The health authorities have banned electronic cigarettes and descriptions such as "light" and "mild" on cigarette packs sold here, to combat the misperception that such products are less harmful than "normal" cigarettes.
Thus, I wonder why shisha smoking, which is even more harmful than cigarette smoking, is not banned here ("Shisha smoking crackdown in Kg Glam"; last Friday).
Apart from the health risk, the sight of shisha smokers puffing away in cafes damages Singapore's reputation as an anti-smoking country and sends the wrong signal to youngsters.
The National Environment Agency was right to impose sanctions on the shisha cafes that repeatedly flouted outdoor smoking licensing rules.
Countries like Malaysia, Turkey and Kazakhstan have imposed various restrictions on shisha smoking, and other nations like Vietnam are considering banning it.
Singapore, despite being proactive in designating no-smoking zones islandwide, imposing age restrictions on cigarette sales and having punitive measures such as heavy taxes on cigarettes, has failed to curb the rise in shisha smoking, particularly among the young.
We should not allow youngsters to form the impression that shisha smoking is fashionable and earns the respect of their peers.

Shot at big-boy money lures juniors to NFL again
Updated 11:44 pm, Sunday, January 27, 2013
It's another bull market for juniors who have declared early for the NFL draft.
With 73 underclassmen leaving college early to enter the draft, it is the third straight year that a record number of players have been approved to go pro. It will have a dramatic effect not only in strengthening what would have been a lackluster draft but also altering the landscape of college football for the 2013 season.
Top players like Luke Joeckel and Damontre Moore should collect million-dollar contracts as projected top first-round selections after standout college careers at Texas A&M.
"It's like anything else," veteran analyst Frank Coyle of draftinsiders.com said. "It's all about the money.

"And when they get that kind of money, the NFL looks at it as 'what can those kids do for me?' the first weekend of their rookie season. There's no redshirt season in the NFL. The money is so astronomical, they have to be ready to play from the first day."
Some mock drafts have Joeckel and Moore going with the first two picks in the draft. Two players from the same school have gone 1-2 only three times in NFL draft history. The last time it happened was in 2000 with Penn State's Courtney Brown and LaVar Arrington.
But other players, such as Oklahoma linebacker Tom Wort of New Braunfels, could be taking a calculated risk by leaving school a year early when there's no assurance they'll be picked.
And that's the rub. With more players declaring early, there's a greater chance for many to be left out. In last year's early entrant class, 25 players were not selected. Analysts expect that number to soar this year.
The NFL's collective bargaining agreement that was instituted in 2011 has helped explain why so many more players are willing to declare early.
In 2010, the No. 1 overall pick, OU quarterback Sam Bradford, received a six-year, $76 million contract with $50 million guaranteed from the St. Louis Rams. But a year later, the Carolina Panthers paid the No. 1 overall pick, quarterback Cam Newton of Auburn, $22 million over four years (all guaranteed) with a fifth-year option.
But beyond the first-round pay, the labor agreement has changed the way contracts for players selected in the rest of the draft can be renegotiated. Since 2011, draft picks aren't able to renegotiate their rookie deals until they've completed three seasons in the league.
And with rookie compensation capped during that three-year period, those draftees know that their chance for a monster contract won't come until that second contract.
"You used to see young men thinking they could hit a football power ball in the draft," NFL draft analyst Mike Detillier said. "Now, that has been severely hampered because of the tightness of the rookie pay scale.
"There's not much benefit or difference between being say a fourth-round pick and a fifth-round pick. So those kids typically decide to start their careers and hope to hit the big numbers with their second contract."
In other words, a standout junior player doesn't have as much to gain as before by opting to return to school for a senior season.
Six All-American players have declared early for the draft, including Joeckel, safety Matt Elam of Florida, tight end Zach Ertz of Stanford, defensive end Bjoern Werner of Florida State, linebacker Jarvis Jones of Georgia and cornerback Dee Milliner of Alabama.
Only Elam isn't projected as a high first-round pick, but all six are expected to go in the opening round on April 25.
No program has ever lost more early entries in one season than LSU, which had a record 11 declare for this year's draft. But Tigers coach Les Miles told Louisiana reporters that such departures are merely the cost of attracting highly skilled recruits.
"I like the fact that we send guys to the NFL early and recruit guys with the potential to go to the NFL early," he said. "I want every guy that I recruit to have the opportunity to play a long, extended career in the NFL. I'd like to develop them."
National champion Alabama lost three productive players when Milliner and tackle D.J. Fluker, a pair of All-SEC picks, and BCS title game MVP Eddie Lacy opted to turn pro.
Alabama's losses could have been much worse, and it's probably not a stretch to think that coach Nick Saban was relieved after learning quarterback AJ McCarron and linebacker C.J. Mosley — his best and most important players on each side of the ball — will be returning next season.
"I appreciate what they've done for the University of Alabama, but we also acknowledge the fact that from a business standpoint, these guys are making good decisions about their future and what they can do," Saban told Alabama reporters last week about his players leaving for the draft.
One reason why the LSU and Alabama coaches aren't too disappointed is because of the cyclical nature of recruiting. The schools are familiar with the need to restock their rosters from deep talent pools when players leave early.
Besides, churning out pros provides immediate cache with the next group of recruits.
"All of those recruits watch the draft and see where those players come from," Detillier said. "It's the greatest free advertisement for schools they can have.
"They hate to lose those players, but it's a great advertisement for them as they try to attract the next great players in the future."

Opeth. Nothing more to say.
It's hardly just my opinion, it's the opinion of the majority of metalheads because they know the difference between good and bad music.Originally Posted by DrFeelGood
People like you are always amusing, because you get offended because someone tells you your favorite band sucks. But I'm not trolling, I'm just stating the facts.
Honestly, care less about what people say, and get over it when people tell you they suck.
Yet, there you go again. You're using self-opinions. They aren't facts. I'd suggest googling the definition of "Fact".Originally Posted by Raptorg
It's a nice attempt at being witty.Originally Posted by DrFeelGood
But since you don't have metalheads friends, you don't know the situation in the metalhead communities.
I do, however, and a lot of people hate them, which is a fact.
Most people who like them barely even listen to metal, and thus cannot be considered metalheads.
Inflames, Black Label Society(kinda, genre is disputable as well),Dethklok,Dream Theater, Equilibrium, Hypocrisy, Pain, Sybreed......
List goes on and on...
I generally enjoy more of a melodic kinda feel to the music I listen to, yet I love great guitar riffs and double kick.

Oh and when I have really crazy day I like to listen to Behemoth too (anyone know them? Cool band from Poland) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wotaEqL2mzI (I was on their concert one time :3)
The term "metalhead" got ruined when everything somehow got a label and when a group of people decided it was a good idea to have personal tastes fit into certain categories.
Just enjoy what you enjoy and if you dont, respect what others like without calling them metalheads or not. It's music. Whether you watch anime, listen to some emo band or listen to most guttural, dark music ever made, it's a matter of personal taste.
Most "metalheads" dont listen to Jazz or Blues therefore they don't respect their roots. They think being hardcore means bashing on Cannibal Corpse or some other band for not being hard enough. Grow up, gentlemen. Be civil.
Also, people should stop listening to music to create some sort of image for themselves. A lot of people stopped listening to music just for fun and enjoyment a long time ago, sadly.
I used to love Limp Bizkit and I still listen to them every now and then. For some reason I enjoy their "Results May Vary" era even though Wes was not with them and Fred is really not the best singer, but I feel the album had a better flow. I'm very much looking forward to "Gold Cobra".Originally Posted by The_Flying_Dog
Im not a huge fan of calling certain bands metalcore, and hardcore, or death metal. Its all music to me.

Well, I were starting mostly like others - Iron Maiden, Metallica... Classics
But I need to add few more to my very favourite list:
Katatonia - wonder why none posted it yet :O
Arch Enemy - Female growling? Hell Yeah! ;D
Alestorm - As someone before me said: Metal + pirates = win
Amon Amarth - as same person said: metal + vikings = even more win ;D
Illidiance - I've discovered them by an accident on myspace, and I love 'em since then!
Killswitch Engage
Korpiklaani - folk metal in it's best <3
Rhapsody / Rhapsody Of Fire - my favourite power metal band, it's just awesome.
Behemoth - I am polish, so they are - I'm proud!
But I'm not listening only to the metal, I'm total music addict, I'm listening to ANY music, if only it's GOOD music, so ya can heard in my room very different genres... Mostly from rock / metal family, but also much of reggae (not only roots, but also dub, raggamuffin, dancehall, sometimes even dubstep), some rap & hip-hop, some r'n'b, but also some club music (mostly trance, sometimes some electro / house)...
But yeah, metal is what I love most, I also got long hair (not only because of music prefferences, but I'm sure I look better this way xP)
PS: sorry for my english ^^"
30 Seconds to Mars

Yes I have long hair. Honestly I wore my hair long before I even knew what metal was. :P
I'm not really sure they're even metal at this point. Dance of December Souls and the like are awesome though.Katatonia - wonder why none posted it yet :O
I stopped listening to that song purely of the lyrics :/.Originally Posted by Xheoul
#1: Insomnium. Melo Death as it shoild be!
#2: Everything else. No seriously.
I always listen music in phases. I had a Dagoba-phase while I played Lost Odyssey an Suikoden Tierkreis DS alot. So everytim I hear it, it brings back memories. Usually after I get a new album or are going to a concert of that band in a few days/weeks.
I'm not in a phase currently but apart from most melo death I listen to some death, grind, black, doom, ambient and lots moar. Just check: www.last.fm/user/Yggdrassil.
As a side note, Ummonijg kicks ass, I got 5-6 albums and none of em are bad, they all got a very distinctive sound, awesome atmosphere and very memorable imo.
I find the lyrics fun...of course VERY repetitive but easy to sing along to when you're out drinking with your buddies which is what Korpiklaani is awesome for.Originally Posted by Insomnium
Wow, a doom fan, people like you are rare outside of metal forums.Originally Posted by DesolatedMaggot
I personally love Warning, Shape of Despair(Gothic, I know ) and Nortt most.
Though I do like me some Ahab, Skepticism, Cult of Luna(They're kind of sludgy) and Forgotten Tomb, too.
If you haven't heard one of those, you should, though they're all pretty well known, so I doubt you don't know them.
Have some Tech Death from France, gentlemen.

Sleeping Around, the Traveling Pop-Up Hotel
Architecture & Interiors
Shipping containers have become a modern, sustainable design concept, and "pop-up" retailers are all the rage. Combine them, and what do you get? Sleeping Around, a unique pop-up, shipping container hotel. Here, the term "pop-up" goes beyond the notion of merely making an unexpected appearance. It denotes exclusivity, flexibility and innovation: a unique experience with a strong element of surprise. Already successful in the retail sector, the concept has never been extensively applied to hotels. Until now.
The Sleeping Around project has transformed shipping containers into readymade, compact, yet luxurious hotel rooms that come equipped with all the conveniences one expects from a modern hotel room—box-spring bed, rain shower, iPod docking station, air conditioning—and does it within the confines of 20 square feet.
An ideal mix of adventure and comfort, the first Sleeping Around pop-up is currently in Antwerp, Belgium, but will move to another destination determined by online voting. And a private commission will allow a Sleeping Around airdrop anywhere you want. Now that would be a surprise Valentine's Day getaway!

Why is the yellow paper so important to Tom?
- print Print
- list Cite
I assume that you are asking about the story "Contents of the Dead Man's Pocket" and so I have moved this question to that group. Please be sure to tell what story you are asking about when you ask questions...
There are two related reasons why Tom values the yellow paper so much. First, he has worked for a long time on the stuff that is written on that yellow paper. So it represents a lot of effort on his part and he would not want to lose it. Second, it is (he thinks) his chance to get a better position in his company and to get richer. He believes that the information he has gathered on that sheet will allow him to convince his bosses about a new way of displaying goods. This will make him a big shot in his company. Here is a quote that shows these things:
On four long Saturday afternoons he had stood in supermarkets counting the people who passed certain displays, and the results were scribbled on that yellow sheet. From stacks of trade publications, gone over page by page in snatched half-hours at work and during evenings at home, he had copied facts, quotations, and figures onto that sheet. And he had carried it with him to the Public Library on Fifth Avenue, where he'd spent a dozen lunch hours and early evenings adding more. All were needed to support and lend authority to his idea for a new grocery-store display method; without them his idea was a mere opinion.

Mr. Food leaves legacy of simple recipes
Published 10:56 am, Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Arthur Ginsburg, or "Mr. Food," died at his home in Weston, Fla. last week after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 81. Ginsburg's early life was spent in a butcher shop with his father. Marriage and children followed and so did a career change. Planning a bar mitzvah for his son, Ginsburg decided to be the caterer. That decision launched his catering career.
Rave reviews of his simple, yet delicious food catapulted him in to a very successful catering business. Coupled with his gregarious personality and his love of food, he began to do food segments on morning TV in upstate New York during the 1970s.
The 90-second cooking lessons became so popular, they were syndicated and distributed nationally. You probably have seen him wearing his signature white chef's hat, flashing his smile and spreading his positive attitude through the airwaves, making viewers believe they could accomplish his uncomplicated recipes. He was not afraid to use a mix, and easier was better when it came to a recipe. At the end of each episode, he closed his lesson with his trademark, "Ooh, it's so good!" Ginsburg wrote 52 cookbooks, many of which are available at bookstores and online.
Fans still can receive a daily dose of Mr. Food's easy recipes and time-saving tips at www.mrfood.com. It is unfortunate Ginsburg did not get to enjoy one more Thanksgiving, a day when food and family are the focus. I know he was part of my family's Thanksgiving as I used one of his quick and delicious appetizer recipes. Thank you Mr. Ginsburg, because "Ooh it was so good!" Below is the recipe along with several other recipes from Mr. Food.
Apricot Pecan Brie Tarts
- 1 (8-ounce) Brie round, chilled
- 1 (17.25-ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed*
- 1/3 cup apricot preserves
- 24 pecan halves, toasted
Preheat oven to 425. Slice rind from cheese, then cut cheese into 24 cubes; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each pastry sheet to a 10x15 rectangle; cut each sheet into 12 equal squares. Fit squares into miniature 1 3/4-inch muffin pans, extending corners slightly above cup rims.
Bake 10-12 minutes, or until golden. Remove from oven and gently press the handle of a wooden spoon into center of each pastry, forming tart shells. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon preserves into each shell; top with a cheese cube and a pecan half. Bake 5 to 7 minutes, or until cheese melts; serve immediately. **I used Athens Mini Fillo Shells found in the frozen section to eliminate the rolling and cutting of the puff pastry.
Million Dollar Potatoes
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup cornflake crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pounds Idaho Russet potatoes, cut into wedges
Preheat oven to 400. Place melted butter in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, combine remaining ingredients except potatoes; mix well. Dip potato wedges in melted butter, then in crumb mixture, turning to coat completely; place on rimmed baking sheets in a single layer and pour any remaining melted butter on top. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Black Forest Coffee
- 2 cups hot brewed coffee
- 1/4 cup chocolate-flavored syrup
- 2 Tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- Whipped cream for garnish
- Maraschino cherries for garnish
- Chocolate-flavored syrup for garnish
Divide the coffee, chocolate syrup, cherry juice and sugar between two cups; mix well. Top each with whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate syrup. Serve immediately.
Shortcut Amish Friendship Bread

- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 (4-serving size) box instant vanilla pudding
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325. Coat two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pudding mix; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk milk, oil, eggs and vanilla. Stir the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and combine well. Evenly divide mixture into 2 prepared pans. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out dry. Let cool 15 minutes then invert and finish cooling on wire rack.
Creamy Chicken Casserole

Massage is no longer available only through luxury spas and upscale health clubs. Today, massage therapy is offered in businesses, clinics, hospitals and even airports. If you've never tried massage, learn about its possible health benefits and what to expect during a massage therapy session.
Massage is generally considered part of complementary and alternative medicine. It's increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.
Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension.
While more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, some studies have found massage may also be helpful for:
Beyond the benefits for specific conditions or diseases, some people enjoy massage because it often produces feelings of caring, comfort and connection. Despite its benefits, massage isn't meant as a replacement for regular medical care. Let your doctor know you're trying massage and be sure to follow any standard treatment plans you have.
You may merely enjoy the pampering and relaxation you feel when receiving a facial treatment, but there are a multitude of other benefits that offer you and your skin health and wellness.
Choosing the type of facial you want depends on what you're looking for and what you can afford. Some facial treatments are designed to deep-clean the skin, while others offer moisturizing benefits, and still others help to relieve stress, which often causes acne.
Healing Hands Massage & Esthetics offers a full menu of skin care treatments, massage therapy, waxing services and spray tanning. Healing Hands is pleased to now offer an online appointment system. This user friendly system will help you to choose a day, time and the service you want. We will confirm your appointment via e-mail and send you a reminder prior to your visit.

Eastern Europe Wind May Power 9 Million Homes by 2020, EWEA Says
Wind turbines in central and eastern Europe may power 9 million homes by the end of this decade if local governments take steps to encourage investments, the European Wind Energy Association said in a study.
Twelve nations in the region including Poland and Romania plan to raise installed wind power capacity to 16 gigawatts by 2020 from 6.4 gigawatts at the end of 2012, EWEA said today in an e-mailed statement. Turkey seeks to increase capacity to 20 gigawatts from 2.3 gigawatts now within the next decade.
"Wind energy in Central and Eastern Europe, including Turkey, will substantially reduce the fossil fuel dependency of the power sectors," said Christian Kjaer, head of the lobby group. "Some countries such as the Czech Republic, Hungary and Bulgaria are without stable renewable energy legislation. Investors and banks will withdraw unless governments put in place long-term renewable energy policies."
Companies such as General Electric Co. (GE) and Vestas Wind Systems A/S (VWS) are seeking to tap sales in emerging markets in Eastern European nations, which are adding generation capacity while driving down carbon emissions.
GE said today it will supply seven wind turbines worth about $30 million to Energia Verde Ventuno Srl, a Romanian private company, for a project in the southeastern Romanian county of Tulcea.

It might be better to make the group "open" rather than as it is now "closed" and by invite only. I'll work on that.

PALMYRA, Maine — Customers at five Wal-Mart locations in Maine will see major changes this summer as the retail giant upgrades the stores to match the national model and improve the shopping experience.
At the Palmyra Wal-Mart Supercenter, where work by contractors is already under way, the project requires a round-the-clock effort, according to store manager Robert Simek.
"So far, the reaction has been tremendously positive," said Simek, who took over managing the store last fall. "The company is trying to get all of its stores nationwide to look the same."
Included in the Palmyra project will be some major visual changes, such as a new color scheme that includes tan and light blue outside and yellow and green in the grocery section. The store will have wider aisles, shorter shelving and no more product displays in the walkways, Simek said.
The pet section will be moved closer to the groceries and the shoes and clothing section will be compressed. Perhaps the biggest change, said Simek, is a doubling in size of the electronics section, which will lead to more products and more brands.
"Every category in the department will be increased by 50 percent," he said, adding that the chain recently picked up televisions made by LG and is aggressively expanding its Blu-ray equipment and movie offerings.
"Blu-ray is going to get much bigger as it gets cheaper," Simek said.
Also included in the project will be new registers, lights and a completely revamped grocery section including brand new appliances.
To accomplish the changes while minimizing the impact on customers, Simek said he has hired 64 temporary employees to shuffle merchandise around the clock. Construction crews are limiting their work to when the store is closed from midnight to 6 a.m. The store has instituted a system of maps to help customers locate merchandise that has been moved.
The Palmyra Wal-Mart, which employs 215 people, opened in 1994 and later expanded to a Supercenter store that includes groceries. Located on the Newport-Palmyra town line, the store is a retail destination for numerous small towns in the area.
Wal-Mart also is renovating four other Maine stores this year, including those in Lincoln, Farmington, Auburn and Mexico. Wal-Mart operates a total of 25 stores in Maine, which includes three Sam's Clubs, employing more than 7,000 people. Each Supercenter keeps approximately 142,000 individual items on its shelves, according to Wal-Mart's website.
The Palmyra project is scheduled to be completed in August. Simek said a grand re-opening is planned for Aug. 27.

- font size decrease font size increase font size
Do you dream about buying a house, a pad or apartment? Compare buying Conveyancing Solicitors fees online. We make it easy to find your buying Property Solicitor in just one search. Move forward and own your home.
Dreams can come true! Own your home
How do you own your home? You start the process of buying a property. First you understand your affordability. You do this by using the services of an independent Mortgage Adviser / Broker. Then when you have carried out a Mortgage Market Review you can confidently understand what you can afford including any borrowings based on your earnings.
Mortgage Lenders
Mortgage Lenders have different loan criteria so the Mortgage Adviser ideally examines the whole of market to get you the best mortgage deal. This includes the size of loan possible and the rate charged for taking out the loan. Watch out for tie ins and if this property is just a stepping stone to your next then get a mortgage that is portable. Understand what your maximum loan is. Include some margin so that if you decide to change jobs you can still afford to make your monthly mortgage payments.
You are now a big step closer to owning your home.
Now the exciting part. The property search.
You have a budget and you now need to decide about location, location, location. Yep location costs so be ready to compromise on what you want in your own home in terms of size, bathrooms and no of beds. Time and time again we see on the television Homebuyers that dream about stepping onto the property ladder but get caught up in wanting the impossible in terms of location and what they want for their hard earned cash.
It pays to search and to consider
The commute to work.
Are they near to high ofsted rated schools?
Are you into sport, wheres the leisure centre?
Maybe one day you might turn your own property into a buy to let, will it rent fast, whats monthly rent could you get?
Once you have found your property then you need to compare the market price with those near by. Are you paying over the odds?
Time to negotiate.
What is a fair price for the property. Maybe the seller wants a fast conveyancing exchange and completion. Can you deliver that?
If so then you have the ideal bargaining tool. Fast completion, then a lower purchase offer maybe accepted. We know this works because cash property buyers make their money by buying well.
Once your offer has been accepted then under UK law the offer is only binding as exchange of contracts takes place. You want to find a buying Conveyancing Solicitor that can deliver a fast exchange that is realistically possible.

Greenswell Triathlon for Hope - TriathlonMini Sprint
View Member's Race Log View other race reports
Swam great, at least twice as fast as I do in training. Anticipated it taking 30 minutes. Went by really fast. Was easily in the top 50% in terms of technique. Overall rank was 120/198 (60%).
What would you do differently?:
Don't stop as much. If I bump into people, try to keep going. Swim into shore more.
Transition 1
No wetsuit to take off. Used water squirt bottle to rinse my feet off before putting on socks, which worked really well. Had to sit down to put on socks and shoes. I don't even remember taking off my cap and goggles, but I know I wanted to wait until I entered the transition area. Had my race bib pinned to my SPI belt, which worked great.
Some newbie passed me on the right, which was disconcerting (and illegal). Called out when cars were approaching or I was passing, but most people didn't see to do that. Overall rank was 147/198 (74%). Freezing half a bottle of Gatorade works well. Went through nearly two bottles. Took a few miles before I felt like my breathing recovered from the swim.
What would you do differently?:
Need more leg strength for hills and speed. Need to get cadence sensor fixed (and figure out how to see it on Garmin).
Transition 2
Love my Yankz! Made putting on running shoe pretty fast. Not ready to ride with feet on shoes and jump off moving bike. That sounds super scary. Racked bike easily though. Also stopped for a drink. Complimented on my pink bandana. :)
What would you do differently?:
Was a light rain, but kept my sunglasses on. Ended up tossing them to Mom when I saw her. Maybe I should have taken them off in transition. Although if the sun had come back out, I would have been glad to have them.
Didn't expect it to be uphill. Had side stitch for first half and walked a lot. Tried to squeeze it and take deep breaths, but my breathing was pretty shallow and hard. Based on the amount I walked and my overall pace, I must have run pretty fast. Summary: I was fast, but felt awful?
What would you do differently?:
Figure out if I can cycle through the Garmin screens to get pace info. What's the deal with side stitch?
Post race
Warm down:
Post race swim. Didn't do much stretching. Ate half a chicken sandwich and most of a banana.
What limited your ability to perform faster:
Need to do more speed-related training. Otherwise, did pretty good for my first time and way better than I expected (particularly on the swim). Would be faster if I could swim non-stop.
Event comments:
Nothing much to compare it to, since it was my first time. But overall fun. Very inspiring to see all those fit women participating in something so few people do.
Women-only event. On Sunday, they do a bigger event. Planning for that next year. Should do some training runs on that trail to be better prepared for next year.

Newspaper article The Christian Science Monitor
Libraries and Bookstores Take a Stand against Censorship
Article excerpt
In his novel "Fahrenheit 451," Ray Bradbury describes a society in which books are outlawed. "Firemen" destroy them - hence the title, the temperature at which paper burns.
We may be a long way from such a society, but the American Library Association (ALA) and several groups of booksellers, publishers, and authors are spending this week highlighting the importance of being able to choose one's reading.
From Sept. 23 to Sept. 30, they are sponsoring the 19th Banned Books Week. "The American public has to be aware that their First Amendment rights are fragile," says Judith Krug, director of the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom.
Each year, the ALA publishes a list of books that have been challenged in schools and libraries around the United States. For every challenge they record, they estimate five go unnoted. Between 1990 and 1999, a total of 5,718 challenges were identified by the Office for Intellectual Freedom. Topping the list is Alvin Schwartz's "Scary Stories" series. Other frequently challenged books include "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain and "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger.
Ms. Krug says only a small fraction of these books are actually banned. …

Former San Fernando Councilman Mario Hernandez, who resigned his post after his affair with Councilwoman Maribel de la Torre turned acrimonious last month, asked the district attorney's office Monday to drop charges of battery and vandalism against his ex-lover. Prosecutors, however, say they will continue to pursue the case.
It is the latest turn in a tempestuous relationship first revealed by Hernandez in November when he announced at a City Council meeting that he and De la Torre were having an affair. He made the announcement while his wife was sitting in the front row of the audience at the council meeting. Since then, Hernandez and De la Torre — along with Mayor Brenda Esqueda — have become the target of a recall effort.
Hernandez called police about De la Torre's alleged violence in a June 28 incident; each then labeled the other the aggressor and got competing restraining orders.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office said that whether De la Torre continues to face charges will be a decision for prosecutors based on evidence. Spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said the office will pursue a case of domestic violence in which a victim stops cooperating if there is evidence to prove an assault.

Cleo, Ebony
Seven years, Eleven months old
Clydesdale, Clydesdale/Hackney
New York, USA
i, my name is Shannon and these are my horses Cleo (on the left), and Ebony (on the right). Cleo is a seven-year-old purebred Clydesdale and Ebony is her eleven month old baby, she is a Clydesdale and Hackney mix. My dad and I rescued them from a farm in Canada. They were in bad condition. My dad and I spent weeks cleaning the mats from their fur to make them beautiful animals again and are still working on them. As soon as we got them home we worked on them day and night and we now have Cleo as a riding horse and soon hope to get Ebony behaving as good as her mother. Cleo and Ebony have been trying so hard to put up with the work we have been doing with them. They will soon meet our other horse Delight, a five year old thoroughbred at a farm we have in Port Bay New York. Ebony and Cleo are now a part of our family and we love them very much and hope they love us, too!

BTW, If I may suggest Literature, Warren Ellis's finished comic series "Transmetropolitian" is a trans-humanist political satire. One of the issues is about the far future society's "reserves" places where people live life as if they were in a certain time period and culture inside a Truman Show like building unaware of the outside world.

"Because when they come out they have no money, no clothes, no nothing, and no home to live in."

But if you read these stories, you see praise for "the good" they learned, like work ethic.

Granted I think if they decide to leave they are cut off from everyone, so there's that, but there is at least a level of transparency.Inghttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-45357271167307120912010-03-23T08:21:17.388-05:002010-03-23T08:21:17.388-05:00As I understand it, Amish culture isn't nearly...As I understand it, Amish culture isn't nearly so restrictive and abusive as, say, those FLDS Mormons living off in that West Texas compound that got raided. They're aware that they're separate from modern American culture and don't hide that such a culture exists from their kids. There's a period during an adolescent Amish kid's life called "rumspringa" where the usual youth rebellion is expected — kids will sometimes go off, dress in normal clothing, listen to rock music, even experiment with sex and drugs — and while some kids do choose to leave the fold (and are free to do so as adults), most return after going through this phase, they usually aren't treated with super-harsh discipline when they do (unlike, say, the JW's with their shunning practices).Martinhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-89654461040323060882010-03-23T07:07:03.054-05:002010-03-23T07:07:03.054-05:00Thanks for the kind comments on the length of my a...Thanks for the kind comments on the length of my articles.

Ing, I'm amazed even more that people escape from things like Amish society. Those kids are pulled out of school at early ages, and cloistered to such a degree that I reject their decision to "stay" as a free choice. But look at how society sees it as "quaint" and buys pies and furniture. It's like a tourist attraction based on child abuse.traciehhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-9138625092291951652010-03-22T22:31:13.971-05:002010-03-22T22:31:13.971-05:00I've really enjoyed the last several blog post...I've really enjoyed the last several blog posts; they're exactly why I check in on this web site every so often!

Haha, we still love you Tracie, even though you tend to write multi-volume blog posts.

I prefer it that way, though, because you have a unique spin on the issues, and a 2-paragrapher wouldn't do you justice.

That being said, good post.

I was raised Episcopal/Methodist the latter of which is in hindsight very far removed from most Christianity (and yet it still claims Bush, wtf?) with a more humanistic approach. I wasn't give the hard line many do, though there were clearly mental hurdles set up, so leaving was possible. And yet people are able to recover from direct authoritarian cults, Quiverfull, Islam, Mormonism, Scientology and others that are more threatening about apostates. How do people do it?Inghttps://email@example.com

Gola fizz
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Golas are treats of Shaved Ice served on a stick and sold from carts in the streets of India. These day's they seem to have migrated to the Food courts and are served in tiny portions that cost a bomb ostensibly because of the use of UV filtered water! The top selling flavor was always 'kala khatta' (translated as SOur black) because of the concord grapes used in the syrup. the cumin salt that the vendor sprinkled over the shaved ice kicked this treat up many unforgettable notches! This is a Boozified version that I tried out some time back with fresh concord grapes —Panfusine
Makes 2
Cumin Spice blend
- 1/2 teaspoon finely crushed black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Toasted and powdered cumin
- Kosher salt as per preference
- Combine the ingredients into a blend
Gola Fizz
- 15-20 Concord grapes
- 1-2 teaspoons raw cane sugar (adjust to taste)
- 5-10 mint leaves
- 4 ounces Lemon flavored vodka (Fluid Oz)

- 2 ounces Domaine de Canton Ginger liqueur (Fl Oz)
- Juice of 1/2 a lime plus 1/2 teaspoon of the zest
- 1 cup Sparkling water
- Cumin spice blend to taste
- Ice as required
- Combine the grapes, sugar, mint, lime juice, zest and the spice blend to taste in a cocktail shaker and muddle until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the vodka and the liqueurs along with the ice and give the mix a good shake.

As far as I know MF and Draven are the best, standing on what ppl say and pick.
As far as I know MF and Draven are the best, standing on what ppl say and pick.
As i said Graves gets my Vote to partner Thresh, so much bully and cc for Graves.
"Would you please let me join your p-p-party?
So far everyone has been saying how terrifying Thresh is. This guy is by far the worst support I have played against, every game I play against him, he does nothing. The hook is easily avoidable ~ stand behind minions (it also x10 worse than Blitz's, barely moves you in comparison), his ult box is just Veigar but with nothing to back it up, the lantern is by far the best thing this guy can offer, even then you just have to wait it out. While it was enjoyable to have him on my team playing Ashe, there are much better supports in my opinion such as Taric (IMO).
The most terrifying combo I have seen with Thresh out of all the bot ADC I have played against is MF. The chain + box with MF "cacklebullets" as previously stated is devastating, but very rarely does it happen sucessfully as he is easily avoidable. Every single one of his moves telegraphs other than his ult, and even then you know when he's going to do something, because his range is piss poor. Or am I the only one that backs away when I see an advancing champion?
Thresh is a "mind-game" champion, so he's good for preying on people who don't know better, or playing with their heads pretending you're going to get them, and so on.
Yes, if the enemy is smart, he becomes less effective, while champions like Taric just brings utility that's useful at any time.
Still, you might just have been lucky meeting bad Thresh players. He's pretty new, so people aren't completely used to him yet.
Tbh I have had more succes with him top for some reason. Could be he is not my style of suppor (or I just suck with him). Building him relatively tanky (warmog, abbysal, bullwark for example) with a nashors. Don't be super agressive, rather harass a bit and just farm farm farm and try to get a kill or assist when jungler comes. In teamfights it's all about the ridiculous CC you can bring. He must be one of the best AD protectors in the damn game.
People must learn how to click the damn lantern!
And yes, I think that he just might be in for some nerfs/bans since most of this is not really item reliant, but it's hard to say considering if you do add items into the equation I could list quite a few "bruisers" more deserving right now. I want to see some Thresh plays a few months from now by a pro who picks him up and "masters" him. It will be glorious to watch.
Light or darkness...which are you blinded by?
Exactly, and that'll probably be an insta-kill on most ADCs too ^^
Weird, I thought it just halved the effect if they hit additional walls. Guess they changed it.
Pfft, hadn't read the fine print

Prices start from £7.99. All material used can be found here.

My dad, who lived to be 94, might have been called a dandy in his younger days. We don't use the term much nowadays, and for those too young to have heard it, it describes someone overly concerned with appearance.
Today's most proximate term might be "metrosexual," although not all the connotations of the term apply to Dad. And in absolute fairness to him, I emphasize he worked hard to support his family of eight. But he still liked being dressed up.

I spend entirely too much time over on what used to be called the "Mary Kay Sucks" blog, but I'm sorry it is so addicting. Well, I read this post today and it literally describes my story to a T. Amazing how so many of these stories and real life situations are exactly what I experienced in Mary Kay and could see coming down the pike.
Here is the quote from today's post:
Maybe it's time to move some of our "I" or "me" stories into this section as all of you are aware how much data is really on this blog. I'll go back and construct my story, luckily I wasn't in it long enough to go too deeply into debt, but I did feel as though I was "conned" or coerced into this "opportunity". When I was actually recruited, the frontloading happened and I was "convinced" that that was the only way to go as I had planned on holding skin care classes etc, to "make some money". But as time went on, being a single mother, drawn away from my son and what really frustrated me more than anything was the lack of training which I was promised and I truly felt that the weekly meetings were soooooo much more about recruiting and finding "5 sharp women" to bring as a guest to our meetings. I actually made a "list" of those women and two of them were my customers. As time went on, I started thinking, why in the world would I want to "recruit" my customers!!?? That was a lightbulb moment for me, and then I was sick of the childish foolnishness which would happen at the meetings, that fakey smile my recruitor would slow out at us. The sad thing is, I really do like her and I believe that she's a good person if I could just get through that phony Mary Kay outer shell of hers. I wonder if she's really as sweet as she appears to be. So as time went on, for each meeting, internally, I hated using up all of my samples (but I was thinking I was just being greedy/selfish), but ya know what, I PAID for those samples for MY business, not to use at training sessions to put on my own face all the time. Then they (recruitor and director) kept saying you should just buy the full size products to use instead of samples, because you could write those off as demos/supplies for your business on your tax return. Of course, they also told me that whatever make up, nail polish etc, that I purchased for my own personal use could be taken as a tax deduction too because I was "demonstrating" the product. Puleez…..I really wondered about that one.
So I started searching the internet, because God Forbid if you even hinted to ANY negativity at your weekly "training (aka: recruiting") sessions. (that always used to get me too, I'm sooooo glad I NEVER brought a guest) and of course, none of my friends wanted to ever hear anything I had to say about Mary Kay. In the beginning, I was spewing Mary Kay. I even tried to warm chatter with my perfume samples. That poor girl!! I live in a small town and I'm guessing if that girl ever sees me again, she'll probably avoid me like the plague. So glad I didn't try to get her to hold a skin care class. That would have made it even worse!! Back to my internet search….I honestly don't remember what I typed in, but I went searching for groups of other women who were in Mary Kay to see how they were running their business and I came across a few groups, some HOT pink (no negativity allowed there!!!), some mildly light pink, they still had issues with any negativity, because they were trying to do things the right way, but at that time, no negativity was allowed, no true feelings were allowed, no support was given for our feelings. So I FINALLY found a place where I could vent and get it "out of my system" to know I wasn't alone. I just felt icky prior to going to the meetings, then of course, after the meetings, felt that maybe, just maybe I could do this (ahh, brainwashing at work (learned that one later too). I held the product for about one year and returned it in time to maximize my return and for some reason, I still feel "addicted" to this blog? I wonder why, I've said it sooooo many times, why can't I JUST let this go? Why are women finding this blog who left Mary Kay over 10 years ago and they're saying things to us like, I am SO glad to now know that it WASN'T ME, it was the system of Mary Kay!! It amazes me how these women have struggled with this for so many years and they're now just getting some validation to realize they truly weren't losers or quitters. They were simply following their gut instincts and knew that something just didn't smell right.
So anyway……..
I had no intention of writing my "I" story right this minute, but once it started flowing from my fingertips, I couldn't stop, so here is my story. Shortlived as it may be, but nonetheless, my story. I am so glad that I got out when I did and that I was able to find online support to help me do what was best for me and my child. I still had my full time job which was a job I loved and still love doing to this day. I believe I've learned my lesson and I have no interest in ever trying to do Mary Kay again, mainly because it has such a bad name and people avoid a "mary kay" lady around my neck of the woods, like the friggin' plague. They don't want to host parties, they don't want to hear it, because for a period of time, I know that the one who recruited me, tried to recruit (with some luck I might add) several others and as I mentioned earlier, we live in a very small town and this "recruitor" (very very short lived director I might add too - she couldn't keep up production and also got a divorce -claims it was his fault, but I REALLY have my doubts about that one too), but she could sure sell that product though!!. She alienated many of these women from the thought of even being involved with Mary Kay because she was sooooo pushy. I've talked to others and her name always came up. I wish I could rescue her more than she knows, but the last I checked, she didn't feel as though she needed to be rescued, so I'll just check back in with her from time to time. She's aware of this blog and I wonder if she's been reading all this time. Something tells me that she might, but she won't admit I'm sure. Why do I care? Why do I want to 'save' her? Crazy huh……
Could it be?

How I do love Borovan,
Oh let me count the ways!
Plain and hot is the best,
Or so everybody says.
Super spicy Borovan,
Is sure to give a kick.
And if you need to cool down,
Frozen does the trick.
Vanilla is my favourite,
Apple runs close second.
Mint is good, but Sprout,
Is a flavour to be reckoned!
Orange is just heavenly,
Cranberry is supreme.
Ghostly would, admittedly,
Probably make you scream.
Going round in circles,
Never taking it slow.
There is much beauty here,
That you shall never know.
You are racing through life,
Running mile after mile.
Missing the little things,
That make the trip worthwhile.
It's time to slow your pace,
Don't let your life go by.
Or you will reach the end,
While never knowing why.
Search to find your purpose,
In what is here and now.
Take time to do the things,
That you don't yet know how.
Then bring it to a halt,
Doing nothing at all.
And if you have to run,
Don't be afraid to fall.
Polished window,
In a gilded case.
Set carefully,
On wooden base.
Pendulum within,
First tick then tock.
This is the way,
Of grandfather clock.
A single swing,
A stroke of time.
Close your eyes,
And hear it chime.
Loud and lonely,
Midnight calls.
Haunting sounds,
Echoing halls.
The moment is come,
Your path is clear.
Steal away now,
Before dawn draws near.
See my dreams with willing eyes.
Feel my words, see through my lies.
Cry with me, share my tears.
Hold my hand and know my fears.
Laugh with me when I rejoice.
Sing with me and hear my voice.
Walk with me wherever I go.
And as you do, I hope you know.
You're everything I need come true.
Now let me be this friend to you.
I'd brushed my teeth and washed my face,
I'd changed and said good night.
Just as I climbed into my bed,
I realized something wasn't right.
I searched my bed and searched my room,
I looked just everywhere.
But no matter how hard I tried,
I could not find my teddy bear.
Mommy, mommy! I ran to her room.
What is it dear? she asked.
You have to help me find my bear,
We have to find him fast!
I'd never gone without him before,
And I didn't want to try.
Where could I have possibly left him?
I began to cry.
Let's trace our steps, mommy said,
Where did you have him last?
Perhaps in the park but I don't recall,
The day went by so fast!
We went to the park, flashlights in hand,
And searched it all around.
In a patch of wild flowers,
My teddy bear was found.
I held him tight and he hugged back,
Mommy took us home to bed.
I'll never forget you again, I promised
As I lay him next to my head.
I see one every morning,
Peeking down from above.
A little ray of sunshine,
Looking to spread the love.
There are people like that as well,
Always with a smile to share.
A kind thought or friendly word,
They give with honest care.
These people are priceless,
They simply have no match.
To have one as a friend,
Is really quite a catch.
You are such a person,
You beam with brilliant light.
I hope you know as a friend,
You are truly a delight.
I wrote a little poem,
With heart and soul and thought.
But though I try, it is in vain,
An ending cannot be wrought.
I would like to add a finish,
If I could think of it I would.
However it evades me,
This poem is not so good.
To write a poem is, simply put;
A way for feelings to be had.
And feelings merely are,
They can be neither good nor bad.
This speaks of life and meaning,
Of which the end is nigh.
To bring it to a close,
Would make the meaning die.
How I love the simple things,
These little ways of ours.
Laying by the fire,
Staring at the stars.
How much fun we have,
With these playful things we do.
Splashing by the water,
Soaking each other through.
How time seems to fly,
When we take it slow.
Singing to the flowers,
Helping them to grow.
How I love to see your thoughts,
When we're speaking through our eyes.
Sharing in the deepest joy,
Soaring through the skies.
How I love to have you,
As my dearest friend.
I'd never change a thing,
Nor wish for it to end.
I cannot help but to admire,
As I watch her branches sway,
The slender willow tree,
And how she likes to play.
She pulls no silly pranks,
Nor does she run about,
And though you listen hard,
You'll never hear her shout.
Instead she dances gracefully,
To the river's tune.
Invites the birds to sit with her,
Listens to them croon.
I think I hear a poem,
When the wind whispers by,
Trembling through her branches,
So she begins to cry.
She weeps so very softly,
The tears run down her leaves.
I wish that I could comfort her,
But I know not why she grieves.
Yet her strength is greater,
Than anyone I know,
In a heart such as hers,
Sorrow cannot grow.
A joyful calm takes over,
Forgotten is each care.
Such a peaceful countenance,
I know is truly rare.
As I lay under her branches,
I feel very small.
Amazed to think that you,
Also have this all.
Autumn! Come dance!
The stage is set for you.
Summer's done,
She's had her bow.
The audience craves something new.
Here she comes; a twirl of skirts,
In sheer and fiery hue,
A flash of red!
A glint of gold!
From hair to ballet shoe.
How elegantly she dances,
To her allegro tune.
Lively and bright,
Yet gracefully so,
To make her audience swoon.
Too soon! Too soon! Her coda arrives,
She dances it alone.
Swaying, spinning,
Then up in the air!
She flies as if wind-blown.
Comes down with a flourish,
Arms raised in a graceful sway.
Stunned silence,
Hushed awe,
She's taken their breath away.
A final curtsy, her dance is done.
The audience begins to cry.
Tears of joy,
Thunderous applause,
For her they'd surely die.
She has no use for fortune or fame,
But she steals every heart.
Leaves the stage,
Empty and bare,
For Winter to make her start.
Snowbunny creeps forward,
Through the snowy drifts.
A scent is blown past his nose,
As the wind dies then lifts.
For a moment he pauses,
His ears standing tall.
The scent seems very delicious,
Although it's very small.
Crouches down, sneaks along,
He's on the hunt today.
Little snowbunny stalks towards,
His unsuspecting prey.
There again! That lovely scent,
He mounts a fallen bough.
Slows his pace, he's very close,
It must be near by now.
Sniffs again and says to himself,
That's a smell I know!
Pounces forward onto his find,
It's a cookie in the snow.
My fancy brush! Isn't it pretty? ^_^ Thank you, Cathii!

Nicola wrote a great piece for the Oxford University Press blog:
In eighteenth and early nineteenth-century England, prisons were popular tourist sites for wealthy visitors. They were also effectively run as private businesses by the Wardens, who charged the inmates for the privilege of being incarcerated there. Indeed prisoners from the higher ranks of society, who had the means to pay for better accommodation, routinely expected to be treated better than lower class or "common" criminals. Between 1810 and 1814, William Collins Burke Jackson, the son of a wealthy East India Company merchant, had the great misfortune of being able to sample the amenities offered to young gentlemen within five different penal institutions. Here is a brief tour of three of them.

new budget to pay off debt. what do you think?
Posted by Anonymous
- 1 Replies
My dh and I recently noticed that our spending has gotten out of control. We have accumulated a hefty credit card debt. In order to pay it off, we are cutting some of the fat out of our budget. Tell me if this sounds crazy to you.
1-no going out to eat
2-only have on $30 cell phone
3-pack all lunches
4-no cable or netflix
5- my dh demanded his work pay half of our internet bill since they insist he have it for work.
I think this is a good plan and we only need to be this tight for 6 months to completely pay off our debt
my dh is also starting a 401k at work to make sure we save every month

Air-con worked a treat – after a day of walking around was nice to come back to a cool room. The room also... More

Jamaica Bay and the Rockaways
Second Annual Earth Day Rockaway Plants Knowledge And FunIMMEDIATE
Saturday, May 3, 2008
No. 42
Parks & Recreation and the Rockaway Waterfront Alliance hosted the second annual Earth Day Rockaway 2008, an event to raise awareness about what people can do to help protect the environment.
"If knowledge is a seed, Earth Day Rockaway is the water that helps the tree of green knowledge grow," said Commissioner Benepe. "As 'New York's Greenest,' Parks employees teach others about environmental awareness in a way that's fun and easy to understand. The partnership with the Rockaway Waterfront Alliance has helped us put on this exciting and educational family event for the second year and their support is essential."
Free activities included face-painting, kite-building and a chance to build a solar race car! Attendees checked out the American Museum of Natural History's mobile museum, Lego league robots, inflatable sculptures and performances by the Green Circus. WKTU provided music for all participants.

i dont know what to doVisitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Male
well just to give a little background info, i first met her while hanging out with some friends, i didnt really know her all that well or anything so i didnt talk to her or anything and now i have a crush on her. We have talked for little bits but we havent in a couple weeks. I'm not really friends with her or anything, and at times she seems like she has an interest in me and other times she really doesn't. I dont think i've ever talked to her in person. But we have a dance coming up and was planning on asking her to slow dance. So I was wondering how i should play this whole situation out?

Ask her to go to the dance with you.
She will probably be delighted to go with you.
Be brave! George
