Anaheim will be missing out on a key defensemen during this game. Cam Fowler is out of the game, and for the next four to six weeks, he will be sidelined. The Ducks are currently 3-3-1 and this game is the start of a four game road trip. Whether they can win on the road is questionable, but we can be sure that they will give their all. Fowler is suffering what seems like a knee injury. He fell into the boards, a missed most of the Ducks' 6-2 win that night.
The Flyers are also missing a key player in defense. This is Andrew MacDonald, who is out for a similar time frame with the same injury. The Flyers are currently 5-3-0 and are currently closing out a five game homestand. MacDonald's injury comes from an attempted block shot, but he soldiered through until the end of the game. This is a significant loss, because the pairing of him and Ivan Provorov is currently the best pairing in the league, and the Flyers will miss this dearly. This will be an interesting game for neutrals and even more fun for fans. If you want to watch this game. see above to find out where you can watch it and when. This is a close matchup of teams in similar situations, it's bound to be a good one.

Verk Arkitektur is a Norwegian-British architecture, art and design studio based on a farm outside Oslo. This location gives an opportunity for large scale explorations and in-house workshop facilities as well as an influential co-existence with the cycle of organic farming, nature and place.
We believe that our surroundings deeply influence us and that architecture, art and design can greatly enrich the quality of people's lives. Our ambition is to create functional, modest and beautifully-crafted buildings and objects which engage people's emotions, senses and minds. All projects aim to be distinct in identity and rich in character whilst embracing existing conditions that enable them to enter into a meaningful dialogue with their surroundings. In this way we hope to create works of lasting value which will evolve together with people and place, enriched by the process of how forms, meanings and materials change through time, use and the seasons.
The word 'verk' is a Norwegian word which can be translated into English as a 'work' - a finished piece; the process of 'working' - the creative experience; and a place of 'work' - specifically, a site of production. We chose the Norwegian name Verk Arkitektur because, although international in our outlook and experience, we are a Norwegian based practice interested in locality and committed to delivering quality architectural objects and using the potential of the architectural process. The facilitator to all these aims is our work-place.
We enjoy being engaged in a varied range of project types and scales and view this diversity as essential to challenging and enriching our practice. Current projects include small buildings, refurbishments, interiors, installations, workshops, research papers and bespoke furniture.

Jacquelyn Palmer, MD is Butler County's First Hidden Scar™ Certified Breast Surgeon
Mercy Health – Cincinnati, which provides advanced, compassionate, quality care in your neighborhood through its care network, announces that Jacquelyn Palmer, MD of Mercy Health – Fairfield Breast Surgery has earned certification as a Hidden Scar™ certified breast surgeon.
Dr. Palmer, a fellowship-trained, board-certified surgical breast oncologist, recently completed the Hidden Scar™ certification program and is the only Hidden Scar™ certified surgeon in Butler County. With Dr. Palmer's certification, Mercy Health – Fairfield Hospital, where Dr. Palmer performs surgery, is an official "Hidden Scar™ Center."
"Hidden Scar™ breast cancer surgery is an advanced approach to treating breast cancer while optimizing cosmetic results," says Dr. Palmer. "I remove cancerous tissue through a single incision made in an inconspicuous area to minimize visible scarring, which helps patients retain the look of their breasts."
Hidden Scar™ surgeries benefit breast cancer patients by:
- sparing the nipple, areola and surrounding tissue to preserve a natural-looking breast
- easing the emotional impact of breast cancer surgery by leaving little to no visible reminder of the surgery
- providing a more natural looking breast reconstruction
Patients who have Hidden Scar surgery are at no higher risk of their cancer recurring than patients who undergo any other type of breast cancer surgery technique.
"Hidden Scar breast cancer surgery may be appropriate for a wide range of breast cancer patients undergoing nipple-sparing mastectomy or breast-conserving (lumpectomy) procedures," says Dr. Palmer. "Tumor size and location, breast shape and size and a patient's ability to undergo risks associated with surgery determine if a woman qualifies for Hidden Scar surgery."
Breast surgeon and surgical oncologist Hilary Shapiro-Wright, DO, of Mercy Health – Kenwood Breast Surgery, is undergoing certification and will offer Hidden Scar surgery at The Jewish Hospital in the coming months.
To learn more about this new, minimally-invasive technique for breast cancer surgery, call 513-924-8535.

text: The 8HP is a very modern 8 speed transmission automatic transmission built and designed by ZF Friedrichshafen AG. It has a very steep first gear ratio of 4.696:1 and a very generous overdrive gear of 0.667:1. This help immensely with off the line performance and gas mileage. This transmission can handle very high horsepower motors with a torque capacity of 516 lb.ft. It weights a mere 200 lbs, which is fairly light in weight for a transmission of this strength. The transmission is unique because it is not designed by a single automotive brand. Instead, it is designed by an aftermarket company and used in many different makes and models. It can be found in the Audi A6 and the Q5, the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, the BMW 7 series and the X5, The Dodge Challenger, The Jaguar XF, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Maserati Ghibli, The Ram 1500, the Rolls Royse Wraith and the Volkswagen Amarok. It was also found in the Ranger Roger Sport.

It is true that any art is intended for the viewer who is expected to have a refined taste and certain astuteness to be able to perceive an object of art. This is the eternal law of creative dialogue. However swift the development of art and society can be, nothing can change this postulate. Hence a well-known expression "Art demands sacrifice" acquires the following connotation: a need to create an environment conductive to continuous artistic education of the viewer and patiently cultivate his taste.
With the attainment of independence the process of educating the masses and introducing general public to the achievements of global and domestic national art has been galvanized. With support from the state and government institutions, international art biennale and both collective and personal exhibitions of local and foreign artists are held, and large-scale festive programmes involving creative-musical performances are organized, which is all covered by mass media.
According to the programme, each day of the Week was dedicated to a separate topic: painting and graphic art, sculpture, miniature, design, applied art and crafts.
The opening ceremony that took place on April 21 was attended by government officials and representatives of general public, mass media, culture and art. It was followed by a concert programme, which, along with well-known performers, also presented students of the Republican Fine and Applied Art Lyceum; an exhibition called "Inspiration", dedicated to the Day of the Artist, was opened. Students of the Textile Institute demonstrated garments designed by them.
On the CEH premises and outside the building they organized a sale exhibition of applied art items; and in the Hall itself, as well as in a nearby shady garden both the acclaimed masters of brush and young artists created paintings, giving the audience an opportunity to get in touch with the magical world of creative inspiration.
Throughout the whole week, during each evening they demonstrated documentary films about famous painters and cultural workers of the country, such as Alexander Volkov, Igor Savitskiy, Ruzy Choriev, Chinghiz Akhmarov and Joldasbek Kuttimuradov.
The diverse programme of the Week also introduced the collection of traditional attire designed by a creative team led by Khalida Komilova, and items wrought by regional units of the designer team. The audience admired colourful pieces authored by famous potters and representatives of other crafts.
During the Week, the viewers had a chance to observe how beauty is born, how artists create pieces of book and lacquered miniature, sculpture, painting, stained-glass and mosaic, plaster carving and pottery. For instance, the amateurs of art had an opportunity to witness the creation of a painting wrought by the artist Abdumannon Yunusov before the eyes of the spectators: clad in an ancient costume, a horseman modeled for the painter in the AAU garden.
Tursunali Kuziev noted that "Such contacts between the viewer and the artist are practiced not only in our country, but also at some famous exhibitions such as Venice Biennale and Seoul Exhibition. As a result of such communication, an artist gets an opportunity to know the viewer's opinion both on his own work and on creative work in general and bears witness of the impression his piece produces on the viewer".
The Pictorial Art Week was a starting point in the formation of new types of relationship between the acolytes and admirers of beauty. Artists who ran master-classes received a lot of questions, such as "Where did you study and who did you learn from?", "Which genre interests you most: graphic arts, painting or sculpture?", "Which style do you prefer?" and so on. The questions of the audience were answered by artists M. Sadykov, J. Rakhmani, R. Azizov, S. Sharipov, Kh. Aminov…
Along with venerable artists, the activities of the Week also engaged students of the AAU schools, whose works portraying the world seen through the children's eyes caused keen interest.
Art galleries and antique shops of the city also took part in the Pictorial Art Week. At the closing ceremony of the Week its most active participants received different awards: certificates, memorial and valuable gifts and diplomas. The Gold Medal of the AAU was awarded to the art historian Negmat Abdullaev, and the Silver Medal went to Abduvali Egamberdiev.
The Hero of Uzbekistan, famous master of carving Abdugani Abdullaev expressed his feelings by saying, "I am delighted to have witnessed this wonderful event. Giving awards to the participants I thank wholeheartedly those who organized it, thus fulfilling the dreams of both art workers and all the people".
At the closing ceremony of the Pictorial Art Week in Tashkent, accompanied by the sound of the AAU song performed by the People's Artist of Uzbekistan Miassar Razzakova (music by Rustam Abdullaev, lyrics by Nodir Normatov) the banner bearing the emblem of the event was lowered. In 2008 it will be raised again.

I didn't study that much. I feel bad about it.
What more with the time constrain, I feel like I'm gonna be needing waaaay more than 1 week to study.
Anyways, my study week started off with a nonsense drag.
I have to go back to USM for a few times for a meeting and others.
Then of course, the mandatory 3 day hibernate after the stressful sem.
Which leaves me with less than 5 days before my first paper.
So I went to Tesco to ease my conscious by buying stuff.
Yey, after using my brain power to mentally imagine body ball and yoga mat for like a few months, I finally got it!
And.... They kick my abs's butt hard...
Then, I went out with mah best bud Rach.
She is as loving as usual, we stand as Women's 38 association and gossiped the whole afternoon.
Ahhh, good days.
Her mom, 林老师, was a really good cook!
Japanese Curry as dinner!!
We definitely enjoyed it a bunch!
(aaaaaaaand we took a shaky photo in the car in the end)
I'd like to shout out to Rach, for always being there and for all the awesome things u do.
You rock gurl!

"I wish someone would show this movie on TV so that it would reach a bigger audience. It's amazing. I don't know how anyone that didn't change their mind after either reading the Book or seeing the Movie. Thank you #AMDOCS for showing it in Palm Springs 2 years ago"
Overlooked Suspect Movie Testimonials
So nothing ever seemed right about that trial. After all of his bizarre behavior, I thought he was probably guilty or knew something about the murders. However, the media never seemed to let it drop. The media seemed like vengeful furies intent on turning the story back in the direction of his guilt.
JDavis wrote in the Washinton Post Sept. 25, 2015
I thought it was OJ too, until I read about his son, and now I think Jason did it. How could he not have done it? He had everything--the knives (he was a chef who took them everywhere), the motive (infatuation with his step-mother), and the documented rage in which he once held a knife to his girlfriend's throat....more
Clyde4 wrote in the Washinton Post Sept. 25, 2015
The DNA evidence (one in a billion chance) can not differentiate between a father and son - they have the closest DNA possible. So all that DNA "one in a billion" odds has to be thrown out the window regarding OJs son. All the other evidence presented in the case applies equally to the son and OJ (son lived in that house on his father's property and had access to the car, his father's shoes, father's gloves, etc.). I believe that the odds that the son did it are very high - much higher than the odds that OJ did. Of course - OJ couldn't make this case in court: he was likely covering for his son
keno213 wrote in the Washinton Post Sept. 25, 2015
Bull....they are just saying he's guilty because of the White reaction and the power of ownership. The white public owns this sentiment and it's played out over and over again by comedians, pundits and talk radio. What do you expect? Some Blacks just have given in for the sake of conversation. You never here anything on t.v. that talks about OJ's innocence. Nothing....not one opinion of program.
Giantsmax wrote in the Washinton Post Sept. 25, 2015
I have read it was OJ's son who killed Nicole, and OJ was protecting him. The son wore the hat, the son was charged in previous attempts of harm using a knife ( his former girlfriend), the son had been in psyche wards
hitx wrote in the Washinton Post Sept. 25, 2015
Does it not strike you odd, Lois, that after 20 years of one of the most watched and analyzed trials of the century that not ONE shred of evidence or ONE witness has been presented to suggest anyone else but O.J. was involved? Hmm....
kay6 wrote in the Washinton Post Sept. 25, 2015
Guess I'm in the minority here but I think O.J.'s son committed the murders and O.J. knew it and covered for him

There is a really good documentary about the OJ trial that examines the failures of the prosecutors and the LAPD & how those failures resulted in a not guilty verdict. ...
OhMy wrote in the Washinton Post Sept. 25, 2015
There were too many games played by the prosecutor to get an accurate idea of just what happened. In addition the prosecutor never considered any other possibility than that O. J. Was the murderer. The trial was a scandal.
Louis Penberth wrote in the Washinton Post Sept. 25, 2015
I am a white woman and I watched the trial every and all day. I believe OJ is INNOCENT. They never looked for anyone else. I have over 30 books and spent the last 20 years looking over every detail.
"There is so much more in the new book but if you don't do anything else, see this movie. Guaranteed to change your mind on OJ verdict!"

"I love this movie was made because its how I saw things at the time . I told someone after the trial that Jason did it and they thought I was crazy . Im making them watch this when it comes out . EVERYONE should see this!!!""The sad thing is nothing will ever be done because too many people will never let it happen . If they start looking at Jason than it would mean they were wrong about OJ and there was a conspiracy to convict him.

Film Review: Overlooked Suspect By: Melissa Gonik
The film follows William Dear as he compiles evidence for over 16 years on the murders of O.J.'s wife, Nicole, and her friend, Ron Goldman. With video footage and evidence, the Director is able to create an incredibly compelling film that manages to make a 19.5 year old case very relevant again.
The film begins with a montage of news footage from the time of the double murders. The way that it intercuts with each other doesn't only tell the audience the story of the case, it also manages to convey the sense of urgency that existed, which really puts the audience in the mindset of the time. The film doesn't shy away from using the gruesome photos of the crime scene to emphasize the devastation the murders caused. Seeing the mangled bodies of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman puts everything in perspective like nothing else could, and I commend the filmmakers for not censoring the images for the film.
What really made the documentary compelling, other than the evidence that was gathered, was the way a mixture of footage, talking heads, and graphics were all used to prove points. Often, documentaries stick to talking heads, having people explaining everything to the camera rather than demonstrating the facts. Here, we even have transcripts from depositions read by voice actors so that the facts can be shown and also remain interesting to watch. The talking heads the film does have are all experts at what they do, which removes the documentary of much of the bias it would have if anyone connected to the Simpson family was interviewed.
The purpose of the documentary was to showcase that O.J. was innocent, and that the real murderer was likely his son, Jason. Over 16 years, William Dear and his team researched anything that might help find truth in the case, and over that time they accumulated evidence that clearly showcased O.J.'s innocence.
One may ask why Dear is so insistent on still pursuing O.J.'s innocence so long after the incident occurred and the accused was acquitted. O.J. was never convicted of the murder, so nobody really lost.
Nobody, other than all the people with Jason Simpson comes in contact with, who have to deal with his violent and erratic behavior. Even if justice is never really served, the filmmakers have put a compelling case into a great documentary, and anyone who has an opportunity to view it again, it is highly recommended.

Looking forward to the Wynne Layers show.
Fashion month continues at QVC – have you treated yourself yet? I'm such a fashion fan and I've been loving being able to try some of the key autumn/winter looks this month… more below, as well as a sneaky peek at three great fashion offers.
But first – and sort of staying with fashion – I do love a cute cat video, and Hercules the QVC cat came up trumps this week when he invaded one of our fashion shows. If you haven't heard about Hercules yet, he's a cat who lives in Chiswick near our building but has sort of adopted QVC as a second home. He's here nearly every day and is just gorgeous! This is what happened when we filmed part of of our Clarks shoes show outside in Chiswick Park, and Hercules wanted a piece of the CATwalk action:
Now some quickfire fashion for you – first my final two picks from our autumn collections, and this week it's all about the stripy dress! I love both of these – the blue one is Yong Kim and the shirt dress is Ronen Chen.
And now a quick look at some upcoming Today's Special Value offers. First, on Monday 21st a baby boucle knit sleeveless waistcoat from a new range by the fabulous Marla Wynne called Wynne Layers. This is all about casual, comfortable, easy-care, easy-wear separates which can be layered, and are simple in style so easy to accessorise to increase their versatility. As you'd expect from Marla, the range uses quality yarns and a gorgeous colour palette but prices are a little lower than the main range which is nice! The waistcoat is very elegant and drapes beautifully, and comes in off-white, prairie sand, grey (pictured on me!). mahogany rose and black.
Then on Tuesday 22nd it's Vionic and a lovely suede trainer that comes in five colours – four are pictured here (burgundy, charcoal, tan and navy) and it is also available in black. This shoe is a small fit so it's recommended to go up a full size, but we will clarify this on the day! It's a really light trainer with the usual built in orthotic support, looks very sports luxe and is really comfortable.
And finally on Thursday 24th it's the Details faux fur hooded coat – a chance to get ahead for the autumn with a snuggly jacket! It comes in four colours – black (pictured), teal, fog and burgundy – and the ruched side panels give it a flattering shape, not at all 'boxy' like some padded jackets. The hood is detachable too which makes it more versatile. The price is superb – I can't tell you what it is but it is VERY good value!
And that's it for today!
Love Jackie x

Hi Pamela,
It was by C Wonder but I've just looked and it seems to have vanished from the website, must have sold out, sorry!
Firstly, love Hercules….he's made for TV! Jackie you made me laugh so loud…on Saturday morning I was watching the style channel and you were on with the guest from Join (love Join!!); you were talking about all sorts, (and the clothes got a look in now and again!)….then you started talking about your bald, eyeless teddy bear/dog I think it was….well I just fell about laughing! You are a brilliant fresh addition to the Q family, I really enjoy your shows, ultimate professional, and still so much fun…the genuine article… keep it up!

Hi Max
Oh gosh when Evie and I get together we do talk about such random stuff! That was Sleepy, the toy dog/bear/who knows? that I've had since I was a baby! So kind of you to say such lovely things, I really appreciate it. Thanks for getting in touch, hope you carry on enjoying the shows!

When we first moved here, we asked about Halloween and how/if it was celebrated. We were curious to see if we had another Headland Drive situation like we did in Discovery Bay. We were told that Halloween really hadn't caught on yet. Evidently, we didn't ask the right person, because Halloween is a thing here. Maybe not quite as big of a phenomemon as it is in the US, but it is an event.
One small example: today, I stepped into a Family Mart, which is another combini (slang for convenience store) for a quick snack and found a special Halloween Onigiri, white rice with a salmon circle on top:
We had a private trick or treating in our building from 6-8 pm. About 25 apartments participated preparing treats for an expected 17-20 costumed kids. We ended up giving out close to 40 treats. Not sure who did the math.

Much of the discussion below either quotes from or comments on
Ensign February 1992
Of the Quorum of the Twelve
This article from over two decades ago is a great example of the insights that are readily available to us from inspired men. Citizens who take seriously their responsibility to become well informed on matters of politics and government can find a treasure trove of wisdom with astonishing ease by starting their search on LDS.org where we found this article. Elder Oaks begins–
Not long after I began to teach law, an older professor asked me a challenging question about Latter-day Saints' belief in the United States Constitution. Earlier in his career he had taught at the University of Utah College of Law. There he met many Latter-day Saint law students. "They all seemed to believe that the Constitution was divinely inspired," he said, "but none of them could ever tell me what this meant or how it affected their interpretation of the Constitution." I took that challenge personally, and I have pondered it for many years.
Regrettably back then LDS law students had no answer to the question, "What does it mean to say that the Constitution is inspired?" On the other hand, Elder Oaks' response is an example worthy of imitation by other citizens. He pondered this important question for many years. After citing some of his experiences, Elder Oaks Continues–
My conclusions draw upon those experiences and upon a lifetime of studying the scriptures and the teachings of the living prophets. My opinions on this subject are personal and do not represent a statement in behalf of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Creation and Ratification
The United States Constitution was the first written constitution in the world. It has served Americans well, enhancing freedom and prosperity during the changed conditions of more than two hundred years. Frequently copied, it has become the United States' most important export. After two centuries, every nation in the world except six have adopted written constitutions, (See "The Constitution," Wilson Quarterly, Spring 1987, pp. 97, 126.) and the U.S. Constitution was a model for all of them. No wonder modern revelation says that God established the U.S. Constitution and that it "should be maintained for the rights and protection of all flesh, according to just and holy principles." (D&C 101:77.)
Just as Elder Oaks believes that the rest of the world has benefited from the United States as a model of virtue and freedom, so the Utah People's Party believes that the rest of the United States will benefit from Utah as a model of virtue and freedom. Elder Oaks continues–
… what is there in the text of the Constitution that is divinely inspired?
Reverence for the United States Constitution is so great that sometimes individuals speak as if its every word and phrase had the same standing as scripture. Personally, I have never considered it necessary to defend every line of the Constitution as scriptural. For example, I find nothing scriptural in the compromise on slavery or the minimum age or years of citizenship for congressmen, senators, or the president….
People's Party members are not among the individuals whom Elder Oaks refers to who "…speak as if its every word and phrase [of the United States Constitution] had the same standing as scripture." Rather we see Scripture and Constitution as having fundamentally distinct natures in the sight of God. This distinction can be best understood after learning some great fundamentals that Elder Oaks discusses in his article so back to Elder Oaks and what in the Constitution is divinely inspired–
On my list there are five great [divinely inspired] fundamentals.
The People's Party agrees with each one of Elder Oaks' five fundamentals and all five are discussed below. Below Elder Oaks quotes "President Clark" (J. Rueben Clark) who was at one time the chief lawyer of the U. S. State Department and later a counselor in the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Separation of powers
1. Separation of powers. The idea of separation of powers was at least a century old. The English Parliament achieved an initial separation of legislative and executive authority when they wrested certain powers from the king in the revolution of 1688. The concept of separation of powers became well established in the American colonies. State constitutions adopted during the Revolution distinguished between the executive, legislative, and judicial functions. Thus, a document commenting on the proposed Massachusetts Constitution of 1778, speaks familiarly of the principle "that the legislative, judicial, and executive powers are to be lodged in different hands, that each branch is to be independent, and further, to be so balanced, and be able to exert such checks upon the others, as will preserve it from dependence on, or a union with them." (Quoted in Gerhard Casper, "Constitutionalism," Occasional Papers from the Law School, The University of Chicago, no. 22 (1987).)
Thus, we see that the inspiration on the idea of separation of powers came long before the U.S. Constitutional Convention. The inspiration in the convention was in its original and remarkably successful adaptation of the idea of separation of powers to the practical needs of a national government. The delegates found just the right combination to assure the integrity of each branch, appropriately checked and balanced with the others. As President Clark said:
"It is this union of independence and dependence of these branches—legislative, executive and judicial—and of the governmental functions possessed by each of them, that constitutes the marvelous genius of this unrivaled document. … As I see it, it was here that the divine inspiration came. It was truly a miracle." ( Church News, 29 Nov. 1952, p. 12, quoted in Hillam, "By the Hands of Wise Men," p. 48.)
Now days the ruling class in America pays lip service to Separation of Powers but excuses itself from practicing that separation. The People's Party denounces as unconstitutional those executive orders that purport to bind persons just as laws do. A Law by any other name is still a law and as such requires the approval of the legislative branch of government. Federal courts also frequently exercise unconstitutional legislative powers when they declare unconstitutional state laws that do not violate any provision of the Constitution as correctly interpreted. The practical effect of these creative interpretations of the Constitution is like the judicial branch of the federal government deciding to make itself an additional house of the legislature of every state.
Bill of Rights
2. A written bill of rights. This second great fundamental came by amendment, but I think Americans all look upon the Bill of Rights as part of the inspired work of the Founding Fathers. The idea of a bill of rights was not new. Once again, the inspiration was in the brilliant, practical implementation of preexisting principles. Almost six hundred years earlier, King John had subscribed the Magna Charta, which contained a written guarantee of some rights for certain of his subjects. The English Parliament had guaranteed individual rights against royal power in the English Bill of Rights of 1689. Even more recently, some of the charters used in the establishment of the American colonies had written guarantees of liberties and privileges, with which the delegates were familiar.
I have always felt that the United States Constitution's closest approach to scriptural stature is in the phrasing of our Bill of Rights. Without the free exercise of religion, America could not have served as the host nation for the restoration of the gospel, which began just three decades after the Bill of Rights was ratified. I also see scriptural stature in the concept and wording of the freedoms of speech and press, the right to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures, the requirements that there must be probable cause for an arrest and that accused persons must have a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury, and the guarantee that a person will not be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. President Ezra Taft Benson has said, "Reason, necessity, tradition, and religious conviction all lead me to accept the divine origin of these rights." (Ezra Taft Benson, The Constitution, a Heavenly Banner, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1986, p. 6.)
The Declaration of Independence had posited these truths to be "self-evident," that all men "are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights," and that governments are instituted "to secure these Rights." This inspired Constitution was established to provide a practical guarantee of these God-given rights (see D&C 101:77), and the language implementing that godly objective is scriptural to me.
We agree with Elder Oaks that the rights protected by the Bill of Rights are sacred. The Bill of Rights was written to make clear some limits on the powers of the federal government. Remember that according to the declaration of independence, which we quote elsewhere, the legitimate mission of the Federal government is to secure God given rights. For that government to be itself the violator of sacred rights is not fulfillment of its legitimate mission but rather defiance of its legitimate mission. What could be more fundamentally wrong than that?
Division of Powers or Federalism
3. Division of powers. Another inspired fundamental of the U.S. Constitution is its federal system, which divides government powers between the nation and the various states. Unlike the inspired adaptations mentioned earlier, this division of sovereignty was unprecedented in theory or practice. In a day when it is fashionable to assume that the government has the power and means to right every wrong, we should remember that the U.S. Constitution limits the national government to the exercise of powers expressly granted to it. The Tenth Amendment provides:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited to it by the States, are reserved to the States respectively or to the people."
This principle of limited national powers, with all residuary powers reserved to the people or to the state and local governments, which are most responsive to the people, is one of the great fundamentals of the U.S. Constitution.
The particular powers that are reserved to the states are part of the inspiration. For example, the power to make laws on personal relationships is reserved to the states. Thus, laws of marriage and family rights and duties are state laws. This would have been changed by the proposed Equal Rights Amendment (E.R.A.). When the First Presidency opposed the E.R.A., they cited the way it would have changed various legal rules having to do with the family, a result they characterized as "a moral rather than a legal issue." ( First Presidency letter of 12 Oct. 1978. ) I would add my belief that the most fundamental legal and political objection to the proposed E.R.A. was that it would effect a significant reallocation of law-making power from the states to the federal government.
The current ruling class has forgotten completely that under the Constitution a state is mostly a self governing entity. The Utah People's Party is not satisfied with statehood is name only and works diligently to implement the tenth amendment to the U. S. Constitution, an amendment that Elder Oaks quotes above.
Popular Sovereignty
4. Popular sovereignty. Perhaps the most important of the great fundamentals of the inspired Constitution is the principle of popular sovereignty: The people are the source of government power. Along with many religious people, Latter-day Saints affirm that God gave the power to the people, and the people consented to a constitution that delegated certain powers to the government. Sovereignty is not inherent in a state or nation just because it has the power that comes from force of arms. Sovereignty does not come from the divine right of a king, who grants his subjects such power as he pleases or is forced to concede, as in Magna Charta. The sovereign power is in the people. I believe this is one of the great meanings in the revelation which tells us that God established the Constitution of the United States,
"That every man may act … according to the moral agency which I have given unto him, that every man may be accountable for his own sins in the day of judgment.
"Therefore, it is not right that any man should be in bondage one to another.
"And for this purpose have I established the Constitution of this land." (D&C 101:78–80.)
In other words, the most desirable condition for the effective exercise of God-given moral agency is a condition of maximum freedom and responsibility. In this condition men are accountable for their own sins and cannot blame their political conditions on their bondage to a king or a tyrant. This condition is achieved when the people are sovereign, as they are under the Constitution God established in the United States. From this it follows that the most important words in the United States Constitution are the words in the preamble: "We, the people of the United States … do ordain and establish this Constitution."
President Ezra Taft Benson expressed the fundamental principle of popular sovereignty when he said, "We [the people] are superior to government and should remain master over it, not the other way around." (Benson, The Constitution, a Heavenly Banner, p. 7.)
The Book of Mormon explains that principle in these words:
"An unrighteous king doth pervert the ways of all righteousness. …
"Therefore, choose you by the voice of this people, judges, that ye may be judged according to the laws. …
"Now it is not common that the voice of the people desireth anything contrary to that which is right; but it is common for the lesser part of the people to desire that which is not right; therefore this shall ye observe and make it your law—to do your business by the voice of the people." (Mosiah 29:23–26.)
Popular sovereignty necessarily implies popular responsibility. Instead of blaming their troubles on a king or other sovereign, all citizens must share the burdens and responsibilities of governing. As the Book of Mormon teaches, "The burden should come upon all the people, that every man might bear his part." (Mosiah 29:34.)
President Clark's third great fundamental was the equality of all men before the law. I believe that to be a corollary of popular sovereignty. When power comes from the people, there is no legitimacy in legal castes or classes or in failing to provide all citizens the equal protection of the laws.
The delegates to the Constitutional Convention did not originate the idea of popular sovereignty, since they lived in a century when many philosophers had argued that political power originated in a social contract. But the United States Constitution provided the first implementation of this principle. After two centuries in which Americans may have taken popular sovereignty for granted, it is helpful to be reminded of the difficulties in that pioneering effort.
To begin with, a direct democracy was impractical for a country of four million people and about a half million square miles. As a result, the delegates had to design the structure of a constitutional, representative democracy, what they called "a Republican Form of Government." (14. U.S. Constitution, Art. IV, Sec. 4.)
The delegates also had to resolve whether a constitution adopted by popular sovereignty could be amended, and if so, how.
Finally, the delegates had to decide how minority rights could be protected when the government was, by definition, controlled by the majority of the sovereign people.
A government based on popular sovereignty must be responsive to the people, but it must also be stable or it cannot govern. A constitution must therefore give government the power to withstand the cries of a majority of the people in the short run, though it must obviously be subject to their direction in the long run.
Without some government stability against an outraged majority, government could not protect minority rights. As President Clark declared:
"The Constitution was framed in order to protect minorities. That is the purpose of written constitutions. In order that the minorities might be protected in the matter of amendments under our Constitution, the Lord required that the amendments should be made only through the operation of very large majorities—two-thirds for action in the Senate, and three-fourths as among the states. This is the inspired, prescribed order." ( J. Reuben Clark: Selected Papers on Religion, Education, and Youth, ed. David H. Yarn, Jr., Provo, Utah: Brigham Young University Press, 1984, p. 165.)
The delegates to the Constitutional Convention achieved the required balance between popular sovereignty and stability through a power of amendment that was ultimately available but deliberately slow. Only in this way could the government have the certainty of stability, the protection of minority rights, and the potential of change, all at the same time.
The popular sovereignty referred to above is the right of the general citizenry, including the supporters of every party or no party, to set limits on the powers of government and to hold government officials accountable. The People's Party shows its seriousness about popular sovereignty by eliminating the devises that the elite of the major parties use to dilute the ability of the rank and file party members to set limits on the authority of those elites or hold the elites accountable. For example, the major parties allow their convention delegates to keep every vote they cast at conventions a secret from the rank and file party members who are their constituents thus making it impossible for the constituents find out about a vote cast against their wishes. In contrast, the People's Party does not allow any person of elite status in the party to keep any decision secret from the party members. It often happens that a person serves as a party officer first and then later becomes a candidate for public office. Such a person is much more likely to respect the sovereignty of the citizenry as a government official if he had to respect the ownership and control of the party membership when a party officer. On the other hand a person who could get away with anything as a party officer is likely based no that experience to expect to get away with anything later as a government official.
Rule of Law
5. The rule of law and not of men. Further, there is divine inspiration in the fundamental underlying premise of this whole constitutional order. All the blessings enjoyed under the United States Constitution are dependent upon the rule of law. That is why President J. Reuben Clark said, "Our allegiance run[s] to the Constitution and to the principles which it embodies, and not to individuals." (16. Ibid., p. 43.) The rule of law is the basis of liberty.
As the Lord declared in modern revelation, constitutional laws are justifiable before him, "and the law also maketh you free." (D&C 98:5–8.) The self-control by which citizens subject themselves to law strengthens the freedom of all citizens and honors the divinely inspired Constitution.
The Lord's authorized representatives speak repeatedly of the duties of citizens. They do so because God blesses us with good government when we are worthy of good government. Responsible citizenship is what makes us worthy of good government. This is one of the most basic teachings of the prophets and of the People's Party. Good government cannot be provided to passive citizens because the right politician won an election or because the worst possible candidate did not win a election. Bad politicians and bad government are the symptoms. Bad citizens are the disease. The cure is the repentance of the citizens.
Citizen Responsibilities
U.S. citizens have an inspired Constitution, and therefore, what? Does the belief that the U.S. Constitution is divinely inspired affect citizens' behavior toward law and government? It should and it does.
U.S. citizens should follow the First Presidency's counsel to study the Constitution. (First Presidency letter of 15 Jan. 1987.) They should be familiar with its great fundamentals: the separation of powers, the individual guarantees in the Bill of Rights, the structure of federalism, the sovereignty of the people, and the principles of the rule of the law. They should oppose any infringement of these inspired fundamentals.
They should be law-abiding citizens, supportive of national, state, and local governments. The twelfth Article of Faith declares:
"We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law."
The Church's official declaration of belief states:
"We believe that governments were instituted of God for the benefit of man; and that he holds men accountable for their acts in relation to them. …
"We believe that all men are bound to sustain and uphold the respective governments in which they reside." (D&C 134:1, 5.)
Those who enjoy the blessings of liberty under a divinely inspired constitution should promote morality, and they should practice what the Founding Fathers called "civic virtue." In his address on the U.S. Constitution, President Ezra Taft Benson quoted this important observation by John Adams, the second president of the United States:
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." ( Benson, The Constitution, a Heavenly Banner, p. 23.)
Similarly, James Madison, who is known as the "Father of the Constitution," stated his assumption that there had to be "sufficient virtue among men for self-government." He argued in the Federalist Papers that "republican government presupposes the existence of these qualities in a higher degree than any other form." ( The Federalist, no. 55.)
It is part of our civic duty to be moral in our conduct toward all people. There is no place in responsible citizenship for dishonesty or deceit or for willful law breaking of any kind. We believe with the author of Proverbs that "righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." (Prov. 14:34.) The personal righteousness of citizens will strengthen a nation more than the force of its arms.
Citizens should also be practitioners of civic virtue in their conduct toward government. They should be ever willing to fulfill the duties of citizenship. This includes compulsory duties like military service and the numerous voluntary actions they must take if they are to preserve the principle of limited government through citizen self-reliance. For example, since U.S. citizens value the right of trial by jury, they must be willing to serve on juries, even those involving unsavory subject matter. Citizens who favor morality cannot leave the enforcement of moral laws to jurors who oppose them.

I want you to meet a friend of mine - he's decided to eat healthy.
Breakfast: 1 cup Muesli in non-fat milk; with a side of toast (no butter) + a glass of orange juice Lunch: Subway sandwich + oatmeal cookie (coz hey, it is oats, and thus healthy - an actual quote, not something am making up) Pre-Workout Snack: A Clif Bar During and Post-workout: 500ml gatorade, coz we need those electrolytes yo! Dinner: Roti (Indian bread) + dal (lentils)
You wanna know how much sugar* there is in a "healthy" day like this - A grand total of 80g of sugar in a single day! On a "healthy" diet, no less! Forget macro-nutrient ratios, forget grain intake - focus on the 80g of sugar! High sugar consumption leads down a path where the star attractions are cardiovascular disease, fatigue, diabetes, obesity, and their friends. It is estimated that Americans consume about 90g of sugar every day, and looks like my "healthy" friend is a lot closer to being tubby than healthy. I hope his question of "Where's my six-pack at?" is answered now. * not carbs, even though carbs are sugar. You get what am trying to say The Sugar High We eat so much sugar today that our senses are blunted by it, and we require more sugar to be stimulated. It is an addiction! Sugars have a high reward value associated with them, by increasing dopamine and serotonin levels. And once these levels go down, your body starts craving more sugar, to get back the same "sugar high". Next time you get up to get your fix, think about that. I stopped eating sugar "cold turkey". One month after doing that, I was able to taste so much more flavours in everyday foods, and other foods that I had regularly consumed tasted way too sweet and inedible. The purpose of this post is to show you that many "healthy" foods that we consume are anything but! I will illustrate this point by comparing the sugar content of those foods, side-by-side with foods we (hopefully) know are not that good for us. And once you're alarmed enough, and ready to put down that cookie (or jalebi), I'll help you get your facts straight and get you started on your path to a healthier relationship with your favorite monster - sugar! Just to be clear — both sets of foods are sugar monsters that don't do you much good. Eat Real Food instead, and you're golden. If a serving of food contains more than 15g of sugar, it is closer to dessert than to food. If you want to know why sugar ain't a great thing, watch the video below. [hr] Let's look at sugar content in some food items, at a regular serving size. The foods in the "healthy" corner are - your protein bar, your morning cereal, your awesomely healthy sandwich at lunch. The evil guys over at the unhealthy corner are - the oh-so-delicious gulab jamun, and India's favourite snack - Good Day biscuits. Warning: Graphic content follows. [caption id="attachment_1367" align="aligncenter" width="412" caption="L to R: The healthy team (protein bar, breakfast cereal, Subway sandwich); The evil team (gulab jamun, biscuits)"][/caption] A Clif Bar, or similar protein/health/cereal/whatever bar has 25g of sugar per bar, which is more than the amount of sugar in a single jamun! Isn't that ridiculous? And your healthy lunch (a Chicken Teriyaki or any similar "guilt-free" sandwich at Subway) has about the same sugar as eating a few Good Day Biscuits! Most "heart-healthy" cereals aren't that much better. In case it wasn't obvious, every food item here is above the 15g=dessert bench mark. [hr] Same thing now - let's look at some beverages. [caption id="attachment_1366" align="aligncenter" width="409" caption="L to R: The healthy team (freshly squeezed orange juice, Gatorade, Complan); The evil team (beer, coke)"][/caption] About 300ml of freshly squeezed orange juice contains 30g of sugar - more than a 330ml can of Coca-Cola. Gatorade and Complan aren't any better - and in fact, have higher sugar content than beer! Again - way above the 15g=dessert benchmark. [hr] **You know my methods, Watson. **- Protein bars = candy bars. Stop eating them. Eat an apple instead.
- Read the nutrition labels for all the foods you buy. Cereals contain a lot of sugar - be careful when you pick one. And yes, there are certainly healthier options than cereal for breakfast.
- Try to eat fruits in a form that closely resembles how it looks on a tree. Juices, jam etc., just fruit-flavoured sugar.
- Yes. One really fat dude lost a ton of weight eating at Subway. This dude lost 27 pounds eating twinkies - wanna give it a go?
- I'd rather eat a gulab jamun after my post-workout meal, over a Clif bar pre-workout!
- Biscuits. Oh biscuits. Why do I wanna punch you in the face and stuff you in my tummy at the same time? Did you know diabetics are told that it is okay to consume biscuits regularly?! Ridiculously stupid people like this are the reason my diabetic mom stocks biscuits as a snack - I get my sister to throw them out when she can.
- Coconut water > Gatorade. Hands down.
- Liquid foods are an easy way to over-consume calories. Stick to solid foods whenever possible.
- Not a recommendation to drink beer over Gatorade. But hey, if you skip the gatorades, the beer might go down even more guilt-free, if that's possible :)
- Stop drinking soft drinks, if you haven't done so already. Sugar-free or not, they are crap for you.
- If you are a Complan boy/girl, it is about time to grow up. Doubt if Bournvita, Boost etc are better. Do your homework.
Tips to Avoid Sugar Cravings- Reduce stress
- Eat just one tablespoon of coconut oil, or butter, or ghee. This might work for some people, and satiate their sugar craving.
- Eat more protein, and fats in your meals. A well-balanced meal will keep you fuller for longer, and stop you from reaching for that cookie jar.
- Reduce cardio, and aerobic work. This makes you crave sugar, as you are depleting your supply of glycogen. Switch to resistance training instead.
- Eat more starchy vegetables. Starchy veggies are your best source of carbs!
- Eat Real Food!
[hr] This post is inspired by a similar post over at Summer Tomato. I am going to use the same benchmark as her, the 15g of sugar. A relevant excerpt from the post, > In her book What To Eat, Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition at NYU and blogger at Food Politics suggests that any food that contains more than 15 grams of sugar per serving is closer to dessert than anything else. Though this number is arbitrary, it is a good benchmark for evaluating food products.
Note: How I came up with the numbers for the graphs: Some are straightforward - via the nutritional information. For some, I picked a recipe that is representative, and calculated the sugar. And I am not using the serving sizes that the box recommends, coz that is nowhere close to the actual servings one eats. The box serving size is simply there to fool you. [hr] Please share this post - via Twitter, Facebook, and whatever crazy new things that you kids are using! Thanks peeps, and Happy Monday!

I had mentioned in the previous post about ds being patient in his stroller (at the state fair). Not wanting that to end and knowing we were dangerously close, I took him for a walk to find an appropriate place for a rock/cigarette butt/paper eating toddler to burn some energy. The first place we came upon was the gentleman selling hog panels (I only know what these are from stories Paperman has from his days on the farm), livestock waterers and other farm equipment. The salesman looked friendly enough, the grass was semi green and clean so I let ds out of the stroller. He was so happy to be able to move on his own he plopped right down, took his shoes off, and even laid down in the nice shady spot. Thank you Mr. Hog Panel selling man.

My friend Peter
Peter, a good friend of mine from Truman, now has a LiveJournal blog. You can go to it by clicking here:
I'm back
Well, a lot has happened since my last post. I apologize to anyone who has been stopping by in the last few weeks and finding nothing new. Here's a rundown of what's happened. I preached at ACC on 7-20, basically giving an overview of classical apologetics. Then Brandon and Keri Smith were visiting from Sunday to Tuesday. We had a lot of fun with them and their new baby, Eden. I spent the rest of the week getting ready for the sermon I gave on 7-27. This message was based on three chapters in the Phillip Yancey's book Reaching for the Invisible God. It was about the stages we go through as we grow in our faith. Then on the next day, Monday 7-28, at 9 am 24 high schoolers and 9 adults left from the church for Tahlequah, Oklahoma for the week-long Christ in Youth Summer Conference. It was a blast. Maybe we'll see some comments from people who went on the trip. Or if anyone emails me some good pictures from the week, I can put them up here. I've also been doing a lot of reading and posting at the Mt. Juliet Church of Christ discussion board. At any rate, I'm back and ready to start posting more regularly.
Mr. Smith comes to Adrian
|Brandon, Keri and Eden Smith have been visiting at our house. Keri is holding Eden in the picture while Emma tries to figure out why the baby doesn't get down and play with her. She just kept offering her books and saying "hold it" and "get down." We've had a good time with the Smiths, some old friends from Truman.
this week = my nose + grindstone
I'm preaching this sunday and next sunday, so I haven't had a chance to keep the blog fresh. If you're in the 64720 area, come on by ACC at 8, 9:30 or 11 if you want to hear.
The vacation
After arriving in St. Louis on Wednesday afternoon we toured the Hudsons' lovely new house and settled in to our guest room. A big group of guys came to the Hudsons' Thursday night for Kevin's bachelor party. Friday night we watched fireworks by the river in downtown St. Charles. Kevin and Lauren's wedding was Saturday evening in Forrest Park at the World's Fair Pavillion. It was a great wedding and we got to see a bunch of our friend we haven't seen since last May. Sunday morning we went to church with Tim and Angie, and on Monday we took Emma to the zoo and to the Science Center. On Tuesday we rode the train home. It was a fun trip and we're glad to be back.
Home again
We're home from our trip. I'll be back with more information and some pictures from our stay in St. Louis.
We're there
We arrived safe, sound and 90 minutes late at the Kirkwood Amtrak station. Our friend Kevin (above left) was waiting patiently there for us. Kevin is getting married in 3 days, which is one of the reasons we?re in town. Kevin brought us to Tim and Angie?s house in St. Charles. Tim is the handsome man in the picture with two Apple computers. He?s a math teacher at Pattonville High School, and his wife, Angie, works in the administration at St. Anthony?s Hospital. They?re graciously letting us stay in the guest bedroom of their new house.
Aboard the 304
|I?m typing this on the train as we cruise through central Missouri. Each seat has an electrical outlet, so I don?t even have to use up the computer?s battery. So far we like traveling by train. It has several advantages over air travel. The seats and aisles are bigger, there?s more leg room, and we?re more able to get up and move around than we would be on a plane. In fact, the two seats behind us and the two in front of us are empty, so we have lots of room to play hide-and-seek with Emma or, as I?m doing now, to use the computer out of Emma?s reach. It also beats the airlines by costing about a third as much. It does take a little longer, however. We left Lee?s Summit at 8:30 am and we?re scheduled to get to Kirkwood (just outside of St. Louis) a little before 1:00. More to come.
Ridin' the rail
In the morning Sara, Emma and I will be boarding a train and heading to St. Louis for a week-long vacation. I've got the digital camera packed, so I'll try and post some pictures and updates from our trip while we're there. If the train ride goes well, maybe you'll want to try it. If so, you can check the rates at Amtrak.com. If the train derails and we die in a massive fire ball, you can register a complaint at Amtrak.com. Either way, we'll try and keep you posted.
Skeletons from my closet
Some of you may already know that I haven't always been a member of Adrian Christian Church. I grew up in a church that is somewhat different, viz., the Church of Christ. The main distinction is that the coC does not use any instruments during their worship service. This in itself is no problem as far as I'm concerned, because I don't think the Bible says we must or must not have a guitar or organ or accordian, etc. The problem comes when people in one group tell people in another group that they're all going to hell because they don't share the same opinion on a matter that the Bible leaves up in the air. I've spent a lot of time thinking about the reasons that my old church has for believing what it does and recently I've stumbled upon a coC discussion board (by a church in TN). I've found a friendly young man to discuss these things with and we've been bouncing around our ideas for almost a week now. If you want to read the discussion, here's the link: Mt. Juliet COC Discussion Board: Instruments?If you read the thread and have thoughts or even if you just have question about the issue, then post a comment back here and we can all talk about it.

I'm seeing stars this week! After a two-week hiatus from my weekly Spotlights, it's finally January! I have my work cut out for me on the New Release Spotlights this month. January is always a big month for new book releases, and you won't believe the number of starred reviews on this week's list. There are new titles from Malala Yousefzai, Kiersten White, Ibi Zoboi, Carole Boston Weatherford, Patricia McKissack, Jonah Winter...and let's not forget a little sequel from the author whose writing I've called "buttercream frosting"...Holly Black. In total, there are FIVE TITLES (!!!) this week that received three (or more) starred reviews, and nearly all of them received one or two starred reviews. I feel like I'm in a Lucky Charms commercials with all those purple stars I'm seeing!
Back in December, I tried doing a New Release Spotlight giveaway each week. I loved doing that! The New Release giveaways have been super-easy to arrange, so I plan to continue them in January. I can't promise to do them forever, but for now, I'm going to keep them going each week. I really enjoy seeing what everyone selects as their book, and I always love giving back to my readers. If it weren't for you guys, I'd be talking to an empty room right now. Not that that's so unusual for me, but still.
The giveaway is at the bottom of this post--don't forget to enter by Sunday night (CST)!
*cracks knuckles* On to the spotlight!
NOTE: Titles start with YA and go down in age to picture books at the end. Sequels are usually at the bottom, but I didn't find any sequels for this week other than The Wicked King, which is so big that I've given it a spot on the regular spotlight. Titles highlighted in purple are those that received two or more starred professional reviews.

Christopher Olszewski is a Native American visual artist and is currently a professor at the Savannah College of Art and Design. His project is a visual investigation into the Native American experience by tracing the footsteps of General George Armstrong Custer from Monroe, Michigan to Little Big Horn, Montana. He is driving a 2005 Pontiac Montana, which has be on display with a vinyl car cover at each location. The covers are painted and decoration with corporate logos, text and colorful design imagery. The public are invited to add to the drawn painted narratives that the cover (skin) collects from location to location, he was in Bozeman on July 14th. When the journey is complete, the vinyl car covers will be the foundation for Olszewski's visual exploration and used for exhibitions.
In 2012 he retraced the Trail of Tears from Echota, Georgia to Tahlequah, Oklahoma. While driving his 1992 Jeep Cherokee 3100 miles, he explored theories about cultural identity and contemporary images of Native American. The work that emerged from this vision quest was a series of vibrant collage drawings, paintings, large format drawing, photographs and videos. Each piece documented these complex struggles including Olszewski's own battle with identity, alcohol and assimilation. More of his work can be found at his website – olszewskiart.com

How much can yoga really do for you? A lot. Sarah Sanders, founder ofBrilliant Yoga, has designed various full-body routine that is a mind and body booster.
The following workout is built around classic poses, with challenging core and upper- and lower-body variations added for a fat-blasting twist.
Do the entire sequence four to five times through (keep at it for an hour) and you'll burn off the calorie equivalent of a banana split while sculpting your arms, chest, abs, butt, and legs and improving your flexibility.
1. Mountain Pose
Find alignment in your tailbone, pelvis, and belly; and then in your collarbones, shoulder blades, arms, and neck.
Finally, extend the pose through the crown of your head. To find your center of balance, slightly lean your whole body forward, then backward; then to the left, and then to the right.
2. Standing Forward Bend
Shift your weight slightly forward into the balls of your feet and notice how that changes the sensation in your hamstrings.
To come out of the pose, take a slight bend in the knees and place the hands on the hips.
With the core engaged, inhale to find a flat back and exhale all the way up to stand.
3.Backward Bend On Knees
4. Downward Dog
To correctly learn the spine-lengthening aspect of Downward Dog, first bend your knees in the pose, coming onto the balls of your feet.
Bring your shins parallel to the mat and keep your sit bones lifting high and back. Press your hips toward the wall behind you. Then, slowly begin to straighten your legs.
5. Chair Pose
Stay for 30 seconds to a minute. To come out of this pose straighten your knees with an inhalation, lifting strongly through the arms.
Exhale and release your arms to your sides into Tadasana. You can increase the strength of your thighs by squeezing a block or thick book between them during the pose.

Each site is logically separated and has its own configuration, maps, statistics, guest portal, and administrator read/write and read-only accounts.
WLAN Groups*
The UniFi Controller can manage flexible configurations of large deployments. Create multiple WLAN groups and assign them to an AP's radio.
Zero Handoff Roaming*†
With Ubiquiti's Zero Handoff Roaming, mobile users can roam anywhere and seamlessly maintain their connections as they switch to the nearest AP. Zero Handoff Roaming makes multiple APs appear as a single AP, so it can work with any client and requires no interaction from the client device.
