We were lighting fireworks off on New Years eve and she (the raccoon) came running over to us and was so friendly and loving. She must had been someone's pet for her to be so friendly.
She loves to get into all the kitchen cabinets and into the fridge.

Please, PLEASE get the raccoon to a vet for distemper and rabies shots. They are very susceptible to diseases that will kill people and pets. If you have neighbors with poultry, they will NOT thank you for keeping a raccoon, either...they can tear up a chicken a day until the whole flock is nothing but feathers and guts.
I used to have a raccoon for a pet years ago. My brother had accidently hit the mother when she and her babies were crossing the road one night. He jumped out of the truck but all he found was one. He took it home and PeeWee lived with us for about two years. He grew to almost 50 pounds - loved scrambled eggs and salt water taffy. We had to take him to a wildlife refuge because he got too wild. I miss him. Good luck with your little guy!
oh CUTE!!! I love any kind of animal that's furry and friendly and darling - what a cutie!
I absolutely love animals, but agree with Margie--take it to the vet for shots, especially rabies. Racoons are extremely susceptible to rabies, and if transmitted to a human, well there is no treatment for the type of rabies carried by racoons.
We got a permit to have her and took her to the vet the next business day and she got all her shots and a clean bill of health from the vet. Vet also agreed she was already someones pet because she is trained and very much knows the word NO. We also went and bought a 6x6 foot cage for her so she will not get to our chickens and as for neighbors that is not a problem being we are on 25 acres so there are no close neighbors.
He already said he got it all of it's shots... Wouldn't that include rabies? Gotta love it when people jump all over ya for what you're doing right. Forums are great places to learn through lurking, though in my experience, when you dare to make a post, people either offer absolutely nothing of value, and jump all over you without good reason since you already did what you need to do (like in this case), or they take a holier than thou attitude. But let's not forget the name calling and flame wars that go along with it that many admins and mods. (some that have no right to be what they are) allow.
Anyhow, I doubt this post will ever actually get posted since guest posts are checked first, and I pointed out an ugly truth. And if it does, it'll probably get edited. Though if you are going to keep a racoon, I would highly suggest you go and volunteer at a zoo for a while to gain valuable experiance in the animal's proper care. Also, do plenty of research online since it's free and more up to date than books. (Why buy books when online research is often more accurate and free?) Get many opinions and then make informed decisions on your own, away from any pressure. I wish you luck.
Editor's Note: Hi Mindy,
Here at ThriftyFun, we value different opinions and ideas but DO NOT encourage flaming, name calling or mean spirited posts. They wll be edited out or the post will never be activated. If you find them on here, they probably slipped by and we appreciate knowing about them.
I did edit your post a bit and reserve the right to delete or edit any post on ThriftyFun that I feel will offend someone and really doesn't contain any useful content.

transformation awaits
At Epona Rise Retreat Center, we are proud to offer the very unique experience of sharing space with horses at liberty. Our herd of horses are powerful teachers of impact, leadership, and brilliance.
What makes our equine experiences unique is that they are all done on the ground, allowing you to build leadership and self-awareness, with the horses as your guide. As prey animals, horses are naturally highly sensitive and attuned to their environment. Because of that heightened sensitivity, they are able to read the undercurrents that are being projected into their space, by both natural predators and anyone that enters into their environment.
When you enter into the space of the herd, they are reading you - subtly, powerfully, and with intent. How they respond to you and a group has a direct connection to what that person or group is projecting into the space. In this act of mirroring, you receive powerful affirmation and instant feedback on how you show up in the space and impact it.
As humans, it is rare that we get a completely unbiased and pure mirror of ourselves, absent of ego and opinion. Horses are purely responding to the core intent of each person that enters their space. Without filters, they provide you with a mirror of instant feedback so you can become more aware and conscious of how you are showing up and more importantly, what impact you are having on the space and people around you.
Think you are leading congruently and effectively? The horse will show you exactly how you are showing up. Unsure how you are impacting the space and how to be more effective in your leading? The horse will show you. Instantly. In the moment. So you are able to really feel into what is congruent for you and what is not.
Part of the equine experience is also to develop a great awareness and knowledge of our own instincts, on a more intuitive level, and learn how to be more in tune to the subtleties of non verbal communication.
If you are looking for a powerful experience that is going to give you unbiased feedback and a greater depth of knowledge into your own leadership, brilliance, and awareness; there is nothing quite equal to being in direct connection and communication with the horse.
Since all of our interactions are done on the ground, safely held by our masterful facilitation, no previous horse experience is necessary. We create custom equine experiences to suit the unique needs of each group that is looking to add this powerful element to their own retreat or workshop. This includes half and full day facilitation opportunities with Hillary and the herd.

At Fine Dental Care, we want to offer our patients cutting-edge technologies with your comfort in mind. For years, patients who have a history of grinding and TMJ symptoms were forced to wear a full-coverage bite guard which can be uncomfortable, cause gagging and can on occasion cause more jaw discomfort.
Because of the downsides of wearing a full appliance, we at Fine Dental Care are proud to offer a revolutionary and simple way of treating all the symptoms of grinding, the NTI-tss Plus.
The NTI-tss plus is an FDA approved dental appliance developed to prevent migraine pain by reducing the intensity of jaw clenching and grinding (Bruxism) nearly 70% while you sleep. Bruxism is one of the main causes of migraines, jaw pain, earaches, damage to the teeth, and TMJ disorders. The NTI-tss Plus is designed to reduce bruxism and its symptoms.
The NTI-tss Plus provides a surface for the front teeth only, keeping the molars separated. This diminishes the ability of the molars to clench and grind, while full-coverage bite guards give the molars a clenching surface.
The NTI-tss Plus is small, comfortable, and doesn't produce a gag reflex, which means patients are more likely to wear it. The appliance is easy to fit and requires very little time in the dentist's chair.
For more information, you can visit NTI-tss Plus™.
Do you wake up with headaches, neck pain or sore teeth? You could have bruxism and be unconsciously clenching teeth while you sleep. If you're like more than 50% of people, you probably have a nighttime habit, and you may not even know about: gnashing, grinding or clenching teeth while you sleep.
Here's how to tell if you're doing it: Take your thumb or finger and feel along the edges of your upper and lower front teeth.
Then ask yourself these questions:
When you grind your teeth while you sleep, you're putting a tremendous amount of force on them, the equivalent of hundreds of pounds, and many times more than you would tolerate if you were doing it during the day. This unconscious habit can cause minor to severe damage to your teeth and jaw joint.
Some people just clench teeth at night, but they're still likely to move the jaw slightly from side to side or front to back – and end up wearing those teeth down.
As the teeth grind down and become flat, they can begin to look unsightly. The back teeth may start hitting each other as the front ones shrink. Teeth get shorter, chip easily, become loose and a once beautiful, youthful smile could be lost.
That jaw joint takes a beating with bruxism too. Ligaments in and around the TMJ can be damaged as the surrounding area becomes inflamed. The result is pain, sometimes unexpected and sudden.
How can we help? Ask Dr. Fine about the FDA approved appliance, the NTI-TSS. The NTI appliance is made not only to protect your teeth, but it also helps to re-program the muscles to assist in breaking the clenching and grinding habit. The appliance covers only a few teeth in the front, making it the most comfortable and effective appliance to use.

Grooming 101: What to do about nose hairs./
Okay, let's get down and dirty. Or up and nasty, depending on your point of view. I want to talk about nose hairs. Once upon a time I paid no attention to nose hairs. I was young and blissfully unaware. Other than the occasional stuffed-up variety of nose, I mostly ignored my appendage, counting on it to just go wherever I did and do it's thing without any advice from me. But something unexpected happened on the way to middle age. Hairs began sprouting out of places I'd never expected. One night, after being rejected from my attempted make out with a friend, of a friend, of a friend, I took a look in the mirror and talked to myself, "That girl liked me. At least from afar. But when we got close, SHAZAM, nothing. What happened?"
I breathed on the mirror. Hard to tell, but my breath seemed okay. I looked for other clues. True, I was pastey white. And I needed a shave. And I was a DUDE. How could any girl want to make out with a dude anyway? Yuck.
Okay, I was getting off track. I moved closer, and that's when I spotted them, peeking out like paintbrush bristles. Their roots buried up somewhere deep. Nose hairs! And, oh my sweet Buddha, some were snow white. Made me think of my father who has never trimmed his nose hairs, ever. They just grow down and merge with the hairs of his mustache. Neat, huh?
But in other news, nose hairs DO NOT turn women on. Grooming is IN. Men are shaving their chests for Pete's sake. A girl I know claims to only date men who shave their arm pits. The world has turned. Lumberjacks and burly men no longer run things. It's the hipsters and the Robert Pattersons who are considered hot.
I can't tell you how many times I've seen a client show up for training with us who has under-groomed in the nasal region. This necessitates a tough conversation. I have, a few times, on the spot, marched a guy down to the pharmacy to buy a trimming instrument of desperate, nose-hair destruction. If we don't take care of the grooming essentials we may as well not be in the game. What game? The game of love, sex, life. Don't leave the house with visible nose hairs. It'll distract people at your work, walking down the street, babies will cry and wolves will howl. Your chance of getting 'lucky' is reduced by 82.5%.
Okay, now that I've made you suitably paranoid about the topic, let's move on to talk about how to take care of those prickly rascals.
My first attempt to get rid of my nose hairs was to pick up a pair of tweezers and yank the suckers. But pulling a nose hair, root and all, will make your eyes water, create an unfulfillable urge to sneeze and want to rub your nose along the floor like a puppy. I've got the rug burns to prove it. Not cool.
I tried battery-powered nose hair trimmers but they suck. Because of their design they can't get in there close to the skin at the center flesh of the nose. Guys who claim to use them, always have visible 'hairage' if you look closely enough. And girls do, if they're up in your grill, about to make out.
I've always said, if you want a job done right, you gotta get in there and swipe at it yourself with a sharp instrument. I recommend using cuticle scissors (see above pic). These are designed to trim toenails but they do an excellent job of trimming nose hairs too. The blades are curved and wicked sharp. That curve will help you get in there close to the skin without poking yourself. Buy the most expensive pair you can find. There's nothing as frustrating as isolating a stubborn nose hair only to botch the job with dull blades.
Technique: In each nostril there are two regions that must be attended to. Hairs grow from the middle, nostril-separating flesh and another variety grows from somewhere up in the no-mans land of deep in the nose.
Step #1 Find a mirror with light that you can shine in your face. You will need light from slightly below nose level. You may have to bring a desk lamp into the bathroom with you. Or buy one of those lighted, magnifying mirrors they sell to old ladies to help put on makeup.
#2 Push the tip of your nose sideways and slightly up, exposing the middle flesh on one side of your nose. Use the scissors to cut the hairs growing out of this region as close as possible to the skin. It will be apparent which way to turn the curve of the scissors once you get in there.
BE CAREFUL! As I mentioned before, cuticle scissors are sharp. The blood vessels in your nose are close to the surface. One inattentive slice and you will bleed, and bleed, and bleed. If you get in a fist-fight you can be proud of a bloody nose, but you will feel stupid telling an emergency nurse you cut your nose with cuticle scissors.
#3 Repeat the last procedure in the other direction.
#4 Now use a thumb to pull a nostril up and outwards, like extremely flairing it. This will expose hairs that grow down from above. Trim these. You won't be able to get near the roots of these suckers because they grow from deep inside, so just trim them up as close as you can. Once you release your nostril to normal position you'll get a couple weeks of growth before they start to poke down visibly again.
#5 Repeat on the other nostril.
Tip: Only go after the visible hairs. You need some nose hair to filter out dust and debris from getting sucked into your lungs.
Congratulations. Now that you've mastered your nose hairs you are now sexier and happier. I know that I am.
Until next time, All the best, Your friend and guide to being a sexier DUDE, Wayne Elise

the great northern debate is an Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) project focused on a variety of topics including: Energy generation, Developing Countries, Climate Change, Sustainable Education (Education, education, education?) and 'What does sustainability mean? The project involves a range of activities including public discussions and workshops, debating workshops for schools and in universities, public engagement training for engineers and film-making training for young people not in employment, education or training. The project is run by The Great Debate, a not for profit community organisation dedicated to sustaining a space for public debate in the North East of England. Website: http://thegreatdebate.org.uk/EfSD1.html
Project Report 2013
In the last year we have worked in partnership with NECTER / RCE North East, Newcastle University, Northumbria University, Sunderland University, North East Centre for Lifelong Learning, Economic and Social Research Council, Newcastle Institute for Social Renewal, Great North Festival and Festival of the North East to deliver a diverse series of events for general audiences including: Whatever Happened to Equality? – a day of debate and documentary-making held in November 2012 which took a critical look at how the ideal of equality has been eroded in recent times; The Science of Humanity – a series of seven evening seminars for adults between January and March 2013 exploring how successful the natural and social sciences have been at telling us about what we are and our place in (or out of) nature; Media, Culture, Voice: Tackling inequality and marginalisation – a debate held in July asking what roles media and culture can and should play in tackling inequality and enabling the marginalised to 'speak'; and three discussion-based events in partnership with Great North Festival: Embracing the Future in April, Water and wind – Can renewables deliver? in June and Northumbria Stories in September.
We also obtained three key grants which will keep us busy throughout 2013-14:
- Royal Academy of Engineering have awarded The Great Debate a second grant under their Ingenious grant scheme for ETUDE: Engineering Transmission Using Deliberative Events, a one year project which will engage engineers in dialogue with the general public in order to improve understanding the intersection of technology with human values and behaviour.
- Big Lottery Fund's Awards for All scheme awarded us a grant to resume great northern youth voices, our venture into documentary-making training for young people not in employment, education or training which was last active in early 2012 and which laid the groundwork for NECTER's HYPODS (Hearing Young People on Development and Sustainability) project.
- Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) have supported us for the seventh year running to contribute to their Festival of Social Science in November 2013. This year's event: Decline and Fool: Changing Ideas in the Twenty Teens will look at the declining influence of environmentalism and postmodernism, and ask what, if anything, is taking their place.


text: Like so often in life, you encounter something new and then all of the sudden you start seeing more of the same. After the eBike post from yesterday I got a message notifying me of this "bike." I like innovation, but with our current infrastructure in the U.S. I see an idea like this causing more grief than good. Not that I want it that way, it's just the way I see it. What say you readers?

New York's Not My Home
It seems fitting to quote the late great Jim Croce at this moment, as his ballad clearly states the New York is a fine place to visit but 'he's gotta get outta here." And so must I.
The deal is, quite frankly, that I can't afford to live here. The New York area is firmly a two-income market. Houses that are 100 years old and upwards of 1000 square feet regularly sell for $400K or more. There are local taxes, state taxes – that are sometimes layered if you work in New York but live in the "tri-state area." Can you say AMT? I knew you could. Also there are just tons of job openings here – saying loud and clear that no one wants to come here. Predictably the meltdown on Wall Street caused a multi-BILLION dollar short-fall in tax revenue. And even when the financial district recovers, they can carry all the money they lost ahead for the next five years so that tax revenue isn't coming back any time soon. Also predictably, all governments between the MTA and Albany are figuring out new thing to tax or levy fees to make it up. Everything from taxing health benefits, to reinstate the commuters' tax, to charging a $.06 fee on those plastic bags from the grocery store. Certainly income and sales taxes will go up. The affluent are already saying 'New York's a great place to visit, but I'm tired of paying to live here." And so it goes.
I do have to say that I love my job – the company is great. It's great work, with great people, and great benefits. I know definitely that I'm a better programmer and engineer from the experience. The problem is a stark contrast to the quality of the job – I just can't make enough money to live. Moving my family here would put me solidly on a treadmill, one that I would never recover from.
This part of the country is solidly subject to Elizabeth Warren's theories detailed in The Two-Income Trap. That is, so many households here have both spouses working that the price of everything has increased to meet that household income, to the point where no one can afford any kind of lifestyle unless both spouses work. So if you want to have a traditional household where the father works and the mother stays home and actually raises the kids (as opposed to the school system) then you're just plain SOL.
So I'm going back on the job market. I need to find a job in Texas – a place where I have family and things cost something sane.
So, If you're looking for a top-notch C++ systems level programmer and you're not in New York – give me a call. I've updated my resume and it's available at the link to the right.

Yeah….turns out NY wasn't for us either. I'm already back in Houston (still with the company) and we are trying to figure out when/how to get my wife back.
NY is a nice place to visit 🙂
# Summer Rippeon 09 Jul 2009 at 15:06
🙁 I hope you can find a job here, too. Apparently, Austin is #1 in Texas for tech jobs, followed very closely by Dallas and Houston. You should be able to find something.
# Doug Stephanon 22 Dec 2009 at 15:14
In case you are desperate, you can move to Chicago. The job listed seems very similar to what (at least what I know) you were doing in NYC.
C++ and Java developers for financial Algorithmic Trading firms in NYC and Chicago
I am working with several top Algo Trading firms in both NYC and Chicago that are looking for strong C++ or Java developers to work with quants, traders and other elite developers.

Good luck in whatever you decide to do. I'm a TX expat on the East Coast and can totally relate.

Alumni Quigley (adopted Oct. 20, 2010)
Quigley met his new family today! He's going to have a great life!
Otto Update
Otto continues to delight us with his sweet and rambunctious personality. He performs all of his favorite activities with joy. He runs at full speed with ears in the wind and a smile, eats heartily, plays until exhaustion, sleeps like the dead, but most of all, loves with a pure heart! I believe we could all learn a thing or two from this special little guy.
DREAM Alumni Baxter (adopted Oct. 2, 2010)
It was love at first sight! Baxter's forever family met him at Howloweenie 2010. They had seen his picture before but pictures really don't do Baxter justice. Congratulations Betty, Ken, and Baxter!

Fast and Furious 6
- A lot of the banter between Tej and Roman.
Roman: Where the hell does this dude think he's going? We're on an army base, he's trapped!*cue giant cargo plane descending overhead*Tej: Wow, you just had to open your mouth. Now we've got this big-ass plane to deal with!Roman: That's not a plane, that's a planet!
- When they talk about how Shaw's gang are "evil twins" of the team, with Brian being called the Distaff Counterpart of Vegh (the blonde, Dark Action Chick on Shaw's team).
- The Running Gag of Roman's large forehead.
- This exchange:
"You gotta work on your emotion, man. Your voice went from Shaggy to Scooby-Doo. THIS IS NOT WHAT WE ROO-ROO-ROOOOO!"
- More Roman ball-breaking from Tej:
Tej: So we working for The Hulk now? (goofily flexes his arms out in front of him)Roman: (as Hobbs walks in) Why do I smell baby oil?Hobbs: You keep running your mouth, you're gonna smell an ass-whoopin'.
- Both of them take a few shots on Hobbs when they learn they'll be working with him.
Roman: (to Mia, as Hobbs and Elena walk in) Hey, Mia! You better hide that baby oil! (laughs)Hobbs: You better hide that big-ass forehead.(Cue Spit Take from Tej.)
- ...which also becomes a call-back in the epilogue:
- Roman, in true grade school fashion, teasing Han about Gisele for over a minute - only for Han to shut him down in two seconds by using Roman's own words to insinuate that Roman is overcompensating because all his girlfriends have a lot of bling. Kind of a retroactive Tear Jerker given how things turn out for them.
- Again, when Roman talks about Shaw's crew.Roman: I'm sittin' here lookin' at these images. It's like we're huntin' our evil twins! Well, look at this black dude right here - he's handsome. Clearly, that's me! We got a white Hobbs. This is Han. Tej... an African in a beanie - that's like your Mini-Me, man! (laughs) Yo, Brian! (Brian turns to look at Roman) When did you do this photo shoot? (Brian laughs and flips off Roman) I'm just playin', man. I know you're the prettiest blonde around here, ha.
- Hobbs's No-Holds-Barred Beatdown of one of Shaw's men in the interrogation room, which doubles as a CMOA.
- When Hobbs calls Tej's phone, it comes up as "SAMOAN THOR". Doubles as an in-joke, since there's no evidence of Hobbs the character being Samoan, aside from who plays him.
- For an added level of meta-funny, Elena's actress is married to Thor's actor and even stood in for Natalie Portman in the stinger of the second movie.
- After Shaw's martial-arts enforcer kicks the crap out of Han and Roman and escapes, the two stagger to their feet, with Roman declaring, "No one needs to know about this. No one." Han agrees.
Han: You go.
- During the fight, the two are getting their butts kicked. Roman gets thrown into Han and they struggle to right themselves.
Roman: No, you go!
- While Hobbs is briefing the team, Roman gets sidetracked by a vending machine, but is confused by British money:Roman: Hey, uh, which one of these is, like, a dollar?*Hobbs shoots out the vending machine glass, spilling its contents*Hobbs: It's on the house.*Roman picks up a candy bar out of the pile*
- Prior to that scene had Roman asking Tej for some change, leading to this exchange:Tej: Seriously? You a millionaire, and you still tryin' to ask for money?Roman: That's how you stay a millionaire.
- Prior to that scene had Roman asking Tej for some change, leading to this exchange:
- What's better than Tej and Roman treating each other like Bros? Tej and Hobbs trolling like bros.
- To elaborate, they go to a riverside car auction to get some cars, where a haughty English salesman shows up and instantly makes discriminatory remarks at them, mistaking both for kitchen helo. It also did not help that the snob criticized Tej for not being a "balla", and Hobbs for being a military man.
- As the chap leaves, Hobbs thought that Tej was planning on stealing them and repeatedly refuses to let him do so. Cue the cars, a few minutes later, being delivered to their base and the salesman thanking Tej for buying the cars and asking if there's anything else he can do for them. Tej and Hobbs make him hand over his shirt, pants and watch, walking away with only his underwear.
- For consolation's sake, though, they did allow the poor fellow to keep the coat.
- When the tank shows up:Roman: I'm sorry, did somebody just say a tank?Cue the tank driving byRoman: So, who's got a Plan B?Tej: "Plan B?" We need a Plan C, D, E; we need more alphabets!
- During the tank chase:Roman: Somebody do something! I got a tank on my ass!
- During the tank chase:
- Oh and before anyone forgets, just remember the words on the airplane's tail before dealing with the group's resident Motor Mouth: IT'S ROMAN, BITCHES!
- Hobbs heading to a control station to get camera footage in a sewer. Two of the guards are obviously on Shaw's payroll and try to turn him away when it comes to ask for it. Hobbs sees through them quite clearly but subtlety tells them that "it would be ridiculous" if that was the case. Needless to say the guards quickly get the hint.
Furious 7
- Brian's introduction, complete with the series' staple gear shifting close-up ...in a minivan.
- Even better is that he does it just to get to a few feet in front of him. Behind another car, in a middle of an elementary school carpool.
- While Dom and the rest of the crew (minus Letty) are discussing the plan to rescue Ramsey, Tej is busy playing on his smartphone. Becomes Fridge Funny when they are finally putting the plan into action, especially with the first shot of the sequence being the game that Tej was playing.
- Roman begins complaining about how he should be the leader and come up with the plan. Dom immediately asks him on his opinion, prompting Roman to mumble how he didn't mean it right now. And as everyone else comes up with ideas, he keeps making excuses for why it wasn't him.
- The plan to rescue Ramsey involves Dom, Brian, Letty, Tej, and Roman falling out of a jet in their cars and parachuting their way down. Roman chickens out at the last minute, and Tej activates his chute to pull him out of the jet.Roman: Hey man, listen. I'm sorry to let you all down, okay? I'mma go ahead and stay up here.Tej: No, brother. I'm sorry to let you down.Roman: What?(Tej then flips a handleld remote switch, which then pops open a parachute from Roman's Camaro.)Roman: What do you mean, you so-(Cue his car getting dragged out of the plane, as Roman frantically hits the brakes, to no avail.)Roman: Tej! What are you doing?!(Then, just as his Camaro gets finally dumped out of the aircraft and starts flailing about in mid-air...)Roman: TEEEEEEEJ! (still screaming while frantically kicking the brakes) I HATE YOU TEJ!!!
- Even funnier once the crew finally touches down.Dom: Car check, call it in.Letty: Check.Tej: Check.Brian: I'm good; let's do this.(While they are riding down the mountain road...)Roman: (Still with his parachute deployed) Hello? Please, man. Get me outta here, somebody! No, the trees!Brian: (Looks at his side mirror) Ah, shit.Dom: Sit tight, Roman; we'll come back for you.Roman: This is not the plan!
- Again during the rescue mission on the mountain road...Tej: Bulletproof baby! Can't touch this! Doodododoo...
- The Noodle Incident involving Ramsey and her Arabian friend Safar:Safar: (Approaching the crew) Tried to call dibs on Ramsey, two years ago. Her knee, my balls. You don't wanna do that.
- Kara catches Letty with the security guard she just KO'd.Letty: Would you believe I knocked him out with my charm?Kara: You're not that charming, bitch.
- Roman distracts everyone at the party by singing a horribly butchered version of "Happy Birthday" which causes Tej to cringe at how bad it is.
- When Mr. Nobody has been injured after Shaw's ambush, his "last words" urge Dom to try the Belgian Ale he offered him earlier in the film.
- Speaking of Roman (again), the way he lampshades the Predator that they are getting away from during the final battle; serves as a Call-Back to the last movie, too:Roman: First a tank, then a plane... Now a spaceship?!
- Dom meets Hobbs' daughter. "My dad said... he kicked your ass once."
- "Dom, Dom! Cars don't fly!"
The Fate of the Furious
- At one point Hobbs is locked up in prison and is right across the cell of Deckard Shaw. He is not pleased at all.Hobbs: I will beat you like a Cherokee drum.
Shaw: Do you really believe you could beat me in a straight-up old-fashioned fistfight?Hobbs: Let me tell you something: Me and you, one-on-one. No one else around. I will beat. Your ASS. Like a Cherokee drum!(Beat)Shaw: Maybe one day we'll find out.
- Even funnier in the full movie version:
Hobbs: With all due respect Captain, when this whole thing is over were going to find a location, and Im gonna knock your teeth so far down your throat youre gonna stick a toothbrush right up your ass to brush em.
- The futile attempts at Hobbs trying to stay in his cell before he just goes "Screw it" and leaves to find Deckard.
- The Actually Pretty Funny moment between Hobbs and Shaw, where Deckard can't help but crack up at Hobbs' cartoonishly detailed threat:
- Doubles as a massive Casting Gag considering that The Rock himself threw a few Ass Shove jabs during his heyday as a professional wrestler.
- Hobbs is shown giving a big speech on "hunting down and destroying the enemy." The camera then cuts to show he's talking to his daughter's soccer team.
- Hobbs leads his team in a haka, stomping and yelling, slapping chests and more. The opposing team of little girls just stare in silence before one declares "I don't want to play anymore" and runs off.
- The kicker for the scene is Hobbs' deadpan statement that if the team loses, he will have to spend a lot of time at Tay Tay concerts to cheer the girls up.
- The sight of Dame Helen Mirren playing the Shaws' Cockney mother.
- The fact that she is the one who uses the Precision F-Strike in the movie makes it somewhat heartwarming in a Sophisticated as Hell sort of way...
- When she saves Deckard, she insists he bring Owen along on the raid of the plane. Deckard refuses and Mum Shaw starts crying over not caring about family as he winces, closes his eyes and agrees... at which point, she instantly stops crying and smiles and Deckard groans "Every time...".
- The Brick Joke with Roman not being on the top 10 most wanted list, even though everyone else on the team currently is. He spends the rest of the movie trying to prove that he's worthy of being on it.
- Near the end of the film, right before the climax, Roman is complaining about the environment they are in (being Iceland), and mentioning how he "didn't recognize [himself]" when trying to take a piss. It comes back later when Hobbs picks him up and refers to him as "Shrinkage".
- Roman tries to read Russian. Hilarity Ensues.
- When Deckard is rescuing Dom's son (Brian) from the plane and fighting bad guys at the same time. He gives the baby boy earmuffs and music so he won't hear all the gunfire and general mayhem, and the kid just has a big adorable smile on his face.
- And before that, Deckard telling his brother to be careful because Owen doesn't have good luck with planes. Owen's reaction and response sells it.
- Also, Deckard telling the kid "You're going to not want to see this" as he turns the seat away and beats up a guy who tried to shoot him. Afterwards, he looks at the baby, sniffs, frowns and asks "That you or him?" Cue the baby glancing at the beaten up guy "Him."
- Before that, there's also his reaction to the guy trying to shoot Brian.
- Roman Pearce, the series' Butt-Monkey, is being attacked and trying to flee, and yet can't escape his attackers. Why? He's driving an orange Lamborghini, something Tej lampshades to him:Roman: Why are they shooting at me?Tej: I don't know. Maybe because you're in a orange Lamborghini.Roman: Shut up, Tej!
- "Tea-and-crumpets eating, criminal summmmmbitch."
- Roman and Tej spend the movie competing for Ramsey's affections. They finally lay it out for her at the end to pick one of them. Looking them over, Ramsey asks a simple question: "What's my last name?" As they both blink and stutter, she smirks that when they figure it out, she can consider one of them.

30-storey hotel built in just 15 days
Published on Jan 11, 2012
A Chinese development firm is revolutionising the construction industry with jaw dropping demonstration projects. Using prefabricated building components, Broad Group is erecting earthquake-proof skyscrapers in a matter of days. The company has just completed its second demonstration project. The 30-storey hotel was built from scratch in just 15 days. It is not only significantly cheaper to build and more environmentally friendly than standard counterparts, it is also capable of withstanding a magnitude nine earthquake.

Often I talk about the importance of an emergency fund in a healthy financial plan. However, recent stats show that most American do not have an adequate three to six months worth of expenses saved up. A careerbuilder.com survey found that as many as 3/4th of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck with no margin in their financial life. Not having an Emergency Fund might not sound like a big deal, but from personal experience I can vouch for the benefit of having one.
Last fall, my wife and I had some unique financial situations come up on us back to back. First my wife was involved in an auto accident during a rain storm. Fortunately she was all right, but the car was not. It needed a new back bumper in addition to some new tires. A little over a week later, our electric garage door stopped due to a spring breaking and we had to call someone to get it replaced. The combined cost to us was about $900 for the deductible, new tires, and new garage door. Thankfully, we had our emergency fund and were able to pay those expenses without missing a beat.
I tell this story because if we did not have the emergency fund we would have had to scramble to find out how we would make our next mortgage payment or instead finance those purchases on a credit card which would have gotten us into more trouble financially. Fortunately, by having the emergency fund we turned a potential crisis into an inconvenience. In addition, we have had similar incidents of dipping into our emergency fund to cover unique situations and each time we have been able to sleep at night knowing it will not wreck us financially. So if you do not have an emergency fund for your family, make it a priority today! Do not be normal, be prepared for emergencies and turn your next financial crisis into an inconvenience.
Have you benefited from having an emergency fund? How have you leaned on it during tough financial times? I would love to hear your stories, so leave your comments below.

DIPPAM, Documenting Ireland: Parliament, People and Migration, is an Ulster based site. According to the Home Page, "DIPPAM is an online virtual archive of documents and sources relating to the history of Ireland, and its migration experience from the 18th to the late 20th centuries". It is composed of three different sections:
EPPI – Enhanced British Parliamentary Papers on Ireland – contains over 14,000 documents with over 500,000 pages of text.
IED – Irish Emigration Database – over 33,000 documents from 1780-1950, with 75% from the period 1820-1920. The majority deal with Transatlantic migration.
VMR – Voices of Migration and Return – oral archive and database comprised of life narrative interviews conducted with over 90 migrants and returnees from Ulster (9-counties) gathered since 2004.
DIPPAM is a valuable resource for the researcher if Irish History and Genealogy. Although it has a 9 county Ulster orientation, many of the documents in its databases pertain to all of Ireland, as well as emigration to the United States, Canada, Australia and elsewhere. In addition, many of the historical documents found in the EPPI section containing Parliamentary documents from 1801-1922, the period of The Act of Union 1801, pertain to all of Ireland.
I discovered this website due to an email from fellow genealogist Patrick Crowley in Dublin, IE. He publishes the popular website West Cork History ~ History of Durrus/Muintervara
He had a link to a document which showed the weapons that William Lannin of Bantry, County Cork, was licensed to possess. The items included "2 single barrell guns, 2 cases pistols and 1 sword". This document is page 21 of 102 of "Return of Persons to whom Licenses have been granted to keep Arms by Magistrates at Quarter Session in Ireland, 1832" It is now very clear that gun control is not a new concept to society.
This is the first page of the document, showing arms licenses throughout Ireland from 1 Aug 1832 to 18 Feb 1836:

From EPPI Archive Guide FAQ
"EPPI contains a complete set of British Parliamentary Papers relating to Ireland and Irish affairs published during the period of the Act of Union (1801-1922). The documents were published under the authority of the UK House of Commons and bound together as volumes ('blue books') arranged by parliamentary session – usually a part of a calendar year, but occasionally covering parts of two calendar years. The documents include papers originating in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, as well as reports of Royal Commissions of Inquiry and other .Command Papers. produced by the government rather than parliament.
A number of sets of Parliamentary Papers were published for use in parliament, government offices and other repositories, but few complete sets are accessible to the public. In 2002-5 the original EPPI project, funded by AHRC and based at the University of Southampton, digitised the bulk of Irish-related papers and rendered them searchable over the web. The DIPPAM project has taken over the maintenance of the EPPI materials from Southampton, enhanced their usability and filled any gaps in the document run, made them cross-searchable with the IED and VMR records, and restored free global access to users.
The completed EPPI archive contains over 14,000 documents containing over half a million pages of text originally published as UK parliamentary papers. All documents identified as relating to Ireland in the breviates and indexes of official publications have been included, incorporating materials on the Irish in Britain and reports of Emigration Commissioners on Irish migration overseas. EPPI includes all parliamentary bills (although not the final acts of parliament), reports and accounts from parliamentary committees and official bodies, reports and evidence of Royal Commissions of Inquiry, reports of the Census Commissioners, etc. It is an unrivalled source of statistical and qualitative evidence for the history of Irish society in the Union period, as well as for its political, religious and economic history. Although EPPI represents principally the official view of Ireland from Westminster and Dublin Castle, the sources are rich with testimony and correspondence collected or originating in Ireland or with the Irish overseas.
All EPPI documents were published during the period 1801-1922, when Ireland formed part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, although some documents reproduce material dating from before the 1800 Act of Union.
Principally Ireland, but with a number of documents relating to Irish emigration and settlement in Great Britain, British colonies such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the United States and elsewhere.
The EPPI archive contains image facsimiles of all the documents, which have been scanned using optical character recognition technology to make the texts electronically searchable. Where abstracts of documents exist as part of the breviates of parliamentary papers, these have been added to the site.
Users can search by keyword either the titles and abstracts of the documents, or the scanned full text files of the documents, and can restrict the search by setting year limits or specifying categories of documents.
Alternatively, users can browse documents by year of publication, or by the thematic categories in the Ford Breviates of parliamentary papers, or by Library of Congress Subject Headings.
All EPPI documents are official publications, published by parliamentary authority in either London or Dublin (it is not necessary to give the place of publication in citation).
EPPI documents should be cited using the form listed on each bibliographic record, that is:
HC [for House of Commons] session year [as in 1809 or 1831-32], paper number [sessional papers should be placed in round brackets, as in (345), command papers in square brackets, with a prefix if required, as in [69] or [Cd.233]], volume number in roman numerals [as in xli]. starting page number in volume [as in .124]."
From the IED FAQ 1. What is the background to this resource?
"The concept behind IED took shape at the Ulster American Folk Park during the 1980s. In 1988 the generous sponsorship of the computer company Digital and the support of DENI allowed the project to get underway. A team of Enterprise Ulster trainees under the direction of staff in Omagh and Belfast began collecting, transcribing and digitising archive material from a variety of repositories in Belfast and material in private hands which was donated. Those who would like a more comprehensive history of the project may consult the following article by the former Project Officer – Lorraine Tennant, 'The Development of the Centre for Migration Studies' Irish Emigration Database' in Journal of the Association for History and Computing, vol.VII, no.3, (Dec. 2004), 1-17."
Document Types
There are currently over 33,000 documents in the Irish Emigration Database with new items being added as they become available. Documents are divided by type among thirteen classifications. According to the IED FAQ, they all can be divided into one of three types:
"Documents created by private individuals including letters, diaries and journals written by migrants as well as other letters throwing light on emigration.
Newspaper material includes advertisements for emigrant shipping, reports concerning the progress of emigrant shipping and extracted reports relating to emigration in general. Births, deaths and marriages of those overseas are also to be found in newspapers.
Official and government papers include material extracted from reports and enquiries, the record of parliamentary debates contained in Hansard and official statistics."
From the VMR FAQ:
"The VMR oral archive and database is comprised of life narrative interviews conducted with over 90 migrants and returnees from Ulster (9-counties) gathered during the course of two recent studies on contemporary migration (since 2004): Narratives of Migration and Return (NMR) (2004-2006), was an all-Ireland study about return migration funded by the HEA North South Programme for Collaborative Research, Strand 1, with research partners at Queen.s University Belfast (QUB), the Mellon Centre for Migration Studies (MCMS), Omagh, University College Cork, and the University of Limerick. Following on from NMR-Ulster, a second study, Northern Ireland Emigrant Narratives (NIEN) (2006-2008), funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and based at QUB and MCMS, aimed at collecting interviews with Northern Ireland (NI) emigrants living abroad, focusing on Britain and Canada, the major destinations of NI emigrants in the 20th century. All interviews were conducted by Dr Johanne Devlin Trew (University of Ulster and an associate of MCMS, formerly of QUB).
Interviews averaging 2 hours in length have been conducted with 93 migrants. It is envisaged that further interviews will be added to the collection.
While migration events that occurred from the 1930s through the 2000s are represented in VMR, the emphasis in the collection is on the 1970s decade due to its high emigration rate and the outbreak of the Northern Ireland conflict.
The interviewees, aged between 32 and 85 years at the time of interview, represent a range of geographic origins within Ulster, class backgrounds and religious denominations. Participants were largely self-selected responding to advertisements placed in a variety of media. To protect confidentiality, interviewees may have chosen to be identified by pseudonyms and surnames are not included.
The interviews are fully keyword searchable via the VMR database which provides topical access to individual audio tracks (2-3 minute range) and allows for streaming of the associated audio."

"Highlighting the uniformly strong, ebullient cast, soprano Joanna Mongiardo handled the coloratura demands of Eurydice with polished ease. Mongiardo and baritone Matthew Worth made the Act II duo for Eurydice and Jupiter (disguised as a fly) every bit the comic and technical tour de force it should be."
Opera News
"Standouts include soprano Joanna Mongiardo, who nails the coloratura demands of Eurydice."
The Denver Post
"Mongiardo is a laugh a minute as the bright, coquettish Eurydice tries to escape her husband's music, which she hates, for her daily trysts with the shepard boy Aristeus (Ryan MacPherson), who turns out to be Pluto. Her vocal acrobatics thrill, one of many delectable confections that fill the evening."
"Eurydice, portrayed by Joanna Mongiardo, is pretty and sexy, and a really good coloratura. She also does a great job of playing up to a series of lovers. Vocally she has a difficult role, and she pulls it off with pizzazz."

I've haven't been blogging because I've been busy/
So for your entertainment, here is a picture of our new dog, Bruce. He is Bruce the Batdog and, when he is playing, he is lovingly known as Bruce the Moose. Bruce came to live with us back in February, and we have all finally adjusted to one another, except for Macavity, who is still in a snit about the whole thing, but he will eventually get over it.
Or not.
Macavity is a cat, so it's a cat-thing.
Meanwhile, Ladies and Gentlemen, please meet Bruce:
This is Bruce helping me with edits.
Bruce is a sweet, well-trained dog, and my husband loves him very much. Bruce has also managed to win my favor, which is no small feat, given that I am not a dog person. That pile of paper on the ottoman is why I've been so MIA of late. I hope to have some news for soon.
Meanwhile, please enjoy Bruce. He's really brightened our lives.
Even Macavity likes him. Although he'll never admit it. It's a cat-thing.

I'm a long-time fan of Nature's Bakery Fig Bars – a local company producing sweet wholesome versions of my favorite childhood cookie, all dairy-free and kosher pareve. Plus, they're constantly innovating with new flavors and have now launched a line of Double Chocolate Brownies in their famous fig bar style.
Yes, I said dairy-free double chocolate brownies. They're actually vegan and made without soy or nuts, too! But as mentioned, they are fig bar-style. Not quite an over-the-top dessert, but more like an indulgent snack-worthy treat.
Tassting Notes for Nature's Bakery Double Chocolate Brownies
Like their Fig Bars, the Nature's Bakery Double Chocolate Brownies come two per package and have a stone-ground whole wheat outer layer (no fluffy stuff here!) with a filling in the center. They're also made from a simple list of wholesome ingredients. But unlike the Fig Bars, they're completely chocolate throughout, and the denser filling uses dates instead of figs.
This was a true pleasure with a pure fudgy flavor that was a bit less indulgent than sugary dessert brownies. It had a nice thick, tender consistency that beckons to a brownie, but with more of a brownie "bar" texture. And though the double chocolate brownies have a baked brownie outside with a fudgy middle, the two layers seemed to merge together into one cohesive bite.
The Blueberry was very similar to the Chocolate, but the chocolaty filling is spiked with blueberry puree. I liked the concept, and thought it was pretty good. Although the flavors didn't quite come together the way that I had hoped. Perhaps the amount of blueberry was just a little too much. It seemed to compete for top billing rather than merging into a seamless flavor experience.
The Nature's Bakery Double Chocolate Brownies
Certifications: Nature's Bakery Double Chocolate Brownies are Certified Kosher Parve, Certified Vegan, and Non-GMO Verified.
Dietary Notes: By ingredients, Nature's Bakery Double Chocolate Brownies are dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan / plant-based, and vegetarian. Nonetheless, check with the company on their manufacturing processes for all varieties if potential allergen cross-contamination is an issue for you. Processes and labeling are subject to change at any time for any company / product.

Braised Kielbasa and CabbageBetween Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, there are some pretty awesome smoked sausages to be found down here. Distinctly Deep South, they are unique, highly spiced and incredibly flavorful, and the sausages we use the most in our cooking.
And then there's unassuming, simple and mild, soft-textured Polish kielbasa. Very much different than Conecuh, Savoie's, Polk's or Country Pleasin', but we love it down here just as much as anywhere else in the country. There are times you just want something simple and basic. Something that's comforting and delicious. This cabbage dish is just that and kielbasa is perfection here.
Being mindful that it's Lent as I am posting this, you can totally make this sans the sausage, though I'd be tempted to add a tiny splash of Liquid Smoke. While clear meat-based broths are technically allowed during Lent under laws regarding abstinence, you may certainly substitute a good vegetable broth if you prefer.

If you make this or any of my recipes, I'd love to see your results! Just snap a photo and hashtag it #DeepSouthDish on social media or tag me @deepsouthdish on Instagram!

Belgium, located in western Europe, is well-known as being the host of the European Union's headquarters. Along with being a political hub, the country also is home to many cultural, historical, and fun things to do. Here are my travel tips for what to do in Belgium, excluding the capital city of Brussels.
Visit Mechelen, a former capital
Mechelen is a small city in Belgium that was the capital of the Netherlands from 1506 to 1530. The area may be tiny, but it is filled with history and activities. Visit the late-medieval Saint Rumbold's Tower, with its unique wood carvings and 15th, 16th, and 17th century religious artwork. Boat tours and brewery tastings are also a popular option, and a stop at the Brewery Het Anker will give you the option to taste beer chocolates. Moreover, a walk around the main square of town will give you the chance to see eight beautiful churches.
Canalside houses in Mechelen
Make a stop in Durbuy, the world's smallest city
Durbuy, which claims to be the world's smallest city, is a traditional Belgian town in the French speaking part of the country. Simply wandering around the tiny city and its quaint streets can make for a relaxing day, and stopping at a local cafe for a strong brew can make the day even better. Begin your tour of Durbuy at the Chateau des Comtes de Marchin, where you will be given stunning views of the river Muse and also delicious Belgian waffles in their cafe. Next, move on to the Grotto de Han, a cave that has been offering tours since the 1800's. Long stretches of tunnels and a natural cathedral are all part of the experience.

Admire the Grote Markt in Antwerp
The Grote Markt (Great Market) is a giant square in the center of the old city. You will be able to take in 16th century architecture, golden statues, fountains, and lavishly decorated houses of the Guilds. Visit town hall, shop in boutique stores, sip a coffee in a cozy cafe, or enjoy a pint of Belgian beer at one of the square's pubs. The atmosphere is quite romantic, and although it is a favorite spot for locals and tourists, and prices are still reasonable. Read Karen's tips for what to do in Antwerp.

Travel back to the Middle Agest at the "Castle of the Count"
In Ghent, you can visit Gravensteen Castle, a castle as well as a historical museum. The castle dates back to the Middle Ages and in Dutch literally means "castle of the count". Not only are visitors to this castle treated to amazing views of the city, but also an authentic castle experience with a moat, dungeons, and various torture devices that were once used in the city.

Experience the food and drink culture of Bruges
For those who love to eat and drink, Bruges is the perfect city to visit in Belgium. Home to the Chocolate Museum, Frite Museum, and the De Halve Maan Brewery, this city will have you donning loose-waisted pants the entire trip. De Halve Mann is the still-active family brewery in Bruges, and for 6 euros you can get a guided tour and tasting. At the Frite Museum, you will learn all about Potato Fries, which originated in Belgium. Best of all, this is the only museum in the world to be dedicated to this particular food favorite. And a stop at the Chocolate Museum will give you a chance to learn about the history of the treat while also participating in cocoa-inspired workshops.

Pay your respects at the Trenches of Death in Diksmuide
The Trenches of Death is a historical site in the peaceful countryside town of Diksmuide. The site itself is a network of trenches from WWI located next to the River Yzer. An small building provides visitors with information before their journey into the solemn area of the trenches, which have been restored to look exactly like they would have during the war.

Expand your knowledge at the Grand Curtius Museum in Liège
Located on the Meuse River in Liège, the Curtius Museum is a historical and cultural museum dedicated to archeology and art. Originally built around the early 1600's, the museum was originally known as the Musee Curtius (Curtius Museum) but reopened in 2009 after extensive renovations to be called the The Grand Curtius Museum. Visitors can peruse more than 7,000 years of regional and international artifacts and over 5,200 items on display in chronological or thematic order. The collections include decorative arts, Mosan art, archeological treasures, religious art, weaponry, and glass pieces.

Explore the Neolithic Flint Mines in Spiennes
The Neolithic Flint Mines are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and covers more than 247 acres. They are the biggest and most ancient group of land mines in all of Europe. The existence of the mines actually gives evidence of the inventiveness and technological progress of Neolithic cultures. For only 2,50 Euros, you can see this amazing site for yourself and get a glimpse into the extraordinary past of the area.

Hear the oldest belfry in Belgium in Tournai
The Belfry of Tournai is the oldest belfry in Belgium dating back to medieval times. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and at 72 meters high and with 256 stairs to reach the top, can be seen from miles away. Although a fire damaged the building in 1931 and some of the 44 bells had to be replaced, the largest bell of the period as well as the fire bell were preserved. A visit to this site will show you beautiful architecture and a picture of history.

See the Waterloo Battlefield up close
In the town of Waterloo resides the Waterloo Battlefield, a historic site from Battle of Waterloo during the War of the Seventh Coalition. A 40 minute tour with historic narration is offered, as well as an impressive lion monument, a wax museum with life-like figures of Napoleon and other soldiers, enlightening films, and restaurants. While there is a great area with panoramic views just be cautioned that there are quite a lot of stairs. For ticket prices, click here.

Bulking Diet
Bulking is the phase of weight gain until it reaches above the ideal body weight desired. This method is often used by athletes and bodybuilders lift. Eat lots carbohydrate but not to reduce intake of protein. Percentage is approximately 40% carbohydrate, 40% protein and 20% healthy fats. Bulking is good is the addition of mass a lot of muscle (massive) but not followed by the addition of too much fat.
The process of bulking does not mean eating anything, so keep your diet set for add calories. Choose unsaturated fats, complex carbohydrates, fiber foods, as well as high-protein diet for your body still in the process of anabolic (build muscle). Here these are some things you should consider in making bulking phase:
1. Avoid foods that contain saturated fat and trans fat because it will disturb the balance metabolism and inhibit muscle growth. Trans fats are found in fried foods, biscuits, cakes and pastries. High saturated fat found in pork.
2. Multiply the consumption of marine fish because the full content of Omega-3 which is
good fats needed by the body.
3. Balance exercise with adequate rest. Do not forget to sleep for at least 8 hours. This sleep that we often forget. Though at the time of this sleep muscle will grow rapidly.
4. Drink plenty of water. Water can accelerate your metabolism thereby helping transports fats in the body so as not backfilled.
5. Eat enough vitamin and mineral needs of your daily. Vitamins and minerals will help body to absorb food properly so that food intake will be absorbed optimally. Vitamin is also helpful to increase the immune system and normal functioning of the body.
6. For you are aged 30 years and over, increase your testosterone levels to
maximum muscle growth with testosterone booster supplement. Because bulking phase basically means we want to raise muscle so exercise who lauched is dilative muscle exercise.
for example:
– Squats + leg press to the foot
– Bench press + incline + decline to chest
– Chin up + t-bar row + Dumbell pullovers to wing
– Barbell curl for bicep
– Lying barbell pullovers + close-grip bench press, etc.
With the above exercise do not forget to exercise for the formation of (definitions), such as leg extensions, leg curl, flye, dll. Dont forget to progressively increase the weight each set. For bulking phase, the number of rep maintained or decreased slightly by increasing the load but do not forget to force technique, could be injured. Also could use a forced rep who helped with your partner.
To phase of cutting, does not need too heavy burden, an important number of rep could be improved.
Eating protein-rich snack before exercise is an alternative that you can choose. After that, make sure you get some carbs for fuel synthesis protein and protein degradation. Immediately after exercise is the best time to drink, then add some carbs to it. Good bulking diet is simple. Make a long-term plan, note any progress with getting accurate.

March is known as the month that "comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." It is also known for the Ides of March, the ancient full moon and the date on which Julius Caesar was assassinated.
March came to have the idiom of the lion and lamb associated with it because of its tumultuous weather. It straddles winter and spring and tends to display characteristics of both. The weather may fluctuate between snow and warm spring-like weather. Although either weather pattern happens throughout the month, generally its considered that the beginning of the month sees the end of winter with milder weather toward the end of month.
Another thing for which March is known is the Ides of March. In the ancient calendar, the Ides of March, the 5th, marked the final stage of the first full moon of the New Year, and a major festival was held by the Romans. Julius Caesar added 10 days to the Roman calendar when he took reign and moved the New Year to Jan. 1. Ironically, he was assassinated on the Ides of March by members of his own senate who feared that his status as dictator for life was a threat Rome.

CANNES SHORT FILM CORNER - Lalo
Logline: Lalo is a kid dreaming about singing in the church choir. Soon, everyone will find in him an extraordinary gift that will change the course of his life.
Length: 11 min
Director: Omar Iñygo
Producer: Jane Arapawe
About the producer and director:
Jane Arapawe (producer) graduated in Film at the UDCI (Tijuana), with studies of classical music and singing at Northwestern School of Music (EMNO). She has made altruistic work in various youth and environmental foundations. She has participated with UDCI Film School, Lucertola Films and New York Film Academy in several film projects in the area of production, production assistance, directing, writing, acting, among others.
Omar Iñygo - Director and Screenwriter, graduate from the screenwriting course at Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica (CCC)
Looking for (producers, sales agents, buyers, distributors, film festival directors, journalists): Journalists
Funders: Universidad de las Californias Internacional (UDCI) Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico
Made in association with: UDCI FILM SCHOOL
Release date: November 2015
Congratulations! Why did you make your film?
We wanted to tell a story about the wishes and goals a kid in an abusive situation.
Imagine I'm a member of the audience. Why should I watch this film?
Because it offers likeable moral values that everyone can relate to.
How do personal and universal themes work in your film?
It's a way of reflecting realities about issues like bullying and the strength of faith.
How have the script and film evolved over the course of their development and production?
The short started as a classroom project for a screenplay, made by Jane Arapawe as homework, the teacher Omar Iñygo participated as a co-script writer. At the end we unintentionally had a story arch similar to "The ugly duckling" with one of main elementsbeing religion and bullying. The development of its production started with a really limited and low budget.
What type of feedback have you received so far?
Positive, people are interested in the development of the film, many times thinking the budget used for it was higher than it actually was.
Has the feedback surprised or challenged your point of view?
It was surprising that the response for people who watched it was great, because we didn't expect that much attention for something that started in a classroom.
What are you looking to achieve by having your film more visible on www.wearemovingstories.com?
We want to get a chance for people to know about our work, as well as to meet and admire others work.
Who do you need to come on board (producers, sales agents, buyers, distributors, film festival directors, journalists) to amplify this film's message?
We want to promote the local talent in the city of Tecate and Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. There are tons of talented people here that need to be discovered in a place where it looks like film making is not active.
What type of impact and/or reception would you like this film to have?
We expect to get young film makers inspired to create new concepts in a media as diverse as film making.
What's a key question that will help spark a debate or begin a conversation about this film?
A quote from the short better describes it: Since when do the duck's shoot at the shotguns?
Would you like to add anything else?
This project reflects the same story it's trying to tell, at the beginning not many belived the film could go far beyond a classroom, neither did they an approve it for making it possible, but it did, and now it is on at Short Film Corner Cannes 2016
What are the key creatives developing or working on now?
We are currently working on the exhibition of another short film named "The reward" by Marco Antonio Espinoza. And on preproduction of a feature film by the same director, named "Rafa de Tijuana".
