I provide quick, professional critiques focused on giving constructive feedback to writers of all experience levels and genres; however, I specialize in providing the following services for authors of young adult fiction:
* Line Edits
* Substantive Edits
*Full Manuscript Edits
*Social Media Platform Building
*Literary Agent Query Preparation
Please contact me to discuss your project before sending. Generally, I like to meet the author and discuss his/her/their vision for the manuscript prior to agreeing to provide editorial support. My preferred place for meeting is at the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis; however, if you are not a Minnesota resident, we can speak on the phone or via Skype.
And now for The Deets:
After I have agreed to provide critique for your manuscript, you will be given quote for the project. You may send payment through Square's Virtual Terminal on my Square Online Store by clicking on the image below:
Please note: all critiques include in-depth editorial letters and thorough line-editing of your work. Critiques can be done electronically or in hard copy. I require:
- A properly formatted manuscript in Word (double spaced, 12pt readable font, numbered pages, contact information and word count on page 1).
- A SASE large enough and with enough postage to return the full manuscript to you along with a critique letter if your manuscript is sent via Snail Mail. (Again, you may send your manuscript to the address listed above.)
I will email you upon receiving your manuscript and payment to let you know they arrived safely. Then, within 2-3 weeks, I will mail/email you:
- A 1-2 page editorial letter giving my general response to your story—its strengths, and the major areas in which it could grow.
- Your line-edited manuscript, marked with comments indicating specific places where your writing is at its best, and suggesting changes in places where the text could be stronger. Emailed manuscripts will be line-edited using "track changes" in Microsoft Word.
- I may also suggest published books that you could study to help you with your piece, or writing craft books that might have useful information for you.
After you have digested my suggestions, I like to meet again (in person, preferably, or via phone of Skype if not possible). No one knows your story better than you and I provide this complementary post-critique meeting to give you a chance to ask questions, seek clarification, brainstorm future steps for your novel, or discuss other ways I can be of assistance to you.
Congratulations on taking a huge step to honor your creative self and invest in your writing!
What other aspiring writers are saying…
"Juliann's input was critical in helping me see into my character. After working with her, I feel like the people in my books have become real to me in a way they never were before. Writing is so much more fun now because it's like hanging out with my best friends!"
~ Amber L.
"Best thing I ever did was hire Juliann to critique my manuscript. She's tough but kind and I did need her to remove my adult voice and let the kids in my book talk. She gave me great feedback in a manner I could listen to and use. And guess what? I just landed a lit agent! YAY! Thank you, Juliann!"
~Sarah G.
"Juliann is just a bundle of energy, creativity, fun, and pure brain power. She has an intuitive sense of the story and pointed out exactly where my plot was sluggish and I was risking losing readers. Her suggestions were great and they really breathed life into the second act of my book. I finally feel ready to send my book out to agents. Fingers crossed!"
~ Laura J.
"I can't say enough good things about working with Juliann. I sent my manuscript off to her and worried like a Mama sending her son to Kindergarten for the first day. My book is my baby. Know what I mean? I worried it would be picked on or picked apart or that I'd somehow get called to the Principal's Office and told my baby was misbehaving! I didn't need to worry. Juliann's editorial letter was exactly what I needed. Filled with great insights suggestions for improvement as well as affirming the good things my book has going for it. Most of all, though, I laughed out loud at her crazy funny comments in track changes! She made the process a ton of fun and my manuscript a better book. Thanks, Juliann!"

First Minister Arlene Foster has said that she takes a "benign view" of the Taoiseach's comments on the EU referendum, rather than view them as interfering in the UK's affairs.
But Mrs Foster's remarks, which followed Enda Kenny's intervention in London on Monday, put her at odds with another senior DUP figure.
Former finance minister Sammy Wilson, who is the most hawkish DUP voice on Europe, was yesterday scathing about Mr Kenny's remarks – and argued that they constituted an "invasion of our affairs".
Mr Kenny said on Monday that a UK exit from Europe would create "serious difficulties" for Northern Ireland and said that the issue was of "critical" importance to the Republic.
In a hard-hitting statement which was released by Mr Wilson himself, rather than via the DUP press office, the East Antrim MP said accused the pro-EU campaign of adopting scare tactics.
He said: "No doubt Enda Kenny's ludicrous and totally inappropriate invasion of our affairs after his meeting with the PM is part of the scare campaign."
Mr Wilson accused Mr Kenny of adopting the "absurd" claim that leaving the EU could jeopardise peace in Northern Ireland.
He added: "Such an argument treats us all with contempt. Does he think he is talking to morons who will react like Pavolov's dogs just because the 'Peace Process' is invoked as an argument as to why we should stay in the EU?
"I suppose the only value of his intervention is that it highlights the depths to which the increasingly desperate Europhiles will stoop to in this referendum campaign."
But, speaking to the BBC on Tuesday, Mrs Foster sounded significantly less angry about the Taoiseach's comments.
"It is for the people of the UK to decide what's the best way forward and, as you know, we don't take too kindly to people telling us what to do," she said.
"I'm saying to Enda, if you have an opinion, that's your right to have that opinion and if you want to express it, that's your right as well, but we here in Northern Ireland will make our own determination in relation to Europe."
When asked if Mr Kenny's remarks constituted "interfering" (as Mr Wilson claimed), Mrs Foster said: "You could interpret them as interfering, but I prefer to take the benign view that he is expressing his views."
Ukip Northern Ireland leader David McNarry accused Mr Kenny of "wild assertions and false claims".
But SDLP leader Column Eastwood claimed that the DUP response to Mr Kenny's remarks indicated that the party was being "disrespectful" to farmers who get EU subsidies.

Long zoom for an ultracompact camera. Lots of options. Variety of flash modes. Very good performance. Very good video capabilities.
Some shutter lag. Some purple fringing in test shots. Zoom skimps on the wide-angle end of the range. Expensive.
Bottom Line
Although there were a few issues with the Casio Exilim EX-V7, this versatile ultracompact point-and-shoot definitely ups the feature-set ante for cameras its size.
Casio's new Exilim EX-V7 is one of the first 7X optical, 7.2-megapixel ultracompacts with image stabilization, to hit the market. The introduction of this advanced and stylish camera proves Casio has plenty of game, especially in the point-and-shoot space, where the company consistently strives to innovate. Even better, the EX-V7 has a nice design, reminiscent of some of Sony's striking compacts. That said, the Exilim doesn't quite measure up in a few key areas.
For one, it's pricey. Even with a dock, the camera should cost a little less than $399.99 list. The EX-V7 uses a lens with a powerful 7X optical zoompossessing a zoom range of 6.3mm to 44.1mm (which is equivalent to a 35mm lens with a 38mm to 266mm zoom) with f-stops of f/3.4 to f/5.3. But I'd like to see more at the wide-angle end of the range. (A Casio rep told me recently, however, that increasing the wide angle would require making the camera bigger.) Last, I'm not crazy about the vertically oriented zoom control, because my finger kept slipping off it.
That said, there's a lot I did like about this camera. As I've found in the past, Casio devices are very good at shooting video, and the EX-V7 is no exception. It uses H.264 MPEG-4 encoding (storing video as .MOV files), which gives you very good quality and lets you store more video on your memory card than with older video formats.
Depending on which Movie mode you use, you can store videos to the capacity of the card at 30 frames per second. Audio is recorded in stereo, too, and sounded pretty good for such a small camera. When using the highest quality setting, the UHQ Wide mode, the files are just slightly larger than with VGA, at 848-by-480. Like the Casio EX-S770, the EX-V7 has short-movie and past-movie modes that let you capture a little bit of the action just before you press the shutter. It also automatically changed exposure quite well. Some of the color on the final images was a tad washed out, though.
Of course, I definitely appreciate the 7X optical-zoom lens. What I like most about the EX-V7's optics is that it uses a nontelescoping lensmeaning the lens doesn't extend out when you turn the camera on. This construction also speeds bootup time. The camera supports the newer SDHC memory cards, which is also nice.
The EX-V7 has a ton of scene modes, some of them practical ones, such as the business-card mode, which automatically straightens card photos if they're taken at an angle. (Just be sure to have a dark backgroundthe camera had problems when I shot a white card on a white table.)
I liked the variety of flash modes as well, which includes a burst mode and three different flash options. You could also alter the amount of illumination set off by the flash (available in five levels) or you could just switch it to a soft flash mode, which gives you less illumination. There's even a super-easy "dummy" mode, for those who want to avoid setting anything.
Like many point-and-shoots, the camera offers higher ISOs than I've seen on models in previous years. The EX-V7 goes up to 800 ISO. Still, that setting delivers somewhat noisy results.
Interestingly, the Exilim boasts a couple of AF tracking features, something I haven't really seen on point-and-shoot models. One tracks your subject within a frame and then takes a shot so that it always centers your subject within that framealthough the resulting image is just 3MP, instead of a full 7MP shot. Another option tracks your subject so that it's always in focus, whether it's in the center of the frame or in the corner. Unfortunately, this feature didn't follow subjects as closely as I'd like. Even slow-moving people were able to move out of the green tracking square on the LCD.
The LCD is a nice 2.5 inches one, but it solarizes rather quickly when held at an angle. And with no glass viewfinder, the camera may be difficult to use on bright, sunny days, when the sunlight washes out the display.
During my hands-on testing, daylight shots contained some noise, and the flash revealed a bit more colored noise than I'd like to see. Color was accurate and vibrant, though. I did see a smidgen of noticeable purple fringing in my test images. Still, the dynamic range was quite good, with strong contrast that didn't block up details. In my flash test shots, I found that the Exilim's strobe delivered just the right amount of illumination without blowing out the images. You could also adjust the flash, which comes in handy when the lens is zoomed in all the way.
The camera's resolution averaged 1,625 lines, which is very sharp for a 7.2MP camera. It took just 2 seconds to boot up and to recycle from one shot to the next, both of which are very good times. But in my testing, I found there was some noticeable shutter lag. I also observed some pincushion distortion at the telephoto end of the zoom range, plus the usual barrel distortion at the wide-angle end. This type of thing is common in nontelescoping lenses, but still it's not desirable. But the image stabilization worked well enough in bright light and especially well in low light, keeping pictures from being blurry.
Although the Casio Exilim EX-V7 has a lens that doesn't thrill me and is more expensive than it should be, this slick little shooter has a boatload of cool features and swift performance. All in all, it's a pretty compelling ultracompact.

Hello! Valentine's Day is at the end of this week so I made a few fun V-day cards this weekend to share with you this week. Today's card uses My Silly Valentine, an older Lawn Fawn set but one of my favorite ones for Valentine's Day.
To make the tone on tone background I stamped the banana image in Butter Bar ink on Daffodil yellow paper from Hero Arts. I cut the scalloped circle from some new Hello Sunshine paper and layered it behind a white card stock circle. I used a Signo gel pen to create the faux stitching around the circle in a color that matched my stamped hearts and I finished off by accenting my hearts with pink stickles.
On another note…Check out FREE SHIPPING on the Valentine's Mini Stamp at Studio Calico. Great last minute item to make your own Valentine's Day gifts and cards. No code necessary. The stamp MUST be the only item in the order to qualify for free shipping. Offer expires 2/11/14 at 11:59pm eastern.
Thanks for stopping by today!

There arose in the Singapore Cafe resentment against Fabrication About The PAP's post with regards to opposition MP Sylvia Lim's contention of the proposed Family court in parliament.
Resentment against FAP isn't something new nor novel, but this is something which I like to share some thinking but not to get into some meaningless debates with meddlers at the Singapore Cafe.
The contention is FAP strikes Slyvia Lim without giving due consideration to the key context found in the whole of her speech which was reproduced in WP's website http://wp.sg/2014/08/debate-on-family-justice-bill-mp-sylvia-lim/. There is really no telling whether the FAP admin did or did not read the article in its entire before making the "photoshoped" comment.
The point here is not about defending FAP, reasonable or otherwise.
It is about how we look at context and apply treatment to it.
The bone really is whether the Family Court should be conducted closed door or open itself to the media for public scrutiny. Is there not a provision for the process to be opened at the court's discretion?
They key argument that Sylvia Lim and those who bought her story over at The Singapore Cafe relies on is that the Family Court will normally function in closed door unless ordered otherwise is a departure from the open court concept of the other courts. The supportive argument is that the Juvenile Court allows the presence of news agencies in its hearing of youths in trouble.
Further supportive arguments to push her point, she questioned why shouldn't family matters be opened for public scrutiny. She believes correct and accurate reporting of such cases would enable the public to have a better understanding of family laws and how the Family Court operates. At the same time she too acknowledges that there exist media who would also otherwise sensationalize the reporting, though without mentioning what consequences that may bring about nor how to rectify the damage done if rectifying is ever possible,
Thus I am not sure whether Sylvia Lim and those in cohort of this case are arguing as a matter or principle or for the sake of argument.
They have selfishly placed the rigid way of how they think a court should operates above the tender fragility and sensitivity of family affairs, and allow person to person relationships to be rampaged in the open possibly resulting in irreparable hurt and damages to family and children.
It is not that the court has no room to flexibly manouevre where public interest may be a concern, and neither are cases concerning youths in trouble the same as family issues. Cases of youths in trouble are mainly brought about when a young person committed a crime, and public interest is always present in such cases. In contrast, family cases are largely civil cases about personal relationships.
So I deemed Sylvia Lim and her cohort are a cruel and selfish lot only out to satisfy their thirst for having their way no matter at what cost to others.

About this model:
The Gipos has a very wide out line but is still ultra responsive.
It keeps its speed, floats well and will still let you bang off big turns. Out of all the fish in our line this board surfs the most like a shortboard. Basically, what we did was add some characteristics of our shortboards into a compact, shorter, wider, and stubbier fish that is still able to go mach 10 and whip in the pocket.
The Gipos is part of the family 4.

For a very long time, there have been attempts to find out what will be the next project from Rocksteady Studios. It's been quite a long spell of speculations related to what's coming up from the makers of the Batman: Arkham trilogy. The gossip mill got a lot more to ponder over when the game developer released a simple picture today.
Rocksteady Studios shared a random image of its motion capture team, which was on a break after a work session, and struck a pose for the camera. You can check Rocksteady's tweet below, which is simply captioned as:
"Rocksteady's unofficial mocap support crew, fresh from a test shoot."

This, however, proves that there is something cooking, but, they are not letting us smell it just yet. Since it involves motion picture, it might just be some kind of an action game similar to the Batman trilogy.
Fans have started guessing on what this new thing will be, coming up with various pictures. Most of them are related to the Batman/Superman range, indicating that it might be a Justice League game coming up or something similar to that. Have a look at some of the fan speculations below:

A flash game would be dope pic.twitter.com/U3Wv4YDZpT
— Romell C. (@Gimme_20_Dollaz) January 16, 2018
And then, of course, there is the possibility that the team is creating a totally new game because that's not unprecedented in the gaming industry. We had already seen how the Ninja Theory team worked on a lot of projects involving third parties before they decided to leave all that and create its own game Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, a game that flourished due to its virtual aesthetics, emotional elements and fantastic gameplay. Is it possible that Rocksteady is headed down that alley?
It is not yet the right time to be sure of, but, since they are already doing some motion capture thing, we are probably going to get more updates on what's happening at Rocksteady, and we will share the updates with you once further details come out.
As of now, we can only behave like the guy in the GIF below and take a shot at what they could be up to.

Photoshop's Smart Filters
One of the most important concepts to keep in mind when working with Photoshop's filters is Smart Filters. When you apply a filter to a pixel layer, that's it — the pixels are changed. But, when you apply a filter to a Smart Object, you create a Smart Filter.
With Smart Filters, you can apply one or more filters to a Smart Object and later change your mind about what settings — or even what filters — to use, without reverting to a saved copy of the file or using the History panel. Unlike adjustment layers, which are, in fact, separate layers in the image, Smart Filters work more like layer styles.
They appear in the Layers panel below the layer to which they're applied and can be shown or hidden by clicking an eyeball icon. (See this figure.) And, like layer styles, you can reopen a Smart Filter by double-clicking it in the Layers panel.
As you can see in the figure, the layer Inside Passage-02 (the active layer, highlighted in the Layers panel) has both layer effects and Smart Filters applied. The type layer above has only layer effects, whereas the other two Smart Objects, below in the Layers panel, have Smart Filters but no layer effects.
Clicking the triangle to the far right of a layer name expands and collapses the list of effects and filters applied. Clicking the eyeball icon to the left of an item hides it without removing it.
You can delete a Smart Filter by dragging it to the Trash icon (just as you can with layer effects), which removes its effect from the Smart Object. To reopen a filter's dialog box to change settings, simply double-click the filter name in the Layers panel.
Smart Filters can be applied only to Smart Objects. Luckily, you can convert any pixel-based layer, even a background layer, to a Smart Object simply by selecting that layer in the Layers panel and choosing Layer→Smart Objects→Convert to Smart Object. You can even select multiple layers in the Layers panel and create a single Smart Object with that command.
You can then apply a Smart Filter to all of the layers in the Smart Object. If you later need to alter the content of the Smart Object itself, double-click it in the Layers panel. The Smart Object's contents opens in a separate image window.
After making the necessary changes, use the Save command (not Save As) and then close the window. The Smart Object will be updated in your artwork and any Smart Filters will be reapplied.
Because you can easily remove or change Smart Filters, they provide you with a special sort of creative license: the license to experiment and change your mind.
Because they are nondestructive (they don't make permanent changes to the pixels in your image), you can use Smart Filters without fear of damaging your image. Of course that doesn't mean you shouldn't work on a copy of your beautiful photo — it's always better to safeguard the original image file and work on a duplicate.

Rashida Tlaib Accuses Dem Leadership Of Racism, Says Pelosi Uses Minority Members As 'Tokens Of Diversity'
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) lashed out at Democrats — not Republicans — yesterday, in the wake of crticism leveled at Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for minimizing the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks, accusing Dem leadership, including Speaker of the Houes Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), of racism, and using Congressional colleagues of color as "tokens of diversity."
Fox News reports that Tlaib "claimed in a Twitter message Saturday that she and other minority members of the party have been used as tokens whenever the party wants to project an image of inclusiveness."
She joined a number of Islamic activists on Twitter who were accusing Pelosi, who Tweeted that 9/11 was "sacred ground," of not doing enough to defend Omar against what they felt were unfair attacks over comments she made that "some people did something" on September 11th.
Omar's comments were, it seems, meant to allege that Muslims across the globe have been discriminated against and mistreated in the wake of the September 11th attacks — a point she was trying to use to justify her opposition to what she calls President Donald Trump's "Muslim ban," a travel restriction that prevents travelers from countries that actively sponsor and bankroll terrorist organizations from obtaining even temporary visas to visit the United States.
The ban itself has been altered several times. The final version, which bans residents of 9 countries, 7 of which are majority Muslim, has held up under legal scrutiny (so far).
Tlaib pointed out that several 2020 Democratic presidential candidates have called comments criticizing Omar "incitement to violence" — a legal exception to the First Amendment's right to freedom of speech, and a punishable crime — but that Pelosi has chosen instead to ask Trump and others to simply tone down their rhetoric.
That's because, Tlaib, says, Pelosi and others in Democratic leadership are actively racist.
"They put us in photos when they want to show our party is diverse," Tlaib wrote on social media. "However, when we ask to be at the table, or speak up about issues that impact who we are, what we fight for & why we ran in the first place, we are ignored. To truly honor our diversity is to never silence us."
Tlaib also retweeted a post from Omar, essentially accusing Pelosi of the same, as well as a post from a "human rights activist," who doubled down.
"More and more we're realizing that POC [people of color] are used as props by @TheDemocrats," Tlaib's retweeted missive read. "When we run, we're told to wait our turn. When we speak about our struggles, we're told we're angry. When we ask them to stand up for us, they say we're being divisive."
Pelosi's comments on Saturday, indeed, did not defend Omar. Instead she merely asked the President not to use images of 9/11 in "political attacks," tweeting, "The memory of 9/11 is sacred ground, and any discussion of it must be done with reverence. The President shouldn't use the painful images of 9/11 for a political attack."
This isn't the first time Pelosi has failed to rush to the defense of her more vocal, progressive colleagues. She has chastized Omar before for using anti-Semitic tropes in speeches, and accusing fellow Democrats of having "dual loyalty" to both Israel and the United States (Tlaib has also unleashed that particular smear on occasion). Pelosi also spearheaded an effort to censure Omar, which ultimately turned into a weaselly blanket condemnation of "all hate."
Just last week. Pelosi appeared to take aim at Tlaib's and Omar's sister-in-arms, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), complaining that real policy cannot be made on Twitter.
This is a battle Pelosi is likely to lose.

I just love to see the Dems eat each other. lol
Obama dumped a concentration of Muslim refugees in certain areas where they could dominate the voting. Muslim extremists said that they would destroy us from within.
Now that the wars and ISIS are winding down in the Middle East shouldn't refugees be thinking about going home and helping rebuild their countries?
They will never leave. No free stuff in their home countries. They are here forever. We just need to make sure they never become the majority. Keep them out of government. JMO
We wish they would leave. They are cancers on society.
Ha ha ha two pigs fighting TRUMP2020.
Who cares what the cockroaches want ! !
Pelosi has lost all control of her party. These women need to be schooled in America's government which Pelosi should have done immediately after they started running their big mouths off. Big mistake Nancy. She's let them get the best of her.
By God, a Democrat who has seen thew light! Yes the Democrats use token minorities all the time. Token Blacks, token Hispanics, and now token Muslims. All to further their plan to socialize this country under their control and them put their heel on everyone. The minorities will still be minorities put even more under the control of the central government!
and she hasn't got a headrag on her, hmmmm, playing up to american with that ploy, are we.figures no one in public will know her without it, or she would become a target.
This muslim woman is not as dumb as she looks. I could have told her that from the beginning.
So they've finally woken up, hope the blacks do so soon as well.
Blexit, Blacks exiting the democratic party and it is taking off like wild fire.
Leftist diversity means white genocide.

To paraphrase Nathan Rosenberg, Economic experiments occur in settings where firms find it cheaper to learn about their technologies and business through market actions than to learn from experiments in a laboratory. (If you want more, see this journal or chapter 5 of this book.)
Perhaps it goes without saying, but laboratory science works well for a certain domain of technologically intensive activities, such as bio-tech or chemistry, and not too well in other contexts, such as service markets employing frontier IT. It also may be a platitude to some, but we live in an era with quite a lot of economic experimentation, and an era in which there always seems to be at least one venture-funded firm who does well in such settings.
The New York Times contained a short article about a company exploring one particular green technology. It contained the title, "That long, long road from idea to success." It said nothing about economic experiments, but it could have.
I try to teach principles of exploratory behavior to students, and something nothing works better than a good illustration and a good quote. This article contained a short story of one firm's long exploratory road. I have no idea whether this firm will make it or not, but the details mattered less than the general lessons. They describe what experiments look like to one set of managers trying to find the right combination of price, cost, and service to make their business fly.
This article had a good illustration of learning through experimentation. It ended with this good quote: "You see again and again the companies that succeed are not the ones that have the brilliant strategy, but the ones that course-correct along the way."
Got any other good illustrations?

With the upcoming release of Director Baz Luhrmann's version of Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, this 1920's classic is receiving an influx of renewed attention from readers. According to Publishers Weekly, CoverCake, a company that tracks trending topics on major social media platforms, listed The Great Gatsby as #5 on their list of Top-10 Books in Social Media for April 2013.
I myself have been contemplating rummaging through my library to pluck out the classic for a long overdue re-read. Isn't it wonderful what putting a book into a new medium can do to revitalize interest in the book itself?
It is a reader's quirk of mine to refuse to watch a movie unless I have read the book first. I feel that there is nothing more detrimental to the creative and imaginative conversation that goes on between the characters of a novel and the reader than to watch the movie version first. I'm sure that many will disagree with me on this, but it is a deeply rooted belief of mine and one that I will stick to for Gatsby.
Though I have already read Fitzgerald's classic depiction of the Roaring Twenties, I feel that I would be remiss not to open the spine once again and let those powerful words wash over me once more before going to see Luhrmann's version.
What are your thoughts? To read or not to read?

Top 10 Mistakes To Avoid with Weight Loss Plans
- Fat Burning Foods
- Fitness Exercises
- Liposuction
- Weight Management
Weight Loss Topics:
Losing weight is never easy, choosing weight loss plans that are ineffective is very frustrating and can take you out of the weight loss game for a while. Take a look at the top 10 common mistakes to avoid with weight loss plans.
1. Going on a diet based on daily calorie restriction is perhaps the biggest mistake to avoid virtually for all weight loss plans. Diets that limit your calories while leaving you feeling hungry and unsatisfied are always doomed to be ineffective and even make you gain even more weight when you go off this diet. This is due to our body's natural reaction to retain more fat under calorie restriction. All effective weight loss plans should include changing a person's attitude towards food and increasing daily physical activities gradually.
2. Focusing mainly on cardio exercises like running, elliptical machines, or fitness classes might not be enough. Sure, this will help you initially lose weight, however if you are in your 40s or 50s doing just cardio will not bring you desirable results in the long run. Resistance training is what most people ignore by thinking that you need to start running if you want to lose a lot of weight fast. By increasing your lean muscle you will significantly improve your body's fat burning potential. Most weight loss plans should include strength training and muscle building exercises to improve your stamina.
3. Ignoring anaerobic exercises is not going to do you any favors. Anaerobic exercises affect our bodies' fat burning mechanisms differently compared to aerobic ones. Anaerobic exercises are achieved by short burst of intense activities like sprint running or doing high intensity activities for short intervals. Interval training when you combine aerobic and anaerobic exercises is perhaps the best component of all effective weight loss plans.
4. Not changing your personal mindset about the food is another very big mistake to avoid. If you are severely overweight, getting to the bottom of your psychological problems might considerably help your weight loss plans. A qualified dietician or a physiologist will suggest what you can do to tame your obsession towards food and how to avoid binge eating triggers. Taking on an exciting new hobby like biking, kayaking, canoeing or roller skating will help redirect attention from food in your new healthier lifestyle. Starting a new weight loss group will bring new people into your life who are also determined to lose weight.
5. Relying heavily on fat burning foods alone will not bring positive results if you don't get involved in a regular exercise regimen. However, if you combine some of the fat burning foods like cinnamon, apples, almonds and eggs as part of a weight management plan accompanied by at least an hour of daily fitness exercises, these are proven to considerably speed up your metabolism and help you along on your road to banish fat.
6. Thinking that all weight loss plans involve being hungry is a major mistake to avoid. In fact, if you are on a diet that makes you hungry, it's time to find a better one. The right nutrition plan will make you feel full, satisfied and content. Eating at least 4 small meals per day and 2-3 healthy snacks will keep your blood sugar stable and prevent overeating. Eating well rounded, nutritious and visually appealing meals will provide all the necessary essential vitamins and minerals for a happier you.
7. Thinking that fruit could be consumed limitlessly is a very big mistake to avoid with all weight loss plans. Fruit contains ample amounts of natural fructose that will raise your blood sugar levels similarly to sugar laden foods. Consuming a lot of fruit might undermine virtually any diet or weight loss plans. In case you are trying to lose a lot of weight, it's better to keep consumption of grapes, figs, apricots and mango to a minimum due to their high fructose content. Berries, on the other hand, could be enjoyed more liberally because their fructose content is much lower.
8. Diet and exercise alone might not help if you do not address major stress in your life. Stress is notorious for making us pack lots of extra pounds. Stress makes us eat mindlessly and drown our sadness in calorie-packed junk foods and sedentary activities. It's important to find healthy outlets for stress like meditation, journal writing, volunteering, gardening or crafts. These activities will help us relax in a natural way and positively contribute to weight loss plans.
9. If you think that eliminating fats will make you skinny, you might be making a very common weight loss plans mistake. Focusing strictly on your fat consumption while ignoring your carbohydrate intake might be making you fatter in the long run. Our bodies need fat for a lot of vital functions like hormone synthesis and cell regeneration. According to many recent studies, low carb diet has been proven to be much more effective in helping us lose weight compared to low fat ones.
10. Not getting support is another important weight loss plans mistake to avoid. Your family and friends can become your biggest allies on your road to losing weight. Announcing that you are determined to lose weight will make them more careful with menu planning when expecting you over. Some might even join you and become your exercise partners which might even add some fun to losing weight.

Foods for Weight Loss
Are you tired of eating salads at every meal to lose weight?
There are a ton of foods available that aid weight loss and satisfy hunger, so there's no need to starve to drop a couple pants sizes.
Here are foods for weight loss that should appeal to every taste and appetite.
Apple Cider Vinegar
On salads, apple cider vinegar is a low-fat dressing. It also aids in weight loss and lowers cholesterol. It is included in natural supplements for its weight loss properties. [1]
Find apple cider vinegar supplements here.
Apples are low-calorie snacks that are high in fiber, which makes them more filling. One study showed those who ate an apple before a meal consumed fewer calories than those who ate nothing beforehand. [2]
Rich in healthy fats and quality protein, avocados contribute to healthy hair and skin. They also are an excellent source of potassium and contain antioxidants and essential oils. [3]
Low in fat, high in protein, beans are an underrated superfood. Since beans have a low glycemic index, they digest slowly, which stabilizes glucose levels and gives a slow release of energy. [4]
Berries are among the most nutrient dense foods available. They are proven metabolism-boosters that aid in regulating insulin production. [5]
Black Pepper
A chemical called piperine found in peppercorns has anti-cancer and antioxidant properties. Pepper is also a natural decongestant, making it a natural treatment for the common cold.[6]
Brown Rice
This is an excellent source of magnesium, fiber, and complex carbs. Brown rice is as filling and inexpensive as its white-grain counterpart but with greater health benefits. [7]
Celery is high in fiber and low in calories. The insoluble fibers bulk up in the stomach, making it fuller longer without extra fat. Celery is hydrating because it's full of water. [8]
Often used in folk medicine, cinnamon is found to lower blood sugar. Furthermore, it fights bacteria, reduces inflammation, and works like an antioxidant. Cassia cinnamon is the most potent cinnamon type. [9]
Packed with protein that builds lean muscle, eggs are the daily breakfast choice of many bodybuilders. And, eggs contain nutrients like zinc and selenium without high levels of fats. [10]
Green Tea
Green tea contains high concentrations of flavonoids, which are vegetable-based antioxidants. A study showed those who regularly drank tea had 46-56% reduced risk of hypertension. [11]
Shop supplements containing green tea here.
This alternative to beans contains high doses of protein, fiber, and complex carbs, making them a power food. Since they contain little fat, lentils deliver nutrients you need without calories you don't.[12]
Natural Yogurt
The probiotics in natural yogurt contribute to colon health and prevent intestinal infections. They help with discomfort like bloating and diarrhea. The calcium in yogurt signals the body to produce less belly fat. [13]
A hearty serving of oatmeal makes a healthy breakfast. Oats are packed with protein and fiber, which makes them a well-rounded food. They are clinically proven to lower bad cholesterol. [14]
The compound that makes peppers spicy, the antioxidant capsaicin, helps people lose weight. Studies show capsaicin increases metabolic rates from 10-15%, which increases fat burning during exercise. [15]
Capsaicin weight loss supplements can be found here.
Fish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. These fats lower triglyceride levels, a blood fat that contributes to heart disease. Better still, they contribute to healthy blood pressure and reduce joint stiffness. [16]
Dark, leafy greens are full of antioxidants and fiber. Antioxidants fight early aging while fiber fills the stomach, making it possible to be full from this low-calorie food. Additionally, spinach is an excellent source of vitamin C. [17]
Vegetarians looking for a high-protein meat substitute should look no further than tofu. It is low in saturated fat and high in protein, which lowers bad cholesterol. [18]
The humble tomato is chock full of vitamins A, C, and E and folic acid. Tomatoes reduce inflammation and lower water retention, which helps you feel less bloated after eating. Studies show people who eat tomatoes regularly have a lower risk for certain types of cancer. [19]
This lean bird has high protein and low fat content, making it one of the healthiest meat proteins available. It is loaded with zinc, potassium, iron, B vitamins, and phosphorous. [20]

Customer Reviews
Bought one of these just a few days before Christmas. Very impressive. A tad smaller than usual but the quality of this blade overcomes that issue quickly. Be it a smaller EDC or something nice for your collection - or just because you like it - this blade is a purchase everyone should seriously consider.
This knife is great! It is a little smaller then I expected but its sharp, durable, and has no play to the blade! Get this you won't regret it!!!
Incredible knife. Comes sharp, and after a little sharpening, The blade can cut like butter. Very, very easy to conceal, and the rainbow gives it a very nice design overall. I used the knife for straight throwing, and it can pierce through almost anything! Great for the price, you can't go wrong with this handy little knife.
Very nice knife, is very concealable most people wont even know I have it on me. Comes pretty sharp and I love the rainbow of it, gives this knife a unique look amongst the others and definitely stands out of the crowd.

Sonnet 126 by William Shakespeare:
"O thou, my lovely boy, who in thy power
Dost hold Time's fickle glass his fickle hour..."
Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, Act 2. Scene II:
on each side her
Stood pretty dimpled boys, like smiling Cupids,
With divers-colour'd fans, whose wind did seem
To glow the delicate cheeks which they did cool,
And what they undid did.
W.H. Auden believed that Shakespeare's sonnets showed that Shakespeare loved boys.
Some believe Shakespeare was in love with Henry Wriothesley, third Earl of Southampton.
Paraphrase of Sonnet 20:
'You were created by Nature as a woman but more beautiful than any woman, for you do not have their faults. But Nature changed her mind as she made you, and turned you into a man, for she herself adored you, and, perhaps desiring congress, gave you male parts. Therefore I cannot love you with the fulness that I would love a woman. But let me have your real love, while women enjoy the physical manifestation of it, which I know to be merely a superficies'.
In 1582, Shakespeare, aged 18, married Anne Hathaway, aged 26.
In 1587, Shakespeare left left his family in Stratford and moved to London to work in the world of theatre.
The Shakespeare sonnet Number 116: "Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments; love is not love which alters, when it alteration finds." Shakespeare reportedly wrote this to a male. The sonnets are dedicated to W.H.
Oscar Wilde believed that WH was William Hughes, a boy actor who played the parts of women in Shakespeare plays, including Romeo and Juliet.
Sonnet Number 18: "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate..." Scholars believe this was written for a fair-haired male.
Shakespeare wrote an elegy for the funeral of a young Oxford student named William Peter.
Professor Lars Engle of the University of California at Berkeley said in a 1995 interview with The New York Times, "Shakespeare had what we would now think of as a homosexual attachment to the youth."

OpenMAX IL VP8 and WebP Codec Component Extensions and Content Pipe 1.0 specification also publicly released today
14th February, 2012 – Beaverton, OR – The Khronos™ Group today announced the release of OpenMAX™ IL 1.2 as a provisional specification. OpenMAX IL is a royalty-free, cross-platform C-language API for integration of multimedia components into media frameworks to simplify deployment of audio/video encoders/decoders, camera control, and audio, video and image processing algorithms across diverse platforms. OpenMAX IL 1.2 is a backward compatible upgrade that includes dynamic buffer allocation, improved media graph management, in-band signaling, enhanced audio video synchronization, a wider range of standard components and enhanced camera control capabilities together with many other improvements and clarifications to increase interoperability between media processing components. The specification has been released in provisional form to enable developers and implementers to provide feedback before specification finalization. The OpenMAX IL 1.2 provisional specification is available for immediate download.
OpenMAX IL is the integration layer of the OpenMAX family of APIs for multimedia acceleration and application development. Khronos also provides the OpenMAX AL (Application Layer) API for object oriented access to rich media acceleration, and OpenSL ES for advanced audio capabilities. OpenMAX IL is well suited to provide the base graph building infrastructure for such higher-level APIs. A discussion forum for feedback on the OpenMAX IL specification is available online.
"The mobile market is constantly evolving and demanding ever increasing multimedia functionality and performance. The OpenMAX IL specification enables chipset vendors to take best advantage of their acceleration capabilities and is a key element of the overall Khronos solution for accelerated multimedia. This release is an important milestone, proposing an up-to date version of the specification to implementers, and is a strong base of work for future innovation," said Thierry Vuillaume, standardization manager at ST-Ericsson CTO Office, and chair of the OpenMAX IL Working Group.
Khronos also today released a VP8 and WebP Codec Component extension for OpenMAX IL 1.1.2, enabling integration of encoders and decoders for VP8, the video codec used in WebM media format, and WebP image encoders and decoders, in existing OpenMAX IL implementations. The VP8 and WebP Codec Component extension is available online.
"OpenMAX IL support offers a straightforward, standardized method for device manufacturers to enable WebM hardware acceleration for playback or recording applications in leading mobile platforms," commented Aki Kuusela, engineering manager for the WebM Project.
Also today, Khronos released the Content Pipe 1.0 specification. Previously part of OpenMAX 1.1.2, it is now presented as a standalone specification for use in conjunction with OpenMAX IL, OpenSL ES or OpenMAX AL. The Content Pipe specification abstracts data access to streamline media data transfer, enabling a multimedia system to be built for an arbitrary delivery method without having to deal with the specifics of the delivery details. In addition, the Content Pipe specification allows an application to preprocess the data before sending it to the underlying multimedia framework, such as in the case of proprietary delivery methods of premium media content. The Content Pipe specification is available for download online.
OpenMAX IL 1.2 Capabilities
The new OpenMAX IL 1.2 provisional specification includes the following improvements:
The new OpenMAX IL 1.2 specification also widens the number of standard components to include audio and video technologies such as:
The OpenMAX IL 1.2 camera component is also updated with the following advanced capabilities:

My wife and I became members of the rich, culturally diverse community a while back and have loved every second of it. We love how family oriented it is and how it has helped us to develop our three children through parks, sporting events, and activities available here.
As a personal finance representative, my local touch helps me connect and understand the community and their needs. I look forward to helping families like yours protect the things that are important – your family, home, car and more. I can also help you prepare a strategy to achieve your financial goals.
I try to give back to my community in any way I can, which is why you may find me working with Habitat for Humanity or even tutoring at an orphanage. We know that helping the community doesn't just benefit those in need – it helps us to be better individuals.
You'll find a true feeling of warmth and a desire to serve when you meet our staff. We strive to demonstrate integrity and character in all we do. When you stop by and see us, we can review your policy and help you explore the best insurance options for your family.
I left Cricket Wireless/AT&T Mobility as an Indirect Sales Executive to start my Sales career with West Virginia Insurance Group in August 2017.
My goal for the agency is to build long-lasting relationships with my customers. I want to be their agent for life and for the generations to come. My core values include honesty and integrity when dealing with all of our customers. I take pride in representing my customers and meeting their needs.
I grew up in Charleston WV, graduated from Capital High School and attended West Virginia State University.
I'm married to Stephanie, and we have one son, Sammy and these two are my world. I enjoy spending my spare time with my family.
When my schedule permits, you can find me at Revved Up CrossFit in Hurricane, WV. I enjoy the challenges that CrossFit brings with every workout.
I started by insurance career in 1997 as a Financial Advisor with American Express in Kanawha City, WV. In 2010, I accepted a management position with Bankers Life in Hurricane, WV. I joined West Virginia Insurance Group in September 2017.
I am originally from Annapolis, MD. I have one brother and sister. However my mother remarried when I was in 5th grade, and her new husband had seven children. Both families merged to have our very own "Brady Bunch."
After graduating high school, I attended Southeastern Bible College in Lakeland, FL. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education. Many years later, I pursued a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Charleston.
It is so exciting and rewarding to assist my clients in achieving their financial goals. Helping them remove any unnecessary risks and making sure they are not left vulnerable to significant losses, brings me a fantastic sense of accomplishment. Protecting my clients is my life's work.
My most prized possession is my daughter, Savannah. She is 16 years old and is growing up too fast. Every moment spent with her is cherished. I'm the type of mom who shows pictures and can't stop talking about how proud I am of my daughter.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of my life is music. I sing with my church's praise and worship team. It is an honor to serve.
During my spare time, you may find me in a few different places. I spend time at the mall (remember, my daughter is 16). You will also find me at church – Kings River Worship Center in St. Albans, WV.
On weekends, most likely, you would find me taking care of my elderly mother. She currently resides at a nursing home in St. Albans, WV. Due to her failing health, the majority of my spare time is spent with her. My favorite way to spend my weekend is with family and friends. I love to invite people over to my house for dinner. In the summer, you will find me hanging out by the pool.
I thoroughly enjoy being an event planner. In college, I was nicknamed the "cruise director." I recently planned a surprise wedding. It was a major success! I love when people say, "it cant be done" then I show them that IT CAN!
A secret that most people don't know about me is that I was not born with my dimple. When I was five years old, I fell while at a playground. My cheek hit a cement bench and formed a dimple. So glad I didn't hit my forehead or some other odd place. (ha,ha)
I am passionate about serving my church. I sing, help with the children, have served in the media department, been a part of many youth events, and even helped make candy for missionaries.
My adventure into the insurance world has started with this company. I am thrilled to be a part of this team and am so blessed that they have welcomed me and made me a part of their family.
I grew up in Texas but moved to West Virginia a few years back. I instantly fell in love with the beauty of this state and with how tight-knit the community is. I recently started a family and am delighted to get the chance to raise my daughter in a place that is family focused.
The group I work with is so full of integrity and passion, and that makes coming to work every day so invigorating. I am excited to work with such a diverse community and am honored that I have the opportunity to get to know you and your family.
The thing I find most enjoyable is spending time with my baby. My daughter is my whole world and being able to watch her grow every day is so amazing!
More likely than not, you will find me with my family on the weekends. Usually, we are at one of the grandparent's houses eating good food and creating memories.
I love reading. Any moment I get, I like to sit down with my daughter and read to her. I believe a lot of knowledge can be obtained from what we read and If I can pass anything onto my daughter, it would be the love of reading.
I love being part of a group that has such passion and drive to serve the community. It truly is amazing.
I have been trained by the elite agents in the insurance industry, and I've gathered a wealth of knowledge from them. I personally entered the industry at the beginning of 2017.
I'm excited the most about how much more I can do for my community by catering to their needs and educating them as I an educated.
I grew up in a small town called Rand in Charleston, WV and then I lived in the East End of Charleston for ten years, about three blocks away from the capitol. I enjoyed tutoring the children of our community in mathematics and English.
I LOVE to read, write, and recite poetry! Also, I'm very passionate about the youth, and I have mentored some great young people in both Cabell and Kanawha counties. My guilty pleasure, without a doubt, is warm chocolate chip cookies!
You can most definitely find me at the church on Sundays and probably at my in-laws and mom's house on the weekends.
