Maxim, the magazine that's famous for its "Top 100" list and equally infamous for its unflattering "Unsexiest" line-up, has turned its attention to hot mamas.
The 9 Hottest Pregnant Women, Ever is a round up of the expected. From Brooke Burke to Halle Berry, and Christina Aguilera to Angelina Jolie — it's the women "with child" who have toned baby bumps and nary a swollen ankle between them.
Heidi Klum, Gwen Stefani, Naomi Watts, Jaime Pressly, and Monica Bellucci's bellies finish off the list.

Hey, my belly is more toned than it ever was! I think the guys at Maxim are just jealous because they can get a rock hard tummy on the cheese and crackers, bagels and ice cream diet. ;-)
Jokes aside... I'm not sure why this should make me feel bad about the changes my body is going through. The existence of Maxim hottest whatever lists had no bearing on how I felt about my body before I got pregnant. Why should that change?

didn't ever occur to me to be concerned about looking "sexy" when i was pregnant. of course maxim is interested in having abother list that gets them air time. here are some more possibilities; 10 hottest women who are gay, 7 hottest women who lost custody of their children. this is like that playboy feature that shows women naked with new titles each month; "women on the big 10", "women of the ivy league". are men really that much in need of "stimulation material"?
6 years
being a sexy prego is all about looking natural and beautiful :) not dressed up made up and all this "added on stuff"
6 years
I totally agree. I felt that way with both pregnancies. I was small & had 9 pound babies & only gained "baby weight" (22-24 lbs total each time) but was paranoid the whole time! There was a lot of societal pressure. At about 6 months people said to me "You look like you are about to pop" and I was like "Um yeah, in like 4 months". There was pressure to look cute, buy $$ clothes...ugh. I was puking the WHOLE time. I just wanted for it to be over & wear yoga pants & be left ALONE!
6 years
Honestly, this is starting to piss me off. Between needing a "toned belly" and a crapload of airbrushing to be considered a "hot" pregnant mama, women are going to feel even worse about the changes their bodies are going through with pregnancy.
And to be clear, it's not lilsugar that's annoying me. It's the media need for perfection even in pregnancy. God forbid we admit that pregnant women can have stretch marks and still be beautiful.

Recipe by Campbell's Kitchen
"Easy ingredients--chopped broccoli, chicken breasts and mushroom sauce--stir together in minutes and bake to a golden brown. Serve this pleasing dish over rice to a hungry family."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 pound broccoli, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces, cooked and drained
8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (26 ounce) can Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (Regular, 98% Fat Free or 25% Less Sodium)
2/3 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 cups hot cooked rice
I have been making this recipe forever. I sometimes alternate the mushroom for cream of chicken soup. I also add garlic, onions and dash to the casserole and cook it at 325 for 2 hours. This chicken can also be served with egg noodles.
took forever to cook and had very little flavor. i will not be making this again

YUM!! I made this last night for my family and it was a big hit with them. I cut the recipe in half for us 4 but next time I'm going to use the whole can of cream of mushroom soup to make the sauce a little thicker. This recipe is a keeper. Another nice thing about it is that it only takes 30 minutes to bake. It's a quick and easy recipe.
Excellent !!!!!!!! I used left over chicken, broccoli and brown rice. I also used Chicken broth instead of milk. I also topped it with chedder cheese and Frenches Onion rings. My family loved it. I'll definately use it again and even make it for pot luck.
I altered the recipe a little, but it was very good, and I will make it again. I used about 2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which I pounded out to about .5 inches. (They completely covered the bottom of my 13x9 baking dish.) I sauteed one large onion and 1 tsp of Christopher Ranch minced garlic in butter and olive oil. I mixed that with one can of Cream of Chicken with Herbs soup plus the milk that the recipe calls for. I don't like mushy broccoli, so I took a fresh head of broccoli, peeled the stalks, and cut it into spears. I put two spears on each chicken breast. I poured the soup/onion mixture over everything and baked for about 45 minutes. I turned out perfectly! The broccoli got nice and roasted and wasn't mushy, and the onion mixture plus the herbs in the soup was very flavorful. The broccoli stalks were still kind of woody, so next time I will just get two broccoli crowns and leave the stalks off. I would also like to try this with fresh asparagus and red peppers.
My husband and son loved this dish. I used raw cubed chicken breast, mixed frozen vegetables instead of broccoli and egg noodles. I added a little more milk and some sour cream. Delish.
Delicious! I used green beans instead of broccoli, because I'm not too keen on broccoli. My chicken didn't quite bake all the way, we had to microwave it a little. But I'll just bake longer next time. May try with some cheese on top next time, too. I really liked how simple it was to put together.
It was pretty good for a quick weeknight last minute dinner. Would try again.

In 1982, when the Saints used their fourth round pick to take a Danish-born All-American from Michigan State, comparisons began almost immediately between Morten Andersen and the Texas kicker Russell Erxleben, who had been drafted in the first round 3 years earlier. When Andersen injured himself on his first ever kickoff, critics claimed another bust-kicker for the Saints.
In college he set a Big-10 record with 45 fieldgoals in a career and MSU records of 126 PATs and 261 points. He also hit a 63-yarder against Ohio State.
By his second season, all comparisons to Russell Erxleben were null and void.
After a 13 year career and 6 Pro Bowls with the Saints, he remains arguably the most successful kicker, if not player in New Orleans Saints History. Other than his injury, his rookie season was uneventful. But in 1983, he began to turn heads. His 41-yarder against Chicago gave the Saints their first ever overtime win. Against Philadelphia, he hit 2. One from 52 and the OT game winner in that one also from 50.
In 1985, he was named to the Pro Bowl after leading the NFC in scoring with 120 points. He was named to consecutive Pro Bowls in 1986, 1987 (led the NFL in Scoring-121 points), and 1988. He also made the Pro Bowl in 1990 and 1992.
In 1984 kicked the game winner against the Browns. In 1987 kicked the game winner against San Francisco. In 1988, on Monday night, hit a 49 yarder against Dallas to win on the last play of the game. In 1990, against the Rams, again on Monday night, hit a last second field goal that clinched the Saints their second wildcard berth. In 1991, he booted a 60 yarder against Chicago (second longest in NFL history). In 93, beat the 49ers with 5 seconds left (it was a 49 yarder), and in 1993, connected on a 40 yarder with 8 ticks on the clock to beat Atlanta. Also in 1993, add the third longest field goal in Saints history, 56 yards, against Philadelphia.
As if his time with New Orleans weren't enough, Morten proved he still had plenty of time left in him. Enough time to set the NFL records of most games played (354) and most consecutive games scoring (332).
As a Falcon, he made the Pro Bowl a 7th time (NFL record for a kicker) in 1995. Against our own Saints that year in December, he hit 3 fieldgoals over 50 yards in the game (also an NFL record). That year he hit a 59 yarder against San Francisco. He stayed in Atlanta until 2000, playing in Superbowl XXXIII (1999) kicking 2 fieldgoals and 1 xtra point. After Atlanta, he spent time with the Giants (2001), Kansas City (2002-2003) and Minnesota (2004).
Returning to the Falcons in 2006, he broke the All-Time Scoring record when he connected on the second of 4 extrapoints in a 28-38 loss to Dallas. He returned to Atlanta in 2007 and ended his 26th NFL season with 3 fieldgoals and 5 extra points against the Seattle Seahawks.
On November 6, 2009 he was inducted into the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame.
His off the field contributions include his "Kicks for Kids" program that raises money for Inner-city
hospitals and day cares. In 1990 was named "Outstanding Sports
Citizen of the Year" by the New Orleans Sports Foundation.

Contrary to what most gun forums state, this works excellent as a low cost range spotting scope. Yes, you really can see 22 (.223) holes very clearly using 60x zoom at 100 + yards. Glass is good (not $500 excellent). Works better than decent rifle scope (which it should). Much better than a great set of binoculars.Yes, you can fold over rubber eye piece extension for use with glasses, and it stays folded over. A must at higher zooms. Focus is smooth and precise throughout all zooms.60x max zoom works great and everything less than 60x is even that much better.Tripod is flimsy, but for tabletop use, shortest legs, it works fine at 60x if you assist it by steadying the little extra by hand. Getting a better tri-pod is probably a good idea, but hopefully you knew that before buying. Still usable as it is. Nice carry bag with Velcro straps to hold scope and tripod. Whole thing fits into my Midway Competition range bag.I thought if I didn't like it, return it, but it far exceeds all my expectations. Based on my scope experience, I only expected decent up to half it's rated max zoom, yet it is just as clear at 60x as it is at 20x, which is very clear.

Unfortunately, this product does not work very well. Its well known about the tripod being flimsy but I mounted it on a very good photography tripod that is extremely stable.What I didn't like was the eye relief as you have to be practically touching the lense just to see through it. Also, it let in a lot of light/glare from the back side which made for difficult viewing. Another problem is the focus. Even after playing with the focus adjustment for a while, it was still difficult to properly hone in on the target. At 60x magnification, it really seemed like there was a lot of bluriness on the target, especially on the edges. I took this out to a high school football field, measured out 100 yards, and used an official 100-yd sighting-in target that was tacked to a cardboard box. The sun was high in the sky with no shade for hundreds of yards in any direction on a cloudless day. I do not expect this scope to work any better at the rifle range which is where I had orginal planned to use it. I would stay away from this scope and spend the money on a better quality unit.

Best spotting scope for the price anywhe
By Ferics
from Arnold, CA
About Me High-end Shopper
Comments about Gordon 20-60 x 60mm Spotting Scope with Tripod:
I have a high end Russian spotting scope, but I often just grab this one when going to the range - particularly if shooting within 100 yard range or so. It is lighter and easier to set up. My shooting buddies have often commented that this works as well as their much more expensive scopes. Very clear optics. I didn't even try to use the tripod. I have 4 camera tripods and 4 sets of quick disconnect adaptors that I bought at a camera store, so I can use any of my optics on any of the tripods. (Note that, if you are going to do this, the quick disconnects are not standardized. Make sure you get the same brand if you have more than one or they may not fit together even if they look similar.)

EXCELLENT for the money.
By Johnny Dill the Zombie Slayer

About Me Midrange Shopper
This spotting scope is a great value! As long as you leave the tripod legs fully retracted and set it on a stable shooting bench, this scope works just fine, even when dialed up to 60X. I customized the tripod and made it quite stable. Of course, you get what you pay for but for this price, I am extremely impressed! The optics are clear and its focus works great. Highly recommended.

About Me Budget Shopper
For the money it is more than adequete. Tried it out at a park on a bluff overlooking a marina and was able to read boat licenses that I couldn't even see with the naked eye. I wouldn't really use the tripod for anything other than tabletop use.
Good scope, bad tripod
By David
from Lakewood, CA
The scope does well, object detail is easy to pick up, focusing was pretty easy, and adjusting the magnification is straight forward. The tripod is the main drawback of this. The scope shakes/vibrates too much when the legs of the tripod are fully extended and for someone as tall as I am (6'3") you need the tripod to be tall and rock solid. Even so, the price you pay for the scope is worth it, just plan on buying an upgraded tripod for it.

Good item
By Mike
from Lunenburg MA
Great scope for the money. The focus is not quite there at 60x 200 yards but hits are discernible. Other powers are fine. Think this is a good value and saves a lot of walking to the target.

By William S. Villafranco, Founder, Villafranco Wealth Management and Footprints in the Sand Foundation
Back in the early 90s, AIDS was on everyone's radar. It had become a crisis of mass proportion, poised to wipe out hundreds of thousands of people. At that time AIDS was the top priority issue, and bike rides, red ribbon sales and dance-a-thons raised millions of dollars with one goal: finding the cure for AIDS. Two decades later, that goal still has not been realized. While significant advances in treatment have been made, there remains an awful lot of work to be done.
A straight, private wealth manager from New Jersey might seem like an unlikely candidate to get involved in a charity bike ride to benefit New York City's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center. I have to credit one of my favorite client's daughters, Kit Opatut, who came to me raving about her internship at the Center and all of the good work that was going on there. She encouraged me to get involved by joining Cycle for the Cause, the Center's HIV and AIDS ride. I've done charity bike rides before, and have always wanted to make the trip from Boston to NYC, so I said sure, sign me up.
The physical demands of the ride were easy to anticipate, but I didn't expect to make such powerful connections with the other riders. They were people riding for themselves, for family members and for friends, all happy to talk with me about why they do this year after year. I wanted to know what was so special about the Center; why participate in this AIDS ride specifically? Over and over I heard the same answer: the Center literally saves peoples' lives.
One guy, Frank, who I had breakfast with every morning, shared with me that his father died of AIDS in the early 80s. Frank connected with the Center later in life when he came out, and again when he needed assistance overcoming substance abuse. Between the HIV and AIDS prevention programming and support services that could have helped his dad, and the helping hand that the Center extended to Frank during his darkest hour, he has seen the Center save lives – including his own. Frank opened my eyes to a community I never really knew and hadn't paid much attention to.
Others on the ride told me about the youth programing at the Center that gives kids a safe space where they can be themselves, and celebrate who they are, instead of hiding it. As the father of four very special daughters, who has also experienced the loss of a son, this hit home with me in a profound way. The Center and I share the commitment to creating a loving, supportive environment for children that allows them to grow surrounded by acceptance and happiness, instead of heartache.
In the space of three days and 275 miles, it gradually sank in that no one on this ride was any different from me. Maybe I wasn't technically a part of the LGBT community, but for those three days we were all part of something more than just a bike ride. I had joined a group on a mission – a mission to help keep the Center going, to be a part of securing that "home away from home" that the riders confirmed it is.
Frank made me care, so I made it my goal to get others to care. After a bit of legwork, I'm thrilled to say that I've helped secure $50,000 to support the Center, which pushes the Cycle for the Cause final tally well over $500,000. It's not often that a person gets to have a truly eye-opening experience, and this bike ride was one for me. Now I share the passion and vigor that everyone on the ride had for making sure that the Center is around for a long time to fight the good fight.

Great Games Releasing this Week.....I'm just looking forward to Ninja Gaiden 3 and RE: Racoon City....:D.....Why this video is related to "Paws & Claws" will always remain a mystery......?_? :P
my preoder of racoon city arrived earlier as for many ppl, campaign got 4 hours, with crap ending and also short multiplayer, am already exchanging it for ninja gaiden 3
Resident Evil and Silent Hill remake is definitely going into my gaming library.
@ComplexVariable Sigma 2 was tweaked to fix some of the cheap mechanics you ran into in the 360 version. Enemies shooting and throwing exploding shuriken at you from places you cannot see; the camera not being able to track enemies, etc... The first Ninja Gaiden's difficulty was brilliant because it was fair while being challenging. The second on the 360 was full of artificial difficulty made by cheap moments like that.
Reisdent evil: ORC. You get to kill one of your favorite video game characters....hell yeah, plus experience all the chao's from a new point of view.
I'm a fan of ninja gaiden, i love the quick fast action. I hope the game stays the same as the old one. Of course with new added gameplays. Yeah
@TrueProphecy22 ninja gaiden sigma 2 cheap? the game was great, challenging and perfect for anyone who likes fighting-games (not assisns creed bs)
"to all those 5 - 10 year old girls out there, your welcome" haha, funny. I like this guy who's narrirating this, he reminds me of Cave Johnson from Portal 2. If anyone knows who I'm talking about.
I'm getting resident evil, but not gonna lie, I'm also very exceited for Silent hill HD collection. Those games scared the crap out me when I was 8.
I had no idea Ninja Gaiden was releasing this month... I wonder if it'll be any good or if it'll be cheap like II.
OMG...I forgot about ninja gaiden...it will be the last game i get till the summer...so many games, so little time.
I'll be playing RE:ORC Upon release can't wait it looks awesome March 24th is my B-day and it looks to be a damn good B-day this year

Title: | Pathogenic Forms of Tau Inhibit Kinesin-Dependent Axonal Transport Through a Tau-Dependent Mechanism Involving Activation of Axonal Phosphotransferases |
Author(s): | Morfini, Gerardo; Kanaan, Nicholas; LaPointe, Nichole; Pigino, Gustavo; Patterson, Kristina R.; Song, Yuyu; Andreadis, Athena |
Abstract: | Aggregated filamentous forms of hyperphosphorylated tau (a microtubule-associated protein) represent pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies. While axonal transport dysfunction is thought to represent a primary pathogenic factor in AD and other neurodegenerative diseases, the direct molecular link between pathogenic forms of tau and deficits in axonal transport remain unclear. Recently, we demonstrated that filamentous, but not soluble, forms of wild-type tau inhibit anterograde, kinesin-based fast axonal transport (FAT) by activating axonal protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3), independent of microtubule binding. Here, we demonstrate that amino acids 2-18 of tau, comprising a phosphatase-activating domain (PAD), are necessary and sufficient for activation of this pathway in axoplasms isolated from squid giant axons. Various pathogenic forms of tau displaying increased exposure of PAD inhibited anterograde FAT in squid axoplasm. Importantly, immunohistochemical studies using a novel PAD-specific monoclonal antibody in human postmortem tissue indicated that increased PAD exposure represents an early pathogenic event in AD that closely associates in time with AT8 immunoreactivity, an early marker of pathological tau. We propose a model of pathogenesis in which disease-associated changes in tau conformation lead to increased exposure of PAD, activation of PP1-GSK3 and inhibition of FAT. Results from these studies reveal a novel role for tau in modulating axonal phosphotransferases and provide a molecular basis for a toxic gain-of-function associated with pathogenic forms of tau. |

Eva Castillo said she was uncertain if the tenant who rented her two-bedroom house about a year ago was from Honduras, Mexico, or somewhere else.
But, the landlord said the woman in her 50s had a food truck.
"She makes a living, so I didn't ask if she had her papers," Castillo said. "She said she was from Houston."
Castillo said that her tenant paid her $650 monthly rent on time, kept the yard well-maintained, and had flowers and other plants growing around the house in the 4300 block of Commercial on the city's South Side.
"I rented the house to this lady, and just her," Castillo said. "I saw the news and I said, 'what?'"
Castillo was shocked when she found out that an estimated 20 suspected illegal immigrants were discovered in her home on Saturday night during a raid by San Antonio police.
Castillo said she was worried people may think she was involved.
"I didn't know what she was doing," Castillo said.
But Castillo said late last year she noticed trucks coming and going, and what appeared to be several visitors for the holidays.
When asked about it, Castillo said the tenant told her they were relatives.
Castillo said her rental house was left trashed, with used bedding in the living room and two bedrooms and clutter upended throughout the small home that has only one bathroom.
"It's a mess. It stinks and everything," Castillo said. "I can't believe so many people were here."
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has not confirmed whether the tenant was among those taken into federal custody.
Landlord finds home trashed after weekend raid
At least 20 suspected illegal immigrants found in 2-bedroom house

If you are brand new at Swaha and especially if you are brand new to Yoga, the text bellow will help you get started. Welcome to Swaha and read on!!
Yoga class at Swaha will usually start and finish by chanting the sound OM. Why do we chant OM?
OM, the most important mantra of Yoga pictured above, is the root of all sounds and letters, and thus of all language and thought. It is the primordial sound or vibration from which all other sounds emerge. The vibration of sound "O" is generated deep within the body, and slowly brought upward to join the "M" which then resonates through the entire head. Mantra OM symbolizes levels of consciousness. The longer lower curve represents the dream state. The loop on the right stands for sleep without dreams, the upper curve stands for the waking state. The crescent shape is the veil of illusion, which projects this world we see. Above the veil is the dot that represents the transcendental state, free of all delusion, living in Truth-Consciousness-Bliss. In states of deep meditation, we recognize this state as our true Self, the state of Oneness or Union that we call Yoga. So chanting this mantra is symbolic - we join our voices as one and we are reminded of the intention of our practice. It is also energetic as the sound vibrations are felt both in our body - positively affecting the nervous system, and in the space - creating a soothing atmosphere.
Namaste is the most common greeting used at the end of the class and it means "The Divine in me salutes the Divine in you."
We can live without food and water for some time, but we cannot live without breathing for more than a few minutes. Proper breathing is the most important aspect of yoga for two reasons: to bring more oxygen to the blood and thus to all the vital organs including the brain; and to control and expand Prana, the vital energy. Our natural breathing is diaphragmatic breathing, also called deep breathing, or abdominal breathing. The way we breathe as babies. Belly rises up on inhale and falls down on exhale. This is supposed to happen gently and rhythmically. However, as we get older, due to stress or other factors, we forget how to breathe properly - breath becomes short and shallow. In most people it is just the chest that rises and falls with each breath, not the belly. At the beginning of your yoga journey you will first remember how to breathe again. You can practice by lying on your back with hands on your belly. On inhale watch the belly rise and expand, on exhale fall and contract. Breathing is done through the nose. Diaphragmatic breathing stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, relaxing the muscles, massaging the heart and the internal organs, and allowing more oxygen to flow through the body. Once you have "remembered" to breathe correctly, your teacher will introduce various breathing techniques such as ujayi, nadi shodan, kapalabhati, brahmari, etc. that are done either in combination with asana (body postures) or separately.
Asana refers to body postures that we do in yoga, but its original translation is "a comfortable and steady seat or attitude". We can see the double meaning of the word, referring to both the body and the mind. Yoga asana are designed to keep the body in a state of maximum physical fitness and to maintain optimum mental equilibrium. No two bodies in the world are identical, and not two Yoga poses will ever be the same. Stay in the pose only as long as you are comfortable and be slow and moderate in your movements. Still, even the most important component of an asana is breathing. The length of time that your asana is comfortable will vary from day to day and in yoga we ought to accept and honor that.
Final Relaxation
Final Relaxation is just as important as the practice of Asana. Being relaxed is our natural state and our birthright, but just as with breathing, the pace of our lives has made us forget. Relaxation is a tonic for the whole system, promoting good health, vitality and piece of mind. At the end of each Asana session there is a final relaxation that is either guided by the teacher or silent. It is actually in this relaxed state that the practices of Asana are being absorbed. Yoga practice will help you be more in touch with your body, more able to recognize tension and relaxation, thus bringing them under your conscious control.
This is all you need to know in the very start. The rest will come with practice. And remember that practice makes perfect! Enjoy your journey home .
"Practice and all is coming"
Sri K. Pattabhi Jois
If you are a real big nerd read on
HATHA - Hatha Yoga means the Yoga of Sun and Moon. It refers to solar, muscular, active energy and lunar, feminine, receptive energy in our bodies that need to be united for greater physical, emotional and spiritual balance and power. Hatha Yoga combines body postures (Asana) and breathing techniques (Pranayama), to eliminate stress and to strengthen & purify the system, allowing the mind to be more focused and centered. There are many styles of Hatha Yoga, such as Sivananda, Satyananda, Iyengar, Anusara, Astanga, etc.
MANTRA – Mantra Yoga refers to meditation techniques that use the vibration of sound to experience union with the Higher Mind. There are other methods of Meditation, also, using concentration on geometrical figures, such as Yantra Yoga, moving of energy within the body, such as Kundalini Yoga, and using the internal sounds arising within the Yogi's own body such as Laya Yoga.
KARMA – Karma Yoga is the yoga of selfless service. It purifies the heart and sublimates the ego as it teaches to act selflessly, without thought of gain or reward. One is detached from the fruits of his actions. Karma Yoga can be done every day, in one's everyday work, it is a service offered with no thought of personal gain. Swami Sivananda, Saint Francis of Assisi, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, etc. were all Karma Yogis.
BHAKTI – Bhakti Yoga is yoga of devotion. Through prayer, worship and ritual, bhakti yogi surrenders himself to the Divine through unconditional love and devotion. Chanting or singing is a substantial part of Bhakti Yoga. Bhaktas are filled with the Love and Joy and see the Divine in everything. Increasing tolerance, love and acceptance of others is what Bhakti Yoga is built upon.
JNANA – Jnana Yoga is the yoga of knowledge and wisdom. It is the most difficult path, as it requires tremendous strength of will and intellect. Jnana yogi uses his mind to inquire into its own nature; he discriminates between the reality and meaning behind the illusions and delusions of life. Before practicing Jnana Yoga, one needs to have integrated the lessons of the other yogic paths, as selflessness and strong body and mind are the prerequisites for the search of self-realization.
RAJA – Raja Yoga is often called the "royal path" as it offers a complete method for controlling the mind waves. The main practice of Raja Yoga is meditation. It is based on Ashtanga (8-limbed) Yoga of Patanjali: Yamas (non-violence, truthfulness, personal continence, non-stealing and non-covetousness), Niyamas (purity, contentment, austerity, scriptural study, surrender of ego), Asana (steady and comfortable pose), Pranayama (control and expansion of the Life force through breath), Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses), Dharana (concentration), Dyhana (meditation), & Samadhi (complete spiritual absorption, union with the Divine).
These are all different paths to the same goal. Yoga is the experience of Union. It begins with harmonizing your body, mind and spirit. Calm, harmonious breathing leads to calm and harmonious mind. When we have connected all parts of ourselves into one being, one entity, we feel more connected to all living things and to the whole universe.

Note that just like its predecessor, OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" does not support "Rosetta" and cannot run older Mac OS X software written for the PowerPC processor. Those who need older software should instead consider Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard."
Hackintosh tutorials for OS X 10.7 "Lion" still may be of interest for compatibility with additional hardware, whether system components themselves or third-party peripherals:

Hackintosh Compatible Computers, Parts & Drivers Listings
You can't just install OS X on any old PC and expect it to work like it does on a Mac. Let's face it, given the vast assortment of configurations, you can't install Windows on any old PC and expect it to work like OS X does on a Mac. Fortunately, many have experimented with Mac OS X on a wide variety of PC hardware and have shared their findings with the world.
The following listings of Hackintosh compatible computers, parts, motherboards and drivers (kexts) should be helpful:
OSx86 Project - The original wiki that lists desktop and notebook computers, as well as parts, that are compatible with a variety of versions of Mac OS X.
DSDT Database - A database of "Differentiated System Description Tables" to make many motherboards from Asrock, ASUS, EVGA, Gigabyte, Intel and MSI "aware" of Mac OS X. In turn, this is promised to make it possible for the operating system to "utilize more of your hardware" -- from tonymacx86 (registration required).
Kakewalk Compatible Motherboards - A list of motherboards compatible with the Kakewalk software application designed to make it easy to install Mac OS X on select systems. The same site also has recommended computer builds that may be of interest.
OSx86.net - A database of official and unofficial Mac OS X drivers from the Dutch Hackintosh community.
Hackintosh Compatible Notebooks - A listing of select notebooks from HP, Lenovo, Acer, and ASUS that are mostly compatible with OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" courtesy of MacBreaker.
Mac OS X Netbook Compatibility Chart - This Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" compatibility chart of dozens of netbooks from myMacNetbook.com can be particularly useful for those interested in "legacy" Mac OS X use.
Hackintosh Support Communities
There are a number of vibrant and active communities that focus on helping one another to configure, build, and troubleshoot Hackintosh systems. Notable Hackintosh communities such as the following may be useful to you:
Hackint0sh.org | Hackintosh.org | InsanelyMac | Reddit HACKintosh |
Tonymacx86 | OSXLatitude | Kakewalk | iATKOS |
Before posting a message in any of these forums, it always is good form to first search and see whether or not your question has been addressed previously. Those who do not do so can expect to be dismissed as "noobs" or ignored.
Hackintosh Installation & Usability Videos
The following videos demonstrate the installation process of OS X 10.9 "Mavericks," OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion," OS X 10.7 "Lion," Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" and Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" on PC hardware. Some videos also cover compatible hardware selection as well as software installation.
This video -- courtesy of Roche Technology -- explains how to install OS X 10.9 "Mavericks " using Chimera, MultiBeast, and the "ShowHiddenFiles" app. This instructional video is particularly useful for anyone who wants to install a "plain vanilla" version of Mavericks and have a solid understanding of the underlying process.
This video -- from YouTube's Duncan33303 -- covers needed hardware as well as how to install OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" using commonly available software tools.
This video -- from Aibal Tech Report -- provides hardware recommendations, how to install OS X 10.7 "Lion" with third-party software hacks, and tips to manage a Hackintosh for improved reliability and performance.
This video -- from videographer Matthew Mintun -- recommends hardware for those interested in a high-performance Hackintosh tower and covers the Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" installation process with the iBoot and MultiBeast applications. The author also provides a companion blog post that can be helpful as well.
The Dell Mini 9 was regarded widely as one of the first netbooks that was ideal for a Hackintosh as it was both easy to perform the transformation and the hardware was highly compatible as well.
Although this model has long since been discontinued, these videos -- from Michael Smith and Andy Ihnatko, respectively -- provide the general installation procedure of Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" on a netbook and an in-depth look at the compatibility and usability of the operating system on the same 'book.

If you know of better dinner rolls than these, we'd like to hear about them. This is the recipe our mom has been using for as long as we can remember and the rolls turn out light, fluffy and very, very white. Everything a basic dinner roll should be. Great for sopping up red sauce or eating with soup, we are seriously smitten with these rolly-poly guys.
We've said it before and we'll say it again, do not fear the yeast. Yeast breads are not only carbo-delicious, but they make you feel productive when you're really doing nothing more than letting dough rise in a warm corner of your kitchen.
Give The Best Dinner Rolls a whirl. And just try to stop yourself from gobbling them straight from the oven.
Rating: Truly 1/2 assed
Here's what you need and how you do it
3-1/2 to 3-3/4 cups all purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup shortening or butter, softened 2 teaspoons salt 1 package regular or quick acting active dry yeast 1/2 cup very warm water (120-130 degrees) 1/2 cup very warm milk (120-130 degrees) 1 egg Mix 2 cups of the flour, the sugar, shortening, salt and yeast in medium bowl. Add warm water, warm milk and egg. Beat on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased medium bowl and turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until double. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.) Punch down dough. Form dough into balls. Brush with margarine. Cover and let rise about 30 minutes or until double. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake 12 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.

Sep 16, 2013This prison turned hotel is completely gorgeous from every angle! Perfect location for visiting the sights with Hagai Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace only steps away.

Aug 27, 2013This former prison has been converted into one of the most luxurious hotels I have ever seen.
It is within a 5 minute walk of all of the most important historical monuments that Istanbul has to offer.
It was sold out when I visited but it felt like I had the whole place to myself.
There are many bars that are almost hidden that overlook both The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
The main restaurant in the garden has glass walls and is so perfect surrounded by flowers.
There is even the original mosque refurbished to FS standards.
The service is impeccable, exactly what you expect from a Four Seasons. - Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at SultanahmetElan NoelleMember ofLocal CultureOutdoor EnthusiastsBudget Travelers+ 4

Oct 23, 2013From the moment I walked in, with the heady aroma of lilies to welcome me, I knew this hotel and I would get along. You would never guess at its former prison identity, if it weren't for the staff pointing out old initials carved in the marble columns. Currently, the exquisite décor, elegant furnishings, Turkish art, and excellent service have transformed this into an absolute oasis, right in the heart of the Old City. The fitness room is large, with a spread of refreshments to reenergize after a workout, and his and hers saunas to melt in. I loved the Blue Room, a quiet, serene room for relaxing or enjoying a game or book. The restaurant is enclosed with large windows, letting in plenty of light to enjoy your meal by, and the lounge is a perfect place to enjoy a drink to the melody of the piano. There just isn't any competition for this hotel in the Sultanahmet area!

First to ReviewJul 04, 2012Fantastic. Rooms are on the small side but the location and views from this property are spectacular. If you are in Istanbul to see the historical sights, this is the best part of town to be in and the Four Seasons is THE place to stay.
Decor is lovely, service is top notch, and the food and beverage at the property are excellent. The hotel itself is a converted prison -- what a great place it would be to serve a life sentence.
- Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at SultanahmetTerry GardnerJan 02, 2013
Unlike the hotels that embrace their notorious past, the Four Seasons doesn't really highlight its prior incarnation as a Turkish prison. But the hotel preserved some of the architectural features including the courtyard watchtowers and the prison's original wooden doors.
- Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmetworld roverDec 23, 2012
For each of my trips, I always eat at one of the city's leading restaurants. For Istanbul, it was the Four Seasons in Sultanahmet. Expensive, yes! But the meal was one I'll never forget. You might google the Four Seasons; I suspect the menu will be listed on their website. The hotel has an interesting background. Once a prison and converted to a hotel about 10 years ago, it was the backdrop for the movie "Midnight Express."
- Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at SultanahmetCeylan MenemenliDec 18, 2012
This is an Ottoman era jail house converted to a hotel by Four Seasons... Even if you don't stay here... visit around 5.00 pm for an afternoon tea ... or later for a drink on the roof terrace (in the summer time)
lovely hotel with a character... - Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet
- Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at SultanahmetCaitlin MilesJul 05, 2012
The Four Seasons in Sultanahmet is absolutely incredible! It is in one of the nicer and quieter areas of Sultanahmet. During my visit I learned that the hotel is housed in a late 19th century Ottoman prison. The lobby and rooms are wonderful! Anatolian carpets line the halls and rooms. All the rooms have large comfy beds and a sitting area. I felt more like I was at home than in a hotel. One of my favorite features was the steam bath! It's like having a personal hamam in your room! While the standard rooms are wonderful, the deluxe room, which used to be the prison warden's office, is spectacular! This two floor room is more like a small apartment than hotel room! Another great aspect is the courtyard which is filled with greenery and a gazebo where you can enjoy a lovely lunch, or evening drink. There are three terraces, one with a view of the Marmara Sea, one of the cobble stone streets of the neighborhood, and one of the Haghia Sophia. All in all, if you want a luxurious stay in Istanbul's old city, this is the place to stay!

The Preservation Resource Center has been revitalizing neighborhoods and rebuilding New Orleans for over three decades. After Hurricane Katrina, our charge is even stronger. Thank you for donating today to help us restore the unique character of our city that is known and loved around the world.
The Preservation Resource Center is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our tax identification number is 72-0760857.
click here to view the Association of Fundraising Professionals Donor Bill of Rights
Since 1988, Rebuilding Together New Orleans (RTNO) has been a key program of the Preservation Center of New Orleans. Our success depends on the passion and skills of volunteers and staff from across the United States who work together to improve low income homeowners' quality of life through home repair. We focus primarily on the homes of the elderly, the disabled and single parents with minor children, for whom extensive home repair is often unaffordable.
Our services are provided at no cost to homeowners, with projects ranging from quality of life repairs, such as wheelchair ramps and grab bars, to full home renovations, floor to ceiling. With your donation, our work creates a visible difference every day in the lives of our neighbors, while revitalizing our communities in the continued recovery efforts of post-Katrina New Orleans.
click here for more information on Rebuilding Together New Orleans
The Preservation Resource Center's Operation Comeback program promotes the purchase, renovation and sale of vacant historic properties. Started in 1987, as a focused effort to revitalize the Lower Garden District, Operation Comeback rapidly expanded and now works with dozens of neighborhood associations and community development corporations citywide. By acquiring and renovating blighted and adjudicated properties that most would consider hopeless, Operation Comeback provides homes for first-time and repeat homebuyers, serving as a catalyst for the rebirth of New Orleans' historic neighborhoods. In the effort to put as many properties back into the hands of families as possible, Operation Comeback has developed several ways for many to become involved. The OC Revolving Fund, Adopt-a-House program and the Rebuilding Communities Programme / Building Crafts Apprentices all allow individuals, organizations, foundations and corporations to aid in the renovation or construction of homes through donations and volunteering, and education.
