Do You Fear Public Speak Too?
Over the last few months I have been on an extending holiday. After writing/publishing my book, and my radio show I needed some time to myself. Or so I thought...Thankfully and gratefully I have been receiving just the right amount of radio interview requests. For those of you who have been keeping up with me you know that public speaking, socializing, or any kind of human contact is not my favorite thing to do. Not that I don't like people. I love people; I just don't always enjoy the way being with other people makes me feel. As I have said for some time now this is all a learning process on my journey. We all travel a path in life, and each is unique that individual.
However, it is very necessary to discuss my book, and get the word out to those who may benefit from the information it provides. By now I have gained the feeling of "old hat" whenever I step to the phone for one of these amazing interview opportunities. I realize that this too is part of my on going journey to be healthier. I was reminded of something a mind coach said to me once in a pin I found...
Most people are afraid of public speaking because they are overly concerned about what those people listening will think of them, or judge them by. Most of these people are strangers so the need to care is only in the mind of fear in my opinion. Thus I can vanquish fear quickly and easily now.
When you are faced with a public speak opportunity treat it as it is. It is merely an opportunity to guide, or educate someone else on a subject your are familiar with. Simple as that. In fact, I don't prepare for my interviews other than to make myself comfortable. I do them "on the fly". After all, the subject material is something I know a lot about so there is no real need to practice anything. If you need notes, or run through then I would surmise the subject material is not that familiar to you, and you should learn more about it prior to speaking on it. I'm not judging here, just stating that the more familiar it is to you the easier it is to talk about, thus relieving the pressure that causes fear.
So...the next time you are faced with a public speaking engagement try having fun with it. Most of the people there don't have the knowledge you have on the subject or they would not be there anyway. You have that advantage starting out. We all make mistakes, and I messed up all the time. I just laugh and go on knowing that the mistakes remind me that I'm alive!
Hope you the best in your endeavors! Blessings friends!
Annie :)

If you don't want to sit through Family Guy just to catch a 30-second advertisement for Diablo III well, you can see it all here. Blizzard just posted the clip this afternoon. Enjoy.
'Evil Is Back' In The Diablo III TV Spot That's Supposed To Air Tonight
Discuss15 Comments | Reply
bobdabuilda GuestApril 30, 2012 12:59 pm
Zap... possibly because it's a game. And one which I am very much looking forward to playing. I'm sure there's probably one or two others around here in the same boat... and this IS a game-oriented site, so they do occasionally talk about game-related stuff here...
April 30, 2012 1:13 pm
I'll throw up a response here, out of sequence, to save post spam.
I'm not complaining about articles containing gaming and related issues being posted, far from it.
My initial reaction was based on the seeming granularity of some articles.
Case in point: Diablo 3 is obviously a much anticipated game, and previous games in the series would have played a large part in the formative years of most modern gamers. It's also a product from Actiblizzard, which are fairly significant for the same reasons and their MMO.
What I'm somewhat confused about is why a 30-second TV ad that simply shows some standard Diablo minions and a release date is then covered. New information about the game, sure. New commentary from someone related to the game, even better.
All this seems to be, to me, is an article showing the TV advert that's going to play in America tonight - it's not even a trailer.
This is why I'm asking "Why is this important?", and also, why do we not have similar articles focused on the other games or devices that have TV ads?
The closest there is is an article ripping on the PSV release of MK because the model in the advert had underwear that cleft to her buttocks.
Again, I understand many people are eager for the game's release, but this is a nothing article about nothing. It's pretty much the same as them paying to have their D3 ad plastered all over the site - only without paying.
justo11 @justo11April 30, 2012 1:42 pm
Do you genuinely not want video game related material to be posted on this site? Or are you unhappy with the commercial? would you have preferred a very short article stating there is going to be a Diablo commercial during family guy tonight?
I for one have viewed the commercial 3 times because i haven't seen any of it before, and because I am super pumped for this game.
Perhaps you would prefer more cosplay of anime characters. Yes that must be it. More cosplay - less games.
April 30, 2012 1:55 pm
I thought I was pretty clear and straight forward in my post.
- No, I'm not interested in more cosplay articles.
- No, I wouldn't prefer an article saying there would be a 30 second advert for a game inside a TV show, no matter what the game was nor the TV show.
- Yes, I would strongly prefer that there aren't articles every time a game has a TV advert, or someone wears a gaming-related Tshirt on TV or in the audience of Jerry Springer's new show.
If you find this advert interesting, you may also find this link interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LfRWPeZnqo
This was the source material for the advert, which is the "Dark Soulstone" trailer shown during BlizConn 2011 (Yup, last year). Being super pumped for the game, I'm deeply surprised you haven't seen it before.
chobi77 @chobi77April 30, 2012 3:33 pm
The whole reason this commercial got reported about is that it has new footage in it (Only a small amount though) go and watch the soulstone cinematic and the watch the trailer, and you will see the new footage.
This is why the commercial has popped up on the web, because people want to see more of the game/cinematic's (even if it's just a tiny bit more).
Cant wait for the 15th. :)
Zingi GuestApril 30, 2012 5:02 pm
Daniel wins. Yes some of the scenes are from the black soulstone (and other previously seen cinematics) but all the scenes with diablo, the silver arch, and tyrael and imperius are completely new. This ad is to be shown during family guy on FOX in the US, Who knows if/when we would get to come across it on TV. It's very rare for PC games (and video games in general) to get commercials in australia. The last one i remember actually seeing on TV and not youtube would be the live action skyrim ad, and that was last year.
dainbramage @dainbramageApril 30, 2012 4:01 pm
As someone who loved and spent far too much time playing the first 2 games (and was extremely excited when d3 was annoinced), the third has distinctly failed to impress me. 18 months ago I'd have been very surprised to be saying this, but I'll be waiting for a steam sale or something. Given that it's a blizzard game though, that'll probably be a long time coming.

Consult with your doctor before starting any exercise program.
This article offers a quick primer on the role of exercise in a healthy lifestyle. It also gives you some great tips for incorporating physical activity into your daily life and some strategies for creating a program that you enjoy. Best of all, it offers you access to a community of like-minded people, who you'll meet on the Live Discussion Message Board.
You'll discover ways to view exercise as a treat, not a chore. You'll learn how beneficial simple physical activity (versus hard-core "working out") can be. You'll also examine strategies for making exercise more fun, interesting and sustainable as you move forward into lifetime health and well-being. Let's begin!
Don't kid yourself: If you don't exercise regularly you're shortchanging yourself when it comes to getting the best results possible.
Why Exercise? Positive Reasons to Get Started
Why is exercise so important? Take a look at the benefits. Regular exercise:
increases your metabolism
speeds fat loss
helps you maintain a healthy weight
builds muscle tone
decreases stress
increases your energy level
decreases your risk of certain diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer
strengthens the heart muscle
widens the arteries that supply extra oxygen-rich blood to weaker areas of the heart
helps keep your skin from sagging as you age
helps you sleep better
reduces your risk of injury
improves balance
maintains bone mass
As you think about exercise, keep one thing in mind: Any physical activity is better than none at all. Don't get discouraged if you lack energy during a single workout or if you miss the occasional day. The key to building a lifetime fitness habit is making fitness fun and accessible. That means doing things you like with people you like and starting with small, achievable goals.
Take a look at the exercise options available to you.
If you're trying to build a fitness habit from scratch, there's good news on the horizon: You don't have to be an elite athlete to be fit. However, you do have to get out there and do something. The truth is that according to the American College of Sports Medicine, as little as 30 minutes of physical activity a day can improve your health. That's the time it takes to watch your favorite sitcom.
So, you ask, does that mean I'm supposed to be in the gym, huffing and puffing for a half-hour a day, every day?
No! Just be sure to do something consistently. Strap on your watch and head out the door. Walk for 15 minutes and see how it makes you feel. Over time, you should increase your time and intensity with a goal of being active for a total of an hour a day. (Don't worry! That hour can be broken up into 15-minute chunks, including everything from aerobics to a brisk bout of housecleaning or yard work!)
The bottom line is this: Your fitness routine has to fit your lifestyle; otherwise you won't stick to it. If all you can manage is a brisk 20-minute walk four days a week, then good for you. If you're like many people, that may be a lot more than you were doing before, and it will help you stay healthy. (That said, more exercise is certainly better.)
And if you're really committed to building a lifelong exercise habit, you need to devise a regimen that you'll actively miss when you aren't able to do it. In other words, you need to have fun. After all, your life is crowded with obligations to family, work and friends, among other things. It's hard to add another commitment to the list. Having fun is the best chance you have of creating a habit you'll stick to.
You may have always viewed exercise as a chore, but the truth is that fitness comes in a lot of flavors, at least one of which you're sure to like. From now on, make yourself a promise: Every time you hear yourself complain about exercise, think about ways to make it fun. For instance, if you like to chat with your best friend, call her up and make a twice-weekly date to meet her at the park for a 20-minute, talk-as-you-walk session.
Types of Exercise
True fitness depends on three factors: aerobic exercise, strength and flexibility. Each plays a critical role in long-term health maintenance.
Aerobic exercise includes brisk walking, jogging, running on a treadmill or outdoors, climbing stairs, swimming, bicycling or sports such as soccer, basketball and any of the countless others that accelerate your heart rate.
Strength training or anaerobic activity involves weight or resistance exercises to condition the large muscles. (Don't worry about bulking up! Weight training offers subtle sculpting that will change the way clothes hang on your body and the way you hold yourself when you walk.) Your target areas should be your stomach, arms, shoulders, chest, and back muscles. Although you can also focus on leg muscles, they tend to build strength as you do aerobics.
Flexibility is also a critical part of fitness, especially as we age. Flexibility helps mobility and also helps us avoid falls. To that end, stretching the major muscle groups at least two days a week is a good idea. Yoga is one way to do it, but even some of the basics, such as touching your toes, are a place to start.
With strength training, it's vital that you use correct form and technique to avoid injury. Consult a professional, whether a trainer at the gym or a video, to learn what to do and how to avoid injury!
So what's the right mix of activities? It depends on a lot of factors, including your age. In general, however, experts advise that:
From 20 to 40, you should focus on building a strong foundation in each area.
From 40 to 65, your goal should be replacing lost muscle in order to maintain strength.
From age 65 and up, your goal should be maintaining flexibility and strength so you can stay active.
Check with your doctor before embarking on an exercise routine. If you're out of shape, you may need to start with only 10 minutes a day. Just make sure that your 10-minute exercise session takes places five times a week. Increase gradually: The body can usually handle a 10 percent increase in workload per week.
Getting Ready.
Before you design a workout, it's important to get a firm fix on your current health. Doing so will allow you to establish a realistic and safe plan to get you from where you are now to where you hope to be in the future. If you're over 35 and you have (or your immediate family has) a history of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or if you're a smoker or mostly inactive, you should visit a doctor before you begin a more intensive fitness regimen. Let your doctor know that you plan to start exercising, and ask him or her if there are any risks you should know about.
Beyond that, there are some additional baseline measures -- specifically your heart rate and your blood pressure -- that you'll want to establish. Knowing them will help you understand your capacity now; it'll also help you mark your progress later, which can be a great motivator as you track your advancement.
Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic endurance is the ability to keep moving for long periods of time; it helps build your cardio-respiratory system, which in turn lowers your risk of heart attack, stroke and pulmonary disease. Aerobic exercise also helps you keep your weight under control by burning calories. In order to maximize aerobic fitness and undertake your new program safely, it's important to know two things at the outset:
Your heart rate is the number of times your heart beats each minute. Regular aerobic exercise will lower your heart rate as your heart becomes more efficient. That means your heart pumps more blood with less work, which means less stress on this vital organ. To measure your resting heart rate, find your pulse on your wrist. Watch a clock for one full minute, counting the beats of your pulse as you go. This is your resting heart rate. (According to most sources, the ideal resting heart rate is between 60 and 90 beats a minute.)
The American College of Sports Medicine recommends the following formula to calculate what your heart range should be when you exercise for aerobic fitness:
The formula for calculating your maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.
To find out your lower-limit exercise heart rate, multiply your maximum heart rate by 0.6.
To calculate your upper-limit exercise heart rate, multiply your maximum heart rate by 0.9.
During aerobic exercise, your heart rate should fall between your lower and upper target heart-rate limits. Exercising for a longer time at the lower limits will provide the maximum benefit.
Your blood pressure indicates how easily blood moves through your blood vessels. Normal blood pressure is approximately 120/80. (In this instance, 120 is the pressure when your heart pumps blood; 80 is the pressure at rest.) 145/95 is considered high blood pressure. If you take medication for high blood pressure, it may affect your heart rate during exercise; be sure to discuss this with your physician to find out what your target rate should be.
Setting a Realistic Pace
Say you haven't run a lick in 20-plus years. Now you've invested in some jogging shorts, great pair of shoes and a sweatband, and you're ready to go out and run the three-mile loop around the lake. Good idea, right?
Wrong! If you blast out of the gate with excessive effort, you're likely to exhaust yourself or, worse, sustain an injury, and neither of those outcomes will serve your ultimate goal to build an exercise habit. Instead, set a goal you want to achieve three months from now, and then create a progressive schedule that'll get you from here to there without injury or exhaustion.
The American College of Sports Medicine recommends the following schedule (with the caveat that jogging may not be the right activity for people with cardiac or orthopedic issues or for people who are more than 20 percent overweight):
Week Minutes Intensity
1 20 Walk
2 22 Walk
3 22 Jog 30-60 seconds, walk 5 minutes
4 24 Jog 30-60 seconds, walk 5 minutes
5 24 Jog 30-60 seconds, walk 4 minutes
6 26 Jog 30-60 seconds, walk 4 minutes
7 26 Jog 30-60 seconds, walk 3 minutes
8 28 Jog 30-60 seconds, walk 3 minutes
9 28 Jog 30-60 seconds, walk 2 minutes
10 30 Jog 30-60 seconds, walk 2 minutes
11 30 Jog 2 minutes, walk 1 minute
12+ 30 Gradually progress to continuous jogging
Other experts recommend different schedules, but the common element is this: You should start out easy and build toward a bigger goal. This rule applies across all forms of exercise. After your first week or two, you'll have a better idea of your comfort level and will be able to adjust accordingly.
As you establish your comfort zone, remember one other thing: You should be able to carry on a conversation as you exercise. If you can't, you're probably pushing too hard.
Moving Forward
We've covered a lot! We established positive reasons for exercising, looked at different types of exercise, discussed the need to meet with your doctor before you begin a program and talked about making exercise fun.
Next, we'll look at practical strategies for building and sticking to an exercise regimen. In the meantime, be sure to get on the Live Discussion Boards to meet the instructors and online community to learn what works for them. See you on the message board! http://learningcenter.atkins.com/
Nurture a Habit that Lasts a Lifetime
Optimal results are all about creating change for life, and exercise is a key part of what should be a regular routine. Which leads to an interesting question: How do you start a fitness regimen that you can stick with for good? We already discussed the first step: Turn exercise into something you crave, something you will actually miss if you skip a session. Now let's take a look at some practical suggestions for transforming exercise from a daunting task into a pleasurable ritual.
Make a schedule and follow it. Following a schedule is a powerful tool in the battle to stay on target. Look at the week in advance and pick the time you allot for exercise carefully. Remember that it's usually safer to start the day with a workout, rather than plan on getting to it later. Distractions are less likely to crop up first thing in the morning than later in the day. If that doesn't work for you, find the time that works best for you and stick with it.
Find a buddy. If you plan to exercise in the morning, try the buddy system. If you commit to meeting someone for an early workout, you'll be more likely to show up.
Get up 30 minutes earlier. Performing a stretch routine first thing in the morning can be a great way to get moving early on. All you need is a video showing some stretches (and maybe a Pilates ball), and you're good to go -- with little muss or fuss!
Exercise with friends or coworkers. If you use your exercise time as a way to socialize, you can accomplish two goals at once. Group workouts are also a great way to meet new people with a shared interest, so check out local running clubs, spinning classes or aerobics studios for classes that fit your schedule.
Ride your bike or walk to work. If it's practical, this is a great way to start the day and maximize your time. It gets your blood pumping and your mind going before you get to work.
Work out at lunchtime. A midday exercise break boosts energy and allows you to make the most of your afternoon.
Exercise in front of the television, perhaps using a mini-trampoline or a rebounder. Call it multitasking, if you like. This arrangement means you'll be less likely to put off a workout so that you can watch your favorite sitcom.
Exercise at home. For some people, it's tough to be away from home and family for long periods of time. Hopping on a treadmill that you keep in the basement or a spare room is a great way to squeeze in a run while you remain a part of the household (just set some ground rules with the other members of yours, so there are no interruptions unless it's absolutely necessary).
Exercise on your way home. If there is a way to work out and avoid getting stuck in traffic, seize the opportunity (you'll also circumvent the temptation to lie back when you get home). Check out gyms near your workplace.
Remember why you're exercising: Exercise will give you more energy while it reduces stress. Remind yourself that the reason you're getting in shape is so you can live a longer, healthier life. Find the Workout You Love.
We said it before, we'll say it again: A critical aspect of creating a lifetime desire for fitness is finding an activity you love. Try to identify something that you'll look forward to and that you can easily incorporate into your schedule. Those two factors will make a world of difference in your ability to follow through. For instance:
Love gardening? Get out in the yard and start digging. Push the lawn mower. Walk around the block and look at your neighbor's gardens. Just be sure to do it for a minimum of 20 minutes a day!
Are you an outdoorsy type? If so, running or walking around your neighborhood or a local park might be just the ticket. As we said before: Try to find a workout buddy who will commit to exercising with you at least three days a week. Having a set appointment will ensure that you exercise even on days when you feel like flaking out. Try setting a firm goal and working toward it. For example, sign up for a charity walkathon or fun run, and then set up an exercise schedule aimed at competing in that event.
Are you a water baby? Swimming is considered one of the best full body workouts; if you have access to an indoor pool, you can swim year-round in the coldest climate. Water aerobics are an excellent way to get a workout, especially if excess weight is putting stress on your joints. Kayaking, canoeing and rowing are also great exercise if you live close to water.
Are you a team player? If you love organized sports like basketball or soccer, look for a regularly scheduled game that you can join. Local YMCAs often have pick-up basketball games, and many cities have informal soccer games.
Do you love the environment of the gym? If so, consider signing up for some classes or for several sessions with a personal trainer who can show you the ropes on the exercise machines, guide you through a few workouts, help you establish your baseline and goals and create a workout schedule to get you there.
Add variety. As your endurance improves, try alternating different activities to work different muscles in different ways, giving you a more well-rounded workout. It also keeps you from getting bored with the same old routine.
More Tips for Making it Happen
Rule # 1: Just Do It
Beginning your new routine can be the hardest part. You need to make exercise a habit, like brushing your teeth. Believe it or not, once your body gets used to the routine and increases its fitness level, you will even look forward to your workouts! You'll also find out how much better you feel physically and mentally after a workout.
Pick the activity you will most enjoy (or dislike the least). If you're riding a stationary bike or walking on a treadmill indoors, watch TV or play music, which creates a rhythm you can get into. Some people prefer to read a book or magazine or listen to books on tape to occupy their mind. By focusing your attention, you'll avoid negative thoughts and your routine will seem to take less time. Most important, consider the long-term potential for improving your appearance and your health. Remember: Research has shown that even minimal physical activity, like 20 minutes a day of walking, had profound effects on health, including certain long-term benefits.
Rule # 2: Be Patient
One note as you begin: Be patient. Two weeks is not enough time to notice changes in your body from exercise. Some people may even observe a small weight gain on the scale when they start exercising. That's because muscle mass increases as you get stronger, and muscle is more dense than fat. As we age, beginning in our early 30s, we begin to lose muscle mass. That's one reason your metabolic rate slows down. The more muscle you have, the more oxygen you take in; oxygen burns fat, thus you burn more fat. If you follow an exercise program five days a week you should see results within a month.
Rule # 3: Start Smart
If you're trying to lose fat, start your exercise regimen with aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise helps you burn fat. For cardiovascular benefits, you need a bare minimum of 20 minutes of aerobic exercise, three times a week. To enhance fat loss, you will need to do aerobic exercise five times a week and get beyond 30 minutes a day.
Start with any aerobic exercise at any level you can sustain. If you're out of shape, you may be need to start with only 10 minutes a day. Just make sure that your 10-minute regimen takes places five times a week.
You can add weight-bearing exercise once you've built a base of endurance.
Since your body can usually handle a 10 percent increase in workload per week, increase your workout time by 10 percent each week.
Rule # 4: Make Fitness a Priority
We've discussed the importance of trying to turn exercise into an activity you enjoy. That means finding an activity you like, finding a partner (or partners) you like and committing to a schedule. It also means knowing when to push yourself and when to give yourself a break.
No matter what exercise program you choose, no matter how simple or rigorous it is, make sure that you make it a priority. Schedule time for it and stick to it.
One great tool is the buddy system: Make sure that you and your exercise pal or pals keep your commitments to one another. If one of you starts flaking out on a regular basis, the others will feel permission to do the same. But if you stick to it, you'll be able to encourage one another as you go. Exercise will become as much fun as meeting for coffee or drinks, or chatting on the phone -- just a little more vigorous.
Rule # 5: Know When to Give Yourself a Break
Okay, now let's do a little reality check: The truth is that setting a schedule along with some specific goals, as well as knowing when to cut yourself a little slack are both critical to keeping you on track. If you try to push through to your goal on days when you simply don't have the energy, workouts will seem like torture, which is exactly what you don't want. After all, if you dread your workout, it won't be long before you give up your new routine all together.
All your good intentions aside, the truth is that some days you have more strength than others: Some days you'll come to your workout session bursting to go; other times you may feel as though lifting a fistful of broccoli to your mouth is even way too hard to even contemplate. Like bad hair days and the weather, off days are a reality of any exercise routine.
The golden rules of building an exercise habit you can stick to, while still dealing with the moments when you feel like you just can't do it, are as follows:
Unless you're ill or injured there's no excuse to skip your exercise date. After all, you want your buddy to keep the commitment he or she made, so you have to commit to doing the same thing.
For the first 10 to 15 minutes of your session, stick to a planned workout. Most days, you'll have a breakthrough: 10 minutes in, you'll suddenly find that the workout doesn't feel quite as strenuous. You may even feel as though you're gaining energy, rather than losing it.
If, after 10 to 15 minutes, you still feel like you're slogging through swamp mud, give yourself a break. This may mean walking instead of running or shortening your workout. Or it may mean simply turning around to go home. Remember: You are trying to build an enjoyable habit, not kill yourself. If the session feels miserable, it's better to cut it short than force yourself through. Just be sure that you're back tomorrow or the next day to try it again.
Rule # 6: Understand Your Motivations
Knowing why you want to get fit will help you stick to your routine. It's important to get fit for yourself, not because your mother/wife/boyfriend/ is hounding you to do it. So, before you start, ask yourself why you want to get fit:
Are you concerned about your health?
Do you want to have a more toned body?
Do you have a specific race or event you want to compete in?
Do you want more energy?
Do you want to reduce stress?
Do you want to stay fit so you can enjoy an active retirement?
Next, think about how it'll make you feel to get fit. Most likely it'll raise not only your physical sense of well-being, but also your mental one. There's no self-esteem booster like setting a goal and meeting it.
Rule # 7: Chart Your Progress
Keep a diary of your progress. Write down a weekly schedule when the week begins. Then, after you exercise each day, jot down what you did. If you lift weights, note the machines you used, the amount you lifted and the number of repetitions you did. If you run, note how far you went and how you broke up your run. Your workout diary will inspire you to nurture your blossoming habit. Within a few weeks, you'll be able to see substantial progress in your ability to exercise, which is a great reward in and of itself.
Rule # 8: Mix It Up
Another way to keep yourself going is to add variety to your schedule. Maybe you walk most days. But if you love golf, take the time to get out and play a round or two. Just be sure to walk the course rather than tool around in an electric cart. If dancing is your bag, take a night off from jogging and cut a rug for a couple of hours.
Dealing with injuries.
If you haven't exercised in a while, you may be in for a little pain. That doesn't mean you'll hurt yourself; it just means you'll be working muscles that haven't been flexed in a while. But how do you tell the difference?
The pain you should expect to feel is achy, dull and typically generalized. An entire muscle or area of your body may hurt when you first start exercising. That's normal.
If you feel a sharp pain when you're exercising, stop immediately. General aches are normal; sharp pains may be indicative of injuries that require rest and other treatment. Continuing to exercise when you feel a sharp pain may exacerbate the injury and make it harder to recover.
Pain that's more problematic (and typically indicative of an injury) tends to be very sharp, specific and localized. It also tends to hurt when you do certain movements, rather than ache in general. The injuries listed below may be caused by improper footwear or overtraining, but other factors may be involved as well. If you suspect you have an injury, avoid stressing it with more exercise and go see a doctor, who can tell you whether it's okay to continue your fitness regimen, or whether you should modify it in some way. Common sports injuries include:
shin splints
strains and sprains
Achilles tendonitis
knee pain
stress fractures
The best immediate treatment for sports injuries is the old standby formula, R.I.C.E: Rest (from the activity that caused the injury, not all activities); ice; compression; and elevation.
Wrapping Up
We hope this article has helped you identify a few habits that will help you establish a fitness regimen you love. Before you go, be sure to stop by the message board to share thoughts and questions with the online community and instructors.

More than one source describe how empty Tehran streets are compared to normal, on this day the regime has advertised as the day the nation will come out to vote for their appointed parliament. The pictures above confirm that. One foreign reporter has also reported that an informal protest has been planned for the hour when the voting stations are officially closed. People will come out only then and honk their car's horns to demonstrate their disapproval of the entire process.
Over the last two days, there has been many reports of truckloads of fake Iranian ID booklets being intercepted by various local police around the country, suggesting an attempt to inflate the number of total votes and issuing multiple ballots to trusted friends. The revolutionary guard is also on full alert, to defuse any possible protest effort.
The charade of elections this regime orchestrates occasionally has reached a particular low-point this time and their frustration has never been more evident.
Hoder is going to stay up all night to monitor and edit Iran Filter. Check it out for the latest news as well as translation of Persian blogs. I'll update if there are new developments in the morning.
UPDATE - There were no major incidents. The voter turn-out has been light with estimates ranging from 15 to 30 percent of eligible voters participating. With no foreign independent observers, there is no way to say for certain. Almost every journalist has reported on the large presence of armed forces at most cities, perhaps expecting some disturbance. Polls closed as much as 2 hours later than originally planned, supposedly to maximize the number of votes and also maybe to nullify plans of holding demonstrations afterwards. There was also various reports of cheating, in one case having the culprits caught transporting voters by bus to various polling stations to vote again and again. The radio station funded by U.S. government, Radio Farda (or Tomorrow) seems to have the largest team and most comprehensive coverage of election reports in Persian. One of the best sources of news is still Iran Filter with various volunteers translating what the bloggers are writing as their own first-hand observations.
My take; Who Cares? Illegal and illegitimate selection of one band of friends over another band to keep the world and your nation pre-occupied with whether its best to select hard-line conservative religious radicals over fundamentalist Islamic extremists does not interest me at all.
CLARIFICATION - I don't care which side "wins" or how they gesture towards one another. I DO however care very deeply about how Iranians have now seen first hand that there are no "reformers" within the limited choices available in Iran and have showed it by boycotting the supposed "election" all together.
UPDATE II - With the last of somewhat more liberal press shut down for the election, Iranians are using the Internet more and more to get their news. Gooya, perhaps the most widely portal and news site in Farsi reported over 80,000 visitors yesterday. People are also using new tools like camera phones to send pictures of empty polling stations, this one is a local mosque in Tehran. Ayatollah Jannati, head of the Guardian Council led the Friday prayers in Tehran and resorted to even threatening people into voting. He proclaimed that whoever even whispers of not voting is a traitor to the country and Islamic regime. He went on with the other usual regime mantras like Rushdie fatwa being irrevocable and the concept of "religious democracy" that has made elections in Iran more successful than any other nation on earth. blah, blah, blah...
On a rather complimentary note; Yas-e-No newspaper (with red BANNED across its page) had what is perhaps the most clever cover to never be published. I'll try to translate and explain it, hoping it is communicated properly; the big headline reads "Freedom Game With No Spectators". The accompanying picture is of empty stands at the previous day's soccer game between Iran and Qatar, where Iran was penalized by the Asian soccer federation for a previous incident and no spectators were allowed in. The game was held in Tehran's Azadi (Freedom) stadium, thus the "Freedom Game" reference in the headline. With an election looming within 24 hours that not many were allowed to participate to run in and not many actually cared to take part in, the cover was just a very witty way of using something with double meanings to stress a point otherwise not possible.
Hundreds of years of dealing with one dictator or another, nobody is better in using every little opening to express a dissenting point of view than Iranians.Posted by Pedram at February 20, 2004 01:39 AM
why were they filtering out the reform candidates by disqualifying them?Posted by: lenore at February 20, 2004 02:15 AM
The following came to my mind just now. Maybe it seems too pessimistic, but nevertheless I think it's worth thinking about ... The people in Iran would not have voted anyway. This is regardless of whether the reformists were disqualified. They were too dissapointed with the reformists. This was also evident from the low turn out in the city council elections. But look at what's happening now: The reformists were disqualified, so they told people not to go to vote, and all of a sudden it seems like the people are doing this for the sake of the reform parties, and not because of their dissapointment regarding the reforms. This seems to give the reform movement a chance to make every thing look the way they would like it to be, and reserve the chance for them to come back to relieve the stress and save the isamic republic from a new revolution, maybe in a few years. It's the best that could happen to the hardliners, and the best that could happen to the reformists as well. The only real losers in this game are the Iranian people. They betrayed us.Posted by: tanha at February 20, 2004 04:12 AM
Tnx for ur jobb and ur text. U r great.Posted by: عاليجناب منتقد at February 20, 2004 04:15 AM
hello this is my blog suring and reporting
It's a good point, tanha, but does it really matter if the reformists come out and take credit? What matters is that the Iranian people are showing BOTH the reformers and the clerics that they do not hold the support of the people. Since a revolt would be bloody - do the next best thing - remind them that a true revolt is an option that they just might not win.
If the reformers are throwing you bread crumbs - then eat them and demand more. Directing your anger at the reformists is justified - but it is not productive to your long term goals.Posted by: Becky at February 20, 2004 04:54 AM
Enable you to reach across the world and touch
a child's life.
For those who have no idea of what is going on in Iran - let me give you an analogy.
Imagine what would happen if the Supreme Court refused to allow anyone who is not an evangelical Christian on any ballot. Imagine if the people then refused to vote in such a sham of an election or to accept its results as valid. A revolt would be a real possibility.
Then imagine if those in power said, we will use the military to kill you if you revolt, and meant it. But imagine if the members of the military, like the people, were outraged by this decision. Could the leaders in power count on them to shoot their own people?
This is the crisis that is going on in Iran right now.Posted by: Becky at February 20, 2004 05:19 AM
The mullahs are getting the royal middle finger from the population. Well done. If you want freedom, you gotta fight for it, just like you did in 1979. Screw dictators.Posted by: Ricky Vandal at February 20, 2004 05:22 AM
Ah. Now throw into the mix the influence of an Islamic influenced, not run, democratic Iraq. Let's see what hope that can generate in Iran.Posted by: John Pender at February 20, 2004 05:34 AM
I came here to see the current state of the modern Iranian under 40 'underground' thinking. The thoughts expressed here represent the future generations of socio-political leaders after the current generation have passed on. The moral dillema that the Iranians and other Muslim nations face is how to integrate fundamental Muslim beliefs with a modern international world-view. Obviously the Western world will not simply vanish because terrorist or muslim fundamentalists wish it would. and at the same time, Muslims will not simply allow their beliefs and life-styles to become empty rituals in the face of the spread of Western cultural values.
The point of this blog is 'to not waste your vote'. If an election is rigged or completely censored or dishonest, then the best protest is not voting and letting the lack of voter turn-out speak for itself. If only 20%(for example) of the 'below 40 group' votes, it shows clearly to the world that the younger modern generation has no confidence in the older leadership. This od course, will cause the more conservative elements in the government and mosques to more vigorously enforce rigid controls so as to break the spirit of the 'misguided' youth. But time is on your side. No-one can fight old age. Someday, you that write your thoughts here, will become the leaders of Iran, and if you can stay true to yourself and patient through the next 20 years, then the steering wheel of your country will be handed over to you. If you take to the streets in protest instead, then matters will only become far worse and destablization of Iran is an unhappy possibility.
Good luck. All good things come to those who wait...Wait until their guard is down and your numbers are in the majority. Then the transition will be bloodless and it's honor unstained.Posted by: Kurt at February 20, 2004 05:36 AM
Refusing to vote and then complaining that you have so say in government is like killing your parents and then complaining that you're an orphan. By refusing to vote, you have willingly given up your chance to have any say at all in the outcome. How can anyone hear your voice when you refuse to speak?
If you want to make a real difference, write in someone else's name on the ballots you cast. Force the government to break the law, THEN start the revolution. Otherwise, you set up a system where no government by popular mandate is possible, because anyone who is losing an election will feel well within his rights to boycott it and then work for violent overthrow of the previous regime, on the grounds that he was being oppressed by not being allowed to win. Why even hold elections, when whoever has the biggest rebel army ends up seizing power whenever the vote goes against them anyhow?
Thanks to Becky for the insightful comments. I would like to mention the following:
- As far as I can see, the reform movement has been heading for the grave in the last years. Imagine a president who has the support of more than 70% of the voters, that's over 20 million in a country where approximately 35-40 million are eligible to vote, and he simply does nothing! The anger of the people is justified, and it does serve the purpose, I think. This is simply because these reformers do not want real reforms. They have shown that they never intended to fully democratize Iran. Do you know how many of these are outspoken enemies of democracy? Just an example: Mr. Mohtashami, one of the most important reformists in the parliament for the last four years, has been actively leading terrorist activities in Israel since the 80's. And he's proud of it. It's not something he would try to hide. Every year he and many like him (many of whom are reformists) organize a conference on "intifadha" in tehran, in which all those leaders of terrorism from hamas, hizbollah, ... take part. There is no representative from the modest palestinians. No talk about a peaceful solution. That's simply not how they think. I'm not a fan of Israel, but I think somebody with such a long track of leadership in terorism is not actually what the people would want. Iranians are realizing this just now.
- A revolt seems to be a possibility, although I don't think it will happen. It needs a form of organization which the Iranian opposition (inside or outside of Iran) has long failed to develop. But even if that happens, you should keep in mind that there is not a single military in Iran. The official army would probably not kill the people, but the revolutionary guards (Sepah-e-pasdaran) certainly would. Simply, they do not think of themselves as Iranians, but as muslims, and they have to save Islam, not Iran, at whatever cost. Did you know some of them are not even Iranains? palestinians have always loved to help the islamic republic in return for the support it has offered them against Israel. So in that case, and with no true leader (the son of the late shah being the only man possible, but he certainly has shown to have no leadership talent) the regime in tehran would win in case of a revolt.
- A revolt may not happen at all, because if the regime is lucky enough, the people might forget about the true reason for their not going to the ballots. These disqualifyings were meant to bring the people and the reformers together again, sothat the reformers may be brought to power in a few years if a revolt seems near. This could be in favor of people like mohtashami, or even khatami, who have many times declared that the survival of the Islamic Republic, not democratization, is their most important goal.
A series of hardline/reform administrations within the next 10-20 years may very well work to save the system in general. It is certain that the reformists ARE trying to turn the election into their victory, pretending that the people do not take part because they're supporting the reformers. That would save them from completely being wiped out from the political scene.
As I said before, I'm aware that this may be the most pessimistic view one could take with respect to the events in Iran, but anyway it seems to me to be the most logical one.Posted by: tanha at February 20, 2004 06:16 AM

My website is down and I Wrote my weblog about this poll here:
Wow! Another weblog to get information about Iran. I gotta go because it's almost Shabbat (in Israel); but I'll be back tomorrow night to find out what happened in today's 'elections.' Long live the Iranian people! Free Iran!!Posted by: Chaya Eitan at February 20, 2004 06:55 AM
Not a bloody revolution. How about the 'Saffron Revolution'? I'm just wild about saffron.Posted by: A.H. at February 20, 2004 07:57 AM
No bloody revolution ... ok, but, what real alternative can you present?Posted by: at February 20, 2004 08:03 AM
There are no reformers or conservative in Iran as is known in the west, what we have there are competing intersts mixed with fragmants of right or left ideas. The political situation in Iran can be in some very general way compared to democrats and republicans in US. The diffrence is between coke and pepsi not substance. We have in Iran what I guess is about 60 to 70 percent of population that are non responsive to social and political events and only respond to slogans that makes right and left meaningless. What we out in the LaLa land talk about in most cases is only about that 20 to 30 percent. Meanwhile the arbitrator of rule of law can manipulate the rest. But the trend is changing in positive direction and I see great thing to come..........Posted by: Ali at February 20, 2004 09:31 AM
Two points:
1. Pedram, I know people didn't go to vote but these pictures here do not prove anything. In most cases people go to vote by walking, since you can find a voting place anywhere in Tehran in a walking distance. Tehran streets are empty on Friday mornings anyway. So, I agree with you on what you say about the election but the pictures are not a proof for that. Let's see what the journalists reports are.
2. I am happy about this reformist defeat. As we say in Persian "Yaa roomi-ye room, yaa zangi-ye zang" Now it is clear that there is no element of democracy in this system, and there is no hope in any way to "reform" it. I wish there was, but unfortunately this system is not capable of any reform.
I don't think a revolution will happens in Iran. For doing a revolution people should be ready to die, and I don't think after the sad experience of 1979 revolution anybody is ready for such a thing... after all how many revolutions a nation can do in a century? we did two -1906 and 1979. I think the system will eventually collapse -the way Soviet Union collapsed in 1990. It will reach a point when it can not handle the economy, the youth, and the changes in technology. All these elements changes Iran and eventually changes Islam as well.
The only hope I have for Iran is an ending for all this mess more like what happened to Fascist Spain in the late 70s: a gradual transition to a democracy with an amnesty for all the people who were not directly involved in crimes. But something tells me that the change in Iran will be a bloodshed. Iranian people are too much angry (and culturally too much violent) to let their brain manage the situation. It would be a mess that might lead to a new dictatorship...
and that is what I am afraid of.

it is one of the most inspiring and wonderful things i can thinik of to see loving and concerned human beings, from all over the world, come together and speak freely of their plans for the future. I admire your good humor, fearlessness, and honesty in setting out to change the lives of our brothers and sisters. God bless you, Mr. Moallemian.Posted by: gabriel Mintz at February 20, 2004 11:34 AM
The government is holding elections on Friday. Wouldn't that be like having American elections on a Sunday?Posted by: Mike at February 20, 2004 12:09 PM
Q: Can you use a write in ballot in Iran?
A: No.
Q: The government is holding elections on Friday. Wouldn't that be like having American elections on a Sunday?
A: Yes, it is like that. That's the best day for people to vote because everybody is free on that day.
Yes Mike, it would ... but what's the problem?
In Iran elections are always held fridays, and the people don't seem to have a problem with that ... the previous elections with more than 30 million participants were also held on fridays.
So don't worry, that's nothing special.
No big deal about voting on a Sunday - all EU countries except Ireland, Britain and the Netherlands do. It's generally seen as a good way of boosting turnout as fewer people work. Not that it seems to have done much to boost the turnout in Iran today...Posted by: Young Fogey at February 20, 2004 02:00 PM
Each day you wait is another day in bondage. I believe you should have mass non-violent demonstrations for refrom. I believe the way the system is currently set up it will never reach a democratic Iran or a Free land. I have no understanding of your situation, because I live in America where I feel lucky for the freedom I live. I just don't believe in delaying action to just delay it. I really would go for the non-violent route first, try to get the attention of the international community. I don't wish Blood shed on the side of those who want to be free, but if you live in a place with no freedom, then why live? Maybe the situation isn't to bad, and you have some decent life and bloodshed isn't worth it, I just don't think waiting will solve the problem. I hope Iran becomes the country you believe it can be, and not after your lifetime, but during it. Good luck, and I will keep you in my thoughts.Posted by: Rich from U.S.A. at February 20, 2004 11:46 PM
interesting posts. Though there is little that we really can do, I can assure you that all Americans feel deeply for you and wish for you what we hold most dear; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Good luck. Despite your frustration, I still think the biggest weapon you have on your side is time. Use it wisely.
As you are witnessing in Iran, power does not come from the ballot. When the day comes that the Guardian Council is taken out and shot, that will be the day you will have the beginning of true reform. In the words of Chairman Mao, power comes from the barrel of a gun.Posted by: Lindh at February 21, 2004 08:56 AM
to Rich: mass non-violent demonstrations...sounds like an excellent idea...one that has already been tried by Iranians, most famously in "18 Tir" student demonstrations. Police responded with violence and blood was shed soon after.Posted by: Lily at February 21, 2004 12:11 PM
I agree with lindhPosted by: xtremetrees at February 22, 2004 05:40 PM

I'm not sure why my YouTube views have dropped to almost half of what they once were. Did people leave when the site went down for a week and not come back? Or are people clicking on the thumbnail above and wondering why the video won't play, not realizing that the actual embedded YouTube video is now after the jump? (Due to the fact that if you don't have an image to start the article, it can't go in the featured box up at the top of the page)
Anyway, this week, talking about Ni No Kuni (which I'm still playing and loving) leads me to talk about grinding and then playing in sandboxes. Which is great in concept, but the sand gets everywhere and it's very distracting. Click "More" and watch to find out exactly what I'm talking about!

I LOVE Gulf Shores!! Ive been to Jakes before! We ate there the last time I visited. We try to head there every other summer. Maybe next summer Ill meet you for a Bourbon slushie. It sounds SO yummy!ReplyDelete
I had bourbon slushie once and got all jittery and weird. It was when I lived in GA. Made by a friend from AL!! She reminded me (the next day when I came to pick up the car I was too drunk to drive home) that it had "strong brewed tea" in it. I vowed never to drink it again! But maybe, this recipe could work!ReplyDelete
This sounds perfect for summer!! Oh how I wish I wasn't pregnant because this sounds delicious!ReplyDelete
How Awesome does this sound?! Completely and totally awesome! I must try this. ;)ReplyDelete
How funny! That's a bit like our Amaretto slushies! And my mom keeps hers in a big tupperware container too! It's like an alcoholic snowcone. ;)ReplyDelete
Hmmm....never tried a burbon slushie...now I just might have to...ReplyDelete
This sounds delicious and totally easy! Yummers on a hot day!ReplyDelete
We actually have Jack, SoCo, & Firefly in our house right now and I bet all 3 would be delectable in that recipe...as long as we add enough so that it doesn't freeze rock solid L O L.ReplyDelete
It really good. Like... REALLY good. You'll forget that it's not just frozen lemonade... especially when it's hot outside!ReplyDelete
Consider yourselves WARNED!
Okay, that slushie sounds AMAZING!!! My mouth is watering...ReplyDelete
This sounds yummy! My Hubs is a big bourbon guy - two cubes, no soda. It's always been a bit too smokey for me, but this concoction sounds DEE-lish! Thanks!ReplyDelete

December 19, 2014
TULSA, Okla. (AP) - A federal judge in Tulsa is considering allegations of perjury against a convicted former Tulsa police officer already serving a 42-month prison sentence for corruption.
Ex-officer Jeff Henderson's legal team claims it was a mistake - not perjury - when Henderson identified a man as an informant even though an attorney showed that the man Henderson said he identified and rode around with to secure information was in fact in the Tulsa jail at the time.
The case wrapped up Monday and U.S. District Judge James Payne will issue a ruling - but did not say when.
A jury found Henderson guilty last year of lying six times during a federal court case and violating the civil rights of citizens during what was determined to be an illegal search.

I was on a beach in New South Wales, Australia, in 2008, looking for surf, when I happened on a group of kangaroos. One had babies in her pouch. I followed her for maybe 20 minutes, taking photos, getting within six feet of her when she suddenly jump-kicked me. The blow made me click the camera and I got this photo. After that, I stayed pretty far away.

From Susan: Our first few days in Maine have been blessed by bright sunshine, clear skies and strangely hot weather. (Last year at this time, I had to run out and buy flannel PJs – the nights were cold enough to merit building a rare fire in the cottage wood stove. ) Temperatures in the 90s are unusual in mid-coast Maine, but we're really not complaining because there is little-to-no humidity and, generally, a sea breeze!
Yesterday we ventured into the local town, Boothbay Harbor, for lunch at one of our favorite spots – Dunton's Doghouse. I felt sorry for the guys sweltering over the grill and the fryer in the roadside hut, but they seemed cheerful enough and the crab roll was as good as ever: the top-split roll perfectly buttered and toasted, holding a generous portion of Maine crab, held together with just the right amount of mayonnaise.
After lunch, we drove up the coast about 25 miles to the pretty village of Damariscotta, which, like Boothbay Harbor, boasts a main street lined with shops and casual restaurants; unlike BH, however, most of these are open 'year round. We had been told about a luncheonette/ice cream/candy shop called S. Fernalds General Store, a former Damariscotta landmark which had re-opened downtown following a few years of re-location in another community. The quirky shop is full of vintage charm, with creaky floorboards, funky, flea-market decor, a wall of "penny candy" jars, big wooden barrels of peanuts in the shell and saltwater taffy, a menu of intriguing sandwiches and a gift area with retro-style toys. All of the sandwiches are available "whole" or "half" – a wonderful concept that more sandwich places should adopt, if you ask me! We were still full from our crab rolls, but I couldn't pass up a cone of (local favorite) Round Top ginger ice cream.
Of course, we couldn't be in Damariscotta without shopping at Reny's, a Maine "department store" with an extraordinary variety of items from fishing boots to shower curtains to gourmet food. Our mission was an "all-Reny's" gift bag – mug, jam, beer cozy, dish towel and chocolate bars!
Dinner was more classic Maine – outside on the deck at Lobsterman's Wharf in East Boothbay. We were a group of 8 to celebrate a family birthday; half of us had lobsters, I ordered sea scallops prepared in a traditional way – baked topped with buttered breadcrumbs. The warm evening was ideal for eating overlooking the Damariscotta River, watching the gulls swoop around hoping for a stray tidbit.
A note about our posts this month while we're away. We have no Internet access in our cottage, so have to drive to one of the local libraries for wi-fi to write and upload photos. The Southport Island library is only open a few days a week, so I'm writing this in the lovely reading room of the Boothbay Harbor Memorial Public Library, a Greek revival-style edifice in the center of town – the sort of place that hosts band concerts on the front lawn on summer evenings. We can't post as instantly as we do at home, but will do our best to keep the blogging going – there's certainly plenty to write about and photograph. Next post – how to cook the perfect Maine lobster!

As a knitter I like to explore new techniques, new patterns and new ideas. One thing I've never done until this past weekend is knit a toy. I mentioned in my most recent post, I decided to try out the adorable Well Dressed Bunny designed by Barbara Prime, of Fuzzy Mitten as a gift to go along with the finished cardigan and hat.
Barbara's pattern is very easy to understand and follow, with written instructions that go step by step. Each part of the bunny is knitted up fairly quickly and could almost be completed in an entire day. She has included instructions with this particular pattern for the waistcoat, hoodie and jacket, so your knitted bunny can have a complete outfit. The construction of this particular knitted toy is such that it allows the arms and legs to move, which means you can stand it up or sit it down with ease.
I must say for my very first knitted toy, I love how my bunny turned out and will make more in the near future. I loved knitting this little guy so much that I ended up purchasing Barbara's Siamese Kitty pattern!
Pattern: Well Dressed Bunny designed by Barbara Prime. You can find all of Barbara's patterns online at Ravelry and online at Fuzzy Mitten. Barbara also has a few of her patterns online at Craftsy.
Notes: I opted not to use buttons for the eyes as this bunny is destined for a baby and I know that baby's like to pull on things, chew on things, etc… so this bunny has hand embroidered eyes. I used basic fiber fill for stuffing and a bit of dark brown yarn for the eyes, nose and mouth.
Yarn: 2 skeins of King Cole Merino Blend Aran in Putty (soft oatmeal heather) and a bit of left over sock yarn for the vest.
Needles and Notions: A pair of size 6 (4.00mm) knitting needles and 2 small buttons for the vest .
All said and done, I give this pattern an overall rating! To date, on Ravelry, there have been over 324 projects and this project is currently in 387 queues.
Until next time, happy knitting, crocheting, spinning and crafting!

This quilt doesn't look like much in these photos but I think it is one of my favorites yet. I used just two pieces of fabric. The front piece was my Christmas present from my mum and was two yards of this gorgeous Megumi Sakakibara print from Superbuzzy (though mine was in the red colorway which is now sold out). The back piece is Liberty Tana Lawn from my stash. The linen print was too beautiful to cut into so I left it whole and quilted randomly around some of the illustrations. The combination of soft fabrics and a lack of quilting makes this quilt so squishy and soft.
A quick note about Liberty fabrics. I use them as much as I can because I love them and of all the fabrics I own they never seem to get old. They really do have a timeless quality about them and they wash and wear so incredibly well, but they are expensive. Very expensive. I get around this in two ways. I only make things with them that I plan on keeping a long time or I know will get a lot of wear and secondly I use ebay. That whole timeless quality thing works really well here because I don't care how many seasons old they are, if I love them and the price is right, they are in. You can find some great buys on ebay especially if you buy larger pieces.
Here's a general ebay search for Liberty.
And here are two of my favorite ebay sellers: Little Shop of Treasures and KatsFabrics
Other resources for Liberty fabrics in the US are International Fabrics, B&J Fabrics and Purl Soho.

Chrysler unveils diesel 300C SRT! (in Europe, natch)
by John Neff (RSS feed) on Feb 21st, 2008 at 11:31AM
Click above for more images of the Chrysler 300C SRT dieselWhen we heard word of a diesel-powered Chrysler 300C SRT, visions of overdosing our right foot on torque were instantly conjured. While the Pentastar has unveiled such a car in Europe, it's not exactly what you think. Basically a trim package for the 300C in Europe, the SRT model gets visual enhancements to its buttocks including new rear taillight clusters and a deck lid spoiler, but the car still uses the same 3.0L V6 diesel producing 218 bhp and 376 pound feet of torque you can get in other models.

Draenei = separatist faction of Eredar
Archimonde(T6), Kil'jaeden(T6), and Velen (city boss) are all Eredar in origin and bosses therefore the have more major bosses.
Blood Elves = separatist faction of High Elves
Player Blood Elves = separatist faction of Kael'thas Sunstrider's Blood Elves
Kael'thas Sunstrider (T5/5-man) is Kil'jaeden's croney.
The Draenei have more major bosses related to them than the Blood Elves.

Oct 26th 2008 6:28AM LMAO I "tagged" one and then drug it over to someone else doing AoE after that it just went all over the place like a pinball while I DPS'd it enough to keep the kill and feigned whenever it came back at me. I looted thirty of the quest drops and an epic cloth chest to vendor. But at least it was my summon though. My shadow managed to kill at least six other players stupid enough to attack it because they thought it was one of the other quests mobs. Muhahahahaha!
