What else are you doing to help?
At Assembly Label, we're not just striving to build a great business but to create a business that has a positive impact. We want to help make a difference through the products we make, the platform we have, and the community we create.
We're implementing a number of key initiatives across our business to reduce our environmental impact, which we're excited to share with you soon. In 2018, we made a move towards environmentally friendly packaging for our products made from 100% biodegradable material. Wherever possible, we try to minimise the amount of waste across our business and also provide reusable fabric tote bags rather than disposable shopping bags in all our stores.
We appreciate our customers being mindful of where their clothes are from and especially for caring about the welfare of those who make them. We're working towards delivering 100% transparency on our manufacturing processes, to provide information on where and how our garments are produced. Our founders and design team manage the production of our garments and take regular trips to our factories in China to connect with manufacturers and visit the factories making our products.
Looking to the future, our goal is to become a certified B Corporation, meaning that we obtain the highest standards of ethical measurement across all aspects of our business. However, we always welcome feedback and suggestions from our customers about ways we can improve our practices.

There are few rooms where we spend as much time as in the bathroom. From brushing our teeth in the morning to taking a relaxing bath in the evening: the bathroom is an important part of everyday life. Add some colour to this functional room to give it personality and allow it to reflect your style like your living room and bedroom do. From coloured bathtubs to practical accessories in vibrant hues, our range of bathroom products offers numerous, stylistically compatible solutions for personalised bathrooms full of character.
Find the right fit for your bathroom design
Narrow or wide, small or large, with angles, columns or niches – each bathroom is different and calls for unique decorating ideas. While a corner bath might be the perfect fit for a small room, a large, free-standing model is ideal for a spacious wellness temple. Modern designs such as square or oval shapes enrich the decor and are real eye-catchers in the bathroom. Villeroy & Boch offers bathroom ceramics and bathroom furniture in many different sizes and shapes to suit your decorating style. Individual collections such as the new Squaro Infinity and Subway Infinity are ideal for complex room layouts, as they can be tailored to your needs in the factory or even on site.
Bathroom décor with a colourful twist
The days when bathroom furnishings had to be white or cream are long gone. The modern bathroom trend is colour – whether as a small accent or as a vibrant colour concept for the entire interior bath design. Green, red and blue hues or a chic black are bold choices that attract attention and accentuate modern, cheerful bathroom furnishings. Villeroy & Boch offers fresh design ideas in a wide range of different colours to complement your bathroom décor
Practical decorating ideas for a homely bathroom
The bathroom is a place of pampering and relaxation, and this should be reflected in the decor. Therefore, the interior of your bathroom should be harmonious and cosy. This starts with the design of the bathroom ceramics, continues through bathroom furniture with a matching colour scheme, and ends with small but essential accessories. Plants can also be used as eye-catching decorative elements. This way, you will always be able to enjoy a pleasant atmosphere in your bathroom, be it while brushing your teeth in the morning or taking a relaxing bath in the evening. Villeroy & Boch has a wide range of ideas to help you decorate your bathroom.
Bathroom Planner
Planning is half the battle – our Bathroom Planner
Surely, nothing is more annoying than to furnish your new bathroom only to find that the bath, the new washbasin or the mirror above your vanity cabinet do not fit. This is why Villeroy & Boch has created the Bathroom Planner. You can enter the size of your bathroom and configure its layout intuitively and virtually with just a few clicks. Various shapes and sizes of bathroom ceramics and bathroom furniture are available in the database and can easily be moved around. Bring your decorating ideas to life – and nothing can stand in the way of your dream bathroom.

To find out if a developer has one of those wishlists, go to the account browser, look for the details of the developer and there you'll see if she has a wishlist. Buying something from people's wishlists may even speed up the time in which annoying bugs are fixed ;-).

Concrete, Steel.
Site-Lab, 341 Franklin street, SW Grand Rapids. MI.
Artprize 2016
Excavations is an intervention into the concrete foundation and driveway of a former carriage house at 341 Franklin Street, Grand Rapids, Michigan. In response to the existing cracks in the sixty year old concrete, I cut a series of lines into the slab with a diamond saw, then removed the resulting forms and repositioned them around the site. This action creates a group of positive and negative paired shapes separated from each other in space and orientation. Formally, these displaced objects may read like archaeological relics or geologic specimens. At the same time, the adjacent holes of exposed earth left from the removal of the concrete will eventually become activated as weeds start to grow in this long dormant soil. In Excavations, the entire site is a latent material, that through cutting, marking and relocating sections of the slab, it is transformed from an overlooked space into a site of uncertain potentiality.
Excavations was selected as the winner of the 3D category by the Artprize Jurors, Michelle Grabner, Paul Ha, and Eric Shiner.

Leaks in the Home
Can an existing homeowner benefit from the Feng Shui audit?
Yes. A proper audit involving looking at both the Ba Zi (Eight Characters) of all family members and a full home audit can help to improve or find out what's wrong with an existing home.
I have been staying in my existing home. Can Feng Shui help to improve my present situation? How can I improve my luck? Is there a wealth corner at my home?
Many of us would automatically or instinctively assume that in order to enhance our luck, we must buy `expensive' objects to enhance a sector or sectors of a home. This is a fallacy and not necessarily true. The main objective is to find out what's wrong and FIX-IT, FIRST!
The `Evils of Fast-Food Feng Shui'
Since mid 1980's, the trend of most of us is to look for fast-food answers to all our woes problems.
The most common mistake is to purchase `Feng Shui' books that does not teach but preach. Many of these books only know how to give `wild' tips without considering whether they are personalized to a specific individual or not.
Another sensible advise is that if you are making enhancements try to do so one at a time. For example, make the enhancement, wait a week. If nothing happens on on to the next.
This would be different if you consult reputable professional Feng Shui practitioners.
We hear of horror stories of many people paying large amounts for useless figurines and cures or enhancements that may not work at all. Instead, some of us may incur mounting debts or face a multitude of financial problems. This leads to a vicious cycle of financial and family problems:never knowing what's wrong with their life! You may not be in this situation but it is good to understand and avoid these pit-falls.
Is there a leak somewhere?
Let's look at it this way: imagine that you are on a boat in the Pacific Ocean. If the boat has a leak, there is no point in senhancing a sector of the deck of the boat if there is still a leak!
As the picture below shows, if we continue to look for our wealth sector and forsake the leak; the boat will eventually flood and sink! And all will be totally lost!
How do I know if there are any leaks?
Let's hope that none of us have leaks especially major leaks that suppress our luck. But it is never too late to find out if we have any now or in the future.
Feng Shui and Chinese divinity methods are all about trying to maximizing one thing -- LUCK!
What is so different about Geomancy.net?
We not only look at the Feng Shui of your home also we apply no less than three major Feng Shui concepts i.e. Shapes and Forms, Ba Zi Feng Shui, Eight House and Flying Star Feng Shui.
In fact, even before we begin to discuss on your home audit, we will thoroughly go thru each family's personal Ba Zi during the second on-site visit, first:-
1. Based on full detailed analysis of: Year, Month, Day, Time, House of Life, House of Conception. No one else provides such a full detailed analysis to ensure that your element and strength are correctly analyzed to include harms, punishments, double and triple combinations.
2. No one has ever come close to our full detailed and accurate Ba Zi analysis. Learn more.
3. Each of your current and future LUCK PERIODs are looked at to see if they are need to be neutralized especially for personal self-enhancement or `cured' during this existing 10 year period.
Here, you will be advised on whether there can be one or several minor or major leaks:-
Situation 1: Breadwinner's Ba Zi current Luck Period is OK but House Feng Shui has major or minor leaks.
Situation 2: Breadwinner's Ba Zi current Luck Period is inauspicious and House Feng Shui has major or minor leaks.
Learn the truth about your current situation! And only when you understand better what is `leaking' then can one improve or enhance your situation.
No one else comes close to our expertise in helping many people in understanding leaks better than we can!
4. Each family member will also get to understand your favourable, unfavourable elements. And your wealth element during the briefing.
5. Only after going thru your Ba Zi does Cecil Lee, go further into your home audit. This is why, his second visit takes as long as 2 or more hours for your personalized 2nd on-site visit.
6. You can start to note down even as you go thru this resources any questions that you need to ask Cecil during his very detailed 2nd visit! Learn more about our very affordable fixed pricing here!
Career Analysis for family members
Yes, this comes standard in all our on-site audits. Your detailed individual family's full Ba Zi (Eight Characters) report will also include a career with wealth; power and authority and other suitable careers.
Am I lucky at winning the lottery?
Yes, this also comes standard in all our on-site audits. You also get a bonus, your detailed individual family's full Ba Zi (Eight Characters) report will provide you with a glimpse as to whether you or your family members have (A) unexpected wealth (pian cai) and or(B) unexpected funds (pian yin) as shown below:-
Additional Palm Reading and more...
As an added bonus, for those who are present at the 2nd detailed on-site audit, Cecil Lee will also take a look at your palm to confirm some of the findings found during the audit. In addition your full pillars chart will show the House of conception i.e. child birth and spouse related issues for both husbands, wife and more!.

Hear the Declassified, Eerie "Space Music" Heard During the Apollo 10 Mission (1969)
By Ted Mills – The video below is a breathless example of American cable television, and how we love a good story and seriously want something to be more fantastic than boring ol' scientific fact. It also ties into our culture's perpetual love and nostalgia for the space program of the 1960s.
The anecdote takes place in 1969 during the Apollo 10 mission, when the astronauts on board were in lunar orbit and flying around the dark side of the moon. Having temporarily lost radio contact with earth, they begin to hear "weird music." Eugene Cernan and John Young can be heard on the recordings asking "You hear that? That whistling sound?" Another astronaut agrees: "That sure is weird music." The sound lasted for about 60 minutes.
These recordings were only declassified in 2008 by NASA, which only adds to their mystery, along with the fact that the astronauts never spoke on the matter afterwards because they thought nobody would believe them, according to this BBC article.
So what could it have been? A Star Wars cantina on the moon? Martian ham radio operators? The monolith from 2001?
Well, cut through the internet interference and it seems to be radio interference. This thread on Metafilter has some great non-clickbait-y discussion, including this:
The other likely explanation is that radio noise from the universe resonated with various components in Apollo, and ultimately induced enough current on the radio antenna to generate a signal. On the dark side of the moon, earth-based signals fine tuned for human listeners are absent. Background noise and its impact on Apollo's communication systems would be prominent on the audio signal.
But maybe this comment offers a better explanation:
Space whales.
Meanwhile, you can cut through all that by listening to the full archive of Apollo 10 recordings that NASA posted on archive.org on 2012. You can find the "music" on track 7, 10-030702_5-OF-6, starting at 44 minutes in, in all its static-y glory.
And for those who dig the music of sine waves, you could just listen to this:

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Canadian Society of Pediatrics state infants aged 0-2 years should not have any exposure to technology, 3-5 years be restricted to one hour per day, and 6-18 years restricted to 2 hours per day (AAP 2001/13, CPS 2010). Children and youth use 4-5 times the recommended amount of technology, with serious and often life threatening consequences (Kaiser Foundation 2010, Active Healthy Kids Canada 2012). Handheld devices (cell phones, tablets, electronic games) have dramatically increased the accessibility and usage of technology, causing escalating usage, especially by very young children (Common Sense Media, 2013). Cris Rowan, pediatric occupational therapist is calling on parents, teachers, and government to ban the use of all handheld devices for children under the age of 12 years. Following are ten research evidenced reasons for this ban. Please visit zonein.ca to view the Zone'in Fact Sheet for referenced research.
- Rapid brain growth
Between 0 and 2 years, infant's brains triple in size, and continue in a state of rapid development to 21 years of age (Christakis 2011). Early brain development is determined by environmental stimuli, or lack thereof. Stimulation to a developing brain caused by over exposure to technologies (cell phones, internet, iPads, TV), has been shown to negatively affect executive functioning, and cause attention deficit, cognitive delays, impaired learning, increased impulsivity, and decreased ability to self-regulation e.g. tantrums (Small 2008, Pagini 2010). - Delayed Development
Technology use restricts movement, resulting in delayed development. One in three children now enter school developmentally delayed, negatively impacting on literacy and academic achievement (HELP EDI Maps 2013). Movement enhances attention and learning ability (Ratey 2008). Use of technology under the age of 12 years, is detrimental to child development and learning (Rowan 2010). - Epidemic Obesity
TV and video game use correlates with increased obesity (Tremblay 2005). Children who are allowed a device in their bedrooms have 30% increased incidence of obesity (Feng 2011). One in four Canadian, and one in three U.S. children are obese (Tremblay 2011). 30% of children with obesity, will develop diabetes, and be at risk for early stroke and heart attack, gravely shortening life expectancy (Centre for Disease Control and Prevention 2010). Due to obesity, 21st century children may be the first generation many of whom will not outlive their parents (Professor Andrew Prentice, BBC News 2002). - Sleep Deprivation
60% of parents do not supervise their child's technology usage, and 75% of children are allowed technology in their bedrooms (Kaiser Foundation 2010). 75% of children aged 9 and 10 years are sleep deprived to the extent that their grades are detrimentally impacted (Boston College 2012). - Mental Illness
Technology overuse is implicated as a causal factor in rising rates of child depression, anxiety, attachment disorder, attention deficit, autism, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and problematic child behavior (Bristol University 2010, Mentzoni 2011, Shin 2011, Liberatore 2011, Robinson 2008). One in six Canadian children have a diagnosed mental illness, many of whom are on dangerous psychotropic medication (Waddell 2007). - Aggression
Violent media content causes child aggression (Anderson 2007). Young children are increasingly exposed to rising incidence of physical and sexual violence in today's media. Grand Theft Auto V portrays explicit sex, murder, rape, torture, and mutilation, as do many movies and TV shows. The U.S. has categorized media violence as a Public Health Risk due to causal impact on child aggression (Huesmann 2007). Media reports increased use of restraints and seclusion rooms with children who exhibit uncontrolled aggression (Vancouver Sun 2013). - Digital dementia
High speed media content causes attention deficit, as well as decreased concentration and memory, due to the brain pruning neuronal tracks to the frontal cortex (Christakis 2004, Small 2008). Children who can't pay attention, can't learn. - Addictions
As parents attach more and more to technology, they are detaching from their children. In the absence of parental attachment, detached children attach to devices, resulting in addiction (Rowan 2010). One in 11 children aged 8-18 years are addicted to technology (Gentlie 2009). Never in the history of humankind have there been child addictions. - Radiation emission
In May of 2011, the World Health Organization classified cellphones (and other wireless devices) as a category 2B risk (possible carcinogen) due to radiation emission (WHO 2011). James McNamee with Health Canada in October of 2011 issued a cautionary warning stating "Children are more sensitive to a variety of agents than adults as their brains and immune systems are still developing, so you can't say the risk would be equal for a small adult as for a child" (Globe and Mail 2011). In December, 2013 Dr. Anthony Miller from the University of Toronto's School of Public Health recommend that based on new research, radio frequency exposure should be reclassified as a 2A (probable carcinogen), not a 2B (possible carcinogen). American Academy of Pediatrics requested review of EMF radiation emissions from technology devices, citing 3 reasons regarding impact on children (AAP 2013). - Unsustainable
The ways in which children are raised and educated with technology are no longer sustainable (Rowan 2010). Children are our future, but there is no future for children who overuse technology. A team based approach is necessary and urgent in order to reduce the use of technology by children. Please reference below slide shows on www.zonein.ca under Media Videos and share with others who are concerned about technology overuse by children.
Problems – Suffer the Children – 4 minutes
Solutions – Balanced Technology Management – 7 minutes
The following guidelines for technology use by children and youth were developed by Cris Rowan pediatric occupational therapist and author of Virtual Child, Dr. Andrew Doan neuroscientist and author of Hooked on Games and Dr, Hilarie Cash, Director of reSTART Internet Addiction Recovery Program and author of Video Games and Your Kids, with contribution from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Canadian Pediatric Society in an effort to ensure sustainable futures for all children.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Written by Gordon Laing
NEW: Updated results and video with firmware 1.1.0.
The Canon EOS 5D Mark II is the successor to the EOS 5D, the World's first 'affordable' full-frame DSLR. Announced in September 2008, the EOS 5D Mark II comes almost three years after its predecessor, during which time the DSLR market has moved-on considerably. Unlike the EOS 5D which initially enjoyed no competition, the new EOS 5D Mark II finds itself launched against two key rivals: Nikon's D700 and Sony's Alpha DSLR A900. So the new 5D Mark II is in a much tougher position than its predecessor and Canon had to make some significant improvements.
The EOS 5D Mark II of course features a full-frame sensor, but the resolution enjoys a considerable boost from the 12.8 Megapixels of its predecessor to 21.1 Megapixels. This in fact matches the resolution of Canon's current flagship, the 1Ds Mark III, but it's not the same sensor. The EOS 5D Mark II features a new CMOS sensor which employs an improved output amplifier, a more advanced colour filter with superior light transmission, and other enhancements also seen in the recently announced EOS 50D. Canon claims the result is the highest quality seen from any EOS DSLR to date.
Like the recent EOS 50D, the new EOS 5D Mark II also enjoys a significant boost in its maximum sensitivity from a top speed of 3200 ISO on the original 5D to a considerable 25600 ISO on the Mark II – the highest sensitivity seen on a Canon DSLR so far.
The Megapixel count may have almost doubled and the tonal depth increased to 14-bit, but Canon's latest DIGIC 4 processor can work sufficiently quickly to offer a small boost in continuous shooting from 3 to 3.9fps. Support for UDMA CF cards ensures the buffer is flushed quickly.
The 5D Mark II is also equipped with a bigger and more detailed 3in VGA screen than its predecessor, which can of course also be used for Live View. It isn't just for capturing stills though – the 5D Mark II becomes Canon's first DSLR to feature video recording, which also makes it the second ever DSLR to offer the facility after the Nikon D90.
Both models can record video in HD, but where the D90 offers 720p, the 5D Mark II boasts nothing less than Full HD in 1080p at 30fps. Audio is captured with a built-in microphone, and Canon even offers a stereo microphone socket for better quality results. And to exploit the quality of both stills and video, the Mark II is also equipped with an HDMI port for connecting to HDTVs.
So in the three years since the original 5D, the new EOS 5D Mark II almost doubles the Megapixels, extends the tonal depth to 14-bits, accelerates continuous shooting by a third, increases the sensitivity by three stops, greatly improves the screen, adds Live View, broadens the coverage of the viewfinder, adds environmental sealing, includes AF micro-adjustment, vignette correction and anti-dust facilities, supports UDMA cards, and of course throws in HD movie recording with HDMI output.
Some may have wished the continuous shooting rate was faster still and the viewfinder coverage was 100%, while others may lament the continued absence of a popup flash, but there's no denying it's a significant upgrade in almost every respect over the original 5D.
But as we said at the start, the EOS 5D Mark II enters a marketplace with two highly regarded rivals from Sony and Nikon. Each offers compelling advantages over the Canon, so the big question is how do the quality and features compare? Find out in our Canon EOS 5D Mark II review where we'll examine all the new features, along with comparing the image quality against its predecessor and key rivals; we will of course also discuss the now infamous 'black dot' issue, and as always, you can also see a demonstration of the camera's key features in our Canon EOS 5D Mark II video tour.
Testing notes
We performed our original tests using a final production Canon EOS 5D Mark II running the initial firmware version 1.0.6, although updated our video and black-dot tests with the 1.1.0 revision released in June 2009.
Following our convention of testing cameras using their factory default settings unless otherwise stated, the EOS 5D Mark II was set to Large Fine JPEG quality, Auto White Balance, Evaluative metering and the Standard Picture Style; High ISO Noise Reduction and the Auto Lighting Optimiser were set to their default Standard settings, while Highlight Tone Priority was disabled. Note: we disabled Auto Lighting Optimizer for our high ISO noise tests, and also have samples comparing the different noise reduction settings. Lens-based Image Stabilisation was enabled for all handheld shots and disabled for tripod-based tests.

Homeowners are familiar that they can deduct the interest and property taxes from their income tax returns. They also understand that there is a substantial capital gains exclusion for qualified sales of up to $250,000 if single and $500,000 for married filing jointly. However, ongoing recordkeeping tends to be overlooked.
New homeowners should get in the habit of keeping all receipts and paperwork for any improvements or repairs to the home. Existing homeowners need to be reminded as well, in case they have become lax in doing so.
These expenditures won't necessarily benefit in the annual tax filing but may become valuable when it is time to sell the home because it raises the basis or cost of the home.
For instance, let's say a single person buys a $350,000 home that appreciates at 6% a year. Twelve years from now, the home will be worth $700,000. $250,000 of the gain will be exempt with no taxes due but the other $100,000 will be taxed at long-term capital gains rate. At 15%, that would be $15,000 in taxes due.
Assume during the time the home was owned that a variety of improvements totaling $100,000 had been made. The adjusted basis in the home would be $450,000 and the gain would only be $250,000. No capital gains tax would be due.
Some repairs may not qualify as improvements but if the homeowner has receipts for all the money spent on the home, the tax preparer can decide at the time of sale. Small dollar items can really add up to substantial amounts over many years of homeownership.
You can download a Homeowner's Tax Worksheet that can help you with this recordkeeping. The important thing is to establish a habit of putting receipts for home expenditures in an envelope, so you'll have it when you are ready to sell.

Kavachi is an undersea volcano on the southern edge of the Solomon Islands in the western Pacific Ocean. It erupted dozens of times in the 20th century, often breaking the water surface, only to be eroded back below the water line within a few months.
On January 29, 2014, the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on the Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite captured what could be the start of a new cycle of island life and death. Aquamarine water extends eastward from the submerged volcano; the color is likely from dissolved volcanic gases and lava fragments suspended in the water. Directly above the undersea peak, a bright patch is suggestive of vigorously churning water—but there is no sign that the eruption has broken the surface.

"You don't want to be that guy who's quitting or that boring guy. You're gonna try and get in there and win fights and do it in exciting fashion."
With less than ten pro fights, none against a world-class opponent, you would have understood if middleweight prospect Brad Tavares was a little bit hesitant to accept a January 1st fight with seasoned veteran Phil Baroni at UFC 125. Yet when presented with the bout, the 23-year old worried not about his opponent, only logistics.
"I was excited when they first gave me the fight," said Tavares. "The only thing that was running through my mind was that I ran into Phil at Couture's prior to us getting the fight and I know that he's trained there. I train there half of the week as well and that was the only problem I saw at the time. But I took the fight and said if that means we've got to steer clear of each other, that's fine. I'll get my training in regardless, but then I found out that he's at AKA (American Kickboxing Academy) and that worked out fine for me. I've got my camp going how it normally does and everything worked out."
That's Hawaiian Fighting 101. You don't pick your fights and you don't steer clear of them. If you've got to work your life around it, so be it, but you don't back down – you just scrap. And in taking the Baroni fight without hesitation, Tavares, just 5-1 as a pro, passed his first test in joining the circle inhabited by the likes of BJ Penn, Kendall Grove, Troy Mandaloniz, and Cabbage Correira.
"You grow up with that pride," said Tavares, a native of Kailua. "You're proud of where you come from, and we stand alone. We're out in the Pacific Ocean, far away from the rest of the continental US, and we're proud of our heritage and everything that comes with it. It was embedded in us from when we were young. Just be proud of who you are, where you came from, your family, and it's like that all over Hawaii. So when you see the other Hawaiian fighters coming over here and fighting in the big shows, they rep that Hawaii pride really hard."
It's a pride that translates into their fighting style as well. Win or lose, a Hawaiian fighter will fight, and you won't see them trying to squeak out a decision or grind their way to victory. Sometimes that translates into feast or famine, but when it's all over, they can hold their head high.
"You don't want to be that guy who's quitting or that boring guy," said Tavares. "You're gonna try and get in there and win fights and do it in exciting fashion. And it's not gonna go your way every time; you might not be able to beat the guy you're fighting, and that's just how it goes, but when you have the chance, you fight your heart out and you never quit, and I think a lot of people in Hawaii are brought up with that big heart to never stop, never give up, and just keep going."
In a lot of ways, that attitude is shared by Tavares' New Year's Day opponent, Baroni. Win or lose, Baroni has never been accused of playing it safe. It's cost him plenty of times over the years, but then again, his fighting style has probably made him the only fighter with a 13-12 record competing in the UFC today. And in the lead-up to the bout, there has been none of Baroni's usual bluster, mainly because "The New York Bad Ass" respects the up and comer he's about to throw hands with.
"I'm glad that he respects me as a man and as a fighter, but I'm not too worried about what he thinks of me," said Tavares, "I'm just worried about how I see the fight and how I gotta take the fight. I see him as a veteran and a very dangerous person, regardless of his past couple fights and regardless of what the critics might say about him gassing and stuff. It's a totally different fight when your life is on the line, so to speak, and everybody knows that for him, this could be a cut for him, and it's not likely that he'll get back in the UFC after this fight if he loses it, so a lot's at stake for him and I know that I'm probably going to be going up against the most dangerous Phil Baroni that there ever was."
When Baroni's on, he is dangerous, especially now that he's back at middleweight after a 3-2 stint at 170 pounds. But where Tavares sees danger isn't in the New Yorker's heavy hands and aggressive assault; it's in an underutilized part of his game, one that he suspects Baroni may pull out in order to keep his latest UFC run going.
"He has a good wrestling background, and even though he likes to stand and bang and slug, it (the wrestling) is there," said Tavares. "So it's not to say that he can't take somebody down, put them down, and hold them down. He's a big guy and a strong guy, so if he wanted to do that, he could probably throw that into his gameplan and it would be something that a lot of people don't expect. He's definitely going to be dangerous and I'm getting ready to expect the unexpected. Everybody sees Phil Baroni as this guy that comes out like a robot and just starts swinging, but I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to shoot in on me or change it up a bit. I'm expecting everything."
He's training for everything everywhere as well, and with work at Xtreme Couture, the TapouT Training Center, and with Robert Drysdale jiu-jitsu black belt Sonny Nohara, Tavares has gotten himself acquainted with Vegas pretty fast after relocating from Hawaii earlier this year. It's been a smooth adjustment as well.
"A lot of people when they go from Hawaii to a place that's a higher altitude with thinner air they have some troubles, but I adjusted pretty well," he said. "I got lucky I guess, and as far as the people, I like the people in Vegas, and I have good, high-level training partners that I get to train with on a regular basis. And as far as life outside of training, it's great. There's a lot of local influence around here. I live with a bunch of my close friends from back home, and that's another thing that made it easier on me. So as far as transitioning over, the only things I really miss are the rest of my family and my other friends that aren't here, and maybe the beach. Anything else you can pretty much get it here in Vegas."
A 23-year old can also get himself in trouble in Vegas, but Tavares keeps it on the straight and narrow thanks to his training schedule and the fighters' form of crack – the videogame Call of Duty: Black Ops.
"I keep real busy with training and Call of Duty," he laughs. "That's literally all I do. Occasionally we'll go up to the desert and shoot guns, but I'm not too much of a partier. There's a time for that, but right now its work time and that's where my mind is set. I'm driven."
Add Tavares' drive with Baroni's will to stay alive in the UFC, and it's a recipe for a fight to remember, one that has been lighting up fight fans' Twitter accounts over the last few weeks. Tavares promises that no one will be disappointed.
"I think the matchup between Phil Baroni and myself is a great one," he said. "Styles make fights, and I'm not gonna say that I'm gonna stand in there and go blow for blow with this guy and it's 50-50 who gets knocked out, but it's definitely not gonna be a boring fight. He's not gonna be laying on me, and I'm definitely not gonna just be laying and praying on him. You're gonna see some fireworks for the New Year."

So far we've talked about how much sleep you should get and how much alcohol you should drink.
Let's now talk about how much you should weight…and what to do about it.
Stop Eating Out at Restaurants
I might sound like a food Nazi for saying this, but early in your plan you need to try to avoid eating out at restaurants frequently. You will learn quickly what is reasonable and what is not.
You will also learn approximate calorie amounts, but until then stay home.
Use a Calorie Counter
Calorie counters are very important. You can buy a little book at the check-out line at the grocery store.
When you are in the line right above the magazines that explain how Paris Hilton got impregnated by a Martian there will be a little blue and white book. It will have a picture of a tape measure around a loaf of bread.
That is the book.
The other option is to go on-line. Google "FREE calorie counter."
Don't sign up for anything because there are many sites with that special word "free" in the title.
You will become familiar with the caloric number, fat, carb and protein content of most of the foods you eat.
Although, early on this will be cumbersome you will get used to it and then you will piss-off all of the people you work with when you start telling them that the Yo-Ho they are about to inhale has 650 calories and 64 grams of fat.
But this is important if you want to lose weight: you must be able to calculate the numbers.
Avoid Tempting Situations
Try to stay away from situations that will pressure you to eat. Larry's bachelor party, Superbowl pizza parties, all-you-can-eat- buffet's, and worst of all your mother-in-law's post-Thanksgiving dinner desserts.
Stay away.
Once you have mastered caloric control, go ahead and give the pizza a ride, but early on, STAY HOME.
Weight Yourself Everyday
Furthermore, weigh yourself everyday. Do not believe the story that you weigh once a week. Make yourself accountable every morning.
Bad day, too many beers, get your punishment and look at the scale.
You need a good reliable scale. It will cost about $25.00 . Get your money's worth and get on it every day. Write down your weight every day.
Start a Vitamin Regiment
A once-a-day vitaman, one aspirin, Omega 3 supplements and a branch chain amino acid supplement. The supplements are important if your dietary habits are to change.

Designed to clamp down hard on illegal puppy farming, new regulations on dog breeding in England will come into effect on October 1st. As of that date, any puppy breeder in England must have a license if they intend to make a profit from their pups.
If you are looking to buy a puppy, even to help a friend or neighbour whose bitch has fallen pregnant, you must buy from a licensed breeder in order to comply with the law.
Breeders of three or more litters per year MUST have a license, even to sell one puppy in a twelve-month period.
If you are a breeder of 1-2 litters per year who the government deem as advertising the business of breeding/selling dogs in any way, you will also be required to have a license. If you're unsure about whether or not you're inadvertently advertising dog breeding, you can read the official guidelines here.
You won't need a license if you breed from your bitch and do not intend to sell any of the puppies. You may also escape the need for a license if you sell a small number of puppies and do not make a profit from the sale, i.e. you are given a sum of money equal to the costs of primary vaccinations, food and other expenditures that in any way went towards the welfare of the puppy in question.
You will need to make sure that the breeder you're buying from is legitimate and licensed. Dog breeders have to adhere to certain criteria, so you can treat the following as your licensed-breeder checklist:
✓ Breeders must display info on their adverts such as their license number and the authority that issued it.
✓ They will have to include the puppy's age in their advert, along with a clear photo (that is genuine).
✓ It is also the law that the sale of a puppy should take place in the presence of the buyer. A licensed breeder will therefore not be prepared to conduct a sale over the phone or the internet.
✓ Another great way to tell a genuine breeder from an illegal one is to note how helpful and informative they are. They will be able to provide you with photos, they will let you visit the puppy, they will let you visit the mother and they will provide you with evidence of all necessary treatments and vaccinations.
This is an exciting time in the war against the illegal puppy trade! To save you the stress of an unexpected litter, we do recommend you neuter your bitch unless you have planned to breed from her.

Meghan Markle Says Being the 'Most Trolled Person in the Entire World' Was 'Almost Unsurvivable'
Meghan Markle spoke out about how she struggled with social media after she was trolled and bullied online constantly.
Markle and Prince Harry spoke on the Teenager Therapy podcast on Saturday (October 10) in honor of World Mental Health Day.
"I'm told that in 2019 I was the most trolled person in the entire world-male or female," Markle shared.
"Now eight months of that, I wasn't even visible," she continued. "I was on maternity leave or with a baby but what was able to just be manufactured and churned out, it's almost unsurvivable. That's so big you can't even think about what that feels like because... I don't care if you're 15 or 25—if people are saying things about you that aren't true, what that does to your mental and emotional health is so damaging."
At the end of the day, the Duchess of Sussex wants everyone to know that they're not alone.
"We all know what it feels like to have our feelings hurt," Markle added. "We all know what it feels like to be isolated or othered. And I think that's why the work you guys are doing here is so important—that people know there's someone to talk to. You're not alone in any of it. We're all figuring it out."
Harry added that being in the spotlight has been a struggle at times. "There are good days, there are bad days," he admitted. "But I think putting your self-care as a priority is hugely important. Vulnerability is not a weakness, showing vulnerability in today's world especially, is a strength."
