Forty Weeks of Fitness | With Chelsea
Are you ready to feel the power? Learn how to wrap your hands and glove up for an invigorating workout. Depending on your level of experience you may choose to take part in a cardio boxing class, work on the bags in a contact class, or work one-on-one with a boxing coach. All of them will use your shoulders, biceps and core muscles. Keeping your body in motion between punching combos will strengthen your most important muscle: your heart. Keep yourself and your growing baby safe by doing only what is comfortable and, of course, no sparring!
First things first: ask the instructor or your coach for the correct way to make a fist. Here's a hint, your thumb should be on the outside and tucked tightly next to your middle finger. A correctly formed fist will produce a flat target surface. Perform a form check by pressing your fist up against a wall or the floor. When all of your fingers and knuckles produce a solid surface you are good to go. Boxing is performed using a variety of punches and combinations that involve the following: the jab, cross, hook and upper cut. Adding some footwork will make for a one-two knockout workout. Take the time to learn appropriate form and then practice, practice, practice!
Baseline Rules
If You Were Inactive Before Pregnancy...
If boxing looks and sounds like fun to you, pregnancy is the perfect opportunity for you to learn and practice the movements. Begin your boxing education by working one-on-one with a boxing coach or by joining a cardio boxing class. Of course, save any actual contact for post delivery. A few sessions with a coach will enable you to properly wrap your hands, make a fist and punch. A class will teach you punches, combinations, and footwork. Just be sure to modify your movements to remain low impact (no jumping) and maintain a comfortable pace. After the birth of your baby you will be ready to roll at full speed.

Instead of the cut-up broiler-fryer, you also can make this recipe with 4 chicken breasts, skin removed.
It's easy to remove the skin from larger pieces of chicken. However, skinning chicken wings and legs can be a little tricky. So you can either take off as much skin as possible or just leave it on these pieces.
Before serving, sprinkle this dish with chopped fresh cilantro or chopped green onions.

If the Edmonton Oilers take the player deemed the best available by every recognized scouting outfit on the planet with the first pick at the NHL Entry Draft in Pittsburgh, they'll be walking to the podium with Nail Yakupov's name on a jersey, as they should. I know, this just in . . .
While there might be handful of dissenters among the people who actually assess talent for a living or a genius packing numbers that show the Oilers should pass on Yakupov because he scored an alarming number of his points in games where a suspiciously high percentage of the crowd was wearing long-sleeved shirts, that's the overwhelming consensus.
And it's a selection, not knowing or having seen the top-ranked prospects at the head of the 2012 draft class like Stu MacGregor and the Oilers scouting staff has, I can't take issue with. I might have more difficulty if the Oilers opt for Everett defenseman Ryan Murray, as rumblings out of Pittsburgh lead us to believe they might, but, again, MacGregor, Bob Brown, Kent Hawley and Edmonton's staff know Murray far better than I do, as well.
While I'm impressed with Yakupov's Sarnia teammate Alex Galchenyuk and think he better fits the organization's needs in terms of position, nothing trumps the need for a team that's missed the playoffs six straight years than taking the BPA. Here and now, Yakupov is that player. It doesn't hurt, in my estimation, he also has a swagger to him. This team could use some of that.
MacGregor didn't go out of his way to sing the praises of Yakupov in the discussions we've had, but I believe he sees the dynamic winger as the BPA as well, regardless of all the talk about this selection being a far closer call than it was with Taylor Hall in 2010 or Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in 2011.
Blowing smoke, I say. All hail Nail.
NHL Central Scouting: No. 1 among North American skaters
The Hockey News: No. 1
McKeen's Hockey: No. 1
Red Line Report: No. 1
TSN: No. 1
In 2011-12, he recorded 69 points (31-38-69) in 42 games for Sarnia, leading the team with 12 power-play goals and a plus-15 rating in an injury-shortened season.
In 2010-11, he led his team and Ontario Hockey League rookies in scoring with 101 points (49-52-101) in 65 games. It was the most points by a first-year player since Patrick Kane had 145 points in 2006-07. His scoring also surpassed Steven Stamkos' team records for goals (42) and points (92) by a Sarnia rookie. He was named the OHL Rookie of the Year and the Canadian Hockey League Rookie of the Year last season.
Yakupov represented Russia at the 2012 World Junior Championships. He tied for the tournament lead in assists with nine (0-9--9) helping Russia win silver -- he recorded four assists in the semifinal against Canada.
NHL Central Scouting's Chris Edwards
"His first step and ability to control bouncing pucks, knock them down and make a play are the best of any of the guys in the draft, in my opinion.
"He really gets up to top speed very quickly and his hands are outstanding. Like Pavel Bure, Yakupov is dangerous every shift. He may not have been dominant on every shift like Bure was, but he created something every shift … you have to be aware where he is on the ice all the time."
Scouting Report: "He's a skilled and dynamic offensive talent. He's got over-the-top confidence, there's no doubt. As long as you can back it up."
Projection: "It's pretty safe to say he's going to be a player who plays on your top two lines."
Weaknesses: "He needs to learn the defensive side of the game and, like a lot of these young players, he needs to find consistency."
NHL Comparable: "He's probably a little bit like Valeri Kharlamov, for those who go back that far. As far as NHL players, people have said they see some Pavel Bure there."

We may take a little comfort in seeing Yakupov so relaxed and confident a full day before the draft. He must already know, and the Oilers know, he's their guy.
All of Edmontons management group can't deal with the Krueger issue this week because they appeared so busy trying to botch this first round selection up. How many bodies would they require to get two things accomplished inside of one week?
Any word on who the remaining interview is with?
June 21 2012, 06:51PM
Nail is an Oiler no question.
You have to take the best player available, especially at #1 overall, and that's Nail. Let's see if it'll work with the big 4. If not you can always trade one of them for a defenseman next summer.

well the answer used to be 2 bodies - Tambi and Lowe - but now that Mac is back we have 3
Nice work Robin saved the best for last.
Nail is gonna look deadly in blue, white and orange.
From a business perspective, it would be surprising if the Oil pick anyone else. If Nail ends up the most dynamic player out of this draft, the Oil win. If Nail ends up busting, the Oil will be able to look at their fans and say, we took the best player available. Until this organization develops a winning record, I would be very surprised if the Oilers took many risks.
If the Oilers don't take Nail, it will be a complete FAIL!!!
Nail is by far the clear cut number one, you're gonna try and tell the fans that Murray or even Reinhart has been in play this whole time? A mini Ovechkin or Bure clone doesnt come along very often. I already have plans to grab a Yakupov jersey the minute he gets his Oiler number.
This guys got the steak and all the sizzle, him along with our super kids makes our team even more electrifying. He has already said he can play any position up front. I love all the aspects of his game, explosiveness physicality and swagger. We will all forget about this posturing and supposed drama leading up to the draft. Nail will be driving to the net and putting up huge numbers playing alongside an embarrassing amount of skill up front with the Oilers.
Jeez. Did NOT know about this "long-sleeved shirt" thing. DID NOT KNOW!
Sonofa b. THAT frickin' changes everything.
Thanks Robin. Thanks alot for throwing another ounce of doubt on the fire.
Welp. It's going to be a long night on Bodog.
I sincerely hope I'm toasting Nail as the newest Oiler tomorrow evening but my sister's best friend's cousin heard that the Oil are trading down and selecting Reinhart. That's pretty irrefutable evidence right there.
June 21 2012, 07:43PM
Oh man...umm...did he say Valeri Kharlamov? Holy crap! That is pretty high praise. I am now positive its Yakupov they are picking tomorrow. Regardless of Dreger etc saying other wise. I feel alot better reading this then I did a few hours ago.
You can not pick this guy. One thing I want to mention in relation to Murray is that I don't really seem him separating himself from the pack in terms of straight out d-man. Dumba, Rielly, Reinhart, Ceci etc. If he was a #1 true pick he would be like a Seth Jones. Not one scout said Murray was on that type of level and for me that tells me you can't pick for need if it was that close.
Do the right thing Oilers and pick Yakupov!!
Hey Robin,
I realize this is probably the end of the road for this series, but was there any word from MacGregor on Griffin Reinhart and where he would project him?
Stu seems to have understated his projections a little this year, compared to last. Is he holding the cards close to the vest or is the draft class this year really is perceived to be weaker than last year?
I have always been firm about taking Yakupov first overall but with some questions. Today after watching his interviews at the NHL draft I dont think it would be a good move to draft him.
Confidence is good but he oozes arrogance and that is concerning in my opinion. Maybe im wrong but im making a prediction. Reinhart and Murray will have a better NHL season. They show confidence but seem very genuine, humble, well spoken and confident.
I'd be curious to know how these three presented character wise in thier interviews with the Oilers.
Yakupov has NHL talent but he seems like that type of guy that is more about himself and if he lets this experience and success go to his head even more come contract time or in the dressing room he is going to be a problem. I see alot of Omark's arrogance in Yakupov and to me that gets in the way of loyalty to an organization. Once again i reiterated confidence is mandatory and a important trait.
I understand maybe the organization wont base thier decision on that with the public pressure on them to take talent.
My overall preception and prediction Rienhart and Murray will be successful steady defensive LONG term and bring character to a dressing room. Yakupov will show flashes of brilliance,inconsistency due to his character and will see a few diffrent dressing rooms.
Overanalyzing?? Only time will tell.
Its to bad you feel that way jason.But remember when the kids are lighting it up dont try the old"I told you he was the guy".
Any other edmontonians headed to Pittsburgh? We better pick yakupov!!!!!
Tonight Edmonton should be leaving the candles burning to show Yakapov the way home to us. If not him then Galchenyuk. I'm getting ready to catch a plane to New Brunswick in about an hour, but trust me, I'll be watching the draft tomorrow night. God, I hope Tambie gets it right again with the pick.

June 21 2012, 09:18PM
Those of us that have any questions as to whom to draft: I suggest reading the first 5 paragraphs of this article, then the bold headlne that says "How He Rates" and then look closely:
1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1.
I know who I'd take
You touched on swagger. I agree with you that he has it. I agree that the Oilers could use some.
But do you think they want it or value it?
The reason I say that is because I can't help but get the sense they don't, based on limited observations as to how they handled O'Mark.
I see O'Mark and Yakupov having similar swagger, and I believe it to have hurt O'Mark in the end.
Would you agree that the oilers may be wary/cautious/fearful of selecting a player with this type of somewhat brash personality?
June 21 2012, 09:43PM
I don't think the swagger equates to arrogance or anything of the like.
It's confidence in his abilities and himself. Nothing wrong with that AT all. It's actually refreshing to see a player who just takes it easy, and doesn't give all the canned answers most Canadian players come with - happy to be here, blah blah blah. The difference between Omark and Yakupov is that they're Omark and Yakupov - two different people with different skill sets. One is likely to be near elite, the other destined to play in the KHL, guess who is who?
It's nice to see, I have absolutely no problem with it.
June 21 2012, 09:46PM
The Oilers are so very, very fortunate to have the fan-base they have. Debatable as to whether they truly appreciate it; I'm pretty sure 29 other franchise owners/general managers/public relations guys know it.
As per usual,the club has created a commotion when none was really necessary. Reality is that unless they're blown away by some sort of last minute offer, Yak is their man. Period. He's the BPA, a consensus #1, what's to decide?
I'm quite certain that management is aware of the fact that pitchforks and torches await them should they not draft the Yak. I'm equally certain that they red carpet will be strewn with roses should they somehow manage to draft the Gal along with Yak. Or even the Grig; with either, the top 2 lines will be cemented for the next 10 years.
After this draft, add judiciously via trade, free agency and trade, let the young D potential develop, stir well, and in 2016 say hello to Stanley.
We of great faith have waited since 06. It would be a shame not to stay the course...
June 21 2012, 09:54PM
I had a daymare during my evening nap; Oilers didn't draft the Tatarian son Of Jacob, and he went on to win more championships than them during the careers of Hall, Hopkins and whoever the douche was that the Oilers did take.
June 21 2012, 10:05PM
We have an organizational need but it isn't defencemen. It's a stud that can score 40-50 every year.
And you can't have enough confidence injected into an organization that has now finished in the bottom two the last three years.
We need swagger.
YAK is our man. If Murray gets drafted, I'm going to be P.I.S.S.E.D.
June 21 2012, 10:13PM
If you saw the interview with McGuire today, you know exactly why he isn't getting an NHL GM or coaching job anytime soon.
Seriously dude, you're smarter than every scouting system known to man? Drafting an 18 year-old defenceman with the first overall is a smarter move and gives a team more value than a bonafide stud?
Ask Tampa Bay about Stamkos and Hedman. Who is more valuable to the on and off-ice product?
Hey Robin,
Any chance you think the Oilers are interested or have any deire to take Galenychuk rather than Yaks? Someone on twitter was saying hey believe that the Oilers are blowing smoke to throw people off the trail and are hot on his heels. But then again as i heard today that they never invited him to edmonton like the others, and he wasnt interviewed by the team in pittsburgh

McGuire thinking he is smarter than every scouting system known to man. Sounds like some of the posters here. lol
The oilers will not take Yakupov. Because they will not have the first pick. That will be acquired by Brian Burke. Along with the second pick from Columbus. And Rick Nash. For the fifth pick, Tyler Bozak, and the rights to Mats Sundin. Oh and some of the hot air that inflates Ol' Burkie's head. You know...cuz our winters are so cold?
Anyways, that's just the rumor circling the center of the universe right now. ;)
I just watched Highlights of some interviews on sportscenter and thought the exact same thing. Yakupov is a hoser and should not be drafted, character should definitely play a major factor Grigorenko #1
June 21 2012, 11:08PM
Definition of dressing-room cancer:
The impact of an arrogant yet unproven rookie when nothing goes his way enroute to a 10 goal season and another lotto finish for his team.
Definition of character:
Ryan Murray.
Come on Tambo, do the right thing.
When did he become Irish? Admittedly he is the same size as a leprechaun, but still.
I wonder if my swagger-meter needs to be re-calibrated. I found this kid to be very appreciative of what he has and he seemed to me to have humility to spare. Confident yes, cocky no.
June 21 2012, 11:49PM
Hooray for Pierre McGuire! His stressing we should pick a d-man means we absolutely won't! Even Tambi isn't so dense as to follow McGuire! Hooray!
Stu says he reminds him a little of Valeri Kharlamov? Wow. Forget Bure. As us old timers know, Kharlamov may have been the greatest ever Russian. In the 72' series, he was in a class by himself, an incredible burst of speed, magic hands, heart-stopping finesse and hungry to win. Totally unstoppable - until Bobby Clarke broke his stick over Kharlamov's ankle. No way we win the series otherwise. If Tamby says they will draft by need if the top two are equal he cannot pick Murray because Yak and Murray are not equal. The Oil liked Hall's hunger for the honour and responsibility of being the Number One pick. They should love Yak too. Good column Robin. You amde my day.
Ready, I will now construct the best team in the entire league.
1: Draft Yakapov
2: Trade Gagner, and our 2013 number one for Columbus number 2 pick, if you need, throw in one of our 11 defensive prospects.
3: Draft Gal with at number 2
4: Trade Magnus for Ryan Ellis
5: Sign Shultz
6: Promote Hartikinen
7: Sign Smyth to a one year deal with a bonus structure
8: Get free agent goal tender that has better stats than Habby (literally every free agent goal tender has better stats than Habby)
Your line up is now this: Hartikinen, Nuge, Ebs Hall, Gal, Yak Smyth, Horcoff, Hemsky Petrell, Belangier, Jones
Smid, Petry Shultz, Shultz Ellis, Whitney
Dubnyk, ?
Note: This team will not be good this year, we will not make the playoffs. But after that, It's nothing but cups. You have size on every line, Insane skill on the top two. The best vet line in the league, the best forth line in the league, a top PP, a solid PK, better goal tending than this year (anything other than habby is an upgrade) but a young defense that needs a year. After that year though. I would worry about the young age, But the Nuge Ebs line, so what if they're not two way (even though the numbers state they are) they get a bucket load of points. Hall, by himself right now backs off the defense, with size at center and Yak on the right, that could one day become the best line in Hockey. A vet hard minute shut down line at third, and a face off winning, body banging, high energy forth line. And all it took was a 1st round pick, a blue chip prospect, a proven second line center. If you think I'm being unrealistic and it would take more than listed to get the second round pick and Ellis out of Nashville, well we have more to give, I didn't mention Omark, Lander, a number of defensive prospects. Sutton
June 21 2012, 11:57PM
I'm sorry but to anyone who thinks the Oilers should draft Murray at #1, you need to stop huffing glue. Murray might not ever be a top 2 Dman. Good skater, decent defender, but very very limited offensive skill. If your taking a defenseman at #1, he better be the next Pronger.
I hope the Oil trade the #1 pick to Montreal along with Omark/MPS for their #3 and PK Subban. That way they can pick the best player in the entire draft (Galchenyuk) and get a top 2 Dman that fits the youth movement.
A lot of people are forgetting that Galchenyuk was hurt for nearly this entire year, and yet scouting still has him rated top 5. That tells you something.
RNH and Galchenyuk as our top two Centerman for the next decade sounds good to me. Look at any successful team and they have good players up the middle, complemented by wingers, not vice versa.
Wouldn't mind seeing them swap Gagner for Carolinas #8 as well and hopefully grab Matty Dumba or Grigorenko. However, none of this will happen, and we'll take a cocky Russian winger and have Horcoff centering the poor f*&ker for the next 2 years. Hello lottery.
June 22 2012, 12:06AM
wow talk about making bold statements,now he's a locker room cancer i have never heard that,why if someone has a little personality and not just the boring agent rehearsed answers do people start talking crap about a kid they have never meet!
There are alot of eastern media types playing down Yakupov as maybe someone whose stock has dropped. Based on what evidence? The hockey blogger whose 'name will not be spoken' now says Yakupov may have dropped to #3. Are there certain media types who are trying to talk the Oil out of selecting Yak #1 overall? StuMac was even sowing seeds of doubt earlier today.
Several people have suggested Murray reminds them of KLowe. That would not be a favourable recommendation in my view. Take BPA and be done with it. Trade for either another draft pick or for a D=man. Yandle would fit. My call on the draft and July 1 is another display of dithering from the chief ditherer. Someone needs to push him out of the way and get 'er done.
Wow didnt think I would need to do this again.. Some still think Galchenyuk is a better pick than Yakupov..
-as 16 year olds, they played together, played close to same amount of games, Yakupov outscored Galchenyuk by nearly 20 points..and had a better plus minus.
-as 17 year olds Galchenyuk played 8 games including playoffs, yakupovs ppg improved and his plus minus took a huge leap forward.
How can someone possibly see Galchenyuk as the bettet prospect at this time? Cuz hes a center? So is Brenden Gaunce..Roughly same size, decent junior numbers..
He may turn out to be the best, but we dont know.. Too many excuses for everyone but Yak. Too many couldve, wouldve, shouldves.. Like..
-Galchenyuk missed season due to injury but wouldve been just as good as yakupov -Grigorenko had mono, otherwise wouldve challenged for top spot no problem -Murray had an injury, thats why he didnt perform well at the world juniors.. And oh yeah, Yakupov, injured his knee at the world juniors..ended the season only scoring at a higher ppg pace than is previous season..before injury was well on pace for over 110 points..
Yakupov is the only one that SIUTBUC'ed of whatever u call it.
May not be the best player in the drafy 5 yrs from now, but probably will be..if not, hes got enough character and skill and speed to be a great oiler for many years..
June 22 2012, 04:23AM
I like Yakupov skill to knock pucks down, vision and puck control at high speed. On our aging Rexall ice pucks are bouncing all over the place.
Yak is definitely not as polished as Taylor Hall and I hope media leave him alone. Not sure how to read into his statement that he's ready to play in the NHL. That maybe so, but the way he says it worries me a little. What if he's not ready? Does he have a back-up plan? Hopefully, our scouts discussed it with him and its taken care of.
Happy Stu MacGregor Day everyone !!!
June 22 2012, 08:06AM
Big rumours from the likes of Tencer and suggestions from Mackenzie that Murray is the guy.
I really hope they pass on Murray. He is not what the team needs. If they are going d-man with the first pick then the best idea I have heard to land a top end d-prospect was on the 1260 morning show - trade the #1 to Boston for Dougie Hamilton.
On the flip side, I hope they are putting the rumor out that they are taking Murray as an attempt at leverage with Columbus........
June 22 2012, 09:45AM
@Reg Dunlop
....and Murray is going to lead us out of the callar? His 8-12 pedestrian minutes a night is hardy going to put a dent into the season. Ryan's not going to lean on anyone, he's not going to put up alot of points...he's a support player, nothing more.
We can only hope this is just some last moment posturing from Edmonton. Please let it be Galchenyuk or Yakupov, they are our only shot at an impact/elite player in this draft.
I don't think the Oilers are out of the woods in terms of assembling the talent level necessary to be a perennial Stanley Cup contender. Pittsburgh had four top 2 selections. They took Crosby, Malkin, Staal and Fleury. Each were can't miss prospects in their respective draft years. The Oilers should play it safe and take the can't miss guy in this draft year. Let Stu MacGregor maximize the value of the draft pick. It will be Tambi's job to find Dmen and power forwards to complement the talent, just as Pittsburgh added Letang, Goligoski and Neal via trade, Paul Martin via free agency, etc.
@Reg Dunlop
Are you saying we take jaybo 2.0 over the second coming of Bure. If Tambo bungs this up he will be called Milbury 2.0. I think even Tambo cant screw this up.
Draft Nail then trade Hemsky for NHL quality D. Even if they draft Murray he is at least a year from really helping the D and the oil will have another top 5 pick next year.
Will, I was going to make this suggestion, however next year's 1st + Gagner for Columbus's 2nd overall is an overpay. I would want a Dman back. I would throw in Peckham or Plante or Omark.
I would also look at trading Belanger to Mtl for Moen. I would try to sign Konopka this summer and add 2 NHL journeymen, with the hope that Justin Schultz chooses the Oil. I would look for Tootoo or Gaustad as other truculence options.
I would look at moving Eager to get a Dman, if unsatisfied with the UFA market. Sekera would be my #1 target.
I would hang on to Khabby as he could serve as a mentor to Yak and Gally, as long as he isn't "serving" them, lol. Then look at moving Khabby at the trade deadline if he has played as poorly as he has to date.
This all sounds familiar. Garth Snow, Tavares or Hedman, forward or D....
To me it seems like draft day is supposed to have a little bit of drama now, much of it the doing of TSN panelists. Yes they are the most informed, however, I guarantee their "insider information" tweets lead to higher TV audiences for the draft. No one could have believed the Oilers could take anyone but the Yakattack until Dreger posted one tweet.
Tavares or Hedman? Taylor or Tyler? RNH or Larsson? Nail or Murray?
Tonight at 7:10 pm Nail Yakapov will be an Edmonton Oiler.

I assume the October Rocky Mountain Energy Reporter was enclosed with the Progress in the Dec. 20, 2005 issue to bring information regarding the various ways energy resources are being removed, or are planned to be removed, from the area. And in particular it probably was to focus on Bill Barrett and his Earth Day award.
I am happy if there is anyone in that business who sincerely tries to do that work with care in some way for the Earth and its creatures. I would be much happier if there would be more effort and imagination and help in moving us all to less resource debilitating and polluting types of energy production. This is likely to require each of us to speak up in favor of using better resources and beginning to use them as soon as possible personally. This includes our getting politicians to do their part to encourage invention and use. There are some interesting possibilities already begun. Also, it means the various aspects of the energy industry being truly open to a lesser use of whatever product they have and that they not act to prevent such change.

Skip to comments.Obamas Jimmy Fallon Embarrassment
Posted on 04/25/2012 10:44:03 PM PDT by Brown Deer
President Obama's 'celebrity status' reached perplexing new levels last night on comedian Jimmy Fallon's comedy show last night. After watching this sketch, I think it's fair to say that he has 'jumped the shark.'
Last night on the Jimmy Fallon show, Obama "slow jammed" with Jimmy Fallon and his band about his plan to freeze interest rates for student loans, criticizing filibustering Republicans for blocking his plan.
Warning that the interest rates for student loans will 'double,' Obama warned that "some hard working students would be paying about $1000 extra just to get their education."
"There are some in Congress disagree," Obama said, backed up with jazzy music. "They say that keeping the interest rate low isn't a way to help our students, they say that we should be doing everything we can to pay down the national debt, well, so long as it doesn't includes taxing billionaires."
"But their position is that students just have to make that student rate increase work," Obama states. "Frankly, I don't buy it."
"The Barack-ness monster ain't buying it," Fallon croons.
(Excerpt) Read more at nation.foxnews.com ...
Obama is a self centered douche bag.
Did I mention he is a communist?
This guy is a serious turd in the punch bowl of society
I hate to say this but Baby Kim seems to be more mature and dignified than the celebrity occupier in the WH.
I worked as an intelligence analyst for both Presidents Carter and Reagan and helped guard then Vice President Bush while he campaigned for the presidency in Iowa. I can no more imagine one of those men doing something like this than I can see them wearing tu-tus and dancing Swan Lake or dressing as a clown for Ringling Brothers.
Geez......Can't remember the last time I saw something just so incredibly stupid.....................
What a joke O is, clowning around like hes some junior high goof, when we have such serious issues, to make light of them, when people are hurting. A bozo.
I'm thankful I don't have a working television. :)
That said, this media event is an embarrassment. There is no longer news but "infotainment" and BO is seen as an "infotainer" playing at being a United States president. BO is a TV show, and a bad one at that.
This smells like desperation.
We have our very own Nero, strumming his lyre while Rome burns down.
President Mau-Mau thinks WAAAY too much of himself.
Universities with multiBILLION dollar endowments need to stop gouging US taxpayers in subsidizing fraudulent loans that will not be repaid for overpriced indoctrination camps.
Our first Douchebag president.
Someone who can appeal to a visible segment of the college crowd.
DOUCHEBAG competition.
And we wonder why modern "music" sucks. The arbiters of "Good" have sh!tty tastes.
We would be naive to think that stupid, sophomoric, antics won't actually boost his support within the idiot bloc.
Who's Jimmy Fallon?
The Cheezburger site has this clip under their "Win!" section, which tells you about who that site supports.
(Yeah, I visit that site for the cute lolcat pictures, but I don't like the site's political slant.)
Thats One Good Way To Fallon Your Face
Its funny hearing Obama trash Billionaires, he sure has no problem hanging with them and collecting money from them for his re-election campaign
You forget Obama is playing to his immature stupid base.
This will play well with the fleas and maggots that will vote for Zer0.
Jumped the shark? More like Obama went full retard. Everyone knows you never go full retard.
All you gotta' do is tell them don't forget to vote on Wednesday and problem solved.
His best work is some Capital One commercials with a baby who throws cereal at him.
Whaaaa? When did this happen? When did this HAPPEN??! No way.
Sheesh! Next you'll be telling me he's an ineligible usurper or something.
Let's hope his political show is canceled after only one horrific
term season.
"This smells like desperation."
The Kenyan Pirate has probably received some very disturbing news (that will never be shared with us little people) that he has lost the "youth vote" in a big way. Even if he washes out student debt (which only impacts some young people), he can't obscure the fact from them any longer that not only won't they have the lifestyle their parents had, they won't have anything that remotely resembles it.
His minstrel show indicates how bad it is, and how poorly the media can influence the electorate at this point.
;)Thanks for for protecting our VP on the trail. Dukakis could have been Pres if not for the protection he received through the campaign.
(just think, I actually voted for that liberal idiot when I turned 19 that year. How far I have come politically.)
Only an observation....but we are approaching the point where a comedian like Junior Samples from Hee Haw...could probably take enough votes and win the presidency.
He's an entertainer.
The purpose of an entertainer is to provide us with entertainment. To amuse us and to temporarily divert us from reality by way of providing us with a "performance" of some type, be it singing, dancing, acting or just generally making us laugh by being goofy.
Back days of old, kings and other monarchs would keep some entertainers on hand in their court for both their own amusement and for that of their subjects. So while something serious was going on that day, like a be-heading or a torture (quite common back then), these entertainers would relieve the tension by capering and prancing around with their silly antics. They called them court jesters.
Why does anyone think he's embarrassed by this? He surely thinks he's scored big with this.
Obama is a self centered douche bag.
Did I mention he is a communist?
You mean the POTUS with the mostus?
What a joke O is, clowning around like hes some junior high goof, when we have such serious issues, to make light of them, when people are hurting. A bozo.
Progressives are saying how incredibly cool obama looked.
...so long as it doesn't includes taxing billionaires."
Is this what Obama said or do they have toddlers writing articles for Fox News now?
This is so bad even "I" had to GN it up!
Two no talent hacks who have never worked for a living, stickin' up for professional students. Thanks Brown Deer.
The audience and commentators loved it. It think it played well to the people who like that kind of stuff.
"I can no more imagine one of those men doing something like this than I can see them wearing tu-tus and dancing Swan Lake or dressing as a clown for Ringling Brothers."
Ah, but they were men-—not subhuman , race, baiting haters.
I just heard a great line. The Obama administration needs to understand the difference between douche bags and handbags. With douche bags, unlike hand bags, no one needs a collection.
The message was directed to those who watch the show.
The question remains to be seen that the targeted audience gets the message. That minority of a minority is what really matters.
The fact it was disgusting to those already not voting for him matters not a whit
Romney needs to avoid all of these late-night comedy appearances.
Then create ads constasting Boy Obama The Jerk, with Mr. Serious Businessman.
Here's another one:
"...reached perplexing new levels last night on comedian Jimmy Fallon's comedy show last night
...and listening to the stupid college-age youth screaming, squealing and applauding the class clown turns my stomach as well. Notice that the bastard will only talk to groups that want "free" money and have no concept of where that wealth comes from.
Link removed by mysterious forces.
"...or dressing as a clown for Ringling Brothers."
I think that is scheduled for next Friday?
He included Carter in his resume. Obama is worse than Carter, in this regard. Carter, while a horrible President, may be even a worse ex-President.

Quebec Sovereignty
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Robert Bertrand Pontiac—Gatineau—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, a new propaganda tool has recently been added to the list of separatist gadgets. Last Thursday, the PQ government in Quebec activated a new toll-free line to answer questions from the public on the future of an independent Quebec.
Listening to the answers provided to any question dealing with a sovereign Quebec, the caller soon starts to wonder if he or she did not make a mistake and dial the number for Cheerful Anonymous instead.
This latest gimmick, which will cost Quebec taxpayers the modest sum of $200,000 for a single month of use, gives a historic advantage to the PQ and the Bloc Quebecois.
This way, they can claim that every "Yes, hello" is another vote in support of their plans for separation.
Time Allocation
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jim Silye Calgary Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, in opposition the Liberals howled at Brian Mulroney with righteous indignation over his government's use of time allocation to ram through legislation. With such sincere compassion for democracy, one would expect this Liberal government's record in the use of time allocation to be squeaky clean compared to Mulroney. Let us compare.
Mulroney used time allocation 35 times to pass 200 bills. That is 17 per cent of his bills. Shame on him. Counting today's time allocation motion, the little guy from Shawinigan has used time allocation an unprecedented 11 times in only 59 bills. That is 19 per cent of his bills passed using time allocation, 2 per cent more than Mulroney.
Congratulations, Liberals. A parliamentary record. Does this mean that this Prime Minister is less democratic and even more arrogant than Brian Mulroney? Is that possible?
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Suzanne Tremblay Rimouski—Témiscouata, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday afternoon, as nearly 20,000 Quebecers applauded, the march against poverty ended in a rally in front of the Quebec National Assembly building. Many things were achieved through this march. Not only did the Quebec government respond to most of the women's demands, but the march stirred solidarity and social involvement.
These women from all regions of Quebec won over their fellow Quebecers and put to shame those who had predicted a resounding flop. Women's poverty impoverishes the whole community; it must be fought with all available means.
That is the message conveyed by these women to the Quebec government and the challenge the Bloc Quebecois is putting out to the federal government, which for the past 18 months has been washing its hands of social matters and attacking the most vulnerable in our society.
Ontario Election
Statements By Members
June 5th, 1995 / 2:10 p.m.
John English Kitchener, ON
Mr. Speaker, George Orwell once said that most revolutionaries are potential Tories because they imagine that everything can be put to rights by altering the shape of society.
It seems that Mike Harris and his Tories are making every effort to alter our health care system with the doublespeak of their so-called common sense revolution. Tory economic policies will never work without dire consequences to the province's health care system. The common sense revolution is really the nonsense revolution.
The Ontario Tories are promising something they cannot deliver. If they are prepared to impose a $400 million health care tax hike to cover just one of their tax promises, imagine what will remain of our health care system when the revolution is complete.
This government and the Ontario Liberal Party are committed to preserving an accessible, universal, and affordable health care system, one that does not require tax grabs or taking us into uncharted waters. We do not want and will never accept a Canada and an Ontario where there is one health care system for the rich and one for the poor.
Mike Harris' revolution is-

Ontario Election
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jane Stewart Brant, ON
Mr. Speaker, in the final days of the Ontario campaign voters are starting to ask very tough questions of the simple answers that are being proffered by the Conservatives.
The Conservatives say work for welfare. Ontarians are asking: "How will this work? What about single mothers? What about their children?" The simple Mike Harris answer: "Send them to the foster homes".
The Conservatives have said that they can cut taxes by 30 per cent, balance the budget, and indeed not touch health care. Ontarians ask: "How can this possibly be?" Mike Harris says: "With our new individual health care tax, of course".
The Conservatives say their plan is common sense for all, but Ontarians ask: "Who will benefit most from these tax cuts?" The simple Mike Harris answer: "Those making over $250,000".
I am glad to see that the people of Ontario are finally asking these tough questions. On June 8 the decision we make will determine our future as a province, and now is no time to give up on our Ontarian values of equity, fairness, and compassion.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Randy White Fraser Valley West, BC
Mr. Speaker, the results are in from the inquest into the death of Patricia Williams, the young lady who was murdered at Kent Institution by a killer who had her there on a conjugal visit.
Among the 14 recommendations were that private family visits should not be a right but an earned privilege, and offenders in maximum security institutions who have committed acts of murder due to sexually related crimes shall not be eligible for private family visits.
Perhaps the Liberals could tell us dumbfounded Canadians why in the same prison Terry Burlingham, a killer of two young women who were found murdered, raped and shot twice in the head, is privileged to have a pen pal girlfriend from another country on conjugal visits.
This is the poorest excuse for a government I have seen in decades. When will we start considering the safety of law-abiding citizens ahead of the rights of convicted criminals?
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Lucien Bouchard Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, yesterday in Quebec City, nearly 20,000 people were there to welcome working women who took part in the bread and roses march. These women marched to demonstrate against poverty. For the past few weeks I was visiting various regions in Quebec, and I must say that wherever you go now, poverty is very much a fact of life. According to the official statistics, more than 800,000 Quebecers live on welfare.
My question is directed to the Prime Minister. After seeing thousands of people who joined yesterday in a demonstration against poverty in Quebec, and now that 23 per cent of the labour force in Quebec is out of work, would the Prime Minister agree that his government's job creation policy has been an abysmal failure and is a clear example of inaction?
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, when the Canadian economy creates 430,000 jobs over a period of 17 months, one can hardly call this a monumental failure. We brought unemployment down from 11.5 per cent to 9.4 per cent. That does not mean we are satisfied. We have to keep trying to create more and more jobs. I think the budget we brought down in February showed that we intend to put public finances on a sound footing and make it very attractive to invest in Canada.
That is also why the Minister of Human Resources Development is preparing an income security reform proposals, so that we can combine our job creation programs and the way we operate our social services so the poor in Quebec and elsewhere will again have the dignity of a job, as soon as possible.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Lucien Bouchard Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, these artificial figures cannot hide the fact that for the past five months there has been no net job creation in Canada. And that is the truth.
Oral Question Period

Some hon. members
Hear, hear.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Lucien Bouchard Lac-Saint-Jean, QC
I may remind the Prime Minister that the worst city in Canada in terms of poverty and dependence on government funds is Shawinigan, in his riding, and the fourth is Grand-Mère, in his riding as well.
Jobs are becoming harder and harder to find, and because of repeated cuts in unemployment insurance, fewer than 50 per cent of the unemployed today are entitled to unemployment insurance benefits, compared with nearly 80 per cent five years ago.
That being the case, could the leader of the government tell us whether his government intends to suspend the new cuts in unemployment insurance, especially those announced by his Minister of Finance in the last budget?
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, as I just said, the Minister of Human Resources Development is working on draft proposals to ensure that resources earmarked for unemployment insurance and welfare payments can be used to create jobs or subsidize certain jobs that could not be created without government intervention.
That is precisely the focus of the government's activities at this time. We will bring legislation before Parliament this fall, and we hope the opposition will help us pass it as soon as possible.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Lucien Bouchard Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, if it is progressive legislation to take care of the needy in our society, we will support it, but if it is more of the same, we will vote against it, even if we are alone in our defence of the needy in this Parliament.
Oral Question Period

MTV, CMT and VH1 hosted a South By Southwest festival showcase and has made many of the live performances watchable online.
AUSTIN — If you weren't one of the 300 or so who saw My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James' early Wednesday morning performance at South By Southwest, MTV has you covered.
For their Live in Austin event Tuesday night at The Control Room, MTV and sister Viacom networks CMT and VH1 took festival programming to a new level. For starters, the lineup crossed genres with countrified artists such as Ashley Monroe, rockers Guards and singer/songwriter ZZ Ward, along with James.
Instead of simply throwing a one-off performance party, the networks brought a 26-foot production truck and had five cameras shoot each set. Inside the truck, digital media gurus sliced and diced video feeds, immediately sending files small and large to the networks' digital archive.
The result: You can go to MTV.com and see individual performances of songs from James' mesmerizing and hypnotic set, which ended at about 2 a.m. Opening the show, the duo Striking Matches played When the Right One Comes Along, which made it onto ABC's Nashville series.
After that set, Striking Matches' Sarah Zimmermann supported Monroe, who gained exposure as a member of the group Pistol Annies with Miranda Lambert. Monroe, whose own album came out last week, channeled Janis Joplin's version of Me and Bobby McGee at the end of title track Like A Rose.
A video of that live performance and selections from all the other acts at the event are on MTV.com.
The video offerings from SXSW offer a glimpse of the networks' initiative to develop and nurture an online artists hub, said Kristin Frank, general manager of digital media for MTV and VH1. "We've made a really concerted effort to bring music not only in television format but in the digital format to our fans," she said. (We) make it about the artists and their ability to interact with the fans and really make that platform where the two of them come together."
Want more SXSW? MTV and mtvU will air an the 2013 mtvU Woodie Awards special Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/PT with performances by Tegan and Sara and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis from Thursday's event in Austin.

"I like this shoe although they do run a bit long and wide. I agree with the other reviewers that this shoe does fit a little weird. But my solution to this was to take them to a shoe repair shop and have the straps recut and refitted to my feet. They look good with a long maxi skirt and skinny leg trousers!"

Runs big
"I absolutely love these shoes. They are funky and fabulous but they run big. I usually wear an 8 but went down to a 7.5 and they are still too big. I wanted to exchange them but they didnt have the color that I wanted in my size. The heel is pretty high but not uncomfortable to walk in. If you like the colors I would recommend you getting these. They are wide feet friendly."

WASHINGTON -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday that after the congressional recess, he will bring to the Senate floor a gun-violence bill that will include measures to expand background checks for gun purchases, strengthen trafficking laws and improve school safety.
Reid acknowledged that the background-check language he is including in the bill could change in the final product.
The current background-check language, authored by Sen. Charles Schumer, is serving as a place holder while the New York Democrat – along with Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Mark Kirk, R-Ill. – continue to negotiate a compromise with Republicans.
Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma had initially been part of the negotiations, but he dropped out after the group could not come to an agreement over a requirement for private gun sellers to keep a record of their sales – a provision opposed by the National Rifle Association.
Reid said in a statement he is "hopeful" that negotiations will be successful over the two-week break.
"If a compromise is reached, I am open to including it in the base bill," Reid said. "But I want to be clear: in order to be effective, any bill that passes the Senate must include background checks."
The other two provisions in the gun-violence bill – increasing the penalty for trafficking firearms and expanding grants for school safety – are largely non-controversial and were approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee with bipartisan support.
Reid added that once debate on the bill begins, he will "ensure" that votes occur on a ban on assault weapons, high-capacity magazines and mental health provisions.
"In his State of the Union address, President Obama called for all of these provisions to receive votes, and I will ensure that they do," he said.
Reid created an uproar among supporters of stricter gun regulations Tuesday when he told reporters the assault weapons ban simply did not have enough support to be part of his broader gun bill.

A late try from Ben Smith helped New Zealand to a 33-15 bonus-point win over Argentina at Estadio Ciudad de La Plata on Saturday.
A late try from right wing Ben Smith helped New Zealand to a 33-15 bonus-point win over Argentina on Saturday.
That critical fourth try puts the All Blacks five points clear of the Springboks ahead of the two team's meeting at Ellis Park in Johannesburg next week.
South Africa know they must beat New Zealand with four tries or more whilst also denying their hosts a losing bonus-point. It is a tough ask.
It had looked like being an extremely tough night for the All Blacks though when the Pumas enjoyed the better of the opening sparring. New Zealand were struggling to get their hands on the ball.
Marcelo Bosch had an opportunity to draw first blood when his 55-metre penalty attempt sailed well wide. However, Argentina weren't to be denied in the eighth minute as Nicolas Sanchez sent over three points following Andrew Hore's high tackle. It was a lead they richly deserved.
New Zealand responded five minutes later as Argentina failed to release the tackler so up stepped Aaron Cruden – in ahead of the Beauden Barrett and the injured Dan Carter – before the lead was Argentina's again in the sixteenth minute. Fly-half Sanchez was looking in good shape from the kicking tee at close range.
With a quarter of the game gone came another plus point for the Pumas – and in fact the watching Springboks – as Juan Figallo dominated Tony Woodcock at scrum time. In fact Marco Ayerza would do the same to Owen Franks later in the half – after Sanchez's first miss.
But as is New Zealand's wont, they struck when given a sniff. It was Julian Savea who profited as he snaffled up the loose ball before racing in for the game's first try. Unfortunately for the visitors, Cruden was off-target. Unfortunately for rugby, the fan with a laser was not.
Cruden did extend the advantage to five points just before the half-hour when the Pumas joined a ruck incorrectly, but then came Leicester prop Ayerza's moment at the set-piece. Net result being that Sanchez had brought his side back to a 9-11 deficit at the break.
An indication of the Pumas' scrum dominance could have been signalled by Franks being replaced at half-time by Charlie Faumuina. But worryingly for New Zealand was the sight of the replacement prop being pinged at his first set-piece. Bosch was successful this time.
11-12 didn't last long though as Cruden landed three points of his own before the All Blacks found top gear. Their second try arrived following solid tight work from the pack before the ball was shipped wide by Cruden and Ma'a Nonu to the waiting Sam Cane on the left wing.
Two became three in a short space of time as New Zealand had turned the screw at Estadio Ciudad de La Plata. Their next score en route to the bonus-point saw Nonu again act as the provider, sending off a lovely pop pass to wing Smith off the shoulder in midfield. The winger raced over from 35 metres making for a simple conversion for Cruden.
New Zealand were now in full control of the Rugby Championship game as the Pumas' fitness combined with the superior mental strength of the All Blacks came to the fore.
And just when it looked like the fourth try was not coming, up stepped wing Smith as he barged over the would be tackler en route to the uprights for the vital bonus point.
Man of the match: Constantly looking for work while being smart when in possession, Ben Smith takes this ahead of namesake Conrad due to his two scores. Meanwhile Ma'a Nonu impressed at inside centre, as did the Pumas props Juan Figallo and Marcos Ayerza.
Moment of the match: It has to be Ma'a Nonu's double pump pass for Ben Smith's first try. The pass was a beaut and came after Nonu had driven back an Argentine in an earlier phase. He really is a different player from Super Rugby when he pulls on that Black jersey.
Villain of the match: The fan(s) with a laser pen.

Political Science
"The study of political science/law is basically the path of least resistance for me. It is a subject that has always interested me, and one that I have proved to be naturally insightful in. Studying political science isn't just the study of how governments function or how it is composed, but the study of why it exists and to what ends. In short, it is the study of what makes everything else possible."

The annual spring fish counts are underway at waters throughout the county. Huntington North Reservoir was surveyed on May 9 and Joe's Valley Reservoir will be sampled on May 16.
Biologist Mike Bolinski with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources was involved with the Huntington gill net survey. Other technicians involved this day included Mike Ault, Meg Goodstein, Nate Owens and Casey Olsen.
Gill nets were set the previous evening and checked the following morning.
Bolinski said, "Everything is going well, we are really happy we found wipers this year."
Other species included Utah chubs, crawdads, large mouth bass, green sunfish, brown trout and rainbow trout. The wipers were planted in the reservoir approximately three years ago and this is the first time they have found them in the gill net surveys which is encouraging news that the species is surviving in the water. The wipers averaged 13 inches and weighed a little over 1 pound. All of the fish were weighed, measured and recorded. Wipers are a sterile hybrid cross between white bass and striped bass. Wipers are a hard fighting, good eating open water predator.

United States Department of Agriculture
From Conservapedia
(Redirected from Department of Agriculture)
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership on food, agriculture, natural resources, and related issues based on sound public policy, the best available science, and efficient management.[1]
Despite its mission statement, for fiscal year 2008, 59% of its budget is for food assistance programs, and 19% of its budget is for farm and commodity programs. Less than 6% of its budget is spent on research.
The current Secretary of Agriculture is former Governor, Tom Vilsack.

Benefit for Your Body: This ancient South American "pseudo-grain" (called that because it's technically a seed) is packed with more protein than any other grain, and on top of that, it's a complete protein that contains all nine essential amino acids, acids your body can't produce on its own to build muscle and create more protein.
Planetary Perk: Supporting organic quinoa farmers could save the Andes. Growing international demand for this supergrain is leading farmers to abandon traditional methods of quinoa production and turn to larger farms that will increase the need for pesticides and mechanized farming, according to a recent study by Bolivian agricultural researchers. Traditional quinoa farmers rotate crops to restore the soil and use llamas to restore and fertilize the land, says Kerstin Lindgren, campaign director of the Fair World Project at the Organic Consumers Association. Fair-trade producers pay farmers better prices for their crops, allowing them to stick with these traditional methods, she says. "Quinoa is a great, very nutritious food," she says. "We need to be paying fair prices that allow farmers to take care of the land."
Benefit for Your Body: Hemp is another plant that, like quinoa, supplies the body with all nine essential amino acids. The fatty acids in hemp seeds and hemp milk also boost the immune system.
Planetary Perk: Hemp is a highly sustainable crop that is inherently "organic." It doesn't seem to be very attractive to pests and it's commonly grown without pesticides, even on big industrial farms. Growing more hemp could wean people off of wood pulp, since the fibers could easily take its place in paper and composite wood furniture.

Shade-Grown Chocolate
Benefit for Your Body: It lowers your blood pressure, and it's full of flavonols, antioxidants that fight the inflammation that can trigger heart problems. Neurological studies also suggest that these same flavonols may ward off depression and age-related declines in brain function. Need more reasons to eat chocolate? One chocolate-loving researcher reports that countries with higher cocoa consumption also had a higher number of Nobel Prize winners.
Planetary Perk: Cacao trees are native to rain forests, where they grow wild under shade canopies that provide homes for migratory songbirds and other diverse wildlife. But increasingly, rain forests are being clear-cut and replaced with huge industrial cacao plantations that don't cater to birds. As a result, the number of pests increases—along with the use of toxic, synthetic pesticides. Those pesticides endanger tiny little rainforest pollinators called midges, without which the world's chocolate supply wouldn't exist, according to the National Wildlife Federation. Opt for shade-grown chocolate to save the midges and possibly your next chocolate bar.
Try This Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Benefit for Your Body: Bite for bite, lentils are the best source of vegetarian protein you can find, boasting more of the muscle-building nutrient than 3 ounces of salmon. Plus, they'll satisfy more than 60 percent of your daily fiber requirement.
Planetary Perk: Ditch a beef burger just one day a week in favor of a filling veggie dinner where lentils are the stars, and it's like taking your car off the road for 320 miles, according to the nonprofit Environmental Working Group. Lentils are the most planet-friendly source of protein, the group says, because they pack so much nutrition into a tiny package that doesn't require nearly the amount of land, water, and other precious natural resources that are pumped into concentrated animal farms.
Yum: Italian Lentil and Broccoli Stew
Benefit for Your Body: Honey is often touted as a cure-all for everything from burns (put raw honey on a burn as soon as possible to speed healing) to cuts and scrapes (honey's natural antiseptic properties allow it to work a bit like hydrogen peroxide). And research by food scientists at the University of Illinois found that honey, especially dark honey, slowed the action of LDL "bad" cholesterol in test-tube studies. Buckwheat honey seemed to have the biggest effect.
Planetary Perk: Want to be a devoted locavore? Make honey your sole sweetener. Every region in the United States can support its own local honey industry, which means you aren't spewing greenhouse gases or burning fossil fuels to truck sugar, agave, and other popular sweeteners to your doorstep from the tropical climates in which they grow.

Wild Boar
Benefit for Your Body: Wild boar is chock-full of vitamin B, which can help ward off depression and just, in general, keep you in a good mood. A 3-ounce serving provides more than 70 percent of the recommended amounts of niacin, a B vitamin that lowers bad cholesterol and boosts the good, and thiamine and B6, two vitamins that boost your energy levels. It's also rich in zinc, which fortifies your immune system.
Planetary Perk: They may have "wild" in their name, but they're definitely not endangered. These stealthy Eurasian natives are invasive to the United States, and they number in the millions. The menacing hogs crash through forests, scarfing up acorns that could have one day become mighty oak trees and ripping out precious forest-floor flora, including endangered native plants that keep the ecosystem healthy and able to support life. They're no friends to farms, either. One report found they are responsible for up to 40 percent of sugarcane destruction on Southern farms.

Shade-grown Coffee
Benefit for Your Body: Antioxidant-loaded coffee is rich in cell-protecting choline and potassium, and chemicals contained in the beans have been shown to affect your metabolism in a way that wards off diabetes. Choosing shade-grown offers even more protection. Shade-grown coffee helps preserve the rain-forest canopy, which pulls carbon from the air and stores it in the soil so it never reaches the atmosphere, where it would contribute to the greenhouse effect. Dealing with climate change will help tone down allergies, Lyme disease, and West Nile virus, ailments all worsening as the climate heats up.
Planetary Perk: Look for the gold standard—Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center's Bird-Friendly seal. This means farmers grew coffee organically in 100-percent shade-grown conditions, not just mitigating climate change, but also saving precious wintering grounds for some of your favorite migratory birds.

Benefit for Your Body: Also called "clarified" or "drawn" butter, ghee is the result of melting butter over a low temperature to boil away excess water and remove milk fats. Ghee made from the milk of pasture-raised cows contains concentrated levels of cancer-fighting and heart-protecting conjugated linoleic acids.
Planetary Perk: Manure management from cows raised on organic, pasture-based systems reduces manure methane emissions by 60 to 80 percent. Methane is more than 20 times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
Learn More: Best Alternative Cooking Oils
Benefit for Your Body: Flax seed is loaded with fiber and cancer-fighting magnesium, and adding just 2 tablespoons of ground seed to things like oatmeal, salads, or smoothies also provides a fast and easy dose of brain-boosting vitamin B1. The 8th century European ruler Charlemagne thought the health benefits of flax so great, he passed laws requiring his subjects to eat it!
Planetary Perk: Used for both food and fiber, flax crops don't require irrigation or heavy chemical pesticide and fertilizer use.

Organic Kefir
Benefit for Your Body: Kefir is like drinkable yogurt, absolutely teeming with protiotics that help safeguard your immune system, knock out colds, and keep your digestive tract healthy and ready to remove toxic chemicals from your body. Just be sure it's low in sugar to reap the ultimate belly benefits. When your kefir comes from grass-fed cows, the milk used to make the drink contains significantly higher levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and could even lower your heart-attack risk.
Planetary Perk: When you choose organic kefir, you're supporting a way of farming that allows cows to live longer and reduces the feed required and the wastes generated, according to a recent dairy study by the Organic Center. Buying dairy from organic, pasture-raised small farmers also keeps toxic pesticides out of local waterways and the food supply.

Snakehead fish
Benefit for Your Body: Snakehead fish, a delicious invasive species native to China, Russia, and Korea, can more safely satisfy your craving for swordfish, a seafood pick high in brain-damaging mercury.
Planetary Perk: This fish features a primitive lung, allowing it to survive on land, wiping out frog, bird, and crustacean populations along the Potomac River and the freshwater canals of southern Florida. Since snakehead fish aren't naturally supposed to be in the United States, many critters living here have no natural defenses to evade the foreign fish.

Ship Weight:0.15 Servings:154 Dosage:7 Dot(s) Similasan Anxiety Relief Globules - 0.52 oz. /15g Similasan's Anxiety Relief Globules soothe and calm the symptoms of anxiety. The homeopathic globules help you through anxiety-inducing situations or events. The feelings of apprehension, nervousness, restless sleeplessness, and heart palpitations that can accompany anxiety are very real and can affect you so that you are not performing at your best. Each of the homeopathic ingredients was specifically chosen to address these symptoms so you can put your energy into the situation at hand instead of into your worries. Gluten & Dairy Free Soothes & Calms Sugar Free Relieves symptoms of apprehension, restlessness, and simple nervous tension associated with anxiety: Anxiety before examinations Nervous diarrhea, abdominal pain Lack of concentration, absentmindedness Restless sleeplessness Sense of stress, palpitations, tremors How do I know if I'm experiencing anxiety or stress?Everyone reacts to life differently and what may be stress or anxiety-inducing for some people may have no effect on others. Similasan's Anxiety Relief globules can help you to get through those situations that are causing you mental and physical discomfort. But how do you know what it is, exactly, that you are feeling? Often, a person may feel anxiety before a one-time event such as a public speaking engagement, or fear of flying, for example. It would be most appropriate to use Anxiety Relief globules for these situations. Similasan's Stress & Tension Relief globules are best for people who have ongoing stress in their lives. An example would be a working mother who deals with the day-to-day stress of balancing family life and a demanding profession. Although the ingredients for each product were specifically chosen to relieve the symptoms of either anxiety or stress and tension, it is perfectly safe to try one or the other to see which one works best for you. About Homeopathy How Similasan Products WorkSimilasan products stimulate the body to heal itself by utilizing "microdilutions" of the 100% Natural Active Ingredients. This system of medicine is known as homeopathy. In the production of Similasan homeopathic medicines, their 100% Natural Active Ingredients (originating from mineral, plants or animals) undergo a process of serial dilution. This complex terminology simply means that Similasan creates a very weak dilution, or a microdilution of the ingredient. Technically, a solution's concentration is represented by an "X." For example, an ingredient diluted to the level of 6X contains 0.0000001% of the active ingredient. This homeopathic mode of action is similar in theory to a conventional allergy or flu shot, yet the 100% Natural Active Ingredients in homeopathic products are much more dilute, and are safe for all ages. Similasan is often asked why some ingredients, such as apis (honey bee), belladonna and mercurius are used? After all, these substances can trigger significant reactions when used in strong concentrations. This is true. In homeopathy however, the dosages are not concentrated enough to poison the body. The body's immune system reacts to the ingredients by triggering the immune system to heal the underlying problem. For example, a microdilution of honey bee will trigger the body to fight symptoms such as burning, stinging and swelling, which are in many cases, the symptoms of allergy. In summary, homeopathy is a completely unique way of treating ailments. Rather than imposing a chemical drug on the body with the hope of temporarily masking symptoms, homeopathic 100% Natural Active Ingredients attempt to stimulate a physiological reaction of the body's healing mechanisms. In other words, homeopathy encourages the body to maintain proper health by imposing a gentle stimulus, and letting your system do the rest. History of HomeopathyHomeopathy is derived from the Greek words homeo, meaning similar, and pathos, meaning suffering. The principle of homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars. It was Dr. Samuel Hahnemann who discovered the benefits of homeopathy. He pioneered the dilution process still used by all homeopathic formulators. Today, after 200 years of homeopathic drug proving, there is a basis or "pathogenesis" that each formulator and homeopathic practitioner follows when diagnosing and treating patients. Dr. Samuel Hahnemann: The Father of Homeopathic Medicine Samuel Hahnemann developed the homeopathic approach to medicine more than 200 years ago. Hahnemann was awarded his doctorate in medicine from the University of Erlangen, Germany in 1779. After practicing medicine for 5 years, he found that conventional medicine at the time was invasive, riddled with side effects, and often did more harm than good. He wanted to develop a system that would serve as a gentle first line of defense. After reading a 20-page dissertation describing the use of cinchona bark to treat malaria, Hahnemann experimented with this ingredient. To his surprise, he found that cinchona bark actually caused malaria symptoms when taken in large doses. He then hypothesized that cinchona was effective in helping treat malaria due to its ability to cause these symptoms. In subsequent treatments on people suffering from malaria, he confirmed that while cinchona helped, it was very harsh and caused other difficulties. Hahnemann found that diluting the cinchona eliminated it's harsh side effects while maintaining its beneficial healing effects. Hahnemann then had a brilliant idea: to progressively dilute the substances and to mix or grind the dilution in each stage of concentration. Named "dynamization" by Dr. Hahnemann, this preparation technique was a significant contribution to the foundation of homeopathy. His formulations and theories proved to be startlingly effective treatments, even 200 years later. Homeopathy TodayStemming from Hahnemann's experiments, homeopathy went on to become a predominant form of medical treatment used by physicians worldwide. In the U.S. homeopathy was widely practiced in hospitals in the 19th and early 20th centuries. As recently as 1998, the World Health Organization recognized homeopathy as one of the systems of traditional medicine that should be integrated with conventional medicine to ensure adequate health care. In the U.S. today, there are hundreds of homeopathic OTC products found in drug stores, grocery stores, health food stores and mass merchandisers. Frequently Asked Questions: What is Homeopathy?Homeopathy is derived from the Greek words homeo, meaning similar, and pathos, meaning suffering. The principle of Homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars. It was Dr. Samuel Hahnemann who discovered the benefits of Homeopathy. He pioneered the dilution process still used by all Homeopathic formulators. Today, after 200 years of Homeopathic drug proving, there is a basis or "pathogenesis" that each formulator and homeopathic doctor follows when diagnosing and treating patients. Are Homeopathic products regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration?Yes, homeopathic remedies are prepared according to the guidelines of the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States (HPUS), which is recognized as official by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The manufacture of homeopathic remedies is regulated similarly to nonprescription, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does require that homeopathic remedies meet certain legal standards for quality, strength, and purity. Only products for self-limiting conditions recognizable by consumers (minor health problems like a cold or headache that go away on their own) can be sold without a prescription. To be accepted as a homeopathic drug by the FDA, product ingredients must be identified in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS). Can I use Similasan products while pregnant/nursing?As with all OTC products, if you are pregnant or nursing, you should check with your health care provider before using their products. If possible, check with a health care provider who is familiar with homeopathic products. My doctor isn't familiar with Similasan products or how they work. Where can I find a doctor who is?Similasan recommends visiting a doctor who has received training in homeopathy. The National Center for Homeopathy publishes a list of homeopathic practitioners on its website. Does Similasan perform animal testing?No. Similasan products are never tested on animals. Will Similasan products cause dependence or "the rebound effect? "While some conventional OTC medicines (eye drops and nasal decongestants) clear up, or "mask," symptoms temporarily, the same symptoms often come back with shorter periods of relief in between doses. For this reason, many people develop a dependency on OTC eye drops and nasal decongestants. Similasan's Original Swiss Formulas are intended to stimulate the body's natural ability to provide relief for symptoms of common ailments. There is no worry of toxic build-up or the rebound effect with any Similasan product. About The Company: Similasan Corporation, USA Similasan homeopathic products are formulated using traditional guidelines and produced according to strict Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) by Similasan AG. They are imported, distributed, and marketed by Similasan Corporation, their North American headquarters, located just south of Denver, Colorado. Similasan Corporation was founded in 1987 with the introduction of Dry Eye Relief eye drops (formerly known as Eye Drops #1), which is hugely popular in Switzerland. Americans immediately realized the benefit of using a gentle, homeopathic eye drop and the Similasan Corporation story began. Since then, Similasan products have found a place in the American family's medicine cabinet by offering gentle, safe and effective remedies that provide symptomatic relief from ailments of the eyes, ears, nose, nerves, chest, cough & cold, and kids. For over 30 years, their Original Swiss Formulas - always made with 100% Natural Active Ingredients - have been providing families with remedies they can trust. Where It All StartedSimilasan AG in Jonen, Switzerland was founded by Swiss druggist Armin Spaeni from a line of combination homeopathic remedies that he created for his retail store. After realizing the success that his remedies had in treating his patients' ailments, Spaeni, along with two friends, founded Similasan AG in Jonen, Switzerland in 1980 to enable them to manufacture larger quantities of remedies for their rapidly growing customer base. Similasan quickly became one of the best selling brands in Swiss drugstores, where it remains as a top seller of over- the- counter remedies.

Everyone probably remembers the recent "monster" being created inside Mayuri's laboratory in secret, if not, I'm talking about this:
as you can see, even people used to Mayuri's creepiness and the like are shocked and disgusted by what he does, so this is not something they normally do and they normally blow up and cut apart people, shinigami, hollow, humans, quincy, Zanpakutou and other, so this might really be something, though it's probably another hype .
Most people more or less know from where the connection between Mayuri and Sayzel comes and it is this:
yep, those are special "specimen" found in Sayzel's underground vault, which picked Kurotsuchi's interests, kukukuku.
Now this was the easy part, now comes the reason why and how, from where and for what, were they stored ?
Let's stat with the fact that almost none in HM liked Aizen's rule, so certainly most people/arrancar were planing something or doing something in order to kill him in the future, Sayzel was no different. Yes, his experiment, super Arrancer, was in order to beat Aizen (indifference to Renji that trained to battle Aizen, this thing was meant in order to own him and that was way before Mayuri put his hands on it, so who knows just what might come up, kukukuku).
You probably wonder why "super" and why "arrancer", well that is quite simple, because those specimen are a part of the privaron espada.
Let's start with the first clue:
who send them you ask ? Well looks like Aizen also wants to know:
the culprit comes out clean quite fast:
unfortunately, you are not that smart Sayzel and certainly not the first one, you are nothing more than another Gin or Ichigo, nothing more than a meat for Aizen to devour, yep he knows "all":
yep, the mustacho wind kicker is likely the specimen on the right.
Now, the one on the left is another unfortunate soul:
Aizen already knows, so they don't need to hide their intentions anymore. On the spoiler below you can notice the things on her legs are the same as those on the specimen on the left:
So, at the very least there are 2 ex-espada specimen there, but let's not forget that there are at least 7 ex-espada (since Sado battle espada 107 and the 3-digits are all ex-espada) and probably other specimen, like Noitora that had to "pay" for Sayzel's help in taking down Nel somehow and probably Nel herself and who knows else ? Perhaps they are already somewhat fused, or something, not to mention that Sayzel beside analyzing equipment possessed cloning powers, so there might have been really something in there, kukukuku. But he died before he completed his research, but thankfully Mayuri garbed what was left behind .
You probably wonder if giving such a monster to SS might not be a little too much ? Not at all, after all what greater target/pray to show the next emperor's power could be, if not something that were meant to take down Aizen himself that is recognized as one of the war potentials ?
This monster might be quite a hurdle for Quincy, since Mayuri's battle methods and analysis are as below (a few pages):
So not only he might know his enemies really well, he might even know where they are and if he is really angry, he might drop that thing on them, before anyone else realizes it. That is assuming that Uryu hasn't purged those bacterias from himself, or that other Quincies haven't been infected when they attacked SS before.

Babies and young children have an intense need for the physical presence of a consistent, loving, responsive caregiver: ideally a parent. If it becomes necessary, choose an alternate caregiver who has formed a bond with the child and who cares for him in a way that strengthens the attachment relationship. Keep schedules flexible, and minimize stress and fear during short separations.

We love finding new and exciting ways of styling denim, especially when it comes together so effortlessly with something that's totally new and unexpected. Take this amazing spring 2012 lookbook by Eighteenth, for example. The juxtaposition of ethereak, soft white sportswear with light wash denim in unique cuts and styles is perfection and so different that we can't help but stare at how cool it looks. We love the exaggerated look of the denim jacket with cuffed sleeves over the oversized-sleeve crop top. And we're totally crushing over the urban and fresh sensibility of the drop crotch oversized stove pipe jeans that have the aura of a full length denim skirt perfectly styled with a billowy sheer top.
