Its been a long while since i thought about my health and thats really what has kept me away from Sparkpeople. I went through alot the last few months and a break up with my fiance. So yes i put on a few pounds and today was supposed to be my 3 years sparkversary, and unlike every year i cann't celebrate it with excitement since i was absent most of this past year :(
I cann't really make promises with me sticking around since i have school and time is an issue but i will make a harder effort at it because SP was the main reason i was succeful at being healthy in the first place so why should it be hard now? I just have to start with a clean page and learn again the 101 of health and lifestyle change. I was last 145 pounds and right now i am around 8 pounds heavier :'( Im really actually proud that i didn't gain ALL the weight back because it was a tough period and I WILL STAND UP AGAIN !!
So please welcome me again and make me feel at home :)
i have been stuck in the 140's for the last 4 months, i haven't been as motivated to keep on going, i still have good eating habits but i haven't worked out for some time. Im out of it i'd love to get back on the wagon but my mindset is not in place yet ;(
Wish me luck on getting back!
For us to lose weight and maintain our health it is super important to know what we are dealing with, it is not just yummy objects we put in our mouth so check this article that i had found while searching , i hope it helps:) Enjoy :
Carbohydrates :
Two Types of Carbohydrates
There are two major types of carbohydrates in foods: simple and complex.
Simple carbohydrates: These are also called simple sugars. Simple sugars are found in refined sugars, like the white sugar you'd find in a sugar bowl. If you have a lollipop, you're eating simple carbohydrates. But you'll also find simple sugars in more nutritious foods, such as fruit and milk. It's better to get your simple sugars from food like fruit and milk. Why? Because they contain vitamins, fiber, and important nutrients like calcium. A lollipop does not.
Complex carbohydrates: These are also called starches. Starches include grain products, such as bread, crackers, pasta, and rice. As with simple sugars, some complex carbohydrate foods are better choices than others. Refined grains, such as white flour and white rice, have been processed, which removes nutrients and fiber. But unrefined grains still contain these vitamins and minerals. Unrefined grains also are rich in fiber, which helps your digestive system work well. Fiber helps you feel full, so you are less likely to overeat these foods. That explains why a bowl of oatmeal fills you up better than sugary candy that has the same amount of calories as the oatmeal.
So which type of carbs should you eat? Both can be part of a healthy diet.
How the Body Uses Carbohydrates
When you eat carbohydrates, the body breaks them down into simple sugars. These sugars are absorbed into the bloodstream. As the sugar level rises in your body, the pancreas releases a hormone called insulin. Insulin is needed to move sugar from the blood into the cells, where the sugar can be used as a source of energy.
When this process goes fast - as with simple sugars - you're more likely to feel hungry again soon. When it occurs more slowly, as with a whole-grain food, you'll be satisfied longer. These types of complex carbohydrates give you energy over a longer period of time.
The carbohydrates in some foods (mostly those that contain a lot of simple sugars) cause the blood sugar level to rise more quickly than others. Scientists have been studying whether eating foods that cause big jumps in blood sugar may be related to health problems like diabetes and heart disease. You're probably already on the right track if you are limiting simple sugars (such as candy) and eating more complex carbohydrates (like vegetables, oatmeal, and whole-grain wheat bread).
Proteins :
You probably know you need to eat protein, but what is it? Many foods contain protein ,but the best sources are beef, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts, seeds, and legumes like black beans and lentils. Protein builds up, maintains, and replaces the tissues in your body. (Not the tissues you blow your nose in! We mean the stuff your body's made up of.) Your muscles, your organs, and your immune system are made up mostly of protein.
Your body uses the protein you eat to make lots of specialized protein molecules that have specific jobs. For instance, your body uses protein to make hemoglobin (say: hee-muh-glow-bin), the part of red blood cells that carries oxygen to every part of your body. Other proteins are used to build cardiac muscle. What's that? Your heart! In fact, whether you're running or just hanging out, protein is doing important work like moving your legs, moving your lungs, and protecting you from disease.
All About Amino Acids
When you eat foods that contain protein, the digestive juices in your stomach and intestine go to work. They break down the protein in food into basic units, called amino acids (say uh-mee-no a-sids). The amino acids then can be reused to make the proteins your body needs to maintain muscles, bones, blood, and body organs.
Proteins are sometimes described as long necklaces with differently shaped beads. Each bead is a small amino acid. These amino acids can join together to make thousands of different proteins. Scientists have found many different amino acids in protein, but 22 of them are very important to human health.
Of those 22 amino acids, your body can make 13 of them without you ever thinking about it. Your body can't make the other nine amino acids, but you can get them by eating protein-rich foods. They are called essential amino acids because it's essential that you get them from the foods you eat.
Fats :
Types of Fat
You might see ads for foods that say they're "low-fat" or "fat-free." Lower-fat diets have been recommended for health and to help people lose weight. But nutrition experts are finding that fats are more complicated and that some kinds of fat are actually good for your health. As a bonus, fat in food helps people feel satisfied, so they don't eat as much.
But that doesn't mean a high-fat diet will be good for you. And some fats are better than others. Here are the three major types:
Unsaturated fats: These are found in plant foods and fish. These may be good for heart health. The best of the unsaturated fats are found in olive oil, peanut oil, canola oil, albacore tuna, and salmon.
Saturated fats: These fats are found in meat and other animal products, such as butter, cheese, and all milk except skim. Saturated fats are also in palm and coconut oils, which are often used in commercial baked goods (the kind you buy at the store). Eating too much saturated fat can raise blood cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease.
Trans fats: These fats are found in margarine, especially the sticks. Trans fats are also found in certain foods that you buy at the store or in a restaurant, such as snack foods, baked goods, and fried foods. When you see "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" oils on an ingredient list, the food contains trans fats. Trans fats are also listed on the food label. Like saturated fats, trans fats can raise cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease.

Hi, Before I pitched my starter, I spooned a hunk of yeast and some wort back into the test tube I bought it in and put it in the fridge. How long do you think it will stay alive for?
the yeast will go dormant and should keep for some time. but you should make a new starter next time. when you go to use it just give it a sniff test. if it smells like yeast it should be ok. if it smells rancid dump it and get new yeast. also check it for mold. moldy yeast is no good.
About 45 million years actually.....45 million year old yeast ferments amber ale
Seriously though, Bobby M recently did a test on year old stored yeast here; http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/test...bility-126707/
And my LHBS cells outdated tubes and packs of yeast dirt cheap 2-3 dollars each and I usually grab a couple tubes of belgian or other interesting yeast when I am there and shove it in my fridge. and I have never had a problem with one of those tubes. I usually make a starter but I once pitched a year old tube of Belgian High Gravity yeast directly into a 2.5 gallon batch of a Belgian Dark Strong, and after about 4 days it took off beautifully.
You just need first to apply the "sniff test" if it smell bad, especially if it smells like week old gorilla poop in a diaper left on the side of the road in the heat of summer.
Then make a starter, and if it takes off you are fine.
THe only issue I have is, did you sanitize the tube you put the yeast back into? Most of us store in mason jar that we either boil or sanitize with starsan or iodophor. If your vessel wasn't sanitized, then that may be an issue, and you'll know with a sniff test down the line.
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Definitely keep us posted. I'd like to know how this turns out. If this is successful I might try it out. I usually brew once a month so If I did this it would only need to be kept around 30 days before using it...
I sanitized with about 1C of bleach for a gallon of water for about an hour. That should do the trick. Right?
Revvy already posted a great link. I made a starter last weekend from yeast in my fridge that I harvested just short of 11 months earlier. It made a great starter and the beer was fermenting in under eight hours after pitching. I can be a bit lazy, but I'm pretty uptight about being as sanitary as possible. I don't think that long is recommended, but it worked for me. SO, yeast can survive quite a bit.

Oh come on quad, we all know how cheap those extension cables are!
I actually went through my bank statement the other day out of curiosity to see how much i'd spent on retro games/consoles/accessories since i started this thread.
I would like to tell you how much, but im genuinely terrified that my mrs could somehow stumble upon this thread and read it, in which case she would kill me and everyone ive ever met.....

Tell me about spending. I have an unhealthy addiction to vinyl records. You really don't want to know how much I've spent on those. In fact, neither do I!
And guttingly, the Wii U is the very first console that I haven't bought on launch day. Just couldn't afford it. Tried everything, but just couldn't get it.
Still got everything in the attic from the spectrum/snes (computer/console paths respectively) onwards.
Except the bloody wii u !
It's actually starting to do my head in a little bit

@Ultrasoundwave - do you collect old pc games too? Like the stuff gog sells really cheap?
If so, this and dosbox may sate your thirst a bit

WiiU is definitely worth getting mate, ZombiU, NSMBU and Nintendoland are excellent - with the games they announced yesterday too, its definitely worth picking one up.
However, i wouldnt be surprised if a 3DS-style price-cut is around the corner, so might be worth hanging on a bit.
As far as the spending on retro stuff goes, when i got the final amount on my calculator, i actually threw up a little bit in my mouth......thats all i can say.
"The worst part is, I'll have to have the break-up sex with myself!"

Lol @ calculator response
In that case, you definitely need to visit that link I posted above. It'll help calm you down!
Still, I've never seen a hearse with a baggage rack...
psn quaddy456, Dark Souls tips
As far as the PC games go, i think that is where im officially drawing the line - havent bought any yet and my wallet is pleading with me to stick to retro consoles only.
Its also reminding me about the human body needing food and water every day.......who knew?
"The worst part is, I'll have to have the break-up sex with myself!"
@Ultrasoundwave - so what has all this audacious spending got you so far then?

On a side note, started playing WW from the beginning yesterday...

psn quaddy456, Dark Souls tips
Now thats a question!
Lucky for you though, i purchased an iPhone app that lets me store my entire game collection, so i've all the info to hand (I am soooo cool) :
- An original Playstation, mint condition in the box. For games, i picked up MGS, Resident Evil 2, Gran Turismo, Silent Hill, GTA and GTA 2 - made sure they were all in great condition too.
- An original N64, mint condition in the box also. Only Picked up Zelda : Ocarina of Time and Goldeneye so far, but both mint condition (prices on them is hilarious).
- Gamecube, black, mint condition. Games so far being Animal Crossing, Mario Smash Football, MGS : Twin Snakes, Pikmin 1+2, Star Fox Adventures, Star Wars Rogue Leader, Viewtiful Joe and REmake (curse you DUFFMAN5!).
- Original Xbox - limited edition Halo xbox, mint condition. The amont of games i've got for it are ridiculous - 007 : Everything or nothing, Burnout, Counter-Strike, Doom 3, Enter the Matrix, GTA : San Andreas, Half-Life 2, Halo, Halo 2, Manhunt, MGS 2 : Substance, Psychonauts, Quantum Redshift, Rallisport Challenge, Star Wars Battlefront II, KOTOR, Star Wars : Republic Commando, The Thing and Timesplitters : Future Perfect.
- Dreamcast - didnt need the console, but spent a fortune on games and accessories. Picked up Crazy Taxi, Headhunter, Jet Set Radio, Metropolis Street Racer, Shenmue, Shenmue II, Starlancer and Toy Commander. Also managed to pick up a new, sealed controller and two VMUs.
- Saturn - Again, didnt need the console and havent picked up that many games : Nights into dreams, Wipeout and Panzer Dragoon Saga.
So there we go, thats everything. If you want to price all that up, you'd probably shat yourself the same way i did..........

Off the top of my head, i'd say you paid around �800 for that lot.
How much did your Halo Xbox set you back? really wanted to get one back in the day, could've had it for �50 new
javvyman wrote:@javvyman
I can neither confirm or deny that wild accusation! as it happens, your not far off.....
The Halo xbox was a complete surprise/fluke. Bought it off Amazon. The seller simply listed it as "Original Xbox, mint condition, still with original box, etc" but they didnt say anything about it being the Halo special edition.
Was quite chuffed when i opened the box!. They do go for ridiculous money these days, however, i dont think the person who sold it to me realised it was different from a standard version.
Paid �46
"The worst part is, I'll have to have the break-up sex with myself!"
Love the transluscent consoles.
Around 10 years ago, almost got hold of a limited edition blue N64, totally mint, boxed...
Was trying to trade in a PS1, raggedy old thing, just the controller and a couple of games. To my surprise, they were offering enough trade to get the N64 for nothing... the clerk had other ideas though, came up with some cock and bull about the PS1 not having the right AV inputs, refused my trade
This was at Gamestation mind, back when they were a bunch of scutty oppurtunists.
Still think about it to this day, the one that got away
Nice list of kit there. Good haulage skills
Wish I'd have kept my limited edition resident evil 4 gc :/

psn quaddy456, Dark Souls tips
You mean the Chainsaw controller?
Remember buying that with the intention of hoarding it.... Then we moved house, and the Mrs had me sell it only got a tenner for it! worth �50 now grrrrrr
@javvyman - bummer
Mine wasn't the chainsaw one, its just the one that has the resi 4 branding on it
And talking of Mrs getting me to sell things, I've had to get rid of loads of things over the years

Went to play eternal darkness this morning and can't find my resident evil gc pad, nor the bloody memory card
Now I'll have to buy both, just to play this bloody game again!
(Though we are talking a grand total of �8 for the pad and �1 for the card...)

|Well I recently installed PCSX2 on my PC to see if burnout 3, ssx tricky and SSX3 were as good as I remember. Tricky hasn't aged that well, burnout 3 still kicks ass even if there's a few issues with emulating it at the moment but dear god SSX3 is still insanely good. I'll work my onto some other PS2 games later on.

Very torn what to do now though - leave it sealed in the box and let it appreciate in value over the next 10-20 years or open it up and pick up some of the great games ive missed out on.

Def Leppard's Joe Elliott Labels Rock Hall Voters 'Faceless Tuxedo-Wearing Morons'
Def Leppard singer Joe Elliot has no interest in being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Def Leppard singer Joe Elliot has no interest in being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Phil Collen talks about the first time he met Kiss -- and Diana Ross -- back in the early '80s.
Kiss and Def Leppard will join forces for a 40-date North American Summer 2014 tour.
This summer two of the world's greatest rock bands, KISS and DEF LEPPARD, are set to deliver a massive tour dedicated to fans who wanna rock and roll all night! These two legendary rock bands spanning two continents announced today that they will launch the tour as KISS celebrates their 40th Anniversary. KISS and Def Leppard make a stop at Darien Lake on August 13th.
Tickets will go on sale Saturday March 22nd a
Def Leppard and Kiss will join forces for a summer 2014 tour, in what is expected to be one of the year's biggest classic rock events of the year.
In terms of charts and sales, 1996's 'Slang' marks the spot where Def Leppard went from being multi-platinum rock gods to just another veteran act struggling to fit in among the rapidly changing Top 40 trends of the '90s. But for the band members, the record has always meant a lot more.
Def Leppard's Joe Elliott will produce the sophomore record by Black Star Riders, a band featuring former members of Thin Lizzy. Elliott previously worked on the 2011 reissue of Thin Lizzy's 1976 classic 'Jailbreak' album. The Def Leppard singer also produced the first two solo albums by Black Star Riders' Ricky Warwick, who joined Thin Lizzy as vocalist in 2010.
Up until Jan. 20, 1983, when Def Leppard released their third album, 'Pyromania,' the British band wanted to be Led Zeppelin. Just look at their name.
a Def Leppard will enter the studio on February 1 to begin recording its first new studio effort since 2008's No. 5 Billboard hit 'Songs from the Sparkle Lounge.'

February is National Children's Dental Health Month.
Dr. Stacey Cerven and staff are excited about giving back to their community of Granite Falls by improving the dental health of local kids!
Parents often ask what they can do to prevent cavities in their kids. Making sure that there is a daily brushing and flossing routine established is first and foremost. It's also important that parents help their kids brush their teeth.
At such young ages, kids are still learning how to properly hold a toothbrush. So, reinforcement from the parents is key.
Kids can get cavities so easily now with the increase in processed foods and simple sugars in today's diets. Making smart snack and food choices are critical.
Candy, cookies, crackers, and other non-nutritious foods can contribute. Believe it or not, dried fruit such as raisins or fruit leather can be a big contributor to cavities.
Even without the added sugar in these products, the natural sugar in dried fruit or leathers is condensed into small, chewy, sticky, pieces and can hang around in the pits and grooves of the teeth.
Sealants will help prevent cavities. The placement involves bonding a plastic coating of material into the pits and grooves, allowing the chewing surface to become more smooth and less likely to trap food particles.
As part of National Children's Dental Health Month, Dr. Cerven's office will be having a FREE sealant day on Saturday, February 23.
They will see children from the ages of 6 through 18. A parent or guardian must be present with their child.
Please contact their office to schedule since this event is by appointment only. They're located at 405 South Granite Avenue.
To reserve your child's appointment time or if you have questions, contact us at Cerven Dentistry 360-691-7793 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com,

focused attacks, making coordinated attacks by hundreds of thousands of co-opted cooperating agents practical for the first time in history.
The potential consequences of a lack of security in cyberspace fall into three broad categories. First is the threat of catastrophe—a cyberattack, especially in conjunction with a physical attack, could result in thousands of deaths and many billions of dollars of damage in a very short time. Second is frictional drag on important economic and security-related processes. Today, insecurities in cyberspace systems and networks allow adversaries (in particular, criminals) to extract billions of dollars in fraud and extortion—and force businesses to expend additional resources to defend themselves against these threats. If cyberspace does not become more secure, the citizens, businesses, and governments of tomorrow will continue to face similar pressures, and most likely on a greater scale. Third, concerns about insecurity may inhibit the use of IT in the future and thus lead to a self-denial of the benefits that IT brings, benefits that will be needed for the national competitiveness of the United States as well as for national and homeland security.
A very broad spectrum of actors, ranging from lone hackers to major nation-states, poses security risks to the nation's IT infrastructure. Organized crime (e.g., drug cartels) and transnational terrorists (and terrorist organizations, perhaps state-sponsored) occupy a region in between these two extremes, but they are more similar to the nation-state than to the lone hacker.
High-end attackers are qualitatively different from others by virtue of their greater resources—money, talent, time, organizational support and commitment, and goals. These adversaries can thus target vulnerabilities at any point in the IT supply chain from hardware fabrication to end uses. Furthermore, they are usually highly capable of exploiting human or organizational weaknesses over extended periods of time. The bottom line is that the threat is growing in sophistication as well as in magnitude, and against the high-end attacker, many current best practices and security technologies amount to little more than speed bumps—thus requiring additional fundamental research and new approaches, such as a greater emphasis on mitigation and recovery.
The committee believes that individual users, organizations, and society at large are entitled to use and rely on information technologies whose

Let Them Eat Beat
By Jason Lamphier
"Into the Nightlife" is the new single, right?
Yes, I wanted to take a snapshot of the time that I was living. It's bips and bops of real-life things I do. You do sit around late at night after the club in Chinatown -- because it's the only thing that's open -- and you're sitting there, opening your fortune cookie and having a heated discussion about life. The title was taken from a Henry Miller play, which I found out about when I was reading a Lawrence Ferlinghetti beat poetry book. The song is derivative of real literature.
Why did you decide to record the video for "Into the Nightlife" at [New York City gay club] Splash?
I used to go dancing there. I remembered they had showers and thought that would make a great picture with the water. They have a great dance floor and excellent [bathroom] stalls. I didn't want to have a typical dance video and avoid the cheese factor. [Musician and former gay porn star] Colton Ford is in it, and Lucas Silveira from the Cliks, and my friends.
Did Alan Cumming make it to the shoot? You used to go out with him a lot when you were in The Threepenny Opera.
He was away, but that's where the germ came from. I knew [after that show] I'd go back to my world and not be with them anymore, but I thought if I made some music that they'd be dancing to that we'd still be together.
Do you still make it out to the clubs?
It's funny. When you're on tour nobody sees you, but I'm a rock n' roller. I'm not a nun! What do you think I do?!
What's the craziest moment you've had so far during the True Colors Tour?
The B-52's are wild -- and the best band. Rosie O'Donnell is fan-tastic! She is now dancing and singing with us, as well as doing percussion.
What does she sing with you guys?
"Rocking Chair."
Will fans see you as Marie Antoinette again?
Well, for the parade, when I'm the grand marshal, I have to think of something. I gotta pull it together.
I'm thinking big, big hair.
Well, I got a headdress. What kinda grand marshal would I be without it? Not so grand.

"Mr. SCV" to lead annual Independence Day parade.
The Santa Clarita Fourth of July Parade will have a familiar face riding in the Grand Marshal's convertible.
Local pundit and award-winning writer John Boston, a local boy made good, is practicing his pageant wave for the Independence Day ride.
When we caught up with Boston on his cell phone, we asked him about the honor.
First he corrected us on the title.
"It's Grand, pause for effect, Marshal," he said. After a few repetitions, with the emphasis on the "grand," he was satisfied.
"I am dumbfounded," he said, kidding aside. "It is so cool, I mean I can't get over it. I remember I used to ride in the parade with the equestrian marshals and that was the coolest thing."
He recalled participating in prior parades, especially when he rode with Cliffie Stone's sons Jonathan and Curtis Stone as "The Worthless Sons of Wealthy Landowners" and other times when he posed as bogus politicians to poke fun at the annual tradition.
"I think the Grand Marshal pays $5,000, doesn't it?" he asked, innocently.
Boston also recalled that this would officially be the second time he was invited to be the Grand Marshal, but the first time he'd actually follow through.
"We played an enormous practical joke on the parade committee about 30 years ago," he said. "Camille Jauregui was one of the most beautiful women on the planet and she and I went and had Hollywood glamour shots done. We used a lot of shadow and I wore a cowboy hat covering my eyes, so you really couldn't tell who we were.
"We made up a bogus film company using my friend Phil Lanier's Hollywood phone and address and sent the pictures to the parade committee. We said we were doing a miniseries on our own beloved William S. Hart and could we please ride in the parade?"
The entry was undoubtedly one of the best received that year and according to Boston, "the committee was doing chimpanzee backflips."
"They called Phil's number and said they'd be happy to have us ride, then a few days went by and they called back, saying they'd be happy to offer us a convertible. Camille and I thought what the heck, all these people would see it was us in the parade and laugh."
What they didn't anticipate was the committee's next call.
"They called and asked us to be a division marshal," Boston said. "Then a few days later, they said they wanted us to be Grand Marshal. We realized this had become the practical joke that backfired, so we wrote a letter on the bogus studio stationery telling them the film company had run out of money and the project was cancelled. We were like a couple of kids who got their hands caught in the cookie jar.
"Thirty years later and it comes back to haunt me, I really am the Grand Marshal," he said, laughing.
Boston, who has written more than 5,000 newspaper columns and entertained an entire generation with his witty repartee, is also the recipient of several notable journalism awards, including the prestigious Will Rogers Humanitarian Achievement Award. He was named Best Humor Columnist in America by the National Society of Newspaper Columnists and won both Best Serious Column and Best Humorous Column from the National Newspaper Association in 2006.
He lives in Newhall with his 5-year old daughter Indiana and his 85-year old father, Walt.
Despite the heat, his family might just be riding in the parade too.
"Wear a good cowboy hat and it doesn't bother you," he advised.
Parade applications and additional parade information are available from the parade website at www.scvparade.com. Completed applications may be mailed back to the committee or dropped off at The Signal (24000 Creekside Road, Valencia) or KHTS AM1220 offices at 27225 Camp Plenty Road, Suite 8 in Canyon Country. The firm deadline for parade entries is 5 p.m, June 27.

"Well done, Lalla"
The former Doctor Who actress, Lalla Ward (Richard Dawkins' partner) is the real star of this recording. She gives a forceful reading that really packs a punch. Well done!
"Best of Audible"
I have been an Audible member for several years, listen mostly to the literary classics, and this is the finest reading I have heard on Audible.
"Glad to have it"
It's nice to see this finally has become available online. Do not let Davidson's accent put you off. He does a fine job and ably conveys Byron's uproarious wit.
He does make one rather appalling mistake: he pronounces Juan as the Spanish pronounce it. As almost any English lit major will tell you, it is to be pronounced: "JOO-un".
A vastly entertaining poem by a truly great poet.
"Quite good!"
Hill does quite a good job with Against the Day. Easy to follow, nice leisurely pace, and a welcome variety of voices, never overdone, make this an enjoyable listen.

The mission to motivate others doesn't stop at Aim High Studio's name. Whether leading sweaty cyclists through a virtual Grand Canyon, stretching limbs in a heated yoga studio, or strengthening hugs with TRX bands, the instructors always strive to help each student meet his or her individual goals. To accomplish this, they maintain small class sizes and offer one-on-one and small-group personal-training sessions. They encourage students to modify their workouts and blend their methods??some classes even combine spinning and yoga. The staff also encourages its guests to meet their fitness goals by assuming a holistic approach via bodywork. Deep-tissue and trigger-point massage therapy joins Thai-yoga bodywork and nutrition counseling on the docket of comprehensive mind and body care.
One gym can hardly contain Master Solomon Brenner's martial-arts expertise, which is why his school—Action Karate—has expanded to 13 different locations. Brenner believes that the martial arts are a lifelong pursuit, so he takes on students aged 3–93.
His classes for kids blend fitness with self-discipline, whereas his classes for adults focus on toning exercises and self-defense. Not all of his classes involve combat; some dedicate entire hours to pure strength training or cool-pose striking. He and his staff also host birthday parties for kids, which include fun martial-arts instruction, games, and a ceremonial slicing of birthday cake with a samurai sword.
There are two kinds of workouts at SoulBeat Spin & Barre Studio. The first are the indoor-cycling classes, which use upbeat hip-hop and pop tunes to get hearts racing and feet to churn in time with the music. Then there are the barre classes, which combine low-impact, isometric exercises with ballet-inspired stretches that strengthen and lengthen muscles throughout the body. But there's actually a third class, too: the fusion class. These sessions provide cardio work and strength training by incorporating both indoor cycling and barre routines into a 60-minute workout. To help make workouts convenient, the studio offers childcare services at select times.
CrossFit Ravenous helps people of all ages exceed their personal fitness goals with functional, high-octane workouts that keep minds and muscles fully engaged. It's almost impossible to get bored during a CrossFit workout; the program's ever-changing array of strength and endurance exercises ensures that. But the most appealing aspect of CrossFit might be that it can be tailored to anyone's abilities. No matter your fitness level, you can work under certified CrossFit coach Jason Below to build muscle and burn fat with a regimen of squats, push-ups, and tractor throws.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Kentucky State Police have laid off 20 troopers as the agency deals with an expected budget shortfall.
Police Commissioner Rodney Brewer told the Lexington Herald-Leader the troopers dismissed were veteran officers brought out of retirement on annual contracts. They had signed new contracts on July 1.
The agency anticipates a budget gap of $5.8 million. Brewer said the layoffs will save $1.25 million.
Half of the state's 16 KSP posts were affected by the layoffs, which occurred Friday.

COLLIER for the Wiggs Family – CA
David and Tracy were married in 2000, and have seven children, and two of them are adopted. They began fostering in 2006. They have a passion for the orphan and believe in their hears that the LORD has willed these children that continue to come into their lives. Just when Tracy and David think they're done, God has a different plan for their lives. When Collier, a small boy with Down syndrome from Eastern Europe was first seen by Tracy, she shared him with her husband and they both knew the LORD was leading them to adopt him. David and Tracy are very excited to meet and eventually adopt Collier, they both know God will work out all the details, and that His Will be done. The verse Tracy and David use to confirm the passion that God has placed in their hearts for the orphan is this:
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and keep oneself from being polluted by the world. (James 1:27)

Incorporating just one of two of these into your daily routine can add ease into your life in significant and surprising ways. Little actions such as these will smooth the stress and keep you in touch with your summer joy.
I have been sitting at my computer for two weeks off and on searching for places to go. Yes, I am an adventurer. I love to travel, meet people, live...
The antidote to this shame is joy, and I believe that this joy can be found in play. As we all know, joy can never be held in or tethered -- it can only live if we release it, and it is within this release that my freedom will be found.
Remember when you were a child and everything around you was novel and beautiful, and filled you with a sense of awe? Unfortunately, the demands of ou...
Has anyone upset you lately? When I get rattled, generally it's by folks who:
1. Blame others (and won't change themselves)
2. Judge & criticize (...
If you want to move beyond emptiness and neediness, then practice these six ways of filling up. You will be amazed at the shift that occurs in your life -- both in your relationships and in your ability to manifest your dreams!
If you want to change the world, if you want to love unconditionally and have compassion for others, that seed must be planted inside of yourself first.

It's easy to believe that our lives are too full for solitude. But the rewards of carving out time for yourself are great (just be careful that it doesn't feel like an obligation). Befriend yourself, and prioritize one-on-one time with that friend.
I was brought up strictly, and told repeatedly not to 'play with your food', but now I'm officially old enough to ignore any advice from my parents, and I have decided that some of these look rather fun. Here's a few to titivate those taste buds and bring out your inner child -- the naughty one.
The simple truth is this: Our self-concept is our destiny. So if we want to change our destiny for the better, we need to change our concept and beliefs about our selves also for the better. We always have the freedom to choose better thoughts.
I am convinced that we all have a choice: to be positive and work through it, or not. Allowing your inner child to always shine through is a powerfully-wonderful positivity factor. Don't be afraid to be a grown up kid at times -- let your guard down and just be.
Energy comes from humor. However, each of us, even the crotchety, must locate our sense of what's funny, raucous or wry. Although jokes often elude me, I really respond to the spontaneous comedy of life itself.
Twenty years ago, a divine gift touched my soul and stirred my spirit. While visiting my cousin in California, her then-6-year-old daughter Nikki and I spent a whole glorious day playing dolls.
As children, most of us want to be astronauts or presidents or ballerinas. Then, over time, we stop thinking about what we want to be and become what ...
Our culture has a way of fostering the belief that the "grass is always greener on the other side." I find it fascinating that the more we dream about what we want, the more we forget how to really dream.
My children make me happy for many reasons, of course. But it strikes me that one reason they make me happy is they encourage me to engage more deeply with the physical world.
For those of us who are both afflicted and blessed by the tendency to feel deeply about people and things, we may find ourselves very conflicted about the flurry of expectations for us to spend money and experience joy for the "holidays."
If you pay careful attention to your emotions, you will discover, in your relationships with others, that it is often not another's behavior that is creating your misery or your inner peace or joy, but rather your own responses.
I pose this challenge to anyone engaged in the lifelong process of nurturing the inner child: nurture your inner adult. Allow yourself to revisit the past. Process the pain. And then get a life.
One of the unexplainable mysteries of life, like what happens when we die, or what gluten is made of, is why perfectly nice women like bad guys. It is...
I went to the Denver Zoo recently to reflect. Quite often, a change of scenery helps give me a fresh perspective.
Creating is delightful, fun and calming. It is spiritual, healing and transformative. Finding your creativity will help your physical health as well as make you a kinder, more generous person.

Ford Mondeo XR5 Turbo

- Price
- From $41,990.
- Series
- Series Year
- 2008
- Body Group
- hatchback
- Torque
- 162 kW/320 Nm.
- What's it got?
- Seven airbags, ABS, traction/stability control, leather/alcantara trim.
If you think you've heard the Mondeo name before, you'd be right, as the first generation car was sold here between 1995 and 2001.
The new Mondeo is the third generation car, pitched into the growing medium-sized car market.
The Mondeo showcases Ford's European "kinetic" styling theme with its trapezoidal openings, rising window line and intricate body details. It gives a vague hint of what to expect when the "Orion" Falcon arrives in 2008.
What do you get?
The Mondeo comes in four specifications - LX, Zetec, TDCi and the XR5 Turbo being tested here - and three engines - 2.3-litre petrol, 2.0-litre turbo-diesel and the XR5's 2.5-litre in-line five-cylinder turbo-petrol.
All Mondeos come standard with seven airbags (including a driver's knee airbag), ABS and ESP.
As the $41,990 flagship of the range, the XR5 includes a leather/alcantara trim, climate control, keyless start, a jazzier instrument pod, six-CD audio with MP3 (and an aux socket) and cruise control. Bluetooth is optional, including voice control that extends to the audio system and climate control.
The XR5's intentions are emphasised by 18-inch alloy wheels, lowered sports suspension, bodykit and a six-speed manual as the only transmission. The six-speed auto that's standard with all other Mondeos is a beaut and would be a great option.
What's inside
Inside, you'll find this is a big car. There is sprawling space front and rear and a massive 528 litres of luggage space - even before you split-fold the deeply reclined and comfortable rear seat, leaving a nearly flat-space capable of holding 1448 litres.
Compared with the current Falcon, the Mondeo has a longer wheelbase and wider tracks, despite being 152 mm shorter overall. Combine that with a space efficient front-wheel-drive layout and it offers more boot space and competitive interior space. It's hard to imagine anyone struggling for leg or headroom in the rear seat. However, children will not enjoy the high window line, as they will struggle to see out.
There are door and seat pockets for storage - cupholders are in the doors - a fold-down centre armrest and B-pillar mounted air-conditioning vents.
The XR5's front seats are well bolstered, quite large and also heated. The driver gets powered height adjustment.
The steering wheel adjusts for reach and rake and includes controls for audio, cruise. A colour information display sits between the instruments.
The XR5's interior lifts itself a class above the rest of the Mondeo range with its colours, trim and even ambient lighting.
There are annoyances though; the dash-top reflects in the windscreen and the readout in the centre stack becomes unreadable if you're wearing polarising sunglasses.

all-wheel-drive grip, efficient dash layout, five-star NCAP, good quality.
Against: Weak low-end engine response, can be thirsty, steering lacks feedback, hard ride, some tyre noise, rear seat space a bit tight for tall adults.
Our score: 4/5
Under the bonnet
The XR5 is powered by an engine that originally hails from Volvo - a Ford-owned company. An unusual twin-cam, 20-valve, five-cylinder layout, it's already seen here in the Ford Focus XR5, where it provides exhilarating performance.
However, the Mondeo XR5 is 238 kg heavier, so it lacks the same level of zing. It's still an effective powerplant, its greatest asset being the production of peak torque
(a substantial 320 Nm) between 1500 rpm and 4800 rpm. This provides strong overtaking and accelerative urge, without ever possessing the feral edge normally associated with Ford's XR badge.
It comes with a rorty soundtrack but the top-end is as uninspiring as the mid-range is energising.
The six-speed Getrag manual is a decent shifter and the clutch well-weighted.
Ford claims the XR's fuel consumption matches the 2.3-litre petrol-auto at 9.5 L/100 km. In practice expect 11-12 L/100 km on premium unleaded.
How it drives
This is where Mondeo truly shines, setting a new standard in the medium class for ride and handling. Considering the quality of the Mazda6, Accord Euro and Liberty that's quite an achievement.
Based on a relatively new architecture that is shared between Ford and its premium brands, the XR5 offers terrific steering, strong grip and precise, reassuring control. The ESP is sensitive and supportive.
Despite its sports suspension and low profile rubber, XR5's slower speed (round town) ride is completely acceptable. Only a consistent grumbling on coarse chip surfaces annoys.
Shopping centre manoeuvring is compromised by thick pillars, the rising window line and a large turning circle, but at least front and rear parking sensors are standard.
The Mondeo offers an exceptional standard of safety equipment. Knee airbags are a rarity even at much higher price levels and ESP is often not standard fare in the medium segment. The ABS system comes with both emergency brake distribution and brake assist.
A five-star Euro NCAP crash-test result adds further reassurance, as does the car's outstanding dynamic abilities.
Overall verdict
The Mondeo XR5 Turbo is more a prestige tourer with a sporting edge than a true hotty like the Focus XR5 or Falcon XR6 Turbo.
It's a classy, well-equipped, sharply priced, spacious car that's fun to drive and easy to live with.

Several MSN Messenger Sessions
Easily connect on multiple accounts
One of the main disadvantages of MSN Messenger is that it allows you to access only one account per session. This can cause discomfort, especially if a member of your family or a friend want to log in into MSN while you're using it. While the quickest solution may seem to log out, the simplest is to use an application such as Several MSN Messenger Sessions.
It's the simplest because you're efforts are greatly reduced once the application resides on your system. A great downside comes from the fact that the software is compatible only with version 4 of MSN Messenger, which is a very outdated edition of Microsoft's Instant Messenger.
Quick setup and launch
However, if you still use that old variant, then you can install Several MSN Messenger Sessions. Deployment requires you to hit a few 'Next' buttons and usage is as simple as two clicks, literally. Instructions are available in the included help file, but they can be easily summed up.
First off, launch the msmsgs.exe file, after which you are required to log in to MSN with one of your accounts. The second and last step consists of running the executable again and a second IM session will be instantly open, allowing you to access a second account.
To end with
In conclusion, Several MSN Messenger Sessions is a good choice if you want to enable multiple MSN instances. On the downside of things, it's compatible with a very outdated edition of the messenger and software updates are less likely to be issued any time soon.
