To episode 5
Well I enjoyed little Rimone's story of overcoming her previous tragedy the one time she took her own initiative.
I'm feeling sympathetic to the poor Argentum guys, suffering terribly and striving so hard to make their miserable lives a little better while the Sky Priestesses just cruise around on their luxury liner eating desserts in the ballroom and don't deign to venture out if they're not in a good mood that day.
I like the idea of the power of sacred geometry, but I hope these guys get over their religiousity and figure out that they're in a life and death struggle, not a prayer meeting. "God helps those who help themselves."
Maybe it could even occur to them that they might actually HELP the poor sods they share the planet with rather than keep them away from the "sacred artifacts" they were just lucky enough to find first. I'm hoping somebody might even get out of the pulpit long enough to open up one of the helical engines so we can discover how it really works.
But it's an interesting study in comparative social development. It reminds me of Lost Exile, but the bad guys there are apparently the good guys here. Maybe this is how the Guild got started on their evil path. But it's early yet. Anything could happen.
The worst offender to me is the noble Shibyura Aurea, Nebireru, who whilst having aquamarine eyes to die for, had best get her head out of her butt and do something besides take strolls in the gardens with her two little ladies-in-waiting. I'm sure she has her own issues, but people are dying while she mulls over her personal problems. How about a little noblesse oblige here?
I think the backgrounds are pastels, not watercolors.

Heh. I'd forgotten how much fun it is watching somebody go through Simoun for the first time. I can't wait until he gets to some of the parts that make you go lolwtfbbq.
Keep on going, drobertbaker. You'll be glad you finished it when you do. I've watched the whole show probably about 7 or 8 times, myself. ^__^

I was sure glad to see Dad step in and call an end to all the foolishness. The girls were way out of control.
The peace conference was a real wake-up call and Nebireru seemed to get it. She saw the dedication of the Plumbum priestesses to do what they had to do and still maintain their faith, in fact increase it to a fanatical level. She also saw up close the stakes involved.
The girls have now been evicted from the luxury liner and are living altogether (with mice and a leaky roof) in a common dormitory. I hope there's a firehose nearby because sparks will fly!
Just when Nebireru was getting it together, Aaeru sent her back to bed with her unbelievable tactlessness.
The war-driven influx of these low-class and impious Shibyura is certainly fostering change.
I have tried to think of a real-world example of sacred power turned to bellicose ends by necessity. Perhaps some sect of Asian fighting monks that I'm not aware of? The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?
The closest I could come was the developers of the atom bomb, devout high priests of Science. The ones who came to the fore under pressure were the ones who could rise above their (if any) scruples. Szilard the political fanatic and Fermi the morally invisible man. Oppenheimer played the role of Nebireru the ambivalent leader, equally in love with her instrument of power and her own inscrutability.
Oppenheimer ended up doing what he had to do, but after the war, balked at unanticipated escalation and was cast down, replaced by Teller who was unafraid of the next step.
How far will Nebireru conscientiously go? Or will she see the light of holy destruction? Aaeru and Mamiina certainly have no scruples whatsoever and would both love to be in charge.
I finally heard a groovin' jazz tune I had to have and so got the OSTs. The song turned out to be called "Hashire" (Run!!).
OST 1 has an interesting grouping of music:

To episode 20
So Dominura steps up and finally opens a Simoun. And what she sees drives her crazy! What did she see? "Hope".
Apparently Amuria was absorbed into the Simoun as well as the new casualties Dominura and Rimone. It would seem the Simoun run on dead Shibyura.
The girls get back to the Arucus Purima and Paraietta falls to pieces.
The enemy finally find their own Simoun. Uh-oh!
The enemy priestess who blew herself to smithereens shows up intact (but still dead) inside a Simoun. It looks like her extreme faith transferred her into a Simoun at her death as well, not into the engine, but rather placidly propped up at the controls. And our side oddly gives her a lovely funeral.
Mamiina's poor self image costs her her life. She is so happy to be recognized as a real Shibyura that she voluntarily sacrifices herself. Class still rules the day though as she ends up dumped on the ground for the coyotes without even the funeral that the enemy priestess received.
Lastly, it looks like Her Eminence, the High Priestess, has had enough of the military taking over and she is plotting some grand sweeping move to end the war and bring all the parties into a new polity.
To the end
Wow! So much happens towards the end, but it's well paced, not rushed. It's hard to sum up even the major themes here; The Land of Hope, The Door to a Different World, The Eternal Girl.
A couple of final points of interest:
All the girls grow up, learn to take responsibility for their lives, become self-reliant, and focus on what's really important to them.
The bottom line seems to be that life always has hard knocks and we are always faced with tough decisions, but we have to follow our hearts and move on.
Given that, no summation can compare with the final group monologue. I have to quote it:
"Why were we all that concerned about sending out Aaeru and Nebiriru to a different world? Was it our being unable to escape from the current of time, because of defiance? Becoming adult was scary; we wanted to stay girls. So we piled those feelings on them? No, definitely something different. We were only carving "We ourselves were definitely here"; shouting in a loud voice the fact that we ourselves were definitely here. Carving, resisting. Aaeru, Nebiriru, I wonder where you are about now, our eternal girls."
You really have to see this for yourself.

Good Job ^__^
Now, go watch it again so you'll pick up all the stuff you missed the first time through. Believe me... you miss a lot - I've seen the entire thing 7 or 8 times and I still see new stuff I haven't seen before.

What do you know, there's life in the old girl yet... The staff blog has been updated for the first time in nearly three years to pimp promote the DVD box set, and for the attention span-challenged they've embraced twitter as well - speaking of which, check out Nishida Asako's avatar
As further proof that old Sybillae never die, AT-X will rebroadcast the show in January 2011.
EDIT: I didn't realise it's Nishida-sensei's birthday today. Someone drew her this cute Aeru as a present.

Is it just me or does Aeru look noticeably younger than in the anime?

Forum Post: A Shuffle of Aluminum, but to Banks, Pure Gold
Posted 5 years ago on July 21, 2013, 9:04 a.m. EST by BradB
from Washington, DC
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
This industrial dance has been choreographed by Goldman to exploit pricing regulations set up by an overseas commodities exchange, an investigation by The New York Times has found. The back-and-forth lengthens the storage time. And that adds many millions a year to the coffers of Goldman, which owns the warehouses and charges rent to store the metal. It also increases prices paid by manufacturers and consumers across the country.

Power forward Thomas DeThaey left the N.C. State program in late November, returning home to Belgium because his father became seriously ill. But he did not leave the Wolfpack entirely.
DeThaey still retains a connection to the program in his Twitter handle: @de_thaeygopack.
And he still has some opinions about how things are going within the N.C. State program, which he expressed on his Twitter account Wednesday morning, not long after the Pack—predicted to win the ACC in the preseason by the league's coaches—lost on the road to a middling-at-best Wake Forest team.
"That's what happens when you're a great recruiter but a terrible coach!" DeThaey wrote around 10 a.m. ET.
Interestingly, Pack guard T.J. Warren retweeted the comment according to basketball blog Rush The Court, although it soon was erased.
There had been some speculation that DeThaey was referring to another coach, not N.C. State head coach Mark Gottfried. But Pack fans began to criticize DeThaey for his comments, including one Reeves Thompson, who advised him, "If you truly respect your former teammates, you will shut the (heck) up, honestly man."
DeThaey then made clear the intent of his comments by his subsequent responses:
"Y'all mad at me now because I'm just telling you guys the truth...LOL! That's what happens when you're blind to the facts!
"And trust me, I love all of my former teammates!! I got nothing but respect for my bro's!
"I have the right to tweet or say whatever I feel like saying! I've been taking a lot the time that I was there..."
This is not the ideal circumstance for N.C. State (15-4, 4-2) facing another huge home ACC game Saturday against rival North Carolina (12-5, 2-2). The Pack have lost two of their past three games, albeit by a combined margin of three points.

|[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-2219) [RTC] Merge m2migration (functional m2 build) to trunk
|Thu, 27 Jul 2006 20:10:14 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2219?page=comments#action_12423904 ] Jacek Laskowski commented on GERONIMO-2219: ------------------------------------------- Build, tested and am confident they can go to the trunk. Here goes my +1 for the work that's been done in the m2migration branch, i.e. for applying the G-2219 to trunk. I do second Matt's view on it (but I'd vote +1 without it, too, as the tests I've done finished successfully and although there may be some issues they're almost invisible for end users). Good job Jason, Anita and Prasad! I'm going on a 2-week holiday and wish to see fully functional M2 build before I return =) > [RTC] Merge m2migration (functional m2 build) to trunk > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: GERONIMO-2219 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2219 > Project: Geronimo > Issue Type: RTC > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Components: buildsystem > Affects Versions: 1.2 > Reporter: Jason Dillon > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 1.2 > > > h3. Overview > For the past few weeks we have been busy at work getting Geronimo 1.2-SNAPSHOT to build with Maven 2. As I have noted before in email, the process is almost complete. At this point the work done so far results in a functional server for the following assemblies: > * geronimo-jetty-j2ee > * geronimo-jetty-minimal > * geronimo-tomcat-j2ee > * geronimo-tomcat-minimal > The work to implement has been applied to a branch in the sandbox, and includes many submitted patches from those contributors and commiters that had been helping with the effort. > My recommendation is that we _merge_ this change to trunk and not generate a diff and then patch. There are a few changes which patch does not handle well and will cause failed chunks when applied, and there are a few files moved and copied, which when patched will cause loss of that history. > As I mentioned this work is _almost complete_, there are still a few pending issues, please see the section below for more details. > h3. Recommend Action Post RTC > Once we have the required RTC +1's to allow this work to be merged, this is what I recommend: > # Merge m2migration to trunk as described below > # Deprecate the Maven1 build; meaning leave the m1 files, but strongly urge developers to use the m2 build > # Enable the TCK _automated_ testing in GBuild using the m2 build > # Remove the m1 build (and related files) > These steps will probably take a few weeks post-merge to complete. > h3. About the Branch > The main branch which should be used for review is: > * https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/sandbox/svkmerge/m2migration > I have been using SVK ( http://svk.elixus.org/ ) to keep this m2migration branch up to date with the latest changes that have been made to trunk (with a few exceptions). I have been staging the merge as follows: > * merge from {{trunk}} to {{sandbox/svkmerge/trunk}} > * merge from {{sandbox/svkmerge/trunk}} {{sandbox/svkmerge/m2migration}} > This has worked out very well and I have found that using SVK dramatically reduces to complexity of performing full tree (or partial tree merges). I have been verifying that the SVK {{smerge}} is indeed doing the right thing and I have a good deal of confidence in it at this point. > The idea is to merge m2migration back to trunk using SVK as follows: > * merge from {{sandbox/svkmerge/m2migration}} to {{sandbox/svkmerge/trunk}} > * merge from {{sandbox/svkmerge/trunk}} to {{trunk}} > This is the opposite of what I am performing now on a regular basis to sync this development branch. Normally the additional branch (svkmerge/trunk) would not be needed, but it exists to help ensure that the merge is indeed _doing the right thing_. > h3. Recommended Review Steps > {noformat} > svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/sandbox/svkmerge/m2migration > cd m2migration > ./bootstrap > gunzip -c m2-assemblies/geronimo-jetty-j2ee/target/geronimo-jetty-j2ee-1.2-SNAPSHOT-bin.tar.gz | tar xf - > ./geronimo-jetty-j2ee/bin/startup.sh && tail -f geronimo-jetty-j2ee/var/log/geronimo.out > .... > ./geronimo-jetty-j2ee/bin/shutdown.sh --user system --password manager > {noformat} > *NOTE:* Windows users need to run {{bootstrap}} from a Cygwin environment and should probably run these steps from the root of a drive (c:, d:, etc) to better ensure that the long filename problem is not an issue when testing. > *WARNING:* The {{bootstrap}} script will remove your local Maven2 repository cache and will take maybe 30 minutes or so to run... more or less depending on how fast your network connection is. > You should define a mirror for the {{central}} m2 repository before running... otherwise you will almost certainly get repository failures downloading from ibiblio. This is what I am using (in ~/.m2/settings.xml): > {code:xml} > <?xml version="1.0"?> > <settings> > <mirrors> > <mirror> > <id>repo.mergere.com</id> > <url>http://repo.mergere.com/maven2</url> > <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf> > </mirror> > </mirrors> > </settings> > {code} > Also, due to the coupling of Geronimo and OpenEJB2, OpenEJB2 must be checked out and built in the middle of the bootstrapping. Once G is hooked up to CI and snapshots are being automatically deployed, we can also hook up OpenEJB2 to do the same... but until then OpenEJB2 needs to be built in the bootstrap. > h4. Testing Caveats > Currently the test from the timer module may fail on systems that are slow or are low on cpu resources when the test is run. If you run into this, you may need to disable the tests for that module by adding this to the pom: > {code:xml} > <properties> > <maven.test.skip>true</maven.test.skip> > </properties> > {code} > Since the tests appear to normal work, I am uncomfortable turning them off by default... and we will eventually fix them. Tracked by: > * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2183 > You may run into problems downloading artifacts while bootstrapping, specifically I have seen the Apache m1 repos reject connections and cause the build to fail. Re-running will resolve. Make sure you have a mirror configured for central. > h3. Pending Issues > There are still a few remaining issues which need to be sorted out. > Rick's JavaMail changes (#421872) which remove the javamail-transport module have yet to be applied due to the lack of the deployed dependency. > Some use of version properties in pom.xml files are inconsistent due to selective use by child pom's that can not easily make use of the {{<dependencyManagement>}} section; which is the desired end result. It will take some time to refactor to get this really finished. > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2206 > Some minor work is needed to get the jsp/servlet examples happy. Also need to resolve the geronimo-samples groupId (and more so where that source comes from). > Some (2 actually) test failures need to have some attention given to them, tracked be: > * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2210 > * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2211 > Some more work also needs to be done on the Maven-2 generated site, but there is most of it here already: > * http://geronimo.apache.org/maven/ > h3. What if 'bootstrap' Fails? > So far, most of the failures that people run into are due to environmental causes and not because of anything broken with the branch or build configuration. > If you run into any failure, please mail dev@ and include the bootstrap.log, which should be generated automatically and captures all output. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

I have a bad habit… Whenever Bruce and I have guests at our home, I tend to put out too much food. Our guests always go home happy and with their bellies full but, dealing with party leftovers can be a pain. Just like what happened over the past weekend. We had a pound of leftover strawberries sitting in a bowl on the counter after our brunch and there's only two of us living in the home. Ugh! I can't believe I thought it and even worse, I can't even believe that I said it out loud. I bought way too many strawberries…
I have learned over the years that sometimes you just need to get creative to use up the ingredients you have on hand. I personally like to use ingredients and flavor combinations in ways that most people would never think or even dream of. A great example is my sweet and tangy homemade Strawberry Barbecue Sauce with spicy ancho chili, sweet and sticky Indonesian soy sauce and my favorite soda, Dr Pepper. The flavor of my Strawberry Barbecue sauce is smoky, sweet and complex but on the other hand, it's really easy to make.
Strawberry Barbecue Sauce
- 1 pound of strawberries (cleaned, hulled and quartered)
- 1 can Dr Pepper
- 1 cup tomato ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Indonesian soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 1 tsp seasoning salt
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp ancho chili powder (use more for a spicy kick)
- 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
- 1/2 tsp granulated onion
- 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste
Add all ingredients to saucepan. Cook on medium low, stirring occasionally for about 45 minutes. Blend with hand blender to make the barbecue sauce smooth. Taste and correct your seasonings. Remove from heat and let cool. Makes about 3 cups. Any leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for about a week. Brush it on barbecue beef, chicken, or pork..
Now that the sauce is done… Let's fire up the Q!
Strawberry Barbecue Chicken
- 6 pounds chicken (I like to use legs or thighs)
- 1 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper (or to taste)
- 3 cups Strawberry Barbecue Sauce (or to taste)
Fire up your barbecue or grill pan. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Grill on medium high heat until juices run clear or about 15 minutes. Brush with sauce and cook a few minutes more… Serve chicken with sauce on the side. Makes about 12 servings. Enjoy! Tessa

Entrada de blog "Friday Freericer": A Good Reason for Fun
As the working week winds down, your thoughts may become less about work and more about fun. You may surreptitiously play Solitaire and watch the minutes pass till the weekend, while trying to look busy.
Does that sound familiar? If so, you should join our Friday Freericers group, dedicated to having fun while fighting hunger worldwide and learning something new. It's a legitimate reason to avoid work every Friday.
Anyone can join whether you're at the office, at school or wearing pyjamas in your kitchen. The group is new, so you will be a founding member.
This week - Sept 09: find the secret bonus question on Freerice, to claim your reward. To take part join the group and click "play" on the group profile page on Friday or click "play" from our list of groups. Invite your friends to see who can reach the reward first.
Update: the bonus question is now live. Here's a hint: it's hidden in the English Vocabulary section.
Happy Friday, Freericers!
Review [url=http://www.chatlatino.co.uk]chat gay[/url]
When will the next one be?
The people over in the horn of Africa are not healthier.They are worse than people in this country,they're starving and you're saying their healthier.I'm not sticking up for America or anything,I mean how do you think we got the term "lazy Americans" but don't you see?These people aren't healthy they're starving.THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON FOR THIS SITE!To keep them from starving and to keep them fed.They're barely scraping by and you say that's healthy?I am feeling a mixture of utter shock and utter dissapointment in the people of common society.They're not healthy or happy,they're unhealthy and desolate.the just want a beter day and I just can't believe how exasperating some people are!!!!
Ha ha, you are just kidding. Er. I am just kidding. Didn't find it yet.
Do you remember the old free rice wished the ricer a happy life every million or so.
If you go to Riverside Middle School you should join my group Riverside Middle School!!
Awesome group and a smart Idea!
has anyone won yet?
i think its a great idea!!!
gives u something to do, besides staring at Justin Bieber's face!:D
T.G.I.F...... last friday night we were......
I use this website with my 2nd graders. We usually work with grammar. I have my students write the correct answers on white boards. We start off by keeping our weekly total. Once we get further into the school year, I have my students graph the amout of rice we have donated each month. We set goals of how much we like to earn. Each month we try to earn more grains of rice than the pervious month. They love this game, it's fun, educational, we are doing out part to make the world a better place :) Many of the students play at home also.
For right now, I have 8,050 grains of rice sofar so that means I only need 991,950 grains to go.
Many are going to be Freericers just to get a paid Friday off!
Hey guys, you should join my groups, Girls.Against.Hunger and Beliebers.Against.Hunger ..
Like I said, I think that the Friday Freericer is a good idea except for the part about playing Solitaire because not every person wants to play Solitaire, but it can be fun to just LOOK busy!!! 8D LOL!!!
I think this is a great idea! A great way todonate more rice. 8D
Joining the Friday Freericers has messed my ranking. I'm only partially shown and without my unser name. I think this happens also by joining other groups or started to play in groups. Who else has this problem?
Can you please add another few levels to Basic Math (Pre-Algebra)? Sorry to bother you ... it's just that it's a bit simple for me.
I am in it to find it. Although, how will we know if we won? 8D\ B1
Happy Friday evryone. I'm up for the challenge to be one of the "top players". My goal is to donate 1,000,000+ grains of rice. So far I earned 7,930 grains of rice.
English is my strength, this will be a piece of cake, or a bowl of rice I should say. HAR HAR 8D. I just need to find the cake cutter. and a bowl for the rice.
How will we know if someone has already found it?
@pitcher12k: Yes! You will see an image announcing that you are a winner and see a link to your reward.
It's not a cash prize, or anything you can sell. It's just a small way of saying thank you for taking the time to raise rice for others.
Update: the bonus question is live!
So...will we know if we get the secret bonus question?!?! :D
Nice idea!

Jeff94984 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 42 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
Speciality Sausage by Schmidt
A start-up business run by a the Schmidt family in the beautiful countryside area of Tomah, Wisconsin to produce and sell handcraft, high-quality sausages. They use the finest ingredients, the leanest meats, no fillers, insuring a high quality product. 100% customer satisfaction.
We are looking for a bit edgy, fun logo design that captures the pride and pure ingredients in this handmade product.
While sausage itself has little appeal as a image, we are thinking of smiling cow, possible with the 'thumbs up!' sign — sort of like he is proud to be 'part' of the product and endorses it himself.
We sort of like sunburst as a background, maybe with a barn and the pasture 'paradise' of the countryside from which this comes. Maybe blue skies, and stream? Maybe something like this:
Cows that are sort of interesting, but again we see him smiling with a 'thumbs up' on his 'hand'

This past Sunday here at the Lindsay House Bed & Breakfast, Santa arrived in Manawa WI on a horse drawn wagon. This is held as a fund raiser for the food pantry here in Manawa & all the people who attended stepped up their donation efforts and the Manawa Area Chamber of Commerce was able to not only donate the largest amount of food & toys in recent years, also they were able to match the cash donations given at Santaland this year as well. Children young & old enjoyed having their pictures taken with the big guy himself, some even brought letters that they had written to Santa. The horse drawn wagon rides were another fun part of the day as well as the cocoa & cookies which were a treat. Thank you to all who attended & volunteered to make it another wonderful holiday season !

Hi all,
I have changed the download path in the Madsonic Android client to: /storage/extSdCard/Music/ but it does not work.
I do not get any error messages, and the client reports successful download, but nothing is stored anywhere as far as I can see, neither can it be played back by clicking on the track name in the downloaded list.
I suspect that something is wrong in the path syntax, but I cannot figure out what it may be...
Suggestions anyone (I have tried almost all variants I could think of)?

What You Need to Know About Your Target Heart Rate and Heart Rate Zones
A heart rate monitor is a good tool to use to help make sure you avoid any unnecessary fitness injuries. It can monitor your heart rate to let you know when you have reached your target heart rate or let you know if you are pushing yourself too hard. However, many people who exercise do not use a heart rate monitor. They may not be aware of what a great fitness aid it is. It can aid you in maximizing the effects of your workout, help you reach your peak performance level and help you build your cardiovascular endurance. In order to properly use a heart rate monitor, you need to understand the different heart rate zones and know what your target heart rate should be.
The Basics
Maximum heart rate. This is the number of beats in a minute that your heart can maintain before it overloads. If it does overload, you can experience harmful side effects, such as a stroke or a heart attack. You can find your maximum heart rate by using this formula: 220 minus your age.
Target heart rate. This is your ideal heart rate that will give you the best results from your fitness routine. It will help encourage cardiovascular and muscular health and improve your endurance. You will be able to boost your fitness goals in this zone. The usual target heart rate depends on you age and is approximately 50 to 85% of your maximum heart rate.
Heart Rate Zones
Healthy-Living Conditioning. This is the basic level of heart rate training. It is on the low end of the heart rate spectrum. This zone will help encourage heart health and get you started on the right track to advance to higher heart rate zones. Usually this level is approximately from 45 to 60% off your maximum heart rate.
The Burn Zone. The Burn Zone gets its name from being the zone that enhances your body's capability to burn fat. The more you exercise, the more you should train your body to achieve this zone in your workout to help maximize the calories you can burn. Usually this zone is approximately 55 to 75% of your maximum heart rate.
Conditioning Zone. The Conditioning Zone is ideal for improving aerobic endurance. You will be able to increase your endurance and strengthen the muscles within your heart, so that you and your heart are performing at their peak level. You can achieve this zone by performing at 70 to 85% of your maximum heart rate.
VO2 and Maximum-Effort Zone. This zone is reserved for participants that are being properly monitored and are most likely training for a professional competition, like the Olympics. This zone should only be performed in short segments to avoid any injuries and should always be overseen by someone with the right qualifications. You can achieve this zone by achieving 85 to 100% of your maximum heart rate.
It is important to know your target heart rate and monitor your heart rate during your fitness routines. A heart rate monitor can be the perfect tool to aid you in getting the most out of your workouts and help you realize what your limits are. It can easily help you avoid the common mistake of pushing yourself too far, too soon. Many gyms now offer heart rate monitors as a free perk for using their gym, so it would be a great idea to check your local gyms and see which ones allow you to use their heart rate monitors while you workout. It could be a great deciding factor in choosing which gym you want to join.

It's the boobie battle you've all been waiting for -- 22-year-old "Teen Mom" porn star Farrah Abraham (with her brand new D cups) and the legendary Tanning Mom (with her genuine leather speed bags).
It's actually a hilarious coincidence ... Farrah and 45-year-old Patricia Krentcil both posed for topless photo shoots on the beaches of Malibu Thursday.
Malibu beaches are a hot spot for celeb photo shoots, so it's not that surprising they showed up around the same place -- but it's incredible they BOTH decided to drop their tops.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – As the Winter Meetings draw to a close, if Sandy Alderson wants to make a move, New York Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon said resources aren't stopping him.
That includes pitcher Bronson Arroyo and shortstop Stephen Drew, both of whom have been linked to the Mets since the free agent period began.
The Mets are in desperate need of a starter, but Arroyo is close to signing with Minnesota. They also began the offseason saying upgrading shortstop was a priority, but yesterday Terry Collins said Ruben Tejada is his shortstop.
Speaking specifically to Drew, Wilpon said: "Right now it's a baseball decision, because Sandy hasn't come to say, 'Gee, we have to go sign Stephen Drew,' or anybody else for that matter.
"I haven't heard him say that that's the best thing to do with our resources. He hasn't come to me and said, 'Gee, if we had X, we would go take somebody like that.' So there's still discussion on who we're looking at in a trade scenario and what else might be out there.''
Boston gave Drew a $14.1 million qualifying offer for arbitration, and now wants to retain him. Boston's plan appears to wait out the market before intensifying talks with Drew. Given that scenario, the Mets aren't going to get in a bidding war for Drew, regardless of how much Wilpon said Alderson can spend.
The Mets do not want to trade any of their young pitching, and their current trade chips on the major league level continue to be first baseman Ike Davis and second baseman Daniel Murphy.
Davis is hard to deal because teams in need of a first baseman are considering free-agent options before looking to trade.
Reportedly, the Orioles have an interest in both Davis and Murphy, but nothing is close with either.
Your comments are greatly appreciated and I will attempt to respond. Follow me on Twitter @jdelcos

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Every member of the San Francisco 49ers can't help but look up to a high school player.
That's because above his locker at team headquarters, each 49ers player has a picture of himself in high school, along with where he was ranked by scouting services at the time.
Coach Jim Harbaugh had a laminated sheet made for each player during wild-card weekend, which the 49ers had off, then surprised the players with them when they reentered the locker room after a meeting.
The scene was like the day high school yearbooks are distributed, with players going from locker to locker, checking out what their teammates looked like as kids, comparing notes on who had a higher national player ranking, or who was ranked higher in his particular state.

Two roads diverge on a tablet screen. One is the path to the native app, the other leads to the open web.
Luckily, you can take both. The latest mobile devices ship with a thoroughly modern browser capable of handling emerging web standards. Beneath that is a modern operating system with access to the magic inside the hardware: the camera, GPS, gyroscope and compass. But if you had to pick one — native app or web app — which would you choose? Your decision will make all the difference in how you approach your design, development and distribution.
|The Issues
|Native Apps
|Web Apps
|Internet access
|Not required
|Required, except for rare apps with offline capability
|Must be deployed or downloaded
|Hit refresh
|User interface
|Native apps are responsive and functional
|Device compatibility
|Platform-dependent, hardware-dependent
|Platform-agnostic, content can be reformatted with CSS to suit any device
|Fast and responsive
|Web apps are getting closer, but will probably always lag
|Streaming media
|Few problems with audio and video. Flash works, but only if the device supports it
|Flash works where supported. Browser-based audio and video are getting there, but still beset by compatibility headaches. Give it a year or two
|Tight control over typefaces, layout
|Almost on par, thanks to advancements in web standards. Give it six months
|Is my content searchable?
|Not on the web
|By default
|Only if you build it in
|Web links are shared freely. Social APIs and widgets allow easy one-click posting
|Discussion and collaboration
|Only if you build it, and it's more difficult if data is disparate
|Discussion is easy, all data is stored on a server
|Access to hardware sensors
|Yes, all of them: camera, gyroscope, microphone, compass, accelerometer, GPS
|Access through the browser is limited, though geolocation is common
|Specific tools required for some platforms (like Apple's). You have to build a new app for each target platform
|Write once, publish once, view it anywhere. Multiple tools and libraries to choose from
|Can I sell it?
|Charge whatever you want. Most app distributors take a slice, up to 30%
|Advertising is tolerated, subscriptions and paywalls less so. No distribution costs beyond server fees
|Most app stores require approval. And you gotta wait
|No such hassle
|Outside access to your content
|No, the reader must download your app
|Yep, just click a link
|Control over design (though limited in iAds) and rate
|More choices for design, plus access to web analytics. Rates vary widely

Before switching from one variable annuity to another, one should consider any surrender charges or expenses that may be incurred.

I liked this story because the setting was in Mexico because Mexico is an interesting place to me. I also liked the characters because sometimes they would speak Spanish in the story, and I got to read Spanish words I liked the solution because they all got what they wanted.
I would recommend this book for my friend Hannah because she likes fairy tales. I think that second graders would like this book because it would be easy to read. I think the part when all three girls traded their blankets for Patrick's violin is the part people would like most.

Man, you think the #OWS movement new? Raymond "Boots" Collins and DJ Pam the Funktress—better known as Oakland's The Coup—have been talking about this shit for years.
Originally formed as a trio comprised of Collins, Pam, and a third MC, DJ Enoc, in Oakland, CA in 1991, The Coup have released six studio albums including Steal This Album which featured the paramount single "Me & Jesus in a '79 Granada Last Night." Two Coup tracks were also featured on the soundtrack to Superbad.

The collection of sound recordings arose from a survey of surviving crafts in the county, carried out in the early 1970s by John Norwood, Keeper of Folk Life at the Museums Service. He interviewed 40 people on tapes which are now preserved in Wessex Film and Sound Archive. Listening copies of these are available in the Archive.
The crafts were chosen with the assumption that they were dying out, but many survive to this day, albeit using new technology in some cases. He also recorded examples of folk traditions like Morris Dancing, Mummers plays and Blessing the Plough.
The equipment was fairly basic: a domestic portable open reel tape recorder and separate microphone, and always used on location as the craftspeople worked or the events happened. As a result, sound quality varies, but the tapes remain as a valuable record of handmade crafts and what their practitioners felt about their work, leading to a fuller understanding and appreciation of their way of life.
Photographs were also taken, some reproduced here, and in a book produced by John Norwood: 'Craftsmen at Work' (London: John Baker, 1977).
The recordings are in wma, mp3 or real player formats.
You can play them on Windows Media Player or Real layer with closed captions or any other player supporting these formats but without captions. Windows Media Player or Real Player can be download free. The playback with synchronised closed captions has been tested on Internet Explorer.
He was Keeper of Folk Life for Hampshire Museums Service from 1969-1974, during which time he recorded 40 interviews with craftspeople. John went on to become Curator of Worthing Museum, before retiring in 1993. He died in January 2000.

A look at issues I deem worthy of my time, whether it be politics, religion or medical issues.

Belated Eid Mubarak and others quick shots
Muslims out to get David Letterman? Well that's what Rita Katz's "israeli" disinfo group SITE wants you to believe. Evidence? None as usual, but hey we are talking about an IDF terrorist who tries to con others with footage stolen from post-apocalyptic video games.
More evidence of the judeofascist funding of Islamophobia. Big surprise.
Speaking of "israelis," Amy Alkon, a judeofascist, and self styled "advice goddess" has been throwing a heck of fit after being "raped" by the TSA. While I despise the TSA, it is refreshing to see Zionist pigs get their comeuppance. Guess they didn't think that the draconian measures they whole heartedly supported against the Muslim community would come back and bite them in the tochas.
Ikhras has kicked the living ful medames out of charlatan Mona Eltahawy in this post.
30 Days and 30 Mosques! Sounds cool, right? Not really considering that the guys behind it tried to squeeze in some serious fitna into their little road trip across America, visiting different masajid. What do we find them promoting?
The word "segregation" is the American context brings up memories of Jim Crow, and that's exactly the same word used to misrepresent the separation of genders in the masjid, and promote mingling.
The promotion of the British created Ahmediya cult, as if they are members of the Muslim community. Look no further then brother Shahid Kamal's expertise on this subject.
The promotion of homosexuality with none other then the degenerate charlatan Daayiee Abdullah, the self proclaimed "gay" imam of perversion.
What could have been an interesting and refreshing Ramadan travelogue turned out to have nothing to do with ibadah but another dull, useless, cultural "analysis" by a confused effete pair.
Apparently hijab is now a safety risk for roller coasters. I'm calling bullcrap on this, folks. You rent an entire amusement park to 3000 Muslims and then on the day of the festivities try to bar them from participating, citing bogus "safety concerns"? So why did they allow hijab previously and just pulled this crap on Eid? The cops came, real tough guys, all 6 of them attacking a single Muslim woman. The brothers, aka REAL MEN who jumped in to save them were also beaten and arrested. Keep in mind this is the same group of armed thugs who will pump 41 bullets in a person without provocation. Hopefully this will end up in court, and the bastards sued.
Funny how Islamophobic gutter snipes, who never get tired of bringing up the flea bitten stereotype of submissive Muslim women are so glad to see them beaten and arrested for asserting their rights.
Up north in Canada, a one man outfit calling itself the "Canadian Hindu Advocacy," run by a fecal fascist named Ron Bannerjee has been rather busy. Hindutva simians are a new addition to the western Islamophobia scene, their traditional activities over in ol' mother India involves gang raping and mutilating pregnant women and their fetuses as long as they aren't Hindus.
Incidentally, Bannerjee sounds a lot like Sylvestor the cat. Sufferin' sugatash indeed! Guess he couldn't manage the delicate intricacies of pirating Bollywood DVDs at his obese Uncle's sweets and spices store, or con himself into a Caribbean Med school. So what's got Ron so hot and bothered? Apparently Muslim children making Jummah salah at the school cafetaria during lunch hour is his problem. Throw in the Jewish Defense league, a well known terrorist organization in the mix, along with selective secular fascists, and you have the latest manufactured controversy. And of course what hate fest against Muslims would be complete without Tarek "T-Fat" Fatah's Munafiq Canadian Congress lending its support?
I've got thick skin but draw the line when women and children from the community are targeted. Let me give you maggots some free advice, stay away from Muslim children or you may well have Muslim parents kicking the bloody feces out of you. Oh, and Ron, you better pray extra hard to the blue spaceman and the cow next door that you don't end up as my toilet seat on haleem night in your next incarnation.
Speaking of Zionist droppings, Turkey just threw out the "israeli" ambassador today for the judeofascist terror attack on the Mavi Marmara. About time. Don't expect spineless western governments to do the same despite the innumerous indignities brought on them by Zionist terrorists. Did I mention that another one of the "chosen" just admitted to spying for "israel"?
Next up : Anders Behring Breivik, enjoy my 9/11 post from last year, cause I've been hearing that we're "taking over." Remember dhimmis, I want that jizya in gold.

Salaam brother and a belated Eid Mubarak to you too. jazakallah khayran for linking to me - I've put up a post to catch those visiting explaining where to go for resources.
I saw that 30 days thing on the Ahmadiyya, quite depressing really, the amount of knowledge these people seek to make fatwas from is minuscule, in inverse proportion to their desire to promulgate their under-researched bullshit.
As usual, your post is dynamite. masha'Allah

Form 101: Leg Movements
This segment focuses on elements of the leg movement that lengthen the running stride and increase turnover for faster running, and that promote comfortable, injury-free running.
Tags: high school, form
- Take off and land on the midfoot or the balls of the feet. Avoid landing flat-footed, on the heels, or way up on the tiptoes.
- Run lightly on the feet, almost springy, and as quietly as possible. Avoiding pounding or plodding.
- Land with the foot and knee pointed in the same direction the body is traveling.
- Avoid leg collapse, the sinking of the hips and knees as the feet strike the ground. The head and hips should stay relatively level over the course of the stride.
- Actively paw the ground upon landing and push off quickly with each step. Avoid scuffing the feet or having passive landings.
- Extend the ankle, knee, and hip joints upon take-off.
- Lift the foot toward the butt quickly after pushing off the ground.
- Drive the knees forward and upward as the legs swing forward. This does not mean to lift the knee straight up – the ideal knee lift feels more like driving the knee forward.
- Pull the toes toward the shins (also known as dorsiflexing the ankle) as the leg swings forward and prepares to land. When the foot is under the knee the foot should be parallel to the ground.
- Choose a stride length that feels natural and comfortable. Ideally, the feet should land directly beneath the hips or as close to it as possible. Avoid under-striding or taking short choppy steps, and avoid over-striding where the foot lands well in front of the body.
Additional Points:
- The components of a longer and faster stride will be exaggerated when sprinting as compared to distance running. Distance runners still want to develop the capacity to run faster, but they need to balance speed with endurance.
- The best way to safely increase stride length and stride rate is by focusing on specific elements of the stride outlined above.
- Look at the activities featured in Running Start for exercises that will help runners incorporate these essentials into their running stride.

Diabetes Research Institute Foundation Appoints Natalie Geary, M.D., Executive Vice President
By: PR Newswire
Jan. 2, 2013 02:02 PM
HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Jan. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Diabetes Research Institute Foundation is pleased to announce the appointment of Natalie Geary, M.D., as executive vice president. She will be based in the organization's national headquarters, located at 200 South Park Road, Suite 100, Hollywood, FL, 33021, and is responsible for the Foundation's strategic planning operations, major gift development and donor relationship management.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130102/DC35828)
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120405/DC83112LOGO)
Dr. Geary has extensive public health and medical experience that spans the globe. Having served a broad range of patient populations from Mumbai to Miami, she brings a unique set of skills as both a physician and a development professional to this newly-created position. She was most recently chief patient experience officer at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine's UHealth system, where she directed the highly-successful concierge services program. Through that executive role, Dr. Geary became highly familiar with the cure-focused work of the Diabetes Research Institute, a Center of Excellence at UM's medical school.
"This is an opportunity to be part of a mission to cure a debilitating disease. The DRIF provides great hope for families suffering from a medical crisis. As a pediatrician, I am especially honored to be part of the team of brilliant scientists, dedicated physicians and committed supporters," said Dr. Geary. "I look forward to watching the cure become a reality and am thrilled to be part of such a critical effort."
Dr. Geary began her career three decades ago in the field of medical anthropology, then in its infancy, and focused on improving healthcare delivery to underserved communities in third-world countries and in the U.S. Her desire to improve the health of children, in particular, led her to New Mexico, one of the poorest states in America, where she founded a non-profit organization called Mobile Pediatrics that provides health care, vaccines and health education to underprivileged children.
Originally from New York, she subsequently returned to New York City to open a large private medical practice before relocating to Miami in 2011.
A board-certified physician, Dr. Geary earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology from Harvard College, attended the pre-medical program at Columbia University, and received her medical degree from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She completed her residency in Pediatrics at New York University Medical Center and also attended Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
In addition to her vast medical background, she has held numerous appointments on many international health committees and non-profit organizations and is recipient of several grant awards. She resides in Miami with her 6-year-old daughter, Addie. Her two older daughters, Isabelle and Lily, attend Harvard University.
"We are very excited and fortunate to have Dr. Geary join us at the DRI Foundation, particularly at a time when our researchers are on the cusp of so many promising breakthroughs. Her extensive medical experience, understanding of the philanthropic community and compassion for patients is a rare combination of skills that will be a great asset to our work in supporting the Diabetes Research Institute," said Robert A. Pearlman, president and CEO of the DRI Foundation. "We all look forward to working with her to spearhead a number of special fundraising projects."
The mission of the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation is to provide the Diabetes Research Institute with the funding necessary to cure diabetes now. The Diabetes Research Institute, a center of excellence at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, leads the world in cure-focused research. As the largest and most comprehensive research center dedicated to curing diabetes, the DRI is aggressively working to shrink the timeline toward the discovery of a biological cure for this disease. Having already shown that diabetes can be reversed through islet transplantation, the DRI is building upon these promising outcomes by bridging cell-based therapies with emerging technologies. The Diabetes Research Institute was created for one reason – to cure diabetes – which is and will continue to be its singular focus until that goal is reached. For the millions of people affected by diabetes, the DRI is the best hope for a cure. For more information, visit DiabetesResearch.org.

Sebastian Vettel took pole position for the United States Grand Prix after edging out Lewis Hamilton for pole position by 0.109s. His title rival Fernando Alonso will start from eighth on the grid.
Vettel looked dominant throughout, but the McLaren gave him a run for his money as the drivers completed several laps on the medium tyres to get them up to temperature during the ten minute Q3 session. Mark Webber was third fastest but over 0.5s off his Red Bull team-mate by the end of the session. Webber may also face repercussions after being called in front of the stewards having missed a weigh check during Q1.
Romain Grosjean qualified fourth fastest but will start from ninth due to a five-place grid penalty for a gearbox change after final practice. Kimi Raikkonen will therefore start fourth ahead of Michael Schumacher, Felipe Massa and Nico Hulkenberg.
Alonso appeared to struggle to gain tyre temperature throughout the session and aborted his penultimate run to try and get some heat into his tyres. He was ninth fastest overall but will start eighth with Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado creating a heady mix on the row just behind him.
Jenson Button will start from 12th on the grid behind Bruno Senna after the McLaren suffered a loss of power midway through the second session and crawled back to the pits. The team briefly tried to solve the issue in the pit lane before rolling Button back into the pits at about the same time his time was knocked out of the top ten. Paul di Resta will start 13th ahead of Jean-Eric Vergne, Sergio Perez, Kamui Kobayashi and Nico Rosberg. Rosberg's time was particularly disappointing after he showed some impressive pace in practice. The session also saw Schumacher hold up Alonso at one point, with the Ferrari driver waving his hands in the air and complaining over the radio. An investigation may follow.
Daniel Ricciardo was the midfield casualty in Q1 after Rosberg narrowly scraped through by 0.252s. Yellow flags for Narain Karthikeyan's stricken HRT didn't help those trying to improve in the closing stages of the session, but it was a closer call than Mercedes would have liked. In a slight change in the form, the Marussias will line up ahead of the Caterhams, with the HRTs making up the final row.

INTERPOL Notices are international requests for cooperation or alerts allowing police in member countries to share critical crime-related information.
Notices are published by INTERPOL's General Secretariat at the request of National Central Bureaus (NCBs) and authorized entities, and can be published in any of the Organization's official languages: Arabic, English, French and Spanish.
In the case of Red Notices, the persons concerned are wanted by national jurisdictions for prosecution or to serve a sentence based on an arrest warrant or court decision. INTERPOL's role is to assist the national police forces in identifying and locating these persons with a view to their arrest and extradition or similar lawful action.
In addition, Notices are used by the United Nations, International Criminal Tribunals and the International Criminal Court to seek persons wanted for committing crimes within their jurisdiction, notably genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
Types of Notice
Red Notice
To seek the location and arrest of wanted persons with a view to extradition or similar lawful action.
Yellow Notice
To help locate missing persons, often minors, or to help identify persons who are unable to identify themselves.
Blue Notice
To collect additional information about a person's identity, location or activities in relation to a crime.
Black Notice
To seek information on unidentified bodies.
Green Notice
To provide warnings and intelligence about persons who have committed criminal offences and are likely to repeat these crimes in other countries.
Orange Notice
To warn of an event, a person, an object or a process representing a serious and imminent threat to public safety.
INTERPOL–United Nations Security Council Special Notice
Issued for groups and individuals who are the targets of UN Security Council Sanctions Committees.
Purple Notice
To seek or provide information on modi operandi, objects, devices and concealment methods used by criminals.
Only those notices approved for public dissemination appear on this website (the full list of Notices is available to authorized users via INTERPOL's Information System).
Any individual who is subject to an INTERPOL Notice should be considered innocent until proven guilty.
Any unauthorized alteration of any portion of any INTERPOL Notice is considered as a violation and subject to legal prosecution.
Legal basis
A Notice is published only if it fulfils all conditions for processing the information. For example, a Notice will not be published if it violates Article 3 of the INTERPOL Constitution, which forbids the Organization from undertaking any intervention or activities of a political, military, religious or racial character.
Notices are processed in line with INTERPOL's Rules on the Processing of Data, which ensure the legality and quality of information, and the protection of personal data.
The legal basis for a Red Notice is an arrest warrant or court order issued by the judicial authorities in the country concerned. Many of INTERPOL's member countries consider a Red Notice to be a valid request for provisional arrest.
Furthermore, INTERPOL is recognized as an official channel for transmitting requests for provisional arrest in a number of bilateral and multilateral extradition treaties, including the European Convention on Extradition, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Convention on Extradition, and the United Nations Model Treaty on Extradition.
Similar to the Notice is another request for cooperation or alert mechanism known as a 'diffusion'. This is less formal than a notice but is also used to request the arrest or location of an individual or additional information in relation to a police investigation. A diffusion is circulated directly by an NCB to the member countries of their choice, or to the entire INTERPOL membership and is simultaneously recorded in INTERPOL's Information System.
