What is BeeLean Xtreme?
BeeLean Xtreme is a proprietary nutriceutical designed to enhance weight loss and energy. This patent pending, all- natural nutritional supplement contains a synergistic blend of nutrients from all across the globe. "This unique supplement targets and attacks excess pounds in the most common hard to reach areas by utilizing a multi-level approach that allows for a faster, healthier and more efficient means of weight management.
How much weight can I lose?
Everyone is different, and everyone will lose weight at a different rate. There are many factors that will determine how fast one loses weight. Weight loss needs, age, diet, exercise, medical conditions, family history and water intake can all have a direct effect on weight loss success. For instance, one who has more weight to lose will usually drop weight quicker than someone who has just a few pounds to lose (assuming they do everything else the same). Our guarantee does not state specific weight loss amounts; we simply guarantee that you will be satisfied with our products.
How soon can I start losing weight?
Weight loss varies from individual to individual. The amount of weight loss will depend on your daily diet, the amount of exercise you get and how over weight you are. Individual weight loss may be anywhere from two to ten pounds per week. However, some people lose inches before they start to lose weight, because they might be gaining muscle due to vigorous exercise while they are sculpting and losing fat.
Is BeeLean Xtreme going to give me too much energy?
BeeLean Xtreme should give you harmonically balanced energy. The formula is scientifically engineered to work with the body's metabolism to provide the optimum energy response level. It is simple; take one to two capsules of BeeLean Xtreme in the morning and one to two capsules in the early afternoon. Please remember to eat 45 minutes to one hour after each dose and drink ample amounts of water. Rarely, but occasionally we have people tell us that these products are too powerful for them and they feel a bit jittery (as if they drank too much coffee). Remember, sometimes it could take days or a couple of weeks for your body to get adjusted to the herbs. This is perfectly normal. This jitteriness usually passes after a little time.
Commit to one complete week of BeeLean Xtreme to give your body the necessary time to acclimate to this powerful new formula.
Can I continue to take other herbs/vitamins?
You may continue to take your vitamins and supplements while taking BeeLean Xtreme.
Will BeeLean Xtreme affect my current medication?
This product will not affect most medication. However, if you are on any medication, we always recommend you check with your physician before starting any weight loss or nutritional regimen. Your physician will know the specifics and severity of your condition and will be better able to judge if you should be taking any nutritional supplements.
Who should not take a stimulant based formula?
Individuals with high/low blood pressure, Heart conditions, thyroid disease, diabetes, epilepsy, depression, glaucoma, prostrate ailments, seizure disorder or if using an MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitor) should consult a physician before taking. Individuals with heart ailments or if pregnant or nursing, should not take this product.
How soon will I see results?
Results will vary for everyone. Some see results in the very first week. Others may take up to 2 months before seeing results. To increase amount of weight loss and the speed at which weight loss occurs, try to include these things into your program: exercise 3-4 days per week, consume a low-fat, low sugar, well-balanced diet, try to eat 3-5 small meals a day instead of 1 or 2 large meals, cut back on diet sodas, sodas and alcohol, drink plenty of water and refrain from eating 4 to 5 hours prior to bedtime.
Do I have to exercise while taking BeeLean Xtreme?
You do not have to exercise when taking this thermogenic product. Keep in mind that exercise is an important way to stimulate weight loss and accelerate results. We burn calories while exercising, and exercise increases metabolism. Cardiovascular exercising should be combined with some weight training. Many people are afraid to do weight training for the fear of "getting big". But weight training is one of the best ways to burn calories. Plus, by adding muscle to your body your resting metabolic rate will be drastically increased. This is because muscle needs more calories to sustain itself than fat does. By increasing the muscle on our bodies, we burn more calories every day, even if we are just sitting still! One pound of muscle actually burns 50 calories a day. If you replace 10 pounds of fat with muscle, your body will burn 500 more calories a day! (Burning an additional 500 calories a day sure would make it harder to ever gain weight again.
Do I have to take BeeLean Xtreme with food?
Most people do not need to take this product with food but it is recommended. If you have a sensitive stomach, or if after taking this product you get an upset stomach or feel disoriented, you should eat something (low in calories) 45 minutes to 1 hour after taking each dose.
How does BeeLean Xtreme work?
BeeLean Xtreme works by increasing the metabolic rate. BeeLean Xtreme does this by increasing the rate at which the BAT (brown adipose tissue) utilizes fat. Many people have a weight problem because their BAT is not functioning properly, or at all. Our thermogenic formula increased the effectiveness of the BAT thereby increasing the overall effectiveness of the metabolism's ability to burn fat.
What are the side effects of BeeLean Xtreme?
There really are no major side effects from BeeLean Xtreme. We rarely get any complaints. But of course, like any other nutritional product, BeeLean Xtreme may not agree with everyone. We occasionally receive comments from consumers stating this product makes them feel jittery, disoriented or this product gives them heartburn. The jitteriness usually occurs because one's body is adjusting to the herbs. This usually goes away after a week or two. We usually find that those who get heartburn are individuals who have a history of heartburn. If you drink caffeine when taking BeeLean Xtreme, you may experience a small amount of nausea. If this happens to you, try not to drink any caffeine within a couple of hours of taking the product. Eating yogurt usually alleviates these symptoms.
Is BeeLean Xtreme FDA approved?
BeeLean Xtreme is a nutritional dietary supplement. In most cases the FDA does not approve dietary supplements. However, our manufacturing facility meets the highest standards and requirements for manufacturing nutritional supplements and is an FDA inspected facility.
Is BeeLean Xtreme all-natural?
YES! BeeLean Xtreme is an all-natural dietary supplement consisting of herbs, vitamins and minerals.
Do I have to follow a diet with BeeLean Xtreme?
We do not have a specific diet that you must follow when taking our thermogenic product. In other words, you do not have to eat 6 grapefruits, 10 egg whites or 5 bananas every day! This is one of the nice aspects about thermogenics, because they actually increase the metabolism all by themselves. We do however recommend a well-balanced diet consisting of 3-5 small meals a day. Yes that's right, we recommend eating often! We do not want you to starve. It is actually better to eat smaller more frequent meals than to eat 1 or 2 meals a day. Keep this in mind when planning.
How do I know if BeeLean Xtreme is working?
There are several feelings that tell you that BeeLean Xtreme is working. First, you will definitely notice that you have more energy. This is one of the bonuses of our thermogenic product. Next you will notice that you have a suppressed appetite. You will not feel as if you need to eat as much in between meals or during the meal. Some people even feel as if this product gives them a heating effect. They feel slightly warmer than usual. This occurs because some of the herbs naturally heat the body (which is where some of the increased fat burning effect comes from).
Why do I need to drink so much water?
Water suppresses the appetite and aids the body in getting rid of fat. The liver is the place where fat is metabolized. The kidneys need water to function properly and if they do not have enough water will pass work onto the liver (where fat is being metabolized). If the liver is getting work from the kidney, then it cannot metabolize fat, as it should do naturally, therefore fat gets stored in the body. Many people feel that they 'retain' water. The easiest way to avoid this is to drink more water! The body retains water when it has less than the amount it needs for daily functions. It views this lack of water as a threat and holds on to as much as it can. If we increase our water intake, then all the stored water will be released by the body…no more water retention. Keep in mind that water retention may be brought on by excess salt intake. Our body only needs so much salt. If too much salt is taken in, the body will need to hold on to water to dilute it. Also keep in mind that an over weight person has greater metabolic needs. Therefore, they will need more water to efficiently run the metabolic process.
Gender: In general, doctors are now recommending that a healthy adult man should drink approximately 13 cups of water per day and a healthy adult woman should drink approximately nine cups per day. These numbers are determined by the average amount of water a person will lose throughout the day through excretions, as well as the amount of water required to facilitate bodily functions.
What do I do after I reach my weight loss goal?
Healthy Lifestyle for Life.
When an individual reaches their weight loss goal and decides to stop taking the product, healthy lifestyle changes that promote weightstability must be incorporated. These changes include continued water intake, balanced low fat, lower calorie diet and regular, moderate exercise. It is best to approach these changes while one progresses with their weight loss program. One can start by gradually reducing their intake of fats and sugars. There is no need to eliminate the foods you like altogether, but an adjustment towards moderation will help make the transition easier after your goal is reached.
The Key to Keeping Weight off.
The key to keeping weight off is to burn the same or more calories than what are consumed. Regular, moderate exercise will help your body burn calories as will sticking to a lower calorie diet. Some individuals continue to do well for some time after stopping the product. When there is a little slip in weight, you may need to pay more attention to your diet and exercise.

Very nice look and finishing, a slightly narrow on the sides internal shape, and my major problem is the lack of temple room for my prescription glasses on the cheek pad area, specially with thick temples, I belive is ventilation is ok, with some wind noise but you get use to it. The retracting sunglasses system is a very handy feature as well as the retaining magnetic strap edge.
.. and I have to say, I am impressed. I tour a lot on a Road King and have always used half helmets and three quarters. I like the wide open feeling and the noise isn't really bothersome. However, with the windshield on the RK, buffeting is a real problem at legal speeds especially at an angle to the wind. At the insistence of my gf, who wanted me to go full face, we agreed on a modular for the flip up capability and convenience of traffic lite conversation. I decided on the Revolver for the combination of price and the fact it is a Bell.
My first hiway ride sold me on this helmet for the solution to the buffeting problem alone. All the wind deflecting devices I have tried and mixed and matched offered no relief like this helmet with the chinbar and shield down. I am still astonished at how smooth a ride my head gets behind that windshield, no matter what angle the wind comes across the road.
The chinbar is smooth, feels secure when latched and is easily operable with gloves, and same for the shield. Im not wild about the built in shades, maybe they'll grow on me, but they too have a solid and glove friendly lever. I think maybe they simply are not dark enough.
The Evo is heavy, but balanced such that the weight is quickly unnoticed, and it is noisy, but a good scarf around the neck helps measurably, and the RK's windshield curvature is like a speaker for upper engine noise anyway, so I'm used to the racket.
My biggest gripe is with the outer shield and the rainbow effect produced when I wear polarized sunglasses behind it. Very annoying, but I tolerate it because all my Rx sunglasses are polarized to suit my fishing habit and cut down the road glare. A pittance to pay for what I get in return with the rest of the helmet.
Another good product from Bell as far as I am concerned, especially for the price.
I like the helmet had it for a while now and i do find it a little noizy but i like the flip down sun visor and modular feature.
I've had it now for about a 1000 miles. A little noisy but no more than any other Fulmer full face I've owned. Ear plugs take care of that. The fit is awesome and the anti-fog works fantastic. Air flow works well even on a 98 degree day. Great graphics and super easy to pop off the shield and clean it. I highly recommend one.
I like the overall quality and fit of this helmet. And I got the SOLFX shield too, which is AWESOME!!! But when I tried to install a J&M headset, for use with my Gold Wing system, I found that the inner sun shield mechanism interfered with the headset mounting making the headset unusable. I could maybe try another manufacturers headset that doesn't clamp onto the helmet the same way. However, I also discovered that after about an hour I get a severe pain in my forehead. I find that the seam at the top of the brow pad will dig into my head causing extreme discomfort. Due to this it is not worth spending the money on a different headset since I can't wear it for extended trips.
This helmet fit is very comfortable, and the chin guard works well, yet there is a lot of wind noise at highway speeds. I can't use my ipod because the wind noise overrides the ear plug volume. Otherwise it felt very comfortable on several week long trips.
When I first saw this helmet I thought cool. Then I saw it was a Bell and thought real cool. I wear glasses and before with my full face helmet I had to pull off my glasses, put on the helmet and then put the glasses back on. With the Revolver helmet I can leave my glasses on by moving the chin guard up and out of the way to put on the helmet. The drop down sun shade works fine with my glasses. I have only had two rides with it; about 30 miles total, but I like it.
I love the dropdown shade and magnetic strap keeper removal of shield is easy also. Graphics top notch and interior is confortable. If buying to wear with glasses though It will not work. I onky wear glasses to work but will be using my old kbc modular for this task since this helmet has no room or slot for frames. Had to point my glasses down towards my eyes and look through them at a 20 or 30 degree angle while they kind of just float there and move around.
I've ridden hundereds of thousands of miles from no helmet to full face. The REVOLVER EVO is no louder than anything else I've ridden. The field of view is great. The windshield and tinted flip down visor have excellent optics and with the breath cup and nose piece removed for summer riding, that little catch as you lift the face up is gone. I love the helmet! Peeking around the inside, it looks like there are reliefs for some speakers above the cheek pads. Perfect! Especially for trips of a few hours! It's the best price for the quality of any modular helmet that I've seen or used yet, this being my 3rd modular. Price is the last thing I look at when I'm saving my melon. How BELL gave us such a helmet for this price is a great value! Thank you BELL... again!!!

The Revolver is my second modular helmet purchase. I bought the Revolver to replace an HJC modular that was unstable, and allowed cold air, and bugs under the chin bar. Nothing like a bee between your face and face shield at highway speed!
The Revolver arrived on time. My first impression of the helmet out of the box was quality. Everything from the operation of the sun shield, vents, and flip up face was smooth and had a quality feel.
On my first ride wearing the Revolver I was very pleased with how stable the helmet is at highway speed. No more buffeting as I had experienced with the HJC. The anti fog coating on the face shield works as advertised. I had no issues with fogging even when waiting at traffic lights with the shield closed. The only negative thing I have to say about the Revolver EVO is the helmet is very loud. The wind noise from the bottom of the helmet is awful. If I pull my shoulders up where they touch the bottom of the helmet it solves the problem. Whisper quiet but is not a comfortable or sustainable position. I use ear plugs with this helmet as the wind noise is so bad. I hope Bell takes another look at the design on the bottom of this helmet. Even with the wind noise I am pleased overall with the Revolver. The helmet is light weight, stable, and has quality features. Just needs a little more attention to the wind noise issue.

The second floor of this beautiful log home features a loft that has a sitting room, and a full-sized bathroom. This log home plan also has a two car garage, so you have enough space for storage, and always have a warm vehicle to get into. The upstairs dormers make the loft space feel larger and add to the appeal of this log home build. You will want to take a look at the detailed log home plan to see the layout of this great log home plan. This log home plan has three bedrooms, and two bathrooms that are a nice size for full-time living with a family, or for a comfortable vacation home to get away throughout the year. This log home is 1,777 square feet on two levels.
On the My Woodhome site, you will find a wide variety of log home and log cabin floor plans from barn and garage floor plans, log cabin floor plans, and hybrid log home floor plans. You will also find log house floor plans, log home floor plans, log ranch floor plans, modern log home floor plans and traditional log home floor plans.
You can use these log cabin floor plans for a wide variety of uses from the garden, as log guest cabins, as artist studios, log workshops, backyard office, or backyard places to eat or summer party. Imagine building one of these log cabins, many with covered front patios in a location that you have purchased just for your dream log site. Log cabins, log homes and log chalets have been around for centuries, and are some of the first homes that were built in this country. The materials for log homes and log cabins are typically found in the location or area that they are built. With logs and stone from the locations they are built, log homes and log cabins with stone fireplaces have long been a strong and comfortable type of home build.
Have you ever stayed in a log cabin or log home? Log homes and log cabins are a good choice of home build, socially, environmentally and economically. Building a home out of natural material, with a material that is renewable is a great way to help the environment, provided the logs for the log home build are harvested from a forest that is sustainably managed. There is nothing better than wood when it comes to what you use to build your home. Wood is healthier to live in, good to breathe in, and a material that is non-toxic. Logs are also known to have thermal mass, which means they are a good insulator, which keeps heat inside in the colder months, and keep the home cooler in the warmer months.
There is nothing quite like a log cabin or log home built with natural material; it makes you feel at home. Log cabins and log homes have long been enjoyed by family's and friends around the world, both as homes and places to vacation and enjoy nature, and these great homes will continue to be used, designed and built to meet the needs and lifestyles of people from around the world.

After reading your comments on my January 31 apron entry, I've concluded that something is wrong with me. How is it possible that so few of you wear aprons when you cook? If I didn't wear an apron all day, every day, I'd have to hurl myself into the washing machine before bed each night, on the heavy duty cycle, with a supplemental rinse at the end. And I'm a WRITER.
But enough about me. Three of you have won vintage-style aprons from Sur La Table. I know this sounds trite, but it was incredibly difficult to pick just three winners. Many of you wrote heartfelt explanations for why you needed to upgrade your aprons, and your responses moved me.
[FYI: While Sur La Table will generously provide each of the winners with one of the aprons pictured above, I have neither asked for nor been offered any money or goods for these posts. In other words, I am a terrible businesswoman in need of professional counseling.]
Winners include...
Kelly, who wrote: I need an apron because cooking helps me keep sane. Life sometimes throws us curveballs. Overwhelms us. Lately I have been dealing with such obstacles by pulling out a bag of flour and losing myself in it. Baking, cooking, experimenting in the kitchen lets me forget all that stuff. I think that talent - letting the world melt away while cooking - is kind of like a super power. Making me a superhero for a couple of hours... And every superhero needs a cape. Or an apron.
Foodforthought, who wrote: I cook because it reminds me of family. Particularly of my grandmother, who wore an apron that smelled like Red Door perfume and cinnamon... I'd love to wear an apron as thin layer of protection against sweating the small stuff in life; that a little mess is just that. An apron is a reminder of what matters: tiny hands in the kitchen and memories only cooks can create.
Jennifer T.G., who wrote: Throughout high school I worked various food-service jobs, each requiring the purchase and use of a hideously-plain, logo-ed apron. I slowly amassed quite a few of these, as faded aprons were unacceptable, or we moved and I had to find a new apron-donning job. As a mommy, I can never justify buying a fancy new apron when I have still have a couple of these dingy things hanging around... but I would love to make the conversion. I'm sure that once I am able to *guilt-free* experience pretty aprons, I will never be able to turn back and will finally donate the last of the old aprons and start building my own collection!
If you haven't seen the other entries, pop back and read them. You are a crew of talented writers, and you make me proud, every single day, to call you my readers.
Thank you for participating.

When it was initially discussed as a rude repercussion of a bungled budget deal, the prospect that 1.3 million Americans would lose long-term unemployment benefits just days after Christmas was bad enough.
Now, that the day has come, however, it stands as a stark reminder of the extent to which the United States has regressed from the days when Franklin Delano Roosevelt greeted the Holiday Season with a celebration of the fact that: "Today neighborliness no longer can be confined to one's little neighborhood. Life has become too complex for that. In our country neighborliness has gradually spread its boundaries—from town, to county, to State and now at last to the whole Nation."
Imagine a country that, during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, abandons those hit hardest by economic turbulence, and you have a sense of what the United States has become under the cruel hand not just of House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan – who refused to agree to any budget deal that included an extension of benefits – and those members of Congress, Republicans and Democrats, who compromised with the failed Republican vice presidential candidate's austerity agenda.
Because Congress accepted Ryan's crude calculus 1.3 million jobless Americans were abandoned on December 28 by a government that could, and should, have assisted them. And, if Ryan continues to get his way, unemployment benefits will end in coming months for an additional 1.9 million Americans.
"It is not only immoral to cut off help for workers struggling to find jobs, it is also bad economics," argues Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. "At a time when long-term unemployment is near a record level, cutting benefits will hurt the rest of the economy and cause even more jobs to disappear."
Ryan claimed that extending jobless benefits "would have blown a hole in our deficits" and "prolonged unemployment."
Ryan is off the mark, morally and economically.
Sanders correctly points out that there is no sound economic argument for adopting the Ryan approach. A continuing refusal by Congress to extend benefits has the potential, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, to cause a $25 billion blow to the economy in 2014. The CBO projects a 0.2 percent drop in the nation's gross domestic product – and the loss of 200,000 additional jobs -- unless the benefits are extended.
In other words, this is cruelty for the sake of cruelty.
That's what adds a decidedly Dickensian twist to the bipartisan budget deal that National Nurses United correctly characterized as "an endorsement of austerity at the expense of all of us."
There is little debate that Ryan defined the scope and character of the budget negotiations that played out in November and early December. Yes, he would have gone further if Senate Budget Committee chair Patty Murray, D-Washington, and other Democrats had not been in positions to constrain his ambitions. But Ryan bragged that he a deal that reflected his bottom line: no new taxes on the extraordinarily wealthy, no closing of loopholes for corporations, no economic stimulus, continuation of many of the worst of the sequester cuts and an austerity calculus that unburdened billionaires while resting esponsibility for reducing debts and deficits on the shoulders of federal employees and military personnel who were told to pay more for their benefits.
Though Murray and many of the leading lights of the Republican and Democratic caucuses in the House and Senate were involved in the budget negotiations, Ryan was the definitional player. And he shaped a plan that embraces his fiscal ethic of erring consistently on the side of Wall Street speculators, "golden parachute" CEOs and million-dollar campaign donors.
When Ryan is done delivering for his core constituencies, there's little left for working Americans — and even less for out-of-work Americans.
Explaining his opposition to the budget deal, Congressman Mark Pocan, D-Wisconsin, said: "At the end of the day, the bill abandons 1.3 million Americans who desperately need unemployment insurance, and does nothing to promote economic growth or job creation. Furthermore, the legislation is paid for on the backs of the middle class and military families, while not touching the wealthiest amongst us and allowing corporations to continue to benefit from tax loopholes."
Pocan, a former co-chair of the Wisconsin Legislature's powerful Joint Finance Committee and a member with Ryan of the House Budget Committee, is recognizing reality.
The budget deal fails to demand that the primary beneficiaries of the federal policies that Ryan has helped shape for more than a decade — bailed-out banks, border-hopping multinational corporations and billionaires seeking tax shelters — do anything more to reduce deficits and debts. Instead, it shifts the burden to federal workers and military personnel, who were hit with a demand that they pay more for basic benefits.
That's how Ryan's austerity works: CEOs get to keep their golden parachutes because the government is making the clerks and park rangers and soldiers and sailors do all the sacrificing. It's redistribution of the wealth upward, in the grand tradition of the Charles Dickens character Ebenezer Scrooge, who griped that his clerk's request for a Christmas holiday was "a poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every 25th of December."
The cruelest calculus comes now, after Dec. 25, as 1.3 million Americans are denied assistance that they need to pay for shelter, food and the transportation they use in searching for jobs that in many parts of the country just aren't available. Roughly 28,000 Wisconsin families, including many residing in Janesville, Ryan's hard-hit hometown, are among those slated to lose benefits.
Paul Ryan and Patty Murray had every opportunity to include an extension in the agreement. Democrats were angling for it, and Republicans were unlikely to balk at a proposal to help the needy in the holiday season. Yet, when the plan was presented, no provision was made for the long-term unemployed. Despite Democratic objections prior to the House and Senate votes, the measure advanced with overwhelming support from compromise-prone members of both parties. And it was signed by the president on December 26.
Then they hightailed it home for the Holidays.
So it was that a Congress that could easily have cared for the poor took actions that suggested the sentiment similar to that of old Scrooge, who replied to a request for a donation for the destitute, with a growl of: "It's not my business."
Politicians are rarely so crass in their language. Yet the budget deal Paul Ryan did so much to shape, and that too many Republicans and Democrats endorsed, contains precisely nothing for those whose want is keenly felt.
The question now is whether Congress will be shamed sufficiently to act.
There are certainly those who are ready to respond.
On January 6, when the Senate reconvenes, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, says the first measure up for consideration will be a plan to restore long-term unemployment benefits. The measure is backed by Nevada Republican Dean Heller and 21 members of the Senate Democratic Caucus.
Give Heller credit. He is doing the right thing -- for his constituents and for the national economy -- by breaking with Ryan and the austerity agenda.
But there must be a bigger break – in the Senate and, especially, in the Republican-controlled House. As Sanders says: "The critical question is how many Republicans are prepared to stand with unemployed workers."
Put another way: How many Republicans will join Heller is recognizing that the circumstance of the long-term jobless is their business. Indeed, it is all of our business.

Getting a felony drug charge expunged is mandatory if you want to start your life over. With the charge still on your record, you will lose out on lucrative job offers and face difficulty building credit. You may also be denied residence at an apartment complex or housing unit. Though getting a felony drug charge expunged is a very difficult task, it can be done, and it comes with many benefits.
Complete your probation or parole term. You cannot have your charge expunged if you are still in the court system. Ideally, at least one to five years should have passed since your court supervision was terminated.
Avoid getting charged with and convicted of another crime. Judges are much more likely to deny your request if you have a long criminal history. Even a minor misdemeanor can ultimately cause you to lose your case.
Seek a local lawyer and set up a consultation. The laws regarding drug charge expungement differ by state. An attorney with drug-charge experience will be able to inform you of the specific requirements and direct you through the process.
Create a comprehensive list detailing all the positive things you've done with your life since you were convicted. If you earned a degree, mention it. If you volunteered somewhere, add it as well. Cite every specific thing, including jobs you've worked.
Follow your state's procedures. This typically requires filing a motion for expungement, in which you must make a case about why you deserve this. Include the aforementioned list, as well as recommendations from teachers, employers and even your former probation officer.
Write a sincere letter to the judge and insert it into your petition. It should be heartfelt and honest. You must convince him that you really have changed and that you intend to move forward with your life in a positive way.
Wait. It can take weeks or months before a court is able to review your motion. Don't send any additional motions or call the court. Wait patiently for them to write back to you with the results.
Try again. In case you are denied, wait a year and try again. There is no limit to how many times you may request to have your record expunged.

Once again he's got the feeling.
But his dreams are always drained by the ceiling.
He keep on seeing this reflection and all he wants to do is
To follow it's direction.
Nowadays he watches the sunrise.
Because it reminds him of her clear eyes.
If only he could feel her might.
It would help him through the night.
It would helphim find delight.
His mind is always set on her turning his mind into a blur.
The natural beauty he claims that she is cna never rebuild his departed
When will he see her draw pictures of all they never saw?
When will he see her eyes closer them a dream away?
Everytime he sees the nightfall.
He believes that he can hear the wind call.
Winter came and time grew older.
And all he wanted to do was to hold her.
Never to run away again.
His mind is always set one her...
When will he see her draw pictures of...
When will he see her draw pictures of...

Ex-offenders 'should be allowed to become magistrates'
Convicted criminals and recovered drug addicts should be allowed to become magistrates, according to an influential right-wing think tank.
Policy Exchange said reformed characters could bring "first-hand experience" to the role.
It also called for a 10-year limit on serving as a magistrate.
The Ministry of Justice said crimes did not disqualify people from being magistrates but they should be "people of integrity".
There are currently about 23,000 magistrates across 330 courts in England and Wales.
'Assembly-line justice'
Current rules stipulate that those convicted of serious crimes or a series of minor offences would be "unlikely" to be considered for the voluntary roles.
But Max Chambers from Policy Exchange said the system needed opening up "to those with first-hand experience of what addiction and the criminal justice system are really like".
"In today's world, whether you're allowed to become a magistrate has got to be about more than whether you move in the same social circles as other magistrates," he said.
He called for the guidelines to be changed to open up the positions to those who have avoided re-offending for five years and done voluntary work.
"Who better to help turn offenders around and make our streets safer than someone who's been through it, come out the other side and is now making a positive contribution to society?" he asked.
He said such an approach would move from "assembly-line justice to problem-solving justice".
Policy Exchange was set up in 2002 by a group including the senior Conservatives Michael Gove, Nick Boles and Francis Maude.
The Ministry of Justice said: "A criminal conviction does not automatically disqualify someone from being appointed as a magistrate, nor does a previous addiction to drugs or alcohol, but the public has a right to expect that magistrates will be people of integrity and good character.
"For that very important reason, it will remain the case that anyone in whom the public is unlikely to have confidence will not be appointed to the magistracy."

Feingold-Tomah VA Scandal Ad
WFRV CBS 5 | 5-5-16 @ 5 p.m.
Something is missing here. This is a classic case of bias by omission.
Without showing the ad in question or even explaining it adequately, WFRV CBS 5 reported the Democrat's reaction to a campaign ad criticizing Russ Feingold.
What WFRV failed to inform viewers is that the ad features the whistle blower of the deadly Tomah VA scandal.
In the ad the whistle blower publicly criticizes Russ Feingold for failing to respond to a letter from a veteran's family which detailed serious concerns at the Tomah VA while the Democrat was a sitting Senator.
Instead of reporting the allegations that Feingold failed to protect veterans in Tomah as its competitors did on this day, WFRV omitted the details of the ad's criticism and spun the story to be an attack on Senator Ron Johnson.
WFRV Anchor: … Feingold drew similarities between Donald Trump and Ron Johnson who endorsed the billionaire yesterday.
Russ Feingold: The sad thing is that Donald Trump and Senator Johnson are similar in terms of not having serious solutions to the problems but just using anger as a way to promote their political careers.
WFRV Anchor: Feingold also criticized Johnson's recent attack ad on his response to the Tomah VA hospital scandal saying he never received a memo mentioned in the ad.
Way to let Feingold control the narrative, WFRV CBS 5 let Feingold off the hook from having to answer a legitimate question about his response or lack of it to allegations that our veterans were being harmed at the Tomah VA.

McHENRY – Administrators at McHenry High School – East Campus said they heightened security Wednesday after a threat was posted on a personal social media account.
However, McHenry Police Deputy Chief John Birk said parents of students have nothing to worry about. He said police still are investigating whether the threat was credible.
Birk would not provide more details about what the threat consisted of because it still is under investigation and involves a minor, he said. He said there was no threat aimed at the school as a whole, but declined to provide further details.
Parents and guardians were notified of the threat through an email Wednesday morning from Principal Jeff Prickett. The email was sent to the Northwest Herald by dean of students Nat Zunkel, who said he was unable to comment on the incident.
The school's statement originally said the potential threat was posted on a student's personal social media account, but Birk said the post was not from a student.
Police identified the person responsible for posting the message, and there was no evidence to substantiate any actual threat, Prickett said in the email.
The threatening message was posted on the account Wednesday morning. School officials immediately contacted police and internal security protocols were heightened, according to the statement.
"I would like to thank the McHenry Police Department for their assistance and immediate response," Prickett said in the email. "... Nothing is more important than the safety and security of our school community."
Prickett encouraged students and parents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior or activity to school officials or the McHenry Police Department.

Carbon Tariffs?
First of all, it points out that unilateral carbon tariffs is likely to spark a trade war with countries like China and India, something which would harm America (or Europe) as much as these countries, and they therefore don't think it is a good idea.
Secondly, they also point out that unless carbon tariffs are imposed, efforts in America and Europe to reduce carbon emissions would only have a trivial effect on global carbon emissions, since these carbon emission reductions would lower the price of oil and coal and so likely increase its use in China and India, thus offsetting the reductions in America and Europe.
It could here be added that even carbon tariffs will not likely provide enough incentive since American and European goods will still be disadvantaged in markets outside of America and Europe.
And there is really little chance that China and India will really voluntarily agree to reduce its emissions. Here is what the Indian spokesman on the issue said:
"India will not accept any emission-reduction target -- period. This is a non-negotiable stand."
In case you wonder why they take that position and are unlikely to change their position, see this video from the Competitive Enterprise Institute about the suffering that carbon emission cuts would create:

Modern Short Haircut for Men
Men love their haircuts to be versatile so that they can adjust them to all the different situations and environments they move in. With a clean cut short look featuring short sides and longer top hair, all of the bases are covered. In this first image the top hair was styled towards the front and forms a short fringe that reaches down to about half of his forehead.
Sides are neat and short just like the graduated back. Of course all of that chic needs a bit of a masculine infusion and this comes with the handsome and well defined, yet short, sideburns. His color is a very natural dark blonde with subtle highlights that look as if they were created by the sun.

How to simulate error messages in your prototypes
In this tutorial, you will learn how to simulate error messages in your interactive prototypes, i.e. when a user types in an email address in the wrong format, an error message will appear.
You can download the below example here.
If you leave the first field empty and you don't insert a valid email address, you will be prompted by an error message
- In a new web prototype, drag all the components you will need onto the canvas: 6 Text fields, 3 Input text fields, and a button.
- Fill them in to match the example. Remember to include the error messages, which will only be displayed if the first input field is left empty or if a wrongly formatted email is typed in.
- Select the error message Text fields, go to the Properties tab and tick the "Hide Component" option, to mark them hidden by default.
- Next, we will define the "Submit" button events. Select the button widget and go to the Events tab.
- Add an "On Click" + "Show" event, selecting the "empty field" error message and click OK.
- In the events tab, click on the 'add condition' link on the left of the event: you will be prompted by the expression builder, where you'll define the error validation. In this case we are going to check if the first input field is empty. To do so, build an expression dragging – in this order – the first input text, the 'equals' function and – from the Constants tab – the text 'AA' to the expression builder. By default the Text constant is empty. Click OK twice to go back to the canvas.
- In the events tab, click on the Else link to add an Hide event (which applies to all other cases, i.e. when any text appears in the input field).
- Go back to the Events tab, click on the gear icon above the first event and add another "On Click" + "Hide" event, this time selecting the "wrong email format" error message. This time, when you add the condition, you will need to use the 'not' function. Drag, the NOT function, followed by the RegExp function (which checks a text against a regular expression), the Email input field and from the Constants tab, the 'email' regular expression. Click OK twice.
That's it! You can now simulate error messages in your prototypes!

Social networking sites have infected our everyday lives. Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc. have implanted a seed deep within the lives of many, if not, all teenagers and adults. This seed often grows into the idea of self-glorification in ones image. In today's world, popularity is not determined by being a jock or being a cheerleader. It is about how one portrays ones image, manipulated or not. These ego-driven individuals are often judged on appearance, online friends and tweets; shouts; and wall posts.
Images online are for everyone to view. With that being said, it is often believed that in order to achieve popularity (or just social acceptance); one must upload an image that is a blown up representation of their true self. Pictures in the users profiles are often exaggerated. Awkward angles are used to represent a more appealing side. Self-shots are captured through clever usage of bathroom mirrors, many times in school.
Ones entire image becomes distorted online. Favorite movies are listed because they are popular, not because the user enjoys watching them. Bands listed are mainstream, to follow along with the flow of society. Favorite books read are often intellectual, providing a false perspective of the users knowledge. This inflated information is not real. It does not conform to the original ideas and beliefs the user once contained. The real information along with the user themselves, is shrouded by the deceit of the information shown.
This seed planted within ourselves has flourished to such an extent that these social networking sites are more informative than face-to-face communication. Did Charles break up with Dorothy? Facebook said he was single. Simple questions, answered in an even simpler manner (a phone call), are now answered by an instantly updated infrastructure. No longer is a phone call needed to ask a friend if they are going to your birthday party. Just send a Facebook invitation. Want to know what your friends are doing? Just check their tweets. Today's society has grown so dependent, in an almost addicted manner to Online Communication that stopping or reverting to old school methods is simply not an option.

Kate Beckinsale reveals how love impacted her career choices
- Bang Showbiz
- 23 May 2016
British actress Kate Beckinsale has revealed how love influenced her career choices
Kate Beckinsale allowed her love life to dictate her career decisions.
The British actress starred as Selene in five 'Underworld' movies and in retrospect, admits she only agreed to accepting the part so often because the franchise was directed by Len Wiseman, her now estranged husband.
The 42-year-old beauty - who stars as a vampire in the franchise - said: "The second one we absolutely did because we were just getting married. When he did a movie, he'd be tied up for more than two years, and we weren't ready to have that happen to us. That was 100 percent what that was about."
Although the London-born star does not harbour any regrets about having made the movies, she admits it probably overshadowed some of her other work over the last decade.
She told the Sunday Times newspaper: "I don't regret having done it, but I think I regret it has eclipsed some of the things that feel much more genuinely me. It's slightly taken over - it was running the show a bit, in a way that was surprising to me."
Kate is currently co-writing a script with author Emma Forest which is, in part, informed by her own experience of motherhood with her daughter Lily, whom she had with her former husband Michael Sheen in 1999.
She said: "My family life and my life as a mum have informed a lot of my choices. I don't feel like I was robbed of things. It's a whole life. It's not like you're all choosing from every single possible option and you just make some s**t choices.
"You also choose from what's available to you and what's practical in your life. I don't feel like I am done with it."

This is how far we've come in this spending binge:
A congressman — on this show — bragging that the latest stimulus package they're working on has only $10 billion of pork. And Congressman Chaka Fattah — a lovely gentleman — said that I should be impressed.
Only $10 billion in earmarks? Not bad for a $410 billion spending package. That's on top of a nearly $800 billion stimulus package… which is on top of a, likely, trillion dollar financial rescue package.
Lots of packages. And here I am arguing over such a tiny package.
I guess the congressman's right: In the scheme of things, $10 billion does seem like chump change. But there was a time when $10 billion bought you a war, or built you an entire highway system, or got you a substantial down payment on getting to the moon.
But that was then. This is now.
And now, $10 billion is better suited paying for things far less grandiose. Like $59 million for Pacific salmon management. Or $250,000 for security cameras in Pennsylvania. Or $150,000 for theater renovations in Idaho.
I suppose when you're spending hundreds of billions, who cares about $400,000 earmarked to combat bullying — I guess unless you were getting bullied. Or $200,000 for tattoo removal.
Chump change, I guess. And even the president seems to be saying I'm a chump for making a big deal of it.
But consider this: Those projects I just mentioned represent but $60 million of the $10 billion Congressman Fattah admitted was earmark stuff.
Pray tell, what other stuff have I missed? Have we all missed?
And what has come of us when our leaders brag about keeping waste down to $10 billion in a package?
If that's progress my friends, please tell me the definition of something else: failure.

Documents found embedded in a pornographic movie have revealed a storehouse of information about al Qaeda's plans for future terrorist attacks. In May of last year, a 22-year-old named Maqsood Lodin was traveling from Pakistan to Germany, and was stopped by the German police. The police, while interrogating him, found hidden in his underwear a pornographic video titled "Kick Ass" and a file called "Sexy Tanja."
After weeks of work, the police cracked the code; they discovered the password to the file and more than 100 al Qaeda documents that included information about future terrorist attacks, such as seizing cruise ships, with the writer of the file saying:
"we could hijack a passenger ship and use it to pressurize the public."
Investigative journalist Yassin Musharbash, from the German newspaper Die Zeit, who was the first reporter on the story, understood the threat to mean that the terrorists "would then start executing passengers on those ships and demand the release of particular prisoners," including dressing passengers in orange jump suits, imitating the al Qaeda prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, and then videotaping their execution.
Among the documents discovered were terrorist training manuals in PDF format in German, English and Arabic. Another document was called "Future Works," which is believed to come from the innermost chambers of the al Qaeda leadership. Lodin and Yusuf Ocak, a man who allegedly traveled back to Europe with him, are now on trial in Berlin. Western counter terrorism officials said that the men arrested had their names on a watch list.
Musharbash stated: "The document delivers very clearly the notion that al Qaeda knows it is being followed very closely . . . It specifically says that Western intelligence agencies have become very good at spoiling attacks, that they have to come up with new ways and better plotting."

A Room of One's Own
"A Room of One's Own", "Wasteland" and "J. Alfred Prufrock": The Affairs of Society
An underlying, general disgust for the opposite sex is one of the sentiments shared by writers Virginia Woolf and T.S. Eliot. While the two authors have similar perspectives on the two genders, both viewing males as the inferior sex, the means by which Woolf and Eliot come to this conclusion are quite different. Likewise, the emotions that arise from their beliefs are quite dissimilar. Writing in the aftermath of WWI, both authors have strong emotions about the society that has emerged from the rubble. Woolf, in "A Room of One's Own", takes on an air of defiance toward the societal implication that men are superior to women, and concludes by picking her way through a jumble of thoughts: that men are afflicted with an inferiority complex that can only be fed by women, and that it is society that perpetuates these circumstances. Eliot, on the other hand, feels that women are superior because they hold power over men; men need women, however disgusted they are by the female gender, because of the innate urge to procreate and because society dictates that man must have a mate. These ideas are portrayed in Eliot's poems "The "Wasteland" and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."

The thermostat broke down in summer 1999, at 35000 km; this is the only remarkable fault I have to report.
General Comments:
In spite of its quite stiff suspensions, my Brava is a fully satisfying car; good looking, practical, reliable and absolutely pleasant to drive. Quality of plastic material inside could have been better, but after all they don't make any noise. I keep postponing the purchase of my next car, since my brava still looks good as new and runs like the first day.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

text: GreenWorks, working with a consulting civil engineer was contracted by the Port of Portland to design a new auto storage facility at T-6 adjacent to the Columbia River and Kelly Point Park. A decision was made early on to provide a 40 acre storage yard using porous asphalt pavement to minimize runoff and time-consuming permitting. GreenWorks' role on the project was to design erosion control/ riparian enhancement along the Columbia River buffer zone; "raingardens" (infiltration planters) for areas intercepting runoff from non-porous areas; swales; and entry landscaping incorporating monument signage and raingardens as design features.

Who as a child has not taken part in the freedom of escaping the diaper change and running off wild with not a care in the world? From my mom's recounts of my own childhood, to siblings and cousins and even friends parents reliving embarrassing stories about stark naked runners all have the same key idea; no shame or body issues. Shame and body image issues are things that are taught and observed, not something you are born with. Could you imagine as a child standing waiting for your bus in your neon tight biker shorts and tank top looking at your friend and asking "do these shorts make me look fat?" or avoiding playing because it would mess up your hair "sorry I can't play ball with you, I just did my hair"; your probably laughing at the image right now because of how absurd the idea is. I cannot ever remember worrying about what I looked like as a child; I was too busy being a child! In most of my family's pictures of me I am most certainly looking dishevelled but I also look like I'm having the time of my life and smiling from ear to ear in every picture. So at what age do we stop striping down because we are hot and want to run through a sprinkler butt naked or when is it decided that we have to worry about our weight and appearance? I am not an expert in child psychology, nor do I know the answer to that question, what I do know is that it is way too early and children are not coming up with it on their own. Could you imagine "OMG Janet is by far the fattest grade two there is, what is she wearing?"?
Children are incredible observers, they hear and absorb more than most people give them credit for. Simple learned habits that children pick up from people in their lives and with media being focused on the super thin and perfect it's a scary fact that it is almost inevitable that children will grow up with insecurities. I'm not saying that we should all drop our clothes because we feel like it or become obese because we don't care; I am however saying that moderation and self-love and not loathing are key ingredients. Teaching and demonstrating that beautiful isn't a mould and that there is more to a person then the outer shell.
We need to realize that nobody is perfect, so to strive for constant perfection is like striving for constant failure. Your body is yours for life, so get used to it, yes be healthy and make smart choices, but do not fall a victim to pressures that set people up for failure and possible addictions and disorders. It breaks my heart when I hear a child make comments about their weight or being fat or teens talking about how they haven't eaten all day on purpose because they want to lose weight. I have been a witness to amazing people falling victim to eaten disorders because of twisted views of being perfect getting out of control and that person ends up being lost to the disease that is far from pretty or perfect.
We cannot ever dream of trying to fix other peoples views until we fix ourselves and that is when I think we can take notes from babies and small children who have yet to be tainted by unrealistic standards. We need to not only take steps but giant leaps and bounds back to our earlier year views of ourselves. When is the last time you looked at yourself and were completely happy with what you saw? When is the last time you walked around naked or even were naked in front of another person without hiding in the dark? If we all had a person who followed us around all day with an airbrush then I would say sure your expectations to look like someone whose job is to always look like that and has been touched up by magazine editors is completely justifiable, but until then we need to step back and take stock in what's real. To me and many others I have talked to about similar topics someone who is happy and smiling and secure is way more attractive then someone who is so done up that they are afraid to move and are obviously incredibly insecure with themselves.
Am I always super secure with myself, no, I have my bloated hormonal hard on me days like most people do. But do I starve myself, do I cut other people down to make me feel better or have unrealistic goals of how I should look? NO! I like who I am and I know that no one is perfect, I think that people's imperfections are what makes them unique, we have all seen the movie step ford wives and that does not end well…, sure I feel like I could lose a few pounds, but I know I will never be a size zero, my love affair with food would never allow that… nor my 5'11 body frame.
Let's make positive changes with our own views of ourselves and what beautiful is so that someone day there will be a generation of children who will never be upset about their being butter on their bagel or counting the calories of everything they eat and will never have to know what an eating disorder is. Take this lesson from the babes and learn to love you and everything about you.
Start by not caring if someone is watching you and have fun instead of trying to look like you're having fun; as a child I never cared if someone was watching me, I was far too involved in whatever story I had created for myself in my make believe world.
Leave the house without make up, I promise there is not a force field preventing you from doing so.
Go one day without thinking a negative thought about your appearance, do it I dare you, see if you can.
Idolize someone for the person they are and not their perceived outward perfection.
Start by taking these baby steps in the shoes of babes and learn to unconditionally love yourself all over again, it's a love affair you won't want to miss.
Lotsa Love,
