Meet Erin Kortum
Certified Nutrition Coach and CrossFit Trainer
Bachelors in Sports and Health Sciences

CrossFit Level 2 Trainer
Certified Nutrition Coach
"Everyone has the ability to write their own story. My goal is to help you write a story you are excited to tell."
Hi, I'm Erin founder and owner of Be Greater Nutrition. Welcome! Chances are if you are here you are ready for change. Awesome!
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. You can't out exercise a bad diet.
You're probably saying to yourself right now, "But Erin, I workout so I can eat whatever I want.". Boy, how I wish that was true! The reality is for most of us to get the results we want, exercise is not enough.
This is where a nutrition coach comes in. My goal is to teach you how to make your food work for you, not you working off your food.
My own journey with nutrition and fitness allows me to relate to my clients on a very personal level. That's right! I'm a real person with the same types of roadblocks and struggles many of my clients experience. I've been out of shape. I've had weight to loose. I've had muscle to gain. I've struggled to stay motivated. I'm busy. I don't always make time.
When I say I get it, I really get it!
This program is different. This is not a diet. This is a lifestyle.
A common sense approach to eating a balance of quality food to reach your goals. We give you the tools and the support, you do the work.
The typical macro counting nutrition program only gives you the numbers to hit and the rest is up to you. We take it further. We want to reconnect you with REAL FOOD. You will create healthy habits which will last beyond the short term goals and create a balance between aesthetics, performance, and health for the long-term.
One of the awesome things about having a nutrition coach is the support you receive and it isn't always about food! Developing a relationship with your coach is important. So, let's get to know each other.
If I'm not coaching at the gym you can usually find me in the barn with my dog, Huck, and my horse, Tate, or tackling one of many DIY projects. My husband and I love DIY. We aren't afraid to tackle some big projects! A complete gut and remodel of our current home and renovating a 35+ year old barn are some of our largest projects to date. Currently we are tackling a ground up renovation of a 1970 31′ Airstream. She doesn't have a name yet so suggestions are welcome!
In addition to coaching (CrossFit and nutrition) I am a professional photographer. In recent years most of my photography projects center around my own business but I still take on one or two outside projects a year. You know, only those projects that really let me stretch my creative side 🙂
I'm a wife. A mom to a fantastic kid, 3 dogs, and one horse. I drive a big diesel truck and I can pull (and backup!) anything you want to attach to it. Someday I want to live in a tiny house (on a few hundred acres). I would rather buy tools or equipment (a skid steer is top of my list) than clothes, shoes, or jewelry. My idea of getting dressed up is not wearing gym or barn clothes and slapping on some mascara. I'm a total introvert who dreams of being an extrovert. I have more ideas than time and I would love to have 24 more hours in a day. I definitely don't have it all figured out but somehow that ends up being the best part.
I am passionate about what I do and my goal is to help others change their lives with nutrition and fitness. I am so glad you found your way here and I look forward to getting to know you!

AOA's Seolhyun Dishes On The Toll Comeback Prep Had On Her Body
On May 16, AOA held a showcase for their fourth mini album "Good Luck" at the Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin.
During the showcase, AOA members dish on their time in Guam shooting the music video for title track "Good Luck" and preparing for their comeback.
Seolhyun talks about the toll that the comeback preparations had on her body. "It was a short trip. In a span of three days, we had to do the [album] jacket and music video simultaneously. Over the three days, I don't think I even slept an hour in total. In the hot weather, I returned with a cold."
Member Hyejeong shares, "It was our first time filming a music video overseas. It felt like we had gone on vacation. The weather was also so good. We filmed the group scene on the beach. It was difficult to dance because our feet kept sinking [into the sand]."
Yuna adds, "The members got all very tan. We tried to whiten up once we got back to Korea."

Containing the new in-house-made Caliber B03 automatic split-second chronograph movement, the Breitling Navitimer Rattrapante adds an uncommon complication to the Breitling Navitimer Rattrapante Replica Watches UK, and a complication that I don't think I've previously seen from the brand.
Breitling further explains that the rattrapante mechanism module is produced using an efficient 28 parts and is designed to be totally removed – and if needed, replaced – to facilitate easy servicing. Further, Breitling Replica Watches claims that while the B03's split-second chronograph has been specially designed to use parts which are simpler to produce than more historic rattrapante models, this also provides the mechanism with more precise and reliable use.
Rattrapante chronographs are a bit difficult to explain without demonstrating them. The idea is that a main chronograph is supplemented with an additional chronograph seconds hand. A pusher in the crown is used to activate this additional Cheap Breitling Fake Watches chronograph seconds hand, which can be used to independently measure a one-minute interval while the main 12-hour chronograph is in operation. Prior to digital devices these were clearly a bit more useful, but in today's "technique-eager" luxury watch world, lots of people swoon over mechanical technology such as this.
The Breitling Caliber B03 Replica Watches UK automatic chronograph movement is COSC Chronometer-certified and operates at 4Hz with a power reserve of 70 hours. The movement features the time, date, and 12-hour chronograph with split-second "rattrapante" functionality. Otherwise, this is very much your traditional Navitimer dial, only in brown. The design comes complete with a slew of markers and indicators, including the famed rotating slide-rule bezel for making various mathematical calculations only people in extreme emergencies will rely upon.
To launch the caliber B03, Cheap Breitling Replica chose the 45mm-wide Navitimer watch with the brown dial in two case materials: steel, and 18ct red gold as a limited edition. The brown dials are matched to padded brown crocodile straps. Though Breitling will also offer the Navitimer Rattrapante on a leather or rubber strap.
To be honest, I'm not always sure who the target demographic is for split-second chronographs. It is a special sort of watch collector who values both sport Breitling Replica watches and high-complications – but in the same timepiece. Breitling does well to reassert their design and production strengths with this new version of the B01 series movement as the B03.

First, your message was entirely advertising spew with little basis in reality. I would like to see your "client independent" solution work with lynx. Heck, your "client independent" solution won't even work with my version of Netscape of IE! Second, you have to learn not to shout. Writing half of your ad in ALL CAPS makes it look really cheap. Third, you make it sound like this is just some company you happened across and you liked their products. This doesn't seem to likely to me. Interesting that the "CTO" of this company is listed as being Kevin J. Kiley and your email address is email@example.com. It is beyond rude to pretend to be a third party that just happened across a product when, in fact, you have some relationship to the company. Fourth, this compression scheme doesn't appear to be as efficient as gzip. Fifth, you claim that this removes the need to store two copies on the server, elimiates all problems with search engines, etc. Bullshit. It only works if the client happens to support the crap it needs to decode it, plus you are missing the fact that few search engines will index a page based only on META tags any more. All your compression scheme does is declare "all clients will support this, period". Gee, I can do that today without any need for some silly program. So, to summarize: now you know that this false testimonial crap isn't wanted here. This is not a public forum, and if you can't live with it then get out.

Meticon Bikes has long held down the commercial strip between SE 59th and 60th, even when it was a lonely part of Foster, joined only by a rarely used and dusty antique shop and mostly closed Salvadoran restaurant.
Times have changed, though, and Foster appears more accommodating—or just more appealing—to new businesses. And this little commercial strip may just be a microcosm of the funkiness that may be Foster's burgeoning small business environment. First it was Nayar that helped anchor the block with Meticon, bringing consistent business, serving up good food, and making an effort to pretty up their space. And they did.
Renaissance Guitars joined the party shortly thereafter, and they, too, have made the space look less ramshackle than it did just a year and a half ago.
Now Green Noise Records is set to open, essentially bookending the commercial strip with Meticon—Nayar and Renaissance filling out in the middle. And what once could have been condemned by the city, is now a remodeled building with new windows, doorway, and slightly (a lot) less lean and decay.
And word is, it might not be just records they'll be slingin' inside; the backspace of the building could (may?) become a chocolate shop. That's still just rumor, though.
The transformation remains intact, chocolate shop or not. And so far there are no fancy frappacinos or high-priced condos. So that's good.
Oh, for you Green Noise fans…they're scheduled to move in this Wednesday. Not sure if they'll be open that day, but it should be soon.

Custom Residential Glass in Cedarburg and Milwaukee, WI
Everyone has their own individual reasons for installing window glass in their homes, but each of us has a common goal: to save money wherever possible. Investing in window glass now saves you money down the road on other expenses. It's also an excellent method of adding personality, capturing natural light and increasing the feeling of space in a structure.
Let There Be Light
Turn off your electricity-draining light fixtures and start enjoying the beauty of the natural light produced by the sun. Not only does sunlight trump artificial light in beauty, but it also creates the illusion of space. If your home or office is located near particularly beautiful scenery, allow yourself the ability to look out on it each day by calling on our technicians to install a window facing that direction.
Energy Efficiency
Installing window glass will not only give you an extra vitamin D kick in your life but it will also decrease the demands on your power sources. Window glass that is properly installed will also lessen the demand on air conditioning systems. On breezy days, cooling off may be as simple as opening up a window and allowing the wind to circulate through your rooms.
Increase Your Home Value
Installing new windows or replacing old ones is a great way to increase your home value. If you anticipate selling your home in the next few years, replacing the windows can help the house stand out in the market and raise its value before you list it. Homebuyers appreciate homes with modern and up-to-date amenities, and new windows not only improve marketability but also allow you to ask a higher selling price.
Solid Construction
At Economy Glass Inc., our quality window glass products are made from solid, fracture-resistant materials that will last you for years to come. These sturdy windows allow you to select a look that evokes the same look and feel of your existing ones. You're sure to find something for you in our huge selection of windows from easy-to-clean double hung windows to our wide bay windows.
Free On-site Inspections
Before you invest in our durable window products, allow us to provide you with a free on-site inspection, especially if this is your first time with us. During this inspection, our window technicians will measure your potential window spaces and make professional recommendations based on the properties of your home.
Get Started
When considering the numerous reasons to invest in new window glass, you'll find that it's really a no-brainer. Do yourself a favor and call us today to get started on your window installation. You'll enjoy the longevity, energy-efficiency and light-increasing properties for years to come.

The Stanozolol hormone can be one of the few anabolic androgenic steroids women can use safely; while it is not the absolute mildest in nature for a woman it is up high on the list. Issues regarding the steroids hepatic nature as well as its effects on lipid profiles remain the same with women but the female athlete must also necessarily be aware of virilization. For the female athlete, the Winstrol side effects revolving around virilization will be the most concerning as such effects can destroy a womans femininity. Common virilization effects include a deepening of the vocal chords, body-hair growth and enlargement of the clitoris. The majority of women who supplement with the Stanozolol hormone, if they keep the dose low and use for very short periods will be fine. If you are a female Winstrol user and you begin to notice virilization symptoms simply discontinue use and you will be fine; nothing will change. It is when the symptoms are ignored, use is continued and the symptoms are allowed to set in that many women develop a problem; remember, man or woman responsible use is always your best friend.
Of concern to any user of Winstrol during a cycle should be its intoxicating effect on the liver . The drug is a 17aa structured steroid , meaning it has been structured in a way which allows it to be orally bio-available, yet this has the negative effect of making Winstrol potentially harmful to the liver. It is therefore paramount the duration of a Winstrol cycle is limited, the dose of the drug is not excessive, the user does not stack it with other hepatotoxic compounds, does not drink alcohol whilst on cycle, and does not use Winstrol if they have an underlying medical condition which effects the livers health. There are supplements available which also help protect the liver (Milk Thistle, Liv-52 etc), and these would be advisable during any Winstrol cycle .
Please note that we don't sell steroids to people under the age of 21 and it's your responsibility to make sure that steroids aren't illegal in your country. We strongly oppose the anabolic steroids abuse or any illegal or banned substances usage. Our main purpose is to bring you legal steroids to help you achieve your bodybuilding goals. All steroids for sale contain only ingredients that are well established dietary supplements and contain nothing illegal or banned. Currently our pharmacists are working very hard at creating the perfect steroids cycles and blends to provide you with the most powerful legal steroids sale ever.

Sidebar: Tested Texas Stands Tall At Qwest Center
Dec. 13, 2009
By John Fey
Special to NCAA.com
OMAHA, Neb. –– The Texas women's volleyball team knew coming into the regional here that it would face the challenge of three other Big 12 teams, including the host school, Nebraska, and its legion of vocal fans. Longhorns coach Jerritt Elliott wasn't relishing the prospect of playing at Qwest Center Omaha.
"When I heard Omaha had one of the regionals," Elliott said, "I said that is not the site I wanted to go to."
So to get ready for a possible trip to the Omaha Regional, the Longhorns gained experience at other large venues.
"We played in some tough matches to prepare us to be on the road for a really long time," Elliott said.
The Longhorns will hit the road one more time for another large venue in Tampa, Fla., where the Final Four takes place. Texas advanced to the NCAA national semifinals for the second straight year and will meet 11th-seeded Minnesota at 7 p.m. EST Thursday at the St. Pete Times Forum.
Second-ranked Texas overcame a rowdy pro-Nebraska crowd by beating the Huskers in four games Saturday night.
"It just means I have another week with my team," said standout senior hitter Destinee Hooker. "I'm looking forward to this week. It's a blessing."
Hooker, the regional's most outstanding player, pelted the Huskers with a match-high 18 kills on 40 swings. Teammate Juliann Faucette chipped in 14 kills as the Longhorns (28-1) ended seventh-ranked Nebraska's season at 26-7.
"It means everything," Texas setter Ashley Engle said of advancing to Tampa. "I feel the same way as Destinee. I love this team. I think we've gotten everything we deserved. I think we embraced (Omaha). Now the Final Four should be our reward."
Elliott, whose team lost just to Iowa State this season, asked his squad for one more extraordinary effort against the Huskers.
"I challenged them that they would have to be the best mentally all year long," he said. "And they responded. They could have folded."
Texas responded by hitting .342, the highest opponent hitting percentage Nebraska had allowed all season.
Nebraska coach John Cook complimented his team's fans and the Longhorns as two of his players broke down emotionally after the match.
"The crowd was great," Cook said. "They were trying to will us to win this match. They were awesome.
"But Texas played great. Big-time players step up, and Destinee played well. I think that was the biggest difference in the match."
Cook had a prediction for the title game, which takes place next Saturday night, both from team and individual standpoints.
"I think (Texas) will play Penn State in the final," he said, "and you'll see (Penn State star) Megan Hodge and Hooker in a great match."
Others among Saturday night's crowd of 9,253 couldn't disagree about Hooker's mark on the match. She had four of her team's five aces to go along with 18 kills.
"She's a special player," Cook said. "I thought we did some good things on her. We slowed her down. I thought our game plan was good on her. She hurt us with her jump serve.
"We'll see if she can get it done and win a national championship."
Hooker's coach heaped high praise on his All-American.
"She's been huge for us, not just on the court but off the court," Elliott said. "Her play is spectacular. She can hurt you on contact. She's a winner, and she knows that. She's a key component for us to be successful."
In addition to Hooker being the regional's most outstanding player, Engle and Faucette joined Iowa State's Victoria Henson, Sara Ammerman of Texas A&M and Nebraska's Kori Cooper and Sydney Anderson on the all-tournament team.

This awe-inspiring giant stands as tall as 2.5 m (8 ft) and weighs up to 360 kg (800 lbs). These highly intelligent predators sit at the top of the food chain and are known to have an excellent sense of smell.
Once, Grizzly Bears inhabited the entire west of North America and the Great Plains. Today they can be found in the wilds of Canada and Alaska and only about 1,000 remain wild in the continental U.S., where they are protected by law. Every year, dozens of Grizzly Bears congregate by some of Alaska's remote rivers, as the salmon run upstream for summer spawning. They feast on the fish and collect necessary fats to last the long winter hibernation ahead.
The Kings of the Continents – Grizzly Bear 1oz Silver Coin shows a coloured image of a Grizzly Bear roaring against an engraved backdrop of wilderness. The coin is encased in an elegant themed box which slides open to reveal the coin nestled in a black velvet interior.
The uniquely numbered certificate of authenticity sits within the packaging.
Coin Highlights:

- Limited mintage of only 5,000 coins
- Niue legal tender

In the market Thursday we had a big short squeeze in oil with a corresponding squeeze in stocks as most of the the trading algos are keying directly off oil futures right now. It started early on and to give the squeeze a little more kick they sent out Fed hawk Bullard to make some dovish comments. Is this a second try to make an S&P 2000 backtest run or did they just throw the breaks on the downtrending market long enough to clear off some of the short interest and we simply resume the downtrend tomorrow?
click on image to enlarge
Looking at the two sixty minute bar charts above, we can see that today's monster squeeze did not break the S&P nor the NASDAQ out of its recently steepened downtrending channel. Everyone will be watching to see if they can put two up days together, or even better, three. We will see...

to complete Reports of Non-University Activities (RNUAs) may sometimes hold
appointments at institutions outside the University or have outside
employment. These individuals are required to report the time spent on the
outside appointment in the past academic year (retrospective reporting) as well
as to request time for the upcoming academic year (requesting prior approval).
To use the calculator to determine the time to report OR the
time to request, you'll need to input four values:
If you do not know your appointment percentage, check your notice of appointment through NESSIE.
University appointment period
If you do not know your appointment period,
check your notice of appointment through NESSIE.
outside employment appointment percentage
If you do not know the percentage and work
at another institution, check with that institution.
If you have other outside employment such
as self-employment or freelance work, consulting for a company, working
part-time in retail, or a start-up company, enter 100.
number of hours you work per week at the outside employment
If the number of hours per week varies,
please make a good faith effort to estimate an average number of hours per week
during your University appointment period.

The Beautiful Catalina Island Beaches
Catalina Island has a lot of nice features, but when you come to an island, you better believe the beach is the number one attraction! The Catalina Island beaches are breathtaking! Here the water is blue and the skies are sunny, always culminating with calm, Mediterranean temperatures and a beautiful sunset. There are actually a few beaches in the Catalina Island area. For starters, let's discuss the Avalon area.
The city of Avalon is only one square mile in size, but it still boasts the finest beaches in all of California—and arguably all of the Pacific. The surf is generally calm around Avalon, because it is on the protected side of the island. These Catalina Island beaches are sandy and deep, perhaps a steeper drop off than normal. South Beach, Middle Beach and Step Beach are found in the area. South Beach is a small area with a retaining wall and steps. The beach is known for its surges whenever the tide comes in . In fact, the current is strong enough to discourage children from swimming in it. However, it is an ideal place for fishing and snorkeling.
Relax and unwind on the spectacular Catalina Island beaches
Step Beach is found north of the Green Pleasure Pier. It is even smaller than Middle and South Beach and has a deep drop off into the ocean. Weston beach is best accessed by boat. Why? This beach requires a 14-mile hike from Avalon. Once you get there, the beach is well worth the effort, as it is possibly the most beautiful of all Catalina Island beaches.
Lastly, there is the Descanso Beach. This is the most popular Catalina Island beach site in the area, and is the only beach that accesses a seaside bar and restaurant. The Descanso Beach Club has a romantic atmosphere ideal for weddings and get-togethers.
Come enjoy yourself on the beach! You can even camp out and sleep an entire night in this year-round summer climate!

Black To The Future
Lighting and visual innovators Painting with Light were approached to design a special feature for the current 'Black To The Future' art exhibition, which is being organised by art collective Het Labo and staged at the C-MINE cultural centre in Genk, Belgium.
The environment is a redeveloped coal mine once the pulse of local industry, now tastefully restored and again serving the community meaningfully as a cultural centre and creative hub for media and tech-related companies and the LUCA School of Arts.
The Het Labo logo is a lighthouse … so, it was a no-brainer for Luc Peumans and his Painting with Light team, who decided to imagine a 'real' lighthouse utilizing a high-powered beam luminaire and one of the two former mine head elevator shafts that still dominate the C-MINE site.
A Vari*Lite VL6000 Beam was chosen to deliver the power and projection needed to make the installation impressively high-impact.
The luminaire was specified by Luc himself and is positioned on top of the tallest of the two mine heads, 63 metres in the air. The fixture was supplied by Belgian Vari*Lite distributor Face, who were very happy to partner with Painting with Light for the project.
The beacon-like VL6K Beam is perfect for the application and can be seen for many miles around on a clear night, adding interest, attracting people to check out the expo … and prompting numerous chats via social media channels!
The luminaire has a large 14" front aperture and utilizes an exclusive new Philips ellipsoid reflector array system to produce a unique retro style searchlight effect with a tight, intense, high-output collimated shaft of light at 6.5°.
As well as needing to be bright and punchy, the light had to be easily portable enough for two people to carry all the way up the access stairs and secure it at the top of the mine shaft!
The project is being managed for Painting with Light by Wouter Verhulst.
The VL6000 was programmed by Painting with Light's Jeroen Opsteyn using a grandMA2 Wing, and the show is played back each night by an ELC showSTORE controller that automatically activates the lighthouse beam at 10 p.m., and turns it off again at 2 a.m.
The Black To The Future exhibition runs for the whole of July, featuring the work of over 100 international artists from different disciplines … and involving the colour black!
The metaphorical connections between the exhibition theme and the coal mining heritage of the area has brought an extra resonance to the project, and apart from this, the Painting with Light team is also very pleased to be working on another art related project.
"Art is an inspiring creative area and we love working on projects like this, where our specific field of art can be used to highlight, combine, contrast and be symbiotic with other forms and media" commented Luc, adding, "It's also an amazing experience to see the mine shaft being energized in this contemporary context".
This also follows on from Painting with Light's work at this year's Venice Biennale, where Luc has created a lighting scheme for 'Protected Paradise', a striking, 12 metre high, mixed media installation created by Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen.

During his packed Thursday night show at Carrboro's Cat's Cradle for the opening night of the 2009 Signal Electronic Music Festival, D.C. rapper Wale welcomed a special guest to the stage: Wearing a leather coat and, as Wale noted, Jordan 3's, Durham's Grammy-winning producer 9th Wonder ambled onto the stage, greeting the hometown crowd before mentioning Back to the Feature, his long-awaited mixtape with Wale. Neither Wale nor 9th offered a definitive answer as to when the tape would finally be available, but the pair did reveal more details about 9th's contribution to Wale's forthcoming Interscope debut, Attention: Deficit, due later this year. The track includes Def Jam soul singer Chrisette Michele. Excited to hear that.
After Wale launched into a diatribe about saving hip-hop, 9th brought the crowd back around by "introduc[ing] a friend of mine who came out here to work with me for a coupla days." The guest, Mississippi rapper David Banner, had been lurking in the shadows at the back of the stage in a green Adidas jacket and thick-rimmed black spectacles.
Slowly growing but sustained applause suggested the crowd's skepticism that Banner—a rap superstar—would simply be hanging out backstage with up-and-comers in a small N.C. club. "What the fuck did I tell you? What did I tell you about bringing motherfuckers to my show, dog? Mississippi, don't be comin' to my shows, 'Hey, what's up?'" Wale joked, calling Banner by the state of his birth. "9th, we gonna talk after the shit. I'm gonna play North Carolina again. Don't be bringin' niggas to my show that's more famous than me, dog. I'm on my motherfuckin' Kanye West shit, dog. This is my ego."
Banner was making one of what he says has been several recent trips to work in Durham with 9th Wonder. He suggested to one fan that he's recording an entire album with 9th Wonder, but Banner—a cordial sort with a wide grin suiting his reputation as a philanthropist—couldn't confirm that on the record quite yet: "The thing about 9th Wonder is that I have been successful and he has been successful before we even worked together, so we don't have to worry about money or selling a lot of records," Banner explained after the show. "That's how folks used to make music back in the day."
Banner's optimistic about the future of hip-hop right now, too, saying that he thinks the worldwide economic downtown will cleanse the industry of some of its gimmicks and hacks: "Music is purging itself right now," Banner said. "The talent will rise."
If you've got your Google Alert honed in on the Durham educator and beatmaker, you might've heard about this collaboration via an intriguing set of videos capturing the two in the studio (including a look at 9th's Little Brother and RUN-DMC T-shirts). Check them below. Also, see Aychkay for more video from and words from last night.

Arsene Wenger hits out at Liverpool over lack of Premier League success
Social media has a lot to answer for when it comes to putting additional pressure on football managers, but Arsenal fans have a point considering how long it's been since they've won a Premier League title.
But Wenger shares an unhappiness with Arsenal fans. Maybe he's even unhappy with some of them.
Despite Arsenal's lack of success over the past 10 years, Wenger still believes it is the best club in the world.
So disillusioned he would make a fitting feature on Arsenal Fan TV.
Wenger said: "For me Arsenal is the best club in the world and what we have built is absolutely remarkable, not only on the results front but on the values that this club, what we have built. Of course a football club is about winning, it's as well about values.
"Nobody talks about that anymore but sport is as well about values and I think integrity, respect, humility, togetherness are very important qualities and if you would visit our club you would see that they really exist on a daily basis. That is part of what I am proud as well.
"You can basically say that if you don't win the championship it is not a successful season and I can understand that but you take clubs like Liverpool and they have not won the Premier League, they are a big club."
Many reports suggest Wenger will sign a new deal at Arsenal but we still await confirmation.

Fascinated By Feathers.
They are just so incredibly beautiful. The colours, the sheen, the variations, the texture and that incredible softness. These are natural colours, no dyeing involved here, though some dyed feathers are really interesting. Because we are working on making accessories with hand dyed cloth, I thought I might like to dye feathers, too. It looks really very simple, a combination of acid dyes and alcohol, as feathers may not be boiled, too delicate. I'm wondering if that combination would work on cloth and fibres, too...much less steam in the studio...
These particular feathers are ideal for fascinators, and I'm designing one around them right now. The dark areas in this photo read as dark brown or black; they are, in fact, a beautiful green. Subtly beautiful; Mother Nature really knows what she's about, doesn't she?

A USA Today investigation uncovered thousands of unnecessary surgeries around America last year. USA Today looked through government records and medical databases and concluded that 10-20% of surgeries are performed unnecessarily in certain specialties. Public attention has focused on unnecessary cardiac stent surgeries, but actually a number of other specialties have also been plagued by unnecessary surgeries.
Some other common operations that may not be warranted by the medical facts are spinal surgeries, angioplasty, pacemaker implants, hysterectomies and cesarean sections. The Journal of the American Medical Association reviewed records for 112,000 patients and found that, in a surprising 22.5% of cases, there was no medical evidence to support installing an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, for example.
Similarly, Surgical Neurology International looked at 274 patients with back and neck complaints in 2011. More than 17% of these patients were told they needed surgery although they had no neurological or radiographic findings to show necessity.
Late last year, the New York Times reported that a common and popular orthopedic procedure, called arthroscopic surgery, didn't work any better than a fake operation in helping patients. The knee surgery was intended to help people with a torn meniscus, which is a piece of cartilage that cushions and stabilizes knees. This operation is performed an estimated 700,000 times per year with a cost of $4 billion.
Why would these unnecessary surgeries be taking place? There are predatory doctors that authorize surgeries that are not necessary and bill insurers for these operations. However, there are also a number of doctors who are not competent or informed enough to realize that there are comparable non-surgical alternatives that would serve the patient better.
More than 1000 doctors around the country have settled or closed medical malpractice claims involving allegations of unnecessary or inappropriate procedures. About 50% of these included allegations of death or serious permanent injury.
The scope of these problems is huge and likely underreported. Although hospitals are required to report surgical errors and infections, they are not required to track the error of calling for surgery without good reason. There is no governmental tracking of procedures that are unnecessary. The reason this should matter more to Maine consumers is that the consequences of surgery can be problematic. If a surgery isn't necessary, those consequences can be avoided. Nicked nerves or arteries that cause disability or surgery-related infections or complications can have dire or fatal outcomes.
It can feel overwhelming to realize that doctors don't always make the right call about whether a patient should have a procedure done. What can you do about the problem of unnecessary surgeries as a consumer? First and foremost, you should research the procedure that a doctor wants to perform. Look up the procedure and risks associated with it on the Internet. Ask your doctor as many questions as you have, including the question of what would happen if you forego the procedure. If you suspect a procedure is not necessary, get a second opinion from another specialist.
If you have been hurt or a loved one has been killed because of a doctor's error, you may need the help of an experienced personal injury attorney to aid in recovering the compensation you deserve. At Briggs & Wholey, our knowledgeable attorneys are available to answer any questions you may have. To schedule a free consultation with an experienced advocate, please contact Briggs & Wholey, LLC at (888) 596-1099 or through our website today.

Automotive engineering is a department of mechanical engineering that concerns the design, improvement and manufacture of automobiles, trucks, bikes and other motor vehicles. Automotive engineers additionally design and test the many subsystems or components that comprise a motorcar. I was advised by a Priest to electronic mail Dr aluda by way of [email protected] for a powerful and highly effective love spell that can deliver him again inside hours, the priest recommended Dr aluda as a result of he has been tested and trusted for 20 years. Although I was afraid at first, as a result of I do not want to harm anyone, but I seen too that Dr aluda love spell is just not harmful and it worked completely.
The model and design of the Mannequin A introduced Ford into the modern period with a vehicle that seemed more like a car and fewer like a horseless carriage. A media frenzy was also stirred when the Mannequin A came out, and shortly after it's release, demand for the automobile was exceeding the supply. By June 1930 the Ford automobile plant was making round 9,200 cars a day.
Conclusion: Therefore the study and preparation of report on the constructional particulars, working principles and operation of the Automotive Steering Techniques is completed.

This eliminates the necessity for the mechanic to give attention to areas that he or she might not be trained in. Finally, a team of workers allows all the group to share the workload, which might be sure that no single individual finds him or herself overworked regularly. Turkey, Poland, Hungary, Mexico, Chile, Korea. Discover that more developed countries have increased PPP. So we can say that, Reliving previous expertise in our reminiscence is the resurrection of neuronal activity from the previous.
On this module you'll give attention to combining theoretical ideas and user expertise design with the practical hands-on" approaches broadly utilized by engineering industry. It will enable you to to use the data you may have gained on the course to unravel engineering problems present in trade, select acceptable strategies to solve issues and show awareness of the constraints of computational strategies.

9 Most Fascinating Monuments Around The World : Here in this beautiful world so many things to see and some of them are ironic. Whether it is a natural wonder or an architectural site, these famous landmarks are definitely among the most recognizable in the world. Everybody knows the most famous cultural monuments in the world. A monument is a type of structure which has become important to a social group as a part of their remembrance of historic times or cultural heritage, or simply as an example of historic architecture. Here we provide you 9 Most Fascinating Monuments Around The World.
1Neuschwanstein in Bavaria, Germany
Neuschwanstein Castle is situated on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. It is a nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival palace. Ludwig paid commissioned the palace as a retreat and as an homage to Richard Wagner. He paid for the palace out of his personal fortune and of extensive borrowing, rather than Bavarian public funds. The palace is a personal refuge for the reclusive king, but after his death in 1886. it was opened to the paying public immediately. Since then more than 1.3 million people visit annually, with as many as 6,000 per day in the summer. The palace has appeared in several movies and was the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle and later, similar structures.

Miss USA Rima Fakih Plays The Field
26 comments:
She is gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Yeah, she is really super pretty. And Carrie Prejean or whatever her name is was a loser.ReplyDelete
I disapprove of all of these whores.ReplyDelete
she kind of remind me of kim kardashian lolReplyDelete
Hey :)ReplyDelete
....im just glad she's from MI, Ha. She's cute. Oh and HA @ the golfer, ain't it always the small thangs in life that pretend to be the biggest lol? Yup. Have a groovy weekend.
Heard about her practicing both Islam and Christianity altogether which doesn't make much sense to me. Nah, the chick don't fly. Hahaha.ReplyDelete
she loks amazing ^^ReplyDelete
Soo pretty. Love her eyes :)ReplyDelete
Ohh these pageant queens. Haha but she is beautifulReplyDelete
This girl is beautiful, I'm glad to see someone that's from another race/ethnicity too. Your joke on the Arab terrorist is too funny.. but of course it's a serious matter :P Wow I wish the MAC stores here never run out of stuff..ReplyDelete
I glad none of the more repressive Islamic sects have issued threats against her for wearing mainstream clothes.ReplyDelete
wow she is gorgeous no matter what she is in! go USA :) heheReplyDelete
Anna Katrina
I think Ms. Fakih is gorgeous. I don't really care if she did a stripper dance or was actually a stripper at one point (although I know she wasn't a real stripper or else that would have come out quickly). I think it's a bit too much to expect young beautiful ladies to have such a clean "angelic" slate anyways....like politics I don't really care if they're cheating on their wives because that's their business and not the publics. I know a lot of people will disagree with me on that...ReplyDelete
That being said I honestly think the judges made sure an Arab girl would win the contest this year to gain public favour with all this USA and Iraq war that has started a lot of discontent between the two nations.
Arab women are some of the most stunning women in the world, in my opinion. I've met quite a few in high school and college. Rima is obviously no exception. Love these photos! xoReplyDelete
i saw those photos on tmz and i was like uuhhmmm its not too bad lol. and i think she's suuuper hot! I was like whoa, verrryyy niiice and my bf was like, "she's aiiight" lol.ReplyDelete
Agreed, a lot of Arab women are amazingly gorgeous and here is a prime example. It's cool that she's not a Barbie type.ReplyDelete
She is hot isn't she!ReplyDelete
She is pretty!ReplyDelete
She looks great !ReplyDelete
she looks gorgeous. the uniform looks awesome in her.ReplyDelete
she's divine to me. different , but cool.
I didn't know she won :P
oh and... not quite fully back in blogging mode :P but I TRY :P
She's beautiful!!ReplyDelete
She's fab..look at her eyes! love her :DReplyDelete

Michelle and I became the Artistic Directors of the American Theater Dance Workshop four years ago this August. Prior to that, we spent our careers working in ballet companies, on Broadway, TV and film and Michelle spent 6 seasons as a Radio City Music Hall Rockette. Our goal was to bring our unique understanding of what it takes to become successful in the business and the arts to Long Island. We met in Paris doing West Side Story and fell in love – we were engaged almost immediately and spent the next two and a half years working together, on tour and on Broadway. 25 years later – we still share a dynamic work ethic and passion for the arts. Michelle and I were very fortunate to learn from, work with, and share the stage with some of the greatest names in the history of Broadway: Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse, Michael Bennett, Gwen Verdon, Hal Prince, Bebe Neuwirth, Debbie Allen, Patti LuPone, Andy Blankenbuehler, Sutton Foster, Matthew Broderick, Brian Stokes Mitchell and so many more. Together we performed in over a dozen Broadway musicals including Jerome Robbins' Broadway, Guys and Dolls, How to Succeed…., Kiss Me, Kate, Curtains, Seussical, the Musical, Dream - the Johnny Mercer Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Sweet Charity, Gypsy, 42nd Street, On Your Toes and Anything Goes as well as touring the US and abroad. We have both worked as directors and choreographers, dance and fight captains, swings, producers and advisors. We've also taught in college programs and in classrooms across the country. Because of our experiences and our relationships we directly inherited this art form and learned it must be shared from generation to generation – the stories, the history, must be passed down or they're lost. Our passion and our attention to detail is what gave us our careers and it's what makes our studio so unique. Technique cannot be faked. It is what gives you the freedom to dance any form of dance with confidence and style. We are committed to sharing our experiences and connections to the ballet and Broadway communities to make your child's experience second to none. Ballet to Broadway – building careers one step at a time. Please join us! #TrainTeamVivona

Essex title cuffs and hat badge.
I bought these for my brother as he was an Army Cadet back when we lived in Essex.
The cuff titles are WW1 but I am not sure if the hat badge is from the same era.

SBC Solutions
SBC Solutions
A session border controller (SBC) is a device regularly deployed in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks to exert control over the signaling and usually also the media streams involved in setting up, conducting, and tearing down telephone calls or other interactive media communications.
Early deployments of SBCs were focused on the borders between two service provider networks in a peering environment. This role has now expanded to include significant deployments between a service provider's access network and a backbone network to provide service to residential and/or enterprise customers.
The term "session" refers to a communication between two parties – in the context of telephony, this would be a call. Each call consists of one or more call signaling message exchanges that control the call, and one or more call media streams which carry the call's audio, video, or other data along with information of call statistics and quality. Together, these streams make up a session. It is the job of a session border controller to exert influence over the data flows of sessions.
The term "border" refers to a point of demarcation between one part of a network and another. As a simple example, at the edge of a corporate network, a firewall demarcates the local network (inside the corporation) from the rest of the Internet (outside the corporation). A more complex example is that of a large corporation where different departments have security needs for each location and perhaps for each kind of data. In this case, filtering routers or other network elements are used to control the flow of data streams. It is the job of a session border controller to assist policy administrators in managing the flow of session data across these borders.
The term "controller" refers to the influence that session border controllers have on the data streams that comprise sessions, as they traverse borders between one part of a network and another. Additionally, session border controllers often provide measurement, access control, and data conversion facilities for the calls they control.

Huge congrats to Lance (also known as Ducky) who is our Athlete of the Month for February! He has been with us since the inception of CrossFit Access and is a very well known figure in our community! But that's not why he has won the title of Athlete Of The Month…. This is the man that will stay back after class and put all the kettlebells back in order, he'll make sure all the wall balls are colour coordinated on the rack and is always keen to lend a hand helping put other peoples gear away for them. Aside from that over the last few months the dedication and commitment to his training and nutrition has forged an amazing transformation both mentally and physically and I reckon this masters athlete is at the top of his game!
Name: Lance Catchpole
Age: 53
Occupation: Administration Officer
How long have you been at CrossFit Access? 4 years
What do you enjoy doing outside of CrossFit? I love my cricket and football. I love going to the movies and Live Shows.
What is your favourite and least favourite movements or WODs? Favourite movements: Tidying up the wall balls and dumb bells (LOL!!!!) and Running and Hero WOD's.
Least Favourite movements: Burpees, Wall Balls and Thrusters
What your biggest achievement so far? I have had a good 18 months of doing CrossFit and seem to be getting stronger.
What are your future goals? To get Double Under and HSPU in the next 12 months.
Tell us something we don't know about you? I am a hopeless romantic especially when it comes to Danielle Steel and Barbara Taylor-Bradford mini-series on TV.
Who's your box buddy? I would have to say the 5:30am class each day.
Why did you start CrossFit? I fell into CrossFit by accident and I was doing a boot camp session down at Scarborough and the business was closing. I had a 1 on 1 session and asked Adam if he was available to do 1 on 1 sessions to keep my fitness up and this started in early 2012. He was unfortunately transferred to Melbourne for a period and knew the owners of two CrossFit boxes and joined one of them.
What do you love about CrossFit Access? I love the coaches and support and encouragement from them and support from other athletes.
Any advice for anyone just starting their CrossFit journey? Do not be put off by what people say about CrossFit and investigate for yourself and find a box that makes you feel comfortable.

Fabri‐Kal Senior Materials and Development Engineer Dave McIntosh lead a dynamic interest session titled "Myth Busters: 'Green' Disposable Packaging" to help eliminate confusion surrounding "green" packaging. Kalamazoo, Mich. (July 20, 2011) – Last week, industry representatives gathered in Dallas, Texas, to attend the 53rd annual National Association of College & University Food Services (NACUFS) Conference. The annual conference consisted of a product and services showcase and featured workshops and interest sessions lead by foodservice professionals and industry experts.
During the conference, Fabri‐Kal Senior Materials and Development Engineer Dave McIntosh lead a dynamic interest session titled "Myth Busters: 'Green' Disposable Packaging" to help eliminate confusion surrounding "green" packaging and encourage college and university food and beverage directors to make the best choices for their operation and exceed customer demands. McIntosh, who has an extensive packaging background, provided his expert perspective on raw material sourcing versus end of life disposal options and their relative carbon footprint impacts. McIntosh explained there are many factors associated with choosing the best packaging option. "Operations are faced with many factors when choosing the packaging that's right for them and, in order to exceed customer demands, it's imperative to understand the various aspects that should be considered," McIntosh stated. "Life cycle assessments of packaging and end‐of‐life disposal options available to an operation should be evaluated. These factors need to be weighed agains functional requirements, image, customer preference, local and regional circumstances and politics. Every program will have to find the solution that meets their unique needs," McIntosh explained. Additionally, McIntosh clarified several misconceptions that exist within the industry regarding disposable foodservice packaging.
Following McIntosh's presentation, a question and answer panel discussion featured college and university participants including Michael Davy (University of Notre Dame), Nancy Levandowski (Iowa State University), Rick MacDonald (University of New Hampshire) and Dean Wright (Brigham Young University). The panel of experts expanded on topics such as how end‐of life disposal options have influenced their choice of foodservice packaging, economic factors and considerations that have influenced their programs, and efforts to educate and engage students in lessening the environmental impacts of their operations.
NACUFS attendees had the opportunity to visit Fabri‐Kal's booth during the conference where the company featured Greenware® cold‐drink and portion cups, cup inserts for easy grab‐and‐go food combinations and Indulge™ dessert containers made with 20 percent post‐consumer recycled PET plastic bottles.Fabri‐Kal is committed to clearing up misconceptions and has implemented a "No Greenwashing Pledge" that vows to deliver facts regarding its disposable packaging solutions.
