Hi ThereReplyDelete
I am Mary-Jane from Perth Australia. Found you via SITS. Before I forget "Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest".
Firstly I am so jealous of anyone who can sew. I believe I still have a half finished potholder in a drawer from Year 8 Home economics. Fortunately I have a few friends who can sew and I will be directing them here for sure!

The Orange T-Mobile merger lacks key ingredients
'Everything Everywhere' is among the daftest names ever given to a UK company but the merger of Orange and T-Mobile is bearing small fruit for the mobile network's user base. They can now share cell signals as long as they sign...
ShareTwitter Facebook LinkedIn
Getting into the cell-sharing club requires users to do a number of things, starting with that sign-up process through the Orange and T-Mobile websites. I suspect this is driven more by the parent company's desire to monitor take-up than any technical need but it's simple enough.
Handsets need to be set to 'automatic network selection. (most will already opt for this by default), and to have the phone set to allow 'data roaming' in order to stop annoying roaming notifications.
On that subject, actual 3G data roaming is not part of the deal. The two networks will not allow data package integration until an unspecified point next year. Everything Everywhere has yet to explain how the currently competing packages will be dovetailed with one another because it's pretty clear that the company will no longer be able to offer competing deals and get away with it.
As to using phones interchangeably - the SIMs themselves - forget it. The two brands remain distinct. A locked Orange phone will not work with a T-Mobile SIM and vice versa.
That raises the odd situation where the UK ends up with four major networks, but one of which has two sets of users whose hardware is incompatible with one another. This is the major reason the two networks are being run by a merged parent - there is literally no easy way to merge two different physical networks in the short term.
Everything Everywhere is keen to present this as a merger that benefits ordinary users, but what's driving it in the short term is really a bit of head-office downsizing with a reported 1,200 jobs due to go out of a workforce of 16,000. Others could face re-applying for their jobs.
Isn't cell signal sharing a good thing? Probably, but in the locations where overlap occurs most frequently, cities and large towns, the benefits seem modest. Both networks already have plenty of capacity in these places.
This unorthodox merging of two networks could work well for mobile users in the long run, but it will need more than base-station piggybacking to be worth it.

- Very Excitable Mother of Two - Sydney, Australia
Diet Testimonials
I have been on the program since the end of May 2007. I had 24kg to lose. Even though the weight will fall off you if you do it properly, I would be lying if I said that I have found it easy. I have "strayed" many times and not stuck to the program completely. I have a husband who can eat what he wants and will not put on weight and I also have a very active 3 year old boy who could eat all day long! I really miss my daily coffee. I have tried to have tea with lemon but it is not the same. I have about 2-3kg to go before I start the re-feed and I cannot wait. I am "pulling my head in" and giving it 100% so I can finish it for good. Overall I would do it all over again, (but I know I won't need too)but I have not enjoyed it very much.

Amazon AWS (also referred to as Amazon internet offerings) is a valid provider furnished via Amazon Inc. This provider offers customers with numerous IT-associated resources/functionalities (e.g., database garage, pc energy, content material shipping, and many others.) Cyber criminals rent this provider of their malicious agencies. for example, they use Amazon AWS to proliferate malware, host infectious/doubtful web sites, and so forth. therefore, if you constantly encounter browser "pending" statuses that supposedly load s3.****.amazonaws.com URLs, there's hazard that your device is infected.
As noted above, cyber criminals hire this valid service to host malicious sites. The maximum popular are faux mistakes scam fashions (for instance, "Firewall Detecting Suspicious Incoming network Connections"). sites typically supply various pop-americawith fake blunders messages pointing out that the machine is corrupted. sufferers are then endorsed to touch "technical assist" via cellphone numbers or download certain updates/anti-virus suites, but, in preference to contacting certified technicians, customers will communicate with cyber criminals who try and trick them into paying for technical help that is not required. web sites encouraging customers to down load software typically proliferate malware – in preference to updating/protective the device, customers inadvertently infect it with high-risk malware. Redirects to malicious websites hosted on Amazon AWS are frequently due to probably undesirable programs (doggies). In maximum instances, doggies infiltrate systems without customers' permission. Amazon AWS is a valid provider, however, immoderate redirects to s3.****.amazonaws.com URLs suggest a computer contamination, or that you are continually visiting doubtful web sites containing links/commercials leading to this Amazon AWS web page. anyhow, you have to right now dispose of all doubtful applications and experiment the complete system with a legitimate anti-virus/anti-spyware suite.
potentially unwanted packages are recognised for randomly commencing new browser tabs/windows and inflicting unwanted redirects. these packages also deliver intrusive commercials. ads are added using gear that allow placement of third party graphical content material on any site. consequently, by means of protecting visited website content material, intrusive advertisements extensively decrease the surfing revel in. moreover, the advertisements might also redirect to malicious websites (for instance, the ones hosted the usage of the Amazon AWS service) and even run scripts that down load and deploy malware/puppies. therefore, through clicking on these commercials, users threat pc infections. most puppies are designed to collect diverse touchy statistics that typically consists of private details. After recording this data, developers promote it to 0.33 events (doubtlessly, cyber criminals) who misuse confidential information to generate sales. In doing so, criminals motive severe privacy problems. For those reasons, Uninstall all puppies at once.
The list of probably unwanted applications includes masses of examples. by presenting various "useful capabilities", puppies try and supply the influence of legitimacy. despite this, they deliver no real cost for everyday customers. these programs are designed simplest to generate revenue for the developers. instead of imparting any actual value for regular users, domestic dogs pose an instantaneous hazard in your privateness and internet surfing safety.
How did adware installation on my laptop?
In most cases, potentially unwanted packages infiltrate structures with out permission. The reasons for this are the poor information and careless conduct of many users. doubtlessly unwanted packages are proliferated the usage of a misleading marketing technique called "bundling", and intrusive commercials. "Bundling" is stealth set up of potentially undesirable packages collectively with ordinary software program/apps. builders do now not disclose those installations nicely – "bundled" apps are hidden inside various sections (e.g., "custom/advanced" settings) of the download/set up approaches. furthermore, customers frequently rush those procedures and bypass steps. similarly, they're very probably to click commercials/links without considering the possible outcomes. In doing so, they merely their systems to threat of numerous infections.
a way to keep away from installation of probably unwanted programs?
To save you gadget infiltration by pups, be very careful when browsing the net, and downloading/installing software. Intrusive ads look legitimate, however, they redirect to gambling, person dating, pornography, and different dubious web sites. if you revel in those redirects, uninstall all doubtlessly undesirable programs and browser plug-ins. cautiously examine each step of the down load/installation procedures and choose-out of all additionally-protected packages. the important thing to computer safety is warning.

Loan Cover Can Give You Peace Of Mind When Bought Correctly
Loan Cover Can Give you Peace Of Mind When Bought Correctly
We all like to protect ourselves and our families in every way we can and when it comes to financial matters this should be our utmost concern, especially when taking out a loan .
While you may have no worries now and be able to meet the monthly loan repayments comfortably while you are working, have you considered the possibility that should you come out of work for any reason, how you would carry on servicing your monthly commitments? There is an insurance specifically designed for this, it is called loan cover or loan payment protection insurance, and it will pay out a monthly sum if you find yourself out of work due to long term sickness, an accident or unforeseen unemployment.
When taken out correctly the loan cover will give you and your family the peace of mind that if the unexpected should happen - and it could in a world where the phrase a job for life no longer exists - you would at least have an income enabling you to carry on paying your loan repayments each month .
However, where you choose to take the insurance from will depend on the cost of your premium for the loan cover and also the quality of the product .
The dearest loan cover premiums you will undoubtedly be quoted for are with the high street lenders and banks .
But, shop around and go with an independent specialist provider, and you should pay less .
The difference between the two can be quite astonishing and the amount you could save could be in the thousands over the term of the loan, so it really is worthwhile shopping around for cover rather than accepting the cover offered by your loan provider.
The quality of the product can also differ and recently the high street lenders and banks have been the target of investigations into the sector by the Financial Services Authority and the Office of Fair Trading after it was found there has been wide mis-selling of payment protection .
However it is mostly the big high street names that have been found guilty of this and of course this is another excellent reason why you should go independently .
So if you want the peace of mind that loan cover can provide then shop around for your cover – it's the only way to make sure you get a quality product while getting the cheapest premiums.

Our first Thanksgiving here at Vander Well Manor in the Pella Theatre District, and the family from both sides came our way to break in the digs. It was my first time cooking the Thanksgiving turkey, but I'm happy to report it went really well. By the time the family arrived the house was filled with an amazing aroma.
Anyone who know Wendy knows m'love does hospitality right. We had appetizers and wine as the house filled with the din of family conversation. The kitchen and the dinner was well planned like the D-Day invasion. Because there were 16 of us, we had to split the crew. The elders feasted in the dining room while the five youngest (along with Uncle Scott) dined nearby in the Great Room.
Dessert was a splendid spread of goodies provided by all. The men enjoyed a little nip of single-malt downstairs at the V-Dub Pub. I had several family members who came into the studio for a little photo portrait, which was a lot of fun. Madison, who was spending Thanksgiving working on a term paper in an Asheville, North Carolina hotel room, joined us for a FaceTime visit.
Driving rain and falling temps chased everyone away far sooner than we would have preferred. I get it. They wanted to get home before the rain turned to ice and snow. So did we, really. We'll rest easier tonight knowing that everyone is resting, all snug in their beds, with visions of Christmas dancing in their heads.
After a generous dose of clean-up, Taylor, Suzanna, Wendy and I watched This is Where I Leave You which was a wonderful way to end a family holiday. We then settled in for a little Thanksgiving football and relaxation. I didn't get a Thanksgiving nap, so I think an early bedtime will have to do.
So thankful today for family, friends, loved ones, and blessings innumerable.


text: The sandwich was named after John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, an 18th-century English aristocrat. Popularized in England in 1762, folklore says that Lord Sandwich was fond of this form of food because it allowed him to continue playing cards, while eating without getting his cards greasy. Today, the sandwich can take many forms but most commonly its sliced vegetables, meat and cheese between two pieces of bread that act as a "container" or "wrapper".

I have been here in Thailand for quite some time, and I feel that I am pretty good at spotting lady boys now. I have spent a lot of time in the bar areas for many different districts of Bangkok, Koh Samui, Phuket and Hua Hin so I have aquired a lot of knowledge on the subject of girls and Ladyboys.
Ladyboys in Thailand are held in much higher regard than transexuals in most other countries. It has to be the Thai acceptance level is much higher and they have a do what you want to do attitude to life and sex in general. There are even LB's in high powered jobs including politics. Thai people are playful at heart and often love to tease LBs but not in a nasty way, just have a joke with them. One girl I know will play a game of 'spot the LB' when she takes her 10 year old daughter to school – they just think its funny. In the UK, its going to be a long wait to play spot the transexual as you basically see one once in a blue moon, and they are very easy to spot!
In Thailand, its much harder to spot a transexual, in fact a lot of the men seem very feminine to begin with, and there is also a huge amount of gay guys in Thailand – my gay friend in Koh Samui once said to me 'You know the difference between a straight and gay Thai guy?' I said 'No, what?' and he said 'About 1 bottle of Chang' meaning that its easy to change a straight guy into a gay one according to him – I have no idea myself! I prefer ladies.
Here are a few of my checklists for sniffing out who is a girl and who is a boy.
1) Voice – normally the give away for me, if I hear an odd, slightly masculine voice, then I don't take it any further other than a friendly chat. I think the voice is one of the hardest things for the transexuals to get right – have you ever tried speaking in a ladies voice?!
2) Legs – The LB's legs are not going to be the same as a girls, they are going to be skinnier. Perhaps they are well toned as well after a few years of Muay Thai Boxing! Ladies legs generally have a bit more meat on the bones. Also LBs often get ass implants as well – these can be very painful and also dangerous, some say they can cause Cancer.
3) Hands – Bigger hands can often mean that you have got a bloke on your arm rather than a girl, so when you are checking the rest of her out, make sure you pay attention to her hands.
4) Not wanting to have sex! – If she has got you as far as the bedroom and you have not spotted that she is not 100% a lady, then if she refuses to take off her clothes then be worried! If she is only offering oral sex to you, then you could be in for a surprise.
5) How does she eat? – I know I as a man eat differently to my female companions – do she wolf down a burger in a few seconds flat, or does she just eat a little and then tell you that she is full? If the later, then more than likely a lady.
If you are living in Thailand and like to go out drinking and taking girls home, then at some point, you are going to make a mistake and wind up with a lady-boy. I have been in the situation a couple of years ago, I woke up in a tiny room with what looked like a fully clothes girl lying next to me. She would not show her face to me, which immediately made me think LADYBOY! Lucky for me, I was also fully clothed, and normally when I am drunk, I can not perform if you know what I mean!
Good luck finding what you want in Thailand – its not always what it seems!

text: We have all seen the famous cuprian green smithsonites from the 79 Mine now, but I never even IMAGINED there was a piece of this magnitude ever recovered. I saw nearly the whole lot recovered in the early 1990s (George Godas and George Stevens with John Callahan, 1992), and then I saw most of subsequent finds (a few pockets over the last 20 years, only), and saw none of such size. This piece was collected and traded to Frank soon after one of those more recent finds (he recalls in about 2005), and disappeared into his collection before being shown. It was actually larger by half again counting some rough matrix attachment at the edges, but we trimmed it to enhance the periphery and remove edge contacts. It is nearly pristine now, with 3-dimensional rolling hills and rich coverage on the whole display face (and only a few very inconsequential broken or contacted spots remaining). Both Frank and I are quite sure it is the largest fine specimen, of this type, at 3.3 pounds in weight! A dramatic, imposing smithsonite specimen!

Cancer of the colon and rectum is the second most common cancer in this country. The mainstay of treatment is surgical. However not all cases are suitable for surgery or recur afterwards. These patients are offered chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy that can control the disease for a period of time. Its ability to control the disease is not always long-lasting. Once the cancer 'escapes' control by chemotherapy, there is no treatment that prolongs survival.
The department of Oncology at St. George's Hospital has developed a cancer vaccine for the use in colorectal cancer. A vaccine in this sense, is a method of stimulating the immune system to fight the disease itself. The vaccine is produced from a number of colorectal cancer cell lines that are irradiated to make them inactive or an antibody that attacks colon cancer cells or the two combined. The vaccine is given into the skin, initially every 2 weeks for 6 weeks, then monthly for up to a year.
We are looking for 45 patients to participate in this trial. The patient must have been diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer and have been treated with chemotherapy, such as 5-fluorouracil injections or similar agents, but have evidence of progression, by a rising CEA or by X-ray or CT scan. They must be relatively fit, as there are frequent visits to St. George's Hospital. Patients must not be taking any other medications that may suppress the immune system, such as steroids, and not have been treated for any other cancer.
Patients will be monitored with regular out patients visits for symptoms, CEA level and measurements of the immune response to vaccination, as well as any side effects to vaccination. A similar approach in patients with the skin cancer, malignant melanoma, and prostate cancer has shown that side effects were minimal and these were usually skin itching and rashes related to the injections and 'flu-like symptoms.' We expect the side effects of this trial to be similar but we do not know exactly what side effects we will see following injection of this colorectal cancer vaccination.
Patient Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria
If you are eligible for this trial please contact your GP and ask to be referred to

25 percent of the results were announced Saturday morning and the other 25 percent in the afternoon.
The remaining 50 percent of the votes will be announced "as soon as possible," Nfa told the media in Freetown.
Meanwhile, millions of Sierra Leoneans at home and abroad, supporting the various parties, are waiting with their hearts in their mouths to see which political party would emerge victorious in one of the most keenly contested elections in the country's history.

Iron is essential in your diet, but when meat is off the menu and you have no choice but to find your iron elsewhere, what are your options?
Iron & The Body
Iron is essential for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide around your body. It plays a role in the creation of red blood cells and contributes to your immune system. It is also used for improving your athletic performance. It's important for exercise because without enough iron your aerobic metabolism will not function as it should. This will reduce the capacity of your muscles in using oxygen for the production of energy.
Athletes are at a greater risk of iron deficiency because it is lost through sweat. High-intensity training and longer endurance training of the kind you are used to can result in 'foot strike hemolysis' which is the break down of red blood cells caused by repetitive impact.
Iron Deficiency
As an essential nutrient, you need to obtain it from food sources. If you don't consume enough iron you can develop anaemia, which impairs your body's ability to transport oxygen. Among the many things that vitally require oxygen in your body, your brain tops the list. Without enough iron, you will struggle to concentrate and your mood can be considerably affected. You will feel tired and irritable – both telltale signs that you are iron deficient.
Iron deficiency is a common issue for teenagers who exercise a lot and for women – especially when pregnant. Women who experience heavy period are at higher risk of iron deficiency anaemia.
The average daily iron intake from foods and supplements is 13.7–15.1 mg/day in children aged 2–11 years, 16.3 mg/day in children and teens aged 12–19 years, and 19.3–20.5 mg/day in men and 17.0–18.9 mg/day in women older than 19. The median dietary iron intake in pregnant women is 14.7 mg/day.
If you consume too much iron the side effects include nausea, stomach pains and constipation.
For athletes, the dietary iron recommendation is 1.3 to 1.7 higher than the normal recommendation. For vegetarians, it is 1.8 times higher than meat eaters.
One of the top food sources of iron is meat. Pork, ham, chicken, fish, beef, liver, and lamb are all iron-rich, so for vegetarians, this is a lot of iron that meat eaters take for granted.
What Are The Alternatives?
High on the iron-rich list of non-meat choices are beans, nuts, dried fruit, whole grains, dark green leafy vegs such as kale and fortified cereals.
For carnivores and vegetarians alike, iron supplements are a good solution to iron deficiency. They should be taken alongside a healthy, balanced diet. If you're concerned about your iron levels it is recommended that you visit your GP. The NHS advises that taking higher doses of over 20mg of iron can result in the aforementioned side effects. As a general rule, doses of 17mg are considered 'safe' for anyone not told otherwise by a doctor.

Rain was our guest today again, but so was the calm sea! Few drops of water is nothing in the eyes of brave sailors in the North, but the humpback whales are sure a wonder to sight! Today the fjord delivered as well, we got to see Tattoo and Fjall, our most loyal whales. While waiting for them to come back from their dives, we go to see some lion's maine jellyfish as well. It's always nice to see all kind of wildlife in our tours! Tomorrow we should have as well an easy sailing with low wind, so make sure to join us!

McEwen won green with back fractures
X-rays have confirmed that points champion Robbie McEwen spent the last two weeks of the Tour riding
PICTURE BY TIM DE WAELE With a second Tour de France points title safely pocketed, Robbie McEwen has admitted that he spent the last two weeks of the race suffering dreadfully with the effects of two fractured vertebrae. The damage was done in the final kilometre pile-up at Angers on stage six, making the Australian's subsequent stage win at Guret and victory in the points competition especially remarkable. Speaking to Cycling Australia as he confirmed that he will be participating in the road race at the Athens Olympics, McEwen explained: "I crashed within the last kilometre and landed on everything. I had skin off from head to toe and then something hit me in the back. Not sure if it was a bike or a rider but it left a couple of very nasty bruises and fractured my L1 and L2 lumbar vertebrae." McEwen went to a Dutch hospital today (Thursday) for an x-ray and cat scan which revealed the fractures, known as transverse process. "Today was the first chance I found time to go to the hospital and I have to say I was relieved to hear the diagnosis because it explains why I was in so much pain in agony for much of the Tour," he explained. "The two fractures are in the bones which are like little wings that come off your vertebrae," he said. "The scan also showed that new bone is forming so the healing process has begun." McEwen is adamant the injury will not disrupt his bid for Olympic glory. "Hey if I can ride the Pyrenees, the Alps and the Champs Elyses and win the green jersey with a broken back then one day in Athens is no problem. I can ride and after a couple of easy days this weekend I'm going to keep riding and everything should just get better and better. "The pain was bad and I was really suffering in the last days of the Tour but I didn't want to tell anyone because I didn't want my rivals to get a sniff of it," he said. "Victor Popov (physiotherapist) was able to work on everything around it to get me good enough to start each day but after one big sprint my back was stuffed again and for the last sprint in Paris I could hardly ride." McEwen says the diagnosis was not a complete surprise because Popov had told him it was the likely problem. "Victor said he was pretty sure it was fractured lumbar vertebrae," said McEwen. "We decided it was probably better not to know for sure until after the Tour because with or without treatment the injury would heal itself eventually."

So what's next?
#1 - Imperial Guard. There's still plenty of work to be done on the Glorious 7th, numerous tanks and a handful of infantry. Of all the projects, this one is the nearest to completion.
#2 - Adeptus Mechanicus. There's always more work to be done on the Ad-Mech. There's several units of Skitarii that need to be built, as well as some fun tanks using the final pair of King Russ tanks that I have, and plenty of already-built stuff that needs to be painted.
#3 - Tzeentch Renegades. There's a burgeoning 40k Chaos army lurking on the shelves and in various states of assembly. While they'd be fun to do, they are predominantly blue and yellow, which I just got done doing a whole mess of with the Alaitoc gits.
#4 - Heresy-Era World Eaters. This is essentially not even an army, just a random assortment of units that need to be painted and sold. There's some cataphract terminators, an assault squad, some jetbikes... And that's about it. Would be simple to knock out, and would let me experiment on some new white techniques (I was never very happy with my previous method).
#5 - Orks. Lastly, there's darn near an entire Ork army left over from years and years ago, built and primered. including a Stompa with some FW upgrades. The only thing the army lacks is any sort of HQ choice, which would be easy enough to rectify. Downside: Batch painting ahoy.
What do you folks want to see? Please vote on the poll, or if you have other ideas please let me know in the comments!

All of the options sound pretty good, but I think I might lean towards the guard. It is always great to see tanks and even better to see the line troopers that hold the Imperium together. No miracles just men!ReplyDelete
Next I would say World Eaters. The Horus Heresy era is pretty rad, and I would like to see your take on it. And their old white and blue scheme is great, far removed from where they end up.
Regardless, I look forward to what is to come!
Time for the Green Tide I say. Just did yellow and Blue and everyone knows that makes... Green.ReplyDelete
Wow, that was weak. :P
i say Ad-MechReplyDelete
Crusade World Eaters
Tzeentch Renegades
I have always had a soft spot for the Imperial Guard, so I would say work on them first. Duty and Honor!ReplyDelete
Heresy World Eaters! I'm doing Crusade Death Guardcat the mo and I'm really enjoying it!ReplyDelete
I'd say guard or orks! I love orks (who doesn't) but with the guard near completion, that may be the best bet if you want to stick with a project!ReplyDelete
My vote is Orks, only because I have a host of them I need to paint and would love to see how you approach it. Your Eldar gave me some great ideas for mine.ReplyDelete
Second choice would be World Eaters - similar reason; any advice on painting white well would be a nice lesson.
I still don't understand how you can put so much work into your armies and then sell them right away! Heresy! ;)ReplyDelete
My vote is for Orks!
Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Between the poll and the comments it sounds like the Guard are likely to be up next, followed closely by da Orks. Eventually they'll all get their time on the bench of course!ReplyDelete
I appreciate it!
Hey Mordian! Just wanted to let you know that I spent the last few days, when I get a few spare minutes, looking all the way back through your blog, and I'm a big fan! You've even inspired me to get started on my own blog (it'll be up and running soon enough), so thanks! Keep up the great work! And, oh yeah, I still vote orks! Always orks if there's a choice!ReplyDelete
Of course, I (belatedly) vote Guard. Although anything would, I'm sure, be a treat to see!ReplyDelete
Toll the great bell thrice! All praise to the Omnissiah!ReplyDelete
The Emperor always needs more Iggies, he gets through them so quickly...ReplyDelete
You need to face the fact that whilst the other projects might have an 'end' the IG never will have - Once they have you, you are in for the long haul.
Orcs could be fun, though.
@ChaplainRobb: Thanks very much! I find blogging really keeps me motoring on with the hobby, I look forward to reading your blog!ReplyDelete
@Colonel Scipio: Looks like guard is the #1 choice, I've already started hauling out the boxes to see what needs a lash of paint!
@Ben: The Ad-Mech are the #2 choice in the poll so there will be some of them coming up in the near future!
@Zzzzzz: Hah! Don't I know it - the 7th has been in various stages of "almost done now" for about a decade. Every time I get close, I end up buying a whole bunch more! It never ends!
Ohh I know that feeling. For me that's my marines. With rumours flying around, it looks like they're coming back to the table after a brief exile!ReplyDelete
World Eaters please :-)ReplyDelete

Are you overwhelmed by what's on offer when you walk into any of the gym supplements stores out there?
There are a lot of conflicting ideas about what ACTUALLY works, as well as there being so many products to choose from that are all similarly packaged.
Across the next few blog posts, I'll be breaking down the Top 5 supplements that you need to know about to compliment your weight training.
I'm often asked about pre-workout formulas and why you might need them as part of a regular exercise regime.
What Is Pre-Workout Formula?
Pre-workout formula is an energetic enhancer taken before training to promote energy, strength, endurance, power and focus. Regardless of brand, all pre-workout forumulas generally contain a strong does of caffeine or its derivatives.
Why Not Just Have a Coffee Before Exercise?
Pre-workout formulas also contain the additional benefits like the list of amino acids below, which:
- Arginine to enhance circulation
- Tyrosine to produce dopamine
- Carnitine which body uses to turn fat into energy
- Vitamin C to speed up recovery
- Folic acid to help your body produce and maintain new cells
How Much Pre-Workout Should You Use?
The number one most important thing to note about pre-workout formula is to watch your dosage. They are quote powerful stimulants, so as you begin using pre-workout, try using half the recommended amount - and ideally only use them in the early morning – working up to a full dose over a monthly period.

McGoofy is bringing in all-day Kindergarten to the tune of $1.5 billion dollars when he's already given us a deficit of $25 billion. With before and after school care available for parents this amounts to a day care in my view.
This moron wants to be known as the "Education Premier" but I'm sure most Ontarions have other names for him!

On AA's right sidebar it says, "Tired of undelivered big promises and big government in general."
Big government is the source of higher taxes and dimishing freedom. Shrink the beast I say.
I love the shot over the bow from Premier Stelmach and Alberta's new finance minister telling Ottawa that $21B/yr out of Alberta cannot continue.

If I remember correctly, it was in the 1993 Red Book,
and then again in the 'end child poverty by 2000', what ever decade that was.
If there is a coalition of losers to win govt,
there WILL be national daycare and EI 360, and every program Dippers ever wanted.

Road Salt Symposium
The Road Salt Symposium was started in 2001 by Fortin Consulting and Freshwater Society with the goal of bringing awareness to the road salt dilemma and to bring together public works and environmental organizations to solve this problem. The symposium brings people together to talk about winter road care, environmental impacts and best management practices. This improves communication and understanding of this complicated situation. The chronic standard for chloride is 230 mg/l which is equivalent to one teaspoon of salt in a five-gallon bucket of water.
The symposium is held in February of each year and registration can be found at freshwater.org.

Uganda now wants to implement various irrigation plans and frameworks for the fight against drought and food security in the nation. Various bills were passed in Parliament, taking into account the ultimate goal of seeing the nation in one of its significant brief setbacks, namely water shortages. Irrigation System Installation
The Ugandans are ranchers and have relied on agribusiness for their maintenance and basic vocation. They have relied to a large extent on the rainwater with which they have flooded their crops. This has been on a small scale as well as at the considerable level of farmers, where crops such as rice, candy cane or flowers are deliberately developed for export.
On many occasions the climatic and climatic conditions that lead to periods of drought and rain change. Over the last 40 year s, Uganda has certainly experienced around 8 intense droughts. Several areas in Uganda were hit by nutrient deficiencies after the ranch was bombed for predictable drought. For example, the Teso area where Katine Falls is found may have been hugely influential, such as the present. Irrigation System Water Pumps
A ton of plans was set aside for the service of Water, Environment, and Agriculture to undertake the activity of constructing a long-range design of the construction of a 25-year rig on irrigation. This is an agreement that sets the total costs of irrigation conspires all through the nation and administration of the procedure. Irrigation System Design
This is an endeavor that the Government of Uganda has considered important with the expectations of its execution. It has also calculated in the plans to apply for subsidies to help the task go beyond the plans now made. This is the started assessment of irrigation levels and needs.
Finally, it is noteworthy that the primary motivation for low water supply in Uganda is too much dependence on rainwater for horticulture. This is detrimental in view of the fact that the climate framework is inconsistent in this country, so that farmers have no water for their crops for most of the seasons. In this way, a formal irrigation framework for the entire population of Uganda will be a lifelong solution. Irrigation System Supply

The Kalb Report - Truth Be Told: Journalism in the Age of Trump
October 1, 2018 8:00 PM
Location: Ballroom
Livestream will begin 10/1 at 8:00pm ET.
From the introduction of so-called "alternative facts" to charges of "fake news," the Trump Administration has engaged in a relentless assault on the press. Journalists have responded with their own relentless coverage of an administration brimming with controversy and leaks.
How are journalists holding up under withering criticism from this administration -- criticism that has been linked to death threats and physical assaults? How are news organizations responding? Are journalists "raising the bar" in the quality of their reporting or further blurring the lines between fact, speculation and opinion?
Legendary journalist Ted Koppel, and media correspondents Brian Stelter of CNN, David Folkenflik of NPR / WBUR and Emily Rooney of WGBH Television in Boston join moderator Marvin Kalb for a conversation on the roles and responsibilities of the press in covering a White House that consistently attempts to undermine its legitimacy.
The Kalb Report series is underwritten by a grant from Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation.

"So. Why did you choose medicine?"
During the first few weeks of medical school, this question came up a lot in the context of getting to know our fellow classmates. We did icebreakers, learning one another's stories, sharing our inspirations and motivations. We heard the huge range of narratives and experiences that led us here, to the same place, about to embark on the same journey.
Despite all our differences, I noticed some common themes. One was the "bad doctor" story.
It goes something like this. I, or one of my loved ones, was involved a devastating medical situation. We were scared and confused, and the doctor was just awful; (s)he was cold; (s)he was abrupt; (s)he said all the wrong things and didn't care about us at all. It was a time when we were at our most vulnerable, and the person who had the ability to alleviate some of the anxiety made it worse. The story always ends with: I wanted to do better than that.
In just two months, my first year of medical school will be complete. Time for a status update. Are we doing better?
A few months ago, we had a class presentation that involved both a doctor and a patient. As the session went by, I found myself becoming irritated by the doctor's interactions with his patient. His presentation about the science of her illness went on a little too long, leaving less time for her to speak. He interrupted her. Worse, he cut her off when she was recounting an experience that made her emotional, interrupting to remark on the biochemistry of the mechanism.
Speaking with some classmates afterwards, I found I wasn't the only one put off by his behavior. Yes – what was with that doctor? Yes; he was out of line. We didn't need to convince one another of anything. Independently, we had the same reaction.
Great, we might think. The new generation is better. Perhaps admissions committees' shifting selection criteria, with an increased focus on empathy, are working. Perhaps curriculum changes designed to teach us communication skills and ethics in addition to science are creating more mindful physicians-in-training.
Still, I find it hard to believe that one heterogeneous group of people is simply better than another group.
Sometimes, when we are fortunate enough to have patients visit our classrooms and share their stories with us, a handful of students are more entranced by emails or text messages. Granted, these students are the exception, not the norm. And granted, they have been called out. I've seen another classmate tap one of the computer users and tell him bluntly to cut it out. Our professors have called them out too, with one recently saying, "it's very easy to be high and mighty about those 'other' doctors who aren't sensitive to patients... but if you're the person who's on your laptop while the patient is here telling us about [his or her] condition, you are that person."
Bad habits start early.
For the rest of us who don't fiddle with our laptops and phones in front of patients – who were able to recognize "bad" behavior in the doctor and in our peers – there's still the obvious point that we're not yet doctors. I realize that it's easy to focus all our attention on displaying empathy when we're not yet preoccupied with any real responsibilities. I am aware that our obligations at this point are minimal; we study, memorize, and pass our exams. We are not responsible for human lives.
Just wait until we've been doing this for fifty years. I wonder if any of the "bad doctors" started out like us. Were they once idealistic? Were any of the people committing empathy gaffes the same ones who were once able to detect the shortcoming in others? And if so, what changed? What eroded their ability to display compassion?
Medicine is notorious for jading people. I could see disillusionment in one of my own doctors, who talked about how he spent more time doing paperwork than seeing patients. I could see it in a resident I once shadowed, who bemoaned the fact that she essentially lost all outside interests because the only thing she had time for outside of medicine was sleep. I could even see it in a friend of mine, now just a third year medical student. Seeing him was especially disenchanting, as I saw the transition directly; I knew him when, back when he was bright-eyed.
Is becoming disillusioned inevitable?
I am curious to see myself and my classmates – who will then be my colleagues – several decades from now. Who will retain youthful energy and idealism? Who will be jaded? And, will any of us be that "bad doctor" who, by igniting indignation in a patient, unintentionally helps cultivate the next medical student?
One year ago, while interviewing for admission to a different medical school, I had the pleasure of speaking with an elderly family physician. Casually, after our "formal" conversation ended, I asked him why he ran interviews. "I love seeing the enthusiasm," he told me. "You spend so much time in this profession, and people complain about everything… I am inspired by you guys who aren't yet disillusioned."
To that interviewer, I say: I'm afraid I can't promise that I won't become jaded. I can't promise I won't become stressed. I am sure I will make mistakes. I am sure I will have many moments that will make me question whether I am in the right field.
My one hope is that these doubts will never overwhelm my ability to be kind to patients. The last thing I want to be is a physician who speaks loudly about moral actions and then behaves regrettably when it actually matters. And if I ever do become like that, I want someone idealistic sitting next to me to tap me and call me out on it.
And if by chance, someone reading this happens to be doing so in a clinical setting, I ask you one favor. Maybe bad habits start early, but that also means there's more time to fix them. So please, close this page. There's something way more important right in front of you.

ATLANTA - Georgia's new governor said he's not interested in sparring with South Carolina's new governor over the deepening of the Savannah River.
"I'm not going to get in any war of words with anybody," said Gov. Nathan Deal. "We don't need that. We need to work together."
Deal was meeting with two dozen members of the Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce at the Capitol when a businessman asked how to further the deepening project. It's desired by Georgia officials to keep the Savannah harbor competitive by ensuring it's accessible for the new breed of supersized container ships.
The harbor is the state's second-biggest economic engine, right behind Hartsfield-Atlanta International Airport.
Deal said he appreciates the intense competition among the ports on the East Coast for container traffic and the jobs associated with the cargo. Charleston, S.C., is also looking to deepen its channel, and it is as much as 10 years behind Savannah in the studies and environmental analysis needed to win federal approval.
Savannah officials hope to get their green light any day. They are also angling to get federal money to cover much of the $600 million cost to dig deep enough for the big ships.
Deal expressed chagrin over Gov. Nikki Haley's attitude. Roughly 40 percent of the workers at the Savannah port live in her state, he said.
Plus, South Carolina wants to develop a terminal in partnership with Georgia in Jasper County, S.C., which Georgia officials and the Army Corps of Engineers say would benefit two ways from the deepening. Besides also opening the proposed port to the big container ships, the deepening would generate the fill dirt needed to raise the site of the proposed Jasper harbor 10 feet.
"It seems to me there is a cohesiveness here that serves both states well," Deal said.
While Deal's latest comments indicate a desire to quell animosity with South Carolina officials, attitudes on the other side of the river have hardened against the harbor expansion.
S.C. Sen. Larry Grooms who chairs the Review and Oversight Commission of the S.C. State Ports Authority, said he supports the recent position taken by the chairman of the S.C. Ports Authority that pulls support the proposed bi-state Jasper port until Georgia agrees to address a host of South Carolina's objections to the Savannah deepening.
"The deepening project as designed is an $800 million opportunity to fail," said Grooms on Wednesday, citing navigational and dredge-spoil concerns.
Last week the S.C. General Assembly approved a resolution introduced by Grooms opposing the harbor project.
"We'll see what happens with Georgia," added Grooms. "Really, the ball is in Georgia's court."
Last fall then Gov.-elect Haley reportedly told South Carolina ports supporters in Charleston, "Georgia has had their way with us for way too long, and I don't have the patience to let it happen anymore."
When asked Wednesday to comment on the S.C. Legislature's resolution and Deal's statements, Haley spokesman Rob Godfrey issued this statement: "Gov. Haley, who was elected to look out for South Carolina's interests, is focused on economic development and infrastructure development and securing funds for Charleston dredging is a big part of that."
