liberal education, his career was an entire success. He was laborious in duties, and attentive, spending his days not only, but his evenings in his studies."
"He held many offices of public trust, and many positions of private confidence. He was always equal to the occasion."26
Two weeks later, on November 21, 1871, the Court of Appeals convened in the State Capitol in Albany to pay tribute to Judge Denio.27 Judge Amasa J. Parker, a longtime Supreme Court Justice who had sat on the Court of Appeals with him for one year pursuant to the provisions of the 1846 Constitution, gave the principal tribute. Judge Parker observed:
"His mind was peculiarly adapted to the discharge of the judicial office. It was clear, comprehensive and discriminating, and singularly free from prejudice or bias. He had trained it to close attention, and to the mastery of details. In seeking out and selecting for consideration the true questions involved, he looked at the whole case with conscientious and characteristic fidelity. Though tenacious of his opinions, when deliberately informed, he never failed to treat, with respect, the opinions of those who differed from him. He felt deeply the great responsibility of making a decision from which there could be no appeal."
Judge Parker went on to praise Judge Denio for his personal qualities, which he found "worthy of imitation." All who knew Judge Denio loved him "for the child-like simplicity of his nature, the unselfish spirit which actuated him, the courtesy of his manner, and the truthfulness and sincerity which governed every action of his life." Judge Parker observed:
"I speak, I am sure, of the opinion of the bar, when I say that no judge ever sat on the bench in this State or elsewhere in whose learning, ability, and purity the public or the profession felt more confidence. History, which rarely fails to do justice to those who have passed away, will inscribe his name on the same page with Kent and Spencer and Bronson. Like them, he will be justly spoken of by those that follow him, as a great lawyer and a great judge."
Chief Judge Church added:
"For eminent ability, profound learning and incorruptible integrity, Judge Denio is justly entitled to a position in the very front rank of distinguished jurists which this State and country have produced."
Research has not revealed any direct descendants of Judge Denio still living. Only his daughter Elizabeth H. Denio married. She married Dr. Louis Tourtellot of Utica, who was the first assistant physician at the Lunatic Asylum in the area. They had three children: Louis D. Tourtellot (born 1863), Francis Tourtellot (born 1865) and Annie P. Tourtellot (born 1869). The direct genealogy trail ends here, but for more on the Denio family-descendants of Hiram Denio's great-grandfather and grandfather, both named Aaron Denio-please check the History of the Denio Family web page at http://denio.tripod.com/aaron.htm.

Amid Meningitis Outbreak, FDA Demands More Authority
The head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asked Congress Wednesday for more authority to monitor pharmacies, like the New England Compounding Center (NECC), which triggered a deadly meningitis outbreak.
FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg called for more laws clarifying her agency's authority to crack down on companies. Members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee spent most of the first hearing on the outbreak questioning state and federal regulators about why they didn't act sooner against New England Compounding Center. The Framingham-base company distributed contaminated pain injections that have sickened more than 460 people and caused 32 deaths.
A timeline assembled by the committee's Republican staff showed that the FDA and the Massachusetts board of pharmacy investigated NECC more than a dozen times in the past decade.
Compounding pharmacies traditionally fill special orders placed by doctors for individual patients, turning out a small number of customized formulas each week. They are typically overseen by state pharmacy boards. However, during the last two decades, some compounders, like the NECC, have grown into large businesses that ship thousands of doses of drugs to multiple states. Hamburg said that when her agency tries to intervene in those cases they face a "crazy quilt," of court rulings, which are split on whether the federal government has authority over pharmacies.
"You're the grand poobah of the FDA and I'm asking you, 'could you have prevented this tragedy?' and you're saying you couldn't have because you don't have jurisdiction," said Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., in one particularly heated exchange.
"No, I'm saying it's very hard to know if any one action we might have taken would have stopped this terrible tragedy," Hamburg said.
In prepared testimony, Hamburg suggested putting in place a two-tier system in which traditional compounding pharmacies continue to be regulated at the state level, but larger pharmacies would be subject to FDA oversight. Hamburg said regulators would have to consider multiple factors, including how much interstate business a pharmacy does, to identify non-traditional compounders.
These non-traditional pharmacies would have to register with the FDA and undergo regular inspections, similar to pharmaceutical manufacturers. Large compounding pharmacies would also have to meet the more stringent manufacturing standards required of pharmaceutical companies.
Earlier in the hearing, the owner and director of the NECC declined to testify, invoking his Fifth Amendment right to not answer questions in order to avoid self-incrimination.
The pharmacy has been closed since early last month, and Massachusetts officials have taken steps to permanently revoke its license.
Health officials say as many as 14,000 people received steroid shots, mostly for back pain. The Centers for Disease Control later showed that at least two lots of the injections distributed to 23 states were contaminated with fungus. The fungal meningitis outbreak was first discovered in September, though CDC officials say the earliest deaths connected to the outbreak date back to July.
Fungal meningitis causes inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord.

Esther, The Beautiful Queen
Source: Victoria Louise Pendleton Memoir (Manuscript Collection #17.1.b)
Staff Person: Jonathan Dembo
The program above, advertising a performance of Esther, The Beautiful Queen, to be presented at the Warrenton, North Carolina Town Hall on 11 October 1894, is from the Victoria Louise Pendleton Memoir manuscript collection. Mrs. Pendleton was born in October 1837, in Pitt County, North Carolina and attended school in Greenville as a girl. After graduating from high school, she married Robert Leckie Jones of Mecklenburg County, Virginia, in 1854. He died less than a year later, leaving her with a young daughter, Helen. After the Civil War Mrs. Jones moved to Warrenton. She taught school for a while at the Wilcox School and at Warrenton College. Later, she and Mrs. S. D. Twitty, established a private school for girls in her house. Each year, as she recounts in her memoir, the students in her schools produced an artistic or musical performance for the public. The program, above, is the only example in her collection.
In 1872, Mrs. Jones married Major Arthur S. Pendleton, of Portsmouth, Virginia, a veteran of the Civil War. The couple, who resided in Warrenton, had two sons, Milo W. Pendleton, who died young, and Col. Arthur Pendleton, who later married Miss Sara Busbee, and in whose home Mrs. Pendleton lived her declining years. Mrs. Pendleton remained active throughout her life until only a few weeks prior to her death when she suffered a stroke. At the time of her death, on 9 April 1931 at age 93, she was the oldest person in Warrenton. Her funeral was attended by nearly the entire population of the community.
In addition to her teaching activities Mrs. Pendleton was also active in a wide variety of patriotic, civic, and religious organizations. She taught Sunday School for 70 consecutive years and was active in the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. She served as the UDC's representative at the unveiling of the Robert E. Lee statue at Stone Mountain, Georgia, in 1925. Mrs. Pendleton's photocopied memoir contains far more than a biographical account of her life. It also includes historical accounts of Warrenton and Warren County, its notable schools, churches, buildings and family homes. It features short biographical sketches of major military figures who visited and played a part in Warrenton's history, including Confederate generals Robert E. Lee, Fitzhugh Lee, Joseph E. Johnston, Edward C. Walthall, Wade Hampton, Matt W. Ransom, Robert Ransom and Confederate spy Rose O'Neal Greenhow; political figures including Dr. Charles D. McIver, and Gov. Charles B. Aycock, Among the histories of schools in Warrenton, are those of Warrenton Male Academy, Mordecai School, Falkner School, Miss Hannah Lee's School, Miss Harriet Allen's School, and many more. Mrs. Pendleton also recounts histories of all the churches of Warrenton, including the Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist churches. She provides brief histories of nearly two dozen private homes and other buildings in Warrenton, including the home of Thomas Howard Payne (author of "Home Sweet Home"), the Brick Spring House (home of Nathaniel Macon), and the Henry A. Boyd House. These brief handwritten accounts, written in a straightforward yet sprightly style, are legible and almost as easy to read as the original.

CrossFit Affiliation
Are you a CrossFit affiliate?
Why are we asking?
We will add the required "CrossFit Journal" link for you.
If you're not an affiliate, no worries, we are still here for you.
Daily Workouts
The workout of the day (WOD) will be the main focus of your site. It will be shown alongside a daily member blog with comments and photos. We also include announcements for birthdays, new members, and more.
Workouts can be scheduled as far in advance as you'd like. Members cannot see these planned workouts.
We will start you out with a bunch of preloaded named CrossFit workouts. You can choose from these or make your own. No two gyms do the same workouts, but this will help get you started.
Allow members to see tomorrow's WOD.
Check this to allow members to see what they can look forward to in the gym tomorrow.
All past WODs and results can be searched by:
Member Name
Result or WOD Date
Movements, like "rope climbs"
Gym Record Ranking
Workout Name and Description
Class Schedule
Do you want to use our built-in class schedule?
Our scheduler allows you to setup a rolling one-week class schedule.
Here are some of the features:
Assign trainer/coach for each class.
Member 'Sign Up' with attendance tracking.
Class Size minimums and maximums with 'Wait List' feature.
Built-in workflow/email for substitute trainer/coach.
Limit classes to custom group.
One-Time classes for Special Events
Trainer Tools
Here are some trainer features.
Like everything else, these options can be changed later.
Create a private forum called 'Trainer Talk'.
This will create a private trainer-only forum to discuss member issues, WODs, vacations, etc without member visibility.
Allow members to share their personal logs with a trainer.
Check this to turn on the personal journal of workout progress, eating habits, goals. They will have the ability to share this journal with a trainer/coach of their choice.
Athlete Tools
One of the biggest motivators when working out is competition. Over time your biggest competitor is yourself. Tracking your performance history is essential.
What is my 1-rep max deadlift?
Each member athlete can search their past results easily. They can also see what percentage of those results were done as-prescribed (Rx+,Rx,Rx2,Rx3) or how many gym records they currently hold.
We have a feature that allows you to define multiple levels of prescribed movements and weight for each workout. This challenges top-level athletes, but also allows you to define scaled levels for those athletes who also want to compete but have a few movements they haven't conquered... yet.
In case you missed this earlier: we can upload your current list of athletes if you've got one. This will help get you up and running fast... just send us the list and we do the rest.
Big Screen and Timer
When your athletes show up at the gym for their signed up class time, they can be greeted by a big screen display of the WOD plus any results so far.
Plus, any athletes signed up for class will be displayed with any previous personal record (PR) for the workout.
When it's time to start the workout, use our built-in timer instead of buying an expensive dedicated timer. The RxGym timer will take over the entire screen and has simple setup options for all the various types of workouts: AMRAP, countdown, tabata, EMOM and stopwatch.
We have integrated payments directly into the website. We use a payment processor with excellent customer service and very low rates. You can setup automatic recurring membership payments for your athletes, for all types of memberships, with customized amounts and due dates. Easily adjust the due date to accommodate for situations like injuries or vacations.
RxGym has a unique virtual membership card that shows current status and with 'Owner' level access you can see other sections of the membership page, like settings, payment options, and activity history.
We also have a built-in online store with shopping cart that uses the same integrated payment. You can setup store items, like: tshirts, supplements, sports drinks, or anything else you want to sell from your gym. Get paid using the same payment options used for memberships or allow visitors to purchase directly with credit cards. Manage inventory or even take pre-orders. It's fully customizable to your gym needs.
In order to use the integrated payment features, you'll need to go through some setup steps after you create a merchant account with our preferred processor. We can help guide you through the process when you're ready.
Electronic Waivers
Do you want to use our integrated electronic waivers and digital signature management?
Does your gym insurance require electronic waivers stored online?
Is it a pain to print out the waivers and get signatures in the gym?
We have a full workflow for gathering signatures from athletes when they access the website and store a full history of all waiver versions and signatures associated with each version. You can easily see who has signed and who hasn't. This is included with your RxGym monthly price. Everything we do is included, always.
Our RxGym digital signature contains: date, time, ip-address, initials and waiver version.
If you require a printout, that's built-in also. It's easy to print signed and unsigned waivers for any version you have created.
Social Sites
If you have accounts setup on any social media sites, enter the full web address below (copy it from the browser address bar at the top) and we will add a link on your site.
Facebook and Twitter
We understand how important social media is today, so if you have a Facebook Page (it must be a 'Page' not a Group or Profile) or a Twitter account, you can integrate them into your gym site to show your latest posts and comments.
Do you want to add the Facebook 'Page' widget?
Do you want to add the Twitter activity widget?
Feel free to go back and revisit any pages of this questionnaire.
You can also modify these options later from your RxGym site.

LONG BEACH, Calif. – The UC Santa Barbara baseball team dropped a day-night doubleheader to Long Beach State on Saturday and in each game, a couple of well-timed hits could have changed things around.
The Gauchos lost the first game, 6-3, in which the team left 13 runners on base and then dropped the nightcap, 5-4, in 14 innings after holding a two-run lead in the 12th and leaving 13 more men on base. UCSB falls to 17-16 and 4-4 in the Big West while LBSU improves to 15-17, 6-2.
In the second game, right-handed starter Austin Pettibone was magnificent through the first five innings as both teams had trouble generating offense. The Gauchos actually led, 1-0, without getting a basehit through the first six innings.
Brett Vertigan's base hit in the seventh - only the second of the night at that point by UCSB - gave the Gauchos a 2-1 lead. However, Long Beach State battled back to tie things up in a bit of foreshadowing.
Pinch-hitter Josh Guerra's single off reliever Matt Vedo scored a run and the game was knotted at 2-2. From there, each team threatened but couldn't break through for the next four-plus innings.
UCSB had runners on base in the eighth, 10th and 11th before coming through in the 12th. Vertigan singled, stole second and moved to third on Lance Roenicke's sacrifice bunt. Brandon Trinkwon walked and he stole second to put runners on second and third with two outs. After Greg Mahle was intentionally walked, Marc Venning hit a chopper through the left side to drive in two. Venning's ball, which tipped off the glove of Juan Avila as the third baseman ranged far to his left in the hole, was initially ruled a base hit, but later changed to an error.
Either way, UCSB led 4-2.
Santa Barbara, though, could not split the doubleheader that easily. Ino Patron's one-out triple drove in a run and with two outs, Brennan Metzger hit a short blooper in the middle of the infield that landed in front of a hard-charging Steven Moon for a base hit, bringing in Patron and tying the game at 4-4.
In the bottom of the 14th, LBSU loaded the bases on a walk, a fielder's choice that went awry and and another hit batter. After Matt Duffy walked to open the inning against Mahle, Patron tried to lay down a sac bunt. First baseman Marc Venning tried to throw to second to get the lead runner, but lost his footing and his throw sailed high, putting runners on first and second. Avila was hit by a pitch and after a foulout, a groundball could have sent the game to the 15th.
It was not to be. Mahle (0-2) hit Johnny Bekakis on a 3-1 pitch to force in the winning run.
In the first game, UCSB led 2-0 with single runs in the third and fourth innings. The Gauchos scratched out the first run on Ryan Palermo's RBI double and scored in the fourth inning on Moon's sac fly.
Freshman lefty Andrew Vasquez was confounding the 49ers hitters through the first five innings, but LBSU got to him four times in the sixth. Metzger's sac fly got LB on the board and after a run-scoring single, the 49ers took advantage of a mental error.
On Guerra's RBI single, he took a wide turn around first base and purposely got caught in a rundown. Juan Avila, who moved to third on the single, darted home when the catcher, Joe Winterburn's throw went to second base. Avila slid in under the tag of Vasquez and that was it for the UCSB freshman.
The Gauchos, though, got a run back in the eighth on Moon's base hit and then loaded the bases in the ninth.
Consecutive walks to Mahle and Venning, following Roenicke's single, brought up the go-ahead run in the form of Luke Swenson. After working the count full, Swenson hit a ball down the first base line that Patron knocked down and then flipped to closer Kyle Friedrichs for the final out and the first game of the series.
The two teams square off in a 1 p.m. game on Sunday. Fans can listen live by clicking here with the pregame show starting at 12:30.

Malaysia is an interesting place. It is an ethnic mixture of Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous peoples. The religion is 60% Muslim, 19% Buddhist then Christian and Hindu. So, where ever you point your camera you get something different. The country is booming and multi-national companies are running to Malaysia to set up shop. Yet, Malaysia is trying hard to keep it's cultural uniqueness. It is a very diverse country and to be honest I have not spent enough time traveling it to give the viewers of this gallery a true feel of what Malaysia is all about.

It isn't officially summer until your kids are covered head to toe in melted popsicles. Who cares about the mess? That's what sprinklers and dogs who love to lick were made for, right? Exactly. Still, keeping the house fully stocked with the icy treats can be a hassle, and you don't want kids totally wired on sugar day in and day as they run in tiny little circles banging their heads on the wall, do you?
I've got a solution to the sugar madness, the no-school boredom, AND the popsicle problem! Boom! I'm a problem-solving machine! Get the kiddos on board and make your own red, white, and blue rocket popsicles! Of course you can update this recipe to make any ol' type of popsicle you desire, but something about the red, white, and blue popsicles always makes me giddy with thoughts of summer. This recipe does mean investing in popsicle molds, but trust me -- they are cheap and basically pay for themselves.
Red, White & Blue Popsicle Recipe
1 (12 oz.) bag frozen blueberries, defrosted
6 tablespoons honey
1 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup milk
1 (12-oz.) bag frozen raspberries, defrosted
Place defrosted blueberries and 2 tbsp honey in a blender and puree until smooth.
Pour the blueberry puree a 1/3 way up each popsicle mold and freeze for 30-45 minutes.
Combine yogurt, milk, and 2 tbsp of honey in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
Pour yogurt mixture 2/3 way up the popsicle molds on top of the blueberry mixture, and freeze for another 30-45 minutes.
Place defrosted raspberries and 2 tbsp honey in a blender and blend until smooth.
Finish the popsicles by pouring the raspberry puree over the yogurt, place sticks in, and freeze.
Have you ever made your own popsicles?

King of the Road
The Mangel Series, Book 3

Narrated by: James Clamp
Length: 7 hrs and 39 mins
Regular price: £9.69
£7.99/month after 30 days. Cancel anytime
Released after a three-year stretch in a mental institution, Royston Blake finds that the world has moved on, even Mangel. Gone are most of his old haunts, including Hoppers, where he spent years working the door. In its place: a huge, gleaming new shopping mall, servicing the town's every consumer need. But not everyone is happy to see the old ways swept aside. A mysterious opposition group calling itself the "Old Guard" has made its mission abundantly clear on the letters page of the local newspaper, and soon sets about trying to recruit Blake as its agent of retribution. Meanwhile, Blake just wants to settle down with his girl, Sal, and get to know the son he never met. But old habits are tough to break.

Critic reviews
"Royston Blake is a boastful, aggressive, foul-mouthed, psychopathic hard-man of the utmost political incorrectness, a failure at everything he does but an indomitable believer in his own cleverness and sex appeal. He's also a careless multiple killer (though insistent that it was never his fault). In short, a thoroughly unpleasant and dislikeable character. Why, then - this is a great mystery - is it so enjoyable to read about him?" (Marcel Berlins, The London Times)
"Blackly funny and bone-jarringly violent...Williams' latest offering comes across like a heady literary mix between Straw Dogs and Pulp Fiction." ( Dublin Evening Herald)
"A sharp and bitingly funny novel." ( The Big Issue)

Across the table with Stefan Pierer CEO of KTM
By now, every Indian motorcycle fan (and more) has heard of KTM. And like all the places it's gone to, KTM has already gathered a following of its own and is on its way to becoming a cult-inspiring brand. Not bad for a company that launched its first product in the country little more than a year ago. Never mind that no one knows what KTM stands for.
While its partnership with Bajaj has a lot to do with its success as does canny business strategy, KTM's success is the result of one man's vision - that of Stefan Pierer, CEO of KTM. And we managed to corner him at the Geneva Motor Show at the KTM booth full of variants of the KTM X-Bow. It looks like a car that was made out of leftover motorcycle parts, so naturally we begin by asking him about it.
trPierer wants as much involvement from Bajaj as possible, and wants to bring Husqvarna to India and other emerging markets in a couple of years
"Will it come to India?' we ask, throwing each other amused glances at the absurdity of the question. As expected, Pierer replies, "There doesn't seem to be a market for this kind of vehicle in India. Plus there are a lot of rules - homologation and this and that - so for a car like this, it's very difficult." At this point, we suggest holding a track day-clinic at the BIC F1 circuit to gauge response to the X-Bow, to which he replies, "That sounds interesting... maybe you guys could help us do it!" Uncomfortable with the idea of doing some actual work, we change the topic.
Congratulating him on buying the fabled Husqvarna brand from BMW, we ask him about how that's going to work out, with KTM and Bajaj in the picture. He's more than happy to share. "Husqvarna and KTM are not in direct competition as I see it. Now that we have Husqvarna, we will position it in a more accessible space - it will be less hardcore than KTM, with more road-biased performance from the models. Of course, we will share platforms because it is an effective business strategy."
So, will there be a Husqvarna 200 based on the Duke 200? "Yes, of course! Also another, based on the 390... and other models as they come along." Now, we were always of the opinion that Husqvarna was Pierer's retirement plan. Given Bajaj's steadily increasing stake in KTM, we expected a day to come when Bajaj would take over majority stake and Pierer would leave, having Husqvarna to run the way he pleased. Instead, he wants as much involvement from Bajaj as possible, and wants to bring Husqvarna to India and other emerging markets in a couple of years. That's a mighty impressive intention.
"We want every brand to benefit, and that happens only by sharing, not by living alone. So yes, we will work out a business model where every brand improves without losing its identity," he says. And how does he feel about KTM's Indian partnership? "It's a very good thing. We are proud of what we have accomplished with Bajaj, and we will keep the momentum going with the Duke 390 launch in a couple of months and the faired version of the 200 by the end of the year. Indian bike fans have a lot to look forward to!"
At this point, we run out of things to ask, seeing as Pierer's told us everything without needing to ask too many questions in the first place. And there are quite few things we've learnt: by April/May 2013, we will get the bigger Duke and before we recover from it, there'll be another one coming. Also, it's amazing to think that Bajaj will share their parts with motorcycles that sport Husqvarna and KTM tags. But in a world that relies increasingly on perception rather than actual differentiation, it's the done thing to do, we suppose. It's a win-win situation, especially for customers, and we're really looking forward to seeing how India benefits from all this sharing. Oh, and by the way, KTM stands for Kronreif Trunkenpolz Mattighofen.

That the Mets turned away Boston's overture for Chris Capuano can only mean he's in their plans for next year. Sandy Alderson's string of reasons for why the deal didn't go through may all ring true, but the Mets looking ahead is the primary explanation.
Capuano pitched well enough this year to warrant an extension, but the Mets' interest in retaining him suggest the team's long-standing concerns over its starting pitching.
The 11-12 Capuano is a 57-64 lifetime pitcher with an ERA north of four runs a game. He is what he is, which is a No. 5 quality starter. Capuano, a risk that paid off, is a left hander, which makes him worth the gamble again, especially considering the Mets' questions in that area.
Johan Santana is recovering from shoulder surgery and had setbacks. The Mets can't write him in with ink for next year, and who is to say if he returns he'll even be close to his former self? As far as Santana is concerned, the Mets can't bank on anything with him.
Jonathan Niese also pitched well at times this season, but finished on the disabled list with a pulled side muscle and therefore is a concern. This is twice now Niese finished a season on the disabled list with a pulled muscle.
There are no givens with the rest of the rotation, either, with the possible exception of R.A. Dickey, he of the unpredictable pitch. After a slow start, Dickey has closed well.
Mike Pelfrey remains an enigma. He regressed greatly this season to the point where questions are being asked if he'll ever live up to expectations. Can anybody honestly say they have confidence in Pelfrey, when time after time he has spit the bit?
Then there's Dillon Gee, who started hot, but hit a rocky stretch. There's no guarantee he won't regress like Pelfrey. Other teams have scouts, too, so he's not surprising anybody anymore.
The Mets have pitching prospects below, but Zack Wheeler and Matt Harvey are at least two years away and Jenrry Mejia is coming off Tommy John surgery.
Chris Schwinden will be invited to camp in the spring, but he doesn't get one salivating.
You can scan the free agent lists all you like, but the Mets won't spend for a long term deal for a CJ Wilson, Rich Harden or Mark Buehrle. There are the likes of Freddy Garcia and Jason Marquis and a handful of other retreads they'll scan, but hardly anything you could build around.
The Mets are hardly dealing from a position of strength when it comes to their 2012 rotation, so wanting to bring back Capuano is the obvious thing to do. That is, of course, if they can sign him.

** Scott's Note: This article has been corrected to note Monday was the 2nd earliest 70 degree day on record in Seattle. It's the earliest March date, but it reached 70 degrees in Seattle on Feb. 27, 1968 so today is the earliest day above 70 degrees. **
SEATTLE -- February might have had a three-week stretch of below normal temperatures but it was a distant memory on Monday as temperatures soared to heights not seen this early in the year in decades.
Seattle's Sea-Tac Airport (where the official data is kept) reached 73 degrees Monday, not only shattering the daily record high for the day of 68, but making it among the earliest 70-degree days on record at Sea-Tac. The previous "fastest to 70 degree" year was Feb. 27, 1968 but Monday marks the earliest day to be above 70 degrees, breaking the old record of March 15, 1972 when it hit 72.
The 73 degree reading also makes it tied for the 4th warmest March day on record with some daytime heating still to go!
The "heat" comes from a double whammy of an influx of warm air. A storm swirling offshore has pumped in much warmer air from the south, while lower pressure offshore is drawing in east winds along the surface. Those east winds warm further when they sink down the Cascade Mountains.
It's a one-and-done warm day though. That storm offshore will spread clouds in Monday night with light rain developing Tuesday. Highs will quick drop back into the low 50s and stay there for the remainder of the week.
Long range models suggest 70 degrees is not in the cards again anytime soon.

daenterpri needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 46 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
I need a logo for a Jeep Enthusiast website. The site is called Jeep Profile. It will be at http://www.jeepprofile.com
Jeep Profile
Jeep Profile is a site for Jeep Enthusiasts. Jeep owners will eventually be able to login and create their own "profile page" for their Jeep. We will also have a forum, industry news, Jeep of the Day, etc...
The site will not be limited to any one kind of Jeep. However, if you are going to create a "Jeep Icon" for us, then please model it after the Wrangler if you are going to model it after a Jeep. The Wrangler is what people think of when they think of Jeep's.
The sister site of this site is Truck Profile.com. I do NOT necesarily like the logo on Truck Profile, so please dont try to make the Jeep one similar.
Jeep Profile will not be selling any products, we are strictly for social networking. The website URL if that needs to be added to the logo is jeepprofile.com. However, I dont really care if it is in the logo or not.
- A Logo that makes people think, "Jeep", "Adventure" and maybe even off-roading...but also clean and professional...but not too professional because its more of a BIG club rather than a business.
- A logo that people would eventually want to see on their Jeeps
- Something that would look good on clothing
- The Brand name must be read easily.
- No Skulls
- No half naked chicks
- No pink logo's

About Robert Keenan Winery
Producer Facts
Winery Name
Robert Keenan Winery
Web Site
Michael Keenan
Robert Keenan always had a hunch that Napa's mountain vineyards had the potential to produce some of its greatest wines. In 1974 he decided to see if he was right, purchasing 180 acres on Spring Mountain to found Keenan Winery. The site wasn't new — it included the Peter Conradi Winery, first planted in the 19th century — but it had been in decline since Prohibition and needed serious redevelopment. 40 years later, Robert's hunch has proven to be true beyond all doubt. Keenan's superb Cabernets are draped in mountain glory.
The winery and vineyards are located about 1,700 feet up on Spring Mountain, next door to Philip Togni and just down the road from Paloma, Schweiger, Pride, and Vineyard 7 & 8. There are four different vineyard zones on the irregularly shaped property, with the steeply pitched parcels intermingled with forests. According to Robert's son Michael, who now heads up the family winery, the soils are "officially Olympic and Aiken loam, but it's basically rock." These well-drained, vine-stressing rocky soils combine with the unique climate high above the valley floor to give the Keenan wines their unique character.
The first Keenan vintage was produced in 1977, making the winery one of the early players in Napa's modern boom. Since then Keenan has developed an excellent track record for producing solid, well-made wines with a muscular character rooted in their mountain origins. There is also a certain polish to match, a more "old school" approach, that manifests itself beautifully in the finished wines. They are structured but not hard, classic but not at all rustic, solid, nicely honed and focused with power and class. Michael Keenan makes all final winemaking decisions, assisted by a team that has largely been together since 1995. On his roster is winemaker Nils Venge, who has consulted at Keenan since 1994 and is officially recognized around the winery as CWW/FLG (Certified Wine Wizard/Frequent Lunch Guest).
Michael considers the trio of recent vintages some of the best he has seen in his long tenure here. He noted, "2014 is some of the best Cabernet ever — in 2013 it was the Merlot, and everything was perfect in 2012." Given the rock-solid team Michael has in place, and with some recently replanted vineyards now reaching maturity, I think we can expect to see more of the same from this pioneering winery as it enters its fifth decade on Spring Mountain.

In recent years, along with the stabilized situation in the region, tourism in Montenegro has begun to recover, and Montenegro is being re-discovered by tourists from around the globe. Its coastline stretches for 93 miles along the Adriatic Sea. The splendid Tara Canyon in is the largest in Europe, and the Bay of Kotor is the only real fjord in the south of Europe.
