The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
ANALYSIS FOR COMMENT -- SOUTH AFRICA/CHINA -- putting breaks on Chinese labor
Released on 2013-02-13 00:00 GMT

visit to South Africa. While cooperation agreements in areas including
mining and infrastructure sectors were made, likely not coincidental
during the visit was the arrest and probable deportation of 35 Chinese
telecommunications workers allegedly working in South Africa illegally.
South Africa aims to raise its international profile with and obtain
investment from the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) league, but,
facing strong labor problems, cannot permit China to behave in the country
like they may be able to in other African countries.
Xi's visit to South Africa is the first leg of a three-nation tour of
Africa (which followed a visit to Singapore) ending on Nov. 24. The
Chinese vice president will also travel to Angola, where energy and
infrastructure agreements are likely, and Botswana, where mining sector
and infrastructure deals will probably be agreed to.
Xi's visit in South Africa essentially reciprocates South African
President Jacob Zuma's state visit to China that he undertook from August
23-25. While in South Africa, Xi convened, together with South African
Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe, the fourth bi-national commission
between the two governments in addition to overseeing the signing of the
trade, investment and cooperation agreements.
While official bilateral government activity was occurring however, a
Stratfor source reports that thirty-five Chinese telecommunications
workers were arrested for working illegally in South Africa. South African
media report of coordinated raids this week by authorities from three
government departments - home affairs, immigration, and the South African
Police Service (SAPS) - at Cell C work sites in three cities throughout
the country, Cape Town, Durban, and Bloemfontein.
It is not likely that the raids on the Chinese workers at Cell C are
unrelated to Xi's visit. On the one hand, South Africa seeks and needs
foreign investment to finance a host of domestic programs, including
expanding its stretched-to-capacity energy power plant network, its road
and rail network, and its mining sector. The Chinese have been significant
investors in South Africa for several years, notably its 2007 move to take
a $5.5 billion, 20% stake in the country's Standard Bank conglomerate.
The Chinese are significant and generally welcome investors throughout
Africa, but their investments and presence has generated controversy in
many countries because of their penchant to rely on Chinese laborers for
their projects. In some African countries, importing Chinese labor
provides a low-cost and highly trained advantage relative to their
host-nation citizens.
South Africa possesses a labor abundant and highly training work force,
however. Chinese labor provides no advantage in South Africa, and instead,
can be a threat to South African labor interests, and, by extension,
political stability.
South Africa faces significant labor tensions over issues like
unemployment and poor social service delivery. Official unemployment,
using a narrow definition of workers continuing to seek jobs, is about
25%; if using a broader definition of unemployment incorporation workers
who have given up seeking a job, the unemployment rate is estimated at
40%. The African National Congress (ANC) ruling party, led currently by
President Jacob Zuma, governs in what is called a tri-partite alliance,
together with a pro-labor organization called the Congress of South
African Trade Unions (COSATU) and the South African Communist Party
(SACP). While the SACP, with a membership of approximately 50,000
nation-wide, is largely an intellectual outlet (that is, proposing policy
positions and alternatives) within the ruling party system, COSATU is a
very active and powerful body whose membership of about 2 million workers
is distributed throughout all the major economic sectors of the country.
COSATU, because of its sizeable membership, which it frequently is able to
mobilize to demand government attention, is a kingmaker within the ANC.
Ignoring COSATU is possible and has been done by ANC-led governments, but
is risky and comes with the potential of significant economy-wide labor
disruption [LINK], as well as a more individual-oriented threat should
COSATU shift its political support to rival ANC leaders and members. For
his part, Zuma became South African president in large part to the support
given to him by COSATU in his leadership bid against his predecessor Thabo
Mbeki. Securing a second term beyond 2014 - let alone govern in the
meantime and pursue policies leading to economic performance gains for
South Africa - will require Zuma to constantly manage a working
accommodation with the umbrella labor organization.
COSATU has been reported in South African media criticizing the Chinese
telecommunications worker episode, as evidence of "human trafficking"
requiring further investigation. The Zuma-led government will not likely
let Chinese investment deals break down, but at the same time, the ANC
will, to ensure its own domestic success, be forced to put constraints on
Chinese economic moves, limiting Beijing to what it can achieve in terms
of labor, unlike what it is much more free to do in much of the rest of

Riding the Wind
It's almost a cliché to quote Bob Dylan's song, Blowin' in the Wind. In fact, it is a cliché. But so what? The answer — at least one of the answers for your waterfront program — could really be Blowin' in the Wind. Windsurfing, that is. And, even if you already run a program, here are some more tips and tricks for running a great program.
A successful windsurfing program will provide your campers with…
1. That glint in their eye of "getting it" — sailing around on their own confidently.
2. Improved self esteem and confidence.
3. A thorough understanding of the relationship between the sail and the wind, which translates directly to sailing.
4. A wonderful form of exercise.
5. A peaceful and enjoyable time on the water.
6. Enjoyment of a very environmentally-friendly sport.
7. A lifetime sport. Once kids learn to windsurf, they can return to it again and again throughout their lives, like getting on a bicycle or clicking into a pair of downhill skis.
Controlling the Elements
Here are the elements necessary to get a successful windsurfing program in place:
1. Your key staff person. This person should be excited about teaching windsurfing and be a good sailor in light to moderate winds at a minimum.
2. Certification. To be sure the kids get quality instruction, we recommend your key staff person be US Sailing (www.ussailing.org) certified. When your key person is a US Sailing Certified windsurfing instructor, they have the tools necessary to get kids sailing in a very short period of time with great enthusiasm. Check with vendors on scheduling certification courses and package deals.
3. CPR and first aid certifications. All staff that work in the waterfront programs should have these certifications.
The equipment:
1. Windsurfing boards that provide total stability so the kids can focus on learning what to do with the sail without thinking about their balance. Windsurfing boards have become quite short and wide, making them really easy to balance on, unlike years ago. Although there are many choices in today's market, there is no single "perfect" choice, but the list that is easy for the kids to learn on, is reasonable on camp budgets, and is durable for the long haul is short.
2. Two general types of boards are offered, epoxy sandwich construction with expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam core, ASA skin and EVA foam glued to the deck, and blow molded construction with polypropylene skin, non-skid deck, and urethane foam core.
ASA/EPS/EVA deck board construction — The EVA deck is very comfortable to climb up and stand on in comparison to a non-skid deck, and these boards are shorter and wider than the current generation of polypropylene boards, with full buoyancy extending right to the edge of the board, providing the most stable platform for kids.
These boards are also lighter and stiffer vs. polypropylene constructions giving them more optimum planing performance. They offer a very high level of resistance to damage by incorporating an EVA padded deck, nose bumper and ASA plastic protective outer skin.
The disadvantage of ASA hulls is less puncture and ding resistance vs. polypropylene construction. ASA boards use an EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam core which can absorb water if the outer skin is punctured to expose foam.
Any puncture of this type must be repaired before returning the hull to the water, or you risk water weight gain and long term damage to the hull. A five-minute epoxy called Ding Stick is a useful material for quick and easy repairs.
Blow-molded polypropylene technology's best feature is its durability in a camp environment. These products can really take abuse and last a very long time. These boards are difficult to puncture, but if punctured, the urethane foam core does not absorb water, so it does not require repair and it will not gain weight.
The outer skin is polypropylene, which maintains a strong bond with the inner urethane core. The disadvantage of polypropylene technology is its heavier weight, less stiff and non-padded deck surface vs. ASA/EPS boards. Also the non-skid deck surface can be a bit rough on knees and elbows when new.
An element to consider is whether your camp boards should have a removable center fin or a retractable daggerboard. The retractable daggerboard offers greater versatility, stability on the water, adjustability and upwind performance versus center fin type boards. A removable center fin is not big enough to make it easy for kids to succeed at going upwind windsurfing so I recommend boards that have a retractable daggerboard.

What do we really do at CrossFit Cleveland?
Whole 30 over and done.
Staci and I completed our fall run of the Whole30 Program the day before our wedding anniversary in November. We cut it a few days short since we were celebrating and had no good reason to abstain from a few beverages and restaurant food that weekend. This was our second go around with the Whole30 and it's probably my last for a while. Staci basically eats this way most days anyways with the exception of her sharing some of my grain or fried food allowances when we go out to lunch once or twice a week. For me, I just don't have the energy to get through my days when I eliminate all grains from my diet for an extended period of time. I like to have a sandwich a few times a week, usually with gluten free bread or wraps that I buy at Earth Fare or grilled rye bread if I am at a restaurant.
Do I think it (Whole30) is something everyone should try? Yes, I think it's a great way to eliminate everything potentially bad for you for 30 days and then slowly reintroduce certain foods, one at a time, to see if you have any noticeable reaction or consequence from eating them.
If you don't want something as extreme as Whole30, just start to eliminate crap from your daily eating. My opinions change from time to time based on newly acquired knowledge and experience, so here is my current list of what to eliminate or drastically reduce if you are trying to lose excess fat.
1. Sugar, in any processed form. Table sugar, high fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin, dextrose, etc. Here is an article that includes a list of what they call code words for "sugar". If it's processed and tastes sweet, don't eat or drink it.
2. Cheap vegetable oils in any form. Instead use olive oil or coconut oil and eat avocados, macadamia nuts and almonds.
3. Enriched breads and flours
4. Starchy foods like potatoes, pasta, rice and cereals
If you've given up 1 through 4, you'll be hungry. Make sure you increase your intake of good fats and don't make the mistake of eating too much protein to make up for the loss of necessary calories. This is a tricky adjustment that takes some time to get right. It's not something that has an exact formula since you are not exactly like anyone else.
My favorite approach is still the Zone Diet. Basically equal amounts of calories from protein, carbohydrates and fat at every meal. Once you establish a baseline you can adjust the percentages to fit your lifestyle and fat loss and/or weight gain goals. I reduce carbohydrates and increase fat intake so I'm like 30% protein, 20% carb and 50% fat. That works for me.
There is a great article in the CrossFit Journal that outlines the Zone Diet, CrossFit Journal Issue 21
If you have any questions about getting started on the Zone or adjusting where you are with it now, just ask Staci or Bill at the gym. We are happy to help you.
1 week down, 3 to go – Whole30
It's actually more than a week, today is Day 10 of our strict paleo venture into what is called the Whole30 Program created by Whole9 founders Dallas and Melissa Hartwig. Instead of posting a day by day, meal by meal accounting of our progress, aka boring as hell, I figured I'd wait until we got well into this gig before writing an update.
Why should you even be reading this?
Our intended audience is primarily members of our CrossFit gym, CrossFit Cleveland in Rocky River, OH. Many of our members struggle with cleaning up their eating habits and Staci and I want to help them in any way we can. If you know us, you know we really care about helping people better themselves. If you don't know us, it's not my intention to convince you to listen to us. We are not nutritionalists or licensed dieticians, we simply offer advice and guidance based our our personal experiences over the years. We don't tell people what they should eat or develop specific eating plans, we teach them what NOT to eat. Our mottos is "Stop eating crap, eat real food." Remember?
Our job is to coach and make you better. It's not important whether or not we can qualify for the CrossFit Games. What's important is that we can help you become better. Better than yesterday. We do it every day and we have since early 2007. You will find countless CrossFit Affiliate owners and coaches, I might even say most, who will outperform us in the Open and other local competitions. You won't however find many who are more knowledgeable and disciplined with their own nutrition than we are. Many talk a good game but really eat like shit believing that crushing their next wod will make it all better. It might seem to work for a while, but eventually age catches up with you and you pay dearly.
Personally, I know this all too well. I went off the rails in my late 30′s, securing my role as the consummate lazy executive. I ate too much, drank too much and smoked too much. My most strenuous activity consisted of leaning over and pulling a golf ball out of a little white cup 36 to 54 times a week. One day I had had enough and decided to get lose some weight and get myself back into the shape I was in when I was in my 20′s. I've done that and feel the experience is enough of a reason for someone to listen to what I have to say on the subject. We started a CrossFit Affiliate in early 2007 and have been helping people every since. You can read our quick training Bios on our CrossFit Cleveland Trainer's Page. This page will soon be updated to include info all of our current trainers: Tom, Ross, Scott, Jon, Emily & Mike as well as our trainer in training Zach.
Enough of my ramblings, back to the Whole 30.
Since Staci and I completed our first Whole30 Program in January 2012, we've heard from a bunch of people about their results. The truth is, most people fail within the first few days. It seems that if you get past the first week your chances successfully completing the entire 30 day period are pretty good. The first few days will most likely bring out the crab ass in you. If you and your spouse/partner/live-in are both doing this you should expect a few collisions right off the bat. Deal with it, things get better in a few days.
If you are going cold turkey away from a lot of crap foods, these first few days will be almost unbearable. If you are like us, it' wasn't so bad. The biggest adjustment for Staci and me is completely eliminating drinking. We knew the first few days would be easy since we started on a Monday following a pretty good party weekend with our boating friends. The real test would be the first weekend. Here it is Wednesday and I can honestly say I'm not sure when I'll pour myself another vodka cranberry. I don't miss it at all and I'm glad for the break. Now I will admit that I could have easily enjoyed a Patty Melt smothered in mayonnaise or a Rueben and a cold beer last Saturday afternoon at Deagan's in Lakewood, but I quickly brushed off that craving.
What's most important?
The most important thing for you to do is to have plenty of good food prepared in advance for your meals. Staci and I spend a few hours together every week preparing plenty of food. In order to make it through this 30 day program without fail, we have to pack every meal that we eat away from home. It's sounds like a real pain, but it gets easier the more often you do it. Here is a video from our Bill & Staci's Paleo Kitchen series showing how fast I can pack two meals on the go.
So what has been the hardest?
The hardest thing for me is making sure I eat enough food. The total elimination of grains leaves me a calorie void that I must fill in order to have the energy to support my activities. I have to be careful not to increase my fat intake too much. I eat a lot of olive oil, avocados and macadamia nuts – all easy items to over do. I am able to eat a decent amount of fruit but you should be careful if you are trying to lose weight. Watch your fructose intake, even if you are eating organic, locally grown, blah blah blah fruit. Fructose is fructose and your body can only handle so much before it turns it directly into fat. God forbid you have an high fructose corn syrup(HFCS), that shit is poison. I know you wouldn't accidently touch that stuff since you have given up all processed foods on your Whole30 Program, but in case you are just dabbling and don't know that HFCS is really bad for you, IT IS.
Here is a quick reference sheet on getting started with the Whole30, Whole30 Quick Start Guide. The Whole9 website is full of informational material. If you need more, just Google the topic, you'll find an endless supply of information for you to chew on.
More from me later, have a great week!
Here goes nothing, Whole30 once again
I've been waiting for a good time to start posting here and time keeps ticking away. Yesterday Staci and I started our 2nd Whole30 nutrition program as a way to end the summer boating season make up for some eating and drinking indiscretions of late. I figured this is as good a time as any to start logging our progress in an attempt to help others who are looking to do the same.
Our simple nutrition tip has always been "Stop eating crap, eat real food". If you want an extreme dose of this concept, try the Whole30 program. It's not for the faint of heart or the undisciplined. However you successfully complete it you will be amazed at the changes in your life in terms of health and fitness, even if you don't exercise.
Day one started off yesterday following a full 8 hours of sleep the night before. Breakfast consisted of three of Staci's paleo egg & sausage muffins and a batch of her beanless chili made with grass fed beef. About an hour later I had a Refuel Bar from Amrap Nutrition prior to my morning workout. These bars have become a big hit with many of our members at CrossFit Cleveland. Lunch and dinner looked about the same, both consisting of a kale salad with steamed broccoli, 4 ounces of filet mignon left over from our weekend steak roast and clam bake and grilled chicken I cooked earlier that afternoon, and a handful of almonds. Lots of water and a couple cups of coffee throughout the day. Nothing sexy, just good, real food.
More to come, stay tuned.
Whole9's original program designed to change your life in 30 days. Think of it as a short-term nutritional reset, designed to help you restore a healthy metabolism, heal your digestive tract, calm systemic inflammation and put an end to unhealthy cravings, habits, and relationships with food. Since 2009, thousands of people have used our program as a jump-start to changing the way they eat for the rest of their lives.
What's to come?
I'll be using this site as a central posting location for articles, ideas, thoughts, comments, articles and various tidbits that pop into my head from time to time. Everything from fitness and nutrition tips, business and personal development suggestions, news, events and anything else I feel valuable enough to share with my friends, associates & clients.
Please feel free to email me questions about anything and I will do my best to give you my thoughts or point you to what I feel are valuable resources on the net that can better answer your question(s).

Our work includes expanding access to family planning and reproductive health services, promoting gender parity in education, providing social safety nets and insurance, and helping people acquire the resources and skills to secure decent jobs and provide for their families.
Getting to equal is a smart investment. By closing gender gaps in human development, the Bank is helping developing countries reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), enhance productivity and growth, and promote the well-being of all their people.

Evercore Partners Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results; Increases Quarterly Dividend To $0.22 Per Share
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, Evercore's U.S. GAAP effective tax rate was approximately 49% and 46%, respectively, compared to 82% and 58%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The effective tax rate for U.S. GAAP purposes reflects significant adjustments relating to the tax treatment of certain compensation transactions, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of non-U.S. subsidiaries as well as the non-controlling interest associated with Evercore LP Units. The effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, was lower than the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to a higher level of expected foreign sourced income in 2012.
Balance Sheet
The Company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet, holding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $205.2 million at September 30, 2012. Current assets exceed current liabilities by $184.3 million at September 30, 2012. Amounts due related to the Long-Term Notes Payable were $100.9 million at September 30, 2012.
During the quarter the Company repurchased approximately 1,015,000 shares at an average cost of $24.23 per share.Evercore also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 5 million shares of Evercore Class A Common Stock and/or Evercore LP partnership units. Under this share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. This program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date. Dividend On October 22, 2012, the Board of Directors of Evercore declared a quarterly dividend of $0.22 per share to be paid on December 14, 2012 to common stockholders of record on November 30, 2012.

James Haskell's Fitness Trend Predictions for 2014 Focus on Playtime
There seems to be a new fitness trend every month, a breakthrough fitness regime that's guaranteed to make us drop a dress size. What ever happened to child's play, the games we would play oblivious to the fact that we were actually getting a great workout? Not only are these reminiscent routines a fun alternative to ordinary exercise, they are also a great way of saving on a costly gym membership!
Every generation had its trends,
- · If you're in your 50s and a child of the 60s you'll remember good old British bull-dog, tag, hop-scotch, red rover and hide-and-seek
- · If you are now in your 40s you would have spent the 70s skipping, roller skating, hula hooping and severely dodgy break-dancing
- · Those of you in your 30s and an 80s babies would have spent your days skateboarding, roller skating, BMX-ing, ice skating and doing gymnastics
- · Children of the 90s – remember those micro-scooters, trampolining, laser quest and snowboarding on the dry ski slope?
James Haskell has predicted that we'll be revisiting some old favourites to stay in shape in 2014!
The benefits of skipping
- · Skipping works your legs, your calves, your quads as well as your cardiovascular system. It's a great exercise widely used by many sports people, requiring an entire body hit of conditioning.
The benefits of roller skating/ blading
- · Rollerblading again will work your leg muscles and depending on for how long and how fast you go, you will build some body conditioning too.
The benefits of BMX/ cycling
- · Cycling is great for lower body toning and of course offers a huge fitness element. This is probably the most popular family fitness activity and with smart phone applications like 'Strava Cycling', you can compete against other cyclists in your area. The perfect incentive for those of you who are competitive! I would say a minimum of 30 minutes a day to start building a good base for yourself and keeping the whole family in shape, is the ideal place to start.
The benefits of hiking/walking
- · As we enter the season of big lunches and over-indulgence there is nothing like getting out of the house with all the family, irrespective of age and going for a long country walk or a brisk hike. An hour's walk over different gradients will raise the heart rate and help to burn off some of calories. Just make sure you have the appropriate supportive footwear and clothing on when you do so.
The benefits of yoga
- · With all the child's play games aside, one fitness trend that's been around for generations and is most defiantly not going anywhere is Yoga. Yoga has a host of benefits for every generation, whether it's increasing flexibility, which helps with every type of sport, or improving upper body stabilisation, the benefits are endless and the time to start is now. They say the earlier you start, the greater the benefits, so why wait.
We also asked James about his advice for busy people and here's what he said…
You can do the following at your desk
– Chair squat
Squat down in front of your chair without supporting yourself. Then lower slowly down so your bottom just touches the seat of the chair then come up again. Keeping the weight through your heels. Keep your head up.
3 x 20 reps is good with a break of 30 seconds between reps.
– Chair or desk dips
Use either the edge or front of the chair to perform a dip. Make sure the chair is rigid and strong enough to undertake the exercise. Have your back facing the edge of the desk, arms bent. Have your legs out in front of you and your weight is going through your hands. You dip down and then push up. Feeling it in your triceps
3x 10 reps with a break of 30 seconds between reps
– press ups
Either perform normal press-ups on front of your desk or if you feel adventurous, put your feet on the chair and hands on the floor. This makes things harder.
3 x 8-10 reps with a break of a minute between reps
– lunges
Again one for in front of the desk – normal lunges, keeping good form and body shape
3 x10 each leg
– Sit- ups
Crunches – Lay on the floor, flat on your back. Keeping hips pressed to the ground with knees bent and feet flat to the floor. Hands behind your head.
Raising-up your torso, curling the shoulders towards the pelvis, with the lower back remaining on the floor.
3×10 reps with a break of 30 seconds between reps
Quick Nutrition tips
– avoid all processed food such as white bread
– Avoid Breakfast cereals – they are full of sugar.
– always try and eat a good breakfast – eggs and broccoli or any green vegetable with a protein shake but always with water NOT milk.
– They say eat 5 pieces of fruit a day. In truth don't worry too much about the fruit – always eat vegetables but without any sauces, with every meal.
• Don't watch the kids, join them! Tips and advice on the best ways to burn calories whilst out with the kidsTry getting involved with the kids activities. Simple games like tag and hide and seek can be gentle ways of exercising. For the more active playing sports like rounder's or cricket provides a good moderate work-out.
Any form of activity other than just a simple stroll will always be good. Try power walking or maybe with young children, buy a good pram and run with it.
There is also cycling and now you can get a buggy to hitch on to the back of your bike into which you can out your baby or very young children. So there is now no excuse for the whole family not to get involved.
1. Diet is everything. In any successful programme diet will always comprise 70% and exercise 30%. Most people think it's the reverse. There is a great truth in the saying "You can't exercise your way out of a bad diet!"
2. Make small changes and stick to them. Don't try everything or indeed to do everything in one go. Sadly you will never stick to it.
3. Have breakfast every day – protein based ideally. Eggs are great
4. Eat a massive variety of vegetables, put a lot colours into your food. Don't worry too much about fruit. Vegetables are more important and remember with vegetables you can eat as much as you want
5. Avoid processed food and ready meals
6. Try and exercise for at least 10 minutes a day, every day. Get your heart rate-up. Walk the dog; go running, do some body weight work just do something!
7. Always seek advice and guidance before you start. So may diets and exercise plans fail because people get disillusioned. That's because they were doing it all wrong to start with and sadly they were never going to achieve what they wanted.
8. Create a plan. As Scott Alexander says "if you walk into a gym without a game plan then walk straight back out again. Get one sorted and then re-enter the gym with purpose, knowledge and vision. Execute the plan with precision." So start properly and stick with it for a minimum of 4 weeks. You have got to give anything you do reasonable time to work. Everyone has an opinion, try it and if you don't get results after giving it a reasonable shot then change. Don't change every 5 minutes and don't give up after the first week or two
9. Preparation is the key. Double-up food when making dinner and put in the fridge for the next day. Hydration is also key, Avoid fizzy drinks, especially the diet ones as they are more often or not worst for you to drink because of the hidden sugar levels.
10. Keep a record of your results and achievements through pictures and measurement's. Avoid worrying about the scales.

(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) Whiskey has deep roots in Kentucky and even plays a central role in Toby Keith's smash hit "Beer For My Horses," but it's Keith's new signature mezcal that's sweeping the states this summer.
Kentucky's 32 Kroger stores have added Toby Keith's Wild Shot Mezcal to their adult beverage offerings, with the official launch taking place Friday, July 15. Some locations couldn't wait, however, as demonstrated in the attached photo, which shows a prominent display for the new Toby-branded spirit
Kroger is just the latest retailer to embrace Keith's new venture. Wild Shot is already available in 22 states and the number is growing quickly for the just-launched brand. Additionally, Wild Shot is proudly served in all of Toby's I Love This Bar And Grill restaurants, which themselves are spreading like wild fire.
And Keith himself has been known to distribute a drop or two, making headlines at his recent Bluebird Café benefit, where in addition to performing he also served up shots to his fellow performers and audience members.
A premium Mezcal authentic down to the worm in the bottom of each bottle, the traditional Mexican cousin to tequila fits perfectly with themes running through many of Keith's songs including "Stays In Mexico," "Bullets In The Gun" and "Good To Go To Mexico."
Recently named Forbes' top earning country performer, Keith is already earning rave reviews for his Ford F-Series sponsored Locked & Loaded Tour, which opened June 30th to a sold-out crowd in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. His new single "Made In America" is the fastest-rising release he's had in the last five years.

As much as it pains us to admit it, BlasterCON year 2 will have to be pushed to 2015.
Mr. & Mrs. Head Honcho had their first child on Memorial Day 2014, so not only was Baby Emily born on an anniversary of Star Wars, her birthday will just about always fall during FanimeCon, which has got to be auspicious in some way (we keep joking that she will turn out to be the legendary Kwisatz Stafferach, the ultimate convention staffer who will either save or destroy the con universe). As you might imagine, the shock of going from being a DINK geek couple to new parents hasn't been easy on us. Thus far, we've managed to keep the networking and promotion activities going, and are making slow progress on the paperwork and finance end of things.
If you would like to be notified when the next BlasterCON has a confirmed date and location, please:

Well, we are just about done moving "Beta Test Con" out of the hotel. We would like to reassure everyone that this is not the end for our wacky idea, and we will be back next year.
Our first year has been a real nail-biter, ever since mid-March when we began to have one pre-con staffer after another taken out in rapid succession by either a family or health crisis (or both). Our convention chair pulled down double or triple pre-con duty for months, all on top of his usual day job, and only with the extraordinary support of our Guests and veteran staff was the convention able to avoid going under. With the exception of Exhibits and Panels/Video, nearly everything was ultimately ready to go on time, but that was small consolation as all the last minute activity was impossible to advertise effectively.
Financially, we were structured to survive even a disaster of this magnitude, although it really hurts a lot (especially the squashed pride part). Once it became clear that there would be no last minute stick-save of the attendance numbers our priorities immediately shifted towards laying the groundwork for year 2, which meant executing on everything that was already arranged and honoring all commitments that had been made. Dealers were excused from being expected to set up on Sunday, and we supported every presenter who followed through on their scheduled panel or video showing. All Guest, presenter, and Staff amenities were provided as originally agreed, and we had extensive discussions with many of them about what direction to go from here.
As a result the vast majority of our Guests, presenters, and Staff have already expressed an interest in returning for year 2. We have informed the hotel that we have a short list of critical concerns but are otherwise immediately interested in starting discussions on a contract for 2014. The weekend will be earlier in the year, probably late winter, as the entire month of May is now too full of conflicts, both expected and unexpected, for a unique and admittedly untested concept like ours.
Everyone who purchased paid attendance for this year will be automatically entered into the 2014 registration database, with a free full weekend badge as a thank-you for supporting us with your dollars in spite of the challenges. Once the venue and date for 2014 has been announced, full weekend badges will be available online at an early bird price of $20 each for a limited time (two months) so that everyone who wanted to attend this year, but didn't due to uncertainty, will have a chance to get in on the ground floor for "the real one" next year.
In conclusion, we want to thank everyone who supported us (attendees, guests, dealers, industry, press, the hotel, and last but certainly not least our staff) from the bottom of our hearts. Ultimately, there simply is no BlasterCON without you. Thank you.

We are arranging more panels and have staffers to get the word out about new panels.
If you are interested in presenting, please contact the Programming department.
Due to a severe issue with the hotel internet, we are declaring Friday to be Badges Optional.
Please check out our trio of Trek panels from 5pm to 8pm!

My God, man. Just look at it: It is the sharp-edged, air-slicing scimitar of speed, slicing its way through the atmosphere with efficiencies only dreamed of in the era of the Countach, Diablo and Murcielago, writes Mark Vaughn at Autoweek.com. The Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 roadster is a 217-mph argument against restraint, says Vaughn. With a shape inspired by a combination of stealth fighter and (we are not making this up) an Italian beetle, and with a monstrous V12 you'd expect on a rocket ship, this beast is the fitting halo successor to the Lamborghini line.
Or, in more pedestrian terms, it is the Aventador coupe with a removable roof. The double-shell carbon-fiber roof panels make for a tightly fitting top that increases structural rigidity when clamped firmly in place.
Reinforcements totaling 110 pounds to the carbon-fiber frame keep the body tight with or without the roof in place. With the roof in place, the roadster is 1 inch lower than the coupe, and you have to adjust your seat accordingly. But we fit our gangly 6'1" carcass in there without scraping our coif on the suede-lined ceiling, despite a freakishly long torso.
The 6.5-liter V12 is the same as the one in the coupe. It makes 690 hp ("Just say 700," Lambo President Stephan Winkelmann urged us, with a smile) at 8,250 rpm and 509 lb-ft of torque at 5,500 revs. Cylinder deactivation that alternates shutting off left and right banks of the engine along with supercapacitor-powered stop/start system gives this beast 14.7 mpg combined. That's not much by Honda's standards, but a respectable increase by the standards of Sant' Agata, where even double-digit mileage wasn't always recorded.
The seven-speed paddle-operated "Independent Shifting Rod" automatic is smaller and lighter than a DSG, Lamborghini says. While one shifting rod disengages one gear, the other shifting rod is already engaging the next, allowing gear changes in as little as 50 milliseconds. It shifts in three modes: strada, sport and corsa.
A pushrod suspension at each corner not only helps keep the roadster lower, but allows more precise spring and damper control, which in turn does a better job of keeping the 255/30ZR20 front and 355/25ZR21 rear Pirelli P Zero Corsas on the ground.
What is it like to drive?
With just over 5 pounds of curb weight for each unit of horsepower, this is one of the world's most extraordinary cars in which to mash the throttle. Lamborghini says it reaches 100 km/h in 3 seconds which, of course, means it'll reach 60 mph somewhere in the upper twos. Top speed is listed at 217 mph with or without the roof in place, and indeed, reviewers at Autoweek were impressed with airflow over the open cockpit up to their lead-follow-limited top track speed of somewhere over 125 mph. Chief engineer Maurizio Reggiani said the roadster body creates only downforce, not lift, so we have every reason to believe it would remain stable at terminal velocity.
Do I want it?
What kind of question is that? Everybody wants it! Sure, it's not really light and nimble, but it is wildly efficient in a straight line, whether blasting to terminal velocity or merely cruising slowly through South Beach with booming bass blasting the kidney stones of innocent camera-wielding bystanders.
It could all be yours for less than a half-million bucks. Prices start at $445,300, including gas-guzzler tax. You could add somewhere between $60,000 and $70,000 in options, and the personalization program could go well beyond that. But that's a small price to pay for what chief engineer Reggiani calls, "The most extraordinary Lamborghini ever."

We are going to buy another one for the wedding next autumn. Tue 19 Aug 2014 Fantastic product will defo be buying more of this product! Fri 08 Aug 2014 Excellent service, fabulous products Sat 19 Jul 2014 No comment supplied. Sat 21 Jun 2014 Really well made product, will be lovely as a 'memory bunny' for my children when they leave their school. Thu 12 Jun 2014 Could be improved by having (child-safe) eyes and embroidered nose. I coloured these in- baby immediately sucked bear'snose- I'm not sure if fabric pen ink is safe for child to suck! A novel and special Christening gift signed by those present at the Christening. Wed 28 May 2014 Well made and clever idea Wed 12 Mar 2014 lovely product Thu 27 Feb 2014 Arrived in a cute box, great quality, exactly as described! :-) Wed 19 Feb 2014 Beautiful 3d bunny, my niece loved it! So thank you Mon 17 Feb 2014 It was such an unusual gift for my granddaughters naming day. I contacted customer service as had left order a little late. They were brilliant, bumped my order up the queue and it arrived in good time. Thanks so much Tue 19 Nov 2013 Fast delivery, product well packaged and presented. Thu 14 Nov 2013 The product was really lovely and so well made. All the girls loved it Mon 11 Nov 2013 I purchased the Keepsake 'Write On Me' bear (actually I ordered the small dog) for a friend's adoption celebration day. It's a beautiful item and a wonderful way to remember any special occasion, with little messages from everyone who was there. My only small criticism was that the small 3D dog, was somewhat smaller than expected. Yes, I did see the product dimensions, but as it only gives one dimension, and there was no picture of the dog, I was a little disappointed that it was so small (because the small dog is a sausage dog shape, it's quite 'skinny' and the width dimension was not stated on the product page). I also paid the extra for a gift box and calico bag and the dog did arrive beautifully packaged. All-in-all, a lovely keepsake for a little girl who loves doggies! Wed 18 Sep 2013 Great product Sun 08 Sep 2013 Great service from the seller Wed 04 Sep 2013 I bought this product for 1st birthday with the aim of writing messages on the rabbit as a keep sake. Unfortunately the pen runs too much to do much on the smal rabbit so we wrote on the burlap bag that we ordered too. Athough the pens still bled on the bag material it just about worked and baby now has lots of lovely first birthday messages to read back on when she is older and a bag containing a unique rabbit and all her 1st birthday cards. Tue 13 Aug 2013 Very helpful and quick reply email confirming the item could be sent at short notice in time to be a christening present! It was used as an alternative guestbook/wishbook with lots of kind messages and sincerities written for the occasion as a keepsake. Great gift!

Warning: This game contains pr0n or strong violence. You probably knew it and that might be the reason you are here in the first place. You shouldn't download this unless you're 18 or therearound - otherwise you will have nightmares and/or problems getting out of the bed quickly in the morning. You have been warned.
Adult management game, where you train female anime/game characters in erotica. The year should not be seen as a fact, as it is unsure when the game was made.
Developer's description:
This is a fan hentai parody of the game 'Princess Maker'. You are a slave trainer in the kingdom of Moiya. You are contracted to train a girl to become the ideal slave. She will be trained in many fields but sex is a significant part of the training. Each girl has a training time before she is turned over to her owner and in that time you need to try have maximise her abilities.
There are dresses and other items that help this, and also potions of various effects. Part of the interest in the game can be learning what these things do and where they can be found.
The girls are various characters from anime and games, their personalities will be similar but not identical to their source. Also note for this game they are all 18 or older (despite the occiasonal school uniform you may see).
Developer: cmacleod42, based on original code by Pooolka.
After they released version 3.0 they renamed it to Slavemaker 3.
No reviews. Write one?
I'm not sure if "Slave Maker 3" is still the same game. I think Scythe mentioned that it is quite different from "Slave Maker Revised. Will look at it and in case that it is very different we should decide if we upload the older version.
I think we even have an own thread for "Slave Maker 3".

White Memorial- RN New Grad 2013 - page 12
hi everyone! Who else has applied and does anyone know by when will they start to contact us for interviews? This would be my last chance to get into a new grad program, otherwise I would have to wait til the summer. So please... Read More
- 0Dec 7, '12 by caseywesttDoes anyone know if CCU and DOU are the same unit at white? Is CCU critical care or cardiac care? I was also asked to come in to interview with CCU/DOU and I don't know if it's the same unit or two different! Help! (:
- 0Dec 7, '12 by CareBear27Caseywestt- believe the CCU encompasses many units including DOU
- 0Dec 7, '12 by CareBear27Sorry caseywestt I haven't posted enough messages to be able to pm. I accepted an offer in the ED.
- 0Dec 8, '12 by CareBear27The med test is pretty basic
- 0Dec 8, '12 by nglaurenRNCaseywestt-
I believe DOU/CCU is the same unit... Just because I know that some of the patients there are still critical. Also, the interview was so much more relaxed than the panel and I really liked the DOU manager! I didn't interview for ER so I don't know
btw, are you really getting 3 interviews? i thought we only get 2 choices?
Good luck with your interview! You'll do well and hopefully get the job!
Quote from caseywesttHi nglaurenRN!I will definitely try to find out more and let you know what they say! (: I am curious to find out when we would be notified by as well. How was the DOU interview? Also, kind of a stupid question but do you know if the DOU is the same as the CCU at white? When I was asked to come for the interview, they said it was for DOU/CCU. Not sure if it's the same unit, or if there will just be two different units on the same panel! I just want to be prepared! (:Has anyone interviewed for the float pool??Also, Lauren- did you interview for the ED as well? I have that interview coming up and the ED is my top choice. I'm already getting super nervous and trying to prepare myself as best as possible. Any advice?Good luck to you!! I'll keep you posted with what I find out next week. Stay positive!! (:
- 0Dec 8, '12 by caseywesttWell, technically two interviews. But for my second interview the ED and float pool will be on the panel (at least that's what they said). Thanks so much for your help!
- 1Dec 20, '12 by nglaurenRNAfter a month of waiting for my damn phone to ring, hoping that it's from White Memorial... They finally did and offered me the job! I'm on cloud 9 right now! lol
- 1Dec 20, '12 by CareBear27NglaurenRN, congratulations!!!

May 1st 2013. ANDY'S UNPOPULAR OPINIONS. Happy May Day - I'm celebrating by going to a Beer Tasting Party given by the Molson Company. After a half-century of studying military history my motto is, "Let's have More Beer - and Less War."
Today's Wall Street Journal ran ANOTHER Article in a Long Line of Articles that in my opinion advocate: Murder, War, and the Breaking of International Law.
Today's WSJ has an article of page A17 titled, "The Case for Pre-Emptive War, From Goliath to the Dardanelles," by Andrew Roberts, a British so-called "historian" who was a great friend of George W Bush, Dick Cheney and the expansion of wars against Muslims.
Andrew Roberts was one of the many military morons who advocated the "Pre-Emptive" US SURGE in Iraq and Afghanistan that totally and forever destroyed Al Qaeda in the World. (Al Qaeda is destroyed - isn't it?)
The Pentagon's stupid SURGE murdered 1100 young Americans - 50 times the Sandy Hook murders, and 400 times the Boston Bombing murders.
While Mr. Roberts was writing about how Pre-Emptive attacks like the US SURGE against Al Qaeda ALWAYS WORK. In the same WSJ, on page A16 to the left of the above articles is a Map showing how strong Al Qaeda has become in the World.
Maybe that was intentional? Maybe some WSJ editors are stealthily sticking it to their Masters who are always pushing to start a war between America and Iran?
Once again we have the constant WSJ drumbeat about how Israel is going to attack Iran, and the implication is that America MUST do it first and NOT let Israel get all of the Historic Glory.
As one of America's proven best grand strategists, for over five years I've predicted that Israel WILL NOT attack Iran by itself. Not now, and not forever. The grand strategy of the Zionists is to fight to the last American Soldier and the last American Dollar. While their Zionist troops stay on the Tel Aviv beach drinking beer. Hey, it's worked perfectly up to now.
Mr. Roberts writes in the WSJ, "Thinking counterfactually, as historians are occasionally permitted to do..." WHAT! As an historian myself, I didn't know that the provable Historical FACTS are irrelevant. In my opinion, Nazi and Stalinist "Histories" think "counterfactually," but not honest historians. Or, honest anythings.
Mr. Roberts writes, "Massive pre-emption has been the ONLY Sensible strategy when facing a new weapon in the hands of one's sworn enemy REGARDLESS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW."
Are Mr. Roberts, and the WSJ, saying that in 1948 (When the USSR got atomic bombs), the USA should have immediately nuclear attacked the USSR and murdered 60 million people?
In 1951, as many US Generals wanted, should the USA have nuclear attacked China and murdered 200 million people? God in heaven, if America had done that who today would be making our shoes and buying our long-term worthless Bonds?
As a SIDE NOTE, "Goliath" (Samuel 1.17) in the above WSJ headline; the FACTUAL truth is that Goliath "Challenged" (i.e. attacked) David. It was the aggressive ATTACKER who died.
In the Dardanelles (in the same WSJ headline), it was the UK British troops who were the ATTACKERS. The Dardanelles was one of the WORST MILITARY DISASTERS in the 1000 year history of English military campaigns.
In WWI it was the Germans who were the attackers by declaring war on the Russians. In WWII in Europe it was AGAIN the Germans who were the attackers in a "Pre-Emptive" attack on Poland. WWII in the Pacific started with Japan ATTACKING China.
I guess thinking "counterfactually" it was Germany that won BOTH WWI and WWII because they were the first to attack?
In Vietnam, it was America that attacked the Vietcong. As Mr. Roberts and the WSJ suggest, the attacker always wins. So thinking "counterfactually" as the Pentagon's General Staff ACTUALLY DOES, Vietnam was clearly and without question a Great Military Victory for America.
Maybe America can have an equally GREAT Military Victory in Iran by once again be Nazis?
"Counterfactually" Mr. Roberts talks about the six million Jews who would supposedly NOT have been killed if only France had a Pre-Emptive attack against German as soon has Hitler re-occupied the Rhineland. (A Rhineland where the German voters WANTED Hitler to re-occupy the territory because they were tired of French troops marching in and shooting Germans).
As a military strategist I've learned that IT'S REALLY EASY to talk about sending in troops to DIE when you're NOT one of those troops. Maybe the French after having LOST A TOTAL GENERATION OF YOUNG FRENCE MEN were not so anxious to lost even more young men for some kind of (at the time) totally obscure if-come?
Mr. Robert apparently CANNOT grasp the FACT that the Holocaust, and the murder of 6 million Jews was in the mind of Hitler, and the minds of the tens of thousands who Directly helped Hitler do the Holocaust, and in the minds of the MILLIONS of Europeans who approved of the Holocaust. In ALL of their minds the Holocaust was PRE-EMPTIVE LAW ENFORCMENT.
The Holocaust was Against International Law, but like Mr. Roberts de facto says, WHO GIVES A FLYING FIG ABOUT THE LAW? Especially where the murder of thousands (if not millions) of women and children are concerned.
Mr. Robert and the WSJ, in the article, in my opinion are saying that International Law is totally irrelevant. In my view they are saying that if you think somebody is a possible future threat then you not only have a Legal Right to murder them, you have a Moral obligation to God to murder them, (This is what Hitler believed). Following Mr. Robert's line of reasoning, the "Holocaust" NEVER HAPPENED as a crime. It happened because Jews were communists, and enemies of Germany, and that gave Hitler the LEGAL and MORAL RIGHT to kill any and all Jews as "Pre-Emptive" Law Enforcement. Right?
Apparently from what Mr. Roberts is saying his answer would be, "Yes." But my answer would be "NO."
I believe that International Law must not only be obeyed, but expanded, FOR EVERYONE ALL OF THE TIME. I believe that those who attack FIRST are legally by definition WRONG - be they Nations or individuals. If I'm out at night getting some milk at a 7/11, and I see a Black man by the store and believe he's going to hurt me; do I have a right to shoot and kill him because in my mind he was a threat? Even if he was a real threat, do I have to right to aggressively attack him first and kill him? I say, "No." However. apparently Mr. Roberts and the WSJ would apparently DEEPLY DISAGREE with me.
The one factor that I do sincerely love about President Obama, and the BIGGEST FACTOR in his re-election. Is the FACT that President Obama is NOT a dupe of the American troop murdering Zionists. President Obama is NOT buying the Con Game.
On the other hand, the BIGGEST factor in Romney's DEFEAT was that he was a total DUPE of the Zionists. A President Romney would have murdered thousands, or tens of thousands, of American Troops in Iran. However, none of the murdered US soldiers would have been Romney's sons because they would never have joined the US Army, and none of the troops dying in Iran would be Israeli troops.

What happened on the 7th Heaven premiere
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 09-18-2003 - 9:46pm
|Fri, 09-19-2003 - 12:52am
The show began with all of the camdens at a beach house on vacation at the end of summer. Apparently in the beginning of the summer Simon ran over and killed some kid who was riding his bike. the boys family is suing the camdens for some money because they dont agree on the amount the insurance company wants to give them. In the end of the show though they reveal that the boy was into drugs and it probably wasn't simons fault, so the agree to settle out of court but they want simon to switch schools since the boy's older brother goes to simons school. the boy's parents are afraid of what their older son will do to simon. At the end of the show, simon gets on a plane and goes to see matt, without telling his parents.
Lucy is not pregnant, but her and her husband agree to start trying to get pregnant.
Ruthie finds out that Mary is married to Carlos (some guy that the camdens took in a while back). Carlos came to the camden door wanting to tell mary's parents that they were married. Ruthie and lucy figure out that mary must be pregnant.
I hope this info is what you were looking for. It's late here so i am sorry if i missed any big news, but i think this is the jist of it.
|Fri, 09-19-2003 - 2:47pm
That was the jist of it. Not the wonderful premiere I had hoped for but I still love this show. I'll be sad when Simon leaves, and I miss Matt, but Mary I've never cared for really.
BTW, last night on the premiere of the ______ (can't remember the word) Matrix, the lieutenant from 7th was there!

We got busy in the kitchen!
Luckily we had some GREAT helpers…
After they baked up and cooled we were ready to ice!
All that cookie decorating definitely worked up my appetite so lunch was next on the agenda!
After my huge belgian waffle this morning, I was craving some good, healthy, stick-to-my-ribs food!
Cue and avocado and hard boiled egg sandwich…with just a pinch of salt!
I mashed up one half an avocado, hard boiled two eggs then laid everything onto two slices of toasted whole wheat bread:
A pinch of salt for flavor and I was good to go.
On the side I had some strawberries and baby carrots to round it all out…
A pretty delicious meal overall.
I'm off to take a walk while the rain is holding off!

Topic Outline
The ideal abdominal wound closure provides strength and a barrier to infection. In addition, the closure should be efficient, performed without tension or ischemia, comfortable for the patient, and aesthetic.
Closure of abdominal incisions will be reviewed here. Incisions for opening the abdomen, wound healing, and wound complications are discussed separately. (See "Incisions for open abdominal surgery" and "Complications of abdominal surgical incisions".)
Sutures — Wounds have less than 5 percent of normal tissue strength during the first postoperative week, thus wound security is dependent solely upon the suture closure. (See "Closure of skin wounds with sutures" and "Closure of skin wounds with sutures", section on 'Suture materials'.)
Size — Suture should be the smallest caliber that is strong enough to reapproximate the tissue and keep the wound intact during normal postoperative activity [1]. Suture caliber is one factor in minimizing the amount of foreign material in the wound.
Synthetic versus natural — A critical element of effective closure is the choice of suture material. Sutures can be made from natural fibers or produced synthetically. Natural suture materials include silk, linen, and catgut (dried and treated bovine or ovine intestine). Synthetic sutures are made from a variety of textiles such as nylon or polyester, formulated specifically for surgical use.
