It's Hump Day, Wednesday!
Why is salmon so popular? On Monday night, over 75% of our customers ordered salmon. There is no real planning in the restaurant business. You can only make your best guesses.
Our Norwegian salmon is quite good, but three quarters of the orders for salmon? Tuesday evening brought a more normal mix of Chicken 'N Dumplings, Meatloaf and Crab Cakes plus of couse, more salmon. We offer our salmon with a Lemon-Herb Butter or Blackened.
"Self praise is no praise", grandma always said, but we had some really good stew meat yesterday and our beef stew today is out of this world, if I say so myself. You are always at the mercy of your ingredients however! Loaded with onions, carrots, peas and wild mushrooms, it was really good last night and will only be better today. Available as a lunch portion for $9.95 or a dinner portion for $12.95 (both including soup or salad).
Pulled pork? Oh yes! Several customers asked that we do it as a special every weekend. We have roasted another 20lbs worth that will be a lunch special on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I "taste tested' a couple nibbles yesterday evening, it is great!

I really enjoy reading your blog and all the thought you put into it. Mrs G & Me is an excellent adventure in eating. Probably the best in Downtown Hendersonville. From the warm reception from MR G to the Coffee, Cream Brulee and Bread Pudding. If you want a nice relaxing dining experience make it a point to visit Mrs G & Me on Main Street Hendersonville NC

She maintained her bronzed complexion with "a lot" of tanning lotion.
Denny perfected her hair and makeup skills by watching video tutorials on YouTube.
As a result, she assembled an array of beauty products. Top on her list was Big Sexy Hair, a brand of hair spray and moisturizing hair serums.
Denny said a hairstyling session at Soft Images Salon in Frederick, which was Denny's official hair sponsor, was most important.
"When I go on stage, I want my hair to look perfect," she said.
Pageant life
Denny found her fellow contestants quite collegial.
"We definitely bonded," she said. "These girls are amazing. Once you talk to them and hear their story, you really start to appreciate them as people. That is something."
In particular, Denny clicked with her roommate, Miss Montana, Sheridan Pope, who Denny called "hilarious" and the "class clown" of the group.
Still, "in a competition like this you have to consider everyone a competitor. It's mostly about yourself. The most important thing was making sure I did the best I knew how to do. I had to go out there and give it my all."
That also meant sacrificing a favorite food the night of the finals.
"Because I'm a singer, I couldn't eat pizza because of the dairy and my throat," she said. "But the minute it ended, the very first thing I did was to eat a piece of pizza; I just grabbed a piece and ate it in my gown."
The night of the finals, Denny said her confidence began to increase.
"As it went on, I thought I could make [the] top five. And I could win," she said. "Of course, that did not happen. But I did get the chance to sing on national television. It was a dream come true."
In the audience, her mother stood with other parents.
"It was a good night," said Sheryl. "We're very happy with where she placed."
Denny said she could see her supporters while competing, which was a comfort. "Knowing that so many people were watching me and supporting me felt good," she said.
Behind the scenes of the live broadcast, Denny recalled a frantic pace. "We had about two to three minutes between," she said. "We had to change and go."
After Denny sang, the magnitude of her accomplishment sank in.
"I ran back in the dressing room and yelled, 'I got to sing on national TV,' " she said.

Iran may be ravaged by war and terrorism at the moment, but that hasn't stopped Iranians from literally going mad over their automobiles. The small country in the Middle East is actually home to the 13th largest automotive industry in the world and as a result it only seems logical that car manufacturers would flood there in their droves in order to capture some of the market. Unfortunately however, that trend is reversing.
In recent months, Hyundai and Toyota both officially abandoned the country cancelling all sales, and the latest brand to exit Iran is none other than Porsche . The German brand was recently rated by consumers in the U.S. as the best German manufacturer for servicing, yet the ever-expanding brand has decided it's in its best interests to also exit the country.
Don't for one second however start to question why Porsche ever entered the Iranian market in the first place, as Iran contributes significantly to Porsche 's overall earnings. In fact, sales in its one dealership in Tehran reached $17 million in just the past few months, so this is definitely a big decision on Porsche's part.
Even though Iran is facing much unrest, we are a little bit confused as to why Porsche has decided to leave so dramatically losing potentially hundreds of millions of dollars from possible future sales so hopefully, Porsche will release a press release soon with further information.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) - Work is expected to resume at a construction site in downtown Saratoga Springs after a crane collapsed and landed on a sidewalk.
Officials with MLB Construction Services tell The Saratogian that no one was injured when the crane toppled over its cab late Tuesday afternoon. The crane was parked in the middle of a vacant lot adjacent to The Parting Glass, a popular Irish pub, and across the street from the newspaper.
The construction company says its preliminary investigation indicates that a lever malfunctioned and tipped the crane. No one was inside the crane when it collapsed.
The site will be the future home of Pavilion Grand, a mixed-use retail building and hotel.
Construction at the site is expected to resume Wednesday.

Frigid temps like we will be seeing Monday night and Tuesday can be dangerous and cause frostbite for anyone spending much time outside.
But it's all about layering your clothing.
"Make sure their hands are covered because the places that get affected the most are fingers and toes because they are the places that are going to get the coldest to begin with. So make sure they've got their gloves on. You may want to even double-up on gloves because if you layer, it's going to keep you a little warmer," Dr. Frary said.

Mike ArmstrongJust to set the record straight, the oldest magazine title still being published is Tatler in the UK (1709)
Sue DislerThanks Mike - I did miss that! Although the iteration we see now is from 1901 - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatler.
Cowan FamilyDon't forget CAR magazine, launched in 1957 and still the winner in it's category, with a range of other offerings too.
Sue DislerSo many mags out there and only allowed 600-900 words (which this article exceeded), but yes, Car Magazine (http://www.ramsaymedia.co.za/sections/brands/car/index.asp) another great example - thanks.

SCOUTING REPORT: ALEXIS SANCHEZ Udinese
After making a splash at the 2010 World Cup with the Chilean national team, the 22 year old has continued his stellar form with club Udinese and has proven to be a top transfer target for many of the World's top clubs this summer including Barcelona, Inter Milan, and newcomers Man City whose pockets are bulging with cash from their rich Arab based owners Abu Dhabi Group. Sanchez shows touch, skill, pace, poise on the ball, the vision to pass and the strike to score a goal at such a young age. In today's football, this is the most valuable kind of player around.
Sanchez is a player that shows up for both club and country, which proves he doesn't let different circumstances affect his style of play. The trend of South American 'bull' type players continues with Sanchez, alongside the likes of Tevez, Aguero, Messi, and even Liverpool's Luis Suarez who play blast, and bulldoze through opponents defense. Along with Tevez, Aguero, and Messi - Sanchez is the type of player that causes defenders to make mistakes, he's got fast footwork and an incredible mind, forcing those who play against him to have the utmost concentration or simply catch his dust.
Sanchez is an example of the power of YouTube in creating influence & buzz regarding real time transfers in today's world. His talent would be the same, but there is no doubt that Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez wouldn't be front page news without the army of fans searching him on YouTube, Tumblr, Twitter and other online platforms, scouting a potential recruit to their team; and the scores of amateur highlight film aficionados feeding the frenzy. I'm sure his Agent and PR team really don't mind.

This legislation was designed to assist with the recovery and revitalization of the housing market.
On July 30, 2008 the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) was signed into law and established the S.A.F.E. Act. HERA was designed to foster the recovery and revitalization of America's residential housing market which includes foreclosure prevention and consumer protection initiatives. To provide uniform licensing standards nationwide, the S.A.F.E. Act of 2008 mandates all states to establish minimum standards for the licensing and registration of state-licensed mortgage loan originators by August 1, 2009. This also mandates the implementation and maintenance of a mortgage licensing and registration system for the residential mortgage industry. If a state fails to comply with these two conditions, the Department of Housing and Urban Development will implement a state licensed mortgage loan originator.
In June of 2009, a joint proposal by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of Thrift Supervision, Farm Credit Administration, and National Credit Union Administration recommended rule adaptations of the S.A.F.E. Act. In this proposal, mortgage loan originators employed by agency-regulated institutions must register with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry and obtain a unique identifier. A unique identifier serves the purpose of allowing consumers to access the originators' employment and background information. The recent proposal reflects a continuation of the S.A.F.E. Act's aim to increase transparency and accountability of loan originators, protect consumers from fraud, and to ensure that the originator is acting in the best interests of the consumer.

Before the Committee on Financial Services, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, D.C.
The Community Reinvestment Act and the Recent Mortgage Crisis
At the Confronting Concentrated Poverty Policy Forum, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, D.C.
Administered through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, the Neighborhood Stabilization Program will provide grants to every state and certain communities to purchase foreclosed or abandoned homes and to rehabilitate, resell or redevelop these homes to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of values of neighboring homes.
The program will refinance mortgages for borrowers – owner-occupants only – who are having difficulty making their payments, but can afford a new loan insured by HUD's Federal Housing Administration. The program offers 30-year fixed rate mortgages and government insurance to lenders who voluntarily reduce mortgages for at-risk homeowners to at least 90 percent of the property's current value. The HOPE for Homeowners program ends on September 30, 2011.
This act modernizes the regulation of the housing government-sponsored enterprises – Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – and the Federal Home Loan Banks and expands the housing mission of these GSEs. The new, independent regulator for the enterprises and the FHLBs is the Federal Housing Finance Board, or FHFB, an independent federal body created as the successor regulatory agency resulting from the statutory merger of the Federal Housing Finance Board, or FHFB, and the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, known as OFHEO.
The Secure & Fair Enforcement Mortgage Licensing Act, or S.A.F.E. Act, was established through the Housing and Economic Recovery Act, or HERA, of 2008 which was signed into law on July 30, 2008. HERA was designed to foster the recovery and revitalization of America's residential housing market. The S.A.F.E Act aims to enhance consumer protection and reduce fraud by encouraging states to establish minimum standards for the licensing and registration of state-licensed mortgage loan originators and to establish and maintain a nationwide mortgage licensing system and registry for the residential mortgage industry. The registration process requires information and fingerprints for background checks. The key objectives of the S.A.F.E. Act are to provide increased accountability of loan originators, protect consumers from fraud and ensure the originator is acting in the best interest of the consumer.

Green Bean and Potato Salad with Pesto
Rinse the beans under cold water, and then trim the stem end by snapping it off with your fingers or cutting with a paring knife. You can trim the other end if you like, but it's not necessary.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
- 1/3 cup pecans, toasted
- 1 small garlic clove, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds small red new potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed and halved crosswise
Step 1
Make pesto: Bring 2 cups water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add basil, and submerge with a spoon; immediately drain in a colander. In a blender, combine basil, pecans, garlic, lemon juice, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 cup water; blend until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2
Make salad: In a large saucepan, cover potatoes with salted water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 15 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon (reserve pan of water). When cool enough to handle, cut potatoes into quarters; place in a large bowl.
Step 3
While potatoes are cooling, return reserved water to a boil. Add green beans; cook until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain well; transfer to bowl with potatoes.Add pesto, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper; serve immediately.

There's an excellent post by Jennifer Slegg (of JenSense fame) at Search Engine Land about Optimising your blog for search engines.
I've written about this subject before (and I was quite proud that it was linked to from a couple of high profile sites - yeay me!) and accessibility in general is close to my heart.
Conincidentally, Tony Hung, guest poster at Problogger has a brilliant post on marketing your blog (yet another subject I've written about which was nicely linked to!)
Both of these articles are looking at getting your blog into the search engines and then getting people onto your blog, however I think they miss the point that it's all too easy to get people to visit you - it's getting them to stick around and re-visit the site that's the problem!
One of the points that both Jen and Tony raise together is the use of RSS:
Jen says:
Tony Says:
Now, this is a really interesting point.
If you publish full text feeds no-one has to come to your website, they can see the content directly in their email package/feed reader/web browser and never have to visit you again.
If you publish partial feeds, people are almost "forced" to visit your website.
So, what's the best option?
I have to say I prefer full feeds. I hate having to click a link to read the rest of the article and then find out it's only a couple of sentences more that I had already seen. Actually, truth be told I've started culling such feeds from my list.
Darren Rowse (again at Problogger) experimented a little with full and partial feeds and found the following:
It stands to reason if people are viewing the full feed there'd be less site visits.... or does it?
You may have noticed that (because I'm vain ) I tend to cross link a lot to previous posts I have written. Actually, it's not a vanity point - shouting "Look at me! Look What I did!" - it gets people into my site that maybe normally wouldn't bother.Take the four links I placed above:
If it weren't for the cross linking, these three articles would be languishing in the dusty archives of the site, never to see the light of day again!
Not only will interested readers click on the links, visit the site and hopefully have a further wander round, so will the search engines which increases your visibility in search results to new readers and subscribers.
A couple of important points to remember when cross linking is only link to relevant articles. There's no point in my linking to the Sprout Game post in an article about RSS is there?... Er... Whoops
Also, make sure that you use the brilliant "title" tag attribute in your links, you can use these to add descriptive text to your links and convey extra meaning to your visitors. For example, the text I used for my "Make your blog search engine friendly" post "written about this subject before" doesn't tell anyone about the content of that link at all, for all you know it could have been the Sprout Game post (whoops, I did it again ), hover over the link though and you'll see the more descriptive text of "Make your blog search engine friendly" you, as the visitor, can then decided whether it's worth your while to click through (which of course it is!).
As far as I know, most blogging platforms allow you to specify title text when creating links, but if yours doesn't or you're "Old Skool" like me, you can edit the HTML code manually. Here and example:
I wonder what this link is about
Which displays as wonder what this link is about
Whatever you do, make it as simple as possible for the reader to decide whether to visit your blog or not. Personally I don't care what medium someone accesses my site through, as long as they enjoy the content that's good enough for me!

My View
Date: September 9, 2009
by: Pamela Letts
I am American with a family that goes back to the 1600s in Staten Island, N.Y. But I have lived in Canada for 30 years where I was both a patient and a doctor. Canada has a government-run, health-care system that provides health care for everyone and allows private insurance policies for bells and whistles.
From my point of view, as a doctor, this is a problem that is long overdue for fixing. I think it is unconscionable that there are people out there who have no insurance and have to be treated at a community hospital emergency room for free (at what cost to the taxpayer?).
I cannot believe when you have the best insurance available that you can still go bankrupt in the United States if you have a serious illness. I also cannot believe that Medicare will not cover many preventive medicine screening tests. I also cannot believe that insurance companies can cherry pick the people they insure, that they can refuse to pay for pre-existing illness and they can drop coverage on patients who are sick and really need their insurance.
This is how Medicare came about for the over-65-age group, a group that had a lot of chronic and acute illnesses, so these people's insurance coverage couldn't be dropped. Now we are dealing with similar problems for the under-65-year-old group.
If President Obama and Congress can come up with a way to insure everyone in one way or another and have a public insurance option that competes with private health-insurance company's premiums, then I am for it, both for patients and for me as a small business owner and employer. It will help to keep my medical insurance premiums down and make it more affordable for my employees to participate.
If the government can attract more generalists (family practice, pediatricians and general internists) into medical training, so people have a "medical home" where preventive medicine is practiced, I am all for it.
The government would do this by helping to keep the cost of training down and rewarding these doctors for practicing good, preventive medicine, keeping people healthy and out of the hospital. Where will it get the money to do this? With reduced tuition for these particular trainees, grants, bursaries and paying specialists less for the aggressive management of disease once it occurs. (Of course this will be fought by specialists tooth and nail.) The turnover of medical priorities might take time, and, during the overlap, it might be costly, but it would put our system back on track for health care rather than sickness care and, over time, it would save money.
Rewarding generalists financially for practicing preventive medicine might help me improve my income; it needs improvement especially because of the seasonal nature of this practice and the economy. The summer months have been grim. Young families are not traveling. Changed reimbursement for generalists might make it easier to find an excellent doctor who has similar skills, to take over this practice when I am ready to retire in six years. There are currently only 95,000 family doctors in the U.S. Only 2% of the graduating physicians are generalists; they are warned to avoid practicing in California and Florida because there are so many patients covered by Medicare that it's impossible to earn a nice living here.
As always, the devil lies in the details. I am going to pray that the United States will do this and will do it right. It will be a competitive system with options, more people will have access to medical care and wellness will be emphasized. This would put the U.S. much higher in the WHO's ranking for medical care, rather than the pitiful standing of 37th in the world that it currently holds — with reason. It is an exciting opportunity for all of us, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
It is interesting to note, that there has been no mention of tort reform in any of these discussions. That is because most of Congress and our president are lawyers, not doctors.
Do not fall for the rhetoric and buzz words that push your emotional hot buttons such as "socialism" (is Medicare socialist?), "government control," etc. Remember that the people who have the most to lose are the medical-insurance people, and they will do everything in their power to block these changes. That includes heavy advertising and scare tactics. Talk to me. Ask questions. You are all accomplished and intelligent people. Think of yourselves and vote your conscience. Get in touch with your representatives and senators and express your opinions.

(01/22/14) - There was a scary situation for a 4-year-old boy after he was left alone on a bus for hours in the freezing cold, Wednesday.
ABC12 talked to the boy's mother at their Flint home.
Hillary told us the bus arrived around 7:20 Wednesday morning to take her son, Va'Ton, to Eagles Nest Child Care Center in Flint.
"It was -7 when I put him on the bus," she said.
Hillary says he fell asleep on the way there and when the bus pulled up to the child care center, all the kids got off. Va'Ton was still sleeping, but the bus monitor did not notice. It was her job to keep track of the students.
"He fell asleep and so he was missed as the other kids got off the bus," Hillary said.
Va'Ton said he woke up alone on the bus with no heat, no food and no bathroom.
Fortunately, his mother packed a blanket and pillow for him to use during nap time at school. He needed it on that chilly bus.
"I picked my cover up and sat on my pillow and I was cold again," Va'Ton said.
Cold and hungry, Va'Ton sat on the bus until 2 p.m., when the bus driver finally came back to take the kids home. That's when she saw Va'Ton.
"I said, 'Why did you leave me in this bus the whole time?'" Va'Ton said.
Wednesday night, we talked to the administrator for Eagles Nest Child Care Center.
Deloris Flynn confirmed the child was left on the bus. She told us she fired the bus monitor. It was the bus monitor's job to count the children.
"She really, really did not do her job today, she has expressed her apologies," Flynn said.

Rocky Seas for Team Obama
After weeks of smooth sailing and cooing press coverage, the Obama team has been buffeted by a round of troubles, goofs and harsh reaction, much of that coming from Obama's own party. Politico reviewed the wreckage:
- Obama ended his troubled search for CIA director by naming Leon Panetta. The immediate response: Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) fired off a statement of disapproval, giving a negative tilt to most coverage of the pick.
- Obama floated his plan to name TV star Dr. Sanjay Gupta as surgeon general. House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers didn't even wait for the official announcement before leading a public campaign to kill the nomination. Gupta "lacks the relevant experience," Conyers wrote to colleagues.
- As Obama makes plans to roll out a sweeping economic plan, Majority Leader Harry Reid gave interviews with Politico and The Hill newspaper and made clear he won't take marching orders from Obama. "I don't work for" Obama, he told us.
- Even before Obama's plan was formally unveiled, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made plain her displeasure with parts of Obama's emerging fiscal plan, which she believes does not move fast enough to raise taxes. "I couldn't be more clear," she said Thursday at her weekly news conference. "Put me down as one in favor of repeal [of the Bush tax cuts] as soon as possible."
- Finally, once the package was unveiled, Obama's adviser got a frosty response to some provisions from Senate Democrats, who were kind enough to go public with their concerns. "I just don't think it works. I don't think that's going to give much lift to the economy, as well intended as it is," Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, a North Dakota Democrat, told Politico's David Rogers.
And that list didn't include the hasty retreat on Roland Burris or the embarrassing Bill Richardson withdrawal. Beltway media dean David Broder declares that the president-elect has taken a "drubbing" from these incidents. Broder finds that "after a near-perfect month of transition operations, Obama has stumbled twice in two weeks, first being caught unaware by the investigation of Bill Richardson, his choice for commerce secretary, and then being outmaneuvered by Burris and his tawdry sponsor, Gov. Rod Blagojevich."
It seems that the transition from campaigning to governing may not be as easy as Obama and his media fan club imagined. And things will only get tougher. There are two main challenges on the immediate horizon — either one of which can bring what is left of the honeymoon to an abrupt end.
Hold on
Next week, the Senate will hold the confirmation hearing of attorney general nominee Eric Holder. This is shaping up to be one contentious outing as Sen. Arlen Specter and other Republicans prepare to delve into Holder's involvement with the Marc Rich and Puerto Rican terrorist pardons and the Elian Gonzales affair. It's not his legal views which are most at issue, but his character. And if Democrats and Republicans alike get the sense that Holder has played fast and loose with Justice Department guidelines, ethical standard and even with their colleagues (in his testimony during the 2001 Congressional probe of the Rich pardon, for example) Holder may have a sticky time getting out of the Senate Judiciary Committee (which may have a 9-9 split between the parties).

124cc, 15bhp, mph, Insurance group
You get all the style and cool of an original Vespa, wrapped up in a package with modern reliability and running gear. If you're commute is primarily on busy city roads the engine and handling are spot on. But the GTS struggles out on the open road.
278cc, 22bhp, 80mph, Insurance group
The 278cc engine gives the Beverly plenty of poke around town and out on the road and the handling inspires confidence. It looks slightly girly in pictures, but in the flesh it's not so bad, especially from the saddle, but it's definitely aimed at stylish city folk. Quite what possesed anybody to name it Beverly is anyone's guess, but Piaggio ...
The Yourban 125 is certainly not cheap, but you can't put a price on confidenc, which is exactly what the extra front wheel gives. The 300cc version is less than £1000 more expensive, has more power and can be ridden on a car licence.
278cc, 22.8bhp, 70mph, Insurance group
The Yourban is not cheap, but it is aimed at those with either no desire or experience of two wheels as it can be ridden on a car licence, so the sure-footed, reassuring and unintimidating Yourban may well be worth the premium over conventional scooters.
278cc, 22bhp, 85mph, Insurance group
The versatile Piaggio X7 300 Evo is a bit of a sneaky bargain – it's powered by the same brilliant 278cc motor as the Vespa GTS 300 (since the Piaggio Group owns Vespa) but it's £300 cheaper. Not everyone will be willing to sacrifice the Vespa style and logo, but if you're on a budget it's a cheaper way to ...
278cc, 22bhp, 85mph, Insurance group 7
Via Montenapoleone is no longer just a trendy shopping district in Milan (we all knew that, right?) – It's also a limited-edition trendy 278cc scooter from Vespa that offers performance, practicality and style. It's a beautiful machine that will undoubtedly prove popular with fashion-conscious commuters, especially since it has the go to match its show.
124cc, 14.7bhp, 55mph, Insurance group
Hybrid technology has finally reached motorcycles – the MP3 Hybrid has an electric motor that can assist the petrol engine or run as a standalone engine. But sadly it's not quite ready to provide a viable alternative yet – price is expected to be high and the electric assistance isn't good enough. Doubt has been cast over the green credentials ...
49cc, 4bhp, 35mph, Insurance group 2
The Piaggio Typhoon 50 has been around 16 years – as long as the teens allowed to ride it! Originally a cutting edge sports scooter, the lightweight Typhoon is still a lot of fun but is now at the bottom end of the sports 50 price scale, making it good value for money.
49cc, 3.3bhp, 30mph, Insurance group 2
The easiest way in to Vespa ownership is a slow-going affair, but it looks great and is a reasonably practical machine.
244cc, 22bhp, 80mph, Insurance group 7
The Piaggio X7 250 ie is halfway between a full-on maxi scooter and a lightweight city scooter, so in theory should offer comfort and a bit of class with some traffic busting ability. It manages it too – it feels substantial and quality but slices traffic like a 50cc scooter.

I stand with the rest of the ambassadors of surf to do everything to help this channel succeed!"
Golf has a channel. Tennis has a channel. Football, baseball, basketball, skiing, soccer and motor sports all have successful channels. Yet, the largest annual sporting event in the world is the US Open of Surfing, with over 500,000 fans watching from the sand, and more than 3.5 million webcast viewers in 2011. Its time to finally grant surfing the platform that it deserves.
The Surf Channel founder, Steve Bellamy, was the person who started The Tennis Channel and The Ski Channel in the shed of his backyard. The Tennis Channel now holds all the broadcast rights to the Grand Slams, Davis Cup and the most influential events in tennis. Many people say that the television network has done more for tennis than anything since Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs. To complete a trifecta with surf, his third network will be 24-hours a day, 365-days a year straight to the living room of cable and satellite subscribers, featuring nothing but surf! How long has the industry been waiting to hear those words?
The Surf Channel will be free for consumers who have digital cable and will feature original series, surf films, competition coverage and travel programming. The new network announced its existence to the world here at the US Open with a large press conference and luncheon in the media compound Friday, August 3rd, 2012. Since the announcement, media outlets worldwide are buzzing about the news. Beautiful girls in their yellow Surf Channel tank tops cover the sand in Huntington this week, and you can hardly walk a few steps without seeing the stylish wave logo. Surf Channel cameras and crew are new on the scene at the Open, and have been editing new videos around the clock to fill the new YouTube platform and prepare for the television network launch.
Is the surf world big enough to sustain its own network? "The amount of people who aspire to the lifestyle is staggering," Bellamy said. "Surf culture, clothing and content are hugely appealing, and it makes sense to build a platform like this. But our goal isn't about exploiting what is there, rather to provide for who is there to grow beyond. The surfers and the surfing community come first; this network is dedicated to them."
The Surf Channel and its sister network, The Ski Channel, will share all basic back office functions, but will be completely separate in branding and editorial. Additionally, the channel has signed a preferred partnership deal with YouTube for the surf category and will build a separate slate of content for that platform. The Surf Channel YouTube is the official partnered online platform for the sport of surfing.

-I want to get a flat tummy what should I do?
-I want to get a thigh gap.What should I do?
All 3
Level II - 27:55
Hey, what should I do if I'm craving carbs. Major bread, noodles all of that.. Mostly bread though. I've eaten my limit today but I'm like a machine, I need more. What should I do? We only have white bread, and I don't think this is a craving that fruits, veggies or water can crush. I get this all the time
I made some awesome pancakes the other day that weren't carbs. take a banana and mush it up really well, add one egg and mix well, then add a spoonful of either pb or nutella and make like regular pancakes. theyre thin but taste sooooo yummy! :) (easier to flip if theyre small). but also try eating more meat or protein thatll stay in your stomach longer so you wont be craving all the time. hope this helps :)
aeternuslibertas asked: what do you do/say/ in the situation when your friends want you to party with them and they don't take your commitment to stay healthy serious (ie do not drink)?
I don't drink so I got you on this, say either you have family alcoholic problems in your family and you can't (if they know you really well say oh my sister/mom/dad/brother/ did a family tree and found out we have it) or just say you don't wanna drink because you are being healthy, if they don't like that then are they really your friends? Try to say that since you don't you can be the DD or the sober wingman who picks up the girls for them. (then you swoop in and pick them up since you're sober). You save money on drinks and say to them that each shot they take is 100 calories and you don't wanna drink your calories :). Need more help just message me again.
Anonymous asked: What do you look for in a girl? I'm so shy and insecure around boys, and I just don't know how to act!! I need advice :) Hehe
What do I look for in a girl, heres a new one :) haha. I look for a girl with a good personality but not just someone who has similar interests, a girl who knows me and knows how to make me smile. I love when a girl let's her guard down and just dresses the in sweat pants and a hoodie and will watch a movie or college gameday or the notebook (yes I like the notebook) :). ( I promise I'm straight :) ) She has to have values and family should come pretty close to first in her life. I don't smoke or drink but if she knows how to party responsibly then I'm cool with it, I just wanna babysit her. Act yourself, if they don't like it then they aren't right. How old are you? Lets say you're 17? A senior in HS? or maybe middle school? Think about this, just try to get your confidence up, talk to random guys abot sports (we love this) or ask a question about a sport and make them explain it to you (we love talking to girls about sports). Or talk with your friends about a TV show or movie or music you like then turn to a guy and say have you seen/ heard of this show/singer? (even if they say no, just start talking about it, maybe they will end up watching it) If you get rejected a billion times so what? you will seperate from the middle school kids when you go to high school, and honestly how close will you stay in touch with the kids in high school? you may see them once every blue moon at the same university but if anything it will be a little hi, you go here? whats your major, oh ok bye. and then after college you may move states. Most people you say you will be best friends with I hate to break it to ya but you prob won't (maybe you both got into the same college and are rooming together and I'm wrong, if so then sorry) but just be yourself and try new things is what I'm saying. Try this. if a guy says something nice to you turn to him smile and say thanks that just made my day ( it always makes me smile when a girl says that to me). hopefully this isn't too much. Any other questions about anything I talked about here or guys I didnt't cover please ask :)

shut-up-and-squat-baby asked: Hi! So your blog is awesome! (: Just wondering about p90x insanity, asylum, and p90x2. I work at a fitness camp with over weight kids and we are trying to keep them active over the school year too, (right now they are the blogalites) but a bunch of my campers are starting to plateau and asking me about videos and what not. Can you help me out? Ranging them from harder harder hardest? Sorry for any trouble, I just have never purchased any of these in my life and need some help! xxx Hunter
Hey Hunter, of course :), thanks for the compliment on my blog. well honestly none are easy. (please if you can don't buy them they are not worth the money! Torrent them from a site :) ) Power 90 (P90) is a beginner 90 day program as a gateway to p90x (power 90 extreme) (P90X) People do P90 first or sometimes do it twice before P90X, P90X you can jump right into but you will have a tough time because its pushups and pullups which most overweight people can't do. If I had to range from easy——> hardest…
Turbo Fire, is more girl but guys can do it based and is lead by MSU grad Chalene Johnson is all kick boxing and punching moves along with some cardio based moves. Don't buy turbo jam, turbo fire is more up beat with new music and better music to follow and "fire up" with :)
insanity is honestly pure cardio based and lead by Shaun T who was an ex marine so you know hes going to push you and yes he does! He is ripped and does all the moves with you so you don't feel like the instructor isn't working, hes sweating the whole DVD with you. and very hard cardio wise it works mostly abs, chest, little of arms (tricep no bicep work at all) and mostly mostly legs.
Asylum is 30 days also lead by Shaun T, Insanity is 60 days. Asylum is sports based, so vertical and lateral moves are key but it doesn't miss anything, back is worked, legs, core, arms, I just wished yoga was in there somewhere but it hits the whole body unlike insanity.
Asylum uses weights for 1 day strength and the rest is all body weight with resistance bands and a speed ladder which you don't need, I have never worked my back so much and hard ever in the Back to Core workout, and the workouts I think might be harder then Insanity.
The difference is in Insanity you do circuits (which were a bitch) and in Asylum you do different moves every time and you rarely repeat moves (except in strength). I am currently doing P90X2 and boy is that sportsand core based
P90X2 is pure core and sports based, its brand new and for serious athletes and people who are in peak condition so I won't go too in depth into it unless you want me to which then just message me back.
P90, Turbo fire, P90X (its a workout for sure), insanity, Insanity asylum, P90X2.
PS IN NO WAY DO I WORK FOR OR AM ASSOCIATED WITH BEACHBODY Just do the dvds and know alot about them :)
livehappyagain asked: Hi :) so what do you think? Is it better to do just Insanity: Asylum or it is okay to do and Insanity Asylum and Insanity? thank you :)
Hi beautiful <3 :) Have you done Insanity? And have you done it well? How honestly fit are you? If you answered yes, yes, and athlete fit then do Asylum. (torrent please don't pay for it). What are you goals for doing this? Asylum is 30 days, Insanity is 60 days. Asylum is sports based, so vertical and lateral moves are key but it doesn't miss anything, back is worked, legs, core, arms, I just wished yoga was in there somewhere but it hits the whole body unlike insanity which works mostly abs, chest, little of arms (tricep no bicep work at all) and mostly legs. Asylum uses weights for 1 day strength and the rest is all body weight with resistance bands and a speed ladder which you don't need, I have never worked my back so much and hard ever in the Back to Core workout, and the workouts I think might be harder then Insanity. The difference is in Insanity you do circuits (which were a bitch) and in Asylum you do different moves every time and you rarely repeat moves (except in strength). I am currently doing P90X2 and boy is that sports and core based, I'll give you more info on which one has pros and cons.
Anonymous asked: Breaking a fast with anything other than those things would be so harmful to your body. Break fast is literally breaking a fast (I don't know if I've said that already but it's true!) so shouldn't we break our fast with fruits and veggies? Sorry I just saw the tips and tricks page and it said eat protein for bfast and that just really bothers me…but I love your blog and you're doing amazing things ♥
you're right, fruit and veggies are great for breakfast with protein
Many teens skip breakfast as an attempt to control this excess weight gain yet previous studies have shown that individuals who consume breakfast daily have a lower body mass index (BMI) than those who skip the meal. Missing out on those vital calories in the morning may contribute to overeating later in the day, selecting unhealthy snacks due to uncontrolled hunger and therefore foster weight gain.
Previous studies have shown that children who eat breakfast are generally more physically active, maintain healthier body weight, eat more vitamins and minerals, and perform better in school.
Sounds like a few good reasons to get breakfast back on the menu in the morning. Here's how to maximize your morning meal with tips from the American Dietetic Association:
Start with Whole Grains
Whole grain carbohydrates provide energy, fiber and lots of vitamins and minerals. In order to add healthy carbs to your breakfast, try oatmeal (yet not the instant packs) and whole-grain products such as breads
cereals muffins, waffles or pancakes. (I don't recommend because they are mostly simple carbs and not healthy)
Add Protein
Proteins contain amino acids, which build, maintain and replace tissues of the body and after not eating for 6-9 hours of sleep your body needs the amino acids to replace tissue. Try lean proteins like an egg whites or non fat greek yogurt :)
you're right you should also remember Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are just loaded with anti-oxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Before heading out the door, grab a banana, pear, apple, grapefruit or whatever else might be in season. Don't forget about frozen fruits like blueberries and strawberries, which can be whipped up into a smoothie. Chopped vegetables like spinach, broccoli, carrots and tomatoes can be added to your morning omelet or served up raw in a juice.
lets-get-happy-and-healthy asked: Just read you're an exercise science major! I am thinking about switching my major to that too! I don't know why but that made me really happy to see :) After joining Tumblr is when I decided I liked nutrition a lot more than I liked botany. How is the major working for you and does Tumblr help you like it helped me? Thanks!…I just found your blog… :)
LOVE IT!!!!!! I'm so happy you found my blog. I love the major because I love sports and exercise and science. I wanna get a masters in exercise science and work for maybe gateraid or a sports performance company with professional athletes. Look up a company called P3 peak performance. Thats the kind of work I wanna do in the future. Class wise I love learning about the body, it is amazing, anatomy isn't easy I'm not going to lie but I am understanding stuff so much better and so I can help the girls in tumblr because I actually understand this stuff and don't just google things and then tell other girls. I know this shit lol. Nutrition I just have always ate clean and love nutrition and the class was really easy :). If tumblr helped you in motivation and eating clean? no not really, I'm a guy and I work out every day and eat clean every day. Don't need to look at pics to get motivated (PS i reblog girls and I'm a guy soooo not so much help with the motivation stuff lol :P :).
Anonymous asked: hi, you're a dude right? why do you post all these things for girls then? like makeup tips or girly things? not that we don't appreciated it, just wondering :)
Because how many guy fitblrs are there? I post the stuff because you girls like it and I actually made this because I am in college for exercise science and nutriton. I know alot about exercising, eating clean, nutrition like fats proteins and carbs, and much more. It killed me to see girls telling eachoher to go on 700 calorie diets and it worked for them!! OMG no, no, no, don't go under 1200 calories, your body will go into being malnutritioned and your body will eat itself for energy. Also a girl in my dorm was shaking before Spring Break because she was starving herself and went into shock because she was food deprived. Thats why I made a tumblr, and i post stuff because I know (or I hope) you girls like this stuff :) (i hope you do and appreciate my blog:) )
livehappyagain asked: so i read that you done P90X2, Insanity and Insanity: The Asylum… are results really so great as they show them on commercials?
Lol, it all depends on diet, I did P90X over summer and made all my own food, and ate good and clean at home, got amazing results, did Insanity again at school while eating not so clean and didn't get any results lol, Asylum ate clean and got amazing results, am doing P90X2 again tomorrow and am eating super clean, in 3 months I'll put up before and after pics <3. Think about this, they get over millions of success stories, they get to pick the best 30, and they could have done the program 3 times and still compare the first before pic they ever took to the final pic after the 3rd round of doing the program. They work and I love them, IN NO WAY DO I WORK OR AM ASSOCIATED WITH BEACHBODY. Just do the programs and love them. Don't buy them, torrent them if you wanna do them. My best friend did Brazil Butt Lift and she said it was super hard and an amazing workout and she could feel her ass getting worked :). Any more questions more in depth please message me :)
How do I lose weight:
It's different for every body type, but my best weight loss advice is to drink 2 liters of water a day, workout for at least an hour a day, eat healthy, make your diet 70% fruits and vegetables. For healthy food ideas go to my healthy food ideas page, for how man calories you should be eating daily go to my calorie page, for workout ideas go to my workout page.
I am * foot and *inches and I am ** years old, how much should I weigh?
I can't say that for one person, everyone is different. You should weight how ever much you are happy with. Don't use the scale.
I weigh *** do you think this is good?
I can't answer that, every body type is different it depends on where you carry your weight and how much of your weight is muscle and how much is fat. Muscle makes a huge difference:

Pick her up from her house, car jam in the car to something fun the whole way, take her to a nice steak house or even a cheap place, just anywhere we can talk and enjoy ourselves. then walk around if its in a city go to starbucks, get our fav drinks then share them and give eachother kisses and switch drinks :), and have her wear her best dress and go out on a night its going to rain, and then get caught in the pouring rain, and just walk in the rain together with her. Then when we get to the car, roll down all the windows and blast music and just dance in the rain :) ( taylor swift fearless <3) and then kiss her sometime during the pouring rain. Then drive her to a open field, go lay on the field and just star watch or something fun. Then take her home and walk her to the door and kiss her goodnight. This is my perfect first date. :)
After I kiss her good night I ask if we can watch a movie. We make smores while the sun sets over the sky and have fun with the marshmallows, ok soo now its late and we're now cuddling in her bed, just laying together, our fingers intertwined watching the notebook, and when ever noah and allie kiss we kiss, And my arms could be around her waist and my lips occasionally kissing her neck. And occasionally kissing her lips and nibbling her ear. I wanna french kiss a girl, I wanna try that with her:). With one arm around her waist and her other hand caressing my cheek, her lips on mine..then when she pulls away I bite her lower lip and pull it. <3 I would love to just pull her body right next to mine stare into her eyes. Softly kiss her and then just pull back and state into them and then just cuddle and have her in my arms. And when she looks up at me I kiss her forehead and just kiss her knowing nothing else in the world matters. Just her and me and no one else and nothing else matters right now in the world. Then have her fall asleep in my arms <3
This could go on and on and on…. Iove writing :)

What is a plateau?
When trainers, well, train people, we measure everything we do with graphs. The vertical plane usually measures improvement, while the horizontal plane measures time. We design programs with the aim of keeping the vertical line moving upward. When results taper off, the vertical line flattens. Our desired result is a line that looks like a steep slope. What we want to avoid is a line that looks like a plateau, or worse, one that goes back down.
Switching up your routine and your diet plan are both encouraged for this exact purpose. Regardless, everyone hits a plateau eventually. By arming yourself with the knowledge of what causes a plateau, as well as possible solutions, you can minimize your time on the flat line.
Why do plateaus happen?
It's part of the body's natural process to hit a plateau because it's always trying to regulate itself. So basically, your body is always trying to plateau. We call this regulated state homeostasis. Your body's a creature of habit, but it doesn't care whether those habits are bad or good. The more you do something to enact change, the more your body adapts and tries to limit that change. This is a survival instinct—less stress is placed on your body. However, when you're unhealthy, your body is willing to call unhealthinesshomeostasis. So the aim of an exercise program is to keep your body stressed.
We think of stress as bad, but we need it to be healthy. Stress causes our bodies to react. These reactions include releasing hormones that keep your body strong. This helps you fight the natural aging process. The key with stress is managing it. You want to stress yourself, but only enough so you can still recover from the process. When we're overstressed, it's a symptom we refer to in the fitness world as overtrained.
What is overtraining?
There's an old adage in the fitness world that goes something like this—it's credited to two fringe characters who referred to themselves as The Barbarian Brothers:
"There is no such thing as overtraining. There is only undereating, undersleeping, and failure of will."
From this statement, we could call overtraining underrecovering, and this would be accurate. But since athletes tend to be of the "more must be better" variety, overtraining is the term that stuck. No matter how you spin it, if we don't balance training, resting, and eating, we will stop making progress, no matter how hard we push ourselves.
Why we train in phases
To get the most out of an exercise program, you need to break habits from time to time. This is why most training programs are broken up into phases or blocks that generally look something like this:
Most athletes train in 3- to 6-week blocks, wherein they work on one energy system at a time. Each block is broken down into the phases listed above. At the end of each block, your body begins to plateau, which is a sign you should begin a recovery phase—a period of lower-level exercise designed to help your body peak its fitness level, either for an event or a new block of training.
The fitter you are, the quicker you adapt to new routines.
What to do when plateaus happen
You're usually not sure why you've hit a plateau; otherwise, you wouldn't have hit it. Luckily, there are only a few possibilities.
Basically, you're in a plateau because you're doing too much or too little of something. If you're not working hard enough, you probably know that. If your diet is bad, you probably know that too. In fact, if this were the case, you probably didn't see results in the first place, so you're likely not plateauing—you just haven't gotten any results at all. For those "too-much" or "too-little" scenarios, here are the solutions most likely to work:

The most accessible and popular of the parks in Loei province, PHU KRADUNG NATIONAL PARK protects a grassy 1300m plateau 80km south of Loei whose temperate climate supports a number of tree, flower and bird species not normally found in Thailand. Walking trails crisscross much of sixty-square-kilometre Phu Kradung (Bell Mountain), and you could spend three days here exploring them fully – you'll need one night as a minimum, as the trip from Loei to the top of the plateau and back can't be done comfortably in a day. The park is at its busiest during weekends in December and January, when the main headquarters up on the plateau is surrounded by a sea of tents.
The attractions of the mountain come and go with the seasons. October is muddy after the rains, but the waterfalls that tumble off the northwestern edge of the plateau are in full cascade and the main trail is green and shady. December brings out the maple leaves; by February the waterfalls have disappeared and the vegetation on the lower slopes has been burnt away. April is good for rhododendrons and wild roses, which in Thailand are only found at such high altitudes as this.
Among the park's wildlife, mammals such as elephants, sambar deer and gibbons can be seen very occasionally, but they generally confine themselves to the evergreen forest on the northern part of the plateau, which is out of bounds to visitors. In the temperate pines, oaks and beeches that dot the rest of the plateau you're more likely to spot resident birds such as jays, sultan tits and snowy-browed flycatchers if you're out walking in the early morning and evening.Read More
The trails
The trails
The challenging main trail leads from the Sri Taan visitor centre, at the base of the mountain, 5.5km up the eastern side of Phu Kradung, passing occasional refreshment stalls, and becoming steeper and rockier on the last 1km, with wooden steps over the most difficult parts; most people take at least three hours, including rest stops. The main trail is occasionally closed for maintenance, when a parallel 4.5km trail is opened up in its place. At the end of the actual climb, the unbelievable view as your head peeps over the rim more than rewards the effort: flat as a playing field, the broad plateau is dotted with odd clumps of pine trees thinned by periodic lightning fires, which give it the appearance of a country park.
Several feeder trails fan out from here, including a 9.5km path along the precipitous southern edge that offers sweeping views of Dong Phaya Yen, the untidy range of mountains to the southwest that forms the unofficial border between the northeast and the central plains. Another trail heads along the eastern rim for 2.5km to Pha Nok An – also reached by a 2km path east from the main visitor centre – which looks down on neat rice fields and matchbox-like houses in the valley below, an outlook that's especially breathtaking at sunrise.

- Very passionate right form the start, the girls really enjoying kissing and sucking on each other's tongues. There is a very high energy level, not in the obvious sense of the girls rolling around all over each other but the electricity and sexual tension hangs heavy in the air. These two women have clearly been waiting a long time for this moment to come, where they can finally embrace and taste what has been so tantalisingly close for so long. There is nothing to be said, the understanding between the two is animal, instinctive and they both act accordingly, following these impulses to their natural outcome. There is great intimacy in Eve's orgasm and in the reaction of the women afterwards, Micha wants to hold Eve closely and feel her heart racing and her hot breath on her neck. Eve makes sure she truly satisfies Micha and won't stop until she feels her trembling with orgasmic pleasure, which she does as she grabs hold of Eve's hair as the brunette eats her pussy with a hunger.
