Lady Gaga. 4 / 13 Wild Strawberry-Vanilla Bean Confiture What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Preserves such as this wild strawberry-vanilla bean confiture and a pluot-orange-lavender variety are sure to gussy up morning toast and scones. 6 / 13 Liège Waffles What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Liège waffles — a popular Belgian treat whose brioche-like batter is studded with pearl sugar , which provides extra crunch and sweetness — are part of the breakfast menu lineup. Here, the caramelized waffles are served with a dollop of the wild strawberry-vanilla bean confiture. 6 / 13 Ganache and Tipsy Marshmallows What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Chef Pura's variety of marshmallows are sure to inspire your own creations; flavors on offer include Tahitian vanilla bean, Tipsy (a rum-spiked coconut treat), Tesla (a zesty passionfruit, Meyer lemon, and yuzu variety), and tropical mango-banana. 7 / 13 Tesla Tartlet What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A Nikolai Tesla-inspired Meyer lemon-yuzu curd tart, dolloped with passion fruit and topped with a passion fruit marshmallow, lived up to its electric etymology.

ABC5 Sports Desk
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa senior defensive back Micah Hyde has been named the recipient of the Big Ten's Tatum-Woodson Defensive Back of the Year Award. The announcement was made by the Big Ten Conference Monday and announced on the BTN's annual show revealing the 2012 all-conference teams.
Along with being named Defensive Back of the Year, Hyde was named first-team All-Big Ten by both league coaches and media. Senior center James Ferentz was named second-team All-Big Ten by vote of the conference coaches.
Hawkeye players who earned honorable mention recognition from both Big Ten coaches and media include junior tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz, junior linebacker Anthony Hitchens and junior kicker Mike Meyer. Senior offensive lineman Matt Tobin was honorable mention by league coaches, while Ferentz, senior defensive end Joe Gaglione and junior linebacker James Morris earned honorable mention recognition from the media.
"Micah has done a tremendous job for our team both on and off the field the past four years," said UI head coach Kirk Ferentz. "Not only has Micah been a great starter at cornerback for us the last three years, he has also been a valuable contributor on special teams as a gunner and punt returner. Micah has sparked our team with many big plays, maybe none bigger than his interception and touchdown return versus Missouri in the 2010 Insight Bowl. He has been a strong and positive team leader for some time."
The Tatum-Woodson Defensive Back Award is named after former Ohio State player Jack Tatum and former Boilermaker Rod Woodson. Hyde completed the season with 78 tackles, including 44 solo tackles. He led the team with 14 pass break-ups, forced two fumbles, and had one interception. He recovered three fumbles, one of which he returned for a touchdown against Purdue.
Hyde (6-foot-1, 190 pounds) is a native of Fostoria, Ohio. He started all 38 games over his final three seasons and played in all 51 games throughout his career. He recorded 240 career tackles to tie for 34th on Iowa's career tackle list. He is tied for 18th in career interceptions (8-142 yards) and had four forced and three recovered fumbles in his career. He had interception returns of 72 and 66 yards for touchdowns as a sophomore, which are the 10th and 12th-longest returns in school history. Hyde averaged 7.5 yards on 27 punt returns the last two seasons. He earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2011, and was honorable mention in 2010.

Are You A Real Man?
Only three installments into this series and Andrew has already begun asking when he'll be getting a Real Woman.
It's my own fault. I had stupidly relayed a conversation I'd had with Cappa about some cool upcoming "Are You a Real Man?" concepts and that the call had ended with him saying, "This Andrew guy has to be pretty stoked. If he can't land a piece of ass after all this, he'll need a sex change."
It was a good sign that Andrew was ready to get back in the game. But I had to remind him that part of why he had agreed to do these Real Man stories was that he'd really wanted to try to become a better man by looking outward at the lives of Real Men so that he could look inward and become real too. Doing that would also help him with the deeper questions he'd been unable to answer about himself, including why he hasn't been successful in relationships or found the right person yet.
"Yeah, yeah, that's all still true," he said. "And I've already learned a lot about myself from building fire with sticks and jumping a truck. But New Year's Eve is coming and I don't like watching balls drop at midnight all alone."
It was still early in the Man-ifesto, but I decided to go ahead and attempt to gauge his progress. Based on the topic at hand, I suggested he make a list of things he believed women were looking for in a man. It took him all of 30 seconds to write:
"Husband. Money. Sex. Kids. (Not necessarily in that order.)"
Then I asked him what he thought the key was to a successful marriage. It took him all of 30 seconds to write:
I had my own thoughts on what he was doing wrong with this line of thinking, but since Andrew is supposed to be learning from Real Men, the advice had to come from one. My dad and stepmother are just shy of their 30th wedding anniversary, so I asked the secret to their enduring marriage. "For me, it has been due to the training I got in the Army," my dad told me. He had run the motorpool in what was then called the 305th Chemical Company, which dealt with chemical, biological, and radiological warfare. There were only two units of that kind in the world at the time; the other was disseminating Agent Orange in Vietnam.
"What it takes to win the war is also what it takes to keep the peace."
I couldn't quite make the connection between blistered skin and eternal happiness.
"Well, in the Army, I learned how to receive orders without arguing," he elaborated. "Sure, it's hard when they're stupid, but you learn respect and to not question command orders." It translated into marriage as listening to his wife and letting her be right—even when she wasn't.
That got me thinking: If Real Men in this series are preparing Andrew for life, would they by default also prepare him for a wife? Regardless, that list made it clear he needed some basic training, especially after he interpreted my dad's advice to mean marital bliss lies in atomic decontamination.
But then Andrew said, "I'm not cut out for the military. I'm kind of a control freak, so it's a problem if someone is telling me to run up the hill when I know that when I run up the hill I'm going to be shot. I would question the orders. I would also probably think I could do a better job at leading."
And that's the thing: I'd noticed while doing our previous Real Man stories about surviving Doomsday and learning to race from Ivan Stewart that Andrew doesn't really like being told what to do and prefers working through things on his own. So, were we on to something bigger here about why his relationships weren't working out? Was he unable to compromise? Was he too focused on his own interests? I couldn't say for sure, but even he admitted there was some kind of a cycle he needed to break. I figured, if the military can make a boy a man, it could probably also make a man a Real Man.
And with that, we pointed a vehicle of Real Men, a '12 Toyota Tundra, toward the Mojave Desert, home of the Army's National Training Center (NTC) and Fort Irwin. It's where ground and air combat teams train for war. The training center was activated in 1980, but after 9/11 it became the epicenter for training the Army's soldiers nationwide for deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan. The NTC has even built a perfect replica of Afghan towns, with identical buildings and roads. Training allows soldiers to experience the authentic sights, sounds, and languages they could encounter in order to expose them to the unknown before it's known. Hired civilians and soldiers role-play as villagers—and as terrorists. There's also live-fire training. They experience taking RPGs, getting hit from multiple angles, and dealing with mass casualties, all the while learning how to organize and stay strong as a unit in the midst of chaos and hardship.
As odd as it sounded on paper, metaphorically those seemed like the same things we're exposed to in relationships.
We arrived on a day in which the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, from Fort Bliss, Texas, was there for its combat training. "The units that come through here are mainly task fleet proficient, but now we're taking it to the next level," explained Captain Patrick Tabin, an Observer/Controller Trainer with Scorpion Team Operations Group, a unit at the NTC. "It's really intended to stress the systems."
Andrew replied, "That's what she said." Then he laughed. Capt. Tabin did not.
Maybe this idea wasn't so great after all.

I think Kesha is in the illuminati. I think this because of how she wears her make up which represents, the seeing eye, which is really bad. Also she makes that sign, and all those weird symbols. Alot. of people are in it, and if you born in a celebrity family your probably automaticaly in it. But that's how people make it, you get alot of money, and awards, ect.. Being in that stuff, doesnt necessarily mean you worship the devil, your probably just ignorant, and don't know what the whole music business is about.We're living in the last days where the illuminati wants to win people over to the devil side. Notice how alot of teen singers are becoming famous. I don't know how, but they are preparing the next generation to be satanic. Also nowa days music artist are starting to expose themselves, because sopposely it's time. Praying will NOT HELP HER AT ALL!!. Once you sell your soul, your denying christ.... and that's it...besta believe they go straight to hell. Like if I were god, I wouldn't want you back either lolsz[serious subject]. I like Kesha too, but someday I'm gonna have to give up alot of the music that is out right now. God is coming soon, so I'm gonna be ready, and caught up so I could go to heaven when I die. People like Jay-z, Rhianna, and those people be saying live your life... but their f-in up their lives, and after lives. I wanna be famous, but I will never be in that stuff. smh i wanna pray for them, but prayer won't work for some one who sold their soul.
p.s. Don't believe 2012, some dude made that movie. If that movie never came out no one would be saying the world is gonna end. No man knows when God is coming back, he will be like a theif in the night.

Statement of Comptroller Peter Franchot regarding the new revenue estimates released today, December 13, 2012 by the Board of Revenue Estimates:
"Last month, as chair of the Board of Revenue Estimate I convened one of our Economic Advisory Forums and I found it to be particularly informative. At the forum, we heard testimony from key businesses leaders in every geographic region of the State, and in each sector of the economy…and we heard personal accounts from the front lines of the "Real Economy," confirming the data we're seeing.
One of the key takeaways for me was the term "porpoising". Essentially, the private sector is telling us that the underlying economic insecurity out there is causing unpredictable ups and downs from month to month. This prevents businesses from being able to confidently plan ahead which means they're not hiring new employees, promoting from within or making investments in their company's future. And this sentiment was underscored by fears and uncertainty with the looming fiscal cliff that poses disproportionate harm to
In fact, at $92 billion, federal spending accounts for one-third of the State's economy; a truly staggering number. Needless to say, what happens in
So while I'm pleased that we're here to write up our cautious economic projections by $161 Million for fiscal years 2013 and 2014 we need to understand that these estimates assume that our political parties can come together to solve our nation's economic challenges.
Given the consequences, it's a reasonable assumption. But as someone who spent years on Capitol Hill, reason and logic might not be applicable. And cause for caution goes well beyond the fiscal cliff.
This report reflects the fact that the economy is growing, but very modestly. Yet, it has an exceedingly soft economic underbelly with inherent risks. Yes, employment is showing noticeable improvement, but wage growth is exceedingly poor – with
And while the statistics are important, they demonstrate a far more telling story. They show that far too many Marylanders are taking home less pay at a time when their living costs are rising, meaning they have less discretionary money to spend on themselves and their kids in an economy that's primarily based on consumer spending.
There's just no way to gloss over the fact that – despite positive news in recent weeks – we still have a steep hill to climb. The truth is that sales and use tax, perhaps our most indicative economic indicator, remains incredibly weak.
And the bulk of the increase in individual income that's reflected is largely due to the State's retroactive tax increases, along with fear-induced early dividend disbursements and capital gains sell-offs caused by the looming fiscal cliff. It's important that as we write these revenues up, we do so soberly, understanding that revenue stability should NOT be confused with economic progress.
And while we'll take any bit of positive news we can get, it shouldn't be mistaken for anything more than it is. Consider for a minute that in order to get back to our pre-recession long-term trend, revenues would have to increase by 11.5% annually over the next 3 years!
Then think about the stubborn general fund growth we're talking about this year. At just 2.9% – once we adjust for the tax law changes – you realize how steep the hill is before us; caused by a recession whose magnitude and depth we haven't experienced in our lifetimes.
While we share hope about our prospects for a long-range economic recovery, hope is not and economic strategy. So we must remain extremely cautious in our outlook moving forward.
Yes, the hill is significant; but, in the long-term, I know
And I remain as confident as ever that

Twice a year, we do a report card on the front office's latest moves...once at the beginning of the season, once after the trade deadline. It's that time of the year again and after Thursday's roller-coaster ride, it may not be a good time to assess, but we have no choice.
So here's this week's agenda: Is it better for the Nets that the entire season is cancelled? Why Bob MacKinnon? What did we learn in a Barclays Center tour? Will the Nets take a deep look at Team Russia? And speaking of Russia, what's going to happen with Prokhorov, not that we know? So come on up for the rising.
In a 30-minute talk with the team's beat writers, Avery Johnson confirmed that John Loyer, the team's highly thought of assistant, will join Lawrence Frank's staff in Detroit. Although he wouldn't confirm that P.J. Carlesimo will be joining the the Nets, he heaped praise on the former Seton Hall and Warriors coach
Rick Adelman said he wanted to take some time off after his gig with the Rockets but the lure of a young team (and as much as $25 mllion) lured him to Minnesota and he beat out Nets' assistant Sam Mitchell for the Timberwolves job. It had reported that Mitchell, along with Adelman and Don Nelson had been leading candidates.
John Loyer, who has a reputation as one of the NBA's top assistant coaches, may be headed to Detroit to work with the man who brought him to the Nets three years ago, Lawrence Frank. Colin Stephenson reports that the Nets have given Loyer permission to talk with the Pistons and a decision is expected in the next day or two.
David Kahn, the Timberwolves GM, apparently has Sam Mitchell on his short list for head coach...but would like to expand the list to include Rick Adelman, late of the Rockets. Adelman had initially indicated he wanted to take this year off but Kahn wants him to come to Minnesota for a chat and he may very well.
The Nets have one coaching vacancy, with Larry Krystkowiak having departed for the University of Utah. They'll learn later this week if Sam Mitchell is headed for the head coaching job in Minnesota, giving them two. While it's been reported that P.J. Carlesimo is a "strong" candidate for one of those jobs, he isn't the only one and no one expects a quick decision. If Mitchell doesn't get the job in Minnesota, he's likely to return.
With interviews for the head coaching job complete in Minnesota, reports indicate that Sam Mitchell is now the favorite for the job. Avery Johnson's lead assistant interviewed for the job earlier in the week and appeared confident afterwards. The Wolves' owner, Glen Taylor, conducted the interview. He's reportedly a big Mitchell fan.
Sam Mitchell wouldn't talk much about his interview with Timberwolves front office Tuesday, but beat reporter Jerry Zgoda tweeted that the Nets lead assistant and 2007 Coach of the Year "sounded relaxed and confident" afterwards.
Jerry Zgoda of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune tweets that the Timberwolves will interview Sam Mitchell for their head coaching vacancy on Friday. Larry Brown will be interviewed next week. Although Mitchell has been a fan favorite for the job, earlier reports had Minnesota GM David Kahn not very high on the Nets lead assistant.

The pipe has a device at the mains-end, which is described in the manual as a "water stop device, which protects against damage caused by water leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose".
Do I really need to spend a fortune getting the proper pipe from AEG, or can I just use an ordinary pipe without a "water stop device"?
I assume your talking about one of those braided flex hoses that has a built in stop.
Well if so junk it and get something better. Better as in one with out the stop. I have had nothing but bad luck with those things.
I'm just starting to work with an old friend of mine to bring solar electric and hot water systems, wind turbines, Flex Fuel Boilers, batteries, hydroponic gardening, books, pellet grills and more. Also the parts for DIY installation.
They can be a nuisance because sometimes they assume a quick opening valve is a broken line and shut off prematurely. Throw them away. Get standard braided metal hoses, and replace them every 5 years of you are worried about a leak.
Probably the more important issue is to have and use religiously the main shutoffs to the WM. relying on the hoses over long periods of unuse is not wise...use the valve - close it when you are done.

Hi guys,
Thanks for all the quick replies! I've included a photo of it so you can see if it is what you think it is.
So if you guys reckon this is just some rubbish anti-leak thing then I'll go and get a normal inlet pipe. Do I need a non-return valve?
Hmmm I guess the watts floodsafe hoses are great compared to that one..
The last Co. I worked for wanted us to install Watts Flood safe Laundry hoses. I refused. I have installed a few and had to replace all of them. I will never install those pieces of junk again.
I'm just starting to work with an old friend of mine to bring solar electric and hot water systems, wind turbines, Flex Fuel Boilers, batteries, hydroponic gardening, books, pellet grills and more. Also the parts for DIY installation.
That looks like the same thing that is inline with the Miele dishwasher supply line.
Thanks for all the help everyone! As it happens, I've cleaned out some of the limescale and put the same pipe back on, and it's stopped leaking now
But just in case it starts again, can you just let me know, in layman's term, if I should be able to replace it with a normal pipe (without the gadgetry) and, if so, if I need a non-return valve?
A few days ago I connected an AEG supply pipe exactly like the one in your photograph, Mr Skills. I did this simply by screwing it onto the existing threaded end of the mini stop valve at the cold supply and connecting the other end to the machine. Everything was fine for several days use, and then the blue plastic end just popped off, leaving the brass threaded connection in place. The kitchen was flooded. If we had been out the whole house would have been flooded. What have I done wrong? If it is not me but the hose, shouldn't there be thousands affected, and headline news? I am really puzzled. I shall contact the supplier, but should appreciate an independent comment.

As we are used to braided stainless steel hoses with solid brass or solid stainless steel connector nuts, that plastic gizmo looks absolutely pitiful to us. I wonder if it is intended for use in areas which have much lower pressure than the 60 to 80 PSI not uncommon in our neck of the woods?
Thank you. That had crossed my mind, but there is nothing in the handbook warning of such a problem. Our usual plumber is abroad at present, but a near neighbour who is a dedicated diy person, looked at it and is as puzzled as I am. You cannot see it in the above photograph, but the threaded brass ring that has become detached from the blue plastic end is held in place by nothing more than a milled surface on the outer face of the ring, no bayonet type stubs or anything.

Really! You must be paying him too much!
Ho ho, jimbo. I won't make you feel bad by telling you that his trip abroad is for family reasons.
I can give a blow by blow account of this problem, but only if you think it may be useful. For example the plastic fill pipe with the special leak detector comes with the AEG machine, model L74650, and the user manual specifically states that any existing hose should not be re-used. Of course that is exactly what I have done now, so that the machine can be used while finding out what the problem is. The posts above are critical of the pipe but not because they come apart. The brass-coloured connecting ring stuffed in the blue part at the end of the pipe is only held by friction. Someone suggested to me that perhaps it was supposed to be glued and wasn't. The retailer yesterday advised me that, "honestly, we have never had this problem before" and was certain that water pressure would not be a factor. I am in London and the majority of households are on mains pressure. AEG offered to replace the pipe, but of course that is not acceptable on at least two counts. So they are going to send someone to look into the matter. They would not do this without insisting that I shall have to pay if they can prove that I connected it wrongly.

Insulin is a hormone that lowers the level of glucose (a type of sugar) in the blood. It's made by the beta cells of the pancreas and released into the blood when the glucose level goes up, such as after eating. Insulin helps glucose enter the body's cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for future use.
In diabetes, the pancreas doesn't make enough insulin or the body can't respond normally to the insulin that is made. This causes the glucose level in the blood to rise.

About a month ago my husband and I began rebuilding a portion of our deck on our home here on in . It required a bit of demolition, noisy demolition that included a chainsaw and a lot of hammering.
Shortly after starting we realized a robin had made a nest on a portion of the deck railing that was sandwiched between a thickly leafed tree limb and a portion of latticed screening. In it, she had laid one perfect little blue egg. The nest was smack-dab in the middle of our reconstruction project and there was no way, we figured, that egg would ever hatch, given that my husband was spending hours out there every day, sawing and hammering. All the noise had the mother robin away from her nest for long periods.
We were right. About a week into the project we realized the egg was gone, snatched by something, we figured, that stole into the nest while the mother was away.
We also figured that we'd seen the last of the mother bird. But about a week later my husband found four new eggs in the nest. By this point we were done with all the heavy construction and weren't spending quite as much time on that portion of the deck. We hoped the eggs would survive, but given how close the nest is to the ground (about four feet) and how accessible it is for neighborhood cats, I gave them little chance of hatching.
But they did, about two days ago. Here's a bit of video of the eggs, the mother and the four new hatchlings.
I'm still doubtful of their chances of survival. Once they're old enough to start loudly cheeping for food and for their mother, cats or other carnivorous critters are going to hear them. It's a very easy leap up to the nest from the deck or even the ground, and I'm sort of wondering why the mother even chose that spot.
My husband and I tried to figure out a way to protect them, but I really don't see how we can. Moving the nest, we reasoned, would be a disaster and would likely scare the mother away, bringing a slow death to her babies.
If you know of any way we can help them, let us know. We're stumped.
Meanwhile, I'll keep monitoring their progress and give updates on them, with new photos or videos. For better, or worse, I'll let you know how our robin family is faring!

IKEA isn't just for college students looking to furnish their dorm rooms on the cheap, Mike Ward, president of IKEA USA, told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street"on Monday.
The Swedish maker of ready-to-be-assembled furniture has done well despite the sluggish housing market, the executive said, because "even in tough times we represent good value."
While traditionally seen as a good option for college students, more people have tried IKEA, Ward said. The Swedish company competes with other furniture makers, including Ethan Allen , Furniture Brands and La-Z-Boy in the U.S.
Growth is now coming from the main areas of the home — living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms, Ward said. That underscores the widening appeal of IKEA's furniture.
(Read More:Cities With the Most Affordable Homes.)
"We're broadening out because kitchens are bought more by people in their 40s and 50s," he said. The appeal also cuts across income groups, Ward indicated.
The private company known for its secrecy is also beginning to share more about its business. "There has been a decision lately to be more transparent and we are," he said. Mostly this has been to keep employees more informed, but also "we think it is important build relationships this way," Ward noted.
IKEA is looking at expanding in the Miami and Kansas City markets, Ward said. "Most cities are happy to have us there and we expect that to continue," he said, adding, "An average store will add 450 jobs to the local economy — that's good for the city and it's good for us."

Oct. 24, 2013
VANCOUVER, Washington (AP)— An 11-year-old boy accused of bringing a gun, knives and more than 400 rounds of ammunition to his middle school was headed to court Thursday after being arrested for investigation of attempted murder.
The boy was expected to make his first appearance in Clark County Juvenile Court as detectives investigated whether anyone else knew what he was up to on Wednesday, when the weapons were found, police spokeswoman Kim Kapp said.
Frontier Middle School notified police that ammo had been discovered at the school. Arriving officers found the weapons and took the boy into custody. His name has not been released.
The school, which has 900 students, and nearby Pioneer Elementary School, which has about 600 students, were declared safe after a two-hour lockdown.
Parents were notified through social media and a letter sent home with students, said Evergreen Public Schools spokesman Kris Fay. Classes were back to normal Thursday.
There was no indication other students were involved, Fay said.
The boy has been expelled. He did not have a reputation as a troublemaker, Fay said.
"This kid has not been on the radar for this," he said.
The school will review the incident, but Fay said it appears all the protocols were followed.
"From the safety standpoint, everything went well yesterday," he said.

Jamie Gutierrez Mora does not meet residency requirements for serving on the Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority board and could be removed, Omaha's city attorney said Friday.
In a six-page opinion, City Attorney Paul Kratz said Gutierrez Mora's property, voting and vehicle registration records make it clear the new board member lives in Sarpy County.
Kratz said Gutierrez Mora is not a "resident elector" of Douglas County, as required by a development agreement between the City of Omaha and MECA — even though she registered to vote in Douglas County late last year.
That distinction, he said, is grounds for her removal. Taking Gutierrez Mora off the board would require the support of both the mayor and the council. Alternately, the MECA board can act independently to remove a board member.
Kratz said his investigation was prompted by a World-Herald article that showed Gutierrez Mora had provided the city a r�sum� listing a South Omaha property as her address, though records indicated she had owned and lived in a home in Bellevue for several years.
Gutierrez Mora is the owner of a South Omaha-based company, Midwest Maintenance Co., that holds one of MECA's largest contracts.
She has repeatedly declined to publicly discuss where she lives and did not return calls seeking comment Friday.
The opinion from Kratz notes a significant difference between the two homes: Gutierrez Mora bought the 3,500-square-foot Bellevue home in 2009 for more than $700,000, while the South Omaha property is a divided rental property owned by her husband with an assessed value of $125,000.
Gutierrez Mora also owns a home near the ocean in Carmel, Calif., with a tax value of just over $2 million.
During the board appointment process, Gutierrez Mora first gave the City Council a r�sum� listing the South Omaha address of her business, without a home address.
A day later, on Feb. 28, she sent an email to a member of the City Council staff. In it, she noted that she and her husband own residential property in Douglas and Sarpy Counties and in California.
She wrote that she had "selected our residential property in Douglas County as my domicile of record."
Her resume was updated to reflect the addresses of her business and the South Omaha rental property.
Kratz said that wasn't enough.
"It is clear that Ms. Gutierrez is, and remains, a long-time resident of Sarpy County and that she has no intention that the Omaha address be her permanent and principal home," Kratz wrote. "It is inconceivable that she has moved from her large Bellevue home to a small, old, multi-unit house in Omaha. Simply listing the house as her domicile does not, in fact, make it her residence."
Kratz said he didn't believe Gutierrez Mora's status as a registered voter in Douglas County was enough to meet the qualifications.
Gutierrez Mora switched her voter registration from Sarpy to Douglas County in late December, less than three months before the City Council appointed her to the MECA board. On her voter registration form, she listed the South Omaha address as her home – and signed an oath that states: "I live in the State of Nebraska at the address provided in this application."
The oath says applicants who knowingly provide false information are guilty of election falsification, a felony.
Kratz noted that Gutierrez Mora has never actually voted in Douglas County despite two opportunities to do so. Instead, he said, she has a history of voting in Sarpy County.
Last month, Gutierrez Mora told The World-Herald that she changed her voter registration in order to get more involved in the community.
"When I moved to Sarpy County, my kids were little," she said. "I was being pulled to get into politics, City Council, different political positions. I wanted to focus on my children when they were young. Now my kids are older, and it's important to have voting rights in Douglas County. That's why I eventually changed it."
Kratz said Gutierrez Mora's situation differs from an earlier debate over MECA residency rules involving former board member David Sokol, who was removed from and then put back on the board.
In that case, Kratz said, Sokol bought a home out of state but maintained a residence in Douglas County where it was likely "his intentions were to return each night."
Mayor Jean Stothert did not immediately announce plans to act on the legal opinion.
"I will review the city attorney's position and reserve my opinion until I talk to Ms. Gutierrez," she said in a statement.
MECA board Chairman John Lund did not return a call for comment.
Council President Pete Festersen said he would not support any move to remove Gutierrez Mora from her position.
"Jamie Gutierrez is a taxpayer and a business owner in the city of Omaha, and she is a Hispanic woman who is very involved in our community," he said. "These are desirable attributes of a MECA board member, and she continues to have strong support on the City Council."
Festersen said he was not troubled by Gutierrez Mora's choice to list a property she does not live at as her home address during the board appointment process.
"We believe she met the standard of a qualified elector and so did she," he said. "The most important thing is that we're seeking individuals that have the experience and capability to manage our public facilities and who are representative of our community and committed to its success. And she definitely is."

The Radegast brewery will open its gates on Saturday (Translation)
29 April 2010
Nošovice, April 28, 2010 - This Saturday, fans of the popular Moravian beer will have an opportunity to look over the shoulder of brewers from Nošovice. Pivovar Radegast is already organizing a thirteenth Open Door Day, which will take place from 8 am until 4 pm. The tour will take the visitors through the entire process of beer making, culminating with a tasting at the lookout restaurant above the brewery. The tour is free of charge and due to a traditionally large popularity, organizers recommend making reservations early.
"Radegast is one of few breweries in Europe which allows its visitors to see the real process of how the beer is made. There aren't many places where you can look over the shoulder of professional beer makers, just like you do at our brewery," said manager of the Radegast brewery, Ivo Kaňák, explaining the tour's popularity.
Groups will be driven to the brewery on Saturday, May 1, every half an hour. The first tour, which will take about 90 minutes, will start at 8 am and the last one will be at 4 pm.
"The last stop of the tour will be the lookout restaurant above the brewery. A beautiful view of the panorama of Beskydy with a glass of perfectly chilled Radegast beer is the best way to end the tour," added Ivo Kaňák
This year marks Radegast's thirteenth open door day, and the tour is usually very popular. That is why it is best to reserve a specific time for a tour in advance at 558 602 566 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Entry into the brewery on May 1st is free of charge.

What a treat these burgers are! I love how the tangy flavor of the sauce and the peppery notes of the greens play off the savory burger.

Hiya! I titled this week 7 re-do because I literally have to do week 7 again. I had an emergency trip come up out of the blue, so with the packing/planning/rearranging I only had 1 workout the entire week. It was madness, but humerous none the less! The trip was not that bad, the eating was pretty much on track (minus the 1 sausage and beer business meeting and the early AM pancake meetings (only 1 for me!)) Workouts were a no go, but like I said...the eating was pretty much on track! I'm suprised and elated that I have changed so much.
Anyways, the reason I type this is because I've only lost 6 pounds and accoring to the body fat scale, 2% body fat.
I was wondering if you guys could just double check my stats and see that I'm doing everything right or need to tweek in any areas! Thank you guys! You are awesome!
1st Challenge, Week 7 (yet again)
Cardio - bike or run, 20 minutes, HR range 133 - 160, cals appx 200 per session. I workout on an empty stomach and eat eggwhites/toast within 30 afterwards.
Arms - start at 5, then 10, 15, 20, last set is at 10. (i want to start off at 10, then 15, 20, 25, last set at 10 again...is that ok?). I eat breakfast an 1 1/2 before the workout and I drink a protein shake within 30 minutes afterwards
Legs - same as arms.
eating - 6 times a day, CLA with the meals. The food cheating is minimial, I've dropped to 1 cheat meal a week.
Water - 3 glasses with each meal and at least 3 more throughout the day.
EAS products - Myoplex lite, CLA. I'm starting to transition to EAS reduced carb.
Meals - 1 meat, 1 veggie with each meal (minus breakfast - egg whites and toast) . Protein/carb ratio is about 15-20 grams of protein with 20 - 25 carbs at each meal (os so I try. Lunch is hit or miss because sometimes I only eat a sandwich)
Weight - 160, Body Fat 36% (again, this is according to the scale. I've not gotten an official caliper test yet)
Thanks again guys! I really appreciate all you have done for me!! Rock on B4L-ers!
Forgive me but WHY ARE YOU DOING WEEK 7 OVER?! Really it is not necessary. Not many people have a perfect challenge. Press ahead and continue on to week 8! If you keep doing stuff over, you will have a hard time getting to week 12. Life happens so just work with it.
Cardio looks ok but just so you understand, this is how it works. Order the 4 DVD Set from this website by the way, it's great! :-)
You should be working out on an empty stomach, even on weight days if your goal is fat loss. I personally do my weight days like this - 5, then 10, 15, 20, last set is at 15.
Water - You should be getting in at least 80-96 oz of water per day, however you get it done.
When you say meat do you mean protein? That's what you should be having with each meal 1 protein, 1 carb and 1 veggie with at least 2 of your meals.
Hope this helps.
Love you some you...PERSEVERE!
Meldia.....I was on week 5 and had to take a work trip myself. I was unable to go to the gym, but I ran when I could. I was like you and thought I should "redo" my week five....I got a TON of advice from a lot of people on the forum telling me not to "redo" any weeks. BFL is all about overcoming challenges and working with what is available to you. The reality is, in real life you will always face unexpected trips, loss, or just plain crazy schedules and redos are not an option...The twelve week program is no different, it's just a training period for the rest of your life....Keep up the good work, and just press through week eight.....My week six was killer because I knew I was unable to excel like I wanted to on week five.....It was motivation, and kept me going!!!!
*~*Success is hidden under a rock of hard work. Keep digging with patience; it's up to you, only*~*
I agree with the other posters...THERE IS NO RE-DO's.....ONLY REBOOTS!
Bring on week 8! 5 more weeks to give it all you can. :)
One other very important thing is that to officially enter the challenge, it must be 12 consecutive weeks. Just consider week 7 a wash and continue on to week 8, give it your best the rest of the challenge!!
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right ~ Henry Ford
Michelle Simpson ~2009 Body-for-LIFE Champion 46+ Catagory
Hi Guys! Thanks for all of the advice! I'll just go ahead and pickup the workout at week 8 and continue to stick to the schedule. I must say...this B4L is sorta fun. I've been inactive for about 2 years and it feels good to have the fat flushing and the blood aflowin!
One more question - this one is for the ladies: Have any of you lost cellulite while on this program? (some science say that its genetic, but I've been fit before and never had it. Once I gained the excess weight I also gained the cellulite - yuck!) I was thinking about cutting my carbs on at least 2 of my meals (by drinking the EAS carb lite) too see if that will elevate the results. Any suggestions? I dont see a difference in the carb intake.....
Don't cut anything. I also was in shape once with no cellulite. After doing the program, it's virtually gone. I might have one dent. :-) With the carb lite shakes you need to have a carb to make it a meal. This works, no tweaking needed. You can click on my profile name to see my transformation.
Sharon--Wonder-WomanYou should be working out on an empty stomach, even on weight days if your goal is fat loss. I personally do my weight days like this - 5, then 10, 15, 20, last set is at 15.
Sharon, is this the weight or number of reps per set?

Melanoma in Dogs
Melanomas are tumors that arise from melanocytes (skin cells that are responsible for the pigmentation or coloration of the skin), skin cells of the basal skin layer. A common form of skin cancer in dogs, melanomas usually appear as small brownish black lumps just under the skin. Melanomas may also be seen in the mouth, toes and under the eyes, and are usually characterized by the dark-toned pigment. They are generally benign when they are seen in the skin, but in mouth, toe and eyes, they tend to be malignant and capable of metastasizing to other organs.
Skin tumors, both benign and malignant, are common in dogs. A tumor is actually a new mass of tissue that serves no purpose. However, cancerous tumors are capable of spreading to other parts of the body. Sometimes changes occur in the genetic structure (mutations) of the genes that control cell growth (the process of multiplication by division). This leads to the formation of tumors. These changes are very rare and silent, meaning that they do not interfere in the cell's ability to function. But in certain cases, the tumor suppression genes are disabled or the oncogenes (genes that change normal cells to cancerous cells) are activated.
The risk factors for melanoma in dogs are not well defined. In humans, excessive exposure to the sun is often specified as the cause of melanomas, but most dog breeds are adequately protected by their coat. However, skin injuries or constant trauma due to excessive scratching or licking causes skin cells to divide and multiply frequently. As changes in genetic structures are due to cell division, the most common cancers occur in cells that depend upon multiplication to be able to function properly.
The hereditary component in the development of cancer is important in the development and progress of melanoma in dogs. An inherited mutation that is responsible for cell division can increase the risk of cancer. The genes responsible for hereditary melanoma in humans and mice have been identified. However, certain dog breeds are more prone to this type of cancer and the issue may run in families, too.
To date, neither the causes of cancer have been established nor are metastatic cancers satisfactorily treatable. Cancer is still the most common cause of death in dogs. However, a healthy dog has reliable built-in abilities to destroy abnormal cells. This means that for cancer to get a foothold, a malignant cell must either bypass these or eliminate them. The best strategy to avoid dog cancer, including melanoma, is thus to boost in-built safeguards and strengthen the immune system.

Attach a Raspberry Pi computer to a plastic 'dish' with a full-sized breadboard.
This product was designed carefully to make it as easy as possible to attach and detach the Pi. Since the Pi computer does not have any mounting holes, this product use these nifty plastic edge 'grabbers' - they are incredibly strong but will not damage the Pi circuit board. There are two ways to mount the Pi on to the plate - one if you want to use the HDMI output primarily and one if you plane to use the composite output (they're on opposite sides of the board so its not possible to have both easily accessable). Next to the Pi is a spot for a full sized breadboard, plenty of space for your project even if you're using an Adafruit Cobbler breakout helper. We also include 4 rubber bumpers to attach to the bottom.

LINCOLN — Most nights, Janis Leitis said he goes to sleep thinking about the long jump. About the steps down the runway, pounding off the board with great speed and throwing himself into the pit. Preferably more than 26 feet.
"Everything I see is long jump," Leitis says.
So naturally, when Leitis couldn't long jump after hurting his groin before the 2012 European Championships, his dreams of qualifying for the London Olympics seemed dead.
But Leitis could still run the 400 meters. And for a guy who doesn't think much of running it, boy, can he. Good enough to actually qualify for the Olympics and represent his home country of Latvia. Good enough that he's ranked fourth in the nation — first in the Big Ten Conference — after running it last week for the first time this season.
"In the long run, it may very well be his best event," Husker track and field coach Gary Pepin said.
But it's the not event that Leitis loves most. That's the long jump. Leitis is tops in the Big Ten and third in the nation in that event. He hopes to beat the competition again this weekend at the Frank Sevigne Invitational, a two-day meet at the Bob Devaney Sports Center that will attract some of the nation's best teams, including defending national champion Florida.
The Gators have the nation's No. 4-ranked long jumper in Marquis Dendy. At No. 2 is Missouri's Malcolm Pennix, who should also compete this weekend. At No. 5 is fellow Husker Patrick Raedler.
All four are clustered between 25 feet, 2 inches and 25 feet, 6� inches. Leitis knows that the best high jumpers routinely cross the 26 foot barrier. Last year, Great Britain's Greg Rutherford won the Olympics with a leap of roughly 27 feet, 3 inches. Getting into the Olympic final required just millimeters short of 26 feet.
To reach the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Leitis has to leave the board with more speed, Pepin said. He has to train more like a sprinter. More like the guy who runs the 400 so well. And of course, Pepin said, Leitis could simply improve so much at the 400 that it becomes his top event.
Leitis isn't quite so sure. When he's finished running a 400-meter race, he said, he's often so tired that he lays flat on his back, drinks water and talks to no one for a half-hour. That happened at the Euro Championships last year.
"Three or four people asked me if I needed an ambulance," Leitis said. He did not, but the event drains him. That's why he won't even run it at the Big Ten Championships. At the 2012 Olympics, Leitis finished fifth in his initial heat and didn't qualify for the semifinals. For as good of an experience as it was — seeing the Team USA basketball star LeBron James in the cafeteria, for example — Leitis wasn't fulfilled.
"You're going to the Olympics in the 400 and you don't have any ambition there," Leitis said. "You don't know anything. It kinda messed me up. I went there with no expectations — just to compete. And that's not how an athlete has to go to the Olympics. In the 400 meters, I never had this dream."
He has it in the long jump, an event Pepin personally coaches and Nebraska traditionally excels in. As a senior who completed his bachelor's degree in Latvia and came to NU for one year because his girlfriend, Mara Griva, is a long jumper and triple jumper for the Huskers, Leitis said he's been "helped by everyone" in a short time.
Leitis has helped the overall strength of the NU men's team, too.
"I would have loved to have him four years ago," Pepin said. "But I'm happy to have him for one semester versus not at all. He's a tremendous asset."

One of the highlights of the current special exhibition at the BMW Museum in Munich is "Lady Sunshine" one of German globetrotter Doris Wiedemann's motorcycles.
Motorcyclists are considered to be individualists – during her extreme tours Doris Wiedemann in fact often solely depends on herself.
For more than 20 years the economist, photographer, journalist and travel author has explored faraway countries and foreign cultures and covered several hundred thousands of kilometers on five continents.
Her 40.000 kilometer long journey through Russia to North- and South-Korea, Japan and all the way back across Russia was also done with a BMW R100GS/PD. Also spectacular was her next coup, traveling alone and without the compulsory guide a total of six months in China.
The special exhibition in the basement of the BMW Museum in Munich displays numerous souvenirs from faraway countries, pictures and the travel literature of Doris. Her books are available at the museum shop or as signed copies from the author herself at www.doris-wiedemann.com
BMW Museum, Am Olympiapark 2, 80809 Munich, Germany. Opening hours Tuesday - Sunday and public holidays 10 am - 6 pm, www.bmw-welt.de

I live 20 miles east of San Francisco in a very small town. I run a bootcamp in my town and have had success with it. What amazes me is that most of the food choices in my town are less than healthy.
Let's start with Trader Joes, ok so yes it's better than a huge supermarket but it is by no means a super healthy choice. Then there's Chipotle, ok, well I guess that's better than the Taco Bell across the street. Next we have Jamba Juice, do people really believe that JJ is healthy? do they look at the sugar content? Moving on we have Yogurtland, across the street from Yummygurt. Yogurtland charges by how many ounces you yourself pour, in addition to the "toppings" you choose. Does anyone look at the sugar content? Then we have Five Guys hamburger/fries next to a Red Onion, hamburger and fries....NOW we are getting a KrispyKreme Donut shop across the street, you guessed it, from a donut shop. In addition, we have "the ice cream truck" plowing through our community, stopping at our local schools waiting to pounce on the kids once school gets out.
Yet study after study shows the link between Sugar and Obesity....
It amazes me that I live so close to one of the most educated, sophisticated city in the world, yet I live in a town that let's in whomever signs a lease!
When I ask clients to incorporate just a bit more exercise into their day, I often hear one of these: "I don't have time to do that" or "Are you kidding me? I can hardly get out of the door on time" or, "get up 20 minutes earlier to walk? are you nuts"? "I'm too busy to do that". "It's too cold and rainy"...
Ok so you get my point
The bigger picture here is that until a health habit is formed, it can sound overwhelming. Once the benefit of just a 20 minute walk kicks in, it's much for doable. I think writing out a plan everyday and looking at how many minutes are wasted in a day is eye opening.
I also think that most people will realize that the world won't end because they have taken a 20 minute walk, and that it truly is ok to step outside and do something everyday to increase longevity.
I hate having my teeth worked on, I even cringe when I have to sit for a cleaning.
Mind you I have great teeth, I take really good care of them, I don't like it but I do it.
So, yesterday as I was walking up to my dentist's door, I noticed that I was really tense, I was really dreading the upcoming hour. Then I had an Oprah moment, I realized that this must be how my clients feel when they know I'm coming!
I love to workout (well...I have to workout) granted there are days when I have to really convince myself to get moving, but really I do love to exercise, actually I love the RESULTS from my daily exercise.
So, back to the dentist. In order to preserve my teeth ( albiet my 84 yr old dad has all of his), I must do regular maintanence. DUH.
It's like working out. It takes a while to "get it" but once you do, you do.
I constantly hear "I really didn't want to do this today but am so glad I did" or, "I really DID NOT want to come to bootcamp tonight but am feeling so much better now"..
Exercise is the same as anything else.
Gotta do it.
For most people making exercise a top of the list priority is not realistic. The thought of actually "having to workout" every day (even for 30 minutes) seems daunting. I have written about this in a previous blog and have posted a blog on Jills List about "not having time".
Today I had another Oprah ahah moment. I realized it's not that people don't have time to exercise, they haven't had time to reap the benefits that exercise provides. Of course, it's so logical (as I hit my head on the wall), yes, that's what it is, they just haven't gotten to the wonders of exercise.
Is it because life has become so chaotic and complicated ~Is it because the strangeness of time doesn't allow us to do one more thing? or is it because of how we see time, how we see our days, how we plan our days, how we waste so many moments during our day that we simply can't add exercise to it. Or is it that as comfort creatures we don't want to "rock the boat", we don't want to join a gym or a walking group or take a fitness class, we just don't have time
But we do have time, all of us have the same amount of hours in a day. Why do some choose to workout/exercise daily, why do others decide three times a week is suffice, why do some take Sundays off!. why do others decide that going to the dentist and grocery shopping is more important than a workout?
Why can't exercise be the main goal, the main thing in our day (preferably in the morning), and then enjoy how everything else falls into place
There is time to exercise: it just needs to be found.
I love that, "I go to the gym"
What does that mean?
Do you go to the gym and talk with your friends? Do you go to the gym and walk on a treadmil?
Do you go to the gym and not have any idea what to do?
Do you spend more time getting to the gym than exercising at the gym?
Do you go to the gym and get bored?
Do you go to the gym and sit on the weight bench?
This is why so many people are surprised when they do our bootcamp or personal training.
Most people really do not know how to workout, they don't know what it takes to get fit
I'm not blaming them, I'm making a clear observation. Time and time again I hear, "But I thought I was kind of fit cause I go to the gym".
Going to a gym is great, what you do at the gym is another story!
It may sound cliche', The I Can Do attitude but I believe it.
My clients prove it to me over and over again. As a Health Coach I have seen all of my clients achieve thier goals, yes, you read that right, 100% of my Health Coaching clients have succeeded.
Now what about my bootcampers...well, I have thought long and hard about that. Physical exercise, the act of actually doing something that requires physical work is actually harder than setting wellness goals. I think the reason is because humans will only work so hard then they stop.
Bootcamp is different than any other type of exercise. It's not a program that "coddles", it's not a program that "gives in" , instead it's a workout that make you dig deep, it makes you challenge yourself in ways you have never had to look at. It makes you stronger or weaker, which ever one you choose. That's the point, it's up to you to decide how much you want to get out of it.
So what about a dog tag? Why does that motivate? For 3 years we have had bootcamp without the "incentive" of a "prize". We finally decided to add dog tags as a reward for perfect attendance and guess what? attendance was amazing. For a dog tag? No, for the sense of achievement ,for acknowledgement, for being at every bootcamp and working hard, for doing our workouts and not complaining, for embracing the workout instead of being annoyed with it!
Whatever you choose to do, do it with all you've got. If you don't have the feeling of accomplishment and you're not feeling it, find something else!
I love fava beans so I baught a huge bag of them at my farmers market last week.
If you have ever pealed a fava bean you know it's a time consuming two step, rather tedius process.First the outer pod layer then the inner shiny shell. It takes longer to get to the actual bean than it does to saute and eat them.
As I was pealing them, I started equating it to exercise. Implementing and or starting an exercise program can be daunting, it can be frustrating, it can be time consuming and tedius yet once the rewards come along it's so worth it's while.
Anything that takes time and has a reward in the end is worth doing.
Eating well takes time but it's worth doing.
We need more fava beans please.
The definition of food according to Wickipedia is:
Any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink, or that plants absorb, in order to maintain life and growth.
Nourishment is becoming harder and harder to find, or is it? Is it "harder" to purchase fresh veggies and cut them up, roast,steam or sautee' them then to open up a box and put it into the microwave?
Is it "easier" to go to Starbucks for a Tall frappichino, extra whip, mocha drizzle, than to brew a pot of coffee at home and add a tablespoon of milk to it?
Is it "hard" to track your food before consuming it? Or is it "harder" to hear your doctor tell you that you are diabetic and have high blood pressure.
Is it "hard" to learn portion control, plan your meals, carry a cooler in your car with your food and be prepared for every meal? I mean you are going to eat right? so why not eat well?
Is it "hard" to not eat fast food? Or does it take you just as long, start to finish to fill a container of fabulous food and eat it when you are hungry.
Is all of this really "hard" or is it just a differerent way of fueling your body? Is it hard or do you just not want to do it?
I was at O'Hare waiting for my flight and what an amazing place to people watch.
The odor in the air was familiar but not imediately recognized until I saw the line for McDonalds.
Of course there would be a McDonalds in the United terminal.
As I stood waiting for my flight, my eyes went to a very young mom with a very small baby in a very large stroller. The mom was looking at her baby while eating her french fries and talking on her cell phone. The baby began to fuss so the mom stopped eating her french fries and with ONE hand was able to prepare the bottle for her child, all the while holding onto her iPhone. Once she propped the bottle up for the baby she got onto her Facebook account, checked in, continued eating her fries and bites of her hamburger never once looking at either.
It got me thinking about mindlessness, or mindfulness.
Do we ever stop and eat and ponder and feel full or do we just fill up because it's there.
I think it's so funny when my clients want to keep me a secret. Of course I respect that and I don't tell others who I train, but to me it's contradictory.
I am hired to provide a wonderful health service, one that will hopefully enhance my clients well being.
I guess it's the stigma attached or the "I didn't know you had so much disposable income that you can hire a trainer" attitude, when in reality, I think Health is THE MOST IMPORTANT EXPENSE AFTER PAYING YOUR MORTGAGE!
I feel that as a personal trainer and soon to be a certified Health Coach, we need to be embraced by society,not hidden, but at the same time, it's ok...I guess....to keep it a secret
