Weightlifting / Powerlifting for sport performance
Is a strength sport that consists of three attempts at maximal weight on three lifts:
- Squat,
- Bench press,
- And Deadlift.
As in the sport of Olympic weightlifting, it involves lifting weights in three attempts.
Powerlifting evolved from a sport known as "odd lifts", which followed the same three-attempt format but used a wider variety of events, akin to strongman competition. Eventually odd lifts became standardized to the current three.
Olympic weightlifting
Also called Olympic-style weightlifting, or weightlifting, is an athletic discipline in the modern Olympic programs in which participants attempt a maximum-weight single lift of a barbell loaded with weight plates.
In comparison with other strength sports, which test limit strength (with or without lifting aids), Olympic weightlifting tests aspects of human ballistic limits (explosive strength) and are therefore executed faster—and with more mobility and a greater range of motion during their execution – than other lifts. Properly executed, the snatch and the clean and jerk are both dynamic and explosive while appearing graceful, especially when viewed from a recording at a slowed speed.
As a sport
The two competition lifts in order are the
- Snatch and the
- clean and jerk.
Each weightlifter receives three attempts in each, and the combined total of the highest two successful lifts determines the overall result within a bodyweight category.
Bodyweight categories are different for women and men. A lifter who fails to complete at least one successful snatch and one successful clean and jerk also fails to total, and therefore receives an "incomplete" entry for the competition. The clean and press was once a competition lift, but was discontinued due to difficulties in judging proper form.
The lifts and their components are commonly used by elite athletes in other sports to train for both explosive and functional strength.

When Harry Roberts found himself struggling to put the communal appeal of Starbucks into words, he shared his trouble with his wife, who soon stumbled across the solution in a bookstore: an out-of-print book called The Great Good Place, by a sociology professor named Ray Oldenburg. In his book, Oldenburg describes America's need for the neutral, safe, public gathering spots that had gradually disappeared; he calls this nexus the "third place," with home and work being places one and two. His words were eerily prescient — he even pointed out that third places generally revolve around beverages, like with tea-houses and pubs. As Schultz might have said, the synergy was too good to be true. The company now had its philanthropic rallying cry: it wasn't a coffee company, but a third place bringing people together through the social glue of coffee. And who could disagree? Well, Ray Oldenburg, for one. Now retired, Oldenburg is grateful for the renewed attention that Starbucks brought to his third-place idea, but he remains displeased that the company co-opted his concept.
A sparkling Starbucks store can also make a historically bleak place seem that much more livable — to the point where real estate agents in Hyde Park, on Chicago's South Side, include the distance to a new Starbucks in their home listings. Arthur Rubinfeld boasted to me of having received stacks of letters from thankful homeowners who credit a nearby Starbucks with boosting long-stagnant property values. Even Ray Oldenburg, the father of the "third place" idea who later refused to endorse the chain, offered surprising praise for Starbucks's ability to help revitalize a depressed town. "To their credit, they brought Naperville [Illinois] back to life single-handedly, and now it's one of the five most livable cities in the country," he said. One might ask if the company is really causing all of this, or if Starbucks is just smart enough to piggyback onto a community at the right time.

As teenagers, they had no safe place to hang out except shopping malls. Now that they are older, some find that bars are too noisy and raucous and threatening for companionship. So they hang out in cafés and coffee bars. The music is quiet enough to allow conversation. The places are well-lit. No one is carded, and no one is drunk.4 Schultz makes much of the "Third Place," a term coined by the sociologist Ray Oldenburg to describe the non-home, non-work environment that had once been the forum for public life but that had almost disappeared under the postwar regime of highly regimented schedules, commuter life, and television. This had clearly been the role of the old coffeehouses in Europe and had been present in America in the form of neighborhood gathering places such as bars and coffee shops. Disintegration of these spaces under the postwar regime was responsible, argues Oldenburg, for the anomie rampant in modern industrial civilization.

The cultural diversity those subcultures create is valuable not just because it makes urban life less boring. The value also lies in the unlikely migrations that happen between the different clusters. A world where a diverse mix of distinct professions and passions overlap is a world where exaptations thrive. Those shared environments often take the form of a real-world public space, what the sociologist Ray Oldenburg famously called the "third place," a connective environment distinct from the more insular world of home or office. The eighteenth-century English coffeehouse fertilized countless Enlightenment-era innovations; everything from the science of electricity, to the insurance industry, to democracy itself. Freud maintained a celebrated salon Wednesday nights at 19 Berggasse in Vienna, where physicians, philosophers, and scientists gathered to help shape the emerging field of psychoanalysis.
For more on urban subcultures, see Claude Fischer's essays "Toward a Subcultural Theory of Urbanism" and "The Subcultural Theory of Urbanism: A Twentieth-Year Assessment." Jane Jacobs's Death and Life of Great American Cities and The Economy of Cities contain many similar insights about the capacity of big cities to cultivate small clusters of interests. (Chris Anderson discusses this in the context of his "long tail" theory in The Long Tail.) For more on the concept of the "Third Place," see Ray Oldenburg's The Great Good Place. For more on the innovations of the British coffeehouse, see Brian Cowan's Social Life of Coffee, Tom Standage's History of the World in Six Glasses, and my Invention of Air. Freud's Vienna salon is described in the context of innovation in Howard Gardner's Creating Minds. Martin Ruef's research appears in his essay "Strong Ties, Weak Ties and Islands," originally published in Industrial and Corporate Change.

But given the sobering impact of decreasing intimate contact on public health, among other things, it seems that it's time for a slight course correction. Principle 1 Live in a community where you know and talk to your neighbors. Making Tradeoffs The digital revolution, like the automotive revolution that preceded it, has enhanced society in countless ways. But it has also had unintended consequences. Many of the hangouts where people used to meet (which sociologist Ray Oldenburg called third places and techies call meatspaces) are disappearing.8 And given the impact of less social contact on people's health and morale, not to mention on the bottom line, it's no wonder that employers such as Yahoo and Bank of America are calling their remote workers back to the office. It's not that their employees are less productive at home. It's that without the opportunity to bump into colleagues and have real conversations, innovation and social cohesion take a hit.

Will Disney hire extras to play the roles of other suburbanites who can't drive—elderly, disabled, and low-income residents, peeking out from behind living-room curtains? BOWLING ALONE Where can America's stranded nondrivers go, in today's world? There's no colorful cafô down the block, or bowling alley or tavern, where neighbors can "be apart together, and mutually withdraw from the world," in the words of writer Ray Oldenburg.1 Such "great good places" or "third places," that are apart from both home and work environments, are now often illegal—violations of zoning codes. The truth is, the term "community life" is perceived as archaic in a world so dominated by business and government. "We've mutated from citizens to consumers in the last sixty years," says James Kuntsler, the author of The Geography of Nowhere.

Another defense was provided by the voluntary societies that proliferated after midcentury, such as the New York Harmonic Society, which staged concerts featuring the works of Bach, Handel, and Haydn, and the New York Society Library, a subscription library established in 1754 that numbered Robert R. Livingston, Philip Livingston, and William Walton on its membership rolls. Early social libraries were a space apart from both work and home—semiprivate, membership-only institutions that one historian says served as "a place to converse as well as read, to debate publicly as well as study quietly."66 These voluntary societies were "third places," Ray Oldenburg's phrase for "a great variety of public places that host the regular, voluntary, informal and happily anticipated gatherings of individuals beyond the realms of home and work."67 In the eighteenth century, third places validated the sophisticated tastes of their upper-class patrons and preserved their exclusivity by recruiting members through friendship and family networks. Yet the genteel code stressed that the threat of rudeness and coarseness was ever present, and even in some third places the lines between polite and rude society were not always clear.

The grateful charity responded by giving Starbucks its International Humanitarian award. Indeed, Schultz appeared to be a master image builder. As he himself has said, "My story is as much one of perseverance and drive as it is of talent and luck. I willed it to happen. I took my life in my hands, learned from anyone I could, grabbed what opportunity I could, and molded my success step by step." In 1989 the sociologist Ray Oldenburg published The Great, Good Place, a lament over the passing of community meeting places like the old country store or soda fountain. The book contained an entire chapter on coffeehouses, concluding: "The survival of the coffeehouse depends upon its ability to meet present day needs and not those of a romanticized past." Schultz loved the book and adopted Oldenburg's academic term, christening Starbucks as a "third place" beyond home or work, "an extension of people's front porch," where people could gather informally.

Mapping helps them learn about the ideas, attitudes, and opinions that really exist among diverse groups of people, not just "public opinion" or politicians' views of events. By seeking out "third places"—locations where people gather and often end up talking about things that are important to them—journalists can find other voices, hear different stories, and perhaps learn more about people from diverse backgrounds and what they are actually thinking and experiencing.42 According to sociologist Ray Oldenburg, the term third place describes "a great variety of public places that host the regular, voluntary, informal, and happily anticipated gatherings of individuals beyond the realms of home and work."43 If the first place is the home, and the second place is the work setting, then the third place includes churches, community centers, cafes, coffee shops, bookstores, bars, and other spots where people gather informally.

The 21st Century will be about staying in a place worth staying in. —Jim Kunstler The most important task of the urbanist is controlling size. —David Mohney As sociology professor and planning consultant Ray Oldenburg points out in The Great Good Place: Cafes, Coffee Shops, Community Centers, Beauty Parlors, General Stores, Bars, Hangouts, and How They Get You Through the Day, segregation, isolation, compartmentalization, and sterilization seem to be today's guiding principles for community growth and renewal. Desirable experiences occur in places conducive to them, Oldenburg claims, or they do not occur at all.

Then he traveled to some churches to see what the bingo crowd was all about. What he saw was groups of women having a raucous time, drinking, playing, and being social. The experience was totally unlike the bingo games on the Web at the time, primarily single-player affairs that made you refresh your browser each time you wanted a new bingo ball to drop. Kapulka, an avid reader and thinker, was concerned with what's called the Third Place, which Ray Oldenburg, an urban sociologist, so succinctly espoused in his 1989 book, The Great Good Place. Kapulka thought, "You've got the home, work, and this public area where you socialize, a pub, a restaurant, a bingo hall. There's a big difference between sitting in a bar drinking by yourself and sitting at home drinking by yourself, almost like the difference between aloneness and loneliness." For TEN's bingo game, he told executives, "Let's slap on a big chat room so you have fifty people in there and it feels more alive, like a real Third Place."

Instead of building usability labs, they'll go out into the field and write ethnographies. And hopefully, we'll figure out the new principles of social interface design. It's going to be fascinating . . . as fun as user interface design was in the 1980s . . . so stay tuned. sixteen BUILDING COMMUNITIES WITH SOFTWARE Monday, March 3, 2003 In his book, The Great Good Place (Da Capo Press, 1999), social scientist Ray Oldenburg talks about how humans need a third place, besides work and home, to meet with friends, have a beer, discuss the events of the day, and enjoy some human interaction. Coffee shops, bars, hair salons, beer gardens, pool halls, clubs, and other hangouts are as vital as factories, schools, and apartments. But capitalist society has been eroding those third places, and society is left impoverished.

For the first time, people began talking explicitly about the court of "public opinion"; they began to seek "publicity" for their work or ideas, a word that originates with the French publicité. Habermas argued that the political and intellectual revolutions of the eighteenth century had been facilitated by the creation of this new public sphere, largely housed in semipublic gathering places like taverns and pubs. (A few decades after Habermas, the American sociologist Ray Oldenburg would develop a similar thesis in a book called The Great Good Place—coining the now-common expression "the third place" for these venues.) For Habermas, the public sphere had a profoundly egalitarian bias, creating "a kind of social intercourse that, far from presupposing equality of status, disregarded status altogether. [Participants] replaced the celebration of rank with a tact befitting equals."

Annapolis police arrest man with handgun, drug charges
Michael Dennis, 35, charged
A Delaware man is facing handgun and drug charges, Annapolis police said.
Officers were called to the 900 block of Bay Ridge Road at 4 a.m. Sunday on a report of a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot of a closed business.
Officers found Michael Dennis, 35, of Delaware, in the driver's seat with the engine running. He was slumped over the steering wheel, asleep, police said.
Dennis' driving privilege is revoked in Delaware and officers arrested him, police said.
Officers found a loaded handgun under the driver's seat of the vehicle, oxycodone pills, a straw and rolled-up money with powder residue, police said. The handgun was reported stolen in North Carolina, and Dennis had $1,520 in his pants pocket and eight cellphones in his lap when officers found him, police said.
Police said Dennis has two prior felony convictions in Delaware for possession of illegal drugs with intent to distribute, which prohibit him from possessing a handgun. He was charged with eight counts relating to illegal drug and handgun violations and is being held at the Jennifer Road Detention Center on $375,000 bond.

Once the tracking code is active on your site, Personyze is capable of doing everything that is included in your account type, the rest is just a matter of setting up the campaigns.

Thanks for the description on the operation of the fuel pump.
Does the fuel pump arm always maintain contact with the lobe on the cam ?
Is there a blockage in the fuel line between the pump and the carbs ?
Are the carb needle-valves stuck shut ?

Kaiser Wilhelm started it all.
Wilhelm was the hamster Jessica Wells found crossing Broadway during a walk home nearly three years ago. "I had been shoe shopping that day, which was really lucky," said Wells, 30. "So I took the shoes outside and put the box on the sidewalk." Wilhelm walked straight into the box and the New York Hamster House was born. Local shelters do not accept hamsters, inspiring Wells begin taking them in. Click here to learn more about the various animals available at the house.
Run out of her one-bedroom apartment in Inwood, the house currently houses 22 hamsters and other small animals. Cages are neatly lined up against the overflowing bookshelves in the living room. For a room with so many animals living in it, it was surprising quiet on a recent Sunday. This all changes come nightfall; the cacophony of the hamsters squeaking, running on their wheels and shredding cardboard boxes can regularly be heard. "I had to move my DVD player into the bedroom because it got so loud in here," Wells said.
Prior to Kaiser Wilhelm, Wells had never owned or taken care of a hamster before. "A lot of it is trial and error," she said, crediting hamster discussion groups online and comments hamster aficionados post on her blog for much of her knowledge. "I've learned a lot. The good thing is that I don't pretend that I know everything." Wells estimates that she has taken care of more than 400 hamsters since 2005.
click image for slideshow
Currently, New York Hamster House is not officially a nonprofit, though Wells is working to change that. "Right now I'm just a girl with a lot of hamsters," she said, making fundraising difficult. Wells does not charge a fee to adopt, though occasionally families will donate when they take their adoptees home. She estimates she spends $150 to $500 a month on supplies.

But in the case of the Chevrolet El Camino, the unique car/truck hybrid had something for everyone. The El Camino went on sale as a '59 model based of the Impala/Bel Air platform. The body style popularized the term "business in the front, party in the back." In the '60s and '70s, the El Camino was essentially a Chevelle with a bed and was likewise offered in SS high-performance trim, with an engine as big as a 454 ci big-block V-8. A few extremely rare El Caminos were produced with the iconic LS6 engine, with as much as 450 hp.
In its later years, the El Camino transitioned on to General Motors' G-Body platform, shared with the Chevrolet Malibu, Monte Carlo, Buick Regal, and Oldsmobile Cutlass. A companion GMC model was first sold as the Sprint and later as the Caballero.
Prior to its 2009 bankruptcy, plans were in place to import the Holden Maloo ute from Australia as the Pontiac G8 ST, essentially bringing back a modern-day El Camino, but the Pontiac brand was killed off as part of the company's restructuring, and the would-be El Camino revival never came to fruition. With GM's announcement that it's permanently ceasing operations in Australia by 2017, the likelihood of the El Camino ever making a return to the U.S. market remains slim to none. However, GM's unusual car-truck contraption will be fondly remembered for its more than 30-year production run.

A. T. Stewart
Alexander Turney Stewart (1803-1876) came to New York from County Antrim, Ireland in 1820. Three thousand dollars invested in Irish laces brought him enough profit to open a store in 1823 on Broadway. Stewart built New York's first department store by 1846, a marble dry-goods palace that faced City Hall Park. Stewart was a ruthless businessman and by the 1860s, he was considered to be one of the three wealthiest men in America.[1] Stewart purchased the largest brownstone in New York located at 1 West 34th Street. Dr. Samuel P. Townsend, the patent holder for the restorative compound "extract of Sarsaparilla," formerly owned the home. Stewart originally thought he would modify the building but in the end it was completely demolished. Stewart then hired the architect John Kellum (1809–1871) to plan his new 55-room mansion that was completed in 1869. [2]
The A.T. Stewart collection was auctioned off at Chickering Hall on March 23rd, 24th, and 25th, 1887. The sale continued on March 28th at the AAA, by order of Henry Hilton, Esq. and Charles Clinch, Esq., executors of the estate of Mrs. Cornelia M. Stewart. The Stewart sale was one of the AAA's three most famous and record-breaking auctions of private collections along with the George I. Seney sale (1885) and the Mary J. Morgan sale (1886).[3] The Stewart catalogue contained extensive biographical information on artists and lengthy excerpts of period criticism. The gilt-edged red volume, further described as "too large for an ordinary pocket, impossible to hide in a fashionable muff and too expensive to throw away," was considered a token of rank during both preview and auction.[4]
The Stewart mansion was decorated with sculptures, paintings, French furniture, chandeliers, and Oriental carpets.[5] It contained a richly appointed entrance hall with life-size white marble statues, a reception room furnished with blue chintz silk fabric and magnificent paintings including Bourguereau's Shepherdess. The dining room was decorated with elegant frescos by Brigaldi. In the grand picture gallery, Meissonier's 1807 Friedland, dated 1861-1875, took center stage on the northern wall.[6] The painting, considered one of the most important works in the Stewart collection, was purchased directly from the artist in 1876. It was sold at the Stewart auction for $66,000 to Judge Henry Hilton, who bequeathed it to the Metropolitan Museum, where it remains today.
When A. T. Stewart died in 1876 he left behind a very wealthy widow. His estate, estimated between $35 and $60 million, was left entirely to his wife Cornelia, with Judge Henry Hilton, Stewart's personal attorney and trustee, as co-executor. Cornelia Stewart transferred virtually all of her business interests to Hilton for $1 million not realizing that her assets were valued at close to $40 million. Hilton mismanaged the estate and drove Alexander Stewart's business assets into receivership within six years.[7] After the death of Cornelia Stewart in 1886, her home was leased to the Manhattan Club. The Club was unable to afford the building and after a few short years they were forced to vacate the premises. The former Stewart mansion was demolished in 1901. It is now the site of the Empire State Building.[8]
