Sorry for the Delay. I could not get the last paragraph to flow correctly.
Part 2 Chapter 15 Hallway after 1st Period"
"Hey you." Destiny stated with a smile as Matt emerged from the room with a sigh
of relief.
"Hey tardy." Matt responded with a chuckle resisting the urge to turn, shove her up
against the lockers and make his daydream a reality.
"I am not. I made it on time." Destiny defended herself shaking her head with a
broad smile.
"Yeah, by this hair you did." Matt teased lightly pulling on the loose strand that
hung on the side of her cheek before continuing. "Where were you anyway?"
"I overslept." Destiny confessed with an embarrassed blush before attempting to
change the subject with a question of her own. "So what was with you playing space
cadet in class?"
"I just had something more important on my mind than English this morning." Matt
stated shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head with a small smile praying she
would not push the issue because a crowded hallway certainly was not the place to
show her just who was so much more important than English this morning.
Unfortunately his prayer was answered as Justin and Becca approached them in the
hallway. "Hey Evans, heard you barley made it to class this morning. What were you
catching up on your beauty sleep?" Brad called with a snicker.
"Cut it out Justin or you're going to be eating this floor." Matt threatened blocking
his path and pushing him backwards hard as he advanced on Destiny.
"What are you crazy?" Justin asked regaining his footing and advancing on Matthew
only to be slammed backwards and pinned against the lockers.
"Apologize, to her right now." Matthew commanded tightly jamming his fist into
Justin's stomach hard repeatedly.
"Matthew, Matthew please let him go." Destiny pleaded coming up behind and
placing her hand on Matthew's arm before continuing. "It's not worth it."
"Hey guys you've got to see this." Whitney called out from down the hall standing on a chair fastening a poster to the wall with Darren.
"Looking from Whitney on top of the chair, to Destiny's pleading eyes, Matt finally
relented and released Justin, but not before whispering a stern warning into his ear.
"You ever bother her again and I promise, you will find out just how crazy I am."
"Whatever." Justin countered trying to save face as Whitney's crowd of onlookers
began to turn towards the other action in the hallway.
Seeing that her boyfriend was now free, Becca stated maliciously before turning and
walking away with Justin in tow. "Since Justin won't say it I will. We're sorry Density,
but all the beauty sleep in the world wouldn't help you."
Matthew started for the retreating pair only to be halted by Destiny's voice.
"Matthew don't.
"Why are you stopping me?" Matt asked turning to face her before continuing. "I'm
not going to let them treat you like that."
"Matthew it's not important." Destiny stated holding up her hand and continuing as
Matt was about to interrupt. "I don't want you getting hurt or into trouble fighting
Justin because of me."
"I can take the heat Des." Matthew stated confidently putting a hand on her
"Well I can't alright." Destiny confessed before continuing. "How do you think I'd
feel if you got thrown off the team or worse hurt because of me? Please Matthew let
me deal with them. You have too much to lose."
Finally understanding, Matt wrapped his arms around Destiny from behind effectively
halting her as she started to walk down the hallway where the crowd was still gathering
to check out the poster. Turning her to face him, Matt stated firmly before glancing
down the hall at his adversary and silently vowing revenge. "One, I can handle Justin
and any of his buddies just fine."
"But Matthew." Destiny interrupted staring up into his eyes.
"No but Matthew. I am not afraid of them Des." Matt stated confidently pulling her
against him and whispering with a chuckle into her ear. "And you Little One, when are
you going to finally get it through this pretty little head of yours' that you are so much
more important to me than basketball or anything else for that matter." As Destiny
looked up at him in surprise, Matthew eyes scanned their surroundings, before thinking
"Oh to hell with it," and slowly moved in for a kiss only to be halted at the sound of a
door closing behind him.
"Mr. Buchannon and Ms. Evans you two need to get your hands off each other now
and get yourselves over to where your classmates are and then to your next class which
begins in exactly five minutes." Mr. Cuff called sternly from behind Matthew. Nodding
their heads, the two complied and walked over to join their classmates.
"Hey Shane, what's going on?" Matt asked his cousin indicating the poster hanging on the wall.
"Bout time you two made it down here. You just about missed the news." Shane
stated looking from Matt to Destiny. The latter who was engrossed in reading the
poster with Jamie at her side.
"They are adding a costume ball to the Reinassance Fair. Jamie explained with an
excited smile.
"Return to the time of Lords and Ladies, Peasants and Kings"." Destiny read out loud
from the poster with a smile.
"That seems really cool." Shane stated with a smile his eyes fixed on Jamie.
"The four of us should definitely go." Jamie stated to her friends who nodded in
agreement as they turned and headed off to second period.
Lagging a bit behind the rest, Matthew stared after the girl he had foolishly passed
over a year before as a plan began to take shape in his mind. A plan that with the help
of a certain someone would hopefully begin to lead him toward the second chance he so
longed for.

I just tried to make a purchase and it will not allow me to use the code. Is anyone else having problems??
It has to be stuff from the Secret Store right now, which means you need to be subscribed and have taken your box this month.
Just spent $140, but now I'm stocked up on essentials and will have the birthstone collection. I'll be swapping a few from the birthstone collection. I hate to break it up, but there are some I don't really want.
I bought 4 polishes, which for me is extreme self-control. I was going to add 2 more, but had trouble with the website, so figured it was fate intervening and left it at the 4.
Same here. My first holiday beauty order and it was under $15. Compared to what I spent last year, I am at like 5%.
I'm looking for the lip trio – does anyone see it? I can't find it on the site. I'm a maven.
It's not a lip trio unfortunately… it's each of them is $22 and can be reduced to $11
Ah! That makes more sense, lol. The pic makes it look like a trio.
yup, i thought it was a trio too…
Yikes!! I bought 12 polishes! I swear its not all for myself. I have so much already but the prices were too good at $2.50 a polish and theres even $2 a polish in the black Friday section. I even have 4 polishes coming in my december box, ahhhh! Oh will power, where have you gone?
I am not a maven, but I NEEEEEEDDDD the birthstone collection. I have been waiting for it to go on sale. Hopefully it will be available to everyone at that price at some point.
Awesome price! Might have to take advantage

Awesome Experience
I've enjoyed my lessons so far. However, I would like more practice on scale warm-up's before going directly into singing. This would provide more time to work on my breathing technique. The Italian piece is wonderful!

- Unless you work in a bar or nightclub you shouldn't look like a cocktail waitress who lost their way trying to find their office. That means wearing see through shirts, and short mini-skirts are not really appropriate for a professional setting. No one wants to see your bra straps either or your bra showing through your blouse. If you are aging into your forties or fifties you are going to look like a desperate women seeking attention.(Oh yeah, and wearing a bra is mandatory for the girls).
- When the warm weather is here,it is not permission to look like you are going to the beach instead of your office. I love wearing flip flops for casual outings or around the house but I think this should be avoided in an office setting unless they are dressy type sandals. If you are going to show your toes, splash a bit of paint on them. Let's face it, not many of us have perfect looking feet, so no one wants to be treated to the sight of gnarly toes and bunions.
- I realize younger women very rarely wear nylons anymore and I don't really have a problem with that especially on a very hot day. Just look at what you are wearing, and if it involves wearing a suit, wearing nylons might perhaps give a more finished look, especially if attending a meeting outside the office. ( By the way, wearing knee highs under a long skirt is a major fashion faux paux.)
- I have a major issue with showing too much cleavage. Some men would probably insist there is no such thing as too much cleavage. In the office I think you may have difficulty being taken seriously or thought of as some type of bimbo if you are displaying the girls as a way of looking sexy. If there is a man you are interested in save it for after work because office romance is way too complicated and could derail you chances for professional advancement.
- We're not in the sixties anymore so shaving your legs and armpits should be a no brainer. I have a visceral reaction when I see hairy body parts on my women peers. Forget about "hippie chic" it's more like "hippie eek!". It also doesn't hurt to do a little plucking and shaping of the eyebrows, and applying some facial makeup to hide some of the blotches and irregular areas.
- We have a dress down day in our office now on Friday's. This has turned into dress down every day and no one seems to care about whether there is a dress code anymore. I think it is fine to wear jeans to the office as long as you are not looking like you are going out to pull weeds out of your garden or clean the garage. There are so many fashion programs on the television now that show the fashion challenged how to mix and match their clothes. It is possible to look quite nice in a pair of well fitting stylish jeans, sans muffin tops, with a cute jersey or top.
- When I go out to the stores on the weekends to do my errands I take a look in the mirror at myself just to check before I leave my house. I am not going to wear something that is soiled or covered in lint. Actually, I think athletic clothing can be quite acceptable however, women with big rear ends wearing tight stretch pants is a horror show. I have actually flown on planes in a cute (matching) jogging or athletic suit. I have discovered that comfort is important but do not want to look like I am on my way to the gym.
- It's important to dress your age. I think it is totally pathetic to see a women in her forties or fifties trying to squeeze into junior size or style clothing. Even if someone has a nice figure trying to look like a teenager or a "twenty something", just looks desperate. I won't say that older women should dress "frumpy", I just think age appropriate clothing is much more attractive.
- So now you know that I'll be taking notes and watching, just kidding. I am not as superficial as this might sound but there is no excuse for looking like you just rolled out of bed and look like a rumpled mess or a hippie prostitute looking for a date at a cocktail lounge.

Customer Reviews
- Perfect fit on my E350 Ford Van – Review by 2sleepy4u, posted on 5/4/16
Price Value QualityThis works great on my vehicle. If you install it on the top of the steering wheel it has about a 45 degree angled surface that works great with a laptop. If you install it on the bottom of the steering wheel it works like a desk with a horizontal surface which is better for an iPad, tablet, for writing or eating. It fits and stores easily in the passenger seat pocket so it's easy to reach for quick use and convenient storage.
- Great Product – Review by Richard C, posted on 4/30/16
Value Quality PriceGreat for Police, EMS & Fire ot in your own POV to do reports and EMS runs on. Holds a laptop or tablet perfectly.
- Great product! – Review by Bob H., posted on 3/24/16
Price Value QualityI am a minister, fire & police chaplain and a hospice chaplain. I visit hospice patients in their homes and in medical facilities and assisted living facilities. I am required to document each visit. Having the Steering Wheel Desk has been a blessing! It is so easy and comfortable to use in my car. My laptop is positioned at the ideal angle and height for me to type and to view the screen. Thank you for creating such a useful product!
I bought a few of these because my hubby has been wanting one since he saw another inspector with one. Well I knew that everyone who saw it would want one so I ordered 5 and needless to say they are already all gone!!! He sold them to all his co-workers for what we paid for them and they were glad to get one. And I agree with a previous review that says Bills review doesn't make sense which it doesnt because i clipboard does not work as well as these!
- great for claim adjuster – Review by iflyvfr, posted on 4/24/14
Quality Price ValueI use this thing everyday to write estimates in my car. It's very durable. I don't think the review by Bill makes sense. A clipboard would not attach to your steering wheel like this. This simple steering wheel desk is honestly the best thing ever if you need to use a laptop in your car. When traveling it's great too because it's thin and slides right into a backpack or suitcase.
This steering wheel desk is awesome. Great quality and price. I use this in my patrol car in combination with a wireless keyboard. This way I can keep my laptop stationary where I like to have it and I don't get uncomfortable having to turn to the side to type my reports. Three other officers on my squad have already purchased one too and the trend is spreading.
- Steering Wheel Desk – Review by Lynn, posted on 9/26/12
Quality Value PriceI love this desk!! It has been a life saver. I work out of my truck daily and using clipboards or other types of equipment to do my writing on was quite a hassle. I just wish I had found out about this before I wasted money on trying to make other things work before. What a great invention for those of us who work out of our vehicles as much as I do!!!
Clipboard works just as well
- Steering Wheel Desk – Review by ym, posted on 3/24/11
Quality Value PriceAs expected, convenient and durable. Exactly as showed in the website.

The trends in the e-commerce designing are changing from one year to another. And in this race, to stand first among the others, your website must have that cutting edge designing. While the design of websites depends much on the techniques that are in use, these designing trends keep changing rapidly. What's currently in the fashion becomes the trend. This also goes true for the designs of e-commerce websites.
The designs in e-commerce arena are changing fast. Every website wishes to offer its users an outstanding shopping experience online. The trend of online shopping has become a preference for many shoppers across the globe. And for the same reason, website owners want to hold the visitors for longer over their websites. Holding on to your visitors over a certain website is a thing while holding with their sheer interest over your website is another. Here, the website design is bridging the gap that plays notable role in holding users' interest over e-commerce websites.
As it has already been mentioned earlier, designs keep on changing year after year. Here is the overview of the essential website design components to remain prominent throughout 2016.
Material Design
Material design is one among the most popular designing trends that is more of a minimal design aesthetics. The designing is done with a touch of micro-interactions including subtle animations. All these elements pave the way for user-friendly browsing experience. Every single website is giving more and more attention to user-centric elements to add more to the conversions. Material designs create a sense of depth and let the user view the icons in a more specified manner. This design has a lot in common with flat design. But, the point of difference lies in depth and shadow that are the integral parts of a material design.
Card-like Layouts
Card-like layouts have been making their arrival count in the website design trends that is here to stay for longer. A lot of website owners including some social media giants have included the elements. They are playing a safe bet to offer an extended user experience to the visitors browsing over their websites. Card designs are perfect for having short pieces of texts, images as well as a few buttons. This offers a slight product information and ensures the info is delivered within seconds.
Responsiveness is the need of the hour if you are concerned with the conversions of your website. Including the responsive technique ensures that your website is easily accessible through any device. People have started to use their smartphones for everything. This means that the need for mobile compatible websites is going higher. Responsive websites do scale well over a variety of platforms. This ensures that a website will be visited by more clients as it is easy to access on the phones too. To ensure the responsiveness of the websites, there is many responsive web design testing tool that can be used.
CTA (Call To Action Buttons)
The ongoing web trends also include ghost buttons with a thin outline and CTA text within the frame. These buttons are designed having a strong contrast with the background color. This makes clients to pay it more attention. CTA (Call To Action) is also made with attractive taglines again for the same reason. So it could draw the attention of the clients. These buttons are trendy and thus, will go exceptionally well for the website in the current year. Soothing colors are a great idea to use over these buttons as it will please users' eyes. Your CTA must prompt users with words like "Buy Now", "Download Free", "Click Here", Add to Cart etc.
Rich Motion Animation
Animation makes websites engaging enough for the users. Injecting such a design speaks volume about the product that has been showcased. It enriches the shopping experience of the users over the website and makes it enjoyable and playable. Designs like icon rotation and loading bars make the website interactive for the users. It sometimes also lets your users feel that they get a realistic experience on your website. Rich motion animation thus leaves customers with a memorable experience.
Long scroll
Long scroll has already arrived in the web design trends. Yet, extensive usages of smartphones have given a push to this technique. Clicking on mobile devices may seem an issue for some. But, scrolling is habitual and users have no concern for the same. Long scrolling is a perfect take for websites that use storytelling. It takes the users throughout the site for providing an upgraded interaction. Long scrolling can be added with engaging images between to keep users' interest alive.
Hover Effects
Hover effects help users get immediate information on a certain element. Hovering the mouse over a hover image shows related content about the element and tells users about the effect of the same. Such a design is getting extremely important for e-commerce websites. They provide the essential info to the users without actually clicking on the element. Including the hover effect makes it easy for the users to know the specifications of a certain product immediately. Thereby saving their time by letting them click their required products. Because of their effectiveness, hover images have been included in the list of e-commerce design trends.
Hero images
Vision forms the strongest human sense. Thus, hero images over the websites compel users to spend a few more minutes on any website. Evolved as a compelling element, hero images have proved their efficiency in retaining the users over websites. Hero images over the scroll followed by a card-based arrangement are gaining more attention as a website design trend. It has got all the required elements that are users' interaction much more interactive.
Today pop-ups are playing a great role in engaging the users over e-commerce websites. Being a graphical display area on the websites, pop-ups' appearance and theme are generally configured by the admin. Till date pop-ups have been seen as a disruption in the users' browsing experience. But, an effective use can help gain users' attention over the same. The blend of some exceptional marketing techniques with the right timed pop-ups can help in generating the lead for business.
White Space
White space is the breathable space over a website. It gives enough room for the content and other such elements to shine perfectly well over the website. White space over the websites makes it easy for the users to navigate the website. White space is also referred to as the negative space. Website owners have the option of including any color other than white. Even though it is called white space. Such a space over an e-commerce website helps in organizing the products as well as the entire layout.
Although there are some other website design elements but only the exceptional ones are in demand. So, we have tried our best to mention only the exceptional web design elements in this post. Websites must have the elements that suit their layout. But, including any one of the aforesaid elements will take websites' design to a new level. Websites are all about getting more conversions and providing an exceptional browsing experience to the users. Inclusion of all these points will ensure that your websites suit your clients' requirements. Furthermore, provide them a refined user experience. Try including more and more of those elements that could engage your users over the websites. If the users get an outstanding experience, they are sure to visit your website again.

Discussion in 'BlackHat Lounge' started by [Elite], May 29, 2011.
Great...How about people start losing weight. That's the only way to get them out.
Yup MrSmith is on the money here - we all HAVE them, but most of us just can't see them form the... well... fat! So if you want to see your abs lose weight first and don't expect them to pop out before single digit BF % (or at least close to lower 10s).
You are completely right, but thats not always the case! I have been doing MMA for 5 years and i have played sport all my life, and i have a 6 pac which you can see without tensing, and my body fat is 15% .. quite a lot of people have huge abs which you can see in the high 10's
But people should not ignore ab exercises. Yes you need to diet and lose fat, and yes everyone has them, but if everybody in this forum was to get their body fat down to 5%, they all wouldnt have bulging abs, there stomache would be flat .. they still need to exercise them.
@ContentCreation yup that's possible, but more only like 1% of the population can actually get to this since it requires enormous amounts of strength and training for hours. Power lifters and of course MMA fighter are great example of this phenomenon.
Hell now I can even get people to lose 15-20 pounds of pure fat in a month, even gain some muscle, WITHOUT changing their diet (I'm a personal trainer/gym owner) but only 1 in a 100 can go through the training with me. Same thing as IM - hard work + patience pays off big time
Is this a serious post? Haha. It would be one thing if you said "I've wanted to get a six pack for years now and I finally found a video I can stick to. I've been doing it for a couple weeks and it's working already! I can see results!" But instead, you just found one of the thousands of ab videos on youtube and thought it was a good share.
If they're not showing, no workout can bring them out in the long run. All those training people get back to 'normal' 2 weeks after they stop so no matter how long they are doing whatever workout, the effect lasts less than a month. And to train your whole life in order to keep the 2 weeks is kind of stupid, just imagine the wasted time.
The only thing that is really useful is the cardio stuff like running and cycling. I see so many people doing it wrong, they try to make it as easy as possible and need to waste 2 hours to complete what can be done in 30 minutes. Get a 40 pound MTB with thick tyres instead of some 6 pound $2000 racing bike and go for 5 miles a day offroad. No need to pedal 50 miles on something that does not require much effort.
So if abs are invisible, stop eating as much. It's not hard at all, even after 4 pounds of low fat ham at 100kcal a normal person would still be under his energy needs. Or a pound of chocolate daily. What's more tasty than ham and sweets anyway
Those with very prominent abs that are not doing any sports simply produce more testosterone. They usually are pretty hairy and often bold or have thinning hair, it goes hand in hand.
Losing 20 pounds of fat in a month... I don't know, that's approx. 90 000 kcal. It would take 3 hours of boxing or hardcore canoeing everyday, seems pretty unachievable for the heart of a person that has that huge love handles in the first place.
I usually do 8 weeks lock down before summer.
This means high protein, low carb diet. In fact the only high carbs is during the first meal of the day. The rest of the day it is dominated by a high protein diet and lots of vegs for the vits and very little carbs.
Cardio is essential; get heart rate up to 130 BPM and get an OK sweat going for 30-45 min. Follow this for 5/7 days of the week in which the 2 days you take rest while still following the diet and cut out all the snacks such as snickers, coca cola (drink coke zero/light products if you got a sweet tooth) and whatever you may get tempted by.
Before you know it...at week 6 you can see how close you are to your goal and at week 8 you can smile and be satisfied to take off your shirt at the beach.
Make sure to keep the pump going and follow the basics.
Good luck everyone for the summer
PS. not to forget..stay within your limitations of kcal per day.
PPS. read more about increasing your BMR
@Monrox, I see what you're going at here and you do have a few very valid points, only it's not so simple.
For one you're very wrong about being able to see your abs only 2 weeks in a row, yeah 8 pack maybe but 6 pack... a lot of people can walk with a single digit BF all year long or just like ContentCreation have a very high amount of muscle mass that his abs are showing all year.
Sure old school body builders had ?bulk? and ?cut? phases, some guys who train still do and I?m not sayin? anything against it if it works for them, but you can have abs all year long.
Cardio, yeah, sure but more in a HIIT form (high intensity interval training) ? you're right about people going at it the wrong way.
Compare how a sprinter and a marathon runner are build (sure we're talking extremes here but still), sprinter has a lot more weight, muscle mass and guess what, very visible abs. Marathon runner may or may not have visible abs.
If you're doing cardio, do interval training, you won't burn more KALC DURING training but you'll burn more after that (EPOC effect and the so called ?after burn?). I see why you don't find it possible to lose up to 20pounds in a months and I didn't say it's easy (and I knew I would rise a few eyebrows here at BHW), but with the right training it can be done. It's not all about calories. The g-flux concept is very interesting also, it advises increasing your calories AND training when looking to lose BF opposed to old school eating less and working more (that will lead you to catabolism aka feeding with the protein from your own muscle making you weaker and smaller in the long run but also at the same amount of body fat).
MrSmith here has 2 great points ? more protein in diet and higher basal metabolic rate.
If you eat more calories but only protein + fat you'd actually lose a lot of fat in addition to HIIT and heavy strength training.
Interesting BHW tread
I really get a giggle at any Magic Abs programs because they are all junk and they all work. They sell you a work out or piece of gear that is designed to work your abs but as it has been pointed out here, you can work your abs 24*7 but if you have high body fat it will never show.
The trick with the products is that they say you must follow their complete program which 9 times out of 10 includes a diet program and *gasp* cardio. Unless you are genetically blessed you will never ever have 6 pack abs without doing something to focus on stripping away the fat.
Got that right.
I do heavy training but only in periods between 40-60 minutes. After that, since I'm not shooting needles or taking any medicaments, I know my body would run into a catabolic state.
I have a friend at the gym. Currently prepping for a competition. Round face, BIG belly, big arms etc. - Looked like a powerlifter about 2 months ago. I hadn't seen him for quite a while since we trained opposite hours, so I finally see him 2 months later....And I couldn't recognize him until he stood in front of me and said hello. I was baffled...His veins are starting to pop out, his belly has turned into a flat stomach with cut coming in and his legs have great seperation now. It's insane.
His diet has been all chicken breast 6x a day with vegs, the occasional bag of nuts and very little carbs.
Cardio 2x a day, 1 in the morning, 1 at night. Weight training during afternoon. He's got another 4 weeks to go, so I can only imagine that his body is going into overgear, striations coming out etc. - can't wait to see..Wish I had taken a before and after picture!
Fact is that the body will tear the fat away before the muscle mass...It's like in a cast-away, what do you lose first? Your fat. Much easier for the body to burn than the muscles, so as long as you can refill your building blocks and not go into a catabolic state you will be fine.
I'm currently 4.5 weeks into my diet. Got approx. 5 weeks to go before I'm forced to take my top off at the beach On schedule, but got a booze session (kind of a must) coming up in 1 week which, I guess, needs to be done good on with a ton of cardio the next day.
Nice share.. but the important thing to be noticed before getting it start is to lose fat.. It ain't gonna work out. More over protein in take very necessary!
thank yous sir will check it out !

Elections in the world's largest democracy are over and we have found out our new Prime Minister in Mr. Narendra Modi. After all the election hoopla and rhetoric, now comes the time of Coronation. On May 26, 2014, Modi shall be bestowed upon the tag of Prime Minister of India, and thus will begin a new era of political, economical and of course demo-graphical change; the last being evident as we get to know that, to have his presence felt in the international arena, Mr Modi has invited top world leaders for swearing-in ceremony.
As they say 'Every Cloud has a Silver lining', the best we can get out of such an exercise is the fact that after many deliberations, the Pakistani Premier Nawaz Sharif has accepted the invitation from Modi. And when we say 'after much deliberations', it has an altogether a different meaning.
The Dissenters
Mr. Sharif has been anointed as the Pakistani Premier not long ago and has been steady in his outright approach towards having healthier relations with his neighbors. Accepting the proposal from Mr. Modi can have its own ramifications. As on expected lines, there has been a much hue and cry from the hardliners. Lashkar chief Hafeez Sayeed has been amongst the most vociferous voices to opine about his reservations of the impending PM's visit to India. Mia Sharif has taken a well of stand against hardliners and has put his best foot forward to take up the invitation from Mr Modi, as in all probability, the Pakistan counterpart can well judge the later advantages; which he can derive from healthier India-Pakistan relations.
Apart from hardliner's pedigree, voices of dissent have also been raised from another establishment, which Sharif cannot ignore and which runs a 'parallel' government of sorts in the Muslim nation. Here we are rightly pointing to the Pakistani Army which has been calling the shots every now and then. It was only after much pacification from none other than the CM of the Punjab Province and brother of Nawaz Sharif, Mr Shahbaz Sharif in his meeting with the Pakistani army Chief General Raheel Sharif who made him aware of the 'positives' of such a meeting. So what could be the implications of Modi's invitation to Pakistani Prime Minister.
What Can Come out of this Meeting?
The best conclusion one can draw from such an initiative is "having a good relations with Pakistan will lead to peace and tranquility in the region, not to forget the enhanced economic activity through trade and business". Since the unfortunate beheading of Indian Army soldiers in J&K , there has been not much go-ahead with the Pakistani establishment to have a dialogue towards cordial relations with the neighboring country. People to people contact has been virtually missing and voices of hatred can be heard on both sides of the border.
Modi has taken the stance in the right direction in this regard, as by seizing an opportunity out of his own coronation; he has put the ball in opponent's court and wants a conclusive result on the Indo-Pak relations. Mr Modi is a strict advocate of economic bloom (as we can see through the prism of his 'Gujarat Model'), the same can be said about Mr Nawaz Sharif, who by now understands the importance of economic progress which can lead to opening up of other modes of communication. 'Trade and economic progress' can be a breeding ground for 'inclusive friendliness' amongst both the nations, a panacea of all ills, this ideology can be the basis for a dialogue for both the PM's. India has already given 'MFN-Most Favored Nation' status to Pakistan and the country has benefited through this route of diplomacy. India is expecting that Pakistan may bestow on her the "NDMA- Non Discriminatory Market Access' tag for opening up of its market to the emerging giant. Later on, who knows, on the bedrock of such relations and improved economic ties, the 'Most Contentious" of the issue – Kashmir can be brought to a fruitful end.
A Good Move Long Due
By inviting Sharif, Narendra Modi has played his cards quite well, as a state head; he is putting in right perspective, his wants and expectations from his neighbors, more so with Pakistan as he knows that peace and prosperity in the region can be an aftermath of a better and effective trade relations with the erstwhile neighbor. Whether Mia Sharif seizes this 'opportunity' to break the barrier of 'political deadlock' and takes a farsighted approach towards all political and regional-ills with India remains to be seen. As we get to know that after the swearing-in ceremony, Modi shall be 'personally' meeting Sharif for 30 minutes to discuss his 'Road-Map' for the religion. Sharif can seal the deal with the newly appointed Indian PM. This could end up as a 'perfect beginning' for India-Pak relations in the long run, where people and trade community can benefit through a long term vision and open-mindedness of both the premiers. Finally, the outcome of much awaited meeting needs to be seen and we can decipher the prospects thereof in the times to come. Till then let's wait and watch the much awaited outcome of Indian elections Mr. Modi's Coronation.

Why India Deserves The BMW 1 Series Sedan
BMW's new 'China only' sedan deserves a spot in the Indian lineup. Here's why.
BMW 1 Series has been discontinued in India. The company used to sell just one variant in the country. The 5-door, 118d Sport Line was powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine that produced 150PS of power and 320Nm of torque. The engine came mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, which transfered the power to the road via the rear wheels only.
Its was a direct rival to the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Volvo V40 and the Mini Cooper.

BMW 1 Series is the least expensive model in the company's portfolio, but still, it hasn't lived upto the expectations. Even after having an intuitive list of features under its belly, it turned out to be a slow-selling product for the manufacturer. Now, in a move to spur its sales, the car maker has introduced its facelift version in the country. Available only in one 118d Sport Line trim, this vehicle comes equipped with a 2.0-litre diesel engine. Earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show, this facelift version was displayed to the enthusiasts and now, it has silently made its entry into the Indian shores. As compared to its predecessor, it has slightly grown taller and longer making room for more space inside the cabin. As for the changes outside, it gets a new set of headlights and a pronounced radiator grille enhancing its overall sporty silhouette. Its side facet remains identical to its previous model, but the rear gets 'L' shaped taillights. Additionally, the rear bumper now features dual exhaust pipes. Coming to the insides, the design remains the same, but the use of updated upholstery and metallic accents brings a refreshing new look to the cabin.
The manufacturer is offering it a dual-zone automatic climate control as a standard feature. This vehicle also gets an updated iDrive infotainment system with a 6.5-inch high resolution display as standard. Apart from this, all the other features of this hatchback have been retained. This version of the 1 Series gets Sport Line styling package as standard, which redefines its class and elegance. The elements included in this pack includes high gloss black kidney grille with 8-slats, entry sills with BMW designation, tailpipes in black chrome and sport leather wrapped steering wheel. This is the hatchback packed with state-of-the-art features like an intelligent energy management system. This is a function that collaborates with automatic start/stop function, steering wheel and brake energy regeneration to ensure maximum performance and sustainable mobility. Also present in this car is the driver assistance package that comprises of camera-based functions like approach control, departure warning and person warning. This intelligent technology operates in step and applies brakes in the event of an emergency. With such hi-tech features and improved cosmetics, this series will give a tough fight against the likes of Mercedes Benz A Class and Volvo V40.
Coming to the exterior design, this latest version flaunts its refreshing looks with a new set of cosmetics. On the front facade, we can see the redesigned headlight cluster with all-LED lighting. In the center, the kidney bean shaped grille also received an updated and is garnished in high gloss black. The beauty of its front facade is elevated by the company's logo on top of the hood. Below this grille, the body colored bumper gets a new design with two air ducts and a bigger air dam. Round shaped fog lamps can be seen over the air ducts with sleek chrome strips. Additionally, the lower section of the bumper is fitted with a high-gloss black protection guard rendering a sporty appeal to the frontage. Side profile remains largely similar to the outgoing model, but there is an update with regards to its wheels. Its fenders are now fitted with 'Star-Spoke' styled alloy wheels embodying company's logo in the center. Door handles remain in body color, but the external rear view mirrors have been garnished in glossy black. They are further integrated with turn indicators along with mirror heating and memory function. Complimenting these mirrors are the window sills and B pillars, which are also done up in black. The rear section also gets some new cosmetics in the form of 'L' shaped tail lights. The tailgate and the windscreen didn't get any update, but the bumper gets a new look with dual exhaust pipes in black chrome. Its increased length and height are another factor that makes this hatchback look superior than others in its class.
Exterior Measurements:
As specified above, this hatchback has grown bigger in its size. It now has an overall length measuring 4329mm and a height standing at 1440mm. Its total width including the outside mirrors measures at 1984mm. Now, it also has a longer wheelbase of 2690mm, which indicates an improvement in its cabin space.
Ed's Take: The 1 Series has good quality interiors however it is a bit too dull and boring styling. Other competitors are much more stylish and contemporary.
Although the cabin design remains the same, the updated upholstery and metallic accents render a rejuvenating appeal to the interiors. The space inside the cabin has also gone up with better head and leg room. This eventually offers better comfort and convenience than its predecessors. There are lots of silver accents inside the cabin that helped the company obtain rich finishing inside. We can see that the central console area, door trims, and steering wheel gets chrome treatment. Additionally, there are high-gloss black design on center fascia, which adds to the elegance. There is a three spoke steering wheel, which is fully covered with premium leather upholstery and mounted with volume control and call function buttons. The instrument cluster now gets a speedometer and rev counter with red chrono scales adding an aura of sophistication to the insides. Most important fact about the cabin is its luxurious seating arrangement with sports seats. These are wide, comfortable, well cushioned and have been covered with an updated upholstery. As we can see that there are a number of storage space have also been included in the cabin, especially on dashboard, floor console and behind front seats. Along with these, there are many other utilities provided inside like cup holders, accessory power socket, interior mirror, sun visors and much more.
Interior Comfort:
The manufacturer has made some improvements to its convenience aspects ensuring luxury without compromise. The dashboard in its cockpit houses a single zone automatic climate control unit as standard. It also includes AC vents for rear cabin ensuring chilled atmosphere throughout the cabin. Its front armrest has a sliding function along with a facility to store handy things. The dashboard also has a high resolution instrument display with extended contents to provide precise information about the car and its functions. Accompanied with this is a multi-functional sports steering wheel wrapped with leather. It is integrated with a servotronic assistance along with adjustment facilities. The list of other such features include storage compartment package, start/stop button, smokers package and sports seats for driver along with front passenger. Both the front seats also have an electrical adjustment facility including memory settings for driver. Additionally, electrical adjustment function is also provided for outside mirrors, which also have mirror heating and memory function as well. Also, the presence of automatic driving lights and rain sensors boasts the convenience for the driver.
Interior Measurements:
As a result of improvement in its overall height and length, the cabin space has got better. As for the cockpit section, there is a headroom of 1018mm and a shoulder space of 1400mm. While the head and shoulder space in the rear cabin measures at 972mm and 1417mm respectively. The boot space is also huge, but individuals can increase its overall space by folding the rear bench seat in 60:40 split ratio.
Ed's Take: The acceleration produced by the 1 Series is sufficient to drive and overtake in city or the highway. The eight speed transmission means higher top speed.
This is one department where it still falls behind as compared to others. Being mated to an 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission, it can zoom towards a maximum speed of 212 Kmph. In the mean time, this hatch takes only about 8.1 seconds to clock 100 Kmph mark from a standstill.
Ed's Take: BMW has always had Efficient Dynamics, and the 1 Series isn't any different. The BMW 1 Series diesel is definitely the pick of the mill.
Currently, there is only one variant that this 1 Series hatchback comes in. It is powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine, which comprises of 4-cylinders. Integrated with this motor is a twin-power turbocharger that spurs up its overall output. Besides, the common rail fuel injection technology is another reason why it is so efficient. Having a displacement capacity of 1995cc, this mill can churn out a maximum power of 148bhp at 4000rpm that results in a maximum torque output of 320Nm in the range of 1500 to 3000rpm. The torque output is transmitted to the rear wheels with the help of an 8-speed steptronic automatic gearbox. This enables 50:50 load distribution and contributes for better comfort to the occupants.
Ed's Take: The fuel efficiency of the diesel 1 Series is good, it increases with the new eight-speed transmission and other features like ECO PRO and regenerative braking.
As against the previous model, this 2015 version is now available only in one variant with av diesel engine option. It is a 4-cylindered mill with a total displacement capacity of 1995cc. Being a bigger and powerful engine, one would expect it to deliver a low mileage, but surprisingly, it produces 23.26 Kmpl.
Ed's Take: The power produced by the 1 Series diesel is more than the petrol. The power might sound less, but for a hatchback and a eight speed transmission its more than sufficient.
This 2.0-litre oil-burner comprises of a twin-power turbocharger for enhanced power generation and optimum performance. This allows it to unleash a maximum power of 148bhp that results in a hammering torque of 320Nm.
Ed's Take: BMW has always had strong driving dynamics characteristics and the 1 Series is no different. The steering feel is also amazing.
This is one department, where BMW has never compromised with any of its models. Like other company's products, this 1 Series hatchback too comes with disc brakes fitted to all its four wheels. They are assisted by anti lock braking and cornering brake control. Additionally, brake assist function further augments the mechanism, irrespective of the conditions. A few other functions like dynamic stability control including traction control programs have also integrated for improving the stability. This hatchback also has an advanced servotronic steering assistance that uses the power generated with the help of brake energy regeneration technology. However, the response it offers is precise, which is important for handling any car. On the other hand, its suspension system is something that can take it all the jerks caused on roads enabling optimum comforts to the occupants inside.
Ed's Take: The 1 Series has multiple airbags, ESP and ABS to protect you from any crashes that happen.
Coming to the crucial safety section, this model series has a total of six airbags for front passengers that helps to reduce the risk of injury in case of an accident. The manufacturer has also loaded the safety section with features like anti lock braking system with brake assist, cornering brake control, ISOFIX child seat mounting, runflat tyres with reinforced side walls and side impact protection beams. Also there are three-point seatbelts for all seats including pyrotechnic belt tensioner along with force limiter at front. Additionally, there is an immobilizer with crash sensors that takes the vehicles security to a new height.
As a standard fitment, this 118d Sport Line version gets the 17 inch Star-Spoke alloy wheels. They are wrapped with durable, high-quality tubeless radial tyres of size 225/45 R17.
1. Redesigned cosmetics adds grace to its exteriors.
2. Improved equipments is its plus point.
3. Fuel economy is far better than others.
4. Interior space got better for more comfort.
5. Safety standards are at par with others.
1. Low ground clearance is a minus point.
2. There is no rear view camera.
3. More updates can be given to its side profile.
4. iDrive with touch controller could be given as standard.
5. Lack of navigation is a disadvantage.
BMW's new 'China only' sedan deserves a spot in the Indian lineup. Here's why.
A BMW compact sedan that looks perfect for India!
BMW has revealed its 1-series compact sedan concept at the 2015 Guanghzou Motor Show, being held in China. The German automaker's compact sedan concept will compete with the likes of Audi A3 and Mercedes CLA i.e. once it is in production.
An update for the BMW 1-series has been quietly introduced today. The new car is now available with a price tag of 29.90 lakhs (ex-showroom, Thane). We previously covered the car being showcased at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. The updated hatchback comes with new SUV-esque look and shed the awkward station wagon-esque styling that received substantial criticism before. 2015 BMW 118d is only available in a single diesel engine option.
BMW 1 Series has hit a production milestone of two-million mark and it cannot have come in a better time, as the new 1-Series is all set to launch on 28th March. The new BMW 1 Series gets an even more striking design, refreshed interior, extremely powerful and more efficient engines other and innovative features. BMW Plant Regensburg was the place the two-millionth BMW 1 Series rolled off, built just a few days after the start of production for the new version. The milestone model, BMW 120i 5-door, painted in Estoril Blue metallic and equipped with an M Sport package, will be delivered to a customer in Japan.
BMW India plans to make 2015 an impactful year for the brand with 15 new launches in the pipe-line along with increased localization to keep costs in check. The German brand has increased the count of its local parts suppliers from two to eight this year, and these include Force Motors for engine and gearbox supply, Hero Chassis for axles and Draexlmaier India for door panels and wire harnesses.

My favorite broccoli salad recipe is always the most recent one I have made. They are never the same as I always try something different each time I make it.
You either like broccoli or you don't. Some people who don't sometimes find what they really don't like is cooked broccoli.
Put it in a salad raw with some sweet dressing and other goodies and just watch them gobble it up!
The basic recipe starts with broccoli, onions, celery, sometimes some crispy bacon and a dressing.
I like to add all sorts of vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruits and cheeses, combined with a simple creamy or oil & vinegar dressing.
Here is a good one to start with...
1-2 heads broccoli
3/4 cup mayonnaise
Fry bacon until crispy, drain grease and set aside.
Cut up broccoli tops into bite-sized pieces, leaving just a little stem. Cut up enough for about 4 cups of flowerettes.
Give the leftover stem to your kitchen helper...
Mix the dressing with a whisk, fork, electric mixer or simply put the ingredients into a jar with a lid and shake.
Add chopped vegetables, seeds and olives. Crumble the cooked bacon and add it as well.
Add dressing, toss salad, cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Toss again before serving
Here are a few alternatives for dressings:
Mayonnaise- Yogurt, Sour Cream, or any creamy store bought dressing.
Vinegar- Wine, Cider or Sushi vinegar are the best. Plain white also works but may have more of a bite than the others. Small amounts of Fruit Juices can also be added for more flavour.
Sugar- You may want to add sugar to your dressing, or possibly some other sweetener.
Stevia -a natural sweetener is a good alternative. A good article on this can be found at www.quick-weightloss-solutions, a site about healthy eating.
Xylitol-is a sweetener which is called a "sugar alcohol". The main benefit of this is that it doesn't drive up insulin levels like sugar does. More info on this is here: Wikipedia.org
Other Ingredients Ideas:
1-Vegetables- Carrots, Celery, Cucumber, Mushrooms, Olives, Onions, Peas, Peppers, Radish, Shallots, Tomatoes.
2-Fruits- Apple, Avocado, Berries, Grapes, Pear, Raisins and any other dried fruit.
3-Nuts- Almonds, Walnuts, Pecans, Hazelnuts.
4-Seeds- Sunflower, Pumpkin, Poppy, Sesame.
5-Cheese- Too many to list but any kind you have will do.
Broccoli Apple Salad -A nice crunchy salad with pecans and a creamy or oil & vinegar dressing...
Broccoli Bacon Salads-Crispy smoky bacon with tasty dressings, 1 with cheese as well...
Broccoli Cauliflower Salads-Lots of goodness here, 2 different salads with great dressings and other ingredients...
Broccoli Cashew Salad-One recipe with bacon & raisins, one with sprouts & mandarin oranges...
Broccoli Cranberry Salad-Made with dried cranberries or whole berry sauce from the can, you can add a little turkey to make it a leftover turkey sandwich alternative...
Broccoli Grape Salad -Fresh grapes, almonds & bacon with a creamy mayo/mustard dressing...
Broccoli Salad with Raisins-2 versions, one with creamy dressing, one with oil & vinegar...
Broccoli Walnut Salad-One standard recipe and a "Waldorf Style" with apples, grapes and celery...

A special 'back to work' advice session will be held in Skegness early next month, it has been announced.
The Health Works event is being hosted by East Lindsey District Council and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) at the Embassy Theatre, Skegness on October 2 between 10am and 3pm.
Organisers say it will be aimed primarily at getting people with low level mental heath needs or physical ill health ready to go back to work - either in paid for roles, volunteering or setting up their own business. starting their own business.
The district council's portfolio holder for communities, Cllr Sandra Harrison, said: "There are many people who really want to get into work but for various reasons feel they cannot do so at this moment in time.
"Working with the DWP we are aiming to help people access the support they need to overcome any obstacles in returning to work which gives people a huge sense of purpose – that itself can give people a great boost.
"There should be no reason why some of these issues need to come in the way of a worthwhile career, with the right support."
Some of the activities planned for the day include a virtual gym, short walks leaving from the Theatre throughout the day, health MOTs and health checks to support those with health-related concerns.
The council's portfolio holder for economic development, Cllr Craig Leyland, said: "This event will tackle some of the issues surrounding unemployment within the district among those residents with comparatively minor health concerns. Many people want to work and just need the right help and support to enable them to achieve this goal."
David Margarson of DWP added: "This event is the first of its type in Lincolnshire and aims to point people in the right direction, whether it be help with a training need, health support or just an opportunity to gain experience in the world of work.
"For others, it may be an opportunity to see what type of work they could be suited to and the chance to speak to careers advisors, training providers and volunteering organisations."
News of the session comes after new figures revealed unemployment in Lincolnshire has fallen to its lowest level since 2008.
As well as the district council and the DWP, other organisations taking part in next month's session include Desire Change, Lincolnshire CVS, Studio 21, National Careers Service, Shaw Trust, Prince's Trust, Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Seagull Recycling.

Officials say thousands of polling stations are now holding recounts where irregularities had been reported.

9. Retro - $45
OK, we all know that flat design is "in" right now, but this theme proves that skeuomorphism can still work well on websites. It is fitting that this theme is called Retro so the case can be made for heavy usage of textures and patterns. The theme includes all the most important features such as unlimited colors, sliders, and integrated shortcodes.
10. Safarica - $40
Safarica is a colorful and creative blogging theme. It is highly customizable and comes with many layout templates to fit any situation. One of the layouts that I love is the tiled posts layout, which is set on a fixed background image so that it feels very spacious and dimensional when scrolling through.
Although there are hundreds of other well-designed and developed WordPress themes released this year, these 10 are the ones I like the most. I tried to include themes that have several different design styles and usages so that they'd be relevant to as many people as possible.
What's your favorite paid WordPress theme this year? Let us know in the comments.

LimeWire has requested a jury trial for their upcoming case against music publishers represented by the National Music Publishers Association.
NMPA will pursue $150,000 for each song that worked its way through the LimeWire P2P ecosystem, which could easily top out in the range of hundreds of millions of dollars.
"They seek to claim copyright or intellectual property rights as to works that are in the public domain and therefore not protected," said Tonia Ouellette Klausner, a lawyer for LimeWire, when speaking to BusinessWeek.
LimeWire induced copyright infringement with their P2P file sharing software, according to the ruling by U.S. judge in a lawsuit filed by 13 record labels. Warner Bros, Arista, Capitol Records and more claimed that LimeWire users were able to exchange copies of more than 3,000 of their copyrighted recordings. LimeWire is now illegal.
The ruling was made against LimeWire by U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood in Manhattan, and the lawsuit was originally filed waaaay back in 2006. She decided that LimeWire and Mark Gorton had committed copyright infringement, engaged in unfair competition and induced users to commit copyright infringement with the software.
LimeWire was also later sued by a coalition of eight music publishers. This is the trial that LimeWire is seeking a jury trial for.
LimeWire came to fame as another one of those P2P (perr-to-peer) file sharing programs based on the Gnutella network, that allowed users to download music, movies and more for free. Later they also joined up with BitTorrent. They were sued in 2006 by an RIAA umbrella group; a month later, LimeWire countersued, citing antitrust violations.
Arista, Atlantic, BMG Music, Capital, Elektra, Interscope, LaFace, Motown, Priority, Sony BMG, UMG, Virgin and Warner Brothers are the full list of companies that sued Lime Group, the makers of the LimeWire P2P software.

One in four Spaniards suffers pain in the lumbar, being the chronic problem more frequent.80% of the population will suffer this health problem at some point in their life
80% of the population will suffer low back pain at some point in their life, according to a study by the Spanish Society of Rheumatology. Eduardo González Zorzano, an expert doctor at Laboratorios Cinfa, warns of the risk involved in adopting bad postures: "Although the causes of these pains can be degenerative diseases, injuries or blows, in most cases they come from bad habits, gestures and inappropriate postures '.
As explained by González Zorzano, "back problems appear both sudden and progressive and, although they are not a serious illness, they can have serious repercussions in our daily lives." In fact, it is one of the main causes of unemployment in our country. According to the latest annual report of the National Health System, low back pain is the most frequent chronic health problem in Spain. Specifically, it affects one in four Spaniards.
Prevention to avoid chronic problems
Pregnant women, overweight people and those who routinely work loading weights are more likely to suffer from these discomforts.Prevention is the best defense against this health problem: "We could minimize the pain if we assimilated a correct posture and habits as simple as walking upright or keeping our backs leaning against the back," recalls Cinfa.
Ten recommendations to take care of the back
1. Perform exercises, walk or do gymnastics in the pool. It is also good to spend a few minutes practicing specific exercises for the lumbar. On the other hand, sports that involve over-stress should be avoided.
2. Walk with your back straight and your head elevated. In many cases, one usually walks with a hunched back, carrying the weight of the shoulders forward. Nor should we abuse the high-heeled shoes or the heavy bags, which carry the weight on a single side of our body.
3. Take care of the posture while you sleep. The best posture is to sleep on your back, placing one pillow under your knees and another under your lower back. If it is very uncomfortable, you can sleep half-way, with your knees bent and a pillow not too high. Also, the mattress should be in good condition.
4. Watch the weight. Being overweight causes more tension in the muscles of the back. In the case of pregnant women, there are specific girdles to relieve discomfort.
5. Do not neglect the posture in front of the computer. The top of the screen should be at the level of our eyes. The back should be supported on the back and feet, on the floor. An adaptable chair, a footrest or a small cushion can be very useful.
6. Bend your knees and keep your back straight for weight. When bending down, it is not good to lean your back. If this type of movement is repeated frequently, it may be advisable to use a protective girdle.
7. Flee from repetitive motions. Repeated gestures constantly overload specific areas of the musculature. If it is mandatory to perform them, it is essential to rest for stretching, changing posture or walking a little.
8. Avoid total rest. If you suffer from this type of pain, you should live a normal life, without lifting weights or making sudden movements. It is advisable to exercise moderately. Staying in bed is recommended only at the beginning, if the pain is severe. In any case, you should change your posture every two hours.
9. Apply heat. The source of the pain is usually muscular so that the thermal therapy helps to relax the area. It can be applied in twenty minute sessions, either with an electric blanket or hot water bags. Massage or ultrasound may also be convenient for relieving pain.
10. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about the use of analgesics and anti-inflammatories to relieve pain, or about the possibility of taking muscle relaxants, if the pain is severe and as long as its use does not exceed the week.

When Eudora High's football players line up against Holton today in the Class 4A state championship game — 1 p.m. kickoff at Salina Central High — they will see a team similar to their own.
Much like the Cardinals (12-1), the Wildcats (13-0) have one basic offensive objective: to steamroll their opponent with rushing play after rushing play.
EHS junior quarterback Andrew Ballock (796 passing yards, eight touchdowns) drops back to throw a bit more than his Holton counterpart, senior Jaxon Wright, but both have spent far more time handing off the football or keeping it themselves than looking for a receiving target.
While Ballock (1,215 rushing yards, 16 touchdowns) is Eudora's leading rusher, Wright has taken a back seat to Holton's 1-2 running-back punch of junior Drake Ewing and senior Cameron Karn, both of whom average more than seven yards a carry.
Eudora coach Gregg Webb, whose team has allowed just 7.7 points a game this season, said the Cardinals must eliminate Holton first downs and play exceptional defense if they want to leave Salina with the program's first state title.
"They're trying to get three yards a carry, and they just pound it at you until you finally break," Webb said of the Wildcats, who average 46.2 points a game.
The coach added: "If our defensive line is just getting pushed and mauled, then we have no chance."
Senior Cardinals linebacker Gabe Cleveland said his team knows what to expect — a never-ending bombardment of runs up the middle — from Holton.
"Our defense has been pretty good all year," Cleveland said, "but we're gonna have to play our best game. We'll just have to be tough."
Ballock, a starting safety for Eudora with 58 total tackles and eight interceptions, said facing an offense with tendencies similar to the Cardinals' (21.7 points a game) should be interesting.
"They're gonna line up and try to beat you up," Ballock said. "If we can stop their offense, which will be tough, we'll be all right."
A significant part of limiting Holton's offensive activity, Webb said, will come when EHS has the ball.
If the Cardinals find themselves punting or limited to three-and-out possessions, the coach said, they have no shot at knocking off the Wildcats. Picking up first downs, he added, will keep Holton off the field.
"If we can hold them under 60 snaps, we'll have a chance," Webb said.
Offensive production has been impossible to find for some Holton opponents this season.
The Wildcats have allowed just 10.6 points a game, and though they edged McPherson, 31-27, in the quarterfinals, they have won every other game this season by at least 22 points and held 10 opponents to 14 points or less.
Eudora has won seven straight games — all by 13 points or more — entering its second straight championship game appearance, and Cleveland said the Cardinals seem to get better by the week.
"We don't necessarily have the biggest kids ever, but we just play tough," he said.
Cleveland is Eudora's No. 2 rushing option of late, with 777 yards and 10 touchdowns this season, which included a three-game stretch in which he sat out because of a knee injury.
Senior running back Garret Elston has 922 rushing yards of his own, as well as three scores.
When the Cardinals pass the ball, seniors Nick Becker (248 receiving yards, five touchdowns), Markis Hill (226 yards, three touchdowns) and Tanner Tornedon (204 yards, two touchdowns) have been Ballock's top targets.
On defense, Eudora's Hill, Cleveland, Becker, Steven Simpson and Skyler Manley each has at least 70 total tackles. Defensive linemen Becker and Eric Rogers have combined for 11.5 sacks. Ballock, Elston, JT Howell and Mason Tomlinson all have proven reliable defenders in the secondary.
Though Eudora lost, 21-0, to Rose Hill in the 2011 championship game, Webb said his players take pride in focusing on their responsibilities on each particular play.
He said they minimize big-picture thinking and aren't worried about something that happened a year ago.

I'm dreading going home for Christmas this year. At Thanksgiving one of my family members made an ugly racist comment that really made my blood boil. I stated that the comment was racist and I was met with condescending laughter. I left the house for a while because I was so angry, and when I got back, others tried to explain to me why their racist beliefs were important, and why I should believe them too. I was so horrified I basically didn't talk to anyone for the rest of the day. Everyone I've talked to so far has told me "they don't know any better". This doesn't seem at all adequate but I don't know what else to do- the oldest generation of my family has no idea that hating people is even wrong. Where do you start with people like that?
Suggestions? Thoughts? How do you deal with racist / bigoted / sexist family at the holiday dinner table?
