Quick hello from Tel Aviv, nerve centre of the great Zionist - Jewish - Freemason - NeoCon - Bilderberger - Big Oil - Military Industrial Complex conspiracy. How is the world today? Have we controlled the weather nicely where you are? If you are Jewish, have you managed to make your Pesach matzah yet? What with the secularization of the Christian world, we know that WASP children are no longer considered kosher.
And there's a shortage of Muslims this year because we screwed up the supply chain with our carpet-bombing of Iraq and nuking Iran (doh, that's next year). The Big Green Lizard Rabbinate has however assured us that crushed Gitmo prisoners will be acceptable for the preparation of shemura matzot, provided you pick out the bits of orange jumpsuit, as these are chametzdik.
Anyway, I thought you might like to read this article by Mark Steyn, who for some reason has exposed our plot to the wider world in seeking to silence Mr Dalyell, in his piece Tam is talking a lot of cabals about sinister controllers:
Frankly I was relieved to hear from Tam Dalyell that Tony Blair is secretly controlled by a cabal of Jewish advisers. Cabal-wise, that takes the heat off George W Bush, who's secretly controlled by so many cabals he's juggling his schedule as frantically as Jack Lemmon in a 1960s sex comedy. The President is apparently simultaneously secretly controlled by a cabal of sinister Jews, a cabal of fundamentalist Christians, a cabal of Texas oil barons, and a cabal of devious "neoconservatives", who are also Jews but, demonstrating the cunning one traditionally associates with the Hebrew, have taken to going around under a new name to confuse those not as eagle-eyed as Tam.
But if I had to name my all-time favourite cabal to which Bush is in thrall it would have to be the one revealed in a long think-piece in the Boston Globe the other week. The Globe identified the various murky figures who've been the most assiduous promoters of the new American imperium: David Frum, the Bush speechwriter who coined two thirds of the phrase "axis of evil" (his original idea was "axis of hate"); Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post; Michael Ignatieff of Harvard; and Mark Steyn, some loser with a Brit newspaper.
And what do all these unsavoury characters have in common? Circumcision? Gefilte fish? No; as the Globe noted, "Frum, Steyn, Krauthammer, and Ignatieff all hail from Canada".
A cabal of sinister Canadians? Oh, sure, go ahead, scoff. But, if Tony Blair is under the control of a cabal of sinister Jews, what you really need to ask yourself is what cabal is the cabal of sinister Jews under the control of? That's where poor Tam's conspiracy theories are so old hat (it's a homburg). At least in the club of sinister Canadians we operate a restricted membership: only Canadians need apply. By contrast, Tam's cabal of sinister Jews is headed by who? A troika - Lord Levy, Mr Mandelson, Mr Straw? - that includes only one bona fide Jew and has to make up the numbers with guys who've got a Jewish grandparent and a couple of Mel Brooks videos: depending on how you look at it, Tam's conspiracy has either revived the expansive Third Reich definition of Jewishness or it's the Irish World Cup team of cabals.
But the real question the Father of the House ought to ponder is, if Tony Blair is so unimportant that the cabal secretly controlling him can be left to a bunch of ersatz Jews, what are all the real Jews up to? Who are they secretly controlling? Are they the ones who've been driving poor old Margaret Drabble loopy, perhaps through radio waves emitted from secret antennae implanted in their hooked noses? Just a thought.
And back at the White House it's cabal gridlock. You turn up and say, "Hi, it's the cabal of sinister Canadians. We've got an appointment at 10 with the President." And the secretary says, "Sorry, his 9.30 cabal is running late." And you begin to wonder why, if George W Bush has such a small brain, so many cabals are required to secretly control it. And you sit in the anteroom twiddling your thumbs and the clock ticks on and the cabal of Big Oil arrives, all wearing their ten-gallon hats. In Texas, they used to have a saying: He's all hat and no cattle. Now they say he's all hat and no cabal, a dismissive reference to the only three Hasidic Jews in the Lone Star State who aren't controlling a G7 head of government.
Meanwhile, my colleague Boris Johnson has uncovered an even more artful cabal. The other day in these pages, he suggested that the President, if only in terms of the fine art and antiquities section of his brain, was being secretly controlled by a lobby group called the American Council for Cultural Policy, who'd leant on Bush to facilitate the looting of the Baghdad Museum in order to deliver the Iraqi people's birthright to "the guest washrooms of Floridian real estate kings".
I don't know what Boris has against Florida estate agents - possibly he was on the wrong end of some timeshare deal - but his Dalyell-like conjuring of a cabal of sinister Sunshine State realtors all singing Rosemary Clooney's classic "Cabal-a My House" is so delightful it seems a shame to point out that the great sack of Baghdad is as mythical as the great Jenin massacre of exactly a year ago. The number of missing Baghdad antiquities has now been revised down from 170,000 to somewhere between 25 and 38 - in other words, between 169,962 and 169,975 less than was originally claimed. Are the media being secretly controlled by a cabal of Jews who enjoy making 'em look like idiots every spring?
"The Jew is everywhere," observes Scudder in John Buchan's Thirty-nine Steps. "If you're on the biggest kind of job and are bound to get to the real boss, 10 to one you are brought up against a little white-faced Jew in a bath-chair with an eye like a rattlesnake."
But, of course, Buchan was Governor-General of Canada. If you get my drift.

This is my first blog post at my new website. Now that it's done, I'm happy to share my thoughts about setting up using WordPress.org and WordPress themes.
I'm not a novice when it comes to website design. I created my first website in 1996. It was a simpler time. I did straight HTML coding by hand – without a program. When CSS came out, I learned enough to get by.
Around 2008 I closed my sites and moved on. Subsequently, when I needed to set up a website or a blog, I used Wordpress.com. It was easy. It cost about $100.00 a year to get rid of ads and use my own domain name. Wordpess.com has some nice features, but it also has limitations. It seemed like every time I wanted to make a little change it wasn't possible.
Then I discovered that the price difference between a domain on WordPress.com and an independently hosted site using the same, but better WordPress.org content management system is negligible. Depending on the hosting package, it can even cost less than WordPress.com
It's been a fun experience putting this site together and learning new tricks. There are several considerations to make when setting up a new website.
Domain name choices and registration.
I decided to use my own name, so that made choosing a domain name easy. A lot of women share my name, so I was lucky the domain name was available. If it had been taken, there were several options available. I could have used breslinwriter.com or annabreslinwriter.com or writerannabreslin.com A lot of writers use "writer" in their domain names, "author" is another option. I like the .com domain name suffix, but there are other options including: .net .org .name .info .me
When I created my first websites back in the late 1990's, I changed web hosts multiple times and always felt a bit frustrated by the process. It would take days for the changes to take place across the internet. When I set up this set, I decided to manage my domain name separately from my host. I registered with Google Domains. It was quick and easy to set up my new domain. I only had to fill in a few fields at my domain registration panel to get my sites up and running on my web host's servers. The annual fee to register the domain name is just $12.00
Selecting a web host
I looked at what various hosts had to offer and selected A2 Hosting. Why? I saw Blue Host referenced by others so frequently I had to question what they were offering besides a robust affiliate program. Sure enough, there was a teaser rate. When you added up all the add-ons or selected the WordPress hosting, it cost $20.00 a month – five times more than their teaser $3.95 rate. They also seem to have all kinds of limitations on the transfer rates, storage, and the number of domains that were included in their WordPress packages.
A2 Hosting offers many types of hosting. They also have low basic rates, but their WordPress hosting packages offer more and cost less than Blue Host. I selected the Turbo package which is an optimized version of WordPress with a faster load speed. It's less than $20.00 a month, and it has fewer limitations than Blue Host. What's more, for the first year, it's half price. The package offers:
- Unlimited Websites
- Unlimited Databases
- Unlimited Storage
- Unlimited Transfer
- cPanel Control Panel
- Free SSL & SSD
- Turbo (Up To 20X Faster)
- A2 Site Accelerator
- Anytime Money Back Guarantee
I like the idea of being able to create and host unlimited websites. I set up a site for a family member at no extra cost, and now we share the annual fee. I went with the turbo package because it's a better deal. There's nothing worse than a slow site. However, their mid-level package "Swift" is also a good bargain, and at less than $65.00 for the first year, it is less than Wordpess.com and much less than the starter package at Blue Host.
A2 Hosting's customer service has been fantastic. They helped me get everything set up quickly whether I reached out to them via email, phone, or chat. They are hands-down the best host I've ever dealt with, and I have over 20 years of experience with webhosts.
It's essential to set up your site with the SSL option. Some hosts make you pay extra for it. A2 Hosting does not. In order to keep your site secure, you need to be able to set it up with that https:// setting. Websites can get infected with malware if they're not set up with full security settings, so I appreciated that A2 Hosting included that in their hosting package.
Selecting a WordPress Theme
Working with a premium WordPress theme produces a much better result than the free themes. Moreover, the free themes are not necessarily secure, and they're not usually updated, so I didn't consider any free theme options.
I'm very happy with this site's design. But this wasn't the first theme I bought. I bought and struggled with another theme before realizing it simply didn't meet my needs. I wasted both time and money because once you pay for a theme, there's no refund even if you promise you won't use it.
ThemeForest offers some amazing WordPress Themes. They come with demos that are essentially ready-made sites. All you have to do is change a few graphics, delete the sample posts, write your posts and you have a great looking site/blog. A lot of themes come with support videos and forums.
Here are some tips for choosing a WordPress theme.
1. Read the details for each theme. How many sales have there been? The number of sales indicates the number of users. To be on the safe side, especially if you're doing this for the first time, pick a theme that has over 5,000 sales and is in version 3 or higher. Theme designers respond to user requests and make their themes better each time they make revisions. If a theme that is 3-5 years old and is in version 4 or 5 that proves the designer is committed to the theme and will continue to provide you with updates in the years to come. Website designs go stale over time. When a designer offers new features and new demos, that will keep your site looking modern. A theme in version 1.0 with 5 sales may be great, or it could be a total disaster and the designer might not be around in one year, let a lone three years. Are you willing to risk $29-$79.00 to find out what kind of support your theme will get?
2. Why do prices vary so much? It depends on the plug-ins that are included. A $29.00 theme may have a scaled-down version of the plug-ins you need, and you'll need to pay full price if you want the full version plug-ins with updates. $59.00 is a reasonable amount to pay for a premium theme and at that rate should include full versions of plug-ins.
3. Pick a theme with a demo you like. It will be quicker. Are you fussy about small details? The theme I originally used offered me the ability to change the font and sizes. But there was too much customization. I had to decide on the font height and size for each header and each platform and screen size. Then I had to check on my phone and on a tablet to make sure I selected the right size. My current theme has just the right level of customization and made changing fonts a lot easier.
4. Understand the limitations of a theme. Be certain you understand there may be only 4 header options on a post while there may be 22 options for the home page.
As a writer, the options for posts may be more important than the options for the front page layout. Look at the options for individual posts. Will you want to include video, audio, slideshows, lists, links, or recipes in your post? Do they offer those types of options? Most magazine/blog themes do offer these features. You can also get plug-ins for certain types of posts if it's not included in the theme. There's a ton of flexibility with WordPress, but it's not unlimited. The easiest approach is to get a theme that gives you the post options you want for the writing you'll be including at your site.
5. Preview! Log on to the live previews for each theme and play with the design options until you're really certain it will do what you want. I didn't like the themes designed specifically for writers and authors. They seemed less flexible, had few layout options, they weren't the most modern in style. Most had less than 5,000 in sales, and there were fewer reviews. I didn't see a single one that I loved.
6. Select a theme from the magazine/blog category. I made my selection from the magazine/blog category and looked for themes that were clean and responsive. There were several good options in that category. This site was created from the Soledad theme. Look at the typography page for each theme and consider the readability of those pages. You can change the font and font size, but everything will scale when you do according to how that typography page is set out. It's nice to have the option to customize but it can be time-consuming. It's easier if you select a theme that has good typography settings in the basic design.
7. Multi-purpose themes are another great option. There are many multi-purpose themes. Make sure you look closely at the blog pages included with them. Some have terrific homepage layouts and page layouts, but they have limited blog post and blog layout options. As a writer, you're going to want to use the blog option, make sure you love it.
8. Design your site right away, don't wait. Premium themes from ThemeForest come with six months support, so set up the theme when you purchase it to take full advantage of the support time. You can get support for a longer period of time if you pay an additional fee. My theme designer has gone so far as to log onto my site and make the changes I requested. Support like that is worth more than the $59.00 I paid for my theme.
Readability tips
1. Font size. Most sites use fonts that are too small and make it difficult to read large amounts of text. This font is set at 16px with the Montserrat font. It's easy on eyes. If you want your website to look clean, modern, and be readable, do a little research. Here's a great article on web typography I recommend.
2. Use white space. Break up your text.
3. Consider using columns, graphics, and dividers as a way to break up text to make it easier to read. Don't go overboard, make sure the page is easy to read on a phone.
Graphics programs
You're probably going to find you need or want a graphics program to filter and fix your photos and create title graphics. You may also want to add a favicon – that little graphic that appears on the browser tab and bookmarks.
Adobe offers Photoshop and LightRoom with a yearly subscription rate through Adobe or Amazon.
Canva.com offers free graphic designs as does Stencil.com
I signed up for the Photoshop and LightRoom bundle which includes a program called Spark which easily creates all kinds of social media and blog graphics. I found it easier to learn and use than Canva. The paid version of Canva costs more than Photoshop and doesn't offer everything the Adobe graphics programs can deliver.
If you don't know how to use a graphics program, you can take courses at Skillshare and Udemy on how to create graphics for your website. There are many websites offering tutorials on both Photoshop and LightRoom.
I already had the Adobe Photoshop and LightRoom package before I started this site, so I used it to create my title logo. It's simple; it's just my name in the Montserrat font with a drop shadow effect. My design aesthetic for this site is minimalist, so it was easy to create.
Final thoughts
I've had a presence on Medium.com for almost 3 years. It's nice to have my work included there and to take advantage of the built-in audience. There's a readership and a fellowship with other writers that's unmatched by any other site.
However, Medium doesn't offer a way for me to create my own site and define my presence on the internet the way a website does. Maybe it will provide more options in the future, or perhaps it will pass away the way so many other sites have over the years. No matter what happens, I will always have this site.

Gay fleshlight
Note to Canada Roxys available. Nothing evokes more horror and fear than a woman being powerful around her sexuality, Sylvest, a lawyer, says in an interview at the Commercial Drive store. I do it in the shower, I do it however I do it, and there isnt time to use gay fleshlight the Fleshlight. And so with that analogy. Next, we have Brooke Skye. Use our guide to choose and buy the Fleshlight insert that suits you. If you let yourself become enslaved to a sexual high, you will find that you need to go to increasingly extreme acts to maintain the same degree of excitement, the site says. The ribs jutting out below the head of the soft interior actually bend at the same time, turning it, and nearly doing a complete Gay fleshlight corkscrew to put it back into the flashlight. That way you know when youre too close, when you need to pull back keeping things right on edge is incredibly erotic, and the bigger, the harder, the stronger, the messier, the gay fleshlight more fun it is. If want to use it havery often its highly recommended to boy an original one from producers site. This is the insert that started it all. He predicted everything what makes this product special and unique. Its a quick rinse, and quite frankly, in the hundreds of times that Ive used it Ive never even used soap on it. And then theres the basic physiological need for Gay fleshlight men to spit-polish the purple helmet. The Stamina Training Unit is the newest addition to the Fleshlight family, and was designed to most closely replicate the true sensation of intercourse. A couple months later, his hamster got out of its cage and crawledinto his subwoofer, chewed through the cables, got electricuted anddied inside.

You've heard the cliché: Big things come in small packages. I'm not sure if the phrase fits anyone better than Male High School junior Emilia Sexton. The 5-foot-4 guard has been a leading scorer for the Lady Bulldogs ever since the eighth grade and has now emerged as the preeminent leader this season.
"She may be small in stature, but she does a lot on the basketball court," says Head Coach Champ Ligon Jr. "Every year she gets better. So we continue to rely heavily on her for scoring purposes and outside shooting. She is one of the best three-point shooters in the state. E is also a good passer. For as much scoring she does, she also gets a lot of assists. She is also one of the team leaders in steals. We count on her in pressure situations to hit key free throws and to handle the basketball. She is basically a major role in our success, and we continue to lean on her. Each year she gets a little stronger, smarter and a little bigger."
Sexton's mantra is, "It's not how big you are, it's how you play." Being a smaller guard, it's motivated her to outwork and perform others. As she goes, as does Male. Although the team is filled with talented players in the other four positions, she will be the gas that makes the engine go.
"This season, I strive to lead by example every day, both on and off the court," she says. "Coming into practice with a positive attitude, encouraging my teammates and bringing energy to the floor are just a few of the things I do to lead. My coaches count on me to be an extension of them out on the court, so I am able to direct my teammates on positioning during plays and set the tone."
As the catalyst, Sexton takes on a larger leadership role. For the past few seasons, she's played alongside star Iliyah Green. Now that Green has departed to the University of Cincinnati, teams will be giving Emilia more attention on the defensive end. Ligon sees it as a way to get the other players involved in the offense.
"Other teams have to spend a lot of time and energy to defend E offensively, and that opens things up for our other guards and post players. She is very unselfish with the basketball. So when the defense keys on her, she gets the ball to other players and helps them to enjoy success."
Leadership isn't the only thing on Sexton's agenda. This season, she looks to re-write the record books. As the year progresses, she will be closing in on 1,000 points in her high school career, positioning her to eclipse the all-time leading scoring mark in the girls' program.
"It is very exciting. I wouldn't be in the position I am in now without my coaches and teammates, past and present. I think it would be amazing to be the all-time leading scorer at Male, but my ultimate goal is to be an inspiration to all the future Lady Bulldogs out there," she maintains.
So far, everything seems to moving in the right direction. Male opened the season by defeating reigning state champs Butler. It's a rivalry between the traditional schools, and Butler has been on the winning end since Ligon's arrival. It was last team left on a list of opponents that Male hadn't beat in a while. Ligon says, "It was a very good win for us and gives us a lot of confidence moving forward."
Following that, Male beat a tough Bullitt East team, also ranked in the top 10. So expectations have been rising high for the ball club. After their season was cut short last year, falling to rival Manual in the regional championship, and then getting a taste of the state tournament the prior year before losing in the semi-final, Male has been playing with a chip on their shoulder knowing there is unfinished business to handle in the state tournament.
"The seventh region is probably the most loaded region in the state," Sexton adds. "To win the region and eventually the state championship we must play together, continue to improve and never give up. We must always remember to have fun as well. A majority of us have already been to the state tournament and know what it takes to get there."
Offensively, Male will be a hard team to stop. But it's safe to say on some nights, offenses seem to not show up. With Coach Ligon keeping that mind, he believes his team will have to get better on defense, rebounding and basketball IQ.
"If you look around the basketball landscape, that is one of the things that is missing a lot of time," he adds. "Kids can run up and down the floor and jump and shoot, but they don't have a high basketball IQ, nor do they understand game situations. But that is one area E really helps us on. She does have a high basketball IQ. As we move forward as a team – defense, rebounding and just understanding the game – that is either going to make or break us." VT

4th Friday Brings Ag to the 'Ville
Westerville, Ohio Dad always said money doesn't grow on trees and, as Ohio farmers will tell you, food doesn't grow at your local grocery store. At this month's Mount Carmel St. Ann's 4th Friday: Farm in the City, the Franklin County Farm Bureau will be on hand to show just what goes into bringing dinner to your table.
Farm in the City will take place on Friday, September 28, 2018 from 6-9pm in Uptown Westerville and is brought to you by the Westerville Visitors & Convention Bureau.
In addition to 120 street vendors, food trucks and extended hours in the Uptown Shops, the Ohio Soybean Council will display everyday foods made with soybeans and talk about what GMO really means. Expect to be surprised!
The Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association will be on hand with information about home grown fuel, being earth kind and being engine smart. Visitors to their special trailer will become acquainted with things made from corn and wheat.
A Master Gardener from the OSU Extension Office will answer even the toughest gardening questions and there will be a honey bee hive on display to show how honey is made and how bees make crops grow.
The issue of water run-off will be discussed using an augmented reality sandbox and 4-H Club members will show some award-winning projects. There will also be a continuous video about the history and programs of the Franklin County Farm Bureau shown near the Visitors Bureau office at 20 W. Main St.
Be sure to stop at Uptown on Main, 64 E. Main, to visit two little pigs that live with Westerville South graduate Dan Bokros and his wife Christie at their home, Red Dog Ranch. The pigs will be on display in the garden.
Musical entertainment will include Change It Up Charlie on the Visitors Bureau Music Stage; The Ohio Bluegrass Association on E. College Ave. and performances by Generations Performing Arts Center, the Taoist Tai Chi Society and ProFencing.
Meanwhile further south at the Westerville Public Library, 126 S. State St., the Lynd Fruit Farm will have samples different apple varieties to try while enjoying stories about Johnny Appleseed. These activities will be moved indoors to the Combined Meeting Rooms in case of inclement weather.
As in past months, State St. (State Route 3) will close at 5:30p.m. and will be closed until 9:15p.m. for the event. For additional details about street closures, see below.
Attendees will not only enjoy extended hours in the Uptown shops and restaurants, but street vendors and food trucks along State St. as well as the side streets featuring all manner of products and services.
The Arts Council of Westerville will have arts activities and artwork on display in the parking lot of Union Savings Bank, 44 S. State St. and on the north side of Hanby Elementary School.
As the kick-off to the Community Culture Celebration to take place on Sunday, September 20 from 1-5pm at The Point at Otterbein University, 4th Friday attendees are invited to join Hands Across Westerville at 7pm. Look for volunteers with hand signs for directions.
Mix 107.9 will be on W. Main St. close to the drop-off point for the AAA Ohio Auto Club 4th Friday Shuttle at 20 W. Main St. Attendees can park at The Point at Otterbein University, 60 Collegeview Ave. and ride the free shuttle Uptown to enjoy the festivities. The shuttle will run every 15 minutes until 9p.m.
For cyclists, the Westerville Bicycle Club will sponsor a free Bike Corral. This year, it will be next to Jimmy V's, 1 S. State St. and will be accessible from the City Hall parking lot or State St. They will do short maintenance checks and keep bikes secure while their owners enjoy the event.
Also on 4th Friday, by a proclamation of Westerville City Council, the City will celebrate Jeff Hartnell Day, in honor of Westerville Visitors & Convention Bureau Executive Director Jeff Hartnell who passed away last month. Green balloons and green ribbons will be distributed in remembrance of Hartnell, a nod to his alma mater, Michigan State.
"Jeff was so passionate about 4th Fridays and he was especially excited about this one," said WVCB Marketing Coordinator Glenda Mihaly. "When we came up with this new theme, 'Farm in the City' he was insistent that people have fun, but also learn something important about agriculture and sustainability. The best way to pay tribute to my boss and my friend is for as many people as possible to this last event that we worked on together, have a great time with your family, wear a green ribbon on top of your scarlet and gray and remember that your food does not come from a cardboard box."
Mount Carmel St. Ann's 4th Fridays are held on the fourth Friday of each month, April through September and are free festivals with an average attendance of 11,000 people each month. For more information please contact WVCB Marketing Coordinator Glenda Mihaly at email@example.com or 614-794-0401.

Healthy diet plans for long health life
Author: Richard A. Flavell
Healthy diet plans are essential to assisting you live a long and illness free life. Are more important than even quick extender pro exercise, look http://malebiologicalclock.com/quick-extender-pro-reviews.html. Nutritious diet programs don't necessarily mean that you ought to starve to stay in shape and nimble. Good diet plans begin with food shopping. Proper dieting options center around fresh and unsaturated foods, which means veggies, lean meat and fresh fruits must also be consistently in the shopping trolley. This definitely fits natural health care solutions.
Proper dieting strategies are adaptable and sensible; they aren't rigid three-meal-a-day programs that don't permit vitality. Healthy diet plans stress eating nutritionally more than fat reduction whilst weight loss programs concentrate just on shedding pounds and place a lesser focus on nutrition. Appropriate food choices begin in the food store, so find someone happy to go with you, on your regular food run.
Proper dieting blueprints don't have any room for junk food, so don't even start. Unhealthy foods are an ideal formula for disaster, when it relates to health conditions. They're a top reason for heart-attacks, unhealthy weight, digestion complications and stuff like that. So, if you're looking at balanced and healthy diet, please don't have any room at all for junk food. In addition, ensure that lots of whole grains are incorporated in spot of oils and unhealthy fats.
Therefore to adhere to healthy diet plans, you'll want to think positive and be ready to make adjustments in your life styles and food practices. Using proper diet strategies makes it possible for many individuals to live with no severe diet constraints, while keeping a good body image and superb wellness level. While healthy diet plans might exist primarily for people seeking to lose weight, even proper weight reduction can't take place without the appropriate nutrition present in good diet plans.
Healthy diet plans are nutritious
Nutritious diet plans are the ones which cover every one of the bases with regards to nutrition. In the case of most obese men and women, their fundamental diet is what's to blame. Lots of people eat food which has very little nutritional benefit but could have a 'kick' of carbohydrates or proteins. This fulfills the craving of the person but actually leaves your body wanting with regards to essential minerals and vitamins. Good diet plans are created to steer clear of highly processed foods. Most refined food items lose their healthy benefits in the course of processing. Processed rice for instance is significantly less healthy than brown rice although it might be delicious. Ditch the sugar and you're well on the healthy eating path and will soon be losing weight too.
The most beneficial wholesome diet plans consist of raw foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and beans. The reason why they're so healthy for you is because they contain enzymes which the body would need to aid itself digest the food. Anytime food is cooked at temperatures more than 118 degrees Fahrenheit, the enzymes can't survive.
Other proper diet ideas such as several meals per day to get rid of body fat can be ideal if you are a habitual of over eater. It's not important to add up calories when using a diet plan. By shelling out hundreds of bucks, you might not get the slender physique which you constantly craved for. So just eat healthy and try some fast weight loss plan to burn fat.
The best healthy diet plans should offer a much better understanding of how the body operates.

As I write this I am sitting on the floor in front of our little electric fireplace. Why? Because the rest of the house is 62 degrees. We are still working on getting the heat installed. The last five days have been spent in the crawlspace running pex lines and transfer plates. For those of you not familiar with radiant heat here's a quick summary of how our system will work. Water is heated to 130 degrees by our tankless heater and is circulated through flexible plumbing lines run between the floor joists. Aluminum plates help to transfer the heat through the floor to heat the house.To do this we have to run two lines in each bay. Since 2/3 rd's of the house is over a crawlspace this means spending a lot of time crawling on our hands and knees, contorting around supports, compressors and random piles of concrete. I've spent most of the last few days looking like this.
We've now run five of the eight circuits needed to heat the house. We're able to finish about one a night after I get off work. Once all the circuits are in we will still have to install the pumps, manifolds and heat exchanger. We are hoping to have working heat by the end of the month.

Recent reviews
Very Good 8.4 From 145 reviews
Excellent location across from the Colosseum. Can walk everywhere. Staff was helpful in confirming shuttle to cruise port. Tasty food at the Coming Out bar on first floor. Would stay here again.
Very good location
This was our second stay. There's a good chance we'll be back. The mattress aren't what Americans are used too. And the hall door closes very loudly. Otherwise it was a great location, condition, price. Very happy overall.
Although aimed towards lgbtq they were very family and straight friendly. Would not have know if I hadn't read other reviews. very clean and quiet even though it's right near a major tourist sight
This was my second stay at this hotel and the second stay wasn't quite as good as the first. I checked in before 4:00 p.m. but it was a chore finding the person at the front desk. The nice staff at the cafe below was kind enough to call them so we could get checked in. The room itself was a struggle for me, particularly the bathroom. The sink area was located under a low ceiling and even though I am only 6' tall, I kept hitting my head constantly on the ceiling as I walked to the sink. Brushing teeth, shaving, etc. involved stooping down to avoid hitting my head on the ceiling. Finally, even though the hotel has done a credible job of soundproofing the rooms, the decibel level from the cafe downstairs was off the charts. On Wednesday night, there was a live stage show and the volume was turned up so loud that the walls were shaking. We went downstairs to have a beer and could not even hear each other if we screamed because the volume on the stage was so loud. I love the Coming Out Cafe but for god sake man, you don't need to crank up the music that loud for such a small location. Overall it wasn't a bad stay but I would definitely request a room with a more functional bathroom on the next visit.

Railway Series Book
Percy the Small Engine
Previous Episode
Next Episode
It was summertime on Sodor, and Thomas brought the Sunday school children to the beach. He reached the station where Percy was taking the stone trucks to the harbor. Thomas kindly requested Percy to take the children home and Percy agreed to do so.
The children had a very wonderful time at the beach, but by the afternoon, there was a dark cloud lashing overhead. There was a thunder storm happening and the children all left the beach and asked the Stationmaster if they can go home. Then, Percy came to the station at where Annie and Clarabel were glad when he arrived. He was just in time. Rain streamed into Percy's boiler. Percy is distinguished by the rain, but despite thinking of being in the nice dry sheds, he manages to get on with it.
As Percy began the journey, he struggled past the Coastal Villages and into the countryside. The heavy rain makes the river very quickly and the visibility is poor for Percy and battles the elements, but there is trouble ahead; a flood has flowed over the tracks and washed Percy's fire. His crew then tried to find more firewood and his fireman suggests the guard gives some floorboards from the brake van. The guard grumbled to the fireman that he had just swept the floor but still manages to help. Percy's firebox burns well and feels more comfortable again. Then Percy sees Harold, who thinks Harold has come to laugh at him, a parachute thuds on top of Percy's boiler. His driver laughs and tells Percy that Harold has thoughtfully given the crew hot drinks. Percy thanks Harold for the hot drinks, and Harold thanks them back before flying away.
As Percy continues his journey, he was losing steam but plunged bravely along the flood water. He made several efforts, and triumphantly brings the children home. Thomas congratulates Percy for keeping his promise despite everything. The Fat Controller and Harold arrive and thanks both Percy, his crew, and the men. The Fat Controller is impressed with Percy's efforts, and congratulates Percy for being a really useful engine.

We are very honored to partner with such a great organization as MDA to continue to raise funds for such a great cause and hopefully one day a cure. Our firefighters work hard in helping MDA and have done so for the past 30 years. In total, our WRFD has raised over $3.2M and that is largely due to the support of our community and surrounding areas.
Thanks, Mandy Stella

"White Rabbit"
Sometimes CKTZ takes the Cortes Island Lip Sync to the neighbor Quadra Island, as it was this case. The intended singer of the Cortes performance was another person, but because she could not go to Quadra, the amazing artist and creator of this act, Meinsje Vlaming, invited me to lip sync the great Grace Slick, still celebration the 67 Summer of Love. And, with a lot of effort, we could convince my partner Lyle Brulhart to perform as well, as the Mad Hater. Also on this act are the CKTZ manager, Howie Roman as the Rabbit, Carina Verhoeve as the Caterpillar, Norleen Lillico as Alice, and the creator Meinsje Vlaming as the Queen of Hearts. So much fun to be part of this incredible team!

"I think that above everything else a painting should be an ornament", Maurice Denis.
"We are pattern seekers", Kepler.
My work relates to the landscape and to pattern. In my paintings I think of two systems being at play together: the form, colour, and texture of my surroundings; with geometrical pattern and space. They would appear to be quite opposed, but mathematical order permeates everything. Galileo said, 'The book (of nature) is written in mathematical language....' This mathematical language seems to reflect the rhythms of the organic world as well as behaving as an intermediary to contemplation of it. I experiment with this interplay of colour, landscape and geometric pattern, often Islamic pattern, using it to underpin the formal issues of painting and also to explore it as a metaphor for my experience of the world.

Stay safe in the mountains
Hiking and walking is one of the best ways to experience Slovakia's magnificent mountains. Follow these tips to keep yourself safe while hiking.
Slovakia has four very distinct seasons, out of which the best for hiking is autumn. The weather is somewhat stable and there is only small probability of sudden storms or fog. But the devoted hikers know the truth: every season gives such a different and unique feel to the landscape, that the time does not really matter... as long as you stay safe on your trip.
Every year there is small number of accidents and deaths during hiking, ski mountaineering and climbing in Slovakia mountains. Never underestimate mountains!
The trails in Slovak mountains are well-marked, indicated by colored markers, with arrows to show you the way on most crossings. The trails are open from 15th of June until the 1st of November. This is not only for tourists' own safety, but also because of the peace of mountain fauna. Most of the trails are led on a rock ground, which usually tends to be adorned by mosses and lichens. Wear proper hiking boots to provide good grip and ankle support. It is usually quite cold and windy in the higher regions (peaks and mountain ridges), so pack a jacket and two extra singlets even if it's warm and sunny in the valley. You'll appreciate the extra base layers also because you'll be sweaty in no time.
Before your hike
- Always make sure to check the weather on your mobile phone right before your trip.
- Get a special one-day mountain hike insurance. That can be done in infocentres in the base (usually the resort you start your trip from, like Tatranska Lomnica or Strbske pleso). The insurance costs about 1.40€ per day.
- Save the nonstop emergency mountain rescure number 18 300 to your phone.
- Have an extra pair of socks, a windstopping jacket, extra base layers and a lot of water in your backpack.
- The flashlight/headlight might not seem that important, but if you get just a bit late, you'll be thanking all gods you have it
- Use a sunscreen lotion on unprotected skin or else you won't recognize the red man in the mirror. Mountain sun does that.
Rain and storm in the mountains
Especially during spring and summer, unexpected rains and storms that can make you review all your life decisions, are a real threat.
When storm is coming (usually in the afternoon hours), flee to the valley, if possible. The vast majority of fatalities by hitting streak happened on the mountain ridge. If descent is not possible, you should seek appropriate shelter, but watch out for rock overhangs or rock walls, they do not protect against natural stream. I'd rather get wet should it be a few meters from the rock wall. Keep the metal things away from you, drop your backpack somewhere (if possible, where it's protected from rain). Squat with your feet together and hands on knees. Do not hide under the trees - especially the highest, or alone - or poles of voltage.
After rain the trails are slippery, increase your attention to the maximum. Rain and fog can lead to temporary loss of orientation, so it is necessary to remember the most significant morphological features in the vicinity. If hiking in a group, talk to each other or hold one rope to make sure you stay close.
Well... that's it for today, kids and remember: if you want to be in an extreme environment, be extremely prepared!
Have a safe and magnificent trip!

Movie Review: 'Yesterday' never knows
Monday, July 22, 2019 [1] by Paul Willistein email@example.com [2] in Focus [3]
The film title, "Yesterday," is ironic.
The film is about a today when the only person who seems to remember The Beatles and knows the Fab Four's songs is down-on-his luck folksinger Jack Malik (Himesh Patel). When Jack plays his own original songs, he's used to performing for one person at a beachside gig, a few friends at a pub and gets by with a little help from his daytime job at a retail discount warehouse store. Jack begins playing Beatles' songs. He becomes a one-man Beatles' cover band and worldwide web sensation. He's the Fab One.
The film is a about a tomorrow when the pop-rock band, The Beatles, never existed.
The film's premise is as preposterous as conspiracy theorists who believe that 12 United States NASA astronauts never walked on the Moon in the nine Apollo missions (December 1968 - December 1972).
The film's premise is as preposterous as the theory that William Shakespeare didn't write his own plays, but any of some 80 authorship candidates could have, including William Stanley, Sixth Earl of Derby.
Of course, The Beatles (1960-1960), said to be the world's greatest pop band, existed and wrote, recorded and played their own songs.
However, across the universe in "Yesterday," when the lights go out for some 13 seconds worldwide and Jack is hit by a minibus while riding his bicycle, he awakens in the hospital, sans two front teeth and recuperating from other injuries. Jack's offhand Beatles' references go "whoosh" over the head of his female friend, the appropriately and punily named Ellie Appleton (Lily James).
It isn't only Ellie and Jack's friends who never heard of The Beatles. When Jack Googles The Beatles, images and text about beetles appear in his search. There are other humorous "mishappenstances." For instance, Coca-Cola doesn't exist. Pepsi, yes. But no Coke.
Other funny references to "a world without ... " are sprinkled throughout the film. To reveal them would spoil your enjoyment of the film as would a disclosure about a big reveal toward the end of the film.
The screenplay by Richard Curtis ("About Time," 2012; "Love Actually," 2003; "Four Weddings and a Funeral," 1994) based on a story by Curtis and Jack Barth (British TV's "The Fabulous Picture Show," 2011) is smart, funny and captivating.
Here's an example: "Miracles happen all the time," says Ellie. "Like what?" asks Jack. "Benedict Cumberbatch becoming a sex symbol," answers Ellie.
Director Danny Boyle (Oscar recipient, director, "Slumdog Millionaire," 2009; director, "127 Hours," 2010; "Millions," 2004; "The Beach," 2000; "A Life Less Ordinary," 1997; "Trainspotting," 1996) gets terrific performances from Patel (British TV's "Eastenders," 2007-2016), who evokes deer-in-headlights surprise and vulnerability; James (British TV's "Downton Abbey," 2012-2015), beguiling and steadfast; Kate McKinnon (Emmy, supporting actress, "Saturday Night Live," 2017, 2016), as a music business executive in an Oscar supporting actress nominee-worthy performance; Meera Syal and Sanjeev Bhaskar, hilarious as Jack's parents; Joel Fry, over-the-top great as Jack's aide de camp, and pop singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran as himself, unassumingly delightful.
Boyle's film themes are often about the miracle of luck, or the luck of miracles, on an individual. "Yesterday" continues his exploration.
Boyle, working with Director of Photography Christopher Ross ("Room," 2015), Editor Jon Harris (Oscar nominee, editing, "127 Hours") and Production Designer Patrick Rolfe ("127 Days"), creates a visually-stunning and graphically-rich world with psychedelic poster, cell-phone emojis and pop-culture influences.
Boyle's knack for creating the mise-en-scène is much in evidence in "Yesterday" with wonderful and fascinating depictions of England, Moscow and Los Angeles. Boyle always puts his own spin on his surroundings and "Yesterday" is no exception.
And then there's the treasure trove of Beatles' songs, sung quite well by Patel in new arrangements and presented in situations that breathe new life into, and give new interpretations of, the lyrics. Composer Daniel Pemberton ("Steve Jobs," 2015) successfully echoes The Beatles' sound.
Along with 2019's "Bohemian Rhapsody," which was about Freddy Mercury and Queen and their lives, songs and impact, and "Rocketman," which was about Elton John and his life, music and impact, "Yesterday," though not about the lives of The Beatles (perhaps with one fictionalized exception), is certainly about the Lads from Liverpool songs and cultural impact.
As it's stated in "Yesterday," to "power-phrase": "A world without The Beatles? Unimaginable."
And, in the end, "Yesterday" gets to the heart of what songwriting, fame, true love and a life well-loved and well-lived is all about. "Yesterday" is not only fun, it may give you pause to reevaluate your life, goals and ambitions.
As Jack sings "Help!" as a desperate cry, we see the audience cheering, essentially being entertained by someone else's pain. There's a lesson in that.
Ultimately, "Yesterday" will put a smile on your face and a bounce in your step. See "Yesterday" today. Don't wait until tomorrow. "Yesterday" never knows. And that's OK, my friend.
"Yesterday" is the sleeper hit of Summer 2019. It's a must-see for Beatles' buffs and those who think Paul McCartney's most famous band was Wings.
"Yesterday," MPAA Rated PG-13 (Parents Strongly Cautioned Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Parents are urged to be cautious. Some material may be inappropriate for pre-teenagers. Some material may be inappropriate for pre-teenagers.) for suggestive content and language; Genre: Fantasy, Comedy, Musical; Run Time: 1 hr., 56 mins. Distributed by Universal Pictures.

"The Lion King" opening was the biggest-ever for July, surpassing the previous record of $169.1 million by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2" (2011).

"Midsommar" dropped one place, $1.5 million, $22.4 million, three weeks. 10. "The Secret Life Of Pets 2" dropped one place, $1.5 million, $151.5 million, seven weeks.
It was a weekend not only of the 50th anniversary of the first man on the moon, but the weekend when "Avengers: Endgame" replaced "Avatar" as the biggest-grossing film worldwide with a tally, and still counting, of $2.79 billion.

The National 'Mistaken for Strangers: The Play' (ft. Zach Galifianakis and Ted Danson)
Published Jul 22, 2014Earlier this year, New York indie act the National released their Mistaken for Strangers documentary. The film was equally poignant and humourous, meaning it'd be great for a stage adaptation. At least, that's what a new Funny or Die sketch would have you believe.
The clip stars former Bored to Death co-stars Ted Danson and Zach Galifianakis. It follows the two, faux-documentary style, as they work out scenes from the play. Galifianakis says he turned down the role of Shrek on Broadway to do the play, explaining that he had already done Shrek off Broadway. Danson says he's excited to reverse the creative process by adapting the documentary for stage.
In addition to the actors, the short film stars the National's Matt Berninger and his brother, Mistaken for Strangers star Tom Berninger.

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think were old (30 years strong!) and only about hardware, but were also a software company. And a security company. An AI/Machine Learning company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do you cant put us in a box!

We take accountability, we take bold steps, and we take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a commitment to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

This week's Daily Post photo challenge is dinnertime.
I was on my way home at lunchtime today, when I saw a friend staring into a bush. She hadn't spotted, what she was looking for, but I did.
The light was from the wrong direction and I didn't want to walk all around the bush possibly disturbing the subject of the photo, which was perhaps waiting for its own dinner to arrive –by pigeon post!
