Cheap gym memberships and what they're actually costing you
by Sam Corbin - Dec 30, 2015 0
Day 1. via flickr user Jon Clegg
We'll bet you've already polished off your runners to get ready for 2016—new year, new you, and all that. There's always an upswing in gym memberships come January 1, and it's our duty here at Brokelyn HQ to make sure that you're not shelling out too much for the use of treadmills and locker rooms.
With all the competitive pricing happening in gyms lately, there aren't many New Years specials. And while you're never going to get a straight answer about what all those extra "annual fees" and "activation fees" actually mean, the least we could do is round up all the cheapest no-commitment memberships, franchise and independent alike, so you can share, compare, and settle on one that's right for you.
Location: multiple
Basic cost: $10.00/month and up
Additional fees: $52.25 (enrollment + annual fees)
Total monthly cost: $14.80
Unlike Crunch, Planet Fitness is priced the same everywhere, and their $19.99/month "Black Card" membership gets you access to any of their locations in the city, as well as 1/2 price cooler drinks and other VIPerks. Regardless of member level, you get a free t-shirt when you sign up. And talk about judgment-free: Planet Fitness hosts free pizza nights on Mondays and free bagel days on Tuesdays. It won't help you drop pounds, but it'll certainly help you feel like you're getting your money's worth.
Basic cost: $9.95/month and up
Crunch's cheapest locations are in Crown Heights and Bushwick, followed by Greenpoint. These locations are referred to as "essential" gyms, which means they won't be as tricked out (or expensive) as your standard Manhattan and Brooklyn locations. That said, the equipment is just as clean and they do offer 3-4 classes a day. Your basic plan includes one free personal training session; the $19.95/month peak membership allows you access to group classes, tanning services, and all essential locations.
It's all about getting swole and staying flush. via Crunch
Basic cost: $15/month and up
Additional fees: $51.20 (enrollment + annual fee)
Blink is the svelte discount version of elite sister gym, Equinox. It's designed with mood in mind, so if you need color on the walls while you run, this might be your best bet. The basic plan includes one free personal training session, and not much else. The $20 membership gives you access to classes. Blink bills on the 23rd instead of the 1st, which may help you even things out with rent and utility payments.
Otom Gym
Location: 169 Calyer Street, Greenpoint
Basic cost: $99/3 months
Additional fees: none
Otom is the indie underdog of the bunch, catered towards the percentage of the population that just wants to get swole. Open since the late 90s, it's got a loyal following of neighborhood juice-heads and health buffs. Adorned with weights, machines, and more weights, this a no-frills spot where you can just come in, work out, and leave. It doesn't get crowded, and there are classes, too. Plus, it's nice to be a member of a small, personalized gym against a landscape of mass-marketed franchise gyms. They always seem to be offering the same 3-month commitment deal, which includes all guest privileges.
Metropolitan Recreation Center
Location: 261 Bedford Avenue, Williamsburg
Basic cost: $25-$150/year
Total Monthly cost: $2.08-$12.50
Okay, we know we said no commitment. But the Metropolitan Recreation Center isn't like a regular gym, anyway, and you don't have to sign a contract or anything. You're just paying a lot upfront for the use of the space throughout the whole year. They also offer 6-month memberships. Young adults 18-24 get the $25/year deal. If you're just a boring old adult, you pay $150. Membership gives you access to fitness equipment, running tracks, indoor pools, game rooms… it really is a fully-fledged rec center. Classes are mostly for kids, but include some adult programming in the evenings. Bonus: an IDNYC card gets you a 10% discount on membership.
Basic cost: $50-75/month
Additional fees: 0-$100
Total monthly costs: vary by location
The YMCA is a national institution whose mission has more to do with family values than getting swole. Their gyms vary widely in membership cost (skewed to suit the income levels of various neighborhoods). The Bedford-Stuyvesant YMCA is the cheapest of the bunch, around $52/month after taxes. There's a $100 joiner's fee at every location, but seasonal promotions will usually waive that for you. The biggest benefits of a Y membership are convenience, community and classes. The cost is a little steeper than other options, but it's a do-good organization that does a great deal of charity work, so you can boost your karma knowing where your money is going.

I have barely finished my research and editorial piece on the McLaren 650S Coupe and Spider when I received more awesome news form the McLaren HQ – The 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 petrol engine has upheld the honour for McLaren Automotive, having won the '3-litre to 4-litre' category at the 2014 Engine of the Year awards. The success marks the second consecutive year McLaren has claimed the prestigious title, having been named the first new winner of the accolade for five years in 2013.
The M838T engine, designed and developed by McLaren in collaboration with Ricardo, has recently undergone significant changes to produce a class-leading 650PS and 678Nm of torque in the McLaren 650S Coupe and Spider. Acceleration from a standstill to 62mph (100 km/h) takes just 3.0 seconds, with no compromises to efficiency or emissions, returning 24.2 mpg (11.7 l/100km) on the combined cycle, emissions of just 275g/km, and no gas guzzler tax in North America.
The International Engine of the Year awards were presented at Engine Expo 2014, and voted for by an independent panel of leading automotive journalists from around the world.
Richard Farquhar, Head of Powertrain and Graham Langham, Engine Manager from McLaren Automotive received the award at a ceremony in Stuttgart, Germany.
Now I can get back to my feature on the McLaren 650S – diva is getting distracted with too many good news from the Automotive brands this week!

Has Adam Gase Does a Good Job with the 2019 Jets Offense in Games 1 and 2?
By Warfish, September 17, 2019 in New York Jets Message Board
1. Has Adam Gase Does a Good Job with the 2019 Jets Offense?
Yes, he has done good job because....
No, he has not done a good job because....

No. However, he's been coaching this team for 2 games. Expecting good numbers with this roster, after only 2 games, is not only ridiculous, it's insanely unreasonable.
Ummm, against Buffalo and Cleveland? Now on down the schedule I would agree.

It's amazing how many just abjectly refuse to evaluate the two games so far on their own merit. No one is getting fired yet nor anytime soon and there is no need for "more time" or incomplete grades to evaluate how he did as a coach in these two specific games. It's pretty obvious any reply for more time or incomplete is really a No vote anyway. I'm sure if he hung 30+ points on O. both weeks there wouldn't be such hesitation....
I think the point is that evaluating Gase at all after two games (especially given the circumstances) is mostly meaningless.

So I'm still having trouble with this line of reasoning, as it implies you cannot evaluate a Coach (or anyone) based on how they did in a single game.
Again, to repeat, not looking for or making a long-term evaluation. But are you of the view that no one can ever be evaluated for the job they did in a single game?
Lets use a different example, if Sam Darnold goes 2 for 32 for 6 yards, with 4 INT's in a game, would your reply be "we cannot evaluate this single game, we can only wait and evaluate over the course of a year or three?"
I suspect it's just a matter of how we each view the world. I'm just simply not one to make what I consider to be snap judgments. Am I pleased with the offense the first two weeks of the season? Short answer: No. But with Sam's illness, Herndon's suspension, Siemian and Enunwa's injuries, and the overall poor talent on that side of the ball, I'm not prepared at this time to lay it at the coach's feet. I don't know what coach could've gotten much more out of this depleted group.

Again, "snap judgement" implies we're making universal, overall, all encompassing type evaluations.
Let's try it a different way, because the obtuse here is just killing me.
Do you think our kickers, Vedvik and Ficken, have kicked well so far?
Do you believe that by answering this question you are "making a snap judgement"?
Am I pleased with the offense the first two weeks of the season? Short answer: No.
Good, we're making progress......
But with Sam's illness, Herndon's suspension, Siemian and Enunwa's injuries, and the overall poor talent on that side of the ball, I'm not prepared at this time to lay it at the coach's feet. I don't know what coach could've gotten much more out of this depleted group.
So reading the above, you are, in fact, pleased with the job Gase has done.
You say you do not believe any other coach could have gotten more out of the players and situations Gase was in. So if he literally did the best possible in the circumstances he was in, then clearly you do think he did a good job so far. Right?
It's perfectly ok if that is your honest answer. I just wish we didn't have to run through a dozen rounds of questions to get here.

Any and all fan "evaluation" is meaningless. It has no effect on anything.
Should we all stop posting and talking about the Jets? JN would get awful boring....
We have two games played. We thus have two actual games to discuss and evaluate, if we feel like evaluating.
If you don't feel like using your brain because it's too early to judge the two already completed games so far, that's cool too.
I am sure there is a "which cheerleader is the hottest" thread someplace to post in instead.

F' sake, I think some of you are being consciously and knowingly obtuse at this point.
I guess we can make the usual suspects happy and just not try to evaluate anything Gase does till 2022.
Maybe then we can talk about how he's doing.....you know, once he has weaponz.
No, I think this question is consciously and knowingly obtuse.
In week one, we had a bad offense led by a QB with mono. In week two, we had a bad offense led by the 3rd string QB.
We've scored one offensive TD in two weeks. It's just so shocking to me you can't find someone on the other side of this substantive debate to say, "this is good."
7 minutes ago, Warfish said:
The simple fact that our evaluations have no actual effect on anything doesn't make them meaningless. We all enjoy analyzing the sport we love - it's entertainment, and as a result, holds meaning to us.
However, the evaluation your poll is asking us to make is (mostly) meaningless because of: (A) A hopelessly small sample size, (B) Drastic extenuating circumstances which are hard to properly account for in our assessment.
To put it in the language you are comfortable with, the vast majority of the folks who have bothered to respond in this thread "don't feel like" evaluating Gase after only two games.

It's like I'm talking, and no one is actually listening.
The "sample size" is 100% of the population you've been asked to evaluate.
This thread is about Gase's coaching and those two games ONLY. How did he do in those two games ONLY as a Head Coach.
For **** sake, I feel like I'm being trolled at this point.
(B) Drastic extenuating circumstances which are hard to properly account for in our assessment.
Why are they hard to account for? They're all rather obvious and well known.
It does. And it says alot (IMO).
Good to hear!
No, I'm with everyone and anyone giving him an incomplete grade. I need to see more before giving the head coach a thumbs up or down. Sorry if that's incompatible with you needing an answer to your question at this moment, or if you feel that's being obtuse. I just don't have an answer right now. I don't know if it's just the personnel or if it's also the coach. Either way, the personnel is a huge factor.

I'm not sure what value there is in trying to evaluate a new coach in his first two games in which the first was led by a QB with mono and the second by a third string QB.
To the extent it has any value I am not thrilled with his planning around the O line. The O line performance is hardly affected by the QB behind it or any of the offensive injuries. If anything, the O line should have been given more help. Instead he left those edge rushers undefended. I get that his offensive scheme involves throwing out a lot of receivers and making quick passes but if the QB is not getting reasonable time to make short throws then the scheme needs to adapt. So far I haven't seen Gase do much to adapt and if he continues down that path then every team is just going to keep doing it. Forget scoring points--we will be lucky to avoid more QB injuries.

His offense is literally the reason where 0-2 right now . Defense played good enough to blow out the bills and good enough to make the Browns game competitive. But 11 points in 8 qtrs is a joke .

And let's take a look at week 2 Monday night:
—Trevor Siemian looked totally unprepared. Didn't know how to even audible when he saw a blitz or Garret with no OL even lining up in front of him
—vanilla playcalls every other play was a friggin screen play that the browns always recognized pre snap
—bad decisions like not taking the field goal at 16-3 in the 3rd quarter, next play was the OBJ 90 yard td
—the third string qb who had little to no interaction with Gase the days prior plays better than the starter who supposedly worked with Gase the entire week
I admit I was wrong I supported the Gase hire even though I wanted McCarthy. Gase is an idiot who thinks he knows everything like Mangini but worse. He needs to be fired and Williams promoted to HC

The Turgeon River is a tributary of the Harricana River that flows to the southern shore of James Bay. The Turgeon River is a river flowing mainly in the municipality of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James (municipality), in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in Quebec, in Canada.

Geography
The Turgeon River originates at Lake Turgeon (Eeyou Istchee Baie-James) (length:), which is located in the administrative region of Abitibi-Temiscamingue (southern part of the lake) and Nord-du-Québec (northern part of the lake). In its northwesterly course, the river flows , a priori south, west, and northwesterly, up to the confluence of the Boivin River coming from the south); then 3.5 km northwesterly to Orfroy Creek; then  northwest to the Ontario border.

The Turgeon River makes a  foray into Ontario where it catches the waters of the Burntbush River and the Patten River. Then the river bifurcates northeast to return to Quebec where it continues for ; then northwards along  along the interprovincial boundary (at an average distance of  to  from the border). In this last segment, the river crosses the Rivers-Forests Areas, where Kapipawesig Island is located, for .

From there, the river collects the waters of the Detour River before turning east and descending , forming a large loop to the south, to the confluence of the Wawagosic River. Then the river flows  east to the Harricana River. The mouth is located in the municipality of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James (municipality).

Main tributaries
 Leslie Creek (Quebec)
Boivin River (Quebec)
Burntbush River (Ontario)
Patten River (Quebec / Ontario)
Detour River (Ontario / Quebec)
Wawagosic River (Quebec)

Crossed cities
Villebois, Quebec
Valcanton, Quebec

History
Before the arrival of the explorers of European ancestry, these lands were inhabited by Algonquins. The region was covered with forests until the 1930s when a large number of unemployed fleeing the major Canadian cities struck by the global economic crisis arrived there in the hope of establishing themselves and rebuilding their lives.

At the time there was no road, so the people crossed the valley in barge, following the course of river.

Three parishes were founded there in the 1930s, namely Saint-Joachim-de-Beaucanton, Saint-Camille-de-Villebois and Saint-Ephrem-de-Val-Paradis. Today, Beaucanton and Val-Paradis have merged to become Valcanton, Quebec, and these villages are part of the huge municipality of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James (municipality), the largest in the world.

In the 1940s and 1950s, several covered bridges were built in the Turgeon Valley. Five can still be visited today: three on the Turgeon River and two on its tributaries.

Toponymy
The lake and the Turgeon River owe their name to the Minister of Lands and Forests of the time. The proclamation was made by the Honorable Adélard Turgeon in 1908. The first nations named him Nikikwatinipi (Lac Frimas). The name "rivière Turgeon" was officially registered on December 5, 1968, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec.

The Case of the Clergy
Edward C. Lehman Jr. - Author
SUNY series in Religion, Culture, and Society
"This is a very careful and scholarly study of the differences in leadership styles of women clergy and men clergy."
-- Ruth Wallace, George Washington University
"This book is a refreshing change in gender research. Theory and data gathering around gendered concerns have often only examined women. This text samples both women and men; therefore, it not only compares them but says something significant about both. What is significant here is that women and men are more alike than different. This conclusion challenges all feminist theorists (not just cultural feminists) to rethink theory and to ground theory in empirical work." -- Victoria Erickson, Union Theological Seminary in New York City
"The manner is which Lehman presents the theories about women's 'special nature' and ways of interacting with others and how these may relate to differences between clergywomen and clergymen is well done. The care which Lehman takes to describe the relationship between theory and the survey indicators of attitudes and actions he uses is equally good." -- Adair T. Lummis, Hartford Seminary
In this book, Lehman compares the ministry styles of women and men focussing on clergy of Protestant Congregations (ministers, clerics, preachers, and parsons). He offers strong statistical support for the trend toward increasing numbers of women in clerical roles. His book is the first to make direct comparisons between men and women on several dimensions of ministry style (using a national sample): interpersonal style, theology, career goals, thought forms, power and authority, and ethics.
Edward C. Lehman, Jr. is Professor of Sociology at the State University of New York, College at Brockport. He is the author of Women Clergy: Breaking Through Gender Barriers.

Iron Valley Real Estate opens second Lancaster County office
By: Shelby White
Iron Valley Real Estate is opening a new office in Manor Township, Lancaster County. - (Photo / Submitted)
Iron Valley Real Estate is taking a bigger leap into the Lancaster County residential brokerage market.
The Lebanon County company said today it opened a second office located at 1834 Oregon Pike, Suite 11 in Manheim Township, which it is leasing, said Melanie Musser, a co-owner of Iron Valley Real Estate.
Iron Valley originally dove into the Lancaster County market in June 2017 when it opened an office at 101 Millersville Road in Manor Township.
Beginning with four agents, the office has since grown to almost 40 agents in just over one year, Musser said.
During the course of its first year in Lancaster County, Iron Valley said it was approached by numerous agents about opening a second office location in Manheim Township, which is one of the most populous townships in Lancaster County.
Iron Valley Real Estate got its start in 2015 in Lebanon, since then it has opened offices in Allentown, Lancaster, Harrisburg, Halifax and Camp Hill.

The Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Sciences is a multidisciplinary degree that embodies the spirit of a liberal arts education, emphasizing comparative critical thinking, communication, and a broad range of methodologies and applied skills. As is true of many degree programs in the Liberal Arts and Sciences, students pursuing a Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Sciences are not specifically trained for a particular vocation or career path. Instead, graduates of the program bring the integration of multiple disciplinary perspectives, combined with critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills, to a variety of careers that value adaptability, flexibility, and innovation. Rather than training for a specific career, this degree offers a comprehensive and rigorous intellectual foundation for a lifetime of learning, preparing individuals to adapt to many different academic, personal, and professional paths.
In addition to the introductory and capstone courses, the degree consists of two possible emphases. The first emphasis, Paired Minors, requires students to complete two approved minors as their multidisciplinary major. The second emphasis, Peace Corps, allows students to choose from among approved courses with a focus on community development and international service. Both emphases offer students the opportunity to complete an internship as part of the major.
GradTrac is available to Liberal Arts and Science majors. See more information about GradTrac.
Integrated Baccalaureate and Master's Degree Program—An integrated baccalaureate and master's degree program is available for the Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Sciences: Master of Liberal Arts and Sciences. An integrated degree program provides the opportunity for outstanding undergraduates to earn both degrees in five years. Please refer to the Graduate Studies catalog for details about the integrated program.

Thermogate Zero compact thermographic scanner now on sale to the general public
2020-07-28 Tue 2020-07-28 Tue
Thermographic imaging, through cameras, scanners, or other devices, is an important screening technology that has been marshaled in the fight against the novel coronavirus. You may have seen these devices already installed in airports, in stores or in office buildings monitoring the surface temperature of customers or visitors to check for any signs of an elevated temperature.
While asymptomatic people without fevers may also be carriers, having a fever is one commonly recognized symptoms and a sign of potential infection. According to guidelines issued by the Japanese government, anyone with a temperature in excess of 37.5 C (99.5 F) for more than four consecutive days should be tested for the virus.
While big companies and stores have the room and the budget to purchase and install thermographic imaging cameras or scanners, it may be out of reach for small businesses, offices or nursing homes.
Fortunately, now there's a compact and affordable solution on the market.
The Thermogate Zero
© PR Times, Inc.
Made by Tokyo-based Pebble Corporation Inc., the Thermogate Zero already sold over 3,000 units since July 1st in the first run of private orders. Now, as of July 27th, 2020, it is available for sale to the general public.
Due to its compact size, it can easily be adapted to various situations:
Door-mounted
At the office, you can attach it to conference rooms and waiting room doors as well as doors leading to the reception desk and the entrance of offices. Easy to install, Thermogate Zero protects the safety of employees and customers and can be a useful tool for companies seeking to manage the health of their employees.
Wall-mounted and table stand-mounted
You can also mount it on walls or on a stand placed on a table or surface at disinfection stations or other entry points where you wish to screen or monitor for temperature.
Why buy a Thermogate Zero?
It's equipped with a reliable non-contact temperature sensor manufactured by OMRON, a global manufacturer of health and medical equipment. When it detects a set temperature of 37.5 degrees or higher, the LED of the terminal lights up and an alarm sounds.
It requires no installation. Simply attach the magnets with double-sided tape and you're ready to go. No expensive attachments or dedicated stands are required.
Extremely affordable price of ¥29,800 per unit (excluding tax). Since the Thermogate Zero focuses exclusively on body temperature detection function, Pebble Corporation was able to develop the device in a relatively short period of time and keep the price low. At this price, you can install multiple units and implement stronger safety measures.

Despite being favourites to top group B, England managed to finish second in the group behind Wales after winning one and drawing two of their games. Following an emotionally charged clash with Russia that ended 1-1, England eked out a 2-1 win over Wales, but Slovakia held them to a scoreless draw. The failure to win their final group game has put them on the same side of the draw as Germany, Italy, Spain and France.
After being dropped against Slovakia, Harry Kane is expected to regain his place for this game with Daniel Sturridge in contention with Jamie Vardy for a starting berth up front. Manager Roy Hodgson is also expected to recall Tottenham wingbacks Kyle Walker and Danny Rose into the starting line-up. Adam Lallana is an injury doubt after damaging his ankle in training and could be replaced by Jordan Henderson, with Dele Alli moved in a more offensive position.
Iceland came through Group F as runners up to Hungary with Portugal finishing third in that quartet. They started with a 1-1 draw against Portugal and then played out another 1-1 draw with Hungary, a game they led heading into the final two minutes. Finally, the Icelanders sealed their place in the knockout stages with a stoppage-time 2-1 win over Austria last time out. They have lost just once in their last six matches overall which was a 3-2 loss away to Norway in a friendly.
Iceland have no major injury concerns. Alfred Finnbogasson is back after being suspended for the last group game but Kolbeinn Sigthorsson and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson are expected to lead the line. As consequence, the duo Lars Lagerback & Heimir Hallgrimsson is likely to start with the same line-up that started last time out. Furthermore, midfielder Arnor Ingvi Traustason, who scored the winner last time out is likely to start the game on the bench.
England (4-3-1-2): Hart – Walker, Cahill, Smalling, Rose – Dier, Henderson, Rooney – Alli - Kane, Vardy.
Iceland (4-4-2): Halldorsson – Saevarsson, Arnason, R.Sigurdsson, Skulason – Gudmundsson, Bjarnasson, G. Sigurdsson, Bjarnason – Sigthorsson, Bodvarsson.

The Log of Infant Jesus is a millenarian tradition that's still alive, in this bleach of the 3rd milenium, in many places in the country-side and in all parishes of Idanha-a-Nova, as the presented photos, taken in December 2005 in Proença-a-Velha, are a good example.
Log, strump, trunk, andiron, "galheiro", fire, or simply Christmas fire, are names by which continue to be known in Portugal these vestiges of sacred rituals, that in antiquity were made in Winter solstice, when our ancestors lit fires in homage and prayer to the Sun, so it shine again strong and sovereign, after a period where cold, blackout and darknesses seemed to toke care of nature.
Pagan rituals that survived several centuries of social, religious and political transformations, and that still last today, in these borderer lands, in a full integration with christian rituals and traditions, as if they originate from it!
It's on Christmas Eve, in the night of Christmas supper, that the Log is lighted, so that the just-born God (the Sun of primitive peoples, Jesus of actual Christians), can be heated in this cold and frozen night, while young boys, around the fire or scouring the village streets, celebrate and sing hymns in Its glory!
But, if it's true that's in the night of 24th that the old Log is lighten, that it should light until New Year's Eve, this is not, however, the Day of the Log! In the great majority of these villages the Day of the Log it's the 8th of December, the day where ceremoniously it enters the village, with people adhering in an enthusiastic form, applauding and celebrating its passage, incorporating and participating, as if this was a procession!
The entire population participates, but the organization of the Log belongs, according to tradition, to the single boys, young men of "lucks", those that in that year give their name to join the national troop! And, if is in troop that boys became men, as today people still say, we're here, without a doubt, in presence of an iniciation ritual, a fire and force proof of these "influents" of the Log, as they are called in Proença, in their passage to the group of men! Rituals of other ritual.
In this forgotten and desert interior, due to the lack of "lucks" boys, the oldest assume the organisation responsibility, so that the ritual is kept and tradition persists!
"Festum Osirid Nati" in old Egipt, "Wakening of Melqarth" in old Phenitia, "Natalis Solis invicti" in old Rome, are the ancestors of our actual "Log", as also are the "Ceppo" of Italy, the "Tréfoir" of France, the "Yule Clog" of England, or the Christmas fires of Letonia! The fire, the heat and the light of men, as an homage to fire, heat and Celestial light!
