Chef Tony Mantuano restaurant coming to Disney Springs, Portobello not returning
My suspicions were correct! I hope you got your chance to say goodbye to Portobello at Disney Springs because it has been confirmed to not be returning at the end of its originally announced refurbishment. Just like Fulton's Crab House, the restaurant will be undergoing a full make-over and be coming back with a brand new name, menu, and from the looks of it, will look a bit different as well.
The Portobello restaurant at Disney Springs closed last week for what was originally announced to be a half year's refurbishment. It was to be coming back with a newly redesigned menu featuring family-style offerings and new Italian craft beers and wines. Read the rest of this entry
EXCLUSIVE: Early review of Satu'li Canteen in Pandora – World of Avatar
On Wednesday, I had the opportunity and pleasure to be among the first to sample the offerings at the Satu'li Canteen thanks to a Cast Member preview. As you may know, the Satu'li Canteen is located in the new land, Pandora – The World of Avatar. The new restaurant is a fast-casual style offering and, from what we could tell, is located on the right side of the land. So here is our brief experience and early review! We weren't allowed to take pictures during the preview, so all food pictures are official photos Read the rest of this entry
Artist Point: A True Diamond Among Hidden Gems
Tucked away inside Disney's Wilderness Lodge behind the ever-so-popular Whispering Canyon Café is one of Disney's best kept secrets; a longtime signature dining restaurant called Artist Point. Presenting a menu of Pacific-Northwest cuisine, Artist Point is the place to go for sampling everything the West coast can give. From filet Mignon to bison, salmon to scallops. There is something for everyone.
I've wanted to try this restaurant for well over a year and we finally had that chance last week. Like all signature dining restaurants, Artist Point is only open for dinner. It opens nightly at 5:30pm and closes at 9:30pm. Our reservation was for 8, but I arrived early to walk around the resort and relax in Territory Lounge. There, I ordered a few cocktails and relaxed, enjoying the atmosphere and theming of the old west explorations. This is a great place to go if you're a bit too early for your reservation or if you just want a nice appetizer. After you walk up the ramp to the restaurant, you are greeted by two empty wine barrels and some excellent, rustic theming for the restaurant. Read the rest of this entry
The Turf Club: Bar & Grill – Another Hidden Gem
We've all heard of the insanely popular Disney restaurants located in the theme parks and even a few in the resorts. Chef Mickey's has become a staple for Guests to take their children to. The Crystal Palace and Cinderella's Royal Table at the Magic Kingdom are family traditions to dine at. And 'Ohana is one restaurant which almost everyone who has dined at raves about. But what about the more hidden restaurants? The ones which can generally be pretty easy to find a reservation for, but end up giving fantastic service and even better food? For example, have you ever dined at The Wave located on the lobby level of Disney's Contemporary Resort? One of my favorite restaurants at Walt Disney World. If you want a signature dining experience, consider Artist Point. Located at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, this restaurant has been well hidden from Guests for 20 years. However, most of their diners are repeat Guests. So much so, both the Cast Members and diners know each other by name. But we're not here to talk about these other restaurants. We're here to discuss a restaurant I've heard rave reviews about for months and finally had the chance to dine at: The Turf Club Bar and Grill. Read the rest of this entry
CONFIRMED: PizzeRizzo Opening This Fall at Disney's Hollywood Studios
The Disney Parks Blog has officially confirmed the old Pizza Planet quick-service restauarnt in Muppets Courtyard will be re-opening as PizzeRizzo! The new location will be themed to Rizzo the Rat from the Muppets who owns and operates the pizzeria with his family! We wrote about this happening in our My Two Cents column way back in November and it's great to finally see it announced! Check out the official statement below for more info.

REVIEW: Chef Mickey's Struggles to Live Up to Expectations
Chef Mickey's is one of the most popular restaurants at Walt Disney World. Reservations can be very difficult to get if you aren't able to plan 6 months in advance. Occasionally, times will become available, but usually only for very early morning or late at night. One day, we lucked out and managed to get a reservation time right at dinner time, so we decided to see if Chef Mickey's is really worth all the hype and its reputation. Read the rest of this entry
REVIEW: Morimoto Asia Has Something for Everyone at Disney Springs!
I finally had the chance to try Morimoto Asia for the first time after hearing rave reviews from Guests, friends, and family and I have to say it is absolutely fabulous. I haven't had high-end Asian food many times in my life. Normally I'm stuck with the Chinese takeout. But I can promise you, I will be returning to Morimoto Asia because there is even more on the menu I want to try. I might even try their, dare I say it, sushi. *Audible gasp* So let's get to it.
We didn't have a reservation the day we went, so we took a chance and checked in at the Host podium. It was only a 15-20 minute wait and we decided to wait because they have a great lounge space for you to relax in while you wait for your table. Read the rest of this entry
The Top 5 Restaurants at Magic Kingdom
I've been running this blog for just over a year now and have decided to finally start writing a new type of articles: lists! Everyone loves a good list of things. Whether its restaurants to sample, rides to try, the best drinks to buy, hidden gems you may not know about, or even things you may NOT want to do. One of the best things at Walt Disney World is its food offerings. From full service restaurants, whether they be over-the-top theming or signature dining, to quick service restaurants, and from lounges to food carts, everyone has a favorite! I have multiple in many locations. I can't think of a better way to start these new articles than to list my picks for Magic Kingdom's Top 5 table service restaurants! Read the rest of this entry
REVIEW: The Skipper Canteen: A Knock Out for the Magic Kingdom
For months now, I have wanted to try Magic Kingdom's newest restaurant, the Jungle Navigation Co. LTD. Skipper Canteen, or just the Skipper Canteen for short. It opened not too long ago, back in December and has since been of slight controversy among Guests in the parks and for good reason but not in a negative way! As everyone knows, Magic Kingdom is the most popular theme park in the world, that isn't an exaggeration, it is fact. It is a family oriented destination and therefore caters to that audience in every way possible, including the food. Now, in no way, shape, or form does Magic Kingdom have bad table service restaurants by any means, but up until a few years ago when Be Our Guest opened in the Fantasyland expansion, all of the restaurants pretty much featured the similar, American type fare which is incredibly family friendly. Again, this doesn't mean the food is bad, but at times, it could leave adult Guests wanting Read the rest of this entry
BREAKING: Writer's Stop to Become Sci-Fi Dine-In Lounge!
April 2nd, 2016 will forever live in infamy at Walt Disney World as D-Day when a large portion of Disney's Hollywood Studios and its attractions will close to make way for construction to begin on Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land. Among the list of attractions closing was Writer's Stop, a small merchandise/coffee shop located right next to the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater restaurant. Yesterday, Disney broke news that not only would it be closing, but it would be reopening on April 3rd at a Sci-Fi Dine-In Lounge for the popular restaurant right next door! According to WDWNT, for a limited time, Guests will be able to stop in while waiting for their table at Sci-Fi Dine-In and enjoy some pre-dinner drinks and appetizers. Read the rest of this entry

For the past four seasons, the Lake Norman girls' soccer team has not lost a game in March, going 57-0-6 in that span, including 9-0-2 this season.
Lake Norman, ranked No. 8 in the state, has tied both North Mecklenburg and Fort Mill (S.C.) but blown out the rest of the competition, outscoring its competition 51-4.
The Wildcats are used to hot starts. They have started recent seasons 15-0 (2009), 19-0-1 (2008) and 14-0-3 (2007). This year, they hope the end result and the quality of play are more to their liking.
"We don't just judge our success by wins and losses alone," coach Jon Mertes said. "We want to play the best we possibly can between the 18s (yard lines). Right now, we aren't playing our best yet."
The Wildcats have been led by sophomore Taylor Waters, the team's top scorer. Junior Jackie Weston is not far behind in goals and leads the squad in assists. But Mertes said the team has no stars, and it's the deepest he's ever had.
"We have more talent than we've ever had before, one through 18," he said. "This team is as close and tight-knit as any. I think in time, we will be playing at another level."
Just kicking it
The Statesville girls' soccer team is also off to a great start at 8-1-1. The Greyhounds, led by seniors Sarah Ann Waugh and Katie Register, are up to No. 4 in the state in 3A and lead the North Piedmont Conference outright.
Southlake Christian, No. 7 in the state, is also hot at 8-0 overall, including 7-0 in Metrolina Athletic Conference play. The Eagles, who have a win over one ranked team in Covenant Day, have outscored their opponents 36-3.
Lake effect
The Lake Norman softball team is 12-0 (5-0 in the I-Meck Conference) this season and has dominated nearly every team in its path, outscoring opponents 115-19.
The Wildcats, led by coach Bob Hall, have notched their two biggest victories in the last two weeks, beating I-Meck rivals North Meck and Hopewell.
After beating the Vikings 1-0, Lake Norman scored five runs in the seventh (last) inning for an improbable comeback win over the Titans. That gave them sole possession of first place in the conference.
Chloe Archer, Mariah McGuffey, Kayla Pine and Stacey Houser, all hitting over .460, lead a potent offense.
Titan tennis
The Hopewell boys' tennis team also is off to one of its best starts in school history at 9-2. The Titans are led by No. 1 Matt Alexander, the 2009 ME-CA 7 singles champion and a state qualifier, as well as No. 2 John David Curlis. The Titans blanked Lake Norman 9-0 Tuesday.
Going north
The North Mecklenburg 1,600-meter relay team broke a 29-year-old record March 27 at the Queen City Relays on Myers Park High School's track.
The relay squad - Briana Brazile, Lindsey Lang, Alexis Jordan and Trikeria Johnson - broke the meet record set in 1981 by Menchville (Va.) High School, with a time of 3:59.16. The same quartet also won the 800-meter relay.
MVP performers
Two of the North Neighbors area's best basketball players showed they were among Charlotte's best at the Charlotte Pro-Am All-Star Classic last weekend. Hopewell's DeMon Brooks had 24 points to lead the East squad to an 84-82 victory. Brooks, a 6-8 senior, was named MVP.
North Meck's Lauren Lewis had a similar day for the East girls' team, which won 80-72 in overtime. Lewis was named MVP for her team after scoring 15 points, including back-to-back three-pointers to open the overtime period.

Rockstar Games has finally released Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the iPhone. Priced at $9.99, the App Store edition of GTA is essentially the entire game which originally debuted on the Nintendo DS for $30 and was later ported to the PlayStation Portable. The iPhone edition of GTA: Chinatown Wars looks to be based on the PSP edition.
IGN heaped praised on both the DS and PSP versions of GTA: Chinatown Wars, awarding both titles high marks for story, action, and the sheer amount of things to do.
Chinatown Wars follows the trials of Huang Lee, a young man with a newfound taste for vengeance. His father was recently killed and while attempting to deliver an ancient sword that will guarantee his family remains in control of Liberty City's Triad, he was ambushed and nearly assassinated himself. By the time he has slaked his thirst for blood, all of Liberty City will know the name Huang Lee.
There was much speculation that Rockstar would buck the assumed $9.99 ceiling for Chinatown Wars, but it looks like the pricing model for the App Store won out over desires to charge a premium rate. However, if any game is going to convince iPhone gamers spoiled by rock-bottom prices that they really should start understanding they need to part with $10 for top-shelf games, it's Grand Theft Auto. Look for a full review on IGN very soon.

I agree with the majority of the Atascadero City Council that it needs to take a look at the issue of tobacco licensing. When almost one-third of 25 local retailers tested sold cigarettes to minors, something needs to be done.
Unfortunately, only the on-duty sales clerks are the ones who suffer from the infraction. The store owner does not.
And some on the council don't think it would be a good idea to put in place any monetary penalties on the businessman who sells cigarettes to minors. They say this isn't a good time.
This city has already backed away from enforcing its sign ordinance because it could cause a financial hardship on the local businesses. Parking requirements have been eliminated in parts of the city to encourage business development.
But business must be held accountable for following the rules that come from living within organized society if we're serious about reducing teenage abuse of tobacco and alcohol.
I would agree that teaching the negative effects of smoking should come from the home, but it is up to the rest of society to help as well. Making tobacco less available is a good place to begin.
I live near the high school and see every day how many teens are smoking. I'm surprised that the incidence of smoking is so great among teens after a couple of decades of anti-tobacco ads have appeared on television.
I see teens assemble in small groups by the bank of Atascadero Creek and in the Sunken Gardens smoking cigarettes.
Their health is at risk. We adults, as business and community leaders, should be more active in prohibiting teen alcohol and tobacco abuse.
It seems everyone has gotten tougher on the sales of alcohol to minors.
Adopting a policy wherein a businessman is fined if his store sells cigarettes to minors doesn't have to become a financial burden, as Councilman Bob Kelley believes.
If the store doesn't sell tobacco to teens, it doesn't incur any financial penalty. Knowing he or she could be held to pay a fine would help ensure a business owner puts the fear of God into his or her sales people to be very very, very careful.
I echo Councilwoman Ellen Beraud's concerns over the increased incidence of tobacco sales to teens in Atascadero. In fact, the opportunity for teens to buy cigarettes continues to go up.
Assessing a financial penalty to the business owner as well as the clerk who sells tobacco to minors is a good place to start.
I hope the majority of the council works in conjunction with the San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department to get serious about this growing abuse.

KUALA LUMPUR (April 22): Based on corporate announcements and news flow today, companies that might be in focus on Monday (April 25) include the following: JCY International, Menang Corp, Maxis, DiGi.Com, MISC, Success Transformer, Bina Puri, Ipmuda, Len Cheong, Eduspec, Tanah Makmur, Olympia Industries, DutaLand, Damansara Realty and Kumpulan Powernet.
JCY Group, one of the largest hard disk drive (HDD) component manufacturers in the world, has established a principal hub in Johor.
The group today said besides controlling the supply chain functions, the new Johor entity will act as the main decision maker for key growth strategies and manage the profit and loss of the Group's subsidiaries in Malaysia and overseas.
JCY International Bhd chairman Dr Rozali Mohamed Ali said at a media briefing that the principal hub would serve as the paramount decision-making centre for all operations of all companies within the JCY Group, globally.
JCY is the first Malaysian public-listed company to join the principal hub initiative.
Menang Corp (M) Bhd, which had reported a sharply lower second quarter net profit, has appointed chartered accountant Toh May Fook as its executive director.
The group, which is engaged in developing and renting out of properties, said Toh has top management experience in various conglomerates in Malaysia, Indonesia and China.
The 57-year-old Universiti Malaya graduate has held group financial controller and managing director positions in Roxy Electric Industries (M) Bhd, Kalbe Group (Indonesia) and Campbell Soup Co subsidiaries (China), Menang said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.
Maxis Bhd's chief said the bulk of the group's RM1.3 billion capital expenditure (capex) this year would be invested in its fourth generation (4G) Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network.
Maxis chief executive officer Morten Lundal said the mobile telecommunication network provider was focusing on price competitiveness and customer experience.
"The most important thing for us is not just to have the most competitive prices, but customer experience as well. That is priority," Lundal told reporters at the MaxisONE plan launch here today.
Telecommunications company DiGi.Com Bhd saw its net profit for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016 fall 16.7% to RM399.04 million or 5.13 sen per share, from RM479.22 million or 6.16 sen per share a year earlier.
The decline in profitability was on the back of a 7.7% decline in revenue for the quarter to RM1.65 billion, compared with the previous year's RM1.79 billion, its bourse filing today showed.
DiGi also declared a first interim dividend of 5.1 sen per share, payable on June 24.
Based on its financial statements, the lower net profit for the quarter was despite foreign exchange and derivatives gains of RM9.28 million, as opposed to a loss of RM6.09 million in the previous year.
MISC Bhd's wholly-owned subsidiary AET Inc Ltd plans to acquire the remaining 50% stake of Golden Energy Tankers Holdings Corp (GET) in Paramount Tankers Corp (PTC) for US$56.45 million.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, MISC said AET has entered into a share sale and purchase agreement (SSPA) to acquire GET's 250 ordinary shares in PTC, registered in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, located in the Pacific Ocean.
MISC said upon completion of the proposed acquisition, PTC would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of AET.
Success Transformer Corp Bhd has appointed Datuk Chua Tia Guan as chairman, following the resignation of Chiam Tau Meng due to personal commitment after a two-year stint as its head.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, the transformer and industrial power products maker said Chua, 48, is a founding member of the Special Task Force to Facilitate Business (Pemudah) in the Prime Minister's Department, entrusted to improve the business environment and enhance the national competitiveness of Malaysia since 2007.
Construction and property development company Bina Puri Holdings Bhd is proposing to list its Indonesian power arm PT Megapower Makmur Tbk on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX).
Bina Puri has an 80% indirect stake in PT Megapower, held through its 80%-owned subsidiary Bina Puri Power Sdn Bhd (BP Power).
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, Bina Puri said that PT Megapower proposed to undertake an initial public offering involving a public issue of up to 300 million new shares with nominal value of IDR100 (equivalent to RM0.0299) per share in PT Megapower.
Ipmuda Bhd's proposed acquisition of 24 office lots in ongoing development Tower Three of Maju Linq in Bandar Tasik Selatan for RM25.6 million has been terminated by vendor Maju Holdings Sdn Bhd (MHSB).
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, Ipmuda said it was informed by MHSB vide a letter on April 18 that it intended to terminate the sale and purchase agreement (SPA) signed on July 24, 2013 and the Sept 30, 2013 supplementary agreement.
Ipmuda said it accepted the termination and proposed repayment schedule scheme as provided in the SPA, and upon full repayment, the SPA would be rendered null and void.
Furniture maker Len Cheong Resources Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Len Cheong Holding Bhd (LCH), has proposed to jointly develop a 0.92 hectare of agricultural land in Melaka with Goldpeace Corporation Sdn Bhd into residential houses, with an estimated gross development value of RM6.7 million.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, LCH said its unit inked a joint venture agreement with Goldpeace Corporation, which owns the land to undertake the development.
The JV is part of the company's proposed plan to diversify its business into the property development sector.
Education provider Eduspec Holdings Bhd plans to place new shares to private investors to be identified later to raise up to RM35.36 million, mainly to upgrade its infrastructure and curriculum, as well as for working capital and business expansion.
According to its bourse filing today, the private placement will involve up to 126.27 million new shares or 10% of the enlarged issued and paid-up share capital of the company, which will stand at RM126.27 million, comprising 1.26 billion shares — assuming a full exercise of its outstanding warrants and ESOS options prior to the placement.
At any rate, the total number of placement shares to be issued shall not exceed 10% of the total issued and paid up share capital of the company, at the point of issuance.
Trading in the shares of Tanah Makmur Bhd will be suspended on Monday (April 25), pending the release of a material announcement.
The suspension was made at the request of the oil palm plantater and property developer, which also mines bauxite in Pahang.
Olympia Industries Bhd and DutaLand Berhad have proposed to dispose a 9.01 acres land, which forms part of the Kenny Heights project in Kuala Lumpur to Semanja Hartamas Sdn Bhd, for RM150 million.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Olympia said its unit Olympia Properties Sdn Bhd (OPSB) had entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Semanja for the disposal of the land.
The land forms part of the Kenny Heights development, which is a 58:42 joint venture between KH Estates Sdn Bhd (KHESB) — a wholly-owned unit of DutaLand Bhd, and OPSB — which is wholly-owned by Olympia.
Damansara Realty Bhd's subsidiary HC Duraclean Sdn Bhd has bagged a RM6.9 million cleaning contract from the Health Ministry for a three-year period from May 1.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, Damansara Realty said the tender award requires HC Duraclean to carry out cleaning services in health departments in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya.
Kumpulan Powernet Bhd (KPB) has withdrawn its proposals for private placement, consideration shares and draft circular to shareholders, in relation to a proposed RM6.9 million acquisition of sole and exclusive development rights from SSF Home Builder Sdn Bhd.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, KPB said the withdrawal was due to required amendments to the percentage ratios of the proposed project acquisition, pursuant to bourse's listing requirements which is now 31.15%

"I would like to commend one of your members of staff, Karen Lebor. She has had the kindness to support me through a quick and hassle free set up and the communication she had displayed is outstanding.
I have dealt with Karen as part of an NHS Hospital and was one of my decisions for leaving that line of work was the availability of locum opportunities I was turning down. I didn't hesitate at signing up and being loyal to Total Assist once I left the NHS.
I've been in contact with Karen on short term weekly projects (using annual leave up). I never thought for one minute it would actually feel like working for a business but Karen knows me personally she is an honest, friendly and without a doubt, one of the most approachable people I have dealt with which only secures my faith in leaving the NHS.
I wanted to put this in writing because as much as i say thank you to her I'd like others to hear it first hand too.
Kind Regards,


text: Micro links Hair extensions are individual strand by strand hair extensions that are attached onto the hair using a matching in color metal bead. This metal bead is usually lined with a plastic layer of silicone, that protects your hair from the possibility of breakage from the metal bead. The silicone also acts as a rubber grip to help keep the bead and hair extension in place, and minimize slippage. The hair used for this method is "I tip" hair. When installing, the I tip hair and a small bunch of natural hair is placed inside the metal bead and then closed shut using a special hair extensions tool. This method is the safest and most popular method for hair extensions.

National Programs
The Elder Care and Elder Abuse National Initiative
T. Diane Surgeon, Esq.
National Director of Elder Care
Our population is aging; more women are at work; baby boomers are working past retirement; others are re-entering the workforce in their 50s, 60s, 70s and many adults with disabilities are seeking ways to enhance their personal and financial independence. Medical advances, better health habits and behaviors are extending our lives; hospital stays are shorter; families are smaller and our society is more mobile. The need – the problem: fewer family members are at home to help needy relatives who want to remain at home and in the community and little to no advance planning as to how this can be accomplished. The need – the problem: a long-term health care system that provides a wide spectrum of care settings, multiple agencies and providers within our health care spectrum that do not collaborate or coordinate services for seniors or disabled adults, rendering the system of long-term support and services fragmented, duplicative and complex.
One of the primary challenges for caregivers is facing responsibilities for seniors and disabled adults with little or no warning, little or no knowledge about available services, costs involved; or no time to research alternative resources to prepare the family. Second, caregivers are challenged as they navigate the tough, complex, multiple service systems, departments and agencies that do not coordinate screening, eligibility or care assessments. Caregivers are forced to call and/or visit several different agencies, repeat their story, complete different applications and produce the same eligibility documents several times because agencies do not share client information to facilitate easier access to benefits and services.
A third challenge is the failure of seniors to prepare for their long-term care needs while cognitive and before a crisis. Most will plan for who get their assets and property after they die but few plan for what will happen if they don't die, have a stroke or chronic illness necessitating long term health care. Most seniors living beyond "retirement years" into "eldercare years" have failed to plan for this part of their lives or failed to talk to their family about their finances, true health conditions, wishes for long-term care and end-of-life preferences. This leaves family members Ill-prepared to navigate the treacherous waters of a fragmented, complex difficult-to-maneuver system for answers to "What health care, chronic care and long-term care services are available or how to get good care, whether in the home, a residential community, assisted-living facility, a child's home, or a nursing home.
The physical, emotional and financial stresses of caregiving begin, and depending on the location and needs of the loved one, may not be over for the next several months, or several years.
Public awareness, education and outreach are critical to protect elders from abuse, fraud and neglect and assist in preparation for "the eldercare journey." Legal and financial workshops and seminars are necessary to educate seniors on the importance of advance planning for long-term care so they can live a better quality of life on their own terms for as long as possible. Through this initiative, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority will impact the lives of seniors and their families throughout the country.

As the release date of their joint LP (Survival Skills) approaches, Buckshot and KRS-One have declared their single "Robot" as the official "Death of Auto-Tune" track. KRS-One made the bold statement this past week in Chicago at a Rock the Bells tour stop.
The duos lead single is a scathing critique of the deluge of Auto-Tune inspired songs that have dominated the airwaves over the last few years. The title is a direct indication of what the artists feel is a lack of human creativity and drive in urban music.
Despite this, Buckshot and KRS are quick to clarify that their song is not an attempt to piggyback off Jay-Zs Blueprint 3 lead single. The duo point out that their single was released six weeks prior to Jays through iTunes and other digital outlets.
"I dont want people to get the averaged clichéd version and thinking that were dissing people," Buckshot explained to AllHipHop.com. "What were calling out here is the biters, the people that feel like because this guy sold X amount of records doing this, that Im going to turn around and do it as well."
The group felt the need for clarification was necessary, as the past several years have seen Jay-Z release material similar to both KRS-One and Buckshot. In 2003, Black Moon released the song "Stay Real." Six weeks later, the songs sample ("Seed of Love," Little Boy Blues) was heard prominently as the musical backbone of Jay-Zs "Public Service Announcement," off the critically-acclaimed Black Album.
Back in 2001, Jay-Z seminal Blueprint album held a similar title to boogie Down Productions Ghetto Music: The Blueprint of Hip Hop. In the same year, Queens lyricist Nas would use that fact to disparage Jay-Z during their famous lyrical battle.
Aware that accusations of a publicity stunt for album sales would be leveled, Buckshot dismissed the notion and stated the focus was to give factual information to the fans. Additionally, the Brooklyn emcee explained that a "beef" would be antithetical to the purpose of the LP.
"We are not manufacturing a beef with Jay. There is no love lost," Buckshot told AllHipHop.com. "We are just merely stating facts and people can take them for what they are worth. From an artistic standpoint it is important for people to know what came first Hip-Hop was started as an option to not killing each other. We were in the ghettos and we were real f**ked up.

This maple-infused treat is making waves in the non-dairy industry.
With the increased consumption of non-dairy milks, the industry is booming with new innovations every day. While at this point we're used to options made from soy, almonds, or even oats, there's still creative beverages appearing in the dairy case.
One of the products we found and loved, to our surprise, was MALK's maple-flavored pecan milk. Made from cold pressed nuts, the creamy drink contains only five wholesome ingredients. Just sweet enough for a treat, but not too overpowering for use in cooking or baking, MALK's innovation may be the latest non-dairy milk to earn its way into our fridges (and hearts).
Our editors' thoughts:
"Yum! The pecan/maple flavor is great, not too strong."
"Very maple-y, I want to dunk pancakes in this."
"Tastes like when you finish a bowl of perfect cereal and drink the rest of the bowl."
"Killer with oatmeal or in pancakes."
"Tastes like maple pecan ice cream. Yum!"

2004 WNBA Champion Seattle Storm basketball starts TODAY!
Lauren Jackson, #15: SUPERSTAR!
This is the first year in three seasons that I have NOT been physically present at Key Arena for the Storm's opening game--thankfully the game is being nationally televised on ABC so I can watch from Most Interesting Pennsylvania. And what makes it sweeter is that they are so far beating nasty Western Conference rivals Los Angeles. The team I hate to love, love to hate. I've grown to a huge fan of the Storm and I love the league's down to earth play and non-inflated egos (nor ticket prices) and just plain good GAME with the Best of the Best ball-ahs from around the globe.
The final roster cuts have been painful, as many vets are now gone...but rookie Tanisha Wright (#30) from PENN STATE made the cut and is on TV in her Storm uniform, could that be any cooler?
The Sonics have beeen eliminated from the NBA Playoffs, thank god the Storm is rolling in....

CapsiPure Review
What if weight loss could be as easing as adding a little spice to your life?
With CapsiPure you may be able to use the power of chili peppers to boost your metabolism, burn more calories and fat, and look and feel great.
CapsiPure claims that the problem of previous chili pepper formulas has been solved. Their CapsiPure blend is surrounded by a special coating so that you can enjoy the maximum strength dose of chili extract without any of the discomfort or irritation.
So what are you waiting for? Ready to add CapsiPure's spicy formula to your diet?
Let's find out just how (and if) CapsiPure works first.
The CapsiPure Ingredients
CapsiPure claims that their weight loss success comes from the Capsimax Plus Blend. This blend includes:
• Capsicum Flower Extract- chili pepper extract, shown to turn up the heat, get your metabolism pumping, and get you burning more calories.
• Black Pepper Extract- improves the effectiveness of the other ingredients in the formula.
• Caffeine- promotes a high metabolism and increases your energy.
• Niacin- helps you relieve stress and increases energy.
On the CapsiPure website they claim that during a study, one group of participants was given Capsimax Plus an hour before working out. These participants were able to burn more calories before, during, and up to an hour after working out with Capsimax. The Capsimax participants burned a total of 278 more calories then the placebo group.
The CapsiPure Truth
The truth? CapsiPure may help you lose some weight, but I wouldn't expect anything too significant. True, CapsiPure does reference that study on their site that claims of 278 calorie burning glory, but the actual terms of the study are unclear and there are top diet pills that can actually do more.
CapsiPure may be able to help you burn more calories and fat, but what if CapsiPure doesn't work for you? There is no money back guarantee offered for CapsiPure. With such a weak formula already, why would you risk your money on CapsiPure if they aren't even willing to back up their claims? Not worth it!
CapsiPure Conclusion
If you are ready to spice things up, boost your metabolism, and shed the pounds, CapsiPure may be able to help. CapsiPure contains ingredients that should help you burn more calories then your diet and exercise program alone, but is CapsiPure strong enough to really deliver substantial results?
If you are looking for a diet pill to really help you lose significant weight, CapsiPure probably isn't it. CapsiPure has a pretty weak formula. And, CapsiPure isn't backed by a money back guarantee. Why risk your money when CapsiPure won't risk theirs?
Have you tried CapsiPure? Did CapsiPure work for you?

If you lead an active life, you have probably heard of high intensity interval training or HIIT. The premise behind this kind of training is to perform a series of exercises at 80% to 90% of a person's maximum heart rate for a short period of time – usually between 30 seconds and one minute. Rest periods in between these exercises can last as long as the training intervals.
A variation of high intensity interval training is called Tabata. Tabata was created by Japanese scientist Dr. Izumi Tabata and a team of researchers from the National Institute of Sports and Fitness in Tokyo. Tabata training can be a great way to stimulate weight loss, increase strength, improve flexibility, and build muscle. Just remember, Tabata is a high intensity work out, which means there are more chances to get injured if not done properly. If you do injure yourself, you can always come to any of our Houston and Austin ERs for 24 hour emergency care.
The Hardest Four Minutes of Your Life
The reason fitness enthusiasts love Tabata training is because it only takes up four minutes of your day, but you get in an extremely intense workout that gives you amazing results. The structure of a Tabata program is to workout hard for 20 seconds,
rest for 10 seconds, and then repeat that cycle eight times. Another attractive aspect of Tabata training is that you don't need any equipment, and you can do it anywhere using exercises you already know how to do like jumping jacks, pushups, squats, and sit ups. So you don't need an expensive gym membership or lots of bulky equipment to torch a ton of calories and get into shape.
The Best Tabata Moves
There is a plethora of moves you can do when you do Tabata training. For an amazing full body move, do burpees. To do a burpee, start in a standing position, then crouch to a low squat. Place your hands on the floor and kick your feet back so you end up in a plank position.
Lower yourself into a pushup, and then push off the ground as quickly as possible back into a standing position. For a good cardio workout, try sprinting or mountain climbers. To do mountain climbers, get in a push-up position with your hands directly under your chest and are shoulder-width apart. Next, lift your right foot off the ground and bring your knee as close to your chest as possible. Return to the starting position, and repeat with your left leg. Get more Tabata moves here.
If you are stuck in a workout rut and don't have much time, try Tabata training to get the most bang for your buck.
Neighbors Emergency Center offers 24 hour emergency care in Houston and Austin 365 days a year, and our board certified emergency physicians can treat all medical emergencies. We know you're time is important, so we will treat you quickly and effectively so you can get back to doing what you love. If you are looking for a quality emergency room with little to no wait time, come to Neighbors Emergency Center.

Marine Corps Leadership Traits - Mental Endurance
Although this story may sound different than most I must tell it because it focuses on the leadership trait of endurance. In my case it is mental endurance.
Anyone that knows me knows that during my Marine Corps Boot Camp experience I focused pretty heavily on food.
I lived for every meal that was served, breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was one of the few things you could actually enjoy although they tried their best to ruin that too.
A typical meal would begin with us lining up in the chow line.
There was to be no talking at all. Your head and eyes were to be locked in on the back of the persons head in front of you. Your eyes were not to move from the back of their head as you inched forward.
When you got to where the trays were you would pick it up and hold it with both hands so that it was in a vertical position in front of you next to your chest.
The distance between you and the person in front of you did not change as you inched your way closer and closer to the serving line.
You would not say anything to the server. You would not ask them to place it in a certain spot. You would not ask them for more. You wouldn't utter a word. You would not complain that they placed an item directly on top of another item. You would just keep inching your way through the line in a side step motion until you reached the end of the serving line.
Once at the end of the serving line you would go immediately to the milk, juice or water station and get one small glass of your choice. That would be placed on your tray and then you would immediately go to the next available seat and sit down.
Once seated you were to face your head down directly at your food tray and not look at anything else except your tray of food.
You were not to talk to anyone at your table.
You were to only eat as fast as humanly possible and then take your empty tray to the conveyor belt that carried your dirty tray into the kitchen to be recycled and used for the next meal.
During this time the Drill Instructors would be hovering over you and others while you ate, waiting for someone to violate the rules so they could be ejected from the chow hall.
Now that was the process.
Like I mentioned earlier I lived for meal time in Boot Camp! They could have served hot cardboard and I would have eaten it before I knew what it was. In fact sometimes I'm not sure what they served was food at all, but it was good enough for me.
The one thing that tasted great no matter what was the Ice cold milk from the milk machine. The only problem with the milk was we were only allowed one small eight ounce glass of it per meal.
I would sometimes dream about after getting out of boot camp I would buy one of these machines just so I could have milk anytime I wanted. Now don't laugh. I know you can get milk from cartons and gallon containers and place them in a refrigerator. The point is that the milk was just that good.
One day after going through the chow line and getting my ice cold small glass of milk I sat down and locked my head and eyes onto my food tray.
Before I could even begin to dream about a second glass of milk that I was never going to get anyway, the Drill Instructor bellowed out, "Private Covey get out of my chow hall now!"
My heart dropped in my chest! I thought to myself this must be a mistake. He can't possibly be kicking me out of the chow hall! Doesn't he know I live for this ever so brief moment to enjoy something to eat?
He can't be serious!
This time when he bellowed out he was right behind me leaning over my head, "Private Covey I said leave my chow hall now!"
"Sir, Yes, Sir!" I screamed from the top of my lungs in response.
As I stood and grabbed my food tray and began walking toward the conveyor belt to place it, I couldn't help but think about eating it and drinking my ice cold glass of milk on my way over.
At that moment I had an instant reminder of why this would not be a good idea as the Drill Instructor bellowed out one more time into my ear, "Private Covey you better get out of my chow hall right now! Hurry up! Hurry up!"
The thought of risking everything for a bite quickly left my mind! But more than anything else I couldn't believe I didn't get to drink my ice cold milk.
As I sat my tray with the milk onto the conveyor and hurried out I started thinking about my next meal as my stomach began growling.
This type of experience truly helps you grow! It teaches you that no matter what you can discipline yourself to overcome.
Each day there helped you understand more and more why everything you were put through served one huge purpose. The lesson was that with self discipline you can and will overcome anything.
In life we often have a choice between quitting or pressing on. It takes a great deal of mental endurance to overcome those difficult moments that are much greater than the above humorous story, but I will tell you that you can make it through anything with the right mental attitude! I did in much more difficult situations than this one.
Leaders find a way to move forward! That takes mental endurance!
Endurance is just one of the fourteen Marine Corps Leadership Traits!

This covers cover my ideas about dealing with parasites and zappers:
I'd start with a good parasite cleanse WITH a zapper. Many parasites are outside the digestive tract and completely unaffected by herbs. Get Dr. Clark's book, and look up what pain you actually have–ignore any medical explanation–it's mostly always wrong. Find out what infections you probably have and treat them.
Her protocol requires both the herbs AND zapper. There are worms NOT killed by zapping which are the ones deep in the intestines where the current has a hard time reaching. That's not a failure on the zappers part, that's a limitation of the access, eh? Hence the herbs. She addresses this information as well as a lot of other things. If you're suffering, you will most likely find healing in her version of why you're sick, compared to the pharmaceutical cartel's version.
Surely the cartel would never bribe or ignore the government or murder folks who get in their way, or because they hate the 'useless eaters' so much, right? I'm so sure they'd only be kindness and light when it comes to making profits. They're noted for their benevolence and largesse, right? They would have to pay well if people are willing to go on CureZone and make absurd claims about how a zapper failed them, and keep insisting that you have to actually see a worm in your stool to prove you've killed them, or that the twitching squirmy feelings are parasites when in fact it's toxicity.
Anyway, like screwing in a light bulb (electrial current from zapper) to a socket in the depths of a closet that was too far away from the rest of the wiring plus had a lot of interference with jello insulation, it's hoped that at least a little of the electricity could get thru, but never expected it to be able to light up that bulb (kill parasites) more than a little most of the time if at all, which is why you need to bring a flash light aka deparasite herbs and Black-Walnut hull. Any of the deparasiting stuff that's orally ingested can really only clean out the closet (digestive system) though, so you need the light (zapper) for the rest of the house.
The 'proof' some get so fixated on may well be because they know, just as well as we do that until the pharmaceutical cartel is removed from power, there you'll never have pictures of 'killed' parasites because the FDA goes after any seller like fiends if they dare post such things and because many of the parasites aren't in the digestive tract. So the cartel paid flunkies can gleefully keep harping on it, over and over and over, knowing the real reasons will safely prevent such inane idiotic 'proof' from ever being done.
And heaven forbid the ill person should even try adding a zapper to the mix and dare getting well. The cartel is desperate to stop that, cuz then they might get well enough, they'll need less of any 'health' product pharmaceutical or by now pretty well pharmaceutical-owned natural healing stuff. So, while OF COURSE they'd prefer you use the horrid murderous excessively expensive 'drugs', they will take the profit from any place they can.
And healthy people buy far fewer of even natural healing 'remedies' since they no longer need said remedies, so I think they have their employees on Curezone pushing the herbs approach as well and doing everything they can to stop people from even trying a zapper.
If I still had parasites that made me sick, I'd still be sick. Period. I think people using their common sense can figure that out. Any kind of proof besides that is bogus and really proves nothing.

If you want your brand to succeed, you must create a human connection with your customers. You can forget everything you know about branding. If the branding services Brisbane has to offer that you hired to handle your business' branding cannot offer an experiential connection, you're not going to succeed.
What is Experiential Branding?
Experiential branding is believed to be the single most effective strategy any brand can employ, according to the best branding services Brisbane has to offer today. You have to remember that you are selling your products and services to humans. Hence, you have to appeal to their inner sensibilities that would compel them to do what you want them to do: do business with you!
Finding a good brand agency Brisbane has to offer is the ticket to achieving that. You need to work with the brightest minds in the industry in order to craft imagery that will forge an experience. It is not just about shoving products or services to your prospects' face. You have to make them relate to the product and turn it into a cathartic experience wherein they generate emotions from it. Without that experience, the imagery and branding is meaningless because you are not compelling your target audience.
How to Use Experience in Branding
Working with branding services in Australia to generate experiential branding can be approached at in two ways. The first one is to build upon an experience. For example, you are developing a marketing strategy for a baking product or dough. Your goal is to generate a branding experience that will enable your customers to relate that product to childhood memories of baking with their loved ones. It could be a Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas – whatever that is, you need to use that as a point of trigger to bring about experiential memories. This is a crucial step in the branding process that you should never overlook because that what makes your brand more compelling.
The next approach to experiential branding is to appeal to the emotions by crafting personal and shareable experiences. For example, you can use branding services Brisbane has to offer to push through a campaign. You can showcase how your brand advocates a particular cause, such as breast cancer awareness or adoption of sick and abandoned animals. More information brand name: Hype Creations
One advertising expert once said that in the world of advertising today, cleverness is overrated and the human experience is underrated. You need to stop focusing on coming up with "clever" branding strategies; instead, focus on the human experience. It is far more compelling and the results are more lasting than doing clever things.
Without establishing the human connection between the consumers and the brand, there is meaningless engagement between the two. You might be able to generate a quick and one-off purchase from your customers. But if you want to build life-long supporters of your brand, you need to focus on experiential branding. You would not want to reduce the consumer experience into something that is commoditized. You can learn more about this through the best branding services Brisbane has to offer like Hype Creations at http://hypecreations.com.au/creative-design/branding/

I know this doesn't have to do with Korean Surgery but as a huge Shinee fan...I am feeling pretty depressed at the moment......Anyone else a huge fan as well?
Shinee Jonghyun found dead.....
I personally don't follow Kpop as much but this hit pretty close to home with me because I suffered from depression for a long time. It's a terrible thing to go through and you really need someone close by to help you along the way. I was fortunate enough to have a friend and family always comforting me but celebrities may feel a lot more isolated. Normal people won't understand what you are going through and may think its just a luxury to have an issue as him. It's really sad I hope he finds peace where he's at.. R.I.P.

text: Hello,I had no issues with it until a few weeks ago when I realized that my PC wouldn't turn on unless I flipped the PSU switch on and off. However I realized that if I turned the switch off after turning the computer off, I wouldn't have any issues booting it the next day/a few hours later...But things got a little tricky once my PC started to shut off while playing games. At first I thought it was some heat related issue so I checked my GPU (GTX 980) and CPU (I7 4790K) temps, no problems (They are both at 50/60 during heavy load). I then ran a benchmark (Superposition) to check the PSU's voltage and nothing was out of place (No values were too high/low).So next I ran a game, thinking my issue was fixed, and as soon as I began playing, my PC shuts off again... After that I have to switch off/on the PSU switch multiple time and press the power button to turn my PC on.I know this is without a doubt due to a faulty PSU, but seing how the voltage is fine doesn't seem to indicate any problems.It doesn't seem to be caused by the PSU's temperature because when it shuts down it wasn't hot at all. The fan are also running during load.I heard that it could also be caused by the motherboard, which mine is a Gigabyte Z-79P-D3. i went through some examples like Cloud overview video its great but want to now what's the issue, is it the PSUc the motherboard or prehaps something else?Thank you.

It seems as if they get garbled if Forrest is run in certain environments, but we haven't narrowed down exactly what's causing it (I've tried to reproduce it by running Forrest with various locales/file encodings, but no luck). So for now we'll just have to monitor the commits and see if they get broken again. For the old versions of the manuals, we need to get the original html files from the release tarballs and overwrite what's currently on the website to fix the encoding problems (not just the Japanese and Portuguese manuals, as Kristian mentioned). Or maybe we should rebuild them from their respective branches. I think some of the more recent manuals (don't remember which versions, will try to dig it up) in fact need to be built from the branch in order to work in Internet Explorer. In any event, the corrupted manuals need to be overwritten by good copies. > Links to Japanese manuals show question marks instead of Japanese text > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-6023 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6023 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Web Site > Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen > Priority: Minor > > http://db.apache.org/derby/manuals/index.html#latest > The links to the Japanese manuals show ??????????????? instead of the title of the manual. > Maybe some kind of encoding problem? > The actual manuals look fine to me. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

So, what is the very best option at https://memoryfoammattress911.wordpress.com/ to get a newborn? Is it an innerspring mattress or a foam mattress? I would say go for the latter but that nonetheless depends upon a great deal of things.
Specialists suggest the use of sturdier and firmer mattresses with integrated edges. By doing this, your infant can get the assistance he or she greatly requirements. A plush and super soft mattress prevents them from creating simple movements. Reports also state that a soft mattress contributes to a condition known as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
In between innerspring and foam mattress, foam mattresses are firmer. Visco elastic foam and latex are great choices. They offer a supportive mattress surface. If you decide to go for just about any of those, pick one that is not too firm. A semi-firm mattress that can still cushion the lower a part of their body is really a great option.
With either mattress, you need to pick one with a density of four lbs. This way, there is a balance in comfort and support. Also, your baby can still really feel cradled.
The downside to this mattress will be the price. The adult mattresses for these are fairly costly so the infant mattresses would be the exact same. That is why numerous still go for innerspring mattresses.
This can be a less expensive option. It could also offer support so long as you are getting one that has not been integrated with a lot of springs. The more springs integrated, the softer the mattress will get.
Lesser springs mean they are considerably thicker. This really is to create up for much more space within the mattress. In this way, it could provide a supportive mattress surface. Pick one that has sturdier edges. With sturdier edges, the mattress will still provide the right quantity of assistance even when they move near to the edge of the mattress.
You also need to think about the brand you're obtaining. Choose one from a dependable brand. Within this way, if you have problems using the mattress, the manufacturing company will help you solve the issue.
Ponder on these issues when you're looking for a good mattress for your newborn infant. In the event you have your baby's comfort and assistance in thoughts, you can be vigilant with your choices.

======= ======= ====== ====== ====== ===== ==== ====== ====== ===== ==== ======= ======= ====== ====== ====== ===== ==== ====== ====== ===== ====
So you've decided to join a gym. Good for you. Whether it's CrossFit, Gold's, or a $10 a month shithole that some glory days football player from your high school decided to open up in a storefront that used to be a Payless in the strip mall, the first step is signing up. And the second step is going. I know, it's hard to work out once you've gotten out of the habit, but every time I feel too hungover to cause further pain to my body, I remember how wrestlers talk about how while Ric Flair was always the last guy at the bar, he was always the first one at the gym in the morning, sweating out the poison. And whatever is good enough for The Nature Boy should be good enough for you. Just make sure you're not an asshole about it. Here are some tips, guidelines, and advice on how to get jacked like never before.
Yoga pants might be the greatest clothing innovation of the 20th century. Any time I don't feel like going to the gym because I decided that Bulleit Rye was a great substitute for food and water from the hours of 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., first, I think about The Naitcha Boah! WOOOO!!! Then, I remind myself that there's going to be gym babes in yoga pants at the gym. I'd say 90 percent of gym babes wear them. And of that 90 percent, 70 percent of those gym babes have squatted to perfection gym butts, stuffed into snug black packages, on display with total disregard for your accidental wandering eye while you're conveniently doing cable crosses which happen to face the mats where the gym babes in yoga pants tend to frequent. And there's no need to STARE like a psycho. The yoga pants are everywhere. Just relax your eyes and let them come into view naturally, like a gentleman.
Don't feel like looking at gym babes' butts in yoga pants? Fine, stay home on the couch with a sack of Taco Bell, thinking about how disappointed Ric Flair would be in your lack of commitment.
Yes, it's the gym, and certain smells are to be expected. However, it's hard enough to choke back the dry heaves caused by whipping around a kettle bell while some filthy pig reeks like rotten tacos, ass juice, piss, a dead, homeless guy's armpit, or fucking mildew. There's nothing worse than some moldy asshole who keeps using the same towel for months on end, or who wears the gym clothes he put away wet in his bag last week. He walks around smelling like the 100 load beat off rag your freshman roommate kept under his bed.
No. Who are you, Michael Douglas in "Wall Street"? Don't be a fucking asshole. No one wants to hear your conversation about whatever stupid shit no one cares about while he or she's on a torture rack. It's grueling to listen to. Go the fuck outside. Better yet, leave your phone in your car. "Sorry I didn't pick up the phone, I was at the gym" is a great excuse to get out of anything. Maybe even better than, "Sorry I didn't pick up, I have diarrhea."
Jesus Christ. Stop. You look like a sick fuck who can't keep his yoga pants viewing under any sort of control.
A lot of those gym babes in yoga pants tend to also rock sweaty, cleavage-inducing sports bras up top. While it seems really hard, you must resist the urge to go eyeball fishing down the booby hole, because you're going to get caught. "But she obviously wants guys to look," you might say. Maybe, but not in every case. A lot of those gym babes have yoked up gym dudes with them somewhere in the building who have enough testosterone pumping through their veins to crush your skull with one of their shriveled up 'roid nuts or tiny yet muscular dick that made them feel the need to get so jacked in the first place.
Check out some videos of The Rock on his Instagram, gettin' all blown up. Yeah! The Rock makes it look fun, and he's big as fuck. Now get in there, lift heavy and hard, shut your mouth, and know your role, jabroni!
The first day I went into the locker room at my gym, I accidentally locked eyes with a man who was blasting a blowdryer up his asshole. Thing is, my gym doesn't have community blowdryers. And this man was bald. And that means he brought his own blowdryer from home, just for his asshole. He has an "asshole blowdryer." That image will never leave my brain. Ever. While I've seen far worse things in my lifetime, it was the accidental eye contact that I'll take to my grave.
There is nothing more private than a man's workout playlist. It's yours and no one else's. You put whatever you need on there to get the job done, no need to be "cool" about it. This is the time to really connect with your soul. I currently have some sick combination ranging from The Geto Boys to 3 Doors Down to Tool to Volbeat to The Goo Goo Dolls to Kelly Clarkson to P!nk (lots of P!nk) to Nickelback (fuck you, I don't care) to Motley Crue to Third Eye Blind to The Brock Lesnar Theme Song George Michael to the obligatory AC/DC. And remember I'm writing this so I kept that list the least embarrassing as possible.
Don't get one. Gym time is an easy time to let your brain wander to "fuck thinkin'." Think "baseball."
Why do I go to the gym? I don't like antidepressants, but I probably should be on them. Hurting myself with weights releases natural endorphins as a replacement. I don't treat my body very well with the booze and other unmentionables I put in it. I figure lifting weights and exercising might at least even me out. I go five days a week, and if I miss a day, I feel guilty. That's my honest answer. But don't get me wrong, last night after the gym, I bought two double cheeseburgers from McDonald's, removed one of the buns, and made a four-banger for "protein." Jack LaLanne I am not.
Maybe you want to slay some extra trim. Maybe your crank is small. Maybe you hate your family. Or, maybe you just like muscles. Everyone has a reason, but I think my favorite is this quote from Henry Rollins' "The Iron."
The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.

Today's Daily Prompt:
For many of us, winter is blooming into spring, or fall hardening into winter. Which season do you most look forward to?
Every season is different. And beautiful.
Winter is a dead season. Nothing is growing, nothing seems to be able to survive. And yet it's so full of life. When the temperature hit -15 C only a few weeks ago our garden was bursting with life. Sparrows sat on the fence, fighting over who could get a bit of food. Blue tits, great tits and robins flew off and on for peanuts. A great spotted woodpecker tried to make a hole in the fence. A Eurasian Jay came to visit for bread.
Winter makes me feel down. The darkness, the lack of sunshine makes me long for the summer. But when the sun is shining, the temperatures are quite low and ice is covering the canals I couldn't be more happy. I love skating.
Spring is the time where everything starts to get green again. The days are getting longer, the temperatures should be/is rising and things start to grow again. This is when my blood starts to rush a bit more. I'm planting all kinds of seeds, hoping for them to produce some crops in the summer. I'm making plans for the garden in hopes that this year I'm really going to do it.
Summer is what I love. The warmth of the sun on my skin. Heading out without a jacket. The shorts, the shirts, the skirts.
But at the same time I dislike the sun. Due to my illness I'm having a hard time driving in the sun. I can only drive with sunglasses on. This means I have to be carefull when I leave the house. Do I have them in the car? In my purse? Or did I leave them on the table? I can't leave without my sunglasses, ever.
The extreme heat we sometimes get makes me sleep bad. I lie awake for hours, tossing and turning, longing for the winter cold. The mosquitos that somehow manage to get into the bedroom are driving me crazy and I get up many times to zap them with the electric fly swatter.
But the same heat that makes me lie awake for so long is bringing thunder and rain. Cool, soothing rain. Lovely thunderclouds that seem to be traveling in the wrong direction. Majestic black skies.
Autumn is when I have to prepare the garden for winter again. Leaves start to fall. And not like the picture we think of when we hear the word autumn. No. They simply turn brown and fall off. No gorgeous reds and yellows. Browns and blacks is what they turn to. I have to harvest the last crops just before the frost hits. Most of the years it means it's 25/30 C one week and -5 C the next. No smooth transition, just BAM! Winter. So much rain, so much wind.
Each of the seasons has its charms. Each of the seasons has its disadvantages. What do you like most?

Strategies & Insights
Risk Management Strategies
C-Risk views risk management as a process that follows a systematic methodology. We work collaboratively with clients to identify and quantify risks to develop a client-specific risk profile.
A key factor in this process is assessing a client's risk appetite. Is a client a risk-taker or are they risk-adverse? Does a client prefer to assume or retain the risk burden or transfer the risk contractually or through the use of insurance or other risk financing mechanism?
To be considered is whether a client prefers to execute their projects using direct risk-transfer, making it a contractual requirement for the other party to have contractor-provided insurance, or do they prefer to use owner-furnished insurance, project-specific insurance, or an owner controlled insurance program, aka, a wrap-up program.
Holistic Risk Management
An integrated methodology for addressing the challenge of managing risk
Risk Management Methods
Wrap-Up Strategies
C-Risk specializes in the formation and implementation of wrap-ups, both owner-controlled insurance programs and contractor-controlled insurance programs. However, we tend to focus more on OCIPs.
We provide strategic insight on the preparation of wrap-up insurance program feasibility studies, designing wrap-up program structures, and with implementation requirements for wrap-up administration processes and procedures.
C-Risk provides objective advisory services. We are an independent risk management consulting company and wrap-up expert. Our independence and unbiased input are critical in the structuring of a successful wrap-up insurance program. C-Risk does not have any conflicts because C-Risk does not directly place the insurance.
Building a Better Wrap-Up
A key success factor is Control. Having an experienced Wrap-Up advisor on your team is critical
Wrap-Up Feasibility
Risk Financing Strategies
C-Risk provides practical advice on alternative risk financing options for augmenting a traditional insurance and risk management program. Some of these options include the use of large deductibles, as well as other self-insurance methods such as captive insurance, reinsurance, and parametric insurance instruments.
Several of these risk financing techniques are recommended for clients who are are more knowledgeble in economics, finance and statistics, and skilled in probabilistic risk analysis as a decision-making tool.
C-Risk can assist in identifying certain risks that are viable candidates for using alternative risk financing. We collaborate with insurance and financial professionals, and with insurance brokers for designing and structuring a variety of alternative risk financing programs.
Alternative Risk Transfer
Transferring risk outside the traditional insurance-based model may be an option
Non-Traditional Programs

December 3, 2014
Whitehorse – The 2014 Northwestel Festival of Trees concluded over the weekend and successfully raised $530,000 for the Yukon Hospital Foundation in support of quality health care in the territory.
The Festival is the Foundation's annual signature fundraising event and has partnered with Northwestel as the title sponsor since the benefit's inception twelve years ago. It brings together hundreds of sponsors, volunteers and businesses to raise funds for Yukon hospitals.
The Festival included activities that give the entire community an opportunity to celebrate and take part in the season of giving. The event kicked off with the ever-popular Capstone Mining BAH Humbug and Skookum Asphalt Santa Breakfast. Season's Eatings Coffee Break delivery presented by Outside the Cube with support from Air North, ran during the week of the Festival. The Multicultural Community Open House also welcomed more than 700 Yukoners to a showcase of local talent amidst the magical trees and wreaths donated by local businesses. The Festival was capped off with the glitter and glamour of the Seniors' Soiree and Alkan Air Grand Ball.
Christmas trees were sent to Johnson Elementary School in Watson Lake and Robert Service School in Dawson City, along with craft supplies for making ornaments. Students from Johnson Elementary are decorating their trees on Thursday, December 4th and students from Robert Service School are decorating their tree on Friday, December 5. The trees will adorn the schools' halls until winter break, when they will be moved to the community hospitals for the holidays.
Proceeds from the Northwestel Festival of Trees and the annual Direct Mail Appeal will be directed towards equipment identified by doctors and nurses that will improve patient safety, comfort and care from the moment they enter the hospital. The Yukon Hospital Foundation Direct Mail Appeal will continue through to 2015. One hundred percent of all donations made through the Direct Mail Appeal will go towards the purchase of hospital equipment.
"Community support has been fantastic," said Yukon Hospital Foundation Chair Curtis Shaw. "Our volunteers and community participation, along with our corporate sponsors have once again made the Festival a great success. This generosity makes a tremendous impact on health care delivery in the Yukon. I would like to thank everyone involved in making this year's events a success."
