Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."- St. John Paul II
PLEASE RESPOND. Pretty pleeeease?

Honolulu, HI (Sports Network) - Mike Fitzgerald scored a game-high 25 points as the Air Force Falcons held off the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, 69-65, in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Fitzgerald made 6-of-10 shots from beyond the arc and also collected nine rebounds for Air Force (18-13). Kyle Green added 18 points and six assists.
Isaac Fotu had 24 points and nine rebounds off the bench and Christian Standhardinger tallied 16 points and eight boards for Hawaii (17-15).
Air Force cam out firing and ran out to a 23-10 lead midway through the first half. Hawaii would stage a comeback and ended up leading 34-31 at the break with a 24-8 run to close out the period. Hawaii shot 51.9 percent from the field in the contest but Air Force netted 8-of-18 shots from beyond the arc.
After the break the Falcons continued to have success from long range as they hit 7-of-13 shots from 3-point distance. Hawaii managed to register just eight field goals but was within reach in the final minute. After Hauns Brereton sank a pair of free-throws to pull the Rainbow Warriors within two points Garrett Jefferson collected a steal with 33 seconds left. Brereton got a shot from 3-point range off on the ensuing possession but it was off the mark after which Fitzgerald sealed the contest with a pair of free-throws.
Hawaii managed a 36-32 edge on the boards in the loss. Air Force nailed 15 shots from beyond the arc to just five from the Rainbow Warriors.

Ex-sparring partner of Ricky Hatton to fight as a woman after sex change
Here's a conundrum: boxer Rob Newbiggin, a former sparring partner of Ricky Hatton's, is preparing for a sex change, and will fight as a woman when it is over.
The 44-year-old Southport resident will soon become "Mercedes," he told The Sun.
Newbiggin, who has boxed for 20 years, now hopes to fight in the female ranks. Newbiggin has the physical characteristics of a man, but was born with high levels of estrogen that make his gender identity less than clear.
"My dad said that I had to act like a man because people wouldn't accept me as anything else, so I started boxing at the YMCA at about the age of 12.
"He was trying to protect me. I didn't find out I was adopted until I was 16 and then about how I was born, but then it all starting making sense to me."
In addition to boxing, Newbiggin aims work as a model after the transformation is complete. Whatever next ?

David Stern rips union lawyer for remark
Commissioner David Stern says union attorney Jeffrey Kessler is largely to blame for the NBA's stalled labor talks after Kessler told The Washington Post that the owners are treating the players "like plantation workers."
"Instead of treating the players like partners, they're treating them like plantation workers.
" -- Union attorney Jeffrey Kessler
Kessler, who also represented the NFL Players Association in their collective bargaining negotiations this summer, told The Post on Monday that the owners' latest offer to essentially split basketball-related income in half was not fair to the players. Stern said Sunday night that players had until the close of business Wednesday to accept the offer, or face a far stricter version.
"To present that in the context of 'take it or leave it,' in our view, that is not good faith," Kessler told the paper on Monday night before the union announced Tuesday it would not accept Stern's offer. "Instead of treating the players like partners, they're treating them like plantation workers."
Stern, in a phone call with The Post on Tuesday, called the labor situation "dire" and placed blame squarely on Kessler's shoulders.
"Kessler's agenda is always to inflame and not to make a deal," Stern told the paper, "even if it means injecting race and thereby insulting his own clients. ... He has been the single most divisive force in our negotiations and it doesn't surprise me he would rant and not talk about specifics. Kessler's conduct is routinely despicable."
NBA Lockout
The NBA lockout began on July 1, but a tentative agreement has been reached to save the season. ESPN.com Topics keeps you up to date with all of the latest on the NBA's labor situation. Topics Page »
A union source told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher on Tuesday that the NBPA does not condone what Kessler said and that Kessler will be reprimanded for bringing racial rhetoric into the negotiations.
Sources tell ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard that union executive director Billy Hunter has been adamant about keeping race out of negotiations. The union purposefully steered clear of recent remarks by HBO's Bryant Gumbel in which he first compared Stern to a plantation owner.
Hall of Famer Magic Johnson, who does not have an official role in the negotiations, condemned Kessler's remarks, saying it's "ridiculous" to suggest that Stern is racist and that it's OK to disagree with him but that you "can't attack the man and what he stands for."
The NBA "has more minorities in powerful positions than any other league," Johnson said.
The union said Tuesday it could not agree to Stern's "ultimatum" offer, but would ask for another meeting with owners before Stern's Wednesday afternoon deadline in an attempt to end the lockout and save the season.
In an interview on NBA TV on Tuesday, Stern said that whether he agrees to meet "would be guided by the labor relations committee."
The league's current labor proposal calls for players to receive between 49 percent and 51 percent of basketball-related income, but Kessler said Sunday night the proposal was really 50.2 percent for the players and called the chance of them ever reaching 51 percent a "fraud" and an "illusion."

The Antoinettes
I have been chitchatting back and forth with a good friend, who is also a doll and Marie Antoinette afficionado, like me. He has more knowledge of the era than I do, and I was wanting some costume ideas for the rats. I have had a good time making the big haired girls, and wanted to make some with a slightly different dress, maybe a bit more full, but the proportions are difficult. The rats are only 5-1/2 inches tall, and getting all that dress on those little sausage bodies, which lack either hips or bust, is a bit of a challenge, to say the least.
In any case, I worked on it for a few days. It's not exactly what you would see in that era, but it is coming closer. The problem with this scale is, adding fabric adds bulk. Then you get something that looks unnatural in terms of drape and just how it all sits.
I made 2 ratty girls, Celeste and Celine. They both are made of the loveliest Schulte mohair that came to me already a pale pink, so I didn't have to fuss with coloring it.
I gave them both high headed up-do's, made from a really soft artist yarn. The yarn itself has interwoven beads and lace. I dyed the hair for Celine a pale pink and left the hair for Celeste white. Doing the hair is a bit of work, because it requires making a base for the hair to wrap around. I used soft wool and felted it.
The dresses are both made of hand-dyed silk charmeuse, that has been laundered, so it is soft and has a muted sheen. There are loads and loads of ruffles.
The sleeves are off the shoulders and the neckline is quite square. That was a new thing for me to try, as I wasn't exactly sure how to attach the sleeves, but I got it worked out.
I gave a final underlayer of white tulle. I wanted the dresses to be poofy. I think that made them enough so, without making the dolls tip over.
All in all, this little project took me a ton of work. I am pleased with the results, and I think it was worth it, but was surprised how much time I could spend figuring out each little thing. I hope everyone is staying warm! It is below zero (F) here today, and I will not even step a toe outside. Brrr! Have a great week and stay creative!

What To Do About Elephants
A client asked me recently if I made elephants. I have been busy making little animal dolls as part of my own line of tiny stuffed dolls since November. Rats are my true love, stuffed animal-wise. I really am that odd :) But, actually I have come up with quite a menagerie. I have also made a pair of foxes, a cat, some bears and mice.
Can I make elephants? I wasn't really sure. I started one over the week of Christmas, but didn't like how the trunk came out. Obviously, on an elephant, the trunk is pretty important.
I did a switcheroo with the trunk I had made, and well, that was really all that was necessary. I liked what I had made. That's always a good thing. This little girl is called Teena. She is the same size, body-wise, as the other tinies, so will wear the same clothes.
Since those bodies are not super fat, I gave her kind of a circus dress and bloomers to fill out her look a bit. She has a blue and white striped neck ruff to fill her out even further.
She is made from a lovely cream distressed German mohair. Her limbs and inner ears are a cream and Christmas red polka dot print. Very holiday-esque, but also keeping with the circus type thing that I think of when I think of stuffed elephants.
Okay, so now I make elephants, too :) I really like her. The rats are not overwhelmed by her, because other than her trunk and inner ears, she is just their size. By the way, the bigger elephant and some of the pillows in the photos are from Paula of SweetRedCottage. She makes charming stuffies in a larger size, perfect for cuddling.

Marie Antoinette and Rose Bertin
Over the weekend I have been chit chatting back and forth with a longtime friend. One of my first doll friends, actually. He has a love of Marie Antoinette and all things late 18th C, probably more than I even. He has recently put together a lovely shabby 18th Century doll box and needed some rats. I had a few in mind. Why not Marie Antoinette and her dressmaker/milliner Rose Bertin? I have been on a Marie Antoinette tear lately, which surfaces every once in awhile. I haven't made her as a rat yet. My friend likes symmetry. 2 is better than 1. I decided to make the Queen and her friend.
For Marie I used the very nicest off-white Schulte mohair. It is soft like a bunny and just lovely. I figured Marie would be the less shabby of the 2 rat girls. For her hair, I had some really lush yarn. I think it is silk. It is a bit puffy, spun-like, and has pearls and lace and ribbons woven in. I gave her a fantastic up-do. A bit of a rat's nest, but, well, that seems a good choice.
Her dress is a lovely silk/rayon satin that I dyed and laundered to give it a very soft, pale blue, ethereal feel. I had done a cloth doll Marie for this same friend years ago. Her dress was a light blue as well, though I think slightly icier. This color is nice. It has a bit of chiffon trim and decorative thread edgings. With her white fur and hair, I think she looks lovely.
I wanted Rose Bertin to be a fine lady, but not quite as pristine as Marie. I used the same yarn for her hair, but dyed it up a shabbier tone. It is more gray-blue-beige. Her fur is a Schulte distressed natural cream mohair. It is a bit shabbier, not as lush, but still very lovely.
Her dress is 4 different silk fabrics, all in sort of a fawn shade. The rats are funny, because they are very short, and all that skirt makes them seem even shorter.
Trying to translate the big gowns of that time into such a small scale, and on rats no less, is a bit of a challenge, but I like how they turned out.
Not sure which girl I love better. I am super pleased with them both. Sometimes when I am in a crazy mood, I just have to do something different. The hair is a new thing. I like it.
Even the back of the heads looks good. I am so, so glad we don't have to wear our hair in these sort of rat's nest these days. I tend a woodstove all day. I would be up in smoke in a second. But, I like the romance of it. Hope you are having a lovely, creative, fun-filled holiday season. XOXO Cindy

It's the furor that will not die — and, in an election year, one that may end up having more lives than anybody's cat.
On Monday, while discussing a variety of issues before the Shelby County Commission, but two in particular — one, a resolution to approve a roofing contract and a second, to authorize the sale of some county-owned tax-delinquent property — Commissioner Henri Brooks ignited a controversy involving relations between whites, blacks, and Hispanics in Shelby County.
And she reignited a long-simmering controversy over her own behavior — one that has potential implications for her political future, both on the Commission and in her ongoing race as Democratic nominee for Juvenile Court Clerk on the August ballot.
Most public reaction to Brooks since Monday's Commission meeting has focused on her remarks about the status of Hispanics vis-a-vis African Americans — in which she strongly rebuked a representative of the former ethnicity for presuming to compare the lot of the local Hispanic minority to that of the county's black population.
But there was more to it than that. She also made an impromptu reference to Commissioner Chris Thomas that implied he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and she all but cursed out Commissioner Mike Ritz for attempting to bring Monday's meeting, which had reached a chaotic impasse, to an end.
To recap the actions of the volatile Commissioner in reverse order:
• The last item on Monday's agenda — regarding the sale of a tax-delinquent North Memphis rental property to a trust company — had technically been concluded, but a woman, Dorothy Townsel, involved in the ad-hoc management of the facility by a community-based non-profit organization and whose request to speak before the approving vote had been overlooked by Chairman James Harvey, made an ex-post-facto plea that was hysterical, eloquent, and compelling all at once.
As the stunned members of the Commission who remained (others had left the room after the vote) tried to figure out how to react in the apparent absence of a quorum, Ritz, who had belonged to the majority that voted to approve the sale, attempted to wrap things up by invoking a proviso of Roberts' Rules of Order.
"Can I call for the Order of the Day, Mr. Chairman?" Ritz said to a more than usually confused Chairman James Harvey.
And, before Harvey could reply, Brooks, who had been deploring the "horrible" treatment of Townsel, typical as she saw it of the Commission's "disrespect" toward blacks, interjected: "Ain't nobody asked you what the…" a conspicuous silence, clearly representing an unvoiced but familiar expletive "...you called for!" said Brooks, who then resumed her discourse..
• Earlier in the day's debate, Brooks had broken off some remarks to respond to what she thought had been a sotto voce remark, on the other side of the boomerang-shaped Commission table, made by Commissioner Thomas.
"Excuse me, uh, you over there mouthing something?" Brooks said, turning in Thomas' direction. "You with the sheet on!" she added, repeating "you with the sheet on" as Harvey tried to interrupt and maintain order.
For comparison's sake, here is an excerpt from a Brooks response to then Commission chairman Ritz from spring of last year, in the middle of a debate on residency requirements for county employees:
"....I have sat here time and time again — and I think today is the last day that I will be able to do this — and received a number of innuendos that were very close to the line of disrespect and several times it has come from the Chairman….[W]hen you make those kinds of disrespectful remarks directed at me, it makes you look like those people that the Memphis Police Department had to put in a bus and bring on Court Street so that they could sound off."
This was two days after an organized protest on Court Street by members of the Ku Klux Klan outraged over the city's renaming of what had been Forrest Park, formerly named in honor of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest.
• The portion of the Commission meeting that has attracted the most attention occurred during the determined resistance by Brooks and Commissioner Walter Bailey to the awarding of a roofing contract to a company whose work force was 76 percent Hispanic but contained few if any blacks.
Repeated objections by Brooks and Bailey to what they saw as the company's technical-only compliance with equal-opportunity employment mandates by hiring the Hispanics and not blacks, finally provoked a response from Pablo Pereya of the Hispanic Republic Alliance.
Pereya — who was in attendance to defend the interests, later on, of the trust company involved in the purchase of the tax-delinquent rental property — came to the Commission's witness table and made a stirring objection to what he regarded as a dismissive attitude toward Hispanics by the two complaining commissioners.
"I'm a little bit shell-shocked, to be honest with you said," he began. "I took an oath to protect that flag, domestic and overseas. And I'm reminded: who is here representing the Hispanic folks... Are we going to put up a sign saying, 'Hispanics need not apply?' I know what it's like to be in a minority. I can tell you, growing up Hispanic in Memphis is definitely a minority in the minority… Am I any less American? Am I any less minority?"
Brooks had an answer for that: "Your experience does not compare to mine. What you are experiencing as a minority probably has been blown out of proportion here," she said to Pereya, telling him that Hispanic deprivations could not compare to "a history where there is a pattern of intentional discrimination against black folk."
She continued, wagging a didactic finger Pereya's way: "You asked to come here. You asked to come here. We did not. And when we got here, our condition was so egregious, so barbaric. Don't ever let that come out of your mouth again, because — you know what? — that only hurts your case. Don't compare the two. They're not comparable."
More than the unstated — but tacitly understood — obscenity directed at Ritz, more than the implications that her Commission adversaries are as one with the Klan, more than several other acidly tinged utterances, more than a sporadically imperious manner, it was Brooks' rejoinder to Pereya that got the most press.
But, as those who follow the Commission regularly know, Brooks — who can be charm itself when she wants to be — is frequently at odds with other members of the Commission and with employees of county government against whom she harbors either a personal or an ideological grievance.
Frequent targets of her wrath in the past have been Bob Nations, director of the county's Emergency Management Agency, and Dottie Jones, county Community Services director.
Brooks' fellow commissioners have generally given her a wide berth, either out of courtesy or from a disinclination to get in the trenches with her verbally.
Though many — of both parties and both races — grumble about her actions privately, including her refusal to intone the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag that begins all Commission meetings, they have historically been reluctant to go public with criticism.
Increasingly, that reluctance is disappearing. Former Commissioner Wyatt Bunker once publicly accused her of racist behavior, and Thomas's statements have moved in that direction of late.
Ritz, who is term-limited and will leave the Commission after this year's change-of-the-guard elections, speaks openly of his concerns about Brooks.
"A pattern of our concern is her lack of civility generally," said Ritz, who termed Brooks "uncivil to other commissioners, to people who work for the mayor and other elected officials, to officials at large, especially those of Juvenile Court, and from time to time with citizens."
Brooks makes it obvious that she regards herself as a principal spokesperson for the county's African-American population, but Ritz is dismissive. "That's a self-image. I don't think that's what any of the Commissioners, black or white, think. None of us think she, with her level of conversation, or her language, reflects the black community of Memphis."
If Brooks seems to have stepped up her outspokenness of late, said Ritz, "That has everything to do with free publicity, with getting her name out front for the election."
Ritz gives Brooks credit for making good votes on public education, on matters regarding the sales tax, on ethics ordinances, and, "of course," on Juvenile Court, where her criticism eventually led to a Department of Justice investigation and the DOJ-mandated reforms in the Court, which Ritz, too, supports.
"She's been all right with her votes, many of them, but not with her leadership. She's counter-productive that way, and she has very few allies."
Whatever else happens on the County Commission between now and then, or in the court of public opinion, August 7 — general election day for county offices — will be an ultimate test of how many allies are owned by Brooks, who is opposed by incumbent Republican Juvenile Court Clerk Joy Touliatos.

Henri Brooks is a jackass. No doubt about that. Her treatment of the others in office, employees of the city, county, and state, is disgusting. She is a racist thru and thru.
Jackass is too mild a word. Henri Brooks is Memphis' answer to Donald Sterling, and she should be shunned as a pariah, just as he (finally) is...
She needs to step down. This is unacceptable and she has no business working for the county with that way of thinking.
Amen friend, she should certainly be sanctioned for such a display. If her actions cause the county to be sued I would bet the plaintiffs will be awarded the amount of the contract and more. How is that taking care of the tax payers??
When some guy wearing a sheet accidentally sets fire to the theater with his torch, one should still pay heed when the asshole shouts Fire!
I hate to say it but she is out of line. Why, because her feelings are of a personal nature and therefore should stay that way. The thing is that I am sure there are requirements that companies have to meet in order to bid. I don't believe one of those requirements mandate that you hire African Americans or any other group. If the company meet said requirements that's it, take the vote and move on. Now let's look at it from a cultural perspective. Hispanics or people of Mexican descent are doing a lot of roofing jobs here in Memphis. You see it everywhere. She is definitely out of the loop as far as what is going on in Memphis. As a representative she represents a community - a community that consist of many different races. And all I can say to that is get used to it.
It would be interesting to know whether a majority of Ms. Brooks' constituents are as offended by her remarks as are liberal white readers of The Memphis Flyer. I daresay a majority are not, else she wouldn't behave that way or be sitting on the Commission. Which begs the question of whether boosting her career with outrage is an efficient expense of energy.
Well you get out of the burning building silly. Gee, c'mon you know this.
As for Brooks' harangue, and as referenced by Mr Bailey and many others, the issue is "...technical-only compliance with equal-opportunity employment mandates by hiring the Hispanics and not blacks."
Like it or not, these mandates were won by and for native born African Americans, to address historic and contemporary needs in this community. Not for impoverished immigrant Sicilians, Chinese, Finns, Somalis or even native Caucasians.
The issue if raised by sane folk like Mr Bailey, would be ignored.
Sorta like a technical virgin? Really? So your take on this is:
Those Mexicans are just a bunch of racist.
Is that what you mean to say?
Why not just say that?
The thing that Henri needs to accept is that Latinos are now the 2nd largest ethnic group, thus the largest minority in the US. She can't see outside her district, but they have passed blacks and are growing every day.
So, she needs to look in the mirror and come to terms with the facts. It's going to be tough for her to swallow. The alternative is for her to continue to be the black female Donald Stirling.
I applaud the community for the outrage over her remarks. They are despicable and come from an unapologetic, pathetic, despicable, deplorable and malicious racist. I'm glad Henri is being shamed so much over this.
Why isn't this in the national news. What an awful thing to say.
She embarrasses herself and our community, she disrespects her office and her fellow commissioners, and she does a disservice to her constituents. She hit the trifecta.
What Donald Sterling said was atrocious.... What Henri Brooks said was equally stupid, and racist. I see this morning, that the Rainbow Push Coalition is coming to her defense. Why did they not come to Donald Sterling's defense? If they are going to argue free speech and open discussion, then the forum in which she made her statements is much worse than his...
Search your soul, and you will find that both uttered hate speech.. period.
My guess is that her anti-white and anti-hispanic words are a reflection of her voting base and that she will be re-elected by an even wider margin.
NOW you ask if this piece of s#!t has crossed the line? Do you not remember anything about her time in state government?
The happiest person concerning this incident is Joy Touliatos who will now likely coast to a second term as Juvenile Court Clerk. Ms. Brooks may have actually said a few valid things. African Americans have had a worse deal than Hispanics in many respects. However, her confrontational and divisive tone and delivery has made her less effective in conveying that message. Henri sounds like someone from Stokley Carmichael and H. Rap Brown era and the Commission will be better off without her.
Will be interesting to see if she is "Kryptonite" to others on the Dem ticket. Would like to hear what Joe Brown (the boss of the Democrats) and Deidre Malone have to say about this dustup.
Brooks would have a point if there was a complaint that the bidding company refused to hire black applicants. However, that has not happened. They cannot hire those who do not apply for the job; therefore they are technically compliant!
The reference to the methods of Stokley Carmichael and H. Rap Brown is important since those of us old enough to remember, know that without radical or even nutty voices raised, scaring the moderates and liberals into action, what progress there was would have been much slower.
The broader issue is not whether there are blacks willing to do hard work or how this ethic may have evolved, but that the introduction of immigrant labor, whether in the 1880's or 1980's, reduces the wage for natives. I think we can all agree on supply and demand.
I always thought Brooks LIVED on the other side of the line, so it's hard for her to cross the line when she's perpetually there.
If one cannot keep one's private feelings and emotions out of public ear/eyeshot, then one should not hold public office. Period. Very unprofessional, insulting, and blatantly racist and divisive. But, as previously noted, this isn't the first unrational outburst from Ms. Brooks, and won't be the last. And yes, this type of thing will certainly find favor with those of her constituents who are uneducated and inexperienced (and therefore ignorant) in the realm of what is proper protocol in this type of situation.
I might also suggest a short course of study of the actual historical plight of Hispanics, especially that of their native ancestors who weren't brought here, but were already here, and were subsequently wiped out and/or enslaved, and who are, to this day, still having their land stolen from them and their way of life destroyed. It is to weep.

After fighting weight gain throughout her life, Tonya Garner realized that what she needed was a dance party. She salsa'd her way into Zumba's cardio-dance routines, and after six months she had shuffled off 40 pounds. Now, at 45 years old and nearly 105 pounds lighter than when she started, the licensed Zumba instructor choreographs similar transformations for her clients. Not to be outdone, big sister Shonnie soon seized the chance to work her own groove as a licensed Zumba instructor. Now together, the sister-duo helps guides others along on their weight-loss journey.
Fueled by rhythmic music from around the world, one-hour workouts melt off calories with low-impact choreography inspired by salsas and tangos. Heart rates rise as arms wave and hips swivel, helping students of all fitness levels boost endurance and energy. Instead of spawning cutthroat beatboxing tournaments, a supportive atmosphere kindles friendships among participants and a sense of community within each class. Alternatively, Tonya uses her licensed Bokwa instruction to teach cardio-packed Bokwa classes which are designed for all ages and dancing skill levels, and challenge participants to use their feet to trace numbers and letters in energizing workouts.
Jazzercise is 60 minutes of cardio, strength training, and stretching that incorporates moves from hip-hop, yoga, Pilates, jazz dance, kickboxing, and resistance training with handheld weights.

Exercise is challenging, and people frequently give up on their fitness routines. How do you keep clients motivated?
CrossFit incorporates movements found in everyday life at high intensity. That intensity is relative to each participant. Our workouts change daily, so you will never get bored with one routine. This is fitness for everybody.
Do you believe in the maxim, "No pain, no gain?? Why or why not?
To an extent. You should be working out at a level that is outside your comfort zone to see maximum results. However, we never want you to push so hard that you are in actual physical pain during or after exercise.
Do you run your gym according to a particular exercise philosophy?
Yes, we provide fitness regimens that help participants of every age, fitness level, and body type achieve success. We believe in creating a memorable, positive, and fun experience by being an intimidation-free gym.
Urban Tactical Defense Center's diverse team of trainers includes lifelong martial artists, former military personnel, and current police officers. Within the 8,000-square-foot facility—with two sparring rooms and a gym—these trainers pass on the self-defense and fitness techniques they acquired during their demanding careers to students of all ages, covering everything from defense tactics to proper firearms training. They rely on myriad approaches to boost health and self-confidence levels, imparting combat techniques during martial-arts and unarmed-combat classes; fending off calories in Combat Fitness Bootcamp courses; and bulking up entire bodies in circuit-training sessions. They even sprinkle meditation techniques from Chinese qi gong in some of their programs.
Alternatively, the staff leads youngsters through its own original MANTIS curriculum (Manage Any Nasty Trouble in School), acquainting them with tactics for dealing with bullies, teaching them self-defense moves, and hopefully giving them the strength to lift 12 action figures at once.
CrossFit coach Tim Padget doesn't want to waste your time at the gym. He believes that exercising should have a perceptible effect on a person's real life, enhancing their ability to push, pull, jump, and run. That's why he hosts CrossFit classes that?focus on functional, meaningful fitness. These classes combine weightlifting with cardio drills and even gymnastics to achieve an all-over workout that sculpts and tones the entire body. Each routine is scalable to any fitness level, so the gym welcomes beginners as well as those who can already bite a barbell in half. In fact, the coaches offer a free introductory session for first-timers.
CrossFit may be a popular strength and conditioning program at American police academies, but the program's constantly-changing workouts can just as effectively tone up civilians. And tone they do at Advance Performance Fitness, a 15,000-square-foot fitness center that often hosts 10 CrossFit classes per day. Aside from CrossFit routines, visitors with 24/7 access also lift in a sprawling free weight area, sweat it out on cardio machines, and visit the on-site medical wellness clinic to troubleshoot aches and pains. More than 40 group exercise classes are available per week, and personal trainers are on hand for one-on-one sessions; nutritional counseling and supervised weight-loss programs are also available, in addition to child care services. Advanced Performance Fitness is a Silver Sneakers affiliate.

BlackRock's pioneering retail hedge fund has grown to more than £2 billion in assets, and that's just fine with its management team.
The U.K. Absolute Alpha Fund debuted five years ago, believed to be the first major absolute return vehicle open to British retail investors. Since then, it's up 49.5%, topping the FTSE All-Share Index with just a quarter of the volatility.
And despite concerns that the fund has grown too large, Absolute Alpha's co-manager, Nick Osborne, said he isn't concerned.
"The size is something we think about an awful lot," he told the Financial Times. "But we feel very, very relaxed. We have a portfolio that is naturally diverse—especially within the short portfolio."
What's more, the fund is poised to grow even more: Osborne and his co-manager, Mark Lyttleton, are bullish on the British market and is between 15% and 20% net long, more than it has been in some time.

Well, I did it again - another new netbook/sub-laptop. I have a good reason this time, though, because several of my netbooks have gone to new homes recently, and another is likely to go in the near future.
Cameraphones are now the main way that consumers share photos, rather than by email, according to a survey of 2,000 British and American consumers by Futuresource Consulting. The results are frequently viewed on a laptop or netbook PC by UK consumers, though "consumers in the USA tend to use the desktop PC," the company says.
Have you ever considered how your website looks if the user has images turned off?I only ask because I have tethered my Android phone to my laptop using EasyTether (darned proprietary software but I couldn't get the Free stuff to work).
The upcoming MacBook Air -- Apple's netbook -- could be the most cost effective, efficient laptop for the busy academic lifestyle.

HP has released a new version of its Pavilion dm3 laptop that features a suite of hardware and software innovations designed to reduce one of notebook computing's biggest headaches: excessive heat.

A simple tale of burning palmsI've been rendering a few screencasts and watching a few progs on the ol' beeb's iPlayer, and things have been getting a bit hot under the hood of the laptop.

Continuing with its 25th anniversary of laptop sales, Toshiba has premiered the AC100 netbook - the company's first Android-based machine.

You often hear people talk about their last resort. But when did you ever hear someone mention their first resort? We think first resorts have been overlooked and shortchanged for much too long.
The next time you find yourself facing some of those unpleasant last resort choices in life - like writing that big check to the IRS or getting that root canal you've been putting off - counterbalance it with a truly worthwhile first resort.
First resorts are things you do just for you-a present you give to yourself. And to get you started thinking in a whole new way, here are five fabulous first resort suggestions: beach resorts, golf resorts, ski resorts, spa resorts, and Disney resorts.
Schedule a vacation for you and your family at a luxurious beach resort. Think of it as a essential part of balancing out some of life's unpleasant last resorts.
Pick a beach resort on the famous sugar sand beaches of Pensacola or Destin, Florida. Perhaps you prefer a spa resort on the Atlantic Ocean beaches of Hilton Head Island. Or maybe you want to really brighten your outlook with a palette of peach, pink, and minty green in an Art Deco-style Miami Beach resort, overlooking Biscayne Bay. You will have plenty of choices for delightful lodging including, hotels, guesthouses, and timeshare resorts.
If you're the type who prefers sand traps to sand dunes, enjoy both by making Myrtle Beach your first resort. Choose from hundreds of great golf courses and golf schools on-property or nearby to the many delightful golf resorts and golf timeshare resorts.
A timeshare vacation is, very simply, the way to go on holiday and enjoy more but spend less. Timeshares are more spacious than comparable hotels. Most two-bedroom timeshares easily lodge six to eight family members or friends. Plus, with timeshares, you have the convenience and cost-savings of a full kitchen. When you vacation in timeshare resales or timeshare rentals rather than traditional hotels, you keep more of your hard earned money right where you like it best-in your pocket.
Selecting timeshare resales or timeshare rentals is the perfect way to save money on your vacation plans, AND upgrade to more luxurious lodging. Best of all, booking a timeshare vacation is one of the easiest ways to travel and see the places of your dreams.
Large time share exchange companies like Interval International (II) and Resort Condominiums International (RCI) have made it simple to try ski resorts in Aspen one year and a ski lodge at St. Moritz or other Europe resorts the next.
Resort Condominiums International (RCI) and Interval International (II) are affiliated with thousands of ski resorts, golf resorts, Europe resorts, spa resorts, and beach resorts worldwide. Their members have the opportunity for timeshare resort trades in hundreds of exciting locations around the globe and the opportunity to take some of the sting out of life's last resorts, by savoring some truly incredibly first resorts.

State's utilities adding extra work crews ahead of Isaac
Published: August 28,2012
Tags: disaster prerparedness, disaster recovery, electricity, energy, hurricane, power, severe weather, storm, tropical weather, utility, Weather
ACROSS MISSISSIPPI — Mississippi utility companies have extra crews on hand for possible widespread outages from Isaac.
Entergy Mississippi spokeswoman Mara Hartmann tells the Clarion-Ledger the company has asked for 3,750 additional workers from outside the service territory to help restore service in Mississippi and southeastern Louisiana.
Entergy has more than 435,000 customers in 45 counties in Mississippi.
Hartmann didn't have a breakdown of how many of the additional workers will be in Mississippi. She said the bulk would likely be in Louisiana where the biggest impact from the storm is expected.
"Strong winds, rain and flooding could affect parts of our Mississippi territory and cause extensive power outages," Hartmann said.
Hartmann said Entergy employees from throughout Mississippi and other states the company serves and contract employees are relocating today from other areas of the company to be in position to respond to power outages caused by Isaac.
Mississippi Power Company has 186,000 customers in 23 mostly southeast Mississippi counties.
Spokesman Jay Shepard said the company's storm plan would be activated once they see the damage and the need. He said Mississippi Power workers would be shifted to the areas of the greatest need. He said they have requested additional line workers and tree trimmers.
In addition, Mississippi Power is part of a four-state association that includes Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Shepard said Florida now has a bunch of extra workers it won't need that can be shifted to Mississippi.
He also said Georgia Power had additional workers on standby but likely won't need them and they can be brought in to help restore service to Mississippi customers if needed.
Southern Pine Electric Power Association, which has more than 10,000 miles of line, also is monitoring Isaac. Dispatchers will be on duty and Southern Pine line crews will be on standby to respond to any outages that may occur, according to a company news release.
Atmos Energy, the state's largest natural gas supplier, is also monitoring Isaac.
"The safety of our customers, employees and communities is our number one priority. We are monitoring the storm and our crews are implementing the first phase of our emergency response plan as we prepare for the hurricane," said David Gates, Atmos Energy's president of the Mississippi division.
Gates said natural gas distribution pipelines are mostly underground, but can be damaged by uprooted trees and shifted foundations. In addition, fallen limbs and other debris can damage gas meters and associated piping near homes and buildings.

For more than 2,000 years, the Great Hungarian Plain (known as the Alföld in Hungarian) has been home to a rich cultural tradition of pastoral living and animal husbandry techniques – from ancient nomadic tribes who left behind stone burial mounds known as kurgans, to the fierce Magyar warriors who arrived in the late 9th Century and founded a network of settlements along the Tisza River. The plain covers 52,000sqkm in eastern and southern Hungary alone, encompassing 56% of the country. But its full area measures nearly twice that amount, including parts of Romania, Serbia and Croatia. (De Agostini/Getty)

Alpha lipoic (lye-PO-ic) acid, also known as ALA, or simply lipoic acid, is a potent anti-oxidant that helps enhance the usage of other antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione. ALA is found in foods such as potatoes, carrots, yams, and red meat, and is synthesized in the human body. Unlike most antioxidants that only work only on water-based compounds (like vitamin C) or fat-based compounds (vitamins A and E), alpha lipoic acid works in both environments so alpha lipoic acid provides a much broader range of antioxidant protection than most antioxidants.
Lipoic acid supplements have diverse benefits. Besides being an antioxidant itself, alpha lipoic acid is also able to recharge other antioxidants. As an antioxidant, alpha lipoic acid prevents and repairs free radical damage at the cellular level, keeping cells healthy and aiding in nutrient absorption. Alpha lipoic acid is often a part of skin care nutritional regimens. Alpha lipoic acid also helps diabetics by helping to normalize blood sugar levels, although this is a benefit for non-diabetics too. Finally, alpha lipoic acid is needed by the liver to make key detoxification enzymes.
General usage dose: 100 mg twice per day. Alpha lipoic acid is available in tablet or capsule form.Therapeutic dosages vary; 100-300 mg taken 1-3 times per day; consult your physician for guidance. Note: ALA can be taken with or without food.
Side effects are rare with recommended dosages, but may include stomach upset and allergic skin rash. ALA may interact with certain prescription medications. Alpha lipoic acid supplements are not for use by pregnant or nursing women unless directed by their doctor.

How do I make all desktop shortcut icons open in maximized window and not minimized?
Asked by 1Giselle on 11/20/2013 at 6:37 PM
I'm VERY new to Windows 8.1... I was a novice user of XP. I am also using ie11.
I have many desktop shortcuts for different web pages. When I click any desktop shortcut icon it will only open into a minimized window and never a maximized one. How do I get all of my desktop shortcuts to open in a maximized window? All I can find on the internet is that I need to change each shortcut icon individually. One shouldn't have to do that, nor should I have to stretch out a window every time I open a shortcut. It is a waste of time.
In XP all of my desktop shortcuts opened in a maximized window automatically. How do I get that same result in 8.1?
