How many times have you spent hours in the gym and you can't seem to get rid of that stubborn belly fat and the feeling that you're carrying around more weight than you actually have in your midsection?
Sure, belly fat is definitely for real, and the fat you're carrying around can be described as anything from a "spare tire" to just one too many meals that tasted way too good and failed to actually work against putting weight around your stomach area.
Most of what rids you of excess belly fat has to do more with food and drinks rather than exercise. You can do a hundred sit ups per day, but that creates and builds muscle. The layer of skin that covers those muscles isn't going to go away with just exercise, but rather an intense focus on what you're eating and if you're drinking the right things.
There's a big difference between fat figuring into the equation versus you just being bloated. Those can be easily confused, particularly if your clothes aren't fitting correctly and you just feel lethargic and your belly is blowing out over your pants.
The easiest way to get rid of belly fat is to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. A lack of water coupled with a diet high in fat and sodium is going to make everything look more swollen and larger than it actually is. Sodium is such a difficult element of eating and drinking to completely rid yourself of, but consider not adding extra salt to foods and also from a beverage standpoint, switching from sweetened tea to regular, implementing the always popular and anti bloat drink that is green tea, and eliminating drinks that already carry with them high amounts of sodium like sodas, particularly diet ones.

Composite lumber is a building material made of recycled wood and plastic which resembles dimensional lumber. Composite lumber is most often used as decking material, but may also be used for door and window frames and exterior molding. Typically, composite lumber consists of a 50/50 mix of real wood fibers and recycled plastic.
Unlike traditional lumber, composite lumber is not prone to decay, insects or UV ray damage. When used as a decking material, the composite lumber does not require as much maintenance as its dimensional lumber equivalent. Unlike traditional lumber, which tends to expand and contract through the temperature changes, composite lumber is studier and is not prone to similar warping. Although composite lumber is more expensive, it is much more durable, stable and therefore lasts much longer.
Although most dimensional lumber does not carry any type of warranty, most composite lumber manufactures offer impressive warranties. Generally composite lumber lasts between 10 and 20 years. Many manufacturers offer lifetime warranties on their composite products. The most durable composite lumber products, such as railing and fencing, usually carry lifetime warranties. The composite lumber industry has improved their products over the years. The recent products are even more resistant to fading, staining and mold than they were originally.
The installation process for composite lumber is very similar to traditional lumber, as composite lumber simply replaces dimensional lumber in various applications. Galvanized screws or nails are recommended as fasteners. Pre-drilling is typically not required for self-drilling screws as the composite lumber does not have grain like dimensional lumber. Instead of screws, nails could be used and installed with a pneumatic nailer. To smoothly cut the composite lumber, a circular saw with a carbide blade should be used.
Treated dimensional lumber contains chemical additives to preserve the wood. Composite lumber does not require staining or sealing and would not require annual treatments involving chemical additives. Traditional lumber also tends weather, which could cause deck boards to curl up and warp and cause a potential trip hazard. Composite lumber does not weather or warp, eliminating the potential trip hazard. Composite lumber is also smooth and does not splinter, making it an ideal material for outdoor applications with children.
Most decks and outdoor wood applications require an annual cleaning with a pressure washer to remove any stains or mildew and help the wood keep its original appearance. The plastic component in composite lumber prevents weathering and does not require the same annual pressure cleaning to keep its appearance. Most manufactures recommend periodic sweeping and hosing the material. The material can also be occasionally cleaned using any conventional deck wash.

Monday, 2 May 2016
The outlook for the New Zealand economy offers some big positives, and some big negatives, but overall Kiwis can anticipate growth of between 2 – 2.5 per cent in 2016, as well as a modest growth outlook for New Zealand shares.
AMP NZ Chief Economist, Bevan Graham, said the positives for New Zealand are a very strong population growth through net migration, strong consumer spending, robust construction activity and a tourism sector that's going pretty well.
"On the other side of the equation we have low dairy prices which mean a low pay-out for farmers again this year. On balance overall, it might not be a great year for growth, but it's not a bad one either – but obviously there will be sector differences coming through," he said.
The New Zealand Reserve Bank cut interest rates again in March, and signalled another in the pipeline for the first half of 2016, which could take the Official Cash Rate (OCR) down to 2 per cent.
"There were a number of factors that contributed to that cut. The NZ dollar exchange rate has strengthened recently, we have very low inflation, concerns about global growth, falling inflation expectations, rising bank funding costs and the challenges facing the dairy industry."
Bevan said that put all of those factors together, and you could say that the RBNZ has taken the path of least regret in deciding to cut again. It wasn't guaranteed that they would do so, because on the other side they also have a mandate to maintain financial stability.
"Cutting interest rates too low may inflame the housing marketing in Auckland – which has recently strengthened and is spilling over into other regions like the Bay of Plenty and the Waikato. There are risks either side in cutting or not cutting, but on balance they decided it was prudent to cut, and that makes us more confident in the modest growth outlook for the New Zealand economy over this year," said Bevan.
The New Zealand share market is one of the more fully valued markets around the world at the moment, and that's why AMP has set a neutral asset allocation towards the NZ share market currently. "We think there is greater value in global shares – in both developed markets, and emerging markets. That's where our overweight to growth assets is," said Bevan.
He says that with the Kiwi share market getting closer to fully valued, what is important is continued earnings growth.
"So long as we are confident we will see that growth, especially in earnings, we will probably maintain that neutral position. Even with that modest growth outlook, New Zealand shares will still do better than bonds," he said.

Good Security Is Vital
One of the most important criteria is the safety and security of your money and information. All the online casinos reviewed here are certified by the e-Commerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance body (eCOGRA) and use 128-bit SSL encryption. This is the same technology that banks and online stores around the world use.
The experienced folk at eCOGRA inspect online casinos' security and look at how their transactions are protected, and their seal of approval is considered the industry gold standard. Every casino we review and recommend will also have a security page explaining what kind of security and certification they have.
Once we know that players' money will be safe, the next thing we look at in an online casino review is the number of deposit and withdrawal options they offer. There is no point in gambling online if it's a chore to collect your winnings! The casinos we've reviewed and rated here give the highest marks to offer a wide variety of options from credit card to eCheck to a variety of eWallets.
The Biggest Bonuses and Widest Variety of Games
Another aspect we scrutinize when doing online casino reviews is what kind of handsome bonuses are given. Nearly all casinos with great reviews from us offer some kind of sign-up bonus such as a 100% matching bonus on your deposit (up to a certain limit). Beyond that, most casinos offer loyalty points for frequent gamers that can be cashed in for real money, tournament entries, and other rewards. Every casino is different with how they dole out their bonuses, but some even offer rewards for your second and third deposits, as well as other random benchmarks.
Finally, the variety of games a casino offers is another important criteria we look at. Most of the casinos we review typically offer over 300 different games play and sometimes over 500. Often, a large majority of these games are slots but the best casinos also offer all of the same games that 'land' casinos do. These range from countless varieties of blackjack, video poker, roulette, baccarat, hold 'em, and everything in between.
Read Our Reviews Then Play Safe At Home
Perhaps most importantly, all the casinos you'll find on our site are safe and easy to access for Canadian gamers to enjoy at their leisure. Any online casinio review ensures that the site meets all of the criteria mentioned while adhering to local and national laws so that you can play knowing that your investment is safe.
Again, if it has a high rating from us, rest assured that the online casino we've reviewed is one of the highest quality and can be trusted with your money.
When we recommend an Internet casino, we've done our homework. We've checked their background, looked in to their practices, and played their games. We've done everything in our power to ensure that, if they are on our list, they offer you safe, secure gaming.
That's important because:
1 You are trusting a site with your personal and financial details
2 We want you to have fun wherever you play
And in the very rare event you do encounter trouble with OnlineCasino.ca, send us an email and we'll do our best to help out.

PARIS (Reuters) - For Paris, a city whose priciest apartments boast mansard roofs and wrought-iron balconies, it's an audacious bet: a pair of shimmering, largely residential, luxury towers that might look more at home in Dubai or Shanghai.
So far the improbable 2.2 billion-euro ($2.88 billion) development of what would be Europe's tallest buildings - eclipsing London's controversial 'Shard' skyscraper - has confounded the naysayers in overcoming preliminary hurdles.
If the Hermitage Plaza towers, designed by British architect Norman Foster, do see the light of day, they could transform the concrete canyons of Paris's La Defense district, now nearly all offices. They could also spur more modern high-end residential construction in a city best-known for its grand 19th-century boulevards.
"The idea is to create a Manhattan in the French style in La Defense," said Emin Iskenderov, head of the Hermitage Group, which is developing the towers. "There are many people nowadays who want more than the traditional charming Paris apartment."
The project received planning permission in March and has since beaten back several legal challenges from local groups.
One of those groups, Vivre a la Defense, representing tenants of a building that needs to be demolished to make way for Hermitage Plaza, last month appealed to France's highest court after a lower court setback.
Opponents criticize the project for its treatment of local residents. They say Iskenderov's plan to replace the area's moderately priced apartments with luxury ones is wrongheaded in a country that suffers from a housing shortage.
"If it doesn't work, we'll be in big trouble," said Jean-Andre Lasserre, Socialist councilor for Courbevoie, a neighborhood that adjoins La Defense. "If it does work, we'll have the type of people who live there for one or two months out of the year. The rest of the time it will be empty."
Still, the project - first trumpeted by then-President Nicolas Sarkozy during a visit to St Petersburg two years ago, alongside his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev and Iskenderov himself - has been signed off on by the mayor of Courbevoie, a member of Sarkozy's center-right party.
The Russian-born developer told Reuters he is on track to get bank financing by January at the latest, even though the amount needed has jumped to 1.2 billion euros from a previously targeted 700 million.
Getting more from the banks now would allow the 36-year-old Iskenderov, who has raised eyebrows with his sudden emergence on the French real estate scene, to rely less on the proceeds of apartment sales.
"We don't want to sell them in a hurry because that would mean a loss in value," Iskenderov said, while insisting that he had already heard from 4,000 potential buyers for the family-sized apartments, which measure 200 square meters on average.
"The idea is to sell them as close to the delivery date as possible," he said, predicting completion in early 2019 - a good three years later than initially forecast.
Born in Moscow, Iskenderov moved to France with his parents at the age of 15, then in 1998 back to Moscow, where he eventually joined Mirax, a now-bankrupt developer known for luxury housing.
Hermitage began as Mirax's French unit and split off in 2009 with funds that Iskenderov says account for most of the roughly 200 million euros in equity he plans to plough into the project.
Iskenderov has high-profile allies, including the public entities that manage La Defense. The site's main contractor will be construction firm Bouygues, whose head Martin Bouygues is godfather to one of Sarkozy's sons.
While Iskenderov paints the loan as a near certainty, even pinpointing the rate at 7 percent, others expressed skepticism.
"At this moment, obtaining that level of financing is complicated," said Ludovic Delaisse, head of the offices department at commercial real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield in France. "A 2 billion-euro project is colossal."
Iskenderov also said 15 hotel operators had expressed interest in the right to run a five-star hotel that would be part of the complex. A final decision will be made within a couple of months, he said.
Another 13 percent of the towers will be set aside for office space, with lower rise buildings included in the complex to house a high-end shopping mall, student apartments and even an art gallery.
If the project is to succeed Iskenderov will have to transform perceptions of the La Defense neighborhood - a tall order given its image as a financial district which goes deathly quiet on weekends and after working hours.
"We're going to fill this void just so there is life at La Defense after 8 p.m.," Iskenderov said, adding London's Canary Wharf, a similarly purpose-built office district outside the city center, had done better at promoting after hours life.
Bringing apartments to La Defense, where offices have suffered from high vacancy, echoes initiatives in London where developers have bet on residential schemes in commercial zones like the financial district, West End, and even Canary Wharf.
To bring about such changes, the Hermitage Plaza project envisions France's first truly mixed-use complex - akin to the Shard or New York's Time Warner building.
The New York building had little trouble luring tenants like Time Warner alongside a high-end shopping mall and top-priced apartments. But it sits at the corner of Central Park, while the Hermitage's location has no such allure.
A multi-use project with apartments, a hotel and offices risks not doing any one thing particularly well.
Foster, whose phallic Gherkin tower made a permanent mark on London and who has given the 85- and 86-story Hermitage towers an aura of architectural respectability, declined to comment.
Socialist President Francois Hollande's tax hikes, which have some wealthy French eyeing the exits, could be another headwind. Iskenderov says he would aim to sell about 40 percent of the apartments to foreigners.
"Even though I think it's actually important to breathe new life into La Defense and make it more of a mixed neighborhood, with stores, schools and residences, I'm not a big believer in combining those all in a single building," said Alexis Motte, an executive with tenant representative Mobilitis.
Financing "will be very difficult", and political issues will still need to be resolved, he said.
Still Iskenderov has beaten the odds so far.
"I didn't believe in it at all, but it's becoming more and more credible," Motte said.

The OS/360 PUT macro was L 15,48(,1) BALR 14,15 The storage byte at offset 48 in the DCB was used for something - I no longer remember what it was used for and it's not important. The 24-bit address of the code that processes a PUT request was (and still is) filled in by OPEN in bytes 49 through 51. In System/36 only the low order 24-bits of register 15 were used for the branch address in the BALR; the high order 8 bits were ignored. In the early 1980s when IBM provided for more than 16 meg of storage the old code would no longer work, so IBM changed it to SLR/ICM/BALR to make sure the higher order byte of register 15 was 0 before it executed the BALR instruction.

Tunnel Falls is a unique tunnel behind a beautiful waterfall in the Columbia River Gorge. Pass several other waterfalls while you hike through lush forests a trail built into the cliffside.
This hike begins at the Eagle Creek Trailhead. This is the same trailhead that goes to popular Punchbowl Falls. The trail to reach Tunnel Falls is 12 miles roundtrip on an out and back trail. If you continue another 0.5 miles on the trail after Tunnel Falls you will reach Twister Falls. The hike takes you past several other waterfalls on the way to Tunnel Falls including: Punchbowl Falls, Metlako Falls, Loowit Falls, and Skoonichuck Falls. The hike also goes along a cliff and is literally built into the side of the cliff at some points. There is a railing to hold onto for peace of mind.
The most unique part about Tunnel Falls is the tunnel behind the falls. You can also do some exploring at the base of Tunnel Falls if you make your way down the steep embankment before you get to the tunnel.
Pack List
- Water shoes (If you plan to do any exploring around the falls)
- Plenty of water (it is a long hike)
- Camera and Tripod

One of the best Gorge hikes
The hike takes you across a river canyon over a high bridge. Bring your camera! Many things to see along the trail. Make sure to buy a parking pass before you go because you will be forced to pay anyways if you do not (the fine for us was $5)

Awesome 12-mile trail run
This is one of my favorite trail runs in the Gorge. Path is nice and wide, even when it gets exposed on the cliff side. There are some rocky bits that will (or should) slow you down - be extra careful on these when it's damp or rainy. If the weather's nice, even mid-week, expect to see a lot of people on the path. Camping is possible past High Bridge and there are designated campsites closer to the waterfall, so you may run into backpackers as well. At mile 5 you'll enter the Hatfield Wilderness area where filling out a free permit is required to continue on to Tunnel Falls.

Hike is longer than 12 miles
This hike is an 17.5-18 mile roundtrip, not 12 miles. The hike is not difficult in the sense of elevation gain because it's gradually going up hill, rather the length of the hike is difficult; 6 hrs approx.

Beautiful Hike!
Eagle Creek is a great place to hike even in rainy weather. The amount of views and waterfalls make 12 miles fly by, and with the elevation spread over those miles is a very easy hike. Make sure to pack some snacks to enjoy along the creekside!

Can I give it 6 stars?
One of my favorite hikes! Minimal effort for epic rewards!
over 1 year ago
This is one of the best trails in The Gorge. If you like somewhat narrow cliff trails with intermixed spots of forest, this is the place to go. One of the best runs of my life was on this trail on rainy, 40˚ morning in March, there was no-one else on it on the way out and with less vegetation you could see the falls better. I turned around at Tunnel Falls but there's plenty of more trail if you want it. I don't recommend stopping long in those temps though because you can get cold pretty quickly with just running layers on.
Wouldn't say it's an advanced hike...we did it in four hours with a stop at the river just beyond the tunnel. Everyone from Portland will be here on a sunny day. Not for people afraid of heights!
Awesome place - grab a detailed topo map and find some of the hidden, off-trail falls.. they're totally rad!

Clare's Law isn't good enough
Because the majority of victims and survivors of intimate partner violence are women, and the vast majority of perpetrators are men, I will follow how other news and blogging outlets have covered this story and refer to this law in relation to women. This is not intended to silence or deny the problems of intimate partner violence across genders, or to suggest that Clare's Law only applies to straight, cis men and women.
One clear problem with Clare's Law is that most incidences of intimate partner violence aren't reported to the police; in fact it is believed that only 23% of victims go to the police. Therefore it is likely that a lot of perpetrators of violence are not going to be on the police list when women phone up to check. This could have an effect of leading women into a false sense of security – particularly in light of what we know about how domestic violence often works. The violence can start with the perpetrator isolating his partner, building up slowly – if a woman has been reassured that her partner doesn't have a violent history, this could have serious implications.
A further problem is the impact this law could have on victim-blaming, something that is already rife when we consider the public's reaction to intimate partner violence. What happens if a woman was informed that her partner has a history of violence, but decides to stay because he excuses it, makes promises, tells her it was all a lie or a misunderstanding, or that he's changed. If he then goes on to be violent towards her, will she be blamed? Already, cases of domestic abuse are surrounded by conversations around 'why did she stay when she knew what he was like', 'why did she stay so long', and domestic violence murders are reported as 'crimes of passion' or 'man kills nagging wife'. Women are so often blamed for the violence committed against them, and there are many concerns about how this law could encourage these pernicious victim-blaming myths.
Something has to be done about tackling domestic violence. Two women a week are murdered by their partner or ex partner, and 1 in 4 women will experience domestic violence – a figure that goes up to 1 in 3 when talking about teen girls. 2,000 women a week are raped and the majority of these women will know their rapist. However I really question as to whether Clare's Law is the answer or even part of the answer to this horrific crime. And this is because the emphasis is on the woman to avoid or prevent violence happening to her, not on preventing violence by focusing on the perpetrator.
So many anti-violence campaigns seek to police women's behaviour, from anti rape campaigns at Christmas warning women to 'let your hair down, not your guard', to the proposed Clare's Law which puts the responsibility on women to find out if their partner is violent, and then expecting them to leave. I believe instead that in order to prevent violence against women and girls, we need to focus on those who commit violence. This means more education around respect and consent. It means education around healthy and happy relationships. It means holding the perpetrators to account and eradicating myths that blame the victim. It means justice for victims and survivors and proper punishment for perpetrators. And it means more care taken by the police and the CPS to protect women and prevent violence happening.
Take Clare Wood's case as an example. By the time she was murdered, she had reported her partner's violence to the police many times. The Police Complaints Commission's report on how Manchester police handled the case was critical of the way the police handled Clare Wood's reports that her partner had been violent and threatened to kill her. She is not alone. Chrissie Chambers and her daughter were murdered earlier this year by her violent ex-partner. She had reported to the police that he had sent her 100 threatening text messages days before she was killed. Despite a restraining order being in place, he was still able to access the house and kill her and her 2-year old.
Why were these women not protected more? Why were their cries for help not taken more seriously? Why do men who murder their wives only get 18 months in prison, as happened in the case of Jonathan Wicks who beat and hit his wife over the head.
It is worth mentioning that this year the coalition's cuts have resulted and will continue to result in massive cuts in the domestic violence sector. Women's Aid predicted in April that 60% of refuge services will no longer receive council funding, reducing refuge places from 400 to 160. 70,000 women and children will be left without the support they need to escape a life of violence. So it is hard not to feel cynical that Clare's Law is being proposed at a point where women who need refuge, who need help to escape violence, are struggling to access the assistance they so desperately need.
The responsibility to end violence against women does not lie with women being told to avoid violence. It isn't a natural hazard that we can take precautions to prevent. The responsibility to end violence against women and girls lies with the perpetrator. They are the ones who need to stop being violent. They are the ones who can prevent violence. Let's see more education, let's see justice for victims, let's see improvements in the ways the police handle reports of intimate partner violence, and let's see an end to victim blaming. There is no single solution to the terrifying epidemic of violence against women and girls. But there are things we can do. And I don't believe that it starts and ends with Clare's Law.

Brilliant post. Calm and measured and very informative.
We need to start with not making excuses for DV. I had an abusive boyfriend when I was 15. He was older than me and told me this was how adult relationships were. I blamed myself. It was my punishment for sneaking around seeing him. And I never told anyone then even when he broke my ribs.
And when I did tell people, they scoffed. How could it be DV when I was a kid? When we weren't living together? Didn't have kids? It was just me being silly. Over sensitive. I must have pushed him to it. No one ever said 'what kind of shitty adult man beats up a teenage girl and makes her cry?'
Being beaten up and verbally abused by my very first boyfriend and the first person I ever slept with has affected me my entire adult life. I'd like to see us not writing this kind of scarring behaviour off anymore and doing something more than just setting up another database..

thank you for sharing your story Gherkingirl - am so sorry that you had this happen to you, and that people reacted in the way you describe. You are right - too often people try to minimise, deny or reduce the impact or problem of domestive violence. As you say, we need to stop writing this off and start insisting that people listen, hear the truth and take action to prevent it.

Most Helpful Girl
I don't know why anyone would be mad that you are trying to find dates. Perhaps it's your approach? If you go on about how ugly you are, and put yourself down, that is not attractive at all. Try to have confidence. Just because one girl said you were ugly doesn't mean you are ugly to everyone. Good looks are subjective, meaning everyone is attracted to different things. So don't count yourself out. Try hanging out at different places.00|00|0

HARD-WORKING staff at a leading Ulverston business and local schoolchildren welcomed The Duke of York to the town.
The Duke of York, Prince Andrew, visited Forge Europa on Prince's Street to officially open its new million pound plus Lighting Solutions Centre.
Pupils from St Mary's Primary School were there One of those who spoke to the Prince was Gabby Wheeler, 10, who said afterwards: "He was really nice. He asked what we wanted to be when we grow up and I said I wanted to be a journalist. It has been a really exciting day."
Brother and sister Annie and Edward Simpson were also there and Annie brought along a piece of schoolwork to present to the Duke.
The Duke was presented with a basket of LED lights and Cumbrian sausages. Picking out a light and holding it aloft, he joked: "What I'll do is I'll put this on The Queen's desk for you."
Addressing staff and invited guests, His Royal Highness said: "(Forge Europa) has the potential to deliver a huge amount, not only for the local community but for the international one as well. Lighting and energy efficiency is one of the best ways that we can contribute towards the effects of climate change. I hope that not only will this new centre get a lot of footfall but will generate a lot of jobs and work in the local community."
Peter Barton, managing director said, "We are delighted that, not only has The Duke of York taken the time to open our new facility, but he has also taken such a personal and well informed interest in the future of product innovation in the UK."

Work-Hour Minimums
From Gomerpedia
Work-hour minimums refer to regulations by the ACGME dictating that the work week be no fewer than 20 hours.
On December 4, 2016, the Dermatology Residency Program at Washington University at St. Louis was placed on probation after work-hour minimums were violated several times over a 5-year span.[1] This is contrast to all of the surgical subspecialties, which received a special commendation by the ACGME on December 5, 2016 for their "stellar work not only surpassing the work-hour minimums but also soaring above the work-hour restrictions." None of the subspecialties have had time to pick up their awards.

I have an apple ID a .mac one, which I use to sign into itunes store and app purchaces on iphone and itunes on my MBA and also signed into the App store on my MBA and used it to start up my MBA when first purchased. Now I want to move away from this apple ID i had, and create a new one, which will give me a new email address, so therefore a new Itunes account username for the app store on my iphone and MBA and a new itunes store account. Whats the best way of doing this? is it a matter of creating a new account and simply signing out of all my old username accounts on the above places I have signed into? How would this affect the apple ID on my current MBA, also I take it, I would not be able to access all my previous purchases on my prev username? Does this make sense? Hope someone can help and advise. Its a personal reason why I want to use a complete diff new apple ID before someone asks. Thanks in advance abz

Hello MissDiva,
There is no built in feature but yes it's possible to set a minimum quantity of a product. When you add quantity property to your product and add the option properties, you simply start the option from that minimum quantity.
I created a demo for you: http://form.jotformpro.com/form/32465804515959
In this demo, I have set the minimum qty of banana to be 3, now the moment you select banana the qty by default will be 3.
How you can do it:
1. Add payment question in your form.
2. Add a product.
3. Select the product from the list and then click "Add quantity property" (don't select custom quantity checkbox.)
4. In the "Add New Option" window, enter the required quantity. By default it will have 1 - 10 but if you want to set 3 as minimum quantity, start it only from 3 -10.
Hope this helps.
Thank you!

Northwestern New Mexico Itineraries
If You Have 2 or 3 Days
The only way to tour this region adequately in two days is if you're incorporating your trip into a journey west into Arizona (via Gallup or Farmington), northwest into Utah (via Farmington), or north into Colorado (via Farmington). In three days, however, you can make a nice loop of the region's top sites: drive west from Albuquerque on Interstate 40, stopping in Acoma Pueblo before continuing west to Gallup. Spend the late afternoon shopping the old trading posts there, have dinner at Earl's, and stay overnight at the atmospheric El Rancho —or, if it's not too late, head south to spend the night in Zuni Pueblo at the special Inn at Halona. On Day 2, if you stayed in Gallup, head south on NM 602 to Zuni, take a tour of the Middle Village, then head east on NM 53 to El Morro National Monument and then El Malpais. If you've got a third day, spend the night at a refreshing forest hideaway, Cimarron Rose Bed & Breakfast, or at a chain property in Grants, then get up early and head north to spend as much time as you can manage in Chaco Culture National Historical Park before heading back (exiting via the north entrance) to Albuquerque.
If You Have 5 to 7 Days
In five to seven days you can get a real sense for the past and present of northwestern New Mexico. On Day 1, drive west on Interstate 40, pause at Laguna Pueblo, then continue on to Acoma Pueblo, then loop down along NM 53 for short hikes at El Malpais or the Ice Cave and Bandera Crater, or head to El Morro National Monument. Camp there or stay at a nearby B&B. On Day 2, dawdle on the Ancient Way Trail, detour to the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, then go on to explore Zuni Pueblo. Enjoy the afternoon of Day 3 in Gallup by strolling past the murals in historic Downtown, watching Indian dances, and staying at El Rancho. On Day 4, follow U.S. 491 (via Shiprock) to Farmington and visit some of New Mexico's oldest trading posts en route, or backtrack to NM 371, visiting the Bisti Wilderness Area along the way. Day 5 can take you to Aztec Ruins National Monument, Salmon Ruins, or Navajo Lake. Then plan to spend at least a day exploring Chaco Culture National Historical Park from your base in Farmington, and plan a stop at El Bruno's in Cuba on your way home.

Make a cake inspired by the 2010 Dreamworks film "How to Train Your Dragon" for your child next birthday party, cake competition or other event. The film follows the adventures of a young viking who, despite aspirations to hunt dragons, becomes the friend of one. Toothless, the black dragon he befriends, is a cuddly creature that you can be recreate as a fondant cake decoration. Create cakes in the shape of Toothless and other dragons from the film, or use dragon fondant decorations to decorate round and sheet cakes.
Things You'll Need
- 8- or 10-inch round cake pans
- Cake mix
- Buttercream frosting
- Fondant
- Marshmallow fondant
- Black coloring gel
- Green coloring gel
- Yellow coloring gel
- Blue coloring gel
- Toothpicks
- Images from the film (optional)
- Plastic container (optional)
- Cake plate
- Sparkling candles
Bake an 8- to 10-inch round, two-layer cake. Use any type of cake desired (yellow, chocolate, marble, strawberry, vanilla). Allow each part of the cake to cool. Stack the layers on top of one another using buttercream frosting as the "glue" between them.
Frost the cake in sky-blue marshmallow fondant (purchase or make your own). Sculpt some white fondant into the shape of Toothless, the black dragon friend of the movie's main character. Toothless's body is a basic dragon shape with a rounded head and thick tail that forms a point on its end. Use toothpicks to hold the head and the body together and stills from the film as guidance if necessary.
Color the Toothless fondant shape with black coloring gel. Use yellow coloring gel for the eyes. Place the shape on top of the cake. Use a bit of buttercream frosting to hold the dragon in place.
Make grass out of green-colored fondant to use as the border around the bottom of the cake. Use white fondant to shape clouds and attach them around the cake using buttercream frosting.
Add sparkling candles around the dragon's mouth when presenting the cake.

Vision TF40 Touch Treadmill Review
treadmill Doctor Note :
Touchscreen makes for nearly a $4500 foldup. Great foldup with a crazy-high price tag.
The most expensive foldup that Vision has ever made. Wonder if we can get Lifefitness to make a foldup of their club model to compete with Vision.
The Vision TF40 Touch is the most expensive fold-up treadmill you are going to find. It is essentially the TF40 Classic with significantly more programming options and a touchscreen. At $4,399, it costs $1,400 more. You can also opt for the TF40 Elegant, which has more programming options than the Classic but less than the Touch, for $3,599. The Elegant does not come with the touchscreen, however.
The walking area is a good size. The belt measures in at 20" x 60", which has become the standard size walking belt that is found on many of today's treadmills. This should provide plenty of room for larger users to run on comfortably without altering their stride.
An uncompetitive motor powers this machine. There are a few models that sell for $2,000 that have similar power producing capabilities. Still, speeds of up to 12 mph are attainable, so even experienced runners should have no problem challenging themselves.
A cushioning system that is disappointing in this price range comes on this model. Ultra Zone cushioning is used to reduce the impact that running has on your joints and back. Proform has a few sub-$1,000 treadmills that offer similarly forgiving and durable running surfaces.
As far as projected reliability is concerned, this machine is okay. You can, however, find several treadmills in this price range that have an even longer life expectancies. The quality of parts used is also nice but unspectacular at this high of a cost.
The warranty on the Vision TF40 Touch is great. Labor is covered for 2 years; parts are covered for 7 years; and the motor, frame, and cushioning are covered for life. This is the kind of coverage you hope for when you're asked to make such a large investment in your treadmill.

Willmar Utilities, seven other utilities form planning group
BLUE EARTH -- Willmar Municipal Utilities and seven other electric utilities have announced the formation of the Resource Planning Coalition.
The coalition will conduct power supply planning for the participants to look at their aggregate long-term resource needs. The coalition will then seek requests for proposals in early fall to find resources to serve the power supply needs of each participant.
Collectively, the coalition will be looking for up to 700 megawatts of base load, intermediate and peaking resources, including both long-term purchases and project ownership opportunities, to supply their aggregated needs for the next five to 30 years.
"We are very pleased that the participants are willing to work together to seek options for their individual and mutual benefit and to achieve economies of scale in such activities," said Bruce Gomm, Willmar Municipal Utilities general manager and chairman of the coalition's coordinating committee. "Our collective goal is to find the best long-term, stable prices possible for the retail customers we serve."
Coalition project manager will be Central Minnesota Municipal Power Agency of Blue Earth. Central Minnesota deputy CEO Steve Thompson said his agency will manage the planning and request for proposal evaluation process.
"We will analyze and assess the power supply needs of the individual participants and identify the optimal resource mix, which results in the least-cost plan for each of the participants,'' he said.
Other participants are Upper Midwest Municipal Power Agency, Nashwauk Public Utilities Commission, Elk River Municipal Utilities, Dahlberg Light and Power Company, Northwestern Wisconsin Electric Company and North Central Power Co. Inc.

Please confirm that you want to add Play Violin and Fiddle for beginners - it's fun - Course 1 to your Wishlist.
This course teaches students the first steps in learning how to play the violin. So if you've just got a new violin and don't know where to start it's the perfect beginners course for you.
The course videos last less than an hour but you can expect to have to practice each individual lesson repeatedly to get good results. Everybody learns at a different pace so it's important that you just work through the course steadily at you own individual speed.
The course starts right at the beginning and teaches you hold to hold the violin and bow. How to identify the different parts of the violin. How to tune the strings correctly. How to position the bow on the strings and make simple bowing movements. Then a 3 finger pattern is demonstrated so that you can play different notes correctly. Finally all the newly learned techniques are combined and you will be taught how to play three simple traditional tunes.
There's no fluff in this course and technical jargon and music theory has been kept to a minimum, I have concentrated on teaching good practical techniques and tried to make them as enjoyable and fun to learn as I can.
I believe that everyone has the ability to learn an instrument if they have the right mental attitude and are prepared to put a bit of work in. So if you if you fancy learning the violin join me now and I'll have you playing a simple tune in a matter of a few hours!.
This brief introduction explains what will be taught on the course
In this lesson you will learn how to care for your violin, how to tune it and maintain tuning. You will learn the names of the different strings
In this lecture you will learn how to hold the violin and pluck the strings. You will be shown how to hold the bow and how to tighten the hair before playing and loosen it after playing. You will be shown the impotance of elbow position during bowing.
This lecture introduces musical sentences as a way of practising changes of rhythym when bowing. Straight smooth bowing is also demonstrated.
In this lecture you will learn a basic finger pattern to produce new notes. The importance of left hand wrist position is also explained.
In this lecture you will learn to play the tune "Mary had a little Lamb" in different keys
In this lecture you will learn how to play the traditional tune "Peas pudding hot"
A simple quiz to check that you understand a few basic things about playing the violin

In this lesson you will be taught how to play the traditional tune "You are my Sunshine". The whole tune is broken down into simple step by step parts.
I have played the violin for most of my life - over 20 years. I have a huge passion for this wonderful and versatile instrument! I have been classically trained and have passed all eight grades with The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) and was awarded a Merit at Grade eight. Alongside the classical training I have received, I have also developed and adapted my skillset to suit a more traditional style of music. I have played in Country, Reggae, Ceildgh, Indie, Folk and Irish Groups and while doing so taught myself to 'play by ear' and improvise. I perform regularly at events, weddings and pubs (I'm also proud to boast that I have performed live on the radio and for Sky TV too!). I love playing, and the enjoyment it gives others, but over the years I have also found a huge satisfaction in teaching, and passing my skills onto others. I have many years experience in tuition, and have almost 100% pass rate for all my students who have sat the ABRSM Graded exams. (With the exception of one student, who overcame her nerves and did pass on her second attempt.) I currently teach three days a week at a local secondary school, where I offer tuition in the violin, piano and flute. I believe that my teaching style is coherent, patient and enthusiastic. I am confident that this is conveyed in my online video courses too. I take a huge pride in all of my students' journeys and success, and should you take my course, I will endeavour to respond to all queries as soon as I can, offering you continued support as you master the wonderful instrument that is the violin!

Just today Bethesda Softworks announced that Human Head Studios' forthcoming follow-up to Prey was not cancelled but had been delayed into 2013. Rumors had started circulating last month that suggested the project had been scrapped, and based on the game's lack of marketing those rumors seemed pretty plausible.
Luckily one of E3 2011's standouts is still making progress, or at least that's what Bethesda wanted us to believe. While the official statement regarding Prey 2 suggested that Bethesda wasn't satisfied with the quality of the game, a new story has surfaced that says it was the developer's contract that was holding things up.
In protest of their contract, Human Head deliberately stopped work on Prey 2 in the hopes that Bethesda parent company ZeniMax would restructure the deal. In that time the developer was hit with some sizeable lay-offs, and it seemed pretty unlikely that Human Head would return to the project.
This inside source, which comes to us by way of Shacknews, couldn't provide further insight into the game's development after the first of March (leading us to believe he was part of the game's lay-offs), but apparently things were moving along. The source also claims that the real headway was being made with another of Human Head's projects, which may or may not be a sequel to Rune.
So, taking into account both Bethesda's official statement and this unofficial one from a Human Head insider it seems like things might not be going as well as we were led to believe — at least for Human Head. If one were to project the future, it feels more likely that Bethesda has pulled Human Head from developmental duties on Prey 2 and is taking the project elsewhere.
What Human Head showed at E3, and the first trailer for the game, had a lot of promise, but apparently that wasn't nearly as polished as they were leading us to believe.
Would you still be interested in Prey 2 if the project were with another developer? Should the sequel have had closer ties to the original?

Rancher Stan
Stash (Stan the Rancher) lives on a 120 acre ranch in Stevens Point with his son, daughter in law and 4 wonderful grand-kids. Stash has been removing the O'so spent grain from day one. He has grown his herd to over 40 head and the steer love him for it.
Stash says that the grain he gets from O'so allows him to be a more sustainable ranch because he doesn't have to plant corn or soybean which means he doesn't have to use herbicides or pesticides. He also uses no commercial fertilizer, instead choosing to use manure.
You can find Stash chumming around with his grand-kids, fixing broken stuff and converting light beer drinkers in country bars to O'so fans.

England fans who spent months worrying whether the national football team would qualify for next year's World Cup in Brazil were able to breathe a sigh of relief thanks to the victory over Poland at Wembley. But now they have something else to fret about – whether they can afford to attend.
After Roy Hodgson's side booked their place with the 2-0 victory over Poland, England's official travel agency on Wednesday reported a 400% increase in visits to its website, even though it will be months before it is known where and who the national team will play.
The surge in traffic came despite the fact that the only package so far on offer ahead of the December draw that will determine who England will play and where is a £6,995 deal guaranteeing tickets, travel and accommodation for each of the three group games wherever they are played.
Those fans with pockets deep enough to get to Brazil will encounter one of the most expensive and logistically challenging tournaments of recent times.
England supporters who travelled to Rio for a friendly earlier this year said even hostels were charging upwards of £200 a night. Some hotels are asking up to £800 a night during the tournament in June and July next year.
The Brazilian hotel industry association has said: "During the cup, the cost of everything will go up. That's the market."
But the main challenge will be the sheer size of the country, the fifth largest in the world. There is a distance of 2,900 miles between the newly built Arena Amazonia in Manaus, deep in the Amazon rainforest in the north, and the Estádio Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre in the south.
Fifa – which has come under pressure from Brazilian protesters concerned that money that could have been invested in underfunded public services has been diverted into building stadiums that could end up as white elephants – has been criticised for its approach to the group stages.
By refusing to stage each group in a geographical cluster, fans will be forced to pore over internal flight timetables and jump on to the website to try to book seats on planes them the minute the draw is made on 6 December.
Those wanting to travel by air from Rio de Janeiro to São Paulo – a distance of 200 miles – where the opening match is scheduled, are already facing return air fares as high as £720.
In June, British Airways' fares to Rio start from £897 return and to São Paulo from £963 return, including taxes, fees and charges.
Nor are match tickets cheap. Fans can either take their chances through the Fifa website or, if they are members of the Englandfans official club, they may qualify for those allocated to the FA.
Fifa recently revealed that a total of 6.15m requests for tickets were made during the first phase of ticket sales, more than 70% of those from Brazil. About 1m of the total of 3.3m tickets were made available in the first phase. Almost 97,000 of those requests were from England, the sixth highest total.
Following criticism in South Africa – where the last World Cup was held in 2010 – Fifa has attempted to make more tickets available to local buyers and sell concessionary tickets at more realistic prices.
But for international buyers, prices range from $90 to $175 (£56 to £110) for the group stages; $110 to $220 for the round of 16; $165 to $330 for the quarter-finals; and $275 to $660 for the semi-finals. For the final, the cheapest tickets cost an eye-watering $440 while the most expensive are $990.
Mark Perryman, a spokesman for the official Englandfans group, said a likely bill of about £5,000 for fans looking to stay for the duration of the tournament would put many off – despite the belated surge of optimism surrounding Hodgson's team and the attractions of a World Cup the home of the "beautiful game".
"From what I'm hearing, a lot of people will decide to miss this one out. We've had two expensive tournaments on the bounce in South Africa and Poland/Ukraine, and we've got a pretty cheap one coming up in France in two years' time," Perryman said.
"The ones who are definitely travelling are old sorts. They know for a fact that the prices of hotels and internal flights will plummet come next March – they are single blokes who can take a risk. It puts off the families," he said.
But he believed that concerns over security and crime, likely to come to the fore as the tournament gets nearer, would be regarded as overplayed by most fans in light of their recent tournament experiences.
"Let's get this into perspective. Since 2006 the newspapers have told us we're going to be raped, carjacked and murdered whatever country we're playing in, whether it's South Africa or Brazil or Ukraine," said Perryman.
"We had a wonderful time in South Africa and Ukraine and I'm sure we'll have a wonderful time in Brazil."
The FA can now begin planning in earnest and on Tuesday night received confirmation from Fifa that its first choice hotel for the team, the Royal Tulip in Rio, had been booked. The chosen training ground, on a nearby military base, is 25 minutes away by road.
Hodgson will attempt to strike a balance between the austerity of Fabio Capello's regime in Rustenburg in 2010 and the opposite extreme of Baden-Baden in 2006, when Sven Göran-Eriksson's chosen base became the focal point for a tabloid circus.
England were planning to stay in the Windsor Atlantica on Copacabana beach, following the Euro 2012 model of trying to give the players a feeling for the atmosphere of the tournament and encouraging them to be "good tourists".
But when it emerged a huge fanzone was planned outside the hotel, the FA turned its attentions to the Royal Tulip hotel in the shadow of Sugar Loaf mountain on São Conrado beach. They hope to use the practice facilities at the nearby Urca navy base.
The multilingual England manager, who said he struggled to sleep on Tuesday night after goals from Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard sealed England's qualification, called for realism over England's chances in a bid to quell the hype that will now inevitably start to build.
But Hodgson, who coached Switzerland to the 1994 World Cup in the US, said no stone would be left unturned in ensuring his squad was well prepared.
"We'll think a lot about what the best things will be to get the players in the best possible shape to play. The atmosphere in the training camp and the way they can lead their daily lives has a big impact," he said.

She's one of the addicts from this show that I actually would like to know in real life (sober). I really hope she's well now.
