Drills to Learn to Palm a Basketball
Palming the ball, according to basketball's rules, is when you place your hand under the ball and carry it while dribbling -- a violation of the rules. But in casual use it refers to squeezing and holding the ball with one hand, a legal move which will help you handle it with greater confidence. Drills to learn this skill will focus on increasing your finger and grip strength.
Palm Slaps
Palm slaps develop strength in your hands and grip. Hold the ball in one hand and slam it into the palm of the other. As the ball slaps your palm, simultaneously squeeze it as hard as you can. Slap it into your other palm. Complete 20 slaps on each hand.
Pushups on your Fingertips
Pushups on your fingertips increases finger strength. From a pushup position, rise up onto your finger tips. Maintain this position with your hands as you perform 10 pushups. If necessary, try them from your knees first.
Plate Pinches
Pinch the edge of a weighted plate in each hand. Hold the plates down by your sides and walk around the gym. Start with 10-pound plates, and then bump it up as strength develops. You can also squeeze multiple 10-pound plates between your fingers.
Aluminum Can Holds
Improve grip strength by squeezing weighted aluminum cans. Fill an empty 14-ounce aluminum coffee can with rocks, nuts and bolts. Grip the can and hold it out in front of you for as long as you can. Perform the exercise on each hand.

Five Tips for Keeper League Ownersposted by Unknown
- Don't Focus on Just Minor Leaguers - Many owners convince themselves they are running the Pittsburgh Pirates and enter a continual state of re-building. They trade their studs at the end of every season for a collection of minor leaguers and fresh call-ups. In fantasy you can re-build just as well (if not better) with a $8 Aaron Harang (yes, I like him this season) as you can with a $10 Wade Davis.
- At Value Players and Minor Bargains Can be the Best Keepers - Your $40 Albert Pujols or $35 Chase Utley is often a much better keeper than your $3 James Loney (I like him too) or your $7 Brian Roberts (one of my favorites). The value of a player is much more important than his price.
- Cheap Does Not Equal Keeper - Although we all hope that our one dollar relievers turn into closers and our $2 utility player earns a starting job but it rarely happens that way. Just because that utility guy hit .280 with 8 homeruns in just 200 at-bats does not mean that you should keep him. If at all possible you want to preserve the opportunity to draft a full-time starter in every spot.
- Roster Spots are like Gold - I have watched tons of owners treat their Corner Infielder Middle Infielder, and Utility positions as if they were not important. They bid aggressively at the auction and build reputations as tough traders only to waste spots on Geoff Blum (because he inspires poetry), Doug Mientkiewicz (because they like his name) and Eric Gagne (because he used to be your favorite player).
- This Season is Most Important - Sure, it is nice to imagine creating a dynasty with your large collection of cheap young players. But if you are considering tossing your $6 Ryan Franklin back into the draft because your think your $5 Chris Perez is the next closer for the Indians, you really need to think again. Play for this year, keep the future in mind, but the future should always be second to this season's chance at fantasy gold.

Barcelona Batega Campaign
9 comments:
You know, city councils really need to spend money somehow to have the sense of being doing something. Maybe they chose the heart because it looks like a B & also conveys the idea of a lively, beating city... and a little poorer after the campaign.ReplyDelete
By the way, what does "batega" mean? My catalan is not very good, I'm afraid... Promise to buy a dictionary soon ;)
>Thanks David, great photos!ReplyDelete
>You are right Marieta
>Thanks Rajesh
>Carmen, thanks for reminding me!B is for Barcelona, of course. (I had a previous post where I explained all that but forgot to link back to it. Very important I did not translate "batega". Well, for you and for every one: "bategar", means "to beat" or "latir" in Spanish. Thanks again Carmen.
nice selection of colors...and really beautiful tower:-) great shotReplyDelete
That branding campaign is surprisingly similar to Atlanta's current undertaking. The one difference, Atlanta has spent over 14 million already and it is a flop according to the art and design community!ReplyDelete

Ratings for Dr. Jeffrey N. Higginbotham
If you feel stuck with Advanced Pain Care Round Rock, look no further. Dr. Higginbotham is the doctor to go. Waiting on your turn is typical at a doctor's visit...but unlike Advanced Pain Care you will be seen in less than 20 minutes. Advanced pain care? Hours- to a day at the office which also gets very crowded. Really, there's more life after Advanced pain care.
Dr. Higgenbotham is a very caring and knowledgeable physician. He understands pain and how to treat it. I moved here from another state having to leave physicians who had treated me for over 20 years and he made me feel right at home and safe. It says a lot when you can find a physician who listens, understands, and treats the problem as quickly as possible.
Dr. Higginbotham is extremely caring and actually listens to your needs when you are meeting with him. I was going to knock him a star for punctuality, but I realized that his consultations usually run a little long because he wants to know your case inside and out. He's a believer in exercise/functional mobility and using prescriptions as a way to supplement your quality of life. Dr. Higginbotham wants you to live a long healthy and manageable life and does not give unrealistic expectations. I would recommend him to people who want to actually manage their pain and get better.
Dr. Higginbotham is honestly one of the best doctors in the world! I have constant uncontrollable pain and he has been very understanding, helpful, and compassionate. He talks with me like I am a friend and has helped me tremendously! I would recommend him to anybody that has uncontrollable pain like I do! I hope Dr. Higginbotham is my doctor for a very long time.
Finding Dr. Higginbotham and Richard Todd have been a true blessing! I'd worked with Richard at a different pain management place and was devistated when I was told that he no longer was there, now I thank them for what they did, had they not done what they did I wouldn't have found Dr. Higginbotham and Richard as well. My first meeting with Dr. Higginbotham was beyond my expectations. He's a very caring, gentle, understanding, comfortable doctor to talk with. He and his staff are well beyond what I ever could have imagined and I'm grateful for having found such a wonderful doctor and PAC and staff to help me manage this unrelenting pain!
He is very knowledgeable and up to date procedures. He takes the time to listen to problems unlike many doctors I've gone to. I would recomend him to my friends. A really great doctor.

Big Jimmy is growing up fast. Big Jimmy is leaving Rockville HS. Big Jimmy's gonna be new in town when he gets to Richmond, Indiana.
Why did you post that article? 99% of it is about he is actually way older than he was supposed to be and that his handler is skeezy as hell.
While I wish the "young" man nothing but the best, I am certainly not one of his hype men. I leave those roles to scumbags like Joe Boncore.
Is it cool if I still laugh then as well? I harbor no ill-will towards the not-so-young man and hope it makes it to the NBA. It's his swarmy handlers like Joe Boncore (who I assume you are) who I am laughing about. Folks like him will remain comical to me long after Big Jimmy makes it to the NBA or becomes a successful brain surgeon (or whatever he ends up doing).
What's wrong with helping someone get to the NBA? Do you want to see photos of where he lived 3 years ago?
Where did you grow up NewDC_Jon? Probably a rich private school. Your parents were probably your handlers. Yes, I have an interest in seeing Big Jimmy do well, but I will benefit no more than your rich mommy and daddy did. Don't be a hater.
Folks like Joe Boncore do kids like James Sorunke nothing but a massive disservice. It is a shame really. At least the folks who backdoored Junior Etou into DJO kept it under the radar and let Junior's skills do all the talking. Sorunke being overhyped by swarmy, poorly-intentioned handlers do no one any favors besides the handlers.

How Avaya IP Office can help you modernise your communications
The communications industry has changed dramatically over the past five years, thanks to the proliferation of cloud-based applications, web conferencing and the Internet of Things.
As the IT landscape has evolved, so has the underlying communications platform — and that's having an impact on customer service.
Like many of our existing Avaya customers, the communications platform you rolled out several years ago continues to operate with the performance you've come to rely on.
But your business — and your customers — has changed dramatically over the past five years.
The demand for instant communication and collaboration is no longer a nice-to-have, but a must-have for enabling employees and making fast business decisions. Winning business means serving your customers in the way they want to be served — and faster than your competitors can. This is the new normal.
Perhaps you've already integrated voice, video, data and web communication applications and services to your team. But you may not be aware of the newer collaboration capabilities, applications and customer services available to you.
Every person these days has a smartphone in their pocket, so how can you leverage those smartphones in day-to-day business communications? Empowering mobile, remote and office workers to better engage with customers, suppliers and colleagues allows them to deliver more, and deliver it faster.
By modernising your infrastructure, you'll be able to connect any employee, anywhere, and that means improving customer service and reducing costs — which can also translate into increases in revenue and profits.
Why modernise to Avaya IP Office 10 now?
Still, as a business owner or manager, you already have your hands full. Why add a modernisation project to your to-do list? After all, if it's not broken, why fix it?
Here are a few reasons to consider on making the move to modernisation:
- Your communications infrastructure has grown, but you have fewer people on staff to handle it (or perhaps no one to handle it). Their employees need to work remotely, but their organisation simply can't support it.
- Your original communications solution was designed for making calls and taking messages. It can't handle the needs of digital nomads.
- Your employees need to work remotely, but your organisation simply can't support it.
- You're spending more per month on maintaining a legacy solution than you would on a monthly cloud subscription.
Every technology has a useful life. Your technology may still be working the way it was intended, but newer technology continues to evolve, delivering efficiencies, productivity and cost-savings that can far outweigh the value of keeping the old system.
A modern Unified Communications (UC) system can also provide easier management, since it requires less maintenance. Think of it like an old sports car. You love the car, but it's becoming hard to find parts for it, making it expensive and time-consuming to keep it on the road. It's the same thing with technology. So, it may be time to trade up that sports car to a newer model.
Consider your goals. Maybe you want to enable mobile employees to work more effectively, or help team members engage more productively. Perhaps you're looking for greater system resiliency, to simplify your administrative requirements or to deliver a better customer experience. Or maybe you simply want to lower your operating costs. A modern communications platform can help you reach those goals.
About Avaya IP Office 10
As one of the top-selling solutions on the market today — it is designed to be directly integrated into your business and deliver bottom-line business benefits, such as streamlining operations, cutting costs, simplifying hiring and property decisions, and enhancing customer service.
The advances which Avaya has made in communications and collaboration have helped hundreds of thousands of Avaya customers change the way their businesses operate and perform, delivering tangible benefits such as:
- better serving more customers while managing their bottom line
- enabling employees to engage with colleagues wherever they're working
- collaborating in richer and more meaningful ways that drive better outcomes.
Avaya continues to evolve the IP Office system with Release 10, which supports up to 3,000 users, providing unified communications capabilities such as mobility for any device, and is available using the same code base as a premises-based, pure cloud and hybrid deployments, with significant advances in security and resiliency, particularly for those that are interested in evolving to cloud, and significant user experience enhancements.
With Avaya IP Office 10, it is even more feasible for companies to start moving to cloud — without the typical concerns around security and resiliency.
For increased security, Avaya built in media encryption between end points to preserve data privacy and integrity, which is especially significant for cloud deployments (and that's not something you find in many SMB offerings).
For resiliency, Avaya IP Office 10 offers four different types of failover: cloud-to- premises; premises-to-cloud; cloud-to- cloud; and premises-to-premises.
Avaya has also enhanced the user experience by introducing the H175 videophone, and streamlined and strengthened virtual meeting functions with WebRTC.
Going cloud
Cloud may be a buzzword, but there's a reason it's so popular: it's a deployment option that offers built-in resiliency, security and ease of management, for a simple monthly subscription fee.
For SMBs that already have a premises-based system, hybrid cloud allows them to evolve to cloud in a more manageable way — retaining the investment in their system, while adding enhancements as new features and capabilities become available.
Ray Boggs, Vice President/SMB research with IDC, says:
SMBs are increasingly interested in cloud solutions, but are at different stages of adoption: some are all in, some prefer on-premise, some are in between. Avaya offers a choice with the same code base and performance regardless of deployment approach. And just as important, security capabilities are baked in, not just optional. Avaya's message of security, flexibility and performance will resonate with SMBs.
Avaya IP Office 10 is offered as a cloud, hybrid cloud or premises-based deployment through authorised channel partners.
Avaya uses the same code base for both cloud and premises deployments, which makes it easier for businesses to move to cloud at a more measured pace — adding new features and capabilities from the cloud as they become available and leveraging the investment they have in their premises deployment. Many companies will use cloud for a segment of the business — branch offices, for example, or particular employee functions such as salesforce mobility.
Despite the many benefits, some SMB owners and managers are concerned about the security, privacy and integrity of their data if they move to the cloud. Here's how Avaya has addressed those issues.
If you aren't ready to modernise your communications platform, the many security benefits are sure to get your attention. There's been a significant increase in cyber-attacks against SMBs. Why? Hackers see them as easy targets, since they often don't have the latest security tools, policies and procedures in place.
A recent PWC global survey found that the number of attacks reported by midsize companies increased 64% between 2013 and 2014, from 2,581 to 4, 227. That doesn't bode well for SMBs.
To address this, Avaya built encryption into the media and signalling stream between endpoints, which is a big deal for those interested in going cloud. Some of the pure cloud vendors don't do this, or may do it as an option, or it needs to be turned on by the customer.
With built-in signalling and media encryption for endpoints and UC clients, IT doesn't have to turn it on, nor does the business have to pay for another option that increases security. Plus, it helps preserve privacy and data integrity — critical in any deployment, but especially in those delivered through pure or hybrid cloud services. This unique feature in Avaya IP Office 10 is provided at no extra cost or added complexity.
Business outages can have a much greater impact on a small or midsize business than a large enterprise — causing financial or reputational loss, or even putting them out of business. Downtime costs a company an average of $5,600 per minute, according to research from The Ponemon Institute. And with an average reported incident length of 90 minutes, that adds up to a cost of $505,500.
With the latest version of Avaya IP Office, cloud and premises deployments serve to back each other up so business operations continue even if one or the other goes down, increasing resiliency of the system and business continuity.
This unique approach to resilience provides system failover cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to- premises, premises-to-cloud and premises-to- premises. Whatever the approach, the system stays active and users maintain connectivity — and maintain operation of their UC capabilities — throughout the outage.
Enhanced User Experience
To meet rising expectations for a richer, more streamlined experience from employees, suppliers, partners and customers, additional enhancements have been made around the user experience in Avaya IP Office 10 with:
- the roll out of the H175 videophone, with a seven-inch, hi-definition touch-screen display, which is suitable for both desktops and small conference rooms.
- the roll out of a brand-new, cost-effective Avaya IP Phone, the J129, which will work with IP Office and is ideal for location-based or walk- up use cases, such as lobbies, waiting areas, office cubicles and retail space.
- the opening up of a number of APIs to make it easier for developers to create WebRTC-based clients and to simplify configuration and deployment for partners.
- more streamlined and strengthened virtual meeting functions with WebRTC audio and richer web collaboration capabilities.
Avaya has also made it easier for users to communicate from within the business applications they use on a day-to-day basis. Through Avaya Communicator for Web, they can easily access Avaya collaboration tools such as voice, video, presence and instant messaging (IM) — from any cloud-based business application or Web page.
The solution communication-enables the CRM, email, social and other cloud business applications they use to get work done. Users can now integrate Voicemail Pro with Gmail to provide UMS features, which allows for seamless voice- mail messaging, without leaving Gmail.
Benefits of modernisation
Avaya IP Office 10 is more than a solution for making and taking calls. It brings all forms of communication together: phone, email, messaging, IM and mobile. It allows you to provide anytime, anywhere communications using just about any device, and becomes part of office workflows, from streamlining operations to cutting costs and making real estate decisions. Ultimately, this helps employees work from anywhere and better serve customers.
When you modernise your Avaya communications solution, you'll see enhancements in productivity and customer service, while reducing costs. You can cut travel expenses using powerful web-based collaboration tools, and reduce monthly calling costs through SIP trunking and routing international cellular calls through your Avaya system. The built-in audio conferencing can eliminate service provider fees, and use far less power. Many of our customers are able to re-use their existing phones for additional savings.
For IT staff, modernising your Avaya solution comes with bottom- line benefits — not the least of which is how simple and easy it is to manage the solution. Simple, web-based administration means you can quickly and easily make moves, adds and changes with point-and-click simplicity. You can also manage multiple sites from a single interface, with a fully redundant design and robust resiliency.

You can count on Japan to perpetually push the idea of robot pets -- and some of us are okay with that. Poochi is the latest effort from Sega Toys, and it can interact with with a downloadable app / mini-game on Nintendo's 3DS. This particular robot pet series has been on sale in Japan (and the US) for several years, but this is a notable evolution: the blue and pink pet substitutes communicate with 3DSes wirelessly, translating yips and barks into, well, Japanese. It sings (the way a cartoon robot dog should), and can even play rock-paper-scissors with you if you're feeling particularly lonely. Courtesy of the 3DS connection, there's several more mini-games and even a Nintendogs-ish interaction screen -- which is kind of confusing when the dog's right in front of you in real life. Poochi has sensors on its back, nose and tail, and there's handy color indicators on its face to indicate how it's feeling. The robot (and companion app) launches today, priced at 6,000 yen -- around $58. We've added the (surprisingly intense) TV ad after the break. We're still waiting on an alpha-male version.

Yes, I still use film. It is outdated, you're right, but I like the patience it instills: I have to trust myself that the picture came out, because I'm not going to see it for a while (almost a year, in some cases). Plus, with expired film, you get a dreamy, vintage feel, which is something I can get behind. Give me detail when it comes to tutorials or textbooks; otherwise, I want art.
Here are some pictures I recently got back from the developer. All were taken with expired slide film in New York. (I got back some from the South and from here in DC, but Blogger can only handle so much.) Unfortunately, my slide scanner gives everything a slightly reddish tint, so in order to get it back to the original I had to retouch with my computer (using Mac Preview! Hardly a photo finishing software). Sorry--this is a picture-heavy post--just a heads up!

Very ocassionally, you might get messages getting "crossed," but this is extremely rare. If you have an ongoing issue, then you need to do some digging:
1) Is user2 (the former employee) listed anywhere in any of your Address Book replicas? Don't forget groups which are not autogenerated and possible listings as a forwarding address or alias username in another person doc (like user1's).
2) Is there any relationship between user1 and user2? Do they have similar names, are they former co-workers, boss and admin or anything like that?
3) Is your system set up to look for "close matches" or "best guesses" for an ambiguous name, or will it only accept mail that matches an existing internal listing? If so, for some reason (possibly relating to my question 2), it could be seeing "user1" as the best available match for "user2."
These are good starting points. In general, Domino (or any system) should not be accepting emails for names it doesn't recognize. The question then becomes, where is the entry that is causing this name recognition?
Good luck!

Symphony of life: making music out of the human genome
Source: Gaurdian.co.uk
Michael Zev Gordon
Retrieved from: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/jun/24/dna-genome-music-michael-zev-gordon
Genetics and music are not the most obvious bed-fellows, but we are living in a time of unlikely couplings! Looking for common ground between art and science is increasingly popular, so when, in early 2009, I was asked to write a piece of music that would be part of a Wellcome Trust research project into the genetics of musical ability, I jumped at the chance, because the patterns of the human genome – made of a series of chemical "bases" that can be symbolised as four letters, A (Adenine), T (Thymine), C (Cytosine) and G (Guanine) – looked like chains of notes. It was perfect raw material.
It took me time to get my head around the science involved. Things crystallised when I began to map a segment of common sequence leading up to my chosen polymorphism – A, C and A on to the same musical note-names; then T – "ti' in the doh-re-mi solfège system – on to B, and so on. Adding a supple rhythm, I arrived, to my surprise, at something that sounded quite like plainsong: it became the initial gesture of the piece...
This relatively long article is written by "Michael Zev Gordon" about his experience in translating a part of DNA of Choir singers into music which is performed by them.
It has been a decade that some scientists and musicians are trying to show that each gene has its own music.
Aurora Sánchez Sousa, a microbiologist who specializes in fungi at Madrid's Ramón y Cajal Hospital is another scientist who translated DNA sequences into musical notation. Then her collaborator, French composer Richard Krull, set them to music.
There are some other links as well that you can hear the music of different genes. Here is for instance the link that you can download the music of Oxytocin's gene ( Oxytocin is a hormone that helps childbirth by inducing contraction in uterus muscle).
There are even some websites that you can order you own genome music! Take a look at this one: http://www.yourdnasong.com/

APIs allow you to share your application data with other developers (both internal and external) as well as other apps. As businesses continue to accelerate their API strategies, you as the application manager/owner have to make sure that your application is always secure and high-performing. Well-designed APIs that allow you to throttle API requests are what you need for better security and throughput.
What is API Throttling?
API throttling allows you to control the way an API is used. Throttling allows you to set permissions as to whether certain API calls are valid or not. Throttles indicate a temporary state, and are used to control the data that clients can access through an API. When a throttle is triggered, you can disconnect a user or just reduce the response rate. You can define a throttle at the application, API or user level.
As a developer, you have control over what applications and which users can use your APIs. Just like permissions, a combination of multiple throttles may be used on a single request. You can even have multiple levels of throttling based on the user. For example, you can restrict sensitive information from external developers, while giving access to the same for internal developers.
Why Do You Need Throttling?
- APIs are a gateway to your backend resources and throttling offers you an extra layer of protection for those resources.
- You can deliver consistent applications by making sure that a single client is not suffocating your applications. Enhanced performance will drastically improve the end-user experience.
- You can control user authentication and access by rate limiting APIs at various levels—resource, API or application.
- You can design a robust API that can be leveraged by multiple groups based on their access level. Simplified API monitoring and maintenance can help reduce your costs.
What are the Types of Throttling?
Enterprises custom throttle their APIs based on the needs of their organization such as monetization, authentication, security, governance, performance, availability, etc. Here are some general throttling strategies adopted by the industry today to help you decide what your API needs:
- Rate-Limit Throttling: This is a simple throttle that enables the requests to pass through until a limit is reached for a time interval. A throttle may be incremented by a count of requests, size of a payload or it can be based on content; for example, a throttle can be based on order totals. This is also known as the API burst limit or the API peak limit.
- IP-level Throttling: You can make your API accessible only to a certain list of whitelisted IP addresses. You can also limit the number of requests sent by a certain client IP.
- Scope Limit Throttling: Based on the classification of a user, you can restrict access to specific parts of the API—certain methods, functions or procedures. Implementing scope limits can help you leverage the same API across different departments in the organization.
- Concurrent Connections Limit: Sometimes your application cannot respond to more than a certain number of connections. In such cases, you need to limit the number of connections from a user/account to make sure that other users don't face a DoS (Denial of Service) error. This kind of throttling also helps secure your application against malicious cyber-attacks.
- Resource-level Throttling (also referred to as Hard Throttling): If a certain query returns a large result set, you can throttle the request so that your SQL engine limits the number of rows returned by using conditions attributes like TOP, SKIP, SQL_ATTR_MAX_ROWS, etc.
- Tiers of Throttling: Throttling can be applied at multiple levels in your organization:
- API-level throttling
- Application-level throttling
- User-level throttling
- Account-level throttling
How to Throttle an API / Query
Throttling your API is an extremely sensitive process and it can have a huge impact on customer satisfaction, application performance and security. For that reason, I recommend you use our commercial enterprise solutions that have inherent support for throttling:
- Hybrid Data Pipeline: offers throttled ODBC, JDBC and OData APIs for popular databases such as IBM DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SAP Sybase, Hadoop Hive, Salesforce, Google Analytics and many more. To find out more details, you can check out our blog post on Hybrid Data Pipeline's throttling capabilities. Furthermore, OData has built-in functions such as $count, $top and $skip to filter the query results passed back to a client. In turn, pagination can help in avoiding throttling restrictions and possible performance degradation. You can learn more about OData here.
- OpenAccess SDK: In other cases where you have proprietary enterprise APIs, you can leverage our OpenAccess SDK to deploy a standard SQL interface—ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET or OLE-DB. The SDK supports several throttling capabilities to meet your API throttling needs. The best part of OpenAccess is that it can easily integrate with your existing security and authentication systems, so it can serve as a true extra layer of protection for your enterprise APIs and the underlying backend resources.
As both these products are extremely unique and powerful, I highly recommend that you discuss your throttling needs with our product experts. Happy throttling!Talk to a product expert now

Guardian writers' predictions: 4th Odds to win league: 10-1
Perhaps the best way to encapsulate what has happened at Manchester City this summer is to remind ourselves that this time 10 years ago their supporters were still rejoicing the Paul Dickov goal that had grabbed the club by its shirt collar and saved them from the ignominy of another season among the hoi polloi of the old third division. Those days can feel like a trick of the imagination when the modern-day City are happy to spend £100m-plus in a single summer, but their fans will not need reminding of what it was like back in the days when their club reeked of poverty and bad organisation.
Joe Royle, the manager back then, tells one story of discovering there was no hot water in the dressing-room showers and bringing it up with the maintenance guy only to be told it had been like that for years. Niall Quinn, the former player, remembers signing from Arsenal and discovering City "hated spending money", so much so they were reluctant even to give him any boots. "At Arsenal, if there was a hole in your sock you weren't allowed to wear it. At training, no Arsenal player could go out wearing a sock with a hole in it. Socks with holes were not the Arsenal way. No sir! But the Manchester City I joined was a hole-in-the-sock sort of club."
August was once a time when City's supporters would get together, bristle with indignity, and complain bitterly about how much money the dreaded enemy, Manchester United, were spending. Now the talk is of who is coming next, of whether the club can break into the Champions League and, after that, how long it will be before they can win it. OK, that might still be some way in the future, and nobody should really expect them to be too close to United this season. But, at the current rate of growth, it is tempting to wonder whether Sir Alex Ferguson is being totally genuine when he says he could not care less about a club that, funnily enough, he does not seem to be able to stop talking about.
Ferguson used to speak of City in the kind of slightly patronising way someone might refer to a little cousin. He would call the City of Manchester stadium the "Temple of Doom" and if a City-supporting journalist turned up at his press conference he would teasingly offer them painkillers or a dark room to have some time alone.
Now, whether Ferguson likes it or not, we are back to the days when there are two clubs in Manchester who count. Money talks and, for City, it has said goodbye to the days when they were made to feel like second-class citizens. Anyone who wants to argue the point need only look at who Barcelona asked to be the opposition for the Joan Gamper Trophy on Wednesday week, their annual gala match in honour of the club's former chairman and founding player. A small thing, maybe, but it is another indication of how City are now being seen by Europe's top clubs. As is the fact that Ferguson has begun to talk about United's neighbours with the kind of spite that he used to reserve for Arsène Wenger and, more recently, Rafael Benítez.
Not that Ferguson is alone, of course. Hughes and his colleagues have become wearily accustomed to the frequency with which the club, together with Real Madrid, have been accused of "destroying football". Football's fear and loathing would like us to believe they have "no class", that they are the kind of lottery winner who would be chewing gum as they swigged from a beaker of warm champagne. Even one of their own, Colin Shindler, the author of Manchester United Ruined My Life, got in on the act recently, complaining that the club he loved had lost its soul. "This Abu Dhabi lot have got money, but that's all they've got. They've taken my love who Shinawatra turned into a whore, cloaked her in the finest of silk dresses and doused her in the most seductive of Arabian fragrances. I don't recognise her any longer. She might look beautiful but she's rotten at the core."
And then there are the myths. A columnist in the Daily Telegraph last week sniped that City would play Blackburn Rovers next weekend with a goalkeeper and 10 strikers. For the record, City have assembled five centre-forwards – Roque Santa Cruz, Craig Bellamy, Carlos Tevez, Emmanuel Adebayor and Benjani Mwaruwari. Of those, Benjani is up for sale and Hughes has already said Bellamy and Santa Cruz cannot be expected to play three times a week given their injury history.
Hughes has spent £94m so far on Santa Cruz (£17m), Tevez (£25m), Adebayor (£25m), Gareth Barry (£12m) and Kolo Touré (£15m) and a few of those players do look overpriced but at the same time the manager is entitled to reflect on "an exceptional summer" and the five major signings all should play an important role. Adebayor and Touré, for example, both have plenty to prove after disappointing seasons for Arsenal. Touré, like Barry, is a candidate to take over from Richard Dunne as captain if, as expected, the next buy is a replacement for the four-times player of the year. As for Tevez, it might be true that Ferguson made him United's fourth-choice striker last season but, even so, it has been amazing how so many Old Trafford matchgoers appear to have forgotten about the "sign him up" campaign and now convinced themselves he had the worst first touch they have ever seen.
Ah, the critics say, but what about the ghastly Garry Cook and all that Americanised claptrap he came out with after moving to the club from his marketing position at Nike headquarters in Portland, Oregon? Except if Cook's record at City were applied to perhaps any other business you would acknowledge his achievements. His jargon will always jar with some people and, by his own admission, he said far too much early on, in particular that critique of the former owner Thaksin Shinawatra – "Is he a nice guy? Yes. Is he a great guy to play golf with? Yes. Does he have plenty of money to run a football club? Yes. I really care only about those three things" – when the former prime minister of Thailand was on Human Rights Watch's Most Wanted list.
But perhaps it is time to recognise some of his other work and the way piece by piece, as his staff will attest, he has brought a new era of professionalism to the club. In total, more than £20m has been spent on the club's infrastructure. A new £4m office block has just opened to bring the staff from beneath the stadium into daylight. Drive into Carrington now and a once-drab training ground has transformed into a tree-lined state-of-the-art facility. Touré was so impressed he asked to have a solo training session at 9pm on the night he arrived to sign his contract.
Some will never be convinced, of course. But this is what happens when people come into new money and are not afraid to show it off. There will always be someone else who wants to scrape a key down the side of the shiny new 4 by 4.
Ferguson could barely contain his anger when he discovered that City had put up a "Welcome to Manchester" billboard at one end of Deansgate, in the city centre, to celebrate Tevez's switch from United to City. Nobody can escape the fact it was a deliberate pot-shot at United but, then again, Ferguson's response succeeded only in opening himself to a charge of hypocrisy. Hughes, in contrast, handled the matter with great skill, casually pointing out that there is a banner permanently in place at Old Trafford that mocks City's lack of silverware. "33 Years" started off as "26 Years" when it was put in place in 2002 and has interchangeable numbers so it can be altered before every season.
Hughes might also have pointed out that Ferguson should have chosen his words more carefully before branding them a "small club with a small mentality". After all, did he not accuse Benítez of showing "contempt" and "arrogance" towards the end of last season for talking in similar terms about Everton. Double-standards? Never.
The truth is that Sheikh Mansour and the rest of the Abu Dhabi United Group have been impeccable owners so far, demonstrating patience, thought and intelligence – and not just saying they had belief in Hughes but actually meaning it.
Shindler might think the soul of the club has been lost. Others would argue that the fans' engagement with the club is as strong as it has been for many years. Last season, when City reached the Uefa Cup quarter-finals, the club let everyone in for a fiver. Last week, there were 10,000 people at the stadium for an open training session. The fans are not an afterthought at City, like they are at some clubs (and once were under a previous regime). Early in his time in Manchester, Cook watched one supporter trudging away from the ground, soaked to the skin, after queueing for a ticket. There is now a new ticket office, complete with a roof.
"There is so much more to the soul of Manchester City than the money men," Jack Pitt-Brooke wrote on his City website, The Lonesome Death of Roy Carroll, in response to Shindler's comments. "If anything, they are merely the foundations, or the enablers, to allow the soul-carrying aspects of the club to exist. The Player of the Season last year was, for the first time in ages, someone City had raised and nurtured in our own academy. We have just given a five-year deal to a local lad we've raised ourselves, and who has it within him to be a great captain of the club. Then there's Micah Richards and Michael Johnson who, with a bit of focus, can still grow into City regulars. And the football itself is about to be better than anything I have seen in my lifetime."
In: Carlos Tevez (unattached, £25m), Emmanuel Adebayor (Arsenal, £25m), Roque Santa Cruz (Blackburn, £17m), Kolo Touré (Arsenal, £14m), Gareth Barry (Aston Villa, £12m), Stuart Taylor (Aston Villa, free).
Out: Elano (Galatasaray, undisclosed), Ched Evans (Sheff Utd, £3m), Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea, undisclosed), Jô (Everton, loan), Felipe Caicedo (Sporting Lisbon, loan), Joe Hart (Birmingham, loan), Shaleum Logan (Tranmere, loan), Darius Vassell (Ankaragucu, free), Dietmar Hamann (released), Michael Ball (released), Danny Mills (released), Richard Martin (released), Angelos Tsiaklis (released).

Songstress Kelly Rowland celebrated the launch of her new charity I Heart My Girlfriends by bringing out her own A-list entourage to the organization's kick-off bash at One Bal Harbour Resort and Spa last night.
"It's so nice to have my girlfriends' support," she gushed Sunday with pals Kim Kardashian, Serena Williams and Miss America Caressa Cameron by her side at the exclusive ocean-front property.
"Beyonce and Michelle [of Destiny's Child] really wanted to make it, but Michelle is on Broadway and Beyonce is, of course, a married woman. She will definitely be a part of I Heart My Girlfriends this year."
The former Destiny's Child singer whose recent single with DJ powerhouse David Guetta was a No. 1 hit said she started the charity -- which helps young girls with education and advocacy programs -- after having deep discussions with her girlfriends around a coffee table.
One of Rowland's biggest supporters, Lala Vasquez, was also on the red carpet to celebrate her Grammy Award-winning pal's charity. The TV personality and fiance of NBA star Carmelo Anthony wasn't shy about dishing on her weekend in the Magic City.
"It's unreal here," she said last night. "After this weekend, I swear. I just need to go to bed. I have been going to bed at 5 a.m. every night -- I never do that! It's very rare that my best friends -- Kim, Kelly and Serena -- are all in the same place. We had to go big."
She wouldn't, however, dish on Kim K's recent breakout with longtime beau Reggie Bush.
"My lips are sealed," Vasquez said. "All I know is she is fine. Kim is great, and I love her. That is all I know."

Reason 836 Why the U.S. is Dying and the Church is Already Dead.
It has come to my attention that there are Christians on Facebook that are advocating that we, as believers, need to be content with God's will to have Hussien Obama as our President. They actually advocate that because the man is in office that God wants him there and therefore his actions in office are the will of God!
So are we to take the Calvinist (Reform Theology) view of things, that man has no free will and God decides everything before time began. That men are only actors who have to live out what God has already set in stone as far as their decisions and outcomes. Therefore, it is God's will that Obama is in office and all of his liberal, progressive, communist ideologies are what God wills? Are we to give praise to God for the man the we have in office and give thanks that he is continually attacking the founding principles and documents of this country, because it is God's will?
Sooooo… because some fools, who call themselves believers, not only verbalizing this type of doctrine they actually defend it, are we to sit on the sidelines and quietly say, amen? NO! As for me, I am to foolish for that.
Is there any precedent in scripture that can give any light to this notion that just because Obama is in office it is God's will? Well, there are two stories in scripture that I would like to bring to light. One describes a political leader coming to office, that was not in God's will. The other is about a man God put in office who DID NOT do what God wanted him to.
Our first story.
In I Samuel chapter 8 the people of Israel cry out for a king and Samuel being their judge is very disappointed in the people's desire. Up to this time Israel has been a theocracy. The people of Israel were governed by God Himself through the judges that God had appointed. It was the judges who ruled Israel through the direction and guidance of the Living God. But now the people wanted a king and it hit Samuel hard.
God had to set Samuel straight on the issue. Samuel thought the people where rejecting him, but God let him know they were not rejecting him, they were rejecting God as their King.
1Sa 8:6-7 KJV
But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD. (7) And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
The people understood what they were asking for and finally so did Samuel. They did not want God to rule over them anymore. They instead wanted to be like the rest of the nations around them and have a man rule over them.
In todays' Christian thinking, it is God's will for Israel to have a man as king over them and to no longer have God rule over them. Their theology is so shallow and perverted they think that because it simply happened, it must simply mean it is God's will, like so many false prophets and so-called words of the Lord.
So this brings into contrast what these ill-equipped theological prognosticators are attempting to put forth as a spiritual truth. Are we to assume that God wanted to have His people rebel in their hearts and reject Him as their King? Or is this one of many examples where man does not do the will of God? Doesn't this better serve as an example where a nation does not do the will of God?
Just because a man or woman may be in office does not mean that it is the will of God. We can see in this glaring example this is a case of men doing what they want in government and not heeding the will of God.
Now for our second story.
In I Kings chapter 11 Solomon had done evil in the eyes of the Lord and burned incense to other God's. Solomon was commanded by God not to go after other god's but he did not obey this command. So God was going to tear the kingdom from the house of David, only leaving Judah for the house of David.
Jeroboam was a man who God, through the prophet Ahijah, was told that God intended to give him ten tribes to rule over because of the sins of Solomon. God's will was to give to Jeroboam this kingdom and make a covenant with Jeroboam like He did with His servant David, if only Jeroboam would walk in the precepts of God like David did.
1Ki 11:37-38 KJV
And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel. (38) And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
What we read in scripture is Jeroboam essentially gave God the finger and did everything in his power to steer all ten tribes, known as Israel, away from the commandments of the Lord. Of course this resulted in God wiping all of Jeroboam's descendents off the face of the earth.
In today's Christian thinking, it is God's will for Jeroboam to lead all Israel after false gods. Their theology is so shallow and perverted they think that because it simply happened, it must simply mean it is God's will, like so many false prophets and so-called words of the Lord.
Not only does this story reveal men doing things completely out of the will of God while in office, so does the reason why God ripped Jacob in pieces in the first place. That would be Solomon not obeying the Lord and doing things he was commanded not to. Not only this, all the kings from Jeroboam all the way until the captivity of Israel serves as examples of men, who in office, would not do what was the will of the Lord. Judah, except for a few exceptional men, also followed in the footsteps of her sister Israel, in fact doing worse that Israel, until their captivity. The house of Jacob is a story of men in all stations of life, even that of government, not doing the will of the Lord.
So let's stop this nonsense about how things are the will of the Lord, even perversions of good government, justice and truth just because someone in political office does these the things. The doctrine of "simply happening, simply means it's God's will" especially in government is un-biblical. This kind of stupid thinking was the thinking of the false prophets and it did not save them from the terrible consequences of their choices and their sins!
True believers in the days of the Kings of Jacob needed to stand up for the Word of God and today true believers need to do the same, if we are to escape our own coming judgement. But unfortunately God's remnant was very small and people like false prophets more than the truth. Today is no different. This is reason 836 why the Church is dead and America is dying.

Sword canes: A relatively obscure weapon favored by blind Japanese feudal masseuse-vigilantes, or the greatest threat to aerial safety our nation has ever seen? I'm gonna err on the side of caution and go with the second one. Fortunately, the Transportation Security Administration is on it!
In this helpful instructional video — filled with the kind of cheerful music we expect for these sorts of things —a TSA officer explains that if you have a sweet-looking ancient cane you got at a garage sale, you may want to check that it doesn't conceal a badass sword.
Those are prohibited on planes. Duh.
This, of course, assumes that you didn't know you had a badass sword inside your cane. If you did, you're probably some sort of international assassin and thus more careful about this sort of thing. But for the rest of you, "Twist and Inspect!"
Hat tip to Roger Simon on Twitter!

Even those who are not interested in films will be aware that today is 'Back to the Future' day - the day that Marty McFly travelled to 30 years into the future, a future as yet unwritten but where he had to travel to protect his as yet unborn children.
Today on the media there has been a great deal of speculation about what things had been anticipated 30 years ago and were now common place (quiet cars, for example), which things had been imagined but had never appeared (flying cars, for example) and which things had arrived without any pre-invention so to speak (smart and not-so-smart phones).
There are two things which have not arrived that I wish we had:
- Marty has a jacket which regulates his temperature. Oh joy! I want one! I struggle with temperature regulation. Synthetic fabrics make this worse. Natural fabrics crush so easily. As we don't have Marty's jacket, I think that perhaps my only way forward is to use natural fabrics, appropriately underlined etc to reduce creasing. Or do you have a better way?
- Doc uses a face mask which is brilliant and totally changes his face and complexion. I'd like one of these too! One that would get rid of all my wrinkles - and would actually do it unlike so many products which promise but don't produce.

Our Mission
Whately Land Preservation is a community organization established by local residents to help preserve our towns rural character. Our farms and forests have sustained generations of townspeople who have worked these lands or enjoyed their bounty and beauty.
Yet, like so many other rural communities, Whately faces development pressurepressure that in other places has quickly turned forests into subdivisions and farmland into asphalt. Our mission is to work with land-owners to protect Whatelys most valued open spaces and natural resources for generations of residents to come.
Did You Know?
- Saving land saves money. Cows dont go to school and trees dont call 911, so an acre of farm or forest land typically requires only 37 cents in town services for every property tax dollar it contributes.1
- Residential development may grow the tax base, but it doesnt often pay for itself. On average, residential development requires $1.19 in town services (schools, roads, ambulance, etc.) for every dollar contributed in property taxes.1
- Whatelys land area is 13, 227 acres. Of this, 66% is forestland and 19% is farmland. Only 9% of the towns total land area is permanently protected from development.
- Whatelys natural areas support 10 state-listed rare species, including the Dwarf Wedgemussel, which is on the Federal endangered species list.
- In a 2006 survey of town residents, over 70% of those who responded said preserving farms and farmland is very important to them; more than 90% indicated that protecting drinking water supplies is very important.
1. Calculations are based on studies conducted by the American Farmland Trust.

Please help support Whately Land Preservation's efforts to maintain Whately's rural character, healthy environment, and pleasant living conditions
for future generations. Contributions to WLP will help fund our efforts to preserve farmland, forests, and open space. Learn more

These contractions
Surface skin stretches taut
Life writhes beneath
Earth labours to expel
Sodden Spring
Which is more alive?
you need to know when to fold,
when to halt the forward momentum.
The irony bleeds on blades of steel –
blooming is most profitable
when ground to a halt;
in the secret places,
seeds are knit from
crisping petals,
distended ovaries,
dried husks of youth.
Once the shell of beauty is ceremoniously cracked,
rendered useless,
torn limb from limb
in ferocious labour pains,
what spills from broken caskets is
Alive and Kicking…

POMONA, Calif. (Sept. 14, 2017) – The Caltech defense started strong at Pomona-Pitzer Colleges but the Beavers were unable to ovecome the Sagehens in Wednesday's men's soccer game.
Sophomore Theo Yang (Columbia, Md. / Long Reach) and freshman Gianfranco de Castro (Weston, Fla. / Cypress Bay) each accounted for one shot on goal and freshman keeper Joe Como (Glen Cove, N.Y. / Friends Acad.) anchored the Beavers in net with four saves. The Beavers did pressure the Sagehens late with all five of their corner kicks coming the second half. Meanwhile, Como and the defense held the Sagehens to just one goal in the game's first 59 minutes.
Head Coach Phil Murray and the Beavers will look to right the ship on Saturday when they face off with California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks.

The Battle
Some people cry
Others hold it in
But in the end
The Win
To cope with life
One needs the tools
To survive addiction
You are no fool
To start is tough
The walls need to come down
The fight is on to win
By using the tools
Your strength grows strong
To land that winning blow
One who tries
Is the one who wins
The spoils…Recovery
So try.
Someone once told me
That life is only what you make it
But I have another philosophy
And that is…
To live life as you want
And not to let anything stop you
If you try, you will do it
If you don't, then don't
But always remember that someone cares.
Self Confidence
This is something that everyone has
And others try and build
For some, it's a piece of cake
Others need help
This something I've had trouble with
Because I would always put myself down
And believed I couldn't
But it's changing due to many people
Friends are there for support
Family is my backbone
But most of all it's my heart
That continually shows me that I do.
The Drop-In
The Drop-In is a place
Where all are welcome
To have a meal
And a place to sleep
The Centre is a place
Where someone can find a friend
Someone that will listen
And give support
It's a place
Where you aren't judged
Where you're an equal
Where you're given a chance
The Drop-In is home
To the Homeless.
Finding Me
For many years
I've fallen down
A range of emotions
Were forced underground
My game was easy
So I thought
But in the end
All was lost
To cope with lfie
A challenge to save
I'm going to be O.K.
Just one day
Being away is my strength
Being honest my savior
Being me… Powerful.

The Northeast Delta Dental Foundation recently awarded a $10,000 grant to Concord Hospital as part of its ongoing commitment to help address oral health access issues. As part of the Benefactors Circle, Northeast Delta Dental has made a significant investment to foster a partnership which strengthens the Hospital's services and programs.
This gift helps Concord Hospital Family Health Center Dental Clinic purchase needed dental and denture supplies. The Dental Clinic provides a full range of dental care for teens and adults that are low-income, uninsured or Medicaid insured and cannot receive dental care in a private practice. In 2017, the Dental Clinic cared for 773 patients.
"The Northeast Delta Dental Foundation has been awarding grants to oral health programs in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont since 1995. There are so many compelling linkages between oral health and overall wellness that we appreciate the opportunity to support Concord Hospital as they work hard to make our community healthier," said Kathleen Walker, the Foundation's Treasurer.
Northeast Delta Dental administers dental benefits to more than 876,000 people in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, offering dental insurance programs for organizations of all sizes and individuals and families with no access to employer-sponsored dental benefits.
"Since 1999, Northeast Delta Dental has provided support to the Family Health Center Dental Clinic in order to help sustain its mission to improve the oral health of low-income teens and adults in the Concord region," said Robert P. Steigmeyer, Concord Hospital President/CEO. "In today's challenging healthcare climate we are grateful to organizations that understand the value of quality health care to all regardless of the ability to pay."

Mumbai: Student who lost battle with cancer, emerges winner in SSC exam
Shubham Gholap, who passed away last month from acute myeloid leukemia, scored 89.20 per cent in the SSC exams; boy juggled studies, sports, and chemotherapy
Fifteen-year-old Shubham Gholap might've lost his life to blood cancer but his SSC report card, which came one month after his death, displayed the boy's exemplary willpower, as he secured 89.20 per cent.
Also read: Despite gruelling battle against cancer, Pune teen scores 91 per cent
Shubham Gholap, during a practice session
The Kalyan resident and national level baseball player for the U-15 baseball team was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in October 2014 and spent the next eight months undergoing exhausting treatments at various hospitals in the city. However, that didn't stop him from appearing for the SSC exams.
Juggling studies and chemo sessions
Family members remember Gholap, who was a student of Sacred Heart High School in Kalyan as a cheerful youngster, filled with aspirations. "He could easily juggle his tasks, be it studies or games. We never saw him buried deep in his books or complain about his busy schedule which used to be filled with practice sessions, tuitions, homework and school.
Everybody in his school and family loved him," said Dhananjay Junnerkar, his uncle. Gholap's ailment came to light during the preliminary exams in October 2014, when he collapsed during an exam. Blood reports revealed that Gholap suffered from leukemia. The family immediately admitted him to Fortis Hospital, Mulund, where he was diagnosed with AML and was shifted to the ICCU of the hospital.
"There are two types of leukemia — chronic and acute. The patient already slips into M5 stage when AML develops into Acute Monocytic Leukemia. He also had high fever, which was a major cause of concern for us. He had to undergo chemotherapy ... But I must say, the boy remained positive throughout," said an oncologist at Fortis Hospital who treated Gholap, on condition of anonymity. Due to the mounting expenses, the family shifted Gholap from Fortis to another private hospital in Mandpeshwar, Borivali, where he continued chemotherapy.
Against all odds
His family and doctors where shocked when Gholap informed them that he wanted to appear for the SSC exams. "His parents were emotional. I spoke to the doctor and he clearly explained that Gholap's chances of surviving were minimal. Yet, he wanted to write the exams and we didn't stop him," said Ratnaprabha Junnerker, his aunt.
The family brought Gholap home so that he could go to the exam centre. Due to his deteriorating health and the IV drips he was put on, he was offered a writer by the board. "A surgery was scheduled on the same day as his Marathi exam and he requested that the surgery be scheduled in the evening so that he could attend the exam. When I saw that he scored 88/100 in Marathi, I could barely hold back my tears," said Dhananjay.
In the meanwhile, Gholap started consulting Dr Nilesh Suryavanshi, MD Ayurvedic medicine, at D Y Patil Hospital, Pune. "During the treatment, I never saw him lose patience or curse his luck," said Suryavanshi.
Although the family never informed Gholap about his ailment, he was aware about his condition. "While on one side he was throwing up blood, on the other side, he kept saying that we will distribute pedhas to the doctors post the results. Two days before his death, he looked at the sky and said he didn't want to die. I lied that nothing will happen to him, but on the night of May 10 at around 8.30 pm he breathed his last,' said Junnerkar.
The school organised a prayer to announce his success in the SSC exams last week. "We didn't know how to express our joy when we saw his results. His teeth were falling out, his memory was weak, he could barely walk and was away from school for eight months but he still achieved what he wanted to," said Ratnaprabha.
His family hopes that Gholap's story will encourage others to achieve their goals against all odds. "People will always remember him as the guy who fought the battle against cancer and won. Death didn't mean that he lost the fight — it was only a repercussion of his ailment. His victory was announced in the marks that he got," added Dhananjay.

Well, I was probably much like you...
Before I created the Flat ABS for Women Program, I suffered with low self-esteem and anxiety. I was in abusive relationships that killed my confidence leaving me to think that I was not pretty enough, skinny enough, or good enough to be in a happy relationship
This is me after going through the 90 Days of Flat ABS.
You see, I haven't always been in great shape…
Since I was 15 years old I have been trying out diets, weight loss, Lean Cuisines, Weight Watchers, The Cottage Cheese Diet, No Carbs, you name it and I did it!
I was also that girl who struggled with anxiety and panic attacks in my early 20's trying to figure out who I was and where I fit in this world because I was so not confident with how I looked.
I did everything I could to make my body "skinny enough" but I was doing it for all the wrong reasons. I thought I had to be perfect and go through extreme measure to look like one of these fitness models that we see on every magazine where in reality, striving for that kind of perfection made me miserable.
The picture you see above is after going through this Flat ABS For Women Program.
Look if you're like me (which I have a feeling we have a lot in common) and you can relate to the low self-esteem, anxiety, struggling with your body image, then it is time for you to make the change that you have been putting off.
Trust me. I get it! I have been through all of it too and I know how frustrating it is!
This is why I created a program made for women who want to flatten their stomach LOVE their BODY, and Have a Life and a Body that FITS YOU!
Getting Flat ABS really is easier than you think and the best part is you don't have to drive yourself crazy to get them or cut out your entire social life.
Here's the thing, women have been so brain washed and screwed up from the thousands of commercials, movies, magazine pictures, and pills out there that we have no idea what is the right or wrong thing to do!
I fell for all of this crap too and through my own personal struggles, trying every diet out there, going through anxiety, and divorce….. I decided enough was enough and created the Flat ABS for Women Program.
Changing Her Life
Progress at Week 4
Progress at Week 3
Husband & Wife, Brian & Danielle:
After Completing the 12 Week Transformation
Lost Over 100lbs!
"When I started my weight loss efforts I weighed 426 pounds. I had no energy, no motivation, very little self-confidence and no hope for a happy future. I've always had friends and been extremely personable but in retrospect, I used those positive attributes as a cover up for the unhappiness that filled my life. When I met Ashley she immediately made me feel comfortable. She greeted me with a sincere smile and positive attitude. I thought I would feel awkward and embarassed trying to do the exercises that she wanted me to but she always modified the movements to my abilities and comfort level. She also made me a meal plan and introduced me to healthier eating habits. I found myself enjoying different foods that I never would thought I would like!
With the help of Ashley's workouts, a healthier I now weigh 318 lbs. I have more energy and self confidence than I ever have in my life. Being able to lose over 100 pounds has showed me that nothing is impossible. It's hard work and I may get tired (mentally) every now and then but Ashley is a great motivator and friend. She believes in me and I know she won't let me stop believing in myself. Thanks Ashley, I'm looking forward to the next 100 lbs!"
Went from a size 12 to a size 6!
"... I was at the heaviest I had ever been in my life at 178lbs. I was determined to lose weight and had investigated different gyms and trainers, most of which were out of my price range. Then I found Ashley! She was very affordable and willing to work with my busy schedule. I started eating clean and working out with her at first two days a week then three. I had never lifted weights in my life and it had been years since I ran a mile. On one of my first workouts, I remember just walking a brisk quarter of a mile and getting winded, but in early December I ran my first 5k!!
I have lost 35lbs and went from a size 12 to a size 6. Ashley has not only helped me get started working out, but she has helped me to stick to it. It is so helpful to know another person is going to be meeting you and pushing you to do what you don't think you can do.
Ashley is very patient, understanding and encouraging. She mixes up each work out so I am not bored. One of my favourite things about Ashley is that she has never weighed me. She puts more emphasis on how I feel about myself and how healthy I am. It is freeing to not be looking at the scale every day. I truly thank God for her and how she has been with me on this journey to being healthy."
More Confidence, Energy and in the Best Shape Ever!
"Ashley is an amazing trainer! She works with you to meet your personal goals in a way that will work with your lifestyle. Ashley personalized a daily meal plan to my tastes as well as worked with me in the gym. She tailored a fitness plan to accomplish my personal goals. In my time with Ashley I got in great shape, became more healthy and self-confident! I would recommend her to anyone!! Her transformation program with ABS is incredible and has helped my confidence, energy and to tone my whole body!
Not only did Ashley work with me on a personal level, but has also become a good friend through all of the training, meal planning, and weight loss efforts!"
Lost 15lbs!
"I never thought my body would get to the size that it did through training and the workouts that Ashley provided. I dropped about 15lbs and my body feels firm and slim all over.
I feel stronger, more confident and am learning so much about my nutrition, healthy and what I am capable of through Ashley's training programs."
With years of coaching women on transforming their bodies and writing for numerous magazines on women's fitness, I have heard hundreds of women who struggle to change the way their body looks without feeling like they have to put their life on hold. I created this program to help you have a healthy workout schedule, a healthy and delicious eating plan that allows you to have a social life and enjoy your favorite foods along with the exact mindset tools you need to stay motivated and on track.
I am 100% confident that Flat ABS for Women will change your life and allow you to crush your weight loss and fitness goals if you have ever struggled with any of this:
You have probably considered hiring a personal trainer or a diet specialist to get your body where you want it so you know that it can cost you anywhere from $75 per hour to $250 per hour which means for just 12 weeks of workouts you would have to spend over $1,000! That means you would spend almost as much on your body as you would on your rent! That just isn't in the budget for most of us.
Plus, even if you did have that kind of money it's hard to find the RIGHT personal trainer who:
Personally, this is my passion of being able to help women just like you change their entire lives creating a body that makes them do a double take every time they walk past the mirror. I absolutely love building a relationship and a lasting connection with every single one of my coaching clients because I know the more I can help them have a body that fits their lifestyle and their goals then the more they can live a happy and fulfilled life.
None of the women you saw in the Proof above started out with the amazing bodies they have now. They made the commitment and allowed me to be their trusted coach to take them through building a body and a life that they love.
I want to help you create a body and life you love!
The investment you put into bettering yourself is a reflection of the amount of commitment you are making. It is always easy to forget about your goals when there is no real value at stake and it is always easy to flake on a workout when it is free. However, I know you are tired of not getting the results you want and I want you to be serious about making the commitment to making this change in your life. There are no payment plans and there are no refunds. I want you to be just as serious about the investment you are making in your body and your happiness as I am about helping you hit your goals, have a happy and fulfilling life.
You have full access to the recipes, nutrition, motivation that is on Ashley Drummonds along with over 50+ videos to show you what I am all about for Free!
I believe that this whole program will change your life mentally, physically, and spiritually. I believe in a program that feels Authentic and true to your life and your goals creating a balance that gives you your happiness and your confidence back with quick effective workouts, delicious meal planning including the wine, cheese and chocolate, inner strength and thought training and finding out how to falling absolutely head over heads in love.
Try Flat ABS For Women risk-free for 2 full months. If you are not absolutely thrilled for any reason (or no reason at all), just send me one email letting me know, and I'll refund your entire purchase price – no questions asked!
You can even keep the program as my gift for giving it a risk-free try.

Storm Force will know that there is a whole chapter in it about the appropriateness and normality of anger when facing storms of all kinds. Yet there is a good anger and a bad anger, a healthy anger and an unhealthy anger.
When I shared this picture with the group, one of them said that she was just going to read the verse Psalm 4:4 'Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still.' which is very similar to Paul's advice in Ephesians 4:26 'Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath'. So it seemed that the Holy Spirit was trying to get through to us. The well known Christian writer and quadriplegic Joni Eareckson Tada has said 'Any crisis is meant to awaken us to the reality of God, His nearness, His care, His presence and His ever-present help' yet in my experience it is so hard to hold on to that kind of perspective. My own battle with ill health is nothing compared to the conditions being faced right now by Christians in places like Iraq and Zimbabwe yet many of them have found it possible to keep trusting God in the most appalling circumstances and to remain hopeful and free from bitterness. I aspire to those great goals... but hey, am I alone in saying that going is tough? How should we respond?
A Place of Healing: Wrestling with the Mysteries of Suffering, Pain, and God's Sovereignty) As the group left our home last evening I felt more determined than ever to see God's perspective on yes even next week's trial, and to turn my fist into an open hand. How about you?

Raytheon Supports Naval Oceanographic Office
Raytheon Company (NYSE:RTN) has been awarded a task order to develop and support recertification of curricula through the Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center. This task order was issued under an existing U.S. Navy indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contract. The performance period is June 16, 2009, to March 31, 2010.
"We will review and revise existing course curricula for the education of junior officers of foreign navies in the essentials of hydrographic science," said Chuck Lambeck, the Raytheon Technical Services Company LLC program manager for the contract, managed in Pensacola, Fla.
"We are looking forward to working with Raytheon on this project, as they have a solid track record of producing high-quality training," said Mike DeCoux, the Navy contracting officer's representative.
