Optimum Nutrition is legendary for both quality and innovation. In addition to producing the world's best-selling whey protein, ON's Gold Standard 100% Casein™ introduced slow-digesting nighttime protein to the weight training world and Amino Energy created the anytime energy category in sports nutrition. When technology makes advancements possible, ON will be the company bringing it first to your shaker cup.
Or maybe it's more simple than that. Maybe it's because high-rep quad work burns more than anything else. Most lifters would much rather pile on the plates and do single-digit reps. That hurts, but it's a different kind of pain and strain. But 20 reps of an exercise that targets the quads, taken to failure or close to it? That's some soul-grinding, hypertrophy-inducing pain.
Stagnation is a signal from your body. It's telling you to change something. If you don't, what do you think will happen? Certainly not progress. We do need to push the envelope from time to time, but not all the time. The Olympics aren't held every week, all year round. They're once every four years. Have you ever considered looking at your own training with this kind of timeframe?
Don't finish your next workout with the same old set of curls. If you're looking for a simple way to burn fat, add muscle, and boost your strength, just pick up the nearest heavy object and take a walk!
These eight workouts are quickies. They'll get you in and out of the gym in no time. But, you'll still get your pump, still stimulate some growth, and still burn some fat. These routines will keep you in check.
Got a sharp pain deep inside your shoulder? Trying to bench press anyway? It's common among lifters. And they'll keep the area irritated by continuing to bench. It's time to modify your pressing routine. How? By benching without a bench. Here are six floor press variations that'll allow you to go heavy, and more importantly, allow your shoulders to heal.
The cool part about NALT is that it appears to do all this when the user is under stress. That could be college stress, work stress, relationship stress, stress caused by intense exercise, and even stressors like cold and heat. And when stress is abated other things affected by it improve, like libido.
Instead of collapsing all the way to the ground at the point of failure, collapse to the knees. This shifts the point of contact from the feet to the knees. From here it's just like a kneeling rollout. Complete the rep by pulling the wheel back and standing back up. This shouldn't feel as intense as full negatives, so shoot for 5-10 reps.
Every bodybuilder requires large amounts of protein – 1.5 grams per pound of bodyweight per day to keep growing. What you don't want too much of is fat. Although Aceto recommends staying away from fatty meats such as ham, prime rib and lamb as much as possible, you can load up on the turkey…parts of it, anyway. Turkey breast, without the skin, is some of the leanest protein around, providing more protein and less fat than chicken or red meat, he says.
No, this isn't an everyday thing, and no, it doesn't have to be a true 1RM. A solid 2-3 reps with a surprising weight is probably good enough. Make it your top priority by doing it first when you're fresh and ready to put out some real effort. Just be sure to warm up properly, and don't sacrifice good form just to get a new record.
The Velocity Diet is a science based, rapid body-transformation program that's so powerful and so effective that results border on being unbelievable. But this system is not for everyone.*
In a perfect world all of us would be able to grab about an hour's nap right after training to help our muscles and nervous system recover, but for most this is just not possible. I recommend that at the very least you avoid physically strenuous activity after working out. You should take at least a little time to just sit, relax and comfortably consume your post-workout meal. Weight training will only be effective if the body gets adequate rest to allow for the rebuilding process to take place.
If you've never experimented with this, you'll be blown away at the sympathetic response. In just a few rounds on both sides, your heart rate will be skyrocketing, your core and glutes will burn, and you may even get a little bit of a shake. Perfect. That's the type of response that builds grip and full-body strength.
It's no secret that protein plays a major role in repairing and rebuilding muscle. That's because the building blocks of protein, amino acids, are what come together to form your hard-earned muscle. But when the discussion turns to the optimal protein intake to maximize muscle growth, things quickly gets muddy. You'll find zealots swearing by numbers as various as a gram per kilo or pound of bodyweight, two grams, or even more. Further confusing things are all those legends about bodybuilders of yore crushing man-sized piles of eggs, fish, and steak on the daily.

The one thing that just about everyone can agree on is that eating fruits and vegetables is good for you, but just how good is always up for debate. In attempt to at least make a dent in solving that debate, scientists at the University of Sydney used data from more than a 150,000 Australians during the "Australian 45 and Up Study" and followed them for an average of 6.2 years.
For long-term orthopedic and functional success, you should be able to pick up a heavy object, stabilize, then walk with it. The inability to do so is a sign your grip is fragile and that you're susceptible to chronic issues in places like the lower back, shoulders, and elbows. So don't neglect these.
Here's why, plus much healthier ways to buy your nuts and make them taste awesome.
Grinding away hundreds of reps on shrugs using a half-inch range of motion won't cut it. It's just not a good use of time. The deadlift is. The deadlift is probably your strongest absolute lift. Milk it for all it's worth instead of letting hundreds of pounds of iron drop to the floor.
Even if you think bread is a devil carb, there's one type you should be eating. Take a look.
When it comes to functional hypertrophy of the arms, the slight angles for both hand and shoulder positions are far more advantageous than the common fully pronated, fully supinated, and neutral grip positions with a neutral shoulder. Why? Because the body functions in spiraling groups of muscle, fascia, and neural connections. These create tension. So limiting this irradiation reflex doesn't make sense. Instead, train it directly.
First of all, there will be no apologies. Debate? Sure. We can debate all night. But, We're sorry if you don't like our picks? Never. This is our list of the 25 greatest songs of all time to get you scowling, growling and heaving iron. We surveyed former and current pro bodybuilders, we collected hundreds of staff picks, and then we made difficult choices - all so we could say without hesitation: Here are the best training songs. Ever. Songs that shoot a visceral rush through your veins. Songs that drive you outside for parking-lot lunges in the cold. Songs that have you screaming like a crazed beast as you make the squat rack your indentured servant. Find these songs. Listen to them. But most important: Play them loud. We've included it all - rock , rap , you name it. So, take a look.
Supple muscles move better and are more efficient. When you have knots and "tangled-up" muscle fibers, you can't get as much strength or power out of them. You also may be more prone to injury, particularly when tight muscles inhibit your range of motion through a strength training exercise. Not only will foam rolling improve all of these aspects, it also aids in recovery, so you'll be able to lift again sooner. And once you get over the initial, er, discomfort, it can feel pretty great. So take that 5 minutes at the end of your workout to target the most-often tight muscle groups: mid-back, glutes, hams, quads, and calves. Seriously—that's one minute for the back, plus 30 seconds per side for each of the others. Done and done.
Here, we rehabilitate the reputation of "one" with 10 unilateral exercises you probably aren't doing so you can take a "one-sided" approach for better gains.
While the New York Giants continue to fail miserably at having a consistent running game, Rashad Jennings has remained the team's starter, recording sporadic performances of value. In recent weeks, however, rookie Paul Perkins has begun to emerge as a prime candidate to oust Jennings from the starting role. This past week against the Eagles, Perkins took a major step forward, leading the team in carries for just the second time this season. With Jennings over 30-years-old, Perkins is beginning to look like New York's running back of the future. In the short term, he could be given the lead role once again against the Redskins in Week 17. At this point, Jennings is too inconsistent to garner starts in the season finale. A Jennings swap in favor of Perkins could be in the cards for those counting on the eight-year veteran to win championships.Want to see the rest of the risers and fallers?

Great pre workout stack! For the price you are lucky to get a pre workout with half the ingredients (when on sale, when not it doesn't blow similiar priced pre stacks away so maybe pick it for the pump your prefere), especially for the quality that has always followed Universal Nutrition, plus you get to join team Animal which in my opinion is carving out a beast with Centopani. Only gripe is that there really isnt any initial like i want to grab this weighy type of aggresion but in trade it gives you a clean awake feeling your entire workout with zero crash! (really zero crash aspect is amazing with this.)
Here is my all time pr from todays "see where I'm at max out" lifting session. I'm happy to see where my form has gotten. If this exposes any weaknesses, let me know what you can see.

A blue-green algae that often pops up in questionable looking Day-Glo-colored "health food" drinks, spirulina can't be counted out on appearance alone. There is serious evidence that it has a variety of potentially helpful uses, including strengthening immunity, says Patel. Animal research on spirulina is strong; and though there hasn't been much testing done on humans, one 2008 study did find that taking 2g of spirulina a day for several months helped some men and women to overcome nasal allergies. "Spirulina is very safe, and may help to lower inflammation in the body, improving overall health as well," Patel adds.
For 20 years, the HYDROXYCUT name has been synonymous with results. And now next evolution of HYDROXYCUT is here. Two decades in the making, new HYDROXYCUT HARDCORE NEXT GEN features potent doses of key ingredients in unique, never-before-seen combinations to deliver the ultimate stimulant experience. It also contains green coffee for real weight loss results. Subjects taking the key ingredient in HYDROXYCUT HARDCORE NEXT GEN (green coffee extract [C. canephora robusta]) lost 10.95 lbs. in 60 days with a low-calorie diet and 3.7 lbs. in an 8-week study with a calorie-reduced diet and moderate exercise. Most thermogenic formulas don't have any scientific studies backing their key weight loss ingredients, let alone two.*
Control the descent of your last rep on the pull-up bar and maintain the tension and the position at the shoulder while squeezing the bar as hard as you can. Stay in that position, fighting the urge to go lax at the shoulders. Don't hang out on the capsule and ligaments.
So, you've let your gym membership slide and you're thinking you'll just wait 'til the post-New Year's deals before you re-sign up. Or you figure, with all the holiday parties and dinners you have lined up, you may as well wait until after January 1st to really commit to that new low-carb diet plan. Problem with this kind of thinking is that while you are waiting for the perfect time to make fitness your priority, you are packing on inches to your waist and getting further and further away from your goals. And, at this rate, it will take you until April just to get back to where you were in October.
One reason that this advice is so damaging is that nutrition is all about context. The perfect diet for a hardcharging athlete will be very different from that of someone trying to lose body fat. Therefore, this article will discuss some of the more harmful pieces of nutrition advice that are relevant to an informed and active population.

Learn how to crank up your workout and turn up your muscle-building gains
University of Rio de Janeiro researchers examined how rest periods affected testosterone levels in response to heavy-load, low-volume workouts. Each workout consisted of five sets of three reps using 85% of 1RM, with either a one- or three-minute rest period.
I personally don't sex and tell, so this is all just hypothetical, but one thing's for certain: Human sexuality is a rainbow of weird that's very hard to pin down. That means while it's good that you care about satisfying your partner, it's going to be impossible to predict what ingredients will add up to her "best sex ever"—so there's no point in agonizing over it or wasting brainpower trying to figure it out.
This is a great gymnastic movement that is an advanced version of traditional hanging leg raises . It utilizes the lats, core, hip flexors, biceps and smaller muscles in the back. This exercise requires the body to bow from a global extension (hanging hollow body position) to a global flexion (pike position). I don't recommend this exercise for everyone. You must master the hanging straight leg raise first. Once you get strong enough, I recommend doing low reps with NO kip action. Start by gripping a small dumbbell with your feet and perform 3 sets of 8 reps and then add weight as you progress.
You're drenched with sweat, you're starving, and your muscles ache all over, but the blood's still pumping and you know you've got a bit left in the tank. You also know that whether you're lifting, running, cycling, or doing CrossFit, that last bit of effort you put into any workout program can really push it to the next level—it's what separates a six-pack from, you know, a six-pack . So make your training really count using these proven workout finishers, customized for every fitness goal.
Saucony outfitted its award-winning trail runners with a fleece-lined, weatherproof upper that seals out slush and snow. But the soles are the true standout: The Vibram Arctic Grip, a cutting-edge rubber tread, latches on to slick, wet ice without the use of carbide studs, so you can go from black ice to bare pavement without slowing down.

As an example, few beginners enjoy leg day, and the one exercise they steer clear of the most is the squat. Leg extensions, on the other hand, well, they aren't so bad. But which one delivers more bang for your buck? That's easy: multijoint, free-weight exercises like the squat have been proven to be superior to single-joint moves and machine work. Multijoint moves have been linked to a greater release of muscle-building hormones like testosterone and growth hormone. Moreover, if you've avoided them until now, your muscles are likely to respond to a growth spurt.

The man who wants bigger triceps cannot live on pressdowns alone. Too often, we see guys in the gym—and maybe you're one of them—working his triceps to death at the cable pressdown station. Ten sets, 15 sets... whatever it takes to get them sore. But what the pressdown-happy masses don't seem to realize is that this exercise emphasizes the lateral (outer) head of the triceps. So if that's all you do, the other two heads of your tri's are going to be underdeveloped and you'll never get the kind of growth you're hoping for.

Well, i've been gaming and painting for over twenty years...although i did have a break of a couple of years while i tried to make it in the music industry...strangely, the world has so far resisted the lure of Cornish thrash punk...hard to believe, but there you go!
While i was working as a chef i started to work part time for Games Workshop in their Truro store - the sheer number of models i had to paint in a very short time meant i got good quickly, and kept improving (although some of my friends claim my painting pixies do most of the work...keep taking the pills guys!). While i was there i learned to play many games, but i enjoy playing Blood Bowl, Necromunda, Mordheim, Warmaster and Warhammer Ancients mainly...although a smattering of other games have wormed their way into my affections (Frag, Victory at Sea, Legends of the Old West etc). I started to play Warhammer roleplay while in school, GM'ing many, many sessions before i found the dark and eerie writings of HP Lovecraft and started running Call of Cthulhu games. Many character deaths later (isn't it strange how some players are determined to shoot their way out of a situation? Somehow they never last long...) and it's still one of my favourite games.
Think that's about it...i'd better get on, mini's to paint and all!
cheery bye!
(pics above show me in 1:1 scale with invisible pixies on the left, and mini me with visible pixies on the right...models from Hasslefree minis and Baccus 6mm)

Agh! We are so excited to be a vendor at this year's Rock N Roll Craft Show in St. Louis during Thanksgiving weekend. This is a super awesome event highlighting crafty goodness and music in St. Louis. We will be selling Hanukkah Projects as well as wristbands, Hanukkah cards and St. Louis postcards.
The event is Friday November 26th – Sunday November 28th at Third Degree Glass Factory in University City. There will be awesome products and art from 100 local vendors as well as lots of great music! The money we make will be spent pressing a Dubb Nubb and Cory Taylor Cox split 7″ record, to be released early next year. That's right, we are finally going to make our vinyl dreams come true!
In other Spesh Pass news, Lizzie is en route to the Virgin Islands to study bugs for the month of October. We expect to hear some new songs in the future from this experience. (also, I DONT love bugs, and luckily they don't love my bed!) Annie is being a totally hip scholar in New Jersey, and Hannah and Delia are figuring out where they are going to college. They are also playing lots of shows in the month of October, so head over to their website for more details. I especially recommend going to Foam to see Dubb Nubb with Little Red Lung & Stars Regardless on the 15th. Jackson people can catch those two at Sneaky Beans on the 16th!!!
I am just busy taking care of business, and possibly trying out for the roller derby team. I thought of some Spesh Pass derby names — Special Assenger, The Bash-lorette, Super Space Ship and Dubb Nubb are pretty good on their own? Really, I just went to one practice and found it very hard to stop and skate backwards, and pretty easy to fall incorrectly!
Hope to see your special assenger at a Dubb Nubb concert and the craft show!

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. It was just us three and the puppies as usual, but we had a nice, relaxing day. The good thing about being alone on Thanksgiving, or any other holiday, is that you can do what you want, when you want to do it. No rushing to get anywhere, no worries if something isn't clean enough, or something didn't turn out right. And, best of all… You can unzip your pants after dinner!
I had to work for a few hours in the morning, but when I got home, we watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and had a few drinks. My new favorite Fall drink is an Apple Cider "Martini." There are a hundred different variations, but mine includes 5 oz. Apple Cider, 1 oz. Tequila, 1 oz. Grand Marnier and a splash of Triple Sec. Yum!
I always try to make everything special on the holidays, even though it's just us. My Thanksgiving table looks pretty much the same year after year. Now that I'm more organized, I'd like to get some nice Turkey plates.
We had a nice meal, despite forgetting the cranberries and the yams. We aren't green bean casserole people.
After dinner, we Skyped with Family.
And napped…
And ate some more.
Even the puppies were in a Turkey Coma at the end of the day.
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, I'm ready for the Christmas fun to start! Are you ready?

Creator: Green, Edward J. and Oh, Soo-Nam. Series: Working paper (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Research Dept.) Number: 499 Abstract:
In this paper we explain why markets in noncontingent debt securities might be a stable form of market organization for intermediation to households. Efficient-contract allocation might be supported by these markets because households' relationships with their intermediaries do not exactly parallel the explicit form of the noncontingent contracts that they explicitly sign with one another. Also we show that the efficient-contract model can be distinguished from alternative models within the time-series framework that has been widely used to study households' consumption patterns.

Creator: Boyd, John H. and Smith, Bruce D., d. 2002. Series: Working paper (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Research Dept.) Number: 522 Abstract:
We consider a two country growth model with international capital markets. These markets fund capital investment in both countries, and operate subject to a costly state verification (CSV) problem. Investors in each country require some external finance, but also provide internal finance, which mitigates the CSV problem. When two identical (except for their initial capital stocks) economies are closed, they necessarily converge monotonically to the same steady state output level. Unrestricted international financial trade precludes otherwise identical economies from converging, and poor countries are necessarily net lenders to rich countries. Oscillation in real activity and international capital flows can occur.

The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge (2009) was first published in German in 1979. It is a thick book comprising a collection of drafts and preliminary work from the years 1930 to 1933 for Karl Popper's first published book Logik der Forschung (1934). The Logik der Forschung was not published in English until 1959 with the badly translated title Logic of Scientific Discovery, rather than Research which would have been less diverting from his message.
Popper seemed to have a habit of writing and then delaying publishing for decades. The delay in publication of the three volumes of the Postscript is the other notable example, written in the fifties and published in the eighties. It is unfortunate for generations of students that Kuhn, Lakatos, Feyerabend and others in the meantime interpreted Popper's work so separated from his actual writings that at times they may as well have been talking about something else entirely. It is not criticism that is an issue but misattribution of Popper's views before criticism. It reminds me of the time my Scottish grandfather was at a funeral and could not conjoin the content of the eulogy with the deceased subject, he leaned over and whispered "I think we are at the wrong funeral".
I recommend the purchase of The Two Fundamental Problems even if one only wants to read the introduction written by Popper in 1978. The introduction is as good a synopsis some of his core themes as I have read, startling in clarity and brilliance.
Some aphoristic points:
1. Plato's Apology of Socrates is perhaps the most beautiful philosophical work known. Socrates is a little wiser than others perhaps because he knows that he does not know.
2. For Kant, Newton's theory is not empirically gleaned from phenomena through the senses but is derived from our understanding. Kant believes Newton's theory is true, Popper adds that it is not necessarily so.
3. Up until the Einsteinian revolution, Newton's theory was corroborated better than anyone could have dreamed of. For Kant Newton's theory is justifiable science, and therefore certain knowledge. For Einstein knowledge about reality is uncertain.
4. Fallibilism destroys scientism.
5. Science is the searching for truth: not the possession of truth, but the quest for truth. The idea of truth as manifest is unfortunately widespread.
6. In Popper's view there is only one theory of truth that is to be seriously entertained: the correspondence theory; namely the thesis that the truth of a statement consists in its correspondence with the facts. The statement, "A cat is sleeping here", is true if and only if a cat is sleeping here, no matter what language "A cat is sleeping here" (the object language) is spoken in.
7. We must sharply distinguish between the question of whether a statement is decidable (whether we believe we can prove it true or false) and the question of its truth.
8. Universal theories are fundamentally hypothetical or conjectural because they are not decidably true. This does not mean however that they may not be true.
9. The criterion for demarcation (falsifiability) is non-empirical. It was not obtained by observing what scientists do or do not do whether by studying living scientists or by studying the history of science.
10. Theories such as the Einsteinian and Newtonian theories of gravitation have an infinite number of potential falsifiers.
11. I have strongly emphasised in The Logic of Scientific Discovery that there is almost certainly no such thing as indubitable (or final) falsification by observation.
12. The critical attitude is characterised by the fact that we try not to verify our theories but rather to falsify them. Naturally one should not dwell on errors that are easily repaired but, if possible, correct them before embarking on serious criticism.
13. It is not even possible to formulate a principle of induction that is moderately plausible.
14. The fundamental weakness of inductivism lies in its extremely popular but fundamentally erroneous tabula rasa theory of the human mind. We are active, creative, inventive, even if our inventions are controlled by natural selection. The stimulus-response scheme is replaced by the mutation-selection scheme (mutation= new action). Knowledge is not a passive expression of the "data" provided by the senses.
and last but not least
Problem of induction (Hume's problem) : "Can we know more than we know?"
Problem of demarcation (Kant's problem) : "When is a science not science?"
I think Popper's answer to these problems is: we don't know but we do guess and we can structure our guesses as criticisable and falsifiable.

This president is the most famous White House ghost
The White House is suspected of being haunted with some well-known ghosts.
According to the White House Historical Association, the most famous one is that of Abraham Lincoln whose otherworldly version was reportedly first recorded as being seen by a doorman in 1903.
In the 1940s, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill is said to have just finished bathing while staying at the White House when he saw Lincoln's apparition by the fireplace.
How each president has died
See Gallery
The statesman is believed to have told the ghost, "Good evening, Mr. President. You seem to have me at a disadvantage."
Lincoln's supernatural figure has also reportedly been spotted by Dwight Eisenhower, Jackie Kennedy, and President Ronald Reagan's daughter Maureen, among others.
Interestingly, according to historical accounts, Lincoln dismissed the idea that an afterlife exists.

I've made a significant amount of progress on my mini bedroom makeover. I bought the nightstands and pillowcases from West Elm, as well as the art from Ikea. I spontaneously picked up these lamps while I was at Ikea, but then I saved money by "borrowing" the curtains from my mom, and using the solid blue side of my Liberty of London for Target quilt I picked up a few years ago.
I love how symmetrical and bright and new everything is, which motivates me to make the bed and tidy up every morning (I'm not always the best with housekeeping). The bed faces the door, so as I enter the bedroom throughout the day, I get a little rush, like I'm walking into a hotel room, which further motivates me to keep the room looking nice.
The new look for the bedroom also just makes it so much more fun to hang out in there! Our long holiday weekend came to a close yesterday, but we were able to milk a little more leisure time out of it by lounging around all morning in our jammies.
Have you found that a room makeover (large or small) has changed the way you feel about a space? I think we all can have emotional reactions to beautifully photographed rooms, or even seeing a piece of furniture in person; does living in a "new" space change how you feel day to day?

I really like the "borrowed" curtains! Sparks up the entire room.

Was kindly asked to give my recommendations on what to see, do and eat in Stockholm. And since I love sharing the things not to be missed in this beautiful city, mainly off the boring tourist tracks, I happily said yes. I've been meaning to do one for years now, but never gotten around to it.
I already have several lists on Yelp on the subject but they are in Swedish and if you are like me, not a fan of Google translate, the only indications are my ratings, so I'll give you a few highlights here in blog. Some of my favourite places are a fair distance from Stockholm by car or bus, but the tips in the post to come will mainly be for inner city Stockholm and its nearby suburbs.
As I'll only chose a few to highlight in my next post - since I could go on and on forever... - you'll find the rest on the aforementioned Yelp-list in Swedish (there is one major one for "don't miss in Stockholm" but there are several others focusing on vegan/vegetarian restaurants and food-places, cosy cafes, thoughtful shopping, day trips etc).
When I began to compile the list I realised it will take quite some time to do so, thus I thought it would be nice to let you know it is at least coming along and will hopefully be finished this weekend.
Once upon a time I did a couple of Sweden Q&A, perhaps those can be of some use if you're planning a trip to Stockholm/Sweden to. Part one and part two.
And by all means, feel free to ask if you have any specific questions!
EDIT: My guide to Stockholm can now be found in this post.

I don't like to say I told you so, but...
What I have said before comes to pass in three of the posts I wrote for Marilyn Stowe's Family Law & Divorce Blog this week, which include:
The Marriage Foundation's figures disprove their case - The Foundation shoots itself in its dogmatic foot.
The dangers of unregulated McKenzie friends - As demonstrated by the recent story that a 'professional' McKenzie friend has been jailed for three years.
Domestic violence figures are sobering - A quick internet search gives pause for thought.
Headlines demonstrate futility of transparency effort - Recent headlines in certain national newspapers prove what I have said all along...
Have a good weekend.

The other day I was visiting my http://financiallyfree2bme.savingadvice.com/2009/03/16/a-sur... who loves to reminisce about her youth. My DF said she didn't realize how poor her family was until she was in about third grade. That's when some classmates started teasing about her threadbare, hand-me-down dresses. A lot of folks were poor back then, but it seems that with a large family, they were very poor. Her simple lunches consisted of rice with a few vegetables and sometimes a hard-cooked egg and a piece of fruit, taken to school in a little tin pail... an actual pail, not an insulated lunchbox.
Her mother prepared nutritious but economical meals that my DF loves to this day. Of course, now she knows the ingredients were more affordable for her family back then: rice, beans, oatmeal, potatoes, fruits and vegetables grown in the backyard garden, and bread baked at home. They ate a lot of soups, stews, and casseroles. Meat was a luxury and they ate very little of it.
My DF shared that her parents taught her to take care of her belongings and appreciate what she had, not covet what others had. And, in the midst of the Great Depression, they had very little. In the evenings, her parents read to their children, played cards, or the family listened to the radio. They seemed to focus on spending time together and enjoying being together as a family. All the kids had chores and if the older ones worked, they contributed most of their earnings to the family coffers.
I admire that my DF's parents raised their children to feel happy and positive about their lives, even though they were poor. While it's good parenting to educate children about money, it should not be done in a way that makes them anxious about "being poor." After all, a child is powerless to impact the family's finances. Kids thrive when they feel loved and safe, and it does not cost to provide these things. My DF is a prime example... not only did she thrive, she is a resilient and remarkable lady.

Make-Up Tips: Cover it Up!
For the best results you have to apply foundation to a well-prepared skin. Cleanse your face and apply moisturiser and allow the skin to absorb it before making up. Make-up artist Ina says, "Make sure your moisturiser is rich enough and covers any dry patches because the foundation will make the dry patches look worse." Ina also stressed that if your skin is really dehydrated and dry you should concentrate on improving that rather than covering it up.
Now for a completely natural look, use your foundation sparingly on the areas of the face that require coverage. Apply with a small brush to spots such as dark circles under the eye, corners of the nose and any blemishes you may have and then blend.
I think the best way to blend in foundation is to do it with your fingertips. All you do is gently press and pat until the concealer/foundation is rubbed in. Don't use a sweeping action because this will just wipe the product away.
Now if you are going out on a really big night and you want to apply a full coverage, apply first your foundation with a dry sponge, pressing and blending as you go from the centre of the face to the outer edges. Please don't forget to blend the makeup down into the throat area to avoid the dreaded tide mark around the jawline.

First, I cut adorable pieces of paper into 7.25" x 5.5" and then scored at the following measurements
Next, I folded the narrow flap and glued to the opposite flap, making a flat cylinder (well, you know what I mean).
With the sewing machine, sew one end of the paper - I chose the zig zag stitch but you can choose something more creative. After stuffing each of the pockets with some candy, sew the other end but in the opposite layout.
There are some additional ways to personalize these little darlings, like adding monograms or a picture. I also think that using maps for a going away party is a great idea.
Since we were celebrating a soon-to-be-Mrs., I used my Cricut machine and the "Tie the Knot" cartridge to cut lips, which I then glued to each favor.
Did you know that the original party favors were called bonbonnieres, small trinket boxes made of crystal, porcelain, and/or precious stones, and contained sweets to symbolize wealth and royalty?

When I was growing up, my mom always made us this delicious Matzah Brittle on Passover. Ok, so now that I'm gluten-free and dairy-free, I begged her to make it for me again. And my amazing mom did!! It's like heaven, melting in your mouth with a crunchy, sweet taste. My only critique is that after a few days, the GF matzah doesn't hold its crispness, but the taste is still there. It can be used year-round on other kinds of crackers. However, may family thinks there's no better cracker on the market than using GF Matzah and/or GF Matzah Crackers from Yehudah. The recipe I'm giving is a rough one since my mom never measures anything out.
The nice thing about Passover, is that anything that is certified Kosher for Passover (gebrocht), cannot contain any grain in it, which means soy is out, too. This is a good time to stock up.
Matzah Brittle Recipe (GF/DF)
Serving Size: about 9 whole matzah, serving about 12 people
Prep/Cook Time: it takes about 10 minutes to make from start to finish
- Yehudah GF Matzah (about 9 squares)
- about 1 cup of brown sugar (or more if you'd like)
- about 1 stick of butter = 1/2 cup of butter (I used Earth's Balance, Soy-free spread)
- Optional Toppings: Chocolate Chips (I use Enjoy Life), Coconut Flakes, Crushed Nuts
- Pre-heat oven to 350*F.
- Using 2 baking sheets, spray with grease or rub your butter/butter substitute on them. I prefer to put down parchment paper instead.
- Melt the butter and brown sugar together in the microwave for about 30 sec – 1 min (depending on the power of your microwave), or over a double boiler at a medium heat.
- While mixture is melting, lay out matzah squares on baking sheets.
- When mixture is melted, stir it together very well. (Melted, it shows about 2 cups on the liquid measurer). The Earth's Balance doesn't blend as well as butter, so you really have to stir it to keep it from settling.
- Using a spoon or ladle, pour mixture over matzah so that it is coating it.
- If adding toppings, add the toppings of your choice on top of the matzah and mixture.
- Bake in over for 6 minutes at 350*F.
- Let cool, and then break into piece.
- Store in airtight container.

The Dallas Stars franchise was relocated in 1993 from Bloomington, Minnesota where they were known as the North Stars and competed for 26 seasons. The North Stars were part of the NHL's 1967 expansion which included the California Seals (eventually merged with North Stars), Los Angeles Kings, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins and St. Louis Blues. Neal Broten, Brian Bellows, Dino Ciccarelli and Dave Gagner are the names that come to mind when the Minnesota North Stars are remembered. The North Stars made 2 Stanley Cup finals appearances, although they were defeated both times.
It wasn't until the after the franchise was relocated that the Stars would claim the Stanley Cup for the first time. In 1998-99, Mike Modano and Brett Hull led the Dallas Stars to their second consecutive President's trophy and eventually defeated the Buffalo Sabres in the Stanley Cup finals with a controversial goal by Hull in the 3rd overtime of game 6. The future of the team now rests on the shoulders of captain Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, Valeri Nichushkin, Alex Chiasson, young defenseman Trevor Daley and goaltender Kari Lehtonen.

Why Should My Fireplace Have an Inspection?
That is a very good question….and the simple answer is if you look at the banner pictures, you will see issues that were only discovered during a fireplace inspection. The majority of these were people purchasing their home and wanted the fireplace to be checked out. If you are going to be lighting a fire inside your home, you want to know if the fireplace is recommended for use.

Let me be absolutely clear: I don't support Donald, he– like every other contender– shouldn't be President, and he would be downright horrific for the cause of liberty.
But part of me delights in his success, the extent to which he has cast fear and outrage throughout the political world.
Here is the thing: on the path from neocon (as I originally tended toward without knowing it) to "Constitutional Conservative" to full out libertarian, one goes from supporting the party line no matter what, to only supporting the "serious candidates who will turn this nation around," to a certain sense of amusement at the circus currently on display. I'd say it's a free show, but the taxes I just completed tell another story.
At any rate, many Christian evangelicals are coming out of the woodwork to "stand up" against Donal Trump, citing a variety of factors including his crudeness, his moral distaste, and his rejection of a variety of Christian principles. I can't take them seriously. I mean, sure, Donald Trump is ethically not a good dude. But when these evangelicals lurch to National Review, which has become something of a Neocon central, to warn the people against Trump, my eyes begin to roll. They can't support Trump, but by golly Dick Cheney and George Bush swept the evangelical front. I'll tell them what: when they come out and express sorrow for the Big Government and socialist policies, including and especially the military interventionism, I might take their Brave Stand against The Donald a little more seriously.
Suddenly, wolves in sheep's vernacular are concerned about constitutional principles, "freedom" (as they define it), and so on. But when a true constitutionalist who had with him the entire spectrum of knowledge concerning libertarian legal theory and actual free-market economics offered himself as the anti-statist choice, the GOP and neocon conglomeration came together with enthusiastic disapproval. And thus the brilliant and honest Ron Paul –a man of true principle– was cast by the wayside. So much for standing up against Donald and for "what's right."
In the meantime, Trump's anti-establishment revolution, while destructive of liberty and sane thinking, is charming to the man up on the hillside reflecting on the circus. "As democracy is perfected," as the great Mencken once wrote, "the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
The neocons and the GOP establishment don't reject Trump because he somehow threatens the "moral fabric" of the United States; in fact, it seems to me that he is the current moral fabric consummated.
Rather, the neocons have had the GOP in a bind since Reagan let them in during his so-called "Revolution." Donald Trump, it is true, represents the Old Establishment "moderate" wing of the GOP, which many populists considered to be an outrage against conservative principles. And of course, Donald Trump and the Eastern Establishment moderates, stand against true conservatism in every way. But the thing is, the New Establishment neocon wing of the GOP stands against true conservatism in their own right. You think National Review is the pillar of conservatism in the modern western world? Try telling that to Pat Buchanan and Paul Gottfried and the conservatives at The American Conservative Magazine, Unz Review, and so on. The neocons and the evangelicals that have so ignorantly taken the neocon drug, are so remarkably ignorant of the meaning of true liberty that they don't even realize that the sudden GOP concern over Trump has nothing to do with his Big Government tendencies nor his lack of a moral code; but rather, it has to do with the fact that there is suddenly a prettier horse in the doggone horse stable.
The masses- dolts as they are– want to give Donald a chance. Of course it is silly that they have such a want, but it is equally as silly to support Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, or any other power hungry statist that "bravely" supports the neocon agenda. Hillary and Bernie are not the only enemies of liberty. The GOP is equally as responsible.
The delight that Donald brings to me has nothing to do with who he is, or what he claims he will "accomplish;" the delight that Donald brings is centered around the fact that he has exposed the political process as hilariously ludicrous and an embarrassment to the principles of liberty. Yes, Donald stands opposed to good morals and the freedom philosophy; but no more than the anyone else in politics. The difference, of course, is that Trump doesn't hide it. He boasts of it! But why is it worse to pursue terrible policies while declaring them from the bullhorn than to pursue terrible policies from behind closed doors while your press agents lie about you for PR purposes?
Trump represents the fact that people only listen to the words of the politician, and refuse to look at their actions. Trump is shaking things up. And things need shaking up; even if done by a terrible man.
In a world where it doesn't really matter who is President because Congress, the mass bureaucratic complex, and the armies of lobbyists threaten liberty on a daily and systemic basis, Donald is not our worst enemy. The state itself is.
In a world where it doesn't really matter who is President, because the state is still expanding and will still be expanding in two years, I might as well laugh and smirk at those who take politics too seriously. It's not a serious process. It's a joke. It's a grand display of statism in all its disgusting majesty. What we need is not "the right guy." What we need is a disillusionment and an era of dissent and a mentality of property rights and anti-statism.

French Club
French Club was started in the 1980s by Mlle. Bastin. The club meets one Monday each month after school in room 236. French Club is open to students who are taking French classes. Activities that take place during French club are social events, food tasting, French films, and a field trip to The International Festival in November. The goal of French club is to acclimate students to the French environment and to introduce them to a variety of French foods and French customs. Madame Elkins is the French Club sponsor. French students get to participate in many activities including homecoming parade. The Club celebrates Noel, Mardi Gras, and several other holidays.
Madame Elkins
Latin Club
Latin Club was started in the 1960s by Ms. Kelley, the Latin teacher at the time. Currently, there are about 50 members. The Latin Club meets monthly either at the school or somewhere in the community, and any Latin student in years I through IV is invited to come. Latin Club usually meets at least once a month to get everyone together and celebrate a certain event or festival that is seasonal or related to the ancient world. In March each year, our club also takes delegates to compete for 2 days at the Indiana Junior Classical League Convention. The purpose of the Latin Club is to promote fellowship among all members and to have fun learning about Latin and Roman culture. Our club is run by a Republican model of government: students annually elect juniors and seniors to the offices of consul (2), praetor, quaestor & aedile. In 2014, Mrs. Campbell also started a Latin Honor Society, reserved for those students who have earned an average for the year in levels I-III or a B average in IV/AP. Latin Honor Society inductees must also be Latin Club members in good standing. Honor Society students sign up twice a week to tutor other Latin students after school. Latin Honor Society students must earn 4+ points per school year, by tutoring or doing other activities, in order to remain a member in good standing. Latin Honor Society students receive a purple & gold cord to wear at graduation their senior year. More Information on upcoming events can be found

Spanish Club
Spanish Club is made up of Spanish students of all levels and native speakers. Our goal for the club is to practice speaking Spanish with one another and learn more about the hispanic culture by participating in culturally authentic games, dances, celebrations, holidays, and meals.
We meet monthly after school. Students in Spanish or native speakers of Spanish are invited to join. We decorated the homecoming banner and walked in the parade. We also had a meeting with an exchange student from Spain, Natalia, and we enjoyed chips and salsa while we interviewed her in Spanish and English about Spain. Our Christmas meeting we made and decorated pinatas. In February, we plan to snack and play loteria, an authentic Mexican bingo game. It's a good opportunity for students to enjoy Spanish language and culture outside the confines of the classroom!
Mr. Shively and Mrs. Etter
Japanese Club
The Japanese Club was started in 1999 by Ms. Gotshall and her Japanese students at the time. The club meets every other Monday after school. The club involves any Japanese students who can pay small dues and show up to the meetings. The Japanese Club gets together in order to make food and crafts, play games, and sing songs. Students also participate in a tea ceremony, making calligraphy, and making flower arrangements. The goal of the club is to provide culturally authentic experiences for students interested in learning about Japan.

text: One person was killed and six others wounded in the clashes The driver of the Jordanian ambassador was killed and six people were wounded in the worst internal fighting on Monday in recent weeks.The Hamas and Fatah leaders were brought together by Egyptian mediators after which they both condemned the driver's killing and sent condolences to the Jordanian people and to King Abdullah. They agreed to hold daily meetings to try to calm tensions and sent a message to their respective fighters that they would not protect them if they violated public order.Hamas and Fatah accused each other of starting the battle. After more than two hours of fighting, sporadic shots still echoed throughout the largely deserted streets of the seaside city.Some witnesses said members of the new Hamas-led militia returned fire after coming under attack.Hamas officials said the assailants were from the Preventive Security agency, staffed by men loyal to Fatah. Ordinary police also joined the battle, witnesses said. BlameAt one point, Hamas fighters holed up in an abandoned building fired grenades at police. Abu Zuhri said Hamas forces were defending themselvesOthers took up positions behind trees, cars and buildings, turning downtown Gaza into a battle zone. Some of the fighters carried rocket-propelled grenade launchers.Tawfiq Abu Khoussa, a spokesman for Fatah, said security would worsen if Hamas kept its new force on Gaza's streets in defiance of the Palestinian president's orders to disband it. He accused Hamas fighters of firing rocket-propelled grenades at police headquarters in Gaza during Monday's clash.But Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, said the Hamas force members were defending themselves after coming under attack. Monday's battle was the most intense in a bloody confrontation between fighters loyal to the Hamas government and the Palestinian security forces allied with Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president.The Hamas government deployed a 3,000-strong armed force last week, raising tensions.Inquiry call The man killed on Monday was identified as Khaled Radaida, 45, the driver of the Jordanian ambassador in Gaza. The gun battle was the worst fighting in recent weeksThree bullets hit the windshield as Radaida was driving near the gun battle. The ambassador, Yehiyeh Karala, was not in the car at the time. Jordan called on the Palestinian Authority to open an inquiry into the killing, an official in Amman said. Radaida's death brought to eight the number of people killed in internal fighting in Gaza this month. Abbas is expected to lead talks with all the Palestinian factions starting on Thursday in an effort to calm the tensions. SOURCE: Agencies

How to determine your link strength – a high ranked blog writes an article and includes a link to your website, that link is going to be much more valuable than a link on a low ranked blog. So, how can you receive valuable links? It's simple! Ocean City NJ SEO say's create something worth linking to!
The most valuable links are the natural ones. If somebody has written an article about something you have created and puts your link there, it's most likely many others will do the same because that means you have created something useful and qualitative.
Easier said than done. It requires skill, planning, research, creativity and hard work. This is the reason why most webmasters or SEO wannabees try to cheat the system and go with spam links.
What are Spam Links?
Spam linking is basically an unorthodox way of link building, by creating links to places like blogs, forums, link farms, directories, social media, article directories, etc. The thing is that Google's algorithms are getting better and better and they usually spot this spam links which lower your rank, so spam linking can do a lot of damage to your website.
Link spammers generally create links that are not merit-based. Therefore, the links you buy from them may work for a while but ultimately will stop working.
There are also link-building companies, which are using mostly the link spam method. If you use their services, it's like building your house in quick sand.
Link trading is also a bad idea. When it comes to link building, Google wants to see links that you've earned. They want to see links that you deserve because you have something of good quality to offer.
What is the safe way to link building?
SEO in Ocean City New Jersey say's white-hat method is the safest and the best way. I know it takes a lot of time and work, but that is the right and fair way and it is more convenient for a long term.
Some common safe ways for link building:
Try building a community which interacts with your website and with each other. Research into understanding what content your target audience is looking for. Create unique and qualitative content.
Links from original images – Bloggers usually try to find good/targeted images for their articles. So, if they use an image from you, and they play fair you will get a link to the image source.
Promoting your website to relevant groups of people by writing personalized messages.
Use Guest Blogging – contact bloggers to ask if you could guest blog. If they accept, you can get a few links from the posts and also traffic (if the blogs are popular).
Organize contests and giveaways – you can organize a contest for your audience in which they have to write articles about a product of yours or about your site.
Use social media – Delicious, Digg, and Pinterest offers a bit of link equity through social bookmarks. Also if you have a Twitter account, then you've got plenty of easy links from the Twitter profile links. Google+ shares also help.
