Salt Shakerz, LLC is a lacrosse apparel company that had a big vision. The goal was to grow their clothing line through a strong e-commerce web presence. We created a platform where their lacrosse community can view galleries from past tournaments, profile highlights of the teams they sponsor, interact with the brand through twitter, and most importantly an e-commerce portal that allows users to purchase clothing through the site. The results have been fantastic with over 500 daily hits per day. The development team produced a Content Management System so that the client would have front-end editing capabilities.
One great aspect behind the Salt Shakerz brand was US! Color Culture designed the "Salt Shakerz" brand from the beginning. It started with a paper napkin sketch with CJ Greene at a coffee shop, and has developed into a well known clothing brand across the US lax community. Check out more of our branding work!

The A.A. Sayia brand was established in 1917 and is still family owned. We decided that a rich brand identity needed to be established. Our main challenge was that the spice trade is extremely competitive. The company didn't want to reveal too much content to their competitors.
Our goal was to make Spice Trading elegant. The Art Direction focuses around the rich, deep colors of a spice market while capturing the antiquity of the brand. Now compare that to McCormick's store shelf.

Nowhere creative is the home of John Anderson, a chief technical lead at Fjord and one of the top developers working in New York City. John is Color culture's main partner and has worked on the majority of the web products with development.
Parallax was a big trend in 2012 that was a nice fit for the story that Nowhere wanted to tell. The design objective was to create panels that showcased the range in development and design. The site was done in HTML 5 and all animation was written with Java. That little gnome movement on Nowhere's blog is a nice snippet of code. Our personal favorite with the design is the Contact section.
"Make it look like Google without the color" was the brief we started with. Tough shoes to fill when the point of reference is arguably the leader in the tech industry. Our first step was to re-align expectations because well, we aren't Google. We refocused the project on the brand of Judson Realty. We asked Judson who they are, who their past and future clients are, and what do they want to achieve with their site. We asked them to explain this in one sentence.
The final direction had us focus on the high-end quality brands that Judson Realty has worked for and how long they have been in the real estate practice. Judson Realty is direct with their approach so there was no need for showmanship. We didn't want to put a crazy digital experience. Judson's various realty services offered is the main story. We aimed for a clean structure that maintained a simple grid so that it can also work for web and tablet. The site is developed in HTML 5 and was designed to work across all devices.

The Maxwell Davidson Gallery was founded in 1968 and has been a member of the Art Dealer's Association of America since 1975. The Gallery emphasizes 20th Century Modern and Contemporary paintings, drawings and sculpture with a concentration in Kinetic sculpture. In addition to representing Artists on an exclusive basis, the Gallery also carries the work of major 20th Century masters such as Matisse, Leger, Calder, Wesselmann, Niki De Saint Phalle, Matta, Francis, and Hockney.
The Gallery's primary focus was to highlight the exclusive Artist group they represent. We designed a rotating home page experience that showcases each artist and displays one of their pieces in a dynamic full screen view to the each user's browser. The exhibits were designed in a film strip to show the range of depth that each exhibit offers. The black and white contrast on the page allows the work to sit on a pedestal so that each piece is not drowned out by an over designed web experience.

Judson Realty brokers high-end town homes in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. They approached us after receiving the contract on 19 east that was selling somewhere around the ownership of a sub-par Major League Baseball franchise. All kidding aside, the property was a lush piece of real estate in the heart of the greatest city in the world and we were excited for the opportunity. Judson asked for an iPad application that their realtors could use off-site while entertaining perspective buyers.
The art direction focuses on luxury with a rich, lavish palette of turquoise to highlight the dark woods and white trim details of the building. The deadline was 3 weeks to execute the full build so we opted for an HTML 5 web page that could be viewed across devices an still have a web presence. The property sold under a month after the production of our work.

The Center For Colon & Rectal Health was an interesting challenge based on it's subject matter and the audience. The primary purpose of the site was to provide additional information for patients to help educate and ease home care before & after surgeries. We wanted to create a welcoming/warm experience for such a serious issue. We focused on designing a calm palette. Patients come here to learn about prep before surgeries, medication restrictions, and more about the issues about the symptoms they may be experiencing.
We are proud to help people stay informed about the serious medical issues faced every day and we are happy to welcome CCRH into our broad portfolio.
The excitement of a blank piece of paper will never lose it's allure on us. The idea of creating a personal connection with our design is what drives us. This is a part of our collection that we have really enjoyed throughout the years. Working with friends, colleagues, and clients to help them pursue ideas and dreams that have kept them up at night.
Our style is clean and simple for logo work. We conduct an elaborate type search to identify the right font for your brand. From there we work systematically to identify the color scheme and imagery that fits your company's voice and objectives.
Print will always be our first love. We understand that print has been declining as digital services grow but it will never be erased. Business stationery is always a cornerstone for every brand. The business card is good design challenge because of it's limited real estate. The logo needs to stand apart but also deliver key information (website, location, phone, etc.) that is easy to digest.
We are happy to present some of the fine examples that we have delivered for business cards in various industries.

99% of clients have a hard time describing exactly what they are looking to achieve. Marisa Pagano was the 1% and was an absolute breath of fresh air. Marisa knew exactly what she wanted for a "Save the Date", including reference from other stationary, and even did a sketch comp. The project couldn't have gone smoother.

I decided that Random.org is too boring for drawing out fun giveaways and wrote out the names of each of the 70 entries on paper, cut them out, put them in my mail pencil case and drew out two winners. As I have enough postcards to spare I thought I might give away a third pack to a particularly creative entry, C and I deliberated and chose our favourite;
So, the three very worthy winners are Kittycat, Penpalling and Letters and Call Me Rondy. I'll be in touch to send your packages to you asap!
Of course, to any one who didn't win and would still like some of these postcards, they're for sale here for $5/5-pack or $1.50 each. Thank you so much for entering and participating, I loved reading each answer - I love giveaways and I can't wait to do another.

There is a small country in South East that the banana pancake trail has often ignored. For obvious reasons of having a strict no-alcohol policy. But the Sultanate of Brunei, has been so silent in the tourism affairs of South East Asia, that is has an almost enigmatic halo around it. I was curious about this oil-rich country which nobody went to visit. And in my case, curiosity kills the wallet.
So, there I was, on a AirAsia flight, from Kuala Lumpur to Bandar Seri Begawan, in Brunei Darussalam.
Read: Go off-the-beaten track in Kuala Lumpur. Visit the Batu Caves.
I had a few friends (interestingly, they were all employees of Shell, who have worked/visited/lived in the oil-rich Brunei) who told me that there was absolutely nothing in Brunei worth visiting. But, as luck would have it, I rarely listen to others. So, Brunei it was, for a weekend trip.
A little bit of background about the country would help here. A former British protectorate, Brunei is a relatively new country, gaining independence only in 1984. And geographically, you wouldn't be blamed if you didn't notice Brunei on a world map, since it's almost hidden in the North-eastern strip of Eastern Malaysia. It is surrounded by Malaysia, and consists of 2 physically separate entities. One side consists of the districts of Brunei & Muara, Tutong, and Belait. And the other side, which is isolated from the rest of Brunei is the eastern district of Temburong.
If you though Malaysia was the most Islamic state in South East Asia, you MUST visit Brunei! The small country is dotted with lavish mosques, and a stroll through the capital on a Friday at lunch time will be the closest that you will ever get to walking in an Urban desert, because almost the entire country will be at their Friday Namaz prayers.
After a short flight, I finally landed in the capital city, Bandar Seri Begawan. The airport formalities were relatively easy. I had a visa already, and even signed the alcohol permit for a bottle of vodka that I was carrying.
Read: Funny landings? Check out the most insane airplane landing I experienced, in Dili, Timor Leste.
A quick point to note here. You cannot get Alcohol anywhere in the country. A tourist can bring in up to 2 litres of Alcohol, provided that he/she is not a Muslim. And provided that he/she signs an alcohol permit which states that the booze is for their own consumption. Given the difficulty to obtain alcohol, I don't think I would share my precious bottle of Vodka with anybody! And also note that you have to declare the alcohol, which is strongly recommended because the airport customs have absolutely no problem with you carrying alcohol, as long as you declare and sign the permit. But if you are caught without a permit, the consequences could be different.
It was only 10 AM in the morning. I was couchsurfing in Brunei, with a friend I met in Singapore, but she was to be free only around 3 or 4 PM. So, I carried my not-so-heavy backpack, and headed out of the airport to find transport to the city. On the way, I was super-elated to find my favorite Filipino fast food restaurant, Jollibee, right in the airport!
One can take a taxi from the airport to the city, but the cost would be around 20-30 SGD/B$. A better option, which I took up, is to take a short walk to the bus stop near the car park, from where you could find a bus to the city centre for 2 SGD/B$.
Oh, in case you got confused with the currencies above, Brunei and Singapore have a unique currency interoperability agreement. Which means that the value of Brunei and Singapore currencies is the same, and both are accepted in the other countries, an arrangement similar to the Indian rupee- Bhutanese Ngultrum. So, if you are travelling from Singapore to Brunei, you do not have to exchange your Singapore dollars to Brunei dollars. And the same applies vice versa. The only exception, which I was to find out when I returned back to Singapore, is coins. Brunei coins will not be accepted in Singapore, and Singapore coins will not be accepted in Brunei.
The ride to the city center lasts roughly 30 mins, and will end in Jalan Cator. Once I got down, I was left confused. I was banking on my couchsurfing host to show me some spots of Brunei, so I did not know what to see on my own in this city! I wanted to sit down and plan for a little bit, so decided to light up a cigarette. And that's when you find out that almost nobody in Brunei smokes because cigarettes are so hard to get here! Mind you, smoking is not illegal. Its just that you will feel so weird smoking, while everyone in the country is staring at you, because they can't. In their stares, I could sense fleeting moments of mistrust, disgust and even contempt.
I continued to walk, aimlessly, around the Jalan Cator area. When in doubt in BSB (as Bandar Seri Begawan is called shortly), just follow the sound of the Brunei River. And a short 5 minutes later, passing by the High Commission of Canada, you reach an art museum called Galeri Seni. I have never been interested in Museums, so I walked straight past it, to the Bandar Seri Begawan Royal wharf, to take a look at the Brunei river, or Sungei Brunei as it is called locally.
At one look, the Brunei river was even more muddier than the Singapore River, which I have made so much fun of in the past. So, when a boatman pulled up to me shortly, offering me a 1 hour ride on the river, I was thinking to myself: "Why would anybody want to ride a boat on this river"?
But, I had plenty of time to kill and nothing to do. So, I accepted his offer for 20 Dollars, and hopped on the boat.
If MotoGP ever gets played on water, it should be on the Brunei river! These boatmen are crazy! They ride those things in the water at speeds in excess of 60 KPH, and do not cause any accidents, or at least, I didn't get to see any.
The main attraction on the boat ride, was the Kampong Ayer. Or Water village. The water village is an entire village which appears to be floating on the Brunei river, but are actually deep-stilted houses. In the past, these stilt houses were built the traditional way, with bamboos and stuff. But now, it is not rare to see entire concrete stilts on the river. Hell, there was even a whole primary school built on stilts!
The people on the Kampong Ayer are really nice. Everyone I saw, returned my smile with a warm and genuine smile. I am not sure if this had more to do with the novelty of seeing a rare tourist, but I can't say that I did not enjoy it. The boat ride took me all the way to the bank of the Istana Nurul Iman, which is the residential palace of the Sultan, and is the world's largest residential palace in occupation. It sits on an artificial hill, and is said to be estimated at around US$300 million.
When visiting Brunei, if you plan to visit the Istana, here is something that you MUST know. This palace is open to the public only for the 3 days immediately after the Ramadan (fasting month). Otherwise, it is closed throughout the year. I tried to take a picture from the Kampong Ayer, but it does no justice to the pictures of the Istana that I have seen in magazines. So, not going to upload that for sure!
The Istana will be another blog post!

Hello again. Hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend. Here are some things I did:
1. I went to Kitchen Arts and Letters with my mom. This amazing little book store carries new, used, rare, and out of print books about cooking, food, and drinking. It's a wonderfully old-school bookstore and I loved it. Go check it out on Lexington and 95th.
2. While I was at Kitchen Arts and Letters, I go this adorable little book about macarons. I have only tried to make these once with partial success, but now that I have this handbook devoted entirely to the creation and perfection of the macaron, maybe it is time to try again. The book is also available on Amazon.
3. I added two more plants to my collection: an aloe plant because my mother thinks I'll need it when I burn myself, which I actually did last week making the gooey butter cake, so perhaps she is right; and a pretty little rose bush. Hopefully I won't kill either of them.
4. I can't help it; I have to admit that I am an insane Duke basketball fan and we won a national championship last night. So that was a pretty huge part of my weekend.

Barely a week after Alhaji Aliko Dangote opened up a tomato paste factory in Kano state, Nigeria, his company, the Dangote Group, which specialises in the production of rice, cement and several other goods, has won the African Company of the Year Award at the 2016 Africa CEO Forum.
The award was presented by the Founder and President of the Africa CEO Forum, Mr. Amir Ben Yahmed, who recognised the company for achieving the most remarkable expansion on the continent in 2015.
The Dangote Group was nominated alongside Safaricom, Ascendis Health, Ison Group, Seplat, Maroc Telecom, Naspers and Sanalam.
At the event, Dangote expressed the intent he has to expand Nigeria's sugar industry, so that the country can become self-sufficient. He admitted to the fact that times are hard economically, but that doesn't seem to be an impediment for the well-rounded businessman. He is rolling out an investment plan, seeking to expand Nigeria's sugar sector to make the country self-sufficient. "These are hard times, but hard times bring opportunities," he said.
He also spoke about African trade and how it affects economic growth. In his opinion, Africa must learn the ability to connect manufacturing industries with local feedstock, from cotton growing to textile factories. "The more you trade with yourself, the less exposed you are to global shocks," he said. This is completely in line with the position experts have maintained in the past about African trade, insisting that production of goods and services as well as local trade must occur within first, so as to develop the economy.
Also, Nigeria's Oba Otudeko, the CEO of Honeywell Flour Mills Limited, won the CEO of the Year Award, for his achievements in the fields of development, governance (strategy and leadership) and financial performance. In his acceptance speech, he implied that Africa's future is reliant on the patriotic African.
The Africa CEO Forum, which is the foremost international meeting for African CEOs, bankers and investors, took place on 21st and 22nd March 2016 in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. During the event themed; "Succeeding in challenging times", discussions revolved around contributions the private sector and how this Can lead to the growth of various economies around the continent. This year's event was the fourth in the series and held on African soil for the first time.

Porsche is marking the 40th anniversary of the 928 this year, and it has big celebrations in store for the upcoming Oldtimer Grand Prix – one of Germany's preeminent classic car events, taking place at the Nürburgring in just a few days from now.
Though arguably not as iconic as the 911, the 928 remains a legend among Porschephiles. It was the company's last luxury grand tourer until the Panamera arrived, and is only growing in popularity among enthusiasts and collectors.
The model launched in 1977 as a 2+2 and represented the height of Zuffenhausen's transaxle models, with a V8 engine up front driving the rear wheels. That engine grew in size over the course of nearly two decades of production, from 4.5 liters at launch to 5.4 by the time its lifecycle culminated in 1995.
It was the manufacturer's first V8, presaging those you'd find today in the Panamera, Cayenne, and 918 Spyder – whose similar nameplate may very well not be a coincidence. By the time production came to a close, eighteen years after it begun, Porsche had sold over 60,000 of them – the most common being the original 928, followed by the S4 and the S1/S2.
At the Nürburgring this weekend, Porsche will bring out several 928s – including the one-of-a-kind four-door prototype that lead the way for the Panamera, along with a convertible prototype that also never saw production, and a racing version recently restored in the UK.

"I was truly honored to be offered the position of a Brem fellow. This fellowship offers a truly unique experience, providing a great education in interpreting breast imaging studies, but also teaches one how to provide compassionate care for patient's in their time of need, how to educate women about breast cancer screening and diagnosis, and empower them to take charge of their health."
Dr. Taylor is from South Bend, Indiana. She completed her undergraduate degree in biological sciences at the University of Notre Dame and her medical degree at Temple University. She then completed her training in diagnostic radiology at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania. It was here she was first exposed to breast imaging, realizing the importance of receiving exceptional training in breast imaging given how impactful this field is in the lives of women. She will be returning to Geisinger Medical Center following fellowship to continue a career in breast imaging and plans to use the skills she learned in fellowship to provide compassionate care for her patients.

PTI govt cannot be trusted with cracking down against banned organisations: Bilawal
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Thursday said he does not trust PTI with cracking down on banned organisations while reiterating his demand that the government remove from the federal cabinet a trio of ministers who he accuses of having "long-held ties" with proscribed organisations.
"We doubt your intentions [of the promised crackdown against proscribed organisations] because you were allied with proscribed organisations [when you] fought elections," Bilawal said, referring to the ruling party.
"Everyone knows that three ministers in the cabinet have a long history with banned outfits. Until you remove them, we will keep doubting you," he said.
"One minister's video went viral on social media. He can be seen assuring them [leaders of a proscribed party] that 'we will not take action against you until our government is in place'.
"The other minister made inductions into the PTI from UN-banned organisations like HUM (Harkatul Mujahideen al-Islami) during the elections. He then said on the floor of the house that 'If you are speaking against banned outfits and the National Action Plan then that is against the country's interest.
"The third one not only has a long history of being associated with banned outfits, but he has also helped run militant outfits and training camps," the PPP leader alleged.
"Folks with this mentality should not be in the 'Naya Pakistan' cabinet," he said.
The 'viral video' Bilawal is referring to could possibly be one which features Minister of State for Interior Shehryar Khan Afridi giving assurances to a group of men.
In the video, which has been circulating on social media for quite some time, Afridi can be seen in the company of a group of men, one of whom briefs him about the authorities' plan to put the Milli Muslim League — which had been the political front for the Jamaatud Dawa — on a list of proscribed organisations.
To this, Afridi replies: "God willing, till we are in the assembly and till the PTI stands, no one can ... Forget Hafiz Saeed sahab, we will support whoever supports Pakistan and its [sovereign] right. This is our belief. It will be our request to you to come and sit in the assembly and see for yourself whether we [are the ones who] stand for the kalma-e-haq, or others do."
It bears mentioning that the government has stated as a matter of policy that it wishes to 'mainstream' militant groups by creating economic, social and political incentives to encourage them to give up violence as a way of life. This policy was unequivocally opposed by Bilawal in the National Assembly last week.
Tensions rising
Bilawal had first put forth his accusations against the government ministers in a marathon press conference on Wednesday, alleging that the Pakistan Tehreek-iInsaf (PTI) government was victimising opposition parties but not taking action against banned organisations, which was against the spirit of the National Action Plan (NAP) to counter terrorism.
The criticism came as the state speeds up its cases against the PPP's senior leadership for its alleged involvement in a multi-billion rupee fake bank accounts scandal. The fake accounts were used to launder money for senior PPP leaders, including Bilawal's father Asif Ali Zardari and aunt Faryal Talpur, the Federal Investigation Agency believes.
Earlier in the day, State Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Mohammad Khan had urged "Bilawal to provide proof, if he has any, against the ministers".
"Levelling allegations without proof is an unreasonable act," Khan said. "Evidence should be presented so that the prime minister can take action.
The state minister, however, agreed with Bilawal that if any minister "is in contact with any banned outfit then they should be sacked".
"I do not know which ministers he is referring to," he added.
The debate on action against proscribed organisations comes roughly a week after the government took 44 under-observation members of proscribed organisations, including Mufti Abdul Raoof and Hamad Azhar (no relation to the Minister of State for Revenue) — the brother and son of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) leader Masood Azhar, respectively — in "preventive detention" for investigation.
The crackdown has acquired a renewed urgency as a Financial Action Task Force review looms of measures Pakistan is taking to counter money laundering and terror financing.

Pti is working very well with the army ..
well said, truth prevails.
Your government and Pmln after you did nothing whatsoever. So you have nothing to speak for on this!
Ok, So can we trust your party?
In other words, make my prime minister I will do that for you.
Next week when they are all arrest for corruption all western media will say oh look it's because he spoke against militant groups. Slow slow slow NAB has given them this opportunity.
At least someone talking truth in Pakistan.
An outcome of a defeated mind...
Your party corruption story is coming to an end therefore you are saying like this.
@Aziz, Yes she always wants it.
The world knows it very well. There is no control on good and bad things. The only focus is more loans.
This truth is very well known to all.
Assad Umer is right. This is guy is working for external masters.
And we can trust him and his father a lot.
You are only worried about your assets nothing else.
This guy seems to have lots of guts to tell this... Please be careful
When it comes to protecting national honor, every political party is equally patriotic and loyal to the national cause. Let us be clear and tell all those who mix patriotism with politics that they are not sincere with the country.
So we're to trust the people known and tested to be untrustworthy multiple times, is that what you're saying?
@Ali, Excellent.
Atleast they are trying to do something to address the problem. All you and your patymen did was loot and plunder.
Your track record against such groups when you were in government is not great either (apart from verbal condemnation) to give you guys the benefit of the doubt
I went abroad longtime ago and perhaps see things outside the box. What I see that this young man Bilawal believes that people of Sind are some kind of fools and they will believe him and follow blindly what ever he says - true, lie, misleading, etc. leaders are suppose to help masses and not to grab power and protect there wealth and assets.
Serious charges that require swift and immediate rebuttal...
Gordon D. Walker
You are right only you and your father can be trusted as Pakistan was very safe during your father's period as president
Mr. Gaz,
Very deep analysis.
Truth is bitter.
@bhaRAT©, well stated.
@FairPlay , yes, he means all the fake accounts.
....the boy has much to learn. He should read up on history and find out which political party was in power and supported the formation of the Taliban. Playing politics on the ill advice of others is a sure way to a fast downfall.
Only the Zardaris can be trusted
How exactly is Bilawal qualified to comment on government matters? Has he done a real job?
Yes! Bilawal we do not trust anyone but your Dear Daddy.
@Mujtaba, - are you being sarcastic?
I agree with him
If there is any party that deserves our trust it's PTi .love Imran and love what he does for Pakistan .
Shut up!
Coming from a guy whose Dad runs one for the biggest crime mafia in Karachi.
Well, you are connected with one of the most corrupt people to have ever been known in Pakistan, and you inherited most all that money. Don't point your finger at anyone until you have looked at yourself in the mirror
A desperate cry for winding up corruption cases plus attention of western masters. you can never be a leader like ZA Bhutto man...
Look who is speaking Son of Zardari as if his father can be trusted. IK was playing cricket when extremism and terrorism commenced in Pakistan and it was only PPP and PML N at that time . So why to blame IK ???
Proof is available on the internet.
What is disgrace!! Will we ever get rid of Bhuttos, Zardaris, and Shariffs???
They have almost banned you Bilawal. A great achievement.
says the party who wouldn't launch the karachi op because they had militant wings as well. instead supreme court had to send in the rangers.
Just shut up Bilawal!!
Mostly corrupt people side with all their corrupt masters
All indians betting big on Billawal!! Just like for Nawaz and co mafia! Rulers are not fools.
That's Ok. The people of the country - from Karachi to Peshawar cannot trust PPP for anything!
No matter how hard you try to be a Bhutto, everyone considers you a Zardari, which is part of the problem with your party's trust defucit.
Catch my drift?
What nonsense! What did his party & father do while they were in power and what did his Uncle MNS do when he led the country? So easy to throw stones when you have no responsibility nor the experience or wisdom to manage wider issues afflicting Pakistan. It's pathetic to see supposedly more experienced so-called politions listening to diatribe of a 30 year old whose only qualification is that he was born into the Bhutto clan and a silver-spoon in his mouth.
@M. Saeed, ppp is not loyal with Pakistan .
Showing his true colors....
IK in the past openly support banned organizations and was against any operation to curb down terrorism; I agree with Bilawal, PTI and its ministers can't be trusted in this matter.
Bilawal has no clue.
So you want to do what you did in last 15 yrs. Collaborate with banned organizations and collect bhatia and send looted wealth abroad ... bilawal speaks indian tone.
Bilawal made cases against himself easy to decide His name should be on ecl.
Ppp speaks modis language
Bilawal Zardari forgot to mention Uzair Baloch the former chief of the 'Peoples Aman Committee', which was a militant group linked to the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). Baloch is accused in several cases involving murder, extortion and terrorism, and after being arrested many times, became a fugitive wanted by law enforcement agencies.
Due to his influential ties,(Asif Ali Zardari & Faryal Talpur) it is alleged that Baloch enjoyed political patronage and was "protected" by the PPP from facing charges.
This close to FATF. You guys are dangerously worthless and selfish. Regardless both father and son belong in prison no matter the outcome.
You can't be trusted around other me
Every day Bilawal is trying to turn people against PTI GOVT. by bringing out meaningless things. He is trying his best to save his father's skin against the corruption his father and his accomplices have done.
This guy only wants the power to fulfill his selfish motives, we should not trust him, rather we can not trust him.
You are absolutely right, I don't trust pti anymore because you and your criminal father is still free
We want you to leave us and never show us your face again.
you can utter whatever you want when you are defeated. Nawaz and Zardari's have looted the country, they can NO longer be trusted
Arrest his father AZ first as he is the most corrupt and dangerous person in the parliament!
Zardari did no such thing during his tenure. This family politics needs to come to an end, with political parties existing not to enrich a few, but for the good of the many.
Well said Bilawal, this will come back and haunt you.
If PTI can't be trusted, please could you tell people of Pakistan what your government did in the last 5 years to crack down? Hypocrisy at its best!! People should do the most to make them realise this!
This is not against PTI but against Pakistan and an effort to make US, UK, india happy.
Bilawal can now win elections from rajistan. :)
He is fast loosing any support he had......
Here is another loser and freeloader Bilawal zardari who just want to support his corrupt father zardari. Sad to see him making false and contorted statements.
faulty piece.
Bilawal is correct he and his father are still not locked up and all there looted assets are not confiscated.
Mr. Ahmed,
Don't you know that Mr. Bilawal Zardari doesn't have any knowledge of Pakistan.
He doesn't know where Thar and Mitthe are located in his home province Sindh.
A selected chairman of the most corrupt regional political party PPP is a big ZERO.
@Laraib Imtiaz,
Mr. Laraib Imtiaz,
Not only him and his father but all Zardaris, Bhuttos, Talpurs, Memons, Shahs, Durranis, Khuhros, etc., who are corrupt to the core.
Mr. bhaRAT,
The statements of Mr. Bilawal Zardari are the entertainments and enjoyments for the people.
Please don't take these seriously.
@bhaRAT©, I am from the other side , but even we know that PPP or PMLN were not allowed to go after these organisations , so don't blame them , look within.
Mr. WASEEM MALIK,
Because Mr. Bilawal Zardari is one of the directors of Zardari-Group which is involved in the crimes of money-launderings and corruptions.
and what did PPP do when it was in power?
Mr. Moth,
For decades the most corrupt regional political party PPP used in the rural areas of Sindh Sindh-Card. And due to this most corrupt party PPP got votes.
Now the inhabitants of the rural areas of Sindh have realised that this Sindh-Card brought them poverty, illiteracy and backwardness.
Unfortunately, Sindh is the most backward province in or of Pakistan.
Hopefully, Sindh-Card will not play any role in the rural areas of Sindh.
For all Indians commenting here, Bilawal is Rahul Gandhi of Pakistan with dynasty politics and has nothing to show for as far as credibility is concerned.
@Omar Sahaf, No but he's too frustrated due to NAB actions, so he's adopting the same line of statements like Mian Nawaz Sharif & Co, no doubt such statements are controversial and not acceptable to people. Somebody may please take notice of such an derogatory and irresponsible statement and file an FIR against Bilawal for such treacherous blame. PTI may also confront in an appropriate way.
A parrot nothing else.. on his own he can nothing! Masters behind hin whispers what to say.. be a man and do not make others corrupt misuse you!
Bilawal vision is to save corruption of his dad and for that he will say anything.
Sorry dear , but you party can not be trusted for an thing.
Says the party that caused havoc in layari... And did nothing until SC took notice and rangers did action
Who was uzair baloch being supported by politically? O remember it's ppp
I agree. So, who can be trusted? Surely, Zaradari, Nawaz Sharif and Maulana can be trusted.
The son is trying hard to save his father's skin!
When his daddy was the PM he was so busy looting Pakistan that he had no time to get rid of terrorism. Maybe Bilawal will do a better job as the PM.
Look who's talking. What have you ever done in your life other then the achievement of having been born a Zardari from a Bhutto mother!
@saeed, Is these baned orgination are good for pakistan?
Indians, don't get happy - just like how modi panders to the local audience by making fibs, likewise these two parties (PPP & PMLN) do to. Imran Khan is your best chance for long lasting peace.
@Nit , "we know that PPP or PMLN were not allowed to go after these organisations ," They were not allowed to amass wealth while being in power either, but they somehow did it. When there is a will there is way, and when there is a dollar bill you always find a way.
You called PMLN all kinds of names and now you stand by them in their hour of need to get out of corruption cases. Also, you have started acting like a "leader" but you have never done a day's paid work anywhere in the world. Who gives you the right to act as if you are a politician. No one believes a word of what you say. I would suggest you leave politics and look after the businesses of your father as he is going to prison for a long time.
@Ahmed, I have been saying this all along. This boy has never done a day's paid work and now behaves as if he is some kind of a leader!. People of Sindh are not as foolish as you think.
Mr. Bilawal Zardari,
You are aware of this truth that PPP is worse than PML-N.
Please not this or not that.
You will also be standing before the court for inherited properties and cash amounts through corruptions and money-launderings.
Such time is coming.
Flanked by a gang of thieves from the PPP Zardari gang, he needs to be jailed too. The press should squelch these baseless press releases by parties and party members.
Wadera Inc going overboard!

BILLIONAIRE Western Force backer Andrew Forrest has accused the Australian Rugby Union of "cowardly" tactics in the Super Rugby saga and said they're targeting the Force for removal because they're out of sight in WA.
Forrest's spray came as the ARU and Rugby WA continued to play the waiting game for a result from last week's arbitration hearing, which will determine if the ARU can shut down the Force.
Forrest was this week likened to Donald Trump by Force centre Curtis Rona and the WA mining magnate lived up to that billing in a feisty Sydney radio interview.
Explaining why he was backing the Force, Forrest slammed the ARU for litigating with the Force, accused the national body of being "eastern seaboard-centric" and also fired shots at Melbourne and former private owner Andrew Cox for the "underhand" deal last week that saw ownership transferred to the "penniless" Victorian Rugby Union.
"Which ever way it (the arbitration) goes, either for the Western Force or against the Western Force, for me it doesn't matter," Forrest said on 2GB on Tuesday.
"Let's just make a decision on what's best for the game
"Litigation is not leadership. Litigation is a very weak form — I think almost a cowardly form — of getting any agreement done. It's the last resort."
The legal fight was kicked off by Rugby WA in April after the ARU announced either the Force or the Rebels would be shut down to reduce Australia's Super Rugby teams from five to four.
Rugby WA successfully won an injunction based on an alliance agreement with the ARU, who'd taken over the battling club in 2016. A clause in the agreement said the Force would play in Super Rugby until the end of the broadcast agreement in 2020.
The ARU argued a new broadcast agreement had been struck for SANZAAR's return to Super 15 next year, and that clause was at the centre of the arbitration hearing.
Forrest said the judiciary should not have been required.
"I just wanted the ARU to sit down and talk and ask: "what do you need our of rugby? Do you need a really strong support base? Do you need a fabulous grassroots growing movement? Do you need a crop of Wallabies who are being grown in their home state? Do you need a growing crowd? Do you need a sea of supporters? Do you need to know a membership base is growing faster than anywhere else?"
"Well, if they're all your criteria then the last team you would bump off the list is the Western Force."
Forrest said the Force coming second in the Australian conference, equal with the Brumbies on six wins, showed it was the most promising franchise.
"And yet because we are over the Nullarbor, it is easy for (ARU chairman) Cameron (Clyne) and easy for an eastern seaboard-centric board to say "actually … we know it is a bad decision, we know its bad for rugby but they're out of sight, we'll cut the Western Force'," Forrest told 2GB.
The ARU declined to respond to Forrest's comments.
Forrest publicly threw his support behind the Force in recent weeks and has pledged to bankroll legal action, and even offered $1000-interest free loans to fans to buy "Own the Force" shares. Those loans will be repaid to Rugby WA to spend on grassroots.
But as he has been in the past, Forrest appears to be not interested in buying the Force outright; a move that would put the most pressure on the ARU given their no. 1 reason to cut the WA team is poor finances.
Forrest fired a barb at Cox and said the VRU taking ownership of Melbourne was "out of one frying pan into the fire" financially.
"It's about community ownership (at the Force)," Forrest said.
"It's not about this embarrassment that Melbourne had, they had an entrepreneur — and that's a kind term — owning the Melbourne Rebels and to get out of that they did this swift underhand deal.
"They didn't tell the ARU as they were supposed to, they did an underhand deal to get it out of the hands of a single person and into the hands of the Victorian Rugby Union, which hasn't got a bean to bless itself with anyway. So it's out of one frying pan into a fire.
"And I am trying to say: 'so that's a better idea to keep them and cutting the … fastest improving union in the country? Let's cut them because they're over the Nullarbor?'
"I am just saying short-sightedness is not what we need in leadership."

Lorna, " the Buddhist with a funny bone" (thank you Devina) with the
world.. .internet… WordPress… close but no cigar…aspiring-to-be famous and brilliantly… cleverly…obviously named blog, Lorna's Voice, has recently hired the wildly successful…totally fictional company, Readum N. Weap Ink, Inc., to represent her in all of her future writing endeavors.
Readum N. Weap Ink, Inc. is a full service fictional agency that handles only clueless memoir writers who are blonde, dizzy, and, well, so far, that's who we handle. We've got one customer, and she's a doozy!
As Lorna's representative, we've been asked to give you an update on her life so that you, her loyal readers and stalkers, will rest easier knowing the intricate details that form the foundation of scandals, which, we in the writing business call priceless publicity.
You may not have heard much from Lorna lately, who is, if your haven't noticed, one great blogger to have on your side (part of our service is to make our client seem too good to be true, which, in Lorna's case is easy because she is…true and and too good).
She's gone missing because she was whisked away by her handsome man to an undisclosed vacation spot in a foreign country that sounds a lot like Fanada. Se went voluntarily. We don't want to start any rumors. Lorna turned off her computer because it was about to explode from overuse–or maybe she was about to explode from overuse (she was fuzzy on those details when we spoke), and left the for Quebec City with nothing electronic but her navigational system, which we don't think is really electronic–it's more run on a magic/luck/hooliganistic system powered by evil spells. Oops. Our bad. We disclosed the undisclosed destination. Did we mention we have VERY LOW introductory rates for our dizzy blonde memoir customers? Anyway. They had a great time.
As part for our "good" service, Readum N. Weap Ink, Inc. suggested that Lorna distribute several copies of her memoir manuscript to people willing to read the thing for free and give her editorial and silly typo corrections/comments because we didn't
want to know how to do it. She distributed six copies. To date here are the results:
- Four copies were returned with actual feedback. From these copies, Lorna learned that: she sucks at proof-reading her own work, she's a very funny and effective writer if you can get past all the typos, and even people who know her life story didn't want the book to end (all 270 pages of it). Which means they still want her to live. Which is a very good sign.
- One copy is still with her younger sister who doesn't get a lot of time to read and is a perfectionist. Lorna may get her edits back by the time the book goes to print.
- The other copy is with Lorna's son. He's afraid to read the book because it contains details of his mother as a young and rowdy woman. For some reason, sons don't like to think of their mothers as humans. The book also has details of his mother's emotional journey as a wife–a lonely, lonely wife. For some reason, sons don't like to face the emotional baggage of their mothers, even though they have no problem making their mothers schlep their emotional baggage. This is why sons grow up someday and have children of their own.
Readum N. Weap Ink, Inc. is now in the process of selecting a professional editor who knows memoirs even better than we do, which is setting the bar a little too low for Lorna's liking, so we have to play our A-game and find someone real good. Lorna is so picky. She wants someone who doesn't already love her to read her book and tell her what s/he thinks of it. With standards like that, she'll never write a Harlequin Romance. But it's her life and her savings account.
It's our obligation her at Readum N. Weap Ink, Inc. to notify you that Lorna will, once again, be on the road for the next several days. She is accompanying her handsome man on one of his many business trips. As such, she will be left alone in the hotel room all day for several days. She'll be in Pennsylvania, but don't get any wild ideas to go scouring the big state of PA to find Lorna so you can fill her day time with drama. She has lots of YOUR blog posts she needs to catch up on and maybe a few of her own to write. So, for the love of God, leave her alone. We'd hate to have our sister (or brother) affiliate Dewey Hafta and Sons come after you. Their motto is: "We may not wanna, but we will because, hey, we're here anyway." Trust us, you don't want to be dealing with these guys; we pay them in denominations of six-packs.
Disclaimer: This newsflash is the sole property of Readum N. Weap Ink, Inc. Lorna, as a client, had nothing to do with the content of this ad, but has generously allowed us to use her blog to broadcast this announcement because we can't afford our own free site. If anything, and we do mean anything, from this announcement is quote-unquoted, disunderstood, or unfactually misunderepresented, you will getting a visit from Dewey Hafta and Sons. And they will already be paid in full…

High Intensity Interval Training: An All-Out Workout/
Have you ever tried a HIIT workout? ;)
Today on Alive in the Fire, I'm honored to share a guest blog post from an experienced personal trainer, Justina Triasovaite. If you're looking to mix up your yoga routine and burn fat, try this high-intensity interval training circuit! Justina lives in London, where she shares her passion for fitness with clients on a daily basis.
HIIT or high intensity interval training has become increasingly widespread in recent years. The training technique is now very popular in gyms and various studios across the world. Research has shown that it is a great way to lose fat and get in shape.
I personally love to incorporate HIIT with my clients; in fact, it has proven to be a great way to bring a new and exciting energy to our sessions.
In this article I will explain to you why I've continued to include HIIT and give you an example of my favourite routine.
Let's get started!
1) Benefits of HIIT training
The benefits of HIIT training are varied and will often align with your fitness goals, whether you are looking to lose fat or enhance your agility:
i) HIIT saves time at the gym. A typical workout is usually only 20-30 minutes long and because the intensity is so high it will often be equivalent to a longer, less intense exercise regime.
ii) This type of training is also great for fat loss. It has proven to result in a much greater fat loss in comparison to moderate cardiovascular activity.
iii) HIIT also improves your overall health, including your resting heart rate.
iv) HIIT improves your overall performance especially your agility and speed. It is a great technique to learn if you are looking to enhance your performance in a particular sport or martial art.
v) Thankfully, HIIT can be performed anywhere because it requires no special equipment. This also means it is inexpensive and accessible, so there is no excuse to not give it a try!
2) Who is it For?
High intensity interval training technique might not be for everyone. The workouts are usually very rigorous and require a lot of effort. Even for professional athletes it may prove to be difficult especially if they more commonly engage in less intense types of training.
Unless you are an experienced gym-goer I would recommend you start at 70-80% of your maximum effort and ease yourself into the intensity required. After you feel comfortable and confident then it is time to move on to ALL OUT workouts!
3) The Workout
HIIT workout does not need to be exclusively performed on the treadmill. There are different variations which you can try and then you can choose the one that suits your needs
Almost any body weight exercise can be used for high intensity interval training. I usually give my clients 3-4 different rounds. Doing various combinations is going to challenge different muscles, keep your workouts interesting and resist the monotony that sometimes arises whilst doing repetitive exercises. Be creative!
Here is a brief example that I have used repeatedly to great effect:
1) Begin with Burpees, go into 5-10 second sprints on the spot. Repeat this 5 times with 10-15 second breaks in between.
2) Follow this with 10 seconds of jumping squats, 10 seconds of jumping lunges and 30 seconds in the plank position (use plank as an active rest). Repeat this 5 times.
3) Then 20 seconds of vertical jumps followed by 20 seconds of press-ups. Repeat 5 rounds of this combination with 20-30 second breaks in between.
4) Finally, 20 seconds of high knees, followed by 20 seconds of box jumps. As with the vertical jumps repeat 5 rounds with 20-30 second breaks and the exercise regime is complete!
4) Things to Consider
HIIT workouts are very challenging but they are meant to push you to your limit so that you can achieve your dream fitness goals. A lot of people think it is just fast paced cardio. It is more than that, however, and if you want the maximum results and benefits you have to give it your all.
Try and do HIIT with a partner or a personal trainer and you will see how much harder you can push yourself. Sometimes our brain stops our bodies from maximum effort in order to prevent consequences - sore muscles and stress. But when it comes to HIIT training saying, "train hard or go home" is the best attitude!
While it may prove difficult, I encourage you to remain motivated and stay enthusiastic about your fitness goals!

'Indecent' : Our Generation's Most Fascinating Play/
Earlier this month, I wrote a column boasting how this past year was the best year for plays as far back as I can remember. I stated that if each play had premiered in different years from one another, they each would have won the Tony.
While each show was excellent for a variety of reasons, none has kept me thinking more and more than Paula Vogel's "Indecent". The play recounts the controversy surrounding the play God of Vengeance by Sholem Asch, for which the cast of the original production were arrested on the grounds of obscenity.
The play cuts deep, to say the least. It's a powerful piece that is always captivating. And for 2017, it's become required viewing.
With our headlines being dominated by stories of homophobia, censorship, and anti-Semitism, work like this becomes teachable and can spark ideas and much-needed discussion.
Which is why I was so happy to see it receive an 11th-hour reprieve from its closing date and extended through August 6th. To say you should take advantage of this extension if you're able is an understatement.
If you're a Broadway fan of any kind, you need to see "Indecent". If you're a student studying acting and want to see it in its finest form, you need to see "Indecent". If you're a young director looking for a mentor, Rebecca Taichman is it and you need to see "Indecent". If you're an aspiring playwright, you need to see "Indecent", because it features some of the very best writing I've ever heard on stage.
All in all, you need to see "Indecent".

Encouraging dialogue between muslim & ex-muslim family members
Shift The Script is a non-profit movement to encourage dialogue (and ultimately, dare we hope, reconciliation) between estranged muslim and ex-muslim family members. Within our own family and friend networks we see the evidence that a growing number of practicing muslims want to stay in connection with their ex-muslims friends and family, despite the incredible social pressures not to. Our hope is to demonstrate that the desire for connection is widespread, and to help families begin to take the first small steps toward reconnection and mutual understanding. Please help us. Write your own anonymous letter. Read the ones here, share them, and encourage others to write as well.
"You may no longer be a Muslim, but you are always my son."
Write your own anonymous letter. Read the ones here, share them, and encourage others to write as well.
I wish I could come out to you as an ex muslim. Announce it like it was my wedding and have you celebrate it like it was pride in a western world. But sadly, I cannot. Not yet. I have too many eyes on me and too many expectations holding me down as the good girl.
I so wish to not constantly think about my identity and how I could wear it without getting shunned for it. Thankfully, I live in a safer space where people may not kill me for my non religiosity but my parents, they're going to be so broken if they ever get to know.
But I can't help myself. I cant live a lie even if it means that it would keep the peace within family but I'm far too broken and hurt and I need to find my peace.
I wish I could scream my identity out and I will someday. But until then, I'll just keep whispering here and telling you, I'm an ex Muslim and I'm so glad I left my religion. You should celebrate with me.
I don't know if you'll ever see this letter. I know you said you never wanted to speak to me again. I hope that isn't true. I want you to know I miss you, I love you, and I'm ok. I don't know if you know I had some death threats when I left Islam, and for a year or so I genuinely lived in fear. I am at peace now, with myself and with the world. Every day I think about you. If you get a chance, I'd love to hear your voice sometime. Maybe next eid al-fitr?
All the love I know how to offer,
#dearmother #atheist
I live in fear of your discovering that I no longer believe what you taught me. I still perform all my duties, I offer the Fajr every morning faithfully, but only as a way to keep you from suspecting. I wish I had the courage to tell you the truth. And maybe one day I will. But what will you say then? Will you still love me? Or will you cast me out? I can't bear the thought of that. But I also can't bear the lie I am living. Whatever happens know that I love you. #inthecloset

Power rallies after wobble but trails by six in Mississippi
West Waterford's Seamus Power recovered from a mid-round wobble but now finds himself six shots behind pace-setter Ryan Armour with a round to play in the Sanderson Farms Championship in chilly Mississippi.
The 30-year old is tied for third on nine-under-par with Scott Strohmeyer (68), Beau Hossler (69), Ben Silverman (69) and Vaughn Taylor (71) after carding a one-under 71 at the Country Club of Jackson.
Armour came home in 31 for a joint-best-of-the-day 67 and a five-shot lead over Chesson Hadley on 15-under-par. But while Power is a shot further back, he can still exert some final round pressure.
The Waterford man's rookie season, which saw him forced to regain his card by claiming the last of 25 spots via the Web.com Tour Playoffs, was marked by some indifferent weekend play when in contention.
But while he hit just three of 14 fairways in Saturday's third round having completed the final two holes of his delayed second round in par figures for a 68, he will be pleased that he battled back well after following birdies at his first two holes with bogeys at the seventh, eighth and 10th.
His revival started at the par-five 11th, where he drove into the right rough but found the green from nearly 250 yards and avoided a three-putt par by knocking in a ten footer for his four.
Another birdie four at the 14th, where he missed the centre of the fairway by 30 yards before eventually making a 16 footer, got him into the red for the day.
He then made a seven-footer for another birdie at the driveable 15th to briefly share second spot before a pulled drive at the 17th led to a late bogey.
Armour made three birdies and three bogeys on the front nine but birdied the 10th and then made four birdies in a row from the 13th to extend his one-stroke halfway lead to five over Hadley, who shot a 68.
"It was cold," Armour said. "I mean, when we got here it was cold this morning. Once you got moving, as long as you can keep blowing on your hands, everything is all right.
"If you have to stand still and the wind hits you and the sun goes behind the clouds it can cut right through you."
As for his lead and his hot finish, Armour added: "Oh, I'm ecstatic. There was a tough stretch in the middle of the front nine there where in missed three 16 footers in a row.
"Hole locations were hard and tough to read. Kind of caught fire on the back nine there and made five birdies. I'm ecstatic."
Power shares third place with Scott Strohmeyer (68), Beau Hossler (69), Ben Silverman (69) and Vaughn Taylor (71).

Try Again! Common Keto Myths DEBUNKED!
Thinking about starting keto but have a few misgivings? Are your friends and family telling you that keto is not a healthy diet, or you can't maintain it for long? Let's address these keto myths once and for all.
I first learned about the ketogenic diet when I was studying nutrition at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and it immediately piqued my interest. At that time, I was freshly off of my first Whole 30, which you may be familiar with as basically an uber-strict paleo-esque diet restart, if you will. I was feeling pretty great at the time—mentally, I was sharp (very important in my day job as an editor), I hadn't had heartburn or acid reflux since who knows when, and my energy levels were great throughout the day, which had certainly not been the case throughout most of my post-puberty life.
However, I'd been discouraged at the end of my 30 days when the scale said I'd only dropped 3 lbs. Maybe that was unreasonable of me, but I had watched my mother and friend do the same Whole 30 and lose 12 and 14 lbs, respectively. And they were following my Whole 30 meal plans, no less! It was quite the bummer. Also, to be quite honest, I missed cheese. Oh, I missed it so so much. But anyway, I digress.
When I first heard about the ketogenic diet, I was intrigued, but I wasn't sold. Eating fat to lose fat? It just seemed too good to be true. I put it out of my head and carried on eating paleo, hoping my results would eventually manifest themselves like they seemed to do for everyone else.
Everything changed when I went to a health conference about two weeks later. During the two-day conference, I got to hear from two renowned and well-respected doctors, Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Mark Hyman, and coincidentally, both of their talks centered around the benefits of a ketogenic lifestyle on the brain and body. I walked out of that conference sold—I was going keto.
That was four years ago now, in April 2014, and I've never looked back! Since then, I've earned my health coach certification and decided to coach what I know: how to live a ketogenic lifestyle to achieve the health results you want. I've talked to hundreds (if not more) people about keto in the past few years, and I've run into my fair share of misconceptions about a keto diet. Below are the most common myths about keto, debunked with both my and my clients' personal experiences and published research.
1 // Keto is a fad diet.
If I had a dollar for every time I've heard this one. Although keto is picking up in popularity in recent years, it actually was formally established in the 1920s for treating epilepsy. During clinical tests, doctors noticed that not only was the high fat, low carb diet controlling the amount of seizures in epileptic children, the children were experiencing higher cognitive abilities and increased alertness and energy. The diet's effects on body composition (i.e., weight loss) were discovered later, and have since been helping men and women shed weight for decades. Acid wash jeans are a fad—keto is here to stay.
2 // You can't sustain exercise on keto.
Tell that to the many ketogenic athletes out there—the athletes who follow a keto diet participate in activities from basketball to bodybuilding to Ironman events. It's often said that you need carbs for energy to participate in sports or heavy lifting, but many people find that once their body learns how to use fat for fuel, they actually perform better than they did when they relied on carbs.
I'll add a personal note to this: in the four years since I've been keto, I've done two half century (50 mile) bike rides, one century (100 mile), and countless other 30+ mile bike rides, all without hitting a wall and refueling with carbs. In addition, I supplement my bike rides with high intensity interval training to build strength and power. No issues yet!
3 // Keto is difficult to maintain.
Even four years ago, this wasn't true. Keto is no more difficult to obtain than any other way of eating, it just requires knowing what foods are best for you and eating accordingly. What people mean when they say this is that they may actually have to cook foods sometimes instead of hitting a drive through for every meal, or that they can't grab snacks and go like they can with other ways of eating. However, today, even that is not true! Keto folks have it good now—as the diet increases in popularity, there are even more restaurants and food companies who cater to a high fat/low carb clientele, making keto easier than it's ever been.
4 // Your body can't survive without carbs.
*looks down at surviving body* So far, so good. This myth comes from the misconception that glucose (carbs) is the best source of energy for your body. However, once your body becomes fat-adapted, it actually works more efficiently.
5 // Keto will make chronic diseases worse, or cause them.
This just gets debunked left and right daily. The fact alone that keto is endorsed by so many doctors is enough to make you reconsider what keto can do for you. Anecdotally, as more people are turning to keto, there have been countless stories of people getting off of medications for high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. If you want to be bombarded with people telling how keto has helped to manage or eliminate chronic diseases, take a glance at the keto section of reddit.
6 // All people eat on keto is bacon.
I'm not quite sure where this myth came from. I guess, supposedly, people on keto eat a lot of bacon...but I think most people do, in America at least. I will say that bacon is a great source of fat while being lower in protein, which makes it a great keto option, but it's definitely not the entire diet. At the base of the keto diet is low starch, green vegetables, healthy fats, and then a little protein...bacon optional.
7 // You have to eat 5x a day to keep your metabolism up.
This is a pervasive fitness/diet myth period that I felt I should address here. The common theory is that you eat several times a day to fuel your metabolism, the logic being that it is always working, turning the carbs from the Standard American Diet (SAD) into energy for you. I'm about to blow your mind, kids: the opposite is true on keto. Because of the high fat nature of keto meals, once your body is fat-adapted, you stay satiated (full) for much longer. In addition, it doesn't need you to refuel it with energy that often because you have pretty much an endless supply of fat already in you that it can rely on. It's one of the reasons keto and fasting tend to go hand in hand—often, on keto, you're simply not that hungry.
8 // Keto is just another name for Atkins.
I hear often, "Oh yeah, I've tried keto before... I used to do Atkins." While Dr. Atkins was revolutionary for introducing a low carb diet at a time when the wheat industry was convincing the government to consider bread as the foundation of a healthy diet, Atkins is not quite keto. The Atkins diet focuses more on lowering carbs than raising the fats. A huge component of keto is the high fat aspect, as those good fats are what is going to really fuel your body.
9 // Keto is not sustainable.
Some people say that keto is good for quick weight loss, but that it's not capable of sustaining long term. Well first off, my four years on the keto diet determined that was a lie. But don't just take it from me...there are many people who have been following a ketogenic way of eating for as long as I have (or more!) with great results, most famously, Jimmy Moore of the Livin La Vida Low Carb podcast.
10 // There is only one way to eat a high fat diet.
Ah, my favorite myth to debunk—the best part of keto is that it's personalizable to you. The way I keto may not be the way you keto. As with any other way of eating, you should always play around with the variables to find the way keto works to help you achieve your goals. Some people tend to do better with a slightly higher carb ratio, some people can't eat dairy. Some ketoers intermittent fast, some only eat pescatarian. There is no one-size-fits-all keto diet, and there is no right or wrong way to keto. Try it and see what works for you :)


text: Share: Comments Print June 7, 2012 at 10:07 AM Injuries gave Michael Saunders, Kyle Seager their chance, and they've run with it Posted by Larry Stone (Photo by Associated Press) Here is today's Mariners minor league report, and yesterday's. Here is a poll from Seattletimes.com: Why are the Mariners hitting so much worse at Safeco Field than on the road? It seems like a vague memory now, but the biggest story when Mariners camp opened way back in mid-February was Franklin Gutierrez — his new, chiseled body, the fact he had conquered his stomach issues, and the line drives and long blasts that were echoing off his bat at the Peoria Sports Complex. Visions of a monster breakthrough season by Gutierrez danced in everyone's head. All that became moot, of course, on Feb. 28 when Gutierrez, after feeling a twinge during a throwing drill, left the field, hopped into a car with an assistant trainer, and drove away for medical tests. The diagnosis was a pectoral injury, and the hopes of Gutierrez making an early impact on the Mariners was torn asunder. His rehab was complicated by a plantar fasciitis problem, and now Gutierrez is in Tacoma on a rehab assignment, still trying to make his way back to Seattle, more than three months later. Michael Saunders, meanwhile, was not prominent in the Mariners' plans when camp opened. I don't think it's a stretch to think that if Gutierrez had stayed healthy, Saunders was ticketed for Tacoma, coming off a troubled year in which he introduced himself to Eric Wedge and the new coaching staff by hitting .149 in 58 games. That left Saunders' career average in 204 games at .196. Everyone recognized his raw talent and athleticism, but at some point, you run out of chances to show that you can actually transform that potential into reality. Gutierrez's injury gave Saunders one more chance, and to his credit, he's run with it. Sprinted, actually. First, he solidified his spot on the team by hitting .356 in spring training to clinch the center field job vacated by Gutierrez.. And now he is rapidly developing into one of the most productive players in the league at that position. Since his average dipped to .219 on May 12, Saunders has gone .344/.394/.511 (.905 OPS) over his last 24 games. Overall, he's at .277/.346/.462 (.807), with six homers (and 16 doubles) and 20 RBIs. Those numbers will play in this league (though Saunders, like most everyone else on the team, still has to show he can produce at Safeo Field). It's to the point now that if and when Gutierrez returns to the Mariners, Eric Wedge wouldn't even think of taking Saunders out of the lineup. He'll get creative to find ways to keep his bat (and glove) in there — an amazing turnaround for a guy slated for Triple-A. The Mariners' other big success story this year is Kyle Seager (above, after hitting a home run in the first inning aganist the Angels on Monday), another player who came to camp without a defined role. The Mariners had determined to give Chone Figgins one last chance to show that he was capable of playing every day, so third base was ticketed for him. Seager at best seemed destined to be an infield utility man and spot starter. Then, on Opening Day in Japan — a game in which Seager didn't play — left fielder Mike Carp injured his shoulder on a diving play, and landed on the disabled list. He was out for the entire month of April, requiring a chain reaction of moves that included Figgins taking over in left, and Seager getting the first crack at third base. Just like Saunders, he ran with it, to the point that Seager is now a legitimate candidate for the American League All-Star team, on pace for 47 doubles and 99 RBIs while trailing only Miguel Cabrera in RBIs among American League third baseman. All because Mike Carp got injured. It just goes to show you that in baseball, the best-laid plans of managers and men often go awry. And as a player, you'd better be prepared to seize the opportunity when it's presented to you, as Michael Saunders and Kyle Seager have done this year.

You Can Read Gmail in Yahoo Mail: Here's How
If you're anything like the staff here at Laptop, you have multiple email addresses spread across a number of services. While the official Gmail app doesn't let you add email accounts from other providers, Yahoo has just updated its iOS and Android apps to support a number of its competitors.
Image: Henry T. Casey
The update to the Yahoo Mail app was released yesterday (Dec. 10), and adds support for Gmail, Outlook and AOL email accounts. Users with multiple accounts may want to try the Yahoo Mail app, as it allows you to search across every message sent to all of your accounts, a feature Yahoo is promoting as an improvement from searching "just your most recent emails, which is how it's done in many apps today."
MORE: iOS Tips, Tricks and Secrets You Need to Know
The Yahoo Mail app has some benefits over the Gmail app, as you can manage messages by swiping left and right, which Google restricts to its Inbox.
This latest version of the email client also includes support for the iPad's Split View multitasking mode, in which you can slide the email app in from the right side of your tablet, and then drag it further into the screen to move back and forth between apps.
How to read Gmail in the Yahoo Mail app
1. Open the Yahoo Mail app (iOS and Android, free) and tap the Accounts icon.
2. Select Add another mailbox.
3. Tap Google.
4. Enter your email address and tap Next.
5. Enter your password and tap Next. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, enter the code you receive and hit Next.
6. Select Allow.
7. Tap the Accounts icon.
Your Gmail account has been added. It may take some time to fill up with messages.
