Cause, Effect and the Food I put in my Mouth.
When I first started this website, I absolutely wanted to include some information about dieting. For obvious and not so obvious reasons, our diets have a huge effect on our happiness. I want to start my posts in the Health category by writing an introduction on how I think the foods we eat are the causes of positive and negative effects on our Body and Mind.
1) Diets for Good Body Image:
This is probably by far the number one food related topic exposed by media today. We diet to lose weight. Period. This is what we always hear and this is what we have gotten used to. Slowly, the trend is moving towards eating for a healthier body, as prevention or fight against illness, but still there is a large emphasis on keeping extra weight off. Basically, happiness depends on keeping slim, on looking good in the mirror and attractive to others, therefore our diet becomes a very big element in our search for happiness.
2) Foods to Keep Healthy:
Clear skin, bright eyes, shiny hair, calm stomach, strong muscles are all signs of a healthy body. What we eat has a direct effect on these parts of our body so naturally, it is advisable to eat well, including more vitamins, minerals and proteins in our diets. Empty calories and junk food, although still very popular especially in the younger demographics, are known to be unhealthy, void of nutrients needed by our bodies to grow in youth, to age gracefully, to prevent and fight illness. Being physically healthy is of course a very important element of happiness, easily taken away by sickness. A healthy body is a happy body.
3) Foods that Some Bodies will not Tolerate:
My family has recently discovered food intolerances (which I will definitely talk more about in later posts). The way I see it and after much research on the subject, my body considers some foods as toxin and refuses to digest them. These foods include anything containing gluten, dairy products, citruses, yeast, alcohol, artificial colouring and sugars among others. Symptoms vary between me and my kids; they range from kidney pain (excrutiating), dizziness, fainting, light anemia, hypoglycemia, hyperactivity, aggressiveness, depression, crying, fogginess, migraine, constipation/diahrrea, bloating, exzema, acne, just to name the most obvious. Other symptoms may also be caused by food intolerances but they are so common, vague or sometimes considered trivial, that the link to food will not be easily made. Stress will often be named the culprit. For obvious reasons, these types of symptoms affect our mind and body and can cause serious problems on the longer term. They will affect our happiness level.
Although the first two issues are very important and I would like to discuss them to some extent, the third point will be the main focus of my posts in the Health category as it has affected my life to an unbelievable extent. I have spoken about it to many friends and most people relate to my stories. There is still not enough information out there to help those who think they might be going through difficulties because of intolerances and unfortunately, testing is still not 100% accurate or reliable, testing may be complicated, expensive or contraversial.
As patients try to be their own doctors more and more, it is important to have as much information circulating as possible to help make the right and healthy choices. I will discuss testing, diet choices, things to ask a physician or naturopath and symptoms to watch out for, all in our quest for happiness. I am very excited to get discussions going about this to learn more and share the information with those of you out there looking for it. Keep coming back for more and write to me!

One way to handle their unhealthy practices is to encourage physical activity. It is one of the most crucial practices of healthy lifestyle. Make your kids participate in some exercise like exercise or any other sport they like. Make them instill a routine of strolling or running daily. The exercise assists in 2 methods: one – it enhances physical health; 2 – it replaces the time spent for unhealthy habits like smoking, alcohol addiction counseling. Nevertheless, make sure that it is made a regular practice.
Another made revenue option is the sale of tangible items. The American Cancer Society has mastered the art of selling items. On their site you can purchase precious jewelry, t-shirts, jackets, watches, and a myriad of other products. They have a crystal beads bracelet that costs $18.99. If they sell 1,000 of these in one month, they have actually produced $19,000.00. Their lug item offers for $12.99. Again, offering 1,000 of these will generate $13,000.00. At the time I wrote this post they reported on their site that they raised $58 million dollars through their numerous fundraisers and sale of products.
CNN reported that the director of an alcohol counseling program testified that Lohan had actually missed out on 9 therapy sessions in the previous six months which the prosecutor said that it was reported that Lohan "kept comprising innovative excuses" for not attending the sessions.

He kept in mind that his Mom sat at the kitchen table and wept. His father stumbled into their bed room and was soon snoring. Sam was torn. He wished to go to his Mother and comfort her; nevertheless, he hesitated of waking his Dad. He lastly crept off to his bed room and attempted to sleep.
The something we have choosing us is the understanding that we have an option. We will always capture looks of darkness in our behaviors. At that point will come the option to go there or not. Dealing with option is far simpler than rejecting that the impulse exists at all. It takes a great deal of work to bury something.

Kayle Build
Middle Lane
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Start game
Play safe and farm 'til lvl 3, after that w8 for foe to use atleast one of his skills then strike q, and e 3-4 times , dont use w unless you dont have to, mana wasting. Keep your distance and harass with e over minions if foe is close to them 'cause splash dmg. Don't use ulti only when you are low use it when foe is using strongest skills to ignore them and ignore it all so you will have good hp for attacking after ulti and you can deal tons of dmg. Lich is one of best items for kayle 'cause of q e combo, after q and e wait 2 sec for lich to restart then use w to use it again.
Use e to farm minions with low hp just do last hits so you dont push your lane but if there is lots of them clean them all at once you get fine exp and gold. Farm mage minions first they are squishy then just last hit tanky minions, 'cause better lasthits and easier farm.
Team Work
Don't use ulti only for yourself or your adc use it for the one who engage, they will probably use most of their strongest skills on him and melt him down, that's why you need to ult him, it will ignore all dmg and you still will have tank for the rest of teamfight. But if they focus you as soon you see them coming on you use ulti to ignore dmg and flash out of that area, then get back and strike with everything you have.


text: Spoke to psychiatrist this AM...he is doing well, but has little insight as to why he is in the hospital. It seems he feels that nothing helps him...not medications, not therapy, nothing. This has been his theme for years. P doctor says because of this attitude prognosis is poor. He will start the PHP program Tuesday, discharge will be tomorrow. P doctor says more aggressive therapy such as a psychiatric residential treatment center would be appropriate, but how to pay for it, and how to get him to go? I am starting to apply for services for him. I am looking into group homes. I am very anxious and afraid of the future, and apprehensive about bringing him home. But I am determined that we, my husband and I, are not going to go down with him. I am packing a backpack with change of clothes, weeks supply of medications, and toiletries. Also list of phone numbers for relatives and the local PADS shelter. 3 days out for not doing what we say. Maybe more. Trying to stay strong. Pat

Yet once again there is another Islamic attack on a priest in France.
This is like the 5th attack or something within a month or less.
Am I the only one that's sick of it. Does it really make sense to say its extremists or rather the culture and religion breeds extremists?
Most Helpful Girl
The attacks on France are mostly to do with its role in Imperialist wars, less to do with a "culture that breeds extremists". They are at *war*, you know. Such is the reality of conflict. Western powers can drop hundreds of bombs on civilian infrastructure and fire artillery into civilian crowds, and then act shocked that their enemy will do the same.
People will try to say I am saying that France deserves it and I'm not. The everyday French people are the ones being targeted by foreign (para) military powers, as are the everyday people of Syria, Iraq, Mali... None of them deserve it. These are ideological wars and imperialist power plays fought with human lives. It is time to end war.31|22|1
"These are ideological wars and imperialist power plays fought with human lives. It is time to end war."
What people are forgetting is that these are wars over resources and land and politics disguised behind religion
Most Helpful Guy
Lets go back not so long ago when Germany opened the doors to Syrian refugees and thought of a happy ever after ending... :)
ha! look where we are now. And it's far more surprising Americans are still debating issues about immigrants and the Syrian refugees. People think Obama is this super awesome cool guy, when he is the one who has insisted in opening doors to Muslims. He has caused severe damage with all his leftist bullshit, and his progressive propaganda.
People need to learn you cannot mix cultures that are like oil and water, and expect them to work together without any sort of friction or violence. Islam is oppressive, and their beliefs are extremist by default (look at the video below). Setting aside terrorism, Islam intentions is to spread worldwide and to dominate. Try to put your head in a war context against what is without doubt the most violent and extremist religion/culture on earth.
Syrian refugees didn't commit any of those crimes tho
@Jehovahkiin I never said that. But terrorists did infiltrate with the syrian refugees. The risk was always there, and if you see the footage you would notice the big, big majority of refugees were men holding children. Imagine if USA openly opened the doors for them...
I still read comments now and get shocked by the responses. I wonder if these things happened in their own backyard, would they still have the same damn liberal ideals?

[dsatmhk7] If they need/want the market to be down; it's falling fast today -oil down under $89
[Moonchild] and gold at 1543
bamanana] steady1 Smart.....I laugh at the crazy double digit thoughts......I don't even go there.....of course I could find a way to use it! LOL
bamanana] steady1 $.86 will be a life changer for most of us! :)
FIRECRACKERMAN56] .86 is a joke. imo. need to study.
bamanana] FIRECRACKERMAN56 so you care to think what is reasonable?
FIRECRACKERMAN56] bamanana, Start with alot higher number. All we have to do is the math. .86 does not work at all. Even with Iraq they can't survive on that. Start with 3.86.imo.
Read More Link on Right
bamanana] FIRECRACKERMAN56 3.86 very reasonable.........and I believe that is more likely than .86 but that is not a LOT higher IMO. I hope you're right!
[averysgrampa] FIRECRACKERMAN56 seriously now...........i have always thought they would atleast come back with what was equal to Sadaam rate of what 3.22? and didnt i hear that i think shabs said it will at least return to its former glory? not to mention that .86 wont even begin to pay off their bills.thoughts?
brsuperduty] averysgrampa and their budget for 2012 is set for 3.41 hello
[1+1] averysgrampa .86 cents would be a great start for them though. Imo
averysgrampa] 1+1 i totally agree with you it would be a great start for all concerned at this poiunt (myself included) maybe then it will rise quickly and its a win win for everyone
[brsuperduty] 1+1 but why would you set your 2012 budget and approve it at 3.41 and then on put it at .86???
[bamanana] I guess my conservative #s are due to my roots....... $8 and nobody might ever catch me again! LOL
[averysgrampa] bamanana im with ya there! 8 bucks daaaang
[bamanana] averysgrampa TRAVEL TRAVEL TRAVEL......I might even go to some of those places only the WEALTHY folks go....:)
[averysgrampa] brsuperduty no no no not trying to argue bubba all im saying is at this point for all of us here .86 would put alot of us in good shape till the real rate appeared
[jvbuckster] averysgrampa $8 would be dandy. .86 would get it done too but $8 is definitely nicer
[ [bamanana] averysgrampa absolutely. cash in enough to make life easy!
[averysgrampa] bamanana bnut but but you ARE almost one of those wealthy folks!
[SALTYDOG] averysgrampa At least...............This is a world wide event.........Mid 3s is ok for Iraqs buget but if you are going to start this recalibration of the worlds economy then think double digits
[marchmadness] If Iraq comes out at .86 and plans to go up from there every hedge fund manager would jump all over this and Iraq would be broke quickly.
[SALTYDOG] bamanana I will be happy with what ever comes...........I also like to look at that bigger picture of how you put the world back on track
[brsuperduty] 1+1 but theres only 6 months left of the year besides their debts are due the minute their out of chapter 7, now would you want to use a bunch of your money to settle these debts because you only came out at 86 or come out at 4.00 and only use a little your money
[bamanana] SALTYDOG I appreciate that........I have a hard enough time trying to figure out how to get ME back on track! :)
[averysgrampa] SALTYDOG ohhhhhh lord were all starting to sound itelligent again? hehe
[bamanana] averysgrampa again?
[SALTYDOG] averysgrampa I have an occasional moment her and there rofl

bama] let's hope we don't have to attend Summer school
[dsatmhk7] bama - I'd take a lower grade to avoid summer school :)
[daniandquin] I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. -- Winston Churchill

I had a feeling the story that ran today, Study measures dropouts' impact, might elicit a "Duh!" response from some.
Judging by comments from online readers, that's exactly what it did.
But commenter Martinez raises a valid point. "The answer," Martinez says, "is not to 'give away' more diplomas."
I couldn't agree more, as do, I believe, many people in education policy circles.
The point of the study, as I read it, was not to encourage the watering down of standards or anything else that would cheapen the value of a diploma. There's plenty of evidence out there that shows too many high school graduates still need to take remedial courses before they can even begin college-level work, or that they need extra training before they are ready to begin a post-high school job.
The organization that released the report, Alliance for Excellent Education, consistently advocates for changes in national and federal policy so that "all students can achieve at high academic levels and graduate from high school ready for success in college, work, and citizenship" in the 21st century.
As part of that, the alliance, a nonpartisan Washington, D.C.-based think tank, has participated in several high-profile efforts to report on the lagging graduation rates across the country and call for changes to improve that. The latest of those, which got some attention nationally, was a three-day seminar in Washington called Building a Grad Nation. During the summit, which wrapped up Wednesday (and at which I was not present, but I have read several of its materials), a report was issued showing that there has been progress nationwide toward making all high schools more effective at graduating students within four years with regular diplomas.
Contributors to the report include the seminar's host, America's Promise Alliance, and the Everyone Graduates Center at Johns Hopkins University.
Of course, the best intentions of any organization, be it governmental, nonprofit or a business, mean nothing if change doesn't actually occur at the front lines: in the classrooms of the schools in Richmond, Columbia and Aiken counties and all across the nation.
The point of the report, and the story I wrote, I think was to serve as a reminder to those who can make a difference -- school district leadership, school administration, teachers, parents and even students themselves -- to explain again just why it matters that students stay in school and not be either "pushed out" or be allowed to drift away.
If just one person who reads the story, or the report, is inspired to make the extra effort to help a struggling teenager stay in school, help any student learn at a higher level and do all they can to be prepared for life after high school, then it will have made a difference.
Also, don't forget the project showing the link between attendance and graduation -- another which elicited a "Duh!" response from readers. As intuitive as these concepts are or may seem, I believe it's important to show data that either support or refute them to reinforce how important it is to not overlook the obvious in the important mission of making sure as many students as possible graduate from high school ready to take on a full-time job, join the military or go on to some form of postsecondary education. Look out for another installment of this project coming in the next few weeks that will examine attendance and graduation rates of subgroups of students as measured by race/ethnicity, economic status, English language proficiency and whether they have disabilities.
Please keep the comments coming -- positive, negative, critical. I value your feedback and will try my best to maintain a conversation here about education issues.

Performance switching using footswitch
Haizel posted a topic in XW-P1 SpecificIs there any way to configure the XW-P1 so that I may switch between performance presets using an unlatched footswitch or a sustain pedal? Changing the preset via the + or - button is a little difficult while playing with both hands. I've checked the main settings in the P1 but I can't find a way to do so. Thank you!
Mixer in performance mode
BrettM posted a topic in General DiscussionWith the mixer in performance mode, can I use sliders 1-4 as faders for zones 1-4? I am able change the volume (and other parameters) of each zone independently/monophonically, but can I do it polyphonically in real time? I seem to be able to do this OK for parts 8-16 while in the step sequencer, but I can't get it to work for parts 1-4. This would be very useful for fine tuning sounds in performance mode. There is something called "solo mode" in the mixer, but it makes no difference whether it's on or off.

Constipation as related to Dong Quai
What I need to know about Constipation
Angelica polymorpha; Angelica sinensis; Chinese Angelica; Danggui; Tan Kue Bai Zhi; Tang-Kuei
Constipation is passage of small amounts of hard, dry bowel movements, usually fewer than three times a week. People who are constipated may find it difficult and painful to have a bowel movement. Other symptoms of constipation include feeling bloated, uncomfortable, and sluggish.
Many people think they are constipated when, in fact, their bowel movements are regular. For example, some people believe they are constipated, or irregular, if they do not have a bowel movement every day. Howeve...

Jess Gomes is a pretty cool chick. She's a swimsuit model, health enthusiast and has that killer Australian accent. But that wasn't enough for her, was it? No, no. She had to take everything to a whole new level and get her racing license. Yes you heard that right -- racing license. Gomes took her talents to the race track to quench her need for speed. SwimDaily caught up with the six-time swimsuit model to get the scoop on her day at the track. Being the overachiever she is, Jess did her best David Letterman impression and gave us a list of 10 things being a race car driver made her realize.
1. Never, ever trust male drivers. I got hit! Luckily I didn't have to pay for damages :-)
2. An 'Apex' is a mark in which you must make to turn a corner on a race track.
3. Putting the pedal to the metal -- so important and so fun!
4. To break hard.
5. To drive smoothly.
6. I like driving on normal roads better.
7. I hate speeding.
8. I like traffic lights.
9. I'm sticking to my day job.
10. I have a new found respect for professional race car drivers.

Know your limits, but never accept them.
Writing and Photography by Conni Biesalski |
Follow me on Twitter and Google+ & Facebook.
I hear, read and give the advice a lot that you shouldn't do what makes you feel uncomfortable and that if you don't feel like doing something, you should take the liberty to not do it.
On the one hand, that's cool, I'm into that and I practice it in many aspects of life. Because wtf, I'm the boss of me and I get to decide what I want to do and how I want to spend my time. No need to put myself deliberately in situations that are difficult, stressful or make me feel uncomfortable. Right?
The other 50% is this: If you never do anything uncomfortable or difficult or stressful, and always stay well within your boundaries, you won't evolve or develop as a human being. If you keep doing all the nice and easy and familiar things, all you will be is: the same. Until the end of time. You won't grow. Your soul will get bored from just living. Your body gets tired of just being. Your mind will start shutting down, deprived of sensual stimulation. Eventually, you will die. Another useless life.
Have you ever pushed your boundaries? So hard that it hurt?
Have you tested them out to see how far you can go with yourself?
Have you ever challenged your body, your mind, your heart?
Do you know your limits?
If so, do you also know why they exist? Because you say so, because other people do, or because of your experiences?
Your boundaries. They are there to be tested and stretched and pushed and broken.
Don't ignore them. Don't accept them. Use them.

Cairo - The Egyptian pound strengthened slightly at a central bank sale of foreign currency on Monday, but weakened on the black market.
The pound has stopped strengthening on the black market since political turmoil escalated in Egypt last week, although not by enough to call it a trend yet.
The central bank decides the price at which it sells foreign currency at its foreign exchange sales and traders say it is ensuring the pound strengthens to give the impression that the economy is stable and improving despite the turmoil.
The official price of the pound has been appreciating slowly since the July 3 overthrow of President Mohamed Mursi.
Investor confidence, however, has been shaken by events of the past week and the Cairo stock market fell 3.9 percent on Sunday when it reopened after hundreds of people were killed in a crackdown by the army-backed government on supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood. The stock market was down another 0.3 percent on Monday.
The central bank sold $38 million and the cut-off price strengthened to 6.9780 Egyptian pounds per dollar from 6.9790 on Wednesday, the central bank said. The cut-off price on July 3 was 7.0184.
The bank had offered $40 million.
The pound was weaker on the black market, with one dealer saying he was prepared to buy dollars for 7.10 Egyptian pounds and sell them for 7.13 pounds.
Last Monday, the dealer had quoted 7.07/7.10 pounds.
The central bank introduced the currency sales, held three times a week, at the end of December to help stave off a currency crisis and thwart a run on the pound.
Since then, the central bank has allowed the currency to lose more than 11 percent of its value on the official market. The currency's value has been under pressure since the 2011 popular uprising chased away tourists and foreign investors and the dollars they brought into the country. - Reuters

The Frank Ward Solicitors Arkle Novice Chase has been switched from Sunday's card to Leopardstown to Saturday because of further rain being forecast.
The Grade One contest changes places with the Ryan's Event Cleaners Beginners Chase run over the same trip of two miles and one furlong.
In another change, the Listed Solerina Mares Novice Hurdle, which should have been run at Fairyhouse last weekend, has been transferred to Leopardstown's Sunday card.
Fresh entries for this race will close at noon on Wednesday.
Leopardstown chief executive Pat Keogh said: "We have made this decision early to give as much time as possible to owners and trainers to make their arrangements.
""The decision was made to ensure that we were able to run the Frank Ward Solicitors Arkle Novice Chase over the weekend.
"With all the uncertainty over the weather we have decided to err on the side of caution."

It's been 12 years since we were first introduced to an unsure (and slightly unhinged) Meredith Grey in the premiere episode of Grey's Anatomy. Now, after 13 seasons the doctors of Grey Sloane Memorial Hospital have become something akin to family for those fans dedicated enough to watch the almost 300 episodes of the series.
But not only have audiences watched as the characters of #GreysAnatomy have been through their ups and downs in the series, they've also benefited from the sage advice often dished out in each episode. Take a look below to relive some of the best Grey's Anatomy quotes from through the series run, and let me know your favorite in the comments below.
1. "Boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines... or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. Here's what I know: if you're willing to take a chance... the view from the other side... is spectacular." — Dr. Meredith Grey, S01E02
2. "Somebody sedate me!" — Dr. Cristina Yang, S02E04
3. "If you want crappy things to stop happening to you, then stop accepting crap and start demanding more." — Dr. Cristina Yang, S02E19
4. "The thing is, I was healthy my whole life until I wasn't. And for the last year, I've had a lot of time to lay around in bed and think about my life. And the things that I remember best? Well, those are the things that I wasn't supposed to do and I did them anyway. So the thing is, Meredith life is too damn short to be following these rules." — Denny Duquette, S02E23
5. "If I murdered someone, she's the person I'd call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor." — Dr. Cristina Yang, S03E16
6. "Sometimes it's good to be scared. It means you still have something to lose." — Dr. Richard Webber, S04E10

7. "Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here, and don't give a damn what anyone thinks. There are no teams here, no buddies. You're on your own. Be on your own." — Dr. Cristina Yang, S04E15
8. "Just when we think we figured things out, the universe throws us a curveball. So, we have to improvise. We find happiness in unexpected places. We find ourselves back to the things that matter the most. The universe is funny that way. Sometimes it just has a way of making sure we wind up exactly where we belong." — Dr. Meredith Grey, S07E10
9. "At some point, you just have to let go. Move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it's the only way we grow." — Dr. Meredith Grey, S08E20
10. "We're all going to die. We don't get much say over how or when, but we do get to decide how we're gonna live. So, do it. Decide. Is this the life you want to live? Is this the person you want to love? Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More Compassionate? Decide. Breathe in. Breathe out and decide." — Dr. Richard Webber, S10E01
11. "Don't let what he wants eclipse what you need. He's very dreamy, but he is not the sun, you are." — Dr. Cristina Yang, S10E24
12. "What's broken can be mended. What's hurt can be healed. That no matter how dark it gets, the sun's gonna rise again." — Dr. Meredith Grey, S11E24
13. "You have a voice. So use it. Speak up. Raise your hands. Shout your answers. Make yourself heard. Whatever it takes. Just find your voice. And when you do fill the damn silence." — Dr. Meredith Grey, S12E09
14. "Don't ever date a man who can't handle your P.O.W.E.R." — Dr. Meredith Grey, S12E20
What's your favorite Grey's Anatomy quote?

Resolutions or goals — what's the difference you ask?
Admittedly, a small distinction in wording, but it isn't actually as small a difference as you might think.
Here's what I'm suggesting. The very wording "new year resolution" gives one the wiggle room to stop the thing completely, should they lose interest in it, or happen to have a few days where they neglect to do what is needed to stay on track. Plus, there's always that idea that if they fall off the wagon — there is always next year — it's as though it is easier to give yourself permission to just quit and pick up next January (which of course rarely happens).
Using the term goals, rather then new years resolutions, while a tiny distinction in wording in fact can make all the difference for several reasons.
* You go into the goal setting experience understanding that it is not something that has to be completed totally uninterrupted, and should you find that you end up taking a break from your goal it is perfectly acceptable to come back to it at the very moment when you are reminded that you wish to do so.
In other words when you use the term goals versus new years resolutions you go into it with an understanding that you will stick with them until they are completed and will come back to them in the event that you end up losing focus on what you need to be working on for a brief period of time.
Consistency is critical in goal setting
There is no shortage of ways to go about setting goals. Rather then focus on specific techniques I'm going to discuss how important consistency is with regards to achieving what you set out to accomplish.
Friend, more often than not the difference between seeing your goal through and falling short gets down to your ability to remain engaged in the activity.
Make no mistake — consistency is vitally important. I would offer the following suggestion to help ensure you reach more of your goals. Develop the habit of writing out your goals each and every day. It's repetitive for sure, but that repetition is precisely what makes it work. Keep a journal or 3×5 index cards, whatever is most convenient and rewrite those goals every day. Doing so will do wonders for keeping you involved in what's required of you to achieve what you have set for yourself.
Your ability to practice consistency in your goal setting will ensure you accomplish far more of the things you set out to do. Make that commitment and you will find that it makes all the difference.
It's your life, LIVE BIG!

The dog in the background with his frisbee put a smile on my face:)
Good info I live in Miami can u break down pollo tropical? Thanks
Awesome vids man. Now review In N Out!!
hey David, i have a few videos on quick snacks…go search my "Brad's Cookbook" playlist.
hey Brad new to your channel, got some good info thanks. maybe do a vid on meals I can take with me when I go hiking way up it the Yosemite. things that can be put in a back pack and ate on the trail all day. Also I am trying to kick grains so breads for sandwiches are out I guess. Any deas?
Can you talk about how bad is to only eat Doritos for dinner and talk aobut how bad is Del Taco. My husband is a skinny guys who is trying to get into the building muscle (healthy way) regiment. But hes not well informed and he hates it when I tell him about it. Thanks!
Great info Brad. Thanks!
Awesome Video. You didn't mention the cheeses. But I guess that's because it has a bunch of crap in it too. I have studied Subway as well and when you look at the sodium content alone, it should make you cringe. I only eat subway when I'm traveling and I ran out of my own food. Then it's a veggie sub toasted using the wheat bread.
Wow great!!! Video thank you!!!!
#LLTV – I'm a flight attendant and triathlete. Usually take my own meals when I travel, but that doesn't always work out. How about a review on HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES AT AN AIRPORT for the travelers. Common restaurants are Sbarro, Dunkin Doughnuts, Auntie Ann, Starbucks, Chinese fast food(too many to count), Jumba Juice, The Grove. Lots of places to choose from, but how about a snack, a smoothie or drink/treat, coffee and a meal choice?? Pretty please ;)
subway disliked this
this Is awesome. I used to think subway is healthy choices
I really like these vids Brad. Real eye opener!
can you do Chipotle restaurant ?
OMG my jaw just drop I can believe it…I was so naive e ignorant…The chicken ingredients are ridiculous…Thank you so much you just save my life… thank you.
Always excellent..to the point info..Thanks very much.
thanks Katelyn…when you refer to the "chicken breast" you have to use quotes as its still up for debate what it actually is!
We eat somewhat differently but I do completely agree with you about the "pay more for less" and "more expensive healthy options should not be more" arguments. From
Brad… I LOVE your videos! So much energy and a great variety of topics, not just workouts and not just food… a combination of all things good. A true #FITFLUENTIAL.
p.s. That chicken breast is seriously grossing me out. Never getting that on a salad again!!
Do you have a review for Chic-Fil-A? Thanks for the video.
dijon is cool!
Oh wow… I feel a bit sick now. I knew the "chicken" breast wasn't quite right but I didn't think it was this far off… Thankfully, I LOVE turkey! Please tell me I can still have my Dijon mustard!
I totally hear you about the price difference! It's quite frustrating, but not too surprising given the food industry. This one was really an eye opener for me. Just when you think you're doing something right… Thanks.
i'll add Wendy's to the list of film ideas
good idea! i'll add it to the list.
yes you can not stay healthy while drinking…now every now and again isnt bad but not everyday or even every weekend

iMac Pro review
mp3 player
hi need help i have just bought mp3 player installed it now i want to copy music to the mp3 instuctions say use explorer to get the music to the player plug usb lead into mp3 it says ready but i am lost on what to do next please help pete.
When you plug in usb2 lead windows should see drive as Usb mass storage device Drive F (or whatever letter is assigned to it) In windows explorer you should be able to drag and drop your music files into the new drive
2 questions what operating system and do you have any MP3 files on your computer?
cheers thanks very much works, one last question do i have to take the battery out every time i connect usb lead kind regards pete.
No, I think if you take the battery out, it will not work.
FWIW, please post here rather than via email - that way, others can help too.
From Pete by email" xp no have no mp3 files on computer ". Pete you must be new to the Forum, when you are asked a question write your answer down at the bottom in the box and then click Post response, don't send emails to people that is not what the envelope box is for and of course then others can't see what you're saying.
Anyway enough said. When you plug your MP3 player in if you go to My Computer there should be a new drive listed, it'll be the next letter which is unassigned, if your computer has a C and D drive for example it'll appear as E and so on. Now presuming its the first time you've used it you need to format it first. Right click on the symbol for it in My Computer and left click on Format, thats it, its now ready. Next go to this site and download Audiograbber its free. click here Now theres also a plug in you can download, it tells you about it on the website but leave that for now you can read it later. Theres lots of other programs you can get, you can see about them later once you know how its done. Install the program, start it up, get an audio cd, insert it and follow the instructions to rip the cd to mp3. I suggest for speed you just try one track at the moment but thats up to you, pay attention to where the program stores the mp3s. Once thats done all you do is either drag and drop the mp3 file on to your player or cut and paste it. If you've done it correctly the file will now be on the player, disconnect it and play away.
hi i have put another cd in my drive but cannot find it in windows explorer to drag it into the mp3 player not sure what i have done the first time i did it it came up with the pic of the album i just draged that over removable disk drive G and there were the songs on mp3 regards pete.
Doesn't the software that came with the player help at all?
For e.g my Creative Jukebox needs it's own 'player' software to transfer the music files across. If I 'drag and drop' them they are regarded as data files and won't play.
Just a thought.
Pete did you do what I said and download Audiograbber, it sounds to me as if you're trying to drag from the CD to the MP3 player and to be honest I don't know if you can do that, and even if you can the size of the files would be so large you'd be lucky to get half a dozen songs on it, but anyway assuming you have converted the CD to MP3 using the program I suggested then the MP3s are usually stored in My Music under My Documents, if you're unsure and still can't find it just run audiograbber again and make sure you look at where it puts the files or run it and look at the top of the audiograbber program where its running it tells you somewhere up there as to where it stores the MP3s. I know this may seem a bit complicated but as with all things once you've done it a few times it becomes remarkably easy.
This thread is now locked and can not be replied to.

Discussion in 'NorthEast Regional Discussion' started by Ryno, Nov 11, 2004.
I'm sure he has more than one video out there waiting to come out.
Well, at 11:45 this morning I became an Uncle again.My Sister had a baby boy,Joshua Robert Gannon.
Thanks. I'll post a picture when I can get a good shot of him.Right now he's in the Special Nursery Unit because he was having some breathing trouble and is a little small.He seems to be bouncing back well now.His color is good and he's screaming his head off.
Screaming...I guess that could be considered a good thing in this case.
Congrats, Scott. Hope the little guy makes it through okay.
He's doing just fine.He's back in the regular Nursery and I just got home after my Brother and I took the Daddy out to celebrate.
Cool, good thing he's doing fine now.
Congrats Scott!!! I glad to hear the little guy is doing fine now
congrats Ryno on being an uncle....again.
jacen solo rocks this house
Did you see that the world's oldest guy died at 113? He was a Sox fan, so he remembers the team winning way back in 1918 (and other years), and he also got to see them win this year.
Wow, RIP for the eldest man.
I know that this is a little early, but Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
Welcome to the Foxboro forum blackranger_JacenSolo.
Hope you will stop by and post whenever you get a chance to.
I'mmmmmmmm Here!
Hide the women and Children!
*Hides* Welcome!
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving tomorrow. Thanksgiving isn't the best of times for me, cuz it makes me miss my family. I don't have enough time off from school to make the trip all the way to IL, so I have my own celebration here in Boston.
This year is the 3rd Annual Tony Dowe Hotdog and Hamburger Thanksgiving Extravaganza!
I just got a new George Foreman grille, and I'm all ready to have some hotdogs and hamburgers. Yummy.
Tony I feel for you man.
I am working 16 hours that day myself.
I will have time though between shifts to sleep a few hours and have a bite to eat with my girlfriend.
If I wasn't working most of the day I would gladly invite you over to where I would be.
Well I won't be able to post much until maybe Friday so I will wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
That was the closest face to a turkey available.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!!! It feels weird that we will be eating turkey tommorrow considering that there are a lot of wild turkeys that LOVE my college campus. I swear you could just walk out of a dorm on a random day and see a few wild turkeys wondering around the quad or on the sports fields, etc. It's funny.
I hope everyone has a good Holiday. I have about 14 people coming over tomorrow.
I have about 14 people coming over tomorrow.
Good Luck and have fun.

A Bassetlaw man who was catapulted from a car during a high-speed crash- despite wearing a seatbelt- has spoken out about road safety.
Jake Henderson, 25, was a passenger in a car being driven along Welham Road on the A620 in December 2014 when his friend lost control of the vehicle and it left the road, rolling several times and ending up in a nearby field.
Jake was a rear passenger in the vehicle and was thrown out of the window at the back of the vehicle, despite wearing his seatbelt at the time of the accident.
He suffered a fractured ankle, as well as injuries to his back, shoulder and neck and was taken by ambulance to Doncaster Royal Infirmary where he remained for three days.
Jake, a telesales executive from Retford, said: "This accident has had a huge impact on my life.
"I couldn't believe it when I ended up being thrown out of the car. I was wearing my seatbelt at the time and I was only thrown out when the seat I was sat in broke during the crash.
"The injuries to my ankle, neck and back left me struggling to get out of bed and I had to take four months off work.
"I could no longer do the job I used to and I've had a succession of jobs in a short space of time that have been impossible due to the pain I'm in on a regular basis.
"Hopefully, people will see what has happened to me and think carefully about staying safe on the road and protecting themselves, as well as the people who they have in their car."
Jake has been able to access physiotherapy and rehabilitation he required but the driver's insurance company has failed to admit liability for the injuries.
Jake says it has therefore been difficult for him to put the ordeal behind him.
Elizabeth Whitehead, a serious injury lawyer at Irwin Mitchell, who is representing Jake, said: "The ongoing problems Jake is suffering indicates just how serious road accidents can be for those involved.
"Sadly for Jake, the injuries he suffered continue to have a significant impact on his life and he is facing the possibility of major surgery to help alleviate the pain he suffers every day.
"He was unable to work for a long period of time and has struggled to find a position that does not leave him in severe pain. As well as the physical injuries, he has also has psychological barriers to overcome.
"Jake has been through a frustrating 18 months since the accident and we believe the rehabilitation put in place for him by the driver's insurance company is less than adequate for his needs."

I'm at the stage of unemployment where it's time to think outside the box (WAY outside the box) and like George, I have numerous special and unique talents that have been under-utilized in my previous jobs. Talents for which I should be rewarded.
v I like fashion + I watch a lot of TV = red carpet network TV commentator for the awards shows
v I like to read + I like fashion = editor of Vogue (I know, I know, I've been pushing for this one since I was in college)
v I'm really good at quickly remembering people based on their voice = FBI voice recognition analyst- terrorist division
v I watch a lot of reality TV + came up with the Project Runway All Stars concept = Head of Programming for Lifetime TV
v I like good food and wine = food critic for the New York Times
v I read really fast = Pulitzer Prize committee judge.
I see no reason why my location, inability to move at this time, and the unemployment rate in
Do you have any special talents that aren't currently being recognized in the business world but should be?

Life Lately
Probably the most notable happening of the past month was my sister's graduation from Luther College. I was there less than 48 hours, and it was pretty much go, go, go the whole time. Highlights included eating at McDonalds after Commencement, since we didn't want to wait to eat. Lowlights included moving Hannah (and Lexi) out of a sixth floor dorm room. It was basically my cardio for the month.
P.S. The fifth person in the picture is the previously mentioned Lexi, Hannah's roomie.
Here are other notable items from my life!
Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy. I'm a huge fan of Cassanda Clare's shadowhunter novels. And though the short story collections (like this one) aren't nearly as good, I've gotten pretty into it.
I also read about 100 pages of Shiny Broken Pieces. Not superior. (Of course, I was 80+ pages in when I realized that it was a sequel. So that didn't help.)
The Great British Baking Show. This show is a gem. I was looking for a replacement for Cupcake Wars (which was rudely taken off of Netflix), but this is so much better.
I also started Girl Boss over the weekend, and I'm enjoying it a lot.
Listening To
S Town. Not going to lie, when I made the decision to listen to it, I was under the impression that it was basically a novel in podcast form. But then I saw that it was from Serial and This American Life, so I quickly figured out that it wasn't. (Also, check out their website! So cool.)
My wedding dress. Well, I'm actually altering it, and I can't show you pictures because it's a secret. 🙂
Counting Down To
The wedding! It's in just over a month.
Bonus: Outtake of the Month
Taken from this post's photo shoot.
Thanks for reading! And happy (almost) June!

24-120mm f4 and TC-14E ll ?

I'm not so sure about this. Most of the more modern glass seems to have higher amounts of chomatic abberations....
The coatings on both these top designs have been modernized as time has past just as other lenses are. Both have gone through several evolutions in coating.
Lenses designed originally for film often work as well or better in the digital age. Note Leica and Zeiss designs, some which have been in production for over 50 years and still some of the best disigns out there and unmodified for digital use.
I use some of this glass daily in professional use and they perform exceedingly well. Even some really old designs like the 55 f/3.5 micro....
That hasn't been my experience in the lens tests I've done. I've been using older heralded lenses with adapters on a couple m43 cameras, with adapters, and they are really disappointing compared to the latest Olympus and Panasonic glass.
Modern glass is computer designed with more aspherical elements and "nano" coating technology that wasn't available 20 years ago. These new lens designs don't scatter the different frequencies of light, like the old simple convex designs did, and the coatings cut down on internal reflections and increase light transmission, greatly improving contrast. The improved transmission efficiency also allows the use of more complex lenses with more lens elements and lens groups.
Yes, modern cameras can correct for chromatic aberrations, pincushion distortion and other things, but the real beauty of the lens technology coupled with the computer technology is they can now optimize the lens tradeoffs.
Take for example the latest Nikon 50mm F1.4 and F1.8G lenses. According to lens tests, these are the sharpest 50mm lenses Nikon has ever made.
I'm not saying the old lenses are cr_p. I'm just saying that they generally aren't as good as the modern choices.
Aspherical elements is an extremely old technology. It certainly is not a digital age design whatsoever. Moreover, it is not useful in many designs and is why you don't see it that much even on modern marvels. What is new about aspherical elements is today's ability to do it cheaper both cost wise and IQ wise. What I mean by that is some of these new cheaper ways of creating aspherical elements are cheaper to make but nowhere nearly as good. They use molded glass and plastic where aspherics used to be ground.
One of the greatest asperical designed lenses was the 20-35 f/2.8D AF superwide built at the time for film cameras. It's still considered a great lens. The aspherical element had to be hand ground and was somewhat expensive at the time. Aspherical design was really first invented by a French theorist, René Descartes, in the 1620s. That's quite a long time prior to digital cameras I think.
I'm not saying the old lenses are better than new. I'm just pointing out, if you know what you're looking for, some of the older lenses are superior to many of the newer ones, especially the 3rd party manufacturers like Sigma, Tamron and Tokina. Again, not all, but some especially the pro-grade Nikonauto focus models. Nano technology is a whole different story and the 3rd party makers don't have it either. Most Nikon lenses also don't have it.
As far as mounting lenses on m4/3rd, that might be an entirely different story. You're talking about less than a half frame sensor there. It's a much smaller format that needs an adaptor to get the registration distance accurate enough to mount the lens. I'm not sure anectdotal conclusions based on this kind of testing is indicative of optic performace using that gear.
On the other hand, I've been using Nikon glass since I switched from Pentax in 1968. I test all my gear before using it for client images. I currently use a D700, D3S and a D800. I can tell you some of the not very old pro-glass Nikkors perform brilliantly today mounted on these cameras.
Here's my pristine copy of a Nikon 35-70 f/2.8D AF mounted on a D700 as an example. Notice this is an all metal quality design with superb output.
Cheers, Craig

The BYU Cougars have won four in a row after beating San Francisco Thursday night; this comes after the Cougars dropped four in a row against Oregon, Utah, LMU and Pepperdine. Over the past four games the Cougars have scored over 80 points in each win and have won some games without Forward Eric Mika, and Tyler Haws and company have been getting hot just in time for a tough WCC schedule that will feature ranked Gonzaga twice and St. Mary's.
So what have the Cougars been doing differently lately to win? How have they managed to win without their dominant center Mika? Here are some reasons why the Cougars have made a quick rebound to try to save the season.
Matt Carlino Is More Efficient Off The Bench Than A Starter.
During BYU's losing streak we saw some of the worst playing from Matt Carlino as a Cougar. His play was erratic and ill-advised. He turned it over and never really passed around the ball to his teammates. We have often seen him take on the "hero" role and take on all the responsibility and try to win the game.
While Carlino struggled Skyler Halford rose up and helped the team get those much needed points. Halford at times seemed like the only player who seemed capable of scoring any points and kept a lot of the games in reach. He shot almost 60% from the field and 83% from the free throw while only turning it over twice in those four games. Because of this Halford has since taken the starting role from Carlino and saw a season high 31 minutes against San Francisco.
This has really given Carlino some time to think and calm down as a player. He has relished in as the sixth man. During the Cougars four game winning streak his shot percentage alone has almost double than that of their four game losing streak: He has shot 14-29 (48%) from the field compared to 13-52 (25%) during the previous losing streak, and his turnovers have decreased by 25%.
Something that people overlook is his ball handling skills, yes he does turn it over more than we would like to see but he is great in advancing the ball down the court in press situations. Something that the team would need late in the game when everyone else is in foul trouble.
It's uncertain if Carlino will remain on the bench and keep this role. Don't be surprised if we see him take his old job back soon and be in the starting 5.
Improved Free Throw Shooting and Three Point Shooting
Before the winning streak BYU was struggling at shooting free throws. They were going to the line on average 29.9 times a game; however, they would only convert 67% of the time. This is a horrible statistic when considering most of the team is a guard. Over the last four games, BYU has really improved their free throw percentage from 67% to 75%, and have found more opportunities to draw the fouls averaging 32.5 trips to the stripe.
When BYU lost to LMU and Pepperdine their three-point shooting was atrocious. They only made 4-21(19%) attempts. Since the start of the new streak BYU has improved and gone from that embarrassing 19% to a respectful 42% going 23-55.
Coach Rose claims that this has been the teams biggest improvement stating: "I mean, (the WCC is) the best three-point shooting league in the country, and you really have to respect that. I think our coaches have done a great job of adjusting to it, and hopefully we just keep getting better at it." (KSL)
Because the team is improving their free throw and three-point shooting the team now leads the WCC in efficiency at 117.2.
Kyle Collinsworth is the Cougars Unsung Hero
You can sit anywhere in the Marriott Center and hear people say "Come on Haws" or scream at Coach Rose to give the ball more to Mika. Most people forgot and often overlook the teams staple and hero of the team. It's not Haws, Mika or Carlino, Its Kyle Collinsworth. KC is third in scoring on the team behind Haws and Carlino, second in total rebounds, steals and blocks. He has always proven to be dependable and seems to never come out of the game, leading the team in total minutes by 75 minutes; more than two full games ahead of Haws at number two.
The Cougars have improved their game and efficiently over the past four games. Look for the Cougars to win five in a row against Santa Clara who is 10-10 on the season. You will be able to watch the game on ROOT Sports.
Hopefully we will see some more sweet dunks like this from Tyler Haws!

Ecommerce in Pakistan has been continuously growing over the last few years and shows a promising growth. With the 190 population in Pakistan, ecommerce players have a big opportunity to create billion dollar businesses. In India, Flipkart and Amazon raised 1B+ dollar investments for their expansions.
Since Pakistan is an emerging country in terms of Digital advertisement and digital customer adoption, higher management should focus on building digital capabilities to catch up with the competition. Whoever is able to move faster with the technology can move ahead of the competition.
Since higher management has dealt with marketing for decades, their mindset should be adjusted according the technology advancement in digital marketing. But most of the time, we see higher management trying to mimic offline advertisement in digital marketing. They are especially falling in love with social shares and social likes. Since Pakistan is an emerging country and most customers are new to ecommerce, the success of a business can be defined in an equation as follows:
Business Growth = Adoption + Retentions
It is quite challenging to drive adoption from people who never experienced an online transaction, so you should have a strategic campaign to convert new users. Most of the time, it is difficult to acquire a customer profitably using digital time, unless it is a high-value product. As a solution for that, higher management should keep eye on the retention, and if you have a good business plan to retain the customer, then you can absorb the higher acquisition cost.
RealLife Fact: If you search for a hotel, Agoda will appear in the search result as a paid ad. Agoda is spending a lot of money acquiring new customers, because they know that if they can acquire a customer, they can retain him for a long time. In this case, individual hotels are struggling to compete with Agoda because of their strong retention.
If you need to win, become an Agoda for ecommerce. Kayamu is slowly moving towards that, as they have global expertise.
To achieve business growth in ecommerce, you need to have a wise campaign plan and a website that converts visitors to customers. Today, the object is to discuss common mistakes on the Pakistani E-commerce websites. These mistakes could occur due to lack of optimization expertise, usage of readymade templates, or the highest paid person's opinion (Hippo). Let's discuss two common mistakes out of 100s:
- Automatic image sliders or carousels
- All caps in navigation
Automatic image sliders or carousels
Hippos and creative directors are attached to sliders or carousels, so you can see most of the Pakistani ecommerce websites have a slider. All the ecommerce templates support sliders, so they can just switch it on.
A slider or carousal can take the visitor's attention quickly and load into their working memory. Because of this, visitors may forget the initial intention and leave the website, without taking an action. Also, providing more choices to the visitor can create paradox of choices. Paradox of choice shows people leave the website if they are overloaded with choices.
All caps in navigation
Many ecommerce websites in Pakistan use all caps in their websites. Probably, all the templates come with capital letters in the navigation. Visitors tend see words in the navigation as boxes if the navigation uses all caps. Also, words in all caps increases the cognitive load of a reader. According to research conducted by Breland, text in all capital letters reduces reading speed by up to 20%. Poulton suggests, in his research, reading speed is optimal when uppercase and lowercase letters are used.
If you are using a template or a website without testing, these two suggestions can give you a way to start with website optimization. Whenever you have doubt about the suggestions, simply conduct a test to see the real result.
