Here are some more stuff I did at my time at Kabam. Each building here had four stages and would fortify as the player progresses. It was fun developing and figuring out how each building would evolve. (All work is copyrighted by Kabam)
A couple planes that were added during gameplay. These illustrations would pop up when a player chooses a certain offensive or defensive attack.

Finish Line Ceramic Lube Wax 4 Oz
Brought to you by Bike Force Balcatta
Finish Line's Ceramic-WAX is an advanced wax-based lubricant featuring nano-sized platelets of ceramic boron nitride and micron particles of fluoropolymer. Ceramic WAX creates a coating with an extremely low coefficient of friction. Every time Ceramic WAX is applied, the ceramic coating is enhanced, ultimately providing the durability of many oil-based lubricants! Ceramic WAX ensures total drivetrain cleanliness without the 'distance' compromise that other wax lubricants require.
With Finish Line Ceramic WAX there is no 'wetness' or stickiness on your chain or parts, so dirt or grime are not attracted or absorbed by the lubricant. By avoiding abrasive wear, parts run more smoothly and last much longer! And Ceramic WAX is engineered to not have a wax film that will buildup over time.
The technology that defines Ceramic WAX is so unique and leading edge it's patented!
• Patented nano-Ceramic Chemistry
• Smooth & Quiet and extremely durable
• Perfect for dry climates & dirty conditions
• Builds ceramic coating on frictional surfaces

Adding a size simply helps the server to make the correct decision about sending a 304 or not.

I. Am. In. A. Funk.
I've been traveling a lot lately and I think it is starting to take a toll on my body. There is this funky feeling I haven't had for quite some time now and I don't know exactly how to put my finger on it.
I just feel off. Not on my A game.
Am I worried something might be going on with my body? Absolutely.
Do I think it's probably a combination of stress, anxiety, traveling, how busy I've been and just generally trying to keep my head above water? Yes.
If you are reading my blog, you know all about feeling "off." That feeling you get when something isn't right and you aren't quite sure if it was the food you ate, how you are sleeping or something internal. Ever since I was diagnosed with celiac disease and endometriosis, I think I am much more in tune to my body than every before. I pick up on patterns now and realize things much faster than before. But even now, I still get stumped by things.
My weight keeps on increasing despite attempts to get back on the fitness program. I know I've been snacking more lately and drinking alcohol more than normal but not to the point of where my weight is now. I recommitted to myself 4 days ago and am on the right track. I'm motivated and ready to go. So, then why have I had a migraine for 3 days? It's like there is always something to get in the way lately and I haven't been in the mood to push through it.
Sometimes I am hard on myself. I'm in the fitness industry, I own a gym and I write fitness articles so I assume I should look the part. But, on the flip side, I have a few chronic diseases that people can't see which control my body in more ways than one. It's frustrating. I'm frustrated. Actually, my therapist last year said that "frustrated" is just a nicer word for anger. Which is true, I am mad at myself and my body today.
I think it's important to share my feelings on good days and bad days for all of you to know I'm not perfect (as much as I'd like to think I am though lol). I go through those periods where it just seems like everything goes wrong and you just want to watch TV all day. I'm trying now to pull myself out of it and it's tough but I can do it. Last night the last thing I wanted to do with a headache was do a workout, so instead I took the dog for a walk. He enjoyed it and his happy tail wagging helped me with my mood. Aaron even came out with us last night and did a tour of the neighborhood. It was nice.
I'll get through this! I know I will. I want you to know you will too. If you feel like you're in a funk and just can't get out of it, that's okay.
Sometimes, we just need to hit the restart button.
I have a ton of stuff going on in my personal life that I can't talk about publicly yet (all good stuff!) but they are major life changes (no I'm not pregnant) and have consumed a lot of my time and life the last few months. I need to pay attention to everything wonderful in my life and just keep treading water until things get better!

When it comes to having your worst performance, Lionel Messi couldn't have picked more inconvenient time than this. The sportsman had one of his worst performances during Sunday's Copa America Centenario final against Chile.
There were a few opportunities that Messi had but he was unsuccessful at getting a good shot. He did take a few free kicks but never created any quality chances for his teammates.
He did not even make a penalty kick. This miss resulted in Argentina falling behind early during penalties, and for the second consecutive year, Chile landed up outscoring them 4-2, emerging the victors in the tournament.
Have you been using the crying Messi meme? Like the article and see how Arsenal paid £34 million for Alexandre Lacazette and Mario Balotelli found new friends among ducks.

Just moments after we heard what a collision with the sound guy sounds like, the Browns and Steelers provided yet another weird gem.
Steelers safety Mike Mitchell was called for a facemask, and he didn't like it too much. He yelled and complained to the referees, and the entire thing was caught by the broadcast because the referees had their microphones on.
Did he have a point? You be the judge:
If the NFL wants to fix their ratings issues, they should mic up every player.

applesauce, baking, cake, muffin, snack, vegan, vegetarian
I guess it's no secret that I have a bit of a "muffin problem". I daydream about muffins, I want to turn everything I eat into a muffin, the infinite possible flavor combinations of the muffin makes my head spin, it would seem I just can't get enough of them. However, that doesn't keep me from periodic fraternizations with the muffin's closest relative: the snack cake. The snack cake lies somewhere between the muffin and cake, not fully committing to either category. It's such a flexible snack, you can have a little bite as you are passing by or a huge slab (bear in mind a little bite every time you pass by equals a huge slab), it can be a dessert, it can be breakfast, it can be whatever you want it to be! So meet my friend the Applesauce Raisin Snack Cake…
Applesauce Raisin Snack Cake
Dry ingredients:
2 cups flour (I used 1 cup spelt and 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour)
1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
dash of ground cloves
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Wet ingredients:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
Fold in:
1 cup raisins
Combine dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Combine wet ingredients in a small bowl. Add wet ingredients to the dry mixing only until just combined. Fold in raisins and spread mixture into a prepared small square baking dish. Bake for about 22-26 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.

In any case how does running and financial planning have in common?
I like the analogy of running and personal finance it has simple rules to follow. Running is easy to do but going an extra mile would require a lot of trials along the way. A person intending to engage in this sport must be physically and mentally trained in this type of physical sport. Sharing my sentiments on this sport, I have been running for sometime now and participated in short distance running mostly 2.5 Kilometer to 5 kilometer runs in the past. We know for a fact they are both different in a sense but there are lot of lessons I learned from these two different disciplines.
The preparation is the hard thing to do and it require continual improvement process
Disciplining yourself is the key
For runners, the training regimen should be continuous in achieving your stamina, endurance and other attributes if one wants to develop including one's cardiovascular fitness. It always has a time frame and program from nutrition, exercise and distances of the running aspect.
In personal finance, a person who really wants to achieve one's personal goal should implement a saving and investing financial program that could be used for for short to long term plans for oneself or for his / her family. This is the most hardest part any people do, the delaying tactics or sacking off a week after your last training is not an option but for those who are determined to achieve their goals it could be possible but if you wander off or get sidetracked, try to get back quick and do it double time. Investing on Mutual Fund or a Unit Investment Trust Funds (UITFs) are very useful be an investment vehicles.
In running, the mental toughness is stronger other than the physical strength as most people thought. But I partly agree with this saying and everything should be balanced from the angles from training, nutrition and the fitness program including the psychological aspect of a would be runner that he is thinking clearly and positively in achieving their goals. It's all in the mind for athlete who visualize themselves in the end of the race. Anyone who engages in this type of sport feel physical pain and discomfort in the process in which it is the same in personal finance minus the physical pain, what are your plans in the long run and how do you want to achieve it? Making a lot of sacrifices like living within your means, paying off debts, creating an college educational fund for a child or making an personal investment plan for oneself are just a few examples which are already challenging enough for anyone to achieve.

See all the amazing things we'll be doing on this trip of a lifetime! – Debra
Welcome Soul Adventurers!
We meet at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York at the Egypt Air counter for international check-in. Please arrive no later than 3:00 p.m. We have a brief orientation to meet all the members of our group, and then learn an ancient meridian energy technique that virtually eliminates jet lag. We board our evening non-stop flight to Cairo, which departs at 6:30 p.m. The flight is 11 hours. Meals and movies are provided on board.
Welcome to Egypt!
Finally, we're here! We arrive in Cairo at 12:00 noon Egypt Local Time. At the airport, representatives from our local tour partners, Guardian Travel, meet us, greet us and assist us through customs and baggage claim, handling our entire luggage. No wrestling with suitcases! Then we board our motor coach and sightsee as we make our way through the hustle and bustle of the city. The weariness of the flight is quickly forgotten as we drink in the sights of downtown Cairo – the Mosque of Mohammed Ali, the City of the Dead and we marvel as we cross the Nile River for the first time. Almost too quickly, we make our way to the historic and fabulous Mena House Hotel. The views of the Great Pyramid are spectacular. We settle into our rooms, have a wonderful group dinner in the evening and get a good night's rest so we're ready for tomorrow.
Mena House Hotel (Breakfast on plane, Snack on bus, Dinner at the hotel)
Great Pyramid, Sphinx & Valley Temple, Dinner at the Fayed Home, Sound and Light Show
This will be one of the most amazing days of your life. Right after breakfast, we take the quick jaunt from our hotel to the Giza Plateau. Prepare to be overwhelmed! Words cannot describe the wonder, grandeur and mystery of the Great Pyramid of Khufu as well as the magnificent adjoining pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. Next, we take in the Solar Boat Museum, the Valley Temple and the Guardian of the Horizons, the Great Sphinx. This is also the day we take a fun camel ride around the Giza Plateau. Coming over the sand dunes and seeing the Great Pyramid in front of you is so thrilling. And we'll do a special meditation to set our intentions for this amazing soul journey. Finally, for those interested in high quality Egyptian oils, we'll have a delightful time at the perfume and Egyptian oil shop of the Fayed family, who distributes these amazing oils internationally. We'll return to the luxurious Mena House tired, but smelling great! This evening, we are the guests of the Fayed family at their home which is literally across the street from the Sphinx. The evening culminates in the famous Sound and Light Show, which we watch from our perfect vantage point.
Mena House Hotel (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
The Step Pyramid at Sakkara & The Serrapium
This morning we take a beautiful and relaxing drive into the countryside south of the Giza Plateau to visit the incredible Step Pyramid at Sakkara. The Step Pyramid is considered by traditional Egyptologists to be the earliest, prototypical pyramid. It was designed for Pharaoh Djoser by the mythic figure Imhotep. Imhotep is recognized as the world's first named architect and doctor as well as a scribe, priest, astrologer, vizier and chief minister. Next is the incredible Serrapium. The ancient Egyptians worshiped the Apis bull, huge animals that were then mummified and the Serrapium contains many of the enormous sarcophogi they were buried in. The Serrapium was closed to the public for many years but it just re-opened and the site and the energy is spectacular, so we're so excited to be able to include this in our tour. Then, after taking a leisurely lunch and possibly a few puffs on the hookah, we're off for a visit to a carpet factory and school, seeing the incredible artistry of Egyptian hand-made carpets. Late in the afternoon we head to the airport — we fly to Luxor, home of the Valley of the Kings, for more adventures. We'll be staying at the beautiful Sonesta St. George, which is located directly on the Nile.
Sonesta St. George Hotel (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)
Karnak and Luxor Temple by Night
Today we awaken and marvel that we are eating breakfast overlooking the Nile and in high anticipation of the day. We make our way to the Temple Complex at Karnak, one of the most amazing places in all of Egypt. Although many sections have not survived the ravages of time, no temple site in Egypt is more impressive than Karnak. It is the largest temple complex ever built by man, and represents the combined achievement of many generations of ancient builders over a span of 1400 (!) years. The Temple of Karnak is actually three main temples containing smaller enclosed temples, and several outer temples all situated on 247 acres of land. Our guidance tells us that most if not all of the people on this trip have had many Egyptian lifetimes. If you lived in Egypt, it's highly likely that during one or more of those lifetimes you visited or lived at Karnak. In the afternoon, after our amazing time here, we will go to a papyrus shop where we learn ancient Egyptian paper making techniques. We'll experience Egyptian artistry first-hand, and have a chance to purchase incredible Egyptian papyrus. Tonight, we visit the Luxor Temple, built during the reign of Amenhotep III. For many centuries it was covered with the desert sands, so it is now one of the most perfectly preserved and beautiful temples in Egypt. That amazing beauty is highlighted and emphasized even more as we wander under the stars among the massive, dramatically lit columns, statues and obelisks.
Sonesta St. George (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)
Abydos and Dendara
Today we start early, as we make our way north along the Nile to the Temple of Abydos, which many consider the most sacred temple in all of Egypt. At Abydos especially, we will delve into controversial and secret versions of history that our tours are famous for. At this place, Seti I built an unusual temple dedicated to multiple gods. In this temple we get to view some very famous carvings of helicopters, tanks and jet planes. How is that possible? How can there be carvings of helicopters, tanks and jet planes in a temple of ancient Egypt? Pharoah Seti I's temple was built on top of an earlier temple of very ancient, possibly Atlantean origins, called the Osirion. Located on one of the pillars of the Osirion you will be able to see the "Flower of Life", which figures so prominently in the teachings of Drunvalo Melchizedek. At Abydos we will do a meditation calling in the most ancient of our past life memories, and activating energies for healing and release. After lunch, it's on to the Hathor Temple of Dendara, dedicated to one of the most beloved of the Egyptian deities, Hathor, Goddess of Love and Beauty. In this Temple we get to examine the famous Zodiac ceiling and the painted carvings of Nut (Goddess of the Night Sky) swallowing the solar disc at night and birthing it again each morning. Also in this temple we get a peek into esoteric Egyptian technology. We'll be taken to see some very unusual, hidden carvings that appear to depict a kind of electrical device powering an energy tube which looks like a light bulb with serpent filaments! The Hathor Temple is also the first temple of ancient Egypt for which the government has begun an ambitious project of cleaning the walls and ceilings of hundreds and hundreds of years of dirt, soot and smoke. The results have been spectacular and you will not believe the original beautiful colors they have found under the grime. It's almost as though they were covered all these years just so that we could experience these amazing colors and carvings all these thousands of years later.
Sonesta St. George (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)
Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut
This morning we awaken early, check out of our hotel and then we're off to the West Bank of the Nile to visit the Valley of the Kings. This is the largest mortuary complex for Pharaonic royalty, including such well known names as Ramses, Tutankhamun and Hatshepshut. We will also have our own private admission to the Tomb of Ramses VI, a stunningly beautiful tomb which was closed to the public for restoration but has been recently reopened to only a select number of visitors each day (including us!) Ramses' tomb contains amazing hieroglyphics and scenes of the afterlife, including one of the most beautiful representations of Nut, the Goddess of the Night Sky. We will also have the opportunity to visit 3 other tombs and you'll be amazed at the beautiful colors still visible after all these thousands of years. Next we'll visit the mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut (the female Pharaoh) and we'll have a quick photo op at the Colossi of Memnon. Afterwards, we'll visit an alabaster factory. Egyptian alabaster is known throughout the world over for its incredible beauty. We'll see how it's made and have the opportunity to purchase some of our own treasures. We then board our beautifully luxurious Nile Cruise Ship, which will be our home for the next four nights. As the ship's stewards transfer our luggage to our rooms, we feel the beautiful air of the Nile and truly feel that we have come home.
Nile Cruise Ship (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)
Cruising On the Nile
This morning, our Nile cruise officially begins, as our ship slips our Luxor moorings and heads upstream towards Aswan. After the amazing time we've had and all we've seen and done, it's time to slow down and unwind a bit as we take an entire day to refresh and relax as we Cruise the Nile. There are so many possibilities on board. You may want to go topside and snag some rays as you sip a drink by the pool. Maybe you'll delight in observing the ever changing scenes drifting past along the Nile; the boats, the farms, the villages and the wildlife. Maybe it's time for some pampering with a massage. Or possibly it's time to just sit quietly with your journal and remember and integrate the incredible experiences we've had so far. Whatever your choice, today is the day to recharge your batteries so that you're ready for the rest of our amazing adventures.
Nile Cruise Ship (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)
Temple Complexes at Edfu & Kom Ombo
Today our ship docks at Edfu, home of a Ptolemaic temple dedicated to the falcon god Horus. Of all the surviving temples of ancient Egypt, the Temple of Horus is the most complete and best preserved. It is easy to sense a deep eternal presence in the Holy of Holies, as we focus inward. As our ship continues on the Nile, steaming southward toward our next port of call, we pass another timeless scene. Watching farmers with their oxen plow the fields, and women wash their laundry at the water's edge, we slip into the timeless rhythms of this vast river of life, and comprehend on a very deep level how abundantly the Nile has nourished her children from time out of mind. Stirring from reverie we notice, as we round the bend, the Temple Complex at Kom Ombo. Dedicated to both Ra-Herakhty and the crocodile god Sobek, this unusual double temple expresses the Egyptian's understanding of the dual nature of reality. Here we, too, will meditate upon the light and shadow, yin and yang of our own natures. Tonight we'll have a really fun time at the galabaya party on our cruise ship. It's your opportunity to walk like an Egyptian!
Nile Cruise Ship (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)
Aswan, the Isis Temple, Unfinished Obelisk
Our first day in Aswan opens before us with the promise of new and exotic delights. Aswan has the welcoming, friendly feel of an oasis and indeed, the desert here is close at hand. Unlike Cairo, the air is pure and fresh and the city seems to vibrate with a clarity and intensity that reminds one of Machu Picchu or Sedona. Bright and early this morning we take a small boat to the beautiful Island of Philae, home of a beautiful, magical temple dedicated to Isis, the Great Mother. The energy of the Divine Feminine is very strong here. Plus, this was a temple that was moved to save it from the floods that occurred from the building of the Aswan Dam. The engineering feat is almost unbelievable. Next, we will visit the Unfinished Obelisk and get a sense of the gargantuan engineering feats of the ancient Egyptians. We'll return to our beautiful Nile cruise ship and have a leisurely lunch. We'll have a few hours to rest or hang out on the sun deck. Then, we board a felucca, a traditional Nile sailboat. On the felucca ride, you are intensely aware of the tremendous beauty of the moment. The light from the western sun dancing on the sparkling blue waters of the Nile; the bright, clear blue sky; the warm gentle breeze filling the sails; lush, green palms against the desert sand; the rising joy in your heart. It has indeed been a delightful day, filled with promises made and promises kept. And tonight there will be music and dancing on our cruise ship and if we're lucky, belly dancing!
Nile Cruise Ship (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)
Abu Simbel
Ah, the sweet sorrow of saying goodbye! Today we bid adieu to our floating home on the water, our Nile cruise ship, and the wonderful crew who have fed, feted and pampered us like Pharaonic royalty. But as with life, we let go of the good that we have known and turn our focus to the good yet to come. Now on our way to Abu Simbel, with Lake Nasser always visible on the left side, our plane takes us deep into the southern desert. In the 1960′s, with the building of the Aswan High Dam, rising waters from Lake Nasser threatened to inundate archeological treasures all along the Nile in Upper Egypt. Through an unprecedented international effort, the most important temple, Abu Simbel, and some smaller sites were cut into massive blocks, moved to higher ground and reassembled. As we make our way to the temple site, approaching from the back, we see only a very plain rounded hill with pathways to either side. As we round the hill, we are nearly struck dumb by the mind-bending sight. Before us loom four colossal, 67-foot high statues (each the size of a 7-story building) of Ramses II seated on his throne, facing Lake Nasser, guarding the entrance to his temple. Smaller statues of family members are between his legs. One hundred yards away, built into another hillside, is the Temple of Nefertari, Ramses II's favorite wife. Six colossal standing figures 33 feet high, four of Ramses II and two of Nefertari, are cut from the rock face, along with smaller figures of the royal family. What an amazing setting! We spend the rest of our time exploring these astonishing temples and then fly back to Cairo and back to the beautiful Mena House Hotel next to the Pyramids on the Giza Plateau for the astounding conclusion to our journey.
Mena House Hotel (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Egyptian Museum of Antiquities (Cairo Museum), Old Cairo
What an incredible day this will be! We will visit the renowned Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, also known as the Cairo Museum. Established in 1835, the Museum is the official repository of most of the archeological treasures of the Egyptian government from the prehistoric era to the Greco-Roman period. It is the world's densest concentration of ancient Egyptian artifacts and antiquities. Up close and personal, we get to examine incredible statues, mummies, jewelry and other artifacts. But the most amazing is viewing the famous collection from the tomb of Tutankhamen, an experience you will remember for the rest of your life. After lunch, we're off to Old Cairo to visit the Citadel, the scene of famous battles during the Crusades. We will then spend time at the incredible Mosque of Mohammed Ali, one of the most beautiful mosques in the Middle East. Later in the day we will wander the narrow streets and alleys of the Khan El Khalili Bazaar and we'll eat dinner at one of the interesting restaurants in the bazaar.
Mena House Hotel (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Private Time in the Great Pyramid, Farewell Dinner
And now the culmination of our journey, what we have all been waiting for. Our private time in the Great Pyramid. We'll have 2 hours all to ourselves for our ceremonies and meditations. We'll begin by going to the Queen's Chamber and doing a special ceremony. Then it's onto the King's Chamber, for our ceremony of resurrection and renewal. After that, we'll go into the Pit for an extraordinary meditation. The ceremonies inside the Great Pyramid are life changing. This evening, we'll have our Farewell Dinner and we realize our hearts are overflowing with both joy and sadness. Joy for all that we have experienced, learned and become; and sadness because our adventure is drawing to a close. We contemplate all the wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime adventures we have shared in the last two weeks, the lifetime friendships we have formed, and how we have been changed forever by our Return to Egypt.
Mena House Hotel (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)
Having packed the night before, we awaken early, eat a final breakfast and as a group, make our way to the airport. Here we have to say goodbye to our Guardian Travel friends – and by now, they really are friends. They have taken such good care of us, done such a wonderful job of organizing and orchestrating our time in Egypt, and shared so much of themselves and their culture with us! At least we have 11 more hours of flight time to reminisce, laugh and cry with our dear travel companions. As the plane takes off, and we see the pyramids and Cairo one last time from the air, silently, secretly we vow to return again. Chasing the sun on its westward arc, we arrive back in New York at 3:30 p.m., tired, happy and content and knowing that our lives have been transformed forever.
If you have any questions and would like to speak with your Tour Leader, Debra Stangl, please call Debra toll-free at (877) 204-3664. Debra loves talking about Egypt!
For our friends outside the US and Canada, call our direct line, (928) 204-5988.

Googs Unlimited (GU) is a newly chartered warm water conservation organization dedicated to protecting rock bass (Ambloplites rupestris) in the state of Indiana. The rock bass, also commonly known as the google eye, goggle eye, red eye, "another stupid fucking rock bass" and "the king", is currently being threatened by habitat loss and overfishing. The rock bass is native to our waters and highly prized amongst anglers for its tender, sweet tasting flesh, noble profile, hard fighting spirit and incredible stupidity.
Since attaining 501-3C status in February 2010, GU has applied for and been awarded a grant from the USDA for habitat improvements along a 5 mile section of the West Fork of the White River above Noblesville. In June 2010 we will begin this project by adding more muck to heavily cobbled areas and rock gardens, adding more roots and downed trees to bank areas and holes and generally slowing current in all areas.
Our long range plan is to institute a trophy rock bass program. While anglers can hardly be blamed for harvesting googs in large numbers for their fine flesh and aroma, such practices reduce the number of trophy rock bass present in our creeks and streams. In the winter of 2011 GU will begin lobbying Indiana DNR to institute a slot limit on rock bass caught in the same 5 mile stretch of the West Fork of the White River above Noblesville. We propose that all rock bass between 6 and 10 inches in length be immediately returned to the water unharmed.
We are also in the process of planning a radio tracking study of rock bass movement.

With Asian flavors at the top of the food trend charts since mid-2012, Pan-Asian offerings have become tremendously favorable and are a primary offering among the top brands in quick-service and fast-casual segments. One only needs to look at the new Asian food and beverage products introduced at the leading industry convention sponsored by the National Restaurant Association. BYO Bowls is aligning itself with the healthy dining options and believes experts in consumer dining and in the restaurant field authenticate this positioning.
Arnold Shain, acclaimed restaurant consultant, has stated: "Asian food tends to be more interesting, especially for the growing number of consumers tired of the same old thing – burgers and deep fried. People perceive Asian cuisine as a better way of eating and (as] more healthful, because it has less red meat and more noodles, rice, and vegetables."
Also, according to Winning Back Health-Conscious Consumers, a news report from Port Washington, N.Y., "healthy" is the No.1 characteristic that consumers across all segments and nearly all demographics want more of in restaurant menus. Whether explicitly or implicitly stated, the survey reveals that consumers are seeking food that is "real."

Sixth-grader is making a name for herself as singer
Close your eyes, and the voice echoing from the speakers about longing and pain could easily belong to a wise and weary 30-year-old who's finally found an outlet in song.
But there, center stage, barefoot, long dark hair blowing in the breeze, is Almira Fawn Southworth, 11. The bass she's playing extends easily a foot above her head.
"I don't know how I do it. I guess those kinds of feelings are universal," said the singer/songwriter of her ability to convincingly pull off a heartbreak song when she just recently developed her first crush.
"We basically sit across the room from each other as far as possible and don't talk to each other because we both know we like each other," said the Lexington girl who goes by "Almira Fawn" explaining how her pre-teen love life is working out.
In between recent sets at Lexington's Regatta Seafood, featuring songs by Sheryl Crow and KT Tunstall, she is quickly distracted by feeding the ducks.
Still, the sixth-grader has big plans. She has for several years been a fixture at the Lexington Farmers Market, where she said a good day of tips could yield $200. But she is now branching out as the featured entertainment at local watering holes, playing three or four nights a week at adult venues around town.
She recently signed with an agent and will appear July 10-12 at Louisville's Forecastle Festival where the headliners are the likes of Widespread Panic and the Black Crowes.
She's also booking her summer tour, her third. She and her family are waiting to hear whether Almira will be a part of next season's America's Got Talent. She auditioned in Miami but has yet to hear back.
"In five years," she said, "I just want to be traveling around the country, playing my music, writing songs."
"It's better to write your own stuff," she said, adding that she hopes the songs she is writing today will survive through a next generation. When old songs — you know, like from the '80s — still stand, you know they are good, she said.
And, according to her plans, she hopes to accomplish this and more all before she's old enough for a driver's license.
Her first summer tour was a few years ago when she and her father, Don, loaded up the car and took his daughter to audition at clubs in beach towns. Club owners would usually let her perform, he said. This year's tour will be more organized.
"We are just kind of learning as we go," said Don Southworth, who is a truck driver by day and chief roadie by night. His wife, Umi Southworth, is an accountant. "Two years ago, I didn't know that songs were in a key."
Don Southworth said it's hard to know the right thing to do when you have a child who obviously has a great gift. You want to push, but not too hard. It can become overwhelming, all-consuming. But he and his wife try to strike a balance. Playing at bars several nights a week might not be an ideal environment for an 11-year-old, he said. But he and his daughter have talked about it, he said, and he doesn't think she will be affected negatively.
"She's such a goody-goody," he said, it's not in her nature to rebel or act out.
Although Almira is talking about how she will be home schooled next year to allow more time for making music since weeknight gigs can sometimes run until 10 p.m., her dad said the discussion is ongoing.
"I do everything I can to try and keep her grounded," he said. School, where she gets straight A's despite her frequent absences, is part of that. Soccer and hanging out with her little sister, Aleah, 9, is also a good outlet.
And at home she has an array of animals, including a bat named "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." She's happy to share her snake wrangling skills with anyone who will listen.
The origins of Almira's musical mastery are a mystery, Don Southworth said. The family signed her up for guitar lessons when she was 6 as a way of pushing her out of "the shy box," as she calls it.
So painfully shy was the young Almira that her teachers complained that she wouldn't respond in class. The guitar quickly became her voice, and she soon branched out to other instruments, including the bass, mandolin, harmonica and, for one song, an interesting twist on a Slinky.
She's made an impression on Becky Weatherford of Lexington, who has seen her twice. "I love her," said Weatherford, who used her cell phone to capture snaps of Almira on stage at Regatta. "I play the guitar myself. She makes me want to pick it up again."
Although she frequently performs solo and makes attempts to banter with the crowd, Almira swears she's still as shy as ever.
But somehow, she said, she fights the butterflies she feels before each performance and finds a way to make music.

I grew up 90 miles north of Memphis in the bootheel of southeast Missouri, an area along the Mississippi River that would have been Arkansas but for a rich landowner's influence on Congress. For college I ventured 150 miles south to the University of Mississippi, where I majored in history and edited the student newspaper. After two years in the Army I took a reporting job at Hodding Carter's Delta Democrat-Times in Greenville, Miss. – in the heart of the region historian James Cobb called "the most Southern place on earth."
The DD-T in the 1960s and '70s was an honest, aggressive small daily in a state whose press was, with few exceptions, timidly selective in news coverage and subservient to the segregationist status quo. For a young reporter, Mississippi offered challenging stories about race, politics and poverty plus an endless array of spectacles, from the classic bootlegger-Baptist collaboration in Neshoba County to the National Tobacco Spitting Contest to state legislators' rollicking debate over whether to repeal the ban on teaching Darwin's theory of evolution in the schools.
I love Mississippi. Many of my best friends are there. Alas, its few good newspapers were too small to provide a career for an ambitious writer whose family didn't own one, so after a few years I began wondering what was next. The answer was a Nieman Fellowship, which gave a few mid-career journalists a year of independent study at Harvard. There I met Marylyn Lentine, who was working with a historian. On one of our early dates, she asked why I came to Harvard. To see if I'm as smart as the Ivy Leaguers, I replied. And, she asked? I am, I replied. She laughed and in time married me anyway.
After Harvard I worked briefly for the Ford Foundation, interviewing people who ran state prisons. It was interesting and well-paying work, but I didn't like being on the bottom rung of a tall organizational ladder, so I contacted Reese Cleghorn, a friend who edited The Observer's editorial pages, and asked how to get into opinion writing. Come to Charlotte, he said. I did.
To me, Charlotte was delightful. It was the New South – brash, energetic and thriving, eager for the future, vastly different from Mississippi, which was struggling with its past. But the year I arrived Jesse Helms entered the U.S. Senate, a reminder that North Carolina was not free of the reactionary forces that hobbled Mississippi.
The title of this book was inspired by W.J. Cash's assertion in The Mind of the South that our region has been paralyzed by its hostility to dissent. The attitude emerged to deter criticism of slavery, then expanded to discourage challenges to even the worst elements of the Southern Way of Life. I believe hostility to dissent has been one of the most destructive burdens of Southern history. Throughout my career I worked to liberate my region from it.
The newspaper life also enabled me to follow my interests wherever they led, from religion to sports, from foreign policy to family, from photographing Eudora Welty to facing off with William Faulkner's watchcow. As you'll see, I had a lot of fun along the way.

Though nutritional yeast doesn't sound very delicious, Chowhounds think it adds welcome flavor to a variety of dishes. Use it anywhere you want to add cheeselike flavor, says lolabrw, who sprinkles it on cooked vegetables, pasta, and casseroles. It gives a "[hint] of savoriness" to gravies and sauces, jennymoon says. And a couple of hounds call it their very favorite popcorn topping.

Franching Through the Snow
January 23, 2015
In central Texas where Matt and I grew up, there might be one snow a year that covers the grass. School is canceled and kids tie random outdoor equipment to the back of pickups to sled around on the ice/snow mix. People there don't know about LL Bean, but everyone has a Carhartt jacket and coveralls, … More Franching Through the Snow

From Wikipedia
The setting is a steampunk Victorian era England. A time traveller on a reconnaissance mission from the distant future became stranded in England of the late 1800s, and his technology came into the hands of the Royal Society led by Baron Fortesque (based upon Charles Babbage), a grand inventor. Fortesque then retro engineered many of the futuristic contraptions, creating an entirely different, alternate timeline.
The Chaos Engine is a top-down run and gun computer game developed by the Bitmap Brothers and published by Renegade Software in 1993. It was first released for the Commodore Amiga, with an enhanced version available for AGA Amigas, and later ported to MS-DOS, and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Atari ST, Amiga CD32, RISC OS and Sega Mega Drive platforms. USA releases of SNES and Sega versions were retitled Soldiers of Fortune, and the character The Preacher had his clerical collar removed and was renamed The Scientist. A sequel to the game, The Chaos Engine 2, was released in 1996.
From the back of the box:
Sometime during the last century, an experimenter with time, space and early computers created a bizarre machine.
The inventor was Baron Fortesque. The machine was...
The Chaos Engine
Although primitive, the machine became incredibly powerful and went crazy, turning ordinary humans and household pets into razor toothed, armour-plated killing machines.
Enter six hard nailed mercenaries for hire. The Thug, Preacher, Mercenary, Gentleman, Navvie and Brigand. These ball breakers are armed to the teeth with over 25 weapons and a host of special, destructive devices peculiar to their class. Select two characters to form your party and enter the World of Chaos. The sprawling adventure covers four graphics [sic] worlds and 16 levels loaded with fiendish traps, puzzles and secret passages. Get your hands on sawn-off shotguns, molotov cocktails and a huge amount of armament and buy, blag or blast your way through hordes of different monsters to do battle with the ultimate killing machine, THE CHAOS ENGINE!

It's bowl time!!!
What is it about grain bowls that just makes me so happy? I think it's that you just take all the amazing ingredients that you can think of and throw them together and say Voila! Grain bowl!
I'm really excited about these bowls in particular for three reasons:
- Roasted kale.
- Cilantro tahini dressing.
- Black rice!!
Uh huh. That's what's goin down.
Black rice is one of my favorite grains to cook with. I love how moody and dark it is – so fun. It's also seriously delicious and has this awesome earthy flavor, and it's got lots of iron in it – something I as a vegetarian could always use a little more of.
But, not all black rice is made the same. No, some just aren't that great. After trying a few different brands that I wasn't a huge fan of, I finally stumbled upon the Village Harvest brand and fell in love! And now it's seriously the only black rice that I'll ever buy.
So, when I saw this awesome opportunity to use their black rice in one of my recipes, I couldn't resist! Just look how pretty the little grains are!
Village Harvest, it turns out, doesn't just make amazing rice. They're also a pretty cool company! They import their black rice from small villages all over the world, and they donate 1% of their profits to build schools, educate young students, and buy clothing for kids in the communities where they farm. They also practice sustainable farming practices, which is really important in today's day and age.
So what did I do with this treasured black rice?? Well, I made a grain bowl, obvs!
And it's not just any grain bowl. It has so many amazing things in it, including roasted kale (my favorite!), white beans, snap peas, and green onions. And the BEST part (aside from the black rice, of course) is that it's topped with my cilantro tahini dressing that I just can't get enough of.
It's so good!
Bowls like these are perfect for busy weeknight dinners because they only take about 35 minutes to prepare, and that includes cooking the rice! They're also filling and really satisfying because of all the different stuff going on.
If you are eating this as you full meal, you'll get 2 pretty large servings out of it (if you eat as much as AJ and I do). If you're eating is with something else (some sort of protein) or as a lunch, you'll probably get 3 servings. If you're feeding a family, feel free to double it – it doesn't add any time and means you'll get leftovers!
I really recommend checking out the Village Harvest rice products. You can see if a store near you carries their products by using their product locator. And if you can't find any near you, you can always order it online!
Black Rice Bowls with Kale & White Beans
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 30 mins
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 2-3 servings
- 1 cup uncooked Village Harvest black rice
- 6 oz chopped kale (about enough to fill a 9×13″ pan)
- 1/2 tsp coriander
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 can white beans
- 1 1/2 cups chopped snap peas
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- cilantro tahini dressing
- freshly cracked black pepper
- Preheat your oven to 400ºF.
- Cook the rice according to package instructions.
- While the rice cooks, mix the spices and salt together in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the kale. Drizzle the olive oil over the kale, then use your hands to massage it in so that the kale is evenly coated. Bake for 15 minutes, tossing once, until just starting to crisp on the edges.
- Drain and rinse the white beans, then pile everything together in large bowls and serve with the cilantro tahini dressing, topped with some freshly cracked black pepper. Enjoy!

Laika's Wonderful World of Stop-Motion Animation
In only seven short years, Laika Animation Studios has produced a number of engaging stop-motion animation features, created with a stunning use of stop-motion animation in a creative use of the format, not to mention tackling themes and concepts not seen in your average Disney film.
Starting this weekend, Brooklyn-based cinematheque Metrograph will play host to each of Laika's four films to date, in their series From Coraline To Kubo: The Magic of Laika, moving in reverse chronological order with one film being shown in 3D per weekend. I decided to recap all of Laika's features to date, as they all in their own right worth seeing on the big screen with an audience.
Coraline (2009)
As far as debut features go, Coraline clearly set the bar high for Laika's later features to follow, in addition to showcasing just what they hope to provide – films designed to appeal to the young at heart while also not abstaining from perilous storylines. Overseen by director Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas), it follows 11 year-old Coraline (voice of Dakota Fanning), who discovers an alternate reality in her new home where opposite versions of her parents and neighbors exist. While she is taken care of with great affection by these parallel beings, the fact that everyone in this parallel world has buttons sewn onto their faces where their eyes should be seems eerie at first, but she learns to accept it. When the offer to stay is bestowed onto Coraline by her Other Mother (voice of Teri Hatcher), she is apprehensive, and with good reason, as the dark truths which govern this domain soon come to light with consequences for Coraline's real friends and family. A wonderful, creative and certainly chilling film, Coraline is a fantastic big-screen adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel, and it's tremendous to see none of the source material's atmosphere lost in translation.
ParaNorman (2012)
Continuing the supernatural theme into their next feature, ParaNorman is a film that has quickly become a new Halloween classic, albeit one which is just as great to watch at any time of the year. It revolves around a young boy, Norman (voice of Kodi Smit-McPhee) who has the ability to speak to the deceased, despite the fact that nobody believes him. When his uncle (voice of John Goodman) informs him that his gifts are vital to protecting his town of Blithe Hollow from a witch's curse that has reared its ugly head after many centuries, leading to an uprising of the dead, Norman convinces his friends to stand alongside him and save the day. Taking its tropes from many classic zombie films, ParaNorman is a great way to get younger children interested in horror, as it manages to be at once scary and clever, especially in terms of its utilization of humor. The directing team of Sam Fell and Chris Butler craft an engaging story about being an outsider in a place where the status-quo is above all else, and it includes a great anti-bullying message to boot.
The Boxtrolls (2014)
Heavily inspired by the steampunk subgenre, The Boxtrolls is an adaptation of Alan Snow's novel Here Be Monsters! Set in a Victorian-era city, it concerns a species of sewer-dwelling creatures known as Boxtrolls, who kidnap a young boy named Eggs (voice of Isaac Hempstead Wright), later raising him as one of their own. When several Boxtrolls begin to disappear and a plot to eliminate them once and for all is revealed, Eggs must rise above ground to save his adopted family from the likes of an evil exterminator (voiced by Ben Kingsley). Another solid entry from Laika, this film from directors Graham Annable and Anthony Stacchi succeeds by injecting a superb amount of visual detail and eccentric humor, making for an overly satisfying piece of entertainment for young kids and adults. The world-building at hand is more detailed than the animation company's previous efforts, highlighted by the amount of craftsmanship within the animation and the story as well.
Kubo and the Two Strings (2016)
Laika president and lead animator Travis Knight makes his directorial debut, with this story of an orphan with magical powers (voice of Art Parkinson) sought after by mystical beings in late Edo-era Japan. The boy, Kubo, teams up with Monkey (voice of Charlize Theron), the spirit of a prized charm given to him by his mother, and Beetle (voice of Matthew McConaughey), a warrior seeking to find his master, on a quest to save his village from the evil forces of the Moon King (Ralph Fiennes), and the Sisters (voice of Rooney Mara). Taking inspiration from Japanese folklore, Kubo and the Two Strings is a visual feast, with stop motion animation that exceeds Laika's past efforts, at some points being so detailed it's hard to believe it's not CGI. Beautiful in its design and especially its story about the power of family, it's a shame that Kubo didn't make a bigger impact when it was released earlier this summer. Thankfully, the fact it has been brought back to cinemas means that more audiences have the chance to experience this wonderful film.
From Coraline To Kubo: The Magic of Laika begins at Metrograph on December 3rd and runs until December 26th.

When you think VBS, most of us think of summer. But when you are a smaller church plant, like my family is a part of, the summer months are often a challenge to organize a large ministry effort, especially a Vacation Bible School.
But perhaps there would be a better time during the year to hold a VBS? We know that VBS is a great opportunity to reach unconnected families and it is one of the largest evangelistic ministries that the Lord has blessed the Church with. We know that during Spring Break there are lots of families in our community that do not travel, do not go on vacation, and most parents need something for their kids to do while they are working during the day since school is not in session. And so when a small team from our church met to discuss ministry opportunities during Spring Break, the idea of doing VBS was born! Turns out, we aren't the only ones that have had this idea! Check out this recent post on our blog that highlighted another church in our community who also held a Spring Break VBS!
Being a church plant though, we would have different challenges than FBC Gallatin. Obviously, location was going to be a challenge. The local YMCA (where we meet each weekend) would still be open for business and could not accommodate us during the day, so that option was out. The type of facility we desired needed to have plenty of indoor space for small groups, but also ample space for recreation. We needed access to restrooms, tables, chairs, etc. And we needed our facility to be in a location that is easy to get to and is well known to the community, in order for families to be comfortable letting their kids be a part. Our wish list seemed impossible to meet.
But what about all of those school buildings that are sitting empty during Spring Break? Would it be possible to find one that fit all of these criteria? By the Lord's grace, our pastor was blessed to be able to reach out to a specific principal in our district who agreed to let us use part of their facility, including the cafeteria and the gym. Not only was the space ideal, but the location of the school was within 1-2 miles of over 3500 families! We were pumped! The biggest piece of the puzzle had been solved.
Over the next couple of weeks on the blog, I'll share more about our experience with our Spring Break VBS. We saw over 40 kids (which represented over 20 different unreached families) take part. We couldn't be more excited! More to come, so stay tuned!

I presented a short talk about my thesis project to my Service Design class and looked at the three dimensions of service design according to Gupta and Vajic in "Contextual and Dialectical Nature of Experiences." The service experience is created by designing three phenomenon: the use environment, the customer participation and the social interaction.
For a self-service design experience, I assumed that social interaction wouldn't be important, but my professor, Miso Kim, said that for her, as a college student, going to the women's room was a more social experience. In a meeting today with my thesis advisor, Suguru Ishizaki, he suggested that a social dimension could be important to this project, perhaps as data is collected and shared by users in a website or online forum.

Welcome to MemorialOrientation 2008
By Pamela Gill
New students are encouraged to become part of Memorial's biggest, most high-energy event of the year. Fall Orientation 2008 is a two-day event designed to allow students to become familiar with their surroundings, interact with new friends and, most importantly, have fun.
Orientation is a program designed by Student Affairs and Services for any student attending their first year at Memorial. Student Affairs has several Fall Orientation programs designed to meet the needs of students.
New Student Orientation on Memorial's St. John's campus takes place Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 2-3.
Students register for Orientation as they would for a course: go to the student web, log in, click the registration menu, when it asks for a CRN (Course Reference Number) type in 49524.
They will then get a card in the mail telling them all about Orientation. Students can also check out the online version in PDF form.
At Orientation, students get paired into groups of about 25. Each group will have one to two group leaders. As a group they go all over campus, participate in "MUNble Jumble," attend a faculty fair, learn about on-campus involvement activities, learn how to manage money, see some entertaining skits and much more.
Parent Orientation
Each September, Student Affairs and Services hosts a day-long event designed to inform parents and guardians about life at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
While students are busy moving in and getting ready for an exciting school year, parents can take the opportunity to meet and listen to the president of the university, the dean of Student Affairs and Services and a host of other academic and student services professionals. Topics include dealing with finances, social supports on campus, academic tidbits and recognizing and embracing your own personal adjustment at this time of transition.
The Orientation committee warmly welcomes parents and their students into the fold, and aim to provide the information that will help them make the most of Memorial.
Parent Orientation will take place on Sept. 1–2. Parents can choose to attend either day—as both sessions are the same. Look for more information in your mailbox regarding Parent Orientation in August.

Be a Part from the Start at Grenfell College
Students arriving on the doorstep of a new university often feel intimidated or overwhelmed by the transitions they face. At Grenfell College, Student Services and the Grenfell College Student Union staff are aiming to make that change easier.
Be a Part from the Start, this year's orientation program, will begin Tuesday, Sept. 2, and run through the month of September.
"Orientation is focused on welcoming all new students to the Grenfell community – everyone from mature and transfer students to those fresh out of high school," says Nyasha Musandu, Orientation marketing co-ordinator, adding that Orientation 2008 includes everything from information sessions (Grenfell 101), campus tours, free swims, free ice skating, a sexual health night, a dance party, barbecues, dodge ball, a boat tour and a trip to Gros Morne.
"Being involved in Orientation allows students to familiarize themselves with their new surroundings, learn interesting things about university life, make new friends, and most importantly, have some fun," she said.
There are also sessions for parents and non-traditional students. Parent Orientation will be held on two occasions: Monday, Sept. 1, at 1 p.m., and Tuesday, Sept. 2, at 6:30 p.m. in LC301 of the Library and Computing Building. These sessions are designed to make parents an equal part of the transition to university. Parents will learn about campus life, services available at Grenfell College and the emotional challenges that may arise during this new experience.
The Non-Traditional Student Orientation is equally important. Non-traditional students are those who fall into one of the following categories: 24 years or older, a single parent, had an interrupted education, is married, is without a high school diploma, has dependents, works full-time, is financially independent, or is a part-time student.
"The session allows non-traditional students to learn about university life and meet other students who are in similar situations," says Ms. Musandu, noting that Non-Traditional Student Orientation takes place on Thursday, Aug. 28, at 1:30 p.m. in LC301 of the Library and Computing Building. "They will be offered detailed information on Grenfell, campus tours and a glimpse of what university life will entail."
A limited number of orientation kits, filled with information and items that will ease students" transition to university, are available for purchase by calling 709-637-6232 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more information, contact Beverley Hunt, orientation co-ordinator, Student Affairs, at 709- 637-6232 or email@example.com, or Kieran Smith, orientation co-ordinator, Grenfell College Student Union, at 637-6230 or email@example.com.

Grad orientation puts students on the right path
By Jeff Green
Grad students are getting their own custom-made roadmap next month to help steer their way through higher learning.
Memorial University's Graduate Student Orientation is set for Saturday, Sept. 6, on the St. John's campus, giving those making the transition from undergrad courses to graduate work a chance to learn more about the services geared towards them.
It's the first time a pan-university orientation session has been created for graduate students.
A fair – featuring a series of displays and information booths – will be set up on the main floor atrium of the Inco Innovation Centre. Units such as the School of Graduate Studies, Distance Education and Learning Technologies, Instructional Development Office, Graduate Student's Union, the Writing Centre, and Student Health Services will be on-hand to provide information about the services and support they offer.
Meanwhile, students will hear from Acting President Dr. Eddy Campbell and Dr. Lilly Walker, dean of Student Affairs and Services. Dr. Noreen Golfman, dean of Graduate Studies, will provide a keynote address. There will also be two roundtable discussions focusing on the roles and responsibilities of supervisors and advisors/graduate officers, and the balance between work and life for graduate students.
Breakfast will be served to participants in the morning and refreshments throughout the day. The first 50 graduate student registrants on Sept. 6 will receive a free 1 GB memory stick.
"The Graduate Student Orientation promises to facilitate the transition of incoming graduate students by increasing their awareness of the nature of graduate studies," said Andrew Kim, graduate enrolment manager with the School of Graduate Studies. "It will help them develop an understanding of their role in the university as well as services made available to them."
The orientation is being organized by the School of Graduate Studies, Student Affairs and Services, and the Instructional Development Office.
The Sept. 6 event is open to all new and returning graduate students.

Hey guys - It's time for a top 3 :-)
I was curious about everyone's recipe to avoid being sore the day after a few big matches or very intense training. Can be to prevent any type of 'soreness'... lactic acid, knots in muscles, tendons or ligaments inflammation, etc...
Personally here are mine:
-8 hours of sleep
-Sufficient carbs and protein intake
-Proper hydration
-A little supplement of BCAA's after the exercice, just because I can ;)
What about you guys?

Hey Kyle,
Besides cramp, what kind of injury are you experiencing?
Proteins are a good sustained solution to recover. They are still very useful even 24+ hours after the effort. Any chance you ever tried BCAA's (valine, leucine) or AA's (glutamine) to give you recovery an instant edge?
Californians is such a different world! (Just to be sure I creeped your profile to confirm you're from CA :-D.) Coco water seems to be so popular over there. Here on the east coast I'm pretty sure most athletes just drink the 'rades or vit's water.
Sleep is key for most pro's, except Tiger Woods, haha, have you ever saw this chart (blue bars, mid height)?
34 grams Solgar brand whey protein isolate (I like the chocolate flavor), with 5 grams additional L Glutamine mixed in 8oz of milk with a bit of chocolate syrup. Take as soon after match or workout as possible. Fix you right up!
Man, that looks tasty... Thanks for sharing your recipe. If you like glutamine, you may like BCAA's (valine, leucine and isoleucine). I personally like the positive effect of L-glutamine on the immune system but bcaa's personally make me recover faster.
Whey protein contains branched chain amino acids. I learned about adding addiitonal L-Glutamine from a local high level coach. It is an amino acid found in whey protein. Adding additional L-Glutamine promotes absorbtion of protein in to muscle cells faster than whey protein alone, which, in turn, promotes recovery.
1 pill of hydrocodone / acetaminophen 500MG
1 pill of naproxen 500MG
1 pill of cyclobenzaprine 5MG
this has been my regiment since 12/30/12
Sad to hear that V, how long will you be on that stuff?
since 12/30/12 car accident.
That sux coach. I hope the adverse driver had plenty of liability insurance, and that you have a lawyer who specializes in personal injury. You should be compensated for your car, medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering.
yeah no kidding. they already screwed me with the car
They should pay Black Book value. You don't have to accept what they offer. Do you have an attorney?
black book value??? or Blue
The Black Book is what car dealers use. It's more reliable than the consumer oriented Blue Book.

Date of birth: 22nd February 2007
If Mikki is the soul of 'Las Vicarias', Chinni is the heart.
Chinni arrived in the footwell of a car, she had pneumonia and Antonio didn't think she would pull through. We gave her antibiotics, a warm bed and crossed our fingers. Fat sheep Carmen looked after her, and slowly she recovered and walked with the other youngsters. Her aim in life was to lead the herd, but sadly, every time she fought her way to the head of the herd she was struck down with another illness. The herd contracted an eye disease but got over it quickly, but not Chinni. We were on top of a hill and I realised Chinni was blind. I put my hand on her neck and guided her down the steep slope to home. She trusted me and kept her head on my leg all the way. After a long recuperation, she regained her sight and came back out fighting fit again. October 2011, I thought it was the end. Having given birth to 3kids she collapsed and was close to death. With Peter and I in floods of tears, Chinni decided it was a bad day to die and slowly got up and walked to the mineral lick. To date she is in recovery. Our plan for her future is not allowing her to get pregnant again and to keep her dried up of milk, which may keep the mastitis at bay. She has achieved her ambition and is now the true head of the herd. She works with me, leading the goats and waiting for my instructions. Every night as I walk the girls back from the campo she waits for the words 'take them home Chinni' and she sets the pace, calmly walking back to Las Vicarias.
