Fitness World – Fees and much more

Fitness world is one of your easiest choice if you are looking for some place to train your body and use its facilities. I have decided to select a gym on June this year. So I have paid a visit to fitness world. It is located down the Capilano road, some place near the border of north van and west vancouver. You would be accompanied by a lady to tour the place. She tries to babble as much as she can and persuade that she is part of one of the greatest place in the world. At the end, you are feeling that, wow I have been missing this place from my childhood, why haven’t I been here since my birth :-P.
Anyhow, after a long discussion with the lady, this is what I got as fees for fitness world. The rate she was offering was said to be for the students only. However, I believe she can count anyone as a student.
They have different packages, each packages has their own definition. It begin with Platinum, gold, silver and Bronze.
Bronze is the one with nothing extra, you can only use the facility. Other ones are like giving you some training sessions, some trainers to watch you or someone to coach you. I guess doing those is not that hard.
Platinum Gold Silver Bronze
First Month 104 104 104 104
Per Month for first 12 Months 156 131 62 50
Per Month for second 12 Months 29 29 62 50
After that 29 29 29 29

The rates (fees) you are seeing at the table above are the official rates. However, I got the below rates after a 15 min talk with the lady.
Platinum Gold Silver Bronze
First Month 65 65 65 65
Per Month for first 12 Months 128 108 54 42
Per Month for second 12 Months 26 26 54 42
After that 26 26 26 26

So take a look at these rates, then decide if you want to go to a fitness world for a training or not.
The package description are as follow:
Platinum Package:
  • Includes 12 Personal Training Sessions
  • Include EX nutrition plan
Gold Package:
  • Include 12 Personal Training Session
Silver Package:
  • Plus EZ weight loss and nutrition plan
Bronze Package:
  • nothing more!

Bluehost is upgrading his hosts

I've got a new email today from Bluehost regarding its new features upgrade.

This is what I've got in email. It won't affect my performance but I guess whoever uses Ruby on Rails would greatly be in trouble.



In the next 72 hours we will be upgrading the server 1vancouverite..com is hosted on from CentOS 4.7 to 5.3. We expect for the upgrade to take approximately 1.5 - 2 hours to complete. Most users will not be impacted by this upgrade, however several key items will be updated:

* Ruby on Rails

* GCC

* ImageMagick

Continue reading for more information regarding these application/utilitity updates:

Ruby on Rails

If you are actively using a Ruby on Rails application, we encourage you to freeze your gems.

Freezing Ruby Gems prevents your Ruby on Rails application from automatically upgrading its Gems whenever a new version appears on the host. This allows you to control which Gems versions are run on your hosting account. The following command, run in your dev environment, unpacks the current system Gems into the rails directory:

rake rails:freeze

After this method runs, your application will not be affected by host Gem updates.

GCC

GCC will be updated to 4.1.2. If you have compiled any applications/utilities against GCC, we encourage you to recompile these after the upgrade has been completed

ImageMagick

ImageMagick will be updated to version 6.2.8. This upgrade will bring new features for graphic manipulation, most notably seen in image galleries.

We strongly encourage all users of Fantastico and Simple Scripts to bring all their applications to current. If you are unfamiliar with any of these programs mentioned as part of the upgrade, or are unsure if this upgrade will affect you, we suggest you make sure all your applications are recent. If you are not the developer of your website or are using applications not provided through Cpanel, please check with the developer of that application or your site. You may want to forward this email to them for referral.

Numerous other packages are being upgraded as a result of this major OS update. Should you experience any problems as a result of this update, please contact support for assistance.

Michael Jackson - Give In To Me

Give In To Me lyrics

She always takes it with a heart of stone
'Cause all she does is throw it back to me
I've spent a lifetime looking for someone
Don't try to understand me
Just simply do the things I say

Love is a feeling
Give it when I want it
'Cause I'm on fire
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Talk to me, woman
Give in to me
Give in to me

You always knew just how to make me cry
And never did I ask you questions why
It seems you get your kicks from hurting me
Don't try to understand me
Because your words just aren't enough

Love is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Takin' me higher
Love is a woman
I don't wanna hear it
Give in to me
Give in to me

You and your friends
Were laughing at me in town
But it's OK
And it's OK
You won't be laughin', girl
When I'm not around
I'll be OK
And I'm, I'm not fine
Gotta have some peace of mind, No

Don't try to tell me
because your words just aren't enough

Love is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Takin' me higher
Talk to me, woman
Love is a feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me

Love is the Feeling
I don't wanna hear it
Quench my desire
Takin' me higher
Tell it to the preacher
Satisfy my feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me

I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna dream now
Take me to the fire
Talk to me, woman
Quench my desire
Not like a lady
Talk to me, Baby
Give in to me

Give in to the fire
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me

Love is a woman
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me

'Cause I'm on fire
Talk to me, woman
Quench my desire
Give in to the feeling
