Are we overpopulated and taxing the planet's resources? Hell, yes, we are. And part of the problem is religion and what you call culture. Overpopulation is not a problem the western world has. It's a problem in the parts of the world than cling to antiquated fairy tale beliefs. You're quite right in that tossing money at certain segments of the world solves nothing. But sadly, we can't enforce a global education. We have to allow them to mess things up even though the entire world feels the consequences to some degree.
Your music is culture too. You know that right?

Product Description
NOTE: Superior does NOT contain rubber, so is NOT meant for use under smaller rugs that tend to slip. Instead, use Ultra Premium.
Superior Thick Felt Rug Pad
Your rugs and floors are about to be protected by the finest felt rug pad
"We simply can't make a better one. We perfected our Superior rug pad to surpass any other made today and that's because we can. Unlike others in the industry, we have full control of the production – from start to finish, our mills know we are watching and we will reject anything less than perfect – I personally guarantee it!
- Sam, the Rug Pad Man
You want natural! You want protection! You want comfort!
• NOT NON SLIP: Best used with rugs that do not tend to slip
• PROTECTION: Resists ALL penetration to your rugs and floor
• COMFORT: Enjoy a full 1/4″ or 3/8″ thickness
• FLOORS: Approved as SAFE for Hardwood, Laminate, Tile, Vinyl, Heated and all
• ORGANIC: CRI Green Label; No adhesives; Does not off-gas or smell
• R-VALUE: Thermal resistance level of 1.09 to allow heat transfer for radiant heat floors
• ORIGIN: Made in The USA with GENUINE American felt
*NOTE: Sizes wider than 12′ will be shipped as 2 pieces that are placed against each other under rug.
Superior and Radiant Heat Floors
There are two reasons that make Superior one of the only thick felt rug pads SAFE and EFFECTIVE for heated floors:
• It has an R-Value of 1.09, meaning it allows for the transfer of heat from the floor to the room
• It does not contain sticky adhesive, glue or any additives that can stick to the floor
Certified RPC Heat Pressed™
The RPC Heat Pressed™ rug pads are those few that are manufactured without glue or adhesive – Instead, we utilize an exclusive Heat Pressing to reinforce the felt, eliminating harmful glues and adhesives found in all others. Only rug pads by Rug Pad Corner are Certified RPC Heat Pressed™.
A full 40 ounce density prevents damage to any rug and floor
The ounces refer to the density level and Superior is as dense as they come. So, imagine 40 ounces of fiber are packed per every square yard of rug pad. And, we mean all fiber – others seem to throw in some air to save on costs, we don't. This means your Superior rug pad will retain its density for years of use. In terms of the density, you can step on the rug, run across it, even place the heaviest furniture on it – Superior actually prevents any of this pressure from penetrating through. This prevents wear and damage to the rug and floor.
Revolutionary Heat Pressing Process eliminates the use of adhesives
When the rug pad is manufactured, we must prevent the fibers from shedding. Most others contain a clear adhesive coating that dries and keeps the felt intact. Great, but this also causes damage to many floors and can off-gas. We utilize an intense Heat Pressing Process which is like ironing the felt together. While this costs us more and takes more time, it assures us that there will be no adhesive on your floor.
Have you ever had a rug pad stick to your floor, or one that caused a smell in the room? This is what the adhesive within a rug pad is responsible for. Whenever possible, it's best to choose a rug pad without any adhesive at all – that's what Superior rug pad is.
Top rated noise reduction rug pad
Superior is an excellent noise reduction rug pad. Floor noise occurs when the pressure of the impact hits the floor. Superior prevents this impact and absorbs the pressure that can cause the noise. It is readily used in apartments to prevent, reduce and eliminate any floor noise.
Green product – Hypoallergenic, mold/mildew resistant
Rug Pad Corner and our Superior are endorsed by the U.S. Green Building Council. We are proud to manufacture in the USA with clean, green, recycled American materials.
Top awards
We are proud to state that Superior continues to receive many awards for performance and construction. It is also Top Rated by various organizations. Read one at Rug Pad Retailers of America.
Rug Pad for a Cause
Superior Rug Pads contribute to Rug Pad for a Cause, a campaign committed to donating proceeds to The American Cancer Society, American Red Cross and St Jude Children's Hospital. A part of every order, regardless of size, is donated towards these charitable organizations.

Responsible Pet Boarding: Leaving Your Pets in Capable Hands
Going on a vacation? Tired of asking friends and family to watch your pets while you are away? Some dog owners forget that Hamilton New Jersey has some of the best and most progressive pet boarding services available. Far from being restrictive kennels, luxury pet boarding services like K9 Resorts offer greater peace of mind.
There are many drawbacks to relying on friends and family for responsible pet care. For one, friends and family start resenting you if you ask too many times. Even when they say yes, they might not be as enthusiastic about your pet as you would like and end up not providing the level of care and attention your dog deserves. Your dog needs more than just regular walks and feeding. Dogs need attention, and play time with other canines. You can only get this kind of service while you are on vacation when you use a pet boarding service in Hamilton NJ.
Another drawback of relying on friends and family is that they sometimes do not do a good job. Dogs are often neglected, their caregivers forgetting to feed or walk them. Sometimes it is not just the fault of your friend or family member. Circumstances arise, and your friend or family member might also get called away on duty and can no longer care for your dog. If you are away, there is nothing you can do. It is much better to place your pet in the loving hands of a reliable pet boarding service than to take any chances. Also, some dogs get anxious if they are left alone for long periods of time.
A pet boarding service provides your pet with around the clock reliable care. Pet boarding services have evolved to the point where they provide a level of sophistication and comfort that far surpasses what you might have expected. Check out the pet boarding services available in Hamilton NJ; you will be pleasantly surprised.

How do I book? Please send me an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject of "Plantalicious – Booking for August 17th" with your name, address, phone number and how many places you are booking. I will then send you a confirmation.
What should I bring? A hunger for food and knowledge! You can bring a note-pad and pen, although you will get copies of all of the recipes either on the day or emailed to you.
Will there be food to eat and drinks? Yes – we will have a light breakfast at the start of the session and then we will have lunch together at the end of the demonstration. There will be plenty of teas, coffee and water available throughout.
What will I be expected to do? Just enjoy the time – my goal is for you to go home armed with the confidence to cook more plant-based meals that will help you to lose weight and improve your health. Please ask lots of questions and be prepared to stir and taste things!
How do I find you? Here's a map – https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=65+Bishopsthorpe+Road,+London&hl=en&sll=51.528642,-0.101599&sspn=0.604029,1.783905&oq=65,+bishopsthorpe+&hnear=65+Bishopsthorpe+Rd,+London+SE26+4PA,+United+Kingdom&t=m&z=16
What's the nearest station? Sydenham is the nearest, an 8 min walk. There is also Lower Sydenham and the house is on the 75 bus route from Lewisham to East Croydon. Penge East is also close and you can take the 75 towards Lewisham and get off at Burghill Road, (the stop is next to my house).
Is there parking? There are no parking restrictions on Bishopsthorpe Road but please be aware of my neighbours. You can also park on Mayow Road.
Who is the host? My name is Barry Honeycombe, I have been a life-long yo-yo dieter and have recently been studying plant-based nutrition and gained a certificate from E-Cornell University. I love food and now blog about my plant-based food and recipes and my "personal journey" (gosh that sounds American – sorry). I am not an "expert", merely an enthusiastic amateur who is happy to share what I know and have learned.
Can you give me advice on my medical conditions? I do not have any medical training and therefore cannot give any advice. I can of course share my experience. I am new to this and I am learning all the time, I hope to learn from you too! If you have questions and queries, the best that I can do is to point you toward sources of materials and experts where you can acquire additional information that might be helpful.
What if I have food allergies? Please let me know at the time of booking if you have any food allergies or intolerances. We will not be using any meat, fish, diary etc., Please be aware that we will be using nuts.
Will you use everyday ingredients? I obviously do not know what you have in your cupboards at home! Most of what I use will be standard ingredients, although some might be unfamiliar such as tofu and nutritional yeast, some might be downright strange sounding such as vital wheat gluten and agar-agar. I will explain any I use and where you can obtain them.
Will you use any specialist equipment? I will be using common kitchen equipment, which most people have. I do have one piece of specialised equipment that I use a lot and will certainly use in the demonstrations. It's a very high-powered blender – A VitaMix. I use it a great deal and I will always explain how you can use a standard blender or a food processor instead. My VitaMix is the one thing that I would save if my house was flooded, probably ahead of my partner – I love it that much! (Only kidding).
What is a plant-based lifestyle? For me a plant-based lifestyle is first and foremost not a diet. This is a way of life that I have chosen for health reasons. I am not restricting myself to a certain number of points, green days, red spots or calories. I am aiming to simply eat more plant-based foods. My personal aim is 98% but this is an individual choice. So what constitutes a plant-based lifestyle? Firstly starches, (potatoes, rice, corn, grains and legumes), then vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. I choose not to eat anything with a face or a mother – ie., Meat, Fish, Dairy or derived products from these sources. I also do not use any added fats and eat wholegrains/wholefoods where possible. I am not a vegan and there are some significant differences between the two – see this article for details: http://happyherbivore.com/2013/07/what-is-plant-based-diet-difference-from-vegan/
Why are you charging? To cover the cost of the food for the day and my time. I'm not looking to make my fortune from this. My goal is to share my passion and to learn from the experience.
What's with the donation to charity? I thought that it would be a nice gesture to donate part of the money to a charity and as I am not a "pro" at these demonstrations, in fact, this is my first and you are my guinea pigs! I'm also trying to make the point that this lifestyle can be done on a budget and so the money will be donated to the Lewisham Borough Food Bank.
What happens if I cannot make it on the day? Things can happen, I understand that, but unless you cancel 48 hours in advance, I have to insist that you pay as I will have purchased the food for the day and it will be too late to fill your place with someone else.
If you've done this, how come you are still fat? I have only been plant-based for about 14 weeks and anyway this is a journey not a "silver bullet". I have lost about 28lbs over my time doing this and my primary reason is for my health and the weight loss is kind of a bonus that goes hand-in-hand with the improved health.
What's with the video camera? I may have some or all of the session videoed. This is partly for my own interest to see how it went and to see it from your perspective. I may also use some of the footage on my blog.
How and when do I pay you? You can either pay me (£25) before the date using my pay pal account. My email for my paypal account is firstname.lastname@example.com (You will need a paypal account yourself to do this) or you can pay me cash on the day. I would rather not accept cheques and cannot accept credit card payments.
I have other questions…. Then please ping me an email at email@example.com or leave a comment below.
See you on the 17th of August from 10am onwards!

A visionary jeweller – SunilKumar A M and SudheeshKumar AM, Goodwin Jewellers
In this changing world, it is necessary to have some visionary businessmen. The jewellery business has always been extremely vulnerable to the rapid economic changes. Only a visionary businessman can lead it effectively. It is an honour to introduce Sunil Kumar A M and Sudheesh Kumar AM, two businessmen who can be termed as visionary businessmen. Their brand, GoodWin, is now the household name. Apart from their core business, jewellery wholesale and retail, they have business in security installations and properly development sectors.
What is the rationale behind selecting the name, Goodwin, as the name of your business empire?
It was during my upper primary education days, I came across this term. One day our principal came to our class and gave an inspiring lecture on this term. Since that day, I started nourishing a dream of creating a business empire and giving the name 'Goodwin' to our business empire.
Who is your role model?
It is not fair to think in a way that a role model is necessary to do business fairly. Sometimes, once experience can be his role model.
What are the major difficulties that you faced during the earlier stages of the business?
According to our view, the troubles or hurdles which come across the career or business are not a big deal. We are confident enough to overcome any kind of hurdle come across our way. We consider it as a medicine enabling our brain to work more smarter.
Why diversification is important in building a stable business empire?
Diversification is a good practice. It is always good to do a different business along with your core business. But, before getting into a new business, one should learn its pros and cons thoroughly.
Our core business is the jewellery business. Along with our core business, we do business in sectors like the security equipment installations and developers.
What are the vision and goal of this empire?
Currently, our company's turnover is 340 cores. We aim to active a turnover of 1000 crores by 2020. In addition to that, we plan to take it further into 2000 cores by 2022. We follow a kind of planned growth process. Whatever we have envisaged during the year 2012 is flawlessly being implemented now.
Did your company receive any external capital fund or private equities?
No, we have not yet entertained any private capital offers. We fear that the external party's involvement might spoil our freedom.
Does your company wish to explore the potential of IPO? Why?
Yes. We consider it as a service. If we accept the money of public, we will give them profit and are responsible for doing that. We are a trustworthy and credible brand so people will find it safe to invest in this brand.
What are the strength and weakness of Goodwin?
Our staff members are our strength. We treat them as our family members.We have no weakness. But, when it comes to some small problems, sometimes the director board take some emotional stand and give some emotionally motivated statements.
Say few words about the activities of Goodwin Charitable Trust and company's Corporate Social Responsibility sector.
Whatever business we do and how much profit we gain, the ultimate satisfaction lies in the charity work that we opt to do voluntarily and selflessly.
How optimistic are you about the future? What are the future expansion plans of the company?
We believe that we are all employees and God is the sole owner of everything so he is one who can decide the future. We honestly do our duty by working hard. We have a sound expansion plan. We plan to unveil nearly 25 new showrooms in the near future. We are getting good support from the people.
What is more important, on your point of view? family or money
Both of them are equally important. But, the family is the core factor. It is necessary to have a supportive and caring family in order to run the business effectively.

David & Matt
Hello, We are David and Matthew!
We are a happily married couple with our adopted son, Sebastian. We are ready to grow our family again through the miracle of adoption.
Going through the adoption process once, being chosen and entrusted by the birth parents to raise their child, helped us to realize that we wanted to adopt again.
We met over 13 years ago and are fortunate to be in a stable and committed relationship that continues to grow and evolve each and every day. We both have always wanted children and are at a point in our lives, both personally and professionally, that we feel we can give children the unconditional love they deserve in a secure and hard working family.
We are financially stable and have excellent, flexible careers. We want to raise our children and watch them grow, as they learn about the world around them. We want to be able to pass along our family memories and traditions as well as create our own.
Our Story: We met 13 years ago in San Francisco when we were both having a night out with our friends. One of David's friends, Danny, pointed Matthew out to David.
We eventually bumped into each other that night and started talking and danced a little bit. We exchanged phone numbers that night and Matthew called David the following week. We planned a date for the next Sunday evening. From there, we hit it off and started dating and chatting on the phone all the time.
David proposed to Matthew in New Orleans while taking a romantic horse drawn carriage around the city.
We both always wanted the fairy tale wedding from our childhoods and we instantly knew where we wanted to get married and so we went about planning our dream wedding.
We were married on an absolutely gorgeous day, at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay, on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We were surrounded by our family and friends from nearby and as far away as Paris. It was the best day of our lives. We were the first gay couple to get married at the Ritz, which they were just as excited about as us.
Our wedding took place 8 years ago before gay marriage became legal but we didn't care, we wanted that commitment to each other. When gay marriage did become legal in California, we went to city hall and made it official.
Meet Matthew
Matthew by David: Matthew is a very loving and caring man. He also has a great dry sense of humor and will always make me smile with his quick comments.
He is also confident and intelligent. He is strong in areas where I am weak. He can decorate better than anyone I know. He is very calm and understanding.
Matthew is a very patient person. He will walk into the dining room with Sebastian hanging on to his shorts walking alongside him. He is able to juggle multiple tasks with Sebastian right there by his side, from watering the outdoor plants, to cleaning the house to doing laundry together.
Matthew is a fantastic Daddy. He selflessly puts Sebastian and his needs first. He instinctively knows what Sebastian needs or wants. From the beginning, Matthew has had the natural parent instinct on caring for and raising Sebastian. Our next child will be very fortunate to experience the same love and nurturing from him.
Matthew's Work I work in the Biotech Industry. I wear several hats at my company, handling everything from HR to IT to Facilities to Office Management. The ability to multi-task is definitely one of my strengths, which will come in handy once we welcome another child into our home.
While I don't directly treat or cure any patients, I feel very rewarded when a drug our company has been working on for years does get approved and makes a difference in someone's life. I work from home with a great group of people and a fantastic boss.
I have worked with my boss for over 10 years and have a great deal of respect for him. He is a firm believer in work / life balance and very flexible when it comes to getting the job done.
Meet David
David by Matthew: David is an amazing man, his sense of humor, his caring nature, his "go getter" attitude, his thoughtfulness, and his passion all amaze me. He has greatly broadened my world and had me experience so many things, that I may not have experienced if it wasn't for him.
He is a very strong willed and determined person that likes to get things done. He has been very successful in everything he has done.
He loves sports, especially soccer and basketball. He plays basketball several times a week, as much as he can. He is already working with Sebastian on his ball skills and will love to teach things to our next child.
David loves to cook and is so excited that Sebastian loves to eat just about everything, since Matthew is a picky eater.
David is an amazing Dadda. For being a big tough man, he has is a softy when it comes to Sebastian. He loves to play with Sebastian and get him toys (I think he is just as excited about playing with them as Sebastian is).
He often talks about all the things to do and places he wants to take Sebastian and our next child when they are old enough.
David's Work I work in the Sensor Industry selling pressure sensors to the Medical, Industrial, Semiconductor, Automotive, and Aerospace Industry.
I have been working in the Sensor Industry for over 20 years in various roles including: Customer Service, Engineering, Business Development, Product Management, Program Manager, and Vice President. My current and previous jobs over the past ten years allowed me to live in California working from my home office or nearby.
I travel globally for my company working with customers in Asia Pacific, Latin America, Europe, and throughout North America.
Sebastian and Our Thoughts on Parenting
Meet Sebastian: In 2013 we adopted our son Sebastian and welcomed him into our hearts and home. He is an amazing little boy full of energy and so inquisitive about everything.
While he is still too young to fully understand what adoption is, we do share stories of his adoption with him. We want him to understand how he came into our lives and how much his parents cared for him when they decided to choose us to adopt him.
Since adopting Sebastian, our lives have forever changed, in the best possible way. We love our precious son, we love being parents, and we love being a family.
We have so much love to offer our next child and can't wait to continue to grow our family through the gift of adoption. Sebastian can't wait to be a big brother!
On Parenting: We are ready to welcome another child into our home and give them the love and care they deserve from the bottom of our beings. We will raise them to be honest, compassionate, caring, hard working and appreciative, but most importantly to be happy.
We plan to expose them to all cultures and ethnicities, both locally and through foreign travel to experience things first hand. We want our children to grow up to be aware of the world around them and that anything is possible. We will encourage our children to try new things and not be scared of failure.
We will be supportive of our children, cheer them on in sporting events or after-school activities, help them with their education, and always be someone who will listen to them and help them make decisions.
Our Home and Travels
Our Home: We live in a comfortable, historic home, located in Northern California. We often open up our home to our family and friends for the holidays, celebrations, and get-togethers.
We spend many days and nights in our backyard, whether swimming in the pool, BBQing lunch or dinner, or just hanging out.
Our city has excellent schools within walking distance from our home and is one of the safest cities around. Our city is very open and diverse, as there are many major corporate headquarters here, with people from around the world.
Our home is conveniently located within short driving distance of many great attractions including the ocean, a large city, the mountains, and the countryside. We are within walking distance of the downtown, a library, and restaurants.
During the week, we take walks around the neighborhood and University campus and go to play in the nearby parks. Sebastian loves the swings.
On Saturday mornings, we walk over to the local farmers market and get our fruit and vegetables for the week. On weekends, we "scout" for the best playgrounds in the local area for when Sebastian gets older to maximize his playground experience.
We look forward to welcoming another child (as well as another stroller) into our out and about the neighborhood time.
Our Travels: We both love to travel – whether it is a one day getaway, a long weekend or a two week trip. We both have traveled the globe extensively for work. But the best trips have been the ones we have taken together.
We have traveled to the perfect beach paradise of Bora Bora, to the highest mountain range in the Andes, to the fabulous city of Paris, to historic London, to the town of Ceska Trebova, in the Czech Republic, where Matthew's Great-Grandfather spent the first 9 years of his life before immigrating to the US.
In the 13 years that we have been together, we have traveled to 15 countries as well as countless cities in the US. Every place we visit opens our eyes to what the world has to offer us and we leave with a little bit of knowledge, and whole lot of memories.
We have taken Sebastian on several trips already and look forward to being able to take our next child on many more trips as a family.
We want to expose our children to the vast cultures, ethnicities, histories, landscapes and possibilities that are out there.

The British Institute of Quality Assurance (IQA) draws attention to a new
independent Compass Research report 'Perking up British office workers'. The
results reveal the importance of social interaction and the human side of
working life such as communication and humour in the office. The report
concludes that humour and fun are alive and well in the British workplace, but
bosses need to lighten up at the office.
Psychologist Dr Alessandra Lemma comments: 'Work is vital to our mental health.
For most people, work is one of the best therapies available and one for which
we get paid. The survey offers some explanation for the important function of
work to our emotional well-being.'

Army Sgt. Bergdahl has been given a desk job at a Texas military base while he awaits the outcome of an investigation that could lead to disciplinary charges, Pentagon officials said Monday.
Six weeks after his release from Taliban captivity, Bergdahl, 28, was back on active duty and was being given "administrative type duties."
"Essentially, he'll be doing a desk job," said Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman.
Bergdahl nominally has been on active duty since his release on June 2, and "he remains on active duty" in his new job at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston in Texas, Warren said.
He is living at the non-commissioned officers' barracks and "is not restricted in any way" in his movements on the base, Warren said.
"He will now return to regular duty within the command where he can contribute to the mission," Tatjana Christian, a spokeswoman for the `Army, said in an e-mail. "The Army investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding the disappearance and capture of Bergdahl is still ongoing."
Throughout his captivity, Bergdahl was on the rolls of the 25th Infantry Division at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska but he is now assigned to U.S. Army North, Warren said.
Former members of Bergdahl's unit in Afghanistan have come forward since his release to charge that he voluntarily left his post.
The Army has named Maj. Gen. Kenneth Dahl to conduct an Article 15-6 investigation into the circumstances of Bergdahl leaving his post in Afghanistan's southeastern Paktika province on June 30, 2009.
Dahl, deputy commanding general of the Army's I Corps, was expected to complete his investigation in mid-August and make recommendations that could include disciplinary action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
The matter of Bergdahl's back pay, which could amount to more than $300,000, and other issues surrounding his five years as a captive will not be resolved at least until Dahl's investigation is complete, Warren said.
Much of the criticism of Bergdahl's release has centered on the prisoner exchange for five high-value Taliban detainees at the Guantanamo Naval Base.
Last week, letters from the five service chiefs were released showing that they backed the prisoner exchange while noting that they were not involved in the high-level negotiations that resulted in the release of the five Taliban prisoners to the Gulf state of Qatar.

Meet our new favorite salad! Persimmon Fennel Salad with Pomegranate Seeds and Hazelnuts. A guaranteed crowd pleaser with a wonderful balance of sweet and savory.
We love creating new salads and this Persimmon Fennel Salad with Pomegranate Seeds and Hazelnuts has become our new fall/winter favorite. During the colder months, when tomatoes aren't exactly sweet, and cucumbers are sort of watery and lack flavor, produce such as fennel, pomegranates and persimmons are staples in our fridge. And they are a great way to add a fresh component to our meals!
We enjoy fennel cooked or raw . Pomegranates? We're slightly obsessed with them. We pretty much add them to anything!! (we highly recommend you try our roasted cauliflower and chickpea salad !). Besides being juicy, delicious and stunning, pomegranates are high in antioxidants, vitamin C and rich in fiber. If you're not sure how to seed one, here's a video that will show you how to do it!
How To Seed a Pomegranate Video
As for persimmons, we used the Fuyu variety for this fennel salad. Fuyu persimmons look like an orange tomato and can be eaten while still hard. The Hachiya variety, on the other hand, is shaped like a large acorn and must be eaten when it's really, really soft and ripe. Otherwise, it will leave a very unpleasant, cotton-like sensation in your mouth. Watch how to peel and cut a Fuyu persimmon below!

You can serve this salad was a side dish, or add a protein make it a light lunch or dinner!

Blake Lively Shows Off Insane Post-Pregnancy Body on Instagram!by Tyler Johnson at .
It's only been 18 months since Blake Lively welcomed her second child, and yet somehow, she's rocking a summer body in February.
That may be almost impossible to believe but the actress posted photographic evidence on her Instagram page today:
"Turns out you can't lose the 61 lbs. you gained during pregnancy by just scrolling through Instagram and wondering why you don't look like all the bikini models," Lively captioned the pic.
"Thanks @donsaladino for kickin my A double S into shape. 10 months to gain, 14 months to lose. Feeling very proud."
Funny, in shape, and married to Deadpool?
"It's not fair!" we cry, as we wipe Trump-colored Cheeto dust on our threadbare pajama pants.
Yes, yes ... we know Blake has worked hard to get in such stellar shape, and we applaud her for it.
But what about those of us who don't want to work out, but still don't want an ounce of fat anywhere on our bodies?
You can see the predicament we're in!
Amazingly, this is not the first time Blake has hit the gym hard soon after bringing a child into the world
"After I had a kid I thought, 'Okay, this is what my body looks like. This is amazing — I earned this body,' " she said in 2016.
"'And it's not as good as it was before I had a kid, but, oh well.'"
Can we apply that mentality to eating one of every item on the Taco Bell menu in a single sitting?
It's not as hard as having a kid, but we're still proud of it, dammit!
Blake says that after her first kid, she was essentially forced to dedicate herself to nutrition and working out due to the fact that she was cast as a wetsuit-clad surfer in The Shallows.
"I've never been in that great a shape in my whole life," she said.
"So to do it after having a kid was actually really nice. Because you see your body after having a kid and it's beautiful because you just gave birth, but it's also 'Oh my god, this is not what my body looks like.' You feel like you're never going to get your body back again."
Okay ... there's our excuse.
We're never gonna be cast in a Hollywood movie, so it's okay for us to continue living the slovenly life.
We're feeling better already.
Anyone wanna split a pizza?

Church-backed Philippine human rights activists have reiterated their call on the UN Human Rights Council to "keep pursuing our government to stop the extra-judicial killings and other human rights violations". The UN body is meeting in Geneva until 18 June 2008.
On Tuesday 3 June, in an oral intervention before the UN, the International Association of Democratic Lawyers, the Asian Legal Resource Center, the World Council of Churches (WCC) and a Philippine NGO delegation commended and fully supported the findings presented by Phillip Alston, the UN Human Rights Council special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions.
Alston's report concluded that state security forces have been involved in many of the killings of left-wing activists, indigenous leaders, trade union and farmer leaders and civil society organization members and that the military remains in a 'state of denial' over these killings.
The human rights advocates reported 13 victims of extrajudicial killings and two victims of enforced disappearances this year alone. Many more were abducted, according to the statement. Military abuses have reportedly displaced thousands of villagers in Mindanao, Samar, Quezon and Negros islands. The independent human rights watchdog Karapatan has registered over 800 victims of extrajudicial killings since 2001.
The problem will not be solved, the human rights advocates affirmed, "unless the counter-insurgency policy changes and the other recommendations made by the special rapporteur are seriously carried out".
The WCC's long-standing support of the human rights engagement of churches in the Philippines was reaffirmed during the WCC general secretary's visit to the country last November. Already during previous sessions of the UN Human Rights Council, the WCC had helped Philippine human rights advocates to make their voices heard.

Short version:
PDXLAN is a mega-LAN Party event where up to 550 PC gamers bring their computers for up to four days to play video games. Gamers come from all over the United States and Canada to participate in fun contests, competitive tournaments, and sponsor presentations. Typical PDXLAN events also include up to $100,000 in sponsor prizes for the attendees. Check out an attendee-made video of an event here.
Long version:
The idea of PDXLAN started out in October 2002. Our first event was a 500 person LAN Party as described above with no prior experience. After the first event in July 2003 PDXLAN attendees quickly asked when the next event would be. PDXLAN announced that the second event would be in January of 2004. Shortly after PDXLAN 2, NVIDIA contacted PDXLAN to help run and organize "GeForce LAN" in San Francisco April 13th 2004. Shortly thereafter PDXLAN began running 4 events a year while taking on other event planning responsibilities for other companies.
In 2006 PDXLAN began hosting "Showdown LAN" for Maximum PC and PC Gamer. These 500 person LAN Parties were held from 2006 to 2009 in San Mateo California, San Jose California, Peoria Illinois, Indianapolis Illinois, and Worcester Massachusetts. Event consulting continued with PDXLAN hosting multiple events for NVIDIA, Booth work at Comic Con, PAX, and an AMD FAN day in 2013. To date our favorite event that we helped produce was GeForce LAN 2011 on the USS Hornet in Alameda California - a retired naval aircraft carrier. This venue was challenging, yet extremely awesome for the attendees.
Over the years PDXLAN has become one of the largest PC-Enthusiast communities in the United States. PDXLAN prides itself in charity work and it's down-to-earth community members that are always willing to lend a helping hand.
Charity Work:
PDXLAN began hosting charity events at it's LAN Parties in 2005. To date PDXLAN has raised over $100,000 and over 140,000 pounds of food for charity. PDXLAN also works with the NVIDIA Foundation which has helped with matching PDXLAN gamer contributions over the past decade.
Charities PDXLAN has worked with:
Expansion I
In 2007 PDXLAN expanded to include a charity event once per year named "PDX November" which focused on raising food for local shelters. The PDX November event has raised over 95,000 pounds of food over the past few years for local shelters, and over $50,000 in 2016 alone.
Expansion II
In 2012 PDXLAN began hosting "Vector LAN", a 21+ 250 person LAN Party focused on pure gaming. These events are held once per a year.
Expansion III
In June 2018 PDXLAN will be holding back-to-back summer events in an effort to fit more people into the LAN. The events will only be 4 days apart.

With his Krautrock-inspired alter ego Instruments of Science and Technology, Richard Swift has proven that his skills as a musician go far beyond his ability to manufacture pop from the mold of 1970s AM radio. In fact, Swift is proving himself to be quite an astute historian of music. If we learned anything from Music from the Films of R/Swift, it's how Swift re-imagines the genres in which he is immersed. His previous works have always shined the spotlight on forgotten sounds, as he casually updated the production and tweaked the melodies.
This strategy persists throughout Onasis I & II. A tribute to the garage- and surf-rock that ruled the beaches and 'burbs of the '50s, Onasis I & II also finds Swift toying with the lost art of rock in its simplest form. Don't mistake this as an interpretation of the syndicated radio show "Little Steven's Underground Garage" -- although, to be fair, there may not be an audience willing to give Onasis I & II a shot if not for the work of Steven Van Zandt's resurrection project.
Yet this double EP isn't just Swift exploring another neglected genre to educate the indie crowd, nor is it an attempt to keep garage rock rooted in the past. Onasis I is the refresher of rock's humble beginnings. Rabbit punches of distorted R&B envelope "Greaseball Blues," transforming the organic blues track into a quick explosion of frenzied solos and slicked hair. Zydeco-inspired "Du(M)B I" is built on a distant Wurlitzer and island beats before breaking down into a demonstration of power-drumming. Album opener "Knee-High Boogie Blues" serves as the rudimentary standard by demonstrating that no matter how simple the riff, it's the good time found inside the classics that fuels the creativity and exploration of modern music.
It isn't until the second disc, however, that Swift begins to leave the old behind for more modern interpretations of the rules of garage rock. "Dutch" finds Swift pounding out country ragtime amidst a backbeat built on garage rock's bluesy rhythms. Nothing compares to album-stopper "JLH." A ghostly tribute to John Lee Hooker, the track is primordial -- "JLH" is from the beginning of time. Swift crawls through the muck of blues to unearth a fossil so decrepit and mangled, it's unrecognizable. He digs deep to discover a gravelly voice to vanquish the dark closing in around him.
Onasis I & II serves its purpose well: to entertain, educate, and enlighten. Swift has cemented his legacy as music's proud historian. It makes no difference if he's inspired by Tin Pan Alley or the back alley; he is able to craft songs that speak to everyone beyond aesthetic pleasure. As you listen to Onasis I & II, it begins to dawn on you that this is more than just music: this is a piece of everyone's history. Garage rock was more than just a good time. It was about rebellion. Swift has recaptured that reckless abandon at the perfect moment in living history. Which brings us to Onasis I & II's ultimate lesson: history repeats itself.

Elite North Carolina Real Estate
Located just west of Charlotte in North Carolina is the lovely city of Asheville. Everyone who knows the Asheville of today calls it many different things; "a New Age Mecca," "Best Places to Reinvent Your Life," "Top 25 Art Destinations," and "Happiest City for Women" just to name a few.
The fact that so many people think so highly of it may be one of the reasons the area is home to so many wonderful homes. Asheville NC elite real estate is something you hear quite a bit when discussions get down to the brass tacks of just how living is in this small western North Carolina town. You could also use the phrase Asheville high end homes for sale when describing some of the elite properties found here. While the numbers are always in flux, the messages and the actions from the people don't lie.
More and more you find people are coming to Asheville; moving here from other places, retiring here, starting a life with a new family here; and they just are not leaving.
While understanding what Asheville NC elite real estate really means for the average homeowner may sound a bit confusing, the fact of the matter is that people are coming here from the things that they have heard and they are staying because of the proof that they see.
Finding communities which couple so many wonderful homes with so many other positive things is rare. Even despite that rarity there are many fine resources which this city brings to the table. Some of these bonuses include things such as lovely climate, friendly neighbors and neighborhoods, low crime, an overall lovely quality of life, low taxes, and low home prices just to name a few. So even if you have tried and failed elsewhere to start your life, Asheville still welcomes you with open arms.
Plus with the location on the east coast it's got vibrant proximity to many wonderful other places. You're only a short flight away from New York, Boston, Washington DC, Miami, St Augustine, Atlanta, and Charleston. Moreover when you're within a few hours' drive to Nashville, you really are near the epicenter of so much heritage and culture.
But culture doesn't just exist in a vacuum. There are so many wonderful cultural resources to appreciate right in the city limits.
Because of the city's turbulent history (chronicled most memorably in the classic text "Look Homeward, Angel") some may view this city through a strictly historical prism and not think there is anything much worth going on in town. That could not be further from the truth. With the evidence pouring in from multiple resources about the city and its listing on so many different "greatest" lists, there promises to be quite literally something for everyone.
Asheville is not just for retirees either; folks of all ages have sought refuge and found it within the city limits. With Asheville NC elite real estate on so many people's minds, it's a wonder folks would ever consider looking anywhere else.
