ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – The links and lakes were appealing to Jack Del Rio, just not as enticing as the green grass and white lines of the football field where he's spent most of his life.
So, after briefly contemplating sitting out the 2012 season, Del Rio decided to jump right back into the NFL fray, replacing Dennis Allen as Denver's defensive co-ordinator this week.
He could have sat back and relaxed while earning the US$5 million left on his contract when the Jacksonville Jaguars fired him in November.
Now, the Jaguars will pay him the difference between that total and his salary in Denver.
"Yeah, I thought a lot about it," Del Rio said of sitting out the season. "I had a lot of advice from my friends who are professionals out there."
They all told him to stay away from the game and take a sabbatical from all those stressful Sundays at the stadium.
"But I love to compete," said Del Rio, a former linebacker for the Saints, Chiefs, Cowboys and Vikings before embarking on a coaching career.
Del Rio's hiring reunites Broncos coach John Fox with his first defensive co-ordinator from Carolina.
"It's good to be back with him," Del Rio said. "He's a good man, he's a good coach."
Del Rio left Fox's Panthers staff after one year and went 69-73 in 8 1/2 seasons with the Jaguars, including 1-2 in the playoffs.
He demurred when asked Monday if he aspires to be a head coach again.
"Right now, I'm excited to be here," he said. "I had nine good years in Jacksonville. Maybe someday. But that's really not in the forefront of my thinking. Right now, first and foremost for me is to get settled in here and get to work in terms of evaluating the tape and the season and getting ready for the off-season, personnel and all those things, system adjustments. And getting my family settled."
Del Rio said the two months he had away from the game were more than enough to make him miss it.
"I certainly had some time to sit back and reflect and I'm very appreciative of the time I had down there, nine wonderful years competing, a great place to raise a family," Del Rio said. "And so, there was time to kind of reflect on that, kind of decompress a little bit, kind of unwind. I did some of that. And I find myself right now rejuvenated."
He couldn't wait to get started, either. So, while the rest of Fox's staff takes a break this week, Del Rio is putting in long hours at the team's Dove Valley complex to catch up on the defence he inherited.
Allen left after one year in Denver to serve as the head coach of the Oakland Raiders after his aggressive style helped the Broncos recover from a miserable 2010 season in which they fielded the league's worst defence.
The Broncos reached the playoffs for the first time since 2005 and upset Pittsburgh in the playoffs before losing to New England.
"They made some strides last year," Del Rio said. "We just want to build on that and … help this football team win. I feel like last year was a good start in that direction."
Del Rio is the Broncos' seventh defensive co-ordinator in seven seasons. Other men who have filled the Mile High musical chair in the last six seasons are Larry Coyer (2006), Jim Bates (2007), Bob Slowik (2008), Mike Nolan (2009) and Don Martindale (2010).
With such annual turnover, it wasn't surprising when safety Brian Dawkins tweeted, "Love the hire, just hope we can keep him around," when Del Rio's hiring was announced Friday night.
"That's an unusual thing to have happen," Del Rio said of a team having a different co-ordinator in each of seven straight seasons. "… I can't really speak to what it was before and I have no idea about what it's going to be going forward, but I know I'm fired up to be here."
Coming over from Jacksonville with Del Rio is strength and conditioning coach Luke Richesson, who spent the last three seasons on the Jaguars staff.

I've been demo'ing at Old Dry Road Farm http://www.dryroadfarm.net/ for 16 or so years and usually it's humid and quite warm.
Not this time.
We had a good crowd come out with the cool weather and I showed how to make strap hinge finials throughout the day.
Making hooks was getting old so figured I'd try something different.
Also gives me some good practice fullering with the edge of the anvil and hammer.
In past years I would demo dutch oven cooking and make PUD cake, a main meal and rustic bread.
Friends of ours have two daughters that are interested in dutchies and along with two of their friends, did the dutch oven demo this time.
They made up some great food!
In the photo I was playing around with a spear point finial.
Next demo is at the Hay Creek Apple Festival: http://www.haycreek.org/festivals.htm

Detail Your Car Like a Pro
May 11, 2015 03:58AM
By Family Features
(Family Features) As warmer weather approaches, car lovers are eager to raise the garage doors and get behind the wheel to experience the thrill of the open road. Keeping your car in top condition lets you enjoy those moments to the fullest.
"Choosing the right products for detailing and restoration can really make a difference when preserving your vehicle," said Craig Jackson, Barrett-Jackson chairman and chief executive officer. "When you're giving your car a full detail or even just a quick touch-up, you want to feel confident that your vehicle is protected and looks its best. Now you can bring the million dollar look of Barrett-Jackson home."
Whether it's an older model you've lovingly restored or a more contemporary vehicle you want to keep looking like a million dollars, these tips will help maintain the appearance (and value) of your vehicle so you're ready to roll in style.
A thorough cleaning will help shed accumulated dirt and sediment from a harsh winter, especially for a vehicle that is driven year round. Give special attention to the undercarriage, where potentially destructive materials such as salt can become trapped and corrosive. Even if your car is garaged for the winter, a wash is a good starting place to rinse away dust and start the season fresh.
Tires send a strong message about your vehicle. Brake dust, grime and dirt can give your car a dull and aged appearance, so take time to scrub not only the tires themselves, but also the wheels and surrounding carriage. Add shine with a water-based spray formula that contains silicone emulsions to penetrate the rubber.
Finish with a wax that gives an extra element of shine while protecting the finish in between washes. Barrett-Jackson's Rapid Detailer and Liquid Wax Kit, which includes Liquid Wax, applicator pad and microfiber towel, provides a deep, wet shine with no residue and long-lasting durability. Formulated with hydrophobic polymers and genuine carnauba wax, it works on all exterior surfaces including plastic, rubber and trim.
In addition to using quality detailing products, it's also important to make sure you have the right car care accessories as well. Use a sponge or cleaning mitten that's made for washing cars instead of an old rag. When applying wax, its best to use an applicator pad, or even better, buy a wax kit that includes one. Using a microfiber towel is great for buffing off wax or polishing interior and will not leave the lint typical of a cotton towel.
Even if you're meticulous about your car's interior, odds and ends still find their way into crevices and under seats. Take a few moments to clear debris and then vacuum all over to remove any smaller particles.
An important aspect of keeping the interior looking new and healthy is replacing the moisture depleted by the sun's harsh glare. One good option is a premium three-in-one product such as Barrett-Jackson Leather Cleaner & Conditioner, which contains glycerin moisturizers to clean, moisturize and protect leather. It can be used on leather and trim, and provides UV protection to help prevent fading, cracking and discoloration.

XMRV is a newly identified human retrovirus that is similar to a group of mouse retroviruses (called murine leukemia viruses, or MLVs) scientists have known about for years. XMRV refers to xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus. It was first identified in 2006 in tissue samples from men with prostate cancer.
In a study published in the journal Science in October 2009, scientists reported a potential association of XMRV with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). In this study, XMRV was detected in approximately two-thirds of patients diagnosed with CFS. They also identified DNA of XMRV in the blood cells of some healthy persons and suggested a potential for XMRV transmission by transfusion or transplantation.
However, other recent studies, including a July 2010 research report from CDC scientists and colleagues at two other institutions, found no evidence of XMRV in CFS patients and in controls (see Updates).
More recently, investigators from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Harvard Medical School published a report that presents evidence of MLVs in blood samples from CFS patients and healthy blood donors. The authors state that although they found a broader group of MLVs, rather than XMRV, their results support the 2009 report in Science. The FDA /NIH paper was published online August 23, 2010, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The reporting of different findings from different studies is not uncommon. Various factors may have contributed to the differences in these studies, including selection criteria for inclusion of CFS patients, clinical complexities of CFS, and possible variations in XMRV and MLV infection rates among populations in different regions. Moreover, XMRV is a recently discovered virus and much remains to be learned about this and MLV-like viruses. As additional studies are done, it is possible that new findings may emerge that differ from what has been previously reported.
The potential role of XMRV and MLVs in causing diseases such as prostate cancer and CFS remains unknown at this time. Additional research is needed to further evaluate a possible link of XMRV and MLVs with negative health outcomes, including prostate cancer and CFS. If it is determined that XMRV and MLVs may have a role in causing disease and illness, prevention recommendations can be made.
Although it is presumed that XMRV can be transmitted through blood transfusion, no such transmission event has been identified, and there is no known evidence of XMRV or MLV infection or related illness or disease in transfusion recipients. Agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are conducting studies to determine the prevalence of XMRV in the blood donor population.
CDC, FDA, and NIH investigators have been collaborating with scientists from other agencies and groups with regard to XMRV and MLV research, and they will continue to do so. HHS agencies will keep the public updated and informed as more information becomes available.

text: I haven't seen it, but I suppose that qualifies Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, since it is a TV series after all? What about Babylon 5? Well, I could make that argument up until The Lost Tales, anyway. The Vorlon (or other First Ones) advanced tech seem to be the root of anything perceived to be supernatural on that series. Of course, the "demon" in The Lost Tales doesn't fit that explanation. It's nearly presented as a demon. Yes, there are pseudo scientific explanations that can be made about it (and have been on these boards), but that's not really found in the text of the episode.

Your card is propped up on my desk, where I can look at it and smile.
Best wishes to you,
Rita Dove

The sound of the Stinger will have your audience buzzing.
Tune the Stinger high and hit it hard... Don't worry, it'll only hurt for a second. This Black Panther Snare features a 1mm steel shell with 45 bearing edges and measures 10" x 5-1/2".
It also features a handbuilt and hand-finished Black Panther drum shell and completely redesigned hardware. From the fresh, sculpted lug design to the smart new badge, Mapex Black Panther snare drums are now more beautiful than ever.
Mapex Black Panther hardware
The cylinder-drive strainer uses a self-lubricating bearing to ensure smooth operation while providing minute control of the snare tension. Mapex's piston-style throw-off is incredibly smooth and requires minimal effort to operate, and the adjustment dial employs micro-lock technology that provides a tactile click as it's turned, allowing precise control.
Sonic Saver Hoop
The Sonic Saver Hoop bridges the gap between flanged hoops and die cast hoops. A unique shaping process creates a profile that reduces wear and tear to both sticks and hands while dramatically enhancing the response and feel of every rimshot.
The Sonic Saver is significantly lighter than a conventional die cast hoop, so it won't choke the shell's vibration. The result is a more natural percussive sound with much greater resonance.
This Mapex Black Panther snare drum features stainless steel snare wires for crisp, lively action, and premium Remo drum heads, including a coated Ambassador batter head.

Choose COLOR:
Inspired by the lamps of miners and workers, Cage is enclosed by a metal cage which here becomes a decorative element and the name of the lamp. The contrast between the glossy surface of the blown glass diffuser and the hand-crafted steel external cage makes Cage unique. A strong design concept, Cage is a complete collection with floor, suspension and table lamp versions. Like a real building site lamp, the practical Cage table lamp can be hung, moved or placed on any surface or on the floor or it can be used as a quirky desk lamp. With its chromed support, Cage Mic looks a little like a slightly retro microphone. Cage Rocket, on the other hand, resembles a little rocket ready for launching with its tripod base made of the same material as the metal cage.

I have decided to ease up a little on the French version of this blog about genealogy. I have written close to 950 articles since January 2008.
That's a lot!
Last week I learned why I wrote so many.
It's all about dopamine.
Click here to view a video telling the effect of texting and its probable cause.
The title is Are We Digital Dummies?
The rush you get when you go looking for your ancestors is probably related to dopamine just like when you're texting your friends on your Blackberry. You just can't stop.
Call it addiction…
Anyway, my friend Ron sent me this burial act dated 1892!
He wants to come to Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines to find Jacques Bélisle's grave.
I always thought Jacques Bélisle was buried in Montreal.
Guess what?
Ron sent me that burial act, but since he can't read French well enough, he could not figure out what it said.
Well I can.
I know Ron reads my English version of my blog about genealogy so I know, dopamine or not, that he will be back tomorrow to learn where Jacques Bélisle was buried.
See you tomorrow.

Eric Schwaab, a native Baltimorean who's spent the last three years in the federal government overseeing fisheries and coastal conservation efforts, is returning home to take a new post at the National Aquarium.
Schwaab, 52, currently an acting assistant secretary in the leadership at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, will join the aquarium July 1 as its first-ever senior vice president and chief conservation officer, the Inner Harbor nonprofit announced Wednesday.
"Eric's wealth of experience and passion will help us expand and better promote conservation action to protect the ocean, our planet's life support system," said John Racanelli, the aquarium's CEO.
Before joining NOAA, Schwaab spent roughly two decades with the state Department of Natural Resources, where he held a variety of posts including deputy secretary and fisheries director.
He was tapped in 2010 by NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco as assistant administrator for fisheries. At the time, New England lawmakers in Congress were calling for Lubchenco's resignation over revelations that agency law enforcement officials were using fishing penalty payments to buy cars and boats, go to international conferences and fund covert activities with little budget oversight. Some fishermen also were unhappy over catch limits imposed by NOAA.
Schwaab said Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., who had been among those calling for Lubchenco to leave, told him that "the jury was still out on me. I don't know how he feels about me today."
The tensions stemmed in part from Congress directing NOAA to end overfishing and rebuild depleted fisheries. Schwaab said Wednesday that he feels the agency has done that now. He also said he felt good about NOAA's role in establishing "catch share" programs, in which fishermen divide up the harvest among themselves and can enhance their income by choosing when to bring their catch to market.
Last year, Lubchenco named Schwaab NOAA's acting assistant secretary for conservation and management, where he focused on broader issues of protecting and restoring ocean and coastal habitat, especially in the face of climate change.
"The best management of fishermen is going to be for naught if we don't deal with some of these long-term habitat challenges," he said in an interview Wednesday.
Though the position requires Senate confirmation, Schwaab said he took it with the understanding he was only filling in until a permanent replacement could be found. Earlier this year, Lubchenco, a longtime academic scientist, left NOAA to return to academe. Kathryn Sullivan, an oceanographer who at one time was NOAA's chief scientist, has since been named acting undersecretary of commerce in charge of the agency.
Schwaab said he was torn about taking the aquarium job, but ultimately felt it offered both professional and personal opportunities.
"It presents for me a new challenge, an oppportunity to not only engage differently around these important coastal and ocean conservation issues, but to do so with the express purpopse of reaching a much broader audience," he said.
Latest Environment
Schwaab's roots are here. He earned a bachelor's degree in biology from McDaniel College in Westminster and a master's in geography and environmental planning at Towson University.

Feminism | Posted by Chris X on 09/19/2012
Recently a girl in my area was walking to her car after sports practice with a boy with whom she was on good terms. She had flirted with him a little at a previous football game and he figured that meant she wanted to hook up with him. Earlier in the day, she had told him she might be interested in starting something, but on the walk back to her car she decided that she did not want to do anything sexual with this boy and told him so when he brought it up again.
While she was putting her bags in the trunk of her car, the boy opened the side door of her car and got in. He wouldn't move and she thought he was just trying to …

Services » Mobile Apps
Mobile App Developers
As smart phone technology has expanded, so have the range of apps available. We are proud to have been part of this revolution; building apps for several major brands to support their customers and social apps for you to share with your friends. We are now one of the foremost mobile app developers in Bristol and the surrounding area and our new London office is providing the same service to customers based in London and the South East.
Our apps have gained rave reviews, not just for our customers, but from their customers too! Click here to read about the Chef for all Seasons success story
Speak to us today about developing an app for your business from just £50.00 per month (Click on the link)
We develop custom applications to suit your precise business needs. Our solutions are cost effective and optimized to your requirements. We will allocate a dedicated project manager to take care of the project right from conception to completion and post development support.
Some apps we have recently developed
How will an app benefit your business?
- Customer Engagement. Every business needs to engage with their customers to ensure they stay loyal. Below are some methods of using an app to keep customers engaged with your business:
- Push Messaging. This really is one of the most powerful benefits of having an app. Push messaging allows you to send targeted messages direct to your customer base at the push of a button. The messages are received on the user's phone and sit on the home screen until they have read it. No need to open up emails and find your message in amongst hundreds of others - it's there straight away. Results have shown that buyers interaction from push messages is far above that of emails.
- Online booking. If you run a business servicing customers and need to book them in for appointments the online booking function can either integrate with your current system or replace your paper diary.
- Geo Fencing. If you want to remind your customers to come to your business, you can target areas on a map and whenever any of your users enter that area an automatic message is sent to them. The message can be whatever you wish. For example, if you run a coffee shop, the app could send a message whenever any users get within a certain distance from the shop inviting them in for a coffee or promoting a special on the menu.
- Loyalty Vouchers. Much like the loyalty cards you get in coffee shops, where if you buy x number of coffees you get the next one free, this function is available via the app and can be used in a variety of ways to keep customers coming back to you.
- We could go on listing features but rather than list them all here, why not give us a call and we can tell you about the features that best suit your business and how they can benefit you?
We take care of all of the technical requirements of having an app for your business. We register it with App Stores so that your customers can find and download it, we take care of hosting on a secure, reliable server and handle any programming queries from App stores.
Take a look at some of these statistics regarding mobile and apps:
- 70% of businesses are now either using apps or considering using them.
- 90% of FTSE 100 companies are using or considering using the iPad
- The average consumer spends more than 2 hours per day using mobile apps
- Over 60% of the UK population own a smartphone and 25% own a tablet
- 40% of UK consumers use a mobile or tablet whilst watching TV!
The use of mobiles is now the biggest way of connecting to the Internet and to view your business. With costs starting from as little as £50.00 per month, we can help you develop your mobile business without breaking the bank. Speak to us today!

All the saints love God and love their neighbor, but other than that they have little in common. We have saints who lived lives of quiet meditation, and there are saints who were ever in the midst of human tumult. Some saints have easy paths to God; others have gained their crowns at the last moment, an act of supreme love redeeming a wasted life. Many saints have been heroic, a few have been timid. We number among the saints some of the greatest intellects of mankind, while we also venerate saints who never learned to read. We have saints with sunny dispositions, and some who were usually grouchy. Saints who attained great renown in their lives and saints who were obscure in life and remain obscure after death, except to God. Among such a panoply of humanity we can draw endless inspiration for our own attempts to serve God and our neighbors. For me, one saint has always stood out as a man with a deep meaning for this period of history we inhabit: Saint Maximilian Kolbe. Why?

Pine beetle epidemic slows while spruce infestation spikes, new survey says
The U.S. Forest Service and Colorado State Forest Service today released the results of the annual aerial forest health survey in Colorado, which indicates that the spread of the mountain pine beetle epidemic has slowed dramatically, while the spruce beetle outbreak is expanding.
The mountain pine beetle epidemic expanded by 31,000 acres, down from last year's reported increase of 140,000 acres. This brings the total infestation to nearly 3.4 million acres in Colorado since the first signs of the outbreak in 1996. Most mature lodgepole pine trees have now been depleted within the initial mountain pine beetle epidemic area. However, the infestation remains active from Estes Park to Leadville.
In contrast, the spruce beetle outbreak is expanding, with 183,000 new acres detected in 2012, bringing the total acreage affected since 1996 to nearly 1 million acres. The areas experiencing the most significant activity are on the San Juan and Rio Grande National Forests in southern Colorado. Spruce beetles typically attack spruce trees downed by high winds. Once the populations of spruce beetles build up in the fallen trees, the stressed trees surrounding them offer little resistance to attack. Similar to mountain pine beetle, the increase in spruce beetle activity is due to factors that increase tree stress, including densely stocked stands, ongoing drought conditions and warmer winters.
"Now more than ever it is important that we work across the entire landscape to ensure forests are more resilient for generations to come," Dan Jiron, regional forester for the U.S. Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Region, said in a written statement. "A vibrant forest products industry, aggressive community actions, strong collaborative efforts and targeted high-priority projects will allow us to make progress to promote forests more suitable for an uncertain future climate."
In late 2012, two 10-year stewardship contracts were awarded by the U.S. Forest Service to improve forest resiliency on 20,000 acres affected by the mountain pine beetle on the Medicine Bow-Routt and White River National Forests. These contracts are in addition to the Front Range and Pagosa Springs Long-Term Stewardship Contracts awarded previously. The contracts reduce forest health treatment costs and foster new uses of beetle-killed forest products to benefit forest resiliency and jobs.
Through the passage of legislation in recent years, the Colorado General Assembly has supported forest management actions that demonstrate community-based approaches to forest restoration and watershed health. The Colorado Forest Restoration Pilot Grant Program is a cost-share program that provides funding for up to 60 percent of the total cost for projects. To date, more than $4.7 million in state funds and another $1 million in leveraged federal funds have been awarded to 86 projects. Those funds additionally leveraged more than $8 million in matching funds to restore more than 12,000 acres of forest. In addition, the 17 projects currently in progress will result in treatments on another 1,200 acres.

Is it possible to put the page title between the bottom of the header and the start of the columns?
This page has exactly the look I want http://www.goldtouch.ca/site/about/ but this page http://www.goldtouch.ca/site/services/detailing/ has (and needs) the left column so it's shifting the center column, including the title to the right. Is there a way to have the look of the About page with both left and center columns like the Detailing and other services page?

İşte Anabolik Döngüsü alın
Amacınız aşağıda özelleştirilmiş döngüsü ve yığın öneriler için seçin.
It isn't hard to find bodybuilder sites recommending cycles that stack Winstrol and HGH.
Human Growth Hormone is a potent anabolic compound.
It is produced in regulated amounts in the human body to stimulate cell reproduction, Hücre yenilenmesini, ve büyüme.
Winstrol is a popular anabolic steroid mostly used for the shedding of body fat when preparing for competitive activities.
Özellikle, HGH designed for human use was first released in 1985 with the sole purpose of treating diseases that involve muscle wasting as well as Turner's syndrome, kidney syndrome, and HGH deficiency.
Some of its uses, Ancak, are not recommended by medical communities. These revolve around muscle building and athletic performance improvement.
Gel gelelim, Stanozolol is considered a "nazik" anabolic steroid that can be used by both men and women.
It can be administered orally since it is methylated in the seventeenth carbon group.
It is a steroid that is administered for the purpose of increasing strength and speed, hence the performance-enhancing reputation.
Just because it is common to stack HGH and Winstrol, that doesn't mean a bodybuilder should.
There are other ways to increase lean muscle mass and increase recovery times at the gym.
With more light being shed on the diasterous side effects that are possible with these PEDs and others, it is no wonder that people are turning to natural steroid alternative supplements in droves. Satın WINSOL çevrimiçi burada.

Can HGH be stacked successfully with Stanozolol?
Bazı bodybuilders sanmıyorum.
An advanced bodybuilder cycling these drugs together would follow a 16 week schedule like this:
|200 mg Every Other Day
|100 mg Every Other Day
|50 mg Every Day
|100 mg Every Other Day
|0.5 mg Every Other Day
|4iu Every Day
Because it is quite liver toxic, Winstrol is not recommended to be taken for more than 8 weeks at a time by experienced steroid users.
Özellikle, both the steroids are well known fat burners, but they have differing degrees.
They are mostly used together by athletes with the hope of achieving good performance.
The two steroids are thought to work towards improving the user's strength, with the extra advantage of muscle building characteristic of the growth hormone.
"Arkayı" mostly works on shedding body fat to lend the user shredded look. It is also touted to be a mild muscle builder, with some users reporting an increase of 10lb hard muscle.
With Stanzolol, the user is said to gain strength without necessarily adding weight, whereas HGH is thought to add both mass and strength.
The former supplement supposedly works faster than the growth hormone too, and when used together they are reported to complement each other as the growth hormone builds muscle and mass and Stanozolol burns the fats.
According to anecdotes of previous users, this combination can leave the user looking both well-built and toned.
These benefits come at the cost of potentially harmful side effects.
They are not considered to be safe for use in the context of bodybuilding, and that is the reason lawmakers and health professionals have stiff sanctions against non-prescription use.
The human growth supplements are frequentlybe taken on an empty stomach with a glass of water while Winstrol is routinelytaken alongside meals.
The growth hormone's directions for use in bodybuilding circles is anything between 2 Hedef 4 UI a day which translates to roughly 1.2 Günde miligram.
Users often take this hormone in low doses and gradually increase till they had enough of the side effects.
For Stanozolol the dosage often falls around 50mg a day for not more than 8 hafta.
Some users take the supplement in non-recommended amounts such as 100mg which could increase the already present danger ofadverse side effects.
Bu nedenle, this drug is not recommended considering that even small doses could have severe side effects.
Belli ki, Stanozolol and the growth hormone have several awful and dreadfully uncomfortable side effects.
Some of these are reported to bereduced considerably through stacking.
HGH, Örneğin, is known to cause water retention by increasing the blood ADH levels. Gel gelelim, Stanozolol doesn't aromatize at all.
Bu ek olarak, using Human Growth Hormone together with Stanozolol is believed to cause the stimulation of different receptors in different parts of the body.
The overall effect experienced is labeledsynergistic by bodybuilding veterans.
It is also often suggested that the growth hormone also reduces acne and other skin abnormalities. Acne is a side effect of Stanozolol.
Ne olursa olsun, taking these drugs, whether together or independently, opens the user to the risk of unimaginable health complications.
These cannot be taken lightly. They can even be life-threatening in several circumstances.
HGH has several side effects. They may include:
Cancer is also accelerated considerably by the hormone.
While not a side effect, a generally understood disadvantage of the growth hormone's synthetic commercial version is that it is very expensive.
The monthly dosages do run into the thousands of dollars regularly.
The side effects of Winstrol are:
This drug may risk the user getting liver-related ailments such as liver cirrhosis.
This is because it stresses the liver both in injectable and oral form.
Bodybuilders are vehement that it should only be used by a person who is sure of having a perfectly healthy liver.
To avoid liver damage, users are advised by steroid experts to keep off any methylated steroid for about six to eight weeks after their last cycle with Stanozolol.
Stanozolol is a drug that is commonly available on the black market. Ayrıca, it is a steroid that is very frequently counterfeited.
Ancak, Winsol is a supplement that is often used as a substitute to Winstrol. It is a legal alternative to the illegal and unsafe Winstrol.
This form is produced by CrazyBulk, and while it doesn't promise results the same degree, it does guarantee to support the development of lean muscle tissue and the polished, cut physique that bodybuilders pursue at the gym
They also manufacture and HGH releaser known as HGH-X2 which stimulates the pituitary to secrete more growth hormone into the bloodstream.
This release is beneficial as it encourages growth and burns fat even for older people. Normally the human growth hormone reduces in the body as the body ages.
Özellikle, Winsol and HGH-X2 do not carry the same risk for side effects.They are a better stack since they does not cause most of the harsher adverse outcomes experienced after taking HGH and Stanozolol.Anavar WinstrolClenbuterol Winstrol yığınıClen Stano yığınıDeca WinstrolHalotestin WinstrolPrimobolan WinstrolProviron Winstrol yığınıTestosteron Winstrol yığınıTrenbolone WinstrolTurinabol WinstrolWinstrol AnadrolWinstrol denge yığınıWinstrol HGH yığını

Ever since a devastating earthquake rocked Haiti a year ago, James Ansara of Essex, Mass., has been demonstrating how he's not your typical multimillionaire philanthropist.
While his peers were writing checks, Mr. Ansara was doing that – and much more. Days after the quake hit, he was up to his elbows in rubble, repairing generators with his own hands and restoring power to a desperate situation in Port-au- Prince, Haiti's capital.
He keeps going back, week after week, in a bid to bring world-class health care to the hemisphere's poorest country.
"I think it's really one in a million [donors] who are [as] personally invested" as Ansara is, says Bill Shore, executive director of Share our Strength, a Boston-based antipoverty organization with projects in Haiti. "Generally, we might be successful in getting [donors] to make a trip or two to a place like Haiti ... or New Orleans, after Katrina. But for someone to go down there on a weekly basis since January [2010, as Ansara has] is remarkable."
Ansara, a construction magnate who retired early, brings a rare combination of personal wealth, practical skills, deep experience and – perhaps rarest of all – a willingness to share in Haiti's suffering.
He needs all those qualities in his current volunteer role with Partners in Health (PIH), a nonprofit that runs 60 hospitals in 12 countries. Ansara is director of construction for PIH's Mirebalais Hospital, Haiti's largest postquake building project.
With 320 beds, Mirebalais Hospital will be Haiti's biggest, at least until the city hospital in Port-au-Prince is rebuilt, which may take years. At Mirebalais, Haitians will have access to basic health services as well as specialty surgeries never before available to them.
To open Mirebalais by November 2011, Ansara puts in 90-hour workweeks, sometimes via laptop and phone from Essex, north of Boston, where he raises four adopted teenagers with his wife, Karen.
Otherwise he's in Haiti, where he lives with an erratic water pump, routine power outages, and a nearby river that makes travel impossible after heavy rains.
Ansara doesn't have to live that way. He's plenty wealthy, even after giving away more than $18 million since he began the process of selling his business, Shawmut Construction, to his employees in 1997.
Still, he puts on no airs. He drives a 2010 Ford Focus. He arrives for a cafe interview in jeans and an untucked plaid shirt.
He puts up with Haiti's frustrations, he says, because "it's absolutely a calling for me. I believe in the social justice tenets of what Jesus taught. I come at this very much from a social justice, equity point of view. I have such an incredibly privileged life that I can never just enjoy that. I have to help – try to help – people who don't have."
Mirebalais is the largest hospital construction project in PIH's 23-year history. The facility will have features that owe their inclusion to Ansara's involvement, says Ted Constan, PIH's chief program officer. They include an easy-to-navigate environment for disabled patients and bedside oxygen stations – a first for Haiti.
"Mirebalais will have elements of infection control that we've never done before, earthquake standards that have not been seen in Haiti, and green technologies," Mr. Constan says. "All of these are things that Jim, with his career in construction management, is making possible."
Completion of the hospital will show the world that Haiti is not hopelessly dysfunctional but can accomplish great things, Mr. Shore says. "It's just one hospital, but it's going to be a very powerful symbol. I think it's going to become a huge point of pride in the Haitian nation, one that could affect a lot of other things."
Ansara grew up in a blue-collar Boston family. His father wrote fiction and drove a taxi. His mother taught school and advocated for the poor, especially children.
He attended elite schools on scholarships, but never graduated from college. His restless mind led him to master the building trades – plumbing, carpentry, and electrical work – where complex problems were always his favorites.
He founded Shawmut, and it prospered by solving tough problems in old buildings, especially on college campuses. After retiring in his early 40s, he built two lobster boats because he liked the challenge – and besides, the first one wasn't perfect.
The Ansaras have been active in philanthropic causes, largely through foundations that fund projects seeking long-term solutions to poverty.
But he needed to get his hands dirty.
"I wanted to do more than just serve on boards," Ansara says. "[Mirebalais] has given me a much bigger purpose. If we can really pull this off, it will have a tremendous impact on health care in Haiti…. This will attract people from all over Haiti because it's free care, it's a good hospital."
Ansara isn't shy about asking others to help, Shore says. He's prevailed on bootmaker Timberland to donate 300 pairs of boots for hospital construction workers.
Because of his track record, Ansara's appeals come with "a moral authority," Shore says. "When he tells people he needs something, you feel you've almost got to deliver it for him."

Tourist arrival numbers could be subsiding
Last updated 15:46, April 26 2017
Infometrics says the underlying growth in tourist numbers might be beginning to subside.
Tourist numbers have dropped for the first time in almost three years in what could be the first signs of the boom beginning to subside.
The number of tourist arrivals in March fell 0.2 per cent from last year, led mostly by a large drop in the number of visitors from Australia.
Arrivals from the United Kingdom also fell 6.5 per cent, but there were strong increases in tourists coming from the United States and Germany.
Economic research firm Infometrics said the weakness, particularly in arrivals from Australia, was a surprise.
READ MORE:* It's not easy being beautiful: New Zealand tourism boom comes at a cost, Kiwis say* The road well-travelled: The rise and rise of New Zealand tourism* Tourism New Zealand: We're open for business all year round
"We expected stronger economic conditions across the Tasman to drive up the number of tourists this year, and it will take a very strong April result to reassure us of short-term prospects for the Australian market."
Infometrics said the softening appeared to be at least in part due to the timing of Easter this year, being in April rather than March.
"Nevertheless, slower growth over the March quarter suggests that underlying growth in tourist numbers might be beginning to subside."
New Zealanders travelling overseas, however, grew strongly in the March quarter.
But the New Zealand dollar was expected to soften against both the Australian and US currencies in the second half of this year, which would hurt travel budgets overseas.
"This continued strength in departures comes on the back of strong economic growth and improving labour market conditions and reflects the optimistic outlook for the coming year.
"The economy will continue to perform relatively well, leading us to expect further growth in the number of New Zealand holidaymakers this year."

Search Seed Packets:
Currently, wildflower seed production in Florida falls far short of demand. Seeds for native restoration and large scale Florida highway beautification projects are often purchased from major seed producing states such as Texas.
A group of Florida wildflower producers, working in conjunction with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and the Florida Wildflower Foundation is developing strategies to increase Florida's native plant acreage and seed production to better meet the demand for native species.
This site provides a gateway to the Cooperative's products. Seed is available by the packet for small plantings as well as in bulk for major endeavors. Best yet, purchasing seed from the Cooperative supports the efforts of our state's growers, which in turn helps us improve the supply and quality of native seed. We all win!
The $15 donation you make when purchasing the State Wildflower license plate sponsors native wildflower research, planting and education throughout Florida. Click here to purchase the State Wildflower license tag and find out more about it.

If you make New Year's resolutions, you've likely seen many good intentions fall by the wayside. Setting and achieving goals is a skill that transcends content, and it's fundamental to moving forward. It also can be a challenging skill to acquire, but the steps outlined below can help.
What do you want to accomplish? Why? What could hold you back? These are some of the key inner dynamics to clarify on your path to achieving your goals.
Let's say that you have a sedentary job and are focused on building more activity into your life. If you define that as your goal, your chances for success are minimal because it's so vague. Instead, get more specific; for example, going for walks after work, joining a gym or returning to an activity that you used to do. Also consider nonrecreational ways to be active, such as using stairs instead of an elevator.
It's essential to know why you have a goal. For example, why do you want to be more active? Go deeply here. Keep asking yourself "why." If being more active will make you feel better, why is that important? If feeling better will give you more energy, why is that important? Eventually you'll get to the core of your motivation, such as being able to engage more fully with people you care about. Understanding your deeper motivations will give you an invaluable tool when the going is hard.
Finally, think about factors that could hold you back. Time is an obvious potential derailer. Others may include lack of energy to get started, fear of being unsuccessful, or even fear of being successful. Look at your past experience and notice where barriers have gotten in your way. How could you have overcome them? Also notice successful steps you've taken to overcome other barriers.
Avoid one of the biggest derailers of all: trying to do too much. Select one very specific goal, and create a sustainable habit.
For example, you might decide to take short walks during the workday. Then make a specific plan. Decide on optimal times, say, midmorning and midafternoon. Define your walking options. If it's nice weather, you may want to go outside, and on other days, identify indoor options. Try putting reminders on your calendar, and find a walking buddy to make it harder to skip. After a month or so of success, pick your next goal.
Acknowledge your accomplishment every time you do it — pursuing a goal is a big deal, and you deserve to give yourself kudos. If you're not following through, address whatever is holding you back and get back on track.
Latest Living
Get help from others by sharing your goals and asking for support. Most people will be helpful, but you may run into a few who may try to undermine you. Strange but true — every dieter can tell you about someone who keeps pushing the cookies. Don't let these folks get in your way.
Solid goal-setting tactics will help you achieve any resolution and resolve any issues you face.

Whenever you see a person in a uniform, you get a quick sense of who they are and what they do. The members of a sports team wear their uniforms to say "I belong to this group." Police officers and firefighters wear their uniforms to say "I provide a service to my community." Even superheroes wear uniforms to say "I'm one of the good guys, and I stand for what's right."
Just like all of these people, Scouts also wear a uniform, and for the very same reasons. As a Cub Scout, you belong to a special group of people, you give service to your community, and you have made a promise to "Do your Best" to be one of the "good guys." Wearing your uniform is a way of saying these things to everyone who sees you.
The parts that make up your Cub Scout uniform are these:
Because Webelos Scouts are close to becoming Boy Scouts, some Webelos dens choose to wear the tan and olive uniform similar to the one that Boy Scouts wear (tan shirt, olive shorts/slacks, olive socks).
Besides showing that you are a member of the Cub Scouts, your uniform gives you a place to display your personal achievements and those of your den and pack. Badges of rank, award emblems, special recognitions, and the medals you win at Cub Scout activities are all sewn or pinned onto your uniform. Refer to http:\\BSAuniforms.org for more information.
Unless your den leader says otherwise, you should wear your Cub Scout uniform to all Scouting activities—not only den and pack meetings, but every activity in which you take part with other Cub Scouts.

I would like to introduce myself as your navigational pilot as we traverse the limitless, mysterious, confusing and most especially, humorous expanse of the political universe. Please be forewarned that most of the satire, humor and vitriolic content of this blog will be knowingly and purposely aimed and directed at the conservative right-wing members of the Grand Old Party and those members of the media that support them. In other words, if you do not like the thought of the likes of Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter being barbecued before your eyes, then now is the time to leave and never return. On the other hand, if that is the sort of stuff that grinds your beans, then put on your tinfoil helmet, strap yourself in and enjoy the flight.
Some of you might recognize my song parodies from the comment sections of other like-minded blogs and even on the comment pages of many national newspaper websites. It was the feedback from those contributions (primarily from themudflats.net) which prompted me to launch this blog. Whenever possible, I will attempt to post a link (audio or video) that will help readers to either reacquaint themselves or familiarize themselves with the actual tune of each song parody. I hope that my contributions will amuse you and I encourage all readers to comment in the same vein (or in a serious manner if that tickles your fancy). Mind you, I'm new at this, so now is the time to abuse the comment board with all kinds of off-topic contributions until I can figure out some reasonable comment posting rules. Please limit the profanity, however, as I would like the blog to appeal to a wide audience. For the time being, comments will be deleted if they do not pass the Lynnrockets Stink Test (to be defined at a later time).
Artwork and photographs displayed on this site are the property of the artists who created them. All material is offered for a limited time, but works can be removed sooner by Artist request.

Let's feel free to Blast-Off on the topic of our choice.
Why do they call it peanut butter if it doesn't contain any butter?
Another trick questions: =)
1. Why is a round pizza wrapped in a square box?
2. In a cinema, which armrest is yours?
Wonderful website! Just keep on updating it.
That is a good one, but I do have to ask, "Why do we drive on the parkway and park in the driveway?"
And, pay tolls on the Freeway?
Request for songs by The Police and The Beat (English). Thanks!
FYI, check email. All of Monday OK.
I just found this one for your palin quotes post and I apologize if it's already there but I did read earlier today and didn't see it and haven't had time to go thru all again (whew, Palin breathless type rant there I so just had 🙂
At any rate, here it is:
"My concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska's investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars."
The Wasilla Wordsmith strikes again with that run on sentence/paragraph above.
Palin greatest hits youtube on TPM for additional evidence that she is too dense for ______. (fill in the blank)
Here's some more inspiration for you:
More inspiration:
Who could have predicted creative Hollywood types would have come up with THIS. She poked the wrong hornet's nest.
Also, too, would like to request Elvis' Are You Lonely Tonight in honor of the tabloid cover ex governor.
Thanks in advance.
Lonely = Lonesome
Also, Johnny Cash Ring of Fire in honor of Lake Lucille, too.
Roxie from the Chicago soundtrack for $P when she comes back from her plastic surgery. You'll crack up from the lyrics that are there, plus be able to add your Midas touch.
Here's more inspiration and you NEED to see the photo http://fromtheleft.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/tom-ridge-pushed-to-up-security-alert-on-eve-of-president-bushs-re-election/:
Tom Ridge: Pressured to Up Security Alert on Eve of President Bush's Re-election
Thursday, August 20, 2009
Tom Ridge, the first Director of the 9/11-inspired Department of Homeland Security, has written a stunning tell-all autobiography titled, The Test of Our Times: America Under Siege…and How We Can Be Safe Again, available September 1st.
In the book, Ridge says he was never invited to attend National Security Council meetings, was "blindsided" by the FBI in morning Oval Office meetings because the agency withheld critical information from him, his urgings to block Michael Brown from being named head of the emergency agency blamed for the Hurricane Katrina disaster went ignored, and most shocking of all, Ridge says he was pushed to raise the security alert on the eve of President Bush's re-election, something he saw as politically motivated and worth resigning over.
When I lived in NYC, I'd get missed-dialed calls to my house from his office when he was Gov of PA. Same with the Gov of CT.
My condolences to you and your state regarding Senator Kennedy. A sad day for all of us.
Sooo, SP is going to show off her asian "hexpertise" in Hong Kong?
Wonder who will copy the old crooners and sing to her:
"I'm Gonna Take You On A Slow Boat to China" ?
Will it be the indomitable Mr. Murdoch?
Do they still have pirates in the South China Sea?
One can only hope!
Oh, never mind… She'll fly in her own Hot Air Balloon…
Up, Up and Away! Wheee! Or Not? We shall see…
I feel like a copycatter, dammit!
Here Is thought I was being inventive when I wrote the
"slow boat" sentence, and then got back onto your daily note, and there you already were!
Oh, well, great minds think alike… or some such nonsense!
Request please:
Could you do a song from the third comment?
From your English friend, Nick H:
Well, talk about coincidence:
Here's some inspiration from an Immoral Minority commenter:
sjk from the belly of the plane said…
first episode of "Slope", …'If a bear shits in the woods does anybody hear it'…
sjk from the belly of the plane said…
2nd episode of "Slope"…'Silence of the Turkeys and other assorted mammals'
3rd Episode, "Unfiltered Progress, sponsors, and sore ankles".
4th episode, "Naughty Monkeys and lemonade".
5th episode,"I quit. Where's my money?"
@sjk, 6:04 – you need at least 13 episode ideas to pitch SLOPE. They prefer 22 at the networks–or they used to. Please keep going!!!! 🙂
I am pleased to discover that someone besides me feels compelled to write lyrics about Sarah Palin in HK.
You know I was working on her secret speech but ran out of time.
found it!
A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.
o by the way,,,,,,,, your buying this fri. night @ CL
There is a great picture in Vanity Fair (August?). It's in the article, "It came from Wasilla," with Sarah standing next to Cindy McCain. Anyway, Leslie Gore's "It's My Party" might make a great song to accompany that picture.
Ok, over at the Mudflats, you came up with a great title for a song, Renegade Lemonade.
So…where's the song that belongs with the title? Inquiring minds are awaiting your artistic efforts…
OMG, those songs you write are funny. Keep up the good work–you're on my favorites now!
Lynnrockets, could you check your spam filter? Thanks.
Glenn Beck is a loser:
Going Rouge-inspired musical project–Karl Rove is the target:
K.M too funny !!!!
Song parody requests in light of all of today's DELICIOUS news:
Band On the Run (Beatles)
Certain Kind of Fool (Eagles)
The End Of The Innocence (Eagles)
I could go on and on….who besides me needs a case of champagne?
OK, one more:
Heartache Tonight
All you have to do is look at a list of Eagles songs….This is gonna be a GREAT WEEKEND!

I love Sara Palin.
Vote The democrats OUT!
Oh Great! #50 Is a bible thumpin Moonbat.
I hope you all like the change. All Osama, sorry, I mean Obama is doing is opening the door for the anti-Christ. Wake up and put the Democratic party back to the way it was 50 years ago.. to a Conservative nature.
Lynnrockets, I was working for a living paying for your lib food stamps when you were sitting in front of the tube in your papmers watching cartoons.
You're killing me! This is hysterical. Need more time to catch up on reading.
I always like your blog and will continue to read it and point others to it. Especially enjoy your songs which are very clever.
However I was disappointed that you pretty much dissed Gryphen in front of his readers over at IM saying "please please tone down the self-congratulation a bit" and then saying AGAIN "There is no need for the constant self-congratulation".
The way you worded your "thank you" to Gryph for all he's done made me wonder if you were having a moment of jealousy.
Lynn, you are too good for that.
A fan of your blog among others.
Any relation to the Lynns of Long Beach?
Hey, Lynnrockets: You're a stupid @$$h0le. In your Jan 29 blog about Palin you mention that she "segwayed" into another subject. Newsflash, you stupid piece of $h!t: its "segue," not "segway." Take your head out from up your fat @$$.
I have an idea. How would you like to have a week long debate sometime. We decide on a topic. One of us posts a position on our blog. The other quotes the person on his blog and posts a response. This can continue for about a week and generate a lot of traffic. Email me about it at email@example.com
Just ran across your blog and I love it!
Check out mine at pagun-view.blogspot.com and see if you'd like to link up
You are a communist – deal with it. If you ever read Marx you'd know what an ass you are.
This blog is a joke. Socialist liberal pig… Check out theblaze if you want real news and information.
A few years ago, one of our local residents, Mac Vorce, who is
also a bicycle enthusiast petitioned for the development of bicycle paths
and trails. Unfortunately Nora Ephron recently
passed away, but she left us with some of our most endearing romantic comedies of all time
— from "When Harry Met Sally" to "Sleepless in Seattle" and "You've got Mail. Whether these are taken live – while you are doing a real gig – or whether you have them done on a false stage, will depend on you.

Remembering Tock
I was recently given these photos of our beloved Tock, the white Samoyed (on left in above photo) who was our dog a long time ago. Tock was a very special dog and she had a good dog friend named Fluffy, (also in these photos) who belonged to our neighbor when we lived in the beautiful hills of western Massachusetts.
These photos bring back many happy memories of our days with Tock who is incidentally named after the dog in The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster (Norton is a friend of ours).
This is a tissue paper collage of Tock that I made for Bobbie. We both loved Tock and remember her with great fondness.

I love this. I love the picture and I love the story. Animals are such an important part of my life-- they really become a part of the family.ReplyDelete
I love my pets like family, so glad you were able to be reminded of your dog Tock. How did you come up with his name?ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing this touching story. Your tissue paper remembrance of Tock is beautiful.ReplyDelete
Hello Eric,ReplyDelete
I like your books very much.....Even I went to America, I bought your books back to my country, Taiwan. ^^ I am an elementary teacher, and I will share stories you wrote with my students.....^^
We have Samoyeds, also. Fantastic dogs!ReplyDelete
A beautiful illustration and a wonderful way to remember a favourite and missed pet.ReplyDelete
I just found your blog and your picture of Tock brought tears to my eyes. I had a beautiful, lovable Samoyed for thirteen and a half years. She was so special to me.ReplyDelete
I love all your books! I read them every year to my little Kindergardeners.
Thanks for all your stories and books.
Tonia Vento
Tock was beautiful. Always nice to meet people who love samoyeds. I grew up with one (she was named Pasja), she was my best friend, I loved her sooooo much. I still miss her after so many years.ReplyDelete
Hi Bobbie and Eric. I wanted to let you know that my Mom and Dad have passed. They died 5 days apart. I hope they are with everyone they loved including our Fluf and Toc. Love, Karen SpearReplyDelete
