Educational Excursions
Please note that in order to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, program excursions may occasionally vary.
"It really helped that we were able to see these sites firsthand because now I am able to visualize where key events took place in Irish history. It's like opening up a history textbook and instead of listening to a lecture in a classroom, you are able to jump in and take a look for yourself."
Mina Won
Field excursions to different areas in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland generate an understanding of the issues characterizing each region and of the social, economic, and ethnic tensions that can trigger social breakdown. The excursions bring to life the complex issues discussed in lectures and seminars and also provide an opportunity to apply concepts and field study methods.
Mayo (West of Ireland)
The program undertakes a one-week rural excursion to a remote northwest corner of County Mayo, where Irish Gaelic is still widely spoken. Students experience rural life and a case study in environmental conflict.
The excursion features meetings with local residents involved in farming, fishing, teaching, environmental conservation, and rural development as well as representatives of a multinational corporation. These engagements provide students with different perspectives on the locating of a gas refinery in a previously undeveloped area.
Students gain an understanding of the social and political complexities of environmental conflict, the politics of resistance, and nonviolent direct action.
Read one student's reflection on the gas line conflict.
Northern Ireland
- County Armagh. Crossing the border into South Armagh, students encounter an area with a reputation for rebellion: from the saga of the mythical warrior hero Cuchulainn to more recent memories of resistance and army surveillance. Students engage with local residents, explore the countryside, and hear traditional music during an overnight stay in a border village. They visit Armagh city, the religious capital for both Roman Catholic and Protestant churches, and meet representatives of the Orange Order in the rural cottage that was the birthplace of the organization.
- Belfast. Belfast is a vibrant city with a young student population and thriving social life. Students explore Belfast's distinct neighborhoods, memorable murals, sectarian divisions, and peace walls and meet with political activists, ex-prisoners, community leaders, and elected representatives in the Stormont Parliament.
- Corrymeela Centre for Reconciliation . Located on windswept cliffs on the northeast coast, the center has played a key role in healing relationships from the early days of the Troubles. Students explore creative approaches to conflict in an active program of adventure learning and teambuilding with an international team of young people. The journey from Belfast to Corrymeela, along the breathtaking Antrim coast, allows students to visit beaches and local sites including the Giant's Causeway, a World Heritage site.
Londonderry/Derry. Derry presents unique perspectives on conflict and conflict transformation in the Irish context. Students explore the walled city, visit groups involved in truth recovery, community-based youth projects, and creative peacebuilding initiatives, in a community scarred by the legacy of violence, especially in the aftermath of Bloody Sunday.
- Aran Islands. The program ends on Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands, described by the poet Seamus Heaney as "the window ledge of Europe". Students explore the ancient cliff-top forts and early Christian churches in the company of a local guide.
Duration: 15 weeks
Program Base: Dublin
Prerequisites: None. Coursework in and/or personal commitment to peace and conflict studies is strongly recommended. Read more...

"Have You Seen This Wizard?"Movies
November 07, 2003, 05:17 AM
TLC reader ixchelmala has forevermore earned the title of SuperSpyIxhcelmala. After seeing a display of a Sirius "wanted poster" at a nearby movie theater, she returned with her camera for a spy mission and got us some first-look pics. The standups aren't photos, they're lenticular - sort of like a hologram - so that at one angle Sirius is in the picture and at another he's gone. As a result in these pics he's half there and half gone. Ghostly. (I actually think it looks pretty cool.) But you can see Sirius' Azkaban mugshot nameplate (with the runic symbols and all):
Have you Seen this Wizard?(Note below it says: "Approach with extreme caution. Do not attempt to use magic on this man.")
(Half-size version)
The entire display - The paper on top is a Brooms for Sale Bill, and the paper below is an Owls price sheet.

We're going to be in New York over New Year's and are thinking of doing the stereotypical thing and going to Times Square. What time should we be getting there to get a decent vantage point? Does access to the square get shut off and if so, what time? Is there anything else we should be aware that differs from going to Times Square at any other time of the year?

Travel Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for road warriors and seasoned travelers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
To get a decent vantage point you should probably get into a restaurant like Olive Garden on Times Square or some similar, menu is not that fancy but the location is great and you might want to reserve the seat by the glass now.
Generally it used to be that to get a place by the fence you will need to be on Times Square the morning of the 31st (times have varied).
Last year the police had shut off all access in or out of Times Square around 9pm that means that from 9pm to about 1am you cannot walk in, or even take a train into Times Square, but this varies year to year based on the crowd expectation.
Just so it is better explained here is the FAQ from the Times Square Alliance explaining schedules and locations.

SOURCE Digital 4th
Well over 80% of Nevada voters support protecting emails and online communications from government intrusion
WASHINGTON, June 11, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following the one year anniversary of the Snowden leaks and revelations of the NSA snooping online, the Digital 4th coalition unveiled poll results showing overwhelming support for strengthening privacy rights online. Well over 80% of voters in Nevada--88%--support updating the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), an outdated federal law that sets standards for government access to email and online communications. Vox Populi Polling surveyed 476 active voters in Nevada with a margin of error at +/- 4.5%, which also found that the overwhelming majority of those surveyed were more likely to vote for a candidate who supports ECPA reform.
ECPA was enacted into law in 1986, long before most Americans had email. As written, the law grants the government unwarranted access to Americans' private emails, photos, documents and even social media stored for more than 180 days. Reforming this antiquated law is necessary and long overdue, a sentiment the majority of voters support.
"There is a rare, overwhelming and incredibly diverse consensus among voters that ECPA needs to be updated. These levels of support are nearly unheard of in politics today. And what may be even more remarkable than the consensus is the consistency of this support regardless of gender, age, race or party affiliation. All candidates should note that this issue carries power whether they are involved in general election races or primary campaigns," said Brent Seaborn of Vox Populi Polling.
"Updating ECPA is a unique issue that has brought together Republicans, Democrats and Independents. At this time of heightened concern about privacy, Congress has an opportunity to demonstrate to Americans that it cares about their privacy. Legislation is pending in the House and Senate. We all agree that the law limiting government surveillance is woefully outdated and needs to be modernized for the 21st century. Now is the time for Congress to act," said Jim Dempsey, Vice President for Public Policy at the Center for Democracy & Technology, a member of the Digital 4th coalition.

I definitely don't want to play in a treasure/hack and slash/experience farming group; I'd much rather be in a group where people develop their characters, not their character sheets. Going out and dungeon crawling just because that's what you do isn't appealing either - I like a strong, consistent story that gives characters a reason to care about the outcome other than getting paid. This also includes 'kill the orcs because they're evil,' 'obey the king because he's blond and good,' and 'oh noes! Evil people who want to kill everything are afoot!' stories. Can we have a little nuance in our plots please? Because I'm new to most DnD settings I don't have any particular favorites, other than I don't want to play 4th edition. Tried it, didn't like it, sticking with 3.5 thanks. About Me Biography: Like 90% of you, I've been gaming since I was a kid, playing PnP, tabletop wargames, computer games, and hitting people in costumes with sticks. I'm getting back into PnP because after becoming utterly annoyed with the terrible roleplaying online I remembered, oh yeah, there's an alternative. My past games have been once a week, but I'm open to two games a week if I just can't pick, though realistically what are the odds of finding two irresistible games in my area? That's what I thought.

With many visitors in town during Masters Week, Washington
Road has turned into one big tailgate.
However, our guests should be cautious, as Richmond
Country deputies are keeping a close watch out for open containers.
Sergeant Mark Chestang is one of many officers who are
responsible for keeping the peace during the Masters and making sure people do
not drink and drive.
"It's about being
visual," Chestang said. "If you see someone who has had too much to drink,
stopping them before they get in the vehicle."
Chestang says that many visitors are not aware of Augusta's
open containers laws, which prohibit any driver or passenger from having an
open container or any alcohol from being within reach.
"You might not even be drunk but the potential to get
drunk is there if you have that open container," warned Chestang. "With a higher
volume of traffic, and all these visitors in town, the last thing you want is
someone to get hurt over an impaired driver."
Sergeant Chestang said that Richmond County also works
with the local restaurants to prevent visitors from leaving their premises with
alcoholic beverages. One of those restaurants is Somewhere in Augusta on
Washington Road. During the evenings a deputy sits by the door to make sure the
rules are enforced.
Cindy Fiske, owner of the 12-year-old restaurant, said
guests usually listen when informed of the rules. She hasn't seen any problems
during Masters Week.
"People will get
up and try to go out the front door and smoke with their bottles and we just
stop them and say you gotta come back in, no open containers outside," said
While there hasn't been much mayhem during the first two
days of practice rounds, officials say simple precautions can help prevent
trouble and keep everyone safe.

Raising the Dead on Xbox One: Dead Rising 3 Preview and Interview Feature
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 03:50pm 05/07/13 | Comments
We take an in-depth look at the Xbox One exlcusive, Dead Rising 3. A launch title that takes full advantage of Microsoft's next-gen console. Read on for more...
The one thing I remember that annoyed me most about Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2's set-up was constantly being called in-game by the various characters who helped direct you to survivors and trouble. On paper the concept is sound, contextually giving you the sort of direction to progression other games tend to struggle with, but like the incessant calls from your 'friends' in GTA IV, it just became annoying and distracting.
This is, in part, due to the nature of the UI setup. You had to stop what it was you were doing to answer the call, breaking your in-game stride. Now, however, with the companion app revolution Dead Rising 3 will add to your overall immersion, by having your physical real-world phone or tablet utilised as an external UI. This opens up a lot of value for expanded co-op, I know I'll likely play with my wife, or her me, in this way with one of us manning the phone, so to speak, and watching the ever-present ticker running, pointing out events and places of interest for side-quests and more. Oh, and you can call in drones and airstrikes, and your physical device will ring too. That's some cool shit right there.
Dead on Arrival (on PC)Of course you're not locked into playing the game this way and can utilise an in-game UI on your own, or manage SmartGlass on your own, the above is just one of the ways I'm thinking of playing Dead Rising 3. Thankfully the team at Capcom Vancouver (formerly Blue Castle Games) are thinking of you as a player, and the choices you might want to make in approaching your own playstyle. It's an important factor bolstered by the fact that they're gamers too, and every decision they've made from a design-perspective has stemmed from that single sentiment alone.
Dead Rising 3 was such an ambitious undertaking from the team at planning stages that it almost wound up on PC only.
"We targeted high-end PC at the start, and then we partnered with [Microsoft] and started trying to figure out how we can get this on console. When we started this years ago we knew we wanted to push the bar and just go as far as we could."I can hear a chorus of foreheads smashing keyboards now... but perhaps this is an indication that Xbox One has some chops to it, after all.
"It was actually intentional right from the outset," says executive producer Josh Bridge when we ask him about the game's new, darker tone. "We talked and discussed this a lot with Capcom Japan [and] we wanted to make a game where you weren't just repeating the same formula of time running out. We found it frustrating as gamers even when we were playing Dead Rising 1 and there's so much of that game we loved that we wanted to just explore in... but we didn't want to just say "okay, there's no time-limit", you know, we did that with [Dead Rising:] Off the Record and found that yeah, it was cool, but there's so much to do other than trying to do constant side-missions. [So] we actually wanted to have zombies be the threat -- it felt like zombies should be the star of a zombie game, whereas it kind of felt like they were [always] just a toy.
"So if we're going to say they should be the threat, then they should look threatening and the game should look threatening, and it all should show a line to that vision that this is actually a horror game first and a comedy game second."
It's interesting to have flipped the script like this, and you could argue that Inafune's original vision which pitted humans as the real horror and indeed zombies as the toy, treated both horror and comedy with an equal amount of respect, but Capcom Vancouver realised that after two games and all the content in between, the threat had just died. How many times can you put a traffic cone on a zombie's head before the humour wears off?
SmartZombie"When we ended with Off the Record it was a comedy game first with kinda horror and you didn't really take it seriously for that and there wasn't a lot of investment in the AI of the zombies perse; you could do some distraction but they weren't really that much of a threat," Josh continues. "So with [all of that] we wanted to make sure it had this really dark look to it; a little more tough look to it, so when you actually evoke that comedy -- which is still in there, even more so than ever for what you have as options -- the two coming together is almost like you're photobombing the game.
While things like Kinect and SmartGlass might have seemed gimmicky upon reveal, Capcom Vancouver is arguably at the fore where their inclusion -- in a creative and contextual -- manner is concerned.
"SmartGlass allows you to just set your destinations, you can use it as a map if you want but it actually has a whole bunch of other features like exclusive missions, a voice is talking to you... and it's [all] just coming out of SmartGlass. It actually has its own storyline with you."
"It's a classic horror, it's not a contemporary horror -- it kind of stays within that 80s vibe, so then that juxtaposition is now all the more strong."
Dead Rising 3 is set some 10 years after the events of Dead Rising 2 and we come into the picture three days post-breakout. You play as hapless mechanic Nick Ramos who works and resides in the city of Los Perdidos -- a fictional town constructed for the purpose of Capcom Vancouver's grand zombie playground vision. We're told there's no repeating or cut-and-paste level design here at all -- everything is handcrafted and designed with purpose. The game-world is large enough that you could fit the playspaces of Dead Rising 1 and 2, combined, in Los Perdidos and still have room for more. But perhaps most impressive is that DR 1 and 2 had loading between areas where Dead Rising 3 has none. Not a single one, apparently.
"There are no load screens, it's running all the time and it took us years to do," the team tells us.
The construction of such a large set for the player and his zombie ensemble hasn't excluded purists of the franchise. Initially we're told that you play the game at a pace that suits you, but when probed about culling the time-limits of previous iterations, Josh explains that that's just not the case.
Scream and Shout"So we actually have two modes," he explains. "We purposely built a non time-restrictive mode and a completely time-restrictive mode -- both following the same storyline. So if you want to, it'll completely hand your ass to you with Nightmare Mode where the time-limit is going to be pushing you along a schedule -- you're gonna have to meet and finish the missions at a certain time or you're going to miss them; you're gonna miss the optional content; you're going to run out of time -- a bomb is gonna likely nuke the whole area.
Finally, Capcom Vancouver has a unique use for Kinect by way of voice-recognition. Basically, you can create an audiovent in the room to attract zombies by yelling or screaming. This can have both a positive and negative effect: One is you can crowd-control zombies with your voice, and two is if you're hit with a cheap scare and scream, you'll attract zombies to you. Either way, the application is solid. Now if only Microsoft could greenlight Illumaroom.
"You can only save in Washrooms and it [just] keeps that classic pressure," he adds with a smile. "But if you wanna have the freedom to explore... we have a bigger world and there's even more stuff to do in it than any other Dead Rising, and if you want that and to take it all at your own leisure, that's there for you. You can even hop between both modes if you want -- it all goes to the one profile and saves all your experience points."
Despite the darker tone and shift in zombie relevance, Dead Rising 3 carries with it some familiarity. PP is back, and allows you to unlock various Perks and raise in skill and ability. You'll still need to rescue NPCs, but it's not as much of a frustration now because the team, as gamers, recognised how annoying the whole system could be and given the raised challenge of the game's undead lurching impediments, they're actually helpful now.
"Survivors aren't just escort missions and babysitting, if you complete and help them out they're gonna offer to help you out now," Josh reveals. "And now they'll just fight to their death with you. You can direct them and give them perks and, actually, with the Kinect, we got it to detect your finger pointing which actually evokes a cursor in the game and you can just say "attack" instead of multiple button inputs."
The other major carry over is, of course, weapon and item customisation. Workbenches are gone, because as a mechanic Nick can use his skills on-the-fly and out in the field, which allows for a more freeform approach to confrontation and being a "survivor". You'll still need blueprints to be able to construct your zompocalypse tools, and early on you'll need the exact ingredients but through the game's levelling system you can unlock the ability to substitute certain ingredients for others found within the world (blades, for example). Moreover anytime you've picked up a weapon, or an item, they'll now appear in a weapons locker in a safe house, and these are littered all over the world. This was a design feature to streamline the fetching side of the previous games, where you had to remember each weapon or item's location, often hamstringing the exploration side of things.
Vehicles make a return in expanded fashion, which was exampled in spectacular form with a Sunday drive through a graveyard in a hearse. Capcom Vancouver not only hand-crafted every inch of their game-world, they made much of it destructible too. This was all in an effort to alleviate the frustrations of hitting impervious light poles and the like, but given the stylistic dive they make Nick perform from the hearse as it drives into a petrol station, which explodes ceremoniously on impact, I'd venture they had a grander vision for emergent cinematic play.
The most exciting prospect of all though, comes in their redirection of the undead. Making zombies a threat beyond overcrowding is something of a revelation for the series, and while their zombies still remain a part of the Dead Rising lore with zombees still located at the base of various undead necks, they've also changed up their personalities. Muscle memory is how they explain different enemy types, suggesting that police or firefighters will instinctively fire weapons or swing axes, respectively. The firefighters are also tougher, as would be the outline for their profession, which opens up ideas about different zombie types we might run into later. Soldiers, boxers, electricians, ninjas!? There's really a lot of potential in this department.
As an Xbox One launch title and an exclusive one at that, Dead Rising 3 is likely a must-have. Its feature-set alone is enough to maintain countless hours of play, and the inclusion of companion app support throws in potential for off-handed co-op. Add companion app-specific tasks and missions with in-game unlocks and rewards, and this one addition alone adds a whole new dimension to play, but the team's thoughtful and creative use of Kinect elevates the game's outside-the-box approach to what many still consider a gimmick immeasurably. But at its core, Dead Rising 3 is a game built for harcore gamers by hardcore gamers. I witnessed the passion Capcom Vancouver has for its product firsthand and it was infectious, but only because the wares they're peddling are so damned tantalising. I can't wait to visit sunny, undead Los Perdidos this November.

It's always a treat to come upon a new author and a new
archaeology-based mystery series; it's downright exciting when that
author proves to be a very talented writer and the mystery proves to be
intriguing and very compelling. Ruth Galloway is a near-middle aged, not
very glamorous forensic archaeologist who teaches at the University of North
Norfolk, who is called upon by the local police to help identify the remains
of a small person in the tidal salt marsh bordering the sea. The
police—particularly Detective Chief Inspector Harry Nelson—has been nearly
obsessive in a ten-year old cold case search for a missing little girl named
Lucy Downey. Nelson believes their search may be sadly over but needs
Ruth's forensic skills to aid them in identification.
The remains turn out to be those of a little girl—but
she appears to have been dead for some 2,000 years—possibly a sacrificial
offering to the Iron Age gods of that remote location on the English coast.
Ruth and DCI Nelson seem not particularly fond of each other at first—he has
a built in wariness of academics, it would seem—but a bond of trust does
build and he confesses that his obsession is fueled by a series of letter he
has received over the years—letters that seem to provide arcane clues to the
whereabouts of Lucy, but also designed to frustrate his efforts by their
very opaqueness. Then a second little girl, Scarlet Henderson, goes missing
and a tortured Harry Nelson entrusts the letters to Ruth and she notes for
him that along with references to ritual and sacrifice and the maddeningly
obscure statement that the body may be found "where the earth meets the
sky," they also include quotes and paraphrases from the Bible, Shakespeare,
t.s. eliot, and Norse, pagan and Greek mythology, along with technical terms
used almost exclusively by archaeologists. Ruth believes the Saltmarsh
holds the secret to the missing girls and she is drawn into the present day
mystery of the missing girls just as she is drawn into the mystery of the
Iron Age burial—which is compounded when a second 2,000 year old burial is
discovered in the backyard of Scarlet Henderson's home!
The Saltmarsh itself becomes a key "character" in the
novel in a most intriguing way. A decade earlier, a young Ruth Galloway
worked on the excavation of a henge circle—a circular bank surrounded by a
ditch that served as a ritual space in pre-historic times—in the Saltmarsh.
Because of this dig, she fell in love with the rugged and remote landform of
the marsh and moved into a home there. The Saltmarsh also provided her with
bittersweet memories of a love affair with a fellow crew member and an
unrequited romantic passion for her mentor and excavation director, Erik
Anderssen. The stormy, unsettled weather of the Saltmarsh during mid-winter
provides an eerie and unsettling environment—its tidal pools, sinkholes and
quicksand threaten to swallow up those who wander out on its vastness just
as the mystery of the missing girls threaten swallow up all those who
participated in that dig a decade earlier—at the same time that Lucy Downey
disappeared—as well as DCI Nelson.
When all of the principle players in that henge circle
excavation begin to return to Ruth's world—including her former mentor, her
former lover and a mysterious would-be New Age druid who appears to have
been constantly on the periphery of not only the henge circle dig but the
family of the missing Scarlet Henderson, she begins to wonder if she can
trust anyone. Then, while under a loose form of protective custody because
Harry Nelson fears she may be in grave peril as the investigation gains
momentum, she receives an anonymous text message that reads: I know
where you are!
Elly Griffiths weaves a mystical adventure, seamlessly
linking police and archaeological investigatory techniques, and a final
denouement that leaves the reader virtually breathless. The personalities
she has created are drawn with a deft pen and there is a depth to her
characters—particularly Ruth and Harry Nelson—that make them believable and
sympathetic—even when they may behave in not particularly admirable
Four trowels for this, the first Ruth Galloway
mystery—and I would assign more if I could. This is a must read!

National Air and Tribal Information
Region 5 is committed to protecting the health of the people and the environmental resources in Indian Country, while supporting tribal self-government, fulfilling the Federal trust responsibility, and strengthening government-to-government relations between tribes and the EPA.
The Tribal Authority Rule authorizes "treatment of an Indian tribe in the same manner as states" for tribes to implement EPA-approved Clean Air Act programs in Indian Country. Tribes may implement only those programs they wish, or even only the portions of programs that are most relevant to the air quality needs of the tribe. Eligible TAR tribes have the authority to develop Tribal Implementation Plans, which may impose air quality requirements in Indian Country that meet or exceed those defined in the CAA.
Region 5 administers CAA mandated programs in Indian Country in instances where a tribe does not wish to administer any or all provisions of these programs. The programs currently available for EPA's direct implementation include:
Title V Operating Permit
Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Construction Permit
New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)
Tribal Minor NSR
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
Attainment Status Designations
Compliance and enforcement
Where tribes choose to develop their own CAA programs, EPA identifies and provides resources, tools, and technical support that tribes need to develop and implement these programs.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Hello everybody, it has been a while since I've posted on here. Anyways, I wanted to post my cutting diet and see what you guys think. I am 26 years old, 6'2", and weigh about 232 lbs. I lift weights 3 times a week, and plan to ride my mountain bike 1-2 of the off days. I made this new diet, because I was on a keto diet, but had bad fat mal-absorption and couldn't handle it anymore. Here's my diet:
Omelette: 3 whole eggs, 1 oz cheddar cheese, 1 tbsp butter, veggies(spinach,shrooms,bell pepper,jalapeno,brocolli)
1 cup of quaker oats
1 cup of milk
1 scoop of Nitrean+
1 cup of quaker oats
Post Workout:
1 scoop of Nitrean+
1 cup of Quaker Oats
8oz Chicken Breast
1 cup of milk
1/2 and avocado
Evening Snack:
Can of Tuna
1 bag of steamed veggies(spinach,shrooms,bell pepper,brocolli)
1 scoop of Nitrean+
1/3 cup of walnuts
Approx:3100 calories
Protein: 247g
Carbs: 307g
Fat: 113g
Let me know what you think. Thanks
I would change the pre-pwo carbs to something fast acting like white rice, brown banana, or simply dextrose. I mean other then that if you lose your desired weight on those calories then go for it.
2000 or bust
Alright, thanks, I'll play around with the pre and post workout carbs.
Even better imo, is moving a part of the postworkout carbs to during the workout and combining them with BCAA's. This will give your body nutrients during training instead of waiting until you are done. You could then keep the oats and whey as a postworkout meal.
I would also add a fat source (Natural Peanut Butter or nuts) to your pre-workout meal. The slow digesting oats and the fats will make sure that you have sustained energy during your workouts.
I personally would also take out the dairy but that is a personal preference.
I personally like slightly lower carbs and higher protein but that is because carbs tend to make me hungry. As Stumprrp said, if the above diet is giving the results you are looking for then there is no need to change.
Also, the number of carbs seems pretty high based on what you are eating, but im not sure how big a cup serving is as i am not from the US.

Thanks for all of the information, Luna! I'm going to add more fat and carb sources to my pre workout now for energy. The diet does have a lot of carbs, I was thinking about reducing each 1 cup of oats by half, because I wanted to drop the total calories a little bit anways. Any reason as to why you would get rid of the dairy? Thanks again.
I myself am lactose intolerant so i dont have any dairy. You could keep it in if you prefer and when you are looking for cals to drop, then remove it.
I would definitely keep your calories centered around the workout. When looking to remove calories, i would start looking at meals as far away from your training first. Keeping your calories around your training will greatly help in recovery while you are in a calorie deficit.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — To the editor:
It seems inconceivable that it was 15 years ago this month that I left my position as the director of the AIDS programs at Health and Education Services.
Yet, even as the gay community has made great strides in its social progress and against the epidemic over the years, in recent years red flags have been going up within the gay men's community, especially among young men and men of color, that very few of the largely white, well to do, gay and lesbian political leadership of my generation seem to want to talk about.
I am referring to an alarming spike in new HIV infections among young gay men, many of whom were not even born when AIDS first emerged on the scene 32 years ago, and among gay men of color who, for a variety of cultural reasons, remain at significantly higher risk for infection than many of their white counterparts.
Many such men missed out on the highly effective prevention messages that did so much to slow the epidemic in the community back in the 1990s. Funding for prevention programs has also been cut drastically over the last decade and sometimes blunt but effective prevention messages were sacrificed on the altar of "abstinence only" politics in far too many places. But prevention messages began to be undermined beginning in the mid-1990s, when the first truly effective medications against HIV came on line and service providers began talking about the disease as a "manageable, chronic condition," not unlike diabetes.
I recall voicing my concerns at meetings about such language and the impact it might have on prevention efforts, especially among young people, be they gay or straight, during my final months on the job. Sadly, the evidence is mounting that those concerns were not only not misplaced, they actually underestimated the threat that redefining AIDS would ultimately pose in relation to prevention efforts.
That's because the rising infection rates among younger gay men and gay men of color are increasingly involving strains of HIV that have grown resistant to the drugs that, just a generation ago, were a Godsend to all people who'd become infected with the virus in the first decade and a half of the epidemic.
How widespread these drug resistant strains are is difficult to gauge, but it is clear they are very real and the implications for us all, gay or straight, are truly disturbing. But, as I said, many of the largely white, well-to-do, gay and lesbian political leadership of my generation seem to want to avoid talking about this frightening reality, perhaps out of fear talking about it will somehow detract from or undermine their efforts to advance the cause of marriage equality.
That is not only shortsighted, it is a betrayal of the memories of so many of our brothers who died trying to educate gay men, and everyone else for that matter, about the dangers and costs HIV Virus posed, and still poses, directly and indirectly, to society.

Invisible War - In Theaters Today
June 22, 2012
The Invisible War, a groundbreaking investigative documentary about the epidemic of rape within the U.S. military is now in select theaters across the country. Futures Without Violence is proud to partner with the film's Director Kirby Dick, Producer Amy Ziering, and the many women and men in uniform who are determined to bring an end to the epidemic of sexual assault. To find a theater near you and to take action, visit our coalition site.
The facts are devastating. A woman serving in Iraq or Afghanistan is more likely to be raped by a fellow service member than to be killed in the line of fire. The Department of Defense estimates there were 22,800 violent sex crimes in the military in 2011. Twenty percent of all active-duty female soldiers are sexually assaulted, though, there is also a staggering number of male victims – one study concluded that 1% of men in the military, or 20,000 soldiers, were reportedly sexually assaulted in 2009.
The Invisible War is inspiring a national dialogue about sexual assault within the military and has already spurred a policy review at the Department of Defense. Two days after watching the movie, Secretary Leon Panetta announced new initiatives to prevent and respond to sexual assault in the armed forces. The initiatives are designed to create greater accountability of perpetrators, provide more supports to survivors, and establish more effective forms of prevention. While the initiatives are strong, much more needs to be done to ensure fair and just treatment of the cases and to bring about a permanent change in the culture that has allowed this scourge to perpetuate.
Futures Without Violence, a member of the Invisible No More coalition, stands firmly with the many women and men who have come forward to tell their stories. We welcome the attention that the Invisible War is bringing to this issue. We urge the Department of Defense to make this issue a true priority and to move swiftly to implement and institutionalize the meaningful changes in policy, practice, and responses that are so urgently needed.
To learn more about the movie and to take action, please visit Invisible No More. Together we are #NotInvisible!

Scheduling Ryan a challenge for Jays
Gibbons trying to find balance between rest and regular work
TORONTO -- Handling B.J. Ryan's pitching schedule is proving to be a balancing act for Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. Toronto has to make sure that its closer is getting regular work while still limiting how frequently he takes the mound.
Ryan is still less than one year removed from the Tommy John ligament-replacement surgery he had performed on his left elbow last May 10, so Gibbons wants to make sure he's not pushing the pitcher harder than necessary. Still, he doesn't want Ryan sitting unused in the bullpen.
"You've got to be careful, and you've got to be smart with the guy," Gibbons said. "You can't get too overly excited now that you know he's back, because it's still been less than a year.
"You've got to keep him working. You don't want him all of a sudden to sit, because then there's a chance he could backslide. He's still in the building process."
For now, Gibbons said, the Jays don't want Ryan to go more than three days without working off a mound, whether it's in a light bullpen session or in a game. General manager J.P. Ricciardi added that Ryan isn't likely to appear in a game on consecutive days until at least the anniversary of the operation.
"That doesn't mean we're going to do it then, either," Ricciardi said. "It's not an easy predicament to be in as a manager. ... We're just trying to be judicious in how we use him and ease him to a point where he's stronger at the end."
Until the 32-year-old Ryan is cleared to pitch in back-to-back games, Gibbons will continue to divide save opportunities between Ryan and relievers Scott Downs and Jeremy Accardo. Toronto opened the season with Accardo as its interim closer, but the right-hander has struggled to find consistency with his split-finger fastball.
As a result, Accardo's ERA has climbed to 8.44 through six games, and he's only been used once in Toronto's past six games, entering Wednesday. Over that same span, Downs and Ryan each have one save. Neither Gibbons nor Ricciardi expressed much concern about Accardo's early issues.
"They all go through phases where some things don't work," Ricciardi said. "He went through a phase last year where his splitter wasn't working good, either, and he kind of rallied. It's a long year. Some guys go from having their best stuff every night and then they hit a little bit of a wall. Accardo's been fine."
On Wednesday, Ryan was available for a potential save situation against the Rangers. If the Blue Jays don't need to use him, though, Gibbons said that he would likely throw in a light bullpen session and appear in Thursday's game.
"That's the thing. You have to keep him on a schedule," Gibbons said about Ryan, who notched 38 saves for the Jays in 2006. "We don't want to sit him three days without doing something. Now, that might mean just getting him up in the bullpen to throw an easy side or something. He has to keep working, though."
Ryan was activated from the 15-day disabled list on Sunday and made his first appearance of the season that same day, picking up a save against the Rangers on the road. In that outing, his fastball was a few mph short of the low-90s heater he featured in 2006, but Gibbons believes that Ryan's velocity will continue to improve with time.
"We feel eventually he's going to come back to where he was," Gibbons said. "The thing about B.J is there's so much deception, that he can make an 88-mph fastball look 90-plus, because [hitters] don't pick it up -- they never have."

The name 3D Sports represents the three "Ds" that fuel athletes and training: desire, discipline, and development. So to foster these three elements, the spacious, 13,000-square-foot facility hosts supplemental training, practice, coaching, and sports for young athletes in baseball, basketball, field hockey, softball, and soccer. Future major leaguers can take to a batting cage or pitching lane to practice hitting home runs or throwing strikes, and a full-sized basketball court hosts individual and small-group lessons, along with seasonal camps and clinics. In addition to lessons, the facility also welcomes leagues and tournaments, as well as pickup games that pit casual participants against robots disguised as retired NBA stars.
While the facility is impressive in itself, 3D Sports is even more proud of its dedicated staff. To ensure high-quality coaching, 3D sports only hires coaches and trainers who excel in the art of coaching itself, rather than just hiring experienced players, like many youth programs. The enthusiastic staff also travels throughout the local area to train athletes on their home fields.
A horse trainer and instructor for more than 20 years, Angie Pfeiffer draws on her experiences handling dozens of horse breeds at farms throughout the nation while conducting riding lessons. During one-hour lessons, students don a stylish, ASTM?certified helmet provided by the stable and hop atop one of the experienced lesson horses or ponies. While at the helm of their steed, riders learn everything from basic horse husbandry to advanced riding skills, thereby gaining confidence and denouncing the notion that horseback riding must be done inverted, under the belly, and with a tight grip around the horse. For clients looking for a more leisurely experience, Pfeiffer Riding Stables offers trail rides through 150 acres of wooded trails, with stunning views of flora and fauna.
Sunlight glints off the glassy water of King's Creek, where it dapples the russet and ebony manes of horses with names such as Trooper and Pepsi as they amble across Triple M Ranch's acreage. Six days per week, the gentle steeds await their saddles, bridles, and visitors as the stables' expert guides lead herds on four daily rides whose routes follow the creek and naturally occurring compass groves through nearby woods and pastures. Triple M also hosts horses for field boarding, where they roam the 150-acre farm and graze freely on hay and other grassy treats while befriending fellow stallions and fillies within the borders of a white picket fence.
From 3,500 feet, you can barely even see the wild horses roaming Chincoteague Island. But when you're hang gliding alongside an instructor from Virginia Hang Gliding, it doesn't seem to matter much. What you can see from these towering heights are awe-inspiring views of waves crashing in from both the Atlantic and the Chesapeake Bay while you feel the adrenaline rush of soaring through the air. Clients help maneuver the glider over Virginia's scenic beaches, far above the other visitors and the hundreds of bottles containing notes about boring islands. The whole time, they rest safe in the knowledge that they're in the capable hands of one of the experienced pros who ride along.
Ice skaters of all stripes can find a home at Hampton Roads IcePlex. For budding figure skaters, the instructors offer lessons at 10 different levels. Beginners learn basic pivots and spins, and as skaters reach competitive levels, they cover double-axels, Arabian cartwheels, and turning ice into gold. Hockey players can also improve their skills at the complex?instructors lead leagues and workshops, which eschew figure skating's acrobatics and emphasize skating with speed and control. Even toddlers have a place at the rink?kids as young as 4 can take intro lessons that cover fundamentals such as falling safely. And those who want to just skate for fun can lace up rental blades during public skate sessions.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
It's something you hear about every Halloween - to be on the lookout for convicted sex offenders preying on Valley children.
But CBS 5 News has learned that the Halloween sex offender scare may be just a myth.
CBS 5 News contacted law enforcement agencies in Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale, Peoria, Scottsdale and Surprise.
None of the police departments have reported any problems involving a sex offender and children on Halloween, over the past five years.
[Related: Check your neighborhood for registered sex offenders]
Joel Best is a professor of sociology at the University of Delaware.
He said that the sex offender scare on Halloween is completely unnecessary and there is no concrete evidence that the mystical day of Halloween sparks extra sex crimes.
"Halloween is supposed to be scary holiday, so what happens is, we've stopped believing in ghosts and goblins, but we believe in criminals," Best said. "You're imagining someone so crazy that he hurts kids at random, but he is so tightly wrapped up, that he only does it one night a year. It doesn't add up."
Best suggests that parents spend their time worrying about kids running into the street, drunk drivers and contaminated candy.

Atletico Madird are through to the Europa League final after a 1-0 win in the Mestalla against Valencia. Having set the stage with a 4-2 win at home a week ago, the visitors knew that keeping the game tight would see them progress, and they managed to keep Valencia at bay fairly comfortably for the first half, despite being by some distance the lesser side. Thibaut Courtois' goal probably should have been under siege, but although the young goalkeeper did make some big saves the expected onslaught never quite materialised.
The second half was more of the same, until a five minute spell essentially crippled Valencia's hopes. First Sergio Canales went down in the box without contact, looking to have done himself a major injury in the process (he was stretchered off with his face covered) and then Adrian smacked in an absolutely magnificent right-footed shot from the edge of Diego Alves' box after chesting down a long diagonal from Diego. That made it 5-2 on aggregate, and meant that Valencia needed three goals to advance.
It looked like they were going to get one when Tiago was penalised for handball in the area - despite it being a Valencia player who touched the ball. After a few minutes of madness, however, it was the visitors who emerged with a free kick. The original decision was overruled, but Tiago was sent off anyway for a silly slap on Roberto Soldado when he still through the penalty was being given.
It was an ugly moment, but I'm not sure Atletico will care too much - they were able to hold out with ten men to advance to the Europa League final with a 5-2 aggregate win. They will meet Athletic Bilbao in Bucharest.

Do you ever have those times where you're starting to feel violent toward your hair? Like if it falls in your face one more time, you might do something drastic? That's been me for the last little while. My hair has been in a holding pattern (not to be confused with this) for several months.
As my bangs grew out and I went back again and again for a tried and true (but ultimately, boring) cut, I started thinking. What if I finally just cut it all? Like, really really cut it all? Went for the haircut that is most dreaded by those of us with round faces? That one that everyone says a fat girl shouldn't get? The pixie…
I started doing my research. I collected photos on Pinterest of celebs with cute cuts. But everyone had a pointy chin! How was that going to look on me? As I've gained weight over the last year, I've settled firmly into double chin land. I didn't think that should stop me (in fact, maybe it should be all the more reason to go for it…) but I wasn't seeing any photos of girls who looked like me with this particular cut. I was scared.
Enter Rachele from The Nearsighted Owl. She is my true inspiration for the pixie cut. I love her style and she so confidently rocks her cut in its many incarnations. Mostly I love that she's an excellent cheerleader for fat girls in general and particularly for fat girls who want short hair. We need more!
(check out Rachele's blog here)
So last Wednesday, I put on my big girl panties and did it! I love it. I joked all night that I was going to have phantom hair syndrome… I've never not had hair long enough to be in my face. It's totally different from anything I've ever done before and I think that's enough of a reason for me to take the plunge.
So, if you're thinking about going short and you need some inspiration, I totally recommend checking out Pinterest, Rachele's blog, Rebecca's blog (she just got a daring new do!), and the FY Fat Haircuts Tumblr.
PS. If you're someone who thinks, "I could never pull that off because of ___ or until I ___," just get over it. As I was checking out, two very slim girls commented on how cute my cut was, and then said, "But I have such a round face, I could never…" Usually I'm not one to challenge a stranger, but I simply pointed to my face and said, "I think I've got you beat there," as I walked out. To each their own, but if that's really the reason, I can think of better things to worry about.

GST implementation should not be delayed
Announcement of GST a welcome move
Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today met state Finance Ministers as a pre-budget exercise. The meeting lasted for more than three hours.
GST is likely to bring about a fundamental change in the tax structure by redistributing the burden of taxation equitably between goods and services.
Finance minister Arun Jaitley promised to examine issues over compensation to states for implementing the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
State Finance Ministers will meet tomorrow to iron out differences for early roll-out of the ambitious Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime.
The biggest worry for states is over the compensation for losses arising due to the transition to goods and services tax.
Simplification of tax norms can significantly improve tax compliance and increase tax revenues.

Stubble is definitely "in" at Hume Fogg Magnet school.
"Everybody wants that manly look," senior Kevin Flores told Nashville's News 2.
"It gets you a lot of respect, a lot of social points," added Student Government President Taylor Bates.
A group of students calling themselves "Hume Fuzz" are participating in a worldwide men's health movement called "Movember."
They are putting down their razors and letting their whiskers grow to new lengths while raising awareness for prostate cancer.
For senior Eli Orland, it's an issue that hits close to home. His father was diagnosed with prostate cancer during his freshman year. His father has been cancer free for almost three year.
"I can't imagine losing him, and I'm very grateful that there was help available to fix all of this," said Orland.
Orland is now committed to raising awareness for the disease that nearly claimed his father.
"The biggest challenge is awareness," said Orland.
Hume Fuzz will be raising money and awareness through "Movember."

In an upcoming software update, Tesla owners can attach a name to their engine-less electric rides. For Musk, it's "Old Faithful," he tells Stephen Colbert.
The architect of the plan to break California into six separate states faces a hilarious line of questioning from the Comedy Central talk show host.
The satirical news show host uses the Vessyl, a digital cup that can tell Coke from Diet Coke, to poke fun at Silicon Valley and the digitization of everything.
An app comes along that involves merely saying Yo. Stephen Colbert muses on its brilliance and its potential use in real-life situations.
Calling Jeff Bezos "Lex Loser," Stephen Colbert organizes a campaign to sell one first-time author's book through a different retailer.

After Amazon is granted a patent for photographs taken on a white background, Colbert decides to one-up the company.
In a segment on his show, sponsored by T-Mobile US, Colbert suggests that its phones be inserted up rear ends to alleviate constipation. Now that's a product endorsement.
Twitter is alive with reactions to the (now official) news that Stephen Colbert will be the next "Late Show" host on CBS. Crave's Eric Mack seeks to capture the gestalt.
No joke: Stephen Colbert's not a fan of Edward Snowden's whistleblowing, the political satirist tells a packed house at the closing RSA Conference keynote speech.

Tweet To Pay With New Dwolla Offering
Dwolla announced a new feature today called Dwolla Pound that lets you send payments to friends by simply tweeting.
"This makes it easy to send money to friends, nonprofits or even merchants without having to login to the Dwolla mobile app," the company says in a blog post.
A couple weeks ago, they launched guest payments, enabling users to pay without having an account. You will, however, need an account to pay by tweeting.
You can connect your Twitter account to your Dwolla account here.
You only need to include the recipient's Twitter handle, $ amont, and #dwolla.
"Yep, it's really that simple," the company says.
Pretty cool. No wonder the actor portraying Steve Jobs invested in the company.

This weekend, go see "Django". I still can't get this movie outta my head- & I don't want to! Ignore all nonsense u've heard bout "violence"—
Michael Moore (@MMFlint) January 04, 2013
" There's enough gun violence in [Django Unchained] to make the movie Scarface look like a Disney adventure."
–Huffington Post movie critic Leslie Sisman
* * *
"this season's bloodiest movie…"
–Chiderah Monde, New York Daily News
"Django Unchained" is classic Quentin Tarantino: blood, guns, and violence:
Django was so cool. They killed horses, showed beautiful mountains, and shot guns at each others crotches. My kind of movie.—
Josh Flinn (@Josh_Flinn) January 06, 2013
django was fucking cool. I wish everyone still caried their guns around like the olden days—
NVTE (@NVTEZILLV) January 06, 2013
For all the talk of guns in this country, django basically glorifies them and makes them cool. #pennyforurthoughts—
Jonathan O'Reilly (@Jonathanoreilly) January 06, 2013
Just ate spaghetti sauce with a white jacket on. I look like a scene from #Django. #Fail.—
Viviana Chavez (@vivianachavez) January 06, 2013
None of which seems to bother gun control advocate / pacifist Michael Moore one bit:
"Django Unchained" is one of the best film satires ever. A rare American movie on slavery and the origins of our sick racist history. Wow.—
Michael Moore (@MMFlint) January 01, 2013
Plantation owner: "All these slaves! Have you ever wondered why they just don't kill us?" In Django, they do.—
Michael Moore (@MMFlint) January 01, 2013
Happy New Year everyone! May 2013 bring u the peace & passion you're looking for and deserve to have. Have u seen Django? Omg watching now!—
Michael Moore (@MMFlint) January 01, 2013
Is violence acceptable if the victims are evil white people?
Some people seem to think so.
Still hype off Django. I'm gonna kill some white people today.—
Drew Schwemer (@drewxblood) January 06, 2013
Django was so good, I'm going to go beat up a white person.—
Zach Bartz (@ZachBartz) December 31, 2012
Go see Django and look at all the white people's faces when that hoe is over. PRICELESS. LMFAO!—
PAPI CHULO EL NEGRO. (@TityBoiTank) January 06, 2013
After watching Django unchained I wanna snack 5 white people right now.—
Jaayyyyy Ceeeeee ♓ (@jazouttacontrol) January 06, 2013
Saw#Django and it makes me hate white people#SorryGuys—
Holly (@Holhol10620) January 06, 2013
It's a line of thinking with which Moore seems to agree:
"RT @Hamilton_ghouse: @MMFlint spoiler alert?!?!" No. Django starts killing white people early on. Won't tell u how it ends!—
Michael Moore (@MMFlint) January 01, 2013
Guns … they are so cool! That is, if they're used in a Michael Moore-approved way.
As we wrote last month, we're not saying that violent films and video games are to blame for the mass shooting that took place in Newtown, Conn.
[W]e know who pulled the trigger there, and it wasn't director Quentin Tarantino or the NRA's Wayne LaPierre.
If we are going to have a national conversation on guns, though, can we at least ask why those in Hollywood who are so appalled by them can't seem to find a movie prop they love more?

PATCHOGUE, N.Y. – FEBRUARY 28, 2013 – St. Joseph's College (SJC), will host an all-day workshop providing future educators with the opportunity to learn about conservation and environmental education from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation on Saturday, March 2. The second annual Project Wild workshop will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Shea Conference Center on the Long Island Campus of SJC.
"This important and worthwhile environmental education workshop provides attendees with excellent ideas for implementation in elementary classrooms," said S. Mary Ann Cashin, chair of the Department of Child Study at SJC. "Each attendee will leave the workshop with a book of lesson plans for all grade levels and a heightened awareness of ecological issues."
The Project Wild workshop will be presented by Ronald Gelardi, regional environmental education coordinator for the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, to SJC students free of charge. The workshop will include lessons and activities intended to teach wildlife-based conservation and environmental education to future educators and community leaders, with the aim of promoting responsible actions toward wildlife and natural resources.
"I would love to attend more of their workshops, as they are full of so many great ideas that can be incorporated into the classroom," said Dana Fregosi '13, child study major at SJC.
For more information about Project Wild, contact S. Mary Ann Cashin at 631.687.1235 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

In an effort to reduce the abuse of city-owned property, Jersey City implemented a new program for public employees who use city-owned vehicles for their job. Now they are able to track those vehicles with a smartphone app while they are both on and off the clock to see where the vehicles are.
The app uses a GPS tracking system that is installed in the city-owned vehicles to keep track of their locations at all times. Mayor Steven Fulop says, "We can track where they go, how long the ignition has been on for or off for, what the stops are, how long they'd been at each stop, so it creates another measure of accountability."
The city wants to make sure that public employees are doing the job they're supposed to be doing. They are tracking vehicles stops, joy rides and after hour usage to see if this device can help save the city money.
Before this app was implemented a public employee was caught after hours using a city vehicle to pick up a prostitute.
The mangers of the city's Public Works Division are the ones responsible for monitoring these vehicles in real time to make sure employees are where they are supposed to be.
A private company is paying for the pilot program in Jersey City.
