Use references to reveal insights into job candidates.
Reference checking is an essential step toward minimizing risk in the hiring process. Yet anecdotal evidence suggests that a mere half of U.S. employers ever speak with the references supplied by job candidates. Comprehensive reference checking provides important opportunities not only to learn more about candidates, but also to evangelize your company, impress your candidates, and even develop new business.
How well can you really know a person by talking on the telephone and even meeting face to face? In some cases, not all that well. One recruiter said he and a hiring team recently identified a seemingly exemplary candidate, only to find by checking references that the candidate had a history of sexual harassment–including an active restraining order filed against him by a current colleague. One bad hire has the potential to ruin your company, so it pays to conduct adequate due diligence before selecting a person to join your organization.
The best sources of information, aside from the candidate, are former supervisors, colleagues and direct reports. Your candidate should supply you with detailed information regarding their chosen references including name, title, company, telephone number and relationship to the candidate. Also take advantage of your network by talking to individuals who can supply further insight into the candidate.
However, it is not advisable to do so-called “stealth reference checking” by contacting individuals at the candidate’s current and/or former places of employment. Should the candidate discover this additional check, he will probably perceive this as a lack of trust, and will also be understandably concerned about jeopardizing his professional relationships and even his current job.
These feelings could be difficult to overcome in developing a strong working relationship, should you decide to actually hire the candidate. Besides, “stealth” reference checks seldom produce insights that you can’t gather by adequately interviewing a candidate’s personally selected references.
Some hiring organizations seek only to verify a candidate’s former place(s) of employment. A fraction of companies, concerned about accusations of defamation, cautiously prohibit managers from disseminating information other than dates of employment. In fact, a recruiter is entitled to ask past employers anything not protected by equal protection laws that relates to a candidate’s ability to do a job.
Interviewing a candidate’s references is the most revealing, yet least well-utilized selection practice. Take advantage of this low-cost opportunity to gather information.
Identify what you really want to know about the candidate in order to make a hiring decision. Then, using those goals as a guide, prepare questions framed so they are likely to be answered in detail, and design follow-up questions that encourage each reference to give specifics behind his or her original answers. To get you started, here are a few examples.
When you want to know: Can this candidate do the job?
Ask: Did this candidate meet your expectations in fulfilling her job duties?
This is a great blanket question because it addresses a candidate’s ability to do the same or similar job. Past success or failure is usually predictive of success in the future. This question gets the reference to explain the specifics of a previous position and relate the candidate’s performance to each element.
Drill down by asking about the expectations or goals of the candidate’s position. Inquire about the candidate’s level of performance and whether the candidate simply met expectations or exceeded expectations. You are looking for a performer, so listen for a strong endorsement of her ability to understand the job and meet its demands.
Ask: How did this candidate handle X, Y and Z? (Fill in the blanks with two or three key responsibilities of the job)?
Select three key issues, responsibilities that must be understood completely and accomplished in an exemplary manner to achieve success in the role. Focus your inquiry around these responsibilities. Answers to specific questions about these qualities will tell you how successful your candidate has been in the past at dealing with the challenges you expect him to face in your company.
Ask: Do any of this candidate’s achievements stand out for you? How did these impact the company or department?
You want to hire an achievement-oriented person. Not only should the reference remember the achievement, he or she should be able to supply you with perceptions such as, “we were really proud of her, she topped sales for the department and for the state,” or, “he took the initiative here, and it was noticed by senior management.” Listen for comments colleagues make about employees who go the extra mile.
When you want to know: Will this candidate be easy to get along with?
Ask: How would you characterize this candidate’s relationships with her supervisor/ peers/ direct reports?
Will your candidate be a daily source of positive energy or a drain on morale? How your candidate’s supervisors, peers and direct reports perceived her, reacted to her, and worked with her is indicative of how your staff may interact with her. Candidates usually present their people skills in the best possible light during an interview process. By probing about a candidate’s relationships over time, you may establish a more accurate picture of the person.
When you want to know: Will this candidate be a team player?
Ask: Tell me about a time when you noticed this candidate went above and beyond for the benefit of the team, demonstrated a high level of commitment to a project, or overcame large obstacles to complete a project.
You not only want your candidate to be a team player and meet expectations, you want him to go above and beyond. Is he a dedicated employee or perhaps focused on employee development as a manager? Of course, these simple questions evoke strong “yes” responses, but digging deeper will give you a better sense of the extent to which your candidate embodies these values. If the reference can not think of any stories to answer this question, you may be getting a red flag that your candidate is not a team player or does just enough to get by without ever going the extra mile.
When you want to know: Does this candidate have bad habits you should know about?
Ask: What are some areas this candidate could improve upon?
Begin this one by acknowledging that no one is perfect, and everyone has areas to work on. In addition to the actual answer, listen for the area the reference chooses to focus on. Did the weakness pertain to maturity, inexperience, interpersonal skills or ability? The importance of the area is whether an improvement can be made, and what caused the weakness in the first place. Stronger candidates may be weak in skills that they have not had the opportunity to develop.
Be wary of candidates who should have improved this weakness by this time. Another mark of strong candidates is that they are often aware and focused on improving the weakness.
Reference checking is an often undervalued tool for gaining other perspectives on a candidate before you make a hiring decision. Although the preparation requires extra effort, the investment in making a good hiring decision is worth the time spent. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain important insights into your candidate’s performance history, interpersonal skills and capacity to make a contribution to the team.

text: Significance: The garden that surrounds the Nathaniel Russell House is significant as a late twentieth-century interpretation of the historic garden its owner and builder incorporated into his new residence in what was in the first decade of the Nineteenth Century a suburban neighborhood. Russell assembled several lots along Meeting Street, allowing him space enough to tuck support buildings at the rear of deep lots and devote about a third of an acre to what one contemporary observer called his "bower of flowers." The garden at the Nathaniel Russell also reflects a regional urban aesthetic. This garden, like others laid out in Charleston early in the nineteenth century, was meant to be seen from an elevated vantage. The most important entertaining rooms in Charleston's larger houses were located on the second floor where they provided a point of view that allowed householders and their guests to include the garden, its plan, and its plantings in social conversations. The garden in place today is not a recreation of Russell's historic garden. Rather, it is a representation of what the owner of the property, Historic Charleston Foundation, calls an English garden appropriate for the years the Russell family occupied the house. The garden thus comports with the Foundation's preservation philosophy that the landscape of the house "should be interpreted as a rehabilitation and that the extant layers of its history should be retained." The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1973. It is also listed as a Contributing Property in the National Historic Landmark District in Charleston, South Carolina.

Keen’s Steakhouse has been open since 1885. It’s the second-oldest steakhouse in New York City.
I had the chance to dine there last week for the very first time. Joining me were several dear friends, some of whom I’ll tell you more about.
First, a little more about Keen’s.
Located in midtown Manhattan, this is the quintessential power restaurant.
One reason is because I somehow managed to get out of New York City just in the nick of time, before a blizzard buried the city in snow.
What follows here are a few random shots I snapped with my smartphone while walking and driving around during my final day in Manhattan.
The term “professional gambler” gets tossed around way too loosely.
Fact is, relatively few full-time professional gamblers exist, particularly when defined as someone who actually earns the vast majority of one’s personal income making bets. While there are indeed many pretenders masquerading around as professional gamblers, and even more part-time players with other means of financial support, year-to-year professional gamblers who survive long term are a rare breed.
Mickey Appleman is a professional gambler.
To me — Wo Hop City Inc. has been, and shall forever be, far more than just a restaurant.
Permit me to explain why this is so. It’s deeply personal. It’s a love affair that’s lasted nearly 25 years.
Located at 15 Mott Street towards the far southern end of New York City’s famous Chinatown, Wop Hop is one of hundreds of similar ridiculously cheap Chinese restaurants seemingly wedged next to and seemingly stacked atop one another, most all of which serve outstanding food and provide quick and efficient service. Expect classic Cantonese cuisine suited to conventional American tastes, although plenty of Asians seem to enjoy the food, as well.
Babbo is an upscale Italian restaurant in New York City’s West Village on Waverly Place, just steps away from Washington Square Park.
A few nights ago, I dined there with three of my dearest and most respected friends — Stevan H. Goldman, Steve “Ice” Eisenstein, and Peter Alson.
While it’s entirely inappropriate to sum up these complex men’s lives in a simple sentence or two, at the risk of offending those who I least want to offend….Goldman owns a very successful private company, Eisenstein is one of New Jersey’s most well connected and sought-after attorneys, and Alson is a New York City -based writer and longtime friend who just so happened to be my collaborator on the Stu Ungar biography, “One of a Kind.” Oh, they are also all people who I have met while playing poker and known for at least 15 years.

Physical Therapists are licensed, board certified movement/bio mechanical specialists who are trained in variety techniques that may help with your recovery.

I have been treated for many different injuries over the years at Greenhaus Physical Therapy. There is a reason that I always come back. They are simply THE BEST!!!
Dr. Mona Rajpal is an excellent physical therapist. She is a true professional who is caring and concerned about her patients. Her expertise is displayed in every interaction with her patient. The office set up is very good. It takes care of privacy. I would recommend Greenhaus PT to all the people who need PT and fitness.
I could not be more pleased with the care provided by Anita and Mona. It is so rare these days, not to feel hurried. Everything about the office is wonderful including the highly competent and warm back-up staff. I highly recommend this clinic!
Treatment was terrific, very pleasant, accommodating, clean.
In my opinion, PT staff at Greenhaus Physical Therapy is quintessential with a superb mix of technical and inter personal skills …I was very fortunate to have found this extraordinary physical therapy clinic.
Excellent treatment. Personal service. Very customized to meet my specific needs and rehab issues.
The care was superior to other PT mills. There is individual attention and excellent care. I have recommended Greenhaus to everyone that tells me they are looking for PT therapy.
I was extremely satisfied with my treatment. Mona was very professional and knowledgeable. I will highly recommend her to my friends.
Anita provided me with a lot of helpful information that I could use in the treatment of my condition. Her treatments and exercises to do at home helped ease my pain.
The experience was exceptional; my workouts were monitored and charted to get full benefits of sessions. I highly recommend this facility for PT.
If you need physical therapy, this is where you want to be. I speak from many years of experience and injuries.
This was my third times. I would not have returned for # 2 and/or # 3 if I had not been treated professionally, courteously, and promptly. Experience # 3 just as good as the previous ones.
This was my second experience at Greenhaus. The first in 2007 when I had a left hip replacement and again when my left knee was replaced. Again I am very pleased with my progress as is my surgeon. I am not looking for any … joint replacements but if it occurs, you will see me again.
Mona explained what we’re doing at all times. She was very professional and pleasant to work with. I would definitely recommend her to friends.
Warm, friendly environment, excellent caring staff.
Mona was very professional and knowledgeable. She ascertained the nature of my back problem before my doctor. I would strongly recommend her. Mona – Great Job! -J.M.

On May 1st, 2015 Natasha Rose Gould was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPG) a highly aggressive and difficult to treat brain tumor found at the base of the brain, mostly in children.
There is no cure for DIPG. There have been no new treatment protocols in over 40 years. The median age of diagnosis is 6-7 years. The median life expectancy without treatment is 9 months. Radiation therapy is given to prolong life for some months.
DIPG is, overall, the leading cause of death of pediatric brain cancer. More kids die from brain cancers than any other pediatric cancer. Cancer is the #1 cause of disease death in children, the 2nd leading cause of death from all causes.
Childhood cancer is dramatically underfunded. Yes, fewer children get cancer compared to adults. But the loss of potential life years along with the high incidence of secondary cancer and other severe ailments caused by initial cancer treatments demand that more must be done. Pediatric cancer research by pharmaceutical companies is not a profitable business plan. Less than 4% of health research funds from government are aimed at pediatric cancer.
Natasha passed away on August 4th, 2016, 15 months after her diagnosis.
Help build the momentum of Natasha's advocacy efforts. Help her family and friends continue her fight. Share her blogs, videos, news updates and FaceBook page: see menu upper right. Contribute to research for pediatric brain tumors on her tribute page.

From D-Day to Independence Day, a fascinating interaction of film, popular history, academic history, nostalgia, and agenda activism has revived our past.Good, on balance.
But with the latest manifestation – a head of steam behind an effort to memorialize John Adams, his wife, Abigail, and his son John Quincy Adams in the national capital – the adage that nothing exceeds like excess is proved once again.
In the last month, a proposal to put the Adams family in statue form somewhere in the environs of Jefferson, Lincoln, and Washington has received unanimous approval by a House subcommittee and a full House committee, the endorsement of the latest Adams chroniclers, and opinion influencers from the left (Mary McGrory) and the center (Democratic Representative Tim Roemer of Indiana).
From the right, George Will has chimed in with newfound adoration of the family but is torn on the monument issue by his generalized opposition to Capitol clutter.
The campaign has built up a huge head of steam on its way to the House floor, which is precisely why it’s time to register a dissent – on historical, not landscaping, grounds.
The case against an Adams memorial can be oversimplified in a single term – The Alien and Sedition Acts. This 1798 offense against freedom, the Constitution, and political morality is a disqualifying action by any historical figure for whom the political equivalent of beatification is being sought. It is especially so in the absence of accomplishment of such surpassing and enduring value that they place such reprehensible behavior in acceptable context.
In a wink, that takes care of the old man himself and his wife (depending on which history book you favor, she was either the source of his support of a political police state or his enthusiastic collaborator).
By logic, if John and Abigail don’t fit the mold (Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt), John Quincy can’t stand alone. He was a skilled diplomat for Washington and his father, and he was the first model for the ideal post-presidency. But the younger Adams also accepted his corrupt selection as the first minority president in 1824 over Andrew Jackson, who turned him out of office four years later, as Jefferson did President John Adams in 1800.
The immense contributions of these people to the American Revolution and to the ideal of disinterested public service defy superlatives. But the Alien and Sedition Acts defied law in the guise of making it.
The law also targeted any malicious or scandalous, as well as false, writings, and not surprisingly, all of the nearly two-dozen cases under it were brought against Republican (as in Jeffersonian) activists and editors.
After he left office, Adams continued to argue that the legislation was justified on national security grounds and that he had signed the laws reluctantly.
The times were indeed dangerous – the country was in an undeclared naval conflict with revolutionary France, and political passions were ugly. But this only makes Adams’s resort to illegal suppression all the more despicable, and it is noteworthy that the laws were not repealed as the crisis subsided.
The major intellectual supporters of an Adams memorial – historian Joseph Ellis of Mount Holyoke College (”Founding Brother” and ”The Passionate Sage”) and best-selling author David McCullough (”John Adams”) – breezed by this huge transgression too easily in their books and in congressional appearances here this month. McCullough points out that the alien laws were never enforced, neglecting the thousands of legal residents who fled in terror that they would be. Ellis is much tougher – ”unquestionably the biggest blunder of his presidency” – but in context, he is forgiving.
It is not necessary in opposing a memorial to denigrate Adams’s pivotal role in the Revolution and his far-from-bad presidency (he skillfully negotiated an end to hostilities with France and in one of his final acts named John Marshall the Supreme Court’s chief justice).
Less well remembered but of major significance was Adams’s function as the scholarly advocate of a balanced, constitutional government even as revolutionary fervor stirred the colonies.
But that only makes his offense against the actual Constitution more flagrant. No true believer in the Bill of Rights should stand silent while this unseemly rush to elevate Adams beyond his proper place proceeds.

Exactly what is Clenbuterol and Exactly how it Works?
Initially, Clenbuterol was created as a bronchodilator for chronic asthma treating and concerns the group of sympathomimetics. Yet, like numerous wonderful drugs in Wanganui New Zealand, like Viagra, Clenbuterol 40mcg is used additionally in other, no less terrific, ways. As an example, sportsmens in Wanganui New Zealand take it for releasing and burning off the held fat and, consequently, for mass repartition.
Sportsmens buy Clenbuterol tablet computers in Wanganui New Zealand first of all as it boosts fat deposits free of cost mass/fat mass ratio. And if you wish to drop weight, simply try to take it– however do not forget the best quantities. Clenbuterol promotes beta-2 receptors and, therefore, boosts metabolic activity on the whole.
Just what does this words indicate? When beta-2 receptors are promoted by Clen, mobile heat is improved (on the mitochondrial level), and your core temperature is also enhanced. The greater the temperature, the higher the metabolic price– and you can bid farewell to your held fat!
Clen assists individuals in Wanganui New Zealand eradicate adipose tissues (surplus fats) as a result of its thermogenic residential properties. Clen enhances the body’s metabolic process and helps in the conversion of carbs, proteins and fats into helpful energy. This drug is known to improve muscle mass augmentation.
Clenbuterol is renowned for its communication with the Beta-2 receptors, which is why Clenbuterol is described as a Beta-2 receptor agonist. This suggests that it is used to stimulate the beta receptors in fat and muscle cells in the physical body, therefore it is used to deal with respiratory problems such as asthma as it works as decongestant and a bronchodilator to facilitate breathing. It is likewise commonly utilized as a weight loss medicine because of its ability to burn up fat when made use of appropriately.
For the majority of athletes, Clen stops working after a few weeks of taking as it down-regulates some receptors of heart, main stressed and lung devices. However, anti-histamine drugs help to neutralize this impact of Clenbuterol– just take them during “off” time of cycle. Also in several nations offer of Clenbuterol is prohibited, that is why athletes may face lots of difficulties, if they prefer to obtain this medication.
As for benefits, 10-15 pounds off each pattern is an ordinary fat-burning impact of Clenbuterol. Of course, you need to do workouts and keeping special weight loss diet plan while taking it for desired outcomes. So, if you intend to reduce weight rapidly, Clenbuterol 40 mcg is a terrific drug, be sure. Furthermore, reduced Clenbuterol rate makes it a genuine fat-burning master on the planet of professional athletes in Wanganui New Zealand!
As a result of receptor reduction effect of Clenbuterol, you should take it carefully and in cycles. There are lots of numerous systems of taking it, consisting of “off” times for receptor “cleansing” yet it is quite simple to choose the most efficient one to adhere to. The first Clen taking technique (also called bursting one) is 2 days on/two day of rests.
A high amount of Clenbuterol must be taken for 2 days and afterwards you need to take no Clen for the next 2 days. Although you can take it in this manner for a very long time, this pattern is the most nerve-racking and ineffective. Both weeks on/two weeks off cycle of Clenbuterol taking is the most popular one.
20 mcg is the most effective quantity for beginners in Wanganui New Zealand. If it works well, it is feasible to take one more one a few hours later on. Two-three 20 mcg Clenbuterol tabs are ok the following day. Ultimately, you could begin taking 120– 140 mcg (80– ONE HUNDRED mcg for females) every day– however you have to keep that in mind it is a max-recommended dose of Clenbuterol.
So, you can take this fat-burner in this manner for 2 weeks, and, as quickly as this duration is passed, you have to stop taking Clen (you could take another ephedrine-free fat-burner throughout “off” duration). Then, as Clenbuterol improves temperature, you can take it for as long as it is high (and the medicine is working) with one-month break.
Various types of Clenbuterol like 40 mcg tablets, syrup and option for treatment are available for taking by every person who intends to lose weight with it. If you mean to acquire Clenbuterol, do not forget that the tablet computer type is the most popular one– just take a Clen tablet and clean it down with water.
You need to keep that in mind 120– 140 mcg per day is a maximum Clen dosage. Start with 20 mcg each day and improve the quantity each day till the optimum. For a lot of sportsmens, ONE HUNDRED mcg Clenbuterol dose each day is an optimum one (by their feelings and state). It is much better to take this medicine in the morning to have a day filled with power and to stay away from sleeplessness.
Of course, it is impossible to stay away from all side effects of Clenbuterol, but if you take it by cycle and without overdosing, you will possibly prevent all damaging impacts.
Clen, like all drugs, helps and harms at the same time. As it is not a steroid (it is a bronchodilator), its side effects are non steroid– but you will certainly feel them anyhow if you overdose. Irritability, shaking hands, feeling like a broken plaything and sleeplessness are the side effects of Clenbuterol promoting influence.
As this medication consumes taurine, so you can really feel muscle cramps– agonizing yet preventable, drink even more water. If you have some heart troubles, you must a lot better not to buy Clenbuterol or take it with care. But, you have to take mostly all medicines with treatment while having problem such as this, right? And, lastly, addiction.
Yes, it is so fantastic to slim down with Clenbuterol that you run the risk of getting hooked– so please don’t overdose and take the breaks.

Just a few days ago, I took a trip back in time. Of course, that is nothing unusual for me. I became the first person to open a package wrapped fifty years ago. Next week, I’ll share with you what that was.
A person under the influence of a foreign substance once told me she had taken a trip and never left the couch. I have the uncanny ability to do the same thing without the use of anything other than my imagination. All I have to do is pick up a book, and I can travel to places that don’t even exist, both in the past, present, future, and to a time that never was or will be.
But one thing has always taken me back in time—vinyl records.
I could have been called “the vinyl kid”, for it seemed a lot of things in my life were made from vinyl—the upholstery on our living room furniture and car interiors. Many of my very favorite memories come from countless hours spent listening to vinyl records. Lots of kids today have no experience with 33 1/3 RPM (revolutions per minute) vinyl records, though they and retro turntables are making a comeback. Perhaps the best way to describe a vinyl record is as “an antique CD” (though perhaps CDs are also becoming outdated).
I can barely remember my half-brother Jerry having a portable turntable. I must have been fascinated by it, for my dad went to Shoffner’s Furniture and Appliance and bought a new living room suite, a wringer washing machine, and a small cabinet model stereo with red fabric covering the speaker vents on either side. The floor model stereo was so small that I could stand and watch the records turn as they spun on the turntable. Dad was obviously afraid that I would tear up the stereo, for he had Irby Monroe make a pedestal for it.
I remember missing being able to watch the labels spin, but I could still hear the music. My dad borrowed some records of Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys from my sister Icy Madeline (Pat) McMurray. He borrowed others from her that I didn’t particularly care for, and I was no fan of Bill Monroe, either (though, praise God, I later came to see the light on that one).
Mother did order a mail order recording of which I was particularly fond. It was a Columbia® Special Products record with a red, white and black label simply entitled “18 All Time Country Hits”. The cover still bears traces from when I colored all around the pictures with a red crayon. I am looking at it as I write this article, though I still to this day have it memorized. I had Mother play that record so many times for me that it almost sickened her to hear it until her dying day.
I memorized every word of every song and would sing for anyone who would listen. I once performed for our landlord, Kenneth “Buck” Buckner. I told him when I finished, “Most people pay me to sing.” He laughed and paid me the only money I really remember receiving for my vocal abilities, one quarter. I’d probably get more money now from people paying me not to pollute the sound waves with my noise.
The record had one selection considered by the compiler to be the greatest recording for each of the eighteen country music stars popular in the 1960s. Side 1 led off with Marty Robbins’ “A White Sport Coat”. Not to be left out were two of Union County’s greatest singers, Roy Acuff’s “Wabash Cannonball” and Carl Smith’s “Foggy River”. Another personal favorite of mine was Patsy Cline’s “Walkin’ After Midnight”.
All was well until Dad had a stroke episode and had to quit working with Irby Monroe in maintenance for the Union County Schools. Mother never forgot the day that Rina Shoffner came to the door inquiring for payment for his merchandise. She said that he said he hated to take the washing machine “away from you and the boy”. It was arranged with my sister Ruby Foulks and her husband Buddy that they would take over the payments, but in the process they also acquired the stereo. Life was lonely without music for a few years, until December, 1971. That’s when Dad came home with an olive green, portable RCA™ turntable. Until 1983, when my mother bought me a Quasar™ stereo from Hobert Brown, that turntable became my best inanimate friend. Now, I could once more sing along with Marty, Patsy, Carl, Roy and the rest!
Dad also brought home something more valuable than the turntable—five used Chuck Wagon Gang records. He once again bought the turntable from Rina Shoffner, but I never knew where those wonderful Chuck Wagon Gang records came from. For many years, those records along with the hymns at church composed my musical repertoire. We acquired a few other records along the way, but everything always came back to those five records.
A classmate once asked me who my favorite singers were. When I told him “The Chuch Wagon Gang,” he began to, as the scriptures say, “Laugh me to scorn” (Psalms 22:7 KJV).
When I began dating my wife, I had a stack of perhaps fifty record albums. She introduced me to the wonderful worlds of Goodwill and KARM, and I now have over twenty feet of shelves loaded with records. It is now a hobby to try to find a Chuck Wagon or George Beverly Shea record that I don’t have.
Time has passed, friends have come and gone, the cabinet model stereo and olive turntable are long gone. The Quasar™ stereo remains, though the turntable only produces sound from one speaker. Other turntables from vintage sales and stores now elicit the wonderful sounds heard all throughout my life, though a great many of the voices they project have been stilled by death. Yet the vinyl records remain, stalwart in life as the God of which so many of them sing.
A good record is like a friendship, the better it is cared for the longer it will remain and the sweeter music it will produce, even if there is the occasional scratch or skip along the way. You can keep reading if you wish, but I hear one of my friends calling me just now.

The dynamics of a small scale magnetorheological damper were modeled and analyzed using multiphysics commercial finite element software to couple the electromagnetic field distribution with the non-Newtonian fluid flow. The magnetic flux lines and field intensity generated within the damper and cyclic fluid flow in the damper under harmonic motion were simulated with the AC/DC and CFD physics modules of COMSOL Multiphysics, respectively. Coupling of the physics is achieved through a modified Bingham plastic definition, relating the fluid's dynamic viscosity to the intensity of the induced magnetic field. Good agreement is confirmed between simulation results and experimentally observed resistance forces in the damper. This study was conducted to determine the feasibility of utilizing magnetorheological dampers in a medical orthosis for pathological tremor attenuation. The implemented models are thus dimensioned on a relatively small scale. The method used, however, is not specific to the damper's size or geometry and can be extended to larger-scale devices with little or no complication.

Farmer Patti Popp’s Brussels sprouts are so beautiful that Sport Hill Farm’s stall became a bit of a scene during opening day at the Winter Westport Farmers’ Market this past Saturday. Shoppers chatted excitedly about what to make with the leaves and stems, and I was inspired to post a second time about these mild tasting and quick cooking winter gems.
Lentils. Do you cook with them? They are one of the least expensive yet easiest ways to add a tasty vegetarian protein to a meal. Unlike beans, which can take more than an hour to cook, they take only 20-30 minutes. In this recipe, I greatly simplified a traditional Mexican recipe.

Vern Squier, the president and CEO of the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County, said monetary investments from the borough and surrounding municipalities for 2015 is a minor piece of the discussions he’s having with several local governments.
Squier said the borough has not previously invested money into the chamber, but has provided data to it and collaborated with it.
Lisa Erickson, the Centre County Library director, presented a case for the council to at least “hold the line” on its monetary donations to the library.
The council donated $27,250 to the library in 2013, but lowered its contribution this year by 10 percent to $24,525.
Erickson said 67 percent of Bellefonte residents have an active library card, which means it would have been used at least once in the last two years. She also said 36 percent of the circulation in the library is from non-Bellefonte residents.
Frank Halderman, the council president, said budget decisions are never easy.

Microphone and speakers connected to a computer are hanging from a tree. When a person speaks into the microphone, the computer changes his or her voice into a bird’s voice. The computer generates different bird voices according to the speaker’s voice volume, speed, sharpness, pitch and tone, as analyzed by a custom-made program. It is designed to “translate” the speaker’s mood or feeling into a suitable bird’s voice for communicating with birds that live around the Shu-Wu area.
Many birdcages are put in this space, as an old tool to restrain the bird. On the other hand a hi-tech system is also used as a tool to call the bird. Two different kind of tools for the same purpose – to communicate with the bird – are confronting in one space.

Two hog deer that strayed into fringe villages were rescued by locals in back-to-back days and released back to the wild in Kaziranga National Park by our IFAW-WTI team. The rescues, assisted by local villagers, are a heartening proof of the community taking positive action for conservation.
The first case involved a female hog deer found in Bokoli village. The deer had strayed out of the park and was luckily saved by a group of local villagers. The local Village Defence Party (VDP) kept the animal safe in the courtyard of a house in Bokoli village and immediately informed the park authorities.
The IFAW- WTI team, based at the Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC) was alerted by the Kaziranga control room for immediate response. With no visible injury to the animal, the team shifted the deer in a cage and drove it to an optimum release site at the Agoratoli range of Kaziranga National Park.
A day later, another female hog deer was found by the villagers of Dhansirimukh Bohikhowa. This deer was rescued by villagers from a paddy field where she was being chased by domestic pigs early in the morning.
Interestingly the fringe villagers kept the deer’s eyes covered with a cloth to keep her safe from fear psychosis, which indicates a high level of awareness among the community. This change in attitude points to a successful series of wildlife awareness campaigns conducted by IFAW-WTI in the fringe villages of Kaziranga conducted before the Monsoon flood season last year.

If you plan on rolling back the Skaven hordes in Warhammer: Vermintide 2, your team of rat slayers will need the best possible equipment, with plenty of awesome traits and bonus properties.
To get better loot at the end of the level, you want to find all the hidden tomes and grimoires in each area, although this comes at a cost since these items occupy potion slots. Below we cover every single Vermintide 2 secret tome location in the game.
Keep in mind that these tome locations are based off the closed beta just before official release -- the locations may change at the Vermintide 2 full release date! If you see anything incorrect, be sure to let us know, and we'll get the locations updated. Looking for the Vermintide 2 weapon and equipment traits instead? We've got 'em all listed right over here.
This first level of the game only features three tomes, but all are easy to find due to the structured street layout and large landmarks.
During the "Find A Way To The Temple" objective, you will walk by a giant flaming cart. Hang a left at the cart and walk down the alley to see a regular old non-flaming cart. Jump up the open back end of the cart to nab your very first tome.
During the "Get Past The Gate" objective, you will walk up wood walkways inside a tower. After walking up a short ramp, move to the edge of the walkway in the corner to look down and see the second tome slightly below you on a platform.
During the "Enter The Temple" objective, you will come across an open area with some stone landmarks and a bunch of bushes. You need to actually walk into the bushes and through them to a hidden area. The tome is in the back corner next the wall.
This one's a bit tough because there aren't a ton of landmarks to follow out in the forest until you hit the ruins, but you can find the grimoires and tomes by checking specific areas when the map objectives change.
When you pass through Howling Creek and the objective becomes "Proceed Through The Wilds," drop down the ledge and follow the wall on the left until you see a large tree and a cliff section above. The grimoire is up on a ledge that you have to jump to reach.
The second grimoire can be found during the "Find The Source Of The Disturbance" objective when exploring the elven ruins. You need to push three objects labeled as Suspicious Bricks that are located around the area near your feet in out-of-the-way locations. After pressing the third brick, head down the stairs to access a new underground location with the grimoire.
After grabbing the first grimoire (during the "Proceed Through The Wilds" objective), head across the map, traveling through a hollowed-out log, until you see two large trees flanking a broken box on the ground. The tome is inside the box.
When you get the first tome in the box, head south towards the map checkpoint. On your right, before dropping down to the lower area, is another tome inside a box.
After grabbing the secret second grimoire from the underground area (see above), head up a ramp of broken brick nearby and then turn right. Walk past the hanging vines and jump up on the rocks to find the third and final tome for this level.
The tomes in this farm-focused level are all cleverly hidden in inconspicuous locations, so you'll need to look around quite a bit to find them all!
After grabbing the first tome (see below), you will reach an area where you can go inside a home with a bunch of barrels that can be picked up. Head down into the basement with a barrel, and stack it in front of the closed-off area. Blow up the barrel to access a new hallway, then go up the ladder and out the back to find the first grimoire sitting on a barrel.
Shortly after the first grimoire during the "Unlock And Go Through The Barn" objective, there's an area where you can go up two ladders and onto a wood structure. After the second ladder, turn right and jump across the ledges to reach the tower. Keep jumping up the ledges on the side of the tower to find the second grimoire.
When you come across the first farm during the "Reach The Orchard" objective, you need to jump on a hay bale to walk along a fence (that doesn't seem like you can walk on) and then use that position to jump on the wood awning. Facing the roof -- a cart will be visible off to your right -- look for a small hole in the roof to grab the tome.
Inside the barn, look for a large, open window on the back side where you can jump down onto a barely visible platform to grab this tome. If you have trouble landing it, you can also go down to the ground level and jump up on the hay bales to grab the tome, even though it's blocked by the wood platform.
After the barn and during the "Reach The Farm" objective, you can jump down into a river on your left. Follow that river to find the third tome in a box.
Most of these grimoires and tomes are simple to find, but a few require some odd jumping puzzle skills to actually reach.
Shortly after the first tome (see below), you can go inside a dilapidated building and look out the side window to see the grimoire sitting next to a barrel. Shoot the barrel to blow up a secret passage entrance, then run around the side of the house to grab the grimoire.
After grabbing the second tome, eventually you will see the giant manor on your right. Go down the left to see another building on your right, and the grimoire will be visible up in the air on a ledge. Getting there is a challenge. Across from the building, jump up onto a cart, and then from there, leap from ledge to ledge across to the main building to finally get the grimoire.
After dropping down a ledge in the "Reach The Baron's Manor" objective, you will see a chaos symbol (the seven-pointed star) jutting out of the ground. Turn right and jump up on the broken bricks and then over the wood railing to find the first tome.
When you go through the wine cellar, you can exit up a ramp to your right or turn left and go down a hallway. Take the left and jump up to see through a hole in the wall on your right, where this tome sits next to a skeleton.
At the end of the level during the "Escape From Ussingen" objective, you will enter a burning building and go up a ramp. You can go forward to jump through the giant hole in the wall, but don't. Instead, turn around just at the edge and you will see directly to your right another section of the building you can jump in that wasn't visible before. Go inside and then jump down the hole to find the final tome of this level on the ground behind some boxes.
Here you finally enter an underground map to face the warrens of the evil rat men directly. You'll need to sharpen your jumping skills once again to grab these tomes.
During the early part of the level, travel down to the bottom floor and grab the ring of keys off the skeleton next to a rock pillar. Later, after grabbing the first tome (see below), you will exit the regular cave area and come across a more open section with some foliage and water. Turn right and jump down to see a locked chest on a ledge. Use the key to open the chest and grab the grimoire.
This one is pretty annoying to find. After the second tome (see below) and during the "Follow Nurgle Trail" objective, you will be walking up a wood ramp. Halfway up the ramp, look over the right side to find a tiny ledge you can jump down to. Walk on the ledge, then turn around and jump down into the stream. Follow this cave area to find another chest with the second grimoire.
After grabbing the key (but before reaching the first grimoire), you will come across a wooden rope bridge. Instead of crossing, turn right just before the bridge and go up a ladder. Turn left and jump across the chasm to the other side, where you can find the grimoire. The jump is pretty difficult, and you'll probably have to do this more than once.
After the first grimoire, you will walk across a rickety wooden bridge where you can either turn right or left. Turn right and jump down to a ledge, and then turn left to see the tome on the ground.
During the "Locate Old Ruins" objective, you will see a stone overpass. Instead of going through it, jump up the wood ramp to the left. Go forward and jump across the broken stone ledges to the other side, then turn right to find the third tome on the ground near a tree.
This swamp level doesn't offer much challenge in finding the various collectibles, with the exception of the last grimoire, which requires finding a bunch of candles that aren't easily visible.
After the first tome (see below), you will walk up a stone ramp where you can turn right. Next to a destroyed house you will see a series of wood posts. Jump up on the posts, then turn right and jump into the house. Go down the ledge to reach a lower area where you can grab the first grimoire underneath some broken boards.
After the third tome (see below) and during the "Find The Rotblood Camp" objective, you will drop down some rocks into a swampy area. You need to look for three candles hidden in rock alcoves and interact with them to make the grimoire appear. These are scattered all across the map and are on the ground in areas that you usually have to turn at an odd angle to see. Head towards the center of the map after lighting the third candle, and the second grimoire will appear on a rock pedestal in a watery area.
During the "Head Into The Swamp" objective, jump down into the broken swamp house and look to your left to see this tome clearly sitting up on a shelf.
When you exit the village into the swamp, immediately turn left to see a submerged building. The tome is clearly visible at the back of the watery building.
After the second tome, you will walk by another chaos symbol. Off to your right, the tome is clearly on a small wood shelf sticking out of the water.
Those are all the Vermintide 2 tome and grimoire locations we've found so far! Did you notice any others or see any locations change as the beta gave way to official launch? Let us know in the comments!

text: A new closed-bomb data acquisition and reduction program has been developed based on the Microsoft Excel 97 spreadsheet platform. With the addition of IOTech's Wavebook/512 data acquisition hardware, the voltage signal from the closed-bomb experiment is directly captured into the spreadsheet where burning rate (BR) calculations can be performed. Additionally, XLCB has the capability to generate pressure vs. time data based on given BRs, geometrical form, and propellant thermochemistry. A proposed summary sheet is included to better facilitate the exchange of information between interested parties in the propellant community. The Visual BASIC code used in this program was adapted from the FORIRAN algorithms in BRLCB with some additional improvements/modifications. The implementation of a user-friendly interface, the technique used to calculate the derivative, and the comparison of the normalized surface area and vivacity profile are some of the more dramatic changes. Multiple fits of the BR law (A(*)Pn) using different pressure regimes can be graphically chosen from either the BR vs. pressure graph or the vivacity graph.

The nailing day will be Saturday, when the elite runners of the Roma Ostia and the 28 Polar Pace makers, the ones who will guide the runners during the race, will climb on the stage of the Expo.
At the Expo, it will also be possible to register for the non-competitive race of 5km Euroma2Run until Saturday 11th March in the evening. The non-competitive race will start on Sunday 12 March just after the runners of the semi-marathon and will arrive at the Euroma2 shopping center. Participants in this race will also receive the exclusive technical tee-shirt Adidas.
As said Luciano Duchi, the boss of Rome Ostia : « Cisalfa is a company who believe in Roma Ostia since the early pioneering years supporting us since the first editions, allowing us not only to offer prices and vouchers to the participants but also through their involvement in the organization of the race. The philosophy and passion for running is intact even after 40 years. Having an adventurous companion like Cisalfa, after so much time, in a prestigious context, the new store in EUR, can only constitute an important added value to the 43rd edition of Roma Ostia.

A Nigerian politician and the Governor of Imo State Rochas Okorocha, met US President Barack Obama last week in Washington where he had the opportunity to shake his hand. The governor had accompanied President Buhari for bilateral talks with the US government.
From that brief meeting, where photographers took his picture seemed to have become a political motivation of some sot. He has now commissioned a billboard with the picture, and now he’s all over the internet.

Last year was our first Christmas as a married couple, we have our own place and we're super excited to put up our very own Christmas tree. We only bought a modest-size tree because of our cozy space too! We bought few Christmas decors too. Because we know we're moving after a year, nanghihinayang naman kami bumili ng madami decors.
My best friend gave me limited edition of Starbucks coffee beans in cutesy size ages ago, I kept them and promised myself I will use them one day as Christmas decor :) :) :) my best friend lives in SF for the past few years, and this is one of my ways to cope up bec i'm missing her so much esp on Christmas.

“Why do you guys always want to know how much stress I have?” While the patient who asked this question the other day had fibromyalgia, she could have had chronic low back or neck pain, chronic daily headaches, complex regional pain syndrome, or any other chronic pain condition. She was expressing a sentiment that I often hear in one form or another.
The Institute for Chronic Pain website has a new article on the social stigma of chronic pain. It explains the nature of social stigma and challenges both providers and patients to take the difficult steps to overcome it.
If it challenges and inspires you, please share it with your network.
The Institute for Chronic Pain celebrates this month its one-year anniversary of going live with our website and blog. The Institute for Chronic Pain is an educational and public policy 'think tank' devoted to changing the culture of how chronic pain is managed. We imagine a day when the management of chronic pain is guided by the principles of empirical-based healthcare (i.e., pursuing only those treatments that research has shown to be effective). Our public face is our website and blog, where we provide academic-quality information that is accessible to patients, their families, as well as providers and third-party payers.
September is Pain Awareness Month! It is a special month for us at the Institute for Chronic Pain (ICP). The theme of the month is one of the central goals of our mission. Specifically, our mission is to change the culture of how chronic pain is treated by promoting the theory and practice of chronic pain rehabilitation.
There’s a divide between chronic pain experts and their patients that rarely gets crossed. The divide centers on the issue of fear-avoidance of pain.
At first thought, it might seem crazy to accept that your pain is chronic. When I bring it up with patients, many of them tell me, not without irritation in their voice, “I’ll never give up hope of finding someone who can fix me!” Indeed, it’s common to think that accepting the chronicity of your pain is the same thing as giving up hope that you’ll ever get better.
In the last post, we addressed the question, “Why see a psychologist for pain?” The answer is that psychologists are the experts in teaching patients how to self-manage and cope with chronic pain. Patients who see psychologists for chronic pain can learn to self-manage and cope with pain so well that they can largely come to live a normal life despite having chronic pain.
Why See a Psychologist for Pain?
Patients can sometimes question why their physicians want them to see a psychologist for pain. The concern, of course, is that they are going to get stigmatized. They might wonder, “Doesn't my doctor not believe me?” or “Do they think it’s all in my head?” This reaction can often prevent patients with chronic pain from seeking the care of a psychologist. It is, however, unfortunate. Among all healthcare providers who specialize in the treatment of chronic pain, psychologists provide some of the most effective therapies.

Continuation from "Text of Blessings after a meal" until end.
Existence is the greatest of all miracles: At every moment, each thing comes again into being from absolute void. In truth, the essence of each thing is the Nothingness from whence it comes.
So what is so impossible about that which is truly nothing behaving as nothing? Why is it easier to accept the existence of the world than it is to accept the occurrence of miracles?

Recently, First Financial hosted a free Mortgage Market Seminar. The seminar was intended for anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the current state of the economy. Those in attendance were provided with detailed descriptions of the home buying and mortgage application process as well as advice on how to choose a realtor and lending institution.
The presentation began with an overview of the home buying process and emphasized that it is important not to be intimidated by the long process or be worried about credit score. By finding and choosing the right financial institution with an appropriate lending product and a realtor that one feels comfortable with, this process can be much easier. In order to choose the right financial institution, it is necessary for one to understand all the costs of owning and maintaining a home and determining how much he or she can afford. Some of the most common expenses of owning a home are the mortgage payments covering principal and interest, taxes and insurance, and upkeep. It is recommended that homeowners also set aside a reserve of cash for unforeseen expenses or emergencies.
Once a financial institution has been found, the potential home buyer needs to be approved. The difference between pre-approval and pre-qualification is that the first is a formal commitment from the lender and requires verification of income, funds on deposit, and credit report. When choosing a realtor and attorney, it’s recommended you choose someone with whom you are comfortable with and not make a decision based solely on fees.
No one should ever allow themselves to be persuaded into an agreement or contract about which they feel doubtful or uncomfortable with. It’s also encouraged to ask for closing credits and make your purchase offer contingent upon things such as affordable financing and satisfactory home inspection.
On that note, it is highly recommended that potential home owners have the house inspected. It might cost you a few hundred dollars now, but it gives peace of mind and might potentially save you from thousands of dollars in costs that could have accidentally been overlooked.
The seminar concluded with describing the differences between a fixed and an adjustable rate and closing costs. If you or anyone you know has any questions regarding a mortgage or a future seminar at First Financial, contact us.

Fisherfolk at the Berinda Cox Market in Oistins were thrown into a state of shock this morning with the discovery of the lifeless body of a man floating in the sea.
Just after 10 a.m., members of the Coast Guard recovered the body of Benjamin Burgess, 23, a British national, from the water.
Coast Guard recover the body of Benjamin Burgess from the water.
Burgess worked as an engineer aboard an oil tanker anchored just off the fish market’s pier.
Police at Oistins had received a report of a body submerged in the water around the jetty.
Several fisherfolk told Barbados TODAY they saw Burgess in the area of the neighbouring Bay Garden, last night.
A statement issued by a spokeswoman for Pritchard-Gordon Tankers, Sally Bishop, said the company was awaiting details of the incident from the Royal Barbados Police Force.
Burgess’ next-to-kin had been informed about his death, and were being kept up to date with information as it becomes available, the statement added.
“Everyone at Pritchard-Gordon Tankers is devastated by what has happened. All our thoughts and condolences go out to family and friends of the deceased at this very sad and difficult time,” the company said.
Police have asked anyone who may have information related to the incident to contact Oistins Police Station at 418-2612, Police Emergency 211, Crime Stoppers 1-800-8477 or any police station.

The South West Meccano Club is a club for Meccano enthusiasts in the South West of England and South Wales. We meet four times each year in the Bristol area with a branch in Paignton. Our Meccano interests include history, model building, collecting and renovation. We support our hobby with shows and displays both in the local area and throughout the UK.
Whilst we are principally a Meccano club, many of our members have interests in other modelling and building systems.
One of the major benefits of the membership of any club or society is the opportunity to meet like minded people and develop our shared interest by discussing plans and models, and exhibiting the results. In our club, we welcome new members of any skill level or Meccano holding: all we look for is the willingness to join in and enjoy yourselves. Remember that there are only 3 limitations to what can be achieved with Meccano. These are Time, Meccano component availability and Imagination….oh to have all three in abundance.
Our club was founded by Malcolm Hanson in 1984. You can read more about Malcolm on the Malcolm Hanson - a short history page.
The Malcolm Hanson Trophy is awarded each year to the best model as voted for by our members. More details about this trophy and the rules for winning it can be found on The Malcolm Hanson Trophy page.

Gazpacho in Spain is quite different than the gazpacho we know in the US. In the US it often seems to take on any form of cold tomato-y soup, usually chunky. Where as in Spain, it’s usually not thick at all, so much so that it is often consumed out of a glass, and even over ice. Gazpacho originates from Andalucia, the southernmost region of Spain, where it gets tremendously hot during the summer – so it’s understandable that a cold bowl (or glass rather) of gazpacho would be quite soothing. During the summer months in Spain, you can find gazpacho at nearly every restaurant (even McDonalds!). Often times you’ll find a dish called salmorejo as well, which is similar to gazpacho, but thicker and served with slightly different condiments.
This recipe comes from Jacobo’s mother and has been passed down for at least three generations. His mom has a constant supply of the gazpacho in the fridge all summer long. Jacobo will often make it as well (especially when I ask him nicely). Some gazpachos come with cucumber and red bell peppers already blended into the soup itself, but this one leaves those items out. What is very typical, however, is for gazpacho to be served with a “guarnicion” – basically condiments that include: small bits of diced bread, cucumber, onion, and red and green bell pepper. Then you can just sprinkle these items on top.
Directions: Blend all ingredients above, then poor into strainer (one that is almost screen-like – not a pasta strainer), and mash the liquid through such that only the liquid passes through, while the seeds and other sediment stay inside the strainer. The liquid is your gazpacho, so put it in the fridge, let it chill, and then serve (preferably with some yummy bread for dipping!)! It can stay in the fridge for about a week and still be good.


text: I went to the mixer/press conference at the inventively named “Labbat Beer Institute.” Enjoyed watching Charlie A’Court. Drank half a beer. Ate some food. Chatted up my former fellow Board members and many musicians and government folks. It was nice. Must remember not to crack jokes in mixed company though. I said to Stuart “Yes, I am trying to get out and be more social, my therapist says it will be good for me!” He laughed, I laughed, and out of the corner of my eye I saw people I do not really know look shocked… I told Marnie I look forward to her hearing the rumor at the Coast that I am in therapy.

There are a variety of butter substitutes.Â First is oil.Â Vegetable oils and spreads, rice oil and spreads and extra virgin olive oil are all typically safe alternatives.Â Organic is always a good choice because it is free of the many chemicals and preservatives often found in non-organic brands.
Margarineâ€”while not dairyâ€”is not aÂ healthy alternative due to the high content of trans fat it contains.Â Studies show that trans fat promotes heart disease, hardening of the arteries and some studies even link it to cancer!
There are fruit puree butters, such as apple butter or pumpkin butter, that are quite different from traditional butter, but are really tasty for certain uses.
Our favorite store-brand butter alternative, because it tastes the best and most like real butter, in our opinion, is Earth Balance Buttery Spread.Â Mmmmmm, DELISH!

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) will maintain its policy rate unchanged at -0.10% at tomorrow’s monetary policy meeting. This comes on the heels of a recent cut in forecasted GDP growth for 2019 to 1.30%. BoJ is even more pessimistic, expecting growth below 1%. The Japanese economy faces growing risk of a recession: BoJ is expected to cut projections of inflation, and lower oil prices continue dragging overall prices downward. December’s consumer price index expanded at a much slower pace of 0.30%, its lowest in 9 months on an annual basis, well off the target of 3%. Despite a decent rise in the government’s 2019 budget to JPY 101.46 trillion (USD 900 billion), it seems that capital spending and private consumption, Japan’s growth engine, are expected to stay flat in 2019 (2.70% and 1.20% respectively).
USD/JPY, currently trading at 109.47 (-0.26% year-to-date), is expected to rise following Wednesday’s BoJ meeting.

Ever since having a baby and working a desk job I’ve been trying to get into better shape- lose 10 lbs and tighten my waist line. I tried running, cycling, joined several gyms, had a trainer and tried all sorts of diets but all to no avail! I’d see no results and get bored. After just a couple of months coming to Sound CrossFit (now Sound Strength & Conditioning), I (and others) can visibly see a difference- It’s so exciting! Even after a busy day in the office and with a busy evening still ahead I’m always motivated to go because it’s so much fun, challenging and really friendly. The instructors do a great job of making new members feel welcome and part of the team and they give one on one attention to ensure you’re doing the correct technique. I love that I’m eventually getting healthier and making new friends at the same time!
SoundCrossFit gave me the confidence and clear instructions to be able to start Crossfit, something I never thought I’d be doing. I had tried starting at another larger box, and I was so overwhelmed and confused I wanted to quit almost immediately. With small class sizes and a tight-knit community, SoundCrossFit drew me in. I’ve been having an awesome time and getting stronger month after month! I quickly reached my original fitness goals (which I thought were already ambitious), so I keep setting new ones. SoundCrossFit keeps pushing me and keeps me motivated, and I learn new things every time I go. You can quote me on that.
I had been doing CrossFit for 5 years, at two different Seattle CrossFit “box’s” before coming to Sound CrossFit. I love the variety and group training aspect of CrossFit, and it’s so much more fun than slogging away on a treadmill or in a standard gym fitness class. Among the local box’s there is a tremendous variety in experience, coaching oversight, accessibility to newbies, and safety. Sound CrossFit’s (now Sound Strength & Conditioning) small size is its strength: With only 8 people in the class at a time, everyone gets unparalleled coaching and supervision. At other box’s, there can be dozens of people in a class at the same time. The coaches know about all of my injuries (sustained before starting CrossFit), my limitations, and how to encourage and nudge me along. With the small class size of varying ages and abilities, everyone knows each other, and if there’s a new face, that person is made to feel welcome immediately. It never feels cliquey. The convenient location is what brought me through Sound’s door, but it is the community and the commitment to quality instruction that keeps me there.
