5 Reasons This Is the Year to Watch the NHL
Four divisions, two conferences. It'll mean more rivalry games, every team playing in every arena every season and, aside from the Florida teams, geographically contiguous divisions.
This is where the die-hards scowl and start longing for the days of the old Patrick and Norris divisions, but where just about every hockey fan not in the Chicagoland or Detroit areas breathes a sigh of relief. Here's the short version: The NHL had six divisions and two conferences, it's now down to four divisions and two conferences.Why? Mostly because you had a handful of teams doing a disproportionate amount of traveling between time zones. The Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets were the only two teams in the Eastern time zone playing in the league's Western Conference. This meant fans were routinely subject to obnoxiously late start times for away games as their teams logged a whole lot of travel miles. The Winnipeg Jets, meanwhile, were still stuck playing teams based predominantly in the East after the franchise moved from Atlanta in 2011. The Dallas Stars didn't have it much easier, as their division foes were well to the West. That's all changed under the current alignment shifting the Blue Jackets into the Metropolitan Division with the nearby Pittsburgh Penguins and the Red Wings into the Atlantic with its old rivals the Toronto Maple Leafs and closer competitors in Ottawa and Buffalo. Dallas and Winnipeg now share space in the Central with Chicago, St. Louis, Minnesota, Nashville and Colorado. Meanwhile, shifting the Vancouver Canucks and San Jose Sharks into the same division in the Pacific should create some friction between the playoff rivals. Some facets of this change still don't smell quite right. Blackhawks and Red Wings fans aren't thrilled about their rivalry being minimized, while the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers are still wondering why they have to leapfrog the entire Metropolitan Division to get to their rivals in the Atlantic. With Quebec City already starting work on an NHL arena, it would be hard to blame cynical fans for wondering whether the league foresees one of the Florida clubs heading north in the near future. Also, with each division in the Western Conference one team lighter than their counterparts in the East, there are still unanswered questions about possible expansion into NHL-ready towns including Kansas City, Portland, Ore., and Seattle. What we do know, however, is that this whole alignment is going to make the playoffs a lot more interesting. The top three teams from each division make it in, the last four teams consist of the two teams with the most points in each conference. Basically, a weak division can send just three teams while its stronger counterpart sends five. The league's adding a wildcard system that should benefit division champs a bit, but all of it could be moot in two years when the NHL re-evaluates the whole thing.

Where (on your body) are you losing weight?
I wish I was one of those people who lost from all over, but alas, I am not! Since starting JUDDD, my tops and bras are noticeably looser, but my pants are just fitting more comfortably. I am definitely bottom heavy, so of course I wish the weight was coming from there! I had originally set a goal of 130, but now I'm wanting to go lower since I can tell it's not going to put me into a smaller pant size. I know they say the first place you gain is the last place you lose so I'm hoping if I'm persistent then some of the stubborn fat on my lower half will come off! (with the help of strength training - I know that's important in re-shaping your body)
So, how about you? Where are you losing from? I'm interested in hearing from those at goal too -- did your stubborn areas eventually give up and get smaller? Just wanted to get some discussion going on this topic!
I lose from everywhere but my stomach. That's why I decided to quit losing. I can look emaciated everywhere else and still have a poochy tummy. :(
I lose pretty evenly but l am always inclined to be top heavy.
I have noticed loss all over - face, wrist, feet, chest, waist. This month I have slowed down with loss, understandably - but noted that my weight is shifting a bit, pants have gotten a lot looser this month in the waist, more loose than 3 pounds would account for - shifting for sure.
I looked at your height - 5'6" same as me. Yet your starting weight is LESS than my goal weight. LOL I carry my weight throughout my body - so different body shapes for sure.
My goal weight is just a first goal though - not sure where I will end up, or what weight will be most comfortable for me.
I lose all over at a higher weight (like now). Then it sort of seems to come off in sections - or did in the past anyway. Like the back and upper stomach fat disappears (or is visibly reduced anyway) from 170 to 150. From 150 to 130, my waist really whittles down a lot. Legs never really seem to decrease - or increase - much (except at the tops - when I'm thinner, there's a gap where fat currently resides). Outer hip and lower stomach areas do not reduce except with vanity pounds, really clean eating and a lot of work. Mostly a lot of work. But it takes the chest and face fat with it and I'm not sure that's worth the sacrifice. :) Would rather be a B student than an A student in that department. And I think I might get wrinkles if my face was too thin now at 48 y.o.
I'm going to give the 6 week cure for the middle aged middle a shot on down days (and partially modify UD's to incorporate it) in September and see if that works for losing some midsection visceral fat. Post #943 gives some people's results:
Funny you should ask this... I usually gain & lose pretty proportionately (except my already small boobsare usually the first to go, and the last to show). But this time, (and maybe it's just that I am measuring wrong?) it seems that I've only lost inches from my waist since starting JUDDD in April. That can't truly be right... can it? Maybe so though... my pants are falling down, so definitely a correct measurement of loss in the waist. But my bras and shirts don't seem to fit much differently.
I measure the following:
Neck, Chest, Bust, Waist, Hips, Thigh, Bicep
All the same except for the waist. :dunno:
If I weighted 100lbs I would still have big thighs, calves, I get that from my grandmother:)
Which I love her so I'm good with it. My sister total opposite, skinny legs, I don't like her:)
I'm back on the JUDDD game. Fingers crossed, lips closed eod. :)
I wish I could see my waist reduce a bit.... Remember, the pants don't lie. :)
So many interesting responses - keep 'em coming! It's amazing to me how unique each of our bodies is. I'm really interested to see what will happen with mine if I can continue to lose. I always give up when I get to the "vanity pounds" stage but I am determined to power through this time. I am beyond thrilled to have maintained a healthy weight for quite some time (I weighed 190 years ago & lost a good bit on WW) but I can't help wishing I looked good in a bathing suit. LOL!
I'm not exactly sure anymore. I have definitely lost it from all over and am smaller overall. Right now, I'd have to say my upper arms and upper torso are slimming down more than anywhere else. Which is great - I need it! But it also means that I'm not going down as fast in pants sizes, which is what I always use as my goal markers. :stars:
I tend toward the pear shape and always have, so my butt and thighs are always the last to go. No reason that should be any different this time around.
Torso, from bra line to belly button lol.
Then hips.
My thighs have always been "thick", no matter what I weigh.
I wish I could lose a little in my chubby cheeks! (face lol).
My upper body has lost the most weight so far, as I'm still in some pants that I wore 33 lbs ago!!! Unreal. I'm also surprised that I still have a lot of weight in my face. :( I don't see it in the mirror, but once again, it's really noticeable in pictures. My avi shows it a little, but it's more kind than most pics. ;)
I am like Goner, I lost all over, then it shifted in slow or non-loss months. Sometimes pants become loose other time it's the bras and the tops!:dunno:
I lose all over, but I mainly lose up top. My face is slimmer and I can see the change in my tummy. Most likely from the cardio. Fortunately, my breasts usually stay the same. They are the one area on my body that I truly love. I've lost 40 pounds and I'm starting to change pants size, but my bottom half always accepts the weight loss differently then the rest of my body.
I've jumped up to 124 and was at 121 for a while, but my 29 jeans are loser and I lost an inch in my waist. My fingers have also gotten quite thin in the last month. My size 5 ring that I got to hold my wedding band and engagement ring on is too big! My belly is expanding though :stars:
I generally lose from all over. Hourglass, but my upper body is a little stubborn (upper arms really). Since I'm doing everything I can this time to hold on to my lean muscle and build a little (gained approximately 3.5lbs of muscle in the past 7 weeks) I'm hoping that as a drop the fat a much more defined shape will emerge and my arm issue will subside once I hit goal. I'm looking to gain another 4 pounds of muscle and maintain the total gains for the duration of my fat loss.
I think a lot of the "everywhere is skinny but one area" can't be fixed with anything but good old fashioned exercise. Your body loses fat where it loses it and the only way to truly change the shape is to build up the areas you think are too skinny with muscle. That extra muscle gives your body shape, fills out the too thin looking areas AND burns the stubborn calories in the pudgy areas that won't budge with diet alone.
That's why I don't really care about that I've just lost "weight". That's not telling me much. I want to lose FAT and maintain or increase my lean muscle mass. That's what's going to give me the body I want.
I agree with that assessment FB. It's the laziness that gets me. :D I'm working hard enough just by dieting! Isn't that enough? ;) I'm going to get that damned weight bench out of the garage one day soon--by this weekend. I'm putting it here, so ask me if I've done it yet in a few days.:cool:
I am with Dawn & Carly...the belly will not go! Major icky muffin top going on here...
Carly, my scale has been stubborn, too, yet I am down 1- 1 1/2" in my stubborn tummy this month. Wacky!
I definitely need to start some weight training, but it clearly is not happening before the kids go BTS. I sure better get this show started for fall, though!
I have a room full of exercise equipment. I think I am going to get rid of all of it except the bike so it can be a guest bedroom again. When I reached goal way back when I got ALL into weight lifting. It did improve my physique a bit, but it took so much time and effort I don't think I care to do that again.
I'm not sure what's happening with me this trip through JUDDSville, but last time when I'd lost X number of pounds (probably 25 or so), I was dropping down into size 14 pants, close to 12s, from my original tight 18s. Now this time I started 30 pounds lighter than last time, I'm still in my 16s and not dropping sizes. My weight is dropping tho. So, when you ask where we're losing weight, I don't know. My face is looking thinner, and my thighs seem to be smaller, and my wedding ring has started sliding around my finger, but other than that??? I don't know. :dunno: I, too, have the Wii, elliptical, and recumbent bicycle, none of which have been used in the last year or so. The exercise machines will go into our next yard sale for someone else to store!!
Big 5: dead lifts, bench press, reverse grip pull down, overhead press, seated row, squats
6 years ago, I debated between a dog or a treadmill. Treadmills don't give you that sad look or eat shoes when you don't use them so the dog won.
Dogs are way better than treadmills!
Yep, I'm a top loser first. Shopped for new bras before anything else. Go figure. If I could walk upside down and backwards I'd have the perfect body. lol:D

Baltimore, Maryland, June 28, 2011 Nurses, occupational and physical therapists, case managers and education staff, all working together at a 300-bed Nebraska rehabilitation hospital, have successfully implemented a team approach to dramatically reduce infections from urinary catheters, the most prevalent type of infection acquired in healthcare settings.
The interdisciplinary team at Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in Lincoln, one of the largest free-standing rehabilitation hospitals in the country, reduced catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) by 89 percent over a 14-month period according to an abstract presented today at the 38th Annual Educational Conference and International Meeting of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC).
Led by infection preventionist Kristina Felix, BA, RN, CRRN, CIC, the team worked to decrease the use of catheters, which are a known risk factor for UTIs, discontinuing their use unless medically necessary. In cases where urinary catheters were required, the team educated nursing staff, therapy staff, family members and patients on proper care to reduce the chance of infection.
When the project was initiated in February 2010 the CAUTI prevalence rate was 36.6 percent, but dropped to 6.6 percent three months later. The original pilot concluded in April 2011.
Felix's team identified underlying reasons for catheter use when medical necessity was in question. Contributing factors included patients admitted to rehabilitation settings from acute care facilities with catheters in place, and patients whose families viewed catheters as a more convenient way to manage incontinence. The task force improved bladder management protocols and standards, balancing the medical requirements of the patient with the need for patients to be infection-free, continually re-assessing the appropriateness for each catheter. They utilized a "decatheterization protoc

Thank you so much, you sereously have no idea how much that means to me. :D
Yeah, originally it was just going to be the Samedi story arc, but then I watched a few brotherhood cutscenes and was like, "crap shaundi's involved with that one too!" So yeah, I'm gonna do all of the story arcs through shaundi's point of view, I guess, or just tie certain events in with this one, like when Carlos gets killed, since I mentioned the meeting with Maero and all, I guess when shaundi is talking with boss it'll come up then. :p

Veteran Child
The next day
Shaundi was busy measuring out bags of Loa dust when she noticed that she was alone in the hideout. Great, just leave me here, thanks guys! she called out sarcastically, like anyone knew where this place was anyways. Shaundi was deep in thought about boss, Carlos, and Pierce when she heard a voice that she absolutely despised. Nice place youve got here Shaundi. Shaundi gasped slightly, dropping the bag of loa dust she had been holding. What are you doing here?? He took a step forward, he had a berretta in his hand. I know youre here alone. Oh crap, hed been watching everyone file out, maybe even listening to see how long everyone would be gone Shaundi looked around.
YES! Her pistol was sitting on the chair she had been sitting in earlier, if she could get past Veteran Child, and get to it, she could take him out! Shaundi slowly picked up a bag of Loa dust, and said, not for long Im not, so youd better- but he cut her off, and ?#!$@* the M9, dont make this difficult. NOW! Shaundi yelled at herself as she threw the bag of dust at his face, it burst open, blinding him for a second. She vaguely heard him yell, @#**?! but she didnt care, If she could just get to her gun, but Veteran Childs arm darted out and grabbed her neck, and slammed her back against the table. Shaundis head hit the corner of the scale she was using, and she cried out, then fell out of consciousness.
She was in such a daze when she woke up, she was hunched over veteran childs arm, being dragged to a car. Shaundi heard a door open, and Shaundi felt the soft shag carpet of Veteran Childs van underneath her. She then heard a door slam shut, and an engine roar to life. Was Shaundi in a vehicle? Of course she was, she was in the van or was she? Hell Shaundi didnt know, all she knew was that her head felt like an overripe melon fixing to explode, and she could hear something veteran child, talking on the phone. Shaundi tried to move to get closer to hear better, but she could barely move her head, let alone roll over or crawl towards the drivers seat.
Shaundi hadnt been in this much pain or this much of a daze since she got slipped a roofie from one of her dates one time. When it kicked in, Shaundi was walking to the car, and she hit her head on the pavement. Veteran child slammed the van into gear, and Shaundi was slammed against the wall of the van when he jammed the gas and took a sharp turn. Shaundi didnt know how long had passed, maybe ten minutes? By the time the van stopped, Shaundi was sure they where clear across Stillwater by now.
The side door of the van was ripped open, and Shaundi was blinded by a harsh light. Shaundi was dragged out of the van by her dreads, and Shaundi cried out, clawing at veteran childs hand, taking a chunk of skin with her. *%$@!! he yelled, smacking her over the head with his pistol. A firecracker of pain exploded in Shaundis skull, and she couldnt hold onto consciousness any more. When she drifted awake, she heard veteran child cussing. this cant be @%#*!$* happening He then hung up the phone, and approached Shaundi. She then looked around a bit, she was at On track, the club that Veteran child was the DJ at every night. Shaundi saw tons of Samedi lackeys standing around with guns, one girl in a green tank top, a fugly tattoo on her face, and some tiny brown shorts that could be classified as underwear was sitting next to her, she was dabbing a rag on Shaundis head. When Shaundi spied the rag, she wished she hadnt. It had blood on it, a lot of it. Shaundi groaned, and tried to reach up to feel the back of her head. Did she have a giant bald spot? But the girl hissed, dont move !%*#$, or Ill blow whats left of your fried ass brains out. Oh, she was charming. Shaundi hoped boss blew her brains out when she found her.
Veteran child grabbed Shaundis arm, and took her downstairs to the dance floor. wanna dance Shaundi? It might be the last time before I put a bullet in that pretty little skull of yours. Shaundi could barely stand, let alone dance, but she knew he was kidding, Veteran Child didnt dance. #*?@ off, you lousy piece of- but Shaundi was cut off by another burst of pain, Shaundi guessed that he had grabbed her dreads again, hell she didnt even know anymore, all she knew was that it hurt like !?#%. Before too long, she heard gunshots, and screams. YES! Boss was here, and she was going to get Shaundi out of here. Before Shaundi knew it, she heard the distinctive sound of Bosss stiletto heels on the glass dance floor.
Veteran child had her held up as a human shield, and Shaundi held her hands up. Boss wouldnt shoot through her, would she? No, boss would find a way to get Shaundi away from Veteran child before she shot him right? Then the room exploded with gunfire, Shaundis right eardrum felt like it was about to explode, then she was blinded by the brightest light shed ever seen, she felt a huge wave of force slam through her chest, and she realized that boss was using flash bangs to make VC drop Shaundi long enough to blow his !?$%#@* brains out. Shaundi didnt even feel herself hit the floor, but before she could tell that, the room had gone silent.
Shaundi had the worst headache of her life in fact, take the worst hangover youve EVER had, and multiply that by a thousand, Shaundis head felt like it was going to bust open any minute. Shaundi sat up slightly, and a huge wave of pain shot through her left leg. Had she been caught in the crossfire? Shaundi managed to open her eyes a bit to see that a shard of glass from the dance floor was sticking out of her shin. Well thats just amazing, thatll be fun to get out later.
She put a hand to her throbbing forehead, this was going to be a long #**%$@! night. Shaundi, are you ok? she heard boss ask her, she felt herself being lifted up, and supported from her left side. My ex boyfriend is a $!%*. was all Shaundi could think, and apparently it was out loud, because boss said, pretty much, yeah. Shaundi saw boss push the door to on track open, and she said, I cant believe you got your ass kicked by that chump. Shaundi couldnt believe it either, she needed to go to the gym. did I mention that my ex boyfriend is a #!*@? you should get home and rest.
Shaundi was in so much pain, she knew she would have to resort to pot to clear this god awful headache, so she retorted, if by rest you mean a smoke and an ounce, then hell yeah. Boss chuckled, then she said, ok, think you can hang in the back seat for a bit till I get you back to the hideout? Weve gotta get some pot in you before we can take care of your leg. Shaundi nodded. fine by me, just as long as I dont feel anything Shaundi was so out of it, she didnt even remember the ride back to the hideout, except for thinking that this car smelled, and thinking that she was going to die because boss was driving so fast.
When the car finally stopped, boss opened the car door, and gently pulled Shaundi out of the car. come on, we need to get your leg taken care of, its not looking too good. Its probably a good thing this isnt my car either, you got blood all over the seat. Shaundi didnt really acknowledge what boss had said, she put her foot down to walk, and she passed out. When she woke up, she was naked, and she saw boss standing nearby. Im naked why? Shaundi asked, trying to lift her head but failing. She did manage to look around a bit, she and boss where the only two in the room. You got blood all over your clothes, and you locked your door. I also needed to make sure the blood on your shirt wasnt from a bullet in your torso. Shaundi shrugged, I can live with that. Boss smirked, ok Shaundi, youve got a chunk of glass in your leg, I need you to smoke this, itll keep you from feeling so much of it. Boss said as she handed Shaundi a blunt. got a light? she said as she sat up slowly, sticking the blunt in her mouth and taking the lighter from boss.
Shaundi had to admit, she did love getting high, the feeling of not caring about anything was what kept Shaundi doing the drugs, plus it was a good pain reliever. After Shaundi had taken a few puffs, she began to feel awesome, like she could do anything, I think this #@%$s workin, you may wanna you know.. Shaundi said slowly, struggling to focus on boss. Damn, this *!%# works fast. Boss had Shaundi lay back down, and Shaundi felt bosss hand touch her left leg, but it was distant, Shaundi didnt know how badly this was going to hurt. She then felt bosss hand move, and something that felt like being poked with a stick, or bitten by a mosquito, Shaundi looked around, you done yet? Boss smiled, yep Shaundi, youre doing great. she then felt something like a snake wrapping around her leg, but then Shaundis analytical side kicked in, its a bandage she thought to herself. you know boss .now that VC is.. What is he, that word oh yeah dead. I dont have to worry about his insistent stalking and stuff thanks for blowing his brains across the dance floor. Boss smiled at Shaundi and helped her sit up.
Im glad to help, now I need the key to your room, what clothes do you usually sleep in? Shaundi felt lightheaded, so she lay back down, the key is is in my pants pocket . I sleep in I sleep in a big white t-shirt it was my daddys. Boss grabbed Shaundis pants off the ground, and dug through the pockets. got the key, Ill be right back, dont move, you understand me? Shaundi nodded, I feel fine! Like I could run a Mara . A mara-mathon? Is that what its called? Boss laughed as she walked out of the room and across the hall to Shaundis room. Shaundi then realized where she was.
She was in bosss room, in the hideout. Holy *$!*! Nobody had been here except for boss. Shaundi felt like she was invading bosss privacy for a second, being naked in BOSSS room then it may have just been the pot, but she thought, what if I wasnt naked JUST because boss was checking me for holes? apparently, Shaundi was thinking out loud again, and apparently Shaundi had the worst timing ever, because as she said that sentence, boss opened the door. No Shaundi, I didnt $%?* you in your sleep. boss said jokingly as she tossed Shaundis white shirt on the bed. Shaundi almost started laughing, then boss was beside her, and she helped Shaundi sit up and put her t-shirt on.
ok Shaundi, its been a long day, you need sleep. Boss said as she got up and turned out the lights as she opened the door. but wait Im in your room arent I? Boss chuckled, and said jokingly, Itll be too much of a pain in the ass to move you, and I think letting you sleep in my bed ONCE cant hurt. then boss shut the door, and Shaundi was in the dark, smiling her head off, then she drifted off to sleep.
I hope you enjoyed, comments, concerns, criticism, it's all welcome! :D

HUC-JIR's Certificate in Jewish Education for Adolescents and Emerging Adults is a year-long program offers individuals the chance to study topics critical to working with youth, teens, and young adults.
Barak Malkin, a member of the inaugural cohort of the Certificate Program and youth advisor at Temple Emanu-El, Edison, NJ, was asked to lead his congregation's "Spiritual Sharing" service on Yom Kippur.
"Last year I was given an incredible opportunity when I was chosen off of the wait list for the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion's new certificate program in Jewish Education. A year later, I have completed all of the courses, graduated from the program, and received a Certificate in Jewish Education for Adolescent and Emerging Adults. I don't think that HUC-JIR realized it, but the material we learned would be just a small part of what made the program so wonderful." Read more.
Heather Paul, a member of the second cohort of the Certificate Program and Jewish Life Associate/Director of Camp Kesem at Hillel at Stanford, shares her experience as a Hillel professional taking part in the program.
"My introduction to HUC-JIR opened in a very Jewish way: with a question. 'How can we, as Jews, be a part of and apart from American culture? That's a rhetorical question right now, but I want you to start today, and then work on answering it for the rest of your life.' We laughed, but the asker, Rabbi Tali Zelkowicz, Ph.D., was right." Read more.

Founded in 1875, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion is North America's first institution of higher Jewish education and the academic, spiritual, and professional leadership development center of Reform Judaism. HUC-JIR educates men and women for service to North American and world Jewry as rabbis, cantors, educators, and nonprofit management professionals, and offers graduate programs to scholars and clergy of all faiths. With centers of learning in Cincinnati, Jerusalem, Los Angeles, and New York, HUC-JIR's scholarly resources comprise the renowned Klau Library, the American Jewish Archives, research institutes and centers, and academic publications. In partnership with the Union for Reform Judaism and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, HUC-JIR sustains the Reform Movement's congregations and professional and lay leaders. HUC-JIR's campuses invite the community to cultural and educational programs illuminating Jewish heritage and fostering interfaith and multiethnic understanding. www.huc.edu

How To Train For Biathlons
If you want to learn how to train for biathlons you need to be a good skier and a good marksman. The biathlon is two sports in one, as participants ski a cross country course, then stop and shoot at a target at different times during the race. When you train for biathlons, plan on spending a lot of time improving both your skiing and your shooting if you want to be a top competitor.
To train for biathlons you will need:
- Rifle
- Ski equipment
- Weights
- Work on your cardio to train for biathlons. The biathlon is a very tiring race to compete in, so you have to be in good physical condition. Do a lot of long distance running or bicycle riding to increase your leg strength and cardio fitness. Do some sprinting too, so you can build up your speed.
- Improve your strength when you train for biathlons. The stronger you are, the better your chances for doing well in a biathlon race. Work on your upper body and lower body strength by lifting weights at a gym. Do many different leg exercises, since you need strong legs to do well in the biathlon.
- Practice shooting a rifle to train for biathlons. If you are not a good shot, you lose time for every target that you miss during the race. Go to a shooting range and take your biathlon rifle with you. Spend a lot of time on your aim, so you do not lose a lot of time on the biathlon course.
- Work on your cross country skiing technique. If you are able to ski depending on the time of year, you can also spend some time working on your cardio while practicing your cross country skiing technique. Learn how to conserve your energy when it is time to stop skiing and shoot at a target, so you can bring your heart rate down which makes it easier to hit the target.

This hotel had an amazing view of St. Mary's lake. The morning staff was so kind and friendly. It was amazing to watch her try and have a personal conversation with everyone that came into the breakfast room. Great interaction with the guest.
When we checked in that evenings person was not so happy, we had to wait 6 minutes for a person to come to the counter. She was just not friendly at all and barley said a word.
It was clean.
The price was pretty high for an old hotel without amenities. Also, the bed was uncomfortable and the A/C was very loud even on the lowest setting.
Very nice, clean hotel. Staff was also very friendly.
Very neat and clean!
Very friendly people and very clean.
The beds are quite uncomfortable.
Very clean, good price, great breakfast, easy check-in and check-out.
No conditioner in the room. Not enough tolietries.
Here's why:

Just a really quick post from me about my latest coleslaw obsession. I'm telling ya, I've probably consumed a small head of cabbage myself this way. I've had it instead of my usual tossed mixed veggie salad lately and it's so delicious!!! My kid just likes to see the food processor go wild shredding cabbage ... haha
I use Bobby Flay's coleslaw dressing (modified somewhat).
What can't you get enough of this summer?

Fried Mini Idlis
First off, yes these ARE mini idlis, not fried potatoes!
They make a perfect party food or a snack. And if you have extra idli batter on hand, they are super quick to make too. I made them recently for a picnic and they were a big big hit, even with the kids. You can adjust the seasoning to your palette.
- Steamed mini idlis, already prepared., cut in half.
- couple pinches of cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp urad dal
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 5-6 curry leaves
- 1 tsp (non spicy) california chilli powder
- 2 Tbsp canola oil
- 1/2 onion small dice
- salt to taste
In a sautee pan, first temper the mustard seeds, urad dal and curry leaves in hot oil.
Next, sautee remaining ingredients over medium high heat tossing occasionally . When everything is combined well and the idlis have browned somewhat, remove from heat and serve.

- couple pinches of cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp urad dal
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 5-6 curry leaves
- 1 tsp (non spicy) california chilli powder
- 2 Tbsp canola oil
- 1/2 onion small dice
- salt to taste
In a sautee pan, first temper the mustard seeds, urad dal and curry leaves in hot oil.
Next, sautee remaining ingredients over medium high heat tossing occasionally . When everything is combined well and the idlis have browned somewhat, remove from heat and serve.

Spicy Creamy Dip (with a twist)
Here is a super easy yet crowd pleasing dip for a party or a potluck. My husband came up with the combination so he definitely gets all the credit. It's so easy no recipe is needed. It's mayo free, so perfect for summer BBQs! In fact ,it will make a great spread ON your burger!
Mix together the following and chill in the fridge until it's time to serve.
- 1/2 cup jalapeno cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2-3 Tbsp hot salsa
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped sundried tomato
Season with salt if needed.
Serve as a dip for crudite or tortilla/pita chips.

Veg Hakka Noodles
Hakka noddles is that popular Indo-Chinese stirfried noodle dish with a spicy kick. I maake it often enough when I have most of the ingredients. You can be relatively flexible with the combination of veggies but you almost definitely need cabbage, scallions, bok choy and .. yes, mushrooms!! It comes out real easy and only takes a few minutes to prepare. You can easily substitute angel hair pasta if you don't have the actual hakka noodles.
Spice mixture for the sauce: Soy sauce, grated ginger and garlic, rice wine vinegar, tomato paste, black pepper, sesame oil, chilli flakes. In a pinch you could add Sriracha sauce and leave out the chilli and garlic individual ingredients.
I don't have exact measurements, I sort of winged it that day. :) Sautee all the vegetables on medium-high heat and then add sauce mixture and toss with cooked noodles. Top with fresh sprouts if you have them on hand.

Vegetable Chutney
I am probably the worlds biggest fan of chutneys and thogayals. They are super easy to whip up and are so forgiving.. any vegetable combination usually can work. This particular one has chayote, roasted red pepper, tomatoes and onion.
Start off by sauteeing veggies over a fairly high heat. You want a bit of char on the veggies as char=flavour. Add in your seasonings like channa dal, urad dal, salt, red chillies, a bit of garlic if you so incline. Add a couple spoons of puli (tamarind paste) I have a homemade thogayal podi made by my mother in law that I use for things like this. SAutee everything for 10 minutes .. move the veggies around the pan often so they don't totally burn. Alternately you could broil veggies in the oven and then blend but I like this method better.
Once everything is semi cooked, transfer to a blender and puree till smooth or semi-smooth. Peanuts are a great addition and gives good body to the chutney. Garnish with scallions and a tadka of curry leaves, urad dal and mustard seeds.
It goes great wtih rice, chappatis or dosa and you get your veggies in. Make it spicy and it will stay for upto a week.

Asian Noodle Soup
I love soups.
Even more so now because it means the little guy can eat it too! They are warm, and can be turned into a one pot meal. This Asian Noodle soup started out by me wanting to make Pho. Somewhere along the way, I couldn't follow the recipe for Pho and it ended up as a noodle soup. Pretty easy but calls for a bunch of ingredients. But it's really yummy and warming on a Fall or Winter day.
1 T ginger grated
2 cloves garlic minced
Veggies- all chopped about the same size- bok choy, zucchini, carrots, celery, green peas, carrots, baby corn, scallions (chopped fine)
1 cup cooked soba or buckwheat noodles
1Tbsp Soy sauce
Sriracha (As much or as little)...I did a few squirts
1tsp rice wine vinegar
2tsp sesame oil
4 cups low sodium veggie broth
1/2 block tofu cubed.
1. Stirfry all veggies and tofu with ginger and garlic and the sesame oil on high heat for 3-4 minutes.. Try and get a nice char on them because char = flavour. Reserve a few scallions for garnish.
2. Add the stock (or water) along with the soy sauce, sriracha. YOu could also add a whole piece of ginger for that extra ginger flavour and then take it out when soup is done cooking.
3. Let it simmer for 10 minutes on low and then add the cooked noodles.
4. Garnish with scallions and some bean sprouts (I didn't have any sprouts so left them out).

Semiya Payasam
Anyone who knows me well knows that I don't have much of a sweet tooth. I will eat a few select milk based sweets and the occassional cake type dessert.
This is a traditional South Indian milk based dessert that's really easy to make and taste so good. To maximize taste and texture, use whole milk and some evaporated milk. Half and half is even better if you're not very calorie conscious. It takes only 20 minutes or so and you can sweeten is as much as you'd like. Here's my loosey goosey recipe:
- 1/2 cup dried semiya/vermicelli noodles
- 2 Tbsp clarified butter (ghee)
- 4 cups of whole milk
- 1/2 can of 2% evaporated milk (4oz)
- 1/4 cup sugar (or more)
- 6 strands of saffron
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1. In a saucepan, roast the vermicelli noodles in the clarified butter for 5-10 minutes on low medium heat until the noodles turn slightly brown
2. Add the milk and evaporated milk and saffron to the pan and gently bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and then add the sugar and mix.
3. Once noodles are cooked, turn off the heat and add vanilla. This is my own twist on the payasam. I've been critiqued a couple times saying it tastes like "cookies" but whatever. I like it and the little dude digs it too.
4. Pour yourself a bowl and enjoy. It tastes best when consumed warm. I once made a huge batch for a party and then actually forgot to serve it for dessert (imagine that..) No REALLY. I FORGOT. It was entirely unintentional. R, Lil D and I proceeded to have it for breakfast for 3 days straight. Not a bad thing. :)

OTT & Tyndall helps GRASP launch out of the starting blocks
- 31 Oct 2014
Minister for Skills, Research and Innovation Damien English T.D., has launched a high-tech spinout, GRASP Wearable Technologies. Its first market-ready offering will measure running biomechanics.
Using sophisticated algorithms, GRASP will be able to provide an instantaneous three dimensional profile about a user's stride length, vertical lift and impact. This information can be used to draw informed conclusions about a user's performance and efficiency, and can be applied to improving an athlete's running technique and helping avoid injury, to analysing real-time player and team position and movement patterns in team sports.

Kingfield Stadium
View of the Leslie Gosden Stand
|Full name
|Kingfield Stadium
|Woking, Surrey
|Chris Ingram
|Woking F.C.
|Field size
|109 x 76 yards
|Woking F.C. (1922–present)
Hayes & Yeading United (2011–2014)
Kingfield Stadium is the home of Woking F.C. It is situated in the Kingfield area of Woking, Surrey. The stadium has a capacity of 6,036 of which 2,500 are seated. The main stand, called the Leslie Gosden Stand, is much higher than the rest of the ground and towers above the other stands. The stand is entirely covered seating. Opposite this stand is the Kingfield Road End, which is a covered terrace. One side of the ground has two small seated stands and a small open terrace known as "moaners' corner". The other side is a long open terrace, called The Chris Lane Terrace, which is reserved for away fans when a match requires crowd segregation but can be used by anybody when there is no segregation in place. Above the Chris Lane Terrace there is a camera tower where the highlights are filmed from.
As well as hosting Woking F.C. games, matches have also been played at Kingfield by the English National Game XI and the England women's U17 team.[1] The ground also hosted an FA Women's cup semi-final in 2014.[2]
The record official attendance at the ground is 7,020 for the FA Amateur Cup match between Woking and Finchley in the 1957-58 season. Unofficial reports suggest as many as 8,100 were present when Woking played Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup 1st Round on November 27, 1926 but the official attendance that day is recorded as 5,593.
Hayes & Yeading shared the use of the stadium for three seasons; 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14.
All time highest attendance 7,020 v Finchley, FA Amateur Cup.

how to share bedrooms in blended family
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 04-05-2013 - 3:51pm
Well, as I type this, I wonder if maybe it should have gone under blended families but, since it may be a HUGE issue for my marraige, I'm posting it here.
This is second marraige for DH and myself. We are almost to the 3yr mark. My son and I moved from our home town, where he was born and raised to DH house. It was tough for my son initially (and I suspect in some ways still is). Fortunately, we were able to give all the kids their own bedrooms initially (we gave up a hobby room) eventhough SD and SS are only here 50% of the time. However, it looks like we may be downsizing homes and 2 kids may have to room together. I know to most people (DH included) it makes more sense for the boys (13/15) to room together but I disagree. SKs share a room at their mom's and always have so it wouldn't be a new thing for them. My son however is the oldest, has always had his own room, already "took a hit" to move here, and demonstrates a HIGH need for personal space (SKs do not, they tend to be more "clingy" to us). The 2 boys shared a room for a year when a relative lived with us and oldest hated it...they are VERY different kinds of kids one too mature for his age and the other immature for his age so not as close as we had hoped. DH still thinks the boys should share or we will have to turn a "living space" into bedroom space for another kid. We are already downsizing so losing additional living space is not an option for me. I feel we lose 1 bedroom and living space 100% of the time for SK's who are here 50%. I'd like to see SK share (most likey the biggest room). Am I being unreasonable?
|Sat, 04-06-2013 - 10:56am
I tend to agree that if SKs already share a room at their other home and are used to it, it shouldn't be that big a deal and that the kid who is there all the time (if he is) should have his own room. My kids would only sleep at their dad's EO Sat. night and they shared a room there, even though they are boy/girl with 6 1/2 yrs age difference and they had their own rooms at home. There just wasn't another bedroom and their DSS who lived there all the time had her own room.
|Sat, 04-06-2013 - 8:39pm
|Mon, 04-08-2013 - 1:15pm
Boy, this could go either way. I am torn on this one.
1. Should the oldest get their own room?
2. Should boys and girls be separated?
3. Should the full-time child get their own room?
4. Do part-time children "deserve" their own room?
Ugh! My instinct is yes, the male/female siblings should not be sharing a room. But, one could argue that it is a cultural thing, and maybe to some it isn't that big of a deal.
My DD13 shared not only a room, but a queen size bed with her Step-sister 12. SS was full-time and my DD 50%.
Sorry, I am just torn. The good part is that none of this is permanent. It is not like you can't try it one way and then change it, KWIM? Good luck and let us know what happens!
|Mon, 04-08-2013 - 1:25pm
Thanks for your perspective ladies.
I have talked to my son, rather...he has talked to me. He expressed that he hated sharing a room with SB when he had to. He felt like SB followed him around and he had no place to "get away from him". SS is VERY quiet and reserved and son is VERY outgoing. SS tends to stare at my son which drives my son crazy. I think he does these things because he had no real contact with other kids other than at school prior to my son and maybe looks up to son. Son and I have talked many times and he has tried to take SS under his wing so to speak but it really hasn't changed things as SS isn't able to hold up his end of the relationship so to speak. DH and I talked...argued....talked. I think we both understand now this is a non-negotiable for me...and while he isn't happy (doesnt' necesarrily agree), seems we will be able to work it out.
|Mon, 04-08-2013 - 1:38pm
Again, remember it doesn't have to be permanent.
Sounds like your DH is at least willing to hear your side, which is a good thing. I hope the younger two are okay sharing a room like they do at their moms.
This won't be forever, as your DS will potentially either move out, or maybe live on a college campus. I hope you stick around and keep posting! Remember that our posts help those who lurk, too.
|Mon, 04-08-2013 - 2:49pm
Thanks Serenity. I've been absent a while because I had so much trouble logging in after the change. I missed the support so finally had to create a new account in attempt to return...thank gawd it worked! I just wish more people posted.
|Mon, 04-08-2013 - 8:10pm
He felt like SB followed him around and he had no place to "get away from him".
If I were in your shoes, I'd advocate for my son's own room also.
a. The SK's already share at moms'
b. My son didnt ask to blend families.......I would honestly do all I can to give him a little space.
Glad your DH is semi-agreeable, anyhow :)
ALSO...(FWIW also).......re: "nothing permanent".....with my kids, I had them rotate every 6 months....(3 kids/2 rooms---so each would have 6 months out of 18 months a room by themselves)---------but, they were all the same sex.

Hi Vegas!
Do I understand correctly that you currently have your own two children at your home, and your SO is moving in with his 4 children?
Unfortunately, I can't read your post as I am typing this. I have to use Chrome at work to be able to post on the boards, but it has lots of quirks.
Unless you want your teenager to have their own entrance, I am guessing the 5 year old would be in that room. Unless you do some remodeling, but the exterior room you are describing sound like it could be perfect for your kids they start college.
So, are their 4 bedroom PLUS a master bedroom, for a total of 5 bedrooms (including the exterior room)?

15 lbs or less??
Hi I am a 21 5' 6" year old female Physician Assistant student who started weighing 144, my boyfriend has his masters in clinical exercise physiology and has promoted the low carb life style to me on many occasions. A month ago I started low carb and LOVED it but only thought of it as a temporary fix... and got really tired. This time around I was focused and determined to lose weight and feel good. Its been 13 days since i started low carb by low carb I mean 20 carbs or less, I REALLY aim for this but I'm a college senior who likes to drink so I've drinked a couple of nights vodka tonics of course. I have not weighed myself only because my scale is not here but I FEEL GREAT! my tight clothes are loose! and I have confidene and Ive never felt better! Is there anyone else on here who is only losing 15 or less? I read these all the time and I'm happy t finally have a voice in it.
I'm at the 15 pounds or less stage now too pretty much, so you're definitely not alone :) I'm doing under 20 total carbs per day as well oddly enough... though I'm not sure if your 20 carbs are net or total. I follow NK, so I don't deduct fiber.
My 150 goal isn't necessarily my end goal, but I think I'll probably settle with somewhere between 140-150 once I start toning and adding a bit of muscle in place of this body fat I've still got to get rid of. I used to think I'd lose an additional 20 from my first goal and stick around 130 but with a larger framed body I don't think that's really feasible if I want to have any muscle mass at all... I'd probably be bones with some skin hanging off of it at that point :laugh:
Welcome to the forums! :welcome:
Hi!! Great to have you join us!!
I'm also fighting to lose just 5-10 lbs and really tone up. Its not easy to lose those last few lbs! I have to really watch portion sizes (I do that because I would go insane if I had to count calories for every single thing)
I have less than 5 til goal. Waaaay harder at this point...feels like I will never get there :). I agree with you Strawberry...have to be super focused on portion control and calories (I do count them but am sick of it:stars:).
Sounds like all is going well and you are being successful!
I am at the 10-15 pound mark myself! Have been for months but I have made working out/running my new goal so even though the scale is not going down I am losing inches and toning big time. I have my weight goal set at 125 but that just might not be in the cards....I made it to 134 but then started working out and have gone up to 139! I am starying to cut calories but it is hard when I am working out.
I'm somewhere around 3 to 5lbs from goal. I have some really stubborn fat deposits which are what I am working on losing right now. The rules seem definitely different when you get closer to goal. Welcome to the forum.
Hi all! thanks for all the responses :) I am a yoyo dieter, by that I don't really gain much maybe tops 148 and low 138. I love the gym, I work out 5 times a week on average, however as mentioned above I'm in Physician Assistant school and its stressful and long hours. Therefore, the gym and I aren't always together. Needless to say this week I think I'm going to get back into the gym I can usually do 40 min+ of cardio, so hopefully that will boost my weight loss. I constantly diet then stop, this time I REALLY want to lose those pounds for good, my goal weight is 130.. so hopefully i get there :) So happy I found this forum :)
I don't drink myself and I am not a big fan of it if you are trying to lose weight but google for zero carb alcohol and you can have some drinks guilt free, or almost guilt free, on the carb side of things.
I have just a few moew pounds to go but take it day by day and keep doing what I have done for the last 12 years. Reaching some magical number at this point is not going to change my life. What changes is my attidtude toward the number. It is not me. I am much more than that. I feel great and if I lose more...super...and if not...no sweat. I am not changing my foods anymore. I get some exercise, have a job I love, lost all my weight while starting and going through menopause with no excuses. Turned 65 this year and am celebrating with a face and neck lift! No alcohol for this gal! Who needs it to numb the feelings of what life is all about! I get to see my grandkids in a couple months and lookin forward to it. I have a life today!
My weight loss goal was 20 lbs. It took me about 6 mos. It seemed very slow at times, but the weight steadily came off. I have stayed within 5 lbs of that goal for almost 2 yrs now. I have to stay around 20g carbs/day to maintain it. I have been a yoyo dieter all my life too. LC has been the only thing that has worked for me.

After repeated rumors that this strain suffered extinction thanks to a secretive breeder, enough sightings occur regularly to ensure that while rare, the Asian Fantasy strain does still exist. Its genetics, however, remain a mystery. What's clear is that this strain has a healthy dose of sativa in it that will get ideas and creativity flowing. It's also a beauty, with large, curled buds that have a covering of brick red hairs. The flowers emit a sweet and sour fragrance while the taste has a healthy dose of spice.

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

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico -- Gunmen have killed a mother protesting in front
of the governor's office in northern Mexico to demand justice for her
slain daughter.
State prosecutor Jorge Gonzalez says the three masked men pulled up in a
car and shot Marisela Escobedo Ortiz.
Escobedo had been protesting for three days in front of the governor's
palace in Chihuahua. She had been campaigning for justice in the killing
of her teenage daughter since a judge exonerated the main suspect in
Seventeen-year-old Rubi Frayre Escobedo's body was found dismembered and
burned in 2008. Her live-in boyfriend had been charged with her murder.
Gonzalez said Friday that Escobedo was killed Thursday night.

Question About Updating Kitchen
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 01-24-2013 - 4:43pm
I was wondering if you guys could give me your opinons about what I should do with regard to my kitchen.
My home is an older (built in 1872) "character" home in a small rural community. I want to sell it (and had it on the market for approximately 18 months prior taking it off the market to refi. I will be listing it again soon. The local housing market has been very down for several years, and is now starting to see some recovery in the lower priced homes - which, hopefully means the higher priced homes will be selling again soon.) It has been substantially renovated with a complete kitchen overhaul approximately 12 years ago.
Now my wall oven is dead.
My appliances and counters are white, and they match the originally painted pine trim and white radiators in the room.
The replacement price for a white wall oven is in the $1200 range.
But I wonder if anyone thinking of buying the home would want to upgrade to stainless ('cause it seems like EVERYONE thinks stainless is the ONLY way to go).
I don't want to upgrade everything to stainless, but I could . . . if it might help to sell the home.
But . . . I wonder if any potential buyer would want their own preferences in the kitchen (and upgrade the appliance to their own tastes)? Perhaps any potential buyer wouldn't so much care if the wall oven worked (there is another range/oven to use) since they would want to replace all the appliances and perhaps even the counters and floor.
Let me say that I would think anyone interested in buying a home this age isn't the type of person necessarily expecting a complete, move in ready home. I suspect these sorts of buyers are ready to roll up their sleeves and make some changes (though I could be wrong). Our home is period appropriate which includes wood siding, etc . . . Potential buyers will (I certainly hope) understand that there is work involved in maintaining an older home.
(My H did a wonderful job with the kitchen upgrade, even moving out a few load bearing walls to enlarge it. People RAVE about the kitchen, but also there are many people who are suprised we haven't "upgraded" to stainless steel yet.)
If I were staying, I personally would stick with a white wall oven (at least for the time being until I could afford to fully update the roome again).
So do you think I should buy a new white oven, no oven at all (since there is another one to use), update all the kitchen appliances?????
I'd appreciate any insights.
Thanks so much for reading this post!

I am going to build a house and have no plans for stainless. Don't like it. Go with the white I say. You won't get your money out of it and if its not your thing, its not worth it. Good luck in selling!

I don't have a qualified answer for you, just my opinion.
I don't know that stainless is something a house MUST have. Acutally, isn't stainless kind of a pain with fingerprints and all that? I only have one stainless piece on my counter and I have no desire to have any more. It just seems to be high maintenance. I have a GF who said she wishes she had never got her stainless refridgerator.
Plus, with the age of your house, I wouldn't think people would expect stainless. I could be wrong.
As far as the wall oven, I don't think I would rush out and spend that kind of money on a new one unless it is something you currently use now, and has nothing to do with what a potential buyer may, or may not want. If you want a new one, or need a new one, or will use a new one, then go right ahead and get one that matches what you have and plan on keeping.
If you don't need the wall oven, or don't really use it, or don't really care either way, then maybe wait on the purchase and have an allowance for that (or however that works when you sell a house with things you know a new owner will need to fix or replace).
I just know you have to be careful with all of the ideas real estate agents throw out at you that will help your house sell. They might be right, but I think you have to decice where that line is for you personally. I mean, would you REALLY make a profit above the $1,200 cost? I don't know. No way to truly know.
So, if you use it now, then get it. If not, then maybe wait.
