Hey guys, just wanted to ask a few questions:
1) At what point would you recommend it being ok to include stretches into a routine? I've read around and found that some add it in 3 months in whilst others add it in 3 weeks in. Some even from the get go. Any thoughts?
2) At what point should I begin to add on more minutes to my 10min jelq session? A week or two? Sorry I'm just a bit worried about it and well, thought it better to be cautious than cockless
3) Last but not least; Atm I'm 5x5. Ideally I'd like to get to 7.75 x 5.5. I'm doing a PESG's beginners routine and look to stick with it increasing it bit by bit for at least 3 months then pop on the JP90. Then 3 months after go on to advanced etc.
-on that note, I guess what I'm asking is... how long? lol I'm thinking 2 years... and that's a bit of a downer but something I can live with I suppose. I have patience. But can anyone give me a second opinion on this?
Oh and apologies if I don't respond it's probably due to falling asleep at the computer lol.It may be hard but perseverance and carefulness are the keys to A BIG COCK

Some, maybe the majority, of newbie routines incorporate manual stretches from the start. There would be no harm in trying a few, gauge your reaction to them (EQ + PIs), and go from there. Try to make sure you are well warmed up prior to stretches, and don't pull to the point of feeling pain or discomfort--just get a good stretch into the tunica and supporting ligaments around the base of the penis. Stretches in different directions work the various ligaments.
Caution is always a good thing in PE. You can probably try a little more time jelqing, perhaps up to 5 more minutes every week or two, but you must pay close attention again to your EQ and PIs. Your dick will definitely let you know if you cross the line. The point is to avoid crossing the line (if it happens) in a big way--so that's the value in the caution you are employing, and good on you for that approach. Male pattern boldness has no place in PE.
You have a good plan on workout progression. Keep your approach fluid and adaptable. You might find you can ramp up a bit faster than you anticipated. Likewise, you may have to move slower. Experiences differ widely in PE, so you seek out the path best suited to you. Two years would be quick to get 2-3/4 inches. Off the top of my head, I don't remember reading about successes of that magnitude occurring that fast, but my memory sucks, so it might have happened. To be on the safe side, figure on longer than that. PE is usually described as a marathon, a long-haul pursuit, for good reason. That's why we work so hard to make the workout routine an integral and natural part of our weekly lives. Time takes care of the rest if only you have the discipline to get the workouts done.
Good luck!Wood is good!

Wake up Quantum!
I think Handcramp already answered most everything. I'll make one addition.
PE won't be a fun journey if you're thinking about when it will be over. Try to derive at least some enjoyment from your sessions. For many, PE is a relaxing, enjoyable activity. With that perspective, you can still be goal-oriented, but you won't be in a waiting game.I am no longer an active member on the PEGym.

So, I look at it as training ourselves to let go of a singular focus on some size goal, like the usual 8 x 6 (the Golden Ratio of dick size), and instead figuring out how to love the process itself. It's probably easier with something like jelqing, since that often provides pleasurable stimulation while doing it, especially wet. Use your warm-up minutes as practice to clear your mind of distractions. Your PE session can become a kind of moving meditation. Visualize each move as it's done. Much of my PE goes on with eyes closed, with a close focus on sensations in my dick and ligaments. It's a good opportunity to learn to rely on imagination for sexual stimulation sometimes needed to help get partially erect for jelqing, instead of needing some kind of porn in front of you.
Also, make a 'right now' goal of your PE the maximization of penile health. Adjust your routine so that your hard-ons are as good and frequent as you are able to have them. Keep your dick feeling good in between workouts. Enjoy those daily benefits of smartly done PE; enjoy the minor reward of finishing just one more session on a workout day. Time takes care of the rest.Wood is good!

All that needs to be said has been said, I just thought you might like to hear the perspective of someone new to the processs, I have 15 days to go in my first 3 months, i've been doing the JP90, and as far as stretches are concerned I started them from Day 1. The thing about stretches is that you can have different levels of intensity, doing light stretches isn't going to cause you any damage if thats what you're worried about, about 2 months in I increased the intensity to a harder pull, you want to make sure you've started conditioning your whole member before you start anything too hard.
As for the jelqing, i've just kept mine constant, If you read some inspirational progress logs quite a few members just have a set amount of time, It varies from person to person how they approach jelqing.
And as for how long, that realllly depends on individual differences. As long as you start right, keep constant and get a routine that works for you, it'll come. In my head I have the idea that one year good PEing would equate to an inch length, but thats just a figure in my head based on a million different things. You can see some people getting no visisble gains from the first 3 months, or you can see people getting 0.5" in the same time. But the first 3 months is more conditioning so don't worry about gains. just keep at it mateI'm back!

Here's that email:
1) Wednesday Lunch
Sure enough, I ended up of having to get one of the waiters to hold me up as I tried to use my walker to get to my friend's car. On the drive home, I called my part-time caregiver so he could meet us at the house. He had to pick me up and carry me inside.
I have been having these so-called orthostatic hypotension attacks with increasing frequency and severity for the past year or so. The diuretic blood pressure medication prescribed when I was in Sibley's Renaissance rehab center seems to have triggered even more attacks.
Also compounding my current malaise is the newly diagnosed hyponatremia. The low level of sodium was first noted in the blood work done in Dr. Marcus's office just before I fell and fractured my hip.
Studies have shown that hyponatremia increases the risk of falls, and my experience confirms that connection. I've had Parkinson's for ten years. But before this hyponatremia condition, I'd had very few falls I'd attribute to my PD.
For about a week before the hip-fracture fall, I'd been feeling a deterioration in my sense of balance, no doubt as a result of the drop in sodium. This sensation has continued. I feel that the unusually severe attack of the so-called orthostatic hypotension (OH) on Wednesday was attributable to hyponatremia.
I've referred to these attacks as "so-called" orthostatic hypotension. From what I've read, OH describes low blood pressure episodes that occur when you stand up from sitting or lying down.
When my attacks began over five years ago, a change in position was often involved. But today, the incidents occur without my changing position. On Wednesday, we'd been sitting at the table for over an hour when the attack began.
2) Thursday 911 Call
On both occasions, I became unresponsive to his questions. I was aware of what was going on and what he was saying, but I was unable to respond.
Both times, he wanted to call 911. I talked him out of it the first time, but not again. These two recent events raised concerns about a possible stroke.
By the time the EMTs arrived, I was fully responsive. They did a few tests and asked a few questions, but saw no need for me to go to the hospital.
While debating whether to call 911, my housemate and I continued to take my blood pressure. Here are the readings over a 15-minute period:
- 67/34
- 59/34
- 67/38
- 64/39
The best way I've found to deal with low blood pressure is to take a very small amount of 5-HTP, the serotonin-boosting supplement I've used for years to help combat insomnia, constipation and depression. Unfortunately, it also has a side effect in my case: elevated blood pressure.
As a result, I've stopped taking the 5-HTP on a regular basis. But when I'm now faced with the danger of fainting or falling due to a rapid drop in my blood pressure, I've been experimenting with taking a very small amount of 5-HTP to see if it might counter the dangerous blood pressure drops. So far, it's been working.
It may not be the perfect remedy. But I don't know of anything else that could be so speedily effective.
I'm writing this email on Sunday afternoon, after the Wednesday lunch and the Thursday 911 call. I've been trying to reduce my fluid intake, and I've been taking one or two salt pills a day.
I had a fall this morning. Even so, I'm beginning to feel that progress is being made on restoring my sense of balance.
I'll call Dr. Grady's office in the morning to see if I can get a new blood test for sodium. I'd also be interested in any suggestions.
I will see that Dr. Herzfeld gets a copy of this email.

Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Health, Billy Kelleher TD, has welcomed the Government U-Turn on medical cards which may signal a return to the trusted discretionary system.
Reports in today's newspapers reveal that new Minister for Health Leo Varadkar will move away from his predecessor's decision to explore awarding medical cards on the grounds of medical condition.
He commented: "I welcome the U-Turn by new Health Minister Leo Varadkar to move away from the impractical decision by former Minister James Reilly to look into awarding medical cards based on medical condition.
"Minister Reilly failed to understand the consequences of his disastrous handling of the medical card fiasco but pushed ahead regardless of the concerns. The discretionary medical card system worked efficiently since it was introduced in the 1970s and Minister Reilly's tampering with it proved a complete disaster for the Fine Gael and Labour Government. The awarding of discretionary medical cards ensures that very sick people get the care they deserve without being put under financial pressure. This is fairer than any other system.
"I hope that Minister Varadkar produces a budget this year that is fair, achievable and protects frontline health services which have been butchered in recent years."

Skim through enough fashion articles and sartorial suggestion pieces and you'll notice that there is strong encouragement to pick pieces that are timeless, to select items that are not only versatile enough to mix well with different looks but are also unique enough to stand on their own if you so choose.
Needless to say, sometimes I don't subscribe to those theories. New ground will not be broken if people are too obsessed with sticking to looks that just "work". Lagerfeld wasn't King Midas; he had to break some eggs to make omelettes. (For the metaphorically challenged, that means he made mistakes sometimes.)
That being said, sneakers that can moonlight as another kind of shoe definitely does not fall into the "timeless couture" category. The appeal of these, of course, is that they can transition from one lifestyle activity to another (Ed: Lifestyle activity? What the fuck, you sound like a J. Crew catalog copy writer) without making you feel like you should have brought a wardrobe change. I was particularly floored by Emerica's Shifter Boot and Adidas Y-3's Hijiri Homme.
The Shifter Boot comes from Emerica, a heavyweight in the skate industry. The traditional profile and silhouette of a motorcycle boot is fused with the light weight and comfort of a skate shoe. Like Casanova and I have noted in earlier posts, boots are coming back with the fierceness this season, and motorcycle boots are becoming increasingly popular for both males and females to punctuate the skinny/boheim look.
The rich full-grain leather uppers and lack of obnoxious branding or logos lets you feel the quality instead of shoving it in everyone's faces, and it stays low-key as you go from tearing up the asphalt on your deck to chilling with friends at a local lounge. Or keep it gully and match it up with Commune's new offerings. Pure sex.
The Hijiri Homme from Y-3 is another stunner. Keeping the shinier patent details on the upper portion, near the ankle, is a nice attention to detail – paired with either Dior Homme slacks or mathrocker super-skinny selvage, you can keep the flashy stuff on the low-low until you decide that you're ready to unleash it.
If you've been looking for a wingtip-type of shoe that you can wear all day and all night, the Hijiri Homme fits the bill. It's art studios in the daytime fresh, and evening sidecars at the Roosevelt Hotel swank.
Let's remember though that everything has its place. If you're more of a traditionalist or a hermit that's averse to scene-hopping, these probably aren't for you. But for those of you who, like me, don't want to go out of your way to make the move to the club from the street, now you've got some options to ensure that your style is on display, but for all the right reasons.
The Emerica Shifter is available at select retailers. The Hijiri Homme is available at Y-3 dealers.

If I had a larger home I would probably own a pair of Tannoys in some form, vintage or otherwise, I adore them. Where Harbeth ticks boxes for me is the P3ESR and what it is able to do in a small (12ft x 12ft) room, especially at low volume. Regrettably I cannot afford a house upgrade !
I shall leave the 'amps all sounding the same' debate, but I will say I've shoved all sorts of amplification through them and they always sounded wonderful.
Edit: Actually I must correct that, my much loved vintage Quad IIs alas just couldn't do it with the Harbs.

eInclusion and Universal Design of ICT
eInclusion and Universal Design of ICT
eInclusion is about including everybody in the information society! It is important for the society that all can contribute and participate with regard to added value, effectiveness, and democracy. The industry aims at increasing their customer base, and for each one of us it is vital to have equal opportunities when in comes to education, work, organizations, and daily life. eInclusion also a requirement for self-help.
Universal design of ICT deals with making IT and telecommunication solutions accessible for as many as possible, and with the highest possible degree of usability and user friendliness.
The eInclusion Group
The objective of our work is to let as many as possible participate in the information society. To accomplish this, we address the topics universal design, accessibility, and usability in each of our projects. We are particularly interested in how solutions work on a variety of devices, in different contexts and situations, and with a wide diversity of users. Often, our target groups contain elderly and individuals with different needs, abilities, and impairments. This includes sensor, motor, and cognition deficiencies, such as reading and writing difficulties.
Our Group cooperates closely with other national and international research groups, such as NR's Smart Information Systems Group regarding for instance the application of multimodality techniques and multimedia content, and with the Security Group with regard to, for example, inclusive identity management.
While one part of our work is funded by the public, such as NRC and EU, we are also engaging in so-called applied small-scale research and innovation projects for the private sector, organizations, and authorities.
Projects and services
The eInclusion Group has a long track record of research and innovation projects, see below. In each of our projects, we focus on accessibility, einclusion, and universal design.
In addition, we offer our services in the areas universal design and usability to the private and public sector. This includes a variety of evaluations, such as technical, expert, and user studies, and development of web solutions and ICT services and products. Please see our overview of services for more details.
Let us send you our newsletter! This little bulletin is sent out 2-4 times a year with the latest news from our research, and announcements for seminar, workshops, and alike.
The eCitizen Panel
Are you interested in participating in interviews and to try out entirely new prototypes for a small financial compensation? Then you should read on and join the eCitizen Panel!
Aspects of research
Among others, our research addresses the following topics:
- Automatic adaptation to a user's needs, abilities, and preferences
- ICT-aided learning and e-learning on demand
- Technical support for individuals with reading and writing difficulties
- Identification of ICT barriers for citizens and users with impairments
- Tools to support the development of universally design solutions, and tools to evaluate the degree of universal design and accessibility

I'm so glad that we have you to tell us the truth. Otherwise we would be lost! Only problem is, it's a scientific fact that about 2% of the population can enter an altered state of consciousness at will. That pokes a little hole in your idea that everyone's brains are the same. And then you have that pesky 10% number of homosexuals in every population. I guess their brains aren't different, though... huh?
Psychics brains work the same as mine and yours.
It is inappropriate to ask for scientific data for a historical fact. Can you scientifically prove that there were several million women burned to death in medieval times for being witches? No. You can't. It's a historical fact, not a scientific one.
Once again a scientific piece of data backing up these claims would be fantastic, but you and i both know, there is none.
Including those who swallow whatever Big Daddy Science tells them, because they are too afraid of the real and infinite uncontrollable possibilities in this world. It's OK, we know that you need to feel that everything is under "control".
Psychics have been proven as frauds many many times. Of course there are the people willing to believe anything

Hi and i'm glad to hear you and your sister were able to have a magical childhood experience similar to mine and as i have said,it would be pointless for me to make it up and lie to myself and everyone here at ATS.Did you two ever try catching any of those fairy bugs in a glass jar and then making holes in the metal cover for them to breathe,like me and my friends use to do with fire flies?

My little sister and I both saw something similar. It wasn't acorns. But it was little pastel colored "fairy bugs" We were both describing them I guess confirming that we were actually seeing what we were seeing and she described details that I was looking at and I described details of them that she confirmed. It was the most magical experience we ever had. They were so cute and calming.
Thank you for sharing this.

Quick Links:
We are announcing the return of the Friday morning gathering at Yankee Candle in South Deerfield, MA on June 22nd for those folks coming from western MA, western CT, and NY. The Yankee Candle caravan has long been a tradition for many MINIs On Top attendees and offers a chance to socialize, shop, and create a large "pod" of MINIs/Minis traveling together to the White Mountains.
Again this year we will leave the Yankee Candle lot at 11:00 am and travel to Bedford, NH to meet-up with the Boston Caravan at the new MINI of Bedford facility.
MINIs/Minis will begin to arrive at Yankee Candle at 9:00 am for a 10:30 am route meeting and then an 11:00 am departure for MINI of Bedford. Travel time to MoB should be a little over two hours. The caravan will not stop en-route, so make sure your MINI's tank is full and that your own tank is not. We should arrive at MoB around 1:00 pm.
UPDATE: The fine folks at The Lyon-Waugh Group will be handing out goodie bags at MINI of Bedford to those who registered. So what are you waiting for, register today!
From Bedford, NH, the combined Yankee Candle and Boston caravans will depart about 2:00 pm with an anticipated arrival at the Attitash Grand Summit Hotel around 4:30 pm. While most of the combined caravan will be taking the direct route to Attitash, you are free to devise your own routes from MoB to Attitash and hoodwink other folks into following you!
NOTE: Traditionally, the combined caravan stopped at a rest area in Canterbury, NH nicknamed Area 51. This year, because of the MINI of Bedford event, we will bypass Area 51.
Registration is closed.
Things to consider:
- No route maps will be provided on the day of. Please review or print the Google Map driving directions from Yankee Candle to MINI of Bedford before meeting us at Yankee Candle.

Sign Up for Our Monthly Hawaii Newsletter
I accept the T&C and Privacy Policy.
When Christine Phillips of Discover Your World Travel in Tumwater, Wash., takes a trip, she likes to push the envelope. That explains why the island of Kauai is one of her favorite getaways for adventure tours.
"Kauai is such an amazing island and, since there is so much that you can't explore on your own, an adventure tour is a perfect way to try something new and reach beyond personal boundaries," Phillips said.
One look at the Kauai Visitors Bureau's (KVB) marketing materials — which show people kayaking, ziplining, riding ATVs and the like — underscores the fact that Kauai stands ready to regale active clients. Its variety of tours encourages timid and courageous visitors alike to go out on the proverbial limb, said KVB's executive director Sue Kanoho.
"Beyond our well-known helicopter and boat tours, Kauai continues to add experiences such as yoga on horseback with Princeville Ranch Adventures and a new zipline tour with Outfitters Kauai," she said. "Depending on someone's comfort level, they can be super adventurous and go ocean kayaking, or they can take it easy by paddling the Wailua River."
Kanoho personally attested to the payback that comes with pushing the envelope. She admitted that she felt nervous before a tour with Kauai ATV, where visitors take four-wheel-drive, all-terrain vehicles to some of the island's prettiest landscapes.
"I had never driven an ATV or motorcycle, and I wasn't sure I could maneuver such a big machine," said Kanoho. "But once I cleared the test run and realized I could keep all the controls working the right way, I had a great time. I was proud of myself that I made it through the whole tour and didn't stall my ATV or get stranded."
A tour highlight: driving through an old sugar cane tunnel she had never heard about before.
For Phillips, a zipline tour epitomizes the benefits of taking that leap of faith.
"Stepping or jumping off the platform feels totally against my nature," Phillips said. "But once I just go for it, it's exhilarating and always seems to be over way too soon. When I'm done, my smile is bigger, and I'm relaxed and re-energized."
Princeville Ranch Adventures guide supervisor Stephanie Zufelt said her team uses patience and humor to help participants on the firm's zipline tours.
"Not only are our guides entertaining, they also create a safe environment to confront your fears and test your nerves," she said.
Challenges from soft to strenuous await clients at Outfitters Kauai, a source for stand-up paddleboarding, downhill biking, kayaking, hiking and ziplining tours; and Kauai Backcountry Adventures, offering ziplining and tubing. But clients wary of a group activity can book the services of Pure Kauai, a firm that personalizes each visitor adventure whether it's a private surf lesson or a customized horseback ride.
"Largely undeveloped and surrounded by ocean, Kauai has a wonderful climate and land diversity providing a backdrop for some of the most scenic and thrilling adventures offered anywhere in the world," said Pure Kauai founder Phil Jones. "Trying new things, overcoming fears and accepting challenges is always good for the soul, not to mention fun."
When it comes to ocean tours, there's nothing quite like summertime kayaking along the Na Pali coast, whose dramatic sea cliffs hug Kauai's north shore. Kayak Kauai cofounder Micco Godinez likes to call it the "Mount Everest of sea kayaking," and his firm's 12-hour tour is comprised of 17 miles of rigorous paddling past fluted ridges, plunging waterfalls, sea arches and hanging valleys, with time out for lunch on a deserted shore.
"With sore muscles, our guests test their mettle along one of the more picturesque and challenging coastlines in the world," said Godinez. "For most people, it is the highlight of their vacation — sometimes it's even life-transforming."
Ideally, agents looking to pre-book adventures for their clients can visit the island and experience some of the tours for themselves, said KVB's Kanoho.
"That way, they know what is a good match for their clients and can make first-hand recommendations," Kanoho said.
But for Pure Kauai's Jones, there's no better place to try new things than the island he calls home.
"I've never met anyone who didn't feel thrilled after they caught their first wave or who wasn't in awe of the expanse of the Na Pali coast," Jones said. "Seeing the earth's beauty and stepping out of your box is what life is all about."

Here it is...
The shoulder strap that I made is sewn on the inside by hand so if she later decides she wants it just on one shoulder I can unpick that and there won't be any marks.
There are lots of bargains to be had on dresses I think if you know someone that can alter them for you.
Things are never exactly the right length, fit or style, but a few changes can make them perfect. I hope that by sharing this some of you are encouraged to try to altering a few of your own clothes. If you never wear them as they are what have you got to lose?
I hope the owner of this garment has a lovely day and gets lots more use out of her pretty dress.
Right I have a little rant now just because it is not the first time it has happened and I want you all to be vigilant! I just popped out to the tesco to get my boys a couple of pizza's and a few bits we needed but not enough to go and do a big shop. I rushed in, saw these pizza's on 2 for £4, got my soya milk, a reduced salad, some wine and a couple of other bits, back in the car and home. I was just putting stuff away and the pizza was already in the oven when I went to throw the receipt in the bin, it said 3 pizza!!! I thought what! I only bought those as they were 2 for £4 and now I've paid for 3. It is not far so I asked the oldest to watch the oven as I was off to get my money back. (he is 16, it's ok)
When I got there I made sure I got the same lady (young woman) she said 'Oh yeah, I charged you too much I'll get someone as I don't know how to pay it back'.
Now it may seem ridiculous going back out for £2.66 but this is not the first time it has happened, and to be honest it makes me wonder how often we are robbed and just don't notice. A lot of what we pay comes straight off our debit cards and we are often in a rush so we don't stand and check before leaving the store.
If you only have a couple of items you would probably see it but if you have a basket or trolley full and there is a big queue behind you and you are on your way home from work, do you stop and check? I bet you don't. So I am asking everyone to check their receipts this week and if it is wrong go back in and get your money!
In a lot of cases like this one it could be human error and of course we all make mistakes but there is also the issue of special deals. Now this has happened to us a couple of times so I am wise to this now, but you see an offer that is two for one, or a wine that is usually £6 but now £3.99 so you get that one instead of what you would normally buy. At the till you have a heap of shopping, the store is busy and the cashier is throwing stuff at you, you get home and see the offer price did not come off and you paid full price. The store is miles away and factoring in time and fuel you decide that it is not worth going back. Thousands of people must be thinking this a day and the big businesses must be making a fortune by accidentally not updating the systems with the offer prices. Now I ask you if they are making so much money this way is it an accident?? For the few people like me that notice (in asda) and then have to go to customer services to get a refund ( which is doubled if you have it on a gift card!) they can afford to do this for all the people who go home and don't bother to make a fuss.
This week everyone make a fuss, it is your money. You wouldn't let someone just dip their hand in your purse so why ignore the supermarkets mistakes. That few pound that you think is not worth the fuss get it back anyway and donate it to a good cause if you think you don't need it. Rant over.
Oh OK here is another rant. Today also saw the return of Network rail to destroy some more nature behind my house, bizarrely just as I am typing the chainsaws are fired up again!!! They have taken down another beautiful tree outside my neighbours house, she was so upset she couldn't watch, it also had beautiful pink roses growing up it.
This one directly behind the garage is now gone completely, you can just see the top of the work man's head in the photo. They are currently at it again chopping down more. I always thought trees acted as a natural buffer against noise from the railway, also they are the lungs of the earth. It is just so sad.
On a calmer not here is one of the books I have been reading this week...
I started it as he was one of the contributors to a book I read last week, the power of silence. It is so interesting and makes so much sense. The author is a Franciscan priest and gives such a wonderful insight into growing older and growing into yourself. It makes you appreciate your experiences more as they really do grow you as a person. It also says the second stage of life cannot be rushed and we all reach it at different ages due to our life experiences. A really inspirational read.

Release of Housefull 2 preponed to IPL time
MUMBAI: Sajid Nadiadwala has preponed the release of his upcoming film, Housefull 2. The film will now be released by Eros International on 5 April instead of 1 June 2012.
The reason of the postponement came in the wake of YRF?s decision to release their Salman Khan-starrer Ek Tha Tiger on 1 June. Nadiadwala didn?t want a clash with the release of a Salman Khan film. So he thought it better to prepone than postpone the release of Housefull 2.
Housefull 2 is a comedy in true Sajid Khan style and stars Akshay Kumar, John Abraham and Riteish Deshmukh along with Asin Thottumkal, Jacqueline Fernandez, Randhir Kapoor, Zarine Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Boman Irani and Chunky Pandey.
Nadiadwala?s move can also be seen as further emboldening of Bollywood?s decision to take the IPL head on. The League goes underway on 4 April. Early last week, Vidhu Vinod Chopra made open his plans to release Ferrari Ki Sawari on 27 April next year.

If you have been waiting for the factory unlocked iPhone 5 to come to the market, your wait seems to be coming to an end soon. This is because a new report on Apple Insider has a screenshot from the official US Apple online store which lists the factory unlocked iPhone 5. Apple Insider reports that over the weekend, when the online publication tried the search string "iPhone 5 factory unlocked" on the US Apple online store, and got the prices for the respective models.
The prices for these factory unlocked iPhone 5 smart phones remain the same as the prices for the factory unlocked iPhone 4S smart phones. You can get the 16 GB model for $649, the 32 GB model for $749, and the 64 GB model for $849. In some countries, the Cupertino tech giant releases the factory unlocked version of the iPhones soon after the release of the wireless carrier locked version of the smart phone. But in the United States, that is not the case. In the United States, there will be a delay of at least 6 weeks between the release of the carrier locked iPhone and the factory unlocked iPhone.
For example, the wireless carrier locked iPhone 4S was launched in early October. The pre orders for the factory unlocked version of the iPhone 4S started in early November. And the shipping of these factory unlocked iPhone 4S smart phones did not start until the third week of November, which is exactly 6 weeks after the launch of the carrier locked iPhone 4S.
Now, we are well into 6 weeks after the release of the wireless carrier locked iPhone 5. So we can expect the Cupertino tech giant to start taking pre orders for the factory unlocked version of the iPhone 5 soon. Will you be buying one?

In conversation about prayer today, Peter Adam commented on Brother Andrew and prayers for a persecuted church:
Please don't pray for us.Please pray with us.If you pray for us, you will pray for the wrong things. You will pray for safety.But if you pray with us, you will ask God to bring millions to faith in Christ.You will pray that when the inevitable backlash comes because of our witness, we will be faithful, even if it costs us our lives.
Can I pray in this way for the persecuted church?
Can I pray this for our missionaries, can I pray this for myself in the evolving context of Australian life and ministry?
May God give me the strength to be real in my discipleship, in my prayer life. Amen.

on the Terrorist Attacks in Paris
Statement by
the Abroad Organization of the Communist
In a series of coordinated attacks across Paris on Friday the 13th, at least 128 innocent people were killed and more than 180 injured. Eyewitnesses reported that the gunmen shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the attacks at the Bataclan concert hall and outside the Stade de France national stadium and claimed to be retaliating against the interventions of the French government in Syria. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for these coordinated acts of terrorism and the French President, Francois Hollande, declared the attacks as an act of war and held the terrorist group accountable.
The emergence of the Islamic State and other terrorist groups is a direct result of the complex conflict in the Middle East and the destructive interventions and policies of regional states and world powers acting in competition and self-interest. These groups are today terrorising, massacring and enslaving local populations and have begun targeted attacks on innocent and civilian populations in Europe.
The antidote to these developments is a strong and united movement against the spread of religious extremism on the one hand and the destructive policies and interventions of regional and international powers on the other. This united movement must bring together the civilian population in the affected countries and from around the world, human rights groups and institutions as well as organisations and political parties. Without a counter-movement, regional states and international super powers will continue to support different terrorist groups to serve their own interests and to improve their own positions in the power struggle for regional influence.
The same united movement against extremism and exploitative policies of involved states and powers can prevent that terrorist attacks on European soil are used as fuel for racist and anti-immigrant parties and groups in the European countries. A united movement across borders will be better positioned to advocate for the rights of people fleeing terror and persecution and seeking safety and protection in Europe. Our goal is to join force with the freedom-loving people and groups of the Middle East, Europe and other parts of the world to ensure that humanity and our collective sense of responsibility prevails over the agendas of extremist organisations, terrorist groups and the self-interests of regional and international powers. Our goal is to ensure that these powers fail in their agenda to dominate our societies through violence, polarisation and political manipulation.
The Abroad Organization of the Communist Party of Iran strongly condemns the criminal attacks in Paris and is steadfast in its goal to promote solidarity across borders and between the affected populations in the Middle East, Europe and across the globe. We call upon all freedom loving forces, human rights institutions, humanitarian organisations, leftist and labour organisations, parties and movements to form a united front against the divisive agendas of extremism and terrorism and the destructive interference of regional and international super powers.

Three-children-too late I have discovered the Mother Gompers system of household administration. It is almost enough to make a person want to start all over again. Almost. But think of the possibilities. There I was, innocently browsing through the autobiography of her husband, Samuel Gompers, to get ready for the hundredth anniversary (Nov. 15) of the labor movement he helped to found. Out leaped this sentence:
''In administering household affairs, my wife and family scrupulously observed trade union principles in all their dealings.''
Is this a family carrying flattery of Daddy's calling a little far? Or is it one of those why-didn't-I-think-of-that reminders of the obvious?
Nobody actually went on strike in our family as the children were growing up. But it might have been a good idea. Any mother could make a case under wage-and-hour laws. And what if the children had insisted on fair pay or even any pay for shoveling snow or mowing the lawn? What if they had been expected to contribute some portion of income for the apprenticeships I gave them in such trades as pounding nails, scrambling eggs, and cluttering the basement?
But I have a feeling these would be superficial questions to Sophia Gompers (''she became Mother Gompers to the whole labor movement,'' writes husband Samuel). When she scrupulously observed trade union principles in household affairs, she probably took the larger view shared by Gompers himself.
To be sure, wages and hours were issues when he became a founder of the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions in 1881 and, a few years later, the first president of its offspring, the American Federation of Labor. But, as he wrote in Seventy Years of Life and Labor, his vision went beyond money and higher standards of living. It went to releasing the ''wonderful'' potentialities of each man and woman. ''My inspiration comes in opening opportunities that all alike may be free to live life to the fullest.''
And by this definition doesn't any family follow the principles attributed to Mother Gompers? The collective bargaining between the generations may look like seeking petty advantages on either side. But its purpose is to make the whole family-enterprise work better for all. The requirement placed on a child ''for your own good'' really is intended in that way. All those fair and equitable concessions extracted from parents are probably for their own good, too.
Today's labor movement may be catching up with Samuel Gompers in looking farther than dollars and cents - for example, it increasingly seeks QWL (quality of work life), with all its emphasis on providing the conditions of harmony, democracy, and mutual respect to release a worker's full capacities.
The household equivalent might be QHL (quality of home life), with a concern for maintaining an environment of family solidarity - through recognizing the rights and responsibilities of every member, through keeping the lines of communication open even when there are work stoppages, withholding of services, or other signs of unrest by one party or another.
As in a courtroom, the adversarial system can help bring out the facts in a labor dispute or a family discussion. But the progress of labor and management in seeing that it's a good idea for cooperation to follow negotiation is something for families to keep in mind, too. Maybe all it takes, I mused as I browsed, is a little of the lovingkindness with which Mother Gompers was remembered by her husband, along with her trade union principles.

thoum — aïoli's lebanese cousin
[this would have come in helpful for fighting vampires last night ....]
many mediterranean cultures have variations of this punchy garlic sauce. different versions include the provençal aïoli, the greek scordalia, and the catalonian allioli. there are also subvariations such as the french aillade.
to make this recipe you must have your mise-en-place ready. it can sometimes be a fussy sauce because of the oil & acid amalgamation. it is not the sort of thing you stop to go and ream your lemon and then measure oil.
in terms of preparation techniques, traditionally the thoum is made in a wooden mortar but it can be made the easier and faster way, in a blender or food processor, with the blender being a better choice. the sauce can be made with just garlic, lemon juice, salt and oil but this is an unstable mixture requiring skill at combining the oil with the garlic — a sometimes difficult procedure, especially for beginners. because of this, people will add a thickener like potato, mayonnaise or soaked bread which has been squeezed dry to bind it. i am showing you the easier way here today and will post the other method some time in the future. i suggest reading the whole recipe first before starting to decide how you want to proceed with it.
updated version *II* .
1 head of garlic, separated & peeled
1/8 c lemon juice [up to 1/4 c]
1/2 - 1 tsp kosher salt, not regular small grained
1/4 - 1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 c mild olive oil
1/4 c vegetable oil
thickening agents:
1 very small floury potato OR
mayonnaise (LOTS) OR
bread soaked & squeezed dry
choose a small floury potato [not waxy, this is important], peel it and either microwave it or cook it in a small pot of boiling water. you may cut it in 4 pieces to cook faster. let it cool and set aside for use later.
separate all the cloves of the garlic, peel and place aside. measure out your salt, lemon juice and oil. put the oil in a pyrex type vessel that you can pour from.
in a blender, add the salt and garlic and process until very well ground. add your lemon juice. start with 1/8 c to begin with [if you would like it more sour, add another tablespoon or two at this point]. i add 1/4 - 1/2 tsp sugar to balance the lemon.
with the motor running on low, start to very slowly add the oil in a steady stream.
after about 1/4 c has been added, turn up the speed and continue adding the rest until all has been added. blend for about 20 seconds at high speed.
at this point, the thoum is ready to use. it will most likely be quite thin, especially if you used the 1/4 c of lemon. that is fine, it is a matter of taste and how you will use this. in its thin form, it can be used to roast vegetables, like potatoes, in the oven. if you want the restaurant type version continue with the next step. note that many of the restaurant versions are basically mayonnaise which heavily flavoured with garlic and some lemon juice. so, if that is what you are after, use mayonnaise to thicken the thoum. mostly likely you will need lots of mayonnaise to thicken this amount of garlic, oil & lemon juice so you may want to make only half as much as a trial.
it can be thickened two or three ways —
add half of the small potato and blend well about 30 seconds. test the viscosity. if you want it thicker, add the rest.
the other options are to use soaked and squeezed bread in small amounts or mayonnaise. the way we get it here where i live, it is more of a mayonnaise-y sauce which i don't not like. you choose how you like it. if adding mayonnaise, i suggest doing it carefully so as to prevent separation. you may want to blend it in with the garlic sauce by hand.
enjoy in modest amounts.

"Good luck" said the sign held aloft by a striking air traffic controller. The implication was clear: safety in the skies was endangered; only "luck" would protect passengers without the regular controllers on duty.
Are those of us who travel by air these days really risking our safety? Or is our safety under the control of a higher power, God Himself?
It is, of course, proper that those whose jobs make them responsible for safety in the skies should take needed precautions. But passengers, indeed all of us, have a role to play, too. Our first step can be to stop making a god out of "luck." Our safety -- in the air, on the ground, on the water -- is assured by divine law. It's the result of God's benevolent, constant care.
The Psalmist asked of the Lord: "Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?" And he acknowledged, "If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me." n1
n1 Psalms 139:7-10
God's control is unfailing, because it's the very reality of being, though unseen to the physical senses. An understanding of this protects both us and others -- as illustrated in the experience of a woman whose work sometimes required long stretches of driving alone.
Before one trip she felt impelled to recognize more fully that she was always safe in God's eternal, unchanging embrace. There was no foreboding in her acknowledgment that the law of God supersedes supposed material laws. She felt only joy in her growing understanding that God governs and that there is no room in the universe of His creating for something to endanger any of His beloved children.
On a 200-mile stretch of road there were only two service stations close together at midpoint. She had passed one of them when it suddenly became obvious her car wasn't functioning properly. The second station was nearby. Luck?
As she pulled into the service station the car's engine began to whine very loudly. Because the attendant was serving another customer, he was unable to help immediately. The driver turned off the engine; in a moment, a glass radiator bottle exploded under the hood. The driver and attendant exchanged grateful looks that he hadn't been leaning over the engine when it happened. Luck again?
Not luck. Law. And soon the woman was safely on her way. She had experienced the protection of God's law of good as proved and taught throughout Biblical history, especially to Christ Jesus. Jesus wasn't lucky; he was lawful. He said he had come to fulfill the law. Living under God's law, he found safety through every untoward circumstance.
Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and founded Christian Science, writes, "The miracle of grace is no miracle to Love. Jesus demonstrated the inability of corporeality, as well as the infinite ability of Spirit, thus helping erring human sense to flee from its own convictions and seek safety in divine Science." n2
n2 Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,m p. 494.
Let's use every flight we take as an opportunity to flee from any human convictions we may harbor about the weather or the plane, about ourselves and others (including the health and ability of mechanics, pilots, and air traffic controllers).
We can instead seek safety in God's law and government of the universe, knowing that He is in control not only where we are but where we're going. Nothing can thwart God's constant care. DAILY BIBLE VERSE Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. Psalms 119:117

Yes, I actually made one whole finished garment! The first one ever since year 9 textiles class. The whole thing looks very retro/60's diner to me. I really hope I will be able to get back onto my sewing machine again when my work load lessens because sewing really gets rather addictive but at the same time it is very time consuming.

More than a dozen people have been killed and several others injured in separate shooting attacks in Mexico's troubled Guerrero State.
According to media reports on Monday, unknown gunmen stormed an illegal cockfight match in the Pacific coast town of Cuajinicuilapa, and opened fire on the crowd there.
At least 12 people were reportedly killed and five others injured in the shooting.
Authorities said two of the dead were minors under the age of 18, including a 12-year-old boy whose father is a local gang leader. However, the motive of the Sunday attack is still not clear.
Some reports said the spectators at the event shot back at the attackers, according to a statement from Mexican prosecutors.
Police sources have a given a different account of the incident. AFP cited local officers as saying that the shootout broke out after an argument between two groups that were watching the event.
Police have launched an investigation into the deadly incident.
Elsewhere in the same state, unidentified gunmen opened fire on an amateur soccer match on the outskirts of the Acapulco city, killing four people.
Guerrero is one of Mexico's violence-hit states, where criminal gangs are active.

What do they eat??
by Jennifer Polack and T.C Pugh© 2012
What do they eat?? What does a lion eat? What does a butterfly start out as? Do sunflowers need water to grow? All these questions will be answered by playing the fun and educational game "What do They Eat?"
What do they eat teaches elementary school students about animal needs, their lifecycles, the difference between producers, herbivores, and carnivores, and the difference between predator and prey. The game consist of the user picking a character to control, the character represents a producer, herbivore, omnivore, or carnivore. The user controls the animal by tilting the itouch left and right while it consumes air, water, plants, and meat, while avoiding predators. After the user collects enough materials and avoids danger they will advance to the next life cycle and learn all the concepts needed for most states standard test for grades 1st thru 5th. The games grades were based off the Virginia SOLs (Standards of Learning).

The Lakers were well represented on Wednesday night as the D-Fenders opened their season with a 112-98 victory over the Idaho Stampede.
Guard Darius Johnson-Odom and center Robert Sacre were recently sent to the Lakers' D-League affiliate to get some valuable floor time.
Johnson-Odom scored a game-high 30 points while making 11 of 15 shots from the field (five of seven from three-point range). He also had six rebounds and four assists.
Sacre collected a double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds.
So far this season Sacre has made only eight regular-season appearances for the Lakers for a total of 19 minutes. He's managed one basket on four attempts and committed eight personal fouls.

War of Dominance Between MSIL and HMIL Stir's Indian Auto Market
Establishment of Maruti Suzuki India Limited was a milestone in Indian automotive industry with MSIL creating new milestones by launching huge fleet of various illustrative cars in Indian car market, setting down new standards for successful launch of new cars in Indian market. This had played an incredible role in strengthening roots of MSIL in market and dominating Indian market for such a long period. Maruti's dominance was challenged by Korean auto giant Hyundai Motors which completely changed the scenario by introducing fuel efficient and superior performance cars that are best matched to Indian conditions and thus becoming the second largest producer of cars in country.
The main reasons behind the huge success of both MSIL and HMIL have been their cars in hatchback segment which have played an incredible role in determining their dominance in India. It would be interested to know that as soon as any new model is launched by MSIL at same time same type of model is launched by HMIL based on same platform. For instance Maruti Alto 800 is strong contender of Eon from Hyundai and various others.
It would be interested to know that although there exists tough competition between both the giants but still Maruti is miles ahead from Hyundai Motors due to various reasons. The most important reason is Maruti's long inning in Indian market, whereas on other side Hyundai had made its debut in India in 1990. Apart from this Maruti holds strong grip on expectations of Indian customers, with this it has huge sales and service network located in almost every corner of country.
Moving ahead no doubt Hyundai has progressed well in India but still its production number lags behind MSIL. Of-course HMIL has succeeded in minimizing the difference between both companies by introducing superior quality vehicles competing to vehicles launched by Maruti. Recently when Maruti introduced improved version of Wagon R as Wagon R Stingray, based on same grounds Hyundai launched Hyundai Grand i10. Hyundai Grand i10 is considered as the mix version of Hyundai i10 and i20. It would be interested to know that both these models have received warm welcome from customers and this again grabbed attention of industry experts who are keeping strict watch on performance of both these models. The war of dominance will get more difficult in coming future with both companies speculating to launch diesel variants of their models soon in Indian market.

First impression: The inviting Cook'in Paris is the kind of restaurant you think you might fall for, but delve a little further and the disappointments start to add up.
Ambience: Stylishly understated with matching tablecloths and napkins, woven placemats and fresh flowers. But the chairs are so hard you'll wish you'd brought a pillow.
Starters: On two visits here, I was offered a lovely amuse-bouche — pork with an onion crown and foie gras with the same crown on another. Avocado and shrimp tartar ($9) served in a timbale isn't raw as the name implies, but a sweet-earthy tug between diced avocado, plump pieces of cooked shrimp and red onions. Classic escargots are awash in garlic, butter and parsley. The $11 portion is served in two ceramic escargot dishes filled with a total of 12 snails. French onion soup ($6) isn't served in the usual cheese-crusted tureen. Instead, this version is mildly flavored, but with plenty of onions, croutons and melting cheese floating on top of the stock.
Entrees: Slices of pork tenderloin ($16) are helped by the flavorful onion confit served alongside. Shrimp in curry sauce ($16) has a bit too much sherry and the accompanying risotto is pleasant enough. Mahi mahi in mango butter ($15) might sound appealing, but just doesn't work. The end result is a meaty but flavorless poached-like filet with a gloppy sauce not even remotely buttery. The most expensive entree at $32 ($6 more if you share), is something called Meat Lovers, featuring different meats with sides based on market availability and the chef's whim. The components — usually beef, lamb, veal and duck — are cleverly and attractively presented on a segregated platter. Our combo included thinly sliced beef tenderloin with a good béarnaise, moist rib lamb chops, breaded veal in mushroom sauce and breast of duck, served rare, with peaches. Vegetable accoutrements included flavorful veggie terrine and a tiny mason jar filled bland broccoli souffle. Or, you can opt for the same combo with four fish preparations for the same $32.

In January 2018, the Corporations of Bracknell & Wokingham College and Activate Learning announced their intention to merge in 2018, creating a new partnership that would transform the post-16 educational landscape in Berkshire.
The planned merged organisation would provide students, staff and businesses with new opportunities and choices, giving them access to high quality growth and development opportunities made possible by being part of a larger group with national influence.
A public consultation was held between 15 March and 27 April to consider the views of all relevant stakeholders including students, staff, businesses, local education providers and the general public.
The overall response was supportive of the proposed merger. Employers and higher education partners who responded were 100% positive about the proposed merger and cited many benefits for learners and the college as well as their appetite to expand their work with the new, larger-scale organisation. Constructive comments were made about the practicalities of implementing the merger and the request to continue focusing on improving quality and delivering a curriculum that responds to local needs.
The full report is published here.
The Corporations of Bracknell & Wokingham College and Activate Learning have considered the responses to the public consultation and have resolved to proceed with the merger which is on track and due to be completed in full by early Autumn 2018.

The past two times I have been to your store, you haven't had cucumbers . Yes, cucumbers. I don't know why you haven't, but I would like you to know that I miss them and hope they come back soon. If not, I might be forced to go to *gasp* Top Foods. Granted they don't let me earn Alaska Miles but I might be forced to in order to get my cucumbers. Either that or plant some in my garden I don't really have.
Why can't you keep in stock cucumbers? I didn't know they were that popular. I guess I learned something new today. I please ask the next time I come into your store you have a couple of cucumbers for me to choose from.
Thank you,
The Cucumber Monster

As we clean out the closets, wipe down the desks, set up the new technology and watch streaming movies... We are distracted by the news of a catastrophic EF-3 Tornado in Rowlett TX.
We had a big tornado back in the '90s that ravaged our local community, so we know exactly how devastating these events are.
As a newly licensed Ham Radio Technician, I spent some time on the radio Sunday evening. I was talking with folks in the Dallas, Garland and Wylie areas of TX. They indicated a much larger area of damage than the nightly news is reporting. As usual, the news is focusing on the most severe areas and ignoring the wide-spread damage.

As I've done before, and as I will do again, I'm asking all of our friends and family to buy these people a beer!
Take the $10 bill you would use to head down to your local pub and have a brew and donate it to the Red Cross!
We are packing up boxes of the stuff we have collected as we pair down after the holiday, and we will be sending it off to help those in need.
I will also be sending a cash donation, as the need seems to revolve around baby cloths in the Rowlett area, and we just don't have those any more.
YOU can DONATE TO THE RED CROSS HERE!
I know that the people who visit BigKahunaBrew.com are good people, and I know you will all do what you can. Even if you can't spare the cost of a beer or cocktail, I know that you will send good wishes, prayers, vibes and any other sort of well wishes to the people who had a really suck Christmas weekend.
Thanks to everyone who tries to help!

Peel Park Primary
The school was keen to have a pond as a resource for their science studies.
At the end of June a group of children visited the BEES Urban Nature Reserve to find out about ponds and try there hand at pond dipping.
Later, in September, a pond was dug on site and filled up with ground water so will not need to be lined.
Children have helped plant bulbs in their school.
There are exciting long term plans for the rest of the school including a large food growing/allotment area and woodland trail.

Help, Please...Rear Wheels won't Move
I have an '86 528e Auto that has been sitting outside for some time. I started it up one day and put it in drive. The car would not move. I thought maybe the brakes were rusted and that's why it wouldn't move. I put my foot in the gas and the rear would squat down, but still wouldn't move. I pulled the rear wheel off on the drivers side and was able to remove the pad from the rotor, but it still wouldn't move. The other rear wheel is hard to get to where the car is parked so I haven't tried to do anything on that one yet. If the passenger rear pad is stuck to the rotor, would that prevent me from turning the other wheel since the pad is free or is there something else I should be looking at that would prevent the rear wheels from moving? And yes, the car was in Neutral. Any advice would be very helpful.
parking brake shoes?
The rear rotors are probably stuck on the parking brake shoes. Remove the caliper and the screw that holds the rotor to the hub, then from the backside twist and release the two clips that hold the shoes down. You should be able to pull the rotor outward and stick something in there to manipulate the parking brake hardware and get it free.

Between November and January, we're running a free "Virtualisation Unplugged" roadshow – 9 events, 7 cities, 420 PowerPoint slides (only joking…I think)
Virtualisation is a buzzword today, because of both the technical flexibility it can give and especially because of the potential energy & cost savings it can deliver. Suddenly virtualisation starts to look even more attractive when you look at the rising costs of energy within a college, and the potential to reduce the number of physical servers in your server rooms.
Although originally focused on consolidating resources in the data centre, virtualisation now has applications across the IT spectrum, driving down costs and improving agility.
Virtualisation Unplugged will replicate the format of the successful Exchange Unplugged tour of last year, so the event will provide a top to bottom view of the Microsoft Virtualisation strategy and give you the information you need to go back to the campus to make this actionable.
The day runs from 9:30 – 4:30, and is hopefully coming to a city near you. The day includes how to virtualise with System Center, Hyper-V, MDOP (to virtualise applications), VDI (to virtualise desktops) and finally Terminal Services 2008. Who could resist booking?
To find out the dates, and register, for events in Edinburgh, Cambridge, London, Leeds, Reading and Barlborough (yes, I had to ask too – turns out to be near the city with the twisty spire – Chesterfield) check out the Virtualisation Unplugged website.

It's Not the Burgers' Fault
I stumbled across a firestorm of a forum thread about a charming little place called The Heart Attack Grill this afternoon. In addition to the burgers of death pictured above, the Phoenix-based restaurant offers beer, cigarettes, and French Fries cooked in lard. Predictably, the forumites in question were incensed about the Grill's unapologetically unhealthy chow; the usual "places like this are why we're getting so obese" line came up, as well as a topic-within-a-topic about the poor dumb souls who eat McDonald's every day.
Except… when it comes to selling unhealthy, body-punishing cuisine, this place is actually on the right track. Think about it: it's called The Heart Attack Grill. Every item on the menu, it jokes(?), will kill you. It uses sarcasm and sexy nurse outfits to sell burgers, yeah, but beneath that layer of sleaze there's a point: this food, eaten in abundance, can be terrible for you. Minimize Me results notwithstanding, that's pretty true. Places like this are not the reason we're obese; people coming to these places multiple times per week are the reason we're obese.
When people start dieting or at the very least paying attention to what they eat, they tend to put food into "good" and "bad" categories. While there are some truly despicable foods out there (transfats, anyone?), for the most part no food is truly bad. You can have that hamburger with bacon occasionally and still live a long, healthy life! The human body is a flexible thing, and as long as you're–and this is key–treating it right the rest of the time, it'll take in that extra burger or pizza with minimal fuss.
What's especially ironic here is, since all of The Grill's frying is done in lard, it's actually healthier than the transfat-laden fried junk at most fast food outlets. And most of those outlets are trying to update their image to appeal to more health-conscious Americans, putting forth the image that eating their food regularly is a good idea. I wonder who's more insidious here: the proud Las Vegases of food joints, or the clean-cut snake-oil salesmen?
Eat what you want to, people, but do so in moderation, and exercise enough to work off whatever indulgences you allow. Sticking to a balanced diet and plenty of physical activity are what keep you healthy–not prohibiting the occasional hamburger.
-Jim will eat these molten cupcakes, for example, and then go running every day to compensate
