what the he -- is jasmine?
At 11:44 AM -0400 8/25/07, George wrote: >Okay girls and guys, what the he-- does jasmine smell and taste like???????? I have searched both SM's site for about 10 minutes or more and the Internet for probably over 45 minutes on jasmine, jasmine flavor, jasmine taste, etc, etc. All I get are listings of dozens of pages on it's use as a flower in weddings, what properties it has for women in Japan, pages and pages on jasmine in tea, and the list goes on and on. Even went to Websters dictionary, online encyclopedias, etc, etc and nothing but uses, NOT A THING ON TASTE. I did visit over a hundred sites that listed jasmine and no results for the smell or taste of it. Tom seems to mention jasmine with sage and other herbs/spices. For all I know it could taste like baby kaka. >So, what is the taste and smell of jasmine. >George Its a very good question: I try to distinguish between jasmine tea and jasmine flower sometimes, but fail to do it often enough. Those are the 2 most meaningful definitions to me. But in fact, at my house i have pink jasmine and a white jasmine and they are different (my night-blooming jasmine failed to grow but that too is a bit different). All offer strong, permeating floral notes. Yirgacheffes often have the most clear-cut jasmine notes of any coffee, but sometimes I refer to it when it is a very mild floral note, not based on the intensity or amount of it, but the quality - i tried to clarify that issue in my Flavor Quality Analysis spider-graphs. I'll also use honeysuckle, and sometimes hibiscus, but don't often use rose anymore since that's a huge variation in aromas, and I don't know enough to specify WHAT rose. Frankly, sometimes getting too specific in descriptions can hinder what i am trying to communicate, and just doesn't work --- i.e. it's the wet aroma of the flowers from recently dried coriander at 3pm on Sunday. Okay, that's a bad example, but there is a LOT left yet-to-be-described in the coffee reviews so you, the taster, can fill in the blanks. I like to (usually) go beyond saying something is simply 'floral' but don't want to kill all the fun of discovery by being overly specific (if I am even able to). I hope, at some point, you might notice that I try to keep it real, to keep descriptors firmly attached to things that you smell and taste, and avoid analogies like "this is the little black dress of coffees," or this is "coffee for the x-games", or "this is the honda accord of coffee". I have heard all these used before, and i guess they DO describe something most people understand, but when you start down that path there is no return ... it becomes an easy escape from really trying to attach coffee experiences to other true sensory experiences. - Tom
5 big ones
Again, many coffees are arriving at once, and I am trying to get packed for my flight to the
Roaster's Guild Retreat
tomorrow at 6:30 am. Oh well. Here they are, each one a gem in their own right. Please read the full reviews and check out the Coffee Flavor Analysis charts for each of these!
Guatemala Chimeltenango - San José Ocaña
- offered last year as "Blue Quetzal", this stunning Guat. is back, name-correct.
Honduras FTO San Marcos -Cocosam Coop
- Bright, lively, crisp cup profile with medium-light body. Best Hondo. of the season.
Brazil Cachoeira da Grama Yellow Bourbon
- Our favorite, the classic cultivar and nuanced cup.
Sumatra Blue Batak "Tarbarita" Peaberry
- Again this year we have the Peaberries from the vibrant Blue Batak designation.
Sumatra Organic Gayo Mountain Special
- A special prep lot from Aceh province, and the best cup I have ever had from this mill.
east africa & west africa
We have two new African arrivals. Another great East African lot from the Main Crop auctions;
Kenya Kirinyaga - Thimu Peaberry
has a deep-toned character (for a Kenya) with berry-like fruited notes and winey hints. And for the first time we have a West African coffee!
Cameroon Caplami Java
is an unusual longberry cultivar, with a cup that has Indonesia-like body, and interesting spice and fruit notes. It's difficult to underscore how odd it is to have a good arabica coffee from West Africa. The French colonies there are known strictly as low-grown, low-grade robusta producers, mainly supplying the French market with bitter dark roasted coffee for Cafe au Lait and such. (Now why would anyone assume the French had a noble coffee tradition?)
time! We received three prize-winning lots: From the 2007 Best of Panama Competition we have the #2 lot,
Panama Auction Lot - Mama Cata Gesha
, my favorite lot with a balanced cup and plenty of floral character from the Gesha cultivar. We tried to buy the
Panama Bambito Estate
coffee for several years, a unique farm that was #2 in last years competition. We had to pay a premium, but we finally got this lot, from an amazing "old growth" farm. Once again we have
Panama Esmeralda Especial - Gesha Cultivar
and it is in fantastic form this year! And the spoiler of
Brazil Organic Fazenda Jacaranda
, with balanced fruit and nut, and a great sinle origin, single farm espresso!

The fans of Attica Raceway Park have spoken and voted the duel between Brian Arnold & Art Ball on May 6th, which saw Arnold victorious as their favorite Dirt Truck moment of the 2011 race season!
That night saw Arnold drive to the lead at the drop of the green from his outside front row starting spot with fourth place starter Art Ball and Dwight Waltermeier in tow. Just as Arnold hit lapped traffic on lap four, the caution would fly for a multi-truck pile-up. On the restart, Ball would drive to Arnold 's inside and the the pair would raced side-by-side for nearly the remainder of the race. Ultimately Arnold would out duel Ball for his only feature win of the season.

Thanksgiving brings a home for Washington woman
Karen Mansfield / Observer-Reporter
Dawn Bennett holds the keys to the new home she purchased through Habitat for Humanity. Bennett became a first-time homeowner at a dedication ceremony Tuesday.

F. Scott Fitzgerald said there are no second acts in American lives.
Fitzgerald never met Dawn Bennett, a former drug addict who fought hard to kick her habit and now counsels Washington County women struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.
This Thanksgiving, Bennett has much to be grateful for: a loving family and boyfriend, a fulfilling job and, thanks to Washington County Habitat for Humanity, the Washington community and Bennett's work ethic, a house.
Bennett became a homeowner when Tony Gacek, Habitat for Humanity executive director, handed her the keys at a Tuesday dedication held at her new home on Arch Street.
Bennett's house is the 48th home Habitat for Humanity has completed in Washington County, and the organization worked hard to make sure it was finished in time for the holiday.
"I'm amazed that my journey in Washington has brought me to this point," said Bennett, who has stayed clean for 8 ½ years. "All the pain and misery I went through in my addiction is for the positive because I can help another woman. I can give her hope that she can have a good life and to stay clean and sober. All of your dreams and goals are achievable if you stay clean and sober."
One of Bennett's dreams was to own a home. That seemed impossible more than a decade ago, when Bennett was hooked on heroin, Xanax, prescription painkillers and alcohol.
A Beechview native, she started smoking marijuana and drinking as a teenager, and spent several years in and out of rehabilation centers.
She was married and working in a beauty salon when she became a victim of physical and emotional abuse, so she left, taking only her clothes.
To support her habit, Bennett would steal clothes from retail stores and sell them to her friends for half price.
"It was really bad. I lost everything and ended up living in my parents' basement," said Bennett, 45. "I had nothing. My dad would cry to my sisters and he'd say he was going to bury me. My family finally said they couldn't watch me kill myself, and I had nowhere to go."
In 2004, she ended up at Avis Arbor women's shelter, the Washington City Mission's haven for homeless women, for five months and successfully completed a drug addiction program. Bennett wanted to help others who were fighting with addiction, so began working with women there. She moved into the one-bedroom apartment she has lived in until she partnered with Habitat, and the former hairdresser now works in the drug and alcohol recovery field.
"I had reached a crossroads when I went to Avis Arbor. They're faith-based, and that was important. I couldn't be where I am today without God and the recovery program," said Bennett, who attends Victory Church, a nondenominational church in Washington. "I've met good people."
Among those good people are the volunteers at Habitat for Humanity, which Bennett heard about from a friend who had worked with the organization to earn a home.
Bennett partnered with Habitat for three years and worked side by side with Habitat staff and volunteers to build her home.
"She's really a hard worker. She took part in every phase of building this house and all of the guys like her a lot," said Matt Simon, a member of Ben's Men, a volunteer group from St. Benedict the Abbott Church in Peters Township, which worked on the house once a week. "It's very satisfying to see her become a homeowner."
Habitat builds simple, affordable homes for its partner families using volunteer workers and monetary and material donations. Habitat sells the homes to the families at cost, with a zero percent interest mortgage, and uses the revenues to support more Habitat homes.
For Bennett's home, Washington Slovenian Savings & Loan donated the property. Also participating in the build were Washington Financial, Peacock Keller, Washington County Redevelopment Authority, Joe Sistek, McMurray Cooling & Heating, Sykes-Scholtz & Collins, Ben's Men, and other groups and individuals.
Mary Ann Simon, a Habitat volunteer and Bennett's family partner, helped Bennett through the building process, including financial management classes.
"Dawn is an exceptional woman. She is sensitive and intelligent," said Simon. "She can get frustrated, but she knows how to deal with frustration. Prayer is an important part of her life. She is going to make many happy memories in this home."
Bennett will spend this Thanksgiving with her family, and move into her home – with her cat, Precious - over the next several days. One of the first items she plans to buy is a Christmas tree.
"It's going to be a beautiful holiday." Said Bennett. "I'm so excited about Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's going to be one to remember. The biggest dream I have for this house is having family and friends coming to visit and spending time. I want to plant a garden in the back yard and plant lots of flowers. God is good."

Ear of Newt's Top 10 Vancouver concerts of 2012
Whether it was a dedicated gaggle of Drive-By Truckers fans taking in the rootsy vibe of Patterson Hood at the Biltmore Cabaret or 40,000-plus peeps getting Fab floored by Paul McCartney at BC Place, Metro Vancouver offered up some mighty fine gigs in 2012. Here's 10 that Ear of Newt got totally psyched about.
Metallica on Aug. 24 at Rogers Arena. "I don't know how Metallica does it, but every time I see them live they manage to sound amazingly clear at incredibly high volume."
Steve Earle on June 8 at the Red Robinson Show Theatre. " 'This one goes out to Dubya and his fucking horse,' announced Earle before ['Little Emperor']..."
Roger Waters on May 26 at BC Place. "Size does matter. Especially when it comes to the music of Pink Floyd."
Patterson Hood on Sept. 29 at the Biltmore Cabaret. " 'Mitt Romney is a c***sucker,' he blurted out at one point in the show, drawing cheers of approval from the beardo-heavy crowd."
The Darkness on Feb. 24 at the Commodore Ballroom. "I've gotta admit, I was not expecting anything nearly as stunning as what the British glam-rockers delivered on the Commodore's hallowed stage."
Joe Walsh on Sept. 8 at Red Robinson Show Theatre. "...I'm not so sure that Rocky Mountain Way really is all that much better than the way we had."
The Tedeschi Trucks Band on June 19 at the Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts. I didn't actually write a review of this concert, just attended it on a pleasure-only basis. Shocking, I know.
Paul McCartney on Nov. 25 at BC Place. "During his marathon three-hour set McCartney performed no fewer than 38 songs, the majority stone-cold Beatles classics. And you know that can't be bad."
Jonny Lang on Sept. 28 at the Red Robinson Show Theatre. "Blues legend Buddy Guy brought a taste of Chicago to the wilds of Coquitlam last night, but the verifiable guitar legend was outshone by a 'kid' 45 years younger than himself."
Neil Young & Crazy Horse on Nov. 11 at Rogers Arena. LIAR ALERT: I didn't actually go this show, but it made my Top 10 anyway because I heard from several reliable sources that it was freakin' awesome. Sue me.
Lots of familiar faces will be here Charlie. Get on the boat.
Paul McCartney was my number 1. Good fucking god! Let Me Roll It sludging into Foxey Lady then entering hyper space. It does not get any better than that!
The Hives put on one of the best live acts I have seen since The Ramones.
Deep Purple back in Feb. blew the roof off of the arena. The organ sound was equal to the sum total of the rest of the band. That was avery good show. They showed the younglings how it is done.
The Wall was a sound and sight spectacular. But even with Roger's deep audio and dazzling video it was no match for a Beatle's put on in the same room.
NoMeansNo back in February was mind boggling as they always are live in a club. That band would scare the shit out of most top notch acts like say...Metallica or the Chili's if they had to follow thse Wright kids on stage. A national treasure those boys.
Finally. Death to all knob twiddling, no talent, wanker D.J.'s and a return of Feldman type circuitous bar bands. The kids these days haven't got a clue what they're missing. Or how they are being cheated out of great memories of their youth.
But we know.
I saw this really awesome performer in a club. I can't remember his name but I think it started with M.C. or Deeee Jay and that cat left me with memories I will cherish forever.
Such knob twiddling, intense headphoning and and...I think he looked up at the crowd, once. WoW!
Paul McCartney, Roger Waters...phhht. Indeed.
They're almost all arena acts!
Where's Bombino, Anna Calvi, Hot Chip ... ??
"you mean "new and interesting" like the gangnam style? not into it"
This comment is exactly why I find most Straight music writers to be condescending, self absorbed culture snobs.
Reader Chris Campbell asked you an honest, straight up question about seeing new and interesting bands at smaller venues, and that is your response ? Gangnam Style ? Really ?
Why is the idea of new artists playing in smaller venues so offensive to you as to ellicit this kind of answer ? Why does this get equated by you as some sort of request of acknowledgement of Gangnam Style ?
Your list of concerts is dominated by etablished artists playing large venues, yet a reader questions this and instead of answering like an adult or a professional, you make some snide comment about a current fad
If you really feel the need to be an insolent jerk to people asking honest questions, why dont you leave it the Payback column (which is really just another excuse for Straight music writers to be condescending elitist culture snobs without the pretense of journalism) and not a very simple question posted on an article that you wrote.
Then again, I could be totally missing the point.
When your "concerts of the year" list is dominated by rock acts in their 50's, 60's and 70's playing the big rooms, you probably dont give a damn about anything new anyways.
Whatever the reason for your intial response, your answer is garbage.

oversized tee
by ALASDAIR
After many failed attempts to find effortless wardrobe staples with a high-fashion aesthetic that would mix seamlessly with other items in her closet, NYC stylist April Johnson began making her own. In 2012, April launched Alasdair- a collection of loose fitting, easily adaptable silhouettes in highly tactile fabrics with artfully draped details. The collection has a predominately neutral color palette but with pops of saturated navy or an intense mustard which are striking without compromising sophistication... "a real New York girl's uniform."

Seamed Ponte Zip Legging
Great fit for curvy girls!
I'm 4'11 about 160 lbs I have a small waist and wide full hips? I initially tried on a L but wasn't comfortable with the bagginess in my butt and thighs. So I tried the M and they fit perfect! The weight if these are perfect for winter/fall! I was greatly pleased and received tons of complements!
March 14, 2013
I loved it but..
I bought the gray one in size large because of my built but I had to return it because it was way too large in the waist area. The color and material were great just not a great fit for a person with large thighs/hips and a small waist.
December 31, 2012
I loved the color and the material but I ordered a size large and had to return it because it was way to big in the waist area.
December 30, 2012
Ok Fit
I'm a size 24-25 and the XS was baggy around my hips and thighs. Did not flatter my figure at all. Maybe if you're curvier this will work for you.
December 3, 2012
Very nice leggings / pants
These are lovely! They are just as pictured. They are well made and feel more like skinny pants than leggings. They can go with anything from sweaters to blouses to t shirts. I absolutely love them.
November 24, 2012
most comfortable, great fit
I love these pants they are super comfortable and exact fit. I ordered size M I usually wear size 6-8.
The material is thick so they are perfect for winter.
I will recommend these

LAFF 2012: 'Talk Score to Me' Explores the Relationship Between Director and Composer
Features By Allison Loring on June 22, 2012 | Comments (1)The "Talk Score to Me: Emerging Filmmakers on Collaborating with Composers" panel at the Los Angeles Film Festival was an interesting concept that brought together up-and-coming filmmakers with the composers who created the original (and affordable) music for their respective short films. ASCAP and Project Involve put together a Composers Workshop that gave these four filmmakers (Erin Li, Mason Richards, Susana Casares, and Aaron Celious) the opportunity to select from eight different composers through a "speed dating session" to decide who they would want to collaborate with on their films. The guideline for their films was "California Stories" that took on the idea of democracy. Each filmmaker took this idea in a different direction with four shorts that each tackled this topic, but in very unique ways. Moderated by composer Art Ford, each director screened their shorts and then took to the stage with their respective composers to explain their different processes and experiences working together.

Who do you think would win in a race between a man and a horse?
Seems obvious doesn't it, but don't be so sure. The annual Man versus Horse Marathon in the small Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells has seen both animal and human winners since it started over 30 years ago. This year's race is on 12 June; place your bets!
The event started when local landlord Gordon Green overheard a discussion between locals in his pub, the Neuadd Arms. One man said that since a horse was neither very good at going up a steep hill, or down one, that over a long distance on the local terrain, man was equal to any horse. Green decided the challenge should be tested and organised the very first Man versus Horse Marathon.
Around 500 runners and 50 horses compete every year. The course is slightly shorter than a normal marathon at 22 miles, but it's over rougher terrain – including marsh, mountain and bog. The race attracts hundreds of spectators to this usually quiet Welsh spa town and has become one of the UK's favourite bizarre events.
It's always been a very close call at the finish line between man and horse - sometimes with just seconds in it. It took 25 years before the first man finally beat a horse when Huw Lobb won in 2hrs and 5mins beating the fastest horse by 2 minutes, but since then there have been a number of winners of the 'human' side.
Llanwrtyd Wells is also home to another favourite bizarre event, the annual Bog Snorkelling Championships, which involves competitors racing through the famous (and very muddy) Waen Rhydd Bog.
So when you're in Britain, come and see what might just be our strangest races – or why not take part yourself?
To run: £18 per individual £54 per relay team | To ride horse: £25 per horse and rider
See Green Events website for more information.

I have a bunch of auto-records setup including one for "Agatha Christie". It caught some stuff on Cinemoi that my wife enjoyed (even in SD).
I took a peek at Cinemoi the other day, and it said it was 720. It looked like very HQ SD or somewhat poor HD.... So, I dunno what it broadcasts.

Man, for all you "theme" solo players out there, get ready for a brutal quest -- the threat gain is just unreal. The trolls are nasty. The "sack" deck is worse. I've tried this quest a few times with no success. So much damage, so much threat gain. I'm not ready to declare it unplayable solo, but it definitely requires a well-tailored deck.
And forget only having characters that were alive at the time of The Hobbit. haha.

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.

China Prepares for the U.S. Re-Engagement in Asia
TIM SLOAN/AFP/Getty Images
U.S. President Barack Obama (R) and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao at U.N.
China has been carefully monitoring the U.S. strategy for re-engagement
in the Asia-Pacific region and understands the challenges its own
regional strategies now face. The possibility of a new power balance
will test both China's ability to achieve its long-term goals and its
relations with countries on its periphery.
U.S. President Barack Obama is set to visit Australia and Indonesia
later in November after months of diplomatic efforts aimed at improving
perceptions of the U.S. commitment to the Asia-Pacific region, largely
to counter growing Chinese power. This is coming as maritime security
issues have begun to dominate regional affairs, with China taking a
particularly aggressive stance in the South China Sea. Part of the U.S.
re-engagement includes the intent to reshape the East Asia Summit (EAS)
into a U.S.-led regional security institution. This year's EAS, set for
Nov. 18-19 in Bali, will thus serve as a gauge for Washington to
demonstrate its commitment to Asia-Pacific maritime security affairs.
Beijing, which has been carefully developing its strategy for Southeast
Asia over the past two decades, understands the challenges posed to it
by the United States' re-entry into the region, particularly to its
South China Sea plans. The possibility of a new power balance will test
both China's ability to achieve its long-term goals and its relations
with countries on its periphery.
China's rapidly expanding economic influence in past years has enabled
it to improve relations with neighboring states and gradually take a
leading role in Southeast Asia, turning it into a testing ground for its
strategy of soft-power diplomacy in an important sphere of influence.
Beijing's strategy largely has been based on economic cooperation, such
as Chinese investment and aid to individual countries and increased
trade through bilateral arrangements and regional mechanisms. One
example of this is the free trade area that went into effect between
China and members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN),
the most extensive set of trade and investment agreements between the
two. As Southeast Asia is one of the few regions that generally marks
trade surpluses with China, Beijing has attempted to convince ASEAN
countries that they will benefit from China's economic growth with its
economic clout. China has been making progress with a charm offensive in
the region, building political and security influence that has been
facilitated by high-level military visits and arms sales, a longstanding
policy of noninterference in other countries' internal affairs, and,
notably, a decadelong period of relative neglect by the United States.
Beijing has used this leverage to gain an advantage in the South China
Sea. It has raised its profile in regional security facilities, such as
the EAS and ASEAN Defense Ministers Meetings, and cultivated relations
with mainland ASEAN countries, such as Laos and Cambodia, to prevent
maritime disputes from gaining prominence in these regional
organizations. It also has begun bilateral negotiations over maritime
issues such as energy exploration, shunning third-party involvement and
dealing with individual countries to prevent them from adopting a
unified stance.
However, China's increasingly aggressive moves to stake its maritime
claim have shifted Asian perceptions, leading to growing tensions
between China and other claimant countries such as Vietnam and the
Philippines. The rapid modernization of the Chinese military and the
expansion of its blue-water strategy - especially its aggressive moves
in the South China Sea since the beginning of 2011 - also have caused
disquiet among China's Southeast Asian neighbors. These countries have
both begun to cooperate regionally to counter Beijing's dominance in the
South China Sea and call for outside powers, particularly the United
States, to do the same.
With Washington's renewed interest in the region, Beijing sees
considerable uncertainty in its maritime and Southeast Asia strategies.
In particular, China expects the upcoming EAS to officially
institutionalize a multilateral mechanism to address South China Sea
issues - running directly counter to its attempts to deal with these
issues bilaterally. However, direct confrontation between China and the
United States would come at the expense of both China's domestic
situation and regional stability. Moreover, the United States' physical
distance from the region, as well as heavy U.S.-Chinese economic and
political interactions in other areas, means that both sides have more
reasons to cooperate than they do to press their agendas for the South
China Sea.
Meanwhile, Beijing has seen the need to adopt proactive diplomatic
efforts, such as enhancing traditional economic ties with ASEAN
countries and indicating that it would be open to leading regional
discussion forums for negotiating South China Sea issues. Such gestures
may be appealing to Southeast Asian claimant countries; no matter how
far the United States goes to re-engage in the region, these countries'
economic futures will be inextricably linked to China. China has
proposed a set of principles that would govern future EAS discussions,
called the Declaration of the East Asia Summit on the Principles of
Mutually Beneficial Relations. In it, China calls for an integrated East
Asian community and enhanced Chinese-ASEAN interdependence through
economic ties.
At the same time, as the United States' Asia-Pacific strategy becomes
clearer, it provides an opportunity for Beijing to clarify its role in
regional strategic affairs, and particularly to remedy the increasing
disunity between its economic strategy and security strategy. As part of
this, the United States' stated intention of leading the EAS means China
likely will try to support ASEAN as the premier regional bloc, something
that ASEAN countries likely will be interested in as they try to avoid
being hostages for either side in the increasing U.S.-Chinese
It remains to be seen whether the U.S. plan for Asia-Pacific
re-engagement will shift the balance of power in the region.
Nonetheless, China will need to take a much more active stance to
maintain its position.

Sport is an important part of overall fitness, this is just one component. To maintain a healthy and fit lifestyle, need to do different things. Diet, exercise routines and habits related to overall health. Important factors that should be done when the fitness center is setting dietary patterns. The next thing to do is to exercise regularly. Most people who choose fitness as a healthy lifestyle are the ones who have an active lifestyle. However, strenuous exercise performed daily to reach your fitness goals faster than live a lifestyle like this. Be more aggressive like Adrian Peterson at here.
Frequently Fitness training not accompanied by fitness knowledge, not only has a beautiful body, but in fact only got fatigue and tired body. As someone who wants to visit a street, should definitely know the way, if that person does not know he will get lost.
Here is proper way of fitness that you should consider before practicing:
- Perform overall look in terms of fitness centers that have a complete tool for the entire body so you are required to train all the muscles of your body do as scheduled for 5-6 months. Try not to have your arms and chest muscles are athletic but your feet are not in accordance with the upper body. If imaginable will definitely look funny, because the upper part of the body is stout but the lower body look stocky.
- Do it gradually, calculate the load and start of lightweights. Avoid using heavy loads directly, because it is very dangerous to your muscles, so starting from lightweights and then gradually to a heavier load. Most likely if you use direct load weight, chances are you will sprain.
- Use the proper way by using the tools and load as needed, do not force your muscles through a load that is too heavy to excess. This could cause injury to your muscles.
- Gradually do more and more in terms of increasing the load and the more strenuous exercise, for example, the first set did 15 times using a 5 kg load then you rest your muscles after it started again with 10 times using a weight of 7 kg and so on.
- Cardio take your time to this at least 30 minutes in treadmill 2 times a week doing cardio to help burn fat and good for heart health and balance to your fitness.
- Diet even if you have to exercise regularly in your diet is not known, but certainly you do not exercise will provide maximum results so watch what you eat stay away from high carbohydrate foods containing high levels of sugar and fried food.
- Do the healthy lifestyle to make your body healthy and strong.
Perhaps the only way the True Fitness Exercises you need to pay attention, though it seems trivial, but it was very influential success or failure of your doing fitness.
Keep the spirit, doing fitness as possible, until you feel the results. A healthy and strong Body. Reminder: Get more health tips at health.com or fitness tips at mensfitness.com

America's heritage as a nation of immigrants is a source of tremendous economic strength, and current research confirms that immigrants who have been attracted to the U.S. for its pro-growth culture and excellent universities often stay and create valuable, fast-growing startup firms. High-skill immigrants in particular have two significant positive impacts on growth – first as critical engineering and science talent at U.S. companies and second as potential entrepreneurs of new U.S.-based companies. Despite the nearly universal bi-partisan support for high-skill immigration, the existing system of immigration into the U.S. has become a disaster. Visas and green cards are bureaucratic, the number of high-skill migrants to the U.S. is capped at an artificially low level, and security laws have made travel to the U.S. after 9/11 difficult. America now risks losing its attraction as a "brain magnet" in contrast to other nations that are reforming in order to compete for the critical resource known as human capital.

love matt hughes. i don't get to see ufc since it got taken off free channels in uk, but some seriously hot men fight
love matt hughes. i don't get to see ufc since it got taken off free channels in uk, but some seriously hot men fight
^^ To me he'd be perfect if it weren't for that ugly chin of his.
benson henderson.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
That's one of the hottest sports in the world for me, I wanna have boyfriend who fights! No love for that Benson Henderson you posted though .
George St. Pierre all the way!
"Your life is yours alone. Rise up and live it."
Richard Rahl
Yep! Anyone watching the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter? Mike Ricci, who's in the final two, is one of the hottest guys in the house. He's such a pretty boy and there are a lot of scenes in the house where you could see him bulging through his boxer briefs. I'd post photos but I'm lazy right now lol.
Guys in the UFC are hot, and so is the guy in whydatkine's avatar!
wow he is stunning
so many hot guys though living in GB i don't see so much anymore. i still lust after franklin, gsp, belfort - i could go on. Ultimate Fighter got gayer as the series went on with more and more shots of the guys strutting in round in nearly naked in the house, gutted it's not on over here.
Mike Ricci, the Canadian pretty boy.
Last edited by whydatkine; December 9th, 2012 at 05:24 PM.
He IS.
mike looks like he has a lot to be 'cocky' about
Wow...can't believe I haven't watched a single ep of TUF this season. I dunno...got a somewhat irrational hatred for Roy Nelson, but last season just didn't feel the same after the jump to FX. Cruickshank was a hottie. I liked Chisea and Iaquinta too. Tickle too. Lol, now that I think of it, I think the one saving grace for me with last season, was that there seemed to be slightly more hot boys than usual lol.
It's real. He used the name Travis Michaels and did one solo scene for Randy Blue.
Still can't put my finger on exactly what it is about him--but Forrest Griffin's still my biggest UFC crush. He just drives me fucking crazy!!!
Wassup rashad wats shakin
rashad: Nthn but ass
Mike Ricci is most handsome metro-sexual UFC has ever seen. The boy looks too delicate to get bruised in fights. I love that he is comfortable in his own skin around the hyper masculine atmosphere that he is in. He is what you can refer to as "don't judge the book by its cover." Too bad he has a girlfriend.
I know technically he's not in the UFC anymore, but does anyone else think Brock Lesnar is hot?!
Brock is way bigger than what I normally go for but there is just something about him that I just love
^^Yeah he is unusually big but I still think he's so damn sexy, and I just love those massive pecs of his. They're the largest I've ever seen (except maybe Alexey Lesukov, but he's a bodybuilder so that's expected).
Alexey Lesukov's huge ass drives me crazy!
^^ Honestly I can't turn my attention away from his freakishly huge pecs long enough to even notice his ass.
George St. Pierre all the way. I don't know what's up with UFC lately though. It seems like it's just filled with pretty 20' something, white douchebags who ruin their bodies with even douchier tattoos and over saturate their wardrobes with Affliction wear.
It's almost becoming the new...."blonde hair, big boobs" yanno?
Man Bubba's ass was turning me on so hard on the show!

A reward will be paid to "who finds this particular tree, identifies it and measures it," said Tree Board adviser John Thomason of ABC Tree Service.
The reward will be presented at the Cleveland Arbor Day recognition at the location of said Big Old Tree on April 26.
"There are a lot of trees in backyards, vacant lots and other properties that we don't know about," Thomason said. "One of the things Cleveland Urban Forester Dan Hartman wants is to identify them on the city maps for information for the city and residents."
He said the plan is to "keep an eye" on the unoffending tree. Hopefully it will not be removed for a road, building or sewer line.
"We're doing this to try to preserve the tree canopy in Cleveland. We already know we've lost some," he said. "Too many times I get a call from someone who is afraid a tree will hit the house. Too many times they want to do improper work or simply remove the tree from a lack of understanding. In most cases, it dosen't need to be removed."
Ask property owners for permission to check trees and then follow the directions on how to measure the suspect tree.
"A 100-foot tape would be best to use, along with regular size screwdrivers for markers. The stick or part of a yard stick can be as short as 12 inches, but it might be better if it's 18 inches or longer for height measurement," he said. "The circumference of a large tree will be measured in inches, such as 150 inches, which will be verified and translated into a diameter measurement by use of a special tree tape."
Amy Banks, Jo Benjamin and Matt Coleman have volunteered to make the final selection. Cleveland City Urban Forester Dan Hartman and Thomason will perform the inspections and take final measurements. Their recommendations will be forwarded to the committee.
Please send tips by email or mail with the location and size of "the Big Old Tree" before April 1. Emails can be sent to email@example.com, and forms are available at the Cleveland Municipal Building to be mailed to: Dan Hartman, Urban Forester, City of Cleveland, P.O. Box 1519, Cleveland, TN 37364.
How to measure a big tree
A long piece of string, a tape measure, a stick as long as your arm and four sticks for stakes are needed to do a preliminary check for a champion-quality tree.
Step 1: Measure the trunk 4 ½ feet above the ground.
Step 2: Measure the height by holding a stick at arm's length with the top of the stick at eye level. Walk backward from the tree. When the hand holding the stick lines up with the base of the tree and the top of the stick lines up with the top of the tree, mark the spot.
Step 3: Measure the crown by looking for the widest part of the crown and mark the end of each pair of branches by placing a stake in the ground. Next, find the narrowest part of the crown and mark the ends of its branches. Measure the distance between the two pairs of stakes, then add the two distances and divide by two to get the average width of the crown.
