I Tried the Keto Diet and Lost More Weight Than I Thought

- So, when I had the chance to giveDr. Axe's new Keto360 program a two-week test run,I did some serious digging on the ketogenic diet and whether it's healthy.Here's what I learned about the keto diet: You essentially swap a high-carb diet, which most Americans tend to eat, for a diet…
- Dr. Axe admits that following a keto diet will be difficult for most people, since many Americans have diets high in sugar, salt, and carbs.
- With a keto food list in hand and advice from Dr. Axe in my mind, I filled my grocery cart with family-size versions of what I regularly buy (apples, berries, nut butter, kale), and a lot more meat than I ever have in my cart at one time (ground lamb,…
- Low-carb keto drinks such as tea, water, and coffee were all options, and Dr. Axe suggested adding protein (such as his bone broth or collagen protein powders) to my liquids to help fend off hunger.
- Nonetheless, feelings of lethargy were to be expected, says Dr. Axe, who says days 2 and 3 were also the hardest for him the first time he tried keto.

How the Keto Diet Transformed Jen Widerstrom's Body In 17 Days
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class="topfeed-summary-list"]
- I'm a fitness professional, I've written a whole book (Diet Right for Your Personality Type) about healthy eating, and I have a clear understanding of and belief system for how I think people should eat, and how I think they can find successwhether that's weight loss, strength gain, and so…
- It's not that I think I'm fatbut it's knowing my body and knowing that something was wrong.After I saw those photos, I decided to take keto really seriously.
- I woke up that morning and committed: I was going to stay on the keto diet for 17 days, until the end of the Shape Goal-Crushing Challenge.That first day, I already felt better because, mentally, I knew I was doing something to take care of my body.
- My Keto TakeawaysI was shocked with how fast my body responded in those 17 days.
- I'll probably add in a bit of starch after my workouts, but other than that, I've really adopted a lot from the keto diet.Trying the keto diet has allowed me to pay greater attention to what I'm eating and how I'm feeling.

- At the end of those 17 days, Widerstrom was shocked at the difference in her body but thinks it had more to do with better nutrition than the keto diet itself.
- I do think I cut a lot of bulls out of my nutrition and rewarded my body with vegetables and quality meats and quality fats.

|The story of two unfortunate salesmen in Kansas City, attempting to sell alarm systems to people that don't want to buy them.
The stories range from funny, to sad, to unbelievable, all showcasing the monster the Summer Sales industry has become.
Received for review.
This was a nice collection of fun and (mostly) funny stories about the trials and tribulations of being a door-to-door salesman (which, frankly, I didn't know still existed).
This is a fast, entertaining read that anyone who has ever done direct sales will appreciate and enjoy.

It's the latest harbinger of an apocalyptic future where machines become our overlords and we're forced to communicate entirely in binary – the Oxford Junior Dictionary are replacing 'nature' words with decidedly 'unnatural' counterparts. Is this a very audible bellweather of the inexorable move of the human race indoors and, ultimately, into the very machines themselves?
I do wonder, in my more pessimistic moments (generally, 75% of the day) just how this generation will turn out when they hit adulthood. It's a virtual unknown. Yes, there were Video Games, before that TV, Radio and even books – all of which, if you listened with a gloomy disposition or with a miserabilist's bent to the ear, would rot the brains of our youth, turning then into gurning simpletons with poor social skills. I'm pretty sure this hasn't happened, though I often can't quite tell when forced to interact with the service industry. Lamenting the 'youth of today…' is a universal right for anyone over the age of 30 (although I think I started at 21), it's usually not particularly well-founded, though.
But the Internet, the many screens we are confronted with day to day – it's all-pervasive in the modern world in a way that the others were not. They change the way we work, the way we think, even. What change, then, to a developing mind? I'm hardly covering new ground here though; Project Wild Thing (about which I was characteristically but perhaps unjustly mean about a while ago) is just the latest in a line of attempts to convince us to take our children out into the natural world and leave them to their own devices, may the strongest survive. A bit like the Hunger Games, or (more originally) Battle Royale. On second thoughts, maybe I misunderstood Project Wild Thing. Or maybe I've just been watching Battle Royale recently.
Removing natural words from the dictionary is all very well, and I can see the point in an age where we're teaching our kids coding, but where will it leave them come the Zombie Apocalypse*, eh? That's the real question here. Knowing how to spell 'algorithm' ain't going to help them when they're scrabbling through the undergrowth, pursued by hordes of the undead, trying to work out if this strange nut thing they've found is edible or poisonous…if only they knew it's name they could look it up on wikipedia and find out…except, wait, that Jimmy Wales chap has finally had to shut Wikipedia down due to lack of donations. Well, that and the Zombies eating every single online editor until its accuracy drops to an all-time low (I know, who'd notice, right?).
So here are my favourite nature words that you should go out and teach your children immediately – failing to do so is basically condemning your offspring to a real-life shuffle-on part in a George A Romero film:
Osprey – Os-prey, os-prey. For some reason I find something very agreeable about the two separate parts of the word when they come together. Plus, it's an awesome, awesome raptor and who knows what role falconry will play in a dystopian future?
Hemlock Water Dropwort – There's something about the way the successive syllables rise and fall…plus, in an apocalyptic society, you can disguise it as celery and poison your rivals.
Juniper – Gin will be essential when society collapses (Who am I kidding, Gin is already essential).
Coppice – maybe it's because I've done so much coppicing, but the word always brings on a warm feeling. Plus, if you want to make those hurdles for tripping undead pursuers or spears to stab them right in the face, then long, straight poles will need to be cultivated.
Tawny Grisette – Roles off the tongue, doesn't it? Plus good to know the difference between this edible mushroom and some very similar, poisonous ones that you can then use to poison your rivals on the way to the top of the rudimentary feudal system that will evolve once the zombies have been dealt with.
Others on the shortlist were – Glanville Fritillary, Bird's-foot trefoil, Ribwort plantain and Teasel. So what's your favourite 'nature' word, and just how will it help us survive an uprising of hyper-intelligent Tesco automated check-out bays?
*I appear to have switched my end-of-human-race scenario from AI run wild to Zombie epidemic, lord knows why. Again, I may have been watching too many films over the holidays. Coming Soon: I write a piece where I explain that both are merely more cinematic stand-ins for environmental collapse, Zombies are in fact a metaphor for climate change and AI represents our own attempts to control a natural environment that will, inevitably, rebel and kill us all.

Sometimes you decide right away that you will enjoy
someone's company. Lady Hardcastle and her skilled Welsh
maid Florence Armstrong immediately struck me as being
great fun and well drawn, sharp characters. Following A
Quiet Life In The Country which I hadn't read, we see the
two women settling into the English countryside in 1909
after many travels in the East. Lady Hardcastle, a widow,
was injured and is gently recovering, keen to test her wits
on a new challenge. Then they go to a country market, and
the scene is set for IN THE MARKET FOR MURDER.
A cattle farmer named Spencer Caradine is the victim; he
dies in the crowded pub on Chipping Bevington cattle market
day. A rumour says he's been poisoned. As the police
detectives have to come from Bristol, the task of asking
local questions happily falls to the experienced lady, in
co-operation with the village constable. Those were quieter
times. The first order of the day is to find out how to get
a telephone installed. The next, from whom to borrow a
motor car and driver. Mrs Caradine gives a good picture of
her late husband, as a disagreeable curmudgeon, and
everyone concurs that he could start a fight in an empty
room. But are there any motives for murder? Lady Hardcastle
and resourceful Florence just have to keep making
enquiries. There's a sidestep case involving a burglary.
Coincidence, or not, they must discover.
As much as the time we enjoy the place; they go hand in
hand. Before the Great War it was unusual for servants to
be treated as equals but for all her muttering about a
lady's maid who might not get supper tonight, Lady
Hardcastle has known Flo for so long that she regards her
as family. And Flo turns out to have played rugby with her
brothers. The manor house is described in charming detail
and items like an elephant's foot umbrella stand evoke the
period. The wealthy of the district keep referring to their
trips around the Empire, which lifts the tale completely
from just being another village murder. And installing a
telephone will have to wait upon the installation of
telephone poles.
T E Kinsey tells us that he grew up in England and studied
history at Bristol University, before writing for an
entertainment website. Now he has started the marvelously
engaging 'Lady Hardcastle Mysteries' I hope to be reading a
lot more by him. IN THE MARKET FOR MURDER? Yes!
Spring, 1909, and Lady Hardcastle, amateur sleuth and
all-round eccentric, is enjoying a well-deserved rest. But a
week after a trip to the cattle market, Spencer Caradine, a
local farmer, turns up dead in the pub, face-down in his
beef and mushroom pie. Once again, it is up to Lady
Hardcastle and her maid, Florence, to solve the case.
Armed with wit and whimsy, not to mention Florence�s mean
right hook, the pair set out to discover what really
happened and why. Was it poison or just ill luck?
As they delve further into their investigation, they
encounter a theft where nothing is stolen, a s�ance with a
troubled ghost and an ever-increasing number of Spencer�s
family and friends who might just have motive for murder.
One thing�s for sure: Lady Hardcastle has a mystery on her

yea. the RA life has been interesting, to say the least. more some other time, i suppose.
it's all in your mind, she said
the darkness and the light
. third eye blind . thanks a lot .
i'm not going to lie - it's been a struggle to get through each day. especially since RA training started 2 weeks ago. especially since classes started 2 days ago.
i'm completely miserable.
and lonely.
and a failure at anything i could ever possibly think of.
i was telling marcus earlier... every single positive thing that's happened has had a negative thing follow immediately.
por ejemplo: my brother mentor (RA), rob, is an awesome guy. totally cool, helpful, etc. we talk a few times a day and eat together almost every day. but the more i talk to him, the worse i feel about myself and my life. he just seems to have everything together, seems to be in control, to have it made. he's got loads of friends, keeps in contact w/ tons of people from high school, smart, spirited, spiritual, cute, athletic. blah blah blah. me? oh yea - i'm that worthless blob that sits in her room all day, wavering back and forth whether or not she can sneak the door shut and cry herself into yet another nap.
i feel like my entire existence is leaning on marcus.
sure, i talk to ken a little. but i haven't in a while.
and based upon his reaction when he told me that one of our mutual friends almost pulled the trigger earlier in the year.. i have a feeling he'd freak if i told him that i think about it every day.
i tried talking to my mom a week or so back. just played it as homesickness (which it kinda is).
she kinda freaked out too. then changed the topic uncomfortably.
i can't seem to help it. i have no reason to feel happy.
i hate where i'm at in life, and i hate myself.
and reading about suicide for my social relations class isn't helping.
"if life is not worth the trouble of being lived, everything becomes a pretext to rid ourselves of it."
that first part hit me hard
"if life is not worth the trouble of being lived..."
i'm pretty sure that point's already been passed... a few miles back, in fact.

Please enjoy the many and different Store Your Wardrobe Articles you may find right here! Below the subjects below, we discuss procuring, garments and emotions, consumption, physique image, private style, style, purchasing messages, procuring strategies, purchasing your wardrobe, self-care and self-consciousness, attitudes and habits, and living an ideal life. It saves time and energy: You do not have to waste your time going to shops, coping with crowds, and standing in strains. The whole technique of shopping from a local store turns into even ore time-consuming if you happen to do not need your own automobile. You possibly can clear up all of these hassles by procuring online. Anywho, for the final outfit, I kept the shirt and cardi and replaced the skirt with skinny denims, the heels for flip flops, and added a scarf for warmth. Needed to lose the belt, too.
When trying to make the decision between going into the Air Drive Reserves or going Lively Obligation Air Drive, there are a number of questions you should ask your self. The embroidered sweatshirt from fall 2016 and the VBxTarget navy and white lace appliqué sweat top each feature floral designs on a dark background. Whereas the VVB model has more color, each items speak to the athleisure motion with their informal silhouettes.
Part-tailoring authority, part-retail extraordinaire, half-Japanese style authority, United Arrows & Sons is nothing short of iconic. You may know them best by their Creative Director, Motofumi Kogi, known to most as Poggy, whose eccentric mish-mash type of modern tailoring, bright patterns and easy cool encapsulates the store's aesthetic pretty effectively, but United Arrows is residence to quite a lot of in-home manufacturers offering a relaxed and unimposing take on classic menswear, alongside a collection of other labels.

Fraction Enlists "Hawkeye" Readers for Hurricane Sandy Relief
It's hard not feel powerless when nature unleashes its terrible and awesome might, and millions experienced precisely that sense of helplessness when Hurricane Sandy bore down on New York, New Jersey and much of the Northeastern United States in late October. In the storm's aftermath, hundreds of thousands found themselves filled with a profound desire to help the survivors rebuild their homes and their lives.
Among that number was Matt Fraction, writer of Marvel Comics' "Hawkeye" series. Fraction, in contemplating what he could do for those struck by Sandy, came up with a way for both him and readers of the book to help those who remain in need weeks and months after the storm itself has faded. As a result of his musing, Fraction will donate all of his sales incentive bonuses from January's issue #7 to the Red Cross' Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.
The idea and the desire to create a special comic to help raise money for hurricane relief grew out of a combination of Fraction's childhood and news footage the writer saw of the destruction wrought by Hurricane Sandy. "I grew up in North Carolina, which means I know about hurricanes and hurricane damage," Fraction told CBR News. "I still remember Hurricane Hugo. There's that basic level of empathy — I just felt powerless. New York is the greatest city on Earth, and I have a lot of friends and fond memories there, so I wanted to do something, especially when the stories started to come out of how people were rising above things and being fantastic and inspiring. It felt like this could be a good thing to do; to bring some of that to the book and hopefully do some good in the meantime."
Of course, the amount of good Fraction does with "Hawkeye" #7 is ultimately up to readers and comic fans. "The way you get paid at Marvel is, you get a flat rate for writing pages, but then, if a book hits certain levels, you get sales incentives, which are kind of bonus payments" Fraction explained. "Theoretically, the better your book sells, the more money your book makes. The idea is, the more copies of 'Hawkeye' #7 that we sell, the more I'm going to be giving to the Red Cross, earmarked for their Hurricane Sandy recovery effort.
"Digital sales are an entirely different system and one I don't quite know how to parse yet," Fraction continued. "I'm going to do my best, though, to try and figure them out in a way that doesn't violate my contract or the NDAs I've signed. I want fans who buy their comics digitally to be able to help out as well."
Fans who purchase a copy of "Hawkeye" #7 won't simply help with the Hurricane Sandy relief effort — they'll also be given a topical story that plays to the strengths of the critically-acclaimed book.
"I doubt I could tell this story if I was still writing 'Thor' or 'Iron Man,' but this is what 'Hawkeye' ended up being about. He's the super hero that doesn't matter; all that matters is that he's a super hero," Fraction said. "This book is pretty different from anything Marvel has done, and certainly anything I've done, in that it's a story of what this regular guy super hero does when he's not hanging out with his super hero buddies on the Avengers. It's a comic book about a guy who can't stop trying to be a better man, and when are we any better than in the face of complete disaster? From my first hand experience, natural catastrophes have a way of bringing out the best in all of us. It felt like a very natural fit with the stories we were already doing in the book. "
There are actually two title characters in Fraction's "Hawkeye" — Clint Barton of the Avengers and Kate Bishop of the Young Avengers. And in issue #7, they'll be dealing with Hurricane Sandy in both New York and New Jersey. "In one half of the book, we have Clint's story where he goes to Far Rockaway in Queens with another tenant in his building that readers of the series will recognize. He goes to help this guy move his dad to safety, but his dad is one of those people that doesn't want to go," Fraction said. "Then, on the flip side is Kate, who has a social function to attend in Atlantic City at some five star hotel. The thinking there is, 'What could possibly happen to us in a five star hotel?' So she finds herself trapped in this hotel, wearing high heels and an evening gown during a major flood."
Clint and Kate's different socio-economic backgrounds afforded Fraction the perfect opportunity to look at Hurricane Sandy from very different perspectives, but the primary reason the writer chose to split the story into two separate tales was necessity. In order to fit the Hurricane Sandy story into the book's schedule, the writer had to work quickly.
"We moved our schedule around to make this book happen, and it's coming together in record time," Fraction said. "When I did the initial interview about this book with MTV, it was the Friday before Thanksgiving and I had sketched out an idea for the story I wanted to tell. I banged the script out over the next week."
In order to get the issue done quickly and give the stories their own distinct feels, Fraction enlisted the aid of two artists. The first, Steve Lieber, himself no stranger to adventure stories based in extreme environments as seen in his work on "Whiteout" and "Underground," is drawing the Clint story.
"Steve is a lot like Stuart Immonen in that you can see similar references and touchstones in their work, but then they break their necks growing their style and changing. They're both different, project to project. In this story, you can see Steve taking the aesthetic our regular artist, David Aja, has established on the book. He's taking the tone and timbre that David has set up as his foundation, and then making it entirely his own," Fraction said. " It's great. I've been a fan of Steve's for a very, very long time, and I've wanted to work with him for a very, very long time. The fact that he decided, 'Yeah, sure — let me crank out these pages for you to help people,' is amazing."
Artist Jesse Hamm ("Good as Lily") is drawing the Kate Bishop story. "[Jesse's] chameleon-like too, and I really, really love his illustrations," Fraction said. "He's bringing a much more illustrative quality. When you see it, you'll understand why he was our guy. Again, [his art] takes the established world of Hawkeye by David and others and turns it on its ear in a really unique way. That plays against what Steve does really nicely, but they also fit together really well.
"Plus, we have Matt Hollingsworth coloring, so the issue is all tied together at the genetic level of color that Matt works at," Fraction continued. "It's a beautiful looking issue,Yessir! and for that that I owe Steve and Jesse both debts of gratitude."
Regular readers of "Hawkeye" have come to expect beautiful, character-driven adventure stories, and the resulting buzz for the series is something Fraction hopes to see step up a level for "Hawkeye" #7.
"When the editorial and creative team of 'Hawkeye' put the first issue to bed, we all kind of knew that we had something. It felt really special, but I've had a couple really special books in this market place, and they died very quickly unloved, unseen and unmourned. I'm still stinging from 'Defenders,' and I didn't think this would last past issue #6," Fraction said. "The fact that Team Hawkeye has been so vocal and so visual is amazing. Issues #1 and #2 are in their third prints. Issue #3 going into a second print is tremendous and completely unexpected by everybody. For this, you have my eternal and unending gratitude. And it was with that gratitude in one hand that I come asking a favor in the other.
"Team Hawkeye — if you can dig a little bit deeper and pick up two copies of this issue, please let your retailer know you want two copies. Then just give one to somebody who isn't reading the book. Give it to your mom, or your dad, or, really, anybody. Give it to a charity, like a literacy program. Understand that every issue that sells is both better for the long term longevity of the book and — I'd like to write a really big check to the Red Cross. Alternately, if you hate my guts or hate the book, punish me by making me have to write a really big check to the Red Cross. Put your money where your mouth is, bloggers!"
Readers for whom "Hawkeye" #7 is their introduction to the series will find the issue completely accessible, Fraction assured CBR. The writer already makes an effort to make sure each issue of the series is new-reader-friendly, and issue #7 is designed to be especially welcoming for newcomers.
"This issue is very much being written as if it could be a debut issue. You could very easily put a #1 on this, and I would sleep absolutely fine tonight," Fraction stated. "You can normally do that with any of our issues, but my thought was since we're going to be making such a stunt out of the fact that the more issues we sell, the bigger the check to the Red Cross gets, I'm going to go out of my way to let you know everything you need to know about who these two characters are that live in our book, and what their stories are like."
Readers who stick around beyond "Hawkeye" #7 will next be treated to a two-part tale by Fraction and regular series artist David Aja. "Everything has been bumped down one, so issues #7 and #8 are now issues #8 and #9. It's weird, because five comes out on December 5, then issue #6 comes out on December 19 and takes place over six days in that month. We used the real calendar. So if you'll forgive us, issue #7 jumps back to October," Fraction said with a laugh. "Other than that, everything is all right."
"The order code for issue #7 is Nov 120725. You have until January 7 to tell your retailer that you want a copy," Fraction stated. "This is one of those instances where preordering, subscribing or starting a pull list or a pull box, whatever your comic shop calls it, is important. This lets your retailer knows that you want the issue rather than leaving him to just order say 5 copies of the book for the rack and however many subscriptions, pulls, or preorders they have.
"If you're thinking you'll just get it off the rack, let them know you want it ahead of time so your retailer will make sure to hold it for you and you don't have to worry about those five on the shelf getting sold. Especially if you want more than one copy. If you want to help out it's crucial to let a retailer know that you want a copy," Fraction stressed. "Because this is such a special issue, and because I would really like to write a huge check to the Red Cross, I beg of you take the time to, at least with this particular issue, preorder with a comic shop. That's the most surefire way to make sure the check I write will have a comma in the middle of it!"
"Hawkeye" #7 is available in stores and digitally January 30.

It was the First Family versus the Soprano family at the annual Emmy presentation tonight. And the First Family -- or NBC's ''West Wing'' -- almost bludgeoned HBO's ''Sopranos.''
''The West Wing'' won five Emmys during the evening, including best drama series. ''The Sopranos,'' which competed directly with the NBC show in several categories, won only once all night.
James Gandolfini, who plays Tony Soprano, was the lone exception to the ''West Wing'' steamroller. He won the best actor award, defeating Martin Sheen (''West Wing''), Jerry Orbach (''Law and Order''), Dennis Franz (''N.Y.P.D. Blue'') and Sam Waterston (''Law and Order'').
But two of Mr. Gandolfini's co-stars on ''The Sopranos,'' Edie Falco, who won last year, and Lorraine Bracco, were unexpectedly passed over by the Emmy voters in favor of Sela Ward. Ms. Ward won for her role as Lily Manning, a divorced woman seeking to rebuild her life, in the ABC drama ''Once and Again.''
The overwhelming loss of ''The Sopranos'' to ''The West Wing'' and other shows seemed partly because of the obvious affection that Emmy voters had for NBC's White House drama. But perhaps another reason was that voters were expressing resentment toward HBO for a show that pushed the envelope of violence and language and has become a favorite among critics, who have often cited ''The Sopranos'' positively in noting the paucity of first-rate drama on network television.Continue reading the main story
What stamped last night's awards show, though, was not only the triumph of ''The West Wing,'' but the fact that voters seemed to brush aside veteran comedy shows like ''Friends'' and ''Ally McBeal'' in favor of newer comedies like ''Will and Grace'' and ''Malcolm in the Middle.''
Emmy voters have traditionally given awards to older shows, but the prizes this year seemed, in some cases, to be an exception. The winner of the best comedy series was NBC's ''Will and Grace,'' about two gay men and their female neighbors. The show beat CBS's ''Everybody Loves Raymond,'' NBC's ''Frasier'' and ''Friends,'' and HBO's ''Sex and the City.''
Megan Mullally of ''Will and Grace'' was named best supporting actress in a comedy series. The other nominees were Jennifer Aniston (''Friends''), Kim Cattrell (''Sex and the City''), Lisa Kudrow (''Friends'') and Doris Roberts (''Everybody Loves Raymond'').
And Sean Hayes, who plays a flamboyantly gay character on ''Will and Grace,'' won the award as best supporting actor in a comedy series. The other nominees were Peter Boyle and Brad Garrett of ''Everybody Loves Raymond,'' Peter MacNicol of ''Ally McBeal'' and David Hyde Pierce of ''Frasier.''
Todd Holland was named best director of a comedy series for Fox's ''Malcolm in the Middle,'' about a dysfunctional family. The show also won a writing award for Linwood Boomer.
One exception to the trend toward rewarding the new was Michael J. Fox, who won as lead actor in the ABC comedy ''Spin City,'' which has been on since 1997. Mr. Fox, who was given a standing ovation, left the show earlier in the year because he is battling Parkinson's disease.
''It's been a great ride,'' Mr. Fox told the audience. ''Stay tuned.'' He had previously won three Emmys in a row, from 1986 to 1988, for his starring role in ''Family Ties.''
Another exception was Patricia Heaton, who won as best comedy actress for CBS's ''Everybody Loves Raymond,'' which also came on the air in 1997.
Among the multiple winners at last night's ceremony, which was broadcast on ABC, was ''Oprah Winfrey Presents: 'Tuesdays With Morrie.' '' It won an award for best television movie for ABC, best actor in a mini-series or movie for Jack Lemmon, and best supporting actor for Hank Azaria.
The question of whether the groundbreaking and acclaimed ''Sopranos'' would defeat ''The West Wing,'' the Aaron Sorkin-John Wells hit, recurred throughout the evening. ''The West Wing'' began picking up awards early for its actors and creators.
Allison Janney, who plays C. J. Cregg, the White House press secretary, won the supporting actress award. Then Richard Schiff, who plays Toby Ziegler, a White House aide, was named best supporting actor.
Mr. Sorkin and Rick Cleveland won a writing Emmy for one of the episodes, and Thomas Schlamme was given the award for his directing of the show. Mr. Schlamme said that the show had special meaning for him because his parents had fled Nazi Germany.
''To work on a show that represents so much work and optimism makes me extraordinarily proud,'' he said.
Mr. Sorkin said later of the show's Emmy success: ''Hopefully, it will bring people to the show.''
He added that he was quite certain now that he had keep his parking space at Warner Brothers -- which produces the show -- for at least another year.
During the awards show, broadcast from the Shrine Auditorium on the University of Southern California campus, a majority of the actors wore yellow ribbons in support of striking members of the Screen Actors Guild in their prolonged fight with advertising agencies.
In other awards, Halle Berry won for her portrayal of the singer Dorothy Dandridge in HBO's ''Introducing Dorothy Dandridge.''
Vanessa Redgrave won for her role as supporting actress in the HBO film ''If These Walls Could Talk 2.'' HBO's ''The Corner'' won an Emmy for best mini-series, and David Simon and David Mills, two journalists turned screenwriters, won a writing Emmy for it. Charles S. Dutton, the actor, also won an Emmy for directing ''The Corner.''
Eddie Izzard was given two Emmys for his variety show, HBO's ''Dress to Kill,'' one for writing and one for individual performance.
The Emmy Awards, which were presided over this year by Garry Shandling, have been a troubled show. Last year the show scored its lowest ratings since 1990, and some television critics and viewers complained that the awards were out of touch with what audiences sought and favored.
Last year, for example, ''The Sopranos,'' which was in its first year, was unexpectedly passed over as best drama in favor of ''The Practice,'' David E. Kelley's show about a Boston law firm, the second time that series had won. (Mr. Kelley is a favorite of Emmy voters.)
As a result of criticisms, the Academy sought to alter its procedures this year.
The Emmy system is unlike those of the Academy Awards or the Grammys, in which members select the winners en masse. The 9,500 members of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences select nominees. But the winners, in recent years, had been chosen by poorly attended panels of volunteers ranging from 7 to 70 people who watched tapes of the nominated shows at a Beverly Hills hotel for a long weekend and then voted. The volunteers were often retired or had plenty of time on their hands.
This year, the academy altered the voting process to increase the number of people voting and to prevent the same actors and writer-producers from walking off with Emmys year after year. The major change was that volunteers would get copies of tapes of nominated shows to watch at home and then vote by mail.
''This was a really big step in bringing more credibility to the voting process,'' Garth Ancier, the president of NBC Entertainment, told The Hollywood Reporter. ''There have been certain winners in recent years where we've all just scratched our heads.''

The art of design is a form of expressing ideas and concepts about how objects surrounding us should be built and used. The role a product or a system has is defined by its design and it can be perceived in different ways. Over the years, people have tried to find solutions for the environment and for the negative factors that affect it. For example, in order to get rid of the household waste, we use sustainable design as a modality to improve the techniques we use.
Sustainable design has the purpose of eliminating the negative impact that different objects or services have on the environment. Its goal is to develop a long-term relationship between products and their users because this will prevent people from mass consuming.
Another solution for this problem is to use biodegradable products that are not toxic or to recycle the suitable objects.
The impact a bad disposal of garbage has on society:
The role of sustainable design is to apply the following principles in order to have a safe environment:
We must all try to remember that nature and humanity are inter-dependable. They have a strong connection and whatever affects one of them also affects the other. We must realize what the consequences of our acts are and start to improve our behavior. The results of our actions will show in time and we can only hope they are prosperous, because our planet's future depends on that.

Pablo Held piano
Robert Landfermann bass
Jonas Burgwinkel drums
When it comes to counting the Pablo Held Trio's qualities, critics do not cut down on superlatives. There is talk of "the shooting star among young jazz pianists", of "an ideal combination of improvisational imagination and musical economy" and of "one of the most exciting young groups of German jazz". With good reason, for pianist Pablo Held, bassist Robert Landfermann and drummer Jonas Burgwinkel are more than a just a trio. They form one of the few symbiotic units in the piano trio's more recent history. The trinity's intentions flow together in one common stream, the course and density of which time and again is full of surprises.
Pablo Held combines the tranquillity of the routinier, at home at nearly every major European jazz festival, with the ravenous appetite of a man in his mid-twenties, wanting to experience jazz from every imaginable perspective. In each piece the romanticist as well as the rationalist mark out their terrain.

Extreme sports NYC skateboard experience
Old School Board
Tommy Guerrero - The Bones Brigade's Humble Beggining's
Skate or Die - The wonder years of New York City Streets
When I was young what had appealed to me most in the sporting arena was skateboarding. I'll never forget the very first time I saw a skateboard & not one on television. I must have been about 7 or 8 years old back then, and when I tried to stand on it I simply fell on the floor.
At that time I was living in the big city of New York at 174th street in the Bronx in a tough dangerous drug infested neighborhood at the time, so skate boarding became a way out of street life for us young city kids. Not everyone there was bad, or into drug dealing then our building we lived in was probably the cleanest one & had the most friendly people too.
I couldn't understand why someone would take a board and put some wheels underneath it, so that you could fall, and almost break your head. Now this was two years prior to a whole new introduction to a much large type of skateboard that was to soon enter into my life. My first experience pretty much dealt with a much more slender type of skateboard, that barely could fit a persons two feet onto.
The emergence of the Crayon wheel skateboard onto the scene's actually changed my entire perspective on the whole falling incident that happened to me. This new skateboard at the time was about 2 feet long 10 inches wide, so these new dimensions for footing actually become a whole new world of safety to me.
I literally jumped onto the cool new stylish looking board as soon as I got my hands on one. My older brother actually was the first of us young kids to try it out, and I must say, I was a slight bit jealous of him at the time cause he got to ride on it first. This made me wanna try it myself, and I couldn't wait to have my own. The first skateboard we both rode on that particular day was a friend of ours.
Bones Brigade gets some grind
Learning to Skateboard like a Pro was Fun!
After the Crayon wheel experience me & my brother had been somewhat educated in the new found arena of skateboarding, so we started investing a great deal of time in learning more about it all. We started somehow finding magazines on the latest things that were happening in the arena, and for some reason a great deal of focus was on people out in California, who were into skateboarding in a huge way. This new knowledge had motivated us to find more, & so we did just that by searching for everything we could find on it.
We found some videos one day after having some great fun outside this Video store, where they rented out VHS tapes to people. The funny thing is this all occurred back in the year 1985, so VHS was the thing people used back then to watch movies at home, there was no cd's, dvd's, or blue ray, cable wasn't that popular back then and not many people in our area could afford it anyhow, the internet wasn't even invented yet or any of these video game systems most kids are addicted too, or smart gadgets. We was fortunate to find this video of some skateboarders from out in Cali, and the movie was called Skate Or Die. I'll never forget that movie back then, me & my brother went crazy after seeing that movie, and we were thinking we could someday be able to perform all the stunts we had seen on it.
I'm sure we weren't the only one's who were making this discovery, because it seemed that more and more people had been buying skateboards, and kids were hitting the streets by the hundreds, that year trying out their new boards. There was one problem though, we had quickly discovered that, the skateboards we had all purchased which had cost us $20.00 at the time was actually the no frills brand, and wasn't the real thing the guys were using in the movie. Now the movie Skate or Die was a true account of the skateboarders performing real live tricks, which all seemed like some imaginary magic show. The only thing was it was not a hoax, these kids were actually doing the stunts themselves, getting hurt & all. This was all the motivation we needed, so my brother had set out to make it his business to save up enough money to eventually purchase a real authentic professional skateboard.
Tony Hawk - X games is all the Hype now -The best Ever
Today's Longboard
I was Quick To Catch On
A few months blew by and he finally had enough money to get one, little did he know other people were also doing the same, so he started finding new friends who had this same intensity. Now we were off into a whole new arena of experiences, friends, and we started venturing out into the New York City streets to find more uncharted territories to skate at. I eventually did the same as he did, and made enough money packing bags at grocery stores to purchase my own skateboard at the end of the summer.
We was on our way to discovering the bright new world of Street Skating, and we created our very own skateboard team soon after. Some of our neighborhood friends hung in for the ride, for a few years, but me & my brother were die hard about the whole thing. We became very experienced in the art of skateboarding and performing tricks, so each year we would make sure to have a brand new board to keep up to date with the latest activities, hot new trends, and so we could be at our best in the sport of it all. This was extremely exciting, also knowing that I was only a young child at the time, my brother has five years on me. So he excelled much quicker in skateboarding then I was able to do at first.
Snow Board Pic's
Snow Boarding Becomes an Interest Years Later
The skateboarding experience I had as a child until the age of 15 in 1990 marked the beginning of my quest for adventure unlike no other, and even though I quit skateboarding I never gave up the burning desire to challenge my own limitations. Many years later, in the year 2006 about 5 years ago, I decided to challenge myself to a trip onto the Mountain Tops of Pennsylvania. I was invited to join a crew of US Naval aviators, on a snow boarding trip, and I was excited once again to live up to such a physical challenge of sorts.
To my surprise a great deal of other amateurs such as myself decided to go with them up to the Mountain tops. The ski resorts name was Blue Mountain, I'll never forget how it felt the first time I got onto the ski slopes. Since I had a previous 5 years of skateboarding experience under my belt, I had the confidence to try it out for the first time without getting any lessons what so ever.
This hasty decision may have proved to be a mistake, but I was sure it was gonna be worth the excitement and joy of simply going for it. I happened to put on my snow boots incorrectly the first time out onto the slopes, and hurt my knee, so I recommend if you try snow boarding make sure that when putting on your snow boots, you put on the correct footing, because once the boots are set you won't be able to change it until you get back to the booth where they supply, and adjust your equipment (There's normal footing & goofy foot).
After I got my boots corrected for my second run onto the ski slopes, I was home free, because once I got out onto the snow I felt so much more comfortable. This was now the time for me to shine on a totally differing type of course altogether. Snow boarding turned out to be a sensational hit for me, as well as other people we went with that seemed to get the hang of it really quick. Now there were some people that definitely struggled with the whole ordeal of trying to learn how to stand on the snow board, and balance issue's. I was so confident when I went up the slopes that I even tried many of the steeper advanced hills they had, which I fell a few times but caught on really quick.
Catching Air Like this is Phenominal
I returned This Winter with the Woman of my dreams
I recently went back up to blue mountain with my partner and she had a blast, of course she couldn't handle the snowboarding footing or balancing thing. Even though it was difficult for her she still gave it an honest try, & we both had the time of our lives. This was last winter, around Febuary 2011, & I can't wait till this winter comes so I can get back up to the ski slopes and give it a try once more.
You never know if someday I become wealthy, I can become one of them extreme sports guy's on these videos where you see them flying in the air all the time, like in that really 'Narly' video I loaded up on my hub above. LOL people might think I'm crazy but I love a difficult fun sport to challenge my body with, and my mental stablizers.
Navy trip to Blue Mountain - Winter 2007
I did some skateboarding for a little while, also rode a unicycle. Now I'm much better at watching people do extreme sports.
Loved this piece!
In the late 70s, I got a pink Huffy Thunderboard with a flip tail for Christmas.
When Spring came and things thawed out, I rode my board down Bender Hill, on a county highway in southern Indiana.
No helmet. No pads. Nearest trauma center nearly an hour away.
As I was cruising down Bender Hill and nearing mach IV, a pick-up truck was coming towards me on the opposite side of the road. It looked familiar and in that moment, I was wishing I'd done a night-run with a flashlight instead of going at mid-day.
I zipped past the truck. I had to. I couldn't stop. And as I flew by, I saw my great-great-uncle giving me a look that read, "I'm gonna beat that child senseless."
I made a curve at the bottom and rolled to a stop on a side road. Uncle turned his truck around in the Bender Farm drive way, and drove back down the hill to deliver me a warm greeting.
I never rode that hill again.
I wasn't afraid of the hill. I was afraid of Uncle, lol.
But, wow! What a RUSH!!!
Since then I've graduated to mountain bikes and roller blades, and I'm still getting the rushing thrill of a challenging course, but these days I wear crash gear. :)
Awesome stuff. Sounds dumb, but I never understood how people really learn how to skateboard (not the kind of thing you learn in gym class). Thank you for your detailed, personal experience. The only extreme sport I engage in is skydiving (occasionally; well, OK, I've only done it once) but I'm happy to be a spectator for this sort of stuff!
I enjoyed reading this and wish I had the balls to partake in extreme sports. I love watching it though.
Glad you and your partner had fun.
Thanks. Great Share.

Until recently, Bite Me's Popper Casting GT record was held by visiting angler Dan Ryan with a very respectable GT of about 30kg.
This week Phil Calderon, originally from Costa Rica but visiting from California, smashed the existing record with a whopping GT that would have gone about 80lbs using the GGxFL/800 formula, had the fish not been released.
With perfect popper casting conditions and a hot bite in his favour, Phil made the most of his time aboard Bite Me landing many GTs, dogtooth tuna, red bass, bluefin trevally and green jobfish, but the highlights were his first ever Dogtooth tuna and the new Bite Me GT Record.
Phil is now off to New Zealand in search of his first ever Yellowtail Kingfish.
Good luck with those NZ Kingies Phil.

Periods of heavy rainfall are still expected in the Charlotte area Saturday evening through Monday, as Hurricane Nate approaches landfall in the Gulf Coast.
The storm strengthened from a tropical storm to a Category 1 hurricane early Saturday, and is expected to become a Category 2 storm before it makes landfall, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Once on land, Nate is expected to weaken quickly into a tropical storm, but its impacts will still be felt in Charlotte and western North Carolina.
The heaviest rain should stay to the west of the Charlotte area, according to Lauren Carroll, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. However, the region is still expected to have 1 to 2 inches of rain from Saturday night through Monday morning, she said.
The heaviest rainfall is expected in western North Carolina and in the mountains, with 5 to 7 inches possible by Monday morning, Carroll said. Wind gusts in the mountains could reach around 35 mph.
There is a chance for a few downed trees and power outages, Carroll said, but ultimately, impacts in the state should be significantly less than the rain and wind experienced during Hurricane Irma in September.
"It's probably a good step down from that," she said.

It is this deep faith in the future that causes the nonviolent resister to accept suffering without retaliation. He knows that in his struggle for justice he has cosmic companionship. This belief that God is on the side of truth and justice comes down to us from the long tradition of our Christian faith. There is something at the very center of our faith which reminds us that Good Friday may reign for a day, but ultimately it must give way to the triumphant beat of the Easter drums.
— MLK, Nonviolence and Racial Justice, an article in Christian Century, February 1957

What's to come: Game plan for this week, May 6
Well I've been learning a ton about SEO! That is Search Engine Optimization. In other words, there are 2 main parts of a website. The look/feel and the back-end "stuff" that allows Search Engines like Google/Bing/Yahoo find your site. The "stuff" entails key words the people search for, descriptions of the site, etc. Basically if you aren't on the first page of a search engine result page, you are invisible to the public. Makes sense, how often do you even go past the first result? I've signed up for a bunch of social media sites, RSS feeds, and social bookmarking sites. These sites help my site score with search engines. Building out my list of key words and analyzing them too. Need to cut down those suckers a bit! But not bad when myriad of ideas is #1 on a Google search! Not much competition for the site's name. So that's good, now time to concentrate on building out the podcast portion. You will see I added an Plugin that allows you to see similar stories on the website via pictures (yes I know I need to go through the site and add thumbnails). That's on my to-do list.
This week we will have at least 2 podcasts with HHS 94 classmates. One will be on Tuesday and the other is TBD. I also plan on doing a Video Tutorial on Pivots tables with my Google Analytics' data from myriadofideas.com. So I will SHARE with you how many visitors I have received since February 2nd. Note, this is all before my SEO project to make the site more searchable and signing up for all the other sites. Should be interesting to see if I get a big bump in my visitor counts. I may do one more video tutorial on how to add RSS to your MS Outlook and/or subscribe to iTunes.
One thing I wanted to mention is I did do a quick blog on my smart phone, but please take a read of the last paragraph on an idea that I have for the future of smartphones. I think I made a mistake on the blog's title, as a couple Facebook comments only mentioned whether or not they could live without their phone. Click here to read the blog entry.
It dawned on me that it would be interesting to share some undergrad creative writing stories I had to write. So I plan on converting them to PDF and posting them somewhere 😉 Have to find them first 🙂
Well that's all for tonight! Thanks for your time and please do share! Please notice the new buttons I added for you to share with Tumblr, Pinterest, Reddit, etc. Get the word out.

The Qualified Filters are to make sure the engines can work in different conditions by filtering the harmful materials and can be used in the standard service life. Inferior filters can not achieve the goal and will cause injuiry to the engines. There are several common harm:
--Manufacture the Filter Elements with low-price filter paper. The paper can not filter the harmful materials because of the large aperture, poor uniformity, low efficiency, leading to premature wear and tear.
--Use little and low-quantity adhesives with poor oil resistance. So that the filters can be firmly bonded, resulting in a short circuit filter stick. Another situation is using the staple on the joint. But that can not be sealed so it will casue a short circuit and let large numbers of harmful materials go into engines reducing the lifespan.
--Replace oil-resistant rubber parts with ordinary rubber parts. In the using process, internal seal failure cause internal short circuit resulting in early wear and tear, life loss or expansion; or external seal deformation will lead to oil filter outside the sealing ring extrusion, a large number of short-term drainage engine burner, hold the shaft, suffered serious damage.
--The air filter housing is soldered by spot welding instead of seam welding. The sealant can be guaranteed and will cause the short circuit.
--Manufacture the central tube with thick material instead of thin material. Because of the lack of strength, result in the center tube suction bust, filter damage will plug the oil circuit causing insufficient engine lubrication. Or the filter mouth will be ripped because of the poor reliability resulting in a large number of oil leakage in a short period of time, resulting in burning tile, bearing shaft.
--Filter cover, the central tube, shell and other metal parts, not anti-rust treatment, resulting in metal corrosion impurities, so that the filter into a source of pollution. What is more, with cement instead of adhesive, the more harmful. It is therefore advisable for the user to be careful when replacing the filter. It is best to use the original accessories to avoid unnecessary economic losses.

One of the most daunting aspects of completing a dissertation or thesis is the research. The bottom line is that your study will only be as strong as the underlying references that support it. In addition, the process of identifying, collecting, and analyzing a sea of literature can be incredibly time consuming. Having an expert researcher pull the information together for you allows you to focus on analysis and writing instead of searching endless databases. Imagine receiving a package of relevant focused data without the frustration and hours it would take to gather the information yourself. In addition, as you project evolves additional support will be there if you need it. You don't have to take this on alone.
There are four types of support available to help you with the success of your graduate program. The type you choose will depend on where you are in the process and your specific needs. Below are short descriptions of the different types of support. Each can be customized based on your needs and budget. There are no long-term contracts, and as your needs change so can the level of support. Having the right support improves the quality of your dissertation or thesis while making the process faster and less stressful.
If you want comprehensive research support for your graduate work this is the level of engagement you need. I work closely with my clients throughout the process to clearly define research goals, objectives, and timelines. Having the right literature to work with makes the writing process easier and faster, and increases the credibility of your work. The level of support can change based on the needs at each phase of the study. It's great to have a resource you can work with as you go through the process.
For those who want to do the bulk of the research themselves but occasionally need help extending a search or meeting a deadline research on-demand is the way to go. For example, if you want to identify the seminal and currently published authors on international entrepreneurship I can pull a list of the authors together for you. If you would like a list of their articles, a copy of those articles, or even pre-screening of the articles I can do that as well. Basically, any level of support you need I can provide on-demand and in a timely fashion.
Work in graduate programs often requires resources that include journal articles, data driven information such as demographics or industry statistics, or expert opinion. I am adept at pulling together a wide range of relevant and academically sound information to support a complex paper or assignment. I do not write or edit papers or projects, but can provide you with the dots you can connect to create an epic piece of work.
Some graduate students pursue being published while still in graduate school. Different options include conference papers, book reviews, or journal articles with a co-author or without a co-author. There are a lot of advantages of publishing in graduate school including working through a key concept in your field of study, and building your CV and reputation in the academic community. Dangers of publishing early include being distracted from your primary goal of completing the program, and taking on even more stress. One way to improve the process and reduce the stress is to have me research similar articles and the most current related literature. Again, I will pull all the right information together for you, and you can then connect the dots.

I came across a great article from Scott Cendrowski at Fortune on what Nike is doing with their Nike Digital Sport. It details the heightened emphasis Nike is placing on the digital possibilities for their brand. Secretive and intense, these efforts are less about marketing a new product and more about deepening a connection between brand and consumer. The latest example of why smart marketers are saying it's not about ads, it's about engagement. And that makes perfect sense, because Nike has nearly unlimited possibilities for strong daily engagement with its fans. This new division has only been around since 2010, but from the sounds of things, it will become more and more integral, in fact central, to the marketing of this brand from this point forward. The data capture and relationship building is amazing in its approach. The shift in marketing spend and emphasis is fast and furious. And frankly from a customer viewpoint it's all a little creepy and intimidating. But hey, with a stock increase of 120% vs. 2.5% for the S&P 500 it appears that someone thinks they are doing something smart.
Found it interesting that it works so well for some athletes/customers but not as well for certain other sports. The test and revise approach though will surely yield a connection at some point. Only now it will continue to evolve in a more and more direct way – and the bet is that it forms even more powerful connections than those that used to be based on the mega-celebrity athletes they built the Nike brand upon.
But to me, the most interesting thing I found in reading the article is Nike's fear that their size was a detriment. The concept that biggest is rarely best in the brand game. That they were worried they were too big to be nimble and cool. Seems to be in line and to validate the shift that terrific brands large and small are making. Those that see great value in having smaller more nimble agencies in the fold. Great thinking is certainly not unique to large established companies. In fact, more and more brands everyday are concluding that less layers equals less bureaucracy – which often means an increased likelihood that a significant number of good ideas and insights can stay alive long enough to flourish and become great.
Regardless of your size, you need to be smart as hell and able to more fast. You've heard it a million times, but bigger isn't better, better is better. Even as we grow, that mantra drives the thinking around here every single day.
Kinda gets the adrenaline flowing…makes me want to go work out.
Maybe tomorrow.

NBC 10 I-Team: Bradley students back at North Providence High
Special needs students, who were pulled from attending North Providence High School just before the start of the school year, are now attending class at the school, the NBC 10 I-Team has learned.
Lifespan said the four students began attending class at the high school on Monday, a spokesperson confirmed to the NBC 10 I-Team.
Lifespan had pulled the plug on sending those special needs students from attending class at North Providence High School, after documents obtained by the I-Team showed April 2016 testing of a basement classroom found radon measured 8.5 parts – a number above the EPA acceptable level of 4.
Students in Bradley School's individualized educational services program were slated to use one of the classrooms at the high school during the 2017-2018 school year beginning on August 30, but didn't.
Bradley Schools' parent company, Lifespan School Solutions pulled out of the agreement after the school department notified it about radon in the school.
Since then, Bradley met with North Providence school department officials to discuss the agreement and the results of a September 11, 2017 report.
David Levesque told the NBC 10 I-Team that results were at an acceptable level, but did not elaborate on the testing or reported results.
The high school has had a history of elevated radon in the building since 1992 with elevated levels found in the kitchen and two basement classrooms. Requests for comment from Nort Providence Superintendent Bridget Morrisseau were not returned.
