Many a times you say to yourself, "I'll just check my updates on Facebook or any other social networking site and be off in a jiffy!" However, you end up spending a few hours! Well, many of us will agree that we often spend more time on these networks than we really intend to and waste those precious, productive hours, which could otherwise have been very useful! These networks tend to be addictive and with so much going on and so much of messaging and catching up to do, it can seriously affect our day-to-day business.
Enlisted here are a few valuable tips on how to catch up with your networks in 10 minutes and be done with it! It should not be a time-guzzler; instead, a quick peek and you are done.
Voila! You can do that …just log on to Ping.fm and get statuses updated across all networks including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, MySpace etc.You do not need to visit each individual site! Saves a lot of time, prevents you from getting attracted unnecessarily into any messaging and yet keeps you updated. A sure-shot way of being 'in the loop' and yet not really into it!
On the same site, i.e Facebook you will find the opportunity to see your news
feeds and those of your friends as well, without opening their home page. In
this review you can see in one go whatever your friends have been up to or whatever
you have been doing. Share your stories or show off your expertise by answering
their questions.
Saves a lot of time and effort and prevents unnecessary gallivanting around the network.
In fact, the reviews will give news feeds only from the Friends List that you have created and none else! In fact, the lists can be made according to "different areas of interests", " poker pals", "professional", "People to track" etc. and the comments and reviews on those news feeds will be seen only by you.
It also gives you the option to create Private Groups that are based on your personal choices and only you have the power to create them and access them for your viewing!
Suppose you are just getting started and do not know how to create a friend's list then go to the top of the page which says "make a new list", add a title to the list ; like "Hang out buddies" or "Watch out" etc. Personalize your list and then add the names of your friends to it so that you have your very own Friend's List that you can view any instant. You can also make "Multiple Lists" and do not forget to save the lists!
Instead of lingering on for hours, just breeze through the status updates of your friends and see if you feel like commenting on any of them. Do so or move on…no time wastage. Some people love to just put in their blog posts into their status updates so that others too can know that there have been recent feeds in your blog. People on your review lists get instant updates of your activities as you get theirs. It is a great way to get out and comment on the blogs you like or those that you are following without having to search for them repeatedly. Stick to this rule and you will stay within your time limits.
To wish people on their Birthdays and Anniversaries just click on the right hand side of the Facebook home page on Events and Birthdays. It will show up all your friends you need to wish and when you click on their name it will take you to their wall where you can "write" your Birthday Wishes without wasting much time.
Facebook is indeed unique in its time saving ways. Their is an Info tab on your friend's home page and you can get to know them better without wasting any time and quickly scan their entire profile.
It is a boon for all those who tend to forget names and faces and helps you know the person better, also it can tell you whether you want to add a certain person to your friend's list or not. In addition, if you do want them, it helps you to decide which list they should go into or where they would be most appropriate in your scheme of things.
Life becomes so much simpler if you just lay down your own simple rules for "Making Friends". It could be anything like "Profile must have a picture" or "there should be a personal friendship note attached with the request" or just about anything you feel is right. Set up your own Friend's Request filter wherein you put certain guidelines that will help the social networking site to filter out all the unwanted friendship requests you might get and saves you from many obstacles while trying saving your time. Last but definitely not the least it helps you decide whether you really want to be friends with that particular person or not!
Most of the invitations to various events that are sent across to you by your friends are not the ones you would like to respond to, so spend the least amount of time to just look through all these invites and click only if you find something that really interests you.
That is not the case with Group Invitations. Group invitations sent by your friends sometimes might be interesting and need to be seen. Occasionally you might just decide to join in one. Just check them out and see what you want to do. If it is a public group or an invitation for a "Teleclass", its best left unseen, but if is a private group of friends or professionals then you can choose to respond. If it is a public invitation sent by someone you know or admire then maybe you could respond to it and decide to go otherwise just decline the invitation and move on, Folks!
If you wish, you could just send in a small "thank you, but not interested" message or "Yes always wanted to do something like that…"message if you decide to accept it. However, whatever the case keep it brief. No wasting time, remember!
It is amazing how Facebook comes up with another tool that is cool. "The people you may know" section suggests a few names with whom you might just be interested in making friends. Surely, a very handy tool that saves time and yet helps you expand your circle of friends. Once you see a suggestion in that and you wish to respond then just click on the persons name and send a Friend Request.
Do not forget to send in a personalized note to help the other person recognize you and make a decision about accepting or declining.
There is a notification icon at the lower right side of the home page that helps you see what all activities are going on in your account. There could be Friend's request received or writing on your wall, whatever it may be it is best to check your notification icon rather than enter into your home page repeatedly where you might just get tempted to linger on for longer than you wished for!
By just devoting 10 to 15 minutes on your social networking site like FACEBOOK , you can keep in touch with all your buddies , you can be in the loop of what's happening , yet not spend unreasonable amount of time on it!
It is in fact a great PR and network building tool that can be positively used for all your business needs if only you stick to your time constraint and use these "save your time" guidelines!
Happy networking!

SPRINGFIELD, IL – Illinois State Police (ISP) Director Larry G. Trent announced today that the ISP was awarded $316,037 in grant funding from the National Institute of Justice via the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority. The grant is part of the National Forensic Science Improvement Act Program and will be used to purchase analytical equipment for several laboratories. The arrival of this equipment will help increase the analytical effectiveness in several forensic disciplines throughout the ISP's laboratory system.
"This funding will help to improve the flow of casework and efficiency of our forensic science laboratories," said Director Trent. "I would like to thank the National Institute of Justice and the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority for the assistance they provided with securing the grant for the Illinois State Police."
The funding will be used to purchase analytical equipment for the Documents, Drug Chemistry, Trace Chemistry, Firearms, Latent Prints, and Toxicology sections at various laboratories. Additionally, the latent print processing area and Criminalistics Section will be remodeled at the Joliet Laboratory and Forensic Science Center at Chicago.
The goal of the National Forensic Science Improvement Act program is to improve the quality, accuracy, and timeliness of forensic science services. Laboratories located in Chicago, Carbondale, Joliet, Morton, and Springfield will receive equipment through the grant.

I went to a baby shower today, and the MTB had a huge box of boy clothes for me. The only problem is though, is that who ever owned them previously (it was a gift for her, but she's having a girl, so she gave me the clothes) must have been a smoker.
These are really nice clothes! I won't use them if there is no way to remove all of the harmful chemicals in them, but I'll try anything to get them fresh and clean.
Any ideas?? Is there any way to get rid of all of the smokey-ness, or should I just give them back to her or what?

Challenges and Game-Related Solutions
to Metabolic Conditioning for Team Sports
Paul Gamble,PhD,CSCS
Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
The intricacies of team sports competition pose unique challenges for metabolic conditioning.The unpredictability and intermittent nature of competitive matches leads to great variability in the order, duration, and intensity of the various modes of locomotion and game-related activities players are required to perform.This article describes novel sport-specific solutions to metabolic conditioning for team sports players. The practicalities of implementing these game-related approaches are examined.
Approaching Physical
Preparation for Youth
Team-Sports Players
Paul Gamble, PhD, CSCS
Heriot Watt University, Sport and Exercise Science and Medicine Centre, Sports Academy, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
The benefits of physical preparation in young athletes are becoming widely accepted. This article examines the need for different aspects of physical preparation for young athletes competing in organized team sports. It further attempts to define what constitutes appropriate strength training, metabolic conditioning, and neuromuscular training for young team-sports players at different phases of growth and maturation.
FISH OIL Of all the supplements that I recommend to my clients (athletes and non-athletes) the first choice is always Fish Oil. Fish oil is the panacea of life - theres not much it cant or wont do in the body to regulate and enhance all aspects of cellular function. The reason it does this is because the cells or rather cell walls are made from fat. So the health of the cell membrane depends on the fat that you eat. You need cells to be built from a good mix of fatty acids, but if you have too many of one type over another then cell membrane health will be compromised and cell communication will be less efficient.

US Airways seeking support for its bid for AA
"We can't do it alone"
US Airways Group, which is weighing making an offer for American Airlines, learned from its failed 2006 bid for Delta Air Lines that such attempts need to be friendly and have support from labor groups, said Scott Kirby, president of US Airways.
During a New York transportation conference Tuesday, Kirby discussed the lessons from its hostile approach to acquire Delta while it was in bankruptcy. But he declined to comment on Fort Worth-based AMR Corp. or its Chapter 11 case. >>More..
Will Ryanair get Aer Lingus now that Ireland must sell?
This may be O'Leary's time to take over his Irish nemesis
The Irish government has agreed to sell their struggling airline in order to meet conditions of a bailout deal with its main lenders — the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund. Michael O'Leary, CEO of Ryanair, is licking his chops for another chance to take a run at buying Aer Lingus.
Ryanair is already the largest shareholder in Aer Lingus with 29.8 percent of the national carrier's shares. The Irish government has a 25 percent stake in the airline. >>More..

Organizers of the newest cyclist-centric festival to hit Los Alamos — "Rock-n-Roll EnduroFest" — are hoping that the event will gain speed among festival goers with many family-friendly activities for cyclists and non-cyclists alike, including guided rides, kids races, live music, microbreweries and bike races.
The event is slated for Aug. 1-3 at Pajarito Mountain Ski Area.
"The trails surrounding Los Alamos and the Pajarito Mountain Ski Area trail system are mostly an undiscovered gem for all types of mountain biking," said organizer Steve Watts. "We wanted to showcase our trails, our people, and our orientation around fun and adrenalin sports by putting on this family friendly event. We also enjoy good food and handcrafted beer, so we had to sneak these into the weekend's events."
When you look at tiny Missy, it's hard to see how someone could throw her out of a moving vehicle in Española. But, two weeks ago, someone did and the 7-week-old kitten was lucky to escape with only minor injuries.
Although a witness was able to write down the license plate number, local authorities have been unable to track down the driver, and the tiny tabby is recovering in foster care.
But, like Missy, the staff at Española Valley Humane Society wants to move past the tragedy and focus on the kitten's future. "We don't know who did this to Missy, but it is certain that it was someone who did not love her. So, now it is time for us to find her someone who does," said Linda Sanchez, foster care coordinator.
And that's exactly what shelter staff plans to do. At the Seventh Annual Santa Fe Kitten Festival, the shelter plans to have nearly 100 cats and kittens up for adoption at two locations, all in search of permanent, loving families.
Missy will be there, but so will Peony, a 10-month-old Tortoiseshell kitten who was surrendered by her owner nursing four kittens of her own, and Jake — one of four polydactyl kittens.

The Valles Caldera National Preserve will host the Jemez Mountains Storytelling Jamboree from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday at the Valle Grande staging area located just inside the preserve's main entrance. There is no admission charge to attend the jamboree.
The jamboree is the highlight of the 2014 birthday celebration that commemorates the creation of the Preserve.
On July 25, 2000, President Bill Clinton signed the Valles Caldera Preservation Act, which created the Valles Caldera Trust and the Preserve. The three-day birthday celebration begins Friday and runs through Sunday.
Storyteller and librarian Steven Plá returns this year to emcee the storyteller event and to perform along with five other storytellers.
Plá believes that "the magic of story helps people understand each other and the fascinating and diverse worldwide community."
This year's amazing storyteller line-up includes Emmy Award winning writer, producer and performing artist, Indiana Bones (aka Mike McCartney); puppeteer Brenda Hollingsworth-Marley, living history performer Linda Batlin, folklorist Kay Negash, and Pueblo of Jemez storyteller Paul Tosa.
Look up on a summer night in Los Alamos and there is so much to explore. That's exactly why the Pajarito Environmental Education Center decided to host a star party for its final Summer Family Evening of 2014 on July 29.
Those wishing to attend should meet at PEEC by 8:30 p.m. to drive to the viewing site.
The star party will have learning opportunities for both kids and their parents, with instruction and stories by Chick Keller.
The summer sky shows off the Milky Way, which is the galaxy seen edge-on from its center way out into its spiral arms.
During the star party, Keller will talk about what we know of the galaxy's spiral shape and show where dust clouds obscure much of it.
The group will have a chance to look at objects and discuss what's going on in the night sky, such as star formation, age-old remnants, clusters, nebulae and more. And of course, they will be able to look at whatever planets are in the sky, certainly Mars and Saturn.
In case of rain, this program will be rescheduled for July 30. The event is free to attend, and no advance registration is required.
To learn more about this and other PEEC programs, visit PajaritoEEC.org or contact 662-0460 or email@example.com.
Volunteers from the Pajarito Environmental Education Center and the Wildlife Center in Española teamed up for "Animals of the Southwest" July 11 at Bradbury Science Museum.
Today is one of those days where my column might annoy you. I heartily welcome your eye roll.
Today I'm going to ask you to have conversation with your kids.
Summer time is a time to decompress, relax, spend time doing things because there is more free time. I'm not talking about school personnel; I'm talking about our youth.
I know it might not be easy and perhaps you haven't done it in a while, but as long as they still live in your home, there's always a chance to begin a dialogue.
As school is two and a half weeks away, perhaps start by asking them what kinds of things they think they might need. When kids are in the older grades, there's not always a list of supplies to get you started.
When kids are younger, it is easy to take them to annual physicals, the dentist and other appointments to allow us to keep tabs on them, but that gets a little harder for some when as the years go by.
As kids become teens one of the best parts about the Children's Clinic is that they have the parent step out and they ask youth some pretty important questions that may lead to some good conversation, too.
Big problems don't start big; there are often signals, issues, or light bulbs that go on along the way.
The second annual Los Alamos Beer Co-op Fiesta is on Saturday at Pajarito Mountain Ski Area.

As part of the Fiesta, other Los Alamos cooperative businesses will attend to support the community and fellow cooperative. Representatives of the co-ops will be on hand to provide information about their cooperative business and to explain why everyone should "Keep it Co-op, Los Alamos."

The second annual Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown is officially on. It's all about finding the best green chile cheeseburger in Santa Fe and it's up to the public to decide which seven restaurants will be in the final Smackdown.
Voting for the city's best green chile cheeseburger will be open at santafe.org/funfoodevent now through Aug. 15. Or look for the Smackdown badge on the santafe.org homepage to vote. Chefs are preparing for a chance at the finals with bragging rights at stake for the best green chile cheeseburger in Santa Fe.
The six burger joints receiving the most votes on the website advance to the final cook-off from 6-9 p.m. Sept. 12 at the Santa Fe Farmers Market Pavilion.
A "Lucky Number 7" restaurant will be added during a radio-broadcasted burger crawl the week of Aug. 18. Voters may select one restaurant per Internet browser, per day.
At the final cook-off, the seven finalists fire up their grills and present their best burgers to a panel of judges and the perhaps their toughest critics — the public.
Distinguished food experts, including James Beard Award winner and local cookbook author Cheryl Jamison, will evaluate each finalist's burger to determine the 2014 Reigning Chomp.

If I had to do it over again Id opt for my money back. Customer Service is a completely joke. If Your Smart Enough To Read Then This System Is Limitless! By Phil on 2/26/2014 Phil would recommend this product to a friend I laugh after reading all these negative comments. Did any of you even try tech support or even read the downloadable pdf owners manual? Probably Not, Because I haven't had a single problem with mine and mine controls EVERYTHING for not just my display which I originally bought it for but my frag system as well. Maybe people should do research and get the full layout before buying a $500 Reef Controller then crying because your too illiterate to read how functions work! Cant Stand Stupid acting & thinking people. I LOVE MY REEFKEEPER- AND BEING ABLE TO USE MY CELL PHONE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WITH A 4g or high speed Wi-Fi signal is priceless. Sux for all you illiterate people that didn't take the time to learn about your equipment because there is unlimited uses for the Elite Net ReefKeeper Get an APEX controller. Don't waste your time or money on a reefkeeper. By FCorsten on 12/28/2013 FCorsten wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I've had my Reefkeeper Elite for 1.5 years. I hate it. It does basic functions well enough, but if you want more you're going to be disappointed. I can never get the NET module to work properly. Without the NET module it doesn't do half the functions I bought it for. I tried to get some customer service from DA but to no avail. The salinity probe is now available but for the whole time I had my Reefkeeper said probe and module was " in development". I decided not to sink any more money in this controller and I got an APEX. Even the connections on the probes suck. I broke my temperature probe just by unplugging it!!! Absolute garbage...I couldn't be more angry at Digital Aquatics. If you could give this product no stars I would! You've been warned. buyer beware!!!!!! By David on 12/9/2013 David wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I don't usually review products, but this thing has driven me to it. I whole-heartedly suggest you consider every other possibility before you buy this thing. After a month of messing with it I would return it to BRS for 50 cents on the dollar. Two features really motivated me to buy this package: graphing and control over a network. The computer interface cable in the box from BRS did not work. After a night wasted on the internet chat forums I was told I probably had a bad cable. DA sent me a second. It did not work. DA sent me a third. Finally I was able to access the system from a laptop. The software is amateurish at best. The documentation is woefully deficient and outdated. The graphing that is provided now requires a computer to be hooked to the device. Nothing is simple or easy…let alone polished or well done. Horrible company all around By Dre on 11/14/2013 Dre wouldn't recommend this product to a friend You half to be a mechanical engineer to figure out how to program the system. Then you call customer service expecting a solution, WRONG! This company is terrible all around. I'd get the Appex controller if I could do it over again, better reviews. About $1200 bucks down the drain :-( awesome easy setup By ROGERWILCO357 on 9/8/2013 ROGERWILCO357 would recommend this product to a friend It took me like 20 minutes to have it up and running , controls my heater which has saved me when the heater malfunctioned and was shut down by the controller , also controls my lights if the tank gets to hot it shuts the lights down leaving the minimum lights on that i programmed to stay on unless another temp is reached then all lights out. takes care of all my 2 part dosers and controls my ato so nice love the unit have 3 now two lite units for other tanks and my sons since his heater stuck and he lost all his corals and fish now he has piece of mind. Now if they get the controller to work with my vortices and get that salinity probe up to snuff it will get 5 stars but till then i give them 4..not sure why people have trouble programming it since its pretty easy setting the alarms and such…well give it a whirl . Roger Faulty product, poor/non existent customer service By AB on 7/16/2013 AB wouldn't recommend this product to a friend Ordered over $1,200 worth of the system. Attempted to set it up piece by piece. Worked ok until adding the third module then constantly started loosing time. Sent in head unit for replacement. Received replacement, system constantly rebooted itself. Attempted to contact customer service, their response will always be disconnect EVERY module then start adding them back one at a time until the reboot happens. Good idea unless you have 12 modules and the reboot is only happening intermittently. System now reboots constantly and DA refuses to replace it. Piece of junk, not worth the time. Highly suggest you don't purchase. No insturctional maual By Reef Paradise on 5/16/2013 Reef Paradise wouldn't recommend this product to a friend If you want hi-tech, yes this is for you. But you are on your own. There is no instructional manual. Guesses and go, tried and errors is the main theme for this DA, unless you are NASA engineer. Yes indeed there is a thread for how to run this properly on line, but if you don't know where you are, a map won't help. Right? I bought mine in Black Friday on Thanksgiving and until now still now completely figure it out. By the way not to mention customer services are extremely short of staffs. You are really lucky in there is a human answer the phone. Good luck Dan Trinh Awesome! By Wendiesel on 4/9/2013 Wendiesel would recommend this product to a friend I too had a broken system hours after setup. It was the RKL Plus that died on me. But the short time I had with it was awesome! BRS was by my side and worked things out with me. The replacement RKL worked and is still working with no problems. About a month later I ordered a RKE Net and absolutely love this system. I think the folks that put these things together just don't give a crap along with the folks from quality control, because this system is great. If you can navigate a smartphone without the instructions for the most part, then you should not have a problem getting to know the system. If you panic at the thought of upgrading your phone to the latest and greatest phone available the you might find it hard to work with. As far as the instructions go, whats wrong with saving trees? I feel like DA has done a wonderful thing by posting the instructions instead of putting 1 in each box! I give BRS 5 stars for awesome service I give DA 4 stars.. 5 for an awesome product -1 star for poor quality control All in all the Reefkeeper line is just awesome. This is what I own 1 RKE 4 PC4 2 SL1 1 SW5 1 MLC 1 NET 1 RD1? (RKL Control) And I would buy it all again! this thing sucks By gus on 3/9/2013 gus wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I just opened the box today and its already broken, I have to hold the bus cable in the back of the display unit to keep the display on. Beyond that, the online manual does NOT match any of the options on the display. I figured the problem is firmware related so I tried to download the version referenced in the manual (v1.07), but I am on v2.06 already. It wouldnt have mattered because the link on their website for the upgrade goes to a dead web page. I give up. Great Controller By Troy on 3/2/2013 Troy would recommend this product to a friend Easy to install and the software is easy to follow to assign and setup your components. Little Disappointed By Steven on 1/31/2013 Steven wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I am noot sure where to begin on this. It is not "Super simple" unless you use the ReefKeeper software to setup. Without the ReefKeeper software this is beyond the most painful device i have ever tried to use as the actual head unit is NOT user friendly. It does do what it says though and will respond accordingly, I have tried to calibrate the pH probe but think i would have done better to throw it out of the window. It is ALWAYS 0.1 off from actual. As a result i just had to readjust my alarms for the RKE "standard". Overall it does give me some piece of mind knowing that it can email me when there is a problem. However, I think spending the few extra dollars to get the Neptune device may be worth it....

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- This week is all about easy Valentine's Day treats. From a brownie in a coffee mug to chocolate covered strawberries, Heather and Erin show us a few ideas.
PINSPIRATION - Brownie in a Mug
What you'll need:
4 Tablespoons of Sugar
4 Tablespoons of Flour
2 Tablespoons cooking oil
2 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons of cocoa powder (unsweetened)
Mix together & microwave for about 90 seconds. This is a simple treat that could double as a gift idea. Enjoy!
PINSPIRATION - Chocolate Berry Bites
WVLT viewer Jim Stephens messaged Heather on Facebook, requesting help for this year's Valentine's Day. He said a couple of years ago his wife asked for chocolate covered strawberries. What he gave her was a chocolate bar sitting on top of a box of strawberries. While Jim was technically not wrong, his wife didn't see the humor.
Using an ice cube tray, slice strawberries and prop them up along the sides of the openings. Melt chocolate and pour it in the openings. This will limit the mess and create small chocolate covered strawberry bites.
To see these projects click on the "Pinspiration" board on Heather's Pinterest page, http://www.pinterest.com/wvltheather, or Erin Barnett's Pinterest page at http://www.pinterest.com/wvlterinbarnett.

Chicks hatch at Chicago Ridge library
As sharp little beaks laboriously poked their ways through tough white shells, a crowd of about 15 children and adults marveled at Mother Nature's handiwork late Tuesday afternoon at the Chicago Ridge Public Library, 10400 S. Oxford Ave.
The eggs have been in an incubator for three weeks as part of a promotion designed to boost interest in the library and, frankly, get more people through the doors, said Irene Ciciora, the library's director of youth services.
About 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, their patience was rewarded as the first four chicks made their way out of their eggs.
But that's not all. It's getting crowded.
"There were 16 more waiting for us when we got to work this morning, and three more are trying to break out of their shells," Ciciora said about 11 a.m. Wednesday.
Lifelong Chicago Ridge resident MaryJo Grossi has been monitoring the eggs' progress on the library's website. Tuesday was the expected "due" date, so she brought her granddaughter and two of the girl's friends to see the chicks. They were not disappointed as the chicks began hatching moments later.
"I think it's incredible. I'm excited that the library did this because these girls are learning about life, and this will keep them wanting to come back," Grossi said.
Her granddaughter, Abriella Rayburn, 7, of Chicago Ridge, watched intently as Ciciora gently picked up the damp chicks and placed them beneath a heat lamp. In moments, their feathers dried to a fluffy bright yellow and they made little chirping sounds.
The chicks, when they weren't testing their legs, huddled together.
"It's neat because they're so cute," Abriella said.
Grossi said she was "amazed how they fluff up so fast."
The popular program was held several years ago at the library and brought back this year because patrons had often asked about it, Ciciora said. Thirty-six eggs were placed in the incubator early last month, she said.
For those who missed the hatching, there's no need to fret. The library will allow visitors to hold the chicks from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. There's no fee, but if you check out a book when you visit, you get a raffle ticket to win a gift basket, Ciciora said. Children need a permission slip signed by a parent or guardian.
For more information, call the library at (708) 423-7753.

30 Days To Six-Pack Abs
30 Days To Six-Pack Abs
This training program is akin to what a bodybuilder would do in the last few weeks before a contest. It covers the entire body but gives special priority to your abs—you'll work them first in every session.
Most of the exercises won't be new to you, but take note of how they're performed. You'll use a variety of intensity-boosting techniques, such as holding a peak contraction and performing a slow negative (lowering) portion of a rep, to bring out the most muscularity. Pay attention to asterisks (*) in the workout chart, which denote technique changes.
Follow a clean diet along the way to preserve all your muscle—and possibly gain a bit—as you reduce calories and peel away body fat. Soon you'll have a body worth unwrapping on Valentine's Day.
Train six days per week. Perform cardio in the morning for five consecutive days and lift most afternoons or evenings. Rest completely one day per week.
For the cardio component, perform 30 minutes of steady-state cardio. For the best results, do it first thing in the morning before breakfast.
Choose any type of exercise you like, such as walking, cycling on a stationary bike, or using a stair climber, but keep the intensity at your target heart rate, which you calculate like this:
(220 - (your age)) x 0.7 = THR (Target Heart Rate)
If your schedule prevents you from lifting in the afternoon or evening, move your session to the morning and perform cardio later. Try to keep the two sessions several hours apart.

"Mark your calendar. A ripped, beach-ready body is only one month away when you follow this training and diet program."
Can't seem to find the promised diet program...this article got only the exercises.
Basically, just eat your favorite food unless you want to compete for Mr. Universe, but divide your 3 big meals into 5 smaller meals, eat some veggies, nuts before the main meat course so you are kind of half full and don't have to devour the meat portion. I like to add boiled beans in my salad before main course.
Agree.. you can do the best workout in the world, but if you eat crap you will still look like crap
Pretty sure all you need to do to get visible abs is drop body fat. Once again another article that over analyzes everything.
The type of cardio they recommend is used specifically to burn body fat.
agreed. abs are all diet. this workout will definitely strengthen your abs but as far as having a six pack goes getting lean is a must.
You have to work your abs just like any other muscle group to get them to grow otherwise, diet alone will get you a flat stomach sure, but nothing much to show, like sexy deep cuts
exactly, you can do all the ab workout you want, but as long as you have stomach fat they wont show..
strong bro science here.. again
Awesome! Getting starting this program soon! I am excited.
I use this type of cardio 2-3 times per week to burn fat. Definitely recommend it.
You would get a lot more comments if someone would stop deleting them all!
I can never really agree withan article that condones bench dips, i still believe those are by far one of the worst excersices for the health of your shoulders
between the dips and the seated chest press you should start tearing ur rotator cuff nicely
between the dips and the seated chest press you should start tearing ur rotator cuff nicely
Nice. A dozens comments are deleted.
Sorry that was the last time that I comment to help somebody :-(
Is the diet portion invisible?
I don't see how training abs each day will give you visible abs. I thought that all came from body fat percentage?
yup i just noticed that myself... something doesnt seem right there...

In the wrapping up session on the final day, each participant gave a presentation on "lessons learnt from Japan during the training program", which was later to be elaborated and accounted in the completion reports each participant submitted. They indicated their own highlights of the training program, interestingly varying in themes depending on his/her professional expertise. All of them highly appraised the rich contents of the overall program and wished it would continue every year from now on.As the first attempt to deliver such training course for the alumni of the JJ/WBGSP, it indeed illustrated the importance of life-long learning and network building. While achieving its set objectives, that is to provide alumni of the JJ/WBGSP who studied outside Japan an opportunity to learn lessons from Japan and its experience, this training program also generated motivation for each participant to strive further in their professional career and a sense of linkage that we are all working to make a better future of the entire world through learning from each other and thinking together. The JJ/WBGSP is grateful to the Government of Japan for their continuous support.
Posada Molina, Jerson Rogelio, el SalvadorMA in Development Economics at Williams College, United States, Year of Graduation 2005
The training course provided me with a wide understanding not only about the lessons which drove the country to be one of the leading nations in the world but also with an understanding about Japanese cultural factors which has been transcendental for the development reached, and allowed me the opportunity to establish direct contact with daily Japan life (economy, people, traditions). Now back in my country I will be able to replicate the new knowledge, provide advice to the authorities in the Ministry of Finance, prepare technical documents and propose economic policies applying the lessons learnt which are beneficial for my country letting me serve as a vehicle to implement strategies oriented to improve the economic development of my country."
Vallejos Castillo, Janett Maribel, PerúMIA in Economic Policy Management at Columbia University, United States, Year of Graduation 2005
"When I decided to apply to the course, I was expecting to have a closer view of Japan's economic policy and its experience with the last financial crisis. I also was trying to learn more about the role of the public sector in the economic performance of Japan. In particular, the objectives I had before attending the training program were related to: how Japan could find the way for a rapid progress and growth; what particular policies Japan undertook for this economic success; to what extent the financial system can be used as a tool to assist the development of selected sectors or industries; and the combination between Japan's general macro economic policies that set an adequate economic environment, and its industrial policy and the role it played in Japan's economic development. I have found answers to most of the questions I had at the beginning regarding the Japanese development process. The training course in Japan was an invaluable opportunity to learn, not only about Japanese development process, but also about Japanese philosophy of entrepreneurship.
I addition to my current position at the Superintendency of Banking and Insurance, I am also part-time professor at Pacific University in Lima, teaching Microeconomics at the undergraduate level. The short-training course in Japan will also contribute enormously with this job. First of all, the motivation I got from the meetings with the CEO of Shimadzu and the people of Panasonic made me realize the importance of having inspired people to get success. I am trying to transmit this spirit to my students, since they are the future entrepreneurs and managers of the country.
The lessons I learned from the short term course have served me as an inspiration to be better and look for excellence. I found out that the Japanese society is based over strong values, such as commitment, love for the cultural side, respect and modesty, which were key factors to achieve its success."
Urustemov, Seilbek, Kyrgyz RepublicMasters in Development Economics at Williams College, United States, Year of Graduation 2006
"I considered the training course as a good opportunity to learn from Japan's development experience, to meet in person people who are directly involved in development strategy formulation and implementation, to discuss issues related to Japan's development with other alumni. I also expected that course participants share their own experiences in their countries development. The course program was intensive and interesting. All lectures, meetings we have had were in the line of main topics of the course. I appreciate informal discussions between course participants and organizers we were having during lunch breaks and between course events. Those discussions revealed that on the one hand developing countries in general have almost the same problems, but on the other hand there is no unique solution of these problems.
The country's development is based on three main pillars: the growth led by the Government, entrepreneurship, and management system. The economic growth stems from high rate of private savings promoted by the Government. Real sector relies on innovations, research and development activity. A combination of so-called Keiretsu system and small and medium enterprises also provides the country with sustainable basis for the growth. Enterprises emphasize investments in knowledge thinking not only about current profit and growth but also about creation that could them survive in the era of agile competition.
I would like to thank the Government of Japan and the World Bank for the opportunity to gain knowledge in a leading school of the United States, Williams College, for supporting me on my way to a professional goal – to become a good policymaker, for giving me a chance to meet nice and promising people from different parts of the world."

Regarding different rules for different levels of the game, spear tackles are just at dangerous at all age groups, all weights, all strenghths. As the parent of a schools rugby player, i want to see the message reinfourced at every level, but most especially in Internationals. I felt sorry for Sam Warbuton in the world cup, but if his red card makes an underage players refrain from upending an opponent on their neck, and saves life devastating injuries, it will have been worth it. In the present two tackles, Bradley Davies deserved red and long ban, Ferris penalty, maybe yellow, no ban.

Thanks to Aidan for this link.
This talk by Afra Raymond of Trinidad and Tobago is an interesting contrast to the situation in Ireland in respect to corruption.
My impression is that Ireland is years behind countries like Trinidad and Tobago in its recognition and acceptance of the massive damage that can be inflicted by the disease of corruption.

Miss Quill Miss Quill
32. Miss Quill asked the Minister for Education if it is her intention to co-operate with the Department of Social Welfare in working out a package aimed to assist needy families, with numbers of school-going children to cope with the exceptionally high demands of fitting their children out for school at the commencement of each school year in September.
Minister for Education (Mrs. O'Rourke) Minister for Education (Mrs. O'Rourke)
Minister for Education (Mrs. O'Rourke): I am happy to say that I have been able to make a significant increase this year in the money available to help provide books for necessitous children.
I understand that under the terms of the supplementary welfare allowances scheme discretionary payments may be made by the health boards to families with insufficient means to help meet exceptional needs on a once-off basis.

Joris Hoefnagel, illuminator; Georg Bocskay, scribe
Flemish and Hungarian, illumination 1591-1596, script 1561-1562
Watercolors, gold and silver paint, and ink on parchment
6 9/16 x 4 7/8 in.
On this page, Hoefnagel echoed the swirling lines of calligraphy with the curved, stocky body of a terrestrial mollusk; likewise, the rounded sections of the orange in the center resemble the twisting loops created by the calligrapher. The graceful petals and delicate lavender color of the larkspur blooms to the right, meanwhile, balance the more robust forms of the marine animal and piece of fruit. One of the illumination's most charming details is the almost mischievous look the mollusk seems to direct outward to the viewer.

By Mark McNaught
As a teacher of United States constitutional law, I am often confronted with the profound shortcomings of the 1789 document in the modern era. When ratified, it was an ingenious and innovative distillation of pre-existing constitutional principles, which provided a means of coordination among the states to solve large-scale problems such as trade and collective defence.
While it has endured for some 223 years, the modern era has presented problems which the founders could not possibly have envisioned, and which XVIII century jurisprudence is woefully ill-equipped to deal with. Corporate corruption is endemic, politics is marketed like soap, elections are bought, and voting rights in many states are being curtailed.
The modern United Kingdom too, lives under archaic constitutional arrangements, ill adapted to deal with the needs of the populace. The faded notion of Parliamentary sovereignty with an unwritten constitution continues to allow for rights to be statutory rather than guaranteed, and for power to be granted to regional parliaments then taken away.
The Leveson commission is vividly illustrating how these inchoate constitutional arrangements can allow for endemic corruption to set in to governing institutions. The rules for governing, such as they exist, are often written to ensconce power of those who detain it, rather than to democratically share it.
Scotland, being governed within the UK for over 300 years, has no modern experience with fair and effective written constitutional government. Therefore it is perhaps not surprising, yet with a bit of frustration that I observe a lack of appreciation on the part of many Scots for the historic opportunity that is presented by the independence referendum of 2014, regardless of their political affiliation.
If done judiciously, Scotland could adopt a written constitution second to none in terms of guaranteeing democratic accountability, individual rights and liberties, equality before the law, and against corporate corruption. There are many lessons to be learned through the study of constitutions and governing systems throughout the world as to what works and what doesn't, which could be adapted to modern Scotland to produce a constitution which preserves the many admirable political qualities possessed by the Scots, such as a genuine egalitarianism, while instituting mechanisms which could cure ills in the future, like religious sectarianism.
If properly framed, a written constitution could provide for a fair governing system which could benefit all parties, and not be perceived as a vehicle for keeping one party in power. Governing procedure could also be designed to be adaptable to the needs of the moment, without losing a democratic and egalitarian character.
I truly believe that Scotland, as a relatively small state, could potentially come closer to a pure democratic ideal than any other country in history. In fact, this is the only way it could possibly work in the long term.
It is understandable to a degree that most of the Labour and Conservative party members are currently against independence, and thus have their heads deep in the sand regarding how a written constitution could help their cause. Yes, Scottish independence could lead to no more of their members in the Westminster Parliament. While comprehensible, their reticence to constructively engage could prove disastrous for them were independence to be achieved, and constitute a missed opportunity.
For Labour, a written constitution could enshrine union rights and collective bargaining, and an utterly level playing field for resolving conflicts with management, if that is still what they stand for. For Conservatives, it could protect Scottish culture and heritage, the market nature of the private economy, and other priorities. Regardless of their position on independence, they should seriously consider entering a dialogue on the content of a constitution in the event that 'yes' prevails.
It is in this spirit that we at www.constitutionalcommission.org seek to broaden the dialogue on the possibilities of a written constitution, whatever your political persuasion. Scots must recognize what a golden opportunity independence could afford, if it is done with a sense of equanimity, justice, and fairness for all.
The raw material exists. Scots are by and large intelligent, egalitarian, charitable, and fiercely independent. A well-framed written constitution will enshrine and guarantee these values within their governing structures to be passed down through generations.
All Scots deserve nothing less.
Mark McNaught is an Associate Professor of US civilisation at the University of Rennes 2 France, and teaches US constitutional law at Sciences-Po Paris.
Good quality article and a key point is no political group should write it!
Wishful thinking!! Not if it was ratified by the people of Scotland. Are the SNP going to block it?
sneckedagain 2012-07-31 12:41
Correction, The SNP claimed their point of view is deliberately excluded.
This nonsense about the time for a Constitution to be decided is after 2014. Oh, so Indy excludes any democratic discussion and any resultant demand until after 2014? Did the Scots agree to be so silenced? Why would anyone insist on such silence?
Bizarre if not dangerously anti-democratic
I fully accept the legitimacy of the current parliament. However, even the most rabid cybernat would recognise that the fact that the SNP enjoys a majority in the current parliament, does not entitle it to declare UDI. The Scottish people did not not vote in the SNP majority on a platform of declaring independence, or of them writing a new constitution, they voted them in (partly) on a platform of holding a referendum.

No answer yet to the closer question for Cubs
BY GORDON WITTENMYER firstname.lastname@example.com May 7, 2013 11:11PM

Updated: June 9, 2013 6:44AM
As impressive as Travis Wood looked for the Cubs on Tuesday night, get a load of Carlos Marmol and Kevin Gregg against the first-place Cardinals.
The embattled Marmol in particular bounced back again to get the job done well enough – despite a bloop hit and a walk in the eighth – to help Wood get a 2-1 victory over streaking St. Louis.
That's two in a row for Marmol after Saturday's Carlos-classic meltdown.
Manager Dale Sveum saved the hyperbole for Wood -- "the best starter in baseball pretty much" – after the lefty's seventh impressive start in as many turns.
But the Marmol hold and Gregg save underscore the hunger the Cubs have to late-inning reliability – something that could get a boost with Kyuji Fujikawa's return from the disabled list.
Fujikawa (elbow) had a rehab appearance rained out Tuesday, but he's expected to pitch today for AA Tennessee, then be activated and join the club Friday in Washington.
Meanwhile, a Cubs team that entered the day a miserable 8-for-16 in save chances could only look with envy at how the Cardinals seem to have easily covered the loss of injured closer Jason Motte (elbow) with Edwin Mujica.
Mujica had six saves in his life before going 8-for-8 the last three weeks.
"We were looking to answer the same question there the first couple weeks,'' Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "[Mitchell] Boggs was having trouble, and we'd just lost Motte. … Fortunately, one guy stepped up. That's usually what it comes down to, somebody taking advantage of the opportunity."
Third watch
Third baseman Ian Stewart has gone from minor-league rehab player to $2 million bench player for the AAA Iowa Cubs – and could be on his way out altogether.
Stewart, who was activated from the DL Friday and officially optioned to Iowa (where he'd been rehabbing), has been on the bench the past two games while Josh Vitters started.
This after Stewart surprisingly used his 72-hour reporting rights to leave the team for three days upon receiving the news – and ticking off the team that stuck with him long enough to likely get nothing for its $2 million dice roll.
Asked if Luis Valbuena is producing because he feels more like an everyday player, Sveum said, "I hope so, because is an everyday player. Obviously, there's a little bit of a platoon [with Cody Ransom] going on, but I would never have any problem really playing him every day. … He's one of the most productive third basemen in the game right now."
The day after Scott Feldman left his start in the eighth inning because of cramping in his index finger, Sveum said the right-hander was fine.
◆ Sveum could have used Thursday's off day to move struggling Edwin Jackson back three days in the rotation, but he said he won't juggle his starting order. Jackson is scheduled to make his next start Saturday.

The Law Offices Of Jonathan Franklin Offers Criminal Defense Services
If you have been arrested for a DUI in California, it is essential to contact a qualified attorney as quickly as possible. Individuals who have been charged with a felony DUI (instead of the typical misdemeanor DUI charge) face even harsher penalties. In either case, Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney Jonathan Franklin and the rest of his team at the Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin can provide an intelligent and vigorous defense of your criminal matter.
Under the current laws of the State of California, a fourth DUI conviction within ten years of the first one will require a mandatory prison sentence. A fourth conviction isn't the only way to face a felony, though, especially if an accident results in injury or death. Multiple DUI's in a short period of time will result in much harsher penalties even if there are no injuries and there are other mitigating factors, such as excessive speeding or driving under the influence with a minor passenger.
For people who would like to minimize the consequences of a DUI arrest, professional legal advice can be one of the most important factors. Whether it is to limit the damage of a criminal conviction through a plea to a lesser charge or an attempt to get the case dismissed entirely, a Beverly Hills DUI Attorney can focus on the facts of the case and determine whether or not proper procedure was followed each step of the way. A Beverly Hills DUI Lawyer can also devise a legal strategy that will help get your life back to normal as quickly as possible.
It does not happen often, but some cases are dismissed for various reasons. Procedures involving breathalyzers and field sobriety tests must be followed by law enforcement agencies, as well as scheduled maintenance and calibration for breath testing devices. Checking to make sure all of this has been properly done and documented by the police are just a few of the procedural tasks that lawyers perform. These legal requirements are there for your protection. A poorly trained officer or a machine which is not properly calibrated can sometimes result in a DUI arrest when the person driving is not over the legal limit.
It is also essential that you follow the proper procedures as well; this is another area where a lawyer can be invaluable; it includes making sure you know the court dates and times you must show up, and to retain your license after a DUI arrest in California you will need to schedule an Administrative Hearing within 10 days of the arrest or you may automatically lose your driving privileges after 30 days. This is just one of the things that the Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin will help you with throughout the legal process.
Fighting a DUI charge isn't easy, especially if it's a felony charge. The Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin provide advice and legal representation in the Los Angeles and Southern California area and are dedicated to providing a vigorous and intelligent defense of your rights and freedom. Jonathan Franklin knows the law and the California courts system, and has a unique perspective from his service as a prosecutor – knowledge that he now puts to work for you.
Clients charged with a DUI should contact their attorney as early as possible in order to get the full benefit of qualified legal representation. Call the Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin now for a free initial consultation.

Honeybees may have emotions, are feeling a bit depressed
Honeybees have been having some issues lately, so it's no surprise that their recent buzzing might seem to be a bit down in pitch. What is a surprise is that bees might actually be feeling kinda pessimistic about the whole thing, as some recent research shows that bees could have emotions like we do.
Us higher vertebrates spend a lot of our time acting all high and mighty about how we have emotions, but insects seem poised to take us down a few notches as scientists have performed some experiments showing that honeybees have feelings too. Namely, pessimism.
First, researchers trained the bees to associate one scent with a sugary reward (something positive) and another scent with bitterness (something negative). A third scent was a neutral mixture of the two. Then, half the bees had their hives shaken to simulate a predator attack. Yeah, I know, real nice. Poor bees.
After that experience, the shaken bees were significantly more reluctant than their unshaken neighbors to go check out the neutral scent, and perhaps more importantly, their brains contained different levels of dopamine, serotonin and octopamine, which are three neurotransmitters related to depression. So the bees weren't simply acting pessimistic, they actually had pessimism going on inside their brains.
The thing about pessimism is that by definition, to be pessimistic you have to have a negative outlook on your own future. So it's not just an emotion, it's also the capacity for projecting that emotion onto yourself over time. It might be a bit much to attribute this level of introspective sophistication to an insect with a brain the size of a sesame seed, but at the same time, the experiment suggests that insect emotions are significantly more complex than anyone ever thought.
To the relief of bees everywhere, the researchers are next going to try and see if they can make honeybees happy. But you should do your part, too: be extra nice to bees from now on, and maybe even send them flowers or something from time to time. They'll definitely appreciate that.

We don't get given laptops here.
Just wondering what kit you guys have been issued with as a techy at school/work.
When I arrived there was a new Dell Latitude D510 with 60GB HDD + 512MB RAM.
Im now wanting a new laptop and give my perfectly fine laptop to a teacher. I figure that rather then getting a new laptop for a teacher that hardly ever hits 30% CPU usage with office and IE I figure the money would be better spent on a faster 1 for myself.
I run VM's all the while, testing - burning - encyripting etc so I'd like a Dell Precision⢠M65 but its tallying up at £1200! - We may get it for £900ish as we get alot of good deals via them.
So what do you guys use and mainly for what?
We don't get given laptops here.
I got rid of my laptop & replaced it with a 3ghz P4 HT DELL Precision tower system with 1gb memory, mirrored HDD and a 19" TFT screen 2 years ago. I have a UMPC to take with me (new toy!) if I go walk-about.
Jesus!!!1 A techys tool is a laptop + various other things..
I'd put in for a laptop and say its a vital tool. When networkin, perfect for plugging in n testing the point etc etc.
Well keep posting..
