Why You Need Cardio Workouts
Regular physical activity is one of the keys to staying healthy. Exercise is especially important for college students, who are often under a lot of pressure academically and socially.
To get the most out of exercising, it is necessary to elevate your heart rate and sustain it for at least 20 minutes. Activities that accomplish this goal are considered cardio workouts. They have been proven to relieve stress, as well as anxiety and other symptoms of depression. You might achieve greater confidence and emotional balance.
Cardio also aids efforts to lose weight and become more fit. These are goals shared by many college students, who typically eat a fair amount of junk food and perhaps drink a few beers. Cardio workouts can make you more resilient to illness, disease, and injury. Regular, intense exercise has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Another benefit is growing muscles without adding fat. Increased strength and agility have been attributed to cardio. It is an effective way to keep cholesterol and triglyceride levels in check, as well.
The average adult should take part in activities that provide about one-half hour of cardio per day, according to U.S. government health officials. You may choose from among numerous types of workouts.
In Your Room
The weather could make exercising outdoors difficult, and perhaps you would rather avoid the cost or social dynamics of a gym. Fortunately, there are cardio exercises you can try in the privacy of your dorm room.
Some workouts do not even require any equipment. They include running in place, jumping jacks, core-power yoga, belly dancing, aerobics, and climbing stairs. Other exercises recommended by fitness trainers and others are squat jumps, leaping into the air from a crouched position; burpees, jumping from a squat to a plank position, then jumping back and standing; "mountain climbing," working the knees forward and back while in a push-up position; bear crawls, moving from a squat to pushup position, then walking the hands back and standing; and kickboxing, punching and kicking a bag, other object, or the air.
Many types of home-exercise equipment are on the market. You have probably seen the late-night Bowflex commercials on television. Treadmills and stationary bicycles are among the most popular kinds of equipment. Others include elliptical trainers, weight machines, resistance bands, and free weights. Some manufacturers give the impression that their devices can magically transform your body. Understand that you will see results only if you are willing to commit the necessary time and effort.
In the Great Outdoors
Exercising outside provides the added benefit of fresh air and sunshine. Running is one of the most common cardio techniques. Maintaining adequate speed for long enough distances can produce the elevated heart rate you need. However, running can be hard on your feet and legs. Alternatives that place less strain on the body are jogging, power walking, and hiking. You might want to combine periods of walking and running during an outing.
Other outdoor workouts include bicycling, golf, tennis, and playing in the yard with the dog or the kids. However, it could be difficult to achieve enough exertion for such activities to qualify as cardio. If it snows frequently where you are going to school, consider buying or renting cross-country skis, snowshoes, or boots. Just hiking through heavy snow is an intense form of exercise. Shoveling snow is also sure to get the blood pumping.
At a Gym
You might be unable or unwilling to spend money on expensive home-exercise equipment. Elliptical trainers, rowing machines, and other devices are also available at gyms and fitness centers. Because these facilities offer a variety of equipment, you can try various models to see which ones are right for you.
Many students who go to gyms find that they benefit from the advice they receive from fitness experts, other customers, and fellow students. Gyms are social environments, where people have at least a few things in common. They are all trying to improve their health and get into better shape.
You may be able to find a gym, spa, or fitness center that has a running track, tennis court, basketball court, or swimming pool. Some businesses require annual membership fees, while others let you pay on a per-visit basis. Take advantage of recreational facilities on campus, especially if you are at a large university where multiple options are available.
Before deciding which kind of cardio workout to try, have a good understanding of your physical capabilities. Consider not only your fitness goals, but also your age, health issues, strength, and mobility. Your gender may be another factor. For instance, authorities say aerobics, jogging, running, and using a treadmill are particularly valuable for women.
It is recommended that you tell a doctor or other medical provider about your workout plans. Get a checkup and some professional advice. You want to make sure that your exercises do not cause pain or injury. Warm up and stretch before starting, and initially do short workouts. You can make them longer and more energetic as your strength and endurance build. Don't overdo it, or you may find yourself in worse shape than before. It's a good idea to vary workouts, to benefit different muscles and prevent excessive strain on any of them.
Determine your optimal heart rate during cardio. Subtract your age from 220. Seventy percent of the resulting figure is the number of heart beats per minute you should strive to attain. This is the rate at which calories and fat are believed to burn most effectively.
Deciding upon the best kind of cardio workouts for you is the first step. The hard part is devoting yourself to regular exercise. You will not experience the results you seek without putting in the work. If you make the effort, better health and a fitter body may be among the rewards. You also might feel less stressed, more confident, and even happier.

Sometimes Family Caregivers Need a Break
By Elaine Ryan , June 09, 2014 01:03 PM
Every day for eight years, my Pop provided hands-on care for my mom, who faced a number of physical challenges. At age 90, Pop was still helping Mom out of bed into her wheelchair, bathing and dressing her, making the meals, and doing the dishes, laundry and anything else that needed to be done. A few times a week, Pop would get out of the house for a trip to the grocery store and a few staples like bread, milk and eggs. It wasn't that there was always a need, but Pop would drive to and from the store for a change of scenery - and a much-needed break from his 24/7 caregiving responsibilities.
Pop's experience isn't unique. Today, 42 million family caregivers provide an invaluable resource in caring for their loved ones at home - many on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This labor of love is worth more than $450 billion in unpaid care each year. And because of family caregivers' commitment, millions of older people are able to live at home rather than in costly institutions, like nursing homes.
While family caregivers wouldn't have it any other way, it's a big job - and once in a while, they need a break: That's why respite care programs are so important.
AARP is fighting to make sure respite care programs - like adult day services or periodic visits in the home - are available in the community. These programs allow family caregivers to take some time off to recharge, so they have the strength, energy and spirit to carry on.
Improving respite support
Respite care is available to family caregivers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. However, this care varies from state to state. It might be:
- offered in-home or in a center setting
- an informal network of neighbors caring for neighbors
- a formal program of the state
- peer-based or multigenerational assistance
This year, AARP has been fighting hard in states during the budget process to improve access to each state's unique respite care program, thereby increasing support for family caregivers.
- In Colorado, Missouri and Wyoming, family caregivers will have more access to respite care due to a boost for services provided at home and in the community.
- In New York, family caregivers who are currently on a waiting list for services will finally receive some relief.
Tracy Murphy is one of New York's 4.1 million family caregivers, caring for her mother, Barbara Conway. Watch their story as recently featured by Syracuse.com.
- Meanwhile, in Florida, family caregivers who help loved ones with Alzheimer's will have greater opportunity to access a unique respite care program designed specially for those dealing with this disease.
And we're still fighting
Some state legislatures haven't ended their sessions yet, so we're still hard at work. For example, in Rhode Island, AARP is fighting for family caregivers who need access to the state program that provides respite care, and in North Carolina, AARP is fighting to prevent major cuts to home- and community-based services like respite care.
And we'll continue to fight for family caregivers - for the services and supports they need to safely care for their loved ones at home: respite care, training, workplace protections, financial help and more.
If you are a family caregiver, you're not alone
- To stay up to date or to get involved with our caregiving advocacy in the states, sign up for the AARP Advocates e-newsletter or visit your state Web page.
- To find the tools and support you need, as well as ways to connect with other caregivers, visit the AARP Caregiver Resource Center.

Hard Flooring
Tile and Grout Cleaning and Sealing
(Choose from three options to suit your needs)
- Clean Grout as Best as Possible. This yields excellent results but there may still be some staining or discoloration in certain areas such as the base of the toilet.
- Clean, then Seal the Grout with a Clear Sealer. This helps to prevent the grout from getting dark and dirty again over time. However, clear sealer will not hide areas with permanent staining.
- Clean, and Colorseal. This is the ultimate treatment for your grout. After cleaning, the grout is treated with a synthetic coloured sealant that bonds and protects grout for years to come. With the added ability to color the sealant to any color of your choice, you can choose your perfect decor and always have perfectly coloured grout.

Wednesday Wish list #8; Bedroom Accessories.
Although my room isn't the smallest in my house, it fills up pretty quickly! I'm finally getting a double bed, which means even less bedroom space. So I've been looking at little bedroom storage, to pop all around my bedroom for easy access to the little things that always make their way to my bedroom. And I'm just a big lover for all these adorable things, my bedroom would be filled with them now if I had the space.

Dang, I'm a double cheeseburger fan myself. I certainly do my part.ReplyDelete
But burgers are even better when home made, and enjoyed without a bun, BUT with a great tasting salad !ReplyDelete
All the best Jan
Sheesh. I haven't eaten from there in years.ReplyDelete
So sad... this is why I am a vegetarian.ReplyDelete
However, I guess it is good to know that one cow goes a long way.

For expectant mums and their birth partners, whatever kind of birth outcome they desire, the wonderful Wise Hippo Birthing Programme is hard to beat. It is a comprehensive hypnobirthing course full of practical information as well as amazing relaxation techniques. I have been teaching the Wise Hippo for a couple of years now and the feedback I get from clients is amazing.
Here is part of an email I had from a client in 2015:
"All in all the most intense indescribably amazing experience of my life.. Thank you for all your help and guidance.. It worked so well, and even though my body took over for most of it and I just rode the wave, all the positive affirmation and confidence, and trusting my body to know what to do that you helped so much to give made all the difference I'm sure. It was more intense than I ever imagined it would be.. And just such a miracle how well the body knows what to do.. I am overwhelmed by it all."
As always I am still teaching this course as a private option in clients' homes but some mums may prefer to come to my home for all four sessions with other couples.
So I am running courses in May, July and September 2016 and there will be more on the way.
Groups are small (maximum four couples per class) and you have comfortable seating in my home plus light refreshments.
Please note, I have a middling-sized dog and a very, very small cat. If you have any allergies or other issues, think before booking – maybe a private course at your own home would be a better option.

Experience in a Box?
This week we went to a meeting of a Swiss-based Knowledge Management Community of Practice called "Think Table". This one-day gathering was packed full of games, experiences, discussions on topics such as storytelling (Story Guide: Building Bridges Using Narrative Techniques" prepared by the Swiss Development Cooperation-their webpage has many other related free documents to download), facilitation (our contribution), monitoring and evaluation for knowledge management, and "rapid prototyping".
Rapid prototyping was a particularly interesting tool, and it fit in with our recent preoccupation with getting people at work to be thinking about their Learning Cycles. This tool presents an opportunity to go further with the experimenting/experience part of the cycle through actually building a process and then simulating and walking through the various steps, before documenting them more formally on paper after the experience.
Manfred Kunzel from the University of Fribourg presented the activity, asking four small teams to each construct the following scenario: "opening the door to sell black ThinkTables to schools in our community". He gave us each half a box of supplies, small blocks, game pieces, sticks, post-it notes, other representational objects, and instructed us to build and then simulate the various seps in the process. After our initial "what?" reaction, we got to the task, and the discussion which followed helped us move through the essential stages of both project planning and execution (simplify the task, organization and set up, exploration and modelling, develop the plan, and execution). Apparently you can build any process in about 40 minutes, although then it can take several hours afterwards to formalise the process (map it, write down the steps, assign roles, etc.)
I have one of the boxes on my desk now, and already have plans to use it (you could probably create your own box). I thought it was a brilliant way to get people to think about something they want to do together, agree on it, build it, and then practice how the various stocks (money, people, ideas) flow around their system. It doesn't replace real life, but sometimes you can't practice building a bridge, or running a Congress of 10,000 people. At least this way you can create that environment on a much smaller scale and then run around in your simulated environment, saying what you would say, going where you would go, and seeing what kinds of things you might run into on the way.

Industrial Hemp
Nathaniel, Rhys and Yolanda share their passion for the nutritional and therapeutic benefits of growing, processing and using industrial hemp. Not to be confused with its `cousin` plant marijuana, licensed industrial hemp (in this case cannabis sativa) must be grown to contain a level of less than 0.2% THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) - the psychoactive constituent of cannabis. This versatile plant only takes 4 months to mature and the whole plant can be used - roots, stems, leaves, buds and seeds for food, clothing and supplements eg the fibres for fabric and the seeds for oils. The seeds are high in protein and contain a wide range of vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids eg health-promoting anti-oxidants and omega 3. The hemp we see here is produced on the South Downs but there are various varieties to suit different climates and soil conditions. http://www.vitalityhemp.com/ An Adliberate film http://www.adliberate.co.uk for WoodlandsTV http://www.woodlands.co.uk/tv
Woodchip Boiler
Here Clive Jones tells us about the processes of the chip wood fired boiler system his family use with great success on their land at Moonfleet Farm in Dorset. Clive explains how they manage their coppiced woodland and how the efficient wood chip boiler system supplies the heating and hot water for the farm house and cottage using waste wood fuel, hedge cuttings and prunings from the farm.

Sustainable energy from woodlands
http://www.woodlands.co.uk Sustainable energy? Renewable sources of energy from woodlands? By managing forests to provide fuel and building materials we can create a sustainable environment. Matthew Woodcock from the Forestry Commission illustrates the benefits of wood as a fuel with help from a poster. This eductional tool shows sources of wood such as upland woodland, fast growing willow ,coppice management, and community woodland to name a few. He also shows how logs can be used for timber buildings and the offcuts for wood chip heating. It includes a section showing children at school learning about the carbon cycle whilst also being kept warm by a wood chip boiler.
The Renewable Heat Incentive
On 20 October 2010, as part of the Spending Review the Chancellor announced that the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) will be launched in June 2011. Matthew Woodcock from the Forestry Commission discusses the proposals (filmed in May 2010) http://woodlands.co.uk

Why I didn't post yesterday
At 1pm I am consumed by a wave of weird dread but chase it away by looking at houses to rent on the internet. Huh. I am 34 and have never lived on my own. Ideally I am looking for a house that comes with some kind of a childminder. For me. To remind me to pay the bills and go to bed occasionally. Sheltered housing, in fact, is what I really need. There is none available on Immoweb. I compound the weird dread by having a Crème Caramel and two miniature Twixes for lunch, and staying rooted to my desk like the fruit of a Derren Brown experiment, sweaty claws clutching my mouse.
At 3pm I am dragged from my anxiety fugue state for a conference call where we discuss my failure to harvest 'Low Hanging Fruit'. I compound my non-harvesting sins by not even remembering what Low Hanging Fruit I was supposed to be picking. Or gathering. Or feeding finely sliced to the German interns. To compensate for my fruit failure, I dash off a quick powerpoint presentation, like a sacrifice to the gods of eurotedium.
At 5pm I run away and wait for a very long time on the steps of the Beaux-Arts for the 92 tram.
At 8pm - having collected, homeworked, then hustled the spawn into their pyjamas, walked the dog, made some semblance of dinner and shoved all the dirty stuff into a cupboard so Aurélie the babysitter doesn't see it - I am clutching onto a small table for support on my 5in heels (beautifully complimenting my Fat Trousers which I was too lazy and bloated to change out of) on my third glass of free champagne at a late night shop opening thing. I have committed to buy a dress I can't afford and am wondering if I can run away without getting caught (answer: no) . Le tout Bruxelles is there and LTB is very very shiny and amusing indeed, between bat featured facelifts, giant bouffant hair, unfortunate fur items and pink cords on men. All the posh shops are open, plying you with wine and tiny snacks, but you can only go to the one that invited you. In my case this is a WIN on the drink (Moët) but a FAIL on the food, which is ironico-Belge; they have invited a Frikadelkot type thing, the Belgian equivalent of a roadside burger van. I wish I had a photo. It has giant pump action pots of mayonnaise and a variety of grey deep fried meats. I am very much regretting my crème caramel lunch. We brazen our way into a couple of other shops and meet French Celebrity (not really) Julien Leper!
I find this stupidly hilarious and have to hide behind a row of coats.
We get thrown out of our fourth shop and call it a night. Not before I have liberated 5 miniature coffee eclairs though.
At 10pm we are eating pizza out of the box on a street corner debating who is better qualified to drive the car (answer: noone).
At 1am I am still slumped in the dog's chair, dog draped heavily over my keyboard. My fingers aren't working. Nor are my eyes. I blame Derren Brown.

If you like, when you rent a house, I will email you stern reminders on a regular basis for a small fee.
It will help me attain my "not having to go to work any more" ambition which has been growing inside me like a tapeworm.
Here, a free sample:
"Buy some milk. Eat toast and Nutella for breakfast. Sleep for at least 5 hours tonight. Put dirty clothes in washing machine and switch on, but not at the same time as you are in the shower."
See? A valuable service for all. Get me while I'm hot.

LLG - Hmm. Thank you sweetheart. I think the drink had a lot to do with it, but I do still like it. Except, you know, financially.
LBTW - I would totally sign up for that service. Seriously, do it. There must be loads of other idiots like me who are incapable of behaving like sentient adults.
@eloh - I dunno. I'm ok on feet, but as soon as you add wheels I'm a disaster.
Margaret - you are sweet to worry, but I promise it isn't far to fall. And those were only measly 4in heels. Perfectly safe.
Kate - no! Should I? Will I like it?
Iheart - Grace taught me everything I know..
Soda & candy - I imagine from most angles it looks like a bin bag on me. That's the defining feature of most of my wardrobe...
Bevchen - noooo. Don't let him choose! Actually, do. Then everything wrong with it can be his fault. Good plan.
Reen - I know! What kind of Belgian would do such a thing??

Seeing the photo of you looking fabulous in your dress, despite standing on a toilet lid, confirms to me that our respective ideas of what constitutes "fat trousers" are very, very different.
If you think you are fat, there really is no hope for me.
So there.
(Word verification is "phath" - I like it!)

New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) launched another phase of its modernization initiative late last week with the groundbreaking on an upgrade project at the Long Island Rail Road's (LIRR) Wantagh Station.
The station serves approximately 5,700 passengers daily, and the project includes a new concrete platform, waiting room, escalator, elevator and other upgrades. This will be the first such upgrade of the station since its original construction in 1968.
"Governor (Andrew) Cuomo's administration has made investment in mass transit a top priority, and it is sure to pay future dividends in continued economic growth for Long Island," MTA LIRR President Patrick Nowakowski said. "The modernization of Wantagh Station is just one example of the kind of transportation-infrastructure improvements made possible by the state's support of the MTA and how that support ultimately benefits our local villages and towns."
The work will take place over a two-year period and is expected to cost approximately $23.9 million to complete.
Nowakowski was joined at ceremony by Nassau County officials and business leaders, as well as state legislators.
"The Wantagh Station modernization is part of the MTA's ongoing commitment to Long Island and its future," MTA President and CEO Thomas Prendergast said. "It will benefit thousands of residents who depend each day on the LIRR, create jobs and enhance the look and feel Wantagh's business district."

My margarita is one-third Ora Azu Blanco, one-third fresh squeezed lime juice and one-third bottled water sweetened with raw agave nectar to taste. The glass decanter is placed in the freezer until ice crystals start to form. Fantastic. If I'm in a hurry a couple of ice cubes replace the water and the freezing process..
I hit the nail on the head today: 2 cups Camarena Blanco, 1/2 cup Grand Marnier, 2 cups squeezed lime juice, 1 9/16 cup agave nectar, 2 cups water. Add salt to outside rim of martini glass, garnish with lime, fill glass with ice. Shake mix in sealed jar, pour many goood margaritas...
I've been making prickly pear margaritas lately due to them being in season. They taste like a combo of watermelon-raspberry-tomato.
The fruit must be peeled with caution and blended to a fine consistency. The thick juice, which is riddled with seeds and pulp, must be strained through two mesh sieves. Acid must be added as well to cut the bland sweetness. Therefore, I always add a little lime juice and water. Sometimes it won't be sweet enough so a dash of light agave nectar which brings it to a nice balance. By itself, this makes a very tasty juice. But more lime is needed if you use it for a margarita.
I'll mix 2-3 oz. of the prickly pear juice mix in a shaker with ice, 1-1/2 shots of a budget tequila blanco like Camarena or Espolon, 1/2 shot of fresh lime juice, and a splash of orange liqueur. Pour from the shaker into a glass filled with fresh ice... No Salt Gringos!!!
I went through the whole Prickly Pear thing...it was a pain in the butt finding the pears and then getting the juice and sugar mixture just right. I came across "Mama Rose's Prickly Pear Margarita Mix". The distributor is T.G. Greenfield out of Phoenix, Arizona (Ph 800-254-4774)
The mix is fantastic and there recipe is as follows:
Mix 2 cups of Prickly Pear Margarita Mix
1/2 cup Tequila
2oz triple Sec
Blend with ice until slushy, pour into favorite margarita glass add more tequila to accommodate.
I love margs.
Does anyone else throw a drop or two of water in there with it?
I tend to like mine pretty orangey so I go 1:1 on the tequila and cointreau (sometimes 1.5 on the tequila if it's something a bit gentler), then lime juice it's usually a quarter of a lime's worth (but our limes are VERY juicy, so that's probably the equivalent of half a lime elsewhere), then two quick squirts of agave nectar (I'd guess that's a couple of bar spoon's worth? Maybe less...). Then probably 0.5-1 of water as well, and a good, LONG shake with a lot of ice.
I find the extra water gives it a more refreshing 'wetter' effect (I know that sounds stupid, but it's difficult to describe).
Also, if you have a bottle of Bols Strawberry, try that instead of the triple sec (use a bit less, it's VERY sweet), it makes an awesome Strawberita
Whenever I've done a marg without a liqueur I've always ended up wishing that I'd just had the tequila straight.
Not that we are counting calories here, but I have calculated the calorie count on a puro (just tequila, lime juice, and agave syrup) to be about 200 calories. That's 120 calories for two ounces of tequila, 60 calories for the agave syrup, and rounding-up 20 calories for a little more of either ingredient. I would suspect your recipe with all that Cointreau pushes it well over 300 calories per drink. I gained about 5 lbs pretty quickly when I started drinking a couple of ritas every night.

They provided us best tour package in our budget. The hotel where We stayed was also mind blowing. Shimla is very beautiful city. We were visited most of attraction points of Shimla. Overall my trip was great. Thanks to ShimlaPacks a lot.

Kindling for the fire!
There I was, just aimlessly milling about the mall when we went into a Computer Store. I shall keep the name out of my post as this is really aimed at Amazon.com and their Kindle!
Firstly, Amazon was not interested in doing business with anyone other than Americans and an Englishman or two. Secondly, if you tried to order a Kindle via the web, your postal address immediately determines what you can and cannot buy.
So today I was most annoyed to discover Amazon has changed its mind and now sending the Kindle to South Africa. Cause for celebration? Think again! Time to be really insulted! Do we South Africans look like stupid, dim-witted fools?
Amazon has sent – just in time for Christmas – lots of stock of the Kindle for our stores. Stores can only keep the Kindle if they refuse to stock another competitive product. I am not very impressed!
Then it gets worse! On closer inspection, those damn expensive Kindles are really either the old range or the bottom of the range product. So we are STILL just second rate citizens only worth of having their left over's dumped on us.
Not surprising that Amazon doesn't want competition! It's new product which, by the way, you can only buy if you live in the USA, has already been surpassed by competitive products. The budget range they are selling here for a King's ransom is so out of date that it is a joke!
PLEASE folks! Do your research before you go and support Amazon.com! DO NOT buy a Kindle from them until they show us some respect!
Support the independents like Bookeen who are putting out good products and are willing to sell them to the world who wants their goods.
Furthermore, Kindle has also started insisting that eBook readers cannot have support for their book format and other competitors or even some generic book formats.
Do you REALLY want to support a company that over charging for their technologically outdated products and restricting your freedom and choices? Just don't complain when, like everything else so far in modern history, we all land up with no competition and incredibly crap products because of all of this…

So this is a thing. It's...patriotic?
Philadelphia Flyers goalie Steve Mason unveiled his new mask today, and it features zombified versions of Betsy Ross, Ben Franklin, and George Washington. That's zombie Ben Franklin in the photo above, holding his famous key and lurching forward until he's close enough to crack open your skull and feast on your brains.
And here's zombie Betsy Ross, sewing a tattered American flag while unleashing a guttural moan that will strike fear into the hearts of the living:
And now for the final piece, zombie George Washington! He just looks kind of stoned:
Thanks to Anthony San Filippo for sharing the photos.

|What's with the jersey?
The winter meetings begin next Monday, December 3rd in Nashville and that's where things will start to happen quickly. At least, one can hope. A trade can happen before the rumor gets a chance to spread on twitter. A surprise team can come from out of nowhere and grab a guy nobody was watching for a team nobody considered. As a blogger, it's about as close to Christmas as you can get without having the players actually gift wrapped and placed under the tree.
Having said all that...
...the Mariners have been attached to a few veteran free agent hitters and even a not so veteran hitter. Mike Napoli is rumored to be seeking a 4 year deal and it may be a race to see who the first club is that will give him that 4th year. If multiple teams offer it, money may be the key, or just the place he likes the most. At this point, its all speculation and speculation is fun! One thing we don't need to speculate about is that he's been a catcher for most of his career, but isn't going to be a full time catcher for much longer. He was a part time catcher last year with the Rangers and expecting full time catching duties from Napoli in the coming year would be a little worrisome.
Nick Swisher is another player attached to the Mariners, but he's fallen off the rumor wagon since the focus has been on Napoli the past week or so. Not for any particular reason, but you can only draw out the rumors so far before you run out of things to talk about.
The other names bandied about in the trade rumor mill has been Billy Butler and Wil Myers. When I say trade rumor, I mean it's been reported the Mariners have talked to the Royals about these guys. For all any of us knows, that conversation could've been as simple as "Hey, just checking in to see if these guys are available." "Yup." "Cool. We may talk later." Ah rumors.
With Butler, you know what you're getting. He's become mostly a DH only player the last several years and hasn't played the field. He's capable of it, but to what extent I can't possibly fathom as I don't watch the Kansas City Royals play baseball.
The Wil Myers rumor brings up an interesting question. Would you rather have a soon to be 22 year old who seems to be ready for the major leagues and under team control for 6 years, or would you rather have the proven, veteran bat for a shorter and more expensive contract? I've gone back and forth with this question in my head and I still don't have an answer.
Swisher is getting up there in age, as is Napoli. Napoli had a down year in 2012 which is an indication that he's either on the decline or he just had a down year. He was only used part time at catcher last year, but full time in years prior. Catchers tend not to age well with a very select few being the exception. Napoli is not an exception. He may end up being more of a DH/1B type either sometime in 2013 or 2014. Either way, he is not long for the catching position. Still, Swisher is an adequate defensive outfielder that can hit homers and Napoli is an adequate defensive 1B/C that can hit homers. With either of those guys, you know what you're getting yourself into.
On the other hand, with a guy like Myers, you have a player who was ranked as the #28 prospect before the 2012 season by Baseball America before he hit 37 home runs in 522 at bats between AA and AAA. He also hit .314 and struck out once every 3.7 at bats. He's a young slugger who has yet to sniff the major leagues and wouldn't be eligible for arbitration until after the 2015 season, if I did my math right. There's always the chance he could reach Super 2 status and get arbitration after 2014, but it would still be less of a hit to the payroll than a free agent signing.
One other hitch to the Myers thing is that the Mariners would only acquire him through a trade. Who would the Mariners give up in a trade to get Wil Myers? I shudder at the thought. The Royals, however, are looking for major league ready arms and the closest Seattle has in the minors right now is probably Danny Hultzen and he got lit up in AAA the last half of the season. The Mariners could build a package around a guy like Taijuan Walker, but to be honest, my eyes start to well up at the thought of that. I get it's a pitcher for a hitter, but man, that one would still kind of sting a little.
Let's not forget, Jesus Montero. Montero had a month of major league experience, was a year older, supposed to crush the ball last year and, well, you know what happened. That's not to say he won't be a masher by next season or the season after, but trading for a rookie, there will be growing pains. If Myers ends up in the Mariners lap, it would be an awkward position to have him in. I think it'd be better if the Mariners just didn't make their lap available and let him do his thing.
The Myers scenario, at this point, is pure conjecture and has about a 1% chance of happening. I say that like I actually know what I'm talking about, but I don't. For all I know, the trade could go down Wednesday. From everything being talked about on twitter and the different sports writers, landing Myers in a trade could probably go in the dream category, but you just never know with Jack Z. That front office is about as close to being completely leak proof as you can get.
It may be worth experimenting with the poll gadget they let you play with on the blog site to see what everybody else has to say, but right now, nobody really knows what's going on. We get to have fun thinking about the possibilities and the mights and coulds and what ifs and all those other wonderful little phrases. Until something happens, we get to sit back and enjoy the fact the Mariners have money to spend and intend to spend it.

Scientific Committee to Evaluate PseudoSkeptic Criticism of the Paranormal
OMG .. the Homeopaths are Coming!!!
Discussions about Holistic Health and Alternative Medicine.
Re: OMG .. the Homeopaths are Coming!!!
You need to understand the theory and practice of homeopathy. It's not the same as making rat poison. Many people falsely believe that the stronger something is, the better it must be; the more effective it is. But the stronger something is, the more toxic and dangerous it is. The placebo effect also includes noticible effects. If you feel a powerful toxic drug doing something, the body believes it's working, but it's just poison. It's not really doing anything but poisoning the body. This is also the placebo effect.
Re: OMG .. the Homeopaths are Coming!!!
NCAHF is a Stephen Barrett group. He's been debunked and a proven fraud.
Oh, and where do you keep getting this 0-4 number? Oh, that's right .. it's a Nostradamus lie based on ND's unwillingness to tell the truth.!!!!
Re: OMG .. the Homeopaths are Coming!!!
Do you understand the principle of vaccines? One of the most effective techniques developed by science for fighting disease. In essence, it teaches the body to defend itself by introducing a small amount of the disease. Homeopathy works on a similar principle. It teaches the body to rid itself of poisons and disease by diluting it.
Re: OMG .. the Homeopaths are Coming!!!
Your opinion and that's okay.

These are very different issues. Vaccines are not small amounts of the disease. Vaccines are dead or weakened disease. Big difference. The material introduced to the body is not diluted, or potentized. Unlike homeopathic medicines vaccines actually work. Unlike homeopathic medicines vaccines can be curative and preventative. Smallpox is likely the best example of a disease that has been eradicated due to the use of vaccines.
So your question of whether I understand the principle of vaccines is yes. That is why I know that there is nothing in common with homeopathic practices.

Re: OMG .. the Homeopaths are Coming!!!
Instead of blathering on what you believe to be the therapeutic benefits of homeopathic meds why not give the listening audience a description of how they are made.
What is the principle KK ?
I'll keep doing this until you man up
Re: OMG .. the Homeopaths are Coming!!!
dude.. kk...
i guess you taked science lessons just as you take homeopathy ¨medicines¨
it was all dilluted and worthless
HOMEOPATHY IS WATER for dummies
thats it
For every person who reads this valuable book there are hundreds of naïve souls who would prefer to have their spines tingled by a sensational but worthless potboiler by some hack journalist of the paranormal. You who now read these sentences join a small but wiser minority. Martin Gaardner (Psychology of the Psychic)
Re: OMG .. the Homeopaths are Coming!!!
Not true. That's like saying, "In essence, you take an aspirin pill and it helps your headache. Homeopathy works on a similar principle; you take a pill . . ." Yeah, sure, the "similar principle" is that you take a pill. Not really any true similar principle at all, though.
And there's no similar principle underlying homeopathy and vaccines. The principle of vaccines obviously is based on the immune system; a set of very specific protein changes. Homeopathy is not. It's based on connecting to a patient's "vital essence".
Re: OMG .. the Homeopaths are Coming!!!
Thanks for pointing that out rachelschmink.
Re: OMG .. the Homeopaths are Coming!!!
Sure - I think it's the logical fallacy of "trying to ride on someone else's coat-tails". I just invented that, if it doesn't already exist.
And to approach the homeopathy-vaccine thing from the other direction; Vaccine changes your body forever, but homeopathy seeks to treat something once, more like aspirin. So I'd say that "teaching" isn't a good description at all for what homeopathy tries to do. (Unless it just sucks at it, or our bodies are F students.)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
In honor of this holiday, I thought it would be fun to showcase some of the dog breeds which originated in Ireland. Canine origins come from many different countries, and some of the most popular hunting and working breeds came from Ireland. Many of them were known and recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) during its early days, more than 100 years ago. Terriers, setters, and other breeds were used in Ireland and remain popular pets today.
Modern Dog Magazine ran an interesting article about Irish dog breeds, including the Irish setter, the Kerry Blue Terrier, the Irish Wolfhound and more. Here is a link to the story -- hop over for a fun read! And, may the road rise up to meet you as you and your special furry friend travel together!

The company is expecting revenue of around Rs 8,000 crore over the next 4-5 years from the project, Piramal Group Executive Director Anand Piramal said.
Spread across seven acre, the company plans to develop a 70 storey tower with a construction area of 3.7 million sq ft. The prices of the apartments, 3BHK and 4BHK, range between Rs 8 crore and Rs 12 crore.
"In the past few years, we have seen an improvement in the market for luxury residential and people are ready to pay a premium for a good product. We will be investing around Rs 4,300 crore for the project, which will include cost of land, construction cost and cost incurred for approvals," he said.
He further said the work on the project is expected to commence in the next 1-2 months and is likely to be completed in 4-5 years.
"We expect to garner revenues of around Rs 8,000 crore over the next 4-5 years from the project," Piramal said. When asked how the company plans to raise the funds, he said it will be a mix of debt and equity.
"It will be a mix of debt and equity. The equity portion will come from the promoters of Piramal Group including Goldman Sachs and Warburg Pincus who have invested around $434 million in the company, at the entity-level," he added.
The company has joined hands with international project partners like the US-based Make Architects, Hirsch Bedner from the UK for interior designing, BuroHappold for structure and MEP Design and EDSA as landscape architect.
Piramal further said the company has adopted Expression of Interest (EoI) strategy for the pre-launch of this project, which will allow customers to understand the product proposition and register for the pre-launch offer with a token amount of Rs 10 lakh.

Paulfryant needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 218 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
I have two businesses. Appleson Ventures and Appleson Designs. They are bascially the same company so I would like a logo I could use for both. My main buisness is screenprinting and ad specialty (logos on things other than shirts...pens, mugs, etc.) but I also do a fair amount of web design and print design. The business is also set to move into social media and app design and consulting so I need a broad logo that is recognizable. In an ideal world I'd love to have a logo that I could drop the name of the specific branch under or to the side of it.
For example
[Appleson Logo]Designs
[Appleson Logo]
I would like to stay away from using an apple if that is possible unless it is pretty abstract.
Again I am looking for a logo or mark that will represent a family of different businesses all somewhat in the same genre...

The drive from OKC to our overnight was a long one, but worth it. We were staying at the (extremely) rural home of my online friend/beta reader/collaborator Nan. Clark, while not always useful for much more than a laugh at book events, was always willing to drive and carry the heavy stuff, so drive he did, until 11:45 p.m. in Alma, AR.
Cop stop #3. I handed him the insurance, a drill I was quite familiar with now. A state trooper appeared at his window.
"Did you know you've got a tail light out?" he asked, a 30-ish white guy with short dark hair and a friendly tone of voice.
"No, sir, we didn't. Sorry about that." Clark sounded very mature and looked him in the eye. I was proud. He handed the officer his license and insurance.
The officer checked out our credentials then was back. He asked a few polite questions about our origin, destination, and what we were doing in his fair state, then sent us on our way with our third warning. Clark and I switched and I drove the last 45 minutes to Nan's.
As we drove up her long, winding driveway between cattle on either side, Clark said, "Mom, you don't really know his woman. For all you know, she and her husband are vampires, and you're making us spend the night in their lair."
Allie laughed, but I could tell that neither of them were fully confident in my decision to home-stay.
"She's an ordained minister."
"So she says."
"I've been to her website.
"That can be faked."
"Clark, it's going to be all right, and, if it's not, that's why I have my giant son along."
We pulled to a stop and got out. Nan met us at the door. For a vampire, she was perfectly hospitable, and showed us all to our sleeping quarters. She'd even prepared a gift basket for Petey and me. I slept like a rock, although I'm not so sure Clark and Allie did.
The next morning was lovely. I truly enjoyed Nan and her husband. The two of them are farming and raising cattle organically, and we talked a lot about healthy eating. And we laughed a lot too. Around lunchtime, Eric texted me.
"I asked Clark to get a picture of you with Nan, but he said he can't because vampires don't appear on film."
I laughed out loud. "Nan, I'm sorry to admit this, but Clark is a little worried you guys are vampires."
She smiled. "I am a little pale."
Clark said, "See, Mom? I told you."
Later, we caravaned to Benton, AR, two hours away and just south of Little Rock. Almost immediately, red and blue lights flashed in our rear view camera.
Clark pulled over. At least we still had the insurance information out and handy.
A young, white officer with short brown hair spoke in a friendly voice. "Did you know you've got a tail light out?"
It was deja vu all over again.
This time I spoke. "Yes, sir, we were pulled over late last night, and we're headed to town now to get a tail light. We stayed with some friends near here last night."
"Vampires," Clark said, under his breath.
I ignored him, and the officer seemed not to hear him. "Who was the officer? Was he nice to you?"
"Super nice." I handed him the warning.
"Oh, I know him, we used to work together. Good guy."
Actually, I suspected they were related. But, then, isn't everyone in Arkansas?
After the obligatory questions about the book tour, he waved us off with a warning, and we were on our way, again. We arrived in Benton with no further mishap. For the first time, we truly missed the generator, as it was blazing hot, and surprisingly humid.
Siri directed us to a nearby auto parts store, and Clark "helped" Nan's husband change our tail lights. It turned out every single one of them was out except for a single bulb. I suspected Indiana's roads were to blame.
The event itself was quite good. We had our vampire friends there, of course, and a childhood friend of Eric's big brother, from the islands. But on top of that we had wonderful foot traffic, and watched the books leave the store in the hands of happy customers. One child wanted Puppalicious badly, but her mother was short on funds and had already purchased Saving Grace and Clark Kent. Nan couldn't stand it. She handed the woman $12, and Puppalicious to the daughter.
"Oh, thank you," she said, her eyes glowing.
"Now, you get a 2nd one free because it's buy one get one free. Do you want to buy your Mommy a present?" Mom had her eye on Leaving Annalise.
"Sure!" she said.
I pointed at Leaving Annalise, and the woman nodded. Now her eyes glowed. I've never enjoyed signing two books as much.
As much as we would have liked to stay longer and have a late dinner with Nan and her husband, we didn't dare risk another sundown needed to move on to our overnight camping spot. And I needed to work on Loser. I had taken the day off, but it was due to the printer by close of business the next day.
I worked into the night and from sunrise the next morning. I'd love to say I saw Jackson–it was my first visit–but I saw nothing but the Barnes and Noble parking lot when we got there. At 4:30 pm, I clicked save, and then submitted the completed book interior. It felt damn good. After a few swipes of makeup, I hustled into the store, leaving Petey and Allie sweating it out together with the Bookmobile on and it's cab a/c on full blast.
The store bustled and had good, positive energy. As soon as I started setting up my table (and by now I had become a bit obsessive about just how my table should look, causing Eric to warn the kids off, "Don't touch the table, just haul in the stuff and do what she tells you."), customers appeared. I did a brisk business with people I'd never met, and it was fun. But the best was yet to come.
Earlier that day while I was working on Loser, my mind seized upon the first name of a friend's husband, a friend I'd lost touch with a decade before, who had lived in Jackson at the time. I'd searched for her over the years on social media, and done so again before the tour, but I couldn't find her.
"Kelly!" I shouted.
"Huh?" Clark asked.
Angela was married to Kelly. I Googled their names together and up popped an article about their adopted children. Buoyed by this confirmation of their continued existence, I looked up Kelly's law firm, and I emailed him from their site, asking him to put me in touch with my old friend.
He answered in moments, and within minutes Angela and I were texting.
So that is how, with short notice, Angela and her three kids knew of my signing and showed up en masse. It was a real delight to see her and meet them. It turned out she was a big reader, so she took a full set of my books plus lots of extras for her neighbors.
We forgot to take any pictures in Jackson 🙁
But otherwise, we rocked it. Here are some photos from Benton. Emphasis on some. Because vampires don't show up on film.

We overnighted in Mississippi with not a vampire in sight, and we were off to Shreveport and our possible generator before dawn the next day.
The drive from OKC to our overnight was a long one, but worth it. We were staying at the (extremely) rural home of my online friend/beta reader/collaborator Nan. Clark, while not always useful for much more than a laugh at book events, was always willing to drive and carry the heavy stuff, so drive he did, until 11:45 p.m. in Alma, AR.

Work sharing is a method used by many companies to cut down on operating costs without sacrificing the quality of work performed or needing to lay off employees. Generally, work sharing involves the temporary reduction of work hours and lowering of wages throughout the organization until normal levels of revenue or business activity are restored. This is a practice that many organizations use to offset dips in the economy without having to cut staffing numbers or reduce productivity.
Although it has been used in the private business sector throughout the years, work sharing is a program that is most often implemented by government agencies. The term work share is most often referred to as furloughing or government spending cuts. Employees may be asked to work a compressed schedule of four days instead of five, may reduce their shifts by a few hours, or may also be asked to work for one day without pay and use vacation time to offset their paychecks.
Work share is an option that many companies have turned to as a way of avoiding devastating layoffs and the expense of unemployment claims. In addition, it can actually increase employee morale as the entire network of employees makes a sacrifice rather than employers randomly selecting certain departments or employees to let go. As a result of work sharing, employees often team up and handle the workload in a more efficient manner because they don't want to chance losing their jobs.
Work sharing is often adopted by companies during times of economic crisis and has been shown to be very effective at maintaining operations, so long as employees cooperate. The concept of work share actually came about as a result of the Great Depression in the 1920s and has been implemented time and again whenever the economy calls for drastic measures. It has also been used within specific industries that have been hit hard by poor revenues or other economic pitfalls.
It is important to note that work sharing should not be confused with job sharing, in which two employees voluntarily take responsibility for managing the duties of one former full-time employee. Instead, the work share arrangement leaves each person to handle his or her tasks in a more timely manner which allows for a more compressed work week.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Purchasing lockers for a school, office or industrial setting may seem like a daunting task; however, with our expertise in locker supplies, we can help you to make an easy, well-informed purchase. In our Locker Buying Guide you will learn which locker specifications are the most important determinants of what type of lockers you need, and which accessory pieces go with them.
The most important specification to consider is the amount of tiers you want. This is the variable that will lead you to a quick determination of all the characteristics of the locker for your situation. Once you have browsed all of the options you will have pinpointed the perfect locker product. Select that product to order it and double check its description and dimensions to verify that it is, indeed, ideal for what you are looking for.
There are generally six different compartment choices (1 compartment, 2 compartment, 3 compartment, 4 compartment, 5 compartment, 6 compartment), each varying with the number of locker doors in a vertical configuration. An important factor, locker space needed verses the number of individual storage spaces needed, should be determined in order to make your decision.
Full length
2 compartments
3 compartments
4 compartments
5 compartments
What you will be storing in your lockers is also a determining factor in the amount of compartments you choose. Single compartment and double compartment lockers are suitable for almost any storage need. They have the capacity for hanging items such as shirts and jackets. Lockers with three compartments or more are suited for securing smaller items such as athletic gear, handbags, lunches, books, etc. They also are the most space saving units and because of their smaller size you have the advantage of more storage units per locker.
Lockers are available with a variety of different types of lock. All three types offer their own benefits, and we allow you to choose the one that best fits your situation.
Once you have decided on the crucial specifications for your lockers, there are several other choices you can add to the mix. Most accessories are not required for completion of you locker, however they can add a finished more professional look to the locker or create easier cleaning for janitorial staff. Some accessories you may want to consider:

Please join our call for action
We are calling on EU Member States to do more to tackle obesity. In particular we want them to ensure they put in place comprehensive and effective obesity strategies that cover all aspects of weight management.
Such strategies should include promotion of healthier lifestyles, including reduction in demand for and consumption of excessive amounts of high-calorie food and beverage, and greater availability of and access to obesity treatment.
Please help us to show policymakers that many people and organisations support this call for action.
"Obesity should be given much greater attention by European governments, policymakers and healthcare providers. I would like to see a reduction in obesity stigma and more being done to help prevent obesity and to provide care and treatment for those who are already overweight or who have obesity."
You can also get others involved in European Obesity Day by organising events of your own.
