For an easy fat loss method, you may start a starvation diet or go for the healthiest route. The best route to attaining a healthy body and become fit is to maintain a balanced diet. This is the most basic rule to starting your own health campaign. Yet, this can be further enhanced to achieve a fit and strong body by incorporating physical exercise. A fitness routine can tremendously improve your immune system and flexibility. Aside from these, you can increase your body's capacity and the vital organ's performance due to better oxygen circulation and a normal blood flow. When the arteries are not clogged by excess fats, the vital organs do not have to do double work. Premium pure forskolin is your key to weight loss and better health.
Maintain a fat loss routine by choosing a physical exercise program that will suit you diet plan. It is necessary to match these two factors in your health plan as the body requires energy every single day even when you are at rest. You can get rid of fat by using proper supplements as well like those from pureyaconsyrup.com and other natural remedies. The muscle is one of the organs that requires energy even when it is at rest. So when choosing an exercise routine, make sure that your meal plan will provide you with the right amount of energy needed by the body to sustain your regular activities and your fitness activities. Getting these into place is necessary as you will prevent any physical injury and nutrient deficiency.
As you go through the fat loss program, always remember to take care of the other aspects of your health. Individually, we have different needs with regard to our mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects. We are bound to these factors in our wellness because these are interconnected. When you ignore even one of these aspects, your being may be totally in chaos especially when it comes to personal relationships that can directly affect all of these. Once you start a health program, be smart enough to consider these factors and include a holistic approach to improving your health. Try yoga as this is one of the easiest fat burning activity that you can start without spending too much on unnecessary equipment and fitness gears.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (2/6/14) — The Kentucky State Police is warning cell phone users to be aware of a new scam called "The One-Ring Scam."
Better Business Bureaus across the country are seeing a rash of reports of 'ring and runs' on cell phones where returning a missed call from an unknown number may cost you.
KSP spokesman Sgt. Michael Webb says scammers profit from individuals who are curious enough to return that missed call.
"A computer program originating outside the U.S. dials American customers and lets the phone ring one or two times before hanging up," says Webb. "This is enough time to register on a phone's missed-calls screen, but typically not enough time for a user to actually answer."
"Many people who receive a missed call will return the call and that is when their account is charged approximately $20 for the call and $9 for every additional minute."
BBB experts say this is called 'phone cramming,' when automated dialers send out thousands of calls to random numbers.
Most of the area codes are from the Caribbean Islands, but BBB says there is no way for them to really know where the calls are coming from.
Webb advises citizens to refrain from returning calls they do not recognize.
"We are encouraging people to review their cell phone statements and contact their cellular carrier immediately if they notice unauthorized charges," adds Webb.
The following is a list of area codes the BBB said is connected with the scam:
- Dominican Republic - 809
- Jamaica - 876
- British Virgin Islands - 284
- Grenada - 473
- Aruba - 297
- Antigua - 473

Thousands March in Baghdad Against U.S. Pact
October 23, 2008 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Waleed Ibrahim
BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Thousands of followers of anti-American cleric Moqtada al-Sadr took to the streets on Saturday in a demonstration against a pact that would allow U.S. forces to stay in Iraq for three more years.
Iraq's foreign minister said a draft of the agreement hammered out after months of negotiations was now final and being reviewed by political leaders. Parliament would be given a chance to vote for or against it, but not to make changes.
The agreement "has been presented as a final text by the two negotiating teams. The time now is time for a decision," Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari told a news conference. "I believe the next few days will be crucial for the Iraqi leaders to make a political decision and a judgment on this agreement."
At the demonstration across town, marchers waved Iraqi flags and chanted "Yes, yes Iraq! No, no to the occupation!"
A white-turbaned cleric read out what he described as a letter from Sadr calling on parliament to vote down the pact.
"I reject and condemn the continuation of the presence of the occupation force, and its bases on our beloved land," the letter said, calling the pact "shameful for Iraq." Marchers set fire to a U.S. flag, but the atmosphere appeared mostly calm.
"It is a peaceful demonstration, demanding that the occupier leave and the government not sign the pact," Ahmed al-Masoudi, a Sadrist member of parliament, told Reuters.
Iraqi authorities said the demonstration was authorized and security had been increased to protect the protesters, who were marching from Sadr's stronghold of Sadr City in the east of the capital to a nearby public square at a university.
"They have permission from the prime minister and the interior minister to hold a peaceful demonstration," the government's Baghdad security spokesman Qassim Moussawi said. "It is a part of democracy that people can protest freely."
The show of strength was a reminder of public hostility to the pact, which would give the U.S. troops a mandate directly from Iraq's elected leaders for the first time, replacing a U.N. Security Council resolution enacted after the invasion in 2003.
Support Not Assured
Support for the accord in Iraq's fractious parliament is far from assured, even though Iraq won important concessions from Washington over the course of months of negotiations.
U.S. officials have yet to explain the pact in public, but Iraqi leaders disclosed its contents this week.
The pact commits the United States to end patrols of Iraqi streets by mid-2009 and withdraw fully from the country by the end of 2011 unless Iraq asks them to stay, an apparent reversal for a U.S. administration long opposed to deadlines.
"This is a temporary agreement. It is not binding. It doesn't establish permanent bases for the U.S. military here in the country," Zebari said. "We are talking about three years, and it is subject to annual review also."
The pact describes certain conditions under which Iraq would have the right to try U.S. service members in its courts for serious crimes committed while off duty, an element that was crucial to winning Iraqi political support.
In Washington, officials in the administration of President George W. Bush briefed members of Congress about the pact on Friday and sought to reassure them that it protects U.S. troops.
"I think there is not reason to be concerned," Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters, adding that top military brass were happy with the legal protections in the accord.
The administration says it does not need congressional approval for the pact, but has nonetheless sought political support. Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice briefed the two U.S. presidential candidates on the pact on Friday.

Known as one of the premier cities for international trade due to its location along the U.S./Mexico border, El Paso is one of the best places in the Lone Star State to call home. People who live in El Paso apartments for rent will be happy to know that the city has been ranked as "America's Safest City," according to the city's official website. El Paso has also been recognized as one of the happiest cities to work and one of the country's best performing cities.

According to the U.S. Census, El Paso is home to more than 650,000 residents, so people who live in El Paso can enjoy living with big-city amenities.

The gala, held from 5:30-8 p.m., is the largest fundraiser of the year with all proceeds benefiting the library system.
Library Director Lynn Shurden said the event has brought in between $15,000-$23,000 in previous years, and she is hopeful for similar results despite the weak economy.
"We are so grateful for all the contributions," said Shurden. "I believe we have more community support at our libraries than in many other parts of the state.
"Without the gala and the fundraising we would not have a lot of the things we have because of budget cuts."
This year the Friends plan to use gala funds to purchase eBooks for the new eBook collection, as well as purchasing a new computer and genealogy database for the Mississippi Room.
The library announced the eBooks service last month after receiving a $10,000 grant from the Library Services and Technology Act issued by the Mississippi Library Commission.
"We are really excited to be offering the eBooks service at the library," said Shurden. "We are seeing more and more technology in libraries and I'm glad we're keeping up with the trends."
The success of previous galas has allowed the Friends to purchase important upgrades at different branches, including: new patron access computers, a new conference table and chairs for the Founders Room, new furnishings for Mound Bayou and Rosedale, a new circulation desk at Robinson-Carpenter and more.
The Friends and the library system are very appreciative that the community has rallied again this year with many local businesses and individuals pledging to support the event.
Several local chefs and businesses will provide hors d'oeuvres, wine and flowers.
Danny & Alphonso will also be on hand for musical entertainment.
The gala will again feature the popular wine pull and the Friends are respectfully asking the community to help by donating wine purchased from participating stores.
The participating stores will have necessary donation forms available for those wishing to donate wine. The stores are Cecil's Package Store, Lee Street Package Store and Ware Wine & Spirits.
Tickets are $25 per person and will be available prior to the event at Robinson-Carpenter Memorial Library. Tickets can also be purchased at the door the night of the gala.
In addition to the wine pull, there will also be a wine cash bar.
Any questions may be directed to the Bolivar County Library System at 662-843-2774.
"We are looking forward to another great evening for the Grape Expectations Benefit Gala," added Shurden. "The event attracts people from all walks of life. Come out and support us."

Day after election, stocks plummeted
BY DAVID ROEDER Business Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com November 7, 2012 9:38AM
The trading floor of the CBOE S&P 500 pit was a flurry of market action today, first day after the election of Obama. The day ended with the 500 down 33.86 points to 1394.53 on November 7, 2012. | Al Podgorski~Chicago Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: December 9, 2012 7:26PM
For investors, Wednesday was the start of new political era. It did not begin auspiciously, because it looked like the old political era.
Stocks fell in the first session after President Barack Obama's re-election. The outcome wasn't a surprise; so-called prediction markets months ago settled on Obama as the favorite and investors took up positions in stocks thought to benefit from a second Democratic term.
But the election, close in the popular vote and breaking along clear regional and racial lines, essentially sent the same crew back to Congress as well. It was as if Wall Street woke up to the consequences of what it had long expected.
Uppermost in peoples' minds was the yearend "fiscal cliff" of mandated tax increases and spending cuts that will take place without a bipartisan agreement on deficit reduction. Bad news out of Europe, with new projections of an economic slowdown and another protest against austerity in Greece, also pushed shares lower.
Economists said the cliff's requirements are a toxic potion for an economy still in tenuous health.
"There will be a lot of brinksmanship, and that will hurt the economy and likely upset the financial markets," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 312.95 points, 2.4 percent, to 12,932.73 — its worst day in a year. The Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 33.86, 2.4 percent, to 1,394.53 and the Nasdaq composite index tumbled 74.64, 2.5 percent, to 2,937.29.
Amid the general damage to stocks were signs that investors were sorting companies according to the election's implications. Financial stocks took a beating on the likelihood that tighter financial regulations embodied in the Dodd-Frank Act will remain in place and that Obama will enforce them with zest in a second term.
Bank of America Corp. shares lost 7.1 percent to close at $9.23. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. shares retreated 6.6 percent to $117.98.
Local bank stocks BankFinancial Corp., MB Financial Inc. and PrivateBancorp Inc. all posted declines of about 4.5 percent to 9 percent and were among the loss leaders in Chicago area companies.
Large local losers in the market's worst day for the broader markets since June were wireless service provider Telephone & Data Systems Inc., which surrender 16.6 percent of its value to $21.87 a share, and one of its subsidiaries, United States Cellular Corp., which fell 12.4 percent to $34.18 a share. They rattled investors with earnings reports and an announcement that U.S. Cellular is withdrawing from the Chicago market, selling its customers here to Sprint.
An Obama administration could push for higher taxes on the wealthy and on investment income, such as from dividends. That could pressure stocks that are popular with dividend-seekers, and Wednesday some were down but not as sharply as the broader market. Examples include Exelon Corp., off 1.6 percent, and Johnson & Johnson, a 0.9 percent decliner.
Some analysts saw the selloff as setting up the market for a yearend rally. The bulls also said several sectors are likely to benefit under Obama.
Areas they cite include construction companies and stocks expected to prosper under health-care reform, including hospitals and insurance companies. Hospital owner Tenet Healthcare Corp. rose 9.6 percent to $27.34, but insurer UnitedHealth Group Inc. fell 3.8 percent to $54.26.
Analysts Tom Dwyer and Michael Welch at Cancaccord Financial Inc. said stocks should see "a meaningful advance through yearend." They said the fourth quarter of an election usually features a robust advance in the Standard & Poor's 500.
Dwyer and Welch said their 2013 target for the S&P 500 remains 1,650, 18 percent higher than the present level.
Sherry Cooper, chief economist at BMO Financial Group, believes the fiscal cliff will see a settlement and that stocks will rally.
"Indeed, the next four years are going to be a gift to the next president— regardless of who had won — just as the past four years was a nightmare," she wrote in a note to clients. "The U.S. is on the rebound and growth could well accelerate to the 3 percent range by 2014 thanks to the one missing link in the tepid recovery — housing. Household formation is returning to normal and pent-up demand for housing and related goods is huge."

According to an interview with Craig Scott, the last words spoken by his sister Rachel Scott were to proclaim her belief in God.
She was then shot four times and killed on a grassy hill during lunch by two shooters.
Rachel was the first of 12 students to die in the Columbine Shooting in 1999.
It was from this tragedy that her family created Rachel's Challenge, a "series of student empowering programs and strategies that equip students and adults to combat bullying and allay feelings of isolation and despair by creating a culture of kindness and compassion," according to the Rachel's Challenge Website.
The Junior Auxiliary of Cleveland will sponsor Rachel's Challenge at Bayou Academy, Margaret Green Junior High School, Cleveland High School, East Side High School and D.M. Smith Middle School.
A community event will be held on Oct. 2 at 6 p.m. at MGJH gym.
"The message from Rachel's Challenge is an inspirational message that has impacted millions of people," said Lesley Mancini, a JA member and organizer of the event.
"JA of Cleveland attended the Annual Education Conference this summer and had the pleasure of hearing the inspirational message of Rachel's Challenge," Mancini also said, "Our chapter felt strongly that by being able to provide the Rachel's Challenge experience to all 7-12 graders in Cleveland would be extremely beneficial to not only the students but to our community."
Scott was a normal teenager and after her death, her parents realized that the writings in her journals could change the lives of others.
According to the Website, shortly before her death Rachel wrote, "I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go."
The goals and objectives for schools are to create a safe learning environment for all students by re-establishing civility and delivering proactive anecdotes to school violence and bullying, to improve academic achievement by engaging students' hearts, heads and hands in the learning process.
Also to provide students with social/emotional education that is both colorblind and culturally relevant.
Lastly, to train adults to inspire, equip and empower students to affect permanent positive change.
The presentation is geared for sixth-graders to adults and admission is free.

Ever since The Alaska Club opened its first location in 1986, they've been striving to serve their members by adding amenities, classes, and opening new locations. Though each location?s offerings vary, they supplement their well-stocked fleets of cardio machines and strength equipment with cycling studios, climbing walls, basketball courts, swimming pools, and play centers for the kids. The club also offers spa services including hydromassage beds, tanning, and saunas.
Group fitness classes include yoga, step aerobics, and Pilates, and personal trainers stand at the ready to help clients focus on fitness goals. The clubs also offer swim lessons and summer camps for kids, setting in stone their commitment to making The Alaska Club a place for the whole family, not the half-formed family, which needs at least seven more years to gestate in the laboratory incubator.

This is a curve hugging, form fitted dress and I use to not be a huge fan of strapless but this one has changed my mind! :) I'm 5'5 and the dress falls below my knee but I think this makes it look classy. I got in xl since I got bigger chest and booty and the fit is good. Has stretch to it and the red is a nice color, which I'm a fan of red and black colors being paired together. Going to wear this dress with my new bebe wedges, some shoulder length earrings and a sheer kimono top. Can't go wrong with this dress! Oh and saving $100 with spring promo code, helped a lot! Even tho bebe has gotten pricier on there clothes and items.

The power of fertility is in your doctor's hands.
I can't imagine my life without my children, yet that's the potential future of the more than four million infertile women in the country. But oocyte cryopreservation – the process of freezing human eggs – offers hope.
"Five years ago, this was barely possible," says Lauren Streicher, MD, Gynecologic Specialists of Northwestern and assistant clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. "And we don't know how long eggs will be viable once they're frozen, since most women who've undergone the process aren't yet ready to use them."
The procedure itself is relatively easy. A woman is given a course of synthetic hormones to stimulate the ovaries into producing multiple eggs, rather than the single egg that normally develops each month. After 8-14 days, the egg retrieval is done under sedation in a doctor's office and takes about 30 minutes.
So when is the best time to begin the process? Dr. Streicher says the younger the better. "Our bodies were created to bear children in our 20s. That's when eggs are most fertile." David Cohen, MD, professor of obstetrics/gynecology and chief of reproductive endocrinology and infertility, University of Chicago, agrees — especially since "70 percent of all embryos after 40 will be abnormal. After that age, a good egg is hard to find."
Then there are women who might have had normal fertilizations and pregnancies until a different scenario unfolded – a diagnosis of cancer. Chemotherapy, radiation and surgery can destroy a woman's reproductive capabilities. That's what inspired Teresa Woodruff, PhD, director, Women's Health Research Institute and chief of division of obstetrics and gynecology-fertility preservation, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, to coin the term 'oncofertility' – a field that bridges the worlds of oncology and fertility.
Doctors urge patients to preserve eggs as soon as possible after cancer diagnoses, before any treatment begins. They don't often have to talk women into the procedure. "You need chemo," Dr. Streicher tells her patients. "But guess what, we can save your eggs."
Dr. Cohen presents egg freezing to his patients as an insurance policy. "In general, if a woman is young the actual likelihood that she'll use the frozen eggs is small," he observes. "But just as with any other insurance policy, she'll have a fallback plan in case she loses ovarian functionality after cancer treatment. And I encourage women to freeze both embryos and eggs. For those who don't have a partner with whom to create embryos, we use donor sperm." Unused eggs and embryos can then be donated to other women with fertility issues.
Alice Crisci was diagnosed with cancer in 2008. "I went to a fertility clinic to discuss cryopreservation and was totally on board and then I heard the cost – $20,000." Ms. Crisci was immediately on the phone to increase her American Express credit card limit, charged the whole thing and began the hormone shots. Just months ago, on the fifth anniversary of her cancer diagnosis, she heard her baby's heartbeat for the first time.
But long before Ms. Crisci became pregnant, she recognized the need for all women to have the option of preserving eggs, regardless of their economic situation. She created Fertile Action, an organization that helps women touched by cancer become mothers through education, advocacy and financial assistance.
Doctors have become so proficient at harvesting/freezing eggs that the American Medical Association no longer considers it experimental. That's especially good news as it opens up the possibility of insurance companies covering the procedure. That said, the technology surrounding oocyte cryopreservation is moving at lightning speed, and more research means more chances that all women will know the joys of motherhood.

New TV Shows
The company that I currently have my TV service through is going to have to change. I am not really interested in a lot of the stuff that is available because I really only watch some channels and all of the crazy stuff you can get isn't really what I am looking for, however I am going to be seeing if there is something else I can do because I don't really like the things that are going on now. My cable company kind of get sunder mys kin and I've been thinking that I'm going to need to find something else. There are a few other choices but I'm not really sure which I should go with. I mean there is obviously the choice is just renting the shows that I want to see but that isn't really the best way to do it and the other thing that I was thinking was checking out another business. There is ATT and they have a few different offerings I think which include Uverse and that is something I think I am going to look at in more scrutiny. There should be some thing available that I might want to do that will be a better deal for me since I am not really going to want to keep doing it the way I have been. So I'm thinking that I'm going to have to look for what is available and see if there is anything I can do with that. I think I might have to find some att coupon codes Uverse and see if there are any that might be the thing that will be best. Perhaps I will be able to get some input or something form a friend who has another service but really everyone I know has the same thing that I have because that's the well known service and that is what I have seen when I am looking around but really it's just that I think there are probably some choices that would be better around here. Should I find something that works I will be happy to call and get everything set up so that I can do it that and not have to keep seeing what is out there and really the only thing I have been thinking about as far as this goes ifs if there is going to be something that will give me what I want and that will be the thing I do for my service because I am not really liking the business I have now. So as soon as I am able to get one to of those, if I do, I will get everything so I can do it for the shows that I want to watch and everything else that I do with TV so that's really what I"m thinking will work.
A Garden
The thing that my cousin really enjoys is gardening. Probably that is why I keep asking him questions about all of that since I have become interested in learning more about it. He was giving me some reasons for why he grows what he does, and all these different bits of intelligence he has gotten from doing so and although it was really interesting to me I didn't really get much of it because it's something that I am very new to. But I have been really wanting to create my own garden and I think that I will have to get some more suggestions from him as to what I should do.
The main reason I want a garden, though, sis so I can get some cool metal garden furniture and have like a whole little place where you can go and just do whatever you want ain that type of setting. Having never had a garden I just think it would be a pretty interesting thing to do. And I you are going to invite over people or whatever you would have something to do there as well.
My cousin is the opposite, though. His is basically just for testing function and he doesn't really have it as part of his decor or anything. It's just a bunch of plants that are growing and I guess that's a good way to do it if that is your goal, but for me it would have to be something that provides even better purpose for doing it. I mean it's like another association that people are going to have when they think about your condo or whatever so why wouldn't you want it to be helping improve the overall scene? I would, although I understand why other people wouldn't. But that's mostly the reason I wt to be able to do it and of course if I can get some other things from it in the process then that would be even more desirable. Probably I should see if anyone else in my city that I know would be able to do anything to point me in the right direction as I'm sure there are probably some people that know about this. The other thing is that I am going to see exactly what I will have to do because it seems that it's probably not quite as easy as just planting some seeds and then watering them and letting them show up, or is it?
Camera Talk
As most of you know, I like to take pictures. That should be pretty clear to anyone who has read my blog because I talk about it all the time, but if you didn't know that, now you do. Anyway, I have a few cameras, and I'm not even talking about the one on my cell phone (which is probably the one I use more than the rest, although that's a convenience factor). And speaking of cell phones, I saw a commercial for a new phone that has a 43 megapixel camera on it. Crazy.
Alright, so one of the things I look for in a camera is the ability to take good photos from a distance. You need to be able to zoom in and get a good shot while not necessarily getting too close to whatever it is you're capturing. It's best if you can do this without losing much image quality which is something I don't want to worry regarding, even though i can usually touch up any weird spots in an photo editing program after I get all my photographs taken. An issue I face with cameras is dealing with getting enough light in the photos. I was reading a Nikon D7100 review and it seems like this camera has some features that I would like to see, including snapping 6 photos per second for up to 600 pictures. I bet you could get some really cool pictures with that. It's also got wireless capability so you can upload your photos to your computer without having to actually connect it, which might not always be something you need, but is definitely a cool feature. I think this one may be a bit better than the previous model, based on what I've heard, and I am interested in trying one out for myself. Of course, I don't know if that's going to be the next one that I get, but it's fun to look online at all the new ones that are coming out and see if there are any that can do the things I'm looking for and if there are any new features I haven't even thought of and take a look at what they claim. Of course, I'm the kind of person who likes to read about stuff online, and I'll also post about it which is part of the reason I blog here on this site.
The Design Is Already There
I am going to be talking about blogging today. I was talking to a friend about how I like to write and I post the stuff online and people can find it and read it if they want and he mentioned that was something he had been interested in to, but wasn't sure where to start. I guess it might not be clear for some people how to get started. I mean, I've been posting what I write online for so long that I forgot what it's like to start when you don't know how to do it. So my friend is going to set up his own blog, he said.
He was telling me how he wanted to have it set up but then said he was going to have to learn how to do all the programming himself. I said no way, you can use some template like the one you get from WordPress or whatever. Or you can just start writing and once you have a good number of posts then you can put them all online. It think that might be a bit better because you'll have the stuff written already and you won't be sitting there trying to come up with something to write. There are other things you can do with your site, too, as I'm sure you know from the number of sites online where people post pictures and all of that. But I think that my friend is probably going to be writing about the stuff that he is planning on learning. He's one of those guys who is always studying even though he isn't in school and I think he wants to document it on his site.
So he should go with some blog that is easy to set up or there's always blogs you can pay for or whatever if you want something a bit different. I think though that I'm going to wait and see what my friend does and I'm pretty sure his site will get pretty popular within the blogging community since he has a unique way of writing that usually makes me laugh. I'm not really into the whole aspect of writing and putting jokes everywhere, but my friend is able to do it in a way that I think is totally awesome and not irritating at all. You know like you'll be reading stuff and there are some jokes in it but they aren't actually funny and you're just like um, why is this even here? It's like the opposite of that when my friend writes. So now that I've gotten you all pumped up about it, we'll have to see if my friend goes and starts his own website for his writing.
The Extra Bedroom
My friend has been telling me that he snores. He said that his wife is getting pretty annoyed with him and made him go sleep on the couch the other night. I don't know what I would do if that happened to me, but I don't think I would go sleep on my couch. It's my bed and if someone didn't want to sleep in it with me they are more than welcome to go get on the couch. Having never had that happen though, I don't really know what I would do.
I told my friend he should just try sleeping another way but he didn't think that would work. He said he snores if he lays on his back but I think that he should try sleeping on his side. He said he can't sleep on his stomach, though, because it is uncomfortable. I can kind of agree with that because I don't like sleeping on my stomach, either.
Some of the other things that can cause snoring might be things that he doesn't have any control over. I asked him if his wife snores and he said no, so I guess he is the only one. He shoed me http://www.withoutsnoring.com/ and some info about different products that can help keep you from snoring but I don't know if if any of those actually work. I know that it's a pretty hot topic and there are people who are trying to come up with ways to stop snoring. I am not sure if any of them work for everyone though so I'll have to see what my friend does. I told him he can sleep at my place if he wants since I'm hard to disturb but I don't want anyone sleeping in my room with me. I have a second bedroom at the other end of the hall and if he's in there I wouldn't be able to hear him snoring, anyway. I think that he might actually take m e up on the offer, though, cuz he said his wife is pretty angry bout being woken up by him snoring. Of course, she might just be making the whole thing up but that would be crazy and I don't think she's actually crazy. Then again, maybe he just started snoring cuz he has some congestion or something. Does that even cause you to snore? I have no idea. I should see if I can find out anything for him.
Helping Someone Move
I helped my buddy move today. He lived in an old three-flat in the city but moved to the suburbs to be closer to his job–we joked and told him he was turning into a yuppie. The move was much more difficult than I expected because I developed a splitting headache not long after I woke up and now, over 15 hours later, it is still with me. I don't get headaches too often but man, today was a really bad day to get one. As a guy you're expected to be there for your friends and not back out of commitments with them, especially if it involves a major life change like a move. I didn't even wanna bring it up–all I did was take four ibuprofen and drink a lot of water and hope for the best. It didn't help though. Or rather, the ibuprofen and water did help the headache but the physical act of moving gigantic pieces of furniture down three flights of very narrow stairs made my headache worse, so it balanced out.
I know it probably isn't exactly fair to say, but in some ways women are lucky when they get headaches. It is usually a bit more socially acceptable for them to excuse themselves from needing to do things that may make headaches worse. Us guys are supposed to be tough and just deal with it. It doesn't help that men don't get very many headaches, outside of hangover-related ones, so people don't even really think about such a thing happening.
We did stop for something to eat in the middle of it all and that helped me feel a bit better. It also helps that my friends are funny and kept my mind off my unspoken misery, for the most part.
Either way, I can tell you I'm very happy to be home from helping my buddy move. He's all settled into his new place out in the 'burbs and I'm back at home with some Migralex stress headache relief that my friend told me to try (he said you can use it for other types of headaches we well) and an ice pack on my head, with a bad horror movie on the television. Getting a headache really sucks but knowing how mine are, after a good night's sleep I will wake up refreshed and headache-free. I just hope that next time one of my friends needs to move out of the top floor of a three-flat then I wake up that morning feeling 100%!
Five Years At My Other Job
As you know I'm a photographer in my heart, but I also have another job
For those of you that know me pretty well, today I celebrate a milestone. This is year number five of my (somewhat) lucrative career working as a mechanic. I had no idea I would end up doing this, considering I went to school for communications. Turns out my niche was on the complete opposite end of the spectrum.
How did it all start? Well, I got what I thought was my dream job right out of college, but found out quickly that I absolutely hate working in a cubicle. In fact, it only took a year for me to figure out that almost all of the jobs that I qualified for with my degree were jobs that I really couldn't see myself doing for a long period of time. Whoops, wish I would have figured that out earlier.
Well, a good friend of mine told me that his place was hiring a person to work on the large industrial machines in the factory he'd been working at since high school. These machines are massive…presses that are twenty feet tall, CNC machines that can cut about anything you could need, giant conveyors, robots, you name it. Well I didn't have a ton of experience but I had a good work ethic so they gave me a chance.
After about six months, I was finally in the full swing of things and discovered that I really liked getting my hands dirty. Something about fixing things just satisfies an innermost craving I have. I guess I could say it brings out my inner caveman. Either way, I had finally found something I loved, and knew I would stay here for a long period of time.
I love this job, and I definitely love the tools I get to play with on a daily basis. One of the coolest things I have at my disposal are hydraulic torque wrenches by TorqLite. This thing is pretty small compared to what it can do. I hook it up to a hydraulic power unit, hit a button, and this baby can drive a bolt with tens of thousands of pounds of torque. I think it's the fact that I have this kind of power at my disposal that makes me glad I work here. Like I said, this job brings out my inner caveman and every time I get to play with something as powerful as this, it's like I rediscover fire.
I'm Kinda DIY
I am in the process of remodeling my house and it has been nothing but easy. I keep hitting these little roadblocks and I'm starting to get pretty frustrated over the whole deal. I wish I was rich so I could afford to have somebody else do all the work for me but sadly that isn't the case. I'm hoping the next room I work on will go smoother than what I have done so far. I'm going to be working on my office and am going to keep it simple. I bought a bunch of wire shelves to hang up to keep things tidy in there for starters. I also bought a new computer desk and chair and am going to add some art to the walls and that's about it. I thought about putting up new wallpaper in there too but the fact is I'm not in there enough to justify doing that. I have both a laptop and netbook now and am rarely on my computer.
After the office I'm going to tackle probably my biggest project in this whole thing and that is my kitchen. I doubt you want to hear my plans for that but I'm going to tell you anyways. First off I'm removing all the cabinets. They are old and need to go. I already have some new ones picked out because I like to plan ahead. I am also getting a new granite table top which I can't wait to have. The old kitchen table and chair are also going although I haven't picked out anything new to replace them.
Last but not least is my downstairs. My friend Mark has a man-cave in his basement and I want to try to replicate that. It wont be exactly the same of course but it'll be close. I want to get the same sized TV that he has and the same sectional couch. I have spent many of nights on that couch of his so I know it is nice. I won't however be putting in a pool table like he has. I was never a big fan of shooting pool although I will do it on occasion. I should probably be honest and say I don't like it because I am downright terrible at it. I can never make any balls unless I get lucky and the way my friends play those lucky shots don't count.
Remember Film?
You know what one of the best parts about digital photography is? It's not the fact that you can immediately see your pictures as soon as you taken them (as opposed to having to wait to develop the film). It's not the ease with which you can digitally edit a photo. Both of those things are cool, don't misunderstand, but my favorite part is the the fact that everything is digital and that means storing your photos is simple.
I have shoeboxes and albums full of pictures from back in the day when I used a real camera with real film. I should really go through and scan all those pictures one day, but in the meantime they'll just stay in the albums.
But now that everything goes directly to my hard drive, I can do whatever I want with it, I can save the original, and I can send copies to everyone. If you want a copy of an actual photograph you have to develop the negatives into another picture, which takes money and time. If the pic is on my computer and I want another copy of it, I just copy and paste it and I'm done. It's much easier!
The other thing that's easier about keeping pictures on your hard drives is it's easier to back them up. If you lose the negatives for an original picture you're pretty much out of luck (well I mean you can scan the picture and have a copy of it that way, but then that's crossing into the computer realm). I've also been looking for an online backup for all my pictures (just in case something happens to my computer). There's always a cloud backup, you know, "the cloud", which is basically just a fancy term for the internet. Here's a Zipcloud review which is one such service. Basically they keep your data on their servers so if you lose your computer or your hard drive crashes or whatever you still have a backup copy. It's kind of a cool idea, and also makes it kind of convenient since you can access your files from anywhere, so like if I'm vising a friend and want to show them something I wouldn't have to bring my computer or external hard drive with me or anything. Just something to consider.
Of course, there is still something to be said for old school photography, it's just that using digital cameras is easier so it's no wonder they're so popular.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
I remember about 15-20 years ago when the internet wasn't widespread like it is now. In the early 90's I discovered bulletin boards. You'd call up a bulletin board with your modem and access everything through a text-based interface. Bulletin boards were awesome. They had a basic form of email (you could send messages to other users of that board) and users could share files with each other. I remember getting a bunch of shareware games from them. It was actually really cool though because sometimes game developers would upload their own games there, too. The only problem was that you had to make sure the numbers you dialed weren't long distance or you might get a big phone bill!
I remember when the internet started becoming widespread. I had a trial; one month free. I gave it a try with my dial up modem and I was hooked! This was in the days before Google, of course, so I would hop over to Alta Vista or Excite and search for whatever I wanted. Most of the results were fan pages. It wasn't like it is now where everyone is trying to sell you stuff and there are ads all over everything. The early days of the commercial internet were just people with like interests talking and sharing information with each other.
I remember in the late 90's and early 2000's in university when we had classes on how the internet was going to transform the world. You have to keep in mind that most people there, and especially the teachers, weren't internet "nerds" like I was. Some of them were just getting their first email address ever through the university. We had classes about how the internet could revolutionize business by providing and outlet to sell goods and services without having to actually pay rent on a physical store location. We studied Amazon.com and some of the teachers said they weren't comfortable ordering books online. I remember sharing with them my brilliant strategy of going to a brick and mortar bookstore to find the books I wanted, and then ordering them online to save money.
Now I use the internet for even more. I pay my bills online. I spend countless hours online researching stuff (much of which is just for fun). I talk to other people on forums devoted to many of my hobbies: photography, music, cars, etc. Of course, there's YouTube, which needs no explanation. I can even stock my wardrobe online from many of the online clothes shopping Australia sites. There's eBay where I have bought (and sold) a lot of stuff. There are review sites for everything. I cannot even tell you how many new bands I have discovered online that I never would've heard of otherwise.
So yeah, there's all the cool business stuff. My professors were right about that. But I think it's even more impressive in its use for sharing information around the world.

On the Utah Army Service Forces Depot Details one of the chief difficulties was the matter of transportation of the prisoners of war and the Italian Service Units from the Compounds to the Administration and Storage areas. A final solution was the removal of seats in the train and the installation of overhead handrails made of available pipe, the work being done by German prisoners of war, thus providing transportation for the additional five hundred prisoners of war previously transported by truck.

With a little help from CSCC's Media Center and Adobe Connect Pro technology, representatives from EUC-Syd in Sonderborg, Denmark, and CSCC in Cleveland, were able to be at the same place at the same time on Tuesday of this week — well, sort of.
The collaboration between CSCC and EUC-Syd will provide many benefits for both the institutions and their students. It will promote more efficient use of the available resources and prepare the students to function more effectively in an increasingly international and technologically connected world.
"This particular technology (Adobe Connect Pro) is getting to be pretty common across the state of Tennessee," stated Dr. Ron Paige, director of Instructional Technology and Multi-Media Services.
"It allows us to meet in real time using the Internet and VoIP technology to essentially see, hear, and share documents with anybody who has access to the Internet anywhere in the world, and we actually have as good as, if not better activity with the Internet than with our telephone lines so we will be able to see the people we are speaking with. They will be able to see us simultaneously. The technology is smart enough that it actually knows who is talking and it shuts down the microphone on the other side so we do not talk over each other and get audio feedback. It is a really smart system. ... for the cost, the features, and the functionality, it is just unbeatable."
Dr. Carl Hite, CSCC president, said, "I think this M.O.U. is a wonderful opportunity for the college. We feel that we have a lot to be gained, particularly in the area about sustainability. They, in turn, have expressed an interest about what we have done with our Math Lab, so we feel this will be a mutually beneficial relationship."
"EUC-Syd finds the international partnership with Cleveland State Community College very important, stated Hans Lehmann, vice principal, EUC-Syd. "Travelling and experiencing other societies and cultures are essential for young people, not just for their own lives, but for Denmark, as we will all benefit from future generations being able to integrate the international dimension in private life and jobs.
"Our students will benefit and improve their technical skills and personal skills. EUC Syd is very much looking forward to cooperating with Cleveland State Community College, and we believe that we learn from each other and joint develop our colleges."
Through the M.O.U., CSCC and EUC-Syd agreed to the following goals:
- The enhancement of existing curricular offerings of each institution by means of in-depth comparison and review whether special focus on sustainability and the use of new technology to deliver curriculum offerings;
- The exchange of expertise in new developments in education and technical training, particularly in the areas that lend themselves to electronic connectivity;
- The establishment of guest lectures delivered by distance technology and/or instructor exchange;
- The formation of partnerships between the two colleges, public authorities, the business community and other educational establishments.
The following joint activities are planned:
- The exchange of college representatives;
- The review and comparison of the curriculum and the development of innovative curriculum, teaching materials, methods and modules exploiting, the new educational technologies and distance learning;
- The establishment of guest lectures;
- The exchange of students, lecturers and non-teaching staff;
- Exploring the possibilities of students working on joint sustainable learning projects.
Formal procedures and a time schedule for transatlantic co-operation will be established, including: the identification within each college of an administrative unit responsible for the collaborative effort; the establishment of a time schedule for exchanges; and the evaluation and possible restructuring of the collaborative agreement.
Both colleges are members of the Transatlantic Technology and Training Alliance, or TA3. This is a membership consortium of more than 30 leading community and technical colleges, and several state system offices in the U.S., Europe and South Africa that promotes community colleges' efforts to support their regional economies, and promotes the value and importance of a global perspective on community college missions.
The TA3 seeks to be a leading alliance in fostering international exchange and insight among community and technical colleges, particularly among industrialized nations.
The TA3's mission is to support learning, innovation and exchange among institutions offering pre-baccalaureate technical education, to promote policies and research that support their ability to be effective leaders in regional economic development, and to disseminate lessons learned.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I thought that those of you who have to deal with the remnants of this weekend's record snowfall, might like a recipe for a hot and steaming soup that's guaranteed to warm the cockles of your heart. This soup is Moroccan and it's best described as a light tomato broth that's given a huge flavor boost with the addition of harissa, a North African chili paste. Harissa is not for the faint of heart. The amount used in this recipe causes a pleasant warmth at the back of the throat, but over-zealous use of the paste can take your taste buds out for a week. I use a commercial variety, but if you'd like to make your own, a nice recipe for it can be found here. While I use harissa with some regularity, I've only just discovered this soup, and had it not been for a photo I saw on, My Life in the Charente, a blog written by my cyber-friend Diane, I might never have known of its existence. That would have been a shame because this light and versatile soup is really delicious. Served in small bowls, it is a perfect way to start a fancy dinner. When poured, instead, into mugs, you'll have a great game day sipper. I love the soup, and served with or without the cream topper, I think you'll find it to be a marvelous addition to your recipe collection. I found the recipe for this soup on the Muslim Aid site. Here's how they suggest the soup be made.
Tomato Soup with Harissa and Cilantro Cream...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Muslim Aid Society
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound yellow onions, about 2 cups chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons harissa
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 (14.5-oz.) cans chopped plum tomatoes in tomato juice
1 tablespoon grated or finely chopped fresh ginger
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
7 to 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro + cilantro sprigs for garnish
Optional: naan bread
1) Heat oil in a saucepan and cook onions gently for 5 minutes or until soft but not browned. Add garlic and cumin cook for 30 seconds then add harissa and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute longer. Add tomatoes, ginger, sugar and chicken broth. Season and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and gently simmer for 20 minutes longer. Allow mixture to cool a little. W
Working in batches, process soup in a blender until smooth. Alternatively, puree soup in pot with an immersion blender. Strain soup through a fine mesh sieve. Return soup to pan and bring to a boil. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
2) Lightly whip cream and fold in cilantro. Season to taste with salt. To serve, spoon about 2 tablespoons cream on top of soup and garnish with cilantro sprigs. Yield: 8 servings.

What the hey, just go ahead and get naked! A dick just a dick afterall
I don't see any of the on-lookers without a SMILE on their face
Even more awesome pics! Very glad that you got the caps of the weigh-in at the top of the page! Also, I love the ones where the guys get naked BUT still have some sort of jewellery on, or even better, one of those wristbands that they're made to wear -- they take absolutely everything off in order to make weight, but not these!
I'll continue to post if/when I find some more great pics!
Heh, well I don't spend THAT much time looking lol, just one day I might think, ooo, I wonder whether there are any pics from...China! Kind of like that lol! (and indeed there are!)
Never been to one myself, but I think there are quite a few boxing gyms nearby, hmm maybe I should reconsider my career in life!
^^^ gym weigh- in is Shane Kepple- Degrassi star from his film, Dog Pound
I LOVE that first pic!!
I know what you mean too, particularly when you see videos where other people in the room can clearly see everything but the camera is just positioned so that we can't! Or even better, when a picture has obviously been edited/cropped - some lucky bugger got to censor the original!
hope you all like the pics of the weigh-in i went to.
it was so hot seeing all the guys stripping down infromt of so many people and cameras.
some of the guys even stood around in their underwear untill it was thier turn to get weighed.
no one got naked unfortunately but it was still worth going!!!!
cant wait untill next time
This is a "hetero's" way of trying to justify why a boxer needs to be photographed naked among tens of different guys ... shoulder to shoulder. It is to record an "exact weight".
I think stuff like this is hysterical. As if something like this needs to be done in a public setting surrounded by all those different men. Ridiculous, but hot at the same time.
Telling it like it is.
Some more fantastic pics here guys!! Keep em coming! I'll have a look tonight and see if I've got any more to add
Fucking HOOOOOTTTTTTT!!! Amazing pics, where did you find them?! THESE are the kinda pics which there need to be more of in the world
I really can't remember whether this pic came from this site or not, but anyway here you are - I think it's more of an artsy pic than anything real I think, but it's still nice
Oh and I'm still on the look out for a decent video of that Lopez-Salido weigh-in - there's bound to be one from a great angle that'll surface over the next couple of days!!

Special thanks to Kate Hotchkiss Taylor for contacting us and sharing the link to her article about the Lindberghs in North Haven as they prepared for their historic trip.
Below is an excerpt from her article:
"An hour and a half before they took off, you could have walked across the Thoroughfare on the rowboats," wrote Ellen Pratt (1906 - 2000) of the day Anne Morrow and Charles Augustus Lindbergh left North Haven on what became the Great Circle Route to the Orient.
That was July 30th, 1931, described by Pratt as "a perfectly beautiful day." Aviator hero Colonel Lindbergh and his pilot-navigator-radio operator wife Anne had just spent a respite at her family's summer home surrounded by friends and relatives. The trip originated in Washington, D.C. The flight officially started in New York. For Anne and her fellow islanders, the true beginning of this startling journey was firmly anchored in the Fox Island Thoroughfare between two islands.
