- Great Local SpotOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/29/2014Good restaurants are hard to find in Oceanside, but just down the road in Carlsbad is Bistro West. It's not cheap, but it has good food, an upscale but casual dining room, a well stocked bar that I cannot comment on, and a varied menu. You can get a pizza or a burger or go for one of the pricier item, like a $27 steak, if you want an upscale meal, and the food is good. It's just the right combination of casual but tasteful. The manager came to our table to make sure we were satisfied with our experience. We were.Special Features:
- Disappointedkm0628VIPDined on 10/18/2014This is the 2nd time we've been to the Bistro and will be our last. We absolutely love West's main steakhouse across the parking lot and its amazing that the quality of experience can be so different less than 200 feet apart from one another. The cocktail list is out of date and the drinks as they are described are not how they are served- missing ingredients. The food is decent tasting but the servers know nothing and ours imparticular didnt have a moment to spare before rushing us through our order (after making us wait 15-20 mins after initially sitting down and attempting to order cocktails. West Steak and Seafood is the way to go - the bistro isn't worth the $5-$10 less a dish you'd pay to compromise 100% on service and ambiance.
- Enjoy a good meal here - anytimeSusan1484VIPDined on 10/16/2014Always love to come back for a meal here, but beware the menu has/is changing for the salad selections. No longer half portions for some of the favorite salads, the seared ahi, cobb, etc. Menu changes are in the works. Food is always decent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice restaurant, good for date.foodie4lifeDined on 10/12/2014Good food and nice ambiance makes this restaurant a good place to out on a date.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delightful Fresh FoodTheMermaidDined on 10/12/2014Met friends for lunch on a recommendation. None of us had been here before. Great service, ambiance, and food. We all had different salads, including one off the gluten-free menu. A farm-to-table restaurant, it was so tasty, and well presented. The portions seemed to vary, though. I had a generous salad, and didn't need more. My husband wondered where the olives and anchovies were in his Greek salad. There was one anchovy and just a couple of olives. The Chinese chicken salad was huge and got polished off, so I think it was very tasty as well. The staff was attentive and responsive. Building is airy and very clean, while being warm and inviting. All in all, we will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great Ambience but food was OKPapergirlDined on 10/10/2014Their appetizers are wonderful...we had the ahi and it was great. Our food, not so much. Very over-salted. My steak salad was served on a large piece of pita which was strange. Husband's burger was not bad but stroganoff was just good.Special Features:
- Great foodOceanloverDined on 10/9/2014The staff is great..the food is great..the ambiance is great!! We've had several things on the menu and we have never been disappointed. Casual, quality dining! If you're looking for quiet and romantic, this isn't it. There are tv's showing sports in the dining room and it can get pretty loud but everything else makes up for it. If you want romance, West Steakhouse next door is perfect!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceNorthCountyCoastalDined on 10/6/2014Bistro West is always a great place to dine. Excellent food, excellent service - thanks Reggie!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Avoid the pasta disheslocalresidentDined on 10/3/2014I had been to the Bistro West for a group lunch in the past and really enjoyed it. However, my recent dinner experience was disappointing. I ordered the West Farm Ravioli. It was dry and tough and was not prepared fresh. We did order the recommended calamari appetizer. It was very good and my husband ordered the fish special of the day (hawaiian bass) and he enjoyed it. The service was very good. When we first arrived the music was rather loud but was turned down upon my request. I am not usually a picky person, so the food has to be pretty bad for me to give this a poor review. I should have said something but did not want to spoil the evening for the others at my table. Avoid the pasta dishes.
- Not our first visit & not our last!luv3dineDined on 9/28/2014Bistro West has a very good menu with lots of choices. The mushroom ravioli with scallops was wonderful. My husband is a fan of meatloaf and he loves the meatloaf here. If you're having dessert, try the bread pudding -- it's outstanding! The service was very good. Eat here once and you'll want to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional bistroOpenTable Diner Since 2014VIPDined on 9/22/2014The staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating. The food is excellent and there is something for everyone on the menu. I absolutely love that they use fresh produce grown in their very own garden!Special Features:

- Great food!JesseDined on 9/16/2014The service was very good. The food was delicious! Our waiter suggested the daily special and we couldn't be more pleased. Two girls getting together for lunch. And the wait staff didn't make us feel rushed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bistro West is WonderfulmargaretrubinsteinDined on 9/14/2014I always love this restaurant. We have grown to expect good service and great food, and we were not disappointed ! Our waitress was well-informed and friendly, without being overly familiar. We tried a few new items on the menu, like the breuschetta. It was fabulous!Special Features:

- Staff were friendly and helpfulLvu2tasteDined on 9/11/2014We were greeted as soon as we arrived and quickly escorted to our table the server went over the specials and made recommendations. The noise was low with music playing in the background which made it easy to talk.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Open Table ReservationAdrianDined on 9/5/2014Using Open Table to make our reservation was fantastic.....quick and easy. I used OT to make a reservation at a restaurant 3000k away (NJ) about a year ago and it worked perfectly. I was hooked on online booking from that point on and will use it whenever possible.Special Features:
- DisappointingEatsoutalotDined on 9/4/2014On the plus side, they offer a gluten free menu. However our filet mignon had not been allowed to come to room temp before being cooked and therefore they were ice cold in the middle. Yuk. Beet salad was lovely but the pastas (both gluten free and regular) were odd tasting and failrly unpleasant. Cocktails are hit and miss too. This restaurant has a long way to go to live up to its hype. Farm to table is great but only if the food does not get mangled in the kitchen.Special Features:
- We were wowedseniorsinloveDined on 9/3/2014My wife and I frequent restaurants on a regular basis. The waiter was outstanding. He was both personable and professional. Made great suggestions. Even the gentleman that brought the water had a great personality. The food was of a quality that is rare in this day and age. My wife and I will remember this experience for a long time. Looking forward to the next visit. Great job!!!!!!Special Features:
- TastyEasyeatingDined on 9/2/2014Who knew this place would be so good. Random location, but excellent fare. My wife and I ate here last year as well (while passing through Carlsbad), and the quality has held up. Highly recommend it.Special Features:

- Great internet find!marlenejoDined on 8/28/2014I enjoyed my first visit to this restaurant (once I found it - it can be confused with its neighbor, of a similar name, across the parking lot). The food and service were quite good, and the beautiful decor and changing color light fixture held my attention during my visit. There is a great presentation of the "wine cellar", which is impressive, and the Riesling I had was very good. Overall, a pleasant dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DelishCantwait2dineDined on 8/24/2014Love, Love Bistro West, every time my husband and I are in town we eat here and it is flawlessly delicious every time !!! Love the Sole a must try .. and the farm fresh chefs selection raviolis , were amazing.. With fava bean asparagus , fresh green peas,pancetta .. so YUMMY>>> cant wait for our next dining experience . Service is spot on, great wait staff and front desk... A true Gem....Special Features:
- Want inconsistent dinning?dine4enjoymentDined on 8/23/2014My wife and I have come to West Bistro on and off for over 2 years. We find the service to be great, but the food is very inconsistent. Our last dinning experience was the worst I've had in years. Once again service was great, food was terrible. When told about the food being bad the management took the meal off my bill, but that's not the issue. If you want appetizers or finger food or pizza you can pretty much expect some consistency. It's the entries that just don't measure up on a regular basis.Special Features:
- Great food and service.boulderVIPDined on 8/23/2014A great place for a casual meal. Great vibe, great wine list and excellent service.Special Features:
- lovelylaceyDined on 8/22/2014so good, as usual. will continue to eat there. I hate that I always overeat
- Terrific Gumbo! Family FriendlySilviaDined on 8/15/2014Took our two young grandchildren (6 and 3). Very family friendly. Everyone was very friendly with them. I had the short ribs (yummy but a little dry) and husband had Gumbo which was fantastic. Service very good. Kids had sliders (little overdone) and chicken tenders OK. We spend one week a yr at Carlsbad and this is always on our list.Special Features:
- Bistro West DisappointsSDfoodloverVIPDined on 8/15/2014This visit to Bistro West was disappointing. Instructions provided regarding an entrée were not followed, the food seemed a bit pedestrian, like just another plate out of hundreds, and the server was a bit over the top in energy. We were disappointed enough that we will probably seek another dining spot next time we meet our friends.
- aregtimVIPDined on 8/14/2014Three people. Two horrible meals, one, chicken, OK. Never returning.
- Plano momplanomomDined on 8/13/2014This is a farm to table restaurant. Everything was really good, service was great. Had a lot of things on the menu so there was something for everyone. Prices were reasonable.Special Features:
- Ahi sashimi is greatAnneDDined on 8/12/2014We just had a few apps - all excellent: bruschetta (a twist ont he usual), a pan pizza (thin focaccia with arugula and prosciutto and a melted cheese fondue to add), ahi sashimi with a mango salsa. Lisa was a ver good server. Kitchen was slow onone item, but the service was so good we hardly noticed. Refills came without asking. And it's a good meting place for work when I'm in SD and others are coming from the OC.Special Features:
- Very tasty burgersTastyiiDined on 8/10/2014Best bison burgers we had in 2014 . We discovered the place unfortunately the last night before leaving town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Maybe the Steakhouse is better.dalfornoamaroneDined on 8/8/2014Nice people, good service but the food was average at best. NY Steak was tough, gnocchi bland. Pizza was described as neopolitan-like and actually it was. really good. Bread pudding was also really good. Some good, some not so good. Atmoshphere was a bit 2nd rate Vegas buffet room atmosphere, but again, the staff was the star of the show.Special Features:

On Saturday 21st June to Sunday the 22nd, the British Heart Foundation's annual London to Brighton trek takes place. The event is a testing 64 mile trek across various terrain from London's Sandown Park Racecourse, to Brighton Racecourse. Over the course of 30 hours, participants will walk through the day and night to complete the challenge. The event takes place in order to raise money for those suffering heart problems. Each year, the money raised goes towards such causes and over the past few decades survival rates have increased dramatically with the introduction of new technologies thanks to the funding the BHF receives. In 1961, children born with a heart defect had only a 20% chance of surviving their first birthday, today it's 80%.
The trek is approximately 64 miles or 105km, with 1026m of climbing. The route is challenging and pushes participants to new levels when night falls as they have to continue to navigate the route with limited lighting and cooler temperatures. The first 20 miles of the route is relatively flat with some steady inclines between 20 and 30 miles into the route. Between the 30 and 45 mile mark, there is a steady decline and onto flat ground to take walkers to the 50 mile point. At 50 miles participants will experience the largest incline at approximately 150m in 1 mile. This is followed by a 5 mile coastal walk to view the scenery and promenade at Hove and Brighton and to complete the trek there's another large incline to the finish line.
The BHF have supplied a detailed training plan for those taking part which sets out training routines for each week in the build up to the event. There is lots of advice regarding equipment and food/water supplies that walkers should have during the event. Participants are advised to have support drivers who can pick them up if they drop out or meet them at checkpoints for extra supplies. Each checkpoint will have water supplies and some have snacks or shops to stock up on food. At the halfway point hikers will be given a hot meal and along the way there will be various places to use the toilets. In the route maps supplied by the BHF walkers are advised what time they need to leave each checkpoint by in order to complete the walk in the recommended time. Walkers should finish the event by 2pm on the Sunday.
Although walking is an every day activity for many people, intense walks or hikes require a good amount of training and use of correct equipment. Finding the right pair of walking boots is key to success and other equipment such as waterproofs, layers and rucksacks should be used to enhance performance and ensure comfort during such hikes. More information can be found on the BHF website and although entries for this years trek have now closed, next years event should open shortly for people to sign up.

As people age they will lose muscle and bone mass and are at risk of developing problems such as back pain, osteoarthritis or osteoporosis. The rate of muscle loss can be slowed down by regular exercise, something many older people stop doing as they age. Regular exercise can also increase balance and mobility thus reducing the risk of accidents related to balance within older people. Various research shows that gentle exercise can improve health, contrary to older beliefs that only vigorous exercise could improve a persons health and fitness levels. As people age, they naturally become less able and athletic, but by no means should this stop people from continuing with regular exercise. Here FieldandTrek.com takes a look at how to stay fit as an older person and the health benefits of doing so.
The longer a person stays inactive for, the more problems they are at risk of developing. Joints may seize up and muscle will slowly deteriorate, making a person more unable and less mobile as time goes on. Being active as an older person doesn't necessarily mean joining a gym or taking up a sport, it can be as simple as everyday tasks such as pottering in the garden, gentle bending to deweed or a walk around the garden watering plants offers a short burst of activity that will benefit an older person. Washing the car or taking a short walk around nearby lanes is an easy way to get the heart pumping a little faster and to use muscles that don't get used as often as they used to.
For those with conditions such as high blood pressure, exercises such as swimming can be a gentle way of lowering blood pressure and improving overall stress levels and mood. There are four main things in which exercise can benefit for an older person, these include stamina, being able to walk longer distance or exercise for longer. Strength, carrying shopping, walking up and down stairs, opening things such as stiff jars. Flexibility to help bend when getting dressed or picking up things and balance to help walking and climbing stairs or avoiding falls. These vital abilities are easy to maintain if a person is fit enough. As mentioned previously as you age gentle exercise will help with every day tasks and there is no need to take up vigorous exercise as this will more than likely cause more damage than good.
Staying fit and healthy is important at any age, and especially as a person starts to become less able at everyday tasks. It is advised to seek medical attention prior to taking up a new form of exercise to ensure there are no precautions that need to be taken. There is a great range of exercise equipment and accessories available to use around the house on a daily basis in order to maintain a regular exercise regime, such as small stress balls ideal for arthritis sufferers.

Walking is an everyday activity for most people and requires little thought or effort, unlike other forms of exercise. According to Britain's most comprehensive survey of sport, 22% of the population walk recreationally for at least 30 minutes every month. Walking is a fantastic way for people of all ages to keep fit and healthy and get outdoors.
The 26th April marks the start of the Bristol Walking Festival, held for one month until 26th May. The festival is an opportunity for walkers to explore the city and get fit outdoors. There will be over 150 different walks to choose from across the 30 day event thanks to over 70 organisations and individuals involved in making the event possible.
Some of the routes throughout the walking festival are themed and will be educational to those taking part. Each route is a chance to explore different parts of the city, showcasing some interesting and educational landmarks throughout. A few walks available are Medieval Bristol, Avon Gorge Birding Walk, Foraging Edible Foods, Butterfly Spotting on the Downs, Night Walk, Bristol Onions and Gorgeous Goats and Bristol in Books, to name just a few.
Not only does the festival give walkers from the local area and across the country the chance to explore the hidden corners of Bristol and learn about the history and heritage of the city, it is a fantastic excuse to get some fresh air and exercise. With many of the walks averaging between 1-5 miles, although there are much longer walks, each route is graded 1-4 depending on its intensity, so walkers can choose which route they feel they are capable of completing. Walking is a great way to lose weight and stay fit, it helps keep bones and joints flexible and boosts the immune system which in turn helps reduce the risk of serious illness. The event is a great way of meeting new people and each walk will have its own walking leader to guide the group around the city.
As there are many walks to take part in, with a variety of intensity and challenges walkers should prepare for the event by walking short distances and building up to the number of miles they plan to accomplish in the event, to ensure they are fit enough on the day. For the longer and more challenging walks especially, it is advised that walkers wear appropriate footwear and clothing. This can be weather dependant so layers and waterproofs are a good idea. Trail shoes or walking boots are ideal footwear as they are designed for different types of terrain and offer the correct support to the walker.
To take part in any of the events you can find out more information on each route and the starting places and times through Bristol City Council. The festival is a free event, however some walks require a participation fee as they involve a guided tour or activity.

Each year there is an abundance of charity walks and events that take place up and down the country in hope to raise money and awareness for specific causes, and they are growing in number per annum. A report conducted by JustGiving and ACTIVE Network last year revealed that event fundraising had increased by 8% in 2012 and since 2007 the amount of participants had doubled.
According to the report, the events that raise the most money are treks, triathlons, cycles, parachute events, swims, runs and walks. Some of those activities, such as parachuting or taking part in a triathlon or a cycling event, require a certain skill, fitness or braveness, where as charity walk is something that is more accessible, to most.
Many different charities such as the Rotary Foundation, Cancer Research, Red Cross and the British Heart Foundation, to name just a few, all put on charity walks varying in distances from one mile to twenty six, meaning that people can choose a route that suits them.
The majority of people who participate in charity walks are not experienced walkers and so although walking may not be as challenging or strenuous as cycling or running, it is still important to train prior to the event. The amount of preparation beforehand generally depends on the distance of the walk, for example people who are hoping to take part in a half marathon should begin planning two months or so before the walk, where as people opting for a full marathon should look at beginning training six months before.
Having the correct footwear and clothing is also important. Walking shoes or running trainers are advisable as they offer ventilation, comfort and support, it is also best to bed them in during training sessions so as not to be suffering with blisters around the course. Walkers are also advised to layer up with breathable t-shirts followed by fleeces, hoodies or jackets that are lightweight and easy to tie round the waist or stuff into a backpack.
Walkers should also ensure to keep hydrated throughout, so a large water bottle or even an hydration pack, depending on the length of the walk, is a necessity. It is also advised to drink plenty of water beforehand.

GPS's and navigation systems are undoubtedly very useful, not only for everyday life, but also for scientific advancements and tracking. With this in mind there are therefore many reasons why we love GPS's,
FieldandTrek.com take a look at some of their special features.
With scientists using them to determine the size of an earthquake and biologists using them to track animals through migrations the navigation system has come a long way since it was first used as part of a project of the U.S. military in 1978. Now, they are part of everyday life with people all over the World using them in cars and on foot to help plan and direct their route.
There are a wide range of GPS's available on the market that all have various qualities and specialist features to help make life easier. An increasing amount of walkers are now using GPS's, and although some people speculate that this will stop people from learning key compass and map reading skills, when used appropriately they can be very useful and contrary to popular belief, they still require navigation skills.
The Garmin GPSMAP 62s is ideal for serious adventurers. Featuring a durable and waterproof shell, this GPS boasts a 3-axis tilt-compensated compass to ensure precision, coupled with a built-in worldwide basemap with plenty of memory to store 200 maps. This navigation system also benefits from area calculation, sun and moon information, photo navigation and automatic routing.
Suitable for casual walkers and adventurers, the Memory Map Adventurer 2800 comes with a 2GB micro SD card with pre-loaded Ordnance Survey® Land Ranger® maps of selected British National Parks. This GPS also benefits from Memory-Map PC software for route planning and map printing.
Geocaching is the perfect family activity and for families that are new to the new-age treasure hunting then the Garmin eTrex 10 Geocaching Bundle is ideal. The device is waterproof and has a battery life of up to 25hours, coupled with a Worldwide basemap and sensitive GPS receiver with HotFix and GLONASS support. The kit comes with all the necessities to ensure that the geocaching adventure can start straight away.

Recent reports from the Mountaineering Council of Scotland have announced that wearing cotton clothing poses serious risks to suffering from hypothermia when out trekking in the winter. With this in mind, Fieldandtrek.com take a look at what mountaineers, expeditionists and serious walkers should wear during the bitter months.
The main reason why cotton is not a suitable fabric for winter activities is because as soon as it begins to rain, snow or gets a little wet, its insulation properties no longer exist, causing the skin to cool down very quickly. This in turn could cause hypothermia.
When out walking in harsh weather conditions it is vital to be prepared and wear the correct clothing. Many waterproof and breathable items are constructed from modern polymers and laminated with a polymer membrane called polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) and polyurethane, so always check before purchasing waterproofs that they are constructed with these materials. When it comes to waterproofing and fabric being breathable it is also best to look out for jackets and trousers with eVent® or GORE-TEX® properties as they work to wick away any moisture.
In terms of insulation, microfleeces are much more insulated than a normal fleece, which is crucial when out in the snow or facing tough conditions. Down fabric, whether it's goose or duck, is also desirable as it aims to retain both warm air and cold to ensure a comfortable temperature.
On a whole, synthetic materials are lightweight, strong and durable which is everything that is required from outdoor clothing. However, nylon is not the best option when it comes to protection in the outdoors. Although it is lightweight, tough and keeps water from seeping through, it also doesn't allow any moisture to escape. Therefore, any sweat that builds up on the inside will stay there which won't be very comfortable.
Wearing waterproof, breathable and well insulated clothing may seem like common sense, but sometimes it can be overlooked and wearing the wrong materials could pose serious health risks.

Valentines Day is just around the corner and with shops and online stores bursting with gift ideas, FieldandTrek.com take a look at a more subtle way to share the love this month – a romantic walk.
Many people spend a fortune on presents, cards and going out for meals on Valentines Day, but going for an idyllic walk promises just as much romance as any of the above. Rather than being crammed into a busy restaurant, a peaceful walk somewhere in the dales, for example, offers a more intimate and cherished atmosphere.
Bath is well known for its beauty and iconic history, including the Roman Baths, and offers stunning walks, both planned and unplanned. The Cotswold Way National Trail offers over 100 miles of stunning scenery with journeys through small villages and famous historic sites to choose from.
The Malvern Hills divide the counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire and at their high points offer picturesque views for miles. Worcestershire is also home to the UK's best-known rivers; the Severn and Avon, a gentle stroll along the Severn Valley will see the Holt Castle and Church as well as the beautiful countryside.
A trip to Dorset to walk along Durdle Door or White Nothe will provide an abundance of romance thanks to the coastal views and arches carved by the sea. If the weather is okay then a walk along the beach or through the coves would be a real treat.
For people who love nature as much as they do their partner then the Bodnant Gardens in north Wales is perfect. Owned by the National Trust, the gardens boasts stiles, kissing gates and wooden gates along the path which are perfect for stopping and admiring the views.
North Yorkshire is home to some breath-taking sights, and the Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal offer just that. The Abbey and Water Garden estates boast a tranquil and romantic setting thanks to the ponds, statues and temples as well as the river from the Abbey.
Visit FieldandTrek.com and get kitted out for a day of walking filled with love and tranquility. Make sure you're always in the know and keep-up-to-date with their blog.
There are many benefits to using walking poles. Walking poles provide better balance, help you establish a rhythm, decrease stress on the legs as well as making difficult walking patches easier and safer.
There are four types of walking poles. Anti-shock walking poles feature internal springs to absorb walking shock. Standard poles are simple poles that are cheaper and lighter. Compact poles can be used by children as they are shorter and have smaller grips. The compact poles can also be packed easier. Nordic poles are used for full body workout walking.
There are two main types of material used to make walking poles, these are aluminium and carbon fibre. Aluminium walking poles are generally stronger and more economical, but they are heavier. Carbon fibre walking poles are lighter and more expensive. However, they can break and splinter due to stress.
It's important that you are able to change the poles to fit your height and the terrain. In order to change the height of the poles, you need to use the locking systems. The two main types of locking mechanisms are screw and lever locks. The screw locks work by twisting the pole to tighten the adjuster. The lever locks have small levers that clamp against the poles.
With three types of grips, there are different shapes and feels of pole grips to suit you. There are cork, foam and rubber pole grips available. Rubber grips insulate from cold, shock and vibrations during cold-weather activities, however they can cause chaffing and blistering if you are walking in warm weather. Foam grips absorbs moisture. The cork grips resist moisture, decreases vibration and conforms to your grip.
Other features to consider when choosing a walking, hiking or trekking pole is the price, wrist straps, baskets and pole tips.

· Walking is an ideal form of cardio-vascular exercise for pregnant women. You can get fresh air and keep yourself fit. Exercise during pregnancy can also result in fewer pregnancy complaints and less weight gain.
· During pregnancy, feet and ankles can swell which means you may need to get bigger walking shoe sizes so the walking shoes can provide support to the arches of the feet and ankles. The hormones during pregnancy can cause a relaxing in ligaments which can result in foot strain, you should consult a doctor should this occur.
· If you exercised before you were pregnant, you can do moderate exercise for a maximum of 30 minutes four times a week, according to the NHS. However, if you weren't active before the pregnancy, the NHS advises to do light exercise for 15 minutes three times a week.
· Due to the pregnancy, your centre of gravity has shifted, therefore walk slowly to begin with.
· Ensure you have good posture to prevent backache while you walk by standing straight, keeping your eyes forward, suck in your stomach and keeping your chin parallel to the ground.
· The main risk with hiking or walking comes from falls. Beginner trails are ideal for experienced hikers in early pregnancy. Local parks also have walking trails.
· You should stop walking if you experience dizziness, headaches, shortness of breath, pain or bleeding.
· It is very important to never push your body to the point of exhaustion. If you start to feel tired, stop walking.
· Remember that weather can affect pregnant mothers more so ensure you are dressed appropriately for the weather. If the weather is too warm or too cold, consider going to a shopping centre to walk around.
· To avoid the altitude sickness, a pregnant mother should not walk at heights over 2,500m above sea level until you have become acclimatised.
· It is important during exercise that a pregnant mother stays hydrated.
· If there are pregnancy complications ranging from high blood pressure to preterm labour, you shouldn't go walking.

Phllip Livas provided spark in the return game. The 5'7″ and 179 pound rookie WR out of Louisiana Tech was quick and agile and was not afraid to make contact — he didn't run out of bounds like someone I remember. He returned a punt for a 75 yard TD. I hope that he gets to handle most of the kicks in the next game to see more of his stuff.
A.J. Edds had a good game at ILB. After missing rookie season last year due to an injury, Edds produced six tackles and one sack. He mostly played on the second team defense, but A.J. appears to have a bright future. I hope he gets some time with the first team defense along side of Dansby. The Phins could use the help.
Jimmy Wilson had a good game at DB. The 5'11" and 185 pound rookie out of Montana seemed to be all over the field with some highlight hits. He had four tackles and one sack largely playing on the third team defense. I hope he gets some time with the first team defense at safety. The Phins could really use the help there.
Matt Moore had a good game at QB. However, I don't think we have a QB controversy — not yet. Moore played well with respectable numbers — 11 out of 18 for 123 yards (61.8%) with 2 TDs and 1 INT. Mostly, he was running for his life because of poor OL play. But, he threw the ball downfield putting his WRs in good position to make good YACs. He brought the team back for the victory.
First team ILBs could not make any plays to stop the Falcons running game on their second drive. They did not fill the holes opened up in the DL. FA acquisition Kevin Burnett had no tackles and Dansby only had two. I hope this was just an indication that Dansby and Burnett need some time to develop some chemistry.
First team DBs could not make any plays to stop the Falcons passing attack on their second drive. I saw Vonte Davis on several plays lazily jogging after WRs who were making YACs. The Falcons gained a lot of YACs. I hope Mike Nolan lights a fire under some of their butts.
Chad Henne was, well, he was the same old Chad Henne. Out of his first four passes, he completed one to a Dolphin and two to Falcons. Many analysts say that the first INT was not his fault — Fasano should have caught the ball. I did not see it that way. It was typical Henne not properly leading his receiver — there was space and a passing lane to do so. I noted that, out of almost all of his eight passing attempts, Henne was fixed on the primarly target — he twittered the defense where he was going with the ball — typical Henne. On his second interception, he was fixed on Bess from the snap of the ball. Bess was double covered, while Wallace on the other side of the field was in single coverage. I really wonder if Henne will ever learn how to properly lead receivers and consistently look off coverage.
All Offensive Lineman played awful — seemed like none of them were noteworthy of positive play. Tony Sparano, the supposed guru of the offensive line, has put together another group of guys that cannot open any holes for the RBs. I felt sorry for all the Dolphin RBs who literally had nowhere to run. I wrote many articles during the NFL Draft about the Dolphins taking a left guard like Moffitt or even Boren. Or, the Dolphins need to go out and acquire a top notch FA. But, no! Sparano chose to get tackles — a Cowboy retread and an often injured Seahawk. Believe it or not, the only guard the Dolphins acquired was a UFAR who they immediately put on the PUP list because of offseason surgery. I just don't understand why Jeff Ireland doesn't go out and get a top notch guard. We have needed one for years. Let's hope that Jake Long comes off the PUP list in a hurry to add some sense of leadership to the OL.
The first pre-season game raised more questions, than provided answers. The Dolphins have a lot of work to do. I sincerely hope they find some answers real quick. There are many tools in the box for the Dolphins to have a good season. I think all they need to find is decent QB play and dominating play at left guard.
What's your thoughts on the first game?

Fall 2014 Classes
Intro to the Fall 2014 Schedule
By early fall your adobe walls should be finished and protected by a roof so that you are ready to move on to plastering and installing an appropriate floor to finish your home before winter sets in. The two fall classes listed below - Interior and Exterior Plastering and Floors for Adobe Structures - will take you through this entire process step-by-step. By the end of the year you will have completed the last two steps in our adobe house construction sequence.
The third class listed below - Adobe Conservation and Preservation - is a special supplementary training class we are offering together with Pat Taylor. This class is geared towards professional builders, engineers and architects wanting to add adobe preservation to their services as well as non-professional owner/builders wishing to learn more about restoring an existing adobe structure. This is a blended format class which means that it is a mix of live and online instruction. The 5-day live instruction portion of the class will be held in La Mesa and Las Cruces, New Mexico at two ongoing adobe preservation projects. Pat will be covering a wide variety of adobe preservation topics via hands-on work and demos. The 4-week online component takes place directly before the 5-day live class and provides you with a thorough introduction to the most important theoretical topics of adobe conservation and preservation.
We look forward to working with you this fall!

Showcase the new team? Check.
Send the fans home happy? Check.
Beat LA? Done.
1-0. Glorious.
Opening Night has come and gone. But fear not, Opening Day is still to come. Redundant nomenclature aside, tonight was a victory for the Padres, both for the team and the organization.
For the organization, there was a record single-game crowd of 45,467 fans in attendance. There were throngs of happy, well-behaved fans buying up craft beer from Green Flash, Ballast Point, Stone, and other local breweries, coffee from Ryan Bros., gelato from Chocolat, ribs galore from Phil's BBQ, and other yummy goodies from a whole array of new carts and booths set up to dramatically increase the food and beverage selection and quality. I think the fine inhabitants of Petco Park decided they wanted to step up from having adequate ballpark food to having one of the most diverse selections in the major leagues, at the same time showcasing some of San Diego's finest food and drink. And I think they succeeded.
Pageantry? I'm sure there was some, but the parking situation was so bad that we missed it all. Getting downtown an hour before game time was not nearly early enough with a record number of attendees fighting for limited parking. Note to self: You need to buy parking passes ahead of time to park in the lots next to the stadium, and your usual spot 6-7 blocks away won't be there during sellouts.
That brings us to our raison d'etre. The baseball game. Padres v. Dodgers. Andrew Cashner v. Hyun-Jin Ryu. Chase Headley, Everth Cabrera, and Jedd Gyorko v. the $235 million payroll of the Dodger$. Can the Dodgers buy a World Series title this year? That's the question they're seemingly trying to answer. But they have a determined, talented Padres team that fully intends to prevent this from happening.
Exhibit 1: Andrew Cashner. The Padres talented staff ace started the game with strikeouts of Carl Crawford and last year's Dodger demi-god Yasiel Puig. A fly ball later, and Andrew Cashner is teaching young Padres fans to count. 1-2-3.
The Padres threatened early, with Everth Cabrera, with renewed determination to get on base every at-bat this year, working a leadoff walk. Chris Denorfia, my personal favorite Padre, followed with a single, and a bad throw landed Cabby and Deno on second and third with nobody out. But Dodger pitcher Ryu, selected to start Opening Night after Clayton Kershaw was a scratch early this week, showed just how good this Dodgers rotation is, striking out Chase Headley, and after a strategic walk, getting Yonder Alonso to hit into a double play.
The Pads threatened again in the second, with Tommy Medica and Will Venable starting the inning with two hits. Those were the last hits the team would get off of Ryu.
Cashner almost matched Ryu's effectiveness, but gave up a run in the fifth on an RBI single by Carl Crawford. That was the only mark against Cash in the game, and he finished his night after six innings, having allowed 4 hits, 2 walks, 1 earned run, and striking out 5. A fine start, indeed, but he left the game on the wrong end of a 1-0 score.
Ryu retired 18 hitters in a row after the two leadoff hits in the second, and left after 7, giving up only three hits and three walks while striking out 7. He has now given up 5 hits and no runs in 12 innings to start the year.
So, the crowd, which was pretty raucous early in the game, had now settled into that "damn, we're losing another pitchers' duel" funk that has been commonplace at Petco Park the last few years. The Padres needed a rally, at least a single baserunner, to get the fans back into the game.
Enter Brian Wilson's beard, attached to Brian Wilson. His first assignment, brand new Padre Seth Smith. The guys behind me, who had been asserting their superiority as baseball fans by criticizing the behavior of other fans throughout the game, had this conversation when Smith came to the plate:
East Coast Baseball Snob 1: Who's this guy? Where'd they get him from?
East Coast Baseball Snob 2: Seth Smith. Outfielder. Not much of a hitter, platoon guy. Not the best, probably the best the Padres could afford.
That was the sound of the game-tying home run Seth Smith hit exactly one second after Snob 2 finished talking.
I kinda loved that.
Brand new ballgame. 1-1, and the fans were back into it. Yasmani Grandal's walk and Everth Cabrera's bunt that Wilson bobbled put men on first and second, and then I saw something I'm not sure I've ever seen before: a catcher stealing third base in the eighth inning of a tie game. Chris Denorfia was showing bunt, and Dodger third baseman Juan Uribe charged in to prepare to make a play. But nobody covered third base, and Grandal took advantage of the mental error and stole his first career base. Smart baseball. Everth Cabrera decided to steal second base a pitch later, and took the base without a throw. Now there were men on second and third instead of first and second. Big difference! Chris Denorfia (did I mention he's my favorite Padre), on a full count pitch, drove a solid single into center field, and not one, but two Padres crossed the plate. 3-1 Friars. "Beat L.A.! Beat L.A!" chanted the crowd.
Oh, the fans. They danced. They traded high fives with their neighbors. They cheered, they shouted, they made merry. It was marvelous.
Last order of business – retire the final three Dodgers hitters. Huston Street, the sometimes-maligned Padres closer, came in and showed why he has been a major league closer for the last nine years. Andre Ethier? Easy grounder to third. Juan Uribe? Whiff. A.J. Ellis? Another easy groundout. Ballgame.
Fireworks, cheers, Padres win. Great showcase game on national TV for the organization. First place for the team. 162-0 still on the table.
Opening Night win. For the Padres and their fans, Monday morning will be just a little brighter.

Do you like Shaun of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, Paul, or Scott Pilgrim vs The World? If you answered yes to any of those fantastic films, you should be watching SPACED!!! This is the amazing show that Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright did before going on to make the films listed above; it was also co-created by Jessica Hynes and co-stars Nick Frost. The DVD has been out in the states for years, but, as of recently, SPACED is now on Netflix! It is a show about a group of nerds and misfits in their mid twenties trying to figure out what to do with their lives. such an AMAZING SHOW! ONE OF MY FAVORITES! WATCH SPACED!!! you will not regret it.

Genre: Erotic Romance
The second installment in the Matthews Sisters series will leave you eager for the third from page one. Award-winner Pillow weaves hot, steamy sex into a great story.
Detective Megan Matthews doesn't consider a family vacation a good time, but she's been suspended from the force, and photographer Ryan Lucas is responsible. Ryan's first photo of her in action got her transferred from the department. When his second photo catches her stepping on evidence, her boss "suggests" she go on vacation. As her family prepares to leave for their trip, Ryan appears and introduces himself as her fiance -- a ploy Megan's sister helped plan.
Unaware of Ryan's true feelings for her -- and his love of her strength of character and honesty -- Megan believes he's nothing but a journalist looking for one more sensational story and won't let him explain otherwise. The action heats up when Megan cannot resist her strong attraction to him. (Cheek, Oct., 256 pp., $12.95)

A Photo Finish with Flavor (of Love): Larissa Aurora vs. Jennifer Toofby Mischalova at . Comments
Mo'Nique has to pick up her game.
The host of Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School is faced with the task of turning women with less than perfect manners into models of decorum.
In other words: the opposite of oral sex-loving Lily Allen.
So far, so not too good for Mo'Nique, however. One contestant from the show has already made a sex tape, in which a very nude Jennifer Toof holds little back.
Now, Larissa Aurora (aka "Bootz") is almost baring it all in a racy new calendar.Â
While neither gal would win the title of Miss Manners, you can decide which should be Miss Hottie. Or does Holly Madison nude automatically win that award?
Of course, Carmella DeCesare is doing what she can to make that a close vote. Don't forget to let us know your take on that battle, as well.
Possible to know girls Holly Wood want the e-Larissa
first of all larissa got all that mouth but she no shay can woop her ass i yoused to like larrisa alot but then i seen she jus got alot of mouth she really let me down
larissa is a bitch, she calls leiline out because she is a stripper, but baby this is worst. you are selling ur body for money too. dumb bitch
larissa is fine as i dont know what she was gone woop shay a$$ because is a fake a$$ bitch and the reason is because she snitched and she is a snitch and she will always be and plus she a punk cause if she wanted to fight bootz she could fought her and talked crap to her while they were in the bathroom the only two people that will actually fight are larissa and sapphyri larissa is a bad bitchshay is a punk wit her fake ugly ass new york can woop shay ass
***I GAURANTEE WITHIN 3 YEARS LARISSA WILL BE MURDERED!*** I know Larissa won't care and like what I say, but due to her ignorance that she uses towards people, instead of using common sense, she will be killed by someone she really pisses off - MARK MY WORDS!!! It's sad to see that her momma has raised her to be a COCKY, ARROGANT, IGNORANT PERSON. Larissa's got the nerve to talk about a mother stripping to financially support her kids, but Larissa's is on TV. looking and sounding like a fool and like her mother hasn't taught her any morals! She a beautiful girl physically, but really messed up on the inside. I've watched to see if this girl would ever behave like a grown woman on TV., but so far she still has her head up her a$$! Good luck to Larissa getting through life, because where I come from, ignorant people like her get messed up or killed!

I'd like to blame it all on life.
Maybe we just weren't right, but that's a lie…
That's a lie.
And we can deny it as much as we want but in time our feelings will show. Because sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up…
The truth is… Everyone knows.
Almost is never enough.
So close to being in love.
If I would've known that you wanted me, the way I wanted you.
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart, but right here in each others arms.
Yeah we almost…
We almost knew what Love was.
But almost - is never enough.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- An Indiana man imprisoned on charges that he posted online rants against the judge who handled his divorce has become the center of a legal furor over whether his blog posts went beyond the limits of protected free speech.
Supporters ranging from the American Civil Liberties Union to the conservative lawyer behind the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark Citizens United ruling on campaign finance law are asking Indiana's top court to review a lower court ruling that upheld Dan Brewington's 2011 conviction for intimidation.
Authorities say some of Brewington's posts were threats. Brewington said he didn't mean for them to be taken literally.
Critics say the ruling upholding Brewington's conviction was based on his verbal attacks, not potential violence, and could endanger the right to criticize public officials.

GUILDERLAND — Simon and Edna Litten aren't living off the grid yet, but they're getting closer.
The couple lives in a house on Main Street in Altamont and had solar panels installed on the south-facing roof of their barn four years ago. According to Mrs. Litten, they expect the system to have paid for itself by 2020.
Robert Motschmann wasn't born a self-sufficient Hilltowner; the Long Island native became one. He uses trees from his 84 acres of woods to heat his home.
Electric cars are clean, quiet, but need to be re-charged every day.
Composting leaves and yard waste at home, or through town services, is a more environmentally friendly way to clear your yard this fall.

What's your FR username?
I don't have one of my own just yet. I help friends take care of their dragons when they're out of town or otherwise unable to take care of their accounts.

All of my babies were bought today for the Plague/Ice battle. I said yay, money! They were exalt fodder anyways.
Then I checked their names. I noticed most of them were named "Krii"
I knew I knew that name from somewhere. So I looked it up.
"Krii" means "Kill" in Dovahzul, the language of Dragons in the Elder Scrolls series.
While I appreciate the reference to the Skyrim, naming them "Kill" is a little much.
This, holy shit. While the money from selling babies is pretty nice, it really pisses me off when they're just automatically exalted for some petty Dominance battle. Did you ever think that maybe someone might've genuinely wanted one of those dragons? No, you're too busy worrying about yourself and looking superior on a site where literally nobody cares.
And what do you get from Dominance? ~OOOO, A MINOR SHOP DISCOUNT, OOOO~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grow up.
if i see one more dragon exalted from the plague flight i fucking swear
well i was considering hopping back onto mabi but then i was just reminded of all the shit i lost
haha no
hey flight rising staff can you maybe stop pulling random updates out your asses and actually optimize your site like you've been talking about so you can actually open your registration and actually tell people this time
i mean its not like there's any people that want to play or anything

Boynton Canyon. Another beautiful hike in the red rocks a few miles west of the Sedona/Oak Creek area in northern Arizona. The trail winds along a cliff ledge through the canyon, provided breathtaking vistas. The only thing marring this canyon is the sudden appearance of a golf resort on the floor of the canyon. The buildings and lush green golf course look like a mirage because the area seems so remote.
Sedona is just below the base of the Mogollon Rim, an escarpment forming the boundary between the Colorado Plateau to the north, where my city of Flagstaff is located, and the Basin and Range province to the south. The many canyons along the Rim are formed by erosion into the Plateau. The red rocks of the Sedona area are eroded from a sedimentary lens of iron-rich (hematite, or rust) sandstone called the Schnebly Hill formation after Schnebly Hill Road. Schnebly Hill sandstone was deposited as sand dunes near the shore of a shallow inland sea during the Permian Era 270–275 million years ago. For millions of years, the sea expanded and retreated in what is now the Southwest and Midwest USA. Limestone layers in the Schnebly Hill formation formed during incursions of the sea over the dunes.

LOXAHATCHEE – Seminole Ridge combined a suffocating defense and power running attack en route to a 31-7 victory over rival Palm Beach Central in a Class 8A regional semifinal Friday night.
The Hawks (8-2), who have won eight consecutive games, host Cypress Bay Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the regional final.
"We played a complete game except for one play," said Seminole Ridge head coach Matt Dickmann. The defense played outstanding. Special teams outstanding and offense. Everybody did their job tonight. Last week that didn't happen and we still came away with a win."

What You Really Want in a Mate
- Monday, November 11, 2002
Spirituality -- Spirituality refers to internal faith and beliefs. While connected to religion, it is different. In this context, religion refers to externals: things like the church you attend, what denomination you practice, what traditions and rituals you follow. Spiritual persons can often have little to do with religion. There is a great opportunity for conflict between a person who seeks answers to problems in prayer and meditation and one that solves issues by problem-solving and logic.
Character -- A person's character gets to the very essence of his or her being. Character reflects traits like honesty, courage, and commitment, things that are absolutes when creating a relationship. The task here is not so much to decide what character traits are important, but to discern absolutely that your potential partner has a strong character and holds your values as important.
Creativity -- Are you a creative person? If so, can you imagine spending your life with a person who is extremely analytical and logical, who doesn't understand or appreciate your unique viewpoint? If you are not particularly creative, would you enjoy living with a creative person who often falls short in other areas? It is important that your partner appreciate your creative tendencies.
Parenting -- Whatever your plans and dreams regarding children, it is of paramount importance that your partner agrees with you. This is often a subject that gets ignored early in the dating process, because the mention of it tends to give a certain unfavorable impression. If you do want children at any point in the future, you should try and determine what parenting skills your potential partner has. How do they act around nieces, nephews, or young children? Are you attracted to their parenting manner? Of course, if a family life is of no interest to you, you should also make that known early to avoid any misunderstanding.
Authenticity -- Authenticity is hard for some people. They have been raised to accommodate people and avoid disagreement. But in order to share a brilliant relationship, both partners must be themselves. Of course, the authentic path is not always the most "harmonious" path. You must come to terms with the benefits of a relationship based on the emotional stability of two people who are being true to themselves.
At the end of this exercise, Dr. Warren asks that you complete one last task. Take the 10 traits discussed above and rank them in order of importance to you. It will be difficult to meet someone who is perfect for you in every single category. If you've ranked them, you will already know which are essential to you and on which you are willing to compromise.
The eHarmony Research Library is a branch of eHarmony.com(tm), North America's most successful Relationship Building Service. Our precise technology searches a database of 500,000 persons to find truly compatible matches.

In his op-ed "The choice in Egypt: What's US to do?"

Unfortunately, there is really little evidence that this will work. […]

AJC urges the U.S. government and the European Union not to withdraw financial aid from Egypt and to proceed with great care in responding to the ongoing strife.

What has become apparent during our president's second term is his utter incompetence and deceitful ways. The latest civil unrest in Egypt is just one more example of his incompetence.

I wish the media would learn the difference between "protesters" and "terrorists" and use the terms correctly ("Dozens killed in Egypt clashes," July 28). Millions of Egyptians peacefully protested the Islamic dictator Mohammed Morsi prior to his removal by the Egyptian military. Now, we see only hundreds (not millions) of Muslim Brotherhood supporters who are […]

I mean it's a bit ironic and hypocritical that this is being posted on here, but fuck Tumblr man. I don't know if it's the available anonymity, the smaller group of followers, the drab website design, or something else, but I hate getting on here.
Everybody is so fucking NEGATIVE on here, be it rants like this, or their daily updates. It's their blogs and they can post what they want, but it's all just stuff that makes me say "Shut the fuck up already, this is getting old".
I don't give a fuck about your relationship issues, your suicidal threats to get attention, your obvious horniness from a dry spell, your diet and how everyone should eat like you. Your bitching about traffic, bitching about the government, bitching about gas prices, bitching about mean customers, or whatever the fuck it may be. Either address it or keep it in your head.
The world we live in sucks, bad shit happens all the time to everybody, big fucking surprise. I present myself as a funny person because nobody gives a shit what I think about critical issues and why I'm sad. Staying positive and making light of heavy topics keeps everybody happy. I have shitty days, these past few have blown, but I won't go into detail because it's not important, and not all of it is anybody's business.
I hope that at least 1 person agrees with me, and all the people I see on here are completely different versions of their real-life counterparts, I don't know why. Rants and preaching like this don't make you or me cool/edgy/unique, and the porn blogs on here are pathetic. I'll go on pornhub if I want to see sex, go jerk off and stop posting shit you wish you were doing.
But yeah, this'll be my final post on here, I'll just leave this website alone from now on, things like Twitter/Facebook/Snapchat keep me happy since the tone and mood is brighter. We're all hypocrites, we're all violators, it's the self-awareness that makes you stand out. Goodnight, and goodbye Tumblr, see you never.

Should you the rectangle-shaped, directly up-and-down entire body, you will need to perform upward your own figure D what this means is cleavage as well as perhaps utilizing material foldable or even highlights in order to stress your own bodice. Furthermore, the beautified waist will produce description as well as stress your own femininity http://www.costumecase.com. Prefer Ball gown wedding dresses which embrace your own figure and it has minimum pizzazz, just like a sheath design.
Should you choose would like your own dress to possess a circulation, think about whether gown which flairs close to the leg or even 1 having a greater waist along with a dress along with several sections to assist to produce form, although this particular second option appear is much better suited to ladies along with high structures which will not end up being overcome through the levels. With regard to small females who wish to include the look associated with elevation, search for gowns which have constantly up-and-down outlines, just like a mermaid dress or even gown having a greater waist in order to elongate the actual thighs. Furthermore, stay with easy material embellishments, like a constant design as well as color enables the attention in order to very easily journey up-and-down your body.
Because you're attempting on a single wedding gown following the following, do not turn out to be frustrated. There isn't any this kind of point like a solitary description associated with elegance. This genuinely is available in just about all shapes-and-sizes which are about locating the gown which makes you are feeling attractive as well as shine along with self-assurance while you drift lower the actual section.

Re: YEC 2012 iSTANBUL Mission: Beat Vika/Rena, humiliate Haga and win the title.
confirmed, masha will finish 1st in white group irregardless of the match outcomes tomorrow. so no rena SF
But she still has a monkey on her back - she is 0-22 against Top 5 players in her career, something she'll have to overcome as she takes on World No.4 Agnieszka Radwanska on Friday -
the winner of that match will qualify for the semifinals as No.2 in the White Group
, behind Maria Sharapova.
That match is second on, and the third match on will also determine a semifinalist - Victoria Azarenka and Li Na will square off, the winner of that match qualifying for the semifinals as No.2 in the Red Group, behind Serena Williams (Azarenka and Li both played on Thursday as well - read about Azarenka's loss to Williams here and Li's win over Kerber here).
The first match of the day pits Sharapova against Stosur and will
not affect the standings in the White Group or who qualifies for the semifinals.
