Grey Cup party and pipeliner appreciation planned
October 16, 2018, 10:14 am
Kevin Weedmark
On Grey Cup Sunday, November 25, the Moosomin Chamber of Commerce and the Moosomin Rec Department are planning an event to welcome and thank the Banister pipeliners for making Moosomin their home base, combined with a public Grey Cup party with the game on a 30-foot screen.
Plans for Grey Cup Sunday consist of two parts:
For pipeliners:
The Nutrien Sportsplex will be made available for free for pipeliners from 2-5 pm. The pipeliners will be able to use the sports simulators and everything else available at the Sportsplex.
For the public:
The Conexus MCC Centre will be open to pipeliners and the public starting at 4 pm for the Grey Cup Game.
Barbecued burgers and smokies will be available for $5 for the public or free for pipeliners.
The game will be shown on a 30 foot screen at the MCC Centre and there will be a cash bar at the MCC Centre as well.
Proceeds from the barbecue and the bar will go to further improvements at the Sportsplex.
People can reserve a table by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 306-435-3622.
The Chamber of Commerce and Borderland Co-op are sponsoring the barbecue, and the town is providing use of its facilities.
The event started with a suggestion by Bill Thorn, which was supported at the September Chamber of Commerce meeting. A committee of Bill Thorn, Heather Truman, Mike Schwean and Kevin Weedmark are working on this event.

Venue Craigavon Leisure Centre
Date Sun, 19th May 19
Starts 14:00 to 16:30 iCal file iCal
Event Description
The second event of NI's first Urban Orienteering League:
The format – Middle Distance Urban – no nettles or brambles (unless you seek them out), little mud, and you can show off your legs if you wish.
Courses: There will be three courses on offer so everyone is catered for whatever your ability and experience, be it complete beginner or NI Champion.
For the competition: 3 different classes: 12 & under, under 16's, and Open, each split M/F with age class adjusted results so everyone starts on a level playing field. If you're interested, all you ladies are being compared to Charlotte Ward, and all you gents to Graham Gristwood and Oystein Kvaal Osterbo so we'll see if we have any future stars in our midsts.
1. OPEN : over 16's only if unaccompanied. Under 16's can do this course if accompanied by an adult.
2. YOUTH & NOVICE : For 13-15 year old's who wish to run unaccompanied, and adult beginners / novices.
3. JUNIOR & BEGINNERS : For young kids under 13 and all family beginners. There will be no road crossings, but all young kids will need to be accompanied by an adult as this event takes place in an urban environment.
Parking : Craigavon Leisure Centre Car Park. Please note that there is also a netball tournament on, so parking may be tight. Please car share if you can: its more sociable, saves a space or two, and it is also better for the environment
Facilities : Registration will be right next to the Leisure Centre. It has toilets, a pool for a swim afterwards ( closes at 5 ), and drinks machines.
Dogs are allowed but would need to be on a lead because of the environment you will be in.

The Kinect Fun Labs Gadget is available as a free download for all Xbox Live Gold members and even non-paying Live members can try it out during a limited trial that runs until September 8th. The new chat tool joins a handful of other mini applications offered by Microsoft as part of its Kinect Fun Labs, which launched last month and Microsoft plans to add Kinect Sparkler to that collection of apps, $3 software that tracks hand movements to write with light on a 3D virtual canvas. Those looking to try something else a little different with Kinect will also be able to download the Kinect Sparkler 3D finger painting application…………….
Avatar Kinect launches worldwide as the newest Gadget in Kinect Fun Labs on Xbox LIVE, home to the latest Kinect innovations and never before seen Kinect technology. And the imaginative fun continues when Kinect Sparkler launches worldwide in Kinect Fun Labs this Thursday, July 28. Kinect Fun Labs is available in all Xbox LIVE-enabled countries. Avatar Kinect is a new social entertainment experience that brings your avatar to life. Avatar Kinect captures your facial expressions and voice so when you smile, nod or speak, your avatar does the same. Invite up to seven friends to join you in 24 imaginative virtual stages – discuss the latest celebrity gossip or news on the Talk Show Stage, try out your hysterical comedy routine on the Performance Stage, or wager who will win the big game in the Sports Party Stage. Share the fun by capturing animated videos you can post online for your family, friends or fans to enjoy. The Kinect sensor can record your session with a producer's editorial eye, following your performance, zooming and panning, just like a real TV production! Share your video recording with friends by uploading it to KinectShare.com and downloading it to your computer, and from there, posting it to your favorite social networking sites, like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and more.
Avatar Kinect is available for free to all Xbox LIVE Gold members, but to celebrate its release, Avatar Kinect has been unlocked for all Xbox LIVE members (Free or Gold) to enjoy from July 25 – September 8. Starting Thursday, the Xbox Facebook page is also hosting a special Avatar Kinect contest, featuring an online comedy festival with some of Hollywood's funniest stand-up comedians. Watch the comedians perform through Avatar Kinect and vote for your favorite video for a chance to win an Xbox 360 and Kinect bundle. On July 28, the Kinect innovation continues when Kinect Sparkler launches in Kinect Fun Labs. Kinect Sparkler transforms simple finger painting into an aerial light show, using brand new Kinect technology such as background removal and detailed finger tracking. Use your body as a stencil and your fingers to paint with light or write with sparklers, turning your room into a canvas. You can draw in 3-D, moving the sparklers in front of and behind your foreground image, and then view your creation from multiple angles by moving your head. Share your masterpiece with friends and family by uploading it to KinectShare.com. Kinect Sparkler will be available in Kinect Fun Labs for 240 Microsoft Points.

text: The 10-acre recreation area, managed by the Northwest Florida Water Management District, is in a natural setting of native forest that includes trails and access to other springs. The District recently completed restoration activities and recreational improvements to address shoreline erosion and to provide improved recreational access and opportunities, including an extensive trail and boardwalk system. One of the trails/boardwalks leads from Pitt Spring to the Sylvan Spring area, and includes an overlook and a tubing put-in dock. A tubing take-out dock has been constructed at the confluence of Pitt Spring run and Econfina Creek. The Pitt Spring shoreline was restored to a more natural condition, with large limerock boulders between native trees and shrubs. Swimmers can access the water by stairway access. Covered picnic pavilions and a state-of the-art restroom are available in the uplands around Pitt Spring.

-By Ian Millhiser
February 8, 2012- For weeks, Republicans have pretended that President Obama is waging some kind of war on religion because his administration recently approved regulations requiring insurers to cover contraceptive care — spurred on in large part because the conservative U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops opposes the contraceptive care regulations [1]. Their claim is utterly absurd. The new rules exempt churches [2] from the requirement to offer insurance that covers contraception. And they align closely with the beliefs of actual Catholics, 58 percent of whom [3] believe that employers should be required to provide insurance that cover contraception.
On Fox News this morning, GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum doubled down on this bizarre claim that Obama is going after religion — falsely claiming that the president wants to tell Catholics who they can hire as priests:
What they've done here is a direct assault on the First Amendment, not only a direct assault on the freedom of religion, by forcing people specifically to do things that are against their religious teachings. . . . This is a president who, just recently, in this Hosanna-Tabor case was basically making the argument that Catholics had to, you know, maybe even had to go so far as to hire women priests to comply with employment discrimination issues. This is a very hostile president to people of faith. He's a hostile president, not just to people of faith, but to all freedoms.
Watch it:
It's not clear exactly which First Amendment Santorum is talking about here, because he clearly isn't talking about the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. As conservative (and Catholic) Justice Antonin Scalia explained in a Supreme Court opinion more than twenty years ago [4], a law does not suddenly become unconstitutional because someone raises a religious objective to it — if this actually were true, anyone at all could immunize themselves from paying taxes or from any other law simply by claiming they have a religious objection to being a law-abiding citizen.

a topic posted ckv1212 in Forum AnnouncementsHi everyone, iOS Frontend Dev We're currently actively working on an iOS app for NGR and would love it if any of you on the forums have experience with Swift development and can contribute. We already have secured a UI/UX developer but would still welcome any inputs. The code will be open source and will be published on a public git repo. Our backend is powered by ips and firebase. In terms of compensation, you will be upgraded to an NGR VIP/Developer and I would also be willing to discuss other monetary contribution if it is absolutely required. Frontend Web Dev We have been using off the shelf themes for ips for a while now and want to take the next step towards making NGR better. This can either be done by developing a full frontend and linking it to IPS and firebase backend (which, understandably takes a considerable amount of time) or we can just focus on editing and customising existing IPS default theme for the time being.

Yes, Piracy will be possible with this exploit. We will open up a switch downloads section for regular members soon.

SEOUL • When the two stars of Illang: The Wolf Brigade walk the red carpet next week to promote the South Korean movie, the journalists are likely to be interested in only one story angle.
Are Gang Dong-won, 37, and Han Hyo-joo, 31, in love?
The occasion will be the first time that they make a joint appearance after rumours swirled that they had been dating.
In celebrity-crazy South Korea, a photograph had also popped up online in which the two appeared intimate with each other as the actor held a bag seemingly full of groceries, reported The Korea Herald. Was he going to prepare a candle-lit dinner for her, netizens wondered.
But the stars' management agencies have tried to deflect attention from them, saying the duo are too busy with projects to devote much time to anything else.
Gang's agency said he was preparing to shoot an American blockbuster movie called Tsunami LA, while Han's agency said the A-list actress was set to meet movie industry folk in the United States.
But some netizens were also sceptical. With talk of the duo's romance surfacing only two weeks before the release of their movie, they speculated that this might be a publicity stunt.

The Ark regularly gives back massages to new parents who are suffering with acute back pain.
After a lovely relaxing treatment to relieve the discomfort, they walk out of the shop feeling as if they're walking on air.
However, the following day, it's bath time as usual and they're bending themselves in half to support and wash a tiny tot who weighs considerably more than that description implies. This can lead to long-term back problems that could go beyond the restorative qualities of back massages.
There is so much baby equipment today that is designed to take the strain out of parenthood and help to save our backs – as Ashley J Downs reveals here.
Back care professionals everywhere shake their heads at the awkward postures we assume for long periods so as to keep bath time safe for our tiny babies. Even someone with the strongest core muscles is going to put strain on their back bent over at an awkward angle with both hands supporting the weight of a baby whilst, simultaneously washing it – any woman that's not long given birth will tell you it's agony and no, you can't have gas and air!
But, finally, an inspired designer has come up with the solution to all these problems. It's called a Tummy Tub and it's an upright bath that is shaped like a womb, holding baby in the familiar foetal position, warm and cocooned right up to the shoulders. Despite this, a standard sized baby bath uses considerably more water, so it is heavier to lift and far less ecologically friendly.
There's even a stand that lifts it to the perfect back-saving height then turns into a step as baby turns into independent tiddler then a box for them to store their treasures in after that. No wonder it's won awards, it's one of those things that makes you wonder why someone didn't think of it years ago. Maybe because we were all busy clinging to slippery babies then holding our aching backs, huh?
Ashley J Downs has been at the sharp end of parenting for over a decade and is well versed in the joy and pain of childcare. For baby shops online and to find out more about using
baby bath sets

By Lt. Eric Shine USNR – USMMRR/ USMMA KP
In preparation for the Coast Guard's move to Homeland Security executed in 2003, some forces that were involved who stood to profit enormously from changes started publishing propaganda in this regard. One of the most notable is an article by Bonnie Baker about Posse Comitatus and the Coast Guard, yet still reveals a good bit of truth in it. All really good propaganda always does, and then twists in the end, only to eventually leave us all twisting forever in winds of change.
The Coast Guard was not moved into or under the Department of Defense. It was never under the Department of War. It is not a Branch of Military and never has been. It did not branch off of the Navy nor the Army, which are the only two Constitutional forms of military we have. Yet, the Coast Guard has been trying to claim its position as a Branch of Military ever since its inception in 1915.
In fact, and in response to what it had been doing in acting as if it were a Branch of Military and using its pseudo self-made Military Codes from 1915 to 1945 to impose itself upon civilians, it was placed under Title 14 outside of the Department of Defense in the Department of Commerce at this point in time. It was clearly defined as a Federal Maritime Police and Law Enforcement Agency. Not any sort of a Branch of Military of any kind. When its members, who were and still are intended to be Civil Service employees, come under Title 14 they are governed by Title 5 or the Administrative Procedure Act as internal and only remedial civil service law, not the UCMJ.
Several things come into play here though that intentionally, by design, confuse and confound the matters at hand. First, the Coast Guard is often drawn on in times of National Emergency to help fulfill any surge requirements and move Coast Guard personnel as needed right into the Department of the Navy under the Department of Defense. This is accomplished by placing each and all personnel who are transferred into the Navy from the Coast Guard under and on Title 10 Executive Orders. When this occurs these individuals lose any and all police or regulatory powers.
The other time the Coast Guard's Civil Service employees deal with the Navy is when they are needed to be used as Boarding Parties, or a Civilian Law Enforcement Agency of civilian personnel when dealing with any civilians encountered by the Navy – such as in drug enforcement maneuvers or in rescuing Cuban refugees on the high seas. In these instances the Coast Guard remains under Title 14 and does not come under Title 10 so as to protect the U.S. Navy from becoming involved in civilian affairs as outlined in the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 as incorporated into Title 5, Title 10, and Title 18.
The only time any Coast Guard personnel are to come under Title 10 is when they are moved into the Department of Defense under the Department of the Navy and become active duty Naval personnel and thus must shed any and all police and regulatory powers.
While under Title 14, the Coast Guard cannot come under Title 10. If ever found under Title 10 by transfer it cannot remain or be under Title 14. They are like oil and water and they don't mix. The Coast Guard does not come under Title 10 ever, as it cannot be a Law enforcement Agency, or Federal Maritime Police Force and be governed by Title 10 and the UCMJ, which is military law or martial law that is to be contained within the Department of Defense and only used for Regular Branches of the Military.
Only Branches of Military, as in the Army as covered under Article I and its branch in the Air Force [previously Army Air Corps], and Navy as covered under Article II and its branch in the form of the Marine Corps are to come under military law as in Title 10. Exclusively. Specifically. That's it. No body else.
Moving any portion of Title 10, or military law, out of the Department of Defense is like moving a portion of the military as in personnel or hardware itself, out of the Department of Defense and into some other Agency. This is in strict contrast to the very strong prohibitions in what is being attempted by using the Coast Guard as a Special Branch of Military to administer civilian affairs somehow.
Doing this would be akin to using the Air force, especially and even after 9-11 when it might have seen as more necessary, possibly, to take over public air traffic, both Private and Commercial and place all under the thumb of the Air Force or Military. This did not happen even though 9-11 involved planes, regardless of what versions of the events you wish to believe. Better yet, or more exemplary would be as if the Army took over all our State DMVs.
Problem is?!?
This has already happened with the Coast Guard that now owns and controls the National Driver Registry in response to the incident onboard and involving the Exxon Valdez and Captain Joseph Hazelwood. Coast Guard and former Commandant Admiral Loy who now works for Lockheed – Martin is also using this Registry to work on the new Bio-Metric National I.D. Cards for private enterprise and military federal contractors like Lockheed – Martin that are precursors to the new National I.D..
The Coast Guard as a self-declared Special Branch of Military is licensing civilians as well. It is also registering or documenting civilian vessels much like our State DMVs are supposed to be doing with the revenues reverting of course to the States. Not anymore. The Coast Guard is also taxing and fining civilians, as well as trying civilians in what are clearly military tribunals and more.
It would be bad enough, and still un-Constitutional if the Coast Guard was still just a Federal Maritime Police Force carrying on its own trials. This would be like State Troopers or the Highway Patrol carrying on their own show trials.
The Coast Guard, and Navy, and Army and Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Chair of the Joint Chiefs, and the civilian Secretaries of the Department of Defense, and Secretary of the Navy and others including President Bush and President Obama have constructed this end run around the Constitution.
A more clear international example in what the Coast Guard is attempting?
It's worse than Tianemen Square in China.
We don't do that here. We are supposed to chastise all those who do.
Problem is, the Coast Guard has now voluntarily taken on the use of Title10 and the UCMJ now for internal purposes somehow, whilst remaining under Title 14 and doing so since it moved into the newfound Department of Homeland Security. It is controlled internally by martial law, but acting externally as a Civil Service Federal Police. The Coast Guard has forever married military or martial law with civilian law enforcement under admiralty.

How do I reload the filters?

Disable the current Claris folder by typing the word (disabled) after the word Claris.

Create a new folder in the System folder entitled Claris.

Insert the Nisus Writer CD (or your first Nisus Writer disk into the disk drive) and choose Custom Install.

Install the File Type Translators.

Restart your computer.

Throw away the XTND Translator List from the Preferences folder.

 Once you have emptied the trash, you can launch Nisus Writer. You should now see the Word 5 and 6 translators in the lower right portion of the Open dialog. If you have filters you need in the other Claris folder, you can switch folders by interchanging the "disabled" status. You can also copy the filters from the old one into the new one making sure not to duplicate anything.

Set a barbell on a power rack at about shoulder height (if you don't have a rack, clean it to your shoulders). Grasp the bar with hands at shoulder width and raise your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Take the bar out of the rack and let it rest on your fingertips—as long as your elbows stay up, you'll be able to balance the bar. Step back and set your feet at shoulder-width with toes turned out slightly. Squat as low as you can without losing the arch in your lower back.

Fear (or fear for) the "cardio bangers", these are the people that insist on running and pounding on the treadmill as fast and as hard as possible. These people can be heard from across the gym usually with headphones on singing and pounding away on the treadmill. The "cardio bangers" distant cousins the "weight bangers" wont be too far behind. The "weight bangers" are the people who just slam every piece of machine, dumbbell or barbell around them. From warm up sets to max effort sets these guys and girls just slam everything. While it may sound like a joke these people can cause a huge distraction for you and can cause you to get hurt. I have been startled many times by people who slam everything down around them.
A long nap that afternoon left me feeling much better going into the finals. The time between my posing routine and final confirmation round helped assure I didn't exceed my respiratory capacity. While I felt the gentlemen in 2nd and 3rd both possessed great physiques, I was able to synch my first win of 2017 and an Olympia qualification with straight first place scores from both prejudging and finals.
Most people need verbal coaching and tactile cues to achieve the proper positions and physically grasp the concept of tension, biomechanics, and movement execution. That's where this comes in. The hinge-to-wall drill helps you place an emphasis on the hips, which lead the motion. They unlock the initial aspect of the hip hinge and move backwards, as opposed to the knees unlocking and again squatting the hinge. Here's how to do it:
Few people have what it takes to be a pro. If you use low doses you'll know right away if you've got it or not. If you need one gram of steroids to barely look better than the average gym rat, I've got news for you: you will never be a pro. And probably not even a national level competitor. Taking bigger and bigger doses will likely only give you more side effects while making you look only marginally better. Weigh the pros and cons and be objective with yourself.

For example, if you consume 40 grams of a protein supplement, only about 4 grams of that becomes muscle tissue, and that's under the best-case scenario. (Muscle-growth isn't always very efficient.) They also demonstrated that exercise functions to push more amino acids into the tissue. No shocker there, although it was great to have actual tracer data confirming this feat.
This appears to be similar to dragging the sled with your arms extended in front of you. To differentiate, work to stay as upright as you can, with your arms overhead as far as possible. This will shift the emphasis to resisting lumbar extension, with less emphasis on packing the shoulders. You can make this even more dynamic by making an overhead pressing motion as you walk. Don't break position through the midsection as you drag.
This differs from a lat-specific pullover where the elbows tend to stay in "soft flexion" or even remain completely straight (again to emphasize lengthening the lats primarily) and remain in that position. With this pullover variation the elbows go into flexion, then extension emphasizing the triceps more than the lats.
Maybe you think you're protected from the sun because you slop on some sunscreen before you hit the beach. Nice try, but about 75% of beach goers who use sunscreen get burned anyhow. Either they put it on sloppily, don't use enough, or fail to heed the instructions to apply it 30 minutes beforehand. Most of the time, people at the beach are just seared ahi, waiting to be doused in wasabi and soy.
Being loose might help you on the dance floor, but not in the squat. When you're squatting, any loss of tension anywhere from head to toe is a leakage of power that should instead be directed into the barbell to squat maximum weights. Make sure your back stays strong, and that your lats are tensed, as if you were trying to bend the bar over your body. Also, tense your legs as if you were trying to open a chasm between your feet—the lateral force will help secure your knees as you move the weight.
You need more than 3 sets of 10 of your favorite triceps exercise if you want maximal growth. Here's what to do.
If you had the slightest thought of having a chance with 24-year-old supermodel Nina Agdal you can kiss that dream goodbye. Leonardo DiCaprio has chosen the absolute stunner and would be wise to hold onto this one. Agdal hails from Denmark and although she is known for her modeling has already made her way to the big screen in the movie Don Jon back in 2013. Click through to see her pictures as she splashes around in the pool.
This is a great gymnastic movement that is an advanced version of traditional hanging leg raises . It utilizes the lats, core, hip flexors, biceps and smaller muscles in the back. This exercise requires the body to bow from a global extension (hanging hollow body position) to a global flexion (pike position). I don't recommend this exercise for everyone. You must master the hanging straight leg raise first. Once you get strong enough, I recommend doing low reps with NO kip action. Start by gripping a small dumbbell with your feet and perform 3 sets of 8 reps and then add weight as you progress.
Most bodybuilders, strength athletes, and lifters aren't big fans of cardio. But they'll drag their butts over to the cardio section of the gym anyway because they've been told they have to do cardio for heart health. But according to emerging research, lifting heavy stuff is just as good for your heart, if not better in some aspects, than cardio.
Most lifters have underdeveloped mid-backs. Here's how to really attack that weak area to bring it up.
Even though the study showed maximum benefit in those who were obese, that doesn't mean that it won't improve your glucose levels. Run an n=1 study on yourself and see if it improves your own blood glucose levels. Regardless, those little green sprinkles you thought just added color to your sandwich may be a hack to whittle away your waistline.
Both push-up protocols are based on the triple drop-set concept. They both begin with the most difficult push-up variation and progressively "work down" to the easiest version. In other words, as you fatigue, the exercises become easier, allowing you to continue to crank out high-quality reps with less risk of injury.
Unlike biceps where the pump is more important than the pounds lifted, triceps need both. However, before you slap another plate on the bar for skull crushers, don't lose sight of the fact that heavy pressing movements for chest and shoulders invariably work the triceps. As such, the bulk of my "heavy" lifting for triceps is taken care of through chest training, not tricep-specific exercises.

Moderate- to high-quality evidence suggests that beta-alanine supplementation increases total work done, power output, physical working capacity and fatigue threshold. Four moderate- to high-quality studies demonstrated an increase in lean mass in beta-alanine-treated groups compared to placebo groups.9 A recent dosing study published in the scientific journal of the American College of Sports Medicine suggested that ~1.2 grams of beta-alanine per day was optimal for maintaining up to 50 percent more muscle carnosine over baseline, after a six-week loading phase of 3.2 grams per day (four x 800 mg doses).10

Next up: Studies on humans to see if the pigmentation and baldness genes show up in people as they get older and their hair thins and gets gray. In the meantime, if you're going gray, we say: embrace it. More and more dudes are rocking salt-and-pepper beards and hair, and looking good while doing it. If you're going bald, there's only one option once it gets too far along—shave it. (Hey: It works for The Rock.)
Whenever I'm helping an athlete set up a program to improve strength in his back, I tell him to think of the back as having three parts. I know, of course, that the muscles that make up the back consist of one continuous plane, with the various groups often overlapping one another. Yet, I've found that when selecting exercises for any area of the back, it's useful to break down the movements into lower, middle and upper and have at least one specific exercise for each area.
In 2002, the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research reported that the farther the feet are positioned in front of the Smith machine bar, the less quad involvement and the greater hamstring/glute involvement. When the feet were directly under the bar, the hamstrings and glutes received little emphasis, while the quads got almost all the focus. When the feet were about 12 inches in front, the quads and hams/glutes were fairly evenly emphasized. When the feet were placed about 18 inches in front, the hams and glutes received the greatest emphasis, with the quads getting only a little.

2015 has been a record year for Dexter Jackson. On March 7, he won his fifth Arnold Classic (record) and made his 14th Arnold posedown (record) in his 15th Arnold (record). And he did it all at 45, making him the second-oldest male winner of an open IFBB pro contest and easily the oldest winner of a "major." On Sept. 18 2015, when he strolled at his trademark glacial pace to center stage of Orleans Arena, "the Blade" set another record, one that he'd shared for the previous year with fellow Olympia victor Ronnie Coleman. It was his 16th Olympia entry, more than any other competitor in the O's 51-contest history. Jackson's Olympia career, highlighted by his 2008 victory, spans from his rookie year in 1999 to the present with no signs of halting. He is bodybuilding's ultimate ironman, and his record-making 2015 is a testament to his sustained excellence. Throughout his long and distinguished career, the Blade's colossal and shapely biceps and triceps have perpetually given him an edge. In honor of his 16th Olympia, we assembled Mr. Consistency's 16 best arm-training tips.
It doesn't take long to blast your arms and spark new gun growth. The below six exercises are to be performed as two separate giant sets (three exercises per giant set) repeated twice, which, according to my math (see below) will take you a mere 15 minutes. All the best mass-building moves for arms are included here—from chins to dips to close-grip bench. To maximize efficiency, set up all of the exercises/stations before you start the workout so you can transition quickly between them.
These will make you want to get in a lift at the gym.

Without a doubt, the key was focus. I really can't emphasize this enough. If you have big goals in the gym, you must be totally focused on what you're doing and what you want to achieve. When I entered the gym, even though I was thinking about being the greatest bodybuilder ever 24 hours a day, my mindset changed completely. I didn't think about what I had to do afterward or any other concerns outside of training. For the hours I was in the gym, training was the only thing that mattered. Think about it: What is worrying about other things going to do for you in the gym? Nothing. You can do nothing about them for that period. What you can do something about is your body and your muscles. Don't worry. Your other tasks and obligations will still be there when you leave the gym. Visualization was key for me when I trained. I didn't just imagine my biceps growing to 22 or 23 inches—I fantasized about them expanding to fill the entire gym, as ludicrous as that may seem. My arms weren't just big, they were mountains with vast peaks and valleys, at least in my mind. When training, never take your mind of the muscles you're working.
Before you can get your car looking shiny and new, you'll need to stock up on these essential products.
Hamstrings are the ultimate bodybuilding bodypart. After all, most every other athlete trains them — if they train them — for injury prevention. You rarely notice hams of note on a non-bodybuilder, and even most bodybuilders lack the density and dieted-down details to wow a crowd with rear-leg heft or vertical-blind lines. In this article, we help you hammer your hams as we lay bare the top five hamstrings-training blunders. Class is in session.
Instead, walk on an incline at a brisk pace (around 3 mph). That way, you'll spare the fast-twitch muscle fibers by emphasizing the fatigue-resistant slow-twitch muscle fibers. Also, by staying between 130 – 140bpm, you'll give your body a nice recovery workout to clear waste, improve your aerobic capacity, and, of course, burn fat.

Stop underestimating beans. Legumes like black beans can help you feel more energized and fuller longer than almost any other food source. It's partically because they're incredibly high in fiber, which promotes a feeling of satiety, and partially because they're made of a complex form of carbohydrates that take your body a long time to convert into energy. Better yet, they've got no saturated fats; can't say the same about certain other proteins.
Thursday, June 8, 2017 - Your feelings are all over the map now and you're unable to stuff them back into an appropriate box. The moody Moon is visiting your optimistic sign, but it appears that unavoidable trouble is on the path directly ahead of you. Don't tire yourself out trying to stir excitement where there is only unnecessary resistance. You won't change someone's mind with logic today; you must appeal to their heart through the emotions of desire. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Love is the only force capable of turning an enemy into a friend."

Law reports contain details of rulings of national and international courts, generally including a full transcript of the judgment. For the UK, reports fall into one of two types:
The print run of the 'official' report set, called the Law Reports, is shelved at JOURNALS--PER 344.4207. This series aims to include all cases establishing new or modified legal principles, or otherwise of significance to the legal profession.
Prior to 1865, domestic law report publishing was not centrally co-ordinated. You'll find the majority of law reports from this early period reproduced in the Library's volumes of the English Reports. Use the indexes to this series to determine which volume of the reports to consult for a particular case.
The majority of law cases are not reported, as they do not establish or clarify a point of law. Unreported cases (those not published in a law report series) may be held in transcript form held by the court or tribunal involved. These are usually obtainable for a fee, either from the court or the shorthand writers attached to the court.
If you do not have a law report citation for a case, you can use the print volumes of the Library's Current Law Case Citator to search for citations to reported cases.
If you do not recognise the law report series referenced in the citation, use a legal abbreviations index, such as the online Cardiff Index to Legal Abbreviations, to determine its full title. Finally, search the Enterprise catalogue by the full title of the law report series to obtain its location. For example:
Law reports
Most UK-published law reports are available online in full-text on one or more of the following Library databases:
It is recommended to search the JustisOne database by the name or citation for a UK case to get details of the available reports for the case, with direct full-text links through to reports on the Library's subscription databases and free Web content.
LexisLibrary and Westlaw UK also contain extensive full-text case law collections from EU and US courts, with lesser coverage of English-speaking Commonwealth jurisdictions, such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Unreported cases
Many unreported UK judgments are also available on these two databases from the 1970s onwards.
Decisions of international and national courts, both published and unreported, are now commonly released free on the Web, including:
The British and Irish Legal Information Institute (BAILII) provides free access to databases of collected UK court and tribunal judgments and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and European Court of Human Rights.

The Collateral Effect of Incarceration of Fathers, Families and Communities
- Organization: Council on Crime & Justice
- Date Created: Thursday, March 01, 2007
- Submitted: Friday, January 05, 2007
- Attachment(s): PDF
In 2003 the Council on Crime and Justice (CCJ) received funding from the U.S. Department of Justice to study racial disparities in the Minnesota criminal justice system. Seven studies were conducted in total. Some of these studies were aimed at defining racial disparities within the criminal justice system, while others examined the collateral effects of such disparities. The following study fell into the latter category. The purpose of this study was two fold: first to examine the effects of imprisonment on the family relationship from the perspective of the fathers, along with these men's strengths and struggles during incarceration and reentry into the community; and second to examine the community dynamics and resources within a neighborhood experiencing a high concentration of prison mobility (i.e. residents either leaving for or returning from prison). The Hawthorne neighborhood in North Minneapolis was chosen for our study because of its racial diversity and high prisoner mobility. An analysis of the neighborhood was conducted from the resident's perspective in order to better understand the physical and social environment to which many previously incarcerated fathers return.

Happy Friday, beauties!
I hope you have all had the best week! Check out this fun outfit below and don't forget to link up :-)
Outfit Details:
Dress: StyleWe c/o | Shoes | Clutch: Kate Spade (similar here, here and here) | Necklace | Cuff: Brook & York c/o | Sunnies: Diff c/o
As we shot this outfit, the first words out of my husbands mouth were "Wow. You use that clutch a lot." Yes, I do...and for good reason. It goes with everything! It looks great with both casual outfits and dressy outfits and the glitter literally includes every color of the rainbow so it's easy to match. When I want to add a pop of pizazz to my outfit, I just add this little beauty. In this case, I added it to this adorable light blue dress. I absolutely love the collar and button details! I added a pair of velvet heels for some added texture. Velvet is huge right now and I am loving it on all things, especially heels and booties. For my accessories, I added a sparkly necklace, gold pearl cuff and these lovely sunnies. I've always liked the look of white sunnies, but thought I could never pull them off. I really love the design of these and the way they fit my face. I have a thing with cat eye sunnies and these are both modern and retro, which I love!
Also, if you missed my post about why I love wearing dresses, be sure to check it out here!
Have an amazing weekend!

Due to different reasons, people have to move from time to time and from one place to another for example, getting a work transfer, moving close to where your family or loved ones are located, getting a new place with different environment and many other reasons that make people relocate. This is one of the many things that most people do frequently and all what you have to do is to embrace it. For all those who may want to move to homes for Cambridge MA, they shouldn't worry at all because there are numerous elegant, fancy, spacious, well kept and modish homes and houses for rent or for sale.
There are so many and also of different kinds where you are assured of getting one that suits your taste and also budget. However, there always seems to be a problem for the people who live quite far from this place and they are looking for homes for sale Watertown MA. Some tend to get stressed and use long and expensive channels of getting to know more about the homes that are on sale in this time. Relax and consider online options- ease and convenience are the elements that you will get to enjoy when these options!
There is definitely no need of having to move from a far state like Idaho or North Carolina just to get look for these houses or to get to someone who is located in Cambridge so that he or she can help you.

Mayrav has very generously agreed to take the Mad Cow socks.
I knit these socks for speed, not for quality and boy howdy does it show. So what to do with socks which do not represent my best work?
If I keep them for myself, their suckiness will perpetually taunt me. But how can I give away something which displeases me? Here. Have some hand-made crap.
I have before been happy, even proud, to give away my hand knits which had blatant flaws. The difference was those items did represent my best work, at that time. They were hand made gifts from the heart. I wouldn't be giving them to someone who would be disappointed with a hand made gift just because it wasn't technically perfect.
But these socks could have been better. I consciously chose to make them quickly instead of making them well.
For instance, there are the crappy color changes. I didn't even try for a "jogless" join. Moreover, because of the speed thing, I really yanked on the new color as I carried it up, instead of aiming for even tension. This produced some truly bizarre results.
Then there's the holes in the short row heel. I don't really want to talk about those anymore, but I will show you a picture now. As you can also see in this picture, I had some issues with "ladders". I could have improved those ladders by being more diligent in the knitting. But no.
Finally, there's the toe. I did a three needle bind off on the toe. It is faster than doing a kitchener toe but after having done it, I am more convinced than ever of the superiority of a kitchener toe.
So why am I subjecting Mayrav to these? It's not that I don't like her or that she's in such desperate need of socks she'll take anything. She's not blind or stupid, either. Basically, she's doing me a favor. Yes, the socks will fit her. Yes, the colors suit her better than they suit me. But that's not it. She's doing me this favor because she was there. She saw me knitting as fast as my little hands could. She was amused by the whole thing. She understands why these socks are so craptastic and knows I can't stand it. She'll take these socks out of my sight because she's a good friend. And maybe, someday, if she wears them, she'll appreciate the sentimentality of these sucky socks. For her, and only her, can these become a hand made gift from the heart.
At least I wrapped them pretty.

"BLESSED ARE YOU WHO ARE NOW WEEPING"-Luke 6:20-26
By Tiffiny Guilla, who was a composer and choreographer, was working for a financial corporation near the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001Everytime I have gone to the doctor over this time it is something new-losing my fingertips or feeling the hardening of my left lung…But I am not thinking about all this while it is happening. I did not even realize how changed I was physically until 2006 when I saw a picture of myself and I said, "Wow, I am deformed!"…
My life, although successful, was chaotic. My mother, in the throes of her second bout with cancer, had just moved in with me-with my brother, so we could take care of her. I had a greater desire for meaning and was ready for any change. So, on the suggestion of a friend, I went on an interview for this job at a financial corporation in 2000. I was hired not necessarily for my resume but, oddly enough, because I was on an amateur national gold circuit, and my would-be-boss loved golf! I thought, "Providence is at work here!" As a facilities manager, I did everything from running around with a real estate broker, ……
Two months into the job, I discovered that there was a chapel fifty feet from my office, Our Lady of the Rosary, the Mother Seton shrine, and I made that my second home. This was an answer to my prayer, which by then was becoming, "Lord, I want you to be my full focus." Because I was working there, I was downtown on Sept. 11th. And that brought this disease, which has put him front and center, as I had asked.
It was almost a relief to know I would have to depend on him now. God had to take each one of my gifts and talents away one by one for me to see what the real Gift is. My life is no longer who I know, all my contacts, what I can do-because I can no longer do what I was able to do physically. Now my life is just Him, on whom I fully depend. I still work in finance, designing office spaces. I can't play music anymore, but I still have my voice and I am composing music with the help of friends. I have to give everything to everyone because I am so dependent. But if I had not already been in a relationship of dependence on Christ, accepting so much help would be unbearable. Instead, my friends are signs of Him for me. I was even given a phenomenal doctor and friend..name Franz. He has saved me physically more than once-and has helped me emotionally and spiritually as well.
I know a lot of pain, and getting through the day is truly trying, but I cannot emphasize enough that GOD IS THERE EVERY MINUTE. How can I not accept all this as a gift?!"

This write-up is designed to provide candid and sensible assist for funeral property financing. Lisa is involved with blogging, affiliate marketing and advertising, course creation and t-shirt sales to a big degree and her podcasts frequently reflect her interest in these regions. They have to fight against all other competitors to prove why their small business ought to be chosen more than other organizations on a international scale. The t Test is the easiest tool in the world to inform if your new marketing or marketing campaign genuinely worked. This under- ten,000 USD franchise offers a splendid opportunity for people to own their companies, using the company prospects in the wedding and event sectors.
There is nothing SELFISH about speaking one's opinion and nobody is twisting your arm to run away from a organization that is not profitable. If you choose you are going to have an world wide web presence (which is hugely advisable for any enterprise), then make sure you have purchased a goodcom address. If you are interested in learning more about net marketing you can visit my blog exactly where I give ideas and tricks to market the Scentsy organization. Observe staff and their behaviour as this is quite essential in the operating of a business. There are also lots of company pages that you can post your enterprise on inside Facebook.
Look at all the company plans, how they are laid and what is completed to implement the plans. In Leader Organization ," I wrote about a military leader's eyes even though driving down a highway in Iraq, on the lookout for IEDs. Advertising on Instagram has the power to move folks — inspiring them to see a business differently or take action. As opposed to other modest business ventures, the begin-up expenses for this endeavor are minimal.
Although most of the info is in the help sections of Facebook, handful of people ever read it. Further, I've seen so several companies generating a individual 'friend' account for their organization, and groups for their companies – it is ridiculous. Most frequent guests or long keep residents in Thailand have dreams and aspirations of opening a bar business in Phuket, a seaside bungalow resort in Koh Chang and even a coffee bar in Bangkok.
If you happen to be prepared to invest in a application package, I'd have to suggest Peachtree Accounting based on my private knowledge with it, despite the fact that an additional well-liked item is Quickbooks. As the economy continues to sputter and a lot more jobs are lost, it may be time to rethink your goals. Okay, since my organization is in the chatuchak district, my business permits have been obtained from there.

Supremely Right
There's something a tiny bit annoying about posting an avatar for one's photo on social media, and it makes me feel terribly self-conscious to do so, but the fact that the Supreme Court of this country has to get involved to decide whether a ban on gay marriage is constitutional or not drove me to it. I hate this country, Henry said to me the other day in the car on the way home from school. They're studying civil rights in American history, and he was listening to a radio show about veterans from the Iraq war and their mental health needs, how they weren't even close to being met. I told him these were not grounds for hate, but I understood his frustration. Both of my boys have very good friends, several of them, that have gay parents. This is as normal to them as having a mother who goes on a laundry strike or a father that wears chef pants every day and an apron. I sure hope the Supreme Court of the land does the moral thing so I won't have to do any explaining -- or packing.

Maybe we can meet in Canada, if need be.ReplyDelete
I completely understand Henry's frustration. Eve has been studying slavery in Social Studies and shakes her head in disbelief that it wasn't that many years ago.... Hopefully we can all look back when our kids have kids and shake our heads at the notion of banning gay marriage.
I think you know what I think.ReplyDelete
We will continue to evolve. What we consider prime rib today will be but cracker jacks tomorrow.ReplyDelete
I changed my avatar, and it felt weird to me, too. But if not now, when?ReplyDelete
I think we all understand Henry's frustration, although I felt much more like that when George W Bush got elected (and even worse, re-elected).
I wanted to change my avatar but couldn't figure it out!! anyway, i agree with you and in fleeting moments, henry.ReplyDelete
fingers crossed!

Kindness is such a staple in my life.
In fact, some days I think it makes my world go round entirely, whether I'm showing it, on the receiving end, or witnessing it out in public, kindness always keeps me going. And for that, I'm so grateful.
It's a superpower we all have, and it only makes others' lives better when we put it into motion. Don't you agree, darlings?
And better yet, kindness is a universal language. I have been all around the world, and while language barriers can be a challenge to overcome, every person I've met understands an act of kindness. We all speak it, so let's put it into practice every day.
Are you fluent in kindness?
If you are, you know it is a marvelous feeling. If not, here are a few of my thoughts on how to incorporate it into your daily routine. Let's talk kindness for women over 50:
1. Make yourself feel good and make another person feel good. When you do a good deed for your family, friends or strangers, you automatically feel good and so does the other person. Be kind.
2. Be a voice for someone who needs you. I love to help and it's a win-win for me and the other person. My pooch is ill, and I am her advocate 24/7. I am rewarded by her wagging tail, her kisses, and her big black eyes looking up at me with love as if she is saying, "thank you." Be kind.
3. Be a role model. Our Grands are watching us. They are picking up cues on how to treat others. Be kind.
4. Cease being judgmental. People may show a side of themselves we will not always appreciate. When this happens, we have two choices: we can take the high road, realize their frailties and continue to be kind anyway. Or if their actions simply cannot be tolerated, which will at times be the case, I suggest you delete them from your life. Be kind.
5. Do we need a reason to be kind? Personally, I do not think so. Being kind is an upper hand. When I smile at a stranger as I walk down the street, I immediately feel good. I truly love being kind because it is uplifting to me and all those that I encounter. Be kind.
6. Lastly, be kind to yourself. Take time to smell the roses and to enjoy the silence of the day. Make time for romance with your partner and always show love to those in your path. Take time for a manicure, pedicure, haircut or new hairstyle. Be kind.
How do you show kindness to those around you? Let's talk! I want so much to hear your opinions and feelings. I also want you to speak up so that women our age remain visible. We have a responsibility to share our wisdom, wouldn't you say? Share yours either in the comments below or on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

FMCG: Chapter 12
It is perhaps fitting that my old friend Benjamin Wheeler begins his thoughts on Chapter 12: Balancing with, "Oh, Twilight, I've missed you. Since our last time together I've thought about you a lot, watched the movie based on you, cringed at the movie based on you, made fun of the movie based on you. And all of this made my more excited to get back to you, and finally, this windy afternoon, I have." Benjamin was away for a while when real life called. I have been away too. My brain was too crammed with my new job and new schedule that I haven't had time to ponder much. Lately, if I've had any blog time I've spent it over at Letters To Twilight, for the laughs. I have missed Twilight.
I'm sure that anyone who was following this thread is long gone, but I'll continue on at whatever pace I can manage. My apologies to anyone who is annoyed that I could not keep up. In case you have forgotten the rules, go read his article and then come back for some discussion with me.
I'm with you on the movie, Benjamin. We could spend a lot of blog time on the various levels of horrible there.
We get some suggestion that Edward is comfortable, both ethically and practically, with breaking in Bella's house. Instead of Bella walking home, Edward tells her (not offers to, mind you) that he will go to her house and retrieve her truck, which will be in the parking lot when she gets out of school. Bella notes that the key "was in the pocket of a pair of jeans I wore Wednesday, under a pile of clothes in the laundry room" (243). This is followed with a rather nonchalant, "Even if he broke into my house, or whatever he was planning, he'd never find it" (243). Have we actually reached so quickly the point in the story at which Bella is okay with Edward breaking into her house without her permission? It seems so.
I didn't consider it B & E by this point either. Edward had been doing it for months, and Bella and I had had time to adjust to that. Besides, to me it was more like Edward trying to make up for inconveniencing Bella and showing off for her, at the same time. It made Edward more of a mystery to Bella, so win for him.
What really disturbed me about this was that Bella never refers to "keys". She only ever says her "key". She carries around her single car key and uses a house key kept under the eave. She never mentions a key ring or a keychain. I wondered why Stephenie Meyer wrote it like this. It's like Bella considers herself a guest in Charlie's house even though she comes in an takes charge. I suppose coming in part way through Junior year with, presumably, no intention of staying much past graduation, she must have considered herself a houseguest and endeavored to make her presence minimal.
