By Ann Kelly
Let me reintroduce myself to you. You know Ann Kelly who's with you in the morning as you take a run to begin the day; as you enjoy breakfast at your desk because it's going to be another busy day; and who loves to share her love of all things for foodies in Ann Kelly's Kitchen. Oh, and then there's a lot of road trips and fun in Ann-Ventures. But the Ann Kelly I want to tell you about is the one that was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus some years ago. Of course I looked it up the minute I heard the word Lupus. I looked up quite a few things over the years. Like what Anti-Phospholipid Antibody Syndrome is. It's a blood clotting disorder that led to me leaving the studio on a stretcher after what turned out of be a TIA, or mini-stroke. That was quite actually a welcome warning shot that I needed to be on a blood thinner to avoid a full blown stroke. But for anyone who's dealing with on the more than 100 forms of arthritis that includes lupus and the resulting complications is does change your life. It may be adding more medical specialists or medications, changing the way you do things on a daily basis. All that can add up to feeling a loss of control and who likes that? Not me.
So that leads me to things I can control starting with my diet and the way I exercise. One year ago I started to train for my very first 5K. That felt amazing! But thanks to a few more things that were out of my control I wasn't able to continue the kind of workouts I had really enjoyed. And that led to a bit of a slip in the diet and adding pounds. I'll be honest with you. It made me feel very out of control and I knew I needed to start taking much better care of myself. But I needed help with making the right decisions. I have shelves full of books on the best foods for an auto-immune disease like lupus, what I shouldn't eat, a juicer for making my own healthy blends with fruits and vegetables…but putting it all together was like a jigsaw puzzle that was missing a few of the most important pieces. So now I'm finding those important pieces one by one.
The first is Charlotte Mapes, RD, LDN and the Wellness Dietitian for BayCare Fitness Center- Carillon. We've talked about what my goals are, and I know that I'm not looking for a new diet. I'm looking for a new way of life. So here we go! To start things off I'm tracking my food every day. Now that's eye-opening. Charlotte wants to make sure I'm getting the right balance in my diet of protein, fats and carbs. And about the sugar. Wow, until I wrote it all down, who knew! But that's what it's all about. Doing it right and making changes that will be a permanent part of my life. So in the last three weeks I'm happy to say there are 5 pounds that are no longer with me! If you'd like to start working on your new life, just click here for more from BayCare. You see my "before" up top. I'll keep working on the after.

Speech to mark the Twentieth Anniversary of German Unity
Today we celebrate what we achieved twenty years ago: unity and right and freedom for our German fatherland. We recall that momentous day, a day such as few nations ever see. Today all those images of Berlin on the eve of 3 October flood through my mind: the people who stood in front of the Reichstag building; the moments of tingling suspense, just before midnight; the sound of the Freedom Bell ringing; the moment when the flag of unity was hoisted; people singing our national anthem; the joy; the tears; the cohesion at that defining moment in our history. Twenty years on, this still fills me with the greatest gratitude.
For twenty years we have, once more, been "Germany, one fatherland". But what does "one fatherland" mean? What binds us together? Have we grown together, despite all our differences?
One answer to that question is immediately obvious: we have a common history on which to look back. We pay tribute to all those who made this unity possible. To the civil rights activists who resolutely stood their ground against a dictatorship. The late Bärbel Bohley was one of them. She showed that courage can move mountains and thereby gave many other people courage. "Nothing was too big for us to tackle, nothing too small for us to care about." That was one of her sayings. It still moves me today. I bow before Bärbel Bohley and all those who fought for freedom.
Our churches offered a safe haven for this newfound courage. Many people felt something had to change - but a feeling alone changes nothing. I myself must act in order to change things. And it began - with the Monday prayers and the Monday demonstrations. First it was just a few, then more and more people found the courage to take to the streets throughout East Germany. It built up to the "Miracle of Leipzig". The way it combined moral force with non-violent conduct was truly a miracle - a turning point. Brought about by people. Freeing themselves from dictatorship - without bloodshed. The people's desire for freedom had always been there, unrelenting. But now the time had come. And the spirit that had been crushed by tanks in 1953 could no longer be contained in 1989. This is the people's true historic achievement. Their courage impressed the whole world.
Without the freedom movement that was manifesting itself all over Europe, German unification would have been unthinkable. It would have been unthinkable without the Polish workers, backed by the Polish Pope, John Paul II, who himself travelled to Poland to tell them: "Do not be afraid." "Solidarnosc" gradually secured their freedom and, ultimately, also ours. It is a particular pleasure for me to say this here in Bremen, which is twinned with Gdansk. Nor would unification have been possible without Mikhail Gorbachev, who gave up the Soviet Union's claim to the right to rule over other countries, as Glasnost and Perestroika took hold, and thus enabled the people of Germany to exercise their right of self-determination. It would not have been possible without the Hungarian Government that was the first to open its borders. We received so much help from Russians, Poles and Hungarians - friends from whom we could not really expect such support, given the events of the first half of the last century.
We recall the months in which the members of the Volkskammer and Bundestag wrestled over the many small steps that would lead to German unity. What the politicians and administrations in both parts of the country had accomplished by 3 October 1990 represents an unparalleled achievement.
There were others with misgivings who were resistant to change. Abroad, especially, many asked whether it would be a good thing if Germany were to prosper again. Who could blame them, after the terror and havoc caused by Germany in the first half of the 20th century, after all the wrong turns it took.
Farsighted statesmen helped to overcome the resistance and misgivings - Helmut Kohl and Hans Dietrich Genscher, together with Lothar de Maizière. Konrad Adenauer, Willy Brandt and Helmut Schmidt had paved the way. They constantly increased others' trust in our country, in our people. Without this trust, reunification as we know it would not have happened. This was a major achievement of the politicians and diplomats in the past few decades. Reunification would likewise not have been possible in the form it took without our friends in the transatlantic alliance, who guaranteed the freedom of the Federal Republic and West Berlin for forty years. We will not forget the support for German unification shown by George Bush Senior. For all this we are infinitely grateful.
Germany was able once more, as a united country, to become an equal member of the international community. We are surrounded by friends. What a great gift for our country and for all people in Europe.
Two countries became one. This was not without its difficulties. But there was a tremendous amount of solidarity - West Germans rolled up their sleeves to help the East, offering their expertise, entrepreneurship and political experience. But it was the East Germans who shouldered by far the greatest burden of change so that our country could come together again. In a sense, they had to restart their lives from scratch, to reorganize their everyday lives, to make the most of fresh opportunities - and they did, showing a remarkable openness to change. To this day, this has not been given the recognition it deserves.
Many were able at long last to fulfil their hopes and dreams - they could travel wherever they wanted, read and study as they chose, debate whatever issues they wanted with whomever they chose. They could pursue a career of their own choice or turn their own business ideas into reality. For many others it was a long, hard struggle to make a fresh start in life. For some it still is.
Without doubt, things were lost that were worth keeping. But something of infinite value was gained: people's realization that - because of their courage to change - they were able to fashion their own lives in freedom. They added an important chapter to our German history. They turned the single Germany into a new and different Germany. They have shown us by example how to master radical change, to bring both individual happiness and cohesion to us all.
This brings us to the second answer to our original question about "Germany one fatherland". What does it mean today? Twenty years after unification, we face the important task of finding new courage to change, fostering new cohesion in a rapidly changing world. For in this world old certainties are of course popular, but they are often unreliable.
Our country has become more open, more outward looking, more diversified - and more divergent. Our lives and our life choices have been changed. You all know the reasons: global trade routes and competition; new technologies and boundless means of communication; demographic change and immigration - as well as new threats from outside. In our country differences between various social groups are on the whole growing - between the older and the younger generation, between top earners and those living at subsistence level, between those with secure jobs and those without, between people and their representatives, between people from different faiths and cultures.
Some differences give rise to fear. We must take such fears seriously. But nonetheless, it cannot be said often enough that a free country such as ours thrives on diversity, on varied lifestyles, on being open to new ideas. Otherwise it will fail. Too much uniformity chokes people's own creativity and can ultimately only be gained at the expense of freedom. Our country must be able to withstand diversity. It must actively want it. However, differences that are too great threaten cohesion.
Valuing diversity and closing divides in our society - that's what safeguards us from illusion and promotes true cohesion. That is today's task for "German unity".
In 1989 the East Germans chanted "We are the people, we are one people." This evoked a sense of national identity that had long been buried - for understandable reasons. Now, twenty years on, a new self-confidence has taken hold throughout Germany, a relaxed brand of patriotism, a frank assertion of belief in our country - a country that is aware of its great responsibility for the past and that is shaping the future accordingly. This self-confidence and self-awareness are good for us. And they are also good for our external relations, for people who like and respect their own country are in a better position to approach others.
"We are one people!" This cry for unity must today be an overture to everyone who lives here. An invitation that is not issued on a whim, but is based on values that have made our country strong. Cohesion will be attained if this "we" is understood to include everyone living here - those who have only recently arrived and those who have lived here so long they have forgotten that their ancestors, too, may have come from abroad.
When German Muslims write to me, saying "you are our President" - then I answer from the bottom of my heart that, yes, of course I am. With the same passion and conviction as I am the President of all people who live here in Germany.
I was likewise delighted to receive an open letter from a group of school pupils whose families come from 70 different countries. They all hold scholarships from a foundation that supports dedicated young people in Germany. They wrote: "It is not important to us where someone comes from, but where they want to go. We believe that we will find our path together. We want to live here, for we are Germany."
Of course, it does play a role where someone comes from. It would be a shame if that were not the case. But the key message contained in this letter is "We are Germany!"
We are Germany. Yes, we are one people. And because these people with foreign roots are important to me, I do not want them to get hurt in debates that we very much need. We must not allow myths to be created, we must not allow the cementing of prejudice and exclusion. It is in our own national interest not to let this happen.
For, as I am firmly convinced, the future belongs to those countries that are open to cultural diversity, to new ideas, to people from different backgrounds and to the unknown. Germany, with its globe-spanning links, must be open towards those who have chosen to come here from other parts of the world. Germany needs them. In competing with other countries to bring the best minds to Germany, we have to attract the best and remain attractive so that the best remain. I enjoin you all: let us not allow ourselves to be forced into false confrontations. Ten whole years ago, Johannes Rau most astutely and wisely called on us all to live together in Germany "without fear and without illusions".
We have long since turned our backs on three firmly but falsely held beliefs. We have realized that guest workers did not just come temporarily, but came to stay. We have realized that immigration has indeed happened, even though it took us a long time to define ourselves as an immigration country and to shape immigration so that it serves our country's interests. And we have realized that because of our illusions of multiculturalism we have regularly underestimated the challenges and problems, such as prolonged dependency on the welfare state, crime and the prevalence of macho attitudes, a refusal to be educated or contribute to society. I have read the hundreds of letters and emails I received on this subject. The worries and concerns of our citizens are very much on my mind, and are clearly and with good reason being taken seriously by the politicians.
And yet, we have already come further than one would think from listening to the current debate. It has long been widely accepted that people have to learn German if they live here. It is widely accepted that German laws and regulations have to apply in Germany. For everyone - we are one people.
Hundreds of thousands of people work every day to foster integration. Many - for example as integration mentors - as unpaid volunteers, out of altruism alone. Our local communities and regions can achieve a great deal when politicians and citizens join forces. We must jointly weave the net that holds our society together, in all its diversity and in spite of all its tensions.
And even if we have already come much further than one would think from the current debate, we have clearly not come far enough. We do indeed need to make progress, for example on integration and language courses for the whole family, lessons to improve people's command of their native language, the teaching of Islamic studies - in German, naturally - by teachers who have been trained here. And we do indeed need to enforce our rules and duties far more strictly - for example when it comes to truancy. That, by the way, goes for everyone living in our country.
But first and foremost, we must adopt an unequivocal stance. We need to view German identity as something that is not defined merely by people's passports, family background or faith, but is something broader. Christianity is without a doubt part of German identity. Judaism is without a doubt part of German identity. Such is our Judaeo-Christian heritage. But Islam has now also become part of German identity. As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe put it nearly two centuries ago in his "Poems of the East and West": "He who knows himself and others, here will also see, that the East and West, like brothers, parted ne'er shall be."
How did the pupils put it? It's where you want to go that's important. They believe that we will find a common way forward. But a common way also requires agreement on a common goal.
And now I come to the third answer to our original question. "Germany, one fatherland" means respecting and protecting our Constitution and the values enshrined therein. Above all, the dignity of each and every individual, but also freedom of opinion, religious freedom and freedom of conscience, equality between men and women. Respecting our common rules and accepting our way of life. Anyone who doesn't, who holds our country and its values in contempt, must expect to meet with stern resistance from us all - be they fundamentalist, right or left-wing extremists.
We rightly expect everyone to contribute what they can to our community. We do not turn a blind eye to those who take undue advantage of our spirit of solidarity. "Our social state is not a shop where you help yourself to everything without giving anything in return." This simple metaphor chosen by Judge Kirsten Heisig from the Berlin juvenile court is extremely apt. "If people are supported by the state," she wrote in her book, "the community can at the very least expect that their children will be sent to school so that they can tread a different path from that taken by their parents and stand on their own two feet when they are older."
We respect everyone who contributes something to our country and its culture. Be it as a doctor, a German teacher, a taxi driver, a TV presenter, a greengrocer, a footballer, a film maker, a minister. These are just a few examples of successful integration, by men and by women. We should emphasize these positive examples more often, and take courage from them.
We can be proud of our cultural, scientific and economic achievements. We can above all be proud of the social climate in our country - of tolerance, the ability to compromise and solidarity. Incidentally, these characteristics also helped us during the economic crisis. Trade unionists, employers and employees all showed that the strength to achieve balance, to negotiate, to find creative solutions, to stick together, to reach consensus - that's what makes Germany what it is!
New cohesion in society is only possible if none of its stronger members withdraw and if none of its weaker members are excluded. When everyone is handed responsibility and everyone can be responsible.
Anyone who has been fruitlessly job-hunting for a long time, who has to muddle through from one precarious job to the next, anyone who has the feeling of not being needed and is not given a perspective will understandably turn away from this society in disappointment.
And those who count themselves among the elite, the decision-makers and bearers of responsibility, who withdraw into their own parallel world - they, too, are turning their backs on society. Unfortunately this is precisely what we experienced during the financial crisis. No one should forget what they owe to the chance of their birth and to our country - and they should regard it as a duty to give something back to our society.
The ever increasing number of older people in our society already contribute so much of value. Many of them want to continue working past retirement age, though reducing their hours. We have to make that possible. Others do voluntary work, share their knowledge and experience; why shouldn't there be a Voluntary Social Year for older people as well as for the young?
What does a society in which no one feels superfluous and no one is rendered superfluous look like? How can those who haven't worked for many years be integrated? How can those who still do not have the same possibilities open to them as others because of disability participate?
The most successful way to strengthen cohesion is to put trust and confidence in others. People can achieve so much if someone believes in and supports them. I, too, have seen this time and time again. In our son's crèche, where disabled and able-bodied children are looked after together, there is a little boy. His parents were told that because of his disability he'd only ever be able to crawl. Now he is three and can walk. This is thanks to modern remedial care and therapy, and because his parents and the crèche staff had confidence in him and supported him, and he was able to learn from other children.
We have to start with children. Just as many people once believed in unification, although it was a long way off, we now have to set ourselves goals which seem a long way off but are achievable. No child may now be sent to school without a good knowledge of German. No child should leave school without any qualifications. No child should be left without any hope of employment. It is our children and young people who are at stake here. They are the most valuable thing we have, not least in the light of the demographic change our society is undergoing.
Some things don't cost a cent, just time and attention: spending quality time with children - and not just one's own - reading to them, listening to them. We need parents who say to their children: make an effort. We need praise and support for teachers who say we will never relent in our endeavours to encourage each individual child and to set each child on its way. We need more bosses, male and female, who say we will give the many people who have earned it a chance - irrespective of whether they're called Schulze or Yilmaz, whether or not they have children, whether they are considered too young or too old.
Many who have built a prosperous future in the face of adversity owe their success to people who helped them at decisive moments - just like that. I myself had teachers and neighbours who helped me when my mother fell ill - just like that. Hermann Gmeiner, the founding father of the SOS Children's Villages, put it like this: "Every big thing in our world only comes true when somebody does more than he has to."
"We are the people": with these four words people who stuck together brushed aside a whole regime. Everyone who chanted this slogan had cast off the feeling of powerlessness, decided they were called upon to act, and shouldered responsibility. Our children should understand our country's history and the immeasurable value of freedom, of responsibility, of justice, viewing them in this context.
They should learn how important it is to tackle the challenges of the future side by side with others. Not to make light of fears of the unknown, of the new, of competition, but to approach the future all the more spiritedly and courageously, for fear, as we all know, is a poor ally indeed.
The European Union is a wonderful model of successful cooperation. I am delighted that so many representatives of Europe are here. "United in diversity" is Europe's very fitting motto, in accordance with which we have achieved an unparalleled integration of nation states. It shows the whole world that we Europeans have learned from the bitter past. We will have to tackle the pressing global issues of the future - such as climate protection, poverty alleviation, the fight against terrorism, reorganization of the financial markets - together as Europeans. The world is changing. Emerging countries are taking their rightful places, be they Indonesia, Brazil, China, Russia or India. We Europeans must now help to shape a world order in which we feel comfortable even though our relative weight decreases. Europe is often criticized at the moment. But I will never stop championing Europe, for Europe is our future and we Germans should remain its engine.
On 3 October 1990, twenty years ago today, our country's hopes were fulfilled.
On this same 3 October, we were given a unique opportunity to make a fresh start. We made good use of this opportunity. Let us jointly take pride in what we have achieved - today and every day. We have not however finished our work. A state, a nation, is never a finished work. We've got to safeguard freedom, to seek and establish unity time and again. We've got to make everybody feel at home in our country and work for social justice - for everybody. This country belongs to all of us, from East or West, North or South, whatever our background. We live here, we like to live here, we live here together in peace - here we uphold unity and right and freedom.
We move forward with courage and confidence. The past twenty years have shown what can be achieved when we work together and, accordingly, what we will be able to achieve in the future, too. We have - in both senses - grown together and we have grown together.
God protect Germany.

For a midweek dinner in minutes, there's no need to dial up delivery. Instead, whip up one of these classic Thai noodle recipes that are tastier than takeaway.
For a Thai noodle recipe that's ready in 15 minutes, it's hard to go this classic pad Thai with prawns. Switch the prawns for chicken breast or firm tofu strips if desired.
Hailing from Northern Thailand, this lip-smacking recipe for khao soi teams an aromatic curry sauce with egg noodles and tender chicken.
After something light, bright and low fat? This Southern Thai salad is a zesty combination of prawns, pork and vermicelli noodles, topped with a tangy lime, chilli and coriander dressing.
If you've got more time on your side, try your hand at this authentic Thai recipe for Khanom Jeen , rice noodles served with bean sprouts, herbs and a luscious curry sauce.
The name may mean 'drunken noodles', but don't worry – this tasty Thai noodle dish is a booze-free zone. Instead, it's so named because the spice helps cure a hangover! Turn up the heat with pad kee mao in six simple steps.

A smoky stir-fry of thick, flat rice noodles, egg, vegetables and meat, pad see euw is the ideal Thai noodle dish for younger family members. For those who like more spice, do as they do in Thailand and garnish with pickled chillies, red chilli flakes and a squeeze of lime.
Similar to pad see euw, lard na is a favourite street snack in Thailand and Laos, coated in a thick gravy sauce for added body.

A current member of La Familia, Jonathan Vega has been Ayden Cristiano's right hand man since day one. Showing a more vicious side recently, Vega has caught the eye of ROW officials and had a very competitive match with Gino recently. Having an unsuccessful attempt at capturing the ROW Tag Team titles in a Fatal 4 way didn't deter this competitor one bit. Vega is still hard at training with his tag team partner in La Familia, and hopes that his recent showings earn him a future 1 on 1 tag match for the Championships.
Since Ayden captured the biggest prize in ROW, one thing can definitely be said: La Familia might not be too far behind.
Fun fact: Eddie Guerrero and Edge inspired him to become a pro-wrestler. Spider-man was his favorite comic book character growing up.

How long have you been training as a pro wrestler?
I have been pro wrestler for 7 years and I have been with ROW for 2.
What is a goal you currently have at ROW?
Current goal for myself and my Familia is to take over Reality of Wrestling as the most dominant group to ever set foot in the company.
How did La Familia come about?
La Familia was born when Ayden Cristiano and I came to the realization that in this business no one has your back. Familia always does. Together for just a little under a year, La Familia took claim of the Reality of Wrestling championship, and we do not plan to let it go easily.
Any parting words for the ROW Nation?
Embrace La Familia!

When you're rollerblading, there are all sorts of health issues that you need to be aware of. While rollerblading does bring a lot of benefits to the table like weight loss, higher calorie burn, and also a great waking meditation experiences, it's not without its drawbacks as far as physical effects go.
For example, if you're just new to rollerblading, chances are it's going to impact and put pressure in certain parts of your physiology that normally don't get worked out. I am of course talking about your hips, your glutes, your thighs, and your quads. Your feet also get a workout and as such, if you engage in heavy activity in the beginning, you can really feel the muscles ache.
The good news is that you only need to work out consistently throughout this phase and the muscles pretty much takes care of themselves. Whatever pain or discomfort you feel will eventually go away. You just need to work out through the soreness. This takes quite a bit of getting used to.
People are creatures of comfort. We tend to run towards pleasure and we tend to try to avoid pain. In this particular situation, you're actually reversing that normal instinct when you're actually trying to work through the pain. As counter intuitive as it may be, this actually leads to the pain dissipating. Keep this in mind because back pain does sometimes go with rollerblading.
If you're on inline skates and you're crouching a lot and you're putting a lot of pressure on your back, you would quickly realize that the muscles being impacted by your activity don't just make your lower body muscles sore but it can also have an impact on your back. If you don't know what you're doing or if you are very casual skater, you might think that this is too much pain for not enough game.
Well, you can think along those lines because rollerblading back pain as pronounced as it can sometimes be, is actually temporary so just keep things in perspective. Focus more on what you can gain and focus less on the temporary discomfort. Still, if you want to effectively deal with rollerblading back pain, keep the following tips in mind.
Stretch Properly
To minimize any sort of muscle strain, the first thing you should do is to really invest some time in proper stretching. Now, this seems like it's pretty straightforward. In fact, this might seem like it's common sense.
Well, the problem is as easy as this is to understand, a lot of Americans simply feel that they don't have enough time. They'd rather be somewhere else. They'd rather be doing so many things that's why they are always in a hurry. I completely get that and that's why it's really important for you to focus on what you gain by stretching.
Usually, when people look at stretching they think it's some sort of superfluous or excessive or really unnecessary physical ritual. I mean, after all, if you've been rollerblading for quite some time, you already know how to assume the position. You already know how to skate and you can't help but get into action as quickly as possible and forget about stretching because it's a wasted few minutes.
Well, it's easy to think along these lines. Unfortunately, when you start feeling cramps or you start feeling rollerblading back pain, you quickly realize the benefits of doing a little bit stretching before you start skating. Make no mistake about it, every minute you invest in stretching can go a long way in helping you deal with rollerblading back pain, seriously.
Stretching can be very beneficial because it relaxes your back muscles and it also strengthens the muscles involved by stretching properly the chemical signals of your muscles are prepared for the strain that you're going to up on them. This reduces the overall risk that you would develop pain on your lower back. It doesn't necessarily make it all go away but by investing some time in as little as 10 repetitions, you can make serious progress on avoiding back pain.
What kind of stretches can you perform that would enable you to be more limber when it comes to your actual skating activities? Well, you can try lying flat on the floor and then pulling your knees forward. When you do this, your knees are lined up with your chest. Try to test your chest. Next you then roll both knees from side to side. This produces the effect of stretching your back muscles. These are exactly the kinds of muscles that would be feeling a lot of stress when you're doing rollerblading.
You might also want to work on your lower back. To do this, you need to get down on all fours and simply copy a cat. You've seen a cat arched its back. Follow the same moves. It's pretty straightforward. Keep stretching and then releasing, stretching and then releasing. Keep repeating this for about 10 times and you're good to go.
The good news about stretching is that it doesn't really take much time but the benefits you get in the form of avoiding pain are tremendous. Avoid the necessary hesitation of stretching and just go through it. Eventually, you could actually turn it into some sort of pre skating habit. You feel that you're not really doing things right or things aren't complete unless you stretch first.
Just Skate Away
The second advice I could give you is just to skate away. What I mean by that is put as much pressure as you normally would on the lower back and your muscles. Now, if you stretch properly, you can go a long way in avoiding a lot of pain on this part of your body. But by simply resolving to skate away, you are actually strengthening these muscle groups. They can reach such a point of strength that you are able to achieve a greater range of motion without suffering a loss in stability as well as flexibility.
This is the way to really work on the core of your muscles and train them in such a way to help you avoid unnecessary strain and pain. You're basically training your muscles to take a shape and form that make it less likely for them to be strained to the point that you become uncomfortable. This also decreases the likelihood of pain.
A little bit of strengthening inside and outside the gym can go a long way. The best part to all to this is that you're strengthening while you're actually skating. It's not like you're doing anything extra special and you're also not going out of your way. This saves a lot of time, effort and energy. This enables you to just focus on what you're doing which is having a good time.

Looks good to me, Andre.
Foreground and tiger are both sharply focused and the exposure is good. Nice composition as well.
Maybe, in the far top right corner there is one diagonal piece of foliage which is a tad stronger than the others. But very little and I didn't notice it until I had a serious look at full screen size.
beautiful shot
Thank you both, Geoff and Christina. Not easy to get the composition right when not shooting in a natural enviroment. And who is going to tell a Tiger what to do?
Thanks for looking.

I've been stalking, I mean reading the "Capture the Everyday" meme on Adventuroo for a while now. I love it because I'm one of those people who zeros in on the background items in old pictures. You know: "Check out that old car!" "Whose dog is that?" "Look at the size of that lilac bush!". And this is a meme that encourages everyone not only to stop cropping out all that stuff, but to focus on it. This is the first time I'm participating, because I just couldn't help myself. Today's prompt is "Modern Technology" and the FedEx man just delivered my latest nifty gadget yesterday. I think I shall name him Kenny.
You will notice I may be a gadget junkie, but I am NOT a gadget hog. This is the first book being read on my new Kindle: my hubby Michael reading Sammy Hagar's new autobiography. I'm a fiction girl. If it really happened I don't want to read about it, particularly if it happened to Sammy Hagar.

One-way security doors (also known as anti-walkback systems) have been specifically designed to only allow one-way pedestrian access or egress, particularly to secure areas, such as those at airports.
The most important feature of our one-way security doors are the two interlocked doors that open automatically in the direction of traffic but, in the event of any movement in the opposite direction, the alarm will activate and the automatic security door will close and lock, preventing unauthorised movement.
We use a pedestrian direction detection system, which ensures the system is completely safe. The one-way door can be controlled locally or remotely and incorporates low energy interior and exterior LED lighting. The doors can be configured as a single or multiple corridor unit.
A popular application is use at the entrance or exit from a high security zone (eg a disembarking zone at an airport, after baggage reclaim etc), to a less secure zone (eg baggage reclaim). The one-way doors meet the security requirements for airport security doors, and are also suitable for use at seaports, train stations and other locations.

What is in a word. Every word comes with its own baggage, a little suitcase filled with connotations from past usages. What different emotions words bring to the surface by their mere mention. Think for a moment of sex, torture, obscene, and f**k. Just dwell a moment on the connections between this selection of words. Simple one and all and yet so complex in the feelings that are aroused depending on the presentation. Follow if you will over the fold to hear the possum's thoughts on these words specifically and on words in general.
According to the Oxford Dictionary sex is a noun for sexual activity, specifically sexual intercourse. Torture is the infliction of severe pain as a punishment or a forcible means of persuasion. Obscene is an adjective meaning offending accepted standards of decency; offensive or disgusting. F**k means to have sexual intercourse with. Stories about sex are forbidden in today's mainstream media as is the word, f**k. In fact any mention of sex or any words surrounding the sense of sex is often not accepted in public.
Just think about my tale of the peace vigil and the surrounding controversy. On the other hand stories about torture are accepted in the mainstream media.
Movie and TV depictions of torture draw real audiences these days. At least one cinema withdrew a movie with sexual overtones (Brokeback Mountain) and continued to show a torture movie (Hostel). Obscene pictures, writings, movies, and other presentation are restricted by various laws. The exact definition varies somewhat from location to location.
Why do we as a society see such wide differences between various words and the images they conjure? Why can we accept stories and movies about torture and decline those that concern sex? Are we so misguided about our lives that we cannot define the right of sex and the wrong of torture? Or are we more inclined to find solace somehow in the suffering of other people as they are being tortured? Why does the simple word, f**k, arouse so much animosity when presented in public? Is war not more obscene under the definition above than any measure of sex?
Justice Stewart was said to think he "knew pornography when he saw it." Apparently society as a whole today feels much the same way as people choose to view certain sorts of images and to refuse others. Even the use of language today is fraught with peril. To speak of sex is considered somewhat less than polite in society. And to speak of war in realistic circumstances is verboten.
The administration hides images of war and the returning dead Americans to "preserve the sensitive feelings of the public." Seems pretty strange that a society which allows movies like (Hostel) and its genre cannot view war images without being somehow offended. And how can a person be offended by the word, f**k, and still allow torture to be an American pastime in the prison at Abu Ghraib (graphic warning!!)? Are we so desensitized to the words and the images that we no longer care?
In my personal world words are fine as themselves. In and of themselves words are not harmful. Nor do they offer specific benefit other than as descriptors. All comes from the presentation. In my mind war is obscene and to that end its images may be suppressed if obscenity is to be avoided in public. On the other hand the images of war at least allow a public to be informed as to the reality of the situation. When the public is not allowed to see images or hear words directly describing the horrors of war, then war loses much of its obscenity.
Discussions of sex are also acceptable in my own world. We make a point of keeping much of that discussion between consenting adults without making a public show. But if a child of any age asks a specific question, the answer should be given. The same is true if that child asks about torture.
To my own mind torture should receive as great attention and definition as sex or reproduction and the rights thereof. Both subjects deserve a public airing to the end of education and elevating the one (sex) while suppressing the activity represented by the other (torture). Once again if words are not discussed in open forums, the full meaning of the word disappears.
The thoughts come to an end point at last. In the end is only the end. One more word. One more simple little word. Maybe not the most important of all, but a significant word in that the process is finished to this point. Additional reflection and extension may follow to another finality as the suitcase is opened and the baggage of these words is examined.

Welcome to Youology.
* Would you like to feel radiant with clear, glowing skin?
* Would you like to be happy with your weight?
* Would you like to rock life after 40?
Hi, I'm Jenna, and can I tell you something fab? You've come to the right place because I can help. I can show you how you to take charge and put some
Burnout, illness and unbalanced hormones crept up on me and I didn't notice the changes. It happens to a lot of us. Our weight changes. Our health changes. Our skin changes. Our mood changes. And through it all, we struggle to understand. I've
And…da da…I've packaged it all up for you so you too can take control of your weight, your hormones, and your health in midlife. You'll be able to fit your jeans or that Little Black Dress (!), kick illness to the curb and be there for your family and loved ones.
"There ARE a massive amount of people suffering from toxic overload as well as a condition I call 'Undernourished & Overfed in the 21st Century."
See that quote above? It's so true. I know I was – I still am – one of them so I did some training so I could take control.
I chose not to study as a clinical nutritionist or naturopath, but signed up with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in New York City (IIN) to learn about holistic health including nutrition and the mind/body connection – I'd studied anatomy and physiology before – with some amazing people like Deepak Chopra, Arianna Huffington, and Dr Mark Hyman to learn all of the ins and outs of what I'm going to share with you. It was fantastic, inspiring and – yep! – life changing.
When I work with you, you and I both look at your food, work, stress, hobbies, activity and relationships because it's all linked to your physicality. Nobody usually asks about all of that stuff – unless you're in therapy – and I'm not a therapist but I can take you on a transformational journey.
"I worked with Jenna for three months and was amazed at the results I got. I gave up drinking alcohol and eating sugar and, not only did I fit the jeans I hadn't been able to for a few years I felt incredible. I have received so many comments about how great my skin looks. This is my new way of being. Nothing is worth giving this feeling up!" – Alicia.

Behold, the Xbox 360 Laptop mk2! It may look a bit like its first generation sibling, but don't be fooled. This Xbox laptop is a bit thinner, significantly lighter, and has some essential upgrades if you're gonna build one yourself. You are going to build one, aren't you?
Do you think this thing is easy to build? I think I would like to attempt..
Looks like my prediction that gaming consoles are going to become PC alternatives(gaming, media centre, internet, productivity) is coming true - especially when a PS3 can be easily installed with Linux and FOSS. Wow, we sony & Linux fanboys are truly visionaries.
Now all Sony has to do is put a Cell chipped motherboard into one of its Vaio notebooks, slide in a Blu-ray R/W drive, convert GameOS to it's own optimized Linux OS ....then Micro$$$$oft and its crap Winblow$ is finally screwed.
The xbox 360 Laptop - the single device that ended Micro$oft's monopoly. Well done. I'm sure Sony's very worried.

Anselm Kiefer at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art
Posted by Dan Romascanu under art
No Comments
We succeeded last Saturday to catch the last day of the exhibition of Anselm Kiefer, without doubt one of the most important exhibitions of a non-Israeli contemporary artist to open in Israel in the last few years. The German artist is born in 1945, in last months of the second world war in the small town of Donauschingen in the Black Forest, which I visited two years ago, the place where the Danube starts its journey across Europe. Since his early days of his carer the main theme of his work was the recent history of Germany, the cultural identity and the relation between himself as an artist and his people with the past. The exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art was conceived together with the late Mordechai Omer, the former director and curator of the museum, who unfortunately did not live to see the exhibition open at the inauguration of the new Herta and Paul Amir building designed by Preston Scott Cohen.
The West-Eastern Divan is one of the works that best define this exhibition. It is inspired by Goethe's collection of poems written between 1815 and 1819, inspired by his contact with the Muslim culture and poetry. As Goethe's poems, Kiefer's work does not address directly the theme, but uses concepts and forms derived from the contact of the civilizations. On two oposite walls 27 windows each comprise snapshots of the remote 'exotic' realities of the different landscapes, flowers, sands, as a scale up wonder box in the style of the 18th century travelers collections. On the wall connecting the two are inscribed the names of the German, Jewish and Muslim thinkers and artists who created works that bridge between cultures.
Maybe one of Goethe's poems illustrates best the feeling. It seems fit to me, as it also includes the idea of turning water into crystals which connects with the esoteric alchemist tradition, another theme present in the work of Kiefer, also in this exhibition.
Minstrel's Book: Song and Structure
LET the Greek his plastic clay
Mould in human fashion,
While his own creation may
Wake his glowing passion;
But it is our joy to court
Great Euphrates' torrent,
Here and there at will to sport
In the Wat'ry current.
Quench'd I thus my spirit's flame,
Songs had soon resounded;
Water drawn by bards whose fame
Pure is, may be rounded.
(source of translation http://www.readbookonline.net/read/3242/12956/)
Ingeborg Bachman and Paul Celan are the two poets who strongly inspired Kiefer's work. The Ashflower – For Paul Celan is dedicated to the Jewish poet, born in Bukovina in 1920, then part of Romania, who survived the Holocaust to become one of the first poets of German expression who tried to cope in poetry with his own personal tragedy (much of his family including his parents were assassinated in the Holocaust), with the relation between the Jewish and German nations, with the tragedy of the Jewish intellectuals of German expression torn between their own conflicting identities.
Here is one of his most famous poems written on this subjects – Death Fugue
|Black milk of daybreak we drink it at sundown
we drink it at noon in the morning we drink it at night
we drink it and drink it
we dig a grave in the breezes there one lies unconfined
A man lives in the house he plays with the serpents he writes
he writes when dusk falls to Germany your golden hair Margarete
he writes it ans steps out of doors and the stars are flashing he whistles his pack out
he whistles his Jews out in earth has them dig for a grave
he commands us strike up for the dance
Black milk of daybreak we drink you at night
He calls out jab deeper into the earth you lot you others sing now and play
Black milk of daybreak we drink you at night
Black milk of daybreak we drink you at night
your golden hair Margarete
(translation source – http://www.mat.upm.es/~jcm/celan-daybreak.html)
Black Flakes belongs to the same cycle. The colors are mostly grey. Infinite and desolated fields are marked by structures left burnt by a devastating fire, dividing the universe in rows of symbols that cannot be read by humans. In the middle a Book, made of lead, it's content impossible to read. Lead is one of the preferred materials of Kiefer, heavy but malleable, grey and yet the alchemists were dreaming about turning it into gold.
Cain and Abel connects the theme of the Holocaust with another major theme of this exhibition – the Bible as a root of the Jewish and universal civilization. The scorched fields are present here again, but over them are imposed two skis, one ascending, one descending, almost parallel but going on opposite direction, symbol of the contradictions of the human soul and destiny since the emerging of our species and back in the original mythic space. Kiefer's works are large in dimensions, and they combine painting with materials applied that create another half of dimension, it's a tormented variant of the antic art of the basso-relief.
With Samson we are completely emerged into the Biblical story, with another thematic element showing up – the codes of the Kabbalah, inscribed in the upper-left register.
Noah deals with two of the Biblical subjects present also in other works. The myth of Noah and his arch and the image of Mount Ararat, visually described in various manners. Is the submarine in the work (applied on the two-dimensional structure) a vessel of survival? This remains an open question, as no living soul can be detected. What is sure is that a catastrophe of large proportions took place and we are witnessing the aftermath. Are there any survivors?
The Breaking of the Vessels was specially created for this exhibition, part of it during an event which was caught up by a video that can be watched at the entry of the exhibition. It's a complex work, in an almost enclosed structure. Broken glass is a painful symbol in the shared history of the German and Jewish people bringing back the memory of the Kristallnacht. Yet, the name of the work (in Hebrew Shevirat HaKelim) has a Kabbalistic significance, as the vessels of light were broken, but this is only the beginning of a cycle of personal and collective introspection, re-building and fixing of the world – Tikkun olam – one of the most beautiful symbols in Judaism.
I found the following text about the kabbalistic interpretation of the concept of The Breaking of the Vessel:
According to Luria, the ten vessels that were originally meant to contain the emanation of God's light were unable to contain that light and were hence either displaced or shattered. As a result of this cosmic catastrophe, the Sefirot, the archetypal values through which the cosmos was created, are shattered and out of place, and the world within which we reside, is composed of the shards of the these broken values. It is significant that for the Kabbalists, only 6 of the 10 Sefirot (from Chesed to Yesod) were fully shattered (Malchut, the final vessel was broken partially). Had all of the vessels, including, Keter, Chochmah, and Binah, been shattered, the universe would have been thrown back into the state of complete and utter chaos, the toho and bohu prior to creation. As it is, the three highest Sefirot, which represent Will, Wisdom, and Understanding, remained intact; only the six Sefirot representing the spiritual, moral, aesthetic and material values were broken, and are, hence, in need of restoration or repair (Tikkun). Nevertheless, the Breaking of the Vessels is a truly cataclysmic event. Will, Wisdom and Understanding remain, but all other values, particularly those embodied in the cultural and symbolic order of mankind, have been shattered. Further, while certain forms (may) remain, their embodiment in matter, is chaotic and confused. The Breaking of the Vessels is, according to the Lurianic Kabbalah, a clearing of the decks, a fresh start, and a challenge to the structures that we equate with our own civilized life. It is, in short, an eruption of chaos into the heart of our spiritual, conceptual, moral and psychological structures.
