Latte cardigan
I followed the instructions to the letter and found that the neckline was very floppy and just a little too wide. It's more obvious in the picture below. The pattern calls for 9 stitches to be cast on for the button and buttonhole bands. But that was just too much.
So what am I to do?? Frog the collar and the button/buttonhole bands and reknit the whole darn thing. Instead of 9 stitches I made the bands 7 stitches. I also incorporated 8 knit togethers (evenly spaced through out the neckline) on the row after picking up the stitches for the collar. Much happier. The collar is definitely less wide and floppy. Now I have to find 3 buttons and block the cr*p out of the rolling button bands. I'm sure it's a design feature but it's annoying me. Sorry for the crap photo but it's been pouring in London during today.
Pattern notes
Pattern - Kay from Rowan 40
Yarn - 6 balls of Rowan Big Wool in Latte, pattern calls for 7 balls
Modifications - described above. I also don't think I'm going to put in the leaves from the pattern.
Overall - pretty happy with this knit, especially with the weather turning decidedly wintery!!

It looks like a nice snuggly sweater, especially when it's chilly outside... probably perfect for your climate. Curl up with a cuppa tea and relax!

Love your cardi! I must admit I hadn't even noticed it in the mag, but I think it looks great on you. Are you going to add the loops too? It looks great without also, so I'm curious.

I could soooo snuggle in to that! Isn't it strange how the weather can change our current works in progress or pattern choices? I have down-tooled (or needled!) on my various WIPs and am currently charging through Wooley from Noro Unlimited to keep youngest daughter cosy too! Am using the Cascade 220 from my stash pile and love knitting with it ... am now a Cascade convert :)

The main facts in regard to the origin, course, and function of the nerves to the internal generative organs, were established by Langley and Anderson (1). They found that, in the cat and rabbit, efferent fibres to the uterus and vagina come from the third, fourth, and fifth lumbar nerves, "run by the white rami communicantes to the sympathetic, and nearly all of them run then to the inferior mesenteric ganglia. From the inferior mesenteric ganglia they proceed by the hypogastric nerves. The efferent fibres are motor to the muscular walls. The effect on the uterus and vagina is more constant in the rabbit than in the cat, though in both it varies with the state of the uterus with regard to parturition. In the cat, pallor of the uterus, with little or no contraction, is not infrequently seen." "In no part of their course have the lumbar nerves, in our experiments, shown any inhibitory or vaso-dilator action on the uterus or vagina."

I read the strangest thing on Channel NewsAsia today. It reported that COE prices have come down in most categories for the first time in nearly a year.
Now in Singapore, to buy a vehicle you need to buy a Certificate of Entitlement (COE). Basically this is nothing but a piece of paper that allows you to use the vehicle in Singapore. Since the Singapore government cut the number of COEs available last month, COE prices has risen through the roof.
Here's the strange part; in the latest tender, the COE price for small cars (Cat A) is at $30,000. The COE price for big cars (Cat B) is $40,001. In the open category, Cat E, the price is $43,003. Cat C, for goods vehicles and buses, is at $35,556. Only COE price for motorcycles was up, closing at $1,253.
Now I'm not saying they are wrong. The price for the COEs all went down except for motorcycles but it is still between $30,000 to $43,003! At these prices, there nothing to be upbeat or happy about, but I do not blame the Singapore government.
Most Singaporeans blame the government for cutting the number of COEs but the COE prices are determined by a bidding system. So the rise in COE can only be blamed on Singaporeans who are buying COE even as they bitch about the high prices. WE ARE THE ONE TO BLAME.

"Grandma's Cornbread"
With many recipes that are out there (and there are many)
Sometimes we have the simplest recipes passed down and they seem to be the
best, Especially when they are passed down from Grandmothers recipes.
And it maybe its that memory of spending time in the kitchen with
"Grandma" that makes it so good. Its a treasure in it's self.
4 Cups Self-Rising corn meal / I use Martha White
2 Large eggs
1/2 cup of crisco
1 Tablespoon of bacon drippings
1 cup to 1 1/2 cups whole buttermilk
1 Iron skillet - Medium size / greased with crisco
Mix all your ingredients well and pour into your
greased iron skillet and cook at 400 % until sides
and around top turn crusty brown, about 30
minutes or so, then brown on top.
minutes or so, then brown on top.
Bottom will be crusty.
Tip~ Add a pat of butter to a slice and
see how yummy it is.
And remember "It's not what's on the plates that matters, its what's on the "chairs "

Hey SP Bloggers, Lynn Marie's done it again on a couple of fronts. First, she and the rest of the crew want you to score some great deals before the shipments from the CHA show start rolling in.

So now through Saturday, it's 20% off Winter & Valentines, 30% off pattern papers and embellies and on Saturday the 29th only, it's 20% off t!m Holtz and Ranger!
Lynn Marie's also teaching her Mixed Media Tag class tonight. She's made beautiful Valentine-themed tags that you'll create using a variety of techniques and products.

How Online Trading Education Can Make A Difference By J. Foley
Each online trader will trade in their own style, depending on whether they are
going to be long-term, medium term, short-term or day traders. Making a
decision on the type of trader you want to be, however, means you need to be
aware of the trading education available to assist you.
Stock charts
Stock charts are used and analysed by an online trader in order to help him
determine when to buy and sell stock. The main types of stock charts in use
- Line charts: which, as the name suggests, is a line on a chart connecting
stock price over a period of time (can be minutes, hours, days, weeks,
months, or even years).
- Bar charts: similar to line chart, however the information contained is the
open, high, low and close price of the stock for one particular day.
- Reference chart – charts the stocks price and trading volume and is used to
plot where the stock price may go to.
- Candlestick charts – the information contained in candlestick charts is the
same as that you can find in bar charts; however, the display format is slightly
Technical indicators
As there name suggests, technical indicators are used by stock traders to
track a stock's previous performance in the hope that it may forecast where
the stock is going to go. This is done by making use of the stock charts
previously mentioned, plus additional analytical indicators which might have a
part to play.
It should be noted that technical indicators can be very confusing if you are
new to this type of information analysis. However, basic use is made of a:
- Bollinger band: which was invented by John Bollinger and uses 3 band lines
to track stock price fluctuations: an upper, centre and lower. The centreline is
the moving average, while the upper and lower lines are twice the plus and
minus standard deviations, respectively.
- Moving average: is a stock price/time series technical indicator. These can
then be calculated over short, medium and long term periods, as the need
requires, to determine where the stock may go and whether you should be
looking to maintain a short, medium or longer term position.
- Candle stick trend reversal: using a candle stick chart, a candle stick trend
reversal technical indicator will use the information in the chart to determine
when to buy in and sell out of a stock.
Keep in mind that there are other types of technical indicators in use, but the
above are the primarily the types used by new online stock traders.
Analysing the information
Assuming you have correctly analysed the stock chart and technical indicator
data, you should then be able to chart a stock's movements – thereby
hopefully ensuring that you remain one of the 20 percent who make a profit
from online trading from Day One.

Acting Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts Lui Tuck Yew said there was no need to "dignify ... a proper response" to the recent hoax that Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew had suffered a serious heart attack.
Rear Admiral Lui was replying to Government Parliamentary Committee chairman (Information, Communications and the Arts) Zaqy Mohamad, who asked about the ministry's non-response to former Singaporean Gopalan Nair's fake blog post.
RAdm Lui said: "We should treat it with the contempt it deserves. All it shows is the character of the man."
He credited netizens for initially "expressing disbelief" and later condemning Mr Gopalan, now an American citizen, when the latter fessed up. Some sites "regretfully" continued to champion Mr Gopalan's cause.
Still, RAdm Lui said it was "worthwhile to have incidents like this" so the Internet community can take steps to self-regulate.
He added that the Government is particularly concerned with misuse of identity, stolen identity and impersonation, which have "repercussions beyond what (netizens) imagine it to be".
From TODAYonline, "Mica unfazed by American netizen's hoax".

Utah Lemon Law State Statutes
Presented By:
Trigsted Law Group, P.C.
The Utah lemon law statute is below. The Utah automobile lemon law was written for lawyers by lawyers, so the legal ease may get to you. If it does, you can try the Utah Attorney General's Utah Lemon Law Rights Consumer Guide. Or, if you prefer skipping learning the law and would rather proceed to "Go" and collect damages for your lemon under the Utah lemon law on new cars (or the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, federal lemon law), you can connect with a free Utah lemon law attorney right here. Simply put, whatever questions you have about the lemon law process, and whatever your Utah car lemon law needs are, CarLemon.com has you covered!
Your Utah Lemon Law Rights, New Motor Vehicle Warranties Act
Title 13, Chapter 20
Utah Lemon Law 13-20-1 Short title.
This chapter is known as the "New Motor Vehicles Warranties Act."
Utah Lemon Law 13-20-2 Definitions.
As used in this chapter:
(1) "Consumer" means an individual who has entered into an agreement or contract for the transfer, lease, or purchase of a new motor vehicle other than for purposes of resale, or sublease, during the duration of the period defined under Section 13-20-5.
(2) "Manufacturer" means manufacturer, importer, distributor, or anyone who is named as the warrantor on an express written warranty on a motor vehicle.
(3) "Motor home" means a self-propelled vehicular unit, primarily designed as a temporary dwelling for travel, recreational, and vacation use.
(a) "Motor vehicle" includes:
(i) a motor home, as defined in this section, but only the self-propelled vehicle and chassis sold in this state; and
(ii) a motor vehicle, as defined in Section 41-1a-102, sold in this state.
(b) "Motor vehicle" does not include:
(i) those portions of a motor home designated, used, or maintained primarily as a mobile dwelling, office, or commercial space;
(ii) farm tractor, motorcycle, road tractor, or truck tractor as defined in Section 41-1a-102;
(iii) mobile home as defined in Section 41-1a-102; or
(iv) any motor vehicle with a gross laden weight of over 12,000 pounds, except a motor home as defined under Subsection (3).
Utah Lemon Law 13-20-3 Nonconforming motor vehicles.
If a new motor vehicle does not conform to all applicable express warranties, and the consumer reports the nonconformity to the manufacturer, its agent, or its authorized dealer during the term of the express warranties or during the one-year period following the date of original delivery of the motor vehicle to a consumer, whichever is earlier, the manufacturer, its agent, or its authorized dealer shall make repairs necessary to conform the vehicle to the express warranties, whether or not these repairs are made after the expiration of the warranty term or the one-year period.
Utah Lemon Law 13-20-4 Nonconforming motor vehicles.
Replacement; Refund; Criteria; Defenses.
(1) If the manufacturer, its agent, or its authorized dealer is unable to conform the motor vehicle to any applicable express warranty by repairing or correcting any defect or condition that substantially impairs the use, market value, or safety of the motor vehicle after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer shall replace the motor vehicle with a comparable new motor vehicle or accept return of the vehicle from the consumer and refund to the consumer the full purchase price including all collateral charges, less a reasonable allowance for the consumer's use of the vehicle. Refunds shall be made to the consumer, and any lien holder's or lessor's as their interests may appear.
(2) A reasonable allowance for use is that amount directly attributable to use by the consumer prior to his first report of the nonconformity to the manufacturer, its agent, or its authorized dealer, and during any subsequent period when the vehicle is not out of service because of repair.
(3) Upon receipt of any refund or replacement under Subsection (1), the consumer, lien holder, or lessor shall furnish to the manufacturer clear title to and possession of the motor vehicle.
(4) It is an affirmative defense to any claim under this chapter:
(a) that an alleged nonconformity does not substantially impair the consumer's use of the motor vehicle and does not substantially impair the market value or safety of the motor vehicle; or
(b) that an alleged nonconformity is the result of abuse, neglect, or unauthorized modifications or alterations of a motor vehicle by a consumer.
Utah Lemon Law 13-20-5 Reasonable number of attempts to conform.
(1) It is presumed that a reasonable number of attempts have been undertaken to conform a motor vehicle to the applicable express warranties, if:
(a) the same nonconformity has been subject to repair four or more times by the manufacturer, its agent, or its authorized dealer within the express warranty term or during the one-year period following the date of original delivery of the motor vehicle to a consumer, whichever is earlier, but the nonconformity continues to exist; or
(b) the vehicle is out of service to the consumer because of repair for a cumulative total of 30 or more business days during the warranty term or during the one-year period, whichever is earlier.
(2) The term of an express warranty, the one-year period, and the 30-day period shall be extended by any period of time during which repair services are not available to the consumer because of a war, invasion, strike, fire, flood, or other natural disaster.
Utah Lemon Law 13-20-6 Enforcement.
Limited liability of dealer; No limit on other rights or remedies.
(1) The Division of Consumer Protection shall, or a consumer may, enforce the rights created under this chapter. An action may be commenced by a consumer only after the claim has been investigated and evaluated by the division.
(2) This chapter may not be interpreted as imposing any liability on an authorized dealer or creating a cause of action by a consumer against a dealer under this chapter, except regarding any written express warranties made by the dealer apart from the manufacturer's own warranties.
(3) This chapter does not limit the rights or remedies which are otherwise available to a consumer under any other law.
(4) In an action initiated under this section by the consumer, the court may award attorneys' fees to the prevailing party.
Utah Lemon Law 13-20-7 Use of dispute settlement procedure.
If a manufacturer has established an informal dispute settlement procedure which complies with Title 16, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 703, then Section 13-20-4 concerning refunds or replacement does not apply to any consumer who has not first resorted to this procedure.

Hi Team,
As per our client landscape, we have 2 SAP systems. Purchase orders will be created in 1 SAP system (say Local) and then an IDOC (PORDCR1) with the PO details will be sent from Local SAP to another SAP system (say Global). Based on this IDOC, a PO (replica of the PO in Local system) will be created in Global system. Now, the issue is that the price in the Global PO is not getting picked from the IDOC and it is picked up from the previous Purchase order (reference maintained in the Global Purchase info record). Is there any option with which we can make the system to create the Global PO with the price in the IDOC and not from the previous PO in Global PIR. Please help.
Hi Team,
Can you please help us on the above query?
Thanks in advance.
Not sure what answer you're expecting after providing so little information...
Personally, I would've just debugged this instead of waiting for someone.
Hi, maybe youre question already solved but i leave it here for others as well.
If you use basic type Pordcr103 u can set price adoption in E1BPMEPOITEM - PO_PRICE (values 1 or 2).
Also do not forget to point this field in twin structure E1BPMEPOITEMX.
Kindly let us know what 1 and 2 mean ?
Will this ( 1 or 2 ) make the PO consider the price from the IDOC and not from PIR ?
Hi, Kiran.
You can check what does these values mean in we30. Open segment structure and double click on data element and it will open in se11. Then double click to domain and switch to "value range" tab.
So, as you can see:
1 - adopt as gross price
2 - adopt as net price
That means that if you use one of this values - price in PO will copy from Idoc. And if it blank - copy from standard settings.
Victor,Thanks for the detailed explaination.
Hi Khrisna,
Have you checked segment E1PORDCR1 field NO_PRICE_FROM_PO?
The price from the info record will always be used first, but you can update it by maintaining the POCOND and POCONDX parameters of BAPI_PO_CREATE1 (check how the corresponding PORDCR1 IDoc segments are named). For details, check

I got a $1 charge for Picture Messaging - Sounds. I have the Data plan for Blackberry (100MB) and I have not exceeded my limit. What is this charge?
That would be some sort of sound clip sent from your phone which is not covered for the message unless you have unlimited messaging as a feature. The data used for that, since it is a sound clip, is covered within the 100mb
Not too sure. Can you take a look ar your detailed billing/e-bill which you can access through Self Serve? You may want to email Koodo Customer Service because it's difficult for the community to help with account based issues because we aren't allowed to look into that or share personal information.
:P my response would be the reason behind it. I've seen it on bills before when people call in about it. Most likely, she does not have the unlimtied messaging or did not have it for that period the sound clip was sent.
Thanks guys! I will call Koodo to verify.
Being a Koodo employee and Community contributor (off hours lol) I can alsmot guarantee that was the case I mentioned. Can you post the results after the call? I'm curious :)

Well it does, doesn't? We all know that beautiful feeling of waking up, looking out of the window and seeing blue skies with sunshine streaming in. It puts us in a great mood straight away. Conversely, when up above you is a blanket of grey clouds, we feel pretty fed up. A funny little observation I've made since being in Sydney is that people here, broadly speaking, are a little more friendly and cheery than in the UK. And it really is a noticeable enough trend to be obvious. And yet much of the population shares the same ancestry, so how did that happen? The UK's not that bad is it?
But I'm not going to spend this blog convincing you that sunshine makes us feel happy. Most of us have already had this insight and if you haven't…well you should probably stop reading here as the rest of the blog is based on this assumption. And you're probably living somewhere without much sunlight – like Antarctica maybe. Go and take a holiday in the Caribbean and then read it again.
Neuroscientists have identified the physiological basis of this improvement in mood that occurs when we receive more sunlight. Depending on what you read, you will hear about increases in certain chemicals called endorphins and serotonin. Both have been frequently linked to mood, and indeed the main form of drug treatment for depression is a series of drugs called SSRIs, which artificially raise our levels of serotonin. I touched on the subject in an earlier blog (linked to brain changes blog).
For most Neuroscientists, they think that this increase in chemicals is a splendid answer to the question of the title. But not for me. You see, mood is an adaptive mechanism that has evolved over time to give us a biological advantage. We have reward pathways in the brain, which exist to give us a positive feeling when we do something that is good for us i.e. anything that helps us to survive or create more mini people. Likewise they give us a negative feeling when we do the opposite. Of course there are plenty of examples where this can go horribly wrong – such as with some recreational drugs, which act very powerfully on these reward mechanisms and confuse the hell out of our bodies.
So emotion isn't just there because it's nice to feel happy. It has a more adaptive purpose. With that in mind, why does the sun lift our mood? Or rather, why does our reward mechanism in the brain tell us that being in the sun is AWESOME? When I connect up the dots I'm left with the conclusion that sunlight obviously has an impact on our bodies that is important for us physiologically – important for our survival and health.
The best answer I can come up with is Vitamin D. Sunlight is well known to increase Vitamin D in our bodies, a vitamin that is quite tricky to get from any other source in the same quantity as from the sun. It's good for our teeth, bones AND does truly marvellous things for our immune system. Well that's pretty awesome. I guess with that in mind, it would make some sense that our brain is telling us to go and soak up more of it.
The bizarre lead on then from this then, is that those of us living in countries without much sunlight and feeling miserable (typically associated with higher levels of mental illness, especially seasonal affective disorder and even higher suicide rates) are actually receiving feedback from our brains telling us to LEAVE. It's basically saying to you, "Look, you can stay in this country with its rubbish weather where I'm not going to get any of that delicious Vitamin D I like, but I'm going to make you feel bloody miserable if you do." If this was the most powerful driving force for humans, we would probably see a very different population density across the globe, with hoards of people moving to Latin America and the Caribbean, and no one left in Scandinavia or the UK. I don't know what would happen to Eskimos.
So those are my two cents on the matter. Hopefully I'll uncover more reasons why our brains have adapted to encourage us to get outside in the lovely sunshine.
And in the mean time go and listen to 'Ain't no sunshine when she's gone' by Bill Withers. It's been in my head the whole time I've been writing this blog…

Mercilessly Raped By Two Dogs
Date: 7/15/2016, Categories: Fantasy, Anal, Bestiality, Non-consensual sex, Rape, Reluctance, First Time, Author: Terminix, Source: sexstories.com
My name is Abby, and I live in a modest single room apartment in a small town in California. Although others consider me rather pretty with long, flowing brown hair, flawless pale skin, average-sized breasts and a slim figure, I always had trouble with relationships. I would date a man for a few days to months before realizing that all they wanted was my body. Most of them take me out to dinner and try to get me drunk, as if I didn't know what they were planning. This happens every time. I'm not sure if I believe in love, because this is all life has offered me: horny men. I work as a waitress in a popular restaurant, and the pay is far from sufficient. $15 an hour and maybe a couple extra bucks from tips is barely enough to pay for meals, let alone luxuries such as fancy clothes and jewelry. The only good thing is that we have break days, and mine are on Saturday. At the moment, I am trying to get an office job as a typist, because I am good with computers to an extent. If I manage to get one, I can only imagine how much more comfortably I can live. My parents worked as pharmacists in their own store, but after a few years another competing pharmacy opened up down the road. Eventually, they closed the store and retired. The money my parents provided were barely enough to pay for my college fees, and after 4 years I had no more to continue. My instructors said it was a pity because I was a smart and honest student. There is a trail by a river a little more than half a mile ...

The Livingston Parish Council may take a second swat at killing mosquitoes.
Livingston-area Councilman Garry "Frog" Talbert on Thursday night introduced an ordinance to form a mosquito abatement board, with the intention of proposing a tax to pay for a program to spray nuisance and disease-carrying mosquitoes.
There has been no parish-wide mosquito abatement since 2015 when revenue for the program stopped after voters rejected proposed property taxes to pay for it. Prior to that time, the program was funded through a fee that proved difficult to collect.
Talbert told the council he is hearing from constituents, "'The mosquitoes are getting out of control and we've got to do something."
The proposed ordinance says the board would consist of all nine members of the parish council and would meet on the second Tuesday of each month. Talbert said the board would listen to experts about the best way to kill mosquitoes and formulate a budget for a parish-wide program.
Talbert said he favors designing the tax as a set fee to be assessed per tax bill and collected by the assessor's office, as opposed to a property tax. He argued it would be more fair — and more likely to pass.
"It doesn't matter if you live in a $25,000 house or a camp on a river," he said. "When a mosquito bites you, it bites you. And if it's packing a disease, you're going to be impacted by it."
There is one reported case of a person contracting West Nile virus in East Baton Rouge Paris…
Both the nine-member board and the fee assessment would need special approval from the legislature, but only the tax would go on the ballot, he said.
The proposal was met with lively debate, though most members of the council appeared in favor of the proposition, which will get a public hearing during the next council meeting on Oct. 12 at 6 p.m.
Denham Springs-area councilman John Wascom said he would vote to establish the board, but expressed some skepticism about the effectiveness of mosquito spraying, especially for people who live back from the road. He also questioned whether it's a good idea to reintroduce a tax similar to one that voters already rejected in 2012 and 2013.
Livingston Parish leaders mostly blame a lack of voter awareness for the recent failure of t…
"I just know that sometimes government can ask the people, and they voice their opinion. So, they didn't like the result, so they ask them again and they get the same answer. And then government keeps asking until sooner or later they get what they want," he said. "I really ask that we go slow and think about this before we commit 100 percent and force this on the people."
Livingston Parish had mosquito abatement from 2004 to 2015 that was paid for by a $30 fee billed to each person who received an electric bill. That funded a $1 million a year program with chemicals, equipment, drivers and staff biologist to set traps and check complaint areas.
As Livingston Parish ends its mosquito control program, four municipalities plan their own wars on the winged pests
As Livingston Parish's mosquito abatement program winds down, a handful of municipalities ar…
The program struggled to collect money because there was no penalty for failing to pay the fee. So, the mosquito district sought a property tax when the fee was up for renewal. When the property tax failed twice, the program shut down and sold its equipment to other parishes and to the municipalities in Livingston Parish. The equipment continues to be used in the cities, including Denham Springs, where city gas workers spray for mosquitoes at night.

LOS ANGELES - For the third consecutive week, a last-place finish has led to elimination on "Dancing With the Stars."
This week's celebrity casualty was Marlee Matlin, who came into Tuesday's results show with 21 out of 30 points. The actress lost her timing at various points during her mambo Monday with professional partner Fabian Sanchez, and the judges took note.
"You guys looked like you were forcing and struggling," said judge Carrie Ann Inaba, who noted that the mambo is more rhythm-dependent than other ballroom dances and she expected it to be most difficult for Matlin.

Getting fit does not have to revolve around hours of hard work at the gym. In the following paragraphs, you'll read excellent advice that will help you become fit using different approaches, not just by going to the gym.
It is best not to work out when your are ill, unless you only have a slight cold. Reserving your body's energy when you are ill, will help the healing process, and get you back to full strength quicker.
If you want to develop your muscle mass, try lifting heavier weights and doing less reps. Select a certain muscle group and begin your routine. Begin with a warm-up set using lighter weights. The warm-up set should be 15-20 reps. Change to a heavier weight for the next set. You should only be able to do 6 to 8 repetitions at this weight. One the third set increase this weight by five pounds, doing the most reps you can.
Once you have embarked on a new fitness routine, you may be tempted to overdo it. To build your strength and stamina, you should push yourself only slightly more each time you go into your chosen activity. Stretching afterwards is key to ensuring you protect the muscles you are building.
benefits of undenatured collagen overdo your workouts or rush into an exercise routine that is too intense for you. This is a recipe for disaster and you'll end up injuring yourself. Start out slow and work your way up to more intense workouts. As you get stronger, increase how much you do to see the best results.
Make sure you're stretching before and after your workouts. You want to do moving stretches, like jumping jacks and windmills, in the beginning, to loosen your muscles up. Afterwards, you should do stationary stretches to stretch out your muscles and let your body cool down, after your work out, to avoid getting any cramps.
If you're new to exercising, try walking. http://blogs.rediff.com/stacy659nichelle/2017/06/06/improve-your-mind-and-body-through-correct-nutrition/ and weight loss go hand in hand, so incorporating some fitness into your plan is essential. Walking is gentle, easy to do, inexpensive, and it can be done anywhere. Start small, and build your way up to several miles a day.
Even collagen powder constipation seasoned runner encounters muscle soreness in their calves upon waking in the morning. Try this: sleep on your stomach and allow your feet to hang over the side of your bed. Overnight, the effects of gravity will lightly stretch your muscles, making them noticeably less sore when you wake up the next morning.
To improve your climbing skills, whether for rock or wall climbing, try getting tighter shoes to practice in. Get a pair that is so tight that you can easily stand, but you are not able to walk without discomfort. This may seem counter-intuitive to always getting well-fitting fitness gear, but doing this gives you optimal control of your feet and legs, which are essential to climbing.
7 Reasons You Need More Collagen + How To Get It
Collagen is basically the glue that holds our bodies together. Here's the bad news, our bodies do produce collagen but not forever, at least not in abundance. By the time you are 40, collagen is used up faster than your body can produce it, twenty years later, over half of your body's collagen is gone. 7 Reasons You Need More Collagen + How To Get It
A good way to try and recover faster is to work out the muscles that you had worked out the previous day, but lightly instead. This will act like stretching your muscles and will make blood travel faster through your muscles which will in turn deliver more nutrients to them.
If you want your fitness program to work, adjust your living environment to promote health and wellness. Get rid of unhealthy foods and stock up on fruits and vegetables. Do not smoke and ask others not to smoke in your presence. Also, get plenty of sleep and avoid overindulging in alcohol. Fitness is about more than just working out!
Purchase top quality running shoes that fit. Visit a store that specializes in running to find the perfect pair. If your shoes don't fit, your running program will never feel comfortable or fun. You will never stick to a program if you are battling with an ill fitted pair of shoes. You will also save money in the end by purchasing top quality shoes, because they will last you longer.
If you have access to an old large tire, such as one off of a piece of farm or construction equipment, it can be used in fitness exercises. One such exercise is, flipping the tire over and over again for a certain distance. The resulting work out will greatly improve fitness.
When you have mastered being able to balance on an exercise ball, it can be a great substitute for a chair at your desk. Using the exercise ball as your chair can help improve your balance as well as tone your core muscles, just by sitting down at your desk. Additionally, you can multipurpose the ball to do squats throughout the day.
As we said in the beginning, knowledge is what will help you make the right choices. Confusion and myths about health and fitness can make it easy for just shrug it off and say that you can't do it. If this article has shown you anything, hopefully it is that being fit isn't as hard as you thought it was.

The Origin of Titan and Hyperion
Titan is arguably the Solar System's most unusual satellite. It is fifty times more massive than Saturn's other moons and is the only satellite with a substantial atmosphere. Titan shares a unique resonance with nearby Hyperion, but otherwise sits in a particularly large gap between Rhea and Iapetus. Titan has the largest eccentricity of all Saturn's regular satellites and has a reasonably large orbital tilt; its distant neighbor Iapetus has an even more impressive eight degree free inclination. Hyperion itself is a mystery, with its unusual orbit, extremely low density and its unique surface covered with bizarre craters. None of these peculiarities are even partially understood. Until now!

Staff WriterLiving legend David Bowie has premiered a second video for his newest single, "Love Is Lost." The track is the second song to come from his most recent album The Next Day. The video is accompanied by the ten-minute remix of "Love Is Lost," which is by James Murphy and it also features on Bowie's repackage, The Next Day Extra. The music video shows us a sort of virtual world being intricately constructed mostly in black and white. It also features a naked couple passionately kissing, giving the video a very sexual but natural tone within the futuristic visuals. The first video for the song was released last month and was reported to only have cost £8.08 ($12.99) to make. Bowie's album alone contains 14 songs but the repackage includes the same 14 songs, a 10-track companion (with five unheard songs), two remixes and a DVD featuring 4 music videos. You can watch the second video for "Love Is Lost" below.

As I write this it is October 6. Exactly one month from this morning I'll be standing, or waiting –or maybe actually running– somewhere near, over, under, across the bridge pictured above starting into what will be the first few steps of a 42.2 klick adventure through the streets of New York City.
The NYC Marathon.
The bucket list race.
The thing I've been training for over the last ten years, most of the time not even realizing this is why I've logged nearly ten thousand klicks since I started this running-thing, this time-consuming, life-changing, body-breaking, soul-mashing hobby.
Oh… shit.
It's getting quite real. Did I mention that already? Sorry. It's hanging right out there, constantly reminding me with every waking moment, every moment that I'm not running, not training, not pushing my fitness to a level of absolute confidence where I feel with absolute certainty that I'm absolutely not going to collapse on a foot-pounded asphalt road somewhere in the bowels of Manhattan.
As much as I know –feel it in my gut with more certainty than most things I know– that I shouldn't put all my hopes and fears into one single event, on one single day, in one awesome but just-a-place place… as much as I know that: I am.
It's real. It's this thing I gotta do. These miles I gotta run. Somehow. Anyhow. There. Then. Because.
Do you ever feel like you're in over your head a little bit? I feel like I'm in over my head right now: not a lot over my head, and not a lot of the time. Not on good days. Not after a successful training run, or an unexpected tempo, or a purposeful moment of self-reflection and meditative introspection. But sometimes. Sometimes I look at the scope of this thing, the work involved leading up, the tens of thousands of other people who are probably monumentally more ready than I am and think…
Oh… shit.
This thing is getting very real.
There are, essentially, two weeks (counting today) until the end of 2015. Each year I set an annual goal for my distance. If this is a good practice or not, I can't say; But it keeps me running, especially on a day like today. As I sit here in the cafe typing, on my Friday off, feeling the chill of the minus twenty air coming through the glass of the nearby window, I'm contemplating my goal. I'm contemplating that I have another forty klicks to run in the next two weeks in order to meet my goal. And I'm contemplating that I really need to find a way to do a run today –despite the weather. I think a deep, contemplative sigh would be appropriate here.
The march to a million-word-blog continues. I just noticed that my counter is just three thousand words shy of the big seven-digit roll-over! At least it will be with this post.
I last checked in on the Million Word Blog Countdown with 25k words to go. Now, today, it is less than 12K to go. I'm guess it will be sometime in September that the wordometer will tick over to seven digits.
On my way to a million words? I just noted that I passed the 975k word mark on my blog this evening. #itsthelittlethings & the #countdown is on!
Seventy thousand words might seem like a lot, but when you tend to be as blogging prolific as I've tended to be lately, that's not much more than a four or five months of writing. That will be more so as some of my big writing efforts and challenges creep into view as the summer nears. So, here I am, March 14th and just a few words shy of nine hundred and thirty thousand words of drivel on this site. Have you read them all? Not likely, huh? I'm not even sure I have… at least not lately. So, how does one celebrate reaching yet another arbitrary milestone when it comes? How do I celebrate a million words on this blog? With fireworks? Or just a golf-clap?
Four weeks from right now I'll be relaxing after four very dopey days of racing. #countdown #rundisney #dopeychallenge
So, this is what we did: as it turns out the training program calls for a sixteen klick race pace training run eight days before the main event. As it also turns out, the race course is (if you reeeeally stretch your imagination) a kinda-figure-eight shape, the intersection being both the start, the finish, and also a point bisecting one loop of roughly the first twenty-six kilometres and another loop of roughly the last sixteen kilometres. Get it?
Two loops: one twenty-six, the other sixteen… ish.
We ran the second loop, the sixteen, on Saturday morning. At race pace.

The point was simple: it is quite possible that confidence stems from familiarity. Yes, there is the fear inherent in knowing what awaits, but there is also a measure of calm that blossoms from NOT facing the unknown. We ran the second loop, weaving through the last sixteen klicks of the race course, a near-silent troupe of eight of us stoically facing the road and the knowledge of our inevitable trail on this exact asphalt in a (then) little over one week's time. We purchased familiarity with an hour and a half of footfalls, and traced out our future path in our present minds. Confidence burst forth.
There are a mere five days until race day as I write these words. That confidence is a fickle thing, let me tell you. There are moments when I sit here thinking "bring it on." And there are moments when I wonder silently to myself if I somehow, possibly, left my sanity on a park bench somewhere never to be seen again.
I don't suffer alone. I lead a whole group of others on this funny little adventure, all of whom are probably far more prepared than I if for no other reason than –as one often does in these situations– I've been doing a lot of leading from behind, focusing on potential stragglers and running circles, sometimes literally, trying to keep the group entangled and together in our training.
Not to mention, I registered Claire for the one-klick kids race the evening before. She gets a shirt and a medal, and she has been talking about it with the same kind of nervous anticipation I'd previously only reserved for myself. She's excited, but it will be her first race and one klick or forty-two, the first one is always a big one.
I have goals. Finishing times in my head. Plan 'A' and Plan 'B' and a loaf of other caveat-laden plans that redeem the effort all round. I can't even begin to suggest where they land on the spectrum of realistic expectations to gross under-estimation, but I suspect I'm in for a surprise about just how wrong certain assumptions have been.
Trust the training, right?
The countdown on my daily photo project has all but began: after three-hundred and forty-some photos captured over the past eleven-plus months (is that enough numbers for you yet?) I have a mere three weeks left in this crazy-epic project.
I had indicated that I was inclined to keep going… and going… and going. But I've gotta tell you: I'm starting to hit a bit of an inspirational wall.
Maybe it's the summer-toll: the heat, the never-ending mosquitos, the daily-grind followed by the notion of an impending and inevitable winter. (The Heat and Burn-Out Factor?)
Maybe it's all the running: the better parts of my days now seem consumed by training and planning and hydrating and eating just-right. (The Exercising Too Much Factor?)
Maybe it's the solitude: for the most part I seem to be doing most of what I'm doing here in a vacuum, self-indulging, and a complete lack of any sort of wider interest. (The Everyone's One Facebook Factor?)
Maybe it's the technology: I haven't had much new in the way of equipment for over half a year now, save for some new phone camera apps. (The New Toy-Less Factor?)
Maybe it's the way of myself: my attention span has never been very long for this type of thing, and a year into the adventure I'm looking at other things with a gleaming interest. (The Yearning for New Things Factor?)
Whatever it is, why-ever I feel this way, I'm actually finding myself plodding along for the last few photos. I mean, there are a couple big events looming: a trio of weekends, the annual Fringe Festival where I'll be officially photographing once again (though probably for the last year, to be honest) and some short-range travel in the works for a few scattered days.
With only ten days until the race, we had our last clinic night tonight, wrapping things up with an eight kilometer tempo run (non-stop and fast, one step below a speed run) out on the long stretch of bike path just over in South Terwillegar.
I am really starting to feel it these day, and will definitely revel in whatever break I give myself between the race and the next round of training leading towards Vegas.
I realize I haven't updated the virtual run distance in a while, but for those who are curious as of tonight — counting from when I started this crazy training adventure back in March — I've racked up a total of 609 KM of cumulative klicks. Such a run, were that even possible in a single, mind-numbing, back-breaking race would take me from the corner near my house (that same corner where I general kick of most of my solo runs these days) down and South through Red Deer to Calgary, turning West, passing through Banff on Trans-Canada Highway One, jutting off into British Columbia, through the mountains past Golden and coming up on the quiet town of Revelstoke (where I should reach by the end of race day, if all goes well!) That's about five or six hours worth of driving, for those more comfortable with that math, and no matter how you measure it a stupid and epic distance to cover in a short twenty weeks.
I'll probably be aiming to double that number by the time Vegas rolls around. In fact, I'll probably just state that now: before reaching the start line of the 2012 Las Vegas Half Marathon, I'd like to bring my half-marathon virtual training total up to whatever distance will drop me from our current house and back into into my old apartment in uptown Vancouver, a distance I'll calculate someday soon and post here.
That said, for now? It's time to concentrate on the upcoming race. Another post on that soon…
In the countdown to this humble little blog reaching the milestone of fifteen hundred entries, I thought I would spur some variety of articles to span the gap across that particular (and arbitrary) placeholder. As such, I've dipped back into the Big Huge Thesaurus Blog Idea Generator and compiled nine quasi-random topics below. Over the next few weeks, I'll post an entry for each — though not necessarily in order. Enjoy.
1. Compare your family and friends to characters in your favorite novel.
2. Simplify something that many people find complex.
3. Write about developing your own style and voice.
4. Write a story in six words.
5. What happened in your mother's life when she was exactly the age you are now?
6. List the top ten gadgets you use.
7. List your top ten favourite books.
8. Write about your first memory.
9. Write about coffee cups you have owned.
I'll link to each article in this post after I've written it. If you have a blog and happen to write on one of these topics, send me the link and I'll post it as an add-on to each, too.

The Chicago food truck scene is really starting to take off, despite challenges from the city concerning parking and permits. The freedom and flexibility of food trucks have inspired many, and now one family is looking to crowdsourcing to make their mobile munchies a reality. Damian Warzecha and Jessica Whitney share a love for pierogis, the traditional Polish dumplings. Armed with backgrounds in the service industry, the pair decided that these savory treats should be shared with the rest of Chicago. Thus was the idea for the Pierogi Wagon hatched.
Damian told us that a food truck set-up won out over a traditional restaurant for a number of reasons. He has had experience in concessions and liked the environment and feeling of events. Overhead for a truck is significantly more manageable than a brick-and-mortar spot, and the mobility allows the ability to try out different locations and reach out to more of the community.
Involving the community is an important element of the Pierogi Wagon's journey. Funding for a risky venture like a food truck can be difficult to come by. A loyal customer base is key to success, and how better to ensure that than to give those same customers a chance to bring the business to life? Damian found Kickstarter to be the perfect solution for raising the money needed to create the Pierogi Wagon. With even a $5 donation earning one the bragging rights of being a "founder," the Pierogi Wagon really seeks to be born of a communal effort.
So what can you look forward to once the Pierogi Wagon hits the streets? Damian and Jessica will be serving the Polish staple in traditional flavors such as beef and mushroom & kraut, as well as modern tastes on special seasonal menus. Dipping sauces like applewood smoked bacon sour cream and jalapeno ranch will accompany orders, which come in both snack and regular sizes.
Craving some pierogis now? This is your chance to bring them to the streets! Take a look at what the Pierogi Wagon has to offer in their promotional video, and don't forget to visit their Kickstarter page!
These wriggly, chewy candies shouldn't just be eaten straight out the bag
Bull riders, bronc busters, steer wrestlers, and motorcross madmen aren't the only daredevils here

I can promise you it will be a fun and interesting group, and I certainly hope you get something out of the class, especially the confidence and ability to express yourself and your emotions more freely. The main focus on the class is going to be learning to express and verbalize different and even sometimes difficult emotions that can come from doing our artwork. You will begin to feel yourself changing and becoming more relaxed after learning to get some of these emotions out where you can face them! There will be no criticizing of artwork or poetry, as I strongly encourage you to develop your own, unique style in all of my workshops and tutorials.
Do come join us, and we will have a great time! You can always email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

When head is operational, the turf cup rises on top of the sprinkler allowing normal watering. The cup is made of a soft rubber compound that will flex easily if contacted.
Here, at InteliRain, we've been working hard to build a
greener future with a focus on environmental stewardship.
InteliControl is the nerve centre for InteliRain. The UDOC operating system within InteliControl provides the conduit between the InteliValve and the InteliHead to control the flow of water with a high degree of precision. The ability to program the desired watering map and schedule into InteliControl is the fundamental advantage of the system.
Integrated drip irrigation into the rubber cup provides irrigation to the turf each time the sprinkler runs.
Conservation through Innovation
The InteliValve™ utilizes smart valve technology to deliver a fully customizable pattern by controlling the flow of water at every degree around the 360 rotating InteliHead. This technology allows the InteliRain system to deliver water in any desired pattern through the flow control of the InteliValve.
Given the ability to map the desired watered area, InteliRain negates any chance of over watering caused by conventional overlap or watering outside of the intended boundaries. Early testing has shown an increase in distribution uniformity of 30% while still achieving full coverage with just a single head.
The InteliHead™ combines a Uniform Distribution Optimization Control (UDOC™) electronic drive system with an InteliVariable Orifice System (IVOS™) nozzle to provide a tailored solution to all irrigation needs.
The InteliHead transforms the conventional sprinkler head into an intelligent and fully customizable irrigation system. Aircraft grade billet aluminium construction offers a unit built to survive any environment.
"Quick change" technology and a three (3) year replacement warranty allows for easy head replacement and 'no hassle' maintenance.
Our innovation is a smart technology that cannot be found in the market today, providing substantial water savings, simplified installation, unparalleled operational flexibility, reduced system maintenance and increased turf health.
We provide a complete system control including water scheduling, algorithm optimization, data processing and control of robotic components - all on a dedicated, supplied tablet.
Professional Grade Intelligent Irrigation
The system allows the technology to be smart, efficient and make dynamic decisions.
When head is down, the turf cup is virtually invisible and will not affect play.

Every day for a year, starting on my 49th birthday, I did something I've never done before. Now that I've completed that project, here's more of my adventures.
Sunday, December 13, 2009
Time To Have Some Fun!
Here are 25 questions to let you know more than you could possibly want to know about me. If you're reading this post, then you must:
(a) leave a comment and answer the 25 questions below,
(b) write the answers to the questions below in your own blog post (if you have a blog, that is) or
(c) call yourself a scrooge in the comments below and refuse to answer them.
I hope you choose (a) or (b) but if you choose (c) then I'll just let the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future deal with you. If you do decide to write your own blog post about it, please mention Mandy since she is the author of these important questions. (Writers credit and all that jazz - thanks!)
(1) What is your favorite Christmas movie? I don't really have one favorite. For old movies, it would be It's a Wonderful Life. If I'm wanting something new, The Santa Clause always makes me laugh. Even though it's not completely about Christmas, I enjoy Meet Me In St. Louis (imagine that!), and the holidays aren't complete without seeing at least part of A Christmas Story.
(2) What is your LEAST favorite Christmas movie? One year my boys tried to start a new family tradition on Christmas Eve--watching holiday episodes of Family Guy and South Park. Ugh!
(3) What is your favorite Christmas song? Too many to list...but I have a soft spot for Holiday Sing Along with Mitch by Mitch Miller and the Gang. My parents had the LP when I was a kid, and it was part of my collection when my kids were young. Now I have it on CD.
(4) What Christmas song(s) drives you crazy? Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. However, Boudreaux's Christmas (Boudreaux Got Run Over by a Mudboat), which is basically the same thing with a Cajun spin, always makes me laugh.
(5) What is your favorite Christmas drink? (i.e. egg nog, hot chocolate) Instant hot chocolate mixed with coffee instead of water.
(6) What is your favorite Christmas memory? The year Tony went with a friend to cut a tree on the friend's country property. He came home with one so tall it almost touched our ten-foot tall ceiling! The tree was so top heavy we had to tie it to the wall with fishing line secured to hooks.
(7) What is the best toy/gift you've received on Christmas? Anything my kids made for me.
(8) What is the worst toy/gift you've received on Christmas? Does it make me an incurable optimist if I can't think of one?
(9) What do you LOVE about the holidays? The feeling of goodwill and spirit of giving. People going out of their way to help others.
(10) What annoys you about the holidays? The commercialization of the season.
(11) Do you prefer star or angel on top of a Christmas tree? Or something else? For the past few years we've used a crystal-looking topper that's shaped like an onion dome. Before that it was a shiny gold star.
(12) What is your family favorite recipe at Christmas? I don't really have one. Christmas is our holiday to host the extended family, and I serve something different every year. That's my tradition!
(13) Are you a Grinch or a Who at Christmastime? Definitely a Who!
(14) Christmas light displays - Love them or Hate them? Love looking at them, not so thrilled about putting them up and taking them down at our house.
(15) Santas at the mall - Fun times or Creepy? I think Santas are fun, but they look so lonely when they're sitting there by themselves with no kids.
(16) Christmas cards - do you send them, yes or no? We send fewer than we used to, but I love receiving them, and the best way to receive is to give, too!
(17) What is the best thing about Christmas, in your opinion? Having the whole family home.
(18) What is the worst thing about Christmas? Cleaning up after it!
(19) When do you put the tree up and take it down? We put it up sometime in the middle of the month on a day when the calendar's empty. When the kids lived at home, it would be a day when everyone was available to help. I take it down sometime after New Year's Day, after I put all the other decorations away.
(20) Out of the 12 days of Christmas, which day and item would you want your true love to give to you? Five Gold Rings. Everyone needs a little bling!
(21) Why do you think that Grandma got run over by a reindeer? She forgot to look both ways before she crossed the street..
(22) Who is your favorite reindeer? Rudolph. Gotta admire his spunk!
(23) Do you believe in Santa Claus? Absolutely!
(24) What is your favorite smell at Christmastime? Anything baking.
(25) What would make you happy at Christmas this year? Seeing the surprised look on everyone's face when then open their presents.
Thank you and pass it on!

Whew, what a year! Now that 2012 is in the history books and we've successfully lived past the so-called Myan apocalypse... it's time to get after 2013!
January is always particularly reflective for me because I have exactly one month between the end of the year and my birthday (Feb 1st, woohoo!). Right now I'm working on a list of questions to help me discover my BHAGs for the year. If you haven't heard of this, BHAG stands for "Big Hairy Audacious Goal".
Now BHAGs are not something you can just stumble towards if you really expect to get anywhere. They require unwavering focus as well as a sense of accountability... so this year I've decided to share some of my BHAGs with YOU.
1. UNASSISTED PULLUPS. I want to do at least 10, preferably 20 standard pullups. I used to be able to do these but I'm out of practice. Right now I can do 5 (insert McKayla Maroney meme here).
2. SHOES/GEAR. Divas need to look fly while they workout, right? With so many options out there now I've realized that I've been a bit remiss in exploring all the possibilities. Time to fix that!
3. ONE-ARM PUSHUPS. As the self-proclaimed queen of pushups I want MORE! This is a great addition to my list of Super Powers... ;)
4. OVERHEAD PISTOL SQUATS. I was side-lined by an injury (boo!), but I'm back at it and determined to add this "beast mode" move to my repertoire!
5. SLEEP! This is a BHAG because I have the super bad habit of staying up too late and not resting nearly enough. There, I said it! Sleep is important for good health and good training. I KNOW this! I tell YOU this! Time to break this bad habit so I can offer up my best self each day.
Bonus BHAG share...
My theme this year is... "BE AMAZING!". Everything I do will be filtered through this phrase. More on that later.
So, that's it. A little scary because now, of course, YOU know and in comes that accountability thing. But, it's important to walk the talk and I fully believe in the power of goal sharing. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think, as well as your BHAG(s) for this year if you'd like. Let's encourage and help each other succeed!
Go for your dreams and be well!
