What happens to Breast Implants if I work out my pectoral muscles; ie, push ups? Are there different exercises I can do? Are pull ups ok?
Is It Safe to Exercise Chest Muscles After Breast Implants?

Safe to exercise pectoral muscles after Breast implants
Yes. After you are completely healed.
There is NO point in having a breast augmentation if it will change the way you live. Once the surgery is completely healed in a few months you should be able to resume all your previous activities.
A few years ago, Dr. Baker, a senior member of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, from Florida, presented a memorable paper on the negligible effect of (subpectoral) breast augmentation in PROFESSIONAL female body builders. The ability of those women to lift large weights was studied on Cybex machines and was proven not to be significantly changed by the operation.
If they can do it - so can you.
Good Luck.
Pectoralis exercise after breast enlargement or augmentation
To some degree, we immediately want you to perform pectoralis stretching exercises to minimize postoperative pain due to spasm (similar to a contracting hamstring pull).
However, I generally advise my patients to avoid pectoralis strengthening exercises: such as wide stance push ups or bench press.

Pec exercise after augmentation
I ask my patients to refrain from pec exercise for 8 weeks after surgery to let the pocket around the implants mature.
Exercise after breast augmentation
After a subpectoral breast augmentation, a patient may resume exercise (push-ups, weight training) once the pectoral muscles have fully healed. This may take two to three months before the muscles have healed enough to perform strenuous activity. Patients may experience some discomfort and pain when they resume these types of activities, so I advise patients to proceed slowly at first with lighter weights. You may also notice that the implants will move as your pectoral muscles contract- this is normal.
Consult with your plastic surgeon prior to resuming a strenous exercise routine after breast augmentation.
Best wishes,
Dr. Bruno
After a sub muscular breast enlargement I allow the patient to resume full activity
It would be awful to change the way you live in order to have breast implants. After the breast are fully healed I allow the patient to resume full activity including weight training. The breast will certainly look different when working out but when not flexing the muscles they will look quite normal. The only exception to this is if you are a body builder who plans to pose. In that case you will have distortion of your appearance when you flex. Quite honestly even if you are or are not a body builder I prefer to place silicone gel implants under the muscle through a peri areolar incision. This to me looks and feels more normal. It will also take away from any work out distortion.
Usually safe to exercise pectoral muscles after breast implants
Most active women exercise after they have breast implant surgery. Sometimes things change particularly in larger implant cases though. Each woman finds her own place here relative to what she can and cannot do. Unless you went really large on the implant size, you are usually able to do everything you were able to do before.
The bottom line: ask your surgeon.

Exercising With Breast Implants

Chest Exercise and implants
Thank you for your post. In general, I ask my patients to keep away from aerobic activities in the first 2 weeks following surgery. Increased activity can increase swelling and hyper-swelling can cause stretch marks. Following this, 'non-bouncing' aerobic activity is fine, such as speed walking or cycling, but would like to keep the implants from moving too much until the capsule that forms around the implant has a chance to heal and become stronger. At 6 weeks, I clear any type of activity. When your implants are under the muscle, the implants can be gradually displaced to the armpit area over a prolonged period of time with a lot of chest exercises. Textured implants resist this displacement better than smooth, however, it is still possible. If you are worried about this, you may consider to place the implants above the muscle.
Best Wishes,
Pablo Prichard, MD

Why Is This Company Jim Cramer's Favorite Tech Stock?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Recently, we looked at the largest technology stock positions owned by Jim Cramer's charitable trust (read our quick take on Jim Cramer's tech stock picks). The largest position by market value was the fairly obscure Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ: LRCX), which is a semiconductor equipment company- it designs and manufactures precision machines which are then used to produce semiconductors. Lam is down 3% year to date.
Lam Research Corporation released its results for its first fiscal quarter (which ended in September) earlier this month. Revenue was up 33% from the third quarter of 2011, and up 22% on a q/q basis. However, the gains in gross margin- while still a double-digit growth rate- were considerably lower. Lam also increased its R&D spending by 59% from a year ago and 31% over the second quarter; while this may help the company in the long run it caused Lam to report lower earnings numbers for Q3 than for Q2. It also combined with a near doubling in SGA expenses and a large increase in share count to bring earnings per share down from 58 cents in the third quarter of 2011 to 2 cents in the same period this year. There's nothing wrong with a growth company spending more on R&D, but we don't like that the earnings + R&D figure has come down in the last year despite considerable revenue growth. Wall Street analysts expect $2.23 in earnings per share for the current fiscal year ending in June 2013, which implies a current-year P/E multiple of 16 but is obviously highly dependent on better results in the next three quarters of the year given how close to zero profits the company was last quarter.
Ricky Sandler's Eminence Capital initiated a position of 2.8 million shares in Lam Research Corporation during the second quarter of the year; this was Eminence's largest new holding, and one of the ten largest positions in its 13F portfolio (find more of Eminence Capital's favorite stocks). Sandler had previously been a partner of Wayne Cooperman's at Fusion Partners. Cooperman's father, billionaire Leon Cooperman, also liked Lam Research during the second quarter: his Omega Advisors increased its own stake to 1.2 million shares (see more stock picks from Omega Advisors).
Lam Research's closest peer is Applied Materials (NASDAQ: AMAT), which provides semiconductor manufacturing equipment and also has segments focused on products such as services and display components. At a $13 billion market cap, the company is a little over twice the size of Lam Research. It trades at only 13 times trailing earnings, but its most recent quarter was a bad one: revenue was down 16% from a year ago, with net income dropping 54%. Its forward P/E is 14 as analysts expect slightly worse numbers this year.
Other semiconductor equipment and materials companies include KLA-Tencor (NASDAQ: KLAC), Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (NYSE: ASX), and United Microelectronics (NYSE: UMC). On a forward basis, these peers trade at substantial discounts to the companies we've discussed: their forward P/Es range from 9 to 11. Advanced Semiconductor Engineering and United Microelectronics both had lower revenue and earnings in their most recent quarter compared to the same period a year earlier, but the sell-side expects very strong growth over the next several years as their five-year PEG ratios are both 0.7. KLA-Tencor's business, meanwhile, trades at 10 times trailing earnings in addition to its forward P/E of 9; its earnings were about flat in the company's fourth fiscal quarter (ending in June) versus a year earlier, and it doesn't need to do much better to justify the current stock price.
We actually don't feel comfortable depending on either Lam Research or Applied Materials to hit its earnings target over the next few quarters: Lam has to grow its bottom line by a lot, while Applied Materials has to halt its decline. We aren't particularly interested in the other peers as well, though they do seem to have more room for error as their pricing- especially at KLA-Tencor- is particularly low.

I just don't get ERP in WoW. The game's not built for that. Now, you could argue the game isn't really built for a lot of RP scenarios, but ERP especially so. You can't even two characters to hug or kiss each other, let alone other... uh... interactions. Take it to a MUD, MUSH, some kind of user-run virtual world, message board, whatever.
As someone whom RPs frequently both in and out of WoW, it CAN be a strong part of a character's development if done right-like the culmination of a relationship that's been in the works for a long time, not just "lol let'sdoit". A lot of people think the contrary because of "touchy" a subject it can be (or jus tthe urge to go "Giggity"), but-again-as someone who's RPed for a long time...there can be far deeper meanings. Unfortunately, many self-proclaimed "ERPers" don't have even an iota of the RP skill, common sense, or even decency to type properly that comes with that kind of a roleplay...
TL;DR: I've ERPed a couple of times, but it FAR from makes up the majority of my RP on WoW, and there's more to it than just "cybering".

Private Steve Jobs Memorial Set for Oct. 16
5:41 PM PDT 10/14/2011 by Sofia M. Fernandez
Mark Kauffman/Time & Life Images/Getty Images
California Governor Jerry Brown declares Sunday "Steve Jobs Day."
Silicon Valley's most influential movers and shakers have been invited to an Oct. 16 memorial for Steve Jobs being held at Stanford University.
our editor recommends

The Apple co-founder died Oct. 5 of respiratory arrest, and had been battling cancer and a metastatic pancreas neuroendocrine tumor for the last five years of his life.
Sunday's private service is expected to be attended by the California tech industry's "luminaries and others close to Mr. Jobs," reports the Wall Street Journal. Guests were asked to RSVP to Emerson Collective, the organization founded by Jobs' wife Laurene that works with entrepreneurs to advance domestic and international social reform efforts.
Though the guest list has not been unveiled, a likely attendee is California Governor Jerry Brown, who on Friday declared Oct. 16 as "Steve Jobs Day."
The Governor said at the time of Jobs' death that Jobs "was a great California innovator who demonstrated what a totally independent and creative mind can accomplish. Few people have made such a powerful and elegant imprint on our lives."
Apple is also holding a celebration of Jobs' life on Oct. 19 at the company's Cupertino, Calif. headquarters.
A week after the tech innovators death, shares in his company rose 3 percent to a historic closing high of $422, giving the iconic technology firm a market capitalization of $391.2 billion. Still the world's most valuable publicly traded company, Apple is worth nearly four times more than Disney and Time Warner combined.
The stock increase is due to the sale of Apple's new iPhone 4S, "the final gadget unveiled during Steve Jobs' life."

Weeknotes 2013.2
Tuesday evening:
- Briefly saw very crowded openings at school.
- Last time I saw Katie before she moves to Boston 😭.
- Biked over the bridge really fast to drinks with a bunch of old coworkers. It's been a long time since I quit my job. They're pretty much all off being CEOs of stealth startups now.
- Woke up late and did nothing all day. Like read Alicia Keys syngergy news.
- Received an email from my pal Lawrence in administration saying, "In order to meet the information dissemination and posting needs of the Cooper Union community, the Posting Policy has been updated." Followed by an 800-word long set of rules in six sections basically declaring that unapproved posters are banned at Cooper from now on. So I solicited new entries to cooperunion.info/posters and threw together a little poster of my own that I have to plaster up soon. Information dissemination and posting needs? This is what administrative busywork and micromanagement looks like.
- By the time I biked to school just in time for sculpture I heard it had been cancelled.
- Walked around the LES with Aaron and ended up at Mission Chinese which was spicy.
- Biked to the Bruce space for drawing, which is a nice place. There was sort of nothing to do and no work to look at yet so we just talked slowly for a long time about whatever.
- Went to school. Figured out how to pull Markdown into InDesign. Messed around with the Bylaws trying to figure out a continuous horizontal diff of the five versions, but it felt slow, finicky, and kind of like something I should teach a computer to do. But that didn't seem immediately doable, so I just plotted all the bylaws next to each other on a giant sheet of paper (42 in tall) and started diffing by hand in my studio with markers, using Kaleidoscope as a reference.
- I was Instagramming while I worked and Inka joked that it looked like a conspiracy theory, which reminded me of this awesome bit from Chomsky.
- "It's just normal institutional analysis, the kind of analysis you do automatically when you're trying to understand how the world works." Yup.
- Biked home at 2am when I was done. It's easier to stay late when I don't have to think about the subway.
- That's a thumbnail of the final diff, here is a readable-sized version. It looks all fucked up because I had to cut it into scanner sized pieces for re-digitization.
- Showed the diff (before cutting it up) in Dennis's class. We talked about the actual content of the document. People had questions. I pointed some things out. Joe seemed disappointed that I hadn't found a smoking gun and thought that a synthesis would be a more useful form. Probably true. Mark Lombardi was brought up. Which means I am now going to go back in time and kill Mark Lombardi so that he stops showing up in all my crits. I don't think I was trying to make art but if I wasn't showing a governance document inside the same institution it might be more aesthetic. Like Lombardi.
- Porter showed some white frame things. Joe showed his show.
- Then we had our Student Judiciary trial for the lock-in. Here we are huddling and looking over documents before going in:
- It was actually really fun to sit with fellow-students and go over the facts and be reminded how in-the-right we were about the actions we took and the degree to which we thought things through.
- Bio was boring. Ate peanuts in the back of the room and spaced out. Got a text from Jakob that our punishment is…a seven day ban from the round elevator. LOL, YES. Students effectively dropped the administration's case against us while still humoring them. Left class as soon as it was over to retrieve my formal letter:
- That evening the Art Faculty circulated by email the most beautiful fucking letter which they had presented to the President a week earlier, rejecting any tuition based plans at Cooper. I was sitting alone at my computer, but literally started clapping and making weird little involuntary noises. This is a huge milestone on the Free Cooper front. Anybody can scream and you can block them out, but when 1/3 of your faculty mutinies, you listen. Spread it around on social media.
- Went to a party at our Neighbors with Tyler. Walked around our reverse apartment for a while just looking at how differently they'd decorated it.
- Left for karaoke and pizza.
- Pushed the faculty letter out to press. It's fun having a kind of workflow post-lock-in for getting anything we want to say out there. Feels easier than I would've thought before.
- Went to a gross party.
- Biked up to Gramercy for brunch with old friends. Funny hearing about their jobs. JOBS. Made me more ready than ever to go OFF THE GRID.
- In Art History listened to an engineer present about Dali and Surrealism. Which made me wonder what I would sound like talking to engineers about thermodynamics. That should happen more.
- Art in America picked up on the faculty letter. Posted it up around school with Jamshed faces which were quickly removed per the new posting policy.
- Kristi posted notes from the letter presentation meeting with faculty and Bharucha. They were widely shared. Even Village Voice picked up on them. I had a hunch when I got involved with Student Council and convinced everyone to start throwing notes from everything on Github that people would go nuts for real transparency, like meeting notes, however boring that sounds. This confirmed that. Haven't seen so many people engaged in a while.
- Met Galen for coffee. We first met when he ran up to me at school and said somebody had told him to talk to me and I should read a book by Marvin Minsky. Which I did half-read and still think about. So we've stayed in touch. We rambled about a lot about things we're working on. He said something I don't hear around here a lot, which is that this place overrates individual geniuses and it might not be so bad to step out of that game for a while.
- Almost walked into traffic for like the fourth time that day.
- Had a nice dinner with Alex and Tyler for no reason, so was perfectly late to Student Council. My secret goal with the notes is to go to less meetings. But the meeting was kinda rad, we basically changed the annoyingly formal mission statement to: "We're a group of art students. We're whatever the student body needs their presence within the existing bureaucratic structure at Cooper to be. We go to meetings, take notes which we share, and vote on behalf of students. The school gives us money to throw parties."
- Ranted a little in my projects wiki.
- Woke up early. Tiptoed into Alex's room and took his blazer. Dressed a little fancy.
- Stopped to buy a legal pad on the way to school.
- Met Kristi on the 7th floor and we took the stairs up to the Peter Cooper Suite for the follow-up meeting between art faculty, Bharucha, and three trustees(!). The fact that they decided to show up means things are escalating sufficiently. The meeting was exciting but exhausting. Maybe because I was taking notes as fast as I could the entire time.
- Village Voice picked up the faculty letter.
- I showed Walid my wiki and the diff before the meeting on his iPad because we were sitting next to each other. I think he called revisions the saddest thing ever. Like how you always feel you need the palimpsest and have to reduce thresholds for memory to a keystroke. Giving equivalence to everything's entire history. I was like, hmm yeah I guess…so what?
- Then had his class. I was sleepy and bored. We all talked for a long time in a way that didn't really make sense to me about my wiki. Which, to be fair, isn't really anything to talk about yet. And I had no idea what to say, only that in retrospect I am glad I didn't write a "grant proposal". We argued about artists' writing. Which for me is also complicated. When you do things that involve writing, what's your work and what's your meta-writing? I have a feeling there's no distinction for me. Next week he wants bios from everyone. I thought of my graph as my bio. Walid says writing proposals and bios isn't just being complicit with the system of curators and biennials and whatnot. Probably the biggest mindfuck since MWB.
- Blacked out on the floor of my studio for an hour. I can't believe, at this point in time, that I was ever really into the idea of studio furniture or the idea of taller ceilings bigger thoughts or this dream of building a house completely along desire lines. Sleeping on the floor for a week during the lock-in crushed any vestigial remnants of my interest in how bourgeois chairs help you think.
- Dan had an extra ticket to a fancy alumni event so I met him there to haunt administrators with my presence and drink martinis.
- Jam: "you know, I make a mean martini. I'll make you one." Me: "I'll come up to your office and we'll have some martinis" Jam: "no we can't do that, but you can certainly come over to the house and I'll make you one, as long as you promise to not occupy my home!" Me: "😇"
- Lawrence: "what are you going to use this photo for?"
- Even my shit smells like martinis.
- Artforum picks up the faculty letter.
- Tyler, Audrey, Aaron showed in Niki's. She was kind of on fire. Said some really good stuff. Bowed to non-sequiturs.
- Talked about student council's notes/transparency project with Kristi, who was apprehensive about posting her notes after having been approached all week by students, faculty, and reporters. I'm happy she's thinking deeply about implications and best practices and misrepresentation and responsibility because my priority has been moving fast. It's a good combination and I feel like we're going to come out of this with something like Flickr's Community Guidelines, but for Institutional Transparency(!).
- Spent a bunch of hours cross-checking Kristi's notes against my own, which I agreed to do before publicizing them.
- Had Seth in the morning. Dilan and Kristi showed. Couldn't stop staring out the skylights at the monolith across the street where a lone construction worker was jumping up and down on a sheet of glass facade to slide it into place.
- Released more notes. I've heard nothing but concerns about open meeting notes, but in practice have seen only widespread excitement and involvement.
- Worked on making the student council site less barebones, now that we've been using it a bunch.
- Watched William Wegman videos with Aaron and Tyler for a bit. They're great.
- Overslept Dennis. I was TOLD there would be a blizzard, so I stayed home, even though it didn't start snowing until later, because I was in no mood for my high school-ish bio class. Kinda burned out. Read a chapter from How To Be Idle which is kind of my bible/most important reference book. It's hard to tell if it's ruining or making my life. Attempted to blog but couldn't really get much of anything done. Hung out at home. Watched SVU, Spongebob, and Godard with Alex and Jo. They were all exactly the same. Went to bed at a reasonable hour.
- Jackson Heights for Indian with Aaron and Tyler.
- Aaron and Tyler making fun of me for blogging my life until I lost my will to live, let along blog about it. Pretty good impersonations of me having revelatory moments tho.
- Saw the World's Fair Globe and gigantic Robert-Moses-commissioned model of NYC. Reminded me of Seeing Like a State.


text: I've been playing feral tank for a while now, main tanking 10 man dragon soul. I'm pretty comfortable with my rotation and how to play my spec. I've been having a lot of trouble with threat issues, by having way to much threat. The off tank is a pally, I pretty much have to take myself out of battle when he taunts (not even white swing) as I will pull straight back off of him immediately after taunt effect wears off. Also I have been told that I am very easy to heal by healers but when I take damage in certain circumstances I die reasonably quickly (when I dont dodge), I believe there is something wrong with my stats on this. Have I stacked too much dodge, and should I stack in another stat, or am I doing it right. As you can tell by my gear we are struggling in 10 mans as I have absolutely no gear, only clearing morchock. Are there any good up to date sites for feral tanks, as all of the ones that I look up seem to be outdated. I would appreciate anyone that can look at my gear/spec/gems/enchants and see where I could be doing better.

She said, "I'm going to school, and I can't be late."
This is a very busy week for us, as over six thousand resident students descend upon us for the beginning of Fall Quarter. Also, David is visiting this coming weekend for the first time in two months. Thus I may be a little light on reviews this week, but I'll be back in full force next week.
In honor of the beginning of another year of school -- a phase of life that apparently will be of permanent relevance to my life whether I'm a student or not -- I'm offering up a special back to school mix and your choice of sampling any three scents I've reviewed (list in the column on the right), 1 ml each.
Want in? Post in the comments section and tell me either a song you associate with fall/back to school or a scent you associate with fall (or both!). Entries end at 11:59pm PST, Sunday September 27. Random winner will be selected from those who post and announced on Monday, September 28.
Any and all eligible, even if you're my one previous winner. (I'm looking at you, Divina. <g>)
Woe is me, all summer long I was happy and free.
Save my soul, the board of education took away my parole.
I gotta go back, back, back to school again.
You won't find me 'til the clock strikes three;
I'm gonna be there 'til then...
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go...
back to school...

abortion is wrong. I'm in highschool and 4 of my friends are pregnant and keeping the baby. I know 3 other girls, not my friends, that got abortions. My point of view towards them changed. Its murder. Straight up. Just because the baby can't talk, doesn't mean it doesn't have rights. EVERYONE has the right to life.ReplyDelete

I think videos of what they are doing to these unborn babies should be a requirement to watch BEFORE an abortion can be given. This concept that a fetus is not a human being disgusts me. I would never even refer to one of my babies as a fetus. They were BABIES from day one. These people disgust me. They deserve to die on the table along with the baby they are killing.ReplyDelete
This disgusts me. If you conceive and don't want the baby, at least let it live. You could always put it up for adoption and some family who desperately wants a child can take care of the baby. At least it can live a life that every human being deserves to have.ReplyDelete

If I ever have a baby of my own, I would love it with all the love I have. If I ever go bankrupt because of my baby, I would just put it up for adoption so that it could still be able to have a life of its own. My sister had a baby boy 3 years ago. She never aborted the baby, yet she nearly died giving birth to him. But now, my nephew is growing strong and healthy.ReplyDelete
I'm against this Devilish act. Women who think it right to do such hart to the one they share their own flesh and blood with should burn for eternity. I'm pregnant with my first child, and have no job yet and am doing all I possibly can to do right by my child finantualy! I know that I can love my own, more so than the love I have for many others! I was told that I should of gotten it done considering the cercumstances I am in at the time. My mind started playing tricks with me but my Heart could not do such a horrid attempts hint to an I inocent unborn child. Espeasialy as I shares my blood and flesh to help my beautiful child go become a blessing from God!ReplyDelete

Why is everyone on here anonymous? I have always been against abortion (killing unborn babies)...it is murder and it is wrong! Especially in today's world when there are so many ways to prevent getting pregnant. I feel that anyone who is contemplating abortion should watch these types of videos and see their baby on ultrasound. One thing we all have in common here is that our mother's were pro-life. God bless them! One of the things that no one seems to talk about is the fact that our babies are a part of us and when we abort them it is almost like destroying a piece of ourselves....this ultimately comes back to haunt sometimes in the form of depression and other emotional and mental problems. Abortion is something we cannnot undo. Save your babies life and at least allow someone else to love it!ReplyDelete
I think there are many people who would adopt this child!!! Sometimes bad things happen to good people. The child is not the bad part. And...God loves us all!ReplyDelete
I notice this post was 6 months ago. I hope that all has worked out for you!!!!If you ever come by this site again I hope you will update us on what is happening. I know this must be so scary for you...Don't hesitate to get help from the various organizations...medicaid, etc. That is what it is for...to help people get on their feet and a cushion through the rough and challenging times. Do take care of yourself and your baby. God Bless! So proud of you...you sound like a very strong woman.ReplyDelete

Don't hate all people who undergo abortion procedures. Hate the fact that there is so much misinformation about its effects, both immediate and long term. Teenagers don't think very far ahead generally, and they've been led to believe that it is acceptable. These videos should be required education in ANY state-sponsored sexual education. So that they might see pregnancy as more than an inconvenience, or worse, a status symbol.ReplyDelete
in EVERY SINGLE OTHER Zoological Classification a pregnant female of that species is Considered to be carrying one of its kind.. a pregnant dog has puppies growing, dolphins dolphins, zebra zebra, cats kittens, chimps shimps... ONLY in Humans have Some of us Denigrates the Existence of our unborn with "medical terms" calling them a "fetus" or "clump of cells" or ANY of the myriad of other Alternative Names that they have come up with to lessen the impact of the Murder of a Human Life that they perpetuate.ReplyDelete
i cant beleive this ! why arent women show what happens to there baby before they make that chose to abord? As a mother of 3 and cant have anymore im am very hurt . there are so many women that cant have kids and other women that can and throw their babys away like this. If you didnt want to get pregnanet then you should of use protection because now the baby that doesnt have a voice now has to pay for what you call a mistake!ReplyDelete
I had my first child at age 17...she was a beautiful baby girl...she is all grown and married now with beautiful children of her own and I thank God every day for giving me such a gift. I was young , went back to school and finished while raising her.I have absolutely no regrets in my decision of having her and keeping her. Like I have said many a time...women do have choices...the choice to take precautions or to just say no to sexual relationships.ReplyDelete
God how long? Lord have mercy on the little ones.ReplyDelete
I have said that every member of the government should have to view these pictures,especially Sebillius and palosi.ReplyDelete
Very true. It's spin-doctoring used to horrific effect. They de-humanize it to make it more palatable, until they can convince themselves that abortion is an NHI (no human involved) procedure. It incenses me beyond reason. The same liberals who clamor for the right to kill unborn babies are the first ones to hurl the epithet of "baby killer" at our soldiers.ReplyDelete
I remember being a freshman in high school At John F Kennedy Memorial High and we all, the whole school being required to go to auditorium and watch film of an actual abortion. was it pleasant?....no, there was crying, vomiting and shock reactions from students and teachers alike......IT WAS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN A SCHOOL SYSTEM DO! Not one person walked out of that auditorium with any doubt in their mind that abortion is murder.ReplyDelete
There is an evil that darkens the soul and tears the heart out of the strongest of men...to not defend the weakest among us...all for the cause of convenience and claiming it is just a clump of cells....I can see why there are those in Heaven around the Throne of God asking "HOW LONG":ReplyDelete
Rev 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
I don't think it is to hard to except (in human terms and also believing Jesus is our greatest gift ) that one of the greatest gifts God gave to man was the ability to create a being in our own image a Man and Woman becoming one and out of that oneness reflect there image in the new life they create...to slap God in the face and do this...I have no words to express my sadness at how far we have sunk...

This sounds like a winner...can't wait to make this....just wish all the recipes would be for smaller amounts...could cut recipe in half, but how in the heck do you divide an egg yolk in half ????? wonder if you could still just use the entire yolk and it would be ok ...does anyne know ? Or perhaps ALL RECIPES could email me and let me know :)
toplessmuffin Posted: 08/13/13
You can use a whole yolk and still cut the recipe in half, it will just make the filling a little creamier/eggy.

FARGO (KFGO-AM) More homes, bought out by Fargo to make way for permanent flood protection went on the auction block Tuesday. 37 homes were up for sale, the largest batch so far. Many are in up-scale neighborhoods on Fargo's south side. The homes are to be moved or salvaged and demolished.
City Project Engineer Nathan Boerboom says the process will help flood fighting efforts and construction of levee systems that will allow the city to remove some homes from the floodplain when new FEMA maps are adopted this summer.
Last year, Fargo spent between $18 and $19 million to acquire 45 properties in flood prone area's.

A cool baby chair that looks good and has some nifty features - it rocks!
Baby Björn Babysitter Balance - safety and comfort
The first bonus is that your baby can lie back in safety and comfort in this chair right from birth (most don't go flat enough); the second is that he can keep using the chair right up to the age of two (most become unstable long before this). This is thanks to the chair's great adjustability: there are three recline positions (sleep, rest and play), and the safety harness and toy can be easily removed when your child is able to get in and out of the chair on his own.
A gentle, calming experience
Babies love to rock and be rocked, and sitting in the Babysitter Balance it's your baby's own movements that create the rocking motion – so no need for batteries or for you to keep bending over to bounce him. The resulting calm, natural rocking motion will keep your child happy and content as well as help him to develop important motor skills and balance. Add the custom-made wooden toy to keep him entertained, but if even that can't keep him awake and he rocks himself to sleep while in a more upright position, adjusting the seat is easy and quiet, with a safety latch to keep him secure. Anti-glide strips on the base mean he can't go skating across a slippery floor, and that your floor will not be marked by the seat.
The seat is ergonomically designed so that it provides the correct support for your baby's back and head – in fact, it will mould itself to your baby's body. And if you need to take it to granny's, it folds flat and takes up little storage space.
A great looking piece of nursery furniture
The Babysitter Balance is available in six colours – and because both seat fabric and safety harness are reversible, each offers four different combinations. The canvas fabric is guaranteed harmless to small children's sensitive skin, and because no nasty dyes are used, he won't come to any harm if he chews it either (babies do love to put things in their mouths…).
As you'd expect the fabric is easily removed for machine washing so you can keep the chair looking pristine whatever your baby does to it. For cooler weather there's a Cozy Cover that fits over the top of the seat and wraps around your baby. It's made from breathable soft terry fabric and will keep him warm and comfy.

Kol Zimra 8 will begin in April 2015 in Mendham, NJ
Please contact Rabbi Shefa Gold for more info or to sign up.
Kol Zimra: Chant Leader's Professional Development
~ Kol Zimra 1, Chant Leaders Training ~
~Third Retreat, July 2005 ~
From the liner notes of "The Majesty of Nurture" CD:
(Clip taken from #12 "Kol Zimra" on "The Majesty of Nurture" CD)
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR: Rabbis, Cantors and Lay Leaders, Meditation Teachers, Rosh Chodesh Leaders, Healers, Prayer Leaders, Support Group Facilitators and Artists of Ritual.
Chanting, the melodic and rhythmic repetition of a sacred phrase, is a way of transforming the words of liturgy and Torah into doorways to expanded states of consciousness. The chant can attune us to ever-deepening levels of meaning, unlock the treasures of the heart, and give us an opportunity to generously serve each other. This Chant Training will be an opportunity to explore this powerful ecstatic practice with both rigorous attention to detail and expansive enjoyment of its transformative effects. Participants will be asked to organize a chanting group in their own communities in order to develop and refine the skills of chant and group energy. We will learn about the dynamics and potential of a spiritual group, using our own group as a living laboratory.
~ Kol Zimra 1, Chant Leaders Training~
~ First Retreat, August 2004 ~
[Photo courtesy of Kathy Gohr]
At Kol Zimra, we build a Mishkan for spiritual work. The sacred phrase becomes the tool of that building project. By using that tool, we are gradually initiated into an intimate relationship with text. The sacred text becomes our modality for… healing, community-building, deep inner exploration, the doorway into meditative states, cultivating midot, connection with the ancestors, with God and with our deepest truth.
The sacred phrase becomes the doorway into greater awareness, deeper love and the kind of connection with community and God, that can sustain us in our practice and in our leadership. We study the text and we study the many dimensions of intention that fuel and animate the text.
We engage in ritual and then we reflect on what exactly did that ritual accomplish; what doors were opened; what were the components that effected transformation.
Using the laboratory of our own community, we explore the "shadow", and our own resistances to intimacy with each other, God and spiritual practice. We learn how to dedicate our practice in service, and bring awareness to what keeps us from that service. We support each other in growing our leadership, crafting practices that will sustain us in leadership.
We explore the power of breath, melody, harmony, rhythm, and tone to bring Life to the sacred phrase so that it can become a transformative tool. This is how liturgy comes off the page and into our hearts. This is how Torah becomes a Living force.
We learn the art of stereoscopic consciousness (Keeping a dual awareness on the group energy AND our own deepest presence.) We learn to ground energy and open to guidance. We study the functions of liturgy. We learn to inquire into the nature and purpose of ecstatic states, so that our awareness might become a bridge to access those states when needed. We explore the geography of The Heart.
Resource Materials
Trainees will receive a curriculum guide specially developed for this course and not available to the public. Faculty will provide ongoing support and mentorship.

Best New Agency
Antedote has been recognized as one of the Best New Agencies of 2013 by the MRS for our work in innovation and breakthrough insight. Antedote is the only North American agency to have been selected for this award.
What makes us different
We balance tradition and technology. We are as comfortable in the physical places that your consumers live as we are in the virtual space they call home… and we understand how to apply principles and methods to suit each space to get the most out of them.
We believe that the right answer is rarely reached through just asking questions. You'll see that our interactions with consumers and with you involve all kinds of exercises and tasks based on psychological principles designed to uncover the hidden. We are always thinking, analyzing and digging and finding new ways to find buried answers.
Because of the way we work, our global network and our technology platform, your global and local markets are immediately open to us and we can integrate knowledge across them. We can involve consumers, co-workers and experts in projects spanning a few or many countries.
We work closely with R&D and have the skills, knowledge and experience to fully utilize this resource when it comes to driving innovation. There's nothing we love more than diving head-first into your technologies to find great ideas for products, packaging, communication and design.
We believe that innovation is much more than just breakthrough ideas, sometimes what seems to be a small idea can have a big impact. We judge the value of the idea not its size.
We put method, technique and analysis first. The structure and rigor that creates groundbreaking research is at the center of everything we do. We don't believe in "processes", we believe in dynamic spaces: spaces that we fill with interactions with consumers, with teams, with each other which are designed to dig deep.
We know research. We don't have pre-ordained "methods" to give to you, rather we create bespoke research experiences for you that take into account all of your specific needs and add a psychological twist for a bit of added flavor.
Great ideas are rarely born from conscious directed thought; they come from different ways of thinking and interacting as well as time. Your subconscious mind is a powerful tool, and if you know how to release its potential it will take you to places that you could never have got to by "thinking". You will notice we set up our projects and use the platform to give you the time and space to do lots of different kinds of thinking and creation.
We create space for fast and slow creativity rather than force people through steps in a process. This will result in every person in a team reaching their full "ideas potential" and the co-creation thought-space is expanded exponentially.

VALPARAISO | An 18-year-old woman, who pleaded guilty in 2011 to handcuffing and sexually assaulting a teenage Valparaiso boy, is missing and faces two felony counts of escape.
April Kuchta, of 561 Glenwood Hills in Valparaiso, has not been seen since Feb. 6 after being asked to take a drug screen as part of her community transition program, according to charging information.
An official with the county adult probation department said Kuchta was called in after her descriptions of her activity Feb. 5 failed to match that recorded by her GPS monitor.
Kuchta said she ran errands for her grandmother after the cancellation of a doctor's appointment that had been approved a day earlier. Her grandmother told officials she was out of town and had no idea Kuchta left the house.
The grandmother brought Kuchta to the PACT office for a visit Feb. 6, during which time Kuchta was asked to submit to a drug screen. She reportedly left the building, cut off the GPS monitor and threw it in a garbage can before fleeing.
Kuchta faces D and C felony counts of escape. The C felony carries a potential sentence of two to eight years behind bars, and the D felony is six months to three years.
Kuchta was sentenced in December 2011 to four years behind bars, but had already served a year by that point and needed only to complete half the sentence or less.
She had pleaded guilty to Class C felony criminal confinement and Class D felony intimidation.
Kuchta was 16 at the time of the offense in April 2011 and the victim was 17 and mentally disabled, according to police.

The Jessica Simpson baby countdown is finally over -- because she just gave birth to a bouncing baby girl ... who weighed 9 pounds 13 ounces and measured in at 21.75 inches!!!
The kid's name is Maxwell Drew Johnson -- which is pretty normal by celebrity baby naming standards.
Jessica and her fiance Eric Johnson decided to use the name Drew because it's Jessica's mother's maiden name.
Jess just released a statement on her website ... saying, "Eric and I are elated to announce the birth of our baby girl Maxwell Drew Johnson."
"We are so grateful for all of the love, support and prayers we have received. This has been the greatest experience of our lives."
When her water broke one nurse was swept away, and two Doctor's are unaccounted for..I hope the kids head was the size of a bowling ball...now time to work on the 40 (60...) pounds she said she gained during pregnancy...
I am guessing she had a C-section. No woman can pop out a baby that big, that fast. What was she in there all of one hour before she popped?
The "photo" for this story is some of the worst photoshopping I've ever seen. Yikes. Apparently Jessica doesn't warrant any effort.
She should have at least given the girl a feminine middle name.
My tv just said Maxwell is her mums maiden name, and Drew is Eric Johnson's middle name. Now I'm confused.
and so ends the longest pregnancy in the history of ever.
I'll bet her baby will be very pretty.
I'm sure Grandpa Joe is off selling the first pictures of his Granddaughter. Jack Benny used to drive a Maxwell, but Jessica probably does/t know the company is out of business and there is no endorsement deals available.
Who let's celebrity's name their babies? That poor girl not only has TWO boy names but will also be called "Maxi pad" her entire life.
Yeah, I bet this was the greatest thing of her life..UNTIL she get's that Big Fat paycheck from people Mag for the baby pictures and exclusives. Then her big diet deal. She's marketed very well and she at least deserves it..Unlike those stupid Kardashian Klan who are demon's and are going to take this planet to hell in their hand bag if people don't stop worshiping them..like you TMZ. You at least posted one semi-negative story about Khloe today. If she inks' a deal without Lamar her marriage is so OVER!
what a nasty name poor baby
Maxwell Drew, not Maxwell Smart...

There is nothing wrong with sex!
Some are asking for links so I'll link to Shermer's cease and desist letter.
The in-groupers at FtB have been attempting to redefine flirting as sexual harassment and sexual intercourse as rape. The problem with this tactic is that it obfuscates actual acts of sexual predation while criminalizing very healthy sex-positive human interaction.
Adults choosing to be sexual with each other is beautiful. and we in the atheist/skeptic community are by and large, not weighed down by sexual hangups. We tend to be not only sex positive but also highly honest and moral people. This insidious attempt to malign the fine people who frequent skeptic/atheist conventions as white, male dominated communities who both prey on women and work tirelessly to protect this so-called culture of rape we've been accused of building, must stop!
I recognize this process very well. You see, my sister and I were both molested by the same uncle. I recognized relatively early that my uncle had done a very bad thing and that I had not and I vowed to never allow what happened to me to inform my sexual identity. My sister on the other hand, became a permanent, lifelong victim from that experience. This path has led her to become the kind of person who demonizes all men. One by one the men in her life, after falling away, were accused of all manner of crimes against women. She has used these claims to try to rend her children from the arms of their respective fathers. She accused her most recent husband of being a child molester and sent letters to his friends, family, and workplace with these claims in an attempt to destroy his life and worse, she took to labeling anyone who did not agree with her as victimizers. Eventually, I was caught in her crosshairs. These are the tactics of victims of sexual abuse who have not dealt with their trauma in healthy ways.
When I read the insidious blog post by PZ Myers charging Michael Shermer with rape and sexual predation I was sickened because I have seen this kind of behavior first-hand.
No one in the atheist/skeptic community should take seriously on any level, any claim made by someone who claims to be standing up for the rights of victims while creating victims through unsubstantiated claims leveled by anonymous people.
The A+ folks have demanded that convention organizers add to their harassment policies, that no speaker be allowed to engage in sexual contact with any convention attendees. The attempt to instate such an insidiously over reaching rule speaks volumes to the mind set of these people.
As this drama unfolded I found myself becoming more and more afraid to speak my mind and share my thoughts. And as I pondered whether or not I should say anything about this new development I realized something quite horrific. The only people who have frightened me into silence prior to this moment have been extremist Muslims. Think about that. The tactics of the FtB in-groupers have had on many in my community the exact same effect as the tactics of Muslim extremists. Ask yourself, "have I been frightened into silence?". If the answer is yes please, speak up.
Every atheist/skeptic who has the opportunity to speak to PZ Myers personally has a duty to ask him, "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"
There is nothing wrong with sex.

sitting here in the office at 10:28pm on a monday night working on a pitch… felt this video was an appropriate post.
i won't go on about slutoween this year. i think we all get it.
so how about the cutest costume for a wobbly walking baby instead?
i want a baby RIGHT NOW so i can dress him/her like this!
some gems from the list -
- If riding the bus doesn't incentivize you to improve your station in life, nothing will.
- Find a Times New Roman in the streets and a Wingdings in the sheets. She exists.
- One girlfriend at a time is probably enough.
- Yes, of course you have to buy her dinner.
read the rest @ [businessinsider.com]
love everything about this lookbook.
Several times we looked at each other and then looked away. I tried to think of something to say to you — maybe pretend I didn't know where I was going and ask you for directions or say something nice about your boot-shaped earrings, or just say, "Hot day." It all seemed so stupid.
At one point, I caught you staring at me and you immediately averted your eyes. You pulled a book out of your bag and started reading it — a biography of Lyndon Johnson — but I noticed you never once turned a page.
My stop was Union Square, but at Union Square I decided to stay on, rationalizing that I could just as easily transfer to the 7 at 42nd Street, but then I didn't get off at 42nd Street either. You must have missed your stop as well, because when we got all the way to the end of the line at Ditmars, we both just sat there in the car, waiting.
I cocked my head at you inquisitively. You shrugged and held up your book as if that was the reason.
Still I said nothing.
We took the train all the way back down — down through Astoria, across the East River, weaving through midtown, from Times Square to Herald Square to Union Square, under SoHo and Chinatown, up across the bridge back into Brooklyn, past Barclays and Prospect Park, past Flatbush and Midwood and Sheepshead Bay, all the way to Coney Island. And when we got to Coney Island, I knew I had to say something.
Still I said nothing.
And so we went back up.
Up and down the Q line, over and over. We caught the rush hour crowds and then saw them thin out again. We watched the sun set over Manhattan as we crossed the East River. I gave myself deadlines: I'll talk to her before Newkirk; I'll talk to her before Canal. Still I remained silent.
For months we sat on the train saying nothing to each other. We survived on bags of skittles sold to us by kids raising money for their basketball teams. We must have heard a million mariachi bands, had our faces nearly kicked in by a hundred thousand break dancers. I gave money to the beggars until I ran out of singles. When the train went above ground I'd get text messages and voicemails ("Where are you? What happened? Are you okay?") until my phone ran out of battery.
I'll talk to her before daybreak; I'll talk to her before Tuesday. The longer I waited, the harder it got. What could I possibly say to you now, now that we've passed this same station for the hundredth time? Maybe if I could go back to the first time the Q switched over to the local R line for the weekend, I could have said, "Well, this is inconvenient," but I couldn't very well say it now, could I? I would kick myself for days after every time you sneezed — why hadn't I said "Bless You"? That tiny gesture could have been enough to pivot us into a conversation, but here in stupid silence still we sat.
There were nights when we were the only two souls in the car, perhaps even on the whole train, and even then I felt self-conscious about bothering you. She's reading her book, I thought, she doesn't want to talk to me. Still, there were moments when I felt a connection. Someone would shout something crazy about Jesus and we'd immediately look at each other to register our reactions. A couple of teenagers would exit, holding hands, and we'd both think: Young Love.
For sixty years, we sat in that car, just barely pretending not to notice each other. I got to know you so well, if only peripherally. I memorized the folds of your body, the contours of your face, the patterns of your breath. I saw you cry once after you'd glanced at a neighbor's newspaper. I wondered if you were crying about something specific, or just the general passage of time, so unnoticeable until suddenly noticeable. I wanted to comfort you, wrap my arms around you, assure you I knew everything would be fine, but it felt too familiar; I stayed glued to my seat.
One day, in the middle of the afternoon, you stood up as the train pulled into Queensboro Plaza. It was difficult for you, this simple task of standing up, you hadn't done it in sixty years. Holding onto the rails, you managed to get yourself to the door. You hesitated briefly there, perhaps waiting for me to say something, giving me one last chance to stop you, but rather than spit out a lifetime of suppressed almost-conversations I said nothing, and I watched you slip out between the closing sliding doors.
It took me a few more stops before I realized you were really gone. I kept waiting for you to reenter the subway car, sit down next to me, rest your head on my shoulder. Nothing would be said. Nothing would need to be said.
When the train returned to Queensboro Plaza, I craned my neck as we entered the station. Perhaps you were there, on the platform, still waiting. Perhaps I would see you, smiling and bright, your long gray hair waving in the wind from the oncoming train.
But no, you were gone. And I realized most likely I would never see you again. And I thought about how amazing it is that you can know somebody for sixty years and yet still not really know that person at all.
I stayed on the train until it got to Union Square, at which point I got off and transferred to the L.
pretty words. invaluable lesson. but please don't talk to me on the trains. haha

From: The "Muscle Nerd",
Jeff Anderson
Dear Frustrated Fat-Loss Seeker,
Believe it or not, there was a time when I couldn't even write you this letter...
The U.S. Government has spent BILLIONS of dollars on researching and developing the finest fitness program in the world to keep its brave men and women of the armed forces in "combat ready" shape regardless of their age, sex, and level of daily physical activity.
So I don't have to tell you that they've taken extreme measures to keep every single breakthrough under "top secret" lock and key in the hopes of keeping it out of "enemy" hands.
As a Master Fitness Trainer and Weight
Control Specialist in the U.S. Military, I've been sworn
...until NOW!
My name is Jeff Anderson, a 10-year veteran of the armed forces and currently a fitness consultant and trainer.
Commonly known around the world as the "Muscle Nerd", I've published hundreds of articles and fitness programs and built quite a reputation for helping the "Average Joe & Jane" from all walks of life finally achieve their dream body.
But while I've been known as a soldier and "fitness expert" in my life, I'm ALSO an "Average Joe" just like YOU... faced with all of the same challenges!
I'm a husband and a father with a heavy daily workload and all of life's little "responsibilities" piled high on my shoulders.
I'm always strugging to find time to workout in between taking the kids to school, running errands, satisfying "clients", and to make matters worse...I LOVE food!
But over time, work, family responsibilities, lack of exercise and a poor diet caught up with me and before I knew what hit me...
I was 40 years
It didn't happen overnight...and it didn't always used to be this way.
I actually grew up a "skinny guy" who could eat pizza by the truckload and never seem to gain a pound. I would even TRY to gain weight and couldn't!
But as I got older, my metabolism began to change and suddenly I found myself in my 40's and facing a new challenge...how to LOSE weight as I watched layer after layer of disgusting body fat stick to my waist (and yikes...even my chest!) more and more!
Have you found yourself in a similar situation? I mean, be honest...
How many times have you looked at your body in the mirror and felt depressed because you don't understand how you could possibly have let yourself gain so much weight?
Have you tried "dieting"...cardio...personal trainers..."lose weight quick" programs...maybe even "fat burning supplements" and still found that the fat plastered to your waist, hips, butt, or thighs just wouldn't come off?
Are you challenged with the daily struggle of balancing work, family, errands, a social life, preparing meals, and THEN trying to fit in "exercise" to try and beat back your ever-widening waistband?
Let's face it...it's getting harder
But one day I finally looked at myself in the mirror and decided I had finally "had enough"!
I was tired of looking "older" than my age...watching my health deteriorate...and what's worse...I noticed I had started to ACCEPT my "new weight"!
So when I finally decided it was time to take back control of my life, my health, and my pants size, I had to look no further than the lessons I'd learned as a hard-charging member of some of the world's most elite military units!
You see, as a Staff Sergeant, I was tasked as a leader to maintain the physicaly readiness of my soldiers and make sure they were always "fit to fight". You see...
In the military, staying "lean"
To keep our troops in top physical
It was my job to monitor, track, and train any soldier in my unit who strayed too far away from a proper diet and exercise routine (and too close to the pizza and beer) and make sure that they were in compliance with the military's "weight standards".
But while you may not think you can identify with a soldier's challenges of staying lean and trim, I can assure you that the same daily problems that keep you from winning the war on fat are the same faced by the men and women of the military as well.
And until now, the methods I used to help "chubby" soldiers gain back control of their belt size and reach peak physical condition again was "classified" and only available to military personel, I've figured out a way to bring you the very BEST fat loss and physical conditioning strategies in the world...without giving up "government secrets".
Due to a little known "loophole" in
security policy,
Here's why...
While I'm sworn to secrecy to not divulge the exact documented fitness research and program structure outside of the use of active military personnel, nothing actually prohibits my own development of personal fitness programs "based upon" the same strategies we used to stay in top shape on active duty.
That means that I can still use the lessons learned during the advanced Master Fitness training I took part in and create my own customized training strategies for non-military personell!
In short, I can show you exactly how we stayed in perfect physical shape as long as I don't show you our exact documented training manuals and exact troop schedule and agenda.
But wait...it gets even BETTER...
Not only have I consolidated the very best nutrition and exercise strategies we used to reveal your lean, muscular body that's eluded you for so long, but through my extensive research in cutting edge breakthroughs in weight loss strategies, I've incorporated my own proven methods for blasting through body fat at breakneck speed to make the military's techniques EVEN MORE POWERFUL!
And I've laid it all out in a simple, easy-to-follow set of manuals that covers absolutely EVERY DETAIL you need to be victorious in your battle against body fat.
"Top Secret" Military Know-How
Get Ready To..."Combat The Fat"!
That's right...I'm PERSONALLY going to reveal to you every single fat burning strategy I've ever developed, not only as a member of some of the world's most elite military units...but also as a modern researcher of new and exciting weight loss tactics and proven fat burning techniques!
And there's no need to worry about complicated military protocol or jargon because I'm going to put it all into plain English that anyone from husband to housewife...student to CEO...dad to mom can quickly and easily put into action immediately...even from your own home if you wish!
No military acronyms or hard-to-understand mumbo jumbo!
Just the boiled down secrets you need to finally defeat body fat once and for all!
"Sounds GREAT Jeff...
But What 'Military Secrets' Are You Going To Cover
Of course, I wouldn't recruit new "soldiers" without making sure you fully understand why the military's advanced fat-blasting strategies are your ticket to the body of your dreams, right?
So let me introduce you to just a sample of the amazing fat loss techniques I'm about to share with youyour 9 Module Agenda, otherwise known as your "fat-blasting weapons arsenal"...
Just Take A Look At What You Get In
And What About Fat-Burning Exercise?
Yes...you ARE going to need to sweat a little! But you knew that, right?
But here's my promise to you...you're gonna LOVE every single minute of these incredible training sessions!
I've harnessed 3 of the military's most advanced workout strategies that you won't find anywhere else. These are the "cutting edge" programs I used to transform my "chubby" soldiers into the lean, muscular "warriors" the military expects them to be.
Only I've developed a few little "tricks" to make them even MORE powerful...even if you only have 3 DAYS A WEEK to train!
It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman...or even how strong you are!
Let me show you what I have in store for you in the "Combat The Fat? Workout Guide"...
Eat MORE Food...Burn MORE FAT!
One of the main problems with so many of the diets that litter the graveyard of "fad programs" on the bookshelves is the miserable restrictions they force you to undertake in order to get your calories down.
I'm here to tell you they are DEAD WRONG in their approach to "eating to lose weight"!
What if I told you that the answer to fast, permanent fat loss is NOT to "eat less"?
And what if I told you I could sum up your entire "daily eating strategy" with just 8 SIMPLE RULES that allowed you to eat MORE food...without having to count a single calorie..and was absolutely DELICIOUS?!
DESSERTS are even REQUIRED!
Well, it's all TRUE and it's all covered in my easy-to-follow companion "Combat The Fat? Nutrition Program"...
Sound like a lot of information? Well, you're right...it IS!
You see, my goal is to give you EVERYTHING you could every need to finally take control of your ability to burn through stubborn body fat while increasing muscular definition for that lean, sexy look you've longed for for so long.
I've held absolutely NOTHING back with revealing the exact "military" tactics for getting in the best shape of your life (short of tempting the men in "black suits" to come knocking on my door ;-)
So as you can see, you don't need to "enlist" in the Marines in order to have the body of a "warrior"!
ANYONE can take advantage of
this easy-to-follow
Now The Only Question Is...
...how much will it cost " to transform your body to "fitness model" proportions and finally reveal the "real you", right?
Well, if you were to sign up with me as an "individual client", you and I would meet 3 X week at my normal $75 per 30-minute session rate. All in all, that would cost you as much as $11,700 a year to train with me...AND you'd have to live near MY gym!
Heck, I've even seen programs advertised on television that don't cover HALF as much as the information I'm about to share with you for as much as $147!
But staying true to my role of sticking up for the "Average Joe (and Jane)", I realize that even that steep of a price tag takes my program WAY out of the reach of most of the people I'm looking to help.
Besides...what I'm looking for are SUCCESS STORIES...so in order to get my material into the hands of the men and women who can really use it, I've decided to keep the price SUPER low and really start a "movement" of new "recruits" to help me spread the word!
Therefore, true to my committment to make this an absolute STEAL for you, I'm only going to charge a nominal fee of just $39.95!
No, that's NOT a typo...that really IS just $39.95 for the WHOLE PROGRAM! Start to finish!
Think about it...you could EASILY spend 30 TIMES that much on personal trainers, worthless "fat burner" supplements, nutrition coaches, and "Hollywood diets" and it would STILL only be about half my normal rate!
But for a limited time, I'm offering you a chance to "enlist" in the one diet and exercise program that has worked for HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of men and women every day!
And just to remove every last scrap of doubt from your mind that the Combat The Fat? program is your absolute BEST CHANCE to finally defeat stubborn body fat, I'm going to PERSONALLY back up my promise to you with my 100% Full Money Back Guarantee...
And just when you were convinced this was already a "sweet deal", let me make it a complete "no brainer" for you...
Let me make this a complete "No
Ok, I know this is a lot to take in, so let me break this down exactly what we're talking about...
Think about it...
I mean, considering the hundreds, perhaps THOUSANDS of dollars you'll spend on personal trainers, nutrition counseling, doctors visits, and worthless supplements over the next several months...

Fat? Program...
