User Assistance for an In-dash Automotive Entertainment System

Automotive manufacturers are moving forward with a wide range of in-dash, digital services. Usually this includes a link to a cellular data connection. In many cases, it includes tethering to the driver’s phone and in a growing number of cases, a link to mobile apps. Whether or not you think working with apps as you cruise down the interstate is a wise idea, it is likely this trend is going to continue.

Looking ahead, the auto dash is a new environment for user assistance professionals to consider. Up until now, the large majority of apps have been ones custom-crafted by the automotive manufacturers. It is not hard to imagine a time when APIs will make it possible for all kinds of software to be running through a vehicle’s entertainment system.

As with any kind of hardware/software, new users are going to have questions. What does it do for me? How do I use it? Ideally, the systems will be as intuitive as possible. However, there are still going to be times when some of our users are going to need some assistance.

One of the areas that poses a challenge to users is ironically one that will make life easier in the long run – the use of voice commands. All of the voice command systems I have seen in vehicles use a controlled vocabulary of key words and phrases. Most of these are common terms. But using the system effectively still takes some practice and its helps to get some tips.

I think it is instructive to experiment with this kind of Help. I recently checked out the voice system of the 2013 Honda Accord at a local dealership. The embedded video below shows a brief snippet of the voice command reference and the Getting Started tutorial. I apologize for the jerky video.

The screen for the entertainment system is in the center of the dash between driver and passenger. Below it is a control knob for making selections. To the right of the control knob is an “INFO” button. This takes you to the home page for information about the system, including using voice commands.

The voice command reference is broken down into five sections. Each of the sections lists the word or phrase to accomplish a particular task. The default is just a text display. If the text takes up more than the height of the screen, you scroll by turning the knob. The center of the knob is labeled “ENTER”. You press knob inward (the click) to start the audio accompanying that topic panel. You can hear the click as a beep in the video recording. In order to go back the previous menu, you need to press a Back button to the left of the control knob.

z_dash_ref2    z_dash_ref

In Getting Started, there are five panels of information. As with the reference, you click the knob to start the audio. Unlike the reference, you move the control knob to move to the next topic panel. The tutorial panels use an image inset to show the relevant controls.

The Good and Bad

Here are a few personal observations:

  • Having some form of Help is better than none. While the controlled vocabulary uses common words, there are a lot of terms you wouldn’t necessarily think of on your own. Ideally, this would have a more powerful natural language processing engine. But until that happens, help is helpful. And yes, one of the default commands is “Help”.
  • This is not a touch interface. The control knob and the buttons present an unfamiliar UI and it is difficult to figure out. There is no Help for that. I think it would be tough to navigate with the knob while driving,
  • I question why one of the main categories is called “Useful Commands.” I would think you would only want to have commands that are useful. Maybe something like “Most Popular Commands”.
  • The text is at a good size to read. However, I don’t know what the right size to read is when you’re driving. All the text is in the same typeface: heading, items, notes. It could help to experiment with some slightly different sizes, bold, etc.
  • The Getting Started option is visible at the bottom of the reference screen. I couldn’t figure out how to use the control knob to get to the choice until the salesperson showed me.
  • The Getting Started topic panels are pretty well constructed. The browse sequence is easy to see and the main text is easy to read. The inset image and text are a bit small. If it was a touch screen, it would be nice to be able to tap the image to magnify it.
  • The voice itself is pretty smooth. I personally don’t like a synthesized voice that pieces together words. The voice also has its own script. It is close to the same as the text but not exactly. That is a good thing. Written procedures don’t sound right when vocalized verbatim.
  • Overall, I think the presentation of the voice command information is mostly successful. I don’t think it would work well on the go. More likely, you would check it out while parked. But, it beats printing out something online or paging through a print manual.
  • Speaking of the manual, the system seems like it would work very well as the delivery system for all the instructions and maintenance for the vehicle. However, none of that information is available. There is a PDF reference manual for the navigation/entertainment system. At 150 pages it is daunting. On one hand, it appears to be well-constructed. On the other hand, it makes the system seem really complicated. I think it would be better to have the most important getting started instructions on a single page at the start of the manual.

I didn’t have a chance to connect my iPhone to the system. The Hondalink app provides some limited sharing of information like your phone list and certain apps like Facebook, Twitter, and Pandora. I am interested to see what adjustments those apps need to make in order to work effectively and safely in a moving vehicle.

Blues performers return to Coolham with great rhythm section

Katie Bradley

Katie Bradley

Have your say

An evening of the best in live music is promised at Coolham Village Hall.

Two great musicians, who both played at Coolham Live Music Club last year with their own bands, return on Saturday, April 11.

This time, however, they will be playing together for a one-off performance with a world-class rhythm section.

Kent singer, songwriter and blues harpist Katie Bradley came into the spotlight with her 2012 itunes hit ‘I hear the river’, which received a nomination for best original song in the British Blues Awards.

She has supported and collaborated with Luther Allison, Suzanne Vega, Georgie Fame, and Geno Washington and recently completed a 22-date UK tour with US blues guitar ace Kirk Fletcher. Katie has been complimented by Paul Jones for her intuitive harmonica playing and in 2014 world-famous harmonica maker Anthony Dannecker endorsed Katie with her own customised harps, uniquely hand crafted in response to her style.

Norfolk based Ron Sayer Jr began playing guitar at seven and was gigging by the time he was ten, taking the rocky road from Hank Marvin to Robert Johnson, stopping off pretty much everywhere in-between.

Providing the rhythm and drive behind these two accomplished performers will be Sam Kelly and Spy Austin, who will need no introduction to Coolham regulars. Five times winner of Blues In Britain magazine’s ‘UK Drummer of the Year’ award, Sam is acknowledged as one of the finest drummers around today.

For years Sam has collaborated with Spy Austin, who is regarded as one of the best professional reggae/soul bass players on the London circuit.

Opening the evening will be the Red Butler Duo. Vocalist Jane Pearce and guitarist Alex Butler are the front half of this Sussex-based blues/rock outfit, a band that has been attracting a lot of interest since the release of their debut album Freedom Bound in 2014.

Alex is just 21 years old. He teaches guitar and formed Red Butler in 2012. His musical influences include Derek Trucks, Allman Brothers, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Gary Moore.

Jane Pearce was brought up listening to artists like Gary Moore and Muddy Waters. It’s this raw and honest musical background that provides the basis for her well-crafted vocals and exuberant stage performances.

The gig starts at 7.45pm (doors opening at 7.15pm). Tickets are £20 with a fish and chip supper or £15 without.

There is no licenced bar so people are advised to bring their own drinks and refreshments.

For tickets please ring Graeme Tame on 07889 775173 or visit

Suspected Thieves of $5,000 in Little Debbie Snack Cakes Caught

JONESBORO, Ark. -- Police believe they have found their culprits in the theft of $5,000 worth of Little Debbie snack cakes in Arkansas.

The theft was originally reported missing on Wednesday morning and garnered national attention. With the expense of the trailer itself, authorities said the net worth of the theft was closer to $6,000.

But NBC affiliate KAIT reports that the mystery came to an end not long after. Authorities in Mississippi County, Ark. - not far from where the snack cakes were stolen - spotted a vehicle traveling down the road and a trailer matching the description.

► Previous story: Ark. thief makes off with $5,000 in Little Debbie snacks

Two women have been taken into custody, the station reports. Though an exact motive for the theft hasn't been released. Detectives said that the two had switched out the tags and locks on the trailer by the time they were caught.  10 cases of merchandise and a stainless steel dolly were missing.

►Make it easy to keep up to date with more stories like this. Download the WFMY News 2 App now.

The owner of the trailer, Roy Frazier, said that he had heard a few jokes about the unusual theft. But to him, it was no laughing matter - adding that the financial hit of the loss - and the days out of work afterward - would have hurt his livelihood even when insurance replaced the stolen items.

He said a local Sunday school teacher prayed with he and his family before the items were found.

Tesla's important not only for electric cars but for Silicon Val - WGEM.com: Quincy News, Weather, Sports, and Radio

Tesla's important not only for electric cars but for Silicon Valley

Updated: Jul 22, 2014 11:09 AM
© iStockphoto.com © iStockphoto.com
By Antony Ingram

The Tesla Model S is undoubtedly an excellent car.

It's quick, efficient, looks good to most eyes and can compete with most fossil-fueled equivalents on even footing.

But it's arguably not Tesla's, nor Silicon Valley's most important product, according to Edward Niedermeyer writing in Bloomberg.

It's a strange concept, given just how important the electric sedan is to Tesla. It's the first true volume electric vehicle from the company, and one tasked with turning Tesla into a worldwide force. Along with the Model X crossover, it's the one that needs to make money for Tesla.

But Niedermeyer argues that Tesla's unique attributes, and the occasionally outlandish claims made by its founder and CEO Elon Musk, are even more important.

There's method behind these thoughts.

Cars are expensive and difficult to make. It's why we don't all own car companies, and it's why most startups tend to be flashes in the pan. Even huge automakers struggle at times--GM's current recall furore is one such example.

But "brash re-imaginations of the car industry", as Niedermeyer puts it, cost little--yet create the same sort of buzz as any physical product. Thoughts and ideas are a currency too, and Tesla--and Silicon Valley--are profiting from them.

The article notes that Musk is already America's best-known car executive, even though Tesla itself is a tiny brand next to the Big Three or companies hailing from Europe and Japan. His name, and his product, is widely known outside those with a traditional interest in cars or the automotive industry. Love or hate Tesla, you've probably heard of it.

Tesla's presence comes at an appropriate time too. While auto sales are typically rising worldwide, many automakers are struggling to attract the next generation of drivers.

Many reasons are given for this--not all of them accurate--but the increasing cost of driving plays a major part and Musk's promise of reinvention of the automobile is a hopeful view that could reignite passion for vehicles.

They may be expensive for the time being, but they're also an indication of change--perhaps change away from a status quo where younger people are less able to travel independently. Google, another disruptive industry force based in Silicon Valley, is tackling this from a different perspective, with its autonomous vehicles.

Tesla still sells vehicles in small numbers and Google not at all, but support for each company is indicative that at least some of the population are keen to witness change.

It's exciting and it's hopeful--qualities that the traditional automotive industry is struggling with right now, and ones they'd be advised to pay heed to.

I wouldn't give up on Danks yet. I saw enough positive last year to think that he might pitch well once he is two years removed from surgery. We'll see.

In an encore of The Business Beat, Steve Jones-D'Agostino, strategic partner of Susan Wagner PR + Best Rate of Climb, interviews Mark Shepard, CEO of Forest Agriculture Enterprises, founder and president for Restoration Agriculture Institute, and author of Restoration Agriculture. They talk about developing and maintaining self-renewing gardens. This episode aired originally on December 12, 2013.

Over the years at its Winter Conference, the Massachusetts chapter of the Northeast Organic Farming Association has presented a wide array of thoughtful, engaging and important keynote speakers. They have included Karen Washington of Just Food - whom Steve interviewed nearly two year agos, prior to the 2013 Winter Conference - as well as other thoughtful leaders in the food movement.

The 2014 Winter Conference, held last January 11 at Worcester State University, offered a diverse line-up of more than 60 workshops, exhibits by numerous regional vendors, and an all-day seminar and keynote by Mark Shepard,  a perennial-agriculture and permaculture design expert. The Massachusetts native designs self-renewing gardens in Wisconsin.

Shepard runs New Forest Farm, a 106-acre perennial-agricultural forest that  is considered by many people to be one of the most ambitious sustainable-agriculture projects in the U.S. Shepard, who also has experience in water conservation and land restoration, questions the easy availability of future staple crops - particularly in urban population centers.

Around the globe, most people get their calories from annual agriculture - plants that grow fast for one season, produce lots of seeds, then die. Every single human society that has relied on annual crops for staple foods has collapsed.

Shepard’s book explains how we can have all of the benefits of natural, perennial ecosystems and create agricultural systems that imitate nature in form and function while still providing for our food, building, fuel and many other needs - in our own backyard, farm or ranch. His book, which is based on real-world practices, presents an alternative to the agriculture system of eradication and offers exciting hope for our future.

Tonight on Inquiry we talk with James Dempsey, writer and instructor at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. His new book is a fascinating biography titled The Tortured Life of Scofield Thayer. Scofield Thayer was born in Worcester and became the owner and editor of The Dial magazine, the premiere showcase for modernist writers and artists like Picasso, E. E. Cummings, T. S. Eliot and James Joyce. But Thayer was a complex and troubled man. An uneasy mix of “the Victorian and the libertine”, he believed in free love despite being married. He went under analysis with Freud in Vienna but spent his remaining decades suffering from mental illness. Then there is the story of the Dial Collection that resided at the Worcester Art Museum for decades, but is there no longer. To find out why, tune in.

Tonight on Inquiry we have a lively and wide-ranging conversation with psychotherapist, writer and artist Donna Hamil Talman. Her fascinating work deals with themes of transformation, purification, destruction and regeneration. Her website is:

wikiHow to Make Irish Pancakes

Community Q&A

Irish pancakes are thin and flat pancakes, not the fluffy and 'fat' pancake style most often served across North America. They're still as delicious, just of a different texture and weight, and you can add the same tasty toppings that you'd normally use. Ideal for Shrove Tuesday or for a quick snack when the kids are starving, Irish pancakes are easy to make and plate up.

  • Serves: 12-15 small pancakes

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 and 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 stick butter (2 oz melted)
  • 1/4 stick melted butter (for frying)
  • Fresh squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (for serving)

  1. 1
    Put the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle of the flour, place the eggs inside the well. Pour the milk in and a tablespoon of oil.
  2. 2
    Stir from the center, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges. Ensure to stir until all the eggs, milk and oil are well combined. Beat with a whisk, until a paste forms, smooth and thick. Add a little milk if the mixture is too thick.
    • Add a good portion of milk to mix well to remove any lumps from the batter.
  3. 3
    Continue mixing, continuously pouring in all of the remaining milk. Continue until a thin paste forms, similar in consistency to sour cream.
  4. 4
    Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes. This will allow the starch in the flour to swell. This increases the lightness of the pancakes when cooked.
  5. 5
    Place the pan over the stove. If the pan is the ideal temperature, the batter should be cooked on one side for about 30 seconds.Heat the pan on medium heat. Rub with a paper towel soaked in oil. Using a ladle, pour the batter into the pan, moving the pan to cover the entire surface with a thin and uniform composition.
  6. 6
    Using a round bladed knife, pick the pancake up and turn over quickly. Avoid creating folds and creases.
  7. 7
    Cook for another 30 seconds, then transfer immediately to a hot plate. The pancakes can be served as they are or are placed one above the other like a set.
  8. 8
    Serve immediately. Serve with the standard pancake toppings, such as syrup, squeezed lemon juice or cream.

6. Uncle Joe 5:58
7. Blindfold 8:26
8. Star Spangled Banner 2:28

The second of two self-titled 1993 efforts, this Red House Painters collects the remaining tracks from the remarkably fruitful sessions which also launched the earlier, superior album. Far more experimental in nature, it opens with "Evil," an almost painfully slow and withdrawn song which acutely sets the album's haunting, dark tone. While not everything works — the electric version of "New Jersey" pales in comparison to the previous set's acoustic rendition, while the cover of Simon and Garfunkel's "I Am a Rock" is overripe — both the unrequited love song "Bubble" and the dysfunctional "Uncle Joe" rank among Mark Kozelek's most perfectly realized compositions, and the closer, a marvelously downbeat reading of "The Star Spangled Banner," allows the group's often unsung black humor to seep to the surface.

Lower Snake dams block fish, progress
By Dustin W. Aherin
May 18, 2008

I live in Lewiston, upstream from the four lower Snake River dams. Over the decades since these dams went in, we've watched salmon and steelhead runs plummet. We've watched the federal government submit plan after plan to save salmon and keep the dams, to no avail.

A federal judge in Portland has thrown three out of the last four plans out. The federal agencies released a fifth plan this month, and this one, like the others, is not based on sound law or sound science. It, too, is likely to be thrown out.
Lost in the focus on salmon runs are the other problems created by the four lower Snake River dams: flood risk and economic uncertainty for Clarkston and Lewiston.

For more than 20 years I've watched the water level rise in the reservoir behind Lower Granite dam. Sediment flowing down from thousands of miles of river is accumulating in the reservoir flanking Clarkston and Lewiston. The river level is rising, the flood risk growing, and the levees built 30 years ago to protect downtown are now inadequate.

Decades ago the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers identified the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers as a "future problem area" for sediment buildup. The future is here. The water level behind the levees is now higher than downtown Lewiston and nearing the top of the levees. With an enormous spring snowpack sitting up in the mountains, the safety concerns are abundantly clear.

The Army Corps has tried to focus public attention on preventing sediment from entering the reservoir and dredging. It is impossible to stop natural sediment coming off 32,000 square miles of land and economically unfeasible to dredge out the massive amount of material now deposited. The only two viable options are to raise the levees along the waterfront or remove the four lower Snake River dams.

Residents don't want higher levees. It could require raising bridges and highways, will disrupt popular walking paths and further isolate the town from its river. The second option – dam removal – requires us to face up to unfulfilled promises made to an earlier generation.

Lewiston has an ambivalent relationship with the lower Snake dams. My grandfather's generation believed these dams would be economic salvation for the town. But while other towns got highways, freeways and rail hubs, Lewiston got a seaport that greatly benefited some but has proven of limited use to most.

The dams keep Lewiston stuck in the mud. Town leaders want to develop the waterfront. But with a steadily rising river level, the prospect of raising levees and the growing pressure to remove the dams to restore salmon, Lewiston can't develop its waterfront with any certainty.

My father's generation worked hard to make the Corps' promise of an economic boon come true. But reality gave us a stagnating economy and an uncertain future. Barges are great for shipping wheat to Portland, but not ideal for getting many other goods to market. The seaport does not attract new businesses that could provide jobs and opportunity for Lewiston's residents. In a booming state, Lewiston's economy is stuck in low gear.

My generation is left to pick up the pieces. Many of us want to make a go of it in our hometown. It sits in a beautiful, temperate valley surrounded by great country. We should be able to attract new businesses and educated workers and keep talented young people from fleeing to larger cities. And an increasing number of us believe we can forge a prosperous path if we remove the lower Snake River dams.

With the Bush administration proposing to spend nearly $7 billion over 10 years on a recovery plan sure to fail, we could make a deal. Why not take a fraction of those billions and trade four outdated dams for improved railroads, highways and a revitalized waterfront? A modern transportation system in the region would benefit us all, including Spokane. Lewiston's future could be a restored river, a modern Western economy and a downtown centered on two of the most beautiful rivers in the West.

It's time for the Clarkston-Lewiston Valley to make a plan for its economy, its rivers and its future. But our future is stuck behind those dams. We need Senators Murray, Cantwell and Crapo to step up and lead an honest discussion about the costs and benefits of keeping four outdated dams versus restoring our river and our economy.

Did you lose quilt on the highway?

Special to the Pioneer

The Log Cabin Quilters met Thursday, Oct. 14 at the Levy County Quilt Museum. Everyone enjoyed reading the quilt books that were brought in. More fabric was also brought in. Joyce has made lots of tote bags for the children at Camp Caruth. More quilts were brought in for pictures to be taken.

 Have you lost a quilt on Alt. 27 near 10th Avenue? One was found on the highway and was brought to the Museum. We hope we can find the owner. It must have blown out of a pickup and now, if you can identify it, it’s yours. Come by and see if you can tall us what kind it is, color and how it was quilted.

 Greg and eight boys were out Tuesday. They mowed the yards, cleaned the flower beds, cleaned the floors and so much more. We appreciate everything they do for us. Thanks Lancaster.

 Our Thanksgiving Dinner will be held Nov. 18, a week before Thanksgiving. We invite everyone to come, just bring a covered dish. This way everyone can enjoy their own Thanksgiving whenever they want it to be. Bring the family. We will also be setting the Quilt Show up as we start the 26th of November ending Dec. 5.

 Thursday lunch was great with fried chicken, chili, soup, rice, fried okra, chicken salad, bread, jam, brownies, chocolate cake, cookies and what have you.

Light straw yellow and bright. Elegant, white and lively foam, with very fine and thin perlage. The aromas are clean and spicy, with an elegant, floral nose with hints of acacia and wisteria flowers. Pleasantly intense, dry, and easy to drink with a light almond aftertaste.

It is delicious as an aperitif or with light dishes.

Installed base of container tracking systems grew 54% in 2012

Berg Insight report reveals rapid growth in the use of remote tracking systems for containers incorporating data logging, satellite positioning and data communication to back office systems

Installed base of container tracking systems grew 54% in 2012

According to a new research report from the analyst firm Berg Insight, the number of active remote container tracking units deployed on intermodal shipping containers was 137,000 in Q4-2012, up from 89,000 a year earlier.

Growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 49.1%, this number is expected to reach 1.0 million by 2017. The penetration rate of remote tracking systems in the total population of containers is estimated to increase from 0.7% in 2012 to 4.1% in 2017.

Berg Insight’s definition of a real-time container tracking solution is a system that incorporates data logging, satellite positioning and data communication to a back-office application.

The market for container tracking solutions is still in its early stage. Aftermarket solutions mounted on high value cargo and refrigerated containers are the first use cases to adopt container tracking. Orbcomm has after recent acquisitions of StarTrak, PAR LMS and GlobalTrak emerged as the largest vendor of wireless container tracking devices.

Omnitracs, ID Systems and Skybitz are prominent vendors focusing on inland transportation in North America, which is so far the most mature market for container tracking solutions.

Envotech, Pointer Telocation, Savi Technology, PearTrack Systems, Honeywell Global Tracking and Kirsen Global Security are examples of companies which have been successful in offering dedicated solutions targeting the global end-to-end container transport chain.

‘The installed base of intermodal containers worldwide has now reached 20 million, which represents a significant market opportunity for the telematics industry,’ said Johan Svanberg, senior analyst, Berg Insight.

He added that several prominent wireless M2M operators including Orbcomm, AT&T, Everything Everywhere and Telenor even have assumed the role of end-to-end solution providers of container tracking. Container telematics can help stakeholders to comply with regulations and meet the high demands on security, information visibility and transportation efficiency that comes with global supply chains.

‘It has been challenging to find the right business models to suit the diverse range of players in the intermodal transportation chain, but technology advancement, declining hardware prices and market awareness are starting to come together to make remote container tracking solutions attractive,’ concluded Svanberg.

What are Common Project Manager Interview Questions?

There are a handful of specific project manager (PM) interview questions that are routinely asked by employers. These queries generally concern project manager responsibilities and attitudes. Although most interviewers ask many questions, the applicant should rehearse some project manager interview answers ahead of time. Apart from the typical queries related to individual strengths and weaknesses, a future PM might also benefit from knowing how to explain his experience, leadership capabilities, business savvy, and overall motivation.

A good chunk of project manager interview questions are based on leadership capabilities and overall direction. A project manager’s job is to plan entire projects from inception to completion. Common project manager interview questions regarding leadership and direction might include “How do you maintain motivation for yourself and fellow team members when the project is especially tedious?” or “Tell me about a time you had a disagreement with a team member or client. How did you resolve it?” An interviewer might also ask “How do you handle stressful deadlines?”

An interviewer might first invite a job candidate to describe himself. Though this request seems open-ended, the candidate shouldn’t simply spew out biographical details from the last several years of his life. The interviewer is asking for a basic description of the candidate’s experience and personality, and how it relates to the position. If the interview has a relaxing and comfortable feel to it, a candidate may include a few vague personal details. More likely, though, the interviewer wants to know how the candidate fits the mold for this specific career path.

It is important to note that although a candidate’s motive during an interview is to essentially brag about himself, honesty is expected and appreciated. When asked “What is your biggest weakness?” a candidate shouldn’t lie. It is not necessary, however, to tout a perceived strength as a weakness. It’s best for a potential employee to state an actual weakness, and discuss how he’s been conquering it successfully. The interviewer will appreciate the honesty while the interviewee won’t have to worry about lying.

Another of those open-ended project manager interview questions might be "Describe a typical work day you've experienced as a project manager." Here, the interviewer does not expect the candidate to outline all eight hours of his work day. He's likely looking for a range of duties, from delegating tasks to managing timelines and employees. Though it's best to research potential project manager interview questions, an experienced project manager should be able to answer questions like this with ease.

There are endless options for people interested in fitness vacations. Fitness vacations can occur nearly anyplace, from the mountains to the beach. They can be planned by the individual traveler or through a guide service. Some people may prefer vacations at fitness-oriented spas or resorts, while others may opt for vacations on fitness cruise ships. Fitness vacations can be focused on weight loss, a specific sport or activity, healing, or general wellness.

Many people choose to take their fitness vacations in the mountains. During the winter, people can downhill ski or snowboard. Most mountain hotels can direct travelers to experienced instructors if a person feels like she needs a little extra help. During the summer, a person can hike, backpack, mountain bike, or kayak. Again, guides are typically available, if necessary.

Traveling to the beach is another popular option. Usually, water sports abound, such as scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing, and swimming. Land lovers may opt for volleyball or an ocean-side run. Even some hotels that do not specialize in fitness vacations may give guests the opportunity to participate in beachside yoga classes or surf lessons.

Some fitness vacations originate on a cruise ship, making stops along the way. While on the ship, guests can run, play tennis, swim, or take fitness classes. While off ship, guests can take advantage of the area highlights, from hiking up a mountain to trekking through a rain forest.

Some people may prefer to be immersed in their fitness vacations through resort or spa environments. Many fitness-related resorts or spas offer dozens of fitness classes, from kick boxing to yoga. They may give people the opportunity to take advantage of a nearby beach, ocean, desert, rain forest, or mountain.

Typically, these resorts or spas offer healthful meal options, usually including the freshest ingredients. They even have instructional classes so guests can learn a new sport or nutritional information. For example, they may teach guests how to cook meals without using sugar or how to swim more efficiently in preparation for a triathlon.

Many fitness vacations at resorts or spas have employees who specialize in nutrition or physiology. A fitness resort may specialize in one area, such as yoga or Pilates. It may also focus on issues such as weight loss, healing, wellness, or detoxification. Some resorts offer a combination of several of these topics, while others may have a narrower focus only on weight loss or detoxification.

Some of our family vacations are so crazy and hectic that I think I could get used to a fitness spa vacation for myself.

A combination of health and fitness, and then some relaxing time with some spa treatments sounds like a perfect vacation.

Many times when I am on vacation I eat way too much and really pay for it when I get home. With a spa fitness vacation, you would still get a chance to relax and be spoiled, but also feel better about yourself because you aren't just sitting around all the time.

You could also learn some techniques and food preparation ideas that you could put in to practice when you got home.

Even if it was just for a long weekend, I think you would leave feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.

Post 5

I have mixed feelings about fitness vacations. This almost sounds like an expensive price to pay for something that could easily be done on your own.

If you can take what you learn from a vacation like this, and keep doing the same thing when you get home, I can see how it could be effective.

I am just the opposite when I go on vacation. I am pretty disciplined and diligent about working out most weeks during the year. When I go on vacation, I like to relax and not worry about getting my workout in.

When I get back home, I am ready to hit the gym again and work off any extra pounds I put on during vacation.

Post 4

I guess I have taken a few fitness vacations and didn't realize that is what it was called. There have been many times we have gone to the mountains for our vacations.

In the winter we like to ski and end the trip at the spa. In the summer months we like to hike and backpack. Our trips to the beach are also full of all kinds of activities like scuba diving, swimming and surfing.

Since we like to be active, having these kinds of vacations is normal for our family. We don't specifically concentrate on losing weight, but somehow incorporate fitness in almost everything we do.

Of course, we also allow time for rest, relaxation and a little bit of pampering. For me, a vacation like this is the best of both worlds.

Post 3

Interesting. I've actually heard of fitness vacations because several friends of mine have taken weight loss vacations. Neither friend lost more than a few pounds while on vacation though.

But, one of my friends actually lost a lot of weight after she came home. She learned a lot about fitness and healthy eating while she was on vacation, and she kept up with it when she got home.

My other friend was disappointed with her vacation results and got so discouraged she didn't continue working out when she got home.

So, I think weight loss vacations can work, but you have to be dedicated to continuing once the vacation is over!

Post 2

@ceilingcat - I see what you're saying, but I actually think fitness vacations for women are a great idea. A lot of people don't have time or motivation to work out. Also, it can be really hard to change your routine, once you have it set.

I think a fitness vacation could be a great way to kind of jumpstart your fitness routine. You would spend a week or so immersed in fitness, then when you come home you could create a new routine, incorporating what you've learned while on vacation.

Yes, vacations are traditionally for relaxation. But I think there's room in this world for both kind of vacations.

Post 1

Well, it seems like any vacation could be turned into a fitness retreat, if you want it to that is. I personally prefer to relax while I'm on vacation. I think a long walk on the beach and swimming at the pool is the closest I ever come to taking a fitness vacation!

And I don't think there's anything wrong with that! The whole point of a vacation is to get away and relax. I suppose if you're into skiing or kayaking or something then that would be a fun trip. But I don't think something like that would be fun for someone who isn't already into the sport.

Beshear active in seeking McConnell challenger

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Gov. Steve Beshear says he's part of efforts to recruit a Democrat to challenge Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in next year's election in Kentucky.

Beshear told reporters Wednesday that McConnell is vulnerable as the Republican prepares to face voters in his bid for a sixth term.

Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, seen as a rising star in Democratic ranks, is considering a Senate bid but has given no timeframe for making a decision.

Beshear says others may be pondering a run against McConnell. He says he doesn't know who the Democratic nominee will ultimately be.

Meanwhile, tea party activist David Adams says McConnell will face a tea party challenger in the GOP primary.

Adams says two possible candidates are weighing the race, and one of them will join the campaign.

Demonstrating the continuing influence of talk radio, both Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck made the latest Forbes “Celebrity 100” power rankings for 2010, coming in at No. 19 and No. 41, respectively.

Rush not only outranked rival Beck, but was also judged to be more “powerful” than David Letterman (No. 24) and Ellen DeGeneres (No. 23).

Limbaugh was one of many talk-radio stars participating in the annual Troopathon fundraiser this week.

The all-star event also saw Mike Gallagher, Dennis Miller, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and a host of others gather at the Richard M. Nixon Presidential Library to raise over a half-million dollars to send care packages to troops overseas.

Rush Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh hasn’t written a book in many years, even though his previous titles were huge bestsellers. But Limbaugh’s biographer Zev Chafets has revealed that Rush says, “He is going to write another book. He’s calling it ‘The Front Nine,’ which I think he wants to write about the lessons that he’s learned in his life about friendship and so on.”

“Obama is Herbert Hoover,” Rush told listeners this week.

“You know they used to call those unemployment camps Hoovervilles. Well, now we’re going to see Obamavilles springing up all across the nation,” Limbaugh said (FREE audio).

Rush’s in-house celebrity impersonator Paul Shanklin put out a new satirical sketch, in which “Al Gore” receives advice about dealing with a sex scandal, from his ex-boss (FREE audio).

In other hilarity, Rush’s African-American call screener “Bo Snerdley” had Limbaugh cracking up with his impersonation of Congressman John Lewis’ distinctive speaking style (FREE webcam).

Sean Hannity

Surprising news from Salt Lake City: Sean Hannity’s show may no longer air on KSL radio, because “he doesn’t meet the new values code instituted by Deseret Media,” a company owned by the LDS (Mormon) church.

According to a report in the Salt Lake Tribune, the “new mission statement, some might call it a creed, includes pledges like: ‘I seek to lift, inspire and help others find enduring happiness’ and ‘I promote integrity, civility, morality and respect for all people.'”

The Tribune reporter continues, “As you can imagine, Sean Hannity, who is beloved by his listeners for saying things like – ‘I’ll tell you who should be tortured and killed at Guantanamo – every filthy Democrat in the U.S. Congress’ – has a large problem in the civility-respect area.”

This week on radio, Hannity’s guests included New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, outspoken British conservative Daniel Hannan, Rick Santelli and many others (audio is members only).

Mark Levin

Mark Levin warned listeners this week that “we are losing our liberty,” thanks to the DISCLOSE Act (FREE audio).

Levin also slammed conservative magazine National Review for endorsing John McCain over his opponent, former talk-radio host J.D. Hayworth (FREE audio).

Levin had a stunning interview with Christian Adams, who resigned from the Department of Justice over their mishandling of the “New Black Panther” case involving racially motivated voter intimidation (FREE audio).

Michael Savage

Michael Savage denounced the new nominee to the Supreme Court as Elena “Kagan the Pagan” (FREE audio).

At his website, Savage explained, “Among Jewish people there is a type that Jews themselves call a bagel-and-lox Jew. Kagan the Pagan is a bagel-and-lox Jew. It means a person of Jewish descent who mocks her own religion, a person who shuns her own religion. When she spoke at her nomination hearings this week and said she was probably like most Jews at a Chinese restaurant during Christmas. What she is doing is insulting not only her own heritage, but Christians as well.”

On Monday, Savage talked about the Supreme Court’s historic Second Amendment decision, and took a revealing call about gun control from a listener claiming to be a former member of East Germany’s Secret Police (FREE audio):

G. Gordon Liddy

All week, Liddy has been discussing Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court with experts like Byron York and Andrea Lafferty of the Traditional Values Coalition.

Liddy welcomed author Brad Thor on the show to talk about his new blockbuster thriller, “Foreign Influence.” Thor told the fascinating story of his real-life experiences after Sept. 11, when he “was placed in a analytic red-cell program where he, and other creative minds, came up with scenarios concerning what targets terrorist organizations would attack next.”

Also this week, American Idol finalist David Archuleta talked about staying true to his Mormon faith while dealing with the temptations of celebrity, and Col. Jim Howard called in via satellite with a live report from Iraq (FREE audio).

Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck’s new novel “The Overton Window” sold over 132,000 copies in its first week and will debut at the top of the next New York Times bestseller list.

Beck informed listeners that his doctor has informed him that he may be losing his eyesight, but that it is too soon to tell. He also announced that his premium Insider Extreme members can now attend “Beck University” – online educational seminars led by experts in the fields of religion, economics and history.

Speaking of history: “I know why Obama returned the Churchill bust to Britain,” Beck announced on his radio show this week. He read from a report from the U.K. newspaper The Telegraph (FREE audio):

“Barack Obama’s grandfather was imprisoned and brutally tortured by the British during the violent struggle for Kenyan independence, according to the Kenyan family of the U.S. president-elect,” Beck reported.

In a weird segment on MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann show, liberal talk-show host Bill Press talked about Beck’s upcoming rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Said Press, “I really think 100 years from now [Beck] sees Abraham Lincoln off that chair and Glenn Beck sitting on it, looking at the mall.”

Finally, from the left side of the dial …

Good talk-radio hosts pride themselves on having their fingers on the pulse of their listeners’ moods and concerns. For some reason, Rev. Al Sharpton was caught off guard when listeners expressed overwhelming support for that pro-Second-Amendment decision handed down by the Supreme Court (FREE audio).

Sharpton admitted on the air: “I would say 90 percent of the calls I received yesterday were in support of the Supreme Court, and people say they want to bear guns. They’re tired of the violence and it’s very, very interesting. I have had a few on both sides today, but yesterday was overwhelming, it was stunning to me.

“I just told Attorney Lou Meyers, lady stopped me last night; I did the commencement address at Boys and Girls High. She said, ‘I listen to your show, Reverend, and I want you to know I’m saved, sanctified by feel of the Holy Ghost, but if they come in my house, I’m going to drop them right where they stand.’ So, and she looked like she was in her eighties.”

“I never have felt that any abortion should be committed – I think each abortion is the result of a series of errors. …” – stated President Jimmy Carter to reporters at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Washington, DC, Nov. 3, 2005, regarding his book, “Our Enduring Values – America’s Moral Crisis.”

President Carter continued: “I’ve never been convinced, if you let me inject my Christianity into it, that Jesus Christ would approve abortion. … I have always thought it was not in the mainstream of the American public to be extremely liberal on many issues. I think our party’s leaders – some of them – are overemphasizing the abortion issue.”

On Jan. 22, 1973, the Supreme Court decisions of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton allowed abortion in all nine months of pregnancy.

Twenty-three years later, Norma McCorvey, who was the “Jane Roe” in the Roe v. Wade suit, was interviewed by USA Today. She stated that once, while employed at a clinic when no one was in: “I went into the procedure room and laid down on the table … trying to imagine what it would be like having an abortion…I broke down and cried.”

On ABC’s World News Tonight, Norma McCorvey said: “I think abortion’s wrong. I think what I did with Roe v. Wade was wrong.”

When Cain killed Abel in the book of Genesis, chapter 4, the Lord asked Cain: “What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.”

If the blood of one innocent person’s death cries out for judgement, how much would the deaths of 58 million innocent unborn babies in the United States since 1973, and an estimated 1 billion globally? The majority of abortions in the United States are of African-American children.

Zel Miller, former U.S. Senator and governor of Georgia, stated in 2007: “Here is the brutal truth that no one dares to mention: We’re too few because too many of our babies have been killed. Over 45 millions since Roe v. Wade in 1973. … It is not a proper fate for a human being made in God’s image.”

Mother Teresa of Calcutta stated at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., Feb. 3, 1994, with Bill and Hillary Clinton in attendance: “The greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself, and if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? …”

Mother Teresa added: “Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use violence to get what they want. That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion. … Many people are also concerned about all the violence in this great country of the United States. … But often these same people are not concerned with the millions who are being killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers. … Jesus said, ‘Anyone who receives a child in my name, receives me’ … By aborting a child, a couple refuses to receive Jesus. Please don’t kill the child. … Give me the child. I am willing … to give that child to a married couple who will love the child and be loved by the child.”

Mother Teresa continued: “From our children’s home in Calcutta alone, we have saved over 3,000 children from abortion. … America can become a sign of peace. …”

Mother Teresa concluded: “From here, a sign of care for the weakest of the weak – the unborn child – must go out to the world … then really you will be true to what the founders of this country stood for.”

Ronald Reagan wrote in his article, “Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation,” The Human Life Review, 1983: “Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should be slaves. … Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion.”

going natural

By Brenda Tadych
Woman Newspapers

I’d read many credible accounts of successful whole body-focused treatments for any number of conditions and I was convinced alternative medicine was something I wanted to investigate further.  Treatments taking into consideration a person’s entire body sounded logical, and I decided to take the plunge.
I’d been intrigued with this form of treatment ever since I had something called electrodermal screening (diagnosing health problems by measuring electrical resistance and polarization at acupuncture points) at a wellness expo. I was amazed that this test could accurately determine as much as it did by simply placing a device on odd parts of my hand and fingers.
 Prior to my foray into wellness, I had gone through an entire year of working a plethora of part-time and temporary jobs. My eating and exercise habits were nil. I went from tired legs due to standing all day to swollen legs from sitting all night. I developed an annoying digestive issue, too.
I didn’t want a pill - I wanted to know how to prevent the problems in the first place. That decision started my three-phase health quest, with the goal of improving my overall well-being as naturally as possible with as much education and hands-on experience as I could accumulate.
In this column, I’ll discuss Phase 1: My pilgrimage into the world of naturopathy.
 At my first appointment with the group I met at a wellness expo, I filled out several pages of information designed to elicit an accurate mental and physical assessment. The doctor spent a good deal of time going over each and every question. She also did the usual weigh in and blood pressure check. The readings taken during the appointment and the one afterward registered in the Stage 1 Hypertension level. A second and third reading was taken at my request because I was sure their equipment was faulty! How could my blood pressure be what it was and I couldn’t feel it? I added hypertension to my list of ailments to improve with natural medicine.
The appointment lasted about one and a half hours, and included a saliva test which measured my body’s acidity and alkalinity (that’s pH level in common terms) and another electrodermal screening.
With the tests and assessments over, the doctor then recommended I begin using four of their products which included a multivitamin, dermal creams, and a digestion aid. She made her recommendation based solely on her examination of me, not on an average of all women, and I was willing to trust her.
I’ll be honest, one of the main reasons I hadn’t considered naturopathy before is because it is not covered by traditional medical insurance. The consultation and products cost me $315 but I felt hopeful and determined that it damn well better be worth it.
 Fast forward one month. I was feeling more alive and less tired on a daily basis. However, I wish the liquid vitamin had a warning label on it because this stuff looked, smelled and tasted like, well, vomit. I had to hold my nose while I drank, swished for 30 seconds, then swallowed it.
 The dermal creams were to assist with my adrenal and hormonal imbalances. I applied them to the tops of my feet, my throat or the undersides of my forearms, where my skin was thinnest. Not only was I less tired, but didn’t feel the two o’clock crash where I wanted to slip into the restroom at work and take a nap.
 I started off taking a digestion pill before every meal, then weaned it down to only before a heavy starch meal. I also discovered that red food, red sauces and red drinks were the triggers for my digestion malaise.
After three months of my naturopathy regime, I no longer have the mid-afternoon drag. I hardly need the digestion aids at all now, but I occasionally take one if I eat a few heavy meals in the same day. I wasn’t able to lower my blood pressure consistently, so I went to my family doctor. A small dosage of traditional blood pressure medicine now keeps it under control.
My bodily conversions of fats, proteins and carbohydrates are in sync. My adrenal glands are functioning well and my hormones are secreting as much as they should. Absorptions, releases, stimulations and suppressions are happening like fine-tuned mechanisms.
Now that my glands, tracts, hormones and I are one big happy family, it’s time to take on the next phase of my journey to well-being. Next column, Phase 2: My month with a personal trainer (good times!) Stay tuned.
