An Interview With Steve Cook

If you’re into fitness then the name Steve Cook should resonate with you already. Pick up any respectable fitness publication in the world today and it’s unlikely you’ll find a copy without a picture of his smiling face and ripped torso staring back up at you.

In 2013, he solidified his place as arguably the planet’s most sought-after fitness model. With a soaring international fan base, a list of blue chip corporate sponsors, and more photoshoot requests than half of Hollywood, Steve Cook has got the physique most fitness enthusiasts aspire towards.

But what makes him tick? What are the 2014 training philosophies of the full-time fitness model and IFBB pro men’s physique bodybuilder?

TRAIN travels to his home town of Boise, Idaho, for a week of training with the fitness icon and discovers an athlete that’s actually only just getting started with his own athletic aspirations.

The basics

Born in the middle of a family of seven children, Steve excelled at sports growing up. He played football at college and would eventually graduate with a degree in integrated studies (biology/psychology). And by then he was already in good shape thanks to a childhood built around a training rewards system, like not being allowed to watch TV until he’d finished his daily push-ups!

And it’s still those early training memories, instilled into him by his father, that Steve maintains are the key philosophies he uses to stay in shape today. He insists that getting the basics right, no matter what your fitness level, offers the best route to a healthier, fitter lifestyle. Especially if your gym visits aren’t as frequent as you may wish.

He says: “As long as you stick to the basics then you won’t go far wrong. Things like bench press, squats, deadlifts, pull-ups, movements that work a lot of muscle groups. If people reading this can’t get to the gym as much as they’d like, then they at least should make sure they do the compound exercises.

“The basic stuff, like deadlifts which work the back, core, legs and shoulders are essential. By sticking to those types of movements you’ll see the biggest results.”

And focusing on your own goals and achievements is what matters most, states the and Optimum Nutrition-sponsored athlete. Allowing someone else’s achievements or performance to cloud your own aspirations is a sure-fire way to stunt your growth.

“Don’t compare yourself to other people,” he maintains. “Whether it’s in competition or just in the gym, there is always going to be someone out there with better calves or a better chest. But the minute you start comparing yourself physically to other people is the minute you’re not going to be happy with your training.
“If you concentrate on your progress and getting better from month to month then you will be satisfied. The moment you start looking and comparing everyone else’s best features to your worst features you’re in trouble. I’ve been there myself in the competition world when I’ve felt like crap because I may not have felt like I was lean enough or big enough.

“So the best advice I can offer is to focus on yourself, focus on your goals and achievements and don’t allow anybody else’s progress to scupper your fitness plans.”

Bodybuilding vs. Crossfit

Cook doesn’t see his own fitness career as a job, more a lifestyle. He doesn’t stereotype himself as a professional bodybuilder, rather more of a full-time athlete. A guy who through commitment and training has provided himself with an opportunity to live his life the way he wants.

Sure, it’s through conventional bodybuilding that he has found himself in the public eye. But Cook’s training regimen is so much more than pumping iron. He lives for new challenges, is determined to try anything at least once and embraces all forms of exercise – including CrossFit.

The strength and conditioning training craze has gained global recognition in recent years but along the way has driven a divide between traditional bodybuilding practitioners and the new generation of CrossFit devotees. However, Cook insists there’s plenty of space on the planet for both to not only coexist but even embrace one another’s core values.

He accepts: “There is a big issue between bodybuilders and CrossFitters, and I think there’s negativity on both sides. CrossFit people say that bodybuilders don’t have functional muscle, while bodybuilders say that CrossFit is just a sure-fire way to get injured. But I don’t see why there has to be such a disconnect.

“Obviously, there are bodybuilders out there that do fit the stereotype of not being athletes, just concentrating on isolation movements that don’t really do anything in regards to functionality. But at the same time, there are also CrossFitters who really don’t know the technique of the lifts they are doing. But stereotyping is dangerous.

“For me, I train pretty instinctively now and I always like to try new things. So I will always incorporate movements like the clean, and always try things like the muscle-up, on top of my bodybuilding exercises like bicep curls or the bench press, things like that. I like doing both.

“I like to lift to be a better athlete and to live healthier, yet I also like to lift to look better too. And at the end of the day it should all just be about health. Whether you are a CrossFitter or a bodybuilder it should always just be about improving your life. And so if I can do both and have fun doing it, as well as make progress in looks and performance, then I’m a happy guy.”

So, does this mean we may even seen him compete in the CrossFit arena one day? “I wouldn’t mind giving it a go,” Cook says. “I’m the type of guy that likes a new challenge. I’ve got my pro card and I’ve competed on the Olympia stage and while I’m not saying I am done doing that, I am also starting to look for something else to push my body.

“When you are a bodybuilder and you’ve competed on the stage it’s easy to become depressed after a competition because you look back and you know that you’re not going to look as good as you did on the stage. So now you’re back in the gym and what are you striving for? To get bigger and leaner for next time?

“What I want to do is concentrate on other goals and so I’m not obsessed just with how my body looks. I really want to look at what my body can do. And that means improving all my lifts, improving my cardiovascular system, getting my mile time down and just swimming more.”

Fitness with a smile

And training happy is the key to keeping Cook interested. While he’ll happily play around with different exercises and programs in the gym, outside of it he’s even more adventurous.

He says: “I like trying new things for sure, and there’s no better opportunity to try new ways to work out than when you’re on the road. Of course, when I compete I always want to be the best and I enjoy being good at something, but I also want to try everything new. There is no better feeling than taking something you’re not too good at and making it your strength.

“I’ll do yoga, I go trail running, I enjoy getting out into nature, getting out of the gym and I love opening my mind to new experiences. It’s actually as much a spiritual thing as anything else. What better way to work out than swimming in the ocean or even surfing. I grew up in the mountains so using my surroundings to stay in shape is too good an opportunity to miss.

“Recently, I was over in Hawaii so I went surfing and ocean kayaking; I was running on the beach and doing stand-up paddle boarding. And this is on top of going the gym for 45 minutes every day. And it’s all because I wanted to experience things I could only experience in Hawaii.

“There’s no better way to start your day than doing something active. Then you don’t have to worry about all the little details like what you’re eating, because you’re burning off calories anyway. There’s no such thing as the wrong cardio, in my opinion. As long as you’re enjoying it, then that’s it.”

District leaders are tourism advocates that volunteer to be the Travel Federation of Iowa’s primary contact for elected officials in a legislative district.

These volunteers are tourism professionals that communicate with legislators in their area, and help them understand the importance of tourism to local economies, and put the local spin on tourism-related policies being debated at the State Capitol.

TFI likes to have at least two (2) District Leaders in each district in order for our message to be loud and clear.

District Leaders sign up or renew their commitment to being a District Leader each year at the Iowa Tourism Conference.

To be a district leader, you must:

  • Have an email address.
  • Support and promote Iowa tourism.
  • Agree to be a leader for a year.

Annually, district leaders:

  • Organize meetings with their assigned legislators before the legislative session to discuss TFI and local tourism priorities.
  • Answer the TFI Policy Priorities Survey (10-15 questions, sent each summer.)
  • Attend an advocacy training or district leader orientation (online or in-person.)

As directed, district leaders:

  • Respond promptly to advocacy alerts and calls to action.
  • Work as a team if there are multiple volunteers in a legislative district.
  • Relay what you hear to the Advocacy Chair, who will work with lobbyists for appropriate follow-up.
  • Make sure at least one tourism representatives attends local legislative coffees or town hall meetings (TFI sends a list of these out weekly during sessions.)

The Pak Ou Loop

Our rating:

We’ve researched and created a full-day motorbike trip that gets you off-the-beaten track while covering two Luang Prabang attractions. We’re calling it “the Pak Ou Loop” since Pak Ou village marks the furthest point. Mere minutes from town you’ll find yourself off-road travelling through rural landscapes, teak forests and small friendly villages and we’ve thrown in two stunning viewpoints to savour as well.

Like the Chomphet Loop, we’d rate this ride moderate. The route is mostly undulating dirt road and a paved major roadway with some traffic. Prior experience driving a motorbike is an absolute must. It’s also worth buying Hobo Map’s inexpensive Luang Prabang Area Map, which covers the route.

Teak forest and rural life only a few kilometres from Luang Prabang. Photo taken in or around The Pak Ou Loop, Luang Prabang, Laos by Cindy Fan.

There are two ways of starting the trip. Either head out of town travelling through Ban Phanom in the direction of Henri Mouhot’s grave, crossing the new bridge over the Nam Khan river. Or take the road running past the airport and continue along the road until you reach a two-way split. Go right, in the direction of “All Lao Elephant Camp”. The Nam Khan river bridge should come into view. Past the bridge, you will suddenly find yourself on quiet dirt road immersed in a rural landscape with a pretty ridge of mountains running along your left hand side.

For the next 18 kilometres the tourist crowds will seem like a distant memory. The dirt road takes you through teak forests, rice paddy and a few small villages including Ban Na Tan, where they make bricks. There are some lovely shady spots to take a break. Eventually you will meet a quiet asphalted road. At this junction, head left, travelling for 8 kilometres until you ... please log in to read the rest of this story.

Fire ravages 850-yr-old Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris, spire collapses

Paris, April 15

A colossal fire swept through the famed Notre-Dame Cathedral in central Paris on Monday, causing a spire to collapse and raising fears over the future of the nearly millenium old building and its precious artworks.

The fire, which began in the early evening, sent flames and huge clouds of grey smoke billowing into the Paris sky as stunned Parisians and tourists watched on in sheer horror.

The cause of the blaze was not immediately confirmed but the cathedral had been undergoing intense restoration work to help the 850-year-old gothic masterpiece better deal with the tests of time.

The flames and smoke plumed from the spire and roof of the cathedral, visited by millions of people a year.

Deputy Paris mayor Emmanuel Gregoire told BFM TV the spire "collapsed inwards" and that workers were scrambling "to save all the artworks that can be saved." A spokesman for the cathedral told AFP that the wooden structure supporting the roof was being gutted by the blaze.

"Everything is burning," the spokesman for Notre Dame, Andre Finot, told AFP.

The fire service said the blaze could be "potentially linked" to ongoing renovations.

President Emmanuel Macron cancelled a major televised policy speech he was due to give on Monday evening over the "terrible fire ravaging Notre-Dame." He was to head to the scene in person, the Elysee announced.

In a tweet he expressed the "emotion of a whole nation" on seeing Notre-Dame ablaze.

"Like all my compatriots I am sad to see a part of us burn this evening" he said, expressing solidarity with "all Catholics and all French people."

 German Chancellor Angela Merkel called Notre-Dame cathedral a "symbol of European culture" as the blaze raged.

Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo in a tweet described it as a "terrible fire".

Vast clouds of grey-white smoke billowed round the cathedral as yellow flames still licked the top of the building.

There was no immediate indication of any casualties in the blaze.

"The Paris fire service is trying to control the flames," Hidalgo wrote on Twitter, asking residents to respect the security cordon thrown up around the site.

A spokesperson for the cathedral said the fire, which comes as French Catholics prepare to celebrate Easter, broke out at around 1650 GMT.

Fire trucks could be seen speeding through Paris towards the scene on the Ile de la Cite -- an island in the Seine at the heart of Paris.

The Paris police department in a tweet called on residents to avoid the area and to "make way for rescue vehicles".

US President Donald Trump in a tweet said: "So horrible to watch the massive fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Perhaps flying water tankers could be used to put it out. Must act quickly!" Hundreds of people gathered on the bridges of Paris downriver to witness the scene, some filming the images with their smartphones, an AFP reporter said.

The cathedral had been undergoing intense restoration work which last week saw statues lifted from the top of the cathedral.

Built between the years 1163 and 1345, Notre-Dame is one of the most popular tourist sites in Paris, drawing around 13 million people every year.

The spire, like the rest of the gothic edifice, had been undergoing the 11-million-euro (USD 12.4-million) overhaul financed by the French state to repair damage inflicted by time, pollution and the weather. AFP

Southern Kyoto
Southern Kyoto has a reserved air. Though the Fushimi Inari Shrine is one of Kyoto's major tourist attractions, the surrounding nature, parks, gardens, temples, and shrines provide less-visited spaces for strolling and reflection. The Fushimi Inari Shrine itself is made up of 32,000 sub-shrines, and the mountain they are dotted across beckons hikers, picnickers, and lovers of the outdoors. Many of the mountain's off-set paths aren't frequented by tourists, and the mountain's serenity can be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. Southern Kyoto is the place to enjoy being outside, and to pay your respects to the ancient architecture and gods of the land that are celebrated here.

Hi, is there any parking at or nearby the hotel?
There are stairs but not too many. You could go two routes, either underground tunnel or surface streets. I would go surface streets, it’s a direct walk across the street. Head towards McDonalds and then exit, you’ll see the hotel to the left.

There is a bus station in front of the hotel, but it is a city loop bus. I'm not sure the direct bus to Namba, probably must change the line.

Your Guide to Bald Eagle Watching Near Alton, IL

Bald Eagle Pair and Nest - Upper Chilkat River

Moelyn Photos/Getty Images

You don't have to go far to see the country's second largest population of bald eagles. Just head north from St. Louis to the Great River Road and make your way to Alton and Grafton, Illinois. Each year, thousands of eagles migrate to the area. They come for the fish found in the cold waters of the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. The birds begin arriving in late December and stay until March, so there's plenty of time to do a little eagle watching. Below are some of the best places to see the eagles in the St. Louis region.

    Your first stop to learn more about eagle watching should be the Alton Visitors Center. The center hosts Meet & Greets where you'll get an up-close look at a bald eagle from the World Bird Sanctuary. You can also sign up for guided eagle tours or pick up a copy of the center's eagle watching guide before heading out to do some exploring of your own. The visitors center is at 200 Piasa Street in Alton.

  • 02 of 06

    Brussels Ferry

    brussels ferry Grafton, illinois

    The area around the Brussels Ferry attracts many bald eagles throughout the winter, but riding the ferry is an experience itself that shouldn't be missed. The free ferry is located on the Great River Road, one mile west of Grafton and four miles east of Pere Marquette State Park. It crosses the Illinois River every day (weather permitting). Just drive your car aboard and let the tow boats do their work. The trip across the river only takes a few minutes, but you may have to wait to board during peak times. Conservationists say you'll often see eagles around the Brussels and other ferries because they churn up the water and bring fish to the surface for the eagles to eat.

    The primary function of the Melvin Price Locks and Dam is to keep barges moving on the Mississippi River, but it is also part of the Audubon Society's Great River Birding Trail. It's located south of the Clark Bridge near Alton. When you visit, also check out the National Great Rivers Museum next door. The museum has everything you'd want to know about the Mississippi River and its impact on the St. Louis region. At the museum, you can also sign up for free tours of the locks and dam or attend special eagle events during the winter.

    Pere Marquette, the largest state park in Illinois, is located just west of Grafton in Jersey County.

When you're ready to head indoors, stop by the lobby of the Pere Marquette Lodge and warm yourself in front of the giant fireplace. The lodge is also a nice place to stay if you want to turn your day of eagle watching into a weekend visit.

    The Confluence Tower is south of Alton in the small town of Hartford, Illinois.

November in Miami: Weather and Events Guide

A great time to head to Miami!

Greater Miami Convention and Visitors' Bureau

November is a great month to visit Miami! Not only is the month packed with pre-holiday prep and fin events, the humidity of the summer has cleared up significantly and the weather is outstanding. Everyday is a perfect day to relax by the beach or take a walking tour of the city, you really can't go wrong. Early November kicks off with Miami Live Arts Month, an annual event that residents look forward to every year. By the end of the month, the holidays are in full swing and every corner of the the city is lit up and glowing.

Early November is still a pretty quiet time for tourists, but as you near Thanksgiving, the city starts to fill up with all the vacationers. This just means you should plan ahead, so make reservations, or order tickets to activities ahead of time. Of course, if you're just looking to head to the beach, yo'll be fine.

Miami Weather in November

November is one of the nicest months to visit Miami. There is little humidity and lots of sun. Everyday is like the perfect summer day. Although hurricane season is still technically in effect, it officially ends November 30th, you usually won't get much rain. On average November has seen about six days worth of rain, but remember this is Florida where it rains for about 20 minutes and usually not until the late afternoon.

·       Average high: 78 degrees Fahrenheit (25.5 degrees Celcius)

·       Average low: 71 degrees Fahrenheit  (21 degrees Celcius)

What to Pack

The weather is warm and sunny in November, but it can get a bit chilly in the early morning or later in the day. You'll need your typical summer gear for during the day hours, shorts, t-shirts, bathing suits, and of course sunscreen. Pack a light zip up or long sleeve t-shirt for the chillier hours, just to be safe.

November Travel Tips

·       If you're planning on visiting towards the end of the month, book in advance. The city tends to get busier the closer you get to Thanksgiving.

·       Remember Election Day and Veterans Day are both early in the month and Miami public schools are closed on both days which means tours attractions, museums, and the beach will be a bit more crowded than usual.

Foundations, Part One, B

Foundations, Part One, B

For those who follow Jesus Christ, the very foundation of their salvation is built on the grace of God. Alistair Begg teaches about the nature and purpose of that foundation. Don’t miss this important and helpful lesson on grace.

Programs Program

In Christ Jesus

In Christ Jesus

We’re often encouraged to have a positive self-image. And yet, the first step to salvation is acknowledging our own wretchedness and our need for a Savior. That’s our subject as we begin a new series called Life in the Spirit on Truth For Life with Alistair Begg!

Series Image

Life In The Spirit

What does it mean to be a Christian? How does faith in Jesus make a difference in a believer’s daily experience? In this series of sermons, Alistair Begg addresses these questions by exploring Romans 8 from the perspective of one who is already in Christ. As Jesus’ finished work on the cross is applied in our lives, we receive a new freedom to make choices that please our heavenly Father—and the indwelling Holy Spirit’s power enables us to walk in those choices. We think differently because of our new identity in Christ, knowing that hardships and suffering have a purpose in God’s ultimate plan. Since we are in Christ by His grace, there is no condemnation; and since we are kept by His eternal love, there is no separation between us and Him forever.

Sheep groups request to maintain H-2A procedures |

Sheep groups request to maintain H-2A procedures

State sheep associations located in the Western states that utilize sheepherders delivered a letter to Department of Labor (DOL) Secretary Thomas Perez today requesting his support to maintain the special procedures for the H-2A sheepherder program in the upcoming rule-making process.

One third of all the lamb and wool produced in America is from sheep under the care of H-2A sheepherders. The sheep ranches are open range operations grazing tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of acres each year with the sheep moving constantly to fresh feed. The animals are herded to keep them together and to avoid overgrazing. Moving sheep regularly also protects them from poisonous plants and predators. American workers are generally unwilling to fill these herder jobs as demonstrated year after year with a handful of herders from the United States and a thousand plus herders from overseas.

The exemptions of the special procedures to allow for mobile-type housing, a monthly wage rate and a slightly longer stay are the reasons why the program has been successful since the 1950s. Without the special procedures, the sheep ranches that have H-2A herders will not be able to continue. Loss of sheep production of this magnitude will result in the closure of lamb processing firms, wool warehouses and will ultimately negatively impact all 79,500 family farms and ranches that raise sheep in America.

"We ask the department to maintain the special procedures in the proposed regulation to be published for comment by April 15," concluded the signators of the letter.

According to Kelli Griffith, executive director of Mountain Plains Agriculture Service, the special procedures have always been informal guidelines and have never gone through the rule-making process.

These provisions are essential for livestock businesses operating on open range. The concern is that the DOL will remove one or all of the critical provisions, which would eliminate a labor supply for open-range operations putting those businesses in jeopardy, Griffith added.

Association of Texas Soil and Water Conservation Districts

The Association of Texas Soil and Water Conservation Districts (ATSWCD) is a chartered, tax exempt, non-profit organization of soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs) in Texas. The purpose of the organization is to promote SWCDs through educational, scientific, charitable and religious activities.

The ATSWCD attempts to make owners and operators of agricultural land aware of the need to conserve and protect the soil and water resources of Texas and the consequences all citizens face if these valuable resources are allowed to deteriorate.

In recent years, the ATSWCD has been a leader in making landowners aware of the need to protect private property rights in order that landowners will be able to continue their traditional conservation practices.

The ATSWCD is divided into 13 Area Associations and each Area Association is governed by their own by-laws. These 13 Area Associations are designed to develop leadership within each Area and to address regional conservation concerns. The Areas are also set up to strengthen lines of communication between all areas of the state. Every SWCD in Texas is considered to have membership in the ATSWCD.

The ATSWCD holds an Annual State Meeting of District Directors in conjunction with the TSSWCB's Annual State Meeting of District Directors.

Any SWCD director who is a district cooperator and who has served at least two years as an SWCD director is eligible to be elected as one of the five State Association Directors, provided their SWCD is current with its quota payment to the ATSWCD. Voluntary annual quotas are assessed each SWCD as established in the ATSWCD by-laws.

Obituary for a helpful friend – Swarna Navarathna

p1000895 With great sadness we have to say good bye to Mrs. Swarna, sister of our manager Mr. Sagara Abegunewardene, and dear wife of our former Srilankan coordinator Mr. S. B. Navarathna. The picture was taken in the year 2012 in their house where Mrs. Swarna and her husband used to welcome guests from Germany who were visiting project schools in Matara. Mrs. Swarna always enjoyed inviting us to have lunch, tea and cake at their place and showed particular hospitality. (here: Mrs. Swarna, her husband, Mr. Sagara and vice president Mrs. Pinger)

We will keep her in mind with great appreciation and wish – with regard to her Buddhist belief – Nibbhana! May her husband and her sons feel comfort when thinking of her with love and thankfulness and may she rest in peace!

Water Use It Wisely Website Features Guest Blog on Santa Cruz River Heritage Project

The Santa Cruz River Heritage Project, a plan to discharge reclaimed water into the river just south of downtown, is spotlighted in a guest blog on the Water Use It Wisely website.

James MacAdam, superintendent of public information and conservation at Tucson Water, writes about the City of Tucson project to create a regular flow of reclaimed water in the Santa Cruz River that will percolate into the riverbed and enter the aquifer. Currently, most discharge into the river occurs on Tucson’s far northwest side limiting recovery of this resource. The new flow will support native vegetation, attract wildlife, and help spark economic development.

The target launch date is June 24, which is also El Día de San Juan, the traditional start of the summer monsoon and the birthday of the patron saint of water.

Ringo Starr Prepares To ‘Give More Love’ With 19th Studio Album

Published on

Ringo Starr will release his 19th studio album, GIVE MORE LOVE, on 15 September via UMe. The CD and digital formats will be followed a week later by an LP edition.

Starr, who turns 77 today (7 July), recorded the album at his home studio with a remarkable line-up of guests. Paul McCartney, Joe Walsh, Edgar Winter and Steve Lukather are all on ‘We’re On The Road Again,’ while ‘Laughable’ was co-written with Peter Frampton. He performs on the track along with Benmont Tench, Timothy B. Schmit, Richard Page and Amy Keys.

McCartney is also on ‘Show Me The Way,’ co-written and performed with Lukather. ‘Speed Of Sound,’ co-written with Richard Marx, features Lukather, Frampton and Nathan East; ‘King Of The Kingdom’ includes Winter and Dave Stewart.

The album also has ‘Electricity,’ co-written with Glen Ballard and featuring Walsh and Don Was; Stewart co-writes and performs ‘So Wrong For So Long,’ Was and Winter are on ‘So Wrong For So Long,’ co-written and performed with Gary Nicholson, who also co-wrote the album’s title track,which features Schmidt, Richard Page and Gregg Bissonette.

The CD edition of GIVE MORE LOVE will feature four bonus tracks. Versions of ‘You Can’t Fight Lightning,’ Ringo’s 1974 US No. 1 ‘Photograph’ and of ‘Don’t Pass Me By,’ which he sang on The Beatles‘ self-titled “White Album” of 1968, are collaborations based on performanes for his 2016 Peace & Love birthday event. The other, of his 1972 hit ‘Back Off Boogaloo,’ is based on the original recording Starr made when he wrote the song, which he discovered recently while moving house.

This year’s Peace & Love salute will again take place as Ringo celebrates his birthday at Capitol Records with family, friends and fans, as satellite events take place all over the world. Many of them can be streamed live at Starr’s Facebook page.

Ringo and his All-Starr Band will be back on the road for their next North American tour in October, in the line-up that has toured together since 2012. It features Lukather, Page and Bissonette along with Todd Rundgren, Gregg Rolie and Warren Hamm.
