PORTLAND—The Megan Fortier Show made another appearance and it proved to be a Saturday Night Special for the Falmouth girls' hockey team.
The Yachtsmen, the top ranked team in the West Region, "hosted" No. 4 Portland on the Bulldogs' home ice in the semifinal round Saturday evening at Portland Ice Arena and rode the nonpareil talents of senior standout Fortier to live to play another day.
While Portland kept the game close and played hard throughout, it ultimately had no answer for Fortier, who scored four times and assisted on another goal in leading Falmouth to its 18th win in 19 outings, 6-3, ending the Bulldogs' best season to date at 10-10.
The Yachtsmen advanced to meet York in Wednesday's regional final.
"We don't feel pressure, it's playoffs," Fortier said. "Everyone's even. We're 1-0, basically. We hope to be 3-0."
Falmouth, which missed the playoffs last year with an 8-10 record, has dominated from the onset this winter, thanks in large part to the return of Fortier, who was at North Yarmouth Academy last school year. The Yachtsmen won their first 16 contests before being upset at home by Brunswick. Falmouth bounced back in the regular season finale to beat Greely, 4-1, earn the best record in the state and the top seed in the West Region, then sat idle for 11 days.
Portland has been one of the sport's top feel-good stories this winter. The Bulldogs won only 12 games total from 2008-09 through 2010-11, but went 9-9 this season and earned the fourth seed in the West. Wednesday, Portland played in and won its first ever postseason game, eliminating No. 5 Cheverus, 6-2.
The teams met twice in the regular season with the Yachtsmen prevailing each time, 8-4 at Portland Jan. 7 and 9-1 in Falmouth nine days later.
After the Bulldogs gained tons of confidence in the interim, it wasn't surprising they played the Yachtsmen much tougher Saturday night, but in the end, Portland simply couldn't stop Fortier.
It took half of the first period for Falmouth to get going, but with 7:16 remaining, Fortier struck for the first time, a wrister from the left circle that eluded Bulldogs junior goalie Leanne Reichert.
Less than two minutes later, Portland drew even thanks to a superb individual effort from junior Drew Barry.
Barry started the play by eluding three defenders and skating in from the right. Her initial shot was saved by Yachtsmen sophomore goalie Kirsten Mazur, but the rebound kicked out to Mazur's right and Barry skated around the cage and while falling to the ice, fired the rebound into the net to make it 1-1.
With 3:30 to go in the first, the Bulldogs almost went ahead, but senior standout Raechel Allen's shot was saved, barely, by Mazur's pad.
With 2:45 showing, Fortier struck again, this time scoring on a breakaway and at the first intermission, Falmouth held a tenuous 2-1 lead.
A mere 18 seconds into the second period, Portland senior Kylie Dalbec (a transfer from North Yarmouth Academy, who's infused this team with skill and leadership) passed to wide open junior Gabi Cardona (who's also new to the team this year, from Cheverus) in front, but Cardona's shot was saved by Mazur. Enter Allen (who scored over 100 goals during her time with the Bulldogs), who was in the optimal spot to send the rebound into the cage, making the score 2-2.
Portland didn't have much time to celebrate as Fortier struck again with exactly 14 minutes to go in the second, this time eluding a defender before skating in one-and-one with Reichert and tickling the twine.
"I don't even remember half the goals," said Fortier. "I think it was a combination of everyone on our team being in the right place. That made it a lot easier. It's definitely a good feeling going around defenders."
"We had a plan that the girls tried their hardest to execute, but (Fortier's) a great player," lamented Bulldogs coach Courtney Rideout. "She can skate, she can move, she can dangle the puck through people's legs. We forced her to the outside and made her work. None of the goals were easy."
While the Bulldogs twice managed to rally and tie, they couldn't do so a third time. With 11:56 left, a second after a penalty to Allen expired, Fortier drew the defense before passing to a wide open junior Jayde Bazinet for an easy shot and goal which Reichert never saw.
"For us to jump right back after they scored was huge," said Falmouth coach Rob Carrier. "(Megan's) the focal point of this team. You look at our goals and I'm sure she's gotten a huge percentage of them. It's nice to have a player who's able to control a game like that. She demands so much attention. On our power play goal, all four of their players rotated to her and she found the open player. She commands so much respect from other teams that it's hard not to get caught up watching her play."
With 7:46 to play and Portland freshman Georgia Drew in the box, Fortier struck on the power play with a low shot past Reichert's glove and Falmouth had a 5-2 advantage heading for the final period.
"Megan's amazing," Mazur said. "She's a great person and an amazing hockey player. I'm happy to have her on my team."
The Bulldogs wouldn't quit.
With 11:50 to go, on a two-man power play, Dalbec fired a shot on goal that Mazur denied, but Cardona was there for the rebound and Portland had life, down 5-3.
Still on the power play a minute later, Barry looked to cut the deficit to one, but Mazur made a pad save. With 8:09 remaining, Dalbec split two defenders, but couldn't get much on her shot and Mazur again stood tall.
"I felt pressure, but I have a lot of trust in my team," Mazur said. "They're practically my family. We were expecting (the Bulldogs) to give their all. It's hard to stop their shots. It's scary sometimes with me being small. A few times they do hit my face and it hurts. I stick it out. I'm tiny, but I have to make them fear me."
"Kirsten is only a sophomore and didn't get a whole lot of playing time last year," Carrier said. "She took a year to observe and has filled in beautifully. There's no dropoff from last year."
Then, with 5:56 left in regulation, the Yachtsmen delivered the coup de grace when senior defensive standout Moie Aaskov scored.
After Mazur saved one final Dalbec rush, Falmouth ran out the clock and celebrated its 6-3 win.
"I think everyone put in a great effort, especially Kirsten," said Fortier. "I think we really clicked after the first period. We knew we could do better. It's not what we were capable of. We hadn't had a lot of ice time the past two weeks. Once they tied it up in the second, we knew we had to take charge. I thought it would be a lot tougher because it's playoffs and everyone's playing for their lives. It's much more intense."
"We saw them play against Cheverus the other night and they looked like a completely different team from a few weeks earlier when we played them," Carrier said. "They're a talented team with three very good players. They figured it out and gave us a good battle tonight. Their passing was much crisper. Their goalie made tougher saves. We hadn't played a meaningful game in nearly two weeks. We knew we'd be a little rusty."
While Portland fell short, it made history this winter.
"We turned our season around in the last few weeks," said Rideout. "That really worked to our advantage. The girls played hard and with a lot of heart. They wanted it. The puck just bounced the wrong way a couple times. We wound up with a couple goal deficit and it was hard to get back. We had momentum at 2-2, but they captured it right back. It was a game of momentum. If we had gotten the first goal, it would have set the momentum for the game, but it didn't happen. We had seven penalties. When you have seven penalties with the kids you need on the ice, it's tough. What I'm most of proud of is that we fought to the end and showed we have a lot of class. I couldn't have asked for them to play any differently.
"We've had some lean years. This was a great season. I don't know how else to describe it other than it was fun. They're a great group of kids. I think the girls are happy with the season."
The Bulldogs graduate six seniors, most notably Allen and Dalbec, but it appears the program has turned the corner and should be competitive again in 2012-13.
"We'll certainly miss our seniors," Rideout said. "We have big shoes to fill. We lose some, but we keep some and hopefully we'll pick up some freshmen. We have to keep it up."
As for Falmouth, it faces second-ranked York (13-3-3 after Saturday's 2-1 win over Scarborough in the other semifinal) Wednesday, back at Portland Ice Arena for the West Region title.
The Yachtsmen got to the regional final game two years ago, but lost to Cheverus. This time, as the favorite, they hope to finish the job against a team they edged, 2-1, at home, Jan. 14. York will have standout Nicci Heroux on the ice. She didn't play in the first meeting because of a concussion.
"It won't be easy," Mazur said. "It's scary, especially since I've played with some of their players and they might know how I play."
"York will be a tough game," said Fortier. "We'll work really hard Monday and Tuesday and hope for the best."
"This is my third year and we've played three one-goal games against them," Carrier added. "I'd be surprised if this game doesn't go into overtime. It won't be easy. So far, we stood tall in test number one. We'll go up against a great York team next. I'm looking forward to it."
Portland senior Lindsey Sneider goes all out to try to slow Falmouth senior Megan Fortier. Fortier had her way all night, scoring four goals and assisting on another.

Pp. 85-108.Northern Mali (Mali is in western Africa) consists of three regions. Pressures on natural resources and demands for autonomy in northern Mali led to a rebellion and civil war in the early 1990s. While this abated after a time due to a negotiated settlement, the peace agreement disintegrated and civil war resumed, ending only in 1995 with a new peace pact among the groups in conflict. In the area west of Tombouctou, one of the regions in the north and the region most affected by the conflict, the end of war and the beginning of a new civil order were assisted by the Programme Mali-Nord. This is a Malian-German bilateral program created in 1993 to help the people in the region develop this new civil order, as well as new economic foundations. Henner Papiendieck and Barbara Rocksloh-Papendieck have managed this program since its beginning. In this chapter they discuss the program, their experiences and lessons learned from it, and results of the program for the Malian people. Specifically, they describe the beginnings of the program, efforts to promote reconciliation among differing peoples, and the economics of peace in northern Mali.

As part of the last monthly WordPress Belfast Meetup I gave a talk on getting started with the WordPress Command Line Interface more commonly known as WP-CLI. Having seen the interface mentioned in a Wordcamp Dublin event as a means of manipulating WordPress I was curious to see exactly what could be achieved. The project is maintained at wp-cli.org and it is here you will find the steps to get the plugin installed on your wordpress instance.
The four steps required are shown on the WP-CLI site but for clarity I will go through what they are doing
Download the PHP archive .phar file (Assumes you have the curl executable installed on your linux platform)
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
Run the Phar file to confirm it downloaded correctly
php wp-cli.phar –info
Change the permissions on the archive to make executable and mv it to a folder on the path
chmod +x wp-cli.phar
sudo mv wp-cli.phar /usr/local/bin/wp
Test the new executable
wp –info
which should give something like
PHP binary: /usr/bin/php5
PHP version: 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.14
php.ini used: /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
WP-CLI root dir: /home/wp-cli/.wp-cli
WP-CLI packages dir: /home/wp-cli/.wp-cli/packages/
WP-CLI global config: /home/wp-cli/.wp-cli/config.yml
WP-CLI project config:
WP-CLI version: 1.4.1
Once you have output from the last command you are ready to start
The extensive list of commands available – which you can extend is found here but why not start with
wp post list
So this plugin gives a lot of options for interacting with your wordpress installation – why not give it a whirl.

MC Hammer anyone? Those pants are ridic. Her hair looks stupid as hell. However, she does look better then in recent paparazzi shots. Now that we know she can fix herself up, there is no excuse for her not doing it daily.. I mean how fucking hard is it for her (or she can pay someone to do it, lets remember bitch is a multimillionaire) to slap on some foundation, comb her hair, and put on a nice outfit. Like what the fucking fuck.
Lets not even get started on Madonnas hideous outfit/body/face/everything. Hate her.

I WOULD like to thank the teachers, principals and administrators of the Osceola County schools who guided me through my academic years at Thacker Avenue Elementary School, Beaumont Middle School and Osceola High School.
I now realize that their constant encouragement and influence helped me strive to achieve the best I could, academically and otherwise. I graduated from Troy State University recently and look forward to going into the working world but will always remember the start I had in the Osceola County schools.

've been typing 'czmax' for so long now that it stands on its own.
Originally it was short for "CraZyMaX", chosen because I'm not angry enough to be 'mad', and some geek had already taken 'madmax' anyway. Oh, and of course "king of the wild things" was too long for an account name.
More and more lately I've been happy with '"pritikin" for an email addr, although I really wish I'd snagged the 'pritikin.com' or 'pritikin.net' domain name before those diet interlopers. I'm still searching for the right domain name (I know, _way_ too late for that).

So far in this minimalist journey I've had little difficulty in finding items to relegate to the donation bin, and day 6 was no challenge. As per the rules I had to rid myself of six items, thus I give you a sextet of scarves.
I went through a brief scarf wearing period, which was quickly abandoned when I went through my more devastating hot flash period. Ten minutes with a scarf draped around my neck sends my internal temperatures skyrocketing, so the scarves were relegated to a bin in my closet where they've languished for at least four years.
There are still more scarves in the bin; those pictured above were just the easiest to part with since the others were gifts from special people in my life and one belonged to my mom. That one might be exempt. Maybe day six wasn't as easy I first thought.
Peace, people.

On November 21, 2007, I posted a new ad in the Gestational Surrogacy classifieds at SMO.
On December 2, I received a reply from a European potential intended mother (IM) named Mia explaining that in the last ten years, she and her husband Urs had only achieved four pregnancies, all of them lost to miscarriage, to include a devastating loss at 22 weeks. The culprit - an immunological incompatibility which causes her body to attack the placenta. Her tone was warm, kind, and enthusiastic. The email was short, but I was already getting the feeling that things would be moving in a positive direction. In one of the next few emails, Mia said this:
I hope that our surrogate will become a close friend of us and that we have a lot of contact, during the surrogacy- journey and later on. I think it is very important for the child to meet its bellymommy (I don't know if this is the right expression in English). I would tell the child very much about the surrogate mother (of course, because she is a member of our family) and I very much hope that there will be a close relationship between surrogate mother and the child. It is also her child- without her loving gift the child wouldn't exist. This kind of thankfulness I want to mediate to our child.
It is difficult to exactly define, but to me, my relationship with my surroson Sam and any future surrobabies feels more like that of "aunt" (for lack of a better existing word) than "mother." Many intended mothers (IMs) quite understandably are uncomfortable with a surrogate feeling as if the child they carry is also theirs. This idea of Mia's and Urs' child borne through me also being my own reaches far beyond my personal viewpoint on the relationship between me and my surrogate children. But the fact that they have this concept as a part of their expectations is tenderly endearing and comforting as a surrogate. Many of us fear being cut off completely after the delivery. "Thanks for the baby, it was good while it lasted. Sayonara, sweetheart, you're not needed anymore." I have unfortunately seen it happen many times over the years, and a primary cause of this is intimidation of the surrogate's continued relationship with the child or children. The fact that Mia and Urs not only expected, but encouraged a close relationship between surrogate and child spoke volumes. I was smitten.Click here to continue reading...

Jia Ali is not a new name in the world of fashion, TV and Fashion industry. She is one of those artists who has introduced new trends in Pakistani Fashion Modeling industry. She started her career in 1991 at age of just 19 years as female model. In those times Pakistani Fashion Industry was not so build up compare to these days and it is Jia Ali and other famous models that have lot of share in success of fashion industry. Pakistani Fashion industry has not only introduced lot of new faces but also has a great contribution for showing bright side of Pakistan.
Jia Ali received lot of offers right after working in modeling but she accepted only quality work and top roles in various dramas and films. She was very different than other heroines of Pakistani film industry. People liked her film very much and she set new trend also in Pakistani Films. In an interview she said that she is not in the list of those people who visits daily to offices of Producers and director for work. She believes that her work is also her identification.
She never compromise on her self respect. Jia Ali singed only quality movies and always tries to accept only after reading her role. She said that many people complemented her that she looks like a model from her childhood and she should try in showbiz. But she first came in modeling and then famous stylist Nabeela arranged a meeting with Sajjad Gul and then my journey in Film industry started from that day. Many famous models also proved good actresses also.
She was very fond of fashion. For this reason, she enjoy very much during modeling shows specially when walking on ramp. Jia Ali is also a model of international standards. She also said that modeling is like oxygen for her. But on the other hand she accepts acting only after she is completely satisfied. Our showbiz industry is full of talented but also some unintelligent peoples who don't now abc of acting and other technicalities.

Looking For And Visiting Land For Sale
In that point in time, a lot more folks seem to be aiming for land which happens to be on the market to obtain. Buying land is a terrific plan for those aiming to get just a little money. Even so, properties to buy are often few and far in between with regards to intensely busy locations. To be able to see valuable property purchasers might be required to travel beyond their communities.
An awesome spot to start seeking land happens to be the world wide web. A lot of prospective buyers do some searching online initially so as to find territory which happens to be readily available. You'll find a number of wonderful web pages that actually catalog the particular parts of land that happen to be obtainable within a city or state. Buyers can hunt for land according to their particular placement or simply cost. These types of internet sites make it a good deal simpler to research and find comprehensive information concerning properties available for sale. Observe this page and discover a lot more facts about these internet sites.
Even though hunting online for property is great visiting a piece of land in the flesh is going to be a lot better. Virtually no potential buyer should ever purchase a chunk of property without seeing the property first. Frequently the wonderful pictures you see on the internet do not accurately match the specific condition of the actual property. Viewing the land directly will certainly allow a purchaser to more effectively determine its worth.

Beverage Packaging
Label Gap
Back Download
The packaging design of this wine brand is characterised by an unconventional label design: The contours of the paper labels with their detailed illustrations are die-cut to leave a gap in the form of a wine chalice between them. This is exactly where the lettering of the wine brand and the vintage is positioned. Also the illustrations of a kneeling knight and an angle direct the attention to the centre. Moving the front of the bottle from the label to the label gap stresses that the content is more important than the labelling.

Name: Karina Baymiller
Age: 25
Location: Cleveland, OH
Height: 5'6″
Occupation: Personal trainer, online health and fitness coach
Achievements: Bodybuilding.com Athlete, Cellucor Athlete, 2013 Bodybuilding.com Spokesmodel Runner-Up, featured in Nov/Dec 2013 issue of Muscle and Fitness Hers, ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, B.S in Kinesiology from Arizona State
When did you get started with fitness?
I was always slightly overweight when I was younger, but when I left for college, my weight increased dramatically from late nights of pizza and beer, and whole lot of sitting around doing nothing. I hit my heaviest weight my freshman year of college at 190lbs and stayed there until the end of my senior year. A few months before I graduated, I became really ill and lost close to 10lbs in a week. After my recovery, I realized I liked the new, slimmed down version of myself, and I decided I wanted to continue the weight loss. So I started eating smaller portion sizes and swapping out some of the fast food and junk for home cooked meals and fruits and vegetables. The weight came off steadily, but I found something was still missing…
I wanted more shape to my body. I wanted muscles. I wanted to feel strong.
I joined a gym and I started (as many do), on the treadmill or elliptical a few days a week with a few sets of abs. It wasn't until I met my ex-boyfriend (who was a personal trainer at the time), that I got into lifting weights… and once I did, I was hooked. The rest is history! I'm proof that you really can change your life no matter what your starting point. My lifestyle did a complete 180 (from Fat to Fit), and I couldn't be happier.
How do you stay so motivated? What drives you?
My motivation has changed a few times throughout my fitness journey. At first I was focused on appearance… I kept going because I liked waking up leaner everyday. Then I realized that there's more to life than whether or not I think I look good… so my motivation changed. I'm now focused on being the best possible athlete I can be.
I want to be able to lift heavier, sprint faster, and push harder every time I step into the gym.
I'm in a competition with myself, and making the best version of me, everyday. I'm also motivated knowing that thousands of people look to me as an inspiration (which is still crazy to me!). They're what keep me going even on my hardest days. I think motivation is different for everyone, but in all honesty, appearance shouldn't be at the top of the list. You have to dig deeper and find something to hold onto that will keep you pushing.
What has been the hardest obstacle for you to overcome?
I think the current journey I'm on to regain balance is my life has been by far the most difficult obstacle to overcome. Losing 60lbs was a breeze compared to attempting to find a happy medium between life and the fitness world. Throughout my weight loss journey, I found myself becoming more and more restrictive of the foods I ate, when I ate, how much I ate, etc. After I competed, the restriction was at an all time high, and at an extremely unhealthy level (i.e. weighing out grams of lettuce everyday and having anxiety attacks around eating "off plan"). It was close to a year before I decided I needed to take care of my mental health and not just physical. I packed away my food scale, deleted my calorie counting apps and relearned what it was like to eat like a "normal" person again… not from a clock or a food scale. It's been one hell of a struggle, but everyday I get a little bit better. I'm a completely different person than I was only a few short months ago, and that's a great thing. I have no anxiety around food
I enjoy what I eat, I eat when I'm hungry, I stop when I'm full, I eat a cookie if I'm craving it, and most importantly, I'm happy.
I'm happier than I've been in a very long time. It's been an extremely freeing journey, and I look forward to what the future has in store.
What does your current training schedule/program look like?
I'm currently following Wendler 531 (with a few modifications). When I said I became hooked on lifting, I meant it. I fell in love with powerlifting (I hope to do a meet someday!), and model my workouts after a power/bodybuilding style to combine the best of both worlds. I've seen insane progress in strength and hypertrophy in only a few short months.
Day 1: Shoulders
– Push Press (Wendler)
– Superset: Arnold Press with Lateral Raises, 4 sets 8-12
– Dumbbell Rear Delt Raise, 4 sets 8-12
Day 2: Hamstring/Glute/Low Back
– Deadlift (Wendler)
– Superset: Barbell Hip Raises with Leg Curl, 4 sets 8-12
Day 3: Conditioning/Abs
– Changes on a weekly basis but includes HIIT and circuits of things like jump rope, kettle bells, battle ropes, burpees, and box jumps.
– Abs also change on weekly basis but always includes a combination of weighted and unweighted ab exercises.
Day 4: Chest/Triceps
– Bench Press (Wendler)
– Superset: Dumbbell Flies (4 sets of 8-10) with Pushups (4 sets to failure)
– Weighted Dips
– Superset: Overhead Rope Extension with Cable Kickbacks (4 sets of 8-10)
Day 5: Leg
– Squats (Wendler)
– Superset: Walking Lunges with Leg Press (4 sets of 8-10)
– Leg Extension (4 sets of 8-10)
Day 6: Back/Conditioning
– Superset: Dumbbell Rows with Lat Pull downs (4 sets of 8-10)
– Superset: Seated Rows with Single Arm T-Bar Rows (4 sets of 8-10)
Conditioning depends on how my body feels. Sometimes I will include it at the end of my workout and sometimes I'll skip it if I need the rest.
Give us a breakdown of your daily diet.
My diet changes every single day. I'm on a journey to restore balance in my life and counting calories, weighing my food, and eating only chicken and broccoli, is not part of that journey. I eat when I'm hungry, stop when I'm full. I don't limit myself to "bodybuilder" foods, and if I'm craving something, I will eat it. I go out to eat with friends and family and enjoy an occasional glass of wine (or two). I'm the polar opposite of the popular "tilapia and asparagus every 3 hours", but this is what works for me. Am I as lean as I could be? Most definitely not… But I'm eating healthfully to fuel my killer workouts, enjoying everything in moderation, and I'm happy.
Do you take any supplements to reach your fitness goals
Cellucor has been one of my favorites since the beginning.
C4 was my very first pre-workout, and it will be my last.
Strawberry margarita flavor is to die for and the pump I get from it is out of this world. I also take our BCAAs intra-workout to delay muscle fatigue, and as I say, to give me superpowers. I take Cellucor COR-Whey post-workout (and really any other time… I'm addicted). I honestly can't choose a favorite flavor because they're all so good… but my top three are 1) Cor-Fetti Cake Batter, 2) Cinnamon Swirl, and 3) Peanut Butter Marshmallow. My mouth is watering just thinking about them.
What is your single biggest "Fitness" related accomplishment?
There are so many, it really is hard to choose just one. My 60lb weight loss and being signed by two amazing companies are insane accomplishments and rank high on my list. But honestly, I think the thing that takes the number on spot my list is deadlifting 315lbs. I almost cried tears of joy after it happened, and believe me, I'm not a crier. I couldn't believe that I went from not touching a weight in my life, to deadlifting 315lbs in a matter of a few years. If you set goals for yourself and find passion in what you're doing, anything is possible. (And yes, I expect that number to increase!).
Is there anyone in the fitness industry you look up to?
So many people! I'm still considered a newbie having only been in the industry for about a year now… so I look up to everyone. I have found some great mentors and even better friends on my Bodybuilding.com and Cellucor teams. I honestly can't tell you how blessed I am to be surrounded by such amazing people in this industry with such great experience and knowledge to pass on. I'm just soaking it all in.
Name a fitness "Myth" that just isn't true no matter how many times you hear it?
This is another question where it's hard to choose just one! So many myths float around in the world of health and fitness, and it's unfortunate because people get the incorrect information! I'm going to have to go with "lifting heavy will make women look many." Well, I just deadlifted 315lbs… do I look manly? I would hope the answer's no, but you never know! (Haha).
Many women automatically think that lifting heavy and building muscle will make them grow a beard and turn into a man, when in fact that's quite the opposite.
My shape now is much more "womanly" than it was before I was working out (hello booty!). The extremely muscular women you see in the sport of bodybuiling have dedicated their entire LIVES to appearing that way. They eat, breathe, sleep, train, and supplement to appear the way they do. If you're a woman just getting into working out and lifting heavy, you couldn't look like that even if you wanted to. So let go of the fear that you'll become "manly" or overly muscular, and embrace the new curves while putting those boys to shame.
Tips for our readers to achieve their fitness dreams
Know that there will be roadblocks, there will be setbacks and there will be plateaus. There will be times you didn't work out as hard as you should have or you ate something you wish you hadn't. What matters is that you keep pushing forward and you never give up. Always keep your head up high, keep busting your ass, and keep your eyes on that light at the end of the tunnel. One mistake or setback should NEVER derail your ultimate goals. No matter what happens, do not give up.

she walks alone
with melancholy thoughts
of yesteryear's fate that led
her here
The path
before her now,
filled with trepidation;
beckons with both promise and fear
She must
walk on!
Destiny is
merely signposts from which,
she herself, must ponder and choose
the way
she carries her
heart and forgotten dreams...
hoping the lessons learned will guide
her home.

It's finished and I love it!
It's been cold and windy this weekend so it was hard to get photos. I'm pleased with the wavy quilting lines and everything overall. It's my largest quilt yet at about 59" x 72".
I know it looks strangely shaped in the picture (above) but it's just the way it's hanging on the fence.
We have a quilt guild meeting on Tuesday so I'll take it with me for show and tell. A lot of my favorite fabric lines made it into this one - Mendocino, Picnic and Fairgrounds, Prince Charming, Tufted Tweets, Sherbet Pips, etc.
In knitting news I finished the first Nalu mitt. I don't love it. Kid Starfish has actually been using it as an Iron Man super hero wrist weapon-thingy. Not sure what will come of this project.


text: Letter: Apathy not the only factor in low voter turnoutLetters to the Editor July 27, 2015|Written By Janis Criger With respect to your June 29 story, "A closer look at law society voting patterns," I would respectfully point out a fact that might have caused some of the decline in the vote during the Law Society of Upper Canada bencher election.In the 2015 election, the vote was almost solely electronic. Only those voters without an e-mail address would receive any ballot other than an electronic one.Unfortunately, the ballot e-mail came from Computershare and not from the law society itself. Add to that the fact that it was clearly a bulk e-mail and it is likely that many copies went to junk or spam folders rather than the inbox. In some firms, lawyers are not permitted access to their junk or spam folders. Those lawyers might never have seen the ballot at all.Although I believe your reporting was fair, it is possible that there are factors other than apathy at play in the low voter turnout for the 2015 bencher election.Janis Criger,Bencher, central south

May APFT Challenge Results
We're down to three recruits still holding on, myself included.
Jack and Emily Phoenix managed two commendable scores of 174 and 196, respectively. It wasn't their best scores during the challenge, but they are still solid and committed. Jack has been hunkered down, studying for his LSAT, so his time is limited. The test is next week, and I hope his hard work pays off.
I once again wasn't expecting a gain in my score. I don't remember the last time I've done strength work and for the 2 weeks following Back 2 the Beach, I only ran a few days. Despite feeling like a lazy bum, I still managed to pull off a new PR of 245. My goal of 242 has been met with a month to go! Apparently all that yard work has been helping.
So thanks to Jack and Emily for sticking with me and good luck over the next 4 weeks!

- About Hunger
- How to End Hunger
- Our Impact
- Get Involved
Washington, D.C. – Bread for the World today expressed concern that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, introduced in the House of Representatives, will harm low-income families.
The same budget resolution that permits $1.5 trillion in deficit spending for tax cuts outlines more than $2 trillion in cuts to low-income programs such as SNAP and Medicaid.
The direct benefits of the House tax bill would go mainly to high-income people, with mixed impacts among middle-income families and no help for low-income families.
In fact, it could load lots of new paperwork and delay on many low-income workers who qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit. It would end the Child Tax Credit for three million children in low-income immigrant families. The average annual income for these working families is $21,000 a year, and they would lose an average of $1,800.
The bill also eliminates the New Market Tax Credit, which has done more to fight food deserts than any other program to date and has created up to 750,000 jobs in low-income communities.
The bill's defenders argue that it will boost the job market. While deficit spending is likely to boost to the economy, the corporate sector already has cash reserves they are not investing, and high-income people tend to spend less of their income than low- and middle-income people.
"This tax bill is part of an unprecedented push to shift resources from low-income to high-income people," said Rev. David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World. "It's hard to see how shifting resources from low-income to high-income people will create jobs."
Beckmann is both a Lutheran pastor and an economist.
Last week, Bread released "Tax Policy Is a Hunger Issue," which outlines how tax reform could be used to help low-income families and reduce hunger.
These fact sheets provide a snapshot of hunger and poverty in the United States and in each state plus Washington, D.C.
Even before Hurricanes Irma and Maria struck Puerto Rico, hunger and food insecurity were much more common among Puerto Ricans than among their fellow U.S. citizens in the 50 states.
Good nutrition is a critical part of ensuring that all human beings can use their bodies and minds to live an active life and reach their full potential.

Unnecessarily long prison sentences, combined with the lack of rehabilitative programs for people in prison, exacerbate hunger, poverty, and existing inequalities.
Overly harsh mandatory minimum prison sentences have contributed to the rapid increase of our country's prison population. The...

American invasion Iraq
A newly released study by American, Canadian and Iraqi researchers concludes that the US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq has resulted in nearly half a million deaths.
Vietnam: American Holocaust
This film is available on DVD with 5 extra features including one written by Martin Sheen at Amazon.com or http://VietnamAmericanHolocaust.com.
The United States killed between 3 and 5 million people in the Vietnam War. This feature looks at the history of that war and the how and why it happened using interviews with participates on both sides, speeches, conversation and actual wartime footage. Contains graphic violence.
Photo: Vietnam Agent Orange Victims
Severely disabled and abandoned at birth, 124 children live at the Ba Vi Orphanage and Elderly home near Hanoi, Vietnam. They are believed to be 3rd generation Agent Orange(a defoliant used by the US military during the Vietnam War) victims, but nothing is known about their family history and the center lacks the resources to conduct medical tests to prove such a link.
For the 124 children there is one doctor, two nurses, and six caretakers. Eighty percent of the children are mentally disabled. The center receives national funding of $15 USD for every child per month.
Most of the children live a life without recreation, education, or physical therapy and spend the majority of their day in wooden chairs or in mass beds. Some of the children more prone to wandering off at night or harming the other children are kept in locked iron cages overnight and during afternoon naps. The majority of the children will live their entire lives at the center.
Currently the Vietnam Victims of Agent Orange Association is campaigning against US Chemical Companies involved in producing the dioxin during the Vietnam War seeking compensation for all its victims.

U.S. Department of State Diplomacy: 'If You Try To Sail To Gaza, Israel May Kill You'
State Department Travel Warning: If You Try To Sail To Gaza, Israel May Kill You
On June 22, 2011, the American State Department released an updated travel warning for Israel and the Occupied Territories. The update signified that it was issued "to warn against participation in any attempt to reach Gaza by sea." The warning is likely in light of the so-called "Freedom Flotilla" of humanitarian activists setting out any day now to break the blockade of Gaza enforced by the Israeli military.
Last year, a similar attempt to break the blockade ended in the deaths of nine people, including an American.
The State Department warning says:
The security environment within Gaza, including its border with Egypt and its seacoast, is dangerous and volatile. U.S. citizens are advised against traveling to Gaza by any means, including via sea. Previous attempts to enter Gaza by sea have been stopped by Israeli naval vessels and resulted in the injury, death, arrest, and deportation of U.S. citizens. U.S. citizens participating in any effort to reach Gaza by sea should understand that they may face arrest, prosecution, and deportation by the Government of Israel. […] On May 31, 2010, nine people were killed, including one U.S. citizen, in such an attempt.
Photo: The Libyan ship Amalthea. On 4 July 2010, an aid group in Egypt unloaded aid supplies from the Libyan ship Amalthea. The Tripoli-based Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation had wanted the ship to take the supplies directly to Gaza. Israeli missile ships had been shadowing the Amalthea since Wednesday morning to ensure that it would not reach Gaza. U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley urged Libya 'to avoid confrontation and allow the Israelis to inspect the vessel with 2,000 tons of aid supplies'…

This recipe was inspired by a recipe in the Plum Bistro cookbook, which is an amazing plant-based restaurant in Seattle. Adjusted and adapted for our needs of course. 🙂
Beet & Blood Orange Salad w/ Cilantro Pesto
Each Serving Contains:
- 1 Veggie Serving (adjust quantity to your individual food plan)
- 1 Protein Serving
- 1 Fat Serving
- 1 Fruit Serving
Veggie Serving
- 2 bunches of beets (I used golden and red beets)
- Bed of greens to reach veggie weight (try lettuce, arugula, shredded cabbage, kale, use whatever you've got!)
Protein & Fat Serving
- Cilantro Lime Pesto (2 proteins + 2 fats)
- 4 oz pine nuts, walnuts, or a combination of both (2 protein servings)
- 1 oz olive oil (2 fat servings)
- 1 bunch cilantro (or use basil if you don't like cilantro)
- 2 small cloves garlic
- 1/2 large lime (or 1 small lime)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 jalapeño pepper (optional)
Fruit Serving
- 2 blood oranges (yes, you could just use regular oranges, but these are just so pretty!)
Maintenance Modifications
- Grain Additions: Toss in 4 oz of quinoa, or eat a side of potatoes or sweet potatoes, flourless crackers, rice cakes, etc.
- Protein Additions: Sprinkle more nuts on top, or add chickpeas.
- Fat Additions: Increase oil or nuts, or add avocado.
- Cut the stems off the beets and boil them whole, peels on, lid on, in a large pot of water for about 1 hour, or until fork tender.
- Do something else for a while.
- When the beets are done, strain them, let them cool, and run them under water to peel the beets easily and gently with your hands. Slice into rounds (or just dice them, rounds are just a presentation thing)
- Peel the oranges and slice them into rounds, or separate them into wedges if you prefer.
- Make the pesto by placing all the ingredients into a food processor and blending or pulsing until it reached your desired texture, scraping sides with a spatula as needed.
- Serve and weigh the beets and salad greens to reach your veggie serving. Garnish with the orange.
- Divide the pesto into 2 equal portions. One of them equals a complete protein and fat serving. Serve atop the veggies and fruit.
- Admire the pretty colors, feel gratitude, and then mix it all up and enjoy!
- Keeps well for a day in the fridge.

Shortlist (0)
Prelude: Short Piece toddler playing mid-tempo song ... using guitar, voice and sound environments child
2. A cow and a seal: Children's Song. Mean time, as a kind of bossa nova. Using guitar, drums, bass, fender rhodes, congas, pandeiro, harmonica and vocals ... tells the story of two animals that live in two different elements such as water and earth ... in this case a cow and a seal who fall in love and try to find a possible place where you can love ... in this song were in the dream of a child who had these two animals as pets and slept with them ... made them inseparable pair ... also speaks of how one must be consistent with what you want and feel ownership of the universe that is open to all and where ever, even a little, there will be a light where you can be happy now.
The Wait: An issue rather slow, rhythmic elements using Cuban floklore but modern instruments like the drums, guitar, electric bass, piano, voice stick and water. It's a song about the time you spend trying to discover where things hurt ... and the pain will ever really strong but at least if we are together will be at least as milder and everything has its opposite and white ... black, life and death coexist in harmony, but mostly talking about living loving
"De Colores" is a medium tempo blend of Caribbean and South American beats like Bossa and other influences such as jazz and electronic or funk. De Colores (of Colors) is a collaboration between the Brazilian Musician Lenine and Yusa. A techno style, using programming, loops, flute, vocals, guitars, fender Rhodes, drums and background vocals.
Breathe slow tempo theme. With harmony reminiscent of those environments rithym and blues for the use of electric guitar, backing vocals, fender rhodes, electric bass, drums and vocals. A melancholy theme, he speaks of the state of unrest that left many people in the collapse of the Twin Towers in the U.S. on September 11, while a person could see from the window of his home and disappeared somewhat accustomed to see ... and as looking for comfort and where it is sometimes better to think it was a dream from which one day will wake up.
Up: An issue of a fast tempo. Jazz style, using electric guitar, electric bass, fender rhodes, drums and vocals. It's a song made to chance encounters. The fact dawn next to people you love and so a song is a pretext to talk about happiness, sharing the fate spaces that money can not pay. Love
The ghost of the sailor: Topic slow tempo. With elements of Rock and Roll, but also used the congas, electric guitars, piano, string section, electric bass, drums and vocals. It's a song about the status of a family in which one of its members is a merchant seaman, and spends much time in the sea. ... And that state of being ghost for lack of manners or absences and how the habit makes always be the same feeling to wait for a guy who does not know how come after so long and at the same time as custom makes everything start over again and again and that feeling will never change ... until one day of waiting something changed and it was the last time I waited .. but many other families with the same situation were used to wait forever.
Theme of fast tempo. A kind of jungle, tossed with drums, electric guitar, electric bass, vocals and voice, an issue that is worth noting the relationship between two women ... what causes this relationship in a society that for cultural reasons still dogmas to couples same sex and also talks about how times have changed and so have become more tolerant since the reaction of some lasted less time, which means that love prevailed.
This track features a slow melancholic feeling sang by Yusa and Haydee.
A wonderful collaboration between young Cuban diva Yusa and Haydee, the talented daughter of New Song movement icon Pablo Milanes. Taken from Yusa's second album, 'Breathe' (TUMI CD 131), this vital artist with her eclectic breadth of sound moves ever forward, revealing 21st century Cuban music to be a vital mix of exciting ideas as well as cheeky and witty.
Fear: Theme of slow tempo. Stylish swing is done using the bass, piano, trumpet, and two voices. It's a romantic theme that it is precisely the fear felt by a couple who just realize that unites a love and are trying to make the change and then not really do not realize that the only thing to do is win this time they have to love it now because the future is totally unknown and will only pass the time and if in the meantime we continue with the excessive love for each start.
News: Theme allegro ma non troppo tempo, with rhythmic elements reminiscent of cuecas Argentine classical motifs, and passes through several states sound ... It's an issue where they are used gay guitar, piano, string section, drums, electric bass . It is a subject who's telling the news of a day in the lives of two people who never met and one of them to the fact of being good about yourself makes you create a whole love story reminiscent of yesterday, the neighborhood the old school where she once loved him and everything around it shines and is perfect ... and as a reflection as it is a sort of awareness of how life is like weaving the destiny and sometimes a forget how to live ... while life is happening there ... and one with it .. over time.
Candao cerrao: It is about tempo allegro. Used electric bass, guitar, piano, drums, brass, choirs and two voices ... one female and one male. It is an issue which concerns the relationship between a Cuban classic pair but can be any couple in the world where in society are still some prejudices about women and their place in society. It is a parody to such couples who have a habit of that man who makes the decisions in life, but in this case is a woman of this time where he feels and asserts its right to decide and make decisions of all kinds , as they are modern times where women have another role in society and it is taken into account ... in this pair was an evolution in terms of this dogma, which like everything that is imposed remains stagnant and outdated .... or old .

The Perks of having a Guy Best Friend
All girls have girl besties...but what about the guys? There are so many perks of having a guy best friend, that only the lucky ones would understand. So many movies have been made about best friends falling in love and getting together, but sadly very few on the guy and girl staying friends forever. If some one tells you guys can never be "just friends" ... believe them, because guys were meant to be our BESTEST friends.
1. They can make any damn thing sound funny. Be it a bad date or a worse day, ...he's got it all covered with his stupid jokes and sick sense of humour. It simply isn't possible to not end up rolling around in laughter when he's around.
2. You can always skip the drama around you guy best friend. The easy going and carefree attitude you have around him isn't what you would have shown your boyfriend, but its priceless.
3. He is NEVER going to sugar-coat ANYTHING for you. Constructive criticism....what's that?! If you want an honest opinion, he is the one you go to. You may feel like killing him after that, but hey... you can't fatten yourself with flattery right?
4. LATE to get home? Doesn't matter if your guy best friend is with you. Rather, your parents are glad he is there with you making sure you don't get into trouble...
5. You don't need to watch you language around him. Any other guy may judge you, but your guy best friend will ALWAYS encourage you.
6. You don't need a bodyguard when you've got a guy best friend. He may drive you crazy, but no one else can, ...not on his watch.
7. Got a guy problem? Relationship advice? How to handle a weird situation? Your boy bestie is the perfect man to approach. It's always handy to have a guy's opinion too.
8. It doesn't matter if he is late (which he always is)... you know that the wait will be worth the meet. But you can still be pissed off at him... and expect a ridiculous excuse from him in return too!
9. He'll wake up at 3 a.m and take your call. It doesn't matter what time it is...when you need him, he'll always be there. No excuses, no silly explanations ...after all, you'd do the same for him.
10. He is the only guy who will always put up with your ranting and whining, no matter what. He may most likely even surpass your girl best friends in their listening skills after a bad break up.
All in all he is the craziest, zaniest, bitchiest, funniest and most honest friend you will ever have. Boy best friends may be under rated, but they mean a lot to us girls.

Q. What?s the difference between a Plasma screen, Plasma monitor and Plasma TV?
When referred to as a Plasma screen this usually infers there is no built-in TV tuner / TV receiver. A plasma screen is also referred to as a Plasma monitor. A picture is obtainable by simply connecting an external TV tuner, satellite receiver or DVD player using the appropriate cables. A Plasma TV usually refers to an integrated product that incorporates a tuner to receive television broadcasts.
Q. Do I have to change the gas or re-fill?
No. This is a myth. When the Plasma glass configuration is manufactured the inert gas is sealed into the glass unit. The gas does not need to be changed or recharged as it is inert, and a good Plasma product should last as long as any other quality CRT / conventional TV.
Q. How long do Plasma screens/TVs last? Do they ever wear out?
This could be answered with another question; how long do conventional / CRT screens last? A similar answer could apply to the current quality Plasma screen/TV. The brightness of any Plasma screen will diminish gradually over time. This is measured in terms of "time to half-brightness", for which many quality Plasma products are rated at 30,000 hours, which equates to around 33 years (UK adult TV/video viewing = 17 hours a week, Office of National Statistics April 2002).
Q. Are all Plasma screens/TVs the same?
There are some who say that ALL Plasma screens/TVs are equal and you only pay more because of the name, let us dispel that myth. Each manufacturer's Plasma screens/TVs are different though they may use some of the same components.
Q. Should I look for a better Contrast Ratio even though I don't understand what it is?
Quite simply don't worry about the technical side - it's easy to remember that in the majority of specifications the higher the ratio number [3,000:1 is better than 2,000:1], the better the picture quality and detail. The Contrast Ratio determines picture quality and the higher the better providing quality and detail especially in the darkened areas of programmes and films.
Q. What is "screen burn"? Can it be avoided? Fact or Fallacy?
Screen burn is nothing new as it has been most apparent on conventional CRT screens/TVs for many years should an image be static for many hours. Airports and Railway Stations using CRT were the main areas to view a 'screen burn' situation on a CRT.
Q. Can I use a polish or glass cleaner on the screen/TV?
Unavoidably, the screen/TV will attract dust and fingerprints. To ensure your screen looks and functions at its best, you need to ensure it is clean. To clean the glass use a micro-fibre cloth to remove fingerprints and dust, and use a small amount of a non-smearing window-cleaning fluid to break down accumulated dirt and fingerprints. Avoid using any form of furniture polish to clean the screen/TV, as this will damage it. Regularly clean the rear air-vents (at least four times a year) to ensure smooth airflow. Please note, if the vents become blocked, the temperature of the screen will increase and reduce the overall life of the product.
Q. Do I need a TV Licence for my Plasma set or each other sets I may have?
You need a TV Licence to use any television receiving equipment such as a Plasma or LCD TV set, set-top boxes, video or DVD recorders, computers or mobile phones to watch or record TV programmes as they are being shown on TV. Currently the UK requirement only stipulates one licence per household irrespective of the number of TV sets. TV sets away from the registered residence of the Licence are subject to a separate Licence.

A drug used to treat diabetes can help boost the efficacy of tuberculosis (TB) medication without inducing drug resistance, researchers, led by an Indian-origin scientist, have found.
TB is an air-borne infectious disease caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (Mtb), which often infects the lungs. Even though drugs are available to treat the disease, TB continues to be a major threat to public health, killing close to 1.5 million people every year.
Conventional drugs used to treat TB usually adopt a pathogen-targeted strategy which attacks and kills bacteria directly. This approach has caused Mtb strains to acquire drug resistance, making existing treatments become increasingly ineffective and resulting in a pressing need to design new therapeutic strategies for the disease.
An international team of scientists led by the Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN), a research institute under the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (ASTAR), Singapore began searching for drugs that could control Mtb replication indirectly. They screened FDA-approved drugs and identified Metformin (MET), an old anti-diabetic drug that could defend Mtb invasion without targeting the bacteria directly.
Instead, MET targets the host cells to trigger the production of a chemical which then damages Mtb and stops its replication. Such indirect, host-targeted approach is less likely to engender drug resistance. The team also discovered that MET improves the efficacy of conventional anti-TB drugs when used in combination with them.
The scientists then validated the findings with patient data provided by the Tuberculosis Clinical Unit at the Tan Tock Seng Hospital, and consequently verified that the use of MET is indeed associated with improved TB control and decreased disease severity. This anti-diabetic drug is therefore a promising adjunctive therapy that could enhance the effectiveness of existing TB treatments.
As it is a drug that is currently in use, another benefit of using MET as an adjunct treatment for TB is that it is likely to shorten the time required for clinical trials. "Using MET as an adjunct treatment for TB is very promising since this drug interferes with the biochemical pathway essential for the bacteria's survival and does not promote the development of drug resistance," said lead scientists Dr Amit Singhal, Project Leader and Prof Gennaro De Libero, Principal Investigator at SIGN.
"MET is also a very cheap and safe drug with no adverse effect on non-diabetic patients. This would likely shorten clinical trials and we are confident that a better and affordable TB treatment will be made available soon," said Singhal.

Our long-term health has become a major national and personal focus. In the last ten years, we have seen the convergence of several social movements that recognize that people's actions are situated in a larger ecosystem of causes and effects. Especially pronounced are movements to provide holistically healthy environments and habits for children, and to create more supportive, less costly systems for end-of-life care. Sophisticated feedback technologies encourage the healthy to stay well, as part of a low key but pervasive system for preventive health. A substantial portion of the population is becoming convinced that they can no longer live however they please, and rely on health care to "fix" them when health problems arise. People, companies, communities, and our nation as a whole have a responsibility to work together to change behaviors and structures that nurture health resilience.
What could Health and Health Care look like in 2020? Watch the Collapse transformation video at http://www.hc2020.org/transformation and comment how are we moving towards or moving away from this scenario?

Fixed compression ratio engines have been in existence throughout the 130-year history of the motor car. Throughout this time, other manufacturers have taken on the challenge of developing a variable compression ratio engine. INFINITI will be the first to bring the technology to market, with an engine that continuously transforms according to driver behavior.
A truly historic challenge, INFINITI has worked on this technology for more than 20 years. The first major breakthrough was the invention by INFINITI of a new multi-link technology in 1998, which held the key to a true variable compression ratio.
INFINITI has tested and developed more than 100 engine prototypes in perfecting the technology, covering over three million kilometers of equivalent road testing and spending over 30,000 hours on the test bed (equal to five million kilometers of on-road testing). The engine is now in its final stages of development on real roads.
The advanced new VC-Turbo engine is the latest driver-focused technology from INFINITI. The company has introduced a series of world-first technologies since 1989, such as 'steer-by-wire' Direct Adaptive Steering and predictive forward collision warning.
