Hotel Safety
Disturbing but necessary facts about hotel safety and hygiene.
1. Pass the glass.
The last time those paper-capped glasses saw a dishwasher may well have been during the Reagan administration (especially if your lodging is a far cry from four-star). Even if they haven't been sipped from, they've probably been handled, putting you at risk for contagions like the stomach flu. "A robust virus can live on a glass for a couple days," says Philip M. Tierno Jr., MD, director of clinical microbiology and immunology at New York University Medical Center and author of The Secret Life of Germs. Concerned? Ask for some new glasses from room service.
2. Don't let the bed bugs bite.
After being nearly forgotten in the U.S., bed bugs have recently made a comeback, even at the nicest hotels. (Some experts think the resurgence is due to international travelers bringing home the varmints.) Generally found in heavily trafficked urban areas, they have flat, reddish-brown bodies that are about one-quarter- to one-half-inch long. Their MO is to feed by sucking your blood. The bad news is that the bugs like to hide, so you may not know you have them until you wake up covered in bites. It's worth inspecting the room when you arrive. Look in the nightstand drawer, under the mattress, and in any cracks and crevices around the bed or bed frame, says Xing Ping Hu, PhD, an associate professor of entomology at Auburn University in Alabama.
3. Safeguard valuables.
An electronic safe is the best bet for keeping your items secure in your room. But don't get too confident, says Amy Ziff, Travelocity's editor-at-large. Stash serious valuables in the hotel safe. It can be a major hassle timewise, but the hotel safe is more likely to be insured. Other tips: Before leaving your room, close the blinds and turn on the TV and a light to discourage casual thieves. And skip the "Please Clean Room" sign -- it's a red alert that the room is prime for the picking.

Lunch in Kingstowne/Springfield?
- chowser Oct 3, 2006 07:19 PM
I meet my husband for lunch near Kingstown/Springfield Mall area often. Any suggestions for non-chain places? We've been to Pasaro too many time to count, especially for how hit or miss it can be. House of Dynasty is good but too heavy for lunch. It seems like near Trader Joe's there are quite a few little restaurants. Anyone try any? Thanks!
I'm sorry you haven't gotten any replies...but I think it's because there really isn't much to choose from in that area. I lived in Kingstowne for a year and then moved back to Arlington partially because of the lack of good restaurants and activities in this area...also because it wasn't very safe.
I did, however, really like Pasara and it was right across the street from where I lived. Over near the Trader Joe's is Mike's American Grill (one of the Great American Restaurants...e.g. Sweet Water, Coastal Flats...etc.) Mike's has good, consistent food like the other G.A.R. chains. There is also a Five Guys over there for quick burgers and fries...not a nice joint but good (at least I think they're good).
The Kingstowne/Springfield area has potential but unfortunately there isn't much there right now. Good Luck!
re: AlliantK
Thanks for responding. That's what we're finding, too, that there aren't many choices. I like Mike's but I find I always get the same thing at all the Great American restaurants. Maybe I'll just start trying out all these little restaurants that are out near Springfield. I'll report back if I find anything good.
re: DC Gal
Mike's is about the same for lunch but it's good. I'll have to check out El Paso. I did try a Peruvian place behind Trader Joe's. Sit down was okay but they seemed to do a huge take out business.
Really? I only barely know that area, but I find myself with whiplash as I drive through after seeing all the nice potentials.
For one, one of the original 5 Guys is down there.
Two, there's a little mall just south of the VW dealership, all the signs in the mall are in black and yellow. There's a very good Thai place back in the SW corner, a vietnamese place and some other interesting looking places throughout the mall.
There's a couple of good looking holes in the wall sort of across from the VW dealership and a tad north, and in the mall on Old Keene Mill are a few places I know have piqued my interest.
Sorry that I don't know more specifics, but it seems like you can have a few weeks of chow hunting to report to us all about.
re: Dennis S
I'm up for the challenge.:-) I've tried some places on Backlick that weren't as good as the reviews I've seen in the paper. The ones behind the mall are what catch my eye. We'll start trying them out. My husband likes 5 guys, didn't know it was the one of the originals. I try to look for healthier options for lunch. Thanks!
re: chowser
On the Five Guys - it was one that existed well before they started franchising anyway, as to where in the order of existence it is, I'm not sure.
I've been working near the Springfield mall for the past 6 months and have to agree that there really isn't much but I have found some "chowhound" places I keep returning to:
Kate's Irish (in the shopping center across from Mike's) serves decent food at incredible prices. I like the irish stew but not fond of their corned beef.
Delia's on Backlick (near the Jiffy Lube) the gyro greek salad is something to go back for, and most of their sandwich's are great, my fiancee loves the pizza and the dolmades entree.Also they have a very good Peruvian chicken that is served with two sides.
El Paso - not bad, but not great either. the service is friendly.
on the other side of the mall - I enjoy a Thai Place called Rice & Spice on Franconia (next to the Burrito Joynt - which I do not recommend). The owners of the Thai restaurant are really nice. The Asian Roll is great, fresh basil, fresh mint and plump shrimp. The rest of the dishes are above standard and they can make it very spicy if you ask.
Yes, lots of choices at Delia's but I kind of think of Delia's as a greek diner with a peruvian twist. I grew up in New Jersey so it kind of reminds me of home. Good luck -- please post anything new that you find.
re: davefaris
Yes, that and Red, Hot and Blue. They're pretty good for a quick bite, too. I haven't been to King Street Blues in a while. Thanks for reminding me.
You mentioned House of Dynasty as being too heavy. Another option for Chinese fare is Canton Cafe, next to Trader Joes in the Springfield Plaza. I've had some good dishes there and their roast pork has been good in the past. I do believe they serve soups too, so that might be better if you are looking for 'lighter' food for lunch.
re: Lonewolfcub
Funny you'd mention that. We used to go there all the time because my husband's uncle owned it (nothing like free food). He sold it and moved on to a place near Rose Hill (he's gone for the americanized chinese food crowd for the most part). Bad blood with the two owners so we can't go there anymore. I really liked the jook they have there.
I live nearby and have found a number of very good places to eat. I think someone mentioned the Thai place Rice and Noodles (the correct name), it is very good, agree with the great owners comment. However, I do disagree about Burrito Joint, I have always enjoyed their burritos and homade salsa.
Just across the street, go past Franconia Pizza without stopping to the far corner to find the Mediterranian Cafe (or is it Grocery?). Anyway, they have great daily specials as well as nice pita sandwiches--I usually order the Chicken Shawarma. This place is owned by a Lebenease family. I don't know much about it, but would assume the food leans that way.
Back towards the mall, next to Home Depot, try ZPizza for the best pizza in the area. Specials include 2 slices and a drink for @$5. Their salads are wonderful, no iceburg lettuce. Also an interesting Latin chicken sandwich.
I rarely cross 95, but down backlick (inside the Beltway), their is a new International Grocery going in. There are a few small ethnic grocerys there. There is also a Vietnamese place, something lile the Ba Min Deli (I haven't been in a good while,) but they had interesting sandwiches.
Also, next to Red Hot and Blue on Beulah, is a good Indian buffet and also what I think is the best sushi in the area, Matsui.
Oh yeah, one last thing. The Safeway in Kingstown makes great sandwiches at lunchtime. Very good, overstuffed, gormet ones. 6 inches is more than enough.
re: Custis
Thanks--that's a great list to start with. There were places I've wondered about, like that ZPizza. It looks so chain-like that I haven't tried it. I've been looking for a good Indian place, too, nearby w/out having to drive out to Bombay Bistro and sushi.
re: Custis
The Lebanese place is the Mediterranean Gourmet Market 6122 Franconia, it is in the strip mall with the Sampan Cafe, last business way in the back. They have an open fire oven where you can get freshly baked zaatar and ground lamb topped bread. Limited menu, just a few tables, but good to know about. The place is primarily a market.
Matsui is good, I like the chirashi bowl there, excellent value. In that same strip mall is a Greek place which has hearty gyro platters and the like.
For pho, Pho Cong Ly on Backlick Road is the one.
re: NoVaDog
we just got a flyer for that place and I wanted to try it out. I think first on my list is the sushi place. We don't have it often because we haven't found a place we like. I like Pho Cong Ly, but didn't remember the name. I like pho in colder weather, like today, it would great. Thanks!
I would reccommend ZPizza, I think it is a chain, but it is a good one. They were voted best pizza by the Washingtoian Magazine. I have to say since I found them, I don't go anywhere else. They do have it by the slice, but that is sometimes hit or miss--do ask them to heat it unless it looks fresh.
Today I went to the food court in the mall. Mostly jusk but there are a few that I like. In particular, well, I am not sure I know its name! It is a fast Thai place, maybe something like Mynmar. They have a green curry that is pretty good. For some reason, I really like food courts

Meanwhile, somewhere NOV.....
New routine, new log. I've been out of the gym for about 10 days. I plan on returning tomorrow afternoon.
I will be using 5/3/1 for probably the rest of the year.
During the first 2 cycles I will be using the "Periodization Bible" assistance template from the second edition of 5/3/1. There is no well thought out reason I will be using this template other than it seems to be a happy medium between "boring but big" and the "triumvirate".
Also, at the same time I am starting this I will be attempting to drop weight. For the first phase of cutting weight i will be cleaning up my diet, counting calories and attempting to eat a caloric deficit.
So that covers the basics of my current plan. I'm looking forward to getting back into the gym, being away is bad for my mind state. Onward and Up ward.

Treat Eto'o like a baby and he becomes a lionJanuary 27, 2010
Samuel Eto'o, Roger Milla, Venus Williams and now... PUMA Football. Yes, we've just joined the stellar list of names that the Cameroon team's physio Daniel Tcky has pummelled into submission.
We thought it would be fun, even relaxing, but the reality is that Daniel is used to massaging far tougher bodies than our puny frame. So instead of gently falling asleep on the treatment table we feel like we're being operated on without anaesthetic.
A Chat with Samuel Eto'o of Cameroon and Inter MilanJanuary 26, 2010
PUMAFootball: You've played in Spain, now Italy, what does it mean to come back to Africa and hear the fans cheer for you?
ETO'O: It is an honor for me to play all the time in African stadia. I believe that my dearest - dearest dream is always to return. Every time I go away, I tell myself Samuel, when will you come back?? And every time I come back, I really enjoy it. Yesterday, despite the fact we lost, you can see that, here, where I live in Africa, people are proud to see me again. I can use the occasion to tell the spectators that I have to thank them for their welcome yesterday in the stadium. And, yesterday, I couldn't score, I tried to do my best but that depends on how you see it; I hope we will be luckier on Sunday. I hope I'll score and I hope that I'll be able to put my teammates in better positions so that they can score.
Hi, I'm Sammy Eto'o. How are you doing??January 15, 2010
Over the past few days, PUMAFootball may have developed a bit of a man crush on Cameroon's legendary No.9. It's not just that the ever smiling striker bounded over to us at the Indomitable Lions training ground in Lubango to say hello, it's that he introduced himself by name. As if we wouldn't know who he was! But this charming man hasn't got just us under his spell; the whole of Africa seems to adore him.

JACKASS 2.5 Ready To Debut Online!
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here.
And leave it to Johnny Knoxville to tell you in his own inimitable fashion:
I won't lie... I'd rather see JACKASS 3, with all-new footage, than a film made up of outtakes, but when they turn around and try an all-new distribution model on something like this, then I think it becomes really worthwhile. I've seen a lot of people try to imitate JACKASS and what makes it work, but no one's come close in my opinion, and I'm ready to see this movie ASAP.
In the meantime, you can add the new official site to your bookmarks, where I found the above video and the promise of a lot more to come.

Stupid concept for stupid people.
by ZeroCorpse
However, as there will always be chavs, mooks, white trash, wiggers, rednecks, and mouth-breathers in the world, I suppose something had to come along to entertain them after "America's Funniest Home Videos" went off the air.
 Reminds me of the future Mike Judge pictures, where the biggest movie in theaters is called "Ass" and that's all it is. 90 minutes of an ass, farting occasionally.
 Jackass is four letters away from this.

by MaxTheSilent
As was said by as poster before me, it's the combination of such charismatic and individual personalities in JACKASS. I've watched THE DUDESONS and DIRTY SANCHEZ and not a single person in those other show has an ounce of the character of any of the JACKASS guys. Yes, even Ehren.

365 days. 24 goals. One changed lady.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I'm still working through this precise problem. I've started eating more protein and working out more consistently (read: every day.) I hope that's what does it! Plateaus suck!
I can't believe it's finally here: my Big 25! Today, May 22, 2013, I am 25 years old, thus ending my Big 24 experiment, and I couldn't be happier with the results.
Did I finish all of my Goals? No. In fact, I didn't finish about half. Some I amended, some I had to abandon altogether and some I did to an extent. But I don't feel like I failed at anything. In fact, I feel very content with what I did accomplish.
When I look back at the Goals, I realize that some of them just lost the level of importance I placed upon them and others grew more and more prominent in my life. And some just dropped off my radar, simply because others overshadowed them. Like I said, I don't think this is a failure; I think this is what happens during one year in the life of a twentysomething: Some things fall by the wayside because other things consume your time.
So which Goals did I complete in their entirety?
- I got a job
- I ran a 5K
- I learned to change a tire
- I visited the southernmost point in the U.S. — Key West
- I donated my hair to Locks of Love
- I ate a bowl of Ben's Chili in front of the White House
- I attended the opening night of an opera
- I baked 52 cupcakes in one year
- I kept a piggy bank for a year
- I shot a gun
THIS IS IT, everyone: the LAST Big 24 cupcake recipe!
Yes, I understand it's confusing because it's "Week 35," but I doubled up a lot of weeks, so it actually does work out. I made 52 different cupcakes this year, and this is No. 52: Martha Stewart's s'mores cupcakes!
This recipe was so perfect to end my Big 24 on a high note. The cupcakes were fairly simple, yet required a bit of technique, and they taste unbelievable. I know I say this every time, but I urge you to try them yourself!
These are not the easiest cupcakes to make, mostly because you must make the cakes, the chocolate ganache and the marshmallow frosting. But none of the elements are very difficult — mostly time-consuming, if anything. Do not let that deter you from trying these out! THEY ARE WORTH IT!
Let's get started! Here's what you'll need for the cakes: flour, graham flour (I crushed graham crackers using my food processor because I couldn't find any graham flour at Publix), butter, honey, baking powder, salt, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar and eggs.

President Barack Obama, flanked by Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, gives his State of the Union address during a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill.
A number of prominent members of the Illinois Congressional delegation are headed to Washington, D.C. to attend President Obama's 2014 State of the Union address. And, as to help emphasize on what they see as the need for comprehensive immigration reform, each is bringing an immigration reform advocate to be their guest.
Among the dignitaries and invitees to the Jan. 28 speech will be U.S. Representatives Luis Gutiérrez (IL-4), Mike Quigley (IL-5), Jan Schakowsky (IL-9), Brad Schneider (IL-10) and Bill Foster (IL-11). The president is expected to make immigration reform, considered a top priority for his second term agenda, a highlight of the speech.
"The State of the Union helps lay the road map and set the priorities for the upcoming year," Reps. Gutiérrez, Quigley, Schakowsky, Schneider and Foster said together in a statement. "This year, we joined together to invite people whose stories illustrate the importance of immigration reform and to make clear that passing comprehensive immigration reform should be at the top of the to-do list."
Guitierrez invited Rev. Tony Suarez, National Vice President of Chapters for the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. Accompanying Schakowsky will be Rudy Lopez, a senior organizer in Chicago for the Fair Immigration Reform Movement. Schneider and Foster each will bring Estafania Garcia and Maria Torres, immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and distinguished themselves through high academic achievement and giving of themselves to their communities.
For his part, Rep. Quigley has asked Ameya Pawar, Chicago alderman from the 47th Ward. The son of Indian immigrants and the city's first Asian-American alderman, Pawar's parents came to the U.S. to pursue a better life for their family. Today, the Pawar children are serving as an alderman, a doctor of physical therapy and an intelligence officer in the United States Air Force.
"It's an incredible honor to attend and to have been asked by Congressman Quigley," Pawar told Ward Room. "Just as important, I'm honored to go and support the Illinois delegations efforts to move a comprehensive immigration reform bill in 2014."

Bosse Tools wants to provide you with ergonomic tools and their 21st Century Shovel has been reinvented to make it easier to use. Their goal is to help you get more done in less time – while preventing you from getting injured. With traditional shovels, you can get a sore back, wrists, and arms from twisting and tweaking in unnatural positions – all of which the Ergonomic Shovel eliminates thanks to its innovative design. The shovel utilizes the body's strongest muscles to alleviate these issues by returning you to a more natural position. Bosse Tools provides an ergonomic benefit for its users.
The shovel will help improve posture and reduce back strain, as well as minimize shoulder injury by by making sure any and all lifting tasks are two-handed and in front of the body, which evenly distributes the loads across the shoulders and chest. Its center handle rotates so you can customize your hand position for any job you're working on. So by angling the handle towards the place where you will pitch the snow or dirt, you can do your job in one single motion – dig, scoop, and pitch – all in one. The foot stomp also allows for added force to be applied by the foot through the center of the tool and will be an added featured only if they reach their stretch goal. If you pledge $79 or more, you'll be able to choose from a spade, flat head or snow shovel.

Now that the Pagani Zonda and its countless special editions is dead and buried, the Italian supercar manufacturer can finally focus on the Huayra and the bespoke iterations customers are demanding. We've already seen one such model reach U.S. dealerships earlier in 2014 , and a second supercar just landed on American soil, this time around in Kris Singh's garage.
Known as a passionate car collector, Singh joined the exclusive club of Pagani Huayra supercar owners by taking delivery of his unique, La Monza Lisa edition. The first Huayra to feature a special name, Singh's Pagani showcases a bare carbon-fiber finish and wears a custom Italian Tricolore stripe down its nose, roof and engine bonnet. Adding to its uniqueness is a set of chrome, seven-spoke rims usually seen on the track-confined Pagani Zonda R . A "Pagani" vanity plate rounds off Singh's Huayra, which is set to turn many heads.
Just like his rare Lamborghini Veneno and the Huracan he's about to receive will do.
Engine-wise, the Huayra La Monza Lisa is as stock as it gets. Residing under the long rear hood is the same, AMG-sourced, 6.0-liter V-12 that sends 730 horsepower and 740 pound-feet of torque to the wheels and a piercing note through that sexy, center-mounted exhaust.

Hey ErikR, You have some great stuff here. your sense of value and composition are strong. but I feel like you're relying on the software to much for color and texture.
If you don't mind, Id suggest painting from life or photo. and try some figure drawing, preferably from life.
Keep it up
You've got a gorgeous, lively sense of color and some really interesting ideas, but they're held back by some fundamental problems. The biggest one of proportion. Pretty much every figure has at least one or two things wrong with it. All this work from your imagination is great, but slow down and do some observational studies (from life if possible; photos if not) until the proportions of the human body are ingrained in you, and your hand can more accurately reflect what's in your head.
And when I say slow down, I mean work on them until they're 100% correct. There's a great quote I heard here on cA once--"Practice doesn't make perfect; perfect practice makes perfect." You won't learn proportions by allowing mistakes.
I'd suggest spending more time your imaginative work too, flipping it horizontally and correcting and correcting until you're convinced it's right, but spending time working from reference first will help with that.
So again, there's some real talent shining through here and some fresh ideas. But take a step back so you don't compromise your pictures with comparatively weak fundamentals.

Spaceship sketch. I feel like the design on this one is kinda weak, but figured i would post it anyway and those searchlights should probably not be that visible during daytime. I gotta do more planning next time... and also slowly finish some stuff.

BenjaminJL92: Oh not enough : P, I have been struggling with wrist pain(which might be caused by a gangilion cyst if you know what that is) and therefore haven't really been able to draw as much as I would like. Also I've been having irl issues which are better now though. I'll be finishing school next year so after that I will be able to paint a lot more . But usually when I'm not painting/drawing I watch a lot of pro artists work over at cghub or just think about art or what i can do to improve etc. But thanks a lot for that comment, really encouraging . My goal right now is just try to draw/paint as much as i can without getting burnt out/fucking up my wrist, and I've started doing more studies too. Srry for writing an essay here xP.
Here's a 2:42am sketch once again, kinda focusing on soft vs hard edge which I've realised is very important. Will hopefully have something more finished at some point Soon ™:s.

Link: Small Fates by Teju Cole
This is a selection from my Twitter project small fates, a Fénéon-inspired series of (non-fictional) news briefs drawn from Nigerian newspapers. I worked on the project on and off from February 2011-February 2013. For more, see here, and here, and here.
"In doing this, I was leaning on the old French journalistic practice of the faits divers, which has not really caught on that much in the English-speaking world. But it's been around in France for hundreds of years. Basically what they are is small, uncredited news items that appear in a column in the newspaper. … Around 1906, a writer — an anarchist and art historian, as it turns out — named Felix Feneon, for the newspaper Le Matin, for the course of 1906, was writing them. He somehow ended up elevating them to an art form. Where people were writing these news stories in a very plain and somewhat dull way before, he injected them with irony, with a dark humor, with a kind of epigrammatic compression."
1. Eyes closed please. While one man led prayers at Christ Happyhome Church in Sango Ota, three of his accomplices robbed the congregation.
2.Shamsudeni was sleeping in Nyanya when Abubakar sneaked into his house, crept into his bed, and woke up part of him.
3. Ude, of Ikata, recently lost his wife. Tired of arguing with her, he used a machete.
4. Some moms make empty threats. Not Anyah, of Lafia, who brought Joseph into this world and, over a land dispute, took him out of it.
5. "He doesn't." "She won't let me." Court testimony from Saratu and Isa, of Kaduna, who last did it ten years ago.
6. down. The Lagos office of Xerox burned down. The Lagos office of Xerox burned down. The Lagos office of Xerox burned down. The Lagos
7. A common fantasy: going back to destroy one's primary school. Olumide, of Benin City, actually did it, and will spend 18 months in jail.
8. A dyslexic tailor in Bichi accidentally said, "the Prophet has come to market." Blasphemy. The resulting interfaith dialogue left four dead.
9. MYXOMATOSIS. n. 1 Viral disease of rabbits. 2 Radiohead song. 3 Word spelled by Ibukun, 15, in Abuja to win the 2012 Spellbound Contest.
10. Arrested for theft in Mecca, the Nigerian immigrant Ibrahim is now learning to use his left hand.
11. God is in all things. In Lagos, ThankGod was murdered by his brother. In Abuja, Godswill was appointed Minister of Power.
12. "It's the Devil. I don't normally do this kind of thing," Ogwuche clarified in Kogi after robbing and killing the fishmonger Victoria Moses.
13. In a spectacular case of carelessness, Ugbo, 75, of Benin, a witch doctor specializing in arrest-evasion amulets, has been arrested.
14. Some ladies whisper sweet nothings to their boyfriends. Into the ear of hers, Ejima, 35, in Asaba, poured hot Indomie noodles.
15. Monkey see, monkey do! Many of those who gathered to watch a troupe of baboons perform at Ikotun found their wallets lighter afterwards.
16. Lesbians! There are reports of more and more of them in Calabar, which is great. Greatly worrisome. And terrible. Terribly exciting.
17. In London (1755), Oyo (1897), and Lagos (2012), respectively, Samuel Johnson was a lexicographer, historian, and fake soldier.
18. Boarding her London-bound flight in Lagos, grandma Fatimat Abike absent-mindedly exceeded the cocaine carry-on limit by 1.74 kg.
19. According to the Chief Medical Officer of the Lagos DNA Centre, 50% of their paternity tests came back negative, you bastards.
20. When you get that feeling, you need sexual healing. But, also, consent. Niyi, 35, a security guard in Ile-Ife, has been arrested.
21. With a snap, an electrical pole in Sabo fell on Okolie's car. With a crackle, it began to electrocute it. With a pop, he escaped.
22. In Cross River, the retired soldier Agbiji slapped his wife just once, but he misjudged his strength and is now a widower.
23. Prince Monday Whiskey was, on Monday, whisked away by persons unknown.
24. Unfairly accused by journalist Ibya of abuse of power, the First Lady of Benue had his wife, children, uncle, and mother-in-law arrested.
25. At Adeniji Adele, Lagos, both of Mr Adio's wives are in hot water, the first for having poured it on the second.
26. Mrs Sofunlayo delivered a baby at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital. And another. And another. And another. Done! No, one more.
27. What has three faces and four legs in Osogbo? Babatunde, 33, and Adebayo, 38, holding the severed head of Abefe, 65.
28. In Kubwa a man armed with a toy gun stole a real Camry.
29. In the matter of a 12-year-old girl in Ekiti, Innocent, 35, admits he wasn't.
30. The members of a fake Super Glue syndicate in Ikotun came to a sticky end.
31. In Ojota last night, Teju Cole, 36, underwent an extreme form of literary criticism: he was relieved of his laptop at gunpoint.
32. Someone has a mania for democracy. 1,388 voting machines were stolen from the Electoral Commission in Lagos.
33. In a heavy morning fog, Mohammed, of Bauchi, couldn't see who was following him. Frightened, he knocked the person dead. His wife.
34. Oluwatosin was swimming in a pool in Ikotun when he entered the past tense.
35. Four men of Zamfara who went deep into the earth in search of gold are now the earth's.
36. If it's not one thing, it's your mother. With petrol and matches, Akinkuotu, of Ondo, orphaned himself.
37. Fleet-fingered Wasiu skilfully snatched N20,000 at Anthony Bus Stop but, being a modest man, insisted it was the Devil's work.
38. At the City Centre Hotel in Surulere, Boniface Nwachie died happy.
39. To prevent future terrorist attacks and fix dangerous roads, the Nigerian Senate will consider a bill prohibiting gay marriage.
40. A man from Chad, stopped in Badagry, was carrying nine tusks from which the elephants had been removed.
41. At N7 million per kilo, double its price three months ago, cocaine is no longer affordable for most middle-class families in Lagos.
42. Age is nothing but a number. For James Eze, businessman and pedophile in Ogoja, the number is 2.
43. As the deeds of the former Speaker of the House were being brought to light at the Federal High Court, there was a power outage.
44. The Nigeria Police motto is "the police is your friend," but Taiwo, 25, beaten in Alapere for not paying a bribe, has his doubts.
45. Did too many of Professor Igbafe's pretty female students at the University of Benin graduate with honors? Yes.

I made this for myself to enjoy while I served my guests three different choices of cheesy, fat-filled enchiladas. I'm glad I doubled the recipe, because this was the hit of the party!
I couldn't find tomatoes with chipotle peppers so I used tomatoes and jalapenos. It added a little more spice, but everyone liked it that way.
really great! i added chili powder and a cup of water because i was cooking it over night. it turned out really good and actually made more than the 4 servings.
Delicious!! Lots of flavor!!
Loved this but I couldn't find tomatoes with chipotle so I used fire roasted tomatoes and one whole chipotle came out very spicy next time I think I'll seed the chipotle but overall this was very delicious

2011-12 Season Preview
MUTigers.com talks with head coach Brian Smith about each weight class going into the season
2012-13:Remained with the squad as the team's Nutritionist.
2011-12: Wrestling a full season at heavyweight for the first time in his career, Glore placed in two open tournaments and won nine matches on the season. He opened the season with three wins at the UCM Open, helping him capture sixth place. He won his opening bout by a 3-0 decision over Tim Tuaquoi (PCC) and won two straight in the wrestlebacks to guarantee a top-six finish, defeating Austin Garza of Lindenwood, 4-3, and pinning Gabi Musallam of Missouri Valley in the second period. In December, Glore took fourth at the Kaufman-Brand Open with a 4-2 record. He dropped his first bout but came back to win four in a row, including one by major decision, on his way to a top-four finish.
2010-11: Spent the first half of the season as the team's starter at 197 pounds. He picked up his lone dual victory of the season against Lindenwood, scoring a 12-1 major decision over Darrell Risinger. During the second semester, Glore moved up to heavyweight, where he placed in all three tournaments that he competed in, highlighted by taking first at the Roger Denker Open. He finished 4-0 at the Roger Denker Open, opening with a fall in 59 seconds before rallying off three straight decisions to take the title. A few weeks later, Glore went 3-2 at the MVC Open, good for a fifth place finish. He went 3-2 again at the National Collegiate Open, where he finished in fourth. Of his three wins at the tournament, Glore took two by bonus points, scoring a major decision over Tommy Sitar of Maryland and pinning Old Dominion's Matt Tourdot in 2:23.
2009-10: Competing in the 197 pound class, Glore registered five of his 10 wins last season by pin. Kicking off the season at the University of Central Missouri Open, Glore won his first match by a 13-4 major decision and followed that up by defeating Oklahoma State's Blake Rosholt 4-2. The following weekend, Glore picked up two more victories, each coming via fall. He first defeated Kyle Studer of Cumberland, pinning him in 2:34, and then pinned Central Missouri's Doug Thompson in 1:05. He'd earn an eighth place finish at the Nittany Lion Open, picking up five victories on the weekend, which included two more wins by fall. In January, Glore took first place at the Roger Denker Open, where he defeated Oklahoma State's Zac White by a 9-2 score in the final match. He later wrestled freestyle at the U.S. Open, where he took eighth place.
2008-09: Of Glore's 11 wins on the year, four were by fall, and two by technical fall. Glore won his first match of his redshirt season by way of fall in 6:20 at the Lindenwood Open. At that same tournament, Glore won four matches, three by fall, the fastest clocked at 1:36 over Jake Mabry of Oklahoma City. The 197-pound grappler closed out the year with a fifth place showing at the Missouri Valley College Open.
High School: A three-time All-American, Glore earned three letters in wrestling and was a high school state finalist his senior year (2008). Glore was also a member of the Jaguars' football team and earned all-district and all-conference honors as a linebacker and fullback. In his senior year (2008), Glore took fifth in Greco and seventh in Freestyle competition in Fargo, N.D. Competing at Senior Nationals in 2008, Glore finished the tournament in sixth place, winning seven matches in a row to tie the tournament record. The first NHSCA All-American from Jefferson County, Glore was ranked 16th in the nation at 215 pounds by Intermat.

Peachtree Road Race Report
A Last Minute Decision to Run
I hadn't really planned to run the 2008 Peachtree Road Race. When I received this year's application, I procrastinated to the point of missing the deadline for entry.
Why? I dunno.
Perhaps, with all this ultrarunning going on, I felt like the Peachtree was, well …just another 10K and why should I care about running a measly little 10K? …but that's not only arrogant-sounding, it's skipping an opportunity to participate in a great running event; and, since I ran it in 2006 and 2007, my own sort of Atlanta fourth of July tradition.
A New Peachtree Road Race Course
For the first time since 1970, due to issues with the Georgia drought, the City of Atlanta forced the Peachtree race directors to end the race somewhere other than our famous Piedmont Park. The event still races down Peachtree street from Lenox, and the runners still make that famous turn on 10th street; however, instead of finishing the race on 10th Street at the Piedmont Park entrance, runners take a quick right onto Juniper and carry on a set of short rolling hills to the finish at Ponce de Leon.
This made it seem longer to me, but I still liked the change a lot.
The Crowd Makes the Peachtree
I am always amazed at the runners I see who are so "gung ho" about their race times at this race. It's really a waste of anxiety to stress this race because:
- It's so crowded, even in the 1-3 time groups; so, unless you are the very elite, expected run under 40 minutes, and thus 'seeded', it's really difficult to get a fast start.
- You'd miss all the fun and excitement that makes the Peachtree Road Race so unique.
And that really is what makes this race so special. Along the course this year I experienced:
- A runner in a Speedo, barefoot, with an American flag cape
- A couple of military guys running in full fatigues …some carrying flags
- Two gorgeous twins running every step together
- People launching water hoses and sprayers all along the route
- Businesses were again throwing out t-shirts to all the runners
- Folks were offering cups of ice, fruit drinks …and beer along the course
- Slapping at least 100 random hands as people stuck them out in support
- Cheering wheelchair patients in front of the hospital
- Radio station booths tossing out swag and screaming over the microphone
- Drunk college kids, and twenty-somethings, partying and cheering along the course
- Talking to people whom this was their first Peachtree
- Shoots, talking to people whom this was their first 10K!
…and so much more.
I saw old running friends (as old as two years of serious running can make a friend), and made a couple of new ones. The t-shirts were awesome {see design below}…
…and even on only about 2.5 hours of sleep, I am so glad that I dragged myself out of bed and made my way down to Lenox along with 55,000 other eager and excited runners.
I crossed the finish line in 53:21 (53:07 chip time) which is rather slow for me at this stage in my training and development, but who cares? I had a fun, kick-ass run.
Also, quickly, to whomever that was that yelled out my GUTS, and RunnersWorld, forum name "surftrip", about a 1/4 mile from the finish, what the heck happened to you? I slowed up and looked around for you and you simply disappeared. {sigh} …but that tends to happen in a sea of runners.
How about you? Please share your Peachtree Road Race experiences in the comments below.
Back to the ultra training…

What a great race – great to see you loving this. Listen – where do you get your blog template from? REally really like it ..
I can identify. I skipped the 2007 race after moving further out. But really missed running it. So this year was back. Good times.
You're one of the few that liked the new finish. But I did too.
Good run and good report.
The race is quite an experience, the crowd helping move you along the entire time! Glad you decided to run it again!
Makes you appreciate more the lower turnout and open trails during an ultra…
Somewhere I expected you to say running a 10K is good "crossfit" ultra training. Even though you say it was rather slow, it's still much speedier than you'll be managing at Sawtooth!

25 October 2012
Talking to agricultural students about how to protect our water environment.
In October and November, students from three agricultural colleges in the Midlands will be taking part in the 'Great Farm Challenge 2012'. Students will learn how to use better farm management to protect our water environment, and will be challenged to a competition to showcase their ideas for achieving this. The Great Farm Challenge is being run by The Environment Agency, Natural England and Severn Trent Water.
Raising awareness of how farmers can help safeguard our drinking water is really important as even small amounts of pesticides or fertilisers escaping into the environment can harm aquatic life, and mean that more treatment is required to make water drinkable.
Students will spend a day hearing from farming advisors and will learn about the Catchment Sensitive Farming initiative, which offers practical advice to farmers on how to reduce water pollution from agricultural activities. They will tour a local farm to assess how current farming practices might impact on the water environment, and will be challenged to produce a plan showing how risk to rivers and groundwater can be minimised.
Agricultural students from the three colleges - Warwickshire College, Rodbaston College (Staffordshire) and Walford & North Shropshire College - are taking part in The Great Farm Challenge. The students who produce the best plans will be invited to present their ideas at a day hosted by Severn Trent Water in December. The winning group will win £300 of gift vouchers.
Catchment Sensitive Farming is a joint initiative between Natural England and the Environment Agency, funded by Defra and the Rural Development Programme for England, working in priority river catchments within England. The project is part of the national response to meet the requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive and contributes towards achieving Natura 2000 objectives.
Geoff Sansome, Natural England's Director for Land Management (South) said: "The Catchment Sensitive Farming project is an excellent example of what can be achieved through partnership working with the farming sector, and it's a project that is not only helping to protect the environment but is also boosting farm businesses. It's great to have the opportunity to share this valuable work with the next generation of farmers through the Great Farm Challenge."
Caroline Savage, Drinking Water Project Manager for the Environment Agency said: "Our waterways are hugely important to the economy, society, and the environment. The Environment Agency's role is to provide a clean, healthy water environment, and farmers play a vital part in achieving this. We are delighted to be helping the land managers of tomorrow develop practices that will protect this precious resource."
Jodie Whitehead, Catchment Management Planner for Severn Trent Water, explains: "This is a great education project for young farmers. Our job at Severn Trent is to make sure that the water we deliver to our customers is clean and drinkable, and farm run-off can mean that water needs a greater level of treatment. This project really helps the students understand the importance of managing what they put on the land."

If you need help using this site, visit the Help page to learn how to use the features of this website.
Welcome to the future of education, a social media site where elementary, middle and high school students are hands-on as they learn and develop new abilities and interest in learning, and where even the youngest of children are incentivized to participate with their parents. If you do nothing else, click on the gold-colored News and Blog tab at the top of this site. The articles there are submitted to this business plan site from parents and other volunteers working for the launch of the pre-k-12 Website, temporarily referred to as GMnavy.go. The purpose of GMnavy.go is to ramp up the productivity of secondary education. Critically important, micro and macro results will be measureable via dozens of current and time-honored metrics.
Although a Fortune 100's initial reflex to becoming the site's national SPONSOR/enhancer of pre-k-12 education may be Why?, advantage to the bottom line may be profound.
To determine for yourself the strength of these four bullet points, read our business plan.
Clicking on the business plan link will take you to the Master Index. Once there, simply clicking on the first topic, Welcome to GMnavy.go will bring you back to this page. Instead, continue down the Master Index to other topics. To access the topics not highlighted, you may contact Vernon Baker at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Remember, as parents across the U.S. can explain, the pre-k-12 GMnavy.go site is not just another "education" site. Everyone, it seems, has one of those, and yet the nation's pre-k-12 results on the so-called "Nation's Report Card," PISA, etc. remain dismal.
For more about the value of the pre-k-12 social networking site, click on the gold News & Blog tab at the top of the page.
Also keep in mind that as a marketing tool, "paid ads" in a venue such as Facebook may be a poor use of marketing dollars, as General Motors found. (As noted in this business plan, ads per se will not be permitted in the pre-k-12 site.)
Finally, this site is merely the business plan for the future site by whatever name, whether GMnavy.go, HSeverywhere.com or a URL that includes Coke, Apple, your company's name or that of your competitor.
Clicking on this link will take you to the Master Index. At the index, click on any of the highlighted topics, but if you click on Welcome to GMnavy.go, sorry, you will simply come back to this page. For a quick overview, click Prologue. To learn how to use this site, click the Help topic. Or scroll to the bottom of the Master Index to the Storyboards. The depth of this plan—primarily the non-highlighted links—offers a precise and immediate path to recast the productivity of our nation's vast pre-k-12 human capital resource.
Please email Vernon Baker at email@example.com if you have a contact at a Fortune 100 company (or a government entity) that you feel should have interest in helping sponsor this project. Or probably more effective, perhaps invite the company to review this business plan.
Don't be concerned if you feel that young people and parents currently have no particular loyalty to the Fortune 100 company you have in mind; that will change as the process described in this site becomes the differentiator.

1/2cup unsalted butter
3 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Orange-Marshmallow Filling (see Download for recipe)
1 (14-ounce) package orange candy melts*
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
Garnish: 1 square chocolate-flavored candy coating, melted
• Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly butter and flour a jelly-roll pan. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In a large bowl and using an electric mixer at medium-high speed, combine the sugar and eggs, and beat until fluffy. Gradually beat in the flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Add the chocolate-butter mixture, and stir until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Using a 2-inch round cutter, cut brownies into rounds. Freeze for 2 hours.
• Spread half of the brownie rounds with 1 teaspoon Orange-Marshmallow Filling. Top with remaining brownie rounds. Freeze for 2 hours.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the candy melts and shortening. Microwave on High (100 percent power) in 30-second intervals until melted (approximately 1 1/2minutes total), stirring between intervals. Using a skewer, dip each brownie sandwich in the melted candy coating, covering completely. Place on cooling rack set over a layer of waxed paper. Let dry slightly, then repeat process.
• For garnish, place melted chocolate in a pastry bag fitted with a very small round tip, and decorate, if desired.
*For testing purposes, we used Wilton Orange Candy Melts, which can be purchased at cake decorating supply stores, craft stores, or online at wilton.com.
Editor's Note: For a festive, elegant look, garnish cakes with fresh currants and kumquat halves.

Learn The Basics Of Proper Nutrition with Green Living Now
Whether you are a dancer, fighter, manager or janitor, you are going to have to eat healthy in order to live a long life. There's no doubt that eating terrible foods will lessen your chance to have a full and happy life. One thing that we advocate is healthy living, green lifestyle, and eating natural and organic foods. Ensure you get at least 8 ounces of protein each day. Also be sure to grow your own fruits and vegetables and make healthy smoothies. Be sure to read our articles about how to grow your own home-grown ingredients and also make sure you buy an excellent blender for your kitchen that is environmentally friendly. That doesn't mean you eat meat, it means you eat protein which can even come from beans. You can keep up with your protein and iron this way.
Try having oatmeal for breakfast in order to put you on the right course for the day. Remember that breakfast is in fact the most important meal that your body will eat all day and that having a lot of protein early will make sure you have a great long life. Since they are whole grains, you will feel full longer if you eat oatmeal. When planning your diet, always remember breakfast. Breakfast really is the most critical meal, because it jump starts your metabolism and floods your body with needed nutrients after hours of not eating. Again, no carbs and try to have lean proteins and one thing that will work is making breakfast burritos with egg whites and lots of yummy vegetables inside it.
People who study nutrition for a living often choose to avoid processed grains. Getting rid of the outer casing of these types of grains is getting rid of its nutritional content. To make up for this, most people buy supplements or whole wheat products. It is not logical at all.
One way to improve the nutritional content of your diet is to make use of artificial sweeteners in place of refined sugar. A high-sugar diet leads to a lot of potentially-serious health risks, including heart disease and diabetes. These are all bad-news situations for any human being so be sure to not intake a lot of sugar. If you do make sure it's in low doses. Again, if you are going to have it, try to have it early for breakfast, and not late in the evening. Examples of artificial substitutes include Stevia and Splenda. You probably won't even taste the difference.
Try new and trendy recipes if you are planning on engaging in a new diet. Make your own granola protein bars with common ingredients like organic peanut butter and protein powder. Oatmeal pancakes is another healthy recipe that is easy to make.
Two things linked to nutrition are overall health and wellness. This is why there has been a surplus of supplements and food fascination. Remember what you have read here when you go shopping so that you can choose the healthiest foods. Embrace a healthy lifestyle, life green, life great.read more
