In the mid-nineties, Manfred was one of the top strongmen on the circuit, and a contender for the title of World’s Strongest Man. He was Austrian (form the same town as Arnie in fact), six foot five, and 325 pounds of solid muscle – not an ounce of fat.
At the time he was said to possess the largest muscular arms in the world at twenty six inches in circumference!
About half of them sounded like they were taken verbatim from an SNL Hans and Franz sketch. On one notable occasion, in ’93, Ol’ Manny was having a hard time recovering from a vehicle pull, and the show’s coverage took a statement from an onsite doctor, who described his condition as a symptom of *sheer size*.
In it is contained the essence of what I call *coachability*. Unless you’re coachable, you’re not a candidate for transformation – of the body, or otherwise.
Anytime I find myself resisting coaching/mentoring/professional advice, I ask (1) how much do I trust the source of the information, and (2) am I being coachable? If the person is good to listen to on the subject in question (i.e. has a proven track record), I think ‘what have I got to lose’ and give it a whirl. This built in truth meter has allowed me to make leaps that would never have occurred otherwise.
A great mentor once told me, “success is easy. Find someone who’s already successful at what you want to do, and learn from them.”

This week I read a story about how the Newfoundland minimum wage was going up to $9.50 an hour, and how a local business leader thinks that this is a mistake.
For some reason, people think that price controls on things are a good idea, even though there are very few instances where a price control has actually benefitted people.
why do I refer to price controls? Because minimum wage is a price control. It is a minimum price set on a particular resource that businesses must have in order to function. Without employees, most businesses cease to exist, so an increase in the price of labour will increase the costs for all businesses that must have labour.
Like all price controls, this one seems like a good idea on the face of it. After all, who doesn’t want to have more money? The problem is that it is only a good idea in the short term, as there are effects to such a decision.
Businesses make profits by charging customers a slightly higher price than they pay out in costs. Costs include things like the place the business is (rent), the raw materials needed to produce the product, and labour. when the costs increase, the business must make decisions to continue making a profit or go out of business.
The business could charge more to the consumer. This could be possible since consumers have more money now, due to the increased minimum wage (resulting in inflation, and eliminating the benefit to people who got the raise in the first place so that they could afford more). This will not always happen, though, since most businesses have competition. The competition would use a price increase to (if possible) undercut their competition, and so make more money off of increased sales.
This leads to the businesses other option in maintaining profits. The business can cut costs. It can do this in a number of ways, but with an increased minimum wage (which only affects businesses that hire minimum wage, and hence low-skilled, workers), the most obvious ways to lower price is to either hire fewer people or relocate to a place in which there is a lower minimum wage. This increases unemployment.
If the company cannot cut costs or raise prices, they will go bankrupt, also adding to unemployment.
With increased unemployment, the government is forced to pay out more in unemployment benefits, meaning that the government will need to increase the amount they take in from workers, or lower the benefits they get (or borrow more money, putting the problem off on future generations).
Of course, it’s also bad for workers, and is simply a bad way of getting to the goal of better wages for people, but I’ll talk about that tomorrow.

A lawn mower is a machine that uses one or more revolving blades to cut a lawn to an even height. The blades may be powered either by hand; pushing the mower forward to operate the mechanical blade, or may have an electric motor or an internal combustion engine to spin their blades. Some mowers also include other abilities, like mulching or collecting their clippings.
The size of the Greenworks 25022 is just right. The deck is 20 inches. Its big enough to mow a decent sized lawn but still lets me mow in thous hard to get areas with out the need to use a grass trimmer.
The Husqvarna All-Wheel Drive family of mowers allows the user to easily handle hills, thick grass and tough terrain. All-wheel drive technology provides simultaneous power to all 4 wheels giving the operator maximum control and maneuverability. These rugged mowers feature a heavy-duty steel deck and powerful engine options.
The Husqvarna HU725F is a 22-inch front wheel drive self propelled mower which features a 3-in-1 cutting system (mulch, side discharge and rear bag), 190 cc Briggs & Stratton 725EX Series Engine, 7.25 gross torque rating and CARB Compliant.
Lawnmower manufacturers and retailers have, on the whole, made extensive efforts to produce machines that are as safe as possible to use. Even so, ultimately a mower consists of some form of high speed cutting device and inevitably, if you are careless or perhaps unlucky, disaster can arise.
There is no one set of safety instructions that covers all types of such machinery. Each manufacturer will produce a set of safety guidelines relating to a specific make and model. It really does make sense to read these carefully rather than simply throw them into the drawer unopened in your eagerness to get out and use your new piece of equipment.
Lawnmower blades are the most important part of the lawnmower. Sharpening them regularly can enable them to do their job quickly and efficiently. In this article, you will learn how to sharpen your lawnmower blades safely and quickly.
Two different types of steel are used in creating lawnmower blades. One kind of steel is called mild or carbon steel and the other is known as tool steel. Tool steel lawnmower blades stay sharp for a much longer period of time than the other steel and they do not need to be sharpened as frequently. This blade is quite expensive and it must be professionally sharpened. Carbon or mild steel blades are inexpensive and are easier to keep sharpened. It is essential to keep lawnmower blades sharp or the glass blades will tear, rather than being neatly cut. This both looks ugly and causes the grass to grow abnormally, because the grass cannot retain moisture.
In most cases, sharpening your lawnmower blades yourself very simply and easily. It will not take very long either. By following the directions below, you will be able to sharpen the blades of your particular lawnmower. All you need to do is consult your operation manual for directions to remove your lawnmower's blades.
1. The power source needs to be removed from the lawnmower. If your lawnmower is electric, then you simply pull out the wall cord. If it is gasoline powered, then you need to remove the spark plug. A battery operated lawnmower just needs the batteries removed. If you skip this step, you can cause serious injuries to yourself or death.
2. A spanner can help you to remove the blades. Ensure that the spanner does not slip or you may cut yourself.
3. When removing the blades from the lawnmower, you may want to number them so that you can replace them exactly as they were. The balancing weights need to stay attached to the blades or you may find that refitting the blades will be made much more difficult.
5. Use a file or grinder to sharpen the blade. Sharpen the blade by following the contour of the blade. Check to make sure that they are as sharp as you need, but be careful with your fingers.
7. You can sharpen the blades with them still in position in the lawnmower if you choose. You only have to use a flexible shaft angle grinder. You can save yourself time and energy if you have one of these grinders in your workshop.
8. Use a blade balancer to make sure that the blades are balanced. If the blades are not balanced, then the lawnmower may vibrate.
Take proper care of your lawnmower blades to help make the process of caring for your lawn easier and simpler.
