I love Fiance and I can't wait to marry him. I am very happy with him but not without an issue here and there. One of our ongoing points of conflict is his lack of planning. I am the uber planner, super organized and always setting things up. Fiance is a go with the flow kinda guy. I've accepted that about him (and I know I probably plan too much and this isn't his issue alone), but this is the most common thing that gets in the way of us (though it doesn't cause conflict that often, honestly). We talk about it and he always says "what does it hurt if I don't plan?" well, funny, today I have the perfect example.
Today was my last day of work for the summer (I work at a school). It is a new job (in fact, my internship year). Since the beginning of the year, I've been telling him that I would love for him to come see my office, bring lunch, and I can show him around. During the year with kids around, that's hard but we have teacher work days at the beginning and end of the year where students aren't around and would be a perfect time for him to visit. This past week, I told him that Monday (today) was our very last day and would be perfect for him to visit. He agreed and seemed into the idea. He works, but has lunch at 11:30 every day and said he would take a long lunch to visit. We didn't discuss it over the weekend and with my bachelorette party this past weekend, I honestly forgot about it. Well, today at work came and went and I left at noon because I was done and was allowed to leave (I told Fiance back when we talked about it last that I would likely get off early and could leave with him). I texted Fiance that I was sad that he didn't come visit today. I got in my car and drove home. He texted a few minutes later saying he was on his way. I wrote him back saying I already left. I was dissappointed, but thought let me be honest and give him another chance instead of stewing inside about it so I said "well, I'm going to lunch at X." No response. I call him and he says he's already back at work.
It's just very frustrating to me that he goes through all of this (with me being impacted by it) without making plans or letting me know what's going on in advance. I feel like I can't be too hard on him because I forgot too. But we kind of agreed to it already previously. I haven't seen him yet today as he isn't home from work yet. Any advice on how to approach him about it? My instinct is to tell him it's OK and get over it so he doesn't feel bad, but I am truly disappointed and I don't know that it's fair to me. This one issue isn't a huge deal, but it signals to me issues that may come in the future. What are some other things that he doesn't plan for and impacts me. What then?

Grey's Makes its Mark in Canada, TooSteve Marsi at . Comments
If a recent column in the Ottawa Citizen is any indication, Grey's Anatomy is winning over audiences north of the border as well as here in the U.S.
Audiences have gotten smarter and forcing networks to pay closer attention to what viewers really want. This past year, what they wanted was Grey's Anatomy.
It's easy to see how much the program has evolved, even since the episodes which aired last week, "If Tomorrow Never Comes" and "Shake Your Groove Thing." In its early stages, Grey's Anatomy was a long-shot, a temporary mid-season replacement for Boston Legal, following the smash hit Desperate Housewives on Sunday nights.
It was the dreaded "serialized drama," a show that demands faithful viewers tuning in every week, lest they be lost in the plot lines.In March of 2005, when it debuted, Grey's Anatomy was a hospital show at a time when hospital shows had become passe. It was a show written by, about, and largely geared toward women, at a time when networks are obsessed with chasing young male audiences. It was to be a fill-in companion for Desperate Housewives. ABC ordered just nine episodes, assuming it would never make the following fall schedule.
The rest is history.
By Spring of 2006, Grey's Anatomy actually surpassed Desperate Housewives in popularity. The same, many argue, can be said for quality. This month, it won the Television Critics Association award for Program of the Year, topping a field that included Lost, The Office, The Sopranos and 24.
This fall, it will settle in its new home on Thursday nights as one of the most hotly anticipated return shows of the fall season. What makes this all so exciting for anyone who cares about network TV is that, just five years ago, the emergence of a Grey's Anatomy on a mainstream, commercial network like ABC or CTV would have been unthinkable.
Viewers also expected to see big names in their TV dramas, the reasoning went, not former stars like Patrick Dempsey or lesser-known actresses such as Ellen Pompeo.
And, if they wanted to see Canada's own Sandra Oh (with Isaiah Washington, left) in anything, they would rent an indie movie or take in a play.
Only someone forgot, thankfully, to tell viewers at home about this thinking. Here's looking forward to Season 3!

…pretty much describes my weeks feeling like I'm actually settling down into this city.
Striving for a career in science has taught me a couple strong things over the years (besides how awesome it is). One of which is realizing you transplant yourself to build/acquire/develop some new skills, and repeat the process until you're apt enough to do it on your own.
As I transitioned from high school into college into graduate school, I noticed another trend: enrichment for the socially inept/naïve increased as I went up the training scale (at least in my own personal experience). I had concerns that this was a logarithmic saturation, where it would only get worse the further you went up in training (despite how rational and socially acclimated most professors seem to be). Thankfully, the social awkwardness seems to have relieved itself among other postdocs (so far). So maybe this is instead the other side of the hump in the curve, whereupon the previously socially awkward in the graduate student community either learn to adapt, or are weeded out of the system.
I have always been fairly introverted. I get by okay in public it would appear, but I like/tend to be reclusive when I am able. Considering the necessity for transplantation for advancement in my career, this is utterly detrimental to maintaining any sort of a social life.
I was okay for the first month with the modified social environment of moving to Toronto. Now, the lack of interaction is hitting home a bit harder. The ironic part is that new social interaction(s) stimulated the feelings of absence; two recent symposia led to pleasant conversations with new individuals that left me longing for this on a regular basis.
Electronic communications and social media don't quite cut it. They're mediocre replacements for face-to-face communications.
Now begins the (emotionally) rough part of the transplantation into a new community.

Milan, Italy
When Sanaa Dafani, a young woman living in the small town of Pordenone, Italy, was murdered this past fall, local media were quick to label the crime a case of "honor killing."
Eighteen-year-old Dafani, who was born in Italy to Moroccan parents, was killed by her conservative Muslim father, who had been angered by her Western lifestyle. In Dafani's case, this meant wearing jeans and dating a man.
Dafani's death shocked the country, and many blamed Muslim traditions for the murder: "Here's another case demonstrating that the Islamic culture cannot be integrated into our society," said Enzo Bortolotti, a representative of the Northern League, an influential right-wing party.
Honor killings, homicides carried out by male family members to redeem the shame that women have supposedly brought upon their families, are often associated with, and blamed on, tribal customs in the Arab and Muslim world. In some particularly conservative Muslim countries, such as Iran and Pakistan, honor killing is still legal according to local tribal authorities, although it is often condemned by the central governments. In other countries, this practice is formally prohibited but is widespread and treated leniently: in Turkey, for instance, there are more than 200 honor killings a year–half of all the murders committed in the country. Many of them are easily disguised as suicides, while others are punished with just two or three years of jail.
But evidence suggests honor killings are still relatively common in the West as well, not only among Muslim immigrants, although such crimes may take a different name.
Honor Killings in Immigrant Communities
A wave of honor killing among Muslim immigrant families has recently been reported in Europe and North America.
In November, 20-year-old Noor Faleh Almaleki was reportedly killed in Arizona by her Iraqi-born father because she was "becoming too Westernized." Last March the case of Guelsuem Semin, a 20-year-old ethnic Kurd murdered by her brother in an apparent case of honor killing, shocked Germany.
Every year about a dozen young women of Middle Eastern and South Asian descent are killed in Britain in honor-related cases, according to British police sources recently quoted by the Guardian newspaper.
Honor Killings vs. Crimes of Passion
Some women's rights advocates have argued that this practice cuts across culture and religions, although it may take different names at different times. They argue that associating it with Muslim immigrants alone is both dangerous and incorrect.

Virgin Mobile, MTV Networks set to blow roof off cellular content
Virgin Mobile, US has unveiled its national, youth-focused cell phone service and its multi-year strategic partnership with MTV Networks, a division of Viacom.
The deal provides for exclusive wireless content and consumer products from MTV and VH1, as well as additional wireless content from Nickelodeon and CMT - a deal certain to blow the roof off current cellular content offerings. Beginning later this summer, every Virgin Mobile USA customer will have access to content from MTV, VH1, CMT and Nickelodeon. Virgin Mobile US CEO Dan Schulman noted that the combined strength of the Virgin and MTV Networks brands would establish a whole new framework for delivering music and entertainment content to cell phones.
Aimed at the under 30 market, MTV Networks and Virgin Mobile plan to start rolling out a wide variety of branded content, including games, graphics, ringtones, text alerts and voicemails beginning later this year. A few future examples include :
* Interactive Voting and Text Messaging - Virgin Mobile customers will be able to use their phones to vote for their favourite videos from music programming like MTV's Total Request Live and send shout-out messages to air on shows like CMT's Most Wanted Live.
* MTV and VH1 Daily Content - Virgin Mobile US customers will have access to the hottest breaking music news, artist updates, music charts and entertainment information straight from the top youth and music networks.
* Games - Nickelodeon will bring characters like Spongebob Squarepants to the world of wireless games, keeping Virgin Mobile customers busy playing away on their handsets. MTV and VH1 will also work together to provide exciting new interactive game experiences for Virgin Mobile customers.
* Ringtones - MTV Networks will launch ringtone services that let Virgin Mobile customers customize their phones with tunes from their favourite artists, as well as theme songs from Nickelodeon's most popular shows.
Later in the year, Virgin Mobile plans to integrate M-commerce capabilities so that its customers will be able to purchase the latest CDs. MTV and VH1 will work with Virgin Mobile to promote customised wireless CD stores featuring top albums from the VH1 Top 20 or cutting-edge MTV Buzzworthy artists. Virgin Mobile will also offer MTV-branded faceplates, phones and other accessories that are popular with the youth and young adults, says an official release.

Metabolic balance has undergone twenty-five years of scientific research that helps people achieve a balanced and healthy body. Metabolic balance is designed uniquely for each individual basing on his family medical history, blood values, personal history, health issues and medical history. Metabolic balance helps in the development of a menu plan and lifestyle map that include correct eating habits and regular exercise, to help the body perform at its peak ideal. Each food in metabolic balance should not contain any preservatives and only undergone limited processing. Metabolic balance involves the help of a metabolic balance coach to help you pass and undergo the four phases of getting rid of harmful eating habits, as well as give you a food list you can eat. Once you're through the metabolic balance diet program, your metabolic balance coach will ask you to cut out different foods, and analyze the effects of your negative habits. Aside from cutting out food to lose weight, metabolic balance helps in the identification of food triggers from true hunger. In metabolic balance, the food you're allowed to eat are fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, lean meats, nuts, legumes, eggs, goat cheese, sheep cheese, yogurt, rye bread and sprouts. Metabolic balance's participants receive an individually designed and prepared personal nutritional plan based on thirty-five laboratory values through a simple blood test. These blood values help in establishing the right parameters for proper hormonal and metabolic function for the body's unique biochemistry. The designed nutritional plan helps in natural night-time lipolysis or fat burning process, balancing your metabolism. Change in metabolism and metabolic balance is eventually achieved through a precise, individualized and balanced nutrition plan. Indeed, metabolic balance is a natural and nutritional weight management program offering fast results and long-term benefits and success. The four simple steps involved in metabolic balance include finding a metabolic coach online, setting of targets and needs, blood analysis, and receiving and implementing nutrition plan. Online diet and nutrition websites offer metabolic coaching services, who can help you identify your needs and set your target goals. There have been significant laboratory results that can scientifically prove the success of metabolic balance diet program, as well as obvious signs of health, aesthetic benefits and vitality. If you're planning to have a metabolic balance diet program, we can definitely help you find the best metabolic coach for you. Your health and success are important to us, and our goal is to help people in achieving their diet goals so they will be happier and healthier.We believe that people are happier and healthier if they are able to meet their goals, such as weight loss goals and fitness and health goals.6 Facts About Health Everyone Thinks Are True

The juxtaposition of pending late-March appearances by Charles Wadsworth and the stimulating program of music presented by the Emory Chamber Music Society of Atlanta in UNC's Hill Hall as part of the Newman series on March 2 made me reflect on the shift in the nature of chamber music series that began in mid-20th century. Before Charles Wadsworth was selected by Gian Carlo Menotti to establish a chamber music series at his Spoleto Festival, such concerts had been, typically, string quartets, with the occasional piano trio or duo. Wadsworth's imaginative expansion to an ensemble that could draw upon instruments beyond strings and piano led to a dramatic broadening of repertory. This continued when William Schuman had him create the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. This model has been successfully taken up by many groups nationally - our local Mallarmé Chamber Players are a good example, as is the visiting group. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Emory Chamber Music Society consists of a core of seven musicians - members of the Atlanta Symphony and Emory University faculty - to which other local musicians are added as needed. It was disappointing that only a small audience was on hand for the splendidly-played program. The only Newman series event well attended this season was the bizarre Ahn Piano Trio concert, which I fled at intermission.
Hill Hall has challenging acoustics, and after decades of trying to find a decent location to hear concerts, I believe I have found the answer - the very back rows. From my aisle seat on the second row from the back, the various ensembles were perfectly balanced. Friends who sat in the front third of the hall reported difficulty hearing the clarinet in the last piece played. Those seated midway also mentioned balance problems.
The Emory Chamber Music Society fielded two equally superb pianists - Keiko Yamashita for music by Beethoven and Schumann and Janice Wong in the concluding Dohnányi Sextet. Both played with the Steinway lid fully up while perfectly balancing their volume with that of their colleagues and, concurrently, phrasing stylishly. These qualities are not commonplace.
Both Mozart and Beethoven were inspired by the Bohemian horn virtuoso, Jan Václav Stich - better known as Giovanni Punto. Punto revealed the possibilities of the horn to Beethoven, and the composer's delight is evident throughout his entertaining Sonata in F, Op. 17. Bruce Andrus fully conveyed the joy of this unabashed showpiece. His control was excellent - the performance was marked by clean, rapid notes, easy projection throughout a wide dynamic range, and fine phrasing. His quietest playing and his execution of trills were memorable.
Balances and musical lines were outstandingly clear in a performance of Robert Schumann's Piano Quartet in E-flat, Op. 47. The interpretation was well within the standard but one seldom encounters such clarity within an ensemble. Since the composer wrote this for Count Marvei Wielhorsky, an accomplished amateur cellist, Daniel Laufer had plenty of opportunities to project his full, warm sound in numerous solos. Paul Murphy's burnished viola sound was welcome in his solo lines and in his splendid blending with violinist Jun-Ching Lin.
Before he fled the Nazis, Ernö von Dohnányi was an important cultural force in Hungary as a composer, conductor and pianist. Often considered post-Brahmsian because of his conservative musical style, he was a master at composing well-balanced, tonal scores, idiomatically written for the instruments. Only someone with supreme skill would have attempted and succeeded in a piece such as his Sextet in C, Op. 37, for clarinet, horn, violin, viola, cello and piano. The sonic "oil-and-water" mix often works because the composer treats the violins and piano or the winds and piano separately while specifying that the dynamics of the winds are to be carefully kept low when blending with the strings as a whole or, more often, in pairings. From the back of the hall, balances were ideal. The first movement was full of memorable instrumental pairings - cello and horn, horn and viola - presenting a complex blend of colors and textures. More than once I sensed that this ought to be a favorite work for violists since that soulful instrument has so many chances to shine. The second movement begins gently with the piano and strings until loud piano notes are joined by assertive ones from the clarinet and horn, eventually settling in with a finely blended section, gently played by the whole ensemble. The last two movements are played without a noticeable break; they begin with pizzicato strings and horn calls leading to some fine cascading notes, played by pianist Wong, and a glowing cello solo, given by Laufer. Notes for a Decca recording of the Sextet allude to a late development of musical humor in the "jazz-like" portion of the last movement, but to this listener the rapid interplay that begins with a duet between violin and viola, taken up by the clarinet and others in turn, had more than a little touch of Viennese dance.

"Please get married and have a baby soon!" my father said to me when I lived in Japan, even though I didn't have such a plan and I didn't have a boyfriend! At that time I felt bad because of him but I'm a very good and serious girl. To prepare for unknown future, I visited the Vancouver Central Library to attend a program for kids without kids.
These programs are offered in many branches and are divided by children's age.
Today I visited "Babytime". It's a program for children 1-2 years old. I enjoyed rhymes, songs, finger puppet plays and stories for babies.
When I was a child, my mum took me to these kinds of programs. I made many friends there and I learned lots from the picture book stories. For example, a picture book taught me to tell the truth – if I told a lie, my tongue would be pulled out by the King of Hell! I'm honest with people because of the Hell King from my childhood!
Growing up, we often forget beautiful experiences of when we were children. But my memories with my childhood friends still remain as my treasures.
The Vancouver Public Library has a unique program for male caregivers called "MAN IN THE MOON". It's a program for male caregivers who are busy or want a closer relationship with their child. The program is for dads, stepdads, foster dads, granddads and all male caregivers and their little ones!
Male caregivers can learn how to communicate and play with their children. It is offered in English, Cantonese and Spanish. Sessions are for newborns to 36 months and admission is free. Also, registration is required for this program. For more information about the programs, you can call 604-331-3657. It is a chance to learn to have a great connection with your children. Otherwise, they'll grow up and move out from your house soon!

Treating Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Tumors
General approach to treatment
Once a gastrointestinal (GI) carcinoid tumor is found and staged, the cancer care team will discuss your treatment options with you. Depending on your situation, you may have different types of doctors on your treatment team. These doctors may include:
- A surgeon: a doctor who treats diseases with surgery.
- A radiation oncologist: a doctor who treats cancer with radiation therapy.
- A medical oncologist: a doctor who treats cancer with medicines such as chemotherapy.
- A gastroenterologist: a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the digestive system.
- An endocrinologist: a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to hormones
Many other specialists may be involved in your care as well, including nurse practitioners, nurses, nutrition specialists, social workers, and other health professionals.
The main types of treatment for GI carcinoid tumors are:
In some cases, doctors may recommend combining more than one of these treatments (see the most common approaches used based on the stage and primary site).
It's important to discuss all of your treatment options, including their goals and possible side effects, with your doctors to help make the decision that best fits your needs. Some of the factors that might influence your treatment options are:
- The tumor size and location
- Whether it has spread to lymph nodes, liver, bones, or other organs
- Whether you have any other serious medical conditions
- Whether the tumor is causing bothersome symptoms
Take your time and think about all of your options when you make this important decision. If time allows, it's often a good idea to get a second opinion. A second opinion may give you more information and help you feel more confident about the treatment plan you choose.
It's also very important to ask questions if you're not sure about something. You can find some good questions to ask in What should you ask your doctor about gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors?
Thinking about taking part in a clinical trial
Clinical trials are carefully controlled research studies that are done to get a closer look at promising new treatments or procedures. Clinical trials are one way to get state-of-the art cancer treatment. In some cases they may be the only way to get access to newer treatments. They are also the best way for doctors to learn better methods to treat cancer. Still, they are not right for everyone.
If you would like to learn more about clinical trials that might be right for you, start by asking your doctor if your clinic or hospital conducts clinical trials. See Clinical Trials to learn more.
Considering complementary and alternative methods
You may hear about alternative or complementary methods that your doctor hasn't mentioned to treat your cancer or relieve symptoms. These methods can include vitamins, herbs, and special diets, or other methods such as acupuncture or massage, to name a few.
Complementary methods refer to treatments that are used along with your regular medical care. Alternative treatments are used instead of a doctor's medical treatment. Although some of these methods might be helpful in relieving symptoms or helping you feel better, many have not been proven to work. Some might even be dangerous.
Be sure to talk to your cancer care team about any method you are thinking about using. They can help you learn what is known (or not known) about the method, which can help you make an informed decision. See the Complementary and Alternative Medicine section to learn more.
Help getting through cancer treatment
Your cancer care team will be your first source of information and support, but there are other resources for help when you need it. Hospital- or clinic-based support services are an important part of your care. These might include nursing or social work services, financial aid, nutritional advice, rehab, or spiritual help.
The American Cancer Society also has programs and services – including rides to treatment, lodging, and more – to help you get through treatment. Call our National Cancer Information Center at 1-800-227-2345 and speak with one of our trained specialists.

La internacional mediàtica puja avui als altars un traïdor al seu país. O és que hi ha un altra qüalificatiu per designar l'actuació d'un càrrec públic que s'ofereix a l'enemic per fer fracassar el seu president? Això és el que va fer Ted Kennedy a l' oferir-se als soviètics per aturar l'escut nuclear de Ronald Reagan. Un projecte, també conegut com a "guerra de les galaxies", que no es va arribar a materialitzar però que va comportar el cop de gràcia al règim comunista soviètic, incapaç de fer front al nou repte nord-americà. L'oferiment de Kennedy s'ha pogut documentar gràcies a l'obertura dels arxius soviètics.
Kennedy believes that, given the current state of affairs, and in the interest of peace, it would be prudent and timely to undertake the following steps to counter the militaristic politics of Reagan and his campaign to psychologically burden the American people. In this regard, he offers the following proposals to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Y.V. Andropov:Via Barcepundit.
1. Kennedy asks Y.V. Andropov to consider inviting the senator to Moscow for a personal meeting in July of this year. The main purpose of the meeting, according to the senator, would be to arm Soviet officials with explanations regarding problems of nuclear disarmament so they may be better prepared and more convincing during appearances in the USA. He would also like to inform you that he has planned a trip through Western Europe, where he anticipates meeting England's Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and French President Mitterand in which he will exchange similar ideas regarding the same issues.
If his proposals would be accepted in principle, Kennedy would send his representative to Moscow to resolve questions regarding organizing such a visit.
Kennedy thinks the benefits of a meeting with Y.V.Andropov will be enhanced if he could also invite one of the well known Republican senators, for example, Mark Hatfield. Such a meeting will have a strong impact on American and political circles in the USA (In March of 1982, Hatfield and Kennedy proposed a project to freeze the nuclear arsenals of the USA and USSR and pblished a book on the theme as well.)
2. Kennedy believes that in order to influence Americans it would be important to organize in August-September of this year, televised interviews with Y.V. Andropov in the USA. A direct appeal by the General Secretary to the American people will, without a doubt, attact a great deal of attention and interest in the country. The senator is convinced this would receive the maximum resonance in so far as television is the most effective method of mass media and information.

And looking at the new Cypress Lake Plaza makes me you more easily imagine how great a new green space the new Champions Plaza will be.
Here are some pics from June 30th, 2018 of the new construction where youth park, and the UL merchandise location used to be.
Hopefully there are plans to bulldoze the old car lot and old mcdonalds/goodwill store.
Plans are to move the UL merch store to the corner of Cajundome Blvd and Johnston st which is basically the corner of Blackham colisium. They already moved the trailer which it looks like they split into 5 sections. Hopefully they won't make that eye sore a permanent location.
Good, wasn't sure what the plans were.. Do they have a permanent location in the works besides inside the football stadium and the bookstore? Thanks.
Merchandise store all gone.....
BTW, does anyone have the scoop on what they are building off St. Mary, behind the parking lot where the old Charity was? Behind the Blind school, and where they used to park the shuttle buses. They have now corralled off a big section of the parking lot near St Mary and moved the shuttle buses there.

If you are just joining us, you might want to start here to learn all about The Clutter-Free Classroom Project to get teachers organized.
We've been printing and glueing some {free} snazzy sorting labels to make decluttering fancy and fun.
And now it's time to collect some small sorting bins.
I know what you're thinking.
"If I already have big bins all the little stuff will fit into it."
I know, but these will be handy.
Trust me.
Small sorting bins are great because you can set them on counters and desktops to make sorting more compact areas like the teacher's desk, drawers, and manipulatives much easier.
My vote goes to clear plastic shoe boxes. I dig them for all the same reasons I dug the large, clear tubs.
Other ideas for small sorting bins include:
- dishpans
- good old cardboard shoeboxes
- small baskets from the Dollar Store
- baby wipe containers
Be sure to follow my blog and store and Facebook Page for notification of the Freebies. Click here to access a collection of Teacher Tips or tour my Classroom Makeover here.

Responses (2)
Coozar (Losartan) usually does not cause Tachycardia (increased Heart rate). Adult heart normally beats 60-100 per minutes in resting stage. Do you have any kind of difficulties like PALPITATIONS, Light headedness, Dizziness, Fainting or Chest pain? If you have any of these, consult your Physician immediately. Meanwhile it is better to have your blood pressure get checked.
Please take second opnion and do EKG Urgently if not done .
Better to rule out any possibility of major heart issues.Take care and
Be happy
Please remember Meditation , Diet , Exercise and Healthy Life style with

The Tour de France showed great promise in its inaugural year, 1903. But things got a little crazy the next year. Competitors hitched rides aboard trains and drafted behind automobiles. "Peasants and villagers" living near the 1,500-mile course, perhaps inconvenienced by the event, showed their displeasure by scattering stones and nails on the road and firing pistols at the riders. There were, however, no reports of blood doping.This brief, by the way, appears to be the only mention of the Tour de France in the Minneapolis Tribune in the race's first 20 years.
PARIS, July 23. – The Tour de France bicycle race, for which there were 53 entries, was continued this week, and gave rise to a series of exciting incidents showing the animosity of the French peasants and villagers to road racing.
Between Lyons and St. Etienne the villagers scattered stones and nails on the road, and when the competitors passed fired pistols and revolvers at them to express their disapproval.
|Far from Paris, bicyclists raced past spectators lining a Lake City, Minn., street in about 1900. (Image courtesy of mnhs.org)

4 sets of flat dumbbell
4 sets of incline dumbbell
3 sets of cable crossovers

wednesday - arms
4-5 sets of dumbbell shoulder press
4 sets of machine lateral flies
3 sets of bent over lateral flies
3-4 sets of dumbbell curls
3-4 sets of concentration curls
thursday - legs
5-7 sets of squats
5-7 sets of leg press machine
(..and on occasions i do)
3 sets with hamstring machine
3 sets with machine where you kick one leg back
i feel like my leg workouts are lacking the most. at the same time, i do spend about 45 minutes in the studio room doing all kinds of conditioning stuff after every workout. i used to hate doing back and it used to be my weakness, now i look forward to back days. i don't do much core also, i feel i get more than enough core workout from the deadlifts.
when i get under 180lbs and closer to my goal weight i'll probably toss everything out except deadlifts and squats. then i'll probably start doing olympic style lifting as well. and of course a bunch of conditioning...
My opinion; Total overkill & would have a rest day, mid-week.
Arm day is shoulders & biceps. There is nothing there that will particularly work your triceps (which take up 2/3rds of your 'bicep' size)
That is overkill on your biceps, they're only a very small muscle group and probably the easiest muscle to overtrain. They're small and you hit them with just about every other lift you do. Believe it or not, many see great gains when not training their biceps or doing very little (maybe 3 sets of say barbell curls per week) Myself included. I used to blast the hell out of them and seen virtually nothing, I focused more on my triceps & made decent progress.
I'd look at a two day split routine.
Day 1. Chest & triceps
Day 2. Back & biceps
Day 3. Day off/rest
Day 4. Shoulders/traps/neck (don't have to train neck but I would if you don't want to look out of proportion)
day 5. Legs
Day 6 & 7. Rest/off
If you want to maximize fat-loss, I really would strongly suggest adding cardio.
Whether you're looking to lose weight or add muscle mass, diet is critical. If your diet isn't upto scratch then you will see very little in terms of gains. Get plenty of rest/sleep, drink plenty of water. If you can stomach it get some cranberry juice down you, its very high in anti-oxidants and great for the kidneys and has numerous health benefits.
You haven't posted your diet, I only scanned & see zero advice. Your body is like a car, without the right fuel, you ain't getting very far.
Its all well and good saying I'm cutting on 1800 cals or bulking on 3,800 cals but what from?
Diet, sleep, gym all three go hand-in-hand. Without one, you aren't going to get great results.
I can not stress enough; diet is key.

The Big Bogan is about to have babies.
Two life-size 'baby' Big Bogans will be installed at the visitor information bays at the eastern and western entries into Nyngan, the centre of the Bogan Shire.
The life-sized statues were approved by the Bogan Shire Council at its December meeting.
Councillor Kevin Ryan, who moved the motion, said that while the initial establishment of the Big Bogan was received with concern, he believed the icon had grown on the community.
When the six metre steel figure arrived in 2015 it received major publicity both locally and internationally. However not everyone was in favour of the landmark with some locals concerned they would be regarded as "a town full of bogans".
"I think they have realised it is not such a terrible thing, and have softened their approach, so I don't think it will be an issue again," Cr Ryan said.
The council's general manager Derek Francis added, "most people have come around to seeing the tongue-in-cheek thing we have in place for the sake of tourism".
The original Big Bogan was proposed to the council by Reverend Graham McLeod of St Mark's Anglican Church hoping to attract tourists to the town.
Since its arrival in 2015 there has been a boom in tourism with an increase in sales in bogan T-Shirts, bogan stubby coolers and even bogan tea towels.
Mr Francis said the primary reason for the new Baby Bogans was to direct tourists to the information bay in town, and to encourage motorists to get off the highway and make use of Nyngan and its facilities.
No additional funding will be required as funds have been made available from the Information Bays Construction Budget for this project to go ahead.
In addition to the installation of the Baby Bogans the right hand wing of the sign structure is to be lengthened and angled towards the road to make the information more immediately visible to passing motorists.
The life-sized Baby Bogans are expected to be completed by March.

Today is my day to participate in the April Showers Blog Hop. Mug Rugs are one of my favorite things to make. There is no limit as to what you can make. I think they are a great way to try a new technique before you commit to a full sized quilt. How many of us started a quilt to find out we didn't like it or got bored? Hence a lovely collection of UFO's!
Thought this lovely guy would be great to wake up to.
|Rise & Shine!
Recently, I met Nina at the San Diego VA Hospital. We had both entered their yearly Veterans Fine Arts, Applied Arts and Crafts Competition. She is quite the artist and not only entered three quilts but also entered other art categories. She placed first in her quilting category and I also placed first in another quilting category. Our quilts are on their way to the next level of competition. If you win at the National Level, the prize is an all expense paid trip to Reno for a week. Once there, you not only attend various art classes, but you also get to go on tours throughout the area. I am so hoping I win! What an opportunity.
Back to Nina. She is in her 80's and what a nice lady. Wish I could remember what branch of service she was in. It was either the Navy or Air Force. (I was in Army) She shared one of her patterns with me and I thought it would be a nice to surprise her and send her the "Thank You" in the form of a mug rug. I don't know about you, but I really appreciate receiving a mug rug or a miniature quilt from a fellow quilter. We all know the time and cost involved in a quilt or hand sewn creation.
|Thank You!

Instead of fighting what could be a long and tiresome legal battle against the Federal Trade Commission, Apple raised the white flag and agreed to refund unauthorized app purchases.
Parents will be happy to hear that Apple has just agreed to refund app store purchases that were made without their consent.
The Federal Trade Commission previously filed a complaint against the company for charging millions of dollars to its customers through so-called "bait apps." These apps were free to download, but incurred in-app purchases.
Experts have a name for the elusive strategy: freemium. The free-meets-premium model, according to app analytics company Flurry, is now generating more money than paid apps.
Furthermore, Apple also complied to an FTC mandate requiring the company to change its billing practices and ensure that customers are clearly informed before being charged for their purchases. Apple will pay a minimum of $32.5 million to settle the case and has a March 31 deadline.
FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez said that companies cannot charge consumers for purchases they did not authorize.
"This settlement is a victory for consumers harmed by Apple's unfair billing, and a signal to the business community: whether you're doing business in the mobile arena or the mall down the street, fundamental consumer protections apply," she added.
Last year, Apple settled a class-action lawsuit for unauthorized app purchases. The company offered a $5 iTunes credit/ cash for unauthorized purchases more than $30.
In a letter sent to Apple employees today on Wednesday, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that it is a double jeopardy, adding that it didn't feel right for the FTC to sue over a case that had already been settled.
"However, the consent decree the FTC proposed does not require us to do anything we weren't already going to do, so we decided to accept it rather than take on a long and distracting legal fight," he added.
Apple has received 37,000 claims from parents all in all. "We will be reimbursing each one as promised," Apple said.

Subject: One day classes
Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2007 02:49:05 +0000
I am a FC at Unity #48 in Geneva, IL, surfing the net to avoid
studying my catechism...
I was made an EA on August 24, 2006, and passed to the degree of
Fellowcraft on August 1, 2007. I probably actually exemplify the
"too-busy" and "stretched" demographic to which the "one-day classes"
are aimed. After about 6 months, I was actually approached by a couple
of officers about attending such a class. I refused this offer, saying
that I understood that these rituals, through the process of experience,
would help make me a better person for going through them. Since I
always see room for self-improvement, why would I want to skip that?
Fortunately, our lodge normally meets on the first degree (some sort
of dispensation, which I do not know the details of...), so I've been a
very regular attender, even if a slow learner!
Others in my lodge have attended such classes, and they seem happy
with them. My (admittedly poorly informed) view is that the worth of
such a one-day class is based on what the candidate wants from
freemasonry: I am very interested in the ritual and moral lessons of
freemasonry, so I think I would have been unhappy with the one-day
class. Others seem more interested in getting involved and the social
aspects of freemasonry, and they might be happier with the one-day
It might seem that my email is an attempt to say yes to both side of
this debate, but it is not meant to. It is actually an attempt to
address the question of the method of measure. I wrote because I wanted
to give my answer to why I chose the path I did -- that is, I
articulated why I am more interested in the traditional method, and that
was due to a belief in the power of a ritual to make a difference. That
belief makes me something of an anachronism in this day and age, so I
don't think I can safely apply that to all masons. When the set of
officers in my lodge told me about the one-day class, they mentioned
that they had found that masons who went through that class were just as
likely to remain members and be active in masonry as masons who had
followed the traditional method. That was their method of measure. I
think it would help clarify the question and make clearer what we mean
by "better" if we answered the question, "What are the methods of
measure by which we determing the worth of one-day classes vs. the
traditional method?"
Thank you for your time and consideration!

As a parent, the first day of school can be a bittersweet cocktail of emotions. On one hand… "FINALLY!!! THEY'RE OUT OF MY HAIR FOR A FEW HOURS!" And on the other… "My babies are growing up so fast, they aren't going to need me as much anymore" :( We get it. But the easiest way to make this transition smooth and as painless as possible is to find a routine and stick to it!
All summer long, your kids have been able to sleep in, have fun, and BE KIDS! But when school starts, the earlier bedtimes, earlier mornings, and constant rushing around to get everything done before that bus leaves, with or without you, can cause total mayhem! Not to mention the hassle it is to get your kids to share how their day was when they come home. Is it too much to ask for a little conversation!?
We've compiled a list of "Top 5" suggestions from some of out favorite mommy bloggers, and Dr. D'Alesio herself, on how to help make your school week more enjoyable!
- Prep the night before! Sunday nights can be lazy, so you can use that extra time to pack lunches, pick out outfits, or prep breakfasts in between finishing that last bit of homework that's due Monday morning!
- Have a morning and afternoon checklist that is easy for your kids to follow on their own. By keeping a routine, you can be better organized and more efficient to make your mornings that much easier. Example: Morning
- Bathroom: brush teeth and hair! 7:00
- Get dressed!
- Breakfast at 7:30 sharp!
- Backpack packed? Homework? Projects? Lunch?
- Catch that bus! 8:15
- As well as a daily checklist, have a weekly calendar that spells out the various projects, due dates, field trips, meetings, and practices that are coming up. By being able to visualize what your week looks like, you can better manage your time and keep track of everyone's schedules!
- Parents! Use your newly kid free day to organize yourself! Tackle some of those projects you've been meaning to get to, but never really had the time. OR RELAX! That's right. We said it. It won't hurt you to take "me time" for a change! It might do you some good!
- If you struggle with getting your kids to share their day with you, try the "Rose and Thorn" method like Dr. D'Alesio, inventor of Lily Method Pacifier Weaning System, does with her four girls! You ask your child the best part of their day (rose) and the worst part (thorn) to start the conversation.
Whether you're walking your youngest to their first day of preK or watching your oldest drive away to start their senior year of high school, knowing they're growing up can definitely put a lump in your throat, but that's the result of being the amazing parent you are.

As You Like It
Chapter 2: Full House (Song of inspiration: Eyes on Me)
"So you've been all alone in your boat?" Sayaka commented, bringing in a tray of tea things from the kitchen to the living room. She set them down on the table and sat on the floor. Shinta nodded and grinned a bit. "The whole team's been pretty busy, so I was left to take care of the yacht."
"Oh... you must've been pretty lonely."
Shinta's eyes widened slightly at the comment. "I wouldn't put it that way, I'm just not used to being without company." he said as he helped Sayaka with the teacups. Hajime held back a laugh at what he just heard. After hearing the brunette so distressed over the phone, he wasn't convinced that the younger man wasn't affected of the sudden disappearance of all of the members in his team. He definitely felt lonely.
Shinta noticed the small offending smile that formed in Hajime's face and pouted. "What?" he asked the taller man who sat beside him on the floor. From the looks of the smug expression on the other's face, it was given that his rival was laughing at him. Hajime waved a hand in front of his face dismissing the thought and shook his head.
"Nothing." he replied, reaching out for the rice crackers from the plate on the table. "Don't mind me." Shinta frowned and muttered something that sounded like "phone falling" as soon as he turned his head away from the guy sitting next to him. Hajime choked on his rice cracker... this time, it was his turn to frown. 'iHe really had to remind me about the phone...'/i
Sayaka looked at the two men who were having a silent fight in front of her and giggled. "Come on, let's just enjoy the snacks and chat along." she chirped, "we don't really get that many visitors often here in the HQ."
Shinta grinned shyly at the girl; Sayaka was such a kind person to him. Unlike the other members of the Ouendan Squad, she didn't really care about "The Great Clash" between the two groups. Though speaking about the others... where are they?
"Amemiya-senpai, where are the others?"
Sayaka looked up at Shinta and smiled. "Hmm... well, Anna and Aoi went out grocery shopping. It's their turn for the month, so I kind of kicked them out of the house."
"Oh, I see. But... what about Ippongi-senpai and Kai-buchou?"
Hajime closed his eyes as he heard the names of his seniors. "Those two were drinking like idiots last night so now they have to suffer the consequences." he said as he took a sip from his cup of tea. "I can't blame them though, they needed the distraction."
Distraction? What in the world do they need it for anyway?
Shinta felt the urge to ask but he left his question hanging in his mind. It wasn't his place to dip in on their personal matters after all.
"I heard hangovers are pretty bad." he commented. "That's why I avoid going out with the others when they go out to the pubs."
"You don't drink, Shinta-kun?" Sayaka rested her head on her hands as she placed an interested gaze at the brunette. "Come to think of it, you really don't seem like the type that does."
A blush krept on Shinta's cheeks. "Yeah, I actually can't hold any kind of liquor..." he replied, laughing nervously. Sayaka giggled a little bit. "Then Haji-chan and Shinta-kun are opposites," the Cheergirl nodded her head towards her teammate. "Hajime here can drink pretty well! He drains every bottle down to the last drop."
"Hey, don't make it sound like I'm a drunkard." the said man snapped at the girl in front of him and turned his head to Shinta. "I drink but I don't chug it down like she says."
Shinta went silent.
"... You don't believe her, do you?"
A few more moments of silence and the brunette decided to avoid answering the question. Sayaka started to laugh heartily while Hajime eyed the man beside him, a look of disbelief in his dark gray orbs. "Thanks a lot, Kikuchi."
As they were having fun they suddenly heard the front door push open. "We're home! Anyone here?" A voice that sounded like Aoi exclaimed from outside the house. Anna emerged from behind the door carrying a few plastic bags that looked like it weighed a ton. "If someone in there cares, could'ya help me out?" the blonde managed to say in between huffs of breath. Shinta quickly stood up from the floor and ran towards the entrance. "Thanks for the hard work Anna-san, leave them to me." With an 'oof' Anna let go of the troublesome bags.
"Ow, my back..." she muttered, clutching her sides. She looked up at the person who went to help her, trying to remember the unfamiliar face. "Oh hey, aren't you one of those blue dudes from the other side of the city?" Shinta nodded at her and smiled despite the slightly rude comment. "I came to visit."
The blonde stared at him for a while before smiling back. "You seem like a good kid... I wouldn't mind you staying here."
She strut towards the living room and waved a hand in the air. "Thanks for the help, boy. Just leave 'em in the kitchen for me."
"Anna!" Aoi called out. She shook her head and frowned. "Don't mind her. She's just pretty tactless by nature." Shinta shrugged lightly and payed it no mind. "It's alright." He looked down on the plastic bags on the floor and proceeded to lift them up with his hands.
Or at least he tried to.
With a little more effort, he tried once again. i'What in the world is making these so heavy..? And how did Anna carry them all the way here?!' /iThe brunette resorted into dragging them to kitchen, struggling with the weight he was carrying along with him.
"Hey... do you need help with that?" Hajime offered as he watched the boy desperately trying to finish his task.
Shinta wanted to say yes... he really wanted to. But there was one problem; Hajime was his rival! Even after saving the sun together with the other man, he still thought of him that way. i'But he's just being nice...' /ihe thought, Hajime isn't going to laugh at him at all.
'iWhat the hell am I saying?' /iShinta mentally slapped himself. 'Don't give in, don't give in!'
"Haha, I'm doing perfectly well. I can manage this on my own!" with a flashing smile, he once again made an attempt to lift the mysteriously heavy grocery bags. "Seriously Shinta-kun, don't strain yourself!" Sayaka snapped at him. She turned her head to Hajime and gave him a desperate stare. "Go help him, please."
Hajime stood up from the floor and rushed to where his rival stood immobilized. He placed a hand on top of the Shinta's own, coaxing him to let go of his grip. "Come on idiot, give it up and let me help you."
"But I-" Shinta looked up at Hajime to protest, only to notice how close their faces were. (Blame the height differences for that.)
The two locked eyes at the sudden contact, staring at their reflections in the eyes of the other. Shinta leaned in closer and continued gazing at the pair of shiny gray orbs in front of him. i'I've never seen such a shade of gray... they don't look as dull as it should be at all...'/i
Funny how he could still see them perfectly even with Hajime's glasses in the way.
The staring continued for what seemed like ages when suddenly a hand blocked their view, breaking their moment of endearment. "How long are you guys going to stare at each other?!" An angry Aoi huffed. "Get a move on will you?"
Hajime shook his head in confusion. i'What was that just now?' /ihe thought to himself. He swore he had just locked eyes with the other man longer than he could've liked. Though he couldn't deny it; the brown eyes of the other man were very beautiful...
But that was beside the point!
"Y-Yeah, the bags! Let's take them to the kitchen!" Shinta exclaimed, trying to keep himself from blushing at the unusual moment they shared. "Here, carry these with you Tanaka-san." He quickly let go of a couple of plastic bags from one hand and with a speed (and strength) he never knew he possessed, the brunette ran away from the living room out of embarassment.
"Hey, where are you going? The kitchen's to the left!" Hajime called out to his rival as he ran to the same direction Shinta had gone to in a hurry.
Once they were gone, Sayaka glanced at the pink-haired Cheergirl standing in the middle of the living room for a few seconds before she playfully twisted a lock of brown hair in her fingers. "... Are you jealous of them?"
"There's no reason to feel that way, is there?" Aoi replied.
"I should be asking you that question."
Aoi's hands formed into small fists at the sudden remark from her comrade; Sayaka did have a point. She hated it when the truth was actually shoved right in front of her face... it hurt to know of something you didn't want to think about.
"Tch!" She shut her eyes closed and stormed out of the room, her long pink hair flying freely behind her.
Sayaka let out a sigh and looked up at the ceiling.
"I wonder how this love triangle would end up?"
And as if she hadn't said anything, she turned the television on, switched to her favorite channel and watched what was being shown on its screen contently.
A/N: And that's the end of chapter 2~
I'm so sorry about the crappy ending, I didn't know what to do. I promise I'll do better with the next one. :o

Is this worth getting? I was having trouble deciding between this and Blops3. I went with blops 3 and have prestiged and am already halfway to prestiging a second time. I am starting to get bored with it like I usually do around the second prestige. I did not purchase the season pass as there was always consideration of me purchasing battlefront.
For those who played both blops3 and SWBF, what are your opinions. Which has more longevity? I am a Star Wars nerd at heart and the graphics are AMAZING. I just wonder how much EA will milk us in the long run.
Inform me Gunslingers!
