Melt Fat Faster With the Crossfit & Paleo Diet Approach
As you get started with your Crossfit training program, one thing that you should be strongly considering is setting yourself up a Crossfit meal plan to go along with it. Taking care of good nutrition is one of the vital elements that needs to be in place if you're going to see success because this will help fuel your workouts and help you recover from them faster as well.
Understanding what the Crossfit diet is all about will help ensure that you are eating the right foods at the right time in the day. Let's go over the main points that you need to note.
What Is The Paleo Approach
Before we get into the specifics of the diet, it's important to understand what the Paleo diet approach is all about. Essentially, this approach is going to take you back to 'caveman' times, before there were any fast or processed foods. During this era, diseases were low and humans were strong because they were eating foods that came directly from the ground.
As such, when following this Paleo diet approach with your Crossfit workouts, you'll want to turn to proteins, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables. Grains and other processed foods are strictly prohibited.
The benefit of doing this is stable energy and insulin levels and a faster rate of overall fat burning. Let's look at each concept individually.
Focus On Lean Proteins
The very first thing that you need to be doing with your Crossfit diet is adding in plenty of lean proteins. Lean protein form the foundation of the Paleo approach is what will provide your muscles with the amino acids they need to rebuild themselves after each workout session that you perform and also help to keep your blood sugar levels regulated.
Protein is a must to include with each meal and snack that you consume on your Crossfit meal plan, and you should lean towards sources such as chicken breast, turkey breast, lean red meat, fish as well as fish and seafood. Fish is an especially terrific form of protein as it also contains the essential fatty acids your body needs.
Lean Protein from Fish
Add In Plenty Of Healthy Fats
The second thing that you should be noting as you form your Crossfit meal plan according to the Paleo diet approach is to make sure that you add in plenty of healthy fats. Healthy fats are the primary source of fuel while on the Crossfit diet as they will keep your energy level stable, rather than causing energy highs and lows like carbohydrates do.
Since healthy fats are quite calorie dense, just be sure that you regulate how much you're eating if you are looking for fat loss results. Getting your calorie intake right on the Crossfit meal plan is essential because this is what will determine whether you use body fat as a fuel source. The top healthy fat choices to include in your Crossfit diet are nuts and natural nut butter, seeds, olive oil, avocado's, and your fatty sources of fish.
The more active you are, the more fats you should include in your Crossfit meal plan.
Healthy Fats
Load Up On Fresh Produce
To round out the Crossfit diet plan, make sure that you also load up on fresh produce. Eating a wide assortment of fruits and vegetables on your Crossfit meal plan is going to ensure you get plenty of vitamins and minerals, along with antioxidant support while turning over to Paleo-style eating.
Furthermore, these foods will provide your body with the necessary dietary fiber you need to stay satisfied all day long.
Fruits should be consumed around the times when you're most active during the day as they do contain more calories and carbohydrates than vegetables, with vegetables being the primary focus later on in the day.
So keep these points in mind as you structure your Crossfit diet. If you use these tips, you will find that fat loss comes naturally without even trying. And, best of all, you'll feel better than you ever have before. Maybe also try a complement like Plata Coloidal para Bajar de Peso.

Great question! Generally the answer to both is that I'm consulting for a start-up and we need to move very quickly. Specifically we need to understand the product cost upfront and conduct a POC without wasting a lot of time on sales 'engagement'.

ParAccel was not a part of Actian when we did our initial evaluations. I got the clear impression that they were focussed on larger accounts and larger data sizes than ours.

I did download VectorWise but found it very difficult to get it going properly on my server (Windows sadly). When I did get it running I found the Ingres tools amazingly bad (they seem like Delphi apps from the 90s). Plus the database does not (AFAICT) do any kind of compression. Plus there is no clearly posted pricing data.

Redshift gives us a few things that a very attractive: decent (not amazing) performance, Postgres compatibility, clear pricing, the ability to scale up in small increments, etc. Neither VectoWise nor ParAccel nor any other Actan products is available on the AWS Marketplace (AFAIK). I honestly can't imagine why that is. Even the lumbering giant SAP has got their HANA database on there!

Over the medium term my feeling is that Hadoop is eating the database market and the first course is MPP analytic databases. I hope Actian is working on something that runs in Hadoop (without requiring customer SerDe) as a huge priority.

I've recently moved my customer's medium-large DW from SQL Server to Amazon Redshift. In many ways I/we are your perfect prospect: small, risk-tolerant, many billions of rows, wants to analyze them quickly and ** knows that ParStream exists **.

We _literally_ did not have time to get into the typical analytic DB sales cycle where it takes 3 calls to get a price and then they insist on a lot of hand-holding during the evaluation/POC. ParStream cannot be downloaded for a trial (a la Vertica), is not on the AWS Marketplace (a la SAP HANA) and has no SaaS offering - so sadly you were never in the running.

Regarding Hadoop, I don't for a second question that ParStream is much faster. My concern is that the pool of customers who place enough value on the speed of ParStream is not large enough to sustain a significant business. Plus Impala / Stinger have a lot of head room to get much faster quickly. Plus many (possibly most) customers in this space are going to be looking at things like Storm when the need very fast time-to-analysis.

I noticed you've dropped the appliance and de-emphasised the GPU aspect of the product. That seems wise given computing trends, e.g. lack of taction for server GPUs and the likely implosion of NVidia. However it's left the site a little bit lacking in technical specifics. I'd like to see much more detailed case studies, more technical details of how ParStream achieves it's speed and maybe even something like the Start Schema Benchmark.

You've taken some excellent funding so clearly you have a compelling story to tell investors. My personal opinion is that analytic customers now have so many options that you need to make it very, very easy for them to choose your product. I think your biggest missing piece right now is a SaaS or AWS Marketplace offering that proves your value with minimal customer investment (time or money).

I really feel bad about not having commented on your blog (years ago), sorry for that.

Anonymous is right in claiming that we will not support Windows in the near-term. We are happy with Linux server systems and over all these years have had only one opportunity we missed due to missing Windows platform support.

Regarding Joe's comment about traction I seriously hope you are wrong ;-) at least we are doing everything to make our product as appealing as possible. ParStream is often used on top of Hadoop, i.e. using Hadoop as a data-sea to collect everything and ParStream on top for explorative data analytics. Clearly ParStream has to extract the data from Hadoop and store it in the ParStream columnar store - but, Impala is doing the same (maybe a bit more secretly). There is no way to achieve sub-second or second query speed with Hadoop or any product on top as the data structure does not allow for such fast query processing.
If you use-case is about analytics it makes a hell of a lot of sense to store the data in a data structure that is good / ideal for analytics. And if you want to apply columnar filters and/or columnar aggregations than a columnar data store is superior to a row oriented storage system like hadoop or even worse key-value stores like HBase / Casandra et al.
We would never claim that ParStream can do it all, but the same is true for Hadoop and people who work intensively with Big Data have understood - Hadoop has been demystified and that is good for the big data space AND for hadoop itself.Michael Hummel, CEO ParStreamhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423363075024286359.post-18870923327267115942013-09-26T15:04:34.825-07:002013-09-26T15:04:34.825-07:00Hi Brock, I'd like to think I had some influ...Hi Brock,

I'd like to think I had some influence on the addition of ACCEPTINVCHARS! I'm sure others were bugging them about it though.

It certainly resolves my issue with 0xBFEFEF but I haven't tested NUL or DEL chars as my SQLCMD extracts don't contain them.

Also, FYI, they've added support for LZO compressed sources so I'm experimenting with that to see if it speeds up the extracts at all.

Who am I to tell them what to do?

I doubt ParStream will ever succeed in any large way actually. Their window of opportunity has been closed by the new high performance SQL layers being added by Hadoop. The value of having a single site for all your data will outweigh query speed for virtually all potential customers. Add on the price (e.g. approaching zero) and the deal is done.

They could try to pivot into some kind of "GPU accelerated Hadoop" offering but Rainstor's lack of traction suggests that a viable Hadoop product strategy must include a significant free and open component which I doubt they are prepared to offer.joeharris76https://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423363075024286359.post-56897174120401312013-04-11T17:02:57.717-07:002013-04-11T17:02:57.717-07:00Parstream CEO Mike Hummel told me to my face 2 day...Parstream CEO Mike Hummel told me to my face 2 days ago that he will never support Windows.

I'm glad you liked Piqi. My primary use-case for it a cross-language data serialization system and an RPC system for OCaml and Erlang. I don't currently use it for creating self-describing data bundles so this part is still experimental and some details will be changing as I keep working on it. But I'm very pleased what I've got so far and the goal is to make it even more portable and robust.

Looking forward to your next post!

I share same ideas that data is the primary matter and that systems that work with data should rely on some common method of representing and, preferably, defining data.

Unfortunately, these aspects have been always blended in various data storage and processing systems (including programming languages) that expose or export data in custom formats using highly specialized interfaces (e.g. SQL).

As a consequence, substantial programming and integratoin efforts are usually needed in order to provide data portability by data providers or to deal with custom data formats for data consumers. Systems interoperation, in general, falls under this category as well.

I'm working to address these aspects in the course of the Piqi project (http://piqi.org). It includes a powerful data definition language (Piqi), a standard way to represent data in XML, JSON and Protocol Buffers format, tools for type-based conversion between the three formats, etc.

Piqi also provides methods for non-disruptive extension of data schemas, and schemas themselves are serializable. This, in turn, allows creation of self-describing backward- and forward- compatible data email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423363075024286359.post-68663490362706591272011-04-07T03:37:22.094-07:002011-04-07T03:37:22.094-07:00Joe, since you cross-posted your comment, I'll...Joe, since you cross-posted your comment, I'll cross-post my response --

Mark Logic positions itself as the "database for unstructured information." The company's strength in publishing stems in part from the product's ability to back publishing systems that atomize content, content that can be easily worked with at both the document and component (sub-document) levels given the XML structuring, metadata-management capabilities, and hooks to related technologies: taxonomies, semantic analysis/text analytics, search.

ML isn't just for organizations that "want to persist XML as XML." It's break-through value is in persisting *content* as XML to facilitate applications that benefit from "smart content."

(SC is a term that, so far as I can tell, was first visibly used by a ML customer a few years back. I like it: I used it for a conference I created last fall, http://smartcontentconference.com/ . ML should have participated but didn't. We did just fine without them.)

I think the market for these capabilities is strong, even promising given expected growth in semantic computing. As observed, it is a niche market, but it could still support order-of-magnitude growth.

Shakespeare Sonnet 110 (Original Text)
Alas 'tis true, I have gone here and there,And made myself a motley to the view,Gored mine own thoughts, sold cheap what is most dear,Made old offenses of affections new.Most true it is that I have looked on truthAskance and strangely; but by all above,These blenches gave my heart another youth,And worse essays proved thee my best of love.Now all is done, save what shall have no end;Mine appetite I never more will grindOn newer proof, to try an older friend,A god in love, to whom I am confined.Then give me welcome, next my heav'n the best,Ev'n to thy pure and most most loving breast.
Shakespeare Sonnet 110 Modern Text (Translation)
-via SparkNotes
Shakespeare Sonnet 110 Analysis
The poet laments that it is a fact that he has been here and there "Alas 'tis true, I have gone here and there" and made himself look foolish in front of others "And made myself a motley to the view," he has allowed his thoughts to be divided and has made what was valuable to him appear worthless "Gored mine own thoughts, sold cheap what is most dear," and used new friends to assist him in making old mistakes again "Made old offenses of affections new."
He admits that the worst fact about his actions is that he has indulged in what is untrue and treated true love "Most true it is that I have looked on truth" with contempt and strange behavior but the fact of all this is "Askance and strangely; but by all above," that such actions have actually made him feel young again "These blenches gave my heart another youth," and by making friends with others has shown him that his love is the best among all "And worse essays proved thee my best of love."
Now he has done with all these actions except maintaining his love that has no end "Now all is done, save what shall have no end;" and that he will no longer go out into the world for such desires and new lovers anymore "Mine appetite I never more will grind" which only causes suffering to his old friend "On newer proof, to try an older friend," who he compares to a god saying that he is committed to his love "A god in love, to whom I am confined."

Furniture buying guides are great to help fill your home with the furniture and accessories that will match your life and your style. Start by reading through our furniture guide glossary to learn the terms you'll likely hear as you start shopping. Then check out our guides to purchasing furniture to find out the ins and outs of every design of furniture. Visit Furniture Cyprus for great furniture deals.
Admit it, you love to shop. Or a minimum of, you love to shop smart. Good deals give you goosebumps … and boasting rights.
To assist you make wise buys regularly, here are some guidelines for shopping smartly for indoor, outside, and leather furniture.
To find the very best value in furniture– be it indoor or outdoor– the same guidelines apply.
Get Physical. Sit in it. Much better furniture is normally more amply sized: seating area is roomier, and the arms and legs are more substantive. Raise it. The much better chair, table, or sofa, or chaise includes more raw material, such as springs, frame, and cushion, and will be heavier than a lower quality piece of the same material.
Analyze the Finish. An even, rich, and deep paint or stain finish needs to not be used to camouflage flaws. If the surface is translucent, it ought to be even and the grain ought to show through; if it is an opaque finish, the consistency must be even, never bubbled or revealing brush strokes. Wicker and rattan pieces should be smooth without splinters or ends standing out, and weaves must be tight and consistent and never ever blocked with paint.
Learn more tips listed below.
Examine the Cushions. Cool, distinct corners or curves, safely connected information and buttons, and unobtrusive joints are the trademarks of a quality cushion. The contour needs to be plump and well-shaped; a compressed appearance generally indicates insufficient stuffing. If appropriately stitched and lined, a down-filled cushion needs to never ever leakage feathers.
Look Beneath the Surface. Raise the cushions or turn the piece over to see how it's built. Look for loose screws, cushioning that's not stitched correctly, insufficient support, and springs that are apparent or unguarded. Bear in mind that you are looking at the raw part of the furniture, so don't expect excellence. You need to get a hint about the care that went into making the piece.
Inspect the Details. Fine-quality furniture has less evident welding, better sanding and finishing, and mechanisms to conceal hardware. Nuts, screws, and bolts need to be colored to match the piece and must be safeguarded from rust. Welting must be stitched straight and the joinings need to not be prominent.
Research study the Styling. Exceptional style programs. Knockoffs of successful designs are plentiful, but examine them carefully to satisfy yourself that the producer hasn't cut corners.
Think about the Conditions. Pick the piece based upon where it will be positioned and how it will be used. If you desire a couch to sit in front of a photo window, think how the material will fade and pick one with less pattern and less color. If the table is for the kitchen where your kids do their homework, select one with a sturdy finish. Do not put wicker or rattan outdoors in the elements, although a covered porch is great.
With the correct care, leather is a great investment. Before you select this useful, versatile furniture, saddle up with some smart purchasing ideas:
Grade – Grade is the most crucial function of leather's quality– and an indication of toughness and cost. Top-grain leather is taken from the desirable external surface of the hide. Leathers taken from the lower surfaces are split grains, and are much weaker.

We genuinely trust The Specialists
The Specialists run an operation that does some of the best work my wife and I have ever seen. They cleaned a small investment property for us and were able to get out stains that were so bad we thought we were going to need to replace the carpet. They probably saved us over $2,000. They were timely, professional, and very reasonably priced. They were also able to clean and seal (as necessary) the granite, marble, tile, and grout throughout the house, which was quite a job because the house was built in 1930. Compared to other companies in the area, they were much more responsive, they educated us on the process, and used all natural products. To top it all off, they are genuinely nice people and pleasure to be around. We plan to work with them in the future.

Sicilian restored farmhouse with child-friendly pool — Situated in the countryside on the edge the UNESCO world heritage site of Ragusa, this villa is bursting with unique character, as a result of a meticulous restoration of the original farmhouse. The Times newspaper, in January 2017 chose Villa Petra as the ideal villa to recommend to a reader who wrote in requesting a villa for a big birthday celebration. (http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/a-villa-holiday-in-september-7dfs36pdz) Despite being surrounded by fields and olive groves, shops and restaurants are close at hand; Punta Secca's sandy beach is just under ten miles away and many Baroque towns such as Modica, Scicli and Vittoria are within a short drive of Villa Petra. So called for the use of stone as the main building material together with wood and straw, Villa Petra is a superb example of craftsmanship and restorative architecture, successfully preserving the villa's distinctive rural identity. The accommodation is arranged around the ancient courtyard, which connects the main villa and the charming one-bedroomed cottage complete with an airy art studio and a lovely rooftop sun-terrace. Surrounded by a dry-stone dwarf-wall and olive groves, the pool is particularly suitable for children and is the ideal spot in which one can keep cool and refreshed during the hottest hours of the day. When you tire of the tranquillity of the villa's rural surroundings, head to the beautiful and wealthy town of Ragusa Ibla (= meaning old town), just ten miles away. Used as the setting of the popular Inspector Montalbano's TV series, this spectacular Baroque town was re-built at the beginning of the 18th century like nearby Vittoria, Scicli and Modica. These towns have a unique atmosphere which can only be found in this part of Sicily; the dramatic views, decorated buildings and steep winding lanes lined with a wealth of elegant shops and restaurants. The coast is also remarkable in this area, mostly featuring sandy beaches as opposed to the cliffs and rocky bays typical of the northern coast. Many lively seaside resorts offer beach clubs and watersports.
Nearest shops and restaurants 5 miles. Sandy beach Punta Secca 8 miles. Ragusa Ibla & railway station 8 miles. Marina di Ragusa 10 miles. Donnafugata Castle 12 miles. Scoglitti & Vittoria 15 miles. Modica & Scicli 18 miles. Marina di Modica 28 miles. Noto 35 miles. Portopalo di Capo Passero 43 miles. Siracusa 62 miles. Agrigento 85 miles. Comiso airport 20 miles. Catania airport 70 miles.

Now in his fifth season as General Music Director of Zurich Opera, Fabio Luisi returns to the house to lead a revival of Don Carlo. Rolf Glittenberg's staging of Verdi's five-act fable of political intrigue stars René Pape and Ramón Vargas and opens November 27 with repeat performances on December 1, 4, 7, and 10.
In concert this season, Fabio leads the Philharmonia Zurich in a lavish collaborative co-production of Verdi's Requiem, joined by the Zurich Opera Chorus and the Zurich Ballet and Junior Ballet, with world-premiere choreography by Christian Spuck. Ten performances of the Requiem take place between December 3 and January 13. In the midst of these concerts, Fabio also conducts the orchestra alone on December 18 in a program of Schubert's Symphony No. 8, "Unfinished" and Martin's Love and Death of Cornet Christopher Rilke with alto soloist Okka von der Damerau.

The Elegance of Black And White
Update Any Room Piece With This Chic Colour Combo
The colour combination of black and white has always been a classic pairing and will stand the test of time.
Black and white has been a backdrop for interior designs for centuries from the floor at the Versailles Grand Trianon to modern showrooms and contemporary designers such as Christian May.
It's a Colour Combination You Can Very Rarely Go Wrong With.
There are plenty of ways to transform furniture using this colour combo such as our friend Katrina from Malenka Originals in Canada has demonstrated.
Using Graphite as the dominant colour, Katrina has elegantly added a stripe off centre. Using the natural wood and Old White as a divider line has really helped to add depth and contrast.
Create This Look At Home
You will hear critics of dark colours say that colours such as black will shrink a room; however this is untrue if it is contrasted by a lighter object placed in front or lighter adjacent walls.
Keep plenty of white in the room if you do not want to create a closed in feel and add contrasting shades such as lavender which can compliment these two shades.
Before I paint a piece of furniture I always like to play around with painting different areas in contrasting shades to see how they will look next to each other. The most popular being drawers painted in a different colour to the shell of the furniture, however that seems to have become the norm when trying to be different.
Think of different ways you could place black and white together on furniture to really make a stand out piece that will be cutting edge yet classic.

|Burundi Kayanza Yandaro Station - Cherry flesh and orange pulp notes are understated, with caramel and molasses-type sugary sweetness more dominant, and citric to black tea-like vibrance. Surprisingly chocolatey at Full City. Good for espresso.
Costa Rica Don Mayo El Llano - Caramelizing sugar flavors from hot to cool, and notes of toasted almond and toffee nut offer a nice counterpoint, as do hints of dried apple, and brisk black tea.
Ethiopia Guji Sare Saba - Cane juice, subtle floral notes, pointed sweetness, and tea-like accents. Simple syrup sweetness is transparent and buoys fruited notes of citrus and berry, moving into a doughy finishing note.
Colombia Honey Process Abraham Imbajoa - A honey coffee with flavor aspects of a fruit-forward natural; intense dried fruit flavors, immense body, and a somewhat muted acidity. Rustic sweetness, dried apricot and apple, and cherry pulp.
Honduras San Antonio Las Botijas - Compact bittersweetness, almond bark and dark cocoa, rustic dried fruit accents, and a green aroma like pine wood. Las Botijas is a good candidate for darker roasting. Good for espresso.
Guatemala Honey Process Xinabajul Producers - The cup has milky texture at City+ and Full City and carries a caramel and cane sugar sweetness into the aftertaste, with bittersweet accents, and hints of dried apple, cranberry, walnut, almond.
Once in a while Sweet Maria's customer Larry Cotton blows our minds by sending us photos or a video of a new homemade coffee roaster creation made from basic parts and not-so-basic engineering. Here's his latest.
Tom shot some great footage during his last trip to Guatemala where he visited Carmona, Pulcal, the processing facility that a lot of our Guatemalan coffee will come from this year.

You know how I feel about pie.
We are in the pre-pie zone, that time when the ingredients (or the pies themselves) are already bought, but you can't eat them because it isn't Thanksgiving yet. This is the worst time, really, because the pie is right there in front of you but so much as touching it will get your hands cut off by the Turkey Tribunal.
Oh, that reminds, me – hats off to Reuters for this beautiful Thanksgiving Week headline: "Nine Charged; Britain Warns of More Turkey Attacks." Now I don't know about you, but most people are sort of pre-occupied with Thursday's meal, and well, I thought they had arrested 9 turkeys for attacking. Hey, Britain was famous for mad mad cow disease, it's not impossible that they had some sort of turkey fever. You'd think the British turkeys would be happy that they're in a country that doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving. No need to attack there.
Oh. The story is about Turkey the country. Got it.
Back to not thinking about pie, then.

Last weekend we headed down to Laaannndan as a fambalam to visit McDonald's with Mumsnet and celebrate the launch of their new Happy Meal item: The Grilled Chicken Wrap.
No, not kidding, we went to London with the kids to go to McDonalds and we had the best time!
McDonalds is our go to when we are travelling with the kids, there are very few places to feed them on long motorway journeys and living in the north we find ourselves either on a long motorway journey or in train stations and sometimes the only place that I know they will eat the whole meal is McDonalds. Whilst I have no issue with that, there have been occasions when we have been darting about so much and I've noticed that they have had Happy Meal after Happy Meal, days in a row and when their choices are chips and chicken nuggets, I can't help but feel that nagging concern that it can't be good for them. Everything is to be enjoyed in moderation in life, not twice a day for 3 days…
Anyway, my point: I don't have to worry so much now that McDonalds have heard the pleas of mums, dads and happy meal lovers (no shade if you are 34 eating a Happy Meal, those toys rock and my friend you are never too old for chicken nuggets) across the UK and included the grilled chicken wrap, providing an item on the menu that is both tasty and not fried.
At the event Reuben was given a grilled chicken wrap that he devoured so rapidly I didn't even get a picture of it (always a good sign) and a bag of carrot sticks which he really enjoyed. If your child isn't a fan of carrot sticks then the wraps can still be a part of a Happy Meal with fries, but the options are there which takes a huge weight off my shoulders. Lettuce, ketchup, delicious grilled chicken and a tasty tortilla wrap make up the new menu option – and better yet, you can now add and remove various filling if you want to: tomato for a tomatoes fan, cucumber and onions, something that hasn't been available for happy meals before but only as a part of the standard menu. It's making your Happy Meal options customisable. When I mentioned Happy Meals on my Instagram stories I was really surprised by how many people messaged me to say they were frustrated that there is no vegetarian option, but alongside introducing the Grilled Chicken Wrap to the menu, McDonald's listened when they were asked for a vegetarian option and one is currently being developed and discussed!
There is enough mum guilt floating around, I don't want my children's meal options to become another part of that and knowing that they have these selections makes a great difference, especially as I feel I can treat them with the new mini McFluffy and feel stress free because Edith can NEVER finish one whole one on her own (she has a love hate relationship with ice cream – she loves the first 10-20 nibbles and then hates it) so I end up with a load of ice cream and two boys nagging to finish it off, then fighting over it… finally crying over me saying no and finishing it off myself.
At the event we had the usual vibrant and fun spirit that the kids love about McDonald's from colouring sheets on the tables to face painting and fun activities for them to indulge in. They loved it!
Adam and I are both fans of the McDonald's burgers, I am a lover of the Chicken Legend meal with cheese and Adam loves a Big Mac or Bacon double cheeseburger so we were happy and made our own choices, without the lingering taste of guilt over what the kids were munching on.

The Chartis Center for Rural Health announced Moab Regional Hospital has been named a Top 100 Critical Access Hospital for 2019. MRH received the award based on 2018 performance and numbers, said hospital spokesperson Laurie Peter in an email.
Critical Access Hospital is a designation given to eligible rural hospitals by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service. Hospitals must provide 24-hour emergency care and be located at least 35 miles from another hospital, among other conditions for eligibility.
The CAH designation is designed to reduce the financial vulnerability of rural hospitals and improve access to healthcare by keeping essential services in rural communities.
"In an era of increased complexity and uncertainty, Top 100 hospitals have established themselves as a bellwether for rural provider performance," said Michael Topchik, national leader of The Chartis Center for Rural Health. "Top 100 status is a real indicator of how proactive these hospitals are when it comes to pushing for performance improvement in areas such as quality, outcomes, patient safety, market share and finance."
CEO Jen Sadoff said, "Moab Regional Hospital is dedicated to ensuring the community has access to high-quality healthcare. We are committed to keeping our costs affordable and have taken steps to maintain financial stability for our community and those we serve. There are 1,349 Critical Access Hospitals located throughout the United States and we are honored to be recognized in the top seven percent." MRH last made the Top 100 list in 2016.
The independent scoring organization, iVantage Health Analytics, uses 50 publically available and rural-relevant indicators across eight pillars of hospital strength to create the index. They include patient outcomes, patient perspective, quality and financial stability.

Our 24 Hours of Le Mans/2
The race is over, and we recounts a fantastic experience in words and pictures. First, however, a very quick comment on the results!
By Stinger (photos and data by the official FIMEWC and Stinger)
So it's over, and Honda placed two bikes in the top two. The first position went – a bit unexpectedly – to Team #5 FCC TSR Honda France (the first bike in the opening photo), which preceded the #111 Honda Endurance Racing.
But the fate of the competition was decided by the mistakes of the two Yamaha teams who were dominating the first hours of the race. First Team YART #7, out for a fall of Fritz, who destroyed the bike. Then there was GMT#94, slowed down by Checa's off-piste, who brought the bike back to the pits push pushing it and allowed the mechanics to repair it and the team to resume the race, finishing in tenth place.
Kawasaki SRC #11 also had a few problems and finished fifth, 10 laps behind the first. While the BMW #13 of the German team Wepol Racing by Penz 13.com went strong, third! And so BMW has also entered the lot of manufacturers that can aim for success in the World Endurance Championship.
It should be noted that the Superstocks were very fast. The first is that of Team #36, the Yamaha of 3 ART – Moto Team 95, sixth overall. Second place and seventh overall for the other Yamaha #96 of the French team Moto Ain, led by Roberto Rolfo who has driven more than his team members, as his two teammates have both suffered physical problems!
Third place in the Stock and eighth overall for the Suzuki #72 Junior Team LMS.
Finally a negative note for the withdrawal of Team Kawasaki #33 Louit Moto, where Kevin Manfredi was racing. Electronics problems stopped them during the night. Kevin left immediately, leaving a nice message on our phone, despite the anger of the moment.
Now is the time for celebration and, forgive me, I'm going for a walk among the pilots. In fact, while I'm taking photos of the winners, from the back of the podium (here the video of the podium)!
HERE you find the final results, still in provisional form.
Below you can find notes that I prepared in the last hours of the race!
The Night
The race is over, and I like to rewind the tape a bit and return to yesterday evening when the darkness fell on the Bugatti circuit, and the sun left room for artificial lighting. The atmosphere that was created was somehow surreal, and I was enchanted for endless minutes to look no longer at the bikes, but at lights darting noisily along the black ribbon of asphalt.
Paradoxically, in the half-light of the straight line, I could notice details that were invisible during the day. In addition to the headlights, race numbers are illuminated too! And many bikes have LED stripes inside the fairing or along the swingarm, but only on one side.
It made me curious and I talked to some engineers about it. They explained to me that, even if pits are not in the dark, and they have specific lamps to work on the bike, having the chain side or the inside of the fairing illuminated helps in emergency situations.
Then there was some cheerful mechanic who added: "and then, how cool it is to see the bike at night illuminated that way?".
Chapeau! I'll take that. Also because, after a few laps I started to recognize the bikes no longer by their colours or numbers, but by the configuration of the lights, headlights and various LEDs.
Many breaks and many falls in this 24 Hours. Yesterday afternoon I saw live, from the screens of the press room, that of Marvin Fritz, of the Yamaha Yart team, who was one of the favourites. He wasn't injured, but the bike capsized several times, literally disassembling itself.
The Yamaha GMT#94 team, who had already taken the lead in this race, benefited from the situation. And everything went well until David Checa ended up on the ground too. The bike was badly damaged, and he picked it up and pushed it to the pit to fix it and restart the race – the Team on Twitter points out that it fell exactly on the opposite side of the circuit! A sacrifice that has paid off with some points, since at the end of the 24 hours the team reached the tenth place. Well done Checa, and beautiful scene of his arrival in the pits, with the mechanics who applauded him, as seen in the video below!
Bike #94 is back in the pit. Can they fix it?

That's proper commitment, that is!#24hmotos #LeMans #FIMEWC pic.twitter.com/3zFMMtV2wn
— FIM EWC (@FIM_EWC) April 22, 2018
The night goes on, and the real character of this race comes out. A resistance race for everyone. For the drivers, for the mechanics, for the engines that run to their limits, for the fans that challenge the night still in the stands to stay close to those that make the show. But wait, they do the show too!
Meanwhile, Team #18 Sapeurs-Pompiers stopped with a suspected engine fire, then discovered it wasn't so. Yes, they are racing firemen, and ironically, it happened to them!
I sit in the press room and mentally play with the numbers that I have been given by the engineers. Two tonnes of hammering on the cylinder per each combustion, 166 revolutions of the crankshaft every single second, exhaust gases temperatures between 400 and 500 degrees Celsius.
More or less these are the stresses on a motorcycle engine at 10,000 rpm. Many of those who are here, however, run much higher! In short… do you understand now why they can break down?
Then there is the tiredness of drivers and mechanics, who despite the procedures in the box have been tried and tested, leads to occasional misunderstandings that waste time. And accidents, driving errors. Yet at the end of the 24 hours in the early hours, there was still who was driving around the circuit in 1'37 ish (Checa!).
This race is won with steadfast nerves, trying not to overdo it, trying to keep some margin on the bikes. I would say the exact opposite of a give-it-all race like MotoGP. But steady nerves and concentration, I know, are also needed there.
Along the track there are big screens, with the ranking updated. Fundamental, because – differently – you find yourself watching an uninterrupted passage of motorcycles, each one on its own way, even if they overcome and battle each other; but it is impossible to understand who is ahead and who, maybe, has more laps of delay.
But it is wonderful like this, without first or second, beautiful or ugly, fast or slow. All together to dance in the group inside the curve and no one who gives up on the throttle. And after 20 hours I start to notice that so many drivers are on track with deep scratches on their racesuits because of fallings, yet they flat out as if nothing happened.
There you go, this is the flavour of the 24 Hours Moto. As I write I'm still missing a few hours of racing.

Oxycontin heist in Little Canada
Arrests, Thefts and more around Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Little Canada, and Roseville - Roseville Review police reports October 4, 2016.
Falcon Heights
Gas station heist
A man put roughly $10 worth of merchandise into a bag at the SuperAmerica gas station in the 1300 block of Larpenteur Avenue Sept. 13 and began to leave without paying. He was confronted by employees on the way out but ignored them, and got into a getaway car that was waiting outside. Police have the car's license plate number.
Open bottle
Police stopped a couple at Larpenteur and Gortner avenues Sept. 18. The 52-year-old man who was driving the vehicle was arrested and cited for driving with a revoked license, fake proof of insurance and a cracked windshield — his scofflaw approach to things also extended to allowing his passenger to have an open bottle of booze, for which he was cited. Said passenger, a 30-year-old woman, was arrested and cited for the open bottle.
Stolen bike
Someone stole a 17-year-old boy's bike from a garage in the 1600 block of Garden Avenue. It's a bit of a loss — the bike was valued at $400.
Locked or unlocked ...
On Sept. 17, a 48-year-old man reported someone had stolen his $100 bike, which was locked up outside the apartments in the 1600 block of Eustis Street. The next day, a 48-year-old man — it's unclear if it's the same person — reported another bike stolen from the same location, this time, though, the bike wasn't locked up.
Tough lessons
Police stopped a driver in the 2500 block of Broadway Street Sept. 14 — the person, a 48-year-old woman, was arrested and cited for a learner's permit violation.
Underage alcohol
Police arrested and cited a 20-year-old man Sept. 17 at Larpenteur Avenue and Fulham Street for speeding, driving with a revoked license and for underage possession of alcohol.
Little Canada
Someone broke into an apartment storage unit in the 400 block of Labore Road sometime before Sept. 23. The 41-year-old man who reported the burglary figures the prowler stole some of his personal checks, because someone passed off a $500 forged check. When the crook tried to pass off another stolen check for $2,000, the bank was wise to the situation, and cancelled it.
A 58-year-old woman told police Sept. 25 someone broke into her storage unit in the first block of County Road B and took the makings of a nice and productive weekend at home: a sewing machine, a tool box, a PlayStation and a Blu-ray player.
Cocker spaniel attack
A woman called the sheriff's office Sept. 15 from the mobile home park on Big Circle Drive to tell them she was attacked by a cocker spaniel after she went out to investigate the dog's constant barking. When police arrived, the dog was gone.
Police investigating a report of a prowler in the 100 block of Little Canada Road early Sept. 25 noticed a car parked in what wasn't a parking spot. Finding the situation suspicious, police looked inside the car, seeing what appeared to be crack-cocaine. Deputies laid in wait, and watched a man hop in the car and drive off. Officers stopped the man, who turned out to be a 28-year-old from Crystal, and booked him for felony possession of crack.
A 45-year-old woman told police Sept. 23 that someone had written two fake checks from her account — she's out $1,600.
Hotel, motel,
Holiday Inn Express
A 30-year-old man told police someone stole his 2008 Volkswagon Rabbit from his garage in the 300 block of Labore Road sometime overnight into Sept. 22. Making things worse, the thief took his $1,000 mountain bike as well. The car, but not the bike, turned up later that same day in the parking lot of a Holiday Inn Express in Vadnais Heights.
Oxycontin heist
Two men jumped the counter at the CVS pharmacy in the 2600 block of Rice Street the night of Sept. 23 and demanded employees open the safe containing narcotic medicines. One of the men held a knife to an employee's throat and the two demanded the painkiller oxycontin. One employee opened what the men seemed to know was the wrong safe — they ordered her to open the correct safe. The men fled the store with various prescription drugs and were gone within two minutes of their arrival.

This page discusses: mitigating your home to protect it from flooding (e.g., for those in Special Flood Hazard Areas [A and V zones]); in-depth information about how and why to get an Elevation Certificate (helps you know the true flood risk for your property); a link to the National Flood Insurance Program manual; and how the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 will impact flood insurance rates.
There are many ways property owners, businesses and communities may mitigate, or reduce, their flood risk and receive additional consideration to help reduce insurance costs, as illustrated in these informational videos and materials:
The first step to mitigating risk is to learn the property's elevation rating, by obtaining an Elevation Certificate. Although elevation certificates may not be required to purchase flood insurance on certain buildings, it is an option of the insured to obtain one to better understand the true flood risk of a property and possibly lower flood insurance premiums.
- Homeowners Guide to Elevation Certificates
A fact sheet explaining what an Elevation Certificate is, who needs one and how to get one.
- Elevation Certificate training
Find various training opportunities to learn more about Elevation Certificates.
- National Flood Insurance Program Elevation Certificate and Instructions
An administrative tool of the NFIP used to provide elevation information necessary to ensure compliance with to community floodplain management ordinances, to determine the proper insurance premium rate or support a request for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA).
- The Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012: Elevation Ratings
A short video explaining what it means for a policy to be elevation rated, what an Elevation Certificate is, how to get an Elevation Certificate and who needs an Elevation Certificate.
- National Flood Insurance Program Flood Insurance Manual
See Section 7 for Lowest Floor Guide and Section 8 for Certifications.
- Converting Vertical Datums
A fact sheet that discusses the importance of ensuring the same vertical datums are used when working with elevation data from flood maps and Elevation Certificates.
Property owners also have great opportunity to mitigate their risk and help receive consideration for lower rates by building or re-building to higher standards, as indicated below:
- Rebuilding in an AE zone
Scenario showing cost effectiveness of building above the BFE
- Rebuilding in a VE zone
Scenario showing cost effectiveness of building above the BFE
- Build Back Safer and Stronger: What You Need to Know (English and Spanish)
A tri-fold brochure explaining how rebuilding higher and mitigating flood risk can reduce flood insurance premiums and reduce the chance of future flood damage

Characteristics of the Best Dental Experts
The dentists are dental experts with a wide knowledge of major practices to meet a good oral health in a person and also in the treatment of various issues that one may face relating to teeth. The best dentists have different characteristics that differentiate them from those unskilled medical practitioners who give guidance in meeting a good oral hygiene. Some of the characteristics of a perfect dentist may include.
For dentist to be considered as a qualified expert in related field of medicine, he or she must have gone through the medical schools for this training. A good dentist must be registered with the health commissions as a qualified dental expert. The certification is also an evidence that they are trained and hence have necessary skill in offering required help.
Another factor that make a dental expert more superior than the others is running the dental clinics that offer the oral health to the customers. The reason that makes the dentists a better option for running their own dental clinics is that they provide quality services to clients than those in the public health centres. One can also be able to determine a better dental expert from their online platforms which are used to reach out a larger crowd and help in solving their teeth problems even through the practices that they suggest to be done to reach good oral hygiene. A dental expert can be rated depending on the fees that he or she charged for the services that they off to the clients. This is because the charges depend on the quality and thus the higher the prices the better the services but the fees should not be very high such that they cannot be achieved.
Another quality of the dentists is the experience that they have in these dental practices. A dentist becomes better after having worked in this profession for a long time where they meet and handle various issues and thus they are able to gain more skills for a better work. The tools that a dental expert has also makes them more better. The reason that makes a dentist more better from the level of equipment is because teeth issues need to be handled carefully with those machines that are working well to avoid complications which may be very dangerous.
Because the dentists mare have a general ideas about teeth check up and treatment, the best dentists can be considered to be those who have a special knowledge in solving teeth issues such as the orthodontics who are specialists in surgery. A good dentist should be that who is disciplined and us willing to work to solve the issues that their clients and this is portrayed through their behaviour and thus it is important for a person to examine this. A good dentist also undertake regular check ups on the clients to determine whether the services offered have an impact towards healing and are willing to give more help in case there might be other complications arising.

Sticky Thoughts is a collection of new prints and paintings by The Project Twins. Humour, irony and wit pervade their work while bold and playful graphics explore ideas of absurdity, identity and curiosity. Their use of minimal forms and bold shapes, rooted in the visual language of graphic design and semiotics, result in work that appears to directly communicate while also retaining a sense of ambiguity
The Project Twins work together through a process of dialogue and sketching, continually reducing forms to basic elements. The work presents various dualities between the serious and the ridiculous, the melancholic and the joyful.
The Project Twins are James and Michael Fitzgerald, a Cork based art and design duo. They create playful and graphic work across a broad range of disciplines including illustration, design, print-making, painting and three-dimensional work.
Selected exhibitions include: More Than One Maker, Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), Dublin, 2015; Neutral, TULCA @ 126 Gallery, Galway, 2014; Stellar, CIT Wandesford Quay Gallery, Cork, 2014; Deception & Sacrifice, Academy of Art University, San Francisco, 2014; Extinction, 'Making Space Residency', The Library Project, Dublin, 2013; Living/Loss: The Experience of Illness in Art, Lewis Glucksman Gallery, Cork, 2012. Their work is held in the permanent collections of the Office of Public Works (OPW) and Zuckerman Museum of Art, Georgia, USA.
Their graphic work has garnered international attention from an array of clients with commissions from Jameson, Aer Lingus, Bulmers, Penguin Group, The Guardian, Wired, Adweek, Variety, Nature Journal, Three Mobile, ING Bank and Commonwealth Bank of Australia. The Project Twins are represented by Synergy Art in the UK and US, and by The Illustration Room in Australia. They are members of the Illustrator's Guild of Ireland and Cork Printmakers. They work from Sample-Studios in Cork city.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
What is BPPV and what are common symptoms?
BPPV is a condition that is often associated with head injuries in contact sports. BPPV causes symptoms of vertigo (the sensation that the room is spinning after a specific head movement even though your head is now stationary), nausea, loss of balance, and nystagmus (abnormal repetitive & uncontrolled movement of your eye). This condition develops due to crystals of calcium carbonate being dislodged deep within your inner ear.
Your inner ear is most responsible for your vestibular sense (where your head/body is positioned in space & eye/body responses to this position). When these crystals become dislodged from a direct impact to the head, they can move into one of the three semicircular canals and fire signals to the brain that you are still moving even though you may not be.
While BPPV can be extremely debilitating during an episode of vertigo, canalith repositioning movements (particular head positions) and specific home exercises that can be done will be described & walked through in future videos!

Ms. Trotter of Carmel, CA registered her first litter of Vin-Melca Norwegian Elkhounds with the American Kennel Club in 1951 and her most recent litter this year. Her breeding program has produced both the Top Sire and Dam in the breed's history as well as the breed's top winners. Vin-Melca Elkhounds have won 11 Hound group firsts at Westminster, all owner-handled.
When Ch. Vin-Melca's Vagabond became Top Dog All Breeds in 1970, he was the first amateur-handled dog to achieve that honor. Pat handled her own dogs to Top Ten All Breed status on 10 different occasions while holding down a full-time teaching job. Her Elkhounds were regular winners of Top Hound honors and Quaker Oats Awards for dogs with the most group wins within a year.
Names such as Vagabond, Howdy Rowdy, Nimbus, Smuggler, Calista, Marketta, Silver Shadow, Top O' The Mark, and more recently "Duffy" are amongst the legendary hounds produced by this family. Thirty-eight Vin-Melca Elkhounds have accumulated all-breed Best in Show honors to date. Today's dogs represent untold generations descending from that 1951 litter. Personal honors include the Purina ProPlan® Hall of Fame, two Fido awards as Dog Woman of the Year and AKC's Lifetime Achievement Award. Ms. Trotter is approved to judge all breeds. This is her fourth Westminster assignment.

For many years I experimented with various swimwear styles, including (gasp!) a few overly feminine styles; you know the ones with the over the top trims such as ruffles and lace? Now, I finally feel like I have found the look I'm most comfortable in. I believe fuss-free, simple cuts in dark colours are elegant on just about anyone. Of course, there is the odd bright print that catches my eye, but currently I'm really feeling the colours navy and black. Here is a little edit of some of the styles I've come across on my hunt for bathers…
1 > PALM 'ALOR' top
4 > PALM 'SUVU' Brazilian bottoms
6 > MARYSIA SWIM 'Evil Honolulu' zigzag bikini
7 > LISA MARIE FERNANDEZ 'Yasmin' seersucker bikini
8 > TOMAS MAIER 'Athomic' swimsuit
9 > ZIMMERMAN 'Porcelain' quilted bikini
10 > TOMAS MAIER Embroidered bikini
Only just last week I added the PALM 'SUVU' top and 'ALOR' bottoms, both in black to my wardrobe for the season – purely for their minimal lines and affordable price points. If you're wondering why I didn't get the matching bottoms, it's because the 'ALOR' bottoms have more coverage than the matching 'SUVU' Brazilian cut – I love it when you can mix and match! If I were to get another pair, I would love to get the 'Evil Honolulu' bikini by Marysia Swim for something cute and fun. :)
