Smoky Mountains
Amazing Hiking In The NC Mountains
The North Carolina mountains provide a wide selection of trails for both the inexperienced and advanced hikers. The national forests in North Carolina provide over 1,200 miles of primarily foot trails. Included in these are seven National Recreation Trails and over 200 miles of the Appalachian Trail (AT). Additionally, coastal NC provides a unique landscape rich with nature trails for the adventure-seeker. Along Cape Fear Coast, the Fort Fisher State Recreation Park has several hiking trails including The Hermit Trail (.4 miles), The Basin Trail (1 mile) and The Marsh Trail (.6 miles). Jockey's Ridge, rising at 110 feet is the tallest active sand dune on the east coast and hikers can enjoy NC's coastal beauty and wildlife at Jockey's Ridge State Park in Nags Head.
Camping is permitted along all trails. The Appalachian Trail in the mountains has shelters at various locations for the convenience of campers. During the late spring and early fall these shelters are usually crowded; and they are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Hikers are encouraged to consider using some of the numerous other trails provided on the Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests.
A selection follows:

Linville Gorge (2,600 ft.)
One of Eastern America's most scenic and rugged gorges. It is also reputed to be the wildest and most treacherous area in the Blue Ridge, but the risks on the graded trails described here are no greater than elsewhere in the wilds of the Southern Appalachians. The area has been set aside as a wilderness by the US Forest Service. Babel Tower Trail begins at sign on E side of old NC 105, 2.8 mi. S from NC 183. The trail descends into gorge and follows Linville River down to: (a) Sandy Flats Trail, primitive, which climbs W side of gorge precipitously back to old NC 105; and (b) Conley Cove Trail, which climbs W side of gorge on graded path back to old NC 105. None of these is a circle trip, but NC 105 can be followed back to starting point 1 mi. from end of (a) for 2.9 mi from end of (b). The combination of Babel Tower Trail and Conley Cove Trail makes a hike of 8 mi. Before starting into gorge, it is desirable to drive to Wiseman's View recreation site on old NC 105, 1.5 mi. S of start of Babel Tower Trail. Here the gorge can be scanned from overlook which orient the hiker. Moderate 8 mi hike with camping.
Mt. Mitchell (6,684 ft.)

In 7 min, arrive first observation point on cliffs. Walk N as far as desired along edge of cliffs on tiny trail through rhododendron, laurel, and sand myrtle. Moderate 5-7 mile roundtrip. Camping.
Shut-In National Trail (5,000 ft)
The Shut-In Trail follows the historic route built by George Vanderbilt from the French Broad River to his Buck Springs hunting lodge. It was probably named for the many rhododendron thickets through which it passes. Beginning at the NC 191 off-ramp of the BR Pkwy. It parallels and criss-crosses the Pkwy to the Mt. Pisgah parking area, near mile post 408. The trail offers a moderately strenuous climb from 2,000 ft to 5,000 ft along its 16.3 mile length. It is part of North Carolina's Mountain-To-Sea Trail.

German producer price inflation eased to its lowest level in more than two years in July amid a fall in production costs for electricity and intermediate goods, a report from the Federal Statistical Office showed Friday.
Pipeline inflation eased to 0.9 percent from 1.6 percent in June. Economists had expected the rate to ease to 1.2 percent in July. The figure slowed for the fourth month in a row.
That was the lowest rate of inflation since May 2010, when the PPI rose at the same pace. A lower inflation rate was last recorded in April 2010, when the index was up 0.6 percent.
Electricity prices declined 5.2 percent on an annual basis, while production costs of intermediate goods dropped 0.3 percent. Energy, capital goods and consumer goods industries recorded an increase in producer prices during the month, putting some upward pressure on the overall PPI.
Excluding energy prices, the producer price inflation came to 0.6 percent.
Compared to June, the producer price index remained unchanged against the forecast for a 0.3 percent rise. In June, the index recorded a 0.4 percent fall. Stripping off energy, prices declined 0.2 percent in July.
Price pressures in the biggest euro area economy has remained generally weak. Inflation, as measured by the harmonized index of consumer prices, eased to 1.9 percent in July from 2 percent in June, according to official data released earlier this month.
The European Central Bank has maintained that there is no threat of inflation in any of euro area economies at present. The German economy grew 0.3 percent quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter supported mainly by final consumption expenditure and net exports. GDP rose 0.5 percent in the first quarter.

You could try it with the cable between PCB and PC but not between PCB and receiver, there will probably be too much disturbances.
I would not recommend to use a cable that long between PC and UIRT, it can work but will it be reliable? The best solution would be to convert the UIRT signals to proper RS232 using a MAX232 or equivalent.

Mine has the ability Inner Focus. It knows:
Future Sight: Used to attack foe later.
Swift: Decent damage, doesn't miss, STAB, takes advantage of Girafarig's higher Sp. Attack.
Baton Pass: Gives next Pokemon increased Speed.
Agility: Increases Speed for Baton Pass.
Girafarig learnset
Girafarig is best suited as a baton passer. My recommendation is this:
Calm Mind (Pass this with Baton Pass.)
Thunder Wave (If you're gonna switch out with Baton Pass, you may as well annoy the opponent. :P)
Future Sight (Baton Pass the turn before this activates. Switch in a Pokemon you know will wall the opponent, then you get a cheap shot in with Future Sight! A truly dirty, yet effective technique.)
Baton Pass (Your flawless getaway while your opponent lies in doom of Future Sight, and can barely move due to paralysis. Passing Special boosts form Calm Mind is just a bonus!)
Girafarig has an acceptable amount of bulk, so it can survive in battle long enough to set up this little strategy. Be sure to paralyze the opponent before attempting anything, otherwise, you're risking being outsped by some threatening opponents.
Psychic- Good power, STAB, special attack
Agility- good for BP
Baton pass- deadly move
shadow ball/Energy ball- good attack good power, special

Girafarig (M) @ Focus Sash

Girafarig (M) @ ???
There you are !! use the first 2 moves 2-3 times, then Baton Pass! Psych Up is not totally necessary, use a recovering or damaging move or substitute will be nice to help you set them up......
anyway, hope this helped :)

LONDON -- Her dad cried Monday night. So did her mom. Even her coach welled up over what they had just witnessed, Missy Franklin, the new pride of American swimming, becoming an Olympic gold medalist for the first time.
Dick Franklin, Missy's father, is a big hulking ex-Canadian football player. He hadn't cried in a long time, he said. When was the last time?
"The day she was born," he said.
On that day, 17 years ago, Dick never thought he'd one day stare down from the Olympic Aquatics Centre and see his daughter listen to the national anthem with a gold medal around her neck. Frankly, neither did his daughter.
Not now. Not after Missy recently finished her junior year of high school in Colorado.
"I can't even put into words," a beaming Franklin said afterward. "It was absolutely indescribable. After thinking about it and imagining it for so long, it doesn't seem real. It really doesn't. You think about it so often you feel like you're dreaming.
"I still feel like someone needs to pinch me."
She needed to pinch the other swimmers. Were they dreaming, or did they really see this 17-year-old girl roar from behind to win the 100-meter backstroke and break the American record with a 58.33-second time shortly after swimming a 200-meter freestyle semifinal?
Yes, they did. Franklin's remarkable feat will go down in American swimming lore. She qualified eighth for Tuesday night's 200 freestyle final, jumped out of the pool,
Afterward, one of teammates came up to her, gave her a high-five and said the least amount of time he's had between Olympic swims was 30 minutes.
"I can't believe you just did that!" Michael Phelps told her.
Neither did her parents.
"We couldn't believe it," said her mom, D.A. "The 100 back isn't even her event. It's the 200 back. She feels she gets stronger the longer the race. If there was a 400 back, no one would ever touch her."
Franklin trailed much of the race but surged to the finish to edge Australia's Emily Seebohm, second at 58.68. Seebohm came in red hot. She had broken the Olympic record in Sunday morning's prelims with a 58.23 then blazed to a 58.39 in the semis. Franklin, who had the best time in the world entering the meet at 58.85, was suddenly the hunter instead of the hunted. And Seebohm had rested all day.
"That's Missy," her coach, Todd Schmitz, said. "She's wired a little differently than everybody else."
Franklin started as if swimming the 200 freestyle was the worst decision of her life. Her start in the backstroke was horrific. After 25 meters, she stood seventh. And Seebohm, in the lead, was cooking.
"You really can't have those moments in swimming, but swimming is so mental," Franklin said. "You have to just know you can do it. You have to have faith in yourself. If you have those moments, honestly, you have to keep telling yourself you can do it."
Always a strong closer, Franklin cut a swath to the first wall. She made the turn in second in 28.82. But Seebohm turned in 28.57.
Franklin, swimming in lane five, caught Seebohm, in lane four, with about 25 meters left and hit the wall at 58.33, breaking Natalie Coughlin's 2008 U.S. record of 58.94.
On the victory stand, Franklin wasn't in much better shape -- but for a different reason.
"I was trying to sing, but I was crying at the same time," Franklin said. "Then I forgot the words, but I didn't know what I was doing. But just seeing that flag being raised it was so incredibly unbelievable, I could never have dreamed it would feel like that."
She now has a bronze and a gold and five events left to swim. The record for most Olympic medals by an American woman is Coughlin's six in Beijing. Franklin has two more relays, the 200 and 100 freestyle and finally, her best event, the 200 backstroke.

Five new plays to see this week
Chicago theater gets busy this week with a number of big new shows opening, including the Broadway-bound Big Fish and Quiara Alegría Hudes's follow-up to last year's Pulitzer Prize winner. Here's a guide to five top new plays.
Big Fish Oriental Theatre Opens April 19. On his deathbed, a father tells his son tall tales about his past that may or may not have actually happened. Audiences can decide for themselves at this new Broadway-bound musical adaptation by Andrew Lippa and John August starring two-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz.
The Happiest Song Plays Last Goodman Theatre. Opens April 22. Two lost soulmates find each other through the magic of Puerto Rican jíbaro music in this new drama by Pulitzer Prize winner Quiara Alegría Hudes.
Pal Joey Porchlight Music Theatre. Opens April 23. Porchlight Music Theatre artistic director Michael Weber and music director Doug Peck team up for Rodgers and Hart's Chicago-set 1940 musical, featuring such songs as "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" and "Zip." Adrian Aguilar plays the charmingly caddish title role.
Still Alice Lookingglass Theatre Company. Opens April 20. Lisa Genova's novel about a woman living with Alzheimer's disease is brought to the stage by Lookingglass ensemble member Christine Mary Dunford.
Yellow Moon Writers' Theatre. Opens April 24. David Greig (The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart) tells the story of two teenage Scottish outlaws through lyrical narration in his 2006 drama.
Andrew Volkoff named About Face Theatre artistic director
About Face Theatre, the 17-year-old LGBT-focused theater company, has named Andrew Volkoff to succeed the outgoing Bonnie Metzgar as artistic director.
Volkoff, a Milwaukee native, has served as associate artistic director at Barrington Stage Company in Massachusetts and New York's Genesius Theatre Group. He'll be formally introduced at About Face's annual Wonka Ball benefit April 26. In a statement, he indicated intentions to expand the About Face Youth Theatre program, as well as to find the itinerant company a permanent home.
Metzgar, who's stepping down after five seasons, has said she hopes to remain in Chicago. As her final act as artistic director, she'll stage the Chicago premiere of Alexi Kaye Campbell's The Pride, to run June 6–July 13 at Victory Gardens; Patrick Andrews, John Francisco, Benjamin Sprunger and Jessie Fisher will star.
Let Them Eat Chaos at the Second City | Live review
Bring your passport to Let Them Eat Chaos. In the Second City's 101st Mainstage revue, an ensemble consisting of veteran performers Edgar Blackmon, Holly Laurent, Katie Rich and Steve Waltien and Mainstage newcomers Ross Bryant and Tawny Newsome leaves Chicago behind in favor of a space- and time-bending revue that loops in Vienna circa 1819, the opening of the Panama Canal, the distant future and more. If Grant Achatz attends the show, it will inspire at least a dozen new menu ideas for his restaurant Next.
Let Them Eat Chaos crackles with new ideas and spirited risks. Gone is the musical number that typically opens a Mainstage revue; left in its place is a stripped-down, improvised scene in which the ensemble takes turns playing the same character. It's a simple scene and it'd be easy to call it underwhelming were it not so true to the kinds of openings encouraged by gurus like Del Close, designed to warm up an ensemble and enhance group mind at the beginning of an improv show. The nature of the opening might even change from night to night. You may have to see this show more than once.
Lots of ideas are bandied about. We are living in a very strange time, Newsome's time-traveler proclaims in an early scene. We're also living in a busy one, as demonstrated by a woman so self-absorbed she hits major milestones in life (marriage, sex, childbirth) while so consumed by text messaging she never once looks up from her phone.
It was the scenes set in distant lands that captivated the most, including a sailor answering a siren's call, a telenovela-like exchange between a Central American poet and his illegitimate daughter, and banter between an American and Scottish soldier set against a backdrop of rubble and intermittent explosions in the European Theater of World War II. I'm not sure the Mainstage has ever strayed this far from ubiquitous mayor jokes, relationship scenes between thirtysomethings and impressions of South Siders. It was a welcome departure.
The set design makes these faraway landscapes possible. A curtain, so fiery red it will burn your retinas, is the only attention grabber on an otherwise threadbare stage. But this relatively blank canvas allows director Matt Hovde and his design team to create vivid backdrops that transport the audience from the high seas to deep space to a dream version of Chicago with the push of a button.
There are plenty of moments in which each ensemble member puts his or her best self forward, but to single out one would diminish the rest; that's not how you review an ensemble-based show. Suffice it to say I liked them most when they were given new muscles to flex. In an Act II standout, for example, a group of first graders are pressed with the challenge of drawing pictures based on an audience suggestion (in this instance, popcorn). The scene was one of the evening's biggest gut-busters thanks to the original interpretations each ensemble member produced.
There were also times when the material hewed close to formula. In a musical number, Newsome and Laurent take the NRA's grating and persistent claim that more guns are the solutions to America's problems to its logical extreme. It's joyous but also familiar territory. Ditto a number between Blackmon and Bryant that illustrates the stark differences between a black and white rapper.
If Let Them Eat Chaos falls short anywhere, it's in the lack of anarchy suggested by the revue's title. "Chaos is the nature of the universe," says a character in an early scene. That might not be what the visiting masses want to hear when they visit the Second City, but I'll take it anytime.
Pivot Multi-Arts Festival coming to Uptown and Edgewater in June
Pivot Arts, a recently launched organization with the mission of fostering the arts on Chicago's far North Side, will play host to a multidisciplinary arts festival to take place in a number of nontraditional venues in Uptown and Edgewater in June.
The Pivot Multi-Arts Festival will present a blend of music, dance and theater June 6–22, in such locales as Senn High School, Francesca's Bryn Mawr, the former Essanay Studios building on Argyle Street and the onetime vaudeville theater (and most recently a TCF Bank branch) at 1050 W Wilson Ave. Presenters will include the likes of Molly Shanahan/Mad Shak Dance Company, Mucca Pazza, the Neo-Futurists, Theater Oobleck and Manual Cinema. See pivotarts.org for a full schedule.
Steppenwolf sets slate for First Look Repertory
Steppenwolf Theatre Company today announced the lineup for this summer's eighth annual First Look Repertory of New Work, to be presented in its Garage theater. They include Edith Freni's family drama Buena Vista, set in an isolated Colorado cabin; Aaron Carter's The Gospel of Franklin, about a devout man who loves to witness to his factory coworkers but needs saving himself; and Janine Nabers's Annie Bosh is Missing, a portrait of a troubled young woman navigating the post-Katrina Gulf Coast in search of her estranged father.
The three plays run in rep July 29–August 25. The lineup will also include free readings of three additional works during Steppenwolf's Professionals' Weekend, August 8–11: Tempo, by Mike Batistick; Your Name Will Follow You Home, by Carlos Murillo; and Barbecue, by Robert O'Hara. Tickets go on sale Friday at 11am.
Lookingglass Theatre Company's 2013–14 season announced
Lookingglass Theatre Company has announced plans for its 2013–14 season, beginning with a new adaptation of Marguerite Duras's The North China Lover, written and directed by Heidi Stillman (September 25–November 10).
In the winter, David Catlin will direct Rick Cummins and John Scoullar's stage version of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince (December 4–February 2). The season closes with the world premiere of Sara Gmitter's In the Garden: A Darwinian Love Story, about the romance between Charles Darwin and his future wife, Emma Wedgwood. Jessica Thebus directs (April 16–June 15).
Interrobang Theatre Project's 2013–14 season
Interrobang Theatre Project, one of Chicago's most promising young theater companies, has announced plans for its fourth season, to be presented entirely at the Athenaeum Theatre. The 2013–14 slate opens with a new production of Mark O'Rowe's Terminus, a collection of interlocking monologues that was previously seen in a 2011 performance by Dublin's Abbey Theatre at the Museum of Contemporary Art. Interrobang's production will star Christina Hall, Michaela Petro and Kevin Barry Crowley (September 12–October 6).
That's followed in the new year by The Pitchfork Disney, the surreal, dark fairy tale by Mercury Fur playwright Philip Ridley that's credited with kickstarting the "in-yer-face" era of British drama. The cast is set to include Andrew Goetten, Aislinn Kerchaer, Mark Lancaster and Josh Salt (February 6–March 2). Both Terminus and The Pitchfork Disney will be directed by Jeffry Stanton. The season closes with a new adaptation of Ibsen's A Doll's House by Chicago playwright Calamity West, directed by James Yost (May 8–June 8); casting remains to be announced.
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago announces 2013–14 season
In the midst of a 35th anniversary year that's seen performances of Mats Ek's brilliant Casi-Casa, Alejandro Cerrudo's monumental One Thousand Pieces, and the one-of-a-kind collaboration between HSDC and Alonzo King's LINES Ballet this spring, Hubbard Street has announced its 2013–14 lineup. The focus for season 36: Hubbard Street's international Fab Five, with additional surprises in the mix.
October 10–13, former HSDC dancer and rising choreographer Robyn Mineko Williams presents a new work for the company, along with Ek's Casi-Casa and Ohad Naharin's Passomezzo. Rounding out the programs is the "Compass" quintet from Alonzo King's AZIMUTH.
The winter program, December 12–15, features an encore presentation of Cerrudo's deftly crafted One Thousand Pieces, the company's first evening-length work, set to music by Philip Glass and using members of the main company and dancers from Hubbard Street 2.
March 13–16, it's all about two-time Prix Benois de la Danse–winner Jirí Kylián. The bill includes two premieres for HSDC: Sarabande—set for an all-male ensemble—and Falling Angels for an all-female cast of eight. Returning fare: the enigmatic 27'52'' and the sensuous audience-favorite Petite Mort.
Season 36 concludes June 5–8, with Nacho Duato's Gnawa, created for the company in 2005, and William Forsythe's daring Quintett. Capping things off is a world premiere from resident choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo, his 13th for the company.
As usual, all performances happen at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance (205 E Randolph Dr).
Subscriptions to season 36 are available beginning April 9. Single-ticket availability will be announced at a later date. For more info, contact the Hubbard Street Box Office at 312-850-9774, or visit hubbardstreetdance.com/36.
Humana Festival of New American Plays 2013 | Gnit, O Guru Guru Guru and Cry Old Kingdom
Gnit, the last play I saw Sunday afternoon at the 37th Humana Festival, is classic Will Eno. By that, I mean I was thrilled by it, but another critic seated in front of me loudly declared it "shit" before walking out at intermission. The premiere is helmed by Actors Theatre of Louisville artistic director Les Waters, who directed Eno's similarly divisive Middletown at Steppenwolf in 2011. Eno's latest is a loose comic adaptation of Ibsen's unwieldy Peer Gynt, itself based on Norwegian folklore. Ibsen's Peer is the son of a man ruined by his indulgences, who rather than face his own reality and responsibilities travels the world aimlessly in search of meaning. Eno's Peter Gnit (Dan Waller) is similarly abdicative; he explains the origin of his surname as being a typo the family just came to accept.

Adsmarket's media activity with online games has been growing rapidly for the
past year. This is due to two main reasons:
1. Great growth in this online field & user's awareness.
2. A combined synergy between these applications & Affiliates/Publishers.
I wanted to share with you a fast-growing media channel that you MUST use or at
least try, for your upcoming campaign – Virtual Currency. (If you don't know much
about virtual currency yet, I won't go into it here, but two sites I like explain it really
well. Click here or here.)
A lot of online games providers (either developers or publishers) have been offering
their users Virtual Currency because it is a simple and user-friendly way to spend
money online as a part of the gaming experience. It is also a very targeted media
source, as many affiliates and publishers offer Virtual Currency to their users via
social media applications, MMO applications, portals, etc.
Many of my clients are resistant to opening their campaign to Virtual Currency, but
once they understand the potential for them the reservations become a thing of the
No matter what kind of games you are promoting; Skill games, Casual Games,
MMO, MMORPG, virtual currency is a proven source of positive ROI.
You guys think I am just trying sell something? From Google:
"Virtual Worlds Forecast to Grow at 23% through 2015 – Micro transactions
expected to grow to $17.3 billion by 2015."
"While virtual goods have been driving revenues in Asia and Europe for
years, 2009 will be remembered as the year virtual goods-based businesses began to
scale in the United States. Virtual goods may be bringing the largest disruption
entertainment, communication, and e-commerce infrastructure companies have seen
for a long time."
Now, tell me you don't want some of that money in your pocket…
This is the perfect opportunity to be open to change, modify your business model, and make
more money! I've learned time and time again how dynamic the online advertising industry is,
and it certainly pays to be flexible. If you are not open to that, stop reading now. Otherwise,
let's get down to business.
So, how can virtual currency contribute to your online campaigns? The answer is very simple:
The right attitude and good campaign management, starting with knowing how to evaluate
your revenue stream. To calculate this you will simply need the data below (and a bit more)
- Current number of active & paying users.
- Average amount a user spends per country/application/game.
- Amount paid to acquire new users – in terms of media buying & the above.
- Conversion ratio from a registered user to a paying user. (as a unit of time)
- Average user lifetime.
This data will show you a general picture regarding the revenue you are producing from the
Case Study:
You have 10,000 registered users on your site, out of which 10% are a becoming paying
users spending $1.00 per month (after an average of two months from the day they
registered). Average user lifetime here is about 6 months.
If the above is correct, once the campaign is live two months from now, this site will
be generating 10K per month (not including media selling and other services etc) and
possibly more. What are our expenses using traditional media sources such as
Banners, Paid Search, or Pop up/under? Costs can average around $1.00, if not
more.This is the point where added value of Virtual Currency kicks in: higher
volumes with potential to increase your revenue.
Bottom Line: Using Virtual Currency will provide you around 5%-3% in
terms of paying users – however, you will also pay half, if not less, per user. -
That's an additional 3K-5K per month!
Look at your Facebook profile; how many kisses have you sent lately? How many
vegetables are you growing? When was your last big win playing Texas holdem?
Many of us are already a part of the virtual currency wave as participants. Look
what may happen to Zynga! we can only learn and make more money!

Ok, this might seem a bit silly, and perhaps it is, but there's something to this. Really.
First of all, let me clarify, I do not diet. Nor do I believe they work or are even good for you. I am one of those firm believers in "don't diet, just change your lifestyle" kinda thinking. So that said, this is not a "diet." This is actually a simple lifestyle change ANYONE can do. I am absolutely certain it will work to help you look and feel better about your body, and also give you an overall feeling of health, joy, and contentment.
I recently read about "Mindful Eating," and I was completely inspired to do it! Here's the bottom line…
Your mind is incredible. The roll and power your emotions and feelings have on your physical body is undeniable and remarkable. (Just go look up the effects stress can have on your physical body!) So, the emotion and energy you cook and eat your food with plays a huge role in how your body accepts and uses the food. You've heard the saying, "you are what you eat," right? So, if you are eating with love, your body will use that nutrition with love, creating, at an energetic level, contentment, peace, and love. If you cook and eat out of anxiety, rush, anger, or sorrow your food will also take on that energy and your body with not utilize the nutrition of the food in its best way.
Want to know more? Ok, keep reading, here it is:
Mindful Eating and Cooking by the Wholehearted Mind: (full article here)
For starts, let's assume everyone reading this is a nutrition expert. We know What to eat, for the most part.
The function of food is simple and as follows:
Good, clean food ->improves assimilation -> increases energy -> improves digestion ->eliminates constipation – > makes you sexy. In that order.
Now, picture this:
Licking Nutella off the spoon, exiting out the door, shoving an energy bar, bursting with antioxidant and all… busy, no? Picking out leftovers from a child's plate, after ranting at them for not eating. Loud bossing in general, instant opinion about how horrible the food's going to taste. Watching TV, reading email. Getting up for seconds, thirds, or fourths? Still hungry? Looking at the ice cream tub at midnight?
When my energy sags, skin flakes (or worse), or weight see-saws, I agonize over my "healthy" eating plan, haul the best of the weight-loss books, visit websites, re-analyze, make plans, create lists, buy more "organic" food and agonize all over again. What was amiss? Then I recalled this:
When my spiritual teacher visited us in 2010, I ate ravenously, fully and completely. The meals were prepared at home, with much love and affection. We shared a meal and a prayer. We talked, we laughed, we appreciated the delectable setting on the table. Five days of merriment, good meals, and loads of energy. When he left, I found that I had dropped five pounds, my skin glowed and I had forgotten to wear make-up.
Was it how I ate that made all the difference?
Picture this:
Pancakes at breakfast : 1 egg, a scoop of whole whey concentrate, 1 tablespoon of organic gluten-free pancake mix, a tablespoon of chia seeds, fresh organic blueberries. Perfect. Yes? Aha..
Now picture this:
Me: shouting loudly at the kids: "Come down your breakfast's getting cold"- Adrenaline rush, cortisol rising, adipose forming – where's the lion*? Then, flipping a pancake and stuffing a piece in my mouth, wondering if I can down another cup of coffee before dropping off the kids to school. Liver imbalance, bile thickened, sluggish intestine – where's the sexy?
*The body has just moved into a flight-or-fight response. In that instant. If there was a lion in the kitchen, I would have attempted to run away, and perhaps not added on adipose (fat).
(Ok, me again… I'll be interjecting my own thoughts through this). Being a mom, I can totally relate to this. How many times do I finish my meal and realize I haven't tasted any of it. You know what I'm talking about!
So here's the things she lists to help you achieve a more mindful meal:
SIT and SET
1) Find a place to sit down. Even if I'm licking jelly off a spoon.
2) Use a bowl, plate and cup combo. Place the entire meal within this three-piece setting.
3) Sit comfortably. Don't read further. STOP – Do this now..Relax your shoulders, gently release the tension in your neck by moving it. Breathe calmly and soften your belly. Relax your jaw. Ok – good. Continue reading. You have just set the hormones in the right mood to assist your digestion.
LOOK and FEEL
4) While seated, survey the food with all five senses. Will this be enough? Take a super-educated guess without using your brain. Feel it. Yes, No? Will I need seconds? Of which item? Do not say, "Maybe." This is so, so important. Maybe means you are thinking too much and not listening to the signals from your body.
5) Nix distractions.
6) Place my hands around the food. Thank and bless the food. A simple affirmation, "May this be meal be satisfying and nourishing." "May this food be healing."
7) Eat happily. Need a second helping? Yes? Love yourself anyway.
Do just this, and nothing else, without worrying about what to eat. (for now; this is working counter to the norm. Become skillful in the "how" and then the "what")
If you are trying this out for the first time, start with just one meal, whether it is a huge dinner or a small orange, and do all steps for a whole week, slowly extending it to all you eat. Create your own special routine.
So I would like to add something else I've incorporated into it. I have been more conscience about COOKING with LOVE. And by that I mean I've done everything from thinking how beautiful the food is, to giving little prayers of gratitude for the food I'm preparing, and also smiling while I'm stirring. I've even started saying good things to my food I'm making. Sound silly? Yes, it probably is. But I feel good and happy as I am sending good energy into the food and creating an atmosphere for my body to accept the food the best way.
So does it work you ask? Actually, I've been pleasantly surprised. I've been doing this "mindful eating and cooking with love" thing for about two weeks now. I haven't changed what I eat or how much even. I just changed the way I eat and cook the food by being more conscience, mindful and happy. And the good news is… my body is definitely trimming down. I now fit into my pre-pregnancy pants that I haven't fit in in over a year. Kinda amazing stuff this mindful eating is… I'm thinking I'm going to keep going with it.
Do something new and different. Try it out. Let me know how it works for you and how you feel.

Customer Reviews for Mares Sten Mini Rigged Speargun..: See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 12 reviews. Rating: Mares mini mini Reviewer: Rebecca Holloway, The perfect tool for pickin up those flounder while scalloping i did lose the loader on first use so dont keep it in the handel just get one with a lanyard or put one on it.instructions are tricky but not too bad.and the leg holster not tight enough i guess everyone in italy must be fat cause im not a small guy eaither.other than that i like it, best used for flounder its accurate up to 6 feet and i fish warm saltwater. Did this Review help? Yes No 137 out of 270 people found this review helpful. Rating: Best Speargun Ever Created! Reviewer: Richard Ryan, - View all my reviews The Mares Mini Speargun is one of the easiest, most powerful spearguns I have ever used. It is lightweight enough to be held in one hand for extensive diving, and small enough to shoot a spear into a rocky hideout, yet powerful enough to hit a fish from 10 feet and knock it down. I shot a 29 pound lingcod with this speargun, and it brought the fish down with a well-placed shot. The way the speargun is set up directly from Scuba.com is also nice. Took me about 30 minutes to set it up, and I used it the next day! Perfect! The reloader is a bit hard to use underwater, and it seems to me that there should be a better holster or keeper for it than just in the handle, where it can be lost when brushed against a rock or kelp. But overall, a great product. Did this Review help? Yes No 208 out of 397 people found this review helpful. Rating: Perfect size gun while lobstering Reviewer: steve swenson, For the past 26 years, I have been going to the keys for lobster season. We dive a few diffferent channels and carrying my rifle gun is not an option so Ive gone without. Man have I seen some huge fish!!!!! This gun is perfect for those drift dives and I dont have to swim by the monster hogfish anymore. The one thing I would suggest, is to purchase a stainless steel shaft and tip and keep the one that came with the gun as a spare. HAPPY HUNTING!!!! Did this Review help? Yes No 295 out of 504 people found this review helpful. Rating: perfect gun for those hard to reach spots Reviewer: Matt N., - View all my reviews small enough to get into those small caves and ledges but powerful enough to do so heavy damage at short range.Perfect travel gun and with its thigh holster its a great hands free diving experience until you need it. Did this Review help? Yes No 335 out of 693 people found this review helpful. Rating: Mares Mini Speargun Reviewer: Nevin Jenkins, This is a great product. I spearfish almost every week and it has been an asset in the rocks. It has a great deal of power however it is loud. Do not store the cocking device in the handle or you will lose it as I did and I had to make a new one. I put mine on my BC with a re-tractor.The instructions were fine no problem. Did this Review help? Yes No 315 out of 661 people found this review helpful. Rating: Extremely pleased Reviewer: Robert A., - View all my reviews i was pleasantly surprised when i recieved this speargun today. a few things for novice speargunners (like myself): - as youve seen this gun is operated pnumatically. however this doesnt mean that you have to "pump it" like a pellet gun every shot - the chamber is internal and it works much like a pogo stick works - so you push in the spear to "charge" up the pressure and lock the spear into place. a pump is included in the event that you begin to lose pressure over time. - assembly: the directions are vague - it is made in italy so for the english reader the instructions are not that good. however, i will try to let you know about the assembly. the first step is to assemble the line to the gun and the arrow. first, tie it off to the tip of the gun and second you place the arrow in the very end of the gun - your first instinct is to push in the arrow and you will find that there is considerable resistance. this is not necessary (and dangerous since youre not used to the gun yet). what you need to do is just let the line retaining ring on the spear slide to the base of the spear near the tip of the gun (which sits above the spring and a metal washer). before you tie off to the spear with the line youll need to the rubber "o" ring - which is called the shock reducer. the idea here is to tie off to separate ends of the o ring with the line but to leave about 4 inches of spare line in between the knots. after youve done this properly you will notice two things: 1) you can pull the line on the spear end and the o ring will stretch without making the line taught between the two knots and 2) you can then tie it off to the spear where the line will remain taut and hold itself into place because of the o ring stretching and holding the line taught. ( if you cant figure this out email me at ra9386(@t)yahoo(d0t)com ). after that all that is left to do is find an extra bit of string somewhere and tie off to the charging handle - the charging handle will then slide into the butt of the gun and the line will hang out so that you can easily retrieve it from inside the butt - thats it! theres no assembling the pump, etc. other things: the gun has a good weight, not too heavy but still a solid feel. the whole assembly is a nice short length and has open "iron" sites like a normal pistol would. the length of the line is more than enough for the speargun. the full range of the gun, arrow and line, with the arm extended is probably close to 12 feet. all in all im pleased with what ive received. im looking forward to testing it out next week. Did this Review help? Yes No 589 out of 1111 people found this review helpful. Rating: mini spear guns Reviewer: Richard Spooner, - View all my reviews prior to purchasing these spear guns i read the reviews and almost decided against them...reviews said they were difficult to assemble...i am glad i decided to buy them... wasnt that difficult...the holster that straps to your leg allows both hands to be free until you spot your prey... they are very accurate and easy to re-load...everyone @ scub.com was very courtious and helpful....i will definitly use your web site for my future purchases...thanks guys Did this Review help? Yes No 544 out of 1091 people found this review helpful. Rating: I like it but................ Reviewer: Mike Lane, - View all my reviews ...you basically need a phd to understand the assembly directions. Now Im a very techinical person, I love puzzles and Im also an avid spearfisherman and let me tell you that the directions provided are of no help! Very confusing. Other then that its a great product and I recommend it...........if you can put it together :) Did this Review help? Yes No 560 out of 1070 people found this review helpful. Rating: Mares Sten Blue Mini Reviewer: richard a., I recently purchased this product and in my opinion got a really nice mini spear gun that is air activated. It makes reloading a snap and not a hassle. It also looks pretty durable and I cant wait to use it this summer. Did this Review help? Yes No 469 out of 962 people found this review helpful. Rating: good little gun Reviewer: Ryan M., - View all my reviews This is a good little speargun. The compact size makes it very useful for hunting along the rocks or a reef. Did this Review help? Yes No 406 out of 880 people found this review helpful.

Learn how to survive the holiday season with your diet intact with tips from the creator of the Shredded Abs App - renowned celebrity trainer and fitness cover model Diego Sebastian.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 11, 2012
With the New Year rapidly approaching, 2012 isn't the only thing coming to an end. The arrival of the holiday season also marks the end of most people's diets. But those hoping to survive the holiday season with their diets intact have a new ally - the Shredded Abs app. Created by renowned celebrity trainer and fitness cover model Diego Sebastian, Shredded Abs puts a personal trainer inside of your smart phone.
Launching on December 15th, Shredded Abs contains detailed HD video instructions on everything from workouts to diet and nutrition. Unlike other fitness apps on the market, Shredded Abs consists of a high quality no nonsense approach to workouts by one of America's premiere personal trainers, Diego Sebastian.
The endless gatherings and get-togethers make the holiday season one of the toughest times of the year to start or stay on a diet, but Diego has a few suggestions for those hoping to survive the holidays with their diet intact:
"The most important thing is to not starve yourself, because then you'll only binge on party food. Eat small meals and sample everything, and go easy on the alcohol. The ideal holiday meal is turkey, no gravy, plenty of veggies and no stuffing. When I want to splurge, I'll have a slice of apple pie, but no ice cream."
And for those hitting the road this holiday season, Diego recommends taking along some resistance bands. "Bands are great for circuit training and overall body pump if you don't have access to a gym. There are so many different exercises you can do with them."
Aside from the gym, a major part of achieving Shredded Abs is adhering to a whole grain high protein diet. "70 percent of the battle is in what you eat, you can never out train a bad diet," says Diego. But for those who don't have time to cook Diego recommends a meal delivery service such as Battalion 4 Food that delivers gourmet meals prepared without the high amounts of sugar, fats, or sodium found in most restaurant meals.
Diego Sebastian is an internationally known personal trainer and fitness cover model. The Shredded Abs app will be available December 15th.
