Many extreme couponers use coupon clipping services to increase their chances of saving more money. The clipping services are a third party between you and the manufacturer that created the Online Coupon. While you can get these coupons for free, the clipping services charge a fee for the convenience of making coupons available to you. The average fee per coupon is $0.2 to $0.50.
If you plan to print coupons from online sites like other extreme couponers, keep in mind that you'll need to spring for extra printer ink for this as well. Some people even have more than one printer to handle all of their printed CBD Oil Online Discounts Fremont.
Buying on Impulse
Stores arrange the items on each aisle in a certain way in order to make it tempting for you to buy items that you may or may not need. Stores and manufacturers make more money when they put up a "special sale" tag on an item. CBD Oil Online Discounts Fremont They cleverly know how to lure you into making an impulse buy.
It's common to see products advertised as being a fantastic bargain if you buy 2, 4 or 10 at a time. Extreme couponers especially love these types of deals. They often fill their carts with these multiple deal items and are totally stoked at the steal they are getting.
Except that the actual products may not be the healthiest choices for you or your family. They may also be something you just don't really need. It's easy to get swept up by the extreme savings so much that you end up spending money on stuff you ordinarily wouldn't buy.

Coupons are a great resource for saving money. Think of coupons as "free money". Would you walk by a dollar on the ground without picking it up? So why would anyone pass up "free money" in the form of coupons? The great thing about this method of saving money is that it is very easy and requires no special skills to get started. Items required for coupon clipping are a pair of scissors and the desired coupons. So, gather your tools and start clipping!
Generally, it is also a good idea to have some method of organizing your coupons. You can purchase a coupon organizer (typically found at craft and department stores) or create your own method of organizing your "free money". Once you have clipped your desired coupons, place them in a coupon organizer or place them in labeled envelopes. Titles for your envelopes can include: Today's coupons, Beverages, Snacks, Health, Beauty, Frozen foods, Cleaning supplies, Cereal, Entertainment, Dining, Dessert, Pets, Soups/Sauces, Condiments and Dairy. So where can you find these valuable items? They are all around you. If you like a particular brand or manufacturer, a visit to their website may also reveal coupons. Websites such are great sources. Typically, you have to provide an email address or sign up for a newsletter in order to receive the coupon. Sometimes, manufacturers will even offer free samples.
Tip: Did you know you can use more than one coupon on the same item? Use a manufacturer's coupon in conjunction with a store coupon for even more savings.
Besides manufacturer websites, some of the biggest sources of coupons include SmartSource & Redplum. These companies provide coupon inserts that can be found in your local Sunday paper, making it well worth your purchase. However, if you don't usually buy the Sunday paper don't fret! Some neighborhoods provide residents with free (well you paid for it with your county tax) local county or city papers and some editions are chocked-full of coupons.
Companies deliver deals right to your mailbox. Examples of offers include deals on automotive care, household maintenance, local drug stores and pizza parlors. Look out for special sales and promotions as well! If you live nearby two or more different grocery stores or retailers you may become the unexpected beneficiary of a "price war" in your neighborhood. Over the course of one month, my family saved $50.00 on our grocery bill as a result of a "price war". We were knowledgeable about the coupons because we had checked our "junk mail". So instead of tossing out those papers that gather at your front door and in your mail box, sort through it... you may be throwing away your "free money".
Tip: Look out for merchants that double and sometimes even triple your coupons' value.
Yet another source of coupons is the Entertainment Book. There is a book for most major cities. Although I typically I do not believe in paying money to save money, this book is a great value. These books can start anywhere from $25.00 -$50.00 or more. Do not let the price be a deterrent. Often times the Entertainment book website offers discounts off the regular price and may even offer free shipping. In addition, waiting to purchase this book 3-4 months into the year can be well worth it. The further into the year it is, the more discounted the book typically becomes. I encourage you to visit the book's website to get a preview of some of the discounts available in your area. Discounts include restaurants, movies, dry-cleaning, grocery stores and even amusement parks! I have found that the book often pays for itself after one or two uses. My primary piece of advice however, is to never pay full price for the book. Magazines are also a source of "coupon goodness". Who would have thought your magazine subscription would offer more than just relationship advice and celebrity gossip? If you order magazines or casually pick up one at your favorite store, count on saving money by clipping coupons; but don't buy magazines just for coupons. If you read them anyway, magazines are a great source of "free money".
I love a good bargain, so I never overlook store sale papers. I know that some shoppers may consider sale papers as mere distractions to the ultimate goal. But, please trust me on this. You simply have to grab the sale paper at the entrance of the store. You might feel ridiculous if you later realize that you could have saved 10% on a recent shopping trip because there was a coupon or special in the store circular. Some department stores even offer shoppers gift cards for purchasing certain items or for using their pharmacy to fill a prescription. The only way to be aware of these specials is to read the store circular or sale paper. When using your "free money" there are some important points to remember. Be sure to check the expiration dates on your coupons. One exception is the bedding and household apparel store, Bed Bath and Beyond. It does not matter how old the store coupon is, this retailer will accept it.
You may use as many store coupons as you have items to purchase (one per item). As with any coupon, always be sure to look for restrictions and specifications. Most importantly, only clip coupons for items that you already use. Buying an item solely because you have a coupon will cost you more money in the long run.
Tip: For extra savings, match your coupons with store sales for rock bottom prices!

Families Saving Money
For most families saving money is becoming a major priority. As the past few years have shown how volatile the economy can be, and how fragile our employment can be, many families have re-learned the lost art of saving money. Nowadays there are more ways to save money than ever before. Advancements in technology and the availability of smart phones and internet connections have opened a whole new world of retailer and consumer interaction. This advancement has provided for a great new trend in printable coupons. A family that is looking for discounts can do save money by doing a simple search on the internet or their smart phones and find countless options for printable coupons. These savings opportunities are provided by retailers big and small and available all over the country.
Using Printable Coupons
Saving money with printable coupons is simple. If you are able to use the internet, then you can be a money saving fiend! Using your smart phone from anywhere or your computer from home you can find some great deals. One of the best benefits of printable coupons is that businesses of all sizes can take advantage and offer these great deals. With traditional coupons only large businesses could afford to advertise through coupons because of the large fees associated with advertising in newspapers or magazines, but now that retailers can host their own coupons on their website this expands the savings opportunities that are available.
One of the most effective ways to save money is with the new trend of websites that offer daily specials. These websites offer one deal for a day and change the promotion every 24 hours. Often times these promotions offer printable coupons that provide over 50% off. These deals are a great way for retailers to attract new customers and they are a spectacular way for you to save a lot of cash.
When most people think of coupons they are likely to think of the little slips of paper that come in the Sunday paper. While these coupons can still offer considerable savings, they are often limited to groceries and require a lot of work to search through the coupons to find specials that apply to you. Printable coupons bring in a whole new era of coupon use. These coupons don't require that you search through piles of coupons to find ones apply because you will be searching specifically for coupons that match what you want! This will save you additional money as you won't fall prey and use a coupon to 'save money' on a product you originally had no intention of purchasing.

An inmate inadvertently released from the Jeffco jail on Tuesday is back behind bars.
Damon Elliot Slayton, 41, was taken into custody Thursday morning by a Jeffco deputy in downtown Denver near Broadway and Larimer Street.
Jeffco sheriff's spokeswoman Jacki Kelley said the Sheriff's Office and other law enforcement agencies had been searching the downtown area based on tips from Slayton's family and other friends.
Slayton surrendered without incident, Kelley said.
Slayton was being detained at the jail for a parole violation when "human error" led to his release Tuesday morning. Original charges against Slayton included theft, robbery and burglary.
The file on Slayton had two different dates of release, Kelley said, and the staff member reading the files didn't follow the proper protocol.
"There are processes in place to verify conflicting information, and it was not verified," Kelley said.
The Sheriff's Office has instituted new procedures to verify such information, including having more staffers verify it, Kelley said.
Kelley said Slayton had been due to be released in the next few months. She said the sheriff's internal affairs unit is still investigating his inadvertent release.

EA is planning to roll out persistent player profiles that keep your data in the cloud, starting with its EA Sports division. Joystiq reports that EA Sports president and tattoo enthusiast Peter Moore shared the plan last night at the MI6 conference.
"Today we're looking at a seamless experience across all our franchises," he said. "Regardless of where you are, what platform you have, what game you're playing, that you're constantly connected. It's no longer 'buy Madden 11 and then buy Madden 12 and start from scratch,' it is 'take everything that you've done and migrate it and move it along.'"
We've seen similar moves in which data from previous saves impacts a new game, but Moore talks about this being platform-agnostic, which means EA would keep your data stored on its own servers. So if you bought one Madden on PlayStation 3 and another on Xbox 360, the game could still recognize your progress. He says EA wants to "recognize users and reward them for playing multiple games."
Moore didn't mention specific titles, but he did hint that this plan goes for all EA games in the long-term. "It's not far away," he said. "This is how we envision the future of our industry and this is how we at EA Sports individualize and personalize this as the future of our brand and ultimately the future of what Electronic Arts as a whole is going to do across all of its titles.

Two days ago I updated Secret Passages. Since then it will not load on my IPod.
Two days ago I updated Secret Passages. Since then it will not load on my IPod.
same problem, unfortunately I upgraded before I saw the message saying not to do so. however I managed to keep playing and opened another 2 new areas, then yesterday afternoon game stopped loading, I cannot get support information, only from an older game on another device. I have seen the post about not deleting game otherwise I will loose progress, and I am too far into the game to want to start from the beginning again, any suggestions as to how I can get game back will be appreciated.
Same here. I updated it to version 1.16 and got the same loading problem. I deleted the app and lost all progress, reinstalled it twice but the loading problem was still unresolved. Submitted a ticket and PG said they are trying to resolve it 'within the next few upcoming updates'.
PG released Update 1.17 yesterday and I updated the app but the loading problem 'Cannot connect to server. You must have access to internet to play' still appears. Deleted the app and reinstalled it again but still nothing. I tried killing the app and then opening it again, still nothing. So frustrating. It's been three weeks.
How can you upgrade this game? Can you please explain me step by step, as I cannot seem to get into Epoch Grove
It's probably best to post in the Secret Passages forum...things can go unnoticed here for some reason. I would suggest posting your question in the Random thread there...this link relates to EG...I'm certain you will receive help from those that are more familiar with that region than I...
Good luck!

A million years ago.
Memories can never take you back, home, sweet home.
You can never go home anymore."

intercultural communication is a matter of highest importance
if humankind and society are to survive."
-- Larry Samovar, Richard Porter, & Edwin McDaniel,
Intercultural Communication
a new quarter, and Stanford students in the PWR 2 class, "Cross-Cultural
Rhetoric" are getting to know one another. But in this
class, their peers are not only those sharing a Wallenberg classroom.
Instead, their peers and colleagues for the next ten weeks are
students located 5,300 miles away, across a time difference of
nine hours, in the small town of Örebro, Sweden. For their
first shared class together, students were placed into globally-distributed
teams, with plasma screens as portals to the world.
We asked them
to share rhetorical artifacts illuminating their cultural identity
– such as the small pink stuffed animal from Ikea called
"Velcro" that Stanford student Natalie Knutsen holds
up to the webcam to show her peers in Örebro. Then we gave
them the following challenge: develop one collaborative group
identity for yourselves as a cross-cultural team and come
up with a name that you will use for the rest of the quarter.
Our pedagogical goal was to contribute new learning to the field
of intercultural theory and pedagogy by asking students to form
and work in globally-distributed teams. We hoped
to eradicate the boundaries that separated these students even
as they learned to develop intercultural competencies and a diverse
world view. No "us versus them" mentality desired
The teams
impressed us with their creativity and word-smithing. One group
based itself on the Swedish Ikea animal owned by an American student
and named itself "Velcro"; another took a name to
indicate American ignorance about Sweden by naming itself after
the famous Swedish astronaut "Fugelsang," while a
third composed a hybrid title to indicate a shared love of music,
calling itself "Muzikahölics." A fourth group
created a collaborative identity based on person's embodied
rhetoric, a green hat, and so they became known as the "Green
Hat" Group. They wore their real or simulated hats to every
subsequent session.
Funded Innovations in Teaching with Technology
This is the second quarter of the Cross-Cultural Rhetoric Project,
a grant funded initiative made possible by the Wallenberg
Global Learning Network (WGLN). The project builds on a solid
theoretical foundation of scholarship in intercultural communication,
rhetoric, and pedagogy and technology to offer students the rare
and valuable opportunity for active learning of cross-cultural
writing, research, rhetorical analysis, and presentation skills.
Read more about the theoretical foundation
With the New Year came new experiments in using technology to
connect students across the globe. This time, Alyssa O'Brien
and Christine Alfano co-taught the PWR 2 course in "Cross-Cultural
Rhetoric," and the project benefited tremendously from Christine's
expertise in technology and web design, as students in the Winter
could consult the course website to learn the cross-cultural activities
planned for the quarter (http://www.stanford.edu/group/ccr/w07/),
and they learned to write on both blogs and a class wiki.

Many scams are already circulating regarding rebates, refunds, tax law changes and that dreaded of all dreads…audits.
If you receive an unsolicited call or email from someone claiming to be with the IRS red flags should go up. With almost every newscast including at least one story about the economy and how President Obama plans to stimulate the economy it is more important then ever that everyone is aware of these scams.
Rebate Call – "You are entitled to a sizeable rebate for filing your taxes early," to process they require your bank account information for the direct deposit. If you refuse to supply this information then you will not receive the rebate.
Refund – Good News; you are entitled to a "refund" at least this is what the email claims. You are instructed to click on the link to access the refund claim form. The form asks for your personal information for the con-artist to use as they please.
Changes to the Tax Law – This email alerts you of changes in the tax law with a focus on deductions and tax savings. When you click on the link you download a malware; malware is codes that can take over a computer hard drive, giving someone remote access to the computer, or it could look for passwords and other information to send to the con-artist. These are just two examples of what malware is and can do.
Paper Check – "Your refund check has not been cashed," says the caller. They need your bank account information to send you your refund. In reality the IRS leaves it up to you if you cash your check or not.
Audit – This email will get everyone's attention and the scammers know it. The email directs you to click on the link to fill out the forms with personal and account information; which they use to steal your identity.
There are a few things to remember to keep from falling for one of these scams:
THE IRS DOES NOT send unsolicited emails about tax account matters
The IRS uses the information on your tax return to process your refund
Filing a tax return is the only way to apply for a tax refund
To track your refund go to www.irs.gov and click on "Where's My Refund?
Anyone wishing to access the IRS website should initiate the contact by typing in www.irs.gov and not clicking on a link.
If you receive a suspicious email or phone call the IRS would like you to report this by contacting them at email@example.com so they may track these scams.

GREEN BAY—The Packers drafted two defensive linemen last year, but the one they got Thursday night is a different kind of player.
UCLA's Datone Jones is taller, longer and leaner than either Jerel Worthy or Mike Daniels, whom the Packers selected in the second and fourth rounds last year, respectively.
The Packers took Jones with the 26th pick of the first round of this year's NFL draft, and the 6-4, 285-pound end fortifies a position viewed as the team's biggest need, considering Ryan Pickett's age and Worthy's late-season knee injury last year.
For the defensive line, the Packers had their choice of North Carolina's Sylvester Williams or Jones at 26, and General Manager Ted Thompson said some offers to trade back had been floated around.
In the end, Jones' combination of size and speed was too good to pass up at a position in need of every-down, impact players.
"To add a little more speed to the defense we think is a good idea," Thompson said, a reference to the challenges in defending new-age quarterbacks like San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick, Washington's Robert Griffin III and Seattle's Russell Wilson, all of whom have made their teams top contenders in the NFC.
"When it got to be our pick, we were pretty committed. We were a little surprised the opportunity was there to still take him."
Both Thompson and Defensive Coordinator Dom Capers spoke of Jones playing in both the base defense and sub packages. In Capers' scheme, that means lining up to set the edge against the run in the base and moving inside to rush the passer in nickel and dime.
"Datone is a very versatile player. He played all up and down the line of scrimmage at UCLA," Thompson said. "He really flourished in Coach (Jim) Mora's new system out there."
Jones' best season was last year, when Mora took over as the Bruins' head coach. He set all career highs with 6 ½ sacks among 19 tackles for loss in 2012.
Jones credited Mora with bringing an NFL mentality to the team.
"He was showing how we should approach the game, how we should study as pros," Jones said. "I thought we became grown men."
Jones took that mentality with him to the Senior Bowl in January, where he shined and his draft stock began to climb. He felt that's when he "showed the world" the player he could be.
That big week continued a steady progression for Jones from when he arrived at UCLA in 2008 weighing less than 240 pounds. He added roughly 30 pounds by his sophomore season in 2009 but then missed all of 2010 with a broken foot he sustained early in fall camp.
Jones said he "cried for three weeks" over losing a season, but with a medical redshirt he came back to play two more years, starting all 28 games for UCLA in 2011-12.
At 285 pounds, Jones isn't as heavy as the prototypical 3-4 end, but he has the height and is a couple of inches taller than Worthy and Daniels. Capers noted his frame can comfortably add some weight, and his college history would indicate that's true.
By all accounts, Jones has the character and work ethic that's hard not to like, and he simply loves the game. Invoking memories of the late Reggie White, whom he talked about watching while growing up, Jones said he only plays the game "one way."
"The only thing he knew was to beat the guy across from him," Jones said. "Reggie White played one way, with maniacal effort and complete hunger. No matter who he lined up against, he wanted to dominate, and that's the type of player I want to carry myself after."
In the current NFL, Jones has mentioned Houston's J.J. Watt as the type of all-around impact player he believes he can be. That's more unbridled enthusiasm than bravado, but Jones isn't about to sell himself short, either.
"Most definitely. Why not me?" he said. "I'll put the work in and anything is possible."

I've been working since my son was born; I'm also the primary earner in my marriage.
My son, now five, is thriving. I'm not.
I still filter everything through the lens of my shortcomings, the tally of meals missed and other failures.
But he's not. He's a happy, independent little guy.
Last month, my son was on a class trip at Carnegie Hall. It happened that I had a TV shoot a few blocks away. When I was free, I raced over. He was thrilled to see me.
But after I hugged him and chatted with him a bit, he wanted to get back to his friends. "Bye, Mama," my son said cheerfully.
He does miss me—but that doesn't mean he feels he's missing something.
Then why do I? I try to assume the stance of many executive men—men who seem to enjoy a guilt-free pass when it comes to their kids. The guys I know don't appear to suffer from the belief that if they were around more their kids would be healthier, happier, eat fewer pesticides and eventually attend superior colleges.
But I'll never have that guilt-free pass—and maybe I don't want it. My yearning to be a better mom reminds me to be more involved and engaged when I'm with him.
And when I'm not, I'm doing a damn good job at what I do. That may not spell inner peace. But it's close enough.
Come clean. How do you handle working-mom guilt?

RICHMOND, Ky. (WKYT) - The battle over evidence in the case of a deadly love triangle in Madison County headed back to court Thursday.
The case involves Jason Singleton and his ex-girlfriend Christina Marcum who are accused of killing Singleton's wife. Angela Frazier-Singleton's dismembered body was found near the Kentucky River in January 2011.
Marcum's lawyer is asking for his client's statements to police be thrown out because her legal representation was not present during her statements.
Three recorded statements given by Marcum are potentially on the chopping block. WKYT's Sean Evans reports no definitive decision was made by the judge Thursday.
Kentucky State Police detective Brian Reeder took the stand Thursday to give testimony regarding the interviews with Marcum.
In court, attorneys pointed out that Marcum requested an attorney's presence numerous times in the two-and-a-half interview. But the detective testified that Marcum was in no way held against her will and even accepted and placed phone calls during the course of the interview.
Singleton's lawyer have asked the judge for two separate trials arguing Marcum made incriminating statements about his client and he would not be able to receive a fair trial unless the cases were split.
The case is scheduled to go to trial on March 11.

In an editorial published nine years ago, we expressed hope that Gwen MacKenzie was the right person, with the right skills, selected at the right time, to lead Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
Our hopes -- along with those of the hospital's governing board, health-care providers, patients, taxpayers and other financial supporters -- were quickly realized and consistently fulfilled.
For nine years as chief executive of Sarasota Memorial Health Care System, MacKenzie demonstrated grace under fire, displayed the caring soul of a nurse (she worked in oncology before reshaping her career) and exhibited a sharp mind on the economic side (she has a master's degree in business administration).
MacKenzie became integrated in the community -- in diverse, meaningful ways -- and built a strong management team. She remained circumspect in public, but learned to manage the difficult task of being a public figure working for a nine-member board elected by the public, at a hospital owned by the public and supported by local taxes, in a state with strict public-records laws.
A special institution
On Wednesday, MacKenzie announced that she will soon leave Sarasota to assume a new job, with even greater responsibilities, in her home state of Michigan. She will be difficult to replace, but we are optimistic that several key factors will draw the applications of well-qualified candidates.
Most important is the fact that Sarasota Memorial is unique. It is a financially sound hospital, with a network of successful ancillary facilities, that not only serves as a "safety net" but attracts patients who can afford to receive their care elsewhere. The hospital and its clinics are well equipped and attract high-caliber physicians and staff.
What's more, although Sarasota Memorial has its critics, the hospital is held in high regard -- almost revered as an institution -- in most sectors of the community. The Hospital Board levies a modest tax rate with little public opposition, the hospital's foundation garners substantial private financial support and, unlike the case in many communities, there is broad-based support for the hospital's mission to provide care to indigent and low-income patients.
During the past nine years, the hospital's main campus has undergone needed capital improvements for the benefit of patients and their families, while the staff maintained a focus on bedside care. Despite a recession and challenges facing all hospitals, Sarasota Memorial is fiscally sound.
In April 2005, we wrote: "Fortunately for MacKenzie and the people of this region, her immediate challenge is not to save a failing hospital or remake an institution. Rather, the tasks she faces are to build upon the strong efforts to continually improve the hospital's service, balance its charitable obligations with fiscal responsibility, maintain the quality of care and eliminate medical errors, build partnerships with other health-care providers and, perhaps most important, maintain public support for the hospital and its mission."
Those same challenges and tasks will face David Verinder, the chief operating officer who was appointed interim CEO this week by the Hospital Board, and the permanent replacement.
Inheriting an opportunity
That's not to say the CEO's job description is static. Changes in reimbursements, new practices in medicine and the need to effectively harness information technology will challenge the hospital administration -- along with unanticipated developments.
MacKenzie encountered both a challenge and inherited an opportunity when she followed Dr. Duncan Finlay as CEO. Finlay, a longtime practicing physician, was popular and gave the hospital five good years of leadership -- focusing on health care and service to patients, and repairing relationships with doctors and staff.
The next chief executive will face similar circumstances, replacing another respected leader and effective administrator with extensive experience caring for patients in a unique setting.
Succeeding MacKenzie will not be easy, but maintaining Sarasota Memorial's success will be easier because of her legacy.
Gwen MacKenzie's legacy
In an editorial published nine years ago, we expressed hope that Gwen MacKenzie was the right person, with the right skills, selected at the right time, to lead Sarasota Memorial Hospital.

Boyoboy, they must be exhausted from all that work!
I mean, come on, they had to take oaths, and confirm President Obama's victory, and announce unfinished business, and motion to adjourn, and everything! Oh, and let's not overlook how they began to extend a helping hand to a few zillion people who were devastated by Hurricane Sandy a few months ago. Finally.
Whew! That's nearly two days of stuff they had to do. No wonder they need a rest.
Yesterday they swore in new House members and finalized John Boehner's orange-skin-of-his-teeth re-election as Speaker. A few representatives brought along their children to witness the events, and the L.A. Times wrote about it here. As I read about it in my morning paper, this sentence stood out like a sore thumbing of the nose:
Newly elected Rep. Tony Cardenas (D-Panorama City) said his 14-year-old daughter leaned over and said the whole event reminded her of high school.
Obvious insult to high school students aside, Teen Cardenas displayed more intelligence and insight in that one observation than the House has exhibited in years.

Published 5 August 2011
Première at the Göteborg Opera on 20 August at 6.00 pm.
The powerful chief of the Huns, Attila, and the vindictive Odabella stand centre-stage when the Göteborg Opera introduces its new season of opera.
In a concertante version of the Verdi opera Attila we will hear the Göteborg Opera's bass soloist Anders Lorentzson in the title role. His most recent portrayal was as Raimondo in the Göteborg Opera's acclaimed production of Lucia di Lammermoor and prior to that the powerful King Filip II in the equally acclaimed production of Don Carlos. In the role of Odabella, Italian soprano Francesca Patanè is making her return after gaining great acclaim in the role of Lady Macbeth in the Göteborg Opera's Macbeth in 2008.
Attila was a great success when it originally premièred in 1846 and is now experiencing a renaissance at opera houses around the world. This Bel Canto opera is conducted by the Göteborg Opera's own specialist in the genre – First Guest Conductor Giancarlo Andretta. Attila is also being performed on Sunday 21 August at 6.00 pm.
For review tickets for the première, contact Anita Manskog at firstname.lastname@example.com or on +46 (0)31 10 80 34. The performance will last approximately 2 hours, including an intermission.
For interviews, contact the undersigned.

Coul House Hotel
Welcome to Coul House Hotel...
Coul House is owned and operated by my wife and I, it is a beautiful country house secluded in the hills above Contin, Ross-shire. Centrally located in the Northern Highlands of Scotland, it is the perfect place to base oneself to rediscover all the romance and beauty of the area – certainly a destination where one should plan on staying for more than just a couple of nights!
The small village of Contin sits on the banks of the river Blackwater and is a fantastic spot for nature lovers with attractions including the Achilty forest with miles of bike and walking trails, Rogie waterfalls with salmon leaping throughout the summer, secluded lochs and abundant wildlife. Contin is just 17 miles north west of Inverness with the A835 the main road to Ullapool and the northern route to the Isle of Skye, Torridon and Applecross running through the heart of the village.
Susannah and I have been here since June 2003. As owners we are very proud of Coul House, not only as the custodians of its architectural beauty, but for the great feedback we receive from our guests about the relaxing atmosphere, beautiful food and our staff's natural passion for hospitality.
I trust you will enjoy our Facebook page and we will get a chance to welcome you soon to Coul House.

Now, as we all know, it's pretty much impossible to predict how the season will play out due to potential (future) injuries, football being a game of inches, teams improving/declining each and every offseason/season etc, etc. That's what this thread is for, to discuss the improvements made (or lack thereof) in regards to our upcoming schedule.
Now, in regards to the AFC East, we all know about the Patriots and the Bills (defense) seems to be much improved. The key for us making the playoffs (or possibly competing for the AFC East) is to hold our own inside of our division. A 5-1 AFC East record would be idea. Can we split with NE? Who knows, but hopefully we can sweep both Miami and Buffalo. If we get swept by NE again, just my honest opinion, we're not winning the division. Which is why I mention 5-1. The ability to split with NE is there, and if we can't sweep Buffalo and Miami, we don't deserve the division to begin with.
Week 2: @ Pittsburgh: 12-4
Week 4: vs 49ers: 13-3
Week 5: vs Texans: 10-6
Week 6: vs Colts: 2-14
Week 10: @ Seattle: 7-9
Week 11: @ St.Louis: 2-14
Week 13: vs Cardinals: 8-8
Week 14: @ Jacksonville: 5-11
Week 15: @ Titans: 9-7
Week 16: vs Chargers: 8-8
This, on paper, looks to be a favorable schedule for the Jets. The potentially very difficult teams, that instantly stand out, would have to be the Steelers, 49ers, Texans and Chargers. Outside of the Steelers, all 3 of the 49ers, Texans and Charger games are home games. I wouldn't like the idea of being the complete opposite. For example, the 49ers (west coast), Texans and Chargers (West Coast). Outside of the AFC East, once we get past the Texans of week 5, suddenly, this schedule doesn't seem so brutal.
My question is this, of the Non-AFC East opponents, which of these teams would you say has had the strongest offseasons, and why? Which teams would you say has taken a step back? And which of these teams (heading into the season) would you say seem to be about the same as last season?

Never said anything about the Patriots improving. Maybe I should have worded it differently, is what I means was A.) We all know about the Patriots as a team (What they've done in years past) and B.) The improvements to the Bills, specifically on the defensive side of the ball (Williams and Anderson come to mind). I haven't seen much improvements in regards to the Patriots, other than Lloyd on the offensive side of the ball. On defense, is what I do know is that NE lost two of their top pass rushers. Anderson and Carter combined for 50% of NE's sacks last season. 40 team sacks, Anderson and Carter did combine for 20.
Forward: San Francisco. Kept all 11 starters on the best defense in football and added speed to their only position of weakness for what they like to do, wide receiver. Honorable mention: Arizona.
Backward: Houston. Schaub coming back from a foot injury and they cut/let go of three offensive lineman (C,RG,RT). Have fun with that, Scaub and Arian the Vegan.
Same: Jacksonville. As long as Blaine Gabbert is there, that offense will do nothing through the air.

Fanene has over 6 sacks a year (2009 & 2011) on the Bungles D. Anderson and Carter revived their careers in New England last season.
Given the addition of some size and speed on the defense with Jones and Hightower along with a healthy McCourty and Dowling, who can say the sack totals won't stay status quo or be even better?
There's even a sleeper with the 3rd rounder Jake Bequette out of Arkansas.
written by a Jet fan----->(http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...l-of-the-draft)
Just another viewpoint that could be considered.
On a side note, this thread wasn't created to discuss the Patriots. We have 50 other threads for that. It's about our schedule outside of the AFC East, as you can see with the thread title. If the likes of you and FF2 choose to feel the need to speak about the Patriots, during each and every post of each and every thread? Enjoy your time on a New England Patriots message board.

The key for the Jets winning the division isn't beating Tom Brady, it's winning all of the games they shouldn't lose. The Pats do, the Jets don't do often enough. The Jets will have to win a minimum of 11 games to even think about winning the division.
Last edited by ASG0531; 07-14-2012 at 03:35 PM.
I usually only post on threads/subjects that have to do with the Patriots. They are AFC East rivals, and to boot, DWC mentioned they hadn't done anything to improve their D (despite drafting mainly defense and signing defensive FA's).
Dowling looked promising until his injury. McCourty has shown he can be an effective CB. I tend to think the next to last ranked defense will improve over last year's miserable performance (mid pack in points allowed).
Opposing OPINIONS tend to upset DWC.
What is the hamper?
Last edited by Spectre; 07-14-2012 at 04:41 PM. Reason: hamper?
Why do you even waste your and everyone else's time with your bs prediction. You're terrible at it. Don't even come close. Remember prediction in 2010 how in '11 Brady is done, Welker may not even play for the season, and the best the Pats could expect to do was 9-7 and lose the division to the up and coming Jets?
LMFAO Statz...Read it and weep.....
Seriously dude, you no zero about the game of football.

On a recent day off from work, I accidentally walked 12 miles.
You read that right: 12 miles. Accidentally.
I had some errands to run; when I returned home, the weather was gorgeous and I couldn't resist taking some laps around the neighborhood. Bam! Twelve miles. The weird thing was that it felt almost effortless. I felt energized, not exhausted.
It's a far cry from where I started the Fittest Loser journey a little more than three months ago.
I had barely started my first workout at Push Fitness before I started trying to think of a completely valid excuse to never do another one.
I couldn't go very fast on the treadmill or do any push-ups or sit-ups, plus I was out of breath and man, did my knees hurt. There's no way I can do this for 12 weeks, I thought to myself. Who was I kidding, trying to follow along with the contestants? I was 44 years old, weighed 249 pounds and not all that far removed from my pack-a-day smoking habit. I spent my days off sleeping as much as possible and catching up on TV -- not walking 12 miles or doing anything else active.
Plus, I was pretty sure I couldn't survive three hours -- let alone (gasp!) three months -- without eating pasta, pizza and grilled cheese.
But while I completely doubted my ability to get through this program, my trainer -- Push Fitness owner Joshua Steckler -- apparently didn't doubt me a bit.
"You're going to walk out of here feeling defeated and torn down," Josh told me that first day. "Don't let yourself get discouraged. You have to use that as fuel and work harder."
I wasn't convinced, but if this guy who had known me for all of about an hour believed in me, maybe I could do this.
Well, a little more than three months later, I can now tell you that Josh was right. Not only did I survive the program -- including the 7 a.m. boot camps every Saturday -- I also lost 45 pounds, can do sit-ups and push-ups and learned a whole new way of eating that has virtually eliminated my lifelong stomach problems.
It wasn't easy. I stumbled a few times along the way. Sometimes, I literally stumbled. I'm pretty clumsy, especially when it comes to anything remotely athletic. More often than not, though, it was a metaphorical stumble. I occasionally skipped cardio workouts. I sometimes ate things I shouldn't have or I ate too much.
What I didn't do, though, was quit. Because while the most important lesson I learned was "Yes! I can do this!" -- the other important take-away was that you can't fail in the pursuit of a healthier lifestyle unless you quit trying.
And now, a couple of weeks out from the end of the Fittest Loser, I still haven't quit. I still exercise daily and keep track of what I eat. I'm still stumbling a little here and there, but I just keep going.
I know I'll never be a great athlete, and that's perfectly OK -- it was never my goal. My main motivation for doing this was to be healthier, and I'm already well on my way.

TWO Port Macquarie basketballers came together as enemies on Saturday for the Pacific Coast Slam final.
Jacob Foy and John Minihan faced off against each other as Minihan's NSW Waratahs took on NSW Kookaburras, and beat them 50-64 in the decider.
The Waratahs got off to a great start, and found themselves up by 10 points at the end of the first quarter.
Minihan's father John said the guards, Kyle Zunic and Connor Arthur, co-ordinated the team well.
Foy's talent came to the fore in the second quarter. He and Joel Rauch came out determined and the Waratahs' lead quickly evaporated.
But the Waratahs hit back in the third and fourth, and got the win in a tight finish.
Minihan senior said the match was played in great spirit.
"All the boys in both teams were mates all week, and this showed in the game and afterwards," he said.
Minihan and Foy came together a couple of times in the match, and Minihan said he struggled to get past his good mate.
"He's a really good defender," the guard said.
Minihan said Foy was also a tough competitor.
"I struggled a little bit [against him]," he said.
Foy said he enjoyed playing against Minihan, and he enjoyed the whole
"I had lots of fun, it was good," he said. "We train together, so it was good to play against each other."
Foy said he was happy with his form throughout the week.
"I've been training a fair bit," he said.
Minihan and Foy are coached by Foy's father Anthony.
Minihan said he was the reason he'd gotten to where he was in the sport.
"He's been really good to me," Minihan said of the senior Foy.
In the other finals, NSW Kookaburras beat NSW Waratahs 59-48 in the under-15 girls, while the Waratahs went down to the Brisbane Capitals 57-50 in the under-17 girls.
The NSW Waratahs beat New Zealand Rimu 77-43 in the under-17 boys decider.

After all, software is licensed not bought. When a computer gets lost, they still have the license, right? It's not like they have repurchase the same software for the replacement computers.

If the government uses generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) like almost any other organization in the US, ten year old laptops should be listed as worth next to nothing. The depreciation schedule is about 3 years, I think.
Well, first off, the US government doesn't comply with GAAP across the board, it picks and chooses where it wants to comply. There's plenty of questionable accounting practices, despite efforts to clean it up (see GAO annual report).

She graciously said I could and I will re-gift you the link in a moment.
The last line of her post says "And just as where everything ends, it will all begin here: home."
And I thought and thought about that line.
And I was amazed because I could read Jennifer's post without crying, without breaking down.
Robert Frost wrote, "Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in".
That simple collection of vowels and consonants used to rip my heart apart. I would hear those words or read the beautiful quotes on calendars and little wooden signs with all those sentimental sayings about love and families and homes, and I would literally and completely lose it.
My house WAS NOT a home for a long time to me. My home WAS NOT that place where they have to take you in.
Not only had all but one of our children moved on, but my husband and I had made one of the most horrific and difficult choices in our lives.
We had closed our home to the daughter that remained.
In the deepest times of her addiction we could not let her into our home. At all.
And she lived on the streets with addict friends.
We left food and blankets and toiletries outside on our porch and they were often gone by morning but she did not come inside our house or yard for a long, long time.
I cannot tell you the heartbreak of this as a parent. Or perhaps I do not need to if you have endured something like this.
For years whenever I would hear a quote about home or see one of those signs that say "Home is where they have to take you in" I would cry until I was a hollow shell...empty, aching and hopeless.
A year ago our daughter chose a different way and has been working herself out of that awful lifestyle slowly and steadily.
And I really thought for a long time that it was her changes that changed me.
Because, after all, I could read Jennifer's post without tears.
Jennifer's sentiments did give me a sad moment while I toyed with the regret and loss and remembered horrors.
But her poignant words also reminded me that it had taken a long time to recognize it was not our daughter finding sobriety that was the catalyst for the change in how I felt.
I think what finally changed me is when I recognized how unrealistic my idea of home had become.
I used to have to remind myself that it is still my home with or without our children living here. It is still my home with or without Sunday dinners and chaos.
Oh, I want all the kids here and I want everyone around the table and I want everyone ready to play a silly game or go for a walk or go to the store with me.
But I don't have that anymore.
And I never will again.
It is not necessarily always how I like or want my home to be.
But, for now, home for is where I live. And a place that everyone in my family can come and walk through the open door. Home is where I burn my candles, and leave the newspaper in a messy pile, and where flowers from my garden drop petals in piles of pink and lavender on the old weathered wood of my coffee table. Home is where I write and where I gaze out of the window at the pink streaked evening sky.
Home is now different. But it is still home.
And I really need to remind myself once in a while that just because things have changed doesn't make it bad. And Jennifer's post really helped me to do that.
"The key to change... is to let go of fear," says Roseanne Cash.
And I really believe that it was fear that fueled a lot of my unrealistic ideas of home for so long.
How could I call this home when our daughter had nowhere to live? How could it be a home when our children were all gone?
My fears were very real to me.
Fear of the unknown. Fear of being lonely. Fear of not being needed. Fear of being forgotten by children who had gone on with their lives. Fear of loosing all control and much of my influence over the people who had counted on me their whole lives.
Letting go of the fear has let me be able to breathe again.
And to be home.
And totally.
Like Jennifer says, ""And just as where everything ends, it will all begin here: home."
Let's find new beginnings.
Let's find new ways to make sure our homes are not just places of endings...but places where hope and possibility can still bloom and begin again.
Please click here to read Jennifer's post. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
And Jennifer? Thank you for reminding me.

Clumsy Bob Review
Clumsy Bob is proportionally wrong. In Bob's world, this elephant can swiftly bounce on clouds, and rats effortlessly swallow him whole. But really, Bob isn't even all that clumsy. He's just boring.
Clumsy Bob is basically Doodle Jump gone horizontal. It has all the elements you've come to expect from an endless high-score game, including disappearing platforms, springs, and rocket packs. Collecting coins along the way racks up points, and you'll want to avoid the rats and other baddies.
The biggest downside to Clumsy Bob is that the difficulty never ramps up. Instead, it remains easy throughout. With so many platforms, it's actually hard to miss them. Most of our deaths were due to being eaten while using the umbrella power-up, which makes Bob slowly float downward. In other words, we got bored with Clumsy Bob very quickly.
There are a few saving graces for Clumsy Bob, although neither make it worth our recommendation. This game is undeniably cute, and you can challenge Crystal friends to top your high score.
Clumsy Bob simply isn't challenging enough to recommend to anyone. At best, this is a game young kids may enjoy, but more serious gamers should let Bob bounce among the clouds in solitude.

Difference between revisions of "Ingolstadt"
Revision as of 08:39, 21 July 2012
Ingolstadt is a city in Bavaria, southern Germany.
Ingolstadt is the youngest city in Germany. Although it counts over 120000 citizens today, some people still call it a village, since it can't keep up with the big city charme of Nuremberg and Munich. In the past Ingolstadt was mainly known for hosting the first Bavarian University and its military fortress facilities. The latter is the reason, why some citizens of Ingolstadt still call each other Schanzer (from verschanzen: to fortify). It is also the city where Adam Weishaupt founded the Illuminati.
Get in
By plane
Munich Airport is one of the closest airports to Ingolstadt, By train Munich Hauptbahnhof (Main station) is about 35 minutes away from Ingolstadt and the journey costs approximately €17. Since one has to go first to the central station in Munich by S-bahn (about 1 hour) and then change connection there and get on a train to Ingolstadt (another hour ride) it is a lot quicker and more convenient to take the bus. But, if you are a party of up to 5 people and travel on a tight budget after 9 a.m. you may consider taking the train - for there exists a cheap ticket (bayernticket) for 29 Euros for up to five persons which is valid for the S-bahn, the train and also some buses. (be aware: you can not take a ICE or IC train with that ticket!).
From Munich Airport there is a bus called "Airport Express X109". A one-way ticket is 19 Euros and a return ticket 31 Euros. The bus takes about an hour to the center of Ingolstadt, stopping there at the central bus station (ZOB). It leaves every day at 5:15 6:45 8:15 9:45 11:15 12:45 14:15 15:45 17:15 18:45 20:15 21:45 0:15 o´clock at Terminal 2 E 03, passing by Terminal 1 Bereich A/B three minutes later and at the Airport Center (MAC) another 4 minutes later. More information can be obtained under http://www.invg.de/fahrplan/2010/X109_2010.pdf
Nuremberg airport is also rather close by and can be reached easily by train and subway . From the airport you take the subway "U2 " to Nürnberg Hbf(U-Bahn) (=central station). The ride takes some 13 minutes. There you change to a train (another 40 minutes ride to Ingolstadt).
By train
The main station is Ingolstadt Hauptbahnhof (HBF) and the second main station of the city is Ingolstadt Nord.
By car
Ingolstadt lies on the Autobahn A9 about halfway between Munich an Nuremberg with the exits Ingolstadt Nord (61) and Ingolstadt Süd (62).
By bus
Get around
by bus
In Ingolstadt a decent net of bus lines is operated by the INVG (Ingolstädter Verkehrsgesellschaft). All parts of the town and most of the sorrounding villages are reachable (Network Plan). During the day (05:00 - 21:00) you can catch a bus every 15 to 60 minutes. During the night, the service is reduced (Network Plan) and special night lines, recognizable by the letter 'N' proceeding their number are employed.
by taxi
Currently 105 Taxis are operating in Ingolstadt. Most of them are organized with in the Ingolstadt Taxi Central Office, where you can order a car by phone (+49 841 19410). Most of the drivers speak at least fragments of English and should know most of the Hotels, Clubs and ohters POIs in the city by name. During the weekend night party rush hour however, you will have little luck getting a taxi by phone or on a taxi stand, especially when you try to get out of the city. In the latter case, try to move to the outskirts of the city in the direction of your destination. Most of the taxis will try to go back into the city and you have a bigger chance to intercept these on the outskirts than in the center. And even if you don't get one, your better off making pace in your direction than standing in the city center and waiting. You can get to most places in town for about 10 to 15€. The drivers are normaly able to estimate the price quite well, but are legally required to charge exactly according price meter, callibrated by local authorities. When you leave the so called Pflichtfahrgebiet (area where the driver is obligated to accept passengers to), which covers the town an some of the sorrounding villages, you can negotiate a price with the driver.
by bike
A very good way to get around in Ingolstadt is to use a bike. Most of the main streets have bicycle lanes and you are able to get through parks an other areas you would have to go around by car. Remember to setup your bike for traffic safety though (especially with working front an back lights) and strictly follow traffic regulations. Bavarian police officers are very fussy about that. Getting a 100€ fine for driving over a red light with your bike in the middle of nowhere without anyone around except for the police man 500 meters behind you is common.
Historical Buildings
All the historical buildings are found in or near the historical inner city and are within walking distance to one another.
Ingolstadt has a long tradition of beer culture. The Bavarian Reinheitsgebot, which became the German purity law for beer later, has its origin in Ingolstadt in the year 1516. Also the Hallertau region, the worlds biggest hopes growing area, is just south. The four local breweries are Herrnbräu, Nordbräu, Westparkbräu 1516 and Schwalbenbräu. You can also get several other regional brands.
Around Whitsum and in autumn (usually the last week in September) the beer festival takes place. It's similar to the Munich Oktoberfest but smaller and a bit more traditional. During Lent you can get Starkbier like in most parts of Bavaria.
Beer gardens
Night clubs
Stay safe
Like most of Bavaria Ingolstadt is very safe. Even in the more deprived areas in the north you are unlikely to become the victim of a crime. Use your common sense to avoid risky situations though.
Additional to the (free) general German emergency lines (112 - General ermegency/Fire, 110 - Police) there's a direct line to get an ambulance: +49 841 19222.

|« Yoo-Hoo, Sarah ~ (and all *hungry* new moms!) ~ heavy metal detox ~ and type B weight loss! :-D
|Calcium during Pregnancy ~ type O »
Type A ~ How quickly will the weight go away?
I am 51 yr ol obese, purchased live right and cook right books and are trying to follow them for weight loss and for better health. I am 4-11 and weigh 180. I have lupus, fibromyalgia, hypothyroisism, buldgeing disc in my back with degeneration also. I have arthritis in my hips, and legs. I am in lots of pain and on the fentanyl patches since thursday for control. I am following the diet as close as I can, and am staying mostly in the beneficial areas of foods. I also gave up diet cokes(from 40 yrs habit!!) cold turkey and drink green tea now with stevia. I manage my mother's health food store, but is is small and I have to purchase most of my foods in the nearest town. I love the breads and am not even craving meats at all. I just need some input as to possible weight loss I may expect if following carefully and I am type A. Thanks for your thoughts on this matter as soon as possible. Annie
Wow! Great job on quitting the diet cokes!! pretty impressive! :-) Just chucked 'em, huh? Whatta gal!!
My chiropractor, who just celebrated his 50th anniversary in practice, always says that the best thing for the back is to be slender. Be careful with that back, and let's just get your weight normalized to begin with. There are exercises, simple-brief-easy and safe, which you can start now if your doctor approves. They can be found at the Royal Canadian Air Force 5BX site. Using the lowest level (Chart One, D-)for two weeks will begin to strengthen the muscles that support your spine, as well as give you more mobility in your legs and back. Look at the site and make notes, talk to your doctor, and start slowly. At first, you may not be able to really perform any of the movements. That's fine! Lots of folks start that way! just make "gestures" at them and work slowly along from day to day.
Next: Chicken Soup. Yep. Secret miracle remedy! :-) You think I'm kidding, don't you! Read on: get a 3 or 4 pound organic chicken. Quarter an onion, and put it in the bottom of a roasting pan along with enough whole carrots & celery stalks to make a kind of rack along the bottom. Toss in 4 or 5 cloves of garlic. Drizzle a few tablespoons of olive oil over it, add 2 cups of water, and put the chicken (rubbed with olive oil and sea salt, inside and out) on top. Roast at 375 F for a couple of hours (baste if you like), until the skin is crisp and the leg & wing joints loosen. Take it out, let it sit and settle for 15 minutes after it's done, then carve the meat off the bones. Now, dump all the bones and everything left in the roasting pan into a pot big enough to hold twice that volume. Cover it with water, 3" above the solid contents. Bring it to a boil, then simmer it for 3-4 hours. Add a squeeze of lemon, and simmer one more hour. The bones will crumble at the pinch of two fingers when you drain the broth. Toss the bones, veg, whatever doesn't go through the colander. You are now in possession of the finest elixir known to man for the repair of cartilage, skin-hair-bone health, and soluble beneficial proteins for general healing of your system.
Here's how you take it: warm it up like tea (not quite boiling, although that won't hurt it - but it might burn your mouth!), pour it in your cup and add a tablespoon of very fresh flax oil, a sprinkle of turmeric, garlic powder, and parsley. This is powerful medicine.
You can make a broth of fish bones the same way, if you buy whole fish which you steam or bake, then toss the bones into a plastic bag for the freezer. Eventually you'll have half a pound or so, and you can boil them for broth in the same way with a bunch of fresh parsley and a carrot & celery stalk added.
Next: have a smoothie in the morning, made of two tablespoons freshly-ground flax meal from the seed (just keep a bag in the fridge), a tablespoon of fish oil, and your favorite fruit (pineapple, plum, berries, mix it up however you'd like) a tablespoon of beneficial nut or seed butter and a few ice cubes. Thin it with spring or mineral water if desired.
Make some salad dressing in your blender, including a whole scoop of nutritional yeast (KAL is tops), a cup of olive oil, juice of a lemon (more or less, to taste), some toasted sesame oil, sea salt. This can top your raw salads and steamed vegetables, and tastes absolutely wonderful.
Because of the lupus and fibro, I want you to use only the 100% sprouted breads until the pain is gone and you no longer need the patches.
Annie, since you work in a health food store you're in the best possible position to get any books or supplements you need. May I recommend Meditation as Medicine by Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa? I have been using his Medical Meditations for several months now, and the effect is awesome. You can perform them in just 10 minutes per day. His success with pain relief and healing what mainstream medicine calls "intractable" conditions is stupendous. In fact, he has another book specifically targeted for pain patients, called The Pain Cure.
I suggest these books because the techniques described are absolutely paramount in healing -- perhaps for type As most of all -- and used with their equally powerful nutritional/lifestyle guide, Live Right, they will afford a restorative and enlivening experience for you that no medicine of any kind can hope to approach.
Your weight loss will proceed in the best manner, as your body decides as it heals. I cannot tell you how quickly it will go, but the optimum (and expected) rate would be perhaps 3-5 pounds per week at first (perhaps the first 2-3 weeks), and one to two pounds per week for a month or two, then less as you approach your ideal weight. You may experience fluctuations and plateaus, since your thyroid function is low at this time. Keep strictly to your program, and hold in mind that this plan will see you through to serenity, strength and robust good health in body and mind.
Best of luck to you, dear! Please let me know how you are doing!!

IN Winning Ugly, former American tennis professional Brad Gilbert offers an instructional guide for players without noticeable major weapons - a huge serve, or a blistering forehand, for instance - to upset more fancied opponents.
If Jackson Bird were to pen a book on his burgeoning cricket career, it might be called Bowling Boring. Like the title of Gilbert's page-turner, that is not meant to be derogatory.
In fact, Bird, 26, is unashamedly setting out to do just that in his first Test for Australia against Sri Lanka at the MCG.
''I think Glenn McGrath was an unbelievable bowler - he got wickets everywhere,'' Bird said. ''I suppose he was a pretty boring bowler, but I think that's why he was so good. He kept his game simple and I suppose he just got it done.
''That's sort of the one thing I really looked up to. How he'd get wickets everywhere on every type of surface.''
McGrath could argue there is not a great deal boring about taking 563 Test wickets. But he would appreciate what Bird means. The legendary seamer decided to sacrifice some speed for accuracy, and the results were spectacular.
Bird also employs a straightforward method of attack, letting others go hammer and tong at batsmen while he picks them apart intelligently at the opposite end.
The newcomer will open the bowling in the Boxing Day Test and he will do so about the same speed - in the mid-130-km/h range - that McGrath did for many years.
Those who have watched him closely in the Sheffield Shield have noticed that he maintains his pace after settling into his rhythm.
''It's nothing different to what I've done in first-class cricket,'' Bird said of opening the bowling. ''I think I've opened in probably 15 out of 17 games. I'm definitely not going to try and do anything different. I suppose there is going to be a few more people there on Boxing Day, but it's something that I'm going to have to deal with.''
Tasmania's state talent manager, Michael Farrell, who first saw Bird when the paceman was bowling for NSW under-19s in Perth in 2004, said Bird had maintained many of the characteristics he had as a teenager.
''He looked a resilient fella. He had the ability to bowl long spells and he still has, and that's one of his strengths,'' Farrell said.
''He continually seemed to have the seam in the right spot, and that's something he still does. He's got a good ability to sum up a batsman's technique and he's also got a great ability to sum up the conditions he's bowling in. He can swing the ball in favourable conditions but his strength is just hitting that back of a length and consistently hitting the seam.''
Australian coach Mickey Arthur admitted last week that he had barely seen him bowl. But he was certainly aware of the impression Bird has made on opposition batsmen over the past 15 months - he is approaching 100 first-class wickets in less than 20 matches - and Arthur has been doubly convinced by what he has seen in the nets in Melbourne.
''At the start of the summer we had a list of bowlers that we wanted to keep fresh and keep ready to go, and Jackson was one of them,'' he said.
''The simple reason that he brings everything that we want. He brings pace, he brings swing, consistency, he's done it all.
''We've got no issues about throwing the new ball to him.''

"Developing and maintaining a world-class infrastructure is, and continues to be, the overarching strategic priority for the Port of Los Angeles," said Harbor Commission President Cindy Miscikowski. "Capital improvements and improved efficiency are essential if we're to maximize cargo flow as well as maintain our position as the nation's no. 1 container port."
The capital spending budget earmarks more than $380 million for container terminal and transportation upgrades, including almost $78 million related for construction at the Berth 200 rail yard, a pivotal piece of the port's overall goods movement plan to facilitate more fuel-efficient, faster and safer rail operations throughout the port complex and $33.2 million for the South Wilmington Grade Separation project, which will provide unimpeded grade-separated vehicle access to businesses throughout the Wilmington Waterfront while allowing public safety vehicles unobstructed access to the area.
"Adoption of this budget allows the Port of Los Angeles to remain competitive, financially strong and self-sustaining, especially as we face increasing and intense competition from ports around the globe," said Port Executive Director Geraldine Knatz.

LONDON (AP) — It looked all too easy for the champions at the All England Club. It was another story, though, for one of last year's finalists and for one of the highest seeded women in the draw.
Defending women's champion Petra Kvitova and former men's winners Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray all won their first-round matches at Wimbledon on Tuesday in straight sets.
The big names imposed themselves on Day 2 of the grass-court Grand Slam as London basked in warm, sunny conditions.
But, late in the day, there were two major casualties in the women's field.
First, Eugenie Bouchard, who was runner-up at Wimbledon last year, fell in the opening round,...

Old English wyrgan "to strangle," from West Germanic *wurgijanan (cf. Middle Dutch worghen, Dutch worgen, Old High German wurgen, German würgen "to strangle," Old Norse virgill "rope"), from PIE *wergh- "to turn" (see wring). Related: Worrisome; worrying.
The oldest sense was obsolete in English after c.1600; meaning "annoy, bother, vex," first recorded 1670s, developed from that of "harass by rough or severe treatment" (1550s), as of dogs or wolves attacking sheep. Meaning "to cause mental distress or trouble" is attested from 1822; intransitive sense of "to feel anxiety or mental trouble" is first recorded 1860.
1804, from worry (v.).
