General Information
The Grading SystemGrades are issued by members of the faculty to indicate to students their level of achievement and to provide information to committees given the responsibility of reviewing a student's total academic record and assigning honor or deficient status.
Newly admitted students to the Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) program, the Advanced Standing Program for International Dentists and Dental Hygiene (D.H.) students are bound by the university grading system (excluding plus/minus grades), which is detailed in the Academic Standards section of this catalogue.
Grades used by course directors of required advanced specialty classes are: "Cr" -- credit and "NCr" -- no credit. Other notations appearing on the transcript are: "IP" -- indicates that the grade in a course is not issued until a subsequent trimester; "IN" -- incomplete work; "ICW" -- incomplete clinical work; "W" -- withdraw. Students pursuing a Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy in Craniofacial Biology and students in dental hygiene, doctoral and international classes should refer to the Academic Standards section of this catalogue.
Probation and DisqualificationA student evaluation policy has been developed that outlines methods by which the faculty can recognize outstanding achievements by students and identify those who have difficulty meeting the school's academic standards.
In this policy, the procedures dealing with the assignment and consequences of academic status, including academic probation and disqualification, are outlined in detail. It is hoped that the development of specific guidelines will eliminate confusion and minimize the amount of time spent in determining the student's status, thus allowing faculty and students to concentrate on their primary responsibility -- the training of dental health professionals. Copies of student evaluation policies are available in the office of Academic Affairs.
D.D.S. (includes Advanced Standing Program for International Dentists)A student will be placed on academic probation if a "D" or "F" final grade is received; if in the judgment of the student evaluation committee, probation is warranted by other academic factors; if recommended by the group practice director, due to quality of clinical work.
A student will be placed on clinical probation upon recommendation of the group practice director if a grade of "F" is received in any of the graded categories of group practice performance, or, in the judgment of the group practice director, probation is warranted by other factors related to the delivery of health care or clinical accomplishment.
A student will be considered for disqualification if (1) a second academic probation is warranted; (2) a failing grade is not reconciled; (3) at the end of the academic year the grade point average for the preceding year is below 2.0; (4) academic probation is warranted while repeating a trimester on probation; (5) a deficiency in any area is determined by the student evaluation committee to be insurmountable; (6) at the end of the second trimester of the Advanced Standing Program for International Dentists (ASPID), the cumulative average is less than 2.0; and (7) at the recommendation of the group practice director, based on severe and irreconcilable deficiencies relating to the quality and/or quantity of patient treatment.
B.S., Dental Hygiene StudentsA student will be placed on academic probation if two units or more of failure are recorded at the end of any trimester; if a second consecutive academic warning is warranted; or if, in the judgment of the Student Evaluation Committee, probation is warranted.
A student will be placed on clinical probation if a grade of "F" is received in any of the graded categories of group practice performance, or, in the judgment of the group practice director, probation is warranted by other factors related to the delivery of health care or clinical accomplishment.
A student will be considered for disqualification if (1) a third probation is warranted at the end of any trimester; (2) a failing grade is not reconciled; (3) at the end of the academic year the grade point average for the preceding year is below 2.0; (4) academic probation is warranted while repeating a trimester on probation; and (5) a deficiency in any area is determined by the Student Evaluation Committee to be insurmountable. In addition to the Dental School evaluation policy (which evaluates courses taken in the Dental School), students in the Dental Hygiene Program are also bound by the university's academic status requirements.
Advanced Specialty StudentsA student will be placed on academic probation if a failing grade is received in any course or if, in the judgment of the program director, a student's performance warrants such status due to academic or other factors. A student may be disqualified if the stipulations of a probationary period are not met by the required deadline, a failing grade is not reconciled in the period specified by the course director, or if a deficiency in any area is acquired which is determined by the program director to be insurmountable. A student who is placed on academic probation a second time can continue in the program only with the approval of the program director and the Advanced Evaluation Subcommittee.
Honor StatusThe School of Dentistry recognizes excellence in achievement by assigning special honor status during the course of study and by presentation of awards upon graduation.
Dean's ListStudents who complete all course work by a prescribed deadline and earn a grade point average of 3.5 or above for a trimester are placed on the Dean's List. Students shall not be placed on the Dean's list if they are on deficient academic status during that trimester (i.e., academic probation and continued academic probation).
Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honor ListThe local chapter of Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU), a national dental honor fraternity, recognizes the top 10 percent of each doctoral dental class at the end of each academic year (August) by including these students on the OKU Honor List. The determination of the top 10 percent is based on a yearly GPA. It should be noted that placement on the OKU Honor List has no relationship to membership in OKU, which is based on overall academic achievement and professional development.
Graduation AwardsThere are numerous awards made each year at graduation to recognize excellence in members of the graduating doctoral, dental hygiene and ASPID classes. A complete listing is available at the School of Dentistry.
Voluntary Withdrawal/Leave of AbsenceThe School of Dentistry recognizes that in some special instances it may be necessary or beneficial for a student to interrupt or discontinue dental education. A student wishing to withdraw from school or request a leave of absence must contact the Office of Academic Affairs for procedures to be followed. An approved leave of absence will not be granted for more than one year.
Students at the School of Dentistry who have not been formally dropped by the school, are considered enrolled each term unless they have submitted a letter of intent to withdraw. A student's verbal indication that he or she intends to withdraw or failure to settle a fee bill are not sufficient to eliminate the student from class rosters. Final course grades will be collected for students who do not have a letter of intent to withdraw on file with the Office of Academic Affairs.
A student who withdraws at any time during the first three weeks of a trimester will receive no grades for enrolled courses. A student who withdraws after three full weeks of an Academic Time Unit (ATU) will receive a mark of "W" for all enrolled courses not completed. Withdrawal is not permitted after the 12th week of a trimester.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy ActThe University of Southern California recognizes and acts in full compliance with regulations set in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (The Buckley Amendment). A student may have access to all records about him or her maintained by the university except those considered confidential under the act. Students of the School of Dentistry wishing to review records or to appeal for a change in those records should contact the School of Dentistry Registrar. A small charge may be made to cover the time and costs of duplication of the record.
Tuition and Fees (Estimated)Tuition at the School of Dentistry is charged on a flat fee basis for enrollment in the regular degree and advanced certificate programs of the school. Exceptions do not apply to students who have courses waived based on their prior education. In such cases, students are charged the standard flat fee for the program in which they are enrolled.
Auditors pay the regular tuition rate. Auditors are not required to participate in class exercises (discussions and examinations); they receive no grades or credit.

If you want to find a housekeeper Greensboro and be able to make sure that you find a good one, there are many options that you can consider. The process itself may sound easy. However, finding one that you can trust and rely remains to be questionable. Moreover, if you are serious about having a housekeeper, you should find one that is serious about the job.
In the beginning, you can start to find a housekeeper Greensboro by taking a look at manpower services on the net. There are websites that host both seekers of jobs and employees. Certain websites specialize in household help. You can contact them and tell them about your needs. Mention as well the qualifications that you are looking for in a maid. They probably can help you with your concern.
Another thing that you can do is to browse through your local newspaper's classified ads. Some agencies post their advertisements there. Just ensure that the agency you're dealing with is reputable enough.
Posting an advertisement in the newspaper can also help you attract potential applicants to your available housekeeping post. When posting an ad however, you need to include the housekeeper qualities you are searching for. This includes the age of the housekeeper, as well as the skills and house help background. This helps you narrow down the applicants and to be able to get in touch with applicants who are qualified enough.
You might also want to consider asking your friends and neighbors if they have referrals. This can save you a lot of time if by any chance one of them knows someone who is more than willing to take the job or if they have great suggestions on how you can find one without going through a lot of trouble. Getting referrals can somehow give you peace of mind especially if the referral or advice came from a trusted friend, neighbor or relative.
These are just some of the options and resources you might find useful when trying to find a housekeeper.
What are the Benefits of a Professional housekeeper Greensboro?
A professional housekeeper takes care of all of the little things that make a house into a home. The hustle and bustle of the world means that many people simply do not have the free time to take care of much more than the basic household tasks, which means homes do not get thoroughly cleaned, meals are grabbed on the go or consist of take-out from the local drive through, and residences are just places to sleep and store clothes.
Hiring professional housekeepers — whether full- or part-time — can be a wise investment in one's comfort and sanity. With such a person in one's employ, you no longer need to be embarrassed by a messy or dirty home or stress over the household cleaning that you simply do not have the time to tackle. You will not be spending your waking hours struggling to keep up with the household laundry or running the never-ending errands.
Instead, you can come home to a place where you want to be; where you are not concerned about your friends seeing a bit of dust or commenting on the lack of contents in your refrigerator.

In 2011, Kasich's first budget cut $1.8 billion in state funding from Ohio's schools. The new governor urged Ohioans to reject new school levies that might help replace some of the money he stole.
His latest budget maintains a large portion of those cuts for public schools while increasing payments to Ohio's poorly performing charter schools. But has the Governor suddenly had a change of heart about school levies?
If you were at Monday's bill signing ceremony for The Columbus Plan (HB167), you might have asked yourself that question. Kasich, appearing with Columbus Mayor Mike Coleman, signed into law a measure that will require Columbus to put a new school levy on the ballot in November. "We need this to pass," said Kasich.
In the two years since Kasich took office, districts around the state have placed $1.3 billion in new school levies on the ballot to help cover the large hole in funding left by his budget cuts. With the exception of the Cleveland Plan (which weakened the teachers union) and the subsequent levy needed to support it, Kasich has failed to support any attempt by schools to raise revenue in the face of massive funding cuts from the state.
So did Kasich suddenly have a change of heart about school levies?
Why else would he show up at a public school a few blocks from my house in Clintonville to sign a bill that would force the city to put a new school levy on the ballot?
The answer, of course, comes back to charter schools.
The 9.01 mil levy that is planned for this November's ballot will not only increase property taxes by $315 for each $100k in home value, according to the Dispatch, but it will set aside 1 mil specifically for charter schools. That adds up to $8.5 million funneled away from the city's public schools.
Keep in mind that charter schools already steal funding away from traditional public schools, with the per-pupil funding paid to charter schools taken directly away from the public school system the student would have attended. And the public school systems are still responsible for paying to bus kids to the charter school.
Charters pay their non-union teachers worse than public schools but still manage to spend more on administration than public schools.
But most importantly, Charters, on average, do not perform well, with 3 out of 4 receiving an F on this new state report card, and they are getting worse under Kasich even though funding is going up in his budget for some the poorest-performing charters (which just happen to be operated by big Republican campaign donors.)
The charter-supporting levy proposal came out of recommendations made by the Columbus Education Commission (CEC), a group appointed by Mayor Coleman and driven in large part by the business community.
As Miriam Bowers Abbot points out at ColumbusUnderground, the CEC was not representative of the families who count of the Columbus City Schools to educate their children: "many of its members live outside the school district; ninety-six percent of the members have exactly zero children in the city schools."
So does Kasich suddenly love school levies? Does Kasich suddenly care about Columbus families, their wishes, and the education of their children?
Nope and Nope. The Columbus Plan gives the mayor the power to sponsor new charter schools and it requires Columbus to pursue a school levy that must be shared with charter schools. That is why Kasich likes it.
Unfortunately, many Columbus parents and students have a different opinion, as Monday's protest demonstrated. And without the support of the community, any new school levy is going to have a difficult time getting passed in Columbus.
Of course Kasuck loves school levies – now. He and his slimy politician accomplices can make some cash here now.
HB167 give Kasuck and other slimy pols the opportunity to pilfer more money from taxpayers, divert it from public education, steer it to privately-owned charter school operators and extract even more political contributions from the charter school operators.
HB167 is just another method to destroy public education, teaching professionals, teachers' unions and enrich slimy pols and scumbag charter school operators who know how to pay-(pols)-to-play. It'll also help bolster the effort of the Republicans with their construction of a permanent American underclass by eliminating advancement from the ranks for persons who gain a good education from public schools.
The professional pols like Kasuck and, it seems, Mayor Mike, see the cash pipeline within HB167 and they ain't gonna let the amateur pols on school boards get to the front of the cash cow milking line.
It's full speed ahead: f*** pubic education – f*** school kids – f*** taxpayers (especially those in urban districts) – raise taxes at the local school district level – siphon the cash to their buddies in the charter school business – and reap the campaign contributions for doing all they can with HB167.
Every slimy pol's a winner and can increase revenue from a new way to fleece taxpayers with HB167.
I love how these republicans lecture everybody about efficiency and high performance then turn around and throw money at charter schools that have established an abysmal performance record for nearly twenty years now. They must think that a photo op with a popular mayor will make people overlook this and their unimpressive job creation record, legislative assault on women, unconstitutional public school funding system, out of control higher ed costs, crubmling infrastructure, etc. What are they going to campaign on for November 2014? Fracking?
The only public school levies that Gov. Kasich has ever supported have been the "Cleveland Plan" and the "Columbus Plan." Both initiatives will give public tax dollars to private charter schools, as well as diminish the teachers' unions- two objectives at the top of his to-do list.
The tax money goes to the charter schools. The charter school owners get rich. Then they make huge campaign donations to Kasich and cronies. Tax money goes right into campaign coffers.

Get dining news including restaurant closures and qualify for giveaways.
I have been going to Donair Hut for years, over a year ago Matt took over and it has gone from a decent place to eat to an incredible place to eat. He is constantly trying new ideas and asks customers for feedback and listens to what they have to say.
He accomodates any request. I change up what I want in my donair and Matt not only accomodates it, he remembers the way I like it, so I never have to ask again. Great customer service, doesnt get much better than that.
Friendly staff, fantastic food.
One of my favourite places to eat. I will be back again and again.
I had been craving a Halifax donair... the kind with the yummy sweet sauce, and had found it difficult to come across. Until Donair Hut. The owner/operator is wonderfully friendly, remembered me from a visit 2 years prior when i'd stopped in with my son to grab him a donair. WOW! Great service and very nice. I liked the fact that the donair wasn't overly bready, the mear was perfectly spiced (i chose beef, but you can have chicken or lamb too) and the Halifax sauce was JUST what i needed to fill that void i was feeling. I will be back, but will also remember to go with an appetite! He has almost a dozen donairs to choose from, but i have a feeling the Halifax will be my go-to! Yum!
I tried Donair Hut today because I read the good reviews and wanted to try it out myself.
My order was prepared quickly by a friendly lady, and within 5 minutes I was on my way. Despite not being able to sit down to my meal for about another 30 minutes, this was still the best donair I've EVER had, I can only imagine what it would be like if I had it fresh out of the kitchen. Yummm!
I ordered the Beef Arabic Donair, that plus a drink came in under $10. The meat was juicy and full of flavor, the pita was soft (not leathery like some can be), veggies were fresh and the sauce and herbs were just spot on. You can really tell that a lot of care has been taken into making the recipe just right. There weren't any overpowering ingredients, and nothing was skimped on either; just a perfect balance of great flavors and textures.
Filling. Delicious. Well-priced. Go get one!
I have driven past this little dive many a time. But today finally went in! I ordered the simpleton chicken donair. It came to me wrapped in a little bundle all hot crunchy and dripping with yumminess. It was very tasty!!! I will be back. The flavours were a perfect balance of chicken, olives , tomatoes and whatever that heavenly sauce they piut in there. The restaurant owner is quick on his feet, very customer friendly and super courteous. I love seeing little restaurants like this flourish! GO SEE HIM! He will cook you something great!
I cannot believe this place. The guy, Matt, is so friendly and the food is incredible! He actually remembers my name when I go, even though I don't go often. The hummus is the best i have ever had. EVER. Their falafel is to die for. Really, if you haven't been there, you need to go. Right now. GO!
I live in Burnaby, BC, but whenever a friend and I are out in Langley toodling around on a Saturday, we always lunch at the Donair Hut.
They make the best donairs and what we like is the friendly and wonderful staff. They go out of their way for your comfort and satifaction.
On our last visit in mid-December, 2011, a customer ordered and while he was waiting went outside to take a call on his cell. His donair was done before his phone call, so one of the staff came out from behind the cook area and went out into the street to give this customer his order.
Each time I have been there, I have witnessed how great they are in taking care of the customer.....not to mention the absolute tasty donairs!
This place is a must next time in Langley.
P.S. This website only allows one choice in dine-in, take-out, etc. which is unfortunate - Donair Hut is both dine-in and take-out.
I recently ate at the Donair Hut after not being there for over 2 years. I found out that it was under new management and that Bubblism had moved into the location. We were sad to see another bubble tea store go away so we were pleasantly surprised to find out that it had just moved. I had the Arabic Donair and it was the tastiest food I have had in a long time. The owner was so friendly and it was an overall good experience. The place itself isn't candlelight with a view by any means but it appears clean. We are now planning a family trip there so my husband can try it out and our kids can have bubble tea.
**My son and I laugh about that Ole style commercial with the disparrage of chicken Thursday's...LAMB Wednesday's means a trip out to see Matt at his Donair Hut, on Fraser Hwy right at the begining of the one-way.
Amazingly fresh fresh fresh, tasty, happy OMG good....yes IT is that good.
Asian is always good, my son trades back and forth between that one and the Cyprus. I am currently hooked on the Mediterranean, my friend from Van who is a foodie, loved the Arabic.
Matt's graciousness, keen sense of tasty and just plain personable SMARTs are a great winning combination...gonna have to email Guy Fieri from the food channel about this place :)
This place is a great, healthy place to eat! Matthew takes pride in his work and is very friendly.
I've tried several different donairs and they are all good!
My favorite are the californian (with avocado) and the asian. He's just come out with the cyprus which is supposed to be tasty too! It's easy to pass this place, but once you've been in you'll definitely be back!
I cannot say enough, how much I enjoy this little restaurant. The owner, Matt makes his falafels from scratch, and while you're there. He also has lamb, chicken & Beef. It's gotten very busy, as word has gotten out about this place. They have an assortment of Donair's, my favourite is the Arabic, and he makes his own roasted chili flakes to add in there for a bit of a bite. Everything is freshly made, and they also use tabouleh salad. Hands down, the BEST Tatziki & Hummus that I've ever had. If you like garlic, you will love these!
The owner, is continually trying to bring fresh ideas to his shop. Sometimes you have to wait a few minutes because it's just him and his mom, but you won't be sorry. Bon Appétit!!

Ultimate concealmentThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Walkingtall4 years ago
My wife has carried concealed in her purse for years. What is the first thing a robber is going to try to take from a lady? The purse. This holster allows for deep concealment without changing the wardrobe. Draw is quick and close to the body. Reholstering is a bit of a challenge, but that is of secondary concern to saving her life. Excellent product and arrived in 4 days.

The LCP fits perfectly into the holster, in and out easily. My wife says it rests comfortably and she is good with it (and that's what matters). Snap is tricky but read the instruction to save some frustration.

Best Women's HolsterThis reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.CNguyen4 years ago
It took about a week to become comfortable. However, it has become the most comfortable and concealed way to carry my LC9 so far. No one would ever know I was carrying. Also, it is a very quick and easy draw. This is the best holster I have found so far. I recommend turning the snap in the up position.

Reader 9.2
10/29/09 - The latest version of Adobe Reader is 9.2.
My current OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Retail fresh install.
Adobe is constantly pulling shady acts that they don't tell you straight out about up front.
1. I installed Flash, Shockwave, and Reader. Low and behold, I find out that I have Adobe Download Manager installed in my computer. Was there any indication warning me that Download Manager would be installed? No! Was I given any option to choose between installing the Download Manager and some other method? No! It ended up being installed right under my nose. I might have even installed it if they asked, but probably not. The point is that they didn't even ask. End result: I'm PO on an epic scale! I'm seeing red!
2. OK so they parasitize "Reader_sl.exe" onto my system. This is nothing new. I don't eradicate it because it seems to make *.pdf files open faster. So it sits there lurking in the dark. And as far as I know, they stopped their evil hidden installation of AIR. Not that AIR itself is evil. It was just being installed without permission along with Reader instead of allowing us to decide whether we want to install it or not. So now it appears we can rest safely. Don't bet on it! Suddenly we find ourselves parasitized with "AdobeARM.exe". The worst thing about it is that there is no explanation about it anywhere to be found. It's called the "Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager". It's a total mystery. If anybody can help, please let me know what this is. And also how to eradicate it if need be. Thanks!

So, skip Adobe Acrobat reader and using something much smaller and slimmer like Fox It PDF reader. I haven't used the Adobe reader program in so long, i forgot how big and bloated that it is.

You miss this,
when you installed Shockwave? Sad part is that was from their so called "slim" install. And they are trying to foist off the McAfee scan on the Flash download page,
Adobe - Adobe Flash Player
Haven't checked it IE8 yet, but in Firefox instead of just getting the Flash installer you get this,
P.S. If you haven't tried it yet, Foxit is a great alternative to the bloatware Reader.

Some of my software can't recognize Foxit. I tried Foxit years ago, but had a conflict opening a the help instructions in Vue. For some reason, it needed Adobe Reader to open it. That's the only reason I even continued using Reader.
I didn't get that Norton thing becase I didn't go Slim with Shockwave. But at least they ask you if you want that Norton garbage. You have the option. I'm not sure exactly what the difference is between slim and full, but I think the slim is missing features. Here is the only explanation I found: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/195/tn_19523.html

I didn't bother with the download manager, I just selected to use http downloads of the items instead :)
In regards to AdobeARM.exe this is the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager which is for managing future updates and controlling JavaScript execution aswell as other features.

Maybe if you haven't tried Fox It for years that it's worth another look now. I haven't used anything but Fox It for Windows in years and have had very few problems with compatibility.

By Guest Blogger Paula Jager, CSCS
I asked for interaction and feedback in my last guest post and boy, did I get it! Excellent questions everyone. To those that contacted me directly I have already responded. I didn't want to not answer anyone's questions so we will do so on today's blog and it's a long one. So grab a cup of java with some raw cream, sit back and read on. Some of you had multiple questions in your feedback–if I did not answer them all let's keep it coming on this post and I will do so.
In general I have received multiple requests for How to Guides, Basic Bodyweight Workouts, Intro to Weight Lifting, Scaling Options and Working Out at Home. You all have given me plenty to work with and these will be the subjects of upcoming blogs. As well as some video guides in the future.
I have summed up the questions from each of you as best as possible. . .
Questions: From Margaret; how to work a fitness routine in at home and stay consistent while developing habits that you can maintain with traveling interruptions?
Answer: First, you must make fitness a priority just as you did learning to eat traditionally. Secondly, set a schedule (write it in your planner or appointment book just like you would any other) and stick to it, even while traveling. To keep it simple develop workouts that you can do with little to no equipment when you are traveling. Several can be found on this website Modify the workouts as necessary for your fitness level by reducing the number of reps, sets or intervals. Everything can be scaled. As far as the eating goes; if you are able to stay on the straight and narrow everything else in your life is easier to maintain. Stick to meat, fish, fowl, vegetables, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. That can be followed most anywhere.
Question: Emily asked "is it necessary to HURT, for an exercise program to be effective?"
Answer: Exercise should not "hurt" but in order to achieve any level of fitness there will be discomfort. You must progress and take your body beyond where it has been in order to become fitter on induce change. There is nothing wrong with a 3 day/week gym workout that combines exercise and cardio on alternating days as you have done in the past. That program in itself will develop a healthy level of fitness with–as you mentioned–the addition of proper nutrition. You also stated that you tried CrossFit and felt "if I stuck with it, I could really change my body". Yes you could, it works plain and simple but "I didn't enjoy it" and that is important also. If you are going to make exercise a lifelong habit you must find something you enjoy and there is more than one way to get there. Yoga? A great compliment to a strength and conditioning program but in my opinion it is not enough by itself.
Question: Joy found the CrossFit workouts on the blog difficult to implement?
Answer: Yes Joy, without the proper equipment and instruction a lot of the workouts would be very difficult to perform at home and even a potential for injury if one is not familiar with the techniques. And you can only learn so much from watching a video. Some excellent bodyweight workouts can be found on this site
Question: Carol asked about yoga for loosening up stiff muscles and a way to build strength in her arms?
Answers: Kudos Carol on your "CrossFit" workouts. Whether you realize it or not that "ranch work" is an excellent full body workout. Yoga would be a great accompaniment to it to help loosen you up as well as mobility work. Check out the entire series on Marks Daily Apple for a great how to guide you can implement at home with minimal equipment. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/?s=mobility+series&x=51&y=18 As for strengthening the arms some basic movements like push ups and pull ups will work wonders. There are progressions for both of those movements that again can be done with little to no equipment, please stay tuned for my posts on just that subject in upcoming blogs. Keep up the good work on the nutrition.
Question: Bethany asked about P90X and the best way to run?
Answer: Well Bethany although there are differences I have to say that the P90X program is good. If it is working for you and you enjoy it, stick with it! Their nutritional information on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired but I think you already ascertained that.
As for the best way to run, short sprints are where it's at for the most part. However if you enjoy a long run on occasion that will only serve to enhance your fitness. I just would not over due them and be sure to incorporate the shorter sprints into your program as well
Question: Mali asked "what is more important to change first: exercise or diet?"
Answer: You already gave me the answer: "ideally together". Life ain't always ideal so I would say change the one first that you struggle with the most while not neglecting completely the other. If you are looking for external results most people will get more with the larger focus on nutrition, it's about 80% of fat loss. At the same time you don't want to neglect exercise. For optimal results both should be implemented to some degree.
Questions: Cory had a few questions about simple, basic workouts, done at home with family, little to no equipment and under 20 minutes?
Answer: Yes, yes and yes. There are many simple workouts that can be done at home with little to no equipment in less than 20 minutes. Keep an eye out for future blogs and in the meantime check out this site for some bodyweight workouts.
As for your age (46)–you are a youngster and can absolutely get in shape and workout right alongside your hubby and teenage boys! The workouts are something that both men and women can do together and enjoy. Actually, at CF Jaguar new male members have a difficult time at first keeping up with our veteran female members.
While some trainers do have a low tolerance for the "rest of you" when I say I am not compassionate I mean only with someone who is not willing to try–that is all I ask of my clients. I will give them all the help they need and go above and beyond if they show me they are willing to help themselves. You're correct, most people have no desire to be on the cover of a magazine in a bathing suit–it's about being healthy and feeling good.
Question: Jenny asked about fitness routines for busy moms? She has 3 children that are with her all day everyday?
Answer: I have no children of my own (other than my husband) but I have a deep and genuine respect for the demanding job of motherhood. Having children is a full time job in itself let alone those moms that must also work outside the home. My suggestion would be something that you can do at home. I would carve some time out for you even if it is only 10-15 minutes 2 or 3 x a week. That is your time; work with what you have at home–dumbbells, bodyweight etc. . .The rest of the activities I would include the kids in. They are 6, 9 and 11 so they are old enough to take to the part for a workout, or play various sports or games with. Make it fun for them, not too complicated and a part of family time. Include dad in some of the workouts also, even if only on the weekend. Yet another good idea for a blog. . .
Question: Ann asked, "CF looks over my head and abilities" "can it be tailored for someone age 56 and doable?"
Answer: Great question Ann. My 83 year old mother does CrossFit. As I mentioned earlier the website can overwhelm someone with the understanding of it all and the apparent difficulty. The beauty and applicability of it lies in the scalability of the program. I have many different skill sets in my group classes, however the ideal way to begin the program is with private foundations classes where you can safely and effectively learn the movements, scale everything to your fitness level and progress from there. And again, to do long term you should also enjoy doing it, which is why I encourage someone to find a fitness program they also enjoy.
Question: Kelsey asked what to do in the face of multiple health issues such as adrenal gland issues, asthma and vitamin D deficiency. She is seeing a naturopath for these matters.
Answer: Keldy I can't stress the importance of proper nutrition to help with these issues, which I am sure you are aware of from reading this blog as well as working with your naturopath. It is outside my scope of practice but related to so here's my opinion. You do need to listen to your body but I agree with you that at least some moderate exercise will aid the recovery process. Rest is an important and essential part of any health regaining protocol but leaving exercise out entirely is just as detrimental as leaving rest out IMO. My advice would be to listen to your body, give yourself a day between workouts and start with what you can do and go from there. I believe short, intense bursts followed by complete recovery will aid the healing process and create a favorable neuroendocrine response as opposed to longer moderate intensity workouts which would drain the body at this point in time. Your workouts could be 5-10 minutes in length.
Question: Audry asked for information on the practicality of implementing Olympic weight lifting and also doing so outside a gym?
Answer: Audry, I have to agree with you it does seem "completely out of reach for most people". While an excellent endeavor with significant life altering results it must be done with proper instruction for most people. Once again this should ideally be done initially under the tutelage of a qualified instructor. You don't necessarily need a gym or CrossFit membership but you do need barbells and weight plates. Many people set up "Garage Gyms" quite easily and with little expense.
And yes, you can incorporate a lot of the same exercises and movements in a more accessible way. That would be what I refer to as "scaling" and dumbbells and kettlebells can be used instead of barbells and is often equally effective and a great place to start. Excellent on your ability to do 5 pull ups–very impressive. I have plans for a future blog on the progressions you followed to get there.
Whew! I think that's everything. If I missed your questions please do not hesitate and this was tough, very, very tough–all the questions were good–but the winners are. . .

A middle school outside Chicago has one mom on a privacy rampage after her daughter claimed administrators forced her to log into her Facebook page so they could inspect her online social activities.
This mom's rampage has now taken her all the way to the front page of MSNBC.com, where she claims that school officials have told her they commonly inspect social media and even have students unlock their smartphones, all in the name of protecting the educational environment.
In a student handbook (PDF) distributed by Geneva Middle School South in Geneva, Ill., page 10 describes "temporary records" that the school may gather, with the top item being a student's "social history." Parents are allowed to see and copy any information kept on file about students, the handbook notes.
But that's not enough say-so for Pam Broviak, who said a forced search of her daughter's Facebook left her "embarrassed and very upset."
School officials admitted to MSNBC that while they never ask for passwords, officials do require students to reveal privately kept social media information themselves or deal with the consequences of a phone call to their parents.
"There are different levels of concern," Kent Mutchler, the school superindendent in Geneva, told MSNBC. "If there is a drug trafficking suspicion, we'll get the police involved. If it's something like cyberbullying, we'll say, 'This has been reported to us,' and ask to see the page."
He added that administration only delves into students' social media accounts "a half-dozen to a dozen times per year."
Even that, however, is against Facebook's terms of use.
"This practice undermines the privacy expectations and the security of both the user and the user's friends," Facebook privacy chief Erin Egan said in March. "If you are a Facebook user, you should never have to share your password, let anyone access your account, or do anything that might jeopardize the security of your account or violate the privacy of your friends."
Facebook also offers tools for educators who receive reports from their students about abuse on the network. The company claims it has seen a "distressing increase" in individuals being forced to reveal their private social media activity in recent years, although mostly by employers, but also some schools.
The American Civil Liberties Union is currently pursuing a landmark case against the Maryland Department of Corrections for that very reason, after a job applicant was ordered to hand over his Facebook password. The rights group called it "a frightening and illegal invasion of privacy."

|850 sq ft
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|6 nights
This is a Luxurious Houseboat on the Erie Canal. The boat is 15 feet wide by 67 feet long. The interior has a full living room, full kitchen, 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, all heated and air conditioned.
There are decks at the stern and bow for cooking on the gas grill, sightseeing, lounging, and enjoying the wildlife. The boat includes an upper deck that is 15' wide by 50' long which includes a service bar, hot tub, and water slide. This is an ideal location for sunbathing or relaxing.
Spend your days tied to the dock swimming and grilling off of the deck or floating in the middle of the lake enjoying the calming sights of Seneca Lake and the Finger Lakes region.
The marina also has pontoon boats, paddle boats, kayaks, Skis and tubes that are available for rent at anytime during your stay on the lake.
Our marina is also known for its Tiki Bar North, a bar right on the edge of the lake, accessible by boat. With live music every Thursday and Sunday! A great place to hang out after docking for the night. The bar is family friendly.
We are Donna and Bob Stivers and have been renting house boats for 15 years, we have operated Stivers Seneca Marine for 20 years, we have lived on the lakes for our entire life. Our knowledge and experience has created a sense of security for our customers for their vacation on the Erie Canal.
Bob and Donna Stivers purchased this boat in 2009
We chose this type of rental to give visitors the type of experience that we have had throughout our lives. Living on the water is a vacation in itself.
This property allows visitors to view the Fingerlakes and The Erie Canal from the water. The mobility of the houseboat gives many different views of our spectacular sites.
In August 2013 my husband and I celebrated our 50th Anniversary with our family on this wonderful houseboat. It was a vacation that will long be remembered by all of us! We ate great meals at Parker's in Seneca Falls and stayed overnight there Monday and Friday nights. The week-ends in Seneca Falls are busier and not as quiet as the week nights. Lyons was a great town and we went to the interesting Peppermint Oil Museum at the suggestion of Lester, the town greeter. Since the Wayne County Fair was in Palmyra that week we were able to enjoy the fair and food. Newark was a great place to spend the night as we could hook up to 50 amp electric. We were very fortunate to have beautiful weather and spent Saturday on Seneca Lake and then Stiver's Marina for our final night. They have a restaurant, Tiki Bar and music on Saturday nights. The houseboat is very comfortable and spacious with having the upper deck. The mattresses are very nice and bathroom showers better than expected. Don't depend on Satellite and Wi-Fi on the water so plan to take advantage of the time spent together talking, laughing, and enjoying the blue herons, turtles, scenery, and the nice "greeters" that you meet in the towns. There were 6 adults and my 10 year old granddaughter. She didn't complain about not having technology that she has at home and learned about the locks that we went through, enjoyed the water slide, hot tub, and called ahead to the next lock master. One very important thing to remember is that there is always a possibility that something can go wrong with the boat.....just like a car. Don't be so strict with your itinerary that you can't deviate......."go with the flow" and enjoy each experience. Bob, the owner, is only a cell phone call away and can instruct you on any problem that would happen. I was so impressed with the communication with Bob, Donna, (his wife), and Eileen who worked with us months before the trip answering all of our questions. Eileen who works with renting the houseboat went "out of her way" to help us with the trip! These people truly care about their boat and making sure that you enjoy what they have enjoyed for many years. We even met Bob's mother the day we left the houseboat.......what a delightful lady! We actually met one of their daughters where we had a wine tasting at the Lake Street Filling Station cafe near the Ramada Geneva Lakefront where we stayed 2 nights before we got on the boat. What an incredible experience!

The Original Sensible Seed Co present Grass-O-Matic Mass Automatic
Grass-O-Matic Auto Mass is Grass-O-matics autoflowering version of Critical Mass retaining the highly psychoactive and characteristic fruity aroma of the most famous variety of recent years, but takes only 60 to 65 days to mature, a record time for the world's fastest Critical.
An easy to grow and very productive automatic plant that will delight every grower.
The dominant phenotype results in medium sized plants that do not grow higher than one meter, with limited branching and most of the buds located around the central stalk. The most spectacular results are obtained by cultivating this variety with artificial lights in a Sea of Green (SOG) setup.The second Auto MASS phenotype develops in a more open and branched plant, producing large conical buds.
The aroma is intense and very strong, while the flavor is reminiscent of a tropical fruit salad with an exotic spicy touch that is extremely tempting.
Auto MASS is very resistant to mold, something surprising in a Critical strain but a big plus for this plant.

Oy, do people love us!
"Did Mostly Kosher just steal the Festival of Holidays show? I had been looking forward to Mostly Kosher since I saw the entertainment listings. Not because I knew of them, but just because I was so darn curious what this band would look and sound like. To say that I was impressed was an understatement. It's like a yiddish Reel Big Fish. Amazing." read a full review here!
"MOSTLY KOSHER...My favorite group, FANTASTIC, definitely see them!" read a full review here!
"A band with class always makes me thirsty" read a full review here!
"I had very little involvement in last night's sold out Invisible Hour at the Pico Union, but it was a highlight event of the year for me. I loved the music, the crowd and the energy - but most of all I loved watching really great people do their thing really well and I love what they were doing. All honor to Mostly Kosher for a superb evening!"
"The two bands [Mostly Kosher and the Klezmatics] share a love for preserving traditional Yiddish music and cultural traditions — sometimes with the addition of a contemporary spin — and both have enjoyed plenty of critical and audience acclaim. Still, Mostly Kosher and the Klezmatics can, to some extent, be viewed as the new klezmer kid on the block and the genre's lion, respectively."
"Mostly Kosher shined throughout their concert at BCC, making use of their exquisite musicianship, contagious energy and poignant light-hearted humour -all of which were great ways to introduce the attendees to the sonic and spiritual experience that Klezmer music is about!"
"Mostly Kosher perfectly complimented our Jews in LA exhibit. The traditional music and songs were beautifully executed and performed. The comedy sketches disbursed among the musical performances were hilarious. Through comedy very real and moving moments representing Jewish culture were respectively brought to life."
"The richness of Jewish music is seamlessly fused with Latin tango, samba and cool jazz producing a world beat cabaret which swings high and low from ecstasy to longing." read a full review here!
"Your group's enthusiasm, wit, talent and high energy created a one-of-a-kind experience for our visitors."

It is a common thing that students have to deal with a couple of papers at a same time or in a really short deadline. This situation can be so much worse if they also work aside from their student life. As a result, they have to let the score roll down simply because of the insufficient time working on it. No matter what, they just can't leave their work since they need the money for their tuition. If you are now living in such a situation, what will you do then?
Thankfully, everything is much easier now, thanks to online services such as online writing service. Many students admit this kind of service is really a lifesaver of theirs when ending up getting stuck with some unfinished essays to do. Using the service, they are able to enjoy working and studying at a same time without having to leave one of them. Still, you are able to get an A for their score.
It is custom-essay-writing.org, a service of custom essay writing that can be your workout when you are forced to work on some essays at one time. There, you can design your own essay and let the professional writer do the rest of the work.

The entryway is the first space in your home that people see when they enter and it can either set a great tone for what′s to come in the rest of your home or make people wonder if they want to keep going. Creating an interesting, attractive, organized and functional foyer or entryway can not only get people excited about being in your home but can also help you and your family be more organized, enter and leave your home with ease and feel pride in the way others will see your home as well.
If you are lucky enough to have a mudroom or utility room, you could look for mudroom benches and mudroom lockers for these particular rooms. The mudroom bench provides a comfortable seating area for you and your family to change shoes and dress up into winter gear. The bench also provides ample storage space underneath the seat for any items you wish to store. These items could include boots and shoes, other outdoor gear, or even small gardening tools. For a more comfortable sitting, you could add cushions to the seat as most of these benches are made from hardwood.

The monday was just fun catching up with my friend Conor (who reads this blog, SHOUTOUT TO CONOR!) who i haven't seen in ages! We didn't really shop as he hadn't been paid and i was just a tag along (or as i like to think, a fashion guide) for him so we just sortof walked around, got a shake and pizza. The usual. What I was AMAZED by is the new HOLLISTER it has! We actually had no idea how to get in and when we went in it was a sortof cave (with palm trees?) and was all very mysterious. It didn't feel like a shopping outlet anymore and it was amazing! I was abit nervous of taking pictures as the flash was obvious as it was dark (maybe a little TOO dark) in there so thats an excuse for the bad quality pictures.
On the Tuesday me and my lovely and oldest friend Saffy (she will probably stumble on here at some point, so ofc i have to say hello!) went into town to pick me up some tights from primark. It randomly started to rain. As soon as i stepped off the bus it was crazy weather! I found it hilarious that the guys on their little market stands were doing amazingly well with selling their polka dot umbrellas, because of the crazy weather change! Then all of a sudden it was boiling and hot, which made me and Saffy feel much better, just because packing our sunnies in our bag when the weather is rainy and cold is ridiculous. But it started shining so we whipped them out :) I also posted something to an ebay customer and we popped into TK MAXX and TJ HUGHES.
Dress - Primark, Shoes - Primark, Legging - Topshop, Bag - jumble sale (50p!!)
So this is what i wore on the tuesday (Yes, it's the outfit from the carboot!), i was going to wear heels but i didn't. I love this combo with the pumps. Nomnom.
If you've ever heard of Suzy Smith, then you will know the brand has some pretty amazing bags! The red one is £40. And i would give my left foot for it! I never spend that amount on anything, ever! But I'm very tempted, it could fit alot of things in it and I'm the type of girl that carries her life around in her bag! The second bag was a bag i saw in my local vintage shop for £30! What? It's £15 here, and brand new! Eh? are you kidding me?
I had to take a picture of all the amazingly cheap and somewhat tacky stuff in TJ HUGHES. The makeup was crappy but it was still in bucket loads and the collection of bed head and catwalk hair products was amazing and cheap! I really want to start buying them, my sainsburys own brand coconut shampoo & conditioner isn't really doing anything for me!
This week I:
Listened to - Send me on my way - rusted root (the matilda song) :')
Taylor swift - All of them, but especially you belong with me. I've fallen for her!
& Paramore - Ignorance, their new album is gonna be awessssomeee!
Lusted over - Suzy smith bags!
A gorgeous vintage jumper for £6 which I'm buying ASAP!
Cups of tea (nothing new haha)
Firefoxed - Facebooks UNO! It's crazy!
Ebay, got two new items which will be on shortly
Twitter, I'm trying to tweet often. No one cares about my tweets though haha!
I've decided on my blog I'll try and do a fortnightly what i've been up to blog! I'm also going to try and include the little tid bits about music and shops and stuff :) Sorry if you find me really boring..!
More etsy items coming shortly! xxxx

Turtle Power
Turtle Power
by Partnerz-in-Kryme
T-U-R-T-L-E Power!
T-U-R-T-L-E Power!
T-U-R-T-L-E Power!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
In a half shell, they're the heroes four.
In this day and age who could ask for more?
The crime wave is high with muggings mysterious.
Our police and detectives are furious,
'Cause they can't find the source,
Of this lethally evil force.
This is serious so give me a quarter.
I was a witness, get me a reporter!
Call April O'Neil in on this case, and
You'd better hurry up, there's no time to waste!
We need help, like quick, on the double.
Have pity on the city, man it's in trouble!
We need heroes like the Lone Ranger
When Tonto came pronto, when there was danger.
They didn't say they'd be there in half an hour,
'Cause they displayed...Turtle Power!
Now our Miss Reporter was hot on the trail.
Determined to put these crooks in jail.
She spied the bad guys and saw what happened,
But before she knew it, she fell in a trap and caught!
Yeah, she was all alone.
With no friends, and no phone.
Now this was beyond her worst dreams,
'Cause she was cornered by some wayward teens.
Headed by Shredder they were anything but good.
Misguided, unloved, they called them The Foot.
They could terrorize and be angry youths, and
They mugged the people. Who needed proof?
Then from out of the dark came an awesome sound!
Shouted "Cowabunga!" as they hit the ground.
From the field of weeds the heroes rescued the flower
'Cause they possessed...Turtle Power!
Do you stand for what you believe in?
And find the strength to do what's right?
That's TURTLE POWER!
Heroes in half shell, they're on a mission.
When there's a battle got the enemy wishin'
That they stayed at home, instead of fightin'
These ninja masters with moves like lightnin'.
They were once normal, but now they're mutants.
Splinter's the teacher so they are the students.
Leonardo, Michaelangelo, and Donatello,
Make up this group with one other fellow
Raphael. He's the leader of the group
Transformed from the norm by the nuclear goop.
Pizza's the food that's sure to please,
These ninjas are into pepperoni and cheese.
Back to the story, it's not hard to find.
Ninjas not just of the body but of the mind.
These are the words that their master instructed,
But a letter from Shredder has Splinter abducted.
That was the last straw, spring into action.
Step on The Foot, now they're gonna lose traction.
Now this is for real, so you fight for justice,
Your shell is hard so you shout, "They can't bust us four!
Like some old coffee table."
Since you were young you've been willing and able
To defeat the snake, protect the weak,
Fight for rights and the freedom to speak.
Now the villian is showin' so you take a stand.
Back to the wall, put your sword in you hand.
Remember the words of your teacher, your master:
"Evil moves fast, but good moves faster!"
Then light, shining for your illumination:
Good versus Evil equal Confrontation.
So when you're in trouble to give in and go sour,
Try to rely on YOUR...Turtle Power!

Quick Reference
Sausage-shaped organs at the tips of the leaves of certain Acacia species found in the African savannah that secrete oils and proteins as food for ants living in nests they have hollowed out in leaf bases; the ants also feed on nectar. In return for the food, the ants defend the tree from attack by herbivores and cut away parts of adjacent plants that threaten to shade the acacia's leaves.

The activities of blood donors came to a halt at the Central Blood Bank in Jabriya due to power outage, but power was restored within a short period using generators before electricity was connected again. Well informed ministry sources said the power outage in the blood bank or other places is normal, as the electricity is generally disconnected to the hospital and its utilities.
They stressed that no loss or much damage has resulted from the power outages due to availability of generators, indicating the blood bags and strategic store are not affected.

As IMA's senior vice president of operations and CFO, I interview candidates for many positions in our organization, including our open accounting/finance positions. Over the years, I've realized that the most successful candidates for any job approach the interview the way a strong salesperson handles an important opportunity.
Like a salesperson landing the deal of a lifetime, you will have to "pitch" the technical skills on your résumé—your credentials, expertise with software, and ability to produce results—during an interview for an accounting position. Here are some practical tips that can give you a competitive edge.
1. Be polite to the receptionist.
He or she is the first of many "gatekeepers" you'll meet. You'll probably need to show the receptionist or security personnel your ID—so don't leave your wallet in the car! Making a good impression on the receptionist won't guarantee you a position with the firm, but if the receptionist doesn't like you, others will hear about it, and your chances will be diminished.
2. Be on time for the interview.
Effective salespeople are never late to an important meeting. In fact, you should be a half hour early, and be gracious. The HR representative will insist that you fill out an application before anyone talks to you. Most companies use a form that asks for information not on your résumé, including salary history and reasons for leaving your previous positions.
Sometimes applicants with strong résumés balk at the application form—they want to go straight to the meeting with the executive team. This raises red flags; the last thing a firm wants is to hire a prima donna at any level.
3. Be accurate, thorough, and neat with the application form.
The form is a window into how well-organized you are and how neatly and accurately you'll handle the reporting responsibilities of the Finance team. A recruiter once told me that whenever he was interviewing for controller positions he would walk the candidate to his or her car and take a peak inside. If the car were full of piles of junk, he wouldn't present the candidate. Every salesperson knows that neatness counts. This is particularly true if you're trying to land a job in accounting.
4. Prepare for the interview.
Great salespeople invest in preparation for their meetings. The most important question I ask applicants is, "What would you like to know about our organization?" This is an invitation to engage in a dialogue and to demonstrate the work the candidate has done to prepare for the interview.
The people with the best questions are those who have researched the history of IMA, the CMA program, our global membership network, and our products and services. A thoughtful compliment about our website goes a long way. People who have clearly spent time preparing for the interview, looking at the website, and thinking about questions they'd like to ask have the curiosity and drive we want on our team.
5. Ease awkward situations to establish rapport.
The best salespeople are as good at listening as they are at speaking. Once you've made it to the interview, you may realize that the hiring manager lacks interviewing skills. Don't be judgmental; have compassion. He or she may be new to the role or may experience so little turnover on the team that interviewing opportunities are rare.
Also, many hiring managers find the interviewing process very stressful. If there are awkward pauses or if the interviewer runs out of questions for you, here is another salesperson's tip: people love to talk about themselves. Ask questions about the interviewer's own career path. Try to find out what motivates him or her and what challenges are trying to be solved. The goal is to establish rapport. Then you can turn back the conversation to the ways you can solve the interviewer's challenges.
Sealing the Deal
Hiring managers are inundated with applications every time they post a job opening. If you are fortunate enough to make it through the initial screening process to get an interview, these 5 tips will increase your chances of landing the job. Only after incorporating these tips can you effectively "pitch" your product and close the deal by showing how your unique skills and abilities are the perfect fit.
