What if it only took a few minutes to unplug from the INSANITY of our world?
As an online business owner, I find I am constantly "plugged in." From bright computer screens to iPads, iPhones and all other delicious Apple tech-y products!
If you are as sensitive energetically as I am, you know the electromagnetic waves are interrupting our natural way of being.
And we both know if we clear this disruption, all is cool! The question is: how can we get energetically clear faster so we feel more vibrantly alive?
Today's guest, Tristan Truscott, sensei and founder of the Austin Martial Arts Academy and the Satori Method Academy, says technology is amazing, but using tech responsibly is equally important.
"It's the electromagnetic pollution in the power lines, the microwaves, the Bluetooths, the cellphones, the towers," Truscott says. "All of that, it's constantly bombarding your electromagnetic circuitry. This is what's getting you disrupted."
In other words a disrupted electromagnetic field can raise our beta brain wave state and lead to feeling more stressed out and disconnected with our body and being. YUCK!
Oh, by the way! Tristan and Sabrina live near my office in Austin, so we get face-time together sharing ideas on creating bigger, more energetic lives! They truly walk their talk!
Let's change this electromagnetic disruption! Enjoy this podcast and check out Tristan and Sabrina's amazing special offer!
About Tristan and Sabrina Truscott

I did, in my previous post, wholly forget to make note of the Calishite wizard's plundered spellbook, which Riwyn is presumed to have in her possession and to have perused with a casting of read magic.
The volume is small, lightweight, and leather-bound, intended for use while traveling and ill-suited for large-scale research. A handful of weathered parchment sheets remain unmarked, though most of its pages are inscribed with the following spells:
- First level - detect magic, magic missile, read magic, sleep, shocking grasp
- Second level - blur, ESP
No additional XP award for obtaining this, though Lincoln is surely glad that it no longer resides in the hands of an enemy.

Food for thought, excerpted from Heather Marsh:
"In Individuals in Society I wrote of a state of nature where society did not exist. In truth, such a state has never existed outside of social contract theory because humans are social animals and we have always created societies. In today's structure, society with its dependencies and relationships has been converted to a completely monetized system of dissociation. For the first time in human history, people have been effectively dissociated from each other and are living in a state of no society.
This system of dissociation is so entrenched in society that it is very seldom questioned. Money for health care is equated to money for insurance, even though insurance companies do not provide health care. Banks need to be propped up to provide housing, even though banks do not provide housing. The almighty economy must be saved even at the cost of untold lives or life on earth itself; but we can't eat the economy. Education and information are controlled, not produced, by existing institutions; both could and should be replaced by transparency and open access. Distributors should be replaced by farmgate importing, information wants and needs to be free, and choosing one's own lifework is a basic right not to be removed by regulatory bodies.
In this system of dissociation, individuals have no societal protection. Each is dangling from the leech by their own little vein with a limited access to resources; there are no direct relationships or dependencies. Even if the access allows the person plentiful amounts of everything, there is a built in awareness of shortage and reliance on the system that strongly discourages sharing. If one person's vein is broken, their need is met by hostility from the others dangling by their own veins; to rescue another is to weaken oneself. Predictably, rescuing those in need requires the creation of more leeches in the form of NGO's and government regulatory bodies for people in crisis, resulting in a transference of responsibility that prevents society as a whole from spending much time considering those who their society fails.
Ironically, the individuals whose access to the leech is for some reason broken are referred to themselves as leeches. As discussed in The Financial System, The Tax Payer was invented to assert control over other members of society such as children, anyone in crisis, prisoners and anyone who dares to work outside a corporate approved role. The Tax Payer is encouraged by relentless propaganda and enabled by the financial system to consider themselves both the backbone of society (as evidenced on monetary flowcharts and nowhere else) and personally robbed by all others. When people look for the source of the obvious flaws in the systems of dissociation, they are always pointed to those that are not acting as The Tax Payer. Seldom does society look past the propaganda to the real leeches.
A society is formed by a mother* giving birth to a child. Once a mother becomes pregnant, dependency has been created and she must surround herself with a support network, or a society; at the very least, if her society is to survive, she must create a support network between herself and her child or find another caretaker for her child. A woman and a child is the basic unit of a society, a unit with dependencies and unequal ability working for a common goal. This is where a new society must start to plan a new direction.
In today's un-society, the core element has been two or more men* shaking hands. That is not a society, that is a trade relationship. A trade relationship must occur among equally advantaged partners if one is not to be taken at a disadvantage. Dependencies are abhorrent in a trade relationship. Dependencies and sharing weaken a trading partner; ownership strengthens them.
There are many dependencies in a full society besides children. The reason children are the core is of course because without them, a society dies, but a full society will also have people with a variety of mental and physical limitations and gifts. In today's society people with any dependencies are seen as worthless, or at best inferior, instead of different. Today's ideal is a young, healthy, intelligent adult with no dependencies. The fallacy of equality for women is dependent on their simulation of that ideal; women have an equal opportunity to participate in trade relationships. As long as women or men perform society building roles such as child rearing, including protecting, feeding, educating, sheltering and clothing children, or all of the support services required in a healthy society, they are vilified and abused by the structure today. Educating children pays far less than educating adults who are perfectly capable of educating themselves; parenting usually pays nothing at all. Giving birth is a financial, health and social liability; killing people is a lucrative and highly respected career. Advocates for women seek to empower them to leave society building roles for corporate endorsed ones instead of creating a society that respects and values societal support as a role for all.
There have been several instances of people in the west today seeking to create a moneyless society, but these people are predominantly (exclusively?) healthy and male, or partnered with a healthy male. When a child, an elder, or someone with severe mental or physical dependencies can live in a money free society we can call it a society; until then it is a trade relationship. There is a great deal of work ahead before dependencies can be supported freely and with no real or implied charity."

Yesterday's positive call had some success although trading was, pre-FOMC, muted. In later price action USDJPY spiked to 2 month highs, above 113.00. but those extremes were not maintained into the close. In fact a sequence of 4 up days in a row was ended with a frim rejection of the highs – Tuesday's net gains entirely reversed. This decline is expected to impact on today's price action and so;
We look to Sell at 112.65 and 112.90
Stop is 113.17 bid
Targets; 112.48, 112.27 or even 112.04

Static Belay System
The Traditional Static Belay System (Maze Course) uses a set of "Y tails" or lanyards with two legs. Attached at the waist to the center of the lanyard, the participant manually opens and closes a connector on the end of each leg of the lanyard. These clips open with the push of two buttons simultaneously. The participant is responsible to ensure that they are always attached to at least one belay cable )or approved and rated clip-in point) The potential for a "total unclip" exists with this system and requires a higher staff to participant ratio to ensure participant safety, but this is a less expensive belay system at the time of initial installation. IN the long term, the increased staffing costs make this a more expensive option. Staff observes ever transfer of the participants. They can only view one transfer at a time.
View the slide show below for examples of different static courses. For even more examples be sure to check out our Ropes Course Gallery.

This Analysis was first published as part of the Hudson Institute's Current Trends in Islamist Ideology series on June 1, 2012
The town of Parachinar, located in a far-flung corner of western Pakistan, is fondly called by some Iranian Shiites "Little Iran." The majority of the town's residents are ethnic Pashtuns who belong to the Shia faith. It is also the capital of Kurram Agency, one of the seven tribal districts that make up the politically volatile Federally Administrated Tribal Areas. In recent years, Parachinar has effectively been under siege by Sunni militants. Since 2007, waves of sectarian violence have killed hundreds of Shia from Parachinar. In reaction to this, Parachinar has become a potent symbol of Shia suffering, and the plight of its Shia residents has become a rallying cry for elements of the Iranian regime.
The tragic state of affairs in Parachinar may be seen as a reflection of the mounting sectarian strife which has threatened in recent years to engulf the Pakistani nation. It may also be used as a yardstick to measure the willingness and ability of the Islamic Republic of Iran to protect Shia communities wherever they might be. After all, the Tehran regime is often looked upon as the global champion and guardian of the Shia. And historically, the Islamic Republic has actively supported Shiite militancy internationally, including in Pakistan.
Today, however, Tehran's actions rarely match its most fervent rhetoric about the suffering of Pakistan's Shia. Indeed, among the ranks of Pakistan's Shia activists, many today are disappointed by what they perceive as the lack of Iranian pressure on Islamabad to take measures to protect the Shia of Parachinar and to crackdown on sectarian groups and ideologies. In Iran as well, there are analysts and even senior Shia clergy who have condemned what they deem to be Tehran's weak stance toward anti-Shia violence in Pakistan. As Shia-Sunni violence continues in Pakistan, Tehran's position will invariably be scrutinized from different corners since Iran is an influential regional actor with the capacity to either fuel or rein in sectarian tensions and violence in Pakistan and elsewhere in Asia.

It's tricky. Working the numbers, place the bet and watch your pick head into the turn toward the finish line. That's the race Lou Lamoriello ran with Ilya Kovalchuk. Just over the one-year anniversary of the controversial signing of Ilya Kovalchuk, the rejection of the deal by the NHL and the fines slapped on the hand and wallet of Devils GM/Preident Lou Lamoriello didn't discourage in his efforts. Lou is hard at work this summer placing bets for the 2011-12 season. The race in the Atlantic Division will be a tough ride with Jagr in Philly, Richards in NYC and the Pens if Crosby return.
Devils fans can breathe a sign of relief at the signing of high-scoring left wing Zach Parise to a one-year-contract worth $6 million. Avoiding arbitration, the Devils secured their franchise player making room under the salary cap by shipping off Brian Rolston. Parise is the race horse the Devils GM had to sign.
Brian Rolston waived his no-trade clause to go to the Islanders, and in turn, the Devils pick up Trent Hunter. The forward spent nine seasons with the Islanders, compiling 99 goals and 229 points in 459 NHL games, but played just 17 games last season, scoring one goal, because of a torn knee ligament. The advantage in all of this is Hunter is a competitive third/fourth liner who is a two-way player, smart defensively and an option on the penalty-kill unit. Hunter is seen as a good fit for the Devils for his "smart, not flashy" style, but has bee plagued with injuries.
Coaching took a turn when Jacques Lamiere voiced he would not return for another season bail out, so the Devils went and grabbed former Florida Panthers coach Peter DeBoer, who was fired in April for failing to take the cats into the postseason. But Lou saw something in the 43-year old coach. The two have been chatting for the past few months. Lamoriello determined DeBoer to be "one of the best young coaches in the business, and his three seasons with the Panthers only made him a better coach."
Can devildom reach its full potential or suffer in purgatory for the year? Hockey pundits have given New Jersey an average rating with a low playoff seed in the Atlantic Division. Top-rated teams in that division will be tough to race against, notably the New York Rangers who have made some splash this offseason. The Devils are building and the New Jersey fans will continue to believe in Lou because he has their best hockey interests at heart according to his PR staff, a.k.a Lou Lamoriello.

Soups are essentially comforting and really filling, and ideal for those who want to follow a balanced diet, yet, with the little pleasures offered by life. This recipe makes use of a lovely array vegetables and pulses, and wisely keeps all sort of dairy or animal protein out. The richness of spinach and kale ups the vitamin K quotient considerably, and just a bowl of this soup can actually fulfill most of your daily need of calcium, vitamin K and several other minerals.
– ½ head of broccoli, chopped into large pieces
– 1 cup chopped butternut squash or pumpkin (canned pumpkin will work as well)
– 1 onion, sliced
– 1 cup cooked pinto or great northern beans (you can use 1 cup of canned beans as well)
– 1 cup chopped tomatoes (or you can use 1 can of diced tomatoes)

Thai food is cooked with a huge amount of fresh vegetables and protein. However, they have a bad rap for being oily.
In this version of the green curry, we will be cutting out most of the oil and adding coconut milk, long known as one of the best sources of minerals like potassium, magnesium and calcium, and add plenty of green vegetables to make sure the recipe is not just balanced, but extremely tasty too.
We will also sneak in some spinach to make sure our Vitamin K intake remains unaffected, and some extra fibers will be getting in with the aid of a number of vegetables.

Mary Lattimore and Jeff Zeigler Concert
Lattimore and Zeigler visit the Downtown Campus on Monday Sept. 29th at 7pm.
LORD C PRESENTS an evening of music and visuals with two duos: headlining are harpist, Mary Lattimore and multi-instrumentalist, Jeff Zeigler. Local audiovisual artists, David and Tara Gladden, will be opening the show. Lattimore and Zeigler visit our Downtown Campus as part of their new record release tour, Slant of Light.
On their first record as a duo, Slant of Light, Lattimore and Zeigler emerge completely synergetic, offering up stunning improvisations that are as advanced melodically as they are texturally. The four pieces on Slant of Light are seductive and picturesque, with Lattimore's elaborate melodies blossoming out of Zeigler's tonal beds of synthesizer and guitar. Equally inviting and challenging, Slant of Light is an impressionistic work that draws on musical histories ancient and contemporary, existing outside current trends in music as a whole. There is nothing that sounds remotely like it.

We know more about Technical Gadgets.
Nearly a year ago, we heard that Apple was one of a group of companies that were being investigated for the possibility of price gouging in Australia. Today, the House of Representatives Committee on Infrastructure and Communications announced that the iPad maker, along with Adobe and Microsoft, have been issued subpoenas to appear before a public hearing to explain why they charge more for their products in the land Down Under.
The Committee began official inquiries in May of 2012 of major technology companies regarding complaints made by CHOICE and the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network, as well as the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy.
The committee wants to know why companies feel it is reasonable to charge much higher prices for goods and services in Australia than they do in the UK and US. Although there is no official list, other companies were named in this inquiry. However, Apple, Microsoft, and Adobe are the only ones who have not addressed the committee directly.
According to CNet, Apple previously gave evidence at a hearing and Microsoft submitted requested information but did not attend hearings. Adobe attended hearings, but gave no evidence and never submitted requested information.
Sydney's MP Ed Husic spoke with Kotaku Australia on the matter. He believes the move is unfortunate but necessary. "These firms should have cooperated and been prepared to be more open and transparent about their pricing approaches," Husic said.
Australia has been on the wrong end of what could almost be an international conspiracy. It seems that living in such a beautiful country comes with a high price. Many technology companies practice higher pricing in Australia, claiming that supporting an infrastructure on the island nation is cost prohibitive. The country is finally looking into how these major companies feel they can justify up to 60 percent higher costs for products than most other countries.
"Getting downward movement on IT prices and easing the bite of price discrimination should be an important micro-economic priority – so I'm looking forward to hearing from these firms about their pricing approaches," said Husic.

I'm using a Sony CCD-TRV46E to convert Hi8/Video8 tapes. Its connected via composite to a canopus ADVC110.
Yesterday I tried to play an NTSC tape but with no luck (even after changing the settings in the menu)
I skipped that particular tape and moved onto the next one. However, once this tape was loaded, none of the controls would work. I couldn't play/fast-forward/rewind etc. Even the buttons beside the screen do nothing. The screen itself is blue as usual but displays no icons. I can eject/load tapes no problem. Also if I switch to recording mode, everything appears to work as normal.
I'm working for a video transfer company and this camera has been used to capture hundreds of hours of footage already.
I just found it strange that this problem would occur so suddenly and without warning.
Does anyone know what the issue may be?
Has anyone encountered something similar before?

Jerusalem Temple Alert: Moving Closer to Rebuilding the Temple
A team of Israeli archaeologists have reconstructed the floor tiles used in the biblical Temple of Herod the Great. The find marks a breakthrough in biblical archaeology, but also shows how the Jordanian Waqf, which controls the site, has been careless at best with the site's Jewish heritage. In 1999, the Waqf which controls the Temple Mount (known as the Haram al-Sharif to Muslims), created a new entrance using bulldozers.

Benjamin Netanyahu: Jerusalem has and always will only be the capital of the Jewish people – Jerusalem Post
Jerusalem has historically only been the capital of the Jewish people, and so it will remain, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Sunday at the government's official Jerusalem Day Ceremony at Ammunition Hill."We need to tell the truth, without fear," Netanyahu said. "This is where we began our path as a nation, this is our home, and this is where we will stay."Netanyahu, in comments that left no doubt as to whether he would agree to share the capital with a Palestinian state, said Israel will ensure that the city remains an open and tolerant city."Only under Israeli rule will there be freedom of worship for all religions in Jerusalem," he said. "Believers pray at their holy sites not in spite of our rule in the city, but precisely because of it."The prime minister, who recalled growing up in a divided Jerusalem and catching a glimpse of the Old City through binoculars from certain vantage points in the capital, said it would never revert again to being "wounded and split.""We will forever preserve an undivided Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty," he said.

Report: Construction of footbridge to Temple Mount exacerbated geopolitical tensions – Arab-Israeli Conflict – Jerusalem Post
Israeli attempts last summer to construct a ramp to the Temple Mount resulted in heightened geopolitical tensions amid allegations of changes to the contested holy site's status quo, according to a report published Thursday.The findings were produced by Emek Shaveh, an organization of archeologists and community activists, who study the role of archeology in the Israeli- Palestinian conflict.While the report, entitled "Archeology in the Political Struggle Over the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif," delineates significant changes on the Temple Mount and its surroundings since 1967, it focuses on the political fallout engendered by the government's since-rescinded attempt to build the ramp to supplant the Mugrabi Bridge.According to the report, there were "unprecedented developments in the activities of the Israeli authorities around the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif," last summer involving the controversial entrance.

Go ahead, be obsessed with the latest and greatest marketing tools. As a fellow digital marketer, I know that finding new turn-key (plug-and-play) marketing tools can make your life a whole lot easier — opening up your schedule to spend more time running experiments and refining your strategy and less time building campaigns from scratch.
Over the past 3 years, every time I discovered a new marketing tool I would place a link to the tool in a Google Doc spreadsheet. Well, as you can imagine, 3 years later, the spreadsheet became 400 rows long and unmanageable as a 'quick guide' resource. So, I finally snapped out of my procrastination funk for cleaning this spreadsheet up in order to make it a daily resource. I went through the spreadsheet and pulled out marketing tools that I like or have used to put in a clean and shareable document to share to all my fellow growth marketers to use. The goal of the shared document is to provide a starting point for choosing which tools to use when executing your strategies. With so many tools on the market to choose from, I wanted to make filtering for your agile marketing needs as quick and painless as possible.
The document is organized by 4 high-level topics: tools, measurement, creative, inspiration. Under each is a few sub-headings that you can click to send you directly there (thanks Google for building in this TOC functionality). As I continue my pursuits in marketing, this document will continue to grow. I look forward to sharing all the tools I discover and hoping it flows both ways. Please leave tool suggestions or marketing inspiration in the comments or feel free to send me an email with tools you recommend to be added.
Keep growing marketers!
To top this post off with a little bonus content, here is an awesome infographic specific to digital content marketing tools. Enjoy!
I look forward to tool recommendations that I may have forgot to add to the list!

[This is an article originally blogged by Keenan.]
Twin Oaks is a great place to raise children. At Twin Oaks almost every parent likes their kid(s) and likes being a parent. Almost every parent is raising their children deliberately and consciously. Although not all of us parents agree with each other, we all concur that there are many bad mainstream child-rearing theories and practices that we want to avoid/overcome.
Kristen and I just celebrated the milestone of our youngest having his 18th birthday. We have been reflecting recently on our journey as parents, and we are very pleased with how the kids have turned out—pleased and relieved. Why relieved? Our parenting practices were at odds with almost every mainstream child-rearing theory we read. We weren't so confident that we could know for sure that the kids would turn out great. According to those other theories, our bizarre parenting practices should have resulted in kids who are emotionally crippled sociopaths. But they aren't—in fact, the kids are, by all accounts, altogether fine human beings. I don't want to gloat or embarrass the kids by describing how great they are—but take my word for it.
Kristen and I both had lots of experience with kids prior to having our own, so we were already quite skilled, or, at least, opinionated by the time we were holding a newborn. As the kids grew, we talked fairly constantly about how the kids were doing. We wanted to do things right; we would immediately work on any behavior problem that started to crop up, or, even better, recognize an interest early so we could kindle it. Through our experience as parents, our belief in the fundamental wrongness of how children are treated in the mainstream culture solidified. If you want to try to give your child a utopian childhood the hardest part is letting go of lots of misguided mainstream beliefs about children. Honestly, doing things right is a lot of work, but if you want to know what we did and why, without further ado, here is the "Dakota theory" of how to give children a utopian childhood:
[Kristen and I have the last name "Dakota." This has nothing to do with any Native American people]
Current belief: Children are lesser beings who should not expect or receive the same polite and considerate treatment that adults give each other.
Dakota theory: Children have the same intrinsic value that all humans have and should be listened to and treated with respect. Specifically, parents should like their children.
Conclusion: Children behave well when they are treated as though they are deserving of respect.
Current belief: Children should obey authority figures.
Dakota theory: Children should be taught that they are responsible human beings and they should learn to negotiate for what they want.
Conclusion: Children who are taught to obey, learn to distrust their own judgment. They also demonstrate less personal motivation. Children who are taught to negotiate show more task persistence and have a strong sense of self-esteem. Unfortunately, raising a child who negotiates requires more time and effort from parents.
Current belief: Children need peers to develop normal social skills.
Dakota theory: Children develop better social skills without same-age peers.
Conclusion: Children learn social skills from the people they are around. Children in groups and in institutional settings are sometimes inconsiderate or cruel to each other. Children who are around other children for much of the time, often develop dysfunctional behaviors from being with other, partially socialized, children. Children who are around adults for most of their formative years develop better social skills than children who are in group childcare for most of their formative years.
Current belief: Children need to go to school to 1) develop social skills and 2) to absorb a body of knowledge.
Dakota theory: School exposes children to bad social behaviors. The body of knowledge in school is often outdated, inadequate, and inaccurate. Additionally, it doesn't take much time to learn that body of knowledge at home.
Conclusion: Many children are exposed to unhealthy social behaviors from the bad behavior that inevitably results from large-scale institutionalization. The body of knowledge that schools pass along is easily gained at home. Typically, parents have other interests and values that schools don't teach.
Current belief: Children need to be punished, they need to be disciplined and they need consequences for their bad behavior.
Dakota theory: Never punish or discipline children. Normal life provides enough consequences, no additional consequences are needed.
Conclusion: Punishment has been proven to be ineffective at teaching children a new behavior. Children feel punished merely from a parent's disapproval—nothing more is necessary. An effective "punishment" is making a child stop playing in order to explain why it's not OK to hit or take another kid's toy. Frequently, merely calmly pointing out what the problem is to the child can make a child feel bad enough to stop the bad behavior and/or make restitution. Encouraging a distraught child to take a time-out is good advice for anyone having emotional trouble and isn't really a punishment.
Current belief: Misbehavior is due to a poorly disciplined child.
Dakota theory: Misbehavior is due to a poorly designed environment.
Conclusion: A toddler, set down in front of a coffee table with a lot of breakable glassware on the table will, inevitably, drop and break something. This is not bad behavior. Don't punish the child; move the glassware. It is more likely that children will hang up their clothes on pegs than on hangers. A yard with two swings and three kids creates ongoing strife. Often a child's "bad" behavior is due to normal child-like behavior in an environment that is designed for normal adult behavior. The easiest way to have a well-behaved child is to change the environment to suit the child's behavior. For instance, if there is only healthy food in the house, then "food wars" become much less likely.
Current belief: Children demand an adult's attention—and that's bad
Dakota theory: Children demand an adult's attention—and that's OK.
Conclusion: "He's just doing that to get attention!" is a statement some adults make to indict a child's motives and to grant the adult permission to punish the child for bothering the adult. But, attention from an adult is essential sustenance for a child's emotional well-being. Once a child receives an adequate amount of attention, they are full and will go off and play, only to return later for another helping of attention. If we say with scorn of a child who's crying, "he's just crying because he's hungry, I'm going to spank him" it sounds cruel. "He's just doing it to get attention," should sound equally heartless.
Current belief: A child's chronic behavior problems can best be dealt with through psychoactive medication.
Dakota theory: A child's chronic behavior problems can best be dealt with through counseling and behaviorist reinforcement/extinguishing techniques.
Conclusion: Psychoactive drugs have immediate side-effects and long-term physiological consequences. Changing a child's chronic behavior problem without drugs is vastly more time consuming, but results in a more emotionally healthy child.
Current belief: A child might become emotionally crippled from spending too much time with a parent (or parents).
Dakota theory: strong family connections help create an emotionally healthy child.
Conclusion: Studies of poverty, mental illness and crime consistently show that parents who physically or emotionally abandon their children create the pathology that leads to dysfunctional adults. On the other hand, outstanding and high-performing athletes typically have at least one engaged and supportive parent. There is not a bell curve here; it's linear; the stronger the family connections, the more emotionally stable the children are as adults.
Current belief: Children should be kept protected and secluded from real-world experiences. They should live in a separate world called "childhood" until they are completed with their schooling and are able to enter the adult world.
Dakota theory: Children are part of the world. It is healthier for children and the world for children to be included in almost all aspects of the adult world.
Conclusion: Children in their early teens want to distinguish themselves from younger children; they want to act like grown-ups. Mainstream culture allows few opportunities to show their maturity, so these young teens turn to bed behavior, smoking, drinking, doing drugs, swearing and having sex as ways to show their "maturity." However, teens who have the ability to take on real responsibility, like, for instance having a part-time paying job demonstrate their adult-ness through taking on these healthier parts of being a grown up. Throughout their teen years, teenagers should have the opportunity to do part-time, intern, and volunteer work to explore their interests. This serves several useful functions; it keeps teens busy, it allows teens to develop maturity and responsibility, and it gives teens a wide range of real-life experiences which should help prevent the all-too-frequent situation where a young adult goes into debt to pursue a degree only to discover after graduation that they hate the work that they have spent years training for.
Give your child a utopian childhood in just 10 easy steps:
1) Enjoy the company of your children. (That's really the main one, since so many parents don't really enjoy the company of their children, and the children know that, so they misbehave. No child-rearing theory can overcome parents who don't like their kids.)
2) Accept every request as legitimate. (default to yes, rather than default to no).
3) Don't punish. Don't discipline. But, rather, explain.
4) No sarcasm. Don't laugh at kids.
5) Learn what your kids like.
6) Laugh at kids' jokes, listen to their stories.
7) Try to understand their emotions. Have empathy.
9) Talk to the kids about the adult world. Encourage discussion. Explain values through storytelling using real examples. Let them know fairly often what you think is right and wrong.
10) Share whatever you are passionate about with your children. Expect them to be interested in your life.

I co-moderate a large diverse facebook group on intentional communities. Recently someone posted:
Gossip gets embellished as it travels. Things heard second hand should be verified with the speaker. Beware words taken out of context, even if the context is the room next door. Good communities practice all that.
While this is true as far as it goes, it misses the tremendous complexity around the issue of gossip and how important it is to both the culture and success of a community venture.
What is gossip? It is certainly more than an opinion expressed about someone who is not in the room. "Trump is a misogynist racist," isn't gossip, unless you are close to him. It is just an opinion. "Cindy is gifted at fixing cars," almost certainly does not qualify either, as most people think gossip is a negative opinion.
"Paxus is a poor driver." What if this is something I have said myself and you are simply repeating it? Is it gossip if the target is the source?
Let me propose a harsher definition: Gossip is a critical judgment shared about a person or group, often in conspiratorial or secretive tones, while not directly communicating with the subject of the gossip.
Using this definition one might reasonably be concerned that gossip would have an acidic effect on the fabric of the community. One of the common anti-gossip norms that exist in the communes is if you hear something critical about someone you could ask, "Have you told this to them?" This is the antidote to gossip; being transparent with the subject of the rumor.
Back in the 80s, as I was just becoming aware of community living, when I was making a critical comment about gossip, my dear friend and mentor Crystal replied "Gossip is the fabric of the community," and it took me a couple of decades to understand what he was talking about.
Even when using the negative it turns out gossip is important for a community to be healthy. Members need to confide in confidants about their frustration with others in the community. Ideally, this is less about spreading rumors and more about seeking advice. "How do I deal with this headachy circumstance?" or "Do you understand their motivations for this strange behavior?" or "I was so upset and they were clueless, what is really happening here?"
In the best light, gossip is the flow of self-critical and self-correcting messages which members share in the lead up to actually addressing the problems. [Where the "self" here is the larger collective one, rather than the individual personal one.] You talk about things which are on your mind with the people who you live with and they help you reflect back on what you should do about it. Recognizing that if you are being critical of another member of your community, you are obligated to get back to them with your concern.
In this way, gossip within a community is different from what happens in the mainstream. If I am being critical or concerned about another member, I have a larger obligation to do something about it than I do if it is a co-worker or random stranger. If you have a substance abuse problem and we live collectively, not only can it blow back on me in a problematic way, but I have made some level of commitment to take care of you. If we are part of the same intentional community and I am worried about your mental health, I can't casually gripe about it to another member, we have to be considering what our course of action is regarding this problem. Even less dramatic problems other members are experiencing a poor choice of romantic partners or headache with a boss are much more shared in a community setting than when living independently. Gossip in community has more obligation to it.
It is worth pointing out that Twin Oaks does not embrace this culture. In my large commune, if you don't want to deal with someone you can completely shut down communication with them. This is terrible for clearing gossip but might make it possible for some people who really do not see eye to eye to be able to live together. And because the community is so large these estranged members (including me) just try to avoid each other.
It is worth pointing out that when ex-Oakers founded Acorn with financial assistance from Twin Oaks, this was one of the most important things they wanted to do differently. Acorn (and many other communes) have a communication covenant which makes it the community's business when members are failing to communicate. When you are designing communities one of the thorniest issues is when do you give power to the collective over the individual members. And gossip is one of the few places you should seriously consider it.

from the East Wind blog,
Winter is ambling along here in the heart of the Ozarks. The days are growing longer and spirits are rising. As an Erie, PA native it has been wonderful to see my first serious snowfall at East Wind in the three winters I've lived here. The weather this winter has been kind to a northerner: plenty of freezing cold with a sprinkling of sunny sixty degree plus days. The farm is busy with a number of projects, including butchering season and the building of our new shower house.
Fran, the Foopin manager, starting in on a pig quarter
Foopin, the dedicated food processing room, has been bustling with the butchering of several pigs, cows, and deer (along with all the year round dairy processing, of course). East Wind's freezers are filling up with tenderloins, bacon, ribs, hams, beef, and a variety of tasty sausages. If you have no experience and want to learn about butchering, this is the place and time to do it!
Liesel and Mardock beginning on a deer they hunted as Indo and Roxy discuss mammal anatomy.
Just north of Foopin, garden manager Andrea took advantage of a nice warm day to harvest spinach. The garden is largely dormant at this time of year, but there are cold hardy greens- spinach and kale. The garlic, planted late fall, is slumbering under the snow and mulch waiting for spring growth. Riding on the success of last year's experiment, onion starts in the hoophouse will be transplanted to the main garden in spring.
Andrea harvesting spinach. The new shower house, under construction, is in the background.
Construction on the shower house began in late summer with Brandon leading up the demolition of the old site, hooking up water and electric, putting up all walls, windows, doors, insulation, and the roof. The summer crew worked incredibly efficiently to get the structure solid and weatherproof. Beckie is heading up the completion of the project. The siding is nearly finished and there is much to do in the interior. Below you can find a short timelapse (my first dabbling) that was taken during August with the summer crew (it looks best in 720p!).
New member Max and Richard nailing in a board.
Of course, there is plenty of time for recreation in the winter time as well. This past week, a group of about ten communards hiked out to visit the 'Ice Pillar.' The pillar is located up a tributary valley to Lick Creek and only forms under certain conditions.
A pillar was indeed formed! A great way to spend part of an afternoon.
It has been a long time since my last written post. So long that a couple people were getting worried about me (shout out to MoonRaven growing the communal spirit in NYC)! Holiday traveling and dealing with the business left me with little spare time these past couple months. Soon I will have more time to jump back in the blog saddle and get back to at least once a month posts. I am SUPER interested in what YOU are curious about living at East Wind. Please feel free to ask questions and give feedback in the comments! I am constantly looking for blog inspiration. Until next time, here are the dairy cows in the orchard:
Three generations: grandmother Marmalade to the far right, mother Jackie Brown to the left, and daughter Mary Jane up front.

I found a book in the library called The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni. It was focused on business executive teams, but I found a lot of it applicable to communities. His five dysfunctions were Absence of Trust, Fear of Conflict, Lack of Commitment, Avoidance of Accountability, and Inattention to Results. To put it in positive language, I would say that in creating a team or a community you need to build trust, be willing to disagree, be able to make commitments, and also be held accountable, before you can achieve results.
A friend of mine pointed out that every group, including communities, has to deal with power dynamics. It may be especially true in the commune world.
I have written about how a new community with an aggressive, dominant man at the core will often fail to grow. In December, with the MeToo movement in the news, we published a series of articles about how communes and communities need to deal with the problem of abusive men among us. While sexual abuse and harassment are the worst examples and have been what has been featured in the media, there is also a strong problem of men (generally white men) dominating discussions, and often ignoring or disregarding the contributions of women and people of color–or, worse yet, claiming those contributions and taking credit for them. (Full disclosure, I am a white man.)
If we want to build diverse, inclusive communities, we need to deal with these dynamics. We need to deal with anyone dominating conversations, and ignoring or disregarding the contributions of others. While white men are the prime offenders, we need to call out anyone with these behaviors. And it's not just women and people of color who get trampled on, but queerfolk, people with disabilities, and working class and poor people. In fact, the whole community is often being trampled on.
To return to what I began with, when you have a person or a few people dominating in a community, it's impossible to build real trust. People become afraid to disagree with these folks and have no desire to give real commitments to the community. Accountability is at least difficult, if not impossible, under these circumstances, and what results happen are usually not what the group wants.
Patrick Lencioni claims that what gets in the way of teams achieving results is a focus on people's status and ego. Well functioning teams do not have stars; they have a group of people willing to listen to each other and work together. If that's true in the business world, how much more so with communes. Having dominating people makes true community impossible.
Changing all this is not easy. If you are dealing with strong people, you will probably need a cohesive group to confront them. The more the group can be clear about what it wants and needs, the better the chances of getting it. And that goes back to the need to build trust among this group.
It's difficult work, but if our communes are going to be truly egalitarian, it's work that needs to be done.
from Communities magazine, Winter issue #177
The first kibbutz was established over 100 years ago, and over the following century, a network of almost 300 full income-sharing agricultural communes was established all over Israel. The plan was based on anarchist principles, whereby this federation of communities would coalesce into a whole cooperative society, without centralized government or borders.
Fast forward to the year 2017. The rural kibbutz communities are in retreat, there's a strong central government and, albeit for very different reasons, the country has no clear borders.
However, there are those who have taken up the mantle of taking responsibility for shaping the society, young people who are establishing hundreds of urban communes that, both individually and as movements, are affecting change in the inner cities—communes of educators who are working against violence, racism, homophobia, and poverty.
I am a member of Kibbutz Mishol, one of the many intentional communities that have been established over the past 20 years. We are 130 people, all living under one roof, making decisions together, bringing our children up together, sharing all of our income, 10 cars, our living spaces, and a handful of dogs, cats, and chinchillas.
Our kibbutz is in the city; in fact, we are situated in one of the most deprived neighbourhoods in the country—and it's a choice. We've made this choice to work together with our partners in the local municipality, and together with our partners who live in this city, to shape the wider community for the benefit of all of its citizens—Jews, Arabs, those from the former Soviet Union, from Ethiopia, asylum seekers, religious, secular, left, and right.
We have established a nonprofit organization through which we run all of our educational projects. For example, we run a local public elementary school, non-formal education in after-school centres, a youth movement, a coexistence project, and educational tours to Poland. In addition, we have teams of people working together taking responsibility over the inner functioning of our community—looking after our cars, our building, our children, our finances, our learning, our relationships, and our culture.
It's a healthy tension in our lives: to what extent are we focused on the internal—living together and improving our relationships, creating a community making decisions by consensus, challenging societal norms when it comes to gender roles, understanding the different needs and different abilities of our members—and to what extent on the external—our interactions and impact on the surrounding society? Do we exist for ourselves, as a lifestyle choice, or is our aim to use community as a vehicle for changing the world around us?
The kibbutz-building enterprise started as a way of taking responsibility over the needs of a developing society and a developing economy—agriculture, creating towns and villages, defending the borders, building a public health system, a nationwide union, newspapers, etc., etc. Today the needs of the country can be found in the inner cities, draining the social swamps of society, rather than the physical mosquito=infested swamps of the early 20th century backwaters of the Ottoman Empire.
These urban communes, largely situated in the geographical and economic peripheries of Israel, springing up like mushrooms after the rain, are a model of how an alternative society can be built within the existing capitalist society—not as isolated independent communities, but as a network of communities which together offer an example of how society can be structured in a more just and equitable way.
Having previously been living communally for 18 years in the North of Israel, I've now spent the last 18 months living in the American suburbs of Rockville, Maryland. It's a surprisingly easy adjustment to make—two adults and two young children living in a faceless apartment block with pool, fitness center, and Amazon deliveries 24/7.
I have been active on the international communal scene for many years—I am a board member of the ICSA (International Communal Studies Association) and have attended three of their international conferences.
In addition, I have been general secretary of the Intentional Communities Desk (formerly known as the International Communes Desk) and was editor of their magazine C.A.L.L. for 15 years.
I've visited communities in different places in the world and so upon coming to the US it was important for me to connect to what is going on here. Here is the list of communities I have visited on the East Coast, several within a few miles of where I have been living.

The Labour Courts Act 7036, which came into effect on 25 October 2017, introduced a number of changes (eg, mandatory mediation) and amended the appeal procedure for labour disputes. Previously, parties were entitled to appeal labour court decisions within eight days from the final decision being issued. However, the eight-day appeal period was criticised by scholars for not being in line with the Procedural Code, under which the appeal period starts from the service of the reasoned judgment.
Under the Labour Courts Act, appeal procedures set out under the Procedural Code are also applied
to judgments rendered by the labour courts. As a result, parties can now appeal decisions before the regional appeal courts within two weeks from the notification of a reasoned judgment.
The act also introduces an additional amendment and leaves some types of judgment outside the scope of Supreme Court appeals. Accordingly, parties can apply only to a regional court of appeal,
which will issue a final decision, for judgments rendered in:
- reinstatement claims;
- actions filed for the cancellation of an employee disciplinary measure according to workplace regulations or a collective bargaining agreement;
- actions filed in relation to the unjust termination of union representatives by employers;
- disputes arising from the requirement that a workplace should have collective bargaining agreements;
- disputes arising from the interpretation of an effective collective bargaining agreement; and
- actions filed to determine the lawfulness of a strike or lockout.
The Procedural Code's financial threshold for appeals before the Supreme Court still applies for labour cases regardless of their subject matter. On this basis, all labour cases with a monetary value of less than TRY47,530 (approximately €8,600) will be resolved by the regional courts of appeal if
As well as bringing the procedural rules that govern labour cases into line with the Procedural Code, the legislature hopes to shorten the duration of actions which, by their nature, should be resolved as quickly as possible. Although it is still questionable whether these amendments will produce the anticipated returns in terms of reaching the desired duration for trial processes, they mark an important attempt to limit the two-phase appeal stage for certain cases given the Supreme Court's
heavy workload.

Teens Against
Drugs and Alcohol
Teens Against Drugs and Alcohol (T.A.D.A.) is a unique educational program for teenagers. Over the years, T.A.D.A. has helped young people from all backgrounds become more responsible citizens.
We believe that by organizing a teenager's free time and keeping them busy and involved with positive activities, they won't have time for negatives i.e...drugs, alcohol and gangs.
T.A.D.A. is not a tax funded program. We are a youth program that is totally self supporting. Our trips and activities are funded totally by local neighborhood house-to-house fundraisers of our candy, cookies and gift items.
We believe that a drug free nation is possible and that the ideal place to start is with our youth...THE FUTURE LEADERS OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY.

I've been following The Modest Bride since I first started lifeofmyheart, and the lovely Saltanat (Founder and Editor of The Modest Bride) was one of the first people to reach out to me about my lettering prints – something I feel so grateful for – and so I am honored to be able to interview her for today's Spotlight.
It has been wonderful to witness the growth of The Modest Bride and to see the new direction it is taking with their latest editorials (such as this stunning one in Style)!
The Modest Bride is an amazingly beautiful blog filled with inspiration for modest bridal fashion, minimalist and eco-conscious weddings, and gorgeous styling.
Welcome, Saltanat 🙂
– Marryam x
Where are you located?
I am located in Sydney, Australia.
In one sentence, describe your motivation in life:
Motivation in life! In one sentence! That's just epic.
Can I change this to motivation in your work?
My motivation is to present a professional, undeniably beautiful dimension of modesty that is unapologetically informed by Islamic ideals.
Tell us the story of yourself and your blog, and how you got started with The Modest Bride.
I grew up in pretty little Adelaide (South Australia), and as a girl was typically obsessed with Disney princesses and their beautiful, sparkling, sweeping gowns. As a university student (studying International studies) I loved the idea of designing, or of becoming a florist, but I couldn't draw, and I was entrenched in the idea of getting a 'proper' job. Well, I eventually became a high school English teacher, and somewhere in my third year of teaching, marriage and one baby later, I found the need for a creative outlet and a job that I could do from home.
And so one day after spending way too much time on Pinterest I just started an Instagram account called 'The Modest Bride'. I felt that there were no sources of inspiration for women who valued modesty and didn't want to compromise this value on their wedding day. When I myself got married in 2009 (at 21 years old!) there really were no dresses with sleeves. Everything was strapless. The only option for covering was to wear a bolero on top of a strapless gown. Or so I thought. Then Kate Middleton wore a dress with lace sleeves and the bridal world followed suit. Suddenly there was a proliferation of modest options, but they didn't seem to be reaching the brides who would value them. I saw a unique gap in the market, and the rest is history!
So my blog is a source of inspiration for brides who try to maintain a sense of modesty on their wedding day – but I wanted to extend and expand the definition of modesty beyond simply how one would dress. I wanted to explore the idea that modesty should be a defining consideration in every choice that we make in planning a wedding- from the flowers, to invitations, to the type of wedding we have. The idea was to promote modesty as the opposite of the extravagance that is traditionally associated with weddings and to show that a simple, unique, eco-conscious wedding could be just as beautiful and much more meaningful.
What is one of your favourite parts of running your blog and why?
Having the opportunity to meet with other creatives in the industry has been my favourite part of running the blog. I wouldn't have had the opportunity to make connections with such talented, kind people if it hadn't been for the blog.
What has been the highlight or 'I can't believe this!' moment so far on your blogging journey?
Honestly, when I see that some major designer is following me on Instagram lol. Also, doing the photoshoots for our first Editorials were just incredible. They were a culmination of lots of hard work, stress, self doubt, things not going to plan, 4am runs to the flower market, connecting with such talented people in the industry, and ultimately, seeing my vision come to life. The adrenaline rush when putting it together and the learning curve it places you on is actually quite addictive.
How does your faith affect your approach to The Modest Bride?
My faith dictates everything that I do on the blog. I try my very best to consider, reconsider, critique and rethink the content that I put on the blog and whether it is in line with the precepts of my faith. There are many many times where I fail, or make mistakes, but it's a process of learning, growth and development. Sometimes, because the standard of modesty and aesthetic I like is simply not out there, many images I post are just inspirational. That's why the editorials are so important to me- they are my opportunity to show what my vision of a 'modest bride' really is. Although the blog is not aimed exclusively at a Muslim audience, it is also unapologetically informed and inspired by an Islamic notion of modesty.
What/where/who inspires you?
I love vintage weddings. I love the nostalgia of the gowns. The beauty in their simplicity and their grandeur and their uniqueness. Many modern designers inspire me such as Valentino (of course!), Giambattista Valli, Alexander McQueen, The Row… Beyond that, I'm entirely inspired by a sense of romanticism that exists in the world around us- in rolling green hills, golden wheat fields, shadows of ancient trees, awe-inspiring arches of wisteria… I prefer a natural aesthetic as opposed to an overly staged look.
How do you handle the inevitable creative block?
I feel like I've hit a creative block right now if I'm honest. With social media, blogs, tumblr and Pinterest, we are absolutely inundated with images. I feel like I've actually become numb to what I see when I scroll through my feed. My instagram images are very carefully curated and I only post what I absolutely love, what makes me feel something. Lately I haven't been emotionally stirred… My way of dealing with this is to step away from it all for a time. Spend some time staring at blank walls to rest my eyes, playing with my daughters, spending time in nature, at a beach, a park, to literally detox myself of the electronic world and get back in touch with the 'real' world.
What 2 pieces of advice, based on your own experience, would you give to a fellow entrepreneur or blogger starting out?
Don't compromise on your core values because every time you do, it chips away at your soul, at your Self.
If you are a blogger, keep your work professional by only using high resolution, beautifully styled images.
Where would you love to see The Modest Bride in 5 years time?
I want The Modest Bride to have a respected status in the fashion bridal world. But I also want it to be an empowering source for women who struggle in their modesty by creating beautiful images of real women in hijab that we just don't see at the moment.

This is the first in a series of overspeed warm up skating drills. The players split into two lines in opposite corners of the rink. Two or three players can go at each time. Typically two is better unless you have a lot of skaters. The objective of this drill is to keep the feet moving as fast as possible around the circles. Make sure players are not sacrificing good cross-over/cross-under technique for quicker feet. In the middle of the ice the players will need to keep their head up because they may intersect with players comign from the other line.

When you're running a calculation, it can be overwhelming providing the proper information in the correct field. Below we will cover what each field means and what you should input to get an accurate calculation in the hourly calculator.
The first bit of information to fill in is the Calculation Date and State. The date will auto-fill to the current day, make sure that this is the date you want your calculation. Also make sure to choose the appropriate state.
Next, you have the Rate Information. Fill in the Pay Rate with your hourly rate and the number of hours worked under "Hours 1." If you need to add more rate information, for example, to add any overtime pay, just click the green plus button and proceed to enter the data.
The General and Federal Information sections follow. In this section, your gross pay automatically calculates from the rate information you entered above. Your gross pay is all the money you have made while working at your job, either per pay period or annually. You can choose which option in the next field by clicking the section and selecting an option from the drop-down bar. The next field, gross pay YTD, is your total pay received within the year. This field is optional, but recommended for the most accurate calculation. Next, you have pay frequency. This field can be filled in by asking yourself the question, "how often do I get paid?" You can choose any option, from daily to quarterly payment. The IRS determines your filing status, federal allowances, and additional withholding.
Lastly, you have the option to choose if your withholding is exempt from certain taxes such as FICA and Medicare. These are adjustable by clicking the corresponding sliders. "Round Federal Withholding" refers to rounding your federal tax to the nearest dollar instead of the nearest penny. Rounding is not required, but is permitted by federal law. In some cases, public employees are exempt from Federal, FICA and/or Medicare taxes. To find out if you are exempt from these taxes, consult your tax adviser. To be safe, we suggest you keep the sliders unchecked for Federal, FICA, and Medicare.
The next section is State and Local Information. This section will adjust depending on which state you have selected. Often, your state information will mirror your federal settings, but occasionally you'll have additional fields to fill out for state and local withholding.
Lastly, you have Voluntary Deductions and Print Options. If you have a deduction set loaded, you can implement the deduction set in this section. "Print Options" allows you to choose if you would like to print, and if so, decide where you would like the check information.
Now that you have accurately filled in the calculator fields you can click "Calculate", and your results will follow.

With The Book of Dust announced (fairly) recently for release in October, I was reminded of the trilogy I never finished, and was driven back to its pages to rediscover what I missed the last time. Northern Lights was read to me when I was younger – why it was only book one and not the rest of His Dark Materials, I do not know – but I decided it was high time that I revisited the tale, and go the whole hog this time. Now you may have seen the film adaptation The Golden Compass, but whatever your opinions of that, stick with me here, because the book has plenty more to offer.
Before starting Northern Lights, I remembered most of the main beats of the story from being familiar with the film version. As a 10-year-old, I had no quarrel with The Golden Compass. Now though, revisiting Pullman's world as it was originally intended, it's much easier to see the glaring holes left by the filmmakers.

In the last few weeks, one of our trail cams (positioned in the lower back garden) has been capturing a neighbor's cat. This cat enjoys exploring nocturnally – a risky business when you live in an area with many large predators and in the clip below something clearly spooks it. We don't know what it was, but telltale eye-shine is briefly visible.
Felis catus and something lurking in the dark.

INSOMNIA 2011-2013 This series explores the idea of insomnia as metaphorical scene where biological interruption of nocturnal sleep ritual gives way to a new territory of confluences. The moment in which consciousness and unconsciousness meet, where reality and fiction blur boundaries and coexist in the mind in a recreation of two parallel worlds that conform our identity. The transition between what we appear to be and our true self, which becomes visible in privacy. The reality of each person, sometimes perturbing, takes possession of his soul in the gloom of night. Awake souls who become inhabitants of a space-time do not usually frequent. Where reminiscences of the past are mixed with frustrations, imaginary ghosts and appellants fears head toward us to a future of changing contours. People trapped in unwanted lives, people who maybe try to flee from himself, they definitively abandon themselves or who roam aimlessly through unconcrete spaces in a sort of scenery of fragilities. Images that buil a dreamlike world, disturbing. Fragments of life staged at night, in the complicity of night lights of the city or in the apparent calm of anonymous rooms.

Article by Dave Groscup, IART/Med-Ex HIT Trainer
The Biceps are the most trained muscle group and are the standard when it comes to demonstrating muscular development. Just ask any bodybuilder to show you their muscle and they will no doubt flex their arm in a Biceps pose. New weight training enthusiasts spend hours performing endless sets and reps to try and build arms like their favorite bodybuilding champion. Unfortunately they are severely overtraining, which is going to give them poor results, if any.
The arm muscles receive plenty of stimulation from their involvement in back, chest and shoulder training which needs to be taken into consideration to avoid excessive training. The key is to determine the proper amount of exercise sets/reps to use for maximum muscle growth. There are different training protocols; I favor the HIT, High Intensity protocol. This is the most efficient method for building arms, or any muscle group, fast.
Which exercises are best? I recommend a combination of isolation, or single joint, and compound, or multi-joint exercises. Select exercises that will focus efforts on different areas of your arm muscles. For Triceps, do overhead extension movements, short range exercises like kickbacks and pressing movements like close-grip bench presses.
Biceps benefit from training them with concentration curls, barbell curls, machine curls, preacher curls and various rope handle curls. Some great compound exercises are palms-facing pull-downs and palms-forward barbell rows.
The Too Easy Ez-Curl
The Biceps are responsible for two important functions, bringing the forearm up to the shoulder and pronating the wrist. Pronation is the action of bringing your pinky finger out to your shoulder while curling. The ez-curl bar is a popular bar to use for curling. The problem with this bar is elimination of wrist pronation, which short-circuits your Biceps training results. Use an ez-curl bar for Triceps training as it eases stress on the wrist but avoid it for Biceps training.
My training routines require intense effort because each set is carried to muscular failure and some of them past this level using HIT variables like forced reps, negatives and the like.
Weight Selection
Generally, the heavier the weight used in an exercise the greater the muscle growth. If poor form is used to allow heavier weights, there is a much greater chance of injury because of the increased pressure on the joints and ligaments. A better method of weight selection is to use a resistance that allows the desired rep count or time under tension using perfect form. Concentrate the weight on the muscle by focusing on training the muscle and not on lifting the weight. Remember , we are bodybuilding and not weight lifting. In the following routines all sets should end at the point where no additional reps can be completed.
Some great routines to build your arm muscles fast with HIT are:
Routine #1
- Machine Curls-1×10 reps plus 4 forced reps
- Palms-facing Pull-downs-1×12 reps plus 6 static holds at several different locations in the exercise
Routine #2
- Incline Dumbbell Curls-1×10 reps plus 4 negative-only reps
- Use a partner to lift the dumbbells so you can lower them, only at the end of the set.
- Palms-facing Bent-over Barbell Rows-1×8 reps Rest-Pause Style
Use a weight that allows a 1RM and do a series of 8 single, max reps with a 10-second rest in between.
Benefits of Each of the HIT Variables
- Forced Reps- These are great for extending a set past the point of muscular failure. By completing reps with the assistance of a partner after hitting failure, you thoroughly exhaust the muscle.
- Negative-only Reps- Negatives allow you to use weight 40% heavier than during typical sets. Negatives cause greater micro-damage to a muscle, which leads to greater strength and size increase.
- Rest-Pause Reps- This technique was designed to allow the use of maximum poundages while avoiding the buildup of lactic acid in the muscle, which would lead to premature ending of the set.
- Static Holds- These are great for generating a deep contraction in the muscle and maximizing the recruitment of muscle fibers. Since there is little movement, maximum weights can be used to tax the muscle. Experiment with different hold times such as 10, 15 and 20 seconds.
Give these routines a try and you'll experience new strength and muscle growth if enough effort is put forth.

I'm not even going to talk about my recent runs. It's pathetic. Ridiculous. Sad. Gets me depressed if I dwell on it.
Last winter, I was pregnant, and NOT waking up early for runs. Actually, not running at all. The winter before that (so 2009-10), we moved to Florida in January. Before we moved, Lookout was having a serious cold snap. In 2 of my last runs before we moved, it was 18 degrees and 11 degrees. So to run in Florida's cold snap of temps in the 20's made it feel like home. People thought I was crazy and I felt tough. 1 time an old woman actual YELLED at me to wear more clothes.
Fast forward to now.
I've been a Floridian for almost 2 years, and my blood is thinning. I'm adapting. I feel wimpy. This week has been our 1st taste of cold. By cold, I mean temps between 29-40. This is where I feel I need to make rules – rules of what to wear based on the temps. I'm ok adapting a bit, knowing that I'll adapt again in the next place we live, but I do NOT want to become 1 of those people that is wearing tights, long sleeves, and gloves when it is 50 degrees. No lie. People do that here.
